Instead, the techs employ Earth-friendly products that cut grime on hardwood floors, tile, and carpets without damaging the surfaces or harming the family members that eat off of them. They customize their services for each individual carpeting, clearing dirt and stains with low-moisture cleaning or hot-water extraction, depending on the carpets' needs. And they do more than clean: They also offer advice on how to keep carpets fresh and provide pest-control services that reduce or eradicate unwanted populations of bees, termites, and ants.PortlandPortland, OR US

MaidPerfectPDXRead MoreFor the teams from MaidPerfectPDX, cleaning a home doesn't simply mean wiping away all of the dust and grime. It also means finishing the job by using as many eco-friendly products as possible. Occasionally, the staff members even make their own cleaning solutions using the same method Cinderella used to make her perfume: by mixing a base of pure water and vinegar and adding a splash of essential oils—such as lavender, vanilla, or almond—for fragrance. Armed with these hypoallergenic, family-friendly products, they thoroughly scour nooks and crannies throughout the home. The teams can dust reachable surfaces, scrub kitchen sinks, vacuum rugs, and wipe down mirrors, leaving abodes spotless without ever having to resort to toxic chemicals.21939 SE Yamhill StGresham, OR US

Too thin!!!

Normally I'm a huge fan of Bank's clothing, but these pants are just too thin for my liking! They have no body to them, just hang there. Some thicker or stiffer wool is needed, similar to their suiting.

text: Gadgets Google developing SDK to make Android the standard for wearables Above: Google's Android Chief Sundar PichaiImage Credit: Dylan Tweney/VentureBeat March 9, 2014 12:40 PM Jordan Novet 0 Google wants to make it easier for lots of wearables to run on the Android operating system. In about two weeks, the tech giant will release an Android software-development kit (SDK) for wearable devices. This comes from Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president of Android, Chrome, and apps, today at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. "We'll lay out a vision for developers as to how we'll see this market working," Pichai said, according to a report from The Verge. Sure, Google has turned out the Glass wearable device, but lots of other companies, like OnBeep or Vuzix, have been working on wearables, too. They might be running different operating systems. So developers writing apps on those operating systems are essentially working in isolation, not inside a common ecosystem. Wearables will be a big topic of discussion at our upcoming VentureBeat Mobile Summit on April 14 to April 15 at Cavallo Point Resort in Sausalito, Calif. It's an invite-only gathering of 180 top mobile executives. A common SDK could lighten the burden on wearable makers to do everything on their own. "We want to develop a set of common protocols by which they can work together," Pichai said in The Verge report. At the same time, the move could turn Google into the enabler of a wearable platform, just as it's made Android a common platform for mobile phones and tablets, alongside Apple. Perhaps Apple will want to cook up a wearable SDK of its own soon, to keep Google from running away with wearable market. More information: Google Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information every day. Founded in 1998 by Stanford Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google today is a top web property in all major glob... read more » Powered by VBProfiles

BTMS-50 Conditioning Emulsifier - Behentrimonium Methosulfate or BTMS is a vegetable based conditioning emulsifier. It can be used to emulsify lotions and scrubs but is more commonly used to make hair conditioners. The recommended usage rate is 1 – 15% though we find that much more than 6% in our hair conditioner recipes is overkill. This emulsifying system contains a large percentage of conditioning agents, making it appropriate for leave-on conditioning treatments as well as traditional rinse off hair care. This product contains no hazardous solvents and comes in an easy-to-work-with white pastille.
Behentrimonium Methosulfate is a quaternary ammonium salt derived from the natural plant oil Colza, or what is commonly known as Rapeseed Oil. It is both a mild primary emulsifier and an effective conditioning agent, which provides elegant cationic emulsions for both skin and hair care products. These emulsions leave hair tangle-free and feeling silky smooth and provide skin with a softer, powdery feel after use in skin products such as lotions and creams. BTMS-50 is also capable of emulsifying silicone, adding to its range in hair care products.
Our favorite hair conditioner recipe, using BTMS.
Ingredients: Botanical Name: Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetyl Alcohol (and) Butylene GlycolCommon Name: BTMS-50

Q. I had a large oak taken down and noticed light-colored worms crawling under the bark. Did they kill the tree? Can we use the wood for firewood?
A. The worms -- most likely beetle larvae -- did not kill your tree. Many types of beetle larvae will bore into severely stressed trees and feed on the cambium -- the area under the bark.

Evangelical Institutions Partner with Bread for the World to Create Foreign Assistance Curriculum
Washington, DC, February 22, 2012
Bread for the World announced today a new partnership with Asbury Theological Seminary of Wilmore, KY and Eastern University of St. David's, PA, to produce an online curriculum for evangelical Christian seminaries and colleges on global poverty and foreign assistance. The coursework and its diverse resources will examine the connection between Christian advocacy and U.S. foreign assistance.
"As Asbury Theological Seminary becomes more deeply engaged with our Christian partners around the globe, we want to follow in the rich Wesleyan tradition of advocating for the poor and marginalized," said Terry Muck, dean of the seminary's E. Stanley School for World Mission and Evangelism. "We are proud to host a curriculum warehouse that will deepen our understanding of Wesley's commitments in this regard, and that will intellectually inform our advocacy efforts."
The project stems from an evangelical consultation at Wheaton College in May 2010, titled "Government, Global Poverty and God's Mission in the World." The declaration developed as a result of the dialogue.
"The consultation's purpose was to strengthen the understanding of how evangelical Christians approach government and God's mission in the world," said Sandra Joireman, professor of politics and international relations at Wheaton College and a Bread board member. "This new curriculum will equip teachers in colleges, seminaries, and churches to be faithful stewards of their political voice on issues of grave concern to the church worldwide—hunger and poverty."
The curriculum contains four broad categories. "Theology of Poverty in Today's World" explores how Scripture defines poverty and evaluates the effectiveness of poverty responses coming from Christian organizations. "Should Christians Engage in Government" examines how Scripture defines the role of government and looks at ways Christians from varying traditions have worked with local, state, national, and international governments.
"Government Initiatives against Global Poverty" outlines the nature of foreign assistance, the tools governments use to engage it, and the primary arguments for and against government-instituted foreign assistance. "Christian Advocacy for U.S. Government Foreign Assistance" analyzes Christian influence on government actions to reduce global poverty, using case studies of Christian organizations such as Bread for the World.
"We are thrilled to be working with Bread for the World and Asbury Theological Seminary to assemble materials that will … help graduate and undergraduate students think and pray through issues of U.S. foreign assistance," said Dr. David Bronkema, director of international development programs and chair of School Leadership and Development at Eastern University. "We are delighted that Bread for the World is taking seriously those of us committed to the intersection of evangelism and international development."
Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation's decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad.

Redsn0w still offers jailbreak solution for iOS 5.01 beta [Updated]
According to Dev Team member MuscleNerd, the current version of Redsn0w can still jailbreak the beta of iOS 5.01. In case you missed the news, Apple released a beta of iOS 5.01 to developers yesterday to address various bug fixes; notably battery life. The good news is that you can still jailbreak it using Redsn0w. If you have decided that you can't suffer the iOS 5 bugs any longer but don't want to forfeit your jailbreak either, you are safe to proceed.
Devs trying today's 5.0.1 beta can JB with existing redsn0w (but select the 5.0 IPSW thru GUI or command line)
The jailbreak remains a tethered solution for now and does not work with the iPhone 4S or the iPad 2.
Update: Redsn0w has now been updated to version 0.9.9b8 and it now supports iOS beta 5.0.1. There is no need to use the iOS 5.0 IPSW anymore!

What would it take for you to take your guns up to the local police station and turn them in? A $100 gift card? Some free gasoline?
Michael "Blue" Williams, who heads up a hip hop music company called Family Tree Entertainment, wants to make disarming Americans more fashionable among the younger set, particularly among blacks and Latinos aged 16 to 36.
"That's the audience they need to reach out for, the ones who are carrying the guns and committing the crimes," Williams said.
He thinks that can be accomplished by offering mentorships and concert tickets to the hottest new shows in return for guns. Among the tickets up for grabs could be a set to Barack Obama darling and recent headline grabber Beyoncé's world tour concert. It isn't clear at this time whether Beyoncé or any other pop stars have agreed to get involved.
According to MSNBC, William's program, "Guns For Greatness," is already being considered by New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly; but the commissioner wants to study the proposal further before implementing the program.
If New York implements the program, however, it would be one of the first private-sector gun collection initiatives to spring up in the Nation.

Previously Convicted Sex Offender Charged with Child Exploitation and Enticement Pursuant to Project Safe Childhood Initiative
Exploitation Charges Carry Mandatory Life Sentence Upon Conviction
Benton J. Campbell, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Thomas Spota, Suffolk County District Attorney, and Richard Dormer, Commissioner of the Suffolk County Police Department, announced this morning the indictment of Suffolk County resident JOSEPH DAVID BURKETT, a previously convicted sex offender, on federal charges relating to child exploitation and enticement. BURKETT's arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 tomorrow afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge William D. Wall, at the U.S. Courthouse, 100 Federal Plaza, Central Islip, New York.
The indictment alleges that, between November 2006 and May 2007, BURKETT enticed and coerced two boys to engage in sexually explicit acts in order to produce child pornography images. BURKETT is charged with seven counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Juvenile and one count of Computer Enticement of a Minor, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2251(a) and 2422(b), respectively.
In 1988, BURKETT pled guilty in Suffolk County to state charges of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree for sexually assaulting a child under the age of eleven. As a result of that prior conviction, if convicted on any of the current federal exploitation charges, BURKETT faces a mandatory life sentence pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3559(e).
On June 14, 2007, BURKETT was arrested by Suffolk County authorities on charges relating to the sexual abuse of the same boys who are the victims in the current federal charges. In light of his 1988 conviction, the Suffolk County District Attorney and Suffolk County Police Department, members of the Project Safe Childhood Task Force, referred BURKETT for federal prosecution. BURKETT has remained in custody since his arrest on the state charges.
"Protecting children from sexual exploitation is one of the highest priorities of this Office, the Department of Justice, and our local law enforcement partners," stated United States Attorney Campbell. "Sex offenders are on notice that they will face the full weight of federal, state, and local law enforcement." Mr. Campbell extended his appreciation to the Suffolk County District Attorney and Suffolk County Police Department for their assistance in the case.
District Attorney Spota stated, "The federal and state prosecution of this defendant, who has a record of molesting children dating back into the 1980's, is an example of what Project Safe Childhood can accomplish when we combine resources with federal law enforcement to protect vulnerable youngsters using the Internet."
Police Commissioner Dormer stated, "The investigation into Joseph Burkett began when a concerned and observant mother made an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers reporting that Mr. Burkett was online and may be looking to exploit young boys. The subsequent arrest and prosecution is the result of the continuing cooperation between the Suffolk County Police Department, the District Attorney's Office, and the U.S. Attorney's Office. With the eyes and ears of the public reporting suspicious activity and the continuing cooperative efforts of law enforcement, a dangerous pedophile has been taken off the streets."
Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative, was created in February 2006 to protect children from on-line exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better investigate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit "http://www.projectsafechildhood.gov/."
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney
Allen L. Bode.
The Defendant:
Name: JOSEPH DAVID BURKETT
Age: 41
The Department of Justice believes that it is important to keep victims/witnesses of federal crime informed of court proceedings and what services may be available to assist you.

The good news is, my latest game was running quite slow on Melissa's laptop
last night at the SVLUG Hacking Society meeting, so instead of adding
a title screen and game-over and stuff, I actually recoded the graphics
display code to get it back up to 30fps on her system. I wouldn't have
bothered for a while, I imagine, if I hadn't seen it going so slow first-hand.

Not a tale of super-heroes. The characters are believable, strong and weak, smart and mistaken.
˃˃˃ Smoke and Mirrors - The Suspicious Deaths of the BioweaponeersBeing mugged by a spook, if you're a journalist, is a good sign your story is more about the sinister truth and less mad conspiracy. International journalist Chloe Moreau is drawn into the intelligence world where secret services collaborate as well as compete for information.
It isn't only her investigation that is worrying the intelligence community, her husband has links with an Al Qaeda money-laundering project, and could be the terrorist they are looking for. Chloe needs information from MI5 and they need her help to bring down the terrorist plot.
Can Chloe get the proof she needs to publish her findings? And can MI5 prevent the imminent terrorist attack on England?

Weekly 26th May 2014
In Harris's
thriller, biological warfare, political intrigue, and international terrorism
surround a resourceful young woman's struggle to clime the professional ranks
as a journalist and fix a fractured marriage while staying ahead of the various
secret service organisations that want her dead. Reporter Chloe Moreau is
attacked shortly after investigating the mysterious deaths of several
scientists. But against a backdrop of murder and multinational terrorists, can
Chloe stay alive long enough to expose a horrific conspiracy?
Harris has written a solid and suspenseful
thriller, full of labyrinthine plot twists and solid characterization. And
despite occasional problems with narrative flow, fans of the genre will enjoy
this straightforward tale of espionage and intrigue.
"I really enjoyed this book! It was not a book to read before going to bed! I would start it when I finally had time at night to read and it would keep me up at night! It is sooo suspenseful and detailed that I couldn't put it down. I would stay up until the wee hours and then feel sleepy all the next day! Needless to say, I stopped reading it at bedtime!"
"An interesting theme with complex plotting."
"The difficulties of writing a torture scene "" with the delicate balance between understatement and overstatement "" should not be underestimated. However, Harris has risen to the challenge admirably."
"The drama in the spine of the overall story does convey a wonderful milieu of menace and unease. There is plenty for the reader to do, and that is always a good indication of the writer's engagement with the subject."
"Difficult to know where the truth ends and the story begins - it's so believable."

Depth of focus, however, is a measurement of how much distance exists behind the lens wherein the film plane will remain sharply in focus. It can be viewed as the flip side of depth of field, occurring on the opposite side of the lens.
Where depth of field often can be measured in macroscopic units such as meters and feet, depth of focus is typically measured in microscopic units such as fractions of a millimeter or thousandths of an inch.
The same factors that determine depth of field also determine depth of focus, but these factors can have different effects than they have in depth of field. Both depth of field and depth of focus increase with smaller apertures. For distant subjects (beyond macro range), depth of focus is relatively insensitive to focal length and subject distance, for a fixed f-number. In the macro region, depth of focus increases with longer focal length or closer subject distance, while depth of field decreases.
The choice to place gels or other filters behind the lens becomes a much more critical decision when dealing with smaller formats. Placement of items behind the lens will alter the optics pathway, shifting the focal plane. Therefore, often this insertion must be done in concert with stopping down the lens in order to compensate enough to make any shift negligible given a greater depth of focus. It is often advised in 35 mm motion picture filming not to use filters behind the lens if the lens is wider than 25 mm.
A rough formula often used to quickly calculate depth of focus is the product of the focal length times the f-number divided by 1000 (with result in same units as focal length); the formula makes most sense in the case of normal lens (as opposed to wide-angle or telephoto), where the focal length is a representation of the format size. The precise formula for depth of focus is two times the f-number times the circle of confusion times the quantity of one plus the magnification factor. However, the magnification factor depends on the focal length and format size and exact focus the lens is set to, which can be difficult to calculate. Therefore, the first formula is often used as a guideline, as it is much easier to calculate. It relies on the historical convention of circle of confusion limit being equal to focal length divided by 1000, which is deprecated in modern photographic teachings, in favor of format size (for example, along the diagonal) divided by 1000 or 1500.

Jessica Redfield was a 24-year old sports blogger and aspiring broadcaster when she was killed in the Aurora, CO movie theatre massacre. From all accounts, her hard work, knowledge of sports and glowing personality were going to take her places. Hockey was her favorite sport and she wrote several different hockey pieces and traveled the country watching it.
Graciously, the Philadelphia Flyers have created an internship to let other girls like Jessica accomplish their goal of working in professional sports. The title of the position is the "Jessica Redfield Journalism/PR Internship". The full listing can be seen here and the position is open to "female college students seeking a career in sports journalism." The Flyers officially stated that the purpose of the internship is to:
"To give a female college student, with similar career aspirations such as Jessica's, the opportunity to gain career experience in the hockey world," explains Ike Richman, Comcast-Spectacor spokesman. The young woman selected will work in the team's public relations office, on team broadcasts, social media and more."
Hopefully candidates are able to take this position by storm just like Jessica seemingly had her ducks in a row. Good for the Flyers for making something good out of the senseless disgusting tragedy.
Here is Jessica's brother Jordan discussing Jessica's legacy:
I guess that one show is partly right. It is sometimes sunny in Philadelphia.

Michael Maurice Johnson, the ex-boyfriend of Phylicia's older half-sister, was seen by a neighbor sweating and struggling to move a container from the apartment, Assistant State's Attorney Lisa Goldberg said at a hearing while arguing against bail for Johnson.
Prosecutors also said Johnson had exchanged 500 phone calls and text messages with the 16-year-old girl between July and September 2010, and Phylicia at one point had told a relative that Johnson made her feel "uncomfortable," Goldberg said.
A possible motive for the crime, however, was not disclosed. It also remains unclear why authorities charged Johnson now, after a16-month investigation.
The evidence was presented Friday in Baltimore Circuit Court by prosecutors as Johnson and his attorneys sought unsuccessfully to have him released on bail.
Defense attorneys said that Johnson and Phylicia's sister had broken up and he was using the container to move personal items, and that more than a year of police monitoring and investigating had turned up nothing. They also said it was impossible to fit a body in such a small container.
Attorney Russell Neverdon, who has represented Johnson through repeated police questioning, said, "It's very clear that they're grasping."
Johnson "being arrested and charged with this is a travesty, and it's unfair to him," said defense attorney Brandon Mead, who was retained for the hearing and spoke to reporters afterward. "They lack a significant amount of evidence. I don't believe any jury could look at what they've stated today and find him anywhere remotely responsible for any wrongdoing."
Phylicia, an honors student from Monroe, N.C., was visiting her sister Deena Barnes in December 2010 when she went missing. Her nude body was found floating in the Susquehanna River in April 2011.
Johnson, the last person known to see her alive, had long been considered a suspect by police. On Wednesday, prosecutors obtained a grand jury indictment against Johnson, charging him with a single count of first-degree murder, and he was arrested Wednesday night outside his Baltimore apartment.
He came to court Friday in a yellow jail jumpsuit, with his hands shackled in front of him. His right eye appeared to be nearly swollen shut. Authorities say he tried to run from officers during the arrest, while his attorneys say officers without clear identification startled and assaulted him.
At a news conference Thursday, Baltimore State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein was tight-lipped about the case, but Circuit Court Judge John Addison Howard asked prosecutors to outline the accusations to justify holding Johnson without bail.
Johnson had dated Deena Barnes for nearly 10 years — they were high school sweethearts and lived together, Goldberg said. After Deena and Phylicia connected through Facebook, Phylicia began making regular trips to Baltimore to visit.
Relatives have said Johnson had a close relationship with the Barnes family, and he considered Phylicia to be a little sister.
From July 30 to September 30, Goldberg said, Johnson and Phylicia exchanged 500 phone calls and text messages. Prosecutors did not characterize the content of the messages, though Goldberg said they demonstrated that "there was familiarity there."
But during her December trip, Phylicia confided in another sister that Johnson made her uncomfortable and she "didn't like how he looked at her," Goldberg said.
On Dec. 28, Goldberg said, Deena left the apartment in the 6500 block of Eberle Drive for work, leaving Phylicia asleep on the couch along with a younger brother of Johnson's. Johnson arrived at 10 a.m., took his brother to another apartment, and returned to Deena's place.
Goldberg said records show Phylicia using her cell phone and computer up until 12:23 p.m. that day.

Physical affection is a powerful stress-reduction tool for married couples — and the better your relationship, the stronger the power of touch. In an intriguing University of Virginia study, 16 married women agreed to be zapped with very mild electric shocks while researchers studied their brain activity with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Each woman in turn held her husband's hand, the hand of a male stranger, or no one's hand.
The results? Chalk up a victory for marriage. When husbands reached into the MRI machine to clasp their wives' hands, activity in the part of the brain that registers the anticipation of pain quieted down significantly for the women. They said that they felt less distress. And brain images also showed less agitation in the hypothalamus, the area of the brain that controls the release of stress hormones. Women who were most satisfied with their marriages got the most benefits. In contrast, holding a stranger's hand cut stress only a little.
"We can't see what our spouses are doing to our brains and emotions until a stressful event arises, but it's going on all the time," noted lead researcher James Coan, Ph.D., soon after the study was published. "When a wife holds or caresses her husband, she is really reaching into the deepest parts of his brain, calming down the neural-threat response."
Touch is second nature in a close marriage. But when one spouse is sick, that can all change. Experts suggest that couples make it a point to stay physically close and even resume their sexual relationship. But pain, muscle weakness, surgical scars, breathing problems, medication side effects, and worries about stamina or the effects of a physical activity like sex could make you both feel wary. The ill spouse may not feel attractive. The caretaking spouse may not want to overtax his or her mate. Your instinct may be to wait, but how long? This advice can help you both get the affection and love you need — safely.
Shower each other with physical affection. Hold hands. Hug. Kiss. Touch whenever possible. Learn how to perform a simple foot, hand, or back massage — and trade massages. The more touch, the better. It's soothing, cuts stress, and makes you feel closer and happier. If you have surgical scars or feel self-conscious about your changing body due to weight gain or loss, spend time holding each other while you are dressed. Dr. Sotile suggests gradually letting your partner see surgical scars or changed parts of your body, then gently rubbing them with lotion or touching them.
Have fun. Your mate is still your partner, so don't forget physical flirting and fun even if it doesn't lead to intercourse or an orgasm. Tease each other. Tickle. Fool around. Get to second base and linger there.
Make love when you're both ready. Physical love triggers the release of the bonding hormone, oxytocin, in women — you feel calm and happy. It also lowers blood pressure, protecting against heart attack and stroke. Men also experience a fivefold increase in oxytocin just before orgasm. The health benefits of regular sex for men? In a study of 1,000 guys from Northern Ireland, those who had sex three times a week or more cut their risk for a heart attack or stroke by 50 percent. Frequent orgasms lowered risk of death to one-half that of sexually inactive men, say researchers from Queen's University in Belfast. Maybe that's why long-married men live up to five years longer than their unmarried counterparts.
And yet, you may be worried about sex — and that's normal when illness visits your marriage. Eighty percent of heart patients, for example, are scared to make love for at least six months after a heart attack. Sex may not be the same — and it's wise to talk with your doctor first for advice on whether you're in the small minority of heart patients for whom sex may be risky, if your medical condition causes pain, or if you take medications that have dampened your libido or sexual response. Take it slowly. Enjoy the full experience of touching, tasting, feeling.
Need a little help? Ask your doctor. Steer clear of health food-store and online remedies for low sex drive or orgasm troubles. Some may be dangerous; others are simply ineffective. Still others could interact with medications you take and produce unwanted side effects. Both men and women experiencing arousal or orgasm difficulties after a brush with a major illness may boost sexual pleasure with a little pharmaceutical help, Dr. Sotile says. Viagra-type pills and creams that enhance blood flow in your most erogenous zones may be worth exploring.
Your doctor may also be able to adjust other medications you're taking or suggest other strategies to improve your sex life. If talking about your sex life with your doc makes you uncomfortable, pave the way by writing down your questions in advance.
Redefine intimacy. Don't give up if sex isn't what it used to be or is simply not an option right now. Embracing, hugging, touching, and kissing count too. Even if you can't manage intercourse, spending time together touching and talking can bring you deep, satisfying intimacy.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/28/13
The New York Jets have signed former Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Graham Harrell, giving them some added depth at the position. Harrell passed his physical Wednesday, in time to join the Jets for the preseason finale against Philadelphia on Thursday night. The former Texas Tech star spent the last three seasons as a backup to Aaron Rodgers, and was 2 of 4 for 20 yards in four regular-season appearances. With Mark Sanchez sidelined with an injured shoulder, Greg McElroy out with a knee injury and rookie Geno Smith unlikely to play, Matt Simms was the only quarterback available on the roster. Simms, competing with McElroy for the No. 3 job, is expected to start against the Eagles. The Jets released center Dalton Freeman to make room for Harrell. --- AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org

We've all been stunned by images showing the dramatic retreat of mountain glaciers. Yet few of us have given much thought to what happens next.
Now the first study to look at how life invades soil immediately after mountain glaciers melt has an answer. Primitive bacteria step in to colonise the area, enrich the soil with nutrients, and even cement the ground, preventing landslides, say researchers who have studied the process in the Peruvian Andes.
A few studies have looked at the types of plants that colonise mountain valleys that were previously covered in ice. But before plants move in there is usually a period, which at high latitudes and altitudes can last several years, during which the newly uncovered soil appears totally barren (see picture, right).
To investigate what is happening during this period, Steve Schmidt of the University of Colorado and colleagues examined the soil at the retreating edge of the Puca glacier in the Peruvian Andes. Between 2000 and 2005, they sampled the top 10 centimetres of ground that was revealed as the glacier moved uphill at a rate of 20 metres per year.
Nutrient boost
They analysed the chemical structure of the samples and screened for bacteria. They found that over the years, the "oldest" soil â" the dirt taken from the point that was revealed at the glacier edge in 2000 â" changed rapidly.
The first organisms to appear in the soil were cyanobacteria. These primitive bacteria are found in many marine ecosystems and some land-based ecosystems. It is these bacteria we have to thank for pumping oxygen into Earth's atmosphere 3.4 billion years ago, allowing land life to evolve.
By running DNA analyses on the soil, Schmidt and his colleagues show how the bacteria population changed over the first five years. Whereas "young" soil contained just three distinct genetic strains of cyanobacteria, four-year-old soil harboured up to 20.
The cyanobacteria increased the amount of carbon available in the soil, through photosynthesis and, along with other types of bacteria, they also boosted nitrogen levels in the soil, an essential nutrient for plant life.
Ground glue
Another, perhaps more surprising, function of the cyanobacteria seems to be to hold the ground together.
Previous studies have shown that they secrete sugary chemicals that help hold the soil particles together and prevent erosion. At Puca glacier, the researchers found that soil shear strength was nearly double in the oldest soil relative to the youngest.
"An important role of cyanobacteria in extreme environments may be to hold the soil in place," say Schmidt and colleagues.
Previously, it had been suggested that newly uncovered soil might draw its life from nutrients and bacteria deposited by wind, or from ancient carbon "pools" that were trapped beneath the glacier. Instead, the team say that though ancient carbon may help fuel the very early stages of new life, the cyanobacteria and nitrogen-fixing bacteria rapidly take the leading role.

Buildings with integrated wind turbines could generate at least 20 percent of their own energy needs, and perhaps all. They would be more power efficient than ordinary wind farms or solar powered constructions, say UK researchers.
An international team of architects, engineers and aerodynamicists has come up with a design for a multi-tower office building or block of flats with wind turbines fitted in between. This design is one result from an EC-funded project, "Wind Energy for the Built Environment", or Project WEB.
Curved towers would funnel wind towards the turbines and improve efficiency, the researchers say. Preliminary testing on a seven-metre prototype, designed by Mecal Applied Mechanics in the Netherlands and erected at the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, indicates that the design could be twice as efficient as a stand-alone wind power generator, despite the fact that it does not move to face the wind. Wind speeds in urban areas are typically about two thirds of those in rural areas, so the extra efficiency is vital, says the team.
Wind power is in general more cost effective and takes up less space than solar power. A typical mast generator is around five times less expensive than photo-voltaic solar panels that produce the same power. These panels would also be likely to occupy 10 times as much space.
"We are talking about a huge potential," says Sinisa Stankovic of project co-ordinators BDSP Partnership. "Twenty percent should be a minimum."
Other experts are impressed. "At face value the potential would seem to be enormous," says Marcus Lee, an architect with the Richard Rogers Partnership in London. "Integrating [turbines] into buildings could be a new paradigm."
Dramatic cooling
Wind turbines in rural areas are often criticised for detracting from the landscape and for generating noise pollution. Stankovic says noise insulation around the turbines could dampen sound. Traffic in cities would also drown out most of the noise, he suggests.
Architects at the University of Stuttgart have created a prototype design for a two-tower 200-metre tall building with three integrated turbines. Each turbine would need to be 30 metres in diameter to generate a minimum of 20 percent of the energy needed by a building of this size.
Stankovic says it is hard to put a price on the design. Integrating wind turbines into a building would be expensive but still a small fraction of overall building costs, he says. However Lee says the unusual curved shape could prove very costly. "It's going to take time, and capital investment is always a problem," he says. Lee adds that the thermal dynamics of the structure would have to be carefully considered, as the turbines could have a dramatic cooling effect on the building.
Pressure on planners to harness renewable resources in urban settings is growing. The UK government has pledged that 10 percent of all national power will be generated from renewable sources by 2010.

The sacrificial lamb has been shorn and taken to the altar. Immolation postponed.
Someone shaved his head. Lice? Punishment? Humiliation?
The trial lasted eleven hours. Five judges: three professionals, and two "popular" ones. Several witnesses. Prosecution charged vehicular manslaughter and renewed its call for a seven-year prison sentence. Defense argued that the defendant never exceeded 50 miles per hour and that the abysmal road conditions should be taken into account. Verdict has not been reached and may take several days. If found guilty he may get the maximum sentence, to be served in Castrolandia. Or he may be sent back to Spain, to serve it there. His family hopes he will be back in Spain by late October or November. Apparently, they have been given reason to think that the sacrificial lamb will be spared, or sent back home.
But no one knows for sure. A very detailed report in Spanish has been published by ABC. Go here for that. In English, the BBC is less detailed.
Court tries Angel Carromero over Oswaldo Paya death
BBC News
Spanish national Angel Carromero has gone on trial in Cuba accused of manslaughter over the death of high-profile dissident Oswaldo Paya.
Mr Carromero has been in custody since 22 July when a car he was driving hit a tree and crashed, killing Mr Paya and another Cuban activist, Harold Cepero.
The trial was held in Bayamo, east of the capital Havana. The date of the court verdict is yet to be announced.
A dissident blogger is said to have been arrested on her way to the trial.
The blogger, Yoani Sanchez, is known for highlighting issues affecting young Cubans on the communist-run island.
The pro-government blog Yohandry.com said she was arrested with her husband because they planned a "provocation" and "media show" that could endanger the credibility of the trial.
The trial in Bayamo - close to where the fatal accident happened - lasted one day.
Mr Carromero, 27, the head of the youth wing of Spain's ruling Popular Party, told the court he felt "profound sorrow for the unfortunate accident that took place".
But he denied that he had been speeding at the time, as alleged by prosecutors.
"The last time that I looked at my speedometer, I was not going faster than 80 or 90km/h (50-55mph)," he said.
"I have lost a lot during this time, and I'm going to lose even more, but nothing in comparison with the pain felt by the families involved."
Mr Carromero and a Swedish activist were injured in the crash. Prosecutors are seeking a seven-year term for vehicular manslaughter.
Spanish consul Tomas Rodriguez, who was observing the trial, said: "We will see how it all comes out. We are optimistic."
Oswaldo Paya's family has disputed the circumstances around the 60-year-old's death and has alleged the vehicle was deliberately forced off the road.
Mr Paya was best known as the founder of the Varela project, a campaign begun in 1998 to gather signatures in support of a referendum on laws guaranteeing civil rights.
The UK-based human rights group Amnesty International criticised the "arbitrary arrests" of Ms Sanchez and her husband, and called for an end to restrictions on free expression in Cuba.
The US State Department also condemned the arrests.
"We are very deeply disturbed by the Cuban government's repeated use of arbitrary detention to silence critics, disrupt peaceful assembly and certainly to impede independent journalism," said spokesman Mark Toner.

On Monday, 19-year-old Rodney Vest Pridget stopped by the Northeast Baltimore group home where he once lived. He watched TV with old friends and told them he was heading to the Towson Town Center mall.
Hours later, Pridget was found dead of gunshot wounds on a sidewalk outside a service entrance to Nordstrom as crowds of people inside shopped for Christmas presents.
People who knew Pridget struggled to understand what had happened to him. Baltimore County Police released few details about the shooting beyond the victim's name, emphasizing that the mall is safe and they do not believe that Pridget's death was a case of random violence. On Wednesday, police said there were no suspects in custody and urged the public to contact the department with any information about the case.
At his visit Monday, Pridget told friends he would visit again Friday, said 21-year-old Kevin Evans, who lives in the area and is friends with some residents at the group home.
"He was just the same old Rodney," Evans said Tuesday. "I don't know what would make someone want to do that to Rodney."
Baltimore County Police Chief Jim Johnson said investigators are making progress and added that surveillance from both within and outside the mall is "playing a significant role in helping clear this case."
"We know now, based on the investigation so far, that this was absolutely not a random act of violence," he said at a news conference. "This was absolutely not a robbery."
Police have determined that Pridget and the assailant were in the mall before the incident, which took place around 6 p.m. Monday, Johnson said. He would not say whether there could have been more than one shooter.
An employee at the group home for boys on Althea Avenue said Pridget had moved out last April, but said he was not authorized to say anything else about Pridget's time there.
A big red bow hung on the home's front door for Christmas.
"He was right here on the porch with us yesterday," Evans said. "He always stopped through here to come talk to us."
According to city court records, Pridget had lived at an apartment building in Parkville during the past year.
In September, he was sentenced to three years of supervised probation stemming from an August 2010 incident, Baltimore court records show. Pridget had pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and fourth-degree burglary, according to court records.
According to those documents, Pridget was part of a group of seven to 10 young men who robbed a man in the 4600 block of York Road. The records show the men asked the victim if he had "a problem" with one of the members of their group, then rushed inside and assaulted the man, threatening to "shoot up" the apartment and stealing an XBox. In May, the victim picked Pridget and two others out of a photo lineup.
Only Pridget was convicted, with prosecutors dropping charges against his co-defendants, Darren McCullum and Lamar Watson. Those men were subsequently charged with attempted first-degree murder stemming from a shooting in April, and their cases are pending.
Pridget's father, Rodney, said his son was recently "trying to do the right thing" in life and that his mother had died when he was 14.
His son had called him Saturday, Pridget said.
"We talked about him getting a job," he said. "That was the last thing he said to me."
Shortly after stores opened Tuesday at Towson Town Center, "Joy to the World" played on the mall's speakers. Red and green decorations hung from the ceilings, and poinsettias filled planters.
For some shoppers, news of the shooting made them pause.

Orphaned or injured wildlife: What to do if you find a fawn
Fawn. Photo by Flickr user zhumaly used under a Creative Commons License.
Wildlife Tips from the Lindsay Wildlife Museum
1931 First Ave., Walnut Creek, California
What to do if you find a fawn:
Now is the time to watch for fawns. Deer have learned to adapt to small patches of open space in urban areas and are common in many of our neighborhoods. Black-tailed deer, a subspecies of the mule deer, are common throughout the northern and central California coastal ranges. While they prefer open chaparral, they will adjust to almost any open space they can find.

How to Teach Your Bird to Shake Your Finger
Getting your pet bird to shake "claws" with you is not as hard as it seems. You can do it in just a few weeks with patience and encouragement!
1Set your bird on your index and middle finger.Ad
2On that same hand, place your thumb on top of the foot closest to you and hold it down being careful not to put pressure on it.
3Grasp your bird's other foot gently with your free hand.
4Say, "(your bird's name), shake," then shake its foot. For example: Polly, shake!
5Practice this every day at least 5 times for about 2 weeks. Reward your bird anytime he/she follows the direction of "Polly, Shake!"Ad
We could really use your help!
Makeup Styles?
Mario Kart Wii?
Google Maps?
- Give your bird a treat each time they preform this trick correctly.
- Keep training sessions fairly short. Otherwise, your bird will lose interest and get frustrated.
- Do not force your bird harmfully to complete this trick.
- Not all birds will be capable of learning this trick.
Things You'll Need
- A quiet area
- A bird

Adipose tissue problem
Hi friends,
I started to isolate proteins from human adipose tissue. But, I am facing a severe problem with the blood cells/blood vessels. So, I eventually happened to get a lysate which is red in colour. As I am using BCA protein assay kit for the assay of proteins, I am getting false results due to the color interference. I am clueless how to get rid of this color. I have very little time left to perform this experiment and my supervisor is awaiting my results. Pleaaaaaase send me any replies. I really appreciate any suggestions to my problem.

away from the leg stump and bowl it straight at him! There are so many possibilities that may not have been considered earlier. There are, I am sure, many more. For as Mohandas Menon pointed out to me, a no-ball is in fact a safer option because once the game is lost, there is no free-hit either.
Now, given the times we live in, there is another factor to an intentional wide or the no-ball. Can it attract the attention of anti-corruption? Admittedly, it is for tactical reasons and it isn't a wide or a no-ball bowled in the middle of the game for no reason (as with the Asif and Amir episode). But think about it. A planned wide or no-ball guaranteed to alter the result of a cricket match? I would love to know what the establishment and the fans think about it and therefore, the precedent it would set. Would it almost legalise the intentional but exaggerated wide? And would that get the dark side of our game excited? And to take Mohandas Menon's point about the no-ball further, as he himself points out, can you intentionally lose a match to win qualification? (Remember the Suraj Randiv episode where he bowled an intentional no-ball to end the game and thus prevent Sehwag from getting a century?)
On another note, I asked a couple of former bowlers if they would be willing to bowl a wide if it effectively meant winning and going through. One of them said he would be torn by the thought. The other said his primary responsibility towards the team was to win for them. And you can't argue against that.
As you can see, we may have stumbled onto an interesting debate with tactical, moral and legal issues!

Karasburg — The beneficiary of Farm Harib, Josef Andreas, is thankful for the farm unit he received, but thinks it is too small to make a meaningful income from.
Harib, situated in the Karasburg area, is just 2 632 ha, a small unit compared to the normally sizable farm units in the Karas Region.
Andreas who was allocated the unit in 2000, disputes his border with neigbouring resettlement farm, Bruinheuwels.
"Parts of Bruinheuwels actually belong to Harib, but although we complained nothing was done about it," the farmer said.
Andreas said the area is drought-prone and the unit should have been much bigger so that he could farm with more animals.
"But now I can't keep a lot of animals, because there is simply not enough grazing. I have to let the animals graze next to the main road when grazing becomes too scarce," he said.
When Andreas first came to his unit on Farm Harib, he only had 500 small livestock and at least 25 cattle. However, he now only has 300 small livestock and seven head of cattle left.
The farmer attributes this to the poor and limited grazing conditions and lack of proper water infrastructure. The farmer has to buy feed to supplement the almost non-existent grazing on his unit.
The water infrastructure is dilapidated and the strong winds experienced in the area damage windmills. Andreas struggled for 10 years to fix his water pumps, until the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement eventually paid for a Lister Machine.
"The ministry also told us to get quotations for solar pumps. Maybe the situation will improve now," he was of the opinion.
Like many other southern farmers, Andreas also struggles with predators such as jackals, which he said are a big problem.
In order to supplement his income, Andreas runs a shebeen (tavern) during weekends in Karasburg where he owns a house.
"That shebeen actually sustains the farm, so I have to do that if I want to make a living out of the farm," he said.
He too has received a N$65 000 loan from the Agricultural Bank of Namibia and plans to buy at least 80 more sheep. Andreas will have to start paying back the loan in December 2012.
Now the farmer's only wish is to get a little bit more land, to "make a real farming business".

Community Spotlight: SBEP Leads Restoration Project at Oscar Scherer State Park
Published Saturday, August 16, 2014
SARASOTA – The Sarasota Bay Estuary Program completed a project at Oscar Scherer State Park that restored 10 acres of freshwater wetland habitat. The results will help protect water quality and quantity in the park and restore and maintain hydrology. Another goal is to maintain, improve or restore imperiled species populations and habitats.
One project created a littoral shelf around Lake Osprey (adjacent to the Nature Center) for habitat value and conservation education. Another project restored an existing, isolated wetland that will be restored through hydrologic restoration and habitat creation. The final project restored littoral features surrounding Big Lake, including the eradication of a massive cattail infestation.
Project partners that joined SBEP included Oscar Scherer State Park, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Scheda Ecological Associates, Tampa Contracting Services, Inc. Funding is being provided by the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Ok 1st off stop with the drink metaphores,Im gettin thirsty and still in the am here in MO.
And now for my simple minded review of this here product.
Stats= 02 R1150RT with 20000 miles,everythings stock,10mnths since last TBS,same for valves,autolite plugs,new air filter.
Seat of the pants feel of bike before gizmo= surge appears at 3800rpms,motor does not like to pull at low rpms (ex.4th gear @ 40mph), ok torque from motor, but I feel there should be more torque from an 1150cc engine.
With gizmo=
I now have usable power-torque at lower rpms (4th gear @ 40mph feels much better,no need to downshift on inclines.
Surging has been reduced,but is not gone.
Never had poping thru exhaust and still do not.
Now love to twist thottle coming out of corners
The RT never thrilled me with its power,but its comfort and cornering sold me on a bike that is heavier than two of my last bikes combined.With this product installed I now grin coming out of tight corners.
Thanks for the grins guys.

I might be sorry I asked, but but what is switching rom's?
Posted 25 November 2012 - 15:42
You can flash a different rom to your phone, this could be a newer version of Android, add new features that were not present in the manufacturers rom for your phone or totally change the look and feel of your phone.
A great custom rom for various Android devices is MIUI.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 15:47
Very interesting. I have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7. What would the benfit of using that ROM on my phone or tablet be? Aesthetics? speed?

Both, generally those are the main things the devs aim for, along with removing bloatware and improving stability etc
XDA Forums is a great place for custom ROMs
Posted 25 November 2012 - 15:59
I think +pat already has the newest and best functionality from his devices, as they're recently released by Google with the newest available software.
Of course there are some bugs, but the dev community has nothing better for him at the moment, unless he wants to root his device.
Anyway, as he does not even know that rom is, I don't think he can benefit from that at this moment.
Also, I have a Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung has done a great job with software now, very sophisticated and closed, and it is getting harder for the dev community to improve that, competing with a huge company with billions to invest and resources to offer, compared to a group of independent devs.
I'm not really dismissing the indie dev community, but it is just that I feel their losing appeal ATM.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 16:02
I have an ASUS Transformer and their own stock ROM was buggy and almost unusable, XDA ported JellyBean and is easily the best experience I have had since getting my tablet, 100% bugs that ASUS failed to fix, XDA fixed
Posted 25 November 2012 - 16:10
Yes, but the Transformer is not so new compared to his Google branded cutting-edge devices.
Maybe I'm actually arguing towards Samsung's and Google's newer devices.

• commercial st. salon
First News Summer 2009
Cool in the Summertime
Patrons of the freshly enhanced Commercial St. Salon & Day Spa have something to look
forward to. Could it be the bright, modern interior, the soothing escape of massage
and facial rooms, or perhaps the vast selection of hair care products? It's all of
the above and more. Owner and operator, Liz Torres, decided it was time for a change.
What better way to facilitate that change, than with a whole new salon, while
maintaining the building's 1890's historic appeal. Liz and her team began the task of
creating a new look at the salon. A quick interior demolition was necessary to create
the appearance that Liz wanted to achieve. A new wall here, an elegant archway there,
and a fresh coat of paint (or two) was exactly what the salon needed. New chairs
anyone? Yes, and new hair, makeup, and nail stations too.
Whether you're in need of a makeover, "Extreme Eyelashes," a twelve-minute tan, or
just a plain ol' haircut, the team at Commercial St. Salon is more than capable.
Other services include permanent makeup, electrolysis, skincare, massage, full body
waxing (especially the Brazilian kind), nails and advanced color application. Oh, and
if you are in the market for a trendy purse, a pair of earrings and sunglasses to
match, they've got you covered. Liz has been in business for over twenty years and
has constantly strived to maintain an edge over the competition by always trying new
paths. The new salon is the appropriate way to celebrate her success and lead her
down the path to greater exposure and creatively inspired ideas. Together with her
team of stylists, including salon heiress and daughter, Sheila Cappellucci, the
future is bright and sprayed to perfection. "Don't Just Blend in, Stand Out!" is
their motto, and that is exactly what they do.

Hundreds of Libyans attend Tripoli's first major second-hand book sale since Gadhafi's ouster in 2011.
TRIPOLI, Libya: Flicking through an old book about Libyan history, a 31-year-old history masters student points to a picture of Tripoli's main square in the 1920s.
He never imagined he could buy such a book under Moammar Gadhafi.
"This is where we are standing now, Martyrs Square," said Ashraf Hussein. "Back [in Libya's Italian colonial days] it was called Piazza Roma. Such books were forbidden before because they told the true history of Libya – Gadhafi did not want that. I bought many such books today."
Hussein was one of the hundreds of Libyans who descended on the capital's Martyrs Square this week to browse through thousands of books at Tripoli's first major second-hand book sale after the 2011 war that ousted Gadhafi.
Accompanied by traditional music performed live, the crowd huddled around tables, perusing and buying novels and books about history, philosophy, geography, poetry, cooking and martial arts.
Organizers of the three-day fair, the funds of which will be used to build a mobile library to visit schools, said Western books – namely the "Harry Potter" collection – sold out first on the first day.
After a busy first day, they had to cancel the fair's morning session to make sure there were enough books in the busier evening hours.
"The number of visitors exceeded expectations and there were less and less books," said Rami al-Shaheibi, 25, who donated some books. "Now we know Libyans are eager for these books. Next time, we will try to provide more, especially English novels and those from other Western cultures."
Under Gadhafi, Western books covering certain periods were banned. Libyans say those depicting heroes of the resistance movement against Italian colonialism and independence were not given the attention they deserved.
Books about King Idris, who Gadhafi ousted in his 1969 coup, were also not available, and any mention of him was usually negative. Instead Gadhafi's Green Book of political ramblings was everywhere.
"There is such a great variety of topics here," said state employee Salem Ayayd. "Many of the topics were off limits before because they were against the regime's ideologies. Only later you could find such things on the Internet but that was not accessible to all."
Some 60 volunteers from civil society organizations such as Al-Tanweer (Enlightenment) Movement, which focuses on culture, organized the fair by putting up posters in neighborhoods and messages on Facebook. They managed to collect some 7,000 books.
"This isn't about making money or doing business," said Nizar Abudayna, organizer of the book fair. "We want to encourage reading, open people's minds through books."
Some visitors beamed as they bought many books for less than 20 Libyan dinars ($15). "There is a saying: 'When you buy books, you buy happiness,'" said sale organizer Suleiman Mansour. "Right now, my happiness is indescribable as I look at all the people buying books."
Among the books on sale were some publications by authors affiliated with the former regime, which irritated some visitors. "Some people may be annoyed but every book should be given a chance to be put on display," Abudayna said. "We don't want to limit people's minds again."

ZTE era is showing up at £279 with shipping if you google it. So unless Orange comes through again with £199 or less I would stick with the G300 and stick on the Atomic ROM and wait for something really improved.
But if you must, the ZTE era of Ascend Quad depending on price.
I've got a ZTE Skate, LG 2X and G300. They all have their plusses (2x has twistable maps) and a nice camera/video mod but it has a plastic lens cover and often forgets it has an sdcard. The G300 remarkable battery life, works well and is smooth no complaints, The Skate with ICS is also super smooth and big screen, but a little slow on web pages.
Friends phones and from playing in shops, SGS2, SGS3, HTC X - NONE seem a huge leap forward, especially considering their inflated prices.
I think I'm going to see how an ICS G300 is, save some cash and wait for a nice Sony HDR sensor to appear on a phone. So about another year wait.
You could always flog the G300 and get a dual core ZTE Mimosa X or something which on Orange will probably be Skate money £120-130? Interesting modem included.
Also, Google will shortly release a tablet at I/O for £149, so the phone suddenly needs to do much less than before - ie web surfing and you suddenly need 149 quid in your pocket
