A Gorgeous Walk Along the Coast
Trip Start
Dec 01, 2009
Trip End
Jan 23, 2010
Where I stayed
Meddy's Beach & Te Pukatea
On an almost empty tank and only a few minutes before our water taxi was scheduled to arrive, we pulled into the estuarine town of Marahau. It was low tide, so a tractor towed our water taxi out over hundreds of meters of sand and into the water, a bit of a bizarre launch. I'm always pleasantly surprised when a water taxi captain decides not only to get to get us from point A to point B, but also to provide a little history of the area and stop to let the passengers watch a seal colony on a tiny island from a safe distance. It was an exhilarating ride with the ocean wind blowing over us.
We took off our shoes and climbed over the edge of the boat into clear, shin-deep water on the side of Awaroa Bay...an idyllic place. In a minute, the sound of the boat was gone, and we were standing there, putting on our shoes in a tropical beach paradise.
A short distance onto the trail, we passed the Awaroa Lodge--to us, an unusual sight along a backpacker trail. There was a posh looking outdoor restaurant adjacent to a spot where folks "tramping" the track could have a suite for the night (for a mere NZ$495). Alongside the lodge was a fantastic organic garden, another unusual but pleasant surprise. A final surprise: a trailside flush toilet inside what looked like a port-a-jon. These novelties aside, we were on the trail and familiarizing ourselves with the native bush, dominated by Kanuka trees in blossom, Manuka, smaller, and also in bloom, and ever-present varieties of ferns at our knees, the occasional miniature orchid, and punctuating the vegetation here and there, the a red-flowered pohutukawa tree or tall spike of a flax plant sending its flowers to the sky.
It was warm and sunny, a nice treat since rather cool early summer has been hovering over New Zealand before. And soon we stepped over a ridge and were looking down on a bay of perfect shades of turquoise and aquamarine. The water was cool but not cold as we stepped through an ankle deep iron-bottomed stream and onto the golden sand of the Able Tasman Track at Onetahuti Bay. We followed the beach from one end to the other, stopping for a lunch of fresh fruit, nuts and cheeses, then back into the bush for a while, only to look down onto the next brilliant beach, Bark Bay. Tide had moved in, preventing the low-tide crossing of the beach, which was a gift to us. We walked the longer, high-tide route, passing Waterfall Creek where a bridge took us over the creek looking directly up at the falls. Toward the ocean, the back bay was filling with the fresh and salt waters, clean and clear, catching reflections of the sky.
We continued beyond Bark Bay to a small and quiet inlet, Medlands Beach, big enough for a handful of tents, sheltered from stronger winds, but with views to the far side of Bark Bay. We met a couple of interesting characters, then cooked up some noodles & peanut sauce with some fresh veggies, sat on the sand in the last late rays of the sun, and crawled into our tent just as darkness enveloped the bay.
Another beautiful day greeted us the next morning, perfect for a walk in paradise. It was a beautiful balance of being startled again and again by unbelievably brilliant waters and coarse golden sand, then walking into the cool, diverse forest. Our eyes were constantly tantalized by new sights. Again, we came to a large bay, Torrent Bay, and took the high-tide trail. This took us to a side-trail 10-minutes off the main track to Cleopatra's pool, a clear and sheltered spot, and a natural playground. Just as the main drop of the falls poured over and into a couple of boulders, it was diverted into a rock funnel about 5 or 6m long, covered in soft green moss, and just wide enough to make a perfect slide. Mark was quick to discover the potential and take a few runs before others caught on and followed, with lots of hooting and laughter. It was one of those perfect moments in life, where nothing else existed but cool water, warm sun, gentle breezes, and laughter.
Further on, we walked up the steepest ridge of the trail, and looked down on Anchorage Bay, a place of shallow waters where the deeper blue pales first to aqua, then to no color at all. We paused for a bit to admire some fantastic clouds, and again to watch a momma duck herd her fuzzy ducklings up a creek. Then we walked over a short ridge, and down to a perfect little cove, Te Pukatea. The beach was crescent shaped and with striped golden sand. On one end there were fantastically fractured granite boulders, perfect for us to continue being big kids for a while. We ate a good pasta dinner and went for a Christmas Eve sunset hike to a point beyond the cove called Pitt Head.
We walked through a kanuka forest with ferns dominating the understory, a rather magical scene. At the peninsular point we could see clear across the Tasman Bay to the Malborough Sound on the far side. The evening light was casting gold on the rocky bluffs below us, and softening edges in the distance. We were somehow sheltered from the strong breezes we'd experienced on other coastal points, and sat watching sea birds soar on the wind, laughing together. Walking back, we passed a solitary tree amidst the Kanuka, and dubbed it a Christmas tree.
Christmas morning was sunny and cheerful, just asking to be saluted with sand between the toes! We walked once more to a lookout where we could gaze down over the clear crescent bay.
The final day of our fantastic tramp was spent deeply breathing in the moist air, letting our eyes stop on new and unique, or now familiar specimens of New Zealand's botanical treasures. We played in the sand at Akersten Beach, a quite little spot where mussels were still abundant on the rocks (they are harvested in some places, protected in others). We found a place to soak up some sun, then go for a dip at Coquille Beach. And continuing past more views that would make most anyone take pause, we eventually reached the wide estuary of Marahau and the end of the trail.
Back at our hostel, we had a nice warm shower (Mark) and bath in a slipper tub (Wynne), then fixed up a great Christmas dinner of a beautiful fresh salad (including some of Ruby's garden greens & herbs), and some pasta with sage picked from the hostel's herb garden, sauteed pumpkin, and gorgonzola cheese, and finished off with a good NZ syrah, which we toasted to other holiday makers with their champagne and Scottish-style Christmas dinner.
The next day, we got on Skype to wish Mom & Lissa a very Merry Christmas and see their smiling faces. Aside from missing loved ones back home, we couldn't have asked for a better Christmas.
Wishing you all peace and beauty...

City Ballet's The Nutcracker
2 tickets
Section D (Side Mezzanine)
How was your experience?
The Spreckels Theater is such a beautiful and intimate setting, and the production is wonderful--dancing, costumes, set and live orchestra. My only caution is that my preschool grandchildren did well except for the mice who they found scary. To me the costuming made them appear to be creatures from Avatar or ill-intended sprites from Shakespeare. So either I should have waited for the children to be older---or I wouldn't mind more appealing mouse costumes!

Recently there has been a fair amount of online discussion about our editorial standards. I wanted to take this opportunity to address some of the points being made and respond to some of the questions being raised.
Let me start out by saying this: Our ultimate goal is to provide top-notch service and ensure our customer's news releases get distributed as far and widely as possible.
Now that I've put that out there, I'll go into a more in-depth explanation of how this happens and what it means for our editorial guidelines.
Currently, we are at a point where newswires like PRWeb are multi-faceted and aim to accomplish a number of things. Some of the major goals of press releases these days include:
- Communicate to journalists and media outlets (AP, media databases);
- Communicate to consumers (through places like Google and Yahoo!);
- SEO / drive Web site traffic;
- Provide content for journalists and other influencers;
Different newswire services place emphasis on accomplishing different goals but I don't want to dwell on the competitive differences. One of our main focuses at PRWeb is on direct-to-consumer communications and one of the ways this happens is by getting our customer's news releases to other high traffic news sites like Google and Yahoo! News.
Google has one set of recommendations for what they will or will not index. Yahoo! has another set of guidelines, and so on and so forth. Our editorial standards therefore have to strike a balance between providing our customers with the flexibility to use their creativity and talent in writing press releases; and making sure that they fit into the guidelines of what our partners recommend so we can deliver on our commitment to provide them with widespread distribution.
In addition, we also need to meet the needs and standards of bloggers, journalists and other subscribers who receive the release directly via RSS, e-mail, Associated Press feed, etc. We are constantly engaged with these groups to find out how they want their news and information delivered and then tweaking our editorial standards accordingly.
Now, as PR and Marketing people know – we are in a fast moving space. A new breed of influencers are becoming prominent online, the mainstream media is evolving, audience habits are shifting, etc. So everyone who works in this space – from PR people to newswires – have to evolve accordingly. So when we talk about our editorial guidelines, we are talking about an evolving set of standards that are designed to meet a constantly changing environment.
We have been listening to the recent conversations and understand the growing need on the part of PR professionals to use a more informal voice in their press releases. We have weighed these needs against the impact on news release distribution and in this situation, have decided to loosen the restrictions and provide writers with the ability to publish more informally toned content.
At the end of the day it's our commitment to place our customer's interests first and foremost and to help get their news releases distributed as broadly as possible. Our editorial standards are here to support this commitment.
To touch on some of the more specific points raised:
Lists or bullets
According to Google's Tips for Successful Crawling, "If the article body appears to consist of isolated sentences not grouped together into paragraphs, we won't be able to crawl it. Try formatting your articles into text paragraphs of a few sentences each." Several of our news releases that have been primarily composed of bullet lists have not gotten indexed in Google News. This is an ongoing challenge that we (and others) are working on. Ultimately we recommend not using bullet lists if you want to get into Google News but it will be up to you to decide.
Use of first or second person
Traditionally we have attempted to place limitations on the use of first or second person to ensure greater objectivity and increased media/journalist pick-up based on our research into how to most effectively reach the media. Clearly, blogging and other forms of online production are having an impact on the tone of news and we are in the process of evolving our standards accordingly.
Paying more to fix a release
We have never told customers they have to pay more to fix a press release that they have submitted.
Role of editors
Our editors are not sales representatives and do not work on commission. They are focused on reviewing news releases and providing customer service.
AP / Journalistic perspective on PRWeb
We have a partnership with the Associated Press to distribute press releases directly to leading media outlets within the AP network via the AP Datafeatures service. Any claims that we (or any other newswires) are "release spam" is false. In addition to the AP, we have had over thirty thousands journalists opt-in to receive our news releases and most journalists regularly use the major newswires as a top resource.
Volume of reads
It has been suggested that we falsely claim that an average press release is read by 100,000+ people. Many of our press release receive this many "impressions" (times the news release title appears in various places online we can track) but if you check your analytics, you will see that the actual reads (times someone clicks-through to access the full content of the release) of the news release is a fraction of this number.
Click thumbnail to view a screen shot of our analytics
Traffic of major newswire sites
It has been suggested that the traffic on our Web site and the Web sites for the other major newswire services has plummeted over the past two years. If you look at the picture over a broader time span (the graph is over the past five years) you will see that this "decline" is part of a much larger trend that has impacted more than just newswire sites. For instance, you can see from the following graph it has also impacted sites like Washingtonpost.com.
Shifts in search engine algorithms are accountable for a great deal of the shifting traffic patterns you see. We are constantly examining these trends and making enhancements to ensure that we continue to be a tier-1 Web site. Every month, we continue to get millions of visitors to our Web site, reading our customer's news releases and that hasn't changed and it won't.
At any rate, I hope this has provided a useful resource for some of you and has clarified some of the points that have been raised. We consider the blog comments/critiques on our editorial services to be a valuable source of input and we look forward to continuing the conversation with you guys. Additionally, if there are any issues with our editorial standards we are always happy to field your concerns via our help desk.

PETA's efforts to sway public opinion to "their" side of thinking over the years would be humorous if it wasn't just so downright pathetic. Among some of their tactics are violent attacks, throwing of fake blood on innocent victims and the appearances of naked young women painted up like endangered cats and herded in cages. Nude protesters (the protesters were nude, not protesting nudity) have run through the streets to shine a spotlight on their opposition to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Then of course is the famous, yet pointless "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ad campaign and another banned ad campaign where scantily clad women were getting hot and heavy with their…um…vegetables. The list of stupidity goes on and on, but hey, let's face it, their over-the-top tactics go so far beyond the pale that they have probably won hunting, as well as the meat and fur industries, more supporters than they've turned away.
But for the over-achieving sportsman not content with that situation, here are eight ways to turn PETA's efforts bassackwards and use their tactics against them.

In molecular biology, the CAS/CSE protein family is a family of proteins which includes mammalian cellular apoptosis susceptibility (CAS) proteins and yeast chromosome-segregation protein, CSE1.[1] CAS is involved in both cellular apoptosis and proliferation.[2][3] Apoptosis is inhibited in CAS-depleted cells, while the expression of CAS correlates to the degree of cellular proliferation. Like CSE1, it is essential for the mitotic checkpoint in the cell cycle (CAS depletion blocks the cell in the G2 phase), and has been shown to be associated with the microtubule network and the mitotic spindle,[3] as is the protein MEK, which is thought to regulate the intracellular localization (predominantly nuclear vs. predominantly cytosolic) of CAS. In the nucleus, CAS acts as a nuclear transport factor in the importin pathway.[4] The importin pathway mediates the nuclear transport of several proteins that are necessary for mitosis and further progression. CAS is therefore thought to affect the cell cycle through its effect on the nuclear transport of these proteins.[5] Since apoptosis also requires the nuclear import of several proteins (such as P53 and transcription factors), it has been suggested that CAS also enables apoptosis by facilitating the nuclear import of at least a subset of these essential proteins.[6]
The CAS/CSE family of proteins consist of two domains. An N-terminal Cse1 domain, which contains HEAT repeats, and a C-terminal domain.[7]

InterPro entry IPR013713
The exchange of macromolecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm takes place through nuclear pore complexes within the nuclear membrane. Active transport of large molecules through these pore complexes require carrier proteins, called karyopherins (importins and exportins), which shuttle between the two compartments.
This domain is found in exportin Cse1 (also known as importin-alpha re-exporter). Exportin Cse1 mediates nuclear transport of importin-alpha back into the cytosol, where importin-alpha functions as a transporter of proteins carrying nuclear localisation signals (NLS) from the cytoplasm into the nucleus [PUBMED:15602554, PUBMED:15866177, PUBMED:17170104]. This domain contains HEAT repeats.

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the Cse1 domain has been found. There are 3 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.

But when a similar situation arose two innings later, the center fielder decided to take the cautious approach and cruise into the history books.
Silverio went 5-for-7 with a homer, two triples, a double and a single to complete the Southern League's second cycle in less than two weeks, but the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts fell to the Carolina Mudcats, 12-11, in 12 innings Thursday.
"It feels good. That was my best-ever game," he said. "But we played a five-hour game and we didn't win. I feel bad because we lost after we came back and tied it three times, but I'm happy that I had a good game."
The 24-year-old native of the Dominican Republic led off the game with an opposite-field triple, and he pulled a solo homer down the left-field line in the third. After grounding out in the fourth and striking out to end the sixth, Silverio singled and scored in his fifth at-bat.
He came to the plate in the ninth representing the tying run with the Lookouts trailing, 11-8, with two on and one out, but he never considered halting at second base after driving a 1-1 breaking ball between the outfielders in center and right.
"If I had stayed on second base I would have had a cycle, but I was thinking about my team," he explained. "I didn't want to look bad for staying at second base with the ball still rolling in the outfield."
With the game in extra innings, Silverio got another chance at his first cycle when he stepped into the batter's box with Elian Herrera -- the potential winning run -- on first base. After twice failing to drop down a sacrifice bunt, Silverio went into protective mode and slapped a double down the left-field line. With Herrera being held at third base, he had no other choice but to go into second standing up.
"I hit another breaking ball over the third baseman's head and I thought, 'This time I will stay at second base,'" said Silverio, signed by the Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent in 2003. "I knew as soon as I hit it that it was a ball to the wall."
Jake Lemmerman was intentionally walked to load the bases, but Hynick worked out of the jam to preserve the game. Alex Castellanos grounded out to shortstop Didi Gregorius, who got the force at home, and Allen Webster hit into an inning-ending 5-2-3 double play.
Carolina's Neftali Soto tripled and scored the eventual winning run on Miguel Rojas' sacrifice fly in the top of the 12th. Scott Van Slyke was thrown out at home trying to score from third base on a wild-pitch strikeout in the bottom of the inning, and Silverio was stranded on deck when Chattanooga's Herrera made the final out of the game.
The outing raised Silverio's batting average to .298. He has 33 doubles, 14 homers and a league-leading 14 triples in 114 Southern League games. He ranks first in the league in extra-base hits and total bases (235) and fifth in runs scored (74).

This is to announce a new requirement for national and local federations applying to participate in the 2003 Combined Federal Campaign.
Effective for the 2003 application season, all federations, nationally and locally, must include as part of their CFC application details regarding member dues and/or service fee arrangements that may result in a withholding of a percentage of contributions beyond what is claimed in the IRS Form 990 or reported in the official CFC brochure. In addition, all federations must include this information as part of the annual report they make available to the public. The CFC application has been revised to accommodate this new provision.
Previous federation audits conducted by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) have found that federations may deduct numerous fees before a member charity receives the contribution. In response to this finding and the OIG's recommendation, the official CFC brochure was revised this year to add a statement explaining that federations may charge member dues and/or other administrative fees not reflected in the administrative and fundraising rate that appears in the 25-word description.
The role of federations in workplace fundraising is to provide wider access to charities to employee contributions and to provide marketing and other services, at a cost to charities. While these transactions are part of an agreement between the charity and the federation, Federal employees must be provided complete information regarding the actual percentage of their contribution that goes to the charitable organizations they designate. This will ensure total transparency in the conduct of campaign practices.
I look forward to your continued cooperation as we work to sustain the high standards of the Combined Federal Campaign.

SRD:Empower Spell-Like Ability
this wiki
This material is published under the OGL |
Empower Spell-Like Ability [General]Edit
Spell-like ability at caster level 6th or higher.
Choose one of the creature's spell-like abilities, subject to the restrictions below. The creature can use that ability as an empowered spell-like ability three times per day (or less, if the ability is normally usable only once or twice per day).
When a creature uses an empowered spell-like ability, all variable, numeric effects of the spell-like ability are increased by one half. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected. Spell-like abilities without random variables are not affected.
The creature can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to half its caster level (round down) –2. For a summary, see the table below.
This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, the creature can apply it to a different one of its spell-like abilities.
Creatures with access to psi-like abilities can use this feat. This feat can be used only on psi-like abilities that do not have increased effects due to augmentation. Furthermore, the creature can empower only a psi-like ability with a level less than or equal to half its manifester level (round down) minus 2.
Spell Level | Caster Level to Empower |

The Effects of Expectation on Natural and Drug -Induced Rewards
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- Environmental cues frequently induce expectancies in individuals that may strongly influence the actual experience associated with the cue. This has both positive and negative consequences for behavior and decision making. For instance, when an addicted individual experiences cues associated with imminent drug taking, an expectancy of the coming experience is also formed and very likely has an effect on the subsequent experience of the drug.
- Researchers are interested in studying how the brain responds to these kinds of environmental cues and expectancies in order to learn more about addiction and craving in substance-abusing individuals.
- To compare the response to rewards (both drug-related and non-drug-related) in cocaine users and non-using individuals.
- To study the effect of expectation on reward-related (both drug-induced and non-drug-induced) responses and brain activity in cocaine users and non-using individuals.
-Individuals between 18 and 45 years of age who are regular cocaine users but otherwise healthy, or healthy individuals who are not cocaine users.
- This study involves two experiments. Participants will be assigned to one or both experiments.
- Participants must not use any drugs for at least 3 days before the visit, may not consume alcohol for 24 hours before the visit, and may not consume caffeinated beverages for 12 hours before the visit. On the day of the visit, participants will provide both urine and breath samples to test for drug/alcohol use.
- Experiment 1: In the MRI scanner, participants will respond to questions and images on a screen, and will receive small amounts of flavored liquid (chocolate or cherry) through a tube in the mouth.
- Experiment 2: In the MRI scanner, participants will respond to questions and images on a screen, and will receive injections of liquid (saline solution or a drug that provides a high similar to cocaine) through an intravenous line. Participants in this experiment will return for follow-up visits and provide urine samples for further study.
- The specific assignment (to Experiment 1 or Experiment 2 or both experiments) will determine the number of study days and follow-up visits required.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Other |
Official Title: | The Effects of Expectation on Natural and Drug -Induced Rewards |
- To compare the response to rewards (drug and non-drug related) in cocaine dependent and non- dependent individuals and study the effect of expectation on reward-related (both drug and non-drug induced) subjective responses and neuronal activity.
- To compare visual and olfactory cues as they relate to receipt of a non-drug reward. Olfactory cues follow a more direct path into the limbic system and thus, may alter reward system functioning differently than do visual cues.
Estimated Enrollment: | 128 |
Study Start Date: | September 14, 2004 |
Objective: Environmental cues frequently induce expectancies in the course of normal daily life. When an individual smells and sees the coffee before tasting it, an expectancy of the coming experience is formed that influences the actual experience of consuming the coffee. Similarly, when an addicted individual experiences cues associated with imminent drug taking, an expectancy of the coming experience is also formed. This protocol will examine neural responses to cues predictive of a stimulus (neutral or rewarding) and to the subsequent receipt of the predicted stimulus.
Study Population: Study participants will include 18-50 year old, male and non-pregnant female otherwise healthy cocaine dependent individuals and control individuals who have a history of some stimulant use but no history of abuse or dependence on any other drug other than nicotine.
Design: The study will employ fMRI to elucidate the neural underpinnings of reward processing. The rewarding stimuli to be studied will be taste stimuli (small squirt of juice or chocolate) and a drug stimulus (intravenous methylphenidate (IV MPH)). For taste stimuli, cues will vary in sensory modality (visual vs. olfactory) and in novelty (well-known vs. novel). Novel and well-known cue stimuli will be included on each experimental day so the development of expectancy can be studied as the cue-taste pairing is learned and compared to the well-known cue-taste pairing. The MPH/saline injections will receive a written cue.
Outcome Measures: BOLD fMRI signal to reward stimuli will be compared in the various cuing conditions.

Going gluten-free grocery shopping for the first time (and sometimes the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) can be overwhelming. Hope these tips help to get you started, or decrease your frustration at the grocery store.
1. Make a plan. Pretty standard advice that crosses the barrier of applying only to grocery shopping. Usually, putting a little thought into your trip first will save you a lot of time in the end. To this day, my husband doesn't understand my pre-grocery trip preparation. I try to decide on 3 or 4 dinner meals for the week knowing that one night will lead to left-overs and one night we will likely play outside too late and end up with a quick-fix chicken nugget type meal. I make my list and clip coupons based around these meals and then add our "standard" items for breakfasts and lunches.
2. Don't forget about naturally gluten-free foods. Not everything you buy will, or needs to, be labeled gluten free. This is where the often heard tip "shop the perimeter of the store" comes in. Think fresh veggies, fruits, meats and dairy products.
3. Try to remember, not just "what can I eat?" but "what is good for me to eat?" I will admit this thought process evolved over time for me. I was so concerned with feeding my daughter gluten-free foods that I was not that concerned about healthy foods! There were lots of gluten-free chicken nuggets, frozen mac and cheese, and hot dogs in the beginning.
4. Be adventurous. Shop different stores. Ok, so for most maybe going to the grocery store isn't an adventure. However, if you are shopping gluten-free, especially in the beginning, it can be! I have two grocery stores pretty close to my house, both the same chain, but they carry different products. I am not a proponent of doing all your grocery shopping at the specialty health food stores. For me, the more expensive prices just aren't worth it except for specialty items. Don't be afraid to ask the manager at your favorite store to start carrying specific products that you like. With the growing population of gluten-free eaters chances are if you want the product, likely others will too.
5. Use your store's resources. Many chain grocery stores have gluten-free product lists like this one from Meijer. This list is maintained by a registered dietitian, one of Meijer's Healthy Living Advisors. Some stores are willing to give gluten-free tours and most have improved their gluten-free labeling on the shelves to help you quickly identify gluten-free products.
What are your best tips to save time, energy, and money, or improve the way you feed yourself and your family?
Sidenote: I am not compensated for any links in this post. This is just one example of a chain I am aware of looking out for us in the gluten-free community.

This view of the Western Candor Chasma on Mars was created with data from the Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Advertisement On this day in 2001, the Mars Odyssey spacecraft launched, and now, 3,333 days later, the robotic spacecraft is still going strong. In orbit around the Red Planet, Mars Odyssey has collected more than 130,000 images and continues to send information to Earth about Martian geology, climate, and mineralogy. Last December, Mars Odyssey broke for the longest-serving spacecraft at Mars, besting the Mars Global Surveyor, which operated in orbit of Mars from 1997 to 2006. An artist's impression of the Odyssey orbiter around Mars. . Image Credit: NASA Advertisement Measurements by Odyssey have enabled scientists to create maps of minerals and chemical elements and identify regions with buried water ice. Images that measure the surface temperature have provided spectacular views of Martian topography.Early in the mission, Odyssey determined that radiation in low-Mars orbit is twice that in low-Earth orbit. This is an essential piece of information for eventual human exploration because of its potential health effects - Odyssey has provided vital support to ongoing exploration of Mars by relaying data from the Mars rovers to Earth via the spacecraft's UHF antenna.Odyssey will support the 2012 landing of the Mars Science Laboratory and surface operations of that mission. Mars Science Laboratory, a.k.a Curiosity, will assess whether its landing area has had environmental conditions favorable for microbial life and preserving evidence about whether life has existed there. The rover will carry the largest, most advanced set of instruments for scientific studies ever sent to the Martian surface.

I have never heard of const overloading, but I get a basic idea from the name and I will go look it up very soon, but are you saying I should replace my declaration ofwithCode:double** getTerms() const? I tried replacing them in the .h and .cpp and still got a bunch of errors, but I'm thinking I used it wrong.Code:const double* const * getTerms() const;
Thanks, you're right. I need to fix that.

np Chart in Excel
Use an np chart when counting the fraction defective over a constant sample size
The np chart is useful when it's easy to count the number of defective items and the sample size is always the same. Examples might include: the number of defective circuit boards per 1000 or incorrect invoices per each sample of 50.
np chart data with a constant sample size looks like this:
To create an np chart in Excel using QI Macros:
- Just click and drag over the data to select it.
- Then click on the QI Macros menu, Control Charts, then np chart.
- QI Macros will do all the math and draw the np chart for you. QI Macros will also turn any unstable points or conditions on the np chart red. These should be investigated.
Example of an np chart created using QI Macros for Excel
A fully capable process delivers zero defects. Although this may be difficult to achieve, it should still be our goal. Once we resolve the out-of-control point, we could use the quality problem solving process to begin to eliminate the common causes of defects. What are the most common types of defects? Why do they occur? What are the root causes of these defects?

Argos is the latest retailer to open a QR code pop-up shop in the run-up to Christmas.
In a move similar to the eBay store near Oxford Street and John Lewis' virtual shop window in Brighton, customers will be able to scan the code of a selected item on their smartphone and will then be sent to Argos' online checkout.
There will be 75 Christmas gift ideas on display at Paddington today and Friday, and then in Waterloo on Wednesday and Thursday.
Argos' head of brand development Siobhan Fitzpatrick said the retailer wanted to make Christmas shopping easy "in an active and engaging way."
But despite its claim to be a unique pop-up gift shop, this is an idea that consumers will soon become tired of - and there has been little evidence of success in driving sales.
In fact, anecdotal evidence from John Lewis' QR experiment in Brighton suggests that the codes do very little to attract customers.
To gauge the popularity of the display, which went live on 23 November this year, digital agency Leapfrogg stationed staff in a coffee shop opposite the window for an hour each day, from Monday to Friday the week after launch.
Obviously this methodology isn't exactly robust, but during the five hour-long periods, which were staggered at different times of day, just 38 people stopped to look at the window display - and only two scanned a code with a smartphone.
Speaking two weeks after the virtual shop window opened, Lloyd Page, head of brand marketing at John Lewis, said it formed part of a wider campaign to raise awareness about JohnLewis.com's 'click and collect' service that has launched across 94 Waitrose shops.
It's early days, but since launch we've seen a week-on-week increase of 54% in click and collect sales to Waitrose Brighton."
Page said it was John Lewis' response to changing customer shopping behaviour.
We want to ensure that customers can shop with John Lewis using the channel which suits them best, whether that's in our shops, on the web, or through our mobile site. QR codes, although still a relatively new technology, are part of that multi-channel mix."
John Lewis' window display ticks all the boxes for QR code best practice; it's an attractive display in a location where users should have 3G access – and most importantly users are directed to a site optimised for mobile use.
Though John Lewis saw an increase in use of the service it was trying to promote, it would not say how many people actually scanned the QR codes. It may have been that a normal window display would have had the same impact, and it's likely that other forms of promotion had an effect on uptake.
It will be interesting to see the final statistics from John Lewis' experiment, which will run until the end of December. But if consumers scan the codes at a rate of only 2 people every 5 hours, it will hardly have been a success. Even if the anecdotal evidence is way off-base, and perhaps 10 people scan the codes even five hours, simply displaying a link to the click and collect webpage might have been more effective.
We discussed the most innovative uses of QR codes here back in July (including Tesco in Korea below) and with numerous examples springing up almost daily, it would appear that the technology is here to stay for the immediate future.
However pop-up shops seem to be little more than PR stunts, as how many consumers will make the effort to go on a Christmas shopping trip to London then simply buy their gifts from Argos on the platform?
Or is Argos hoping that tired commuters will be queuing up to browse a shop on a busy platform on their way home from work?
Surely the only motivation is as to get people talking, which isn't neccessarily bad thing, but while it works in terms of press coverage there's serious doubt about translating this into sales.

It's a radically different way of shopping...truly bizarre!
I guess the fact that the products are physically on display means this format bridges the gap between online and in-store.

The HOPE Center works with classroom teachers to help meet the needs of students in Grades 3-12 who have mild learningdisabilities. Students are mainstreamed and accommodated in the general education classroom. A 504 Plan (classroom accommodation checklist) outlines the student's educational needs, and is given to the classroom teacher.
Students in grades 9-12 have the option of taking online courses. High school students work toward earning either a BCA Diploma or a Certificate of Graduation. This determination is based upon each student's response to intervention and level of independence.
Our most intensive form of intervention, NILD Educational Therapy, has yielded demonstrable results by strengthening the areas of a student's disability rather than accommodating or modifying "around" the area of need. NILD Therapy can only be performed by licensed NILD Therapists, and is limited to a certain number of students each year.
Individualized formal testing using either the Woodcock Johnson III Test of Achievement or the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement is available, as well as standardized testing (SAT-10) and the DIBELS for progress monitoring. Testing is available to BCA students as well as to public and home school students from the surrounding community.
Below you will find links to the BCA HOPE Center for Learning application process. For information regarding tuition/fees, or to ask any questions, please call 301-797-8886, extension 161 or 163. Mrs. Christy Spicer serves as the Program Administrator.

Chop Shop/Atlantic recording artist Anya Marina has announced the release of her new album "FELONY FLATS†on Valentine's Day, February 14th, 2012. "FELONY FLATS†– which follows 2009's acclaimed label debut, "SLOW & STEADY SEDUCTION: PHASE II†– marks a major leap forward for the Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter. The self-produced album sees Marina joined by some of the Pacific Northwest's finest musicians, including guitarist Cody Votolato (Blood Brothers, Telekinesis), bassist Jeff Bond, drummer Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse, Mister Heavenly), and Blitzen Trapper's Eric Earley, who contributes additional piano and guitars. Highlighted by songs such as "Notice Me†and "You Are Invisible,†"FELONY FLATS†is both richly textured and deeply personal, a remarkable musical journey chronicling loss and love in all their many permutations.
"If albums are like children, this one is my favorite (don't tell the others),†Marina says. "It's the one I put the most heart and soul into. It's the one that taught me the most about myself, and it's the one that looks most like me.â€
Though born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and raised in Cupertino, California, Anya Marina first made waves after relocating to sunny San Diego, renowned as a musical hub city for aspiring singer/songwriters. After earning applause as one of Southern California's most talented young artists, Anya was personally signed to Chop Shop Records by label founder Alexandra Patsavas, famed music supervisor for such films and TV shows as Twilight, Gossip Girl, and Grey's Anatomy.
Produced by Louis XIV's Brian Karscig and Spoon's Britt Daniel, "SLOW & STEADY SEDUCTION: PHASE II†arrived in January 2009 and proved a tightly honed collection of winking pop gems and slyly sexy rock 'n' roll, the ideal showcase for Marina's deft melodic sensibility and striking vocal stylings. The album's lead single/video, "Move You,†received extensive radio play as well as significant rotation on mtvU, MTV2's Subterranean, MTV.com, AOL Music, and LOGO. The track also earned a prestigious "Best Song†trophy at the 2009 San Diego Music Awards.
"SLOW & STEADY SEDUCTION: PHASE II†also received copious critical commendation, including a full-page "Breaking Out†feature in Spin. Filter praised the album as "a playfully rhythmic and melodic collection of thought-provoking pop tunes that present a matured songwriter with a bit of edge,†while Marie Claire hailed Anya for "(salting) her cutesy pop with conspiratorial whispers, cooing around hurdy-gurdy rhythms.†"This lady really is a vamp,†declared People, "seducing you with a sultry mix of pop, folk, blues, jazz, even bossa nova – and a Lolita-like voice that brings to mind a naughty Corinne Bailey Rae.â€
Marina quickly followed "SLOW & STEADY SEDUCTION: PHASE II†with a slyly provocative cover of T.I.'s "Whatever You Like,†which was included on a 2009 episode of Gossip Girl. The track spent nearly two weeks atop iTunes' "Top Alternative Songs†chart, with sales now in excess of 100,000. The "Whatever You Like†companion video clip became a YouTube favorite, earning close to 2.5 million views at Anya's official channel, www.youtube.com/user/anyamarinamusic.
2009 also saw Marina's starkly beautiful "Satellite Heart†featured on the RIAA-certified platinum "THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK.†The inspired "Tiny Stars Remix†of the track (by Interpol's Samuel Fogarino) was later included on Marina's 2010 EP, "SPIRIT SCHOOL.†The self-produced digital release found Anya further spreading her creative wings on such new songs as the gritty "Whatsit†(featuring The Dandy Warhols' Courtney Taylor-Taylor).
A provocative and gifted live performer, Marina has toured nearly non-stop throughout her career, both as headliner as well as in tandem with such artists as Jason Mraz, Spoon, Joshua Radin, Eric Hutchinson, Chris Isaak, Paolo Nutini, Emiliana Torrini, The Virgins, Greg Laswell, Jenny Owen Youngs, Steve Poltz, Rhett Miller, The Plain White T's, The Dandy Warhols, and Tristan Prettyman.
Marina has also made a series of high-profile TV appearances, including stellar live performances on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The WB.com's Rockville, CA. What's more, Anya's music has been featured in a wide array of TV series, including ABC's Grey's Anatomy, CBS' How I Met Your Mother, MTV's The City, Showtime's The United States of Tara, and The CW's 90210 and Privileged. As if that weren't enough, her songs have also been heard in major advertising campaigns for Frito-Lay's Tostitos and Boyfriend, the popular fragrance from actress Kate Walsh (Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy).

A tired-looking Tom Conway plays a private detective who is framed for murder. Eva Bartok, the head of a smuggling, has arranged the frameup. Eva is herself "set up" by the actual killer, unreconstructed Nazi Robert Adair. At this point, Bartok belatedly sides with Conway. Only one of the three above-mentioned actors is still alive at fadeout time: guess which one. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who Anime Featuring the 3rd Doctor - Final Version [VIDEO]
This video has been in the making for some time now as I have seen various earlier incomplete versions of it over the last few years now I believe. Originally created as a mock trailer by OtaKing77077 (on YouTube) has expanded into a mini-episode. Because it was originally meant only as mock trailer, it lacks some narrative. It is done in the style of 1980's anime featuring 1970's Doctor Who mostly (it is a 3rd Doctor Jon Pertwee story). It features many original voice clips of various characters from the series as well as some original vocal work. Almost every iconic aspect of 1970s and some 1980s Doctor Who is depicted here except K9 perhaps.
For some reason the video had been pulled from YouTube, someone else had posted it again in the above.

US flies B-52 bombers in support for S Korea
The United States has flown training missions of nuclear-capable B-52 bombers over South Korea in a clear signal to North Korea at a time of escalating military tensions.
The flights are part of annual joint South Korea-US military exercises and should be seen as underscoring US commitment to defend Seoul against an attack from the North, Pentagon spokesman George Little said.
In response to UN sanctions imposed after its third nuclear test last month, North Korea has warned of a "second Korean war" and threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes on the South and the United States.
The North today produced another another video showing the US under attack, this time with the White House in the crosshairs.
"There is no limit to the range of our strategic rockets," a female narrator says in the video, titled 'Firestorms will rain on the Headquarters of War'.
Mr Little said a B-52 from Andersen Air Force base in Guam flew over South Korea on March 8 as part of a military exercise dubbed Foal Eagle.
"The B-52 Stratofortress can perform a variety of missions including carrying precision-guided conventional or nuclear ordnance," he said.
B-52s have taken part in annual exercises before, but Mr Little said the Pentagon wanted to underline their use this time given the current, heightened tensions.
He added that further B-52 flights would be carried out.
"We're drawing attention to the fact that we have extended deterrence capabilities that we believe are important to demonstrate in the wake of recent North Korean rhetoric," he said.
In a major announcement on Friday, the United States unveiled plans to bolster its own missile defences in direct response to the growing threat posed by North Korea.
Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel announced that 14 more interceptors would be stationed in Alaska, increasing by almost half the 30 already deployed along the California and Alaska coastlines.
Hagel said the defence upgrade was designed to "stay ahead of the threat" from North Korea, which is still believed to be years from having a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead to the continental United States.
The US initiative did not go down well in Beijing, where the Chinese foreign ministry warned that any effort to increase military capacity would only serve to "intensify antagonism".
China is North Korea's sole major ally and main trading partner.
Although it backed the latest UN sanctions against Pyongyang, analysts say China's main concern is to avoid sudden regime collapse in Pyongyang that might result in a US-allied, reunified Korea.

SAN BERNARDINO Stater Bros. donated $150,000 to 13 local food banks and pantries this summer to offset the fact that children are out of school and not receiving meals through school food programs.
The money was raised through the Stater Bros.' "Harvesting Hope in our Community" program as customers and employees donated during this past holiday season.
Harvesting Hope in our Community contributes more than $6 million in cash and food donations in Southern California.
"We are in the business of helping our neighbors and right now, some of our neighbors need a little bit more help than the rest. It's our hope that these donations will have a major impact in their lives," said Jack H. Brown, Chairman and CEO of Stater Bros. Markets.
