Teaching Artificial Intelligence: An Ever-Changing Challenge
Russell Brandom of The Verge recently wrote, "Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has been pondering artificial intelligence since he was a kid. In the late '60s, eerily intelligent computers were everywhere, whether it was 2001′s HAL or Star Trek's omnipresent Enterprise computer. As Allen recalls in his memoir, 'machines that behaved like people, even people gone mad, were all the rage back then.' He would tag along to his father's job at the library, overwhelmed by the information, and daydream about 'the sci-fi theme of a dying or threatened civilization that saves itself by finding a trove of knowledge.' What if you could collect all the world's information in a single computer mind, one capable of intelligent thought, and be able to communicate in simple human language?" Read more

Elder Christofferson's Edit Suggests Some GA Doesn't Dislike All Feminists
As you've probably heard, Elder Christofferson's Conference talk a couple of weeks ago originally included a swipe at "some feminist thinkers," who he claimed "view homemaking with outright contempt." This statement was edited in the printed version to be aimed at a more nebulous "some" who view homemaking with outright contempt. This change seems like a clear win for feminists, as the written record, which will likely be referred to far more often than the audio and video recordings of the spoken talk, now no longer has an explicit mention of feminists in a negative light.
But I think an even more positive outcome of the edit is what came out of the explanation for it. Here's Peggy Fletcher Stack quoting Ruth Todd, Church spokesperson:
Church editors had suggested to the apostle that "referencing 'some feminist thinkers' would inevitably be read by many as 'all feminist thinkers,' " Todd explained in a statement. "Elder Christofferson agreed and has simply clarified his intent."
Okay, so call me a cynic, but I thought that Elder Christofferson's original intent was to do precisely what Todd's statement says he wanted to avoid: put down all feminists while using the word "some" to maintain plausible deniability. I really doubt, then, that the edit originated with Elder Christofferson. But whether or not I'm right, the important point in Todd's statement is that whoever originated the edit did not want it to be thought that Elder Christofferson was putting down all feminist thinkers. This suggests that there are some other feminist thinkers who the editor of the talk thought should not be put down. I think this is huge! Since when has any word from the general level of the Church had anything positive to say about any feminists or feminism? I thought President Packer's view of feminists as one of the big three enemies of the Church reigned supreme, with others like Elder Nelson clearly subscribing to the view that feminists oppose all that is true and right in the world. Ruth Todd's statement gives me a glimmer of hope that some GA somewhere does not want all feminists to be painted with a broad negative brush.

some feminist thinkers very probably do view homemaking with outright contempt. whatever. some feminist thinkers probably don't. sure am glad i don't have to give conference talks, but i also agree with your assessment. just saying, as a feminist thinker, you know.
Some Mormon bloggers always ascribe the worst motives to the General Authorities of the church.
Or do I mean "all"? I suppose it doesn't matter, since someone who can figure these things out can tell me what I really meant.
It is also interesting that the following footnote was added to that statement.
It is true that many women over many generations have been exploited or saddled with unfair burdens both in family and employment, but selflessness and sacrifice need not and should not become abusive or exploitative. Elder Bruce C. Hafen observed: "If being 'selfless' means a woman must give up her own inner identity and personal growth, that understanding of selflessness is wrong. … But today's liberationist model goes too far the other way, stereotyping women as excessively independent of their families. A more sensible view is that husbands and wives are interdependent with each other. … The critics who moved mothers from dependence to independence skipped the fertile middle ground of interdependence. Those who moved mothers from selflessness to selfishness skipped the fertile middle ground of self-chosen service that contributes toward a woman's personal growth. Because of these excesses, debates about the value of motherhood have, ironically, caused the general society to discount not only mothers but women in general" ("Motherhood and the Moral Influence of Women" [remarks to the World Congress of Families II, Geneva, Plenary Session IV, Nov. 16, 1999], http://worldcongress.org/wcf2_spkrs/wcf2_hafen.htm).
I think this is interesting because it gives a slightly more nuanced view of feminism and motherhood and clarifies that homemaking can be demeaning if women are exploited by others.
Great catch on the footnote. It got me wondering what other nuances might be buried in the footnotes, so I quickly went through all of the October 2013 conference talks to see. The overwhelming majority of talks contain either no footnotes or only citations. Elder Christofferson actually had two other expository footnotes. Elders Cook, Anderson, and Nelson all had expository footnotes. A few of them qualified statements made in the body of the talk (e.g. Cook–Innocent people too can be enslaved). But most were basically excerpts that had been removed from the body of the talk to meet time constraints. Still, its an interesting exercise to see what the brethren wish they had time to say.
"Some" people have used the extreme views of "some" feminists to discount all feminists and more regrettably women's issues at all. I feel like the church is evolving in its views towards feminists and more widely women's issues. At least I am hopeful they are. But I have to admit that I am so tired of "some" people painting feminists with such a broad negative brush and using that as an excuse to ignore the real women's issues that need addressing.
…whoever originated the edit did not want it to be thought that Elder Christofferson was putting down all feminist thinkers. This suggests that there are some other feminist thinkers who the editor of the talk thought should not be put down. I think this is huge!
Great point! It suggests movement. But I think we also need to consider that this is a kind of sweet and sour way to both play to the orthodox while placating criticism. There are two audiences and the larger are chapel Mormons and once bias is spoken from the GC the damage has been done, they are unlikely to even hear or care about the edit.
Ziff, I agree that this was an encouraging development, for both the reasons you mentioned. Great post!
Just means enough press was given to OW that Church PR is taking them seriously. That or enough women are leaving the church–I've heard anywhere from 60-80%–GAs are walking on egg shells to keep them in.
After all who will cook for the ward Christmas party?

And if you are going to use just one site, the disreputable ESPN is maybe the worst site to use on any subject. That goes for sports or anything else. They do not really cover sports, they push an agenda usually based on what ever they happen to be airing. You are right he did jump up out of the blue in the rankings. Still to put him 6th, you are saying he is better than two of Wiggins, Randle, Parker, Gordon, Vonleh, C.Walker, Hill. I can not see it myself.

Sometimes Hollywood seems like the smallest place on earth. If you've ever seen celebrities backslapping on the red carpet or even sat through a season of Entourage, you might conclude that everyone in the movie business knows everyone else. Take Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Between them, they've made 70 films. They own homes within an hour of each other in the south of France. And they both live with actors, which you'd think would expand their A-list circles further. But it wasn't until last November that the costars of The Tourist actually met. ''We're both not that social,'' says Jolie. ''I don't think either one of us goes out of our house, especially in France. We're both locked away.'' Adds Depp: ''So much has been written about Angie and Brad. They're sort of the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton of our era. I knew she was a big star, but I didn't know what to expect...''
We take for granted that if two movie stars are big enough and beautiful enough they will have instant chemistry on screen. And when the PG-13 romantic thriller hits theaters on Dec. 10, the world will find out whether Depp and Jolie arguably the biggest male and female stars on the planet will have that indefinable spark. Until then, though, there's a story worth sharing. The story of how Angie met Johnny.
As with most $100 million-plus Hollywood productions, The Tourist took a byzantine path to theaters. It began in 2005 with a French film called Anthony Zimmer a Hitchcockian import starring Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal that barely made a ripple on this side of the Atlantic. Still, the pretzel-like wrong-man thriller about a money launderer on the run from detectives and Russian mobsters in sun-kissed Nice was fresh and clever enough for studios to think remake. Zimmer had twists, turns, and double and triple crosses, not to mention juicy parts for two major stars. In no time, Tom Cruise was said to be attached. Then Charlize Theron.
Over time, a who's who of six-figure screenwriters tried to blockbusterize the story, which was now being set in Venice: Jeffrey Nachmanoff (The Day After Tomorrow), William Wheeler (The Hoax), Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park), and Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) turned in one promising draft after another. But every time it looked as though The Tourist was headed for a green light, that light quickly turned red. Cruise backed out and went off to make other films. Then Sam Worthington was in. Until he wasn't.
Just as The Tourist seemed headed for the turnaround graveyard, Jolie was in New York wrapping the stunt-heavy Salt. She remembers being black-and-blue and exhausted. ''I wanted to do something that would be a great vacation for my kids,'' she says. ''I got a phone call saying, 'Okay, the film's shooting in Venice,' and I said, 'I don't know what it is, but I'm going to say yes.'''
Jolie's only half-kidding. The actress, 35, admits she's always had a sweet tooth for action thrillers and was intrigued by the story about two good-looking strangers in trouble in a picturesque European locale. But she also knew the script needed work a lot of work. It also needed a director, a producer, and a leading man. Still, her mind kept drifting back to a working vacation on the canals of Venice. There are worse places to spend a few months, she thought.

Scrum Methodology
Learn Scrum
The Scrum methodology of agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. In fact, Scrum and other agile processes were inspired by its shortcomings. The Scrum methodology emphasizes communication and collaboration, functioning software, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities — all attributes that suffer in the rigidly ordered waterfall paradigm.
Great Free Guide to Scrum
Posted by admin under Scrum Basics
If you're just beginning to learn about Scrum, you're probably hungry for introductory materials that break it down to the basics. DZone frequently publishes "Refcardz," pocket reference guides for developers on pertinent topics, from IDEs to programming languages. A few weeks ago, DZone published one of its best. Authored by Danube CST Michael James, it's on Scrum and, best of all, it's free.
Certainly, there is nuance involved in successfully managing projects with Scrum and, as James suggests at the end of the Refcard, the best way to learn Scrum is through a two-day ScrumMaster Certification course. Still, having a reference like this—authored by someone who has lived and breathed Scrum for years—is a very handy resource, indeed. It includes an overview of Scrum's roles, meetings, and artifacts, as well as brief discussions of more advanced topics, such as scaling for large installations and related practices. Even if you're a veteran practitioner of Scrum, I think you'll see the value of a document like this, especially as an aid for helping new teams learn the ropes.

- Executive Summary
Most American hydroelectric power is generated through the force of falling water, by damming a stream or river to raise its water level and then allowing the water to fall against a turbine connected to a generator.
Texas has produced hydropower for more than 70 years.239 It still contributes to the state's overall electricity supply, although in very limited amounts. While hydropower is the most common source of renewable electricity in the U.S., it provides just 11 percent of Texas' renewably generated electricity.
The terrain in Texas is not well-suited to large hydroelectric projects that use swift rivers in locations with steep drops. Although the state has some limited potential for additional hydropower, there are no current plans to develop it. The importance of surface water resources for water supplies is what drives plans for new reservoirs in Texas, not the need for additional electricity.
Dams and reservoirs are expensive to build. The cost of the proposed Marvin Nichols reservoir in northeast Texas, for example, has been estimated at $2.2 billion, with no power plant included.240 And water dammed for use in city water systems is unlikely to be released for other purposes, even to generate low-cost electricity.
|Per Million Btu
|No cost as an input for generating electricity.
|Direct Subsidy Share of Total Consumer Spending
|Federal: 0.5 percent; State and Local: none.241
|Electricity generation from hydroelectric power entails transmission costs.
Economic Impact and Viability
|Wages and Jobs
|Economic data on the Texas hydroelectric power industry are not available. Today's hydroelectric dams are managed, monitored and operated with computers, often from a distant location. Few employees are required for their maintenance. Dam building creates jobs, but new dams currently planned in Texas probably will have no hydroelectric capacity. In all, hydroelectricity has a very limited impact on jobs and wages.
|Regulatory Climate
|Hydroelectric generation is a mature technology with an established regulatory structure that includes dam safety standards. These facilities must obtain wastewater permits from TCEQ, a process that generally requires about one year.242 Building a new reservoir, however, is a lengthy process that can entail several years of planning, permitting, land acquisition and construction.
|Texas Competitive Advantage
|Texas has few sites offering good conditions for hydroelectric dams, and most of these are already developed. Water management is taking precedence in the use of and planning for water resources.
|Hydropower can come online quickly in response to peak demand, provided water is available to be released from the reservoir. This makes hydroelectricity particularly valuable because it can be obtained almost instantaneously, and much less expensively than would be the case if utilities had to fire up additional fossil fuel plants to meet peak loads.
Availability and Current Infrastructure
|Estimated Resources in Texas
|Little beyond current generating capacity.
|Current Fuel Production
|Consumption in Texas
|661,971 megawatt-hours or 2.3 trillion Btu (2006)243
|Texas' current hydropower generating capacity is 673 MW.244
Environment, Health and Safety
|Greenhouse Gas Emissions
|Hydroelectric power generates some greenhouse gases, primarily methane from decaying vegetation. The release of methane and CO2 is enhanced when water passes through turbines. The amount of greenhouse gases from hydropower varies and is not currently measured.245
|Air Pollution (Non-Greenhouse Gas)
|No significant issues.
|Solid Waste
|No significant issues.
|Land Use
|Reservoir construction requires the flooding of land. Reservoirs also can lead to erosion and destroy wildlife habitat.246
|Water Withdrawal
|No significant issues.
|Water Consumption
|Due to the evaporation of the water held in reservoirs, hydroelectric power generation costs an average of 1,319 gallons of water per million Btu generated. Because the water stored in reservoirs usually has multiple purposes, including water supply, flood control and recreation, experts typically do not attribute these evaporative losses exclusively to hydroelectric power.247
|Water Quality
|No significant issues.
|The initial energy input required to build dams is high but hydroelectricity is produced for decades afterwards. Damming rivers and creating reservoirs can harm ecosystems and decrease water flows.248
Fuel Characteristics
|Energy Content
|Variable; kinetic energy is dependent on the volume of water and length of its fall.
|Hydroelectric power is a renewable resource.
Other Issues
|Dependence on Foreign Suppliers
|No significant issues.
|Price and Supply Risks
|Risks include the limited supply of water and the cost associated with using reservoir water for generating electricity, rather than for other purposes, such as irrigation and municipal water supplies.

You might ask yourself why do hunters need a dog partner, the answer is quite simple: when the raccoons climb trees, especially during nighttime, the only way to detect these animals is with the help of your raccoon hunting dog because otherwise your chances of spotting a coon are almost null. Besides the dog matter, the most important issue regarding coon hunting is to make sure that you are aware of the surrounding of the area your targets will be hiding in ahead of time. Simply put, if you don't know the area, your chances of catching any of these animals are very small.
For this reason, a hunter must know where the coons are going for feeding purposes, where they live, which trees they prefer to climb and things like these. A very important aspect hunters must be aware of is that when they hunt on private land they must have the owner's permission to do so. The ideal time for hunting raccoons is during late winter for the fact that the raccoons spurs the heaviest.
If placing traps is your favorite raccoon hunting technique, you should know that the most suitable places for installation are in areas where there are food sources or around water areas, more concretely put: rivers, lakes, streams, marshes, ponds, creeks and similar areas. The best bushes are the ones that have a river nearby and they have mature "home trees" in them. It is almost obligatory not to destroy any of the den trees or shoot into a den tree, hoping to scare out a raccoon because it will never happen and you will cripple and maim them. It is very easy to detect if a raccoon is in a specific area by checking their tracks. Their front feet are smaller in comparison with the back ones and have longer "finger-like" tracks.

|LEGAL UPDATE ON FORECLOSURE – Steve Lord, TMA Attorney(for a copy of all of the filings, email me at email@example.com and I will forward on 100+ page documents)
On June 18, 2012, Judge Owen granted Credit Suisse's Decree of Foreclosure. That means that any party who feels "aggrieved" by any adverse rulings that resulted in Credit Suisse, for example, being senior on everything except the Village Plaza, Lake Wing, the BAG parcels, and certain Trillium Townhomes, now has 42 days to file an appeal.
Credit Suisse has indicated that it will wait 42 days before asking the sheriff to start the process of conducting a sheriff's sale.
Idaho law appears to allow a sheriff's sale as soon as 20 days after the sheriff first provides the appropriate notices that the sheriff will be conducting a sale. However, I anticipate that, because of the complexity of this case, the sheriff, and perhaps Credit Suisse as well, will ask for a longer period than 20 days.
On June 18, the Judge also issued a Memorandum Decision regarding several outstanding questions about process, and priority, for various parties to conduct foreclosure sales on:
Village Plaza
BAG Parcels
Lake Wing
OZ – Trillium Townhomes
Many of these concerns had to do with Credit Suisse's objections to the terminology used in the proposed decrees.
However, the Judge did indicate that MHTN will be able to submit a credit bid with respect to Lake Wing, BAG Holdings will be able to submit a credit bid with respect to the Belvedere Ridge, B21, B22, and Fairmont Parcels, and OZ will be able to submit a cash bid for the Trillium Townhomes.
The Judge declined to allow credit bidding for Village Plaza, due to the fact that there are so many competing and conflicting creditors, and the lack of a cash bid at any point makes apportionment and distribution difficult if not impossible.
In his Memorandum Decision and Order Regarding Proposed Judgments and Decrees of Foreclosure and Orders of Sale dated June 18, 2012, Judge Owen determined that a cash bid should be applied to Village Plaza's creditors in rank of priority as follows:
Pro rata to Tri State Electric, Kessler, and Oz Architects
Any balance pro rata to Banner/Sabey and MHTN
Any remaining cash to Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse had objected to paragraphs 12 and 13 of Banner/Sabey's Proposed Decree of Foreclosure of the Village Plaza Property. The Judge agreed with Credit Suisse's objection to paragraph 12 because it addressed junior interests that had not been adjudicated, but declined to accept Credit Suisse's objection to paragraph 13, because the junior interests addressed in paragraph 13 were also those referenced under state law.
The Judge also sustained Credit Suisse's objection to termination of its general borrower mortgage, because the general mortgage Credit Suisse has with respect to most assets at Tamarack does not include the Village Plaza Property.
The Judge specifically indicated that the Receiver mortgage had not been adjudicated, and therefore he would not enter any orders indicating whether the Receiver mortgage is or is not foreclosed by any other decree.
The Judge also addressed redemption rights. The Judge indicated that a debtor has a statutory right of redemption under Idaho Code § 6-101 and Idaho Code § 11-401. Also judgment lien creditors whose judgment liens existed as of the date of commencement of the foreclosure also have a redemptioner's interest. However, the Judge sustained Credit Suisse's objection to language in paragraph 16 of Banner/Sabey's Proposed Judgment and Decree of Foreclosure in which it seemed to reserve to Tri-State, Kessler, Banner/Sabey, Oz Architecture and MHTN redemption rights.
At the same time, the Court rejected Credit Suisse's argument that Tamarack Resort, LLC lost its redemption rights with Credit Suisse's entry of default and default judgment. The Court therefore overruled Credit Suisse's assertion that Tamarack Resort, LLC's statutory right of redemption was cut off by the entry of default and default judgment (Memorandum Decision Page 28).
The Judge sustained some Credit Suisse objections, overruled other Credit Suisse objections and requested that counsel for Banner/Sabey, OZ Architecture, MHTN, and BAG submit revised, proposed decrees of foreclosure reflecting the Court's determinations. Those need to be submitted within 14 days of June 18, 2012, which establishes the submission date as July 2, 2012.
If your interested in reviewing the hundred or so pages of both filings they can found on the TMA website at www.tmaidaho.com. Click on the Legal Documents link on the left. Please be aware it will take about 30 seconds for the PDF to download.

Hospitals affected by Hurricane Sandy are getting over $100 million in much-needed financial aid.
Senator Charles Schumer said the Federal Emergency Management Agency is providing the funds to Bellevue, Coney Island, Coler-Goldwater and Metropolitan Hospitals.
At both Coney Island and Bellevue, flood damage forced hundreds of patient evacuations and services remain limited.
The money is the first that the city's hospitals have received since the storm.
"This money does not go to pay a contractor, to fix a boiler," Schumer said. "The city has done that already. This reimburses the city. If we hadn't done it, guess who would've paid for it? The taxpayers. And taxes would've gone up."
It's estimated that $810 million will be needed to complete repairs and prevent future flooding.
Schumer said the $50 billion Hurricane Sandy aid package passed by the House would cover those costs.
It's expected to be voted on by the Senate next week.

recognize high achievers
The 2010 event integrates Emerald Honors for researchers and scientists
From little kids to retired generals, there was something good there for everyone
When the Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) were launched more than twenty years ago, role models for students of color in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) were few and far between. Dr Tyrone Taborn, CEO of Career Communications Group which publishes U.S. Black Engineer & IT magazine, joined with engineering deans of Morgan State (Baltimore, MD) and Howard (Washington, DC) Universities to change that.
The three founders designed the awards to �bring students to one area where they could see a number of successful role models in government, education and corporate America,� Taborn says. Baltimore was chosen because it�s close to many of the HBCUs with engineering programs. The Council of Engineering Deans of the HBCUs still co-sponsors the BEYA event.
Over the years the BEYA STEM Global Competitiveness Conference has evolved and broadened to include K-12 programs, events that focus on technical folks in the military, and now the Emerald Honors for research scientists. �This year we completed the merger of the Minorities in Research Science Conference into the larger BEYA STEM event,� Taborn notes. BEYA has also become multicultural: awards can go to anyone who advances the careers of people of color in STEM.
Besides the awards themselves, the BEYA conference includes workshops for students and professionals and a day-long career fair. The college-level track is called the Development Institute for Emerging Leaders. �We look for areas where we can compliment what�s happening on the campuses,� Tayborn says. This year�s program emphasized careers in national security, with talks by generals, members of the senior civil service and intelligence community professionals.
Black Engineer of the Year is John D. Harris II, VP of contracts and supply chain for the Raytheon Company. Dozens more awards went to technical pros at organizations from Aerospace Corp to Verizon, government agencies and every branch of the military. The top Emerald Honor, Scientist of the Year, went to Henrietta N. Ukwu, MD, VP of global regulatory affairs for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.
Awards recognize technical and scientific accomplishments, of course, but also salute people who have shown a strong commitment to diversity and mentoring. Raytheon�s Harris, for example, spent two years as executive diversity champion for the company. Other 2010 awardees ranged from early-career engineers to company officers and decorated military leaders.
Taborn reports that many top BEYA awardees now sit on corporate boards. �People are constantly telling me it made a difference in their careers,� he says.

Cupcake Socks for Xmas
We did these adorable cupcake socks as teacher gifts this year. I also make them for my coworkers. They're so easy to make. I just used scrapbook paper for the cupcake liner. I used hair bands to hold them after I rolled them up and a tiny bit of hot glue for the cherry on top. I ended up paying about 2.00 for each pair of fuzzy socks. I can't remember where I saw the idea first, but I did see a post about it on Hip2save and pinterest.

Fishing report: Hatchery chinook are biting despite stormy weather
In between the stormy weather, marine salmon anglers continue to find decent action for hatchery chinook.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle native and lifelong angler Mark Yuasa blogs on fishing in the Pacific Northwest.
In between the stormy weather, marine salmon anglers continue to find decent action for hatchery chinook.
The Resurrection Salmon Derby was Friday and Saturday at Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, and anglers found good fishing. The derby lured 75 teams with more than 200 fish, compared to last year when 69 teams had 96 fish.
Bob Norling and Mark Shinman of Anacortes took the $10,000 first place prize with a 15.67-pound fish. The total boat weight prize went to Troy Moe's team with 93.56 pounds, for $1,000.
The Tengu Derby in Elliott Bay lured 27 anglers Sunday, and three fish were hooked including the winning 11-pound, 9-ounce hatchery chinook caught by derby president Doug Hanada off Fourmile Rock near the Elliott Bay Marina.
Two more fish were caught in the same area, and weighed 6-0 and 4-1. Hanada's fish is the largest this season. The derby meets at daybreak on Sundays through Dec. 30 at Seacrest Boathouse. Details: 206-324-7600.
The eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca is open for hatchery chinook, and has produced fair action at Winter Hole, Ediz Hook and Freshwater Bay near Port Angeles.
Chinook fishing is open through Jan. 31 in central Puget Sound, and has been fair to good at Jefferson Head, but slow at Manchester and Southworth. It has also been slow off the southeast side of Whidbey Island, Saratoga Pass, south central Puget Sound in the Tacoma area and Hood Canal around Misery Point.
Razor clam update
"There were 800 people out (Tuesday) night at Twin Harbors, and the average was 14.6 clams per person (15 is a daily limit)," said Dan Ayres, the head state Fish and Wildlife coastal shellfish manager. "Weather looks bad the next few days, and Saturday calls for heavy rains, but the good tides might make it better."
Digs are: Thursday at Twin Harbors; Friday and Saturday at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks; and Sunday at Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Mocrocks. Digging is allowed after noon.
Other tentative dates are: Dec. 28 at Twin Harbors; Dec. 29 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Mocrocks; Dec. 30-31 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks. January dates will be announced soon.

|Fishing report
|Local rivers
"They got a bunch of steelhead at the Whitehorse Hatchery (on the North Fork of the Stillaguamish)," said Brett Barkdull, a state Fish and Wildlife biologist in La Conner. "The Cascade River has also been reasonably good for steelhead, and they've got about 30 fish in the fish trap right now. They're getting a few steelhead on the North Fork of the Nooksack."
Other places worth a try for steelhead are Reiter Ponds on Skykomish and Tokul Creek on Snoqualmie. Fair for steelhead and a few late coho in the Cowlitz. Slow to fair for steelhead in the Lewis. On the North Coast, it's fair for steelhead in the Bogachiel. Fair for coho in the Humptulips.
Biting: Yes/no
|Marine areas
|Squid jigging remains very good at Seacrest Pier in West Seattle, Des Moines Pier, Les Davis Pier in Tacoma, A-Dock at Shilshole Bay Marina and Pier 86 off Elliott Avenue West in Seattle, and fair to good at Edmonds Pier. Still very good for Dungeness crab in some areas of Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Smelt jigging is good at the Oak Harbor Marina and Cornet Bay Marina on Whidbey Island. The west side of Whidbey Island off Bush and Lagoon points is generating a few steelhead for marine bank anglers.
Biting: Yes
|Local lakes
|Battleground was recently planted with 4,500 half-pound rainbows, Klineline got 3,200, and Ice House got 500. Fair for trout at Roesiger, Ballinger, Blackmans and Goodwin, and for cutthroat in Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish. No report from Beaver Lake near Issaquah, but worth a try for trout.
Biting: Yes

Thread: opinions on Arria
May 10th, 2013 07:34 AM #1
May 10th, 2013 07:58 AM #3
If I saw this I'd say 'arry-a' not 'ah-ree-a'. I did some Googling. It appears to be a name used in Roman times and has roots in Latin and Armenian. If it's pronounced the way I think it is, I might prefer it to Aria.
1. I'm definitely right about the first 'a'. It would only make the long 'ah' sound if it had an accent mark over the top. In this instance the flat, short 'a' is correct.
2. Double letters should be pronounced separately. An Italian speaker would find this easy but I'm not sure how to make my English tongue do it.
3. 'ia' is not a dipthong so both letters are pronounced by themselves. Therefore 'ee-a' is the most logical ending as saying 'ih-a' sounds daft and you'd need an accent mark over the 'i' for 'eye-a'.
The pronunciation in Latin is: 'A-R/REE-A' (a like cat). Basically, I'm saying the first and last parts separately but right next to each other.
http://www.forvo.com/word/serra/#it < Listen to Heracleum saying 'serra' (greenhouse) in Italian. That's what I mean by the double 'r' being split in half. He seems to roll it too which is always funtimes.

Aria is my favourite, Arria isn't awful though. Arya is a completely different name to me.
Aria is pronounced "Ah-ree-ah", with three syllables, and is an Italian word name.
Arya is pronounced "Are-yuh", with two syllables and is an invented name.
Aria Charlotte Rose was a combo I had on my own list for a while, perhaps you'd like it.Laurel - 21 - Toronto

Travel Policy for Faculty
A. Travel to professional meetings is important for the continued development of faculty members. However, the expense of such travel makes it impossible to support all worthy trips. Therefore, we follow these guidelines for campus support:
B. Travel to Columbus, to other regional campuses, and to other locations within the OSU systems (ex., OARDC, Stone Lab) to participate in department meetings, to attend colloquia, or to use the libraries and other facilities is encouraged. Faculty members who live in Columbus are not eligible for reimbursement for trips to the Mansfield or Columbus campuses. Mansfield faculty members who are teaching a course on the Columbus campus are not eligible for reimbursement by OSU Mansfield for travel to and from class. All mileage reimbursement is calculated from the Mansfield campus to the destination. The normal limit is $500.00 per year. Approval from the Associate Dean is required in order to exceed that limit.
The campus maintains one vehicle that is available to faculty and staff on a limited basis according to the following guidelines.
Travel reimbursement should be submitted monthly. If you want to submit your travel form after each trip, you may do so, but no reimbursement will be made for trips that are more than 60 days old.
C. Procedures for Obtaining Travel Authorization
3. Submit preliminary estimate of cost and approval letter to the Business Office. This is required by the University Travel Office to assign a travel number. The Business Office will generate the appropriate "T" number for the trip. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXPEND MONEY BEFORE OBTAINING A "T" NUMBER. THE UNIVERSITY CANNOT REIMBURSE SUCH EXPENDITURES.
4. Following the trip, submit receipts to the Business Office within 30 days of your return.

In an expletive-laden tirade, the US Treasury secretary has expressed his frustration with regulators, saying they are delaying approval of the Obama administration's regulatory reformsWASHINGTON, DC - A frustrated Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner has blasted US financial regulators for contributing to the delay of Congress approval of the financial regulatory reforms proposed by the Obama administration in June, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The hour-long meeting was attended by Ben Bernanke chairman of the Federal Reserve, Mary Schapiro, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation chairman Sheila Bair, comptroller of the currency John Dugan, Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairman Gary Gensler and Office of Thrift Supervision acting director John Bowman. Under the new plans, all these bodies, save the Fed, will lose a portion of their oversight powers. Both Bair and Schapiro have expressed concerns about giving more power to the Fed to oversee systemically important firms, favouring a council approach, with power shared between the existing regulators.
Geithner is reported to have been expecting such a backlash from regulators protecting their turf, but what he hadn't expected was that their concerns would be given such support from lawmakers.
The meeting was described as unusual by the WSJ not only because of Geithner's language but also because he took such an aggressive posture with the regulatory agencies, which have been traditionally independent of the White House. Geithner is said to have reminded regulators that it is the administration and Congress that set policy, not them.
The main aim of the meeting was the refocused efforts on passing a reform bill before the end of the year, which initially all the federal agencies had agreed to. And aside from the thorny issue of whether the Fed or a council of regulators will oversee the new systemic council, a consensus has been reached on most of the plans, including remuneration and regulation of over-the-counter derivatives.
Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, both support passing the bill soon but have different ideas on what it will eventually contain. Dodd favours giving powers to an oversight council, while Frank has suggested he wants to maintain effective authority through "a sufficient broad base of participation and input".

FuelCell Energy Management Discusses Q3 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Before proceeding with the call, I would like to remind everyone that this call is being recorded, and that the discussion today will contain forward-looking statements, including the company's plans and expectations for the continuing development and commercialization of our fuel cell technology. I would like to direct listeners to read the company's cautionary statement on forward-looking information and other risk factors in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Now I'd like to turn the call over to Chip Bottone. Chip?
Arthur A. Bottone
Thank you, Kurt. Good morning, everyone, and welcome. I ask you to please turn to Slide 4 titled Third Quarter 2012 Highlights. Our expansion into Europe is progressing well and according to plan. During the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of select fuel cell assets at no cost to us and concluded our joint venture with Fraunhofer IKTS. This new partnership is already paying dividends for us. Within just a few months of announcing our partnership, we received an order for our first fuel cell power plant that will be installed in the Federal Ministry's new state-of-the-art office complex in Berlin. An ideal first customer for this market, the German governor -- government is a strong proponent of clean distributed generation. It will be difficult for me to overstate how well this illustrates Fraunhofer's extensive influence and their potential to help us develop this market.While our third quarter financial results were below our expectations with lower sales and margin than desired, our near-term global sales pipeline is strong to support the increasing production levels, resulting in a return to growing positive gross margin as we progressed to profitability. As announced last month, I will explain more fully later in the call discussions with POSCO Energy are progressing, and we expect to finalize agreements pertaining to the 120-megawatt order and cell licensing agreement during 2012. Essentially, given the importance of this decision and the scale of our effort to develop it, planning and discussions have simply taken longer than estimated.

If you hate it so much, mod it out of your client. This skin looks as fun as other christmas skins, and I will vote with my money. I'm glad, that looking by the amount of downvotes, white knighting isn't altering this game design.
There are so many lame skins, another one will not make such a difference tbh, but I think it is just as bad with and without the pole. Almost as bad as the dortor/nurse and most of the holiday skins.
No. You're wrong, period.
If you do not find it morally appealing for what ever reason, you need not buy it. Just because you don't like the skin doesn't mean you should be marginalizing options for others. The stripper pole is perfectly fine, it really isn't a big deal if you're a mature person.
Furthermore, there is zero evidence that this would hurt their chance at becoming an eSport, and even to suggest that is laughable. You've got no platform to stand on that justifies the illegitimacy of this skin, so I suggest you drop it, just wasting your time.
Suggesting that Riot has 'gone to far' is so ridiculous. Obviously you don't get out much if you really think that this kind of behavior/appearance is 'too far' by any measure.
I think the OP is gunning for most downvotes in one day. He is well on his way for that achievement. I don't even play Kat but I like the skin besides her hair. Her hair is pretty ugly in my opinion, I prefer the normal red, but that's just me.
Elite Midget
There are like seven or eight topics about Katarina being on a pole.
Can we talk about how the new in-game layout is distracting and unnecessarily difficult to maneuver around instead? x_o

EW.com talked to Fatone, 26, about his silly streak, why song and dance is harder than it looks, and which fans aren't as much fun.
So, did you squeeze Lance for talent show pointers before signing on for ''Fame''?
Oh, I did my own stupid thing. I wanted to do this because I thought it was pretty cool that this show gives an opportunity to younger kids than some of the other shows. Plus, it didn't hurt that I was a big fan of both the original movie and the TV show.
What do you think of the kids on the show?
They're inspirational, because they're really hard working. They're honestly striving to be their best, and you can see their minds working a mile a minute trying to learn choreography, dancing -- so much stuff every day. It's hard work and it's stressful, but I think they're enjoying it. And I really hope it gives the people watching an understanding of what we do as performers. They go through pretty much the same thing ['N Sync does] when we rehearse for a tour, doing choreography day in and day out while we're also practicing the songs. In the real world, you have to learn everything all at once, too.
If ''Fame'' doesn't live forever, what are you up to next?
It's been nice since 'N Sync took a break, because I've had time off to spend with my girl and my daughter [Brianna, his daughter with girlfriend Kelly Baldwin, was born in 2001]. But, honestly, I'm ready to work a little bit now. I'm doing the ''Fame'' thing, and after that the group starts writing another album in September. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in a little [solo] recording time in between.
How are you juggling being the only member of 'N Sync who's a daddy?
You take it one day at a time. Right now my daughter can go with me pretty much wherever I go, so it's nice. But when she's old enough to go to school, it's going to suck, because we'll be apart a lot more.
J.C. Chasez mentioned you're working on parodies of 'N Sync songs for your solo album. Are you really the group funny guy?
Funny looking maybe, but I don't know if I'm really the funny one. I'm recording more original songs than anything for the album, and I don't want to tell you too much about those. But there are two or three tracks on the album that are parodies. I'm just silly that way. That's me, just silly!
How do you like getting recognized for ''My Big Fat Greek Wedding''? Lots of grandmas pinching your cheeks?
It's funny to meet the different kinds of fans and see how they treat you differently. It's really weird. The 'N Sync fans are like, Aaaaah! and want autographs. They're very excited, very happy. And the movie fans are more serious, saying stuff like, ''You know, I love your work.''

Help Me Decide Between 2 jobs! (MUCH shorter version) - page 2
I have 2 years exp. as a psych nurse, 1.5 as a MH counselor, and a BA in psychology Job A: 32 hours in a psych hospital; 24 hours eves on a 6-bed unit where I'd be the only nurse--I'm not so much concerned about safety (pts... Read More
- 0May 24, '09 by want2beanurse2I responded to your original post a few days ago when you were choosing between the Psych job and the Dr. Office. Although you seem excited about job B I still feel that you are leaning towards the Psych job because that's what you know and you're comfortable. Again you have to choose and make this decision for yourself! Job B would be gaining more experience but I think you want us to say take the Psych job.
- 0May 24, '09 by exnavygirl-RNWow, that would make for an extremely long post. ha ha ha I have it narrowed down to 2. uggggg I guess it is a good thing to have choices but I hate choosing!! It is so nerve racking for me.
Quote from ivyleafExnavygirl- What are the 2 jobs you are deciding between?
- 0May 25, '09 by josinda421Quote from ivyleafThanks for your advice, all!
I guess I feel like I should get more experience in the hospital/with "basic" assessment skills, as I've never worked FT as a nurse before--the past 2 years, work has been secondary to school. I guess, I know I like working on an inpatient unit- that's what I do now-- And I'm a bit nervous about trying something new, especially if I don't end up liking it. Although client interaction is only one piece, I'll be working with much more chronically ill clients, and from working in a group home, I know there are lots of problems with the system (most of my clts will be in group homes/community residences)--staff training/education, chronic client behavioral problems, funding problems, etc etc. I am excited to work to improve/change some of these issues, but I know it will not happen overnight. Job B will be much more of a responsibility than A. I guess part of me likes the idea of coming home at the end of each shift and being *done* (no long-term projects, deadlines, etc). This is what appeals about Job A.
Josinda- I received by ADN first. It's definitely possible to be a psych nurse as an LPN; however, an RN definitely opens up more options-- You may be discriminated against in the hiring process, will most likely make less $, and won't be eligible for some of the community mental health jobs-- UNLESS you have years of experience. A BA in psych is great, but it doesn't open up any job options besides those in psychology research, and those don't pay well (< or = $30k a year). I would eventually go for my RN, if I were you. But you can definitely work in psych as an LPN! What state do you live in?
thanks for the reply. I thought as much that LPN's would make less in psych. I live in MD. Maybe I'll shadow with a nurse in a psych facility and see how I like it, and if I DO like it than maybe compansiate by working with a agency or something. thanks againd. And goo luck with your choices
- 0May 25, '09 by ivyleafQuote from exnavygirl-RNExNavy- Are the jobs you are interested in psych? I'm curious! I too am SOO stressed about this, even though I haven't even been Job B!Wow, that would make for an extremely long post. ha ha ha I have it narrowed down to 2. uggggg I guess it is a good thing to have choices but I hate choosing!! It is so nerve racking for me.
On another note:
I just worked a 3-11 evening shift last night, which ended up being 3-12am with no dinner break. This is NOT the norm, but It was extremely stressful-- at 330 we had a pt fall and unable to get up (went to ER), 2 pts claimed sexual harassment from hospital staff (not staff from our floor), and 3 pts were 1:1-- 2 of which had to be females (Dt sexual harassment charges)
When I got home, I couldn't fall asleep and was up till 3am, and slept until 2:30 today! I often do this after working evening shifts and am considering not taking Job A just because of this---I end up wasting the AM hours and staying up late unproductive on my computer, snacking mindlessly. Ugh!

Dealing with pushy people can be unpleasant. One solution is to try to avoid them. However, you may not always be able to do this, especially when they are your friends or people with their foot in the door who pretend to be doing you a favor by selling you a product.
The telemarketer wants to sell you insurance, and that dinner-time call catches you off guard. A colleague nudges you to do the project he's put off. An automobile sales person pitches and presses you to buy granny's old pickup truck even though you visibly want to get off the lot. What do these people have in common? They have agendas. Their agenda gives them an incentive to push you into complying.
An agenda is a list of things to consider or to do. It may range from instinctive and intuitive to a professionally developed sales pitch. Some agendas are hidden. A colleague wants you to think badly of another co-worker to cover up his badmouthing you to that person. Perhaps you won't speak to her and won't discover the subterfuge.
It's hard to imagine agenda-free interactions. They are part of practically every human interaction. Most are normal. Some will put you into an unwanted situation, and so are useful to recognize and knowledgeably address.

With its enormous size, vast array of natural resources and large population, Texas plays a significant role in the nation's economy. Our diverse economy helped buffer Texas from the national recession during most of 2008, making it one of the last states to lose jobs.
Our state's economy remains open for business. We are not, however, immune from global economic forces, and could continue to see negative impacts from national and international economic problems until the economy recovers.
It is important to all Texans that the state continues to grow and to discover new opportunities. And the role of state government is to create and foster an environment in which this can happen.
The Texas Comptroller analyzes factors affecting the state's economy and uses this information to prepare its biennial forecast of state revenue. To perform this task, our economists keep their fingers on the pulse of the state, detecting changes as they occur and identifying trends that will affect our common future.
In January 2008, the Comptroller began a series of reports called Texas in Focus The first report, A Statewide View of Opportunities, examined issues affecting the state and its economy as a whole. Other reports in the series examine each of the state's 12 economic regions. Previous volumes looked at the High Plains, South Texas, Upper East Texas and Central Texas regions, providing detailed data and analysis specific to those regions.
This sixth report in the series, Texas in Focus: The Upper Rio Grande Region, examines issues affecting an economic region that includes the Rio Grande Council of Governments. The Upper Rio Grande region consists of six counties in the westernmost portion of the state and includes the cities of El Paso, Alpine, Presidio, Van Horn, Marfa and Fort Davis (Exhibit 1).
This report provides information on the forces driving change in the Upper Rio Grande region, and examines factors that may affect the development of its economy. State leaders, county and city officials, chambers of commerce, economic development corporations and the general public can use this report to stay on top of important issues as they work to keep their local economies thriving. Areas explored in this report include:
Economic Development
The Upper Rio Grande region's employment growth should match the state's by 2013, with its non-metro counties surpassing statewide growth for this period.
Strongest job growth is expected in the professional and business services sector, with 79 percent more jobs in 2013 than in 2003. In all, the region's job count is expected to rise by 24 percent over this period, despite the current national downturn.
The military is the region's largest employer, accounting for 27 percent of the region's total employment, 3.5 times the national average. Other important industries in the region include the manufacture of household vacuum cleaners and men's footwear, tourism and agricultural production.
Nearly 97 percent of the Upper Rio Grande region's residents live in or near El Paso. Between 2003 and 2013, El Paso's population should increase by 12.5 percent, compared to a 17 percent growth rate for the state. Outside of El Paso County, the region's population should remain largely unchanged. The region's population is relatively young, with more than 42 percent under the age of 25 in 2008, compared to 38 percent in Texas and 34 percent in the U.S.
The Upper Rio Grande has more public parkland than any other region in the state, boasting Texas' two national parks, including Big Bend National Park at 801,163 acres or 1,252 square miles, and several state parks.
The region also serves as an important international trade corridor between Mexico and the United States via Interstate Highway 10 and a Foreign Trade Zone operated by the El Paso International Airport. And El Paso Water Utilities' recently opened Kay Bailey Hutchison Desalination Plant is one of the world's largest inland desalination plant, providing the region with an important source for potable water.
Health Care
Like many other areas in Texas, the Upper Rio Grande faces a shortage of trained health care professionals. This shortage, however, should be reduced by Texas' first new medical school since 1977, the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, scheduled to open its doors in El Paso on July 9, 2009.
The new medical school should increase the region's supply of medical professionals. In addition, construction of the Children's Hospital at Thomason General Hospital, El Paso's first children's hospital, began in February 2009 and is anticipated to open in early 2012. And while the region has historically been underserved, five of El Paso's 14 largest employers are health-related organizations.
The region's school districts vary dramatically in size, from the El Paso Independent School District with almost 62,000 students to San Vicente Independent School District in Brewster County, with just 26 students. Although three-quarters of the region's students are classified as economically disadvantaged, 88 percent of its campuses are rated Academically Acceptable or above.
The four-year graduation rate at the region's major university, the University of Texas at El Paso, doubled between 1999 and 2007. From 2005 to 2007, Hispanic Business magazine ranked the university's College of Engineering first in the nation for Hispanic students, while the National Science Foundation has designated the college a "Model Institution for Excellence."

The 10 Best Sci-Fi MoviesAs Chosen By Scientists
Real scientists can be the harshest critics of science fiction. But that doesnt mean they cant enjoy a movie just because it bends the laws of nature. We polled dozens of scientists and engineers to discover the sci-fi movies they love.
By Joe Pappalardo
No. 3 Brazil (1985)
Sam Lowry is a civil servant in a bleak, dystopian world that treats individuals like mail in a post office. Sam's fantasy life of rescuing imperiled women becomes a little too real when he meets a subversive female truck driver and runs afoul of the automated, dehumanizing system around him. The film strikes a chord with researchers not for its scientific fidelityits tech is more absurd than accuratebut, rather, because it boldly imagines a trajectory of the future. "I saw Brazil and was in shock," says Mitchell Joachim, a New York University professor and cofounder of the urban design think tank Terreform ONE. "It's dreamy and filled with irony in a technological society gone south. But the message is about our shared human goal of wishing for a better place." The film's dramatic landscapes, which feature cities that seem designed to strip individuals of their identities, influenced him personally: "I became an architect who works on cities of the future."

To be successful in a collaborative learning environment you need to be an active participant in the process.
A set of well developed time management skills may be the most important factor in succeeding in an online course. You need to organize and plan ahead to be able to allocate sufficient time to access course materials, participate in online classes and discussion boards, and complete all of the assignments.
Online courses use a variety of constantly evolving technology tools to facilitate teacher/student and student/student interactions. This is still a new field and glitches, delays, and malfunctions are inevitable.
Online courses frequently require you to search for resources on the Internet. The large numbers of indexes, search engines, and web pages require navigation skills. The library has prepared a guide for you at www.lib.clemson.edu/qr/internet.htm
Online courses frequently require students to work in virtual groups. To be successful in a virtual group, you need excellent communication skills and a willingness to collaborate. Virtual groups meet in a variety of different ways, including chat rooms, discussion boards, email messages, and telephone calls.
Discussion forums are designed to facilitate interactions about a particular thread or topic. The discussion forum is usually active for a specified period of time and asynchronous in nature. Participants enter the discussion on their time schedule, read the postings, add comments, and introduce new material related to the topic. The purpose of a threaded discussion is to expand your knowledge through the collective research and comments on the subject. To be successful in online discussion forums, students need to attend to due dates and become actively engaged in the process.
Most of All – Enjoy the Experience!!

I'm gonna make it

No I cannot wait any longer
Seein' people who don't even wonder
Should we be lost in this world today
Let's gonna find out some way.

I wanna get all the people attention
Hear me and feel

Still I try to find a place to be
Closer to all that I need
