text: The latest release on Transmit comes from Gaga featuring three hot productions. The original mix of 'The Camp' is first up, starting with a devastating bassline. The track ebbs and flows nicely with smooth pads in the background make this production very unique. Next is the remix by D-Unity. Solid beats mixed perfectly with rumbling base sounds and smooth melodic effects. Very interesting stuff here. As last it comes the remix by Alex Mine. A very delicate wobbly bassline that keeps the production flowing smoothly features a nice bouncy interlude beat on the foreground make this a lovely remix as well. Definitely one of the finest releases of the year from Transmit with Gaga delivers the goods plus a quality set of remixes.

Inside the Pac-12: A Mother's Day gift at Goss
"He doesn't have to take me anywhere after that," Tracie Conforto said right after hugging her son, Oregon State junior outfielder Michael Conforto, in the stands at Goss Stadium on Sunday.
"That" was the younger Conforto's two-homer, five RBI performance in an 11-2 victory over UCLA. The win gives OSU a full-game lead over Washington for the Pac-12 Conference title with the Huskies coming into Goss next weekend for a three-game showdown.

Around the WCC: Father-son combination finally happens at San Francisco
Nino Giarratano was named the head coach at San Francisco 16 years ago or shortly after Nico Giarratano left short pants behind.
For years, Nino heard about Nico's prowess on the baseball field through text messages from Brenda Giarratano and phone calls, his coaching duties preventing him from seeing his son develop as a competitor and ballplayer. Continue reading Around the WCC: Father-son combination finally happens at San Francisco
Big 12 contender: Oklahoma State closing on first conference title
There's a new sheriff in Big 12 baseball – or at least a strong contender for the title – as Oklahoma State has built up a three-game lead in the win column on the Cowboys' nearest competitor.
The Pokes from Stillwater are no pushovers in the conference after taking 2 of 3 from Texas last weekend to 31-13 overall and 13-5 in the conference.
The Cowboys are stepping outside of conference this weekend, facing Arizona State in a three-game set, and finish the year against last-place Kansas State and struggling Oklahoma. They're ranked as high as No. 9 and have a climbing RPI – sufficient to have them drawing attention in the race for an NCAA Regional.

WCC profile: Zimmer adjusting to changing roles, expectations
Bradley Zimmer isn't out to blaze any new trails, just to find some consistency.
It's been a challenge for the University of San Francisco junior. He's the highest profile player on a team battling to find its way in the West Coast Conference.
A 2013 WCC all-star, Zimmer is one of the top draft-eligible juniors in the country, a 6-foot-5, 205-pound center fielder who can hit and run. He turned a sure single into a standup triple in a recent game with Portland. That led to a big ninth inning as the Dons (20-22, 8-13) salvaged a win over the Pilots.
Batting lead off, Zimmer went 3-for-4 in that victory, the second half of a doubleheader. Hitting third in the first game, he was 1-for-4. Continue reading WCC profile: Zimmer adjusting to changing roles, expectations
Inside the Pac-12: Oregon State shows its mettle in sweep of Ducks
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Six days ago, Oregon State blew a 6-1 lead in a loss to Sacramento State.
The Beavers underwent a "come-to-Jesus" talking to from senior pitcher Ben Wetzler. Since then, the Beavers have been both resilient, patient and unbeatable.
Junior lefthander Jace Fry allowed one hit in eight innings, Michael Conforto had a first-inning solo home run and fifth-ranked Oregon State won its fourth straight in finishing off a Pac-12 Conference sweep of arch rival Oregon at Goss Stadium on Sunday with a 7-1 victory. Continue reading Inside the Pac-12: Oregon State shows its mettle in sweep of Ducks
Inside the Pac-12: Patience gives Beavers series win over Oregon in Civil War
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State coach Pat Casey said on Friday that the key to beating arch rival Oregon was beating the Ducks' pitching.
On Saturday night, Casey and the Beavers needed eight innings to prove him correct, again. OSU broke through for four hits and four runs in the bottom of the eighth to wrap up the Pac-12 series win and gain a percentage-points lead over Washington in the race for the conference title. Continue reading Inside the Pac-12: Patience gives Beavers series win over Oregon in Civil War
Inside the Pac-12: Wetzler becomes Oregon State's ace of aces
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Senior lefthander Ben Wetzler isn't interested in individual accomplishments.
He did forego professional riches to become the winningest pitcher in Oregon State history. Wetzler, a fifth-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in June 2013, returned to the Beavers for one simple reason.
"The dog pile," he said. Continue reading Inside the Pac-12: Wetzler becomes Oregon State's ace of aces

Inside the WCC: Lechich recovers from Saturday's loss with a gem
PORTLAND, Ore. – Louie Lechich shrugged off a ninth-inning disaster on Saturday to lead San Diego to a West Coast Conference series victory over Portland on Sunday at Joe Ertz Field.
Lechich, in the game to close a 9-8 victory on Saturday, was one strike away from a save with no runners on. What followed was an NCAA-contender's worst nightmare. Portland rallied for a 10-9 victory and the Pilots had an opportunity to win the series entering Sunday. Continue reading Inside the WCC: Lechich recovers from Saturday's loss with a gem

Zeroes and Ones and Your Odds of Writing a Best-Seller
Posted: January 15, 2014 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Infographics, Language and linguistics, Novels, Writing | Tags: advice on writing, book publishing, e l james, fifty shades of grey, publishing perspectives | Comments OffDid you ever suspect the runaway best-seller Fifty Shades of Grey was written by robots? Well, somebody check E.L. James for vital signs because she might actually be an algorithm. Check this out:
Surely a human being would die of boredom before biting a lip in print forty-three times in one novel.
Actually, I'm skewing things a bit. But it is true that "[s]cientists have developed an algorithm which can analyse a book and predict with 84 per cent accuracy whether or not it will be a commercial success." (Source)
By downloading books in public domain from Project Gutenberg , scientists from Stony Brook University in New York developed a program called "statistical stylometry, which mathematically examines the use of words and grammar" to determine the popularity of a book, matching the programs results to the sales of works from the past. The experiment involved a wide range of literary styles, from science fiction, to novels, to poetry. Factors in determining sales and popularity included the "style" of writing as well as novelty in plot and character (they do acknowledge that "luck" plays a role as well.)
The program accurately predicted success, or failure, of those works an astonishing 84% of the time.
So what factors seemed to indicate, in a more concrete way, what you should do to increase your odds of becoming a best-selling writer?
Writer's Spaces, Places, and Advice About Writing
Posted: January 23, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Quotes, Top 10, Writing | Tags: advice on writing, dylan thomas, edith wharton, Ernest Hemingway, hemingway's home in key west, ian fleming, john steinbeck, neil gaiman, norman mailer, polydactyl cats, roald dahl, rudyard kipling, stephen king, virginia woolf, writer's desks, writer's homes, writer's houses, writer's spaces, writing advice, writing practices | Comments Off"It starts with this: put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around." ~ Stephen King, On Writing
Pictured above is Stephen King's own attic writing space at his home in Bangor, Maine. In contrast to his statement above, his desk does appear to be in the middle of his room, but surely he means "corner" to be taken metaphorically; that is, any place that is quiet, that is yours; the place where you sit to write your work. While there are some writers who purportedly can write in the midst of chaos, most of us require a place of retreat. I believe it was J.K. Rowling who said that she cleared out a walk-in closet, put a desk and a lamp in there, and sealed herself off from the rest of the family while she was composing her first Harry Potter novel.
Here are ten intriguing places where writer's write, along with some advice for all who write:
1. Neil Gaiman's Gazebo/Cabin
- Write.
- Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
- Finish what you're writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.
- Put it aside. Read it pretending you've never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you respect and who like the kind of thing that this is.
- Remember: when people tell you somethings wrong or doesn't work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.
- Fix it. Remember that, sooner or later, before it ever reaches perfection, you will have to let it go and move on and start to write the next thing. Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.
- Laugh at your own jokes.
- The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you're allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But its definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I'm not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.
2. Edith Wharton's view from "The Mount" in Lennox, Massachusetts
"Habit is necessary; it is the habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive."
3. Dylan Thomas's Boathouse at Laugharne, Wales
"Go on thinking that you don't need to be read and you'll find that it may become quite true: no one will feel the need to read it because it is written for yourself alone; and the public won't feel any impulse to gate crash such a private party."
4. Ernest Hemingway's Home in Key West, Florida
"Writing is something that you can never do as well as it can be done. It is a perpetual challenge and it is more difficult than anything else that I have ever done."
"There's no rule on how it is to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly. Sometimes it is like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges."
"Ordinarily I never read anything before I write in the morning to try and bite on the old nail with no help, no influence and no one giving you a wonderful example or sitting looking over your shoulder."
5. Rudyard Kipling: Dummerston, Vermont
"I am, by calling, a dealer in words; and words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
"I never made a mistake in my life; at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards."
"If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten."
6. Ian Fleming's home, GoldenEye, in Jamaica
"All the greatest men are maniacs. They are possessed by a mania which drives them forward towards their goal. The great scientists, the philosophers, the religious leaders – all maniacs. What else but a blind singleness of purpose could have given focus to their genius, would have kept them in the groove of purpose. Mania … is as priceless as genius."
7. Norman Mailer's Fourth Floor Apartment, Brooklyn Heights, New York
"I've written at times about the spooky element in writing. You go in each morning, and there's a blank page. Maybe it takes five minutes, maybe it takes an hour. Sooner or later you start writing, and then the words begin to flow. Where does that come from? You can't pinpoint it. You always wonder, "Will it all stop tomorrow?" In that sense it's spooky. In other words, you're relying on a phenomenon that's not necessarily dependable. " ("Norman Mailer Interview," The Academy of Achievement, June 12, 2004)
"Over the years, I've found one rule. It is the only one I give on those occasions when I talk about writing. A simple rule. If you tell yourself you are going to be at your desk tomorrow, you are by that declaration asking your unconscious to prepare the material. You are, in effect, contracting to pick up such valuables at a given time. Count on me, you are saying to a few forces below: I will be there to write."
8. Virginia Woolf's Writing Desk at "Monk's House," Sussex, England
"Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth."
"To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm's way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin."
"Arrange whatever pieces come your way."
9. John Steinbeck's Summer Home in Sag Harbor, Maine
"The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true. "
"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen. "
"The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty."
"In utter loneliness a writer tries to explain the inexplicable. "
10. Roald Dahl's "The Gipsy House," Buckinghamshire, England
1. You should have a lively imagination
2. You should be able to write well. By that I mean you should be able to make a scene come alive in the reader's mind. Not everybody has this ability. It is a gift, and you either have it or you don't.
3. You must have stamina. In other words, you must be able to stick to what you are doing and never give up, for hour after hour, day after day, week after week, and month after month.
4. You must be a perfectionist. That means you must never be satisfied with what you have written until you have rewritten it again and again, making it as good as you possibly can.
5. You must have strong self-discipline. You are working alone. No one is employing you. No one is around to fire you if you don't turn up for work, or to tick you off is you start slacking.
6. It helps a lot if you have a keen sense of humor. This is not essential when writing for grown-ups, but for children, it's vital.
7. You must have a degree of humility. The writer who thinks that his work is marvelous is heading for trouble.

News : Banks to offer attractive new account bribes
It has been revealed that many banks are to begin offering attractive bribes to get people to sign up for new current accounts. Many limited company contractors might be lured in by the chance to get money for free, but there can be a sting in the tail so consumers are being advised to look at account fees.
The banking industry is looking to open thousands of new current accounts over the coming months, and some of the biggest names on the High Street are set to start advertising campaigns to highlight their newest deals. Many are offering over £100 in cash and free overdrafts for the first year, enticing limited company contractors to take advantage of schemes. However, people have been advised to look closely at account fees, as consumers could find that there are some less attractive features, such as overdrawn penalties, written into contracts.
The surge comes as new rules prepare to make changing banks easier. Due to come into effect in September, these new rules will allow customers to easily swap between current accounts and will make it harder for financial institutions to sell expensive packaged accounts. Therefore, banks are trying to get around the issue by attracting a lot of new customers before the regulations come into effect.
Financial expert Justin Modray said: Dont be seduced by cash incentives without first checking potential account charges, especially if youre likely to go overdrawn. Take your eye off the ball and a bank could soon claw back this money and more. Banks are too ruthless to give money away if they didnt think they could pocket a fat profit out of you, otherwise they wouldnt bother offering such incentives.

The Shoes That Won Last Night: Boston Red Sox Win World Series, Philadelphia 76ers Upset Miami Heat
The MLB season is officially over and the Boston Red Sox take home the World Series crown. Boston defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 behind a great pitching performance from John Lackey and some key hitting from Shane Victorino. Now expect some wild celebrating as well as a special edition of the champagne and campaign from the Boston faithful. It might get a little wild, but we'll give Boston a pass for whatever happened last night.
The second day of NBA action was heavy with a 14-game schedule on Wednesday night. The Philadelphia 76ers pulled off an unbelievable upset of the Miami Heat behind Michael Carter Williams having a great debut. Kevin Durant scored 42 points in an OKC win, Klay Thompson scored 38 points in a Golden State rout, and Kevin Love had 38 points in a Minnesota overtime win. It was a dramatic night filled with some great season debuts in The Shoes That Won Last Night.

They have the bus thing going on still don't they? I understand having a car is optimal and probably more convenient for what people want to do outside of work, but that was my impression was it's still there.
Printable View
I think the bus is only for CP's. I know for a fact that the Professional Interns can't use the transportation, except for certain events, such as trips to Busch Gardens.
My BF daughter who is on her second CP Tour of Duty applied to extend through the summer. Found out today she has been declined. :no:
She is not a happy camper. So one more opening at DHS!
Interesting. I haven't heard of that. And the PI site states that PIs "are required to have their own transportation to get to and from their work location."
I didn't get it, they just said there were a lot of people that were interested and a limited amount of opportunities. (which I totally got the last time I tried, but I knew I bombed that interview and accepted that.) So I'm not sure if my rehire request wasn't lifted or it being 3 weeks before the alumni program started that there really just was no room. I e-mailed one coordinator and followed up asking if I apply for fall or spring can I be considered and is there any way to find out my rehire status? We'll see, this was a long shot anyways. It's wonderful to know I made it this far though, just keep trying and don't give up.
I already know that I'll do another College Program. But I must first become a Campus Rep, retain my benefits, and remain on good standing with the Company. The only reprimands I've received came from my calling into work enough. But there were legitimate health reasons for that. Sometimes, you are simply too sick to do anything, and that was the case for me twice. I am somewhat concerned about those reprimands being constrictive, but if they ask about it, all I can do is honestly explain the situation. Since the reprimands weren't for behavioural reasons, I shouldn't have too many difficulties, I think.
Anyways, after I complete my next CP, whenever that is, I don't know what to do. Perhaps at that point I'll be ready to go full-time. I would have done so this time, had I had the money to remain down here.
There must be other ways too. My sons direct supervisor when he was leaving made him Seasonal even though he was returning to college.
He still has his benefits and receives the free passes etc. every few months in the mail and hefty room discount offers. She told him he could return anytime he wanted to.
I think it's a little late to go Seasonal at this point, as my Program ends on the 14th of May. Plus, I would have had to save up money for when I eventually would come back down for shifts. Rent, tuition, books, usw are already expensive enough. And it's not as if the job market back home is in great shape, so it may be awhile before I find steady work. Although the Disney Store may be hiring, and who knows? There may actually be some former (or perhaps even current) Cast Members there. Having the Program on my resume could possibly give me an edge in getting hired there.
I'm applying for the fall now, just for the heck of it. :) Question though, if I go for Culinary is that going to prevent me from possibly getting anything else? It's my major so that's my choice, but it kind of looks like it's a different part of the program or something.

Makes 4 side-dish servings
active time
20 min
total time
20 min
- 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled
- 3/4 lb Shanghai bok choy or other baby bok choy (5 to 8 heads)
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- Special equipment: a rasp grater; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok
- Accompaniment: steamed white rice
Cut half of ginger into very fine matchsticks (less than 1/8 inch thick; about 1 tablespoon) and reserve. Grate remaining ginger and squeeze pulp with your fingers to yield 1 teaspoon liquid, then discard pulp.
Remove any bruised or withered outer leaves from bok choy. Trim 1/8 inch from bottom of each bok choy, then cut each head into quarters. Wash bok choy in several changes of cold water and dry in a colander or salad spinner until dry to the touch.
Whisk together ginger juice, chicken broth, rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and sugar in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved.
Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Pour oil down side of wok, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat sides. Add ginger matchsticks and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add bok choy and stir-fry until leaves are bright green and just limp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir broth mixture, then pour into wok and stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender and sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil, then stir to coat.

Clean Marina Programs Beyond Maryland
Clean Marina certification has caught on! Boaters can now find certified Clean Marinas throughout the mid-Atlantic region and around the country.
Using the Maryland program as a model, Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia (along with the National Park Service), and New Jersey have developed similar
Clean Marina certification programs. Certification indicates that a Clean Marina has met its regulatory requirements (which can be quite extensive) and voluntarily
adopted a significant portion of recommended "best management practices" from their State's Clean Marina Guidebook.
Clean Marinas do not have to adopt 100% of the "best management practices" but rather a significant amount which may vary slightly in each state. In some cases,
Clean Marina programs are organized across states or water bodies, to best serve a particular region. Boaters are encouraged to use certified Clean Marinas in their
travels knowing they are clean, professional, and environmentally responsible businesses.
To learn more about efforts in the mid-Atlantic and around the country visit:
Chesapeake Bay Hotline
Call 1-877-224-7229

- Fish kill or algal bloom
- Floating debris that poses a hazard to navigation
- Illegal fishing activity
- Public sewer leak or overflow
- Oil or hazardous material spill

December 27, 2013: Following our tradition of ending the year celebrating children and young people who distinguished themselves over the past twelve months by their contributions to our communities, today we feature:
Kristyn Dexter, Katrina Fitzpatrick, and Kiana Engle, at left, presenters; and Madison Whisenand, Rebecca Colby, Caroline Copin, Kenna Vandemark, Olivia Valasques, Kaitlyn Mutchler, and Brianna Boston: Girl Scout Troop 2225, Modesto, who in February 2013 won the "Most Innovative Design of Infrastructure Systems" awrd at the National Engineers Week Future City competition in Virginia. The competition has been held for 20 years; in 2013, 35,000 middle school students in 2, 220 teams from around the U.S. entered. Working in teams of at least three students, a teacher, and an engineer mentor, together plan cities of the future by first researching and then writing an essay explaining their solution of an engineering problem. This year's topic was rethinking runoff, where students were asked to design clean solutions to manage storm-water pollution.
The girls from Modesto, under the guidance of teacher Lori Dexter and engineering mentor John Paoluccio, designed and built a scale model of a city where they successfully recycled water, wastewater, and waste into reusable products that serve their community.
"What we saw from [the Troop 2225] was the development of a whole different kind of transportation system where they did not use cars anymore but something called orbs, which I believe was on a Maglev system that would allow them to go between their various houses and village and so forth," said [American Society of Civil Engineers] President Gregory E. DiLoreto, who judged the award. "They clearly embraced the idea of an entire water cycle for their community where water was not wasted but every drop was used. In terms of trash, these young ladies turned their solid waste into heat, into another recycled product that could be reused as a valuable resource by the community."
"We were very excited to win this award," says Fitzpatrick. "...We learned a lot about city planning, but in the end, what we really learned is how to work as a team...Originally we got involved in Future City for fun. but after this [experience] many girls [became] interested in engineering, inventing, and designing different things."
The finals for th 2014 competition ("Tomorrow's Transit," in which teams were challenged to build a system "to move people around your city") will be in Washington, D.C. in late February 2014; for information on entering the 2015 competition, read here.

A Kansas City, Kan.-based fresh-cut specialist recalled cantaloupe from a Colorado shipper over fears of listeria contamination.
Carol's Cuts LLC, a division of distributor Liberty Fruit Co., recalled 594 pounds of fresh-cut cantaloupe packed in 5-pound trays as chunks and as an ingredient in 8-ounce fruit medleys, said Scott Danner, the company's chief operating officer.
Packs that could be contaminated with listeria were shipped to customers in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska on Aug. 26 and Sept. 12. Affected product has best-if-used-by dates of Sept. 3 and Sept. 19.
By Sept. 19, all affected product had been accounted for by Carol's Cuts and its customers, Danner said. Tests of the Carol's Cuts facility turned up no traces of listeria, he said.
Granada, Colo.-based Jensen Farms is the source of the contaminated fruit. Jensen Farms issued a voluntary recall of its cantaloupes Sept. 14.
As of Sept. 22, 55 people had been sickened and 8 had died as a result of eating contaminated cantaloupes from Jensen Farms.

The reason for the decking and keeping it very dry is to prevent moisture intrusion into your home. All of this only means added cost in the future, and sometimes you're looking at having to replace wood beams and patch ceilings, etc. Never skimp or buy low quality roofing paper, and it used to be called tarpaper even though there is no tar used anymore. We wanted to give you a good selection of points on contractors, and we hope you like what you have read, thus far.
So do not think what you are doing is in vain or somehow is not important. You really do need to discover more about these tips so you can make the best decisions and choices. Even though it's just plain roofing paper, there are some recommended guidelines you should follow. You can feel good about the job when it's done because you know it's right. As with all phases of a roof installation, each part has to be correctly executed. Using ordinary nails for the paper is not recommended because it will be too aggressive and can lead to tearing which is undesirable. And scope out where you'll need to cut the paper so it fits around obstacles sticking through the roof.
So your new roof will be a do it yourself job and you're good with that which is great but you need to learn about the proper ways to get the shingles onto your roof for installation. Professional roofers and contractors are experienced and have all the know-how to do this in the best and safest way. A truly experienced roof contractor can make this go so well that you will tell all your friends about him. Make it a party and have your buddies come over and give you a hand, and it will also encourage a sense of community to work on something like this. If you want to do it all by your lonesome, then do some research and learn what you need to know before you attempt it on your own.
It's funny because it is always the little things that often make the biggest difference, and that should be remembered by you. After you see the end result, then you will be happy about all the trouble you went through. You will probably never go through this again, but that is not a good reason to do a bad job.

In an interview with Passcode, GAW chief executive Garza addresses allegations surrounding his company and its digital currency, which has lost almost 40 percent of its value over the past week.
The most anticipated part of the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami was supposed to be a Q&A with Josh Garza, the embattled chief executive officer of GAW. He was going to simultaneously defend Paycoin, an imploding bitcoin-like currency he launched in December from a horde of angry investors and detractors, and celebrate it with his legion of true believers.

Solar arrays and wind turbines are prominently displayed for all Moorhead residents to see.
MOORHEAD- If you're going to be a clean energy advocate, you've got to walk the walk. And that's just what Moorhead Public Service (MPS), the municipal electric utility for Moorhead, Minn., has done.
In 1999 and 2001, Moorhead installed two wind turbines to demonstrate the potential of wind energy. The two turbines stand tall—about 120 feet high in an open area adjacent to MPS—for all the community to see. Each turbine produces 750 kW of power, or about 0.5 percent of the total electricity used in Moorhead.
In 2011, the local utility showcased a demonstration project of three solar electric arrays, a form of renewable energy that is feasible for many MPS customers. Each array is ground mounted and tracks the sun to maximize energy generation. Each contains 16 3 x 5-foot modules covering an area 12 x 20 feet; the three arrays combined produce 10.56 kW, or enough to provide four homes with about 50 percent of their electric power.
"The solar arrays are prominently displayed for the community to see, with signage describing the system," said Dennis Eisenbraun, energy services manager for MPS. "The idea is to show Moorhead that solar—and wind—are viable clean-energy options for many residents. We want to show our customers that solar works and works well in our climate. By seeing the demonstration site and knowing how much power one array generates, they can envision how much space they would need to add solar to their homes—whether it be rooftop or ground-mounted applications."
MPS renewable energy rebate
To complement MPS's "Capture the Energy®" demonstration project, MPS offers a renewable energy rebate of up to $1,500 per kilowatt to residential, commercial, industrial, and nonprofit customers who install solar PV systems and to commercial, industrial, and nonprofit customers who install wind turbines.
The Moorhead Public Service solar demonstration site gives Moorhead residents a sense of how much and what type of space is needed for a solar array to help power one's home.
Several MPS customers are intrigued by the prospects of installing solar energy systems, and Eisenbraun anticipates that interest will translate into installations in the near future. "With our rebate and with solar becoming more and more affordable each day, we expect solar to gain momentum in our community," Eisenbraun said. "In fact, we just completed processing our first customer-installed solar project with a local college."
When MPS installed its solar system, the system cost just under $100,000. A $40,000 state solar rebate (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) decreased the cost to $60,000. Today, Eisenbraun said the same size solar array would cost about $60,000, or 40 percent less than the price two years ago in 2011. A Moorhead homeowner would likely install a system about one-third or one-fourth the size of the MPS system to offset electrical costs. Taking advantage of a 30 percent federal renewable energy tax credit, the MPS rebate, and other incentives can make a small solar system quite attractive.
The payback for the MPS system is about eight years, Eisenbraun said. The payback for the MPS wind system was 11 years. Solar has the potential for more widespread application in Moorhead, because it can be installed over a much smaller area than is needed for wind, added Eisenbraun. Wind is feasible for farmers and others who live in areas where land is more plentiful.
Solar arrays exceed power expectations
MPS's solar arrays were expected to generate 18,580 kWh per year, but instead they produced 20 percent more than that through the first year of operation, from August 2011 to August 2012.
"We are producing clean energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions," said Eisenbraun. "What's more, the solar and wind systems are helping us meet our state-mandated renewable energy objectives."
In addition to the clean energy benefits of solar and wind energy, the manufacture and installation of renewable systems puts people to work. MPS used Zenergy out of Sebeka, Minn., to install its solar arrays.
Utilities spur renewable interest
The MPS solar demonstration project is one of several ways that utilities are encouraging renewable energy throughout Minnesota, according to Stacy Miller, solar specialist for the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources. Several utilities are offering rebate programs and one—Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association—is creating a community-owned solar farm where customers can purchase shares of a solar electric system from the utility to pay for a portion or all of their electricity.
Minnesota is 'solar friendly'
In addition to the renewable energy rebate offered by MPS, Eisenbraun said Minnesota is very "solar-friendly" when it comes to encouraging solar systems and other renewable forms of energy. The 30 percent federal renewable energy tax credit is probably the most significant incentive. In addition to the federal and utility incentives, Minnesota excludes the value of the solar electric system from real property taxation, and solar systems in general are exempt from state sales tax. Low-interest loans are available, such as Minnesota Housing's Fix-Up Fund Loan, to help finance renewable projects. Also, renewable energy financing opportunities may be available for rural residents through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Energy for America Program.
For a comprehensive list of incentives from federal, state, and utility sources, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency. For more information on energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions, visit the Division of Energy Resources.

East Finchley
Phoenix Cinema
London, England, N2 9PJ, United Kingdom
Original Debut: The Art Deco–style, 255-seat Phoenix originally opened as the East Finchley Picturedrome, with the tagline, "the world's finest picture plays." It has shown films nonstop ever since, even during WWII, when it was used as a makeshift home for evacuees from coastal towns (among them were 80 schoolchildren, whom county inspectors were aghast to find filling the front rows for a screening of a horror movie).
Now Showing: Owned by a North London charitable trust, the Phoenix shows independent films and the occasional classic (1963's Le Mépris, featuring Brigitte Bardot, is forthcoming). The concession still serves locally baked lemon-poppyseed cakes; and in-house projectionist Peter Bayley, who's worked in the theater since 1960, recently received an MBE (Members of the Order of the British Empire) for his service to the film industry.

In hockey there are very few set plays on the offensive side of the puck, particularly at even strength. The game is too fluid and fast to communicate with your teammates without the help of headsets, so the best you can do is try to create chaos in the hopes of disrupting things for the team on the other side of the puck, where there is actually a plan that requires people to work together within in a system. As you can see above, when things break down desperation takes over, and everyone collectively drops their bowling balls on the panic button. In that instance, the Lightning would score amidst the chaos with four seconds left to take the game to overtime, where they would eventually win in a shootout. You need everyone doing their job, or that sorta thing happens.
With the year winding down, I thought it'd be fun to add to the mass of year-end lists by sifting through my 2013 Systems Analyst posts and taking some suggestions on Twitter, then dialling in the 10 gaffe's that most made hockey fans wince. Hopefully it makes us all feel a little better about our own hockey playing abilities as we enter the depths of true hockey season this winter.
Before we get to the top 10…a few other plays of note.
Worthy Mentions
Disconnected Ovechkin
Didn't make it because: Not so much a "breakdown" as a hilarious half-ass effort
The play below became an internet sensation when someone – and I say someone, because I can't for the life of me find the original source (feel free to put that in the comments if you know) – added the perfect graphics to Alex Ovechkin's "backcheck" on this Rangers goal. What the…what the hell happened here, exactly, Alex?
Aw, such a crappy time for someone's little brother to rip the controller out of the consol. Underrated part of this goal: it's an awesome play by the Rangers. Like, really awesome.

The New England School of Communication Takes 5.1 Monitoring to the Next Level with Genelc
— Genelec monitoring is an established tradition at NESCom, where all seven control rooms in its Audio Engineering degree program feature Genelec Active Monitors —
NATICK, MA, December 15, 2009 — The New England School of Communication (NESCom) opened in 1981 with a mission to train students for careers in the broadcasting and related fields. Though it may be approaching its 30th anniversary, NESCom has kept its teaching technology at the cutting edge all of that time. This is clearly illustrated by the recent upgrade of the monitoring in NESCom's surround mixing control room to a Genelec 5.1 system consisting of three 8250A Bi-Amplified DSP Monitors for the L-C-R array, a pair of 8240A Bi-Amplified DSP Monitors for the surrounds and a 7270A Active DSP Subwoofer. The upgrade was recently completed, and included a DSP monitor seminar to NESCom students this fall. more

"These cards came out exactly how I wanted. The card stock is thicker then most cards you'd buy at a store and therefore are of higher quality in my opinion. Perfect size to fit a short Thank you note. No complaints!"
"I bought these thank you cards as they are the match to the Little Visitors Watermelon baby shower invitations that my mom got for my baby shower. I absolutely love the invitations and the thank you cards. The card stock is a nice thick weight and is the perfect compliment to the absolutely adorable invitations. Shipping time was also very good. I got them a few days or so after placing the order. I would order from tiny prints again."
"I used this little card as an insert with the invitation. I needed to add directions (quite extensive) on one side & the other side was used for where to mail "parent tips" & "baby wishes". Customer service was outstanding on helping me do this! I highly recommend tiny prints!"
"Love this for my little one on the way. I will certainly be getting the matching announcements once she makes her arrival! The pink and gray are the colors I have chosen for her nursery too so it worked great!"
"This note card is super cute with the right amount of outdoor fun and girly flair. I have received numerous compliments on the style of this personalized card. The paper is nice and thick and the speedy delivery from tiny prints is always appreciated!"

Comfy and cool
These shoes by no mean water proof, but they do resist water and it will bead up and fall off. This doesn't mean you can stick you foot in the creek and expect to stay dry, but they hold up well in the rain and when walking through dewy fields! I just wish they had a bit more padding...
These are a pretty cool shoe especially for the sale price. They have a thin, canvas body which makes them feel like Sanuks or slippers. Don't be fooled by the video below, the cement and chocolate black colors do not have the frost protection feature, and are not water proof. The main difference is that the tongue is not gusseted on these colors. However, they are still very stylish and comfortable.

135 years of BLG
BLG is turning 135. In February 1877, 65 merchants founded the "Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft - Aktiengesellschaft von 1877". They concentrated their warehouse capacities, which were scattered throughout the city, by the water, and also bundled together the handling of sea cargo. The idea sparked a long success story for Bremen – interrupted only by the two World Wars, with their trade embargoes, and the structural crisis resulting from the political and economic changes taking place towards the end of the 1980s, particularly from the fall of the Iron Curtain.
BLG's performance profile has grown through history and continuously expanded over the course of world economic developments. The port company once limited to Bremen and Bremerhaven has thus expanded considerably. The corporate group has been developing into an international logistics service provider since 1998, and is now present in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
Bremen experienced a boom as a port and trading city when services were concentrated together for the first time in German seaport history. New port capacities were soon needed. Free Port I was completed as early as 1888, and was the world's largest and most modern port basin at the time. As the owner, the city of Bremen entrusted BLG with full operation. Free Port II and the grain facility were soon added. BLG also took over the free ports in Bremerhaven in 1953, and the Neustadt Port Basin in Bremen in the 1960s.
BLG, the pacesetter for developments
The first containers came across the Atlantic to Europe in the mid-1960s, and Bremen became the first German container port in May 1966. The containers needed special equipment and vast open areas, which is why construction began on the Bremerhaven container terminal in 1968. To date, the terminal has grown to almost five kilometres in length over several extension phases.
In the early 1970s, electronic data processing was considered to be a major production factor at BLG, prompting the emergence of the Bremen Ports database and the world's first port information system in 1973. Handling companies, freight forwarders, shipping agents, load controllers and authorities all followed suit, and the bases for IT networking were laid.
When the Japanese car industry started its export offensive in the late 1970s, BLG was there right from the start, and itself began building the Bremerhaven car terminal. Today, Bremerhaven is one of the world's largest vehicle hubs with over two million vehicles handled every year.
Through its founding and the over 100 years of company history which followed, BLG has consistently proven that it can act as a pioneer in all major developments. This innovative strength also demonstrated, as became apparent in the 1980s, that port handling and warehousing alone were no longer economically sufficient. To strengthen its added value, BLG expanded its range of services, and the first logistics centres emerged in Bremen and Bremerhaven.
The way out of the crisis
The Eastern markets collapsed in the early 1990s. Classic goods flows broke down, while others sought new routes. Both these aspects affected BLG's core business. The company did, however, reinvent itself with a global strategy following its restructuring in 1997, and became an international, seaport-oriented logistics service provider.
The formation of the corporate group soon resulted in the new name of BLG LOGISTICS GROUP AG & Co. KG. The "Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft, Aktiengesellschaft von 1877" was the general partner and managing director of the limited partnership, while the municipality of Bremen was the limited partner. With 50.4 percent, it also held the majority of the stock corporation's share capital.
BLG today works with the operational business divisions Automotive Logistics, Contract Logistics and Container Logistics. By developing new business fields and expanding the services and geographic coverage, the local port company has become an international logistics group, and the close partnership with the city of Bremen has provided the solid basis for this. BLG's "publicly owned – privately managed" model has met with great interest in other countries around the world when it comes to privatising public property.
The three BLG business divisions act in specific markets, but also complement one another in a number of other fields, or create fully integrated logistics chains as consolidated services.
The Automotive Logistics division
Automotive Logistics deals with ready-made vehicles, and essentially involves worldwide distribution from the manufacturers to the dealers in the destination countries. With a volume of over six million vehicles in 2011, this division further cemented its position as Europe's leading automotive logistics provider.
The terminals by the sea, by major rivers and inland are the cornerstones of this division, and are enhanced by transportation by road, rail and water, as well as by technical centres. Here, PDIs (Pre-Delivery Inspections) are expanded to include the integration of special features, such as DVD systems, mobile telephones, navigation systems and sunroofs. Retrofitting of special series is also part of the services offered. A modern truck fleet with over 500 vehicle transporters connects the seaports with over 7,000 dealers. 1,300 special wagons have currently been purchased to transport vehicles by rail.
Apart from the sea terminals in Bremerhaven, Gioia Tauro, Cuxhaven, Hamburg, Gdansk and St Petersburg, the division also operates several terminals on the Rhine and Danube, where seven barges are used to transport cars. The Danube connection is part of BLG's Eastern strategy. In the East, the company and its services are represented in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Slovenia, while car terminals are also run in Poland, Ukraine and Russia.
The Contract Logistics division
The Contract Logistics division creates complex, individual logistics solutions for trade and industry customers. Services are concentrated on the main discipline of car parts logistics, as well as industrial and production logistics, trade and distribution logistics, seaport logistics for conventional cargo in Bremen, and the BLG Coldstore at the Bremerhaven container terminal. Logistics processes for offshore wind power are currently being developed as a new business division.
In contract logistics, not all services can be bundled into a set location network. That's why BLG is investing in places where the customers need the services. Logistics centres and special plants now work for reputable customers such as adidas, BMW, Mercedes, MAN, VW, Siemens, Konica Minolta, Ikea and Griesson – de Beukelaer at over 30 locations in Europe and abroad.
The Container Logistics division
BLG's Container Logistics division is being developed by the EUROGATE joint venture, Europe's leading terminal operator. It is based on the continental terminal plan and the addition of container transport services. The network includes transport by rail, road and water, as well as logistics services for containerised goods.
The terminal network covers the locations Bremerhaven, Hamburg, Lisbon, Gioia Tauro, La Spezia, Ravenna, Salerno, Livorno, Cagliari, Tangier and Ust Luga. 2012 will see the Wilhelmshaven EUROGATE container terminal added. In 2011, 13.3 million standard containers (TEU) were handled in the terminal network, with the strongest locations being Bremerhaven and Hamburg.
Recent development
2011 saw BLG achieve a total sales revenue of over one billion Euros for the first time. Pre-tax earnings will be around 48 million Euros. In 1998, the first financial year after the restructuring, the sales revenue was just under 250 million Euros, with pre-tax earnings of around five million Euros. The corporate group including all holdings now provides around 15,500 jobs; this was around 3,000 in 1998.

[1941] Multidimensional Shape and Color Distributions as a Computational Biomarker for Cancer Pathology
A Milutinovic, MA Reza, DE Breen, FU Garcia. College of Medicine, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA; College of Engineering, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA
Background: Imaging, both in 2D and 3D, is now a ubiquitous procedure in medicine, science and engineering. The resulting images contain a wealth of information that to date has only been partially utilized. We are developing a computational biomarker for the characterization of breast carcinomas to predict lymph node status.
Design: Our method is based on computational examination of a routinely applied prognostic panel that uses immunohistochemistry and H&E staining of 50 invasive breast cancer carcinomas with known lymph node status. This panel includes: estrogen and progesterone receptors, MIB-1 (proliferative activity), mutated p53 and HER2/neu. The highest staining marker from the panel was selected for further digital image analysis. Using image processing techniques and geometric analysis, the architectural histologic pattern and the expression of these prognostic markers were analyzed to create feature vectors that numerically characterize each tumor's features. Tumor characteristics including pathologic staging were added to the feature vectors. These feature vectors are fed into an algorithm called Support Vector Machines (SVM), which uses a training set of feature vectors to classify unknown samples.
Results: A total of 50 cases were processed to create the feature vectors. Of the 50 cases, 25 were lymph node positive (N1 and higher) and 25 negative (N0). In iterative testing of the algorithm, where one case is used as an unknown specimen and all others are used for training, the best results were obtained using a Radial Basis Function kernel with a sigma parameter of 35. Of the 50 cases, 19 lymph positive and 16 lymph negative cases were correctly classified (0.76 sensitivity and 0.64 specificity).
Conclusions: 1. SVM analysis can predict lymph node status in the majority of patients with invasive mammary carcinoma. 2. Refinement of the feature vector is currently in development to increase specificity and sensitivity. 3. N0 lymph nodes will be further studied using NSABP protocol B-32 to improve specificity in around 11.4% (detection of occult metastases).

Two year delay on CARB regs?
Posted By Marcia Gruver Doyle On June 28, 2010 @ 2:59 pm In News & Analysis | No Comments
In a series of workshops it's conducting throughout the state, the California Air Resources Board says its considering a series of amendments to its off-highway emissions regulations, which it indefinately postponed in February.
Still lacking an EPA waiver that would allow them to enforce these rules — which were scheduled to start March 1st for large fleets — CARB says it may consider a two-year delay of the regulation start date, requiring large fleets to comply by March 1, 2012. An up to two-year compliance delay may also be possible for medium and small fleets.
To view a copy of the workshop handout that details these changes, click here.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Pure Charlie.com did not quite have the amount of content I initially thought thanks to videos that really should be about 5 times longer than they are - at least! It does cast a shadow over what at the very least would be a very promising solo site from a very sexy model. It still has plenty to offer for new followers and longer-term fans though, but it just should be more substantial. Visit Pure Charlie

Haemoglobin - oxygen affinity
Last updated: Monday, 06, August, 2007
Rarely performed.
MBS Online Search Page: Click here for details
Item | Process |
Specimen | 1 mL blood in heparinised syringe (haemoximetry) or 5 mL blood in lithium heparin tube (tonometry). |
Method | Haemoximetry; tonometry. |
Reference Interval | p50 O2: 3.4-3.8 kPa (25-29mm Hg). The p50 O2 is the partial pressure of oxygen at which Hb is 50% saturated. |
Application | Investigation of patients with suspected haemoglobinopathy due to a high oxygen affinity haemoglobin variant (unexplained erythrocytosis). Investigation of patients with a likely abnormality of oxygen carriage and release due to an acquired abnormality eg, acidosis, alkalosis, hypoxaemia, carboxyhaemoglobin. |
Interpretation | Decreased p50 O2 indicates increased oxygen affinity and decreased release ('shift to the left'). Increased p50 O2 indicates decreased oxygen affinity and increased release ('shift to the right'). |
Reference | Dacie JV and Lewis SM. Practical Haematology. 8th ed. Churchill Livingstone 1995. |

Also posted this in container gardening forum.
I went out and bought a block of coir (didn't want to deal with gritty mix) today. I plan on repotting my eranthemum nigrum from a 4" pot to a 6" pot (Could I pot it into something larger, like an 8"??). My question is how much of the brick do I need to break off and how much water do I add to it?? My other question is, if I have extra leftover after I finish potting, can I let it dry out again?? How do you store extra coir you're not using?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by perennialfan273 zone 5 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 22, 12 at 21:18
I made a mistake. I just looked at the block, and the product is actually called coco pith. This is the same as coco coir, right?? Coco coir, coco pith, cocopeat, etc. I'm so confused!! Also, let's say I want to use Al's gritty mix next year. Is it okay to try a different mix, or will I always have to use coir again?? |
I'm not sure if this is the same stuff, but we use a compressed block of coco coir for bedding in our snake tank. (Yes, we have 3 Boa constrictors as pets.) When we change it I just put the short end of the block in a shallow amount of water and when it rehydrates I break it off and kind of fluff it up with more water. If it isn't enough, I wet and repeat. Nice benefit is that when it is time to change the bedding, the used bedding goes in the compost. I love stuff that has extended value. |
Hey you don't need to worry about that. Coco peat, coco coir, coco pith is the same thing. It is a great growing medium for the plants. Being reusable, it can be stored and reused the next time, as well. You can soak the blocks in enough amount of water which would make the mix damp and not dripping wet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Coco coir blocks
