Discussion in 'Fly Swaps' started by Daryle Holmstrom, Aug 4, 2008.
A sad day for sure. So sad to lose so many.
A memorial is to be held today, 2:00pm at Burlington Edison High School for Deputy Jackson. An expected attendance of over 5,000.
OK, got my windows swapped out today, will tie tomorrow pending back ache. Still waiting for Hedburner flies, Bob where are you?
Crap forgot to send em'. Drop off tonite.
Still waiting for MrE Roy flies to arrive.
You should of received them a couple weeks ago. I'll check with the post office tomorrow.
Crap Roy, between putting in windows and moving things around in the house I have them. Will take photos and mail everyones out tomorrow.
Stuck the envelope on your door handle yesterday, did you get them?
Flies are in the mail guys.
Headburner stalks Daryle Holmstom...I was going to do a drop off at DryFlyLarry's in another swap, but I did not want to freak him out.
I'm excited to see the reverse spider variations! Thanks for letting me participate.
DH, just got mine in the mail, wow, what a diverse assortment. So many varieties of the "same" pattern. I am very excited to get them wet. Thanks for letting me tie!
Received mine today ! Great looking assortment :thumb:
Got mine today. Look great! I think I'll have to take them out Sunday and try them out.
got mine today too, great job guys they look real good, gonna have to try some on the spokane, later next week.
Everyone get theirs? Photos in the gallery
nice flies, wonder if they would work in the salt as well? What are the "reverse spiders" suppose to represent?
Peter, I have personally tested the pattern I tied out in the salt. They catch cutt's and coho's.
As soon as I get my lost fly wallet back I'll fill it up and go fish some water. Nice ties, and assortment.

ABSTRACT: The bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica has received considerable attention in recent years because of its potential as an archive of marine palaeoclimate, based on its annually resolved incremental shell growth, longevity, and synchronous growth within populations. The robust interpretation of the archive depends on a detailed understanding of the shell formation process, and this in turn requires a reliable understanding of the shell microstructure. Research into this aspect, however, has so far been relatively limited. This study uses secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) to examine the compositions of the two annually formed growth increments, i.e., a narrow band of relatively slow growth referred to as growth increment I (GI I) and a usually wider accretion called growth increment II (GI II). High resolution composition maps are presented which clearly show lower concentrations of the organic ions 12C14N- and 32S- in GI I relative to GI II. This is consistent with the growth of larger crystallites in GI I, which is clearly demonstrated using a novel analysis method involving focused ion beam (FIB) milling. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis is also presented, and demonstrates that the orientation of the aragonite c-axis is the same in both GI I and GI II, and that the a- and b-axes assume preferred orientations consistent with the known angle of twinning in aragonite. By analyzing individual crystallites it is deduced that the (001) plane is likely to be the mineralizing face in GI I, and that the (011) and (102) planes are low energy interfaces in GI II.Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems 04/2012; 13(4):4002-.

Article: Identification of growth increments in the shell of the bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica using backscattered electron imaging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Annually resolved growth increments in the shell of the bivalve mollusc Arctica islandica have previously been used in combination with geochemical measurements to successfully construct high-resolution proxy records of past marine environmental conditions. However, to ensure the accuracy of these paleoenvironmental reconstructions it is essential that the annual growth series of increments within the examined shells are reliably identified, and can be distinguished from spurious lines caused by nonannual perturbations such as those resulting from storm disturbance. The current methods used for identifying the growth increment series are sometimes compromised because of ambiguity that results from the employed preparation methods. Here it is shown that backscattered electron imaging of polished shell cross sections may be used to clearly discriminate between the two compositionally and structurally distinct increments that comprise 1 year of outer shell growth. This method, involving minimal specimen preparation, is likely to be primarily useful as a validation technique of particular value in cases where increment identification using existing methods is difficult or ambiguous.Journal of Microscopy 01/2011; 241(1):29-36.

ABSTRACT: The nucleus pulposus (NP) of the intervertebral disc develops from the notochord. Humans and other species in which notochordal cells (NCs) disappear to be replaced by chondrocyte-like mature NP cells (MNPCs) frequently develop disc degeneration, unlike other species that retain NCs. The reasons for NC disappearance are unknown. In humans, the change in cell phenotype (to MNPCs) coincides with changes that decrease nutrient supply to the avascular disc. We undertook this study to test the hypothesis that the consequent nutrient stress could be associated with NC disappearance. We measured cell densities and metabolic rates in 3-dimensional cultures of porcine NCs and bovine MNPCs, and we determined survival rates under conditions of nutrient deprivation. We used scanning electron microscopy to examine end plate porosity of discs with NCs and those with MNPCs. Nutrient-metabolite profiles and cell viability were calculated as a function of cell density and disc size in a consumption/diffusion mathematical model. NCs were more active metabolically and more susceptible to nutrient deprivation than were MNPCs. Hypoxia increased rates of glycolysis in NCs but not in MNPCs. Higher end plate porosity in discs with NCs suggested greater nutrient supply in keeping with higher nutritional demands. Mathematical simulations and experiments using an analog disc diffusion chamber indicated that a fall in nutrient concentrations resulting from increased diffusion distance during growth and/or a fall in blood supply through end plate changes could instigate NC disappearance. NCs demand more energy and are less resistant to nutritional stress than MNPCs, which may shed light on the fate of NCs in humans. This provides important information about prospective NC tissue engineering approaches.Arthritis & Rheumatology 04/2009; 60(4):1026-34. DOI:10.1002/art.24407 · 7.87 Impact Factor

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for answers after dropping to 0-2 on the season following their 2010 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals Monday night. Head coach Mike Tomlin, however, doesn't believe that he has to go far to find those answers.
"I believe honestly that the answers are still in that room," said Tomlin during his post game press conference.
One of those answers might just be rookie wide receiver Markus Wheaton, who saw very limited playing time for a second straight game.
"He will be," said Tomlin when asked if Wheaton will be part of those answers moving forward.
The Steelers take on the undefeated Chicago Bears next Sunday night at Heinz Field, so you can expect that Wheaton will likely overtake Jerricho Cotchery on the depth chart this coming week.
To Cotchery's credit, he did have three catches for 59 yards Monday night, but he is not a threat to stretch the field and hasn't been for some time now.
The Steelers need a receiver that can take the top off the coverage so that Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown can both work underneath more. The Steelers lost Mike Wallace to free agency during the offseason and the offense is certainly suffering without him.
With Wheaton now expected to see more playing time, Sanders will likely see more time in the slot when the team uses their 11 personnel grouping.
Wheaton is ready now but I think Haley is not getting it done so I dont think Wheaton will solve anything let Ben call his own plays
If Ben has no run game and the porous line gives him no time…do we have those answers in the room?
Yeah, this is what I don't get about people saying we need to throw it deep. What time do we have? And what receivers? It isn't Sanders, Brown, or Jericho. Quick count on ESPN says 14/37 passes we went deep. Only four of those deep balls connected.
So we better hope Wheaton can bring something. Or perhaps Moye. Otherwise keep sending Heath and Bell positive vibes.
didnt like the play calls at all why throw a one yard pass is beyond me and right at line at that …..running backs just run straight into line where is no hole what play call is that pee wee team could stop that kind a run …just plain bad play calls ….and taylor cant tackle any more and left green catch the chain moving short passes and he even left a guy run all by him self down field for a score his age is showing up more and more ….now tomlin says lets use wheaton why wasnt he used to begin with….and that end around wheaton should had that job but no lets use the slower cotchery ….i thought new center played well i think hes a keeper ….but these play calls are just bad ….
The fumble and that tripping penalty were the game changers. The Bengals came out with momentum and scored 2 tds off those plays. As badly as the offense played I think we coulda won that game if those 2 plays went differently.
Not sure Wheaton is actually ready, since he still seems to be making some bad errors like hesitating on taking the kickoff out the end zone last week. But it's the right move since he seems to have playmaking potential. Hopefully, he learn quickly on the job. Cotchery is reliable, but should be kept as a veteran backup only.
Ike had a stellar game. He personally held one of the best WR's in check. He did miss a tackle in this game but nobody is perfect.
The fumble was huge because it was a 10 point swing. On the penalty play it is hard to say what would have happened but we did lose filed position in the end. The 10 point swings has this game at a tie.
Yeah I know the penalty wasn't a turnover, but it might as well have been one. That was a 33 yd gain to AB, so subtract that, plus the 10 yd penalty, and then Ben takes an 11 yd loss on a 3rd and 20. That's -54 yds and a big momentum swing for the Bengals.
I'm not ready to throw in the towel on this offense just yet. Down 10 with 8 minutes to go, I still thought they had a real chance to win. But they came up short tonight.
Steelers weren't much more effective in the no huddle last night.
That is a big question and really what else could Tomlin say? I hope the answer is in that room. That the O line improves and is able to run and pass block. The Steelers have never really been a West Coast offense style but that type of offense has a lot of quick slants over the middle and gets the ball out quickly. Suffering from the loss of Pouncey and Miller has been huge. Maybe Wheaton offers some relief. But if they can't run, they won't be able to pass either. Not with the current O line.
And also what about the people saying they have to pass because it's a passing league? Well, the Steelers threw 76% of the time. I mean they had to since they couldn't run. But they really need to be able to do both. This shows you have to be able to run the ball or have incredible passing weapons and the threat of the run.
No way you can take Cotchery off the field.. no way
Ha had 162yds and 2TDs last week… Ike held AJGreen to 41yds on 6catches.. that's masterful
Mike Wallace and Bruce Arians are probably laughing their asses off right now.
Yes, it was good to see Moye make a play in the RZ…hopefully they can use him more as the yr goes along.
Cotchery…was the pass too high that he tipped and was picked? I thought he should've caught it…that said…he's solid, but he's not a playmaker…9 targets 3 recp for 59 yds…they have to get Wheaton involved or Brown will barely get 1000 yds this yr.
I'm not either, but it's pretty clear to me now that Paulson is not a blocker at all, decent receiver so I think they need to work with his strength and use him more in the passing game…only 4 targets last night.
The OFC will get better…I thought the OL played okay…one really bad sack imo was on Ben…changed field position in CIN favor.
F. Jones was clearly much quicker to the line than Redman…I like his effort…if Bell has this same kind of burst in real games…a combination of those 2 guys is enough to get the job done. IMO Redman should not be a Steeler any longer.
So we wait until the 3rd freaking game to use Wheaton? Why wasn't he getting snaps the first 2?
Cotch had an uncharacteristic drop for sure, but that INT was Ben's fault, he was overthrowing receivers all night, he was strangely inaccurate
If you watch the game here is what happen for the most part. the Steelers committed to max protect Ben and sent only 3 receivers out sometimes 4. and the Bengals were only rushing 4. Our 3 couldn't beat there 7 that was the ball game. And i have said this before what makes people think that a 6′ 1″ 230lb's power back is going to be able to run behind this line? Can Wheaton make a difference? My answer would be , not with the plays they are running.
There's plenty of blame to go around: poor play-calling, iffy play by receivers, porous run defense at critical times, Paulson's key fumble, and PISS-poor officiating call on the "tripping."
BUT…I'm not hearing enough blame being shifted to Ben. In spite of everything else, his line gave him time to throw and make plays at key times, yet somehow Cotch is wearing the blame for Ben overthrowing him (and Sanders) again and again? That pick was Ben's fault. And once Cincy dropped into zone coverage, it's on Ben to recognize it and exploit it.
That being said, Ben and Todd need to get MUCH more on the same page. The best-drawn play was the keeper run by Ben. He even fooled me watching.
Live I thought it was slightly high but catchable…watching the replay later, I agree the pick was on Ben…too high.
I agree, all good points. I'd be fine with Redman being cut because he is way too slow and defenders swarm all over him as if a free turkey dinner is up for grabs. But, unfortunately I believe his $1.3M salary is guaranteed.
I agree with just about everything you say except the last paragraph. I think Ben and Haley are getting on the same page. Ben just had a poor game last night. The pick was definitely on him, not Cotchery. If Ben had a good game, they actually might have won in spite of the Paulson fumble and BS tripping penalty which were crippling.
Redman…agreed…Bell is already on the 53 so they don't have to do anything, but Redman doesn't seem to have it anymore.
They played their standard 4 man front, but were sending a guy late Bob when they got pressure most of their pressure I thought….Ben just missed quite a few throws last night.
"What makes people think…" Good point…I think F. Jones was much quicker to the line and would get 3+/- yds when Redman would get stuffed for no gain…same OL….F. Jones made the OL look like they will be okay…hopefully Bell carries that same kind of burst to the holes and the running game will be decent.
There's such a big drop off from Paulson to Miller that I need to see him in the lineup, but I'm concerned that Sanders is not going to do enough so Wheaton has to factor imo for this team to make the playoffs.
They need to run a straight west coast offense with a back coming out of the backfield. Wheaton can fill Wallace's old role. He has the speed and has good hands. Start grooming Brian Arnfelt to play guard. He has the quickness and power to be an offensive guard and God knows they need those bad. There is no law that says you can't change a lineman from defense to offense. Where is the creativity to try different things ? Tomlin has no clue. His shortcomings as a coach are now showing since a lot of Cowher's players have gone.
True but when you always have to depend on every thing going to perfection to just be in the game, you are in trouble. There is simply not enough offense to overcome any small setback in a game. Pittsburgh has turned into Cleveland… good defense with no offense. You will not win many games when all you can score is 9 or 10 points.
Todd Haley needs to go. I never liked the hiring of him. His type of offense might be good at a college level but not the pros. Let's face it, there are more issues than just him. But Let Haley go, fine someone to fill in the rest of the season and give Ben more control over play calling. Offensive line is terrible even with Pouncey. He is a great player but the only one. Running backs, are not worth their contracts. Redman needs to be shown the door. To slow and no heart!
Exactly. Those 2 plays cost us that game. Ugh..
Blame is to spread all around. Haley had only two or three bad playcalls.So compared to the TN game, his playcalling was better. But his blame is more for the way he uses personnel. Not using Wheaton when time and time again Sanders showed a lack of chemistry with Ben on sideline passes (Ben mentioned WRs complaining about the lights!!!!!) . Sanders is OK on those passes in the middle of the field. Yet, Crotchery and Sanders kept being used for sideline passes and for whatever reasons they were not on the same page with Ben and I think that wore on Ben who was to blame for all the mistaks in teh 4th Q though I blame his WRs for the earlier Qs.
The OL was a joke inm th erunning game. I was a Redman fan. But it is clear, whether due to injury or not, he is not effective anymore. Why do you keep wasting downs with him?
This is the weakest receiving corps since the late 90s days. Antonio is a #2 Wr being paid inexiplcably #1 Wr money by a desperate Colbert who lost his marbles the last two years. Colbert foolishly caved in and matched Sanders 2.5M offer and lost a potential 3rd round pick (I highly doubt Sanders will net the Steelers anything more than a 5th round comp pick in free agency) from NE. There is hope with Wheaton and Moye and this coaching staff refuses to use them for two games for more than a snap or two. Let's find out if they can play.
And Paulson does not even feel desperate enough to look and recover his fumble when he was right next to the loose ball. Even if he thought he made the catch, why not be sure?
I dont miss Wallace. for that money, he was not the only game in town. Steelers could be targeting big cheaper WRs like the one that Denver has. How did Denver manage to stockpile all those big guys? Onloy D Thomas is a first rounder. Free agency and trades are not bad tools. Colbert used to believe in them at one time. Now we get stuck in the some weird concept of what the Steelers way is supposed to be. No big trades. No decent free agency moves(like Hartings, Farrior, hell, even Mewelde).
Felix is an upgrade but the dude is a pitiful blocker. Pick your poison. And how do we even know Bell will help as some on this board seem to think is a sure thing. Decastro was supposed to be this great guard and he is not looking any better than Foster was his rookie year.
Then where the hell was he???
Wheaton is faster than Sanders!! Those fly patterns to Sanders would have been to an open Wheaton. Poor coaching.
Where the hell is he?!?!?!? What are they waiting for? Are they afraid that if they put him in the game, we may lose????
Ridiculous. Coaching staff is failing at a new level of ineptness.
Before the season began, I had it in my head that it would take a few games, maybe 5-6 before the O-line and Bell got into a groove.
Now, I think this is just a development year for the offense, which is a bummer for Ben as he has now lost two years in his career where he would have been very effective if Haley had not come along.
I do not believe this offense could score in the CFL. 0-4 looks probable and possibly 4-12 on the year
Why is Redman even on this team? Seems he can't run for more than one yard on a carry.

VIEWS: 253 PAGES: 12 CATEGORY: Business & Economics POSTED ON: 5/22/2010 Public Domain
India has been a host to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for over a hundred years. Despite a long history, FDI in the retail sector was not officially allowed, even partially, till more than one and a half decades after the trade liberalization in early nineties. The retail trade sector is quite important in Indian economic perspective, contributing nearly 10% of GDP and employing around 8% of the labour force. According to Euro monitor, the retail sector in India is the second largest employer after agriculture and as Indian economy is booming, so is the retail sector. But unlike other sectors, FDI in retail has not yet reached the significant level. In 1993, the then finance minister Dr. Manmohan Singh first opened the door to FDI in retail trade. In February 2005, the new Government decided to allow 51% FDI in the single brand retailing. The main fear of FDI in retail sector is that it will disrupt the livelihood of the people engaged in this trade. However, so many positive points are also there in favour of FDI in Indian retail service. Against this background the present paper makes an attempt to study the current scenario of FDI in Indian retail highlighting the positive and negative impacts of it in the Indian Economy.

I made mine with Smart Balance butter substitute & Egg Beaters & they were STILL great! Plus with all that natural fiber, they're so good FOR you
This recipe turned out just like I expected it to. They came out perfectly after about twelve minutes. My only complaint is the high fat content, from all the butter plus high-fat peanut butte...
Good, but I used whole wheat flour and they came out burned at 15 minutes. Better at 10-12 minutes

In the Garden
When to water?
Days when temperatures climb into triple digits followed by evenings with fast-moving thunder storms can leave beginning gardeners unsure about whether or not to add supplemental water to their vegetable gardens.
The general rule of thumb is that plants need about one inch of water a week either from rain or irrigation or a combination of the two.
The amount of water can vary depending on the type of soil in the garden, but the objective is to wet the soil to a depth of 5 or 6 inches and not water again until the top few inches begin to dry out.
"Your garden needs to be watered deeply,"says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "And that requires some time.
"Some people think sprinkling water with a hose for a few minutes and wetting the surface of the soil will be enough,"she adds,"but deep watering is not something you can do for 10 minutes and be done."
Taking the time to water plants deeply can make them more resistant to droughts because the plants develop deep roots.
"Watering a little bit every day encourages shallow roots," says Sanderson, "So plants dry out quicker. And watering every day helps surface seeds, which are usually weeds, to germinate and grow."
Sanderson cautions that every garden is different, so gardeners need to check their soil to see when to water. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often, while a clay soil can hold moisture longer. Organic matter that you can add by incorporating it at tilling or by top dressing plants with compost can help soil hold moisture.
"You can use a rain gauge to see how much rain water your garden is getting," says Sanderson. "Or use a soil meter to see how dry the soil is."
"Fingers are also wonderful things to check soil moisture,"she adds. "Or use a trowel to pull back some soil and check for moisture."
The best time to water is in the morning when cooler temperatures mean less water will be lost to evaporation. Watering early also allows foliage that gets wet to dry before nightfall.
"It's better to water at the roots,"says Sanderson. "More water gets to the plant, and you have fewer issues with disease caused by moisture on the leaves."
If time is an issue, busy gardeners can use soaker hoses that allow water to slowly seep out all along their length. Placed at the base of plants and left on for sufficient time, soaker hoses can provide the deep watering that plants need.
"It's also a great idea to mulch your plants,"says Sanderson. Mulch conserves moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and can prevent backsplash on leaves during watering. Plus mulching helps to control weeds that compete for the soil's moisture.
Sanderson adds that these watering principles also apply to landscape plants.
"Usually, established plants are fine," she says,"but when you have these hot, hot days, it's a good idea to keep your eye on your plants to see if you need to water."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
06 May 2013 17:28 GMT | Sport, Tennis, Australia, Austria, Belarus
Maria Sharapova survived a sticky start to move into the second round of the WTA Madrid Open on Monday with a 7-5, 6-2 win over Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania.
The Russian, who won the French Open on clay last year, brought a 16-match winning streak on the surface into Madrid and was strongly favoured to coast past a player who has been dogged by knee injuries.
But she struggled at times in the first set before finding her range in the second.
Making adjustments
It had all been about adjusting to the dirt surface and the particular demands of playing in Madrid, Sharapova said.
"I feel like in the last week I've really had to adjust to the different circumstances and the environment a bit," she said.
"When I got here it was really cold and the ball and the court were really heavy.
"A few days have passed and it's like a whole 'nother tournament.
"For me, it's just been about adjusting when you play indoors for over a week and you get back here and see the sun for the first time. It's a bit of an adjustment.
"The altitude as well. So I think there are a lot of things that come into playing when you're playing here."
The stakes are high for Sharapova in Spain as she could regain the world number one spot from Serena Williams if the results go her way.
Williams won through in straight sets on Sunday and the two could face off in the championship match at the end of the week.
Stosur out
If Sharapova and Williams safely won through to the second round, the same could not be said of some of the other seeds.
Both Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark and China's Li Na crashed out on Sunday and Monday saw the end for Australia's Samantha Stosur as she lost 7-6 (9/7), 6-2 to home hope Carla Suarez Navarro.
The 2011 US Open champion was competitive in the first set, but, once she lost that on a tie-break, her game unravelled and she was outplayed by the Spaniard, who lost the final of the WTA tournament in Portugal on Saturday to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia.
Sixth seeded German Angelique Kerber came safely through with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Alize Cornet of France, while former world number one Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, seeded third, was scheduled to play later against Pavlyuchenkova.
In early action in the men's tournament, Japan's 14th seed Kei Nishikori was too good for Jurgen Melzer of Austria winning at a canter 6-3, 6-2.

How Bitcoin's Technology Could Revolutionize Intellectual Property Rights
From CoinDesk:
The bitcoin block chain is well known for its use as a ledger for digital currency transactions, but it has the potential for other, more radical uses too – uses that are only now beginning to be explored.
The online service Proof of Existence is an example of how the power of this new technology can have applications far beyond the world of finance, in this case, giving a glimpse of how bitcoin could one day have a substantial impact in the fields of intellectual property and law.
Although in its initial stages, Proof of Existence can be used to demonstrate document ownership without revealing the information it contains, and to provide proof that a document was authored at a particular time.
. . . .
Proof of Existence allows users to upload a file and pay a transaction fee to have a cryptographic proof of it included on the bitcoin block chain. The actual file is not stored online and therefore does not risk unwanted publication of the user's material.
After anonymously uploading the document and paying the network fee, a hash of the document (or any other type of digital file) is generated as part of the transaction.
. . . .
This, in effect, uses the public and ledger-like nature of the block chain to store the proof of your file, which can later be verified should an issue of authorship or dating arise.
"Basically, by inserting the cryptographic hash of the document in a transaction, when that transaction is mined into a block, the block timestamp becomes the document's timestamp," said Aráoz.
As well as time-stamping, Proof of Existence is also a way to make sure that files are what they are supposed to be.
As Proof of Existence says: "All we store is a cryptographic digest of the file, linked to the time in which you submitted the document. In this way, you can later certify that the data existed at that time."
. . . .
Given this potential, it's possible that the implications of solutions like Proof of Existence might be even more valuable than the per-bitcoin price many investors are fixated upon today.
Digital property can sometimes also be considered intellectual property, and block chain technologies could essentially prove ownership of such digital property, according to Aráoz, who explained:
"For example, if you are writing a paper or you have an idea for a patent, in some cases you need to prove that you owned the idea or the paper before someone else."
Link to the rest at CoinDesk and thanks to L for the tip.
PG always likes cool new digital ways of doing old tasks, but he has to point out a couple of things:
1. For copyright purposes, there is seldom a problem with two people coming up with the same copyrightable work at the same time.
Remember, you don't copyright ideas, you copyright the unique expression of ideas. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl (or the reverse or Tramp meets Lady or amoeba meets amoeba) is not copyrightable because it's just an idea. There are a zillion different copyrighted books, short stories, poems, movies and TV shows based upon the identical idea or variations thereof.
You'll want to register your book with the US copyright office under any circumstances, so you may as well use them to certify when you wrote the book because they're the gold standard.
2. For patent purposes, the US formerly had a first-to-invent standard where the first person to invent a patentable item was entitled to obtain the patent. This lead to some epic fights when inventors were independently working in the same field at the same time. Litigation about who first invented the laser, for example, relied on hand-dated notebooks describing elements of the invention.
While first-to-invent made for better stories, in 2013, the US joined most of the remainder of the world in awarding patents to the first inventor to file an application describing the invention, not the first to invent.
3. Finally, although PG loves this use of the BitCoin algorithm, if you search for digital notary on Google, you'll find lots of other ways of obtaining a reliable and tamperproof or tamper-resistant date stamps on a document like a manuscript.

Had Sisko Always Been Command Track

Re: Had Sisko Always Been Command Track
It's quite possible that future science has determined that learning calculus is the easiest and most intuitive at that age, and grows more difficult in later years - much like certain century-old beliefs about teaching languages are currently challenged and earlier-is-better arguments put forth.
But future science might have found similar shortcuts to the learning of medicine or comparable fields. Or then it's simply a technology issue: rather than inefficient lectures, one gets the facts from interactive media - and needs much fewer facts (relatively or even absolutely) because the entire pool of facts is now available to one, pre-digested, through various expert programs and whatnot, and cramming it into one's brain would only be counterproductive.
Any good scifi ought to tackle the problems of general education in a world that offers way too much for any poor pupil's brain to cope with, and grows worse in that respect by the day. Should only absolutely necessary things be taught, tailored for each pupil so as not to overload him? Would novel education techniques help? Should no facts be taught at all, because the time would be much better spent teaching the pupil to learn by himself? Centralized classroom-style education obviously survives in Star Trek, but AFAWK only as a hobby project for the well-intentioned but potentially utterly incompetent Keiko O'Brien...

The CCM Tacks Grip Hockey Stick is the premier offering in the new Tacks Stick Line.

The Tacks hockey sticks come with a traditional mid kick point that is ideal for the player who likes to heavily load up and lean into their shots; regardless if it's a snap or a slap shot.
A stick with a ton of power is useless if it isn't accurate, which is why CCM heavily focused on building a blade that will stay true to it's target instead of opening up on big shots. Their new AttackFrame™ Blade features a stiff outer frame with two additional support bridges that run from heel to toe. This stiff and rigid design translates directly into deadly accuracy and precision with explosive shot power.
- Heritage: New

The Bauer Supreme TotalONE MX3 Hockey Sticks are the premier offering from the third generation Bauer Supreme Line. The MX3 Stick features Supreme's signature Amplified Mid Kick Point that provides one of the most powerful shots in all of hockey. Bauer utilized their new PowerSense 2 Blade Core Technology that provides excellent puck feel and squeezes every drop of power out of big booming shots. The Youth Stick Length is 45" and is available in 40 flex with a clear stick finish.
The CCM RBZ SuperFast Grip Hockey Stick is the premier model in the 3rd generation RBZ Stick Line. The RBZ SuperFast Stick features TaylorMade SpeedPocket Blade Technology that generates more C.O.R. (Coefficient of Restitution) than any other stick on the market, not to mention it has 50% more C.O.R. than the previous RBZ Stage 2. Simply put, more C.O.R. equals more power; resulting in the fastest shot from a CCM stick to date. The Youth Stick Length is 47.5" and is available in a 35 flex with a grip stick finish.
The CCM Ultra Tacks Grip Hockey Sticks are the flagship model in the 2nd generation Tacks Line. This Ultra Tacks stick showcases CCM's new Bumper Technology that takes durability to the next level. During the construction process, extra material reinforces the inner corners of the shaft, preventing micro-fractures from developing and the carbon from separating. The Youth Stick Length is 47" and is available in a 35 flex with a grip stick finish.
The Easton Synergy HTX Grip Hockey Sticks feature the innovative HyperTune™ Technology that matches a blade's stiffness profile to it's shaft's stiffness profile.

Argentina's Supreme Court Rules Sanctions for the Possession of Marijuana Unconstitutional
The Argentine Supreme court ruling that declares unconstitutional the imposition of criminal sanctions for the possession of small quantities of marijuana for personal use represents an important step toward distinguishing between drug use and drug trafficking.
>Download this press release as PDF
Washington, D.C., Amsterdam, Lima (August 26, 2009) – The Argentine Supreme court ruling that declares unconstitutional the imposition of criminal sanctions for the possession of small quantities of marijuana for personal use represents an important step toward distinguishing between drug use and drug trafficking. This judicial decision adds to the recent changes emerging throughout the continent (Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil) to improve current drug policies, which have been disproportionately aimed at combating the supply of drugs, according to the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), the Research Center Drugs and Human Rights (CIDDH), and the Transnational Institute (TNI).
"It is significant that the ruling was unanimous," says Martin Jelsma, Drugs and Democracy Program Coordinator at TNI. "It confirms the paradigm shift seen throughout the continent, which recognizes that drug consumption should be treated as a public health issue, unlike in the past when everyone involved, including the users, were seen as criminals."
TNI, CIDDH and WOLA support the emphasis made in the ruling for the need to implement more policies in the areas of health and social development in order to prevent and reduce the problems associated with illicit drug markets.
The Court urges: "All instances of government to ensure a State policy against illicit drug trafficking and to adopt preventative health measures – including information and education to dissuade people from drug use – geared primarily at vulnerable groups, especially minors, in order to adequately comply with the international human rights
treaties to which our county subscribes."
The Court Order refers to a specific case of youths sentenced for possession of marijuana. At issue was the application of article 14, paragraph 2, of Argentine law 23,737, which establishes sentences from one month to two years for possession for personal use. Although the Court Order does not specifically reference other substances, most of the arguments are applicable to other kinds of drugs, thus opening the judicial door to drug law reform in Argentina.
It is expected that a bill will soon be introduced in the Argentine Congress, which, if approved, would decriminalize the possession of drugs for personal use. In many countries, such initiatives have raised fears of an increase in drug use or crime. However, countries that have gone through similar processes demonstrate that in reality the opposite is often the case.
"Latin America is disappointed with the results of the current drug policy and is exploring alternative policies," says Ricardo Soberón, Director of the Lima-based Research Center Drugs and Human Rights. "There is no need to make speculations based on fear. Rather we should study the countries that have decriminalized drug possession for personal use and analyze the results."
Last week, Mexico enacted a law decriminalizing the possession of small quantities of drugs for personal use, and a similar effort is being developed in Ecuador. The law in Mexico can serve as an example for the continent as to what should and should not be done with regards to these kinds of laws. This Mexican law is positive in that it decriminalizes the drug user and brings drug addicts closer to the health system; however it places too much emphasis on the amount of drugs found on an individual, establishing very specific small quantities (less than 0.5 grams of cocaine, 0.05 grams of heroine, 5 grams of marijuana, etc.). This leaves open the possibility that consumers who possess a little more than the quantities stipulated will be considered small-scale traffickers and will thus be wrongfully imprisoned, and even sanctioned with harsher sentences introduced in the new law. In the case of Colombia, the Constitutional Court declared in 1994 that imposing sanctions for drug possession for personal use goes against constitutional principals and made reference to the quantities of 20 grams of marijuana and 1 gram of cocaine.
A great number of countries focus on identifying the intention of the individual in possession of drugs, instead of simply the quantities possessed. In Uruguay, for example, judges have discretion to determine whether the intention of the person is to consume or sell the drugs. Brazil decriminalized possession of drugs with a law that came into effect in 2006. Last year, a court in Sao Paulo declared that imposing sanctions for possession of drugs for personal use was unconstitutional and it also recognized that the quantity of the drug in possession should not be a determining factor for distinguishing between a user and a trafficker. To read more about this case, see the new publication in the WOLA/TNI Series on Legislative Reform of Drug Policies.
"Decriminalization allows for the distinction between a user and a drug trafficker," says John Walsh, Senior Associate for the Drug Policy Program at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA). "This allows governments to focus their efforts on reducing the terrible harm caused by the large criminal networks and the violence related to illicit trafficking, instead of repressing users and small-scale traffickers."

Publisher's Description
Olivia Mott didn't intend to lie. Somehow, it just happened. And wasn't it all Lady Charlotte's fault anyway?
Now Olivia's position as assistant chef at Pullman's elegant Hotel Florence is dependant upon her keeping her secrets. And sometimes lies have a way of leading to other lies. Should Olivia admit her real past and accept the consequences or keep quiet in order to preserve her comfortable new circumstances?
Deception seems to be part of everyday life in the company town of Pullman, Illinois, where the grand Pullman Palace Car is manufactured. Samuel Howard, Olivia's friend and the town manager, seems to think everything is fine, but Olivia observes something quite different. Could it be that Olivia is not the only one harboring secrets?
Author Bio
Olivia Mott is a helper in the kitchen of an earl and his wife in London, England. When she is advanced upon by the chef, she decides it is time to leave. The earls daughter has the perfect idea for both of them to escape, but her plan requires many lies.
The two women end up in Pullman, Illinois, and through more lies, Olivia becomes the assistant chef in the local hotels kitchen. Charlotte finds that she is pregnant with an illegitimate child.
The rest of the book follows the exhausting efforts of Olivia to memorize the lies she has told. However, she continually loses ground and soon finds herself even losing the man she loves because of her deceit. In the most unforgettable scene of the book, Fred, who has been courting her, tells Olivia that they must break off their relationship because he could never pursue a woman he doesnt trust.
In the Company of Secrets examines the consequences of sin, especially lying, as well as chronicles the journey of Olivia to faith in Christ. Olivia must constantly battle her feelings of guilt before she will even accept the forgiveness of God; even then, she has a hard time believing that He would want to listen to her prayers. When Olivia does decide to be truthful, she experiences Gods forgiveness while finding that the consequences of her sins cannot be easily escaped.
Although the book does not end with all the loose ends happily tied up, it does leave the reader with a sense that in the end, all will be well. Judith Miller leaves the reader with the promise that God will be faithful as his followers continue to be obedient to him. The book was an excellent challenge to follow the advice of Mark Twain: Always tell the truth. That way, you dont have to remember what you said. Jenni Ritschard, Christian Book Previews.com

Lite Reader3 Stars Out Of 5No ending in the first volume; must buy more booksJune 30, 2014Lite ReaderQuality: 3Value: 5Meets Expectations: 2First, I didn't realize this was one of a series of books based on the primary character. Normally other books I've read end with a conclusion of the main characters and then continue with the secondary characters in another volume. However, this book leaves you with no ending and you are forced to purchase the next book etc. (No doubt this is the plan of the author). Having said that; I did enjoy the storyline, but do not appreciate the "need to make multiple purchases" in order to come to a finish.
