SEOUL, May 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's external debt fell in the first quarter due to a weaker won, with the ratio of the short-term foreign debt against the total debt hitting an over 13-year low, the central bank said Wednesday.
The country's external debt totaled US$410.3 billion as of the end of March, down $3.3 billion from three months earlier, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The data marked the lowest reading since $398.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The BOK said that foreign investors continued to buy local bonds in the first quarter, but the won's weakness reduced the value of their bond holdings, leading to the decline in the total external debt.
Since last year, foreign investors have snapped up Korean bonds as they were seen as attractive amid aggressive monetary easing moves by major economies and a spate of credit rating upgrades for Korea.
But the local currency turned weaker in the first quarter amid heightened geopolitical risks from North Korea's war threats. The won fell 3.7 percent per the dollar in the first quarter.
In the January-March period, Korea's short-term foreign debt declined to the lowest mark since the fourth quarter of 2006, indicating that the structure of its foreign debt has improved.
The country's short-term external debt amounted to $122.2 billion, down $4.5 billion from three months earlier. But its long-term foreign debt rose by $1.3 billion on-quarter to $288 billion amid foreigners' investment in monetary stabilization bonds sold by the central bank.
Accordingly, the rate of the short-term debt against Korea's total debt reached 29.8 percent as of the end of the first quarter, the lowest since 29.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 1999.
The ratio of the short-term debt against the foreign reserves came in at 37.3 percent as of end-March, the lowest since 34.6 percent in the first quarter of 2006.
The finance ministry said that the government will closely monitor cross-border foreign capital movement in a bid to brace for potential sudden outflows of such foreign funds.
Korea's high short-term foreign debt used to be a major headache whenever a financial crisis cropped up as a surge in foreign debt left local banks vulnerable to external shocks.
South Korea's net external credit reached $134.2 billion as of end-March, up $11.9 billion from the preceding quarter, it noted.

Dec VR & TTC First Round
Comments (9)
If you are only 9 days from your period, there is a very great chance that the reason you haven't gotten a positive OPK yet is because you haven't O'd yet. I strongly recomment temping in addition to your OPKs so you know when you have O'd and therefore when you can stop taking the OPKs. GL!
What calendar days of your cycle did you take the opks?
DS: 6; DD: 2 months
VR 4/11/11; 5 failed IUI
I took the OPKs starting on the 14th, which was 11 days from the start of my last period. And I took one everyday till the 18th. I have a couple apps on my phone where I've been tracking my period for the past 8 months. And, it's been very accurate in predicting my period, so I was going off that in telling me when I should be ovulating.
Your app can predict your cycle with decent accuracy, but it definitely cannot tell you when you O. Those types of apps just count back 14 days from your expected period or count forward 14 days from CD1. This is not an accurate way to determine O. I highly recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler in order to help you get accurate information about your cycle.
Charting and reading that book will really help you. I promise, it sounds and looks way more intimidating than it actually is. In reality it is beyond easy. As easy as sticking a thermometer in your mouth and typing your temp into an app on your phone. Crazy easy. Good luck!
No problem. I used to think it sounded intimidating too, until I realized what it entailed. You will love it!

Lafite '55 With Latour '66 Joins Meursault at Bonhams
Two bottles of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1955 and a case of Chateau Latour 1966 are among historic Bordeaux vintages on sale with wines from Burgundy and Italy at a Bonhams San Francisco auction this weekend.
The two Lafite bottles are part of a mixed seven-bottle lot from the estate, which carries a top estimate of $15,000 and also includes four of its 1982 vintage and one from 1988. The case of Latour is estimated to fetch as much as $7,000, according to the online Bonhams catalog.
The auction comes as the Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 Index of top Bordeaux vintages has risen 4 percent this year, with declines since mid-March following a gain of 8 percent in the first 10 weeks of the year. Demand at auctions has been driven by older Burgundy vintages, including at a July 11 Bonhams London sale, as appetite for Bordeaux has been less consistent.
"While Bordeaux struggles to inspire the market, other regions are thriving," Liv-ex wrote in a commentary posted on its market blog. "Relative values look vastly different to the market's peak two years ago."
At the Bonhams sale earlier this month, three bottles of Romanee-Conti 1999 made up the top lot, selling for 23,000 pounds ($35,100), while another three-bottle lot of Romanee-Conti 1989 sold for 17,250 pounds. In an e-mailed statement following the sale, Bonhams described the Burgundy estate as "currently the most consistent performer for wine at auction."
Among other wines for auction at the San Francisco sale this weekend, a 12-bottle case of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1982 Bordeaux is estimated to fetch as much as $12,000 while rarer Burgundies feature a 12-bottle mixed lot of Meursault from producer Pierre Morey, including eight bottles of his Perrieres 1986, estimated at as much as $1,400.
Italian wines in the sale include six bottles of Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo Gaja spanning the years from 1993 to 2004, priced to fetch as much as $1,300.

Pricing defaultable bonds: a middle-way approach between structural and reduced-form models
In this paper we present a valuation model that combines features of both the structural and reduced-form approaches for modelling default risk. We maintain the cause and effect or 'structural' definition of default and assume that default is triggered when a state variable reaches a default boundary. However, in our model, the state variable is not interpreted as the assets of the firm, but as a latent variable signalling the credit quality of the firm. Default in our model can also occur according to a doubly stochastic hazard rate. The hazard rate is a linear function of the state variable and the interest rate. We use the Cox et al. (A theory of the term structure of interest rates. Econometrica, 1985, 53(2), 385-407) term structure model to preclude the possibility of negative probabilities of default. We also horse race the proposed valuation model against structural and reduced-form default risky bond pricing models and find that term structures of credit spreads generated using the middle-way approach are more in line with empirical observations.

Although failing to pull off the three-peat with Sunday's 104-87 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the 2014 NBA Finals, the Heat is still the favorite to win it all next season. Despite losing the final series by the largest point differential in NBA Finals history – 70 points over the 5 games –Vegas odds makers have made them 5-2 favorites to claim the Larry O'Brien trophy next season. Miami, San Antonio and Oklahoma City are the only 3 teams to play in the NBA Finals in the past 3 years, and not surprisingly the Spurs and Thunder, who fought earlier this month in the Western Conference Finals, are next in line at 9-2. There are 8 teams better than 20-1, 5 of which are in the Western Conference. Of course much could change after the off season shopping spree aka free agency unfolds. LeBron James holds the option to opt out of his contract as does the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony, who is rumored to be considering bolting to Chicago or Houston. A move by either of the all-stars, or others, could alter the odds dramatically.
Here is the full list of odds to win the 2015 NBA Championship as of June 17. Sorry, Bucks Fans.

The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot by Hisi79Watch
©2013-2016 Hisi79
Inspired by (and partially adapted from) the classic Andrew Skilleter painting for the Radio Times cover promoting the original Five Doctors back in 1983.
this... this is beautiful.
This is PURE GOLD!
just saw this like an hour ago. I could not stop laughing. So hoping it'll be an extra featurette thing on the 50th DVD
Yeah, I would really like to see it included too!
Replace Tom Baker with David Tennant and its perfect
To be fair Matt Smith's in it for just as long as David. I felt that with them being plastered all over everything else at the moment the classic Doctors more than deserved a look-in. Not only that but having Tom not only mirrors the original better and pays homage to my favourite joke in the show .
Ha Ha. Brilliant !!.

I have just started using OPK's this month and the past and only 3 times I have used them I have only gotten the reference line. Is this normal? I thought there was always supposed to be two lines one would just be really light if there was no LH surge. Can anyone help? I am using the kits mid afternoon and holding urination for 3 hours and not drinking during that time period either. HELP
OPK.... Only one line
~Marianne~Wife to Josh Mommy to Peyton Alise (5/17/06) & Jackson Wayne (5/2/10)
I only used them last month but didn't get any line but the reference except when the hormone levels were starting to rise i hope that helps.
Sara :) 3 bouncing boys and 2 beautiful girls #7 is a GIRL Due 07/14/15! My forever baby angel looking over us all!
I only had one line for a few days at the beginning.. then the second one appeared, got darker for a few days and then a + came.. from what I've read it is perfectly normal.
My little family is finally complete <3
I think it's totally normal. My first 2 opks this month only had the control line. The test line has now started to show up, but still isn't quite positive, I'm hoping for a positive tomorrow. GL!
the best time to do the test is in the moring that urine contains the largest amount of hormores...now a days they have kits that acctually say the words pregnant or not pregnant which make life easy..see if you can get a hand on one of them....
normal. u may have started too soon.
remember always test same time every day and don't use FMU
Momma to Westin and Pierce
Ameila Jane 5/15/10
I just started using the FR OPKs... I did one last night and only the control line appeared. Did one this morning using FMU and the other line appeared but was barely visible. Are you, or are you not supposed to use FMU? I'm confused now...
~ Elizabeth ~
Mom to my 3 boys~ 1/08, 11/10 & 5/13
This was my first month using an OPK. According to my chart I should have ovulated this past Tuesday/Wednesday. I started the kit on Saturday and had a very faint line Sat - Mon. Tuesday and Wednesday's line was darker but still not the same as the reference line. I kept the sticks and the lines did get a little darker over time. Still not the same or darker! Not sure about those kits!!! Aghhh!! I try to determine the O by my discharge.....seems to be just as accurate.
I probably did start too early but my cycles are completely unpredictable so I am being overly cautious this month. Maybe by some miracle I wont have a 40 day cycle this month. lol GL to everyone.

|One man play about Truman Capote opens Dec. 5 at The Old Creamery Theatre
|News Releases - Stage & Theatre
|Written by Shelly Klimes
|Wednesday, 06 November 2013 14:26
Amana – Tru, a dramatic comedy about the life of famed author Truman Capote by Jay Presson Allen, opens on The Old Creamery Theatre's Studio Stage Dec. 5.
Truman Capote, or Tru to his friends, was a flamboyant writer who stood out from the crowd. His ability to weave truth with fiction led to some of his greatest works such as "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "In Cold Blood." This play gives a glimpse of the man behind the pen, the socially elite and at times outcast Tru, whose impact on literature still runs deep.
Featuring Jeff Haffner of Cleveland, Ohio, Tru is directed by Jackie McCall of Marengo and runs through Dec. 22 on The Old Creamery's Studio Stage in Middle Amana. Tickets are $27.50 for adults and $18 for students. Tru is sponsored by The Gethmann Organizations with KMRY as the media sponsor and is rated Theatre R.
Call the box office for tickets and information 319-622-6262 or visit us online at www.oldcreamery.com.
The Old Creamery Theatre is a not-for-profit professional theatre founded in 1971 in Garrison, Iowa. The Company is celebrating 42 years of bringing live, professional theatre to the people of Iowa and the Midwest.

I am trying to figure out why my base board heaters are not working properly. was wondering if someone could explain if everything was hooked up correctly. i have 3 heaters in one room with a wall mount thermostat. I put in a new heater, and new thermostat, nothing. there is power going to everything. there are 2 white wires and 2 black wires for thermostat. then 1 black and one white at the heater. i connected the red wires to white and black to black. also there is a ground wire at each location. is this right and what am i missing?
- Forum >
- Electrical & Lighting >
- base board heating
Is this a new install?
What is the voltage of the heaters?
If it is 220, is the breaker installed properly? Is it a double pole breaekr or two tandem mini breakers. What is the voltage between the two hot wires.
More details of the complete wiring would help also.

replacing old, for some reason two of the heaters in the room quit working. so i looked into it and found that they were getting power so it had to be the heater, so i bought a new heater but nothing happened. voltage is 220 at each black wire coming out of wall for thermostat and heater. it is a double pole breaker. there are two sets of wires at each location which come from the box. the thermostat is a 4 wire, and at the heater they had the 2 white wires twisted together, and then black on black. I don't know what else to tell you about it. it was working last year, could something have happened, like the breaker went bad? but i am still registering power at both locations.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

When your>"/>
Copyright Siiri Sampson 2011 For such a tiny little egg, this puppy packs a rich and versatile punch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
When your fridge starts to moan and groan from the monotony of the same lame ingredients, it's time for a culinary three-way. Turning a tired stovetop into a weekday workhorse, Voracious columnist Siiri Sampson brings a fresh, seasonal, or obscure ingredient to life with three treatments: decadent, healthy, and quick-fix.
Usually found atop a precisely prepared sushi roll, quail eggs aren't exactly what you'd call ordinary. In fact, outside of restaurant service, it's hard to find them in a grocery store or farmers market. However, any major city with a sizable Asian population has more than its share of dedicated markets. That is where this small yet powerful egg can be purchased in abundance.
For about $1 per carton (10-12 eggs), the options are limited only by the cook's imagination. Quail eggs, although tiny in comparison to those of their fowl cousin, the chicken, provide a delicate yet rich flavor to any dish. This week we explore a light yet substantial summer salad, a silky, hearty appetizer, and a fast brunch redux suitable for any time of day.
Decadent: Once a common potluck dish (think 1950's Tupperware parties), deviled eggs have certainly taken on a life of their own in the past decade as the comeback kid of restaurants across the nation. Most commonly seen today with truffle oil, the indulgence in these time-consuming, bite-sized babies is really about all the fatty goodness. Now there's another take on this dish that grandmothers would be surprised to see--deviled quail eggs. Barely bigger than a quarter in diameter, they're soft-boiled for four minutes and painstakingly peeled. Here's what happens next:
Copyright Siiri Sampson 2011 With one, tiny heavenly bite, you'll be hooked on this reinvented classic.
• Combine 6 yolks with 1 tablespoon olive-oil mayonnaise.
• Add 1 teaspoon yellow or Dijon mustard.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip mixture to mousse consistency.
If you haven't given up on the microscopic meal by this point, pipe the yolk mixture back into the whites. Top with pan-fried bits of pork belly and a scatter of capers, and drizzle with Kona garlic macadamia oil (because of course you've got that lying around). Enjoy every rich bite with a glass of chilled sauvignon blanc.
Healthy: If the idea of "healthy food that still tastes good" seems out of reach, the mighty quail egg comes to the rescue, with just 15 calories and a gram of protein apiece. By poaching them in simmering water, they're a fast, simple substitute for any meat in an entree salad. Here's the skinny:
Copyright Siiri Sampson 2011 It's hard to believe a dish with so many seasonal favorites can be so healthy, but since a starter size boasts only 140 calories, seeing (and tasting) is believing!
• Combine 1-2 cups lettuce with fresh sliced tomato and avocado.
• Poach quail eggs in simmering water with 1 tablespoon white wine (or rice) vinegar.
• Sautee thinly sliced shallots with 1 teaspoon of olive oil on high heat till crispy and brown.
• Toss with an easy dressing made from 1 part dijon, 2 parts lemon juice, and 3 parts olive oil.
• Plate salad and top with eggs, shallots, and shaved parmesan.
The richness of the yolk compliments the crunch of the frizzled shallots perfectly, while the lemon juice and zest keep the salad light enough for the hottest summer night. And for you who quiver at the thought of a runny yolk? Fear not: Simply whisk the egg lightly before dropping it into the simmering water. All the great flavor remains, without any undesirable runny stuff.
Copyright Siiri Sampson 2011 This time standing in for the classic sit-down dinner, a quick quail-egg and spicy chicken sausage breakfast combo delivers.
Quick Fix: No one is immune to the temptations of the drive-thru these days. When it's 8:30 on a Tuesday night and nary a cutting board has hit the counter, where do you start? Rather than stuff your piehole with dog-food-grade McBeef, go back to breakfast. This rendition uses a Chinese-style spicy pork and chicken sausage that has a hint of sweetness and fries up to a golden crunch. Here are the goods:
• Get a nonstick frying pan on medium high.
• When hot, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil.
• Add thinly sliced potatoes and sausage, cover, and reduce heat to medium for 5-10 minutes, till cooked through.
• Push to one side and fry quail eggs.
• Plate up and shred cheddar cheese over top to melt.
Since your frying pan takes less time to heat up than your minivan's engine, whip this up like a short-order cook and serve with cheddar and ketchup. In less than 15 minutes you've filled the void, saved some cash, and maybe even used up some leftovers from Sunday's brunch.

Liberals want to control everything you think, say, or do. They can't help it! If there's a way to force you out of your rights or make your life more uncomfortable, liberals will support it! Anything that benefits Americans or America will be met with screeching howls of protest from liberal mindless morons.
Fortunately, liberals are idiots who deal in theory and not reality. And there are more of us than them. Liberal think tanks (oxymoron alert!) and anti-American tortured ex-hippie college professors indoctrinate middle-class socialist brats into every stupid insult to our intelligence du jour.
There's no hypocrite like a liberal hypocrite. Al Gore, the Man Bear Pig, can make millions criticizing every modern convenience from electricity to air travel in the name of the fictitious
Global Warming Climate Change while flying around in a private jet and living in numerous homes that each consumes more power than Ecuador. Mooch Obama and singer/performer/whatever Beyonce campaign against use of the perfectly good word "bossy" because it may stigmatize little girls but have no problem with Beyonce's husband Jay Z rapping about ho's and bitches in his 'songs.' Hypocrite, thy name is Libtard!
So it's no surprise that America's Daddy Michael Bloomberg is funding an anti-gun campaign while knowing not the first little thing about guns other than they go boom and that he hates them. He's only looking out what's best for us like he did when ridding NYC of the evil 32 ounce soda!
The first ad in his new anti-gun campaign called "Every Town For Gun Safety" shows the ignorance on the very subject anti-gunners despise. Anyone who reads this page who isn't a LibTroll will immediately spot the stupidity of this ad:
Maybe his organization should be called Every Idiot Who Knows Nothing About Guns! But what do we expect from liberal "gun experts" who don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine? Or their asses from third base? Well, we can expect them to post an ad depicting the entire cartridge coming from the barrel when fired.
This is what we expect from libtards. Long on emotion and dishonesty, short on intelligence and fact. Liberals want to disarm the American people more than they want to moisturize. Why? Because they are peaceniks who visualize world peace? Hell no! Liberals are thugs who rule with an iron hand over those who have not the means to protect and defend themselves. Look to any communist country and judge for yourself how individual rights are respected! Those without guns always end up on the wrong side of them.
How different would the Bundy Ranch scenario at Tianamoo Square have turned out if armed patriots hadn't shown up and been prepared to shoot back against the government oppressors who found it acceptable to train sniper weapons on peaceful protesters and throw pregnant women to the ground? Even with help from freedom-loving patriots, Bundy had cattle slaughtered and property destroyed by the government thugs! Tyranny. Nothing more, nothing less.
It would be interesting to see liberals go after the criminals who create the majority of gun crime in America and seek to impose the death penalty on the repeat offenders. But liberals hate them some death penalty and refuse to acknowledge from whom most gun violence comes. They'd rather abort babies.
So AWD respectfully says to anti-gun tyrannists like Michael Bloomberg "kiss my ass!" I'll not surrender my guns nor my rights to a corrupt ruling class that would just as soon kill or imprison me than suffer my Constitutionally-protected rights. Our rights are not given from those corruptocrats and they will not take them from us without a fight.
Actually, there is something faster than a speeding bullet. A liberal trying to take your rights!
Molon labe!

There is a option to acknowledge the claim, or to assert copyright yourself but no way of saying the claimant is wrong. I tried to follow this up but the response was that if I am not the song owner, it's not my concern.

Everyone in town knew Mr. Webster
He worked at the bank for forty years
And each week Mr. Frisby made his check out
For sixty-eight dollars, clear
And through the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies
Each time Frisby promised him a raise
They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster
Everyone from the bank was there
They had a cake and flowers ordered special
And Frisby had a speech prepared
And a little white box, in it had a little watch with this inscription
"To Mr. Webster, with regards"
Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster
Said, "Sorry, stop, cannot attend
I've flown away and taken all your money
Wish you were here to help me spend"
And one by one all the people left the party
And Mr. Frisby locked the door

OOK, Once I Owned a Kestrel, is now being revamped. Previously, it was to be released solely on iPhone and iPad. Now, iPhone, iPad, and other mobile devices are dropped and it will be primarily a desktop project. Welcome to the new OOK. Enjoy.
I spent some time designing a HUD, again. This must be the 5th iteration. Finally I am pleased. This HUD displays less information than my other designs, but has a nice level of visual complexity, and fits with some changes I'm making to how radar works. There is no need for the level of information presented before.

Disease in the Developing World
Level 4, 10 Credits.
This course discusses the problems posed by diseases that are specifically tropical or ones that stem from deficiencies in water supply and sanitation provision. The approach adopted is an ecological one and gives particular attention to control through habitat modification and technology transfer.
Designing your Edible Garden
Level 3, 10 Credits.
This Edible Garden Design course will explore how to design a low maintenance food garden which is also a wildlife haven and a place of relaxation and beauty. Growing veg doesn't mean your garden needs to be an allotment! Learn how to design a garden that fits in with your lifestyle, your needs and desires.
Edible Landscaping - The Fruit Garden

Herbal Medicine
Level 4, 20 Credits.
Most of the world's population use plants as their main source of medicine. In this course we will concentrate on the traditional use of plants in Western herbal medicine but will also look at some of those in use in other cultures around the world. There will be an introduction to the main body systems and the safe and effective use of plants for common ailments.

Medical Imaging and the Human Body
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Up until the 20th century, our understanding of human anatomy came largely from dissection. Beginning with a brief history of anatomy, we will examine how the application of x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance and a range of other techniques allow us to construct different images, and so develop a more detailed and non-invasive understanding of the human body.
Astronomy in Action
Level 3, 10 Credits.

This course will visit a number of key locations, mostly coastal and mostly in the north of the county, examining rocks formed during Precambrian, Cambrian and Ordovician times. The course is divided into 2 weekends to maximise safe access to beaches, and no prior knowledge of geology will be assumed. Please note you will need to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements, with meeting time and place to be confirmed. Field Trip 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Sunday 25th October 2015 Saturday 24th October 2015 Sunday 11th October 2015 Saturday 10th October 2015
Field Geology in Pembrokeshire (Part 2)

This course will visit a number of key coastal locations in south Pembrokeshire, examining rocks formed during the Silurian, Devonian and Carboniferous periods.
The Garden in Art
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Gardens and landscapes form more than a mere background in art and culture. They can fulfil a symbolic function and provide a commentary on the aesthetic and social attitudes of a particular era. This course will look at the garden in art and culture from depictions of Paradise and the Garden of Eden in Medieval and Renaissance paintings to evocations of a past golden age in the literature and wider arts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The Private House and Garden
Level 4, 10 Credits.
Closed doors and high garden walls conceal private houses, landscapes and gardens that are rarely glimpsed by the public. Without resorting to physical access, we will venture on a privileged tour of secret and spectacular houses and gardens created over the past 400 years that vary from the utterly modern to the traditional, and from rural to urban.
Women and Gardens
Level 4, 10 Credits.
The contribution of women to the development of gardens has often been an overlooked aspect of garden history, with women largely been associated with ephemeral forms of planting, rather than the substance of the structure. We shall investigate what happened in reality using examples from Queen Caroline, through the gentry garden creators such as Lady Luxborough, to the women who had to beat their own path in the early twentieth century.
Timeless Gardens of the Edwardian Era
Level 4, 10 Credits.
The Arts and Crafts Movement inspired landscape design in one of the richest periods in garden making in the twentieth century. This course explores the origins of garden styles which are identified with that phase, 1900 – 1914, often referred to as the belle époque. Discussions and lectures aim to bring into focus the differing aspirations of the creators of these iconic gardens.
Coastal Biology
Level 4, 10 Credits.
From molluscs and crabs on rocky shores to birds, butterflies and orchids in sand dunes, we will investigate a wide range of wildlife groups. The course provides an ideal introduction to the flora and fauna of coastal ecosystems, such as estuaries, rocky shores and sand dunes, and how they have adapted to their environment.

I was browsing over some code in the OpenCV page when it came to accessing Pixel Data
IplImage* img=cvCreateImage(cvSize(640,480),IPL_DEPTH_32F,3);
CvScalar s;
s=cvGet2D(img,i,j); // get the (i,j) pixel value
printf("B=%f, G=%f, R=%f\n",s.val[0],s.val[1],s.val[2]);
cvSet2D(img,i,j,s); // set the (i,j) pixel value
I had done something similar, but I used the Template Class provided to access pixel data......anyways Im not sure I understand the part s.val[0]=111....etc? if s.val[0] contains the B value, what exactly is s.val[0]=111 doing? is it setting it to black?........I dont understand exactly what it's supposed to be?
Im used to CVscalars and such but I dont understand this format? Specifically what 111 means?

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by LaurenB Perfect for small spaces I bought this product for some light cardio in my small apartment and its perfect for just that. it was a little wiggly at first so you really need someone with muscles to be able to tighten everything up; after that it was perfect. for the price i would 100% recommend this product April 3, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by lady123 The machine is quiet and small I like the product but it isn't very steady. easy to assemble and it doesn't take up much space. The screws seem to come loose after use and you have to tighten them each time before you can use. It works for me but would not work for someone that is looking for a intense workout. February 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lynn35 This is great on days that I am at home to exercise. It's the right size for my home. It's always out so I don't forget to exercise. November 16, 2015

NFL fines Cardinals' Wilson $10K for horse-collar tackle
Updated: November 17, 2007, 4:50 PM ETBy Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
Arizona Cardinals strong safety Adrian Wilson has been fined $10,000 by league officials for a "horse collar" tackle in last Sunday's 31-21 victory over the Detroit Lions.
The play which drew the fine was a second-quarter run by Kevin Jones on which Wilson dropped the Detroit tailback for a four-yard loss deep in Lions' territory.Wilson was not penalized by game officials on the play. But during the standard review of game videotapes, members of the league's officiating ...

Operation of Fixed Generators
PA ID# 009-UNSNJ-00; Trimble Township Wastewater Treatment District
PW ID# 982; Operation of Fixed Generators
Citation: FEMA-4077-DR-OH, Trimble Township Wastewater Treatment District, Operation of Fixed Generators
Cross-Reference: Increased Operating Costs
Summary: During the incident period of June 29 through July 2, 2012, strong winds and severe storms produced extensive damage throughout Trimble Township causing downed utility lines and widespread power outages for multiple days. The Trimble Township Wastewater Treatment District (Applicant) utilized five fixed generators and two portable generators during the event to support emergency protective measures at the wastewater treatment plant, main lift station, and remote lift stations. FEMA prepared Project Worksheet (PW) 982 to fund the force account labor costs associated with emergency protective measures, fuel for the fixed generators, and usage of the temporary generators based on FEMA equipment rates. FEMA obligated $8,187 to the PW on December 19, 2012. Because five of the generators were fixed generators, FEMA did not reimburse the use of those five generators based on FEMA's schedule of equipment rates, but reimbursed the fuel costs ($3,351). The Applicant submitted a first appeal for $16,947, asserting that reimbursement for the fixed generator usage should be based on FEMA's schedule of equipment rates. The FEMA Region V Regional Administrator denied the first appeal, explaining that the depreciation and ownership costs of permanently mounted generators are built into the cost of operating the facility. The Applicant submitted a second appeal, for $16,947, reiterating its request for FEMA to apply equipment rates in reimbursing the costs of operating the fixed generators. The Applicant included photographs of the generators and a copy of the Applicant's insurance policy for the generators with its appeal. The Grantee's second appeal transmittal letter states that the Applicant's insurance covers the generators but that the Applicant does not budget for replacement for the generators. The Grantee further states that the generators are affixed to concrete slabs outside of each facility, and the generator ownership costs are separate and distinct from those of each facility. The Grantee's letter also cites a second appeal under FEMA-EM-3288-FL, dated January 17, 2012, involving a Miami-Dade County, Florida, project for which FEMA funded fixed generator costs using FEMA's schedule of equipment rates.
Issues: 1. Is Applicant's usage of fixed generators as emergency protective measures eligible for reimbursement under the Public Assistance program?
2. Are FEMA equipment rates appropriate for reimbursing fixed generator usage?
Findings: 1. Yes. The Applicant's costs for usage of fixed generators are eligible.
2. No. Equipment rates include ownership costs. The only increased cost associated with the usage of fixed generators is the cost of the fuel used.
Rationale: 44 CFR § 206.226; Public Assistance Guide (FEMA 322), pages 54-55, 85; Public Assistance Digest (FEMA 321), page 135

Daniel Gene Jeffrey doesn't let a thing like being in jail put a damper on his 14-year-old-boy flirtin' game. Nope. Police say he's quite the romantic--a regular Don Juan DeCreepo.
The P-I reports:
Writing the court, Washington State Patrol Detective William Steen said the woman was surprised when a package containing clothing, jewelry, cologne and a cell phone arrived at her home along with a federal prisoner property form in Jeffrey's name. The detective noted that the phone contained nude photos of the boy.
The mom apparently continued to intercept letters between 29-year-old Jeffrey and her son over the course of several weeks, and they got weirder and weirder. One apparently started as an angry rant about wanting to "fuck him up" but ended with a marriage proposal.
Others allegedly had naked photos Jeffrey made the boy take of himself.
During the course of the supposed pen-pal relationship, Jeffrey went from an Illinois jail to a California jail, held on a probation violation from a three-year stint in prison on counterfeiting charges.
Now he'll be hauled up to Washington to face charges of communication with a minor for immoral purposes and being a world-class idiot.

Here are three picks for tonight:
The Black Lips at the Croc 9 p.m., $12. Brian Barr makes a bold claim in this week's Short
Here are three picks for tonight:
The Black Lips at the Croc 9 p.m., $12. Brian Barr makes a bold claim in this week's Short List:
"The Black Lips are officially the greatest young garage band in America. Those of us who prefer our music ragged, dirty and unhinged have depended on the Black Lips for years. Folks like us were amused when the band puked on stage, peed on each other, and whipped their peckers out for guitar solos (it reminded us of Iggy, sorry…) But naysayers were quick to denounce them as gimmicky. No more. Their new record, Good Bad Not Evil finds the band stepping up in a big way. They've turned down the volume a touch, but the record still sounds completely untamed. This is vintage stuff; a combination of LSD anthems, greaser rock, flower punk, country-tinged pop, and pop-tinged country, all delivered by a bunch of charmers trying hard to be perceived as bad-boys. But more importantly, they're trying to do something different. With the Spits and the Girls."
Bob Mould at Chop Suey, 9 p.m. $15 adv. The Hüsker Dü guitarist, singer and songwriter will be performing solo along with a screening of the DVD "Circle of Friends", not the one with a plump Minnie Driver. Listen to him live at 4 p.m. today on KEXP.
In case you missed their jam packed set at last Saturday's REVERBfest, get another shot to see at The Maldives channel the Old 97s West Seattle's Skylark Cafe tonight with the Apple War and the Geese. And it's 100% free. Get there early and order up a Ghetto Platter- "Tater tots, onion rings, and chicken tenders served with a variety of dipping sauces for the ultimate ghettofab experience."
