I had a bad headache that wouldn't go away too. Lasted 3-4 days until it started to level out. I believe it was the hormone crash too. Hang in there and try to get as much sleep and rest as possible!

I had a migraine for five days and then a regular headache for several more. I took the pain meds mainly for my head rather than cramps!

That's why I'm taking the pain meds too! It's good to know its not just me. Now if only there was something to help with my bad attitude! It''ll be a week since my d&c tomorrow, 2weeks since no hb. Hopefully I'm not still a sourpuss for Christmas too. Thanks everybody. It really helps me to be on this board, even if I just read other stories like mine.

The Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics (my department) in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (my college) at The Ohio State University (my university) is hiring for four new faculty positions--and I am not ashamed of taking advantage of this blog to promote the positions. If you have (or are close to earning) a PhD with interests in agricultural economics, environmental economics, regional economics, development economics or some combination of those fields along with other interests, then we can probably align your interests with one of our four positions.
Come join me in a top rated department (according to the National Research Council at least) in a top 20 public university (according to US News at least) in the Best Opportunity City in the U.S. (according to Forbes at least).
Our open positions are:
Click on the links for full descriptions and application info.
Browsing through the streaming videos available on Amazon Prime last night, I came across a documentary series called "wetheeconomy." I'm probably slow to the party but the series features a series of short (5-10 minute) documentaries introducing basic economic topics like supply and demand, measuring GDP, what is money,... Of particular interest to this blog, one of the documentaries is titled "A Bee's Invoice: The Hidden Value in Nature," which is designed to answer the question: Are natural resources vital to the economy?
The environmental economist in me is excited to see environmental valuation included in Chapter 1 of a series introducing a wide array of economic topics. Maybe, this whole environmental economics thing is gaining some traction.
The jealous, rapidly aging human in me is jealous that the film features appearances by two economists, both of whom have interacted on our blog, and neither of whom is named Whitehead or Haab. Anyway, nice work Gernot Wagner and Jodi Beggs* in promoting the cause. I presume they were chosen because the producers thought John and I were unavailable--either that or they wanted younger faces to attract a different demographic than the epitome of boring middle-class soccer/baseball dads.
*Jodi once called us cool, and Gernot stoops so low as to occasionally contribute to Env-Econ. I'm going to go as far as say we had a part in launching the careers of these two film stars. Hopefully they remember us when the riches start to flow.

145th Annual Meeting
August 16 - 20, 2015 | Portland, OR
Call for Papers (Deadline March 13)
Economic and Social Impacts of Stocking Cultured Fish
The symposium will present information on the impacts of stocking hatchery reared fish. Specifically, economic and social impacts will be discussed. Some recent papers have indicated that hatchery stocked fish create a high return in economic activity related to both recreational fishing and tournament fishing. Economic impacts include increased sales of boats and fishing gear, increased travel revenue to hotels and restaurants, job creation and increased tax collections. Social impacts can include quality family time together, benefits of spending time outdoors and interaction with other anglers. Some recent publications have indicated that time spent outdoors has both health and mental health benefits especially for children. The symposium will try to address how hatchery stockings impact these benefits of angling. It is possible that there is some increase in fishing effort at sites that are stocked and where stockings are advertised, even if the stockings do not measurably increase catch. For other waters, a fishery may not exist or simply wouldn't keep up with fishing demand without stockings. The symposium is intended to lead to a better understanding of how stocking cultured fish affects the benefits to the public from fishing.

No comment on the conspiracy theory (Warmer waters ...):
In the vast gulf that arcs from Massachusetts's shores to Canada's Bay of Fundy, cod was once king. It paid for fishermen's boats, fed their families and put their children through college. In one halcyon year in the mid-1980s, the codfish catch reached 25,000 tons.
Today, the cod population has collapsed. Last month, regulators effectively banned fishing for six months while they pondered what to do, and next year, fishermen will be allowed to catch just a quarter of what they could before the ban.
But a fix may not be easy. The Gulf of Maine's waters are warming — faster than almost any ocean waters on earth, scientists say — and fish are voting with their fins for cooler places to live. That is upending an ecosystem and the fishing industry that depends on it. ...
Regulators this month canceled the Maine shrimp catch for the second straight year, in no small part because shrimp are fleeing for colder climes. Maine lobsters are booming, but even so, the most productive lobster fishery has shifted as much as 50 miles up the coast in the last 40 years. Black sea bass, southerly fish seldom seen here before, have become so common that this year, Maine officials moved to regulate their catch. Blue crab, a signature species in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, are turning up off Portland.
In decades past, the gulf had warmed on average by about one degree every 21 years. In the last decade, the average has been one degree every two years. ...
A warmer ocean is not merely a matter of comfort or discomfort for creatures that dwell there. Scientists suspect that some species struggle to spawn when the temperature fluctuates. Others may spawn at the wrong time when food is scarce. Freshwater from melting arctic glaciers may be altering levels of minerals crucial to plankton, the base of the gulf's food chain.
There is a human toll as well. Cod-fishing restrictions have ravaged, at least temporarily, the community of day boats — the ones owned by small-business fishermen, with smaller boats and incomes than corporate trawler fleets — that defined New England for centuries. ...
But many other fishermen do not blame climate change. They blame the regulators, calling the moratorium cruel and needless, because they say their latest cod catches are actually better than in recent years. More than a few talk of a conspiracy between scientists and environmentalists to manufacture a fishing crisis that will justify their jobs.
Scientists say the truth is more prosaic: Although the gulf is generally warming — 2012 was the hottest year on record — the last year was cooler, and kinder to cod. Moreover, the gulf's remaining cod have congregated in deeper, colder waters in southern Maine and Massachusetts, where their abundance masks their scarcity elsewhere. ...
That said, much about warming's effect on the gulf remains unclear. Years of overfishing have winnowed some fish populations, muddling efforts to measure climate change's impact. Fishermen, scientists and regulators often disagree over whether the current changes are temporary or the new normal.
And in fact, the latest warming is not unprecedented. Weather records document a steady, if slow warming of the region's waters since the 1850s, and a 50- to-70-year climatic cycle set off unusual ocean warming in the 1950s. A similar cycle is believed to be heating up the northwest Atlantic today.
But scientists say those cyclical effects are now being turbocharged by human-caused climate change. The gulf has been at least two degrees warmer than its historical 50-degree average in each of the last five years. In 2012, it measured four degrees higher, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If that is a clear win for sea bass, and a loss for cod, the consequences for some species are not so easily tallied.
I've worked on two climate change and (recreational) fishing studies. One focused on sea level rise and shore fishing and, the most recent, temperature and precipitation on fishing days. Neither have considered changes in stock ranges due to water temperature changes. I'm not quite sure how this would be done in a simple-minded model (i.e., one that isn't funded at the interdisciplinary level).
From a reporter:
What I'm interested in is:
1. Your reaction to the study.
2. Your assessment of local fisheries based on what you have seen working with the SAFMC and well as the sanctuary.
My reply:
1a. That is an old study. Why is it drawing interest now?
1b. The statistical model that predicts collapse is very simple with a flow variable (collapsed fisheries that varies from year to year) regressed on a stock variable (cumulative number of years in the time series data). I created some data where the dependent variable (y in the paper) is a random number between 1 and 10 and the independent variable (x in the paper) is cumulative beginning with 1 and ending with 40 (years). My results aren't as impressive as those in the papers but it indicates a statistically significant relationship ... when there is none. If my simulated data is for the years 1970 to 2010 it would predict that all fisheries are gone by some year in the future too.
In short, I don't trust the model that generates 2048 as doomsday.
2. I would go with this information: http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/fisheries_eco/status_of_fisheries/fssi.html
Here a two posts on that study from 2006 (no more crabcakes, ITQs).
The linear model doesn't fit the made up data but the double log model, the same functional form as this, fits pretty well (r=.32 which is less than .96, but still).
... without calling them out as being crappy? Retraction Watch:
... some fish mating researchers wrote a, um, love note to their peers that failed to be edited out by any of the many eyes who must have at least glanced over it.
Here's our favorite passage in "Variation in Melanism and Female Preference in Proximate but Ecologically Distinct Environments" (emphasis ours), published in Ethology:
Although association preferences documented in our study theoretically could be a consequence of either mating or shoaling preferences in the different female groups investigated (should we cite the crappy Gabor paper here?), shoaling preferences are unlikely drivers of the documented patterns both because of evidence from previous research and inconsistencies with a priori predictions.
If that's not a candidate for #overlyhonestmethods, we're not sure what is. Let's hope they were focusing too hard on the science to notice the citations.
Or maybe they meant "crappie."
Provide the crappy papers that you sometimes feel a need to cite in the comments.
Last week I mentioned I mentioned that I would be presenting (yesterday) to The Ohio State University Environmental Professionals Network Breakfast Club on the topic of "Ohio's Water Resources and Citizens at Risk - Ag-related Practices and Policies to Prevent Harmful Algal Blooms, Post-Toledo." I (along with each of two other panel members) was given 5 minutes to give opening remarks before moderator driven Q&A. Rather than my normal rambling unstructured style of presentation, I decided to give a speech--which means actually writing a speech. So here is the speech I gave (speech I read is probably a better way of putting it) to a audience of 230 representatives of ag and non ag sectors. I'm told there will be video at some point. I will let you know if video emerges--provided it doesn't make me look like a complete bungling idiot.
We've heard a lot today about solutions for high phosphorous loads in Lake Erie and the resulting harmful algal blooms. As an environmental economist, I'm told my role in this discussion is to provide a balanced look at the potential costs of reducing phosphorous loadings into Lake Erie, the benefits of those reductions to society, and the burden of the costs of phosphorous reductions.
Some of you may be wondering, what is an environmental economist? An environmental economist is an economist who applies the science of economics to environmental issues. I am not an environmentalist. Don't get me wrong, I care about the environment. But I am realistic about the role that incentives, trade-offs, and profits play in finding solutions to environmental issues that lead to sustainable human well-being. I recognize the reality that the economy and the natural environment are inextricably linked and attempting to separate the study of each creates a situation in which neither is sustainable. Economic, social and environmental sustainability requires the realization that no single solution exists.
So what then, from my perspective as an environmental economist, is the fundamental issue surrounding harmful algal blooms? Excess nutrient loads into Lake Erie are the result of misalignment of incentives. The profit incentives of the on-farm sector fail to fully capture the costs of nutrient application decisions to the non-agricultural sectors. The cost-savings incentives of industrial and municipal sources of run-off fail to fully capture the downstream costs of urban run-off. The consume-now incentive of today's consumers fails to fully capture the cost of today's decisions on future generations.
None of these statements are judgments on the intent of individual farmers, or municipal decision makers or society today in making decisions that impose excess costs on others. In fact, in my experience, most people want to do the right thing. Farmers care about environmental issues. Municipalities care about water quality. Today's generation cares about the future. Yet when consumption and production decisions are made, reality differs from intent.
For example, when I drove here this morning, I gave no thought to the cost my car exhaust imposes on others. I know that my exhaust contributes to increased atmospheric pollution. I know that by driving I increase the likelihood of health issues for those with breathing issues. I know that my driving contributes to long-term climate change. Yet, other than being a genuinely nice person, I have no incentive to incorporate those external costs into my driving decisions. The price of driving does not fully reflect the external costs.
Prices are the economy's rationing mechanism. It is prices that drive economic decisions. Prices provide signals. It's prices that serve as a market's way of reflecting the value of something. And if prices fail to fully reflect the current and future costs and benefits of production and consumption, markets will misallocate society's scarce resources.
In political and social discussions we hear a lot of talk about the need for less government regulation, the need for free markets. In general I agree with free market advocates. But in order for a market to do its job of allocating society's scarce resources today and into the future, that market must capture ALL costs and benefits. Otherwise a market is not truly a free market.
In the case of the environment, we can think of the problem as one of the failure of markets to properly price the services the environment supplies. In effect, the environment is treated as a free input in production and consumption. It is only natural that if something is free we will use more than we would if it were priced at its true value. If gas were free, I would use a lot more of it.
Because the cost of environmental degradation is not captured in markets, we use more of it than we would otherwise. It might be tempting then to conclude that markets are the problem. I agree to a certain extent. Markets are failing to properly account for costs and benefits. But markets are also the solution.
To solve the harmful algal bloom problem, we need to find ways to better capture the external costs of using nitrogen and phosphorous in the markets in which they are used—and then allow the resulting incentives to work to solve the problem. To do so, we can focus on the quantity of phosphorous, or we can focus on the price. Quantity restrictions are effective if monitored effectively, but effective monitoring is difficult. Effective quantity restrictions will reflect in market prices. However, ill-designed quantity restrictions can result in regulatory costs that are higher than needed.
Regulating prices, on the other hand, allow the users to make decisions that reduce their own costs. By allowing the freedom to choose how to adapt to higher prices, price-based policies can achieve the same outcomes as quantity restrictions at lower cost. Prices also provide incentives for innovation. As prices rise to reflect the full costs, users will have the incentive to find lower cost alternatives. New investments in research and development will lead to new lower-cost technologies. Market-based price regulations allow the market to allocate society's scarce resources efficiently.
However, many price-based solutions have a negative reputation. As I mention each of these, I'm sure each will garner some sort of negative reaction: taxes, subsidies, cap and trade, user fees. But as an environmental economist, I recognize that solutions that build environmental costs into market decisions allow individuals to make the decisions that are in their own best interest. The result is what's best for society.
Unfortunately, we are talking about a problem of magnitude that hoping people will do the right thing is not an option. While voluntary programs are attractive politically, achieving a 40% reduction in Lake Erie phosphorous loadings, if that is indeed the goal, is going to require more than reliance on goodwill. Real, sustainable, solutions are going to require a recognition that prices need to capture the full social costs of nitrogen and phosphorous use. Anything short of that will lead right back here in the future, hoping the problem solves itself.
The headline says "mountaintop removal for coal hurts water quality and harms fish." Well, we knew that. Luckily, the article actually gives an idea of the magnitude:
In West Virginia's Appalachian mountains, fish are vanishing. The number of species has fallen, the populations of those that remain are down, and some individual fish look a little skinny.
A new government study traces the decline in abundance to mountaintop removal, the controversial coal mining practice of clear cutting trees from mountains before blowing off their tops with explosives. ...
[Nathaniel] Hitt and [Doug] Chambers found that the number of species was cut in half and the abundance of fish fell by a third. The silverjaw minnow, fosyface shiner, silver shiner, bluntnose minnow, spotted bass and largemouth bass, along with at least two other species detected before their study, were no longer there. ...
"The people opposed to the coal industry are trying to pile on with more studies," said Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association. "It sounds like this is one of those studies that sets out to show there's harm done. It sounds like perhaps more of the same."
Raney said he has not seen the USGS study and cannot strongly criticize its methods or conclusions, but people "don't just wake up in the morning and decide they are going to do mountaintop mining," he said. "It takes three to four years to get a permit. Every aspect of the operation is analyzed." ...
The coal the process produces provides power to hundreds of thousands of homes, industry advocates say, and creates about 14,000 jobs that pay middle-income salaries in regions where work is hard to find.
"The average mining wage is more than $66,000 per year . . . 57 percent higher than the average for industrial jobs," according to the National Mining Association. "Mountaintop mining accounts for approximately 45 percent of the entire state's coal production in West Virginia."
Raney's association disputed claims that mining destroys streams and mountains, saying state permits and government regulations require the land to be restored after use.
This is a situation where the lack of valuation for water quality and fish makes consideration of what is best for society very difficult. Armed with market transactions (and their permits that insure pristine environmental quality after reclamation) the coal industry presents the costs of regulations in dollar terms while the scientists present the benefits in species and stock status terms. That isn't a fair fight.
This is an example of why environmentalists and efficiency advocates should think that environmental valuation is needed. Getting ahead of that curve, industry argues that environmental valuation is junk science. When environmental regulation costs are monetized and the benefits are not, the costs will usually win. Since sometimes the benefits of regulation will exceed the costs there will be too little regulation and economic efficiency will be lower than it could be.
Full disclosure: I've boarded with Doug Chambers, older brother of graduate school office mate Paul, after my car broke down in WVa.
Bob Hughes, American Fisheries Society president writes:
"Population growth is a component of economic growth, determining it's natural rate (Harrod 1939). In addition, neoclassical economists regard population growth as necessary for per capita growth in gross domestic product over the long term (Romer 1990; Jones 1998). That is, neoclassical economists believe that more people are needed to stimulate more consumption per person."
But actually Romer says that human capital (i.e., knowledge, education) is necessary for economic growth but population is not (here is the pdf). There is nothing in any standard economics textbook that says population growth drives economic growth. For example, Mankiw (6e), a standard neoclassical economics textbook, says that consumption per person is: c = (1-s)f(k), where s is the saving rate and k is the capital stock per worker.
What am I missing? Why would a fisheries biologist write such a thing?

I'm doing my best to understand it myself,
I tried multiple rolls of tri-x, from the same batch, exposed under similar lighting conditions. Agitated them in my usual way. (continuous for 30 seconds, then 10 seconds each minute at the bottom half of the minute.)
D-76 was 1 to 1, for the listed development time, HC-110 was dilution B for 6 minutes, (I disagree with the 3-1/2 minute listed time. )
D-76 negs came out underdeveloped and thin, the only way I found that I can get decent negs from Tri-X in D-76 is to agitate 10 seconds every 30 seconds and develop at N+2 or N+3. And then they are still not as well developed as they are using HC-110 Dillution B for 6 minutes.
I have spend quite a few rolls of film trying to get D-76 to work for me, and I have used it very successfully tank developing quite a bit of Ilford HP-5+ 4X5.
EDIT: I am also now rating Tri-X (Expired) at ISO 200 and Fresh at ISO 320. I'm going to see if that helps.

I have to agree with you Susan, as a blogger I don't like it. I never could get into Digg because it seemed like all the posts which reached the front page got there using less than trustworthy techniques.
Though I don't use social sites like digg often I do use stumbleupon from time to time and I'm a big fan of it so I hope paid sites like this don't become more common. Though the skeptic in me suggests that it will.
A also agree with you Susan. I would much prefer my content be voted to the top naturally then pay for the bumps. If you provide truly valuable content, then you shouldn't have much trouble in getting some good referrals and votes on these social media sites.
I actively submit content to StumbleUpon, Delicious, and Ximmy (where I just submitted this post). Definitely, having any form of automation and payment for these activities should not be encouraged. However, I support giving incentives to users who submit high quality content on a regular basis.
Is it any different to paying for Google Adsense to be displayed on others hard work and efforts across the net. a lot of people turn to displaying ads because their hard work does not pay what they expected or nearly enough "I had 350,000 unique page views to one site one month and earned 20% £60. And people that do not like doing hard work and have got money pay for the ads.
Stumble Upon sell adds to the users if they want more views, it sounds like this company for Diggin are providing a service that seems quite natrual.
I think it is as fair as Google adsense to people that work hard for the views.
I was looking for paid for Diggs for a totally different reason, I am in competition with a friend not for money from digg views but to be first on page one of Google for a particular search term. he said article marketing does not work for improving rankings. It does, but am looking for a quick boost past page two he is on 5,
"Its A Long Story" and he has already started to try to use under hand tacktics and cheat by stealing content from my websites and using them on his and he has money on his side. lol – and hes a Christian lol "I dont Know"
many thousands of naturally looking visitors on top of the ones I am getting to my home page- and not looking paid for would do the trick very nicely indeed. If I had the money I would do, and risk losing my account, not an issue just as long as I get the visits first.
But as a kind a blogger and a sporting personality I would feel much more satisfied knowing my Digg received the views because I had found something useful for readers.

No, you don't really need one, but sometimes it can make life a whole lot easier. If a friend has one, borrow it. It makes calibration faster, it makes making copy negs, or internegs, faster. It makes the science end of photography easier. If you have an interest here, then go for it. You don't have to spend much money to get a nice one. I use PMK, too, and I don't use a color densitometer. I use an Xrite 301 with a blue filter. This is the same as the blue channel on a color unit. This gets one pretty close and as close as you can get with any densitometer. To get closer you would need to run spectrals on all you materials and then you'd be way off in the deep end. When it comes down to it, it is only the final print that matters and not whether you have a densitometer.
I was just looking at ebay in closed auctions and noticed that there are many units that closed for under $100. I got mine for $30, as is, not working. Turned out to need a fuse and an aperture. Xrite will sell apertures, but cost more than I paid for unit, so I made one. I pull it out and use it about once a month.

I mostly work with C# (asp.net webforms & mvc, winforms and some wcf), JS/jQuery & HTML but I do have experience with Java, php & classic asp. I do rich web app type stuff, both front and backend. I've worked with that stuff via asp.net for a while but now I'm mostly working with MVC 3 and Azure.
I'm a huge fan of CI with Hudson / Jenkins and I'm going to try to start contributing to it via plugins.
I enjoy programming and when I'm not at work I'll do it as a hobby if I have time or if I have a good idea for something I'd really like to see implemented.

I know it is here somewhere, but I cannot find it.
How long is a chain good for without brakes?
I know it is here somewhere, but I cannot find it.
How long is a chain good for without brakes?
Brakes or not does not affect a chain's longevity.
It's good until it stretches 1/16th of an inch
About 116 links....
Two riders putting in the same mileage in the same weather, one without brakes and one with at least one brake: the rider who only uses back pressure and skipping/skidding to stop is going to need to replace his or her chain more often.
Doing 100-150 miles a week brakeless in NYC, I am apparently supposed to replace my chain about every six months and I'm riding the KMC Kool Ultra-light chain. Better than messengers here, some of whom apparently replace their chains every month. Probably because they ride 40 to 100 miles a day.
Park sells a handy tool that makes it really easy to know if you are one-quarter/half/three-quarters through the life of your chain. Or just plain in need of replacing it.
The fact that the chain on a fixed gear bike is in constant rotation causes the chain to wear quicker than on geared bikes. Increased friction from riding brakeless only exasberates the wear.
The statement regarding some nyc messengers replacing chains on a monthly basis is based on a shop owner having customers come to replace their chains on a near monthly basis.
Whatever messengers are going through their chains that fast have their chain tension way to high. Which greatly accelerates the wearing process. I like to change my chain every 3-4 months, putting in at least 60 miles a days at work.
A little slack in the chain, with give your chain and drive train a lot of extra miles.
With apologies for the minor thread drift.... all other things being equal, should an 1/8" chain have a longer life than 3/32"? Gracias.

Thank you!Topic: People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. There are many reasons people consider when deciding to go to college or university. I believe that people attend college or university for these three reasons: to further knowledge, to experience new things, and to earn a degree. First, I believe that many people go to a college or university to further their knowledge. Many classes of different fields are offered at a college or university, and people can acquire new skills and knowledge of their interests. In addition, there are libraries that hold thousands of books and professors with advanced knowledge to help students learn the materials. Colleges and universities set up their learning environment as comfortable as they can for students. Second, people attending a college or university look for opportunities to experience new things. Many high school graduates leave their homes and parents to live in a dorm or an apartment. This change of an environment allows them to experience a new lifestyle. In addition, there are countless numbers of opportunities to meet new people and to engage in different activities than from those they are accustomed to. Enlarging a social circle, as matter of fact, can prepare them for their future lives. Third, I think that people attend college or university to accomplish an ultimate goal: to earn a degree. Because the world today put so much values on people's educational backgrounds when hiring for a job, a college degree is almost a necessity when applying for a job. Many studies have shown that people with a degree have better chances of getting hired than those without. Furthermore, even after the employment, income values vary among those with a degree and those without. In conclusion, although people attend college or university for many different reasons, I think it is to further their knowledge, to experience new things, and to earn a degree. I believe that these three reasons are what most people look for when deciding to attend a college or university. However, whatever their reasons are, a college education leads to a better and successful life.

Appalachia (Mesozoic)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
In the Mesozoic Era (252 to 66 million years ago) Appalachia was an island land mass separated from Laramidia to the west by the Western Interior Seaway. The seaway eventually shrank, divided across the Dakotas, and retreated towards the Gulf of Mexico and the Hudson Bay. This left the island masses joined in the continent of North America as the Rocky Mountains rose.
From the Turonian age of the Late Cretaceous to the very beginning of the Paleocene, Appalachia was separated from the rest of North America. Because of this, its fauna was isolated, and developed very differently from the tyrannosaur and ceratopsian dominated fauna of the western part of North America, the geologist's "Laramidia". Due to few fossiliferous deposits and many of Appalachia's fossil formations being destroyed by the Pleistocene ice age, little is known about Appalachia. In addition, due to lack of interest in Appalachia, many fossils that have been found in Appalachia lie unstudied and remain in the inaccurate genera to which they were assigned in the days of E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh. However, a few fossil sites, such as Ellisdale in New Jersey, have given us a glimpse into this forgotten world of paleontology.
In Cretaceous North America, the dominant predators were the tyrannosaurs, huge predatory theropods with proportionately massive heads built for ripping flesh from their prey. Tyrannosaurs were the dominant predators in Appalachia too, but rather than the massive tyrannosaurine tyrannosaurs, the dryptosaurs were the top predators of Appalachia. Rather than developing the huge heads and massive bodies of their kin, dryptosaurs had more in common with the basal tyrannosaurs like Dilong and Eotyrannus, having long arms with three fingers, a more lithe skull and body, and were not as large as the largest tyrannosaurids. Two genera of Appalachian dryptosaurs are known, Dryptosaurus and Appalachiosaurus. Though Ornithomimid bones have been reported from Appalachia, it is now believed that these are the bones of juvenile dryptosaurs.[citation needed]
Another common group of Appalachian dinosaurs were the hadrosaurs. While the fossil record shows a staggering variety of hadrosaur forms in Laramidia, hadrosaur remains for Appalachia show less diversity due to the relative scarcity of fossil beds. Many hadrosaurs are known from Appalachia, however, such as Lophorhothon, Hypsibema, and Hadrosaurus. The hadrosaur Claosaurus, known from a specimen which floated into the Interior Seaway and was found in Kansas, might also be from Appalachia, since it was found closer to the Appalachia side of the seaway and is unknown from Western North America. Hypsibema, over fifty feet long, was the titan among eastern hadrosaurs. The genus likely took the environmental niche occupied by large sauropods in other areas.
The nodosaurs, a group of large, herbivorous armored dinosaurs resembling armadillos, are another testament to Appalachia's difference from Laramidia. By the latest Cretaceous, nodosaurs were scarce in western North America, existing only in specialized forms like Edmontonia and Panoplosaurus. A number of nodosaur scutes have been found in eastern North America. Often the findings are not diagnostic enough to identify species, but the remains attest to a greater number of these armored dinosaurs in Appalachia.
Several bird remains are known from appalachian sites, most of them sea birds like Hesperornithes, Ichthyornis, and Enantiornithes like Halimornis. Of particular interest are possible lithornithid remains in New Jersey,[1][2] which would represent a clear example of palaeognath Neornithes in the Late Cretaceous.
A Campanian-era leptoceratopsid ceratopsian has been found in the Tar Heel Formation, marking the first discovery of a ceratopsian dinosaur in the Appalachian zone. This specimen bears a uniquely long, slender and downcurved upper jaw, suggesting that it was an animal with a specialised feeding strategy, yet another example of speciation on an island environment.[3]
Through the Ellisdale Fossil Site, a good picture of Appalachia's non-dinosaurian fauna is present. Amidst lissamphibians, there is evidence for sirenids (including the large Habrosaurus), the batrachosauroidid salamander Parrisia, hylids, possible representatives of Eopelobates and Discoglossus, showing close similarities to European faunas, but aside from Habrosaurus (which is also found on Laramidia) there is a high degree of endemism, suggesting no interchanges with other landmasses throughout the Late Cretaceous.[4] There is also a high degree of endemism in regards for its reptilian fauna: among squamates, the teiid Prototeius is exclusive to the landmass, and native representatives of Iguanidae, Helodermatidae, and Necrosauridae. Amidst turtles, Adocus, Apalone, and Bothremys are well represented, the latter in particular more common in appalachian sites than laramidian ones. The two local crocodilian genera, Deinosuchus and Borealosaurus, are well established in Laramidia as well, probably indicative of their ocean crossing capacities.
Several mammals are also present on Ellisdale. The most common are ptilodontoidean multituberculates, such as Mesodma, Cimolodon and a massively sized species. The sheer diversity of species on the landmass, as well as the earlier appearance compared to other Late Cretaceous locales, suggests that ptilodontoideans evolved in Appalachia.[5][6] Metatherian are also known, including an alphadontid,[7] a stagodontid,[8] and an herpetotheriid.[9] Unlike ptilodontoideans, metatherians show a lesser degree of endemism, implying a degree of interchange with Laramidia and Europe.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Doug firstname.lastname@example.com Dutchtown football coach Jason Galt doesn't throw the word playoffs around too often, but this could be the breakthrough year for the Bulldogs. In their first five years of operation, the Bulldogs have only posted an 11-39 record. But now, as the school heads into year six of its football experience, and the third under Galt, things could be moving in the right direction. A year ago, Galt's club went 5-5, losing all of its games by a combined 20 points. Now, the buzz phrase around the Bulldogs football camp is finish what you started. Galt and his players know playing three quarters of football is not good enough to win when you call Region 4-AAAA home. "We started off really fast in every game last year, but our downfall was not finishing teams off," Galt said. "So this year, our focus is playing four quarters of football." It starts with depth on both side of the ball With seven players back on each side of the line of scrimmage, this is the most depth ever at Dutchtown. Defensive ends Demitri Curry and Kelvin Tanner, defensive end Scott Christensen, defensive back Tony Cochran, linebacker Denario Barvber quarterback Trey Nelson, tight end Brandon Abernathy, offensive line Kyle Wyrick and tight end Ryan Carson are each listed as college prospects, adding plenty of excitment to the team's upcoming season. According to Galt, the team has re-dedicated itself in the weight room and came back bigger and stronger. Add in punter and kicker Ryan Kay, who is only a junior to the mix, and you have solid special teams. "He is definitely a game changer," Galt said. "Last year he was the co-MVP of the football team and that doesn't happen very often to a sophomore or a kicker." Dutchtown plays its first two games against non-region opponents when it opens at home against Northgate on Aug. 28 before hitting the road for a game at Lee County. The Bulldogs then open Region 4-AAAA play against rival Stockbridge on the road on Sept. 11. A year ago, North Clayton, Griffin, Jonesboro and Mt. Zion made the playoffs out of Region 4-AAAA. This year, the Bulldogs want to join the playoff party. "A year ago, I wasn't really sure how strong our region was going to be, but it turned out to be really good once our teams got to the playoffs. It's going to be strong again this year."

It seems as if this year, many (though by no means all) of the more popular profitable trading strategies have involved picking up pennies in front of the proverbial steamroller. The fabled front-end roll-up trade, discussed in this space on several prior occasions, is a prime example.
The more he looks across markets, the more that Macro Man feels that the re-introduction of some sort of risk/term premium into markets is probably overdue. To rely on central banks to cover your hide forever is, ultimately, just asking for a head-on confrontation with the steamroller.
The Swiss, as many FX punters know from bitter experience, are a prime example. It was little more than a year ago that the SNB got stuck into EUR/CHF like a piledriver, engineering a 4% rally in one heady day. And that was basically it. Presumably after some behind-closed-doors yelping from the ECB, the Swiss almost immediately pulled back to a "buy the dips" intervention style which lasted around nine months.
While this wasn't great for big-picture directional guys like your author, it at least provided a platform for range-traders, who could lean on the SNB bid at 1.51....until they couldn't. EUR/CHF has tumbled hard over the past three months since the SNB pulled the bid, turning into a startlingly volatile pair. The (presumably) final nail in the coffin came yesterday evening, when new SNB board member Danthine said that firms should prepare for higher rates and market-determined FX rates. Yowsah!
The December euroswiss contract current prices in 3m LIBOR at 0.63% from year end, up nicely from the current reading of 0.25%. While Macro Man doesn't really think that they'll put rates up over the course of the year, the chart looks perched on the edge of a precipice, having already shed some 20 ticks from the highs.
All of which brings us back to the US. Bloomberg carries a story suggesting that the discount rate could rise again ahead of the next FOMC meeting as part of the (cough, cough) "normalization" process. Meanwhile, it seems as if Macro Man isn't the only one scratching his head and wondering why 3m LIBOR is still hugging the top end of the FF target band. After 5 months of the kind of flatlining that would make PBOC proud, LIBOR has begun to slowly tick higher.
Could that rumbling be the sound of Jake firing up the steamroller? Hmmmm. Macro Man cannot help but observe that the latest rally, in which the financials have participated heartily has a) offered no real threatening price action to challenge weak longs, and b) come in the context of weak volume.
Calling turns is famously difficult, and Macro Man knows better than to try and stand in front of a risk-asset...err....steamroller. That doesn't preclude booking profits on longs however, which to his eye looks like a prudent way to avoid a head-on collision with the steamroller moving the other way.

This clearly is all because of the Obamacare reform being rammed down our throats by the socialists.
Just kidding.
I'm hesitant to agree with you only because I thought the same thing in July, September and January in various markets. I think we can all easily underestimate the amount of dry powder still out there...

the vernal equinox (on 3/20 this year) has been known for spectacular turns in anything that trades...i liked the precise turn from that equinox in 2008 when gold made it's (then) all time high and US dollar hit it's all time low (70.70) and various commodites and stock mkts also turned off the 3/17/08
so here we are with US dollar looking at the 1991 1995 2005 lows in the 81 area, and possible healthcare reform and china tightening on the equinox weekend
Money market fund holdings plunged $73.7 bln to $3.017 bln. The decline has been huge in recent weeks... the sharp decline in money market fund assets is a reason for the Fed to lift rates. The decline may be suggesting yield chasing and could lead to imbalances in the economy

I have a distinct feeling that everything changes at month end when the remaining $20B of Banana Ben's asset purchases are over. This market, which everyone has struggled to explain, might just be a "normal" market under QE. We'd never know because it's unprecedented.
My guess is that this draws to a close very soon.

Today is a Push Monday Event Risk Significant
The backdrop today for the Equity investor is a lot different than many perceive, most US professionals are focused on expiration and maintaining the positive trajectory into quarter end. Earlier in the week, investors received a uniform message from the Fed, BoE, BoJ that liquidity and growth remains but it is hard to ignore weekend risk of a US DR or China RRR hike and quarter end risk of QE programs ending. Add in Citigroup supply risk and weekend health care passing and Monday is of greater concern. Unlike Equities where expiration rarely provides a true gauge of future direction, the FX position building is a greater read through to risk assets today. Point being, EURCHF highlights the Greece concern, EURJPY highlights risk aversion and EURCAD highlights the continued reserve rotation with dollar parity immanent. Point being, this asset class is trading something different today than higher equity prices. The question I cannot answer is does the cross-asset correlation matter, that bias is no given the recent breakdown having no impact.
Financials - Separately, European Financials are well bid on the back of Lloyds (+10%) . US Financials are the best performing sector YTD and S&P quarterly rebalance is approx 1 billion to buy on today's close. I highlight this because Fannie Mae just updated its forecast to $1.32tt in total residential mortgage fundings for 2010.That is down 33% from 2009's $1.9tt and down 54% from their original 2009 projection of $2.8tt a short year ago. Point being, with trading volume/prop weak and continued deterioration in mortgage earnings, this sector has moved too far and unless this tail risk (global underweight) is factually being removed than this is a good entry to sell strength with Citigroup supply immanent. I like the BKX April 50 puts for .85 as analysts stop being so unusually quiet into quarter end.

The risk that LB has been watching and waiting for is a breakout to the upside by the USD. A move up towards 83 would definitely have an impact. Metals and miners have not been making new highs, and that's the group LB has been waiting to short. First up off the bottom, first down. The pre-expiration pump n dump is over, at least the pumping part.

Here's where I come out. The level of monetary infusion is huge globally. While the US is likely to raise rates I'm not sure that would be taken as a negative by the markets as it also underlies a "stronger" economy.
The ECB and the Japanese are going to add more liquidity or keep rates down for a much longer time.
In sum enjoy the rally.

Our career opportunities are updated several times each day, so be sure to check back often for new postings.
Step 1: Profile & Application
Through our careers site, you can review job opportunities, then create a new user account or login with an existing account and apply. Remember that you must meet the minimum qualifications listed on the job description to be considered. Once you apply for an open position, be sure to monitor your email box closely for communications from our Talent Acquisition team. You can log into the career portal any time to check the status of your application and/or to update your profile or add/update information (i.e., resume, certifications, etc.). To do so, go to our careers site and follow the link to log back into the career portal with the username and password you previously established.
Step 2: Candidate Review & Screening
Talent Acquisition will review your application to determine whether your background and experience are a good match for the position(s) for which you've applied. If so, you will be contacted via telephone and/or email to discuss your application and potential next steps including, for example, a phone or in-person interview. If you're not selected, you will receive an email indicating such.
Step 3: Interview
The interview process may include a mix of telephone, in-person and/or video methods. Typically, phone interviews help our recruiters narrow down the field of candidates by discussing qualifications and other details that may help to differentiate you from other applicants. If you remain a strong candidate for the position, the next step would be to schedule an interview between you and the hiring manager, and possibly others. If you are selected for an in-person interview, you will be instructed on where to go or what to do. If you are an internal candidate and you are selected to interview, at this point your current manager will be notified by our Talent Acquisition team for awareness purposes only.
Step 4: Offer of Employment & Hire
After careful review and consideration of all applicants, a hiring decision will be made. If you are selected, you will be contacted by your Recruiter with a contingent offer. Your contingent offer will include details such as pay, full- or part-time status, work location, hiring manager, etc. You must electronically accept the contingent offer to move forward in the process. Once you accept, you will receive information on where to go to complete your health screening and how to electronically submit needed information and documentation. Your contingent offer based upon your successful completion of Piedmont's verification process, which includes a background check, professional reference check and pre-employment health screening (including a drug and TB skin test), as well as proof of your eligibility to work in the United States. Upon successful completion of the verification process, you will be officially hired. If you are not selected for the position, you will receive a phone and/or email notification.

Medieval St. Andrew's Church, deconsecrated and fallen into ruin, has been resurrected as the Dublin home of Fáilte Ireland (the tourism board), and provides the most complete information on Dublin's sights, restaurants, and hotels; you can even rent a car and book theater tickets here. The office has reservations facilities for all Dublin hotels, as well as guided tours, a plethora of brochures, a gift shop, and even a pleasant café.

Angry Birds Space blasts off for iOS, Android, PC and Mac
Rovio, the developer of Angry Birds, has finally launched a worthy sequel. Angry Birds Space reinvigorates the franchise because it's far more than just firing birds from a catapult to take out some green pigs.
Hoping to knock overnight sensation Draw Something off the top of the app charts, the new title introduces a fresh gameplay idea, adding the concept of gravity to make it even more challenging.
"The number one mobile game of all time blasts off into space! After a giant claw kidnaps their eggs, the Angry Birds chase it into a wormhole and find themselves floating in a strange new galaxy – surrounded by space pigs!" reads the blurb on iTunes.
Rovio is promising regular free updates, new in-app purchases, brand new birds, brand new superpowers and 60 levels.
Like the Mighty Eagle in the original game, users of Angry Birds Space will be able to access the Space Eagle that has the ability to open a wormhole of destruction.
The new game is available on iOS, Android, Amazon, PC and Mac. Windows Phone 7 users will miss out however, as there is no WP7 version at the moment.
Also likely to cause a stir is that iPad and iPhone users will have to buy the game twice as Rovio has opted for separate versions of the new game for the two different devices. The iPad version costs £1.99 compared to the iPhone's 69p offering.
iPhone - 69p
iPad (in HD) - £1.99
Google Play - Free
PC - 5.95 Euros
Mac App Store - £2.99
