Assassin's Creed 4 trailer bends its knee to no man
by Steve Watts, May 15, 2013 10:15am PDTAssassin's Creed 4: Black Flag stars yet another new assassin, Edward Kenway, and that means a fresh backstory from the historical-fiction series. Kenway has a strong sense of justice like his predecessors, and a new trailer suggests his pirating ways are his way of getting back at the royal and elite classes.
The trailer intersperses bits of Kenway's narration about his motivations with, naturally, scenes of him causing havoc. Check it out below for a bit more insight to this latest addition to the roster of assassins. The game is due October 29.

Hi everyone,
The RunningAHEAD server was intermittently unreachable starting at around 12:34 AM EDT. I contacted the web hosting company and they explained that the problem is a malfunctioning switch at the data center. It prevented your browser from reaching the server. They are in the process of migrating all the servers to use a backup switch. Until all servers are routed, there will be sporadic outages. They are hoping the work will be done by 2:30 AM EDT.

Learned how to make prints in Darkroom Photography class today. Made my negatives contact sheet & was...wow! It was like magic. I enjoy the darkroom process, there are a lot of steps and some are very crucial, but I like it. I messed up a lot though, but it was fun.
So not auditing those college classes. The school changed its minds last minute. They allow it, but no ones ever done it before at their school, so they don't know what they're doing. Arrgghh.
Bought cd's: Simon & Garfunkel, Jeff Buckley, and Sarah McLachlan.
SAT again this Saturday. Can I just say I hate the standardized testing system with an unbridled fiery passion? Ahhh, I'm a bad tester.
Saw my sister today. Going to her place Friday to hang and get lunch. She has a bunch of music for me, courtesy of her awesome husband. I feel more and more that I want to tell my sister everything. I just don't know how to go about it.

LMAO! Jeff, that's not very nice. lol I would have been upset, too.
[[Love means you can never be apart... <3]]
You people are just trying to make me out to be the bad guy.
I am NOT a size queen.
I just think that in sex, people should NOT fall out.
Are you insinuating I have a large ass?
May I just announce that I am 145 lbs of skinny 5'9" MEANESS.
I was going for wide hole. ;-)
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."

Oh man, you guys are worse than my dad and my brother-in-law. How did this turn into some sexual innuendo/size debate? Lol, Jeff and Nanook, you both made me get a very strange look on my face and laugh. You two are just...bad, jeez. :)
I WAS SIXTEEN AND A VIRGIN! How could I have been loose!?
You sir, are simply just trying to project your insecurities on me, aren't you? Ha, I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!
Your dildo exceeded your reality, so you were overprepared. ;-)
I was merely pointing out there was another option for why it could fall out, and with you being a size queen, that would back up the overly-large dildo theory, too.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
I love darkroom photography. =D Especially when you get the perfect shades of black and white, with just a little grey... sigh. I wish they would have kept the darkroom here. So sad..
[[Love means you can never be apart... <3]]
Yeah I like doing it the traditional way in black & white. But my prints were coming out too dark, though to be fair I am a complete beginner.
They took away the darkroom where you are? That sucks. You know it occurred to me what am I going to do next year for a darkroom? I plan on taking a gap year and hopefully spending it in NYC or D.C., so I wondered if there were places where you could be a member, pay a fee to use the darkroom and such. Or maybe find some people and put one together through joint efforts.
Maybe you could do something like that? Do any of your friends like Darkroom Photography? Or maybe try contacting photographers and photography teachers near you about working something out to where you could use their darkroom?
I took a Film Photography Class over the summer - Hope you have a super fun time. High five for Simon and Garfunkel, and good luck with sister.

Jeffrey "Jeff" Atwater (born April 8, 1958) is currently the Republican Chief Financial Officer of Florida.
Atwater moved to Florida at the age of 4 and grew up in North Palm Beach, Florida, where his father, a veteran World War II pilot and FBI agent, served as police chief. He went on to gain substantial experience in banking, and was elected to the North Palm Beach Village Council in 1993. Later, he served as chairman, president, and CEO of the Barnett Bank of Broward County and the Treasure Coast, and later as market president of Riverside National Bank for Palm Beach and Broward counties.
In 2000, Atwater ran for the Florida House of Representatives from the 83rd District, defeating Democratic nominee Pam Dunston and independent Michael I. Danchuk. After just two years in the House, he ran for the Florida Senate from the 25th District, which included Palm Beach and Broward counties. Unopposed in the primary election, Atwater faced off against long-serving Democratic Attorney General of Florida Bob Butterworth in the general election, and, aided by then-Governor Jeb Bush's strong performance that year, defeated Butterworth by a solid margin. He was re-elected in 2004 with no opposition, and again in 2008, when he defeated Democrat Linda Bird, a realtor. From 2008 to 2010, he was the president of the Florida Senate.
Following the decision by then-Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink to run for governor rather than seek re-election, Atwater jumped into the race to succeed Sink. In the general election, Atwater faced off against former State Representative Loranne Ausley, whom he defeated in a landslide.
Although Atwater and his supporters assert that his banking background provides him with a unique insight into legislative issues pertaining to banking, insurance, finance and fiscal responsibility, the bank that he was heavily involved in, Riverside National Bank, was taken over by the FDIC and declared a "failed bank."[1]

Comments about Dakota Smith Metro Bronze:
I have very poor vision but these glasses look good even with my thick lenses. I got the transition lens feature which works out very well. They fit my face perfectly and the spring hinges work to keep them from slipping. You can't beat them, an excellent overall value. (note: I got the same glasses in navy color)

Steven Riverside, CA Jul 18 2011 I loved them they are great. the only thing i do not like is that the cords are to short. when the blinds are closed the right cords go all the way to right beneath the valance. I think this is to short for the cords and they should be longer. However this was not discovered until they were installed and its just to much work to take them down and have to return them.

Hello All,
I am a marketing professional who has a passion for interior design.
I am at the point in my life where I am starting to pay attention to things I once overlooked. Specifically I am more into pursuing what I wish and be whoever I want to be. As part of this new initiative I am doing some research (information gathering) to understand where I am going next.
Would like to understand what is the role of marketing at HGTV? Who should I talk to?
Any help will be appreciated.

A soon-to-be-completed connecting road between West Grant Street and West Washington Street was approved as South 14th Avenue on Sept. 12.
City staff estimate completion before Halloween for the approximately 600-foot road, dependent on weather.
The road's name comes from the east/west numbering grid that currently ends at Ninth Avenue. It creates easier access for those west of River Road to access it to travel north and/or travel on Washington Street. Clallam County and resident Steve Smith donated the road space from the west and east sides.
Paul Haines, public works director, said extensions of the avenue are not likely and the road does not have addresses on it.
Sequim's Public Works Department is commissioning a Pavement Management Study this autumn for its 54 miles of public streets and alleys within the city limits.
Contractors photograph, measure and create an evaluation of the city's pavement conditions. Their report and software model allow city staff to plan projects and budgets for efficient upgrades and maintenance programs for city streets.
The city has 17 miles of private streets within city limits and street owners and homeowners associations interested in having their streets evaluated as part of the study can contact David Garlington, city engineer, by Friday, Oct. 7, at 643-4908.
Cost for private street evaluations is determined during the pavement study bidding process and must be paid by the street owners and/or homeowners association.
Lakeside Industries begins work soon to repair portions of South Sequim Avenue from Etta Street to U.S. Highway 101. Lakeside was the lowest and sole bidder, at just over $37,000.
In a few weeks, the crews will repair failing pavement from past work done to sewer and water pipelines. Garlington said the areas are beyond surface repair and need asphalt.
Funds come from the Sewer Replacement Reserve Fund, which pays to repair roadways damaged by utility repair and replacement.
The project is estimated to take a few days with traffic flaggers on duty.
City councilors opted to go out to bid again for paving North Rhodefer Road after receiving only one bid, from Lakeside Industries, which was more than $40,000 over budget. The city council approved up to $60,000 for this project.
Garlington said they'd solicit chip-sealing bids for the road this winter or in the spring of 2012 with funds coming out of next year's budget.
He estimates bids were few because many contractors were catching up with projects already due to the late weather season and weren't looking for new projects. He said the council anticipates more competitive bids next year.
Contact the City of Sequim, 152 W. Cedar Street, at 683-4139.

On Sunday, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard introduced a plan to make Oz the first nation to put a price on carbon pollution. In a world sorely lacking for signs that political leaders are taking the threat of global warming seriously, it is big news – especially given the fact that Australia has the largest per-capita carbon footprint in the world. The plan, which is expected to pass both houses of parliament before the end of the year, would require the nation's 500 biggest CO2 emitters to pay a tax of $24 per ton of carbon dioxide, with that price increasing by 2.5 percent each year until 2015, when the tax will end and an emissions-trading scheme will be introduced. By 2050, Gillard's plan will reduce emissions by 80 percent and channel about $10 billion into energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. "I want people to understand we are seizing a clean energy future," Gillard said.
To subvert Gillard's plan, Australia's fossil fuel mafia worked overtime to spread the usual message of economic gloom and doom. Australia, after all, is the world's largest exporter of coal and iron ore, and so a carbon tax would be expected to hit hard. Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott, who has labored tirelessly to undercut action on climate change, marched up to Queensland, the heart of Australia's coal country, to pose in front of a giant mining machine and tell Australians he would continue to oppose the tax on behalf of a beleaguered coal industry. Barnaby Joyce, a senator for Queensland and longtime coal booster, told a reporter that "this crazy carbon tax would send us back to the Dark Ages and we'd all be riding ponies."
But truth be told, Big Coal didn't seem all that freaked out about Gillard's plan. In fact, the very day Abbott and others were preaching economic decline, Peabody Energy, the world's largest privately held coal company, was negotiating the final details on a $5 billion takeover of Macarthur Coal, a major Australian coal mining company.
As far as I can tell, there are two likely explanations for why a company like Peabody would make a $5 billion deal at precisely the moment a carbon tax is announced: either Peabody executives are very stupid and don't understand the impact that a modest carbon tax will have on the future of their industry. Or they believe that the tales of economic gloom and doom are bullshit, and that, even with a modest price on carbon in Oz, the world is going to continue burning a whole lot of black rocks.
For climate activists, explanation number two is not good news. Because the only scenario more frightening than going back to riding ponies in the Dark Ages is a future in which even bold political action has zero impact on the world's appetite for coal.

Year in Review: Caffeine triggers cloning advance
Courtesy of M. Tachibana
With a tweak to the technique that cloned a sheep in 1996, scientists have generated stem cells in the lab that genetically match those found in human embryos.
The feat pumps life into a sputtering field. Until now, researchers had to harvest the cells from embryos left over from in vitro fertilization, or tinker with ways to turn adult cells into embryonic ones, a task riddled with technical challenges.
Embryonic stem cells are so prized because they can transform into any type of cell in the body. This boundless potential carries the promise of personalized medicine: Doctors could one day dose patients with new, healthy cells made from patients' own bodies. Though scientists had previously cloned cells from frogs, sheep and even monkeys, no one had figured out how to perfect the procedure in human cells.
The cloning procedure, called somatic cell nuclear transfer, requires scientists to remove the DNA-containing nucleus from an egg and replace it with one taken from an adult cell. Under the right conditions, the egg reprograms its new nucleus and develops into an embryonic stem cell. Because each animal's cells have their own quirks, scientists have to tailor the procedure for different creatures.
To successfully clone human cells, eggs must be dunked in caffeine, study leader Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Beaverton and colleagues found (SN: 6/15/13, p. 5). This and other technical changes give researchers a new recipe for creating embryonic stem cells in the lab. And because the recipe doesn't rely on leftover embryos, it may sidestep some of the ethical issues surrounding stem cell research.

"I think that's a reflection on the team and what Doc's built here," Rippon said. "You're going into your third year and you're preaching a philosophy and when a situation like that comes up and somebody jumps both feet in, I think that's incredibly positive for the program.
"He's that kind of kid," Rippon added. "He's as competitive as can be. He wants to do it right and he's got a heck of a coach. To be able to play in the game from Tuesday to Saturday and play in that kind of game says a lot for both of them."
Van didn't look forlornly at Marshall's rushing numbers against Rice, wishing he could be part of the 334 yards the Herd gained. He applauded his former backfield mates. He's a corner now, and becoming the best corner he can is the new mission.
"I'm here on defense now," he said. "That's my main focus. If they need me on offense, I'm sure I can go back over there. If the team needs to focus on defense, I'm going to focus on defense."

WHEN HERD offensive coordinator Bill Legg enters Ross-Ade Stadium to face Purdue (2-1) at 3:15 p.m. Saturday (Big Ten Network telecast), it will be familiar territory. Legg spent five seasons from 2003-07 on the Boilermakers' staff, serving as co-offensive coordinator the last two.
He'll spend some time musing over his tenure in West Lafayette, Ind., but it will be just a little time.
"We had a great five years there," Legg said. "Great people, a lot of friends still in the community. But at the end of the day, we'll take a chance to reminisce for about 30 seconds and then we'll go to work. My job is to help us to find a way to play to the very best of our ability, and see what happens after that."
Legg has experience against Big Ten defenses - and experience playing well against them. With him calling most of the plays, Purdue's 2006 team led the Big Ten in passing and total offense and finished in the top 13 nationally in both. He knows Marshall (2-2) has a tall task ahead.
"That's a good defense," he said. "Let's face it. Notre Dame had to go a two-minute drive at the end of the game to kick a field goal to win that football game. And they're undefeated right now, if I remember correctly. We've got to execute the things we do best and find what our niche is."

Animals Also Affected by Climate Change
A new study named, "Dispersal will limit ability of mammals to track climate change in the Western Hemisphere" from the University of Washington released on Monday, May 14, 2012 examines how 493 animals will fare as they attempt to outrun the rising heat from climate change.
The article, authored by Carrie A. Schloss, Tristan A. Nuñez, and Joshua J. Lawler, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and says on average 9.2% of the mammals in the study migrate too slowly to keep pace with expected climate shifts. In some places, such as the Amazon basin and parts of the Appalachian Mountains, up to 39% of animals may be unable to find suitable climates in a warming world.
Contrary to popular belief, although temperature changes are expected to be more extreme in mountainous regions, equatorial-dwelling mammals may have a rougher time moving their ranges fast enough. This is because temperatures at the equator have been fairly static and the animals that live there are adapted to steady temperatures. Conversely, animals that live in the mountains don't have as far to go to find cooler temperatures. Flat lands are also a problem for mammals. For example, animals that live in the Central United States or the Amazon basin will need to travel farther to beat the heat.
Mammals that take several years to mature, such as New World monkeys, disperse more slowly and this puts them in danger of extinction. The study indicates that a whopping 87% of animals are expected to have smaller dispersal ranges. Of which, 20% will probably result from limited dispersal abilities rather than less suitable climates.
The analysis provides additional information on how humans might help these animals and our own plight. Reducing emissions is critical to slow down climate change. However, it is also possible to ease animal migration barriers such as shopping centers, roads, and cities. In fact, people could even build corridors to help the mammals reach safe havens in time.
May 5th is Climate Impacts Day
If you read our earlier blog post on the connection between extreme weather and climate change http://carbonfund.org/blog/item/4605-un-climate-panel-report-links-global-warming-and-weather-extremes, you're already aware of this issue and have connected the dots to an extent. But perhaps you walked away from the blog post asking yourself, what can I do about climate change? Well here is an event in which you can participate. This Saturday, May 5, 2012 is Climate Impacts Day.
Climate Impacts Day is a global day of action that spotlights people around the world who are connecting the dots between extreme weather and climate change. The focus of individual events varies among assorted communities spanning the globe. Follow this link to find an event near you. http://act.climatedots.org/event/impacts_en/search/#
Next steps after connecting the dots between extreme weather and climate change are to connect the dots to solutions. Clean energy, food-based initiatives, and political organizing for climate action are just a few solutions anyone can put their efforts toward to address climate change and its impacts.
There are also a couple things we can do regarding the impact of climate change. We must adapt to the impacts that are we are already seeing, and the impacts we know are coming. Then it's important to organize to make our governments and businesses take the bold action needed to prevent the truly catastrophic effects of climate change, the effects to which we cannot adapt. This includes eliminating the use of fossil fuels and moving to renewable power sources as soon as possible.
Extreme weather and climate change may seem like a far-off problem, but it is here and there is something everyone can do. Attend a Climate Impacts Day event. Learn more at http://www.climatedots.org/.
UN Climate Panel Report Links Global Warming and Weather Extremes
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report on Wednesday last week, warning that there is evidence from observations gathered since 1950 of change in some weather and climate extremes, including heat waves and record high temperatures.
"Evidence of climate change is expressing itself to people in different parts of the world in lots of different ways. There are some places in the world where there has been an increase in droughts, especially in Southern Europe and Africa. In other parts of the world there have been increases in heavy rainfall events. We've seen that especially in North America," said the Co-Chair of the IPCC Working Group II, Chris Field, a climate expert with the Carnegie Institution for Science in a video overview of the report.
The 592-page Special Report is named, "Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX)" and is the first to focus on extreme weather changes whereas past IPCC reports highlighted the gradual rise of temperatures and oceans.
SREX is the world's most current assessment of climate change risks. The report is aimed at policymakers and its main thrust is that enough is known about climate change for the world's leaders to start making decisions about how to handle the risks.
The report does not address reducing greenhouse gas emissions which have been blamed in large part for increasing global warming. Instead, it offers a range of strategies for adapting to a warmer world. Although mitigation of climate change is not the focus of this report, adaptation and mitigation can complement each other and together can significantly reduce the risks of climate change.
"It's beginning to dawn on people that something is going on; that something bigger is afoot. The frontline of climate change is in the backyard," said Susanne Moser of Susanne Moser Research & Consulting. Nations need to act now, because increasingly extreme weather is already a trend.

Global Water Supplies Threatened by Climate Change
According to a United Nations report released Monday of this week, significant threats to global water supplies include climate change, rapid urbanization, and an unprecedented rise in the demand for food. The report also indicates that a drastic new approach to managing this essential resource is necessary to sustain future generations.
The 4th edition of the World Water Development Report (WWDR4), 'Managing Water under Uncertainty and Risk' was launched on the first day of the World Water Forum, in Marseille, France. The report estimates that there will be a 70 percent increase in demand for food by the year 2050, spurring a 19 percent surge in water used for agriculture. Currently, 70 percent of freshwater is already being used for agricultural purposes.
Climate change has an increasing impact on water resources as it changes soil humidity and rainfall patterns, causes glaciers to melt, and raises the number of water-related disasters such as floods and droughts. All of these impact food production. The report estimates that by 2070, this impact will affect up to 44 million people world-wide.
The report also shows that sanitation infrastructure is not keeping pace. More than 80 percent of the world's waste water is neither collected nor treated.
However, the report does not stop at pointing to the world's water problems. It also aims to provide decision-makers with the tools to implement sustainable use of our water. Best practices are offered as well as in-depth theoretical analyses to help stimulate ideas and actions for better stewardship in the water sector. Additionally, through a series of assessments, a mechanism is provided for monitoring changes in water management and tracking progress towards achieving targets.
Mild US Winter 2012 a Sign of Climate Change
Americans across the US have been experiencing a mild winter this year. However, you may also be wondering if the balmy temperatures point to climate change.
According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), part of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this winter has been particularly warm. Looking at the winter-to-date period (December 2011-January 2012), temperatures across the contiguous United States were the fourth warmest on record. NCDC data records date back to 1895.
Global warming is a reality regardless of the season. The contiguous United States has been experiencing a long-term warming trend during all months of the year, including the winter season. In fact, winter-time temperatures across the lower 48 states have been increasing at about 0.16 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.
There are numerous global patterns and trends which can drive weather across a region of the globe or during a time of year. The warmer-than-average temperatures this season are consistent with climate change. However, the role of other climate phenomenon cannot be ruled out. Some other factors which influenced weather conditions this season were the presence of La Niña in the Equatorial Pacific, the North Atlantic Oscillation in the North Atlantic, and the Arctic Oscillation across the High Latitudes.
More information on the "State of the Climate" during this winter season can be found in the NCDC's online reports.

Students become forensic scientists for a day at D.C. conference
Students from around the country met in D.C. Tuesday to crack the case surrounding a mysterious death. It was a lesson in forensic science - one they don't show you on TV.
"Bob has a girlfriend," Tianna Perry, a student at Cesar Chavez Public Charter School, said.
Sherwood High School student Griffin Alcorn added, "And his girlfriend, who is a known drug addict, is also reported missing."
"She usually goes missing," Perry answered."But never this long...so they're trying to figure out if it was a murder."
The details - while grim - were all clues in the fictitious case. More than 100 students spent the day playing the role of forensic scientists.
American Academy of Forensic Sciences' Bruce Goldberger explained, "30 years ago, most people didn't even know what forensic science was, but today most people do, especially the young"
Once the students learned the scenario, they traveled to each station in the room, trying to piece together the case with the help of experts.
"We have engineering, we have pathology, anthropology, toxicology," Goldberger said.
The student event coincided with the Annual America Academy of Forensic Sciences meeting, so the professionals gave the teens a taste of what it's really like on the job.
Paula Henderson, a forensic document examiner, said, "I tell them when you're writing on that notebook right there, everything you're writing on that top page is being impressed onto the second page... And we have a machine that can pick up those indentations, and you can read what was on that page prior."
It's with these tools that the truth becomes more apparent.
Alcorn said, "At one of the stations, we matched a footprint in the mud to the boyfriend's shoes."
This line of work is exactly what Perry wants to pursue, and she credits her favorite TV show for sparking her interest.
"It's "The First 48", being a detective," she added.
Tuesday's lesson also offered a reality check.
Fawzia Masud, a Thomas Edison High School student, said, "I always thought that forensics was what you see in CSI, like we get results in an hour and the case gets solved in an hour. But it's not like that. It's a lot more hard work."

Ah, the waiting is the worst part. I have dreams - sometimes nightmares - about products I have en-route. Chris will be shipping my order out next week. The race is on... will the Quads arrive before the receivers (HobbyKing) leaving me time to build the CNC 355 - or will I be sitting here with receivers and only my F45 to fly? Either option is fine actually as some of the parts I've ordered I need to play around with and do some experimenting.

Too bad this beef is going on... It's a negative thing and taking too much energy which could be used for developing a great product. Had people gone mad, while this is going on on other UAV developing threads, claiming people have certain rights of certain models/designs.
My support goes out to Chris, because of his excellent way of support and open communication. I'm sure he will be back with new designs, all be it on this forum or another one, or even on his own website. Just let people decide what will be the best design/support and not the fact having some important friends on strategic points... Last year I purchased two of Chris' M-frames and was waiting for a hex or octo frame to come out. Unfortunately it is not going to happen... for now that is. At the moment I am finishing building one of the Armattans and can't wait to maiden it. I saw video's of fellow Armattan owners, but never saw my own airborne. So Armattan wannabe's, he will be back... |

I think it's safe to say that everyone is learning a lot from this experience and moving forward things are going to become even better than they were before. I too was looking forward to the hexacopter - although to be honest what I really want is an octacopter - but for now what I really need is a new quad to replace the one I lost and my order should be shipping next week. I am excited to get the CNC 355 and an M Frame to replace the one I lost!
In the meantime I'm done modding my F45 and just have to wait for a day when it's not snowing or windy so I can test it out. I've finally unpacked my second F45 so I can start flying it even if the modded one is on the bench... I'm getting tired of having nothing but the Symas and V911's, V929's and a V939 to fly. In fact I don't even bother flying those ones anymore... The Armattan and F45 have spoiled me. |

Got my CNC 355 on Saturday. After installing my RX some fine tuning all I can say is WOW. This thing flys like it's on rails. The power is unreal! The only thing that can top this whole experience is Chris' SUPERFANTASTIC customer service. Chris you go leaps and bounds above others and it not only shows in how you represent your quads but your attention to detail in them is outstanding. Never thought I could purchase a product assembled with the detail that I would put into something. Thanks for a great product Chris and an great buying eperience!!!

Vasudev, Sadhguru Jaggi: A Guru Always Takes You for a Ride. PDF. 18 Oct 2012
Author info:
Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. Probing, passionate and provocative, insightful, logical and unfailingly witty, Sadhguru's talks have earned him the reputation of a speaker and opinion-maker of international renown. Sadhguru is also the founder of Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization which has been dedicated to the wellbeing of the individual and the world for the past three decades. Summary: Offering the rare possibility to go beyond all limitations, a veritable Guru takes the seeker on a mystical journey towards the ultimate liberation. But why not bypass the sometimes long and arduous path that the life stories of many saints and sages give an account of, and immediately attain? In this volume, "A Guru always takes you for a Ride," Sadhguru elucidates what it takes to receive the Guru's Grace and evolve into a higher possibility. Considering a Guru as someone who is supposed to guide the seeker in his quest for self-realization, the statement 'A Guru always takes you for a Ride' may sound provocative, contradictory and unjust, at first sight; however, there are comprehensible, even compulsory reasons for it. In this volume, Sadhguru delivers rare insights into the Guru-shishya relationship. This work is in the Canadian public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.

About Us
It is the policy of the NRCS to conduct a positive and continuing American Indian Employment Program that provides equal employment opportunities for Native Americans in all personnel management polices and activities.
November is Native American Indian Heritage Month. American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month originated in 1915 when the president of the Congress of American Indian Associations issued a proclamation declaring the second Saturday in May of each year as American Indian Day. The first American Indian Day was celebrated in May 1916 in New York. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed a joint congressional resolution designating November 1990 as "National American Indian Heritage Month." Similar proclamations have been issued every year since 1994.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the population of American Indians and Alaska natives, including those of more than one race. According to "We the People: American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States," a special report based on the 2000 Census, American Indians and Alaska natives make up 1.5 percent of the total population.

Moving from a library to a single drive
My existing server has an IBM LTO3 tape library with 6 drives and 90 slots. This hardware is going out the door because our lease expires and management has chosen to go with another backup solution. Our existing configuration has a primary storage pool and an offisite copy pool.
I have been given a new server with a single LTO3 drive which will only be doing restore jobs for old data. Basically when the existing server leaves, all TSM client schedules/reclamations/expires will be stopped. It will basically be frozen in time but accessible in case somebody needs to grab a file from 'the old system'.
The problem is there is no library. I can't checkin tapes to a manual library.
I backedup/restored the tsm DB to the new server. I have the manual drive defined to TSM and clients can connect to it, but when I issue restore requests they always bomb and ask for tapes from the offsite copy pool.
Does anyone know how to get a single tape drive on a new server to use tapes from another pool? How can I "attatch" the single drive to the primary storage pool?
I'm spinning my wheels here... Help!

Switching from a library to a single drive system should not be any different. Have done this a lot in the past.
Have you checked that the online pool tapes are not labeled as 'unavailable'? This is commonly one reason why TSM would ask for offsite tapes.Last edited by moon-buddy; 09-16-2012 at 07:35 AM.

Common pawpaw is a small, short-trunked tree or large, multi-stemmed shrub, 10-40 ft. tall, with large, tropical-like leaves. Young shoots and leaves are covered with a rusty down, later becoming smooth. The thick, bright-green, deciduous leaves turn yellow-green in fall. Not particularly showy, but interesting, purple, six-petaled flowers are borne singly in leaf axils before leaf emergence. Large, cylindric, dark-green or yellow, edible fruit follows.
Common Pawpaw is the northernmost New World representative of a chiefly tropical family, which includes the popular tropical fruits Annona, Custard-apple, Sugar-apple, and Soursop. The wild fruit was once harvested, but the supply has now decreased greatly due to the clearing of forests. The small crop is generally consumed only by wildlife, such as opossums, squirrels, raccoons, and birds. Attempts have been made to cultivate Common Pawpaw as a fruit tree. First recorded by the DeSoto expedition in the lower Mississippi Valley in 1541. The name Common Pawpaw is from the Arawakan name of Papaya, an unrelated tropical American fruit.

AbstractStudy of the impacts of biological invasions, a pervasive component of global change, has generated remarkable understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of the spread of introduced populations. The growing field of invasion science, poised at a crossroads where ecology, social sciences, resource management, and public perception meet, is increasingly exposed to critical scrutiny from several perspectives. Although the rate of biological invasions, elucidation of their consequences, and knowledge about mitigation are growing rapidly, the very need for invasion science is disputed. Here, we highlight recent progress in understanding invasion impacts and management, and discuss the challenges that the discipline faces in its science and interactions with society.

AbstractBiosecurity issues as they impact on agriculture, health and the environment are becoming increasingly important. Surveillance is crucial in maintaining a country's biosecurity and this article looks at some of the issues in the context of Australia and its neighbors in the Asia–Pacific region, and emerging threats from parasitic diseases. The important threats to agriculture, public health and wildlife are highlighted, and attention is given to how future surveillance activities must be undertaken on a regional basis and involve neighboring countries if they are to be effective and lead to the protection of both the trade and health of the population.

Synthetic biology confronts publics and policy makers: challenges for communication, regulation and commercialization

AbstractThe novelty of synthetic biology lies in the use of synthesized parts that can be arranged to make useful products. Such advanced, high-throughput genetic engineering projects redesign and fabricate existing biological systems as well as new biological parts, devices and systems that do not occur in nature. This Opinion discusses challenges raised by synthetic biology for public acceptance, regulation, commercialization and the emerging global issue of access to genetic resources and information. As with all new fields of research, maintaining the trust of the public and policy regulators is paramount. Hype and exaggerated claims are counterproductive to developing adaptive and ethically sound regulatory models responsive to stakeholder concerns.

Opinions on what synthetic biology actually is range from a natural extension of genetic engineering to a new manufacturing paradigm. It offers, for the first time in the life sciences, rational design and engineering standardisation. It could address problems across a broad spectrum of human concerns, including energy and food security, and health of growing and aging populations. It also offers great scope for public resistance to its introduction to daily life.

Cynthia sent us an e-mail and also permission to share it with you. She really relys on todays technology to still get WARM each morning. firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi there!
My name is Cynthia G. and I just want to let you know that I´m a big fan of your Morning Show.
I lived in Seattle for 12 years up until 8 months ago when I moved to the State of Queretaro, Mexico.
Yet, I find that my mornings are just not the same without listening to Warm, so I am now a loyal online listener :)
Thanks for your wonderful show, it´s such a treat listening to you at the beginning of everyday. I also admire and share your passion for Seattle and the Puget Sound. It is truly an amazing community and I miss it dearly!
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I wish you all the success and many, many years more on Warm!
Best Regards,
