text: Share: Comments Print February 25, 2013 at 1:47 PM Spring position preview — Offensive line Posted by Bob Condotta We'll continue our preview of UW's position groups heading into the spring with a look at what will be one of the more intriguing and critical areas for the Huskies in 2013 — the offensive line. It's a group that features four returning fulltime starters from 2012, including left tackle Micah Hatchie (No. 72 above at left) as well as the return of two other former starters from injury. Those returners, as well as some emerging young players, will be expected to form a group that can play at a demonstrably higher level than it did in 2012 when the Huskies allowed 38 sacks, tied for 102nd in the nation, and also struggled at times to get a consistent running game going against some of the better defensive fronts. REVIEWING 2012 Before going further, let's first look back at the season that was in 2012. UW's offensive line may have been the position on the team that was hit the hardest with injuries. First, two-year starting guard Colin Porter, who may have had as much potential as anyone on the line, was forced to retire prior to spring ball in 2012 due to chronic shoulder issues. Then, in the first half of the first game of the season, starting right tackle Ben Riva suffered a broken forearm that caused him to miss five games. And then, in the second game at LSU, starting guard Colin Tanigawa and Erik Kohler, who had moved from guard to right tackle to take the place of Riva, were lost for the season with knee injuries. Exact details of each injury were never given. But Tanigawa had also missed the last two games of the 2011 season with an ACL, and Kohler's was initially mentioned as a kneecap injury, something he had also suffered early in fall camp. That had UW playing the first half of the season essentially without four players it ended the 2011 season assuming would be starters in 2012. Riva made it back for the final seven games, and the OL was pretty stable from that point. Here's how the depth chart looked at the end of the 2012 season: Pos. # Player Year Ht/Wt Hometown LT 72 MICAH HATCHIE So. 6-5, 293 Haleiwa, Hawai'i 76 Dexter Charles RS-Fr. 6-4, 292 Camano Island, Wash. LG 76 DEXTER CHARLES RS-Fr. 6-4, 292 Camano Island, Wash. 65 Siosifa Tufunga RS-Fr. 6-2, 307 Long Beach, Calif. C 73 DREW SCHAEFER Sr. 6-4, 294 Sammamish, Wash. 65 Siosifa Tufunga RS-Fr. 6-2, 307 Long Beach, Calif. RG 78 MIKE CRISTE So. 6-5, 295 Mission Viejo, Calif. 70 James Atoe So 6-6, 335 The Dalles, Ore. RT 59 BEN RIVA So. 6-6, 302 Seattle, Wash. 70 James Atoe So. 6-6, 335 The Dalles, Ore. Hatchie ended up starting all 13 games, as did Schaefer. Charles started the final 11, and Riva started the final seven and Criste the final six. In fact, the starting lineup detailed above started each of the final six games, a period when UW went 4-2 and rushed for 160 or more yards four times, and averaged 156.8 — an average that is higher than the rushing yardage totals of all but two of the first seven games. Bishop Sankey accounted for most of those yards, though, and the question of how much of it was better play by the line or Sankey coming in is always a difficult one. Also, the fact that UW managed just 75 yards rushing in the Apple Cup — lowest of the season other than the 26 at LSU — indicated that there was still lots of room for improvement in the running game. Pass blocking, meanwhile, was an issue the entire season, capped off by Keith Price being sacked four times and evading the rush another half-dozen-or-so other times in the Las Vegas Bowl loss to Boise State. It's not uncommon for young lines to be better at run blocking early on, with pass blocking involving a bit more technique, and also being something that many OLs often didn't have to do a lot of in high school (or certainly not to the complexity called for at the Pac-12 level). The hope will be that the pass blocking begins to catch up to the apparent late-season improvement in the run blocking. A LOOK AHEAD As you can see, the only starter the Huskies lose is Schaefer. And every indication given by UW coach Steve Sarkisian is that he expects Tanigawa and Kohler to be back for the 2013 season, though it's unclear if either or both will be ready for spring (almost certainly not Tanigawa). While the other four starters were pretty set the final half of the 2012 season, the team is obviously looking for improvement, and there is no doubt there will be a lot of mixing and matching up front throughout spring and summer camp to get the best combination up front. Of the returners, the spotlight may fall brightest on Hatchie, a former four-star recruit who has long been groomed as the left tackle of the future but was spotty in his first season as the starter. The Huskies will need to see progress from him this season. As for replacing the one departure, if Tanigawa returns, he could slide in at center. Kohler could also be used there. But if neither is available for the spring, someone else will get those reps — Criste was the team's backup center early on before moving out to guard when injuries hit. One option would be to move him there and have Atoe — who started three games at right guard and three more at right tackle — settle in at guard. Should Kohler and Tanigawa make it back, UW would have seven players returning in 2013 who have at least six career starts on the offensive line, the kind of experience it has not had in years. An intriguing aspect of the spring will be seeing which of the younger players can make a move. All indications are that Shane Brostek, who started three games at guard at mid-season, will remain on defense. The only other scholarship player to see any time in 2012 was Tufunga, who saw some spot duty in mop-up situations. Four other OLs signed in 2012, however, will now be off redshirt status — Jake Eldrenkamp, Taylor Hindy, Cory Fuavai and Nathan Dean. Also worth noting is Michael Kneip, an invited walk-on who redshirted in 2012. Of that group, Eldrenkamp at the end of the season appeared closest to making an impact, getting substantial work as a backup left tackle during the Las Vegas Bowl practices. All spent most, if not all, of the 2012 season working with the scout team, other than during early bowl practices and a few other spots here and there. So the spring will be a vital time for each to begin stating their case for their role in 2013. UW signed three OLs as part of the Class of 2013, but none will be available in the spring. The line will be coached for the fifth year by Dan Cozzetto, the only member of Sarkisian's initial UW staff who remains at the same spot. For all involved with the line it will be a critical season. After three straight 7-6 years, expectations entering 2013 will be higher than at any time during Sarkisian's tenure. But that "next step" won't be taken without some significant leaps in improvement up front. Comments

Dairy Queen's 75th Anniversary Did Not Happen in Davie, FL
Last Monday was Dairy Queen's 75th anniversary or something like that. The more important thing is, they were giving away free cones.
I happened to be in Florida visiting two friends, so I relayed this joyous news to them, and we drove to DQ. Now we arrive, and it's apparent this news is not secret because everyone and their mother, father, dog, cousin, and future children are there.
We haven't been in line more than a minute when the cashier announces, "We are out of cones. We have no more free cones. The deal is over."
Meanwhile, over this woman's shoulder, we can see this is a blatant lie: The cones are in full view. Would she give me one if I offered her $2.39? And I did wonder how much DQ could be making if all this people and their unborn kids are only getting free cones and leaving without buying anything else - but that's not my issue. You can't just cancel the deal.
Thankfully, there are similar thinkers in Davie, FL. Ones that look like leather purses, according to my friend, because Florida. Either way, this woman demands, "Well, we can get it in a cup then?"
Cashier: "I'm not allowed to do that. It's my manager's orders."
Woman: "Can I talk to the manager? This is a national deal. We came for free cones."
Cashier: "The manager isn't in right now." (Of course she isn't.)
Woman: "What's her name?"
Cashier: "Barbara."
Now somehow this woman finagled two small plastic cups of ice cream for herself and her husband. I worried momentarily she was involving my group of friends in this, because we had jested we were here for the cones (it actually wasn't a jest; we really were), but I was like, I'd rather not be associated with Mrs. Leather Purse Skin; I'll fight my own battles.
Of course this prompted others to try similar tactics to which the cashier announced she would lose her job if she gave out any more cones or plastic cups; Barbara would fire her.
When my friends and I reached the cashier, we opted for the buy-one-get-one-free deal on a blizzard. But I asked: "Can we get a free cone with that?"
Cashier deadpans me.
Me: "I mean, we're buying something."
Cashier: "I will lose my job."
Me: "Tell Barbara she made a lot of fans tonight."
So you would think this story ends here. However, I have seen the common people stick it to the man through social media, and I am not about to see an anniversary decimated by the likes of Barbara. So I find their Facebook page.
The most recent review is from - wait for it - a woman named Barbara. She writes: "Great atmosphere employees are absolutely wonderful the food is great and best of all the blizzards are awesome!" She also gave it five stars.
I comment, "Are you the manager?"
I then add my own review: "Well, let me tell you: Tonight my two friends and I doted on your establishment expecting free small cones because that was the national promise for your 75th anniversary. However, we were told that the manager Barbara had called off this anniversary, as if she could erase 75 years' worth of history, and the cashier would be fired if she gave us a free cone. And then, to add to the travesty, we saw the cashier hand a woman a blizzard, turning it upside down - AND IT SPILLED OUT. But the cashier responds, 'You weren't supposed to see that.' Where was their free blizzard? Barbara, I'm waiting for your answer."
I gave them to two stars, which corresponds to "subpar." I'm not that worried about ruining DQ's reputation, because it's common knowledge that they have the cheapest best soft serve. I just have a cone to pick with Barbs. I also am hoping for free DQ for a year.
This morning I woke up to a notification. Barbara responded to whether or not she was the manager. "Yes," she wrote.

The question was on the lips of many a Benevento fan and those of the wider Serie A circle alike, who would score the clubs historic first goal in the top tier of the Italian game?
88 years the club from Campania had been waiting for this moment. 88 years of wondering and doubting if it would ever happen. Indeed, it was only last season that the club scored its first goal in Serie B, a 23rd minute strike from the penalty spot by the relatively unknown Amato Ciciretti.
Seven days off a year later young Ciciretti would also take to the field in another momentous occasion for the club and for the Roman native lightning would most certainly strike twice. With 15 minutes on the clock at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa the 23-year-old made a run from deep, left completely untracked the attacking midfielder picked up a cross from the left just to the right-hand side of the D. Controlling it with grace his first touch allowed him to advance into the area, with one Sampdoria defender in front of him Ciciretti shifted the ball onto his left foot, from an observers point of view it looked as if Amato's best option was to dink the ball across the six yard box. Instead with the confidence of a man who has been playing at this level for years the Benevento attacker used the Samp defender as a shield to block the keepers view before clipping the ball around him and into the bottom left corner.
The mighty Stregoni were leading 1-0 and for the second time in the space of a year Amato Ciciretti had scored his clubs historic first goal at a new level. Despite having been capped at under 18 and 19 level for Italy Ciciretti is not exactly a name tipped to be the future of Italian football. Having come through the Roma youth system, winning both the Allievi Nazionalli and Primavera titles with the Lupi, Ciciretti experienced his first taste of adult football whilst on loan at Carrarese in Serie C. It was to be a baptism of fire for the youngster, making 19 appearances in the league the player failed to hit the target even once as the Azzurri finished bottom of the table.
While the Tuscan outfit would later earn a reprieve from relegation Amato would not be around to witness it as he was quickly shipped out on another loan deal, this time with L'Aquila also of Serie C. With a year under his belt at the level Ciciretti improved this time playing 22 times scoring once as the Eagles finished fifth, eventually losing in the play-offs to Pisa.
Getting used to the journeyman lifestyle Ciciretti packed his bags once again for the 2014/15 season and it was back to Tuscany, this time with the newly promoted Pistoiese. His spell with the Arancioni was however brief lasting only nine matches before switching to Messina in January. From there to the remainder of the season he would play a further 19 matches scoring three times.
For the 2015/16 season Amato would finally find a permanent home and once again it was below the Mezzogiorno with Benevento. From here he has flourished earning promotions from both Serie C and Serie B with the Witches.
A connoisseur of tattoos with most of his torso covered in ink, one in particular earned him fame in Italy and beyond. After joining Twitter on New Year's Eve 2016, also his birthday, Ciciretti put forward the wager that if his tweet was retweeted 500 times he would get the company's logo tattooed onto him along with his handle. Needless to say, the tweet got its 500 hundred retweets and being a man of his word Ciciretti followed through on his promised and got the logo inked onto his leg.
At 23 Amato Ciciretti still has plenty of time to develop as a footballer and if he keeps scoring goals of the calibre that he did last Sunday his stay in Serie A may be a long a fruitful one no matter what the outcome for Benevento at the seasons end.

Freelancer Starter Pack: A College Student Guide to Freelancing
It is no longer surprising that college students want to work. Working while studying has its own benefits. It will give you a work experience or financially support your studies. In a CNBC report published in 2015, more than 70{27cf775b870bc5ac282d0833b509705cb6a92dbdbda0a7565789d36712b3dc02} students are working while attending school. They also indicated that the number grew when enrollment and tuition increased.
But is it possible for a student to balance work and studies?
Yes, it is possible if you're a freelancer. A freelancer is a self-employed person who's offering services with the expectation of a payment. When you're a freelancer, you don't have to worry about adjusting your schedule. You can work at your most convenient time. You may work for multiple clients simultaneously if you don't have much study load.
So how do you start a freelance job?
Since you're setting up your own business, you have to think of what you can offer to your clients. What are you're good at? What skills have you mastered? If you have the passion for writing, you may start accepting online writing jobs. Also, make a schedule that would make a bar between your job and studies. Making a realistic plan will free you from stress.
If you already know what services you'll be offering, it's time to gather everything you need. In order for you to start your business, you have to have the right materials that are vital in your field. If you choose to be an online freelancer, you'll need an internet connection that is affordable but stable. Aside from an internet connection, you might also want to use VOIP Canada, so your client can contact you more easily.
You have to make your brand outshine other competitors. Put up blogs or social media accounts. Then, make posts that would catch people's attention. Since most people have an access to the internet, you're bound to find clients online.
An outstanding portfolio consists of your best works that would serve as samples of your work. If possible, you can also include sample feedback from your previous clients. You may post it online so everyone from around the world can view it. Always remember that if you have an exemplary portfolio, you can attract more and better clients. But don't stop at satisfying your first clients. Always aim to provide the best service.
Have fun working for clients of your choice and building your own network. However, never forget why you're working in the first place. You are working in order to have the money to finance your studies or save money. A freelance work has its own advantages. However, it is still better to have a degree than to settle into something that is not permanent. If you want to continue being a freelancer after you graduate, you can at least upgrade your services, so you can earn more.

Anything with a bit of Rome culture is a must-see in my book. The romance of Italy for this wonderful engagement makes for a great little session. From the photographer Fibre di luce: "Rossella and Denis live in Rome but, just like most romans do, they have never visited some places of their Eternal City. So taking advantage of good weather, they spent a few hours doing tourism in their own city with vintage camera equipement and a custom "save the date" traffic sign. And, believe it or not, their astonishment is genuine. And so is their exuberant joy!"
Such a sweet and romantic idea for a shoot.

In answer to: The Evolution of the Visual Mapper (Part Deux)?
Do you believe the Visual/Knowledge mapping arena has experienced a measurable advancement since the publication of the original article?
1. If yes: what do you believe have been the most relevant advancements?
There hasn't been any major advancement in the current visual/knowledge mapping arena. A very interesting attempt is a visualization of information from online available data and to build a map of logically and semantically connected information as a mind map, where possible interconnections will be automatically presented with the description of the type of relationship that different items might have.
Advancements were needed and seen with the integrations of tools with external storages such as Google Drive, Box, DropBox, OneDrive etc, like in iMindQ Online. Mind Mapping tools manufacturers have invested in adding new project management features within their tools, or tried building new light, agile project management tools or task management tools, that will be integrated with the mind mapping tools for planning and managing projects within small teams.
2. If not: what have been the most notable failures of advancements?
The failures can be seen in the slow expansion in raising the awareness of individuals and businesses regarding the benefits that both mind mapping and visualization arena, offer in general.
Because there is no major advancements in the arena, no specific consequences can be seen or expected.
The consequences of the failures can be seen in the stagnation in development of future advancements in the arena and the wider adoption of those advancements from both individuals and businesses.
We are far away from being considered as a mainstream addition. The visual/knowledge mapping arena is more perceived as an addition to or as an alternative to other productivity tools.
Tools that fall into the visual/knowledge mapping arena, should try to find new ways that will fulfill business needs of people, in order to save them time in today's busy world. This might help establish mind mapping as a new mainstream addition to other productivity tools, in which the data is better organized, connected and presented.
5. How do you envision the future of visual/knowledge mapping arena?

Rosemary, derived from the Latin word rosmarinus meaning "dew of the sea," has long been known for its healing and cognitive benefits, seemingly helping with everything from hair loss to memory lapses.
The Mediterranean herb has been associated with memory for thousands of years, as evident in Shakespeare's Ophelia where the eponymous character described various herbs and their powers: "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance…" (Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5)
But can rosemary actually improve memory, or is it merely folk medicine?
There's a small but growing body of research that has found the smell of rosemary can actually stimulate your memory, improve your mood, and make you more alert and accurate.
In one study, a team of scientists at University of Northumbria (United Kingdom) assessed the olfactory impact of rosemary and lavender essential oils on the cognitive performance and mood in a group of volunteers.
The volunteers were placed in cubicles infused with one of the two scents (or none at all) and given a series of memory- and attention-based tasks.
The study found that rosemary greatly enhanced memory and alertness while lavender impaired their working memory and their reaction times to tasks. (Not surprising, since lavender is often associated with calmness and sleep.)
Another study by the same team of scientists looked specifically at the effects of 1,8-cineole, a volatile chemical compound in the oil that gives rosemary its pungent aroma. The compound works in much the same way as the drugs used to treat dementia: it increases a chief neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which assists in learning, memory, and arousal.
Volunteers were exposed to varying amounts of 1,8-cineole while asked to complete certain mental tasks. The study found that the more 1,8-cineole they inhaled, the faster and more accurate they were on the cognitive tests.
(The chemical compound is not unique to rosemary, by the way — it's also found in other highly aromatic plants like bay, sage, and eucalyptus. These plants release their fragrant oils to deter herbivores and attract the predators of herbivores.)
If you're wondering how simply smelling something can have that type of effect on the brain, it turns out that inhalation is one of the best ways of getting drugs into the brain. (You might remember this post I wrote about Mycobacterium vaccae, or "nature's Prozac," a harmless mind-altering bacteria that's present in the soil. Mind-altering in a good way, that is.)
When you eat a drug, it gets broken down in the liver (which processes everything absorbed by the gut) but when you inhale it, small molecules pass into the bloodstream and make their way to the brain without being broken down first.
Blood samples from the volunteers confirmed this, as the scientists found traces of 1,8-cineole and other compounds from rosemary oil in their blood.
More recently, the University of Northumbria researchers conducted a similar study with children, and found that the scent of rosemary significantly enhanced their working memory.
How and why it works is still largely unknown, and eating rosemary does not seem to have the same effect on the brain. But, these findings indicate rosemary essential oil could have potential as a straightforward and cost-effective solution to improving academic performance in children, as well as workplace performance in adults.
There have been other peer-reviewed studies on the physiological effects of rosemary oil on the human body, and more findings that suggest the scent of rosemary can reduce stress and anxiety (leading to increased concentration and better performance).
This is not to say you should be sniffing rosemary all day every day (how much and how often for optimal benefit is still to be determined), but if there's a chance rosemary can make you smarter… why not grow some rosemary in a pot by the window, or rub a few sprigs of fresh rosemary when you feel like you're lacking focus?
If fresh rosemary isn't available, running a diffuser with a few drops of rosemary essential oil would have the same brain-boosting benefits. (Not to mention your home will smell amazing.)

Because people going through divorce are under financial stress, it's not unusual for one of the parties to file for bankruptcy protection. Filing for bankruptcy during divorce can also provide significant strategic advantages to the party filing for relief. We have used bankruptcy to bring to a conclusion difficult divorce cases that have dragged on for months or even years in the divorce courts. Our lawyers also represent the rights of the non-debtor when a spouse files bankruptcy during divorce and have been engaged by divorce attorneys to collect the fees and costs they have been awarded by a divorce court judge. While the laws surrounding divorce and bankruptcy can be complex, our Los Angeles bankruptcy divorce lawyers can help. If you are contemplating filing for both bankruptcy and divorce, then timing can be critical.
How Can Divorce and Bankruptcy Affect Each Other?
First, you cannot do both at the same time. First, bankruptcy courts determine income depending upon your marital status at the time the case is filed. If you file for bankruptcy during your divorce, it may delay the distribution of assets and liabilities until after your bankruptcy proceedings have been completed; this will in turn impact how these are treated in your divorce.
Should We File for Bankruptcy First?
If you and your spouse are at a place where you can agree on it, then consider filing for bankruptcy first. By filing jointly, all your marital debts will be addressed under a single bankruptcy case. In this way, your joint debts can be wiped out and you may be able to increase your exemption amounts. This is also helpful if only one spouse makes the money since it will increase the chances of qualifying for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for that spouse. Bankruptcy will also help you eliminate those contracts that neither one of you wants or is unable to keep, such as high car loans or mortgages that are underwater.
If you qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the process should be complete in about 90 days. Therefore, you and your spouse can eliminate those unsecured debts and remove any conflict over them. If, however, you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, be aware that both you and your spouse will be responsible for the repayment plan and may also be prevented from dividing assets by sale. Once the bankruptcy is completed, divorce proceedings will continue without any further delay from bankruptcy.
Should We File for Divorce First?
If your joint income is too high to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then filing for divorce first might make more sense for you and your spouse. For example, if you make significantly less than your spouse you (or both of you) may be able to qualify for Chapter 7 without a Chapter 13 payment plan.
Proper planning in a divorce is key. Call our office today at (877) 716-7285 and let us help you make the decision that is right for you.

At ITS, we are ahead of the game and always looking for the next big thing.
For example, we identified the drive towards to retro homespun / nostalgic products in the UK and their feasibility to bakery. This enabled us to help our customers by coming up with a range of amazing product concepts. From cakes, icings, breakfast cereals through to speciality breads – we have all the flavours that are on trend.
We were also quick to spot the emergence of tropical flavours in other sectors such as beverage and dairy. Being ahead of the game, we developed an entire workshop focused solely on getting tropical!!
Who knows what's next, but here at ITS we have our ear to the ground and are always keen to share our ideas with you to create market winning products together.

We mentioned the t-shirt idea last summer. I know, I know, everyone does t-shirts. So why did we jump on the bandwagon? Well, obviously, people really LIKE t-shirts. Especially soft, comfy ones. Right? (the correct answer is "right".)
We wanted to find a way to spread the message of Belong in ways outside the pages of the magazine. We think the idea of belonging is something that resonates with everyone. Yes, you can admit it, it even resonates with you. What's great is that this t-shirt acts as a great reminder not only to you, but to those around you (who happen to be staring at your chest awkwardly—wink wink), that we all matter.
So remember: YOU BELONG. We want you to believe it, preach it, wear it and share it!
You can get a t-shirt in the shop and share the love with the world!
P.S. There is a coupon code for our lucky email subscribers to get a t-shirt for $15! If you're not a subscriber, you can sign up by clicking the box on our home page.

Deep Secrets: Coast Coral Explored
Steve Ross plucks a slender Munida crab from a bucket of chilly water, then places it gently on a small branch of Lophelia coral.
The bright red creature does what comes naturally in its usual habitat a thousand feet below the ocean's surface, obligingly extending its claws as if to catch any stray fish that might happen by.
"He would normally sit just like that in the water," Ross says, extending his own arm. As a blobby anglerfish sulks in another bucket, Ross smiles: "He was a lot easier to train than the fish."
Here, in the wet lab of the research ship Seward Johnson, Ross and other scientists are busy sorting, cataloguing, testing and observing a sampling of the life found deep underwater during a dive by the ship's deep-water submersible.
Ross, a researcher from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, was chief investigator on the two-week expedition in mid-June to study deep water coral colonies on the East Coast, from Florida to North Carolina.
The samples, photographs and videos collected by the group of 17 scientists and educators will help them establish baseline data about life in the deepest parts of the ocean, and how it interacts with plants and animals through the "water column" from the seabed to the surface.
The coral colonies are already known as great fishing spots for snapper and grouper, but there's little known about the interaction of species from the depths to the surface, or how they relate to ocean habitats around the world.
Deep sea exploration is becoming an increasing priority worldwide; the June edition of National Geographic magazine features similar research being done in the Monterey Canyon off the coast of California, and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution in Fort Pierce, Fla., which supplied the ship and submersible, will send another group of scientists to the Gulf of Mexico this summer.
For many years, the deepest part of the ocean was assumed to be barren — the cold, dark surroundings and immense water pressure inhospitable to life. Early attempts to study the area involved pulling up samples with nets and gave intriguing hints at what might be below.
The advent of submersibles, manned and unmanned, has allowed scientists to see the entire picture of life in deep water, and it's been surprisingly active and eye-catching when lit.
Many deep water invertebrates are bright red, a color that translates to black in the twilight below, said Kenneth Sulak, the team's co-principal investigator and a research fish biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey from Gainesville, Fla.
Other animals are gray, white or patterned to camouflage themselves among the corals. "It's a 'Twilight Zone' kind of pattern," Sulak said.
The coral beds themselves can be immense, as much as six to nine feet high and wide enough to fill a room.
The growing appreciation of the diversity of deep-sea life and how it interacts with the rest of the ocean's inhabitants is critical to understanding how deep-water fishing, oil exploration and the laying of fuel pipelines and communication cable are affecting these remote reaches.
"We're moving into progressively deeper and deeper sea operations in the world," Sulak said.
The data can also have a practical benefit if scientists discover plants or animals that can be used in food, medicine or other forms to help humans. There's also the potential that the slow-growing deep water corals can hold historical climate data, as do the rings of trees.
"We're trying to determine what role these systems play in overall ocean productivity. And that, of course, is a direct payoff potentially if you're talking about fisheries and other activities that take place in deep water," Ross said.
"But we should be interested in these habitats anyway, even if there's not going to be a direct monetary benefit, because we can't predict what the benefits of biodiversity are."
Ross and Sulak have been involved in collecting deep-sea data since the early 1990s, with this series of research on trophodynamics — or, in Ross's words, "who eats who" — beginning in 1999.
Each dive is photographed and videotaped — more than 56 hours of video were shot during 24 dives on this year's trip. "This is 3½ hours of very intense activity," Ross said. "We're seeing some of these animals in their habitat for the first time, so the video helps us see how they interact."
Ross notes that deep water corals grow slowly due to the lack of light, making mapping and preservation essential.
"Some of these deep water corals are hundreds of years old," he said. "Once they're damaged, these habitats don't recover, or they don't recover very quickly."

The video for "A Lot," 21 Savage's elegiac single, takes place at a formal dinner and party in a cloud-high mansion, a lavish and exuberant celebration of black wealth. But there's a moving sequence midway through that suggests trouble just beneath the surface.
The cuts are quick — warm shots of confident guests at the dinner table interspersed with darker scenes in which they're suffering: poor health, financial hardship, criminal past, abuse, death of a loved one. The message of the video isn't exactly that nothing is as it seems, but more that where you end up may be far from where you came from, and that success doesn't cure all obstacles.
When 21 Savage first emerged in 2015, he was a cold brutalist of a rapper whose verses verged on the dead-eyed. But just a few years on, he's taken a turn to the reflective. Later in the video, he added a ruminative new verse to the song, rapping, "Went through some things, but I couldn't imagine my kids stuck at the border," directly addressing the current administration's divisive immigration policies.
[Never miss a pop music story: Get our weekly newsletter, Louder.]
On Sunday, just a couple of days after that video's release, 21 Savage was arrested by agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which said he was in this country illegally and placed him into deportation proceedings. As of Wednesday afternoon, he remained in ICE custody.
Is 21 Savage American? By any measurement other than citizenship, yes. He was born She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph in England in 1992. According to Charles Kuck, one of his immigration attorneys, he came to the United States at age 7 and has been here continuously ever since, apart from a one-month period in 2005. He then re-entered the country on an H-4 visa, which expired in 2006, leaving him without legal status.
But the events of the last few days underscore the ways in which the hard power of government authority and soft power of online conversation can align in peculiar and insidious ways. As news began to spread on social media of 21 Savage's arrest on Sunday, the meme and joke ecosystem that uses trauma as oxygen went into overdrive, reacting with special intensity to the revelation that 21 Savage — one of the titans of Atlanta's rap scene — was in fact British. As the government put his relationship with this country in peril, thousands of people chirped in online to poke at the unlikeliness, and precariousness, of his situation.
That 21 Savage is in fact a British national is, ultimately, not particularly revelatory, or even meaningful. Foreign-born residents made up 13.7 percent of the United States population in 2017, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, published last year (which includes those in the country legally and illegally). Most of the humor turned on a high-society caricature understanding of England, and the dissonance of locating someone like 21 Savage — a seen-it-all stoicist with a dagger tattooed on his forehead — inside it. By and large, those people overlooked, or didn't think as far as, the more odious association: that of empire and colonization. (His mother's family hails from Dominica, a former British colony in the West Indies.)
His success, however, is especially American. Growing up in some of Atlanta's poorest communities, 21 Savage had a troubled childhood. He's said that he dropped out of school to sell drugs, and has spoken in interviews of a youth marked by violence and crime. But after losing a close friend and a brother to gun violence, he turned to rapping. And within a year, he was one of Atlanta's most promising prospects.
He's since worked with Drake, Cardi B and Post Malone. His 2017 debut album, "Issa Album," went gold, and his second studio album, "I Am > I Was," released in December, debuted at the top of the Billboard album chart. At this Sunday's Grammy Awards, 21 Savage is nominated in two categories.
He has also been maturing in the public eye — advocating for gun control, donating money to educate young people in Atlanta on financial literacy (an announcement made on Ellen DeGeneres's show, of all places), even walking alongside then-girlfriend Amber Rose in 2017 at her SlutWalk, a women's empowerment event, carrying a sign that read "I'm a Hoe Too."
This is the American promise, no? To start from nothing and turn it into a bounty. To receive a cruel hand and still emerge victorious.
And yet there is this other American promise, or threat, which is that all that comfort can be easily ripped away if it isn't achieved in the correct fashion.
In the case of 21 Savage, whose public image was built on a kind of impenetrable toughness mixed with weary resilience, this moment of vulnerability was destabilizing. Even in his most intimate music, he never presents as anything other than an agent of control.
But the immigration system is beyond his jurisdiction, even though, since becoming a public figure, he has taken steps to address his status. According to a statement released by his attorneys on Tuesday, in 2017 he applied for a U visa, which, according to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, can be issued by the government to crime victims "who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity." 21 Savage has said he was shot in 2013. The statement did not specify whether he cooperated with authorities.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that 21 Savage was arrested at the same time DeKalb County police arrested another rapper, Young Nudy, on unrelated charges. But 21 Savage was detained directly by ICE, Kuck said. 21 Savage also was convicted on felony drug charges in 2014. The conviction record was expunged in September 2018 as part of Georgia's first-offender program and the files have been sealed, according to Jacoby Hudson, who represented 21 Savage in the matter.
(Though expunged convictions have been used in deportation proceedings, 21 Savage would be eligible for removal simply for the overstayed visa.)
21 Savage is now among the highest-profile immigration detainees, his situation instantly becoming a flash point in national conversations about people living in this country without legal status, and in dialogues about the ways in which immigrants contribute to American society. A petition asking for his release started by Black Lives Matter has amassed over 200,000 signatures.
A star who built his own success, 21 Savage has in one fell swoop re-emerged as someone in need of protection. But in his recent music and public life, his identity was already becoming more complex and nuanced, delivering tales about the horrors of life at the bottom salted with a fresh understanding of just how slippery it can be at the top.

The party's over in Ciudad Juarez
Rubble lines the forlorn streets of Ciudad Juarez's historic center just across the Rio Grande and the sleek glass towers of El Paso, Texas in the distance. Huge piles of grey debris lie on the roadsides as dogs sniff in the ruins of the destroyed Vampiro nightclub, its pink concrete walls nothing but a mountain of steel and dust.
The desolate remains of buildings in the Mexican border city look like the place has been bombed. This is a war zone, the bloodiest front in Mexico's drug war where a staggering 5,500 people have died over the past 2-1/2 years. But there are no bombers flying over head.
In a desperate attempt to curb the killings, the local authorities, armed with menacing yellow bulldozers, are gradually demolishing the bars, hotels and brothels of the once famous Calle Mariscal and Avenida Juarez that officials say breed the drug crime that is terrorizing the city. The once elegant husk of a building where Frank Sinatra sang in the 1950s is slumped and dirty like an old cigarette end, but locals say it might still be saved, although no one can be sure.
Ciudad Juarez was once a fairly glamorous place, a kind of Las Vegas that boomed in the U.S. Prohibition era of the 1920s and early 1930s as it lured American film stars and singers to its famous Kentucky Club bar. Named after Benito Juarez, a 19th-century reformist president, the city is scattered with historic buildings and monuments that recall the intense fighting here during the Mexican Revolution between 1910 and 1920. Even as recently as three years ago, the city was packed with U.S. party goers and tourists looking for cheap tequila, prescription medicines and sex.
Ciudad Juarez was always a dangerous place, infamous for the unsolved killings of hundreds of young women in the 1990s. But now residents morbidly recount the drug murders on almost every corner. U.S. college students, off-duty national guard troops and day-trippers looking for a pair of leather cowboy boots do not dare step foot in the city. The Avenida Juarez is lined with abandoned pool saloons and boarded up windows, shuttered pawnshops and dentists and the padlocked gates of luxury strip bars.
Across town in an wealthy, American-style district of the manufacturing city that has mushroomed since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the pyramid-shaped Sphinx nightclub seems to sum up of Ciudad Juarez's demise.
A grand palace of pleasure with a golden pharaoh on its roof and kitsch hieroglyphic paintings in its entrance hall, the parking lot for 400 vehicles is filled with rubble and rubbish. Pigeons have nested above the door and sully the marble steps. A big sign hangs over its balcony: "For sale, hire or partnership, ideal for casino or other business." Ciudad Juarez is a gamble few investors are willing to take right now.

I've started looking at this from the industrial/factory side since that's such a big part of the Juarez economy, though I hear that the night life, tourist, and entertainment sectors are suffering.
Funny thing is that factories aren't leaving, and are in fact recovering despite the abysmal situation. But for how long, and to what extent? As the article mentions, investors are getting cold feet. I look into it more here: http://insurgentconsciousness.typepad.co m/insurgent_consciousness/2010/06/crime- a-hollow-state-and-industry-in-juarez.ht ml
This is so upsetting. It is good to see that reuters is taking an objective viewpoint unlike other media sources. No wonder their integrity is waning as cited by The committee for Media and Newspaper integrity.
http://www.newspaperintegrity.com/index. php
The industrial base of Juarez will soon fail as well. The businesses that have been destroyed by blackmail and threat will soon drive the greed of the Mexican drug mafia to squeeze the maquiladoras, and murder will soon follow as the desires of the mafioso psychopaths are not met with increasing vigorish. It is the nature of criminals to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. The only cure is for the goose to fight back with equal abandon and superior weapons.
Tireguy, I see where you are coming from with the grim prognosis, but brute force is not the only answer, nor do I think it is the answer at all.
Regardless of what you think of the Mexican armed forces, federal police, and local law enforcement, the MANY THOUSANDS of men they have deployed in Juarez are certainly collectively better armed, often (though not always) better trained, and clearly the superior force. Attempts to up the manpower have in the long run done nothing, and I doubt the problem is that Mexico isn't fighting the drug war hard enough- there seems to be at least one massive shootout most days, so the problem is neither the number of boots kicking down doors nor those boots kicking hard enough.
The problem seems to be that the cartels have information access superiority over the forces of order- they not only have better intelligence, but through members of the community, corrupt officials and officers, and their own clever system of moles and lookouts, can access information better and faster. You can't kill what you can't find or arrest who you can't convict. We explore this concept here: http://insurgentconsciousness.typepad.co m/insurgent_consciousness/information_ac cess_superiority-1/
As for how Juarez specifically can deal with criminality, I see something like John Robb's Resilient Communities springing up if the government cannot take care of business (http://www.typepad.com/services/trackba ck/6a00d83451576d69e200e55011db6f8834). Here, the community will begin providing for defense and social services independently of the government. That is how things have been getting done in unstable areas from Somalia to Jamaican slums.

I watched this video today on Le Love, which is one of my most favorite blogs. Definitely check it out if you enjoy cute pictures of love. This video, however, just made me smile. I admire people who have the patience and skill to create art with stop-motion.
Take the time to watch the whole video. I promise it will brighten your day!
On a separate note, I have been searching and searching for a summer job at the beach. I'm currently in the midst of writing a short story, which is a bit different than some of my other writing. I had hoped to have it done by the end of this week, but I've come down with a terrible case of writers block and don't know how to end the story!! But look for it soon. I feel it's best not to rush a story. I'll find the ending eventually.
Until then, my lovelies, take care and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Milk Tray UK TV Ad from the 80's. She must have been some lady!! 🙂
Milk Tray was responsible for one of the most famous and iconic advertising campaigns in British television history. Running from 1968 to 2003, the chocolate was then advertised by the Milk Tray Man a rough, tough action man perhaps modelled on James Bond who goes through hell and high water to surreptitiously deliver a box of Milk Tray chocolates to a woman. The strapline was All because the lady loves Milk Tray. There were 19 adverts in the series. Actor Gary Myers, who is most recognisable as the action figure, starred in 11 of them between 1968 and 1984. The music, The Night Rider, is written by Cliff Adams; who also wrote the music for Fry's Turkish Delight.

Mizzou Gymnastics Falls Just Short of LSU
COLUMBIA -- Missouri put up a 194.575 score for the second consecutive week against the LSU Tigers on Friday night in the Hearnes Center. LSU scored a 197.275 to win the meet, but several Missouri Tigers matched or set new career high scores at the meet. Freshman Miranda Eubank kicked off the record breaking with a 9.750 score on the vault, and Howard followed that up with a career high 9.850 on vault as well. Sophomore Rachel Updike took first on the balance beam with a career high 9.900 score for her routine.
Missouri put up a 48.675 team total on the vault, thanks to personal bests from Howard and Eubank. Updike also contributed to the team total with a 9.875, and Ostad recorded a 9.650 score on vault. Kappler led off the rotation, in her first of four events on the day, putting up a 9.550.
Missouri hit the bar rotation hard, sticking every routine for a 48.750 team total. Ostad led off the rotation with a 9.725 and Eubank followed up with a career-high 9.800 score. Mackenzie McGill continued the success with a 9.700, while Updike earned a 9.750 score. Medrea anchored the lineup with a 9.775.
The Tigers also performed well on the balance beam, looking confident and strong during their routines. Updike's routine took first with a 9.900 score, while Kappler again led off the rotation and scored a 9.775. Cathryn Aliceaacosta also hit her routine for a 9.750 score. Howard closed out the rotation earning a 9.775 for Mizzou.
Missouri shone on floor as usual, earning a 48.450 team score. The seniors led Mizzou on the event as Howard put up a season-high 9.875 for her routine and Ostad recorded a 9.825 score. Aliceaacosta's 9.800 score and Medrea's 9.775 also contributed to the team total. Kappler anchored the floor lineup at the meet, competing the all-around for the first time in her career. She finished with an all-around total of 38.175 on the night.
Mizzou will hit the road next week to face the Kentucky Wildcats. Next week's meet will be shown on ESPNU on Feb. 21 at 6:30 p.m.

Guide to American Thanksgiving in Whistler
Here in Whistler, we like to think we're extra lucky.
That's because we get to celebrate Thanksgiving not once, but twice. That means double the turkey, double the stuffing, and double the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you spend time with your favourite people.
Back in October, we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, which makes sense, given that Whistler is in Canada.
But it just so happens that plenty of Americans like Whistler quite a bit – and we're rather fond of them too. So, we get to celebrate Thanksgiving once again at the end of November!
If you're planning on coming up to Whistler for the American Thanksgiving Day weekend, here are a few of the things you can do to stay busy and celebrate.
Enjoy a Thanksgiving Feast
Just because you're away from home, doesn't mean you can't enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast! Many local restaurants put together a special menu for our visiting Americans complete with turkey, side dishes, and all the fixings. You can even plan ahead for a catered meal from the comfort of your home (or rental!).
Cheer on the Hawks
Though we cheer a little louder for hockey than football, we know that football holds a special place in the hearts of our American friends. Watch the Seattle Seahawks take on the San Francisco 49ers in good company at the Longhorn's special tailgate party on November 27. Yes, nachos are definitely on the menu!
Go Skiing
Come November 27, you'll have something extra to be thankful for: skiing! American Thanksgiving just so happens to coincide with the official opening day of the mountain, so be sure to tune your skis and snowboards and get a few turns in. Think of it as making a little extra room for all that pumpkin pie.
Celebrate Snow
The mountains are white, the trees in the Village are covered in Christmas lights, and it's mighty hard not to feel like you're in a real live snow globe in Whistler this time of year. Stoke your winter stoke by taking in Warren Miller's latest and greatest ski film – No Turning Back premieres at Millenium Place on November 29, with two shows: one at 5 PM, and another at 8 PM.
Get Bizarre
Athletes, artists, photographers, writers – there is no shortage of talent in Whistler. The Bizarre Bazaar showcases some of Whistler's most creative and talented folks. It's like a craft sale with a unique Whistler spin, only it's so much more than crafts. Expect edible treats, handmade winter wear, and items to please every person on your holiday shopping list. The Bizarre Bazaar takes place November 29 and 30 at the Whistler Conference Centre, and entry is by donation.
Try Your Hand at Nordic Skiing
Whether you're a lifelong fan of cross-country skiing or you're brand new to the sport, this just so happens to be the perfect weekend to check out Whistler's Nordic skiing scene. Head down to the Whistler Olympic Park in the Callaghan Valley – home to the Nordic skiing events of the 2010 Winter Olympics – and check out the first Teck Coast Cup race series of the season. These races are relatively short distances and are perfect for easing your way into the sport. If that sounds like too much, then you can still check out the free technique sessions in both classic and skate styles. It all takes place on November 30.

Gunfire on streets of Lebanon as army clashes with Islamist militants
Gunfire erupts in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli during ongoing clashes between the army and Islamist militants. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Clashes erupted between the Lebanese army and Islamist militants on Saturday following explosions and gunfire in the streets of the northern city of Tripoli. At least two militants were killed and six soldiers - including an officer - were wounded in previous clashes between the army and Islamic gunmen in Tripoli on Friday. It was not immediately clear which group the militants represented, or whether they were Lebanese or Syrian, but Syrian rebels and hardline Lebanese Sunni Islamists have regularly accused the Lebanese army of working with the Shi'ite movement Hezbollah, which has sent fighters to aid Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Tripoli has seen some of the worst spillover from Syria's conflict, which has strained sectarian relations in Lebanon and triggered periodic gun battles, bombings and kidnappings across the country. Tensions spiked over the summer when Islamist gunmen from Syria briefly seized the Lebanese border town of Arsal and clashed with the army, killing around 20 soldiers and withdrawing with hostages, many of whom are still being held.

In its 20th year, Folsom Street East returned to New York City on Sunday, June 18 to celebrate the fetish kink and LGBTQ communities. Sunday was Father's Day, and we never saw so many hot daddies in one place at one time! Even Dan Savage and his beau Terry Miller were there.
Hundreds of attendees gathered at the largest outdoor LGBTQ and allied kink-fetish festival on the East Coast. Folsom Street East, Inc. celebrates and inspires participation and pride in fetish, kink, and LGBTQ communities through the creation of safe spaces for public expression of our sexual identities. They also promote and provide grants to other nonprofit organizations serving these communities as well.
Folsom Street's mission statement includes:
- We envision a world where sexual self-discovery and fulfillment is supported by an environment that is safe, sane and affirming.
- We envision a world where access to a diversity of fetish/kink community spaces is expanded and fear of stigma and negative repercussions are diminished.
- We envision a world where all people are empowered to challenge sexual norms and embrace and add to a broad spectrum of sexual identities and expressions.
Sounds fabulous to us!
Folsom Street East's Street Festival welcomes practitioners, novices and their friends who are interested in the fetish world to publicly explore the otherwise suppressed side of their sexuality and identity.
The festival hosts more than forty exhibitors including community groups and commercial businesses that serve our community.
The faces of Folsom Street East are very diverse and proud. We scoured Instagram to bring you some of the best snaps from the fun-filled day. From leather daddies to sub pups to dom divas, there really is something for everyone at Folsom Street East. Don't believe us? See for yourself.
Take a look at these 25 pics from Folsom Street East:

We're finally at the final post of the series on refactoring the WordPress Widget Boilerplate. By the end of this post, we'll have the development branch of our code done, and we'll be ready to merge everything into the master branch.
There is, however, still a bit of work to do. Namely:
The last thing we're going to look at after this is tightening up some of the conditional logic along with a word about caching data (since we're already doing a bit of that in earlier posts).
So those are the two things we're going to be looking at in this post. Specifically, we're going to look at handling conditional logic for the front-end and then how to implement basic caching.

Search TODS
enter search term and/or author name
Approved October 5, 2004
Won Kim regularly invited some SIGMOD papers for submission to TODS. When Rick Snodgrass came on board as EiC, he asked the EB which conferences were the best, and they replied SIGMOD, VLDB, PODS, EDBT, ICDT, ICDE, in roughly that order. VLDB already had a relationship with VLDBJ and ICDE with TKDE. Rick Snodgrass then negotiated with the four other conferences, realizing cooperative arrangements that provides roughly 10 submissions a year, most of which are eventually accepted, most after a major revision. (Note that EDBT and ICDT are every other year.) These arrangements are documented in other policies: SIGMOD, EDBT, ICDT, and PODS.
In a subsequent discussion in September 2004, it was strongly felt by the EB that the "invitation mode" should be reserved for a very small number of the very best first-rate conferences (no workshops, no second-tier conferences, and no specialized conferences). While invited papers are also fully reviewed, "invitation" still implies that there is an initial expectation that there is a higher probability that the paper will be accepted, and so reflects recognition from TODS of the quality of the conference. It was felt that it would weaken TODS to be associated with anything but the top conferences that cover databases in a broad sense of the term. It was also emphasized that any author of any paper can always submit a paper to TODS, so this policy does not limit submissions.
This policy allows two kinds of invited papers. The first is a paper that appears in SIGMOD, PODS, EDBT, or ICDT that is vetted by the stated procedure for that conference, and subsequently invited for submission to TODS. Such papers are handled in a specified way (e.g., some of the reviewers were the original reviewers of the conference submission, all reviewers are notified that the paper was invited). If and when these papers are accepted, they generally appear in a special section or issue.
The second kind is an ad hoc invited paper. Any Associate Editor can encourage the author of work that AE respects, or of a conference paper that AE admires, to submit a follow-on paper to TODS. Such submissions are handled as regular submissions, with no special consideration whatsoever.

The prez-elect electrified the newswires yesterday when word leaked he plans to issue an executive order during his first week in office -- and maybe his first day -- officially shutting down the detention camps at Guantánamo Bay.
But before you start planning those Gitmo V-Day parades, Obama sounded a more cautious note this morning. Miami's favorite international disgrace to the south isn't actually going to close anytime soon, no matter what orders Obama tosses off on his first afternoon in the Oval Office.
The problem, as Riptide has pointed out in the past, is all of those damn prisoners. There are 248 left in Guantánamo, and Obama has to figure out what to do with them. "[Closing the camp] is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize," Obama told ABC News. He called the prospect of closing it within his first 100 days "a challenge."

According to the New York Times, it might take a full year to find new homes for all the prisoners.
Some will be shipped to other countries. (More than 100 nations have already told President Bush to shove off, but Obama is hopeful they might be more receptive to his pleas since they don't, you know, despise him.) Some will be taken to the States for trial.
Either way, it's likely Obama will put a halt to the military tribunals at Gitmo. Which means the next case on the docket -- that of Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen who was 15 years old when he was wounded and taken prisoner in Afghanistan -- probably won't happen.
"[Obama's] position is that [the military tribunals] are a complete and utter failure," Mark Denbeaux, a detainee lawyer, told the Times.

What are Oreos without their delightfully sweet cream fillings? Not very good, that's for sure. It's like taking the fatty strips out of bacon, or serving toast without butter. It just isn't as good as it's supposed to be.
However, physicist, artist, and copywriter David Neevel disagrees–at least on the part about Oreo and the cream, because he's built an Oreo Separator Machine (OSM) that'll take the cream out of every cookie sandwich within its de-creaming midst. Neevel doesn't have anything against the cream, however, because he built his machine as part of Nabisco's Cookie vs. Cream campaign.
Hit the break to watch his OSM in action!
