Think of a football huddle. The game plan or play is discussed in quiet, in secret, so the other team doesn't hear.1. McGuinty's office confirmed the Ottawa huddle last night after weeks of trying to secure a date with the prime minister.
I like your words, plus: "it's only rational to stay focused on the issues mentioned, so as not to deal directly with the $23-billion deficit".2. "I'm going to stay focussed on our priorities, our concerns, and our particular campaign and that's for fairness in dealing with the $23-billion gap," he said.
It's a ride you find at an amusement park. It's round, has toy horses, which have poles through them. The ride goes around and around. There's no beginning and no end. A money-go-round is where money changes hands but never seems to end up being spent. The money doesn't go anywhere.Oh and the last question that just came to my mind; I wasn't planning to put this question here. What is merry-go-round?

HYANNIS — A Massachusetts newspaper says one of its longtime reporters made up sources for her stories, and it has issued an apology.
Cape Cod Times Publisher Peter Meyer and Editor Paul Pronovost said Tuesday an internal review found the reporter wrote dozens of stories with "sources who do not exist."
They say editors doing an audit of Karen Jeffrey's work can't find 69 people in 34 stories going back to 1998. They say Jeffrey admits inventing people and using fake names.
The newspaper says the bogus sourcing typically was in lighter stories, such as one about a Boston Red Sox opening game. It says in some cases none of the people quoted can be found.
A story posted on the newspaper's website says Jeffrey no longer works there.
Jeffrey hasn't returned a phone message seeking comment.

The Lady Bisons softball team ended the regular season in a big way with a 4-2 upset of the No. 11-ranked Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama 4-2 at Crockett Park Sunday afternoon.
The Lady Bisons head into the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Thursday morning as the No.3 -seed. Alabama is the top team in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference. The victory for the Lady Bisons was their fourth in a row.
"I am really proud of the way our girls played today," said Lipscomb interim head coach Cheryl Smith. "It gives us a lot of momentum going into the tournament. We need this kind of momentum going into the conference tournament for the first time."
The Lady Bisons struck first scoring one run in the first inning. Jennifer Cannon drew a walk with the bases loaded to score Jessica Wilson from third base.
The Lady Bisons then got a couple of timely hits in the third inning and scored three runs. Julia Davidson led the inning off singling through the left side. Davidson then advanced to second base on a wild pitch and then moved to third base on another wild pitch. Wilson drew a walk. Heather Collins drove a hard single to left field to score Davidson and advance Wilson to second base. Cannon then slapped a single to right field to load the bases up for Alysha Forsythe. Forsythe crushed a double to left center field to score Collins and Wilson.
The Lady Bisons closed out the game in exciting fashion. Ashley Courtney of Alabama drilled a home run to center field to lead off the seventh inning and make it a 4-2 game. Dominique Accetturo then drew a walk. Staci Ramsey flied out to left field for the first out. Dani Woods then drew a walk and advanced Accetturo to second base. Katie Johnson then struck out looking, and Lady Bisons catcher Forsythe gunned downed Deasy Phillips who was running to third base on a hit-and-run to end the game.
Forsythe led the way offensively for the Lady Bisons as she went 1-for-2 at the plate and drove in two of the four runs. Forsythe had the only extra base hit for the Lady Bisons. Forsythe closed out the regular season batting .288.
Leigh Little, Davidson and Collins each had two hits in the game for the Lady Bisons. Little went 2-for-4, and improved her batting average to .331. Davidson went 2-for-3 and scored one run. Davidson is batting.252. Collins went 2-for-4 and scored one run and drove in one. Collins leads the team in batting with a .344. average.
Starting right-handed pitcher Danielle Catalano ended her regular season career at Lipscomb in grand style as she threw five innings and gave up two hits and one earned run while striking out four batters. Catalano earned her 12 th win of the season and is now 12-9 with an earned run average of 1.91.
Sara Meek relieved Catalano. Meek closed out the game as she pitched two innings and gave up one hit and one earned run and struck out one batter. Meek earned her first save of the season and lowered her earned run average to 3.18.
The Lady Bisons scored four runs on nine hits and were flawless in the field. The Crimson Tide scored two runs on three hits and committed one error. The Crimson Tide scored both of their runs on solo home runs by Ramsey and Courtney.
The Lady Bosons travel to Boca Raton, Fla., to play in their first Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament. The Lady Bisons received a No.3-seed in the tournament and will play No.4-seeded UCF in a single game. The tournament is double elimination and continues through Saturday.

RIC has won its last three games and is in the midst of its third, three-game winning streak of the season. The 42 points allowed by RIC was also a season-low for the Anchormen, who won on the strength of their defense and the Engineers' shooting woes.
RIC had four players score in double figures, led by senior guard Andre Daley's game-high 19 points. Daley has scored 13 or more points in his last four games. Senior forward Jason Harris had 11 points and 10 rebounds, notching his seventh double-double of the season. Sophomore guard Kamari Williams, and freshman guard Davon Yarbrough chipped in with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
MIT struggled offensively and shot 30 percent from the floor (15-49). Senior forward Mike Huhs and senior guard Adam Gibbons each scored nine points in the losing effort for the Engineers. Mike D'Auria finished with a season-low eight points, and was held without an assist for the first time in his career as a starter.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Talkie makes next generation online social games. The team is comprised of experienced game designers, coders, and marketers. Our games our unique in two ways. Firstly, they get people talking - literally talking over voice over IP, - e.g. gossiping, flirting, making deals, solving mysteries, trading, collecting, and having bursts of fun. Secondly they are video driven and work in partnership with existing television shows such as reality shows, scripted shows, comedies, etc.
Our games are not about shooting, not about killing, and not about adolescent power fantasies. We are charades, not God of War.
In case you are not aware online "social games" are games that run in social networks such as Facebook and Myspace. Well known social game companies are Zynga, Playdom, Playfish, RockYou, Crowdstar, and MindJolt. Well known social game titles are Farmville, Cafe World, Mafia Wars, Pet Society, Poker, Social City, and Tiki Resort.
Talkie prides itself on:
1) creating engaging play experiences
2) allowing fans of a partner television show to have a deeper experience online
3) being easy to use
4) appealing to both women and men
5) helping friends stay in touch
Things people do in our games:

We want people to trust Talkie and feel good about spending time with our games.
The target audience for Talkie games are social network users, female and male, ages 26-50.
The demographics for social game players is surprisingly broad. In fact it matches the demographics for CBS and NBC prime time - e.g. 30 Rock, The Office, Two and a Half Men, Amazing Race, etc. The average user of a social game is a 43 year old female.
Users spend a lot of time with social games and thus they will spend a lot of time looking at our logo.
Typeface should be clear and legible when shrunk down.
Okay - but not required - to supplement type with simple illustrations (perhaps evoking people talking or laughing).
Should evoke playfulness, quality, and trust. Inspirational logos include:
NBC, Playfish, Playfirst, The Sims, Naughty Dog, Meteor Games.

Hi Jonathon,
I am the proud owner of a 2002 WS6 Trans Am and I am looking to purchase a c5z in the near future. At the end of episode #4, you mentioned how your c6 was a wonderful car to drive, but it wasn't the love of your life like your c5 z06. I was hoping you could expand on that comment by giving details of your experience with your c5z. How does it compare to your c6? Why did you get rid of your c5z? Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to drive many corvettes so I was hoping you could offer your opinion on these cars. I love my TA bc it's a perfect mix of old-school muscle and modern technology, and based on my research, the c5z will offer the same type of raw driving experience as my TA. Is the c6 raw and visceral, or is it too refined? Have you driven a c6 z06 and if so, how did it compare to your c5z? I realize c6 z06 is a far superior performer, but I feel like the c5z offers a nicer exhaust note and a more visceral seat of the pants feel.

This blog chronicles a movement to correct an injustice and get an IISER to Odisha. In 12/2003, the then HRD minister and the president had announced 4 National Inst. of Sc.(NIS) at Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Pune and Allahabad. The 2004-05 announcements of IISERs at Pune and Kolkata overrode that. Thus ensued a successful movement to correct this injustice, especially with respect to Odisha.

People were raising money to develop video games on Kickstarter before March 2012, but it wasn't until Tim Schafer's Double Fine asked for some cash to develop a new adventure game that the crowd-funding website became a house hold name in the game's industry. Tim Schafer wanted to make a new point-and-click adventure in the trademark style of his early years with LucasArts, making games like Full Throttle and Grim Fandango. The Double Fine Adventure, as it was known at the time, raised $1 million in its first day on Kickstarter, and closed with more than $3.3 million. It's been a long, patient year for those backers that so eagerly parted with their cash. The wait is almost over. Double Fine announced Broken Age, the true name of Schafer's new adventure, at PAX East.
"Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure telling the stories of a young boy and girl leading parallel lives," reads Double Fine's description of the game, "The girl has been chosen by he village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster-but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship living a solitary life under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good work."
Schafer has a history of making spectacular games about young people trying to change their lot in life. Psychonauts, Schafer's cultish-ly adored platformer for the original Xbox, PC, and PlayStation 2 and Double Fine's very first game, is about a boy who runs away from his family's circus to become a psychic secret agent (and attend a fun summer camp).
Double Fine is taking pre-orders for the game, and those that plunk down $30 for a Linux, PC, or Mac version of the game will also get access to many of the same perks that Kickstarter backers got during the 2012 campaign. These perks include access to a private web forum as well as episodes of 2-Player Productions' documentary about the making of the game.
Broken Age will also mark Double Fine's turn away from the big consoles of Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. Schafer intimated in December that Double Fine may stick to PC and mobile platforms only in the future. Technically, the game will be available for one home console: OUYA. OUYA's Julie Uhrman and Double Fine announced at DICE in February that the adventure game would be an OUYA console exclusive. Strangely, though, the OUYA is mentioned nowhere on Broken Age's website.

Henry R. Luce Gallery (28)
Exhibition Overview
One Way or Another: Asian American Art Now brings together 17 artists from across the country who challenge and extend the category of Asian-American art.
The title of the exhibition, inspired by the 1970s Blondie hit, suggests that there has never been a formulaic way of making or seeing art, and these artists initiate new conversations that highlight the multidimensional ways of conceptualizing and producing art today.
The artists are all at least part Asian—with cultural roots in China, India, Iran, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, the U.S. and Vietnam—and came of age in the U.S. during the late 1970s and 1980s. Moving away from the identity politics of Asian-American artists a generation earlier, the artists in One Way or Another present work that reveals the freedom to choose, manipulate, and reinvent different kinds of languages and issues, whether formal, conceptual or political. The artists and their work defy a definitive conception of Asian-American art.
The artists: Michael Arcega, Xavier Cha, Patty Chang, Binh Danh, Mari Eastman, Ala Ebtekar, Chitra Ganesh, Glenn Kaino, Geraldine Lau, Jiha Moon, Laurel Nakadate, Kaz Oshiro, Ann Sew Hoy, Jean Shin, Indigo Som, Mika Tajima, Saira Wasim
Special programming:
June 26: Artist discussion
Karin Higa, co-curator of One Way or Another and senior curator of art at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, will have an on-stage conversation with artists Michael Arcega, Jean Shin and Mika Tajima. Doris Duke Theatre; 7:30pm; free
Visiting artists
For One Way or Another, the Academy has invited artists Michael Arcega, Geraldine Lau, Jean Shin and Mika Tajima to Honolulu to install their works, beginning June 10. Shin is involving the local art community by soliciting sweaters from Asian-American artists, and working with a group of local artists and students selected by the Academy to install her work "Unraveling." The artists' visit is made possible by a grant from the Laila Twigg-Smith Art Fund of the Hawaii Community Foundation.
One Way or Another: Asian American Art Now was organized by
The Asia Society, New York, with support from Altria Group, Inc., the W.L.S. Spencer Foundation, Nimoy Foundation, and Asia Society's Contemporary Art Council.
Major funding for the Honolulu presentation is also provided by Ron and Sanne Higgins and ARTafterDARK. In-kind support is provided by Sony Corporation, Hawaii.

Israel is not so familiar with seeing snowfall within its borders. So naturally, we needed to come up with a practical alternative. World of Judaica presents Israeli Snow Globes—the fool proof way to watch your favorite Israeli cities get coated in that fluffy white powder.
There is a wide ranging variety of snow globes offered at World of Judaica. Many of our globes have Jerusalem written across the base, shown with either a Menorah or famous Jerusalem scenes and landmarks. One can choose from a number of objects they'd like within the globe, such as a Menorah, the Star of David, a Hamsa, or even the Old City.
Maybe you prefer a map of Israel or the Jerusalem tower inside your globe. Choose between a colorful base or a more simple and refined silver and gold one. The outer walls of the Old City are a great base as well.
Snow globes have been around for generations and make for the perfect gift for people at any age.
All of our snow globes are either silver plated or made from ceramic.
If you would like to browse some more gift ideas, visit our Israeli Souvenirs or Jewish Home categories.

Termite-Inspired Robots Build With Bricks
Ponedjeljak, 17 Veljača 2014 00:00
A termite mound is a model of insect engineering. Some are meters high and consist of a complex network of tunnels. Even more impressive, millions of the bugs work together to build the mound, all without a blueprint or foreman telling them what to do. Could robots do the same? That's a question that has now been tackled by Justin Werfel, a computer scientist at Harvard University Today, he and his colleagues introduced a computer program that figures out how autonomous robots can make specific structures, including small-scale skyscrapers and pyramids, simply by following the same set of rules. The researchers started small, tasking three compact robots, or bots, with making a one-story, three-pronged structure all on their own, a job they completed in 30 minutes.

Biomes are the various regions of our planet that can best be distinguished by their climate, fauna and flora. There are different ways of classifying biomes but the common elements are climate, habitat, animal and plant adaptation, biodiversity and human activity.
© L to R: Peter Prokosch / WWF; Hartmut Jungius / WWF; Jürgen Freund / WWF; Mauri Rautkari / WWF; Edward Parker / WWF
It is important to know the inter-relationship between each of these elements in a biome. A change in one affects the other directly or indirectly. Scientists argue on the exact number, or different types of biomes in existence but they are commonly classified as grasslands, forests, deserts, aquatic and tundra.
Major biome types
Worldbiomes.com is about the world's major biomes. See the featured websites, the essential reading. There is a map of the world's major biomes. This site explains in simple terms what distinguishes one biome from the other. For example a desert may have an unusual amount of vegetation and wildlife but not enough to be classified as grassland.
Why organize natural world into biomes?
To understand why biomes are classified the way they are, you should know what characterizes a biome. Biomes (bioclimatic zones) are appropriate divisions by which to organize the natural world, because the organisms that live in each of them possess common constellations of adaptations to them, in particular to the climate of each of the zones and to the characteristic vegetation types that develop in them.
All the elements of a biome exist in some meaningful relationship with each other, and change in one say the habitat, leads to a change in the biome.
The original hunter/gatherer populations had relatively little effect on the environment, but with population increase, they have hunted out substantial proportion of large animals, and caused habitat destruction by small-scale slash-and-burn agriculture and large-scale land clearing for ranching and farming.
Explore different biomes
Visit the NASA site to explore different biomes. Different scientists classify biomes in different ways. This site, for example lists Tundra, Coniferous Forests, Grasslands, Shrublands, Rainforests, Temperate Deciduous Forests and Deserts as biomes. What it highlights is the distinguishing feature of each of these biomes.
For example, it says that the desert only gets 10 percent of the rain that a rainforest gets! The site has links to other educational sites that show examples of different biomes, such as the Desert Life in the American Northwest. It also has interesting activities like matching precipitation graphs with locations and matching different plant life with the right biome.
A closer look at Desert biome
Deserts seem to be the most inhospitable biome for humans but humans have been able to adapt to desert life for hundreds of years. As long as traditional lifestyles remained in effect, the human impact on the desert was not severe. Desert dwellers understood the need to maintain balance between themselves and their environment.
With rapid population growth and firearms, animals were hunted down. Several popular desert plants such as cacti, and animals such as lizards, are sold at high prices to collectors. Many of these species are threatened as a result. Desertification continues at a fast rate. Visit this page to know how humans adapt to desert life and how human life and activity affects the desert. Read how oil drilling, hunting, irrigation changed the face of the desert in different areas of the planet.
Conservation and preservation of biomes
Biomes have changed many times during the history of life on Earth. Different biomes have different effect on the planet. The world's oceans have an even greater effect on global climate than forests do. More recently, human activities have drastically altered these communities.
Thus, conservation and preservation of biomes should be a major concern to all. We must understand how human activity affects these biomes. Aquatic biomes are the most valuable and they are also more threatened by pollution.
Visit this website for information on all these aspects.
It is important to know the inter-relationship between each of these elements in a biome. A change in one affects the other directly or indirectly. Scientists argue on the exact number, or different types of biomes in existence but they are commonly classified as grasslands, forests, deserts, aquatic and tundra.

High Tech Cows & Open Source Farm Equipment: Yes, The Economics Of Farming Is Relevant
from the innovation-impacts-lots-of-industries dept
- Stay on top of technological change.
- Focus. Specialize on the things you can do best.
- Find some way to buffer yourself against unexpected changes that are definitely coming.
- Find something that you can sell that your customers are willing to pay a premium for because you've given them something they want which no one else can give them.
To some extent, it's like the differences we've talked about between gatekeepers and enablers. The gatekeepers wanted to be at the center of things and control all aspects of production, distribution, etc. But in a world of enablers there's much more specialization. So, for example, in the music world, musicians can pick and choose from best-of-breed solutions to help create, distribute, promote and monetize their work, rather than just relying on a single provider.
Not much time is spent on the third point, but there's a brief discussion about financial tools to help buffer the swings in the market -- things like grain futures and such, which are really just forms of insurance to protect in a volatile market. I'm a little less interested in this particular point. I think it can be important in some industries but is less of a key point long term.
But the fourth point was what I found the most interesting, and obviously fits most closely with some of the theories and business models I've espoused for years: sell something scarce which people want to buy. But, in a commoditized world such as farming, how is that even possible? Well, we hear the same thing in the music world all the time, where people insist that there's nothing to sell but the music, but then we see lots of folks get creative and do amazingly creative things. And the same thing is clearly happening on the Fulper Farm as well -- thanks in part to the youngest generation, who attended my own alma mater (Go Big Red!), and is applying some of what she learned about being more entrepreneurial back to the farm.
She's trying out a few things to take some special facets of what the farm has available, for which they can charge a premium:
Breanna realized they kept talking about this "problem" they had. They're really close to New York City. Land is really expensive in Northern New Jersey. There's not an agricultural world there, so they have to travel really far to buy ag equipment. There's all these problems being so close to New York City. And she realized, by using her farm as a case study in college, that being so close to the City might be the best way to make money. It might be their secret to being a successful farm. I looked and I couldn't find any farm closer to New York City. I think this is the closest one to Brooklyn... And people in Brooklyn are kind of obsessed with farming....Hello alternative revenue streams. I'm sure the purists will insist that just like a musician should only sell music, a dairy farmer should only sell dairy products. But a smart business person finds ways to capitalize on real scarcities, and that's exactly what Breanna appears to have done with the Fulper Farms.
Breanna has figured out that there's money in that. She's working with a cheese maker who's going to help them make a premium Fulper-branded cheese. You and I, some time soon, can go to our local shop and buy really, really local... this is "the closest cheese to Brooklyn."...
Breanna had this other idea. Did you know that you could send your two daughters for a week to summer camp at Fulper Farms?.... Families pay a few hundred bucks, their kids have an awesome week experiencing agriculture.... You know what's amazing? A few weeks of summer camp that Breanna did as a college project? Brings in almost as much money as a whole year of milking cows.
The report concludes with another key point that we've definitely seen in the music business as well. Davidson notes that there's a lot more opportunity, and the average farm is now making more money than in the past, but it's a lot more volatile, and lots of the old guard simply don't make the transition well. Once again, this sounds mighty familiar.
It's kind of neat to see the parallels between such different industries when it comes down to the basic economics of progress and technological change.
Along those lines, perhaps there are even more parallels moving into the future. As I was working on this post, Leigh passed along a TED talk from about a year ago by Marcin Jakubowski, who is taking the concepts of the maker culture and the open source ethos and applying it to farming. It seems like an appropriate thing to end this post with, so check it out:

A search through microfilmed parish registers in Ireland can often take many hours. However, from time to time the long searches can be interspersed with illuminating comments made by the parish priests. The 'legitimacy' of a new born baby and reputation of the parents are usually the focus.
A transcription of baptisms from the Mourne Lower Roman Catholic parish in Co. Down has the following observation in relation to the baptism of twins Eliza Jane and Patrick on 24 September 1855[1]: "Their father is of Mullertown and is generally called Buggy and is of the worst character."

Beautiful dress indeed, but i do also think that it won't suit me, because i need it in size 48.
Feb 14, 2012, 06.45 AMby Itsbeensewlong
This dress looks fabulous! But don't think it would suit my body shape unfortunately…. however maybe could drop the waist and would be more flattering on us "box" shape girls….. :)

May 10, 2012, 05.28 PMby leashbeangood thinking! I think that the pattern allows you to add the waist elastic anywhere you like! The one thing I love about this simple pattern is that it doesnt just go straight from the waist! it has that girly flared skirt. that would add some curve to a box ,would it not?

Please, did anyone make this dress in smaller size than what the pattern calls for? Or could anyone help me make it smaller? I am size 34, I have purchased the pattern, spent a lot of time trying to make it smaller, but with no success. Could anyone help me? Thanks!

What i do when making a simple pattern like this smaller or bigger is:
1) look at the garments measurements ( i look at the "finished garment" measurements, if listed, if not, measure actual pattern with tape measure— don't count in seam allowance)
2) then take the difference, for instance if the pattern at the bust or waist or hip is 3 inches bigger than you want then keep in mind -3.
3) divide that number by 4( the amount of seams)
4) 3/4 = .75 ", take this amount off each of the seams at the desired point.
does this make sense?
also you can do this the bust, waist and hip and then make a smooth curve or line to your new measurements.

The materials section does not list bias tape, but the first step in the pattern calls for it. Where did this bias tape come from?

Nice dress. Didn't know there was a pattern for an easy fit drop shoulder number so drafted a pattern for myself. Must finish it soon and post it.
Jun 22, 2010, 04.11 PMby eddajo
I bought the pattern but am having a heck of a time printing out pages 10 to 13. In the PDF, those pages are showing up in landscape, and none of my fiddling has gotten those pages to print out in the right orientation. Has anyone else had this problem?
Aug 11, 2009, 08.18 PMby mjs130
Wasn't this pattern free? Given that one has to pay for printing or make the effort of printing the pattern and piecing it together, I am disappointed that Burda is charging for almost every pattern now.

|Sterna (1)
Weighing just 70 grams at maturity, the fairy tern is one of the smallest terns breeding in Australasia (3) (4). During the breeding season, this diminutive seabird has a black crown, pale grey upperparts, a white forehead, throat, chest and belly, an orange/yellow bill and orange legs (2) (3) (4). With the onset of the non-breeding season, the crown fades into a mottled black and white, while the bill and legs become duller in colour (3) (4). The sexes are alike in appearance, and juvenile fairy terns have a similar plumage to the non-breeding adults (3). Three subspecies, which occupy different parts of the fairy tern's overall range, are recognised: Sterna nereis nereis, S. n. exsul and S. n. davisae (2) (5).
Feeding almost entirely on fish (2), the fairy tern hunts on the wing, hovering three to ten metres above the sea surface, before plunging steeply into the water, emerging again seconds later. In addition to fish, crustaceans, plant material and snails have also been found in the stomach of this tern (3).
Whilst the fairy tern breeds in colonies in Australia, some of which can be fairly large (3), in New Zealand breeding pairs generally nest alone, with gaps of up to several kilometres between nests (5). Usually one to two eggs are laid each season (2), except in the event of a lost clutch, in which case pairs generally re-nest (5). Both sexes share incubation duties, and, after hatching, care of the chicks (3). After fledging, the young remain with the parent birds for several months, during which time they learn to fish for themselves (5).
The migratory habits of the fairy tern are poorly understood, with some populations migrating over winter, such as in Tasmania, whilst others appear to remain in the same area year round (3).
The subspecies Sterna nereis nereis occurs in Western Australian, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria; S. n. exsul is restricted to New Caledonia; and S. n. davisae is only found in northern New Zealand (2) (5).
The fairy tern usually breeds on sandy beeches on sheltered mainland coastlines and nearby islands (2).
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Over large parts of its range, the fairy tern is subject to a variety of threats, including predation by introduced species, habitat degradation through development and farming, human disturbance, and extreme weather events (2) (4) (5). Of the three subspecies, the New Zealand fairy tern is most at risk, with a population that has teetered on the brink of extinction since the 1970s, and is currently recognised as the country's rarest indigenous breeding bird. Despite being relatively widespread and common in the 19th century, the New Zealand fairy tern plummeted to just three pairs, at three separate breeding sites, in 1984 (5) (6). Fortunately, in response to intensive management, the number of breeding pairs has slowly increased, with the New Zealand population estimated at around 35 to 40 individuals as of 2006 (2) (5) (6). Although the population in Australia is considerably larger, with the number of mature individuals estimated in the low thousands, it has declined rapidly over the last thirty years, particularly in South Australia, where inappropriate water level management has led to a collapse in prey species. Less information is available on the New Caledonian subspecies, but numbers have certainly declined, with just 100 to 200 pairs remaining (2).
The rebound in the New Zealand fairy tern population since 1984, is attributable to the fencing off of nesting sites, and the work of wardens and volunteers who maintain the fences and trap predators (4) (5) (6). The latest recovery plan for the New Zealand subspecies, which was approved in 2005, sets out measures to increase the breeding population further. Some of the key recovery actions include continued protection of nesting sites, predator control, habitat enhancements, and the improved usage of captive breeding facilities (5). In Australia, many colonies are regularly monitored, and proposals have been made for more rigorous conservation measures such as those already in practice in New Zealand (2).

Are we *really* gonna talk about localism at a spot within the city limits of a major metropolitan area like San Francisco? Please.
Wed and Thurs were the most crowded I've EVER seen it. I counted 25+ kites up at Kelly's alone. But good news: it's only crowded in ONE place. There's 3 miles of beach at OB folks... we *can* spread out a bit...

NIPTON, Calif. — Gerald Freeman unlocks the gate to the small power plant and goes inside. Three rows of solar collectors, elevated on troughs that track the sun's arc like sunflowers, afford a glimpse of California's possible energy future.
This facility and a smaller version across the road produce some 70 kilowatts of electricity, about 80% of the power required by Nipton's 60 residents, its general store and motel.
Freeman, a Caltech-trained geologist and one-time gold mine owner, understood when he bought this former ghost town near the Nevada border that being off the grid didn't have to mean going without power.
PHOTOS: Solar power in Nipton, Calif.
He contracted with a Bay Area company to install solar arrays on two plots of land. The town has a 20-year agreement to buy its power at a below-market rate.

NASCAR Ticket Renewal Deadline Set for Jan. 15
With test sessions keeping NASCAR teams busy in preparation for next month's season-opening races, the Jan. 15 deadline draws near for New Hampshire Motor Speedway season and individual ticket holders to reserve their seats for the two NASCAR Sprint Cup weekends in July and September.
As an added incentive for all guests who purchase or renew tickets by the deadline for the New Hampshire 300 on Sunday, July 14 or the SYLVANIA 300 on Sunday, Sept. 22, an extra 25 percent off all pre-race pit passes and camping spaces (excluding Reserved RV) will be applied.
For those renewing season tickets to both NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races, guests will earn a Loud'N'Proud membership, the speedway's perks program that gives its members VIP event pricing, discounts on merchandise, first priority notification on special speedway offers and much more. Loud'N'Proud members will also be entered into a chance to celebrate the start of the NASCAR season with an event at F1 Boston, which will include go-kart racing, lunch and a viewing of the season-opening Sprint Cup Series race with New Hampshire Motor Speedway officials.
Valued at $100, the pre-race pit pass allows fans to experience a NASCAR race day from a crew member's perspective, while the camping allows fans to make the Magic Mile their exclusive race-week residence in 2013.
For those fans a little short on cash after the holidays, NHMS offers an interest-free payment plan, which allows fans to secure their tickets, camping spots and pre-race pit passes with a 25 percent deposit. The remaining balance is then spread out over three, interest-free payments.
This is sure to be a monumental season as NASCAR unveils its new Gen-6 car, which fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. recently tabbed as a car that will revolutionize the sport.
NHMS offers an interest-free payment plan, which allows fans to secure their tickets, camping spots and pre-race pit passes with a 25 percent deposit. The remaining balance is then spread out over three interest-free payments.

Why The DOJ's Legal Defense That 'All' Info May Be 'Relevant' For The NSA Is Legally Hogwash
from the just-not-true dept
I'd suggest reading the entire thing, because it also delves deeply into why the cases that the government does cite don't really support its claims.
A case that comes to mind is In re Grand Jury Subpoena Duces Tecum Dated Nov. 15, 1993, 846 F.Supp. 11 (S.D.N.Y. 1994) (Mukasey, J.). In that case, then-Judge (later Attorney General) Michael Mukasey quashed a grand jury subpoena that sought all computers and all electronic storage devices possessed by the target corporation. The subpoena failed Rule 17′s "relevance" standard because the computers contained so much irrelevant material intermingled with the data that was relevant to the investigation:
Government counsel have conceded on behalf of the grand jury that the subpoena demands irrelevant documents. Moreover, the government has acknowledged that a "key word" search of the information stored on the devices would reveal "which of the documents are likely to be relevant to the grand jury's investigation." Id. at 3. It follows that a subpoena demanding documents containing specified key words would identify relevant documents without requiring the production of irrelevant documents. To the extent the grand jury has reason to suspect that subpoenaed documents are being withheld, a court-appointed expert could search the hard drives and floppy disks.
"[B]ecause the subpoena at issue unnecessarily demands documents that are irrelevant to the grand jury inquiry," Mukasey concluded, "it is unreasonably broad under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(c)."
Mukasey's decision seems to cut against the Administration's position. It blocks a subpoena for all the electronically-stored information because lots of the information to be obtained is not relevant even thought some of it is. Plus, the opinion is written by a recent Attorney General of the United States, which should give it extra prominence. And it's a lot more significant a precedent than are Fourth Amendment cases involving warrants to search computers: Warrants do not apply the relevance doctrine while subpoenas do, so it seems odd to discuss the cases about computer warrants but not the cases on computer subpoenas. But the "white paper" doesn't mention this case, so we don't know if the Administration has a response to it– or if the FISC was ever alerted to it.
But, the real issue here is that this is the kind of thing you get when you have a secret process with a secret court and secret rulings -- with no adversarial hearings at all. It allows one side -- in this case the DOJ -- to make incredibly weak arguments based on distorting existing case law and completely ignoring much more relevant case law, and then getting away with it because no one's there to point out how misleading the defense is. No wonder the DOJ has fought for so many years to avoid having to reveal the legal interpretation of Section 215 that explains the secret interpretation for why 215 allows the scooping up of all phone records. Someone must realize that it would immediately be shown to be lacking. But, when you know that no one is seriously reviewing these things, and those who have the most interest in actually protecting our civil liberties are kept in the dark, you can get away with incredibly sloppy legal defenses. And it appears that's exactly what the DOJ did here.
And it's just all of our privacy that was trampled on in the process.

There's a great new tool available to the California cotton industry, but it can't be bought from suppliers or used in fields. It's the Central Coast Cotton Conference – an annual continuing education production conference held each November.
The conference, now in its third year, is receiving great industry support and participants praise its interactive format and valuable insight.
"Cotton is the name of my game," said Sam Carreiro – a cotton grower and certified pest control advisor from Lemoore, Calif. "Even though I've been working with cotton for 30 years, you're never done learning. It's good to look back at the end of the year and compare notes with other growers, consultants and PCAs (pest control advisors) and get feedback."
Carreiro is a partner of Ben Carreiro & Sons. He said he enjoys the conference, which he has attended since it began in 2003, and he plans to return this year. The conference is California's only cotton production. It will be held November 16-18 at the Cliffs Resort in Shell Beach, California.
The two-day meeting focuses on issues specific to California and is taught in an interactive – rather than lecture – format. Participants from cotton growing regions throughout California and beyond attend the meeting, which provides pest control advisors, growers, consultants and certified agronomists an opportunity to earn continuing education credits. It also gives them a chance to learn, interact and relax.
The conference began in 2003 as the brainchild of Lowell Zelinski – a private consultant with 25 years experience in the cotton industry who is considered one of California's premiere cotton experts. He holds a doctorate in soil-water-plant relations from the University of California, Davis and is a former University of California Cooperative Extension agent. He has also worked for two major U.S. cotton seed companies and taught at four California State Universities.
Zelinski's cotton expertise and his love for teaching are the primary reasons he started the conference.
"For many years the University of California has held short courses on many crops but cotton was never one of them," Zelinski said. "I had been conducting in-field training for pest control advisors when my wife and business partner decided we should try holding a conference."
Continuing education
The Zelinskis also started the conference because they believe that now, more than ever, continuing education is a crucial part of keeping the California cotton industry viable.
"With declining acreage and the production challenges facing growers today, it's crucial that they, and the decision-makers they rely on, keep abreast of what's going on and keep their skills honed. And that's what the conference is all about," Zelinski said.
The meeting features sessions taught by Zelinski and other experts. The general sessions include an overview of cotton production and agronomy led by Zelinski. New for 2005, Zelinski's session will include an in-depth look at irrigation management.
Also new this year is the inclusion of an expanded pest management session and a one unit session on laws and regulations.

March 18, 2008
In front of a record crowd of 1,414, the Bisons achieved another first by defeating the University of Tennessee for the first time in the teams' five total meetings.
The former record was set last season when Belmont came to Ken Dugan Field was 1,226.
The Vols struck first plating a run in the first against Bisons' starter, Josh Smith. However, it did not take Lipscomb long to respond, with Blake Bratcher scoring on a passed ball in the bottom of the second inning.
Tennessee got the run back in the top of the third on an RBI single by Shawn Griffin.
Caleb Joseph helped the Bisons tie the game at two, driving in Jorge Gutierrez to even out the score.
Meanwhile, despite walking four and hitting two Vols batters with pitches, Smith gave the Bisons a solid performance, going six innings while giving up just two runs on five hits while striking out seven.
Smith was relieved by right-hander Charles Williams to start the seventh. After getting a 1-2-3 inning in the seventh, Williams got into some trouble in the eighth. With runners on first and third and no outs, Jeff Lockwood hit a single to center that looked almost certain to bring home the go ahead run for the Vols. However, Bisons centerfielder, Allen Bolden fired a strike to catcher, Joseph, who applied the tag for the out.
"It changed the game," Bolden said. "They came in and brought who they thought was their best pitcher for the situation, and we were able to score. If they had of been one run up it might have been a different game. It just changed the momentum of the game and we took advantage of it."
One out later, right-hander, Kyle Tognazzini was brought in with runners on second and third. After he hit the first batter he faced, he got Alan Wright to look at a called third strike for the final out of the inning.
"It was great for his confidence," Bolden said of Tognazzini. "He's a bulldog he fights on the mound. That's what you've got to have when you're facing good SEC teams."
The Bisons made the Vols pay for their missed opportunities in the bottom of the inning when with one out, Shane Simpkins singled to center to give the Bisons their first lead of the night.
"It was a 1-2 breaking ball, pretty good pitch," Simpkins said. "It caught a lot of the plate and I was able to get the barrel on the ball and hit it in the right spot."
However, the Bisons offense didn't stop there. With two outs, Bolden added an RBI single, while Joseph added to the lead with a two-run double to give the Bisons a 6-2 lead.
Tennessee attempted a rally in the top of the ninth, scoring two runs, but that is was close as they would come.
Tognazzini earned the win to improve his record to 1-0. Burnett recorded the save, his second of the season.
The Bisons will take on another SEC opponent when they face Vanderbilt University tomorrow, March 19, at 6 p.m.

Users Revolt Over Blizzard's Requirement Of 'Real Names' In Forum Comments
from the not-everyone-wants-to-be-known-as-a-gamer dept
There are some legitimate privacy concerns here as well, as some note that there is a stigma attached to people who play such games in certain areas, and that it could scare off lots of people who would like to partake in the forums, but would prefer Google searches on their names don't reveal to the world their WoW obsession. Others worry that in the heated world of online gaming, it really might not be such a good thing for people to know the real names of others that they play with.
I can understand the desire to bring about more civility to a forum (though, let's face it, we're talking about a game where civility is not exactly the main goal), but it seems like this step goes far beyond the comfort level of many participants.
Update: Well, it looks like with enough user complaints, Blizzard has backed down.

lol I don't think I could handle a girl like that, and I'm as easy going and patient as they get.
Altho I do have to admit that Asami was very cute was a very cutre chapter all around, especially the flashbacks. I was like "OMG thats just teh cutest thing ever!"
I'm now off to vent some of my sadness about this great series coming to a end so soon, I think some head popping on CSS is in order!!

I don't like the fact that Haruna really hasn't changed that much. Still hasn't learned to friggin dress by herself without making a mess?
Also, what's this about not seeing each other for a year? Shouldn't they have visited each other during breaks?
Last but not least, not enough Mami. What happened to her?

A Disappointing end.
It was so rushed and it seemed to be more like a flashback with Haruna and Yoh when they first encountered.
Good manga at the beginning which became less comic towards the end and lacked of real plot except Haruna's indecisive way of expressing her feelings to Yoh and mutually Yoh, inability to not seem uptight around her.
So good manga, but not great for what I have read.

There's a one-shot chapter translated by NCIS available called Enren Debut taking place one month after Yoh left for Tokyo. This one shot chapter is dealing with some of the most common hardships when maintaining a long-distance relationship but ends pretty sweet. It's worth checking out, especially for you guys who can't get enough of this series

yea nice little one shot, very cute.
I still love the fact that Asami has a sort of resentment for Haruna going out with Yoh yet she won't do anything unless Haruna is gonna do it

Travel Tips You Can't Leave Home Without
Whether for business or pleasure, traveling can be a fun experience. One thing that makes your travel miserable is having to pay too much money. These tips will show you how to summer(sommerfest) travel economically and still have a good time getting there.
If you are a woman traveling event oslo overnight on business, be sure that the blouses and underthings you wear and bring can be washed in the sink and hung up or blow-dried. Missed luggage and/or connections can mean you arrive at a hotel late at night, with only the clothes on your back to wear the next day. Lightweight, wrinkle-free polyester or microfiber blouses and tops can be washed and hung up, and will be dry in the morning, as will all your lingerie.
Make sure you carry a bottle of water with you. Whether you find yourself out in the wilderness or in a bustling city, having a bottle of water on your person at all times is never a bad idea. These are especially easy to keep handy if you carry a purse.
While planning for your vacation/båttur, be flexible with your destination choice. While it can be fun to establish a routine by revisiting a favorite vacation spot, maintaining some variety in destinations makes your vacations more memorable and relaxing. You can even save additional money if you find another exciting vacation spot.
When booking your beach party hotel stay, pay attention to cancellation policies and fees for date changes. Prepaying for a cheaper rate only benefits you if you can definitely travel on those dates. If you might have to change dates, you can save more money by paying a higher rate at a hotel with a more lenient cancellation policy.
Scan your passport and email a copy to yourself. It rarely happens, but in the chance that you lose your passport during your travels, this will be a lifesaver. Getting a replacement passport can be a headache and having a copy can make the process much faster and less traumatic.
Try getting in a big workout before you board the plane. This will help you avoid the tediousness of long flights. Your legs and back can cramp up from sitting a long time. Stretching or working out before taking a flight can help reduce soreness.
A great way to get some sleep on an airplane is by bringing an eye mask. Even when you close your eyes, you can still see the different colors and shapes in front of you. With an eye mask, that will allow it to be completely blacked out, allowing much better chance of sleep.
If you have questions about the hotel, the best time to call is around midnight. The people working the desk most likely aren't busy and will be able to give you their full attention. If you call during the day, most likely they've got people there in person and others calling on the phone to distract them.
Apply these tips to your trip and you will find it a lot less stressful. Saving money is a surefire way to get more enjoyment out of any trip.

American Masters "James Levine: America's Maestro" To celebrate his 40th anniversary at the Metropolitan Opera, conductor James Levine's life and current work are the subject of a documentary that captures the essence of his unparalleled musicianship and his singular teaching and performance style, while looking back at creative milestones since his Met debut in 1971 at the age of 28. Over the past 12 months, filmmaker Susan Froemke has followed Levine. Included in the film are intimate scenes between the maestro and longtime collaborator Placido Domingo as they rehearse Verdi's Simon Boccanegra; intense rehearsals with the Met Orchestra as they prepare for their first performance of Beethoven's 5th Symphony at Carnegie Hall; and Levine's poignant coaching sessions with aspiring young singers preparing to launch their careers.

Partly because they tend to be the best places for high quality wines. Are you saying that in the Levant vineyards are more likely to be competing with other forms of agriculture? Perhaps because agriculture in general is more difficult...?

I have always believed that wine drinking was something that was "off limits" for the Christian, however, after an in-depth study of scripture, I believe that enjoying wine is a liberty that we have, providing we use it responsibly.
I am likely going to be getting married next year, and I would love to have a glass of wine once in a while for a special dinner together as a couple, starting with our honeymoon!
Thank you!

Robert first welcome to the forum. Second, I am going to take exception with your characterization of having a glass once in a while with special dinners (only?). I heartily endorse the practice of a glass or three with dinner everyday!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the second consecutive game, the MIT field hockey team lost by a 2-0 margin, this time coming at the hands of Mount Holyoke College on Saturday. Both squads' NEWMAC records moved to 1-1 while the Engineers' overall ledger lowered to 4-6 as the Lyons' improved to 4-4.
Mount Holyoke dominated the offensive zone during the first half as it posted nine shots and eight penalty corners. The Lyons eventually got on the board when Mary Kate Switchenko converted a feed from Katelyn Frick for the eventual game-winner at the 17:51 mark. With five minutes remaining in the frame, Jaimie Macari notched an unassisted goal to give the Lyons a 2-0 edge at the break.
MIT came out strong in the second stanza as it out-shot Mount Holyoke, 13-10. Unfortunately, the Engineers could not get past goalkeeper Allie Walsh, who recorded 14 saves. Alexa Herman also made 14 stops in net for Tech.
