Sump Pumps for Basements and Crawlspaces
A sump pump can help keep your basement or crawl space dry, eliminating excess moisture and groundwater from seeping into your home.
By: Caroline Shannon-Karasik
If unwanted water is making its way into your basement, then you may want to consider installing a sump pump.
A sump pump works to keep ground water from making its way into your home. The sump pit - located within the sump pump - is set to a particular level that will trigger the pump to remove water once a maximum has been reached.
Sump pumps are also useful for removing moisture if it has already made its way into a basement. The sump pump does not work to keep leakage from entering through the walls of a basement, but instead to reduce ground water that may cause or worsen an already existing problem.
It is possible to install a sump pump on your own; however, it does require a great deal of work and the use of heavy machinery, like a jackhammer. For this reason, you may want to consider the opinion of a professional who has the necessary equipment at his or her disposal.

- ecological restoration;
- landscape disturbance;
- natural recovery;
- species richness
1. During the past three decades, conservation and restoration biologists have increasingly recognized that ecological communities are likely to exhibit threshold changes in structure. However, because long-term monitoring data are generally lacking, little is known about the consequences of such ecological thresholds for the processes of ecosystem degradation and recovery.
2. To identify whether a degradation threshold exists that defines the boundary between the possibility of natural recovery and the need for artificial restoration of an ecosystem and to use this knowledge to support the development of a suitable strategy for environmental restoration, we performed long-term monitoring of vegetation recovery in China's Changting County since 1984.
3. A major problem was identified, which we refer to as the 'irreversible loss of soil services'; when vegetation cover decreases below a degradation threshold, this leads to sustained degeneration of the vegetation community, erosion of the surface soil and declining soil fertility. These changes represent a severe and long-lasting disturbance that will prevent ecosystem recovery in the absence of comprehensive artificial restoration measures.
4. Synthesis and applications. We identified a degradation threshold at about 20% vegetation cover suggesting that for some sites, vegetation cover can serve as a simple proxy for more sophisticated approaches to identifying thresholds; restoration must start with the restoration of soil fertility and continue by facilitating vegetation development. Our results support the concept of ecological thresholds (specifically, for soil services in a warm and wet region) and provide a model to inform restoration strategies for other degraded ecosystems.

Re: The Lex Luthor Thread
From what Goyer and Snyder have said in interviews, they seem to "get" Lex Luthor in the way that we've all so desperately wanted to see him portrayed for so long. Someone highly intelligent, charismatic and yet cold and calculating, driven by ambition and acting in a way that he believes to be "right," despite how depraved it actually might be.
There are a lot of actors that I think could give us the ideal Lex. Ideally, since LexCorp has already been established, Lex should probably be an actor no younger than his late 30s, though I suppose he could be one of those Zuckerberg types who made a fortune at a very young age.
I'm almost 100% sure it will be someone that NONE of us have even thought about, but here are some names for the hell of it:

Damian Lewis

WOW. This chick Jessi came by ready to party for real. As soon as I opened the door she was all about flashing the password to gain entrance. With those set of perky round big tits, I would have been a fool not to let her in. So we go upstairs to get down with the get down. There she strips down to her birthday suit and shows off that pretty shaved pussy of hers. The type that looks so good your mouth waters. Jessi was all about it too. Could not wait for Jordan to come in and really get the party started quickly, right. Setting it off with a messy wet blowjob that turned into some great sweaty fucking for us to enjoy was incredible. I can not wait for the next party that Jessi comes too. Hopefully she will bring along some friends. Enjoy.

This is a good recipe to tweak to your preference. I made it as is but we like our veggies a little more cooked, so the second time around sauteed them in a little olive oil and butter. Mixed ...
This is very good and enjoyed by all; however, when I make it again, will substitute sour cream for the mayonaise, and bread crumbs for the potato chips.
Execellent and satisfying for those "calories-be-damned" days when you need a tummy-warming meal. This is a great fall/winter meal when cold chicken salad just won't cut it.

MABEN – Spring football is often about finding hidden gems ready to shine during the upcoming football season.
That could not have been truer for the East Webster Wolverines, who spent the practice sessions without a few key players due to postseason baseball action.
"A lot of our kids were still in baseball so we worked several kids, who wouldn't normally get all the reps in the spring," East Webster coach Doug Wilson said. "We got a lot of hitting done, a lot of reps, learned a lot of base plays and we feel good about what took place. It was a little different not having everybody out there, but we found some extra linemen and had several kids step up to fill some positions that needed filling from the seniors we lost last year."

It's even more complex than Mr. Wrenn lets on.

And that James Meredith would be the same James Meredith who, having benefited from the civil-rights movement, later disavowed it, saying, "Nothing could be more insulting to me than the concept of civil rights."

Development of a Multi-spectral and Polarimetric Technique for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)

Research Institute:
AbstractPassive electro-optical (EO) imaging of submerged submarines has been the subject of research for almost three decades. Previous efforts, which have focused on the use of passive, multi-spectral imaging methods to detect, classify, and localize submerged submarines, have been hampered by scene clutter and false alarms due to sea foam. Including polarization will enhance the multi-spectral techniques by splitting the signal content into polarized and unpolarized bands. This has the potential to increase detection performance by helping to isolate the surface clutter due to surface reflection of skylight from the scattering of sunlight by white water and the upwelling light from below the surface. Areté proposes to modify its previously developed and validated simulation and performance code to incorporate detailed knowledge of the multi-spectral, polarimetric sensor technology, with an emphasis on the Electro-Optic Passive ASW System (EPAS). The upgraded code will be used to conduct a rigorous, analytical assessment of the expected performance of a multi-spectral, polarimetric sensor suitable for use aboard either manned or unmanned aircraft conducting Non-Acoustic Anti-Submarine Warfare (NAASW) missions. Proof-of-concept field testing of the concept using such a sensor, which Areté is developing under another Navy contract, would be accomplished during Phase II.BENEFITS: The successful development of a passive, multispectral, polarimetric NAASW sensor will provide the Navy with the capability of detecting and tracking submarines without alerting the submarine to the presence of the searching platform. The multi-spectral, polarimetric (MSP) techniques will enhance the detection performance and reduce false alarms of existing and future systems by reducing surface clutter and false alarms due to sea foam. In addition, a sensor that successfully couples polarization measurements with multi-spectral data will permit operations that increase search rate over current multi-spectral techniques.

Former Toronto winner Wilson starting 8th in Race 1
Jul 13, 2013, 2:39 PM EDT
Folks looking for a dark horse in today's first race of the Honda Indy Toronto doubleheader (3 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network) could do worse than Dale Coyne Racing's Justin Wilson, who's rolling off eighth in today's 85-lap race.
Back in his Champ Car days, Wilson won in 2005 on the 1.75-mile street circuit at Exhibition Place. Additionally, across eight Toronto starts in Champ Car and the IZOD IndyCar Series, he's collected four Top-5 and five Top-10s finishes.
Wilson could have been higher up the grid for today's race – and perhaps more likely to avoid potential problems involving the standing start – if not for an incident involving Takuma Sato that effectively ended his group's qualifying session on Friday.
"It's a shame that Sato's crash brought out the yellow because the No. 19 Boy Scouts of America Honda had a chance at advancing to the Firestone Fast Six," said Wilson. "We were running in the top-10 for most the practice session [Friday] morning, so we know that we have a fast car. It will be interesting to see how things go for the series' first standing start [today]."
Last summer in Toronto, Wilson was in line for another strong result until a mechanical failure occurred on Lap 65 and eventually caused him to go into the wall. He had been running fifth at the time of the problem.
Earlier this morning, he qualified 14th unofficially for tomorrow's second race of the weekend.

This week has been rough, I've been ill for most of it including the glorious Easter Bank Holiday weekend, which has led to boredom, annoyance, depression, as well as a lot of queasiness. So in an attempt to cheer myself up I decided to relive my Caribbean honeymoon to Antigua.
It was only five months ago, but my wedding and honeymoon have become sources of extreme happiness, it used to be when I was down I pinned gorgeous wanderlust pictures of travels I hoped to make, now if I am in need of some cheering up I find just by flicking through my images and videos really does make things better. Do you have something that instantly makes you happy?

Amplifier Technology: The Ongoing Class Struggle
[Feature] The quest for low power consumption with high output power and audio quality continues to drive the "class struggle" in audio amplifier design. The introduction of silicon carbide transistors is one important development in this field, helping to reduce distortions and losses in switching amplifiers. New testing methods challenge conventional wisdom about how best to predict the perceptual effects of amplifier distortion.

Mimecast secures USD62 million investment from Insight Venture Partners
INDUSTRY| Sept. 27, 2012, 10:34 a.m.
Cloud email archiving, security and continuity firm Mimecast has announced that it has secured $62.15 million in Series C funding led by global private equity firm, Insight Venture Partners, with existing investors Dawn Capital also participating. Mimecast plans to use the funding to accelerate the development and deployment of new technology, and to support plans for rapid expansion in the US market.
Founded in the UK in 2003 by Peter Bauer (CEO) and Neil Murray (CTO), Mimecast has grown rapidly, with over 50 percent year on year revenue growth recorded in six of the past nine years. Today, the company has over 6,000 customers globally and over 1.5 million users worldwide.
In South Africa, the operation has continued to grow its market leadership in Cloud email security, netting 31.2% of the market share according to the bi-annual BackChannel Hosted Email Security Report, released in July 2012.
In addition to growing its existing business within the European, American and South African markets, Mimecast intends to use the investment to drive innovations in corporate email. The company's technology has already played an instrumental role in changing the way businesses deploy email; leading the transition from fragmented LAN-based infrastructures to a single platform cloud solution, Unified Email Management (UEM). Mimecast will now focus on continuing this evolution, using its Software-as-a-Service technology to create an Information Banking platform that allows businesses to unlock the inherent value stored within corporate email.

Jing. In Mandarin Chinese, it means energy, essence, excellence and proficiency. That's the principle by which we compile the news and insights we find most important about China.
Jing Daily was started in mid-2009 with the purpose of gathering the latest news about crucial developments and current trends in China's luxury, business, arts, and cultural markets.
Over the past decade, China has emerged as a global economic power. With a middle class now roughly equivalent to the entire U.S. population (and growing), China's consumer market is among the world's largest. But for Westerners looking to do business there — or to simply understand the contemporary culture — China can be a confusing, contradictory, extremely fast-moving, and at times contentious place.
Jing Daily looks at the intersection of luxury and culture in China: the ins and outs of business development there with an eye toward the upscale consumer market, as well as the business of culture — from auctions, museums, and contemporary art to performance, public events, and more.
Jing Daily is for anyone looking to stay on top of luxury and culture in China today.

World Cafe: Keith Richards On 'Some Girls'
An atmosphere of tension surrounded The Rolling Stones when the band got into the studio to record Some Girls, its 16th U.S. release, in 1978. Not only did the group worry that the new waves of disco and punk threatened to pass it by, but Keith Richards was awaiting a serious heroin-trafficking court date that threatened to put him and the group out of commission. The Stones were in trouble.
But, like a great athlete, The Rolling Stones came through in the clutch, producing one of the band's best and best-selling albums. Some Girls accomplished everything it set out to do and more: The album went platinum six times, "Miss You" dominated the disco floors, and "Shattered" and "Beast of Burden" countered any claims of the group's diminishing relevance. Richards even got off on probation.
The 2011 re-release of Some Girls follows a successful 2010 reissue of Exile on Main Street, and features 12 new tracks, many of which are roots and country songs that have been bootlegged and adored by fans for 30 years. Whereas the treasures of the Exile reissue were largely found in the remastering of the original tracks, this album's bonus material adds up to a standout work in its own right. The band proves it's all blues and roots at heart, as in "So Young," Ronnie Wood's slide-guitar feature "No Spare Parts," the MTA shout-out "Do You Think I Really Care," and the slow-train beat of "Claudine." No matter the era of its release, Some Girls retains its pleasant surprises.
In honor of Some Girls' re-release, Keith Richards sat down with WXPN's Michaela Majoun for an interview on today's World Cafe.
