Life's an adventure, making the most of it...
I'm a fun girl that loves to travel, enjoys a good laugh, and plans on doing big things in this life. I try to find the positive in most things, can't help but dance when a good song comes on, and like a good mix of city and nature. I like to think I'm pretty funny (at least I can laugh at myself). :) I love a good hike, kayak, picnic, or day at the beach. Exploring new places is a serious addiction. I have an awesome group of friends and am close to my family. Going out for drinks, dinner, music or dancing are all things I'm typically up for. Life's too short to sit it out. But, that said, I'm a movie and take-out girl all the way. It's all about mixing it up. I work a "normal" job now, but have been running my own business for the last five years. Moving to NH this past winter has changed some things, but I know I'll be going back to that sooner rather than later. I'd love to find someone who has ambitions of their own, while still knowing how to appreciate life. As for this online dating experience...I fully believe there's an unspeakable chemistry to these types of things, so to really appreciate who I am, we've just got to meet up. Exchanging a couple of emails is a great start though...And if you think you'd be up for a cup of coffee or a beer to chat and get to know each other, let me know. :)

I had two awesome dogs up until recently and plan on getting more as soon as I'm able. The bigger the better and yes, size matters. ;)
In life? Nelson, New Zealand; I'd move there in a heartbeat. Locally...I like Portsmouth, Rye, Nashua the whole south/coastal area. The lakes mnts are heaven. Maine is rad too. Boston is cool, I'm a NYC girl at heart, but I love to explore...
University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT
I like all kinds of music. I love movies like the Bourne Identity series, anything with Marvel superheros, a good documentary about Africa... what can I say, I'm a woman of diverse tastes. ;)
Hitting the movies, heading out for a spontaneous road trip, just hanging at the beach. I love kayaking. A good mix of new spots & old favorites makes for a great weekend. I can have fun in a parked car though, so it's really more about who I'm with.
The Art of Racing in the Rain. Loved it. Other than that...probably something positive psychology/self help-ish for work... 29 Gifts, Imagine, or The Art of Non-Comformity... Note to self: I need to read more fiction. :)

Summary: Lessons Learned Review / UN Support to Core Public Administration Functions (Post-Conflict)
The UN Lessons Learned review captures the experience of the UN System in working on public administration in post-conflict environments. Reviewing external and internal literature as well as seven case studies, it provides recommendations for more predictable, efficient and timely UN support in this area. The findings and recommendations focus on the immediate aftermath of conflict, defined as the first two years after the conflict has ended. The review is focused on 'core' or 'basic' public administration functions, as opposed to service delivery functions. This builds on the Secretary General's Report on Civilian Capacities in the Aftermath of Conflict, which identified five core functions: policy formulation and public financial management, managing the centre of government, civil service management, local governance, and aid coordination as essential for government ownership of the political and development process. The full report will be released shortly.
Summary Lessons Learned Review of UN Support to Core Public Administration Functions in the Immediate Aftermath of Conflict © UNDP Pakistan Overview But, as the Secretary General recognised in his 2009 report on 'Peacebuilding in the Immediate Aftermath of Conflict', appreciation of the critical role of "core government functions, in particular basic public administration and public finance" has faded. This is true not only within the UN, but within the broader development community. ODA to peacebuilding and statebuilding, for example, increased from 2005 to 2009, except for 'ODA to strengthen core public sector management systems and capacity' (OCED 2011). Although the UN has produced important reports and policy on the rule of law, gender equality, and other post-conflict challenges in the decade since Report of the Panel on UN Peace Operations (the Brahimi Report), very little has been produced on public administration in fragile environments. The UN Lessons Learned review rectifies this gap and captures the experience of the UN System in working on public administration in post-conflict environments. Reviewing external and internal literature as well as seven case studies it provides recommendations for more predictable, efficient and timely UN support in this area. The findings and recommendations focus on the immediate aftermath of conflict, defined as the first two years after the conflict has ended. The report is not to be seen as the conclusion of a comprehensive research initiative but rather as the first step in a process of re-directing the UN's work on post-conflict public administration, in collaboration with recipient countries and other development partners. The review is focused on 'core' or 'basic' public administration functions, as opposed to service delivery functions.1 This builds on the Secretary General's Report on Civilian Capacities in the Aftermath of Conflict, which identified five core functions: policy formulation and public financial management, managing the centre of government, civil service management, local governance, and aid coordination as essential for government ownership of the political and development process. Five countries were visited by the team (Burundi, Guinea-Bissau, Kosovo, Liberia, and Timor-Leste), while two countries (Afghanistan and Sierra Leone) were covered through desk reviews. In addition to the country case studies, the lessons learned review situates UN experience in the wider policy and 'lessons learned' context. Undertaken as part of the preparation of this report, there are three main sources of lessons the review has drawn on: (1) the practice of state and peacebuilding over the past decade or so; (2) the much longer tradition of public administration reform (PAR); and (3), recent academic research into governance and institution-building. These sources highlight a number of important lessons, in particular: • the centrality of the 'political settlement' to peace and statebuilding, notably inclusion and national ownership; • that governance deficiencies need to be understood as political in origin as much as technical; • that the translation of forms of administration from one context into another rarely leads to corresponding function, and thus it is important to work for 'good fit' and not 'best practice'; • and, finally, successful PAR requires strong domestic leadership and objectives that are modest, focused and incremental. For over 50 years, the United Nations has supported public administration in developing countries. From helping newly independent countries in Africa and Asia to build essential public institutions in the 1950s and 60s, to running transitional administrations in Kosovo and East Timor, the UN has understood that core public administration capacity is essential for development and indeed statehood. 1 The World Bank describes these as 'upstream' rather than 'downstream' functions, the latter being the mandate of line ministries and focusing on the delivery of services (World Bank, 2011). 2 The review has two main findings The first finding is that the UN, along with the wider international system, is simply not doing enough to support core public administration functions post-conflict given their importance. Core administrative functions do not in themselves deliver services, but the review is clear that these are a necessary requirement for doing so. The case studies also highlight that these functions are the key mechanisms through which countries own the wider process of peace and statebuilding, in particular the political process of raising revenue, setting development outcomes, and the planning and execution of budgets. And the character of the public administration, notably its level of inclusion, can be a key instrument for deepening the political settlement and reducing conflict. The review concludes that whilst the correct level of focus is a matter of judgment not science, given the significance of these administrative functions to wider peace and statebuilding, the current UN-wide level of focus and capacity for supporting core public administration functions in the immediate aftermath of conflict is insufficient. There is, for example, currently no agreed approach for conducting a rapid assessment of core public administration functions. There are also serious problems with funding in the early days after conflict as support to the public administration is often classified as development not humanitarian; there are also challenges with the provision of qualified specialists. Coordination between agencies, the World Bank, and donors in the field is often late, ad hoc and inadequate. Finally, there is insufficient collaboration between missions and agencies, in particular with regard to the political analysis of public administration reform and its likely impact on UN peace and statebuilding objectives. The second major finding is that the current approach to support core government functions in the aftermath of conflict has often been unsuitable. There has often been too strong a push for systemic reforms, and, partly as a result, not enough focus on rapid support to restoring basic functionality based on existing systems. Since its inception, the UN, along with the World Bank and many donors, has promoted a 'best practice', technical, merit-based model of public administration rooted in modern western approaches. The prevailing 'theory of change' is that, using the opportunity of the post-conflict moment, widespread reforms based on best practice will lead to more efficient and effective public services which will in turn lead to more peaceful and stable states. However, the experience of the case studies conducted as part of the review, as well as the wider literature, demonstrate a number of problems with this approach. The review of the literature highlights that industrialised countries developed merit-based civil services some time into their development trajectory. This model has nevertheless been applied to post-conflict countries with little modification, with the justification that the post-conflict moment both permits and demands wider systemic reforms to public administration. Most post-conflict situations are, however, extremely politicised, and high levels of unresolved conflict between political leaders, often results in political attention being on the wider political rules of the game, rather than on reform of administrative systems or even on development. Capacity is often low due to neglect, destruction, or migration, as is trust in government by both citizens and new political leaders. Such environments, with a nascent and evolving political settlement, are usually not conducive to systemic reforms. 3 © UN Photo by Tim McKulka © UN Photo by Marco Dormino First, ... the UN needs to approach and understand support to public administration as a political as much as a technical exercise. Public administration is not just a mechanism for delivering services, but a key arena within which the political settlement is negotiated. This is a process that more often than not will look muddled, but is an improvement over bargaining through violent conflict. This means, for example, that the UN needs to ensure that key governance and public administration issues are discussed during peace processes and included in peace agreements - the Arusha accords for Burundi and the Nepali peace process, for example, both contained considerable provisions on inclusion and the public administration that were key to the wider peace process. Local government is also often a key part of peace processes and the UN requires specialist advisory input when it supports peace negotiations involving these issues. It means the UN should support and sponsor discussions on systemic public administration reform, and inform these discussions with the provision of options and experience from other countries, rather than bringing in experts with single 'best practice' recommendations. The UN should also consider providing discrete support to new political leaders on public administration issues, many of whom in post-conflict contexts have no such experience at all. Given the long time it takes for public administrations to improve outcomes and results, the UN should help post-conflict governments generate 'process legitimacy' in the short-term through, for example, supporting vetting of public officials, and developing grievance redress procedures. The UN also has a particularly important role in promoting the inclusion within the public administration of women and excluded groups, both for its impact on sustaining the political settlement but also for its potential to make service delivery more responsive to the needs of different groups. This is particularly important for women. And lastly, the UN needs to be careful to monitor conflict within the public administration, with special attention being paid to public service labour disputes; evidence from the case studies shows that labour disputes can get out of control, de-stabilising an already volatile situation, or can reflect wider emerging conflict in society. Following on from these findings, the report has three main recommendations: 4 Š UN Photo by Christopher Herwig 5 Second, ... the UN needs to improve its provision of fast, flexible and appropriate support to restoring the basic functionality of core systems as soon as possible after conflict. If new governments are to assume ownership and control of the peace and statebuilding process they need administrative functions restored as soon as possible, in particular the budget process. Contrary to the current approach, which tends to address only very narrow needs through 'early recovery' and then wait for longer-term transitional support, rapid support to core systems should be a priority in the early days after conflict alongside security and humanitarian needs. This means doing better and faster joint assessments of core administrative functions with the World Bank and the IMF, for which currently there is no agreed approach or protocol. In some contexts the first task may be rapid action to stop the 'haemorrhaging' of funds (as was the case of the Governance and Economic Management Programme established early on in post-conflict Liberia). In order to help new governments restore core functions, the UN needs to focus on existing systems, introducing new ones only where absolutely necessary, avoid 'whole of government' approaches as they often fall foul of political rivalries, and work primarily with individual ministries. For accountability systems, the UN needs to focus first on strengthening internal controls, such as internal audit, rather than eye-catching new external systems whose effectiveness usually depends on internal controls being in place anyway. Anticorruption is a key element of support to core functions, with, for example, oversight and control over licences and concessions being essential as early as possible. But the main contribution of support to anti-corruption is laying the foundations for more systemic efforts later on, notably ensuring core systems are functioning. In terms of plans and budgets, there are many examples of overcomplexity driven by foreign consultants, the key in the immediate aftermath of the conflict is simplicity and focus on service delivery through a few key national programmes, not multi-year plans and budgets. Practical support to local government is often neglected, despite the fact that most services are delivered at the local level; but again the focus in the immediate aftermath of the conflict needs to be on functionality, not yet on complex policy development for political and fiscal decentralization. In terms of providing support, the UN could make much more use of South-South linkages, such as the administrative staff from governments in the region now being provided to the new government of South Sudan. Finally, as has been argued in many other places, the UN and the wider international system, need to avoid actively doing harm through establishing parallel systems and taking qualified staff away from government. This also includes avoiding the deployment of advisors and advice from different administrative and legal traditions. Third, ... the UN needs to undertake a range of internal measures to improve its capacity to support core government functions in post-conflict countries. Given insufficient attention, fragmentation at the field level, and the unusually high degree of cross-UN discipline required to support administrative functions, the review recommends a short policy guidance note to be developed by the UN Working Group on public administration, with responsibility for implementation in the field entrusted to the RC/HC. 2 This policy guidance note should explicitly use statebuilding as its starting point, rather than just peacebuilding. Support to government functions also needs to be included as routine in integrated planning frameworks between the UN agencies and special political/peacekeeping mission, most importantly the Integrated Strategic Framework (ISF) and the Integrated . Mission Planning Process (IMPP). Mandate drafters and mission planners need to be encouraged and able to access specialist advice on public administration to do this. Analytical capacity also needs to be improved, and to this end an approach and protocol for rapid assessment of core public administration functions needs to be agreed between the concerned UN agencies and the World Bank. Guidance should be produced for better analysis of the political economy of support to the public administration, through better coordination and knowledge sharing between special political and/or peacekeeping missions and UN agencies. Producing a 'guide to government' containing a basic description of all levels of government and intended to educate the UN and wider international system should be standard practice for the UN. The UN also needs to improve its ability to deploy specialised public administration specialists as opposed to governance generalists. The UN needs to improve learning through in particular establishing a 'knowledge and learning' portal. And finally the UN needs to ensure financing for restoring functionality of critical systems is available immediately after conflict and that action in this field is not delayed by questions as to whether responsibility belongs to the peacebuilding, development or humanitarian sectors. For any meaningful work on the public administration to be considered a minimum of political order and commitment from political leadership needs to be in place. Perhaps the most difficult operational question for the UN is to assess continually to what extent the necessary order and commitment is in place, and to gauge the level of UN support accordingly. This assessment needs to bear in mind that an overly cautious approach may lead to the very problems the UN is trying to avoid, but an overly confident approach could be wasteful at best. This is a very complex judgment that depends on a careful analysis of context, but the overall approach of this report as laid out above should help the UN avoid being either too cautious or too confident. 2 The Policy Guidance Note should build on principles as well as the key recommendations contained in the Lessons Learned Review Report. The Note will provide practical guidance to the field and to HQ on how to address the immediate restoration of core government functionality. 6 © UN Photo by Satomi Kato Study commissioned by the UN Working Group on Public Administration at the request of the UN Secretary-General's Policy Committee New York, January 2013 Background This report is submitted in fulfilment of the Secretary General's decision to commission a 'lessons learned review of country experiences in post-conflict public administration'. This follows from the 'Report of the Secretary-General on Peace building in the Immediate Aftermath of Conflict', which identified support for 'core government functions, particularly basic public administration and public finance,' as repeatedly requested from the UN in post-conflict countries. The objectives of this report are to provide 'recommendations to ensure the UN system is capable of providing effective, cohesive, integrated and strategic support to improve the capacities of post-conflict public administration at the national and sub-national levels.' The production of the report was supervised by the UN Working Group on Public Administration, chaired by UNDP with representation from DOCO, DPA, DPKO, OCHA, OHCHR, PBSO, UNCDF, UNDESA, UNDP, UNICEF, UNV and UN Women. These, as well as staff in agencies and missions in the case study countries, gave generously of their time and support to this initiative. Whilst the primary audience of the report is senior UN policy makers in the field and Headquarters, the report is also intended to inspire debate amongst a wider group of interested member states, policy experts and donor institutions. This summary reproduces in a condensed form the arguments presented in the Lessons Learned report and makes the central conclusions of the report available to a wider audience. It is not intended to summarise the case studies. 7 Contact info: Chair of the UN Working Group United Nations Development Programme One United Nations Plaza New York, NY, 10017 USA For more information: email@example.com, email@example.com Copyright 2013, UN.

We have 2 PCs in the house, along with my MBP and iPod Touch. The PCs are connected with an ethernet cable to the router and can get to the internet just fine. However, my MBP can't get to the internet. It IS connected to the router, but Safari (and Firefox) does not pull up a webpage. So I went to my iPod and it connected just fine through Safari. I verified and repaired permissions, restarted numerous times, but nothing.
I'm thinking about pulling my old PC (computer I used before my MBP) and hooking it up since it has a Linsys wireless PCI card in it. I could also test out my Playstation 3 to see if it can connect and sign in to the Playstation Network.
To also add, I kept the wireless security information the same. The SSID, encryption, and passphrase is all the same as it was on the old router. I'm thinking about turning off the router's firewall through the settings to see if that would do anything, but I would honestly like to keep it on.
Can anyone help me?

Picture: Steve Carell The Australian premiere of 'Crazy Stupid Love' held at Event Cinemas Sydney, Australia - 14.09.11
Steve Carell can't believe that his career has progressed so much that he now gets to be a Hollywood leading man and share screen time with the likes of Keira Knightley and Julianne Moore. In an interview with Parade.com, Carell remarked "How did I end up in films with people like Keira Knightley and Julianne Moore? All these beautiful leading ladies and me-it's kind of shocking." Carell will soon be starring in 'Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World'.
There are, however, other aspects of fame that he has taken to quite easily. "I don't mind having someone else mow my lawn," he explains. "But I enjoy vacuuming. We just got a cordless vacuum cleaner that's the best! It's so handy. And recently I cleaned the gutters. If it's something I can actually do and I have the time, I'll do it." In fact, Carell seems to embody the life of the down-to-earth movie star, who hasn't yet allowed fame go to his head. He and his wife reserve Sundays for family time, saying "[The kids] are 8 and 11, and they still like hanging out with us, so we're taking advantage of it. I know it won't always be that way."
'Seeking a Friend For The End Of The World' is due out next month (July 2012). It tells the tale of a man left alone, when his wife panics and leaves as an asteroid nears Earth. When asked what he'd do if he thought his days on Earth were numbered, Carell answered "My thoughts gravitated toward food, like a very good pizza. We've had deep-dish delivered from Giordano's, Gino's East, and Lou Malnati's in Chicago. You can just call and have it shipped to you on dry ice."

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 3/24/13
Phil Loadholt is a top flight right tackle, ranking 8th among right tackles on ProFootballFocus last season. He's graded out well above average in two straight seasons, but right tackles should not be able like left tackles because they don't protect the blind side. Credit the Vikings for not overpaying Loadholt, with this 4 year, 25 million dollar deal with 7 million guaranteed. He's a fierce run blocker, 4th among offensive tackles and 2nd among right tackles in that aspect last season, and he holds up in pass protection as well, with penalties (11) being his only weakness. Adrian Peterson has to be pretty happy about this re-signing. Grade: B

People who are not intelligent enough to differentiate between a recall due to an engineering defect and one due to an improperly installed part, which these recalls are NOT the result of, should not comment and disgrace the hard union workers who work on the assembly line.

Just go to work if you can get a job and don't eat too much, maybe become a vegetarian and grow your own food. Don't buy a car, not even a used one because you won't be able to afford the payment, let alone the insurance. Shop at all the Goodwill stores for you won't be able to afford to look at Walmart let alone shop there. And cancel ALL other activities like going out to the movies, dining out, attending sports events, etc...because well, you'll be working at minimum wage in order reach this goal.

The Optical Freqency Comb: A Remarkable Tool for Metrology, Science and Medical Diagnostics
Published on
Hall's work has concentrated on improving the precision and accuracy with which lasers can produce a specific frequency, and the stability with which they can hold that frequency. He has helped to develop a broad range of laser advances in fields such as precision spectroscopy for physical and chemical analysis, new tests of fundamental physical "laws", measurement and redefinition of the speed of light, and other refinements in time and length metrology. These advances are represented by more than 240 publications and 11 US patents, and have been recognized by more than 20 Awards and Prizes from professional societies, and his employer. He became a member of the French Légion d'Honneur in 2004, and has received four Honorary degrees.
Dr. Hall was awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing this honor with Theodor W. Hänsch of the Max-Planck-Institute (Garching) and Roy J. Glauber of Harvard University. This recognition was awarded "for their contributions to the development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, particularly the optical frequency comb technique." The optical frequency comb can rapidly measure the frequency of another laser with extraordinarily high precision, and has many broader applications in Science, Metrology and, most recently, in Diagnostic Medicine.

Kentucky Derby Lives Up to Hype…and Then Some
HALLANDALE, FL, May 3, 2015—Despite the negativity surrounding the industry and the efforts of a handful of stakeholders to agree to disagree, the horses and the game's special events always wind up saving the day.
Aided by great local weather and positive publicity about the talent and depth in the 2015 class of sophomore equines, records for both attendance and handle were shattered.
But in the final analysis, God bless the Thoroughbred.
At the end, four of the most accomplished horses in Kentucky Derby 141 finished ahead of 14 rivals, half of them having some kind of good chance.
And American Pharoah is for real. If he stays healthy, not a given, his talents may be unreal, in a positive sense. He has the brilliance to be in every race. Now we know he's got guts, too.
As discussed here post-Oaks, the Churchill surface was reminiscent of two things to me. If acted more like Churchill in the fall than the traditional Churchill of spring.
For two of the biggest days of racing in America, the track was speed favoring. You could close successfully but you needed a hot, almost suicidal, pace to come from the clouds, but it worked much better if you were able to save ground.
The outside was deeper; one could see that on the screen. To me it was evocative of Gulfstream Park on Florida Derby day; at once speed favoring and punishing.
The track surface is what made Frosted's effort so outstanding, finishing the strongest of all at the line. Yes, Materiality finished very well despite trouble at the start and his inexperience. He wasn't as close to the top three as Frosted, but did well to finish 7-3/4 lengths behind the winner.
One could pick apart trips and there were some obvious incidents, especially approaching the first turn, but we'll concentrate on those up front, in a manner that much of the other competition didn't.
And you didn't have to watch races develop all weekend to know that the track favored speed; you know it because how often to you see a three-speed number in the feature race on May's first Saturday.
Meanwhile, the riders in this three-speed affair were brilliant. Martin Garcia was able to cojole a half in 47.34. All three managed to steal off with the first three prizes by throwing a third quarter of 23.95 at the group, separating themselves from 15 rivals approaching the far turn.
Gary Stevens rode a great race, no real surprise there, despite being forced to race between a 17-hands rock and a brilliant hard place. He had to keep Dortmund honest while glancing over his shoulder, needing to time a winning move perfectly.
And Derby-repeating Victor Espinoza was brilliant, too. Maybe any rider can get American Pharoah to relax, but there's no doubt Espinoza can--they really make a good team out there.
Not only that, but Espinoza timed his move perfectly, gaining momentum into the lane while not racing on the fastest part of the track, putting pressure on Stevens, who doubtlessly would have preferred to wait a few more jumps before going after Dortmund in earnest.
Firing Line will be the "trip horse" two weeks from now in Baltimore. He did the dirty work, as the handicappers say, and was re-rallying at the winner, looking for an instant like a possible resurgent winner with a sixteenth of a mile to go.
But this very good colt never was able to change over to his correct, right lead despite Stevens' insistence. Of course, young horses learn from race to race.
So unless Firing Line's the second coming of Alydar, he'll probably get the hang of switching over racing into, or through, the lane.
But the day belonged to American Pharoah and to the Zayats, who definitely had a Derby trophy with their name on it after coming close thrice. It's a good thing when supporters of the game are rewarded, whatever the politics of any situation.
American Pharoah had something to prove yesterday and he removed any doubt as to his superior class and brilliance. How superior, and how classy he is in a historical context is the only question left to answer.
That, and whether the plate he wears on his left fore to protect his frog eventually catches up with him. Hopefully, it's something that he will continue to deal with in the future.
There was talk Sunday morning that the top three finishers will do it again in two weeks, and that's been a long time coming. Baltimore--even as insignificant as the Preakness is in the city's big picture, certainly could use a boost, too.
Along with the usual array of new shooters, Mark Casse, whose horses ran great all weekend, said he would look at the Preakness. Frosted is most likely to await the Belmont but this is racing, and things change.
BETS 'N PIECES: If American Pharoah was great, which he was, then Bayern was awful, unable to beat a horse. The quirky surface may or may not have had anything to do with it; which is a good possibility. Probably wasn't going to handle Private Zone in the Churchill Downs Sprint any event; he's as hickory as they make'm…Todd Pletcher has made no Preakness plans at this juncture re his three Derby runners; Stanford, withdrawn after entering the Derby, will run in Baltimore… Speaking of Pletcher-trained three year olds, Competitive Edge may be the best of them, winning in the inaugural Pat Day Stakes in electric style; his flat mile in 1:34.18 smashed a decades-old stakes record (formerly run as the Derby Trial)…
Is there any doubt that Divisidero, winner of the American Turf Stakes, is a budding three year old turf star? Divisidero vs. Bolo; would pay to see that one…A Lot got late in the shadow of the wire, as if in need of the race; stakes win coming soon, mark it down…Judy The Beauty spotted Dame Dorothy three pounds and conditioning, beaten only a neck in the G1 Humana Distaff; excellent return performance. Fourth finisher Sweet Reason loomed boldly but was one-paced in the final furlong; will benefit, mark that one down, too…
Tonalist finished great winning the Westchester at Belmont Park, where he's never lost in four starts Equipped with "cheater" blinkers, he was sharp and strong…
Would love to have been a fly on the wall during the Ken Ramsey-Chad Brown confrontation over Stephanie's Kitten, resulting in a program scratch from the Woodford Reserve Turf Stakes. Brown, meanwhile, was at Belmont Park saddling Rosalind to win the Sheepshead Bay. Did he prefer to be in New York, or was the decision made after the disagreement?

The 2012 Chardonnay Russian River (4,360 cases) was aged on its lees in one-third new French oak for 11 months and underwent full malolactic fermentation. A six-vineyard blend, it is composed primarily of the Old Wente clone as well as Mt. Eden and a handful of others. Nearly 50% comes from the Dutton Vineyard and the rest from the Heintz, DuMOL Estate, Lorenzo, Ritchie and a few others. Like most of the DuMOL Chardonnays, it reveals a greenish hue to its color as well as attractive aromas of orange blossom, delicate pineapple, wet pebbles and fresh acids in its medium to full-bodied, surprisingly concentrated, heady personality. This big-time winner should age nicely for 7-8 years
Delivers a ripe beam of juicy pear, nectarine and white peach, shaded by light spicy oak. Gains depth while maintaining elegance. Drink now through 2020.
Dumol was established in 1996 by Kerry Murphy and Michael Verlander. Winemaker / Partner Andy Smith joined as winemaker in 2000 and partner in 2005. Most of the grapes are sourced from the Green Valley appellation where DuMOL has a 25-acre Estate Vineyard, with other grape sources originating in the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. Since the beginning, Dumol has striven to make well balanced wines. Known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnays, they also do small amounts of Syrah and Viognier. For much of the winery's existence, the wines have generally been sold direct or to restaurants. With the growth of production, we are finally seeing the wines available to retail. The 2012 Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are perfect expressions of the the Russian River Valley. We are lucky enough to get a generous allocation of the wines and hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

This evening Jonathan Smales, Executive Chairman of Beyond Green will be speaking at the Norfolk Constructing Excellence Club's meeting on sustainability.
Jonathan's presentation – The Urgent and Remarkable Future: How Shall We Live? – will consider the need for remarkable transformations in how we live as inspired and enabled by where we live. Not only are the challenges remarkable but so too are the opportunities if we grasp them on our increasingly hot, flat and crowded planet. He will examine these issues through the lens of the city and urban places, spaces and infrastructure, with the conclusion that we can live well, affordably and sustainably if we have the right mindset.

|Cytochrome P450 1A as a biomarker of contaminant exposure in free-ranging marine mammals
|Miller, Kelsey A.
|Master of Science - MSc
|Pharmaceutical Sciences
|Copyright Date:
|Marine mammals are exposed to high concentrations of organochlorine contaminants that have been linked to adverse health effects. Hepatic cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) is a widely used biomarker of organochlorine exposure. CYP1A catalyzes the biotransformation of xenobiotic compounds and is specifically induced by planar aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons. CYP1A analysis has traditionally involved harvesting liver samples from dead animals. However, because of legal and ethical constraints, the use of liver for biomarker studies in free-ranging marine mammals has become increasingly unacceptable. The objective of this study was to determine whether CYP1A in skin biopsies, obtained using minimally-invasive techniques, could be used as a biomarker of organochlorine exposure in wild harbour seals and killer whales. This study consisted of three groups: (1) 20 free-ranging harbour seal pups were captured in southern British Columbia (BC) and temporarily housed in captivity. Skin-blubber and liver biopsies were collected, and three seals were orally treated with B-naphthoflavone (BNF), a known CYP1A inducer. (2) Skin-blubber biopsies were collected in the field from 42 seals (pups and adults) in BC and Washington State. (3) Skin-blubber biopsies were collected from 13 free-ranging killer whales in BC. CYP1A enzyme activity and protein levels were quantified in both liver and skin biopsies from seals using the ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and immunoblot assays, respectively. Cutaneous CYP1A expression was near the detection limit and did not correlate with hepatic CYP1A. However, in both tissues, CYP1A protein levels were induced by BNF treatment, and CYP1A expression increased during three weeks in captivity. Hepatic CYP1A expression correlated with blubber contaminant levels, and cutaneous CYP1A protein levels were higher in pups from Washington State than in pups from BC. EROD activity was not detected in killer whale skin, though a possible CYP1A protein band was detected by immunoblot analysis. In this study, CYP1A was quantified in small liver and skin biopsies obtained from free-ranging marine mammals using minimally-invasive methods. However, further studies are needed to validate the use of CYP1A as a biomarker of organochlorine exposure in marine mammal skin.

If you wish to rank the effect of social networks on search engine ranking, you will discover that there is one social channel that is always on top and this is Google+. Google+ might not be as famous as Facebook and Twitter, but you cannot deny the fact that it can truly help you in your business. But the truth remains that you cannot change the fact that some of the famous social network sites today are made by Google. More business owners these days are determining the goodness of Google+ in terms of their networking, marketing and branding as well. There are few small business trends articles that you can use to discover more. If you have a Google Plus profile, you might also have an Instagram profile. The best way to promote both profiles if you push your followers / circles, you can buy Instagram followers on social media companies for example.
Some of your colleagues might not be associated with Google +, but who knows your possible customers might be connected. Aside from your contacts, Google + is a strong addition to your search engine optimization technique and it can really aid you when it comes to making your business known to a lot of people. Somehow it is the same thing like with Instagram Followers. Nowadays you need to buy instagram followers. The main difference here is that Google+ do not value only the amount of followers they also take a look at the conversion on a profile.
Making a page for small scale businesses in Google + is just as simple as it is on any other social media network. This page will guide you when it comes to primary steps of the process. You will soon go along through your circles.
Regardless if you are still starting with Google Plus for business or you already have an account, you might also connect to that page and the activity to your WordPress site as well. Those plugins will enable you to post through your own site.
Google+ offers you lots of features that can help in sharing the updates to the right types of people. These methods can also boost the engagement of the people on your posts.

Where would we be without tax reform?
Rosheen Garnon: So where will be without tax reform? I think there are three key issues for us to focus on here. The first one is our budget is currently unsustainable as it currently stands. So what do I mean by that? Well effectively we know that government is projecting is that we will have budget deficits for the next ten years, so that isn't sustainable, that doesn't help our economy grow, and so it is very important that we think about how can we rectify that situation as soon as possible.
So the next question that comes from that is how we can collect taxes more efficiently. And what we saw come out of the henry review is in fact we have a number of taxes that we use right across the system which are inefficient. So a good example of that is some of the insurance premium taxes that we have in place today. We can have far more effective ways of colleting tax that can flow through to government and we don't have such an administrative burden in colleting those taxes, so that helps us as well.
Then the third one, which is something that I'm not sure a lot of people are aware of, is what we describe as bracket creep for individual tax payers. So what we know is that next financial year we expect the average wage earner in Australia, employed on a full term basis, will move into the second highest bracket in terms of paying tax, and so that's called bracket creep.
What it means is that if you are earning an amount today and you get an increase in your wages then next year you could of actually tipped over into a higher bracket, and so that's going to play out in terms of how many individual people are paying tax. We know today that we don't have the right balance between how much tax individuals are paying, how much is gathered via indirect taxes, and how much is being paid by companies, and if we want the economy to grow we need to get that balance right.
So those three reasons are essential for us to understand in order to be able to think about how we might reform the tax system on a go forward basis.
What do we need for successful tax reform?
Rosheen Garnon: So what do we need for successful tax reform? I think we need three things. The first one is strong leadership that definitely has to come from the treasurer and the prime minister, but we're really looking for bipartisan support because this is crucial for the Australian economy.
The second one is how we frame this up for the Australian people, and it's about getting the right messages out there to lay a foundation of awareness, so that people can really understand what the proposition is, how we're going to move through tax reform and what's going to be done, and then what is the benefit not only for people themselves but also for the broader economy.
The third thing is all about how we actually frame this up as a holistic piece of work. So not only what we're going to reform, but we have to look at the people who would be adversely impacted and make sure there is an appropriate compensation plan, and finally, that we come together as a national interest to get this right. I think we've got a key opportunity for us, everyone's understanding of why this is needed is actually coming together really well. But it's going to be crucial that we do some specific pieces of work which the government has laid out for us.
The first one is getting some discussion papers out there so that we can develop a green paper to frame the way in which we will move forward with this debate. Then the second part of the development of a white paper and that lays out the program of reform that we're looking at, this isn't easy but I think the thing that everyone is focused on at the moment is that this is absolutely essential.

Cristiano Ronaldo believes Real Madrid have found their best form of the season in time to put together a run to the Champions League final. A much-changed Madrid side enjoyed a 5-1 rout of Levante last night, just days after they beat Galatasaray 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Although early-season stutters have left them too far adrift of Barcelona in La Liga, the club's long-held ambition of regaining Europe's top prize remains in sight. "This is possibly the best form that the team has been in this season," Ronaldo said. "We have a full squad with everyone available and that is very positive news, the coach can pick the best team. "We have to respect his decisions. In football many things are possible, we have to have the desire to win because it gives us a morale boost for the Champions League". Ronaldo was on the bench yesterday, but came on in the second half and scored their third goal. "My aim is always to help Real Madrid with assists o...

In this course, author Chris Mattia helps educators create online courses that complement classroom-based instruction and foster student interaction using the free learning management system Moodle. The course details the basics of setting up a test environment, disseminating course information, creating forums, and assessing student progress. Tutorials on building course materials with Moodle's built-in HTML editor, preparing and posting various types of media, uploading assignments, and evaluating tests automatically are also included.
Now that everything is set up in our quiz and the correct value of points has been assigned to it, let's go ahead and preview our quiz by coming over to the Settings block in the left-hand column and clicking on the Preview button. This will open up a new attempt for us to begin looking at the exam. We will notice that up here in the upper left-hand navigation, we have a Quiz navigation page. We are able to jump between the various different pages of the exam. Since each page has only one question on it, it's essentially the same as being able to jump between the different questions.
We have a link to be able to finish our attempt and we have a countdown timer showing us how much time we have left to take this exam. For each question we can see the question number, we can see whether or not we've answered it, and how many points this question is worth. There is even a button for us to be able to flag to question so we can follow up with later. Since we are the instructor, we could actually go in and edit this question directly from inside of the preview of the exam. Let's go ahead and step through a few of these questions. The first question here is the matching question.
So we will go ahead and select the correct answer of Porietes astreoides. I'll scroll down a little bit. Now this one should be Montastrea annularis, but we we'll go ahead and select Montastrea cavernosa. And this one we will also select Montastrea cavernosa. Go ahead and scroll down in the page. And at the bottom of each page we have a Next button. We can simply hit the Next button. We'll go on to the next exam question. We are asked to identify this particular coral. We can go ahead and listen to each of the responses. Acropora palmata, Aplysina fistularis, Diploria labyrinthiformis.
Now I know this happens to be a Diploria labyrinthiformis. So I will go ahead and select c as the correct answer. And we'll go ahead and hit the Next button. The next question that comes up is asking us to identify this organism and if we scroll down a little bit, here we get a YouTube video preview. So we can see that animal in live action. We'll go ahead and answer this one and what I believe this is, is a green moray. We'll go ahead and go to the next question. Now we are given a true/false question. Hermatypic corals and Zooxanthellae have a symbiotic relationship.
And I believe that is true. Go ahead and go to the next question. And here we have an animal depicted as Aplysina fistularis. If we scroll down, I believe that is true as well. We'll go ahead and select True. And here we have our essay question and our essay question is asking us to tell a little bit of information about this map. We can move around on the map. We can look at some of the other different views. We can go to Map view here or go to the Terrain view or go back to the Satellite view. We will go ahead and scroll down and we have our essay question. I will go ahead and enter in a quick little response.
Go ahead and scroll down to the bottom and hit the Next button. And here we can see that all of our answers have been saved. We could go back and we could click on a particular question and jump back to that question if we want to recheck our answer. We can go over and click the Finish attempt and we are taken back to this page again. We still have our countdown to see how much time you have left. We can go ahead and hit the Submit all and finish and we are given a warning that once we hit Submit all and finish then we are no longer going to be able to go back and change our answers.
It gives us one more chance to cancel and go back and verify our answers that we want to submit. Go ahead and Submit all and finish. And now we are taken back into the exam and the feedback that we asked for is going to show us here are all of our points. On the first one we got this question right. The next one we got Montastrea cavernosa incorrect. We are not given the correct answer here because we told it not to do that yet. If we scroll down, we can see that the final answer here is correct. We could navigate through our exam by clicking on the next question here.
Here we see that one is correct. We can also look up here in our Quiz navigation, we can see that we've got our second, fourth, and fifth questions completely correct. Our first and third questions are partially correct. Let me go over to our third question. We will just navigate here with this. And this was the green moray as what I answered here. When I move down I can see that I'm only getting partial credit for some reason. Well, the reason I am getting partial credit for this answer is because this is just the common name. And if we remember that we only set up a value of 25% for partial correct answer of a common name, here we are only given 2.50 points out of 10 total.
So Moodle is doing a great job of grading this exam for us. Question six is our essay question. And if we click on that and we scroll down, we can see the essay response that we typed in, but there's not been any grading done on this. And the grading is done by the instructor after the fact. So we are not going to be given a full complete grade yet. Click the Finish review button here at the very bottom now that we've shown that we've gone through all the way. And for our Attempt we had a Preview attempt, it can tell us when we completed that attempt and that it's not yet fully graded yet.
We could see how many points that we got for each question. So we could add up all those points if we wanted to to have a good feel for how we did on the exam. This is a great way to keep students from constantly banging on your door saying how did I do on the exam, how did I do on the exam. Well, they know how they did on the exam because they're able to go through it. That's all there is to setting up a quiz. Just remember that the first step that you need to do is go ahead and set up your question bank, create all your questions, then go in and create the exam, then go in and create the quiz.
And then you need to add the questions into the quiz, set the order of the questions, how you want them to appear, set the point value, and then go ahead and preview. If you need to make any changes, you're able to make those changes directly inside of the exam at that point. Now let's finish up by returning back to our main course page by clicking on the BIOL432 link up in our breadcrumbs.
