It's not just the legal profession that is feeling the squeeze; the journalists who write about it are suffering, too.
Coverage of law is much reduced in the national newspapers – with The Times, for example, down to just one full-time legal reporter for print and online. Meanwhile, legal magazines are getting ever thinner.
Indeed, Legal Week has so few pages these days that there has been speculation that it could go online only. Its sister title, Accountancy Age, already has…
Certainly, it will be interesting to see how Legal Week, which was launched 14 years ago as a City-focused spin-off from The Lawyer, responds to the decision of three out of four of its reporters to seek alternative employment. Their departures follow last month's announcement that the magazine's longstanding editor, Alex Novarese, is being moved upstairs to a part-commercial position.
Novarese maintained that the departures were "totally unconnected" to his change of role. He added: "The three people who are leaving are doing so for very different reasons. One reporter had already resigned, after being with us for four and half years and wanting a new challenge, and my understanding is that another reporter who wants to do an MA had already been accepted in a place. Good for her. A third decided they didn't want to do journalism, which is a shame but happens from time to time."
Last year, a publishing industry executive drew a comparison between journalists and blacksmiths circa 1912, "when there were a lot of blacksmiths about and we were about to get the motor car", and suggested that there is room for just one major print trade magazine per industry.
In comparison, the supposedly Darwinian challenges facing lawyers in the wake of the implementation of the Legal Services Act look, well, not so Darwinian.

When the delinquent state democrats who had illegally abandoned their duties as representatives of the good people of Wisconsin finally showed up for work, Gov. Scott Walker will have won a decisive victory against the public sector unions in his state.
But in reality he was fighting for all of us, even those far beyond the cheese curd borders. What the unions were doing to the education of the state of Wisconsin was derelict but what they were doing against the taxpayers of the nation was criminal.
The State of Wisconsin had been awarded hefty sums in the Obama stimulus package - over four billion ($4,000,000,000) in awards all totaled. Public school teachers and the public education system in general were awarded nearly half of that from various sources at the federal level. The Department of Education alone contributing more than 1,000,000,000 to the state.
When you drilled down a bit more we find that there were roughly 18 documented stimulus awards that were made to public education. In the fine print on merely one of the awards you discover in that award alone more than $717,000,000 were awarded for the express purpose of shoring up the salaries of teachers, administrators, teachers aides, and what we found about late this week was the past due amount owed to teachers' pensions and health benefits. These were the very same issues that Gov. Scott Walker had begged cooperation from the legislature on.
The theory goes that Walker's predecessor Gov. Jim Doyle a bought and paid for union supporter had been purposefully concealing the fact that he and other pro-union democrats had raided the education funds and the stimulus fix temporarily plastered over the gaping hole.
Until stimulus funds ran out of course.
Hence the situation that Gov. Scott Walker walked into was not only unsustainable, but the state found itself with a deficit of 3.6 billion dollars, after having received stimulus fund awards to the tune of a tad over 4 billion. Thusly the question that has not been asked is, "where did the nearly 8 billion dollars go that created this hole?"
Walker was forced with the reality that public sector unions were holding hostage, not just the taxpayers of Wisconsin, but of the nation, and decided that time would come to an end.
Unions in the private sector generally seek to regulate, punish, or hold accountable a private corporation for fair play. They were designed for the protections of the workers in the private sector specifically so that greedy businessmen could not escape ethical realities for their staff.

Much to Debate Between Blackmon, Kalil
By Nick Wagoner/Senior Writer
Posted 2 hours ago
Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon is considered the best at his position but one thing the Rams will have to consider in the buildup to the draft is whether a wideout holds more value than a top tackle like USC's Matt Kalil.
INDIANAPOLIS – As far as the Rams are concerned, one of the hottest debates they'll have between now and April's NFL Draft is one that has a little bit of a chicken vs. the egg feel to it.
Throwing all of the trade speculation to the side and focusing on the possibility that the Rams could fall in love with a player and draft him with the No. 2 pick, there's likely to be a lot of conversation on what the team needs most: a dynamic, play making wide receiver or a dominant protector of an offensive tackle.
When posed with the question of which would be more beneficial for quarterback Sam Bradford, general manager Les Snead made it clear that there's not really a definitively correct answer.
"You definitely need both," Snead said. "You can have weapons. Go back to the Buddy Ryan days with the Chicago Bears and their 46 defense. They blitzed, there were people running open but the quarterback just couldn't get the guys open. But you also know if you don't have weapons people can defend you if they are not scared of your perimeter speed and explosion. They can now bring their whole defense up closer and not be worried about the ball going over their head. There's a fine line. We have got to do both to succeed here."
Considering the Rams' need for help at both positions, there's no question they will look long and hard at wideouts and tackles in this draft, particularly the top players at those positions.
This year, it's pretty clear that one player stands alone at the top of those respective positions: Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon and USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil.
Both have been touted as the best at their spots and both have been praised as potential top-five picks. Of course, the Rams could trade down and potentially still draft a player at either position but if the Rams are to stay at No. 2 and draft a player, there's a very real chance that player will be Blackmon or Kalil.
Here's a closer look at what the Rams will have to weigh in the next two months before they make any kind of decision.
When evaluating his team last year, Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff saw a glaring need for a wide receiver who could make big plays in the passing game. One of his top lieutenants at the time was player personnel director Les Snead.
Dimitroff, with the help of Snead, engineered one of the biggest draft day moves in league history, moving up from No. 27 in the draft to No. 6 where the Falcons selected Alabama's Julio Jones.
It was a bold move but also one that made a lot of sense in today's NFL, where dynamic passing games rule and play makers are at a premium.
"It seems like some of the old school football coaches who have been around a long time call this basketball on grass now," Snead said. "It's become a space game so you are going to have to be explosive in a short area either to react or pro-act. Football is basically physics and geometry. It's angles and physics, it's force and speed and all of that coming together for explosion. Yes, you have to look at a different type of animal. You can see that in college football. Players are getting smaller at all levels. It's a spacing game and speed, agility and quickness are at a premium."
Enter Blackmon, the clear cut top wideout in the draft after a dizzyingly productive college career in which he posted 3,564 yards, 252 catches and 40 touchdowns in just 35 games.
Blackmon was so dominant as a redshirt sophomore – he had 111 catches for 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns – that he nearly entered the draft and took a shot at dethroning last year's dynamic receiver duo of Jones and Georgia's A.J. Green (who went fourth to Cincinnati).
Instead, Blackmon opted to return to school but that doesn't mean he has any notion that he isn't as talented as Jones or Green.
"They are great athletes," Blackmon said. "They came into the league and did a really good job this year. They had really good rookie seasons, both A.J. and Julio. I am very competitive, so I would put myself right up there with them. I like to compete, so I'm not going to down myself and say that I'm not just as good as them."
If his endorsement isn't enough to make the Rams think twice about making sure they get him at No. 2, Dimitroff co-signed that Blackmon is in the same class as his own prized young wideout.
"I think most people would agree that Julio Jones and A.J. Green were at the top of their draft boards and there was a lot of interest," Dimitroff said. "I think someone like Blackmon is going to garner a lot of interest and there are going to be a lot of people that are contemplating being aggressive about going up and getting a receiver that can be an impact player in this league."
While the many rose petals being tossed at Blackmon's feet are well earned, make no mistake, he doesn't come without a few question marks.
Blackmon measured in at a shade less than 6'1 at the scouting combine Friday. By no means does that mean he's too small to be a NFL success but it also is a few inches shorter than most receivers who have gone in the top five in recent drafts.
In addition, some believe that though Blackmon is great at catching intermediate passes and breaking tackles for yards after the catch, he might not have the speed to make big plays vertically in the passing game.
Because of a hamstring injury, Blackmon will not run the 40-yard dash when the receivers go through the physical workouts on Sunday. He'll wait until Oklahoma State's Pro Day on March 7 to try to wow scouts with his speed.
"I'd like to run a 4.2, but that's probably not going to happen," Blackmon said. "I know I'm not slow. I'm going to get out and will probably shock a few people."
At his best, Blackmon says he's run in the 4.4 range, which would be more than enough to solidify his status as a potential top-five pick. But even if he doesn't Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden would advise teams not to put too much stock into a single 40-yard dash.
"Turn on the film," Weeden said. "The guy pulls away from everybody. You turn on the film and no one catches up to him."
Blackmon grew up in a military family in Ardmore, Okla. His father was dispatched to Kuwait when he was in fifth grade.
With his father not around, Blackmon acknowledged that he acted out a bit. When he meets with teams this weekend, he'll have to answer questions about an arrest for driving under the influence.
"It was rough," Blackmon said. "But growing up in a military home I knew that was his job and something he had to do. He never complained about it. He did what he had to do. As a family, we couldn't do much more than pray and hope that he would come back."
Blackmon said Friday that it is important to him to be the first receiver drafted and he said he'd have no problem catching passes for the Rams from former college rival and current Rams quarterback Sam Bradford.
"Not at all," Blackmon said. "Sam is a great quarterback and I'm sure we could put our differences aside for that."
From the Rams' perspective it's imperative to find some play makers in this offseason. They haven't had a 1,000-yard receiver since Torry Holt in 2007.
Should they opt to draft Blackmon, either at No. 2 or even after a possible trade down, the hope would be that he's the player that could end that streak.
"He's going to be a top player in the draft," Snead said. "I'm not ready to say is he better or worse than A.J. or Julio but just like last year, we were picking in the 20s and there's a lot of reasons why we wanted to go up and get him. If we figure out between now and then that Justin is worth it, I think he would definitely be an option."
When Jeff Fisher became head coach of the then Houston Oilers, he was handed a team with a few pieces in place, not the least of which was a left tackle that would hold down the position for 13 seasons.
Consequently, the Oilers/Titans never had much of a need for a left tackle in Fisher's time there and Tennessee never seriously considered selecting one. When the time did come, Mike Munchak was established as the offensive line coach and the Titans believed they could use a later pick on a tackle and develop him, something they have done successfully with former second-round pick Michael Roos, whom they drafted in 2005 and has been to three Pro Bowls since.
"I think Brad Hopkins was selected a couple years beforehand and coach Munchak does an outstanding job of evaluating the offensive line, as does the staff," Fisher said. "We just felt like over the years, we could get those guys in rounds 2, 3 or 4 and develop them and we did so."
From the Rams' perspective, the need on the offensive line has been born mostly out of injury. The team drafted Jason Smith with the No. 2 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft in hopes he'd become that cornerstone tackle.
Smith's career has been a series of starts and stops though as he's been plagued by a pair of serious concussions that have kept him off the field.
Rodger Saffold had a terrific rookie season in 2010 but had a setback last year when he suffered a torn pectoral while weight lifting mid-way through the season. The Rams led the league in sacks allowed in 2011, yielding 55.
That leaves a clear opening for the Rams to potentially use the No. 2 pick on Kalil, who is rated clearly as the top tackle in this year's draft.
Kalil put on a show in his workout Saturday and even he believes he's the best at his position.
"I would definitely say I am the best tackle in the draft," Kalil said. "At my position or quarterback position or any big time position, confidence is definitely a big part of your game and I think they want to hear that you are the best tackle in the draft. I think I am. I think I have definitely worked hard and going through SC, I worked on everything I can to become a better player and I am definitely ready to take my skills to the next level."
At 6'6, 306 pounds, Kalil cuts the frame of a franchise left tackle. He's an elite athlete who had little to no trouble in pass protection in his time with the Trojans. Kalil allowed no sacks last season for a Trojans offensive line that gave up just eight the entire season.
That performance combined with his lineage – his brother Ryan is a Pro Bowl center for Carolina and his father played in the U.S.F.L. – makes Kalil perhaps the most coveted tackle prospect since Jake Long went No. 1 to Miami in 2008.
"I think we will be here and you all will be interviewing one of these players in about 10 years and I think that guy will still be starting 10 years later," Snead said. "It's up to him. He's got to have the want to and go actually make it happen. I do think he's one of those guys that will start in this league for a long time."
The question then becomes whether Kalil is a truly elite tackle along the lines of Long or Cleveland's Joe Thomas. The rate of hits and misses for offensive tackles this decade has been about even when it comes to top 10 picks.
For every Long, there's been an Andre Smith. For every Thomas, a Robert Gallery. And, like Blackmon, Kalil doesn't come without his share of questions.
Kalil played most of his career at less than 300 pounds and while that allowed him to remain nimble and athletic in pass protection, it didn't translate into the running game as well leaving some to wonder if he's not well-rounded enough to be drafted in the top two or three picks.
That weakness isn't only perceived by outside pundits, either. Kalil has made it a point in his training at Athletes Performance to put on weight and get stronger in the buildup to the draft.
Kalil weighed in at 306 pounds and says he'd like to get in the 310 pound range.
"I've been working on that a lot this offseason," Kalil said. "I've been working over at API on my strength, getting bigger, getting stronger. I think I have definitely made lots of improvements since the end of the season."
Ultimately, any weaknesses perceived or otherwise are probably picking nits when it comes to Blackmon and Kalil. The Rams' ultimate decision should they decide not to trade back could come down more to a matter of philosophy and football values than the players themselves.
Even for offensive tackles, the addition of veteran coach Paul Boudreau could be enough to swing the decision.
"We've got an outstanding offensive line coach with us as well and we share some of the same philosophies," Fisher said. "That doesn't mean we won't take an offensive lineman that high, though."
In other words, the Rams have no intention of tipping their hand between now and the draft and all options will remain on the table. Of course, they could still trade down and let other teams settle the debate for them.

Since I'm guessing iTunes 10.5, iTunes has started to sync the same Genius data for the same 315 songs with every sync.
I use Genius and want it to work as advertised.
So, I turned off Genius and on again.
I restored the iPhone.
I knew the next step would tke ages, and it did: find and remove those tracks.
I looked for logs but it seems there aren't any, so I found each track - with the help of Snapz Pro to check the names of the tracks as they flash up - and removed it from the library. Several hours later that had "solved" the problem, and I turned Genius off and on again as well to resync.
But, when I add the tracks back, same problem. (In fact, it was 314 tracks and is now 315.)
What seems to be the issue is that these tracks are near-duplicates: so remixes of the same song (with the full remix name in the title) or the same song on an album, and let's say a greatest hits collection. (I would love it if iTunes could somehow applytwo sets of metadata to tracks so they'd be picked up as both when playing by album, but it does not, and I do play by album from time to time.) But, all of the tracks - including the "original" - need to be deleted. So, if I have a single with four mixes, Genius will keep syncing even one of those tracks if I delete three. I think these tracks may not have been purchased on iTunes - I see a lot from Napster (new version! Becks beer has been giving free tracks!) and some from my pre-iTunes CDs.
This is not the end of the world but it is annoying. Has anyone found a fix? I see other people reporting what I think is the same problem, but the suggestions are the usual things about turning Genius off and on again. I think the problem is likely how Genius deals with very similar tracks: badly, is my guess!
The reason I wanted to do this was I have been planning to enable iTunes Match but wanted a "clean" library to start with. On the one hand I'm wondering if iTunes Match might replace some of these non-iTunes tracks with the iTunes versions; on the other hand I'm guessing it uses the same library, and thinking out loud I wonder if it is finding "duplicates" to lighten the server load?
Anyway, thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

It's all about the games, isn't it? The stories we read, the scores we check, the highlights we watch ... they're all about the games. Somebody wins. Somebody loses. And sometimes you get a great one, a game for the ages, a game that will be shown for years on ESPN Classic, a game that makes you leap for joy or causes your head to throb in pain.
ESPN.com then called ESPNet SportsZone launched on April 1, 1995, in conjunction with the Final Four in Seattle (the original offices of the Web site were in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue). That day, Arkansas beat North Carolina 75-68 and UCLA beat Oklahoma State 74-61. Neither game was good enough to make our list of the 100 greatest games of the past 10 years, but they did kick off 10 fantastic years. We're just as excited about the next 10.

--David Schoenfield
100. 2001: Indians 15, Mariners 14 (11 innings)
Just a meaningless August game? Maybe. The Indians rallied from 12 runs down in the final three innings for the biggest comeback in major league history. The significance? The Mariners finished their amazing year with 116 victories tied with the 1906 Cubs for most ever. They could have had the record to themselves.
99. 1995: Northwestern 17, Notre Dame 15
The Wildcats hadn't had a winning season since 1971 when they opened the 1995 season with a stunning upset of the Irish. They went on to an undefeated Big Ten season and Rose Bowl berth.
98. 1996 NCAA Tournament, 1st round: Princeton 43, UCLA 41
UCLA was the defending national champion when it ran into Princeton's slow-down offense. The Bruins didn't score in the final 6:13 and the Tigers won it on a patented back-door pass with 3.9 seconds left.
97. 2001: Duke 98, Maryland 96 (OT)
Duke trailed by 10 with 54 seconds left when Jason Williams scored eight straight points in a 13-second span. In OT, Shane Battier scored Duke's final six points and then blocked Juan Dixon's shot at the buzzer.
96. 2001 NCAA Tournament, semifinals: Duke 95, Maryland 84
And to add more insult to injury, the ACC rivals met again in the Final Four. This time, the Terps jumped to a 38-17 first-half lead. Duke closed to within 11 by halftime, gained the lead with seven minutes left and pulled away down the stretch.
95. 2002: Colts 23, Broncos 20
In a Sunday Night game on national TV, with a heavy snowfall soaking the field, Indy's Mike Vanderjagt nailed a 54-yard field at the end of regulation to tie it and then booted a 51-yarder in OT to win it.
94. 2003 Australian Open quarterfinals: Andy Roddick def. Younes El Aynaoui, 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 21-19
The epic fifth set alone lasted 2 hours, 23 minutes.
93. 2000 World Series, Game 1: Yankees 4, Mets 3 (12 innings)
Mets fans undoubtedly remember Timo Perez's pause on the bases. And Armando Benitez's blowing the save in the bottom of the ninth.

Georgetown needs OT to knock off Syracuse
Associated Press
Rivals.com College Basketball
WASHINGTON Even when Georgetown is a huge favorite, the Hoyas always have their hands full with Syracuse.
It was no different Monday night, when No. 9 Georgetown had to rally from a seven-point deficit over the final five minutes of regulation then outscored the Orange 4-2 in a ragged overtime to escape with a 64-62 victory.
Roy Hibbert scored 15 points for Georgetown, including the only field goal of overtime. The 7-foot-2 center, who has made the first two 3-pointers of his college career in recent games, was left open for a 13-footer that gave the Hoyas a 64-60 lead with a minute remaining.
Donte Greene then made two of 3 free throws - he was fouled attempting a 3-pointer - to cut the Orange's deficit to two with 44 seconds left. But Syracuse's Jonny Flynn, who scored 24 points, missed a long, contested 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Georgetown (15-2, 5-1 Big East) improved to 10-0 at home and avoided the upset that happened last season under almost identical circumstances. Syracuse upset then-No. 9 Georgetown 72-58 on a Monday night last season to stop the Hoyas' 11-game winning streak. The Orange had won seven of the last eight in the series.
Syracuse (13-7, 3-4), which is down to nine scholarship players including five freshmen, has lost four of five overall. Orange coach Jim Boeheim remains one victory shy of tying Henry Iba at for 10th all-time in Division I with 764.

group travel & tours
Group Travel is not only the most economical way to travel, it is also the most fun! While the logistics can be tricky, there is nothing like touring famous cities with a group of your friends, coworkers, or even your book club! Group travel can be invaluable for team building and creating a sense of community.
How Do We Define a Group for Touring Purposes?
Most travel vendors give discounts for groups, however each vendor defines a group differently. Here are some of those breakdowns:
- Hotels – 10 or more rooms per night
- Airlines – 10-15 seats on a plane
- Cruises – 15-20 beds (based on two people per room)
- Activities – 15 people
Why Should You Use a Tour Operator?
Planning a group tour takes time, expertise and involves multiple suppliers. Airlines, motor coach companies, attractions, accommodations, and restaurants all have different considerations. An experienced tour operator will seamlessly coordinate your group's entire trip-without extra work for you. They will make all the necessary arrangements to accommodate your trip requests. Tour operators also ensure that suppliers are in compliance with federal safety standards. They can make sure the suppliers provide proof of better business practices and are appropriate to the age of your group.
Tour operators are often given additional discounts from suppliers, since they buy in bulk. The can also negotiate free travel for your group's organizer. Visit our "10 Great Reasons to Hire a Tour Guide" page for more information on how it can save your time any money.
I loved my New York City trip with Peak Performance Tours and Bruce Rickert! He never tired of my unending questions and phone calls, and the personal service during the trip was excellent. He made sure our tour was memorable for the adults and students alike. We're planning one for California next year!"

The rooms are nice and clean, but I had to switch to a different room because the bathroom window which face the courtyard did not have a curtain. As it is, the rooms' doors have a very thin curtain already so the outside light is an issue at night. Breakfast was not very good, the bread was old and hard... More

Recently, a certain Senator from Massachusetts made some rather uncharitable remarks about the educational level of our troops in harms way. The varying ways in which he chose to initially and then subsequently insult both their intelligence and ours are the parts of the story that have been widely covered.
What has not received much coverage is the fact that a few days after his remarks, some of our troops in the field decided they would reply to Senator Kerry as only military folks would. Their effort is represented in a picture that was all over the Internet but nowhere in the mainstream print media. The obvious question is, "Why was this widely available picture so blatantly ignored by newspapers and newsmagazines prior to a major election?"
I suggest there are five logically possible reasons:
Explanation 1.
All the editors and contributing journalists at all the nation's major newspapers simply hadn't seen the picture. If they hadn't seen it, surely it would have been unfair to expect them to print it. Of course, given the nature of the Internet and email, this explanation is possible only in the logical sense, much like the way it's logically possible that Bigfoot exists or that there's really a rotund gift-giver up North.
Explanation 2.
They saw the picture, but did not consider it newsworthy. This is surely the most charitable interpretation, and I hope it's the true one. Nonetheless, it speaks to a great incompetence in judging what is a good news story, deciding which stories demand a balanced perspective, and, most obviously, being able to understand the interests of the American public. Every person I showed this picture to found it highly entertaining and very newsworthy. Using the disconnect between the news editors and the American public as an excuse here seems like a dubious strategy for vindication given that it is essentially an appeal to ineptitude.
Explanation 3.
They saw the picture and considered it newsworthy, but didn't feel that the military personnel portrayed should be allowed to exercise their free speech rights in American newsprint. At the risk of being juvenilely obvious, I would think that of all people our servicemen and women are entitled to the greatest regard for their views. Unless, that is, the newspaper editors all agree with the original content of Senator Kerry's comments and were afraid that the people in the picture did not realize they were misspelling so many words.
Explanation 4.

It is Friday afternoon and although I had completed the puzzle earlier, I just now understood about the last entry, after reading Gary P , 9/16, 9:58 a.m. I was afraid that it was some tv or movie reference that I would never get, having to do with treasure hunting! Thank you so much, Gary P and also Patrick Berry. Very enjoyable puzzle.
I had initially written down "outliers" (although "outlines was a close second) till I read some of the posts above and realized that I didn't need the extrusion. Great new puzzle type.
Oh, never mind. Got it.
Can't figure out first word of 13C. Second I know is "bar". Any help?
Judith/Puzzled/gary p (and anyone who thought there had to be an extension at the bottom of 13C) - if it didn't violate the 3-5 letter extrusion rule, I would vote for STANDING

Ground-Based and Airborne (PMS 2-D Probe Canister-Mounted) 183 GHz Water Vapor Radiometer
|Pazmany, Andrew
|ProSensing Inc.
Category: Instruments
ProSensing Inc. has developed a G-band (183 GHz, 1.5 mm wavelength) water vapor radiometer (GVR) for the measurement of low concentrations of atmospheric water vapor and liquid water. The instrument's precipitable water vapor measurement precision is approximately 0.01 mm in dry (<2 mm vapor column) conditions. The ground-based version of the instrument was first deployed at ProSensing's facility in Amherst, MA in February 2005, then at the North Slope of Alaska DOE ARM site in Barrow AK in April 2005, where it has been continuously operating since. An airborne version, designed to operate from a standard PMS 2-D probe canister, is now being tested. Key System Parameters: ·Four double sideband channels at 183.31 +- 1, +-3 +-7 and +-14 GHz ·Noise temperature: 1750K (1 GHz), 1610K (3 GHz), 1600K (7 GHz) and 2170K (14 GHz) ·Integrated hot (~350 K) and warm (~300 K) calibration loads ·Measurement precision (NEDT): 0.2K with 500 ms averaging time ·Measurement stability (Allan STD): <0.05 K over 1000 seconds ·Antenna: 4" reflector with offset scalar feed, 2 deg. beamwidth ·All-weather operation with a radome and a 500 CFM Blower and Hood (ground-based) ·Designed to operation from a standard PMS 2-D probe canister (airborne) ·Temperature range tested in an environmental chamber from -45 to +10 C (airborne has not been tested) This poster will describe details of the ground-based and airborne GVR designs and calibration, and will present examples of brightness temperature measurements and retrieved integrated water vapor and liquid water collected at the ProSensing facility in Amherst, MA and at the North Slope of Alaska DOE ARM site in Barrow AK. At this meeting, Cadeddu will present an analysis of the GVR Barrow data and comparisons of the retrieved precipitable water vapor and cloud liquid water with values from other sensors. Temperature and water vapor profiling improvements with combined GVR and microwave radiometer data will be presented by Liljegren et al. References: Cadeddu, M., P., J. C. Liljegren, and A. L.

As Avalanche players came onto the ice one by one Wednesday, defenseman Jan Hejda was nowhere to be seen, even after the last person usually on the ice for a practice — coach Patrick Roy — was there. Then, suddenly, Hejda appeared.
Thus, worries of Hejda missing a second consecutive day of practice with an upper-body injury were eliminated and, more important, the veteran defenseman will be in the Avs' lineup for Game 1 of a Western Conference playoff series Thursday night at the Pepsi Center against the Minnesota Wild.
"I'm happy with this result," the Czech Republic native said after practice. "I was finally feeling good to go on the ice. I didn't skate for three days, so this was really my issue."
Hejda, who will be 36 in June, averaged 22 minutes, 20 seconds of ice time in 78 games for the Avs, second only to Erik Johnson's 23 minutes. Hejda left Sunday's season finale at Anaheim in pain after absorbing a slap shot and didn't return, then missed Tuesday's practice.
"When we got back from the trip and we had a day off the next day, I started feeling better. (Tuesday) we decided to take a day off, but I had a workout," Hejda said. "This series is going to be a battle. They're going to be a danger around the net, so we have to play our game in the D zone. If we play our game, I think we have a big chance to win."
Sakic upbeat. Avalanche executive vice president of hockey operations Joe Sakic met the media Wednesday, and the excitement in his voice was evident over the team being back in the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
"It's going to be fun," Sakic said. "I'm very proud of this group and what they've done this year."
Sakic, the franchise's all-time leading scorer and a Hall of Famer, said there are parallels between this Avs squad and his early teams with the Quebec Nordiques. A few years of struggle eventually resulted in a championship team. But it wasn't easy.
"The guys last year, I knew what they were going through," he said. "I was on some teams where we had a tough time. But we were rebuilding and going in the right direction. It's a grind. The team that outlasts the rest of them is going to win.
" I know this is a group that wants more. We're all shooting for the Stanley Cup. Every single team is hoping they're playing for two months. But you're going to have adverse times in the playoffs.
"The biggest thing is to stick to your game, stick to what you know and stay resilient. No matter if it's a great win or a terrible game, you've got to wake up the next morning and know there's a new game, probably one that's more important than the previous game."
Footnotes. Unlike in some previous seasons, Avalanche players will not be staying in a hotel at home in the playoffs. The Avs, along with other teams in the past, occasionally had a hotel available for players, if they wanted, to cut down on distractions. ... Some players, including Gabe Landeskog and Patrick Bordeleau, already are sporting good growth on playoff beards. Others, such as Nick Holden, are remaining cleanshaven. And some, such as Ryan O'Reilly and Max Talbot, have worn beards all season. Adrian Dater, The Denver Post

He didn't just give us his stimulus bill on the heels of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which he decried despite having his fingerprints all over it. He loaded his omnibus spending bill with earmarks after promising he'd radically reduce them, took over auto companies, crammed through socialized medicine and pushed through a staggeringly problematic financial reform bill that further empowered the government to engage in the same types of tyranny that led to all this. Though he failed to pass his cap-and-trade measure, his Environmental Protection Agency has engaged in a systematic pattern of circumventing Congress to impose further smothering regulations on American businesses.
Despite his profound incompetence on many levels, Obama has been an adept propagandist who has blamed capitalism for problems caused and magnified by socialist remedies to justify further socialist solutions. He's now doing the same thing all over again as his new socialist solutions are failing.
Obama not only eschews responsibility for his primary role in the nation's economic and debt catastrophes but also is using class warfare to foment unrest in his malcontent leftist base and marshaling union thug muscle to attach a veneer of authenticity to Occupy Wall Street, a largely AstroTurf-like phenomenon. Indeed, Obama practically expressed common cause with the protesters at his recent presser and certainly did nothing to calm their ostensible fears.
To appreciate the surreal nature of Occupy Wall Street, you have to watch a few video interviews of some of the protesters and review a laundry list of their complaints. These misguided people are like probation violators castigating their probation officers for catering to their pleas for leniency.
They are taking up all the popular causes of liberalism as they protest against problems spawned by those very causes. They shake their fists at Wall Street, banks, corporations and the wealthy "1 percent," which had little to do with our national nightmare. But they give a complete pass to government and even demand that it be given more power to further destroy what still does work in America.
Nothing illustrates their collective cluelessness more than their fulminating against the national debt while demanding a redoubling of the policies and programs that caused it and will make it immeasurably worse.
Obama is laughing all the way to the evil bank, hoping he can continue to capitalize on this very type of chaos and class envy to eke out re-election in 2012. Obama's protesters are occupying Wall Street while he is occupying America.

Penne with 5 Cheeses
Penne with 5 cheeses is one of my favorite dishes yet I rarely make it. I don't really know why other than the fact that I never have all 5 cheeses on hand when I am figuring out what to make for dinner. The recipe comes from one of my all time fav food network stars – Ina Garten
- salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes in thick tomato puree
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/2 cup shredded Italian fontina
- 1/4 cup crumbled Italian Gorgonzola
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1/4 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 pound penne rigate pasta
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and bring a large pot of water to boil. Then combine all the ingredients except the penne and butter in a large mixing bowl and mix together.
- Add the penne to the water and cook for about 5 minutes - or until al dente. Drain well in a colander and add to the ingredients in the mixing bowl, tossing to combine. Then transfer the mixture to a large dish and bake in the oven for about 10 -15 minutes or until the cheese becomes a golden brown on top!

Posted 10/16/2013
Hey I have the same problem I'm 10 days late I have period pains and been feeling sick. To day my head feels a bit strange. Did a test last night and it was neg ? So confused if I am or not would I have got my period by now x
tbaebee · Original Poster
Posted 02/16/2014
I'm sorry I haven't been on in a while!! But no I just skipped my period): I've skipped three periods within the last year so I'm hoping that it's just stress..
Posted 02/16/2014
I had the same problem. I didn't have a period for 3 months due to stress. I had taken multiple urine and blood tests which were all negetive. Thought I was finally getting it when the cramps started though after a few weeks of them I found out I was pregnant (decided to test after smelling a bacon sandwich made sick and got a positive)

some points are important to respect:
-it's compulsory to respect the neighbors and the quietness of the building: do not make too much noise after 10PM or before 8am. Do not set appointment/stand/seat/stay/discuss in the lobby or in the stairs but do it in the apartment or outside the building.
-take care of the apartment and its equipment as if it was your own: as it's a private flat, and not an hotel, we filled the apartment with nice antiques, arty stuff, pretty bed linens and new appliances that need to be handle with care.
-Do not throw anything outside (cigarettes, papers, ...)
No cleaning fee is charged, we recommend daily maintenance of the place - which include taking care of garbage regularly and the respect of the furniture: no wet towels left on any piece of furniture outside the bathroom, etc. We kindly ask you to leave the apartment in an acceptable level of cleanliness (no stains/fat/garbage on the floor/fridge/worktops/furnitures/walls) , bath/sinks/toilets must be left clean, no dirty dishes should be left, etc.). We expect the bed linen to be remove and folded on the beds with towels to be cleaned, and all the garbage to be put in the container downstairs. Garbage in a bag into the green container. Thanks for your understanding.
Guest Access
parking Vinci - Face au n°8 avenue Foch
75116 Paris - 5 min walk from the building - 3.70€/hour or 36€/day to park. With a bit of patience, you can find parking slot right in front of building but payment must be done every 2 hours from 9am to 6pm.
Interaction with Guests
My wife and I are working full time. We cannot be available during hours worked but we answer email as quickly as possible and we can be available before 9am or after 7pm.
The Neighborhood
- friendly convenience store below for last-minute needs
- street parking
- 1 block from supermarket, bakery, butcher and 2 blocks from cheese shop
Getting Around
There are different ways to reach the apartment but the most convenient way is by car as it will drop you in front of the apartment:
1.Our guests highly recommended the use of shuttle , waiting for you at the arrival, very convenient (no more taxi line) and good deal: for instance to come from Airport count 65€ for 1-2 persons; 75€ for 3-4; 85€ for 5-6 and 135€ for 5-7 personnes in prestige service (see www.(URL HIDDEN) or (EMAIL HIDDEN)
2.Taxi will cost approximately 60/90€ depending of the traffic jam and the luggage. Taxi takes no more than 4 person unless it is a "maxi cab".
3.Cars AirFrance (bus) (URL HIDDEN) : From Charles de Gaulle, Line 2 ( 17€/p one way or 29€/p two way ticket). The bus stop is "Etoile": (URL HIDDEN) (have a look with street view: the bus is on the picture!).
4. Metro is almost in front of building, it is station "Argentine" on Line 1. Not direct from the airport.
Other Things to Note
Regarding checkin and checkout time we are flexible if the apartment is free before arrival or after departure.
If the apartment is not free before arrival, checkin time will start from 3pm. If the apartment is not free after departure, checkout time will be before noon. thanks for your understanding
Following neighbors complains, I no longer accept too early/late checkin/checkout (between midnight and 8am) because the movement of people with luggage is too noisy. Thanks for your understanding
Minimum renting : 4 nights.
I'll ask you to provide for a copy of your ID for 2 reasons:
1) I'm concerned about safety and I need to be sure that the right people get inside my apartment (once, it was not the same person that booked the apartment and that checked in :-0 )
2) French government requests to prove that i rent my apartment and to who. To do so, I need a copy of your ID.
As a host but also as a guest (I rented myself apartment for my holidays), I prefer to remind you the principle of renting a private apartment through Airbnb : this is not a hotel.
It is a real advantage because it is, in our opinion, the best way to experience rich tourism and feel the "personality" of a city/area. It's also less expensive to stay together in a large space with a tasteful decor and beautiful furnishings and many facilities means.
The principle is that you feel like "at home". However, this obviously brings some constraints:
-you must respect the apartment and the neighbours like in your own home : objects and furniture are fragile if you do not use them gently.
-You must behave to not annoy your "new" neighbors.
-When leaving the apartment, please leave it as if you leave your own apartment before leaving on vacation ;-)
-And enjoy the fun of discovering a new way of living: yes, our faucets will probably not work like yours but that's part of the charm of homestay :-)
At last but not least, we cannot provide a concierge service 24/7 because we work the day or we are on vacation. We will do our best to help you during your stay and we thank you in advance for your patience.
In summary here are the most important to respect rules during your stay (besides, of course, taking pleasure in Paris and in our apartment) :
DO NOT MAKE NOISE AFTER 10PM or BEFORE 8AM. No checkin/out in the night and if you wake up in the night because of jetlag, please respect your neighbours' sleep (they work in the morning).
DO NOT STAY IN THE BUILDING COMMON PARTS (lobby, stairs, courtyard, etc.) Many neighbours are senior people who do not feel comfortable with crowd and suitcase piles in the stairs!
DO NOT THROW ANYTHING BY WINDOWS (cigarettes, papers, ...)
LARGE PARTIES & ANY EVENTS ARE PROHIBITED. Guests are not allowed to invite visitors over unless host has been informed and has agreed.
The no respect of one of the 4 points above would force me to cancel your reservation and shorten your stay in my apartment.
AS FOR CAR RENTAL, THIS APARTMENT IS PROVIDED READY TO USE. Any amenities, appliances, and features promised at the time of booking is available and operational at your arrival, unless special notice. We also provide fresh bedding and towels, soap, and toilet paper upon your arrival. Any amenities, appliances, and features not working, or broken or disappeared after your stay will be charged on your deposit.
CLEANING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY UNLESS YOU ASKED FOR SUPPORT. No cleaning fee is charged, we recommend daily maintenance of the place - which includes taking care of garbage regularly and the respect of the furniture: no wet towels left on any piece of furniture outside the bathroom, etc. We kindly ask you to leave the apartment in an acceptable level of cleanliness :
- no stains, fat on the floor, in the fridge, on the worktops, on any furniture or walls,
- bath and sinks and toilets must be left clean,
- no dirty dishes should be left, etc.
- We expect the bed linen to be remove and folded on the beds with towels to be cleaned
- all the garbage should be put in the container downstairs.
The no respect of the points above will be charged 100€ minimum on your deposit.
Thanks for your understanding

My question is...how do you explain the hemangioma to them as they get older? My DD noticed hers on her shoulder around 2 and the kids at school started pointing to it "owie" around 2. By 3 she would want to pull her dress over it when someone said something about it.
I feel bad that kids even at 2 bother her about it and most parents don't touch the subject of how kids are different at such a young age (I had one parent of a friend gasp and say "what is that on her shoulder, does it hurt (really loud so she heard). I know it wasn't intended to be rude but she is so sensitive about it I wish they had done it quietly when she wasn't there.
Anyhow, I was having this discussion with a girlfriend who's son has some very bad scars from major surgery after birth and asking how they dealt with the comments. Of course now in the summer it's worse because her shoulders are showing most of the time. I know that a lot of them are on the face as well and I know that would be really tough.
So how does everyone explain to their children (or plan to) and deal with it at school?

Mike Dargas was born in 1983 in Cologne and he responsible for these huge photo realistic oil paintings. They are so good, at first when I saw the photos of him painting on the canvases they confused me a bit, because I didn't realise how big they actually were. I can't believe how much detail and accuracy goes into each one. You would think on a bigger scale it would be more obvious that they were paintings and not photographs, but that is not the case. They are so well done they almost bring tears to my eyes.
Shih Yung-ChunMarch 13, 2015
Check out these absolutely bizarre, but really interesting paintings by Taipei based artist Shih Yung-Chun.
– Shih Yung-Chun paints surreal re-imaginings of everyday scenes, where adults occupy themselves with strange activities like bored kids creating their own games during summer vacation. Puppets, dolls, animals, and figurines are recurring motifs in Shih's world, which seems believable yet slightly off balance. The Taipei-based artist inserts autobiographical snippets in many of the paintings: Some of his scenes are set in his own house and he and his white French bulldog make occasional appearances. Shih has referred to his works as "soap operas," hinting at their highly fictionalised nature. Take a look at some of his work below.
Ali CavanaughJanuary 21, 2015
Came across this painter named Ali Cavanaugh on on The Jealous Curator. How lovely are these pieces? She describes her process below, so have a little read and then a look see, they're great.
Kirsten TradowskyDecember 15, 2014
This is the work of American based artist Kirsten Tradowsky. Her paintings are her way of travelling back in time to another space and time, for inspiration she collects old photos and visits places that are slowly being engulfed by the new world.
I think her work is great, it makes me feel like I'm paging through an old family album made up of memories of a world that has long since been forgotten.
Nina Torr – Again and AgainDecember 10, 2014
Nina Torr is one of my all time, most favourite South African artists. I own a couple of her pieces and a few weeks ago I got to add to my collection. Nina had a solo exhibition called Again and Again, which consisted of a series of gouache paintings which came together to form a large cyclorama around the gallery – I have never seen a show like that before, it was so amazing.
Emily Jane LongNovember 21, 2014

What I didn't know was that Shane had also secretly commissioned another brilliant local South African artist, Emily Jane Long to create a piece of art for me as a gift. It was so awesome when we both pulled out these 2 flat wrapped gifts and almost immediately we both realised what they were.

Isosingular loci and the Cartesian product structure of complex analytic singularities
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Let X be a (not necessarily reduced) complex analytic space, and let V be a germ of an analytic space. The locus of points q in X at which the germ is complex analytically isomorphic to V is studied. If it is nonempty it is shown to be a locally closed submanifold of X, and X is locally a Cartesian product along this submanifold. This is used to define what amounts to a coarse partial ordering of singularities. This partial ordering is used to show that there is an essentially unique way to completely decompose an arbitrary reduced singularity as a cartesian product of lower dimensional singularities. This generalizes a result previously known only for irreducible singularities.
