Wallaces body hard wood core covered in sculpey (oven bake) clay and his feet ready for casting.
Casting the feet
Once the plaster had set I had the laborious job of carefully digging out the clay.
In the professional world they use a wax based clay called plastilina so all you do is warm the mould pour out the clay and I believe you can re-use the clay when it has set again.

Did Anthony Reject his Faith Because it Didn't Allow for Any Mystery, or Because There Was Just Too Much Mystery?
Consider, for example, the story of Anthony outlined in his autobiographical essay which is posted at a blog-site for former Christians. Anthony had little room for mystery in his theology. Everything had to be nailed down tightly and he built his life around being-in-the-know about everything related to God. When he found that his tight theology didn't mesh with the facts, he thought he had no choice but to give it all up. So steeped was he in a theology where all the pieces had to fit together, that when he found some which didn't, there was nothing left for him except atheism itself. So Anthony, a former believer who wanted nothing more than to know God, has now decided that there is no God; he has rejected all faith, and he is a regular contributor in the comments section of atheistic blog-sites. There are likely thousands like Anthony, people who no longer think they can have a relationship with their Creator because they find pieces that don't fit into their once-neat theology.

ALBUQUERQUE — The University of New Mexico Lobos got 18 points from senior Dairese Gary and 15 from freshman Kendall Williams as UNM rolled the visiting Arizona State Sun Devils 76-62 Tuesday night in The Pit.
The Sun Devils ignored UNM's rowdy Pit and cut through the UNM defense for a quick 10-3 lead. UNM then went on a 20-0 run to take a lead the Lobos would never let go.
The Sun Devils made several minor slashes into the UNM lead in the second half, but the Lobos always answered or even increased their lead. The win pushes UNM to 2-0 on the year.
ASU falls to 0-1 in the non-conference opener.
ASU's Trent Lockett led all scorers with 22 points and led all rebounders with eight.
ASU won the board battle by two, 35-33. The Lobos took two more shots from the field than ASU and UNM hit on 26-of-56 for a 46.4 shooting percentage.
ASU went 22-of-54 for a 40.7 percent.
The Lobos beat ASU at the 3-point line by 12 points and by two points at the free-throw line.
The Lobos played 10 players and nine of them scored at least four points or pulled down at least five rebounds.
UNM also got a solid inside game from junior A.J. Hardeman with 12 points and five boards.

RaiderZ, the latest title from Perfect World had gone open beta for everyone a day or two ago. In short, the MMO is truly amazing. The title has the player focus on two things: slaying monsters, and having fun.
Within the open-beta, the player has ability to chose from being either a female or a male character of course. Both genders come with a total of 4 classes, ranging from a simple soldier that is called a defender, a berserker, who basically utilizes two handed weapons, a cleric for healing, and a wizard, that is primarily used for offensive magic. Each one of these classes come with their own skill tree, and thus restricting the players quite a bit.
After character creation, the player starts out in a humongous world. The world is split up into several locations. Specifically, the player starts out at Broken Mast. Broken Mast itself is full of lustrous jungles, very vivid life like waters and beaches, massive boats that can be jumped on, and even better, NPC's that look like pirates. Each part of this world is exactly the same as Broken Mast: they have a ton of detail, a great deal of color, lots of players, and even better, a lot of monsters that look distinct from each other.
The open-beta even allowed for a wide array of weapons, armors. Each weapon looks somewhat distinct from the last pair, and armor on the other hand truly spruce up the players characters to make them look entirely different from everyone else. However, irritatingly, some armors aren't accessible to lower level characters who want to look cool, or some weapons aren't accessible until the player beats completes one part of the story line.
However, while the player isn't seeking out rare materials to craft weapons, or armors, they will be adventuring through quest, and even more quest. This MMO is full of them, and strangely enough, they all tie into the main story line. For example, Tiana, the pirate/ admiral leader of Broken Mast had a few quest that eventually started out the player's character, however, even after 10 or so missions, Tiana was still relevant as she is the leader of Broken Mast and isn't forgotten about. What's even better is that every NPC comes into play whenever they give out a quest that not only gives them a personality, but also gives them a reason to be there within the game world.
RaiderZ, however, probably has one of the worst communities though. Everyone seems to want to play alone in an MMO that is designed for partnering up and slaying monsters. Speaking of co-op, players are able to go toe-to-toe against ally's or recruit them to fight against hordes of monsters. Strangely enough, the game doesn't let you get your specified kill. Meaning, that if another player hits your enemy that you've been fighting for since a long time, the enemy would automatically be greyed out.
Keep in mind, this is just an open beta. Hopefully, once the game truly gets released there will be far more than a two worlds for players to be in. Additionally, hopefully more areas become easily accessible and hopefully co-op is far more useful than it was in the beta.
Overall, if you are interested in a new MMO, and you lust for a better adventure that is less story driven, and far more focused on killing monsters, check out RaiderZ; you won't be disappointed. Check out Perfect World, and the video below if you are interested.

Members of the Rio Grande Compact Commission heard from several federal experts that the river has been stretched beyond its limits, leaving little for farmers, Native American communities and endangered fish to fight over as the dry conditions persist.
The commissioners indicated they were willing to work together to solve some of the region's water problems, but New Mexico State Engineer Scott Verhines was more direct about the battle his state is locked in with Texas over the river's water. He pressed for more communication and cooperation.
"We have a lot of really smart folks in the room, some of the most sophisticated water managers in the West. But I also want to say I'm generally disappointed in all of us, that we find ourselves in this place again," Verhines said.
As New Mexico's top water official, Verhines said it would be better to use the state's resources for solving the problem rather than litigating. But he added that New Mexico is still ready to fight for its citizens and water users if that's the only path available.
"We're confident in our facts and our practices and our position," he said.
Texas took its case to the U.S.
The federal government has also weighed in. In its motion to intervene in the case, the government contends that groundwater pumping in New Mexico is tapping the shallow aquifer that would otherwise drain back into the Rio Grande and flow to Texas.
Stuart Somach, an attorney representing Texas in the case, said after Thursday's meeting that Texas is trying to defend itself and protect what it believes belongs to its citizens. The fight over the Rio Grande is not as simple as solving technical issues along the river, he said.
"The only way to actually solve the problem is to allow the court to tell us who is right and then we can take a look at the technical aspects of this thing and figure out how to remediate the wrong that exists," Somach said.
New Mexico officials are concerned that the federal government is attempting to gain control of groundwater in the lower Rio Grande by insisting that it be part of the Rio Grande Project—the massive system of canals and dams that deliver surface water to farmers in southern New Mexico and Texas. That would threaten New Mexico's rights to manage underground sources of water, state officials say.
It could be years before the court makes a decision, but some experts say the case could set precedent when it comes to state rights in the drought-stricken West.
The case could also affect the ability of farmers in southern New Mexico to use groundwater wells to irrigate their crops. In recent years, without enough water in the river, chile and onion farmers and pecan growers have been forced to rely almost entirely on wells to keep their crops and trees alive.
The river is governed by a decades-old compact that spells out how much of the Rio Grande the three states must share.
Verhines said New Mexico is meeting its obligations under the compact, but Somach argued that obligation involves more than putting water in Elephant Butte, the largest storage reservoir along the Rio Grande.
"We believe it includes not taking that water and intercepting it before it gets to Texas. That's the fundamental nature of the dispute," he said.

A couple of notes: in the previous post, I forgot to include the link to Wavefunction's article on the "negative rate constant" brouhaha - it's here, and well worth a look.
And I wanted to note that the post that discusses the Dobson and Kell theories about how compounds make their way into cells now has a comment from Douglas Kell himself, which is also worth a look if you're into this topic.

He's capping to highlight his responses as opposed to the questions - it is a formatting issue versus a "If I yell, my arguments will be true" issue.

HOUSTON, Oct. 17 -- Lyondell Chemical Co., Houston, completed lab-scale testing of a one-step, direct oxidation propylene oxide (PO) technology and is ready to pilot the process on a larger scale.
The company plans to build an integrated pilot plant at its Technology Center in Newtown Square, Pa., as a final demonstration of the technology before commercialization, said Ed Dineen, Lyondell senior vice-president of chemicals and polymers. The company processes about 4 billion lb/ year of PO.
The new technology will produce PO without requiring an auxiliary feedstock facility, such as a hydrogen peroxide plant, Dineen said, and it produces PO without a coproduct such as styrene or tertiary butyl alcohol. Consequently, such a plant would require less capital investment than plants using other technologies, and investment decisions would not be influenced by market conditions for coproducts, he said.
Currently, the three leading commercial methods of PO production are Lyondell's propylene oxide-styrene monomer (POSM) process, its propylene oxide-t-butyl alcohol (PO-TBA) process, and a chlorohydrin process.
"We believe the POSM process is the best technology available today to produce PO because of its significantly lower cash costs," Dineen said. "At the same time, we also believe this new one-step direct PO technology offers significant economic advantages."
Lyondell, which has spent more than 40 years exploring PO process technologies, has secured more than 130 US patents in the PO area since 1990.
PO-Cumene process
"We continue to work with Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd., our partner in the Nihon Oxirane Co. Ltd. joint venture, on a pioneering PO-Cumene plant in Japan, which is scheduled to be operational in 2003," said Peter Gaines, Lyondell's global vice-president, oxygenated chemicals. "This technology, developed by Sumitomo as part of an ongoing technology cooperation with Lyondell, is particularly suited to the Japanese market where there is currently an oversupply of styrene," Gaines said.
Lyondell also is building a new POSM plant in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, scheduled for start-up in 2003. It is the eleventh PO plant built by Lyondell and will be jointly owned by Lyondell and Bayer.

Daily life in Iron Age Britain
During the Iron Age, Britain was a land of farms and small villages, with people living in round houses with thatched roofs. The objects that archaeologists find when excavating these farms are mundane and often in abundance. Fine metal objects like the Great Torc from Snettisham (see under 'War and art'), which are often used to illustrate the Iron Age, are rare and unusual. The most common Iron Age remains are the rubbish from daily life, such as pot sherds, animal bones and broken tools. These small, forgotten things are valuable evidence of the daily life of Iron Age people.
Most people were full- or part-time farmers, their lives governed by the farming year and the religious festivals that marked it. Most farmers grew wheat and barley, and kept cattle, sheep and pigs. Some farming families spent part of their time making salt, quern stones or iron. These essentials were traded over long distances across Britain. Other essentials were grown or made locally. Most settlements have evidence of making clothes, woodworking and even blacksmithing. Luxuries, such as shale bracelets, pots, bronze objects, animal furs and feathers were also traded over long distances.
This world was not unchanging, and nor was it exactly the same from one part of Britain to another. New varieties of crop and types of animal were introduced at different times over the 850 years of the Iron Age. For example, the domestic cat and the chicken arrived in Britain in the last centuries of the Iron Age.

Appeal allowed in Rec row over Bath Rugby expansion plans
Posted: May 22, 2014|
An appeal has been allowed over a ruling which would have restricted the amount of land available to Bath Rugby at The Rec.
The decision banning Bath Rugby from increasing its footprint at its historic home has forced the club to put long-term development of a new stadium on temporary hold.
Instead, it has now applied for planning permission to add extra temporary seating to boost capacity for the next two seasons.
The tribunal judge who made the ruling earlier this year that only the land currently occupied by the club could be used in future has now agreed that the Recreation Ground Trust can try to have the stipulation overturned.
Related content
The issue will now go to a higher level charity tribunal, with tribunal judge Peter Hinchcliffe agreeing that there needs to be "a definite determination" of the matter.
The ruling had rejected a key proposal agreed by the Charity Commission to allow Bath Rugby a bigger share of The Rec to develop a 16,000-capacity arena for the 21st century.
Mr Hinchcliffe had been called in after official objections to the watchdog commission's "scheme" to redraw the rules of the charitable arrangements affecting the city centre area.
His ruling currently means that only the land occupied by the club's permanent stands and the seasonal temporary East Stand can be included in any new lease.
The trust said: "This means that the club cannot redevelop its ground as planned and the trust will not receive any replacement land or a capital sum in return for a new lease. Without such an arrangement, the trust cannot resolve the breach of charitable trust arising from Bath Rugby's existing lease.
"The trustees were surprised by the change to the boundaries made by the tribunal. They had worked with the Charity Commission to develop the 2013 scheme which considered future needs and not just past history. The scheme received widespread public support when it was published in November 2013.
"The trustees decided to apply for leave to appeal as they believe the tribunal decision limits their discretion, restricts access to financial resources for investment in recreation and may be based on some errors in law. It leaves the trust in the stalemate position that has prevailed for a number of years."
Chair of the trustees, Liz Bloor added: "We are pleased to have been granted permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal as this recognises that there is a case for challenging the decision on legal grounds. The ability of the trustees to manage the Recreation Ground into the future is an important matter of principle which we feel has to be reconsidered. We are currently taking legal advice on the appeal process and will be serving our notice of appeal by June 11."

Pork chops are one of my favorite meats to grill. They're quick-cooking and relatively cheap, but they haven't always been so well received. The popularity of pork took a nosedive in the 1970s because people were concerned about fat. To quell their fears, producers bred leaner pigs, so the pork we're eating today is much healthier (has less fat) than the pork you could buy 30 years ago. But this healthier pork is a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to lean cuts of meat like pork chops—good in that it's healthier for us because it's lower in fat, but bad in the flavor department. Fat helps meat stay juicy and flavorful when it's cooked. Is there a way to enjoy juicy pork chops with less fat? Yes!

Bonnie and Clyde is a beloved classic, which makes me wonder why it took so long for someone to get around to remaking it. Wait no more, fans of stuff being remade! The project will be helmed by Limitless director Neil Burger, based on a script from Sheldon Turner. The source material for the script, Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde actually differs quite a bit from the 1967 film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It reportedly doesn't paint the duo with such a glamourous brush, so I guess one could say it's "gritty."
The book posits that Clyde was sexually abused in prison and Bonnie was a whore. Ok. Fine. I'm sold. I will see this film. No word on casting or timeline here, but the wheels are in motion, and with the pedigree of the story, and the recent modest success of Limitless, expect these roles to be a hot ticket in Hollywood.

Multicultural Children's LiteratureAuthor:
Norton, Donna E.
Edition: 3
Pub Date: 2008
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Summary: Successful teaching means, in part, developing a keen sensitivity to cultural differences, creating a community of learners who are culturally responsive to one another. Exploring multicultural literature and its oral traditions is a good beginning for teachers to better understand their students and the significant influence that cultural backgrounds and experiences have on student behavior and student interactions.... The third edition ofMulticultural Children's Literature: Through the Eyes of Many Childrenexplores the oral traditions, history, and cultures represented in a wide array of literature. In separate chapters on African American, Latino, Asian, Jewish, Middle Eastern, and Native American literature, you will observe how cultures are influenced by history and recognize cultural values, beliefs, and philosophies shared through its literature. Using a five-phase approach, you will learn how to determine whether multicultural titles written for children and young adults are authentic examples of the cultures they portray. With that knowledge, you can engage students in a rich heritage of literature that will reveal commonalities and help them establish mutual respect for each other and for all cultures. [read more]

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Capital-Gains Tax Cut: A Gain for the Rich
Article excerpt
O cut in taxes on capital gains, no tax deal.
That's the message from congressional Republicans to the White House.
"It is premature to predict how the budget negotiations will go," notes Washington think-tank economist Iris Lav. "But President Clinton seems to have gone out of the way to send signals that a capital-gains tax cut is not off the table." Republicans have long sought a cut in capital-gains taxation as a key benefit to the well-to-do among their supporters. But they haven't had much success, with most Democrats opposed. "But now the politics have changed," says Alan Blinder, a Princeton University economist who was vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. For one thing, Republicans control Congress. Second, Democrats are more divided on the issue. They are hearing from constituents with small businesses and farms who could face sizable tax levies on their profits should they sell their properties. Ms. Lav takes the Republican leadership to task in a report written for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The GOP proposal would exclude from taxation half the profits from the sale of stocks, bonds, real estate, and other property. This change would bring the maximum effective tax rate on capital gains down from its current level of 28 percent to 19.8 percent. That, she notes, would be the lowest level in 40 years. A second change, Lav says, would assure that most capital gains would be taxed even below the 19.8 percent rate. Taxpayers who sell assets held for at least three years could exclude from taxation any profits that reflect the effects of inflation. Lav gives an example: A taxpayer buys $100,000 of stock, sells it after five years for $134,000. With 3 percent annual inflation, the Republican proposal would give the taxpayer a 62 percent tax cut - $3,580 versus $9,520 under current law for an investor paying at the maximum 28 percent rate. That's "a lower effective rate of tax on this profit than moderate-income families must pay on their wages and on interest they receive on modest savings accounts," she says. …

32GB TouchPad with slip case pops up on Woot for $249.99 12
Eight months after getting cancelled, the HP TouchPad is becoming a rare bird in the retail space. A few random retailers have them, some trying to sell the discontinued and heavily-discounted webOS tablet for full price, but whether or not you're actually going to find one is a crapshoot. But sometimes the TouchPad pops up with full retail force, on sale like nothing ever happened.
It's been nearly three months since we've seen the TouchPad last pop up on Woot's sale-of-the-day site, and back then they were asking $219.99 for a refurbished 32GB TouchPad (the refurbished 16GB version was available for $169.99). Today, however, new-in-box TouchPads are available through Woot, with the price tag of $249.99 (+$5 shipping), a price that includes a sleeve-style slip case.
Now, $249.99 is a full $100 higher than HP's "sell everything!" fire sale pricing from back-in-the-day, but it's also well under the initial list price of $599.99 for the 32GB TouchPad. As always with Woot, the deal is good for today and today only, so if you're looking for a TouchPad - or just have $255 burning a hole in your pocket and have been struck with the fancy for a 9.7-inch tablet that can run webOS and Android - the we suggest you head over to Woot as quickly as your browser and internet service provider will allow.

stupid Leo
lol, this "popped up" 12 hours ago. What happened to the good old days when stuff was news when it happened, rather than when it was convenient. I know you've got 6 internet-connected devices by your bed, Derek!
I sleep instead.
lol, me too. I'm just Joshin'.
Did anyone read the sales blurb Woot! came up with for this? It's brilliant!
Yeah...pretty snappy.
Its really too bad that HP didn't price the Touchpads closer to the $200/$250 range in the first place. Sure HP would have taken a bit of a loss on them, but can you imagine how many (more) TPs that would be out there and in turn the number of people that would've found WebOS. Such a missed opportunity!
*shaking head*
Awesome! Now I have another Pre3 AND a Touchpad coming my way! Thanks, Derek!!
Now all I have to do is get some accessories while they are still available :O
On a related note...I'm hoping that the Touchpad won't let me down too much. Love gestures and its really hard for me to imagine WebOS being "complete" without em. But hey...for ~$255, thats only ~$30 more than I paid for my Pre3s!!
Thanks again and long live WebOS!!!
Newegg has had these for a while and still has them for whoever needs a spare.
You know, I'm glad I got my 16 GB for $99 during the initial firesale, but I sure wouldn't pay more than the firesale price, even for a 32 GB. (I tried and failed to nail one then) The lack of support for webOS is becoming too obvious for even the diehards to deny. The online magazine section of the app store is still talking about March and it's coming up on May.
Too many better options for spending almost three bills.

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan election-winner Nawaz Sharif has picked a veteran finance minister to serve in his Cabinet as Karachi stocks hit an all-time high Monday over hopes his pro-business agenda can revive the economy.
Sharif, who has sought to present himself as a pragmatist who can do business with the United States and improve relations with nuclear rival India, won a resounding victory in Saturday's landmark polls.
In an astonishing comeback 14 years after he was ousted by a military coup and briefly jailed, his centre-right Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) is projected to win 130 of the 176 directly elected seats in the national assembly.
The outgoing Pakistan People's Party suffered a crushing defeat, collapsing from 125 to 33 seats, according to newspaper projections, but enough to emerge as the second largest party and likely to go into opposition.
Cricket star Imran Khan, who promised a "tsunami" propelling him into power, appeared to have slipped into third place on 29 seats – still an astonishing achievement for a party which previously won only one seat in 2002.
Sharif will likely need only the estimated 27 independents and his proportion of seats reserved for women and minorities, to secure a majority in the first democratic transition in a country accustomed to long periods of military rule.
Ishaq Dar, who served as finance minister in Sharif's second administration and again briefly in 2008, would return to the job, PML-N spokesman Siddiqul Farooq said. Dar had "all the facts and figures at his fingertips" and will in June present the budget for the next financial year starting on July 1, Farooq said.
In Karachi the benchmark index of top 100 shares rose 1.6 percent to 20,232 points in early trade, surpassing the 20,000 mark for the first time as the election results defied analysts' predictions of a weak parliament.
Investors are hopeful of an economic revival under Sharif, whose privatization policies earned him a good reputation among traders and industrialists during his two previous tenures in the 1990s.
"We have credibility on the economic front, the unprecedented surge in the stock market today is proof," the PML-N spokesman said. – Agencies

8 Purchase Influence Indicators for Links that Influence Rankings AND Purchase Decisions
When qualifying link prospects you inevitably find a segment of people who influence purchase decisions as well as the search engine rankings. Their ability to sway opinions - and search rankings - within your market makes them a highly valuable link target. Simply writing an acquisition email that makes a link offer leaves a great deal of value on the table in B2B and B2C markets with long and research-intensive buy cycles.
Influencing the Purchase Influencer Link Prospect Segment
Ideally you ally with this influencer segment and provide them with ongoing data, research and expertise access that aids their agenda and educates them about your products and services. You do this in the effort to influence their recommendations and build a sales referral stream, as well as a feedback channel for new business directions.
Two Purchase Influencer Challenges
The large scale link builder faces two challenges in maximizing relationships with purchase decision influencers. The first challenge is identifying purchase influencers using consistent cues from the link prospect data set. There are some consistent cues we have found as we sort through thousands of link prospects, however it is often gut instinct that suggests that a prospect could mean more to the organization than a link.
The second challenge is in building and maintaining these relationships. Ideally the large-scale link builders can hand off these high-value prospects to a media relations and content creation team that connects these purchase influencers with the internal expertise, research and other informational resources they value.
8 Indicators of Purchase Influence Within Large Link Prospect Data Sets
It's unfortunate to automators, but the majority of work involved with identifying purchase influencers must happen by hand. This is because many of the indicators of link prospect value are also indicators that the individual could be a purchase influencer. Here are eight ways to tell if your link prospects are link influencers too.
1) Are There Reviews or Review Services Published On the Site?
When reviewing by hand, look for reviews or review sections on the link prospect's site. You could potentially recrawl the sites of your link prospects and look for the term "review" in the URL or in the body text. Also look in the question and answer or frequently asked questions site sections. Also investigate comment threads - is the site owner making recommendations there? Finally, in some B2B sectors you find the presence of analysts whose function is to provide purchase recommendations to businesses. You may find that reviews are mentioned in an about us, contact us or services section of the site.
2) In-Link Indicators of Purchase Influence in Your Market Space
Inlink data can provide a great deal of insight into the purchase influence a link prospect has in your space. Is the URL of your link prospect linked on other link pages and blogrolls within your link prospect data set? If so, this can indicate that their opinion is well regarded. Do their backlinks include newspapers, .edus and other influential or niche media sites? If they have won favor from sites with high editorial standards it is likely that their opinions will influence purchase decisions. Does your link prospect have inlinks from your competition? This can be an indicator of links prompted by positive reviews or testimonials. If they do have reviews, who links to them and how often?
3) Are They Members of Forums and Other Social Media Sites?
Sometimes a website's appearance belies the influence the site's creator has within a community, especially in B2C markets with passionate participants. Indicators of community influence appear as inlinks from industry-related forums and other social media sites. This becomes especially easy to identify if the link prospect includes site links in their tag or signature line. Just because someone doesn't blog on their site doesn't mean they're not influential in online communities.
4) The Link Prospect URL is On a Niche Industry Publication
Link prospects that are niche industry publications fall squarely into the purchase influencer segment. Identify the writers whose topic areas and agendas meet with your own and get busy building the relationship.
5) The Individual's Name is the URL
In certain industries you find a great deal of influencers have created personal websites to showcase their professional abilities and successes. If you find URLs in your link prospect set that are personal names then these deserve a closer look as potential purchase influencers.
6) Comprehensive, Well Tended Link Pages
If the link prospect maintains a comprehensive links or resources page then this person could well be a purchase influencer. Link page maintenance is ongoing effort and ongoing effort indicates passion for a space. This can sometimes translate into purchase influence.
7) Do they Link to Their Quotes on Other Sites?
It's great to find link prospects who cover news related to your space - they give you an excellent opportunity to make the offer of exclusive news. One indicator that this link prospect is also a purchase influencer is if news agencies call them for input on news stories. Often this type of influencer will mention and link to instances in which they have contributed to coverage of a story.
8) Cross Check Your Link Prospects with Analyst Relations and Public Relations Lists
If you have access to contact lists created by public relations or analyst relations departments you should cross check your urls and any names you gather with them. AR or PR departments may provide guidance for you on outreach, or devise concepts for working with these contacts to cultivate more inlinks or alter existing link text.
In large-scale link building efforts, link builders comprehensively sort and analyze the content space of a market. If they know the tell-tale signs of a purchase influencer they can treat this valuable segment with the care required to turn them into a lead generating ally.

The 2015 Annual Fund
Tuition alone does not cover Prep's full operating costs. The 2014-2015 Annual Fund represents a significant portion of each year's operating budget and we rely on the generosity of alumni, current and past parents, trustees and friends to support to the Jesuit mission of our school.
Annual Fund gifts have a direct impact on our students and faculty in an immediate way. Your contribution allows current programs to continue and new initiatives to begin. In addition, your gifts will provide the necessary resources to:

Every Gift Counts
We need and value everyone's support in every way. Your gift, regardless of the amount, will provide additional resources and will often serve to encourage others to make gifts. Everyone who is solicited is asked to give generousl and an appropriate gift is one in proportion to your ability to give.

Deb Engels seemed remarkably upbeat as she readied her Cumberland High girls' hoop team for a two-plus hour practice at the Wellness Center on Monday afternoon.
You'd figure her mind-set instead would border on concern, given the fact she'll return only one starter – her daughter Kate – from a team that closed last year's Division I-North campaign with a dismal 4-14 mark.
The league should be highly-competitive once more, but Engels expects this season's crop to be more than capable of doing some damage.
"Kate has been my point guard, but I'm going to move her to the 'four' (or power forward) because I have more resources this time around," she stated. "I have more guards coming in. I took in 15 freshmen this year, and I have 15 returnees who either saw some time at the varsity level or played quite a bit on the JV team.
"I'm keeping 30 for both varsity and JV, and I've never done that before," she added. "It would be really hard to cut any of the freshmen because their talent and work ethic is phenomenal."
Of the dozen contingents in our publications' readership area – that is, the Blackstone Valley – only four in all three Rhode Island Interscholastic League divisions finished with a .500 record or better. (They include St. Raphael in Division II-Central, Lincoln in Division II-North and Davies and North Smithfield in Division III-North).
Still, most coaches share Engels' hope that their clubs will improve this time around.
That being said, here is a list of players and teams to watch as the campaign draws near:
Cumberland finished in fourth place in II-North in 2012-13 behind eventual state champion La Salle (17-1 during the regular season), Smithfield (11-7) and Ponaganset (5-13), but Engels has high hopes for this new group.
In fact, she claimed she already knows who will start when the Clippers travel to Mount St. Charles for an Injury Fund tilt on Friday night.
Engels indicated she will move her daughter to strong forward because of the abilities of freshman point guard Julianne Ross. She will join sophomores Taylor Fay and Sarah Marsland at shooting guard and small forward, respectively, and senior Erin Rosa at center.
"Erin didn't start last year because I had four seniors, but she did play some at the varsity level," she noted. "I've got more flexibility now. Julianne is an excellent ball handler with great court vision; with her it's innate. She just has it. You can't teach the skills she has."
Other key contributors, she hopes, will be shooting guard Danielle Attardo and small forward Allie Baglini, both senior quad-captains with the younger Engels and Fay, not to mention juniors Caitlin Cotter, Madisyn Tremblay, Cassidy Nunes and Kerrin Williams.
Among the underclassmen: Sophomore sisters Christine and Sydney Tilton; and freshmen Brianna Frankina and Mackenzie Walton.
"We've only been in here practicing a week, but I'm loving it; because of the talented freshmen, it's making everybody work harder," she explained. "Last year, I had no one to push the seniors because they knew they were locked in. These freshmen have won numerous state middle school championships in basketball and softball (most of them representing North Cumberland), so they're just used to winning.
"That mentality is carrying over," she continued. "I can put a freshman against a senior (in one-on-one drills), and they don't care; they're not intimidated at all. They go in and want to win those battles.
"Our goal is to finish at least third in Division I-North. I don't know what everyone else looks like (in the league), except probably La Salle, but we want to finish at .500. I still believe these girls can fare better."
Also in I-North, Woonsocket placed last with a 1-17 record, but hopes to improve upon that finish with more experience coming back.
St. Raphael captured a Division II-Central co-championship with Moses Brown a season ago, as both squads mustered terrific 14-2 marks, but the Saints dropped a tight semifinal loss to the Quakers.
That still doesn't sit well with head coach Fred Saunders.
"They won it by a few points, and the fact they had 37 free throws had something to do with it," he stated. "Even if we don't achieve a better (regular-season) record, I'm hoping we can improve upon our competitive, collective mind-set. That means we need to play at a more consistent level for a full game, every second of 32 minutes.
"We also want to move deeper into the playoffs," he added. "Our ultimate goal is to win a state championship, and we're going to have to work harder in order to get there. There are some tough teams in II-Central, and throughout the entire division. It's not going to be an easy job, but with our talent and depth, we should be right in the hunt."
Saunders will bring back three starters from that squad, among them junior Seun Shittu and the senior-junior tandem of sisters Rybecca (a co-captain) and Danyele Gonzalez.
"Seun is our best pure athlete, and the fastest girl on the team; she's been a very good player for us, as she averaged 10 points a game (as a guard)," he said. "Danyele is our point, and she averaged eight (per tilt); she was injured for the playoff game against Moses Brown, and that didn't help.
"Rybecca will be our small forward, and we expect her to be our leading scorer."
Fellow senior co-captain Kelsy Lynch has earned a starting bid at center, as has junior Kaylee Oliver at forward.
"She only played half the season last year because she was a transfer in from Case (in Swansea)," he offered. "I think she could be one of the top scorers in the state, as she has one of the most fluid three-point shots I've seen in a long, long time."
Saunders also has been blessed with another transfer, sophomore forward Olivia Jenetta of Barrington, who will see significant court time with senior center Felicia Baccari.
"She's going to bring us some solid inside scoring; she's got good touch around the rim, and she's also a lefty, which makes her shot tough to defend. She'll be another key rebounder for us as well," he said. "Hopefully, we'll be stronger on the boards, as that will allow us to get out on the break and score some easy points, then get back into our pressure defense."
The only other contingent to manage a .500 record of better came from Lincoln, mentored by Andy Hallam.
The Lions (8-8) took fourth in II-North behind Scituate (14-2), Johnston (13-3) and North Providence (9-11), but ahead of Burrillville and Mount St. Charles, both of whom finished 5-11.
As far as Hallam is concerned, Lincoln should be vastly better than a year ago, and his reasoning is simple: He has four starters returning, including senior quad-captains Casie Beauchemin, Kellyn Dyer, McKenzie Cavanaugh and Shirley Carrington, all of whom played critical roles in the Lions' capture of a second straight R.I. Division I fast-pitch softball crown.
Beauchemin will be the one directing the offense, while Dyer is the shooting guard, Carrington a small forward and Cavanaugh the power forward.
"We may go to a four-guard system like Villanova," Hallam mentioned. "We're not the biggest team in the world, but we're smart and experienced, and this is a very hard-working group. Meg Chatowsky, a sophomore who has really been exploding to the basket and picked up our defense, will be a '2' or '3.'
"Last year, she was a swing player (between varsity and JV), but she's going to see a lot of playing time for us," he added. "Then there's the girl we call 'The Warrior,' and that's (sophomore) Maddie Georgeu. She's really a good scorer. She catches the ball and sees the hoop well. In my opinion, she'll be one of the better scorers in II-North."
Others he anticipates making solid contributions include freshmen Jenna Andrews and Bethany Denio. Hallam claimed they bring a wealth of talent despite their youth.
"We don't have the greatest talent, but we'll compete with anyone because, frankly, these girls don't like to lose," he said. "I coach the (varsity) baseball team, and I've coached boys for years; these girls really match their intensity. It's something to behold."
At Burrillville, three-year head coach Lindsay Rachlow has stepped down from her position to join her old Broncos' mentor, Marty Crowley, as his assistant with the King Philip Regional High girls' team.
The good news: Another of Crowley's ex-players, Samantha Stanton – also a teammate with Rachlow – has taken the reins, and will have a plethora of superb players returning.
Seniors Tori Libby (who helped the girls' soccer squad snare the Division III state title just a few weeks ago) and Ruby Perry will lead the way, as well as juniors Sam Liberty, Betsy Dumais, Catherine Keable and Lauren LaMontagne.
How far the Broncos go will be determined by how Stanton's underclassmen jell with the experienced players.
Then there's the Mounties, who like Burrillville went 5-11 last winter. Second-year head coach Jessica Shiel has three starters coming back, including senior guard/forward Noreen Mulledy, classmate and forward Amy Schmitt and junior point guard Emi Cadden.
Unfortunately, Shiel discovered in November that feisty senior guard Theresa Pereira will not play at all due to a knee injury sustained in a state playoff soccer game.
"But she is going to come back to be a peer leader to her teammates," she noted. "All six of my seniors are involved as leaders of one or more organizations within the school, so that's huge for us. It's going to help."
Besides the trio of returnees, senior guard Ally Goralski will start after missing most of the campaign with mononucleosis; Shiel claimed she has "a fantastic shot."
She also plans on guard Becky Tillinghast and forward Katelyn Gagnon, both seniors, to play ingeral roles in MSC's improvement.
"I absolutely think we're better; this is my second year, so now the girls understand more about my system, and they're very hard workers," she stated. "I also know the girls were neither happy nor satisfied with last year, and I think they want to prove something to themselves and the rest of the league.
In Division II-East, Tolman and Central Falls shared the cellar with identical 2-14 records, but both are hell-bent on achieving .500 status – or better.
Veteran Tigers' chief Tammy Drape has two returning starters, among them senior co-captains Marlene DeBarros and Francheska Kelly, and she's planning on seeing some magic from sophomore guard Aicha Kone, not to mention classmate Fenda Konte.
"Aicha will start, and I'm really looking to Fenda at center," Drape offered. "Fenda's tall with a long body, and she's young and raw, but she's got all the right tools. We're working on improving them right now.
"We're going to be really young and inexperienced; I've got eight freshmen, 10 sophomores and only two juniors and seniors (each)," she continued. "We do, however, have some good, skilled players. We'll have to see how well they mesh with Marlene and Francheska."
At nearby Central Falls, coach Jayar Santos has some experience coming back as well, and leading that list are seniors Yesenia Biascochea, Selena Martinez, Paula Meneses, Erika Carter, Agatha Vargas, Jessie Barrios and Marien Peraza.
Junior Lesley McBurney also figures to be a significant figure in the Warriors' plan to move up in the II-East standings.
The interesting question here is this: Can Division III-North co-champions Davies and North Smithfield repeat the fine 11-3 seasons they had a season ago?
The Northmen's mentor, David Ruff, chose to retire after his club dropped a tough semifinal decision to eventual state champion Juanita Sanchez last March at Rhode Island College. Still, his assistant, Alisha Pirri, will replace him, meaning North Smithfield will have plenty of similarities in coaching style.
Pirri lost nine supremely-talented seniors, among them Keila Strick, to graduation, though she also has some solid scorers returning.
Among them: Sophomore Sam Kent, whom Ruff called "probably the key player on the team," seniors Katherine West, Angela Barber and Angela Medeiros; juniors Emilie Guertin and Melissa Juhr; and incoming freshman Lorenza O'Donnell.
With the Patriots, they too lost some significant athletes to graduation, though Joe Handy and Scott Cooper have vast experience at leading their troops not just on the court but the softball diamond as well.
Bishop Keough managed a 6-8 final mark a season ago and hopes to regain the success it had two years back, when it finished well above .500.
Under long-time head coach John Lickert, Shea muddle through a 5-9 league season and took fourth, ahead of only winless St. Patrick.
In order to get back into the winning fold, Lickert will rely upon some solid seniors, among them Kathleen Gomes, Lourdes Anariba and Amie Mbye. The Raiders also will return junior standouts Karla Argueta, Carol Rodriguez and Brenda Paiz (with those seniors, they led the girls' soccer team to another playoff berth); and sophomores Katrina Horne, Tatiana Ramos, Jackie Teixeira and Monica Vieira.View more articles in:

(Hillsdale, Mich.) Day 1 and 2 - The Heptathlon at the 47th annual Hillsdale College "Gina" Relays isn't what it used to be. Just three women showed up to contest the seven events this year. Cornerstone's Anita Souza finished eleven points ahead of teammate Brittany Green to win as the Golden Eagles landed new personal bests in six events.
Thursday, Souza and Green completed the first four events of the heptathlon. Anita improved her season best and spot on the NAIA national qualifying list running 14.39. Brittany followed in 15.66. All three competitors cleared 4' 11 ¾" in the high jump. Green took the lead, outscoring Souza by almost 300 points in the shot put with a new school record of 41' 2 ½". The old mark of 40' 4" was set in 2005 by Vicki Wittingen. Souza got back within seven points finishing the 200 meters in 25.49 to Green's 26.91. Brittany completed the day with 2817 points to Anita's 2810. Krystin Reiser of Bowling Green stood third at 2357.
While most of the day was sunny and a bit cool for sprinting and jumping, conditions for the evening's 5,000 meter run were ideal. CallyAnne Wyma let a trio of Golden Eagles to new personal bests. The sophomore from St. Louis finished eighth in the second head and 32nd out of 77 running 18:44.02. Classmate, Sydney Tremaine finished sixth in the third heat and 55th overall in 19:34.83 and Erin Laplander lowered her best time to 20:34 in 68th.
Friday, the heptathlon resumed with more sun and seasonal temperatures for the first time this spring. While the long jump is one of Souza and Green's better events, neither came within 18 inches of her best. Brittany maintained her lead jumping 16' 6 ¾" to Anita's 16' 4". Next up, Souza added eight feet to her previous best in the javelin, throwing 76' 8". Brittany extended her lead with a 102' 3" effort, going into the last event 173 points ahead. Running her first ever 800 meter race, Souza followed Reiser for 700 meters then pulled clear on the homestretch, hitting the line in 2:30.51, sixteen seconds and 184 points ahead of Green. Anita's total of 4402 points won the competition with Brittany second in 4391. Both scores are in the top ten in the NAIA this season.
In the third heat of 100 meters, two false starts thinned the field. Katie Walker won the heat and placed fourth overall in a PR 12:49. Lindsay Lipa finished second in a new best time 12.78 and thirteenth overall. Walker also finished third in her heat of the 200 meters with another PR, 26.32, good for fifteenth overall. Freshman, Rachel McNay improved to 1:12.20 in the 400 meter hurdles, taking fourth in her heat and fifteenth overall.
The distance women finished the day with four more personal bests. Running in the first heat of the 800 meters, Julie Oosterhouse battled the lead pack that went out slowly and never broke up, finishing fourth in 2:17.10 and sixth overall. Julia Contreras took third in the second heat and tenth overall, lowering her best time to 2:18.43. Audrey Tremaine also ran a PR of 2:21.89, for sixth in her heat and 22nd out of 48.
Day 3 - On the final day of the Hillsdale "Gina" Relays, the Cornerstone Golden Eagles added two more national qualifying performances.
Senior, Julia Contreras got things started in the 1500 meters. Racing the event for the first time in good weather conditions this season, Contreras took full advantage, running in the lead pack through three laps. Covering the final 400 meter in 72 seconds, Julia reached the finish in fourth, clocking 4:42.24, just under the NAIA provisional standard of 4:42.50. The seven-second PR held up for sixth overall.
In the next heat, freshman, Tanner Hostetler led a 5,6,8,10 CU finish running 5:01.87 with Kaylee Carew (5:03.38), Liz Baller (5:04.53) and Trinity Hulst (5:05.87) close behind.
The 4 x 100 meter relay of Lindsay Lipa, Anita Souza, Kaitlyn Bronkema and Katie Walker placed fourth in 48.81.
CU ended the day with the 4 x 800 meter relay looking for a national qualifying time from four women who had run five races in the previous 25 hours. Doubling off Friday night's steeplechase school record, Jill Louisignau led off in 2:21.2. Audrey Tremaine matched her 2:21.9 from the open 800 the day before then passed to Contreras. The senior had enough left to close a ten meter gap and pass conference-rivals, Davenport with a 2:20.7 effort. Julie Oosterhouse turned in a quick 2:15.9 to bring the Golden Eagles home in second place in the third fastest time in school history, 9:20.13.
Jill Louisignau took four seconds off her school record in the 3000 meter steeplechase, improving her spot in the NAIA national list. Her time of 11:14.07 put her fourteenth. Liz Baller chopped 29 seconds off her best time in the event, moving to third on the CU all-time list. She finished 25th in 11:45.26.

National air quality has improved since the 1990's, but many challenges remain in protecting public health and the environment from air quality problems.
Air pollution in the United States poses a public health threat affecting potentially millions of people throughout the country. It is associated with health problems that include increased emergency department visits and hospitals stays for breathing and heart problems, asthma, and increases in illnesses such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
Tracking air pollution can help people understand how often they are exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution. Having these data can also help public health professionals or policymakers understand which areas may be most in need of prevention and control activities.
CDC and the Environmental Protection Agency have worked together to develop a way to make modeled estimates available for areas of the country that do not have air quality monitors and to fill in the time gaps when monitors may not be recording data. On the Tracking Network, both Air Quality System (AQS) monitor data and modeled datasets are available to track possible exposures to ozone and PM2.5.

I do not know if it is The answer but fin an answer here : http://caffenol.blogspot.com/2010/06...velopment.html
some people say the coffee has very little to do with it, and it is just the vit c that does the developing ...
i don't believe'em !
with coffee alone just let it stand for a few hours,
it works very well, some say better than everything else ...
stand and semi stand and caf-c yields some very good results as well ...
Just look up Reinholds blog and be astounded!
perhaps you should experiment a bit more before coming to your conclusions.
Coffee developers came to be as part of a RIT experiment
Then in 2003-2004 some brought them to PhotoNet. There Roland Simmons, Donald Qualls, Lex Jenkins,myself and a few others carried out tons of experiments
There was someone else very important, Patrick C Gainer who introduced us to adding vitamin C to Rodinal, and then we tried it back on caffenol
credit to whom credit is due....
