26 year old man | Wake Forest, NC, USA | Seeking women 21-28 within 50 miles
A hopeless romantic looking for hope
I believe in 100% honesty. So lets get this started: *I live with my parents. It's for personal reasons. My grandma also sometimes lives with us. Again, personal reasons. If you care to know the details, just ask. If you say that you believe in family in your profile then this shouldn't be a big deal. I'm not a mooch and I don't just lay around and do nothing. I have a job, a car, goals, etc... and I don't plan on living with them forever. Again, I have my reasons and I know that they are the right reasons. *I have two jobs: First, I'm a bartender at Rosati's pizza pub. It's a fun gig. I get to meet and talk to interesting people. I'm a very social person and use those skills to make good tips. Second, I'm an editor of a sports website. So I'm also up to date on the latest in sports. *I'm good at remembering important dates and moments. It's a gift. But also a curse if I ever forget something, haha. *My friends would say that I'm funny and kind. I'm not afraid to embarrass myself because if you can't make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of? I'll always stick up for and look out for my good friends. *I'm a good listener. *I always open the door for others or hold it open for the next person/people. As long as they aren't too far behind. *I try to better myself every day. Whether it be socially, mentally, physically, personally, or professionally. *I sing in my car like I'm performing for a sold out crowd. *I'm looking for someone who is kind and positive. I've been around enough negativity in my life and it gets tiring. I'm a positive person who likes to make others around my happy. So I like being around happy people. Just don't sing that Pharrell song too much. *My kindle rarely leaves my side. I love reading and I love having all my books in one place. *I speak fluent sarcasm. I'm just waiting on them to invent the font. *I rarely fight with my true friends. But I'll always fight for and beside them. *I'm an open book, so if you want to know more, just ask.

In recent years, this blog has made great sport of criticizing the MinnPost's coverage of Second Amendment issues, noting that much of their coverage has been both anti-gun and comically poor, and pointing out they are sponsored by the Joyce Foundation, which actively sponsors many anti-gun groups (including Protect MN here in Minnesota, and the national-scoped "Violence Policy Center", or "VPC").
On the other hand, Joyce has sponsored the work of reporter Mike Cronin, who is three parts into a series on America's gun culture (check out his installments so far on his introduction to shooting, attending a permit training class with Andrew Rothman, and his conversations with violence victims). The series, thus far, is genuinely fair and balanced; I've talked with Cronin, and he seems interested in keeping it that way. That's all to the good.

Known for its no-frills decor, this Palermo Soho stalwart is where generations of locals have been coming to dine. It's located inside a soccer club of the same name and draws its clientele from club members, neighborhood residents, and pretty much anyone who wants honest cooking that doesn't put a dent in their budget. While the menu features three different pastas and a dozen items off the parrilla (grill), your waiter will tell you what's actually available for the day.

If you want to avoid the risk of eating at a tourist trap, this is the place for you. Housed in a community center/gymnasium (while waiting for my table I watched soccer practice and tango lessons), the atmosphere feels like a spaghetti dinner at the local volunteer fire house, if the firehouse were in Italy. The antithesis of fancy, but great home style food at unbelievably low prices. I had a very basic salad, a delicious steak, veggie and fabulous
cheese stuffed pasta with red sauce, a split of red wine and dessert for under $10! Aside from the food the best part was watching the people - a wide mix of everything from kids through great grandparents. Staff spoke sufficient English to let any gringo order and the service was warm and friendly.

The food is good, like at home. People are friendly, mostly from the neighbourhood. Ideal if you are looking for a picturesque place far away from the fancy restaurants all over Palermo.

Reflecting on what ELs bring to the table, it dawned on me that we bring a great deal of traits that our predecessors don't readily recognize as value-added skills. For example, an exceptional skill that ELs possess that is traditionally considered "bad" is that we job hop. For experienced professionals, job hopping equals lack focus or direction, a wanderlust not easily sated in one position, a penchant for constant change and lack of commitment and passion for what we do. But I know that the real reason ELs change jobs quickly is because we are constantly seeking to develop ourselves. We are committed to improvement in a way that other generations did not and may not ever understand.
The Leaders of tomorrow are nimble and adapt to an ever changing career landscape. No other generation has seen so much change in industry, workforce and technology the way we have. No other generation has seen, and in some cases, experienced firsthand, the lack of loyalty from organizations. And no other generation will have to face the growing fact that our leaders are aging and eventually will have to hand the reins to someone else, who will likely be…younger.

Distant rumours
I heard loosely that there's an up and coming AIC for NVIDIA to supposedly replace one of the one's that may not be working out too well. this company apparently is getting drivers hand crafted by NVIDIA to support a quad gpu video card. the drivers apparently make a connection to NVIDIA in some way everytime they're loaded or "something". the details are not specific. just the notion of a quad gpu video card is kind of intriguing i suppose. also those hand crafted NVIDIA Linux drivers apparently support another form of SLI rendering currently not available to us (this is all rumor.)

SAN FRANCISCO, CA About 65 million years ago, an asteroid or comet crashed into a shallow sea near what is now the Yucatn Peninsula of Mexico. The resulting firestorm and global dust cloud caused the extinction of many land plants and large animals, including most of the dinosaurs. At this week's meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco, MBARI researchers will present evidence that remnants from this devastating impact are exposed along the Campeche Escarpmentan immense underwater cliff in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
The ancient meteorite impact created a huge crater, over 160 kilometers across. Unfortunately for geologists, this crater is almost invisible today, buried under hundreds of meters of debris and almost a kilometer of marine sediments. Although fallout from the impact has been found in rocks around the world, surprisingly little research has been done on the rocks close to the impact site, in part because they are so deeply buried. All existing samples of impact deposits close to the crater have come from deep boreholes drilled on the Yucatn Peninsula.
In March 2013, an international team of researchers led by Charlie Paull of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) created the first detailed map of the Campeche Escarpment. The team used multi-beam sonars on the research vessel Falkor, operated by the Schmidt Ocean Institute. The resulting maps have recently been incorporated in Google Maps and Google Earth for viewing by researchers and the general public.
Paull has long suspected that rocks associated with the impact might be exposed along the Campeche Escarpment, a 600-kilometer-long underwater cliff just northwest of the Yucatn Peninsula. Nearly 4,000 meters tall, the Campeche Escarpment is one of the steepest and tallest underwater features on Earth. It is comparable to one wall of the Grand Canyonexcept that it lies thousands of meters beneath the sea.

In its funding opportunity announcements (DOE, 2008 and 2009), DOE requested that the assessment groups determine the "maximum practicably extractable energy," which the committee originally interpreted as equivalent to the practical resource called for in the conceptual framework. After discussion with both DOE and the assessment groups, the committee concluded that the groups had interpreted "maximum practicably extractable energy" to mean the technical resource and that DOE did not expect the assessment effort to incorporate site-specific information needed to quantify the practical resource.
While a determination of the practical resource is beyond the scope of the tasks assigned by DOE, the committee sees the constraints represented by the socioeconomic and environmental filters as being among the most important considerations influencing future MHK investments. Box 1-3, which discusses these types of constraints on the development of solar energy, is presented as an example of what might be needed to assess the MHK practical resource. These filters are also central to evaluating the potential maximum contribution of MHK to U.S. electricity generation. The socioeconomic and environmental filters that need to be considered in an assessment of the MHK resource are described further in Chapter 7.
BOX 1-3 Determining the Difference Between the Theoretical and Practical Resource: Solar Energy as a Case Study
Assessing the potential for a particular renewable technology to address U.S. energy needs based on the theoretical resource alone would be inappropriate. As an example, solar power plants (which were first constructed nearly 30 years ago) currently provide less than 0.1 percent of the electricity consumed in the United States despite having a theoretical resource base that is orders of magnitude larger than current U.S. electricity consumption (EIA, 2012). While national-scale resource assessments may be useful for identifying geographic regions of interest for a particular MHK extraction technology, the practical resource will depend on a host of technical and environmental factors and may be significantly lower than what the assessments indicate is regionally or locally available. A survey of annual total energy outputs from several existing solar plants indicates that the ratio of plant outputs to the locally available theoretical resource ranges from as little as 2 percent for photovoltaics to as much as 12 percent for concentrated solar (National Renewable Energy Laboratory [NREL], available at http://www.nrel.gov/gis/solar.html; EIA, available at http://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/eia923/index.html). It is not possible to predict the practical MHK resource from national resource assessments until the constraints posed by both the technical extraction filters and the practical socioeconomic and environmental filters are better quantified for each of the specific resources.

Ribbon coat rack is designed by Hemal Patel for HeadSprung. It is a wall-mounted coat rack with amazing sculptural quality. That is to say, an aesthetic object that has a utilitarian purpose as well.
The form of the rack is inspired by a ribbon blowing in the wind. It is a hand-made item constructed in India by craftsmen. Thus, all racks are released in limited numbers and two units can hardly be 100% identical.
HeadSprung believes that home is a place where people spend most of their daily lives and as so it needs to be decorated with beautiful and selected design items. The ribbon coat rack is one of them and looks like a work of art ideal for the decoration of your space. It has a contemporary design and is made of powder coated mild steel.
It is a piece very easy to install. You only need to use four screws and wall plugs, all included in the package. Each screw is powder-coated to color match the coat rack in order to provide a seamless, quality finish. When hanging your items on it, it becomes a practical wall hanger but when it is empty, it looks like a unique and modern piece of art.

Product description
In the tradition of international bestsellers Future Shock and Megatrends, Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, brings The Mobile Wave, a groundbreaking analysis of the impact of mobile intelligence the fifth wave of computer technology. The Mobile Wave argues that the changes brought by mobile computing are so big and widespread that it s impossible for us to see it all, even though we are all immersed in it. Saylor explains that the current generation of mobile smartphones and tablet computers has set the stage to become the universal computing platform for the world. In the hands of billions of people and accessible anywhere and anytime, mobile computers are poised to become an appendage of the human being and an essential tool for modern life. With the perspective of a historian, the precision of a technologist, and the pragmatism of a CEO, Saylor provides a panoramic view of the future mobile world. He describes how: A Harvard education will be available to anyone with the touch of a screen. Cash will become virtual software and crime proof. Cars, homes, fruit, art, and more will be tagged so they can tell you about themselves. Land and capital will become more of a liability than an asset. Buying an item will be as easy as pointing our mobile device to scan and pay. Social mobile media will push all businesses to think and act like software companies. Employment will shift as more service-oriented jobs are automated by mobile software. Products, businesses, industries, economies, and society will be altered forever as the mobile wave washes over us and changes the landscape. With so much change, The Mobile Wave is a guidebook for individuals, business leaders, and public figures who must navigate the new terrain as mobile intelligence changes everything."

Pat, I have complete faith in you...I don't know what the police are honestly thinking; I know you would never do anything like this. Here's hoping you are able to quickly return to carry on the fine quality that so many people have come to respect over the years. I'm busy, but I'm keeping up with events.

SATURDAY, Dec. 4 (HealthDay News) -- A new anti-clotting pill, rivaroxaban (Xarelto), may be an effective, convenient and safer treatment for patients coping with deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), a pair of new studies indicate.
According to the research, published online Dec. 4 in the New England Journal of Medicine, the drug could offer a new option for these potentially life-threatening clots, which most typically form in the lower leg or thigh.
The findings are also slated for presentation Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), in Orlando, Fla.
"These study outcomes may possibly change the way that patients with DVT are treated," study author Dr. Harry R. Buller, a professor of medicine at the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam, said in an ASH news release. "This new treatment regimen of oral rivaroxaban can potentially make blood clot therapy easier than the current standard treatment for both the patient and the physician, with a single-drug and simple fixed-dose approach."
Another heart expert agreed.
"Rivaroxiban is at least as effective as the older drug [warfarin] and seems safer. It is also far easier to use since it does not require blood testing to adjust the dose," said cardiologist Dr. Alan Kadish, currently president of Touro College in New York City.
The study was funded in part by Bayer Schering Pharma, which markets rivaroxaban outside the United States. Funding also came from Ortho-McNeil, which will market the drug in the United States should it gain U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. In March 2009, an FDA advisory panel recommended the drug be approved, but agency review is ongoing pending further study.
The authors note that upwards of 2 million Americans experience a DVT each year. These leg clots -- sometimes called "economy flight syndrome" since they've been as

The group notes that even today's most commonly used method -- in-person identity proofing -- has not been subject to stringent reliability testing. The absence of sound testing data makes it difficult to evaluate the relative benefits or drawbacks of innovative approaches. The Work Group calls on the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in collaboration with other interested agencies, to study current identity-proofing practices to help set benchmarks.
The paper further emphasizes the need for ongoing monitoring to detect fraud and to strengthen trust across entities sharing data based on the consumer's authorization.

X-Men Universe Relationship Map
Contrary to what a lot people might think they know from the movies, the X-Men universe stretches out quite a ways with lots of characters and lots of relationships. This super detailed relationship map for all X-Men characters from UncannyXmen shows just that.
Connections are color-coded to show the type of relationship between a pair of characters. For example, green is a one-sided infatuation, pink is a flirtation by both parties, and a dashed line signifies one of the characters is from an alternative reality. Wolverine sure gets around.

Review: RoamBi, Seeing Your Data on the iPhone
This is a guest review by Peter Robinet of Bubble Foundry, a web design company that specializes in building websites for Web startups.
What It Is
RoamBi is a free data visualization application for the iPhone by MeLLmo. You download datasets to the app and it creates visualizations so you can drill down into the data. The app is pitched as a mobile business tool for viewing sales reports and the like, but the sample visualizations included with the app suggest another possibility: RoamBi could easily be a killer app for statistics-minded sports fans, such as sabermetrics devotees!

Happy Second Birthday, FlowingData
Two years ago on June 25, 2007, I wrote the first post for FlowingData. It was rambling gibberish, and I really had no idea what I was doing. I was just randomly gibbering to no one in particular. It's a little different now. Still random at times, but a little less so.
Somewhat surprisingly, I've only missed a handful of days over the past two years. This will be the 675th post on FlowingData, plus 5,271 comments and another 644 posts in the FlowingData forums. Oh and let's not forget the 26,400 caught spam comments. Thanks, Akismet.

We're also up to almost18,000 subscribers today, which continues to amaze me. FlowingData had 2,600 subscribers at the one-year mark. I can only imagine what FlowingData will be in another year. As you might remember, I had to transfer FlowingData to a better server to keep up with the increase in traffic. This of course wouldn't have been possible without the sponsors. Thanks for the support, sponsors.
Finally, a big thank you to all of you who send me suggestions and share links with others via social media sites like Twitter, Digg, and del.icio.us. You've all helped shape FlowingData into what it is today.
Here's to another year of data.
Does this Calorie Intake Infographic Work? Not Really
How long does it take to burn off the calories from a Big Mac and medium fries or a chocolate chip cookie? Petra Axlund of 5W Infographics shows with this infographic how long you have to exercise, after eating a certain item, to burn it all off.
The red outside track shows the number of calories from the food item, while the inside tracks represent how long it takes for a male or female to burn off those calories with different exercises.
Percentage Problem
While creative, and as they say, visually appealing, it doesn't quite work technically speaking. The primary purpose of this graphic is to compare how long it takes to burn off the calories of a food item with different exercises. However, arc lengths are formed by percentage of an undefined whole, as opposed to count (in this case, calories on the outside and minutes out the outside).
Okay, that last paragraph probably made no sense. Let's look at an example. This issue is most evident in pizza section. According to the graphic, it takes the average male 352 minutes to burn off a pepperoni pizza while it takes just 234 minutes to run it off. Therefore, the running arc for male should be about 2/3 the size of the walking arc if it were a bar chart.
Instead we're comparing percentages, and the running arc sorta looks like it's about 3/4 the size of the walking arc. It'd probably look different if you were to roll out the arcs into bars, but that's too much brain power for me. I'm lazy like that.
How it Could've Worked
I think there's another way to make this graphic work other than making a bunch of bar charts. Instead of graphing minutes to burn off x amount of calories, show number of calories burned after x hours of exercise. It'd still be a little weird and less colorful, but it'd be more informative and easier to compare. It's mostly eye candy and a one-way reference as it is now.
Gosh, I hate to be so critical, but it just doesn't work for me. What do you think?

20 Visualizations to Understand Crime
There's a lot of crime data. For almost every reported crime, there's a paper or digital record of it somewhere, which means hundreds of thousands of data points - number of thefts, break-ins, assaults, and homicides as well as where and when the incidents occurred.
With all this data it's no surprise that the NYPD (and more recently, the LAPD) took a liking to COMPSTAT, an accountability management system driven by data.
While a lot of this crime data is kept confidential to respect people's privacy, there's still plenty of publicly available records. Here we take a look at twenty visualization examples that explore this data. Continue Reading
The Devil is in the Digits?
Photo by Leo Reynolds
Undoubtedly you've been seeing a lot of headlines about the stuff going on in Iran. If you haven't, you must be living under a rock.
One of the huge issues right now is whether or not fraud was involved in the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Wait a minute. Voting? Results? Numbers?
Oh, we have to look at the data for this one. Bernd Beber and Alexandra Scacco, Ph.D. candidates in political science at Columbia University, discuss in their Op-ed for the Washington Post:
The numbers look suspicious. We find too many 7s and not enough 5s in the last digit. We expect each digit (0, 1, 2, and so on) to appear at the end of 10 percent of the vote counts. But in Iran's provincial results, the digit 7 appears 17 percent of the time, and only 4 percent of the results end in the number 5. Two such departures from the average -- a spike of 17 percent or more in one digit and a drop to 4 percent or less in another -- are extremely unlikely. Fewer than four in a hundred non-fraudulent elections would produce such numbers.
Why does this matter? Well humans are bad at making up sequences of numbers. Made-up number sequences look different from real random sequences (e.g. numbers from McCain/Obama). Beber and Scacco go on to describe the details of why the data look fishy. For those of us who've read Freakonomics will recognize the discussion.
The result?
The probability that a fair election would produce both too few non-adjacent digits and the suspicious deviations in last-digit frequencies described earlier is less than .005. In other words, a bet that the numbers are clean is a one in two-hundred long shot.
Now what?

Review: Beginning Python Visualization
Python is a powerful programming language that's good for a lot of things. I mainly use it for data scraping, parsing, munging, etc, and more recently, for the Web, and I've left visualization up to other languages.
But why not use Python for visualization too? That way you can have everything in one language and all the gears can fit together a little easier. Beginning Python Visualization (BPV) by Shai Vaingast is a guide to help you do this.
While you might need a little bit of programming experience to fully make use of this book, Vaingast provides plenty of examples and explanations for you to easily learn how to use Python's visualization options.

The Current State of Social Data
Check out my guest post on The Guardian's Data Blog on the current state of social data applications. There are what seems like a ton of them but none of them have really taken off (yet).
While the post is more of an overview of what's available, I'd like to start a little discussion here on why these data apps haven't gained more popularlity. There always seems be a lot of buzz around launch time, but then it fizzles.
Are people just not interested in interacting with data or do we need to approach the whole social data puzzle from a different angle?

Grammy® nominated music megastar Kevin Jonas and his small town Jersey girl wife Danielle will return to E! for a second season of the popular half-hour reality series MARRIED TO JONAS," produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions. The new season will follow the couple as the Jonas Brothers finish their new album and head back on tour for the first time in three years. Meanwhile, Dani explores starting her own business back in New Jersey and the Jonas and Deleasa families become even more close-knit. Season two of "Married to Jonas" will debut spring 2013 on E!
'We are excited to continue following Kevin and Dani's journey as they juggle love and marriage with pop superstardom and eager in-laws," said Lisa Berger, President, Entertainment Programming, E! "Season two of 'Married to Jonas' will continue to solidify E!'s can't miss Sunday night reality block."
"As we thought they might, Kevin and Dani Jonas proved both relatable and captivating to E! audiences," said show executive producer Ryan Seacrest. "We're excited to continue chronicling their marriage and relationships with extended family and friends in season two. I expect they'll continue to charm and amuse people along the way, generating even more Jonas family fans."
In its first season, "Married to Jonas" gave viewers an intimate, entertaining peek inside the lives of the oldest member of the Jonas Brothers and his down-to-earth girl next door wife Dani. Romantic, funny, heart-felt and always engaging, the series followed the young couple as Kevin reunited in the studio with his siblings, and he and Dani confronted the ups and downs of settling down in New Jersey.
The series was an instant hit with audiences, attracting nearly 1.8 million total viewers to its premiere episode in August 2012.

Letter - Leo James Pollard, to Margaret Malval, Thank You & Capture of Balikpapan, 24 Jul 1945 Reg. No: HT 29722
- Summary:
- Three page hand written letter written by Captain Leo James Pollard of the 2/10 Australian Infantry Battalion to Margaret Malval, dated 24 July 1945. This letter was sent as part of regular correspondence between Margaret and Leo. In this letter, Leo writes of capturing Balikpapan. He describes how the soldiers made themselves quite comfortable after the invasion, until the officials caught up with them. Leo expresses his desire to leave the army: he has had five years of service and two years of operational service and now wishes to return home as he does not want to be part of an invasion of Japan.
Margaret Malval emigrated to the United States of America from Melbourne, Australia in 1935. During World War II she volunteered for the American Women's Voluntary Services and sent packages to Australian soldiers through the Australian Comforts Fund, thereby entering into an exchange of correspondence with a number of Australian soldiers based in the Pacific and in Australia.
- Description:
- A three page letter, single sided, hand written with blue ink on lined paper. The paper has several creases in it where it has been folded in half and then into three uneven pieces.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This collection of letters and cards are significant as they illustrate the continuing ties felt by an emigrant to their country of birth. Margaret Malval was born and grew up in Melbourne, Victoria and moved to the United States of America to be married in 1935, where she lived for the rest of her life. Though her husband served in the United States Armed Forces, Margaret chose to send care packages to Australian soldiers through the Australian Comforts Fund, suggesting she retained strong ties to Australia.
These letters and cards were sent from Australian servicemen to Margaret, initially after receiving a care package from her which she donated through the Australian Comforts Fund. These letters and cards highlight the support of people on the home front for Australian servicemen by sending care packages through organisations like the Australian Comforts Fund, and the response of Australian Servicemen on receipt of these packages. Additionally, this collection also helps tell the stories of the frontline experience of Australian servicemen during World War II.

Scientists from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) published a study today in Nature Climate Change showing that besides marine inundation (flooding), low-lying coastal areas may also be vulnerable to "groundwater inundation," a factor largely unrecognized in earlier predictions on the effects of sea level rise (SLR). Previous research has predicted that by the end of the century, sea level may rise 1 meter. Kolja Rotzoll, Postdoctoral Researcher at the UHM Water Resources Research Center and Charles Fletcher, UHM Associate Dean, found that the flooded area in urban Honolulu, Hawaii, including groundwater inundation, is more than twice the area of marine inundation alone. Specifically, a 1-meter rise in sea level would inundate 10% of a 1-km wide heavily urbanized area along the shoreline of southern Oahu and 58% of the total flooded area is due to groundwater inundation.
"With groundwater tables near the ground surface, excluding groundwater inundation may underestimate the true threat to coastal communities," said Rotzoll, lead author of the study.
"This research has implications for communities that are assessing options for adapting to SLR. Adapting to marine inundation may require a very different set of options and alternatives than adapting to groundwater inundation," states Fletcher, Principle Investigator on the grant that funded the research.
Groundwater inundation is localized coastal-plain flooding due to a simultaneous rise of the groundwater table with sea level. Groundwater inundation is an additional risk faced by coastal communities and environments before marine flooding occurs because the groundwater table in unconfined aquifers typically moves with the ocean surface and lies above mean sea level at some distance from the shoreline.
Rotzoll and Fletcher combined measurements of the coastal groundwater elevation and tidal influence in urban Honolulu with a high-resolution digital elevation model. With this, they were able to assess vulnerability to groundwater inundation from SLR.
"We used the digital elevation model with our improved understanding of groundwater processes to identify areas vulnerable to marine inundation and groundwater inundation," Rotzoll explained. "It turned out that groundwater inundation poses a significant threat that had not been previously recognized."
Although effects of SLR on coastal areas have been discussed for a long time, this study is the first to explicitly assess the effects of including groundwater dynamics.
"Finding that the inundated areas double when including groundwater inundation in coastal flooding scenarios will certainly be a surprise for everyone assessing the effects of SLR without considering the local groundwater table," said Rotzoll. "We hope other coastal communities use our research as the basis for conducting their own localized analysis."
Strong evidence on climate change underscores the need for actions to reduce the impacts of SLR. Groundwater inundation has consequences for decision-makers, resource managers, and urban planners and may be applicable to many low-lying coastal areas, especially where the groundwater table is near the ground surface and groundwater withdrawal is not substantial. However, groundwater withdrawals can be used to mitigate effects of a rising water table, even if it means pumping brackish water to avoid inundation.
The authors will present the findings from this paper at two international meetings: the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting (Charlotte, NC) and the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (San Francisco, CA).
The study's authors plan to substantiate their assessment of the groundwater table with further measurements throughout the coastal Honolulu caprock aquifer and improve understanding of the dynamics of the water table.

Technology has always been one of the great drivers of the U.S. economy, constantly creating jobs and eliminating some in the process. But recently, MIT professors tell Steve Kroft, technology has been eliminating more jobs than it creates - a net loss that poses a danger to the delicate economic recovery. Kroft's report on this technological revolution, often characterized by advanced robotics, will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday Jan. 13 (7:30-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Get a sneak peek below!
"Technology is always creating jobs. It's always destroying jobs. But right now the pace [of destroying them] is accelerating," says MIT Professor Eric Brynjolfsson. "So as a consequence, we are not creating jobs at the same pace that we need to."
Fewer Americans on a percentage basis are holding jobs now than 20 years ago. Some examples include the elimination of sales clerks and bank tellers by cash machines and Internet shopping. Says Brynjolfsson, "There are lots of examples of routine, middle-skilled jobs that involve relatively structured tasks…that are being eliminated the fastest," he tells Kroft.
The irony is that the economy is growing. "Our economy is bigger than it was before the start of the Great Recession," says Andrew McAfee, also of MIT. "Corporate profits are back. Business investment in hardware and software is back higher than it's ever been. What's not back is the jobs."
One reason for this was automated warehouses, which surprised McAfee. The economy is making plenty of goods, but requires a lot less people to store and ship them. "There are heavily automated warehouses where there are either few or no people around," he says.
Kroft visits a huge warehouse in Devens, Mass., where about 100 employees work with 69 suitcase-sized robots that navigate the massive facility, moving product from shelf to shipping point faster and better than humanly possible. Watch a clip.
Customer orders are transmitted from a computer to Wi-Fi antennas that direct the robots to the merchandise, guiding them across an electronic checkerboard with barcodes embedded in the floor panels. Once the robot arrives at its destination, it picks up an entire shelf of merchandise and delivers it to the packing station. It then speeds off to its next assignment. The small orange robots are in many facilities across the country.
Bruce Welty, who runs The Warehouse, points to one of his workers and tells Kroft, "In a typical warehouse, she would have to walk from location to location [to make] a number of totes… the innovation here is that the product comes to her." Welty estimates that to do the same amount of work with just people, he would need to hire one and a half persons for each robot, so the robots allow him to operate with less than half the amount of people such a facility would normally employ.
McAfee sees this trend of technology eliminating jobs continuing for some time "When I see what computers and robots can do right now, I project that forward for two, three more generations, I think we're going to find ourselves in a world where the work as we currently think about it, is largely done by machines," he tells Kroft.

The report entitled "The Human Trafficking Cycle: Sinai and Beyond" is being presented to EU home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmström in the European Parliament on Wednesday.
The report, by Dutch and Swedish researchers, Professor Mirjam van Reisen, Professor Conny Rijken and Meron Estefanos details the trafficking of refugees from the Horn of Africa who are targeted by criminal networks for extortion and exploitation.
The report, based on numerous interviews with surviving refugees, looks at the experience of refugees who have fled countries looking for safety and security.
The report concludes that between 2007 and 2012 some 25,000 to 30,000 people were trafficked, an estimated 95% from Eritrea.
Smuggled across borders by middlemen, or kidnapped from refugee camps, they are held in inhumane conditions close to the Israeli border, tortured and abused to pressure friends and relatives into paying enormous ransoms.
Many of those trafficked have died in captivity even after ransoms were paid. It estimates US$600 million may have been paid out in ransoms. The report suggests that many Eritreans do not survive the trafficking and the torture, and calculates between 5,000 and 10,000 of the hostages have died or been killed in captivity, with children as young as two or three years old among the victims.
The report, which focuses on the journey to Sinai and what happens to the refugees in Sinai, accuses Eritrea's Border Surveillance Unit, under the command of General Teklai Kifle 'Manjus', of being central to the human trafficking.
General Teklai and other senior Eritrean officers have also been identified by the UN Monitoring Group for involvement in human trafficking.

What the FREAK? Huge SSL security flaw stems from US government backdoor
Seven hours is all it takes to crack the encryption that is in place on some supposedly secure websites. Security experts blame the US government's ban on the use of strong encryption back in the 1990s for a vulnerability that has just come to light. Named FREAK (Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys), the flaw exists on high-profile websites including, ironically, NSA.gov.
Meaner POODLE bug that bypasses TLS crypto bites 10 percent of websites
Some of the world's leading websites—including those owned or operated by Bank of America, VMware, the US Department of Veteran's Affairs, and business consultancy Accenture—are vulnerable to simple attacks that bypass the transport layer security encryption designed to thwart eavesdroppers and spoofers.
German Spy Agency Wants To Buy Zero-Day Vulnerabilities In Order To Undermine SSL Security
The newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reports that the German spy agency BND will spend €28 million on what it calls its 'Strategic Technical Initiative' (SIT) next year, and that it has asked the German government for a further €300 million (original in German). The German edition of the English-language site "The Local" explains how the money will be used:
The aim of the programme is to penetrate foreign social networks and create an early warning system for cyber attacks.
Microsoft releases anti-POODLE Fix It
Microsoft has released a Fix It to disable the feature which was the subject of the POODLE attack. The Fix It, a program which implements changes in the registry, makes the process simpler than the alternatives.
POODLE is the name given to a vulnerability in SSL version 3.0 found earlier this month by a Google researcher. SSL was supplanted by TLS and the current version is 1.2, but systems may fall back to older versions if the server does not support the newer ones.
OpenSSL warns vendors against using vulnerability info for marketing
Security advisories for OpenSSL should not be used for competitive advantage, according to the development project behind the widely used cryptography component.
The warning comes from the OpenSSL Project, which has published for the first time guidelines for how it internally handles security problems, part of an ongoing effort to strengthen the project following the Heartbleed security scare in April.

Abortion lobby work? No recall
WASHINGTON -- Fred Thompson, who is weighing a Republican presidential bid as a social conservative, "has no recollection" of performing lobbying work in 1991 for a family planning group that was seeking to relax an abortion counseling rule, a spokesman said Friday.
The Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site that Thompson was retained by National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association to lobby the administration of President George H.W. Bush to ease a regulation that prevented clinics that received federal money from offering any abortion counseling.
At the time, Thompson, a lawyer, worked as a lobbyist at Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn, a Washington firm.
"He may have been consulted by one of the firm's partners who represented this group in 1991," Thompson spokesman Mark Corallo said Friday in a statement. "As any lawyer would know, such consultations take place within law firms everyday."
Clinton courts Indians in Calif.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is wooing wealthy entrepreneurs with ties to India, seeking to tap the growing political clout of Indian-Americans in California's Silicon Valley.
Clinton spoke Friday by live video feed from New Orleans to nearly 4,000 businesspeople in Santa Clara attending the annual alumni conference of the Indian Institute of Technology, one of the world's most elite university systems.
Clinton reiterated her call for more H-1B work visas for highly educated immigrants, an issue of deep concern to the Indian and Indian-American executives and engineers in the audience.
How's this sound? Simon and Dodd
MASON CITY, Iowa -- Grammy-award winning singer and songwriter Paul Simon joined longtime friend and Democratic presidential hopeful Chris Dodd on campaign appearances across Iowa on Friday, saying the political process is too focused on money and not on issues.
Simon said he watched a recent Democratic debate held in New Hampshire and felt the most serious issues questions weren't directed toward the candidates with the most expertise, including Dodd, who he's known for about a quarter-century.
"The (political) process is not really eliciting the best thinking because it's focused on how much money is raised and it's difficult to come around the media and speak to people ..." he said.
Rudy 'strictly' pro-gun rights
SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, a strong proponent of gun control during his years as New York mayor, told a Southern audience Friday that he supports the constitutional right to bear arms.
During a town-hall style meeting, Giuliani focused on combatting terrorism, cutting taxes and ending illegal immigration. Several in the audience raised questions about an issue at the forefront for many conservative Southerners: gun rights.
"It doesn't matter if I believe in it or not -- and I do -- it is the Second Amendment," Giuliani said. "I'm a strict constructionist. The Second Amendment says you have an individual right to bear arms."
Giuliani earned a reputation for strictly enforcing gun laws while New York mayor.
Religious for Brownback: More than 50 religious conservatives in Iowa will lead an effort to convince Republicans to support presidential candidate Sam Brownback. In a statement, Brownback said the conservatives "share my goal to rebuild the family and renew the culture" and could play an important role in his bid for the GOP nomination. The conservatives have a history of playing an important role in Iowa Republican politics, such as in the 1988 caucuses when they helped TV evangelist Pat Robertson to a second-place showing.

This game looks very good for a DS game. I like that it's a side scroller instead of a 3D game. You play primarily with the D-pad and face buttons, only using the touchscreen for a resusitation minigame. After Spidey takes one too many hits, you'll see him laid out on the bottom screen, with red power orbs floating around him. You then use the stylus to swipe these orbs toward him before time runs out.

This image was made in New Zealand. We were driving to a landscape location and I saw this dam and we turned around to shoot it. I like the geometry and industrial feel. It's fun to try something different. Sharp angles and lines make for interesting images. Black and white was the way to go.
Tag Archives: Image Of The Day
I have been spending what little spare time I have organizing my photos from the last few years. It's a mammoth task and one I say I will stay on top of from now on. Here's to hoping I do. This is an image I found shot 2 years ago in New Zealand. This a tree that is photographed a lot. I guess because it sits out in this filed and a small pond by itself. Once again I saw it in B&W.
While traveling in Cornwall, UK a few months ago I was trying out and doing a lot of testing with the Olympus OMD E-M1 camera. At one point we were crossing a river on a ferry and I saw these anchored ships and sailboat. I thought it would be interesting to shoot with a long lens compressing the background in the shot. It looked in the end best in Black and White.
Aqua Towers – Chicago, Take 1
I love Chicago. It's one city I never get tired of shooting in. The architecture is second to none and offers the urban landscape photographer so many possibilities. This image was made right after sunrise of the Aqua Towers. This is a giant condo building that is designed to look like a wave. The trick is to use a long lens, expose for the highlights and shoot the building in high contrast with am abstract look. I shot this with a Fuji X-t1 and 55-200mm lens.
Unique View Of The Lemaire Channel Antarctica
One of the places almost everyone who visits the Antarctica Peninsula visits is the Lemaire Channel. This is narrow channel with huge cliffs and mountains rising from either side. It has never disappointed me on any of my visits. On my last trip I wanted to show the channel in a different way. So, once we were in the middle of the channel I shot 12 exposure while panning the camera from a moving ship. I later stitched these together in Photoshop. This is the result where you can see both openings of the channel. I am presenting a Color and BW version for your viewing pleasure.
Gold and Browns
Where on earth can you find colors like these. The Palouse is like the color chip rack of a paint store. The is a classic example of the natural beauty in the Palouse during the harvest. Freshly plowed fields next to fields that have just been harvested. And, for a real treat you should see this place in the spring time.
Old Truck Headlight
In the Palouse as mentioned in previous posts there are a lot of abandoned trucks and cars, not to mention houses. This shot was made at the Texeco station where the owner collects old trucks. I loves the color, rust and especially the lines of the headlight and truck. So retro, so nice. Shot with a Fuji XT-1.
