MADISON - The public will have an opportunity to review and comment on the draft Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. The plan provides guidance to public outdoor recreation policy and planning decisions and is used in allocating recreation-related grants administered by the Department of Natural Resources.
This iteration of the SCORP covers the period from 2019 to 2023 provides updated information on Wisconsinites' participation in outdoor recreation, existing opportunities, and future needs. The plan was developed with the assistance of an advisory team comprised of a diversity of representatives.
The DNR will host an open house meeting on Wednesday Dec. 19 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Alumni Room of the Dreyfus University Center on the UW-Stevens Point campus. The Center is located at 1015 Reserve St. Stevens Point.
The SCORP provides guidance for public outdoor recreation policy and planning decisions in the state. The plan also guides the allocation of recreation-related grants administered by the department, including the Land and Water Conservation Fund program.
The plan lays out five overarching goals for outdoor recreation in Wisconsin:
People can review the plan and the appendices by searching the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov, for keyword "SCORP." In addition to the open house, people can also comment on the plan through a public input form on the SCORP page of the DNR website. The form is intended to gather perspectives about the draft SCORP and ideas people may have to improve the document. People can provide input on an online questionnaire, or can download a form and mail it in. Comments, either online or hardcopy, are due by Jan. 4, 2019.

MADISON - Black bear and wild turkey hunters are reminded to submit their applications before midnight on Dec. 10.
Applications for permit drawings can be purchased through Go Wild at GoWild.wi.gov or through an authorized license agent.
Black bear
Harvest numbers from the 2018 black bear season are not yet finalized, but preliminary estimates show that hunters harvested more than 3,680 bears. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff and the Bear Advisory Committee are currently in the process of determining 2019 harvest quotas.
Bear hunters are reminded that due to the high interest in this hunt, hunters must apply for several years before receiving a permit through the drawing process for most bear management zones. In order for bear permit applicants to retain their accumulated preference points, they must apply at least once during any period of three consecutive years, or all previously accumulated preference points will be lost.
If the hunter is selected in the drawing, their preference points will be reset to zero, even if they do not purchase the harvest permit. It is the applicant's responsibility to be aware of drawing status. Applicants selected in the drawing will be notified by mail shortly after the drawing and may purchase their 2019 Class A bear license beginning in March 2019. Applicants may also check their status online through their Go Wild customer account.
The season structure for the 2019 bear hunt is as follows:
Zone C (dogs not permitted):
All other zones:
2019 spring turkey
Dec.10 is the deadline to apply for a spring turkey harvest authorization (previously known as a tag or permit). Turkey harvest authorizations are issued through a preference-based drawing system. For more information on the turkey preference drawing, see the Turkey Frequently Asked Questions.
Applicants may choose up to two time period and zone combinations that they would like to hunt. As a third choice, applicants may choose one zone in which they will accept a harvest authorization for any time period. This third choice can be the same zone as the first and/or second choice. The second and third choices are optional, but applicants are encouraged to provide second and third choices to maximize their likelihood drawing a harvest authorization.
Successful applicants will be notified by mail after the drawing results are finalized.
Unsuccessful applicants will receive a preference point that will increase their chances of drawing a harvest authorization the following spring season. Hunters can check their application status online through Go Wild.
Any harvest authorizations that were not awarded in the drawing will be available for purchase as bonus harvest authorizations. Bonus harvest authorizations will cost $10 for residents and $15 for non-residents.
All turkey hunters are required to possess a valid spring turkey license and wild turkey stamp when they acquire their spring turkey harvest authorization. A 2019 Spring Turkey License is $15 for Wisconsin residents and $60 for non-residents. The 2019 Wild Turkey Stamp is $5.25.
The 2019 spring turkey season is as follows:
For information on hunting in state parks, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keywords "hunting state parks." All harvested turkeys must be registered. For information on how to register your turkey, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keywords "turkey registration."
Youth turkey hunt - April 13-14
The annual Spring Turkey Youth Hunt is designed for hunters ages 15 and younger. Interested youth hunt participants should apply for a spring turkey harvest authorization before the Dec. 10 deadline. A harvest authorization for any time period can be used during the two-day youth hunt, but hunters are limited to the zone listed on their hunting authorization.
Youth hunters must either have a Hunter Education Certificate of Accomplishment or hunt under the Mentored Hunting Program. All hunters under 12 years of age must participate in the Mentored Hunting Program, even if they have successfully completed a hunter safety education course. All other turkey hunting regulation apply to the youth hunt.
Spring wild turkey hunt for people with disabilities applications due Dec. 10
Hunters with disabilities may apply for a harvest authorization outside of the normal spring turkey drawing. Hunters can apply for the Spring Wild Turkey Hunt for People with Disabilities by submitting Forms 2300-271 and 2300-271A.
This special hunt is only valid on private lands. Forms must be submitted by Dec. 10 to the DNR wildlife biologist for the county in which the hunt will take place. Any applicant who applies for a turkey harvest authorization using Forms 2300-271 and 2300-271A may not apply for a harvest authorization through the general spring turkey drawing.

MADISON - The nine-day gun deer hunt may be over, but hunters can still participate in the muzzleloader season, archery and crossbow seasons and two antlerless-only gun hunts.
The muzzleloader deer season will close Dec. 5, but hunters can extend their gun-deer hunting opportunities by filling any unused deer harvest authorization during the annual statewide four-day, antlerless-only hunt that takes place Dec. 6-9. Hunters may fill any unused antlerless harvest authorizations while hunting in the proper deer management zone, unit and land type specified on the authorization.
In addition, the antlerless-only holiday hunt will be offered in 19 farmland units from Dec. 24 - Jan. 1, 2019. These seasons are used at the request of County Deer Advisory Councils and utilized in units with high deer numbers in need of antlerless harvest to slow overall herd grown. Hunters may fill any unused antlerless harvest authorizations in their proper deer management zone, county and land type. Any unit where the holiday hunt is not offered will be open for archery and crossbow hunting, and bucks may be taken.
Any legal firearm, crossbow or archery equipment may be used during the statewide antlerless-only and holiday hunts.
Additional opportunities are also available for U.S. Armed Forces members and Class A and C disability permit holders. More information is available in the 2018 regulations [PDF].
The archery and crossbow seasons will remain open statewide through Jan. 6, 2019.
Metro sub-units have special deer seasons, including the gun deer season, that close on Dec. 5. All archery and crossbow seasons remain open through Jan. 31, 2019 in the extended archery season deer management units. All other archery and crossbow seasons close Jan. 6, 2019.
All hunters except waterfowl hunters are required to wear blaze orange or blaze pink clothing during any open firearm deer hunt. Other outdoor enthusiasts recreating on public lands are encouraged to wear bright colors for their own safety during these periods.
For more information regarding which hunts may be offered in each county, check out the interactive deer map at keyword "DMU."
If hunters choose to have their deer CWD tested through a cooperating meet processor or taxidermist, a self-service kiosk, or through hunter service testing with their county biologist, they are reminded to contact sampling stations in advance to verify hours of operation and that CWD surveillance efforts focus on testing adult deer, since older deer are more likely to have the disease. For more information regarding where to take your deer for sampling, search keywords "CWD sampling" or contact local DNR wildlife management staff.
Hunters can search for CWD test results individually or view a summary. Hunters will need a customer ID or CWD sample barcode to search for individual results. The average turnaround time from when the deer is brought to a sampling station to when the results are available is typically two to three weeks. For information regarding CWD test results, search keywords "CWD results".
If test results come back positive for CWD, hunters should follow advice from the Center for Disease Control (exit DNR), Wisconsin Department of Health Services and World Health Organization (exit DNR) to not consume venison from that deer.
The cooperation of hunters and private businesses has become increasingly vital to the success of our CWD sampling process. DNR staff would like to thank all those who continue to assist with CWD surveillance.
The Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey will remain active until all deer seasons have ended, and wildlife managers ask that hunters to submit a report of what they saw during their time in the field. This information will provide valuable data pertaining to Wisconsin's deer herd and other species.

MADISON - Goose hunters in the South Goose Hunting Zone are reminded that the regular goose season closed with the duck season on Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018 for 13 days. Goose season will reopen on Sunday, Dec. 16 and run through Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019.
This second split in the goose season allows for the opportunity to hunt geese over the Christmas and New Year holidays. This late-season opening was supported by the majority of the public and by most hunting and conservation organizations.
The timeframe for 2018-19 will give hunters the ability to pursue geese during a period when many have time off from work and school. This is also a time when many hunters return home to Wisconsin for the holidays, and these new season dates give people the chance to capitalize on their time off while spending time outdoors with family and friends pursuing geese.
For more information on goose and other waterfowl hunting, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword "waterfowl."

MADISON - The application period for vacant County Deer Advisory Council seats is open through Jan. 15, 2019.
CDAC members represent areas of expertise in agriculture, forestry, tourism, transportation, hunting, land management and local government. Individuals with experience in one of these areas are encouraged to apply for open CDAC seats. Council members meet at least twice annually to review deer management data, gather public input from citizens and provide recommendations to the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board regarding deer population objectives and antlerless harvest in their county.
Both hunters and non-hunters are encouraged to apply for vacancies, but applicants must have experience or involvement with the seat (agriculture, forestry, etc.) for which they are applying. To view vacancies in your county or to learn more about the application process, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword "CDAC."
Councils were established in 2014 and continue to provide an excellent opportunity to receive recommendations on county-specific deer population objectives and herd management decisions involving antlerless harvest goals and season structure. To form these recommendations, councils review a variety of scientific metrics on deer herd harvest and population trends, herd health, impacts to habitat and various human-deer interactions.

Contact(s): Brenna Jones, DNR, Wisconsin Monarch Collaborative coordinator, 608-576-2446; Caitlin Williamson, Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, 608-266-1430
MADISON - While Wisconsin monarchs rest and refuel after a 1,700-plus mile flight to their wintering grounds in Mexico, state residents can help them this winter by planting or planning habitat now and taking other actions to help monarchs.
A new website launched by the Wisconsin Monarch Collaborative, wimonarchs.org (exit DNR) a coalition of organizations dedicated to reversing dramatic monarch declines in Wisconsin, provides a wealth of state-specific information on planting habitat that will benefit monarchs and other pollinators. The website is found at wimonarchs.org.
"Monarchs are resting this time of year but we're not," says Brenna Jones, coordinator for the Wisconsin Monarch Collaborative and a conservation biologist for Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Natural Heritage Conservation Program, one of the partners.
"Planting milkweed and nectar plants is the best way to help monarchs, and now is a good time to plant seeds or to plan what plants you'll add to your garden next spring. Our new website gives you specific information to help you do that."
The Monarch Collaborative website has an extensive "creating habitat" suite of pages with state-specific resources for creating habitat in urban and suburban areas, on farms, on protected lands and along roadsides and utility corridors. The resources include a Top Twelve Species for Beginner Butterfly Gardens, geared for Wisconsin gardeners
In Wisconsin, native milkweed and other native plant seeds require a prolonged period of cold before they will germinate and grow. Planting milkweed and nectar plant seeds now means the seeds will have good soil contact and be kept moist by winter snowfalls. Lightly raking the soil surface or sowing seed onto an inch or two of snow-covered ground are good ways to hide the seeds from wildlife that may try to eat some of your seeds before they can germinate, Jones says.
The Wisconsin Monarch Collaborative website also provides resources for highway and parks officials and land managers responsible for mowing and planting decisions, notes Brenna Marsicek, co-lead for the Wisconsin Monarch Collaborative's communications and outreach working group and communications director for Madison Audubon Society.
"Winter is a great time to plan and advocate for monarch habitat in your community," Marsicek says. "Begin the conversations with local road and park officials, community leaders, and others who can help provide space for monarchs to reproduce and thrive - specifically on milkweed and other native plants."
Monarch numbers have plunged more than 80 percent over the last 20 years in the eastern population that breeds in Wisconsin and 15 other midwestern states. The leading cause of the decline is the loss of native milkweed. Wisconsin Monarch Collaborative partners have set a goal for Wisconsin to add nearly 120 million stems of native milkweed species within a diverse mix of native wildflowers by 2038, and are designing voluntary strategies for stakeholders throughout the state to work together to achieve this goal.
Monarchs that spend their winters in Mexico leave in the spring and fly to the southern U.S. where they lay their eggs. The caterpillars that hatch from those eggs become the butterflies that make their way to Wisconsin in spring. The fourth or fifth generation of butterflies that hatch every year in Wisconsin then fly to Mexico for the winter, and the cycle begins again.

MADISON - The Department of Natural Resources' Keep Wildlife Wild initiative is announcing its inaugural poster contest for 2019. The contest will be an annual event in the future. Students currently participating in fourth through sixth grade instruction may submit a poster for the contest.
Wisconsin's Keep Wildlife Wild initiative began in 2014 with a focus on providing information about wildlife species' natural behaviors, tips on how to determine if a wild animal is truly orphaned and what to do if someone finds a wild animal in need of assistance.
Dianne Robinson, wildlife biologist with the DNR and the Keep Wildlife Wild co-chair, says "This year, we are excited to incorporate more student involvement by offering this poster contest, which teachers can use along with the Keep Wildlife Wild lesson plan." Since 2014, Keep Wildlife Wild has developed many resources, including wildlife fact sheets and flowcharts to determine if an animal is sick, injured or orphaned. We also have a brochure, lesson plan, cartoon and a variety of news pieces and social media posts."
Posters submitted for the contest must contain the words "Keep Wildlife Wild" and follow the theme of the Keep Wildlife Wild tagline: "A young wild animal's best chance for survival is with its mother!" All posters must consist of original artwork, fit an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper and be submitted individually; team creations will not be accepted. The contest will run January 2 to February 22, 2019. First, second and third place finalists will be selected for each grade level by a panel of judges, and finalists will be announced April 7-13, 2019 during our second-annual Keep Wildlife Wild week.
Additional details about contest rules and submission procedures will be available in another press release in early January and in the coming weeks. More information is available on our website. Visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword "Keep Wildlife Wild."

SAN ANTONIO — A federal magistrate in San Antonio has ordered a mother held without bond after she was accused of trying to prostitute her young daughters.
An FBI agent testified Tuesday that 25-year-old Jennifer Richards and her boyfriend had chatted extensively on the Internet about how to sell her daughter to a molester.
Authorities say the 5-year-old girl and Richards' infant daughter were not sold for sex. The girls are no longer in Richards' custody.
The mother cried during the hearing. Her attorney says the chats were fantasy prompted by her boyfriend.
Richards is charged with using interstate facilities to transmit information about a minor. Sean Michael Block is charged with distributing child pornography.

Beschreibung Berlins aus Sicht einer eigtl. aus Seattle stammenden, dann länger in New York wohnhaften, "Wahlberlinerin". Ich denke, viele der positiven Dinge, die in dem Artikel benannt werden, sieht man im Alltag gar nicht mehr. Schön, daran erinnert zu werden.
I must admit, I've been (more) distracted lately. I am still working on my Origins book project which is coming together slowly but surely. But for the most part, I've been living my best life outdoors! Summer has come to Berlin in full force this year! April and May felt more like July. I don't know what that means for the actual July, if summer will stay twice as long or leave twice as early, but I don't care! I'm going to thoroughly enjoy summer while it's here! In honor of this wondrous time and place, I would like to share my view on the city I call home, Berlin. Wishing you all sunshine and happiness! –M.P.

In order to create custom content for Wesnoth, you need to set up a folder in userdata/data/add-ons/. If you have not found your userdata directory yet, read EditingWesnoth and come back here. This page will explain the basic directory structure of an add-on and where stuff goes.
Several pages on this wiki will assume you have done so and refer to relative paths in such.
The Main File
For this example, we will assume you are creating an add-on called A Simple Addon.
- Create the empty directory userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon.
Important: Remember to use underscores in all directory and file names instead of spaces. Failure to do so will result in your content not working properly.
- Create a file called _main.cfg inside the A_Simple_Addon folder.
The _main.cfg file will instruct the game on how to load your content. Here is shown a very simple example of the file.
#textdomain wesnoth-A_Simple_Addon [textdomain] name="wesnoth-A_Simple_Addon" path="data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/translations" [/textdomain] #ifdef MULTIPLAYER [binary_path] path=data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon [/binary_path] {~add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/scenarios} #endif
The [textdomain] WML tag specifies where the game should look for translations to the strings in the add-on. The textdomain should be the add-on's directory name prefixed with "wesnoth-", to ensure that it does not conflict with other textdomains that might be specified on a given system and is compatible with WesCamp.
Note: A textdomain is only required if your add-on contains text meant to be translated. In the case of, for example, a music pack, no textdomain is needed.
All tags save for [campaign] and [textdomain] must be enclosed in an #ifdef preprocessor conditional - including those substituted through inclusion (see PreprocessorRef for more information). This is to make sure your content only loads at the correct time and does not conflict with other add-ons. In the example above, the scenarios will be loaded when you enter multiplayer mode. In a campaign, you can set up a specific flag to allow your content to only load when that campaign is played.
Note: Only code must be included from this file. You do not need to include binary content (such as sounds, images, or music). Those may be referred to simply by path relative to the one specified in [binary_path]. Also, including the units directory cannot be done by a simple path inclusion; it also must be wrapped in a [+units][/units] (the + is very important!) tag pair, as such:
[+units] {~add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/units} [/units]
The Directory Structure
What to create next depend on what type of content you are creating. For example, campaigns or map packs will have scenarios and maps directories, while a music pack would have only music. Here we will assume you are creating a campaign or single-scenario add-on.
Create the following directories:
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/scenarios
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/maps
All map files used in scenarios go in maps (see BuildingMaps. All configuration ('.cfg') files for scenarios go in scenarios (see BuildingScenarios).
If you have additional custom content such as images or units, create the respective following:
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/macros
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/units
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/images
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/music
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/sounds
Important: You may name the directories containing code (such as scenarios and macros) anything you like, but the three binary content directories (images, music, and sounds) must be named as such and be relative to your [binary_path]. This is because when trying to resolve an image path, Wesnoth will look under images/, and likewise for sounds and music, in [binary_path].
If you set up a textdomain, create a translations directory, even if it remains empty. Failure to do so generates a warning in stderr. This path must be the same as specified in the [textdomain] tag.
- userdata/data/add-ons/A_Simple_Addon/translations

Developmental Expression of Protein Kinase C Activity in Schistosoma Mansoni
The multicellular parasite Schistosoma mansoni undergoes complex physiologic changes during development from infective cercariae to adult worms in the mammalian host. The present study examined changes in protein kinase C (PKC) activity in S. mansoni during parasite maturation. Activation of PKC required Ca+2, phosphatidylserine, and either diacylglycerol or phorbol ester similar to mammalian PKC enzyme. A nine-fold increase in total PKC activity was found in adult worms as compared with larval parasites. Transformation of infective cercariae to parasitic schistosomula was associated with translocation of PKC activity from the cytosolic to membrane fraction. Tegumental extracts demonstrated significant PKC activity, suggesting a signal transduction system in the surface of the parasite. These data indicate that PKC activity is differentially expressed during parasite development and may have critical roles in regulation of cellular events in S. mansoni.

Understanding and Manipulating Cellular Dynamics Using Microfluidics
Cells receive signaling inputs, use gene regulatory pathways to process these signals, and generate outputs by secreting signaling molecules. Characterizing this input-output function helps understanding the underlying regulatory mechanisms and allows building predictive models. Significant variability in molecular parameters between cells makes time-dependent single-cell and single-molecule analysis crucial in understanding how biological systems operate. I will talk about how we developed automated, high-throughput microfluidic single-cell and single-molecule analysis systems with unprecedented capabilities and measurement accuracy, and how we use them in understanding immune coordination during response to infection. Our recent efforts have resulted in a new set of technologies, including microfluidic systems to measure single-cell cytokine secretion dynamics, cell culture systems that create programmable diffusion-based chemical gradients, devices to measure cell-cell communication via secreted factors, and a new method for digital quantification of proteins and mRNA in the same cell. I will also talk about new biological insight emanated from our experimental and modeling efforts on how single-cells detect and encode dose and frequency information of an input signal using the immune pathway NF-κB, and how molecular noise improves dynamic signal encoding and decoding. The primary goal in our combined technology/cell biology effort is to help develop computer models of tissue-level immune response that will serve as a test-bed for drug or genetic perturbations on disease pathways.

California College of Art Redevelopment pre-application documents available on-line
The attached documents were obtained from the City of Oakland at an obscure City website location. Directions for accessing that location are also provided. (That file is called "Accela sign-in guide") The documents all relate to the pre-application to redevelop the California College of Art's Oakland campus, just east of Broadway and just north of the "Shops at the Ridge" shopping center. (There are two project numbers associated with the CCA project. They are: ER19003 and ZP180116.) All documents were filed with the City on or before August 26, 2019, when the copies being posted were downloaded from the City website. They are posted here to facilitate their access by interested members of the public. (Note - two large pdf files were reduced in size to fit on the website, and one had to be split into two pieces. The essential material should all be there, however.) The documents will be updated as time and file space permit.
Also posted are the scoping comments submitted by RCPC.

Welcome to a new "column" on Leslie 4 Kids! This one is a temporary–every Wednesday now through the new year, replacing "Just 4 Moms." It's all about preparing for and enjoying (yes, it can be done) the holidays. We'll call it "Holiday Ho-ho-ho-down."
I walked into the Y this morning where I do my usual exercise routine and…ta-da! Everything was decked out in blue and silver snowflakes. Yes, the holidays are among us. Really. The woman who checked me in at the front desk asked me if I had my turkey yet. Well, no. For two reasons: we're vegetarian and we are traveling for Thanksgiving anyway.
I guess with this mild fall we have been having here in Chicagoland, I have really just not had Turkey Day on the brain. It doesn't feel like Thanksgiving. It doesn't even look like Thanksgiving! Okay, so maybe it does. I just glanced out the window and I see gray skies and and most of the leaves have fallen to the ground….although those mums are huge clouds of vivid color.
Regardless of whethere you are traveling or staying put for the big turkey fest, you have some preparations to see to. How to envision this holiday going? Careful, don't get your hopes set too high (like I often do) just to have them pop when things don't pan out.
Since we're traveling, it doesn't mean I am "off the hook" where the prep work goes. I have decided that I am baking a yummy pumpkin loaf for each of the branches of our family. Okay, not hard–just time consuming. I only have three loaves to bake, tie up with a cute raffia bow, pop a sticker on top of the saran wrap and transport to St. Louis. I can do that.
I have some Christmas gifts to wrap and pack and distribute to the folks we're having an early Christmas with. Okay…that's three sets of gifts. I have two kids and all of their laundry to do. Of course, I've got to make sure our favorite owl and tree-themed digs are ready to show off one last time before packing them up for the "winter." Nope, a girl cannot wear orange and brown trees in Decemeber–just not seasonally appropriate. Of course, I was the dorky mom who decided they had to have them. I'll add in school work and papers and the first report card to bring so I can show the proud grandparents just what it is their little granddaughter is doing in school. They need movies and books and things to keep 'em busy in the car….okay, I can do that. Sigh.
Oh, and for me…well I guess I do need to deliberate on what I am going to wear to see friends and family whom I haven't seen in months. Yoga pants just won't cut it.
Once we get to St. Louis, it's run here and run there and see this person and eat that cranberry sauce and struggle to fit into those skinny jeans…oh, but Thanksgiving, I love you anyway.

The European Data Relay Satellite (EDRS) system, which is being developed under ESA's Advanced Research in Telecommunications programme, ARTES 7, will be an independent, European satellite system designed to reduce time delays in the transmission of large quantities of data.
To add to Europe's independence, the EDRS system will provide a telecommunications network that is fast, reliable and seamless. It will make on-demand data available at the right place at the right time, and will ultimately save lives in search and rescue operations.
Data relay satellites are satellites placed in geostationary orbit to relay information to and from non-geostationary satellites, spacecraft, other vehicles and fixed Earth stations, which otherwise are not able to permanently communicate.

Last night, while watching CNN's coverage of the Egyptian democracy protests, I was surprised by the following commercial.
Well, maybe not surprised. The placement of this commercial is actually quite smart.
Think about it….we're sitting there watching ordinary Egyptian citizens stand up against 30 years of autocratic rule while being pelted with rocks by pro-government Agent Provocateurs.
If this was a made for tv movie, it would be clear who were the heroes and who were the villains.
- Ordinary citizens – GOOD
- Autocratic government – BAD
And this commercial is presenting the exact same message.
- An ordinary American Mom trying to feed her family during a time of economic uncertainty – GOOD
- A socialist government trying to control what Americans eat and drink with taxes – BAD
Perfect….a clear and concise message, delivered with a ton of emotion…and the timing couldn't be better.
So, unless you're a heartless SOB, you hopped immediately onto the interweb and surfed on over to NoFoodTaxes.com
Where the webmaster has made it very easy for you to email…
…the following message:
Combating obesity and improving in the health of Americans are important goals, but there are better solutions to tackling obesity than discriminatory taxes on soda and juice drinks.
Taxes on food and beverages will not make people healthier, but they will hurt American families struggling in tough economic times, like mine.
Please reject taxes on food and beverages. Enough is enough!
And as of this morning, 92,921 American patriots have stood up against unfair soda pop taxation and emailed their government representatives.
WooHoo!!!!….way to go and stick it to the man.
Of course…. I have to wonder if those 92,921 American anti-soda-tax patriots have any idea who paid for the commercial that got them to take action and stand up against big government.
I wonder if they would feel different if they knew that this battle isn't between taxpayer & big government…it's between the American Beverage Association and big government.
This isn't a battle between David & Goliath.
It's Goliath vs Goliath.
And both Goliaths want your money.

|Green Lantern Corpse Disc
|General Information
|Official name:
|Green Lantern Corpse Disc
|First Appearance:
|Used by:
|The Corpse
The Green Lantern Corpse Disc was a special device created by the Guardians of the Universe for the top secret black ops unit within the Green Lantern Corps which was known only as The Corpse. This unit within the intergalactic peacekeeping force was designed to work in secret and conduct operations that could not be done by normal Green Lanterns which meant that they eliminated threats in secret. To better facilitate their capabilities, members of The Corpse were provided with special Corpse Discs rather than regular Green Lantern Power Ring's. This was because a Power Ring was an obvious weapon which could be tracked to the Green Lantern Corps. Instead, the small discs provided similar capabilities without making it apparent to enemies who the perpetrators of the act served thus allowing The Corpse to conduct their missions in secret.
There were several notable differences between a Corpse Disc and a Power Ring. The first was that a Power Ring provided a limited charge that of 24 Earth hours depending on its usage and was wielded on the hand. In contrast, a Corpse Disc was actually ingested and empowered the wielder with a charge that lasted for 5 Earth days. Following the expiration of that time period, the Corpse Discs power simply dissipated and a new one needed to be ingested which meant that members of the Corpse were required to complete their mission within that time frame. Furthermore, a Power Ring displayed the Green Light of the Emotional Spectrum that was associated with Willpower whilst Corpse Discs displayed constructs in a deep purple light of energy. Beyond these aspects, the capabilities and usage of a Disc remained the same as those of a Power Ring.
After the rebirth of the Guardians of the Universe and their Green Lantern Corps, an Oan was responsible for dispatching Guy Gardner and new recruit R'amey Holl to the planet Corana Seven in order to meet with former member Von Daggle. Unknown to them, Von Daggle was actually a member of The Corpse who initially refused to serve the Guardians and he quickly dispatched the two Green Lanterns whereupon he confiscated their Power Rings. Combining the two Power Rings, he witnessed the covert assignment from a Guardian who urged Von Daggle to once take on his old role as a member of The Corpse and also provided three Corpse Discs with the intention of using both Gardner along with Holl as members of the mission. Thus, Daggle inducted the pair into The Corpse and revealed their assignment; to remove a meteor that the Dominators had uncovered which was capable of evolving whoever approached it into a more advannced form. Feeling that the Dominators would not only be a threat on the universe but themselves as well; the Guardians tasked the trio in a Corpse assignment to remove the meteor from the Dominator homeworld.
They were ultimately too late as one of the Dominators had been accidently exposed to the meteor and transformed into a much more powerful form. Calling himself The Dominator, he battled against the three Corpsemen where he defeated Gardner and seemingly killed Holl whilst Daggle was being attacked by his acolyte; an evolved Khund. During The Dominators seeming evisceration of Holl, he plucked out the Corpse Disc from her body and ingested it himself thus empowering him further. The Dominator later left to attack Earth but was himself ambushed by a meteor empowered Holl along with both Gardner and Daggle who destroyed the evolved Dominator. Afterwards, Holl wiped all memory of Gardner's involvement in the mission and thus had forgotten about both The Corpse as well as their Discs.

Tuesday marks the official end of Yahoo! as publicly traded company.
Founded in 1994, the company was famous for its homepage which provided a portal to news, entertainment and financial information for many an internet user.
But in recent years, Yahoo struggled to keep up with rivals like Google and Facebook, and eventually began to look for ways to pull more value from the company. The board explored selling off the company's large stake in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, but the idea was abandoned for tax purposes.
Shortly after, Verizon announced it would buy the company, excluding the Alibaba and Yahoo Japan holdings. This brings us to today when shares of Yahoo will begin trading under the name "Altaba" with the ticker AABA. The firm is now a "management investment company" as it primarily owns shares of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, according to its SEC filings.
The internet business Yahoo built now operates under the name "Oath" along with the AOL, which Verizon also bought.
The new company, Altaba, owns 383.5 million shares of Alibaba which are valued at about $US33.7 billion. It also owns 2 million shares of Yahoo Japan which are valued at $US7.7 billion, according to the company's regulatory filing.
The company will also own $US12 billion in cash and marketable debts, $US130 million in minority investments and $US740 million of equity in Excalibur, a subsidiary of the new Altaba that owns several Yahoo patents that were not sold to Verizon.
Shares of the new company began Monday trading at $US54.00 and are expected to track the value of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan.

Duke Energy's $75K gift supports engineering at WCU
CULLOWHEE – Western Carolina University's Kimmel School of Construction Management and Technology will expand hands-on learning experiences for engineering students and boost efforts to recruit and retain engineering students with a $75,000 gift from the Duke Energy Foundation.
The gift, announced at WCU on Nov. 17, will fund the purchase of new power systems laboratory equipment and provide student scholarships, faculty development and programming to encourage more students across Western North Carolina to explore engineering as a profession.
Jeffrey L. Ray, dean of the Kimmel School, said WCU is excited to collaborate with Duke Energy to help grow the number of engineering and technology professionals who can help meet the manufacturing and energy needs across Western North Carolina.
"As someone who has worked with multitudes of electric cooperatives around the South, I know firsthand how important and essential electric power is to the economic growth of this region of North Carolina, and we really appreciate Duke Energy's support," said Ray.
The Duke Energy Foundation provides philanthropic support to address needs vital to the health of the communities Duke Energy serves, and the gift to WCU fits with the foundation's commitment to supporting economic and workforce development, said Lisa Leatherman, Duke Energy's district manager for Jackson County.
"Engaging the future engineering students in hands-on learning experiences ignites excitement for the profession. Duke Energy is proud to partner with Western Carolina to help support and inspire students at Western Carolina," said Leatherman.
WCU is dedicating $45,000 of the amount awarded to purchase power electronics lab stations and electric drives lab stations. Wes Stone, interim head of the school's Department of Engineering and Technology, said the equipment for faculty and student research and hands-on lab experiences adds a new dimension to WCU's engineering programs.
Jordan Chaires, a graduate student from Raleigh pursuing a master's degree in technology, said he is excited to be able to use the new equipment to measure the efficiency of the solar power equipment and circuitry he will be working with for his thesis project. Chaires said the project fits in with his interest in working in a field in which he can help increase the efficiency and potential for using renewable energy and power sources.
"I know it sounds cliche, but I just want to help the world and the planet," he said. "If we have the sun and the wind, why not use it?"
Another $15,000 from the gift will support new Duke Energy Scholars Program merit-based scholarships to be awarded in 2015-16 and 2016-17. The first five Duke Energy scholars, announced Nov. 17, are Milton Canupp, a junior from Minneapolis majoring in electrical engineering; Kaleb Frizzell, a junior from Sylva majoring in electrical and computer engineering technology; Adam Gropp, a junior from Enka majoring in electrical engineering; Dylan Shook, a junior from Claremont majoring in engineering technology; and Jacob Spurling, a junior from Boiling Springs majoring in electrical engineering.
The final $15,000 of the gift will support faculty development and initiatives designed to encourage more students from across the region to consider studying engineering.
WCU Chancellor David O. Belcher thanked Duke Energy for its generous support, which he said is helping to fuel the momentum of WCU's Kimmel School in driving innovation and economic development in Western North Carolina. Kimmel School faculty and students, through a range of partnerships and collaborations, are helping sustain, maintain and grow businesses and industries across the region, Belcher said.
Enrollment in the school's engineering programs soared after the University of North Carolina system Board of Governors approved a stand-alone engineering program for WCU in 2012, said Belcher. In addition, the university recently expanded general engineering program offerings to its Asheville location at Biltmore Park to meet demand among existing and prospective businesses along the Interstate-26 growth corridor. That program expansion was made possible with funding from the N.C. General Assembly through the leadership of N.C. Sen. Tom Apodaca (R-Henderson) in 2013. WCU was the only UNC institution in the state that year to receive program expansion funding, Belcher said.
"The General Assembly thought Western Carolina's engineering program and what we need to do for this region was so important they found money to support it," said Belcher. "The work our faculty, staff and students are doing to support businesses and industries in our area is incredible and strengthens the overall economic health of all of Western North Carolina."

but back stage
we're shuffling the decks
I'm desperate here
I should have mentioned
I didn't know
I was standing on the shore today
the waves were high
I saw a broken old raft
I clambered over the rough granite
barefoot in the hot sun
a rope had it stuck under deep rocks
it was close enough for me to jump on
I swayed with the waves
avoiding splinters and upturned nails
I swayed with the waves
and imagined pushing out to sea
with one good friend
or alone
where would we go?
it was only later I considered
what to eat? to drink?
how to steer?
so attractive
helpless on the ocean
floating away from any possibility
of destruction or salvation
that familiar flavour
but back stage

I teach beginning fiction and poetry in the online program of The Writers Studio. These thank-you emails from my students should give you a sense of how I teach:
Unsolicited Feedback from Writers Studio Students
I have so enjoyed these past 2 sessions. I haven't really taken any writing classes ever, so I have nothing to compare this to, but really the experience has been life altering for me. I am incredibly grateful to have happened into your wise and gentle tutelage!
I wanted to tell you that over the last year of writing I have returned again and again to the excellent exercises you set for our class. I always say a silent thank you in my head for that semester of fruitful work.
I realized (with even more clarity) how much I adored your class and you as a teacher. I kept referring back to assignments you had given or something in your critiques that had helped me grow or expand. I was like a kid talking with pride and nostalgia about her mom's cooking. :)
You created a combination of tough challenge (bootcamp tough at times!!!) and safety (warmth, positivity) that helped me grow as a writer and writer-reader in ways I could not imagine. I am truly grateful for your leadership, holding, prodding, gentle pushing, and teaching.
Michele, You have such a unique ability to see where I was coming from and know how to approach my works so I could learn. That is extraordinary attunement and provided me necessary trust in this process. That is more than a gift, it is a period of grace in my life that has opened a world of expression for me. How truly special a mentor you are.
It never in my life occurred to me that I'd be doing anything like this, or how much I'd enjoy it. It's given structure to my life, and a purpose. Thanks to your guidance, gentle criticism and encouragement.

Royals boss reflects on a tough battle that ended in a Portman Road stalemateReading twice came from behind to earn a point this afternoon and boss Jaap Stam, pleased with a hard earned point, admitted that a draw was the fair result at Portman Road.
"We knew from the start that it was going to be a tough game," he said. "We knew how they liked to play from the first game against them at home - the effort that they put in, aggressive going forward, getting into battles all over the pitch.
"And they knew how we want to play with possession - and they didn't want to let us play. There was a lot of physicality in their play, a lot of battles in the midfield and that made it difficult for us.
"They did well, they worked hard for it - but my main frustration is how we conceded the goals.
"They scored both times from us losing the ball. The first was when we were on the attack and we lost it on the edge of their box - and on the break they were out. They did it very well and scored a great goal, but it was our mistake that cost us.
"And the second goal that we conceded, we lost it again on the right side, trying to play that ball into the striker under pressure. We were left open at the back, we gave space away, so when they won the ball they passed the ball straight through the middle to their striker and he scored the second goal.
"We had more of the ball, but by making two mistakes you concede two goals and we had to equalise twice, which is not easy against a side like this. But we still did it! And I think it's an important point for us."
The draw takes the Royals to 56 in total, having played 30 games so far this season. Back to back home games against Barnsley and Brentford await next and the Royals will be looking to return to winning ways next weekend as the race for a top six spot hots up.
"We tried to play, but we couldn't always do what we wanted to. It was a hard game and we didn't deserve anything more today, it was a fair result for both teams.
"And it's going to be a hard run towards the end of the season, hard to stay up there. Everyone wants to end up in the top six and if there is a possibility, we want to do that as well. So we'll see how it goes."

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Use with caution in severe renal disease. In patients with renal disease, thiazides may precipitate azotemia. Cumulative effects of the drug may develop in patients with impaired renal function.
Thiazides should be used with caution in patients with impaired hepatic function or progressive liver disease, since minor alterations of fluid and electrolyte balance may precipitate hepatic coma.
Thiazides may add to or potentiate the action of other antihypertensive drugs.
Sensitivity reactions may occur in patients with or without a history of allergy or bronchial asthma.
The possibility of exacerbation or activation of systemic lupus erythematosus has been reported.
Lithium generally should not be given with diuretics (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
All patients receiving diuretic therapy should be observed for evidence of fluid or electrolyte imbalance: namely, hyponatremia, hypochloremic alkalosis, and hypokalemia. Serum and urine electrolyte determinations are particularly important when the patient is vomiting excessively or receiving parenteral fluids. Warning signs or symptoms of fluid and electrolyte imbalance, irrespective of cause, include dryness of mouth, thirst, weakness, lethargy, drowsiness, restlessness, confusion, seizures, muscle pains or cramps, muscular fatigue, hypotension, oliguria, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting.
Hypokalemia may develop, especially with brisk diuresis, when severe cirrhosis is present or after prolonged therapy.
Interference with adequate oral electrolyte intake will also contribute to hypokalemia. Hypokalemia may cause cardiac arrhythmia and may also sensitize or exaggerate the response of the heart to the toxic effects of digitalis (e.g., increased ventricular irritability). Hypokalemia may be avoided or treated by use of potassium sparing diuretics or potassium supplements such as foods with a high potassium content.
Although any chloride deficit is generally mild and usually does not require specific treatment except under extraordinary circumstances (as in liver disease or renal disease), chloride replacement may be required in the treatment of metabolic alkalosis.
Dilutional hyponatremia may occur in edematous patients in hot weather; appropriate therapy is water restriction, rather than administration of salt, except in rare instances when the hyponatremia is life threatening. In actual salt depletion, appropriate replacement is the therapy of choice.
Hyperuricemia may occur or acute gout may be precipitated in certain patients receiving thiazides.
In diabetic patients dosage adjustments of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may be required. Hyperglycemia may occur with thiazide diuretics. Thus latent diabetes mellitus may become manifest during thiazide therapy.
The antihypertensive effects of the drug may be enhanced in the post-sympathectomy patient.
If progressive renal impairment becomes evident, consider withholding or discontinuing diuretic therapy.
Thiazides have been shown to increase the urinary excretion of magnesium; this may result in hypomagnesemia.
Thiazides may decrease urinary calcium excretion. Thiazides may cause intermittent and slight elevation of serum calcium in the absence of known disorders of calcium metabolism. Marked hypercalcemia may be evidence of hidden hyperparathyroidism. Thiazides should be discontinued before carrying out tests for parathyroid function.
Increases in cholesterol and triglyceride levels may be associated with thiazide diuretic therapy.
Laboratory Tests
Periodic determination of serum electrolytes to detect possible electrolyte imbalance should be done at appropriate intervals.
Drug Interactions
When given concurrently the following drugs may interact with thiazide diuretics.
Alcohol, barbiturates, or narcotics --potentiation of orthostatic hypotension may occur.
Antidiabetic drugs --(oral agents and insulin)--dosage adjustment of the antidiabetic drug may be required.
Other antihypertensive drugs --additive effect or potentiation.
Cholestyramine and colestipol resins-- Absorption of hydrochlorothiazide is impaired in the presence of anionic exchange resins. Single doses of either cholestyramine or colestipol resins bind the hydrochlorothiazide and reduce its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract by up to 85 and 43 percent, respectively.
Corticosteroids, ACTH --intensified electrolyte depletion, particularly hypokalemia.
Pressor amines (e.g., norepinephrine) --possible decreased response to pressor amines but not sufficient to preclude their use.
Skeletal muscle relaxants, nondepolarizing (e.g., tubocurarine) --possible increased responsiveness to the muscle relaxant.
Lithium --generally should not be given with diuretics. Diuretic agents reduce the renal clearance of lithium and add a high risk of lithium toxicity. Refer to the package insert for lithium preparations before use of such preparations with HydroDIURIL.
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs --In some patients, the administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent can reduce the diuretic, natriuretic, and antihypertensive effects of loop, potassium-sparing and thiazide diuretics. Therefore, when HydroDIURIL and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents are used concomitantly, the patient should be observed closely to determine if the desired effect of the diuretic is obtained.
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions
Thiazides should be discontinued before carrying out tests for parathyroid function (see PRECAUTIONS, General).
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Two-year feeding studies in mice and rats conducted under the auspices of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) uncovered no evidence of a carcinogenic potential of hydrochlorothiazide in female mice (at doses of up to approximately 600 mg/kg/day) or in male and female rats (at doses of up to approximately 100 mg/kg/day). The NTP, however, found equivocal evidence for hepatocarcinogenicity in male mice.
Hydrochlorothiazide was not genotoxic in vitro in the Ames mutagenicity assay of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538 and in the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) test for chromosomal aberrations, or in vivo in assays using mouse germinal cell chromosomes, Chinese hamster bone marrow chromosomes, and the Drosophila sex-linked recessive lethal trait gene. Positive test results were obtained only in the in vitro CHO Sister Chromatid Exchange (clastogenicity) and in the Mouse Lymphoma Cell (mutagenicity) assays, using concentrations of hydrochlorothiazide from 43 to 1300 µg/mL, and in the Aspergillus nidulans non-disjunction assay at an unspecified concentration.
Hydrochlorothiazide had no adverse effects on the fertility of mice and rats of either sex in studies wherein these species were exposed, via their diet, to doses of up to 100 and 4 mg/kg, respectively, prior to conception and throughout gestation.
Teratogenic Effects--Pregnancy Category B: Studies in which hydrochlorothiazide was orally administered to pregnant mice and rats during their respective periods of major organogenesis at doses up to 3000 and 1000 mg hydrochlorothiazide/kg, respectively, provided no evidence of harm to the fetus.
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictice of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Nonteratogenic Effects: Thiazides cross the placental barrier and appear in cord blood. There is a risk of fetal or neonatal jaundice, thrombocytopenia, and possibly other adverse reactions that have occurred in adults.
Nursing Mothers
Thiazides are excreted in breast milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue hydrochlorothiazide, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Pediatric Use
There are no well-controlled clinical trials in pediatric patients. Information on dosing in this age group is supported by evidence from empiric use in pediatric patients and published literature regarding the treatment of hypertension in such patients.

Our Program
For more than a decade, The Bahamas Fly-in program has proven to be a very successful initiative for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation. The increased participation of pilots wanting to fly to The Islands Of The Bahamas prompted the Aviation Department to start a Bahamas Flying Ambassadors program.
Flying Ambassadors—seasoned private pilots with extensive experience in flying to and around The Islands Of The Bahamas—duplicate the efforts of The Bahamas aviation team.
Over the years, The Bahamas Flying Ambassador program has expanded to include experienced pilots in a variety of areas (including Light Sports Aircraft), allowing for new ideas, support, reach and energy, which each ambassador brings to the table.
Our Ambassadors assist The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism by making themselves available to share their knowledge of The Islands Of The Bahamas, specifically the ease of flying across the Gulf Stream.

The term Cloud or Cloud Computing is used for storing and accessing data and running software over the internet instead of your local computer. The data and software are on servers that are hosted in secure datacenters. The Servers are connected in a network that is connected to the internet. The Cloud is always online and available to access from any place at any time.
Cloud Computing offers many advantages such as reducing costs on IT, better security and compliance, flexibility, rapid deployment and peace of mind. In addition, it limits the impact on nature by reducing the carbon footprint.
We use the term Cloud Services for any service that runs in the Cloud or services that are powered by the Cloud. Some popular Consumer Cloud Services are Apple iCloud, Netflix, Hotmail, and OneDrive. We offer Professional Cloud Services such as Cloud Backup, Cloud Servers, Security, Office 365 and much other.
Cloud Services that are monitored 24/7, managed and supported around the clock by a professional team of engineers other than your own employees are called Managed Cloud Services. There is a difference between Infrastructure Management only and Full day-to-day Management.
At some point every company will have a Cloud strategy. It can be a Cloud First or Hybrid Cloud approach. It can also be a Private Cloud or a setup where the Cloud plays a supporting role. One thing is sure, every future-proof company will be using Cloud Services in some part or the whole of their business in the future. GLOBIZCLOUD can support them all the way no matter what Cloud strategy they will choose and you can sell it to them.
Gartner has forcasted the Cloud Service revenue to grow from 200 billing US Dollars in 2016 to over 400 billion in 2020. Only a very small part of this give you a very profitable business. You can easily compete with IT companies and other Cloud providers. We can offer lower prices, better service and more solutions. We can be the single point of contact for all the IT and Cloud Services a company needs.
We offer 2 Franchise options, one where you pay the full Franchise Fee upfront and a second option where you only pay 20% upfront and the balance over 3 years. We allow you to start with a minimum upfront investment. Each option has different conditions. Both options have a high profit potential.

What are the Different Types of GIS Analyst Jobs?
Software that captures and analyzes data that can be linked to a particular location is called a geographic information system (GIS). It's a powerful analytical tool that has thousands of uses across many industries including banking and finance, city planning, defense, and natural resources. A GIS analyst is a person who uses GIS technology to visualize and analyze data to help in their organizations' decision-making processes. Different types of GIS analyst jobs include those in wildlife management, city planning, banking, and emergency management, among others.
One of the first industries to use GIS was wildlife management. In this field, GIS analysts might use animal population data, human population data, vegetation data, and food supply data for a given territory to determine whether the area can support the current wildlife populations. GIS can also be used to plot the migration patterns of waterfowl so that land use planners can determine the possible impact on the birds' territories.
Another area in which GIS analysts might be involved is city planning. Local, regional, and national planning agencies use GIS tools to identify problems, study regional indicators, and forecast future trends and needs. Analysts can then report their findings and ideas to create optimal community living conditions.
The banking and financial sectors offer many types of GIS analyst jobs. An analyst may use demographic information combined with geographic modeling to better understand economic conditions, customer interactions, and risk. Companies can use GIS to aid in a financial institution's decision-making processes to improve customer service, profitability, and operational efficiency.
GIS is an important tool for emergency management and disaster recovery. It can be used to model potential disasters and vulnerabilities. That information can then be used to plan for, respond to, and recover from disasters of all kinds, including earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and oil spills.
The scientific community also provides many types of GIS analyst jobs. For example, analysts may be involved in studying weather patterns over time, in order to identify climate change both regionally and globally. It is also used to monitor Arctic ice melt, ozone depletion, rain forest depletion, and ocean levels, to name just a few.
Many industries can provide opportunities for GIS analyst jobs. With a strong foundation in GIS training and knowledge, a person should have a great many areas in which to demonstrate his or her skills. When looking for a job, a searcher should consider related job titles, such as GIS specialist, GIS technician, GIS data specialist, GIS data analyst, and GIS assistant.

Looks like I have been penciled in to present at the upcoming Google conference in Toronto to discuss Advanced Dynamic banners. Have to try to find some presentable work I've done in that area to show. That might actually be a challenge... Most of those kinds of banners Im not allowed to show because of NDAs for some reason. Hoping I can find something.

They are indeed set to Default (Fully automated)
3. Re: Vcenter DRS behaviorGreat_White_Tec May 16, 2012 4:53 AM (in response to StuartB201110141)
Any DRS Groups? Rules? EVC? Please explain your set up a little more.
4. Re: Vcenter DRS behaviorStuartB201110141 May 16, 2012 5:04 AM (in response to Great_White_Tec)
Ok, 6 hosts, mixture of G5s (128 GB) and G7s (256 GB) All running latest firmware, and running 4.1 U2. Vcenter is 4.1.0
EVC Mode is Xeon Core 2
As i said, fully automated and agressive migration policies. This flows down and is reflected in the machine machgine options.
There are no rules, or affinity/anti affinity rules. This is a VDI setup if that makes any difference, with XP SP3 clients running.
Vmotion is enabled and works on every cluster member without issue. There are no alarms or alerts of any type.

7. Re: Vcenter DRS behaviorweinstein5 May 16, 2012 7:55 AM (in response to StuartB201110141)
You are not missing anything - remember DRS is not to evenly balance VM load across the ESXi host but is ensure that the VMs are receiving sufficient resources - so if they are receiving sufficient resources you can even have a situation where your G7s might be at 90% utilization and the VMs will not migrate -
8. Re: Vcenter DRS behaviorEdWilts May 16, 2012 8:35 AM (in response to StuartB201110141)
I have a cluster of several hosts, HP DL 580 G5s and G7s
The issue I have have is that in spite of DRS set to fully automated and an agressive migration threshold, the guest machines will just continue to sit on the G7s until they are alarming on memory utilisation. The other G5 hosts are not even 30% used in terms of ram and CPU barely registers.
The default memory warning is at 82%, but the host is not memory-constrained until you hit 94% so there's no point in migrating a guest from your G7 to a G5.
If you do not have a memory or CPU constraint, there's no benefit to moving a guest and in fact, your guests may slow down moving to the G5 hosts because they have slower CPUs and slower memory.
I've got a cluster with identical configurations for every host and right now see 3 hosts in the 30-31% memory range and 3 from 83-85%.
In my opionion, the memory warning should not kick until much later and I just recently changed mine to warn at 90% and alarm at 94%.

Over the last year, thanks to the active involvement of the ULg researchers, ORBi has seen the number of its references growing from 10,000 (news of June 2009) to 40,000. Out of these, 25,000 are with full text. According to ROAR, this is the third highest growth rate among the 1,000 identified institutional repositories among the world.
Those references have been already visualized more than 650,000 times with more than 61,000 downloads (detailed statistics).
This 40,000 publication record coincides with the first use of ORBi as the only official reference for the assessing of the publication activity of ULg members, within the context of academic promotions.

Netflix and Comcast, two companies that are supposed to be business partners, are waging an unusually public feud.
This week, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings publicly opposed Comcast's proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable, and one of his executives accused Comcast of "double dipping." Now, Comcast has fired back by saying Netflix, which is raising subscription fees, was not being honest with its members.This rare slap fight between two corporations strikes at the heart of the net neutrality debate.
First some background: In February, Netflix agreed to pay Comcast to ensure Netflix subscribers received faster, more reliable service on Comcast's broadband Internet service. During a quarterly earnings call with analysts Monday, Hastings said "we felt we had no choice" but to sign the agreement because its service on Comcast was "declining rapidly" in the prior six months.
Then Hastings said Netflix opposed Comcast's $45 billion deal to buy smaller rival Time Warner Cable because the merger would create too big of a monopoly.
On Thursday, Netflix fired another salvo when Ken Florance, vice president of content delivery, published a blog post that accused Comcast of using its position to unfairly make money off both its subscribers and companies that provide content to them.
Proponents of net neutrality say Internet service companies like Comcast should not be allowed to speed up, slow down, or block content from one particular company in favor of another. Internet service companies, meanwhile, say they need a way to recoup the investment they've made in their services.
But Florance, in essence, said Comcast can't have its cake and eat it too.
"In sum, Comcast is not charging Netflix for transit service," he said. "It is charging Netflix for access to its subscribers. Comcast also charges its subscribers for access to Internet content providers like Netflix. In this way, Comcast is double dipping by getting both its subscribers and Internet content providers to pay for access to each other."
"Comcast already controls access and sets the terms of access to a substantial portion of people who connect to the Internet in the United States. We're very concerned that a combined Comcast-TWC will place toll taking above consumer interests and will use their combined market power to the detriment of a vibrant and efficient Internet."
Jennifer Khoury, Comcast's senior vice president for corporate and digital communications in public policy, quickly shot back with a blog post stating that Netflix's assertions were full of "distortions and inaccuracies."
"Netflix's argument is a House of Cards," she wrote, riffing on Netflix's big original hit series.
Khoury said it was Netflix's moves to reroute its streaming traffic that degraded service and that "no ISP in the country has been a stronger supporter of the Open Internet than Comcast."
"As we and other industry observers have already noted, Netflix's decision to reroute its Internet traffic was all about improving Netflix's business model," she wrote. "While it's understandable for Netflix to try to make all Internet users pay for its costs of doing business (as opposed to just their customers), the company should at least be honest about its cost-shifting strategy."

Pests cause serious problems for people in cities throughout North Carolina. Unfortunately, the town of Mooresville is no exception. Many local infestations involve bedbugs, termites or one of several ant species. Insect colonies can inflict extensive damage unless residents take swift action to protect their homes.
Although it seldom bites humans, this cockroach relative has the potential to destroy almost any wooden structure. Eastern subterranean and West Indian powderpost termites infest walls, floors and furniture in North Carolina. Subterranean pests only thrive in moist environments; they often invade homes by crawling through soil. However, powderpost termites can survive in dry conditions.
This persistent pest finds its way into homes by hitching rides on luggage, clothing or furniture. After the infestation begins, occupants awaken to find itchy bumps on their skin. Bedbugs have become resistant to some types of insecticide. They can also hide in extremely small crevices and live for months with no food. This makes them very difficult to remove without professional assistance.
Multiple ant species proliferate in Mooresville. Acrobat, pavement, Argentine and odorous house ants infest homes from time to time. They annoy residents and loot kitchen cupboards. However, the fire ant instills greater fear than any other species. It harms crops, kills small animals and delivers a painful sting. Ants often enter homes through tiny holes. People also spread them by transporting soil or plants.
If you suspect that ants, termites, bedbugs or other pests have invaded your house, Clint Miller Exterminating can help. Mooresville residents rely on us to quickly eliminate unwanted insects and deliver long-term results. We have over three decades of pest control experience, highly skilled personnel and an excellent Better Business Bureau rating.
