text: i am about done watching Silva fight if this is his attitude. he is basically saying he does not give a fuck about the fans and if thats the case he should retire. the ufc is at fault as well for matching him up against guys like Leites and if they give him Maia next the same thing will happen as both guys will just try not to lose and neither will play in to the others game. another sleeper. Anderson Silva against Quinton Jackson or Shogun at 205 might sort this out. Joe Silva make it happen.

The concealer doesn't break me out and feels nice on the skin. Able to hide most of my acne scars with it, but it's not full coverage. Nice for the under eyes as well.

I received this concealer as a gift so I'm not exactly sure how much it is.
This however, is one of my favourite concealers if used correctly.
If just blended with a normal concealer brush, i find that you do see it enhance lines rather than 'smooth' them.
However, if you dab it on the undereyes, slightly smooth out with the fingers or use a fluffly brush to blend it it gives an natural concealed look.

I bought this concealer because I really like Clinique foundations. I was using this as an under eye conealer and it accentuated the lines under my eyes and made me look even more tired.

This is my HG concealer! I use under my eyes, on brown spots, blemishes, and vein lines. The application is easy. Love the applicator. I dot on with applicator, and smooth out. I have never had it settle into lines nor get cakey. It lasts forever, which makes it a bargain. The line smoothing concealer is as important as my mascara in my makeup routine. I tried quite a few concealers before Clinique rep suggested this to me and I don't need to try any other product. Don't leave home without it!

I love this concealer! For years I've always used drugstore concealers but I kept seeing the youtubers on Pixiwoo always use this. So I tried it out and have loved it ever since. I don't have issues with fine lines so I am not sure how well it truly works with those who have this issue. I think this concealer is great for blemishes, acne scarring and anything else. I love using this under my foundation. The price is okay considering that it is around $15 but well worth it!

This is the only concealer that doesn't make me break out. I only use it to cover my acne scars so I can't say much for the line smoothing effects. It offers great coverage so I'll definitely purchase this again!

It is a must that you moisterise and hydrate the area under your eyes before you use this concealer because it will look cakey if you don't.
I use the lightest shade and it matches rather well and it covers up my dark circles. I have very light skin so I find it difficult to conceal dark circles without ending up highlighting them and this concealer does it.
It makes lines more pronounced when I skip the daycream a second before applying the concealer.
I use the dove top applicator and dab how much i think I need and then blend t out with a MAC 224 brush, whats left over on the brush I use elsewhere on my face if needed.
Before this I used benefit under eye concealer which looked very heavy and this one doesnt look as heavy and covers better.

I bought this after I was out of my usual Stila concealer. This is supposed to be a "line smoothing" concealer but it makes fine lines more noticeable!
The packaging is cheap and it doesn't blend or cover dark circles at all. Don't waste your
money on this garbage.

After using a drugstore concealer for the longest time, I decided to try my luck with a brand name concealer. I kind of bought this product on a whim, after I couldn't find "Amazing Concealer" at my local Sephora. At first, I loved it; it was easily blendable and concealed all of my blemishes. However, after a couple more uses, I discovered that it wore off after just a few hours (even with setting powder) and showed up really orangey in natural light. Especially since this concealer wasn't extremely cheap, I really was expecting more out of this product.

I was thrilled to read so many good reviews on this product and bought it thinking that it would be the perfect concealer. Alas, it does not work at all for me. It settles into lines and wrinkles and makes me look a lot older than I actually am. I found though, that just a little goes a long way and minimizes the settling, but it still settles there. I sometimes try to dilute it with a bit of undereye cream which helps a little. A little less coverage, sheer, but it's better then the concealer settling. The color is true to skin tone, which I find is probably the best trait of this concealer. But I really don't think I will buy this again. It's a little time consuming and difficult to apply.

On world stage, Olympic culture clashes inevitable
In a way it was inevitable, given the size and scope of the event that is taking place in this most multicultural of capitals.
But the Olympic-sized political gaffes and cultural goofs already registered before the games officially open Friday have proven one thing in the globalized planet of the early 21st century: Even with the best of intentions, organizing an offense-free Olympics is nearly impossible.
On Thursday, three issues rankled some Muslim activists:
-A ''Welcome to London'' street sign written in Arabic that was virtually indecipherable, with the characters written backward.
-A ruling that one of Saudi Arabia's two female athletes couldn't wear a headscarf for her judo competitions because of safety concerns.
-And an insistence that two Moroccan soccer players produce a urine sample for doping tests, even though they were fasting for Ramadan and needed more than two hours to produce it.
''The reason we won the games was because London was diverse, it's where the world is represented,'' said Mohammed Shafiq, head of the Manchester-based Ramadan Foundation, which seeks to forge understanding among Britain's different communities.
''But,'' he said, ''we're seeing decisions that are being made that will have a negative impact on the beliefs of Muslim athletes, and Muslim fans and officials.''
Already, the International Olympic Committee and Prime Minister David Cameron have apologized profusely for the most blatant mistake to date: displaying South Korea's flag rather than North Korea's on a giant screen ahead of Pyongyang's inaugural women's soccer match Wednesday night. The flap sent the North's team off the pitch for an hour in protest.
On Thursday, two other geopolitical gaffes surfaced: Welsh soccer player Joe Allen was listed as English in the official program, and some athletes who were born in then-Soviet Ukraine were listed as having been born in the ''Ukraine region'' of Russia. Others were listed as coming from the Ukrainian cities of Lutsk and Lviv, which were described in the program as Russian. Similar mistakes were made for Georgia-born athletes.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Konstantin Grishchenko said Kiev's embassy in London had complained to the IOC and requested corrections.
''The word `region' is obviously excessive,'' he tweeted, referring to the centuries of Russian dominance that ended when Ukraine gained its independence in 1991. ''It's an incompetent mistake even from the point of view of English grammar.''
London organizing spokeswoman Joanne Manning-Cooper acknowledged the mistakes but tried to put them in context.
''We've got 200 competing nations from all over the world, a multitude of religions,'' she said. ''Over the past seven years we've worked hard to make sure this really is everyone's games, no matter where you're from or what your beliefs.''
Part of that involved creating a committee of representatives of different faiths to ensure no one would feel excluded by the games. But given the vast numbers of people and events involved - 650 sporting events, nearly 10,000 athletes over 17 days - mistakes are bound to happen.
''If we make mistakes, we fix them immediately and aim to ensure they never happen again,'' she said.
For Saudi Arabia's Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani, it's not so much a mistake as a safety ruling that could jeopardize her participation in the games.
On Thursday, the International Judo Federation ruled she couldn't wear a headscarf during competition because of safety concerns given the strangleholds and chokeholds that are often used.
Shahrkhani is one of the first two Saudi women allowed to participate in the Olympics; the other, Sarah Attar is expected to wear a headscarf when she competes in distance running.
Asian judo federations have previously allowed Muslim women to wear the hijab during major competitions, but the IJF decided against it this time around.
''Someone wearing a headscarf could put their opponent at a disadvantage if the headscarf gets in the way and you're not able to grip properly,'' said Szandra Szogedi, a Hungarian fighter who just missed out on the Olympics and is helping the Hungarian team during the games.
Judo fighters typically struggle to get a grip on each other's uniform and frequently reach behind their opponent's head to get a dominant position on the base of their neck.
''But on the other hand, the headscarf could be dangerous for the woman wearing it, because if I try to strangle you and somehow pull your scarf around into a more dangerous position,'' she said.
Shafiq, of the Ramadan Foundation, said allowances should be made particularly for people of different faiths.
''It's not about political correctness,'' he said. ''It's about being aware of the sensitivities around this, and positively embracing the diversity.''
Maria Cheng in London and Jim Heintz in Moscow contributed to this report.

Scapegoating a Filipino American TV Producer
SAN FRANCISCO – Few Filipino Americans, or Asian Americans for that matter, are as deeply respected or as highly regarded in the field of television journalism as Lloyd LaCuesta, who retired last year after working at Oakland TV station KTVU for 35 years. Lloyd, currently a journalism professor at San Jose State University, was the founder and first president of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) and also the first president of Unity Journalists of Color. In the course of his distinguished career, he won six Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Last week, Lloyd and I were interviewed by Balitang America TV reporter Henni Espinosa about the recent firing of Cristina Gastelu by KTVU for her alleged involvement in KTVU's embarrassing airing of the fake names of Asiana Airlines pilots in its July 12 noontime news hour by anchor Tori Campbell.
Lloyd told Henni that he has known Cristina for years, even before she was hired by KTVU in 1999, and that he has always had great respect for her as a professional journalist. He said that he was shocked to learn that she and two other staffers were blamed by KTVU for the Asiana fake names fiasco. When Lloyd spoke with her after she was fired, she told him that her first thought was that her father would be greatly disappointed in her as he was always so proud of her achievements, especially for winning an Emmy award as a producer.
WATCH: Filipino leaders call Fil-Am news producer's firing unfair
"She is very, very upset about what happened. She's taken it to heart," Lloyd told Henni. "I hope it will not follow her. I hope she's able to get another job in this business, because she's a very valuable journalist."
Cristina was also concerned about the deteriorating health of her mother, Tessie, a Registered Nurse from Zamboanga, who is suffering from brain cancer. This health condition was disclosed by noted lawyer and columnist Ted Laguatan who introduced Cristina's parents to each other when they were all living in Chicago. After he set them up for a date, "the rest is history".
On his own, Lloyd investigated the incident that led to the firing of Cristina and two other KTVU staffers and he concluded that no one should have been fired for that unfortunate incident.
In his letter to KTVU General Manager Tom Raponi, Lloyd wrote: "It does point out that we all need to work harder at the craft of journalism and educating ourselves to sensitivities."
Former KTVU political editor Randy Shandobil expressed disappointment in the decision of KTVU to fire the three staffers. He told the San Francisco Chronicle: "People are overtaxed and have more responsibility sometimes than they can handle. And sometimes, in situations like this, terrible mistakes happen that are bigger than one person. It's systemic."
Finding scapegoats is one thing but being racially selective in doing so is another matter altogether. Bay Area media blogger Rich Lieberman cited a reliable source who reported that KTVU did not fire Michelle Toy, a Chinese American, who as KTVU's Managing Editor, had authorized the airing of the offensive names, because "KTVU didn't want to offend the Asian Community. They were worried about a backlash."
How clueless can KTVU be? It was clueless when it fell for the Internet hoax and broadcast the fake names of the Asiana pilots ("Sum Ting Wong", "Wi Tu Low", "Ho Lee Fuk"). As Lloyd explained in his letter to Raponi "Common sense indicates that simply sounding out the names would have raised red flags."
But KTVU is clueless again in firing Cristina but sparing Michelle Toy so as not offend Asians. Does KTVU not realize that Filipinos are also Asians?
The National Federation of Filipino-American Associations (NaFFAA) is scheduled to hold a summit in Las Vegas this week and a resolution will be presented there to condemn KTVU for firing Cristina Gastelu and to demand that KTVU rehire her immediately.
The NaFFAA resolution will also encourage KTVU "to repair its credibility and relationship with the Bay Area Filipino American community by meeting regularly with NaFFAA and working with NaFFAA to develop a pipeline of talented Filipino American journalists who could add to the station's diversity."
Shame on KTVU.

Mysteryland returned to Bethel Woods, NY over Memorial Day Weekend for it's second annual USA installment. Last year's rainy weather and excessive mud put a damper on some people's first visit to the three-day electronic festival, however you wouldn't have known based on the lively, ambitious audience who showed up in full force to watch artists like Porter Robinson, Empire of the Sun, Dillon Francis and Diplo on the original Woodstock grounds. The attendees more than tripled with 50,000 people in attendance throughout the weekend. Holy Ground camping was also sold out this year at 10,000 people, which was a much larger number actually staying on the premises than last year. This year rain was exchanged for extreme cold (32 degrees on Friday night with a wind chill on the hill that dipped much lower), but this didn't seem to discourage folks from committing to the party. In fact, I'd say they came out even harder. (But for real, who else froze their ass off that night? That was some next level Discovery Channel I Shouldn't be Alive shit.)

Pune: Here's a reason for the students of College of Engineering, Pune (CoEP) to celebrate, as their premier institute has been ranked 14th in country's 108 best technical colleges in a survey.
The survey was done by DATAQUEST, a leading magazine focused on information technology.
Out of 300 colleges which were surveyed by the magazine, 108 institutes have been selected as the best technical institutes in India. The CoEP has maintained its position, as in last year's survey also it stood 14th.
The team from DATAQUEST who carried out the survey, evaluated the colleges on different parameters including placements, infrastructure, academic environment and industry interface. "While evaluating the placement parameter, percentage of the students placed in all the companies, number of companies visiting campus for hiring, maximum salary per annum and other placement related information was considered," said Anil Sahastrabuddhe, the director of CoEP.
He said that since the placement scenario of the CoEP is always good, the institute had upper hand in this parameter. In the college infrastructure parameter, the team from DATAQUEST inspected the availability of computers to students, internet facility in college as well as in hostel and digitisation of library.
"In the academic section, since we have a very good teacher/student ratio, we have permanent faculties, number of patents obtained by the institutes are good and a very good record in research papers, we scored on these parameter as well," Sahastrabuddhe said.
The recruiters from various firms, which had come for hiring were also included in the survey and their experiences of these colleges were taken into consideration. Recruiters were asked to rate importance of various aspects while deciding which college to visit for campus recruitments on a 5-point scale. The other 13 institutes which had edge over CoEP, included the IITs, Birla Institute of technology and Science, Pilani, Netaji Subhash Institue of technology, National Institute of Technology, Karnataka, Dhirubai Ambani Institute of Information Communication technology, NIT, Rourkela and Birla Institute of technology.

text: FCC chairman gets heckled by smart meter protesters (video) April 14, 2011 8:16 PM Dean Takahashi 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. Julius Genachowski, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, got heckled by smart meter protesters today as he was giving a talk in Silicon Valley. Genachowski was answering questions from Fortune writer Adam Lashinsky about the pending AT&T merger with T-Mobile when a few protesters walked up and shouted at the FCC chairman. They were upset about the installation of smart meters using wireless spectrum as well as the government's failure to fully investigate whether cell phone emissions are harmful to people. A video of the incident follows below. Genachowski kept his cool, and he later answered more questions on the topic, repeating his standard answer that the matter has been investigated and the FCC's standards are adequate. Clearly, however, this question of whether wireless emissions can cause harmful effects such as cancer are a passionate topic, and some folks clearly don't believe the research that has been done on the topic. Police removed the protesters, who had gathered outside for the most part, after they disrupted the event. Genachowski (pictured in background, looking away from the camera), said the FCC believes it has adequate standards in place, based on investigations of the effects of wireless technology, that will protect citizens from any harm from wireless emissions. Calling all mobile executives: This April 25-26, VentureBeat is hosting its inaugural VentureBeat Mobile Summit, where we'll debate the five key business and policy challenges facing the mobile industry today. Participants will develop concrete, actionable solutions that will shape the future of the mobile industry. The invitation-only event, located at the scenic and relaxing Cavallo Point Resort in Sausalito, Calif., is limited to 180 mobile executives, investors and policymakers. We've pretty much finalized the invite list, but have a few spots left. Request an invitation.

Geographic Range
Western brush wallabies are endemic to Australia, with the current range confined to the southwestern coastal region of Western Australia. (Turner, 2004)
- Biogeographic Regions
- australian
Preferred habitat for Macropus irma is open forest or woodlands with seasonally wet sites and low vegetation. This species is often found in dry schlerophyll forests, such as jarrah, and areas of mallee and heathland scrub. It is rarely found in wet schlerophyll forests and is not found in ecosystems characterized by a thick understory, such as karri forests. (Strahan, 1995; Turner, 2004)

Physical Description
Western brush wallabies are gray with slight brown variation in color on the neck and back. The alternative common name, black-gloved wallabies, is derived from the black coloring on the fore- and hind limbs. The most distinctive features of western brush wallabies, and those that are most useful for distinguishing it from western grey kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus), are facial characters. They have two unique white stripes that extend from each of the ears to the end of the rostrum. The pinnae are also black on the exterior and a slightly lighter white or buff color in the interior. The chest is gray, the ventral portion of the abdomen is buff, and the tail has a black crest at its most distal end. Some individuals also have a faint black banded patterning on their dorsal side. Western brush wallabies can further be distinguished from the western grey kangaroos by their smaller size, significantly shorter forelimbs, and distinct gait: they move quickly with the head kept low and the tail extended rather than in an upright posture.
The second largest native mammal in southwest Western Australia, individuals range from 7 to 9 kg and have been reported up to 1530 mm in length. The tail comprises a large portion of this measurement and is between 540 and 970 mm long. Not including the tail, the head and body measurement ranges from 450 to 525 mm. Although size varies within the species, there is no significant observable sexual dimorphism.
As with other macropodids, the hind limbs of western brush wallabies are adapted to fast, powerful, hopping locomotion. The hind foot is slender and lacks a hallux. The second and third digits are fused to form a syndactylous digit, and the fourth digit is elongated and robust. The fourth digit bears the bulk of the energy transferred from the leg to the ground during hopping. Macropodids tend to exhibit a secondary form of slow 'pentapedal' locomotion, whereby the tail is used in conjunction with the forelimbs to support the weight of the body while the hind legs are swung forward.
Basal metabolic rate of Macropus irma is unknown, but marsupials in general tend to have lower basal metabolic rates than eutherian mammals. Some authors have suggested that this is correlated with saltatorial locomotion, which requires less energy than other forms of sustained locomotion. ("Current Projects", 2012; Dawson, 1974; Menkhorst and Knight, 2004; Strahan, 1995; Turner, 2004)

The mating system of western brush wallabies is not well documented. However, Tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii) are morphologically similar, have a partially overlapping range, are closely related, and have been more extensively studied. Macropus eugenii has a polygynous mating system with clear male dominance hierarchies. Reproductive success is closely correlated with physical size and presumably with success in agonistic interactions. The majority of first copulations with females are achieved by alpha males, with the majority of the offspring also sired by the alpha males that secure the first copulation. Females usually mate with more than one male and subsequent copulations have been observed with males other than the alpha. Tammar wallabies also engage in a variety of behaviors to enhance reproductive success and secure mates. Males mate-guard pre- and post-copulation, check females, and intervene in consortships developing between a female and another male. Alpha males tend to engage in all of these sexual behaviors with greater frequency than lower-ranking males, making social stratification in Macropus eugenii distinct. Males of several macropodid species also make a clucking sound when courting females to attract a mate.
It is, however, important to note that there are distinguishing features between Macropus eugenii and Macropus irma that may have implications for how closely the western brush wallaby mating system resembles that of Tammar wallabies. For instance, Macropus eugenii is sexually dimorphic, common in polygynous species, but Macropus irma does not exhibit sexual dimorphism. (Coulson and Eldridge, 2010; Menkhorst and Knight, 2004)
There is little information available in the literature on reproduction in western brush wallabies. Females give birth to a single offspring usually in April or May. The newborn then spends up to 7 months in the pouch attached to one of the mother's 4 teats, after which point it leaves the pouch to suckle occasionally while it accompanies the mother on foot. Embryonic diapause, a period during which hormonal signals delay embryonic development, is common among macropodids and has been noted in Macropus irma. In other closely related seasonal breeders such as Tammar wallabies, females enter post-partum oestrus after giving birth and mate shortly thereafter. The fertilized ovum resulting from this copulation enters embryonic diapause at the blastocyst stage and reenters active embryonic development once the pouch young vacates. The age of sexual maturity is not well known in western brush wallabies, but Macropus eugenii females and males are sexually mature at 8 months and 24 months, respectively. (Coulson and Eldridge, 2010; Nowak, 1999; Strahan, 1995; Turner, 2004)

Western brush wallabies give birth to a single offspring. The female then spends a 7 month period carrying the newborn in her pouch and continues to suckle even after it vacates. Furthermore, a female cannot gestate another fertilized egg until after her current suckling offspring is weaned, meaning that she is fully invested in one offspring at a time both physiologically and behaviorally. The reproductive life of Macropus irma has not been formally observed and recorded, but characteristic features of closely related species, such as the polygynous mating system of Macropus eugenii and the tendency for Macropus eugenii males to copulate with multiple females in succession, suggests that parental investment may be almost exclusively maternal for western brush wallabies (Coulson and Eldridge, 2010; Strahan, 1995)

The lifespan of Macropus irma has not been widely documented in wild populations or in captivity, and Macropus irma has historically been uncommon in reserves. The closely related Macropus eugenii, however, lives to be about 11 years old, a fairly common age range for most mid-sized macropodids. (Kitchener, et al., 1980; Turner, 2004)
Western brush wallabies are well adapted to saltatorial locomotion and are terricolous. They are active primarily in the early hours of the morning and in the late afternoon, and tend to rest alone or in pairs in the shade during the hottest hours of the day. Their general activity cycle appears to be more diurnal than that of other wallabies in their geographic vicinity. Very little is known about Macropus irma social structure. (Strahan, 1995; Turner, 2004)
- Key Behaviors
- terricolous
- saltatorial
- diurnal
- crepuscular
- motile
- sedentary
- solitary
- social
Home Range
The home range of this species is not known.
Communication and Perception
Wallabies in general often communicate with hoarse growls and cough-like vocalizations, particularly to communicate aggression. It has been noted that several wallabies also express alarm by stamping their feet on the ground. Soft clucking is common in males attempting to attract mates and for females interacting with their young. The use of pheromones to check females as they approach estrus has also been observed in Macropus eugenii. Western brush wallabies have not been well studied, so specific information is currently unavailable. (Coulson and Eldridge, 2010; Menkhorst and Knight, 2004)
- Other Communication Modes
- pheromones
Food Habits
Little detailed information has been documented about the diet of Macropus irma, but individuals appear to prefer native grasses and can survive without access to free water for extended periods of time. Wallaby stomachs are divided into four chambers and their ability to ferment and extract nutrients from high-fiber food sources, such as grasses, makes them successful herbivores. Western brush wallabies generally graze for sustenance in open areas. (Strahan, 1995; Turner, 2004)
- Plant Foods
- leaves
The two primary predators of Macropus irma are introduced red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and humans (Homo sapiens. Native predators of young may include large snakes and monitor lizards. (Morris, et al., 2008)
- Known Predators
- red foxes (Vulpes vulpes)
- humans (Homo sapiens)
Ecosystem Roles
Western brush wallabies are preyed on by red foxes and may influence vegetation through their herbivory. Marsupial mammals are vulnerable to mycobacterial infections and Mycobacterium avium has been noted as a significant disease risk for Macropus irma, particularly among captive populations. (Buddle and Young, 2000; Morris, et al., 2008)
- Mycobacterium avium
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
In the early stages of European settlement, Macropus irma was traded in large numbers for fur. Records indicate annual individual sales as high as 122,000 in 1923. (Morris, et al., 2008)
- Positive Impacts
- body parts are source of valuable material
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of Macropus irma on humans.
Conservation Status
After successful fox baiting programs instated to elevate population count after the 1970's, Macropus irma has been classified as a species of Least Concern. It has a large, stable population and a relatively wide distribution, including multiple protected areas. (Morris, et al., 2008)
- IUCN Red List
- Least Concern
- US Federal List
- No special status
- No special status
Other Comments
The conservation status of Macropus irma has been particularly affected by the arrival of Europeans and the population dynamics of predator species. Western brush wallabies have been central in an ongoing debate among conservation biologists about the definition of a Critical Weight Range (CWR). It has been the reigning consensus that non-flying, mid-sized Australian mammals have been most affected by European settlement. Traditionally, the Critical Weight Range species were considered those with mean adult body weights of 35 to 5,500 grams. However, reevaluation of the effect of colonization on populations of western brush wallabies has prompted a push to extend this range to 8,000 grams.
Populations of Macropus irma were heavily affected by a substantial increase in the size of fox populations in 1973 and 1974. In two surveys done in 1970 and 1990, researchers observed that, while the population size of western grey kangaroos remained stable, those of Western brush wallabies decreased by approximately 80 %. Other studies reported a population density decrease during the same period from 10 per 100 kilometers to 1 per 100 kilometers. Although land clearance for agricultural purposes has also caused the population to disperse and limited its range, the overall number of individuals has increased in recent years. Population increases have been documented and Macropus irma, among other endangered native animals, seems to be responding well to fox baiting programs.

- embryonic diapause
At about the time a female gives birth (e.g. in most kangaroo species), she also becomes receptive and mates. Embryos produced at this mating develop only as far as a hollow ball of cells (the blastocyst) and then become quiescent, entering a state of suspended animation or embryonic diapause. The hormonal signal (prolactin) which blocks further development of the blastocyst is produced in response to the sucking stimulus from the young in the pouch. When sucking decreases as the young begins to eat other food and to leave the pouch, or if the young is lost from the pouch, the quiescent blastocyst resumes development, the embryo is born, and the cycle begins again. (Macdonald 1984)

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
My own take on me. I love being outdoors, on or near water, farming, raising animals, honeybees, smoking meats and cheeses, canning and food preservation. I work hard to make money but life is full of great ways to spend it. I have a degree in Culinary Arts and I am Pastor of the Christian faith for preforming death, birth and marriages. Both of which are hobbies. Did I mention I have lots of hobbies. I drive school buses and cut timber for money and Im damn good at it. I hate closed minded people. Being me I am stuck on a farm that sould be in some other state than Md. but here i am and here i stay. I have to pay my fines for running my mouth and disagreeing with the man but thats half the fun.

Friday, August 19, 2005 - The U.S. Department of Transportations Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) announced today that a $665,000 federal grant has been awarded to the University of Washingtons Transportation Northwest to apply research and the latest technologies to improve transportation operations and planning.
Transportation Northwest (TransNow) is part of the national University Transportation Centers (UTC) program, which is administered by RITA. RITA is dedicated to coordinating the Departments research and development programs and advancing innovative technology solutions to the challenges facing Americas transportation system. Grant recipients are required to provide matching funds.
UTC programs attract talented researchers and students today to engage them in creating the transportation system of tomorrow, said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta. This grant demonstrates the importance of research and technology to the Departments mission of making sure that transportation continues to be an engine of economic growth for the United States well into the 21st century.
TransNow coordinates a network of transportation research and educational programs in the Pacific Northwest that includes the University of Washington, Portland State University, Oregon State University, Washington State University, the University of Idaho, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The geographic area served by these schools is a microcosm of transportation throughout the United States, with a diversity of modes, infrastructure systems, and area types, making it a prime testing ground for transportation operations and planning research. More information about TransNow can be found at http://www.transnow.org.
More than 75 colleges and universities throughout the United States participate in the UTC program conducting transportation research, education and technology transfer. Last year, UTC colleges and universities graduated over 1,100 students with advanced transportation-related degrees, offered almost 2,000 undergraduate and graduate transportation courses, conducted 300 research projects, and trained 32,000 practicing transportation professionals.
More information about the UTC program can be found at www.rita.dot.gov.

1. Find someone skilled to do the sea trial with you.
I hired someone who turned out to not live up to their resume. This has resulted in a few unexpected surprises that I found on my 6-week shakedown cruise.
Best of luck,
See, this just pisses me off about surveyors. The whole purpose of hiring one, is so that you have an "expert" to find things that you, the "amatuer" would not find.
So you pay for an expert, and end up finding a bunch of system failures that he missed, that are blatanly obvious to you, the amatuer. I'm sure the same thing happens with so-called "home inspectors" when you buy a home, but still...
My recent purchase budget was only $4,000-$9000 so I did a bunch of research on Pearsons, research on general sailboat systems, Atomic-4's, various diesel engines, seacocks, through-hulls etc, and went shopping.
When I would find a likely candidate, I'd bring even more experienced friends with me to check it out to make sure I wasn't looking at the boat emotionally, with "rose tinted glasses".
This worked well, and I've had no surprises. If I was spending more, or looking at more complex boats, I definitely would have hired a surveyor and done sea trials, but I would have shopped several different surveyors, and asked for a lot of references to make sure I got a good one instead of a shyster.

Effective Lighting
Under these circumstances, ask the child (through an interpreter or with hand gestures) if he or she will move into the shade of a tree or building. This takes care of the problem. If you have a diffusion panel, it can be held above the child to soften the sunlight, enabling you to shoot in the open. The only problem is that large, unfamiliar objects might frighten small children and dissuade them from posing naturally. It's important to remember that from their point of view, we are strange looking people with mysterious looking gadgets. Kids in tribal villages in remote parts of the world are entertained by our antics, but if we aren't sensitive to their unworldliness, it is easy to make them feel uncomfortable or fearful.
The second type of natural light that can be used effectively is low angled sunlight. Early morning and late afternoon light, when the sun is close to the horizon, provides flattering, golden illumination that can be effective for either front, back or side lighting.
Lens Choice
Once in a while I use a wide angle lens for portraits of children. It's a unique approach and gives a very different kind of stylistic look. If I sense that the child being photographed feels comfortable with me, I will move in very close and take a full frame portrait with one of the wide angles. In these instances, it's important to be aware of the background, because wide angles have a great deal of depth of field and the elements behind my young subject are definable and therefore must contribute to the composition. By contrast, a telephoto will simply render the background out of focus.
About Author / Instructor / Photographer, Jim Zuckerman
In 1970, I decided to abort my intended career as a doctor in favor of photography and have never regretted it. Photography has enriched my life more than I can tell you. My career has taken me to over 60 countries, and I've seen and photographed wondrous things.
For 25 years, I shot a medium format camera, specifically the Mamiya RZ 67, for its superior quality. When I would lecture, Id project the large, glass mounted transparencies, and it was really an incredible experience to see the brilliant color saturation and resolution of these slides. However, I went digital in 2004 because the technology finally equaled or surpassed medium format. I now shoot the Canon 1Ds Mark II digital camera with a variety of lenses.
I am the author of 12 books on photography. My work is sold in 30 countries around the world, and my images have appeared on scores of magazine and book covers, calendars, posters, national ads, trade ads, brochures, and corporate promotions.
For many years I've led photography tours to exotic places. These include Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Burma, Greece, The Czech Republic and Slovakia, Spain, Morocco, and Peru.

About 12,000 customers across the United States are now dealing with the effect of a processing error on the part of a credit card company. Jerry Moyeof San Antonio is one of those people.
Moye was woken up Monday morning by his wife's panicked voice. She had just learned both their checking and savings accounts had been wiped out, and they were now facing overdraft charges on top of that.
Moye began looking into it. He discovered the problem was with his StateFarm Visa credit card. He had made a $9 charge on the card on Friday. But it was processed as a payment to the company for $20,101.
Moye thinks someone must have meant to enter the year 2010, and instead entereda payment amount of $20,101.
State farm says they have 900,000 Visa credit card customers, and the mistakeimpacted about 1% of them. That 1% equals about 12,000 customers.
A phone call on Monday to the State Farm Visa credit card customer service number was met with this message: State Farm bank is currently experiencing higher than normal call volumes due to a processing issue impacting State Farm bank visa credit card customers.
Representative Ryan Guana told KENS 5, It was a processing error on the part of the vendor (which is Visa). We discovered the error... We're sorry this did occur. We're taking every step to resolve this as quickly as possible.
State Farm says all customers should have all their money back in their accounts by Tuesday evening.
But Moye fears he's about to face compiling overdraft charges from all that time there was no money in his account. He says, I've got checks out. I've got auto debits out that will happen, and I'm worried I'm going to have all these extra charges that will hit me now.
He wonders why it was so easy to make such a big processing error. He asked, How can one person do something like that to mess up so many people?Before you hit enter, you need to know what you're hitting enter to.
Anyone with concerns should call 877-734-8472.

Supreme Court to consider Ten Commandments vs. 'Seven Aphorisms'

Supreme Court to consider Ten Commandments vs. 'Seven Aphorisms'
Must a city park that displays one monument also permit others'?
By David G. Savage
WASHINGTON -- If a city allows a monument with the Ten Commandments to be erected in a public park, must it also allow other religions and groups to display monuments of their choosing? The Supreme Court agreed Monday to take up that question in an unusual dispute over the reach of the 1st Amendment and freedom of speech.
In the past, the court has said the free-speech rule applies in parks and officials may not discriminate against speakers or groups because of their message. In this context, freedom of speech means a freedom from government restrictions.
But last year, the U.S. appeals court in Denver extended this free-speech rule to cover the monuments, statues and displays in a public park. It ruled in favor of a religious group called Summum, which says it wants to erect its "Seven Aphorisms of Summum" next to the Ten Commandments in Pioneer Park in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
Its ruling left the city with an all-or-nothing choice: Allow Summum and others to erect their own displays in the park, or remove the other monuments.
The city's lawyers called the appeals court ruling "confused" and "flawed" and said it could cause problems around the nation.
"We're delighted that the Supreme Court agreed to take this critical case," said a statement by Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and Justice, which filed an appeal for Pleasant Grove.
He continued: "The lower court ruling -- if left unchecked -- would ultimately force local governments to remove long-standing and well-established patriotic, religious and historical displays."
Sekulow argued that monuments are the property of the city and are not akin to private free speech.
But the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of the liberal Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said Pleasant Grove invited problems by allowing the Ten Commandments monument. "If government creates an open forum, it can't pick and choose among religions," Lynn said in a statement.
When the Supreme Court has taken up the Ten Commandments in the past, it has done so to decide whether a city or state display violates the 1st Amendment's bar against "an establishment of religion."
In 2005, the court issued split decisions.
It upheld a 4-decade-old granite monument displaying the Ten Commandments that sat among other statues and monuments on the grounds of the Texas Capitol. However, in a separate ruling on the same day, it struck down a move by county officials in Kentucky to display the commandments in courthouses.
The court will hear Pleasant Grove City vs. Summum in the fall.

Bahrain: 'My Father is Dying'
This is the thought constantly running through my head.
As a human rights defender I have learned to numb my emotions and continue working. I have been working on covering human rights violations in Bahrain for more than two years now, documenting all the arbitrary arrests, systematic torture, rapes, kidnappings, extra-judicial killings; the list goes on.
At 24 years old I've come to learn how the world quantifies the value of a life. In Bahrain, the livelihood of an entire nation is not worth the value of one barrel of oil sold to the west by Saudi Arabia. Politics and geopolitical interests are what decide whether a people can live with dignity or if they are viewed as sub-human.p
This politicization of the human condition is not only present in the policies of nation states, but in the international mechanisms supposedly set up to protect human rights. The so-called Arab spring proved, once again, that we are still living in an age where the UN Human Rights Council has little agency to act on its own accord. It, like all other agencies must bow to the powers that be.p
Faced with the enormous obstacle that is geopolitics, it has become increasingly more difficult for me to remain hopeful and motivated. It is difficult to remain impartial and refuse to take up personal cases of my family members who have been imprisoned and tortured.
I constantly fear the phone call bearing the message that I will never see my father again. I cannot imagine a life without my father, and I cannot come to terms with a world that would allow my father to die.
Today, April 5th, is my fathers birthday. Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, the man who dedicated himself to fighting for human rights, who trained tens of other activists, is known as the Godfather of human rights in Bahrain. My father, who was beaten unconscious in front of his family, arrested, then severely tortured for months. My father, sentenced to life imprisonment in a military court. My father, on his 57th day of hunger strike as his only way of protesting the daily human rights violations of the Bahraini regime against the people of Bahrain.
My father, Abdulhadi Alkhawaja is dying to live. Literally.
This is what propels my activism. This is why I will continue to fight.

Will Michael Vick get the real 60 Minutes treatment?
Michael Vick, as you probably know, was once the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. He was on the cover of magazines and was considered an unstoppable force on the field. Off the field, however, he was running an illegal dog-fighting business. He spent most of the last two years either in court or in prison for his involvement in a syndicate that promoted gambling and killed dogs.
Is Mike Wallace really all done with TV?
According to Wallace's son, Chris, host of Fox News Sunday, the heart "is working fine," but he added that his 90 year old father is done with TV. Does CBS know that for sure? I mean, will there be no future Mike Wallace interviews or special interviews? He retired from 60 Minutes in 2006, but remains with the network as Correspondent Emeritus. Chris made it sound like there will be no more TV ever for Mike Wallace.
He also said of his father, "He's doing really well," having spent time with him while he was in New York at Fox's studios to report on the presidential primaries.
Chris Wallace doesn't want Katie Couric's job
"As much as I grew up in CBS and as much as I associate that anchor chair with Walter Cronkite and the history of broadcasting, I have never been so happy as I have working the last four-plus years at Fox. I suspect I've had a much better last couple of years than Katie Couric."
Mike Wallace receives triple bypass
Mike Wallace, the semi-retired 60 Minutes correspondent, underwent triple-bypass heart surgery over the weekend at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan.
The 89-year-old Wallace, the oldest of the 60 Minutes correspondents, is recovering nicely, according to a CBS News spokesperson. The spokesperson added that the Correspondent Emeritus was already taking his first steps just two days after undergoing the procedure. Man, this guy is tough! It is unknown at this time if the surgery was planned or done after a checkup revealed an issue.
Family Guy: Meet The Quagmires
(S05E18) And so ends a short, inconsistent, Family Guy season. I don't know if we should chalk it up to Seth MacFarlane being spread too thin with American Dad and The Winner to watch over, or just the show coming up on 100 episodes. Something just wasn't quite right at Family Guy HQ this season though.
Mike Wallace isn't done yet; lands interview with Iranian president
Well, it looks like he was right about everything except the flying part; on Tuesday, Wallace went to Tehran to interview Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which will be broadcast on the venerable newsmagazine this Sunday. This interview is one of the few that Ahmadinejad has granted to a Western journalist, and, as one would expect, he criticizes President Bush and his administration's dealings with the country, among other topics. It seems like evil despots like to talk to Mike, since he's spoken to Saddam Hussein and the Ayatollah Khomeini in the past.

Mike Wallace in the hot seat on 60 Minutes
The retrospective, called I'm Mike Wallace, airs Sunday at 7 pm on CBS. It also includes clips of some of his most memorable interviews.
Is NBC wooing Mike Wallace?
So here's today's interesting item: NBC is supposedly offering the now-retired Mike Wallace the opportunity to do "a bit of everything" at the network. Even though Wallace's rep denies the report, the Page Sixers speculate that it'll take a lot to get the 88 year-old to move, since he's very loyal to his longtime employers. Take the rumor for what it's worth, and discuss...

Some of you said there was no problem with Vieira's credibility; others said it should be one or the other.
Well, folks, lovely Meredith is not the first person to do double-duty as both a game show host and a news personality. As Joel stated in his post, Joe Garagiola hosted and was a panelist on a number of game shows while on Today. However, he is a recent example. Truth be known, during the early days of television news people regularly double-dipped between one format and another without a complaint.
