A donation? What is it for?
ChristianHJW spoke to Frank Klemm, the long-time developer of MPC who took over from Andree Buschmann, and he found out that Frank's PC is out of order. Its certainly not like he didn't have the money to repair it, no. But you maybe know this feeling: There is something you have to do, say repair the car, but you can't find your toolbox anymore. This is all so frustrating, as you know its a lot of work and even the first necessity to start working on it is missing, you decide to take the bus instead...
This wasn't the only reason that he didn't continue to program like he used to. But our hope is that with a new, fully setup PC for him we could give him the 'tool' to actually start coding again and show him that we REALLY do care about his work, and appreciate his outstanding work on MPC. Frank confirmed that he will accept the PC.
So what could result from this?
When Frank will be productive again with a new PC, we will likely see a finalized SV 7.5 of MPC. He may also pick up work on SV8 again, or concentrate on something completely different. Whatever he will do, we are sure that he will put this PC to good use, and that the work of this gifted programmer will benefit the community. However, don't think of this as a payment and obligation for him to immediately program something. It is rather an acknowledgement and a chance.
The donation has ended. For any questions about a pending donation, PM me.

One of our favorite things to do is to road trip and one of my favorite things when we road trip is to take picture of any all interesting cars.
While traveling in northern Arizona we ran across this unique display of old trucks, just outside the Dewey-Humboldt.
Enjoy the pics.
Thanks for reading.
Next up…The trucks.
There were some beautiful and well done trucks at this show. Check them out!!
More coming up.
Thanks for reading.
So you are out at the mall or grabbing some groceries at the store and you are headed back to your car in the parking lot and you catch something out of the corner of your eye. It's out of the ordinary, it really shouldn't be there, especially parked between that 1998 Honda with almost no paint and the huge Cummings Diesel pick up with a bench car seat bungy corded to the tie downs in the bed, but there it is, glowing and out-of-place.
That is what these segments will be about. Sometime there will be comments from the owner and sometimes I won't have a chance to chat with them. There is a fine line between loving cars and stalking. (Standing around while your milk getting warm and your ice cream is leaking out of the hole in the plastic bag, waiting for the owner is on the line. Hey..it only happened once!!!…Come on now!!!..You've done it!!!)
Up this time is a GMC Panel van from about 1951. Found this one at a local Fry's grocery store parking lot. I got a chance to take a few pics and didn't get to meet the owner.
Here are some pics.
In the above pic you can see that the air conditioning is on. (OK..is just a vent but it is pretty cool.)
What are you finding in a parking lot?
Drop a note.
Thanks for reading.

February 14, 2014
In New York City, the (fashion) shows went on, despite the snow.
Feb. 6 to 13 was Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and diamond brand Hearts on Fire helped to get it started as one of the sponsors of the Go Red for Women/The Heart Truth Dress Collection runway show, held at Lincoln Center.
Participants in the show--which this year included actress Anna Sophia Robb, skier Lindsey Vonn and rock icon Joan Jett--donned red dresses created by famous designers and Hearts on Fire jewelry with the aim of raising awareness about the No. 1 killer of women in America: heart disease.
Meanwhile, luxury jeweler Chopard was honored for its sustainability efforts at the small party in New York while Zenith, a watch brand owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, feted this year's Oscar nominees at a party in Los Angeles.

Yes, Bieber and Gomez aren't doing so well at the moment, but they have tentative plans to meet up before his Brooklyn concert tonight, a source tells the Mail. "This isn't new for them, they often have a tumultuous relationship. We all expect them to work it out." More from the constant flood of updates currently streaming through the gossip universe: In a radio interview Saturday, Bieber addressed the split, Celebuzz reports. "I don't know what to say," he said. "I don't know what's going on in my life. To even assess that it doesn't make sense 'cause I have not made any comment." That night, he made an interesting cover song choice at a concert, singing Justin Timberlake's break-up ballad, "Cry Me a River." Sources tell People that Gomez was the one to do the walking. "With them being apart so much it got complicated," says one. "She had some trust issues." The Victoria's Secret model Bieber has supposedly moved on with reassured angry Beliebers over the weekend, tweeting, "hey everyone. please calm down. he is all yours!! :) please :)" TMZ also confirms there's no truth to those relationship rumors, and adds that Justin wants to reunite with Selena and believes they will—especially because they've broken up and gotten back together oh so many times in the past. People and E! pull together hints from the past few weeks that trouble was brewing. Among them: lots of fighting, suspicious tweets, and even a recent comment from Bieber's mom that the two weren't making marriage plans.

Although it's possible your baby's transposition of the great arteries may be diagnosed before birth, it can be difficult to diagnose. Prenatal tests for transposition of the great arteries aren't usually done unless your doctor suspects your baby may have congenital heart disease. After your baby is born, his or her doctor will immediately suspect a heart defect such as transposition of the great arteries if your baby has blue-tinged skin (cyanosis) or if your baby is having trouble breathing.
Sometimes, the bluish skin color isn't as noticeable if your baby has another heart defect, such as a hole in the wall separating the left and right chambers of the heart (septum), that's allowing some oxygen-rich blood to travel through the body. If the hole is in the upper chambers of the heart, it's called an atrial septal defect. In the lower chambers of the heart, the defect is called a ventricular septal defect. It's also possible your baby could have a patent ductus arteriosus — an opening between the heart's two major blood vessels, the aorta and the pulmonary artery — that allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix.
As your baby becomes more active, the heart defects won't allow enough blood through and eventually the cyanosis will become obvious.
Your baby's doctor may also suspect a heart defect if he or she hears a heart murmur — an abnormal whooshing sound caused by turbulent blood flow.
A physical exam alone isn't enough to accurately diagnose transposition of the great arteries, however. One or more of the following tests are necessary for an accurate diagnosis:

Regaining Hormonal Balance is Easier Than You Think - By Dr. Screven Edgerton,OB/Gyn – Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Doctor, Functional Medicine Doctor, Anti-Aging Doctor, Women's Health Issues, Thyroid Disease,Weight Management, Nutrition, Detoxification, Brain Wellness, Acupuncture Treatment Doctor – Austin, Texas
You'd be surprised how quickly you can restore your hormones to optimal levels and start looking better, feeling better, and living better, free of the Menopausal & Andropausal symptoms that haunt you.
The Amazing Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones
Yes, the same hormones that nurture a growing fetus and keep women and men youthful. The same hormones that keep the breasts full, bones strong, the colon healthy, the mind sharp, skin vibrant, and sexuality soaring.
Yet, instead of embracing our physiology and the hormones we need for survival, physicians have been blindsided by the pharmaceutical industry and the notion that synthetic hormones are as safe as what our body naturally gives us.
These are generally plant derived substances that are engineered to have the exact chemical structure as the hormones in our bodies. The body recognizes these "natural" hormones as their own. Hormone replacement can have amazing benefit. Here are a few:
· Improved energy
· Better memory and mental acuity
· Cardio protection
· Weight loss
· Bone health
· Reduce or eliminate symptoms of PMS and PCOS
· Reduce or eliminate menopausal symptoms
· Balance of mood and less depression
· Maintenance of good skin, hair and teeth
· Improved muscle definition and normalization of weight
· Enhanced libido and sexuality
Hormone replacement is not a new invention. Replacement with bioidentical hormones isn't either. Popularity of natural hormone replacement and returning to a focus on physiology is what is novel. The most significant factor driving the increased interest in bioidentical hormones is the rising fear that conventional HRT is posing a significant risk. There are clear benefits to hormone replacement.
For physicians the question should not be if we are to replace hormone deficiencies, but rather which hormone is the best for our patient. If we (physicians) can base our decisions on physiology, medical evidence, and the best hormone replacement, we will be doing the best for our patients. With the mass media controlling the pulse and ultimately the fear of the public, even physicians can get bogged down with what may be best. It seems an easy alternative would be to just advise women to not take any hormones and just embrace the aging process. This is not the right approach!
The experts from the menopausal and gynecological academies claim that there are no studies to support the use or benefit of compounded bioidentical hormones as opposed to conventional, pre-manufactured products. True. The FDA approval process for synthetic drugs is meant to prove that a drug is effective for the purpose intended, is absorbed properly, and maintains adequate serum levels to guarantee efficacy. These conventional, manufactured drugs are standardized and guaranteed to have a certain consistency and effectiveness.
So how do we know that the prescriptions compounded by hand in compounding pharmacies are consistent and effective? We simply test levels in our patients and assure that what we prescribe consistently provides protective levels with the pharmacies we use. If we weren't seeing good levels, we would question the pharmacy on the source of their pure ingredients and their compounding process. Compounding pharmacies can have different procedures, but we must assure through serum testing that what is being dispensed provides exact amounts of hormones and efficacy.
Thyroid is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. It regulates temperature, metabolism, and cerebral function. Over time, the amount of thyroid hormone decreases and conversion from T4 to T3 is decreased. Patients can have normal labs and symptoms of thyroid deficiency. The range of "normal" thyroid is so wide that many individuals are suffering from insufficient thyroid despite having values in the normal range. There is a wide range of benefits for the thyroid hormone:
· Increased energy
· Increases fat breakdown
· Weight loss
· Lowers cholesterol
· Cardiovascular protection
· Improved cerebral metabolism
· Prevents cognitive impairment
· Protects against bone loss
· Assists with irregular menses & ovulation
· Improves thin sparse hair and nails
· Improvement of bipolar disorder
Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone synthesized from cholesterol and naturally found in the brain, gonads, and adrenal gland. It is the precursor to DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Pregnenolone is an imperative "brain-supporting" hormone that often decreases with age, leading to memory ailments, mood changes, stress and anxiety. Replenishing pregnenolone levels can lead to improved stress and anxiety, balanced mood, memory function, better sleep.
Estrogen is predominately a female hormone produced in the ovaries and the adrenal glands. The female body produces three types of estrogen. Estradiol is the most abundant during the reproductive years. Estrone becomes the most prominent in untreated menopause. Estriol is the byproduct of the other two and has the weakest estrogenic effect. In addition to the cosmetic benefits – stronger hair, smoother skin, and improved muscle tone, estrogen has been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and colon cancer. Additionally, there is protection and/or reduction of stroke, cholesterol, Alzheimer 's disease, menopause symptoms, memory loss, genital tract atrophy and depression.
We must learn to not fear estrogen. If it were harmful, then we would remove women's ovaries after childbearing.
Both men and women have testosterone in their bodies. Testosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes. This amazing hormone goes beyond controlling sex drive to give the body true vitality. We have seen from medical studies that optimal testosterone can:
· Increased lean muscle mass
· Increased endurance
· Decreased fat
· Increased exercise tolerance
· Enhanced well being
· Improved bone density
· Improved skin tone
· Improved healing
· Cardiovascular protection
· Decreased blood pressure
· Improves depression
· Prevents Alzheimer's and dementia
· Improves lipids
· Improves insulin sensitivity
· Increased libido
· Enhance sexual performance
Progesterone gets it's name from being the hormone of pregnancy (Pro-gestational-hormone). Progesterone is secreted by the ovary. There are receptor sites in the uterus, breast, vagina, blood vessels and brain. One of its primary roles to maintain balance with estrogen. When women reach their forties, progesterone typically is the first hormone to slack off. This is mainly because ovulation is slowing down. This is what some term estrogen dominance but truly it is progesterone deficiency. Progesterone's amazing qualities include:
- Decreased menstrual bloating
- Decreased menstrual headache
- Protection from uterine cancer
- Protection from breast cancer
- Improves libido
- Reduces bloating
- Improves sleep
- Improves mood
- Reduction of PMS and menopause symptoms
- Helps with polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Improves osteoporosis, ovarian cysts, fibrocystic disease
- Increase HDL cholesterol (Heart Dz prevention)
DHEA is a hormone secreted by nerve tissue and the adrenal glands. It is an endocrine precursor to other hormones (Testosterone, Progesterone, and Estrogen). This is one of our stress hormones and is a backup to the cortisol production in our bodies.
DHEA levels fall with age but maintaining an optimal level helps:
· Reduces cardiovascular disease
· Improves mood & well being
· Decreases cholesterol and body fat
· Prevents osteoporosis
· Assists with sleep
· FDA approved for lupus
· Improved erectile dysfunction
· Protects against insulin resistance
· Improved immunity
· Neurotransmitter
· Prevention of diabetes/obesity
· Possible reduction of depressive symptoms
· Decreased accumulation of abdominal fat

Erin Tucker
Erin Tucker, a four-time Southeastern Conference Track Champion and six-time All-American at the University of Florida from 1994-99, returned to his alma mater where he is in his third season as the assistant track and field coach for hurdles.
Tucker's pupils had a banner year in 2013, garnering four All-America honors to go along with an SEC and NCAA title. Junior Eddie Lovett, who switched his allegiance to the U.S. Virgin Islands earlier this year, won the 2013 men's 60-meter hurdles title at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a meet-record 7.50, notching a new school record and racing the fourth-fastest time in NCAA history. Lovett claimed his third consecutive SEC Indoor title in the event, setting the second-fastest time in an SEC Championship meet in 7.54. For his efforts, Lovett was named the 2013 USTFCCCA South Region Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Year.
Senior Ugonna Ndu became the Florida record holder in the women's 400-meter hurdles with her runner-up finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships of 56.12. Ndu earned three All-America accolades outdoors in the 100-meter hurdles, 400-meter hurdles and the 4x400-meter relay, running the third leg. Ndu won her first Nigerian national title in the women's 100-meter hurdles and finished as the runner-up in the 400-meter hurdles. Ndu will represent her country at the 14th IAAF World Championships in Moscow this summer.
In 2012, sophomore Eddie Lovett claimed his second consecutive 60-meter hurdles title at Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships, while scoring at both the NCAA Indoor Championships (8th – 7.72, 60H – tying the school record) and NCAA Outdoor Championships (5th – 13.82, 110H). As the youngest competitor in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials, he advanced to the semifinals of the event, racing to a personal best of 13.49 to move into second all-time in Florida school history. In 2012, Lovett was a two-time All-American and two-time All-SEC (first team indoors, second team outdoors), while also being named to Team USA for NACAC U-23 Championships
Tucker, the 2006 Mid-East Regional Men´s Assistant Coach of the Year, rejoined the Gator family after spending the past eight seasons at the University of Kentucky. While with the Wildcats, Tucker helped lead the track and field program to some of the most successful seasons in program history. During his tenure at UK, Tucker coached 27 All-Americans, 26 All-SEC honorees, 15 All-Region athletes, six SEC champions, three NCAA runner-ups and an NCAA Champion (Rondel Sorrillo, 200m, 2010). Under Tucker´s tutelage, 34 school records fell and 67 athletes ranked in the top-10 in school history.
Four of Tucker's athletes participated in the Summer Olympics during Tucker's time at Kentucky. Luis Luna was Tucker´s first athlete to see Olympic action as she competed in the 400m for Venezuela in the 2004 Athens Games. In 2008, three of Tucker´s athletes competed in the Beijing Olympics as Sorrillo (200m) and Mikel Thomas (110m high hurdles) competed for Trinidad and Tobago, while Jose Acevedo competed for Venezuela in the 200m.
During the 2008 Beijing Games, Tucker also made his coaching debut on the Olympic stage as he was hand chosen by the Venezuelan National Team to work with its sprinters as an assistant coach.
Prior to his time in Lexington, Tucker, a UF team captain from 1997-99, spent three seasons as an assistant at the University of Illinois. While with the Illini, Tucker helped coach six All-Big Ten selections, a record breaking Big Ten Champion and an All-American. Additionally, during his stay in Champaign, Tucker´s athletes broke multiple school records and posted 10 top-10 marks in program history.
Before entering coaching as a volunteer assistant with the Gators in the 1999-2000 season, Tucker enjoyed a prolific collegiate career at UF. A four-time SEC champion and a six-time All-American, Tucker won the 400-meter hurdles at the 1998 SEC Championships with a personal best time of 49.82, which still ranks as the sixth-fastest time in Florida history. Tucker also ran on three conference championship teams and four All-America mile relay teams for UF. Tucker was also a two-time All-SEC academic honoree at Florida, where he earned a B.A. in History and a Masters degree in Education.
Tucker, a USATF Certified Level I Track and Field Coach, lives in Gainesville with his wife, April, and is the father of Ezra Tucker (3) and Erin Hakim Tucker II (nicknamed Jr.), born in November 2012.

Cardiologist Receives Early Career Award from Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Aarif Khakoo, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Cardiology at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, has been awarded a Physician-Scientist Early Career Award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The Early Career Award program provides $375,000 over five years to promising physician-scientists who are launching their careers at academic medical centers. Khakoo's award is part of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's investment of $7.5 million this year to ensure that young investigators have adequate resources to fund their research.
Khakoo will apply his award to studying the damaging effects of novel chemotherapy agents on cancer patients' hearts. As a cardiologist at M. D. Anderson, Khakoo has observed that some patients who are treated with a class of promising cancer drugs called receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors often develop debilitating heart disease. His research will explore at the basic level what mechanisms might trigger the cardiomyopathy.
Only alumni of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Training Fellowship or Howard Hughes Medical Institute – National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program may apply for the prestigious program. Khakoo was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute fellow while a medical student at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
"I am very pleased and proud that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute is continuing to support my research and career development," said Khakoo. "The infusion of this seed money is vital to young investigators who have innovative ideas."
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is a not-for-profit research organization that ranks as one of the nation's largest philanthropies. In the past two decades, the institute has invested more than $8.3 billion for the support, training and education of the nation's most promising scientists.

Lil Wayne's skate park opening delayed
NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans skate park opened by Lil Wayne and corporate sponsors less than three weeks ago appears to be shuttered.
Ward McLendon, who manages the Lower 9th Ward facility where the Trukstop skate park is located, said Wednesday there was a "misunderstanding" over when the park would officially open.
Organizers at the Sept. 26 ribbon-cutting said the park would open to the public Oct. 1, but McLendon says the insurance and staff needed to run the facility could not be lined up in time.
McLendon says the park's new opening has been set for Oct. 27.
The Grammy-winning rapper partnered with Mountain Dew and Glu Agency, a New York-based advertising firm, to launch the park, which was built with recycled materials provided by Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation.

Effect of autoimmune diseases on incidence and survival in subsequent multiple myeloma

Journal of Hematology & Oncology 2012, 5:59 doi:10.1186/1756-8722-5-59Published: 2 October 2012
Patients with many types of autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are at an increased risk of cancer, which may depend on underlying dysregulation of the immune system or treatment. We systematically analyzed myeloma risk and survival in patients diagnosed with 33 different AIDs.
Data on patients with AIDs were retrieved from the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register and were linked to myeloma diagnoses from the Cancer Registry. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated for subsequent myeloma between 1964 and 2008.
Among patients with the 33 AIDs analyzed, 457 cases of myeloma were diagnosed. The overall SIR for myeloma was 1.12 and the overall HR was 0.92 and non-significant. SIRs for myeloma were significantly increased after ankylosing spondylitis (2.02) and systemic sclerosis (2.63). Only the HR for myeloma after rheumatic fever (5.27) was significantly increased. The SIR for myeloma before age 60 years was 1.45; the SIR for myeloma was only increased in the period 1964–1990 (1.31) and not later (1.04). Only the SIR for myeloma after ankylosing spondylitis was increased in the period 1991–2008 (2.09); the HRs for myeloma were increased after polymyositis/dermatomyositis (6.44) and rheumatic fever (4.43) but there were only three deaths of myeloma after these AIDs.
The present data showed an increase in myeloma SIR after two AIDs, ankylosing spondylitis and systemic sclerosis, and in HR after rheumatic fever. The overall myeloma risk after any AID was no longer increased in the latter follow-up period of 1991 through 2008.

Chad Morgan: I'm Not Dead Yet
- Year:2011
- Rating:M
- Director:Janine Hosking
- Cast:Chad Morgan, Tex Perkins
- Release Date:December 01, 2011
- Distributor:Umbrella
- Running time:95 minutes
- Film Worth:$17.00
- FILMINK rates movies out of $20 - the score indicates the amount we believe a ticket to the movie to be worth
Entertaining, funny, occasionally poignant and always revealing, this is a warm and worthy celebration of a man often not given his due in country music.
If Slim Dusty is Australian country music's undisputed king, then Chad Morgan is probably seen as its court jester. With his trademark Australian Army giggle hat, ungainly row of bizarrely outward-jutting teeth, and collection of bawdy, ribald songs, this veteran performer certainly appears to fit the bill. Scratch the surface, however, and Chad Morgan is far more complex; in Janine Hosking's wonderfully entertaining, occasionally sad, and always illuminating documentary, Chad Morgan: I'm Not Dead Yet, this cockeyed Aussie icon actually comes across more as an angry prince, always questioning why he never quite gets the respect that he deserves.
Narrated with punchy flair and sly humour by rocker Tex Perkins (who also drops in for a chat and a song with Chad), the film charts Morgan's rise from rural obscurity to nation-wide fame in the sixties on the back of hit songs like "The Sheikh Of Scrubby Creek", and also does a fair bit of soul searching, digging into the singer's alcoholism, his rarely discussed Aboriginal heritage, and his disgust with what he sees as the big, chugging, soulless machine that is Australian country music.
The film's most poignant moments, however, show the frail Morgan and his equally fragile but tough-as-nails wife, Joanie, trekking around the country to play shopping malls, community centres and rowdy RSLs. "The drunk women are the hardest to deal with," Morgan says. "At least with the blokes, you can just tell 'em to piss off." The elderly Chad and Joanie look too vulnerable to be putting themselves through such physical hardship, but Morgan lives to play and perform, and his perseverance and commitment are quietly inspiring. Though seen by some as a country music footnote, I'm Not Dead Yet beautifully celebrates a man blessed with the rare gift to seamlessly mix music and humour - something a lot harder than it looks.

Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change: Kyoto, Japan
December 2, 1997: December 1st marked the beginning of the Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (or UNFCCC-COP3, for short) in Kyoto, Japan. It is the third in a series of conferences since a global climate-change treaty was adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio. The aim of the ten-day Kyoto conference is a treaty reducing industrialized countries' greenhouse gas emissions by 2010; this notwithstanding that few countries are close to achieving the emission cut-backs to which they committed themselves in 1992.
Some countries attending the conference appear to have no clear carbon dioxide emission reduction "target." Canada's Federal Government delegation has announced a planned 3% reduction on 1990 emissions by the year 2010, but the objective is angrily opposed by delegates from Canada's western oil and gas producing provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The United States, which accounts for 24% of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide, favors stabilizing emissions at 1990 levels by 2012. However, on July 25 of this year, the U.S. Senate voted 95 to 0 in favor of a Sense of the Senate Resolution stating that the United States should not be a signatory to a protocol binding developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions if the less developed countries do not also commit to reduce their emissions in the same compliance period.
Less developed countries are not inclined to agree to the condition imposed by the U.S. Senate. Yet the position of the U.S. Senate is rational, since policies that affect energy prices only in developed countries will cause energy intensive industries to relocate from the developed world to the less developed world. Criticism of the U.S. position comes not only from developing countries but from both the European Union, which proposes a 15% reduction in the 1990 rate of greenhouse gas emissions by 2010, and the Alliance of Small Island States, which proposes a 20% cut from 1990 levels by 2005. On the other side of the negotiating table, Australia proposes for itself an 18% increase above 1990 carbon dioxide emission rates by 2010.
Despite the apparent difficulty of resolving these widely differing positions, a workable solution to the challenge of allocating greenhouse gas emission rights among nations may eventually be reached through the creation of a market for emission quotas. Such a market would allow industry to continue operating where it is presently located, while providing a stream of payments from developed to less developed countries for the use of their unused emission quotas. In the future, the location of industry need not be constrained by national emission quotas and investors in both developed and developing countries would have an incentive to use low emission technologies. In the short term, however, the debate surrounding greenhouse gas emissions among the diverse interests represented by about 5,000 participants from over 170 different governmental and non-governmental groups attending Kyoto is likely to result in at least local climate warming.LINKS TO MORE INFORMATION

A report by a House subcommittee blames MF Global's collapse on Jon S. Corzine, along with credit rating agencies and federal regulators.
- Filed Under
A Republican-led House subcommittee released a scathing report Thursday on the collapse of the MF Global financial firm, pinning most of the blame on the man who was in charge of the firm at the time, former New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine.
The report also blamed credit rating agencies and federal regulators. Subcommittee leaders say they hope the assessment of MF Global's failure results in legislation that helps protect people who trust their money to such firms and addresses duplication among regulators.

Bernanke's comments weigh on stocksComment on this story
New York - US stocks slid as Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's comments added to worries about the economic impact of the US "fiscal cliff" and Hewlett-Packard's stock sank on news of an $8.8-billion accounting charge.
Bernanke, in comments before the Economic Club of New York, said the Fed does not have the tools to offset the damage that would result if politicians fail to strike a deal to prevent going off the fiscal cliff. If a solution isn't approved in time, then mandatory tax increases and spending cuts will go into effect early next year. Bernanke said he does not believe the possible benefits of cutting the interest it pays on bank reserves are sufficient to outweigh the risk of trouble in money markets.
"In the short run, we're hostage to the fiscal cliff. I think (Bernanke's) got to be really, really fearful that Washington doesn't get its act together and that creates stresses on the financial system," said Dan Veru, chief investment officer of Palisade Capital Management in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Stocks rallied for the last two sessions on optimism that Washington politicians could agree on a deal to avoid the US fiscal cliff. But the gains followed two weeks of sharp losses.
Hewlett-Packard Co shares sank 12 percent to a 10-year low at $11.70 as the computer and printer maker swung to a fourth-quarter loss. The company said it took an $8.8-billion charge related to its acquisition of software firm Autonomy, citing "serious accounting improprieties".
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 63.43 points, or 0.50 percent, at 12,732.53. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 5.78 points, or 0.42 percent, at 1,381.11. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 15.01 points, or 0.51 percent, at 2,901.06.
Another factor weighing on stocks was Moody's Investors Service's reduction of France's sovereign rating by one notch to Aa1 after the market's close on Monday. Moody's cited an uncertain fiscal outlook as a result of the weakening economy. - Reuters

The Marshall Grange, 4940 Marshall Road in Garden Valley, is presenting a special Mother's Day weekend concert with North Carolinian songwriter, singer and storyteller Michael Reno Harrell on Saturday, May 11.
Local songbird Patrice Webb will open the show at 7:30 p.m. for a rare performance on the Georgetown Divide before migrating back up to Idaho.
Tickets are $12 in advance, $14 at the door and $10 for card caring grangers and are available at Rose's Garden Café in Garden Valley, Main Street Music in Placerville, online at brownpapertickets or by phoning 530-642-8671.
Harrell is a well-known performer on the east coast, who is coming to the Marshall Grange as part of a rare west coast tour.
He has won many awards including the featured teller at the National Storytelling Festival and has appeared at major music and storytelling festivals around the world.
He brings a magic to each performance in both spoken word and song. His style makes the audience feel like they are sitting together in the backyard or on the porch — the perfect setting for his stories and songs done with a wit and charm rooted deep in the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
His subjects are mostly everyday things: the high school boys who got bored being shepherds in the Nativity play ("Sledding Shepherds"); the story of a waitress in a late night roadside café ("Mama's Still in There"); the perils of putting in a new woodstove ("Talking Woodstove Blues"); or a guy pan-handling at McDonald's ("Say, Did I Mention").
To learn more and hear his stories and songs visit michaelreno.com.
Patrice Webb is a long time resident of the Divide and former broadcaster on KFOK. She began her musical career in earnest a few years back and since then has become noted in the Americana music scene winning third place in the 2012 Indie International Songwriting contest. She currently divides her time between Georgetown and northern Idaho, performing her songs in both places.
Fans can hear her songs at patricewebb.com.
This evening concert is a perfect way to celebrate Mother's Day in the intimate setting of the grange enjoying the music of two fine musicians.

Defining My Goals Visuallyposted in Personal + Travel
If you can dream and see it and work hard, you can make it happen.
Lately everything I'm visualized and believed has come true, sometimes much faster than expected, which reinforces for me: the power of visualization + hard work.
This year, inspired by this 2011 post by Lara Casey, I created this vision board (one of 3) as inspiration for how I want to evolve and where I want to be. Unlike my online Pinterest boards, I believe that having a physical, tangible board makes my dreams more tangible.
Right now this board with sparkly, dreamy magazine visuals and a few kick butt quotes, represents what's been on my mind lately: photography style and evolution, brides and weddings, the definiton of beauty, a website redesign, daily inspiration to push forward, culture and style.
In the coming months, I hope to refer back to this post and board to see how and where it guided me.
Joyce Schwarz
Great board — but it would be magnified in power by 500 percent if you'd put a picture of YOU in the center of the board– that way you immerse yourself into your vision and "own" your goals! PS if you and your readers would like to see a free chapter of the bestselling book THE VISION BOARD (sold 100,000 copies) please go to: http://amzn.to/IGphV4 ENJOY sharing the vision!

Buried deep within the content on the site were spells she could perform. Most revolved around money and love but one was to "eliminate the enemies in your life".As enticing as this sounded since I do keep a list, I got a little freaked out and clicked off the site.I have watched enough paranormal shows on the Discovery and SyFy channels to know if you mess with the wrong forces and open the wrong doors, bad things can waltz into your house.So, in the spirit of self-preservation, I quickly un-followed the priestess, and then proceeded to Lysol the room. I figured if Lysol can get rid of Swine Flu germs, it should be able to wipe out bad karma. However, the next day, my technology troubles began.
It started with Twitter.I somehow got a bug. I noticed weird, somewhat graphic direct messages coming to me, but I just deleted them. I thought they were another gimmick for people to make money at home or an affiliate program that sold sex toys.Little did I know that my own direct messages were sending the same crap out.So, I asked the people of Twitter if they knew what was happening. Two people were very nice and told me they were also sending and receiving the same messages, and I was not alone. Seven people yelled at me in capital letters: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD BEFORE YOU AFFECT OTHER ACCOUNTS! I promptly did that, and it seems to have solved the problem. The people who yelled at me also de-followed me but good riddance. If you can't forgive someone for a Twitter boo-boo, then you are not my kind of people.
The next day, my cell phone started acting up.I had downloaded "At Last" by Etta James as my ringtone.This classic is one of my favorites.This phone is only a month old. My old one, which played Frank Sinatra "Come Fly with Me", got tossed into the washing machine accidentally and well, I couldn't go fly with Frank anymore.
I quickly adjusted to this new song and this new phone. Then two days ago, no more Etta.When someone called, my phone emitted that boring, generic AT&T tone.I checked my settings and they were fine. I went into my saved downloads and the display read "empty". Somehow, my Etta James was erased.I called customer service and a very nice woman tried to get my Etta back.We tried re-ordering the song through the phone and then my computer - but nothing. The song would not go through. Then, she informed me we would have to go to level 2 technical support.Okay. Henry came on the phone and tried for 45 minutes to get Etta back.Nothing worked there. So, he made out a trouble ticket and sent me to the next level of tech support.Travis became my next phone buddy.He used every technical solution he could think of but still no Etta. He tried to purchase other songs, but still no music. After spending two-and-a-half hours on this technical glitch, I offered to give up.
I was fine with that and quite frankly, I was beginning to think maybe I wanted to go back to Frank Sinatra anyway, but I didn't have the heart to say that out loud to any tech person.So, the next day, Brian from AT&T called me and he tried to trouble shoot for ringtone problems.Now, Brian got further than anyone else. He was actually able to download a song to my phone.Okay, so it wasn't Etta or Frank. Instead, he picked his personal favorite: Need you Now by Lady Antebellum. Not a bad tune except that the only words that one can hear in the ringtone are "It's a quarter to one, I'm drunk and I need you now."
I think ringtones say a lot about the person who owns a phone. So, I have gone from a person who loves classic jazz and big band era songs to a person who is a horny alcoholic with insomnia because that is what the words in the song say! Brian said, the song sounded like me. Excuse me Brian, what the hell does that mean?
I have now accepted this new song as my ringtone because I am having trouble getting the generic tone back. T&T thinks I may need to go get a new phone.I think that is a good idea but I cannot get to a store until next week, so for a few more days, I will be the horny alcoholic.
Well, I have learned many things this week about technology. I have learned that while new technology and its applications are fun and exciting, trouble never looms too far away, and more importantly, I learned that technology is still no match for an old voodoo priestess living down in the bayou.

When Hattiesburg City Council members decided to implement a curbside recycling program, they were banking on high citizen participation to help offset the cost to the city.
"We need to get north of 100 percent for this to break even," Council President Kim Bradley said about participation projections in February, one month after the recycling program kicked off.
"If we keep working and working, hopefully we will."
But now, almost one year after it started, the recycling program is seeing participation from only about 30 percent of the city's residents.
About 57 tons of recyclables are collected monthly from Hattiesburg households, leading to an average rebate of $1,400 per month to the city.
The monthly cost for the city to run the program - at no cost to residents - is $21,000.
The participation numbers are disappointing to say the least.
There are numerous benefits to recycling: energy savings, conservation of natural resources, reduction of waste sent to landfills, the list could go on.
The city's program makes recycling pretty simple. Each household gets a bin.
Curbside pickup takes place once a week for each ward. Recyclables don't have to be sorted, just placed in the bin. (Glass is the only material not available for curbside pickup.)
And, let's mention this again, there is no cost to residents.
With the program entering its second year, the city needs to get more people to participate. Council members are in agreement that efforts must be made to increase the public's awareness of the program.
"I think it's a matter of education - educating the citizenry about the importance of recycling. We have a responsibility to the planet that we conserve anywhere we possibly can," City Councilwoman Deborah Denard Delgado said. "It can save the city a lot of dollars that we'd otherwise spend for garbage. I think the recycling program is one we need to continue, but we need to continue it responsibly. We need to step up the education that it's going to take so we can have a good recycling program."
Last year, we applauded City Council's decision to offer this program free of charge to taxpayers.
Now, it's time for Hattiesburg residents to step up and do their part.

Nice pics. I really like the first 3. Looks like a beautiful area with lots of wildlife hidden away.
Ok, I think I have been lurking around here long enough, let's see if I can contribute something productive here.
Background first...I am an American living in southern Mexico, the state of Guerrero, Zihuatenejo specifically (you know, Shawshank Redemption?).
I am a naturalist specializing in reptiles, but I enjoy photography and all animals, arachnids, insects etc. I usually post on a couple of reptile boards and browse here, however I have accumulated allot of arachnid stuff in the last few months and thought I would share with (what I hope) is an appreciative audience. What I can ID I will, the rest are just pretty pictures...
So, a couple of habitat shots first to set the mood. Technically this is Semi-Deciduous Tropical Thorn Scrub, we'll just call it jungle...
Let's start with some smaller stuff, jumping spiders...
I really like jumping spiders allot. They are easily overlooked and yet are probably among the most fascinating of the spiders. Their eyesight, hunting technique and mating rituals are amazing.
Some regular type spiders...
This is an awesome looking spider...
Some Orb weavers and web spiders...
This is the biggest orb I have ever seen. outstretched it was as big as my hand. There was a tiny male hovering around her. He was about the size of a small pea...
The male
A funnel web, this one is really big as well, easily 2 1/2 inches or more.
And last, but certainly not least, a few tarantulas. Start with some juveniles, I don't have a definite Id on the first ones as well as the adult to follow...
I think this is just a larger juvi of the one above...
Both of which I believe grow into this...
Here is a burrow of one of these bad boys (girls), I coaxed her out but she shot back in before I could snap a shot.
And what Mexico post would be complete without one of these...
So here's hoping you enjoyed this. I also have literally hundreds of insect and butterfly shots as well, Maybe later if anyone is interested I will throw some of them up as well. If anyone cares to ID some of this for me I am always grateful. Thanks for looking

Awesome pictures
These are awesome, wow, Im sure I see a Heterapoda, Dolomedes, maybe dipluridae, pisuridae,the Ts are different spp.

Send PM or EMAIL firstname.lastname@example.com
after the jumpers, my guesses:
araneid, maybe Eriophora or similar, male
araneid, maybe Eriophora or similar, male
same araneid
male Nephila
kleptoparasite, probably theridiid, maybe Argyrodes
maybe agelenid? eyes don't look quite right
not a tarantula - some other mygalomorph
don't know about the 3 tarantulas
Phidippus georgii maybe. If so, great find.
A jumping spider
Selenops with egg sac.
Appears to be a subadult male. Those palpal organs are crazy!
A Neoscona
Pulk, I think this just a thin female.
Great find and my favorite images - a wolf spider, Sosippus, probably S. michoacanus.
whoops, should have looked closer at what I assumed was Argiope.
is the lack of leg spination what makes you say the small Nephila is a female? (do males also not have the "fur"?)
and crap, I was thinking of saying Sosippus but decided against it
Thanks to everyone!

Awesome photos!Thanks for sharing :]
I will agree I think jumpers are without a doubt some of the coolest of all the spiders!That white one is very impressive looking to!
Wow, nice pics. I like the 1st and 2rd photos.
I say female because of the fur and more importantly the pedipalps, as well as the shape of the legs, chelicerae and carapace. It is just skinny.
Hunter, another nice image of the white jumper. I wish I could say with certainty it is P. georgii, but it could also be a relative such as Eris or Paraphidippus. Also appears to be an adult male.
This is a definite male clavata... what's the difference between the pedipalp/chelicera area on this one and hunter's?
Also, the carapace isn't visible so I'm not sure what you mean about that part.
(I do think it's a female due to the leg differences, just wondering about the other features)
Carapace was the wrong word. Cephalothorax is better.
As with clavipes, the leg tufts are absent in adult males. Tufts are present in Hunter's image.
I can clearly see the bulbs on your male and the typical female palps in Hunter's image.
Adult male chelicerae are weakly developed and quite narrow when compared to a female, and the females cephalothorax has a different shape due to their massive chelicerae. The male carapace is more rounded or narrow anteriorly.
Great pics and finds! Very nice jumping spiders, and the smithi of course

We do know this: the president of the school has a huge impact on the athletics department. To find out, look no further than Couture herself. She's been subject to the brunt of criticism in conference realignment, and rightfully so. She's the leader of the school, the face of the institution and must network as such. Simply read this quote from Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson, who held the same position with the Western Athletic Conference for nearly two decades before leaving in February. Just for clarification, Couture is also chair of the WAC:
"It was interesting timing," Benson recalled in terms of when NMSU became a WAC member in 2005. "New Mexico State had a new athletics director in McKinley Boston and a new president in Mike Martin. Those two took advantage of their membership in the WAC to build New Mexico State's program ... Corporate support, donor support ... New Mexico State left the Sun Belt for the WAC and obviously (at the time) the WAC was a more valuable entity than the Sun Belt ... Now I'm in the Sun Belt and New Mexico State is hanging onto what's left of the WAC."
Translation: With Martin and Boston as a team, NMSU was an appealing entity for an athletics conference looking to add pieces.
But does Couture's current absence have something to do with the Aggies clouded athletics future? It would be naive to say it doesn't. Of course an athletics department is a microcosm of a university, not the other way around. With that being said, it remains the front-porch of the school in many ways, and when there's holes in the porch, the roof is caving in and the floor boards are rotting, it doesn't reflect well on the institution.
If Couture leaves does it guarantee athletics safety? Far from it. Lets not forget there's a board of regents that ultimately makes the call on what direction they want the school to go in, and who they bring in to fulfill that vision.
A new president would take over and immediately look at the situation: Does New Mexico State have the resources available to play Division I football? Would the school be better off as an FCS-playing member? And who do they want as athletics director to lead that charge? The answers to such questions will ultimately determine what direction the Aggie athletics department goes, not just a changing of the guard all together.
It's a scary time. A down time. Another thing a change could provide: hope, something that hasn't been available in some time. Even if such an emotion proves fleeting, and is unpredictable.

'American Idol': Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Seacrest are totally BFFs
Reports of feuding divas on the "American Idol" set have been greatly exaggerated, at least according to the two alleged divas in question.New judge Jennifer Lopez called into "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest's radio show Friday morning (Oct. 8) to swat away rumors that they've been fighting over dressing-room space and trying to assert their position as "top diva" on the FOX show."Is there a prize for top diva?" Lopez joked. "Is there extra salary?""Why can't we just be equal divas?" Seacrest replied.The rumors about Lopez's diva behavior started before she even signed on to the show, and they've continued since she and Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler were officially named as "Idol" judges a few weeks ago. Among the other things she's allegedly guilty of? Forgetting fellow judge Randy Jackson's name."They did not write that," Lopez says, stifling a laugh. "How do you goof up Randy's name? They just want to make me look like a buffoon."Seacrest and Lopez also discussed the Milwaukee auditions for "Idol," which apparently resulted in more tickets to Hollywood than just about any other stop in the show's history, and Lopez talked about figuring out the best way to reject auditioners who just don't quite have it."It's like, Do I give this kid a chance or do I crush his dreams?" she says. "... It's about finding the right way to say it, and sometimes you have to be tough, because they don't want to believe it." Follow Zap2it and Zap2itRick on Twitter and Zap2it
