Forty six professional associations have received N5 million each from federal government through intervention from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) for the publication of professional journals to be distributed to public universities in Nigeria.
Executive Secretary of TETFund, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this in Abuja yesterday at the public presentation of the second batch of TETFund-sponsored journals for professional associations.
Yakubu said this was to help address the problem of funding and patronage that had hindered the publication of journals in the country.
"The problem hindering publications of journals of internationally accepted standards is funding and patronage and TETFund is taking care of these two key issues by not only funding the publication, but also purchasing the published material," he said.
He noted that journals published in the country were either irregular or completely not available and this had become a stumbling block to the development of the education sector.
Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa'i, said there was an urgent need to encourage scholarly publications if the education sector was to move forward.
She said it was in view of this that the federal government in 2010 approved a seed grant of N2 billion to revive scholarly publications by professional bodies.
The minister said government had decided to "move from book procurement to book development" as a way of encouraging research and publications.

Alexandra entered NUI Galway as a BA student in 2003 where she completed her degree in Political Science & Sociology and Geography in 2006. During the degree, Alexandra became very interested in grassroots initiatives, environmental policy and community life. In that same year she enrolled in a two year Masters in Community Development. The program included a five month placement in Galway City Council in the Community and Enterprise Section as well as a semester in Wageningen University- Holland. In Wageningen Alexandra was exposed to the field of disaster management as a way of increasing society's capacity to cope with crisis. Alexandra was hugely inspired by these courses and has since aspired to do research in this area. Alexandra has recently submitted her PhD thesis, the project focused on a critical exploration of the role of public participation in flood risk management strategies in Ireland.
Title: Flood Risk Management in Ireland- The Role of Public Participation
While growing vulnerability to floods globally emphasizes the need to pursue research in this field, the relatively recent engagement in Ireland with this escalating social problem is notably found wanting in both the areas of policy and research. In addition, attempts to engage with the complexity of social issues within this emerging body of knowledge have lagged behind in the face of a much stronger technical and hazard centred approach to flooding. The frequently 'social blind' perspective adopted is problematic as it offers very limited understanding of the causes, consequences and potential solutions to flood problems.
Opening up many of the hidden social and political dimensions associated with flooding in Ireland, the key concern in this research is to critically explore existing frameworks with specific focus on the role of public participation within existing strategies. Adopting a social constructivist approach to carry out two in-depth case study evaluations, the research makes use of thematic and discourse analysis to critique the nature of policy and institutional perspectives on flood management, and to understand the many relationships being forged with communities through the experience of flooding.
The findings highlight a number of institutional weaknesses which are seen to inhibit the development of adequate flood management solutions locally with damaging implications for vulnerable communities. The existence of weak institutional structures which lack in coordination and effective statutory powers to effect change are identified as problematic in this context. Engaging more critically with the use of risk based frameworks, the findings also highlight the dominance of risk as a managing tool which is largely carried out by expert-driven knowledge and limits the capacity of communities to contribute meaningfully in ongoing strategies. The targeted approach suggested by the risk paradigm is set against the noted large discrepancies between public expectations and state interventions, and the discussion relates these to evolving concerns over social justice and environmental rights debates.
While the evidence indicates many challenges and current limitations in terms of community involvement in ongoing strategies, the research has noted that challenging instruments of decision making such as the risk management approach provides an essential means to understand the underlying rationale and values informing these instruments and importantly to look for change if they are largely unrepresentative of the real experiences of flood impacted communities and if they hamper the process of effectively coping with flooding in real-time contexts.

Dear iDEALS, a drawing by Ken Adam, the set-designer for Kubrick's Dr. Strange Love, inspired Kristofer Kongshaug for his autumn - winter 2013 women's collection.
The designer uses futuristic and architectural shapes with a touch of minimalism, based on extreme tailoring. The theme within this collection is science-fiction industrialization, mixed with anatomical features from human and animal shapes with atmospheric references.
Kristofer Kongshaug's vision is the definition of contrast living. He does not adhere to imitating trends, yet aspires to create them using his signature, which resides on the edge of Haute Couture tailoring, luxury street-fashion, and the avant-garde, with a focus on New Tailoring. Kristofer Kongshaug proposes a silhouette in perfect accord with the brand.

Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during a news conference in Moscow, Russia, Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko)
Russian President Vladimir Putin has now waded into the debate on Syria's future, after over 40,000 people have lost their lives in the country's bloody uprising.
Putin stated that his country was "not concerned about the fate" of President Bashar Assad's regime, while managing to cavalierly sum up the experience of decades of Baath Party rule, usually as a strong ally of Moscow, as a "family [that] has held power."
Politicians and analysts have had a field day examining the statements of Russian officials in recent days and weeks; Russia's deputy foreign minister, Mikhail Bogdanov, caused a mini-storm when he expressed pessimism about the fate of the Syrian regime, and then claimed he was misunderstood by journalists.
The breathless denials seem weaker in the wake of the comments by Putin, who appears to be of the same opinion: It is time to put some distance between Moscow and Damascus.
Putin's remarks will be interpreted in several different ways. Undoubtedly, some people will focus on the notion that the Russians are beginning the process of laying the groundwork for a possible deal with the United States and other countries over the departure of the Assad regime. Others might add that Russia has made already moves to secure its interests in a post-Assad era, and is thus signaling that it is time to move on. Still others might say that Putin's comments reflect a high degree of despair over the lack of options, and an urgent desire to cut the country's losses.
Whatever the case, Russian officials should realize their country's latest official stance comes very late in the game. Syrian regime forces continue to wreak havoc across the country and cause unspeakable harm to people's lives and futures. The thousands of fatalities will never be brought back; small children are incurring the kind of severe injuries that will haunt them the rest of their lives. Syria's economy and society are incurring massive levels of damage that endanger its very future. No amount of backpedaling now will help salvage Moscow's reputation in Syria and other Arab countries, after providing the Assad regime with the arms and political support to engage in 21 months of carnage.
If Putin and Russia are truly concerned about the future of Syria, the time for issuing carefully calibrated comments to the media is over. Russian officials should take action immediately to use their influence with Syrian officials to stop the violence, so that Syrians can finally begin the process of healing.
However, any changes in the Russian position aren't necessarily a political gain for backers of the rebels. The Syrian people have steadily become disillusioned with the inaction of the international community, and will only give credit to the party that truly helps end the nightmare, once and for all.

US trade lobbying group the Aerospace Industries Association launched an interesting ad campaign today aimed at the incoming Barack Obama White House. The message: Don't break a healthy defense industry in order to fix an ailing economy.
I talked to Fred Downey for a quick feature I'm writing based on the ad campaign. Downey recently joined AIA as vice president of national security, who previously served as the defense specialist on the staff of Senator Joe Lieberman.
THE DEW LINE: This is a very proactive move on your part, to come out with an advertising campaign before the new administration takes office. There's so much uncertainty out there about what could happen, with the change in administration and the economic crisis. How concerned are you that defense could become a bill-payer for the economy?
DOWNEY: There's noquestion that there's a huge economic issue laying out there. … We think that oneof the things they shouldn't do is cause harm to an economic engine that'srunning well in order to shore up those that are not. There are things they cando that can make that engine stutter or even jump the track. That's a bad thingfor national security, number one. And it's bad for the overall economy, number2.
TDL: The Obamaadministration will have to make a couple of quick decisions on key programs,like the F-22 and the C-17. Are your concerns focused on those programs or arethey broader than that?
DOWNEY: It's broaderthan that We don't take a position on a specific program. What I'm thinking ofis more along the lines is what happened at the demise of the
Soviet Union. Some people declared a peace dividend. We can take moneyfrom defense for these other worthy needs. We believe here that it's absolutelyimportant to have stability and predictability in the defense program side …that the overall level of defense spending needs to stay around the 4% levelthat we've been advocating for a while. There needs to be stability andpredictability in procurement funding … settle in the range of $120-$150billion on annual basis
TDL: Some peoplewould point to the Government Accountability Office report last spring that catalogedmassive budget overruns affecting a bunch of defense programs. They might saythat makes more sense to spend any extra dollar of taxpayer money in more productiveand efficient sectors of the economy, and where there's not such a high-chancethat it could be wasted. How would you answer someone who raised that argument?
DOWNEY:I'd saytwo things. There clearly is inefficiencies in the acquisition system and theyneed to be fixed. But that doesn't translate into free money for something else…. In point of fact that means military programs that are adversely affected andspecifically jobs that are at risk … If you're worried about rising unemployment,that's probably not something you want to do.
TDL: Back in the summer, the AIA briefed the Obama and McCain campaign staffs on the industry's 4% spending recommendation. How was that message received by Obama's team, in particular?
DOWNEY: The response was positive. The Obama team recognized that defense can't be a bill payer for the rest of the economy. They recognized there are real and legitimate defense requirements and they need to be funded. The Obama team at the time was not interested — and rightly so — in crafting a detailed budget. The reality is that if they won — as they did — they fully intended to do a strategic review and review programs in that light. …We believe they should not look for ways to take money to apply it to somewhere else regardless to the strategic concerns or the economic concerns.
When you're wrestling with a bunch of alligators, the long-term goal of draining the swamp seems to fade into the future and we just want to remind them while they're dealing with alligators not to forget the long-term problem.

President Obama said it right when he said there's a lot of good things that are being done than th negative we hear on cable tv. Americans seem to love controversy. We don't like to hear the positive things. It seems that when jobs are created another company shuts down and causes more people to be laid off. The oil spill happened and caused even more people to lose their jobs. The President is doing a good job but because of circumstances beyond his control, he is viewed as doing a bad job.

The next day the protagonists go to the cemetery next to Bacchus's catacombs to collect dryad bones. These bones are the only thing capable of piercing a bacchae's heart and killing them. Xena kills one of the skeletal, winged dryads and procures a sharp bone. Gabrielle then turns into a bacchae; she had been bitten the previous day at the party. Gabrielle escapes into the catacombs and the group gives chase.
They find Gabrielle, Bacchus, and a large group of bacchae in the middle of a ceremony. Gabrielle is about to drink Bacchus' blood from a cup and become a permanent bacchae, but Xena knocks the cup to the ground with her chakram. A fight ensues and Xena attempts to kill Bacchus, but he informs her that only a bacchae can kill him. Xena lets Gabrielle bite her, becoming a bacchae, and then kills Bacchus.
Two technical aspects of the episode were singled out for praise. First, a Hollywood Reporter article cited the winged skeletons in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" as one of the television show's special effects highlights. Second, the supervising sound editor Jason Schmid won the one-hour series sound editing award at the Motion Picture Sound Editors' Golden Reel Awards for "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. At the Burbank XenaCon II, Robert Field, film editor for Xena: Warrior Princess, mentioned that there were several bloopers brought to his attention by fans. Most were continuity errors and Field showed some clips of some of them. They included a propane tank from Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and Brad Carpenter, the outgoing Director of Merchandising at RenPic, mentioned that they were Still Trying to get the dancemix CD made. This CD would hopefully contain the Rave music played in the episode .

Two Communities - Community Involvement & Activism as a Protective Factor for HIV
Community involvement has played a central role in the fight against HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic. Volunteers and activists led the first educational, prevention, and care activities and created community-based organizations in the most affected populations. They created a culture of safe sex in their communities. Furthermore, in the process of mobilizing, volunteers and activists transformed themselves. They became educated about the risks and prevention measures for HIV/AIDS; developed a sense of community and a positive self-identity in spite of the stigma associated with being gay and bisexual men in the times of HIV/AIDS; and mobilized their social networks and social support to cope with their individual and community stressors.
Thus, individuals' community involvement may have critical public health implications. First, through their involvement in HIV/AIDS-related organizations and efforts, individuals develop and maintain a positive sense of themselves and become educated and conscious of HIV/AIDS risks and preventive behaviors. Second, via this involvement individuals affect change in their communities; and interventions are likely to be culturally appropriate and sustainable. Yet, research and prevention programs have overlooked community involvement as a mechanism to reduce HIV/AIDS sexual risk behavior among minority gay and bisexual men.
For the purposes of this study, we defined community involvement as a construct indicating individuals' unpaid work on behalf of others or a collective good and in the context of a formal or semi-formal organization and social networks, that is, outside the home and the family. We refined and tested cultural and sexual identity-based theoretical models of the association between community involvement and HIV/AIDS sexual risk behavior using qualitative and quantitative methods.
Specifically this research aimed to:
1. Examine the protective effects of community involvement in HIV/AIDS for Latino gay and bisexual men's sexual risk behavior. We tested the moderating effects of community involvement on the association between three socio-structural risk factors (i.e., poverty, racism, and homophobia) and sexual risk behavior.
2. Refine and test a model of the mediating factors of the association between community involvement and HIV/AIDS sexual risk behavior among Latino gay and bisexual men. The model identified and defined the mechanisms (i.e., peer norms, self-efficacy, positive self-identity, and alienation) by which community involvement affects HIV/AIDS sexual risk behavior.
3. Examine the socio-cultural barriers to and facilitators of Latino gay and bisexual men's community involvement in HIV/AIDS (i.e., motives for participation, poverty, acculturation, stigma, and perceived opportunities).
The research aimed to offer three major contributions. It constituted the first empirical effort to study HIV/AIDS protective factors among Latino gay and bisexual men. In addition, it advanced the understanding of community involvement in HIV/AIDS, its operationalization and association with HIV/AIDS sexual risk behavior. To our knowledge, no previous research had empirically studied community involvement in HIV/AIDS and its effects on sexual risk behavior, especially among Latinos. Finally, this research provided the basis for future interventions at both community and individual levels.
This research was conducted in three phases. The first phase involved the refining of constructs. Using life history methods we defined the concept of community involvement in HIV/AIDS. We described the concept and its dimensions, and refined our theoretical models. In the second phase, we developed and tested measures in culturally relevant ways for Latino gay and bisexual men, and tested a survey instrument. The third phase of this research was the testing of the protective effects of community involvement (Aim 1), the model of the mediating factors (Aim 2), and the barriers/facilitators for community involvement (Aim 3) in a cross-sectional survey of Latino gay and bisexual men in Chicago (University of Illinois) and San Francisco (CCI/SF State).

The Serpent of Sihari
Over the weekend I checked out a really cool, low level dungeon right outside Lomshir called The Serpent of Siharis. On the surface, it doesn't even look like a dungeon, because it's just the rotting hull of a ship run aground. But there are roaming dead all around the ship, and it becomes clear that something sinister is going on.
Above: Bracing for a pull at the bottom of the demon temple.
As my group headed onto the ship, we met up with the ghostly captain, who told us what happened. Apparently the ship ran aground on top of a temple, unleashing a horde of undead on the beach and causing the untimely deaths of the crewmates. He asked us to destroy the portals in the temple below the ship, to stop the influx of demons that had been seeping into our world.
We made our way below decks, and soon found the hole in the hull that opened to the temple. For a low level dungeon (levels 8-12), it sure was impressive! It was huge, and full of Ahnd'ka demons who cast a menacing shadow as they stood guard along the walls. The architecture reminded me of Qur'xa temple, which makes sense since the demons had stolen the secrets of planar travel from the Kurashasa.
Above: Eerie shadows from Ahnd'ka Demons.
Pulls here seemed fairly straightforward. The demons are usually clumped in twos or threes, but the groups seem spaced out enough that it's easy to avoid overpulls of multiple groups.
We crawled to the bottom, but unfortunately did not meet up with the boss. Instead, we decided to celebrate with a group handstand. We stunk so bad at coordinating it, though, and the only thing that could have helped us was to have had the boss spawn right behind us as we were counting to three.
Above: Can Henry Kissinger do this?!
Overall, it was a fun crawl. It's nice to be able to tackle dungeons even at a low level, and this certainly was no throw away, space wasting, mob lined tunnel. The layout and quests involving it are meaningful and eye-catching. It's a great spot for anyone near lomshir. Hopefully next time I'm back there I'll get to see the boss–and do a better group handstand!
Here's a few shots from the Griffin Event on Friday night. I only got to ride one for about 15 minutes, because soon after they put in the griffin vendor in Halgarad, the servers had to come down for a patch. I got to see some neat stuff in that short time though!
Here I am heading into Ironfor…….er, wrong game!
If I get to do one thing in this game, it will be to push Corka off this bridge.
Can't wait to find out who we can blame for this getting here….

Some high school kids had hoped to eliminate California's exit exam through a lawsuit filed last year, but it looks as though it's here to stay.
State Superintendent Jack O'Connell, a champion of the two-part test, announced today that a settlement has been tentatively approved by a judge: The exit exam stays in place, but those who fail the test are entitled to two years of free academic help from their respective school districts.
The settlement won't take effect unless the Senate and the governor approve it. The bill is AB 347, and the full text can be found on this site.
The summary of the resolution was pretty vague on what this academic instruction would look like. Students who need exit exam help already can enroll in community college, adult school or for an extra year of high school, so I'm not clear how they will benefit from the legislation. Maybe it's supposed to provide more of a safety net for them.
I'm guessing that private pre-algebra tutoring at home is not in the works.

Young Giftz, whose 2011 mixtape The Lake Effect was one of the less well-recognized mixtapes from a fertile east side Chicago rap scene, should see his profile rise with the upcoming release of The Lake Effect 1.5: The Re-Rock. One of the tape's lead-off singles, the Tree-produced "Nino," has just received a video, apparently filmed several months ago, judging by the heavy presence of cold weather gear.

The Kardashians
Khloe Kardashian Thinks Kim and Kanye West Could Have a "Long Relationship"
As much as Kim Kardashian tries to be coy about her love life, her younger sis Khloe can always be counted on to drop some juicy details. According to the loose-lipped reality star, Kim and rapper Kanye West may just have a future together.
At the 2011 People's Choice Awards, Kim tried to dodge questions about Kanye, but then Khloe oh-so-kindly quipped that her 31-year-old sister and the musician were "boning." With rumors about them still cropping up, the tallest Kardashian sister sat down with DJ Sway on Shade 45's Sway in the Morning radio show last week and explained the twosome's will-they, won't-they relationship.
"They were talking and trying to go on a date here and there, but it just didn't work out," shared Khloe. "I know they hung out, but I know it's never gotten to [the relationship stage]."
Even so, the outspoken reality star is onboard the Kimye 'ship. "I genuinely think that because we have so much in common — like our families, losing parents and we do have a lot of connections — I think that if they were to go there, it would be a long relationship."
Aww! Although we've always been Reggie fans, we have to say that does sound pretty sweet. Besides, who doesn't love a couple that goes go-karting together?

Greetings from Suburban Baltimore, Maryland. I have been a radio enthusiast since I was a small child. I can remember the glow and smell of the Granco FM radio I operated as a child. I enjoyed taking all the tubes out, testing them, and replacing the bad ones.
Over the years my Grandfather, Father and many mentors aided my transition to walkie talkies (bike mobile of course), CB radio, SWLing, etc. until I "graduated" into ham radio by age 16!
My original Elmer, "Tee" Bruno, WA2AET (SK) would give me CW practice every week...I passed my novice CW exam with code proficiency greater than 20 w.p.m. without ever transmitting on a ham band...then promptly learned about humiliation when I FAILED my novice written exam - a short lived error.
In November, 2004 I relocated to my current location in Taneytown, MD where I am surrounded by beautiful farm views and have just over an acre of land. I have made good use out of AB/577 Military masts which support my antenna hardware.
My station is configured as a Multi-Operator/Multi-Transmitter contest station and I can support 6 simultaneous high power HF operations on 10 - 160 meters.
The WX3B antenna lineup consists of:
10m: Force 12 EF-610 at 55 feet
15m: Force 12 MAG-615 at 55 feet
20m: Force 12 EF-420 at 50 feet
40m: 2 element Force 12 EF-240X at 55 feet
80m: Phased inverted L verticals, 9,000 feet of radials (Comtek phasing box)+ dipole at 55 feet. Array solutions stack match used to select vertical array, dipole, or split power to both antennas.
160m: Inverted L - 55 foot vertical, 80 foot horizontal, 5,000 feet radials, W3DF design.
Receive Antennas: 4 x 300' beverages (KD9SV), NE, SW, NW, SE shared on 80 & 160 operating positions with K9AY beverage switching system
My long term goal is to build a competitive Multi/Multi contest station.
I am a member of the Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC), the Carroll County Amateur Radio Club, and the Carroll County Contesters (WY3P).
My station is a GREAT place for new contesters to get their feet wet and experience the thrill and camaraderie of Multi-Operator competition during the major contests.
Many friends have greatly assisted with my station building: N3SB, NY3A, AK3Z, K3LP, W3LPL, K4JA, W3ARS, N3VOP, K1RH, W3ADC, W3RAR, N3KS, W3DF, N3OC, W3ADX and N3ST.
A special acknowledgement is in order Bob Morris, W4MYA for teaching me about Multi/Multi contesting.
73 & hope to hear you on the air,
Jim Nitzberg WX3B

LIU Post's Weber, Ferris State's Bowler Garner Louisville Slugger NFCA DII Nat'l Accolades
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Liz Weber of LIU Post and Dana Bowler of Ferris State have been selected as the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II National Player and Pitcher of the Week for May 1, respectively.
A junior pitcher/designated player for LIU Post, Weber starred at both the plate and in the circle as the Pioneers posted a perfect 8-0 week, including a pair of solid wins over then-No. 23 Adelphi and Caldwell (received votes in this week's NFCA poll). The Brightwaters, N.Y., native and reigning East Coast Conference Player of the Week batted .556 (15-for-27) from her lead-off spot in the order, registering two doubles, three walks, three HR's, nine runs scored and seven RBIs while slugging at a .963 clip and posting a .600 on-base percentage. From the circle Weber was also a perfect 4-0 with 1.35 ERA and 26 strikeouts over 26 innings of work. On the year she boasts a team-best 22-5 record with a 1.92 ERA and 180 K's over 171.1 innings, while also owning a squad-high .419 batting average to go along with 39 runs scored, 12 doubles, 10 HR's and 29 RBIs.
Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week Dana Bowler of Ferris State was incredible from the circle for the Bulldogs. The Lockport, Ill., product recorded a flawless 7-0 mark with a 0.00 ERA, six complete games and five shutouts over 45.1 frames of effort as her squad swept doubleheaders from Saginaw Valley State, Findlay, Hillsdale and Northwood. She currently guides the Bulldog pitching staff with a 20-6 record, a 1.08 ERA, 25 complete games, 12 solo shutouts and 193 strikeouts over 175.1 innings of work while limiting the opposition to a miniscule .185 batting average.

VACCINES that help the immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells will be tested in people next spring. Each patient will be given a vaccine based on proteins extracted from their own cancerous cells.
"We've done experiments with 12 different types of cancer and found an 80 per cent cure rate in mice," says Garo Armen, chairman of the New York-based company Antigenics, which developed the vaccines. The research was carried out by the company's founding scientist, Pramod Srivastava, and his colleagues. They have already tested their vaccines successfully in 10 000 animals.
The 15 patients recruited for the human trial will be injected with protein fragments known as peptides extracted from their own cancer cells. Most of the peptides match those found in healthy cells, but among them are mutant peptides unique to the cancer cells in that individual. The rogue peptides are corrupted versions of normal ones, ...

Romney was at one of the nerve centers for the campaign to pass the Issues. CNN's Peter Hamby asked a simple question: Did he support them?
Mitt Romney, who many believe is the inevitable Republican nominee, just keeps burning bridges with conservatives. We've explained them here over the course of the last year, so there is no need to go back over them.
But with labor unions becoming a target for many conservatives, and rightfully so, after the reasonable measures pushed by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker earlier this year and the Boeing debacle in South Carolina, it's an incredibly dumb move to snub the party's base. Yet Romney did just that yesterday by declining to endorse or even give a position on a ballot measure in Ohio that would limit the collective bargaining rights of public-sector workers:
Mitt Romney stopped in Ohio today, where polls show him competitive with Herman Cain in the March 2012 primary. He stopped by a Republican phone bank where volunteers were drumming up support for two ballot measures — one of them a national cause celebre for the left. Issue 2, if passed, would affirm the collective bargaining reform Republicans pushed through this year. The measure is on the ballot because unions want to beat it, and overturn the law, and polling suggests that they can. Issue 3, if passed, would prevent Ohio from participating in any health care mandate — federal, state, whatever.

BABBLING bouts of barks by baby bats. It's not a tongue-twister; it's the first example of infant vocalisation in non-primate mammals.
In human infants, babbling has an important role in language acquisition, developing the vocal tract and associated musculature. Similar behaviour is seen in other primates and some songbirds.
Now a team led by Otto von Helversen at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, has recorded infant babbling in sac-winged bat pups (Saccopteryx bilineata), a species with an unusually large vocal repertoire.
The pups, aged 4 to 8 weeks, uttered renditions of all known adult vocalisations, including barks, chatters and screeches (Naturwissenschaften, DOI: 10.1007/s00114-006-0127-9).
A lack of social context implies the pups babble for vocal training rather than communication.

Style: Karate / MMA--
I voted 5. I trained in karate for several years before I got into MMA and I would say I'm a little ahead of the curve when compared to students who have a similiar amount of MMA training. I did a lot of sparring in karate so I've already learned some of the basics like timing and distance. Plus I've got some techniques that MMA doesn't use: ridge hand, palm heel, groin attacks, stuff like that. Karate, or any TMA in my opinion, isn't sufficient to stand alone as a self defense system or fighting system, but a good TMA can supplement what you learn in MMA.

I don't get the one to ten scale as the descriptions seem to be more qualitative than quantitative. I voted 8 primarily because of this statement in its description "You should study alive-based combat sports" which I believe is the most important statement in any discussion on so called "TMA"s.
I guess you could say that I started in "TMA"s and slowly began to move away from them as I began to think critically about what I was learning. The time spent in TMA was maybe not completely useless since by the time I moved to "alive-based combat sports" I wasn't cookie dough for the white belts; however, that time would have been spent better if I had started in "alive-based combat sports".

I dont completely get the scale, should have put the worst options at number 1 and scaled it to 10.
I am just remembering when people thought a spinning kick wouldnt work in MMA and now we see it in every UFC match."Sifu, I"m niether - I'm a fire dragon so don't **** with me!"

THE boys at NFL Network don't seem to see us grabbing a QB in rounds 1, 2, or 3. In fact they mention the idea of us drafting a WR Tavon Austin.
NOBODY (NFL Network, mocks, nobody) sees us taking Chance Warmack (much to my chagrin), but they DO see us grabbing a lineman in the 2nd.
6 Comments:
NFL network knows nothing in my opinion, they know just as much as anyone else. I mean Tavon Austin? who are they getting their info from. It can't be from anyone high up because if it was they'd give disinformation they any good reporter would be able to dissect. Which leads me to believe that it's probably from so low level guy say "oh yea him... yea we checked out Tavon. He's a great player." and then the media running with that.
I'd be cool with drafting Austin and trading Maclin.
I like the idea of trading Maclin, but a WR at 4 tells me that Lurie is firing Kelly after next season.
he could go at number 4 with the way his stock has been risinig. the only thing i wanna know is what we got in the trade and how far back we moved cause he aint coming here. i think we need another starting caliber WR, but not with austins skill set. we already have two maybe more of him. in kellys offense, and almost all NFL offenses today, you need three starting WR. damn near everyone is using it and kelly will two. darick rogers in the third hopefully 4th would give us the guy we need to complement maclin and deseans ability, while still allowing us to trade maclin if a contract cannot be met.
A curve ball out of nowhere has people flailing all over the place. Like I wrote a few weeks ago they had the Eagles drafting three different players in less than a minute. This whole idea of "but this guy at four" is kind of funny to me, because clearly in this draft there isn't ANY CERTAIN GUY AT FOUR. Personally I hate the idea drafting and trading a position in the same season. The only conclusion I can come up with for this draft is the Eagles are aggressively looking to trade down. Every player who has been linked with the Eagles can be had later in the first round. If they Eagles can sucker a team into wanting to move up they will do so. Of course the Eagles could also be considering a move to the top of the draft to ensure the get Luke. There have been reports the Chiefs are openly shopping the first pick in the draft. This draft just seems to lack high end talent.
I highly doubt they WILL, but I'm going to keep holding out hope for Chance Warmack.

Well I have been running a Take On Dedicated server since release... It's not used very much, but I'll keep it running no matter what!
Currently it seems to be the only dedicated server, so I thought it kinda deserves a thread.
Also, I made an upload site, where you can directly upload your missions to the server! Overwriting/deleting files is not possible, the server has to be shutdown for that. Please send me a PM if you want me to do so.
So you can basically upload a mission, hop onto the server and play it.

Baseball has been a guiding light for Pierson junior Aaron Schiavoni, who is hoping the sport will lead him to the highest levels of a military education.
Schiavoni returns to the baseball diamond in Sag Harbor this year after a remarkable stretch of time where he was named all-county as a sophomore helping to lead the Whalers to a Long Island Class C title last spring. Then, playing for the Long Island Titans travel team last summer, he was named the team's most value player after posting a batting average of "around .400," he said, modestly, before practice on Tuesday.
Schiavoni also attended baseball camp last summer for the second straight year at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, which is his dream school to attend after graduation in 2014.
"I've been traveling around to baseball camps, and I got to go to the Naval Academy the last two years," Schiavoni said. "I got to meet the coaches and it gave me a great sense of what it would be like."
Schiavoni does not come from a military family, but got the sense from attending camp at the Naval Academy for the first time two years ago that a life in the military would suit him just fine.
"I saw that the kind of person I am would fit in perfectly," he said about entering the service. "I've become a stronger baseball player in the last year, but I've also gotten stronger mentally and with leadership. I like to lead by example."
If playing baseball at Navy, which is a Division I program that competes in the competitive Patriot League, does not become a reality, Schiavoni said he would also be happy to attend Virginia Military Institute, which is also a Division I school, or Norwich University, a Division III school located in Vermont and the oldest private military college in the country.
"Navy is definitely my dream school, whereas Norwich or VMI are something I see as a real possibility," Schiavoni said.
For now, the junior catcher is focused on the upcoming season at Pierson, where he hopes to lead the Whalers to more championships and hopefully the ultimate goal of a state title.
"I want to see us have fun and go as far as possible," he said. "And individually, I want to improve as a catcher and as a hitter."
Scary thought for opposing pitchers this season.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Re: CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003? in response to Linc Davis
Linc, thanks for the post, one step closer, but still no luck.
Completed all of your steps, the services -> reveal method worked great.
After deleting the entire file "com.apple.mail" re-opened mail. Saw the file get re-created.
Preferences now opened, but as soon as I clicked on accounts tab, Mail freezes again. (After opening Mail a second time, now continues to freeze on Mail -> Preferences)
Additionally went to System Preferences -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars, deleted out all of the mail accounts.
Still same problem, only one e-mail account now up and running (icloud) and still have mail freezing on preferences. Any other ideas?

Re: CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003? in response to AndreskyjPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It's unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can't do this. Ask for further instructions.Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won't work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you've forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.

Re: CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003? in response to Andreskyj Solved
Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Thanks, I think I will take the oportunity to do a clean install and get rid of a bunch of the chaff that has been hanging around. Appreciate the help, wish it had been a cleaner solution.

If someone asked you to swallow horse urine, would you do it? Millions of women worldwide swallow horse urine every single day. Surprised? Well check your medicine cabinet: If you take the estrogen-replacement therapy (ERT) drugs Premarin or Prempro, you're gulping down urine too. That's because the "secret ingredient" in Premarin and Prempro is pregnant mares' urine (PMU).
Every year, thousands of pregnant mares are confined to PMU farms in the U.S. and Canada, kept in stalls too small to take more than a step or two in any direction. The cumbersome rubber urine-collection bags that mares must wear at all times chafe their legs and prevent them from lying down comfortably. Mares are given limited access to drinking water so that their urine will yield more concentrated estrogens. And although horses need daily exercise, some mares are not let out of their small stalls for six months. Some farm managers tie up horses so tightly that they cannot lie down at all in their narrow stalls.
The thousands of foals who are born on PMU farms each year fare no better than their mothers. Some are used to replace exhausted mares, many of whom have been confined to PMU farms for up to 20 years. But most of the remaining foals, along with the worn-out mares, are sold at auction, where they are bought by "kill buyers" for slaughterhouses.
An Arizona newspaper recently reported on a couple who rescues PMU mares and foals. The couple notes that the horses are often fearful and unsocialized because of abusive treatment and/or neglect on PMU farms. The couple also notes-chillingly-that the drugs' maker, Wyeth, actually forbids farm owners to give or sell PMU horses to rescue groups for fear of the bad publicity that results when rescue groups talk to the media about the horses' plight.
Premarin and Prempro don't just hurt horses. After Wyeth fought tooth and nail to ensure that only Premarin and Prempro were used in the massive Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, their machinations backfired in a big way when the study was called off prematurely because of the discovery that the drugs were linked to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer. They also found that most of the drugs' supposed benefits-including improved mental and physical well-being, better sleep, and increased energy and memory function-were nonexistent.
After the WHI findings were publicized, the use of Premarin and Prempro fortunately plummeted, but some doctors continue to prescribe the drugs out of habit-and some women continue to take them for the same reason. But a growing number of physicians are suggesting alternative therapies to manage menopause symptoms, including ERT drugs made from plant sources or synthetics, such as Estrace, Estraderm, and Ogen, which more closely mimic the estrogens found in the human ovary. Some women report successfully combating hot flashes by adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercising, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, quitting smoking, and eating a low-fat diet. What have been your experiences dealing with the symptoms of menopause?
I'm willing to bet that most women, if they knew the truth about Premarin, would find it a bitter pill to swallow.

IF NEW trees are planted on deforested land, they take carbon dioxide out of the air and so help to slow the greenhouse effect. Young trees grow more quickly than mature ones, the argument goes, so they should 'mop up' carbon dioxide faster. This has led some people to suggest that established forest should be replaced by saplings.
Mark Harmon and William Ferrell, of Oregon State University, and Jerry Franklin, of the University of Washington, Seattle, have carried out a study to test this argument. They were prompted by US senators who said that old forest might be converted to young trees for logging.
In fact, the researchers found, replacing old trees with new would result in a net release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere (Science, vol 247, p 699).
The reason for this is that when forests are harvested, much of the standing wood is converted into carbon ...
