Animal Species:Eastern Smooth Boxfish, Anoplocapros inermis (Fraser-Brunner, 1935)
The Eastern Smooth Boxfish is commonly seen washed up on beaches in south eastern Australia. The hard 'discus-like' carapace is quite distinctive.
Alternative Name/s
Blue Boxfish, Freckled Boxfish, Golden Boxfish, Polled Boxfish, Robust Box-fish, Robust Boxfish, White-barred Boxfish
The Eastern Smooth Boxfish has a hard carapace that is covered with a pattern of triangles and low bumps. Adults have a strong ridge along the dorsal and ventral midlines. There are weaker ridges passing over the eyes and under the pectoral fins. Juveniles are nearly spherical.
The species has eyes high on the head and its dorsal and anal fins positioned posteriorly and opposite each other.
The colouration of the Eastern Smooth Boxfish changes with growth. Tiny juveniles are completely yellow. As the fish ages it develops brown spots. Large males are blue with golden sides.
Size range
The Eastern Smooth Boxfish grows to 35 cm in length.
The species occurs from southern Queensland to Bass Strait. Eastern Smooth Boxfish are commonly washed up on sandy beaches in south eastern Australia. Beach walkers often see dried fish while walking along the high tide line.

What cities, data and Yahoo have in common: Interaction matters
A recent study from MIT suggests the likelihood of face-to-face interactions within a city means more productivity. It seems to apply equally to companies and even data, which suggests engineers and architects of all types should take notice. Read more »

PULSE Office Move to Stokes Hall
Since close to its founding, the PULSE Program Office has been in McElroy 117. The location was chosen based partially on availability, and partially because of the grass-roots student-driven nature of the program. In the 40+ years since taking up residence in McElroy Hall, the PULSE Program has grown and evolved, but remained true to its founding principles.
Today, the PULSE Program is housed in the Philosophy Department of the College of Arts & Sciences. THIS WEEK our office is moving to Stokes Hall with the Humanities Departments - where it will be, for the first time, located in the same building as its faculty and parent department. On the first floor of the new building, our new office is on the corridor that was designed as a 'walk-through' for students and visitors to campus. It is our hope that the nature of the corridor, and proximity to classrooms will increase our ability to interact with, and to better serve PULSE students, alumni, and faculty.
We are excited for the opportunities that the new space will provide!
Read more about the development of Stokes Hall here.
Launch of revamped PULSE website!
In anticipation for the upcoming move to Stokes Hall, the PULSE Office has considered the ways in which its website can better serve current students, supervisors, interested community partners, alumni, and the Boston College community at large.
We welcome all to explore our site, and to email PULSE with any feedback!

I had never been to Bonefish Grill yet kept hearing about it. Bang Bang Shrimp Bang Bang Shrimp - it's all I heard about! Last weekend - I finally gave in and had to try it! After work - we headed to the one in West Chester in Voice of America...
First up, fresh warm bread with olive oil & pesto. Delish! The olive oil is a little strong...but the pesto was great. The bread was really good! Crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside.
TA-DA! There it is - the Bang Bang Shrimp! It is all it's cracked up to be. It's a mayo-based sauce covering perfectly sauteed shrimp. There's also a nice bed of lettuce underneath so it's a bit salad-like. Hindsight being what it is - I should have just gotten this and soup...I did have leftovers the next day as a cold salad and it was still tasty then. It is spicy - so if you hate spicy - then avoid it. But I would highly recommend it as an appetizer. They also have Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos - which were really cheap (like $8 or something) - that would most likely be what I got next time.
The salmon entree with Lemon Butter was okay...but not as good as the salmon from Red Onion last week. It was a bit greasier and just not as good. The vegetables were pretty good but the lima bean mix - ick - really - who likes lima beans????
I got the shrimp & scallops with the chimichurri sauce. (Side note - with seafood - you pick your seafood - then you pick your sauce. You choose between lemon butter, chimichurri, warm mango salsa and pan asian.) It was okay. The shrimp & scallops were cooked wonderfully. The sauce didn't really have much flavor. I think I'd have much preferred the Bang Bang Tacos...
I didn't finish all the BBS or the entree to save room for dessert because I saw they had Creme Brulee. I love CB! It was a HUGE portion but it has eggs so I had to eat it alone. It was a bit large for just one person but I couldn't let any of it go to waste. It was very good. I think I'm now to the point where I want more flavored creme brulees rather than just vanilla. But it was very very good - especially if you have someone to share with.
Overall - I did like Bonefish. Sort of has the PF Changs feel about it as in it's a "nice" restaurant but is still a chain. I think the Bang Bang is a deal and I'd go back for that if I was with someone else that really enjoyed seafood.
Our check for 2 beers, bang bang and 2 entrees was in the $60 range...

Ski by day and dance by night, too, with the Electric Mountain Festival international DJ event, going on through March.
Tierra del Fuego
Many travelers think of South America as sultry, with images of Rio de Janeiro's carnival and the Amazon burned into the mind. The deepest south in South America is anything but, however. A wild, unspoiled region of ice-covered mountains, glaciers and the frozen tundra of endless Patagonia, which stretches between Chile and Argentina.
One of the most comfortable ways to see this region is through Cruceros Australis, a cruise company operating in Southern Chile's Tierra del Fuego and around Cape Horn and the Straight of Magellan, an area Charles Darwin passed through on his famous Beagle voyage. Passengers explore the scenery and the amazing wildlife, from penguins to sea lions to whales, on at least two mini-expeditions a day in zodiacs, returning to the comfort of the ship to socialize over a glass of Chilean wine or scotch served over 40,000-year-old glacier ice.
Ships sail during South America's warm season, running roughly from the end of September through the end of March.
If you can't get to Chile during the warm season, head there during South America's winter to ski at Portillo in the Chilean Andes, about two hours from Santiago.
Polar bear watching, Churchill, Hudson Bay, Manitoba
Who doesn't love polar bears? Truth is, global warming means within the next few decades the world's polar bear population is expected to rapidly plummet. With an environmentally mindful operator, you can see polar bears live in Churchill, on the Hudson Bay in Manitoba Province, Canada.
"I think people are very aware of the fact that it is a shrinking population," and this is driving increasing numbers of tourists to pay visits to the region, said Katherine Foxcraft, the product manager for Fresh Tracks Canada, a travel company that works with Churchill's polar bear specialists.
The best polar bear viewing is generally in October and November, as Hudson Bay begins to freeze and bears take to the ice for hunting. Some outfitters have vehicles with protected viewing platforms to allow photographers to safely take close shots of bears who might even try to climb aboard.

My Other Hobby....NOT For Liberals......View Messages"Today The Man and I drove down to a private range we have privilges at in WA state. We spent the day training for upcoming classes and just having a good time. I spent about half the day timing Synchro as he went thru different training he needed to check up on. We had the whole range to ourselves most of the day. I love shooting, and I am not shy about that ;-) Good stress reliever ;-) Training Synch is fun....I get to hold the gun timer behind him for hours.....and I get to critique him...bawhahhah!! Anyhoo..me shooting a new toy: It was an intresting day to say the least...as usual we got rained on..but hey it is WA state... Watched my two men - Ford loves his rifle ;-) " "Be able to shoot firearms accurately is the next best thing to firearm ownership. Good for you Sarbar." "I have a couple classes coming up soon at this range, and he has me using a new pistol, so I needed range time pretty badly. Most likely I will be shooting with that one or the Springfield 9mm. The revolver I was shooting was very heavy but had zero kickback. It is our joke that since we are taking classes on the same weekend there...it is our hot anniversary date ;-) yep, we get to spend the night cleaning guns in a no-tell-motel. Now that just says "fun!" ;-)" "I remember when as a kid I worked to get my Basic Rifle Marksmanship certifate (.22, prone) and how proud I was to earn it one summer at camp, going to all the practice sessions I could. I think it's a good skill to have even if one never ends up owning a gun. You learn something, a measure of respect for potentially dangerous devices, something you take with you for the rest of your life." "Holy shlt a child with a gun! Someone call child services! LOL! Looks like great fun!" "with a thread title like that, you deserve any flaming that comes your way...... but seriously, if people are going to have guns, id rather see gun safety and responsibility instilled early" "Around here, many locals, practice with their firearms frequently on their small tracts of land, not necassarily endangering anyone but certainly is a nuisance to the neighbor's. Just across the road, 2 weeks ago, one neighbor complained to another about the party of the second part repeatedly firing an extremely loud muzzle-loader on a Sunday afternoon, so the party of the second part shot the party of the first part. First guy went to a regional trauma center, 2nd guy is being held with a huge bail, quoted as stating, 'How dare anyone question his god gived right to practice?' BTW, I am no liberal, not a conservative either. last edited: 10/17/05 6:44:10 AM" "I am amazed that offended people haven't ranted here yet - the title really is a flame and an invitation to flame. Anyhow - I know quite a few liberals in MA and in NHwho enjoy their guns. Only difference between the conservative and the liberal gun owners in Mass is that the liberals grouse a bit less about the State licensing and registration. Most liberals I know would be not be at all bothered by the content of the thread - unless you were flouting laws, regulations or safety codes. There are gun clubs in Mass that folow Mass laws. last edited: 10/17/05 8:06:26 AM" "Ped, don't give 'em the satisfaction of the reaction and it falls dead, right?" "IMO you guys need to lighten up. The title was obviously meant in a joking way." "Gun Control is being able to hit what you shoot. I need to pop of a few rounds myself." "your thread title cracked me up, Sarb...this week-end, many were discussing firearms around the campfire when the griz said something to me like, "you're a liberal, how can you like guns?" or something to that effect..cracked me up...I told him I liked machines and guns were some of the most beautifully crafted machines in the world...I don't think he agreed with me...LOL...I'm hoping for perfect weather this year for deer season so we get the population down to a managable level...it would be nice to see branches lower than 4 feet sometime in the next decade..." "This thread reminded me of something. ONLY 5 DAYS UNTIL DEER SEASON! WHOO HOO! I can't wait for this weekend." "MHH gets it ;-) She defintely knows my sense of humor ;-) Send some venison jerky my way, ok? :-D As for politics I reside in the limbo land of independent-duh, the title was made so you'd all look :-P" "getting stoned and shooting guns is wicked fun. but it really turns me on so then i have to go have premarital sex with my pitbull on the trail." "I'm so happy I got to meet the one and only mata! Now, if only I could get up to the West Coast." "premarital sex w/your pitbull, LMAO" "That reminds me ... I still have to get to the range to check out my son's .454 Casull and burn off some .45s with my Glock." "Tree- I didn't see this as trolling, but I did see it as a joke built on a negative stereotype. I saw no harm intended, but I did want to chime in to counter the false dichotomy. There are plenty of gun control supporters who own guns and have a heck of a good time with them. Sure there are gun hating liberals, but there are also gun loving liberals. last edited: 10/17/05 9:53:58 AM" "Hey, there's plenty of gun-hating Conservatives out there too, ya know!" "There are plenty of gun control supporters who own guns and have a heck of a good time with them. pedxing 10:52:29 AM that's me to a 'T', though i'm way more of a bow-man nowadays" ":) " "Jr. is aiming at what looks suspiciously like a human sillouette. WTF!" "not just any sillouete- a bret favre sillouete!" "Mebbe it's a silly lib who wants to take our precious away target? ;o)" "you should see the targets you can choose from at this one gun range we've been too...soooo redneck!! i mean they have Osama bin Laden, nuff said. aside from that, you have your "bad guys" (and women), and then just regular-looking people standing there...very realistic. ick!" "did the range membership include one of those terrorist hunting permit window stickers i see everywere?" "�Jr. is aiming at what looks suspiciously like a human sillouette. WTF!� Limpy 12:48:49 PM Well, Duh. How else is he gonna learn to shoot the looters and rapists that break into his home? LOL" "if so, i would've projectile vomited on them, sacco! LOL." recognizing that your thread title "was in jest . . . I am probably considered a liberal by folks here. I love guns. My only problem with guns in the USA is the NRA. I can't understand for the life of me why any reasonable, reasonably well educated citizen has a problem with registration, wait periods and background checks. There not one arguement put forth by the "conservative" supporters of the NRAs rabid frothing at the mouth stance that makes a pisshole in the snow bit of sense." "I have two reasons for disliking waiting periods: 1) I have to wait two days to pick up my brand-new pistol when I buy it. If I was going to go on a rampage and kill a bunch of people, I sure wouldn't go buy a new gun just to do it, I'd use one of the ones I already own. 2) They don't apply to long guns, at least in my state. So, if I didn't own a gun and I wanted to kill a bunch of people, all I have to do is buy a shotgun instead of a pistol, and I can start to kill immediately. That said, a waiting period for first-time buyers is okay by me. But I feel like I should be able to show my pistol permit (meaning I already have one) and be able to take my new pistol home so I can caress it all night, immediately. last edited: 10/17/05 1:15:15 PM" "Why does the government need to know who has guns and who doesn't? Well in pre www2 the government of Germany knew who had guns and who didn't and they had a very good reason (to them at least) for knowing. So why does the United States of America need to know that I have a gun? Is it because in case of civil unrest the police will ask you to (with your legal fire arm) to patrol the streets with it to control crime? I don't think so. So Lee and all the other well meaning people who can't see the big picture wake up.

How to Vacation in Architectural BlissTo vacation in architectural bliss, just select a destination with an adequate number of significant edifices. Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville doesn't count, nor do après ski raised hearths around a cozy fire at the mid-market hotels in Beaver Creek. Any housing development, high rise condo building or shopping enclave built with fake stucco is beneath the pale, architecturally, although pink or salmon colored real stucco in vintage Miami ocean side structures may or may not qualify.vintage Miami Art Deco, YES! plastic, pink flamingos, NO! Residential neighborhoods with extensive yard art, while not necessarily up to the standard of actual sculpture, may warrant a driving tour, if you have time. I once found a series of homes with odd but smile inducing objects, including a pair of six foot tall bowling pins, several old footed bathtubs turned on end to create niches in which brightly painted Madonna's were displayed, and a tree hung with large globular objects spray painted to resemble oranges and lemons on steroids. Recently, in Ketchum, Idaho I found a house whose side and fence were completely sheathed in skis. Such kitchy oddities can rise to the level of folk art…. or not… but are wonderful as a surprising collection of happy discoveries – awkward and unintentionally funny but still sort of dear when you consider the intent of the creators. Like tramp art, pieced together by itinerant hobos, the homeless of a bygone era, it is ever apparent that the full spectrum of humanity bubbles up with creative impulses. Beauty – such a primal, inexplicable imperative of everyone from cavemen to countesses. And so, after that little detour, back to architectural bliss, more often associated with countesses than us regular folks. Those aristocrats! They did build some spectacular houses – from the chateaux of southern France to the winding lanes of the Cotswolds to the villas dotting all Italy – whew! Many just drip with history and art and classical details all patinated with the warm sun and hundreds of years. But hey, anyone with a little cash and some persistence can find a great guide – both scholar and raconteur – who can lead them to the stellar examples of architectural history. And that is a very good way to tour. But there are smaller moments, like finding the bowling pins on a back street in a small Michigan town, that are delightful partly because they are so completely surprising. I would say they are out of context, but part of the story is wondering why someone would have such an outlandish thing. What does it mean? A national champion bowler lives there? Or a sentimental carpenter whose parents met in a bowling alley? What are the back stories of these oddly amusing objects? Really, there are quirky things in the most august places. What English Duke was it who held open houses in his great home only to display his pornography collections? And there was that house in Los Angeles owned by some Middle Eastern potentate who painted pubic hair on each piece of his extensive collection of Greek and Roman garden statuary. These things actually happened. So, I think a nice antidote from scholarly architectural touring can be something more whimsical or at least smaller in scale. Have a break from cathedrals in their immensity and focus on the different ways stars are painted on ceilings: from early Sta. Maria in Cosmedin in Rome to Henry VIII's chapel at Hampton Court Palace to the Lyndhurst in estate the Hudson River Valley.
(this one just happens to be in Barcelona, where we are today!) Having a theme for your architectural rambles adds a focus to your explorations, much like collecting gives purpose to your early Friday morning yard sale adventures. It can be very enjoyable to go on an architectural/photographic safari in search of the most picturesque doorways or best examples of Venetian or Roman mosaics or even collect small rocks from the grounds of famous estates – duly noting on each the date and location found. Of course, removing pieces of the actual structure is not recommended. The docents go crazy if you even get close to the building with a chisel. (This last idea, collecting rocks wherever you go, can get out of hand if you travel much. If the samples are too large you end up, Lucille Ball-like, with a heavy load of rocks à la The Long Trailer.) If you travel a lot, even small chunks could overtake you the way corks seem to multiply when you save them – and what do we do with all those old corks!?! My husband saved a pebble from the grounds at Villa Rotunda in Vicenza, the Palladian masterpiece we visited on our honeymoon. That rock means a lot to me! Palladio's spectacular Villa Rotunda Cole sketching on the steps of Villa Rotunda. There are other travel related collections. I know more than one person who collects sand. He has jars and jars of different colored sand – samples from countless beaches he has known. But that is a poor substitute for having focused on architecture, in my mind. After all, scooping up a few ounces of silicate while lazing on a chaise, sipping a Mai Tai and reading a juicy novel lacks the honest rigor of doggedly plotting your trail, squinting for long periods into the sun at steeple tops, studying the tiny print in blue guide books, getting blisters on your blisters after miles of traipsing up one ruin and down the next catacomb. On second thought, bring me a Margarita! CommentsOctober 18, 2010 - 11:12 AM Nicole This is such a lovely, well-written piece. Thank you for sharing.

The 23rd Royal Welch Fusiliers!
The 23rd recruit from across the world - all that is required is that you are able to understand English well and are able to use Teamspeak 3. I've based this regiment on the philosophy "Have a laugh but get the job done." This means:
1. This is a game, the whole point of it is to have fun. Just know where the line is and don't take stuff over the top.
2. I expect and encourage banter between our soldiers, but once again - know the line and don't cross it. Keep it within the regiment, as other people may take it the wrong way.
3. Unless you tell me or another officer otherwise, I expect you to turn up to trainings and Line Battles. I don't mind if you simply don't want to play tonight or you're playing another game, just let me know so that I have a rough idea of what numbers I'll have. Like I said in rule 1 - this is a game and we're all here to have fun. I'm not going to force people to play.
4. Finally, I do expect applicants to have some level of maturity. I don't mind what your age is, as long as you are aware that one of my pet hates is immature people who always take the joke too far or constantly ignore orders.
I would like to think that I'm an easy going person, and as long as you don't intentionally disobey orders or act like a tool, then I'll stay that way. I enjoy this game and I especially enjoy fighting in Line Battles, and I'm looking for people who enjoy that or want to start enjoying that.

By Kate Gibson, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks fell Friday after crude-oil prices surged above $112 a barrel and as budget talks to avoid a government shutdown faced a midnight deadline.
Oil surges; gold, silver hit highs
The price of oil shows no sign of letting up. Also, how will a potential government shutdown affect the strength of the U.S. dollar?
Budget negotiations on Capitol Hill weighed on Wall Street, with the political parties still at odds over spending just hours from what could be the first U.S. government closure in 15 years. Read full story about a looming government shutdown.
"Nobody expects this to last a long time, but the divide between Republicans and Democrats is extremely large, especially if you include the Tea Party," analyst Hugh Johnson said of the partisan battle.
Caution on Friday was partially attributable to the coming earnings season.
"Part of the story is everybody's waiting in great anticipation of the earnings season, which effectively starts Monday and gets on a real roll a week from Monday," said Johnson, chairman of Hugh Johnson Advisors.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA -0.52% fell 29.44 points, or 0.24%, to 12,380.05. But the loss wasn't enough to tip the index lower for the week. It pushed out a tiny gain of 0.03%.
Off 0.3% for the week, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index /quotes/zigman/3870025 SPX -0.83% closed 5.34 points, or 0.4%, lower at 1,328.17, with financials the greatest laggard and energy up the most among the benchmark's 10 industry groups.
The Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP -1.11% fell 15.72 points, or 0.56%, to 2,780.42, down 0.3% from last Friday's finish.
For every stock rising, more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where more than 800 million shares traded by 4 p.m. Eastern.
Week ahead
Corporate results should help investors gauge the overall earnings impact of events in the Middle East, North Africa and Japan.
"We've already received hints that earnings will be impacted, energy companies will benefit and airlines will be penalized by the rise in oil prices," Johnson said.
On Friday, crude-oil futures for May delivery rose $2.49 to finish at $112.79 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Read more about crude oil.
Higher fuel prices constitute an energy tax on consumers and corporations, with the price tag not insignificant, said Johnson, who calculates oil's spike from $83 to $108 a barrel would cost an added $152.2 billion over a year's time.
Johnson came to the figure by multiplying the price rise by the 18.8 million in barrels consumed by the U.S. each day, times the number of days in the year to reach his estimate.
Among stocks on the move, Expedia Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/7619798/quotes/nls/expe EXPE -0.57% shares rose 13% a day after the online travel company said it would split into two companies. Read more about Expedia.
On Friday, the Justice Department approved search giant Google Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/93888/quotes/nls/goog GOOG -1.94% purchase of ticketing-software firm ITA Software as long as ITA's products remained available to Google's competitors.
Expedia and Microsoft Corp. /quotes/zigman/20493/quotes/nls/msft MSFT -0.69% were among the companies that objected to Google's planned $700 million acquisition of ITA.

About the V700 Victoracer
The V700's asymmetrical pattern maximizes outside shoulder grip while promoting longer tread life. The race proven construction leads to outstanding steering response and maximizes dry traction for improved cornering and braking.
Heat Cycling
Competition tires are built with a highly sophisticated tread compound. This compound is capable of sustaining traction throughout a much wider temperature range, but is also extremely sensitive to the first heat cycle of its use. During this cycle the tread compound stretches as it heats.
The Discount Tire heat cycling system ensures consistent results by maintaining key conditions during the heat cycle process. The system generates uniform heating and progressive temperature build up throughout the tread. The benefit of this process is a tread compound that lasts longer and provides better traction. All competition tire manufacturers recommend a heat cycling service. Have your competition tires heat cycled today and be race ready!
Heat Cycling is available for $15 per tire.
Tires are one of the most important components on any vehicle. They can transform a ride from soft to harsh, improve handling, make your truck off-road competent, or even affect gas mileage. There are numerous different tire types developed for the different styles of driving that people have adopted. The major categories include off road tires or mud &snow tires, all-season tires and high performance tires. There are also tire options that blend the line between these categories. All-season tires are the most prevalent and are designed to work in the biggest array of conditions from dry roads to wet roads to the occasional ice and snow. These are the tires that most commonly come on passenger vehicles and light trucks/SUVs; they usually have the highest tread wear rating so they last the longest and are the most affordable of the groups. Off road tires are designed for more extreme conditions such as loose dirt, mud or deep snow. These are often used by 4x4 enthusiasts and they sometimes require a lift in order to clear the larger more aggressive tread designs. These tires tend to be noisy on the street, and wear out quicker than standard tires, but they really shine when the terrain gets rough. High performance tires are designed to maximize traction and handling for sports cars or performance oriented machines. These tires are rated for higher speed and increased grip but also wear out quicker due to softer compounds, and tend to be worse in the wet than all-season tires. You should choose your tire type based on how you use your vehicle the majority of the time. If you like performance driving you will want a performance tire, but if you commute 90% of the time, a good all-season will be probably be the best choice.;;;;Tires come in a host of different sizes, and the sizing is usually stamped right on the sidewall of the tire. Some off road tires use a format that lists the tire diameter, the tire width and the wheel diameter. For example a 31x10.50x15 would mean the tire is 31" tall, 10.50" wide and fits a 15" tall wheel. More commonly though, tires rely on metric measurements using width, aspect ratio and wheel diameter. A 205/65/14 means that the tire is 205 mm wide, that the distance of the sidewall from the rim lip to the tread face (the aspect ratio) is 65% of the tread width (65% of 205 mm), and it should be mounted on a 14" rim.;;;;In general when choosing a tire it is best to replace your tires with the size that was originally fitted to the vehicle. However, it is often popular to increase tire size in order to gain some added performance be it on or off road. In this case it is crucial to do your homework because a tire that is too tall or too wide will rub and damage the body work as well as hurting the tire itself. If you are planning to run larger wheels it is common to run lower profile tires (smaller sidewall) in order to prevent rubbing and to keep the final drive close to stock and the speedometer calibration the same. Many vehicle manufacturers will list tire sizes that fit your vehicle in the owner's manual or on their websites. When in doubt it is best to contact the manufacturer directly to find out if a specific tire size will work with your vehicle.

Viktor Schauberger (30 June 1885 – 25 September 1958) was an Austrian forester /forest warden, naturalist , philosopher , inventor and Biomimicry experimenter. The inventor of what he called " implosion technology", Schauberger developed his own theories based on fluidic vortices and movement in nature. He built actuators for airplanes, ships, silent turbines, [ 1 ] self-cleaning pipes and equipment for cleaning and so-called "refinement" of water to create spring water, [ 2 ] which he used as a remedy.

Zero point energy In recent years Harold Puthoff been popularising the zero point energy from the vacuum from his discoveries of quantum science. Although seemingly and revolutionary to modern science, this zero point energy has been discovered many times before and has been given many names such as Orgone energy (Wilhelm Reich) and Tachyon energy. This energy has been known to mankind since time memorial, the ancients called it 'Chi' (Chinese), 'Ki' (Japanese) or Prana (Indian). Modern day science is just catching up with ancient wisdom and rediscovering it as zero point energy. Let's call it the energy of life, as Wilhelm Reich discovered it, it's the energy that animates and gives life to every living specie on earth, whether it be plant, animal or human.

Water Ways of Life Viktor Schauberger Due to the number of unsung geniuses seeking to innovate our lives and the life or our planet, we have continued the creative genius section of the LightNet News to shed light on the possibilities we have open to us if we only knew of the knowledge and achievements available to us. In this edition we are looking at the life and work of Viktor Schauberger, a well read but formally uneducated man who lived the greater proportion of his life observing and learning from nature. His insights and applications are so beautiful in their simplicity and in their application so harmonious with nature that his work and ideas deserve far greater recognition.

Luis von Ahn , the crowdsourcing pioneer who developed reCAPTCHA, has come up with the perfect crowdsourcing project. His new company, Duolingo , teaches people how to speak languages by reading, writing, speaking and listening to translations of Web content. The byproduct of that activity, if all goes well, will be a fast and accurate human-powered translation engine. By contrast, reCAPTCHA digitizes books word by word when Web users are asked to prove they are humans and not bots. Participants get value out of unlocking Web sites, but they're not learning anything useful besides how to squint at squiggly letters really hard. ReCAPTCHA has been incredibly successful; it was bought by Google and now digitizes 100 million words per day, and more than one billion people have used it.

History of the world twenty years from now, and they come to the chapter "Y2K to March 2004," what will they say was the most crucial development? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations, giving them a huge new stake in the success of globalization?

Je lis le texte que m'a envoyé l'un de vous et c'est aussi beau que d'habitude mais je ne me résous pas à le mettre en ligne : il y a là trop d'amertume, trop de regrets sur ce qui a presque toujours mal tourné et je me dis que nous avons aujourd'hui autre chose à faire – le temps est trop compté – que réfléchir une fois de plus à notre engeance, parce que ce qu'elle est, nous, et nos prédécesseurs, depuis trois mille trois cents ans, en fait, nous l'avons bien compris. Ce qu'il nous faut maintenant, c'est de l'audace et du coeur à l'ouvrage, car il ne reste à l'espèce dans sa besace, qu'une seule cartouche. Ce qu'il nous faut, c'est découvrir le nom de la masse noire qui a envahi peu à peu le centre et qui l'occupe maintenant : invisible mais nous empêchant désormais d'avancer. Nos pas y resteront englués tant que nous ne pourrons pas nommer cette matière qui a usurpé l'endroit où nous étions avant. L'actualité de demain : LE CADRE SE RÉTRÉCIT , par François LeclercDale Breckenridge Carnegie (originally Carnagey until 1922 and possibly somewhat later) (November 24, 1888 – November 1, 1955) was an American writer, lecturer , and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement , salesmanship, corporate training , public speaking, and interpersonal skills. Born into poverty on a farm in Missouri , he was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), a massive bestseller that remains popular today. He also wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948), Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other peoples' behavior by changing one's behavior toward them.

Prognostic Value of Immunohistochemically Identifiable Tumor Cells in Lymph Nodes of Patients with Completely Resected Esophageal Cancer |
Izbicki JR, Hosch SB, Pichlmeier U, Rehders A, Busch C, Niendorf A, Passlick B, Broelsch CE, Pantel K |
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania |
Last Modified: November 1, 2001 |
Reviewers: Kenneth Blank, M.D. and Leonard Farber, M.D. Seventeen percent of the 399 lymph nodes which were 'tumor-free' on routine analysis stained positive with the antibody. 15 of the 30 patients who were staged N0 by the usual pathologic methods had positive nodes (N1). The presence of cancer in the lymph nodes found by IHC was predictive of significantly reduced overall survival. Importantly, all patients whose lymph nodes were negative by routine and IHC study were living at last follow-up without evidence of recurrence. The authors conclude that IHC examination of lymph nodes may improve the pathologic staging of esophageal cancer. |

Esri rolls out ArcGIS map services for the cloud
Enterprise subscriptions bring enterprise mapping and map services to the cloud, as well as an open API and integration with Excel and Salesforce
Computerworld - Esri today rolled out an ambitious cloud offering for government and enterprise customers that allows users to create data-driven maps and map services without ArcGIS servers or desktop software.
ArcGIS Online organizational subscriptions, in beta since December, also provide:
- Tools for application development using geospatial data;
- An open API for integration with software such as Microsoft Office, Salesforce and Cognos;
- Mapping of data within Excel as long as that data has a street address or city name (geocoding will be automatic);
- Cataloging of GIS assets, making such data easier to find (and less likely to be duplicated by others in an organization who don't know it's there);
- Private sharing among internal groups;
- Maps that display across numerous mobile devices as well as in Web browsers;
- And hosting on either public or private cloud infrastructure.
"One way to describe it -- and here's a big sentence -- is that ArcGIS Online is a mapping platform, a new geospatial enterprise platform but especially focusing in on mapping," said Esri founder and President Jack Dangermond in a phone interview with Computerworld (see related story). "It has other services in there, like geocoding services across the enterprise or spatial analysis services that can be deployed across the enterprise, but the basic thing that most people recognize it for is that it has really cool maps.
"Think Google Maps, but with authoritative source information behind it or one's own enterprise information shared in a cloud exclusively within the enterprise or deployed in the cloud, behind a firewall or not," Dangermond said.
The creation of map services, he added, builds on the open data movement by making it easier to deploy information in a way that's more easily used and understood by non-GIS specialists -- without the need for a dedicated GIS server.
"This platform allows people without a server to be able to take their data, send it over to ArcGIS Online [and] turn it immediately into a map service which is accessible by browsers and by mobile devices," he said. "In the past, people could do that sort of thing with our server technology. But it meant that they had to buy a server, they had to stand up a server, they had to do system administration on the server, they had to build the application that would make this map come alive.
"With the ArcGIS Online environment, I can take a beautiful map that I built on the desktop, right click, send it over to online and it turns it into a service and an application that's immediately available."
One beta tester, Sussex County in New Jersey, used ArcGIS Online to develop applications for residents to find information about current road and bridge closings, trash pickup times and government services locators for things such as nearest library and post office. These use ArcGIS Online templates and "highly customized canned applications" to create things that would have been difficult for the county's three-person GIS team to create from scratch, according to David N. Kunz, county GIS manager.
"It has really jumpstarted or accelerated [achieving] the goals that we've had," Kunz said. "It's quicker and faster and cheaper."
The county also worked with two dozen municipalities to more easily update an address database for 911 dispatchers. In the past, he said, towns would compile spreadsheets of address information and then send them along to be re-entered in proper GIS format. Instead, the county was able to create a Web application, put it in a private group and let municipal workers add address points themselves. That information then gets properly inserted into a county database, instead of county workers having to re-enter the data.

So I'm still on a mission to find some perennials for my yard (and my friend's, now) so we went over to her friend's house since he has a massive house with a huge yard that hasn't seen a spade, lawnmower, or garden tool of any kind for many many moons now. . .I told him we were going to hunt for some perennials for me to take home. My friend grabbed her kids, and I grabbed the tools and off we went on our plant finding mission.
I had never really walked the yard there (it's too overgrown and we always stayed in the house), so it was really kind of interesting to be in the yard during daylight hours. I found a few irises, a couple of rose bushes and some primroses on our first run through (and those were just in the front bed by his walkway). I really wish I had my camera that day. . .
So my friend supervised the kids as they raked the leaves in the yard and I went to town on digging out the garden bed in the front. It looks to be about 3' deep and around 15-20' long. My goal was to dig up that whole bed and redistribute the plants in that bed and take whatever is left over. I was a little too ambitious. I got about 8' into the bed, but while I was digging, I found an irrigation system (I almost wonder if we're going to find a dead gardener in our attempt to clear his yard). I think if we replace a couple of the pipes, the system could be used, which would be awesome so all our hardwork doesn't wither away and die. . .we'll see though.
The kids had a great time raking all the leaves, too (weird, huh?). They got to have a little outside science lesson and went on missions for "new" plant and "bug" species (and actually found a cute little seedling that kind of resembles Seymour's plant from the Little Shop of Horrors), and even found a frog! And the 2 year old wanted to help me plant flowers. I'm gonna make them all gardeners if it's the last thing I do!
As we were all out in the yard working (which apparently is not something that happens often there), this charming older (than me) lady pulled her car into the drive. . .I thought it was weird since neither my friend or I recognized the vehicle and come to find out, she used to live in the hosue we were working on in the 80's and SHE is the one who planted all the cool plants that I was on the mission for in the first place! So she walked me around the yard, pointing out the locations of all the plants she planted and I'm super excited to go back! There's a pretty little Lilac tree back there, a few Silver Dollar plants, some more bulbs that I like, a tea rose bush (that I still need to find) a Dogwood (that may be a little too big for me to take home), and some pretty little perennial flowers she described.
We uncovered some stone in front of his porch, and I suspect that it goes out to his driveway in between these huge flowering bushes. . .we'll totally see next time I go over and take care of some yardwork (after the snow stops). . .I can't wait to see what else is there! And I'll definitely be bringing my camera (who knows what else we'll find?). . .

Assesses how an MTOW constraint, which would lead to a lower nominal payload-range capability for affected aircraft, would influence the economic value of several representative aircraft types.
Overview of the climate challenge for aviation, introduction to concepts and policy developments, summary of key design criteria.
Case study demonstrates how metrics that include vehicle and/or fuel weight could relax incentives for manufacturers to devote technological improvements to reducing fuel consumption rather than boosting performance.
Surveys the range of test cycles used to evaluate the efficiency of vehicles—including passenger cars and trucks, motorcycles, heavy-duty trucks and buses, and marine vessels—in order to inform ICAO discussion of a CO2 certification procedure.
Discusses initial ICCT work on sales‐weighted historical trends in new aircraft design attributes and their influence on aircraft efficiency, using design range as a first area of inquiry.
Estimates the sales and activity-weighted efficiency of new jet aircraft from 1960 to 2008 to argue that fuel price has been an inconsistent driver of aircraft efficiency, and that an aircraft CO2 standard is most likely to reduce emissions if it applies to all newly built aircraft from current production lines, not just to new designs.
Identifies at least two carbon intensity metrics (g CO2/ATK for dedicated cargo planes and g CO2/ASK for dedicated passenger aircraft) suitable for use in establishing a CO2 standard for new commercial aircraft.

Advent. Apax. BC Partners. Cinven. CVC. Permira. Europe's remaining homegrown big guns. Three years ago, it appeared they were destined for annihilation, or so doomsayers – and mid-market GPs – would have had us believe. But despite the demise of Candover in the immediate aftermath of the crisis – and serious strain at some of the firms that loitered on the periphery of the big boys' playground, among them Terra Firma and Lion Capital – the systematic dismantling of the mega market that many predicted has notably failed to materialise.
Indeed, in many respects, these behemoths of buyouts have proved themselves spectacularly adept at adaptation. There have been failures, certainly. Gala Coral, Seat Pagine Gialle, Borsodchem. But far from pre-packed i-banking mandates and labyrinthine leverage structures eroding basic investment skills, these firms have, more often than not, demonstrated the depth of experience and dexterity that enabled them to get to the top of their game in the first place.
New deal activity has slowed, naturally, and deals are somewhat smaller, but investment hasn't fallen off a cliff. Cinven has completed no less than four transactions in the past year. Permira has managed six.
And while debt constraints have clearly had an impact, mega buyout firms have been able to rustle up financing packages, in some instances, of close to half a billion.
Finding exits for these giant assets hasn't been easy and a number of processes have fallen over – think New Look, Evonik and Birds Eye Iglo. But American import KKR certainly demonstrated creativity and flair when it got away – in part, at least – the biggest of them all in Boots.
Yes, they may have recklessly rode the debt wave that ultimately crushed the global economy. Yes, a handful of them – maybe more – are arrogant egotists. But most are also pretty damn good at what they do.
In hindsight, then, the heralding of a mega market apocalypse appears to have been a little premature. Or was it?
The problem, of course, is fundraising. LPs haven't abandoned the mega model in their droves by any means. Returns will be down, certainly, in all probability some way down. But investors are realists and their options are slim.
Private equity remains attractive, in relative terms, and the length of track record and depth of resource that characterise big buyout firms have lasting appeal.
There is no doubt, however, that the sum total of money entering the asset class is diminished. Ticket sizes are smaller and, crucially, institutions are paring back their relationships. At the same time, economics, and in no small part ego, mean mega buyout houses are unwilling to pare back their ambitions.
These firms may be doing a pretty good job given the circumstances, but there just isn't enough capital to keep them all in the style to which they have become accustomed. And I predict that at least one, and possibly more, of the surviving six will fall.
With €6.5bn in the coffers, BC Partners seems safe, for now at least, although the long-term implications of the deals struck with LPs remain to be seen. Few doubt, meanwhile, that private equity darling Advent will fail to pull through.
Cinven's €5bn climb is taking its time, but then this firm's steady-Eddie approach is its calling card. The altogether more aggressive CVC has big ambitions, with an €11bn target, as well as long-term succession issues to resolve, but with Advent, BC and Cinven out of the way, the firm should soak up much of the remainder.
Which leaves Apax and Permira. Apax is roughly halfway through its €9bn ascent, thanks in part to a sovereign wealth fund injection. But operating performance has been patchy and personnel change significant. Permira, meanwhile, has picked itself up and dusted itself off after a fairly disastrous start to the downturn. But despite this admirable turnaround, LPs so far seem unimpressed.
Europe's mega buyout houses are its oldest and most venerable private equity institutions, but longevity does not guarantee you survival. The sword of Damocles hangs by a thread. Who knows when it will fall.
