Dogs and handlers patrol network and sniff out explosives
There are plenty of highly trained eyes watching San Diego's trolley and bus lines.
There are also a few professional noses working to keep the transit system safe.
They belong to Rony, Molli and Grizwald, the three explosives-detection dogs working for the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System through a federal program.
The MTS K-9 teams consist of the dogs and their code-compliance handlers. Since 2006, they have patrolled the network's trains, buses and transit stations, searching for bombs and checking on suspicious items.
They also help local law enforcement by responding to bomb threats around the region, including one this year at a San Diego State University library. The dogs are not taught to look for drugs, and they're not supposed to bite.
Trained and owned by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, the dogs are part of a growing number of K-9 teams protecting the nation's transportation networks after the transit bombings in Madrid and London in 2004 and 2005, respectively.
When it started in 1973, the federal government's Explosives Detection Canine Team Program had 40 teams at 20 airports. Today, more than 770 K-9 teams have been trained, with many of them working at 120 airports and mass-transit systems across the United States, according to a TSA spokesman.
The TSA expanded its K-9 program to the country's largest mass-transit networks nearly a decade ago, including San Diego's.
On the trolley
With his broad, black nose to the ground, Rony, a 9-year-old German shepherd, led handler Armando Izzarelli up the aisle Monday on a Blue Line Trolley, sweeping the train car with efficiency but hardly rushing.
Only the most docile, nonaggressive canines are picked for such work, officials said.
Transit passengers are often surprised to see the K-9 canines, which run their noses up the seams of luggage and sniff people's shoes, jackets and lunch bags.
They "love to smell babies," too, said MTS Sgt. Len Parham, who supervises the agency's K-9 teams.
Molli, a 3-year-old yellow Lab, joined MTS this year. Rony and 8-year-old Grizwald, a Dutch shepherd, are the veteran members.
When one of these dogs finds a potential explosive, it sniffs more rapidly, wags its tail and then sits down in front of the item, Izzarelli said.
But that's a rare event. The agency's K-9 teams contact the region's bomb squad only about once a year to examine a suspicious item, Izzarelli said. They've never found an actual bomb on transit property, he added.
Nimble response
Even perceived threats along a transit line can halt trains and close stations, sometimes for an hour or more. With the dogs, MTS can more quickly determine whether a suspicious item is a real threat and restart the transit system within minutes, said Paul Jablonski, the agency's chief executive officer.
The canines can provide the same nimble response during bomb threats and precautionary security sweeps across San Diego County, he said.
A big test for the MTS K-9 teams came in June, when they swept numerous spots in downtown San Diego — including Petco Park, a nearby parking structure, vehicles and a transit center — before the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon. The race took place one month after the deadly Boston Marathon bombings, and it was completed safely.
Jablonski said MTS plans to keep the K-9 program running for the foreseeable future, calling it a key tool in the agency's safety "tool belt."
TSA pays the transit agency about $120,000 annually to cover handlers' salaries and all other costs associated with the dogs.
Izzarelli, who has worked with Rony for seven years and is his caretaker, said he plans to adopt the German shepherd when it can no longer patrol. He estimates that his canine companion has a couple more years before retirement.
He said Rony's even-keeled temperament makes passengers feel safe, one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
"I love it. It's like working with your best friend — your best friend that never complains," Izzarelli said. "I lucked out. I've got a great dog."

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Some local students are more prepared to head back to school thanks to a classy donation.
Prudential First Realtors employees carried boxes of school supplies into the Topeka Rescue Mission's Distribution Center on Tuesday. Children who are homeless and living at the Mission got to pick up paper, pens, crayons, markers and cleaning supplies so they're prepared for their first day of school.
Prudential team members, led by Rick Nesbitt, say this is their opportunity to give back to the community and help give children a good education.

Madison, Wis. (Dec. 21, 2012) – American Family Insurance isn't taking a snow day after winter storm Draco. Instead, they are fielding calls and working with customers to schedule needed emergency repairs that resulted from the storm that hit Wisconsin Wednesday evening.
American Family has received about 125 claims, mostly from broken tree limbs that crashed onto roofs, outbuildings, awnings or decks. The company has also received auto claims from tree limbs falling onto cars parked in driveways.
American Family customers who have claims should immediately contact the company's 24-hour Customer Care Center - 1-800-MY-AMFAM (692-6326) - to schedule an inspection or their damaged property.
And while customers are digging out their sidewalks and driveways, American Family is advising them to also look up at what else might need to be cleared - rooftops.
Ice dams can occur after periods of heavy snowfall, followed by temperatures that hover near freezing. They form when melting snow runs down the slope of the roof and refreezes near the edge. As more snow melts and runs down the roof, water builds up behind the ice dam and seeps into the home, damaging drywall, carpeting and cabinets; and sometimes even collapsing ceilings.
Fortunately, there are some easy and effective measures homeowners can take to prevent ice dams from forming:
Based in Madison, Wis., American Family Insurance offers auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, health insurance, business and farm/ranch insurance in 19 states. American Family insurance is the nation's third-largest mutual property/casualty insurance company. Web: www.amfam.com; Facebook: www.facebook.com/amfam; Twitter: www.twitter.com/amfam.

POSTED: 4:58 a.m. HST, Jan 11, 2011
PHILADELPHIA — Former major league manager Dallas Green thanked his extended baseball family for their support on the shooting death of his granddaughter and five others in Tucson, Ariz.
Nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green was killed Saturday outside a supermarket where a neighbor had taken her to meet Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was critically wounded.
Christina's dad, John, is a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He and his wife, Roxanna, have a son named Dallas.
Grandfather Dallas Green managed the Philadelphia Phillies to their first World Series championship in 1980. He also managed the New York Yankees and New York Mets, was general manager of the Chicago Cubs and pitched in the majors. He currently is an executive adviser with the Phillies.
Green and his wife, Sylvia, issued a statement.
"This is such a tough time for Sylvia and I and for John and Roxanna and little Dallas. We thank everybody from the bottom of our hearts for their friendship, thoughts and prayers, especially the Phillies and our extended family in baseball," Green said.
"Somehow we will get through this, but right now our little nine-year-old granddaughter is not here and we're having a hard time with that," he said.

When a society begins to rationalize when it is okay to take a human life, they start on a very slippery slope that is difficult to reverse directions. Soon, all life can be rationalized. When a society begins to attack the family status as unimportant, that society loses the very basis for their foundation. life, family and freedom. Watch out for the third step.

Canad Inns Stadium

Dave Dickenson, QB, B.C.
Dave Dickenson led the B.C. Lions to a 25-14 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at the 94th Grey Cup in front of 44,786 fans at Canad Inns Stadium in Winnipeg.
The Lions won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. B.C. went on defence for the first series and Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo threw two incomplete passes to start the game.
Dickenson responded with four consecutive passes before rushing for 12-yards to set up a first down on the Montreal 32. Two plays later, B.C. settled for a Paul McCallum 34-yard field goal to go ahead 3-0. The Als were forced to punt again on their second possession, putting the Lions on their own 18-yard line. Joe Smith reeled off a 17-yard run on the first play, and after another first down, Dickenson hit Ryan Thelwell with a 14-yard pass past midfield. Paris Jackson made a 14-yard catch but Buck Pierce, filling in for Dickenson, was sacked for a nine-yard loss by Adriano Belli. Dickenson came back into the game and hit Thelwell with a 16-yard pass, setting up a McCallum 35-yard field goal.
Aaron Hunt forced Calvillo to fumble on the next play, with Javy Glatt recovering the ball on the Montreal 23. This set up another McCallum field goal from 24 yards out. B.C. was in possession of the ball for 10:26 of the opening quarter. The Als finally forced B.C. to punt early in the second quarter, but were pinned on their own two-yard line on a coffin corner punt. Montreal got one first down before being forced to punt again. Starting from their own 43-yard line, Jackson made a highlight reel 18-yard catch. Ian Smart took it 25 yards the rest of the way for the game's opening touchdown.
After another two-and-out for the Als, the Montreal defence was able to stop the Lions on their own 28-yard line. Montreal got the ball back on its own 46 and got a couple of first downs to set up Damon Duval field goal attempt from the 47 that was kicked wide left and returned out of the end zone to negate a single point. The Als defence held again, giving Montreal possession on its own 48-yard line with 2:26 remaining in the half. Calvillo hit Ben Cahoon for a 25-yard again. Duval was good on a 43-yard field goal, putting the Alouettes o the scoreboard. McCallum booted a 30-yard field goal as the second half expired to put the Lions ahead 19-3.
Early in the third quarter, Dickenson appeared to fumble the ball on a sack by R-Kal Truluck which was recovered by Chip Cox who had nothing but daylight for a touchdown. But Jake Ireland ruled Dickenson was down before losing the ball, which was overturned by instant replay; the first in Grey Cup history. By rule, the Als got the ball on the B.C. 42, and were forced to punt. Duval got off an excellent kick, pinning the Lions on their own one-yard line. McCallum ultimately conceded two points. The Alouettes went to work from their own 35-yard line. Calvillo hit Mike Vilimek on a 16-yard pass, then Cahoon with a 13-yard strike before calling his own number on a six-yard run. Robert Edwards ran for seven yards, followed by Thyron Anderson's 13-yard reception. Cahoon's 11-yard grab and Edwards' five-yard run before a B.C. offside penalty set up Edwards' two-yard touchdown run. With the convert Montreal trailed 19-12.
Timothy Strickland almost came up with a diving interception on B.C.'s next series. McCallum booted a 21-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to put the Lions in front by 10. He added a 47-yard field goal to tie a Grey Cup record with his sixth of the game.
The Alouettes were in great position to score a touchdown with 4:06 remaining in regulation, but Edwards fumbled on the one-yard line forced by Glatt and recovered by B.C.'s Otis Floyd. McCallum gave up another safety with 1:43 remaining to make the final score 25-14.

Vomiting at 20 weeks

I still have bad morning sickness... with dd I had morning sickness about 'till the 6 month mark
mommy to Melanie 8.19.08 and Michael 7.13.10, wife to William��
It may be a bug but it also could be that something just didn't agree with you because you are pregnant. I doubt it is "morning sickness" but also might not be an actual bug.

I can totally relate to that one! Im 19 weeks and I still occasionally get sick after I eat something. It's better than the first trimester for me, however still aggrevating. I went 4 weeks w/o getting sick then a week ago my husband took me out to Red Lobster because I have been dreaming about crab legs. I was fine when I got there, ate a salad and a roll and a lb of crab legs. However, I got sick before we even left. I'm like that with blueberries too, which is wierd b/c I love them.
I highly doubt that your morning sickness would go away and then come back, but I wouldn't rule it out 100% because I guess anything goes when your preggo. I am 17 weeks now and still puking pretty steadily every day. It has never gone away for weeks and then come back, for me at least. I hope you feel better! Like a prev. poster said, you probably ate something that your tummy didn't like.

I am also 20 weeks went to doctor yesterday for U/S and they told me I have gallstones. You should have them check for them.
I am 20 weeks on Monday and I still ocassionally get sick. Just the other day while I was brushing my teeth I got sick. I think that my gag reflex is much stronger when I am pregnant. It is with this baby and it was with my 1st baby too.

I don't like to brush my teeth during pregnancy, because it makes me kind of sick too. It did a little bit with my son, and it seems a little worse with this baby.

There is a secret Santa somewhere in Fruita who is going to give the gift of wheels to 15 local kids...and a local bike shop is helping out.
The anonymous donor called Over The Edge Sports about purchasing bicycles. Manager Jerry Wolf was able to make a deal with Raleigh Bicycles to provide 15 two–wheelers at cost. Retail price on the bicycles is between 85 and 350 dollars. Mechanics at the shop are also helping out by giving their time to assemble the bikes, and a representative from Raleigh Bicycles will also be coming over to help as well. The bikes will be given to the Salvation Army and Toys for Tots.
If you are interested in helping to buy more bikes call Over the Edge Sports in Fruita. But hurry...this Friday is the last day bikes can be ordered in time for Christmas.

|The effects of education on anxiety among Chinese patients with heart disease undergoing cardiac catheterization in Hong Kong.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14649535 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of patient education on anxiety among Chinese patients with heart disease undergoing cardiac catheterization in Hong Kong.
DESIGN: Randomized experimental design, data collected on three occasions from subjects.
SETTING: A regional major hospital in Hong Kong.
SUBJECTS: 62 clients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into experimental and control groups with 31 subjects in each group.
INTERVENTION: Group education before cardiac catheterization.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: State Anxiety Inventory (STAI Form Y-1) and Knowledge about Cardiac Catheterization.
RESULTS: State anxiety of all subjects reached the highest at the time just before cardiac catheterization and recorded the lowest at the time following the procedure. A lower level of anxiety was experienced by the experimental subjects who received the education intervention when compared with the control subjects who did not receive the education intervention before cardiac catheterization.
CONCLUSION: The study provides initial information about anxiety reduction with education intervention among Chinese heart disease patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. It is envisaged that the study may also assist health professionals in developing and designing effective educational programmes for clients prior to cardiac catheterization.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced today, the deadline to apply for disaster assistance in both Cleveland and Creek counties is being extended to Wednesday, Nov. 21.
"We want to make sure that all eligible residents have enough time to apply for assistance," said State Coordinating Officer and OEM Deputy Director Michelann Ooten. "The two counties were not declared at the same time. That is why we are extending the deadline."
"We hope this additional time will ensure that every one in Cleveland and Creek counties affected by the wildfires has an opportunity to register for state and federal assistance," said Federal Coordinating Officer William J. Doran III of FEMA. "We want to be sure to reach all wildfire survivors who still need help."
Nov. 21 will be the last day for residents to apply for state and federal disaster assistance to help them recover from the Aug. 3-14 wildfires This deadline also applies to homeowners, renters and businesses submitting applications for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Residents with computers or smartphones may apply or track their status online at; www.disasterassistance.gov, or web-enabled phones at m.fema.gov or the FEMA app, or if they prefer, call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462-7585.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say they have taken out an elaborate indoor-growing marijuana operation with the arrest of a Washington County couple and the seizure of $500,000 worth of pot.
On Tuesday police arrested Jonathan and Toni Aloisio at their home in Limestone and charged them with multiple felony drug offenses, weapons violations and aggravated child abuse and child neglect.
The couple's three children were removed from the home and taken into the custody of the state Department of Children's Services.
Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal said in a news release that investigators were overwhelmed by the smell of marijuana when they went to the house to follow up on an investigation.
Graybeal said officers seized 285 marijuana plants, 6 pounds of processed marijuana, powdered cocaine, psychedelic mushrooms and 13 guns.

New Test To Better Understand Cause Of Childhood Deafness Within A Year
The new test will help parents of a deaf child understand the chances of future siblings also being born deaf. Similar tests are also being developed at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London and should be available to families by late 2013.
The findings, published today in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, show that by screening just 34 known deafness genes, an accurate diagnosis could be given in roughly half the cases. Ultimately, all known deafness genes could be screened for the same cost as it takes to test one or two genes today.
Professor Guy Van Camp, who led the project, said: "Using today's technology only a few of the many deafness genes can be routinely tested, which means that an accurate diagnosis can typically only be given in 10-20% of cases. Our new test uses advanced DNA sequencing technology that can in principle screen all known deafness genes at the same time. It's a major development from being able to test one or two genes today to being able to screen all known deafness genes in the future."
Dr Ralph Holme, Action on Hearing Loss's Head of Biomedical Research, said: "The majority of childhood deafness is inherited and knowing the gene responsible can be incredibly important for parents who want to know the likelihood of subsequent children inheriting deafness. Knowing the cause of a child's deafness can also make it easier to predict how their hearing loss may change over time and help choose the most appropriate treatment or method of communication. This new test will also be very useful in providing a more accurate picture of the prevalence of different types of deafness affecting people across the UK."

ARM TrustZone Technology for Cortex-A and Cortex-M Class Processors
ARM TrustZone technology is used on billions of chips to protect valuable services and devices. It is the pre-eminent security solution for applications processors and used in a diverse range of end markets including smartphones, tablets, personal computers, wearables and enterprise systems. With the announcement of TrustZone for ARMv8-M, ARM has extended this technology to microcontrollers helping protect the smallest, resource constrained platforms.
TrustZone technology on Cortex-A based applications processors is commonly used to run trusted boot and a trusted OS to create a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Typical use cases in mobile platforms include the protection of authentication mechanisms, cryptography, key material and DRM. Applications that run in the secure world are called Trusted Apps.
ARMv8-M architecture extends TrustZone technology to microcontrollers, enabling robust levels of protection at all cost points. The design is optimized for an efficient, low latency, deterministic interrupt response that is crucial for embedded systems. Interrupts are routed by hardware to the correct handler for both normal and secure worlds thus removing the overhead of a software check before dispatch. To further satisfy real time and low power requirements, the switch between the normal and secure worlds is performed in hardware, removing the need for a hypervisor with its associated code and processing overhead. Software productivity is enhanced as TrustZone for ARMv8-M is fully programmable in C language (in line with the rest of the ARMv8-M architecture) and offers protected debug operations corresponding to the security state of the processor.
Secure memory and secure peripherals can be integrated as the architecture uses ARM AMBA® 5 AHB5 to propagate the secure state signal across the chip.
ARM TrustZone CryptoCell
CryptoCell is a range of security sub-systems and hardware components that provide platform level security as well as hardware support for security acceleration and offloading.
CryptoCell's architecture level protection provides tools and building blocks for a wide range of applications including: content protection, IoT security, encryption and provisioning.
CryptoCell digital security subsystem serves as an infrastructure for security related use cases running on the SoC and is comprised of hardware, firmware and SoC-external tools.
CryptoCell includes efficient hardware cryptographic engines, RNG, root of trust/key management, secure boot, secure debug and lifecycle management.
The CryptoCell-300 series of products are usually coupled with ARM Cortex®-M CPUs and the CryptoCell-700 series integrated with Cortex-A application processors.
CryptoCell enables SoC architects to tradeoff area, power, performance or robustness in a very flexible manner. Designs can be optimized to achieve the security vs. cost "sweet spot" appropriate to the target market.

CryptoCell Product Highlights
- CryptoCell is an embedded security platform suitable for a wide range of SoC markets including automotive, mobile, IoT and deeply embedded. It is compatible with processors that have TrustZone architectural extensions but can also be used where this is absent (such as Cortex-R processors).
- CryptoCell offers an outstanding level of security, while addressing challenging requirements for increased system complexity, high performance, low power consumption and small footprint.
- CryptoCell multi-layered hardware and software architecture combines hardware accelerators, root-of-trust control hardware with a rich layer of security software and off chip tools.
- The CryptoCell architecture is modular and flexible by design, allowing the security solution to be tailored to meet market requirements (all security services offered by TrustZone CryptoCell can be included or excluded from the final package of hardware and software delivered to customers).
- CryptoCell can be configured to address different platform level security requirements as well as specific protocol related requirements (e.g. IPsec, HomeKit).
The CryptoCell-700 series and CryptoCell-300 series address different platform needs: CryptoCell-300 series is usually coupled with Cortex-M CPUs for environments that require a small footprint (e.g. IoT) and CryptoCell-700 series is usually coupled with Cortex-A CPUs for performance intensive use cases (e.g. mobile).
The following diagram (Fig 1.) illustrates the different components in the TrustZone CryptoCell subsystem.
Figure 1. TrustZone CryptoCell High Level Block Diagram
Addressing key security requirements
Digital devices deal with a wide range of possible threats, CryptoCell addresses the different security requirements coming from different stakeholders. Standard bodies and commercial organization, such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, DTLA, DCP LLC, OMTP, CMLA and others, define different attack vectors as pertinent:
- Software attacks
- Inter-chip signal probing
- Board level software-based debug and test attacks
- Physical interface attacks
- Memory or any other non-SoC element replacement attacks
- Off-line modification of the contents of non-volatile storage (e.g., Flash, EPROM)
To enable SOC vendors to address these attack vectors, CryptoCell offers protection of key device assets. Key device assets usually include:
- Software code images (system, application, etc.).
- Secret data, such as device keys and personal/corporate data.
- Protected content, such as DRM audio and video files/stream.
TrustZone CryptoCell facilitates these security requirements and provides the necessary tools and building blocks to mitigate against such attacks.
Security Certification and Compliance
Security certification standards such as FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria and GlobalPlatform TEE certification are all targeted at verifying the security of complete products.
TrustZone CryptoCell provides the tools and building blocks necessary to comply with these standards.
TrustZone CryptoCell provides the security infrastructure to comply with the robustness rules published by many standardization bodies and commercial organizations such as: Microsoft, Apple, Google, CMLA, DTLA, 4C, DCP LLC, Netflix and IETF.
Commercial deployment and market traction
CryptoCell is commercially deployed within chipsets covering many different verticals and markets such as mobile, IoT, home entertainment and automotive.

With three of its five starters back, UTEP's offensive line counts as a veteran unit.
Pass protection, something that was occasionally sketchy last year, starts outside at the tackles. However, in that respect the Miners are starting over after losing Mike Amdall and CFL draftee Brander Craighead.
Plugging in two new bodies on the edges is always a questionable prospect, particularly in a new era when defenses are putting lean, fast, speed rushers at end and moving the big, hulking tanks to defensive tackle.
Faced with this evolution, UTEP found a way to make filling the offensive tackle spot a lot less dicey while at the same time creating the opportunity to get bigger in the interior. The plan is to take the two of the three veterans on the line, two-year starters at guard Jerel Watkins and Kyle Brown, and have them move one spot out.
With that shake of the lineup, the Miners have the most agile, athletic and most experienced linemen blocking the quickest members of the defensive front.
Watkins and Brown "are better athletes," offensive line coach Spencer Leftwich said. "Defensive ends now are more like outside backers and we faced four or five teams in this league with 300-pound-plus guys inside. We can get bigger on the inside."
One likely result of this is that UTEP won't have anybody on the line playing at the same position as last year (returning center Paulo Melendez has moved to guard), but that doesn't change the fact that there are three returning players.
"One thing you can't overstate is experience," Leftwich said. Brown and Watkins "are two guys who have experience and experience is something that is so valuable."
That experience is helping them as they learn a new position. Watkins did play tackle in high school but Brown never has.
"This isn't too big of a change, I'll be going against smaller, more athletic guys," Watkins said. "Blocking smaller guys is less wear and tear on the body. It's more fun, it takes more thinking."
Leftwich said the switches aren't as simple as they might seem.
"It's a big change, they are playing in more space against better athletes," he said. "Technique-wise, the footwork is a major change."
"Balance-wise, getting in space," Brown said of the differences. "You've got to be more under control, more disciplined."
When asked his reaction when he was told he was moving to tackle, Brown said, "It made sense, get more athletic guys on the edge."
There is a competition there. When Watkins got hurt in the middle of last season, Amdall moved in from tackle to fill that spot at guard and Christian Harper earned a few starts at tackle. He's back and fighting for a spot, as is backup Jerome Daniels.
"There's pretty good competition with the guards out at tackle," Harper said. "With more experience in there I have to pick things up. This is a good experience, something I can take in a positive way."
Coach Sean Kugler said that attitude is something he wanted to build when the team made these moves.
"We wanted to get more athletic at tackle and create good competition," Kugler said.
That has been accomplished.

Has the 'voice of the org' become female? Compared to two or three years ago, it seems to have shifted from obviously male to predominantly female.
Points supporting this hypothesis:
-the most active members of the site are female
(excluding doki and unseen admin guys)
Maybe they always were on the forum. I remember plenty of girls posting in 2004 to 2005. But I also remember a lot more guys posting at the same time. Now they all seem to be female. Every thread with three or more pages has more females posting than guys (generalization).
-the banners are girly
They've always featured female characters, but now they're cutsy baby pastel female characters instead of hot seminude pinups. We have a flower on our new logo so we can expect even more pretty girly banners in the next year. Are there any guys making banners or have they been run off by the pastels? I like pale blue and lavender, myself. Girls make the banners (fact) and girls do the voting (assumption).
-more girls announce videos than guys
This statement has not been verified. But every time I randomly look in the announcement forum, most of the names are recognizable females (either regulars who I know are girls, or new members with girl names).
-more girls make popular videos than guys
Based off the top 10 list for the last year versus previous years (generalization).
-we're nicer and more tolerant to trolls
Kickass31~~ & Hatter's recent reappearance compared to the reaction to Sammy and other foregone trolls (fact). Whether or not this is because of the prominent female presence is debatable.
-we're all about loving wmm users to their faces, though few of us actually use the program
This is a fact. It used to be the only people who defended the program were people who were still using it. Now we have a forum just for that program, where everyone who's never used it stops by to tell newbies how it works. I blame this on the decrease in testosterone because most of the people posting in that forum (helping *and* asking for help) are female.
-females rule the MEPs
I can't remember any MEPs from two years ago that were predominantly female, let alone run by a female coordinator. Most of the MEPs that came out in the last 1.5 years were run and filled by females (fact).
-females give more ops
Collectively this is a fact. Whether it's an increase versus previous years, I don't know. We can't sort the op lists by date. I don't remember there being so many girls so high on the lists two years ago.
Points against the hypothesis:
-guys still win the VCAs, with one token female per year (sometimes two)
Fact. With girls doing the majority of the active forum-posting, the MEPs, the banners, the vid announcements, and the ops, it's interesting that guys are still the ones doing the successful videos. I'm curious to know who voted for the vcas - a list so I can see how many were male versus female. Maybe the guys still outnumber us, or maybe girls are more active in voting and they just happen to prefer videos made by guys. Or maybe the guys here are just better at making amvs than the girls. I have no idea.
I've always thought of "The Org" and amvs in general as a "guy thing." It's amusing to see how female it's become. And the big question - are there more girls, or are the girls more noticeable because the active guys are disappearing?
Assuming this trend continues, I'd like to still be here when the day comes where the winners of the VCA are girls with a "token guy". Then the female takeover will be complete. ^_^

The USS Relativity (NCV-474439-G) was a Federation Wells-class timeship in service to Starfleet in the 29th century, under the command of Captain Braxton. (VOY episode: "Relativity"; NF comic: "Double Time")
The Relativity was first encountered by 24th century Starfleet personnel in 2374 when the timeship traveled back to prevent Captain Mackenzie Calhoun and the crew of the USS Excalibur from interfering with history and helping the people of Haresh overcome a Redeemer attack. Captain Braxton had the Excalibur disabled, but the interference was allowed to continue when an Enevian starship from the far future arrived and ordered the Relativity to leave. (NF comic: "Double Time")
Some time later the crew of the Relativity were ordered to investigate the USS Voyager's destruction in 2375 and transported Seven of Nine aboard to help with their investigation. It was later determined that a future version of Braxton had been responsible and after his sabotage was averted, the current Braxton was arrested by his first officer, Lieutenant Juel Ducane.

Intel to demo Larrabee, Sandy Bridge tomorrow
updated 06:00 pm EDT, Tue September 22, 2009
Intel Maloney keynote leaked
A prematurely released copy of Intel's plans for a Wednesday keynote has surfaced a day in advance and has provided details of the company's plans for the near future. The release obtained by ZDNet has Intel executive VP Sean Maloney revealing that the company has started shipping its many-cored Larrabee graphics chip to developers ahead of a full release and demonstrating what it can do in real-time. The demo should show a custom build of the online shooter Enemy Territory: Quake Wars running with raytraced lighting, a feat which is technically difficult for any graphics hardware as it calculates the path of each ray of light rather than making "shortcut" calculations.
Larrabee is based on 32 Pentium-based cores that are optimized both to talk to each other and to run the vector math often used in graphics, especially in 3D. Intel's design counts on having fewer but more powerful cores than most dedicated graphics cards, which even in budget parts often have several times more cores that are individually limited. It should ultimately accelerate general-purpose computing tasks as a companion part but will focus on graphics first when it's fully ready in 2010.
The demo is also scheduled to include a live example of a 32 nanometer processor using Intel's late 2010 Sandy Bridge architecture, which builds the graphics core into the processor itself. Maloney is expected to talk about the much more imminent Westmere processors using the existing architecture (Nehalem) on 32nm.
Other elements of the keynote should include Gulftown, the codename for mainstream desktop six-core processors under the Core i9 badge, and Nehalem-EX, an eight-core Xeon variant due early next year and aimed mainly at servers rather than workstations.

'The budget simply wasn't there, so we ended up putting the hours in rather than compromise our ideas.'

Pet Experience & Levelling
Last Chaos Pet Experience and LevelingSee: The Pet GUI & Menu | Pet Acquisition | Pet Health Hunger & Sympathy | Pets & Mounts | Pet Skills | Animal Trainer | Mounts
One of the most important things about a pet is its experience and abilitiy to grow, develop, and level. A pet gains experience only when it is equipped. It cannot gain experience simply by being in a player's inventory. An equipped pet will gain experience when your character is in combat. For roughly every 2-4 hits against a foe, the equipped pet will gain 1 experience point. When your pet has gained the required amount of experience, the pet will gain a level and receive 1 technical point. You can see how much experience is required for your pet to level in the Pet Menu. Experience will be shown as "current experience/experience required". You will also be able to see any unspent technical points in the pet menu.
Technical points are used to purchase skills for your pet. To purchase pet skills, you will need to talk to the Animal Trainer NPC in Randol or Dratan. Talking to the Animal Trainer will present you with a menu of pet actions. If you want to buy pet skills, select the "Pet Training" option. From here you will be able to use technical points to purchase pet skills (social skills or "commands" do not require technical points as they are completely free to unlock.
|See Also:
Pet Experience & Level Chart
Once a pet has been trained to become a mount, it will no longer gain experience. A pet that has died or become sealed cannot gain experience until it is unsealed. If you have allowed your pet to starve and it is refusing to move, it will not gain experience either. Pets will not gain experience if the enemy's name is blue (of a lower level than your character). The enemy must have a green, white, orange, or red name for your pet to gain experience from your combat.
If your pet has been killed, you may note that trying to equip the dead pet will give you a message on the left side above chat box saying something like " your pet will recover in 12 hours, 00 minutes." This is 12 hours of real time in combat. So if you are really broke you can do 12 hours of combat to unseal your pet. If you try to fight for 6 hours figuring you only will pay half the price to unseal or revive your pet, you will find that you still pay full price.
Using Pet experience potions
Your pet gains 1 pet experience point for every 3-4 hits on a mob. The number of hits depends on the class as I have found out.
If you use a regular pet experience potion, your pet points double for every round of hits. If you use the Platinum pet Experience potion then you get 3 times the pet experience points. This means in Double pet experience points using a Platinum Experience potion will get you 6 times the points. Then the regular pet experience potion is 4 times
P2 Pet Leveling
These pets gain experience like you do, by every kill you make. So again, the higher the monster you kill the higher the % of xp you get for your pet. If you go to the Animal Trainer you will have to pay. You used to go to the Archbishop and get revived for free, but no more.
One way noted, as I have seen this numerous times used, is if you are hugging the wall to help a friend out say for a combat party, then have your P2 pet out. Then when in a party, someone makes a kill, then the P2 pet a Scrat-chi or other P2 Pet will level slowly. Then just a matter of coming back in a few hours to feed your pet.

(Nasdaq:JASO) ("JA Solar" or the "Company"), one of the world's largest manufacturers of high-performance solar power products, today announced its unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013. First Quarter 2013 Highlights *Shipments were 442.7 MW, consisting of 248.0 MW of modules, 189.5 MW of cells, and 5.2 MW of module and cell tolling, exceeding the high end of the Company's previous guidance of 430 MW and representing a decrease of 11.5% from the fourth quarter of 2012 *Net revenue was RMB 1.7 billion ($270.0 million), compared to RMB 1.7 billion ($268.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2012 *Gross margin was positive 6.0%, compared to gross margin of negative 4.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012 *Operating loss was RMB 85.2 million ($13.7 million), compared to operating loss of RMB 493.9 million ($79.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2012 *Net loss was RMB 206.5 million ($33.3 million), of which net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB 204.3 million ($32.9 million) *Loss per diluted ADS was RMB 5.29 ($0.85), compared to loss per diluted ADS of RMB 15.06 ($2.42) in the fourth quarter of 2012 *Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter were RMB 2.8 billion ($454.9 million), compared to RMB 3.0 billion ($488.1 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012 Mr. Baofang Jin, executive chairman and CEO of JA Solar, commented, "Shipments exceeded the high end of guidance in the first quarter thanks to solid sales across our key markets, particularly in regions with higher ASPs, resulting in improved gross margins and a significant reduction in net loss." Mr. Jin continued, "We performed especially well in Japan, a high-ASP market, which accounted for a record 38% of our module shipments in the quarter, while module sales to China declined from last quarter due to seasonality and our shiftin focus to markets with more attractive margins. We also made further inroads into emerging markets, including in the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa." "While conditions remain challenging, we are confident that our strength across key markets will continue to drive solid performance, and our emphasis on stringent management of cash and our balance sheet should ensure the long-term success of our business," Mr. Jin added. "Having successfully repaid $119 million of our convertible notes in May, we are continuously evaluating our financing options to ensure we have the cash needed to solidify our market-leading position, while maintaining a healthy balance sheet. Going forward, JA Solar's combination of superior product offerings and prudent financial management will continue to help us further expand our global footprint and customer base."

This represents an 11.5% decrease from 500 MW in the fourth quarter of 2012 and an increase of 20.9% from 366 MW in the first quarter of 2012. The sequential decline in shipment volumes was primarily due to seasonality.

The slight sequential increase in net revenue despite the decline in shipment volumes was primarily the result of the Company's shift in focus to markets with higher average selling price.

The sequential increase in research and development expenses was primarily related to various initiatives implemented to further improve the efficiency and quality of the Company's products. Operating loss in the first quarter of 2013 was RMB 85.2 million ($13.7 million), compared with an operating loss of RMB 493.9 million ($79.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2012 and an operating loss of RMB 159.1 million ($25.6 million) in the first quarter of 2012. Operating margin was negative 5.1% in the first quarter of 2013, compared with negative 29.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and negative 9.9% in the first quarter of 2012. Other loss in the first quarter of 2013 was RMB 17.5 million ($2.8 million), compared with other income of RMB 20.5 million ($3.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2012 and other income of RMB 32.1 million ($5.2 million) in the first quarter of 2012.

The 2013 Silver City's Tour of the Gila, powered by SRAM, will once again test the mettle of top male and female racers in one of the toughest and hilliest stage races in the United States.
"We're very proud to be sponsoring the Tour of the Gila, one of the signature events in our area, and we're happy to ensure its future success." stated Silver City Town Manager Alex Brown.
Racers, team staff and fans alike will converge to Silver City in May. The bustling town at 6,000 feet of elevation with a diverse business community, a four-year university and an award-winning historic downtown is a perfect venue to anchor the event.
"The Town of Silver City has continually encouraged and supported the Tour of the Gila and the race organizers are very pleased to announce that they stepped up to become our title sponsor in 2013. We are extremely excited to continue to bring international bicycle racing to New Mexico." said Race Director Jack Brennan.
Longtime friend to the event and presenting sponsor, SRAM will be onsite to provide their top-notch Neutral Service Support (NRS) to teams and riders racing at Gila.
"We're very proud to continue our support of the Silver City Tour of the Gila, the Gila family and all of the athletes that make this a special institution of the American road racing scene," said SRAM Road Sports Marketing Manager Alex Wassmann.
The 2013 Silver City's Tour of the Gila consists of five stages - three road stages, one time trial and one criterium - with approximately 15,000 feet of climbing overall. The race culminates with the Gila Monster road stage - the make or break Queen Stage - with its 9,131 feet of climbing over 105 miles of racing.
During those five days, racers and spectators can catch a glimpse of ancient Native American culture at the 700-plus year-old ruins of the Mogollon people at the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. They can get to know the Mimbres and its people known for their art which provided the inspiration for the trophy bowls. They will be immersed in the old west in Silver City, near the birthplace of famous Apache warrior Geronimo and the childhood home of the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid.
No other race in America can lay claim to such ancient and notorious history.
Part of the 2013 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar (NRC) and with a 2.2 ranking on UCI America Tour, the event will continue to provide a testing ground for America's emerging professional racers, and as a race where the strong get stronger.
Joe Dombrowski, Andrew Talansky, Evan Huffman, Mara Abbott and many more had breakthrough rides at previous Tour of the Gila events.
2012 London Olympic Games Gold medalist Kristin Armstrong used the Tour of the Gila to fine-tune her form in her successful quest for the Olympic medal.
The men's and women's teams that will contest the 2013 Silver City's Tour of the Gila will be announced in the upcoming weeks. The event is not only for professionals, as it includes divisions for all skill levels.
