DEFINITION of 'Income Participating Security - IPS'
A security that comprises a common share and a high-yield bond packaged together to distribute an issuer's cash flow to investors in a tax-efficient manner. An income participating security generally trades on an exchange, and its two components can be separated later and traded individually. The cash flow to investors consists of dividends from the common share component and interest payments from the bond component.
Also referred to as an "income deposit security" or an "enhanced income security".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Income Participating Security - IPS'
Income participating securities were designed to distribute high levels of cash flow to American and Canadian investors in U.S. companies, similar to the former Canadian income trusts. However, while IPSs and Canadian income trusts had similar objectives as far as these investors were concerned, IPSs have a legal structure that differs from that of income trusts. Potential issuers of IPSs are those with stable cash flows, limited capital expenditures and low growth prospects in mature industries.

What is in UMarmot?
UMarmot is an online interactive catablog containing information on all manuscript and archival collections held by the Department of Special Collections and University Archives, UMass Amherst Libraries.
What does a UMarmot record contain?
Each UMarmot record contains a brief description of each collection, including the collection name, size, and date range, a brief description of its contents, selected subject terms, and links (when available) to detailed finding aids and other online resources. Each record is also indexed under one or more general subject categories, which may be selected using the drop-down menu on the right side of the page.
Searches in UMarmot cover the complete contents of all records, including the detailed finding aids when available. Finding aids are cross-posted on the Five Colleges Consortium finding aids website.
We welcome comments on collections or the website and thank you for bearing with us while we burrow into the future.
What collections are included in UMarmot?
- Manuscript collections: personal papers, organizational records, and documents
- Papers of faculty, staff, and administrators from UMass Amherst
- University Archives from UMass Amherst
- Photographic collections, some containing thumbnails of the images
- Book collections: overviews at the collection level only. Individual titles are cataloged in the UMass Amherst Libraries' online catalog.
- Digital collections, including those that are part of manuscript, archival, photographic, or book collections
What is not included in UMarmot?
- Maps (see our online map catalog)
- Individual books and periodicals (see the Du Bois Libraries' online catalog).
- Individual photographic images (see our online Image galleries and University images search box)
- Archival Collections from UMass Amherst administrative units
What lies behind the UMarmot catablog?
UMarmot originated early in 2007 as an experiment responding to two perceived needs: first, to find a low cost means of maximizing the public availability of our collections; and second, to find a solution that could be shared with colleagues in less technologically-intensive institutions. After completing a comprehensive survey of our holdings and generating standards-compliant, minimal descriptions of each collection, we recognized that the indexing capacity, web-readiness, and familiarity of blogging software made it a good fit for an online catalog — hence "catablog."
After surveying our options, we selected WordPress blogging software for its superior combination of power, ease of development and maintenance, and flexibility in design. In keeping with our goal of keeping the catablog model accessible to all of our peers, we have limited subsequent development of UMarmot to inexpensive, easily implemented, open source alternatives.

Truman Wheeler, Jr., Account Book, 1813-1833.
Call no.: MS 036 bd
Truman Wheeler, Jr., of Great Barrington, Mass., is considerably more obscure than his father, a prominent merchant, but in the two decades after the War of 1812, he made his living raising and selling rye, oats, and corn, tending sheep, and operating a substantial cider mill.
Wheeler Jr.'s account book records an array of fairly typical transactions in a non-cash economy, in which goods (grain, cider, barrels, food) or services (rental of the cider mill, lodging, labor) of one sort were exchanged for another. The frequency and scale of his cidering operation, and his rental of his cider mill when not used, is a distinguishing feature of his account book, which includes accounts with members of the Burghardt, Ives, Tucker, Warner, Wheeler, Willcox, and other families, as well as with Jack Negro, to whom Wheeler sold grain, pork, and brandy in exchange for assistance in haying.

Whisler, Howard C. (Howard Clinton)
Howard C. Whisler Papers, 1963-2007.
Call no.: MS 716
As an undergraduate at the University of California Berkeley, Howard Whisler was introduced to the study of zoosporic fungi, beginning what would become a lifelong interest in evolutionary protistology. During his graduate work at Berkeley, Whisler focused on fungi associated with invertebrates, receiving his doctorate in 1960 for a study of the entomogenous fungus Amoebidium parasiticum. He joined the faculty at the University of Washington in 1963, where he remained until his retirement in 1999. A prolific researcher, and developer of the fungal research program at the Friday Harbor Marine Biological Laboratory, he became noted for his work on zoosporic fungi and protists, particularly of parasites or commensals in arthropods, with publications ranging from studies of reproduction in the Monoblepharidales to the molecular systematics of Saprolegnia in salmon, and the sexual stages and life cycle of Coelomomyces, a fungal pathogen of mosquitos. An active member of the Mycological Society of America, Whisler was also a founder of the International Society of Evolutionary Protistology with Max Taylor and Lynn Margulis. Whisler died on Sept. 16, 2007, at the age of 76.
The Whisler Papers contain correspondence, notebooks, scanning electron micrographs, and motion pictures dating primarily from the mid- to late 1970s.

Worthington (Mass.) Tavern
Worthington (Mass.) Tavern Account Book, 1826-1854.
Call no.: MS 421 bd
By the turn of the nineteenth century, the Hampshire County town of Worthington, Massachusetts, was a significant crossroads on the Boston-Albany Turnpike, belying its small size. The population in Worthington peaked at barely over 1,000 in 1810, and declined slowly thereafter, although it remained an active stopover on the road for many years.
This standard double column account book provides a concentrated record of financial and other transactions in the antebellum period, probably associated with a tavern in Worthington, Mass. Although the ledger's keeper is unidentified, it records an assortment of odd jobs filing saws, smoking meat, lending horses, carting, pasturing cattle, and tending sheep, along with the sale of significant quantities of beer and cider and a regular stream of hard brandy and rum. There are records as well of providing meals and, in one instance, caring for prisoners and their keepers overnight (p. 21). Most of the clients who can be positively identified were residents of Worthington (e.g., Persis Knapp, Chauncy B. Rising, Nathan Searl, Shubal Parish, Elisha H. Brewster, Addison D. Perry, Merritt Hall, and Otis Boies), however others are noted as wayfarers, passing through from towns such as Whately or Hadley. Clients settled their accounts with a motley mixture of cash, goods, and labor.

Thursday's match will be a Pink Out to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention, in addition to a Cans Around the Oval distribution spot.
Oct. 8, 2013
After moving up four spots in the AVCA Coaches Division I Top 25 Poll on Monday, the 13th-ranked Colorado State volleyball team returns to Moby Arena for two key conference matchups this week against Utah State and Boise State. In addition to the action on the court, several events and promotions will take place, and fans are encouraged to get involved:
Dig Pink for breast cancer awareness
Thursday's match vs. Mountain West newcomer Utah State will be 'Dig Pink' night, as players raise awareness for breast cancer prevention by wearing pink jerseys and accessories. Several players have had family affected by breast cancer, including junior Kelsey Snider, whose mom is a survivor. Fans are encouraged to join the players in wearing pink to raise awareness and encourage persons to be proactive and get checked.
Cans Around the Oval
Also on Thursday, fans are asked to bring non-perishable canned food items to support Cans Around the Oval. Distribution bins will be located on the north concourse, and those who donate will receive a voucher for half-price admission to Saturday's match.
Cans Around the Oval is a long-standing annual tradition in which CSU students, faculty and staff partner with community members, local media and area businesses to raise awareness about the facts surrounding the issue of hunger, as well as raise food and monetary donations. This event is Larimer County's largest single-day food drive. Last year, it collected more than 52,000 pounds of food and $63,700 in donations.
The event, which began in 1987, will take place on Oct. 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but donations are already being collected. On collection day, the canned food is weighed and arranged to line the Oval, providing a visual representation of the invaluable generosity of the communities involved. For more information about Cans Around the Oval, click here.
Homecoming & Family Weekend Saturday
Saturday's match vs. Boise State has been moved back a half-hour to 7:30 p.m. to accommodate staff transitions from football's game vs. San José State (1:30 p.m. at Sonny Lubick Field and Hughes Stadium). Both contests will be part of the University's Homecoming & Family Week festivities. Throughout the match, memorable moments from CSU volleyball's storied history will be shown on the video board.
Rams Care: Day of Service
Initiated by senior volleyball player Michelle Smith, a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), CSU's nearly 400 student-athletes will come together to fight homelessness in Northern Colorado this fall through "Rams Care: Day of Service." Volunteers will be on hand at Saturday's volleyball match to collect cash donations. Donations will also be collected at a football, men's basketball and women's basketball game later this fall.
After donations are collected, all student-athletes will come together on a specific day to assemble holiday gift baskets to be distributed through a local non-profit charity organization to homeless families. More information regarding the "Rams Care: Day of Service" can be found here.
Tickets for both matches can be purchased online, over the phone at 1-800-491-RAMS or at the McGraw Athletic Center ticket office. Students get in free with a student ID.
The Rams, ranked No. 13 nationally and one of three undefeated teams in the country (13-0, 4-0 MW), look to remain undefeated and extend their home winning streak, which currently sits at 14 matches, tied for the sixth-longest in program history. CSU ranks eighth nationally in attendance this season, averaging 2,927 fans per match.

A method for controlling or stopping the flow of blood is provided for use in preparing the gingival or gum area of the mouth for dental crowns. An aqueous solution of ferric sulfate (Fe2 (SO4)3), having a concentration of preferably about 13% in water and glycol. The solution is applied to the gingival area and rapidly coagulates fresh blood to act as an effective astringent without adverse side effects or staining of teeth.
1. A method for halting bleeding in gingival tissue preparatory to the taking of dental impressions, comprising the steps of:
providing an applicator device capable of applying a hemostatic solution of aqueous ferric sulfate (Fe2 (SO4)3) having a concentration in the range of about 6 percent to about 20 percent under pressure to an area of bleeding gingival tissue, said applicator device having a padded porous tip through which hemostatic solution may be applied;
inserting the tip of the applicator into a bleeding wound site;
placing the tip of the applicator device against bleeding tissue;
dispensing the hemostatic agent from the tip of the applicator device under pressure onto bleeding tissue; and
burnishing the bleeding tissue while simultaneously dispensing the hemostatic agent under pressure so as to halt bleeding of such tissue.
2. A method for halting bleeding in gingival tissue preparatory to the taking dental impressions as defined in claim 1, wherein the aqueous ferric sulfate solution has a ferric sulfate concentration of about 13 percent.
3. A method for halting bleeding in gingival tissue preparatory to the taking dental impressions, comprising the steps of:
providing an applicator device capable of controlled dispensing of an aqueous ferric sulfate (Fe2 (SO4)3) solution having a concentration in the range of about 6 percent to about 20 percent through a padded tip of the applicator to an area of bleeding gingival tissue;
placing the tip of the applicator device against the bleeding gingival tissue;
dispensing the ferric sulfate solution into the bleeding tissue; and
burnishing the bleeding gingival tissue with the tip of the applicator device while dispensing the ferric sulfate solution so as to halt bleeding of such tissue.
4. A method for halting bleeding in gingival tissue preparatory to the taking dental impressions as defined in claim 3, wherein the aqueous ferric sulfate solution has a ferric sulfate concentration of about 13 percent.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/386,103, filed June 7, 1982, now abandoned.
One of the primary concerns in dentistry is the controlling of oral bleeding during dental operative procedures, such as oral surgery, taking impressions of teeth for reconstruction, and the like. For example, in the field of dental reconstruction or preparation of dental crowns, it is common for dentists to cut gingival or gum tissue in order to fully expose the tooth prior to taking an impression of the tooth. It is imperative that the area surrounding the tooth be clean and dry for an accurate impression to be made. To this end, various hemostatic agents have been commonly used to stop bleeding.
One of the most common hemostatic agents in use today in the dental field is an aqueous solution of aluminum chloride, marketed under a variety of tradenames by several manufacturers. Another product in use today as a hemostatic agent is a vasoconstrictor known as epinephrine. However, epinephrine can produce serious cardiovascular effects such as a speeding heart rate, and its use has been questioned in such publications as Accepted Dental Therapuetics, 37th Edition, as an acceptable hemostat. Aqueous solutions of aluminum chloride are not as effective as could be desired and produce a very undesirable taste in the patient's mouth.
Consequently, there has been a need for a more effective method of preparing gingival areas and for a hemostatic agent having rapid coagulant and astringent characteristics. While iron salts in general have been recognized as having certain astringent characteristics, they have heretofore been characterized as ineffective as coagulants and been found objectionable due to the yellow staining of teeth and the high acidity of the salt solution causing potential corrosion to tooth enamel. See for example, Accepted Dental Therapeutics, 37th Edition, Page 220.
It is an objective of this invention to provide a method for preparing gingival areas of the mouth for dental reconstruction by using a ferric sulfate solution which acts as a coagulant and astringent without damaging side effects, such as staining of tooth enamel and corrosion of teeth.
The objective of this invention is achieved by preparing an aqueous solution of ferric sulfate (Fe2 (SO4)3) for use in the gingival area as a hemostatic agent having both coagulant and astringent properties. The solution is prepared with preferably about 13% concentration of ferric sulfate in water and glycol.
In a preferred embodiment, the preparation of the preferred hemostatic solution for use in the method is to provide a concentration of ferric sulfate of approximately 13%. It has been found that 13% is the optimum concentration, because lesser concentrations evidence a progressively diminished amount of hemostatic activity, until at about 6% the activity becomes ineffective. At the other end, it has been found that concentrations above about 20% show slower increase in hemostatic activity. Solutions above about 40% ferric sulfate exhibit only a slight increase in activity.
It is important not to confuse this solution with a well-known material called Monsel's Solution which is a ferric subsulfate suspension. Ferric subsulfate has a different chemical composition. Monsel's is actually a suspension rather than a solution. It has a percent acidity of 72% compared to 10.1% acidity for the 13.3% ferric sulfate solution of the present invention.
The aqueous solution of the invention has been found in clinical testing to be very effective in controlling external bleeding. It has also been shown to be tolerated better than the prior art hemostats by patients and to avoid the unbearable taste of the aluminum chloride.
In vitro tests were conducted using fresh blood on glass slides. A ferric sulfate solution was prepared in accordance with the invention using distilled water, and the solution was sterilized by heating the solution under 20 lbs. pressure for 30 minutes in a steam autoclave. A commercially available solution of aluminum chloride (25% concentration) was used as the standard to determine rate of coagulation. In each test four drops of fresh blood were applied to a glass slide followed by two drops of the sterilized ferric sulfate solution. The blood and solution were immediately mixed with a glass stirring rod and rated as to both rapidity and completion of coagulation. In each test, the ferric sulfate solution coagulated the blood more rapidly and more completely than did the aluminum chloride.
The solution is designed to aid in the control of bleeding and can be applied in a number of ways.
It may be applied to the gingival area of the mouth with an applicator, such as the Dento-Infuser which slowly applies the solution with or without pressure to a small area of bleeding to control bleeding. If used with this device, the solution is simply loaded into the syringe, or prefilled carpules are employed. The tip of the applicator is then inserted into the bleeding wound site, be it a cut, gingival sulcus, pulp chambers, (as in pulpotomies on primary teeth) or the like. By "burnishing" or rubbing the end of the applicator at the same time the solution is deposited the bleeding can readily be controlled. It is wise not to use more solution than needed, therefore, this device lends itself well to the application.
When preparing to take an impression of a tooth to fabricate a crown restoration, the crevice (sulcus) between the tooth and gum is packed with a filament cord. This distends the tissue slightly from the tooth so that the impression material may enter, and controls any bleeding so that an accurate impression may be obtained. If the cord is first soaked in the ferric sulfate solution, the hemostats and retraction is greatly enhanced. This may be accomplished at the time the tooth is prepared or retraction cord may be pre-soaked with solution and dried to produce a "hemostatic cord" ready for immediate use.
Like many other medicaments, the solution can be applied with small cotton pledgets. The cotton pledgets are simply soaked in the solution to moisten them. They are then placed to whatever location is desired to control bleeding whether bleeding gingiva (gums), bleeding pulp chambers, or any other wound area whether in dentistry or medicine.
Tests were undertaken on extracted teeth to determine whether the acidity and yellow-staining properties of the solution would have any effect on its use as a hemostatis agent.
Both the ferric sulfate solution and the aluminum chloride solution are acidic, having approximately equivalent pH. Since they are acidic, they have the potential of decalcifying enamel. The length of time of exposure to the enamel would be a limiting factor. At the present time, dentists will many times purposely etch enamel by decalcifying the surface with a fairly strong acid, one strong enough to procuce a chalky appearance to the enamel within 30-60 seconds. This is done to promote the bonding of new adhesive type restorations to the enamel. The etching doesn't penetrate to any harmful depth, however, as enamel luster can be regained by simply polishing the surface. For these tests, samples of clean extracted teeth were immersed in water, aluminum chloride and the ferric sulfate solution of the invention for a period of one hour. Upon removing and drying, the aluminum choride and ferric sulfate samples appeared chalky on the surface, much as a tooth etched for applying an adhesive type restoration. Upon polishing the samples with pumice and a rubber cup in the same fashion as a patient's teeth are polished, the chalkiness disappeared, and the teeth once again appeared as the control samples which were placed in water.
Ferric sulfates appear yellow in solution and will temporarily yellow or stain soft tissue until it is cleaned off. It would be imperative, however, that no permanent staining occur with the use of the ferric sulfate solution against enamel. Using the same samples as mentioned above, another test was run to determine any change of color. A chromoscan produced by APM Sterngold was used to measure the amount of the three basic colors (e.g. red, green, and blue) of the samples prior to any treatment. The samples were immersed for one hour in their respective solutions, ferric sulfate, aluminum chloride, and water, after which new chromoscan readings were taken. The chromoscan gave a digital three unit readout for all three colors. This test would indicate not only the cosmetic importance of maintaining original tooth color, but it would also indicate any corrosive change or permanent decalcification.
There was little change on any of the three samples. Aluminum chloride had a change of 0.6 units on the chromoscan readout from water (the control group) and the ferric sulfate solution had a change of 0.1. The chromoscan requies a change of 8 to 15 units before any significant visual change is observable. Neither agent can be said to have any significant visual effect on tooth color.
Clinical tests over a six year period have shown that the method of the invention using the hemostatic agent is effective in producing minimal tissue irritation and less sloughage and destruction of tissue than with aluminum chloride solutions and epinephrine-type agents.
While this invention has been described in a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that there are substantial equivalents which fall with the scope of the appended claims.

My feelings on weeds
As kimmsr has said many, many, many times - weeds are only plants in places that we don't want them.
Yes, "weeds" do many things that humans view as negative, but are they?
All plants have a place in the environment or they wouldn't be there in the first place. However, we humans define weeds as those plants that interfere with: the production of food crops for us, that interfere with the development of monocultures of our precious turf, that are "invasive" in that they come from other enviroments and displace existing species.
But, you know what, species compete with each other and dominate or recede. If humanity has blended and created this mess, humanity will have to deal with what it has, in its vision of perfection blindly screwed up.
Sound fatalistic? Nah. Ma nature will ameliorate all in time.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. It is out of control, so it's up to Ma.
Many of the plants we call "weeds" are what others call wild flowers. For some people Queens Annes Lace is a "weed" that must be erradicated and yet it is a food source for many beneficial insects. Many people view Dandelions as something that must be erradicated at all costs, yet it is an early spring food source for our pollinators.
Every plant, even those we like to dislike, serves a purpose.

ASUS Radeon EAH3850 TOP Graphics Card - The PackageTHE HD 3850 is sitting in the shadows a bit. We look to see if it's deserving of more credit with an O/C'ed ASUS model.
The Package
As we have come to expect from ASUS we have another big box which gives us all the standard information that we have become so accustomed to seeing.
The box follows the Company of Heroes theme that we have seen on some of their higher end models lately. Across the bottom we can see the model along with the TOP logo displayed.
We can also see the Vista logo along with the ASUS GamerOSD and a mention of 256MB GDDR3 memory. Also shown is the fact that PCI Express 2.0 is supported.
Turning the box over there are some more details on the card along with the system requirements. The main portion of the box is taken up with information on the exclusive features that an ASUS card offers.
Diving deeper into the package, in the CD department we have the VGA driver disc which also has a number of ASUS exclusive applications. We also have a multi-language manual on another CD along with a full version copy of Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts.
We also have a nice little CD wallet inside the package which is pretty common with higher end ASUS cards.
Paperwork wise there isn't a lot here, only a simple Speed Setup guide which you mostly likely won't need to refer to.
The cable department is also quite normal; along with the standard Molex to PCI Express connector, Component-out cable and DVI to VGA connector we also have the Crossfire connector which you will need if you want to run two cards. Also included is a DVI to HDMI connector if you want to make use of a digital connection to your TV.
The whole package isn't too bad at all, especially considering that the 3850 is more so higher mid-range rather than being purely high-end.

Tales of Mayesta, Chapter 1Tales of Mayesta, Chapter 1 by Zubaja
It was a dark and dreary morning. Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder could be heard in the distance. Outside, everyone was preparing for the coming storm, seeking shelter and bringing cattle into barns; barring doors and windows shut and hiding inside. Storms were the worst.
"Thom, go help your father, please.",
"Yes mother.",
"Don't forget your cap and goggles, in case it begins to rain before you're done."
Thom simply nodded to his mother as she handed him his gear. When the rain fell, the Dimble Forest would spread spores that could turn any living thing insane. He wonder what the forest'd looked like before the Undead Purge ran amock, long before he was born.
Thom got a kiss on his cheeck from his mother, turning him red as a beet. He quickly scurried outside to help his father, who was struggling to get their mule inside the barn. Thom found it funny how the saying 'As stubborn as a mule' was so fit for the situation.
"Let me help you, Da.", Thom happily said as he walked to
Tales of Mayesta: PrologueOur planet is known for its constant strife; its never-ending wars, conflicts, and the likes. Never inTales of Mayesta: Prologue by Zubaja
history has there been recorded a true moment of peace, and all hope of one ever arriving grow slimmer with each passing moment. War is never far away.
Many races have gone extinct, such as the noble and hearty Dwarves, driven out of their homes by Goblin; The Elves, trying to avenge their ancient allies, only to be betrayed by their thralls, the Feloras. Humans were almost on this list too, but they persevered, though weakened and their numbers dwindling. Countless battles still rage, but none as great as The Purge.
Many believed it was sent to wash away all conflict, to unify the planet; but they were wrong. The Purge was here to hasten the extinction of the living, only to return them into Undeath. It did not care if someone was innocent of crimes against a different race, It needed to feed.
Where It came from, nobody knew; but as quick as It came into excistense, as quick It vanis
An unlikely alliance - Zubaja's story Ch.3Complete chaos had taken hold of Sen'jin village: The wounded were everywhere. Zubaja could not believe that this was happening now, not after the recent happenings with Deathwing's return. A sudden pain brought Zubaja back to earth and as he felt what the cause of his pain was, he found an arrow firmly lodged in his shoulder. Zubaja snarled, broke she shaft, threw it on the ground and used his healing spells to numb the pain. The arrowhead would have to wait.An unlikely alliance - Zubaja's story Ch.3 by Zubaja
A loud battlecry erupted from behind him: Two dwarves and a Human, the former being warriors and the latter a hunter, advanced upon him. No sooner had Zubaja seen them, and a swift Chain Lightning erupted from the palm of his hands, striking the Dwarves and put them in shock. Their bodies twitching, their mouths foaming. It would not last, but Zubaja bought himself some time to deal with the more dangerous adversary. Swiftly turning into a Ghost Wolf, Zubaja advanced towards the Human hunter, which swiftly sought to get away, but
Dear Writer's BlockDear Writer's Block,Dear Writer's Block by anchauvies
It's not you, it's me. It's the fear that I may never have an original thought again. The nights that I've tried to write a simple poem, and you'll be there, haunting me for days on end... I'm sorry to say it, but these past few months have been torture. There's just really not a nice or polite way to put it. So how can I say this...? I hate you. You may very well be the biggest pain in my life right now. I'm not in enjoying this at all. I'm tired of the times that you show up, and my brainstorming has to come to a screeching halt.
I know how much you enjoy invading my brain, but I just don't see how this can work out. I've thought over every possible solution and
Menas-Terth is the closest planet to Delenta and sometimes experiences an orbital-bump when Verra passes by. The planet was first discovered when the use of the first telescope was more widely appreciated and more elves started gazing at the stars. It wasn't until the dwarves started gazing that the mineral properties were also discovered.
The second-closest planet to Delenta. It looks much like a twin to Menas-Terth other than that this planet isn't nearly smooth-surfaced and actually has canyons and mountains.
The minerals that are present on this planet are even rarer than on Menas-Terth and are also more in the open; as in that they jut out of the ground and mountains as if they're plants. Very big plants.
The first of three habitable planets present in the system and also the biggest. Terrada has the biggest diversity both in species and how the planet is divided into land, ocean, ice, mountains etc.
Its most prominent feature has to be a unique ring around it with 5 moons, of which one is a Gas Dwarf; the complete opposite of a Gas Giant. The planet has a rich history known by its four most prominent races; sadly also a history of war, pain and disaster.
To this day only one continent has ever been discovered, for every ocean-venture never returned. Who knows what else the planet holds?
The second habitable planet in the system. Not much is known about its flora or fauna, other than that the entire planet is nearly covered in jungles, swamps and a small mountain-range.
The third habitable planet in the system. Most of the planet is covered in sand, small oases and even a small ocean.
Hardly any mountains exist on the planet but canyons are abundant, making the planet look as if it has been severely scarred.
'Twas the year 1990, on the 22nd day of November, when a wee lad was born. That wee lad, 'twas I.
"Lo and behold!" Many a person would exclaim, for 'twas a sight to behold. A silent baby, narry a peep, but alive and well, for my stink made my parents weep.
Youth be a cruel mistress as she tortured me on every step, I was autistic I was, narry a friend I made 'cause of it up until highschool, for then I got to go into IT.
Highschool was great and a soothing experience, for I could be myself and lose myself in the fantasies that roamed my great mind. I would program day and night, practise my skill for a complete mastery, when a woman came into my life, beautiful and a sight to behold.
Then came college, a worthy experience, which I narry failed with the chance of succes as thick as a newborn-baby's hair. The latter, speaking of, became my present. Two wee sucklings, a boy and a lass, now bring joy to my life as did my girlfriend's now enlarged.. buttocks.
Work became a reality and I was dragged into the standard drag of the working man; A 9 to 5 job is now my fate, as I silently sit here and wait.
The wee ones grow and become strong, as dad works hard to ensure a great future as was his own.
Sacrifice; You don't give something up, you merely add an obligation because you chose to. And narry does a man choose to sacrifice something if it's all for naught.

An outstanding book
This book is really a must read for anyone interested in business and general management. Jack Welch's vision and ideas are rather precisely described. Although the book is not very technical, it describes all you need to understand the GE way and the simple but powerful ideas Welch implemented at GE. And although the book is not recent, the power of its ideas is still really relevant in the new economy age.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

College is nothing George can't handle
After all that, this was it.
My classmates and I had just graduated, had just crossed the gymnasium stage into a new chapter of life. We will eventually many forget many of the kids we went to high school with, as we grow older and start living our futures in new, separate worlds.
However, nothing can change the fact that we were together in this, our moment of glory and accomplishment.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Federal judge dismisses copyright lawsuit filed by William Faulkner heirs against Sony
JACKSON, Miss. - A federal judge in Mississippi has dismissed a lawsuit claiming that Woody Allen's 2011 film "Midnight in Paris" improperly used one of William Faulkner's most famous lines.
Faulkner Literary Rights LLC sued Sony Pictures Classics Inc. in October in U.S. District Court in Oxford, Miss., Faulkner's hometown.
The lawsuit said a character in the movie took a line from Faulkner's book, "Requiem for a Nun."
"The past is never dead. It's not even past," Faulkner wrote in the book.
In the movie, actor Owen Wilson, says: "The past is not dead. Actually, it's not even past. You know who said that? Faulkner. And he was right. I met him too. I ran into him at a dinner party."
U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills, himself the author of a book called "Twice Told Tombigbee Tales," dismissed the lawsuit in a ruling Thursday.
"The court has viewed Woody Allen's movie, 'Midnight in Paris,' read the book, 'Requiem for a Nun,' and is thankful that the parties did not ask the court to compare 'The Sound and the Fury' with 'Sharknado,'" the judge wrote.
The "Sound and the Fury" is a Faulkner classic. "Sharknado" is a recent television movie about tornadoes that fling sharks from the ocean onto land, with deadly consequences.
"At issue in this case is whether a single line from a full-length novel singly paraphrased and attributed to the original author in a full-length Hollywood film can be considered a copyright infringement. In this case, it cannot," the judge wrote.
Lee Caplin, who oversees the literary estate, said Friday in a telephone interview that the ruling "is problematic for authors throughout the United States" and he's considering what legal options are available.
"We're very disappointed in the judge's ruling and we feel it's not only wrong, it's going to be damaging to creative people everywhere," Caplin said.
Sony Pictures said in a statement Friday that the company was "confident that the judge in this case would get it right, and he did."
The lawsuit had argued that the line could confuse viewers "as to a perceived affiliation, connection or association" between Faulkner and Sony.
Mills disagreed.
"The movie contains literary allusion, the name Faulkner and a short paraphrase of his quote, neither of which can possibly be said to confuse an audience as to an affiliation between Faulkner and Sony," Mills wrote in a 17-page memorandum that accompanied the ruling.

I have just returned from a trip to Bali where my wife and I stayed at Amana Villas. Right from the onset, i was very impressed with the quick responses and booking confirmation over emails.
When we flew into Denpasar Airport on Saturday, the driver (Yudna) was waiting for us. I was immediately impressed with his friendliness and helpfulness, and on the way to the villa (a half hour ride from the airport), he introduced us to Amana Villas as well as the various things and places we could do and visit during our stay. We were also provided with refreshing cold towels and cold bottles of mineral water, which was really welcome after the flight.
On arrival at the front desk, we were escorted to our villa for check in, which I felt was a really nice touch. No hanging around the front desk waiting for our turn after a flight. We were provided with a refreshing juice on arrival at the villa, and our assigned butler walked our suitcase to the room, and then introduced us to the room amenities, as well as the number to call. We were even provided with a complimentary SIM card (Telkomsel) with some prepaid credit (approx 1000 IDR).
The villa was done up in typical Balinese fashion, with an abundance of wood and natural materials. Amana Villas prides themselves on being an eco-friendly resort, with the bedlinen made from bamboo cotton. The rooms were remarkably clean and fresh, with a small 3m x 2m dipping pool just outside the bedroom. The Pool Villa comprises of 3 rooms
- the main/living room has a large, comfortable L-shaped couch and cooling is via a ceiling fan. A wall-mounted LCD TV set is connected to a DVD recorder, and a variety of DVD movies are available at the front desk as a complimentary service. Light ambient music is also provided via an iPod Nano connected to a JBL speaker system.
- the bedroom holds a king-sized bed in bamboo cotton bedlinen. Air-conditioned, this makes for a wonderful respite from the humidity prevalent in southeast asian countries like Indonesia. The bedroom overlooks the dipping pool. There are two wardrobes, one of which houses a small safe, the other has a compact hair dryer and 2 bathrobes, with extra hangers, and a laundry bag)
- the bathroom is as large as the other two rooms. You are greeted by a large bathtub (complimentary bath salts are provided), and an well-equipped sink area (complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion are provided, as is a dental kit and a shaving kit). There is also a rain shower (I love rain showers). Just outside the bathroom is a parasol with 2 sun chairs that overlook the dipping pool, a lovely touch when one just wants to chill out.
Nice touches include AC/wall power sockets that support most/all international plug types, so no need to fret or search for international power adapters.
Room service is remarkably prompt and the food was fairly priced (more so than the tourist traps around Seminyak Square). I had a plate of Nasi Goreng Ayam (Fried Rice with chicken satay, a chicken drumstick, and prawn crackers) for just USD5.50 (a steal considering what the restaurants outside were charging).
A complimentary breakfast is provided, consisting of a main course (I had banana pancakes on the first day, nasi goreng with shrimp on the second day), choice of hot cold Balinese coffee, cappucino, espresso, or a variety of tea, a cold juice (I had watermelon juice on both days), a small bowl of fresh cut fruit, and a cold glass of water. You simply place your order the day/night before, and the time you want to have breakfast, and it's delivered on time. I love how they call the villa before coming by, and they are always prompt. For USD8, you can get a pot of freshly brewed local specialty, Kopi Luwak, in a french press. It was so good that I had it on both days.
In case of inclement weather, there are two full-sized umbrellas in the living room.
On thing - the villas are located in the heart of Seminyak, and accesible via a narrow-one-lane road. It's quite a surprise really, going through the relative chaos of the town (aka tourist traps), through a one-lane road, and finding the front desk of the establishment welcoming you like an oasis. It's a slice of sanity, order and serenity in an otherwise chaotic environment.
There's a nice supermarket just 3 minutes from the front desk if you want to stock up on refreshments and snacks.

Suz, mommy to 2 chess-playing, lightsaber-wielding boys
I used to do a lot of historic museum performance, and my costume included a mid-19th century hoop skirt. For some reason whenever we had Russian/Eastern European visitors (particularly elderly woman), they would just lift up my hoops skirt to see what was underneath. (Hello! There are a pair of legs and a butt under here, what did you think?) I was shocked at first, but then I learned to laugh and explain that 19th century women don't like their lower bodies looked at. I think it made me more tolerant of the belly-touching phenomenom!

Garage door bumps when opening
danamiteJune 27, 2010
The garage door bumps the header lightly, particularly when going up. It will not open up completely without a little help. Should the door be adjusted or is the motor weak? Or something else? It is an Overhead Door chain drive with a single spring above the door.
When the door hits the header there is a problem with the door hardware. The drive gear could be going bad causing the needing help to open problem or you might try increasing the 'up force' adjustment which is on the end near where all those white wires go.

Luca Bruno, Associated Press
NEW YORK — The stock market fell in early trading Thursday, dragged down by disappointing earnings from IBM and other major U.S. companies.
The weak corporate results were more than enough to offset the positive news that Congress raised the nation's borrowing limit late Wednesday to temporarily avert the United States from defaulting on its debt.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 96 points, or 0.6 percent, to 15,278 in the first half-hour of trading.
IBM was the biggest decliner on the Dow, falling $11.30, or 6.1 percent, to $175.30. The technology giant said Wednesday that its third-quarter net income rose 6 percent, but revenue fell and missed Wall Street's forecast by more than $1 billion.
Goldman Sachs also weighed down the index. The investment bank's revenue fell sharply as trading in bonds and other securities slowed. Goldman was down $4.07, or 3 percent, $158.10.
Other major stock indexes fell far less than the Dow. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost three points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,718 and the Nasdaq composite lost 10 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,829.
Now that there was no longer an immediate fear that the United States could default on its debt and the government was reopening, Wall Street was surveying the damage.
Market analysts expect 16-day partial shutdown of the government caused billions of dollars of damage to the U.S. economy through furloughed government employees, delayed government contracts, and declines in tourism at national parks. Analysts at Wells Fargo said the shutdown likely cut 0.5 percentage points off of U.S. economic growth.
Investors are still concerned that the two parties won't be able to reach a longer-term budget agreement. The deal approved late Wednesday only permits the Treasury Department to borrow through Feb. 7 and fund government through Jan. 15.
"The agreement represents another temporary fix that pushes fiscal uncertainty into the early months of next year," Wells Fargo analysts said.
Despite Thursday's modest declines and medium-term worries about the damage the debt ceiling and government shutdown did to the economy, there were signs that normalcy was returning to financial markets.
Stresses in the bond market were easing. The one-month Treasury bill was back to trading at a yield of 0.01 percent, about where it was a month ago, and down sharply from 0.35 percent on Tuesday.
Usually a staid, conservative security, the one-month T-bill was subjected to a wave of mass selling at the beginning of the month. Investors feared the T-bill would be the first piece of government debt to be affected by a U.S. default if the debt ceiling were breached and the federal government could no longer pay its obligations.
The yield on the more closely-watched 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.62 percent from 2.67 percent Wednesday.

One thing XML in a Nutshell covers that this book doesn't seem to is XSL FO. I'd also like to see XML in a Nutshell's second edition updated to include a section on SVG.
Personally I use XML in a Nutshell all the time, but then I'm biased as I did the tech review for it. Mostly I just use it to look up characters in the entity reference at the back ;-)

We are a comprehensive campaign consulting firm working to elect intelligent, honorable and progressive Democrats to all levels of government.
Founder / President – Mario Piscatella
After managing one Congressional campaign and consulting on another during his final semester at San Diego State University, Mario was hooked on campaigning. Since graduating with a BA in Political Science, Mario has held senior staff positions on two US House races and a US Senate race. Along the way he has been all over the country working on federal, local and coordinated campaigns, touching thirty five states in 2008 after spending nearly all of 2007 in Iowa on Chris Dodd's Presidential Campaign. Serving as Western Iowa Regional Director, Mario spent eleven months mastering the ins and outs of caucuses, an experience he would apply as a lead trainer for the Nevada Democratic Party during the final weeks of their caucuses and later to a unanimous caucus victory in a Virginia Congressional Primary.
Mario spent the final months of the 2008 campaign on an idealistic crusade, assisting the Obama Coordinated efforts in Florida and Ohio as well as the victorious red to blue Congressional campaigns of Alan Grayson and Mary Jo Kilroy.
In his free time, Mario trains activists for organizations like Democracy for America and works with Young Democrats on the local, state and national levels.
Thus far in 2012, Mario has worked with Connecticut State House Speaker Chris Donovan on his message and delivery and took the reins of Darcy Burner's intense primary campaign in Washington's First District for the final three months.
With experience in all aspects of campaigning, Mario focuses on strategy, communications and training and is always in search of good, proud, progressive Democratic candidates to help.

Can Faith and Science Coexist?
February 23rd, 2015 | 63
Last week I "debated" the question above at my school, Stevens Institute of Technology, in an event sponsored by the Christian group Veritas.

Be wary of the righteous rationalist: We should reject Sam Harris's claim that science can be a moral guidepost
October 11th, 2010 | 50
Say what you will about Sam Harris, the man's got guts. In The End of Faith (W. W. Norton, 2005) and Letter to a Christian Nation (Knopf, 2006), Harris, a neuroscientist, rejects the notion that science and religion can coexist. We can't believe in science, Harris says, and still believe in supernatural beings that part [...]Keep reading »
