Phone hacking charges against former NotW journalist dropped
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it has droppws charges against a journalist investigated over phone hacking.
In a statement, the CPS said: "Having carefully considered the matter, the CPS has concluded that there is insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction in relation to that journalist."
Another journalist remains under investigation.
Former News of the World Deputy Editor Neil Wallis took to Twitter to say that he is the journalist who will not now face charges:
After 21 months of hell for my family, CPS have just told my solicitors that there will be NO prosecution of me re my phone-hacking arrest
Well-known names to settle phone hacking damages
A number of high profile phone-hacking cases are to be settled at the High Court today.
It is the latest in a series of case management conferences, ahead of a hearing in June.
At that time, compensation will be assessed in any outstanding claims for the second wave of the litigation.
Agreed statements of around 15 claimants could be read out to Mr Justice Vos today, with an estimated 160 claims on the register, and more coming forward.
Actress Sienna Miller was the first to publicly settle her privacy and harassment claim, for £100,000, in June 2011, with her ex Jude Law receiving the highest pay out so far, with compensation of £130,000.
Detective on trial over News of the World leaks accusations
The trial of a senior counter-terrorism detective accused of passing information to the News of the World is due to begin today.
Det Chief Insp April Casburn, 53, is accused of offering the now-defunct tabloid information about Operation Varec, the investigation into whether Scotland Yard's inquiry into phone hacking should be reopened.
She is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court today on one count of misconduct in public office, which she denies.
The trial is expected to take a week.
Lawyer for phone hacking victims welcomes Leveson report
David Sherborne, who represents the core participant victims of phone hacking, said his clients welcome the findings and recommendations of the Leveson report.
He said the report included a "clear recognition of widespread failings in the culture, ethics and standard of the press and the devastating consequences this has had for the victims".
He said that the report calls for a regulatory system with "real teeth" and called on the current parliament to implement its recommendations.
Andy Coulson wins appeal against legal costs ruling
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has won his appeal against a High Court ruling that News Group Newspapers (NGN) does not have to pay his legal costs arising from the phone-hacking affair.

|Whole cloves
|3⁄4 Tablespoon (1 Dessert Spoon)
|Whole allspice
|3⁄4 Tablespoon (1 Dessert Spoon)
|3⁄4 Tablespoon (1 Dessert Spoon)
|Soft brown sugar
|1 Pound (450 Gram)
|3 Teaspoon (Leveled)

Create your backlog
Every project needs a backlog, the place where you keep a prioritized list of work or requirements. As you move from ideas to shipping software, your backlog acts as a repository of all the information you need to stay on track. Because the most important work appears at the top of the list, your team knows what to work on next.
In Visual Studio Online, your backlog consists of work items. You use work items to share information, assign work to team members, track dependencies, organize work, and more.
Add items
As a first step, get some items onto the backlog. Simply enter a title and click Add. Repeat this step a few times to start building your backlog.
You'll notice how user stories show up with a blue bar. If you want, you can treat bugs like user stories, and then they'll show up on your backlog with a red bar. Each work item type has its own color assignment, so you can quickly differentiate the types of work in the list.
Get items in priority order
Now that you've got some work on your backlog, it's time to get them in order. Whether you call it stack ranking or backlog priority, the outcome is the same: get things in the order you want them worked on.
Simply drag and drop an item to adjust its position within the backlog. If you're a keyboard enthusiast, hold the Alt key down and use the up and down arrows.
Add details
You may have noticed that as we added items, we only entered a title for each item. That's a great way to get the high-level set of features visible. However, that's usually not enough information for work to actually start. You need to capture more information.
We've designed each work item type - user story, bug, task, etc. - to capture all the information your team needs to collaborate and complete their work. When you open an item (double-click to do this) you'll see additional fields and tabs used to capture and share information.
You'll no doubt want to estimate the size of each item, to support planning and scheduling activities that come later. For user stories, you enter estimates as Story Points. (For product backlog items and requirements, you capture estimates in the Effort and Size fields.)
Most Agile methods recommend setting estimates based on relative size of work. Such methods include t-shirt sizes (S, M, L, XL, and too big), powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8), and the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc.), which story points uses.
"Story points are a unit of measure for expressing the overall size of a user story, feature or other piece of work." Story points tell us how big a story is, relative to others, either in terms of size or complexity. – Estimating, Mike Cohn of Mountain Goat Software
You can use any method that works for your team and enter estimates in the field provided for that purpose.
Next step: Scrum or Kanban
With your backlog defined and prioritized, you're ready to start work on the top priority items. From here, it's time to make a decision… how do you want to work? Visual Studio Online has built-in support for two popular methods – Scrum and Kanban. You can use these methods independently or together.
Using Scrum methods, teams define a sprint schedule – a time-boxed set of periods for planning and developing. Using the sprint backlog, they plan their sprints by assigning items to the sprint and defining the tasks required to develop each item. Task boards, capacity charts, and sprint burndown charts all help to keep the team aware of progress throughout the sprint cycle.
With Kanban, teams focus on the flow of work from start to finish - limiting work in progress in order to optimize flow and deliver the highest priority items as quickly as possible.
Teams that want the least overhead in terms of tracking and estimating may prefer Kanban. Teams that like to work at a steady cadence and plot the details of their sprint plan will prefer Scrum.
Related backlog notes
Before you can create or work with a backlog, you need a team project. If you don't have one yet, you can create one in Visual Studio Online. If you don't have access to your team's backlog, get invited to the team.
Do you have an existing backlog in your on-premises TFS that you want to migrate to your Visual Studio Online account? Find out if you can do that here.

GE PSC25PSSCSS Fridge warmish
Posted 18 September 2011 - 04:38 AM
For about a year, the fridge has hung out at about 45 degrees, and the freezer about 5, no matter what the setting. The top part of the freezer was warm enough that no ice was forthcoming and everything in the ice bucket melted. After reading around, I checked and the freezer evap fan didn't seem to be chugging along fast enough. So, me thinks- mutha board. So, me replaces mutha board. Now, 4 days later, evap fan seems to be just peachy, freezer side hangs around 0 or -2 but the fridge still sticks at about 43-47ish. Here's what I've checked-
Simple stuff- yes the lights go out with the door switch. Yes, the door seals are fine. Yes, I got my air hose and blew out the hamster cage in the mechanicals area. Yes, the temp readings are accurate- verified with a digital thermometer in both sides. Tried "turbo cool" through a complete cycle and the fridge evap fan goes into high gear, but doesn't really affect the temp.
Diagnostic mode- all fans light up like a christmas tree. Freezer evap, Fridge evap, veggie box circulating fan (whatever you call it), condenser/compressor fan underneath....all just wonderful.
Diagnostic mode- all thermistors pass- 5 of them
Diagnostic mode- defrost mode kicks in just fine and I can see the glow behind the back panel. It cycled for a bit, then went back to cooling with the defrost element turned off
Visual check of freezer evap shows nice even coating of light frost across the entire coil. No solid ice. Fridge evap is clean as a whistle.
I'm kinda down to pulling the thermistors and running them across a multimeter individually, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything- I know there's one on top of the freezer evap, and one on the right wall of the freezer. I've seen some "close model" service manuals online that indicate these arcticas have 2 in the fridge compartment, but mine has one behind the lower grille in the left side wall, but the top grill in the left side wall is empty- no connector or anything.
1) Is there another thermistor in the beer box? If so, which one drives the temp display readout, cos THAT one seems to be okay based on my thermometer verification of the temp in the box.
2) Does anyone have a service manual for this stupid dual evap piece of garbage so I can see the locations of the thermistors?
3) Am I on the wrong track? Something is still wrong with this thing and although the MB seems to have helped, there's something else also going on. There are no dampers in this thing, but there is a small duct with a small fan that seems to drive air from the fridge into the freezer at some point in some cycle but not sure what this does as it's supposed to be 2 separate cooling loops that don't share air. There doesn't seem to be any kind of valve in the sealed system- both coils are in the same loop.
Thanks in advance for any theories/service manuals/ideas that will get my beer cold for football later....
Posted 18 September 2011 - 06:44 PM
If those thermistors go a little bit out of spec, it'll play games with the temperature control. I'd go ahead and replace the FF thermistor.
PMed you the service manual.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney's campaign is working hard to chip away at President Barack Obama's advantage among early voters, and there are signs the effort is paying off in North Carolina and Florida, two competitive states that the Republican nominee can ill afford to lose. Obama is doing better in Iowa, another battleground state important to both candidates.
Obama dominated early voting in key states four years ago, giving him a big advantage over Republican John McCain before Election Day even arrived. In Colorado, Florida, Iowa and North Carolina, Obama built up such big leads among early voters that he won each state despite losing the Election Day vote, according to voting data compiled by The Associated Press.
Romney's campaign won't predict victory among early voters this year. But a top campaign official is adamant that Romney will not let Obama build insurmountable leads among early voters in key states.
"They're not going to run up the same margins as they did four years ago," said Rich Beeson, political director for the Romney campaign. "It just isn't going to happen."
Early voting for the presidential election has started in more than 30 states — much of it by mail, though some in person — and some important numbers are starting to dribble in. No votes will be counted until Nov. 6. However, North Carolina, Florida and Iowa report the party affiliation of people who have cast ballots. Other states will follow.
Among the 29,400 voters who have cast absentee ballots in North Carolina, 54 percent are registered Republicans and 28 percent are Democrats, according to the United States Elections Project at George Mason University.
It's a small sample — more than 2.6 million people voted before Election Day in North Carolina in 2008. And these are all mail ballots, which have historically favored Republicans; in-person voting starts Oct. 18 in North Carolina. Nevertheless, Republicans are encouraged because McCain lost the state's early vote by 11 percentage points.
"North Carolina was a place that they totally caught us flat-footed in 2008," Beeson said. "They jumped out to a lead and never looked back. You don't see that happening this time — Republicans have the lead."
Florida's sample is even smaller — only 14,500 votes so far — but it too favors Republicans over Democrats, 53 percent to 32 percent. In 2008, nearly 4.6 million voters in Florida cast ballots before Election Day.
Democrats have a big lead in Iowa — as they did in the past two presidential elections. About 60 percent of the 127,100 voters who have cast absentee ballots so far were registered Democrats. Twenty-two percent were Republicans and 18 percent were unaffiliated, according to the United States Elections Project.
In Ohio, a perennial battleground state, Democrats have an edge over Republicans among people who have requested absentee ballots, though relatively few completed ballots have been submitted. Among the 691,000 people who have requested absentee ballots in 49 of the state's 88 counties, 30 percent are Democrats and 24 percent are Republicans. Forty-six percent are unaffiliated voters, according to data collected by the AP.
It's still early — even for early voters — so these numbers could change significantly before Election Day. And voters can always cross party lines when they vote for any office. Still, both campaigns will follow the numbers closely as November approaches, using them to gauge their success in getting early voters to the polls.
The stakes are high. About 35 percent of voters are expected to cast ballots before Election Day, either by mail or in person, a small increase over four years ago, according to Michael McDonald, an early voting expert at George Mason University. McDonald tallies voting statistics for the United States Elections Project.

One of two accused graffiti vandals sentenced to 18 months in state jail
Police say men vandalized buildings, church last year
CORPUS CHRISTI - A graffiti vandal has been sentenced to a year and a half in state jail for vandalism to several buildings including a church.
Camilo Gonzalez, 18, pleaded guilty Jan. 6 to felony graffiti and two misdemeanor graffiti counts. Magistrate Judge Melissa Madrigal sentenced him to 18 months in state jail on the felony, 40 days in county jail on the misdemeanors and revoked his probation in a drug case, according to online court records.
Gonzalez and 23-year-old Eric Cavazos were arrested Nov. 1 after an officer saw the two men with fresh paint on their hands. They also each dropped a can of spray paint.
The two men were accused of vandalizing several buildings, including a church, in the 600 to 700 blocks of South Port Avenue.
Cavazos is awaiting trial on three graffiti charges — one state jail felony and two misdemeanors.

Culture clash
Comments (1)
If you all are living together in one house then I suggest to work out some schedule with MIL around LO. May be they can watch/play with LO while you take bath or cook or run errands, watch a tv show etc. A set schedule will help you all.
With ODS I had my MIL and SIL around and with second LO my mother is helping me.
We have a set schedule now and similar schedule with ODS. In the morning after first feed MIL/Mom play with baby while I take shower, make/eat breakfast, pack lunch for ODS, DH etc.. Then I would put LO to nap and do some work and MIL would prepare lunch for us.I decided what solids LO would get and we alternate based on who is available that time .. noon play or evening play is with my dad while my mom watches TV.
I watch LO while mom/dad take dinner, they watch kids while me and DH eat dinner or watch movie in weekend.
Since she feels you are taking away her grand kids and since you feel that she is taking away your LO .. you both will always experience that stress. You both have to give up that feeling. "both".. not just you :)
Just set rules that when LO cries, I will comfort, if sick, I will take care, I will decide medicine etc. No matter where you are on earth, always a "mother" decides what will be baby's food. So keep that for you.
Back in the days when there was no internet and no babycenter (1970s/80s) grandparents/MIL/mom etc were acting as primary source of information of raising baby. I remember reading in a book, it takes a village to raise a baby. What your MIL is talking about is similar to what my MIL says. When DH was a baby, she was there just to feed him. Then she would do all the house work and other older people in the house would watch babies. May be your MIL never raised her baby/kids, they thought they will get their turn when they have grand kids.

Re: Fallout 3 Official Thread
I kind of agree with butter, the game can get pretty darn depressing at times. The crazy gun lady keeps me in spirits though. Ive played about 4 hours as well, and its grown on me abit. Fighting is barly anything like a fps, most of the time you are setting up for your auto attack shots because you really dont want to waste bullets on misses or hitting non-ideal parts of the body. After the first town you can start doing quite abit of exploring around the area (Quest will having you trek quite some distance, and if you vear off to some areas you can run into other locations along the way and snag an extra quest or two.
While I am having fun with the game, it can more or less be described as oblivion, in the future, with the added expense of needing to buy ammo and lots of health packs. The needing to pickup high value items laying around and suits of armor to use or sell is a throw back all the way to morrowind, and the sleep/wait system is identical. The character creation is very nice and very involved, but when you finally leave the vault.. I had to hit the tab key to make sure I was still playing fallout. Same deal here, you walk througgh a rickey door in a cave and get plopped into the middle of no where, never to set foot back through that door again.
Btw I have seemed to encountered my first bug, if not 2 in quest scripts. One is a quest that seems to have dissapeared, the old man in the water plant disappeared after I fixed the 3 leaks and I dont see quest entry for it. And the children of the atom quest, an optional part of it was looting the drug stash from the locked desk. I looted everything after confronting the guy and convincing him to give it up, but even though the desk is empty the compass points at it and it remains un-fullfiled.
Oh and another thing I noticed, game still has the large flaw of leavig looted corpses linger around for days on end. This is mostly noticable inside the city. 2 bodies left over from a scene in the bar have been sitting on the floor rotting for days.

Re: Fallout 3 Official Thread
A friend of mine actually bought this for PC so I got to play it on my system for a few hours.
The first portion of the game, growing up inside the vault, is very well done. It doesn't really feel like any other game I've played at that point.
After you leave the vault you're reminded that this game uses the same engine as Morrowind and Oblivion. The wasteland looks nearly identical to the ashlands of Morrowind, just with a MUCH longer draw distance.
In fact, the overall feel of the game game is much less "Oblivion with guns" and more "Morrowind with guns". The atmosphere and music are extremely similar to Morrowind. I did a lot of random exploring and a couple quests and it has the same kind of "loose" feel as Oblivion, in that it seems like you can do anything you want if you try hard enough so your stats and abilities don't seem to matter much. There is also no sense of urgency to anything and it seems natural to just wander off into the wastelands rather than tend to supposedly urgent matters.
Those bits are pretty disappointing because overall it looks like a pretty damned cool game. The engine still has some of the sluggishness of Oblivion but the framerates are good most of the time. The mouse movement is much smoother than it was in Oblivion, though there appears to be a bit of lag some times, even if the framerates are in the 40s.
I did get stuck in a hole in a pile of junk once and the only way to escape was to fast travel to another location.
The combat is surprisingly good. It allows for an "FPS" approach but you are GREATLY rewarded by using VATS whenever possible. Your shots are far more accurate and you waste a lot less ammo by using vats. If you run out of AP you can manually aim for whatever limb you were focusing on in VATS and it will finish off your target. One gripe I have is that if you are behind a wall or an object and you target an enemy with VATS some times your shots will fire straight into the wall even though you have a 95% hit chance on your target. The game apparently doesn't use the GUN as the source for its line of sight, instead it uses your crosshairs. Also a lot of objects in the world have huge hit boxes around them so you can waste a lot of ammo firing into invisible walls around wrecked cars and piles of rubble. Still, I'm completely impressed by the system because it works so well. Its fun, it has the Fallout feel because its sort of frantic yet strategic and the sound effects are taken straight from the old games. Also the visual action effects are pretty awesome... though heads seem to be cleaved off at the neck rather easily. That kind of looks strange.
The sound effects are some of the best I've heard in a recent game. The gun sounds are punchy and generally pretty realistic, the creature sounds will raise the hair up on your neck and fit everything perfectly.
The graphics... for me are a mixed bag. I've never been a fan of this game engine and it looks no different with Fallout 3. The one thing I really like is the great feeling of depth and size you get, but the graphic quality overall seems pretty outdated. The textures seem kind of random and spotty and the lack of shadows just makes everything look really odd and unrealistic in most cases. Some times the game looks fantastic, but generally it just looks kind of odd and reminds me a lot of the surreal look of Morrowind.
I didn't really get to do a whole lot, but I did go deep into some old abandoned building that had a very Stalker-like feel to it with Bioshock style audio logs laying around telling you a story. That was a pretty cool area and it was surprisingly huge. There was also a cave at the bottom that looked like it was ripped straight from Oblivion.
Overall, I think its probably a good game. If I can get myself to spend the money I'll probably get it for myself. I'm hoping that the flaws I noticed in the role playing system were just there because I put a limited amount of time into the game, but I'm really not expecting anything as rewarding as the skill system in The Witcher, Deus Ex or Vampire: Bloodlines.
EDIT: I just remembered, the skill tagging system has been screwed up pretty badly with this game...

Re: Fallout 3 Official Thread
shame about the graphics tho...i wonder why they couldn't keep the same gamestyle as fallout 1/2 in terms the over topview camera.
Hopefully some mods will come out to maybe add high res textures or something, some of the textures in the screenshots look so blurred...

Re: Fallout 3 Official Thread
It just has some of the same problems as previous elder scrolls games, though they're much less severe this time around.
The gamebryo engine's graphical limitations are still there (mostly related to lighting), though the engine is steadily improving. The horrid "pea soup" LOD terrain of Oblivion does not exist in this game. Everything looks pretty much the same all the way out to the horizon and this game seems to run better because there isn't any foliage.
The relatively low reliance on skills and stats is also similar to Oblivion, though I didn't get a chance to play it enough to really tell if the system is just perfectly seamless or if it really just doesn't do much. I know I walked out of the vault, walked around a damaged bridge and had no problem slaughtering the Raiders I saw with my pistol and my small weapons skill of ~35. I was playing on medium so I bumped up the difficulty to hard after that. I think I was level 3 when I cleared out a building full of radioactive zombies, and they were tough but definitely not to the point of having to leave and come back when I was stronger. I did wander into a building full of bad asses with assault rifles that totally owned me though. There was no way I could have cleared out that place.
One other thing I forgot to mention earlier has to do with the inventory and weapons. Overall the PIP boy and interface work pretty well and look great but I really wish there was more information\statistics for equipment and a way to sort things in different ways. I haven't noticed any real difference in range or accuracy between a hunting rifle and a pistol, and the damage numbers for weapons that have burst fire are obviously for a 3-4 round burst in VATS which makes it tough to figure out which weapon is really the most powerful (for example a 10mm pistol has a DMG of 6 and a 10mm SMG has a DMG of 24 when it obviously isn't any better shot for shot). This is made a bit more confusing by the "condition" system, where weapons that are worn out actually do less damage. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It seems like it could be a way to make enemies and equipment scale without it being too obvious. You may always find low end stuff or enemies with low end equipment but later on it will be in better condition and be significantly more effective.

Re: Fallout 3 Official Thread
To hell with happy flowerland , i want desperation
Pc gameplay Benelux (pc games magazine) give it 90 of 100 . In short :
Pro's : Character creation
VATS (whatever that is)
Good translation of the original Fallout atmosphere
Neg's : Voice actors, High system requirements.
Conclusion : Fallout 3 offers a deep RPG experience and proves that it is much more then Oblivion with Fire-arms .
Also, i kind of liked Oblivion so this should be good .

SANAA: Yemeni warplanes bombed Shiite Houthi rebels on Tuesday, residents and local officials said, ending a brief cease-fire after at least 120 were killed in a flare-up of the northern rebellion.
Ahmed al-Bekry, deputy governor of Omran province, said earlier that 100 rebels and about 20 government soldiers had died on Monday in fighting and in air strikes on Houthi positions.
He said fighting had ended on Monday evening after the sides agreed a ceasefire and the situation was calm thanks to mediation efforts by the interior minister.
No details were immediately available of casualties from Tuesday's bombing.
Yemen has been in turmoil since 2011, when mass protests forced long-ruling President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down.
As well as the fighting in Omran, where the Shiite tribal militia is trying to cement its control over the northern highlands, Yemen is facing a threat from Al-Qaeda and a challenge from separatists in the south.
Clashes have repeatedly erupted in the past months between government troops and Houthis - named after the Shiite tribe of the leaders of the rebellion - as Sanaa struggles to restore nationwide control.
The Houthis blame elements of the Sunni Islah party in the military and in the Omran regional administration for the fighting.
Government officials say the Houthis, who have been fighting government forces sporadically since 2004, are trying to tighten their grip on the north before next year's election, as Yemen considers moving to a system of greater autonomy for its various regions.

Adams was born in Boston, in 1838, the son of American diplomat Charles Francis Adams and grandson of President John Quincy Adams. Educated at Harvard, Adams worked in Washington, D.C., as his father's secretary before embarking on a career in journalism and later in teaching. A prominent American historian, he wrote several important historical works. Adams's autobiography, The Education of Henry Adams (1907), might be called the story of an education and the recovery from it, although the writer felt that he never in fact recovered. His earlier work, Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres (privately printed 1904, published 1913), a study of thirteenth-century unity, can readily be compared with the Education, a study of twentieth-century multiplicity that Adams believed makes education so destructive. Henry Adams wrote two novels, Esther (1884) and the earlier cutting satire on the U.S. government, Democracy: An American Novel (1880). In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt described Democracy as a novel that created a great furor among the educated incompetents and the pessimists generally and condemned it for what he considered "its superficial and rotten cleverness." Adams died in 1918.

Geographic Range
Alaria americana are most frequently found in temperate regions, predominantly in northern North America. (Fernandes, et al., 1976; Roberts, and Janovy, Jr., 2000)
The habitat of this organism is extremely diverse, as it occupies four different hosts throughout its lifetime. The species thrives in areas close to water, which is needed for several developmental stages to occur. Adult flukes may occupy a range of definitive hosts including wolves, coyotes, foxes, cattle, lynx, bobcats, martens, and skunks. (Fernandes, et al., 1976)
- Habitat Regions
- temperate
- tropical
- terrestrial
- freshwater
- Terrestrial Biomes
- forest
- rainforest
- mountains
- Aquatic Biomes
- lakes and ponds
- rivers and streams
- temporary pools
- Other Habitat Features
- urban
- suburban
- agricultural
Physical Description
The adult Alaria americana ranges from 2.5-4.0 mm in length. It is dorso-ventrally flattened with a long forebody containing a pair of anterior flaps ventrally. This species is monoecious, with male and female reproductive organs found within each individual consisting of an ovary and a single testis. Adult flukes have oral and ventral suckers to aid in absorption and digestion of nutrients, which eventually leave the body through a single posterior pore. The genital pore is located posteriorly on the mid-hind body. This species is additionally characterized by the presence of pointed processes flanking the oral sucker as well as a pharynx and bifurcate intestine. Also found within Alaria americana are the vitelline glands which function in yolk production. (Marshall, 1972; Roberts, and Janovy, Jr., 2000)
- Other Physical Features
- ectothermic
- heterothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Range length
- 2.5 to 4.0 mm
- 0.10 to 0.16 in
These organisms may require up to four hosts to complete one cycle. Adult flukes, residing in the intestines of the definitive canid hosts, pass unembryonated eggs through the feces of the host. After two weeks, these eggs hatch in water, releasing the miracidium. The miracidia locate species of planorbid snails as the next host and once inside, develop into a sporocyst. After nearly a year of maturation, daughter sporocysts release cercariae, which exit the snail and swim to the water surface. The cercariae then locate a tadpole, inside of which they develop into the mesocercaria stage. The mesocercariae may then be ingested by the definitive host, but more frequently pass on to a water snake, where they develop into diplostomula. The definitive host then ingests the water snake, and the diplostomula migrate to the small intestine. Here, they mature into adult flukes, thus completing the reproductive cycle. (Ax, 1996; Kearn, 1998; Roberts, and Janovy, Jr., 2000)
This species is monoecious, with male and female reproductive organs found within each individual consisting of an ovary and a single testis. Adult Alaria americana reproduce in the intestines of the definitive canid hosts, then pass unembryonated eggs through the feces.
- Key Reproductive Features
- simultaneous hermaphrodite
- sexual
- fertilization
- oviparous
There is no parental investment beyond release of the eggs.
- Parental Investment
- no parental involvement
- provisioning
Because of the complexity of the life cycle and the number of transitions from one host to the next, this species must demonstrate high reproductive fecundity in order to survive. In addition, each developmental stage must be active and carry adaptations allowing it to successfully locate the next host and continue development. For example, miricidia are active swimmers with the ability to quickly penetrate a located intermediate host. Cercariae demonstrate a further adaptation: once released, they swim to the water surface and hang upside down. Here, a tadpole may swim by, and water currents will stimulate the cercariae to swim after this prospective host (Kearn, 1998; Roberts, and Janovy, Jr., 2000)
Communication and Perception
Bristles and small spines probably act as tactile receptors, and these animals also may have reduced chemoreceptors. (Brusca and Brusca, 2003)
Food Habits
Adult Alaria americana are endoparasitic and are located in the small intestine of carnivorous mammals, specifically species of the family Canidae. In their developing stages, they may be found in several intermediate hosts including planorbid snails, tadpoles, and water snakes. Adult flukes lack a mouth for feeding as well as a digestive system. In order to receive nutrients, the ventral sucker is used for digestion and absorption of mucus and tissue from the wall of the host intestine. (Roberts, and Janovy, Jr., 2000)

Ecosystem Roles
Alaria americana adults are found in the small intestine of its final definitive host, usually carnivorous mammals, specifically species of the family Canidae. In their developing stages, they may be found in several intermediate hosts including planorbid snails, tadpoles, and water snakes.
- Ecosystem Impact
- parasite
- Canidae
- Planorbidae
- tadpoles
- water snakes
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Mature worms of this species are typically highly pathogenic and often cause severe enteritis, killing the definitive host. The worm does not frequently infect humans, due to infrequent contact with tadpoles or water snakes that carry the infective mesocercariae. However, human infection has been demonstrated in a few cases, likely to be caused by ingestion of inadequately cooked frog legs. (Fernandes, et al., 1976; Freeman, et al., 1976; Roberts, and Janovy, Jr., 2000)

Conklin is a town in Broome County, New York, United States. The population was 5,441 at the 2010 census.[1]
The town is on the south border of the county, southeast of Binghamton.
The area was first settled around 1788. The Town of Conklin was established in 1824 from the town of Chenango by Nicholas Conklin (1782–1858). The town exchanged territories with adjacent towns before establishing its modern boundaries. In 1831, part of Conklin was used to form the town of Windsor, but Conklin received territory from Windsor in 1851. Another part of Conklin was used in 1859 to form the town of Kirkwood.
Alpheus Corby, a Conklin resident, built a castle-like structure as his home in 1900. The building is the current community center of the town.
In June 2006, the town was devastated by a massive flood that isolated the center of the town and required hundreds of people to be airlifted to safety. The flood destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses and caused tens of millions of dollars in damage.
The Conklin Town Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[2]
The town suffered another flood in September 2011.

Notes & Reviews:
Glory Denied, the new opera by Tom Cipullo, is the saga of Col. Jim Thompson, the longest-held American POW in U.S. history. Cipullo's dramatic chamber opera based on the 2001 oral history by Tom Philpott, was recorded live with cast and ensemble of the 2013 Ft. Worth Opera Festival. Glory Denied is a distinctly American story encapsulating something of the moral essence of the Vietnam War and the bitterness of the war's legacy. Tom Cipullo's score is beautiful and chilling and returns us to a transformative era in our nation's history.
American Record Guide, January/February 2014
The text is accompanied by a small chamber group of only nine players. This small accompaniment allows the words to be clearly understood. The whole piece is quite moving. All the singers in this production deserve great praise. All have fine young voices.
Recording information: The McDavid Studio, Ft. Worth, TX (05/2013).

Throughout the year, TSEU will mobilize members across the state for important meetings or events. Most will involve specific agencies or universities – so getting a statewide perspective is important. We encourage you to attend your local, area meetings; but to also bring those voices to our larger, statewide meetings or other events.
January 13, 2015: Legislative Session Begins
Every other year, Legislators make decisions about the future of state services, our agencies, and our pay and benefits. This is an important time to communicate with elected leaders. Throughout the session, TSEU will communicate with members about important developments, and ask members to take specific actions, such as calling your State Rep or Senator to ask them to support or oppose a particular piece of legislation.
February-March 2015: Agency-specific 'mini' Lobby Day(s)
TSEU agency caucuses will hold mini Lobby Days during the months of February and March. This will be an opportunity for us to meet with legislators about issues specific to our agency caucuses and for decision makers to hear directly from members about what's happening on the front lines. Contact your organizer for more details or look on your AGENCY CAUCUS page for more details.
Wednesday, April 8, 2015: TSEU 'All' State Employee Lobby Day
Get on the Bus! Tickets are $15 outside of Austin, and $8 for folks in Austin. Contact your organizer to get a copy of the Lobby Day 2013 video to show your coworkers what Lobby Day is all about.
Friday, March 6, 2015: ERS Voting Begins
Don't throw your vote away! Elect a frontline state employee to the ERS Board of Trustees. Ilesa Daniels, Houston HHSC, is seeking to replace current ERS Board member and union activist Yoly Griego, El Paso HHSC, who is retiring after 40 years with the state. A large percentage of employees did not vote in the 2013 ERS election, even though the ERS Board makes very important decisions about our health care and retirement benefits. We can change that by spreading word about the importance of this election from now until the end of the election, and by asking all of our coworkers to bring their ballots to work so we can collect them and mail them off.

Report: Sixers hunting for draft picks
The 76ers have available pieces if anyone wants them. Namely Evan Turner, who has been shopped regularly since the beginning of the season.
But with the trade deadline coming this Thursday, what are they after in return? Picks. Lots and lots of picks. Via the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The franchise wants to gain future compensation in exchange for Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, and Thaddeus Young, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. With the most cap space in the league and an open roster spot, the Sixers will consider acquiring an expiring contract from a team looking to dump a salary. But that most likely will also involve receiving a draft pick.
The Sixers are about $11 million under the salary cap, meaning they could complete an unbalanced deal by taking on more salary.
Turner has been connected to a bunch of teams as he's on an expiring deal and doesn't appear to factor in to general manager Sam Hinkie's plans. Thaddeus Young is an intriguing player that could be part of a significant deal. Or there's sweet shooting big man Spencer Hawes who could make a big difference on a playoff team.
Despite being terrible, the 76ers have players people want. And all you've got to do to get them is offer up a pick or two. Or three.

We get it. Mods, does this thread count as a doping accusation? Thinly veiled, but anyone who knows anything knows what's going on here.
Don't be dramatic. Yes, there are obvious underlying comments from abraxas, but whatever, the actual question itself is actually something interesting and hasn't really been brought up.
Finding out someone was a doper is certainly very tough in tennis. Like was said earlier, it fucks everything from the first match onward. It certainly isn't like other sports such as cycling or running where you can just take him out and bump up everyone behind him. One day I hope drug testing reaches new levels of innovation, consistency and accuracy because as is it seems rather easy to get away with so much..
However, I do have to say, while doping is certainly cheating and by no way would I advocate doping, but for a sport like tennis, does it actually help? I mean as my private coach would always say, tennis is 80% mental, so no matter how many years of doping you have, if you can't mentally win an important or if you don't have good technique or whatever, you aren't going to win. So while doping is certainly a serious offense, honestly, if a player couldn't beat a doper, I doubt it had anything to do with the person being a doper, but rather one just being mentally stronger or just a better tennis player. If I remember correctly, back in 2007 when Roddick was asked about Canas' return to the game, Roddick said something like "it wasn't like he didn't know how to play tennis" and I think that is exactly right about dopers. So again just to reiterate my point, while doping certainly is cheating and any player caught doping should be punished heavily, I don't think it really truly has a great bearing on our sport of tennis as it does nothing for your techniques, gameplay, shot selection and mental strength which are all much more important than the physical aspects doping can "help" with, so any player losing to a doper IMO has nothing to do with the doper being a doper (unless something way out of the norm is evident like the guy is hitting 200 MPH serves, lol..)

Knight in shining argyle
I was born and raised in Kansas. No, I did not grow up on a farm, raise field crops or herd livestock. I love home, but after graduating from the University of Kansas I felt like it was time to leave the nest. I dropped my anchor in Denver and not once have I regretted it. I consider myself to be highly active and take advantage of many of the great things this place offers....mainly mountain biking and trail running. Plus, two of my four siblings live here so I've got some family around as well. I'm extremely close to my family and can never answer the question "Which sibling do you get along with best?" Luckily, I was able to mix some of my passions with my career. I work for company that makes running and cycling gear. I truly believe in order to be successful career wise, you must be passionate about what you do. When I'm not at work, you can find me helping elderly people carry their groceries, volunteering at the local food shelter...ok, I don't do any of those things, but I do have a kind heart and absolutely hate seeing people feel bad. Side note, I would help an elderly person carry their groceries. I just don't drive around Denver in my free time looking for them. What am I looking for? Someone with a sense of humor. You must be able to make me laugh. If so, I promise to return the favor. Also, I ride mountain bikes....a lot, so be prepared. I've got much more to say, but need to save some of my best material in case we meet. I understand the importance of a good first impression.

My greatest fear is probably someone getting their hands on my iPod playlist. Reason being, I love 80's music...and I'm not talking hair bands. I'm all about the love ballads. Definitely a guilty pleasure.
