Fonterra to offer bone scans in Asia, Middle East
Fonterra says it will carry out seven million bone health checks across Asia and the Middle East over a year.
The programme provides people with free scans to help them understand more about their bone health and is linked to the New Zealand dairy cooperative's marketing strategy for calcium-enhanced Anlene milk powders it sells in the regions.
Fonterra says according to data analysed from the bone scanning programme, by the age of 35, a third of Asian people are classified as being at medium to high risk of developing osteoporosis.

Asia Society's Partnership for Global Learning has been collaborating with the Council of Chief State School Officers and their EdSteps program to define Global Competency. Help us with this important research by submitting your students' globally focused work. Please see invitation and instructions below. Every time you submit a piece of work, you will automatically be entered into a drawing for $500 Staples gift certificates. The more you submit, the greater your chances.
EdSteps invites you to participate in an exciting new project to transform the teaching and assessing of key skills in students of all ages. EdSteps is collecting samples of work that demonstrate Global Competency as part of a ground-breaking effort to assess student performance using real examples of work done by students and professionals from across the nation and throughout the world.
Why Global Competency?
Today's students are entering into a world vastly different from that of the 20th century. Schools and communities need to prepare their young people to succeed in this new global environment. For our students' well-being, the vitality of our communities and the welfare of our entire nation we must cultivate the knowledge, skills and passion in students that will enable them to recognize the challenges and opportunities of an interconnected world and contribute to its improvement. Better approaches to teaching and assessing student work that address issues of global significance both world wide and in their own neighborhood are essential to a world-class education system.
A Call for Work Demonstrating Global Competency
EdSteps seeks work done by students and professionals from the U.S. and around the world that demonstrates global competency: the knowledge, skills and disposition to understand and act creatively on issues of global significance. EdSteps will publish the work online to show examples of global competency at various levels of expertise. Once the work is published, it will help teachers strengthen instruction and better evaluate student work and provide examples for students to help them strive for greater achievement. To accomplish these goals, we need your help and professional judgment.
We invite your students to submit work that:
1. Presents and weighs evidence on issues of global significance or important local issues faced by others in the world
2. Considers their own and others' perspectives
3. Communicates ideas clearly and appropriately to diverse audiences

Equinox Brewing's Keg Trike Delivers Fresh Brews
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- Equinox Keg BikeIn the craft beer capital of Colorado, a small brewery sits in the heart of old town Fort Collins. When we heard about their very unique keg delivery system, we knew we had to do some intrepid investigative reporting. Equinox Brewing's owner ColinWestcott showed up next to the beer garden with what has to be the most unique bike design to ever hit the city's bike-happy streets. The custom-designed trike is the primary keg delivery vehicle for the brewery, which has endeavored to keep its suds as local and sustainable as possible. Ironically, the forward-thinking design of the bike and its mission is informed by the traditional craft of brewing, where ingredients and patrons were always local.1
- Equinox Keg BikeBefore prohibition there were corner breweries in most cities where locals would go to take a load off at the end of the day. Those breweries had to use local ingredients, which created a quilt of one-of-a-kind beers across the nation.2
- Equinox Keg BikeAfter a long period of big breweries making light beer made from corn and rice, the local brewery has come back in a big way. This history lesson came complimentary with pints of Remi's Saison IPA as we spoke with Colin, whose vision is to only servekegs to places they can deliver by foot or pedal.3
- Equinox Keg BikeThe Bootlegger tricycle is the brainchild of Colin and Zach Yendra, co-founder of Panda Bikes.4
- Equinox Keg BikeThe challenge was to enable a single person to deliver a 160 lb keg by bike.5
- Equinox Keg BikeThe solution was to build a very low platform set between two wheels.6
- Equinox Keg BikeThe rider sits back, steering by turning the front wheels with connected handles that reach a few feet forward to the wheels.7
- Equinox Keg BikeThe frame sweeps back to a 36" tire which is actually made for unicycles.8
- Equinox Keg BikeThe platform for the keg has a brilliant spring suspension that dampens the load both up and down. The trike's brakes consist of two front disks that are controlled by the left hand.9
- Equinox Keg BikeThe brake handle on the right locks the back tire with a small spring-loaded peg set in the handle, so that kegs can be unloaded without hassel.10
- Equinox Keg BikeTaking the bike on a test drive on a closed course, I found its turning radius to be pretty wide, which is good -- even the low-set weight can make the trike tippy.11
- Equinox Keg BikeThe single gear can easily get a heavy load in motion, which also makes backing up easy.12
- Equinox Keg BikeThe prototype still needs some finishing touches to improve turning before being painted, but for being the first of its kind it's a very productive and elegant design.13
- Equinox Keg BikeLooking to the future, Colin envisions turning the parking lot next to the brewery into a large bike depot - the first of its kind downdown - to encourage residences to abandon their cars and hop onto some pedals.14

Malak chose to eliminate his master in a similar way, firing on his command ship when it had been crippled and boarded by Jedi strike teams.
Part of being a Sith is about cunning, and making use of such opportunities.
dude for real... the Dark Side is all about the strong surviving, the strongest only deserves the chance of becoming the dark lord, the winner suceeds... it is a contest man. ESPECIALLY when Sidious followed Darth Banes "RULE OF TWO" in which Bane Stated what i jus said... think about it, past sith apprentices would team up and go against there masters and then turn on eachother, therefore weakening the order. so if Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, then theres no telling who was strongest. he took the cowards way out, for he attacked his master after his master explained to him of creating a being of the embodiment of the force itself. and the darkside is all about learning EVERYTHING you can then destroying it when its of no more use. in this Sidious defied the rules of the darkside, because he killed his master without learning all of his secrets. for example, saving people from death and creating life for he didnt know how to do it in episode three and in star wars universe and in other books and stories he's SEARCHING for that secret... he killed his master because he was a coward because he feared his master would replace him

it really depends what you mean by masturbating, there was a good year when I didn't know what I was doing and just looked at erotic pictures until I ejaculated, the time periods between that happening were rather large
some I started really doing it, maybe 2 weeks I think
Yeah that would be masturbating.
For me I involuntarily went twenty-four days once. Now I'm on day 15 of 'no fap' - I don't really believe anything about it, it strikes me as really fucking stupid, I'm just curious to see how long I can go without reaching breaking point. There may be some truth to it though; I require a lot less sleep to be able to function well throughout the day; I'm very very horny nearly all the time; average looking girls I'd never look at have become beautiful; I've had to strongly resist the urge to try and contact ex girlfriends and get them to come over.
your testosterone levels are probably through the roof right now

Statewide Evaluation Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently asked questions for the Statewide Evaluation.
Time Extensions and Data Submission
Question: Can a time extension be granted for the data submission?
Answer: No. Grant payments are withheld until the data is received and cleared by the After School Division. Failure to submit data will result in termination of the grant.
Question: Can I email the data as an attachment or send it to CDE on a CD?
Answer: No. The data must only be delivered using CDE's exFiles File Transfer System. Directions on uploading, encrypting, and transferring files will be provided by email.
Question: What software should we use to encrypt the data?
Answer: The exFiles File Transfer System will automatically encrypt the data.
General Reporting
Question: Are all after school participants required to be reported, even if they only attended a few days of the program?
Answer: Yes. Grantees are required to report all after school participants, even if the student attended one day only.
Question: Are data, such as gender and grade, important to evaluate after school programs?
Answer: Yes. However, the After School Division will be able to gather these type of data from CalPADS.
Question: I have multiple schools in my grant. Do I need to submit a different spreadsheet for each school, or can I combine all of the schools into one report?
Answer: All sites funded by the grant must be on one spreadsheet, same tab. There are two data file templates: one for ASES and 21st CCLC (http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ba/as/evaluation.asp), and another for ASSETs (http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ba/cp/evaluationassets.asp).
Question: I have more than one type of grant. Do I need to submit a different spreadsheet for each grant?
Answer: When an LEA has several grants, an ASES and a 21st CCLC, for example, all participants must be on one spreadsheet, same tab (template located at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ba/as/evaluation.asp). For ASSETs programs, the template is located at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ba/cp/evaluationassets.asp.
Statewide Student Identifier (SSID)
Question: What if we do not have a Statewide Student Identifier (SSID) for a student? Can I leave that cell blank?
Answer: No. The grantee must report an SSID for all students participating in after school, except for private school students. For private schools, enter the alternate ID used by the private school.
Supplemental or Summer Programs
Question: My students attend a 6-hour Summer Program. Should I double the attendance?
Answer: No. In an effort to accurately capture amount of days and time students spend in after school, the template contain a column for 3-hour programs and another for 6-hour programs. For example:
3-Hour Program––a student attending 30 days would be reported as 30 days.
6-Hour Program––a student attending 30 days would be reported as 30 days.

I was diagnosed in 1997 at 59 years old. I discontinued TNF biologics and methotrexate due to lung infections. Are there any alternatives I could try?
All rheumatoid arthritis medicines work by suppressing the immune system, so any of them may predispose patients to infections. However, you could try the new agent abatacept (Orencia) that has been FDA approved for patients who have failed or cannot tolerate the anti-TNF drugs. You could also try other oral agents such as sulfasalazine or leflunomide.

Motorola Aura Makes CES Appearance
I can now say I've held a $2,000 phone in my hands. The Motorola Aura was making its rounds at the CES 2009, and I was able to snag some pictures of it in action.
While I am not the kind of guy that would just simply fork out a couple grand for a phone such as this, I came out rather impressed. It definitely feels like a solid phone, and I must say that the screen, albeit small, was the most beautiful screen I've ever seen on a phone.
So check out the pics for yourself. I'm planning on getting a video posted on the website as soon as possible as well. Motorola certainly did a good job of showing luxury in making the Aura.
Below, you will notice the gears in the back which allow the swivel mechanism to work properly.
Above, you notice how Motorola takes advantage of the tiny circular display to incorporate the menu.
The camera in action. While a circular display, the picture still shows up in a square. I had to double check for myself.

Churches concerned about increase in murders, violence
The Jamaica Council of Churches (JCC) is raising concerns about the number of murders that have taken place since the start of the year.
This is just one of the national issues that the group addressed following its officer's meeting recently.
"The council has taken note of the response to date of the Government, and now appeals to the security forces and the general population to come together in ensuring that the significant gains we made in 2011 in this regard are not allowed to be reversed.
"It is also of importance that we address the social factors that make our people, especially the young, vulnerable to crime and violence," the JCC, which is the umbrella group representing a number of churches, outlined in a release recently.
The council also took issue with the recently reported violence against inmates at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre, by members of the Jamaica Defence Force.
"It is worrying to hear that there are areas in such high-risk environment that are not covered by security cameras. The council is therefore calling upon our Government to ensure that this matter is thoroughly investigated and that the public be informed of the findings," the release said.
Meanwhile, the JCC has welcome the pronouncement of Jamaica Emergency Employment Programme, but said it is worried about the handling of the programme, especially with the local government elections only weeks away.
"We eagerly await the specifics in terms of methodology for the selection of projects and workers. It is of uttermost importance that there is no real or perceived reason to believe that the resources so allocated are used for any political advantage," the group said.
Concern about Budget
The national Budget was also an area of concern to the council resulting in its call for the Government to do all that is possible to cushion the impact that the intended cuts in the next Budget is likely to have on society.
"While we appreciate the challenges of the economic climate in which we are, and the need to make some difficult decisions, as usual, the council is anxious about the impact the intended cuts in the next fiscal Budget is likely to have on the lives of the most vulnerable in our communities.
"The need to grow ourselves out of this dilemma cannot be over emphasised. The JCC is therefore appealing to our Government and private sector to create the environment needed to facilitate this direction," the JCC said.

Wisskirchen, C; Ludersdorfer, T H; Müller, D A; Moritz, E; Pavlovic, J (2011). Interferon-induced antiviral protein MxA interacts with the cellular RNA helicases UAP56 and URH49. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 286(40):34743-34751.
|Accepted Version
View at publisher
Mx proteins are a family of large GTPases that are induced
exclusively by interferon-alpha/beta and have a broad antiviral activity against several viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV). Although the antiviral activities of mouse Mx1 and human MxA have been studied extensively, the molecular mechanism of action remains largely unsolved. Because no direct interaction between Mx proteins and IAV proteins or RNA had been demonstrated so far, we addressed the question of whether Mx protein would interact with cellular proteins required for efficient replication of IAV. Immunoprecipitation of MxA revealed its association with two closely related RNA helicases, UAP56 and URH49.UAP56 and its paralog URH49 play an important role in
IAV replication and are involved in nuclear export of IAV
mRNAs and prevention of dsRNA accumulation in infected
cells. In vitro binding assays with purified recombinant proteins revealed that MxA formed a direct complex with the RNA helicases.
In addition, recombinant mouse Mx1 was also able to bind
to UAP56 or URH49. Furthermore, the complex formation
between cytoplasmic MxA and UAP56 or URH49 occurred in
the perinuclear region, whereas nuclear Mx1 interacted with
UAP56 or URH49 in distinct dots in the nucleus. Taken
together, our data reveal that Mx proteins exerting antiviral activity can directly bind to the two cellular DExD/H box RNA helicases UAP56 and URH49. Moreover, the observed subcellular localization of the Mx-RNA helicase complexes coincides with the subcellular localization, where human MxA and mouse Mx1 proteins act antivirally. On the basis of these data, we propose that Mx proteins exert their antiviral activity against IAV by interfering with the function of the RNA helicases UAP56 and URH49.

Sept. 4, 2010
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
PROVO, Utah -- Through all the angst, the missed passes, the special-teams woes, after another late, heartbreaking loss on the road, these new Huskies had a pointed message for their doubters.
"We're not the same old Huskies," middle linebacker Cort Dennison said on the ramp leading out of LaVell Edwards Stadium minutes after BYU held off the Huskies 23-17 in the season opener on a taut, hot Saturday night in the Wasatch Mountains.
"Obviously, we're disappointed. But I've never seen a group more determined," said Dennison, who made his first start at middle linebacker in front of about 40 friends and family down from nearby Salt Lake City.
"We know we let a game get away from us. We realize there is still plenty of season left and we can do some great things. I mean, we are always going to have doubters -- but we don't care what the doubters say. We know what we're capable of. ... We're going to come back next week (at home against Syracuse)."
They almost came back Saturday at BYU.
Big plays late by Jake Locker -- who began his senior season by completing 20 of 37 throws for 266 yards with a touchdown passing and another throwing -- plus Chris Polk and Jermaine Kearse had Washington in position for a program-defining win. It would have been its first away from home since Nov. 3, 2007, at Stanford, 13 trips ago.
Then a stunning Cougar paw snatched away what would have been a catapulting Huskies victory.
BYU's Eathyn Manumaleuna jumped and stuck up a hand while getting blocked to knock down Locker's fourth-down pass to Chris Izbicki. The tight end was open as the hot read, about to beat a Cougars blitz from the BYU 27 with 1:51 left.
"No, you don't usually worry about defensive tackles (while throwing)," Locker said with a rueful smile.
The Cougars (1-0) ran out the clock from there for their 23rd win in 25 home games.
"We don't really buy into others' expectations. It's just shocking that we lost. We shouldn't have lost," Polk said, after his 92 yards on 16 carries. "What we did today doesn't define us."
No, these rebounding Huskies (0-1) weren't sulking off the field or out of their cramped locker room.
"We've got 12 games to go," coach Steve Sarkisian said softly minutes after his postgame session with the media.
Yes, Sarkisian is presuming Washington's first bowl game since 2002 is coming beyond the 11 remaining regular-season games. And his players were saying the same thing.
"But we have to get better in all three areas," Sarkisian said.
The former BYU star quarterback returned to the Cougars' campus for the first time since his final game of 1996. He was particularly surprised by mistakes in a kicking game he thought was a strength coming out of Washington's preseason camp. Brendan Lopez snapped the ball far over punter Will Mahan's head for a BYU safety that made it 7-2 in the first quarter. Polk twice slipped as a kickoff returner on the natural grass for 2-yard run backs. Those created two of the six times Washington started inside its 20, in 11 total possessions.
Yet the second-year coach told his players in the locker room afterward that their season of bowl-game expectations is far, far from being defined.
"Our team, I think they are really disappointed. In a sense, I've got to do a great job of corralling them," Sarkisian said. "This one game, (and there might be) thinking, `Oh, that's it. That was it. We put all our eggs in one basket.'
"We didn't. I didn't. I'm not going to let anyone else say that we did. It's one game of 13."
Locker and Polk were encouraged by the belief that instead of being beaten by a superior team the Huskies beat themselves, given that passes banged off hands and Locker under- and overthrew others.
""I think as a football team we played with good effort. We shot ourselves in the foot and made mistakes that were crucial in the game," Locker said.
"When you are playing hard, you can fix the other stuff."
Locker found Kearse for a 19-yard touchdown to cap Washington's first drive of the season, and ran for another score from 9 yards out. Both scores came in the first half as the Huskies took a 17-13 lead into the break, pleasing Sarkisian in his first trip back onto the BYU campus since before the Cotton Bowl at the end of the 1996 season. He finished his sociology degree online in 1997.
BYU honored Steve Young, Ty Detmer, Jim McMahon, Sarkisian and its other All-American quarterbacks with a halftime ceremony. But Sarkisian was inside the locker room with his Huskies. The second-year coach had hoped the timing would work out that his part of the ceremony would come as he was coming back onto the field for the second half, but it came early. The crowd gave him a warm applause as Sarkisian's name was announced, then it appeared most in the stadium was turning and looking for him.
Then the Cougars began the second half in a no-huddle offense that Washington defensive coordinator Nick Holt said "got us a little out of our comfort zone." BYU exposed holes in the middle of Washington's defense to roll up 150 yards of offense and 10 unanswered points in the third quarter.
The crushing, decisive play came when running back JJ Di Luigi ran alone down the middle between Dennison, who was running deep with another receiver, and Victor Aiyewa, who like Dennison was starting at a new position. Di Luigi caught a pass from freshman Jake Heaps - a former star at Skyline High School in Sammamish, Wash., who chose BYU over the Huskies -- and ran the final 30 yards untouched for a 48-yard touchdown.
Washington's first big defensive breakdown of the game put BYU up 23-17 late in the third quarter, and the Huskies ended up allowing 408 total yards.
Washington moved to the BYU 23 with 12 minutes left in the game, but on fourth-and-2 Locker rolled out right and found two defenders waiting for him to run. He pulled up to throw, but both receivers on that side were covered. Locker forced a throw into the end zone to Kearse that was knocked down.
Sarkisian said he didn't opt then for a 40-yard field goal from Erik Folk, who had a career-best field goal of 54 yards through the thin air at 4,500 feet to end the first half, that would have made it 23-20 because he wanted to capitalize getting so deep into BYU's end for a change amid all the poor field position.
Polk did get Washington out of its own end again with a 27-yard run to the Cougars 47 midway through the final quarter. But on third-and-10, Locker was pressured and knocked down as he throw high incomplete by BYU's Vic So'oto. It was one of the Cougars' rare quarterback pressures of the day.
Locker and the Huskies came back a third time, after a defensive stop. Locker found Kearse -- who had five catches for 108 yards and a touchdown - for 34 yards to the Cougars' 30. Then came the fateful fourth-and-6 with 1:55 left when Manumaleuna jumped, reached up and blocked Locker's attempted quick pass Izbicki.
"I was open. It was unfortunate," Izbicki said.
Bad penalties for roughing the punter and for pass interference allowed BYU to rally from an early 7-0 lead to take a 13-7 edge on a 9-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Riley Nelson to Joshua Quezada. Quezada got behind safety Nate Feller in the back of the end zone early in the second quarter.
But Washington re-took the lead when Locker briefly took over the game. He completed five consecutive passes to get the Huskies to the BYU 9. Then he took off following a shotgun snap, ran down the sidelines past Cougar defenders and hooked his right foot and leg inside the goal-line pylon while shifting the ball to his inside arm. The 9-yard touchdown gave the Huskies a 14-13 lead.
After Folk's booming kick that would have been good from about 60 yards, the Huskies ran off the field jumping and yelling over their 17-13 lead. They had overcome two key penalties and a punt from their own end zone that set up BYU's possessions in Washington territory in the first half.
But then came a redux of excruciating losses following halftime leads at Notre Dame and UCLA last season.
Heaps spent all day alternating series with Nelson and finished 13 for 23 for 131 yards in his collegiate debut. Sarkisian said he was impressed with his former recruiting target's poise in his first college game.
Nelson was 11 for 17 for 131 yards and two touchdowns.
"If any team can rally, this is the team that can," hardened Huskies senior linebacker Mason Foster said. "We've been through some tough times."

The New Hampshire Homeschooling Coalition came into existence in 1989. It began as a simple effort to inform as many New Hampshire homeschoolers as could be reached of the fact that new legislation was pending that would affect all homeschoolers. That legislation had been drafted at the request of the New Hampshire School Administrators and was sponsored by then State Senator George Disnard. When homeschoolers expressed their dismay with the original wording and implications of the proposal, Senator Disnard agreed to work closely with homeschoolers around the state to produce a law that homeschoolers could support. Our current homeschooling law, RSA 193-A, and the formation of the Home Education Advisory Council were the result of that effort. Hundreds of New Hampshire homeschoolers were kept informed all during the legislative process in early 1990 by the fledgling New Hampshire Homeschooling Coalition, with the support of the state's Catholic and Christian homeschooling groups as well.
The documents that comprise this booklet were developed during the period from June of 1989 through May of 1990. The drafting process involved about a score of active participants who reviewed the documents at various stages of their development, with much of the actual language being written by Janina Lamb, Cindy Hopkins, and Mary Faiella. The valuable assistance of George D'Orazio, Elaine Rapp, and Barbara Parshley is also gratefully acknowledged.
The New Hampshire Homeschooling Coalition Constitution and By-Laws were presented to all those who had become members of the group, along with the organization's first slate of candidates for the Board of Representatives, in May/June of 1990. About half of the group's members responded to the balloting, and they overwhelmingly approved the documents. Amendments were made and approved by the members in 1991, 1994, 1997, 1999, and 2005.
The New Hampshire Homeschooling Coalition seeks to serve all homeschoolers in our state. These documents define its purpose and guide its work.

Three-time All-Pac-10 nose guard Terry Tumey (UCLA '88, MBA '93) served as honorary captain for the Bruins at their Sept. 17 game against Texas.
Tumey is probably best remembered for his sack of Miami's Bernie Kosar in the 1985 Fiesta Bowl. In that game, he had just two tackles playing as a redshirt freshman in his first collegiate bowl game. The Bruins had taken a precarious two-point lead late in the fourth quarter, but Kosar and the Hurricanes were driving and owned possession and a timeout with 31 seconds remaining on their 48-yard line. On first down, Kosar looked to pass, but Tumey broke through, sacking the quarterback and forcing a fumble that was recovered by UCLA. Game over, victory secured for the Bruins.
Tumey would finish his career in 1988 with 35 starts, 227 total tackles, 25 sacks and 39 tackles for loss. The Bruins were 36-10-2 during his career, won two Pac-10 titles and four straight bowl games, including the 1986 Rose Bowl.
Following graduation, Tumey entered the business world but returned to campus in 1992 as the Bruins' graduate assistant coach under Terry Donahue. In 1993, he received his MBA from UCLA's Anderson School of Management. In 1995, he was hired as a full-time assistant coach by Donahue and served on staffs that coached in three bowl games and won 20 consecutive games in 1997 and 1998. He left UCLA in 1999 to work as a defensive assistant coach for the Denver Broncos. He went on to work for the San Francisco 49ers in 2001, serving in several administrative capacities until 2009. Since April of 2009, Tumey has been the athletic director of Dominican University in San Rafael, Calif.
UCLABruins.com's Ralph Irvin caught up with Tumey on the field during the UCLA-Texas game.

There are websites that seem initially to exist purely to squick those who believe that explicit sexual content is inherently degrading and humiliating. PublicDisgrace.com is one such site — and it goes about its work beautifully.
While those who believe that public humiliation is an equal opportunity arouser will be disappointed to only see women lead through streets on leashes, bound in taverns full of horny strangers or spread out like a fresh meat selection in a full-service deli, those who enjoy seeing women put in their place by both men and other women will be in heaven.
While some footage is shot in Europe, the Kink.com Armory and other domestic locations provide the backdrop for an assortment of wildly creative scenes of domination and submission that draw power from voyeuristic and sometimes participatory onlookers.
In addition to around 50 powerful and stylishly shot HD scenes, some lasting as long as an hour and a half and all attractively presented and practically creaking with still images, the site includes a blog by director Princess Donna and an assortment of network site previews.
Subscribers can provide feedback about each scene, view live special programming and purchase specific scenes available on other network sites. Those worried that the girls enduring all of the disgrace are really being abused may be soothed by pre-shoot interview segments that reveal enthusiastic and fully consensual models eager to get to work.

Hi Ryan,
I have just received a merge request for your code. I do not intend to merge this code into the main git tree (at least not now). Please do not submit merge requests unless you have already agreed that we want the code in the main tree. One of the reasons for this section of the forum is to allow people to discus potential new features like this.
To be honest I have no idea if this is a good or bad thing. At the moment I don't have the time to pull this code and evaluate it. I have asked the other leJOS developers to take a look at this thread and comment.
One thing that concerns me is that there seem to be a number of projects (like the snapshot, samples, and various others), that do not seem to have been been touched by your changes, I have no idea if this is correct or not, I'm pretty sure they contain ant scripts, but perhaps they do not require changes.
I think you need to spend some time educating us as to why this is a good thing to have. What advantages does it offer? How is it used? Who will make use of it (leJOS Developers, or leJOS end users). What exactly do the changes you have made do and why have you made them etc.

Quite a few nice insects were flying in Kingsville on Saturday. Ones that I was able to capture with a camera include a pearl crescent, what I think may be an eastern tailed blue without the tails, a common buckeye, and finally, a female slender spreadwing damselfly using her black awl-shaped ovipositor to lay her eggs in common rush, Juncus effusus.

Kingsville Swamp
When you go to a swamp, what to you expect to see? Frogs of course. In addition to very common green frogs and bullfrogs, I recently saw an American toad, spring peeper, and leopard frog at a property in Ashtabula county. I like frogs, and it was good to see so many hopping around on a humid, mild, late summer day.

Pick a side
Plenty of mammals out last night in Kenney Park.
First, an eastern cottontail rabbit.
When I made it down to the river, I saw about six deer lapping up the floodwaters. The water has gotten so high that is has overtopped the banks, filling up small depressions in the woods. The carp seem to be hiding out in these pools, and the deer like to drink from them.
Here is a doe with twins. I was surprised to see that the fawns are still very spotted this late in the season. Another observation: They ate the leaves of amur honeysuckle without hesitation. Anyways, Megan and I see deer crossing the river frequently. Last night, and for the next few days, they are stuck on one bank or the other.

More on the Olentangy and Ohio Flooding
Last night I went to check the Olentangy River, and the water was up higher than yesterday. Actually, it was higher than I have ever seen it. The first picture is from last night, the second is from two nights ago. Hopefully, the river has crested. Although the two pictures aren't perfectly the same, you can see where the water has risen by comparing the trees. Also, a patch of upland vegetation was completely submerged last night that was dry two nights ago.
Just for kicks, I went to the USGS Ohio water resources website to see if the Olentangy is retreating. The simple answer, it isn't. I'm sure that water is gradually being released from the Delaware dam, and we might see these high levels for the next day or so. In fact, I just looked again at the USGS site for this stream guage, and they say that the stream is "is completely regulated by the Delaware Dam since 1951." Here is a nice graph provided by the USGS of current water levels on the Olentangy at Worthington, which is just a few miles above where I shot the pictures:
This graph measures the total water flowing through the stream past the gauge. Normally in August, the average is less than 100 cubic feet of water per second. Wednesday night, when the second picture was taken, the river was discharging about 2000 cubic feet of water per second, and last night, that figure had risen to about 3500 cubic feet per second and rising! That is a ton of water!
In fact, according to the USGS, during the last 40 years, we have set a record for August 24th. The highest recorded discharge for this part of the stream on this day was 2990 cubic feet per second, which we reached in 1980.
So, I'm wondering what the maximum discharge recorded for this station has been?
USGS has that information too. Looking at this graph, the Olentangy is holding its own. Discharges of 5000-6000 cubic feet per second happen about every year, although I'm not sure why there is such a large gap in the middle of the graph. I'm glad I wasn't around in the flood that happened about 1960. 15000 cubic feet per second would have been a real doozy.
So, lets turn now to the Blanchard river, which caused all the flooding in Findlay, Ohio.
The Blanchard is rather calm and placid in August, with discharges averaging less than 100 cubic feet per second, about the same as the Olentangy River. So remember, the Olentangy is way up and it is only discharging less than 4000 cubic feet per second. Here is what the Blanchard has done over the last week:
Take a look at the scale. Yes, the river peaked at just under 20,000 cubic feet per second! That is a ton of water, and that is why there was such catastrophic flooding the in the area. When that much water is flowing through the river, it just simply floods its banks and goes where it normally doesn't go. Lets look at the historical graph for the Blanchard to see how this flood compares with historical highs.
And there you go. You have had to been alive in 1915, it looks like, to see have seen a flood like Findlay has experienced. That the peak flow was over 20,000 cubic feet per second! Yes, they do happen, but not very often, at least when compared to the life span of a human being. In geologic time, floods like this are common.
My thoughts this morning go out to all across Ohio that were affected by all of this rain that northwestern Ohio has seen in the past week.

White-breasted Nuthatch
We have white-breasted nuthatches in our neighborhood occasionally; they may also be successfully nesting. I think this may be a fledgling. He looked a little rough and he was a little to awkward to be an adult. This individual was hangning out in the large black walnut that grows in the fence line between our street and the parking lot above.

Frosted Whiteface?
The frosted whiteface, a dragonfly only found in Triangle Lake Bog State Nature Preserve, is quite a find in Ohio. In the state of Maine, where my wife's parents live, they are not rare.
I think this may be a male frosted whiteface. I'm not sure, but again, this would be another life dragonfly for me. This individual caught my eye when it landed in the shrub zone of the bog at Little Pond. I managed to fire three shots before I got too close and it zoomed away.

The Olentangy
This evening I made it down to the Olentangy River to see how it was doing. Would it overflow its banks? We haven't had as much rain as northwestern Ohio, and a dam above Delaware, Ohio, help store some of the floodwaters above Columbus, but I was still pretty surprised to see just how full the Olentangy was. In July, some parts of the river were only one to two inches deep, and now, these intense August floods.
I normally walk in an amongst these trees. Now, their roots are getting a nice summer bath.
Blue fronted dancers didn't have their usual driftwood and rocky perches. They made due with mud and other plants on the stream terrace.
Aphids seemed to be attacking quite a few cut-leaved coneflower plants.
I typically can wade in the river here, to the left of the tree line in the picture below. To the right of the tree line is typically terra firma. Tonight, I could have gone on a wild kayak ride.

Back to Maine and the Crooked River
Megan's parents live about one mile from the crooked river in western Maine. We drove to a rest area adjacent to the stream and walked south from the parking area.
Here I saw a "life" dragonfly, what I think is the fawn darner, or Boyeria vinosa. I kept seeing them buzz around rocks in the stream, but finally, we almost ran into one perching along the banks. I captured a few shots before it flew off.
After realizing these creature were pretty predictable in their flight patterns, I sat on a big rock and waited for a dragon to approach. I was seated about 10 feet away from a emerged log, and each time a dragon would approach, they would would travel up and down the log. I thought to myself, surely I can get a picture of this dragon in flight, right? About fifty or so shots later and a lot of frustration, I was able to capture one image. Here it is.
The crooked river was awesome. Clean air, cool water, gentle breeze. Here Megan takes it all in.
And how authentic Maine is this. A real live fly fisher person. I didn't see him catch anything, but it sure looks fun. Check out the lush ferns growing on the opposite bank.

The bee strikes again
John Howard of Adams County saw my post with the eastern tailed blue and bee, and he sent along this fantastic picture of an Edward's hairstreak, Satyrium edwardsii. He also had another insect creep into his photo, and he wrote me saying that what I probably had was a type of halictid bee. I've been keeping my eyes out for these little green guys and they seem to be flying around all types of plants right and burying their faces into flowers.

Great Blue Skimmer
I was looking at pictures from earlier this summer, and came across a photo I had taken of a dragonfly in Kenney Park. I had not identified this species previously. Last night, I saw this picture again, and thought, could this be a great blue skimmer? I sent it off to Larry Rosche, and he said it looked good. If so, it would be quite a find for Franklin County. I checked the Ohio Odonata website, and I know the maps there are slightly out of date, but according to that sight, this species hasn't been recorded in Franklin County since before 1950.

These are making you sneeze
Here's a tribute to two plants that make me miserable this time of year, and send me to the medicine cabinet for my allergy remedy of choice, Claritin. (Seriously, just looking at these things sets me off. I just sneezed twice while writing this, Megan yelled bless you from the other room).
The two ragweeds, Ambrosia artemisiifolia and Ambrosia trifida..
And no, goldenrod is not what makes you sneeze! I think people just see fields of goldenrod about the same time their late summer allergies flare up, and figure that it must be the fields of yellow that is causing their suffering. Goldenrod, though, is not pollinated by wind, but by insects. Wind pollinated plants give us problems, since the pollen floats around the air and eventually winds up in our noses, causing us to have these annoying immune responses. These two plants are both annuals, so they are likely to be found in recently disturbed places, such as an empty lot in a new development, or any exposed dirt area.

Wait, I want to be in the picture too.
You know how you'll come back from vacation and you'll have a few shots where some strange little kids jump into the background of the picture and make faces? Well, the same thing happens at Kenney Park along the Olentangy River, except that unwanted insects, rather than kids, are somehow getting into my photos.
On Sunday, I was really tired after working the day before, but my trigger finger was itching since I hadn't been back to the Olentangy River since Megan and I arrived back in Columbus. A few steps off the pavement and I saw the first lepidopteran of the day, an eastern tailed blue. This tiny butterfly was pretty ragged looking, and it was checking out pokeweed. I took several shots, but look what happened to sneak into one of them! Some type of flying green metallic thing. I'm not sure if this is a bee, wasp, or fly, but it is kinda neat. I don't think I could have captured a shot like this if I had tried 1000 times.
So, onto the next butterfly, this one also very ragged, a pearl crescent. This individual was getting nectar from a goldenrod plant. I put the camera on burst mode and ran off a bunch of shots. Sure enough, back at the house, another intruder had crept into the photo, this time a cabbage white butterfly. What is going on?
Apparently in this shot, the cabbage white had left, leaving just the spectacular pearl crescent.
After photographing the crescent, I strolled down to the river, and I noticed that my favorite rock from which to fish was occupied by two pancakes. Oh wait, those aren't pancakes, those are spiny softshelled turtles. The spiny softshell loves to bask on rocks and logs in the Olentangy, and even on its muddy banks. But they are really wary. You can't get within fifty feet without them sliding into the murky water. Luckily, today, I was watching for them, and sure enough, I was able to get a few nice shots by hiding behind a sizable cottonwood tree. As soon as I creeped down the bank to get a closer shot, these guys slid off into the river. Back at home, I checked out the photos, and this time, another flying insect had crashed my photo. Two American rubyspots appeared in the photo, one flying, and one basking on the rock.
I'm taking this as a sign that I most definitely need a camera with clear and precise viewfinder. That Canon Rebel XTI really sounds good right now. Ok, I guess that really does sound like a pretty bad excuse to get a new camera.

Maine Damsels
Dragonflies and Damselflies darted in and out of the swamps and bogs at little pond. All types, from bluets to spreadwings, and meadowhawks to darners were present in Maine. Here is a roundup of the damselflies of Little Pond.
First, the damselflies:
Eastern forktails, a tiny little damsel that we have in Ohio as well, were quite common.
Here is the male. He is perched on bog rosemary, Andromeda polifolia var. glaucophylla, common in bogs in Maine, but a shrub that has become extirpated here in Ohio.
And this, possibly, is a female. Female damselflies are typically much less striking than their colorful male counterparts. Although not as boldly colored, they still possess a sublime beauty.
Here, I think I have another eastern forktail mail, but this guy has more of a bluish color. He still has the distinctive lines on his thorax that somewhat look like exclamation points, but notice, there is not a complete gap like the fragile forktail, a species I did not see in Maine.
Next up we have a sphagnum sprite, Nehalennia gracilis. This species is named because it lives in habitats with sphagnum moss, and bogs are bogs because of sphagnum, or peat moss. The emerald green thorax tipped me off that this guy was interesting. I remember people pointing these out to me last year at Singer Lake Bog in northeast Ohio, but this was the first time I had photographed this species.
Next up is what I believe is a vesper bluet. I haven't seen this species before, but Larry Rosche writes in his book that this species lives in lakes and is most often seen sitting on lilypads, so I think I'm on the right track. The neon yellow thorax and the blue abdominal segment look to match the illustration in his book as well.
To switch things up a bit, now we'll enter the world of spreadwing damselflies. These can be difficult to identify, and I'm not even going to try to guess which species are in the following pictures. Note that these damselflies hold their wings out at an angle while at rest, while other damsels hold their wings closed and above their thorax.

It seems there's yet another trend threatening to steal our children's innocence and corrupt their wholesomeness. No, you can't find it on Spotify, YouTube, or even TV. This time, the culprit is at your local shoe store: heeled footwear.
Brands like Steve Madden Kids and Stuart Weitzman are designing more kid-size wedges and heels—and pearl-clutching moms, dads, and pundits are getting their Fruit of the Looms in a twist. The thinking goes that if a seven-year-old wears elevated espadrilles, she instantly becomes sexualized and robbed of her childhood. But I'm blowing the overreaction whistle on this one. I don't think sandals with a chunky, barely there heel are going to usher girls down a path of depravity. We're not exactly talking Pleaser USA stilettos. We're talking a relatively staid bit of grown-up dress-up—and would anyone even bat an eye if Junior put on a tie and a pair of brogues? If we're going to call the fashion morality police, my vote would go toward reporting underwear-exposing miniskirts or naughty Halloween costumes that come in suspiciously small sizes. (Full disclosure: Yes, I spent my youth shuffling around the house in Mom's pumps and some plastic mules from the grocery store; and no, I did not turn into a trollop.)
There is one very real hazard to girls wearing heels, however, and that's safety. "Little kids are just not coordinated enough," says Adam Wollowick, a spinal and orthopedic surgeon and an assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx in New York City. "They can trip in heels, leading to fractures or sprains." Wollowick also warns that children in heels might be at risk for shortened heel cords from excessive foot flexing, or spondylolysis—a stress fracture in the back due to strain on their less-developed spines. So if you're going to let your tot teeter in heels, Wollowick advises limiting it to a couple hours a day, tops—that's dress-up time, not playground or school time. He adds, "I would be extra cautious until the age of eight. At that point they've developed a bit more coordination. It's a fairly arbitrary number, but I think it's a reasonable age."
