eBay surfers get an Amazon splash

The Web's largest auctioneer is revamping page designs, overhauling search functions and launching new services that bear a strong resemblance to features that work well at Amazon, the Internet's biggest retailer. To be sure, this is no casual face-lift for eBay.
For more than 10 years, eBay, with its fat margins and zealous user base, has been the dominant force in the battle between the two e-commerce superpowers. Currently, however, the momentum appears to be with Amazon.
Wall Street has rewarded Amazon for its ease of use, growing selection, low prices and success at persuading greater numbers of merchants to sell goods on its site. By comparison, some say eBay looks frumpy, with its helter-skelter search results and cluttered product pages. Sure, eBay has seen sharp growth from two significant units--payment service PayPal and Internet telephone service Skype--but investors are showing signs of wariness that Amazon may be eating into eBay's market share.
"E-commerce is growing at 20 percent," said Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor, which sells e-commerce software tools to small and medium-size businesses. "Amazon is growing at 30 percent. What everyone wants to know is why eBay is failing to keep pace with e-commerce?"
Here are the metrics that disturb most eBay watchers. Growth in gross merchandise volume (GMV), a marquee metric in measuring eBay's health, is slowing, while listings are in decline. For the quarter that ended June 30, eBay reported worldwide listings fell 6 percent and GMV grew 12 percent to $14.46 billion, compared with growth of 18 percent in the same period a year earlier.
The company has tried to explain that listings no longer have the same relevance as the company has diversified.
"What we said about the second quarter was that we were really pleased with our growth," said Hani Durzy, eBay's spokesman. "The second quarter was a good one."
The company saw profits for that quarter shoot up 50 percent to $375 million, and revenue increased 30 percent. Nonetheless, eBay's message has been met with mostly skepticism.
Amazon's shares as of Friday afternoon were trading at around $78, while eBay was at around $34. Since March, Amazon's share price has risen 50 percent, while eBay's has risen 13 percent. Wall Street is convinced that the buying experience at eBay is broken, and the message to CEO Meg Whitman is clear: fix the bread-and-butter part of your business.
And that's likely why visitors to eBay have seen a new, less-cluttered home page recently and a service that allows buyers to bid on several items at the same time. Another feature lets consumers track eBay auctions while logged in at other Web sites.
Meanwhile, eBay's engineers continue to tinker. The company has quietly tested new product pages, search features and product displays with a look and feel that is unmistakably Amazon.
For example, eBay is experimenting with a new, smarter search. Key the words "Nikon D40" into eBay's traditional search, for instance, and the results page shows an 18-55mm lens at the top, followed by three cameras, another lens, a reversing ring for the lens and later a camera bag.
But earlier this week, a search for the Nikon D40 returned a page with two photos of different models of the camera. (The search pages aren't showing currently, since they're only now being tested.) The pictures were much larger than the thumbnails typically found in eBay's results. Below the photos were ratings of the cameras, links to customer reviews, and the range of prices.
Wingo said that eBay's search retrieves scads of items that are only peripherally related to a product, and that the company is working on narrowing its searches.
Someone entering "Nikon D40" into a search field is likely looking for the camera and not a lens cap, according to Wingo.
"They are trying to parse their findings," Wingo said. "When someone punches in 'Nike, blue, size 10,' the search will know that Nike is a brand, blue is a color and 10 is a size. This will lead to a much cleaner result."
Product pages could see big changes. Soon, eBay will offer customers photos to enable them to see a product from multiple angles, something it does not do now.
Further down the page are tabs labeled Overview, Listings, Reviews--similar to what Amazon shows on a Nikon search: a single large photo is posted to the page and underneath are images of the camera from different angles.
This is followed by technical and product details and descriptions, as well as a listing of products that other customers have bought after purchasing the camera.
"These features have existed on the site, but never in an aggregated or simple way to find," Wingo said. "This is a much more Amazon way of buying."
Sean Ditterle agrees. After reviewing some of eBay's tests, the auditor from San Francisco who looks for deals on eBay about four times a week, welcomed the upgrades.
"The search takes you to where you want to go quicker," said Ditterle, 25.
eBay is after what Amazon has succeeded in doing for years now: SKU authority. SKU stands for stock-keeping unit, a numbered system that retailers have used for decades to keep track of inventory.
Amazon has done a good job of cataloging the goods it sells, Wingo said. But eBay faces a much harder challenge in this regard, according to Durzy.
"The technical challenge that we face to help people find things is we have a much larger offering," Durzy said. "At any given time there are 100 million items on eBay. There are a lot of things that you can't find anywhere else and there's not a catalog or SKUs offered by our customers. The product names are whatever millions of people want to call them."
Durzy denied that eBay used Amazon's design as a model for its redesign. Presumably, investors won't care where eBay got the inspiration. They just want the features to work.
Said Durzy: "The most important thing for us is to focus on improving the buyer experience and increase engagement on the site, encourage return visits and help them find the things they are look for...all this is paramount for us."

- eBay's Touchy Feely Recipe For Failure
- eBay got it's start catering to the online fleamarket refugees who dialed in from their trailers for profit and a new social experience. The "touchy feely" Politically Correct mentality, coupled with their arrogance is what's responsible for their archaic UI and ongoing slike into irrelevance.
Want to sell gun parts on eBay? Sorry, momma Left Coast won't let you. Have a negative experience with fraud and can't get anything but a canned form letter answer from eBay's "support" group? Sorry, you can't talk about that in the discussion forums without being sanctioned/suspended.
eBay was a great idea. Many of us pray to god every night that someone like Best Buy, Sears, Google or even Amway comes up with a PC Free and cost-effective alternative that we can switch to.
Although we have bought and sold on eBay since 1998, I would love to see eBay completely self destruct and Meg Whitman wind up in a bread line! I sincerely hope Amazon continues to kick eBay's ASS!

- Ebay: Why not raise fees... again!
- Ebay customers have seen little value added for the constant increase in fees. Customers are looking elsewhere to sell. Many items on ebay are new items. These can usually be found elsewhere on the internet cheaper than ebay.

- wonder why? eBay prices are no longer best
- I used to use eBay a lot- in the early days it was largley a P2P buy/sell and someone whom needed to get rid of something would give it up for less than what a google search or shop-bot would uncover- for that you had to risk the occassional fruad or 14 year old trying for easy money, but was usually worth it.
Then, the surplus discounters moved in and there were lost of new/wholesale deals, some where good deals, some just wanted outrageous shipping charges or sent 'badly used refurb' with bad return policies. Still found worthwhile stuff.
Now, while you can still find above deals, it seems many or most items are (after shipping) ABOVE Amazon, google search or shop bot pricing, and it is mostly not worth the eBay risk of fraud, bad return policy and other unknowns to buy off eBay. In the past, sometimes a 'real godd deal' was a bit to good to believe but actually worked out or was mildly dissapointing (but still a decent deal), now any 'great deal' seems be too be a cons where they want you to pay by western union and john smith seller is someone in translvania, or the click reveals it is selling "info" on how to get something cheap- right...
Oh, and don't you love the eMail push from eBay- while others can say- come buy this special widget for x dollars and get free shipping, theres are a waste of time basically leading you to browse for one of the above auctions or -buy-it-now that has double/triple the shipping charges of an eTailer.
Bottom Line is that while I occassionally still do some eBay buying, it usually seems better and safer to go to an established 'eTailer' or CraigsList (only sometimes is that Amazon, there are plenty of other ones). (sorry eBay- thanks for starting something but bye, bye unless some of these changes can snag me back for good reason and not just to browse for more of above)

- This is a classic case of a company without serious competition.
- eBay has no serious competition. They've been abe to maximize their income based on charging as much as the market will bear, instead of having to compete with anybody.

- eBay's real problem
- eBay believes that it understands the real problem behind its decline in market shares, listings, and sales. However, this may not be the case in truth. eBay is addressing many problems that they feel lend support to scams. Unfortunately, they may be addressing symptoms and not actually addressing the problem. Today there are more scammers then ever on eBay. Why is this? eBay, states that they have taken steps to address these problems.
eBay feels by watching the sellers and blocking specific users that are selling items of suspicious origin that they are blocking scam artists. The reality, the way eBay is going about this is wrong. They have managed to block a large portion of legitimate sellers. In doing this eBay has only managed to block a small number or scammers for a little while.
The real issue here is that the scammers always find a new way on to the eBay site. Meanwhile, the legitimate sellers are left in the cold. Legitimate sellers try to follow the letters of eBay law. Sometimes, inadvertently, the seller violate encumber some bindings that eBay has set in place. Without notice, these sellers are blocked; they are not informed of what the specific violation was. In addition, they are not warned about the issue and given a chance to correct it. All said the legitimate sellers are lost, many of them power sellers. The scammers remain on eBay. A larger problem has now replaced the original problem.
Remedy - A good remedy for the problem would be to have suspicious listings removed. The seller would then be notified and given the opportunity to fix it or delete the listing. Next, increase the registration and verification process and tighten the security measures in which people gain access to the accounts. eBay should screen their employees and leaks have been rumored to be initiated from in house on passwords for unused old accounts.
Of course addressing sellers fee on eBay seems to be a trite point. This is the second largest contributor of sellers moving to other sites. eBay continues to push sellers fees, and extra options to a point that margins are slim to none. This would deter any smart business person from selling on a site were there is no realized profit.
Analysis - eBay, needs to find the real issues and address the problem, not the symptoms. eBay, needs to lower fees back to a manageable level; where sellers will sell twice as much and eBay will make much larger profits from gross volume sales and not net income sales. This is a business and eBay should treat it like one. The golden rule applies; do not alienate your customers. eBay seems to be biting the hands that feeds, while allowing the scammers to run free.

Two Big Dark Matter Experiments Gain US Support 37 37

Graculus writes: The Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation announced on Friday that they will try to fund two major experiments to detect particles of the mysterious dark matter whose gravity binds the galaxies instead of just one. The decision allays fears that the funding agencies could afford only one experiment to continue the search for so-called weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs.

"America is going through seismic changes, and we want to make sure the Post keeps up with what is going on," she said.
To complement the magazine, the Post has relaunched its website, offering new Posts each Saturday evening — naturally — with retrospective, art, blogs, health coverage and other content. Amid the Iranian protests over a disputed presidential election, the website offered retrospectives on the 1979 Iranian uprisings.
The Post also has begun a yearslong effort to digitize its historical content and offer it online.
"I think the key is keeping your hand on the pulse of what Americans are interested in," SerVaas said. "We're just trying to make sure we stay on that pulse."
America's love affair with the Post and its predecessor date to 1728, when Benjamin Franklin founded the Pennsylvania Gazette in Philadelphia. New owners changed the publication's name to The Saturday Evening Post in 1821, but it remained a newspaper for decades.
"It was a lot like a weblog now," publishing its own articles and reprinting pieces from other papers, said Jeff Nilsson, who oversees the Post archives.
By the 1870s, the content had shifted toward entertainment, with fiction on the front page. The page count began creeping up as the Post became a true magazine with more advertising, human interest features, fiction, poetry and cartoons. Over the decades, the Post has printed work from such authors as C.S. Lewis, Agatha Christie, William Saroyan, Rudyard Kipling, John Steinbeck, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Lorimer, who became editor in 1899, made the cover into an artists' showcase, featuring J.C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth and others. In 1916, the Post began a nearly 50-year relationship with Norman Rockwell, whose cover work became a hallmark of the magazine.
"It worked well on both ends," said Stephanie Plunkett, chief curator at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass. "I think he understood that the Post provided an outlet that was not really available in other places. He was able to reach a really broad audience with his art, and that's one of the reasons he became as famous as he did."
The artistic covers gave way in the 1960s to photographs of the Beatles, politicians, Klansmen and hippies. Fiction and poetry yielded to investigative reporting as the Post tried to compete with television and newsmagazines like Life and Look.
But mass-market magazines suffered as reading habits changed, more people watched television and specialty publications became popular, Husni said.
The Post ceased publication in 1969, crumpling under financial pressure the TV-print war placed on parent Curtis Publishing. SerVaas' father, Beurt, revived the magazine in 1971 as a quarterly publication after Rockwell announced on television that Beurt SerVaas was considering bringing back the Post, generating broad interest.
The magazine, now published six times a year, has been in the family since, with Joan SerVaas becoming publisher in 2007. It is now owned by a not-for-profit group set up by the SerVaas family that also owns children's magazines Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty and Turtle.
As part of its redesign, the magazine has appointed an editorial advisory board that boasts Osgood, former Reader's Digest editor-in-chief Jackie Leo and Richard F. Snow, former editor-in-chief of American Heritage magazine.
While Husni is skeptical about the magazine's future, media strategist Lou Ann Sabatier of Falls Church, Va., notes that the Post has a "brand aura" that has endured despite changes in owners and formats.
"I think there's a hunger for this," she said, referring to the Post's new perspective-driven approach. "In publishing, it's timing. I think the timing is very good for them."

The average Accounting Clerk in the United States can expect to rake in roughly $14.68 per hour. Total incomes of Accounting Clerks incorporate potential for, in a few cases, more than $2K from bonuses and close to $3K from profit sharing; these performance components cause packages to range between $24K and $43K. Earnings for this group are mostly affected by location, followed by tenure and the individual firm. Women make up the vast majority of Accounting Clerks (86 percent) who answered the questionnaire. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Accounting Clerks. Health benefits are not claimed by all — roughly one in four lack any form of coverage — but a fair number have medical insurance, and more than half have dental, too. This report is based on responses to the PayScale salary survey.

Accounting clerks generally work in offices, and travel is not required for the job. They must have exceptional knowledge of all ledger accounts, such as accounts payable/receivable, cash, and many others. These clerks may work only with accounts payable/receivable, while others may coordinate various accounts for their companies, and other duties may include working with both customers and vendors.Read More...
Candidates should have excellent customer service skills and close attention to detail in order to succeed in this position. A high school diploma or GED is generally required, and those with at least an associate's degree in accounting and prior work experience may be preferred by some employers. Some companies are willing to train new clerks who have prior education, and some experienced clerks may train new ones in the same manner.
Strong computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and accounting software, are highly beneficial. Applicants should also have interpersonal skills and excellent oral and written communication skills in order to work well on teams. The ability to meet tight deadlines is also important, as the data these clerks prepare is part of their company's financial statements. Finally, accounting clerks must adhere to all internal audit controls, work closely with internal auditors, understand all Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and stay up-to-date with new accounting principles and regulations.

Accounting Clerks may experience a large salary bump if they progress into a role such as Accounting Manager. The latter position pays an average of $60K annually. More often than not, a Staff Accountant role is the next step for Accounting Clerks moving up in the field. Staff Accountants usually make $43K per year. Many other Accounting Clerks choose to take on an Accounts Payable Clerk role, where salaries are typically $30K.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc offers the lowest pay in the field with a median salary of just $27K, but on the other end, some employees may earn up to $36K.
Accounting Clerks seem to wield many skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Payroll Administration, Account Management, Collections, and Accounts Payable are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 5 percent. Those familiar with Accounts Payable also tend to know Data Entry and Microsoft Excel.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Accounting Clerks do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $31K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $33K. Accounting Clerks with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $34K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $35K.
With a pay rate for Accounting Clerks that is 22 percent greater than the national average, San Francisco offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Accounting Clerks will also find cushy salaries in New York (+15 percent), Chicago (+15 percent), Austin (+10 percent), and San Diego (+10 percent). Falling short of the national average by 11 percent, the area with the worst salaries is Miami. Not at the bottom but still paying below the median are employers in San Antonio and Orlando (6 percent less).

Gmail, AOL, Yahoo Mail also targeted in phishing scam
Google has confirmed that a large number of passwords to its email accounts have been stolen in an "industry-wide phishing scheme" which affects Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL and a number of other service providers.
Following the news that 10,000 Hotmail passwords had been posted on the Web, a second list surfaced - this time containing 20,000 account details from a string of different account providers. Some of the accounts are old, unused and fake, but many are genuine according to the BBC.
Google said: "We recently became aware of an industry-wide phishing scheme through which hackers gained user credentials for web-based mail accounts including Gmail accounts. "As soon as we learned of the attack, we forced password resets on the affected accounts. We will continue to force password resets on additional accounts when we become aware of them".
The company added that the password issue wasn't a breach of its security, it was instead a scam where users have been tricked into giving up their passwords on what they thought were legitimate sites. These types of attacks are known as "phishing".
Security experts have recommended that if users suspect they might be affected then they should immediately change their passwords, as well as on any other sites that share the same password.

Yeast alpha tubulin western
I have a nagging problem with the detection of S. cerevisiae alpha tubulin (Tub1) that I hope to get some advice on. When running SDS-PAGE gels on yeast lysates followed by a western using either YOL1/34 or YL1/2 (rat monoclonal antibodies specific for alpha-tubulin), I can detect a single ~110 kDa band but nothing at ~50 kDa. When I include human cell lysate (from U2OS) as a control, I get a ~50 kDa band. The yeast band appears to be a dimer, and is of about 2-3x the intensity of the human band.
I have also used an anti-beta tubulin mouse monoclonal (KMX-1), in which case I get a very weak band for yeast running at ~50 kDa, and a much stronger one for human cells (5-6x the intensity of the yeast band) at the same molecular weight.
I have tried preparing lysates three ways now, grinding in liquid nitrogen, glass bead disruption (using a modified RIPA buffer that I also used to lyse the human cells) and Novagen YeastBuster (using the manufacturer's buffer and reducing agent). All give the same result. I have also tried lysing 6 different wild-type strains just to make sure the problem I face is not specific to our lab's wt strain.
Btw, I boil my lysates for 3-5 min after adding hot sample buffer with BME.
I am wondering if somehow the yeast tubulin heterodimer survives boiling in sample buffer :unsure: Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thank you.
Re: Yeast alpha tubulin western
Just an update - I've determined that with YOL1/34, I consistently get a single band of roughly equal intensities in human and yeast lysates, just that the human alpha tubulin is ~50 kDa and the yeast one seems to run at ~110 kDa. With the KMX-1 though, it is clear that both human and yeast lysates give a ~50 kDa band (the yeast band runs a little bit higher on the gel) but that the human beta tubulin band is about 50x as intense. So I'm increasingly leaning in favour of the idea that the yeast tubulins are running as a heterodimer in my SDS-PAGE gels, with a small amt that dissociates, whereas the human tubulins dissociate and run as monomers.
Re: Yeast alpha tubulin western
So the problem turned out to be Calbiochem, which I first purchased YOL1/34 and YL1/2 from. After buying YOL1/34 from Abcam, this problem was resolved. I started getting comparable signals between YOL1/34 and KMX-1 both in yeast and in human cells.
Millipore, which has acquired Calbiochem, refused to entertain any queries as to the identify of their anti-tubulin antibody clones but I will no longer purchase these from them and I would advise others to do the same.
Re: Yeast alpha tubulin western
Thanks, I will heed your advice. I usually stick with Pierce (under Fisher), AbCam, or SCBT.
Re: Yeast alpha tubulin western
Re: Yeast alpha tubulin western
I have noticed that sometimes, independent samples will have a bit less of the 110 kDa band (which is blindingly intense) and a faint, faint band around 55 kDa. I made a fascinating discovery when trying to transfer small molecular weight proteins in the absence of SDS (semi-dry, Bio-Rad). Under these transfer conditions, bands were present at 55 kDa, in addition to the very intense bands at 110 kDa; however, sometimes, there are no bands at 55 kDa, and no noticeable corresponding increase in the amount of 100 kDa. So these two observations had me convinced that my lysis conditions were causing the majority of my Tub1p to run at 110 kDapresumably due to dimerization. We boil at ≥100ºC in SDS+DTT for 3-10'. and I know that that can cause some proteins to aggregate (I am also having this issue with a new target protein), so I was going to considering denaturing at 60ºC.
However, this is good news, that an Abcam anti-Tub1p antibody gives bands at 55 kDa. Are they as intense as the bands you were detecting at 110 kDa? Or as faint as the ones you could sometimes detect at 55 kDa? As I say, sometimes I see less 110 kDa and more 55 kDa (and via SDS- transfer, even more 55 kDa, or none at all), which sounds like a dimerization issuewherein the majority of Tub1p would be dimerized. However, were your Abcam antibody to detect the 55 kDa as well as the Calbiochem at 110 kDa, then that would suggest that either the Calbiochem/Chemicon antibodies preferentially recognizes dimerized Tub1p, whereas the Abcam preferentially detects independent Tub1pboth of which could arise from how the antibodies were raised. This still presents a problem because, why then do I sometimes detect less 110 kDa and more 55 kDa in single lanes only, and why is some proportion of Tub1p dimerized (again, likely due to lysis conditions, perhaps even as specific as individual tubes being prepared simultaneously)? If the degree of dimerization is not consistent between samples, regardless of which antibody is used, this could lead to inaccurate relation of a target to the Tub1p control.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. It would be nice to put this Tub1p issue to bed.

Miranda Kerr is totally winning her divorce with Orlando Bloom.
While Orlando Bloom toils in Peter Jackson's Tolkien-themed, New Zealand dungeon, Miranda Kerr is out on the town, posing topless, and considering having lesbian sex.
In her latest interview with GQ UK, Miranda Kerr illuminated us on her views of sex and sexuality.
On sex:
"The older I get, the more confident I am about asking for things I enjoy. One thing I've noticed is now that I'm having less sex my body isn't as toned. The more sex I have, the more defined my arms and stomach get. Orlando and I always had great chemistry. One-night stands aren't my thing. I made Orlando wait for six months until I even kissed him."
Based on the pictures from the interview, I would say that Miranda Kerr is plenty toned. However, if she feels that she needs to be more toned, I happily volunteer myself to assist her. But to be clear, this would not be a one-night stand. Nor would our arrangement be us dating. I would be Miranda Kerr's fitness consultant, which would entail me having as much sex with Miranda Kerr as possible until she felt that her body was toned to her satisfaction. After all, Miranda is a professional model and she's not going to be working if her body isn't toned.
Miranda, get at me. Your career is on the line.
On sexuality:
"I appreciate both men and women. I love the female body and truly appreciate the female form. I want to explore. Never say never. I definitely need a man in the bedroom, however – a nice strong chest to lie on."
Well that's just great.
No snide remarks to make. I really hope that Miranda gets together with one of her hot model friends and films it if my fitness consultations don't work out.
Anyways, let's see Miranda Kerr nude!

Wii is video game console released by Nintendo some time ago, as you might already know. Today I've found a piece of furniture shaped like a Wiimote, the Wiimote Cabinet. It's not only a great homage to the best controller device ever created, it's actually functional, and I'm pretty sure that every Nintendo-fanboy must want one of these. This cabinet is perfect for storing your growing collection of Wii games as well as accessories. Unfortunately, this was a custom creation so you won't be able to pick one up for Christmas. The lucky owner of this piece of Wii inspired furniture is named Craig and the Wiimote cabinet was built for him by his dad.

It is crucial to recognize that attitudes towards sexuality and gender vary across cultures. LGBTQ-Q students should make themselves aware of the political situation and social attitudes regarding LGBTQ-Q issues in their desired destination(s) so that their choices in studying abroad are informed. Being knowledgeable of sexual identity issues and how this will affect interactions with host nationals will allow you to have a rewarding and safe international experience.
Safety and Legal Concerns
Sexuality is highly policed in many states, especially outside of Europe and the Americas, so those who do not conform to heterosexual standards may be subject to persecution. Generally speaking, countries in Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent tend to have harsher punishments for homosexuality.
The countries with the most progressive laws regarding homosexuality (this includes marriage, civil union, protection against hate crimes, adoption rights, etc.) are western European countries, some South American states, Canada, Japan, South Africa and Australia. In the United States, homosexuality is legal in every state, as the last of the sodomy laws was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2003.
Some societies are more accepting of transsexuals than in the West, and travelers to countries like Thailand may find cultures accepting of a third gender.
For more information on the homosexuality laws of specific countries, please refer to the following websites:
International Lesbian and Gay Association website on State Homophobia
International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission's Information by Country
And although we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the sources included, there seems to be a helpful summary of laws and rights by region and country on Wikipedia.
NAFSA's Rainbow Special Interest Group
The Rainbow Special Interest Group is comprised of diverse members of NAFSA (the professional organization for international educators), whose goals are to counsel international and study abroad students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender; to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender professionals in international education; and to combat homophobia and heterosexism within NAFSA. Safety guidelines, resources by country, and extensive web links to cultural, lifestyle and legal information are available through this website.

Only half of all the CO2 we pump into the atmosphere stays there. The rest is absorbed by the land and oceans. But as the world warms, they will be able to take up less. Eventually, they will begin to emit CO2.
The 2007 IPCC report included projections of increasing carbon feedbacks from seas, soils and changing vegetation, but no model included the possibility that carbon locked away in permafrost and in methane hydrates in the seabed might also be released. This is thought to have happened during past warming episodes, such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum 55 million years ago.
This year, researchers from the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, made one of the first attempts to account for permafrost emissions and concluded that they will lead to an extra warming of around 0.25 ...

A new structure for optical phase-lock loops has been proposed. Described is the optical injection phase-lock loop (OFPLL), which allows low phase error variance to be achieved in loops having significant propagation delay and offers superior performance to either optical injection locking (IL) or phase locking systems used individually.

Beautiful girls, hot cars, and of course Higgins, T.C. and Rick are all here in this sizzling set that's loaded with unforgettable guest stars, including Mimi Rogers, Dick Butkus, Pat Morita and Jill St. John.
Available on DVD for the first time ever, Magnum P.I.: The Complete Second Season is a must-own for thrill-seekers everywhere!
Editor's NoteHawaiian-set detective program MAGNUM P.I. was a huge hit during the 1980s, finishing in the top 20 shows during the first five seasons it aired. Tom Selleck, who won an Emmy in 1984 for his performance, plays Thomas Magnum, a Vietnam Vet who retires from the military and moves to the Pacific islands to start a private detective agency. His allies include a couple of army buddies who also live on the islands, and proper former British army officer Jonathan Higgins, caretaker of the mansion where Magnum stays and foil to Magnum's fun-loving ways. In SEASON TWO, Magnum and the other characters were further developed over the 22 episodes, which included guest stars such as Vera Miles, Tyne Daly, Pat Morita, and others. A deft combination of action and mystery coupled with Selleck's humorous and charismatic performances, MAGNUM P.I. is one of television's most entertaining detective shows.

Gallery: Innovative Wildlife Crossings for Denver's Perilous I-70 West
Wildlife Crossing by Janet Rosenberg & AssociationsThe crossing structure was designed keeping in mind the animal's perspective. The structure of the crossing is red in color, which registers as gray to most species, but is clearly perceived as red to humans.

This type of land bridge structure for animals has been in use or years (approx 10yrs to my memory) in Banff And Jasper National Parks in Canada. The Hwy system is fenced-off in all directions with the bridges as often as 2-3km, thus funneling the animals towards the land bridge. YES they work great, and have been saving the lives of Humans and the Animals since introduced.
December 2, 2010 at 5:07 pm
In response to tjane09's comment:
Yes, it's true that animals won't naturally seek out bridges unless the bridges are designed to take advantage of land-form and habitat patterns. Another key component of these bridges which has not been widely reported is that all of the proposals include fencing between bridges, underpasses, and disruptive terrain features (i.e. steep rocky slopes – though not a problem for bighorn sheep). Animals don't cross the highway randomly, rather a significant amount of field research suggests that ideal locations for bridges such as these can be pinpointed and that animals can be funneled onto them. Of course, these proposals will need to be refined over time as the knowledge expands, but they're a great start!
December 2, 2010 at 12:55 pm
this is a good idea in theory…but most animals aren't goin to say…hey why don't i walk a couple minutes down that way and safely cross over the highway with that bridge…. they are just going to cross the highway…
December 1, 2010 at 3:26 pm
I remember a West Wing episode years ago where "dimwitted" conservationists proposed building a animals only highway as a way to protect animals. In the show the scientists were basically laughed out of the building. The shows "solution" was rediculous but the problem that it tried to address is very real.
It's nice to see that people are taking looking into ways to save lives and protect animals.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 24, 2013
DeathCertificates.us.org is launching a suite of package offers for customers who need to look up multiple death records, the company said yesterday.
"Under our original system, we assumed that people would only be looking to download one or two death records," the DeathCertificates.us.org spokesman said. "So we assumed they would want to pay for them one at a time. But many of our customers have contacted us asking about package deals or long-term deals, so we are now setting up options for them to take advantage of."
People who are looking to download a dozen or more death reports are usually doing so because they are creating extended family trees or doing other genealogical research, the DeathCertificates.us.org spokesman said.
"What often happens is that one death record makes you realize you need another, and that one leads you to another, and so on and so on," he said. "We want people in that situation to be able to get their hands on as many records as they need as easily as possible."
DeathCertificates.us.org will offer a wide variety of packages, ranging from a discount for 10 or more death records to a one-year subscription service where they can download dozens of death reports a month for 12 months, he said.
"This is all about giving our customers the options that work for them," he said.
About DeathCertificates.us.org:
DeathCertificates.us.org is an online source for public records that specializes in delivering the most comprehensive death reports in North America. Generating hundreds of customers daily, DeathCertificates.us.org prides itself on providing the highest degree of customer service and report accuracy.

Canadians still buying in Arizona despite price hike
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Higher real estate prices aren't stopping Canadians from buying Arizona properties.
Demand has sent the housing prices higher, and that means that both Canadians and Americans have missed the boat when it comes to buying at the lowest price.
However, Diane Brennan of KTAR's "That Real Estate Show" said Canadians can still find bargains here.
"With the Canadian dollar so strong, even though prices have increased in the Phoenix metro area, there's still fantastic deals compared to what Canadians can buy for in Canada," she said.
Brennan specializes in dealing with buyers from north of the border.
"I'm advising them to continue to buy," she said. "There's still great deals here. You can't buy condos for $100,000 in Canada. It's still very cheap here. There's a lot of investors that are purchasing. There's a lot of 30-year-olds who are purchasing their retirement homes because things are so cheap here."
Valley real estate expert Dean Wegner said the buying frenzy of the past few months has leveled off.
"Right now, it's not as much as it was during the summer, when you were getting 30 offers on the first day," he said. "But homes are selling in the first week that they're on the market. You're still seeing multiple offers, but the bidding wars and the craziness has definitely leveled off."
But something else has changed.
"We're seeing a better appraisal environment," Wegner said. "Whereas in the summer, nine out of 10 deals wouldn't appraise. Now, nine out of 10 deals are appraising."

More than 20 years have passed since the well preserved mummy of Ötzi was discovered on the Ötztal Alps near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjochon at the border between Austria and Italy. One of the first studies carried out after the discovery, was to determine the origin of flint tools that The Iceman (who lived around 3,300 BCE) was carrying with him when he died, as they promised valuable information to understanding his environment and connections.

Ack, feeling silly - can't figure out what half the menus are for DAZ. Not even sure where to start, and video tutorials aren't very helpful for me. :( It's easier for me with traditional text with picture examples, and most of those seem to be for earlier versions of DAZ. I'm finding it tough to understand half of the conversations I'm reading here in the forums.
Do any of you kind folk have any pointers for a rank newbie? I get the feeling I started in the middle of things and haven't learned much of what I need to to use DAZ to the fullest.
Thank you so much!
Best thing I can suggest to you would be to just go wild playing with everything in there. Dont be afraid to play around… You can always load a new scene. The Nuts and bolts thread might be of some assistance with info… Submit a new thread in there, theres planty of really talented people in there, I've learn off heaps of people. But it's one of those things that you got to muck around with it until you get a feel for the program

Only one word can describe the beginning of French Camp Academy's season. That word is gauntlet.
Not many people would schedule Class 3A Choctaw County, Class 2A Eupora, Class 3A Kemper County and strong Class A opponent Noxapater back-to-back-to-back-to-back to start a campaign. The Panthers did just that and ultimately they suffered from the choice.
As the team started off 0-4, coach Nathan Wright found himself in the position of striving to keep his players' spirits up. No one would have blamed the team had they gotten a little down, but that is not French Camp Academy's style.

Completion of an approved pilot winter operations training course and fitment of a low airspeed warning system to Cessna 206 Caravans are expected to be mandated soon by a US Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness directive applying to all commercial operations by the type, says the US Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA).
The Caravan Icing Working Group, involving RACCA, the FAA and Cessna, was formed early this year. While the group worked on a programme to improve icing risk management, the FAA introduced interim restrictions on Caravan operations in marginal winter weather. Many of the accidents invoved major cargo operators.
The working group has resulted in the launch of an FAA-approved, Cessna-run Caravan Safety Awareness seminar and a winter operations seminar. Pilots can attend seminars or complete a five-module online training course to gain a certificate of completion by Cessna. This certificate, plus fitment by the operator of a low airspeed warning system, will be mandated by December, says RACCA, and Cessna says it is updating its Caravan flight manual to include the new requirements.
