Conservation tillage and judicious use of animal manures as fertilizers can make significant contributions for sustainable food production in the twenty-first century. Identifying and understanding the many interactions occurring within agricultural systems is fundamental for accomplishing this feat. This paper synthesizes 14 years of research results from a study that began in the early 1990s in which researchers from USDA-ARS and the University of Georgia investigated cropping system influences on nutrient management under natural rainfall. Increases in C and N with no-till resulted in improved soil structure that increased infiltration rate and soil water availability. Biological activity as indicated by earthworms was greater with no-till and poultry litter (PL). In all but the very driest year, yields of cotton and corn increased on average 10–27% with no-till and 32–42% with combination of no-till and PL. On the other hand soil nutrient accumulation, particularly P and Zn from long-term use of poultry litter in corn production, reached excessive levels and could present environmental risks. Drainage increased in no-till raising the risk of leaching of nutrients into the soil profile. However, runoff decreased in no-till and the presence of a rye cover crop during the winter reduced the leaching losses of N compared to no cover crop. During cotton production under relative drought, no-till and poultry litter led to somewhat elevated dissolved phosphorus concentration in runoff, and fluometuron was detected in runoff and drainage while pendimethalin was not. Fecal indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli and fecal enterococci), and the hormones estradiol and testosterone were observed in drainage and runoff but concentrations were similar across all treatments. By conducting the study for an extended period under natural environmental conditions, we were able to highlight real risks and potentials of the contrasting cropping systems. While 6 out of 14 years of relative drought might have limited the water quality response of treatments, such droughts are common features of the weather pattern in the region. Even then, use of no-till as the predominant tillage system was supported by improved yields. Fertilizer management, especially crop N need-based use of PL, requires closer monitoring to insure that production advantages of no-till and poultry litter are not offset by concerns with environmental risks. Long-term research requires sustained resource inputs to answer critical questions of environmental risk and emerging unknown issues.

Alternate title: Like Poison
The "poison" in this drama about an unfaithful husband refers to his infatuation with a younger woman in his office, and how this affects his relationships and his own future. Pavel Hnyk (Zdenek Sverak) has been bored with his marriage for awhile and already has a mistress when he first meets Julka (Ivona Krajcovicova), a woman who comes from Slovakia to work in his architectural firm's office. His distraction with the new and physically appealing colleague is detrimental to the renovation project he is working on, and no one encourages him in his romantic adventure. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Studies have demonstrated that nicotine promotes the progression of a number of disease processes, including cancer and fibrosis. Recent evidence suggests that nicotine plays a role in liver fibrosis. Cholangiocytes are the epithelial cells that line the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. During biliary injury that occurs with diseases such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), cholangiocytes undergo a reactive process termed "ductular reaction," and display a neuroendocrine phenotype that may contribute to the fibrotic pathologies, and eventual development of cholangiocarcinoma. Epidemiological data indicate that smoking contributes to biliary fibrosis and cholangiocarcinoma. Due to this reason and the prevalence of nicotine usage, it was important to understand the role that nicotine plays in the progression of biliary fibrosis, and the regulators of this process. We first examined whether nicotine has pro-proliferative effects on the biliary system. We demonstrated in vitro that nicotine increases the proliferation of the normal cholangiocyte cell line (NRIC) by MTS assay and PCNA expression by western blot. We also demonstrated that nicotine works through a calcium/inositol triphosphate/phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase (Ca2+/IP3/p-ERK) intracellular signaling pathway in NRIC. In vivo, rats were treated with nicotine via osmotic minipump infusion for two weeks. In the nicotine-treated group, we found an increase in the proliferation of cholangiocytes identified by cytokeratin (CK-19, a cholangiocyte specific marker) staining, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression. Increased expression of fibrotic genes/proteins was seen in liver tissue, and cholangiocytes isolated from rodent livers. Next, we sought to determine the effect of nicotine on cholangiocarcinoma proliferation. In vitro, nicotine stimulated the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma growth, in the MzChA-1, CCLP1, and HuCC-Tl cell lines. In a nude mouse xenograft model, nicotine treatment caused an increase in tumor volume and PCNA expression. These data support the current literature suggesting that nicotine may induce fibrogenesis, and contributes to the liver pathology observed in smokers. They also support the notion that nicotine stimulates the growth of biliary cancer and call for further investigation of the subject. Head of Department: Alejandro Arroliga The Role of Specificity Protein Transcription Factors And Noncoding Rnas In Colorectal And Hepatocellular Carcinomas http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/154261 2015-05-23T06:20:16Z The Role of Specificity Protein Transcription Factors And Noncoding Rnas In Colorectal And Hepatocellular Carcinomas Specificity protein transcription factors, Spl, Sp3 and Sp4 are overexpressed in multiple cancer cell lines and tumor types and Sp-regulated genes play an important role in cancer cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis and inflammation. Noncoding RNAs have been implicated in carcinogenesis and cancer progression, and our studies investigated the role of Sp proteins and noncoding RNAs in colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas. We investigated the anticancer activity of curcumin and several synthetic analogs in colon cancer cells. Curcumin inhibits growth of several cancer cell lines, and studies in this laboratory in bladder and pancreatic cancer cells show that curcumin downregulates Spl, Sp3 and Sp4 and pro-oncogenic Sp-regulated genes. The IC50 (half- maximal) values for growth inhibition (24 hr) of colon cancer cells by curcumin and synthetic cyclohexanone and piperidine analogs of curcumin varied from 10 /zM for curcumin to 0.7 //M for the most active synthetic piperidine analog RL197, which was used along with curcumin as model agents in this study. Curcumin and RL197 inhibited RKO and SW480 colon cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis, and this was accompanied by downregulation of specificity protein (Sp) transcription factors Spl, Sp3 and Sp4 and Sp-regulated genes including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-MET), survivin, bcl-2, cyclin D1 and NFkB (p65 and p50). Curcumin and RL197 also induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cotreatment with the antioxidant glutathione significantly attenuated curcumin- and RL197-induced growth inhibition and downregulation of Spl, Sp3, Sp4 and Sp-regulated genes. The mechanism of curcumin-/RL197-induced repression of Sp transcription factors was ROS-dependent and due to induction of the Sp repressors ZBTB10 and ZBTB4 and downregulation of microRNAs (miR)-27a, miR-20a and miR- 17-5p that regulate these repressors. These results identify a new and highly potent curcumin derivative and demonstrate that in cells where curcumin and RL197 induce ROS, an important underlying mechanism of action involves perturbation of miR- ZBTB10/ZBTB4, resulting in the induction of these repressors which downregulate Sp transcription factors and Sp-regulated genes. In our second study, we investigated the effects of Sp proteins and Sp-regulated long noncoding RNAs (IncRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). LncRNAs have recently garnered attention because of their pivotal role in cancer and other diseases, and IncRNA HULC (Highly Upregulated in Liver Cancer) was identified as a liver cancer- specific noncoding RNA and the most upregulated gene in HCC. Both HULC and Spl are upregulated in HCC, but the relationship between HULC and Spl and the underlying mechanism by which HULC contributes to HCC metastasis have not been investigated. We examined the expression of Sp proteins and IncRNAs in three HCC cell lines and found that HULC is an Spl-regulated IncRNA involved in HCC growth and metastasis. Both Spl and HULC contribute to epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HCC cells and downregulation of either resulted in reversal of EMT and acquisition of epithelial characteristics. Our findings identify a novel role for HULC and, as an Spl- regulated IncRNA, make it an attractive target for drug treatment in HCC. Together, these studies provide conclusive evidence regarding the pro-oncogenic role of Sp proteins and Sp-linked ncRNAs, and illustrate the utility of drugs that downregulate Sp proteins as anticancer agents. Identification of Novel Salmonella Typhimurium Genes Required For Survival During Intestinal Inflammation http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/154260 2015-05-23T06:20:18Z Identification of Novel Salmonella Typhimurium Genes Required For Survival During Intestinal Inflammation Bovine ligated ileal loops provide the best model to examine Salmonella Typhimurium genes required for survival during the early stages of infection, as humans and cattle develop very similar intestinal pathogenesis in response to the organism. Utilizing pools of mutants, both single gene and multi-gene deletion mutants, much of the S. Typhimurium genome can be screened simultaneously. A library consisting of multi-gene deletion mutants was screened in ligated ileal loops in calves. Regions of the genome required for survival in this model were identified in mucus and tissue samples using microarray analysis. STM1187-90 was one such region identified as under selection in both mucus and tissue. A ASTM1188 mutant was confirmed to poorly colonize the intestinal mucus and tissue in the presence of inflammation in competitive infections with the wild type. Complementation in trans reversed the phenotype of the ASTM1188 mutant. The phenotype of the ASTM1188 mutant was replicated and complemented in trans in the murine colitis model. STM1188 is a Salmonella specific gene whose protein product we show to be located in the inner membrane. This gene is absent in host-adapted serovars S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A. Mutation of the putative lipobox cysteine to alanine resulted in mis- localization of STM1188C24A to the cytoplasm, and the inability to complement ASTM1188 in trans in mice. A second screen of a single gene deletion pool (SGD) identified many novel genes with potential roles during inflammation as well as many predicted genes with defined roles during the early stages of infection. Several novel gene phenotypes were confirmed and subsequently complemented in competitive infections with wild type. AhilE was identified during SGD screening and confirmed in bovine ligated ileal loops as being selected against during competitive infections with extensive inflammation, however, it was not selected against when the inflammatory immune response was limited. HilE has been previously shown to negatively regulate SPI-1 expression. Utilizing the murine colitis model, the AhilE phenotype was confirmed and complemented during competitive infection with wild type. By using (3-galactosidase assays, AhilE was confirmed to overexpress SPI-1, however, surprisingly AhilE also overexpressed SPI-2 during SPI-1 inducing conditions. In the current studies we performed Salmonella screens in bovine ligated ileal loops and confirmed novel virulence genes required for survival during inflammation. Head of Department: James Samuel Ethanol's Effect on Stem Cell Subpopulations And The Implications For Cortical Patterning And Development In Fetal Alcohol Syndrome http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/154259 2015-05-23T06:20:19Z Ethanol's Effect on Stem Cell Subpopulations And The Implications For Cortical Patterning And Development In Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Maternal alcohol consumption during the first and second trimester of pregnancy remains the leading cause of preventable mental retardation in the United States. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a wide spectrum disease that is characterized by the craniofacial, cognitive and behavioral developmental defects that occur due to fetal alcohol exposure. FAS describes the extreme manifestation of abnormal fetal development within the broad field of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Previous work done by Santiallno, et al. have demonstrated that fetal alcohol exposure increases cell cycle activity and decreases stem cell diversity in a mouse neurosphere model of FAS. The goal of this dissertation is to present data on a stem cell surface marker that is ethanol sensitive and serves to indentify a neural stem cell (NSC) subpopulation that is reduced with ethanol exposure. The data presented identifies CD24 as a cell surface marker expressed in mouse neurosphere culture that is decreased with ethanol exposure, which marks a migratory population of NSCs. This paper introduces a novel method of determining the effect of ethanol exposure on this NSC subpopulation by using an in-vivo model of cell migration via ultrasound-guided microinjection. This novel method seeks to address the question of whether an initial cellular exposure to alcohol as opposed to an alcohol microenvironment is responsible for the adverse NSC migration and CNS development in children with FASD. Our data shows that CD24+ expressing cells are significantly reduced in numbers with 320mg/dL high ethanol exposure and as such identifies a pool of NSC that is ethanol sensitive. We also found that ethanol treated CD24+ isolated cells have decreased neurite outgrowth as compared to control after retinoic acid treatment for differentiation. We conclude that an initial binge ethanol exposure is sufficient to cause cell autonomous reprogramming in a newly identified ethanol sensitive subpopulation of migratory NSCs and this provides a stem cell hypothesis for the mechanism behind the teratology of FAS.

Kyphon is also supporting local and national awareness campaigns of osteoporosis organizations around the globe such as the Irish Osteoporosis Society (IOS), the Fundacion Hispana de Osteoporosis y Enfermedades Metabolicas (FHOEMO) of Spain, and the Italian Association for Patients with Osteoporosis (AECOS). In addition, Kyphon is offering free osteoporosis patient education posters for physicians' offices in countries across Europe.
Osteoporosis, a term that means "porous bones," is a disease in which bones become weak and can easily break. It is known as "the silent disease" because many of the estimated 75 million women and men in the United States, Europe and Japan who suffer from osteoporosis do not know they are losing bone mass until they experience a spine, hip or wrist fracture. Of the 1.5 million fractures attributable to osteoporosis that occur annually in the U.S., nearly half are spinal fractures, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Kyphon markets medical devices that are used in minimally invasive therapies for the treatment of spinal fractures in order to improve the quality of life of those affected by spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis and cancer.

What are Neutrinos?
July 2, 2011
Scientists discover neutrinos when trying to measure the amount of particles traveling to Earth from the Sun. Neutrinos are so small that they are able to travel across through the universe at nearly the speed of light.

The Physics Of A Football Player's Performance
By Mike Pesca
The New York Giants' Brandon Jacobs is a 6'4", 270 pound running back. And with that kind of size, you think he'd be able to run right through would-be tacklers, especially when he only needs to pick up a few yards. But he often can't — Jacobs's stats are below average in those situations. A couple NFL greats and a physics professor have the answer.

About Seat Posts
A good quality seat post will save weight and hold your saddle securely. Seatposts are made in various materials, alloy and carbon being the two most common, alloy posts are lightweight, durable and cost efficient, while carbon posts are the popular choice for top end machines. Seat posts vary in where they hold the saddle relative to their own centre line so make sure you have enough adjustment on your saddle rails to allow for this or you could end up with your saddle too far forwards. A seat post needs to fit your frame exactly and are measured by as little as 0.2mm. When choosing a new one, either read off the measurement from your old seat post or measure it carefully with a vernier calliper. Make sure you lubricate the frame (unless they're carbon fibre) before insertion or you'll struggle to get it out again.

Encinitas should accept the need for a passing track
North County Times
Two things are fairly clear today, 12 years after the first plans were drawn to build a 1.7-mile passing track for Coaster trains in Encinitas:
- The city of Encinitas, through lawsuits, can make it extremely difficult, expensive and time-consuming for the North County Transit District to get the passing track built;
- Encinitas should not do so.
The Encinitas City Council has some valid objections to the project, but our entire region has such a clear and overwhelming need for transportation improvements that the council should drop the plans it appears to be laying to sue the NCTD to stop the passing track. Here's why:
- The NCTD has $3 million from a 1990 transportation bond that has been allocated for the passing track -- more than half the cost of the project. If work on the double-tracking is not begun by next February, that money probably will be lost forever.
- Every other coastal city in North County has a passing track for the Coaster; Encinitas should pull its weight.
- Highway traffic already is unbearable and it is not getting any better.
- The railroad line already exists; getting more use out of it is an obvious and inexpensive way to reduce highway congestion.
- The NCTD board voted last week to go ahead with the project.
To counter these arguments, Encinitans who oppose double-tracking offer this:
- Perhaps the $3 million could be reprogrammed for other projects, or an extension could be granted.
- Increased rail traffic will increase noise in Encinitas, as will the construction work itself.
- The NCTD has promised to come up with a master plan for the coastal rail corridor and has not done so.
- The environmental impact report for the project is 12 years old and should be redone.
- It would be better for everyone if the passing track were built below ground, to minimize traffic interruptions.
These are valid concerns, but they do not outweigh the clear and convincing need for the project.
NCTD Chairwoman Julie Nygaard, a Carlsbad councilwoman, says the California Transportation Commission is not likely to allow the money to be used for other projects or to grant an extension. Nygaard said she spoke to the commission less than two years ago to request an extension for a similar passing track in False Bay, in San Diego, and the commission was "very adamant to me that … 'you need to do the projects that we've allotted the money for.'"
Increased rail traffic will increase the noise from trains; there's no doubt about that. But it's no comparison to the noise, pollution and general insanity of the freeways that hundreds of thousands of commuters already face every day.
It would be fine indeed if the NCTD had a master plan for the entire rail line. But Nygaard comments: "If we didn't have an emergency with our roads being clogged today, I would tend to agree. … But we have an emergency today. We can't wait 10 or 15 years to improve the track from Oceanside to San Diego. We've got to incrementally keep plugging away." And Nygaard pointed out that all the coastal cities accepted the EIR when it was submitted in 1989.

Congressmen Fitzpatrick and Meehan, could you explain your vote here? I read in Sunday's Intelligencer that you voted for bills that "... cut the (IRS) enforcement division's budget by 25 percent in response to its (2012) targeting of mainly tea party groups applying for tax-exempt status...." The actual name of the agency whose budget you propose to cut is the IRS Criminal Investigation unit, the folks who catch taxpayers who illegally underpay their taxes. A 2012 GAO report concluded that, overall, a dollar spent on enforcement returns $6 to the government.
Tax cheats tend to be the very poor (earned income credits) and the very well off. For most of us, the IRS knows how much money we make and what most of our deductions are, so our tax cheating is pretty minor stuff. Business owners and the wealthy, however, pay lawyers to criminally avoid billions of dollars in taxes owed. It costs a lot of time and money to sort through the records and bogus accounting to catch them, and thanks to Congressman Fitzpatrick, there will be a lot less of this.

This was a wonderful trip and I would recommend it to anyone who does not have much time to take in the delights of SIngapore. Everything went smoothly including the pick up.
Singapore, Singapore
My Rating
This trip was wonderful with plenty of opportunity to get up close to these fabulous animals. There was plenty of choice for breakfast but to be honest I was sooo excited when the orangutans came that I didn't eat much. The trip also included the little train that takes you round the zoo. It is a marvellous zoo and if you are not in ahutty I would recommend you stay behind and get a taxi back.

Michigan much too much for Florida
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
Another fabulous group of young players has Michigan headed back to the Final Four.
Led by Big Ten player of the year Trey Burke and sharp-shooting guard Nik Stauskas, one of three freshman starters, the Wolverines dominated Florida right from tipoff, scoring the game's first 13 points and routing the Gators 79-59 in the South Regional final Sunday.
''A lot of guys said we were really young and that we couldn't get here,'' said Burke, a sophomore and the South Region's most outstanding player. ''We're here now and we still have unfinished business.''
The last time Michigan made it this far was the Fab Five era of the early 1990s, what until now had been considered the program's glory years.
Might be time to start rethinking that.
Once they got ahead Sunday, the Wolverines (30-7) maintained a double-digit against the SEC regular-season champion Gators (29-8), who lost in a regional final for the third straight year.
''We haven't gotten off the greatest of starts of late. That was a terrific start,'' Michigan coach John Beilein said. ''Just hanging in there with our defense allowed us to keep that separation.''
Stauskas scored 22 points while making all six of his 3-pointers and Burke scored 15. Mitch McGary, a 6-foot-10 freshman, had 11 points and nine rebounds.
FOX BRACKET CHALLENGEThe tournament has kicked off.

When the game ended, Burke was among several Michigan players who went to the opposite side of the court toward Michigan fans behind press row with fingers raised. Fans were chanting, ''It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!''
And great to be young.
The Wolverines are headed to Atlanta to play Syracuse (30-9) in a national semifinal game Saturday.
Michigan hadn't reached the Final Four since consecutive national championship game appearances in 1992 and 1993, the freshman and sophomore seasons of the Fab Five: Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King.
Webber was gone before that team's 1994 regional final loss to Arkansas played in the now-demolished Reunion Arena in Dallas, and Howard followed him to the NBA after that.
With four wins in this NCAA tourney, the Wolverines already have more tournament victories than their total from the end of the Fab Five era to this season. They had one win in 1998, and then didn't even make the field again until 2009.
Despite being the only team to make regional finals each of the last three seasons, the Gators haven't been to the Final Four since winning consecutive national titles in 2006 and 2007.
CAMERA CRAZIESThese college hoops fans take cheering on their teams to the next level.
Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy, the four-year seniors who came in not long after those titles, will leave without one of their own. They were part of the only Gators class to win consecutive outright SEC regular-season championships, but came up short in the biggest games.
Boynton and Will Yeguete had 13 points each for the Gators.
Florida is the first team to make it to three consecutive regional final games without winning at least one of them, according to STATS. Wyoming lost in the round of eight from 1947-49, but that stretch ended two years before the NCAA tournament expanded to more than eight teams.
The Gators were able to recover from an early deficit against Florida Gulf Coast for a 62-50 win Friday night on the raised stage at Cowboys Stadium.
It was another story facing Big Blue.
After McGary started the scoring with a layup, Stauskas made a behind-the-back pass to McGary for a slam before making his first 3-pointer less than a half-minute after that.
Burke passed to McGary for a layup before driving for one of his own. McGary's jumper made it 13-0 only 3:05 into the game.
TOP TOURNEY MOMENTSCheck out the top 10 moments in NCAA tournament history.
Stauskas, who was 2-of-12 from 3-point range the first three games of this NCAA tourney, couldn't miss against the Gators.
The 6-foot-6 guard from Canada put the Wolverines up by 24 points with 4:08 left in the first half after two consecutive 3s from the left corner in a span of 27 seconds.
Like he did on all of his makes, Stauskas came back down the court with a smile on his face, sharing the moment with the Wolverines fans who made the trip to North Texas.
Florida missed its first seven shots before Will Yeguete made a layup more than 3 1/2 minutes into the game.
It was a rough finale for Murphy, who twice thought he had easy baskets in front of him only to have the shots blocked. Murphy had eight rebounds, but finished 0-of-11 shooting and was scoreless for the first time this season.
Murphy was obviously devastated, staring at the floor with slumped shoulder in the locker room after the game.
''Just missed shots,'' Murphy said, barely loud enough to be heard, and answering in short spurts. ''Our defense was bad.''
Even with an 11-2 run late in the first half punctuated by Boynton's 3-pointer, the Gators were still down by 15 with a minute to go in the first half.
And the Wolverines were able to score even after it appeared that the half had ended; Burke was already started heading off the court pumping his right arm toward the Michigan fans.
Stauskas was fouled on a 3-point attempt with 0.4 seconds left and, after officials reviewed the play, hit two free throws to give the Wolverines a 47-30 lead.
It was that kind of day for Michigan, and for Florida.

That's only 50ml though. I don't think anybody actually tried to put a large amount of water in zero g, but I would guess that unless it's a really large amount and it can hold by its own gravity, it wouldn't form a bubble. Maybe if you gradually add water through the center with a straw? I don't know... However I think it would totally stick together, so a fish would be mostly fine if there's enough water. But then would it care about not knowing where up is and not be able to move or would it start doing flips and barrel rolls? Would it know where the edge is or just fly out to its death?

I just Google'd "fish in space" and apparently there has been experiments with fish in zero-G environments. They even have an aquarium on the ISS. There are already videos of people messing with water in space so the water would hold too.
Edit: and I don't think the fish will swim out of the water either, unless they're the dumb type that throws itself onto the ground and dies on Earth.

I'm pretty sure astronauts and cosmonauts use water balls as a fun trick on the ISS. You squirt it gently through a straw so it expands outward.
Here's how I see this:
Fish in a space station: Totally plausible. There may be less gravity, but hydrogen bonding and pressure would allow the water molecules to stay together to provide a medium for movement. Also oxygen in the ship would allow for diffusion through the water bubble for the fish to breath.
Fish in open space: Absolutely not plausible. The vacuum of space and the extremely cold temperatures would cause liquid water to immediately become vapor. This isn't dissimilar to the "water gun on a cold day" analogy you can find on YouTube. The fish would turn into a block of frozen molecules, like every space death you've ever seen.
That is all

i also hope that there maintains a steady supply of weapons to the exchange, so the prices do not increase too much. i only put that in there, because personally, i have noticed the subsequent drop of supply in mk xii v. rare polaron weapons over the course of the past couple days.
aside from that, free to play players and the majority of new players therein will either need to buy the account bank unlock for 10 dollars or they will need to purchase new weapons for each of their toons. i hope that this too, does not affect the supply and demand situation so much that it gets out of control. prior to season 7, we had access to an endless supply of weapons and equipment. the economics of supply and demand have not been tested on the mk x-xii gear yet. will the market economy be able to bare the full weight of all the players looking to outfit their new toons?
competence, build knowledge and skill. obviously, if you have this, then there's really nothing to worry about. but as my post described, the player base it was directed towards were the average and "casual" players as well as the brand spanking new players.
so yes, i do appreciate your points. people like you and me are vastly unaffected by all these changes. but with 100+ pages of worst stf experiences, the vast calls of nerfing content and the horror builds that we know exist out there... those are the ones that we need to worry about. can they afford the stuff they need? will they be an asset or a hindrance on a team?
overall, this game is easy mode for those who have all the resources. take away all the resources that players like you and i have and i guarantee we would be singing a different tune. how would we afford our equipment upgrades? or those doffs we slot? take away all the top tiered equipment that we've accumulated over all this time. those are the players severely affected by this. not us fat cats perched upon our windowsills.

Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Gadget Links
Virtual Stuff
Windows Sites
Other Diversions
With Hyper-V™ live migration, you can move running VMs from one Hyper-V™ physical host to another without any disruption of service or perceived downtime. Live migration is integrated with Windows Server 2008® R2 Hyper-V™ and Microsoft® Hyper-V™ Server 2008 R2. Since Hyper-V™ live migration can move running virtual machines without downtime, it will facilitate greater flexibility and value:
Live migration makes it possible to keep VMs online, even during maintenance, increasing productivity for both users and server administrators. Datacenters will be also able to reduce power consumption by dynamically increasing consolidation ratios and powering off un-used physical hosts during times of lower demand.
Get the whitepaper @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fdd083c6-3fc7-470b-8569-7e6a19fb0fdf&DisplayLang=en.
I wonder how easy it will be to upgrade from Hyper-V Server to Hyper-V Server R2, or if an upgrade is even possible.
I think we will be using Hyper-V to start out here but i'd like to see us be able to use live migration too.
What I would like is an automated tool which will let me take a laptop running Vista, and convert it to Server 2008 while moving my existing Vista installation into a Hyper-V VM for future use. Is this possible? Do I lose all the laptop hardware related software such as battery monitors, fan controllers, trackpad drivers, WLAN card drivers, etc etc?
Hi Keith
Thanks for the link to the whitepaper.
I still find it amusing that live migration is now being pushed extensively by MS with the R2 releases, when originally it was never seen as a requirement in true datacentre environments. I.E. Quick Migration was more than "acceptable".
Good to see MS coming around finally.
You *could* capture your user account with USMT and then use Complete PC Backup on the vista install which turns it into a VHD. Then install Server 2008 and just load the VHD into hyper-v. Then drop your USMT account capture onto 2008 for your account stuff.
Just a thought.

BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Friday ordered issue of emergent notices to the State Government, the Special Deputy Commissioner (Special DC) of Bangalore Rural District and others on a petition by B.G. Ramesh and others challenging the permission given to convert the lands near Devanahalli, where the international airport is coming up, from agricultural to non-agricultural purposes.
The petitioners were questioning the September 12, 2004 order of the Special DC, Bangalore Rural, in permitting the Ministry of Communications Employees' House Building Cooperative Society to convert 300 acres in Hosahalli village near Bettadahalasur from agricultural to non-agricultural purposes.
The society said it wanted to form a layout but the petitioners said the land could not be converted as the Bangalore Development Authority in its Outline Development Plan had specified that the land came under the green belt area.

XENIA — As Xenia prepares for its final First Fridays in 2014, one thing is certain about the six-year-old event: It just keeps getting bigger and better.
"They've been well-attended this year," said co-organizer Heidi Hilderbrandt. "The community support continues to grow. We grow month-by-month, season-by-season. We've been able to grow entertainment. We've been able to add street performers. We've been able to add petting zoos a few times, compared to last season where we were able to bring that once."
It started as a way to get Downtown Xenia and its businesses some exposure. First Fridays has done its job as it's helped revitalize the area.
"First Fridays, with all the other stuff we've done downtown, has probably been one of the most catalytic and pivotal for all the stuff that's happening in a positive way for downtown," said Mary Crockett, Xenia community development coordinator.
Business owners used to look for space outside of downtown. Now they are lining up to get in the center of town.
"We keep hearing from small businesses that are looking for space here," Crockett said. "They say they have attended First Fridays, many, many of them. They have never seen the downtown before and they're driving through and see the big crowds."
Another big crowd is expected this weekend as the Montgomery Parking lot will turn into a petting zoo as Jungle Island returns. Matt Jergens will be riding around on his unicycle while he's juggling.
Dave Davis, a highly talented and entertaining magician, will be on South Detroit Street performing, while Lucky the Clown will be making his balloon creations on the south side of West Main Street.
Miss Lissa and Co., will be delivering the sound of old-time blues.
The popular cruise-in will take place and a walking tour of the area will begin 6:30 at the courthouse.
This month Cork 'n Bottle, Craig's Pesto Dogs, Big E's Southern Q and Sugar Shack will be featured at to the food court. Willie's Bar and Grille will feature the band "One Hot Minute."
While this season hasn't officially ended, plans are already underway for a bigger 2015.
"We'd like to add more activities, a variety of street performers," Hilderbrandt said. "We want to bring in new food vendors, new food trucks."
Whether its with more food, entertainment or activities, Hilderbrandt, and fellow coordinators Blair Montgomery Davis and Joe Rolston are committed to growing First Fridays.
"It's just a fun night to bring the family to town, stroll around and see what we have to offer," Hilderbrandt said. "We know the importance of it. We all live in Xenia. Any development and any focus on downtown, I think it's a positive thing. That's what we're all about."

Re: How did you get your start in sailing?
I never had any interest in sailing. All that heeling and zig-zagging just to hit a spot straight ahead seemed very odd for someone who grew up with power boats and canoes. So there was this guy (isn't there always?); a friend from Texas, who was buying a sailboat in my area near Annapolis. I helped him crew it down to Florida in which we motored a lot. After years spent pouring diesel into twin 350 hp engines (back when diesel was cheap), that 1/2 gph that we burned on the sailboat really caught my attention. The fact that you could run out of fuel and still get the boat where you wanted it to go, was a complete revelation. When I started crewing on other boats, I said I'd never race. "Sailboat racing" was such an oxymoron. Now I'm in San Francisco Bay and can't get enough of it. On the Chesapeake, I used to say I'd never sail in more than 20 knots of wind. Now I'm grinning from ear to ear when we get a 30-knot "puff." Funny how opportunities and an open mind can change one's perspective.

Oh my god, I totally regret purchasing Sherlock Holmes. I thought because Robert Downey Junior was in it that it would be good but it was sort of boring. The movie sucked hard. I guess it's the movies that [italic]makes[/italic] the actor and not the other way around. I still love Iron Man, though.

Yea! Rubio, one of the NDAA
Submitted by latentprints on Fri, 03/29/2013 - 08:03. Permalink
Yea! Rubio, one of the NDAA pimps, now Stands with Rand in protecting our Second Amendment rights because we shouldn't be "subjected to government surveillance". Hmmm, Marco Rubio, I figure such a stance should also conclude that we shouldn't be "subjected to government" spleen checks by the TSA, or "subjected to government" black van abductions.

5 dead in clashes as NPA rebels mark 43rd anniversary
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Three New People's Army rebels and two government soldiers were killed in three separate clashes as the communist guerrillas marked Friday their 43rd anniversary, the military said.
In Davao City, an Army private died after a paramilitary patrol base was peppered with bullets by three NPA rebels around 6 a.m. in Paradise Embac village, Paquibato District, spokesman Colonel Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos Jr. told reporters in a press briefing.
The fatality was identified as Private First Class Eriel Garalde, who was declared dead on arrival after sustaining bullet wounds to his left chest.
The gunbattle lasted for about five minutes, Burgos said, adding the rebels fled towards northern and eastern directions.
In North Cotabato, an Army private and three rebels were also killed in a five-minute firefight in Magpet town at about 11:45a.m. The soldier was identified as Private First Class Jaylord Albania.
Troops from the 57th Infantry Battalion were conducting a security patrol in Bagumbayan village when it encountered an undetermined number of rebels led by a certain Totoy Dako, he said.
The encounter lasted for about an hour.
Meanwhile, three security forces were wounded following an encounter with about 15 NPA guerrillas who were armed with AK 47s and M 16 rifles in Tambis village, Barobo town in Surigao del Sur.
Burgos said two of the injured were Privates First Class and the other was a Police Officer 1. Their names were withheld until their kin were notified.
In 2011, there were two NPA-related armed incidents reported during the NPA anniversary. The encounters took place in Compostela Valley and Negros Occidental. It left a 14-year-old civilian dead.
But Burgos said the military was "not so concerned with date of NPA anniversary."
"What we're after is the long term the statistics not just one day," he said.
He also said there were "much less" NPA-related incidents compared to this month last year.
In 2011, there were 43 NPA-related armed violence—29 guerrilla operations, 14 terrorist activities—reported ahead of the NPA anniversary.
The communist guerrillas normally conduct a series of attacks as their anniversary draws near.

The North Face Men's Triclimate Glove
The North Face Men's Triclimate Glove is an insulated winter glove for skiing. Inside you'll find a removable FlashDry liner for the coldest of days, or to wear alone on a mild day to and from the car. It will wick sweat away from your palms and dry out quickly. The shell portion is made with HyVent, a waterproof material to ensure you'll won't get soaked. The shell also has Heatseeker insulation for additional warmth, 150g at the back of the hand, 100g at the palm. Wrap the Wrist Oven leash around your wrists so you won't lose your gloves during a stop by the lodge. Before you head back out, pop a hand warmer into the leash for extra toasty paws.

These are shoveling-the-huge-drive-when-it's-wet-and-frigid-cold gloves. Or, having-fun-sledding-in-the-frigid-cold-without-frozen-fingers gloves. For both activities, great glove! They are substantial, but they will last, and they do their job. Happy to have purchased.
