Much more than I expected. Excellent instructions which made a fun and safe day. A lot of white water rapids.
What an amazing time we had on our white water rafting adventure with Wild Waters Outdoor Center!!My children are 24,22 and 19 ,they each brought someone so we had 8 adults plus our awesome guide Matt in our raft. We requested him per suggestions from Trip Advisor and I would highly recommend requesting him,although all the guides seem great. We had an amazing day. Lunch and dinner were great and the scenery along the river was breathtaking. We bought the CD of our photos which also were great. It was a special family day that we'll remember for a long time!!
My husband and I went rafting on the Hudson for the day and had a blast. Our guide Jamie was the best. She was very entertaining and did an excellent job guiding us down the river. The food after the trip was amazing. I really didn't expect it to be so good, but it was awesome. We did meet up with other rafting companies and was so glad that I chose Wild Waters there equipment was in much better condition than the other companies and the PFD looked a lot better quality. Jamie made us all feel very comfortable and really wanted to get to know us. The rapids were fun and there was some definate adventure on the river. I think this company wants to make sure you have a fun and SAFE trip. They checked and double checked our PFD to make sure that we were all secure. I would definately would go again.
I've gone WWR with Wild Waters 3 times now and their staff are always awesome. They have a good stretch of the hudson to go down starting on the Indian river. Good rapids. They provide a good lunch and dinner. I hear their overnight trips are cool too.
The Sacandaga river is a short and fun rafting trip to do on your own or with family. The rapids themselves are mostly Class II, with very little Class III. Nothing too scary, and the guides seemed very competent in case there was any trouble. Do not go on this trip expecting crazy rapids. The guides are what made this trip a lot of fun… they initiated water fights with other boats and let us have some "swim time" in a particularly calm area of the river. They provided good instructions and jokes on the bus ride there. I would recommend this trip for someone looking for fun and a little bit of adventure, without exhausting your entire day.The whole trip takes about 2 hours – 20 minute bus ride to the falls, 1 hour of rafting, 20 minute bus ride back, and 20 minutes for loading/unloading. They ask that you come half an hour early to sign waivers and grab your gear. The day we went, the bus was packed to capacity, so I would definitely recommend calling and making a reservation before you actually head out. If you have watershoes bring them, or you will end up buying their overpriced ones. Bring a change of clothes. You can leave everything in your car and they will hold the key for you. They also have a photographer taking pictures while you raft, which they sell for $25 on a CD.

I think you're oversimplifying her character. Yes, she's had some moments of entitlement, but she can't be fully blamed for that; it's the way she was brought up. Again, she's no longer the put-upon trophy Stepford wife of the first 2 seasons. She finally started to grow a pair when she started discovering Don's womanizing ways, as well as his secret identity. Frankly, Don had it coming. He truly was a smug prick those first 3 seasons. Fortunately, his divorce seemed to have knocked him down a few pegs last season... though part of me still kind of wishes he'd stayed with Faye.
I still feel that deep down Betty definitely wants something more out of life and wants to break out of the stereotypical '50s/'60s housewife mold in which she finds herself, but she still doesn't really know how to do it.

Minutes before two San Francisco police officers shot to death 25-year-old Asa Sullivan, their colleagues urged them to back off and call a hostage negotiator, newly released documents show.
Twice, cops on the scene suggested that officers Michelle Alvis and John Keesor back away from the Parkmerced attic where Sullivan was pinned down.
Recently released court records shed considerable new light on the June 6, 2006, shooting that ended with the unarmed Sullivan dead, his body raked by 16 bullets.
The records offer a narrative account of the early moments of an episode that's taken a bizarre series of twists since Alvis and Keesor, saying they feared for their lives, killed the troubled young man who'd been working at Goodwill and had a young son.
The police communications log portrays a tense situation:
"Stand by, he's gonna be a 148, stand by," San Francisco police officer Paulo Morgado says into his radio. Section 148 of the state Penal Code is radio vernacular for resisting arrest.
Moments pass before an unidentified officer makes an appeal over the air for a retreat. "Hey, why don't we just pull back really quick, set up a perimeter, and just try to get him later?"
Instead, Alvis announces that she has Sullivan at gunpoint. "He's not going anywhere," she says. He won't show his hands or allow himself to be taken into custody, Alvis and Morgado say into their radios.
Minutes tick by. Sullivan is warned that a dog from the K-9 unit will bite him. Officer Erik Leung, on the floor below the attic, makes a second attempt at reason. "Why don't we slow it down, see if we can get a hostage negotiator or something, because this guy's not listening to us."
Then, "He has something under the insulation," a dispatcher types just as the K-9 unit arrives.
"Shots fired, shots fired!" yells Sgt. Tracy McCray. Alvis and Keesor empty their magazines, plugging as many as 26 rounds into the attic, with 16 hitting the target.
Sullivan had no gun, it turned out. An eyeglasses case was later found near his hip, but Alvis admits she didn't wait to see what was in his right hand after Sullivan made a "sudden movement."
Reams of court records detailing the shooting became available earlier this month as evidence in a lawsuit filed by Sullivan's family.
Early motions in the family's federal suit, which names the city and county of San Francisco, Police Chief Heather Fong, and officers present when the shooting took place, were filed under seal. But some evidence previously marked confidential has emerged among publicly accessible court documents as the parties move toward an October trial date.
The records include transcripts of audio dispatch recordings, sworn depositions and declarations from the officers, reports from law enforcement policy experts, and photographs of the attic where the shooting occurred.
"The evidence is pretty strong [that] Asa did not point anything at the officers, that the officers had no reason to believe Asa was armed," the family's Oakland lawyer, Ben Nisenbaum, told the Guardian.
A former deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department hired as a consultant by the family's lawyers argues in a report filed with the court that the officers exacerbated the situation by using repeated sharp commands and didn't rely on proper diffusing tactics with a subject they knew was distressed and had a diminished capacity. The attic placed them at a tactical disadvantage, and there's no logical reason why the officers didn't pull away from it, notes the report by consultant Lou Reiter.
"Their presence in the manner they chose to deploy it simply invaded the zone of safety for Sullivan," Reiter's report states. "This is known to further agitate the subject in these types of police encounters.

Amazing place! Our host was so friendly, always offered us tea &cakes. Good sized breakfast. Wifi is perfect. Kitchen is good for cooking own meals. Very secure, get a key for both the front door &your room. Little out of the town centre, but buses are so cheap &come every few minutes. (The town centre wouldn't be nice to stay in anyway). Easy walk to Paseo 21 de Mayo (beautiful view and one of the oldest funiculars in the city). From there can walk to cerro concepcion&main sights. Gracias!

What will be happening 10^(trillion) years from now?
Sorry if this is posted in a wrong section.
It depends on whether the proton is stable or not.
Are there people who study the history and future of the universe... and are those people called cosmologists?
Yes and yes. :)
Here's a link to the wikipedia page about cosmological decades:
It's known that these particles wont' ever merge again?
Are asking specifically about 10^1,000,000,000,000 years from now or are you asking about the end state configuration of the universe? I'll assume the later...
Everything that is not gravitationally bound together will move apart until our local super-group of galaxies is alone in the observable universe. As the stuff in our local super-group continues to orbit around the orbits will gradually decay until all the mater in the observable universe is contained in a single super-massive black hole.
This black hole will radiate. Most of the particles produced will eventually fall back in but some will have enough velocity to get far enough away that cosmic expansion takes over and removes them from the observable universe, this continues until the black hole has completely evaporated.
The end state is that every fundamental particle in existence is alone in it's observable universe.
At least that's my understanding.
Interesting, I was though asking specifically 10^1,000,000,000,000 years from now.
If the proton does not decay, there may still be some neutron stars and black dwarfs left in the universe at that time. In about 10^10^76 years though, they may quantum tunnel into black holes which would eventually evaporate, leaving a similar end state to that there would be if the proton did decay (every fundamental particle in existence being alone in it's observable universe). It would just take longer for the universe to get there than if the proton did decay.
A strange time period to single out. Any reason why?
Double exponential notation means you can write that as 10^10^12 which is a bit easier to do.
Quite incredible to realise that nothing, not even the entire universe lasts for ever. A Concidental reminder as today I start my 5th decade..
Thanks Jonny, I hope I get to celebrate many more!

Article: Self-assessment of the quality of vision: Assosciation of questionnaire score with objective clinical tests[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the association of a quality of life-visual function questionnaire with an objective clinical test of visual function. We have developed a questionnaire to assess self-reported visual satisfaction in ophthalmic patients suffering from chronic eye conditions causing visual impairment. The questionnaire was administered to 120 patients suffering from age-related cataract, chronic open angle glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, branch retinal vein occlusion, and presbyopia or minor refractive defects. All the participants also underwent determination of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, glare, and visual field. The questionnaire has a good reproducibility, a high internal consistency, and is able to discriminate between the different groups of patients. The total questionnaire score is significantly associated with the results of all visual function tests with the exception of glare. When entered into a multiple linear regression model, near visual acuity and contrast sensitivity are still considerably associated with the total questionnaire score. The psychological attitude of the patient towards his/her health problem is also associated with the total average score. Overall, the model explains 49% of the variance in the average questionnaire score.
Article: An independent evaluation of the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) cataract grading system.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess intra- and interobserver reproducibility of the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) system for grading lens opacities and to provide data on its capacity to reliably detect changes in lens status. Independent and replicate grading of 40 sets of lens photographs (one slit-lamp and two retroillumination photographs) were performed by three experienced observers. Patients were participants in the Collaborative Italian-American Clinical Trial of Nutritional Supplements which is testing the effect of a mineral-multivitamin supplement on age-related cataract (CTNS). Scatterplots and intraclass correlation were used to assess measurement error. Analysis revealed good intra- and interobserver reproducibility of the system. Greatest intraobserver measurement error showed 100% of pairs within 10% areal difference for cortical cataract, 97.5% within 15% areal difference for posterior subcapsular cataract, and 100% within 1 density unit difference for nuclear opacity. Greatest interobserver measurement error showed 95% of pairs within 10% areal difference for cortical cataract, 97.5% within 15% areal difference for posterior subcapsular cataract, and 97.5% within 1.5 density unit difference for nuclear opacity. The AREDS lens opacities grading system appears to be sufficiently reliable to detect changes of at least 10% areal involvement for cortical, 15% areal involvement for posterior subcapsular, and 1.0 units for nuclear opacities. It therefore seems sufficiently sensitive to adequately monitor progression of lens opacities in a longitudinal study of patients with early cataract. Its applicability in a population with advanced or complex mixed opacities must await further testing.
Article: The Topcon SP 1000 and Image-NET Systems: A Comparison of Four Methods for Evaluating Corneal Endothelial Gell Density[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to compare four methods of counting corneal endothelial cell density using the Topcon SP 1000 microscope and Image-NET digital graphic software. Two independent observers quantified cell density from 63 endothelial photomicrographs using the various standardized techniques. The first method was that suggested for use with Topcon SP 1000, employing five different reference grids to compare subjectively with the endothelial cell density of the unknown sample. The other three methods involved the automated, semiautomated, and manual procedures developed for use with the Image-NET system software. The manual Image-NET system is presently considered to yield accurate cell morphology data. Confidence limits and standard errors of mean differences between values obtained by different methods were used to evaluate agreement and reproducibility of computerized methods. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for two different threshold limits of endothelial cell density. Results showed that the automated Image-NET system is not reliable for clinical use because of its poor agreement with other methods and its lack of sensitivity and specificity at the selected threshold limits of endothelial cell density. The comparative Topcon method of using reference grids, although inexpensive and accurate for 500 cell/mm2 increments, was considered too imprecise for most clinical situations. The semiautomated Image-NET system, in half the analysis time required by the manual method, provided endothelial cell count estimates that were not clinically different from those obtained with manual counting.

Article: Decrease of intraocular pressure after subconjunctival injection of mitomycin in human glaucoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the effects of a subconjunctival injection of mitomycin on the intraocular pressure in human eyes affected by glaucoma. Consecutive case series, prospective study, intraocular pairwise comparison (paired samples Student's t test adopted). Hospital-based glaucoma clinic. Twelve consecutive patients with bilateral glaucoma and monolateral blindness, intraocular pressure greater than 30 mm Hg in the blind eye (mean of the two highest values of the diurnal curve, confirmed at 96-hour interval), and no previous bulbar surgery. Subconjunctival injection of 0.5 mL of 0.2% mitomycin in the upper temporal quadrant, preceded and followed by treatment with topical indomethacin. Analysis of the variance of the mean intraocular pressure before and after the injection of mitomycin in each eligible eye. An intraocular pressure decrease was observed in each eligible eye the day after the treatment (mean [+/- SD] decrease, 7.15 +/- 1.46 mm Hg). The effect was still detectable at the end of the 60 days of follow-up (mean [+/- SD] decrease, 5.67 +/- 1.61 mm Hg). No change of intraocular pressure, in the meantime, was observed in the fellow eye. Topically applied mitomycin induces a decrease of intraocular pressure in human glaucomatous eyes. Our data confirm previous results obtained in albino rabbits and support the hypothesis that mitomycin exerts a still unknown direct effect on aqueous humor dynamics in the eye.

This debut novel won the 2009 Christian Writers Guild's Operation First Novel contest. The characters are amazing. They seem completely real, with their insecurities, their faith and their convictions. It is refreshing to see a character follow through on a promise to a person who was hanged.
Preacher Michael Archer is a man who keeps his word. He promised Ben Carstairs that he would locate his father. It is the least Michael can do; he knew Ben was innocent of the crimes he was convicted of, there just was not enough evidence to prove it before Ben was hanged. Sam Carstairs is a hard man, driven by demons that no one knows about. When he receives a note stating that it's time for him to pay off his debt, he is fearful for his life. When Sam is kidnapped, Michael joins in the search party to help locate him and to deliver his message no matter what the cost. Will Michael be successful in his mission or will he and the search party be too late to save another man's life? (TYNDALE, Feb., 292 pp., $12.99)

but Nintendo had to have been breathing down their necks about a 3DS game since the 3DS was released.
Unlikely in the grand scheme of things. Remember that the games do belong tho Gamefreak, and that Nintendo's role in it is really nothing more than a publisher, they determine whether or not a certain Pokemon game made by GF gets their stamp of approval and therefore gets made on their system.
That said though, I agree that X/Y came at a rather surprising time, but I'm not necessarily complaining about it at all. Let's be frank here: Unova was getting stale, at least for me, it was. The storyline surrounding Ghetsis was cool at first, but it just got old after a while, and after B/W, it sort of lost it's taste, which is why I'm excited about X/Y in the first place. It feels like a breath of fresh air, something that GF tried to accomplish with Gen 5 but didn't really succeed all that much(subjective, I know, but this is my two cents).
A lot of people have argued that Gen 5 feels rushed, but I don't get it, whats rushed about it? What questions are there to be left answered? B2/W2 have pretty much filled any remaining plots that are left, so I really don't understand what needs to be answered in the remaining 5th gen games to appease fans. Yes, Ghetsis vanished as soon as you beat him in B2/W2(whoops, spoiler, but whaever), but what there is more to do after that? You have the storyline surrounding Reshiram and Zekrom finished, and Kyurem was just the last piece of the puzzle, so it seems pretty finished to me. Was the actual
rushed and showed sings of some sloppy footwork? That depends on who you ask, but that isn't the point of this thread, and I don't think there's really anything from Gen V that could be answered in Gen VI. In short, Gen V is really done for, and X/Y couldn't have come at a better time.
Frozen in soul, Fiery in heart.

Good news for the haters, when Microsoft said it reimagined Windows, it also reimagined what the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) should look like, which means Windows 8 isn't immune to crashing. If you think about it, it's kind of comforting in a way. After all, what would Windows be without a BSoD revealing what went wrong? You could answer "Linux," or even "Mac OS X" if you're trying to start a flame war, but we won't go there.
As much as we all hate getting a BSoD, they're actually pretty helpful if you know how to decipher them . They're also a little intimidating, despite the use of the color blue, which studies show have a relaxing effect on people. It appears Microsoft wants them to be even less frightening in Windows 8.
Pocket-Lint.com posted a screenshot of what it says is the new BSoD for Windows 8. There's a giant frownie face emoticon in the upper left, followed a message that reads: "Your PC ran into a problem that it couldn't handle, and now it needs to restart."
The type of error is displayed -- for example, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION -- followed by a countdown clock, at the end of which Windows 8 will restart.
What do you think of the new BSoD? Do you find it to be better or worse than previous versions, or are you indifferent?

Stocks closed lower on Wednesday as investors continued to fret over political instability in Greece, sending the Dow Jones industrial average to its sixth straight decline.
The Dow closed at 12,835.06, down 97.03 points or 0.8 per cent. Over the past six sessions, the blue-chip index has fallen a total of 3.4 per cent. The broader S&P 500 closed at 1354.58, down 9.14 points or 0.7 per cent – hitting a two-month low. In Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index closed at 11,675.01, down 29.73 points or 0.3 per cent.
The ugly situation in Europe continues to raise the level of anxiety among investors. In Greece, political talks have failed to form a coalition government after weekend elections, raising fears that an anti-austerity backlash in the country will force it out of the euro zone, with potentially unsettling consequences for everyone.
Despite earlier concerns that the euro zone was about to cut off Greece from financial assistance – earlier cash has helped keep the country from sliding into a messy default – the European Financial Stability Facility did agree on Wednesday to forward most of the previously agreed financing. The news helped ease some of the pressure on stocks. The Dow, for example, had been down more than 180 points in earlier trading.
However, bond yields continued to reflect concerns in the euro zone. In particular, the yield on Spain's 10-year government bond surged above 6 per cent, hitting its highest level of the year and raising concerns about the country's ability to meet higher borrowing costs. There, the banking system is in crisis following a collapse of the real estate market.
Meanwhile, investors turned to the usual havens: German and U.S. government bonds. The yield on Germany's 10-year bond approached a record low of close to 1.5 per cent, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond retreated to 1.83 per cent.
Gold was no haven, falling to $1,594.20 (U.S.) an ounce, down $10.30. However, Canadian gold producers rebounded from earlier losses: Barrick Gold Corp. rose 2.6 per cent and Goldcorp Inc. rose 3.5 per cent.

As you can see, the Kanji are less decorative than mine (I dunno, I kinda liked the wrapping effect that I did, but it's his skin). Full view is recommended, as well as some comparison to the original. I wish they coulda captured the finer details with ink, but the guy was a shakey smoker, so whaddya expect?

Respond to Review of Pure Lotus - Changhongqiao
by slo0go
Review: This place was well hidden, but when we found it, it was quite breathtaking. When you walk into the immediately impressive entrance, a hostess pours rose-scented water over your hands. This restaurant is very elaborately decorated. There was a Buddhist cartoon on a loop playing on a huge movie screen on the back wall. We dined to tunes sung by Josh Groban. The staff didn't really speak English, which is fine, but it was a bit annoying; it took us a while to figure this out because they nodded at everything we said even though they didn't understand. The menu was HUGE! It was so long and ridiculous. The dishes had very long, poetic names. My boyfriend and I had fun choosing what we wanted to eat. We decided on soy steaks and potatoes (the potatoes turned out to be french fries, really), a small soup, black truffle noodles, and a casserole of taro, pine nuts, and veggies. The steaks, soup, and taro bowl were spectacular, but I can't say as much for the truffle noodles. I didn't really want to order those, but reluctantly acquiesced because my boyfriend really wanted to try black truffles (he had never had them before). When they finally came out, we were horribly disappointed. We couldn't taste the black truffle at all, even though black truffles are known for being very flavorful. All we got was a bowl of greasy noodles. This place is quite pricey, but you pay more for the experience than for the food. I wouldn't say that the food was the best, but the experience was definitely unusual and fun. The place settings consist of lily pad place mats, flatware made out of oyster shells (though I don't think that's very vegan/animal friendly), and the chopsticks were topped with cloisonne. However, for the prices they were charging, I expected there to be a nicer, cleaner bathroom - you know, with toilets instead of squatty potties. Call me spoiled, I guess.

Everyone seems to be agreed that Arnold is no Ronald Reagan. Schwarzenegger is a social liberal on things like abortion but a fiscal conservative in the sense of knowing that you can't drive businesses and productive citizens out of the state without seeing the taxes they pay leave with them. This is not rocket science but it might as well be as far as left coast politicians are concerned.
The big problem is that, even if Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes governor, the state legislature will still be in the hands of liberal-left Democrats, who think that they can impose all sorts of regulations, red tape and ever higher taxes on businesses and productive citizens without worrying about who will leave the state.
What could a Governor Schwarzenegger do about that? He could veto reckless spending bills and -- more important -- use the bully pulpit of his veto messages to educate the public to what is going on and to the fact that there is no free lunch.
Although he would be stuck with filling out the remaining years of Gray Davis' term, he would not be stuck with the current state legislature for all that time, since there will be legislative elections during the governor's term. Educating the voter might affect those elections.
Some Republicans worry that California is in such a mess that there is little that anyone can do in three short years to turn things around, least of all a Republican governor with an overwhelmingly Democratic legislature. Those Republicans who think like this would prefer to leave the Democrats in charge, to stew in their own juices and be left totally discredited when the next elections come around.
It may be too close to call but I will vote for Arnold and hope for the best.

Get on the bus to the Minnesota Music Awards
P.O.S. (right) performs at the Minnesota Music Awards Wednesday, Sept. 22
Of course the MMAs are disorganized, but you can't argue with a good party. The last couple annual Minnies had great performances, Prince sightings, social mixing across genre lines, Vikings cheerleaders, etc., etc. I'm presenting the award for best pop band and pop recording this year, and plan to take the free bus ride (see below) Wednesday Sept. 22 from Gluek's in Minneapolis to the Red Carpet in St. Cloud (here are driving directions if you need them). The show goes from 7:30 p.m. to midnight in a venue you should check out in any case.

|Silverfin Craze Spec Sheet: ASIAN CARP
Silverfin Craze, LLC
Silverfin Craze, LLC is a company focused on the conservation of the United States inshore fisheries and environment while providing a wild caught domestic fish resource to millions of consumers worldwide.
Asian Carp
Asian carp are non native fish species that were imported in the early 70's. Since then, they have escaped into our major rivers and now are sustainably harvested for Human consumption.Our Southern States provide a very unique environment all year around for our fresh water fisheries. With the abundance of nutrients in our vast waterways, Asian Carp from the Gulf Coast area are simply better, bigger and healthier than those found in any other part of the United States. In addition, the natural temperate climate allows commercial fisheries to operate all year.Chef Philippe Parola describes the taste of Asian carp, both Silver and Bighead, as as cross between crabmeat and scallops!
Nutritional Value of Asian Carp
Chef Philippe Parola recently spent some time with Nutrition Consultant, Roy Brabham, M.D.. Here is what Dr. Brabham had to say about Asian carp as a food source:
"I consider Asian Carp to be an excellent food source for a number of reasons. Like all fish, it delivers a lot of protein and healthy fats. Unlike ocean fish, sustainability is not an issue with Asian Carp. It is plentiful in central American waterways. It feeds on plankton, which is at the bottom of the food chain. This means that progressive food chain concentration of harmful chemicals, such as dioxin and PCB's, and heavy metals, such as mercury, does not occur in Asian Carp like it does in carnivorous/omnivorous fish. Some would argue that farm raised fish like catfish and tilapia avoid the food chain accumulation of toxic substances but this is not necessarily the case, as such farmed fish are typically fed fish-meal derived from fish that are subject to these kinds of contamination.
Many farmed fish are also given grain-based feeds. This reduces the levels of omega-3 fats and increases the amounts of omega-6 fats in their flesh. Since a proper balance of omega-3's to omega-6's is required for proper regulation of inflammation processes and thus good health, the imbalances in grain-fed farmed fish are counterproductive, particularly since most people already have too little omega-3 and too much omega-6 intake.
Another problem with farmed fish lies in the fact that large numbers of these fish are crammed into ponds or pens. This is similar to the concentrated animal-feeding operations such as those used for chickens. These conditions promote growth of pathogens like bacteria, yeasts, and parasites, and significant amounts of antibiotics and pesticides are needed to avoid infection issues. Antibiotics accumulate in the fish flesh and are passed on to consumers of the fish. This can result in issues such as emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and disruption of normal bacterial balance in the digestive tracts of consumers. The crowded conditions can also create problems with accumulation of excrement and even dead fish material. This is reduced by filtering and recirculating the water (assuming these are done), but some contamination from these sources will remain."
Asian Carp Availability
Year round availability sustainable up to 30 million pounds per year from Southern U.S. Gulf Coast States
Asian Carp Source
WILD-CAUGHT in U.S. fresh water lakes and rivers. Average size is 15-25 lbs (the bigger, the better for meat quality)
Asian Carp Processing
Whole fish will be blast frozen with head on, skin on, and bone in, IQF without preservatives
Shipping Asian Carp
Blast frozen whole fish will be shipped in frozen containers

UPDATE: Colorado to the Pac-10 is official - announced on Pac-10 official website.
Kyle Ringo of the BOULDER (CO) DAILY CAMERA reports Thursday morning:
It's a done deal.
The University of Colorado will announce at an 11 a.m. Friday press conference that the school will leave the Big 12 and join the Pac-10.
Multiple sources confirmed the deal to the Camera early Thursday, and league officials are scheduled to be in Boulder on Friday for the announcement.
Matt Hayes of SportingNews.com, Joe Schad of ESPN.com, and Jon Wilner of the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS also report today that Colorado will be the first Big 12 school to formally accept an invitation from the Pac-10.
That news has the Texas political machinery in high gear.
Ringo of the BOULDER (CO) DAILY CAMERA reported earlier today:
A Big 12 source told the Camera that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has summoned representatives from Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Baylor to a meeting today to discuss strategies for keeping the foursome together in the same conference.
Chuck Carlton of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS reported similarly:
A source familiar with the situation said Texas Tech and Baylor have been invited to the group discussion today. That's an interesting development. Texas Tech has always seen as part of any mass migration to the Pac-10.
But Baylor has always been viewed as being on the outside looking in. And with the Pac-10 expected to announce an invite for Colorado today, how could Baylor fit in? Maybe Baylor's lobbying efforts in the Texas Legislature are working.
There might be more. Could those A&M to the SEC rumors be more than rumors, leaving an extra seat open for the Pac-16 express? Or could the four really be trying their best to salvage the conference? No one quite knows yet.
Though the AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN reported Thursday:
Aides to the so-called Big Three in today's state government — Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Speaker Joe Straus — said they have mostly stayed out of the conference talks.
Perry's lack of activity is the most surprising to many Capitol insiders. By comparison, two leading politicians in Kansas — Gov. Mark Parkinson and U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback — have asked Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman to try to keep Nebraska in the Big 12, according to the Omaha World Herald.
In a column Tuesday, Kirk Bohls of the Statesman added of Baylor's prospects:
Speculation that Texas is calling all the shots and will determine whether Baylor is included among the Big 12 contingent that could be invited to the Pac 10 Conference is untrue, one Texas school administrator said.
"They're the ones (doing the) inviting," the school official said of the Pac 10 on Tuesday. "The people in power at Baylor are not saying that (it's up to Texas)."
On A&M's conference alignment prospects, Bohls wrote late Wednesday:
Make no mistake, Texas is the 600-pound gorilla in the room. If left to its own devices, it could join any conference it wishes today. But it is tethered to Texas A&M and Texas Tech, even though I'm told by people who know that there is a slight chance the state's two top universities could separate, with Texas headed to the Pac-10 and A&M bent for SEC country. Not likely, but possible.
What we have now are Texas politicians and media members doing their best to say and do the right thing when it comes to Baylor. But is the school's exclusion from Texas exodus to the Pac-10 a dealbreaker for Texas, A&M and Tech?
Absolutely not. The move to the Pac-10 is all about television dollars from Fox and last I checked Denver is a slight upgrade on Waco.
Think Art Briles wishes he hadn't backed out of the Tech job right about now?

TTC gene family
On this page:
Reviewed October 2013
What are the TTC genes?
The tetratricopeptide (TTC) repeat domain containing family includes genes that provide instructions for proteins containing regions (domains) of repeating sequences called tetratricopeptides. These regions are known as tetratricopeptide repeats or TPR domains.
Within a protein, a TPR domain takes the shape of a large spiral (superhelix) with each strand made up of smaller coils. The large surface area of this structure enables proteins with TPR domains to serve as scaffolds upon which protein complexes can be built and other biochemical interactions can take place.
Proteins with TPR domains are involved in many processes in the body, such as protein production, protein transport, and the cycle of cell division. As a result, mutations in genes that belong to this family can cause many types of disorders, including developmental disorders, immune system-related diseases, and neurological problems.
Which genes are included in the TTC gene family?
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) provides an index of gene
Genetics Home Reference summarizes the normal function and health implications of these members of the TTC gene family: KDM6A, NCF2, SH3TC2, and TTC37.
What conditions are related to genes in the TTC gene family?
Genetics Home Reference includes these conditions related to genes in the TTC gene family:
Where can I find general information about genes and gene families?
The Handbook provides basic information about genetics in clear language.
What glossary definitions help with understanding the TTC gene family?
cell ; cell division ; domain ; immune system ; lysine ; neurological ; protein
You may find definitions for these and many other terms in the Genetics Home Reference Glossary.

The position of executive housekeeper is a supervisory job, usually in the hospitality field. Hotels and resorts employ executive housekeepers in hands-on and administrative roles to help maintain the quality of guest-related housecleaning work.Read More...
This management position frequently requires the executive housekeeper to handle scheduling duties and housekeeping systems that fit the needs of the establishment and its guests. This supervisor also establishes and maintains systems related to key security, room inspections, and employee evaluations. In most settings, the executive housekeeper participates actively in the hiring process; if they do not have final say in hiring decisions, they typically at least take part in interviews and offer input to the manager making the final decision.
The executive housekeeper also usually makes certain purchasing decisions and helps manage and maintain proper inventory procedures for cleaning supplies. They also may be involved in managing laundry procedures and maintaining useful inventory of guest linens in their establishment. Because of the need to manage and maintain so many processes, this position requires familiarity and skill with office-based computer applications.
Because of the unique requirements of this job, An executive housekeeper normally works from early mornings into late afternoons, but they should expect to be "on call" for the other staff.
Educational requirements for this position vary. Larger institutions almost always require at least an associate's degree or higher. Smaller locations and certain organizations may substitute practical experience in the field for that education. In situations requiring decisions on budgeting and departmental wages, however, that education requirement for managers remains somewhat inflexible. Additionally, experience in the hospitality field is almost always required, usually between three and five years.

Executive Housekeepers who transition into an Operations Manager role may receive large pay increases as the latter position pays an average $59K per year. The most common next step for an Executive Housekeeper is to become a Director of Housekeeping or a Hotel General Manager. The former position pays an additional $12K per year on average, and the latter position pays $14K more per year.
Many Executive Housekeepers can be found at Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Best Western International, Inc., firms that are at the top of the field. Hyatt Hotels attracts talent by shelling out the biggest paychecks in the area — the median in that office is $55K. Executive Housekeepers will also find cushy salaries at Marriott International, Inc. (+$46K), Holiday Inn (+$38K), and Hilton Garden Inn (+$35K).
Holiday Inn Express reports the lowest median salary in the area by far — it's only $23K, less than half of the top paying employer's rate. Other low-paying employers include Homewood Suites by Hilton at $27K and Hampton Inn at $27K, though some Executive Housekeepers there earn up to $40K.
Executive Housekeepers generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Spanish Language, Operations Management, People Management, and Scheduling are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Inventory Management and Customer Service. For most people, competency in Operations Management indicates knowledge of Scheduling.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Executive Housekeepers, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $32K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $40K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $42K in this role. Executive Housekeepers who have stuck around for more than two decades see earnings that are only slightly higher than those of folks who have worked for 10 to 20 years; the more senior group makes around $45K on average.
For Executive Housekeepers, busy San Francisco offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 66 percent above the national average. Executive Housekeepers will also find cushy salaries in New York (+52 percent), Las Vegas (+39 percent), Seattle (+39 percent), and Chicago (+32 percent). Trailing the national average by 13 percent, Columbus is the market with the smallest paychecks. Charlotte and Tampa are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries tend to be 7 percent less than the median.
