Report on Popocatepetl (Mexico) — 21 December-27 December 2011
Smithsonian Institution / US Geological Survey
Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 21 December-27 December 2011
Managing Editor: Sally Sennert.
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 2011. Report on Popocatepetl (Mexico) (Sennert, S, ed.). Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 21 December-27 December 2011. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
19.023°N, 98.622°W; summit elev. 5393 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
CENAPRED reported that during 21-27 December steam-and-gas emissions rose from Popocatépetl; the plumes contained small amounts of ash during 22-24 December. On 21 December a bluish gas plume was observed and during 22-23 December ash plumes rose 0.9-1 km above the crater. Crater incandescence was observed at night during 26-27 December.
Geological Summary. Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, rises 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America's 2nd-highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 400 x 600 m wide crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano. At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas to the south. The modern volcano was constructed south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone. Three major Plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 CE, have occurred since the mid-Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano. Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since Pre-Columbian time.

Mustang Week 2012
Photography Austin C. Craig, Keplinger Designs
For the past ten years Mustang enthusiasts have been traveling to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a multi faceted event called Mustang Week. The whole idea for the event started when five friends who shared their love of Mustangs and their condos at Myrtle Beach decided to have a car show. You see, Mike Clay, Rodney Melton, Scott Morgan, Brad Worley and the late Bill Jones all vacationed in Myrtle Beach with their families during the third week of July. They all enjoyed the beach, plus all the attractions the area has to offer and thought why not a have a gathering of Mustangs. Their idea was that Mustang owners could bring their cars and families, spend the morning at the beach or in the many shops and attractions in Myrtle Beach, then attend a Mustang show or activities during the afternoon and evening.
The Mustang Week idea was a good one and the event grew over the years as Mustang enthusiasts and their families enjoyed the friendly Mustang Week staff and an atmosphere where Mustang owners could meet new friends and renew old friendships. The performance aftermarket found a similar reception and the number of companies that are sponsors and exhibitors, reads like the who's who of Mustang performance. Ford dealers, Palmetto Ford located in Charleston, South Carolina and Palmetto Ford in Rocky Mount, North Carolina have been sponsors for the last few years and like all the Mustang Week sponsors, have found Mustang Week to be a prudent and rewarding investment.
This year Mustang Week attracted enthusiast from 32 states, over 2,600 Mustangs of all vintages and over 10,000 spectators. But the numbers do not tell the whole story; Mustang Week is exactly that, this year starting on Monday, July 16th with a Meet and Greet and the last event on Saturday July 21st where 2,600 Mustangs enjoyed a cruise in at the Myrtle Beach Mall.
The event began with a pre-event VIP party at Ridemakerz who hosted a party at the location on the beach where 100 lucky people won a basic stock car ride just for attending. Ridemakerz features all kinds of model cars and the tools for enthusiasts to build their own trick ride. Mustang bodies are a popular choice and the final product can very artistic.
Never resting on their laurels, the Mustang Week staff came up with another winner for the official meet-n-greet; the Palace Theater located at Broadway on the Beach entertainment complex was the ideal location to officially begin Mustang Week. There was plenty of parking and it was noted that scores of vacationers could be seen checking out the impressive lineup of over 600 Mustangs as they passed by. This year Vaughn Gittin, the only American to win a D1 Class Drift Event two times was on hand with his Falken Tire, Monster Energy, and Ford Racing Mustang signing autographs. The meet-n-greet ended at 4:00 PM, providing the participants with the choice of an evening at the beach or the opportunity to see, at a special Mustang Week discount, the Broadway show, Le Grand Cirque Adrenaline at the beautiful Palace Theatre.
On Wednesday the action moved to Myrtle Beach Speedway, a facility that hosts modified stock car races and other events. At the speedway Mustang Week participants enjoyed testing their skills in an autocross and later a burnout contest. Over 265 Mustangs and 1,800 spectators enjoyed the action at Myrtle Beach Speedway that included Vaughn Gittin putting on quite a drift show in his Mustang.
One of the many enjoyable things about Mustang Week is the fact that enthusiasts get the opportunity to drive their Mustangs. On Thursday all roads let to Darlington Dragway, a pleasant hour or so drive from the beach. The facility is perfect for this type of event and is reminiscent of drag racing facilities of the 1960s; it is well kept, easy to navigate and has a good drag strip. Over 200 owners had a blast testing their Mustangs and Shelbys. It was a very pleasant evening of drag racing.
The car show was sold out as people registered online months before the event. Whatever Mustang is your favorite, there is a great chance you will see it at the Mustang Week car show. Once again, the talented and super friendly Mustang Week staff makes the car show a fun event for participants and spectators alike. The Hooters restaurant located right adjacent to the show is great place for lunch. The Myrtle Beach Mall also offers a great place to shop, eat and relax next to the car show. The show featured 600 Mustangs with another 2,600 in the outlying parking lot.
The week long event concluded on Saturday with a cruise-in from noon to 6:00, which featured the car show award ceremony at 3:00.
This was my first Mustang Week it will not be my last. Next year's dates are July 15-20, 2013. It is a week no Mustang enthusiast should miss.
Mustang Week attracts Mustangs of every vintage, pictured here are three generations of a 2004 Cobra, 2013 GT500 flanked by a 2008 Shelby GT500.
Many Boss 302 and Mustang GT participants enjoyed the action at Darlington Dragway.

A Fox Body and current Mustang GT prepare to run the 1320. There were a large number of Fox Body Mustangs participating in all the Mustang Week activities.
Fastlane Motorsports, one of the many Mustang Week sponsors brought their wicked, turbocharged Mustang with a trick carbon fiber look paint scheme. It is a nine second Mustang.
This well turned out, heavily modified Fox Body turned low 11 second quarter mile times.
This beautiful 1971 Mustang was extremely well detailed and featured a built 429cid engine.

The author's 2012 Mustang GT is pictured in the MRT Performance display after driving 863 miles to Mustang Week from South Florida.
An outstanding example of the very popular Mustang Fox Body was one of many at Mustang Week. The attention to detail is in every area of this Mustang is first class.
Many companies installed parts during the Mustang car show, here Scott Hoag (L) MRT Performance CEO and MRT Technician, Joshua Marchyok, install an MRT front splitter on a 2012 Boss 302.
This wildly modified Mustang seems ready for just about any encounter that it might find itself in.
The Ford Motor Company Mustang exhibit featured a Mustang an interactive display where enthusiasts could build their own 2013 Mustang with all the Ford options and accessories.
Mustangers in line to sign up for a cool Mustang tee shirt at the Ford exhibit.
The Lethal Performance booth was a popular place with these lovely ladies signing posters during the car show.
The Ridemakerz remote control display was popular with Mustang enthusiasts of all ages.
This beautiful 1969 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1 was ordered with the very rare shaker hood scoop delete option.
One of the outstanding Mustang displays was Paul Nemoga's 2008 GT and trailer. The trailer idea occurred when Paul found a 2010 Mustang body-in white and asked his friend Kirk Mowry if he could cut the car in half and make a trailer. Kirk did a fantastic job.
The Ford Racing display was one of three Ford Motor Company sent to Mustang Week and featured the latest Ford Racing Performance Parts.
The overhead view of the Mustang Week car show with all the Mustangs in the middle with sponsors and exhibitors set on the perimeter of the event.

MACLEAN, STEVE/MeRCy: Future(s)
This CD of songs, grittily arranged and produced is noticeably more straight-ahead than ReR�s usual releases though it sits comfortably within the broad range of Steve�s tirelessly experimental output. This is a project with a long history: Steve and his main collaborator Todd Dadaleares have been writing, recording and performing together for longer than MeRCy�s 20+ year existence and David Fields (drums) and Tim Inman (keyboards) are also long servers. New, for this phase of recordings and concerts, is 5 string bassist Greg Goodwin who steps into the previous incumbent, Mark Dickey�s, shoes. MacLean scores the music, in scary detail, and Dadaleares supplies the words. This is America, so they all have day jobs: MacLean as professor of music technology and performance at Berklee, Dadaleares in health robotics, Inman as a computer consultant and Fields in industrial art. You can listen to samples on the download site, so I�ll not attempt any further to describe what they do, just give it a listen.
Only available at this price as part of the ReR Sale Offer (minimum) 4 titles)

FileCloud Download Links:
Please Download all the Parts Provided below. After Downloading all Parts, Only Extract the Part 01 and this will automatically extract the full game. Follow the Installation Video provided below to Install the Game without any error after successful extraction.
Free Download Games from the links provided below, if your GPU & CPU support the game. For that compare the system requirements and then download the game. These are not those free online math games, action games, barbie game or else which don't require a latest technology/hardware to run. If you can't run this game try some other game which you can run but first compare the system requirements.
The File you requested is just one click away. The Download link is provided below. We have tested the game on Windows 7/10. We are also in process of preparing video guide for this game. We have tested all the PC games available on the website. This enables us to verify that whether games will work on all machines or not. Because sometimes games work for some specs where it is failed to start for other machines. We also test it on Nvidia cards and AMD Card Separately and also with built in Intel cards.
Testing on Multiple GPU will help us to identify that how well the game will work.
We also test it across multiple Windows Operating System. Starting from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10 X64. Just to add here that Windows 7 64 bit is still most compatible with all games. This result is derived from our own experiences of testing thousands of games. So, we will highly recommend Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit to our gamers community. So that their games are always error free.
Please make sure that you have installed all latest updates. Because some newest files are dependent on Windows Updates fixes as well. Secondly please note that 32-bit x86 machines are not good for heavy games. Because they only support 4GB of RAM. As the technology has improved a lot most of the recent games require upto 8GB recommended RAM. Therefore, please always install x64 version of Windows. So that you can upgrade RAM Later if you want. We recommend 8GB RAM and Windows 7 x64 for good experience.
I recommend you uninstall any unwanted or cheap software that is useless. You guys just need some computer software that help you to download and install free games like Internet Download Manager, UltraISO, IDM chrome extension and a browser. These software are free to download on the internet no need to buy software's
As soon as the detailed video tutorial is ready we will post it on RihnoGames. So that you can follow the steps if you are not sure about how to install this game. Because most of latest games have difficult steps now a days and new users are not able to install successfully. Moreover, please make sure all pre requisites are installed in advanced like DirectX and VC++ packages. Because they are required by almost every game now a days. This is not the platform where you can play games online free, from here you can get all PC Games. If you can't find one please post a request on the RihnoGames
We are looking forward for your helpful suggestions to improve our site. Please give us a feedback and if you think our website is perfect share it with your community!

Some Sci-Fi Help
If someone comes up with a term I like, I'll give them credit and some other goodies to show my appreciation.
Thanks in advance.
108 comments:
One I like to use.. not sure if I heard it somewhere:ReplyDelete
I sat here in thought for a few minutes and the best I could come up with is Mind-Walker.ReplyDelete
Psipol (sigh-pole). Combines the Greek words for mind (psyche) and warrior (polemistis). Has the added benefit of sounding like "disciple" if you wanted to make them a quasi-religious orderReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 10, 2010 at 11:55 AM
- JannissaryReplyDelete
- Psychonaut
- Psychologist (stolen from Christopher Moeller's comic, Iron Empires)
- Espertan, 'Spertan (esper-Spartan)
paras (paracorps?), geists, synners, axons, exos, neuros, tespers, teeks and peeksReplyDelete
Here's a list, some are stolen from other games and novels, but I think that they are evocative.ReplyDelete
Mind Benders
Reality Deviants
Big Brothers
Third Eye
Special Services
The Lobotomies
Sixth Estate
Enhanced Agents
Brain Weasels
Cognitive Dissonance

I suppose if airborne troops attack from the sky then something like "psiborne" might fit.ReplyDelete
"Esperian?" (And I do like "Psipol.")ReplyDelete
When I brainstorm, it's always cloudy with a 90% chance of silly.
Well after some thought & a perusal of the old thesaurus all I could come up with was a riff on adversary: EsperaryReplyDelete
The Mind KnightsReplyDelete
I like Cerebronauts, as I've long been a fan of the -nauts suffix (in fact, I had it as a suggestion, but in the time it took me to type it up and sign in, I saw Dr. Burton's post!). Alternatives:ReplyDelete
Or, with a very different feel:
Is there a reason you don't just go with "esper"?ReplyDelete
The best I'm coming up with is "Espari" (plays off Arabic/African "askari", local soldier for colonial power), or "Espnatz" (a bit like "spetsnaz", Russian special forces).ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 10, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Psion maybe? It's the name of a computer company among other things but it's short and reasonably familiar. There's also ESPecial Forces but that doesn't roll of the tongue.ReplyDelete
Psipher/Psypher - as in "cipher"ReplyDelete
Hey James, since it's related to TS, I was finding a few inspiring things in the Esperanto dictionary: mensa (mental), menso (mind), cerbo (brain), psika (psychic), kognitiva... give it a try: http://www.dicts.info/dictionary.php?l1=english&l2=esperantoReplyDelete
Psi-ranger, psi-agent, psi-soldier, psi-specialist, collectively known as psi-forces.
Mentalist, Dreamwarrior, Psi-knight (someone already said Mind Knight), Dream Thief, Mind-cracker.
Good luck!
- AnonymousOctober 10, 2010 at 1:22 PM
from an enemies perspective- "those bloody MindF**ers"ReplyDelete
Space cop? Psi cop? Space Knight? Green Lantern?ReplyDelete
Isn't part of the flavor of a Lensman/Jedi/Green Lantern/Space Knights idea that what they are is at least partially defined by the order they belong to? They're not just generic operatives with psi-powers - they've been chosen by fate/destiny/genetics/psychological disorder/whatever to be members of an elite corps of galactic protectors. They're not just soldiers or guards or beat cops, they're knights or samurai or special forces elite soldiers.
I used the term "Jankers" for psi operatives in a Traveler campaign once.ReplyDelete
Jankers is a British military term for minor official trouble, and in my campaign people in the military with psi talents were considered trouble and shuffled around to be as far as possible from any political harm they could do to their superiors. They were forever "on jankers," so in time the name stuck. It made a great background for a team of travelers.
ExtraSensory Perception Extra Technology
Musketeer, Grenadier.
I was going to suggest "Esperdrille" as a reference to the American pilots in WWI, but then I realized it was a bit too close to a type of shoe...ReplyDelete
The Omega Knights.ReplyDelete
Why should P have all the fun?
Ed Green
One could always go with Vespers...has the "Esper" element, also the Roman god of evening, the planet Venus, religious services references, a Bond girl and a cocktail...hard to go wrong there.ReplyDelete
Psykers is commonly used in Warhammer40k. Drawing on that, I think there are a lot of terms from that game that could fill the roll: Adepts, Inquisitors, Pariahs, Harlequins, Reapers, Assassins, Mandrakes, Seers...
Mind DancersReplyDelete
Thought Police
Psipol (someone else suggested this, but my take is Psi + Interpol)
Middle English root word for "ghost", "host", and "guest"
as well as "poltergheist", "zeitgeist" and "gestapo" (sorry for the double post!)ReplyDelete
Social Security
If they are commando-types that rely on stealth and getting behind enemy lines then how about:ReplyDelete
Quiet Men
If they are a main battle unit that uses psionics for coordination on the battlefield:
Vanguard-soldier or just Vanguard
If they are wizard types that use psionics to mass effect or for interrogation or otherwise avoid direct contact with the enemy:
Psionic Adept/Psychic Adept
Mind master
("Ghost" and "Templar" should be credited to Cyber-Dave, creator of the Land Of Nod alternate setting for the Star Wars Saga Edition rules. Link: http://community.wizards.com/thelandofnod/wiki/The_Land_of_Nod_Campaign_Guide_(For_Star_Wars_Saga_Edition) )
Apologies to The Myth for using "Templar".ReplyDelete
What are we talking about? ;P
Noemancer (noh-eh-mancer)ReplyDelete
Noe/Noetic/Noema are all terms relating to thought, cognate with Nous or universal thought- mental processes seperate from sensation. Mancer derives from mantike or 'divination' and has been corrupted in popular usage to mean practicioner of an art. Technically, the suffix should be - ologist but mancer has a better ring to it. Of course, you could try it with some variations of nous: noueticologist, nousologist... but they seem to dry.
Esper is good but - all apologies to haruhi - doesnt really work in this context. It's a little too general; it describes too wide a range of abilities.
Hhhhmmm... what about Psi-stalker? I don't think thats been thrown into the ring. If they use cybernetics you could call them psiborgs.ReplyDelete
Thought of another. more generic term. The Elites, or perhaps the Psi-elites, the best of the best. Of course that doesn't really roll off the tongue.ReplyDelete
The new XO, sir. He's... well, from Esper Ops.ReplyDelete
Don't tell me we got another one of those Goat Starers in this unit. You remember what happened when the last one cracked?
Please, sir. Esper Ops. He'll know if we've called him anything else.
Fine, "Esper Ops." Back when I joined the Corps every Marine was a rifleman. Now... no need for a rifle when you can stare your enemy to death, is there? It's not my father's Corps.
No sir. He did rank Expert, sir.

Derived from the Greek word for "star", has "esper" embedded in it, used to refer to those who guard a treasure. Don't know how it fits your concept if they are all female though.
Brainstorming here:ReplyDelete
Espear (conflating esper and spear)
Psiswords (off sellswords)
Psiber Knights
Psibernetics (maybe a tech rather than a group)
and one malapropism: Esper de Corp...
Without knowing the intended tone, it's hard to pick generic group names, but perhaps something that doesn't evoke psionics directly like:

1st choice: Psimurai! ;)ReplyDelete
and their stealthy assassins: Psinjas!
Or, to break it down to its core
The Idmats!
...as in Id & somatic...
There are some good suggestions here, but from the original post it was mentioned that they are Special Operations soldiers with psychic powers, which implies a formal military group. Real life Special Operations groups (in the U.S. at least) have that term shortened to SpecOps. Thus, one train of logic suggests EsperOps (already mentioned), ESpecOps, and SperOps as they all have similarity to real life nomenclature. Alternatively, militaries love their acronyms, so an ESP Special Ops unit could be referred to as the ESO, which could be expanded to ESO Corps, or ESO Brigade, or something like that. Such soldiers might just be referred to as "Esos."ReplyDelete

Their unit called be called something like Sixth Corps, as in 'sixth sense'.ReplyDelete
Their nickname could be Goners, as in "I knew you were gonna say that." Or Noseys, or Toms as in peeping tom.ReplyDelete

I prefer the ESPer Ops mentioned before.
DESPerado (ESPerado?)
Espial (n. - The act of espying; notice; discovery. n. - One who espies; a spy; a scout.)
It might be confusing but I'd go with something simple and innocuous. For individuals with a psi predisposition and the ability to use it.ReplyDelete

For a sci-fi golden age feel, I'd have to go with Psi-Corps for the army division, with the same name used for individuals (pronounced "sycore").ReplyDelete

Alternately, why not Esperantists? You can play on the Esperantists by having them use Esperanto terms for rank and commands and such.

As 2011 comes to an end, there are 28 international open data platforms in the open government community. By the end of 2012, code from new "Data.gov-in-a-box" may help many more countries to stand up their own platforms. A partnership between the United States and India on open government has borne fruit: progress on making the open data platform Data.gov open source.
In a post this morning at the WhiteHouse.gov blog, federal CIO Steven VanRoekel (@StevenVDC) and federal CTO Aneesh Chopra (@AneeshChopra) explained more about how Data.gov is going global:
As part of a joint effort by the United States and India to build an open government platform, the U.S. team has deposited open source code — an important benchmark in developing the Open Government Platform that will enable governments around the world to stand up their own open government data sites.
The development is evidence that the U.S. and India are indeed still collaborating on open government together, despite India's withdrawal from the historic Open Government Partnership (OGP) that launched in September. Chopra and VanRoekel explicitly connected the move to open source Data.gov to the U.S. involvement in the Open Government Partnership today. While we'll need to see more code and adoption to draw substantive conclusions on the outcomes of this part of the plan, this is clearly progress.
The U.S. National Action Plan on Open Government, which represents the U.S. commitment to the OGP, included some details about this initiative two months ago, building upon a State Department fact sheet that was released in July. Back in August, representatives from India's National Informatics Center visited the United States for a week-long session of knowledge sharing with the U.S. Data.gov team, which is housed within the General Services Administration.
"The secretary of state and president have both spent time in India over the past 18 months," said VanRoekel in an interview today. "There was a lot of dialogue about the power of open data to shine light upon what's happening in the world."
The project, which was described then as "Data.gov-in-a-box," will include components of the Data.gov open data platform and the India.gov.in document portal. Now, the product is being called the "Open Government Platform" — not exactly creative, but quite descriptive and evocative of open government platforms that have been launched to date. The first collection of open source code, which describes a data management system, is now up on GitHub.
During the August meetings, "we agreed upon a set of things we would do around creating excellence around an open data platform," said VanRoekel. "We owned the first deliverable: a dataset management tool. That's the foundation of an open source data platform. It handles workflow, security and the check in of data — all of the work that goes around getting the state data needs to be in before it goes online. India owns the next phase: the presentation layer."
If the initiative bears fruit in 2012, as planned, the international open government data movement will have a new tool to apply toward open data platforms. That could be particularly relevant to countries in the developing world, given the limited resources available to many governments.
What's next for open government data in the United States has yet to be written. "The evolution of data.gov should be one that does things to connect to web services or an API key manager," said VanRoekel. "We need to track usage. We're going to double down on the things that are proving useful."
Drupal as an open government platform?
This Open Government Data platform looks set to be built upon Drupal 6, a choice that would further solidify the inroads that the open source content management system has made into government IT. As always, code and architecture choices will have consequences down the road.
"While I'm not sure Drupal is a good choice anymore for building data sites, it is key that open source is being used to disseminate open data," said Eric Gunderson, the founder of open source software firm Development Seed. "Using open source means we can all take ownership of the code and tune it to meet our exact needs. Even bad releases give us code to learn from."
Jeff Miccolis, a senior developer at Development Seed, concurred about how open the collaboration around the Data.gov code has been or will be going forward. "Releasing an application like this as open source on an open collaboration platform like Github is a great step," he said. "It still remains to be seen what the ongoing commitment to the project will be, and how collaboration will work. There is no history in the git repository they have on GitHub, no issues in the issue tracker, nor even an explicit license in the repository. These factors don't communicate anything about their future commitment to maintaining this newly minted open source project."
The White House is hoping to hear from more developers like Miccolis. "We're looking forward to getting feedback and improvements from the open source community," said VanRoekel. "How do we evolve the U.S. data.gov as it sits today?"
Open data impact
From where VanRoekel sits, investing in open source, open government and open data remain important to the administration. He said to me that the fact that he was hired was a "clear indication of the importance" of these issues in the White House. "It wasn't a coincidence that the launch of the Open Government Partnership coincided with my arrival," he said. "There's a lot of effort to meet the challenge of open government," according to VanRoekel. "The president has me and other people involved meeting every week, reporting on progress."
The open questions now, so to speak, are: Will other countries use it? And to what effect? Here in the U.S., there's already code sharing between cities. OpenChattanooga, an open data catalog in Tennessee, is using source code from OpenDataPhilly, an open government data platform built in Philadelphia by GIS software company Azavea. By the time "Data.gov in a box" is ready to be deployed, some cities, states and countries might have decided to use that code in the meantime.
There's good reason to be careful about celebrating the progress here. Open government analysts like Nathaniel Heller have raised concerns about the role of open data in the Open Government Partnership, specifically that:
… open data provides an easy way out for some governments to avoid the much harder, and likely more transformative, open government reforms that should probably be higher up on their lists. Instead of fetishizing open data portals for the sake of having open data portals, I'd rather see governments incorporating open data as a way to address more fundamental structural challenges around extractives (through maps and budget data), the political process (through real-time disclosure of campaign contributions), or budget priorities (through online publication of budget line-items).
Similarly, Greg Michener has made a case for getting the legal and regulatory "plumbing" for open government right in Brazil, not "boutique Gov 2.0" projects that graft technology onto flawed governance systems. Michener warned that emulating the government 2.0 initiatives of advanced countries, including open data initiatives:
… may be a premature strategy for emerging democracies. While advanced democracies are mostly tweaking and improving upon value-systems and infrastructure already in place, most countries within the OGP have only begun the adoption process.
Michener and Heller both raise bedrock issues for open government in Brazil and beyond that no technology solution in of itself will address. They're both right: Simply opening up data is not a replacement for a Constitution that enforces a rule of law, free and fair elections, an effective judiciary, decent schools, basic regulatory bodies or civil society, particularly if the data does not relate to meaningful aspects of society.
"Right now, the problem we are seeing is not so much the technology around how to open data but more around the culture internally of why people are opening data," agreed Gunderson. "We are just seeing a lot of bad data in-house and thus people wanting to stay closed. At some point a lot of organizations and government agencies need to come clean and say 'we have not been managing our decisions with good data for a long time'. We need more real projects to help make the OGP more concrete."
Heller and Michener speak for an important part of the open government community and surely articulate concerns that exist for many people, particularly for a "good government" constituency whose long term, quiet work on government transparency and accountability may not be receiving the same attention as shinier technology initiatives. The White House consultation on open government that I attended included considerable recognition of the complexities here.
It's worth noting that Heller called the products of open data initiatives "websites," including Kenya's new open government platform. He's not alone in doing so. To rehash an old but important principle, Gov 2.0 is not about "websites" or "portals" — it's about web services and the emerging global ecosystem of big data. In this context, Gov 2.0 isn't simply about setting up social media accounts, moving to grid computing or adopting open standards: it's about systems thinking, where open data is used both by, for and with the people. If you look at what the Department of Health and Human Services is trying to do to revolutionize healthcare with open government data in the United States, that approach may become a bit clearer. For that to happen, countries, states and cities have to stand up open government data platforms.
The examples of open government data being put to use that excite VanRoekel are, perhaps unsurprisingly, on the healthcare front. If you look at the healthcare community pages on Data.gov, "you see great examples of companies and providers meeting," he said, referencing two startups from a healthcare challenge that were acquired by larger providers as a result of their involvement in the open data event.
I'm cautiously optimistic about what this news means for the world, particularly for the further validation of open source in open government. With this step forward, the prospects for stimulating more economic activity, civic utility and accountability under a global open government partnership are now brighter.

- Evolution of mating systems and phenotypically plastic traits
- Evolution and maintenance of conditional reproductive tactics
- Causes and consequences of geographic variation in behavior
- Implications of ancestral plasticity
- Behavioral ecology
- Gasterosteid (stickleback) behavior
For undergraduate and graduate students interested in programs related to Animal Behavior, check out the ABS Guide to Programs in Animal Behavior
Study Species
There are a number of stickleback species (Family: Gasterosteidae), many named for their number of dorsal spines (threespine, fourspine, ninespine, fifteenspine!). I've spent the last few years working with threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) in British Columbia and Alaska, specifically studying population differences in reproductive behavior. Marine populations of threespines invaded freshwater environments in the holarctic region during the last glacial recession between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago. Depending on the type of aquatic habitat invaded, populations have come to differ in morphology and behavior. This is especially interesting because, not only does it tell us much about how environment affects morphology and behavior but, since the ancestral (marine) populations have changed little in the last 20,000 years, we can determine the directionality of behavior and morphological changes in the more derived, freshwater populations. What is especially interesting about these fish is that they have a very active social life. Male threespines build nests on the substrate and develop a nuptial coloration to attract females and signal territoriality to other males. When males spot a gravid female, they often perform a courtship dance and if the female is interested, she will enter the nest and leave a clutch of eggs for the male to fertilize. The male may do this dance until he collects clutches from several females. He then provides all parental care for the eggs, fanning oxygen over the eggs with his fins as they develop. Males in some populations are very territorial and actively defend their nests and fry from intruders.
Ancestral Plasticity and Conspicuous Courtship Behaviour
Conspicuousness of courtship depends on potential threats to the nest in some populations. If large foraging groups of stickleback Reaction norm of courtship intensity under field and laboratory conditions.are present in a population they may cannibalize the young in nests they encounter. Males in cannibalistic populations often utilize a less conspicuous courtship display and perform behaviors (diversionary displays) to distract groups away from a territory containing a nest and young. Comparisons of courtship intensity in populations with varying levels of cannibalism have shown that some populations are more plastic in their behavioral response than others. Males from populations in which some degree of cannibalism is present (anadromous and benthic) show an increase in courtship intensity when observed under laboratory conditions (where the threat of cannibalism is absent) as compared to observations under field conditions (where individuals experience foraging groups).
Ancestral Plasticity and Alternative Mating Tactics
My current research focuses on alternative male mating tactics — behaviors males use to obtain matings instead of (or in addition to) nesting and courtship behavior (See Oliveira et al. 2008 for review and synthesis regarding ARTs). Drab colored male threespines have been observed to sneak along the substrate, hiding behind objects and in vegetation, and attempt to rush into nests of courting males in order to fertilize eggs that are not their own. There are several factors proposed to elicit sneaking in individual males but of greater interest is the fact that there are some populations in the Pacific Sneaker male near shore at Big Lake, AlaskaNorthwest where sneaking occurs at high frequencies (Alaska) and other populations where sneaking has never been observed (British Columbia). Freshwater populations in this region are all derived from marine ancestors so it is plausible that ancestral plasticity in this behavior has influenced geographic variation in the propensity to sneak. There may be certain characteristics (genetic and/or environmental) specific to populations in which sneaking is absent. My current work involves:
Regional investigations of the conditional factors suggested to covary with sneaking behavior (sex ratio; inter-nest distances, visibility, etc.) Are any of these factors correlated with an in situ propensity to sneak both within and between regions (Alaska vs British Columbia)? Intra- and Interspecific comparisons of sneaker color variation and investigation of the adaptive significance of sneaking patterning. Is there low variability in sneaker coloration across populations? Are sneaking males utilizing crypsis or female mimicry? Laboratory-based comparisons of sneaking propensity with lab-reared individuals from sneaking and non-sneaking populations. Is there a genetic component underlying variation in sneaking propensity? Utilizing population and regional comparisons will allow me to understand:(1) the extent of genetic variation underlying the sneaking phenotype, (2) factors that elicit sneaking, and (3) the role of the ancestral state in influencing the regional pattern of sneaking behavior.
Other Research Projects
Fourspine Stickleback
Fourspine stickleback (Apeltes quadracus) are a marine species of stickleback that breed in vegetated, brackish waters. Their distribution ranges the eastern shoreline of North America from North Carolina to the St. Lawrence River. In areas where eelgrass and other estuarine plant species are becoming increasingly sparse, sightings of fourspines are progressively spotty, as they depend on vegetation for nestbuilding.
My interests in fourspines pertain to their mating behavior. Fourspines have been observed to utilize sneaking behavior to steal fertilizations. Along with several other stickleback species known to exhibit this behavior, it would be an interesting comparative analysis to examine tactic frequency, plasticity, coloration, and functionality of sneaking behavior across several groups of stickleback. My goal during the spring/summer 2007 was to collect wildcaught fourspines and induce sneaking behavior under laboratory conditions to determine the plausibility of conducting a comparison. Even with locality data obtained from the CT and MA DEP, it turned out to be extremely difficult to find fourspine breeding sites. After an entire summer of daily collection effort, only five potential sites were found and, of these, only two or three were amenable to frequent collection attempts. While fourspines maintained in the lab were healthy and of reproductive age, they were past breeding condition by the time they were collected. It is my goal to attempt these live collections again in the future to run behavioral trials similar to those I am conducting on threespines. Given the difficulty involved in finding fourspine breeding sites, it behooves me to increase collection effort at other sites, in the future, to determine whether fourspines are still present at some of the sites they were historically observed. According to homeowners in several areas, the aquatic vegetation along the shore has decreased drastically over the past decade. It would be especially interesting to continue monitoring the abundance of breeding individuals at the sites that are easily accessible.
Future Research Prospects
I hope to gain insight into both the external and internal factors that foster or limit the evolution of alternative mating tactics. Once the interplay between ancestral plasticity and the environmental contexts eliciting sneaking are understood, my long term goals are to evaluate hormonal correlates of sneaking behavior, and, ideally, transcriptional profiles of the brains of sneaking and non-sneaking males to understand the genetic and physiological underpinnings of sneaking behavior. Such research should be attainable given the availability of the genome sequence and genomic tools developed for this model system.

Missile defense systems against nuclear strikes are often considered "destabilizing" to the strategic balance." On May 3, Russia's RIA Novosti demonstrated this principle in action.
Russia does not exclude preemptive use of weapons against [NATO] missile defense systems in Europe but only as a last resort, the Russian General Staff said on Thursday at a missile defense conference in Moscow.
"The placement of new strike weapons in the south and northwest of Russia against [NATO] missile defense components … is one possible way of incapacitating the European missile defense infrastructure," Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Makarov said.
Taking into account the "destabilizing nature of the missile defense system… the decision on the pre-emptive use of available weapons will be made during an aggravation of the situation," he said.
Exactly why missile defense is destabilizing can be difficult to grasp (at least it was for me). After all, it only seems natural for a state to seek to protect itself against nuclear attack. Besides, how can a parry be considered as aggressive as a thrust? I once endeavored to explain in a post.
Here's how it works. A state — Russia again — is considered vulnerable to a first, or initial, strike by the United States, during the course of which many of its surface (as opposed to those based in submarines, which are, of course, mobile) nuclear weapons would be wiped out. (This argument requires a suspension of belief that Russia would refrain from launching a counterattack on warning, that is, while the U.S. missiles were in the air, instead of waiting until they struck — still the only sure-fire method of verifying a nuclear attack.)
Russia's retaliatory force would be further diminished if much of it was destroyed while in the air by U.S. missile defense. (This requires a suspension of belief that the day when missile defense is that effective will ever come). The crux of this theory is that since Russia knows that under this arrangement it's going to lose missiles both on the ground and in the air it's motivated to build more to compensate. (Why Russian missile defense isn't considered destabilizing to America's "deterrent" is a question seldom, if ever, raised.)
More from the RIA Novosti article:
"By 2018-2020 – that is the third and fourth phases of the deployment of the Euro-missile defense in Europe – the continent should have enough [NATO] anti-missile defense to be able to intercept part of Russia's intercontinental ballistic missiles, and submarine launched ballistic missiles," Patrushev said at an international conference on Euro-missile defense in Moscow.
At the Christian Science Monitor, Yousaff Butt backed this up.
The problem with European missile defense is that while it's designed to counter Iran, the faster interceptors due to come online in 2018 will also be able to engage Russian warheads, upsetting this all-important perception of parity.
Though what Butt probably meant by "designed to counter Iran" was in the highly unlikely event that Iran develops missiles that could reach Europe, not to mention the nuclear weapons that would be affixed to them as warheads. Meanwhile RIA Novosti reported that NATO's Deputy General Secretary Alexander Vershbow said:
"In fact, we have no desire at all to disturb global strategic stability," told the conference. "Quite the contrary: NATO missile defense will be capable of intercepting only a small number of relatively unsophisticated ballistic missiles. It does not have the capability to neutralize Russian deterrence."
Ivan Oelrich explained in the January/February issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (behind a pay wall)
Almost all independent US analysts—that is, those outside the government and the defense industry—are deeply skeptical of the feasibility of missile defenses, especially against a technically sophisticated country like Russia. To these skeptics, therefore, Russia's position seems frustratingly irrational: Russia is letting the potential for mutually beneficial arrangements be undermined by the USA's politically motivated pursuit of a system that will never work.
But Patrushev said:
"Our experts say other targets, which could require serious missile defense against it, do not really exist."
The United States and NATO may act like Russia is being a drama queen about missile defense, but it knows very well that the system will never be used against Iran. Even if that were its intention, it would be years before it's necessary to defend Europe against Iran — years of NATO missile-defense deployment acting as a burr in Russia's saddle as well as an ongoing obstacle to disarmament. Not only is missile defense destabilizing, it's an endless fund of misinformation between the United States and Russia.

Materials & Quantities Needed
Your purchased beading tutorial will include a detailed materials list of everything you'll need to make this project, including quantities and, in most cases, color information (see more about Bead Color Information below).
Substituting with Different Beads or Beading Materials
Many of our designs can be made using comparable beading materials. For example, if our pattern calls for 4mm round pearls, in most cases, you can use different types of 4mm round beads instead (such as 4mm round fire polished beads). Please note: If the pattern is for a bead weaving (or stitched) project, it's typically not recommended to use different sizes of beads than those recommended, as the original design may not work out as intended. You may also substitute recommended materials with your preferred brand (for example using Nymo vs. FireLine thread) unless otherwise noted for a specific reason. For example, if we specifically recommend using TOHO seed beads with a particular project, the project may not work out as well if you substitute and use Delica seed beads instead (which differ in shape).
Bead Color Information
We provide detailed information about the bead colors used for each of the color samples shown above on the Bead Legend / Color Key (or similarly named page) in your purchased pattern. If the tutorial you purchased does not include detailed color information for a particular color sample we used, we apologize (a few of our earliest patterns did not include this information and we no longer have those beads to reference, or they were discontinued by the manufacturer). If this is the case, please feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to provide you with general color descriptions. Be sure to let us know which particular color sample you're most interested in.

It takes between 1 and 5 days to get your order ready for dispatch, depending on how many other orders I have. I try to send everything as soon as possible. Once dispatched, it's difficult to say how quickly your order will be delivered. Sometimes it takes only a couple of days, and sometimes it takes a couple of weeks.
All orders are sent out as Standard without Tracking. However, when you're in Checkout you can opt for Tracked shipping, which costs a bit more.
Normally, orders are delivered within 2 weeks. Sometimes, however, they take a little longer. Unfortunately, I have no control over postal services (I wish I did!). I send out orders as soon as possible, but after that it's up to the postal services to deliver as quickly as possible. I can only start looking for a solution when your order still hasn't arrived after 6 weeks.
No, all fabrics are sold in increments of 10 cm, unless otherwise stated. In the shopping cart a quantity of 1 = 10 cm. A quantity of 2 = 20 cm. A quantity of 10 = 1 meter and so on. When ordering more than 10 cm you'll get one continuous piece.
Because many people want to make a pair of shorts for their baby, or a headband, or scrunchies, so they need only very little fabric.

Investors in VEREIT Inc (Symbol: VER) saw new options become available today, for the January 2016 expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the VER options chain for the new January 2016 contracts and identified the following call contract of particular interest.
The call contract at the $8.50 strike price has a current bid of 5 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of VER stock at the current price level of $8.18/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $8.50. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 4.52% if the stock gets called away at the January 2016 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if VER shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for VEREIT Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing VER's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $8.50 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $8.50 strike represents an approximate 4% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 63%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract , Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.61% boost of extra return to the investor, or 4.46% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost .
The implied volatility in the call contract example above is 32%. Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $8.18) to be 30%.
