The key driver for this program is to improve the scientific foundation of hydrological, biological, and geochemical processes and their interactions relevant to environmental remediation, water resources, and enhanced energy production. Using theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches, the research program is unique in that it spans molecular-to-field scales in the development of system behavior insights, as well as novel tools and approaches.
Research in this program is accomplished by approximately 40 LBNL scientists and postdocs, who are members of all five Earth Science Division Departments. Many of the projects are performed through collaboration with other National Laboratory, University, and Industry partners. The annual support for this program, which was approximately $15 Million in FY09, is provided by a variety of sponsors, including the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and California Water Agencies. The Environmental Remediation & Water Resources Program is currently headed by Ken Williams.

FORT WALTON BEACH — A 35-year-old man has been charged with DUI manslaughter in connection with the death of a construction worker on Eglin Parkway last summer.
Michael David Stull of Fort Walton was driving a 1992 Dodge Dakota pickup truck north on Eglin in the inside lane about 11:15 p.m. Aug. 14 when he drifted left into a marked construction zone in the southbound lanes just south of Katherine Street, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The work was part of the ongoing Eglin resurfacing project from Shalimar to U.S. Highway 98.
Stull hit an orange traffic cone and then struck 56-year-old Frank Thomas Donson of Pensacola as he was walking toward a steel roller parked in the construction area, the FHP reported. Donson was thrown into the side of the steel roller and fell into the inside northbound lane.
Stull's truck continued forward and hit the roller.
Donson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Stull, who was not wearing a seat belt, suffered critical injuries, according to the FHP.
The resurfacing work was suspended for more than a month after the accident.
Stull was arrested Thursday for driving under the influence of prescription medication and for failing to drive in a single lane.
He was in the Okaloosa County Jail on Friday with no bond. He is scheduled to appear in court April 9.

BEIRUT: United States President Barack Obama said Monday weapons transfers to Hezbollah constituted an "unusual and extraordinary" threat to his country's national security.
In a letter addressed to the speaker of the House of Representatives and the president of the Senate, Obama extended for one additional year a 2007 decision to freeze the assets of individuals whose activities undermine stability in Lebanon.
"Certain ongoing activities, such as continuing arms transfers to Hezbollah that include increasingly sophisticated weapons systems, serve to undermine Lebanese sovereignty, contribute to political and economic instability in Lebanon, and continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States," Obama said in the letter.
"For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency with respect to Lebanon," he added.
Obama's extension of the U.S. decision, first issued on Aug. 1, 2007, is a routine procedure, carried out every year since then.
The decision which was issued under George W. Bush's administration took measures against a list of individuals the U.S. said undermine Lebanon's legitimate and democratically elected government, contribute to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Lebanon and work to reassert Syrian control or contribute to Syrian interference in Lebanon, among other things.
Separately, attempts to lengthen Army commander Gen. Jean Kahwagi's term hit snags Monday as caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati opposed the extension through a decree as proposed by caretaker Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn. The last-minute hurdles cast doubts on efforts to avoid a leadership vacuum at the military's top spot.
Ghosn was expected to make a recommendation for the extension of Kahwagi's term, as well as that of Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Walid Salman, during a meeting of the Higher Defense Council chaired by President Michel Sleiman at Baabda Palace Monday.
The recommendation was discussed by Sleiman, Mikati, Ghosn and Kahwagi on the sidelines of the Defense Council's talks, political sources said.
The meeting reviewed a legal study concerning the extension of Kahwagi's term prepared by the Defense Ministry's legal adviser, former minister Naji Bustani.
The study, which won Sleiman's approval, called for the extension of Kahwagi's term through a decree to be signed by the defense minister, the president and the caretaker prime minister in order to give a legal and morale boost for the Army commander.
Previous security officials' term extensions have been done through an administrative decision taken by the defense minister only, as will happen with the chief of staff and as happened with the extension of the Army Intelligence chief's mandate, the sources said.
But the participants were surprised by the opposition to this procedure from Mikati, who brought with him a presentation indicating that the extension of Kahwagi's term by a decree was illegal and could be challenged, sources said.
Mikati, according to the sources, said he had no objections to delaying Kahwagi's retirement, due on Sept. 23, through an administrative measure.
But the Army commander voiced reservations about this administrative measure, which, in his view, is weak and does not achieve the required purpose behind the extension, the sources said.
The rift shelved a final decision on the extension of Kahwagi's term to a later date before Aug. 8, when the Army chief of staff goes on retirement.Sources at the meeting said that if Kahwagi agreed before the Army Day celebrations on Aug. 1 to delay his retirement through an administrative decision by Ghosn, the latter could sign it at any time before Wednesday.
Ghosn told a local TV station that the decision to delay Kahwagi's retirement for one year would probably be made Wednesday.
MP Walid Jumblatt wanted the terms of both the Army commander and the chief of staff to be extended simultaneously. If this does not happen, the decision to delay Kahwagi's retirement will wait until September until an acceptable formula is found either through a draft law in Parliament, a Cabinet decree or even the appointment of a new Army chief if there is a consensus on the name of a certain candidate.
Also Monday, Parliament failed for the third time this month to convene to discuss 45 items on its agenda, including a proposal to extend Kahwagi's extension, due to a lack of quorum.
Speaker Nabih Berri postponed the session until Aug. 20-21. It was the third postponement this month as a result of a boycott by Mikati and MPs from Michel Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement, the Future Movement and its March 14 allies.

How to Use a Credit Card as a Debit Card
Easy credit and the overuse of credit cards has lead to major debt problems for some consumers. In response to this, many banks have developed a credit card that can also be used as a debit card. This card, though it bears a credit card logo, actually takes money directly from your checking account, without borrowing or accruing interest. Knowing how to use a credit card as a debit card is a smart way for consumers to manage their finances wisely and avoid debt. Follow these steps to learn how to use a credit card as a debit card.
1Open a checking account with your bank and then ask the bank to give you a credit/debit card. These cards are also called "check cards" and will have a credit card logo on them, like Visa or Mastercard, depending on which company issues the card.
- Once your account is established and you have received your credit/debit card, you can use this card as you would a check; the money you spend will be withdrawn directly from your checking account.
2Establish a security PIN for your account. You will use this personal identification number--which must be guarded carefully-�for your transactions when you want the card to be used as a debit card. A PIN is one of the most important features for using a credit card as a debit card.
3Set up an online banking account for your checking account so you can monitor your debit purchases. They will usually show up online within 24 hours. Since the money is coming right out of your account, it's important to keep track so the account is not overdrawn.
4Take advantage of the different options you have when making debit purchases (taken directly from the bank account) with your card. The options will vary depending on the merchant you are purchasing from. Some merchants will have you sign for your purchase; some will have you enter your PIN on a keypad; others may simply have you swipe the card. Paying for items with your card is straightforward once you know how to use a credit card as a debit card.
- Signing for a purchase gives you additional security protections that will help guard against fraud on your account. Many merchants, however, do not ask for a signature for purchases under $25.00.
5Use the card for everyday purchases as you would use cash. Just be sure to monitor your balance in your checking account to avoid becoming overdrawn and accruing overdraft charges.Ad
We could really use your help!
Teacher Resources?
Wireless Networking?
Starbucks Coffee?
- Some payment terminals give you choices between using debit or credit. The advantage of choosing "credit"�-even though, with this type of check/debit card, the money is still simply drawn out of your account-�is that choosing "credit" (which entails pushing the credit button on the terminal) allows you to sign for the purchase. Signing for the purchase provides additional security, as this takes the purchase through the credit card's network, which provides the same fraud protections given to a traditional credit card purchase.
- Many banks offer rewards points with their check card programs. These points are stored in an online banking account that can be easily accessed via the Internet. These reward points can only be accumulated when the debit card is used as a credit card during the transaction, so be sure to press the credit option on the merchant's terminal when making a purchase.
- By pressing debit on the keypad and using your PIN for purchase, you have the option of getting cash (withdrawn directly from your checking account) when you make a purchase.
- A debit card account will not help you establish a credit score in the same way a credit card will.
- Fraud is a greater danger when using a debit card. Charges from a stolen debit card may leave you liable for any funds taken out of your account. Guard your card and PIN carefully. Unauthorized charges on a debit card will be more of an inconvenience, because, unlike with a credit card, the missing money will be out of your checking account while the dispute is under investigation.

Hawaiin Hurricane, And Local Rain ChancesAugust 7th, 2014 at 9:04 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
What a year for rain. One of the main rainfall records that the National Weather Service keeps is from Norfolk International Airport. (The sensor was moved there years ago). It has had 1.56″ already this month. That is 0.40″ above the average. However, we have had 30.96″ for the year already. That is a whopping 3.38″ above the annual average. So it has definitely been a wet year, and it doesn't look like it is letting up soon. Last night Norfolk only had a trace of rain. However, there were some scattered downpours elsewhere. In fact there were some reports of trees down over parts of Isle of Wight County and Suffolk.
A cool front moved through the region last night and caused the scattered storms. Today that front is to our south.
Yesterday temperatures were in the upper 80s to low 90s. Behind the front today we'll go more for low/mid 80s. It will be a little drier, but it's not going to be what I would call a dry day. Just not as bad as yesterday. Skies will be partly cloudy. There may be a stray shower over some far inland locations and northeast North Carolina. Otherwise the area is looking good. Tomorrow we are looking even better. Skies will be mostly sunny. It will be a little drier still. Highs will be in the mid 80s and winds will still be northeast at 5-10. However, an area of low pressure will develop over the Tennessee River Valley by Friday night. This will move into our region late Saturday into Sunday. So the rain chances will increase from the late morning into the evening on Saturday. Heavy rain is possible in the region Saturday night. It's possible that part of the area could see some flooding. Stay tuned for updates. I'll have a lot more on that tomorrow as the models get a little closer in range. They haven't handled the weather very well over the past couple of weeks. We'll see if they change before then.
The Atlantic is quiet now. Bertha is long gone. However, things are pretty rough in the Pacific. In fact hurricane Iselle will likely move right over the big Island of Hawaii. At the moment there are 2 hurricanes which are heading in that direction. (Iselle and Julio).
Julio is likely to pass north of the islands. It may bring them some heavy rain and it will probably keep up the surge, but I think the overall impact will be low from the wind. However, Iselle is forecast to bring wind gusts of near 90mph, flooding rain, and a storm surge of 1-3 feet. Hilo may take some of the strongest winds and the storm is forecast to move just south of there.
It will pass south of Honolulu, but will probably still bring them some strong winds. Stay tuned for updates. Hopefully, those folks will fare the storm ok.

Not all 50 players united in decertification effort on reported conference calls
Nov 5, 2011, 11:30 AM EDT
It sounded like a cadre, right? Some sort of group of insidious All-Stars hellbent on destroying the union and sending the lockout into an eternal struggle in the courts. That was the sense gained from the reports about the 50 players who held two separate conference calls this week regarding decertification and potential antitrust lawsuits against the NBA. It made it seem like all 50 were ready to go and just itching to take the legs out from Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher.
But not so fast. From the Boston Globe:
As rumors of a NBA player mutiny surfaced this week because of two conference calls that discussed decertification of the union, Celtics guard Ray Allen downplayed the calls to the Globe, calling decertification simply an "option."
Allen said Friday night that teammate Paul Pierce organized the call of dozens of players to discuss the possibility of breaking up the union if a deal is not reached in coming weeks. According to Allen, there were two conference calls, one last week and the other Thursday. Allen said he was not on the second conference call.There has been speculation that the conference calls were a clear sign that many players are dissatisfied with the players' union, including executive director Billy Hunter. Allen said that was not the case.
"I don't know what kind of feedback or backlash came from it but I didn't think there was a need for anybody to panic whatsoever," he said. "Either on our side as a players' union or as owners. I thought the call was strictly to explore options. It was never call to organize union business. It was purely educational from a player perspective."
via Celtics Allen downplays decertification talks -Celtics blog – Boston Globe basketball news.
Additionally, Howard Beck of the New York Times, one of the reporters to originally break the report on the conference calls tweeted Friday night:
Players who participated in the conference calls had wide range of opinions/interest. Not unified in threat to dissolve union.
So even among the 50 players on the calls, there wasn't a consensus towards decertification. Factoring how many votes the players would need to approve an involuntary decertification following a 30 percent petition for a vote, this certainly cools the talks of such a drastic move.
Which is good, because decertification and subsequent antitrust suits are the fastest way to lose not just one season, but potentially two. In all honesty, the threat of decertification carries more power than the actual act, and it's like bringing a grenade to a knife fight. It damages both sides equally. Right now it doesn't look like the players have their fingers on the pin. We'll see how this weekend's talks go to figure out if it stays in the grenade.
- thetooloftools - Nov 5, 2011 at 11:56 AM
Today is really going to be make or break for both parties.
Keep playing "Whack – A – Mole" with the issues and the season will be lost before you know it.
A 50/50 BRI split is more then reasonable because when the recession hits again (and it will), everyone knows it will be much worse then the first (unless you know nothing about financial markets and the European debt crisis).
- craigw24 - Nov 5, 2011 at 1:22 PM
You seem to conveniently forget that a 50/50 split does not mean splitting the money 50/50. If it did then I think the players would have already settled. The owners take a cut off the top, then are offering 50/50 on the remainder. Also, there are some catches about how additional monies negotiated in the future would be split.
This is not a simplistic negotiation and fans shouldn't adopt a simplistic approach to its solution.
- Chris Fiorentino - Nov 6, 2011 at 12:03 AM
Yes, but it is a 50/50 split of the NET BRI which includes the expenses taken off the top. Wihch is perfectly reasonable considering all the overhead the owners deal with…like travel arrangements, renting of arenas, expenses for player benefits, etc. There is no way the players should expect the lion's share of the total amount of revenue coming into the league when they don't pay jack $hit for expenses to play. They come to the arena, they get their shoes and uniforms for free, they eat and drink for free, and then they play ball. They have everything handed to them on a silver platter and they don't pay a single penny. Then they are PAID a salary. And they want the total of their salaries to be more than the guys who are paying for them to do all this make?

The Microsoft Malware Protection Center has identified a new trojan which blocks cloud based AV technologies. While these attacks are centered in China currently, these concepts could surface in other future malware attacks.
Bohu Trojan - New Anti-Cloud Malwarehttp://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2011/01/19/bohu-takes-aim-at-the-cloud.aspx
QUOTE: The Microsoft Malware Protection Center has been tracking a recent threat that attacks cloud-based antivirus technology provided by popular major antivirus software vendors in China. The malware is named Win32/Bohu (TrojanDropper:Win32/Bohu.A).. The Bohu malware is native to the China region. Bohu attracts user installation by social engineering techniques, for example, using attractive file names and dropping a fake video player named "Bohu high-definition video player". The more interesting part of Bohu is that the malware blocks cloud-based services now commonly featured in major Chinese antivirus products. Specifically, Bohu uses a number of different techniques in order to attempt to thwart Cloud-based AV technologies.

QUOTE: Win32/Bohu.A is a trojan that drops Trojan:Win32/Bohu.A!Installer - a trojan that filters an affected computer's network traffic in order to stop malware-related data from being sent to information-gathering networks that belong to particular AV companies in China. It has been distributed in the wild with the file name "Bohu high-definition video player.exe" or similar.
Master Boot Record - Importance of protecting against malware
The MBR area can be altered by malware so that Windows systems cannot boot properly. It is important to keep this area protected and clean as noted below:
Master Boot Record - Importance of protecting against malwarehttp://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2011/01/14/re-boot-this-year-clean.aspx
QUOTE: It is that time of the year again to start anew. In terms of personal computers, the act of restarting the machine is called a reboot – an action that triggers execution of code from a special part of the disk called the Master Boot Record (a.k.a. MBR). As the year 2010 ended, I looked at some of the threats targeting the MBR. The MBR, the most important data structure on the disk, is created when the disk is partitioned. The MBR contains a small amount of executable code called the master boot code, the disk signature, and the partition table for the disk. The master boot code performs the following activities:
1. Scans the partition table for the active partition. 2. Finds the starting sector of the active partition. 3. Loads a copy of the boot sector from the active partition into memory. 4. Transfers control to the executable code in the boot sector."

QUOTE: When asked what the most outrageous blunders they had encountered interviewing candidates were, hiring managers reported the following:
* Provided a detailed listing of how previous employer made them mad.* Hugged hiring manager at the end of the interview.* Ate all the candy from the candy bowl while trying to answer questions.* Constantly bad mouthed spouse.* Blew her nose and lined up the used tissues on the table in front of her.* Brought a copy of their college diploma that had obviously been white-outed and their name added. * Wore a hat that said "take this job and shove it."* Talked about how an affair cost him a previous job.* Threw his beer can in the outside trashcan before coming into the reception office.* Had a friend come in and ask "HOW MUCH LONGER?"
In addition to the most unusual gaffes, employers shared the most common mistakes candidates made during an interview:
* Answering a cell phone or texting during the interview – 71 percent* Dressing inappropriately – 69 percent* Appearing disinterested – 69 percent* Appearing arrogant – 66 percent* Speaking negatively about a current or previous employer – 63 percent* Chewing gum – 59 percent* Not providing specific answers – 35 percent* Not asking good questions – 32 percent

Many malware attacks are so sophisticated, that they even include protective capabilities for source code to ensure it is not used by other authors. These techniques also create difficulties for security vendors as they attempt to research the underlying functionality of malware.
Malware Writers - Using Copy Protection Techniqueshttp://www.zdnet.com/news/malware-writers-using-copy-protection/500345
QUOTE: Malware writers are lifting anti-piracy technology embedded in some of the world's most popular software to protect their own work, according to Symantec. The antivirus company said writers of complex malware toolkits can embed measures to prevent users from stealing their work. "They are using the same Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology as major software," said Craig Scroggie, managing director of Symantec Pacific. "They will build their own DRM, steal it from the big names or cobble it together."
Most would-be buyers of the toolkits lack the technical understanding to reverse-engineer the DRM measures. The price of a malware toolkit has risen substantially, Scroggie said, from about $15 in 2006 to more than $8000 today. "The premium is because of the success rate," Scroggie said.

1. STUXNET. It was remarkable because of its sophistication and use for espionage. It was thought to have been programmed to halt Iran's nuclear program. 2. Aurora. It hit Google and other big software companies last Christmas and it was remarkable because it managed to steal sensitive information from these giants. 3. ZeuS. It's a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) botnet toolkit that has become very popular in the underground.4. SpyEye. Touted as ZeuS's successor, recent accounts tell how it will carry ZeuS's source code into a more sophisticated code base. 5. KOOBFACE. It was remarkable because it spread through social networks from Facebook to Twitter. 6. BREDOLAB. A botnet that was used to spread other malware, acting as some sort of malware-deploying platform. 7. TDSS/Allurion. It has one of the most complex rootkit components ever seen 8. Mebroot. A spamming botnet that used a rootkit that could survive Windows re-installation. 9. FAKEAV. It's the scam of choice of most of modern malware so all infections have a fake antivirus scam as a visible payload10. Boonana. The Mac version of KOOBFACE
During 2010 Facebook became the most popular Internet site for USA surfers. While it provides a neat way of staying in touch with family and friends, this highly popular site also attracts bad guys who wish to take advantage of others or to seed malware.
During the coming year, some Best Practices for Facebook safety include:
1. Use a "text only" type approach, by avoiding suspicious links or potentially malicious applications that are constantly circulating2. Users should also safeguard their privacy by locking down key Privacy control settings3. Users should avoid storing or posting sensitive information.4. Check out a new "Friend" request by examining their profile thoroughly before accepting them 5. Ensure a complex password is set which differs from the email address used to register the account (and change it at least annually)
Facebook passes Google as most visited site of 2010http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9202938/Facebook_passes_Google_as_most_visited_site_of_2010
QUOTE: For the first time ever, U.S. Web surfers visited the social networking site more than any other site in 2010, beating out Internet behemoth Google, according to a report from Hitwise, an Internet analytics firm. Facebook, which had a flood of good and bad publicity last year, grabbed 8.93% of all U.S. visits between January and November 2010. Google, which had been in the top spot in 2009, slipped to the No. 2 position with 7.19% of all visits, Hitwise said. The analytics firm also reported that Yahoo! Mail came ranked third with 3.52% of all visits, while the main Yahoo! site was fourth with 3.3%. YouTube rounded out the top five with 2.65% of all site visits.
Please avoid all untrusted Happy New Year e-card links. The Shadowserver Foundation is warning of a new malicious and advanced botnet that has just been discovered and ressembles the Storm Worm designs.
New Fast Flux Botnet for the Holidays: Could it be Storm Worm 3.0/Waledac 2.0?http://www.shadowserver.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/Calendar/20101230
Those of us here at Shadowserver hope you're having a wonderful holiday season and are ready to bring in the new year. We were trying to relax and enjoy relatively quiet times until we noticed a new spam campaign that recently started. At first it looked like your regular old holiday e-card scams that have been around for years.
However, upon closer inspection it looks like we could be dealing with the next generation of Storm Worm or Waledac. If you consider Waledac to be Storm Worm 2.0, this looks like it could be version 3.0 or at least Waledac 2.0. There are no real version numbers of course, but we don't have anything else to call it yet. What's it involve you ask?
Well here's the list of what we've seen so far:
* Large scale Spam campaigns sending out e-mails with links * New malicious domains that are fast flux! (TTL of 0 and name servers that frequently update IPs) * Links are to several hacked websites hosting HTML pages that refresh to new malicious domains * Links are also directly to new malicious domains * Malicious domains hosting links to fake flash player and refreshes to exploit pages * Malware installs that begin beaching to several hosts over HTTP (what we dubbed HTTP2p with Waledac) * Malware that's been updated to look a bit more like legitimate than past variants * A very buggy network that is not often available (upstream devices not available) * Changing/Updated binaries
AVOID THESE E-CARD MESSAGES: Let's start with the Spam Campaign. We've seen a multitude of subject lines and bodies. Below you'll find a list of subjects we've seen and an example e-mail message. These are coming from all over the Internet with spoofed sender addresses.
Greeting for you! Greeting you with heartiest New Year wishes Greetings to You Happy New Year greetings e-card is waiting for you Happy New Year greetings for you Happy New Year greetings from your friend Have a happy and colorful New Year! l want to share Greeting with you New Year 2011 greetings for you You have a greeting card You have a New Year Greeting! You have received a greetings card You've got a Happy New Year Greeting Card!

DAN DONATO is enduring trial by fire. A graduate student at Oregon State University in Corvallis, he is under attack from academics and politicians with links to the logging industry. His offence? Suggesting that "salvage" logging to remove dead timber can slow forest regeneration after a fire.
This week Donato and his critics spar in Science, which in January published a paper by Donato on the recovery of a large expanse of Douglas fir hit by fire in 2002. He found that two years later there were fewer seedlings in areas that had been salvage logged.
Now Science is publishing complaints that the paper lacked "adequate context", alongside an attack on its statistical methods from Brian Baird, a Democrat congressman from Washington State. Baird wants to expand salvage logging, and in February grilled Donato in a tense congressional hearing.
Donato stands by his findings, and says independent statisticians have backed ...

The Bachelor
Bachelor 2013 Hot Mess of the Week: Amanda Meyer
If you thought Tierra LiCausi was going to be crowned Bachelor's Hot Mess of the Week, you are sorely mistaken. SORELY.
Despite the fact that she spent most of The Bachelor Season 17, Episode 4 ugly-crying, pretty-crying, lurking in shadows, and acting even crazier than Kris Kardashian circa the time she made this video, we love Tierra long-time. Plus, her hot-messiness is all part of an evil plot to take over the world, one six-pack at a time.
Which brings us to Amanda Meyer, otherwise known as The Bachelor's very own Lindsay Lohan (they love themselves some public intoxication, mmmk?). Let's just say this brunette bombshell didn't have a great week. First she lied about her roller derby skills, then she conducted an interview in which she straight-up cackled, and then she ended up face-planting on the ground and dissolving into tears. (Side note: high five to Amanda for being the first hospitalized contestant. We knew you had it in you, girl).
Amanda was pretty much a floppy mess throughout this entire episode, but the moment that really sealed the deal? When she made-out with invisible Sean Lowe during her post-hospital interview and wagged her tongue around at a bunch of cameramen.
We can only assume this poor girl was hopped up on vicodin and the fumes emanating from Sean's tuft of chest hair.

The continuing divergence between the Baltic Dry Index, an indicator for global economic activity, and global equity markets is something to watch. With global trade still contracting, is this just an inflation induced recovery w/ global central banks keeping their respective economies on life support?
At some point Bernanke is going to have to put his money where his mouth is. If he really thinks the recession is "likely over" then expect to see some hawkish langauge in the FOMC statement.
Hilarious as this tweet is, its the truth. Although in the days of mass media where history is written in real time, you have to wonder if Fed presidents have the same incentives as politicians – to give the people what will make them liked now, not respected later.
Great conversation around the action in $PALM going into its secondary. The rumor that is being tied to the action is a possible buyout by $NOK (which happens to be up today and probably wouldn't be up if they bought out $PALM). The fact that $GS is doing the deal doesn't help the suspicion of foul-play.
Anne Marie is a big believer in watching market internals which seemed to foretell the bounce back we are currently seeing. Great observation.
Definitely worth noting the action in these two stocks, $GOOG and $MS as they are bigger market tells.
New ETF's coming out for a certain industry or country are one of my new favorite top signs. Therefore it must be noted that 6 are now being planned for China.
The standoff appears to be resolved, as $SPX just broke above 1070.

With spring in the air and a newly elected executive, the Trappers' Running Club (TRC) is happy to announce that the 2014-2015 running season has started.
This year, the TRC will host 11 running events (four of which will be timed) and five running clinics. The clinics include: Kids Marathon Program, Learn to Run, Accelerated Learn to Run, 10 km, and Half/Full. We will also host the seventh Trapline Marathon on Oct. 12.
None of these events or clinics would be possible without the continuous and generous support of the many volunteers and sponsors. Each of these individuals and organizations/businesses has helped to make running a growing sport in Labrador. On behalf of the TRC executive and all the TRC members, thank you for this support.
In particular, we would like to thank all of our volunteer coaches, the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and the Trapline's major sponsors: Air Labrador, Minipi Outfitters, Nalcor, Rotary Club of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Serco Management Inc, and Sodexo.
We look forward to another great year of running and another great Trapline Marathon. And to the runners all across Labrador: run full tilt!

Okay so I'm sure it's common knowledge that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokemon while Arceus is the supposed "god". Asking which came first is practically the chicken vs. egg argument. And there's also man-made Pokemon like the Porygon-lineage and Genesect. It raises a lot of controversies. So I'll start a thread about this where people can share their theories. I'll post mine below to get this started.
I believe that Arceus was the first Pokemon to descend into the world. There it created the Creation trio: Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. Those three shaped the Pokemon World as we know it. And then all those unbreedable Pokemon, speaking legendaries that can't breed with Ditto, were somehow created, some by Arceus and some created each other like how Ho-oh created the legendary dogs. And then there was the Mew species. Mew was once a common Pokemon that was significant for its Transform ability, being able to carry the genetics of all Pokemon. Thus, the Mew species started producing the typical Pokemon, those with egg groups that can breed. And looking at Mew's ability to learn any teachable move that's not a signature move for one Pokemon like the elemental Hyper Beams, it's presumable that Mew passed on different abilities to different offsprings. Different Mew knew different abilities so different Pokemon of different types were born, as well as different Egg Groups.
But over time, the Mew species started to dwindle. Some died and disappeared from existence, others were devolving into the Ditto species, a Pokemon that carried the ability of Mew to transform into any Pokemon but lost the ability to perform other abilities that the Mew species had on its own. Thus, Ditto is just a fraction of Mew, just its transform ability. However, Ditto still had the ability to produce any Pokemon that Mew was able to. So if Ditto was placed in a Day Care with any Pokemon that's a descendant of Mew, then it can produce that Pokemon. But there's one small controversy: genderless Pokemon. Most genderless Pokemon (if not all) are either man-made or extraterritorial so they don't share the genetics of normal Pokemon. However, the people who created them were smart enough to be able to create the patterns of genes that normal Pokemon have so the man-made Pokemon are still Pokemon in its own rights, as shown by how they still use the same moves and are of the same type as normal Pokemon. Thus, Ditto can manipulate its own genes to match that of the man-made Pokemon to breed with it. That's how you can breed a genderless Pokemon with Ditto but not of its same species.
And let's not forget Mewtwo. It's a fact that scientists from Cinnabar got hold of Mew's genes and used them to create Mewtwo. So while Mewtwo is not a descendant of Mew and thus it can't breed with Ditto, it was created from a part of Mew through genetic engineering and thus Mewtwo is still connected with Mew.

You know what i really screwed up on this one, and i apologize. I actually never thought about our fellow Hispanic naturists. My fault! But i went and looked for a few images to post and didn't find much. But here they are. Also i found a interesting article about Anarcho-naturism. Give it a read.
Okay i have to admit the reason I'm reblogging this is because i found it funny. Also as a gamer and nudist i found it to be interesting.
Originally posted on the sl naturist:
I've not been contributing much lately. If you're an SL regular, you'll know that feeling. Sometimes RL simply swamps you. And 'swamp' is an appropriate word!
You might have read Ella's postings on the storms that have battered the UK in recent weeks. I was 'victim' to them, although I thankfully got off much lighter than many others. Our garage, set on the hill to the side of our house, was flooded, and we did lose electricity to our house for several days and some of our 'white goods' (our freezer, washing machine and tumble drier) were all lost to the water, alongside much of the remainder of the contents of the garage…lawnmower, etc.
Anyway, life goes on.
The house is largely back to normal now, and SL time can return :) Hoorah!
The only 'upside' to the flooding around us (we've not been affected this last, awful week) is…

Yeah…I'm starting to feel old, and fat. I guess these pictures kind of reflect my mood at the moment. The bad thing about cold weather is it makes it harder to go for a walk and try to improve my health. Thankfully though a space heater in my computer room helps me drastically reduce how much heating gas i use, so my gas bill has been low this month so far.
As a nudist i sometimes i find myself asking, "Do i need to lose weight and get healthy for my sake or the sake of being nude. Being nude all the time you get used to your own body, but you also have to look at yourself and if you are lucky you don't become judgmental of yourself to the point where you feel disgusted at your own looks. Some days i feel that way. Especially when it comes to my own nudism. When i mention that i sit at home all day in the nude to other blacks, i either get some restrained laughter, or judgmental looks from them, especially the older blacks. But i am well on my way to being that older black person. I'm 36 yrs old now. Maybe i need to find a life and a nudist retreat.
Either way i just stepped outside in the buff to toss out some food to the local stray cats and i can tell its only 60 degrees out. Maybe I'll go for a walk and get out of this house for a bit.
Now I'm about to piss some people off, but hey its not like I've never done that before so lets get to it. I've been paying some attention to the fat/body acceptance movement on the internet, and trust it is mostly the internet that is pushing this, but I've noticed that the naturist movement has gotten involved too.
Now the main deal for the naturists is drawing more people to the lifestyle by pushing naturism as a way to find happiness and acceptance with one's appearance. This is all well and good, but as a guy who has been trying to find volunteer nude models for years now I have come to realize that the naturist movement is offering a bit of snake oil here. The idea that some how becoming a naturist will cure you of looking at your body in the mirror and not liking what you see is somewhat ridiculous in my opinion, and we won't draw anyone of less then perfect bodies when we SHOW NOTHING BUT AVERAGE SIZED FEMALES ON THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERY NUDIST/NATURIST WEBSITE ON THE DAMN INTERNET!!!
No sane fat woman is going to join us on the nude bike rides and nudist beaches if she feels that all she's going to see are skinny and average chicks at these places. Hell tumblr and imgr is doing better job with fat/body acceptance then we are with its ever growing collection of homemade porn/nude sites made by big girls on the internet! If we are going to attract a truly 'larger' base of people then we need to get with the times and start showing more people on our sites that are pretty much the opposite of acceptable Western Beauty. And one thing i feel i must remind the naturist community about is that body acceptance and fat acceptance is pretty much the exact same thing, they are not mutually exclusive to one another.
So that's my two cents on this matter.
Nude men check out nudes at Austrian museum
A great article, check it out for yourself:
Vienna — These museum goers didn't just leave their coats at the coat check. They handed over their shirts, trousers and underwear.
Everything, in fact, except their shoes and socks. After all, the stone floor can get chilly when you're touring an art exhibit in the nude, which was what more than 60 art lovers did in a special after-hours showing at Vienna's prestigious Leopold museum.
For many, the tour of "Nude Men from 1800 to Today" — an exhibit of 300 paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures focused on the bare male — was a goose-bump-raising instance of life imitating art.

Description: Chris was a boy who was cursed with the Brand of the Beast that devoured the fates of the surrounding people. His life changed when he met a girl when he was wandering a corpse-laden battlefield as a young mercenary. She, Minerva, appeared before his eyes waving a huge sword in clothes of pure white. With the power of foresight and overwhelming swordsmanship, she was a legendary swordswoman feared as a grim reaper. Smiling in slaughter and weeping in sleep, that was the heavy burden shouldered by the girl. That fateful night, Minerva's fate of being killed by Chris was distorted by the brand. The two souls destined to be in the company of death met in the depths of despair. In the symphony of blades and blood, the boy and girl's beautiful legend of sorrowful magnificence is born!

Yesterday, a large and very dead squid was seen floating at the surface near the ship. The SEAPLEX crew retrieved the body (carcass? not sure what you call a dead squid) and brought it on board. The crew was unable to determine the type of squid, so parts of it (including its beak) were preserved and will be brought back to Scripps for identification.
Big squid! Josh Jones (left) and Chelsea Rochman inspect an
as-yet-undetermined species of squid, removing parts for later
inspection and identification. The remains of the squid, found floating
off the portside of the ship, featured a mantle that measured 2.5
meters. Adding the tentacles this animal might have been as large as
five or six meters.

The foxy economy

Mandy de Waal
Clem Sunter berates business schools and urges inflexible, self-involved businesses to look to their nimble, entrepreneurial roots to survive the economic crisis.
Throw your management books in the trash and don't rely on what you were taught during your MBA. It's not going to help you much as the world walks deeper into economic crisis. That's the message from leading scenario planner and author Clem Sunter, including the best selling author of The Mind of a Fox, Games Foxes Play and Socrates & the Fox. Written with futurist Chantell Illbury the books use the metaphor of the fox and the hedgehog in drawing parallels to business behaviour. In short foxes are flexible and regard life as a balancing act. They embrace uncertainty and know they are never in control. The inflexible hedgehog is rather self involved and slavishly focused on "the one big idea" and the illusion of being in control. The notion of foxes and hedgehogs is taken from leading liberal thinker, historian and philosopher Isaiah Berlin who based his thinking on an ancient Greek parable: "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.""The hedgehog is all that is being taught in business school, even Jim Collins teaches business to think like this," says Sunter who adds that much of Collins's business bible, Good to Great, extols the virtues of the hedgehog. Collins says great companies focus on one central idea, while comparison companies are foxes and are (according to Collins): "scattered, diffused, and inconsistent".
"In this crisis business needs to think like a fox. We are all so beholden to US management theory, which reflects power and success. What has that done for America which has become a lot less powerful than it once was and now needs money from countries with a surplus? US management theory has been based on control and predictability. What rubbish! There are so many things beyond your control regardless of how much research you do."
Voted by local CEOs as the speaker who has made the most significant contribution to, and impact on, best practice and business in South Africa, Sunter says the age of the one great vision where business fanatically synthesise and march in unison to one central idea is dead. "When you stubbornly pursue vision your radar shuts down, you start believing in your own PR and you start believing you have a level of control which is unrealistic. Then the worst qualities of CEOs of massive companies kick in. They become unable to listen to, or tolerate other views."
"It's interesting that in Darwin's first edition of Origin of the Species he doesn't talk about survival of the fittest, rather the survival of the adapted. The best are those that adapt the fastest. What Darwin meant was that survival was ensured for those who best fit the environment as it changes. What this does require is a degree of humility and self knowledge, which is lacking in any book written in America because they regard themselves as so powerful and successful."
South Africans, on the other hand, are inherently a foxy economy. "This is because we are highly entrepreneurial and used to dealing with things that are beyond our control and uncertain on a daily basis."
In his latest book Sunter explores Socrates's concept of never arriving at the truth. "What you need to do is ask questions and get answers in order to get closer to the truth. This is a completely different way of thinking in business. No idea is sacrosanct; the business is always about the journey and not the destination. If the going gets rough you may need to change the destination."
"This thinking is different to the linear process that most other organizations have. I am not saying you mustn't have a plan or budgets, but that you must have a conversation that tests the assumption of your plan and tests whether you have alternative futures if the one you are steering toward doesn't work out. If you are playing a game which is unplayable you need to change the game completely. Hedgehogs don't do that because they've developed a blind spot."
Sunter says that to move to a more foxy way of thinking and survive the economic crunch business needs to answer the following fundament questions:
"You need to ask yourself how much of your future do you really control, how much is predictable? If the answer to this question is only a little bit, then what are you doing to look at the alternative futures which may be relevant to you? Lastly how are you geared to respond to challenges when they arise? What are the impacts of these futures on you and how quickly will you adapt to survive?"

IT HAS been a busy week for tree huggers - discovering not only the world's tallest tree but also what governs a tree's ultimate height.
Until 7 September the record was held by 112.8-metre-tall giant redwood in north California, then a team at Humboldt State University found a 115.2-metre specimen in California's Redwood National Park. There is, however, a natural limit on maximum tree height, says a team led by Quanshui Zheng of Tsinghua University in China in a paper submitted to Nature's pre-print server.
As water evaporates from leaves, moisture is pulled into the tree via the roots, meaning trees have to work ever harder to overcome gravity and raise water to leaves at great heights (New Scientist, 24 April 2004, p 18). Now an analysis by Zheng's team of 22 tree species suggests why there is a limit to tree growth.
The higher up a tree, the lower ...

Dawson vs. Pacey: Which Dawson's Creek Guy Are You Crushing On?
The Capeside boys have switched roles! Season 2 of Dawson's Creek has been quite the roller coaster for Joey's (Katie Holmes) two leading men. The usually daffy Pacey (Joshua Jackson) has found inspiration in new girlfriend Andie (Meredith Monroe), and Dawson (James Van Der Beek) has spiralled out of control in the wake of his breakup with Joey (even though a movie came out of it).
While we were initially into the idea of soulmate-y love à la Joey and Dawson, Pacey's evolution from insensitive jokester to protective boyfriend has forced us to make MUCH more room for him in our DC-obsessed hearts. Not to mention he's finally "finding" himself, tapping into all the potential his father made him doubt he had.
So now the dilemma. Every professional TV junkie knows that you can't love them both; lines must be drawn, loyalties must be made. And brooding Dawson, despite his extended bouts of teen angst, is the best friend we want to watch movies with and maybe fall for in the long run. But now that Pacey has been exposed as a big ol' softie, we're beginning to realize that nothing says love quite like "I hate you" — at least in TV land. Sure, Pacey still has his stubborn moments that can drive a girl crazy, but he's definitely a keeper.
So who's captured your heart: deep-thinking, creative, caring Dawson, or multilayered, passionate, loyal Pacey?
Now that you've traveled back in time to April 1999 with us, it's only fair to tell you that it's actually April 1, 2012. Happy April Fool's Day! For more fun TV nostalgia stuff, click here.
