Newcastle United winger Hatem Ben Arfa says it is vital for the players to not worry about the altercation with Arsenal captain Robin van Persie and get on with the job at hand.
Magpies goalkeeper Tim Krul and the Gunners star exchanged words at various stages of last night's 2-1 win to the home side at the Emirates Stadium but Ben Arfa, who netted the opening goal, suggests it is now more important to focus on the remaining league matches after some players had their feathers ruffled by the Dutchman.
"That's all finished, we now just have to keep our heads up high.
"We are very disappointed to lose. We could have taken one or three points at Arsenal. After going 1-0 up we condeded far too quickly, and we made it difficult for ourselves.
"There are 10 games left and we have to do the maximum to finish in a European place.""Van Persie is not our problem. We can't waste energy on him, it must all go on those last 10 games and we must concentrate on getting as many points from the 30 as we can," he said.

Iraq yet to Decide on Withdrawal from 22nd Gulf Cup
Iraq hasn't decided withdrawal from 22nd Gulf Cup
President of the Iraqi Football Association, Najeh Humoud, said that his country has not yet taken the decision of withdrawal from the 22nd Gulf Cup, after the decision was taken to transfer the event from Basra to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Humoud told Bahrain News Agency (BNA) that Iraq has always been on the side of Gulf unity, and will not take such a decision, only after a careful study.
He expressed reservations about the decision of transferring the tournament from his country, but he expressed understanding to the stance of the heads of the Gulf associations that aims to the public interest of the game, wishing Saudis success in hosting the event in Jeddah.

Cancer research has led to the identification and characterization of many tumour suppressor genes. In 1971 American researcher Alfred Knudson, Jr., postulated that a rare form of eye cancer called

Retinoblastoma, an aggressive tumour of the eye that typically occurs in childhood, offers perhaps one of the clearest examples of the interplay between inherited and somatic mutations in the genesis of cancer. Current data suggest that 60 to 70 percent of all cases of

Oso Casas, L.: An Overview of Gender and Migration: From the Presence of Feminised Migratory Flows to a Greater Gender Balance, 2010
Over the last decade scientific literature has shown a growing interest in gender and migration studies. Some authors have even gone so far as to claim that the feminisation of migration is one of the five features that define the current Migration Era (Castles and Miller, 1998). However, as Zlotnik shows, amongst international migrants, the percentage of women rose by just two percentage points between 1960 and 2000 (rising from 46.6% to 48.8%) (Zlotnik, 2003). More recent data for 2005 show that women made up 49.6% of the immigrant population (Schiff et al., 2007). Oso and Garson pointed out that the feminisation of immigration may be classified as a low intensity process; it is the growing scientific interest in the issue of gender and migration and the greater visibility of female immigrants over the last decade that have contributed to the perception of increasing feminization of migration the marked feminisation of "migratory discourse" (Oso Casas and Garson, 2005).
Since the 1980s, when Spain began to emerge as a country of immigration, one of the characteristics of this new receptive context has been the presence of migratory flows from the European Union, made up of skilled workers and retirees, characterised by a high female presence (52.2% of foreigners from the UK and 51.9% from Germany in 1996, according to the Municipal Population Census) (see table 2), as well as the progressive development of feminised labour currents from third countries. These were formed mainly by Latin American women, who were prepared to pack their bags and travel, often alone, as the heads of transnational households or pioneers in family and community migratory chains. Indeed, this has been one of the features that have characterised migration in the southern Europe migratory space, specifically in Greece, Italy and Spain. Literature addressing these issues in these countries has revealed the existence of gendered migratory trends, characterised by the growing feminisation of immigration, and the large numbers of foreign workers channelled towards specific sectors of the labour market such as domestic service and sex work (Anthias and Lazaridis, 2000). King and Zontini point to a series of factors in order to explain the development of feminised migratory flows in southern Europe: the rapid rise in education standards amongst the autochthonous population; an imperfect shift to gender equality (women have had access to education and the skilled labour market, yet the gendered distribution of domestic tasks remains uneven); society's demand for a series of services such as care for children and the elderly that the state fails to provide and where the population cannot afford the private autochthonous market; the role played by the Catholic Church in channelling migratory flows from certain Catholic countries to the region; the trend amongst certain autochthonous women to employ foreign domestic workers from supposedly 'exotic' countries as a kind of status symbol; the reproduction of the traditional relationship between servant and master through the dominant regional attitude alongside the idea of the maid being a symbol of social prestige (King and Zontini, 2000). Yet despite the presence of feminised migratory flows amongst certain nationalities, it is also true that there are more male immigrants in Spain, due to the large numbers of migrants from other regions where immigration is highly masculinised. In 2000, women made up 48.9% of the total number of immigrants in Spain (Municipal Population Census, Spanish National Statistics Institute - INE).
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the migration of women in Spain in order to determine the extent of feminisation in the country. We will describe how domestic service became the principal gateway for migrant women, creating essentially feminised entry flows amongst certain nationalities. We will then go on to study the current masculinisation and more family-oriented nature of immigration in Spain. The ultimate aim is to show how in recent years, and in contrast to the discourse that has shaped public opinion and that tends to present the feminisation of migration as a lineal trend, Spain has experienced an inverted process of masculinisation, whereby the greater or lesser presence of female immigrants can be attributed to the state of the economy and the labour market, as well as a series of changes in Spain's migratory policy.
In Spain, the first flows of migrant women from third countries to join the labour market were made up of Moroccans (12%), Dominicans (5%) and Peruvians (5%) (data for foreigners in possession of a valid residence permit, Spanish Interior Ministry, 1997). They found work in the domestic service from the mid 80s to the early 90s. This period was also characterised by a flow of Filipinas, who as group, although relatively small in numerical terms, played a significant role due to the fact that they were lone female migrants or pioneers in the migratory chain coming to Spain to work in domestic service or as carers. These early migratory flows attracted the interest of various researchers (Gregorio, 1998; Ramírez, 1998; Ribas, 1999; Herranz, 1997; Oso, 1998, amongst others). The start of the 21st century (2001) was characterised by a sharp growth in immigration from Ecuador, Colombia, and Rumania (Restrepo, 1998; Pedone, 2004, Suárez and Crespo, 2007), as well as a growth of migratory flows from Argentina (due to the economic crisis), and Brazil and Bulgaria (from 2002 on). From 2003 onwards there has also been a sharp rise in the number of Bolivian women migrating to Spain (Municipal Population Census, Spanish National Statistics Institute – INE).
Right from the start, Latin American immigration has been predominantly female. In 1996 women made up 77% of the total number of Dominicans in Spain, 67.7% of the Brazilians and 52.1% of the Argentineans. In 2001 women also represented 61% and 60% of the Peruvian and Colombian immigrants, respectively, in Spain (Municipal Population Census, Spanish National Statistics Institute – INE). In the case of Ecuador, the Municipal Population Census and other data reveal a greater balance between the sexes, although the study of the work permit statistics carried out in 1995 showed that 64% of the Ecuadorians in possession of a valid work permit were women (Oso, 1998, p.130). Unlike Latin American immigration, migratory flows from Morocco have always been essentially masculinised (35.6% were women in 1996), as have those from Eastern European countries (according to the 1996 Municipal Population Census, 43.8% of Rumanian and 47.6% of Bulgarians immigrants were women).
The demand for domestic service workers in Spain during the 80s and 90s, mainly in large cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, was initially for live-in workers. The existence of this labour niche for female immigrants led to the development of feminised migratory flows, and became the principal gateway for female migration to Spain. During the 90s, immigration legislation favoured the arrival of immigrant women. Between 1993 and 1999 the quota policy favoured the regularisation of immigrant women in Spain, as domestic service in particular benefited from the contingencies during this period. In addition, the 1993 – 1997 economic crisis seriously affected the construction sector, and consequently in large cities such as Madrid the labour market was more favourable to female immigration. This explains the sharp feminisation of Latin American labour-motivated migratory flows during this period and the role played by women as pioneers in the migratory chain. Once the major host contexts for this type of immigration (i.e. Madrid and Barcelona) became saturated, flows to other cities throughout Spain developed.
Live-in domestic service is widely acknowledged as being an optimum occupation for women travelling alone or as pioneers in the migratory chain. In the first place it provides free board and lodging, favouring rapid insertion into the host society and saving. In the case of this niche, finding a job also solves the problem of accommodation. Domestic service of this kind is also advantageous for irregular employment, as labour inspections are a rare occurrence. It is therefore a labour segment that suited the way immigrant women tended to enter Spain from the 1980s onwards: they came on a three-month tourist visa and then opted to stay in the country as irregular immigrants. The major influxes coincided with those periods when certain groups, mostly Latin Americans, were exempt from the visa requirement. The introduction of visas for Dominicans, Peruvians, Colombians and Ecuadorians reduced the intensity of these flows.
However, the disadvantages of working in live-in domestic service are well-known and have been amply described in scientific literature: the lack of personal space; difficulties in limiting working hours; a greater tendency towards exploitation and subordination, etc. (Colectivo IOE, 2001; Martínez Veiga, 2000; Herranz, 1996; Oso, 1998). In addition, many of the women working in this sector are over-qualified. The survey carried out by the Colectivo IOE research team with immigrant female domestic workers reveals that 63% of the Peruvian women had completed higher education courses and 31% had finished secondary school. In the case of the Ecuadorians, 53% of those polled had completed secondary education and 40% higher education. The figures for the Dominican were slightly lower (42% had only completed junior school), although a considerable 41% had secondary school qualifications (Colectivo IOE, 2001). These levels of education exceed those required for domestic service and the devaluation of this type of work means that immigrant women react strongly against the subordination that is associated with live-in domestic service and experience strong desires to work in other sectors.
Generally speaking, for many migrant women, live-in domestic service acted as a springboard towards other types of work, such as domestic workers who live out or are paid by the hour. However, the shift to other types of work is often determined by the need to pay off a debt or the lack of alternative forms of employment in a highly competitive market. Live-in domestic service was used as a means of gaining a foothold in the Spanish labour market until enough money had been saved up or family members were able to join. It also represented a means of maintaining transnational households. Indeed, one of the characteristics of Latin American immigration in Spain is the existence of these transnational households which may exist over a considerable period of time (the woman continues to work in Spain for many years, whilst her children or other family members remain in the country of origin and receive regular remittances). Consequently, live-in employment continues to be a strategy used by certain female heads of transnational households opting to sacrifice their own upward social-labour mobility in the host country in order to be able send more money back to their country of origin (Oso, 2002). However, over the years, the immigration of women who left their countries of origin alone as pioneers in the migratory chain has given rise to family regrouping processes.
Since the turn of the century, there has been a progressive masculinisation of immigration in Spain, with the percentage of women falling from 48,9% in 2000 to just 46.8% in 2008 (Municipal Population Census, Spanish National Statistics Institute – INE.
Although the relative percentage of women continues to be higher than that of men in the case of Latin American immigration, it has fallen steadily in the case of certain nationalities. Indeed, in 2008, women made up 57.9% of the total number of Dominicans, and the percentage had also dropped in the case of Peruvian (50.6%), Colombian (55.5%), Brazilian (59.6%) and Argentinean women (49.8%). The percentage of Bolivian women remained stable at between 55% and 56% throughout the period under study (Municipal Population Census, Spanish National Statistics Institute – INE; see table 2). Therefore, there has been a clear shift from a feminised to more family-based migration, especially in the case of Ecuadorians, and Peruvians. The fact that the gender division in Latin American immigration has balanced out in recent years (although women still make up the majority) is attributable to several factors.
Firstly, it is related to the economic growth that began at the end of the 1990s, which resulted in an unprecedented rise in immigrant entry flows (Balch, 2005: pp.13-15). The boom in the construction sector generated a strong demand for mostly male labour, and consequently by the late 90s the labour market was favourable for male immigrants. Secondly, changes to immigration policies also influenced the gendered selection of migration flows.
Changes to the quota system in 2002 almost certainly had a negative impact on immigrant female domestic workers' chances of entering the formal labour market. As is widely acknowledged, since the 1990s, the quota system has operated as a kind of concealed regularisation system for those immigrants already employed in the informal market. As Balch points out, from 2002 onwards, workers had to be recruited from outside Spain, mainly via bilateral agreements between the Spanish government and certain countries of origin. The quotas were determined in accordance with market demand, based on sector and region as well as on the employer requirements in each province. Recruitment was carried out via the embassies in the countries of origin (Balch, 2005). Whilst during the 1990s the quota system benefited particularly the domestic service sector, as we have already mentioned, the data for 2004 shows a more balanced distribution of the annual quotas amongst areas of activity. The data from the Spanish Ministry of Employment and Social Services quoted by Balch reveal that construction was the main sector (21%), followed by hotels (18%), industry (heavy) (15%), transport (10%), commerce (8%) and agriculture (7%). Apart from the annual quota, there were also temporary contracts, which were mainly used for agricultural and farming activities (86.8%) (Balch, 2005). It is worth mentioning here that whilst men dominated this employment sector in the 1990s, programmes have also been set up to recruit women in their countries of origin (East Europe and Morocco) in recent years to work in the agricultural sector in Spain. However, domestic service, which continues to be the main source of employment for immigrant women, does not benefit from the new quota system. This is understandable if we consider the complexities involved hiring a complete stranger to work in private homes. Employers are reluctant to bring workers whom they have not had the chance to interview previously into Spain via the quota system. As Balch points out, all this indicates that most immigrants enter the formal labour market via the 'general system': "an employer applies for a work permit having proven that there is no one available in the labour market (Spanish or otherwise). The reality is that a good proportion of this is through the regularisation processes, which is when an employer applies for a work permit. For the permit to be accepted, it must be proven that there is no legal resident (Spanish or otherwise) that can fill the job. The regional outposts of the public employment service in Spain are where this information is gathered" (Blach, 2005: p.27). Due to these major restrictions on legal entry channels to Spain, an alternative means of obtaining a work and residence permit via family regrouping has developed in recent years. The introduction of visa requirements for Ecuador and Colombia in 2002 and 2003 forced certain Ecuadorians and Colombians to bring forward their migration and family regrouping plans in light of the increased difficulties in migrating once the visa requirements were in place. This is also the case of Bolivia, where visa requirements came into force in 2007. As a result, many Latin American women who left their countries alone opted to regroup their closest family members, thereby adding to autonomous male or family migration which was boosted by the male migrants' expectations of finding work. This has led to a greater gender balance. It is equally interesting to observe that immigration from the UK and Germany has also experienced a degree of masculinisation. However, the opposite is true in the case of Rumanian immigration; although the percentage of men remains higher than that of women, since the turn of the century there has been a gradual trend of feminisation amongst immigrants from this country (with the percentage of women rising from 43.8% in 1996 to 46.2% in 2008; see table 2). This trend also points to family regrouping strategies, which were initiated by male pioneers in the migratory chain in this case.
In this brief overview of Spain as a host country for foreigners it has been exemplified that, despite immigration traditionally being male dominated, there have been a series of feminised migratory flows amongst certain nationalities since the mid 1980s, particularly in the case of Latin American immigration. This is the result of the labour market's demand for (essentially live-in) domestic service workers and carers. During the 90s an economic situation that was less favourable for male migrants and a migratory policy that favoured the quota-based regularisation of female domestic service workers contributed to the development of these nationality-based feminised migratory flows. This developed due to the fact that for the migrant household, the decision to send women as pioneers implied fewer risks from both a financial and legal perspective. However, and in contrast to the discourse recently instilled in public opinion regarding the growing feminisation of migratory trends, immigration in Spain has become increasingly masculinised, particularly in the case of Latin American migrants. The boom in the building industry during the first decade of this century and changes to the quota policy (which was no longer so favourable for women), together with family regrouping processes initiated by female pioneers in the migratory chain, explain the slight fall in the percentage of Latin American women in comparison to their male counterparts. In the case of the traditionally masculine Eastern European immigration, this process has been inverted, and family regrouping strategies have led to an increase in the percentage of women. What will happen during the current economic crisis remains to be seen. Will the impact on migrant male employment (the construction sector) once again lead to a shift of emphasis towards women in terms of meeting the financial needs of transnational households?

Nokia's Mobile TV Report just out
Dr Shani Orgad from LSE (author of the report) believes that personalisation and interactivity (including user generated content or UGC) will be the drivers of Mobile TV and that it will lead to a more personal and private consumption of TV than current broadcast models. So this bodes very well for adult and erotic content on mobile;)
I'm not sure what the impact will be for advertisers. As Dr Orgad suggests, advertisers will have to think outside the box and be more subtle in their approach (which is my advice for pretty much any mobile campign). Mobile anything is about snacking and a few seconds can feel like an inordinately long time on a mobile phone. Don't ask me why, but maybe it's to do with the small screen and the context in which you're using the device - i.e. out and about and on the move rather than slumped on your sofa?
So I'm not sure how much tolerance there wil be to a 5 to 7 second advert, or indeed, how much an advertiser can get across in that minute amount of time. She also goes on to say that you need to create affinity between the consumer and the product. So that suggests contextual targeting, brand and relationship building and interactivity or as I wrote in a previous post "really understanding your consumers and your clients and matching them well together".
And what will mobile interactive TV be like? Does that go beyond UGC? Let's hope it's better than the red button stuff we have at the moment in the UK which is as slow as a tortoise pulling a fork lift truck (well at least on my tellybox it is.)
Best get your thinking cap on Mr Advertiser.

There are many contradictions in all aspects of the mobile TV story so far. In particular the tension between the broadcast and multi/unicast approaches.
However the tech improves there is never enough bandwidth to do everything we want in mobile, and so the natural response would be to go towards broadcast.
On the other hand the expectation of the user of a mobile device, and one of the key advantages of such a device, is the interactive nature of the platform - so dull old broadcast would be a bad thing.
I guess at the end of the day it will land somewhere between the two extremes - a personalised weaving of mainly broadcast material.

Now, my memory may be faulty, but I don't recall seeing that test failure when compiling 2.41 with MinGW.

text:
From French pathologie, from Ancient Greek πάθος (páthos, "disease") and -λογία (-logía, "study of").
pathology (usually uncountable, plural pathologies)
- (medicine) The branch of medicine concerned with the study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences.
- The medical specialty that provides microscopy and other laboratory services (e.g., cytology, histology) to clinicians.
- The surgeon sent a specimen of the cyst to the pathology department for staining and analysis to determine its histologic subtype.
- Pathosis: any deviation from a healthy or normal structure or function; abnormality; illness or malformation.
Derived termsEdit
Terms derived from pathology
Related termsEdit
Usage notesEdit
- Some house style guides for medical publications avoid the "illness" sense of pathology (disease, state of ill health) and replace it with pathosis. The rationale is that the -ology form should be reserved for the "study of disease" sense and for the medical specialty that provides microscopy and other laboratory services (e.g., cytology, histology) to clinicians. This rationale drives similar usage preferences about etiology ("cause" sense versus "study of causes" sense), methodology ("methods" sense versus "study of methods" sense), and other -ology words. Not all such natural usage can be purged gracefully, but the goal is to reserve the -ology form to its "study" sense when practical. Not all publications bother with this prescription, because most physicians don't do so in their own speech (and the context makes clear the sense intended). Another limitation is that pathology meaning "illness" has an adjectival form (pathologic), but the corresponding adjectival form of pathosis (pathotic) is idiomatically missing from English (defective declension), so pathologic is obligate for both senses ("diseased" and "related to the study of disease"); this likely helps keep the "illness" sense of pathology in natural use (as the readily retrieved noun counterpart to pathologic in the "diseased" sense).

I think paint would be a good idea, not only for the continuity it would bring but it's practical as well. After a period of years the upholstery will begin to dry and crack or fade and look washed out. It's much easier to repaint than to re-upholster.
just my opinion. Chickie. |
I'm with everyone else. I would paint as much of the interior as possible (without going too far). Something about the look that makes it look a lot "cleaner" if you know what I mean.
Thanks for the replies. Sounds like we're all thinking along the same lines here - painting the top half and upholstering the bottom half to match the rest of the upholstered interior. There will also be a molding that runs from the dash, along just below the windows at the top of the door panel, around the whole interior. I'll paint that as well (once I build it ) to match the body color.
Spooki - good point about bringing something from the outside to the inside. I wanted to do some chrome trim, but didn't have an idea what it should look like. Maybe a chevy emblem on the glove box door.. Still gotta come up with something good.
When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt |
looking good, & like everyone else I'd paint it too.. Easy to maintain & a place to throw your cr@p lol.... as for what to bring into the cab of the truck, hell use those graphics that i see of the interior... hell if you can do that, you should be able to play around w/it & see what looks best. Write down some ideas of what you want like a pinstripe, piece of molding, an emblem or whatever & then throw thoses ideas onto your virtual dash and truck. Then make copies & study them... We all know what we have seen at some of the shows we've been too.... Some WILD & CRAZY STUFF stuff to make us go and even a few .... SOOOO no matter what you do, it'll come out GREATTTTT..............joe
Chris - check out GMax by Discreet software. It's a stripped-down version of what I use and should do all you want. But it's free!
It's strictly a modelling program, though - to render a picture, you may need to find another (free) rendering program. There's probably a link on their web site to something. I warn you, though - there's a fair learning curve to it. I had a quick look on the web and didn't find a 3D mesh of a Pinto, which could set you back a ways too.. There may also be an exporter to the Cult3D viewer - have a look at that here - you'll have to accept the installation of the viewer, but it's quick and painless. Please excuse my weak modeling skills, too.

Throughout it's 45 year history, C&C Yachts have been known for their build quality, sailing performance and handsome styling, The C&C 121 is no exception with it's graceful sheer, low freeboard, and carefully sculpted deck.
Designed by Tim Jackett and built by Tartan Yachts at their Fairport, Ohio factory, the 121 was the largest C&C design to be built by Tartan.
The 2004 model enjoys several distinct advantages over earlier (1999 - 2003) build years. By 2004 the 121 was being built with a post-cured epoxy/e-glass/ foam cored hull with carbon fibre laminates in high load areas, carbon fibre mast and, in this case, a carbon fibre retractable sprit for flying assymetrical spinnakers.
Earlier model years were built in polyester/e-glass and had aluminum masts; a significant downgrade from the 2004 build specs and a valid reason to seek out and expect to pay more for a 2004 model.
The interior finish was also upgraded in 2004, going from a rather industrial grey gelcoat with grey formica counter tops to a much more inviting cream color gelcoat and tan Granitcote countertops. Several other detail changes set the 2004 model apart from earlier builds.
Custom mattresses, factory reverse-cycle air conditioning and generator, recent electronics and a nice club-race sail inventory and a beautiful deep red hull color make this example a real joy to sail whether racing with friends or cruising with friends and family.
This boat is the finest example of a 121 on the market; schedule an inspection now - this one won't last long.

Have they got heat on the boat? Spent a winter on the Dartmouth slips on Crusader and damn near froze to death--best part was the cold congealed meals sent over from Stad.

When serving bananas foster waffles or another fancy dessert disguised as breakfast, the point is always to impress the living crud out of people. This is accomplished by 1.) making the dish in the first place, 2.) using the word "flambe" (I don't know how to make that little French symbol on the keyboard), and 3.) announcing the dish casually, as if you are serving up a plate of Eggos with microwaved bananas (don't worry, the moment everyone sees them it will be quite obvious that you're not).
Bananas Foster Waffles
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 bananas, sliced2 tsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. cinnamon2 tbs. rum (spiced or flavored rum is fine if the flavor is a complementary one)
1 cup vanilla ice cream (optional)
whipped cream for topping (optional)
4 prepared waffles
Melt butter in a medium skillet. Add brown sugar and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat until bubbly. Stir in heavy cream and cinnamon (mixture will look vaguely like caramel sauce). Pour rum over the top and use a long match or long fireplace lighter to ignite. Due to the small amount of rum the recipe calls for, the flame should die down after one minute or less. Cook and stir for one more minute. Remove from heat. Top waffles with bananas foster mixture and garnish with a small scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Bananas foster waffles - actually, bananas foster period - can be made quickly and easily, and it goes a long way in the impression category.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden discussed LeBron James' return to the Cavaliers during an interview Friday night with NFL Network's NFL Total Access. A transcript is below.
On how he's feeling about the news that LeBron James is joining the Cleveland Cavaliers: "It's a great day in Cleveland."
On what he has been hearing and experiencing: "It's been almost overwhelming. I was actually having my football camp when people that were at my camp -- peoples' parents -- were like, 'Oh my goodness LeBron's here. LeBron's here. LeBron's coming back home.' I'm super excited. I've been a really, really big LeBron supporter. It's been kind of tough being a LeBron fan in Cleveland since he left. So now I've just been able to chill and post some of my things about being a big fan of him -- it's going to be amazing."
On if Cleveland is the center of the sports world and how it feels: "You could feel it everywhere especially after the draft too. We got [Justin] Gilbert and we got [Johnny] Manziel, then the city was buzzing. Now, LeBron's coming back. We got Andrew Wiggins. The whole city feels really good about themselves. I know the players and everybody. I know I do. It's time for us. There's no reason why we can't win games out here with the Cavs and for the Browns."
On who would win a match-up if LeBron James lined up at WR: "See I'm just going to have to do what I have got to do."
On if he would recruit LeBron James to play for the Browns: "If he wants to come, I'd welcome him with open arms."
On if he would give up jersey No. 23 to LeBron James: "He might be the only person I could give 23."
On if he's going to go to Cavaliers games: "I've been going to Cavs games now ever since I've got here. I called my Cavs connect and told him, 'Listen, nothing changes. We're going to the same schedule of every game I need to be on the floor because LeBron is my boy.'"
On who wins a championship first -- the Cavaliers or the Browns: "LeBron makes things happen pretty quickly, so we're going to have to get to it. I say it's going to be a tight fight. I know me and Manziel will be pushing to make that happen before. That's why LeBron is coming here to bring a championship to the city and I'm trying to do the same thing."
On if the buzz and energy from LeBron James can transfer to the football field: "Even if LeBron hadn't have come, I felt really confident about what we got going on as far as the Browns organization and the way the direction that we're going. This is just nothing but add-on to it. This just boosts peoples' spirits up. I think at the end of the day, what we have with the Browns we feel like we can games, we feel like our defense is very, very, very strong. With [Johnny] Manziel and [Brian] Hoyer fighting for the quarterback position, Ben Tate at running back -- we've got a lot of different moving positions on offense. It could be special for us. I think with this team, we're going to have a really big push."

Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.

Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is set in and around a post-apocalyptic retro-futuristic Las Vegas, following the Great War between the U.S., and China as a conventional and nuclear war that occurred on October 22 - October 23, 2077, and lasted less than two hours, while causing immense damage and destruction.

Star Wars: Battlefront
In 2004, the original Star Wars Battlefront came onto the scene and took gamers – and Star Wars fans – by surprise.

Fast forward nearly 10 years and gamers still have many of those same Star Wars gaming fantasies – but now they wish to experience those larger-than-life battles in magnificent high definition, with all of the amazing special effects, vehicle physics and gameplay intensity that the next-generation has to offer.

A looming fuel crisis leads to a boon for North Dakotans

Guest: Caitlin McNally, documentary filmmaker
Guest's notes: "2 of 12,000"
The tiny, dusty town of Stanley — with a population of less than 1,500 — sits in the heart of western North Dakota's current oil boom. I came across Trisha and Lilly, two young waitresses, when I was seeking out places in Stanley where people would be talking about oil and what it means for them. These girls generously and energetically told me their stories in between serving burgers and ringing up regular late-morning customers at the roadside café where they work. It surprised me to learn how far they had traveled to get to this barren, remote region. Both girls followed their oil-worker boyfriends halfway across the country to jump into the gold rush kicked off by all the drilling. While more and more North Dakotans are heading out to high-paying jobs in the oil fields, positions are opening up at lightning speed in small town cafes, bars and motels. The North Dakota Petroleum Council estimates that the oil boom will create 12,000 new jobs that will need to be filled by 2010. Trisha and Lilly are already there to meet the call.

NOTE: The cushion works best if strongly contrasting colours are used.
Finished size: approximately 16-inches/40 cm square
Gauge: 2.5 cm/1-inch = 5 rows and 6 sts over colour pattern

Police identify man killed by Garden Grove officer
GARDEN GROVE – Police have identified a man shot by a Garden Grove officer after an hourlong pursuit in Seal Beach.
Matthew Scott Lane, 35, of Glendale was killed Saturday night while attempting to carjack a man at a Chevron gas station, police said.
Police said they were called to the home of Lane's former girlfriend in the 5900 block of Huntley Avenue around 4:30 p.m. when he ran, which set off a pursuit.
Officers lost his vehicle during the chase and sent a countywide radio description of Lane and his vehicle, Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said.
Seal Beach police said they received calls shortly after the broadcast of someone driving erratically and learned the driver could be Lane.
Garden Grove police went to the intersection of Westminster Boulevard and Seal Beach Boulevard, Nightengale said.
Authorities said Lane drove his car to the Hampton Inn & Suites hotel parking lot in the 2400 block of Seal Beach Boulevard, and officers began chasing him on foot to the gas station.
After Lane struggled with the owner to take the vehicle, a Garden Grove police officer intervened and shot Lane at the gas station around 5:25 p.m., Nightengale said.
Lane died from his injuries at 5:27 p.m., Orange County Supervising Deputy Coroner Daniel Aiken said.
Nightengale said a weapon was recovered at the scene, and the shooting investigation has been turned over to the Orange County District Attorney's Office, as is protocol in officer-involved shootings.

(To amplify a bit: Cooley's anemia results from inheriting of a recessive trait that interferes with the rate of hemoglobin synthesis. The affected infants are normal at first but, by the age of 6 to 9 months, they develop a kind of pallor, retarded growth, fever, inadequate food intake, numbness and tingling of the extremities. This is usually fatal before puberty. Countries like Italy, Greece and Cyprus have the highest frequency of this disease in the world, with around 10 percent of the Mediterranean population carrying this gene. Cooley first noted this disease in the children of Mediterranean heritage in the clinics of Ann Arbor, Michigan.)

Answer: A vanished department in the university?
11 comments:
didn't see any mention of the building image used - would you source the image and give the building name and location and its relation to the question, please - haven't had any success trying to locate it. Were you actually on the U of Michigan or Wayne State campuses or is that just artifice for the quiz?
Enjoy Boulder.
Muenzinger Psychology buildingThough incidentally, Alexander Rice chaired a defunct department as well! Geographical Exploration at Harvard. His is also an interesting backstory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_H._Rice,_Jr.I am confused. Why would you start a search for a vanished department by looking for Doctor's who have the Legion of Honor? Is there a part of the question that is missing?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI guess I should have been clearer. The reason you start with that is because it's the fastest way to get to a small search space. If you think about it, how many American MDs would have the Legion of Honor. As you saw in my example, it's only a few. Once you have that small number, then you can test for the "vanished department" and the "diseases named for the doctor."
Make sense?Still doesn't make sense! Can you share the original question in its entirety?
DeleteSure... you can get to it by going back 1 day from this post. (See the "Older Post" blue link on the bottom right of this page.) Or, you can visit the page at http://searchresearch1.blogspot.com/2012/10/search-challenge-101012-vanished.html
DeleteAh! I see, the full "instructions" to the question are as follows:
"He was a physician who served valiantly in a World War, won the Legion of Honor for his noble work in France, and was the first to describe a disease that is now named after him...What really got to me is that he worked in a university department that no longer exists as an academic discipline."
Thanks, and sorry for not having figured that out on my own! I suspect I'm not the only one who found their way over here for the first time via a Gawker piece, which essentially only referred to information in your present post and didn't explain what (or where) the original question was. I imagine this might be a bad habit all-too-familiar to an observer of search behavior...
I ended up going for:
Dr. Schepens (Not on the mentioned list)
But I couldn't tag him with a lost department.

What's More Important Interesting Content Or Good SEO?
Source: normadoiron.net via Larry on Pinterest
You can't always do both. Sometimes to make sure you are writing for seo means taking away from the meat of your content. If you write a lot of content then you can sprinkle some blog post in just for the sake of seo, whilst you write other articles that are in your real voice.
I know seo is an important aspect of blogging, many new bloggers though focus on seo so much that they neglect to write stuff that will hold a persons attention longer.
I recommend not worrying so much about seo so much. Your first 100 blog post develop your unique writing style. Do practice good blogging practices.
Good SEO Bad SEO – Doesn't really matter if YOU are making money
Don't be one of those people who get's stuck sitting in front of your monitor "trying" to figure out what your keywords are. Instead hook up Google Analytics to your blog and see what words your traffic is coming from. Once you have a general idea then start doing keyword research to figure out where you can get more of the same type of traffic.
Good blogging will bring you targeted traffic, that is to say traffic that actually wants to hear what you have to say.
Depending on how you want to make money online. It might be in your best interest to use Empower Networks blogging platform to get the word about it. When using an empower network blog, you will automatically be using a blogging platform with high authority and page rank. What this means is that whatever you blog about will more than likely get indexed with search engines within 2 hours. The only way it wouldn't is if you are going after a super competitive keyword or phrase.
If SEO isn't as important as many people say it is, why do it?
The rules for seo haven't changed that much in 6 years. What was important back way when is still important now. Good content trumps seo any day of the week. As far as all the google rules, just write from your heart and don't pay them any mind. In my opinion it's more important to focus on being consistent in your content production than it is your seo quality.
My rule of thumb is don't use plr articles. Don't look at shortcuts when it comes to writing content. I recommend 1 of 2 options.
- Write your own content
- Pay someone to write quality original content for you
The other shortcuts like using plr articles, respinning articles etc is low quality. Stick to original content. While I am not saying totally avoid practicing seo strategies all together, I am saying focus more on writing engaging content than worrying if you appease the seo gods..
Even if your not blogging on a bad ass blogging network like empower network. You can still get lots of traffic without using seo:
- Write good comments on other peoples blog
- Add social share buttons on your blog
- Share your blog on social networks
Seriously with just those three methods of promotion you can get a lot of traffic, if your not then realize it's your content that isn't good.

When first we met by the waterfall,
there stood between us not a wall.
A hill perhaps with you above ,
and you brought me up with your sweet love.
We walked together through time and space,
You lead me to a most gracious place.
You sent your love on a midnight train,
and I was hesitant of the pain.
I almost lost you from my sight,
My heart put up a terrible fight.
I feel from you and had to flee,
but now my heart draws near to thee.
Magic in the air, our thoughts embrace,
With power that does make our hearts race.
The trance between our hearts seems strong,
Perchance together do we belong.
Could we be lovers from long ago?
And now it's time to melt the snow.
From blazing inferno, that turned to ice,
Look out for the sun, it may bring rice.
