Marcus Junius Brutus
Marcus Junius Brutus (early June, 85 BC – late October, 42 BC), often referred to as Brutus, was a politician of the late Roman Republic. After being adopted by his uncle he used the name Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus, but eventually returned to using his original name. He is best known in modern times for taking a leading role in the assassination of Julius Caesar. Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger was the son of Marcus Junius Brutus the Elder and Servilia Caepionis. His father was killed by Pompey the Great in dubious circumstances after he had taken part in the rebellion of Lepidus; his mother was the half-sister of Cato the Younger, and later Julius Caesar's mistress. Some sources refer to the possibility of Caesar being his real father, despite Caesar's being only 15 years old when Brutus was born. Brutus' uncle, Quintus Servilius Caepio, adopted him in about 59 BC, and Brutus was known officially for a time as Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus before he reverted to using his birth-name. Following Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, Brutus revived his adoptive name in order to illustrate his links to another famous tyrannicide, Gaius Servilius Ahala, from whom he was  ( Wikipedia article )

EDM Metallics
MWI offers a full compliment of metallic electrode materials and sizes. We carry a full range of brass, copper, tungsten, tungsten carbide, copper tungsten and TELCO (tellurium copper) available for immediate shipment.
Recommended Usage: Telco is a machinable copper for EDM. As an electrode material, Telco performs the same as regular copper. However, Telco offers the distinct advantage that is 90% machinable as compared to regular copper (refer to chart on the right). Telco Electrodes can be machined much faster and easier as compared to regular copper.
Copper Tungsten "CT-3"
Recommended Usage: Copper Tungsten CT -3 is a sintered and infiltrated electrode material which combines the strength, high density, and high melting point of Tungsten with the excellent electrical properties and good resistance against DC arcing of copper to form an unbeatable combination.
Typical Average Properties
TC-9 Tungsten Carbide Tubing
TC-9 Tungsten Carbide electrodes are recommended as an alternative to brass, copper, or copper tungsten for EDMing holes. The extreme high density, strength, good conductivity, and high melting point of TC-9 make it an excellent choice for EDMing production holes where electrode wear is a factor.
Pure Tungsten Wire TU-4
Tungsten wire TU-4 is recommended for EDMing small diameter holes less than .100 deep. Due to its strength, high density, and high melting point, TU-4 electrodes are more resistant to electrode wear than any other electrode material.

There are some who may consider pipefitting synonymous with plumbing, but these are really two very distinct trades. Plumbers install and repair the water, waste disposal, drainage and gas systems in homes and commercial and industrial buildings. Pipefitters, on the other hand, install and repair both high- and low-pressure pipe systems used in manufacturing, in the generation of electricity, and in the heating and cooling of buildings. NCCER offers a four-level Pipefitting curriculum that covers topics such as Threaded Pipe Fabrication, Excavations, and Steam Traps.

Hailing from San Francisco, Journey originated as a progressive-rock outfit in the mid-'70s, transitioned to reliable radio staples in the early '80s, and repeatedly reshuffled in recent years after the loss of lead singer Steve Perry. Of course, losing your frontman is never fortuitous – just ask Queen, Van Halen, or Bad Company. Regardless, their most recent realignment may be their most intriguing. It began when Perry, the voice behind the hits "Who's Crying Now," "Don't Stop Believin'," Open Arms," "Separate Ways," and "Wheel in the Sky," passed the mic to Steve Augeri, who subsequently left the group for medical reasons and was then replaced by Jeff Scott Soto. When Soto severed ties with the band earlier this year due to musical differences, it led to new Filipino vocalist Arnel Pineda's big break. Lost yet? Pineda was discovered by guitarist Neal Schon on YouTube. Interestingly, "Don't Stop Believin'" getting played during the bewildering crescendo of The Sopranos' series finale prompted renewed interest in the group. Its latest opus, Revelation, is a surprisingly strong CD/DVD combo boasting both new songs and repurposed catalog, offering ample reason to believe there's life left in Journey after all.

Crazy People Hate Unicorns and News
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Blood on the Bayou, a wee teaser...
First came a terrorist attack. Then the mutations—and Fey who had lived in harmony with humans turned deadly. Now, most people hide behind iron gates. But those who are immune—and those with enough courage—can venture into the Louisiana Delta . . . and a nightmare world of magic.
No good deed goes unpunished…
Annabelle Lee, a Fairy Containment and Control agent blessed—or cursed—with immunity to Fairy venom, is once again called upon to help solve a murder deep in the bayou. But this investigation is off the books and her ex-lover, Hitch, is leading the hunt for a secret chemical weapons lab and an FBI mole providing it with human lab rats.
Helping Hitch means certain interpersonal disaster with her estranged boyfriend, but Annabelle knows exactly what it feels like to be a lab rat. Her new, fairy-attack-induced paranormal powers seem to have few negative side effects, but would that change if she stopped injecting herself with the mystery drug delivered to her by the even more mysterious—not to mention ridiculously attractive—Tucker? A man who can turn invisible at will, and who makes no bones about how dead she'll be if she reveals his secrets.
As the murder investigation progresses, Annabelle learns Tucker isn't the only one with secrets, and that the only thing that cuts deeper than a friend's deception, are the lies we tell ourselves.

Excerpt from Chapter One:
"Because you mostly suck. Even the FCC isn't sure they want you any more," Grace says. "I mean, who gets suspended from a job scooping fairy poop? Can't a monkey do your job?"
She crosses her arms and huffs, sending a piece of lip flapping. "Don't think I'll stop telling the truth just because you stop fighting back."
"You're not telling the truth."
"I am." She floats close enough that the tingle becomes a sting. "I'm a messenger from the other side."
"You're chips with jalapeno sauce and refried beans."
"Really?" Her face snaps into sharper focus and suddenly the air seems colder, and the nightmare bigger. A breeze ruffles the bottom of my t-shirt. I fist it in my fingers, needing something to hold onto as the feeling that we're not alone raises goose bumps on my bare legs. "Could chips with jalapeno sauce do this?" She lifts her small, white hands and the glow beneath her skin becomes a blinding light.
I wince and squeeze my eyes closed, throwing my arms up to block the glare as the wind starts to blow in earnest. It blasts in from every direction at once, a twister that rushes through my legs and whips my hair into a wild red tangle. It smacks and patters and beats at my skin and then I feel it—unbearably soft, hot flesh brushing against mine, and the tickle of silky wings.
This isn't wind. It's a swarm of fairies.
My eyes fly open. They're everywhere. The air is alive with naked humanoid bodies glowing pink and gold, flat, black eyes, and rows and rows and rows of teeth. Every one of them has their detachable jaw dropped and their layers of shark-like fangs out for show and tell. I'm immune to their venom, but I know how badly those teeth hurt when they break the skin, how freely even one bite will bleed.
This many fairies could kill me. They would die after, but if enough of them dig in for a suicide nibble, I'll bleed to death and all the immunity in the world won't matter.
"Dead woman," a voice rasps in my ear. I flinch and scream and brush wildly at my head. I knock the fairy away, but he flies around to hover in front of my nose, his ancient prune face screwed up in a scowl.
He's easily the oldest fairy I've ever seen. About two inches from head to foot, with a concave chest that gives way to bony ribs and a belly that sags like an empty pouch. His skin is more yellow than gold and even his eyes seem duller than the rest of the fairies', but his teeth are just as sharp.
I get an up close and personal inspection when he bares them in a hiss. "Dead," he shouts around his mouthful of fangs. "Dead. Dead. Dead!"
Spittle flies into my eyes, but I swallow the scream rising in my throat. My eyes feel like they're burning, but they aren't. This isn't real. Fairies can't talk. Grace is dead. And I would never go for a stroll in the bayou in my underwear.
Just a dream. A stupid dream!
"Your last nightmare," the old fairy assures me in a voice like sandpaper scraping down my spine. "Leave the breeding ground of the Slake."
"We suffer no more Gentry. Not now. Never!" He jabs an angry thumb over his shoulder and the crush of fairies parts, revealing Grace and her glowing hands.
"No. Not me! Not me! You promised!" Her ruined mouth drops open and her eyes fly wide and then they're on her.
The fairy swarm descends and Grace's skin blossoms with red. One, two, three, ten, fifty blooms, like she's being hit with tiny paintball pellets that burst open and soak into her nightgown. She screams and it feels like the entire world will shatter from the agony in the sound, but I can't close my eyes and I can't take a step toward her. I'm frozen, with the shriveled old fairy fluttering near my cheek, grinning his yellow grin as Grace's skin is stripped from her bones.
"Stop!" I try to shout, but it comes out a whisper, almost unintelligible over the screeches of the feedings fairies.
They're ripping mouthfuls of her away, chomping and chewing and flinging scraps of nightgown from their fangs before going in for another bite and another and another. I'm going to be sick. I can feel it rising in my stomach, a heavy fist thrusting toward my mouth.
"Go." The old fairy pokes my cheek with his hot finger. "Leave the land of the Slake or die like the girl."
"You're not real!"
"We are all that is real."
"No! Stop! I want to wake up! I'm going to wake up!" I scream, loud enough that the nightmare begins to rip at the seams.
Holes tear in the night, and Grace's bloody body smears into a red stain. The last thing I see clearly are the old fairy's cruel button eyes narrowing to slits and then nothing but bright, mind-numbing light. (c. Stacey Jay 2012).
And on that cheerful, not-at-all-bloody note, I bid you a good day. Be back later in the week with a story about the crazy woman I met this weekend and other assorted bits and pieces of news!

A Sale for Valentine's Day!!
Because it's almost Valentine's Day (and the book has Valentine's Day in the title). And because I like you, and you're pretty (especially when you're reading), I'm dropping the price on the Megan Berry short story, VALENTINE'S DAY OF THE UNDEAD ebook to 99 cents for the rest of February. (It's usually 3.29.)
That's a 69.1% savings!!
(Or approximately that. I don't do that kind of math on Mondays. I've been wrangling a three year old all day long. It turns the brain to mush, I tell you.)
So go forth! To Barnes and Noble or Amazon and get your Megan Berry on for Valentine's Day.
Here's a bit about the read:
Q: What could be worse than spending Valentine's Day alone?
A: Spending it with evil zombies!!
Megan Berry is no stranger to heartbreak, but spending Valentine's Day serving other happy couples hot dogs while mourning the loss of her one true love is almost more than even a highly trained Zombie Settler can handle. So when her recently estranged boyfriend, Ethan, texts her asking her to be his Valentine, she ditches her bodyguard and rushes to his side.
But soon, Megan's dreams of chocolates, flowers, and lingering make-up kisses take a turn of the rotted-corpse-and-maggot variety, and Megan fears that her first Valentine's Day with Ethan, may be her last.
Disclaimer: If you haven't read YOU ARE SO UNDEAD TO ME or UNDEAD MUCH? you might not get some of this read. The good news, however, is that a paperback copy of YOU ARE SO UNDEAD TO ME is on sale over at Amazon for 3.60.
Random Sharing: If you want to see pictures of cute kids and creepy toys from the Fleamarket of EVIL that I visited this weekend, head over to the Tumblr.
Hoping to be back later in the week with a post about ukuleles and REFUSING TO SAY NO!, but we'll see how the words go. I must also make time to get something done to my hair. It's getting to that terrifying, two tone, electrocuted sheep stage. Going in for a cut, will come out either blonder or redder...I haven't decided yet... (Being able to color my hair is my favorite thing about not being an actor anymore. Well, that, and tattoos. I couldn't get those back in the day. I had to keep the look more neutral.)
Blah blah blah, I'm done talking now.
Have a lovely week!
Stacey Jay

Nicholas Financial Reports 3rd Quarter Results
(2) Average indebtedness represents the average outstanding borrowings under the Line. Average cost of borrowed funds represents interest expense as a percentage of average indebtedness.
(3) Interest and fee income on finance receivables does not include revenue generated by Nicholas Data Services, Inc., ("NDS") the wholly-owned software subsidiary of Nicholas Financial, Inc.
(4) Weighted average contractual rate represents the weighted average annual percentage rate (APR) of all automobile finance installment contracts purchased and direct consumer loans originated during the period.
(5) Gross portfolio yield represents interest and fee income on finance receivables as a percentage of average finance receivables, net of unearned interest. Net portfolio yield represents interest and fee income on finance receivables minus (a) interest expense and (b) the provision for credit losses as a percentage of average finance receivables, net of unearned interest.(6) Administrative expenses included in the calculation above are net of administrative expenses associated with NDS which approximated $54,000 and $51,000 during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $172,000 and $167,000 during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The numerators for the three and nine months include a tax associated with cash dividends. In December 2012, this amount was substantial due to a $2.00 special cash dividend. Absent the dividend tax, the percentages would have been 10.03% and 10.08% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, and 9.67% and 9.76% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Why is the general attitude in hockey so nasty? Pro football, baseball, golf, soccer, rugby are all about money but still the player is far more respectful of the person. A hand shake, a pat on the back even just a smile demonstrated in the heat of the battle just never seems to happen in hockey. In physical sports injuries happen but in hockey often the worst injuries have nothing to do with the game at all. I fear this is something that is learned/taught right from the beginning and the solution may very well be at least a generation away. People like DC have made a living promoting the nasty parts of hockey. Since pro hockey is a business perhaps it will fix this problen when teams can no longer afford to be a part of something people won't buy. I gave up watching hockey years ago because the players' attitude stinks and it has nothing to do with the money they make.

The bottom line is that the NHL is big business and that's why they're pussyfooting around with the concussion issue. The suits really couldn't give a damn about who, when, where or why a player gets a concussion. These jokers stood by and watched players, before fighting, agreeing to remove their helmets before punching each other in the head. They actually condoned players removing equipment that was designed to protect them!!!!!!. The fines and penalties that are handed out are another big joke. A 3 or 5 game suspension for an illegal , intentional hit that could end a player's career ?. A $5,000.00 fine to a player who makes 2.5 million a year ?. The NHL also condones most teams having 'enforcers' ie., knuckledraggers whose sole purpose is to beat the hell out of opposing players if/when it's deemed necessary. These goons have no place in the NHL but the league has to cater to those fans who'd just as soon see two no-talent grunts beat their faces off, as watch skilled players play hockey. The suits in the NHL are likely wishing that all the damn uproar about concussions would just go away. Interesting to note that Darren Langdon, during 11 years as an enforcer in the NHL, scored a grand total of 16 goals, while Teddy Purcell, who made it to the NHL with his hockey playing skills, has 17 goals so far this season.

Averages for Santa Susanna in September
Santa Susanna enjoys a prime location, nestled between the hills and coastline of Spain's Catalonia region. It's a small town with a lot to offer, especially for couples looking for relaxation, and families looking for a holiday with plenty of activities for the children.
Temperatures remain high in September, but are slightly lower than August's sweltering heats, ranging from 16.5 to 25.5 degrees celsius generally. Although the peak tourist season is now over, these high temperatures ensure Santa Susanna is still thriving at this time of year.
More rainfall increases this month, with precipitation expected to come in at around 85mm over the course of the month. September is a part of the thunderstorm season, so the occasional downpour and high humidity should be expected.
Those travelling with children will be glad of the services offered by Base Nàutica. This adventure company offers sea-based activities for children aged from 4 years right the way up to 18. 'Pirate' sailings are available for the younger ones, with windsurfing and wakeboarding courses for the bigger kids. There's plenty more, including canoeing, kayaking, parasailing and face painting.
If the quiet atmosphere of the town begins to feel a bit repetitive, head to one of Santa Susanna's nightclubs. The Festive Bar located in the Hotel Aquamarina is open to both guests and non guests and offers music, dancing and drinking until the early hours. There's a mini disco for the kids, too.
The Hotel Aquamarina itself is a great choice of accommodation, offering rooms from £64 per night. Rooms sleep up to 4 guests so it's great for families and groups and there's plenty of onsite activities including swimming pools, numerous bars and restaurants, a children's playground, kids clubs, a supermarket and even a cinema.

Waiting in line to handover my voting ballot. The visually Latina woman collecting ballots went to hand the Asian woman voter her "I voted" sticker. She hesitated and said to the voter, "We have Chinese ones too." The voter's body language and facial expression showed frustration but she just replied clearly in English, "No thanks, I'm fine," and took her 'I voted' sticker written in English. The woman collecting ballots was so oblivious and caught up, she had no clue of how offensive that was. I was offended.

BOGOTA -- Ecopetrol and CNPC have agreed to a three-year plan to work together on oil exploration and drilling in Colombia and elsewhere. A statement from Ecopetrol said the agreement was signed by Ecopetrol President Javier Gutierrez and Ye Xiandeng, a CNPC representative.
A day earlier, Ecopetrol reported that it had submitted offers for 12 exploratory blocks in the Round Colombia 2012, following the opening of bidding held by the National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) in Cartagena, Colombia.
Of the 12 blocks, Ecopetrol holds a 100% stake in six of them, and the remaining six in partnerships with Anadarko, ExxonMobil, Repsol, and Hocol. The total area of the blocks is approximately 3.1 million hectares and are located in the following basins: Llanos, Mid Magdalena Valley, Caguan-Putumayo, Catatumbo, Cordillera, and the Colombian Caribbean offshore.
One of the two blocks in the Caribbean Offshore is held in partnership with Anadarko Colombia Company while the other is held in partnership with Repsol Exploracion Colombia S.A. These alliances with oil companies that have a broad experience in offshore exploration and production, are part of Ecopetrol S.A.' s strategy of strengthening its presence in this basin.

Congratulations to Mandy Etherton
of Strath Creek, VIC
My main interest lies in dressage, however I have (and hope to again in the future) competed in most HRCAV disciplines including HT, CT, showing, showjumping. I am also very interested in breeding warmbloods. My 11 yo daughter is a pony club member.
When Min (Jazzmin - a 6yo warmblood mare by Jazz) was started as a 3yo, I was determined to keep her barefoot, having read how much healthier it is overall for the horse. My farrier at the time was very encouraging, and was doing a barefoot trim on my horses. Min had absolutely no problem at all with her work during her first year without shoes.
As a 4yo, I competed with Min at Dressage with the Stars, she finished just out of the Top 10, and then went on to place 6th the following April at the Dressage Festival, in the 4yo class. We were the only combination in the placings who were not a professional rider. From 3 ½ to 6 ½, Min has competed at many dressage events, both EFA and HRCAV. She has never had an issue with any footing on any surface. She also competed in the 5yo class at DWTS in 2008, again placing well with good scores. I am proud that we have competed against the best young horses in the country, with a barefoot trimmed horse.
In late 2007 I met Carola Adolf for the first time, and she trimmed our horses, and filled in some of the missing pieces for me. When she pointed something out to me, and I got down on my knees to look from ground level, she exclaimed, "AH! You're a trimmer!" and laughed.
As she predicted, I quickly discovered a passion for trimming! Carola helped me with some issues that my stallion was having with his feet, and midway through 2008 I expressed to her that I was interested in becoming a trimmer. After looking at all the hoofcare courses on offer, I enrolled as a Professional student with Equine Soundness, which has been an amazing life changing experience.
I have learnt an incredible amount, and have been able to use that knowledge with some difficult cases, including a few long term founder cases that are well on their way to being successfully rehabbed. I hope to take my final exams towards the end of this year. With my trimming and hoofcare knowledge, I am excited that I can make a real difference to horses with problems. And even more excited that I can help healthy, sound horses, to stay healthy and sound, and BAREFOOT!!
The way they are meant to be...
Congratulations to Mother and Daughter Hoof Trimmers and Horse Trainers
Bronwyn Flinn and Brittany Flinn
AEBM Members #222 and #221 of Limeburners Creek, NSW
Brittany Flinn, 19, has just started a four year university course for her Bachelor of Agricultural Business (Equine Studies). She has been trimming horses since the age of 12 and now has her own clientele. Her horse, Demo, came to her as 'nuts' and 'crippled', but Brittany has rehabilitated him to a happy, healthy and sound showjumper. Brittany 'loves to learn every day by coming across new hooves' and says she is 'excited to see the barefoot movement grow more and more'.
Bronwyn Flinn, Brittany's mum, is one of three daughters who were top showjumpers in New Zealand. Her father, who did all their own horse shoeing, was also the President of the NZ Showjumping Society. Bronwyn says she 'thought she knew everything'. Then some years ago, thanks to an unfortunate riding accident for Brittany, mother and daughter happened upon the world of barefoot and Natural Horsemanship, and have never looked back. 'Wow – what a journey!' says Bronwyn, and we think you'll agree!
Congratulations to Julie Scott
AEBM Member #196 from Meadow Heights, Vic
Name and description of horse/s: Kate – 16hh 13yr Irish Sport horse & Doulton – 16hh 11yr Thoroughbred.
Equestrian Activities: Member of HRCAV – Dressage, Combined training, Horse Trials & Nav rides
'Both of my horses have been barefoot for over 3 years and it has NEVER stopped me from doing anything that I want to do on my horses.
'I was introduced to barefoot when I was doing my equine myofunctional therapy course and thought, "I'm going to give this a go". I can tell you, I haven't looked back.
'During the years of doing EMT I have come across so many shod horses that have so many postural and biomechanical problems due to imbalances in their hooves, and I was only temporarily relieving their pain. Due to this I feel I am at the forefront of educating people (who shoe) about the benefits of barefoot, so much so that I have become a barefoot trimmer myself. If my client wants 'em off, I can take 'em of and balance that hoof.
'I recently completed Certificate III in Equine Hoof Care in Tasmania – two whole weeks of talking and learning about hooves!
'As far as my horses go, we are members of the HRCAV and do everything, dressage, combined training, horse trials, navigation rides and trail riding. I regularly use my Cavallos on navigation rides and trail rides, usually when I don't know the terrain, and they work a treat. Slippery hills, rocky roads and creeks aren't a problem for the Cavallos, they don't move and they don't rub. The comfort system saddle pad evens out any irregularities that may occur in my saddle. My horses change shape from season to season and depending on the work they are doing so it is nice to be able to rely on a product that will help manage these changes, saves me time and money at the saddler. I also recommend these to my clients.'
Congratulations to Shan Daw
AEBM Member #165 from Port Pirie, SA
Shan is a passionate barefoot horse enthusiast who works tirelessly to promote the Barefoot Movement in her area, including helping other horse owners with hoof trimming, and educating children about the benefits of a barefoot natural lifestyle for horses.
She is a member of a local trail riding groups, and has organized an AEBM-sponsored prize for "Best Performed Barefoot Horse" at a local gymkhana.
Shan is currently working on a DVD that explains how to maximize movement for horses on minimum acreage.
Congratulations to Peter and Kerryn Dunlop
AEBM Members #167 and #214 from Woori Yallock, Vic
Name and description of horses: Karramar Mystique (Myst) – 16:2 hh, 7 yo Cleveland Bay Sporthorse mare; WES Mon Cherie (Cherie) – 16:1 hh, 7yo Percheron/Holsteiner/TB mare; Noble Knight (Clive) – 16 hh, 22 yo Percheron/TB gelding and Jobina Ringer (Gamma) – 16 hh, 19 yo STB/TB gelding
Equestrian Activities: Members of HRCAV – Dressage
'In 2002 we read an article in the HRCAV's newsletter, Chaff Chat, entitled "The Harmful Effects of Shoeing" by Dr Hiltrud Strasser. We felt that if there was any truth in this article then we didn't want our horses being subjected to this harm. And the article made good logical sense. So the shoes came off and our farrier continued to trim for us.
'After about 6 months we decided we wanted to learn more about 'barefoot'. So Peter attended a 3-day Strasser seminar and took over the trimming of our horses.
'In July 2003 Julie Leitl first came to do an assessment of our horses and check that Peter was on the right track with his trimming. Julie had just graduated from the full Strasser certification course. She has been trimming our horses ever since and we won't let her go!
'Our horses have never taken a lame step by being barefoot, and our unsound horse, Gamma, who was sent to early retirement was brought back to soundness and returned to work.
'We both compete in HRCAV dressage on our barefoot horses. Peter is currently competing Level 3 (Preliminary level) dressage on his grey mare, Cherie, having pointed through Level 4 in 6 months with only limited outings. Kerryn reached Level 2 (Novice level) dressage on Clive, before retiring him at 22 yo (and still sound) to start riding and training Myst, a young mare that we bred ourselves.
'We both regularly attend clinics at Andrew McLean's establishment, the Australian Equine Behaviour Centre (AEBC). We have noticed a rapid increase in barefoot horses at these clinics, to the point that now very often more than 50% of the attending horses are without shoes!'

Some of the most striking examples of symbioses are between N2 fixing cyanobacteria and planktonic eukaryotic populations of diatoms. These partnerships are highly specific and quite common in low nutrient areas of the open ocean and are considered a major source of new nitrogen and primary production. To date, we know that N2 is fixed by the symbiotic cyanobacteria and transferred to the host diatom. Genomes were recently sequenced for several of the symbiotic cyanobacteria, however, we know precious little about the diversity of the host diatoms and what (if any) is the benefit to the symbiont in the partnership. The primary aims of the project will investigate the diversity, function, and metabolic activity of the eukaryotic host diatoms. None of the symbioses have been brought into culture so efforts to isolate the symbioses will also be included. Previously described methods for stable isotope probing (SIP) and molecular diversity (standard PCR and sequencing) will be used. New methods for single cell genome sequencing and imaging will be developed. International field investigations, including expeditions on research cruises, are expected.

Thomas Lippman's May 15 news story about Sen. Jesse Helms' legislation granting U.S. taxpayer aid to Cuba appeared to have been written almost directly from the statement issued by Sen. Helms. It missed the exquisite irony of the architect of the world's most punishing embargo, champion of the free marketplace and one of the principal advocates of getting big government out of the taxpayer's pocket, asking for millions of taxpayers dollars for government donations to address the suffering and pain that he largely created.
The senator is, after all, the author of the Helms-Burton legislation, which deliberately upped the pain threshold for the Cuban people. Sen. Helms opposes my legislation to permit the free-market, commercial sale of food and medicine by U.S. businesses to Cuba; instead, he wants to distribute taxpayer-funded aid. I urge Mr. Lippman to dig a little deeper into the senator's motives in introducing this legislation.
The Catholic Church in Cuba, the main conduit identified for the senator's proposed humanitarian largess, has never distributed aid coming from governments. In fact, the church indicated in a statement on May 17 that it will continue this policy. So, Caritas, the Catholic Church's humanitarian distribution network, will not touch this aid. Neither will the U.S. National Council of Churches or Inter-Action. Groups such as the Cuban American Alliance, the Cuban Committee for Democracy and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce-backed Americans for Humanitarian Trade with Cuba oppose this bill.
Digging a little deeper into this story might have shown that Sen. Helm's proposal is hardly a change of heart. Rather, it is a deliberate detour created to derail my efforts, and Sen. Christopher Dodd's, to lift the embargo and restrictions on the sale of food and medicine.
Our legislation, at no cost to the U.S. taxpayer, would address the food and medicine shortages in Cuba. It is supported by almost every organized U.S. religious and humanitarian group, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the United Autoworkers Union and 123 bipartisan members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

This is the best canned kraut I've ever encountered...
"Silver Floss"
Barrel Cured
Shredded Sauerkraut
Ingredients: Cabbage, water, salt.
So far I've only tried their original canned.
The first canned kraut I've tried that doesn't stink when the can is
opened. I buy the 27 ounce can... It's the only canned kraut I've
tried that doesn't slosh when the can is shaken, it's packed solid
with kraut, very little liquid. I usually use it for braising
(usually pork or weenies) but on occasion I've eaten an entire can
straight from the can in one sitting.

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Organ Pipe Coral Tubipora musica
Although the organ pipe coral has a hard skeleton, it is not a true stony coral. Instead, it belongs in the group of cnidarians that includes soft corals and sea fans. Its beautiful red skeleton is made up of parallel tubes joined by horizontal links, and bits of this animal's skeleton are often found washed up on tropical shores. A single polyp extends from the end of each tube, and when the polyps expand their eight branched tentacles to feed, the skeleton cannot be seen.

by Mark Sisson: The
Best Low-Carb Fruits (andtheWorst)
Do I need to
really even say the holidays are a stressful time of year? Every
lifestyle blog, magazine, evening news program, and newspaper will
have a stress-related feature right about now. I bet Dr. Oz has
a "holiday stress relief" show airing. It's part of the culture
— we expect holiday stress and seem to love wallowing in it. So
I'm not going to go on and on about how stress is a problem, or
even why it's a problem (I've already
done that), because we know it. So, how do we avoid it and,
once it's here, how do we deal with it? That's the important part.
How do we hack it?
Well, we don't
want to hack it all to pieces. We need stress, too — just not too
much. It bears mentioning that many things can be considered stressors
depending on the context. Lifting heavy things is a stressor, and
the right amount causes muscles, connective tissue, and bones to
respond by getting stronger, which are desirable; too much, or too
little recovery, and muscles, connective tissue, and bones suffer
and atrophy, which is undesirable. It's about context, quantity,
and quality. With that in mind, I'm going to break down anti-stress
strategies into categories.
An ounce of
prevention is worth… you know the saying. Just as Batman depends
on extensive amounts of prep-time to defeat his often-physically
superior opponents, our bodies do best when we lay a strong foundation
before stress hits. That means:
Brace for
the Punch
Stress will
come. It cannot be avoided. Accept this. In my experience if you
don't and then stress comes it will hit you harder than if you had
accepted its inevitability. How you think about stress affects and
even determines how it's expressed in your physiology. So
flex those abs and prepare for the inevitable shot to your groin.
We talk a lot
about fractals
and randomness, but there's nothing wrong with a little order
in your life, especially if you're worried about family-related
stress. I personally hate flying by the seat of my pants if large
groups are involved; I like knowing what we're doing, with whom
we're doing it, and when it's going to happen. If things
have the potential for spiraling out of control, make a schedule
to minimize the guesswork.
Balance Your
Omega 6 to Omega 3 Fatty Acid Intake
Our bodies
use the PUFAs
we eat to manufacture inflammatory cytokines, which are part of
the stress response. If the ratio is all out of whack, the response
to stressors will be overly inflammatory. An
overabundance of omega-6 fats, for example, will produce an
overabundance of IL-6, one of the premier inflammatory stress-response
cytokines that's potent in small doses but overwhelming in large
doses. Avoid industrial seed oils, vegetable oils, and try
to eat fatty fish. Take fish oil, and favor pastured animal products
over CAFO products.
Go Primal.
Being healthier,
stronger, fitter, and less metabolically deranged will prepare your
body for the coming onslaught, and going Primal is the best way
to become those things. Ditch the grains,
and seed oils
if you haven't already; start a resistance
training and sprinting
regimen to build
up those muscles and organ reserves, because you're gonna need
them; start a normal, healthy
sleep schedule. You've been mulling it over in your
head for weeks now, but it's time to just do it and go Primal already.
Avoiding unnecessary
and excessive stress is the best way, but it's also the trickiest.
Oh, I suppose we could go Thoreau and become hermits to avoid social
stress, but then we'd go crazy from isolation stress. Let's explore
some effective, realistic strategies for stress avoidance.
Know Your
Limits, and Hold Yourself to Them
Man is finite.
We can't be everywhere at once. Be honest with yourself when apportioning
your time. You probably can't wrap up work by noon, have two lunch
meetings, pick up groceries, prepare a five course meal, then meet
up with friends for drinks all in a single day without driving yourself
mad from the stress of it all. But if you're honest about your limits
from the very start, you won't have failed, and there will be no
stress — because you never convinced yourself the impossible could
be done in the first place. Don't overcommit!
Opt for Acute,
Rather Than Chronic Stress
We're built
to handle acute stress. Things like animal attacks, natural disasters,
confrontations on the street — these are examples of acute stressors.
They may not be pleasant, per se, but they make us feel alive. Time
slows down, your senses hone in, and you just tough it out. But
what about sitting in traffic for two hours every day on the way
to and from work? It's not exciting. It's mind numbing chronic stress
that drives you insane. I'm not asking you to go get mugged or wrestle
with a mountain lion; I'm saying instead of sitting around the house
or battling the holiday crowds, go for a hike. Head
off trail and climb
some boulders. Get dirty and don't shy away from rough terrain.
Shock your system with those real-world, in-your-face acute
stressors, instead of submitting to chronic stress.

Nat Tate -- April Fool's Day, 1998
On the eve of April Fool's Day, a lavish party was held at Jeff Koons's New York studio to honor the memory of the late, great American artist Nat Tate — a troubled abstract expressionist who destroyed 99 percent of his own work before leaping to his death from the Staten Island ferry. At the party, David Bowie read aloud selections from William Boyd's soon-to-be released biography of Tate, Nat Tate: An American Artist, 1928-1960. Critics in the crowd murmured appreciative comments about Tate's work as they sipped their drinks. What they didn't know is that Tate had never existed. He was the satirical creation of William Boyd. Bowie, Boyd, and Boyd's publisher were the only ones in on the joke.

OTTAWA -- The proposed extension of TransCanada Corp.' s Keystone pipeline would create jobs in the U.S. and Canada and remains in both countries' best interests, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Friday.
Speaking to reporters in Quebec City, he said the Keystone XL project would boost North American energy security and said his views are well known in Washington. "We are fully convinced that this in the national interest of both countries," he said. "It is in our judgment an important project."
His brief comments mark the first time Mr. Harper has talked about the Keystone after President Barack Obama cast doubt on the number of jobs the project could create, as well as raised concerns about the impact Keystone might have on carbon emissions. The Obama administration has yet to make a final decision on whether to allow the project to proceed.
The planned pipeline, would connect the Alberta oil sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Meanwhile, Mr. Harper also commented on TransCanada' s proposed pipeline to transport Alberta crude to Canada' s east coast. He said it is a good idea "in principle" in terms of selling the country' s energy projects. "We need to find pan-Canadian solutions," Mr. Harper said, adding, though, the project does face an independent environmental review.

The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: Feb. 8
5. Berlusconi Comes Back
Bentornato, Berlusconi! It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
Right here on our 5 Dumbest list, that is.Italy's former prime minister returned to the spotlight last Sunday with a fiery stump speech in Milan announcing his "last great electoral and political battle." Silvio Berlusconi, who was pushed out of office in November 2011 as the country's borrowing rates skyrocketed, promised his supporters sweeping tax cuts and bunga bunga sex parties for all if his center-right wins the election later this month. OK. The billionaire didn't offer voters pro bono bunga bunga. Nevertheless, he did give them a self-described "shock proposal" to scrap outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti's much-hated levy on primary residences. For the record, a recent survey showed Berlusconi's rhetoric appears to be working. His center-right coalition gained 1.3 percentage points to finish the week at 27.8%, compared with 32.8% for Pier Luigi Bersani's center left, which dropped 1.6 percentage points. On the flip side, Italian stocks, as measured by iShares MSCI Italy ETF, have fallen with the rise of Berlusconi's poll numbers. "I want to help Italy get out of this dark atmosphere the technical tax men have put it in, and in which the tax men of the left will leave it mired," said Berlusconi, deriding both Monti's centrist coalition and his center-left opponents. Monti was quick to hit back, saying Berlusconi "has never kept any of his promises." Meanwhile, Gianfranco Fini, the speaker of the lower house of parliament, tweeted that in his second cabinet meeting, Berlusconi would "decree that everyone wins the lottery." You bet your culo, Gianfranco. Berlusconi has always been a winning ticket for the 5 Dumbest Lab. That's why we are proud to support him in his quest to retake the prime minister's position. Berlusconi is not really campaigning for his old job. If Berlusconi's People of Freedom party wins, that position will go to party Secretary Angelino Alfano. Berlusconi said Sunday he would serve as both economic minister and industry minister in an Alfano administration. "That is, if Angelino Alfano reconfirms his trust in me," Berlusconi laughed about the man who would clearly be his puppet. Don't worry, Angelino. The joke's not on you. It's on the Italian people and most assuredly on German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Although we doubt she is smiling as brightly as we are about Silvio's comeback.

Justified Review: Robert Quarrelsby Dan Forcella at . Comments
"The Man Behind The Curtain" marked the midway point of Justified's third season, and what a first half it has been.
This week's installment might not have matched the bar set by some of the episodes that came before it, but it succeeded in moving many pieces around before we head down the back stretch of the season.
There may not have been an exciting episodic story, but the eponymous Robert Quarles made up for that with sheer intrigue. We learned so much new information about him, both in actual history, as well as in what he is like after watching put his hand in all of those different honey jars.
Quarles is investigating Raylan, he is trying to figure out Boyd's deal, he's bribing the sheriff, he's handling his pseudo brother Sammy, and by the end of the hour, he is paying a visit to Gary Hawkins in Tulsa.
The point is that Quarles is driven, but he may be spreading himself a bit too thin. He has too many ideas, and too many things going on, that one of them is bound to blow up in his face.
Maybe that's what he wants. If his reaction to Raylan shutting down his operation is any hint, Robert Quarles might want an epic battle like we've never seen. When he realized that Raylan was basically evicting him from the house he had his entire operation working out of, Quarles didn't seem mad, or angry, or even upset. He seemed disappointed.
This is how you're gonna do it? As if he wanted it to come to blows, or he wanted a shoot out in the desert. With the way he has been treated by Big Boss Tonin, Quarles may just want some attention. Going out in a blaze of glory might be right up his alley. He seems to be on his way.
We also found out some actual background information on Quarles. He was taken in by the head of the Detroit mob, and basically groomed to be his successor. Now, though, the don's real son is the one with all the money and the power, and Quarles is relegated to Kentucky. He's bitter, and it will probably end up getting the best of him.
Watching Quarles make all of his moves was exciting, but it wasn't as fun as seeing Raylan take out Boyd and Johnny with one hand tied behind his back, or slapping Sammy Tonin upside the head for hiding behind his daddy's title. Well, maybe his hand was tied up, but it did seem extremely simple for him. He's a stud.
Quarles' move on the sheriff, and the sheriff's subsequent move on Boyd's bar, forced Mr. Crowder's hand. Boyd called up Jim Beaver's Shelby, and asked him to think about running for sheriff. That could get interesting.
So there were a lot of moving pieces during "The Man Behind the Curtain," and there was certainly a healthy amount of new information on Robert Quarles, but was this one of your favorite episodes of the season? It wasn't mine, but maybe I'm just as crazy as Arlo Givens when he's off of his meds.

Story line awesome. Hell of a show. All the twists and turns. I wish it would last forever.
Boyd = handsome and great character. Raylan= handsome and awesome character.
Both together are great.
Don't try to take Boyd away. He partly makes the show. And the accent and teeth, wow. Love his hair too. Raylan those long legs and smooth demeaner too cool.
I'm thinking Raylan is going to have to save Gary's sorry ass one more time. That said, Quarles truly is the creepiest character to come around in a long time. (I'm looking forward to watching Raylan [& Boyd?] take him out.) And I think Wynn is having second thoughts about his dangerous & unholy alliance with Quakers to.
I love this show so much, I cannot be truly objective at all...Yes it was slow...we are used to the fast pace, the grizzly shootem ups and crazy mischief that all of the characters seem to get themselves into...It is always 5*****'s to me....I don't see how it could be anything but with the writers and actors they have on this show...The intermittent humor is smart and crisp...Interjected at just the most opportune moments...I hope this show runs for a long long while....
Definitely one of my favorites because of the crackling dialog. Never a let-up, always sharp, funny and surprising. And my favorite part of the whole Justify series is the complete amorality of everyone in Harlan County. No good guys or bad guys, just guys trying to figure the angles and working the system. No moralizing by anyone to slow the pace. I'm happy to learn we are only half way through the season.
"but was this one of your favorite episodes of the season? It wasn't mine, but maybe I'm just as crazy as Arlo Givens when he's off of his meds." Only a 3.5 star rating, Dan? Perhaps you are going Arlo without meds. ;-) Even if this is not my favorite episode of the season, this episode still rates FIVE (5) STARS (*****).
JUSTIFIED - My divine, guilty pleasure - Raylan Givens, played to perfection by Timothy Olyphant, has to be one of the
best characters ever to hit the air waves - Also, the chemistry between him & Boyd is something I can't get enough of -
I love watching it back to back - Always catch something new the second time around -
Man that Quarles gets scarier every week, like heebeejeebee scary! Love more banter with Tim, thats always entertaining, not as much as with Boyd but good none the less. It was nice to see the hat back this week~
Art: "First the A$$H0_e, then the girfriend."
Was sort of confusing on who was bad guy and good guy but show is getting better. Love the southern style drama.
All the dialogue is great (kudos to the writers!)but Boyd and Raylan are just amazing in their scenes together. I actually find myself holding my breath I'm concentrating so hard to get every nuance of their interaction. And then I rewind and watch it again for the sheer pleasure!
