For money management firms such as Wilmington Trust Advisors in Baltimore, the most exciting item in the highly anticipated budget recently released by the government of India's new prime minister, Narendra Modi, is the increase in debt financing that it calls for.
India has not been a huge issuer of bonds and as such, it is a very small part of emerging market indexes. Now that the government not only wants to use more bonds to finance India's budget deficit, but has also raised the cap on how much of that debt foreign investors are allowed to hold, it's clear that bond fund managers will be increasing their allocation to India, said Clem Miller, portfolio manager at Wilmington Trust Advisors, not least because "there is a lot of room for India to be able to grow its foreign debt without impinging too much on serving that debt. India has the flexibility to borrow more, and for us, that means there'll be more opportunities for bond funds like outs to buy Indian bonds."
Miller isn't just expecting an increase in Indian government debt. The new budget also has provisions that would increase bond issuance by Indian banks and corporates "so there's a big future in the Indian debt markets," he said.
What's particularly interesting to many investors across the globe is that Indian banks will now be allowed to issue special infrastructure bonds with a minimum seven-year maturity, and these instruments will be exempt from banks' reserve requirements.
The move creates a real incentive for infrastructure financing, India's greatest impasse, Miller said, and the albatross that has been hanging around its neck for years now. It's no secret that India is a real laggard when it comes to infrastructure, and is in serious need of revamping and upgrading just about everything from power grids to bridges, roads and ports.
The government of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had greatly disappointed in terms of infrastructure financing and numerous projects were either frozen or shelved. While it's going to take a while for the new infrastructure bonds to come to market, there's no doubt that they're going to be an attractive option to both banks as well as investors, Miller said, and they will start to address the huge infrastructure challenge India faces.
The new budget has also earmarked $25 billion for infrastructure investment across all sectors, an amount "that may seem like a drop in the ocean for such a huge economy as India, but it's certainly a start and shows that things are clearly moving in the right direction," Miller said. But even if that's the case, infrastructure is still a colossal challenge for India, and for investors like Rajeev De Mello, head of Asian fixed income at Schroders in Singapore, the new budget will enable but a tiny improvement, if that at all.
De Mello is particularly concerned about the 2% of India's GDP that's still dedicated to subsidies in various areas. These, he said, will "make it difficult to finance a large infrastructure roll out."
While the implementation of existing initiatives and "a reduction in red tape" might help speed up investment decisions and project realization, De Mello said he's nevertheless "disappointed" by the budget overall.
"When I read the headline deficit number at 4.1%, it appears good," he said, "however, to get to the 4.1%, the plan is expecting a significant increase in revenues to the tune of 19.7% — and that despite some tax cuts. In addition, asset sales are expected to bring 0.7% of GDP, but these would be one-off inflows."
While the budget does have some good initiatives, such as a medium-term target of 3% for the deficit and higher foreign direct investment caps for foreigners in the defense and insurance sectors, "I was also disappointed at the lack of faster subsidy reduction, which are budgeted at 2% of GDP, [while] public investment remains low," De Mello said.
Miller, though, believes that reducing subsidies in areas like food and fuel – common challenges in many emerging market nations around the world – is a very difficult thing to do in a place like India, where there's so much of poverty still. India, which is still largely agricultural, is also heavily dependent upon the Monsoon rains, he said, and "if there's a bad monsoon, the government has to spend."
Overall, though, "this budget is a great start, even though the new prime minister, like any new leader, has to live to a certain extent by the budget of the previous administration," Miller said. "The targets are clearly in place and it's just a matter of seeing how India gets them done."

Madagascar 3 was the film this weekend and we thought we'd give it a go.
I'll tell you, we DO go to the movies, but we spend a lot of time going SHHHHHHH SHHHHHHHH SHHHHHHH and taking one or the other twin OUT if necessary and that's at the cheapie theater.
We don't DO first run. Because oh hell if we paid $100 bucks between admission and snack and it was a nightmare, oh hell no.
But the MOVIE GRILL in Alpharetta sent a notice to our autism group that special needs kids and their siblings were free and adults $5 so HEY CHEAP MOVIE.
It's a bit of a drive over there, but it was actually a PERFECT set up for kids who need structure, sitting at tables facing directly forward - no aisle in front of you to tempt you to get up and run up and down. We had cokes and popcorn and it was awesome. So THANK YOU MOVIE GRILL.
The kids were all variously loud, but they were also kids, they laughed when it was funny (CIRCUS AFRO CIRCUS AFRO) and were quiet sometimes too. Honestly, I didn't even NOTICE the noise of the other kids - maybe I'm numb to it these days.

Looking for a job in biology? See who's hiring in our classified ads.
Pursuing a career in biology can be immensely rewarding and exciting. Studying biology teaches us to ask questions, make observations, evaluate evidence, and solve problems. Biologists learn how living things work, how they interact with one another, and how they evolve. They may study the evolution, natural history, and conservation of plants and animals; investigate the interactions of living organisms with light, the environment, or each other; or have careers in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or medical research. Their work increases our understanding about the natural world in which we live and helps us address issues of personal well being and worldwide concern, such as environmental degradation, threats to human health, and maintaining viable and abundant food supplies.
In general, there are several career paths you can follow as a biologist, including:
Research: Research biologists study the natural world, using the latest scientific tools and techniques in both laboratory settings and the natural environment, to understand how living systems work. Many work in exotic locations around the world, and what they discover increases our understanding of biology and may be put to practical use to find solutions to specific problems. Learn more about the wide variety of research interests by visiting the websites of AIBS Member Societies and Organizations.
Health care: Biologists may develop public health campaigns to defeat illnesses such as tuberculosis, AIDS, cancer, and heart disease. Others work to prevent the spread of rare, deadly diseases, such as the now infamous Ebola virus. Veterinarians tend to sick and injured animals, and doctors, dentists, nurses, and other health care professionals maintain the general health and well being of their patients. Many of these careers require additional education and training past undergraduate college, but these positions are usually in high demand both in the US and abroad. Additionally, biologists in the health care field can choose to work for organizations like the Peace Corps and Doctors Without Borders, which help bring much-needed health care services to less developed and/or war-impacted regions.
Environmental management and conservation: Biologists in management and conservation careers are interested in solving environmental problems and conserving the natural world for future generations. Park rangers protect state and national parks, help preserve their natural resources, and educate the general public. Zoo and aquarium biologists carry out endangered species recovery programs and serve as a vital education conduit to the general public. In addition, management and conservation biologists often work with members of a community such as landowners and special interest groups to develop and implement management plans. Other potential employment opportunities may exist with state/federal natural resource agencies, not-for-profit conservation organizations, private ecological consulting firms, or wildlife rehabilitation centers.
Education: Life science educators enjoy working with people and encouraging them to learn new things, whether in a classroom, a research lab, the field, or a museum. You can gain insight into what biology education professionals are working toward and achieving by visiting the AIBS Education Programs Office, where you will find updates on institutional reform efforts, information on new and exciting ways of teaching biological concepts, and novel resources for biology classroom education.
Other directions in biological careers: There are many careers for biologists who want to combine their scientific training with interests in other fields. Here are some examples:
If you are interested in becoming a biologist, there are some things you can do along the way to prepare yourself.
In high school
In college
There are many universities with strong biology programs. There is no "best" college to study biology. If you are considering a biology degree, search for a school that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle. Large research universities offer broad course work, a variety of specialized concentrations, and many opportunities for independent research. However, there is often strong competition for such opportunities at these institutions, as well as larger class/lab sizes with less individualized attention. Smaller colleges allow for small class sizes, individualized instruction, and frequent interaction with professors. At the same time, smaller schools may have less diverse course offerings and fewer opportunities for financially supported research. In general, there are several key elements that make up a solid biology program at a college or university:
Faculty diversity and experience
Commitment to undergraduate education
Research opportunities for undergraduates
While there will always be a need for bright, energetic, and educated individuals with a strong understanding of biology, opportunities vary depending on the status of local and national economies. For current job outlook information, check the Occupational Outlook Handbook, published every two years by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This online handbook is searchable by occupation group (including Life, Physical, and Social Science) and includes information on median pay, job outlook, minimum required education, and more.
Job growth is expected in a number of areas, biotechnology and molecular biology in particular. Business leaders have begun to address the issue of creating more science and technology jobs in the United States to prevent them from being exported. For more information, take a look at the report (in PDF format) Tapping America's Potential: Gaining Momentum, Losing Ground, a 2008 progress report following the initial 2005 report, Tapping America's Potential: The Education for Innovation Challenge. You may also want to read Engage to Excel: Producing One Million Additional College Graduates with Degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, a report presented by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). An Eye on Education column in the July 2012 issue of Bioscience speaks to the report's findings in the context of the importance of two-year colleges.
Also, the number of openings in federal government agencies charged with managing natural resources, such as the Interior and Agriculture Departments and the Environmental Protection Agency, is expected to grow; see the report (in PDF format) Federal Natural Resources Agencies Confront an Aging Workforce and Challenges to Their Future Roles. These openings will become available as many senior-level biologists and life scientists retire in the coming years.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers 2012 Salary Survey reported a median starting salary of $38,300 for graduates with a bachelor's degree in the biological/life sciences, up from $37,900 in 2011. Data from the 2012 Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook show that 2010 median starting salaries for positions in the life sciences ranges from $33,000 (Food Science Technician or Forest Conservation Technician with an Associate's degree) to $55,000 (Forensic Scientist or Zoologist/Wildlife Biologist with a Bachelor's degree) to upwards of $70,000 (Biochemists and Biophysicists with Doctoral degrees). Keep in mind that salaries may vary greatly depending on geographic location, job type, and the experience and education required for entry-level positions.
Higher salaries are often found in private research companies and government agencies, where you may have more job security, advancement opportunities, and independence in your work. While jobs in nonprofit groups or academic institutions may have lower salaries, many biologists find great personal reward in working for an organization that is affecting change and has an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration
If you think there's one type of person who becomes a biologist, think again. All kinds of people with diverse talents are drawn to careers in biology, for many reasons. Get to know a few and you'll see. Here are links to profiles of biologists in a variety of fields who come from a wide range of backgrounds:
The AIBS monthly journal BioScience has often published articles relevant to biology careers.

In World War One, posters were one of the most important means of spreading propaganda. Nations were personified by women, such as Britannia: epitomes of morality, virtue, innocence and justice. This appeal to Britain's women by the Imperial Maritime League to ensure their men enlist complements the male action required by Kitchener's 'Your country needs you!' poster. The home meant security, to be protected from German aggression at all costs. Those who refused to do so would be spurned by sweethearts, and face accusation and recrimination (as in another poster, 'What did YOU do in the Great War, Daddy?').
But women's standard roles were being blurred by wartime demands. In propaganda they are gentle, vulnerable home-makers, both objects of men's affections and victims of barbarous enemy acts – and yet also as resilient, active participants in the war effort. They work at the front, and go to factories making munitions – active roles, compromising traditionally expected behaviour of future caring mothers. Suffragettes seized on this to argue that women active in the war effort were more worthy of citizenship than male pacifists or conscientious objectors.
New gender roles seemed possible. The Editor of Women of the Empire foresaw a more peaceful world, run on women's terms. The reality proved more complex than any imagined, but the status of women had fundamentally changed, and would undergo further upheavals during the second major conflict of the 20th century.

Matter of Life and Death, A (1946)
CategoriesDrama Free Classic Movies War WWII
If you haven't, you should watch A Matter of Life and Death. It was released in the US under the title of Stairway to Heaven. It's a charming story about a pilot who dies after being shot down in a plane and whether love can save him. It's got David Niven and a very cute Kim Hunter. This is a charming story. One interesting thing is that like the Wizard of Oz, it's shot in color and black and white, but the scenes on Earth are in color and heaven is in black and white..

This is literally my third attempt at this post. Not sure why it doesn't work - perhaps because I put links in the post? Hopefully it works this time! ...The momo challenges got me thinking about this and I started exploring the topic to get some information. I hope you'll share your thoughts on it as well. I wrote a piece on how police use social media to fight crimes and came up with 5 ways they do. It's interesting because while we're scrolling over facebook posts of cats; there is law enforcement using Facebook to catch criminals. Here's the five ways I came up with....(p.s sorry it's written in essay form, I'm a student so that's the easiest write I can write my thoughts).
1.Protecting citizens from danger: In a 2016 Law Enforcement Use of Social Media Survey conducted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and Urban Institute, 91% of the 539 law enforcement agencies reported that they use social media to notify the public of safety concerns. More than 80% of the agencies who use social media utilize it as a way of engaging with the public and notifying people of dangers (some of which are non-crime issues like emergency info, and road closures). For example, on Aug 3rd 2018, the Toronto Police twitter page informed Torontians about the location of an unidentified package in the busy streets of Toronto, thereby letting the public know to avoid the area until the threat was destabilized. Another example is the polices use of twitter on the tragic shooting that took place on August 10th in Fredericton, New Brunswick. While the shooting was active, Fredericton Police were quick to inform the public via Twitter updates about the dangers in the area and warned residents to remain inside their homes until the threat was over.
2.Using social media to gain evidence and uncover details in a case: In line with the 2016 National American survey, the Joffe Law firms blog explains that police use Facebook and Twitter to gain evidence for court. Facebook can be used to identify suspects, obtain incriminating information, solicit tips on crimes, and find key details in pending cases. Police can legally create fake accounts to communicate with suspects and can even access private accounts if its for good cause. In some cases, police dont have to work too hard to find suspects: in Milwaukee, Jeffrey S. Kirk was arrested by police, after broadcasting his drug dealings on Facebook Live.
3.Locating victims, or suspects in a crime: In an article by the University of Cincinnati, the author explains that social media is a vital tool for spreading Amber Alerts rapidly, and locating criminals on the loose. Emily Vacher, former FBI agent and director of Trust and Safety at Facebook, quoted in an article on News.com.au explains: Speed is critical [for saving childrens lives]. Research indicates that of those children who are going to be killed, 75 per cent will be killed in the first four hours. Ms. Vacher goes on to say that lives have been saved by police officials using Facebook to share amber alerts.
4.Using apps to their advantage: Most people by now have heard of Waze (a navigation app that happens to alert users where police are doing speed traps). Some police officials are now using the same app to engage with the public. For example, CBC Boston reported in Pelham, that N.H; police officers used the Waze app to let users know of their presence at a local speed trap, reminding users to watch their speed and drive safely. It sends a message to users that law enforcement is on top of new technology that is being used against them. It also reminds us that police officials enforce these rules to save our lives. Just as police officers are aware of Waze; they remain vigilant of other popular apps including those that are dangerous for the public, particular children.
5.Public engagement: The 2016 National American survey on law enforcement use of social media reports that close to 90% of the police agencies who participated in the survey reported using social media for citizen engagement, public relations, reputation management, and community outreach. In an article by the University of Cincinnati, social media is explained as valuable way to introduce new officers to the team, highlight achievements, pay tribute to deceased colleagues, encourage interest in law enforcement careers, post vacancies in the department, and invite the community to public events (e.g. the police parade). This humanizes the police force and creates a bond between citizens and police officers trust and faith in our police department is vital. If citizens feel protected, they will feel more inclined to report crimes and engage police on important matters.
While police officers are using social media as tool in law enforcement, it's good to note that some private investigation agencies are also up-to-date on the latest technologies. For example, the private investigation agency, Haywood Hunt and Associates Inc (www.haywoodhunt.ca) has a section of their website dedicated to social media services such as: Online & In Depth Social Media Research, Public Database Inquiries, Digital Footprint Investigations, Fact Finding and Vetting, Online Activity Monitoring, Asset Tracking, Accessing Deleted Information, Surveillance, and Location Tracking. These types of agencies utilize social media in their investigations and surveillance in similar ways that police officials do. Together, law enforcement continues its fight against crime by adapting to new technologies as they become available.
So this is my thoughts on it, and I hope someone will share their opinions as well. Do you think it's a good thing that law enforcement can use social media?

SYDNEY (AP) -- A powerful earthquake in the South Pacific generated a tsunami Wednesday that prompting warnings to several island nations.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said a tsunami of .9 meters (3 feet) was measured in Lata wharf, in the Solomon Islands. No damage was immediately reported there or in Vanuatu, which also was covered by the warning.
The statement said the waves could be destructive near the epicenter and threaten more distant coasts.
The tsunami formed after a 8.0-magnitude earthquake near near Lata in Temotu province, the easternmost province of the Solomons, about a 3-hour flight from the capital, Honiara. The region has a population of around 30,000 people.
In Honiara, the warning prompted residents to flee for higher ground.
"People are still standing on the hills outside of Honiara just looking out over the water, trying to observe if there is a wave coming in," said George Herming, a spokesman for the prime minister. So far, he had received no reports that a wave had been observed in Honiara.
Atenia Tahu, who works for the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp. in Honiara, said most people were remaining calm.
"People around the coast and in the capital are ringing in and trying to get information from us and the National Disaster Office and are slowly moving up to higher ground," Tahu said. "But panic? No, no, no, people are not panicking."
The tsunami warning also covered Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, Wallis and Futuna. A tsunami watch is in effect for American Samoa, Australia, New Zealand and eastern Indonesia.
An official at the disaster management office in neighboring Vanuatu said there were no reports of damage or injuries there.
More than 50 people were killed and thousands lost their homes in April 2007 when a magnitude 8.1 quake hit the western Solomon Islands, sending waves crashing into coastal villages.
The Solomons comprise more than 200 islands with a population of about 552,000 people. They lie on the "Ring of Fire" - an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim and where about 90 percent of the world's quakes occur.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck 81 kilometers (50 miles) west of Lata, at a depth of 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles). The warning area does not include Hawaii and North and South America.

Feng Shui and Fashion
The "Five Elements" is the name that Feng Shui principles give to the colors, shapes, and textures around you. The Elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and each has a characteristic color, shape, and attributes. For example, if you need to feel stable and grounded, wear the browns and yellows of the Earth Element. If you want to feel exciting and dramatic, wear the passionate reds and oranges of the Fire Element.
Here is a detailed list of the colors, patterns, fabrics, and shapes the represent each Feng Shui Element.
If you are involved in social or communication-related activities or want to feel dramatic, wear the Fire Element.
Colors: Red, orange, purple
Patterns: Pointed designs, animal prints
Fabrics: Satin and shiny textures
Shapes: Angular and form fitting
If you are involved in the community or family-oriented activities or want to feel stable, grounded, and essential, wear the Earth Element.
Colors: Brown, yellow, terra cotta
Patterns: Checks, plaids
Fabrics: Tweed, flannel, textured
Shapes: Boxy
If you are involved with cultural activities or want to feel elegant and stand apart, wear the Metal Element.
Colors: White, pastel, metallic
Patterns: Round, dots, scrolls
Fabrics: Polished, glittery, shiny
Shapes: Curvy
If you are involved in artistic, intellectual, and spiritual activities, or want to feel elegant and project strength, wear the Water Element.
Colors: Black, navy, deep blue
Patterns: Wavy, paisley, abstract
Fabrics: Sheer, chiffon, velvet
Shapes: Flowing
If you are involved in health-related or athletic activities or want to feel energized and active, wear the Wood Element.
Colors: Green, blue
Patterns: Vertical patterns and stripes
Fabrics: Cotton, linen, ribbed fabrics
Shapes: Columnar shapes
Do you have a favorite color you love wearing? Here are some examples of how the color you wear sends a message about you:
*Red is the ideal color when you want to draw attention to yourself. Wear red when you speak in public or want to stand out from the crowd. Avoid red if you are nervous or are self-conscious.
*Pink is the color of romance and fun. Wear pink if you want to resolve a situation with a loved one, because it is soothing and helps dissolve feelings of anger.
*Yellow conveys stability so you can wear it when you have an important decisions to make, but avoid yellow when you are feeling tired or it might drain your energy levels.
*Green projects growth and development. This is a great color to wear when learning new skills, taking classes, or when you need to be energized. Avoid wearing green when you are restless because it is a stimulating color.
*Brown is a grounding and comforting color that you can wear if you feel scared or insecure. Brown makes you feel safe, but avoid wearing it when dealing with stubborn people.
*Black conveys authority and power, and promotes a sense of depth and strength. Wear black if you need to command leadership or exude mystery. Black makes you stand apart from the crowd, so avoid wearing it when you need to be seen as an equal.
Remember, when it comes to Feng Shui and fashion, you are what you wear.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers (CO2)
CO2 extinguishers are ideal for places with a lot of electrical equipment such as offices or server rooms because they are safe to use on fires involving electrical apparatus. Carbon dioxide extinguishers do not leave any residue, unlike a foam extinguisher. They can also be used on Class B fires, those involving flammable liquids such paraffin or petrol.

Foam Fire ExtinguishersQuick View
Foam extinguishers
Foam fire extinguishers can be used on Class A and B fires. They are most suited to extinguishing liquid fires such as petrol or diesel and are more versatile than water jet extinguishers because they can also be used on solids such as wood and paper. The foam extinguishes liquid fires by sealing the surface of the liquid, preventing flammable vapour reaching the air and starving the fire of fuel. They are not suitable for use on free flowing liquid fires.

Michael Chandler (7-0 MMA, 4-0 BFC) and Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (9-1 MMA, 2-0 BFC) will determine Bellator Fighting Championships' season-four lightweight tourney champion at Bellator 44.
Bellator brass officially announced the two lightweight prospects will square off at the May 14 event, which takes place at New Jersey's Caesars Atlantic City and airs on MTV2.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported the planned date this past week.
A former All-American wrestler at Missouri, Chandler made his MMA debut in August 2009. He earned three stoppage wins, including two under the Strikeforce banner, to open his career before signing with Bellator in 2010.
In Bellator's season-four tourney, Chandler opened with a quarterfinal win over Marcin Held via first-round submission before grinding his way to a decision victory over a game Lloyd Woodard at this month's Bellator 40 event.
Meanwhile, Freire earned his booking with a spectacular flying-knee knockout of Toby Imada at Bellator 39. The brother of Bellator featherweight contender Patricio "Pitbull" Freire, Patricky also earned a stoppage in his Bellator debut with a third-round knockout of "Razor" Rob McCullough.
The winner of Chandler vs. Freire will face Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez later this year. Both fighters are competing for the third time in a nine-week span, but Freire will have the benefit of six-weeks' rest since his semifinal contest, while Chandler took just five.
For more on Bellator 44, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Yesterday was Halloween. Parties also raged all weekend, and even adults dressed up in funny costumes. Some of them ate candy and other drank booze. And in Germany, one 42-year-old man dressed as Yoda got arrested—probably because the Force was not with him.
And also because he got in a traffic accident—a hit and run involving a pedestrian. After the minor collision, which thankfully did not seriously injure the pedestrian, the 42-year-old Yoda-costume-wearing man took off. He was nabbed by German police within minutes.
"The officers were especially surprised to see...Grand Master Yoda at the wheel," said the statement from police (via Agence France-Presse) in the city of Darmstadt, near Frankfurt in western Germany.
The police brought Yoda to the station and took his license as well as a blood sample. Without a license, Yoda had to hoof it home on foot. Walk, you must.

Product description
- A very popular, classic ESP model, with absolutely professional features and an outstanding price-quality relation.
- Finish: See Thru Black Cherry, with black nickel hardware.
- Body: Mahogany.
- Top: Quilted maple - with an amazing look of a really rare, perfect, exceptional 3D-quality - please see the pictures - however, they can hardly demonstrate the deep and beauty of the quilt at all: In reality, the instrument's top looks even much more spectacular. Many other major guitar manufacturers would ask about the cost of this whole instrument, alone as an upcharge for a top of comparable quality.
- Neck: Mahogany. Set neck construction. This enables a very good sustain, an easy access to the upper frets, and of course a full, "fat" tone.
- Scale: 24.75" - like Gibson Les Paul, SG, Explorer etc., i.e. a 2 cm shorter scale than for instance a Stratocaster, resulting in better playability even with thicker string gauges.
- Fretboard: Rosewood, with ESP Custom "Flag" inlays.
- Frets: 22, XJ (Jumbo) - with a perfect fretjob, another famous feature of ESP instruments.
- Nut: 42 mm (Standard).
- Headstock: ESP Eclipse-Style - in the classic black finish.
- Bindings: White, overall (body, neck and headstock). A discreet but very noble looking instrument!
- Tuners: Gotoh Magnum locking tuners. Always requested by professional artists, these tuners are a must-have for the demanding musician. The key to their design is eliminating wraps around the string post, which can cause string slippage and tuning problems. Gotoh's unique design automatically locks the string to the shaft while winding the tuning key (tuning to pitch) – better tuning stability and no more restringing nightmares.
- Bridge: Non-tremolo, orig. Gotoh Tune-o-matic with stoptail. Lots of sustain and helps to stay in tune, as well.
- Pickups: EMG 81/81 active humbuckers. This classic Metallica combination is very versatile, provides lots of gain for aggressive sounds, fits well for downtuning and is absolutely quiet, due to its active design. Also available with EMG 81/60 or EMG 81/85, please just inquire.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
- Electronics: 2x Volume, 2x Tone, 3-way toggle switch.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes in a high-quality original ESP Eclipse Series formfit hardcase with ESP logo.

I feel like there should be some sort of Real Kids spin off show within the Real Housewives franchise, because it seems like a lot of them have inherited a penchant from drama from their reality TV mothers and there others who have taken things even further with legal troubles and other controversies.
The Real Housewives kids have caused a lot of trouble over the years…from DUIs to public hair pulling to domestic violence accusations. There have been plenty of headlines about these reality star kids – thanks to their mothers' fame – throughout the years.

Movie Inception Preview
Inception is a 2010 American science fiction action film written, produced and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy. The film, essentially a caper movie, centers on Dom Cobb, a thief who enters the dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible. His abilities have cost him coveted things, but a second chance allows the situation to be turned around. However, when an unforeseen enemy predicts Cobb's every move, Cobb and his team of specialists are forced to plant an idea in a target's subconscious. The film's title refers to the task of planting an idea rather than stealing one, a concept that Cobb is less acquainted with.
Development of Inception began roughly ten years before the film's actual release when Nolan wrote an 80-page treatment about dream-stealers. After presenting the idea to Warner Bros. in 2001, he felt that he needed to have more experience with large scale films. Therefore, Nolan opted to work on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. He spent six months polishing up the film's script before Warner Bros. purchased it in February 2009. Filming began in Tokyo on June 19, 2009 and finished in Canada in late November of the same year.
Inception was officially budgeted at $160 million, a cost which was split between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. Nolan's reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film $100 million in advertising expenditure. Inception premiered in London on July 13, 2010 and was released in both conventional and IMAX screens, on July 16, 2010. The film was met with positive reviews, and grossed over $21 million on its opening day, with an opening weekend gross of $62.7 million.

Plymouth - August 1, 2013 - When the Plymouth Whalers open the 2013 pre-season schedule on Saturday, August 31 at 7 pm against Windsor at Eddie Edgar Ice Arena in Livonia, a heartfelt and inspiring back story will take center stage in a big way.
One hundred percent of the proceeds generated in the game benefit the Livonia Fallen Heroes Memorial at the Larry Nehasil Park in Livonia.
Eddie Edgar Arena is located at 33841 Lyndon in Livonia. Tickets for the game go on sale today and run $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Livonia Police Department (734-466-2470), Compuware Arena (734-453-8400), Eddie Edgar Ice Arena (734-427-1280), Livonia Chamber of Commerce (734-427-2122) and the Livonia Community Recreation Center (734-466-2900).
"We're very excited here, not only with the (Livonia) police department, but the fire department and the entire city organization," said Livonia Police Chief Curtis Caid. "We really appreciate the support of the Plymouth Whalers and their organization in bringing the game to Eddie Edgar Arena for our benefit. We're truly honored that the Whalers and the Spitfires are willing to play a game here in Livonia and for this cause."
The Larry Nehasil Park and the Livonia Fallen Heroes Memorial were created as a memorial to the service of late police officers Larry Nehasil, Ervin Johnston, James Kelley and Sidney Dethloff and fireman Gary Kreski. Ground breaking for the project happened on July 17, with the anticipated completion sometime during the summer of 2014.
Fans attending the game will have a direct effect on the completion of the project. Livonia businesses are also stepping up to support the game. Livonia Dermatology – located on Farmington Road, across from the Livonia Police station – is the presenting sponsor for the game.
"The game between the Whalers and Spitfires is going to stimulate growth for the park and the monument – all through donations," said Caid. "No city or taxpayer funds will be used. An event like this game is critical for the success of the park."
"Livonia is in close proximity to Windsor, so we're excited to have Spitfire fans in Livonia cheering for their team."
Although Eddie Edgar Arena has a long history of hosting high school hockey and is the home of the Livonia Hockey Association, the Plymouth-Windsor preseason game is the first Ontario Hockey League game for the facility.
"We're very excited about this game," said Justin Feldman, Eddie Edgar Ice Arena manager. "It's a great opportunity for Nehasil Park and the Fallen Heroes Memorial Fund. When we were approached to host the game, we were very excited to get on board to hopefully help them out. We anticipate a good turnout and that the game will be a success."
The Whalers will participate in a meet-and-greet for fans after the game and there will be raffles for prizes before and during the game.
This season is the fifth year Plymouth has opened the pre-season schedule in a local rink. The Whalers played in Brighton in 2009, Chelsea in 2010, Farmington in 2011 and Wyandotte last year

Revision as of 04:26, 22 January 2013
Fedora Static Analysis Special Interest Group (SIG)
(Note that this SIG is merely tentative for now)
Goal and Scope
dmalcolm is interested in making it easy to run static code analysis tools on all of Fedora, and having a sane system for getting useful information from the firehose of data that doing so is likely to generate. See http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-December/175232.html
See also the Formal Methods SIG with which there's clearly an overlap.
Mission and Plan
- Dave Malcolm
- Richard W.M. Jones
- Josh Bressers
- Alek Paunov (DB tasks)
- Ondrej Vasik
- Kamil Dudka
- Benjamin De Kosnik
TBD; Fedora's main devel list for now
Static Code Analysis tools already in Fedora
- gcc - arguably we should pay more attention to the compiler warnings that gcc already generates: sometimes it's correctly pointing out a bug.
- clang static analyzer (in Fedora as "clang-analyzer" subpackage of "llvm")
- cpychecker (part of gcc-python-plugin)
- flawfinder (that page has a great list of links to other static analysis tools)
- cppcheck Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code.
- sparse - a Semantic Parser for C, primarily used by kernel developers.
Package Want List
- Frama-C - is this in Fedora yet?
dmalcolm: for Fedora 17 I attempted to run all of the Python C extension code in Fedora through my cpychecker cpychecker tool. I want to repeat this analysis, but this time to capture the results in a database.
This is 4 parts:
- IN PROGRESS: firehose: an interchange format so we can capture results from all static analyzers in a consistent format. This consists of:
- an XML serialization format (with a RELAX NG schema)
- a Python module for in-memory creation/manipulation
- parsers for converting analysis results into the common format:
- DONE: gcc warnings
- DONE: cppcheck warnings (v2 of its XML output format)
- DONE: clang-static-analyzer (the .plist output format)
- IN PROGRESS: cpychecker warnings (patching cpychecker so that internally it uses the above python API's classes)
- others?
- handle analyzer failures (where an analyzer choked and all or part of a source file failed; nice to capture where the failure happened).
- TODO: "mock-with-analysis" (need better name?): a way of doing a mock rebuild of a src.rpm with minimal effect on the main build, whilst injects a side-effect of running static analyzers on each c/c++ file compiled (other languages?), and drops firehose XML files into the chroot as results as it goes, so that they can be slurped into a database
- TODO: "firehose-ui": a db and web UI for summarizing reviewing results from many analyzers across many packages, with nice workflows
- TODO: gluing all of the above together and deploying it.
- having a team that comes up with filters that achieve a decent signal:noise ratio, so that J Random package maintainer doesn't have to wade through so much noise

Another Slam Dunk for Husky Hoops Half-Time Fundraiser ShowPosted in Events by Marilou Ubungen
Since 1989, a portion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold through Windermere Real Estate is donated to the Windermere Foundation. The Foundation uses these donations to provide funding to programs that support low-income and homeless families in our communities. One event that we have supported over the past few years is the annual Husky Hoops half-time free-throw fundraiser at the University of Washington vs. Washington State men's basketball game.
Four kids from the University Family YMCA participated in this year's event, which took place on Saturday, January 10. The Windermere Foundation donated $100 for each free-throw that was made during the special half-time event, with a minimum $1,000 donation. The four YMCA kids gave it their all, with the stadium crowd cheering them on. The kids had a blast and the University Family YMCA received a check for $1,000.
The YMCA is just one of the many non-profit organizations that the Windermere Foundation supports, donating funds over the years towards tuition-assistance for low-income children to attend after-school enrichment programs and summer camp activities. To date, the Windermere Foundation has raised over $28 million for programs and organizations that provide shelter, clothing, children's programs, emergency assistance, and other services to those who need our help the most.

Glee's Heather Morris: Is She Pregnant?
The actress steps out after rumors swirl that she's expecting her first child
Is Heather Morris a mom-to-be?
The Glee star, 26, and longtime boyfriend Taylor Hubbell are rumored to be expecting their first child, and photos of Morris out and about seem to confirm it.
"I think she'll be an amazing mom," her costar Naya Rivera tells ET Canada. "I'm happy for her."
Although the pregnancy is said to have been a surprise, Morris, who was once a backup dancer for Beyoncé, has not kept secret her desire to start a family with Hubbell, who played college baseball at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
In a 2011 Fitness interview, the professional dancer says he's more important than her career.
"I want to marry him so bad. That's what I really care about. I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him," Morris, a native of Scottsdale, Ariz., explains. "I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue."
Morris, who moved to Los Angeles at 19 to pursue her career, got her start auditioning for Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka withdrew from her Brisbane International against Serena Williams with an infected right big toe on Friday, citing concerns about aggravating the injury so close to the Australian Open.
Azarenka made the announcement about a half hour before she was to play the third-ranked Williams, who has an 11-1 record against Azarenka and is on a roll after winning titles at Wimbledon, the London Olympics and the U.S. Open.
It came soon after Andy Murray, the Olympic men's gold medalist and U.S. Open champion, had finished off his 6-4, 7-6 (3) win over Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin in the quarterfinals.
Murray had lapses in his opening three-set win over No. 199-ranked Australian qualifier John Millman on Thursday night, while Ivan Lendl was en route to Australia, but had no serious trouble with his coach in the stands.
The first of Murray's three titles in a breakthrough 2012 season was in Brisbane, where he started working with former No. 1-ranked Lendl last January. The next two titles were career-defining triumphs at the London Olympics and U.S. Open.
Murray was satisfied with his serve - he didn't get broken in the match - and was starting to get over the usual aches and pains from coming off the end-of-season break.
``When you're practicing it's hard to replicate match situations ... and they're the things that take a while to get back into the rhythm of playing,'' he said, putting his relatively slow start in Brisbane down to a lack of match practice rather than a lack of condition and rejecting the suggestion he had been ``rusty.''
He next plays fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan, a 6-4, 7-6 (3) winner over 2012 Brisbane finalist Alexandr Dolgopolov.
The other semifinal will feature 2006 Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis, who ousted No. 3 Gilles Simon of France 6-3, 6-4, against Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria, who beat seventh-seeded Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-3, 6-2.
Murray didn't face a break point in the second set, and only lost one point in his first three service games of the set - a call he disputed but lost on the challenge review.
He held serve to force a tiebreaker and trailed Istomin 3-1 before winning six straight points. Istomin served the only double-fault of the match to surrender triple match point and Murray hit a forehand winner to clinch it in little more than 1 1/2 hours.
Murray dropped a set to Millman and appeared to be sore and fatigued at times on Thursday night, but there were no such issues in front of Lendl, who has played a key role in ending the Scottish player's run of four defeats in Grand Slam finals before he finally won a major. Lendl also lost four major finals before his claiming the first of his eight Grand Slam crowns.
With her impressive finish to the 2012 season taking her major tally to 15, Williams is the most formidable player in women's tennis.
She has won 34 of her last 35 matches since a first-round exit at the French Open and is in contention to return to the No. 1 ranking if she wins the Australian Open.
She advanced directly to a final against Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who beat Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the other semifinal.
Tsurenko's run exceeded her expectations, considering she lost in the last round of qualifying and was only a late inclusion in the main draw after No. 2 Maria Sharapova withdrew due to a sore right collarbone.
Azarenka has been trying to deal with a sore big toe on her right foot for 10 days, saying she'd picked up an infection after a pedicure last week. She had to have part of the nail on the big toe removed Thursday. She was planning to head to Melbourne and hoping it would only take two days before she can continue fully preparing for the season's first major.
``I tried everything. We tried medication with taping, and I was playing through the pain for quite a while,'' said Azarenka, who won the Sydney International and the Australian Open last year during a 26-match winning streak to start the season. ``It's just something that I had to do to make sure that I can be fully recovered and ready for Australian Open. It's that sort kind of compromise I had to take.
``It's just very unfortunate timing, because I was really looking forward to playing and excited.''
Williams empathized with Azarenka.
``I like Vika. I think she's a great player. I love playing her,'' Williams said. ``I had that toe problem just a couple weeks ago and it's painful ... it's so painful. Doesn't sound painful, but it is. You can't walk with that. I hope she gets better fast.''

Our Milky Way galaxy has two large satellite galaxies orbiting it. They're known as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. And humans have been aware of the existence of these celestial objects for at least a millennium.
Recently, researchers were curious about whether our configuration is fairly typical, or an astronomical anomaly. In other words, is our corner of the cosmos ordinary?
Now a new study finds that the Milky Way and its companion galaxies are an unusual combination, but they're not one of a kind.
Astronomers in the U.K. and Australia looked at thousands of galaxies to try to find an analogue of our arrangement. The search turned up two close replicas: each with a Milky Way–like galaxy accompanied by two galaxies comparable to the Magellanic Clouds.
But the researchers also concluded that such arrangements are pretty rare. Only half a percent of Milky Way–like galaxies have companions like ours.
The Magellanic Clouds may be transitory features. In a few billion years the Milky Way may absorb them completely. So someday our corner of the cosmos could be pretty ordinary after all.

Mo. woman sentenced for fatal sneeze-induced crash
Kathryn Brady pleaded guilty to operating motor vehicle in careless manner
A Smithville driver whose sneezing fit caused a crash that killed a woman and left her young son paralyzed has been sentenced to probation and 100 hours of community service.
The Kansas City Star reported 45-year-old Kathryn Brady previously pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner and failing to register an out-of-state vehicle.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the Nov. 14 crash east of Smithville happened after Brady started "sneezing violently" and her minivan crossed the center line and struck another vehicle head-on.
She was sentenced Wednesday in Clay County to two years' probation, community service and she must take a defensive driving course.
The crash killed 30-year-old Laura McClendon and left her son, Jett Kirkland, now 2, paralyzed.

A MAGISTRATE has described as ''enormous'' the harm and sadness caused to one of Australia's best-known businessmen and his wife at the hands of a man who stalked them.
Magistrate Margaret Harding said a neighbour had ''ruined'' part of the lives of Jeremy Ellis - awarded an AO in this year's Queen's Birthday honours list - and his wife Ann.
The couple left their beloved Eltham home and moved to Sydney earlier than planned because of Simon Guyett's behaviour.
They returned on Friday to hear Ms Harding in Heidelberg Court find Guyett guilty of two stalking charges committed between October 2010 and December last year.
Numerous other charges against Guyett, 37, who pleaded not guilty at a hearing in September, were dismissed.
Mr Ellis, 75, is a former chairman of BHP and former chancellor of Monash University.
In her decision, Ms Harding described how the couple had lived for 30 years and ''enjoyed a beautiful existence'' in the bushland environment of their Sweeneys Lane home.
Guyett, a local businessman whose wife is pregnant with twins, bought an adjoining property in 2009.
He altered the landscape and tranquility, built an infinity pool and waterfall and started construction work that ''unsettled'' the Ellises.
Ms Harding listed burn-offs by Guyett and water run-offs before rocks, pebbles and stones began hitting their roof.
She found he stalked the couple through incidents that included blowing cement dust into their property, photographing Ms Ellis and throwing foam at her car.
Prosecutor Sergeant Eugene Kontos noted one of Guyett's prior convictions involved a dispute with a neighbour.
Defence lawyer Tania Wolff said Guyett had learning difficulties and an attention disorder whose ''isolated'' and unfortunate offending arose from ''different perceptions''.
Ms Harding convicted Guyett and released him on a 12-month undertaking to be of good behaviour with a condition he pay the Ellises' $5000 costs.

I've seen quite a few posts here from people trying to lose weight. I'm hoping this thread will be a place for those of us who are in this situation to talk about our challenges, goals, and successes and generally support each other.
I'll try to kick it off:
I'm male, 36 years old and 5 foot 10. I've been over 200 lbs since college, and every year my weight has gradually crept up a few pounds. I've tried various diets over the years and they all would work for a while, but as soon as I stopped, the weight would come back and then some. At the beginning of this year, I reached my all-time high weight of 277 View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif and decided it was time to do something about it for good.
I started counting calories and trying to eat a reasonable diet that would keep me under 2000 calories for each day. To track my progress, I set up an Excel spreadsheet where I track my daily weight, everything I eat and how many calories it had, and a running total of calories at the bottom of a day's log. So far it is working. Since January 21 I've consistently lost 1.5-2.5 lbs per week and I'm now down to 265. I know I've still got a long way to go, but at least I'm directionally correct now.
My goals are:
- 200 lbs by the end of 2002
- 175 lbs by the end of the first quarter of 2003
I am doing this for myself so that I'll feel better and have greater self confidence and self esteem, and for my family so that I will have a greater chance of being around for them in coming years rather than succumbing to heart disease, high blood pressure, or some other weight-related ailment.
I plan to post my progress on Sunday each week.
Any takers?

History of Research at HBS
The institution that was to grow into the Highlands Biological Station was established in 1927 as the Highlands Museum Association, initiated by a group of local citizens at the suggestion of Clark Foreman (1902-1977), grandson of the founder of The Atlanta Constitution and a member of the Roosevelt Administration's Interior Department from 1933 to 1941. Foreman served as the first President of the Association, which opened its museum in a one-room addition to the Hudson Library on July 4th 1928. At the suggestion of Foreman's friend, the American Museum of Natural History herpetologist Clifford Pope, Foreman and the museum's governing Board moved to expand the scope of the organization to research, inviting noted UNC Chapel Hill botanist William Chambers Coker and Vanderbilt University zoologist Edwin Reinke to consider basing their work in Highlands. Both biologists responded enthusiastically, and the fledgling museum took action to provide research infrastructure.
Located at 35.05N, 83.19W and nearly 4,000 ft (1,220 m) in elevation, the Highlands Plateau is characterized by mild summers, cold winters, and the highest precipitation in eastern North America, averaging 80-100 in (200-250 cm) annually. Its location on the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Escarpment affords ready access to a variety of plant communities over a nearly 5,000 ft (1,524 m) elevation gradient, extending from the oak-pine and bottomland hardwood forests of the Piedmont, through the mesophytic cove forests and rock outcrop communities of the Appalachian slopes, to the grass and heath balds and spruce-fir forests on the summits of the higher peaks. The Station's founders may not have realized that few regions outside the tropics offer such opportunities as the southern Blue Ridge for empirical work in ecology, evolution, and organismal biology, but the scientific community soon realized that the Highlands Biological Station provides a research base in the midst of a temperate-zone biodiversity hotspot.
The Highlands Museum and Biological Laboratory, Inc. opened its first research laboratory in 1931. The Sam T. Weyman Memorial Laboratory, designed by Oscar Stonorov with Tucker & Howell, architects, received acclaim as the first example of the International Style of architecture in North Carolina and was often cited as a foremost example of the Modern Movement in the US. Later remodeled as the Station's dining hall, the Weyman building today little resembles the original design, unfortunately. For over 30 years, however, the Weyman Laboratory was the center of research at HBS, a period in which Station-based research productivity increased dramatically.
In the late 1930s construction began on the Station's Museum; designed and built by the WPA and opened in 1941, the museum and associated amphitheater was a natural counterpart to the research laboratory embodying the joint research and educational mission of HBS. Officially named for visionary HBS founder Clark Foreman, today the Museum is known informally as the Highlands Nature Center. Among its many public programs, the Nature Center is an important venue for scientists working at the Station to share their research and knowledge with the community at large.
Research activity at HBS snowballed through the 1940s and 1950s; the rich diversity of the region attracted researchers working on many different taxa and systems, which in turn led to growing support from the State of North Carolina and the National Science Foundation. During the tenure of Thelma "Doc" Howell in the 1950s and 1960s, additional research infrastructure was built with the inauguration of a series of intensive field studies of the escarpment river gorges. It was at this time that the main lab at the Station, the William Chambers Coker Laboratory, was completed, along with the first residences at HBS (Howell, Wright, and Deacon Cottages). An Aquatics Laboratory was built soon after, and in 1962 the Highlands Botanical Garden was established on land donated by the Foreman family. Now celebrating its 58th anniversary, this garden has developed into a premier native-plant botanical garden prized by casual visitors and botany classes alike.
In this period, too, HBS initiated a program of academic summer field courses, and the Grant-in-Aid program supporting research was inaugurated with NSF support. Later taken over by the Highlands Biological Foundation, this program has now operated continuously for over 50 years, supporting thousands of research projects and hundreds of graduate theses and dissertations. Research conducted at HBS encompasses biological systems as diverse as the southern mountain region itself: plants, insects, fungi, mammals, birds, fish, fungi, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, and especially salamanders have been the primary areas of interest, with studies ranging from taxonomy, systematics, ecology and evolution to conservation biology, ecophysiology and ecosystem and community ecology. The southern Appalachian region being a temperate zone hotspot for salamanders, notably the lungless salamander family Plethodontidae, research on this group has been a major research focus over the decades.
In the mid-1970s HBS became a Center of the University of North Carolina system, and is now administered on behalf of the university system by Western Carolina University. At that time the original non-profit research laboratory was reorganized into the Highlands Biological Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization that remains closely associated with HBS. The Foundation is governed by a 32-member Board of Trustees. Its mission is in part to promote the research and educational program of the Station. For several decades the HBF has funded the HBS Grant-in-Aid program and provides annual scholarships to summer courses.
Summary of Highlands Biological Foundation Research Support
The Highlands Biological Foundation is sustained by donations, memberships (including a consortium of regional colleges and universities), and fundraising. Those who value the service that HBS has provided to the scientific community through its research and education programs are encouraged to become a member of the Highlands Biological Foundation, Inc. to support its tradition of funding research grants and financial aid at HBS! A link to membership information can be found in the links section of this page at the bottom.
New research and instructional facilities continue to be developed at HBS. With NSF support new teaching labs and classrooms were installed in the 1st floor of the Bruce Biodiversity building and the lower level of the Nature Center in 2009, and State funding provided a state-of-the-art molecular genetics laboratory — the "Tree-house Molecular Lab" — in the upper level of Biodiversity. HBS recently received a major renovation of the Coker Laboratory, with a new design that yields fully modernized infrastructure and more research lab and teaching space than ever before. The new-and-improved Coker Laboratory was dedicated in late 2012, ushering in a new era of research support.
A new research dimension at HBS was introduced in 2001 when the Station partnered with the Institute for the Environment (formerly Carolina Environmental Program) at UNC-Chapel Hill to offer a fall semester-in-residence program for undergraduate environmental studies and biology majors. An individual research internship and group capstone research project are important components of this program. Students are paired with a mentor from a local organization (town or county government, research lab, conservation nonprofits, business partners, USFS, etc.), tackling a project of mutual interest. Over the years these projects have included policy, management, law, and scientific research.
Today HBS realizes its mission of education and research broadly through (1) support of scientific research and graduate training, (2) academic field courses in diverse areas of biology, (3) hosting visiting academic groups, and (4) offering diverse outreach programming for regional K-12 schools, the local community, and life-long-learners. Each year dozens of scientists and hundreds of students flock to HBS to conduct research and learn immersion-style about aspects of the unique southern Appalachian. environment and biota.
The Station's research legacy is manifested in the lengthy record of scientific papers, graduate theses and dissertations, and research internship reports stemming from work based at or otherwise facilitated by HBS. The complete HBS database record of research products will eventually be available for now, research products since 2000 are available online here.

Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Breakfast For Dinner
Our last challenge for Weekend Cook and Tell was for all of you to share your favorite breakfast dishes for any time of day. We called this Breakfast For Dinner. We appreciated your early morning eats both in recipe, photo, and story form. Here are our favorite breakfast dishes.
Rocquie does not wake up ravenous in the morning. In fact, she says she cannot even smell upon first waking up. Rocquie, for this reason we have this post. You are not alone. To placate her breakfast-loving children and spouse, Rocquie whipped up a Potato & Spinach Frittata served with broiled grapefruit. Placate, indeed!
If you've been to Spain, chances are you've tried zahavah's dish: Tortilla Española. Tortilla Española is traditionally made up of egg, potato, and onion. Some regions may incorporate additional ingredients. I'd say one of the most impressive aspects of watching a Spaniard whip up this dish is the flip. Ta-da!
Many of us Serious Eaters simply don't have time for breakfast in the morning. missmochi falls into this camp. Granola bars to the rescue? For this reason, she also eats breakfast for dinner. If you're a fan of Southern Biscuits and Gravy, or if you'd like to try an alternate version with Bacon Gravy, missmochi has tasted the way to greatness on your behalf.
She's Cookin' gets all eggy on us. Her Green Eggs & Ham Pizza combines eggs, kale pesto, ham, and parmesan, to make a hearty-healthy breakfast treat.
ClaireOOTO shares her go-to list for twists on breakfast. We think the Cider Pancakes With Warm Fruit Compote sounds particularly promising.
cooklikeachampion writes, "These Baked Ranchero Eggs With Blistered Cheese are hearty and spicy enough to be eaten as dinner, but you may not want to wait until then to enjoy them." We'd be inclined to agree. Of course, if you have a sensitive morning constitution, just add a Tums to the dish. It'll be worth it.
Finally, xiaozhic shares a recipe for Congee - perfect for any time of day and even for those with unsettled stomachs first thing in the morning.
A big thank you to everyone for sharing their sandwich love for this week's Weekend Cook and Tell challenge. Be sure to head over to Talk and read about next week's challenge: Love For Legumes

Tennessee educator elected to stand strong for students and public education
Earl Wiman to serve on NEA Executive Committee
CHICAGO - July 04, 2011 -
Facing unprecedented attacks on their rights and profession, thousands of National Education Association (NEA) members from across America elected Tennessee educator, Earl Wiman, to the NEA Executive Committee on Monday. The nine-member executive committee is the governing body that oversees the 3.2 million-member NEA.
"I am humbled to receive this vote of confidence from my peers," said Earl Wiman. "Every student deserves great public schools and I am honored to work on behalf of an advocacy organization like NEA that is responsible for making that vision a reality. I look forward to working side-by-side with NEA leaders to continue to stand up against attacks on our profession and public education."
A former kindergarten teacher, principal and media specialist now on special assignment for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, Earl Wiman will begin serving his three-year term on the Executive Committee this July. For more than 30 years, Wiman has been an ardent advocate for teachers and education support staff. He is past president of the 55,000-member Tennessee Education Association.
"Now more than ever we need Earl's voice and endless energy to push back against the coordinated attacks on public education and working families across America," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "I am confident he will draw on his more than 30 years of experience as a classroom educator and Association leader to continue to deliver on the promise of great public schools for every student."
Nearly 9,000 educators from every state are attending NEA's Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly (RA) through July 5. The RA is the top decision-making body for the 3.2 million-member NEA. Delegates set Association policy and address issues facing schools, students and the teaching profession.
The Executive Committee is comprised of NEA's three executive officers and six members, elected at-large by delegates to the Representative Assembly. The Executive Committee is responsible for general policy and financial interests of NEA and acts for the NEA Board of Directors in between the board's four regularly scheduled meetings each year.
