Female birds often copulate outside the pair-bond to produce broods of mixed paternity, but despite much recent attention the adaptive significance of this behaviour remains elusive. Although several studies support the idea that extra-pair copulations (EPCs) allow females to obtain 'good genes' for their offspring, many others have found no relationship between female mating fidelity and traits likely to reflect male quality. A corollary to the good genes hypothesis proposes that females do use EPCs to increase the quality of young, but it is the interaction between maternal and paternal genomes — and not male quality per se — that is the target of female choice. We tested this 'genetic compatibility' hypothesis in a free-living population of Savannah sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis) by determining whether females mated nonrandomly with respect to the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc). During both the 1994 and 1995 breeding seasons, female yearlings (but not older birds) avoided pairing with Mhc-similar males (P < 0.005). The Mhc similarity between mates also predicted the occurrence of extra-pair young in first broods (P < 0.007) and covaried with estimates of genome-wide levels of similarity derived from multilocus DNA fingerprinting profiles (P = 0.007). The overall genetic similarity between adults tended to predict female mating fidelity, but with less precision than their Mhc similarity (P = 0.09). In contrast, females appeared insensitive to the size, weight or age of males, none of which explained variation in female mating fidelity. Taken together, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that females sought complementary genes for their offspring and suggest either that the benefits of heterozygosity (at the Mhc) drive female mating patterns or that the avoidance of inbreeding is an ultimate cause of social and genetic mate choice in Savannah sparrows.

Hike to Greeley Pond
This has turned out to the classic story for this Vacation.....30 minute hike turns into 3 hours! Unbelievable hike..I think my favorite of the trip. Probably because it wasn't uphill! We wondered if the pond was really there, then there it was. Gorgeous, of course. No one else there. Not many folks on the trail. Leaves falling and glowing everywhere. Really hard to describe. So we thought we would leave by continuing the trail around the pond...but one problem...the trail didn't ...

Tennessee Republicans Aiming for Dual-Supermajority
Tennessee Republicans expect to add to their already considerable advantage in the state House tomorrow. That's despite the loss of seven Republican incumbents in August primary races. Governor Bill Haslam is predicting GOP supermajorities in both chambers.
That would allow Republicans to overcome any procedural challenges by Democrats, and prevent the minority from being able to halt legislative proceedings by walking out. The state GOP spent $1.3 million last month alone on candidates, more than twice that of Democrats. State House Republicans have a 64 to 34 advantage over Democrats in the 99-member chamber; while Senate Republicans go into the election with a 20-13 majority.

A good idea, I think
I love buying and reading magazines, especially those women's mags you see near the supermarket check-outs. I buy from one to three a week. Once in a while I spot a good recipe, or inspiring article or decorating idea I can use, but for the most part, the magazines end up in a pile. I used to bring the magazines to work, and the other ladies enjoyed them. But I quit last July and I don't want to drive back there, it's 40 miles and gas is too expensive. A relative was recently hospitalized for a few days, and I went to visit. There was a lobby in the hospital for visitors and a few old bedraggled magazines on a table. Well, I went home, gathered up all my old mags, then dropped them off in this lobby. I imagine they delighted the visitors and maybe even a few were brought up to the patient rooms. This hospital is about a ten minute drive from my home. I plan to bring my mags over everty time I get a pile.
That is a great way to use magazines!
I'm another magazine-a-holic and for awhile had a pretty good rotation system going, mostly with my MIL. We would trade magazines with each other after we'd read our own subscription issues, then I kept them for my sister, and finally I'd take them in to work.
Then...I went nuts with a discount service and now I'm getting SOOOOO many magazines I can't keep the flow going. My MIL doesn't like some of my newer ones (mostly home decorating), and I don't see my sister for weeks at a time, and the last straw was we had a fire at work so the lounge room has been closed for almost a year! I was getting the dreaded pile of magazines next to the basket, which would get extremely tall before being culled. So now I cringe to admit, I am tossing some magazines after I read them.
And Jannie, while I"m here let me give you the tip about a discount magazine site. I've linked to it below and it's wonderful! The rate is $29.95 for 5 subscriptions. Yep, basically that is a year's worth for six bucks or fifty cents an issue. They have tons of titles and I've used them several times, no problems. It takes a bit of time for the subscriptions to activate but once they do, everything comes just as if you'd bought it full price at the supermarket. If you are buying them frequently off the rack you will probably save tons. Unless you like to be impetuous and treat yourself, in which case never mind :).
Here is a link that might be useful: Lots of Magazines
Just because something is cheap, doesn't mean you have to buy it! LOL Somehow we ended up with several magazine subscriptions this past year, and all have been cancelled.
Throw the magazines guilt-free in the paper recycling and be done with them. Or, if you belong to a gym, you can always leave them there. Ours has a magazine rack so you can read on the treadmill.

President Obama will appoint former cable and mobile carrier industry lobbyist Tom Wheeler to head the Federal Communications Commission, according to multiple press reports. The news comes as no surprise -- Wheeler was considered the leading candidate for the post by telecom policy observers, even before the current occupant of the post, Julius Genachowski, announced his resignation.
Wheeler, former head of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association and the mobile group CTIA, was an early backer of the presidential aspirations of then-Sen. Obama. During the transition, Wheeler led the administration's transition efforts to staff the technology, science, space and arts agencies. He currently advises the administration on policy as part of the Intelligence Advisory Board. Wheeler is a managing director with the venture capital group Core Capital partners.
A White House official told The Hill, "Tom Wheeler is an experienced leader in the communications technology field who shares the President's commitment to protecting consumers, promoting innovation, enhancing competition and encouraging investment."
As a former trade association head, Wheeler faces critics in the advocacy community. "The Federal Communications Commission needs a strong leader — someone who will use this powerful position to stand up to industry giants and protect the public interest. On paper, Tom Wheeler does not appear to be that person, having headed not one but two major trade associations. But he now has the opportunity to prove his critics wrong, clean up the mess left by his predecessor, and be the public servant we so badly need at the FCC," Free Press President and CEO Craig Aaron said in a statement.
Wheeler could also face a testy Senate confirmation. Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and 36 other Senate Democrats sent a letter to Obama in March urging the elevation of FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel – a former committee counsel -- to the chairmanship.
Note: Wheeler also co-founded and is currently chairman of the news service SmartBrief, where FCW staff writer Adam Mazmanian previously worked as an editor.

Harvesting Rose Hips
My white rugosas, which are in their third year this year, have set some absolutely lovely hips. I want to harvest them dry and use in teas this winter.
All of the online sources recommend harvesting the hips after a frost, but some of the hips on the bushes are ripe right now.
Does anyone know if I should go ahead and harvest the ripe ones now or leave them on the bush until fall? My condern is that if they are ripe now, they won't last until fall.
There is another round of flowers coming out now that will probably set a good amount of hips that will be just right when the frosts hit.
Any suggestiosn about the hips that are ripe now would be appreciated.
I couldn't get that link to work. Maybe this one will.
From some rugosa hip collecting I did three years ago, I found that taking them when they are red orange and air drying (hot sunlight, with air flow) worked well. Leaving them on the bushes just led to shriveled up problems with fungal additives.
I can get two to three harvests a year. Depending on how late fall persists, You should get two, at least.
(If you get lots of really fat hips with lots of meat, they make a good rose jam. )
The hips are the seed pods. You can harvest those pods when they ripen, cut them open and find rose seeds. If the rose is a hybrid, you'll get some unknown rose, it will probably not look like the parent rose that the hips came from. Only with species roses do you get new plants from seeds that are true to the variety.
Also, if you have heard of rose hip tea or rose hip jelly, these are the hips that they are talking about. Some roses produce better tasting hips than others.
A lot of modern hybrids don't set hips. They dry up before maturing.

that's 2 cents per click !
google adsense has lost any respect from me now
after 6 years, and i have a pretty solid website, approx 1000 people a day (400 uniques) , if that is what they are paying, they can get stuffed !
it's not as if i have a blog or churning scraped content, i make quality website templates, totally unique, and have done for years...
maybe this is the future, absolute minimal return, while google pulls in 99% of all traffic $$

Are you giving them away for free?
Sites with free stuff do the opposite of sell stuff, therefore your ad space isn't worth much except to others giving away similar free stuff simply because people looking for free stuff tend to not buy stuff.

This is why AdSense is such a mess. They should not allow anybody with 400 uniques to even qualify for Adsense account. These small websites are (usually) the abusers and all the legit webmasters have to pay the price for it. Please set some kind of reasonable requirements for new publishers.

That's a real misguided elitist attitude as volume has nothing to do with quality.
The best information on the web could be at the bottom of the barrel as far as traffic is concerned simply for the webmasters lack of SEO skills and nothing more.
There's a lot of big publishers pushing crap that shouldn't be allowed in AdSense either, you can't just judge quality by quantity of pages, traffic, etc. nor even popularity because often the declining literacy level of the masses can't tell when they're being fed garbage in exchange for AdSense.

the fact remains, i'm getting buried in #*$! sites above me, that only provide crap ! pretty much what incrediBILL explains

I have seen clicks pay anything from 2 cents to 2 dollars for many years. Its just chance that you happen to check a low traffic channel when three low paying ones come in together.

There are many factors that may cause an very low click rate. A site I recently managed would typically get clicks in the 60 to 80 cent range. Periodically I'd get the 1 to 5 cent clicks, sometimes they would come in pairs or more. I wondered why. I ended up analyzing the logs after an occurrence of these low paying clicks and found that the traffic came in from an Asian country. I suspect Google was able to classify the traffic as low potential conversion for the advertiser and priced it as such.

I can't imagine AdSense working really great here for either the publisher or the advertiser. Any sort of template affiliate program might bring in an occasional sale though. Maybe hosting, get some scripts and test it out.
That being said I do think AdSense is great for a lot of things.

Hey! We are small but have been at this for however long Adsense has been around. We do quite well, thank you. How much do you make? What makes you think smaller sites are not legitimate? Ever heard of quality over quantity?

Smaller publishers are kind of annoying from an advertiser standpoint. If one site sends 1,000 clicks at $1.00, you can check your conversion data and either go harder or blacklist the site so tomorrow that's $1,000 you won't waste. When 1,000 sites send 1 click each at $1.00, you might convert or you might not, but the data isn't worth anything.
But I'm not suggesting they ban low traffic sites. Maybe they should allow different bids for sites with different traffic.

low traffic sites
How much traffic does it take to be a "low traffic site".
Is that visitors or page views?
Is "low traffic" relative to all the sites in the web, or sites in the same niche?

That's essentially what smart pricing is. But it's not based on the AMOUNT of traffic, it's more likely based on the QUALITY of traffic. Which I, as a longtime heavy duty advertiser can tell you is of far far more importance to me than the amount.
There are TONS of reasons for low value clicks. Sometimes AdWords has inventory it has to place. Some times the user clicks on the last ad in a block of four (where the first ad is supposedly the highest paying one) Sometimes the number of available ads might dip at the very instant of the click, due to advertiser budget or day parting or competition or any other number of reasons.
But you really can't get a fix on how and why CPC values are so volatile unless you make a concerted effort to really understand how AdWords works. I don't mean just whip out a $100 free voucher and try a campaign, you have to really get into it. Like, go through the AdWords Learning Center, and read up on all the bidding options, and ad serving options, interest based advertising, and remarketing - everything from the ground up. If you are really and truly serious about making good money off of AdSense, this is what you need to do. Because these two programs are very tightly intertwined, and you'll never ever get a handle on one if you don't have a good understanding of both.

Well it's been a while since I did a content network campaign, but smart pricing never seemed to be remotely decent. I always used a script I wrote to query conversion ratios based on individual domains running ads and there were massive differences from site to site. All financial stuff though, so you had all the respectable sites with good converting traffic, then you had the jokers trying to create any site that will show insurance ads. Hopefully smart pricing is a little better now.

Wild Onions?
I recently moved to TN and basically don't know a thing about gardening, plants or flowers ~ but I have a question.
I planted pansies (house warming present from my Dad and Stepmother who have lived in the Knoxville area for about 18 years) and now I have what looks like either chives or garlic growing in my flower beds. Dad said they are probably wild onions and I should just pull them out. I guess my questions is:
Should I pull these up or leave them ~
(if I leave them can wild onions be eaten?)
Thanks in advance for any and all info!
Wild onions are evi nasty annoying weeds. ;-) You can pull them all you want. Unfortunately, they'll come back no mater what you do!
You can make more of a dent in their population by pulling immediately after a rain, when the soil is most. That way, you'll get more of the bulbs. I've never tried eating them, but I suspect they don't taste very good!
I don't pull them. I carefully dig about three inches around the one that has put up its leaf, then go down about 6 inches (sometimes you have to go further down!) and remove the whole trowel-full of dirt. If
You can eat the leaves. I haven't tried the bulbs (they're so small, why bother.)
I found one this spring growing on my hillside that I didn't cut down - it gave me a lovely lavender Allium-like flower sometime in June! Since then I have been transplanting all the "strays" to one special spot where I am going to let them live and bloom.
Well now that's an idea ~ I'll just dig them up, transplant them to another section of the flower bed and let them go. I like low maintenance plants!
You might also have grape hyacinths, Muscari botryoides. Leaves run from 2 to 10 inches long, and the bulbs are generally smaller than a dime. The have a funny smell that's not quite like onions, but not quite like garlic, either, and come spring they put up a small, indigo-blue flower that *I* like the smell of. (Mom HATES it, so let the buyer beware! *grin*)
OK ~ I'm not going to eat these things ~ I still like the idea of transplanting them to another section and letting them do what ever they want (even my boyfriend thinks it's a good idea and he thinks the trashcan is a good place for plants! Grump! ha ha). I noticed that I missed a lot of the little monster so I'll start moving them later today ~ I'm sure there will be more tomorrow and the next day and the next day........
Thanks for all the help! I think I've found the right website and forum for all my plant questions!! You people are the best!
You mentioned that your "wild onions" smelled like garlic. I'll bet you a dollar they are wild garlic. Wild garlic is actually way more common around here than wild onions. Break one of the shoots off and see if it's hollow. If it is, your plant is wild garlic. Wild onions have solid shoots.
Chives have an obvious "hole" when you look at the broken shoot. Wild onions have a flat, almost grass-like blade when they first come up, and no hole. They are coming up everywhere (and I mean everywhere) right now. So if you can't see a hole, it's probably not garlic.
I don't think I have ever seen a wild onion in a lawn around here. Maybe I have and just didn't investigate. But I have seen something like 10,000,000,000,000 wild garlic plants around here. My neighbor has more than I could ever count.
I have had pretty good luck removing them. I wait until the soil is moist (after a rain) and pull them or dig them up with a weeding tool. I always miss some, but after going over the area two or three times I can usually get just about all of them. It just takes patients and persistance unless you have a large area with a heavy infestation.
OK, so Brandon, the tiny things in the ground that I call "onions" are flat on one side and smaller than my pinky nail. The plant, if left to its devices, seems to get babies on the tip of the foliage at the top, like Egyptian onions. The corms (or bulbs) are VERY prolific and break apart from one another easily. Therefore I believe it is Allium canadense, a native wild onion. Here's what one website had to say about that plant (bold emphasis mine):
"The native wild onion (sometimes called Âwild garlicÂ, Allium canadense) can be distinguished from wild garlic [Allium vineale] by the fibrous-matted outer coating on the bulb, flattened solid leaves, star-shaped pink or whitish flowers and an onion-like taste. In addition, wild onion does not produce dormant hard-coated underground bulblets, and its stem leaves are attached to the lower 1/5 of the stem." I have to agree with this, I have never seen any "hard-coated" bulblets, and the stems on all mine are solid. This site claims that wild onion is toxic to people and livestock, which I dispute - other sites say only that it makes cow's milk taste of onion/garlic so it's not desirable to have growing in pastures.
What appeared to me to be exactly the same plant (though found in a different location than the one that got babies on top) gave me a 2-inch circumference, allium-like, lavender blossom in June - July. It appears that was Allium stellatum, which, although called "pink wild onion" can be lavender when given full sun:
I guess what I'm hoping is that those possible A. canadense are actually A. stellatum. I can't know until I grow them out, right? ;-)
P.S. - I grow garlic chives in a pot and am quite familiar with their flat blades, white flowers, and strangely shaped little seed capsules full of black seed. The stems are always bright green and forever growing, and you can't kill 'em with a stick, even if you don't water them for weeks and weeks. They may wilt, but they spring right back when watered.
I need some help, my yard in infested with these, we have more wild onions/wild garlic than grass. I dig them up out of the flower beds, but I might as well dig the entire yard up if I'm going to try on the yard. Is there anything that will kill these things? Thanks.
Trimec is not just for wild onions and garlic; it is labeled to control many types of lawn weeds. Be sure to keep it away from flowerbeds, gardens, shrubs, and trees!
Here is a link that might be useful: See page 3.
i have what looks like the long green onions u get at the store, growing in my yard.(only they have been allowed to grow,so they are much larger.)They are round and hollow, tube like.At the top they have white six petal tiny blossoms along with babies clustered-they will ACTually grow shoots that turn into other adult plants that in turn get flowers and babies,ect!Are these chives?garlic? Had been told they were wild onion,but after reading the posts am now not so sure.r chives actually garlic or onions?
To really know what you have, you need an expert or you need to use a plant key to narrow down what you have. Below is a link to a plant key for the Allium genus from eFloras.org
Two commonly confused lawn weeds are Allium canadense (wild onion) and Allium vineale (wild garlic). Allium canadense (wild onion) leaves are solid and have a more flat cross-section than Allium vineale (wild garlic), which has round, hollow leaves. Allium vineale (wild garlic) is the more common lawn weed in this part of the country.
Here is a link that might be useful: eFloras Allium Key
wild onions are amazing to eat.. al you need is a big skillet, some butter and whole pepper corns... cut the roots off and tie the onions into little loose knots to fit the skillet.. wash them really well, and throw them on till they are as brown an crispy as you like... i grow evertyhing form wild orchids to potatoes, and i have to say that i still find myself in the back yard after it rains harvesting the wild onions that are everywhere in my yard
These things are the scourge of my yard. They are the most pervasive weed I've ever enountered.
Its been very rainy the past few weeks and every time it rains you can find me outside grabbing the bottom 4 to 6 inches of the plant and pulling it straight up. This is the best way I know to deal with them its what my grandmother showed me and it always worked for her. It takes a while to make any headway but now after 3 weeks of actively trying to rid the yard of them the front yard is clear. The back yard however is just chock full of them.
Hopefully I can get most of them before they go to seed. I've always called them onions but it seems they may be garlic. I've never noticed extra bulbs but I know these have been here way longer than they should have been as some of the bulbs are quarter sized with round leaves that are solid and shoot straight up 36 to 40 inches sometimes, though most are 14 to 15 inches tall. We haven't mowed yet as we are trying to let the grass choke out the weeds.
I suspect ill have another year of doing this. Luckily the front wasn't half as bad as the back though my compost heap is especially oniony lol I've pulled hundreds of them already with just as many left to pull. I don't like the idea of using poison and with the amount of them it would certainly kill the clover which I love.

Granite Countertop With Gap between the wall
We got granite countertops installed in our kitchen few days ago and when I got home I noticed that one of the countertops started out aligned with the wall then it ends with a 1/2" gap at the end by the corner. Icalled our fabricator an I was told by the receprionist our walls could be uneven, that she would check with the guys that installed it and call me back. I haven't heard from them! I keep calling and there's no answer. My question is, if they came out and used a laser thing to get precise measurements couldnt this have been prevented?? I need to know what to say to them if they blame the wall for their crappy job.
Also, the edges are not smooth, and do not have a polished look to them, shouldn't edges be as smooth and look as polished as the top??
Okay, so previous poster is perhaps mostly correct (although, unfortunately, I've been finding more and more in our remodel journey that even the ones that are not the cheapest don't always live up to expectations)...but previous poster's answer doesn't really help you at this point.
Yes, what you have sounds pretty unacceptable. Even if they didn't shoot with a laser, it should have been possible to prevent that kind of gap. And yes, your edges should be pretty smooth and polished to match the top.
I hope that you wind up with a positive resolution. Have they been paid the balance or do you still owe them money? If they were paid and it was by check, you might want to stop payment before it gets cashed. If it is by CC, I would contact your CC company to let them know that you are having issues.
Something happened, they need to fix it.
I was worried because the granite I loved was at a shop that used luan templates instead of lasers. It hugs the wall perfectly. The three shops I was looking at were similar in cost, I did not have to pick someone really expensive and cross my fingers to get the job done right.
They don't get to blame the wall; it's as irrelevant as what they had for breakfast.
Measure the distance from the front of the cabinet to the edge of the stone in several places and get back to us. This could be interesting.
The edges should match the top; no excuses.
My point is they aren't returning phone calls and they have the money. There is zero that can be done if they don't care enough to do the job correctly in the first place and won't answer the phone now. The time to do due diligence was well before now.
You can put on a thick handmade tile backsplash to disguise the gap and coat the edge with agar to give it more shine, but that's about it. Or pay another fabricator to redo the job correctly.
" ... My point is they aren't returning phone calls and they have the money. There is zero that can be done if they don't care enough to do the job correctly in the first place and won't answer the phone now. The time to do due diligence was well before now."
While I do agree that the job should have been done correctly the first time, there is a possibility that the OP can still get resolution and maybe it's not time to throw in the towel just yet. A recent poster just went through some quality issues with a low-cost pre-fab company and they refunded her money, so resolution is not impossible. The OP posted on Saturday, so maybe the shop is closed for the weekend. And as adreak100 suggested, the OP's CC company or bank may be able to assist.
" ... Lowest price fabricator that you could find? Or double the price of that guy? If the first, you got what you paid for. The second, you wouldn't have even had to make the call because the problem wouldn't exist."
Maybe the OP was working in a very strict budget. It doesn't mean they shouldn't get a decent job where the gap can at least be covered by the backsplash of their choice. It's not really fair to say that everyone who doesn't pay the highest price deserves to get ripped off. Just MHO.
" ... They don't get to blame the wall; it's as irrelevant as what they had for breakfast."
Stone and quartz overhangs should be consistent within 1/8".
Small gaps that will be hidden by tile are fine. If it won't cover with the tile it's not fine.
Crooked walls are no excuse for excess gapping, that's why we make templates.
People that think companies have to have digital equipment and laser templates to get good results are misled.
I agree that this automatic reaction to blame the customer for someone elses's workmanship or ethics, and assuming they hired a low ball outlier or some "toothless illegals working out of their back yard", is not helpful, but it is very insulting. Further, what someone charges is not a gauge of quality. And, a lot of them try to shoot for the middle as a sales tactic -- "I'm not the cheapest ... somewhere in the middle". Used to hear that line a lot.
I was so relieved to have a fancy designer give me the name of their guy, who I confidently turned some jobs over to. Highest bidder and not cheap. He was a total joke. That was a good way to end up with a one man disaster.
OP, did you pay by CC? You could have some recourse there. Can you stop payment on a check?
Hopefully they have been out of the office. Have you left any messages? If so, give them a few days to respond. But do try to stop payment. Beyond that you have BBB, Angie's assistance, small claims court.

This doesn't help OP, but I would echo what kevdp4 states about laser templates. They aren't infallible.
When our countertops were templated, the owner/fabricator came out with his laser thing... and after about 10 minutes informed me that the base cabinets weren't level because they weren't lining up with his laser. I was surprised. He measured the bases with his tape measure, and they were even. Then he said, "Well, your floors must be uneven. Do you have a marble?" I retrieved a marble, and he placed it on various parts of the floor. It never moved. He was perplexed.
Then he re-measured using his laser. The second time, everything lined up. It was his laser that was initially off.
Fortunately, we had no problems with the install and have no gaps. But the whole experience left me wondering about those lasers...
We aren't installed yet, but our fabricator came out with luan strips and had just gotten a new laser...he mentioned that he had it but hadn't become comfortable with it yet - I told him that if he wanted to shoot with the laser as well as the luan, I was willing to have him at the house a bit longer. He was happy that I allowed him to "play" with the laser, but ultimately, even if there were discrepancies, we are going with his luan strips for our granite since he has been using that for years and is most comfortable with that.

"No more silence, no more violence!" students shouted as they marched across the Indiana State University campus during the "Take Back the Night" event.
The event focused on raising awareness of gender based domestic violence with the slogan, "No Excuse for Abuse."
Every year, students put together the Take Back the Night event on the ISU campus for their women's studies class.
"I know someone who was a victim of abuse," said Nia Jackson, sophomore biology major.
"I think everyone should be knowledgeable of the issue. It's a serious matter." She said.
Take Back the Night is an international event, which includes marches and rallies that have taken place all over the world since 1976. It advocates taking a stand against domestic abuse while marching fearlessly through the streets to reclaim the night.
"This event sheds a positive light on the university and it raises awareness for gender based violence," said Scott Harlan, a senior political science major.
ISU students gathered around the Dede Plaza to raise awareness. There were informational booths about domestic violence, sexual abuse and assault. The featured speakers were ISU President Dan Bradley, activist Josh Philips, and sexual assault therapist Hailee Lauritzer from Relief after Violent Encounters in Michigan.
Before the rally activist Josh Philips spoke to students.
"Sexual violence happens because culture allows it. We have created a predatory culture," Philips said during an inspirational speech in Cunningham Memorial Library.
After the rally, students marched across the ISU campus shouting chants such as, "We are women, we are men. Together we fight take back the night," and "Two, four, six, eight, stop the violence stop the hate!"
The night ended with a candlelight vigil at the Dede Plaza and students took a pledge to speak up against domestic violence and not act as silent bystanders.

Ok my goal is to reach around 100k DPS with my monk.
Also survival stats so I can't die easily. (vitality/resistance/life steal/life on hit/armor)
I currently do 66k DPS ( over 100k DPS with my skill build for short period of time)
I also want to run MP5 and do some key runs(never done key runs because im too weak)
Im short on money. I only have 4mill because i spend 6mill on some gears for my monk.
But i can get more money cause i have $5 bucks in AH.
Please check my info to see my current items.
Please help :D
I never reached 100k DPS so i really want to reach that far.

Your 1 handers should be switch to lower, cheaper socketed ones and put some emerald gems on it. For example, if you want to preserve the sickle +WKL combo, get a lower base damage one with socket on it, gonna cost you though. Get some rares with LS and Dex or LoH with socket with high base dps; it would help you in the long run.
Also, change your shoulders to better ones; I used Vile Ward. And for survivability, get blackthorne's and swap them with your inna's; while innas grant dps, blackthorne's give survivability. Get more VIT for your other equips as well.

If you want to do key runs at MP5, I would focus more on your survival than DPS. I was too lazy to add up, but it seems that resists are low, in addition to your HP being low. If you were less squishy, then you could join some groups and do key runs, people usually don't mind as much carrying lower DPS than constantly reviving. This approach would require changing your armor before your weapons.
In terms of weapons, as Krayola said, you should also think of more sustain. Your right around the DPS breakpoint for LS, and LS weapons cost more than LOH, but you don't have much IAS so LS may still be the better investment, especially as your DPS rises. I'd follow Krayola's suggestion and go for a socketed rare with LS but no natural crit and then see how dual LS works for you versus the loss of hidden DPS from the WKL. But compare prices as maybe LS is just too expensive relative to LOH. Also use a DPS calculator so you know what any AH weapon would do for you. There are several on the web, or you can download Vrkhrz, which I think is better to use as you can store all the things you contemplating buying for continuous D3 daydreaming

your dps is already high enough for MP7. 50k dps with WKL should faceroll MP5. you are just lacking in resistance and sustain. here are my inputs:
1) get a dex litany of undaunted ring to replace your right ring. this will give you a much needed 60+ resist boost. 300k-500k
2) change inna's radiance with 40+ fire and similar dex/vit to yours. 300k-1M
3) change your WKL weapon to a 700+ LOH version instead of the crit dmg. The one i'm wearing (ls + loh) cost me 600k and I can do MP7 all day with it. spend 1M max
Above will give you 100+ resist, 700+ LOH. Good luck!
thanks everyone for the information as i am a noob to diablo 3 even though ive played all characters to lvl 60( # paragon lvl LOL).
ill try everyones advice out and give some write back on how im doing after buying the necessary equips for survival.

I'm in the same boat you are, actually just posted something along these lines a day or two ago, but it looks to me like you're leaving quite a bit of damage on the table by just not upgrading your gems?
you can easily add another 100 DEX & 6% life by just taking your gems to Radiant Stars... No plan drop needed for those and they are relatively cheep to do.

It's all about the kernel. The leaked AT&T ICS ROM's kernels work, which is a bit strange, but the GB kernel and most of the custom kernels do not, except for CM7 kernels, I guess... AOKP comes with the CM9 kernel and it does not work.
The problem is the ICS sources for the i777 are not available yet. Once they are, CM9 will hack or replace the bluetooth stack and we will have our glorious BT gamepads working again.

Syria's government, insurgents face each other for first time
In painstakingly choreographed peace talks, Syria's government and opposition sat at the same table for nearly three hours — but didn't address each other directly.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
GENEVA—In painstakingly choreographed encounters, Syria's government and opposition faced each other for the first time Saturday, buffered by a UN mediator hoping to guide them to a resolution of the country's devastating civil war.
The antagonists sat at the same table for nearly three hours but didn't address each other directly — and by design they avoided the contentious issue of who will lead the country. They entered through separate doors and, outside the walls of the United Nations, had little but criticism for each other.
No tangible progress was reported, but the mere fact the meeting was held represented what the mediator called a "half-step" toward peace. Unresolved was the fate of Homs, a city at the core of the uprising against President Bashar Assad that has been under siege for 20 months.
The mediator, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the peace conference would continue Sunday, focusing on humanitarian aid: the one topic the Syrian government and the opposition could agree to discuss. Brahimi said if parallel negotiations succeeded within Syria, Homs could see an aid delivery by Monday.
"We haven't achieved much, but we are continuing," Brahimi said after about three hours spent seated midway between the two sides. "The situation is very difficult and very, very complicated, and we are moving not in steps, but half-steps."
Sitting face to face at a U-shaped table and separated by Brahimi, Assad's delegation and the Syrian National Coalition avoided directly touching on the war dividing them — or discussing Assad himself. They spoke only to Brahimi, and not to each other.
"One is on the left and one on right and they face one another and they talk to each other — through me, to one another," he said. "This is what happens in civilized discussions ... I think it's a good beginning."
He said the government's continuing practice of dropping bombs filled with crude explosives on civilian areas "hasn't come under discussion."
The peace conference intended to forge a path out of the civil war that has killed 130,000 people has been on the verge of collapse since it was first conceived 18 months ago. On Saturday, the talks avoided the main issue of Assad's future, with both sides appearing to soften their approach after days of escalating rhetoric.

Full-system testing for large-scale systems is often infeasible or very costly. Thus, when estimating system reliability, it is desirable to use a method that uses subsystem tests, which are often less expensive and more feasible. This article presents a method for bounding full-system reliabilities based on subsystem tests and, if available, full-system tests. The method does not require that subsystems be independent. It accounts for dependencies through the use of certain probability inequalities. The inequalities provide the basis for valid reliability calculations while not requiring independent subsystems or full-system tests. The inequalities allow for test information on pairwise subsystem failure modes to be incorporated, thereby improving the bound on system reliability. We illustrate some of the properties of the estimates via an example application. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2013

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Four Chucks were named to the District IX Northern Allegany Baseball Large School All-Star team, including two Punxsy players who nearly broke school records with the Chucks.
Seniors Brodi Lowmaster (outfield), Jordan Mesoraco (catcher), Tyler Skerkavich (designated hitter) and sophomore Ty Zimmerman (second baseman) were each honored as district All-Stars after they led the Chucks to their eighth consecutive District IX Class AAA Championship and berth in the state quarterfinals.
Ruth M. (McAninch) Hartzfeld, 70, DuBois, died Monday, June 13, 2011, at the DuBois Nursing Home after a lengthy illness.
She was born May 21, 1941, in Punxsutawney, a daughter of the late Glenn W. and Ruth Elizabeth (Walls) McAninch.
In 1967, she married J. Allen Hartzfeld, who preceded her in death in 2003.
Mrs. Hartzfeld was a graduate of Sykesville-Henderson High School. She was born and raised in the R.D. 3 Punxsutawney area and came to DuBois in 1962.
She worked as a sales clerk in local retail stores and enjoyed crocheting, sewing and crafts.
Ruth Ann (Amos) Holben, 72, Indiana, died Friday, June 10, 2011, at her home.
She was born July 3, 1938, in Pittsburgh, a daughter of the late Edwin C. and Elizabeth Amos.
She was married to Edward H. Holben, who survives.
Mrs. Holben was a graduate of the Indiana State Teachers College, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees. She then taught business education for 25 years.
She was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church, Indiana.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Punxsutawney Borough Council announced news that everyone has been waiting to hear for the last six years: That the Area Transportation Authority (ATA) terminal in Punxsutawney is ready to move ahead with construction within the next few weeks.
Monday, council President Susan Glessner said it has been six years since the project first began, which involved the demolition of a group of buildings along North Findley Street.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A Punxsutawney school board member and administrator recently learned that while public education business and issues may be challenges, that's also the case for those who work, raise families and serve their countries in the National Guard or Reserve.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Every year prior to the start of summer, a huge amphitheater canopy is set up by members of the Lions Club, the Groundhog Festival Committee, REACT and the community in preparation for the summer's festivities.
"We all owe a huge part of the help to the Lions Club," Groundhog Festival Committee Chairman Roger Steele said. "They provide us the manpower to get this thing up. We also consult Punxsy Phil for the best day for weather."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — With more than 3,500 votes counted for The Punxsutawney Spirit's first-ever 2010-2011 Fall and Winter Sports Male and Female Most Valuable Players, the public will now have an opportunity to choose the initial 2011 Spring Sports Male and Female Most Valuable Players.
Two athletes have been chosen from each of Punxsy's five spring sports: Baseball, boys' tennis, boys' track and field, girls' track and field and softball.
Readers will have a chance to decide one boy among six and one girl among four to create one winner for each gender.
1. Although both the Punxsy baseball and softball teams fell a few wins short of a state title, the success of the teams they lost to year after year is astounding. The Lady Chucks lost to Valley, which just reached the state final Monday after Caitlyn Neeler threw a no-hitter during a 1-0 victory over Bellefonte in the semifinals. Neeler held Punxsy to just two hits — both by senior Kristen Fedder — during a 1-0 win. The Chucks lost 6-1 to Northern York last week, and the Polar Bears are in the final, too, after they upset undefeated WPIAL Champion Elizabeth Forward, 6-4.
Charles E. Knopick, 74, Bridgeport, Conn., died Sunday, June 12, 2011, at Presbyterian Columbian Hospital, New York, N.Y.
He was born Oct. 12, 1936, in Iselin, to Michael and Mary (Poycock) Knopick.
Mr. Knopick was a veteran of the U.S. Army, an avid golfer and a gourmet cook. He also volunteered at the Thomas Merton Center for Homeless Men.
Mr. Knopick was a claims adjuster with Allstate insurance.
Surviving relatives include two sisters, Frances Albecht and husband Paul and Geraldine Poydence; a brother, Robert Knopick and wife Dorothy; and numerous nieces and nephews.
B. Joyce Dunmire, 81, Punxsutawney, died Monday, June 13, 2011, at her home in Juneau.
She was born Sept. 9, 1929, in Rossiter, a daughter of the late Eli Blackman and Mary Elizabeth (Tyler) English.
April 10, 1948, she married William Dunmire, who survives.
Mrs. Dunmire was a member of the Chestnut Grove Independent Church and was a member of various vocal groups, including Harmony Four, Joy Bells, the Harmony Trio and Ladies' Ensembles. She sang in choirs and performed countless solo work at weddings, funerals and churches.

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
Park News - (2/9/15) According to the local news, Ghost Town in the Sky's owner, Alaska Presley, says while parts of the theme park property was put up for sale earlier, she claims the land is no longer for sale. Instead she is ready to move ahead with a vision to build the tallest cross in the western hemisphere on top of her "Resurrection Mountain" plans. According to the article, "Presley wants to take part of the old steel roller coaster" to do it as well. I dunno... is it right to re-use any part of a roller coaster that was originally named the "Red Devil" to form a giant Christian cross? I'm not a religious expert, but the idea seems a little sketchy to me, despite the fact that the previous owner tried to rename and reopen the Red Devil as Cliff Hanger, but they never could get it fully running as the Cliff Hanger from what I recall. (1/20/15) It looks like we may never get to see just what the planned Holy Land / Resurrection Mountain plans would be at Ghost Town in the Sky. According to Screamscape sources the park has been quietly put up for sale now, with the asking price set at a cool $3 million. So the question is... is there a new potential owner out there with $3 million in their pocket with the vision and experience to turn Ghost Town in the Sky back into a serious attraction? (7/11/14) Ghost Town in the Sky has reopened, and Alaksa Presley (90 years old) has promised new attractions are on the way. They say that 70% of the park is now open once again, however it still seems that most of the rides are still sitting idle, with no plans to repair them. However this article mentions that they have plans on removing and replacing the Cliffhanger roller coaster and Geronimo Drop. The plans for the Holy Land section of the park are now looking to try and open it as early as 2015.
???? - Holy Land / Resurrection Mountain - Status Unknown - (3/10/14) While most of this is still technically a "rumor", one of our Screamscape sources spoke in detail with some Maggie Valley locals about what the future of Ghost Town in the Sky is expected to be. According to what they were told, the park is no longer planning to even attempt to repair or reopen any of the former classic flat rides at the park like the Paratrooper or Scrambler. Even worse, they were told that the plan was to rip down the old Red Devil / Cliff Hanger coaster later this Spring for scrap, as they no longer intend to try and reopen it. Forgive the bad pun, but instead of fixing up and restoring Ghost Mountain the Sky to the park it once was, the park owner seems hell bent on only pushing ahead with the plan to open the Resurrection Mountain for 2014. According to the website, Ghost Town in the Sky plans on reopening for the season on April 25th, 2014 and will run through to the end of October 2014. After reading the many disappointed trip reports I was sent throughout the 2013 season, most were hoping the park would be restored more like it's old self by 2014 after the rough events of last year. Unfortunately, it looks like the park is moving into a new direction instead and into uncharted and possibly dangerous waters that might put the long-term survival of the park at risk. Time will tell… (3/9/12) While I had hope to see Ghost Town in the Sky revived once again… I'm now a little concerned. In this article, a few details of what the new owner has planned are a quite a bit of a departure from the Ghost Town theme. Presley is planning on gutting the top level of the theme park, removing the Native American village, and moving all the kiddie rides up there to the lower level. She dreams of replacing it all with a "large gold and white concert hall where people can hold religious events or performances" and even eventually crown the top of the mountain with a giant status of Jesus with a similar look to the famous one in Rio. Ummmm…. Call me a skeptic, but if he dream is to transform the wild west theme of Ghost Town in the Sky into another Holy Land Experience or a mountain-top version of Heritage USA, I think I'll pass. Though this will give them a great opportunity to rename the old Red Devil roller coaster once again. Instead of Cliff Hanger, may I suggest Holy Roller?
