We review studies claiming that fish feel pain and find deficiencies in the methods used for pain identification, particularly for distinguishing unconscious detection of injurious stimuli (nociception) from conscious pain. Results were also frequently misinterpreted and not replicable, so claims th...
Tuna are unusual among fish in that they are warm bodied. It is agreed that one adaptive advantage to being warm is that the warmth increases the rate of delivery of oxygen from the cell boundary to the mitochondria by myoglobin. Tuna have extremely high rates of oxygen uptake, much higher than othe...
Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were injected with an adrenergic agonist. an adrenergic antagonist, or a cholinergic antagonist, via a dorsal aorta cannula. Spleen size and haemoglobin content were measured at rest and, for antagonists, following an air exposure stress. Injection of phentolamine...
Growth hormone transgenic coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch fed at the same ration level as non-transgenic controls (Tc) had the same growth rate as non-transgenic controls (Nt). In contrast, growth hormone transgenic coho salmon (Tf) fed ad libitum ate about twice as much and had much higher growth ...
We examined the effects of midline and off midline incision locations, acid incisions closed with monofilament or silk suture on spontaneous swimming behaviour in fish. Each fish had a dummy transmitter surgically implanted into its peritoneal cavity. The behaviour of fish in each treatment was esti...
Specific activity and kinetic constants of trypsin from the pyloric caeca of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were estimated. Although one group was fed more than twice as much as the other (1.8 compared with 0.7% body weight daily), there was no significant difference in the weight of the pyloric ca...
Giant bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) warm their viscera during and after a meal. The caecum of a 500-kg bluefin weighs about 9 kg and contains about 20 000 pyloric caeca, each about 10 cm long and 1.5 mm diameter. Trypsin was assayed with α-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide HCl and chymotrypsin wi...
The effects of the acetic acid "pain" test on feeding, swimming, and respiratory responses of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
The acetic acid test is commonly used in conscious mammals to determine nociceptive thresholds and efficacy of analgesics. The purpose of the present study was to examine the response of rainbow trout that were not anaesthetised during the acetic acid test. Rainbow trout (n=31) were trained to eat i...
The objective of our study was to estimate the overall (aerobic and anaerobic) energy expenditure involved in hatching in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) embryos. During hatching, there were significant increases (50% and 19%, respectively) in movement and oxygen consumption. There were no diffe...
Removal of the chorion before hatching results in increased movement and accelerated growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) embryos
We investigated the effects of the chorion on movement and growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) embryos. To test if the chorion restricts movement and growth before hatching, we manually removed the chorion 3-6 days before the natural time of hatching (dechorionated) and compared movement, ...
Gill morphology of the mangrove killifish (Kryptolebias marmoratus) is plastic and changes in response to terrestrial air exposure
Amphibious mangrove killifish, Kryptolebias marmoratus (formerly Rivulus marmoratus), are frequently exposed to aerial conditions in their natural environment. We tested the hypothesis that gill structure is plastic and that metabolic rate is maintained in response to air exposure. During air exposu...
The purposes of the present study were to examine the rate of morphine uptake in goldfish (Carassius auratus (L., 1758)) when administered via the water, to calculate the pharmacokinetics of morphine when administered intraperitoneally, and to determine whether morphine could act as an analgesic. Wh...
The effects of the acetic acid "pain" test on feeding, swimming, and respiratory responses of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Gill tissue was sampled from salmon (Salmo salar) that were transgenic for somatotropin and from non-transgenic control salmon. The transgenics were the F2 generation produced using eggs from a transgenic F1 female and milt from a non-transgenic male. At the time when the gill tissues were sampled, ...
As growth hormone transgenic Atlantic salmon consume more food to support their rapid growth, a study was conducted to determine if the morphology of the digestive tract would reflect these accelerated processes. Offspring from a non-transgenic cross that was spawned on the same day as the test fish...
In 1996, F2 growth hormone-transgenic Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were produced using eggs from a transgenic F1 female and milt from a non-transgenic male. Non-transgenic control fish were also produced from the same stock. All fish were reared at 12-13°C and fed a commercial pelleted ration for ...
Pain is a major sympton in many medical conditions, and often interferes significantly with a person's quality of life. Although a priority topic in medical research for many years, there are still few analgesic drugs approved for clinical use. One reason is the lack of appropriate animal model...

Understanding Your Type of Testicular Cancer
If you have testicular cancer, your doctor will want to find out what type it is. Knowing the type helps your doctor decide the best way to treat it.
More than 90 percent of testicular cancers begin in a type of cell in the testicles called a germ cell. These are the cells that give rise to sperm. There are two main types of germ cell tumors: seminomas and nonseminomas. These two types have been found to occur almost equally.
About 10 percent of testicular cancers do not begin in germ cells. These types are much less common. They are called stromal tumors.
Secondary testicular tumors are tumors that start in other parts of the body and then spread to the testicles.
Cancer in the cells that make sperm, called germ cells, is called seminoma. Seminomas tend to grow slowly and often respond very well to treatment.
There are two types of seminomas. These are called typical (classical) and spermatocytic seminomas. More than 90 percent of seminomas are typical. Typical seminomas are usually found in men between the ages of 25 and 45. Spermatocytic seminomas tend to occur later in life. The average age of diagnosis is 65.
Cancer that grows in the embryonic germ cells is called nonseminoma. Nonseminomas grow faster than seminomas. They are slightly less common than seminomas and occur in men between their late teens and early 30s. They tend to spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen and to other parts of the body.
These are the subtypes of nonseminomas:
Embryonal carcinomas. This type of nonseminoma tends to grow and spread quickly. Under a microscope, these tumors look similar to tissue in early embryos.
Yolk sac carcinomas. This is the most common form of germ cell tumor in infants and boys. These are usually treated successfully when found in children. They can be harder to treat in adults.
Choriocarcinomas. This type of nonseminoma is very rare and tends to be aggressive. It often spreads quickly to other parts of the body.
Teratomas. Under a microscope these tumors look like the three layers of tissue in a growing embryo. They are rarely the only type of cell present.
Stromal tumors
The stroma are tissues in the testicles that make hormones. Stromal tumors start in these tissues. There are two main kinds of stromal tumors: Leydig cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors. Overall, stromal cell tumors make up less than 5 percent of all adult cases of testicular cancer, but up to 20 percent of all childhood cases.
Secondary testicular tumors
Secondary tumors are tumors that start in another part of your body and spread to your testicles. For example, lymphoma, a kind of cancer of the lymph nodes, can spread to the testicles. In men age 50 and older, secondary testicular cancer that begins as lymphoma is more common than tumors that start in the testicles. The most common secondary testicular cancer is lymphoma. Other cancers that may spread to your testicles include lung, melanoma, kidney, and prostate cancer.

Reviews for Fudgy Peanut Butter Cake
"This was a delicious cake and so easy. Never made any cakes in a crock pot but this was very good."
"I made 1-1/2 recipe because my crock pot is larger than 1-1/2 qts. I used more peanut butter, but it still did not have a strong enough peanut butter taste. We all agreed that this was just okay. I will not make it again."
"This is fantastic! I followed the recipe, and it was a big hit. I'll definitely be making this again; it's the perfect dessert size for two adults and a kiddo on a busy week night!"
"Wonderful! Made it 2x now. Once the way the recipe says and once chocolate version. I used nutella in place of the peanut butter and served that version with mint chocolate chip ice cream. very good :)"
"I just LOVED this but it just made a tiny, tiny bit. I think it is made in a little bitty crock pot. Is that correct? What do I need to do to increase the recipe?"

This is what I awoke to this morning. Maybe I'm in another dimension or something, but...isn't it May 24th??? My poor potted flowers!
So much for the barbeque we were going to have tonight...I think instead we will have stew and cornbread and maybe some Christmas cookies for dessert. What's even weirder is it's supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow, and 80 on Wednesday! That's why I am so confused. I think Utah is one of the few places where you can go snow skiing and water skiing on the same weekend.
Anyway...market was wonderful! (I kinda forgot to mention I was going...) I have some great pictures to share with you, and I will be posting all about it in the very near future. I didn't exhibit this time, and I'm not gonna lie, it was so nice to just cruise around with Lucy and Chelsea and see what everyone else was doing for a change! The booths were first class, and the fabrics and patterns were FABULOUS! There were some changes with designers moving around...I even have a little announcement to make of my own, but not yet.
First I need to unpack and do my laundry, among other things:)

text: May 10, 2013 23:11 Advocate staff photo by ADAM LAU -- LSU's Mason Katz, left, shrugs to teammates after hitting a home run against Dartmouth last season as teammate Raph Rhymes heads to the batter's box. Tigers coach Paul Mainieri said Tuesday he will move Katz to fourth in the batting order and Rhymes to fifth. Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- LSU's Mason Katz, right, celebrates with teammate Raph Rhymes after Katz hit a solo homer in last year's NCAA Super Regional against Stony Brook. Tigers coach Paul Mainieri said Tuesday he will move Katz to fourth in the batting order and Rhymes to fifth. BY LES EAST| Advocate sportswriter Comments LSU coach Paul Mainieri is tweaking his lineup for the home stretch. The Tigers play 12 of their final 15 regular-season games at Alex Box Stadium, beginning with a game against Tulane at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. The home crowd will notice a change in the heart of the batting order as Raph Rhymes and Mason Katz swap positions — Katz batting fourth and Rhymes fifth. The move comes after a weekend in which Alabama twice intentionally walked Alex Bregman with a runner on second and one out to set up a double play. Both times, Rhymes followed by hitting into an inning-ending double play. Mainieri said he was reluctant to sacrifice with Mark Laird in front of Bregman for fear that the Crimson Tide wouldn't pitch to Bregman, who leads the Southeastern Conference in hitting with a .414 average. "What's obviously ... going to happen with Bregman now, because the word is out on him, is some teams are going to pitch around him," Mainieri said. "If Raph is hitting well, he's going to have a lot of hard-hit ground balls. Sometimes those ground balls find a hole, and sometimes they don't. "If those balls don't find a hole and the double play is in order, Raph's going to hit into a lot of double plays. Katz is more of an extra-base hitter and a fly-ball hitter." Rhymes has hit into five double plays — one more than Katz, and one fewer than Bregman's team-high six. When last season began, Rhymes was hitting third and Katz fourth. After Rhymes hit into a double play in the sixth game of the season against Appalachian State, Mainieri made the same swap. "I think it's time to do that again," Mainieri said. "It's not a reflection of a lack of confidence in Raph. Hopefully we're putting Raph in a situation that's more conducive to what he does well." Last season, Rhymes went on to lead the nation in batting average. He hit a school-record .431 and was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Year. "Last year, we flip-flopped, and Raph went on to hit .431, so maybe he'll do the exact same thing," said Katz, who's second in the nation with a career-high 60 RBIs. Rhymes, who's batting .327, said he's excited about the change, which Mainieri explained to him before practice Tuesday. "He explained to me the logic behind it, and it does make a lot of sense," Rhymes said. "I'm all for the team, whatever can make us better." Katz could find himself in a different spot defensively, as well. Mainieri said he will start Tyler Moore against Tulane and likely into the SEC series against South Carolina this weekend. He said he wouldn't necessarily start Moore as the designated hitter, which is the spot Moore has occupied for eight of his 11 starts this season. In practice Tuesday, Katz took grounders at second, while Moore played Katz's customary position at first. Second baseman JaCoby Jones was benched in Sunday's loss at Alabama after making his second error in as many nights and failing to run out a ground ball. "Tyler Moore has done some good things for our program. He just hasn't hit in the clutch enough this year to warrant him being an everyday player," Mainieri said. "I've told him that, and I've challenged him and I'm going to give him another shot this week to see if (he's an) everyday player for us." Several players have had opportunities to win a starting spot as either the DH or the third outfielder when Sean McMullen is the DH. Rhymes and Laird are mainstays in the outfield. Moore, who bats left-handed, is hitting .302, primarily against right-handed pitchers. South Carolina's weekend starters and top two relievers are all left-handed. Moore started 31 games as a freshman last season and batted .261 in 134 at-bats. He has just 53 at bats this season. "It's been a little different, but this is a different team," Moore said. "That creates opportunities for different guys. This is my opportunity, and I think it's a really good opportunity. I'm not going to try and do too much, just try and take advantage of this opportunity." Mainieri said he'll start right-hander Kurt McCune and use him for two innings before using a "multitude" of relievers. This will be a more conventional outing for McCune than the one last Saturday when he got the win with two scoreless innings of relief against Alabama. McCune was charting the game as he was scheduled to start Sunday, but when the Tigers and Tide reached the 14th inning, Mainieri decided to use McCune. "I went to Kurt and I said, 'are you ready to pitch?' " Mainieri said. "He said, 'Absolutely,' put his chart down, put his cleats on and ran down to the bullpen and got himself ready. He came in and he threw the ball just tremendously. "Once we got the lead, I knew he would dominate in the bottom of the 16th. I thought he threw the ball as well as I've ever seen him throw it in the 15th and 16th innings." McCune allowed one single and struck out two in two scoreless innings. "I felt great intensity going into that game, and I think that helped me a lot," McCune said. "I'm going to try and get hyped up like that again." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

A new year brings new beginnings, so perhaps it's not surprising that most divorces are filed right after the new year begins. If you were thinking about divorce in 2011, now may be a good time to take those crucial first steps towards your new future. But for many women, getting started is the hardest part.
My advice is to begin by organizing your thoughts and preparing your personal finances. Here are a few steps to help get you moving in the right direction.
1. Collect financial documents. As I outline in this Divorce Financial Checklist, preparing for divorce requires gathering all the relevant documents related to your bank and brokerage accounts, credit cards, mortgages, tax returns, etc. For instance, you need to make copies of year-end statements from banks, credit card companies, etc. so you can start to keep track of all expenses, should you decide to proceed with your divorce. Take these copies to a trusted friend/family member, or store them in a safe deposit box that your husband can't access.
2. Check your credit report. Keep a sharp eye on your credit card statements, and if you haven't already done so, request a copy of your credit report. Once you have the report, monitor your score carefully so you'll be the first to know of any unusual activity. (Is your husband using your joint credit cards to take his girlfriend on a getaway vacation? Are there other ways your husband is dissipating marital assets?) See my post, How To Protect Your Credit Score During Your Divorce, for more tips.
3. Research divorce professionals in your area. A divorce is not something you should tackle on your own. To ensure the best possible outcome, take the time to build a qualified divorce team. I recommend you start with these three players: a matrimonial/family law attorney, a divorce financial planner and a therapist/counselor. Research the divorce professionals in your area, and create a short list of candidates for each position. Schedule interviews with each top contender, and make sure you are comfortable with both their qualifications and "bedside manner." I have had several clients who had to fire their attorneys because those attorneys, believe it or not, did not respect women.
4. Open new accounts in your name. As a single woman, it will be essential for you have your own bank accounts and credit cards in your name (this needs to be done while you are still married and way before you are single again). So, go to a bank where you don't have joint accounts with your husband, and open both a savings and a checking account. Of course, you'll need your own credit cards, as well, and starting that process now while you are still married is extremely important. New federal regulations are making it harder than ever for women with little or no income to establish credit on their own, so prepare yourself for the possibility that securing credit will be more complicated than just filling out an application or making a single phone call.
5. Remain vigilant. Is your husband explaining away mysterious purchases or time away from home --and dissipating family assets in the process? What about his business or professional practice? Be attentive, and if you are concerned at all about financial shenanigans by your husband, you may want to think twice about filing joint tax returns with him.
Don't forget, you deserve that new beginning, and with each small step taken, you are that much closer to having one. I know it may seem daunting at first, but if you work through this checklist, you'll be able to start the new year confident that you are on the way to a more stable, secure and independent financial future.

There are laws and lavish protocols for getting a divorce or terminating a business partnership. We even have rules for disinheriting our children. But how on earth do we go about breaking up with a friend?
For young people it's less complicated: You just stop hanging out with them, or you unfriend them on Facebook and they figure it out. Yet at our age, when we've been friends with people for decades, it's not so bloodlessly accomplished.
I have plenty of wonderful new friends, and those relationships are based on grown-up shared interests and tastes. But I also have a lot of "old" friends — that expression has taken on a second, less-flattering connotation in recent years — many dating back to grade school, college, my former jobs and various pursuits.
Over the years, those friendships have been the source of some of my deepest joys and closest bonds. When you don't have a live-in partner or children at home, friends can be closer and more important than family. And when those relationships are good, they're very good. But when they go awry, it can be horrible.

|Cowan on Ray Guy Watch List
University of Idaho junior Bobby Cowan, from Vancouver, Wash., is on the Ray Guy Watch List, which annually honors the nation's best collegiate punter.
Cowan is one of 54 punters nominated for the award. The original list of 54 will be trimmed to 10 semifinalists on Nov. 11 and then to the three finalists on Nov. 21.
Joining Cowan on the list are 2009 Guy Award winner and 2010 finalist Drew Butler of Georgia as well as the other punters with whom he has battled for the top statistical ranking this fall – Ian Campbell of UTEP, Brandon McManus of Temple, Quin Sharp of Oklahoma State and Jackson Rice of Oregon.
Cowan currently is ranked fourth in average per kick at 47.45 but just .26 separates the top five statistical leaders. Campbell is the current leader at 47.78 with McManus at 47.66, Sharp at 47.59 and Rice at 47.41.
The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured on The Home Depot College Football Awards live on Thursday, December 8 at 9 pm ET on ESPN. The show, hosted by ESPN's Chris Fowler, Lee Corson, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard will feature live presentation of nine player awards, along with the recipients of Disney's Spirit Award, The Home Depot Coach of the Year Award, the NCFAA (National College Football Awards Association) Contributions to College Football Award, and student-athletes selected to the Walter Camp All-America Team.

How much will the Miami Dolphins change in 2011?
The pressure to put together a winner in 2011 is high, but the Miami Dolphins don't have many cards to play in this high stakes poker game.
The Dolphins must install a new offense, rebuild an offensive line for the third straight season. They must find a starting tailback capable of carrying the ball 200 times, and most importantly, it's critical that what's left of the Trifecta finds a quarterback to push Chad Henne for the starting spot.
There's no way this 7-9 team can come back with the status quo. But what can be done?
We chop up all those subjects in these Sun-Sentinel videos that focus on the offseason, and the NFL draft, which will take place on April 28-30.
This video breaks down what General Manager Jeff Ireland might do in his first draft without Bill Parcells.
Ireland's sure talking a good game about adding speed, and finding playmakers. But will he back it up with his actions.

|Ly, Knox claim GU/EWU title
CHENEY, Wash. - One week after Idaho's Alan Shin claimed the singles championship at the GU/EWU Tennis Invitational, it was Vandal women's players Yvette Ly and Molly Knox who followed suit, winning the doubles tournament on the women's side of the same event.
Ly and Knox teamed up to earn four straight wins in the event, winning 8-1 over Eastern Washington in the round of 16, 9-7 over Gonzaga in the quarterfinals, 8-6 over Seattle University in the semi's and winning 9-7 over Gonzaga in the finals to win the tournament.
"This was a great tournament for Molly and Yvette," Idaho women's tennis coach Tyler Neill said. "They had some big wins and it is nice to see them come through in tight matches. I'm impressed that they are playing so well as a doubles team considering they have only played together for a couple of weeks now."
All four Vandal women who participated in the event won first round matches to advance in the tournament. Ly advanced to the semifinals of the singles side after two straight wins to open the tournament, while Knox and Silvia Irimescu advanced to the singles quarterfinals for the Vandals. Jana Siwa won in the round of 16 in the B singles draw to advance to the quarterfinals.
"I thought Yvette had another great tournament in singles," Neill said. "I think she is playing the best tennis of her college career."
Irimescu and Siwa teamed up in doubles to win two matches before falling in the semifinals.
The Vandals will wrap up the fall season at the ITA Regional Championships in Las Vegas, Nev., Oct. 13-17.
Rnd. of 16 - Knox/Ly (Idaho) def. Silha/Norena (Eastern Washington) - 8-1
A Singles Draws
Rnd. of 16 - Silvia Irimescu (Idaho) def. Nefeli Diamanti (Eastern Washington) - 6-1,6-1

ATLANTA (August 2011) – Emory-Children's Pediatric Research Center, a partnership between Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University, was recently selected as a new Pediatric Heart Network (PHN) core site for clinical research. Created and funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, the PHN is a cooperative network of pediatric cardiovascular clinical research centers that conducts studies in children with congenital or acquired heart disease. William Mahle, M.D., and William Border, M.B.Ch.B., M.P.H., will serve as Primary Investigators and lead the core site's PHN efforts.
"The Pediatric Heart Network carries out the highest quality clinical research in our field," said William Mahle, M.D., Pediatric Cardiologist and Medical Director of Clinical Research at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. "This award recognizes the strong commitment that Children's and Emory have made to supporting research and becoming international leaders in developing therapies to improve child health."
Together, Children's and Emory will function as one of nine core sites across the nation and Canada that will be co-recipients of the $19.6 million core clinical center funding allocated by the PHN. The Emory-Children's program was selected for its history of successful pediatric cardiac research and strong contribution to ongoing PHN endeavors including the Single Ventricle Reconstruction (SVR) trial and SVR Extension Study. Within the five-year funding period, the core site will build upon local research initiatives that include a collaborative program involving the Children's Sibley Heart Center, Emory University and the industrial engineering program at Georgia Institute of Technology.
"We are pleased to be a part of the Pediatric Heart Network, as their collaborative goal matches our initiatives at Children's," said William Border, M.B.Ch.B., M.P.H., Director of Noninvasive Imaging and Medical Director of the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Core (CIRC) at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. "By building a community between highly-esteemed research institutions in Atlanta and across the country and Canada, we are able to work together to ensure better outcomes for children with cardiac diseases."
Research efforts will be conducted under the Center for Cardiovascular Biology and the Center for Clinical Outcomes Research and Public Health. These centers are part of the Emory-Children's Pediatric Research Center led by the Children's and Emory, including partnerships with Georgia Institute of Technology and Morehouse School of Medicine. With the leadership of Paul Spearman, MD, Children's chief research officer and vice chair for research in the Emory University Department of Pediatrics, 14 key priority centers have been identified. These are the Aflac Cancer Center for hematology and oncology; immunology and vaccines; transplant immunology and immune therapeutics; pediatric healthcare technology innovation; cystic fibrosis; developmental lung biology; endothelial biology; cardiovascular biology; drug discovery; autism; neurosciences; nanomedicine; outcomes research and public health; and clinical and translational research.

It was time to turn our Ski-Doo demo units back into the
dealer so we took the opportunity to get one last ride in on them before taking
them back to Yellowstone Adventures in West Yellowstone, MT.
More than just getting that one last ride in on the
Ski-Doos, I wanted to get rid of the bitter taste I still had in my mouth from
my last ride of the season last spring (a year ago). A year ago it was raining
and the snow was, well, a mess.
I had high hopes the ride this year would be better and I
was definitely not disappointed. The snotel site close to where we rode in Island Park,
more specifically, Mt.
Jefferson and the
surrounding mountains, still showed 67 inches on the ground. And, just like
many other places in the West, it has been cool (some would say downright cold)
with some scattered snow showers the past several days. So the snow that was
still clinging to the mountains didn't go anywhere (read: didn't melt) for
several days.
Wednesday the sun shone all day and with a few inches of new
and completely untracked snow we set out to ride
Mt. Jefferson, Reas Peak,
Blue Creek, Rock Creek and the surrounding area.
Although the snow was hardpacked and spring-like in a few
areas, for the most part, we were riding in a few inches (3-4) of fresh powder.
And yes, it was powder because it has been so cold. The snow was best above
7,500 feet (we rode up to 9,800 feet in places). It was definitely melting down
low by the time we got back to the truck about 2 p.m.
It was a great ride on April 24. I've completely forgotten
about last year.
So for those of you who have put your sleds away for the
season, I'm one up on you.

ZF-4153: The PaginationControl view helper should check for "paginator", if possible
From Simon Corless:
{quote} It would be good if the view helper tried to detect the paginator instance in the view itself. The docs suggest calling it $view->paginator would it not make sense for the helper to use this by default unless another instance is supplied in the helper call? {quote}
Not sure this is possible, but worth looking into.

Hello jlwilliams,
Keep in mind that the Cobray and MAC design places the mag behind the trigger. A redesign would be needed for an AR-type lower trigger group.
Also the Cobray/MAC bolts have become rather spendy and hard to find in recent years. A 7.62x25 mm version using a Czech M-24 mag seems like the thing to do.
I believe that the square tubing used on these was an oddball size but no big deal if you can find a standard Cobray/MAC upper.

The new eponymous EP from Salt Lake City's Triggers N Slips fully shows why the quartet is well worth hearing and seeing.
The six-song cd, available for free via download starting later this month at the band's website is a top-flight country-rock cd on par with many better known acts in this populous genre.
Featuring well-worded, occasionally poignant material written by the band's frontman Morgan Snow, the bopping country-rock grooves are anchored by the top-shelf musicianship of bandmates John Davis, Zach Griffin and Wil Grimshaw.
On standout tracks like "Old Friends," "4 Letters" and "Aftermath," the band mixes solid lyrics with interesting melodies that are firmly rooted in the country tradition, but never sound clichéd or copied.
These guys play around town frequently. It's time for folks here to start catching on to them.

Convertibility of Capital Account: A Comparative Analysis
Convertibility of capital account – the complete elimination of all capital controls – was often treated in the 1990s as an integral element of the market liberalization that was being urged on emerging markets. In the middle of the decade there was even talk of making it an objective of international policy that would be embodied (as a long-term target) in the IMF Articles. This study attempts to focus on issues and experiences of other countries regarding capital account convertibility and figures out lessons for Bangladesh. Fischer (1998, p.2) wrote, "capital account liberalization is an inevitable step on the path of international development, which cannot be avoided and should be embraced. After all, the most advanced economies have open capital accounts." Until the Asian Crisis, discussion of capital account convertibility focused on sequencing issues, and speed. In the aftermath of the crisis, the emphasis has shifted to caution regarding capital account convertibility. In our country Capital Account is not convertible. However, experiences from Latin America (Mexico, Chile etc.) and very recently from Asia (Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippine etc.) showed that financial opening involves substantial risks and can be ended in financial crash. A lot of improvement and precautionary measures are required before going for Capital Account convertibility. Bangladesh Taka has been declared convertible on current account transaction since 20th October, 1993 and accordingly on the 11th April, 1994 Bangladesh has been awarded with Article VIII status of International Monetary Fund (IMF) Articles of Agreement. Convertibility of Taka in Current Account has a lot of impacts on Balance of Payment position. Right after the reform measures, exports show an increasing trend at an increasing rate from the year 1994-95 to 1997-98. After the convertibility of Bangladesh Taka in different currencies, the export volume takes a rising trend due to flexibility in exchange rate regulation.

Imagine this presidential-debate lineup: Obama. Romney. Barr. As in, Roseanne Barr. Hey, it's not as ridiculous as you may think.
CNN reports that the actress and comedian is the presidential nominee of the Peace and Freedom Party. Her running mate is Cindy Sheehan, an antiwar activist.
"Cindy and I are the 'Throw the Bums Out' ticket and the 'Ballot Access' ticket," Barr said at the PFP convention, according to the network. "The American people are sick and tired of this 'lesser evil' garbage they get fed every election year. Both the Democrats and the Republicans do the same evils once they're in office."
The California-based party doesn't have much ballot presence, CNN notes, so a President Barr is highly unlikely. But c'mon, admit it: You'd love to see that three-candidate debate, wouldn't you?

|Vandals kick off season with school record
PULLMAN, Wash. - The University of Idaho swim team opened the 2009-10 season with an overall successful start at the Debbie Pipher Memorial Invitational at Washington State University Friday.
The Idaho Gold and Idaho Black teams are separated by just one point for third and fourth place at 68-67 and sit just behind Washington State Gray at 74 points. The Gold squad opened the competition with a disqualification in the 400 yard medley relay due to a false start, but Idaho recovered nicely with strong performances in the remaining seven events which included a school record swim.
"Today went pretty well and was pretty exciting," Idaho coach Tom Jager. "We got some good swims and they competed very well and showed they have the ability to race some people. The swimmers showed great energy and confidence. It helps that all of Idaho's sports are doing better and there was no doubt we walked into this pool with a better feeling about ourselves. This was our first meet so we needed to get the cobwebs out."
Freshman Treasa Ring set an Idaho school record with a time of 55.89 in the 100-yard butterfly in her first collegiate meet. Her time also was fast enough to set the meet record, however she was just out-touched by a WSU swimmer who took the honor at 55.71. The previous meet record was 56.45.
Sophomore Si Jia Pang is Idaho's top point scorer after day one with 11 after a third-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle and a fourth-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle. Amanda Watson is close behind with 10 points after taking third in the 100-yard backstroke and fifth in the 200-yard freestyle.
Senior Cortnee Hanson kicked off the season with a strong race in the 400-yard IM and finished just seven seconds behind her previous career best at 4:40.50.
Although the loss of points in the 400-yard relay hurt Idaho's chances of finishing in the top spot, the Vandals will push to move ahead of Washington State Gray as the meet turns to the longer races.
"We are usually better at the long races and tomorrow is all the long stuff. We lost a lot of points in the relay so our goal for tomorrow will be to beat Gray," Jager said.
The meet continues Saturday at noon at Gibb Pool.

Unexpected Payoff
Twice the size, half the priceWhen it implemented an automated data-collection system using operators' cell phones, the public works department of the city of Pearland, Texas, laid the groundwork for developing a model of sewer operations based on facts rather than best guesses. The model revealed that fewer new lift stations would be necessary, leading to a 47% reduction in projected capital expenditures.

Operators enter data by scrolling to an item on their phone's screen. Once a choice is highlighted, the "OK" key makes that selection. If the phone isn't within range of a cell tower, the data automatically transmits when the operator is back in range. Photos: BirdNest Services Inc.
Sewer managers in Pearland, Texas, had every right to be astonished at the revised projections for their 70-year capital improvement program: A new computer model showed their department could almost halve the total number of lift stations by increasing conveyance capacity, a change that would reduce projected capital costs by $68 million. This change would not only reduce capital costs drastically, it would also cut operating and maintenance expenses for the upgraded system by $400,000 to $500,000 annually.
The reason the new model produces such different results goes back to the data and the modeling system used. The first model, created in 2000 by another consulting firm, developed a capital improvement plan based on a small fraction of the city's manholes, sewers, and lift stations, which were modeled as passive or "pass-through" facilities. Peak flows were based on general assumptions that weren't verified against actual flow during dry and wet weather. Estimates of infiltration and inflow (I&I) were mostly guesses.
In Pearland, it's easy to guess wrong about infrastructure: In this booming Houston-commuter suburb of 87,100 residents, hundreds of new sewer and water connections every month are patched into a hodge-podge system that dates from the 1930s. There are newly developed areas that flow through mid-life areas, which flow through really old areas before they get to a treatment plant.
In some areas, poor planning had allowed wastewater from a new development to flow through older lines never sized for the additional volume. In other areas, wastewater passes through as many as five lift stations before reaching a treatment facility. The operations of all this infrastructure were tracked manually by operators writing in field notebooks and supervisors transcribing the numbers into a central log.
In 2003, the city hired us to create a master plan that would include wastewater, water distribution, and roads, but without changing the 'guesswork' wastewater model used to develop the first capital plan. While it's relatively easy to look at long-range land use, it's a good deal more complicated to accurately project infrastructure requirements, particularly given the patchwork land use in the city. We made the best recommendations we could based on the data available.
The city asked us to verify our wastewater recommendations using the old model. Digging into this model, we found it woefully inadequate. The city then asked us to build a better model.
In early 2006, we began developing a comprehensive dynamic model using Wallingford Software's Info Works program. This model simulates reality very closely: It includes almost every manhole and piece of property within city limits and its extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ), and it models lift stations directly and dynamically—not by guess work and inference. By implementing build-out scenarios within the city and its ETJ in the new model, we could define where the problem areas would lie and how to address problems strategically and cost-effectively.
The trick in making the dynamic model work was, of course, having the right data. In particular, we needed to correlate wastewater flow data to rainfall events. When we asked the city to collect this data, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that more than a year of data had already been collected and was easily available.
In 2005 the public works department had implemented a data collection and reporting system offered by BirdNest Services Inc. to track and manage water and waste water operations. The system collected detailed data on rainfall and daily pump run-times, as well as the pump nameplate data necessary to convert run-times to flow. Here was a mass of complete, consistent, uniform data for the whole wastewater system—a level of quality that we'd never seen before for this type of project—and all readily available in Excel workbook format.
This data allowed us to create a model that would closely reflect reality. The year's worth of run-time data provided a wealth of information about how each lift station reacted to rainfall events. We also collected several years of wastewater discharge reports for city-owned treatment plants so we could balance our numbers and calibrate the model.
