Taal Volcano's (14.0000°N, 120.9833°E) seismic network recorded four (4) volcanic earthquakes during the past 24-hour observation period. Field measurements conducted on 25 September 2012 at the eastern sector of the Main Crater Lake yielded slight increase in water temperature of 33.6°C from 32.6°C, an increase in water level of 1.14 meters from 0.97 meters and slight increase in acidity of pH 2.72 from pH 2.80. Ground deformation survey (precise leveling) on the Volcano Island last 9-19 July 2012 indicated no significant change compared with February 2012, but is nonetheless still inflated compared with baseline data. GPS data for the period of February 2011 to August 2012 show slight inflation, indicating that the edifice is still slightly inflated compared to February 2011 baseline data. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission at the Main Crater Lake increased to 627 tonnes per day on 07 July 2012 compared to 482 tonnes per day last 18 October 2011.

The discovery of breast cancer can be devastating, particularly if the disease is relatively advanced or the tumor itself is quite large. California resident Angela Robinson certainly felt overwhelmed when a mammogram revealed a softball-sized growth in her breast.
She told the San Juan Capistrano Patch that her diagnosis was especially surprising because she was careful to have yearly breast health checkups. However, physicians explained that the tumor could have gone unnoticed for up to a decade.
Doctors told Robinson that she had Stage III breast cancer, meaning the disease had spread to distant parts of her body. She recalled being given a 20 percent chance of survival.
This prognosis is more or less in line with the average five-year survival rate quoted by the National Cancer Institute for metastasized breast carcinomas: 23 percent.
Soon thereafter, the treatment process moved rather fast for Robinson. She explained to the news source that within 10 months, she'd had chemotherapy, a bilateral mastectomy, a breast reconstruction and radiation treatment.
Today, the fully recovered mother of two is happy, healthy and energetic. Robinson is coordinating her local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, which will take place this month, the news source concluded.

Extract: The discovery of breast cancer can be devastating, particularly if the disease is relatively advanced or the tumor itself is quite large. California resident Angela Robinson certainly felt overwhelmed when a mammogram revealed a softball-sized growth in her breast.

Recon Technology Introduces Baker Hughes Frac-Point(TM) System To Sinopec
BEIJING, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd (Nasdaq: RCON), a Chinese non-state-owned oil and gas automation services provider (the "Company"), announced today that one of its variable interest entities, Beijing BHD Petroleum Technology Co., Ltd. ("BHD"), introduced the Baker Hughes Frac-Point TM System to China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation's ("Sinopec") Zhongyuan oilfield. The system helped Sinopec complete the fracturing of a dense sandstone horizontal well that required multistate fracturing. This cooperation positions BHD very well in meeting Sinopec's further fracturing needs. As of March 19, 2012, BHD has signed several contracts with an accumulated contract value of RMB 30 million (approximately $4.75 million). These contracts will be performed in different stages and are expected to be completed during the first half of 2012. "Our goal is to become a leading oilfield full-service provider by providing safe and efficient products and services to our oilfield clients," Mr. Chen Guangqiang, Recon's CTO, said, "Our clients' needs always guide our business development. With further exploration and development of oilfields, the level of reserved crude oil gradually decreases, as does the output. We believe fracturing technology is the most effective way to increase the output and economic benefits of increasingly depleted oilfields. Recon realized early on the importance of the horizontal multistage fracturing technology and established a professional task force to research and test its applicability in China. Our team has engaged in substantial field work across China and abroad to investigate the fracturing technology to meet our long-term clients' needs. We see these contracts as the result of this hard work.""As a smaller company, our strategy is to be the leader of the very specialized oilfield service sector. We aim to improve our technological knowhow and to accumulate experience by cooperating with leading international companies to represent and promote their advanced products in China," Mr. Chen continued, "Last year we qualified to develop the Frac-Point™ Completion System of Baker Hughes for Zhongyuan Oilfield, a subsidiary of Sinopec. The system is widely used around the world and has been installed in more than 2,200 oil-gas wells, 150 of which are located in China. We assisted Zhongyuan Oilfield last year testing the system in one well and achieved outstanding results. In this case, after the installation of the system, output of oil increased to 6.2 times the previous level and gas production to 4.6 times the previous level. It is our honor to be among the select few domestic suppliers designated by Sinopec of the horizontal multistage fracturing technology. BHD and Sinopec have now signed contracts to provide this technology for ten wells in the Zhongyuan Oilfield." Mr. Chen also stated, "The horizontal fracturing technology is prioritized in Sinopec's internal Twelfth Five-Year Plan. Sinopec plans to introduce the fracturing technology to 1,100 of its wells each year over at least the next 3 years. Based on an estimated average investment of RMB 3 million per well, it is a tremendous market of RMB 3.3 billion per year. We will seek to participate in this initiative to the greatest extent possible and improve our service experience, in order to promote this technology and increase our market share in Zhongyuan and other oilfields across China."

I'm not sure if this is a server or dekstop question because I'm not sure where the problem is, but I'll start here.
I have a user that cannot delete files on his desktop, and now can't change his desktop background. He is a networked user on a 10.6.2 iMac. His account is on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 server. When I try to delete the file, it prompts for administrator authentication. I enter it in, but nothing happens. No errors appear and the file doesn't delete. When I look at the details, it says "com.apple.desktopservices". I have done the following things:
1. Reapplied rights to his folder in the Get Info Box
2. Deleted him from Workgroup Manager and re-created his account
3. Checked that the file isn't locked
4. Checked that the desktop folder isn't locked
5. Verified his permissions are correct on all folders
6. Ran Disk Utility on his machine
7. Tried his account on another machine (same result as on his machine)
Based on another forum, I moved the com.apple.desktop.plist file out of his library and logged him in again. The only thing that I noticed is the background picture changed back to default. I moved the file back, but the desktop picture is still back to default and if I go into System Prefences, I can't change the background or screen saver.
Something is messed up somewhere with his desktop settings, but I can't figure out where. Does anyone have any ideas?

Expiration Date:?Nov 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.12 lbs (0.51 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Enabling Information Retrieval from Conversational Speech Archives via Crowdsourcing
|This is an ongoing project.
Contact DetailsMatt Lease
You will have the opportunity to contribute to active research in our lab. The lab typically includes 4-5 graduate students to interact with, and a shared lab space to optionally work in.
This project was featured in WIRED: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/03/darpa-speech
Advances in capture and storage technology now let us archive massive amounts of spontaneous (conversational) speech data. However, effective use of this data requires accurate information retrieval technology designed for and evaluated on spontaneous speech data. Unfortunately, traditional practice for benchmarking search engine accuracy cannot scale to "big data", especialy for conversational speech. This restricts our ability to even measure the effectiveness of existing search engines, much less further advance them.
Evaluating search with spontaneous speech archives is particularly challenging vs. more traditional text collections. Unlike text, speech must first be transcribed, and while prepared speech (e.g. broadcast news) transcripts are very readable, spontaneous speech transcripts are often very difficult to read, even with perfect transcription, due to "disfluency" (self-corrections, trailing off, interruptions, etc.) and lack of commas and sentence boundaries. Human editing to correct this would require even greater manual effort. As a result, few spontaneous speech IR test collections exist today.
We are investigating use of nascent crowdsourcing (crowd computing) techniques in concert with "rich transcription" technology. While crowdsourcing offers tremendous potential for time and cost savings, how to achieve these savings without compromising quality remains an open research problem. As a case study, we are investigating search of spontaneous speech interviews with Holocaust eye-witnesses collected by the Shoah Foundation.
For example interviews, see: https://sfi.usc.edu/clipviewer

Looking for a place to watch the United States' World Cup match tomorrow that will put you within a stone's throw of Artopia when the final horn sounds? Done and done: Georgetown Liquor Company, which, as Caleb Hannan noted in our favorite restaurant issue, "will serve you the best vegan sandwich you've had in Seattle, and will do so with absolutely no airs," is opening an hour early--10 a.m.--and will be offering discounted food specials during the match.
Justin Dylan Renney A temple of futbol? On Saturday, anyway.
Or is it game? And is it a pitch, or a field? It doesn't really matter, provided Landon Donovan scores at least one goal and doesn't go completely bald by game's end. Equally important is that fans migrate a few blocks south to the epicenter of Artopia, a free, family-friendly (albeit booze-soaked) carnival that starts at 2 and will close with a 10:30 screening of Bobcat Goldthwait's Shakes the Clown in The Stables' courtyard (5907 Airport Way S).Dubbed "the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies" by the Boston Globe at the time of its release in 1991, Shakes marked Goldthwait's screenwriting and directorial debut (he also stars as the title character, alongside Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Kathy Griffin, Tom Kenny and Florence Henderson). Fresh off a pants-free set at Sasquatch!, Goldthwait is flying up from Los Angeles to introduce the film personally, and will chillax at an after-party in the same space thrown by Washington Bus. Don't miss it.

Ferrero, the Italian chocolate company, has called an international review of its media planning and buying business, putting the UK incumbent, MEC, on alert.
It is understood that the review is in the early stages and is being supervised by Accenture Media Management.
WPP's MEC handles the business in the UK, where the confectioner spends £12.3 million on brands including Nutella.
A Ferrero spokeswoman said: "Ferrero has invited a multinational media agency pitch. It comprises a comprehensive process, structure and service comparison, as well as case studies to show the conceptual and strategic potential of the agencies."
Krow, which works on Ferrero's creative business in the UK, is not affected.

Friend & Greig Laugh in Little Dog\'s UK Premiere
Terri Paddock • West End • 4 Sep 2009
Set in New York, The Little Dog Laughed is a four-hander centring on Mitchell (Friend), a Hollywood actor who, out of loneliness and boredom at his ailing career, decides to call a male escort hotline. Alex answers the call and meets him in his hotel room. The two form an unlikely friendship and both get far more out of the evening's events than either originally planned.
Rupert Friend is best known for his screen roles in films including The Young Victoria and Cheri, opposite Michelle Pfeiffer, and the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
Tamsin Greig, who has been cast as Mitchell's acerbic agent, is best known to TV fans from the likes of Green Wing, Love Soup and Black Books. Her stage credits include Much Ado About Nothing (for which she won the 2006 Best Actress Olivier), God of Carnage and Gethsemane.
The Little Dog Laughed opened Off-Broadway in January 2006 before transferring to Broadway later that year and going on to win a Tony Award for Best Play. The title refers to a short story written by the fictional character Arturo Bandini in John Fante's 1930s Los Angeles-set novel Ask the Dust.
Jamie Lloyd's recent West End productions include Three Days of Rain, Piaf and the Pinter double bill of The Lover and The Collection. Writer Beane\'s other credits including penning the book for the Broadway musical Xanadu.
Ahead of The Little Dog Laughed at the Garrick, South African musical The Mysteries (Yiimimangaliso), a radical reinvention of the Chester Mystery Plays, runs for 25 performances only from 11 September to 3 October 2009 (See News, 12 Jun 2009). It's followed by Italian d quick-change artist Arturo Brachetti new one-man show Change from 26 October 2009 (previews from 19 October) to 3 January 2010 (See News, 27 Aug 2009).

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiberlink®, the leader in cloud-based solutions for enterprise mobility today announced it is the first mobile device management provider to be listed on the Cloud Security Alliance's (CSA) Security, Trust and Assurance Registry (STAR). As an official STAR member, Fiberlink customers can be assured that MaaS360 offers the fastest time to trust for mobile cloud services with the highest levels of security, transparency, and reliability in the industry.
With a view to encouraging security best practices for cloud providers, Fiberlink joins Amazon, Microsoft, HP, Box.com and a handful of other leading cloud vendors as an early entry in the STAR registry. The registry is based in part on the CSA Cloud Control Matrix (CCM), a guide to assess the security risks of a cloud provider based on regulations such as PCI, FedRAMP and ISO 27001/27002.
"Today's highly complex regulatory environment combined with pressures to manage a wide range of mobile devices and applications means that organizations moving into the cloud require structure, detail and clarity relating to security," said David Lingenfelter, information security officer at Fiberlink. "We look forward to bringing our enterprise mobility expertise and insight to this CSA initiative, helping shape the future of security in the cloud, while working alongside other experts in this rapidly evolving space."
Cloud providers must be transparent if businesses are to gain their trust. Openness on the part of cloud providers and willingness to show businesses that security and operational controls meet or exceed their expectations is essential to building consumer trust. The CSA STAR registry is designed to help in that process of trust building.
"We are pleased to have Fiberlink join the group of industry leaders taking part in the CSA STAR program," said Jim Reavis, Executive Director of the CSA. "We welcome their expertise and contributions to our ongoing research and education initiatives that continue to improve security standards in the cloud."
As the first and only MDM provider with authority to operate under FISMA and SOC 2 Type II compliance since 2007, MaaS360 meets the most rigorous standards for enterprise grade security and operations. Fiberlink is also a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program, an independent organization whose mission is to build user's trust and confidence by promoting the use of fair information practices.
About MaaS360
MaaS360 by Fiberlink simplifies mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and secure document sharing in the BYOD era. Trusted by small businesses, government agencies, universities, and large enterprises worldwide, MaaS360 enables mobile policies that boost productivity, protect employee privacy, and secure sensitive data across smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

TOPEAK Defender front & rear fenders
I got the bike on Saturday, figuring I'd be able to go without the accessories, but I was wrong. I got tired of getting sprayed in the face by gravel flying out of the stock Tioga tires. I changed tires to something more suited for the road, but with some tread on there to handle a little bit of loose stuff and rain. The fenders were a must with it coming into the rain here in the PNW, and with showers a questionable thing at work, I'd rather not show up speckle-faced.
Top speed so far: 44.0MPH blowing by cars coming down Fairgrounds Rd. heading towards 303 in East Bremerton.
Here is my relatively new build up. I usually ride it fixed and with panniers for the commute. This machine is pretty much the real deal. Nishiki Cresta GT frame, Nitto moustache with cloth tape and twine whipping instead of electrical tape, velocity deep V - 32 3X on formula high flange hubs, 7410 DA crankset, Brooks Team Pro, MEC 40L panniers, incredibell,etc, etc. Steel is Real!
Cross-posted with another thread about the utility of an old Specialized as a commuter. Here's the Bomber, now with drops and brifters:
Very nice looking rig, should get many happy miles out of that one. I myself am waiting on a GT frame from the 90's to show up from fedex today. I just hope the frame is not damaged. If so, No biggie, the whole thing was like 18 dollars including shipping.
Brokenankle: This is gorgeous. Well done!Quote:

I usually fit everything I need in the trunk, not really having needed to drop the mini-panniers to use yet.
So, a while back I posted a photo of my commuting/touring/do everything bike:
Alas, I rear-ended a car in August - talk about embarrassing! - and tweaked the front end of the Miyata in the collision. The frame could no longer be considered safe to ride, so I had to purchase a new bicycle. I scraped together some funds, borrowed some dough from my parents, salvaged as many parts as I could from the old bicycle and went down to the LBS and ordered a Surly Long Haul Trucker! The LHT is intended to perform the same duties as the old Miyata in supporting my car-free lifestyle. It's not as pretty as my old Miyata, but it's an amazing ride. It's a 30 lb unstoppable tank of a bike, and I love it. It rides like it's on rails and just soaks up rough pavement. Tons of clearance for big tires and fenders, and I'm sure it'll haul any load with aplomb and style. I'll be replacing that beat-up old saddle with a Brooks B-17 real soon, probably this weekend. Without further ado, here it is:
See that huge gap between the rear fender and seatpost? That where my road morph pump goes! :D
This color really needs to be seen in bright sunlight to be fully appreciated - it sparkles and gleams. It really looks incredible. It is a bit dull in dimmer light. Next time I wrap the handlebars, I intend to give it a bit more "flash."
Random gratuitous drivetrain shot! Deore derailer on an 8-speed cassette. That huge cog in the back there is a 34-tooth. Useful for hauling a full load of groceries up the ginormous hill I live near!
congratulations, grolby. she's beautiful!
Grolby: VERY NICE. I like *very* much!
Aww, thanks guys, you're making me blush! :o
I just finished installing that Brooks on the Surly - it looks great, feel about as hard as wood! I'm just about to take it on its first ride, out to do some errands around town and then off to work for a few hours. Wish me luckl!
Grolby, what an outstanding bike. Are those 26in or 700c wheels?
Caloso - thanks! Those are 26" wheels (I'm a short fella with a 50cm frame).
grolby, i am so jealous. it's beautiful!
BAH, man, you do some beautiful photography!
Here's mine. 2002 Schwinn Mesa GSD. Changed the front fork out for a Nashbar steel suspension corrected fork, Specialized Armadillo 26x1.95 semi slicks, put some Nashbar trekking bars and the goodies for riding at night. Seems to work pretty good so far.
wow, i completely agree. brokenankle's is pretty fantastic as well IMHO FWIW LOLQuote:

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
