text: A research on perception of pitch 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data I've been working on a project. It's regarding the human perception of sound. I basically tested around 100 human subjects and made a report of it. The data of 60 individuals is in "google_science_fair..zip" attached with the post. Here's what I exactly did as part of the test. Step 1) I asked them to listen to 10 sounds (tones actually). Each tone had a number assigned. The ten tones are of 1.)100 Hz 2.)150 Hz 3.)200 Hz 4.)300 Hz 5.)400 Hz 6.)450 Hz 7.)500 Hz 8.)550 Hz 9) 650 Hz 10)700 Hz (You can find all the sounds in an attachment called "named.zip") Step 2) After this I took a test of them. They were made to listen to 5 sounds and they were supposed to identify what Sound number is being played. The participants were clearly told that it doesn't matter how accurate they are. The motive was to associate a higher number for sounds of higher frequency. Step 3) I also asked their age after this to note down. Now for every test of 5 sounds I conducted on any individual, the First sound and the Third sound were always same (500 Hz), however the subjects always gave a different rating to the two sounds. And the difference in the rating seemed to depend on the 2nd sound. Apart from this a consistent observation is also that for some reason participants tend to rate a larger number to 300 Hz sound than to a 500 Hz. Even after being very clear that a higher frequency sound means a larger number, the 300 Hz sound seemed to some as higher pitched sound than the 500 Hz sound. Why did this happen? And is there any other conclusion that could be made from the data? Please analyze the data carefully. I've worked hard for this. 2. Relevant equations No equations involved. 3. The attempt at a solution My two conclusions 1.) Even if two sounds of same frequency are played with another sound in between, subjects may perceive it differently depending on the sound played in between. 2.) Sometimes an subjects fail to identify if the pitch has increased or not. there seems to be some relation of this with regard to what sounds they're accompanied with. Anything I'm missing? Any suggestions would be accepted. Also, I'd love to be told where I went wrong.

Physical therapists provide tips to runners for minimizing risk of injury.
Download in Adobe PDF
Alexandria, VA, April 21, 2010 — Each day millions of Americans run for fun, sport, and fitness. While running is a great form of physical activity, it can be hard on the lower extremities, especially the feet. During April's Foot Health Awareness Month, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is educating runners about the importance of proper foot health and a physical therapist's role in preventing and treating foot injuries that may result from running.
The impact forces during running can be 2-3 times one's bodyweight, making the feet particularly vulnerable to injury. Healthy feet are a runner's best friend and understanding a running injury is a key to effective treatment. As experts in restoring and improving motion in people's lives, physical therapists can provide an examination of a runner's feet and an analysis of individual running mechanics to determine the cause of pain. Tests also may include an analysis of, strength, range of motion, sensation, and circulation.
"Once a cause is determined, a physical therapist will design an individualized course of treatment to address the cause of the problem. This treatment plan may include exercises for flexibility, stability, balance, strength, and joint range of motion," said APTA spokesperson Christopher Powers, PT, PhD.
Often, improper footwear can contribute to the problem. In these cases, a physical therapist may recommend specific types of shoes based on the individual needs of a runner. For example, runners with stiff feet and high arches may need more cushion in their shoes, while those with very flexible feet and low arches usually need a stiffer shoe with more support and control. For individuals with more complex problems, physical therapists may prescribe custom or over-the-counter orthotics.
Physical therapists also play an important role in helping runners prevent injuries. APTA suggests the following tips for all runners:
Physical therapists are experts in restoring and improving motion in people's lives. In many cases, they can treat pain without surgery and reduce the need for long term use of medications and their side effects. For more information on how physical therapists help runners keep their feet healthy and avoid serious problems please visit www.moveforwardpt.com.
In most states, you can access a physical therapist directly. To find one in your area please visit www.moveforwardpt.com/findapt.

Drizzle: Cooperative Symbol-Level Network Coding in Multi-Channel Wireless Networks
Errors are inherently present in unreliable wireless channels. The primary challenge in designing error control protocols in the MAC or physical layer is to effectively maximize achievable throughput in wireless networks even when unpredictable and time-varying errors exist. Network coding has been successfully applied to improve throughput in IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks with a shared broadcast channel. In state-of-the-art physical layer designs in multi-channel wireless networks (such as IEEE 802.16 WiMAX), however, the convenience of a shared wireless broadcast channel to perform opportunistic listening no longer exists, and Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) is the predominant error control protocol in the physical layer, rather than plain ARQ in IEEE 802.11 MAC.

Respond to Review of Bonita Cafe and Social Club
by Meela
Review: I visited Bonita for the first time on 30 June 2012. First, the drinks are completely vegan and delicious. It tasted so good, I totally forgot that it was both low-cal and good for me! I also had the Japanese curry. Delicious! The owner is super responsive to requests, and they were more than happy to substitute the rice with vegan whole grain bread. I had a wonderful conversation with the owner and her husband, and it was clear that they not only want a place where people eat healthy, but they want to create a safe supportive space where we can all come together and care for each other. And they WANT feedback (for example, I asked for them to have GABA rice, and they were super excited about trying to include that in the near future). Just wonderful filling food at a great price with caring people. I can't recommend this place enough!

I am working with Matlab R2011a. I want to set a path at c:\matlab (say). But it seems that the path setting is not saved and I need to reset the path every time I start Matlab. Please advise.

If you want to start Matlab in a specific path without having that path added to your search path, you have two options:
1) Create a file
2) Right-click onto the Matlab icon you normally use to start up the program, and in the properties, write
Make sure that you have access to all matlab files. I had the same problem, but when I gave myself full control of the C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2012b folder (and all it's subfiles and folders) I no longer had this problem.
To do this, right click on the R2012b folder (or whichever version you have), and open properties.
Under the security tab, look for your username in the list. If it's not there, click "Edit..." and "Add..." your name. Then click the full control in the allow column. You may need an admin password for this.
Click "ok", "ok" (it may take a couple of minutes). Set the path again, close Matlab, reopen, and test if your setpath settings are still there.

2002 Honda CRV • 4 cylinder 4WD Manual • 210,000 miles
I have a 2002 Honda CRV that is overheating. I recently had the engine swapped and the mechanic that did the replacement did not do a good job. When I picked up the car from the mechanic I noticed that the CRV engine took a long time to warm up. I had a feeling that the thermostat was bad so I replaced it this morning. As I took out the old thermostat I noticed that the spring assembly was not on the old thermostat. So I replaced it with a new Honda thermostat. Now after seven minutes of running the engine the car over heats. I also noticed that the water in the radiator is not hot. Not even warm. Also I know that I have to replace the OUTLET WATER assembly. This assembly is bleeding air when the engine is on. Could this be the cause of the overheating?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Test the new thermostat just to see that it is working, new also fail! Ensure that all air is bled from system, you may just have an air lock under the thermostat, does the new thermostat have a bleed valve?
Thank you you for a quick response. I will remove the thermostat. Please advise me as to the best way to test the Thermostat? I don't believe there is a bleed valve under the thermostat. I do appreciate you response and look forward to your help. Thank you.

Tie a piece of string to the thermostat and place in a pot on the stove at the water start to heat up before boiling the thermostat should open up, if faulty fit a new thermostat and look for a brand that has a bleed hole this will help remove any air trapped behind the thermostat.
Wanted to say thank you. You were correct. There was air in the radiator. I had to fill the radiator three more times and now the CRV is working normally. Thank you

Arkansas quarterback visits
Allie Davison
Talk about it in The Main Board
"It went great," Jabe Burgess said. "We got to tour the facilities. We got to meet some of the coaches. I was already familiar with Coach Horton and Coach Malzahn. Just got to talk with them a little bit. It was a great time."
"We were just talking about the offense philosophy and what Auburn has to offer me and just kind of where we are moving forward," Burgess said.
"They want to see me throw a couple more times before they commit to me and I commit to them. They are going to come watch me at spring practice and I'm going to try to get out to camp sometime this summer. Just keep building this relationships with these coaches."
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Burgess started for Greenwood High School his junior season and led them to a 14-0 season throwing for more than 3,000-yards with a 74 percent passing rate. Making a transition from high school to an offense like Auburn would be a smooth transition he said.
"That's what I was talking to Coach Lashlee about that. Something easy for me to just move into this kind of offense. It was basically the same kind of offense he ran in high school that they are running here and that I run in high school so I was really excited to hear about that."
The Arkansas native owns offers from Tulsa and Illinois, but has seen interest levels start to pick-up with other universities as of late. He has met with the Bret Bielema's staff at Arkansas and mentioned that a few other Southeastern Conference schools like Alabama have contacted him. He plans to visit Ole Miss and Oklahoma State this summer.
If all goes as planned, Burgess would like to commit to a school before the beginning of his senior season, but says that he doesn't want to rush anything and will continue to do research on which offense fits him best.

Maipokhari is a small star-shaped lake (1.6 hectar) located in Sulubung VDC, 11 km from Ilam Bazaar and at 7200 ft altitude. This is a beautiful spot surrounded by very nice forests protected by religious belief and a smallish temple complex. The Maipokhari Lake has religious significance and is a site of pilgrimage during Kartik Ekadasi and a big mela once a year on the day of the Thulo Ekadasi.
Close to Maipokhari is the 3400-metre peak Chhintapu, separating the Singalila Range and the Mahabharat Range. Nice to visit for a view around and a sunset stop on the \weay back at Kothidanda. Beautiful rhododendron forests up here.

Sandakpur viewpoint
Sandakpur lies at the northern edge of Ilam District, and is Illam's highest point at 3636 meters. Sandakpur provides a fantastic view of the eastern Himalayas from Bhutan to Everest. But the main view of Kanchenjuga is what takes your breath away.
Sandakpur straddles the border between Nepal and India and is a bit of extraterritorial area. You can visit from both the Indian and Nepalese side, with the visa from the country com arrive from. Due to maoist conflict, it is probably best now to arrive from the West Bengal side/Darjeeling. A very beautiful approach whichever way is chosen. There is a rough road from India via Mane Bhanyang. From the Indian side there is a trekking route north along the border, and dropping back down to the valleys after reaching Sandakpur. From the Nepal side there is a road to Khorsanitar from Ilam (21 km), and from there you have a few hours walk.

History of ethnicity and settlement of Ilam
Ilam was the district of Nepal - apart from Mustang - that remained independent, or rather unoccupied by the forces of Gorkha that formed Nepal into a single kingdom toward the end of the 18th century.
The dominant political and economic group at that time was the Limbu people. In the east there were the Kiranti kingdoms of the Rai and limbus, with their own separate languages and literature. Alongside were other, less numerical groups such as Sherpa, Rai and Lepcha - and others, too. There was a steady trickle of immigrants to the hills from the Terai lowlands, but that really shot speed as Ilam became integrated in the Nepalese nation state. The state set up a bureacucracy staffed by cheetri and brahmin people who in turn created favorable conditions for settled private agriculture and as last century came to and end, Ilam was more of a brahmin district than a Limbu one. Historically, the now minority groups have felt squeezed out of their land, but this feeling doesn't seem to linger as a political force anylonger. Apart from the occupational socalled low cast people, the real minority in Ilam today are the Lepcha, a people of Tibeto-Mongolian stock who also had their core areas and ancient kingdom here in Ilam. Remains of a Lepcha castle is situated on top of a pyramidical tree covered peak south of the ridge from Fikkal as it dips toward Maikhola. Nowadays, a mere 2500 Lepchas remain in Ilam, centered on Fikkal bazaar.
This history of Ilam is worth putting a thought into as you travel the eastern hills and watch people going about their lives.

Ilam tea
Ilam District (along with Jhapa and a few other eastern Nepal places) is a major tea producer. The tea quality here is just as good as Darjeeling's across the border to India. In fact, much tea is carried across the border and added to Darjeeling's production of "Darjeeling Tea".
You will pass tea gardens and see tea pluckers on your way by road, and around Ilam Bazaar.
The best tea is probably not available in Ilam, but in Kathmandu. The big tea houses have their offices and outlets in Kathmandu. Look for Ilam's orange pekoes, Ilam - especially Kanyam's first flushes and others if you wish to bring home a tasty and home-grown souvenir.

Mai Beni river confluence
Mai Beni site is where the rivers Maikhola and Jog Maikhola meet, and it is a major site of pilgrimage, with thousands of pilgrims and devotees converging here once a year. In fequent use, the temple and site is worth a visit most days with local religious activities going on. A bit upstream in the Jog Mai river there is a nice pool for swimming, exactly at the location of the trail crossing up to Namsaling.

Kanyam tea
The best teas in Nepal come from the Kanyam area. Most of the tea fields here are owned by the Kanyam Tea Estate, on private lease from the government.
The tea fields are a popular picninc spot, scenic as it is. You are able to look into India toward Darjeeling. Unfortunately, but good for the tea, there is frequently a very cool and clammy fog here.

Cardamom fields
The darker side of Ilam? Perhaps not, but in the shadowy, soggy side valleys and foggy slopes of Ilam's huge hills the cardamom is a major cash crop. Under tree cover normally, you will find huge amount of these leaves (photo). Underneath are knobbly scaly roots, that are dried and sold to middlemen and exported to India for the most part. A smoking house in Ilam is most often the sign that moneymaking cardamom -drying is on the way. Go, take a look!

Socialize with the locals, Play Basketball, Hike
I know things have changed a lot and for good in the last nine years, I used to go to Illam during the festival, I would end up going to a 4 1/2 hour Hike to Mai Pokhari, its a beautiful nine cornered lake, along the way, there are plenty of small liquor places ( bhatti, to be more precise), try those home made liquor, it always a nice hike with some kinda buzz.
And, there will be plenty of places to maintain your buzz along this 4 hour hike. I reminisce, the holy Mai Pokhari open to some kind of boating or some kinda of Canoe, I am not so sure though.
Don't forget to check out those Orchid Trees around the outside of the lake.
Sandakpur will definitely be on my bucketlist if I go back there, its about 3000 Meter High, Google Sandakphu, I am not sure about the exact elevation. This place is definitely for a little Hardcore Trekkers. It's a 24 hr trek amidst Wild, may be not quite as thrilling as the Annapurna Circuit but you will be surprised.
If you are big into watching Sunrise and Sunset, Sandakphu is the place to be. I would also recommend Sri Antu Hill, you will see a beautiful Vibrant Sunset. This place should be a little less than 5 hours to hike.
Ilam, rightfully is called Tea Town and you will figure that out as soon as you grace this beautiful place. Kanyam, is the biggest and by far the most scenic tea Estate which you will catch glimpse of, as you head North to the main town, the Pine Trees, the misty weather, those small tea places, enhances the serenity of this place.
The other tea Estate is the one that surrounds the town, as soon as you step out of your bus, just turn around, you will not miss the tea Estate.
Ilam has Super friendly people, lets put it this way, if you think Nepalese are friendly, people from Ilam are angels then. You can flag anyone down, ask for information even hangout. Acknowledge with a smile, try stoping younger people as most of them speak fluent English.
Most youth in Ilam play Basketball and Soccer, I don't think there is a lot as far as Nightlife is concerned! Everything should shut down by 8 PM. I heard they will have an airport soon. Another thing to do is to go Fishing down in Mai Khola, some 5 miles away. Don't expect to catch a big Grouper or a Tuna here but hey you are not required a Fishing License, you get what you pay for.
Places to stay is Greenview hotel, however, I am sure many have popped up in recent times. Don't forget to hangout with the youths, who knows, they might invite you to go on a trek to Mt Kanchanjunga, the third highest mountain the the world.
Don't hesitate to ask me any questions via this portal. I still know a lotta locals there and I can help you find someone who can lookout for you.

|It has been suggested that Cellular fibroadenoma be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2015.
Histopathologic image of breast fibroadenoma. Core needle biopsy. Hematoxylin & eosin stain.
|Classification and external resources
Fibroadenomas of the breast are noncancerous tumors composed of fibrous and glandular tissue. Because both fibroadenomas and breast cancer can appear as similar lumps, doctors may recommend an ultrasound and possibly a tissue sample (biopsy) to rule out cancer in some patients. Unlike typical lumps from breast cancer, fibroadenomas are easy to move, with clearly defined edges.[1][2]
Fibroadenomas are sometimes called breast mice or a breast mouse owing to their high mobility in the breast.[3]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
The typical case is the presence of a painless, firm, solitary, mobile, slowly growing lump in the breast of a woman of child-bearing years.[2][4][5]
In the male breast, fibroepithelial tumors are very rare, and are mostly phyllodes tumors. Exceptionally rare case reports exist of fibroadenomas in the male breast, however these cases may be associated with antiandrogen treatment.[6]
Fibroadenomas are partially hormone-dependent and frequently regress after menopause.
Higher intake of fruits and vegetables, higher number of live births, use of oral contraceptives and moderate exercise are associated with lower frequency of fibroadenomas.[7]
Fibroadenomas arise in the terminal duct lobular unit of the breast.[citation needed] They are hypovascular compared to typical (especially malignant) neoplasms.[2][5][8]
The diagnostic findings on needle biopsy consist of abundant stromal cells, which appear as bare bipolar nuclei, throughout the aspirate; sheets of fairly uniform-size epithelial cells that are typically arranged in either an antler-like pattern or a honeycomb pattern. These epithelial sheets tend to show typical metachromatic blue staining on DiffQuick staining. Foam cells and apocrine cells may also be seen, although these are less diagnostic features.[4][8] The gallery images below demonstrate these features.
Approximately ninety percent of fibroadenomas are less than three centimetres in diameter. The vast majority of the remaining ten percent that are four centimetres or larger occur mostly in women under twenty years of age. The tumor is round or ovoid, elastic, and nodular, and has a smooth surface. The cut surface usually appears homogenous and firm, and is grey-white or tan in colour. The pericanalicular type (hard) has a whorly appearance with a complete capsule, while the intracanalicular type (soft) has an incomplete capsule.[8]
Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor composed of two elements : epithelium and stroma.
It is nodular and encapsulated, included in breast.
The epithelial proliferation appears in a single terminal ductal unit and describes duct-like spaces surrounded by a fibroblastic stroma.
Depending on the proportion and the relationship between these two components, there are two main histological features-
~ intracanalicular ~ pericanalicular.
Often, both types are found in the same tumor.
A) Intracanalicular fibroadenoma : stromal proliferation predominates and compresses the ducts, which are irregular, reduced to slits.
B) Pericanalicular fibroadenoma : fibrous stroma proliferates around the ductal spaces, so that they remain round or oval, on cross section.
The basement membrane is intact [9] The gallery image below demonstrates both morphological subtypes.
A fibroadenoma is usually diagnosed through clinical examination, ultrasound or mammography, and often a needle biopsy sample of the lump.[4]
Fibroadenoma, Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (Giemsa or DiffQuickTM stain). The image shows abundant bare bipolar stromal nuclei surrounding sheets of metachromatic epithelial cells.
Histopathologic image of breast fibroadenoma showing proliferation of intralobular stroma compressing and distorting the epithelium. H&E stain.
Most fibroadenomas are left in situ and monitored by a doctor, or the patient in question. Some are treated by surgical excision. They are removed with a small margin of normal breast tissue if the preoperative clinical investigations are suggestive of the diagnosis. A small amount of normal tissue must be removed in case the lesion turns out to be a phyllodes tumour on microscopic examination.[8][10]
Because needle biopsy is often a reliable diagnostic investigation, some doctors may decide not to operate to remove the lesion, and instead opt for clinical follow-up to observe the lesion over time using clinical examination and mammography to determine the rate of growth, if any, of the lesion. A growth rate of less than sixteen percent per month in women under fifty years of age, and a growth rate of less than thirteen percent per month in women over fifty years of age have been published as safe growth rates for continued non-operative treatment and clinical observation.[11]
Some fibroadenomas respond to treatment with ormeloxifene.[12]
Fibroadenomas have not been shown to recur following complete excision or transform into phyllodes tumours following partial or incomplete excision.[8]
There are also natural treatments being touted to diminish fibroadenomas, such as Fibrosolve, but no definite studies have been made as to prove their effectiveness.
The FDA has approved cryoablation of a fibroadenoma as a safe, effective and minimally-invasive alternative to open surgical removal in 2001.[13] In the procedure, ultrasound imaging is used to guide a probe into the mass of breast tissue. Extremely cold temperatures are then used to destroy the abnormal cells,[14] and over time the cells are reabsorbed into the body. The procedure can be performed in an office setting with local anesthesia only, and leaves substantially less scarring than open surgical procedures and no breast tissue deformation.[14]
The American Society of Breast Surgeons recommends the following criteria to establish a patient as a candidate for cryoablation of a fibroadenoma:[13]
- The lesion must be sonographically visible.
- The diagnosis of fibroadenoma must be confirmed histologically.
- Lesions should be less than 4 cm in diameter.
This method is non-invasive and relies on tissue heating to destroy fibroadenoma cells. Focused ultrasounds have been used to treat other benign tumors, such as fibroid disease in the uterus.[15]
They are the most common breast tumor in adolescent women. They also occur in a small number of post-menopausal women. Their incidence declines with increasing age, and, in general, they appear before the age of thirty years.

HealthSpring set to add thousands to Medicare rolls
HealthSpring will in 2013 expand its Medicare offerings in another 37 counties across a region that stretches from Texas to New Jersey, but mostly — 30 counties to be exact — in the Volunteer State.
"This is all part of our corporate growth strategy, although this year's county expansion was quite a bit more than last year," said Graham Harrison of HealthSpring, which has been owned by Cigna since early this year.
Beyond greater coverage for seniors, the good news for other folks in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Florida, New Jersey and West Virginia is jobs. And if last year is any barometer — when HealthSpring hired on average one person every day from August to May — the jobs outlook in the selected counties in these states is, if nothing else, brighter than it otherwise would have been.
"The jobs aspect of this expansion is absolutely part of what this is all about," Harrison said, adding that, although the exact number of jobs isn't known, the news is still positive, especially for the 30 Tennessee counties.
Beginning today and running through Dec. 7, HealthSpring customers can enroll in the 2013 plans. HealthSpring's expansion has been approved by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services officials, meaning company execs convinced the regulators that a sufficient number of contracts with hospitals and doctors are in place to properly serve the counties' populations.
It isn't clear how many Medicare beneficiaries will be added to the HealthSpring rolls because of this multi-county expansion. But, as 10,000 folks become Medicare eligible every day, it's safe to say thousands will more than likely become HealthSpring customers as a result of this strategy. HealthSpring now has more than 1 million members on its rolls.

Nearly every (relatively) new book about c programming I've seen doesn't seem to adhere to the C99 standard, or they cover it in an extra chapter. Comming from a Java background, the C99 standard made the migration (well, still migrating ^^) much easier for me, and this probably applies to other languages, too.
It seems like C99 hasn't reached most of the C developers yet. But why?

Clipper yachts hauled out at Fremantle SC
The Prize giving for Race 4 of the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race took place on Saturday evening at special ceremony laid on by Fremantle Sailing Club. Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and John Longley joined the Clipper crews, their friends and families, and invited VIP guests for an evening of presentations.
CEO of Fremantle Chamber of Commerce and legendary America's Cup veteran John Longley hosted the ceremony which saw the top three teams, Durban 2010 and Beyond, westernaustralia2011.com and Qingdao, receive their pennants for first second and third respectively in Race 4 of Clipper 07-08 from Durban to Fremantle.
Fremantle Sailing Club Commadore Garry Webb congratulated the teams and spoke of his wish to see the Clipper Race return to the club. 'The Clipper Race is a very special event for us, 'said Mr Webb. 'It has happened every other year for the past couple of years and we're looking forward to it happening again.'
Fremantle is the only Australian port on the Clipper Race and consequently the biggest cheer of the evening went to the home port team, westernaustralia2011.com as they came on stage to collect their pennant. Amongst the crew was ex-Fremantle Dockers player James Walker who said the race was an amazing experience and that he liked to think he had contributed to westernaustralia2011.com's podium position.
David Van Ooran, Executive Director of EventsCorp, the sponsors of westernaustralia2011.com, acknowledged the achievement of all the teams participating in the race. 'No words can sum up the enormity of the challenge,' said Mr Van Ooran. 'I can't speak from experience but this leg has to be potentially the most challenging leg of any sailing race around the world.
'Western Australians have a natural affinity with the ocean, it's a part of our lifestyle. It is one of our key iconic attractions it's something thatwe use to promote the state around the world, hence our support for this sailing event.'
Joining the invited guests at the ceremony was the Mayor of Fremantle Peter Tagliaferri who was invited on stage to sign a petition calling for the abolishment of modern day slavery. The Wilberforce Petition is being carried around the world onboard Hull & Humber by the ONE HULL Tag Team, a specially selected group of young people from Hull. The initiative was set up in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the abolishment of slavery in the UK, a campaign led by Hull MP William Wilberforce.
Other awards presented during the ceremony included some light-hearted awards such as the 'Windex Award', which was presented to Jamaica for sailing the entire race across the southern ocean without their wind instruments.
Liverpool crew celebrate arrival - Clipper 07-08 Race
Crew member David Brown from Qingdao was presented with the 'Golden Trowel Award'.
A professional sign painter when he's not on the Clipper Race, the award was created to acknowledge the commitment David has given to hand painting the anti-foul on the entire fleet without the need for masking tape.
Media prizes were also presented in conjunction with Henri-Lloyd, the official clothing sponsors of the Clipper 07-08 Race. Set up to recognise the high standard of photographs and video footage being captured on the race, the media competition awards prizes to the teams that have captured the best image of shot the best footage on each leg of the race. The prizes for the Southern Ocean leg were awarded to:
westernaustralia2011.com – Photography prize runner-up
Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper – Photography prize winner
Hull & Humber - Video prize runner-up
Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper – Video prize winner
With the majority of the fleet back in the water following a routine service to their hulls the ten teams are spending the immediate Christmas period checking out the delights that Western Australia has on offer. Many have chosen to spend Christmas day on the beach with a ubiquitous Aussie Barbie, whilst others are heading out of Fremantle to sample other areas such as the Swan Valley and Margaret River.
The Clipper Race will restart at 1400 on 1 January and the public are invited to attend with excellent vantage points at Fremantle's Victoria Quay and long Perth's city beaches.

It was posted to them last week - but police got the address wrong, the Sunday Mirror reports.
They realized their mistake when an unrelated member of the public handed the papers in to a London police station on Friday.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard told the BBC:
"Police were informed that material relating to a forthcoming inquest may have been delivered to an incorrect address.
"Inquiries are now under way to establish the full circumstances of this matter."
Winehouse was found dead in her home in London in July.
An inquest into her death will begin this week. The cause of death remains unclear, says the NME; no illegal substances were found in her bloodstream, but her father has suggested that she may have overdosed on anti-anxiety drugs while attempting to detox from alcohol.

Seducing Charlie Barker
- Studio: ARC Entertainment (II)
- Release Date: Dec 9, 2011
- Summary: Seducing Charlie Barker is a dark satire of the Manhattan entertainment industry in which a gifted actor, Charlie Barker, begins his fall from grace as he encounters a chameleon-like social climber. (Arc Entertainment II)
- Director: Amy Glazer
- Genre(s): Comedy
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 5
Mixed: 2 out of 5
Negative: 1 out of 5
Seducing Charlie Barker is a movie made by people who haven't been making movies, but should be. As in, often. As in, from now on.
The storyline is hardly original, but it does provide the opportunity for Rebeck to unleash wickedly scathing observations about the sort of self-obsessed show business types who pursue their own interests no matter who it hurts.
In adapting her recent play The Scene, Theresa Rebeck can't find a consistent tone for her material or players.
An intermittently interesting but fatally clichéd comedy of personal and professional suicide.
Charlie is a stereotype who doesn't know it--basically your typical broke dude in a near midlife crisis who thinks he's the first to have his dull problems.

This image was taken on a very windy Wednesday evening.
The view is from a place called Crabart - which are the rocks leading to Worms Head on The Gower Penninsular.
I liked the delicate highlighting to the foreground rocks from the last light that day and also the rockpool on the left hand side.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I bought a Black MarEcko pant from Century21 in Downtown New York in Mid July 2015, after first dry cleaning, The material shrank and now it won't fit me. I own the Dry Cleaners in NJ. I am really disappointed. It never happened before when i bought MarcEcko clothes. Please help in this matter. ThanksKamlesh Patel908-400-0387.
I have a Marc ecko watch that I need extra links for. I was wondering if you sell the extra links or I have to have a jeweler get them. Thanks.
This is a shame you want your merchandise to sell, but if a customer need a question answer like what is a ten XL OR 28 LARGERegular size.
To whom it May concern: . My mother & I went Christmas shopping today,12/19/2014, at one of your Ecko stores in Houston,Tx. (Store #858) & we had a HORRIFIC experience @ your store!! The employees there, as well as the so-called MANAGER, were very, very rude, unprofessional, racist, argumentive, and disrespectful!!! Never in my life have I ever been to any place where I have been treated so terrible nor in such manner!! Being a customer, I would think that any employee or any store personnel for that matter, should treat their customers right or atleast in a proper manner, but that wasn't the case at all at your store!! I'm not sure if at your store they're trained to discriminate or just treat different people differently, but it's horrendous to walk into any store, spend money there & get treated & talked to like crap!! It was very embarrassing & humiliating to have an employee moreso a crappy manager talk to me & treat me so badly!!
I need one clip of the watch with model number E16507G1.
I bought a pair of your sneakers from Macys and they are literally falling apart. They are lightly worn as you can see from the photos. I would like to send you.
I bought a shirt ten days ago in Las Vegas Nevada 3510 s Maryland shirt was Steiner so I came back to the store from my house the to I got another one. They didn't forgot take off the security bottom so came back to the store. For 3rd time they were trying to take off that. After many times, they can do and back to my home, but know I am seeing oh no they ripped it looks like the guys topped my shirt and they knew very angry.

An alcoholic yogurt liqueur, a bitter apéritif made from artichokes... how about a concoction featuring wood chips steeped in liquor that is touted as "Dominican Viagra"? It would be difficult to hear about such spirits and not wonder whether the world of bizarre booze is spiraling out of control.
Of course, some of the aforementioned spirits, like the vegetal Cynar, for example, are not new to the scene. Still, that its place behind the contemporary bar probably wouldn't surprise many is certainly worth noting. And beyond the comeback of retro-bizarre spirits, with modern mixologists slinging everything-but-the-kitchen-sink cocktails at top bars in the U.S., the hunt for the next hot trend in liquor has created some frankly unique creations. Such is the case with Root, an all-organic, botanical-loaded spirit with a storied past that has recently made a splash in the New York City bar scene.
Not too long ago, it seems, the prevalence of shock value-spirits was significantly less. Imbibers had relatively few choices on cocktail menus -- drink lists were streamlined, and standard: think gin and tonics, tropical takes on rum-based drinks like the piña colada, and combinations of vodka and fruit juice. Nowadays, though you likely won't find them on top bars' menus, when it comes to vodka, to say that some commercial brands have gone the way of the extreme -- with flavors like scorpion and smoked salmon -- would be a bit of an understatement.

Forget steaming — why not try having your artichokes on the rocks? Named after the Latin for artichoke, Cynara scolymus, this bitter Italian apéritif is made from a blend of 13 herbs, and of course, the thorny thistle. For those who like the idea of a "spiked" artichoke, try Cynar the way the Swiss enjoy it, with orange juice; or in the French fashion, mixed with beer. Either way, drinking Cynar has got to count as getting your veggies... right? Related: A Beginner's Guide to Aperitifs Photo Credit: © Flickr/lisatozzi
Alcoholic yogurt? Yes, it does exist (and no, it is not endorsed by Jamie Lee Curtis). This creamy liqueur is produced in Holland (and bottled in France) but is quickly shipped off to Japan, where it is a popular mixer with citrus fruit juices (think pineapple and orange) for a spiked-smoothie type of libation. And while Yogurito is widely available in saké-style glass bottles in bars, restaurants, and chain supermarkets in Japan, 50ml bottles for auction can occasionally be found online. What do you think — the next breakfast of champions? Related: 8 Alcoholic Milkshakes Slide Show Photo Credit: © Tokyobaron.com
If there was a special "Booze for Badasses" award, Scorpion Vodka would have little competition. This libation is sure to scare the hell out of just about anyone. Ok, so the (Chinese, farm-raised) scorpion imparts a pleasant "soft, woody taste" to the pure grain vodka, and has allegedly undergone a three month "detoxification" process before ending up in your booze. But does that mean you should still drink a spirit with a stinger? Related: Making of a Signature Drink: Beecher's Grilled Cheese Martini Photo Credit: © Socialcider.com
Also known as 'Dominican Viagra,' this spirit is made from a manly mix of herbs, sticks, and wood (no pun intended), that are steeped in a mixture of wine, honey, and rum for a few weeks. The result is a highly potent Port-colored spirit touted for its aphrodisiacal qualities. The recipe itself is a closely guarded secret and can vary from town to town, but it is said to originate from the Taino Indians.

So you like smoking weed (not that anyone here is endorsing it). Still, why not drink it, then, too? In Holland, you can, and it's perfectly legal — especially if you stumble upon Kierewiet, served in many establishments in Amsterdam. Touted as a digestif, Kierewiet is really more like a cannabis cocktail, bearing a strong green color, a bold marijuana leaf on the label, and containing 14.5% alcohol.

Mmmm… smoked salmon. Such a delicious treat on a bagel with cream cheese. So who's the genius that decided to infuse vodka with the stuff? That credit belongs to spirits company, Alaska Distillery. Wondering what on earth can you possibly use Smoked Salmon Vodka for? Alaska Distillery says Oyster Shooters, but this would be one great gag gift.

Riddle me this: What alcohol is not rum or vodka, but is distilled from sugar cane and neutral grains? Purportedly, Root. Certified USDA-Organic, Root's recipe is a whirlwind of botanicals, including Birch bark, smoked black tea, wintergreen, cinnamon, and cardamom, and has quite a storied past. Allegedly, the recipe was Native American, passed down to colonial settlers and was served to Pennsylvania coal miners. It's difficult to get to the root of this weird spirit, but Root was made in an attempt to "recreate a pre-temperance alcoholic Root Tea". Whatever it is, at 80-proof, it's certainly got more of a kick than A&W. Drink Idea: Root Beer Sazerac Photo Credit: © Liquorama
We know, we know, just about everyone loves bacon. After seeing candied bacon, bacon ice cream, and even bacon toothpaste on the market, it (oddly) seems not all that surprising that bacon-flavored vodka should find its way onto shelves. The spirit is made from Idaho potatoes and column-distilled using a single heating process (that hopefully doesn't burn the bacon... we like ours crispy). As for the smoky, slightly spicy taste? "We wanted it to have the essence of a delicious crisp slice of peppered bacon," says Bakon Vodka's creators, Seattle-based Black Rock Spirits. And while the company recommends using Bakon Vodka in a Bloody Mary, we like it straight up for breakfast, served with a side of pancakes.

We like to think that if Mrs. Butterworth had a boyfriend, it would be Amaro Diesus del Frate. Yes, this bitter liqueur is bottled in a monk-shaped container (though strangely, the bottle lacks a head). A classic Italian aperitivo or digestivo created by monks, the bitter Diesus is made from a variety of aromatic herbs, including gentian, cinchona, and mountain thyme. Is there room on the market for a 'Priestly Pucker'? Related: 6 Innovative Herb Cocktails Slide Show Photo Credit: © Flickr/Like_the_Grand_Canyon
No, not that tuna. Rather, the pastel green-colored booze is distilled from 100% cactus pears. If you think that sounds dangerous to harvest, consider its not-so-sweet backstory. According to Aztec legend, Cópil, son of Coyolxauhqui, faced the fearsome god Huitzilopochtli in battle to avenge his mother's death. Long story short, Cópil's heart gets ripped out and is hurled toward Lake Texcoco. In the process, the land is moistened with blood, and this gives birth to the first nopal, or cactus. If that doesn't make you curious to try Cópil, we're not sure what will. Related: 36 Tequila Songs Photo Credit: © Casa del Tequila

The National Climatic Data Center in the Federal Building in downtown Asheville houses the world's largest archive of weather records. The NCDC's databases could become a gold mine for new businesses and academic centers under the Hub Project, an ambitious plan to develop a new economy based on existing assets.
What is the Hub Project?
A new economic and community development plan, first envisioned by consultant Dan Ray of the Institute of Biltmore and developed by a Community Collaboration Working Group in 2005-06.
What are the Clusters?
The plan focuses on seven clusters for economic growth.
Technology: Using the worlds largest environmental database to lure federal agencies and private companies to the area. Building out the broadband network for secure data storage.
Manufacturing: Preserve existing factories and target advanced and niche manufacturers.
Rejuvenation: Building on both traditional and alternative medicine to make Asheville as a center to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. Includes Eco-sport, tourism.
Enterprise: Encouraging entrepreneurs and small business.
Creativity: Creating a Digital Media Center to showcase multimedia artists, creating a design center to market handmade objects and arts and crafts.
Land-Agriculture: Protect viewsheds and existing farms. Encourage medicinal crops.
Branding: Developing Asheville as an international brand for tourism and local products.
ASHEVILLE — With growing consensus that the planet will be heating up in the next century, Ashevilles economic prospects could be heating up as well, with new businesses emerging to cope with climate change.
The climate is ours to lose. We want to strike while the iron is hot, said Janice Brumit, the incoming president of the Hub Project Cabinets executive committee.
The Hub Project has pulled together civic, academic, business and elected leaders to talk about how to develop Asheville and Buncombe Countys economy, building on the areas existing strengths and assets.
Rather than hunting for huge companies to relocate here with manufacturing jobs, Hub backers want to promote homegrown industries and jobs that arent likely to leave for cheaper labor overseas.
After about 2 1/2 years of discussion and study, the Hub Project is now at a crossroads, Brumit said. The project needs money and authority from local governments, and it needs a success.
The one that could propel us forward would be our climate initiative. Thats ours to gain or lose. Were in competition with Boulder, Colo., and Oklahoma and others who are going after huge federal agencies. But we have that type of industry and those kinds of databases right here, Brumit said.
Hub leaders are looking to the Asheville-based National Climatic Data Center to not only generate information but perhaps new industry for the area.
Building a new industry
The NCDC, the archiving agency of the National Climatic Data Center, has been quietly accumulating the worlds largest collection of weather records going back for more than a century.
All the data from radar stations and satellites orbiting the globe ultimately land in Asheville, piped in through lightning-fast fiber optic lines of the ERC Broadband network. The multimillion dollar Internet network matches the capacity of major metropolitan areas such as Atlanta or Washington.
And its not just data thats here, but the brainpower to interpret and analysis it. A number of the experts who contributed to the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports live and work in Asheville.
The first weather industries and academic centers have started showing up in Asheville to take advantage of the data and the expertise.
Alan Basist worked at NCDC for seven years until he decided to take a risk, taking his expertise into the private sector. In 2003, he launched Commodity Hedgers Inc., creating his own tools to analyze weather data. Using microwave sensors from satellites that can peer through cloud cover as well as other models, Commodity Hedgers estimates the moisture in the soil and delivers reports about agricultural production around the world.
Basists client list is confidential, but he says business has been growing. He sees potential for other weather-related companies here.
Asheville is primed for that. We have the largest archive in the world here, and there are all sorts of applications that business could come and glean and that consumers could benefit from, he said.
Baron Advanced Meteorological Systems relocated to Asheville in 2003, looking for closer access to the NCDCs live radar feeds to develop the weather forecast models it sells to TV weather stations nationwide.
The BAMS model correctly forecast the path of Hurricane Charley across central Florida in 2004 when the official government model got it wrong. The company also is working on flood forecasting tools for emergency and municipal planners.
With a third of the U.S. economy sensitive to changes in weather, accurately knowing the weather can save businesses and government money, said Greg Wilson, president of BAMS.
Close to the source
Being close to the weather data makes financial sense even in an age when the Internet makes the data available to anyone anywhere in the world with a computer.
Mining the massive databases takes incredible amounts of bandwidth, explained Louis Vasquez, the network architect at ERC Broadband, which provides the NCDC with its Internet pipeline to the outside world. It would pay some companies to be physically closer to those archives, rather than try to transport all the data they need to a distant city for analysis.
If youre at a hub, you can buy massive connectivity, Vasquez said. The broadband network has designed Asheville as a hub with ready access to Atlanta and Washington.
When you think of Asheville, you think of arts and crafts. Asheville is not on anyones map for technology, said John Stevens, director of the National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center at UNC Asheville.
That may be about to change with the Hub Project and the new concern about climate change, said Stevens, who also heads the Hubs technology cluster study group.
Besides the data, Asheville could become a magnet for the best minds in the climate world. Arts and science and technology could merge as digital artists help scientists create visualizations for the complex environmental changes.
That kind of collaboration has already brought another academic center to town with the Renaissance Computing Institute at UNC Asheville. Part of a statewide initiative to bring computer tools to the public sector, RENCI will work on developing 3-D visualizations to help emergency planners forecast the effects of future flooding in Western North Carolina, saving property and possibly lives.
While NCDC has the raw data, scientists dont have all the answers to the social implications of climate change. It will take a multidisciplinary approach, Stevens said.
Stevens said he could see international conferences coming to Asheville to capitalize on the climate data here. We have something special here. If were economically successful, we could attract federal state, and private dollars to launch a climate institute here.
But the Hubs ultimate success in building a new economy can be measured in old-fashioned jobs and better wages for everyone in Buncombe County, Brumit said.
We have to show how any of these projects will contribute to the quality of life here and how average citizens would benefit from the creation of these jobs, she said.

This week, Beyond the Data looks at one of the more well-grounded "rules of thumb" for understanding climate change: cooler "things" are warming more quickly than warmer things.
Coastal erosion has repeatedly damaged surfside bike paths and parking lots near Ventura, California. It took local groups with varying viewpoints more than a decade to agree upon a strategy, but the first phase of their solution is now complete.
Warmer-than-average waters in the tropical Pacific are expected to reach their peak soon. How has El Niño affected global weather so far this year?
When it comes to what causes climate to vary over seemingly short distances, few things can compare to the influence of topography. This week in Beyond the Data, Jake Crouch talks about how climate scientists account for topography in interpreting climate patterns and trends.
Thanks to an unusually cold winter in the Antarctic stratosphere, the 2015 ozone hole was larger than it has been in recent years.
For those who are still waiting for winter's first snow, Deke Arndt blogs about using historical climate data to ballpark when it might arrive.
With multiple sea surface temperature datasets come questions. What are they all for?
Scientists from NOAA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Environment Canada have issued a six-month forecast for water levels to be at or above average on Lake Superior, Michigan, Huron, and...
