NEW YORK West Coast export prices for containerized ferrous scrap are coming under pressure after a modest price increase by exporters saw volumes drop this past week, sources told AMM. Steady demand from Taiwan and small pockets of demand from South Korea and Vietnam encouraged exporters to increase prices for an 80/20 mix of No. 1 and No. 2 heavy melt to a range of $345 to $355 per tonne c.f.r. over the past 10 days, with some sales and buyer bids reported at $360 per tonne c.f.r. Taiwan, according to several sources. Thats up from the prior range of $340 to $350 per tonne c.f.r. (amm.com, Sept. 18).....

Route 1 is used because Pidgey and Rattata have the same encounter rate, which makes the work a lot easier. Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 2 votes Best answer http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tall_grass This link is more of a help. the formula should be: 1 in (187.5 / ( x )) per step Let x equal the a value which determines how rare the Pokémon is. The higher the encounter rate, the more common the Pokémon is. There is about a 4.5% probability of there being a Pidgey and about a 4.5% probability of there being a Rattata. This means about a 91% probability of there being no wild Pokemon. answered Oct 3, 2013 by Cosmic_Aegislasher edited Oct 3, 2013 by trachy Your probabilities are incorrect, but thankfully you gave me the link I needed to find this out for myself. The answer btw is that there is about a 4.5% probability of there being a Pidgey and about a 4.5% probability of there being a Rattata. This means about a 91% probability of there being no wild Pokemon. I'm assuming what you did was use the encounter rate of 8.5 subbing it in, making it a 1 in 22 ish chance which is more or less 4.5?

Organize + Energize: Get It Together In 2014
Tuesday, December 31, 2013
Do you want to save money, have more free time, less stress, more energy, and run an efficient and productive home or business? You can have all of this in 2014, just by getting organized. You really can!
Why get organized?
Think about your home or office. How much money have you wasted this past year due to your disorganization? You probably have checks, cash, and maybe gift cards hiding in those piles! That's motivation alone to get organized. How much time did you waste searching for items? Add up all the time you wasted searching for items over the past year and it just may have added up to an extra day you could have been on the course playing golf or soaking up the sun on the beach. At any point throughout the year, did you find yourself getting anxious or stressed due to your disorganization? Sounds silly, right? We have many more important things to stress about.
If you have an entire home or office that needs an organizing overhaul, don't get overwhelmed. If you look at the entire project on a whole, you will get stressed and frustrated and nothing will get accomplished. You will have the attitude that it's just easier to continue to throw onto the piles because it's easier than figuring out how to tackle the project.
Getting started
Getting organized is a process. Don't feel you need to tackle every project at once. Break up projects into small tasks. Have a plan and follow through with the plan until it is completed. Spread your projects out over the year and by the end of 2014, you will have become organized!
The key to maintaining your organization is having systems in place. The systems have to work for you. You have heard me say this numerous times—the simpler the system, the easier it will be to follow and maintain. The systems you develop will create habits and those habits will form routines and from there, they just become a way of life without even thinking about it. Also, don't forget to limit your distractions and stay focused during the process.
You can do this! It's not as difficult as you may think. Think about the benefits. You will have more free time, you will save money, have less stress, more energy, and be more efficient and productive and people/clients will have more confidence in you.
Organizing In RI will be giving presentations throughout RI in the month of January. Do you need a little push in the right direction? Do you need motivation to get you energized to complete your project? Drop in to one of these presentations. They are free and you can find out more by heading over to my website.
Happy New Year!

Bangkok, Thailand | 25-29 July 2011
The worst effects of the global economic crisis are deemed to be contained, though the range of extraordinary measures required to accomplish that feat mainly through economic stimulus spending have also transformed the domestic business environments for many of the affected Asia-Pacific economies, leaving them with the need to inject new trade and investment opportunities to be the catalysts for growth and development.
The theme of the Fair is thus Facing Challenge, Capturing Opportunities.
This Fair, which will be held bi-annually, essentially intends to maximize information sharing on national trade and investment opportunities, policies, projects and programmes, as well as to facilitate networking of national trade and investment promotion agencies with their stakeholders in the region. It will also serve as a platform for industry networking, information exchange and commercial matching opportunities to the business sectors.
Deadline for expressing of interest to participate is 30 June 2011.
Please be informed that there is no registration fee imposed by the UN ESCAP for the exhibitors and the general participants to the Fair.
For ESCAP Exhibition Guidance in PDF format, please download.
Another interesting activity to be held at the 2nd Trade and Investment Week is the Asia-Pacific Business Forum.
Parking is available at Wat Mongkot next to the UN Building.

Texans Help Arkansas State to Title in Texas |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens | ||
While the local Texas teams (A&M and Texas on the men's side and Texas, Sam Houston and Texas Tech on the women's) were eliminated from National Title contention prior to the final, Arkansas State's team did boast some Texas flavor, with tournament MVP Zac Mizell, scrumhalf Dylan Carrion and standout Zinzan Elan-Puttick all coming from the Lone Star State. "It was great playing in front of all the home crowd, family and friends," Carrion said. Mizell and Carrion are from the greater Dallas area. Carrion played for Plano and Alliance in high school, and Mizell for Alliance. Both went on to play for the Dallas Harlequins Super League and 7s sides before Arkansas State. Elan-Puttick has a starkly different story. He moved to Dalhart, Texas (outside of Amarillo) from South Africa at the age of 16 and picked up gridiron football. He was recruited to West Texas A&M, where he red shirted his freshman year before deciding to go back to the sport of rugby, which he'd played growing up across the pond. Coincidentally, he went to school with recent ASU alums Nardus Wessels and Danie Swanepoel in South Africa, and they helped funnel him to Arkansas State. The three Texans combined for 13 of Arkansas State's 28 tries on the weekend and well over half the Red Wolves' points. And while Mizell was named tournament MVP by USA Rugby, Elan-Puttick had a fantastic weekend in his own right. "I think he probably could have very well been the best player for this tournament. He tackled like an absolute machine," said ASU coach Alex Houser of Elan-Puttick. "Super fit, played probably the most minutes of anybody. Then, obviously, his kickoffs were awesome, and he did well with his conversions, too." Arkansas State is sometimes criticized for the heavy South African influence on its roster, but American players like Gavin Brown (Indiana), Michael Baska (Kansas), Pat Sullivan (Illinois) and Dale Bates (Hawaii), along with the three Texans, were pillars of the program's first-ever National Title. "That adds everything to it, actually," said Mizell of winning the National Championship in his home state, "and the funny thing is we have a South African Texan, Zinzan, who scored a great try at the end, so it's the best of both ends. I wouldn't change who I played with for anybody." |

Emerson Network Power has been supplying integrated, application-ready AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) systems under the Centellis™ name for over 10 years. We've built an unrivalled depth and breadth of experience and expertise.
We understand your needs and translate them into solutions to help you gain a competitive advantage while reducing total cost of ownership and risk.
By choosing Emerson Network Power as your partner for ATCA systems, you can focus your entire in-house technical resource on application development and system commissioning from day one of a project.
A new report states that Emerson Network Power has the largest installed base of ATCA blades and systems and the largest market penetration in 2011.Download the Executive Summary of this exciting new market report
As one of the first companies to introduce the latest 40G ATCA technology, Emerson Network Power has deployed many thousands of 40G-ready Centellis ATCA systems in carrier networks. These systems include two-slot, six-slot and 14-slot variants that are designed to meet the needs of both telecom central office and network data center environments.
In fact, we have the only two-slot and six-slot systems in the market with AC power options and front to rear cooling. Recent changes to GR-63 NEBS specification for telecom central office deployments have made front-to-rear cooling a mandatory feature for this type of equipment. Since two-slot and six-slot systems from other ATCA suppliers typically have side-to-side cooling this has become an extremely important feature for smaller scale ATCA systems, and another example illustrating Emerson's deep understanding of this market.
Our Centellis ATCA systems have been successfully deployed to support wireless infrastructure, mobile data optimization, network policy enforcement and access control, and voice core elements such as media gateways and session border controllers. We have also tailored systems to meet the needs of the growing number of applications outside the telecom environment, including enterprise, broadcast video, and military and aerospace. Click on the Systems Expertise in Practice tab below to read just two testimonials from our hundreds of satisfied customers.
Emerson is the only major ATCA systems vendor that designs and manufactures its own chassis. Our patented technology can cool a full shelf of the highest performance blades to the industry's most stringent platform cooling specification: CP-TA B.4.
We understand how to build systems that are capable of meeting the carrier-grade NEBS and ETSI requirements of central office deployments. And since we understand and specify our cooling environments, we can design all our payload blades such that they can be deployed in all of our chassis with full payload configurations, and still meet the industry's thermal and acoustic requirements.
With one of only a few generally available 40G ATCA switches, the ATCA-F140, and a growing portfolio of 40G payload blades, Emerson is poised for continued leadership as ATCA technology is adopted as a common platform for a wider range of applications.
Emerson was instrumental in developing industry-wide interoperability tests and participates in regular interoperability workshops. Every blade design is put through a battery of interoperability tests prior to release.
Our standard 7-year lifecycle and additional services support the long-term supply of equipment, including revision management and extended supply arrangements.
Global facilities can integrate and even drop-ship, with rigorous processes that ensure continuity of supply. Our ATCA solutions are subject to the TL-9000 quality management system.
Our complete ATCA solution service consists of four elements – Specify, Build, Integrate and Test – which combine to provide you with unrivalled, measurable value: a complete, operational ATCA system fine-tuned to your requirements.
How to Specify an ATCA System from Emerson Network PowerEmerson Network Power welcomes enquiries from network equipment providers and system integrators that are developing infrastructure products. Applications engineers will be happy to discuss your requirements and provide an initial consultation.
Emerson Network Power and its authorized distributors have sales and support facilities in almost every region of the world.

If you've had an ischemic stroke or TIA, your doctor may recommend medications to help reduce your risk of having another stroke. These include:
Your doctor may also consider prescribing Aggrenox, a combination of low-dose aspirin and the anti-platelet drug dipyridamole, to reduce the risk of blood clotting. If aspirin doesn't prevent your TIA or stroke, or if you can't take aspirin, your doctor may instead prescribe an anti-platelet drug such as clopidogrel (Plavix).
Warfarin is a powerful blood-thinning drug, so you'll need to take it exactly as directed and watch for side effects. Your doctor may prescribe these drugs if you have certain blood-clotting disorders, certain arterial abnormalities, an abnormal heart rhythm or other heart problems. Other newer blood thinners may be used if your TIA or stroke was caused by an abnormal heart rhythm.

Louisville Doles Out Scholarships, Grants |
Colleges - Men's DII College |
The Louisville Rugby Old Boy's Association has awarded $1000 dollars in scholarships and grants to four players from the 2012 Louisville rugby recruiting class. Cody Hoskins from Meade County High School receives a $700 Roger Daughtery scholarship. Hoskins was a Kentucky Rugby High School All-Star who garnered attention from USA Rugby U-17 National Team selectors and was also an All-District football player and wrestler. Hoskins chose Louisville over Ohio State. Hoskins has been accepted to the J.B. Speed Engineering School, and will use the money on a laptop computer. "This money really helps and I appreciate the support of the Old Boys, and I look forward to playing rugby at U of L," said Hoskins. Braden Deifel (Atherton), Stephen Rand (Iroquois) and Spencer Wise (Trinity) were each awarded $100 book grants. "We're proud to support these student-athletes as they pursue their university diploma," said Mike Pfeffer, President of the Old Boys. "Rugby allows non-varsity athletes the opportunity to play a real sport in college, to compete for league and national championships or represent the US in international and Olympic competition." |

Life insurance is the one asset almost everyone has. For the young parent with limited dollars, it is a way to protect the family against economic loss in the event of a parent's premature death. For the business owner, it may provide dollars to buy out a deceased partner's interest or compensate for the loss of a key manager. For older individuals, it provides the liquidity needed to settle an estate and pay taxes.
Life Insurance is also an excellent vehicle to use in some gifting strategies in order to "reimburse" beneficiaries for gifts given to a charity. Your gift to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation will be wisely administered through our investment program, which will result in a stable source of income to the Cancer Foundation for years to come.
For additional information, please contact:
This receipt can be used to offset tax payable on the final tax return.
Note: If the donation receipt exceeds the net income in the final tax return, it can be carried back to the previous year).
If the donation exceeds 75% of your net income for the year, you can carry the excess tax credit forward up to five years.
Many people ultimately face a substantial loss of their retirement savings through taxation, when the entire RRSP or RRIF is taken into income and taxed in the year of the death of the plan holder. Depending on applicable taxes, close to half of these funds may be lost due to taxation. By gifting the funds you would otherwise pay in tax, the charitable tax receipt will, in many cases, offset the tax owing.
There are two ways to gift all or part of your RRSP's and RRIF's. You can simply ask your financial institution for a change of beneficiary form and designate the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation as your new beneficiary and add a codicil to your Will that provides a charitable gift equal in value to the RRSP or RRIF proceeds.
Investors can now donate an security listed on a Canadian or major international stock exchange and pay no tax. In fact, donors can actually make money on their gifts if the charitable tax credit exceeds the cost of their original investment.
By donating the shares to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation she pays no capital gains tax.
Mrs. Jones can then apply her charitable tax receipt for $10,000 against her other income. At a marginal tax rate of 44% Mrs. Jones saves $4,400 in tax.
Mrs. Jones donated securities that cost her $4,400 and she saved $4,400 in tax – and in addition to that she did not have to pay capital gains tax on the sale of the shares.
The Result: She came out $400 ahead after supporting the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation with a gift of $10,000 – and has peace of mind knowing that her donation is going to make in impact on the lives of thousands of cancer patients in our community.
Gifts can be either immediate or deferred gifts or a combination of both.
To find the option that works best for your portfolio please contact the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation:

Considered by many to be one of the top club fitters in the country, New York Golf Center wears the green jacket when it comes to golf retailers in New York City. One of the three branches in Manhattan, this Herald Square shop stocks all the equipment, clothing and accessories you could ever need for hitting the links. Just step through the glass doors under the green-and-white awning and let the helpful staff take charge. New York Golf Center is also the city's only authorized dealer of Miura clubs, forged one-by-one in Japan with the same ancient steelmaking techniques used in samurai swords. Fittings can be booked ahead of time and clubs tested on the store's putting green and simulators.
As part of the Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex, located at the historic Chelsea Piers, the Golf Club perches over the same port that once welcomed ships into New York City. Now, golfers tee up in the driving range's 52 heated and weather-protected stalls, which overlook the glinting waters of the Hudson River. Automatic tee-up systems position balls for launch across the 200-yard, net-enclosed fairway. A putting green allows patrons to improve their short game, and two Full Swing simulators encourage them to take hacks in virtual environs, transporting them to famous courses across the country or fifth-grade birthday parties where they missed the piñata.
Children and adults alike can enlist in Golf Club at Chelsea Piers' classes, which stratify students by experience level. The 12-member coaching staff includes PGA and LPGA professionals, and sessions take place in a 2,000-square-foot teaching facility.
The kinetic clack of tiny orbs colliding with metal clubs welcomes club-toting clientele into Hoboken Golf's 5,300-square-foot practice facility, where players can hone their games year-round. Using a nine-hole putting course as well as several hitting areas that accommodate swings of varying fullness, the studio's versatile instructors can provide a hands-on assessment of all aspects of their pupils' games.
Certified as a Class A instructor by the PGA, Jonathan Margolies unloads golf wisdom accrued through his extensive experience during private lessons conducted at the course of Cypress Creek Country Club. Armed with a well-rounded skill set, Jonathan can adeptly address all aspects of the game, helping golfers cure slice-prone swings, gain confidence in their short game, or learn which club is most effective as a backscratcher. In addition to his PGA recognition, Jonathan also bears certification from the Titleist Performance Institute, which affirms his in-depth understanding of golf-specific physical training. Players looking for an equipment upgrade can even consult Jonathan for advice on clubs: his experience as a Master club fitter makes him particularly astute in the subtle science of pairing people with bars of metal.
Drive495 is more than just an indoor golf course and more than just a gym. The facility consists of a two-story loft space, with video-simulated golf courses above and a swanky gym and café below. Today's golf and fitness package provides two weeks of unrestricted membership to this compact urban country club, including:
Aetrex prizes comfort and foot health without sacrificing fashion. Their collection of pumps, sandals, boots and casual footwear with footbeds that combine Lynco arch support, memory foam, and antimicrobial technology.

A landmark court settlement will allow coal operators to continue blasting the tops off West Virginia mountains and burying streams under waste rock and earth. Mountaintop removal mining will remain legal.
But the settlement will force environmental regulators to, for the first time, take a much closer look at how mowing down forests, flattening out hilltops and burying streams affect the environment.
The settlement, worked out in secret by lawyers for environmental groups and the federal government, gave one coal company, Arch Coal Inc., a new permit it desperately wanted.
However, a little-noticed part of the agreement could spell trouble for the rest of the strip-mining industry: If it works out as expected, the settlement will result in a two-year moratorium on new permits for large-scale mountaintop removal mines. No new mountaintop removal mines would be authorized until regulators complete a long-term study of the mining method's impacts and come up with ways to lessen those impacts.
Mountaintop removal mining uses explosives to blow apart hilltops and uncover valuable low-sulfur coal underneath. Huge shovels and dozers dump leftover rock and earth into waste piles called valley fills, which bury streams.
Under federal environmental laws, regulators are supposed to understand potential environmental effects - and force companies to take steps to minimize them - before permits are issued. State and federal officials conceded they don't fully understand mountaintop removal's long-term impacts.
In July, the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy and a coalition of coalfield residents filed a lawsuit in federal court to try to curb mountaintop removal.
Among other things, the lawsuit alleged that valley fills had been illegally permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The corps, the lawsuit alleged, improperly authorized valley fills under the "dredge and fill" provisions of the federal Clean Water Act. In legal depositions, corps officials agreed with these allegations. If upheld by the courts, this would have meant that the mining industry could no longer use valley fills to dispose of its waste.
On Dec. 23, various federal agencies and the Highlands Conservancy signed a settlement agreement that called for both short-term and long-range changes in mountaintop removal regulation.
The settlement would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the corps of Engineers, the federal Office of Surface Mining and the Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct a two-year study of mountaintop removal's environmental impacts. The study would be geared toward finding out what new types of rules are needed to limit adverse environmental effects.
Until the two-year study is complete, the settlement requires somewhat smaller environmental studies of every new mountaintop removal permit that proposes to fill in a stream with a drainage area of 250 acres or more. Only the Arch Coal Spruce No. 1 permit, proposed for near Blair, Logan County, would be exempt.
EPA Region III Administrator W. Michael McCabe, who pushed for environmental groups to approve the settlement, said in a news release: "Large surface mines will now have to undergo an exhaustive environmental assessment before they can be permitted. The comprehensive, unified federal plan will ensure that all the environmental impacts can be limited, and those that do occur will be properly mitigated."
What McCabe didn't say in his news release is that the smaller, single-permit environmental studies could each take two years to complete. That means that many large-scale surface mine permits now pending won't be issued for at least two years.
At least 18 of 40 mountaintop removal projects now on the drawing board would meet the 250-acre threshold, meaning individual studies would be required, according to EPA figures.
In an interview last week, McCabe conceded that the timing could allow federal officials to complete their more thorough study - and suggest more regulatory reforms - before any more new permits are issued.
"This clearly is going to change the way mountaintop removal is done," McCabe said. "They are going to have to undergo much more scrutiny. This is something that should have been done before, but we're going to do it now."
McCabe announced the settlement Dec. 23. Most coal industry observers and insiders haven't had much time to scrutinize the agreement in any detail. But, in interviews last week, most wanted to know if their fears of a moratorium were correct.

Whoa, what now about him not being dead? XD
You know, this amount of activity is absolutely stunning. Like, do we have ANYTHING to go with, other the Paperhorse maybe from some time back?
Okay. After a bit of PMing, I feel the best course of action is to see where this leads. Vote: Synthesis

"Hey Viridi, remember when you were pondering over using Magnus as partner for the flavour text over me?"
"N-no Phosphora, you were always my first choice after Pit died, honest!"
"Well it's good that you did because, Magnus probably wouldn't be his cool self if he were to see this."
"Oh, you mean because we got an underworld forces commander? Ah yes. I suppose he might be jumping with joy for once!"
"Ugh, Viridi no. That isn't an underworld forces commander. It just looks like one."
"What? Oh you've got to be kidding me."
"Yeah, I wonder if we might've even got to see Magnus cry if he were here."
"I think it's really for the best I picked you in that case then."
It is now night 6!
So we lynched the Miller.
No no no, I call Pink. Pink is love, and a humanitarian like me loves people
Okay so I lied a little but it was safer to trick people not to check me than to explain why I was allied with underworld forces after discovered. Still could have mentioned me to let me know I'd been voted.
"So Phosphora, did you notice how not a single on of our side has died so far? Not a single person allied with the forces of nature?"
"Viridi, why are you brining this up?"
"So Viridi, did you already buy a weapon for yourself yet?"
"Who knows. Did you?"
"That wasn't what I meant. I just meant that we actually have the first death through damage accumulation here."
"Took them long enough."
"So basically a glorified fool huh? You'd think he'd end up being lynched."
"Whoa, Viridi, what is happening?"
"It seems like we are being plunged into chaos!"
It is now chaos day 7.

CNET Editors' review
If ad blocking is the hacksaw of Internet-protecting add-ons, DoNotTrackMe is a finely honed katana, slicing out tracking behaviors embedded in sites without destroying the modern Web.
The latest version makes some helpful changes both on the surface and how it protects you. Formerly known as Do Not Track Plus, the add-on's redesign makes it significantly easier to use. DNTMe's new crosshairs icon sits next to your location bar, and is easier to find than the previous one. It still shows you the number of trackers that it's blocked on the site that you're visiting, but the layout redeco looks much less like a Windows XP reject.
Click on the crosshairs and a drop-down window opens that shows you a sun icon if there's no trackers on the site, or in-depth tracking info if there's more going on than meets the eye. If trackers are detected, you see first a list of the companies tracking you, and then a breakdown of which companies to which they report. These include separate call-outs for social networks, as well as other private companies. The slider at the top is also what you click to allow all tracking from a specific site.
Below the tracker data is a real-time chart showing you how many trackers you've been protected from, although the chart's data is a bit thin. At the very bottom you have links to a combination of Abine privacy products, such as its DeleteMe service, and free blog posts that help explain more information about tracking and privacy concerns.
DNTMe's benefit isn't just that it blocks trackers, but that it keeps the social Web active while protecting you. Publisher Abine does this by actually rebuilding the social-networking buttons on most sites, which prevents sites from gleaning tracking data from you when you're not logged in. By rebuilding social-networking buttons on the fly without sacrificing privacy or site load times, it keeps the kind of functionality people want from the Web.
It's a unique response to the problem of tracking, and reflects how seriously Abine takes its task. DNTMe also blocks ad networks and companies from following you around the Web.
Several under-the-hood changes to DNTMe have improved how it protects you. It's dropped advertiser opt-out cookies, a small change that eliminates confusion about different types of cookies and increases your protection. It will warn you, too, when it knows about social-networking news and when social-networking sites make privacy policy changes.
The settings icon, a small gear at the top, lets you toggle tracking cookie blocking on a per-site basis. And throughout the interface, links take you to Abine's sites that explain what the add-on is doing and why it's doing it. We're talking smart, helpful stuff.
If you're aware of the serious privacy risks on the Internet today, but are looking for something more nuanced than an ad blocker or JavaScript killer that still lets you experience the modern Web, the Do Not Track HTML header is too anemic to be useful despite its good intentions. Protect yourself by putting some serious weight behind that impulse with DoNotTrackMe.
DoNotTrackMe simplifies tracking blocking:Publisher's Description
From Abine:
Every time you use the web, companies are watching, collecting, and storing info about you and your web activity. Now you can stop them with DoNotTrackMe. DoNotTrackMe (DNTMe) is the new and improved DoNotTrackPlus. It's the same free privacy software that prevents online tracking and improves your security on the Internet, with more powerful blocking and an improved UI. DNTMe blocks hundreds of online trackers on millions of sites.
View the number of trackers you're blocking by referring to the icon in your browser toolbar. Click the icon to see more details about the companies trying to track you.
Online trackers, like Facebook, Twitter, and Google Analytics, can't see or collect your web activity. Forget about deleting cookies that store your info; DNTMe prevents them from being placed on your machine in the first place. Block ads with tracking capability, including annoying ads that seem to follow you everywhere you go. Note: Do Not Track Me was previously called Do Not Track Plus.What's new in this version:
- Small bug fixes around the mini graph and UI display.
- New functionality to handle suggested site allows from our users.

Meteorites Found from Asteroid 2008 TC3
This week I'm in Houston for the 40th annual Lunar & Planetary Science Conference, where 1,500 researchers have gathered to talk shop about the solar system. And indeed the big space news this week involves high-stakes interplanetary events — but the story should be datelined "Almahata Sitta, Sudan" instead of "Houston, Texas."
Our saga begins a few months ago, when Planet Earth got an unprecedented visit from a small asteroid designated 2008 TC3. A telescopic observer atop Mount Lemmon, Arizona, discovered this incoming chunk of rock on October 6th, and it slammed into the atmosphere over northern Sudan just 19 hours later. Since the 1970s astronomers have tracked down thousands of asteroids that might someday strike Earth — this is the first discovery that actually did.
"We thought that was the end of the story," recalls Steve Chesley, the orbital specialist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who pinpointed where and when 2008 TC3 would end its 4½-billion-year existence.
But a couple of weeks later Chesley got a call from Peter Jenniskens, who wanted details about the final flight path. A meteor specialist at NASA's SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, Jenniskens had recently returned from a highly successful effort to study the atmospheric reentry of a European spacecraft, and the blazing piecemeal breakup he'd witnessed gave him hope that pieces of the shattered asteroid might have survived and fallen from the sky as meteorites. All too aware of the stones' scientific potential, Jenniskens was determined to look for them — though he admits, "It was a long shot."
Six weeks later Jenniskens found himself standing in the Nubian Desert of northern Sudan with Mauwia Shaddad and a busload of 45 students and staff from the University of Khartoum, where Shaddad teaches physics. All the available information about the asteroid's track — gleaned from civilian and military satellite photos, detection networks on the ground, and eyewitness accounts — suggested that any meteorites from 2008 TC3 should lie along a roughly east-west track about 20 miles southwest of a remote Sudanese railway station called Station 6.
A Scientific Coup
Jenniskens's long shot had paid off. Now he had everything he needed to piece together the entire story of 2008 TC3. Chesley had computed the space rock's exact orbit before it collided with Earth, and an observing team had managed to record a spectrum of the asteroid just 2 hours before its demise using the 4.2-meter William Herschel Telescope in the Canary Islands. And, remarkably, pieces of that same asteroid were in hand.
That in itself was unprecedented. Geologists have spent decades trying to match the spectra of various meteorite types with their most likely asteroidal sources, but the match is never exact and so the associations remain unproven. "We have more than 40,000 samples of asteroids as meteorites," explains Michael Zolensky of NASA's Johnson Space Center, "but we don't know where a single one of them came from."
Once back in the U.S., Jenniskens rushed samples of the newly recovered meteorite — now officially named Almahata Sitta, the Arabic phrase for "Station 6" — to labs around the country. Those analyses revealed that the fallen stones belong to a rare meteorite class known as ureilites, dark carbon-enriched rocks that were once at least partly molten.
But even as ureilites go, the Sudanese stones are unique. Scattered here and there are blotches of carbon that have undergone extreme heating. "Of all the meteorites we've ever studied," comments analyst Andrew Steele (Carnegie Institution of Washington), "the carbon in this one has been cooked to the greatest extent." Moreover, the stones' interiors are full of holes (technically, vugs) lined with coating crystals of the magnesium-rich silicates olivine and pyroxene. Their overall porosity ranges from 10% to 25%, and they crumble easily — making it all the more remarkable that any survived.
Meanwhile, the flat, featureless spectrum of the meteorites is a dead ringer for that of the asteroid itself. As it turns out, 2008 TC3 was also a rare and little-understood asteroidal breed known as an F type. At some point it was chipped off a larger object; conceivably that's the unnamed F asteroid designated 1998 KU2 and numbered 152679, an Earth-crosser estimated to be about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) across. Its rapid spin assures that the surface lacks a dusty coating, which means the observed spectrum reflects its true surface character.
A careful researcher, Jenniskens has kept all this very hush-hush for the past few months. But he and his extensive team of collaborators have now published their findings in today's issue of Nature (it's the cover story).
You can learn more about the flurry of activity surrounding the impact of 2008 TC3 and the recovery effort by checking out press releases issued by the SETI Institute, Carnegie Institution, and the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council.

In the last post we talked about price.
There's a broad class of goods that either have no price, or that you can get for free whether they have prices or not. These include all digitized media goods. Most notoriously, these include music and videos, which can be uploaded and downloaded with little friction, even if doing so is illegal. This fact of early Internet life has presented an extreme challenge to "content" industries in general, and to the music industry in particular. You might say that the old container approach crashed, and most attempts since then on the industry side have consisted of creating new containers or raising costs to customers of violating the old ones — mostly by taking what the industry calls "pirates" to court.
At ProjectVRM we have plans for the music business, but first we'd rather work with a smaller industry that welcomes our participation, that hasn't lost business to freeloaders (because giving the goods away is what they've done all along) and that has been working with ProjectVRM from the start. That industry is public radio.
The goods here are free for the taking but worth more than $0 — a claim substantiated by payments from listeners to stations for goods from NPR, PRI, American Public Media, PRX and other producers, as well as from the stations themselves. Business here isn't bad. And public radio has embraced the Internet far more eagerly than most commercial content producers and distributors. Still, only about ten percent of listeners contribute, so there's plenty of room for improvement.
So the challenge we've given ourselves is raising that percentage, while also starting to model the free and open marketplace described above. With help from the Surdna Foundation (working through PRX and the Berkman Center) we began developing two VRM tools that put functionality behind r-buttons. The first is ListenLog. The second is EmanciPay.
ListenLog is the brainchild of Keith Hopper, who works with NPR. Keith and I saw two goals for the program. One was to enable self-tracking as something individuals do for themselves (rather than having some organization do it for them). The other was to give listeners a way to know what they value, find their way back to it, and otherwise do whatever they like with it — including making decisions about what to pay for the goods themselves. (For more about self-tracking, read Self-trackKevin Kelly and Gary Wolf of The Quantified Self.)
As it happened a number of public radio institutions were working together on a free public radio player (originally called a tuner), for the iPhone. To make a long story short, the first generation ListenLog is now included with the Public Radio Player, which lets you tune in hundreds of different stations, plus "on demand" programs (basically podcasts stored in the cloud). ListenLog keeps track of your listening through all of them, and provides three different views:
- Current ongoing log
- Stream Listening Summary
- Program Listening Summary
— along with ways to export and delete data.
ListenLog is open source, and we'd love to see it used alongside other apps on other devices, and to model logging of all kinds of stuff (such as music).
So far the Public Radio Player has had more than 2.5 million downloads, which means there's some chance you already have it, if you're an iPhone user. If you don't, and you listen to public radio, get one, check out ListenLog and offer feedback and suggestions below. Or, if you're an open source developer, help us out.
Once you have the app, go into Settings, activate logging, and follow the results. You do that by clicking "more" on the bottom right tab of the Player, which goes to the page on the right.
Below are three screen shots of my own logs. These bring up questions that EmanciPay can help answer.
First, my current log:
Second, my Total Listening Time Per Stream:
Third, my Total Listening Time Per Program:
As logging applications go, this one is primitive. In fact, that's one of the ideas behind it. We want others to take and improve on the ideas (and/or the code)_ behind it, and to put it to new uses.
This is where EmanciPay comes in. That's the subject of our next piece, the third in this series.

hi everyone,
Do anyone know if I can get certification for flash, html, php etc online.
the certification must have some value.
I am pharmacist by profession and thus doesn't hold any degree or certificate in computer field.
thanks in advance.
You can work as freelancer. Why you want to get certifications? Of course, if you will have the certifications you will be attractive to customers or companies. But if I understand you well your hobby is creating web aplications, and your profession is pharmacist. So, I don't see a sense…

If you want PHP certification you can take a look at the Zend certifications: http://www.zend.com/en/services/certification/
You can get any of the Adobe family certification its long way to go.
As a self experience ACI they are very good if you want to get in to teaching one of the Adobe products, to get in to the highest level lets say ACI will take you around 4-6 years if you have some education degree you can short it to 2-3 years in some places you can make around $200- $250 (US,UK, Denmark, Sweden atc ) per our, not to mention more money before the exams ,but there aren't many ACI out there and its hard to find good schools for Adobe to teach , so location is supper imported . Base on your flag I don't think India is in that money standard level.
But you can easily take any of the Adobe exams online (about $150 for exam) as start building your certification and go higher on the rank, if you fail there is a holding time until you can take the exam again so don't fail .the exam is in English + for the fully certification for learning center there is also a verbal test been done on line with interview so you need to speak English well with confidence and actually know what you are taking about and not memorize the answer from the hundred exams out there .
If its flash the only benefit i see if you are going in to teaching direction, other then that i don't see much benefit as you can find even non certified that actual teaching with no certification at all . But flash is a deference story, but Flex is more handy for certification, now that's is a must as Flex dev` make the most money if you find your self in to a company as flex dev` the certification have a lot of weight in employs priority and more money to make .
