Are bus riders really upset that the OCTA is raising fares come February? You wouldn't know it.
On the bus, most people do not even know that the government is about to pick their pockets come February.
And I don't know which is sadder – that riders do not know this or, worse, don't care. Or that they have to ride the bus at all.
OK, that last part may just be me.
You see, I have not paid to get on a bus in, well, I cannot honestly remember. Does that make me lucky? Does it make me fortunate? After the other day, which I spent riding the No. 26 bus through parts of Fullerton and beyond, I must tell you that I kind of don't know.
The idea was to take up the challenge thrown down by bus riders at the Nov. 25 Orange County Transportation Authority meeting in which they begged board members to ride a bus – any bus – to experience what they experience: Fleets of habitually late, overcrowded and poorly maintained buses.
They were angered by the authority's decision that day to raise regular fares come Feb. 10 by 33 percent to $2, the cost of a $4 day pass to $5, and the price of a 30-day pass from $55 to $69.
I expected to uncover a legion of angry riders.
Yet, which bus line? I have no idea, really, how I ended up on Commonwealth Avenue or on the No. 26. I simply pulled over and parked my car.
Waiting in the bus kiosk, trying to avoid that morning's misting rain, was Ingrid Garner, 20. She sat next to her backpack and a folded-up scooter. She was on her way to Cal State Fullerton, where she is a junior theater major. It was a little before 10 a.m. The bus would not arrive for another 30 minutes. We chatted.
She rides the bus because she doesn't have a car, she said. It was stubbornness, she added. Because she can get to most places without a car, she just never had the will to learn how to drive.
"Until now," she quickly adds, saying she just got her license. "I just got tired of asking people for rides."
She is on the bus now because she hasn't enough money to buy a car. She works for minimum wage as a part-time librarian. She is saving, she said.
What I quickly found is the No. 26 is vastly populated with college students, who do not pay to ride the bus. The university provides a pass at the beginning of each semester. They, hardly the angry mob, could care less what the transportation authority does with rates.
I try a different tack.
What is the weirdest thing, I ask the young woman, has she ever encountered in her three years of riding the bus? Garner thinks for awhile.
"There is a lot, but it would have to be," she says, "this guy who kept staring at me and began referring to me as Minnie Mouse. And then he said he was going to shoot me twice in the head.

text: Hi, I'm not quite sure but it seems that http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/ARB/pixel_buffer_object.txt is something different than: http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/texture_buffer_object.txt Although the way of binding the buffer seems initially the same. I just want to use float's within my shader and beeing able to exchange the values quite fast. When storing floats within a sampler2d uniforms you have to reinitalise the texture each time you change a piece of your data (texture). When using texture buffer objects you just have to rebind the data object which is in my mind faster than texture reinitialization. See http://www.jotschi.de/?p=424 for a opengl example. I belive pbo's can't be used within glsl? Tbo's can. Maybe thats the difference? Thank you!

This is a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma arising in the mediastinum from putative thymic B-cell origin with distinctive clinical immunophenotypic and genotypic feature that allow a diagnosis to be confirmed on a small amount of tissues.

Under Your Spell
Okay, so the obvious thing here is that I had my hair cut. I know a few of you were very complimentary of my long hair but hopefully you will like the short hair as much.. I have left one side longer and have had all the ombre cut away so its just plain black... Maybe i'll experiment with the colour again soon (Suggestions?).
Outfit wise I am wearing an amazing and luxuriously warm coat and turquoise ring from Nelly.com, A faux leather skater skirt from Meemee.me, vintage blouse from my mother and chunky socks from asos.
Silver Clouds
Here is another beautiful dress from the new Fairground collection. This one has a beautiful pink and white pattern - pink not usually being my colour but im now converted to it! Love the fit of this dress and the added bow to the back is a cute touch! Take a look at their new website HERE to see the amazing collection. I am wearing this with white romwe tights and boots from Perche.

National Science Foundation
In response to one of the worst wildfires in Colorado history, scientists from the Warner College of Natural Resources at Colorado State University (CSU) are leading a first of its kind, large-scale wildfire impact study on the High Park Fire in partnership with Colorado's newest research facility, the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The study will provide critical data to communities still grappling with how to respond to major water quality, erosion and ecosystem restoration issues in an area spanning more than 136 square miles.
Supported by a National Science Foundation RAPID grant, the collaboration will integrate airborne remote sensing data collected by NEON's Airborne Observation Platform with ground-based data from a targeted field campaign conducted by CSU researchers. RAPID, short for Grants for Rapid Response Research, are used for proposals having a real urgency, including quick-response research on natural disasters. This effort is the first time a comprehensive airborne remote sensing system of this caliber will be used to enhance research on wildfire causes and impacts. The system will be able to detect remaining vegetation, identify plant species, ash cover, soil properties and other details to help illustrate how the fire burned -- over the span of the entire fire scar.

The Northwest Trails project covers most of the Pacific Northwest as well as some adjacent inland areas, including BC. However, the data for BC is sadly lacking compared to other areas. Whereas I have been able to get a lot of GIS for trails in the US, I have had a hard time finding the same for BC. Does anyone know of a good source of reliable GIS data or high-quality rectified trail maps for the province? My web searches have so far only turned up a scattering of isolated trails so far.

I really wish there was. There are a few sites that are user based that were trying to build up a database of gpx files of waypoints/routes. This one - trail.brijn.nu/index.php - Didn't get very far along but the mapping part of it was pretty cool. There is the ability here - www.clubtread.com/Routes/ - To upload gpx files, and download waypoints. No downloading of route files yet, but it's supposed to be coming soon. Club Tread is pretty active so I expect the database to get pretty large after awhile. Need to be a paid member to access most of the info here - www.bivouac.com/ - Lots of waypoints available. Mostly used by climbers, but lots of details on road access to pretty much anything climable. Haven't used this site much - www.trailpeak.com/index.jsp?cat=def - If you join and share gpx data with them, you gain the ability to download from them. None of this is quite what you're looking for and none of them are compatible with my gps like your project is, but there is some info availble to you out there. I'd love to see your project grow and I've been checking your website on and off since I first saw your post on the gc.com forum. Hope some/any of this helps.

So, not only are we getting EA's most popular racing franchise given the silver screen treatment but Sony Computer Entertainment's too!?
We first heard some sketchy details back in July, but now the Gran Turismo movie is picking up momentum with Columbia Pictures sourcing screen writer Alex Tse to write the script.
Tse is best known for Zack Snyder's 2009 Watchmen adaptation, as well as the Crow remake and live action Ninja Scroll adaptation.
According to Polyphony Digital CEO and Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi, the plot will revolve around an avid gamer who uses the skills he learn playing GT to become a professional racer. Crazy Hollywood plot right? Well, it's actually inspired by the life of a dude called Lucas Ordoñez, who did just that!
That's about all the information available at the moment but stay tuned to Player Attack for any new developments.

No religious organization protested the nuptials of the serial killer and rapist on Death Row, even though murder is considered the most extreme Biblical sin.
John Wayne Gacy received a number of marriage proposals while in prison. He didn't accept any, but had he, neither faith nor law would have stood in his way, or suggested his marriage somehow tainted the institution of wedlock.
This isn't true for gays, who are denied the right to marry in most of the United States, with the exception of seven states: Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Iowa and Washington, as well as Washington, D.C. Eleven states — including Illinois — allow civil unions, which offer the legal protections of marriage.
Two lawsuits are challenging that in Illinois, and on Thursday Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez, whose job typically would be to fight such suits, announced that she won't, because the state law barring gays from marriage is indeed unconstitutional.
Here's why: The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution offers what is referred to as the "equal protection clause." "No state shall . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
This is the clause that allowed the federal government to get involved with the civil rights struggle in the 1950s.
Now gay Americans are traveling the same long road. Prior to 1969, gays were forced to live secret lives. Homosexual acts were illegal, gays were barred from employment and housing. They weren't even allowed to drink together in a bar.
That began to change in 1969, when patrons of New York's Stonewall Inn, rather than accept the usual police raid, fought back, and the skirmish became a rallying point for gays.
The AIDS crisis further stoked their visibility. In the face of government indifference to the plague, standing up for themselves became literally an issue of life or death.
Various states and cities enacted laws making it illegal to discriminate against gays in housing and employment. Few argue today that gays shouldn't hold jobs; keeping them from marrying still has support. Alvarez might be reluctant to uphold the ban, but some religious groups are eager to step in and continue legal harassment of gays.
The Chicago-based Thomas More Society, named for the English saint who pushed for papal authority over secular government, called Alvarez's announcement "a crass political move to force same-sex marriage on all Illinoisans," in a posting on its website, adding the group is "preparing legal papers to defend the law and prevent this collusive end run around the will of the people of Illinois and their General Assembly."
Framing popular bigotries as a expression of public will has a long history. The South used states' rights and popular desire as a defense of slavery, then, for a century, as an argument against civil rights for blacks. In 1958, 96 percent of whites were against mixed marriages.
The strategy of using popular vote against gay rights has a dwindling shelf life. American public opposition to gay marriage has begun to crumble, particularly in places where gay marriage is legal, and the public has seen the lack of actual repercussions.
Gay marriage was ruled legal in Iowa in 2009, a situation that many in the state want to change by creating a constitutional amendment barring it.
A Des Moines Register poll this year found 56 percent of Iowans oppose a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, while 38 percent support it. Polls show similar numbers across the country, representing a significant shift — a decade ago those numbers would have been flipped.
What underlies this change, despite long-standing religious objections, is that marriage of gays does not have any demonstrable negative effects — the constant claims that straight marriage is somehow undermined rest on a leap of faith that a dwindling number of Americans are willing to make, once they recognize the gays among their own families and friends, the falsity of the religious opposition becomes apparent.
Arguments that gays shouldn't marry because they can't have children, or because they make bad parents, upon examination are seen for what they are: hypocritical feints crafted especially to use against gays. Nobody opposes the marriage of the infertile because they can't bear children. Nor does anyone, particularly conservatives, otherwise urge the government to embark upon deciding who would make a good parent.
Alvarez's action is unprecedented — no state's attorney has previously declined to argue a gay marriage case. Then again, Illinois has a long history of pioneering in the acceptance of gays — it was the first state, in 1962, to decriminalize homosexual acts.
At the time, a Northwestern University assistant law professor, Claude R. Sowle, told the Sun-Times, "The law should not be cluttered with matters of morality so long as they do not endanger the community. Morality should be left to the church, community and the individual's conscience."
No opponent of gay marriage can offer a persuasive explanation of why that no longer holds true.

Breastfeeding: Can low milk supply be due to a thyroid problem?
My wife is worried that she is not making enough milk. She was advised to get a blood test to check her thyroid. Is this a concern? What could the tests show?Question:
Debbi Donovan
Debbi Donovan is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader. For more than a decade, Debbi... Read more
Many mothers worry that they aren't producing enough milk for their babies. Her best bet is to get it looked at with the help of a lactation consultant.
Two excellent indicators of an adequate milk supply are output and pattern of weight gain. Most babies regain their birth weight by two weeks, and then gain an average of four to eight ounces each week. In the first five to six weeks of life, babies typically wet six to eight diapers and have at least two to three bowel movements each day. Around the six week point they wet five to six diapers, and their stooling pattern often begins to change. Breastfed babies may stool less frequently, but they have regular, and often quite substantial bowel movements. A baby's weight gain stays fairly constant (averaging four to eight ounces per week) throughout the first three to four months of his life. Around that time it slows to three to four ounces of weight gain per week. From 6 to 12 months of age, weight gain averages 1.5 to 3 ounces per week. If your baby is healthy, happy and within these ranges, your milk supply is probably fine. If not, your baby needs to be evaluated by his doctor. Your Lactation Consultant and Pediatrician can work together to assure the best outcome for the breastfeeding relationship and your baby's health.
If you're concerned about a low milk supply, consider the following:
- Is your baby nursing at least 10 to 12 times in a 24-hour period? It is normal for young babies to nurse every hour and a half to two hours. That's about the amount of time it takes for breast milk to be digested. Clustering of feeds, especially in the evening hours is also very common.
- What is your baby's pattern of feeding? Allow your baby to come off the first breast offered on his own, without timing the feed. Offer the other breast, and when he seems relaxed and satisfied, you can switch back to the first side offered. Use these as guidelines only. Watch your baby. Allow him to control the feed. As long as he isn't (consistently) falling asleep a few minutes into nursing, your baby knows when he has had enough. Follow his lead, whether that means nursing from one breast or more.
- Are you and your baby comfortable while breastfeeding? While all of these are important, if positioning and attachment isn't right, there can be lots of problems! Sore nipples after the first week of nursing are a sign that some changes are needed in this area. Your baby needs to feel well-supported while nursing. Tickle his lower lip with your nipple, and when his mouth is opened wide, like a yawn, hug him to your breast, so that he takes in a good mouthful, with at least one inch of your areola. His nose and chin should be resting on your breast. Rather than pressing on your breast to make an airway -- which pulls your nipple from your baby's mouth -- cuddle your baby's bottom in closer to your body. Don't worry about his breathing-- a baby's little pug nose, doesn't need a large space to breathe easily while nursing. When your baby nurses, listen for his pattern of sucking and swallowing. As your milk ejects, you will hear your baby swallowing after every suck, with some pauses in between. If you feel your baby's sucking slows too early in the feed, some breast massage as he nurses, from the outer portion toward your nipple, can get your milk flowing and will encourage him to continue nursing.
Still, if your wife is worried about a low milk supply and has ruled out the basics, it would be a good idea to have her thyroid function checked. In a nursing mom, an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to a poor milk supply. Common symptoms of low thyroid function can include swelling of the thyroid, dry skin, fatigue, depression, and intolerance to cold. If blood tests show that your wife does indeed have an underactive thyroid, there are medications that can be used to correct this condition while continuing to breastfeed.Answer:

The fire-damaged container ship MSC Flaminia has been declared safe for passage through the English Channel but is awaiting approvals from nations along the ship's route to Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
"These permissions are expected in the next few days," said Reederei NSB, the vessel's owner. Until then, Smit Salvage will continue to prepare the ship to be towed through the channel.
The MSC Flaminia caught fire July 14 en route from Charleston to Europe. Two crewmembers died, and three were injured, one critically. Three cargo holds were gutted by the fire, the cause of which remains under investigation.
The ship's owner declared general average, meaning all parties will share in losses from the accident. The MSC Flaminia is chartered to Mediterranean Shipping Co. The vessel has capacity of 6,732 20-foot-equivalent units.
While salvors worked to extinguish fires and assessed damage, the ship and its accompanying tugs have remained about 40 nautical miles off Britain's western tip.
Reederei NSB said Germanischer Lloyd has confirmed the ship's stability and safety for towing through the English Channel.
The vessel's owner said the situation on board the ship continues to improve. Temperatures in the ship's No. 7 cargo hold were 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit), and salvage workers no longer were required to employ specialized personal protection equipment aboard the vessel.
Reederei NSB said it and the German Central Command for Maritime Emergencies were monitoring the condition of the ship and its cargo and that, "The prevention of harm to the population and the environment is the top priority during all further stages of the salvage."

Classic Car Travel PreparationTaking an old car on a road trip
Old cars are a delight to see in Museums, but for me the real fun involves taking one on a trip. It's always an adventure. You never know what's going to happen, and it can be a test of your perseverance and resourcefulness. A case in point involved my trip from Hamilton, Virginia, to York, Pennsylvania, in early June, in my 1934 Ford coupe. My goal was the National Street Rod Association's East Coast Nationals, which attracts me every year, along with about 5,000 other entrants and a huge crowd of spectators.
My '34 Ford Coupe
I had bought this car last fall, from a friend in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, who wasn't using it much, and I had only driven it around town, never over 55 mph, and probably not over 20 miles on a single trip. It's just an old hot rod, with a supercharged Mercury flathead engine and a '39 Ford floor shift transmission. The top has been chopped three inches; it sits low thanks to a dropped front axle and modified springs. There's no paint, just gray primer with flattener, no windshield wipers, no seatbelts (yet), no radio, heater, nor defroster...and no jack or spare tire. It's pretty basic. Kind of like a car a high school kid would have built in the Fifties.
I always carry a few tools, spare oil, and usually a battery box, but I had just charged the battery so I took the tools and left the jump starter at home (bad idea).
Even though I'd never driven this car more than 25 miles before, that didn't deter me. From my home in Virginia, through part of Maryland, past Gettysburg then east to York is only about 120 miles each way. Piece of cake, right? Wrong...
Things Heat Up
Heading up Route 15 over the mountains, one side of the engine began overheating. I should mention that there are two temperature gauges, one in each cylinder head. Being an old flathead hand, I thought there might be a head gasket problem or an internal crack. But the coolant was topped up and the temperature, which had hovered at the 210-220-mark, came down as I descended toward Gettysburg. The engine was too hot to put any sealer in the radiator, so I slowed to 50 mph (which seemed to help), added a quart of oil, and soldiered on.
It was just as well because by then I was dealing with a clutch that had slipped out of adjustment. By carefully double-clutching, I could still shift without grinding gears. At this point, I reckoned once I got to York I could use a jack and jackstands courtesy of the Michigan Street Rod Association. They offer a repair facility at every NSRA event-and free advice, too.
Minor Adjustments
Once I arrived at York, I borrowed a jack and adjusted the clutch. For the pinhole leak, I bought a container of Barr's Stopleak (old-fashioned, but it works!). When I arrived at my motel and turned off the car, I discovered I had a dead battery. It was fully charged before I left, but it had gone flat once over the winter, despite occasional attention with a battery tender, so I should have been more wary. I was able to jumpstart the car with borrowed cables and drove two miles to an auto parts store. By this time, it had started to rain, really hard.
At the parts store, I bought a new battery, as close in size to the old one as possible. Unfortunately, in this car the battery lives in a cubby under the drivers' floorboard. The new battery was 1/4-inch too big all around. It was still raining, and the hold-down clamp was wedged under a crossmember. How they'd ever gotten it in, I don't know. I finally managed to bend the bracket sufficiently to remove the old battery and shoehorn in the new one. Then I remade the bracket, outside in the rainstorm, and the coupe (mercifully) fired right up. The people at the parts store generously let me use their employee lounge to change my wet and dirty clothes.
Rain and Show
I was number 4757, and people were still arriving despite the deluge, so there was a lot to see. I felt sorry for the roadster boys, but I was snug and dry, except for a small rear window leak. The next afternoon, a friend accidentally slammed his '40 Ford coupe door on my arm while he was demonstrating how well it fit (my wrist was okay, just badly bruised) and not long afterward, I broke my glasses! Soon I was driving home in the still pelting rain, with no wipers (thank goodness for Rain-X). Peering through the narrow windshield, listening to the rumble of the glasspacks and straining to see through the mist, comforted by the dim instrument lights, I felt as though I were back in high school driving my old '40 coupe. It was a nice feeling.
Homeward Bound
On the plus side, the block sealer seemed to do the trick. I motored merrily along at 65 mph with the left-hand temperature at 170-175 degrees all the way at 65 mph; the right side was 160 degrees, so I think it's pretty nearly fixed. The new battery was fine, of course. I actually had a decent charge going any time the engine was turning higher than 2,500 rpm. It pinged under hard acceleration, so I'll adjust the timing when I get home, maybe change the plugs too.
Best of all, the engine really started to come alive about mid-way home. I think just running it made a big difference. Like many old cars, after a couple of hundred miles, and a tank of fresh high-test laced with Marvel Mystery Oil, all that storage carbon goes away and you're left with a happy motor. And a happy driver.
So other than a few glitches, I had a really good time. Aren't old cars fun?

Series creator Alan Bateman passes away
Bosses at Seven have paid tribute to Home and Away series creator Alan Bateman, who has passed away after a battle with cancer.
Home and Away series creator Alan Bateman has passed away following a battle with cancer, it has been confirmed today.
As the show celebrates nearly 25 years of production, Tim Worner - the CEO of Australia's Seven Network Television - has said that it will remain Alan's legacy.
'In an industry built on legends, Alan Bateman was a trail blazer.
'Home and Away, conceived, developed and executive produced by Alan during its critical early seasons will ensure his history and that of the iconic series are forever linked.
'When Alan was in charge of a production, everyone had fun.
'That spirit lives on inside Home and Away today.'
Alan came up with the idea for Home and Away in 1987, during a stop-off in the quiet town of Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales. After being inspired by a chat with the locals, he spent the following months developing his ideas into story form; nearly 25 years later the series, which was first screened in 1988, holds the record of being the second longest-running drama on Australian television, with a dedicated the following the world over.

In an effort to upgrade its fixed wing transport capabilities, California Shock Trauma Air Rescue (CALSTAR) has purchased a Beechcraft B200 Super King Air. The airplane will replace a Cessna 421B aircraft currently operated by the company. "The addition of the King Air to our fleet helps us continue our fixed wing transport growth, but even more importantly it helps us extend our mission of delivering excellent patient care to a larger population of patients that need our service," said Tad Henderson, CALSTAR's chief operations officer.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-61 turbine engines, the aircraft boasts a maximum service altitude of 35,000 feet and it can cruise at speeds in excess of 345 mph. "The altitude and speed combination offers non-stop service to destinations in excess of 1,000 nautical miles," said Jim Arthur, director of Flight Operations.
The airplane was previously owned by a corporation for the purpose of business travel and is presently undergoing a conversion process to serve CALSTAR's life-saving mission as an air ambulance. Arthur said upgrades include medical crew seating for four and advanced life support equipment designed to carry up to two adult patients or two neonatal incubators. He added that the cockpit is undergoing a complete upgrade to a Garmin G 1000 avionics system, including weather radar, satellite tracking and telephone and traffic alerting, as well as advanced GPS capabilities and synthetic vision.
Arthur further noted that as an additional convenience to CALSTAR's medical center clients, the aircraft will be equipped with a powered loading system that will greatly enhance the safety and efficiency of loading patients that are immobilized on a gurney.
The Super King Air will be placed into service immediately following the air ambulance conversion process. "We anticipate an August 1 completion date," Arthur said. (B200 File Photo)

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

US Consumer Confidence Rises To 5-year High
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ U.S. consumers are optimistic the unemployment rate will drop over the next 12 months, boosting their confidence to the highest level in five years.
The University of Michigan says its consumer sentiment index ticked up to 82.7 this month from 82.6 in October. The index has increased 19 percentage points in the past year.
Optimism about the job market is high. Of those surveyed, 30 percent expect the unemployment rate will fall over the next 12 months. That matches October's percentage and is the highest since 1984.Still, consumers are concerned about the "fiscal cliff," the combination of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect at the beginning of next year. If the White House and Congress don't reach a deal to avoid the cliff, confidence could fall.

My five-year old students are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a Zoo Book and said... "Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!'
I took a deep breath, and then asked..."What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does...

It's festival time again! For the past 34 years, Frostbite Music Society has been creating a unique festival experience for Yukon artists and audiences, bringing performers from across the country to Whitehorse for an unforgettable weekend in the heart of Yukon winter.
Frostbite celebrates its 35th festival with nationally acclaimed acts and a diverse selection of local talent brought together for three days of performances, sessions and workshops.
The Society
The Frostbite Music Society is made up of a board of directors and a loyal volunteer corps. Throughout the fall and winter board members meet weekly at the society's cozy digs in Shipyards Park. Formerly the house of Harry "Shorty" Chambers, this modest, two-story log cabin was moved and then renovated almost entirely by Frostbite volunteers.
The Volunteers
It may sound cliché, but it's true: Frostbite would not be around if it weren't for its volunteers. Over the course of a festival weekend, over 150 volunteers can be seen slinging beer, hawking t-shirts, cooking up feasts, sorting the cardboard from the plastic, shuttling musicians to and fro… and that's just skimming the surface. Frostbite volunteers work hard, play hard and deserve credit for making the festival what it is.
Board of Directors
President - Jennifer Solomon Vice President - Andrew Stratis Treasurer - Renèe-Claude Carrier Secretary - Tara McCarthy Director - Michael Bellon Director - Adam Humphrey

The proposed research looks at how the state has boosted land and housing development and has used that opportunity to facilitate the primitive accumulation of capital in the context of a developing country.
The project is based on the assumption that land and housing policies open a venue for the primitive accumulation of capital at the early stage of late industrialisation. The project aims to illustrate this point using a case study of South Korea during the 1970s, a decade during which the country experienced rapid industrialisation.

May 13th, 2008 by Lianne
|Name: Lianne Sentar; head editor, writer, complainer
Age: 26
E-mail: email@example.com
Got her degree in: Chemistry
Actually does as a job: Thinks up synonyms for "argh."
Tastes like: Lianne has spent the past 8 years as an editor/writer in the manga industry, yet still can't predict what will sell to save her life. She likes all kinds of shoujo, tactical video games, the ballet, and YOUR MOM LAST NIGHT.
|Name: NotHayama; writer, hater of everything
Age: 26
E-mail: just leave a comment
Got her degree in: Music
Actually does as a job: Manga consultant/dealer for libraries, specializing in not sending yaoi to the 12-year-olds who request it.
Tastes like: NotHayama wishes she could enjoy more manga, but so much of it sucks and her bitter, shriveled heart won't let her overlook that. She loves anti-porn (aka super chaste, well-meaning media) and hates being told she resembles Hayama from Kodocha. She would kill for a good manga version of Jane Eyre.
Orange Skirt
Age: 19
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com; Website: http://orangeskirt.livejournal.com
Day job: Student/shopgirl
A wise man once said, there are three ways to deal with Orange Skirt: you can argue with her, you can argue at her, or you can stand by while she judges you. As a child, Orange Skirt was able to get away with far too much, and as an adult, that hasn't changed. It is agreed upon that she either has incredible luck, or a mass conspiracy working in her favor. She would like to believe the former. Her favorite color is rubine red, and she loves magical girls more than you will ever know. She has never understood the appeal of keeping her voice down. SHE LIKES TO READ IN HER SPARE TIME.
Age: 25
E-mail: she doesn't want creeps like you to find her
Day job: Graphic designer
Amethist is mostly responsible for the site design of Sleep is for the Weak, although her templates are often ruined by Lianne's stupidity and thus she doesn't want credit for the abomination that results. Too late! She likes a good cosplay and a good steak. She's been known to speak first, smile big, and then apologize profusely for all the people, places, and things she irreparably offended. Resident Phoenix Wright fangirl and all-around "wacky bastard." Good for parties.
Age: Ripe

Day job: Lime
Raised by a group of experimental human/lime hybrids that escaped a nuclear testing plant somewhere far away, Lime-kun was captured at the tender age of one and a half and taught the various ways of a citrus fruit. Since then he has decided to wear a ridiculously large lime-like hat and run around the fields of Japan with a butterfly-catching net. He would also like to note there are no further connotations to his citrus references beside the connotation that limes are green.
Adamus Prime
Age: 25

Adamus hasn't been a part of this site for years, but we keep him on this page for posterity and his awesome avatar.
…And yes, yes, because we still love him, yes.

Market Vectors Reduces Expense Cap For Emerging Markets Local Currency ETF (EMLC)
Van Eck Associates Corporation lowered the expense cap for its Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency ETF (NYSE Arca: EMLC) from 49 basis points (bps) to 47 bps, effective September 1, 2012. The expense cap is effective through September 1, 2013 and excludes certain expenses, such as interest.
EMLC seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMG Core Index (GBIEMCOR), a rules-based, market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to be investible and includes only those countries that are accessible by most of the international investor base.
"We're pleased to lower EMLC's expense cap, which already had the lowest net expense ratio among the EM local currency and dollar-denominated ETFs in the marketplace," said Adam Phillips, Chief Operating Officer of Market Vectors ETFs. "Wherever possible, we look to reduce fees and expenses and pass those savings along to investors."
EMLC was the first U.S.-listed ETF to focus on local currency-denominated bonds of emerging markets governments at the time of its launch, and currently has over $791 million in AUM. The Fund was recently joined in the Market Vectors ETF lineup by another first-of-its-kind offering in emerging markets, Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: HYEM), launched in May 2012 which seeks to track an index that focuses exclusively on dollar-denominated high-yield corporate bonds issued by companies from emerging markets countries. Together, EMLC and HYEM provide two different ways to invest in emerging markets debt."The development of EM debt markets over the past several years has been impressive", said Ed Lopez, Marketing Director at Market Vectors ETFs. "Low default rates among corporate bond issuers, investment grade credit ratings among most sovereign issuers in EMLC's index and generally higher yields currently than comparable developed world issuers make a compelling case for investing in emerging market bonds."

Dead TownTalk0
this wiki
Dead Town
Dead Town is a location in Jak II. It primarily consists of leftover ruins outside Haven City's walls, filled with mud, rubble and hostile creatures. It is the Haven-era equivalent of where once lay Sandover Village but was destroyed in an assault by the Metal Heads and subsequently abandoned by order of the city's ruler Baron Praxis.
Pre-Jak IIEdit
The section of the city was destroyed during a battle where Metal Heads broke through the City Walls and moved towards the Sacred Site. In response, Baron Praxis sealed the area off from the city, leaving anyone who had not already evacuated for dead. The Shadow stayed behind and through unknown means managed to stop the assault.
Jak IIEdit
Upon first meeting Torn, Jak and Daxter receive a mission to steal Baron Praxis' banner from the top of the ruined temple in Dead Town in order to prove themselves worthy to join the Underground. After some initial difficulties, including glubs, znorkle tooth and crumbling platforms, they manage to retrieve the banner and ruin the tower in the same process. There is a humorous reference here in that Jak and Daxter attempt a victory "dance", similar to the dances they perform after obtaining a Power Cell in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, after grabbing the Baron's flag, but the tower begins to collapse, thus interrupting the victory.
Later, when Torn receives a report of creatures moving towards the Sacred Site for a second time, he sends Jak and Daxter on a mission to stop the creatures. After fighting their way through many Metal Heads, they arrive at the Sacred Site. To their surprise, the Sacred Site is Samos' hut, which leads them to the important realization that Dead Town is their past home.
Jak and Daxter are once more sent to Dead Town by Samos in order to retrieve the Life Seed, which is required for the younger Samos so that he can truly awaken as a Sage and ask the plants in Haven Forest vital questions about their future. They use the Titan Suit to get to Samos' hut, where they find the Life Seed.
Jak 3Edit
Dead Town is no longer accessible by the time of Jak 3 due to the construction of New Haven. When the Haven City maps of Jak II and 3 are compared, the entrance to the Sewers in New Haven to the northeast has replaced the entrance to Dead Town. The area is, however, visible from the KG War Factory, and it appears much the same except for the fact that the water is somewhat cleaner.
Dead Town is effectively the ruins of a small civilization, the result of Baron Praxis abandoning it and rebuilding the city's walls further back. By the time Jak first enters the site, near the beginning of the game, it is in ruins and consists mainly of decaying buildings, harmful mud, and overgrowing weeds such as bulrushes. It is not explicitly stated where this mud came from, but is possibly waste from the city. The site, being outside the city's walls, is home to Metal Heads among other dangerous creatures. If you look carefully at the ends of the entire area, you'll notice the remains of the old Shield Wall with holes and sections missing while some parts of it connects to the new wall.
Precursor OrbsEdit
None of Dead Town's eight Precursor orbs can be collected until the mission Get Life Seed in Dead Town as two require the use of the Titan Suit and the other six require the JET-Board.
