Back in 1992 thru the late 90s when I was running hunt test I was able to put titles on my dogs without driving too far. I did have to drive down into Idaho a ways, but that's reasonable and there were quite a few right here in Western Montana. Off the top of my head I remember running Ennis, Butte, Missoula and Great Falls all one Spring and Summer.
I just gave a started pup to a friend who has never done this sport and is amazed at what the dog can do. I told him this dog could absolutely pass JH test right now and is only a few months training away from being able to do Senior Hunter test. He is jacked so I went on the HT part of entry express to look up some HT he could enter, wow, basically only one HT in all of Montana, two, Missoula and Helena, were cancelled. What happened? Back when I was running HT it was thriving and fun. Did everybody move into field trials? I never imagined hunt test dying in our area.

Under this collaboration, while Takeda would retain its commercialization rights for any drug candidate emerging out of this collaboration, Advinus would be eligible for royalties on its worldwide product sales.
But this would not be the first of such deals. Most of big pharma have struck a deal with Indian CROs or pharma companies for drug discovery collaborations in the last decade or less. Pfizer had entered into a R&D collaboration with TCG Lifesciences in 2009. In February this year, TCG Life Sciences delivered a pre-clinical candidate to Pfizer in return for a milestone payment as per the agreement.
TCG Lifesciences also has similar ongoing drug discovery based partnership with Endo Pharmaceuticals, under which it has achieved significant milestones. Commenting on these developments, Mr Siddharth Dhodi said, "The trend of companies moving from a fee-for-service-model to long term partnerships involving R&D of drugs has been growing for some time. The model which allows for milestone based payments with big pharma owning the assets, is a win-win situation for both."
Worldwide the trend to offshore research projects to counter mounting costs seem to have become the norm. As Dr Paul Chapman, general manager, pharmaceutical research division, Takeda said, "Collaboration with Advinus is one of our initiatives to enhance our research productivity."
Such collaborations not only mitigate the huge financial risks associated with drug discovery, due to the lower costs for conducting research in India, it also allows to speed up the process considerably.
Another model that is being closely looked at is one involving out-licensing phase I molecules to companies that can then conduct further clinical trials for the same. Most experts echo the fact that the Indian pharmaceutical industry still lacks any player that has the resources to take a drug the whole nine yards from discovery to clinical trials. In such a scenario, drug discovery partnerships can help put India on the world map.

Daily Journal
While more suppliers for the Toyota Mississippi plant in Blue Springs will be named, communities hoping to land one will have to wait a little longer.
Because Toyota announced in December that it was postponing indefinitely the opening of its $1.3 billion assembly plant in Union County, suppliers, too, have been put on hold.
Dennis Cuneo, a former senior vice president for Toyota who advised the Japanese automaker's site selection team that chose Blue Springs, said suppliers are "in a holding pattern until they hear from Toyota."
Seven companies have announced they would supply Toyota Mississippi, all but one located in the state. The suppliers represent about 1,900 jobs and $385 million in investment.
The main Toyota plant is expected to employ about 2,000.
Cuneo, who remains an adviser for the Toyota Group of companies and has help land two suppliers in Northeast Mississippi (Auto Parts Manufacturing Mississippi in Baldwyn and Toyota Boshoku near Fulton), said Toyota isn't going to back away from its plans to build the Prius hybrid vehicle in Blue Springs.
At a forum at Itawamba Community College this week, Cuneo shot down talk that Toyota was rethinking its plans.
"The rumor that Toyota is trying to renegotiate its deal — there's no truth to it at all," said Cuneo. "Toyota has delayed the project to conserve cash; all companies are in that mode right now as the economy deteriorates."
Toyota has already invested $300 million in the Blue Springs plant, which was to begin production of the Prius in late 2010
Dave Copenhaver, vice president of administration for Toyota Mississippi, said plant construction should be complete by May or June. After that, it's up to Toyota to determine when to order and install the production equipment and to hire and train workers.
The company hasn't said when that will happen, but some auto industry experts suggest that the plant won't open until late 2011 or 2012 at the earliest.
Said Copenhaver, "it's not a matter of if, but when."

- Description
Of the panos I have taken, this one is rapidly becoming a favourite because although it is superficially not much to look at, it has a high degree of zoomabilty. *STOP PRESS* New version here: www.gigapan.org/gigapans/63157/
You can also check out the guided tour at www.byteswithbite.co.uk/kilgore/org/auto/gen.htm . (This is very much a proof-of-concept rather than a finished product, but I rather like it.)
There is a slightly larger view of the interesting part of this pano in www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=9808.
Is three suspension bridges in one pano a record?
I believe I have found all the churches that you can see in the Bath portion of this pano - unless you know different!
For a similar gigapan do check out Brian Bentham's share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=15962. Lots to see there too.

I think I have to credit luck rather than judgement. I happened to choose a day where there were fluffy white clouds and very little wind. What amazes me is that this scene was taken with a cheap camera and if you compare it with the later version taken with a 7D I'm not sure there is a significant difference.
It's amazing to see how well the clouds were captured.
In this country everyone remarks on how the weather is different these days. Generally speaking we get warmer winters and cooler summers. This year we had no summer at all and the last time I personally experienced any significant snow was in Leeds in the 1980s. I'd say there is no consensus on the causes. We have had a Labour government here for many years, but I suspect it is the fault of Mrs Thatcher!
One year, back in the 80s, I remember very distinctly, that it snowed here in Houston five times and stayed on the ground for at least a few hours... now it only snows here, maybe once every five years or so. If I was a member of the Republican Party, I could blame this weather reversal on the Democrats, or if I were a Democrat, the Republican Party would then get the blame. Sadly, now we can say its everybody's problem on how we beat up on the environment with our pleasures of life. Is this the same way you see it happening in England?
It *will* be interesting seeing as we haven't seen weather like that here for 20 years :-)
It will be interesting to see this panorama during mid-winter with all the snow-capped roofs and the snow blowing in 20-30mph gusts and the temperature well-below freezing.

Thread: 15 gal snail tank?
15 gal snail tank?
I've been wanting snails for some time now, but the goldfish in the 90 gal will eat them and the tetras in the 32 gal pick at the horned armor snails, so with the death of my betta, I've decided to turn the 15gal tank into a snail paradise.
Population at the moment is 2 horned armor snails. I would add 2 nerite snails and an apple snail. Thoughts on what other critters would be compatible and happy in a bare or lightly planted 15gal tank?
Food would be veggies I throw in there, algae wafers and items from the other tanks that need a scrub (rocks and anubias plants)I groom ranchus. That is all.
How about some shrimp? They would appreciate some simple plants, but I know my RCS will pick algae off of anything and everything.
0Originally Posted by CascadeI groom ranchus. That is all.
No problem! I have red cherry shrimp (RCS) in two tanks - one is a big community tank and one is a 10g shrimp only (with some pond snail hitchhikers) tank. They really keep to themselves and, when they are comfortable (i.e. not being hunted by other fish) they rarely hide.
I imagine they would completely ignore the snails. I have a nerite, trumpet snails, and some pond snails in my community tank with the shrimp and everyone behaves. That being said, the RCS are only about an inch long, so I can't imagine they could do any damage even if they suddenly decided to go crazy.
Temperature ranges from maybe 68 to 78 degrees (just a guess based on my experience). I found that the cooler the water, the less active they are. I keep my tanks at 75 to keep everyone happy.
As far as plants, mine are most frequently on the plants in the tank, picking off little unseen bits of food. I don't think it's a requirement for their care, but I mentioned plants simply because that's where I see mine the most. Moss seems to be a favorite. They are scavengers, but I do drop in a piece of a sinking pellet from time to time. They will come running from all corners of the tank and congregate around the food.
They are a lot of fun to watch as they buzz around the tank. It will give you a little more activity than the snails alone. They also multiply quite profusely, so you don't have to start with very many.
They tend to be fairly expensive in pet stores (at least around here). I picked mine up from aquabid, the going rate is generally about $1 each, look carefully and you can often find a deal with free shipping, too.
Hope that answers your questions, feel free to ask if you have any more

Psoriasis is less common in populations whose dietary staples include cold-water fish containing omega-3 fatty acids. But study results have been mixed as to whether fish oil supplements can reduce inflammation and improve psoriasis signs and symptoms, such as itching and scaling. The latest findings suggest that fish oil delivered by a needle in a vein (intravenously) reduces psoriasis symptoms more quickly than do fish oil supplements taken by mouth.
One small study indicated that a combination of a calorie-restricted diet and increased omega-3 fatty acids helped control psoriasis in obese people with psoriasis. More study is needed.
Side effects of high-dose fish oil supplements can include a fishy aftertaste, heartburn and nausea. Dosages greater than 3 grams a day may affect blood clotting, increase your risk of bleeding and decrease blood pressure. This may be of particular concern if you're taking blood-thinning medication or high blood pressure medication.

Great overall post on filtering systems and dead on but I think a word on bio-wheel HOB's needs to be added.
These are really hybrids - a HOB and a scaled down version of a wet/dry filter that fits on the back of the tank at water level. As noted, the oxygen level in the air is thousands of times higher than the water. The bio-wheel uses this function and also offers a versatile box (the HOB part) to put glass wool, and/or phosphate absorbers, extra bio-filtering media or charcoal for med removal that is easy to access all in one convent location - hence the versatility of this filter is par-one.
These filters cost a little more compared to run-of-the-mill HOB's and add a very slight amount of extra work (the spray bar needs to be cleaned now and again with the included pipe cleaner brush) but wil lcarry a heavier bio-load for the same volume tank due to the enhanced bio-level of action (due to the vastly improved oxygenation of the waste water.)
Combined with a canister on tanks 55 gal and greater, I can't think of a better combo.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

There's an error in the description of the canister filters. While this error might be inconsequential to people who "just use" these filters, it might matter to those that want to properly understand their operation.
Canister filers are NOT gravity fed. It is a popular misconception. Again, it might matter to you or it might not.
If you want to see a good example of a true gravity feed, take a look at a typical wet-dry filter. The key moment here is that the water volume in a wet-dry filter is not continuous. There's a water pickup line and there's a return line. These two lines operate independently. They are separated by a gap: the filter itself, which is not sealed and is not flooded. The filter itself is essentially an air gap between the incoming and returning water volumes (which is why it is called wet-dry). And the pickup line of a typical wet-dry filter is indeed a good example of a gravity feed: the water is simply siphoned from tank under its own weight. This pickup process required no external power, which is the main feature of the gravity feed. Meanwhile, returning water from wet-dry filter back to the tank requires quite a bit of power (depending on the height difference and the volume per unit of time), so for high-performance wet-dry filters and large height differences you'd need a relatively strong pump. Note also, that if you disconnect a wet-dry filter from external power, it will overflow, since the gravity feed will continue to supply water, while the return pump is stopped.
Now, let's finally return to the topic of canister filters. The key detail about canister filters is that they are sealed and fully flooded units. In a canister filter, the water volume is continuous (!). The pickup line is filled with water, which leads directly into the fully-flooded inner volume of the canister and then directly to the return line. This water fully fills all available sealed volume (possible air bubbled notwithstanding). In this case the pickup and return lines are essentially two absolutely identical siphons, with absolutely identical gravity feed properties, acting on the same volume of water in opposite directions. These two siphons exactly and precisely counterbalance, cancel each other. Once the canister filter is set up (filled with water), the system cannot "gravity feed" itself (!). The system remains in exact equilibrium, with no self-sustaining feed of any kind possible. The beauty of this approach is that for the purposes of circulation the weight of the water in pickup line fully and exactly counterbalances the weight of the water in return line. Now, all you need to do to make the water circulate is to add a relatively simple water pump. From the filter pump's point of view, the water is weightless, regardless of how far below the aquarium level the filter is installed. This pump does not need to spend any effort to lift the water back to the tank, since the weight of the water is cancelled. All this pump has to be able to do is push the water through the media, i.e. overcome the fluid drag and friction in various hoses, chambers, cartridges, sponges etc. Again, and this is the key point: the pump does not need to spend any effort on lifting the water back into the tank, since in a canister filter the water is effectively weightless (for the purposes of circulation). If you disconnect a canister filter from external power, the water flow will simply stop. (Compare that to the above example with a wet-dry filter. See the difference?)
Note that because of this important property canister filters (as opposed to wet-dry filters) are fairly insensitive to the height difference between the tank and the filter itself. Regardless of how great that difference is, the siphoning action of the water in pickup line will exactly and precisely cancel the siphoning action of the water in return line. Longer hoses will, of course, create more fluid drag, but that's about it. That means that greater height difference does not require a more powerful pump (Compare it, again, to a wet-dry filter, where a greater height difference immediately requires more power from the pump.)
Some might ask: why then canister filter manufacturers always warn us about NOT creating too much of a height difference? There's a reason behind this, but it has absolutely noting to do with having to lift water to a greater height (as some people believe and, as you now know, it really not a factor at all). The real reason behind this is pressure. You see, regardless of how low you put your filter, the siphoning action of the water in the pickup line will always counterbalance the siphoning action of the water in return line (so the pump won't have to spend more effort). However, the pressure inside the filter will grow with the height difference. A canister filter is a sealed system and it is critically important to keep it fully sealed. All those sealing gaskets and rings inside the filter are rated to a certain level of pressure. Once you cross that limit, this will will start developing leaks. This is the reason you should stay withing the manufacturers recommended height difference. Again, crossing that limit will not kill your pump (as many people erroneously believe), but will rather kill your seals. (Basically, the reason for this is exactly the same some wristwatches have a depth rating, except that in a filter the water is inside)

So, while I went inside to register he picked up the phone and called Monaco tech support. About an hour later, and after much trial and error, we managed to get the coach to stop running. We now have an appointment at the local service center on Friday. Like I have said previously - never a dull moment out here on the road
We are only here in the 'Twin Cities' for a few days and I have resigned myself to only being able to hit the highlites. We made the obligatory stop at the Mall of America. I'm not much of a shopper and Ken will only make a purchase if he doesn't have to 'pay retail'. Prior to heading to the mall we had discovered that some friends were staying at the campground with us. They had actually been in the process of checking out when they noticed our coach, so they added a day and met us at the mall. It was fun spending several hours with them catching up on all they have been up to since last we crossed paths.
We also had time to visit the State Capitol in St. Paul. It is a very impressive building and the grounds were the most pristine we have seen After the Capitol we headed over to Minnehaha Falls park to take a look at the falls which are believed to have been the inspiration for Longfellow's poem "Hiawatha". We also found time to tour Lock & Dam #1 on the Mississippi River. All and all a very successful day of sightseeing which gave us just enough of a taste of this area to make us want to come back.

We avoided a bust in 2011 -- thanks to gutsy consumers
I'm happy to usher out the 2011 U.S. auto sales year. It's been, ahem, an interesting year -- in the same sense as in the ancient curse: "May you live in interesting times."
Mostly, it was the kind of year you want to scrape off your boots. Unrealized promise, dashed hopes, frustrating changes, confusion, uncertainty. And often scary -- right down to our cruel and savage planet itself.
Sometimes we wanted to scream "Quit screwing with us" at the unending parade of people and events afflicting our industry. Financial markets, European debtors, Congress, the basic economy.
Yet, I'm also a bit sorry to see 2011 go. It had redeeming qualities. As years go, it was, well, kinda plucky. You know, resilient.
And it had two big pluses. Sales did actually rise more than a million units. And, precisely because suppliers, automakers and dealers had so savagely cut to the bone to survive 2009, most everybody turned a profit.
But my favorite 2011 development was the emergence of hardier car buyers. An attitude of "Yeah, the economy stinks but I'm gonna buy a vehicle anyhow" is growing more common. It kept 2011 from becoming a bust.
But on reflection, so long 2011. I'm ready for 2012. I think I'm going to like it better.

Hey guys
I'm seriously thinking of rooting my wife's htc desire z, as she has been experiencing problems with poor signal and battery life lately.
Will rooting and installing a custom rom help or hinder these issues? On Tuesday her phone battery died by 4pm but today (Wednesday) with exactly the same usage, the battery lasted a whole day.
It's annoying because it's a good phone but little niggles like this are becoming annoying!

You never know when inspiration will strike. Today, while checking our Twitter account, I saw an intriguing tweet from HAUS Interior:
I clicked the link and found an extraordinary Zig Zag throw, in graphic Navy and White.
We loved it instantly- for its simple yet timeless pattern, its bold lines and striking contrast of color.
Just as instantly, my mind flashed to our Lineal Collection border pattern, Herringbone Classico. Here we have a simple herringbone pattern, which is really just a zig zag layout... and our border could easily be specified as an alternating zig zag instead of how we've shown it previously, as two colors of tile randomly placed.
Since we produce each tile and assemble each order by hand, we can make it the way you like. If you prefer dynamic movement in your patterns, this is perfect in both classic colors or as a blast of brights for a mod interior. Any of our handmade Solid Colors can be combined to create a unique border design. Do you want delicate or wide stripes? Yes, you can choose that, too.
Here are four zig zag options that are available using our Herringbone Classico pattern. Choose 2, 3 or 4 colors for this stunning new pattern option - Herringbone Zig Zag.
For a retro look, we recommend solid colors #95 Lichen, #73 Butter and #24 Steel.
For a more classic zig zag, try #68 Twilight, #31 Snow and #71 Dune.
Check out our other newly released Lineal Collection patterns on our blog: Woven Rift, Rift Valley, Bamboo Forest, Composition Six and Marching Orders. How will you customize the patterns to make your own unique design?

Huh! OSM on iOS
Somehow I missed this back in March (see also: not being very functional online lately), but it seems like Apple is ditching Google Maps in favour of OpenStreetMap. They've already started using it in iPhoto and word is it'll replace GMaps throughout iOS in the not-too-distant future. Official announcement, more commentary and analysis from searchenginewatch.
This is great, because it saves me from trying to figure out how to do it myself. I've tried a couple of OSM apps for iOS but haven't found a particularly good one. They tend to be slow, ugly, and of course not integrated with other apps. So, I'm looking forward to seeing what Apple delivers.
I've been trying to get away from using too many Google apps since they showed their true colours last year. Opting out of the Google monoculture only to buy into an Apple one wouldn't seem like a win, except that the underlying data is open licensed, which makes a big difference as far as I'm concerned. In some ways this reminds me of a project I worked on at Monash University, lo these many years ago, where the policy was, "use whatever proprietary crapware you want, as long as it supports open standards." At the time we used it to choose Netscape SuiteSpot (pause to laugh — but it supported POP, LDAP, iCalendar and the like) over Microsoft Exchange.
Like the open standards that underpin the Internet, OSM's open license means a variety of apps and platforms can be built on it, and users can choose between them. And, with any luck, corporations like Apple will contribute back (with money or staff or just a vague aura of legitimacy) bring OSM the same sort of respectability that Linux and other open technologies have gained over the last decade or so.
So anyway, once I can cut over to OSM on my phone, the most important Google apps I have remaining are mail and docs. With regard to mail, does anyone have an alternative which is:
- as searchable as GMail is, or nearly so, and
- has decent keyboard shortcuts?
I rely heavily on those features, and would find them pretty hard to live without. I've tried IMAP with Thunderbird and Mail.app in the past, and am not particularly happy with them, so let's assume those are off the table for now. I'm actually almost tempted to go back to a command-line based solution, perhaps offlineimap and mutt with some heavy indexing.

Family: Phasianidae, Pheasants and Grouse view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Appears gray-buff overall, but close inspection reveals dark buff barring, least striking on belly. Note dark stripe through eye, pale throat, and dark feathers on side of neck; appearance of head is transformed in display by raised "hare's ears" feathers and inflated reddish neck sac. ADULT FEMALE Similar to male, but with less distinct dark markings. JUVENILE Similar to adult female.
Dimensions Length: 16" (41 cm)
Habitat Uncommon and local, restricted to arid native prairie habitats where short bluegrass and sagebrush predominate. Has suffered catastrophic decline (population now around 20,000); current problems mirror those faced by Greater.
Observation Tips Easiest to see in spring when males display at communal leks, usually on slightly raised ground. Unobtrusive at other times of year.
Range Plains, Texas, Rocky Mountains, Southwest
Voice All birds utter clucking calls. Displaying male's calls are higher pitched than Greater's.
Discussion Superficially similar to Greater, but displaying males in particular are separable with care: inflated neck sacs are reddish, calls are higher pitched and more frantic, and tail is fanned only at start of performance. Lesser's smaller size is not a useful identification feature in the field, especially since you are most unlikely to encounter both species side-by-side. Compared to Greater, Lesser has paler barring, which creates grayer plumage overall, and a less distinct pale throat.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Absentee voting looks checkered across Northeast Mississippi one week from national election day.
In Lafayette County, Circuit Clerk Baretta Mosley reported already as many absentee votes as the 2008 total.
"We were expecting this since we've had an increase in population," she said Monday.
Four years ago, Prentiss County native son Travis Childers was fighting for re-election to Congress, and that may be why absentee voting there was so much higher than this year, speculated Circuit Clerk Mike Kelly.
Nearly 800 absentee votes were received in 2008, compared with 367 so far this year, Kelly said.
Absentee voter lines stretched out the door and down the hall in DeSoto County, north Mississippi and the 1st Congressional District's most populous county south of Memphis.
"We've voted more than 3,200 so far – 275 on Saturday," said Clerk Dale Thompson.
An assistant in her office also said it's averaging about 400 absentee votes a day, with expectations for 6,000 total, about the same as four years ago.
Absentee voting appeared down or about the same compared to 2008 in Alcorn, Monroe and Union counties, a random check found.
Voters across the nation will go to the polls Nov. 6.
Absentee voting in Mississippi continues:
• In person, at the clerk's office until noon Saturday.
• By mail, must be received in the clerk's office by 5 p.m. Nov. 5.
Military absentee ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
"Absentee voting is typically a pretty good indicator of voter turnout on Election Day," said Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.
Last week, he said voters were turning out but not in numbers comparable with the previous presidential election cycle, when nearly 10 percent of the votes cast were absentee.
Almost 68 percent of the absentee ballots requested to be sent to Mississippi voters by mail have been returned and processed in local circuit clerk offices. The total number of absentee ballots mailed to registered voters for the Nov. 6 election is 42,086.
Across the U.S. some 39.7 million or 30 percent of all votes in the 2008 presidential election were cast prior to Election Day.
George Mason University's Dr. Michael McDonald, who studies elections, said 2008 was a "significant increase" from 2004's 20 percent and likely to increase as more states adopt early voting.
Mississippi does not have early voting.
