Thanks, Fed! Emerging markets rallied today.
Emerging markets are rushing to sell sovereign dollar bonds to take advantage of the still very low yields: Colombia is looking to sell a benchmark 10-year bond. Armenia is exploring a seven-year sale. Wall Street Journal reports:
It has been a bumpy ride. In the early part of the year, record low funding costs spurred by cheap money from the Fed had fueled a surge of issuance from emerging-market government borrowers—$45 billion in international bond sales through the end of May.
When the Fed signaled it might taper off its $85-billion-a-month bond-buying program, borrowing costs shot up and issuance tailed off. Just under $10 billion was raised between June and the end of August.
It seems panic no longer rules emerging markets, and the Fed's decision yesterday can only provide some more assurance. Are we starting to look more closely at fundamentals? Riedel Research thinks so:
Last month just 24% of countries had sentiment readings indicating panic. This is down from 60% of countries being at "panic" in August last year and indicates that we are at or near a full recovery in sentiment.
As panic is no longer a dominant driver of global equity markets we are highlighting the emergence of a "stock pickers" market. Stocks can be expected to move according to individual company events. The system can be expected to begin to operate as it was meant to.
Brazil's plan to boost the economy by privatizing and building infrastructure is hitting road blocs: some stretch of an important highway that badly needed repair did not receive any bidders today.
Energy-thirsty China and India have been jostling for offshore oil assets for years. India's Oil and Natural Gas Corp. (IN:500312) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) exercised their preemption rights to prevent the third stakeholder Petrobras (PBR) from divesting its shares in an offshore Brazilian oil field to China's Sinochem, in an estimated deal of $1.5 billion.

- Schumann, Davidsbündlertänze, Faschingsschwank aus Wien, Novellette in F sharp minor
Robert Schumann (1810-1856) possessed unusual talents, both musical and literary. As he struggled to express himself with matters such as his love for Clara Wieck or pursuit of artistic excellence, Schumann experienced creative bouts that drew upon one or the other gift, or both, depending on his physical and emotional state. The two gifts maintain an extraordinary relationship, inspiring and informing each other. As blessed recipients of Schumann's creative output, we are privy to the special images, experiences and literary thoughts that animated his music. Davidsbündlertänze, Opus 6 Schumann's ability to target and refine musical character was fueled by boundless imagination. He composed the Davidsbündlertänze, Opus 6 (Dances of the Tribe of David) in the spring of 1837, a complicated time in his romance with Clara. Considered autobiographical in their depiction of Roberts consuming love for Clara and his thoughts of a wedding, the dances display Schumann's reliance on two of his several imaginary companions or muses, Florestan (the extrovert) and Eusebius (the introvert). Eighteen sketches reveal Schumanns complex emotional state: joy as he awaits a reunion with Clara following a prolonged separation and anxiety concerning her fathers resistance to their nuptial union. A motto beneath the title of the original edition discloses the conflicting feelings he experienced: At all times pleasure and grief go together. Keep faith in pleasure, and meet grief with courage. Schumanns idealized pursuit of artistic truth serves an equally important role in the creation of the Davidsbündlertnze. Schumann was a founding member of the Davidsbund, a fraternity of imaginary and real musical progressives that fought against uncultured reactionaries, like David combating the Philistines (hence the title of the work at hand). These miniature canvasses exercise their potency by drawing the interpreter into a private world filled with details that are both fragile and bold. Snappy rhythms, wisps of fragrant air, remote, yet undeniable pangs of sorrow or anxiety, absolutely unburdened joy, even bursts of laughter emerge colorfully. The challenge in performing Schumanns works rests in creating vivid distinctions between these moods and yet maintaining a connection between the multiple facets of his psyche. Faschingsschwank aus Wien, Opus 26 In 1834, Schumann and a number of colleagues formed the Neue Leipziger Zeitschrift für Musik (New Leipzig Journal for Music), which published essays, musical compositions, letters, reviews, and other artistic items intended to further the best in art. During and after a business trip to Vienna for the New Journal, Schumann composed his Carnival Prank, Faschingsschwank aus Wien, Opus 26 (1839). He created the work at Clara's request for performances in Paris. She wrote: Won't you for once compose something brilliant and easy to understand, something that is a complete and coherent piece without special titles, not too long and not too short? He obliged by creating a five movement work that combines pranks with all the standard Schumann features: references to Clara's own music in the Romanze, rollicking humor in the Scherzino, anxiety in the Intermezzo and energetic vigor in the extended sonata-form Finale. Of special note is the prank in the opening Allegro movement, a statement of La Marseillaise, that serves as a greeting to Clara and her French audiences, and as an act of ridicule towards the Viennese government of Metternich which censored the French national anthem due to political tensions. Novellette in F-sharp minor, Opus 21, No.8 Schumann also composed the Novelletten, Opus 21 (1838) for Clara. Implicitly, the title may refer to novelettes or little novelties, but explicitly, the title is a tribute to Clara, who shared her first name with the English soprano, Clara Novello. Typical of Schumann's playfulness, he explained that his Clara's last name, Wieck, would not make a pleasant sounding title as Wiecketten. The Novelletten are seamless tales that, in Schumanns, words portray funny things, Egmont stories, family scenes with fathers, a wedding, in short everything worthy of love. The eighth Novellette, in F-sharp minor, is the most extensive of the set. A variety of sentiments and images appear storm, passion, light-hearted humor, quiet longing, and a voice from the distance all presented in Schumann's inimitable way. Love, inspiration, and a child-like fancy are imbued in every note as literary and musical thoughts joined in harmonious matrimony. Mia Chung

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/m...,6598650.storyThat leaves Langford, which BloggingtheBeast.com says could be worth a fourth-round pick in the 2013 draft.
Whether it is a fourth rounder or a fifth rounder, it appears the Dolphins will be adding another early draft pick to its bounty in the coming weeks, and should begin the 2013 draft with 10 selections.
And if losing Langford, who started 16 games and contributed 27 tackles and two sacks last season, was worth a fourth-round compensatory pick (which can't be traded) it is possible the Dolphins could have two selections in the second, third, and fourth round of the 2013 draft.
Compensatory picks are usually announced at the NFL owner's meetings, which take place in Arizona on March 17-20.

Toggle: English / Spanish
The internal female reproductive organs include the uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina. These organs are necessary to produce a successful pregnancy. To prevent pregnancy, birth control pills affect how these organs normally function.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Lutenizing Hormone (LH) stimulate the ovary into producing a ripe egg ready for fertilization by sperm during a normal ovulation cycle.
During a normal menstrual cycle, hormones stimulate the ovary causing an egg to ripen. The uterine lining thickens preparing itself for implantation of a fertilized egg and the cervical mucus thins to help sperm reach the egg.
The estrogen in the body causes the pituitary gland to release LH stimulating the ovary to produce a ripe egg.
The lower levels of estrogen in birth control pills suppress FSH and LH, "fooling" the pituitary gland into thinking a woman is pregnant. Ovulation will then not occur, which prevents pregnancy.
The progesterone in birth control pills creates a thick cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. It also impedes an egg from attaching itself to the uterine lining (endometrium) because of changes in the cellular structure of the lining.

|Amanda Seyfried
I have already moved on from the phase in my life when I thought Amanda Seyfried's role in Mean Girls pretty much sums up her entire true self. In short, I thought she was the typical dumb blonde with dead eyes. But since her role in Mama Mia alongside Meryl Streep, Amanda has gracefully turned into this hot piece of movie goddess. And with her cleavage pics taken at the red carpet of Dear John movie premiere, where she is the lead star, she has erased every bad memory I had of her. Yes, those memories where she was with Lindsay Lohan. Everything with Lindsay just sucks.

But do you know which one you are and, if so, does being one of the types help you further your career in the organisation?
The Tech Guru: We know them; they are the first person we call when the system or gadgets play up. They fix the issue and tend to throw in some other worldly advice free.
Promotion rating: 8/10
The Smiling Red Bull: Over-the-top team player intent on giving everyone a hand with their chores and tasks. More energy than a Duracell bunny on Red Bull.
Promotion rating: 9/10
Party Guy: The life and soul of all office functions, who has a catalogue of stories to beat all stories. Often seen with a hangover on a Friday, or chatting to the women in the canteen.
Promotion rating: 6/10, (possibility of 8/10 if they over-deliver in their job).
The Poison: Hates their job, the company and all days in the week ending in 'y'. Revels in meetings where they can air their stifled opinion. Even finds fault with Richie McCaw's game. Promotion rating: 2/10
Office Mum: The go-to at work who has the answers to all domestic issues. Be it relationship issues, cooking queries, good parenting tips, or finance questions, she'll have the answer. Most notably, she'll probably be the most politically savvy person in the office so be on her team.
Promotion rating: 9/10
The Chancer: Somehow, this spoofer has managed to work their way up through the ranks and sitting pretty in a mysterious role that is mythical in its existence. No one knows what they actually do, but everyone loves them, admires them, and believes that their input is the reason the organisation is so successful.
Promotion rating: 10/10
The Meeting King: On a perpetual journey of meetings with every division of the organisation. Has a meeting about a meeting that is co-ordinating a programme for meetings. Furiously scribbles notes that never see the light of day following the meeting.
Promotion rating: 5/10.
Recognise any of them? Recognise yourself even? If so, and you might question the promotion rating, fear not. If you can do your job and a little more you're on the right track.

Until his recent performance at the Senate, where he voiced Obama's newest money grab that was rewarded with a hugh amount of laughter by even some Dems, we had no clue as to Geitners comedic talents. But we should have, especially after his most recent visit to China, where he had them guffawing at his attempts to reassure the Chinese their loans to the US government were secure.
Geithner Furthers His Comedy Career

Just a reminder, this is not the first time that Turbo Tax Timmy has provoked gales of laughter
China is the biggest foreign owner of U.S. Treasury bonds. U.S. data shows that it held $768 billion in Treasuries as of March, but some analysts believe Chinas total U.S. dollar-denominated investments could be twice as high.
Chinese assets are very safe, Geithner said in response to a question after a speech at Peking University, where he studied Chinese as a student in the 1980s.Geithner, let me reiterate, is worthy of your contempt. He is both irresponsibly batty and tyrannically arrogant having the proper relationship between citizens and the government completely backward in his mind.
His answer drew loud laughter from his student audience, reflecting scepticism in China about the wisdom of a developing country accumulating a vast stockpile of foreign reserves instead of spending the money to raise living standards at home.
He thinks you work for the government, not the other way around.
Do we have to get Clint Eastwood to explain it to him?

Korg Radias
The Korg Radias is a Virtual Analog synthesizer that was released by Korg in 2006. It takes advantage of the MMT (Multiple Modeling Technology) that their flagship OASYS synthesizer module employs. The synthesizer itself is similar in design to the MS2000, but offers many more capabilities. It is capable of emulating older digital synthesizers and classic analog synthesizers like the MS-series without any noise or aliasing. The Radias also allows for various external sounds to be fed through its filters and envelopes. It also has the Korg DWGS (Digital Waveform Generator System) that the Korg DW-8000 employs.
The Radias also takes advantage of the KKS (Korg Komponent System) which allows it to be used with the 49-key keyboard or used as a standalone rack module, and the Radias-R unit can be connected to the M3 Music Workstation/Sampler along with its various keyboard models.
The Radias has two oscillators per timbre and a noise generator. Oscillator #1 has nine basic waveforms, with four types of modulation and PCM (64 synth sounds, 128 drum sounds) and Oscillator #2 has four basic waveforms with two types of modulation. The Radias has the ability to stack up to five types of waveforms in Oscillator #1, while using only one voice of polyphony. In Unison mode, you can stack five additional waveforms, while using more polyphony. With this function, you can create some awesome super waveforms-the overall result can contain up to 25 detuned waveforms. The Radias also has two Low-frequency Oscillators (LFO) that add more modulation to the two audio oscillators. These LFO's provide six waveforms and their speeds can be set manually or by tempo.
The Radias itself has four timbres per program. With a timbre, you can assign one drum program, another can have a lead, a bass, and a vocoder as well; all in one program! Each timbre can contain one synthesizer/drum kit, equalizer, and two multi-effects.
The Radias has two filters that can be used side-by-side, individually, or in a series. They offer Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Combination modes. Each filter offers 24 or 12 dB modes for the low pass filter. The effects on this unit are remarkable as well. The Radias comes loaded with 33 different effects: Delays, Chorus, Flangers, Compressors, talking modulator, and even the good old Polysix Ensemble effect. You can assign one master effect to the program, while each timbre gets its own two effects, creating a whole world of possibilities. The Radias also offers a 16-band vocoder with a nice Formant Motion recording function that allows you to record up to 7.5 seconds of external audio which can then be triggered via the keyboard.
The Radias has a built in arpeggiator as well, providing six different patterns to choose from. Patterns can be up to 32 steps long and the gate/velocity can be set for each step to get that sound you want! It also has two 32-step sequencers (they can be combined for a 64-step on a single timbre). They can easily be assigned to a drum kit, for example, to use the Radias as a programmable drum machine. The step sequencer supports 8-voice polyphony per step.
Overall, this synthesizer is a nice addition to anybody's set-up. It's a good virtual analog that is also quite good for the beginner to learn subtractive synthesis on. Korg also has excellent customer service, and the owner's manual for the Radias is very comprehensive and clearly explains its many functions. The Radias also has a software-based sound editor that is compatible with the newest versions of Windows and OSX. It has been used by Jordan Ruddess and Tangerine Dream.

A fast moving average would be something like this:mav = (1-alpha)*mav + alpha * new_data;where 0<alpha<1 as a weight for new observations. The smaller alpha is, the longer memory mav has of historical data.If you pick alpha to be 1/2^n, the math gets considerably easier as you can simply shift. For example, for alpha = 1/16:mav = mav + (new_data - mav) / 16.essentially, 1 subtraction, 1 shift, 1 increment.
P.S. Question for the C++ wiz. Would:mav += ((new_data - mav) / 16) ; work? faster?
QuoteP.S. Question for the C++ wiz. Would:mav += ((new_data - mav) / 16) ; work? faster? You can easily test if this works (depending on the datatypes you can have certain side effects !)faster? think yes you need to measure 10000 times or so to see diffs.
So would this in effect be acting as a low pass filter on the signal? If so how is the 16 related to the 'corner frequency of the effective filtering action, or is that more a function of how often the statement is executed per time unit?
mav += ((new_data - mav) / 16) ;
mav += ((signed short) (new_data - mav)) >> 4;
new_data=analogRead(MY_CHANNEL) << 4; //read the data mav += ((signed short) (new_data - mav)) >> 4; //compute moving average
mav = mav + (new_data - mav) / 16 ;
There are two issues: signed vs. unsigned, and integer math.Which one are you referring to?

Fraud Awareness
NEVER share your personal or financial information with people you don't know. Make sure to follow these guidelines at all times when meeting new people online.
- • DON'T ever send money to someone you meet online, especially by wire transfer. Keep in mind that wiring money is like sending cash: the sender has no protections against loss. Scammers often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it's nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don't wire money to strangers or to someone who claims to be in an emergency (and wants to keep the request a secret).
- • DON'T give out your credit card number or bank info.
- • DON'T share your personal info, such as SSN, address, phone, etc.
There are certain red flags to watch for that may indicate you're dealing with a scammer: Be aware of anyone who
- - Quickly asks to talk or chat on an outside email or messaging service
- - Vanishes mysteriously from the site, then reappears under a different name
- - Talks about destiny or fate
- - Claims to be recently widowed
- - Asks for your address under the guise of sending flowers or gifts
- - Makes an inordinate amount of grammar and/or spelling errors
- - Claims to be from U.S. but currently traveling, living or working abroad
- - Asks you for money

First meetings are exciting, however, always take precautions and use the following guidelines.
- Always meet in public.
- Meet for the first time in a populated, public location – never in a private or remote location.
- Tell a friend.
- Inform a friend or family member of your plans and when and where you're going. If you own a mobile phone, make sure you have it with you.
- Stay sober.
- Do not do anything that would impair your judgment and cause you to make a decision you could regret.
- Drive yourself to and from the first meeting.
- Just in case things don't work out, you need to be in control of your own ride – even if you take a taxi.
- Don't leave personal items unattended.
- You don't want to risk having personal information stolen. If you're drinking, keep your drink with you at all times to it can't be tampered with.
- Stay in a public place.
- It is best not to go back to your date's home or bring them back to yours on the first date. If your date pressures you, end the date and leave at once.
Long Distance Meetings
Long distance meetings pose special safety concerns to take into account. Keep these tips in mind.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Mama was right on target with this bit of advice. Remember that, when it comes to your personal safety, it's not only OK to snoop, it's your duty. Here are a few additional guidelines:
- Stay in a hotel.
- If you can't afford a hotel, don't go. DO NOT stay in the other person's home.
- Use a taxi or rental car to get to and from the airport.
- Even if the person you're meeting volunteers to pick you up from the airport, do not get into a personal vehicle with someone you've never met.

Civil Litigation and Advocacy Concentration
In 2010, Loyola Law School launched its first Concentration, a program designed to give the next generation of Loyola students the practical skills demanded by the market, while fostering Loyola's mission of upholding the highest standards of ethics, promoting the fair administration of justice, and facilitating our commitment to serving the community. While Loyola's renowned advocacy teams, experienced doctrinal and skills faculty, and extensive advocacy-related course offerings already set it apart in lawyering skills training, the Civil Litigation and Advocacy Concentration Program is a new academic component of Loyola's Advocacy Institute, which will provide a comprehensive and unique academic experience.
Students who complete the program will have a matchless opportunity for exposure to and concentrated study in the law and skills necessary to train as an advocate in a civil litigation setting. An important component of the Concentration Program is the Civil Litigation Practice, a two-semester course allowing students to participate in the planning and execution of each major phase of pre-trial litigation through a simulated client representation. Further, all students will participate in an externship, clinic, or experiential course allowing them to apply those skills to real-life disputes.
Program Benefits:
- Individual student/faculty course counseling
- Extensive lawyering skills course offerings
- Opportunity to "litigate" a simulated civil dispute
- Opportunity to draft litigation documents under faculty supervision
- Priority registration for Civil Litigation and Advocacy Concentration events
- Designation on transcript upon successful completion
- Opportunity for honors recognition upon graduation

New Bill Allows California College Students to Download Core Textbooks for Free

Thanks to two new bills, there is financial relief at last
Whether you're racking up tuition fees now or still paying student loans after graduation, you know one thing is for sure: College is expensive. To make matters worse, the spending doesn't end at a semester of classes -- there's books that need to be purchased as well, and they're worth more than a little bit of pocket change.
But if you're going to school in California, a bit of relief has finally come your way in the form of two bills: SB 1052 and SB 1053.
Both bills, which were crafted by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), will allow California college students to download up to 50 core textbooks for free in
the form of e-books
. The e-books are for lower-division courses and are for classes at the University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges.
More specifically, SB 1052 allows for the development of the e-books and the creation of the California Open Education Resources Council for e-book approvals. SB 1053 has developed the California Digital Open Source Library to store the new e-books.
"Many students are paying more than $1,000 every year on their textbooks, sometimes having to choose between buying the books they need or paying for food and other living expenses," said Steinberg.
The new e-book bills were signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday. They are expected to go into effect starting in the 2013-14 school year.
Digital textbooks are certainly becoming the new way of learning in institutions around the globe. This new form of educational offerings was further boosted by Apple earlier this year, who released
iBooks 2 and iBooks Author
that allow for the creation of digital textbooks and makes them available for purchase on the iPad.
"So far we have not seen a single Android device that does not infringe on our patents." -- Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith

Connor: Time for action on achievement gap
This month I attended Madison Magazine's Best of Madison Business Awards luncheon, an annual event that honors local movers and shakers who've displayed leadership and innovation and worked hard to help make the community a better place to live and work.
Along with the awards there is a panel discussion with the honorees about their careers and about what's happening in greater Madison. While it's always great to hear stories of successful people and celebrate their work and efforts, I often find myself waiting for something to be said that really grabs people's attention at gatherings like these. Something that resonates long after the event is over.
I think I heard it this month.
For the first time at a business-related event, I heard local leaders on stage talk about the academic achievement gap in Madison. It was not just a sentence or a couple of comments before moving on to the next topic, but a real, lengthy discussion about what I believe is the biggest issue in our community today.
That's significant.
Don't get me wrong; the achievement gap, in which African-American and Latino students are graduating in significantly fewer numbers than their white counterparts, is what a lot of folks are talking about. But up until now we've heard mostly from educators, non-profits, community activists and civil rights organizations.
While various business leaders have rolled up their sleeves and become involved in solutions, this was the first time I had ever heard the issue discussed openly and at length by a panel of business leaders in a room full of CEOs, vice presidents and other prominent business men and women. We should all be happy about that, because it sends a powerful message that Madison's business community understands how important this issue truly is. They know that the future of Madison is at stake, and that it's time for action.
With all of the discussions about who's idea is right and which achievement gap strategy is the best one, we consistently overlook the very people that this issue affects the most: the students themselves. They are our future CEOs, VPs, business owners and business men and women. They are the ones that we need to serve. And when a significant part of our population is not being served, it affects all of us.
In other words, if kids aren't graduating high school and moving on to higher education or learning a skill or trade, our families, schools and neighborhoods suffer. This also means our businesses suffer if we don't have young people that are prepared and ready to fill good-paying jobs that can help them buy a home, raise a family and build wealth. The business leaders on the panel made those points loud and clear.
Understand that my criticism is not because I dislike Madison. It's quite the opposite; I love this community. It is a great place that has been very good to me in the more than 20 years that I have lived here. I've seen what we can do when people work together for a common goal. I've seen the innovation. And I have seen the business community grow and thrive here as well.
We're not perfect—no community is. But we have the talent and know-how to effectively address the achievement gap. It means that all of us: students, parents, schools, non-profits, civic and business leaders need to get serious and focused. We need more discussions like I heard last week. But we have to put those words into action. NOW.
We can do this, Madison.

Noted evolutionary biologist to speak, Oct. 8
Posted October 5, 2001; 12:18 a.m.
Ehrlich, who has been an influential force in the fields of evolutionary biology and environmental policy for many years, will deliver the inaugural lecture in this year's Public Lectures Series on Monday, Oct. 8.
Ehrlich, the Bing Professor of Population Studies at Stanford University, will speak on "Human Natures: Genes, Cultures and the Human Prospect" at 8 p.m. in McCosh 10. The talk, which is designated the J. Edward Farnum Lecture, is free and open to the public.
The lecture will focus on "human cultural and genetic evolution, with special emphasis on the myth that most of our interesting behavior is genetically programmed." He also will address the origins of ethics and the need for more highly developed environmental ethics.
Ehrlich's work in evolutionary biology has been centered on understanding the structure, dynamics and genetics of butterfly populations. The author of the "The Population Bomb," he also has been a strong advocate of protecting against overpopulation and natural resource degradation. His lecture shares its title with his most recent book, published in 2000.
Ehrlich is a recipient of the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a MacArthur Prize and the Volvo Environmental Prize, among many other honors.
The lecture will be Webcast, which can be viewed by clicking here .

CAR: The simplistic notion of a 'religious conflict'
The town of Bambari in the Central African Republic's Ouaka Province, has been spared the spiral of violence that has left countless communities torn apart across the country. It serves as a reminder that the crisis in CAR cannot be easily defined as a 'religious conflict'.
Bambari's Muslim, Catholic and Protestant leaders regularly organize gatherings – bringing together the different groups in an effort to maintain and strengthen the town's cohesion. Gael Koumsoupon, a young Christian truck driver is an eager attendee.
He says he does not mind when these meetings are held at the local Mosque. Like other members of his community, he has always lived in peaceful, understated coexistence with his Muslim neighbours.
"Everybody in town supports peace initiatives," he says, matter-of-factly. "If civilians are threatened in other parts of the country, they can seek refuge here, whatever their religious beliefs."
Singa Edith, a mother of three agrees. "In Bambari things are different and I regret what is happening elsewhere. Muslim people should not have to leave the country."
As important as water or food
Maintaining this dialogue and trust between Bambari's communities is one of the priorities of the humanitarian groups in the town.
"The humanitarian community in the region is doing its utmost to preserve this cohesion," says Narcisco Rosa-Berlanga, the Head of OCHA's sub-office in Bambari. "It is as important as providing water or food."
The groups are in constant contact with the town's religious leaders, a dialogue that includes ongoing discussions about the possibility of relocating at-risk Muslim communities from other parts of CAR to Bambari.
"We feel safe here"
Bambari is not an exception. Over the past several weeks, more than 600 Muslim Fulani, fleeing attacks by armed militias, have taken refuge in the village of Tatale, in Ouham-Pende Province in the country's north-west. The Christian population there is determined to protect them.
"We feel safe here," says the Imam, who is still visibly shaken and exhausted. "The population of the village and surrounding areas have even collected food for us."
A young woman cradling a baby in her arms explains that her community has nowhere to go and will stay in Tatale. "Christian women are helping us here. We go to the market and fetch water at the well together."
Shared history, poverty and fear
Some Fulani children are now attending the school in Tatale, even though many of them lost their school books when they fled their homes.
Despite the strong sense of cohesion, life is difficult in Bambari and Tatale. Potable water is scarce, and food is running low as farmers have been too afraid to attend their fields. Livestock has been stolen and health centres looted and ransacked by armed groups. All live in fear of future attacks by ex-Seleka and Anti-Balaka militias, a shared experience that further strengthens the bonds between the communities.
Humanitarian actors have managed to expand their presence in Bambari but have remained cut off from Tatale after the bridge leading to the village collapsed.
"It is too easy and far too simplistic to call the crisis in the country a religious conflict," says Barbara Shenstone, OCHA Head of Office in CAR.
"However, there is no doubt that across the country, the targeting of communities based on their religious beliefs has eroded the social fabric. It will take a long time for the country to heal from these wounds."

Painting at Elmbrook Memorial has special meaning for artist
Weichelt works on piece while fighting breast cancer
As an artist, Jen Weichelt gets to share her talents with others quite often.
She's done hundreds of pieces and projects, and each has its own meaning. But none, she said, has more meaning than the painting hanging at the Wheaton Franciscan-Elmbrook Memorial Cancer Center.
It's the place where Weichelt had some of her darkest days.
But it's also where she has had some of her biggest triumphs.
The Brookfield resident, who is a co-owner of Trillium Crafted Surfaces - a full-service painting company that specializes in custom artwork, decorative painting, murals, interior design and color consulting - was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in December, 2011.
Weichelt was stunned. At 41, and with no family history of breast cancer, she couldn't believe the news. The timing, though, was not all that bad, Weichelt said.
"In a lot of ways it was a blessing, being surrounded by family," Weichelt said. "It was the most meaningful Christmas I ever had. It's the most life-altering thing I've been through."
She had a mastectomy in January to remove her left breast. She then underwent chemotherapy and radiation. At times, she said, she felt like she was losing her femininity.
Following through
Through it all, she kept painting.
Two months before her diagnosis, Weichelt had made a commitment to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse in Milwaukee to paint a piece for their exhibition.
At the time, she had no idea how personal that painting would become.
For the piece, she talked with individuals who are breast cancer survivors and they provided her with a statement about breast cancer's impact. She documented those sayings in the painting.
After the show was over, she wanted to use it as an inspirational piece for others at the Cancer Center.
"I just felt like this can encourage others," Weichelt said. "My spiritual life has changed so much. I've always been a believer, but through this, I've really grown in my faith. I felt God was guiding me. So I just felt that is where it should be."
Prognosis is good
Weichelt has finished chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and she's been told there is a less than 10 percent chance the cancer will return.
She has since become an advocate for breast cancer awareness and early detection, and hopes her painting helps others overcome the struggles of fighting the disease.
"Here I am going through chemo and being bald and working on this piece. It was a struggle, but a good struggle," she said.

Raymond J. Stumpf
Longtime Middleton/Cross Plains native Ray Stumpf died Tuesday at University Hospital, Madison, after a protracted battle with kidney disease. He was 74.
Born January 13, 1939, to August and Stella (Ripp) Stumpf of Cross Plains. Ray was a longtime employee of Madison PepsiCola. After graduating from Middleton High School in 1957, Ray served for three years in the United States Army with the third Infantry Division deployed to Wurzburg, Germany.
Ray was a longtime employee of Madison PepsiCola. He was hired in 1960 by Fauerbach Brewing Company, then the holder of the Pepsi franchise in Madison. He retired in 2001. During his years with Pepsi, Ray was on the board of directors of both the Grocers' Manufacturers Representatives (GMR) and Mid-State Food Dealers' Association.
In the early '80's Ray teamed with long-time Madison area grocer Tom Metcalfe to create the first BratFest which consisted of Stumpf and Metcalfe manning two Weber grills on the sidewalk in front of Metcalfe's Sentry store at Hilldale Mall. The two men had brought their grills from home as well as a motley assortment of their own plastic patio furniture, scattered on the walkway, to create what would become a Madison tradition.
Following retirement he has been Dealer Trade Coordinator for Zimbrick of Madison for the past eight years.
An avid golfer and UW sports fan, Ray was a long-time UW football and basketball season ticket holder and Green Bay Packer fan. He also reveled in the creation and maintenance of his backyard koi pond,and beautiful flowers and plantings, which has been his creative passion since retirement.
Ray is immediately survived by his wife of 47 years, Betty (Forsmo) Stumpf and two children, Brian Stumpf and Shari (Tim)Taylor, both of Cross Plains. He was preceded in death by his parents, Stella and August Stumpf of Cross Plains and a brother, Richard, of Madison. Ray is also survived by his daughter-in-law Sue Brumm as well as
grandchildren Josh and Jake Stumpf of Middleton and Lydia Taylor of Cross
Funeral services will be held at ST. LUKE'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 7337 Hubbard Ave., Middleton at 3:00 PM on Sunday, April 21, 2013, with the Reverend Roger Eigenfeld presiding. Visitation will be on Sunday from 1:00 PM until the time of the service at the church.
The family wishes to thank the many doctors, nurses, and staff of the UW Hospital and Clinics who have supported Ray through his lengthy struggle and a special Thank you to Don and Carolyn Denson for all the help and support throughout the years.
Visitation will be on Sunday from 1:00 PM until the time of the service at the church.
Funeral services will be held at ST. LUKE'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, 7337 Hubbard Ave., Middleton at 3:00 PM on Sunday, April 21, 2013, with the Reverend Roger Eigenfeld presiding.

Thread: Flourish Fertilizer questions
Flourish Fertilizer questions
This was already posted in another thread...I had hijacked it accidentally. I am not sure if this is against the rules, but I am moving it to its own thread and running it so people may see it. I am starting to use fertilizer...on hand I have flourish, flourish excel, and flourish iron. Seachem has this dosing chart at http://www.seachem.com/support/PlantDoseChart.pdf . I wouldn't think I'd have to use everything it calls to use, but can I get some pointers from you guys? They say to fert. everyday?! That seems a bit much...is this what you do? My plants are small and seem to be growing at a somewhat slow rate. I dosed Thursday with 1/2 cap of flourish and 1/2 cap of flourish iron.
Plants: 3 different types of Anubias, banana plants, Marble Queen Radican Sword, Ozelot Sword, Amazon Sword, Red Wendtii, onion plants
I see some definite growth on my larger red wendtii since fertilizing Thursday. I fertilized again today after 50% w/c and vac. 1/2 cap flourish, 1/2 cap flourish iron and 1.5 caps of Flourish Excel (initial dose.) What are your thoughts? I don't want to overdose, but looking at the Seachem chart which calls for daily doses of different fertilizers...don't see how I could overdose by only fertilizing a couple times a week.
7.0 ph, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 10 nitrates
26 gal. bow w/ temps 80-82
aquarium gravel/sand sub
I am running 2 filters; stock Aqueon and Aqua Clear 50 and several airstones.
How often do you dose? Do you dose with several at one time...ex: This is Seachem's schedule DAY one:
Flourish 1 cap per 60 US gallons (240 L)
Flourish Excel 1 cap (5 mL) per 10 US gallons (40 L)
Flourish Iron 1 cap (5 mL) per 50 US gallons (200 L)
Flourish Phosphorus 1/2 cap per 40 US gallons (160L)
Flourish Nitrogen 1/2 cap per 40 US gallons (160 L)
Each day there are 3-5 different fertilizers including, Flourish brands: Potassium, Nitrogen, Trace, Phosphorus, and (Prime at the end of the week.) Now I hadn't planned to buy their whole line, but do I need to throw this much stuff in my tank everyday for my plants to be as happy as my fish? Do you fertilize daily?
The short answer is no.
Well, What are you lacking? You only have to add what they need as opposed to what is available for sale.
There's no need to dose IE: [Insert additive here] if your plants are not missing it in their environment. Admittedly, You won't know what they are missing until they grow on a while and show you. This comes with the territory I am afraid.
I notice you did not mention your lighting, Additional ferts will provide you with a lovely lush world class algae farm if you do not have adequate lighting for the plants to out compete the algae for the nutrients available. Please tell us what you have for lighting.
I use Flourish comprehensive once or twice a week [Memory dependent & I am actually out atm lol] for root tabs I use either the Flourish [Easily available] or the 'Trace' and 'Total' tabs from here.
I have lately been experimenting with some CO2 dosing via an impulse purchase of some API CO2 booster, It seems to work well in the smaller tanks [<29g].
Obviously I don't make this very complicated [Low-tech tanks ranging from low to Med-high lighting] but I don't attempt difficult plants either, Not on purpose anyway.
It's not all that complicated, I promise.Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
I tell you what I am missing is adequate lighting. I am running stock bulb in Aqueon hood. Low light. Sadly, I know less about lighting than I do about fertilizers. I have purchased a glass cover for the tank, but am just so clueless about what to put on top of it. I do not want to run Co2. Sounds like I shouldn't fertilize anymore until I deal with my lighting issue, right?
I have a 26 gal bow front tank which makes it a bit taller too...would that make a difference regarding the amount of light getting to the plants?
What type of bulb? color? wattage?
Like I said...clueless. Stock, 15 watt...color? How do I figure that one out?
Usually it says, but my aqueon is 8000k, as probably are others.Its Phillip, not Origami.
Join the 10+ club
You need to upgrade the lighting or the plants will fade away, except the anubia they grow in swamps with super low light. If any of your plants can float, let them float until you get a new light fixture. There should plenty of threads for you to read to figure out your lighting needs.
For ferts what works for me is-
I dose the flourish after a water change, say sunday. 2 days later, tuesday I dose the flourish excel since the co2 in the new water I added to the tank has probably been used up. Also on tuesday I fill up my kent aquadoser with another dose of the flourish and fill with water. Then I set it to a slow drip and it will disperse the flourish over several days. Then thursday or friday I dose some more flourish excel. This has worked well for me.
Until you truly know what your plants needs are for ferts it's best to start out on the low end of the dosing and see what kind of results you get. If you go overboard with excess nutrients you can have an algae farm practically overnight.
Thank you much for your advice! Not sure what a Kent Aquadoser is...is that a co2 thing? I am going to slow down with my ferts until I figure out this lighting issue. I understand my need to upgrade my current lighting system and will do my research before I fertilize much more. I don't need Algae problems!! If anyone out there has a 26 gal Aqueon Bow front and has replaced their stock light system, I'd love to hear what you've done!Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

What is UPSeis?
UPSeis (pronounced "up size") is a program created to teach young people (and not-so-young people) more about the planet we live on and how it works.
The UPSeis program is divided into two parts: this web site and a school program. In the UPSeis web site, we'll be talking mostly about the science of seismology and earthquakes: where they happen, why they happen, and what kinds of problems they cause. We'll tell you things you may already know and some stuff you may have never thought about.
The second part of the program takes place in the schools of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. A portable seismometer is rotated through various schools so that students and their teachers can see where and when earthquakes happen all over the world. The first school to have use of the seismometer was Houghton Middle School in Houghton, Michigan. The seismometer was installed in one of the school's classrooms during the spring of 1996, then moved back to the Quincy Mine (Hancock, MI) where it had spent the winter of 1995-96. The seismometer was put back in Houghton Middle School a few weeks ago and has recorded sevral nice earthquakes.

A cocktail tasting menu? Leave it to Smyth, the cutting-edge Travis St. lounge
File this one under "call me a cab." (Okay, you're a cab.)
Smyth, Michael Martensen's splendid cocktail lounge, is now offering a "coursed out" cocktail experience every Tuesday evening beginning September 17. The owner of the fashionable Travis St. hideaway and his bar manager, Omar YeeFoon, will be serving a series of five liquorous concoctions "from Fixes, Fizzes, Old Fashions, Brambles and other finer cocktails" in succession. The drinks, he says, may progress from "light and refreshing" to "rich and delightful." Yes, five! Please tell me anyone considering this will leave in a cab. I would also suggest eating dinner first. Something like an entire leg of veal or a whole pan of lasagne.
The first installment will feature drinks made with Tempis Fugit spirits, such as Gran Classico, Quinquina, Pacifique Absinthe Verte and Liqueur de Violette. Mr. Dallas is a fan. "Tempest Fugit Kina makes the truest expression of a Vesper," he says. (If you want to chuckle, take a look at the Tempis Fugit website. Seems like the person who put it together was drunk.)
UPDATE: Martensen adds that they will not be full-sized cocktails; "it's similar to a tasting menu of a chef." Yes, but I'm always very, very full after a tasting menu. Just sayin' everyone should be careful.
The price will be $40 to $70 per person, "depending on what spirit is being highlighted." Reservations are required, 214-520-0900.

On the Table
"There were lots of pics of the board members with the names of corporations they're involved with... They had a cool timeline of Cooper Union's role in development in the East Vill and how it corresponded to the national increase in student loan debt... and a video of Hitler and his Nazis talking in subtitles about paying tuition at Cooper Union."
Student artists have created posters that convey a generally unfavorable view of Cooper's financial dealings. One says "FUCKINTUITION" and another shows Peter Cooper sitting on a table with a $38,000 price tag attached to him--the caption reads, "Pay up sucka!"
$38,000 is, perhaps, the tuition fee being considered.
Another poster plays on the "green" nature of the new engineering building--here built of 100-dollar bills--and its position as a supposed structure of worship to be hailed. The poster may be implying that this building was a flagrant waste of money.
"...and they have a giant blow-up rat outside."

There was no need to build the disgusting looking building. They would have saved a lot by renovating and adding onto the building that was already there. I don't see any proposal for the president to take a pay cut either. This is another money grab.
- November 30, 2011 at 10:25 AM
It is hard to have sympathy for those Cooper Union students, knowing that they are tuition free and I believe may also get some kind of small stipend as well (not sure of that fact, something that was mentioned to me by a friend who used to go there). The reason being that I cannot think of anyone who went to Cooper Union and made any kind of contribution to art/design/architecture. Can you? If so, please respond with their names.
As for the diarrhea that replaced the former art building, really- what can you say that is positive about that random UFO monstrosity? As for the president taking a pay cut, why should he or she- most people would not want a pay cut for themselves, including me and most likely you.

Cooper Union began not as a totally free college but one that charged those who were well able to pay. To juxtapose the discussion of possibly returning to some sort of ability based tuition with Hitler is juvenile.

from what i understand, the trust was set up so that the working class would be "elevated" by free tuition here, not the middle or upper classes. in some ways, charging tuition to those who can afford it makes sense. but as others have pointed out, how will this impact admissions? will Cooper begin choosing students from wealthy families over those from poor families? seems like pay cuts for the very, very well-paid administration might be a good way to go right now.
- November 30, 2011 at 1:43 PM
Cooper alum here:
-Yes we got free tuition, but no stipend (at least not when I went there). We also had plenty of other fees that add up - lab fees, activity fees, books..plus housing and cost of living in a pretty expensive city. It adds up and I was roughing it for a while...
-plenty of notable alum as Brendan noted, not sure why that even matters in this discussion
-absolutely hate that art building, waste of money. agree that the administration has wasted lots of money and mismanaged assets.
Can't speak for all students, but just about all of my classmates were middle class or below. There are plenty of not so great things about Cooper, and many of us would have gone elsewhere if we could afford to. So I hope this controversy doesn't turn into hatred towards "greedy" students who want free tuition. This is one of the few places left where admission is based almost purely on merit. I hope that never changes.
And Jerimiah makes a good point about a hybrid tuition policy, it will influence admissions IMO and is a slippery slope.
- November 30, 2011 at 5:15 PM
Re: charging tuition to students with "ability to pay"
Fancy private schools all provide means-tested financial aid and ostensibly have "need-blind" admission. In practice, they remain out of most Americans' reach.

Abnormal posturing is different from "bad posture" or "slouching." Instead, it involves holding a body position, or moving one or more parts of the body in a certain way.
Abnormal posturing may be a sign of certain injuries to the brain or spinal cord.
Pathologic posturing; Evaluating a person in a coma
Abnormal posturing that occurs with little stimulation is a sign of serious central nervous system damage. Problems with or damage to the nervous system may appear as posturing when a person does certain tasks, such as walking on the sides of the feet, toes, or heels.
Normally when a muscle contracts, the muscles on the opposite side of the joint offer resistance to the contraction. Abnormal posturing occurs when damage to the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) reduces or prevents opposition to muscle contraction in certain muscle groups.
See the following types of abnormal postures:
An affected person may alternate between different postures as the condition changes.
Injury or swelling of a part of the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system is the most common cause of abnormal posturing. The type of posturing depends on the type and area of the nervous system involved.
People with abnormal posturing almost always have reduced consciousness. Anyone who shows symptoms of abnormal posturing should be examined right away by a health care provider.
In some conditions, such as a coma, these behaviors can continue for a long time.
All abnormal posturing should be treated in a hospital. This kind of movement is most often seen in patients who are in a coma. More subtle posturing that is caused by a doctor at a medical visit may not be as serious.
At the hospital, emergency treatment for abnormal posturing must be started right away. This includes placing a breathing tube and providing breathing assistance. The person will likely be placed in the hospital intensive care unit.
The medical history will be obtained from family members. A physical examination will be performed.
Medical history questions may include:
The physical examination will include a complete brain and nervous system evaluation.
Tests may include:

Orioles woes worsen both on the pitcher's mound and in the batter's box
Posted on 25 Jul 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Tonight's game between the Orioles and Rays was a painful game to watch that ended in a 10-1 score in favor of the Rays. It became ugly right from the first pitch of the game from the O's Miguel Gonzalez to the Rays Desmond Jennings. Jennings hit a lead off home run on the first pitch out of Gonzalez' hand. The game did not get any better for the O's on offense nor on defense. Gonzalez left ear...
