Liz Phair's 'Exile In Guyville' Live
A lot has changed in the 15 years since Liz Phair first unleashed her provocative and playfully raunchy album Exile in Guyville. The sexually charged and profane songs, though still compelling, seem almost tame by today's standards. The novelty of chick-rock has long since passed, as countless other women have joined the mix. And Phair herself now says that Exile is, in retrospect, more a sad testament to her personal struggles and vulnerability than an empowering statement.
But Exile in Guyville still resonates — if not for its faded shock value, then for its brilliant songcraft. It remains a vivid, beautifully realized pastiche of hard rock, moody piano pieces and power-pop. Phair's piercing but wryly delivered confessionals, her ringing guitar and muscular riffs, and producer Brad Wood's crisp studio work spawned countless imitators. Exile was a remarkably confident and virtually flawless debut, and 15 years later, it remains a classic.
Since its release, Phair has distanced herself somewhat from the album that made her famous. She says that she avoided listening to it for many years. The kind of music Phair wanted to make evolved as she grew older, and she grew less interested in exploring the themes of Exile. Recalling the feelings the album dredges up hasn't always been easy.
"In a weird way, the reason I can play the record now and be emotionally present in it is because I'm not the same person," Phair tells NPR's Alex Cohen. "I've worked long and hard on personal growth because I wasn't that happy — the thread of that record is pain."
While Matador Records originally released Exile in Guyville and sold hundreds of thousands of copies, the album eventually fell out print. ATO recently acquired rights to the recordings and released a special, 15th-anniversary edition of the CD this summer, adding four previously unreleased tracks.
In spite of her misgivings, Phair agreed to mark the 15th anniversary of Exile in Guyville with a limited tour, performing the entire album in select cities. Phair tells NPR's Alex Cohen the concerts have been cathartic. "It's pretty fun to go through the songs and have the resonance between way back then and now, and I can certainly play them a lot better than I did when it first came out. It's a nice closure in a weird way. It kind of puts it to bed the right way this time."
This performance by Phair was recorded live at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, Calif., on Oct. 5. Alex Cohen hosts.

Last week, for the last time, I arrived in Dunedin as an
Just as I drive around the corner and pull up beside the
driveway, Snoopy's Christmas begins to play on the radio. I
pull out from the kerb and begin to circle the block. Dammit,
I love Christmas time. I revel in the decorated streetscape;
the sparkling lights and tinsel, shop-front elves and
angel-adorned lampposts. I look forward to our annual family
photograph with Father Christmas, but not quite as much as I
delight in those edible chocolate Santas wrapped in foil.
The Kiwiana backyard soundtrack to summer is, for the most
part, a welcome reminder that sunny freedom is finally here:
sweet chirpings of both birds and bugs, sizzling of sausages
and steak on the barbie (and of skin beneath the sun), lazy
buzzing of fat blowflies ...
The post-exam, pre-leaving period provided an opportunity to
compile and complete a last-minute list of Dunedin
activities; the plan was to while away the time making the
most of improving weather and study-free days.
It was a moment we'd been dreaming about for months. The
final-minute drop of the pen, the post-essay wring of the
wrists, the sigh of exhaustion and exultation: Honours,
finally finished.
With exams just around the corner (tomorrow, in fact),
cheating is on my mind.
And just like that, October arrived. Emerging from September
and the library simultaneously, I scanned the streets for
traces of stolen time. Where did it go? Who took it?
If I was still at high school, I'd be tempted to ditch
chemistry or physics (or both, preferably), for history and
classics, or some other equally "vocationally irrelevant"
subject of literary-focused indulgence.
I'd heard it was Queen Victoria who initiated the white
wedding dress tradition.

The law is stop when the sign says stop
To The Editor: I was shocked and dismayed by a letter in today's paper. A woman admitted she breaks the law every time she drives on Main Street.
The signs say "stop" not "cruise on through." She has that old "that's the way we did it up North" attitude. You aren't there anymore lady. The law here is "stop" means "stop."

Speakers discuss air quality and pollution
To The Editor: I've read with interest these past months the pro and con letters of readers on many issues, one side refuting the "scientific" evidence of the other. How sad that we can't be more interested in the welfare of the "many," versus politics; for example, our children, grandchildren, the planet (most importantly air, water, viable soil) and the welfare of all of God's Creation!
So it was of special interest that I read an Aug. 19 letter. The writer covered several issues, but the one that stood out to me was his statement, "Statistics don't lie; air pollution destroys the quality of life of many who are sensitive to it."
Four Seasons Sierra Committee, Hendersonville, will present a program at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18 at the Henderson County Library in the Kaplan Auditorium. Three speakers from our area will talk about air quality/pollution: Avram Friedman, Asheville, with The Canary Coalition; Keith Bamberger, Asheville, N.C. Division of Air Quality and Rick Bayliss, Hendersonville, (whose educational background is in Environmental Education and air quality), McNutt Service Group. Join us. Questions and answers will follow the speakers. Should be some interesting facts forthcoming!

Wanted: Guice<0x000A>family history
To The Editor: In researching my family history, I've discovered family connections to a Phillip H. Guice and wife Margaret M. Bowman, who lived near Mills River in Henderson County, 1850s to 1860s or later.
Some of the Bowman families also lived in Dekalb, Tenn. and married persons by the last name of Wright.
Phillip H. Guice served in the Civil War and died at the age of 30.
If anyone knows about descendants/family connections to these people, I'd like to hear from you.
Some family history on the Guice family can be found in Tullahoma, Tenn., and I have many pages to share about the descendants of Peter Guice/Guyse of the 1750s, who lived in Virginia and whose ancestors arrived in America by ship very early in American history, when the 13 colonies existed.

2008 Olympics kept Americans cheering
To The Editor: Three cheers for our splendid American athletes, so strong and focused to win, and they did!
Only the Olympics could ever bring young people from all over the world to compete and participate together on a level plain, so vast for the world to see. Such an event with total cooperation and drive towards one goal of unity in sportsmanship is truly something we can all be proud of, giving hope for humankind.
I personally felt that advertising during the opening and closing ceremonies should be suspended in respect to the host country. A production that immense and exceptional should not be interrupted to the viewers with intermittent commercials. It only distracts from such a special presentation. The spectacular production of both the opening and closing ceremonies will be unrivaled for years to come.
Incredibly, Michael Phelps continued to sweep the medal count while his family watched in total amazement. This was an Olympics that kept us on the edge of our seats cheering.
With sacrifice and diligence the Chinese community hosted a memorable Olympics. All and all, Beijing 2008 was an Olympics to remember.

McCain is the clear choice for president
To The Editor: John McCain is the clear choice for president. McCain's early and consistent support for the surge, when it was unpopular to support the military decision, turned what appeared to be a defeat in Iraq to a victory. This type of leadership will be necessary as the next administration finishes the job in Afghanistan, and faces the problems presented by Korea, Iran and Russia.
The Obama/Biden ticket is extremely weak on national defense. The terrorists would laugh at an administration which indicates a desire to avoid aggression. The Democratic ticket would lead the United States to a second-rate status.
We need a strong America led by President John McCain who will work with the House and the Senate to improve our economy and solve the energy crisis.

Election 2010
Who Makes It To Alabama GOP Gov. Runoff? We Should Find Out Today
It's been nine days since Alabama Republicans voted in the gubernatorial primary, a contest where former college chancellor Bradley Byrne finished first but failed to win a majority of the vote.
But the battle for second place was inconclusive, as state Rep. Robert Bentley and businessman Tim James virtually tied (Bentley led by 205 votes out of more than 492,000 cast). In the intervening time, about 1,700 provisional ballots were counted. Republican state chair Mike Hubbard says he should have the final tallies early this afternoon, after which, writes the Birmingham News' Chuck Dean, "the third-place finisher will have to decide whether to seek a recount."
James apparently has already made that decision. On his Web site, James says that "no matter who's up or down ... after provisional ballots are counted, there will be a recount."
I'll update this post when an announcement is made.
The runoff is July 13.

Health & Pregnancy
Understanding Stillbirth -- Diagnosis and Treatment
In this article
How Do I Know if I Will Have a Stillbirth?
Stillbirths are rare -- they happen in only 1 in 200 pregnancies. But if they do happen, many stillbirths take place before labor. They often happen to women who have no specific risks, and there are usually no warning signals.
If you're at risk of a stillbirth, or if you feel a change in your baby's movements, your doctor or midwife may order tests to check that your baby is healthy. These tests may include ultrasound and a nonstress test (NST) to record the baby's heartbeat and movement.
Testing for Causes After a Stillbirth
After the delivery of a stillborn baby, your doctor may ask your permission to examine the baby's body to find out what went wrong. A specially trained doctor called a pathologist will perform an autopsy. This exam may involve special tests, including genetic testing. The results may help you find out your likelihood of a future healthy pregnancy and provide some comfort by answering questions about your baby's death.
This evaluation doesn't need to interfere with any plans you'd like to make for your baby's funeral. Testing is a personal decision to be made after discussing it with your partner, doctor, and supportive family members. You may also find it helpful to talk with a grief counselor for advice and support.
If the stillbirth is due to a genetic disorder, you may be referred to a genetic counselor for further testing. A genetic counselor can review your medical history and provide information about the risk of birth defects in future pregnancies.
What Are the Treatments for Stillbirth?
If your baby passes away before birth, there are usually several options for delivering the baby. In many cases, there is no need to do this immediately unless you have medical complications. However, your doctor will want to schedule a time in the near future for you to deliver. Most stillborn babies can be delivered vaginally after induction of labor, unless there are specific reasons for cesarean delivery.
If possible, before entering the hospital, consider whether you want special arrangements. You may want a private room or a room away from other women having babies. Think about whether you want to see your baby, give the baby a name, or have photographs taken. This has been a common practice since the 1980s in the belief that doing so helps women adjust to the loss.

Packers reach two-year contract agreement with S Martin
The Green Bay Packers moved to lock in one of their eight restricted free agents Monday, agreeing to terms on a two-year contract extension with safety Derrick Martin.
According to Martin's agent, Brad Cicala, both sides expressed an interest in getting a contract done and after about two weeks of discussions, they came up with a deal that satisfied both sides. Cicala said that Martin will receive some guaranteed money in exchange for giving up a chance to shop himself on the open market.
"We wanted a little more security going into camp and make sure he had a home," Cicala said.
Last year. Martin thought he had the Baltimore Ravens roster made, but after a solid camp he was traded to the Packers in exchange for Tony Moll on Sept. 5. He made an immediate contribution to special teams with the Packers and finished the year second on the team in tackles with 21.
Under normal circumstances, Martin, who is entering his fifth year, would have been an unrestricted free agent. But with no extension of the collective bargaining agreement in sight and the league facing an uncapped year, it is going to require six years of experience to be totally free. Barring a last-minute settlement, Martin would have been a restricted free agent.
That would have meant that any deal he signed with another club could have been matched by the Packers. There were several different levels the Packers could have tendered Martin at, but more than likely he would have been at the lowest, which would have paid him $1.176 million for 2010.
His contract extension takes into account the bump in pay he would have realized as a restricted free agent. His base salary last year was $535,000.
"Derrick wanted to stay," Cicala said. "All things being equal, with the collective bargaining agreement still in question, they gave us a pretty good offer and we were fair with them. Derrick likes to play football and for him it was one of those things where he wanted (to be settled) going into camp."
The 5-10, 198-pound Martin came into the league as a cornerback, but was switched to safety during the 2009 off-season. He played safety for the Ravens that summer and stayed there when he made the move to Green Bay, starting one game and playing a good deal as a reserve in another.
Cicala said that Martin might be better suited for a nickel corner position, but that his goal was to play a bigger role in the secondary this year wherever that might be. Martin's role could depend in part on whether the Packers re-sign two other restricted free agents, safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Will Blackmon.
Other restricted free agents are guard Daryn Colledge, safety Nick Collins, end Johnny Jolly, fullback John Kuhn and guard/center Jason Spitz.

This study has developed sampling downscaling (SmDS), in which dynamical downscaling (DDS) is executed for a few of period selected from a long-term integration by general circulation model based on an observed statistical relationship between large-scale climate and regional-scale precipitation. SmDS expectedly produces climatology and frequency distribution of precipitation over a nested region with reducing computational cost, if a global-scale climate pattern mostly controls regional-scale weather statistics. Here SmDS was attempted for wintertime precipitation over Hokkaido, Japan, because a linkage between snowfall and sea-level pressure patterns has been known by Japanese synopticians and it can be detected by singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis on wintertime inter-annual variability during the period from 1980/1981 to 2009/2010 for precipitation over Hokkaido and moisture flux convergence around there. DDS for the full period over the same domain was also performed for comparison with SmDS. SmDS selected two winters from the top and two winters from the bottom of the projection onto the first SVD mode. It was found that, comparing with the full DDS, SmDS indeed provided unbiased statistics for average but exaggerated extreme statistics such as heavy rainfall frequency. It was also shown that the sampling in the SmDS method was much more effective than the random sampling.

An aerobic organocatalytic oxidative CC bond formation reaction of benzylic CH bonds with various C-nucleophiles is described. The coupling reaction proceeds by simply stirring the substrates under elevated partial pressure of oxygen in the presence of a sulfonic acid catalyst at room temperature. Elevation of the pressure enables the reaction of a broad scope of nucleophile substrates otherwise showing poor reactivity at ambient pressure. The benzylic CH bonds of xanthene, acridanes, isochromane and related heterocycles could be functionalized with nucleophiles including ketones, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and aldehydes. Electron-rich arenes could be utilized as nucleophiles at elevated temperatures. The reactions are believed to proceed via autoxidation of the benzylic CH bonds to the hydroperoxides and subsequent nucleophilic substitution catalyzed by sulfonic acids.

Bret Harte once wrote, "Bohemia has never been located geographically," a statement that some might find odd because Harte himself had been associated with not one, but two major bohemian uprisings: one in lower Manhattan and the other in San Francisco. But as Ben Tarnoff's brilliant new history reveals, Harte was both right and wrong: Literary Bohemia is both locale-specific and inextricably connected with all the others. Thus, The Bohemians displays a rich literary movement in the act of blooming even as it shows how the four writers it features (Mark Twain, Harte, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles Warren Stoddard) changed the face of our national culture. Tarnoff's subject is fascinating, but I would be remiss if I failed to mention his nuanced, even poetic writing. More than once I paid his prose the ultimate compliment: To linger on its rich cadences and metaphors, I read entire passages aloud myself.

MacBook Pro 15-inch (early 2011) hands-onPocket-lint
Yep, that's right Apple fans, we've bagged a new MacBook Pro from Apple in order to give it a run for its money and see how fast Thunderbolt (that's the new port) really is. So while we start going about getting a review out so we can see if the system really is 2x faster that the previous models, we thought we would share with you a bevy of photos of the new machine.
The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the design of the new Apple laptop is actually identical to previous models with Apple keeping the unibody shell the same as before.
In fact, the only real difference to the outside design is the addition of the Thunderbolt logo instead of the display port, on the left hand side of the laptop.
While it might look the same from the outside, it's packed with plenty of speed enhancements, from the addition of a SDXC card reader instead of a standard SD card reader, and a new webcam that now records in 720p at 1280x720 resolution.
Other treats include faster quad-core processors (on the 15- and 17-inch models) although Apple hasn't moved away from DVD install disks like they did with the MacBook Air.
As for why there's no SSD option as standard? Apple weren't really ready to answer that one, merely suggesting that if you want SSD (up to 512GB no less) you could add that in as an option; and that if you really must have it from the start you should get its MacBook Air laptop instead.

Barrowed from the NuclearMoose (thanks, btw -- check's in the mail), I snatched this piece of CSS for my site.
/* External links */
#rightCol a[href^="http:"] {
background: url(/images/TornPaper/extlink.gif) right center no-repeat;
padding-right: 10px;
#rightCol a[href^="http://stephen.yeargin.com"] {
background: inherit;
padding-right: 0px;
[Note: #rightCol is where my posts go, instead of #container. Pretend it's universaly applied.]
Not only is it not working on my browser (Firefox), but it's also failing on the CSS validator. From what I've read so far, the selector property hasn't dried yet from it's RC state.
The readout:
Combinator *= between selectors is not allowed in this profile or version
So to get to the point of this, I've implemented the external icon link as a class (
class='extlink')before, but it put an ugly underline all the way under the icon. I want to get rid of this and stay current-standards compliant. Any thoughts?

I moved away from raw HTML/Jquery to WordPress to avoid complicated integration issues every time I changed my web-site. Now I've replaced it with post-installation configuration issues where I fix one thing and another breaks. Need some help on this.
Problem Scenarios:
1) Log into my wordpress dashboard. Go to "Visit Site" and then can't get back to Dashboard. Have to create new Dashboard sessions. Yikes!
2) Have dynamic IP address allocation from my router. When router IP address changes, my site can't display pictures. Path references old IP address.
3) www users can't see my blog - timeouts or lost formatting.
My setup:
1) Domain (bentleyridingcentre.co.uk) set to point to routers IP address. e.g. http://22.214.171.124/wordpress/
2) WordPress Address (URL) set to my web-servers IP in wp-config. i.e. define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://192.168.1.66/wordpress');
3) WordPress Site Address (URL) set to http://bentleyridingcentre.co.uk in settings/general
4) Router setup with port-forwarding on 80, 443, 3306, 3389 & 4125.
Been trying to figure this out for days. Tried configuring based on some of the forum related issues. e.g. Set both wordpress & site address to my domain but then lost localhost login to dashboard.
Can anyone help or point me to a tutorial/video that actually goes thru this step-by-step?
Thanks in anticipation.
PS: The only success I had today is when I finally lost it with my router and opened up all ports to my web-server. Everything worked except I now had a server that was vulnerable. Stepped back from there and now trying to get it working properly.

Turning despair to hope
Religious Leaders Urge Sen. Bernie Sanders to Make Hunger and Poverty a Priority
World Bank launches interfaith push to eliminate extreme poverty
World Bank Launches Interfaith Push to Eliminate Extreme Poverty
The World Bank is teaming up with global religious leaders in a 15-year effort to end extreme poverty by 2030.
About 35 religious groups worldwide, including Bread for the World, Islamic Relief International, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and Sojourners, endorsed the call to action. Supporters include Christians, Jews, Muslims, Baha'is, and others.
"Our approach to this staggering need must be holistic, rooted in the spiritual visions of our respective faiths, and built on a shared recognition of the intrinsic dignity and value of every life on Earth," the call said.
Observers say it's the first time the World Bank has tapped the reach and resources of religious groups in combating extreme poverty — partly out of a realization that the work is too big for any one institution, and also in hopes of limiting unnecessary duplication between the World Bank's ideas and those of various religious groups.
"There's a real convergence between these dual goals of the bank and many of the commitments and convictions of religious institutions and organizations," said the Rev. Adam Taylor, a Sojourners and World Vision alum who now oversees faith-based initiatives at the World Bank.
During an April 9 teleconference, Wold Bank President Jim Yong Kim said the number of people living in extreme poverty — living on less than $1.25 per day — has fallen from 2 billion in 1990 to 1 billion today. And he strongly believes that with enough support, that figure could be eliminated in another 15 years.
But Kim said that in order to reach the goal, there will be two important aspects to the fight to end poverty: gathering evidence on what works and what doesn't work in combating poverty, and enlisting the aid of religious communities.
"I believe that some of the most important leaders in the movement to end extreme poverty will be people of faith, people who are motivated fundamentally to help the most vulnerable among us," Kim said.
Explaining 'Working Poor' to my Privileged, Middle Class Children
For my privileged, perhaps overly comfortable children, something as trivial as our Internet being down constitutes a crisis. When we do our "gratitude inventory" (aka, a way to get them to reflect and pray), they rattle off things as a matter of routine that many people would only dream of.
So how do I explain something as alien and complex a state as being part of the working poor in a way they can have a at least a chance to internalize?
This was part of my goal in taking on My Jesus Project, a year-long endeavor to more deeply understand what we mean when we talk about following Jesus: to move from ignorance to empathy, which can only be achieved sometimes through direct, personal experiences.
For a month, I was assigned by one of my "Jesus Mentors" to go out of my way to walk and/or take public transportation to get places, with the intention that I would come into contact with people I might otherwise miss or overlook. As I did it, I realized my kids could benefit from it as well.
The first sign that they needed such an experience was that when I announced to them we were taking the bus and train to do our family activities one weekend, they were excited. It was a new experience for them, rather than a necessity. As for the mile-long walks to get from place to place when the transit system didn't get us exactly where we were going — they were a little less thrilled with that. And yet, we slowed down more, spent more time talking, and while on the public systems, I noticed we looked each other in the eye a lot more, rather than all facing forward (with the kinds inevitably with their faces fixed on a screen) in the car.
My son, Mattias, who is on the high end of the autism spectrum, is a keen observer, and I suppose a natural byproduct of that is that he asks questions. A lot of questions.
"Dad," he said, after jumping off the final leg of the bus route one day, "why were some of the people sleeping on the bus?"
Aunt Roma's Lessons for Eco-Living
Years ago as a child growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, I was befriended by a wonderful family around the corner from my home. The patriarch of the family, Edward Blunt Sr., was a hard-working executive for a telecommunication company; the matriarch, Roma Blunt, lovingly called Aunt Roma, was a consultant for several local educational institutions; and their son, Ed Jr., became one of my best friends and adopted brother.
Ed and I played sports, shared the same birthday, and graduated from high school and college together. Ed's family provided a unique gift for the young men in our neighborhood. As a result of their southern roots and deep-rooted village values, they believed adults — especially adults of African descent — had a responsibility to aid and assist in the development of young men in the community.
At least weekly, a gang of musty, sweaty, boisterous young men crowded into the Blunt household to take part in a ritual of culinary excellence provided by Aunt Roma. In this house we did not own, pay for, or live in, we witnessed the southern artistry and gastric creativity produced with a palette of collard greens, gumbo, cornbread, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and fish on the canvas of our senses. The white house on Green Road became our hangout, respite, and my second home. Since I lived geographically closest to the Blunts' home, I found myself at their address more frequently than other "brothers" in our network.
Upon one of my routine visits after finishing another amazing meal, Aunt Roma passed on a special gift. She handed me a key to the home. She stated with matter-of-fact ease, "Otis, you're over here enough, you might as well have a key."
After I said thank you, she began to reemphasize the rules of the house.
"You are always welcome here … you are welcome to eat, rest, and relax ... I trust you, and as long as you abide by the rules of the house and your parents are aware of where you are, this door is always open to you."
I was given access to the Blunts' home because of my relationship with their son. I was given access to a home I did not create, build, or purchase. Because of my relationship with their son, I was given access to an environment I did not create.
Environmental Justice, Inclusiveness, and Mother Earth
The prophets' preoccupation with justice and righteousness has its roots in a powerful awareness of injustice. That justice is a good thing, a fine goal, even a supreme ideal, is commonly accepted. What is lacking is a sense of the monstrosity of injustice. Moralists of all ages have been eloquent in singing the praises of virtue. The distinction of the prophets was in their remorseless unveiling of injustice and oppression, in their comprehension of social, political, and religious evils. —Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Prophets
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. —Martin Luther King, Jr.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, environmental justice is defined as:
The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
As we consider this definition, and look around our communities, do we find this fair treatment taking place? Are we aware of how economic and environmental decisions are made? Many times it can become so overwhelming that we think it best to leave it to the experts. Unfortunately, this can lead to exploitation, as discrimination typically takes place in poor and underserved communities where people may not understand their rights, or they choose not to fight back out of fear. As we dig deeper and the shackles are removed, we begin to see how economic and environmental justice are connected and how this exploitation is directly related to incentives like government funding, tax breaks, and land grabs that favor corporations over human beings and the environment. Does the end result benefit all God's creation or just a wealthy few?

Trigonotarbida Thomisus Onustus>>The trigonotarbida, also known as palaeotarbus jerami were alive around c. 419 to 290 million years ago. They used to be found around the areas of North America, Argentina and also in Europe (same with the locations of the thomisus spider). In this report I will be discussing about why this particular species had become extinct, while talking about it's habitat, 4 structural adaptations and 1 behavioral adaptation.
Habitat of Trigonotarbida:
The trigonotarbida are found in countries such as Europe and North America, from what research has shown for previous climates in both Europe and North America are both linked to the changes that are made by the Atlantic Ocean. They would have a fairly steady climate throughout the whole year because they are fairly near the equator of earth, this would effect them directly because their hunting style is mainly to hunt on ground and to wait for their prey to come along, which is very similar to the Thomisus Onustus flower spider. Their specific hunting style may also be the reason of which lead them to be extinct. For most animals they would have some sort of way to be able to protect themselves from predators, and the reason for why Trigonotarbida spiders couldn't do so it would most likely be because they nearly have no sort of protection to help them escape the run from predators.
|Distribution of Trigonotarbida spiders in areas of blue and green (Figure 1)
The trigonotarbida aren't as easily found when compared with modern day spiders, the reason for this is because there is a large amount of rocks that these spiders hide under. Therefore, they can only be spotted when the rocks and the environment around them were moved, this was a good advantage for the trionotarbida spiders because then would be able to hide under somewhere when they are being attacked.
The environment itself 400 million years ago was filled with forests and lakes that were closely packed together, which allowed the spider to travel from one plant to another, or to be able to attach it's spider webs on different plants. Hence the location that the trigonotarbida once lived in was very tropical and filled with green environments, and also having the rocks and mountains that are able to protect them for other animals that may be hunting them.
|The trigonotarbida spider (Figure 2)
Structural adaptation #1:
The body of this particular spider, has a hard and thick texture very similar to armor, which protects the spider while being attacked. Having such a body texture allows the trigonotarbida spider much more freely without being afraid about being eaten by other animals. The main advantage to this adaptation for this animal is that the environment that it's living in is very extreme, animal and flora wise. Animals that were main predators for the trigonotarbida spiders are frogs, it is also very important for them to be able to protect the abdomen with such texture because that is also where all the main organs are located at. It is very protective against flora because not all flora are safe to be around with, some may be poisonous which could've harmed the spider in various ways.
Structural adaptation #2:
The legs on this particular spider are very similar to to the salamanders, because they both are able to grow back body parts. Even though the length of the legs on the trigonotarbida aren't the same (as seen in figure 2), the good thing about this body part for them is that they can grow back even if they lose it. Without similar length legs, the spider might of have troubles with walking and traveling but whilst this is a bad thing, they wouldn't mind losing on of the uneven legs because they would always regenerate. This is an advantage towards the spider itself because only the outer shell of the body has a very protective armor, but on the other hand the legs are merely protectable. Most animals wouldn't be able to fully eat the spider because of the size of the spider (approximately as large as a hand), but on the other hand the other animals are able to move faster than the trigonotarbida spider which causes the fact that they lose their legs really often.
Structural adaptation #3:
Trigonotarbida eyes were located on the top of the head, which was in a very bad position considering the fact they mostly move forward and not up. Similar to most spiders, the trigonotarbida also had eight eyes, even though it may sound that having eight eyes their eyesight would be in a very good quality but because of the environment that the spiders were living in and also because of the locations of the eyes it caused the fact that trigonotarbida spiders had poor eyesight. Even though they have fairly poor eyesight, but because of the shape of the eyes they are able to see from above the top and across on a even surface. This meant that they couldn't be look down and forward and the same time, which would most likely mean that they are unable to notice possible meals that may pass them, which is similar with the thomisus onustus spiders side vision. Though this would be a disadvantage towards the trigonotarbida itself, it could also be an advantage because of the high levels of trees that cover the land during the time, it would be better for it to be able to see and notice what is on the top and attacking them.
Physiological adaptation #1:
It is known that spider's fangs are poisonous to it's preys and some are to human beings, for the trigonotarbida, they are poisonous only towards animals. These fangs are located on the very front of the head, which are shaped like fairly short legs, they are able to insert it into the prey because of the sharpness of the fangs and inject the poison into the animal. The poison then paralyzes the victim which then allows the spider to eat the victim slowly in it's own pace. The main advantage of this particular adaptation during it's time period was that it was able to poison animals or insects that were fairly larger than them, which made it easier for them to hunt for a meal.
Physiological adaptation #2:
The main uses of a spiders silk it to build a web to catch animals, and after catching the animal they are able to wrap the victim with the silk to completely kill it and drink all it's protein inside of that animal. The main advantage for the trigonotarbida to be able to spin webs is that they can link from tree to tree or plant to plant and be able to catch preys very easily, such as flies. This would be easily done because of the environment itself it covered with forests which is closely packed where a bird can jump from tree to tree and not needing to fly. On a large scale this kind of environment could be suitable for all sorts of animals, but particularly for animals such as a trigonotarbida which uses web spinning and pouncing on the prey as their hunting style.

Love to LearnI love to learn about learning! What can I say?

Regardless, when it comes to books about of educational psychology and success, I can't seem to get enough! I guess it's no wonder that I work as a trainer/content developer for Epicor.
ERP Selection for your Automotive BusinessI recently had a salesman from an ERP software system tell me they support the automotive industry and they had several references. To be honest, I was a little stunned when they told me this.
How ERP Can Help Fuel Your GrowthBusiness growth is a complex path that's both full of promise and fraught with challenge. Recent global research commissioned by Epicor and conducted by MORAR Consulting shows that while growth is a top objective that manufacturers expect to achieve, they're concerned about their ability to manage it.
Yes, I'm Silently Correcting Your GrammarI'll start with a confession: I stole that title from a friend's coffee mug. Regardless, for most writers this is a true statement. We have a tendency to correct people silently (sometimes out loud) because our brains are geared toward how words go together in the English language. However, even as writers we rely far too often on those handy grammar-checking tools; and they are not always right. They do not check for homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings) or for words that you mistype but are still words (man instead of mane). I am a chronic re-reader for this very reason.

In the Innovate-or-Die Business World, Your Future Depends on Engaging the Next-Gen WorkforceThere's a lot of buzz these days about innovation and with good reason -- innovation is the WOW that in comparison makes incremental growth seem a mere a whimper. Leading innovators can achieve both significant upside both financially and in competitive advantage.
How to Deliver the Best Customer Experience to Enable GrowthIn today's highly competitive global marketplace, providing a great customer experience has never been more critical—both in terms of differentiating yourself from your competition and growing your business. In fact, one of the greatest indicators of your company's future success today is your customers' satisfaction levels. If your customers are happy, this naturally bodes well for business growth; however, you then have the added challenge of keeping them happy while you're growing.
Things I Must RememberI do most of my teaching from a little office carved out of what would normally be a bay in my garage. It's a humble place: cluttered, compact, with the advantage and disadvantage that everything I need and a good deal of what I don't is within arm's reach. In the winter it is heated by computers, lights and monitors. The same is true in the summer.

She also gives frank accounts of her dealings with foreign statesmen and her own ministers.

Buy China Stocks as Tightening Is Overdone, Lou Says
China's stocks are a buying opportunity as the government is unlikely to step up measures to slow the world's third-biggest economy at a time the European crisis is deepening, according to Morgan Stanley.
The market is "pricing in a hard landing in property" and a "policy misstep" by China's government, Jerry Lou, Morgan Stanley's China strategist, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. "The whole market is a buy" as concerns are over-stated, he said.
Europe's slowdown will delay the need for the U.S. to raise interest rates, reducing risks of a "double-dip" recession, Lou said. He shares the view of investors Martin Currie Ltd.'s Chris Ruffle and Templeton Asset Management Ltd.'s Mark Mobius, who are buying more of the nation's stocks after they entered a bear market this month. Mobius yesterday called the slump in emerging-market shares a "correction" in a bull market.
China's equities are among the world's worst performers this year as the government reins in record lending to prevent a bubble in the country's real estate market while Europe, its largest trading partner, grapples with sovereign debt problems. The MSCI China Index has lost 12 percent while the Shanghai Composite Index declined 21 percent.
The government has restricted banks from extending loans for purchases of multiple homes, increased mortgage rates and raised down payment requirements. The central bank ordered lenders this month to set aside more deposits as reserves for a third time this year.
Mobius Buys
Stocks on the MSCI China, which tracks mostly Hong Kong- traded Chinese companies, trade at 14.8 times reported earnings. That compares with the peak valuation of 30 times profit in October 2007. The Shanghai Composite Index is valued at 19.5 times earnings. The measure entered a bear market on May 11 after falling 20 percent from its Nov. 23 high.
"Despite the fact that a lot of people think that we are entering into a bear market, we don't believe so," Mobius, who oversees about $34 billion in emerging markets as Templeton Asset Management's Singapore-based executive chairman, said in an interview yesterday in Cairo. "This is a correction in an ongoing bull market."
China's shipping companies will be the "most exposed" to a slowdown in Europe as the region accounts for a third of their container shipping revenue, according to Credit Suisse Group AG.
The fiscal crisis in Greece will probably make the Chinese government more concerned about local government borrowings, forcing lenders to set aside more provisions and hurting earnings, Vincent Chan and Peggy Chan, analysts at Credit Suisse, wrote in a note to clients.
Export Drop
A 20 percent drop in exports to the European Union would cut China's gross domestic product growth by 1 percentage point, according to Credit Suisse estimates.
Chinese officials have been meeting with foreign bankers in recent days to review the country's holdings of euro-zone debt in light of the region's fiscal crisis, the Financial Times said without saying where it got the information.
The country's State Administration of Foreign Exchange, which manages the reserves under China's central bank, holds about $630 billion of euro-area bonds in its reserves and has expressed concern about its exposure to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, the newspaper said. A spokesman for the agency declined to comment to the Financial Times.
Morgan Stanley on May 25 upgraded steel and building materials shares in its China portfolio to "overweight" from "underweight," a week after increasing the weighting of banks. Morgan Stanley maintained its end-2010 estimates of 81.7 for the MSCI China Index and 15,399 for the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index.

Originally from Hungary, I came to the United States thirteen years ago to study business and now I happily call California my home. I am an active and happy woman looking for someone to have fun with, enjoy life with and eventually settle down and start a family with. Friends tell me that I am sensitive, intelligent and funny which is a little hard for me to admit because I tend to be a bit modest. I do love to laugh and value family and friends above all else. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts and going to museums. I like to go to the gym and love the results that working out and eating healthy deliver. I'm most attracted to very confident, educated men who have a great sense of humor. I am honest, caring and adventurous and admire those qualities in others. It is important to me that my match be at a similar place in his life – single, no children and ready to find that person to build a family and share the future with. I'm ready to find my soul mate! If you think we might hit it off, please send me a message. I'd love to find out if we have a connection!
Alumni connections , Business networking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Aerobics, Other types of exercise, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I don't have any pets.
Middle of the Road
The Penthouse at The Huntley Hotel, Santa Barbara, San Diego
Favorite food is a creme fraiche souffle pancake with sauteed strawberries. At restaurants, I'm more interested in the environment than the food. I love science fiction movies. I listen to many music genres including rock, hip hop and classical.
I enjoy art and science museums, classic car shows, movies, working out, beaches, dining out and traveling. I love the ocean! I also like to volunteer in my free time.
The last book I read was Elon Musk, by Ashlee Vance.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. David Vitter may be called to testify in the upcoming trial of a woman accused of running a high-end Washington prostitution ring.
Defense attorneys listed the Republican senator among potential witnesses Monday as jury selection began in the case against Deborah Palfrey. Vitter has acknowledged being involved with the escort service. But after issuing brief statements apologizing for what he called "a very serious sin," he has ducked follow-up questions.
On the witness stand, the Louisiana Republican would not have that luxury.
Randall Tobias, a former senior State Department official, is also on Palfrey's witness list. Military strategist Harlan Ullman, who is known for developing the "shock and awe" warfare strategy, is on the government's witness list.

The original question on this forum was what do other people think of our town. I live in Princeton and I think Providence is fine. I have daughters who played softball for several years in both league and high school level. Every time we went to Providence the people I met were very nice and friendly. I see the town is slowly dying economically. That seems to be happening everywhere. Look at Dawson Springs. I think what happens to these small towns is their local businesses can not be supported by their own community because people will drive a few miles to save a little money at a Wal-Mart. I am glad we have a Wal-mart but it has put a hurt on several of our small businesses down town. It is a blessing and a curse at the same time. You save money but I feel guilty sometimes not supporting our locally owned businesses. I try to switch up each week by buying groceries at Food Giant and Hancock's and only buy a few grocery items at Wal-Mart when I'm there. But what has helped our down town is to have a mayor who has done every thing right to help get our down town revitalized. She did her homework and got some state funding for the projects. The money is there you just have to know where to apply and ask for it. As far as gossip goes, every small town has a problem with that. I don't listen to gossip because I know there is always two sides to every story. If everyone would try to come together as a community and help each other out when needed, God will bless this and other small towns. Keep your chin up and love one another instead of trying to tear each other down. Talk to your city officials and ask them about revitalizing your down town and also have them contact our Mayor Cherry for advice. I am glad I live in a small community and would not live in a big city. I like the fact that that any where I go I see a friendly face I know. I know the majority of the people living here because I have volunteered at school, been a little league coach, Sunday School teacher and local supporter of our youth programs. Get involved any way you can and pull this great little community together so you can be proud to call Providence your home. Good luck and God bless you all.
#89 Nov 8, 2010
OH, I Love this place. It's HOME< ya know? I always look forward yo getting back; have you ever went away and then finally get back and , well, it's HOME. There's something about it.
#90 Nov 8, 2010
We don't need a WAL-MART here; because it would be a huge fight,betcha. What we need is a liquor store>not a private club, but a liquor store and a new factory......lol.....brewery? That's fuuuunnnnyyy!!!!!#1.
Since: Aug 10
#91 Dec 14, 2010
I have lived in Providence all my life. I left for college and chose to come back and raise my family here because I love this town and the people who live here. What I will never understand is why people who hate it here continue to stay. Surely public housing isn't that much of a draw? Other towns have projects that I am sure they would be much happier in, since apparently Providence is so bad. So I say, if you live here and don't pay property taxes, then you don't really get to complain. Just move and leave the town to those of us who are paying to keep it running and paying to educate the children of the county. And I am very happy with my life here, with my family, friends, and job.
#92 Dec 18, 2010
A lot of fat lazy asz disabled, queers, lezbo's, mostly bi's there. Not to mention all the drugs and blacks seeking whites and vica-versa. A town that should not be allowed to exist. I know there are some good folks there but talk about inbread rednecks, I would be ashamed to live there...embarrassed to be seen there when I am forced to go in that direction.
#93 Dec 18, 2010
I am familiar with Providence I am sorry to say but I agree with the previous post. A bunch of redneck inbread's. Good people there yes. Why they remain there I don't know.

Journalist spotlight: Alison Frankel on recent special report
Last week, a Reuters Special Report by Alison Frankel and Jessica Dye revealed how medical-device litigation in the U.S. has lent momentum to a little-known industry: companies that profit from surgeries on poor plaintiffs. After examining cases involving transvaginal mesh, the subject of the biggest onslaught of personal-injury litigation since asbestos, Reuters revealed that some surgical-funding outfits facilitate victims' surgery by purchasing their medical bills at a deep discount from the surgeon and placing a lien for the full amount against the plaintiffs' settlements. The liens sometimes spiral to as much as 10 times what private insurers or government programs would pay for the same procedures. In a Reuters Best: Journalist Spotlight Q&A, Alison offers a look at the reporting behind the story.
Q. How did you and Jessica get started on the story?
A. In January, Johnson & Johnson filed a brief claiming that women were being improperly solicited by offshore call centers to join the massive litigation over pelvic mesh. According to J&J, these call centers seemed to have access to some women's medical records. Others were supposedly telling women that if they lied about their medical history, they could get a $40,000 settlement. Jessica and I both follow products liability litigation closely and neither of us had ever seen allegations like this. We decided to work together to find out everything we could about the litigation over pelvic mesh.
Q. What types of reporting/sourcing were involved? (more…)
