Last year, Congress passed Wall Street reform in response to the financial meltdown of 2008. My focus during that debate was to make it far easier for American families to manage their financial affairs without worrying about the tricks and traps that banks may have hidden in the fine print of contracts.
That's why I introduced a bill with the help of Professor Elizabeth Warren from Harvard to create an independent financial watchdog whose sole purpose would be to look out for the needs of American families trying to use financial services wisely.
That idea ultimately became the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is being established now and will become an independent regulator this July.

I'm not familiar with an ASUS laptop, but I know that a Sony VAIO has a firewire bus for the cdrom. You might want to check to see if your cdrom is firewire or IDE. When you use your gentoo boot CD, try lsmod and see if it is loading any special firewire drivers. This might can help you find out. -Michael On Sat, 23 Oct 2004 00:19:08 +0200, Jaroslav Sladek <jaroslav.sladek@...> wrote: > On Fri, 22 Oct 2004 23:29:03 +0200, Henri Magnin <henri.magnin@...> wrote: > > Hi > > > > I recently purchased an Asus M6 (Centrino 1.6GHz), and did not want to bother > > anymore with the Windoze Family stuff. > > > > I wanted to install a modular Linux, which I could master and upgrade as I > > like. > > I earlier tried muliple other distributions (Aurox, Mandrake), but I did no > > longer expect to have any "straightforward" or "magic" install which was too > > tricky to update in future. > > > > I downloaded Gentoo 2004.2, started from stage3 (in a first trial), and > > compiled a 2.6.7 kernel. > > > > All was Ok, I even compiled X11 and kde and ati_drivers, to try employ at > > best my Radeon 9700 graphics card. > > > > My concern is about the CD-Rom on my own (very new) linux install. > > When booting from the install boot CD-Rom, I have a /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 device. > > > > But in the /dev of my hard-disk install, there is no such entry.

Transgender announces the end of the world
Not very often one has the chance to put a recorder in front of such a particular, strange and crazy character as Andrea Paredes. And even if her name doesn't ring a bell to anyone, she's the outgoing transgender tennis player, the same one that, long ago, started wearing make up and skirts hoping to get her looks as close as possible to those of a woman through that religious act.
She just laughs at the mocking she may suffer because she's convinced that the salvation of the world is just within her and she doesn't hesitate to proclaim herself as a messenger from God whose mission is to avoid the end of the world and to warn people before the Antichrist's arrival.
I'm one of the main Chilean thinkers of the new economy. Besides, I'm very mystical and esoteric; I've studied about the profecies and the Antichrist, she warns. Her theory: the end of the world through a chip -motorola-, the size of a grain of rice, made of lithium and which will be incrusted beneath the skin. The worst part is that if anyone tries to take it out he could die, and even if you managed to do it, the police of the world will arrest you. We'll all be forced to wear the chip.
According to Paredes, this is the evolution of the plastic money to the electronic money, which will be ruled by a worldwide government, -the Antichrist-, and everyone is going to be identified: Here in Chile they're already putting it in animals. With that chip no one will be able to avoid paying taxes, because it's a GPS system.
-What kind of danger does that chip represent?
-This is the mark of the beast, because The Bible says neither the poor nor the rich, nor slaves nor the free, no master and no serf, no one will be able to shop if they haven't got the 666, which is the internet protocol and the chip. A furious dictatorship is going to be imposed through it.
-Whose dictatorship?
-The Antichrist's, who will become the president of the European Union and will establish a worldwide goverment that would allow him to control everything, not just the economy but our souls too.
-Is he going to have a trascendental life?
-He would start his government in 2005 and, three years after that, he will suffer a deadly terrorist attack, but the Apocalipse says he was fatally wounded and survived. He will be the incarnate devil and will rule for three years, the last years of this world. When Pope John Paul II dies, Francis Arinze, a black cardinal from Nigeria, will take his place and he will be a satanic Pope, a fake prophet that will fully support the Antichrist.
-Could you tell when and where the end of the world is taking place?
-In 2012 Jesus Christ will come and find a world that allows everything... the world will be a field of black magic, everybody will have sex with everybody. We'll live in an apparently happy and perfect world and that's how the devil will get our souls and when God confronts him, the devil will answer that we belong to him because we have his mark, -the chip-.
Makes sense to me, where do I sign up?
RIP Elena Baltacha, thank you for dedicating your life to a sport we all love. You'll be missed but never forgotten.

Real to Offer Open Source Windows Media for Linux
ScuttleMonkey posted more than 8 years ago | from the open-source-the-drm-too dept.
228cpugeniusmv writes to tell us News.com is reporting that RealNetworks plans to release an open source method to allow Linux users to play Windows Media files. Currently Linux users are able to play the two main Windows Media formats (wmv and wma) but only if they install closed-source modules. The ability to launch this initiative comes from a recent licensing deal between RealNetworks and Microsoft and the antitrust settlement against Microsoft.

This is a very rich shimmery red. It would be beautiful on many skintones. In comparison to OPI I'm Not Really A Waitress, I would say it is slightly deeper and richer in color, but along the same lines. I actually prefer the color. I took off a star because it does take a while to dry.

HARTFORD H.E.L.P. U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey organized the first Homeless Experience Legal Protection (H.E.L.P.) program in 2004 to provide pro bono legal assistance to the homeless in New Orleans and has since expanded it to 15 other cities. Prompted by a January, 2009 visit from Judge Zainey, Connecticut Appleseed began developing a H.E.L.P. program for Hartford.
H.E.L.P. Project Launched October, 2009
Hartford H.E.L.P. started providing free legal assistance to homeless individuals at two Hartford shelters in October, 2009. With the exception of July and August, these free clinics have alternated continuously between Mercy Housing and the House of Bread on Tuesday mornings. Between one and three attorneys staffed each clinic each week and were typically assisted by two students from the University of Connecticut School of Law. During the initial 24 months, roughly 85 clinics assisted more than 300 homeless individuals with the issues that troubled them and thwarted their independence. The issues most commonly raised, in descending order, were:
Connecticut Appleseed's Administrative Role
Connecticut Appleseed led the recruitment of local attorneys and law students, prompted and oversaw development of a training manual for the volunteer lawyers, helped recruit trainers for the volunteer attorneys and assumed ongoing administrative responsibilities for the program. Those responsibilities include motivating, scheduling, reminding, debriefing and thanking the participating volunteer attorneys. Law firms and bar associations that have participated through June, 2012 include:
Appleseed also ensures ongoing communication with shelter management, collects and manages feedback from participating attorneys by means of a survey and reports on the Hartford H.E.L.P. project through the website (www.homelesslegalprotection.org) for the national H.E.L.P. program. Generous support from the Fund for Greater Hartford enables Appleseed to handle these administrative tasks.
Taking Hartford H.E.L.P. Forward Through 2012
Law firms and bar associations have already committed to staffing weekly H.E.L.P. clinics from September through June of 2012, assisted as usual by students from UCONN Law School. Each volunteer attorney participates in a training course and receives a manual preparing them for the topics typically raised by homeless individuals. Early this Summer, the Hartford H.E.L.P. team will begin recruitment and training for the Fall.

The UK's fastest-growing regional news network
See the full forecast for your area.
Sponsored by Britelite.
Andy Marshall was named man-of-the-match as Broadstairs beat Sandwich in a thrilling final to win the county six-a-side indoor cricket crown at Canterbury on Sunday.
Having been put in, Broadstairs' Andrew Bailey (29 not) and Marshall (26) opened well but their start was not consolidated and their total of 89-5 set up an exciting climax.
With three wickets in hand, Sandwich wanted 13 from the last over which was Marshall's one and only – and decisive.
One of his gentle deliveries, straight up and down, yielded a catch and, with Sandwich now needing three more runs from the final ball to level the scores and win the title, having lost fewer wickets, he bowled Liam Evans, leaving them on 86-5.
The umpires gave the man-of-the-match award to Marshall when the trophies were presented by Mrs Pam Jarman, formerly competition organiser for many years.
Broadstairs' next test is the ECB regional play-off on Sunday, February 9, away to Wanstead and Snaresbrook at the Essex county ground, Chelmsford. The regional finals are at Canterbury on March 2.
Broadstairs (71-0) had beaten Upchurch (66) in the semi-finals with Sandwich (109-3) overcoming Nonington (52). Sevenoaks, Tilmanstone, Canterbury and Street End made up the last eight.

When Aubart moved into the house in 2007, the place was almost uninhabitable. Feral cats roamed indoors and outdoors. There were no litter boxes. Aubart scoured, repainted, refinished. She turned a carport into a heated shed, decked out with shelves and cubbyholes and numerous exits, where she could feed ferals. And she set about trapping and fixing the cats, determined to transform the property into a model managed colony.
These days the house is presentable, if still a work in progress. Late in the afternoon, Aubart gets ready for the evening feeding, bustling from kitchen to living room, surrounded by three domestic cats and two dogs, including Little Man Tate, a small, vocal scamp of indeterminate breed, rescued months earlier in Mexico. In a pen are three feral kittens somebody asked her to foster, assuring her they were only four weeks old. They're not.
"These were dumped on me Saturday," she says. "They're eight weeks old. At four weeks, they're easy to socialize. But eight weeks is a little old. You need someone who's going to be holding them a lot, not someone who works twelve-hour days."
She picks up one of the kittens. It hisses, but tolerates her caress. "It sucks to be me," Aubart mutters.
As the sun sinks, the ferals begin gathering in the back yard. Four, five, six — more lurking in the shadows. Some have matted fur and resemble tufted rugs that have been left out in the elements too long. Others are sleek, black or gray, but clearly not in their prime. Aubart says she has about a dozen regulars, most of them ten years or older, well beyond the life expectancy of the typical feral.
Sparrow, a one-eyed snaggletooth, is at the front of the line. When Aubart first arrived, the other eyeball was still attached but dangling out of the socket. She has names for all of them, knows their individual quirks and temperaments: Carrot. Rainy. Pettie. Mattie. Lucas. "I love these cats as much as I love my own," she says. "They're not domesticated cats, but they're not wildlife. They're their own category."
Not all of the neighbors love the ferals. Many longtime residents are used to the cats that wander the alleys, but others have complained about unwanted visitors and deposits in their yards. Aubart plans to install mesh barriers above the privacy fence in her back yard to keep the cats contained there. But first she has to rip up the yard, which now is a sea of weeds and stickers, and reinforce the fence at ground level to keep the cats from digging out.
Aubart opens cans in the shed, dividing the contents among several plates. Sparrow and the others surround her. The crowd seems to double magically, as cats slip into the shed from two directions. A few still hold back, wary of the two-legged visitors. Some ferals can become accustomed to a single caretaker, enough to tolerate contact with that person — but no others.
Some want nothing to do with any human. Four ferals live in Aubart's house and never go outside. They are all failed experiments in socialization. Three of them the former owner tried to domesticate. "The other one is my fault," Aubart says. "You can only wait three weeks to get them back to their colony. I waited too long. Now I have a cat I only see every few weeks. He loves the other cats, but he hides from me."
Colonies such as this one are the only alternative to mass extermination of ferals, says Angelilli. She points to another successful colony in her own Five Points neighborhood, where one couple has trapped fifty cats over a period of three years and returned them. The neutered veterans now stay close to their feeding stations. "This is a community problem, and it needs a community solution," she says. "You can't depend on one small agency to manage the entire feral cat population of the metro area. It's unrealistic."
After all, cats are inherently social creatures, and over time, colonies can spill into each other. Managers have to be vigilant and keep an eye out for newcomers, especially if the left ear isn't notched. Aubart knows her shed is a beacon for wandering cats of all kinds, even if they have a home somewhere.
"I have nine regulars that I see every day," she says. "But I've also had seven new ones since February. Four of them are tame."

World Playoffs Day One Recap
For the first round of the World Playoffs, eight teams faced off in two groups for a chance to move on to the quarter finals against the seeded teams Team SoloMid, Moscow Five, Team WE, and Taipei Assassins. With only half of the teams advancing today, every match was a battle for tournament survival, and the best-of-one format meant there were no second chances. Group A In the first Group, Azubu Frost, Invictus Gaming, Counter Logic Gaming NA, and SK Gaming were all thrust into the arena. The first game was an explosive back and forth between Azubu Frost and Invictus Gaming. Invictus scored an early lead over Frost and managed to hold onto it for the entire first half of the game. However, a disastrous Baron fight for them resulted in Frost pulling off a steal to take the lead with minimal losses. By picking hard-scaling champions like Jax, Frost was able to last until their late-game power kicked in and turned the match around. The second highlight match of the group featured SK Gaming and CLG NA, who were each down one game after losses to Frost and iG respectively. Both teams went for global map presence, with SK picking up Shen while CLG NA ran three Teleport spells. After a sneaky Baron kill, SK Gaming attempted to kick in the door on CLGs mid. This opened a window of opportunity for Doublelift to split-push with a promoted minion while his team held the line. Suddenly, the base race was on! Despite SK having the Baron buff in their favor, it became quickly apparent that CLG was in the lead as SK attempted to Recall and defend. A few quick teleports from CLG NA brought the game to a white-knuckle finish. Despite their impressive second game, neither CLG NA nor SK Gaming were able to advance past the group stage. Azubu Frost would draw TSM in the next round, while Invictus drew Moscow Five. Group B NaJin Sword, Counter Logic Gaming Europe, Saigon Jokers, and Dignitas made up the second group of the day, and the evening games were just as fierce as the morning. Saigon Jokers put on an impressive performance in their first match against NaJin Sword, but like the Frost vs. iG match, Sword managed to draw the game out until their superior late-game comp won them the match. The rest of the group seemed like a warm up for Sword as they rolled through Dignitas and CLG EU in quick games. Maknoon clearly earned the award for MVP of the day for his unbeatable performance in top lane. Counter Logic Gaming Europe also advanced to the quarterfinals after routing the Saigon Jokers. While the Jokers performed well in their match against NaJin Sword and had scored an upset victory over Dignitas, CLG EU was able to seize an advantage early on in their match. From there, they were able to snowball to victory, choosing to engage their opponents only when they had a huge advantage. NaJin Sword moves on to face Taipei Assassins tomorrow, while CLG EU will do battle with Team WE. The action starts up again at 12 PM PST with Moscow Five vs. iG in the quarter finals. Check out our official website to watch all the matches streamed live. |
That Maknoon
CLG EU! go go Froggen!
Ugh awful showing by North America. One win in six games is just not good enough. Hoping TSM has a much better showing tomorrow. Though I will admit the ending of the CLG.NA game was as exciting as any match I ever saw.
CLG NA had a beast base race and froggen farmed so well@@@ tsm gonna own tomorrow
Well, I learned that Saigon Jokers is a quite good team. And Korea dominates again, as expected.
Although I don't think they've got a chance to win it, I'm a huge CLG EU fan. Absolutely love watching Froggen and Krepo play.
First time really watching some live lol. gotta say its been great. really well done on so many levels. the extra coverage really makes the difference. great production, quality, pace, presentation, commentating, games. hats off!
Disappointed CLG.NA is out though. I'll be rooting for the brother team. |

A sincere thankyou to Dr Joanna Robson From Inspiritus Equine for coming out to Australia once again for Equitana to be a guest speaker, and to promote her practice.
After many dinners talking about equine back health and planning our lecture, we had truly the best crowd we have had in a long time! Everyone was so receptive, interested, and agreeable to what we were showing them! I am so thrilled to show our clients the missing link of what was upset, chaos and confusion over which saddle you should use, who to listen to, and what to look for in a saddle that DOESN'T FIT!
For a sneak peek, see the three images below! Yes it is a real horse's scapula, which unfortunately I had to throw out, as after a year in the freezer, I had tried to vacuum pack it, but it wasnt enough to keep out the smell from 39 degree Sydney heat! A very humorous joke between the family & Joanna found it extremely funny, I was just sad, as I could no longer use it in my lectures due to the horrible stench! However I did take photos!
Below you can see from left to right
1. Saddle tree which if not fitting correctly can DIG into the horse's scapula, and cause irreversible damage
2. The Adaptree(r) which is a patent design, allowing COMPLETE shoulder freedom movement, curved away from the scapula, and extremely flexible, moving with the horse as he bends and flexes.
3. The difference between a standard tree and the Adaptree(r)
I won't explain much more as i think you should see the video for yourself! Scroll to the bottom of this post for the link to watch the seminar in HD courtesy of EQ Life Magazine.
Testimonials from the Lecture! THANKYOU!
- My friend and I attended one of your talks and spoke to your son after, we were so thrilled to have such important information right in front of us, it was fantastic! Thankyou
- I am a big advocate for having a saddle correctly fitted to my horse so the Saddlefit4life presentation was very informative.. thankyou
- After seeing your presentations at EQUITANA, I realize that this is the type of saddle our horse would benefit greatly from.
I currently have a quality saddle that I have had fitted 3 times by a prominent SA Saddle Fitter, but my horse still gets a sore back. I finally got a different saddle fitter who discovered it sits too far back past the last rib therefore giving him a continuous sore back.
Your presentation supported this, which was a great help.
- Thank you for your presentation it was extremely insightful.
- Hi Team Horobin, I have just returned from Equitana, and what started as an education process last year, got another boost along this year. I am now convinced that my current saddle (despite several attempts, and new saddle) is not fitting my horse correctly, and I am dedicated to finding the right solution for my horse to ensure his comfort.
- Dear PH Saddlery,
After watching Saddlefit4Life I was really inspired by your saddles and how much care you took in fitting the needs of both horse and rider. My horse is incredibly hard to fit! He is a big 16.2hh thoroughbred with a high and very long wither. He has a big chest but really falls away after the shoulder. Since I have had him he has picked up 60kg in the last 8 months. I adore him to bits! ……
- wow – Just watched the seminars, Will be out to measure my horse tonight and see if his Amazone still fits. Thank you so much
- The lectures were great, thoroughly enjoyed them!
- Dr Robson, your lectures were inspiring to check all my saddles on my horses!
- What to say a BIG thank you to Joanna & Peter for such fantastic clinics at Equitana this year, has been an eye opener and can't wait to put all I learnt into practice checking my saddles when I get home :)
- Saw Joanne & Peter, and their explanation and chalk drawings made it very clear my Kieffer saddle is not right for my horse, even before I came home and checked all the reference points on my horse and ran my fingers through the gullet. At the rear of the gullet it is down to 1 finger, how did they ever come to make them like that????? And I believe that is what they call a standard gullet they only custom to other sizes??? Now to try to save enough money to buy a new saddle!!! Thanks again for the very great explanation and insight into the reasons behind using a saddle with a tree and how to fit them.
- Thanks for your help with the Education Peter, wonderful event glad you guys enjoyed! :-)
- Any chance there might be online access to this or another lecture for those of us who couldn't be there but are really interested? Maybe sometime in the future, on your website or UTube?
- Thanks so much Peter- this is fabulous! You've ignited my interest..
- Thank you for your help yesterday Peter. I can't wait to get my new saddle!

Travelfish correspondent Ayesha Cantrell
Ayesha first travelled around South East Asia over 10 years ago on her way to Australia via South Africa. With the firm belief that the travel bug would be out of her system she returned to the corporate rat race and very quickly realised her mistake.
She soon ditched her power suit in favour of a wetsuit and ventured back to Ko Tao to indulge in her passion for scuba diving. Her love for Koh Ta established itself as she lived there throughout her progression to Scuba Diving Instructor.
Leaving was hard but she tore herself away and travelled and dived working in The Maldives, Egypt and visiting many other far flung spots to take in underwater world.
Ko Tao was always calling and four years ago she returned, unpacked her bags and accidentally bought into a dive centre.
Apart from writing for Travelfish she manages the Master Divers Blog and whenever possible is underwater with her camera shooting fish!

Bam Bams in Ko Tao is one of those rickety looking, plastic chair, roadside Thai restaurants with garish wipe-clean table covers.

Cappuccino Bistro is the only French-owned bakery on Ko Tao.

Ko Tao is almost a year-round destination but depending on what you are looking for during your visit there are considerations to take into account when deciding which month to come, such as weather, crowds, visibility for diving and which critters are around in the ocean. The busiest times are between July and early September, … read the full post
Should I do PADI or SSI?

As if choosing a dive centre on Ko Tao wasn't a big enough task in itself, you are then likely to be asked if you would prefer an SSI or PADI course. Here's what you need to know.

Choosing a dive centre on Ko Tao

I always enjoyed my meal at Parker House, but it closed in October 2012. I believe it may still be available for special events, however.
I always enjoyed my meal at Parker House, but it closed in October 2012. I believe it may still be available for special events, however.
I am the CEO of an organization in this area. When I was brought in (from out of town) for a dinner interview for my current position, it was here at the Parker House. (So it is a bit special for me!) The food, service, and atmosphere are all excellent.
The last time that my husband and I came here, we declared it the best restaurant in the Jackson area. Sadly, last night that did not hold true. My snapper was really tough, and it had a large blood line. The mashed potatoes were luke warm at best. The taste was pretty good, but it was hard to get excited... More
My new favorite place to eat. Food as well as our server Trey was amazingly. I would go back just for the crawfish cakes and smoked cheese quesadilla alone. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the entree arrived. OMG the red fish with the lemon beurre blanc sauce was spoon licking good.
The food and service were excellent. This is one of my favorite restaurants. I highly recommend it.
Good food, not exceptiona, but overpriced! Our service wasn't what you would expect for the price, either.
An older establishment--but very romantic and "special"! Menu selections are appealing and never disappointing! Prices are a bit higher than "average"--but worth it! And did I mention DESSERTS!!???? YUM!!!!
We are locals, so you can take that for whatever that's worth. Parker House was the hot restauant back in the day, now it is facing a little more competition. We had seafood all around the table. The sauces on the fish are great. My tuna was a little overcooked, but was close enough. My mother had shrimp and grits... More
This is one of my family's favorite restaurants in the Jackson area. They have fabulous food and unique specials. They have a nice outside seating area during the spring and fall. Perfect for happy hour!
As you leave highway 51 going back into the city of Ridgeland, you will notice a "ranch house" over to the left just past the railroad tracks. You will think to yourself - well, that must be where somebody lives. Well, it's not! It's where one of the best 3 restaurants in Jackson resides (if not the #1). The service... More

We seek outreach, introspection, and community discussion in order to create a culturally welcoming and professionally enriching environment.
This mandate cannot be relegated to just a few. All faculty, staff and students in the Division of Biological Sciences must work to develop and implement programs as well as embody principles that create and sustain a culture of inclusion.
A group of 70 excited and inquisitive youngsters had an opportunity to explore laboratory environments recently at the University of California, San Diego as part of the campus's outreach efforts to encourage K-12 students to pursue careers in STEM fields. Read more
Thirty students from three Los Angeles High Schools (Bravo High, King Drew High and the California Academy for Math and Sciences) came to UCSD August 6-10 where they learned about California plant communities are responding to climate change. The students participated in lecture, lab and field exercises, and analyzed data that they collected at the Scripps Coastal Reserve (one of the 36 reserves in the University of California Natural Reserve System). Associate Dean for Education Gabriele Wienhausen spearheaded this event, the first of its kind at UCSD. In future years the program will expand to 60 students and target high performing high schools across Southern California with a high proportion of underrepresented minority students.
UC San Diego and Howard University are forming a partnership program aimed at increasing the number of African-American applicants to UC San Diego graduate programs, particularly in the fields of science and engineering. Read more
Biology faculty contribute to graduate student recruitment at SACNAS.
November 8, UC San Diego
Associate Professor Gentry Patrick will give the keynote address, with 1,500 graduate students expected to attend. Check back soon for more information.
November 12-15, San Antonio Texas
Each year the Division of Biological Sciences has students, post-doctoral scholars and faculty that attend. Travel awards are available for both students and post-doctoral researchers.
"The environment at UCSD is exceptionally collegial, collaborative, and supportive."
Pamela Reinagel
Associate Professor, Neurobiology
"At UCSD, every person is just a person - not any particular kind of person. There is a nice positive environment."
Jim Kadonaga
Professor, Molecular Biology
"I am very encouraged by the division's commitment to including postdocs as a part of the scientific community and to providing career development opportunities for both academic and non-academic careers. Such efforts have already proven extremely valuable and will allow postdocs at UCSD every opportunity to succeed."
Susan Cohen
Ph.D. Postdoc, Golden Lab
"I truly value the commitment that UCSD has made to inclusiveness, and in its ongoing efforts to provide training to faculty, postdocs, staff and students in increasing diversity throughout all levels of our community. The integration of the diverse insights and points of view that UCSD encourages has greatly enhanced my experience as a postdoc."
Chris Palmer
Ph.D. Postdoc, Neurobiology
"The Division builds an inclusive environment through its support of career development opportunities for post-docs, including faculty-postdoc mentoring events, involvement in Divisional committees, and teaching at UCSD and elsewhere in San Diego. I have felt encouraged to establish a learning community centered on STEM education and diversity issues, which is invaluable to my development as a scientist and future mentor."
Suzanne Lee
Ph.D. Postdoc
"Maintaining a diverse faculty is a major challenge in any institution. UCSD Biology has attempted to face this challenge head on by actively recruiting top-notch diverse faculty as well as creating an infrastructure to attract and train excellent graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from diverse backgrounds."
Gentry Patrick
Associate Professor, Neurobiology
"Of the three major universities where I have been a faculty member, I have felt most valued at UCSD. The Division of Biological Sciences is a great place for women scientists at any stage of their career."
Teresa Markow
Professor, Cell & Developmental Biology
"I truly value the opportunity to interact with diverse members of our faculty both scientifically and socially. I particularly enjoy learning about the life experience behind the success and struggle of individual colleagues. I feel grateful to be a member of a world-class academic community with strong effort to increase the representation of our society."
Yishi Jin
Professor, Neurobiology
"I am continually impressed and inspired by both my fellow faculty and the students... I appreciate the recognition among my colleagues that work-life balance is essential, and I feel supported as I navigate the challenges of being a mother to two children while maintaining the rigorous research program required of an Assistant Professor."

Accomplishing that is a daily challenge, he said.

Delaware North Companies Sportservice to enhance fan experience at CenturyLink Field
RENTON, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks, Sounders FC and First & Goal Inc. (FGI) announced today the selection of Delaware North Companies Sportservice, a global leader in sports hospitality, as the new exclusive food and beverage services provider at CenturyLink Field, CenturyLink Field Event Center and the WaMu Theater.Under a multi-year agreement, Sportservice will manage and operate all general concessions and premium dining at the stadium, home to the Seattle Seahawks (NFL), Seattle Sounders FC (MLS) and numerous concerts and consumer shows.
"We look forward to many new and expanded concessions offerings for our fans in the concourses, club level and suites," said Seahawks, Sounders FC and FGI president Peter McLoughlin.
FGI and Sportservice will work together to develop new hospitality amenities and create destination spaces to allow for new food concepts and increase the number of portable concession carts throughout the facility.
"We are excited about our new partnership with the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders FC and the great FGI organization and are committed to bringing a new level of food and service to some of the best fans in sports," said Rick Abramson, president of Delaware North Companies Sportservice.

The company will take over operations at the stadium in early 2013 in preparation for the upcoming Sounders FC season. At that time Sportservice will also begin operating the event center and theater.
Sportservice has developed a strong reputation in the industry for its culinary expertise and innovative concessions concepts. The company's chefs are mentored by Delaware North Corporate Chef Roland Henin, a highly regarded certified master chef who also happens to be a Seattle resident.
In addition, the company's customer service program, GuestPath®, is highly regarded by the teams with which it works, as is its environmental management program, GreenPath®.

Survey Says GPLv3 Is Shunned
Waiting for GPL V4 (382 comments)
It doesn't seem fair to attack Microsoft with GPL V3 without also going after Google. Google gets to use GPL software without ever having to release source because they're not selling software, they're selling services. If Microsoft did that GPL V4 would come out faster than you can say Free Software.

Do you remember when you
were young
Trying to put a puzzle together
and things just didnt fit or belong
And no matter how hard you would
try, everything would just go wrong
and you couldnt laugh
but instead would sigh
Do you remember when I was a kid
and made you and Ma smile
from the things that I did?
Happy go lucky never a doubt
and now Dad, I cant figure it all out.
Someone told me Get over it, hes
gone and then I read a memorial
from someone they loved
A year or seven
Doesnt change a thing
For only your heart
reminds you of that terrible pain
Sometimes as I drive down the road
memories come rushing in
and seem to unfold
its almost like being able to see
your face
And that smile that no other
could take its place
Losing our home and you in
less than one year
and Rog being sick
Doesnt spare any tears
I go off alone and hide the ache
but theres no one to reach out
to Dad, for Gods sake
I never felt so all alone
all that I wish is
you were back home.
I miss you so very much, Dad
Your Bonnie

Adding my voice on choice
With all the debate going on in blog land at the moment about the proposed bill to decriminalise abortion, I had a whole big post about my tale of two unplanned pregnancies in mind. Especially because people seem to forget that these pregnancies involve people that do actually have a brain. Yeah, women have brains.
But then when I started writing and tried to deal with all the stupid comments I've seen around the place, it seemed like the individual stories don't freaking matter. I'm not going to change the minds of those that consider me a baby killer or a slapper who should have dealt with her actions. So screw 'em. I'll write a general post on the decriminalisation of abortion if I want.
So, what matters to me is that we have access to abortion should we choose to go that path. The decision whether to continue a pregnancy and keep the baby, adopt out, or get a termination should be made by the one that is most affected, the pregnant woman. She is able to take into consideration as much or as little as she needs, given that she is the one that is going to go through pregnancy and birth, or the abortion.
Right, I just figured out where I am going with this and why I wanted to tell my particular story: I was able to make a choice. Two of them in fact.
I chose to go through with my first pregnancy. I was 16 weeks pregnant when I found out, at University in Dunedin, and 19 years old. I heard a lot of shit in the week or so that it took to make the decision to continue with that pregnancy: my friends declared that I'd have to give up studying (I didn't), the guy involved (who turned out not to be the father) telling me that I was selfish bringing a child into the world that would potentially be affected by fetal alcohol syndrome (she wasn't), and on and on. I knew I'd made the right decision when I admitted to myself that I could continue with that pregnancy and still achieve everything I wanted to do and I'm so glad I had that choice.
When I found out I was pregnant a second time, I had a completely different experience. I was in a fairly stable (at the time) relationship and my friends were completely supportive of my choice either way. I had Hannah already so I wasn't dealing with the unknown. In fact, that was it. I knew exactly what I could handle and exactly what I couldn't. My partner at the time was clear about what he wanted and was there for me where he could be. I knew there was no way I'd be continuing that pregnancy as I just couldn't fathom being a single mother of two children and I'm so glad I had that choice.
And here's where I give up on my idea about not responding to idiots whose minds I cannot change, and comment on the assertion by some of them that terminations are used as birth control. No. No they are not. In my experience, I had what felt like a zillion appointments. Most of them involving time off work or trying to fit in around lectures. Hardly the easy access that using an abortion as birth control is made out to be. And then I was given news that the time between getting sign off from the first doctor and the first appointment at the women's clinic would be two weeks.
Those two weeks waiting were the worst few weeks of my life. It was insulting that it seemed like the health system was trying to make me question my decision and also depressing that our services are so stretched that they have to make a woman wait for so long for the procedure. I grieved for lost possibilities; I'm not doubting that there is emotion involved when you decide to have an abortion, but it was even more stressful remaining pregnant when I didn't want to be.
And let me tell you now, the actual termination procedure isn't pleasant. I had support from my boyfriend throughout but I still felt so alone. And that isn't even dealing with the physical aspects, I'll save you those particular details (although feel free to ask me any time). Using that procedure as birth control is just laughable. And let's not forget that was my second unplanned pregnancy so I probably do fall into the category of those who "they" consider use abortion for birth control. But that shit does happen. Especially when there isn't a perfect contraceptive option; and with the options that are available, the risks or invasiveness seem to directly relate to efficacy.
So, the alternative, continuing with that pregnancy and giving birth to a baby I didn't want, was unthinkable. I really do applaud those who are able to do that and adopt. I've come across so many couples who really want a child and struggle to conceive one themselves, so I totally support that as an option. But it wasn't the choice for me, I am glad I had that choice.
In the end, the choice is personal. The whole point of this post is to say hey! Let's change our laws and take abortion out of the Crimes Act and stop treating women like they don't have brains. Yuhuh.
P.S. I happen to want to reduce the number of abortions, like most people. I believe this is best addressed with good quality sexuality education and building the self esteem of our kids. It's also part and parcel with the aims of the feminist movement more generally. I intend to do my bit with my own kidlet in this regard.P.P.S. This is a personal blog so I reserve the right to delete comments that I wanna delete and too fricking bad if you don't like it.

Great post.
In the UK we are fortunate to have the choice.
I like to think it would never have been something I'd have opted for, but who knows. I've known intelligent women whose sterilization failed. I've known a young woman who fell pregnant after her prescription interfered with the contraceptive pill (she's now a single mum). I've also known friends who work with children (yes children) of 14, 15 years of age who have become pregnant, sometimes as a result of abuse.
I certainly don't believe it is a decision any woman takes lightly and from those I know who have taken that path the repercussions are longlasting.
I like to think (perhaps naively) that choice means just that, choice. Can it ever be a fully informed choice? I don't know - who can tell what the consequences of the decisions we make today will be on the future.Thanks for posting your thoughts.
I think this is such a huge issue and not something that can just have a 'right' or 'wrong' slapped on it...its bigger than that.
I dont have any children myself but I am really looking forward to that part of my life when it comes :)
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences - you are very braveMy first pregnacy was also unplanned and I must say, given different circumstances I would have chosen another path. It definately crossed my mind (shhhh). Unplanned pregnancy is a hard thing to deal with without the added pressure from outsiders urging you to make the "right" choice. And some pregnancies just happen, despite how many precautions are being taken at the time (take my word for it!)...
anyway what I wanted to say was good on you for being so brave with this post and sharing your personal experience. It's a very hard thing to do.
xxAll i can say is thank you for sharing your personal experiences, its very brave of you.
I think the issue here is whether we as a society think we can tell people how to live their lives. In England we are lucky that abortion services are relatively easy to access, but it Ireland, it is illegal and this forces many women in to difficult and desperate circumstances.
We have to face up to the fact that unplanned pregnancies do happen, no one is perfect and no contraception method is perfect either. If abortion was to be made illegal it would be the imposition of one set of morals held by the minority on the majority. We have to give people the choice to choose other wise we are limiting their personal freedoms and becoming a dictatorial state which chooses its citizens lives for them.
Having a child is a commitment for life, and it is a commitment which needs to be made in a circumstance which are unbiased and free from discrimination and pressure. Only then will child poverty decrease and living standards as a whole rise.
Once again, a very good post.

Thank you Nikki, you are very brave to share all this.
I agree, it's so important to be reminded that behind the debate, there are individuals who have to deal with the reality.
I'm lucky never to have had to make this decision. I tend to think that if I don't know how I would deal with it myself, how can I expect to tell others what to decide?
Reading posts like this helps me put it in perspective. Pivotal memory for me - 1975, in town on Friday night with my mum and nana. Outside Woolworths are a couple of women at a table with a petition on it. It was to feed into abortion law reform, and I've always been proud of my mum and nana for signing it without hesitation, even though I didn't really get it at the time.
Good post.- Carol12:16 pm
Hi Nikki, I read your blog from time to time and haven't left a comment before (rude of me I know) - so I wanted to tell you what a brave blog entry it was, thank you for telling your story. You're right - many have similar stories it's just that we don't necessarily hear them. I too had my first child very young - he's your age now - and I used to feel like you sometimes, life was passing me by while my friends were having fun. 25 years on I have a different view - I had my children when I was full of energy and had all the time in the world for them, and then in my 30's I studied and embarked on a whole new career, without the pressure to beat the biological clock and juggle day-care. I know it seems like a long time now, but honestly, snap your fingers and Hannah will be babysitting for your friends kids and you will be swanning off after work for a drink whenever you feel like it :)
ReplyDelete Hi Nikki - your blog was recommend to me by my friend megan at mousehouse.
Wow, I had no idea NZ was not pro-choice. I got quite a shock reading the link you put up. Originally from Napier, I have been living in Japan for coming up 12 years. On my last visit home, at 18 weeks with my third, I had a visit with a midwife clinic in Napier - they sent me for an ultrasound for the 17 week anatomy check or whatever - the one that tests for downs. I was in NZ for two months. The nurse said that 'if the test came back positive' and 'if I was so inclined' I would have choices to go down to Wellington and terminate the pregnancy if it was before 24 weeks. I am pro-choice but 24 weeks seems wrong to me.
Over here in Japan, where the pill is not so readily available and most women I know have never been on it, the abortion rate is a lot higher than in NZ and when i went to the doctors at about 6 weeks for all my pregnancies the first question I was asked was 'will you keep it'??
Thanks for sharing your story.

Hats off to you my friend for sharing your story and being so honest. I hear you and completely understand what its like to go through this.
Because I had a baby that died people now assume that I am a right to lifer - why? I am not. So don't think that I am going to get all weird on you or anything. They are 2 completely different issues, so far removed from eachother its not funny. I have been through both so I get it.
Good on you again for being so open and honest.

(in Oz, you know the one) Whilst i have no opinion on anyone else's abortion choices (because i do not live their lives) i would be interested to hear what methods of contraception failed you and why? I think too many times we hear "it does happen" but other than unprotected sex girls are not told of other ways they could end up in this situation. Antibiotics void the pill, vomiting (think young girl with a hangover!) would mean your pill wasn't ingested. Condoms break or expire... the list goes on. We need to share how to avoid the pregnancy just as much as what to do once you are already pregnant surely?
ReplyDeleteGoosey chew - not that it makes any difference whatsoever to the debate over decriminalising abortion, I was on the progesterone only pill both times - with my first pregnancy I wasn't taking it reliably enough to work so also took the emergency contraceptive pill. The second time I was on the mini pill as a method of contraception and took it as religiously (as humanly possible). I had also just stopped breastfeeding which may or may not have had a slight contraceptive effect in the previous 13 months.
Needless to say, I went on a much more effective contraception after that - depo provera (although that had its own issues). And should have also heeded the warning my midwife gave me that the mini pill might not be enough.
But yes, I agree that we need to talk about how to avoid pregnancy - and just as much how to avoid sexually transmitted infections. I mean, that wasn't the point of this post but I do get your point.

Michelson Laboratory China Lake, building 5, is a 543,000 square foot historical building with over 1,600 employees. The facility is broken up into multiple wings which
houses complex computer servers, large UPS systems, research and development, manufacturing, and administrative areas. The facility has its own central cooling plant which has close to 2000 tons of cooling and is feed steam from a central heating plant.
Other important factors related to the facility are the multiple clean rooms, high altitude chambers, heat treatment, and materials plating.
The facility is heated and cooled through use of hot deck / cold deck, constant volume AHUs. Much of the facilities energy and water use is not only related to cooling and heating, but for process equipment.
Statement of Work:
SEA performed energy and water assessments of the facility including: building energy efficiency simulations, cost evaluations, life cycle saving analysis, investigation of HVAC systems and controls, uninterrupted power supply systems, lighting systems, envelope, process load, plug load, water heating, water conservation, thermal storage systems, and renewable energy including wind and photovoltaic.
Our recommendations of more than $20,000,000 included the following.
- Water Conservation
- Upgrade Fluorescent Lighting
- Lighting Controls
- Destratification Fans
- Constant Volume AHU's to VAV
- Variable Speed Pumping
- Premium Efficiency Motors
- Frequency Converters
- Fume Hood Improvements
- DDC Improvements
- Window Upgrades – Acceptable with Historical Standards
- Daylight Harvesting
The savings analysis revealed close to $1.2 million dollars per year of avoided cost. The savings in energy and water will be obtained by not using nearly 2,500 kilogallons of water, nearly 5,000 MWh of electricity, and greater than 10,000 MBTU in gas.

>>> We've Moved - Blippitt Is Now Viral Video Box <<<
A woman in California is getting lots of attention for filming 100 days of workouts and becoming an inspiration to others.
ABC News reports:
A California woman who took on the #giveit100 challenge, promising to film 100 days of workouts, lost 18 pounds and became a viral sensation in the process.
LaKeisha Shurn, of Berkeley, Calif., worked out for 100 days straight and filmed each of those workouts as part of the challenge, which calls on people to try something new and record a 10-second daily video of their progress.
"I have low self-esteem. I am going through depression, and I want to change all of that," Shurn, 32, says in her first video. "I want you to see how one person really changes everything about their life."
Check out her inspiring video below.

The government is now pressuring British Petroleum to deploy undersea sensors designed to better measure the amount of oil leaking in the gulf.
Currents are beginning to spread to crude miles away from the original spill and the numbers have grown significantly since the rig exploded last April.
Officials now speculate around 66 million gallons have polluted the ocean, but the uncapped spill leaves them uncertain.
The spill is now six times worse than the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989.

Paris: 27 June 2013
Time: 15h00
Attend the virtual launch webinar for IEA book published in partnership with Clean Energy Solutions Center
The IEA will launch our new comprehensive Buildings Technology publication, "Transition to Sustainable Buildings: Strategies and Opportunities to 2050", in partnership with the Clean Energy Solutions Center in a webinar on Thursday 27 June. A launch webinar will start at 15h CET (Paris) [6am San Francisco; 7am Denver (location of Clean Energy Solutions Center web portal); 9am Washington, DC; 2pm London; 9pm Beijing; and 10pm Tokyo]. A video recording will be posted online after the event. For more information, visit https://cleanenergysolutions.org/training/transition-to-sustainable-buildings
Buildings represent the largest energy-consuming sector in the economy worldwide: the sector consumes more than one-third of all final energy and half of global electricity, and as a result is responsibile for one-third of global carbon emissions. But technologies and measures exist already to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of the building sector. The new IEA publication Transition to Sustainable Buildings focuses on those technologies. Transition to Sustainable Buildings completes a suite of technology-focused analysis for the three end-use sectors of buildings, industry and transport. It builds on other IEA energy efficiency analysis and highlights actions that can be pursued today.
The Executive Summary and information regarding purchasing the book will be available on the IEA Bookstore web page at http://www.iea.org/w/bookshop/b.aspx?new=10 on 27 June 2013.
