Palenque is perhaps the most famous of Mexico's Maya ruins – at least for birders, thanks to its being surrounded by tropical rain forest.
We used to do a tour that spent a week based in one hotel and birded the ruins on three different days, but with this new itinerary that takes in the fantastic ruins of Yaxchilán and Bonampak and also stays at the new ecotourism project of Las Guacamayas, we now have but one full morning – our next-to-last day of this week – to wander these gems of architecture.
We arrive right at dawn in order to bird some forest trails and be among the first tourists to enter the ruins as they open. All morning long, a pair of Bat Falcons patrolled the ruins.
Though we enjoyed White Hawk, Black Hawk-Eagle, White-necked Jacobin, and Royal Flycatcher here, our luckiest find was this male Lovely Cotinga. There are very few recent reports from here, though the last time I led a tour here two years ago, we had a male in the same place.
This Swainson's Thrush, foraging on the grass below a mango tree in an open area of the ruins, is probably of the Russet-backed group from western North America. The eastern Olive-backed subspecies apparently winters mostly in South America – I've even seen it as far south as central Bolivia.
This Black Iguana was basking on the ruins.
We took some time to visit the museum and gift shop. Some amazing artifacts are on display here, such as this example of the ancients' pottery skills.
We then took a break from rain forest birding in the afternoon and went to the savanna-like habitats to the northeast of the town of Palenque. This confiding Roadside Hawk was digiscoped from within our vehicle.
Our first of many Vermilion Flycatchers.
Not your usual mockingbird, this is a Tropical Mockingbird. Note the longer tail and different pattern of white in the wing. The voice is a bit different too.
Stay tuned for next week's installment of our final day of this tour as we bird the marshes of Pantanos de Centla Biosphere Reserve.

"A decent place to work "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at TELUS
Flexability is good; Genuine care for each customer; Life Balance is ok; upward growth potential; education paid for when you are performing;
A lot of "do as I say, not as I do"; lots of talk about change, but no desire to actually do it; complex network makes it difficult to provide service/ resolve customer issues; union issues hang over your head, regardless of whether or not you are directly involved in managing unionized employees; too many old-school management who are scared of change and throw up roadblocks
Shuffle tenured directors around to new portfolios, there is too much "old blood" running legacy services, and they are unable to innovate or see the benefit of new thinking.

"Don't Make Mistakes "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at TELUS
Pros- Very large company which offers a great variety of positions and opportunities for advancement.
- 3 weeks vacation to start
- Work at home options (depending on role)
- Laptop (typically management only)
- Cell Phone / Blackberry (only some roles)
- Learning Assistance (must be applied for and dependent on area's budget)Cons- Mistakes at TELUS are not seen as an opportunity to learn. All failures are regarded as business critical, regardless of whether they truly are.
- Senior management does not understand work/life balance, even though they pay lip service to the concept. All management employees are expected to work well in excess of 40 hours per week, even if they are able to manage their schedules effectively enough not to actually have to.
- Compensation and benefits have been cut year over year and are no longer market leading. Raises at TELUS are all but impossible to come by unless you are in the top 5% of the organization. Unfortunately to be in the top 5% has little to do with actual performance and more to do with whether or not your VP likes you.
- Learning Assistance has become very difficult to come by.Advice to ManagementAdviceTELUS needs to realize that the baby boomer generation is beginning to retire in droves, and over the next 5 years the majority of TELUS' senior experts are going to leave the organization (if they have not already). Instead of courting and catering to the under 40 TELUS employee's, TELUS instead insists on following a strategy that makes younger employees leave the organization. TELUS needs to be competitive in the employment market and that means competitive benefits and compensation.

With freezing temperatures across the country and what seems like an endless amount of snow this winter, it's high time you treated yourself to a warm-weather escape at a reasonable price. Swap the white snow for the white-sand beaches of the Bahamas, unwind under palm trees on a week-long sail to the Caribbean or Mexico, traverse the famous Panama Canal while visiting tropical Aruba and Curacao, or island hop through Hawaii, all for under $1000. If slow cruising in luxury is more your speed, travel through the translucent waters surrounding the Seychelles on a yacht, visit ancient Mayan ruins on a cruise to Central America and the Caribbean, or drop anchor in exotic marvels of the South Pacific. So dig out of that snowbank and try one of these 10 warming cruises this season:
- $219+: 3-Night Bahamas Cruise w/Credit, Save 30%
- $299+: 7-Night Caribbean Cruise from Miami w/Credit
- $369+: 7-Night Caribbean Cruise Incl. Cayman Islands
- $494+: 7-Nt Pacific Coast Cruise on Princess w/Oceanview & More
- $789+: 10-Nt Panama Canal Cruise on Holland America w/Oceanview
- $969+: 7-Night, 4-Island Cruise to Hawaii in March
- $1650+: 7-Night Seychelles Yacht Cruise in March, Save 25%
- $2398+: 10-Nt Caribbean Upscale Cruise w/Air, Save 50%
- $4849+: 13-Nt Luxury South Pacific Cruise w/Oceanview & $125 Credit
- $4999+: 10-Night Luxury Bahamas & Bermuda Cruise
If a change of scenery is the goal for your next getaway, these stunning shores along the Caribbean Sea ought to fit the bill. Try a cruise stop-off in the Dominican Republic's dreamy Samaná Bay, or spread out along a 2,000-foot long coastal stretch in Anguilla; wherever you go, plan on letting out a great, heaving 'Aahhh' as soon as your toes hit the sand. Here are ten of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean to visit now.
Think you've seen everything the Caribbean has to offer? Thankfully, 2014 is shaping up to be an exciting (and change-filled) year for this blockbuster destination. We already told you about what's new in Nassau. Here's more of what's on the horizon… Read more
Change is coming to New Providence Island, the Bahamas' most populous and most touristed destination, and fast. Here's a peek at what's new in this classic Caribbean destination…
Things change. Those words are particularly apt when talking about the current hotel expansion happening in the Caribbean. On Wednesday, we showed you photos of the still-in-construction 1,000-acre mega resort Baha Mar, set to open on New Paradise Island in the Bahamas in late 2014/early 2015. Of the resort's four hotels (totaling 2,200 rooms), one will be flagged as a Mondrian, the design-forward brand normally associated with urban destinations like New York and Miami.
With its trendy cocktail bars, pool cabanas, and "Sunset Strip vibe," the Mondrian will be specifically targeting fashion and nightlife crowds. This signals a 180-degree shift from the Caribbean's usual family-oriented, mid-range hotel offerings. But this could be just the tip of the iceberg. Read more
Nine months out of the year, Caribbean islands are a postcard-ready panorama of blue skies, swaying palm trees, and cocktail-sipping, hammock-lounging bliss. But from September to November (as in, right now), they are associated with another thing: hurricanes. As we speak, reports are showing that the season's first tropical storms are already forming.
But for those willing to roll the dice, hurricane season can also yield up some incredible bargains. Flights, cruises, and hotels often go for a fraction of their peak season rates, at a time when most travelers are too spooked by the thought of having their trip washed, blown, or flooded down the drain.
And if you're worried about showing up to a ghost town, rest assured: of the 25 million tourists who visited the Caribbean in 2012, roughly a fifth of them were brave enough to travel between September and November, the peak of hurricane season.
To give you a head start, we logged onto Expedia and CheapCaribbean and chose some hotel-and-flight packages for a range of dates in late October and mid-November. All packages are priced per-person, based on double occupancy, with flights from Miami. Other departure cities are usually available for more.
Clearly, none of the following destinations can provide guarantees on anything weather-related (otherwise they wouldn't be offering the deals in the first place!). But with prices this low, you can afford to have your trip cancelled and still have extra cash lying around to re-book the whole thing from scratch. Now, get out those bathing suits! Read more
We know it's hard to think about autumn travel as the summer winds down. But booking now will definitely pay off when you see the fare sale that JetBlue is advertising for their Leave-With-the-Changing-Leaves Sale. Travel is valid on one-way flights September 3 – December 18, and you must book by August 21 at midnight (blackout dates apply). Check out a selection of our favorite fares below. Read more
Just a few weeks ago, we were celebrating National Tequila Day. But that isn't stopping bars from charging head-on into yet another booze-filled national holiday: National Rum Day falls on August 16 (a Friday, in case you were wondering), in honor of…well, no one's exactly sure. But who cares? It's an entire day of sanctioned drinking – and we're OK with that. So don your pirate hat and grab a sprig of fresh mint. Here are our picks for the best rum cocktails around. Read more
Believe it or not, summer is right around the corner. You may be sniffling from spring allergies now, but Memorial Day will be here before you know it, bringing warm temperatures, shortened work days, and summer vacations. Don't let the season sneak up on you; take advantage of the many early bird specials out there and book your summer travel now. Read more

Today we've rounded up the best of the best, from exotic international cruises to the always-popular beach destinations. Read more
Looking for a 2013 cruise adventure that won't break the bank? Set sail into the New Year and save with one of these five budget-friendly cruise picks. Cruising from close-to-home cities to popular ports in Mexico, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and beyond, these great-value 3-, 4-, and 7-night cruises all ring in from under $409/person – and one from as little as $199.
Just hurry up and book – prices are sure to spike soon, so don't miss the boat on these priced-to-go sailings. Read more
Last week, while a few of my fellow travel writers were sharing their favorite family destinations for 2013, my colleague Eileen Ogintz was shepherding her own family through the Bahamas.
That made me a little jealous, but also eager to talk with Ogintz –a syndicated family travel columnist, author, and creator of TakingtheKids.com – as I wanted to pick her brain about the trip. And as soon as she put her bags down, she graciously permitted me to do just that, as well as get some of her picks for 2013 family travel.
As you might have noticed, we've been a bit obsessed with the beach lately thanks to the East Coast heat wave. We've looked at the worst people at the beach, the crazy things that beachgoers do, and The Definitive Guide to Going to the Beach. This all started a few weeks ago when we asked you to share your favorite underrated beaches with us. We put the call out on Twitter and Facebook, as well. It's clear that you all have firm opinions on the best beaches in the world that don't get enough attention. With summer in full swing and everyone looking for ways to beat the heat without dealing with obnoxious crowds, traffic snarls, and boring routines, it's time to take a look at some of your favorite underrated and lesser-known beaches. Read more
With temperatures soaring across most of the country, it's hard for some of us to think about baking in the Caribbean sun. However, cold weather will be here before you know it, and with it a slew of new flights from the East Coast and Midwest to take advantage of tropical destinations.
Booking now for new JetBlue service from D.C. to San Juan (daily) and JFK to Samana, Dominican Republic (twice weekly) will score you big savings. Launching August 23, one-way fares on the San Juan route will be as low as $129 for travel through November 14 if you book by July 13; this will be the only non-stop flight between the U.S. capital and the Puerto Rican capital. Similarly, book by this Friday to secure one-way fares to Samana starting at $169 for flights from the November 14 launch date through February 9.

Good value for money and a quirky experience to boot
A character pub in the middle of a quaint village.
For the price (£30 incl. breakfast, en-suite double, for a Sunday night), this represented good value for money. An interesting and somewhat quirky experience; the noise from the pub quiz being held downstairs was actually quite warming although at the same time I was pleased that it dissipated at around 11pm. Room was spacious with a nice picturesque view of a village street. Apart from a few strange noises from the saniflo system in the water closet it was generally a comfortable night's sleep, in what was generally speaking a clean room. For the price, the place is perfect for contractors (like me), fishermen and those passing through, although like most places this does tend to vary depending on demand. Breakfast, whilst included in the rate, was the only let down in otherwise what was a pleasant and somewhat memorable stay.

Topping the food chain is a tremendous achievement, which is why humans triumphantly plant flag-like toothpicks in burgers and sing the national anthem at their steaks before devouring them. Enjoy life at the top with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $25 for $50 worth of steakhouse dinner fare
- $50 for $100 worth of steakhouse dinner fare for groups of four or more<p>
Jaxx pepper steaks ($27.95–$35.95) with brandy demi-glace, linguine ($13.95), and pan-seared ahi tuna ($20.95) headline the dinner menus.
Jaxx Steakhouse
Celebrity photos, including a portrait of former regular Mickey Mantle, line the wood paneled walls of Jaxx Steakhouse, known for its flavorful steaks, seafood, and pasta and its 1930s-style decor. Inside the kitchen, Chef Marcelino grills juicy pepper steaks with brandy demi-glace and pairs crabmeat-stuffed jumbo shrimp with tender filet mignon and garlic mashed potatoes. Lighter fare includes pan-seared ahi tuna, zero-gravity tossed salads, and low-carb lemon-basil chicken. An extensive wine list stands by to add accompaniment to meals, while single-malt scotch and espresso drinks tap in to finish off dinners along with a tag-team of desserts, such as white-chocolate bread pudding and crème brûlée.
A wonderful dining experience with outstanding food and service. It has always been a truly outstanding restaurant whose chef never disappoints.

Matrix management is a structure for running those companies that have both a diversity of products and a diversity of markets. In a matrix structure, responsibility for the products goes up and down one dimension and responsibility for the markets goes up and down another. This leaves most managers with a dual reporting line: to the head of their product division on the one hand, and to the head of their geographical market on the other.
Despite the potential confusion that this duality creates, matrix management was enormously popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Leading the fashion was Philips, a Dutch multinational electronics company, which first set up a matrix structure after the second world war. It had national organisations (NOs) and product divisions (PDs), and for a while they operated successfully as a network. The network was held together by a number of coordinating committees, which resolved any conflict between the two.
The crux came with the profit and loss account. Who was to be held accountable for it? At first, the answer was both the NOs and the PDs. But this was unsatisfactory, and the NOs eventually got the upper hand. Philips's PDs did not like that, and they fought back. In the 1990s, when the company was not doing so well, its organisational structure was completely overhauled. A few powerful PDs were given worldwide responsibility for the profit and loss account, and the NOs became subservient to them.
In an article in Harvard Business Review in 1990, Christopher Bartlett and Sumantra Ghoshal suggested that the problem (especially for multinationals) was that:
The authors maintained that matrix management had been part of an attempt by companies to create complicated structures that matched their increasingly complicated strategies. But it focused only on the anatomy of the organisation. It ignored the physiology (the systems that allow information to flow in and around the organisation) and the psychology (the "shared norms, values and beliefs" of the organisation's managers).
Organisations could implement matrix management successfully, Bartlett and Ghoshal claimed, if they started at the other end. Their first objective should be "to alter the organisational psychology … only later do they consolidate and confirm their progress by realigning organisational anatomy through changes in the formal structure".
Nigel Nicholson of London Business School says that the matrix structure is "one of the most difficult and least successful organisational forms". Evolutionists like him allege that matrix forms are inherently unstable because they have conflicting forces pulling towards too many different centres of gravity.
Matrix management still has its admirers, although most of them think that it works best in situations where there is a finite task involved and where everyone shares a similar sense of purpose. This includes situations like launching a new product, or starting a new business, or putting on a Broadway show, or getting a man to the moon.

India treads fine line in Nepal's political crisis
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - India is walking a diplomatic tightrope as Nepal tries to form a new government, aware that excessive meddling in its traditional "backyard" could risk pushing the fragile Himalayan democracy closer to China.
India has always seen Nepal as part of its strategic sphere of influence, but that has been challenged in the past year since the election of Maoist Prime Minister Prachanda, who before he resigned last week had edged closer to Beijing.
Former guerrilla leader Prachanda quit on Monday after his dismissal of the army chief was blocked, sparking a political crisis and dealing a blow to Nepal's peace process after a decade-long civil war that saw the Maoists lay down their arms.
Prachanda blamed "external forces" for his downfall, a likely reference to India and a sign of a growing backlash against its bigger and more powerful neighbour.
As Nepal's parties bicker over a new government, China could back the Maoists to keep their influence.
India, aware the former rebels are still the main political force with 40 percent of seats in parliament, could look for a counterweight to any pro-China tilt in a ruling coalition.
"India has to do business with the Maoists, so they will have to do a nice balancing act -- not anger the Maoists while backing the forces it thinks are favourable to it," said Lok Raj Baral, head of the Nepal Centre for Strategic Studies think tank.
"The Maoists know anti-India rhetoric now has quite a bit of appeal among the Nepali people. If India is perceived by the Maoists as too intruding it could push them more towards China."
Landlocked Nepal depends on India for trade and crucial supplies of food and fuel, the two nations share a Hindu culture and many Nepalis cross over the border to work in India.
Trade and travel links across the Himalayas that divide Nepal and China are, by contrast, much weaker.
But now India and China are playing their own "Great Game" in South Asia. Many in India fear a slow encirclement by Beijing, which has used its economic clout to win influence across the region, from building a port in Sri Lanka to selling arms to Pakistan.
India denies meddling in Nepal but it was criticised in its own media for backing army chief General Rookmangud Katawal against Prachanda in an attempt to keep its influence there.
New Delhi also has had ties with Nepal's former monarchy and the opposition Nepali Congress party, even though it helped the Maoists join the political mainstream and brokered a 2006 peace deal.
"As usual, India interfered," said Maoist party foreign department head Chandra Prakash Gajurel, adding that the Indian ambassador to Nepal met Prachanda several times to ask him not to fire the army chief. "We are not sure what India's agenda is."
That agenda may be warding off China. Some analysts say Beijing has encouraged a nationalist front to counter India.
Those fears gained ground in New Delhi after Prachanda travelled to China last year for the Olympics closing ceremony, departing from a tradition which has seen incoming Nepali leaders make New Delhi their first foreign port of call.
India has also nervously watched China's rapid inroads into Nepal with plans of a rail service from Lhasa to the Nepal border. A dozen high-level Chinese delegations, including two military teams, have visited Nepal since last year.
"The increasing level of bilateral engagement also indicates that China is wooing Nepal as a new strategic partner," Nihar Nayak wrote in a recent paper for the New Delhi-based Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.
Chinese interest in Nepal mainly centres on containing pro-Tibet politics. The battle is also for control of key passes in the Himalayas used by Tibetan separatists to go to India.
India and China fought a border war in 1962, but there is little possibility of an India-China proxy war in Nepal.
"I think there's a long-standing agreement that the south of the Himalayas is India's sphere of influence," said Kunda Dixit, editor of the Nepali Times weekly. "As long as Nepal is not the springboard for Tibetan protests, China should be okay. It looks at Nepal through the Tibet prism."

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (BABA:US) teamed with Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (LGF:US) to stream Hollywood movies and television shows as China's biggest e-commerce operator expands its video content.
Lionsgate Entertainment World will be delivered through a new Alibaba set-top box in China and include titles from "The Hunger Games" franchise and the TV series "Mad Men."
Alibaba, which may be headed toward the largest U.S. initial public offering, is adding content as consumer living rooms turn into a new battleground for technology companies. In April, the Hangzhou, China-based company led a $1.22 billion investment in online video site Youku Tudou Inc. after agreeing in March to pay HK$6.24 billion ($805 million) for a 60 percent stake in ChinaVision Media Group Ltd. (1060), according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"It's another way for us to get content into the China market with a great partner," Jim Packer, Lions Gate president of worldwide television and digital distribution said in a telephone interview. "We're always exploring opportunities in China, it's a growing content market, it's a content market you have to be in."
The service will also enable subscribers to see behind-the-scenes footage and receive screening invitations. Packer declined to disclose the details of the partnership structure and the price for subscription. The service starts next month.
IPO Valuation
Santa Monica, California-based Lions Gate said TV shows including "Nashville" and "Rosemary's Baby" will make their Chinese debuts on the new service, which will also add movie titles including the "Divergent" and "Twilight" franchises.
Lions Gate currently distributes content online in China with partners including Youku Tudou Inc. (YOKU:US) and Sohu.com Inc. (SOHU:US), said Packer.
"We are committed to expanding our ecosystem where our users can meet, work and live," Patrick Liu, president of Alibaba Group's digital entertainment business unit, said in the e-mailed statement.
Alibaba filed for an IPO in May. The company has a value of $168 billion, according to analysts' average estimate. While the valuation may change with the updated financials, it indicates a price of 45 times the latest year's earnings, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Alibaba released its first set-top box in collaboration with Wasu Media Holding Co. (000156) in September. On October, it announced it would release another box under the Tmall brand, the name of one of Alibaba's biggest e-commerce platforms.
China's set-top box industry is facing increased government scrutiny.
Regulators banned cable networks from pre-installing unapproved operating systems on set-top boxes, according to a July notice. The pre-installation of unapproved video applications in TV set-top boxes was banned in Zhejiang and Shanghai, Sina.com reported in June.
Alibaba said it would increase its investment in content and adjust based on regulators' requirements.

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is applied to analyze the electrical properties of gold films, whose relative permittivity is described by the Lorentz-Drude model in infrared and optical frequencies. The skin depth and reflectivity are calculated using the frequency-dependent FDTD method. The results are compared to analytical solutions and an excellent agreement is reported.

This is a lined wool skirt that I made from a self-drafted pattern and it is hand stitched. It took forever (getting the fit right, especially) so getting this finished really feels like a victory.
I used instructions that I found here from this book.
Come visit me on my blog!
180 grey wool and lining that feels like Bemberg but burns like cotton. (The shopkeeper said it was cotton for what that's worth.)

Buzzword: Earmark
A congressional Trojan horse brings us this week's Marketplace Money buzzword, "earmark." An earmark is an allocation of money, often attached quietly to an unrelated bill. It's one way the folks in Congress fund pet projects. When the bill is passed, the earmark leaps out and takes a chunk of the federal budget. One infamous earmark? The bridge to nowhere in Alaska, which had a price tag of 223 million bucks. This week the Senate passed new rules that would make Senators more accountable for earmarks. It could be the Trojan wars are coming to an end.

Military Personnel:
Actions Needed to Strengthen Implementation and Oversight of DOD's and the Coast Guard's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Programs

In 2004, Congress directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to establish a comprehensive policy to prevent and respond to sexual assaults involving servicemembers. Though not required to do so, the Coast Guard has established a similar policy. This statement addresses implementation and oversight of DOD's and the Coast Guard's programs to prevent and respond to sexual assault incidents. Specifically, it addresses the extent to which DOD and the Coast Guard (1) have developed and implemented policies and procedures to prevent, respond to, and resolve reported sexual assault incidents; (2) have visibility over reports of sexual assault in the military; and (3) exercise oversight over reports of sexual assault involving servicemembers. This statement draws on GAO's report on DOD's and the Coast Guard's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response programs issued on August 29, 2008 (GAO-08-924). For this work, GAO reviewed legislative requirements and DOD and Coast Guard guidance, analyzed sexual assault incident data, and obtained through surveys and interviews the perspective of more than 3,900 servicemembers on sexual assault matters. GAO made 11 recommendations to improve implementation of DOD's and the Coast Guard's programs. These include, for example, reviewing and evaluating guidance and training, and improving oversight of the programs. DOD and the Coast Guard concurred with the recommendations.
DOD and the Coast Guard have established policies and programs to prevent, respond to, and resolve reported sexual assault incidents involving servicemembers; however, implementation of the programs is hindered by several factors. GAO found that (1) DOD's guidance may not adequately address some important issues, such as how to implement the program in deployed and joint environments; (2) most, but not all commanders support the programs; (3) required sexual assault prevention and response training is not consistently effective; and (4) factors such as a DOD-reported shortage of mental health care providers affect whether servicemembers who are victims of sexual assault can or do access mental health services. Left unchecked, these challenges can discourage or prevent some servicemembers from using the programs when needed. GAO found, based on responses to its nongeneralizable survey administered to 3,750 servicemembers and a 2006 DOD survey, the most recent available, that occurrences of sexual assault may be exceeding the rates being reported, suggesting that DOD and the Coast Guard have only limited visibility over the incidence of these occurrences. At the 14 installations where GAO administered its survey, 103 servicemembers indicated that they had been sexually assaulted within the preceding 12 months. Of these, 52 servicemembers indicated that they did not report the sexual assault. GAO also found that factors that discourage servicemembers from reporting a sexual assault include the belief that nothing would be done; fear of ostracism, harassment, or ridicule; and concern that peers would gossip. There were also concerns that reporting an incident would negatively affect their careers or unit morale and that a report made using the restricted reporting option would not remain confidential. Although DOD and the Coast Guard have established some mechanisms for overseeing reports of sexual assault, neither has developed an oversight framework--including clear objectives, milestones, performance measures, and criteria for measuring progress--to guide their efforts. GAO's prior work has demonstrated the importance of outcome-oriented performance measures to successful program oversight, and that an effective plan for implementing initiatives and measuring progress can help decision makers determine whether initiatives are achieving desired results. DOD provides information on reports of alleged sexual assaults annually to Congress. However, DOD's report does not include some data that would aid congressional oversight, such as why some sexual assaults could not be substantiated following an investigation. Further, the military services have not provided data that would facilitate oversight and enable DOD to conduct trend analyses. While the Coast Guard voluntarily provides data to DOD for inclusion in its report, this information is not provided to Congress because there is no requirement to do so. Without an oversight framework, as well as more complete data, decision makers in DOD, the Coast Guard, and Congress lack information they need to evaluate the effectiveness of the programs.

Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).
Sodium/hydrogen exchangers or sodium/proton antiports are a family of transporters that maintain cellular pH by utilising the sodium gradient across the plasma membrane to extrude protons produced by metabolism, in a stoichiometry of 1 Na+ (in) : 1 H+ (out). Several isoforms, NHE6, NHE7, NHE8 and NHE9 appear to locate on intracellular membranes [3-5]. Li+ and NH4+, but not K+, ions may also be transported by some isoforms. Modelling of the topology of these transporters indicates 12 TM regions with an extended intracellular C-terminus containing multiple regulatory sites.
NHE1 is considered to be a ubiquitously-expressed 'housekeeping' transporter. NHE3 is highly expressed in the intestine and kidneys and regulate sodium movements in those tissues. NHE10 is present in sperm [8] and osteoclasts [2]; gene disruption results in infertile male mice [8].

(M/C ment)
Kind of having a bit of a down-and-out day... I was on the April board before and still check in often to see how the other ladies have been doing, seeing their tickers made me realize that I would have been 20 weeks today. I feel like I've put a lot of pressure on myself this cycle and have probably created a lot of unnecessary TTC related stresses because I feel so desperate to conceive again since my m/c in September.
Our timing was pretty good this cycle despite DH being inconveniently out of town, so I'm just hoping that the next week passes quickly so I can have a real answer instead of trying to compare how I feel now vs. how I felt when I got pregnant the first time.
As badly as I want to get pregnant ASAP, I'm also terrified that something will go wrong again. I hate to be such a downer, but I needed to vent! I'm hoping to check in here more and hopefully I'll get to stay and get to know you all better!
Hugs, and pity parties are fully allowed. I've been having one of my own for awhile. I haven't had a loss, but from what I've heard it can make it really scary the next time you get pregnant with all the what-ifs. All I can say is let yourself feel whatever you need to feel, but be kind to yourself. We're here for you.
Oh that has to be so hard to see those other ladies moving on... I can't imagine. I'm so sorry honey. You are totally allowed to pity yourself as much as you need. Just be sure to get help if you feel it's moving past healthy, normal grief into a real depression.
Good luck to you. And big hugs!
Big hugs Jessica! I hope you don't mind my posting, but I just wanted to say that you're in my thoughts and I hope you get a BFP really soon!
Vent all you need. We are here for you. I hope this is your month. Hugs.
Joshua- 04/08/08
Sofia- 06/10/09
11/2012, 12/2012, 2/2013
Jessica, I'm sorry you had a down day. I know how much of a roller coaster you have been on with this whole process. I have everything crossed for you that this cycle is a success with a healthy sticky little bean.
I'm right there with you. I had the EDD for my March loss earlier this month and the board for my August loss (march 2013) have all been finding out genders. Plus AF arrived so I have to start over with a new cycle. Sigh
Thanks everyone, it has just been one of those weeks. I'm grateful for pg.org and all of you, I don't have many people IRL that I feel comfortable talking to about this, especially the woe-is-me part. I do have a friend who had a m/c a couple of weeks after my D&C, but we had totally different experiences at different stages. While we're sharing a similar grief, I still feel like we're on different pages.
Right after the m/c, I kept making these 'goals', and it started out as hoping I'd get pregnant by the time my EDD would have been in April, but then that turned into Christmas which turned into right freakin' now. I feel like a jerk because I feel like we're racing to have the first grandchild/great-grandchild on both sides. By the end of January, there will be 4 of us on DH's side all TTC and the thought of someone else getting to announce their pregnancy first makes me panic!! How irrational is that!?
Im also getting really sick of people asking if I'm pregnant yet (we just got married in September), it's a jab every time someone asks.
So glad it's the weekend, I have to go into work for a couple of hours, but I can't wait to come back home and plant myself on the couch!

Bought this bike 8 months ago. Rode it home over 700 hundred miles yes that's right 700 the first weekend I owned it.....frankly I didn't want to get off of it. Great power and performance. Plenty of storage in hard bags. For a bike that was 11 years old It felt like being on a brand new bike. Heated grips maybe the best thing ever. My cousin owns a busa and one ride on this machine and he was trying to get me to trade him. He said it was exactly the right balance between sport bike and gold wing.
