text: Photographing all New Zealand's meteorites Culture 02 April 14 by Olivia Solon Casey Moore London-based photographer Casey Moore likes to photograph meteorites. So much so that he's travelled the world in order to find them and document them using his large-format Sinar camera.His interest in meteorites was piqued on Father's Day 2013 when he made a trip to Greenwich Observatory and came across a section of meteorite that featured the Widmanstätten pattern, a unique structure found in iron-based meteorites. "I was blown away by it," Moore told Wired.co.uk.After that, Moore started researching meteorites and vowed to track some down in order to photograph the pattern. "The fact that they come from billions of years ago, were cruising around the Universe and then smashed into our planet is quite remarkable," he explains. "Meteorites are responsible for bringing water to the planet -- and, it would seem, life -- which alone makes them a worthy subject."Moore's first point of call was the Natural History Museum. He'd already photographed insects from its collection and knew that it also had some space rocks. The point of contact was the wonderfully titled "curator of meteorites", Deborah Cassey, who put forward a collection of 16 objects for Moore to photograph.A lot of Moore's work centres around reconnecting with New Zealand, his country of origin, and in the course of his research he discovered that only nine meteorites have been discovered in the country. The National History Museum has seven of them in its collection. "It has very long tentacles," he said. So seven of the meteorites were chosen because of their landing spot and the other nine were selected because they had the Widmanstätten pattern. To complete his collection of photographs, Moore flew over to New Zealand at the start of 2014 to shoot the remaining two meteorites. One -- which fell to Earth in 1908 -- was housed at the Whanganui Regional Museum, while the other landed into the living room of Phil and Brenda Archer of Ellerslie in Auckland in 2004 and is now stored in the Auckland Museum. The Ellerslie meteorite was "the final piece of the jigsaw". He speaks of this last rock fondly. "It's so recent and it's still intact [many meteorites were broken up and exhibited around the world]. You can see its abrasions from coming through the atmosphere, the shape that it melted into as it arrived. It has a particular texture that means you wouldn't mistake it for any other rock."The meteorites were captured by Moore's large-format analogue camera -- a Sinar that takes film measuring 5"x7". "I'm after a big negative for big prints. Sinar is a technical studio camera that gets lots of detail into the negative."He shot in black and white, aiming for extreme closeups in order to capture the detail of the patterns. "Technically it's always a challenge to photograph macro on large format film. A lot of rules in terms of aperture and shutter speeds and so on are broken by the act of shooting up close." One risk is reciprocity failure with long exposure, which makes it harder to get the timing right. The Natural History Museum has a professional studio with lights, which made it a more predictable shoot. But at the Whanganui Museum, he was capturing the objects with 50-80 second exposures. "I was making calculations based on part experience and part the manufacturers' guides."In order to get the appropriate magnification of the surface, the lens of the camera needed to be very close while the film is far away. This distance is created using concertina-like bellows, but these cause the light to fade, and this also needs to be accounted for.Given that the Sinar is an analogue camera, there was no way of knowing what the shots looked like until Moore got home to his studio. "No labs would process these [films]," he said.At home in Perivale, he has a customised dark room, with a "monster enlarger" (the Devere 5108) he found on eBay, which allows him to create prints of up to 60x40inches. "That's the hub," he tells us. Then there's a custom-built sink to wash the prints, and chemical trays to process them."It's a handmade, analogue thing from start to finish. There's no digital scanning; it's optical from capture to print," Moore says with pride in his voice, before quickly pointing out that he uses "digital constantly" (a Cannon 5D Mark II) in his commercial work. "But for photographing the meteorites, it had to be film. It has a texture that digital doesn't and will never have. It's like the difference between records and CDs. No matter how much more fidelity you can get into a CD, it's that warmth and crackle that you get with film."Moore doesn't yet have an exhibition planned for the meteorite pictures, but is showing some of his older work, with one show -- of shots of botanical specimens reflecting "universal symmetry" -- planned for New Zealand in May. The meteorite series, however, has lit up the "cosmic connection" inside Moore. He's since been reading John Gribbin's book Stardust, which talks about how the matter that makes up our bodies travelled from stars. "It blew my mind. We are all stardust. That's what we are made of." He hopes to one day be able to point his Sinar camera to the night's skies, hooking it up to a big telescope to capture celestial objects. "Many people have pointed their Canon 5D Mark II towards the Sun, but I don't know how it could be done with my Sinar. I'd like to find a way." Latest on wired.co.uk

$5.6 million in illegal drugs seized
By: Jenifer Gee Journal Staff Writer
1,600 marijuana plants found in Placer County
About $5.6 million in illegal drugs were seized in several Northern California counties including Placer Wednesday afternoon. Officials from the California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement collected about 3,300 marijuana plants worth $5.5 million, three pounds of crystal methamphetamine worth $66,000, 60 pounds of marijuana worth $102,000, one shotgun and two handguns, according to Michelle Gregory, press information officer for the state bureau of narcotics enforcement. Officials also arrested 21 suspects. The seizure included 1,600 marijuana plants found in a grow site in Placer County at the Lake Clementine State Park along Foresthill Road. Officials arrested one person who was tending to the garden at the time of Lake Clementine seizure. Another suspect fled and is still sought by law enforcement. No description could be provided, Gregory said. The remaining drugs were taken from sites in surrounding counties including El Dorado, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Stanislaus. Along with obtaining the crystal methamphetamine, officials were able to arrest who they believe is the drug organization's ring leader and the organization's broker, Gregory said. Hubert Ramirez, 24, is the suspected leader. Samuel Mondragon is the suspected broker. Both were arrested in Elk Grove Wednesday, Gregory said. Gregory added that officials cannot confirm the ages of all 21 suspects arrested but estimate that they are all in their 20s. Officials have determined so far that all 21 suspects are illegal aliens. Gregory confirmed that officials from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are involved as well as 14 other agencies from local, state and federal levels. The investigation began in March when the bureau received information about a drug trafficking organization involved in marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine. An undercover agent was able to infiltrate the drug organization and collect evidence, Gregory said. "It's one of the first cases we have had an undercover agent get into the organizations that way and earn their trust and get that information for us so we could go forth with the investigation," Gregory said. The large-scale seizure was the result of a multi-agency effort involving 15 agencies from the local, state and federal levels, Gregory said. The 10- to 15–person Mountain and Valley Marijuana Investigation team was the taskforce that led the investigation and subsequent drug seizure. Gregory said it is one of three teams in the state with the responsibility of locating and eradicating marijuana growth operated by drug trafficking organizations. The task force is comprised of individuals from the state Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, California Department of Justice, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Yolo County District Attorney's Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Gregory said the seizure was a large success for all agencies involved. "We believe we've got most of the main players in the organization, which hopefully puts a dent in their overall organization and should dismantle that one at least," Gregory said.

The Fire Axe, or just known as Axe, is a weapon that appears in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is used by Toni Cipriani in order to kill Giovanni Casa in a mission in Liberty City Stories. The axe is also a weapon of choice for the Diablos. The axe is an average weapon that deals the same amount of damage as a Baseball Bat and is one of the only few melee weapons the player cannot perform a swing hit whilst using in Vice City Stories.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Harwood, Portland Island - Behind the fire station.
- Hepburn Heights, Portland Island - Used by the Diablos.
GTA Vice City Stories
- Washington Beach - Next to the Chunder Wheel at the fairground.
- Downtown - At the construction site and the later Moist Palms Hotel.
- Viceport - At the oil refinery fuel depot where the mission Burning Bridges takes place.
- A Fire Axe can be found inside the in many locations around Liberty City in GTA IV. However, they are unusable.

The average annual precipitation for the Big River basin is 41 inches/year, with 29 inches being rainfall (MDNR 1986). Precipitation usually peaks in May (13") and is lowest in February (6"). Average annual runoff is 12.8 inches.
U.S. Geological Survey Gaging Stations
Three U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gagging stations (numbers 07017200-Irondale, 07018100-Richwoods, and 07018500-Byrnesville), all on Big River, are active within the basin (Figure Hy01). The Irondale station (RM 115) measures flow from 175 square miles of watershed, and its period of record is July, 1985 to present (Table Hy01). Some water quality data were collected during 1986 (Table Hy02).
The Richwoods (formerly DeSoto) station (RM 53.7) measures flow from 735 square miles of watershed, and its period of record is October 1942 to present (Table Hy01). Sporadic water quality sampling has taken place since 1963, but only 1986 to present is summarized (Table Hy02).
The Byrnesville station (RM 14.1) measures flow from 917 square miles of watershed, and its period of record is October 1921 to present (Table Hy02).
Instantaneous discharge (Table Hy01) and some water quality data (Tably Hy02) have been taken on Coonville Creek at St. Francois State Park since 1992.
Five other low-flow, partial-recording gagging stations were operated on Big River, Dry Branch, Hopewell Spring, Mineral Fork, and Old Mines Creek until the early 1970s. They are currently inactive.
Streamflow Characteristics
Big River's average annual discharge is 862 cubic feet per second (cfs) at Byrnesville (USGS 1994). Mean streamflow is lowest in August and highest in April (Figure Hy02). The lowest and highest instantaneous flows recorded, 25 cfs (August 30, 1936) and 63,600 cfs (September 25, 1993), occurred at the Byrnesville gagging station (Table Hy03; USGS 1994). However, an estimated discharge (from high-water marks) of 80,000 cfs, at Byrnesville on August 21, 1915, may have been the highest instantaneous flow (USGS 1994). Flows of 116 cfs, 337 cfs, and 1,720 cfs were exceeded 90%, 50%, and 10% of the time, respectively, at the Byrnesville gagging station (Table Hy03).
Data from Big River's Byrnesville gagging station were used to construct a flow duration curve (Figure Hy03) and a 90:10 ratio. The 90:10 ratio of 15 to 1 indicates stable, high flow (Miller et al. 1974).
Frequency of 7-day Q values (low-flow discharges; Table Hy04) and low slope index of 2.3 represent well sustained base flows (Miller et al. 1974), despite only 5 springs of note (6.6 cfs combined, Figure Hy04) being present (Vineyard 1982). Base flows are aided by ample precipitation, numerous small springs and seeps located in fractured limestone and subsurface chert, and artesian flow from old exploratory bore holes in the Old Lead Belt. During leadmining activities, base flow in the upper Big River at Leadington and Flat River was increased by 100-200% by lead mine discharges (Missouri Water Pollution Board 1964).
Flood magnitude for Big River (Table Hy05) is somewhat low for a basin of its size (Hauth 1974). However, increasing urbanization of the watershed and subsequent increased stormwater could increase flood magnitudes. A flood, which on average would happen once/100 years, would generate flows of 40,500 cfs (Table Hy05). The "Great Flood of '93" (63,600 cfs) was well above the 100-year flood level.
Dam and Hydropower Influences
One mainstem dam (RM 132) forms 440-acre Council Bluff Lake along the Washington-Iron County line. The lake was completed in 1981 for flood control and recreation. Five old mill dams , all in Jefferson County, affect Big River (Figure Hy05). The dams at Byrnesmill (RM 7.9), Cedar Hill (RM 18.8), and Morse Mill (RM 29) have been breached and are in varying degrees of disrepair. The dams at House Springs (RM 9.4) and Byrnesville (RM 13.8) remain intact, impounding over 2 miles of river. All these dams can be barriers to fish movement during normal flows.
In 1974, Congress authorized the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) to proceed with the Meramec Basin flood control project by constructing 5 impoundments on the Big, Bourbuese, and Meramec rivers (USCOE 1982). Two impoundments, 3,700-acre Pine Ford (RM 41) and 4,600-acre Irondale (RM 118) were designed for mainstem Big River. Intense public opposition forced deauthorization of these projects in 1982.
The Big River watershed contains many large (impounding >50 acre-feet of water with a dam height > 25'), privately-owned dams, with Jefferson, Franklin, and Washington counties each containing over 100 (MDNR 1986). The largest, 360-acre Sunnen Lake in Washington County, impounds a portion of Fourche a Renault Creek.
Jefferson, St. Francois, and Washington counties contain 45 dams which retain finely-ground (tailings) and coarsely-ground (chat) lead and barite mine waste (Table Hy06). Most of these dams were improperly constructed or maintained, which has led to erosion of mine waste or dam collapse and large influxes of mine waste.
In a 1992 study, USCOE found that only one of the 45 Big River basin mine dams was safe and 27 received the worst possible rating--high-hazard, unsafe--and could fail during a severe flood or earthquake (Table Hy07). Perhapsthe greatest danger to humans is from the St. Joe State Park dam which could bury Park Hills, Missouri, under 10 to 30 feet of mining waste and inject millions of tons of mine waste into Big River if it should fail. The USCOE study concluded that the Federal government should help stabilize 17 of the high-hazard, unsafe dams based on threat to human life, property loss, extreme long-term environmental damage, and magnitude of the problem (USCOE 1992).
Three lead tailings dams (Leadwood, Eaton, and St. Joe State Park) and tailings piles (including sites at National, Bonne Terre, and Elvins) in St. Francois County are being studied by Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to determine the proper method of remediation. The Leadwood tailings pond dam was stabilized and spillway enlarged in 1996 (J. Czarnezki, personal communication). A plan for stabilization of the St. Joe State Park dam has been approved. Stabilization of lead tailings began in 1997.

Hip replacement surgery - after - self-care; Knee replacement surgery - after - self-care
You will stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days after having hip or knee joint replacement surgery. During that time you will recover from your anesthesia and the surgery.
Even though the surgeon may talk to family or friends right after surgery is done, you will still spend 1 to 2 hours after surgery in a recovery room before going to your room. You will likely wake up tired and groggy.
You will have a large dressing (bandage) over your incision (cut) and part of your leg. A small drainage tube may be placed during surgery to help drain blood that collects in your joint after surgery.
You will have an IV (a catheter, or tube, that is inserted into a vein, usually in your arm). You will receive fluids through the IV until you are able to drink on your own. You will slowly resume a normal diet.
You may have a Foley catheter inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Most of the time, it is removed the day after surgery. You may have some trouble passing your urine after the tube is removed. Make sure you tell the nurse if you feel bloated.
Your nurse will show you how to prevent blood clots.
You may be taught how to use a device called a spirometer and do deep breathing and coughing exercises. Doing these exercises will help prevent pneumonia.
Your doctor will prescribe pain medicines to control your pain.
Your doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection.
Your nurses will encourage you to start moving and walking.
You will be helped out of bed to a chair on the day of surgery. You may even try to walk if you feel up to it.
You will work with specialists to get moving again and to learn to take care of yourself:
All of this takes a lot of hard work on your part. But the effort will pay off in the form of a faster recovery and better results.
By the second day after surgery, you will be encouraged to do as much as you can by yourself. This includes going to the bathroom and taking walks in the hallways with help.
After knee replacement, some surgeons recommend using a continuous passive motion machine (CPM) while you are in bed. The CPM bends your knee for you. Over time, the rate and amount of bending will increase. If you are using this machine, always keep your leg in the CPM when you are in bed. It may help speed your recovery and reduce pain, bleeding, and risk of infection.
You will learn the proper positions for your legs and knees. Make sure you follow these guidelines. Improper positioning can injure your new hip or knee joint.
Before you go home, you will need to:
Some people need a short stay in a rehabilitation center or a skilled nursing facility after they leave the hospital and before they go home. During the time you spend here, you will learn how to safely do your daily activities on your own. You will also have time to build strength while you recover from your surgery.

Hello all,
Im Ryan. I recently moved to Blacksburg, VA for my graduate studies at VT. I quickly found out just how big MTB is here lol. I think like half the students ride bikes to school Anyways, I used to ride BMX when I was younger, so I know a little about bikes and about repairing them. I dont really know much about mountain bikes, but Id like to get involved. Im looking to get a decent fixer-upper for cheap. Im too broke to buy a new bike lol. Would you guys be able to give me some suggestions and guidance in this area? Just pretend like Im an infant, because if you start rattling off all kinds of MTB lingo right off the bat, Ill probably get confused I think i pretty much know the majority of the parts on a bike and the mechanics involved. So Im thinking I should probably be lookign for a fixer bike with a solid frame and fork. I figured that because theyre generally the most expensive parts (at least in BMX lol). Now Im kind of a big guy too, Im 6'4" ad 265lbs. Im not a fat@$$ though, I bodybuild, probably around 15% BF now and decreasing This, as you may have guessed, is part of the reason Id like to get into MTB. So what can you all tell me?

Dissapearances Reasons for the dissapearances Conclusion Bermuda triangle : Bermuda triangle The Bermuda Triangle is a strange and mysterious place in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is roughly the shape of a triangle and it is said to have sucked planes and boats into its dark and murky waters. No one knows what happened to the planes and boats. When some enter the waters of the triangle they disappear forever.it is also known as devils triangle WHAT IS IT? : WHAT IS IT? The Bermuda Triangle is an imaginary triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. It starts in Florida and goes to hen to Bermuda then back to Miami. There have been many unexplained disappearances in that area, although many ships and planes go through safely everyday Dissapearances : Dissapearances Lots of dissapearances have been reported. Among those the most famous are: The Spray- Joshua Slocum Marine Sulphur Queen Star Tiger Flight 19 cyclops The Spray- Joshua Slocum : The Spray- Joshua Slocum The Bermuda Triangle claimed one of the greatest sailors of all time. His name was Joshua Slocum. On April 24th, 1895, at the age of 51, Joshua Slocum left Boston and began a one man journey around the world. Slocum sailed in a small poorly equipped boat. The Spray was less than 37 feet long. Slide 7: Slocum sailed that boat on a 46,000 mile trip around the world. This took him three years. When he finished, he became the first man in history to sail around the world alone. In 1909, he set out on a one man trip to the West Indies. In November he stopped at Miami for supplies. That was the last time anybody saw him. His next route took him into the Bermuda Triangle STAR TIGER : STAR TIGER In January, 1948, a British airliner called,"Star Tiger" was coming to the end of a routine flight from Azores to Bermuda. The plane was expected to arrive on time, but it didn't arrive at all. A search was being made to look for survivers or wreckage, when a radio station picked up a faint message supposedly to be from the aircraft. Reasons for the dissapearances : Reasons for the dissapearances Watespouts and Whirlpools Deep Water Eddies The Gulf Stream White Water Yellow haze The Lost Continent Of Atlantis Portal To Another Dimension YELLOW HAZE : YELLOW HAZE The Yellow Haze is a strange and eerie force that cannot be explained. The Yellow Haze is like a thick, yellow fog that is so dense you can see nothing around you. Somebody said while visiting the Triangle, "We saw the haze, and we have seen nothing like it... since we visited the Triangle." The Yellow Haze is more than fog, heavier than humidity, what kind of magnetic force is in the Haze? Can this contribute to the loss of planes and ships? Slide 11: Portal to Another Dimension Another interesting theory about the Bermuda Triangle area is that certain places there serve as portals to other dimensions. The sheer number of credible eyewitness UFO reports makes this an area warranting serious further study with respect to either permanent or ever-changing possible portal sites. Credible scientists making careful observations in the area have reported anomalies in magnetism and gravitational forces here that cannot be explained by conventional physics, introducing the possibility that there is a dynamic opening and closing of other dimensional doorways in the vicinity. Conclusion : Conclusion In summary, the Bermuda Triangle is a fascinating area with a rich history that does seem to be conducive to supernatural phenomena in some respects, though further analytical study is definitely needed. There is speculation that the US government is already conducting covert tests in the Bahamas area, specifically Bimini, though exactly what they are looking for is as much a mystery as the area itself. Indeed, the famous "Bimini Road" is located on this island, where some say portions of the ruins of Atlantis can be seen in the clear shallow water. The National Geographic Society is reportedly investigating the reports of the lost city beneath the waters off Cuba, but they have not made any public announcements about what they have found to date.

Bad Writing.
Writers should never use the words "arguably," "ubiquitous," or "plethora."
Anything worth writing about is arguable. Therefore, arguably, the word adds nothing to a description.
"Ubiquitous" is a big word. There is another word that is just as good but not as pretentious. Nevertheless, the word "ubiquitous" is everywhere. It is also widespread.
Like "ubiquitous," "plethora" is a good word for the SAT, but little else. There is an excess, profusion and abundance of those who use "plethora" too much.

Dr. Theodora Jankowski Speaks at UCLA Seminar
Dr. Theodora Jankowski, English professor and Director of Academic Affairs at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, recently traveled to UCLA to participate in the Andrew W. Mellon/Sawyer Seminar Series "Homosexualities, from Antiquity to the Present."
Dr. Jankowski's presentation, "Looking for Lesbians: Queer Desire in the Geneva Bible's 'Song of Songs,'" concerned her study of the Geneva Bible, the first English translation of the Bible to be made from the original Hebrew and Koine Greek.
"Since the second person singular pronoun, 'you,' is not gender-marked in English," Jankowski said, "what happens in this translation is that the reader is presented with a series of vignettes of sexual situations involving: a man and a woman; two men; two women; a group of women, etc. Thus, surprisingly, in a canonical religious text which contains prohibitions against homosexual activity, we can find much evidence of this activity."
According to UCLA, "Although the term 'homosexuality' has its own problematic history, the plural version of the word focuses attention on the ways in which scholars analyze patterns of same-sex eroticism in a broad range of historical and theoretical contexts. The seminar program aims to generate dialogue between researchers whose work is based within and across many different humanities disciplines."
For this series, which began this past October and extends until June, UCLA invited scholars in the field to share their findings in both past and present and local and global studies of same-sex desire and relationships.
For more information, please contact Dr. Theodora Jankowski at 570-675-9254 or email@example.com.

The Plan for A Week Off With My ToddlerBeth Anne Ballance
For the past seven years in the workforce, I've gotten ONE day off for the holidays. Christmas Day. I've worked until 5 PM on too many Christmas Eves and been at my desk by 8 AM too many times on December 26th. It's a shame, really, because it takes away from my family and the holiday.
I remember Harrison's second Christmas. I worked until 5 PM, only to rush to get him from the nanny, rush to change him into his Christmas Eve church clothes, rush to the candlelight service. I was exhausted by 8 PM, ready for bed.
Last year, Christmas Eve fell on a weekend and it was lovely. This year, I'm off for an entire week and a half.
I feel positively giddy for Monday when Harry will ask, "School's closed?" and I get to say, "YES! LET'S BAKE COOKIES INSTEAD!"
So what the heck am I going to do with my three-year-old for a week and a half?
Sleeping in 1 of 8hahahahahaha, just kidding.
Play outside 2 of 8Yep, lots of fresh air for both of us! Now that our backyard is fixed, I see a lot of running around.
Making hot breakfast 3 of 8This is someting my own momma did for me on school breaks - we'd have pancakes one day, biscuits and eggs another, french toast. All the things we don't have time for in the regular morning rush!
Baking Christmas treats 4 of 8Cookies and sprinkles and peanut butter balls and pretzels...yum!
Writing 5 of 8I'm hoping to get time to write a little bit, maybe during nap time.
Playing cars and trains 6 of 8This is what I miss most when I'm at work - being on the floor with my little guy, watching his imagination work.
Watching Christmas movies 7 of 8So excited to introduce Harrison to my favorites - Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph, Frosty.
Playdates! 8 of 8Luckily, several of my fellow working mom friends have the same break. Plus, I get to hang out with my stay-at-home mom friends!
If you get a Winter Break, do you have anything planned?

Where can I take a CDL practice test online?
Operating a commercial motor vehicle takes a great deal of skill, which is why the test for earning your CDL covers so much information. Depending upon the exact endorsements he or she requires, a commercial driver needs to know about topics such as air brakes, driving combination vehicles, driving tank vehicles, transporting cargo, transporting passengers, hauling hazardous materials, and driving a school bus. The best way to prepare to earn your CDL is to take several practice tests before you visit your DMV for the actual written exam.
The first place to look for a CDL practice test is your state's DMV Web site. Most states have a copy of the CDL driver manual available as a PDF download. The PDF file typically includes practice questions at the end of each section. However, your state DMV may also have a separate interactive online practice test that you can take to see if you're prepared to earn your license.
Since the basic rules of safe driving are the same regardless of where you live, it can be helpful to look at the CDL tests on other state DMV Web sites. If you live in
If you've paid to attend a school for commercial drivers, your program may offer access to special online CDL practice tests. There are also several private party Web sites that offer practice tests for CDL drivers for a small fee.

EmergingGrowth.com, a leading digital financial media company, Reports on the Smartphone segment. Discussions Include Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and MIPS Technology (NASDAQ: MIPS).
Feature your company on EmergingGrowth.com. Visit EmergingGrowth.com to find out how.
Small cap companies denied entry to the market; only way in is to provide essential products to existing big wigs.
The smartphone segment has, for the past several years, made front page news uncountable times. Taking the tech industry by storm, this market has indescribably changed the whole industry; in the process burying big wigs and erecting new giants. Despite the undeniably dynamic nature of the segment, one thing has remained constant in this market; it's a no go zone for emerging growth companies. Not only does entry into this market require colossal sums of capital but the existing titans do not bear any reservations for new comers. In addition, consumers are typical of changing preferences overnight.
Some of the bigger names that demonstrate the smartphone market's unique make-or-break ability are Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The former, renowned for its iconic Blackberry, has lost significant value over the years; dipping from its prime market cap of around $80 billion to its current $6 billion. In fact, Research in Motion was even kicked out of the NASDAQ 100, the index that shows that largest 100 non financial stocks on NASDAQ. This tremendous dip in value has been attributable to several factors, among them unbearable competition and changing consumer tendencies. As of now, Research in Motion is clutching on its last straw with the Blackberry 10, slated for a late January launch.
Apple on the other hand has gained notable value since the outset of the smartphone craze. As seen the value of Apple has been on a big upward trajectory for a better part of the prevalent smartphone craze. While Apple's case shows the smartphone market's ability to deliver unbelievable returns, Research in Motion's case shows that this market, however promising, can decide to rear its ugly end from time to time. Can emerging growth companies manage to take this risk? Not quite so. Here are some of the reasons why.
Take away innovation add lawyers and cash reserves
While emerging growth companies have all the innovation to bring, big wigs in the smartphone market have a game changing trick up their sleeves, a trick that fences out small cap companies and makes sure that the big fish swim uninterrupted. Smartphone heavyweights have realized that the only way to survive is by having a lot of money and good lawyers.
Take a look at Apple. This big wig has fenced out a great number of small cap companies by using the legal system. Some of its patents touch on the fundamental functionality of smartphones while others are in all honesty absurd. For instance, the glass stair case in its retail outlets is patented. The same applies to the in-store iPad stand at its retail stores. The rounded square icons in its Graphic User Interface, which was incidentally one of the core issues in last year's legal brawl with Samsung, is also patented. The same goes with its rounded corners, home button and music icon. Although this snapshot merely touches on some of the few patents under Apple's belt, it shows that it's next to impossible for a new comer to offer something that does not belong to Apple, or any other big wig for that matter.
To finance the inevitable litigation that accompanies these patents, Apple, alongside other big wigs like Google, use their large cash reserves to maintain a bulging team of lawyers. Apple for instance, reportedly owns the world's biggest hedge fund called Braeburn. With assets valued more than $117 billion as of June last year, the cash generated from the hedge fund's investments, coupled with lumpy profits from the big wig's operations, prove instrumental in litigation.
With this in mind, what is the way out for emerging growth companies looking to get a go in the smartphone market?
Offer an essential service like chip making or much better; innovate with the intention of becoming an acquisition target. As we reported earlier, it is emerging growth companies like with unique innovative products like MIPS Technology (NASDAQ: MIPS), that will rake in handsomely from this harsh, yet rewarding, tech industry.

Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs
Welcome everyone to the Smart Partnership Dialogue: Global Engagement Series. This series provides state, local sub-national leaders and key stakeholders the opportunity to discuss important issues with high level officials within the Department of State. We conduct briefings such as this throughout the year. If you are interested in future briefing please let us know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
This session of the Smart Partnership Dialogue, Global Engagement Series is designed to discuss sustainable development and climate issues that affect state and local communities and moving forward after COP 16.
Let me begin by thanking all the state and local elected officials for participating and for sharing their points of view in this smart partnership dialogue.
In particular, I would like to thank Mary Nichols, Chairman of California Air Resources Board, who I hear is calling in from London. Mary continues to serve the State of California with a new Governor after serving for nearly eight years with former Governor Arnold Schwartnegger.
The State of California is just one example of a state and local government facing grand global challenges, such as jobs, security, health care,--- and energy and climate change, which demands attention from all of us, no matter our differences. Also joining us from California are Deputy Secretary of Environmental Justice, Tribal and Border Affairs Ricardo Martinez and Assistant Secretary for Climate Change Programs Lauren Faber of the California EPA.
In addition to California, we have Doug Scott, Director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency from the Midwest and J. Jared Snyder, Assistant Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
We have also interacted with other officials from Arkansas, California, New Mexico, Illinois, and New York and many others at the most recent Climate Change summits.
I would like to recognize the work of Marty Chavez, Mayor Patrick Hayes and ICLEI during Cop-16. They were a part of the first delegation representing local governments. It is a pleasure to have ICLEI represented here today.
The local energy economies, weather and climate, needs and aspirations of every state, county, and city are unique and different. And, as we know from the efforts of many of you on the phone today, solutions to mitigating and adapting to global climate disruptions are going to come—indeed they are already coming—from state and local ideas.
This is the reason my office, the Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs, is working on this issue in partnership with the offices of the Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern and Deputy Special Envoy Dr. Jonathan Pershing, who will lead the dialogue with us today.
Dr. Jonathan Pershing is doing a tough job for our country with a lot of diplomatic confidence and candour.
Special Envoy Todd Stern spoke a couple of months back in a speech entitled "A New Paradigm: Climate Change Negotiations in the Post-Copenhagen Era." In his speech, he emphasized "Much needs to be done, much is uncertain, and the future of climate diplomacy is still waiting to be made." I think his remarks still apply post Cancun.
It takes trusted partnerships and collaborations between state, local, and global communities and their elected leaders like council members, mayors and Governors to work with each other, in spite of the differences in regional climate changes and their resulting impacts.
The Subnational leaders in particular care about how local policy affects and is affected by the grand global challenges facing humanity. And they are contributing their best ideas to contribute to potential solutions.
Now turning to our distinguished guest speaker today, the US Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change discussions Dr. Jonathan Pershing.
Dr. Pershing brings more than 20 years of domestic and international experience in climate change science, technology, and policy to his position as the Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change.
Prior to joining the State Department, Dr. Pershing served as Director of the Climate, Energy and Pollution Program at the World Resources Institute (WRI), a non-partisan environmental think tank in Washington, D.C. He also directed the Environment Program at the International Energy Agency in Paris, and spent nearly a decade in the State Department as a senior climate official in the 1990s. Dr. Pershing is widely recognized for his work on international climate change architecture, including the design of a post-Kyoto Protocol climate change agreement. He has served on multinational advisory boards supporting the development of both U.S. domestic and international climate policy.

A government report says construction of new homes plunged 4.5 percent last month to the lowest level on government records, as U.S. builders slashed production while Wall Street nosedived.
The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that construction of new homes and apartments dropped more than expected to an annual rate of 791,000 units from an upwardly revised September rate of 828,000 units. Previously, the slowest pace had been in January 1991, when the country was in recession and going through a similar housing correction. The government's records date back to 1959.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected construction to fall to a rate of 780,000 units. It was the fourth-straight monthly drop.

That September drop you were expecting for gasoline prices? Don't hold your breath.
Currently, gasoline averages $3.55 a gallon nationally, down from $3.63 a month ago.
Most analysts had expected a drop to about $3.40 by early fall, as seasonal demand slumps after the summer driving season.
Not now. Some forecasters predict a short-term spike of up to 10 cents a gallon. Crude oil prices and gas futures soared the past three days.
The reason: growing fears that if the U.S. military strikes back at Syria for its unacceptable handling of civil unrest intervention, one consequence could be a supply disruption in the Middle East.
The price of crude oil rose $1.40 to $110.40 a barrel Wednesday in futures trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The wholesale price of gas -- as measured by futures contract trading -- climbed 1% to $3.06 a gallon. Consumers typically pay about 60 to 75 cents more a gallon at the pump.
"In some portion of the country, those increases are translating into a few bumps higher, and in other areas, the slow drift to lower (pump prices) has been put in limbo,'' says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for price tracker gasbuddy.com.
"Bottom line, we'll be paying perhaps in the low $3.60s this weekend, and God willing, the last 120 days of the year should see prices at or below those levels, once crude calms down and sellers return to the global crude market,'' Kloza says.
Syria isn't a major oil producer - its output is less than 100,000 barrels a day vs. about 400,000 before its civil war started two years ago. But oil prices have been rising since July, when political upheaval Egypt sparked concerns about access to supply routes through the Suez Canal.
The region was already under pressure before Syria's uncertainty caused crude to spike. Civil unrest in Iraq is rising again - more than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in July, the highest monthly death toll since 2008.
Libya's oil production is already down sharply due to worker strikes over pay. Libya's deputy oil minister says protests by security guards have slashed oil exports to just 300,000 barrels a day vs. 1.6 million barrels prior to the 2011 war that toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Some industry observers, such as Societe Generale oil analyst Michael Wittner, suggest rising tensions could cause crude oil to briefly spike to $150 a barrel if the Syrian conflict spills over to major producers and causes larger supply disruptions. Crude oil last approached those levels in July 2008, when the price of crude hit an all-time high of just over $145 a barrel.
Still, Wittner says any spike would be short-lived because rising prices would inevitably led to a demand slowdown that would drive prices lower. And some major producers, namely Saudi Arabia, are willing to pump more oil as needed during a supply disruption to help keep price increases under control and contain any damage to the global economy.
Kloza doesn't see $150 a barrel oil, given weakening U.S. demand and falling prices of ethanol, which makes up 10% of most domestic motor fuels.
"Under most scenarios - but perhaps not the scenarios proffered by banks or hedge funds with plenty to gain from oil price escalation -- I believe $115-$120 a barrel is probably a ceiling for this crude oil rally,'' Kloza says.

What are You Wearing?
As we draw nearer to this year's Astricon, which celebrates the 10th year of Asterisk, and as I was rummaging around my closet this morning for something to wear, it occurred that I might bring all of you on a walk down a Digium memory lane. Thus, I present a 10-year history of Digium in shirts.
Before the beginning, no one at Digium wore any work shirts. We might have worn shirts, but we wouldn't say. Customer meetings were conducted in paraphernalia that would have been appropriate for college dormitory rooms and we'd never been to a … Continued

A man accused of dropping and killing his two-month-old daughter is now a step closer to standing trial for it.
Twenty-four-year-old Maning Lott was in court Monday afternoon, and after 18 months of treatment and evaluation, the judge declared him competent to stand trial.
Lott was arrested back in August of 2004 after his two-month-old daughter Shaila died of massive head injuries. Lott told police he was playing with the baby, tossing her in the air and accidentally dropped her.
His trial on manslaughter charges is now set for May 1.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Chief of Naval Personnel announced the results of the Navy's first ever Total Force survey March 23.
This initial survey was sent to roughly 45,000 active and Reserve Sailors, and civilian employees throughout the Fleet, with the goal of providing a baseline understanding of their perceptions on work-life quality and other hot button issues.
While the Navy has used surveys in the past to uncover perceptions in the Fleet, none were shared across the active, Reserve and civilian workforce or used similar questions to allow for useful comparison.
"The Navy Total Force survey has taken the best aspects of previous questionnaires and applied them to all elements of the Total Force," said Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, chief of naval personnel. "In doing so, we can better understand how the entire team views their quality of life-work balance, job satisfaction and career intentions."
The survey was administered by the Navy Personnel Research, Studies, and Technology (NPRST) team from February to September 2010. NPRST was then tasked with compiling, and analyzing the results for senior leadership. Once completed, they were able to deliver a credible and valuable comparison tool.
Results of the survey among active and Reserve Sailors revealed consistent and positive results on key indicators such as job satisfaction, compensation, and intent to stay with Navy. When measuring career intentions, the survey found enjoyment of job and benefits such as retirement and healthcare to be top reasons to continue serving, while the frequency and duration of deployments were cited as top reasons to leave.
Among Navy civilians, they were found to report fewer problems in balancing their personal life with their career, but were also shown to be less satisfied than their uniformed counterparts in career progression.
"Overall, the survey showed the Total Force is satisfied with the quality of their service, their leadership, and their compensation," said Ferguson. "We view these results as a baseline to measure our future efforts to improve our quality of life programs. This will be our 'Total Force' starting point for the future."
Navy Total Force survey results can be found at http://www.nprst.navy.mil/Summaries.aspx.

Renewing Bathroom Sinks
Is there a way to renew bathroom sinks? We have two molded one-piece sink/countertops, and both are scratched. Most of the scratches are in the bottom of the bowl.
Look for DIY Kits
Scratches can be sanded and polished. There are DIY kits out there depending on the material your sinks are made of.
Karen (via Facebook)
Look for Replacement Sink
There are companies out there that do this kind of thing, but the cost is almost as much as a new sink. Many years ago, a relative of mine used a kind of epoxy paint to refinish the sink and it lasted until they sold the house. There are probably new products out now, so go to a big box store or a big paint store and ask. They will be able to answer questions.
A second alternative, if you are handy with plumbing, is to watch garage sales for a used sink or to keep your eyes open as you are driving around for sites where someone may be in the process of remodeling. You can probably get a sink for free this way.
May Be Worth a Try
I have not tried this, but it seems to me that a formula that you can use to make the headlights clear on an old car again might work. I found mine at Dollar General, but I'm sure that an auto parts store would have something like it. It's usually no more than $5 for a small bottle, which seems to last forever.
Touch Up Sink
To renew bathroom sinks (or other appliances), you can use appliance touch up paint. It comes in a little bottle like nail polish, and it even comes in different colors.
Or, if it is really bad, you can re-glaze it using the method here.

Pick your seat on easyjetThu, 06 Sep 2012 9:15 AM
British no-frills airline easyJet will introduce paid-for allocated seating across all flights from November, after conducting a successful trial during the summer.
Passengers will have the option to pay three levels of pricing - £3, £8 or £12 - depending on where they want to sit, easyJet said in a statement. Those choosing not to pay will be handed a seat number when they check in.
The airline, which is based at Luton airport north of London, added that it has tested the switch from the mainly first-come-first-serve system to allocated seating during the summer season.
"Our customers asked us to trial allocated seating and we are really pleased with the positive passenger feedback during the trial," said group chief executive Carolyn McCall.
"As importantly, we have shown that we can do so while delivering strong on time performance - the most important driver of passenger satisfaction."

The phone survey of about 500 Wisconsinites shows 44 percent support the plan to allow workers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in private investment accounts. That support was 49 percent when the proposal was unveiled in January.
Opposition to the plan among those surveyed increased from 47 percent to 53 percent.
The poll is sponsored by The Capital Times and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and has a margin of error of about four percentage points.

VAIL, Colo. (AP) Floyd Landis finished eighth in a time trial Sunday at the Teva Mountain Games, where he raced over the weekend for the first time since winning the Tour de France last year.
Landis was riding for charity, teaming with two other athletes in a four-part event that also included mountain biking, kayaking and running.
Landis combined with Tao Berman and Andy Ames to finish third in the team challenge and earn a $250 prize, which will go to Athletes For A Cure, a charitable organization that helps those with prostate cancer.
On Saturday, Landis rode in a mountain bike race and finished 49th in the overall field, though he was fifth among those in the team competition.
Landis tested positive for synthetic testosterone at last year's Tour de France and is awaiting a decision from an arbitration panel on whether the victory will stand. If the panel upholds the positive finding, Landis could forfeit his title and face a two-year ban from cycling.
In an interview Saturday with The Associated Press, Landis said he came to Vail to have fun and raise money and was happy to get back in a race, no matter the result.
``Right now, I'm in the, `Try your hardest and do the best you can' phase,'' Landis said, acknowledging he was still working himself back into shape after a 10-day layoff he took during the arbitration hearing last month.

Infinity Blade II (Credit: Chair Entertainment)
Infinity Blade II
There's a good chance you already own this graphically rich combat game, but on the off chance you don't, you have no more excuses -- unless you have a really, really old phone, because Infinity Blade II is still one of the most graphically intense games you can download. But provided you have an iPhone 4 or higher (it's pretty sluggish on a 3GS), pick it up!
Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP
Artsy, inventive, scary, quirky -- however you describe it, Sword and Sworcery is a singular experience. Explore a beautiful realm, solve musical puzzles and do battle against creepy foes while using your iOS device in a multitude of clever ways. Our advice? Grab it on your iPad to truly enjoy the throwback visuals.

Disney's multi-gazillion dollar iOS franchise isn't just charming and cute -- it's also a smartly-designed physics puzzler that deserves a spot on your iPhone.
Tiny Wings
The Little Birdie That Could! Built by German developer Andreas Illinger, this gorgeous, simple game about a bird with wings too small to fly bumped the unstoppable Angry Birds off the top of the App Store charts when it debuted in 2011. It's gotten even better since.
The most recent iOS game on this list, the highly-rated Badland lets you guide a weird bat-thing through a planet out to kill you every flap of the way. Normally $3.99, it's a steal.
A selection of free non-game apps are available as well, including journal app Day One, photo text-overlay app Over, the huge cookbook How to Cook Everything, Barefoot World Atlas, and, perhaps most impressive of all, Traktor DJ, a pro DJ software tool that usually sells for $20.
The App Store launched with a mere 500 apps on July 10, 2008. In May of this year, Apple announced that it passed the 50 billion download mark.
