Hey, is that 2 years in a row for Fat Dragon? Congrats--even though my cardstock never come out as pretty as the examples. :( I'm a lefty, and doomed to suck at cutting stuff. :)

Yeah, we're happy that the Animalcast got nominated for best podcast. My brother was worried that Fred Hicks was going to nominate his and we'd get frozen out (he's got a bit of a man crush on you, Fred).

Well, Fred got his own nomination (Spirit of the Season), so he's fine. :)

Zach, are you going to put up your personal nomination list?

- Zachary The First said...
To be honest, Meg, the ENnies and I do not see eye-to-eye on this. I am lobbying and have lobbyed very hard on this, but they feel it might affect how people vote, or might adversely impact the other judges, so they're asking me and the other judges who -did- want to share to hold off until after voting. Their decision, not mine. I'm holding off for the moment, but will be sharing just as soon as I can. I don't agree with it(especially since I ran on a platform of openness and direct communication), but that's how its been laid out to me, and I'm not the policy-maker. Just being honest.
I am hoping we can find a compromise, and I really do understand they're doing what they feel is best, but bottom line, I promised I'd share everything I can and intend to. It comes down to a question of when. If you have a question on a particular product and don't feel comfortable asking in comments, my email is off to the right side of the page. :) I'll try to answer it as best I'm able.

Yep, this is our second year. I never thought we'd get nominated last year, let alone win and then get nominated again this year. Stop by the booth at Indy and we'll discuss some tips and tricks for cardstock! :D

- Zachary The First said...
Man, that sounds great. I'll definitely be doing that. I know I need a better cutting surface, for one. I'll have to take notes!

The international biochemical community has lost a valued colleague with the death of Richard I. (Dick) Gumport in Chicago on Oct. 13. Gumport devoted his research career to the study of enzymes that act on nucleic acid substrates and to the characterization of biologically important protein-nucleic acid interactions. Moreover, he contributed generously to his profession through his service as a journal editor, as an educator and administrator and through his commitment to the promotion of international scientific cooperation.
Born in Pocatello, Idaho, on June 23, 1937, Dick Gumport worked his way through the University of Chicago with a variety of jobs and received a Bachelor of Science in general biology in 1960. His lifelong commitment to nucleic acids and the enzymes that catalyze their reactions can be traced to his doctoral studies on RNA polymerase, completed in 1968 at the University of Chicago with Samuel B. Weiss. The commitment was strengthened and broadened by Dick's subsequent research as a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow with I. Robert Lehman at Stanford University from 1968 to 1971. With Lehman, he identified a covalent intermediate in the DNA ligase reaction, namely an adenylyl moiety derived from the NAD+ (or ATP, depending on the source of the enzyme) substrate linked to an active site lysine residue as a phosphoramide. Dick often cited his experiences in the Stanford biochemistry department as inspiration for his ideal of an academic department as a close-knit community of collaborating scholars.
Dick joined the faculty of the biochemistry department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1971 and spent his entire career there. He was the first full-time faculty member in the fledging Urbana campus of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and he devoted much energy to the biochemical education of medical students and to administrative service to the medical school. At Illinois, Dick's research initially centered on phage T4 RNA ligase. In collaboration with Olke C. Uhlenbeck, he demonstrated that RNA ligase could be used to join oligoribonucleotides, and he developed this method as a valuable tool for synthesis of RNA oligomers of defined sequence. Subsequently, Dick extended the use of RNA ligase to the joining of oligodeoxyribonucleotides, which was widely adopted in DNA synthetic chemistry. Recognizing the extraordinary value of DNA oligomers of known sequence as research tools, Dick became one of the pioneers in adapting newly developing methods of chemical synthesis of DNA oligomers, which could then be joined to form larger oligomers using RNA ligase. DNA oligomers prepared in Dick's lab were used in pioneering studies with techniques that are now universally used: site-directed mutagenesis, primers for sequencing, templates for in vitro synthesis of RNA and mapping the specificity of protein-nucleic acid interactions. Often, Dick gave his oligomers to other researchers with no expectation of co-authorship.
Dick and Jeffrey Gardner, his colleague in Illinois' microbiology department, conducted a productive collaboration for more than 20 years. They investigated the mechanism of site-specific recombination in bacteriophage lambda via characterization of integrase, integration host factor (IHF) and Xis and FIS interactions with DNA and the roles of these interactions in the regulation of the directionality of recombination and in forming nucleoprotein complexes. They also collaborated on research on the mechanism of transcription attenuation in regulation of the Escherichia coli threonine biosynthetic operon.
Dick's interest in DNA synthesis led him to develop methods for the incorporation of base analogues into synthetic oligomers for use in detailed characterization of DNA recognition by proteins, both in collaboration with others and in his own laboratory. He conducted an extensive program of research into DNA recognition by the EcoRI and RsrI restriction endonucleases and methyltransferases, a group of four proteins chosen because they all bind to the same DNA sequence but catalyze different reactions and have little amino acid sequence homology. His studies provided valuable insight into the details of DNA recognition by these enzymes.

Competition season is officially here, and whether you're traveling to competitions nearby or far away, you need to be prepared! We've all had that nightmare the night before a trip where we keep worrying that we left something out of our cheer bag or suitcase. Put your mind at rest with a few simple tips on how to get your team looking competition-ready with the three essential B's – Bows, Briefs, and Bags.
First, make sure you know exactly which uniform to bring. (When in doubt, bring all of your uniforms and practice wear to be prepared.) A secret weapon to helping your routine look clean is to make sure everyone on the team is wearing their hair styled the same way. Whether you want your hair half-up, in a high ponytail or in a low bun, make sure your hair is up and pulled away from your face! Then comes the fun part – picking out the perfect bow! From traditional colors to shimmery sequins, your look isn't complete without an awesome bow. You can order custom bows through your local Varsity rep, or simply buy extra "Back-up" bows at our Varsity Shop to keep in your cheer bag.
Next, find the perfect briefs. A great way to look uniform and clean is by choosing briefs that match your same skirt color. Always order an extra pair in case you or your teammates forget them at home. A good way to pull your team's look together is to match your bow to your briefs. We have tons of colors, designs and material options to choose from to make sure your ideal look is complete!
The final step is to find the perfect team bag. From backpacks to duffle bags, your team will be looking uniform and clean from the minute you step off the bus or plane. Before each competition, write out a special packing list for everyone's cheer bag. Make sure to include any items on the list that they could use. Here's a sample packing list for your team:
-Uniform Top
-Uniform Skirt
-Ponytails Holders & Bobby Pins
-Energy Bars
-Water Bottle
Whatever you decide to pack for your trip, you'll surely be prepared for your competition season with the 3 Essential B's – Bows, Briefs, and Bags!

Comments about 265 ft. Lithium-Ion Laser Distance Meter:
I've only had this for a week, but it appears to be everything I expected. The device is very configurable and is fairly intuitive(important for me as I seldom read instructions). It seems well made (rugged)Easy to slip into a pocket or nail pouch if necessary. The laser is brite enough to see in a well lit room, haven't tried it outside as of yet.After a week I would recommend this device.

Comments about 265 ft. Lithium-Ion Laser Distance Meter:
Beam washes out in daylight on longer measurements. Several measurement functions - area, volume, determine angles or length of sloped surfaces. overall good value
Best Uses
Comments about 265 ft. Lithium-Ion Laser Distance Meter:
I do a lot of small projects, and it is always disturbing to go around furniture or having to move it, and takes more time; or even have someone to assist you; when using the measuring tape. Now I do most of the things myself and use my time where I really need it. It works great indoors, it can also be used outdoors but when the sun is really bright, you can't really see the laser, but there are some special glasses for that. All in all, it is a great working tool, that keeps productivity flowing, and makes life easier. This tool is easy to use and understand form a beginner to a pro. I personally love it, worth every cent.

July 19 - While growth for the Rural Mainstreet economy remains healthy, it slowed a bit in July, according to the monthly survey of bank CEOs in a 10-state area.
Overall: The Rural Mainstreet Index, which ranges between 0 and 100 with 50.0 representing growth neutral, slipped to 57.3 from Junes 60.5, but was well ahead of last Julys 47.3.
Last year at this time, the drought was having a significant negative impact on the Rural Mainstreet economy. This year, ample moisture has boosted the rural economy and the bankers economic outlook, said Ernie Goss, the Jack A. MacAllister Chair in Regional Economics at Creighton University.
Additionally, energy production has taken on an increasingly important role for the rural economy. As reported by Jim Stanosheck, CEO of State Bank of Odell in Odell, Neb., The area has about 45 wind generators being built in the next six months. This activity should spur the rural economy for next six to seven months.
Farming: The farmland-price index declined for the seventh time in eight months. The July index fell to 58.2 from Junes 58.4. Our farmland-price index has been above growth neutral since February 2010. However, lower farm commodity prices and expected declines in farm income are slowing growth in farmland prices. I expect farmland price growth to continue to weaken as a stronger U.S. dollar weighs on agriculture commodity prices, said Goss.
This month bankers were asked to project farm income for 2013. On average, bankers expect farm income to be down by 3 percent from 2012. Approximately 59.6 percent of bank CEOs expect farm income to be down from 2012, while only 19.5 percent anticipate an increase in farm income and the remaining 20.9 percent expected no change.
Farm equipment sales also softened for July, with an index of 50.0, down from Junes 53.2. Farmers are getting increasingly cautious regarding economic conditions. This has been reflected in declines in our equipment-sales index and in the stock prices of agriculture equipment producers, reported Goss.
Banking: The loan-volume index moved above growth neutral for the month. The index soared to 75.7 from Junes 66.7. The checking-deposit index advanced to 53.7 from Junes 48.5, while the index for certificates of deposit and other savings instruments increased to a very weak 42.0 from 33.6 in June.
Community bankers are more upbeat that Congress will address the increasing concentration of U.S. banking. As reported by Pete Haddeland, CEO of the First National Bank in Mahnomen, Minn., TBTF (too big to fail) is gaining some traction (in D.C.).
This month bankers were also asked about the impacts of the federal spending sequester. Only 1.5 percent reported significant impacts, while 34.3 percent indicated moderate impacts with the remaining 64.2 percent detailing no impacts from the spending sequestration.
Hiring: Julys hiring index declined to a strong 60.7 from Junes 61.4. Readings over the past several months are consistent with an annualized growth rate in jobs of 1 percent. Businesses linked to agriculture and energy continue to add jobs at this slow, but positive pace, said Goss.
Confidence: The confidence index, which reflects expectations for the economy six months out, fell to 56.6 from 60.0 in June. While healthy crop conditions have fortified the economic outlook, recent weaker than expected agriculture commodity prices have lowered that outlook, said Goss
More than three-fourths, or 77.9 percent, of bankers think that Congressional passage of a new farm bill is important or crucial to the Rural Mainstreet economy, said Goss.
Home and retail sales: The July home-sales index slipped to 76.6 from Junes record high of 78.1. The July retail-sales index slipped to 53.1 from 53.9 in June. Slightly higher mortgage rates failed to slow the rapidly improving Rural Mainstreet housing sector, said Goss.
Each month, community bank presidents and CEOs in nonurban, agriculturally and energy-dependent portions of a 10-state area are surveyed regarding current economic conditions in their communities and their projected economic outlooks six months down the road. Bankers from Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming are included.
This survey represents an early snapshot of the economy of rural, agriculturally and energy-dependent portions of the nation. The Rural Mainstreet Index is a unique index covering 10 regional states, focusing on approximately 200 rural communities with an average population of 1,300. It gives the most current real-time analysis of the rural economy. Goss and Bill McQuillan, president of CNB Community Bank of Greeley, Neb., created the monthly economic survey in 2005.
Colorado: For a tenth straight month, Colorados Rural Mainstreet Index remained above 50.0. The July RMI declined to a still robust 70.5 from Junes 81.2. The farmland and ranchland price index declined to a strong 75.5 from Junes 80.3. Colorados hiring index for July slipped to 73.0 from Junes 75.7. Bankers reported problems for certain segments of the rural economy. According to Fred Bauer, CEO of Farmers Bank in Ault, Dairies are still struggling with (high) feed costs.
Illinois: While the RMI for Illinois declined in July to 57.6 from Junes 61.6, it has remained above growth neutral for 10 straight months. Farmland prices sank to 49.1 from 49.4 in June. The states new-hiring index dipped to 54.3 from Junes 55.2.
Iowa: The July RMI for Iowa expanded slightly to 62.3 from Junes 62.2. The farmland-price advanced to 54.6 from 49.6 in June. Iowas new-hiring index for July improved to 58.0 from Junes 55.3. As reported by Steven Lane, CEO of Security Savings Bank in Farnhamville, Most of the crops in our area were planted late. Its now up to mother nature to see if it amounts to much.
Kansas: The Kansas RMI for July decreased 59.2 from 60.5 in June. The farmland-price index sank to 46.6 from Junes 49.6. The states new-hiring index decreased to 52.7 from 56.7 in June. Bankers in the state remain hopeful, but cautious regarding the farm economy.
Minnesota: The July RMI for Minnesota tumbled to a 53.4 from Junes 59.7. Minnesotas farmland-price index fell to 51.3 from 58.5 in June. The new-hiring index declined to 55.8 from last months 61.2. Pete Haddeland, CEO of the First National Bank in Mahnomen, said, Our crops look great.
Missouri: The July RMI for Missouri rocketed to regional high of 81.2 from 59.2 in June. The farmland-price index for July remained strong at 78.9, though it was down from Junes 81.5. Missouris new-hiring index rose to 84.2 from Junes 76.7.
Nebraska: After moving below growth neutral for January, Nebraskas Rural Mainstreet index has now moved above growth neutral for six straight months. The July RMI climbed to 58.0 from 56.5 in June. The farmland-price index for July fell to 48.5 from Junes 59.2. Nebraskas new-hiring index stood at 53.9, down slightly from Junes 53.7. Weather remains a problem for some parts of the state. According to Bill McQuillan, president of CNB Community Bank of Greeley, Pasture conditions continue to deteriorate because of the lack of moisture in the last 30 days.
North Dakota: The North Dakota RMI for July dipped to a 78.4 from 81.8 in June. The farmland-price index declined to 82.4 from Junes 87.6. North Dakotas new-hiring index declined to a still very strong 76.5 from Junes 80.6.
South Dakota: The July RMI for South Dakota slipped to 59.9 from 60.5 in June. The farmland price index slumped to 50.8 from Junes 51.5. South Dakota's new-hiring index for July decreased to 55.5 from Junes 56.5. As in other areas of the region, farm conditions are up significantly from last year. According to David Callies, CEO of Miner County Bank in Howard, Crops are doing very well.
Wyoming: The July RMI for Wyoming expanded to 53.0 from 52.6 in June. The July farmland and ranchland price index grew to 41.9 in July from 40.8 in June. Wyomings new-hiring index increased to 49.6 from Junes 49.4.

Read: How Christian Thomas Is Training This Summer
This summer Christian Thomas joined Steve Stamkos, Jeff Skinner and James Neal and others to train with Gary Roberts in Toronto for his high intensity workout camp.
Dan Rosen, at NHL.com, went to the camp and report on the program that Roberts has these players on.
Roberts said that he works with each player individually to help them get better, "So, I treat everybody differently that way. These guys get specific training for their own weaknesses and that's what the summer should be about. The winter becomes a general program, but the summer should be more specific to the players' needs."
Thomas' father Steve was teammates with Roberts in Toronto.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - For continued support of the local library system's growth and development, the Mesa County Public Library Foundation was created in 1994. Now, the small nonprofit funds many projects, including the Central Library revamp effort going on right now.
"The beauty of how the library foundation works with the library district is that the overhead is dedicated from district funds," Mesa County Public Library Foundation Development Director Lois Becker said. "All contributions, for the most part, go over to the libraries in full capacity. Donors know their gifts go straight to a project, and there are no admin fees."
"It means something to give to the library," Becker added.
Plus, that also means Mesa County Public Library Foundation accomplishes a lot on a very limited budget. Outside of Becker's salary, it's no more than $3,000. As the only paid staffer connected to the foundation, Becker also noted that the development director's salary is managed by the library district (it's not part of the Foundation's operations budget) and she also wears many hats outside of fundraising.
Mesa County Public Library Foundation additionally has an active, 13-member board, Becker said. And, without their numerous volunteer hours, programming through the foundation would be impossible to carry out.
"The library is just one of those things that a community needs," foundation board member and fundraising chair Kevin Bray said. "It's not unlike having good transportation and good health care. It's a pillar the community stands on."
Programs funded through the foundation include: The new Central Library Project Capital Campaign, the yearly summer reading program, the literacy program, plus events like "One Book, One Mesa County, in which books are chosen by the Mesa County Libraries system for the public to read and then participate in educational programming.
"We have developed a relationship with many donors, and the spirit of giving continues to grow," Becker wrote in an email. "The library's efforts to address new branches, added programs and services, etc., all make a difference in seeking funding."
Becker additionally said that "stewardship of partnerships and other related organizations help us to build awareness about the library's offerings."
For example, in March 2012 the foundation began a $1.25 capital campaign to support the Central Library remodel.
"We've raised over $1 million so far," Becker said. "We have $195,000 to go."
According to Bray, it's extremely important to raise the full amount needed to complete the remodel and expansion effort at Grand Junction's Central Library.
"I think we can do it," he said, "but we really need the help of the community."
Both Becker and Bray hope to have Central Library's construction completed this spring in time to kick off the ever-popular summer reading program.
"It's a pretty amazing project," Bray said. "With the expansion and remodel, it will be a building the community will be proud of."
Lots of upgrades are actually happening behind the new library walls, Bray added, including new technologies and wireless capabilities for building users.
"It becomes a really flexible space," he said, "and a nice community space, as well, for meetings and public gatherings. There will be more opportunities to invite the community in for different functions."
Like most nonprofits existing in a tight economy, Mesa County Public Library Foundation has seen its share of setbacks as well.
"Recent challenges include how to remain engaged in building our case of support knowing that current and loyal donors are dealing with the uncertain economy and their own sense of financial well-being," Becker said. "The Library Foundation is fortunate in that our current effort is underway and those who have helped in the past, and new donors, see themselves as making an incredible difference."
For more information about donating to the Mesa County Public Library Foundation, call Becker at 970-683-2438 or visit www.mesacountylibraries.org.

After showing signs of promise in the wet, Williams fell foul as the Monaco track dried out and finished at the bottom of the timesheets with Caterham and Marussia...
Valtteri Bottas: "The conditions were not good today as they were changing all the time. We made the most of what we had and although the car is not where we want it to be, we feel we're in a good position in terms of knowing the development direction to go. The race will be difficult with some quick cars starting behind us, but I'm confident we can still push forward and gain some positions in tomorrow's race."
Pastor Maldonado: " We were quick in Q1 as I know this track very well and in damp conditions I know where to take risks. As it was getting dry the car wasn't working as well though, as the front was locking quite a lot. I think the top ten was possible as there is some improvement, especially if it had stayed wet. It is looking good for the future though with the data we have gathered this weekend so far."
Giedo van der Garde: "I'm obviously very pleased to put my name into the Q2 timesheets for the first time this year and I want to thank Tony, Cyril and the whole team for the jobs everyone did today. Honestly, it's a great feeling, but it's still part of the learning process for me. I've said since the start of the season that I'd make progress, and today showed how far we've all come in just six races, and there's more to come.
"Saturday started pretty well and in FP3 we went out for a long-ish run on the softs straight away but, like Charles, for me the car was understeering a lot. I was having to use throttle to help turn the car so we made a couple of mechanical changes and from then it was a bit better, but the tyres weren't really coming in as much as we'd have liked, so we tried another mechanical change for quali and the results are pretty obvious!
"In Q1 we went out very early as there were reports of more showers coming. As it turned out that wasn't the case, but we timed the stop well and had about four more quick laps on the inters at the end of Q1, enough time to put myself into Q2.
"Q2 started with a bit more rain, so we again went for the inters, but after one lap I thought it was dry enough for slicks so we boxed, went onto the supersofts and was the first car to make the switch. For a while we were looking at Q3, but that's not where we are performance-wise yet, so we're all really happy with Q2.
"Sunday could be very interesting. I start between the two Williams cars of Bottas and Maldonado and I've had good starts all year, so hopefully I can have another good launch, avoid anything like the GP2 mess on Friday, and from there anything's possible. I finished on the podium here last year in GP2 and, while that's not going to happen this year, we will definitely be racing quite a few cars all afternoon."
Charles Pic: "First I want to say well done to Giedo and the whole team for the job everyone did today. It's obviously a bit disappointing I wasn't with my teammate in Q2 but it was very close and the team did a good job to give us both a chance today.
"This morning, FP3 was all about understeer for me. We started the session with quite a long run on the softs and the car was understeering everywhere, so we spent most of the session trying to dial that out and get a better balance. By the end of the session it was improving but even on the supersofts I still wasn't really getting everything out of it.
"In quali we went out early, first cars on track, and put in a good run on the inters with the times coming down throughout the session. We made the call to come in for a new set of inters with about five minutes left of Q1 but I couldn't quite get enough out in the last sector due to traffic, but 18th is still OK around Monaco. We've had good pace on the long runs here, and very good degradation levels on the tyres, so let's see what happens tomorrow."
Max Chilton: "After a good start on Thursday, today has been quite a big challenge with the tricky conditions we had in qualifying. Naturally I was hoping for a better grid slot because it's all about grid position in Monaco. I think I got the best out of the tyre too early and it just wasn't there at the end when the track was a bit drier. It's disappointing because it will be a long race tomorrow. The weather looks fine, so with a clean first lap I'll be hoping to make the best of any opportunities which come our way."
Jules Bianchi: "Of course I was hoping for a good shot at qualifying for my home race, so it is very disappointing to have to pull over so soon and not take part in the session. The Team aren't entirely sure of the full cause of the problem just yet but it was clear that I would not have been able to complete any laps, which is why they asked me to pull over. We have to wait to see what happens. I think it could be a very exciting race for everyone tomorrow; things have not been straightforward through the field so we have to remain focused and see what happens and then do the best job possible in what are tough circumstances"

55 Gallon - Bulging Eyes / Mouth Open
Hey guys.
Moved into a new place and had my Fresh Water tank professionally moved.
I had a few Tiger Barbs and a couple of small Loaches (Clown and Yoyos) in it. I do water changes weekly, I trade off doing 15% water changes, and 33% the following week.
About two months at the new location I decided to get a few new fishes from the store as water quality was good. One of the Cory cats I bought looked like his eyes were bulging out a bit. He went missing after about a week. Then I noticed that 3 of my Tiger Barbs had the same issue, plus they had there mouths swell up and stay open. I put them in a separate tank to make sure it wasn't spreading after about a week. Now I noticed my Yoyo loaches are starting to scratch themselves on plans and bogwood, and my tigers have become very lethargic. I did a 50% water change. Not sure if anyone has any recommendations.
All of the barbs that I took out have since died.
What are your most current water parameters?46 gal fw tank with black skirt tetras, neon tetras, spotted corys, cherry barbs, otoclinus, snails & 4 amano shrimp - plastic & live plants
5 gal QT
Remember: Our job is to take care of the water our fish live in

Inside the altering arena of science, one of the important criteria is always to be capable of express scientific findings all over the world. It is an recognized practice for several centuries by posting scientific findings in the science journal or possibly inside a appropriate technical publication.

It is also smart to be really stringent while using techniques to make certain quality review of all the published papers.

Hence, the planet will benefit, as science is constantly on the succeed.

1999 is the first year you can order Plymouth Prowler in something other than purple. Yellow is already available. Prowler Red and Prowler Black are due later.
Prowler's 3.5-litre V6 also powers Chrysler 300M and Chrysler LHS. Both debuted this year in new-generation formats, so Chrysler used the occasion to re-work the all-aluminum engine; it now makes 253 hp (up 39) and 255 lb.ft of torque (up by 24). For Prowler duty it's tuned to run on premium fuel, and customized with a quicker throttle cam, retuned intake and exhaust, and re-programmed engine management system. As last year the only tyranny is an automatic fitted with AutoStick. While it looks intimidating, the Prowler is easy and fun to drive, with great seat-of-the-pants acceleration and neat engine burble. But with its massive rear tires and smallish front ones it under-steers – like a pig.

The 70,000 square foot facility is composed of two wings joined by a large daylit atrium and houses the Welcome Center and International Student Office. General classrooms, faculty offices, and the language program are housed in the two-story south wing, while the three-story north wing houses the fashion and business programs as well as more classrooms and offices.
An aluminum and glass curtain wall system supported by structural steel elements create an open, column-free space and a daylit and transparent environment. A brise soleil on the Gateway Center's south facing courtyard facade allows for undisturbed views of the campus and optimized daylight inside. Meanwhile the building was sited to minimize disruption and the landscaping provides a natural habitat for flora and fauna, while infiltrating stormwater and minimizing heat island effect.

Occupy Des Moines plans to protest at the headquarters of the World Food Prize this week. They say the organization, which recognizes efforts at reducing world hunger, is focused on corporate agriculture and profits.
It's difficult to argue with the goals of the World Food Prize Foundation — to recognize people who have helped improve the quality and availability of food to reduce world hunger.

Mark Webber has no intention of playing wing man to team-mate Sebastian Vettel in Sunday's title showdown in Brazil.
Having qualified just ahead of his Red Bull team-mate in third place, Webber could either help or hinder the German at the start as they for track position.
That, though, may not be the only time the duo are in close quarters in a race where Vettel is attempting to clinch his third World title.
However, the German should not expect any favours from his Aussie team-mate as Webber says he'll be paying attention only to his own race.
"I think we focus on ourselves tomorrow and do the cleanest race I can. We know there is some tricky weather today," said Webber.
"I will be focusing entirely on my own cockpit."
However, all the teams face an added threat as heavy rain is forecast for Sunday's 71-lap race.
"We know Interlagos can be very hit and miss," Webber said of the weather.
"A little shower can generate from everywhere and surprise you. We could run all three types of tyres - wet, slicks and inters.
"We need to keep our eyes open tomorrow. That is what can happen. Whatever it is, it will be a good final grand prix of the year and I am looking forward to a good result."

Document Type
- Working Paper (2)
- Article (1)
- Geomorphologie (3) (remove)
- Response to the "Comment on 'Geoarchaeological and chronometrical evidence …' " by J.C. Carracedo et al. (2004)
- This paper is a reply to the comments made by Carracedo et al. (Quaternary Science Reviews 23, 2045-2049) to the original paper by Zöller, L., Suchodoletz, H.von & N. Küster (2003): Geoarchaeological and chronometrical evidence of early human occupation on Lanzarote (Canary Islands), Quaternary Science Reviews 22, 1299-1307. The reply copes with comments concerning chronometrical dating, the origin of investigated material and geomorphologic and geoarchaeologic problems.
- Geoarchaeological and chronometrical evidence of early human occupation on Lanzarote (Canary Islands) (2003)
- Two desert loess–paleosol sequences in sediment traps were investigated using (pedo-) stratigraphy, sedimentology, soil mineralogy and IRSL dating. So far we cannot recognise significant IRSL age-underestimates from the polymineral fine-grain fraction of our samples. We establish a first palaeoclimatic sequence spanning the past ca 200 ka which can be compared to data from other Canary Islands and surrounding areas, including terrestrial and deep sea records. More humid phases on Lanzarote are apparently triggered by Milankovich forcing, but the climate remained semi-arid to arid all over the past 200 ka. The onset of human occupation of the island during a slightly moister period is bracketed between 5 and 10 ka, based on the occurrence of archaeosediments containing bones of ovicaprid. This is the first proof of much earlier occupation than witnessed so far from archaeological records. The early subsidiary economy had a strong impact on soil stability and landscape shaping of the island.
- Geomorphological investigations of sediment traps on Lanzarote (Canary Islands) as a key for the interpretation of a palaeoclimate archive off NW Africa (2009)
- On Lanzarote (Canary Islands) Late Quaternary Saharan dust and volcanic material were trapped in Miocence to Pliocene valleys dammed by volcanic lava flows. These trapped sediments are potentially interesting as they can be natural archives useful to reconstruct the terrestrial palaeoclimate history of the NW African margin. Nevertheless, slope wash processes altered the primarily eolian deposits, making climatic interpretation not straightforward. Geomorphological mapping, GIS calculations and sedimentological investigations were used to unravel these processes influencing the temporal resolution of the palaeoclimatic archive, demonstrating that they average the palaeoclimatic signal by some ka. Thus, despite the colluvial geomorphic environment, the valley fillings can be used for palaeoclimatic interpretation of events with a length of at least some ka. The youngest sediments, deposited since at least 2.5 ka, are anthropogenically triggered and thus cannot be used for palaeoclimatic interpretation. The results show that the input of Saharan dust at Lanzarote increased during the last 1.0 Ma and especially during the Early/Middle Holocene.

Parent Friendly Features
I bought this for my baby half sister - she's a little over a year old and loved her new toy phone with all the lights and sounds - I found the sound a bit on the low side but it's loud enough for the kids to hear and not the entire household! So, perhaps that's a good thing and not a bad thing to possess some toys which have sound but not too noisy to cause mums a headache Lolz!
Colourful fun little phone. 3 simple modes with nice chunky buttons for little hands. Not too loud which is really good for when the little one holds the phone up to listen. Another great Vtech toy.
Our son enjoys playing with this, but it has just stopped working after 3 weeks, so we will now have to return it.
Great product flashing lights and noise is always a winner
My 9m boy loves it. When he's older he will be able to learn shapes, sounds and numbers with it. Right now he loves the flashing lights and the sounds it makes.

Justin Duchesneau and Philippe Allard have been working on projects together since 2009 and their latest FORÊT II (or Forest II) was completed just recently. The duo paired up to build a temporary pavilion for the Escales Improbables de Montréal festival, which was on display from September 2nd to the 11th. FORÊT II is a cubic space built from 810 reclaimed shipping pallets and covered with a lightweight wooden screen over the top. The open-air space featured four entrances that were aligned with the cardinal directions and four benches inside to provide a quiet space for contemplation. Daylight streams through the top and through the sides of the pallets to make the space airy and bright.
Both Duchesneau and Allard are concerned by ecological challenges, and they have created many public art installations and architectural solutions using found materials and objects. For Forest II, they teamed up with Quebec-based IPS, a shipping pallet recycler, to source their material. Allard further explained their installation: "It represents the empty and symbolic counter shape of a tree inside a cube made of salvaged wood crates. The installation is an impressive structure of light since the crates are empty. It becomes a place of meditation for anyone passing by and taking the time to sit down on one of the four benches. The light is filtered between the planks as it is between tree branches." The pallets, which are made from trees, are in turn transformed into a representation of a tree, and eventually they will be recycled and returned to the earth.

Risk Management
The Department of Risk Management provides current and future students the opportunity to explore risk analysis in a variety of environments with concentration offerings in Actuarial Science, Enterprise Risk Management, and Real Estate. The Department also offers two of the most popular minors at the University, the International Business (I B) minor and the Legal Environment of Business (LEBUS) Minor.
The research and disciplinary focus of the Department is on risk assessment, mitigation and management connecting disciplines such as actuarial science, business law, decision analysis, insurance, international business, and real estate. Our expert faculty members teach in all of these areas enabling students to be exposed to a variety of approaches and disciplines as they prepare for careers in many private and public sector fields.
Bachelor of Science degree in Risk Management (R M)
Risk Management is a rigorous program of study designed to prepare students for positions in production, finance or financial services (including actuarial science, risk management, and real estate), and government agencies that demand quantitative and qualitative skills needed to meet modern risk assessment requirements. Risk analysis touches a wide range of systems including management and control of enterprise risk, legal, political, economic, and property risk assessment.
Students in the Risk Management Major are required to elect one of three (3) options:
Actuarial Science (ACTSC), Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), or Real Estate (R EST). The added flexibility of selecting courses both within the Department and outside the College enables students to fine-tune their programs of study to meet personal and professional goals.
Actuarial Science (ACTSC) Option
This option stresses the application of mathematical and statistical concepts to the measurement of life and other risk contingencies, while at the same time giving students a broad understanding of the business environment.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Option
Enterprise Risk Management is a senior corporate function designed to increase the value of a firm through the optimal treatment of risk. ERM encompasses a variety of risks, including strategic, financial, hazard, and operational risks. Students majoring in ERM are prepared to work in corporate risk management departments, risk management consulting, regulatory compliance, and a variety of financial services industries, including insurance, personal credit, and benefits management.
Real Estate (R EST) Option
A wide range of professional opportunities in corporate real estate management, real estate brokerage, appraisal, risk management, mortgage lending and banking, development and governmental service are possible for students in this option.
