Sixth Man Battle Could Determine Sixers-Mavs Winner
Marc Narducci, Staff WriterIt's just a hunch, but the team whose sixth man has the better game could prove to be the winner in Tuesday's matchup at the Wells Fargo Center between the 76ers and Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs Jason Terry is an explosive scorer. This year he is averaging 16 points, although Terry has started 10 games... Read more
Sixers Show Grit In Winning Fourth Straight
Marc Narducci, Staff WriterCLEVELAND - The 76ers won't receive too many style points for Sunday's 95-91 win in Cleveland against the Cavaliers, but afterwards everybody in the locker room made the same point.

Reaching .500 A Big Deal For Sixers
Marc Narducci, Staff WriterThe 76ers have reached the .500 mark but are looking for much more. There wasn't a lot of screaming and celebrating, but the 76ers to a man were certainly proud to reach the .500 level after Friday's 110-94 win over the visiting Detroit Pistons. It's been a long way to .500, especially after a 3-13... Read more

gatifloxacin-oral, Tequin (cont.)
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, usually once daily, or as directed by your doctor. The dosage and duration is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Drink plenty of fluids while using this drug unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Take this medication at least 4 hours before taking any drugs that contain magnesium or aluminum. Some examples include quinapril, certain forms of didanosine (chewable/dispersible buffered tablets or pediatric oral solution), vitamins/minerals, and antacids. Follow the same instructions if you also take bismuth subsalicylate, sucralfate, iron, and zinc. These medications bind with gatifloxacin and prevent its full absorption. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals (at the same time every day). Continue to take this medication until the full-prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection. Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: numbness/tingling/weakness of arms/legs, swelling of the ankles/hands/feet, uncontrolled movements (e.g., tremors), vision changes. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: easy bruising/bleeding, fast/irregular heartbeats, fainting, mental/mood changes (including depression, rare thoughts of suicide), new signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), persistent nausea/vomiting, yellowing of eyes or skin, seizures, change in the amount of urine. This drug may rarely cause tendon damage (e.g., tendon rupture). Seek immediate medical attention, rest, and stop exercising if you develop joint/muscle/tendon pain or swelling. This medication may cause changes in blood sugar, especially in patients taking medications for diabetes. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist about how to detect these changes and monitor your blood sugar regularly. Symptoms of high blood sugar include increased thirst and urination. Symptoms of low blood sugar include nervousness, shakiness, sweating, fast heartbeats, or hunger. Follow your doctor's instructions to treat your low blood sugar level (e.g., eat a quick source of sugar such as table sugar, honey, or candy; or drink a glass of orange juice or non-diet soda). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of high or low blood sugar while taking this medication. This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (pseudomembranous colitis) due to resistant bacteria. This condition may occur weeks after treatment has stopped. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medications if you have the following symptoms because these products may make them worse. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop: persistent diarrhea, stomach pain, blood/mucus in your stool. Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection (oral or vaginal fungal infection). Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge, or other new symptoms. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Charles Pic says a switch to 18-inch tyres in the future "will be a big challenge" after testing the concept for Pirelli
I think they look pretty good.
Looks doesn't make a F1 goes any faster and neither makes ir cheaper.
107SS2009: Looks doesn't make a F1 goes any faster and neither makes ir cheaper.
Difficult to see why they ran the car on these wheels/tyres without car redesign.Photo opportunity, or can they actually harvest valid data?
purely photo opportunity. as the current tyre inin effect the suspension of the modern f1 car, the new tyres would not take the car over the kerbs.
It'd be interesting to learn the expected advantages of running a lower profile tyre.Is it an expected performance gain? Is it to make the R&D put into an F1 tyre more transferable to other classes? Or is it just about making the show a bit better by closing some performance gaps?
The higher profile tyres do a fair bit of the work of the suspension, these lower profiles won't don nearly as much.When the drivers hit the kerbs with the high profile the tyre absorbs much of the impact and the chassis can remain stiff.With the lower profile tyres the suspension will have to do more work (raising costs?) and the car will be more unsettled, maybe making racing more exciting, who knows.
BJR The main reason is so that the tyer technology being produced for F1 is more useful and easily transfered to road cars, it was also one of the grounds for a mitchlin return to f1.
It actually makes them look like F1 cars again and not over sized Go Carts. Hopefully when the chassis is designed for the tyres we have far more reliance on mechanical grip rather than aerodynamic. That has to make the racing more interesting as the "bad air" problem we currently have, where a car can be much faster than the one in front but not be able to pass, will be minimised.
If they do reduce the importance of aero parts on the car I say bring them in ASAP! The less dependant the series is of aerodynamics the closer the racing will be. Plus it's not like manufacturers can use any of those parts on real world cars anyway... and since even your everyday VW Polo can be specced with 18" wheels, F1 might as well find a way to develop that type of tire further!

Great Book
posted 7 years ago
This is a great guide for anyone who birdwatches regularly in Ohio. It's nice because it isn't as confusing as a larger guide to birds, because this guide only focuses on birds in Ohio. I am an amateur bird watcher, and I found this guide easy to use and informative.
Pros: Nice pictures, good descriptions
Cons: None

I've been dying to try this based on the internet hoopla so I finally broke down and bought a small bottle of the parfum from an Amazon seller. I do not recommend buying perfume from an Amazon seller because I've been duped (on a Vera Wang rollerball of all things) but I digress. I used a bit of the parfum over the past few weeks and, although I really couldn't smell it on myself, I got several compliments. I finally decided to buy a big bottle. Yes, the price is off putting and yes, if you want this you will spend at least $50 but who cares if you like it. I shopped around and found an online site that sells full sized testers at a pretty good discount price (again, beware of buying testers as they can be fakes too - do your research on online sellers!).
The bottle of EDP I got is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. The scent is nice and strong and it lasts and lasts. I don't really detect a bomb of flowers so where the name comes into play I have no idea. On me, Flowerbomb smells more like a nice baby soap. Clean and crisp but still warm and sexy. It's one of the few perfumes that meshes well with my chemistry. When I find a perfume like that, I snap it up.
I know a lot of people are now poo pooing Flowerbomb because it's over hyped, everyone is wearing it, it's not "complex" enough, yada, yada. Personally, I don't care about any of that. If you like something and it makes you feel good/sexy/whatever, wear it. In this case, I'm glad I listened to the hype because I adore this scent. I couldn't give a toss if it's not considered sophisticated or complex enough for the perfume snobs out there. At the end of the day, it's all smelly alcohol we douse ourselves in to boost our own moods so wear what you like.

This is not usually the type of perfume I wear; I normally go for the classic/clean perfumes...however it caught my attention at Sephora for some reason. I was hesitant about shelling out the money for such an expensive perfume since these types of perfumes tend to give me headaches, but I took a chance on this one. So far it hasn't given me any headaches and although it may smell strong at first but it isn't overpowering at all. It almost reminds me of Vera Wang's "Princess" for some reason but better.... it is subtley sweet yet fresh at the same time and it has a beautiful dry down. This works well with my body chemistry and has great staying power.

I admit I got this for free from a friend. I'm highly picky about fragrances and this was just too off for me. I'm more into expensive classic perfumes and this is just turns too odd on my skin. Maybe others will have better luck with it smelling better on them.

I received a sample of this scent, and found mysefl smelling my arm all day like a goof. I saw the price and thought "Um no" then a few months later tried it on again at Sephora, and once again was smelling my arm all day- so I am finally getting the 1.0 oz for Mother's Day. Super expensive, but smells so good. Vanilla, florals and just a sexy and addicting smell. I will probably only wear it out on date nights, or Ladies nights though bc of the price. Definitely a beautiful scent.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other

This is really the only fragrance that I actually "LOVE". I have the rollerball in my purse constantly, though I never need a touch up. The scent is sweet, a bit musky, and very sexy. It is strong and stays, I can put it on in the morning & still catch hints of it 12 hours later. It is very versatile as well, which I like... I can go from work to a night out and it suits either environment well. Quickly becoming my "signature"!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Other, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

Mmmm... My favorite fragrance as of now. It's very, very sweet and strong. It's lasts until you take a shower seriously. It's a little pricey though but the smell is wonderful I got nothing but compliments from men that I smelled so good.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

I know this is the new �it� perfume and unfortunately I have bought into the hype, but I genuinely like this scent. Probably not my favorite, but I do like wearing it to work only because it is a very heavy scent and it stays on all day. If you are sensitive to smell then you should stay away from this stuff. I probably won�t repurchase, but I like it for now.

This is the first fragrance my husband has ever given to me without me asking for it, so obviously he loves it. It is floral and vanilla with a little spice. Its soft but strong st the same time. Its sensual without being in your face skank like so many "sexy" frags. I really love it and have been wearing it almost every day it doesnt last too long though.

Smells so good. The longer you wear it, it tones down a bit and smells just as good!

Honestly, this is my favorite perfume of all time. It's my first "real" perfume; I usually wear body sprays or something light. This perfume smells like heaven, and I catch myself sniffing my wrists all day! It's not at all overpowering, and the sweet florals are long lasting and develop beautifully with my body chemistry. It's perfect.

So I run my hi-def cable box and PS3 all via HDMI through my A/V receiver and then I have HDMI going from my A/V receiver directly to my TV. I'll be doing the same set up when my 60PZ950 arrives next week and take advantage of the audio return functionality on the hdmi cables. Make sure if you are using HDMI cables that they are up to spec to handle your 3D. I'm using 24 gauge Hi-Speed 15.2 GBs HDMI cables that I got for $12-$14 each from www.mycablemart.com - They are hi quality and won't cost you an arm and a leg. Very quick shipping time also. I can't wait to experience the new TV -

ST. LOUIS (January 30, 2013) – The St. Louis Cardinals and their development partner the Cordish Companies announced that they closed today on the financing for the construction of the $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village. While preliminary site work began today, the team announced that a formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Friday, February 8th at 11 am on the construction site. The $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village, which is anticipated to be completed by Opening Day 2014, will include the construction of 100,000 sq. feet of retail and entertainment space along Clark Street next to Busch Stadium. The first phase also includes all of the streets, parking and site infrastructure to support the future phases of the seven-block $700 million mixed use project.

The Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has more than 100 years history. In 1882 the GSJ was established in the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce with the goals to make geological maps of the country, undertake research related to soils for agriculture and explore mineral resources. In 1948 the GSJ was restructured into the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (former AIST) of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. In 1979 the GSJ and eight AIST institutes distributed in Tokyo were moved to Tsukuba Science City to be assembled on the same premises. Geological Museum was opened the next year. In 2001 the GSJ was merged into the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (new AIST) on April 1st due to the central government reform on January 6th. It consists of more than 60 research units which include several research fields such as electronics, biotechnology, chemistry, environment, mechatronics, metrology and geological survey, and administrative departments in charge of management. It is one of the Japan's largest public research organizations with many research facilities and around 3,200 employees. To carry out the "geological survey", 3 geoscientific research units, two collaborative research teams, related service divisions/offices and Geological Museum are engaged in research activities on the mission, which had been conducted by the former Geological Survey of Japan of former AIST. The mission of the GSJ before WWII was to make geological maps of the country, undertake research related to explore coal and mineral resources. In after WWII the GSJ contributed to the rapid progress in geophysical and geochemical exploration methods for minerals and concentrated to resources exploration for the post WWII recovery in Japan. In 1970's the GSJ expanded its scientific activities into the fields of marine geology, geothermal energy, local and global environmental issues and prediction and prevention of natural hazards in response to changing social needs. The current mission of the GSJ is to provide useful and impartial geoscientific information to the public for effective utilization of our lands and offshore area, resources development, and managing the environment by systematic surveying and fundamental and applied research.

Dave Ball and Chip Kelly have kept in touch since 2006, when both left New Hampshire -- Ball, a record-breaking wide receiver, and Kelly, then the offensive coordinator. Ball would not have been surprised if in 2006, he was told that they would be reunited in the NFL almost a decade later.
"WIth what we were able to do...we built something there, and those ties and those bonds don't get broken very easily," Ball said Monday. "Do I think he would have thought of me? Yeah. Did I think it was going to be a reality if I hit 30. No. But I'm in shape. And I keep myself in shape. And I haven't burned any bridges and I have contacts because I've bounced around."
The Eagles signed Ball on Saturday even though Ball had been out of football for the past year. He taught physical education in his hometown in Vermont while also coaching high school football, and serving as a sports performance trainer. But he's 29, has experience in two different NFL organizations, and most importantly, is familiar with Kelly. With Kelly's play-calling at New Hampshire, Ball broke Jerry Rice's division I-AA touchdown record.
Ball said Kelly's offense is "not cookie-cutter" and "changes every year," so his playbook with the Eagles is different than at UNH.

1994 Dodge Spirit Problems
4 cylinder engines may develop oil leaks from the following areas: Camshaft plug, Camshaft seal, valve cover gasket, cylinder head gasket, and distributor.
Vehicles equipped with a 4 cylinder engine may develop a no start or stalling condition, most commonly caused by a failed distributor pickup plate.
A noise from the rear suspension may be noted at slow speeds over uneven road surfaces. This can be caused by a cracked or broken rear torsion bar. A damaged torsion bar will require replacement.
1994 Dodge Spirit Questions
Car drives fine at low speeds, but when im driving on highway doing around 100km it feels as if im applying brakes, drops about 5-10km then it will then go back to normal , all while keeping the gas pedal in the same position. it does this all the time. the vehicle has only 130,000 km on it.
I just did the headgasket, plugs, wires, cap and rotor and oil change/ coolant flush. It ran fine for a day then all of a sudden will not fire on 2. I have spark and fuel pressure is good. Replaced all the vacuum lines and reset the timing a second time. Could I possibly have bent or stuck intake...
Then shut off, hard to restart, now won't start at all. Changed fuel filter and relay. Checked vacuum lines as well. Would checking fuel pressure help or is it something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

text: Comments (12) + Add comment Comments (12) Featured gamedebater + 1106d ago Here is my review: 1 DmC is like every other DMC 2. Its cool but 3. OG Dante is better soooooooooo its the same DMC as past but with new skins. #1 Agree(0) | Disagree(11) | Report | Reply zerocrossing + 1106d ago "1 DmC is like every other DMC" You clearly haven't played the original DMC games... "2. Its cool but" What? "3. OG Dante is better soooooooooo its the same DMC as past but with new skins." No, just no... OG Dante is better I'll give you that, but to say it's the same game reskined is completely inaccurate, 1st of all the combat is no wear near as deep and engaging, the platforming is much more prominent in DmC where as the puzzles where lacking, the characters, plot and art style are too different and far removed from the original to state they are the same. (Edit) @gamedebater No, seriously it's not, that's like stating GoW is just like Dante's inferno, its the same genre with definite similarities but the style, mechanics and over all ambiance make for a very different experience. #1.1 (Edited 1106d ago ) | Agree(7) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply gamedebater + 1106d ago okay other than story and characters and atmosphere (skins) its exactly like old DMC with a pinch of different combat. the game formula is exactly the same #1.1.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(7) | Report maniacmayhem + 1106d ago @Zero "1st of all the combat is no wear near as deep and engaging," That line right there proves you have NOT played the game or at least gotten very far. In fact this DmC gives you even more options and combo possibilities. In fact I would say it's a little too much considering damn near every button combination does something. #1.1.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(6) | Report zerocrossing + 1106d ago @maniacmayhem Actually I have played it and finished it, granted their is a lot of customisation to the combos none of it really matters since spamming the Demon axe owns pretty much anything in the room except Angels. Overall I found the whole game lacking in comparison to the originals, were skill was a bigger factor than timing a demon dodge and letting rip for easy SSS. #1.1.3 Agree(4) | Disagree(3) | Report gamedebater + 1106d ago Uhmm im saying GOW is like GOW 2 and GOW 3 this applies to DmC Think about it.... the skins are differ the gameplay formula is the same. sure some mechanics are a little different but no more different from COD MW to MW2 see? point is the DMC linear formula is getting old. we didnt need a reboot we needed something more open and of course challenging. and maybe a story that had some sense too but hey neither of them have a story that really makes sense. just different points of view. #1.1.4 (Edited 1106d ago ) | Agree(2) | Disagree(8) | Report Blacktric + 1106d ago "That line right there proves you have NOT played the game or at least gotten very far." "In fact this DmC gives you even more options and combo possibilities." And this proves that you haven't played the actual Devil May Cry games. A game that lets you switch styles on the go (DMC4) versus a game that lets you switch between a couple of different weapons (DmC) cannot be compared let alone deserve to be titled as having more options (talking about DmC). Play the actual games before judging someone for the sake of defending something. DmC is barely a shadow of what Devil May Cry 4 was in terms of gameplay features presented to the player. But of course, you can keep defending how amazing the platforming is or how amazing it is to pull off 2-3 different moves while thinking yourself as a great player. inb4 hurr you hate it because of his hair #1.1.5 (Edited 1106d ago ) | Agree(7) | Disagree(0) | Report VileAndVicious + 1106d ago Dude the demon axe is not the end all be all you say it is. If anything its the Eryx. The Axe is way slow. #1.1.6 (Edited 1106d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Mouktouk + 1106d ago Devil May Cry is not only about a character skin. It's about an atmosphere, a gameplay, a story. And clearly, DmC is not like every other Devil May Cry games, especially the first one. I don't say DmC is not good neither it's bad, I just say I can understand die-hard fans for not liking DmC, considering how different it is to the original Devil May Cry vibes. #1.2 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply jony_dols + 1106d ago Huh, a review from a Thai paper. Not something you see everyday! #2 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Trenta27 + 1106d ago I think this DMC is fantastic. A different spin is good for a series after awhile. Maybe the next one will be better. #3 Agree(1) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply oriononer + 1105d ago Heh.

Nick Hitchens, Deputy group managing editor / / News
A community who rallied together to help search for missing girl Tia Sharp, joined in mourning the 12-year-old with a mass Chinese lantern release.
Hundreds of well-wishers from New Addington and the surrounding area met on Friday night at The Lindens, where the Mitcham girl's body was found last week, to light the lanterns and release them into the night's sky.
The body of Tia, who was first announced missing on August 3, sparking a mass search effort, was discovered in the loft space above her grandma's home on August 10.
Her grandma's boyfriend Stuart Hazell has been charged with her murder and has been remanded in custody until November.

Motorola Plans Split into Consumer and Business Companies
Motorola has announced a planned split by its first quarter 2011. The mobile handset and set-top box sector will be a separate publicly traded company from the enterprise solutions and networking business.
The measure was prompted by the company's ongoing quarterly losses. The consumer sector with the lion's share going to the mobile phone market had to combat some heavy losses in the previous quarters. Motorola most recently settled on the Google Android system for its smartphones in a competitive marketplace and is betting its future on it.
Both companies will still continue to be Motorola, with one firm owning the names and licensing and providing them royalty-free to the other. Stockholders will get a tax-free split of their shares between the two companies. Of course, the SEC will need to authorize the move.

About the Festival
Tremblant will vibrate to the sound of the International Blues Festival From July 3 to 12, 2015, welcoming musicians from the four corners of the world for 10 days of blues music, from its purest roots to its influence from R&B, soul, funk, country, folk and rock. More than a hundred indoor and outdoor shows, most of them free, will be presented in a natural environment as Street Blues, jam sessions in unusual locations, blues'araoke and music workshops for the family. This 22nd edition will include an explosive program that is more accessible with a wider variety than ever before, as indicated by Anne-Marie Withenshaw, a music-lover and spokesperson for the Festival.
Renowned for the quality of its programming, its enchanting surroundings and the proximity it offers to the artists – all which has secured the Festival with international recognition and numerous awards – the 2015 edition proposes more encounters and exchanges. Festival-goers and artists can mingle in the intimate surroundings of the pedestrian village, while the music workshops will provide them with another venue to interact. The friendly environment of the workshops will allow music-lovers and amateurs to learn some tricks of the trade and listen to interesting anecdotes from the artists, who will also be pleased to answer questions and sign autographs. With its redesigned concept, the Blues'araoké offers 20 candidates the chance to participate in a public audition with musicians from the Festival, and the winner will receive an acoustic guitar autographed by the artists of the Festival's 2015 edition.
Major shows at Place Saint-Bernard, discovery concerts at Place des Voyageurs, Place Deslauriers and on stage in Vieux-Tremblant, with the jam sessions in the resto-bars of the pedestrian village and the shows at the Village Church, the Tremblant International Blues Festival is without a doubt the most intimate international festival!
Interesting Facts
There are more than 100 shows, most of them free, presented on outdoor stages and in the participating resto-bars of the pedestrian village.
Ten days of music featuring blues legends, aspiring stars and emerging artists following today's musical trends.
Over the years, the Festival has welcomed numerous international blues, rock and rhythm and blues legends such as Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, James Cotton, Bob Walsh, Jimmy James, Koko Taylor, Blind Boys of Alabama, Mavis Staples, Bettye LaVette, Steve Hill, Jonny Lang among others.
The Tremblant International Blues Festival received the 2013 award in the "International Festival" category during the "Keeping the Blues Alive Awards" ceremony of The Blues Foundation in recognition of its significant contribution to blues music.
The Tremblant International Blues Festival is one of the largest musical events in Canada.
Year after year, the Festival attracts over 100 000 festival-goers.
Substainable development
The 22nd edition of the Tremblant International Blues Festival is certified Level 2 according to the BNQ Responsible event management standard. The Festival is committed to reducing waste by setting high diversion goals and a maximum target of less than 50g per person per day of garbage sent to landfill. Be sustainable, think of carpooling.

Palace of spies : being a true, accurate, and complete account of the scandalous and wholly remarkable adventures of Margaret Preston Fitzroy, counterfeit lady, accused thief, and confidential agent at the court of his majesty, King George I
by Sarah Zettel
Janet Q
December 24, 2013
Proper young ladies practicing espionage seems to be a bit of a trend in YA literature these days. This entry, set in London in 1716, places our heroine Peggy as lady-in-waiting/spy in the court of Princess Caroline, amidst the backdrop of intrigue during the reign of George I. Peggy, who takes the identity of Francesca Wallingham, is a quick study who manages to outwit her many foes and live to fight another day, with a little help from her friends, of course. The stultifying dull lives allowed most women of the time, even rich and titled ones, make Peggy's decision to continue on as a spy seem quite logical. There is quite a bit of interesting and accessible historical detail here for such a fast-paced novel, although I still do not understand why supporters of James Stuart are called Jacobites.

USGS Data Management
Data Management Plans
Planning for Data Management involves answering questions about the data: Do they already exist? How will they be obtained or collected? What is the schedule and budget for data collection? How will the data be checked and certified? What are the likely uses for the data? How will the data be stored, accessed, and protected? A good data management plan provides a strategy for how you will answer all of these questions.
Best Practices: Data Management Planning Considerations
Data Management Checklist [PDF]
This checklist is useful to ensure that you have addressed the issues that may affect your data.
Key Points
USGS Examples of Data Management Plans:
What data are you collecting? Do the data already exist?
[see Acquire > Methods for more information on data acquisition issues]
Who is responsible for managing the data and the data management plan?
[see Describe > Metadata and Describe > Access Controls and Copyrights for more information]
How will data be collected?
[see Acquire > Methods for more information on data collection issues]
What format will the data and metadata be in?
[see Plan > Data & File Formats and Plan > Data Templates for more information]
What is the schedule and budget for the collection?
How will the data be checked and certified?
[see Manage Quality for more information]
What are all the likely uses for the data, who will use it, what kinds of outputs will be needed?
How do these impact the need to store, access, and protect the data?
How are the data being stored and backed up?
[see Backup & Secure and Preserve > Archiving for more information]
Example Data Management Plan Formats
Some example Data Management Plans from various institutions can be found at Public DMPs
The DMPTool is a free web-based application, created through a collaboration with multiple institutions, including DataONE. The DMPTool will help you:
"Designed to help researchers learn about data management and write guided Data Management Plans (DMPs), the DMPTool walks researchers through the steps necessary to create a generic NSF DMP or a DMP targeted to one of six NSF Directorates. You can also save, preview, and export your plans and future functionality will allow you to share DMPs with collaborators and other researchers." See the DMPTool Guide for additional information and assistance.
Anyone can sign up for a free account. Click the "Get Started" button on the DMPTool homepage to begin.
USGS users can log in to the DMPTool and select U.S. Geological Survey as your institution to sign up. Once you log in, you can use a USGS guidance template by going to Create New DMP and choosing U.S. Geological Survey DMP Guidance. Please note, this template is not prescriptive but meant as guidance for individuals and Centers/Programs who want to create their own Data Management Plans.
What the U.S. Geological Survey Manual Says:
The USGS Manual 502.2 - Fundamental Science Practices: Planning and Conducting Data Collection and Research establishes requirements for Project Work Plans:
Project Work Plan. Documents the timeline for the study, lists the discrete tasks that need to be completed to accomplish the objectives, and describes the relationship of discrete tasks to one another and the methods to be used (how they can be explained and defended, including exploring differences in performance, comparability of results, and so on). A project work plan also documents the budget for the study, staffing of the study, anticipated or planned information products (including the recommended review and approval process for these products), and the process for managing and archiving scientific records. A project work plan can be a component of a proposal that is handled through the Bureau planning process.
Note: Information Product: An information product is the compilation of scientific communication or knowledge such as facts, data, or interpretations in any medium (e.g., print, digital, Web) or form, including textual, numerical, graphical, cartographic, or audiovisual, to be disseminated to a defined audience or customer, scientific or nonscientific, internal or external.
The USGS Instructional Memoradum IM OSQI 2015-001 - Foundation Data Policy establishes requirements for data management plans:
"Plan. The overall project work plan of every research project must include planning for data management (SM 502.2). A data management plan describes standards and intended actions for acquiring, processing, analyzing, preserving, publishing/sharing, describing, managing quality, backing up, and securing the data holdings (http://www.usgs.gov/datamanagement/plan.php). The data management plan, like the work plan, should be updated during the research phase to reflect the reality of the project activities."

Really cool. This reminds me of about 5 different science fiction novels I have on my bookshelf. lol, wonderful job. It definitely spiked my imagination.
Awesome work, tons of details, pro quality and a great concept, love that kind of lively club where all kinds of shady people would go. I know this is only a sketch phase but it could use a ton more people! Maybe not walking around in the open but perhaps standing near the buildings.

2013 Saint Paul Almanac Launch Party
The Saint Paul Almanac is a project that has grown impressively over the past seven years. What was once a handy book with black-and-white photography inside is now a publication filled with colorful maps, special pull-out illustrations, and even an online companion site (saintpaulalmanac.org) that hosts info on community happenings and additional stories. The 2013 edition will once again bring together a varied collection of essays, poems, artworks, and stories from a group of contributors that includes longtime residents and people who are new to the city, high school students and grandparents, first-time writers and local luminaries. This year's publication features 132 pieces by 114 folks who were blind-selected by editors from hundreds of submissions. Expect stories of Irish ghosts, brewery workers from the '20s, first kisses, bullies, bicycles, iguana road kill, and a flood-threatened wedding. To celebrate, Thursday night's launch party at AZ Gallery, the Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar, and Clouds in Water Zen Center (all in the same building) will boast food, artwork, and readings from St. Paul Poet Laureate Carol Connolly, Diego Vázquez Jr., Tish Jones, Loren Niemi, and others. (Pictured: A Pull-out art piece by Ta-coumba Aiken)

Compare the BAM XS-B26-2 to the Beeman R9! Equipped with a muzzlebrake and thumbhole stock, this spring-piston breakbarrel rifle will make you think you're shooting a European gun instead of a Chinese copy!
This remarkably accurate rifle doesn't come with sights. But even if it did, you'd still want to mount a scope on it to get the most accuracy from the gun. Leaving nothing out, the manufacturer also copied the Weihrauch Rekord trigger. While not perfect, it's a far sight better than the Chinese triggers you've gotten used to!
We chronographed both calibers and got the following results with the pellets shown:
.177: 1060 fps w/5-grain pellets
.177: 880 fps w/7.5-grain pellets
.22: 870 fps w/7.0-grain pellets
.22: 725 fps w/10.5-grain pellets
.22: 650 fps w/14.3-grain pellets
Shown with optional equipment. Scope NOT included!

Things I liked: Beautiful gun, good workmanship. Even finish (bluing and stain). Accuracy is superb - 1/2 in groups at 25 yds with the right ammo (RWS Proline Meisterkugeln). Trigger is decent and adjustable, can be tuned for ultra-precise, crisp let-off. Very easy cocking effort for amount of power in the gun - significantly easier than RWS/Diana 34P that throws pellets the same speed. Strong enough to pass pellets right through grey squirrels at 20-25 yds.
Things I would have changed: Trigger needs some tuning for those who demand ultra-high, light, crisp performance. Stock, as noted, is too high and must be re-shaped. Gun seems picky about pellets. Crossman Premiers get puked up like the barrel is bent. Beeman Lasers aren't much better. Beeman Kodiaks are slightly better, and JSB Diabolo Exacts shoot very well. The RWS Meisterkugelns shoot like a dream - pellet on pellet accuracy at least 25 yards out. 1/2 in groups with slight wind. On a dead calm day I bet they would shrink.
What others should know: Have not had a chance to do lots of shooting at >25 yds yet. I suspect group sizes will grow more with distance, as there is a little more variation in pellet speed than other guns in the same 'class' (e.g. RWS/Diana 34P noted above). However, the class is populated by guns $100 more expensive and up - this gun is definitely a very talented freshman playing on the varsity team. As the gun has no open sights, a scope must be mounted. Do yourself a favor and get a good scope for it ($100-150 range) because the gun will perform up to that level. This is an entry-level price for a high-quality gun, especially when tuned. I would give 6 stars value-for money if I could. Chronograph testing listed above by P.A. is spot on - results in about 14.0-14.3 ft-lbs energy (measured at 10') across various weight pellets. Using 14 ft-lbs and weight of the pellet in grains, you can back out a very accurate number for expected pellet velocity for whatever weight/speed combination suits you. Please note: contrary to some other reviews, the safety IS ABLE to be re-activated after it is taken off. Safety is activated at the end of the cocking stroke just after the spring catches. To re-safety, simply break the barrel and 're-cock', which will not affect the spring (still cocked and held from first stroke) but will re-enable the safety.

Things I liked: Beautiful finish on wood and bluing. On par with Euro guns. Shoots hard with alittle kick. Best grouping at rest. My rifle is .22cal Very good for field work. Gun is on the heavy side to carry all day.Get a good comfortable sling.
Things I would have changed: Cheek piece is way too high. With tall scope rings still unable to get correct sight picture. I shaved 1/2 to 6/8 inches off the top of the cheek piece to be able to get good and clear sight picture in the scope.
What others should know: All of the airgun features are well made.

Things I liked: B26-2 works very well with Gamo Hunter pellet. I shot 0.5 group at 20 yards, considering the bad shooting position. Crosman Premier and Beeman Silver Bear hi-impact got about 1" group. Gamo Hunter is the most penetrating pellet compared to the other two.
Things I would have changed: The rifle cheek is so high that the gun needs a tall scope mount. Otherwise, you need to duck down your head to peak into the scope. That should be changed.
What others should know: Make sure you have a tall scope mount. The accuracy decreases after 35 yards.

DEFINITION of 'Short Covering'
Buying back borrowed securities in order to close an open short position. Short covering refers to the purchase of the exact same security that was initially sold short, since the short-sale process involved borrowing the security and selling it in the market. For example, assume you sold short 100 shares of XYZ at $20 per share, based on your view that the shares were headed lower. When XYZ declines to $15, you buy back 100 shares of XYZ in the market to cover your short position (and pocket a gross profit of $500 from your short trade). This process is known as short covering.
BREAKING DOWN 'Short Covering'
The short-sale will be profitable if the short position is covered at a lower price than the stock was sold short. It would result in a loss if the short covering occurs at a higher price than the stock was shorted. When there is a great deal of short covering occurring in a stock, it may be result in a "short squeeze," wherein short sellers are forced to liquidate their positions at progressively higher prices as the stock moves up rapidly. Also known as "buy to cover."
Short covering may also happen on an involuntary basis in the case of stocks with very high short interest, which may subject short sellers to a "buy in." This refers to the closing out of a short position by a broker-dealer if the stock is extremely difficult to borrow and its lenders are demanding it back.
The risk of short covering, i.e. whether or not the stock will be subject to a short squeeze, can be gauged by a stock's short interest and its short interest ratio (SIR). Short interest refers to the number of shares sold short as a percentage of total shares outstanding, while short interest ratio is computed as total shares sold short divided by the stock's average daily trading volume.
The higher the short interest and SIR, the greater the risk that short covering may occur in a disorderly fashion. For example, consider a stock with 50 million shares outstanding, 10 million shares sold short and average daily trading volume of 1 million shares. This stock has a short interest of 20% and a SIR of 10, both of which are quite high, suggesting that short covering could be difficult.
Short covering is generally responsible for the initial stages of a rally after a prolonged bear market or a protracted decline in a stock. Short sellers usually have a shorter trading horizon than investors with long positions. This is due to the risk of runaway losses on a short squeeze, so they are quick to cover their short positions on any signs of a turnaround in market sentiment or a stock's fortunes.

Good except one thing
This review is from: Belkin 4-Port Ultra Slim USB 2.0 Hub Model # F4U040QFCAPL
Pros: It works well with the Raspberry Pi and it looks good (just like me).
Cons: Power plug is oversized and stupid looking. You know the type, it takes up several plugs on the power strip. It looks like it came with a much cheaper product.
Other Thoughts: The power plug could be used as a weapon in case of zombies or a home invasion. It is heavy and you could swing it by the cord making it a formidable weapon for defending your office.

Adios 2010: Alt.Latino Salutes The Albums Of The Year
This has been a good year for Alt.Latino. We started a weekly program to showcase great new alternative and rock music from across the Latin world, as well as a blog in which we update you on music news and happenings. People sometimes ask us if it's hard to build a show from scratch, and while the answer is a resounding "yes," 2010 has been a great year to do it. It was a year of amazing releases from Argentina to Mexico, and from the Caribbean to Spain.
This was also a year in which we made a lot of good friends, so when we decided to do our "Best of 2010" show, we invited one of them: Ernesto Lechner, co-host of WEXT's The Latin Alternative and author of Rock En Español: The Latin Alternative Rock Explosion. We asked him to pick a handful of his favorite albums of 2010, and together, we chose and discussed our favorites.
The result reflects an eclectic mix of musical tastes. We've got a duo of Puerto Rican rabble-rousers, an Argentine producer whose music is like a voyage across the Americas, a Mexican singer who cast her spell on us all and a Dominican singing bachata in Japan. We didn't all agree on each other's selections, but that made the conversation even more interesting.
To see Alt.Latino's full list of song selections, click here. And, as always, we invite you to offer your own selections. What did we miss? What were your favorite albums of 2010?
