It's a hot Sunday afternoon, and east Nob Hill feels drowsy and quiet—with one exception. The Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, on Silver just south of Central, buzzes with energy. A speech therapist counsels male-to-female transgender youth on how to practice raising the tones of their voices. Two visitors stop by to browse free clothes available in the center's brimming walk-in closet. A parent volunteer shows a guest around the rooms, pointing out the computer lab and the small lending library.
And lounging in the office shared by the organization's two directors is 18-year-old Cris. He's soft-spoken with cropped black hair and chunky-rimmed glasses. "I don't have friends or people that I talk to," he admits. He leans forward in his chair when he says he's excited to be here for his first support group meeting. He's looking forward to meeting others who, finally, understand what he's going through.
Cris describes the anger that began welling up in him as a 5 year old—anger that he says shadows him to this day. In elementary school, wary of the questions and taunts of his classmates, he avoided using the restroom and suffered frequent urinary tract infections. By the time puberty hit, his exemplary grades started to slip. He ditched school and started using drugs, struggled with thoughts of suicide and eventually dropped out of high school altogether. Without close friends to confide in, his process of self-discovery has primarily been limited to the Internet. He pores over blogs detailing stories of other transgender men coming to terms with the fact that they don't feel at home in the female bodies they were born into.
"This is my own life, and it's not an experience that's completely separate from the whole of human experience."
Tenzin Beck, 20 years old
"Realizing that I liked girls was easier, and I've dealt with that for a few years," says Cris. "Realizing that you're a completely different person from who you've been—it's a lot more difficult. It creates a lot of inner turmoil, and it's very exhausting. But once you realize who you are, it's also very relieving."
The speech therapist winds up her session, and Cris joins the circle of other youth group members, who today range in age from 16 to 21. Their conversation moves energetically across a range of topics, from finding acceptance in Albuquerque ("I find it much more tolerant than the little farming village in Michigan where I'm from," says 21-year-old Alex) to the complexities of coming out to family and peers, to their hopes for the future.
"Culture doesn't change on its own," says 20-year-old Tenzin Beck, a slim blonde with a shy but wide smile. "I don't want to say that it's each person's responsibility to be an agent of change, because it is a burden, and it is difficult. In a lot of ways it really sucks to try to be an activist." But challenges notwithstanding, says Beck, it's imperative that as a society we figure out how to stop thinking of differences as dangerous defects. Having community members who are out and visible and willing to share their stories and answer questions plays a big part in getting there. "This is my own life," she says, "and it's not an experience that's completely separate from the whole of human experience."
Establishmentarians, media pundits and others who decry young people's lack of ambition and civic participation obviously haven't spent time with Albuquerque's LGBTQ youth.
As Alyssa Hedrick, co-chair of UNM's Queer-Straight Alliance, says of her peers' political literacy, "We are all over that shit."
"People forget what Pride actually is," says Frankie Flores, a UNM student who works as a program assistant at the university's LGBTQ Resource Center. "Now it's become this big party full of celebrating—and while that's really important, people also need to remember that Pride comes out of paying respect to those who have given their lives for us to be able to do these things."
In the last year, "these things" included significant steps forward. Gay people can now serve openly in the military. President Obama came out in support of same-sex marriage. California's Proposition 8 was struck down in federal court. Meanwhile, closer to home, voters in New Mexico District 26 elected Jacob Candelaria, who at age 25 will be the first openly gay man to serve in the Legislature. Albuquerque Pride moved its headquarters to a prominent location Downtown. The Transgender Resource Center established itself as one of the first safe spaces of its kind in the country, and UNM's LGBTQ Resource Center celebrated its second year of providing trainings, free counseling and HIV screenings, among other services.
Building on that momentum, say young activists in Albuquerque, is essential to realizing their vision of a more accepting culture—especially because one step forward can sometimes result in two steps back. As more young people feel empowered to come out as gay or transgender, more are at risk for bullying and other forms of violence.
"People are starting to dismiss bullying as being hyped up or over-
Adults as well as young people still don't have the tools and confidence to stand up to bullying, says Flores, and normalized behavior such as degrading something by calling it "gay," contributes to a larger culture of violence. And that culture, says Flores, is deadly for LGBTQ people.
Flores' colleague Lilly Lawrence-Metzler was a junior in high school when she started attending Queer-Straight Alliance meetings at the university. Even though she wasn't old enough to attend UNM, she volunteered to help students establish a university-supported center to serve the entire community. Today, she's the youngest staff member at the LGBTQ Resource Center. The UNM sophomore coordinates "safe zone" trainings and certification for anyone who wants to serve as an LGBTQ ally. She describes her sense of the future as guardedly optimistic.
"People are starting to dismiss bullying as being hyped up or over-sensationalized. I've encountered a lot of people who say that it's just a part of life. To which I respond: 50 years ago, so was lynching. Some parts of life need to change."
Frankie Flores, UNM LGBTQ Resource Center
"Sure, we have all these great laws getting passed," says Lawrence-Metzler. "But that also comes with some big backlash." She's personally witnessed a continual pattern of self-harm and risky decision-making among her peers. Worldwide, levels of suicide and substance abuse remain disproportionately high among gay and transgender people. That's why she says creating accessible, high-profile safe zones is so important—even lifesaving.
"We still have people not coming out because they're terrified that they'll be hurt. And that's just not OK," she says. "We need a society and a world where people can be themselves. You don't have to agree with someone in order to respect them and be OK with them, and a lot of people are still missing that point."
Lighting the way to that point begins on the playground more than in board rooms, says Jenn Jevertson—and that ground-level territory is where the New Mexico Gay-Straight Alliance Network (she's the program manager) feels right at home. The Network is an offshoot of the Santa Fe Mountain Center, a nonprofit that serves multiple populations of marginalized young people through outdoor programs. In 2000, Mountain Center staff identified that a growing number of kids they worked with were suffering from mental health and social issues because of sexual orientation or gender identity stigmas.
Jevertson says national statistics show that LGBTQ youth attempt suicide four times more than their peers and are bullied two to three times more. "The reason we got started with the Gay-Straight Alliance Network was that we found that one of the best ways to access and support youth are through Gay-Straight Alliance clubs," she adds. "Most kids have to go to school, and if there are more GSAs in schools, then more youth have access to a safe space."
The clubs don't just benefit gay or trans students, says Jevertson. They're also sources of support to kids that have two dads or two moms, or the kid whose brother is gay and wants to be around people who won't make mean remarks about it.
When the New Mexico Gay-Straight Alliance Network first started its work in 2005, Jevertson says it identified 12 GSA clubs across the state. This year, after hosting regular events and trainings for student leaders, she's counted 57 active clubs. Middle and high school students on the state GSA Youth Council identify the networks' priorities, such as the need for better confidentiality training in school health clinics. They also learn how to support other students who want to establish or strengthen GSA clubs at their own schools. It's more effective than an adult-driven, top-down approach, says Jevertson.
She says her firsthand experiences with young people have taught her that the clichéd phrase, "young people are the leaders of tomorrow," is wrong.
"We believe that youth are our leaders right now. They don't have to wait to grow up to have an impact. They don't have to wait until they're 18 and registered to vote. They're definitely capable and effective leaders right now."
Back at the Transgender Resource Center, the youth group's topic of conversation shifts again—this time to the challenge of confronting prejudices among members of LGBTQ community who are expected to be allies.
Tenzin Beck threads her fingers thoughtfully as she speaks. "My girlfriend is a much stronger activist than I, and she says what hurts the most is when people who are nominally on the same side of this fight ... say incredibly transphobic things. It's much more hurtful than when people completely outside of the community say the same thing."
Adrien Lawyer, executive director of the Transgender Resource Center, elaborates on the concept. He says there's a need to improve support and understanding about all self-proclaimed members of the queer community—including among its own members.
"The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell didn't help transgender people," Lawyer points out. And marriage equality only directly affects transgender people who are also lesbian or gay, which many trans people are not, he adds. "LGBT rights and community—those are very real. But it's also real that the transgender movement on its own, as a discrete thing, is easily 20 or 30 years behind the LGB movement," he says. "Civil rights advances that get discussed are only tangentially related to the transgender experience."
"You don't have to agree with someone in order to respect them and be OK with them, and a lot of people are still missing that point."
Lilly Lawrence-Metzler, UNM LGBTQ Resource Center
That wider view of the LGBTQ movement has begun to inform the work of young local activists. They vocally share a determination to build a more inclusive community under their own tent.
In addition to spearheading anti-bullying projects at UNM, Frankie Flores also heads up the school's new Queer Voices Roundtable—a project that brings together all of the LGBTQ groups on campus for regular meetings, along with ally organizations. Flores says their combined efforts have already resulted in meaningful institutional changes, starting in the 2012 spring semester.
"We believe that youth are our leaders right now. They don't have to wait to grow up to have an impact. They don't have to wait until they're 18 and registered to vote."
Jenn Jevertson, New Mexico Gay-Straight Alliance Network
"We don't have many universal restrooms, and it causes issues for our transgender community," Flores explains. "Through the roundtable, people realized this was a bigger issue that needed to be addressed."
The restrooms problem was presented to the undergrad and graduate governing student bodies. "They were interested and concerned, and a resolution was passed," says Flores. Work is underway to modify single-stall bathrooms on campus so they can be used by anyone, regardless of gender orientation.
The roundtable members' next project is to get Queer Studies declared an official minor, "which has to go through the state Legislature," Flores says. "We don't know if that will happen during our current governor's term—but we're working on it."
Alyssa Hedrick and Austin Evans, co-chairs of UNM's Queer-Straight Alliance, say their experiences in LGBTQ activism represent a sea change within their generation. The two have a warm, easy camaraderie when they talk, often finishing one another's sentences.
"It's interesting to see such a stark difference between the older generations and our generation," Hedrick says.
"The work that I want to do in the future is connect to the people who are in-between on that polarized spectrum," Evans says. "We need to continue with education and convince people on the fence that we're not all that bad—that LGBTQ individuals are sons and daughters, doctors and lawyers, just like everybody else."
Speaking of doctors, Cris, the young man at the Transgender Resource Center, says he wants to be one someday. "I have big dreams," he says. They begin with hormone therapy and getting his GED. Then he'd like to embark on a career that helps people. And someday, he hopes to have a partner who appreciates the whole of who he is.
"For me to know what it's like from a woman's side, and then going over—it'd be cool to have more men who are for women's causes," he says. "I'll know from firsthand experience what it's like, and I'll be a very good advocate and ally."
He pauses to consider whether all these qualities will make him into a good boyfriend and husband in the future, and he smiles. "Hopefully—one day, if I get less awkward."

Wild Timbers Alabama's Showgirl (2 For 2 SHR passes)
I've fed my dogs Purina ProPlan Perfromance for about 6-7 years with nothing but great results. However, I recently switched to Loyall Professional mostly because where I buy it, they quit carrying the performance formula. I'm only half way through the first bag, so far I've seen no ill side effects.
your gona get 100 different answers but most will be proplan
I've been happy with Eukanuba. My general advice on dog food is feed what your dogs do best on that you can afford.
i just switched from proplan 30/20 to loyall 31/20 and am getting the same results as with the proplan but with less coming out the rear. i also feed 3.5 cups instead of the 4 cups of food but the waste is significantly smaller than with the proplan. also $4 a bag cheaper (not alot but adds up) also has less corn products. have gone through about half a bag now.
I'm curious about what you have been feeding and why you and not satisfied? What "results" are you not getting?
Also, I wonder what you consider "High End Dog Food". The foods mentioned so far are very popular, but not what I'd consider "High End".
IMHO, the best dry dog food on the market is Orijen. However, the price just went up and the size of the bag went down half a kg. I only use it for my brood bitch and with puppies for the first year or so, because I think during those times in a dog's life (growing up and reproduction) only the best will do!
Jeff Swackhamer
I am using Merrick grain free buffalo with great results.
I am happy with Infinia grain free. 5 star rating but not unreasonably priced.
Terry "Bud" Cunningham
Kankakee River HRC
I like to feed a proplan 30/20 during winter/hunting season's, then fall off to a 26/16 during the summer/off months. Keeps the weight off of them since training drops due to the hot weather. But still a good high quality food to meet the high nutritional needs our dogs demand.
I am feeding a 24/20 sport mix I have been feeding it for several years but here lately I'm not getting as good of a coat coat on my dogs and after working a dog hard for few days in a row there not bouncing back as good as I like. And the third thing is I feed twice what most people feed and dog still acts like it starving when I feed her around 6 cups a day!

Arizona State DL Will Sutton
- Sutton flashed his talent all week and showed everyone what a dominant force he could be once he loses the weight. He put on weight at the request of Sun Devils coaches and it affected him in a negative manner. He still had a good 2013 but it just wasn't the same like 2011 and 2012. Sutton features good hand usage, above average quickness and agility. along with good initial moves. What he needs to work on is the counter moves when his first move is beaten. He can sneak into the first round but maintained a second round status.
Auburn DL Dee Ford
- Ford continued his good run of form in Mobile. If Aaron Donald wasn't there, Ford would've been arguably the best defensive lineman out there. Ford has excellent athleticism and a pretty fast get off. He was the lynchpin behind Auburn's vaunted pass rush and put up a great effort in the national title game. Pretty much a first round lock at this point.
BYU DE/OLB Kyle Van Noy
- Ezekiel Ansah who? Yeah KVN is that good of an athlete. He was expected to blow up this week and did not disappoint whatsoever.
Florida CB Jaylen Watkins
- Watkins could be this year's Lavar Edwards. Someone will take a chance on him based off of his performance this week. Sitting behind much more heralded Marcus Roberson and Louchiez Purifoy allowed Watkins to slip under the radar. He is an athlete that has some ball skills along with good recovery speed. What he needs to improve upon is his press coverage ability.
Vanderbilt WR Jordan Matthews
- Matthews was consistent all week long. He's not the fastest guy in the world but knows how to run all the routes with effectiveness. Matthews knows how to work the short to intermediate game with effectiveness. He's also a big body that can go up and get it if need be. Projected as a third round pick with a chance to get into the second at this point. He has an outside chance at the first round.
Coastal Carolina RB Lorenzo Taliaferro
- Talifferro opened many eyes in Mobile this week, showing well in pass blocking and receiving drills. It's nice to see a small school guy make something of himself this week. Taliaferro has underrated agility and vision. He's more of a hammer up the middle, measuring in at 6'2 230.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Obama said it. People say he is such a great orator, then be prepared to have his speeches looked at closely. He said a "civilian national security force" he did not say "peace force" that does not sound like the peace corps / boys scouts or any other current "force". Especially when he talks about funding them as well as the military.
I suppose I should put his entire speech up so you folks can read through the whole thing so you don't think anyone is trying to take things out of context. I was speaking specifically of this one line. Even taken in its context it still worth discussing.

The Small but Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library
Make the most of media in all of its forms
Newspapers, radio and TV outlets may be few and far between where you live. If so, you will need to look for other opportunities such as newsletters (print and electronic) published by schools, local governments, religious and community groups.
If you do have local media, don't hesitate to approach them. Many newspapers with small staffs welcome news items and columns that you write. Local talk shows may be looking for topics of interest to discuss. Remember that even very small publications/stations take their role seriously. Whatever you can do to make their job easier will make your job easier.
- Start by asking them questions. What kinds of stories are they looking for? When is their deadline? Do they prefer hard copy or email?
- Expect to be asked hard questions—especially if money is involved. Be prepared to answer and don't take it personally.
- Be prepared to give "sound bites" or "quotable quotes" that make your point along with examples and statistics.
- Learn how to write a good, basic news release starting with the most important information and ending with the least. Use simple sentences and keep it brief.
- Take advantage of letters to the editor and guest columns to make your case.
- Feel free to suggest feature stories about various services, perhaps on a quarterly basis. You may even be asked to write them.
- Send public service announcements to your local radio station. These brief announcements (about 70 words) are aired free of charge for nonprofit organizations.
- Provide ideas for local columnists ("Did you know you can get audio books—for free—at the library?") or consider writing your own column.
- Remember to thank them—especially for coverage that is above and beyond.

ITWire still has problems with basic accuracy
ITWire ran a story on the 12th of January entitled "Fedora still has problems with secure boot". It ends up discussing two issues with the author's experience with the Fedora installer - that he can't reclaim any free space on existing drives, and that the installer didn't automatically add entries for Windows to the grub menu. These are certainly legitimate issues, and I don't want to suggest that it's reasonable for people to have to manually alter their configuration in order to support dual boot. But they're not issues with Fedora's support for secure boot, despite the enthusiasm with which certain people have jumped on the story. We've received one credible report of a secure boot related problem with Fedora on a couple of Toshiba laptops, which appears (and I want to stress that we're still working on diagnosing it) to be a firmware bug rather than any kind of problem with Fedora.
Mistakes happen in journalism, and sometimes there are differences of opinion. But this story is simply wrong. When asked about it in the comments, the author failed to support his position. When contacted, the editor in chief was willing to add a note saying that I disputed the arguments but was unwilling to remove the incorrect claims. As a result, the internet remains full of links and reposts of an article that unashamedly tells users that the current Linux distribution with the best UEFI hardware support has issues with something it has no issues with.
For reasons that are unclear to me, ITWire seems to have some sort of well regarded status in the Australian technical industry. It seems entirely undeserved.

Lets' also not forget Kevin was a little shithead himself. As a kid I would literally cringe when he's at the stair landing and says to his mom "I am upstairs, dummy". I would never even IMAGINE saying something like that to my mother.
quote:I was thinking the same thing watching this. I was about 13 when this came out and I'm thinking "Damn bitch, shut up and take the money!" I went to stores alone all the time as a kid and the people were always nice.
She asks where his mother and father are. Not a friendly, "You doin' some shopping by yourself today?" No, it's blatantly asking where in the frick are your parents you stupid fricking kid. Then she asks about brothers and sisters. Let's get to the kicker: She asks him where he lives. Who in the frick is this lady to ask him where Kevin lives? You're a cashier at a grocery store, not a special ops military unit leader finding information on a suspected terrorist. Okay, so he's finally done with the interrogation and he has to walk him with groceries in the cold. Not only does the grocery store company hire employees with atrocious customer service skills, but they order their plastic bags from a cheap vendor. Kevin should have made a call to the Better Business Bureau.
Kevin is also a sheltered boy. He gets scared of the furnace in the basement and also has to close his eyes while watching Angels With Filthy Souls and scream for his mother.
Hmmm, you seem to be a Kevin apologist. Had some older siblings didn't you.
Jimmy probably went on to raise a perfect family and get a well paying job.
I despise home alone 2 mainly because the talkboy was one of the single most disappointing gifts I got as a child. frickING RIPOFF
By the way I'm 15 minutes into the film and have 3 and a half pages of material thus far

text: Worked our ob club's rally trial last night and of all the dogs that showed there was only one lab. 59 dogs were entered, and I don't know the breeds of the few no shows as I went off of the dogs actually showing. Only one labrador. For the #1 breed in AKC registration I wonder over all where these labs are. I only say this as I teach the daytime CGC class at our ob club and again where are the labs? I have not had a lab in class in the past 12 months, other than me using one of mine as a demo dog. Just seems strange.

Oberheim OB-X
The first of the OB series Oberheim synths, this is a classic analog synthesizer available in 4, 6 or 8 voice configurations. It featured a 2 pole VCF lowpass filter with its own ADSR, a VCA with ADSR, a flexible LFO section, polyphonic sample and hold, polyphonic portamento and 32 patches of memory. Although it has been over-shadowed by the bigger and more popular OB-Xa and OB-8 synths which offer more flexible programming, the OB-X still holds its own. Capable of lush analog synth sounds comparable to the Sequential Prophet 5 but at a reasonable price. The OB-X also gives you Polymod functionality, something that the OB-Xa and OB-8 do not have.
This synth is definitely worth checking out. It has been used by Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Cirrus, Depeche Mode, Queen, Supertramp, Kenny Kirkland, Jean-Michel Jarre, Japan, Tangerine Dream, Rush, Simple Minds, Chicago, Styx, Ultravox and dozens more!

Great Van Susteran has a very simple idea ...
1) SEAL the border. It IS affordable if we cut out waste in a lot of other places. (How much border security could be purchased for the price of a $60 million African vacation; or $50 million of IRS conference expenditures?)
2) Give all present illegals a "special" green card, but on which will NOT lead to citizenship. They can get citizenship if they get in line for legal immigration (i.e. they must go home first, then get in line). So, they can stay here and work, pay taxes, but no hope of citizenship unless they go home first. This is not amnesty since none of these illegals will get citizenship unless they do it by the legal system already in place. Present over-stayed visas are included here.
3) Over-stayed visas:No need for a lot of "special" stuff, except for the cost of truly sealing the border and issuing the "special" green cards (just change the color?)if after the point of enactment of this law someone comes to the USA on a legal visa and overstays, if that person gets caught (he or she wont have a green card), there will be deportation back to the home country and no USA visas will be granted that person for a period of time (5 years?) There are already in existence laws to punish employers who hire people illegally in this country enforce those laws and perhaps increase the penalty.
This is SO simple, and so much less costly than anything Congress has come up with ... the one sticking point with Congress, of course, is that these 11 million will never be able to vote (unless they go home and enter legally). Greta's answer to that:If Romney only got 30% of the Hispanic vote, is that 30% the legal immigrant citizens & their children? Are the 70% that Obama got the result of "anchor babies" now voting & those who have friends & family here now as illegals? If so, who should we be listening to? We always talk about protecting "the minority" ... in this case the minority is quite possibly being ignored and hammered for being law-abiding. How does that promote the rule of law?The green card solution simple and fair it does not allow someone who has violated our law to jump the line or unjustly annoy those who HAVE followed the legal path to citizenship. The person illegally in our country under my proposal is already getting rewarded with a green card and security from deportation that should be enough. Their children born here will be citizens. The foregoing should be enough for those here illegally and who are good neighbors to each of us and it is generous.

Answers by Expert:
I can answer any general geology question (rocks, minerals, stratigraphy, geomorphology etc.). My expertise is in the geology of the Michigan Basin, PreCambrian, Paleozoic and Recent. I can answer questions concerning mining and petroleum exploration and production and the laws concerning those activities. I can also answer questions concerning stratigraphy of the Michigan Basin. I will also answer questions about mineral and rock collecting in the Basin. I won`t be able to answer many specific questions on hydrology, geophysics or geochemistry. I may be able to answer very general questions in those venues.
I have been working for the State of Michigan for 36 years as a Geologist and a Resource Analyst. I have experience with Subsurface Geology and Petroleum Geology, mining in Michigan, and Sand Dune Mining and Protection issues.

It wasn't pretty, but a big win tonight!
So this win poses an interesting question. Do you impose a bowl ban, banning the team from playing in both the ACC championship, and potentially the Orange Bowl, which obviously would go a long way with the NCAA and our pending sanctions. Or don't you? Miami beating FSU in the ACCCG and making a BCS bowl would be pretty big for this young team, and would do a lot for recruiting. Very interesting question.
Assuming they opt to not self impose anything else, any word/idea on what the NCAA punishment will look like?
I got home and expected the typical Miami let down that seems to come with the VT game and found they were up 20-9. I'm not sure Miami dominated as much as VT just played ****y football but hey man, a wins a win when it comes to VT.
"I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again"

International stock markets ended the week September 27th – October 1st negatively (Milan -1.1%, London -0.1%, Frankfurt -1.4% and Paris -2.4%). Ongoing conflicting macroeconomic data, expected decisions by Ecofin on the debt of non-core countries from the Euro zone and fear on Irish and Portuguese bonds have raise doubts on purchase prices and encouraged profit-taking.
The Oil&Gas sector and the Technology sector have shown good performance of +1.6% and +0.33%, respectively; which are the only sectors that ended positively.
Pirelli showed a positive trend for most part of the week, exceeding the share price of 6 euros (€6.06 reported last September 30), thereby reflecting the increase on US prices (up to 7% on the entire range) and reflecting the positive opinion from stock analysts during the Paris Motor Show on Pirelli's strategic position vs. its peers. However, end-of-the-week profit-taking (-2.6% European Reference Index) lead to drop in Pirelli stock to € 5.96 (-0.4%). Volumes settled at an average of 5 million pieces (higher compared to the last three months).
The Consensus target price for Pirelli settles at €6.35 (a buy recommendation prevails on coverage by analysts: 79%).
Michelin drops in view of the unexpected announcement on the share capital increase of €1.2 billion, ending the week with a 14.8% decline. The stock also suffered downgrades by Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley.
However, the market reacted different to the announcement of Continental (+0.9%) to issue an additional bond of €1.25 billion (in 2 tranches with maturity on 2016 and 2018 and coupons of 6.5% and 7.125%, respectively). Nokian also ended the week positively (+1.3%).
Rebound by Pirelli RE of 1.1% to €0.44.

I missed the game and I'm a little thankful I did. This one is beyond tough to handle.
quote:It is easy, for a basketball fan who desperately wants a team that is competitive to get down. Emotions always run high after a loss, especially after a game we were supposed to win.
Im really starting to get tired of this fanbase and their ridiculous pessimism. shite. /rant
And for those who wanted him to call a timeout at the end of the regulation period, why? Do you not think LSU had practiced that situation 10000 times before? Because they have. No reason to let USC setup a defense. I didn't like the shot, but I didn't mind Jones putting the ball in Hickeys hands to do what he pleased.
and i am not criticizing the coach (i think he is doing a good job and i think he managed the game well). i am merely questioning one play, bc leaving "the ball in Hicky's hands to do what he pleased" led to a JOB 3-point shot... i doubt they practice that. couple that with USC playing a zone (which LSU has yet to figure out in any game) and i think calling a time out to settle the players and draw up a play would have been a good idea.
quote:Some North Texas fans I spoke to said that JJ's teams always got hot at the end of the season and played their best Basketball in the Conference tourney
The loss really puts a damper on LSU's season prospects. With this being one of their easier match-ups, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. LSU had way more mental mistakes in this one than anyone could have expected, and they lost LSU the game.
I think overall, he coached well
. That's the fans' job, be encouraging, cheer for a team, regardless
I'm OK with the deserved criticisms (indeed I'll make them myself) about individual mistakes etc., but I'm sick and tired of "fans" just piling on negativity all the time.
LSU basketball fans must be the worst ever.
The biggest problem, imo with all college fans, is that they start to view the games as some sort of business product.

Missouri 14, Iowa State 0
Posted on 21 Nov 2010 by Allison Weydert.
It was a sour ending for the Cyclone football team this season loosing there last 3 games and falling short of bowl eligibility. After a rocky start in the beginning of the season the Cyclones quickly turn around and made it a heck of a run. The only problem for the Iowa State in this game really was the offense just simply couldn't get on the board and the thing that worked running game going....

Results are out HERE!
This year we have a little more time again, so here's a timeline!
Jan 22 - Feb 4: Contacting judges, getting them together and preparing for the stuff
Feb 5 - Feb 11: Semifinal voting, eliminating videos and adding judge's choices
Feb 12 - Feb 18: Final voting
Feb 19 (or 22) (or later): Announcing the winners
JCAs 2008
JCAs 2009
JCAs 2010
JCAs 2011
More global info:
There are no other prizes other than bragging rights (as far as I know). Well, maybe except a shiny place on JCAs auto-queue and being listed in the JCAs winner list available from the main page for some time ;>
Any and all problems with international drama is up to readers and voters. Do enjoy.
More info about individual stages:
Voting judges:
Any member (yes, any, including me, etc.) has three votes, equal in power, which s/he can write here in this thread or to my PM. Self-nominations are forbidden.
Any member can opt-out of the judging duty now - in that case any votes for him/her are nullified and the members who voted for them can vote for someone else.
NEW: Feel free to spread the word and self-promote if you feel like it. The participation of countries like Russia or France is up to their activity here ;x
Contacting judges:
I will try to contact the six judges. These will not necessarily be the ones with the most votes, but I'll try to listen to the voice of people :> In case any of the contacted judges refuses to judge in this event I'll contact the sixth, seventh, etc. on the list and/or chosen by me.
If I can't get six judges together from the list (improbable, but it can happen) I'll contact some people on my own and ask them if they want to judge.
I'll join the judges as the seventh judge.
Semifinal voting:
Every judge watches the VCAs semifinalists videos and then he or she can pick up to three videos from the semifinalist list in VCAs AND one video that's not in the list. The videos from all the judges make up the final voting list. Judges can pick their own videos if they see it as necessary.
Final voting:
Every judge rates the chosen finalists from 1 to [number of videos in the category], where the 1 stands for the weakest video. The points will be added up and the video with the highest number of points wins the category in these JCAs. Judges are not allowed to vote in the categories that include their own videos or themselves.
Winner announcement:
Will be done in this thread.
The times and rules can change at any time.
Any questions are welcome!
List of our judges:
Nya-chan Production
S.A. Robert
P.S.: Any improvement ideas are welcome ASAP ;>

Do I just cut away some of the material around the armpits until it fits properly and that is all I have to do? Or does there need to be any stitching done after cutting off some of the material?

That is wonderful. Say Happy Birthday to your Mom, Bon. My father almost made it. He passed this last Sep 29 just 41 days before his 100th birthday. Would have liked to see him make it but after his fall breaking 5 ribs and fracturing his hip, he made the decision to let himself go. He lived for just 7 days after his fall. Up to that point, he was still driving, taking Tai Chi classes and living fully independently. He couldn't see losing his independence.
Happy Birthday! My father in law celebrates his 90th on Monday.

Gigapan Comments (4)Toggle Minimize gigapan_comment
This site is not just about the Gigapan system as clearly stated here: share.gigapan.org/about.php and says: The GigaPan website allows hosting and sharing all kinds of panoramas, and so the robotic GigaPan mount is recommended but is certainly not required to be part of this community. As you suggest-"Please check the site before you post". I'm disappointed at your attitude.
No, but this site is about the Gigapan system, so If you don't use that you are not in the game so to say. As well: there is a lack of zooming in, Gigapan does that a lot better. Please check the site before you post. AND: it is a nice picture but again: noting to do with Gigapan
Is there a problem with hand held panoramas.
As I can see on the shadow this is not a Gigapan shot, just a hand held panorama. You can see it by zooming in.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I was told that the reason might be "GUT WORMS". This might be why it's belly was warm to the touch....
|Hmmm... I am no biologist so I can't offer any scientific reasons. I wonder if the exaggerated nitrogen levels in dam releases has something to do with it? Did you notice any air bubbles under the skin on the gill covers?
A sick Rock Bass?
Today was a surprise for me. I was treated to four small-mouth bass and one rock bass on the Mahoning river, Ohio. (USA)
The smallmouths were about 1.5 - 2.5 lbs. each, they were extremely fun on my Orvis One Weight flyrod...
The rock bass has me worried.
It felt HOT to the touch... Well above the smallmouths temperature, above mine too.
The rock bass was caught in the shade at 8:00 am, so there should be no reason for it to be hot....
Is 's not spawning time, nor was the water hot.
Could this be the work of pollution?
The Mahoning river has a CFC warning for it, up to the dam at Newton Falls, Ohio.
I was fishing just below that dam when I caught the "HOT" rock bass...
I seen no signs of ick, and the little guy seemed to fight normally at the end of my line...
I waded over to the rocks were that he was hiding in, they too were cool to the touch, like the four smallmouth bass I released...
So why was this little rock bass hot?
Please share your thoughts.
Thank you:

HFEA to 'Open the Register' for donors, the donor-conceived and for researchers
28 September 2009
Donor conceived people and donors will have new rights to access information about themselves held on the HFEA register from Thursday 1 October.
The new amended Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, the bulk of which comes into effect on 1 October, will open the HFEA's register of data – a comprehensive collection of information about fertility treatments that have been carried out over almost two decades.
Donor conceived children aged sixteen or over will be able to ask for non-identifying information about their donor and, when they are eighteen, register details about themselves on a new sibling contact register.
Donors will also have a right to find out if their donation has been successful; the number of children born as a result of their donation, their sex and year of birth.
HFEA chair Prof Lisa Jardine said:
"This is a real step forward that matters a great deal to those concerned. It is vitally important that donor conceived people can access information about their own, personal genetic origins if they wish to do so. The new Act enshrines their right to this information and the HFEA has put systems in place to ensure that applicants know what information they can obtain and how to go about accessing it."
The new Act also allows HFEA to open its Register to researchers from recognised institutions. They will be able access data about fertility treatments carried out in the UK since 1991.
Patients having treatment on or after 1st October will be asked to consent to this use of their treatment details. People whose treatment took place before 1 October will be able to opt out of having their information included for release. Treatments involving donated sperm or eggs will not be included.
Professor Lisa Jardine, Chair of the HFEA, said:
"The HFEA holds a wealth of information about fertility treatments. This is an invaluable resource and a very exciting opportunity for researchers. Very few research studies into the long term effects of fertility treatment have been carried out and this is an area which cries out for more examination by researchers."
Researchers have already shown an interest in using detailed HFEA data for research. The final details of releasing this information are subject to regulations which are currently being consulted on by the Department of Health. The regulations will go before Parliament early next year.
However, an anonymised register of data will be available for research use later this year.
Notes to editors
- The HFEA has been recording information about in vitro fertilisation (including treatments using donor eggs and sperm) and donor insemination since it was established on 1st August 1991. Clinics must submit information about treatments to the HFEA and they remain responsible for the data they supply.
- Where clinical and social researchers wish to request identifying information from the HFEA Register, they will have to submit a detailed application that will be rigorously reviewed and considered before they are given access to only the specific data that they need.
- People who are treated on or after 1st October will be asked to consent to use of their identifying data for research. Clinics will report a patient's consent or refusal to consent as part of the information they must provide to the HFEA. Those who were treated before that date can contact the HFEA to opt out.
- The HFEA will be publishing an anonymised version of its register later this year, with all patient identifying information (name, address etc) removed. This statistical data will give researchers a fascinating, unique data set that can offer an insight into the progress of fertility treatment over almost two decades.
- The new legislation enables the Authority to establish a Voluntary Sibling Contact Register, to facilitate donor-conceived individuals to make contact with their donor-conceived siblings, from the age of 18, on the basis of mutual consent.
- The HFEA is the independent regulator for IVF treatment and embryo research. Our role is to protect patients and the public interest, to drive improvement in the treatment and research sectors and to provide information to the public and policymakers about treatment and research.
- The HFEA was set up in August 1991 as part of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990. The HFEA's principal tasks are to license and monitor clinics that carry out in vitro fertilisation (IVF), artificial insemination (AI) and human embryo research. The HFEA also regulates the storage of gametes (eggs and sperm) and embryos.

Dog Days Inn
Kath Usitalo, a contributing writer for Michigan Travel Ideas, gives in to her husband's plea and allows Tucker, the family dog, to be part of a mini getaway.
Traveling with a dog is overrated. Don't get me wrong—we love Tucker, but his blend of Australian shepherd and terrier translates into lots of energy. His last road trip (one week with two teenagers) convinced my husband, TJ, and I that Tucker and trips just don't mix.
With the kids in college, however, we decide to give Tucker another try—just a side trip—in what became affectionately known as our Dog Days Inn trip.
On our way home from our cottage in the Upper Peninsula, we detoured to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. After researching the Grand Traverse area, we decide on the Days Inn & Suites. With the 10 percent discount from their ad in Michigan Travel Ideas, we partially recover the $15 fee for Tucker.
We park outside our door, which makes it easy to unload our gear and Tucker. It's a standard room with simple decor. The room includes a mini fridge, microwave and safe (for Tucker's treats?). We drop off our bags and set out to find a dog-friendly eatery.
A restaurant meal with our dog is a first for us, but many Traverse City outdoor cafes welcome pups. We sit under an umbrella at a table on the deck at Folgarelli's, a gourmet market, and tackle fabulous, made-to-order sandwiches. Two of us (sorry, Tucker) share The Mobster, a tower of Italian meat and cheese. It's so filling that we decide we'll have to try the luscious smoked salmon sandwich at lunch the next day. Tucker licks a classic vanilla cone from Dairy Lodge.
Too worried about leaving Tucker alone in the hotel, we skip the indoor pool. Next time, maybe. We like the flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Did I mention the convenient dog run? Before hitting the road the next morning, we take turns walking Tucker and enjoying the complimentary breakfast bar.
To take Tucker's mind off food, we head to Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive to enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes views. Well, TJ and I enjoy the panoramas of water and sand; Tucker barely glances up from the nearest shrub.
After the drive, Tucker gets free samples of WoofWhomper Dog Cookies at Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor. While nibbling on cherry cobbler on the deck, we strike up a conversation with a couple who fall for Tucker. Of course, Tucker gives them the look hoping to score a head rub or more treats. In Traverse City, we can't pass up the all-natural dog snacks from D.O.G. Bakery, a bright inviting shop.
All in all, we had a good weekend. We may give this Dog Days Inn thing another try; the chain has hotels throughout the state.
Kath Usitalo is a freelance magazine writer who is bi-peninsular. She is at home in the Detroit area and at her family's Lake Michigan getaway, Blue Skies, in the UP. She travels and writes about Michigan—usually without her dog—for a variety of outlets, including Michigan Travel Ideas and her Great Lakes Gazette blog.

Chinese journalist Liu Jianfeng crowdsources his funding
Last July, veteran Chinese journalist Liu Jianfeng posted an announcement on the Chinese microblog Weibo, confirming his intention to become an independent investigator and writer. In a country where all media remains state-owned, Liu's plan was a bold one. He promised to produce four to six independent, investigative stories in the coming year, and to fund his costs by crowdsourcing. His financial target was 250,000 yuan (about US$40,000).

The sustainability movement is pushing forward in new directions, with innovative concepts being developed by researchers around the globe. Among them is Michael Cooney, an associate researcher with the Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, who is leading a group of researchers to develop a simple and a relatively cost-effective way to convert solid and liquid waste into energy and useful products, such as soil amendments. Their efforts—literally a million-dollar idea—will help enrich our soils and conserve our natural resources over the next 10 years.
A recent campus-wide $1 million sustainability competition administered by the Office of Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education, won by Cooney and faculty from various departments, will advance a two-fold venture that he hopes will create pathways for local companies through incorporation of UH developed technologies that produce energy and soil enhancers.
The winning two-year project, titled "Water, Energy and Soil Sustainability," will help support research to evaluate the treatment of liquid waste streams through application of high-rate anaerobic digestion and solid waste through the application of flash carbonization. The two processes will also be integrated to produce treated biochar, or agricultural waste turned into a soil enhancer that holds promise to aid soils for growth of energy crops and food crops.
In one component of this project, field soils on Maui are currently supporting high yields from Jatropha curcas, an energy crop that is receiving serious consideration among researchers and farmers in Hawai'i. The fast-growing, drought-resistant, tropical oil-bearing plant is rich in fatty oils that can be converted to biodiesel.
These results are currently being used in greenhouse trials on corn to evaluate how best to apply biochar to less productive soils as a means to duplicate the field trials. Though more assessments are necessary, positive results have been found for soils amended with treated biochar. "Preliminary characterizations of the soil supporting this productivity are suggesting that the attractive yields are due to water and nutrient retention capacity of the soil," said Cooney. "It is our hope we can show that treated biochar added to poor soils can actually support growth leasing to yields that compete with those currently achieved on Maui with the Jatropha crop."
Other projects in the works include making biochar out of dried anaerobic sludge and evaluating its value as an energy source or soil amendment/fertilizer. "If that proves successful, there is the potential to carbonize a solid waste—that is currently sent to landfill—and turn it into a product that produces revenue," said Cooney.
Cooney's project team includes researchers and students from UH Mānoa's Department of Tropical Plant and Soil Science Program, the Shidler College of Business, Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute and the Department of Oceanography. He is also working with Shidler's Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship and E-Business, which is funding business, law and science graduate students to develop business plans evaluating the Jatropha crop growth as a commercial business in Hawai'i.
Green companies in Hawaii have also taken note of Cooney's research and collaborated with him on various projects. "One key output of about our program is an effort to develop research agreements with local companies that permit the evaluation of UH technology around commercial processes that have in place," said Cooney, "with the hope of adding value to their existing production processes through the energy efficient treatment of liquid and solid waste streams, and in a manner that potentially helps them develop new product streams."

Family: Emberizidae, New World Sparrows view all from this family
Description ADULT "Atlantic coast" form has gray-brown plumage overall, with rufous on wings; white throat is bordered by dark malar stripe above, which is pale, and yellow-washed submustachial stripe; note also the yellow line above and in front of eye. "Gulf Coast" form is similar, but with more striking black markings on head and blackish streaks on back and breast. "Cape Sable" (Florida) form has less rufous on wings and cleaner-looking underparts (not visible in this picture): whitish with black streaks. JUVENILE Similar to respective regional adult, but warmer buff overall.
Dimensions Length: 6" (15 cm)
Endangered Status The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow, a subspecies of the Seaside Sparrow, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Florida. Another Florida subspecies, the Dusky Seaside Sparrow, is now extinct. The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow has suffered population losses as a result of damage or destruction of its habitat by fire, changes in vegetation, water management practices, and development. Additionally, hurricanes have devastated this species; Hurricane Andrew of 1992 may have killed more than half the population. The vegetation changes wrought by a hurricane can change the habitat so much that it can no longer support the species.
Habitat Restricted to grassy salt marshes and generally scarce, threatened by loss and degradation of habitat. Present year-round in many parts, but northern breeders move south in winter.
Observation Tips Less tricky to see than other coastal Ammodramus sparrows.
Range Southeast, New England, Florida, Texas, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada
Voice Song is a wheezy t'zup-bree'erzz; call is a soft t'zup.
Discussion Long-billed salt-marsh sparrow with rather dark plumage. Feeds on seeds and salt-marsh invertebrates. Sexes are similar, but three distinct groups are recognized.

There seems to be a problem with the EPSON Perfection 610 scanner. I thought I had it covered, but as it turns out there is a problem with some pixel-shift (?) - the different color channels are shifted up or down a few pixels. I am trying to get access to the actual hardware. So far I've done the USB development without even seeing an USB scanner. EPSON is very helpful and I hope that they will provide me with a test device.
On a different, but related subject I helped somebody to get his Perfection 1200U scanner to work. The whole USB issue is one big mess (at least if one is running a 2.2.x kernel). With Linux distributors shipping versions of the USB driver that are not useable out of the box they are putting the burdon on us software developers. I am not an USB developer, I somehow managed to get my printer and my mouse running on USB, but that's pretty much it. I do however spend quite some time talking scanner owners through all the steps necessary to get USB up and running. Unfortunately every case is different, so it's not even an option for me to write up some documentation.
I guess I've complained enough now. Let me get back to doing some good ol' software development.

Councilmember Clarke Is First To File
January 9, 2014
Councilmember Jim Clarke ended the year by becoming the first candidate for a seat on the City Council to file his official forms with the City Clerk on December 31.
Surrounded by supporters, he went through the many documents with the City Clerk Martin Cole and his assistant Jeremy Green to assure everything was in order. Everyone held their breath when Cole asked Clarke if he was sure he wanted his name on the ballot as a candidate for City Council. A resounding cheer went up when Jim replied affirmatively.
The official filing period ends January 13. Other potential candidates have until that date to submit their papers. Information about the election can be found on the City's website http://www.culvercity.org. The election is April 8 and tabulating of the ballots will take place in City Hall after the polls close at 8 p.m.
Clarke won a seat on the council in 2012 when, for the first time, four out of five seats needed to be filled. Since he was elected to the unexpired term of a councilmember who resigned his position, he is up for election again after only two years.
For more information on the candidate email firstname.lastname@example.com or go to http://www.clarke4council2014.com . Like him on Facebook at Clarke4Council2014, and follow him on Twitter @Clarke4Council.

This glowing sphere represents the sun, which has a diameter of 1.4 × 109 meters. The sun has a special relationship to another object that is only about 1.7 × 10-17 meters in diameter—the subatomic particle called the proton. How is the gigantic sun related to the extremely tiny proton? Read on to find out.
What Is a Proton?
A proton is one of three main particles that make up the atom. The other two particles are the neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67 × 10-27 kilograms. Together with neutrons, they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.
Q: How do you think the sun is related to protons?
A: The sun's tremendous energy is the result of proton interactions. In the sun, as well as in other stars, protons from hydrogen atoms combine, or fuse, to form nuclei of helium atoms. This fusion reaction releases a huge amount of energy and takes place in nature only at the extremely high temperatures of stars such as the sun.
Identical Protons, Different Elements
All protons are identical. For example, hydrogen protons are exactly the same as protons of helium and all other elements, or pure substances. However, atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. In fact, atoms of any given element have a unique number of protons that is different from the numbers of protons of all other elements. For example, a hydrogen atom has just one proton, whereas a helium atom has two protons. The number of protons in an atom determines the electrical charge of the nucleus. The nucleus also contains neutrons, but they are neutral in charge. The one proton in a hydrogen nucleus, for example, gives it a charge of +1, and the two protons in a helium nucleus give it a charge of +2.
What Do Protons Contain?
Protons are made of fundamental particles called quarks and gluons. As you can see in the Figure below, a proton contains three quarks (colored circles) and three streams of gluons (wavy white lines). Two of the quarks are called up quarks (u), and the third quark is called a down quark (d). The gluons carry the strong nuclear force between quarks, binding them together. This force is needed to overcome the electric force of repulsion between positive protons. Although protons were discovered almost 100 years ago, the quarks and gluons inside them were discovered much more recently. Scientists are still learning more about these fundamental particles.
