Florence Lake
One of the highest reservoirs in the western sierras, pretty crazy the mountain range behind it is all that divides east from west. Bishop is literally 20 miles from here but you can't reach it without a snowmobile.. or a horse.

Hooper Diversion
Just outside Florence lake, this area is home to lots of huge rock climbing, off roading, fishing and primitive camping. Hooper diversion ends at a small secluded dam (Hooper) to control flow down to the lower lakes.

Kaiser Pass
Kaiser Pass is a treacherous 20 mile stretch of poorly maintained single-lane road leading to some of the best secluded camping in the western sierras. Cliffs on either side, keep your wits about you, it's fun!

Otay Mountain US/MEX Border
This is a new spot my friends turned me on to, where you can shoot guns freely and offroad many miles of barely hospitable mountain tracks. There's even several abandoned military bunkers to hang out in, just play nice cuz there's a lot of border patrol in the area. Beautiful views of the US and Mexico from these hilltops.

Morley Field Disc Golf Course
San Diego, CA's finest 19 holes (get your mind out of the gutter!;) the morning after a sweet November thunder storm. Been enjoying this course for about ten years now, and it really makes me happy that this huge piece of nature is still so well preserved and thriving in the middle of the city. What's more, it's never crowded early in the day! As I played today solo, a couple duos invited me to play through with them, and I made about 4 new friends that I'm looking forward to golfing with again. Nothing beats the kind of fun people have when they feel removed from the bustle the city, even when they're surrounded by it. www.morleyfield.com for more info about the park, no boom boxes!

Route 108
Our first time through a very impressive section of Northern California, namely, route 108 connecting bridgeport (north of Lundy lake on the 395) to the west side of CA via a far north route that wraps through Humboldt / Toyabe / Stanislaus national forests. Can't wait to plan an in-depth trip here, look out 2012!

Bodie Ghost Town
It was raining during part of our time at Lundy Lake, so we drove out east 40 minutes or so to the legendary Bodie Ghost Town out in the desert north of Mono Lake. You can really see the rain / snow / sun fight back and forth throughout the entire visit. It was surprisingly cold and we weren't prepared, so we checked it out fairly quickly. Spooky.

BLM Land, Ocotillo Area Open Desert
My original desert trip was delayed due to truck problems, but it finally happened. Camp Carlson was reformed out in the BLM badlands east of Ocotillo, CA after almost a decade of no visits from any of the family. After the first night of rain the trip was nothing but blue skies, hiking and shooting. It's still not quite warm enough to see fields of desert flowers, though I found a few scattered signs of blooming.

Month to month termination (Indiana)
Indiana law regarding month to month termination:
We have terminated our month to month contract within excess of 30 day notice. Notice given in 2nd wk of December 2009. Our lease was for footage in retail store where next month rent was dedeucted from sales. We completely vacanted the store prior to Jan 31, 2010. Continuous notice given each day while moving stock out of store was given thru out the moving process. After vacating the property we where told that our remaininng sales check would be available the following week. This was communicated to us for three weeks in a row. Now after the fourth week we are being told that we did not give notice and that we owe them for rent service not given nor wanted for February when we where not in the store. Numberous verbal commuications have lead to nowhere. They are holding our sales $$ and applying to the next month full well knowing we where not in the store. What legal recourse do we have to collect those sales $$?

re: Month to month termination (Indiana)
This is commerical rental law, not residential rentals. The normal LL-Tenant law does not apply. What amount of time did your lease state was required? How much notice to vacate were you required to give? Did your lease state that this notice hd to be given in WRITING, and did you do so? Verbal notices mean nothing. Always get and give everything in writing.

Re: Month to month termination (Indiana)
The contract did not specify verbal or written only 30 days was required. It further states with 30 day notice you can move out of your space with no penalties. Obviously written would have been better. Given the agreement is on their lease agreement is it not their responsibility to define verbal or written is necessary? It is clear they are attemtpting to take advantage of the situation. As far as I understand, it is the landlords responsibilty to define and any ambiguity usually sides with the tenant. I found this:
A rental agreement or lease is a written or an oral contract between persons. A properly written agreement will eliminate most of the misunderstandings and problems that commonly arise between a landlord and a tenant. A rental agreement benefits and protects both parties, and is an efficient way of handling a business transaction. Your written agreement may create a tenancy from week to week, month to month or year to year. For your protection, either as a landlord or as a tenant, it is usually wise to specify the exact manner in which the rental agreement may be terminated. If there is no written lease, the landlord or the tenant may end a week- to-week tenancy by giving the other party at least seven days notice prior to termination. Both parties may end a month-to-month oral tenancy by giving the other party at least 30 days notice prior to the end of the current monthly term.
A landlord may not limit or escape responsibility for legal liability by the use of contract clauses in a rental agreement signed by the tenant. If such a clause appears in any rental agreement, it will not be used against the tenant.
Ordinarily, a rental agreement is prepared by the landlord. For this reason, any doubtful or ambiguous terms are decided against the landlord and in favor of the tenant.
Under Indiana law, both tenants and landlords may recover damages in some situations for the unlawful act of the other party. However, Indiana law provides that a party may only recover their reasonable attorney's fees paid if it falls within special statutory exceptions or if the contact or lease provides for one party to pay the other's legal fees.
When can security deposits be applied to amounts owed instead of returned?
When a tenant moves out at the end of a rental agreement, there are certain rules for both the tenant and the landlord to follow.
The tenant should surrender the premises in as good condition as they were when the tenant moved in. This requires the tenant to leave the premises as he or she found them, making only the repairs needed to restore the premises. The tenant is not responsible for ordinary wear and tear on the premises. The tenant must leave a new or forwarding address in writing with the landlord.
After the tenant moves out, any of the tenant's money or property that the landlord holds as a security deposit can be applied to damages the landlord has incurred as a result of the tenant's actions. Indiana law provides that if the landlord wishes to deduct any amount, the deductions must be itemized in writing by the landlord and delivered together with the balance due to the tenant at the forwarding address provided by the tenant within 45 days after the tenant has moved. If the landlord does not comply with this law, the tenant may recover damages and attorney's fees through a court action. This is one of several instances where, under Indiana law, tenants and/or landlords may recover damages and reasonable attorney's fees for the unlawful act of the other party.
Does this not apply for both rsidential as well as commercial? i would find this had to believe one would be much different thent he other as bboth are business agreements. Or am I totally off base.

Re: Month to month termination (Indiana)
The sections you quote are residential lease law. Commercial lease law IS much different. Residential lease law does not apply to commercial leases. Tenant protections under resdiential lease law do not apply to commercial tenants. The two are completely different. Residential tenants have an entire section of statutes devoted to their protection. Commercial tenants have few or none. Sorry. The reason for this is simple. Residential tenants use the rental as their home. If they are not protected, the tenant could end up homeless through no fault of their own. Therefore, many laws are in place to protect these tenants. Commercial tenants are business people. They are in the business of renting space for that entity. They are free to negotiate any aspect of the contract from the rent level to improvements specific to their type of business. Since the types of business and the necessary demands of those businesses are so varied, it would be impractical to write one commercial lease law that would cover all situations and needs of the tenant. So business contracts are left up to the business owners to negotiate and handle the contract. Thus, there are few commercial lease laws. As a business owner, you are expected to know this.
Without written notice to vacate, how can you prove you gave notice? The burden of proof is on you, not the LL. He will claim you never gave notice. Unfortunately, it is then up to you to prove you did. Verbal agreements are not good, especially in commercial rentals where the written lease is the law. Do you have any proof that you did give notice and when you gave it? If you do, you can file a suit against them in small claims court to get the money back. In future, get all leases and agreements of ANY kind in writing.

Their findings suggest a novel target for cancer therapy and have significant implications for how oncologists and researchers developing immunotherapies assess T cells found in tumors.
Ludwig researchers have designed a test for circulating tumor DNA to determine a patient's risk of colon cancer recurrence and monitor the effects of chemotherapy after surgery. The study suggests their liquid biopsy could help improve treatment and outcomes for stage II cancer patients.
Stephen Hodi, an investigator at Ludwig Harvard, reports that 34 percent of patients with advanced melanoma who were treated the immunotherapy nivolumab alone were still alive five years later.

In the year since I asked this Congress to raise the minimum wage, five states have passed laws to raise theirs. Many businesses have done it on their own. Nick Chute is here today with his boss, John Soranno. John's an owner of Punch Pizza in Minneapolis, and Nick helps make the dough. Only now he makes more of it. John just gave his employees a raise, to 10 bucks an hour — and that's a decision that has eased their financial stress and boosted their morale.
Tonight, I ask more of America's business leaders to follow John's lead: Do what you can to raise your employees' wages. It's good for the economy. It's good for America. To every mayor, governor, state legislator in America, I say you don't have to wait for Congress to act — Americans will support you if you take this on.
And as a chief executive, I intend to lead by example. Profitable corporations like Costco see higher wages as the smart way to boost productivity and reduce turnover. We should too. In the coming weeks, I will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour — because if you cook our troops' meals or wash their dishes, you should not have to live in poverty.
Of course, to reach millions more, Congress does need to get on board. Today, the federal minimum wage is worth about 20 percent less than it was when Ronald Reagan first stood here. And Tom Harkin and George Miller have a bill to fix that by lifting the minimum wage to $10.10. It's easy to remember, $10.10. This will help families. It will give businesses customers with more money to spend. It does not involve any new bureaucratic program. So join the rest of the country. Say yes. Give America a raise. Give them a raise.
There are other steps we can take to help families make ends meet, and few are more effective at reducing inequality and helping families pull themselves up through hard work than the Earned Income Tax Credit. Right now, it helps about half of all parents at some point. Think about that — it helps about half of all parents in America at some point in their lives. But I agree with Republicans like Senator Rubio that it doesn't do enough for single workers who don't have kids. So let's work together to strengthen the credit, reward work, help more Americans get ahead.
Let's do more to help Americans save for retirement. Today, most workers don't have a pension. A Social Security check often isn't enough on its own. And while the stock market has doubled over the last five years, that doesn't help folks who don't have 401(k)s. That's why, tomorrow, I will direct the Treasury to create a new way for working Americans to start their own retirement savings: MyRA.
It's a new savings bond that encourages folks to build a nest egg. MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in. And if this Congress wants to help, work with me to fix an upside-down tax code that gives big tax breaks to help the wealthy save, but does little or nothing for middle-class Americans. Offer every American access to an automatic IRA on the job, so they can save at work just like everyone in this chamber can.
And since the most important investment many families make is their home, send me legislation that protects taxpayers from footing the bill for a housing crisis ever again, and keeps the dream of homeownership alive for future generations.
One last point on financial security: For decades, few things exposed hardworking families to economic hardship more than a broken health care system. And in case you haven't heard, we're in the process of fixing that. A preexisting condition used to mean that someone like Amanda Shelley, a physician's assistant and single mom from Arizona, couldn't get health insurance. But on January 1st, she got covered. On January 3rd, she felt a sharp pain. On January 6th, she had emergency surgery. Just one week earlier, Amanda said, that surgery would have meant bankruptcy.
That's what health insurance reform is all about -- the peace of mind that if misfortune strikes, you don't have to lose everything. Already, because of the Affordable Care Act, more than 3 million Americans under age 26 have gained coverage under their parents' plans. More than 9 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage. Nine million.

Full year results for Vivendi.
My scenario is that they'll announce the sale of their majority stake in Activision Blizzard @13-14 dollars a share to management+PE funds
Following that, special dividend + tender offer on 20% of the capital.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
If any announcement, I would expect them to take it private. They are on a gold mine. Skylanders is a huge attraction and COD is not tapering off as so many predicted. No reason to share the winnings if the investment community doesn't warrant the same ideals of the price as the board. Their best investment is in their own money making machine. I'm expecting 100% return in 2013.

SIR – I agree with Professor Millard's concern (Letters, September 3) about patients being terminally sedated and dispatched before their time.
Three years ago my Mother, aged 88, had a mild stroke and was admitted to hospital on a very hot day. She became increasingly dehydrated. A drip was inserted and she became more alert.
We were told that an epigastric feed would be inserted, but after several days there was no sign of this, and a young doctor informed us it was not going to be.
We had a meeting with several staff who tried to persuade us it would be kinder "to let Mum go", and that not being fed and watered was a gentle way to die. We insisted on the feeding tube, and my mother had three active years of extra life.
How many other patients' relatives thought that the medical profession knew best and gave permission for withholding food and drink?
Jean Thornton
London SE1
SIR – Over the past 30 years I have had the misfortune to watch several of my relatives suffer long, slow and extremely painful deaths from incurable disease.
I have also had pets who have been stricken with similar diseases.
You do not have to be Einstein to deduce which group suffered less and died with their dignity preserved.
In my opinion the animals are allowed to be treated with more compassion and humanely in that their "biological lives" are not prolonged unnecessarily.
John G. Randall
Wigan, Lancashire
SIR – I do not believe there is a "nationwide wave of discontent" regarding terminal management and the Liverpool Care Pathway in particular.
I examine 60 deceased patients a year to complete Part 5 of the new, very robust cremation forms on behalf of a hospice. Doctors signing Part 4 have to explain in detail why patients needed the care given.
I also speak to the nearest relative and nursing staff where possible, and in none of the last 60 cases were they in any way critical of the management given.
Furthermore, relatives can examine cremation forms under the new rules and raise concerns if they wish.
My observations are that hospice patients were no more dehydrated than others. I want to reassure readers there is no culture of "tick-box medicine" in use.
Dr R. A. Davies
Chelmsford, Essex
SIR – The Government is "investing £286 million" over the next couple of years to implement the Liverpool Pathway strategy for those thought to be dying.
Let's see ... elderly person, unable to communicate + dehydration + heavy sedation + cash-strapped government = death.
As they say in America, "Do the math".
Ann Farmer
Woodford Green, Essex
Ghost villages
SIR – It is too simplistic to blame the closure of village schools solely upon an alleged shortage of affordable housing (Letters, September 3).
Many villages lack the attractions for commuters and second-home owners. They too are affected by the movement of their young to areas where they can seek employment, entertainment and a partner.
The mechanisation of farming and rising transport costs have denuded the countryside of employment opportunities, although paradoxically commuters and second-home owners support the building trade. Unfortunately, many of the young who remain in villages are unemployable, single mothers and on benefits. Buying their own home is usually not an option, whether "affordable" or not.
Russell Hopkins
Newport, Pembrokeshire
In the dark
SIR – There are two disadvantages to low energy lamps (Letters, September 2) which may not be well-known. Packaging on some lamps warns that they are unsuitable for use with electronic switches, such as timers, which one might use for security purposes while away from home. Manufacturers say it's due to interference between the circuits in the controlling device and the lamp.
I have also found that some low energy lamps won't work at all in external lighting when the weather is cold.
John Edwards
Spaxton, Somerset
Dry Britain
SIR – Before the Second World War there were plenty of drinking fountains (Letters, September 2) all over the country but they were removed to conserve water. Clearly, they should have been replaced.
Bill Barrett
Kenton, Suffolk
Lock up your drunks
SIR – Detective Inspector Gordon's plea (Letters, September 3) for street drunks to be dealt with under existing provisions of the law is spot on. Perhaps we should look at a solution still in evidence today – the "lock-up". Here in Somerset, Castle Cary, Pensford, Kingsbury Episcopi, Monkton Combe and Buckland Dinham still possess their own lock-ups for ne'er-do-wells and miscreants.
Constructed in the mid-18th century these facilities were used to house drunks and petty criminals until they could be seen by the magistrate. The facilities for prisoners included a locked door, a cold stone floor, solid walls and plenty of time to reflect on the error of their ways.
Rod Morris
Rodney Stoke, Somerset
School dash
SIR – The school run started again on Wednesday. At 8.30am, I was doing 70mph on the A5 through Milton Keynes when I was overtaken by a people carrier with four children in the back and the driver shouting and gesticulating.
I would like her to explain why she had a sticker in the back informing that there was a "baby on board".
Peter Walton
Moreton, Buckinghamshire
Megrahi and the Scots
SIR – The institutional inequity of Scottish MPs voting on English issues can never have been more powerfully shown than in the Megrahi affair, constitutionally pitting a Scottish Executive against a British Government – with the added injustice of our Prime Minister representing a constituency in Scotland and without an English mandate.
Was David Cameron right in declaring Conservative policy "wrong" to oppose devolution in this form?
Timothy Bradshaw
SIR – I am pleased that Simon Heffer (Comment, September 2) has turned his ire where it belongs: on to the mischief-maker, Alex Salmond. Mr Heffer's talents should now be directed toward supporting Mr Salmond's promised referendum on Scottish independence before a general election. Call his bluff and embarrass him deeply; the Scots would love to slap him down on this issue.
Not that I, a Scot, would be allowed a vote, being domiciled in England.
Michael Phillips
Lavendon, Buckinghamshire
SIR – Surely the debate on Megrahi should have taken place before his release, not when he is safely ensconced back in Libya?
Tony Fenlon
Girdle Toll, Ayrshire
Bookshelf diagnosis
SIR – The trouble with Gill Hornby's observations (Comment, September 2) on the bookshelves of Phillip Garrido, the kidnap suspect, is that this sort of thing only works with hindsight.
For instance, it became well known after the events leading to his incarceration that Charles Manson's favourite books were The Beatles' Songbook, The Revelation of St John the Divine, and R.A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. (This last is a novel of epic silliness, in which the hero proves to be an avatar of St Michael.)
I imagine the Beach Boys knew Manson's tastes, but they never put two and two together to predict mass murder, nor could they have been expected to.
As my own shelves are heavy with Brian Aldiss, Poul Anderson, Larry Niven, Robert Rankin, Jack Vance and Roger Zelazny, it can be predicted that I'm a man of excellent taste, into science fiction, irreligious, heterosexual, Right-wing, old, and a thoroughly good egg.
C.N. Gilmore
Reasons behind Chamberlain's delay in declaring war
SIR – Neil Tweedie (Features, September 3) implies that "years of appeasing Adolf Hitler" only ended with the declaration of war on September 3.
Chamberlain consistently followed what would today be called a twin-track approach. Since becoming Prime Minister in 1937 he had spent more on defence than anyone in British history. When Hitler occupied Prague in March 1939, Chamberlain saw that the possibility of reaching an agreement no longer existed. At that moment he gave the guarantee to Poland which led to war six months later.
The delay in declaring war after the invasion of Poland had two causes. First, France wanted time to evacuate Paris and the border areas with Germany. Second, Mussolini proposed a conference to reach a peaceful solution. That initiative collapsed at 9.30pm on September 2.
While a violent thunderstorm raged above No 10, the British Cabinet met at 11.30pm to agree its final ultimatum.

Auckland company Stolen Rum gave away 150 new couches in
three cities - Dunedin, Sydney and Miami - yesterday.
Debbie Mason and Kyla Fraser arrived in Albany St about
10.30am and were first in the queue for the ''first come,
first served'' couch grab from the now-closed Captain Cook
Tavern garden bar at 1pm.
Ms Fraser said the hours of waiting were passed with the
''clowning around'' of fourth-in-the-queue Les Mackle, who
provided ice blocks, and security guard Siv Sanele, who sang
and danced.
When the doors opened at 1pm, about 50 people were allowed
access to the garden bar to grab a new two-seater couch
covered in black fabric with the words ''this is stolen''
printed on the front.
''This is the greatest day of my life,'' said student Adam
Pretorius, balancing a couch on his head as he headed home.
Student Nick Zwi used the same strong-arm method of
''I'm walking it home - all the way to Queen St,'' Mr Zwi
Flatmates Richard Scott and Jake Shearstone used skateboards
to roll two couches back to their Woodhaugh home.
Stolen Rum global brand manager Katie Du Fall said Dunedin
was chosen for the giveaway because Stolen Rum co-founder
Jamie Duff studied at the University of Otago and knew the
''big part'' couches played in student life.
Those who missed out on a couch were given soft tacos as a

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique to elucidate the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. NMR can provide information in atomic detail about well-folded soluble proteins, integral membrane and membrane associated proteins, ligand-protein interactions, protein aggregates, and even partially folded proteins. Approximately one-third of all proteins are located in biological membranes. Membrane proteins have diverse biological functions, and it is estimated that they constitute at least half of all therapeutic drug targets. Structural elucidation of membrane proteins remains challenging, and less than 2% are structurally characterized. We utilize both solution and solid state NMR techniques to investigate membrane proteins in solution and in their native environment, in membranes. Additional research interests include proteins associated with the development of Huntington's disease and stabilizing agents which protect biological macromolecules against the lethal effects of freezing and drying in vitro and in live cells.

DEAR ABBY: I took my grandsons to see a movie. They were looking forward to our outing all week. As we stood in line to buy tickets, I realized I had only a $20 bill in my wallet.
We had planned to lunch on hot dogs and drinks in the theater, but I knew I wouldn't have enough cash. I told my grandchildren we had a problem - I was short of money - but I figured I could write a check.
The 7-year-old said, "No, MeeMaw! The sign says cash only." I replied, "That's OK because it doesn't cost much for kids." He piped up again, "MeeMaw, the sign says $4 for children."
As the line to the cashier grew shorter, we decided that we'd buy only one hot dog and one drink, and we'd share.
Unbeknownst to me, a young lady standing in front of us overheard our conversation. When she reached the cashier, she purchased her tickets, then turned to me and handed me three tickets to see our movie. I was shocked and delighted and so were the boys. I tried to thank her, but she was gone in a flash.
Abby, I will never forget that dear girl's kindness and neither will the boys. I hope she sees this letter so she will know what an impact her spontaneous act of kindness had on us. - GRATEFUL MEEMAW IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
DEAR MEEMAW: So do I. Acts of kindness are like pebbles tossed into a reflecting pool. The ripples radiate outward long after the deed is done.
DEAR ABBY: I know you sometimes enjoy sharing amusing incidents with your readers. Years ago, we lived in a friendly community of row houses with attached garages. I was attending college at the time, and usually returned home around midnight.
My best pal, my cat Peg, would wait for me on top of the garage. When I left the garage, Peg would jump on my shoulders and remain there for several hours after I went inside to study.
One night I was delayed getting home. My next-door neighbor, an alcoholic, came home from a party stewed to the gills around the time I usually got there. There were no lights in the garage, and it was very dark.
Assuming it was me, Peg jumped on his shoulders as he left the garage. My neighbor screamed and yelled. The neighbors came out to see what was going on. The police arrived. Hysteria ensued.
The next day the morning paper had the headline, "Wild Animal Escapes From Zoo." - MORRIS W. IN ARIZONA
DEAR MORRIS: And I know which one. It was one of their pink elephants.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

"BUCERIAS - Quiet and Peaceful" Top 5 Page for this destination Bucerías by emmicat
Bucerías Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 94 photos
Bucerias is a smallish village about a half hour drive from Puerto Vallarta on the Bay of Banderas. Bucerias is popular on the week-ends with the locals living in nearby cities especially on holidays. I was there part of Easter week and was amazed at how many large families arrived to spend the day on the beach. The food venders were out in force and everyone seemed to have a great time. Despite the influx the beaches were still far from crowded and I loved seeing all the extended family members coming together for the day.
The little market boomed as well as more vendors selling all kinds of food in the plazza.
During the week Bucerias is a peaceful, quiet village with numerous decent resteraunts and deserted beaches. There are many Canadians that live here half the year from October to April and own homes and businesses. Language is not a problem - most of the business people speak English.
More to come!!! I will be adding some tips and more photos in the next few days.
- Pros:Quiet, peaceful, beautiful beach.
- Cons:Maybe too quiet for some.
- In a nutshell:Take lots of books!

Australia's conservative opposition leader Tony Abbott, frontrunner to become prime minister in upcoming polls, urged voters Sunday to dump the Labor government which he described as the worst in the nation's history.
Opinion polls suggest Abbott is on course for victory against Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in the September 7 elections, and at his Liberal Party's major rally in Brisbane, he called on voters to give him a chance.
"You don't expect miracles, just a government that is competent and trustworthy and a prime minister who doesn't talk down to you," he said.
"And I'm confident that your expectations can be more than met."
Abbott, a former minister in John Howard's government, took the stage to a standing ovation from the party faithful before calling for the removal of "the worst government in our history".
"I will spend the next two weeks reassuring people that there is a better way, while Mr Rudd will spend the next two weeks trying to scare you about what might happen if he doesn't keep his job," Abbott said.
Labor has charged that Abbott, if elected, would "cut to the bone". But the opposition leader said the country could not afford another term under centre-left Labor, which has been in power for six years and has switched prime ministers twice in that time.
Rudd led Labor to victory against the conservatives in 2007, but was dumped by his party for his then-deputy Julia Gillard in 2010. Gillard won an election that year but was removed by Labor two months ago and replaced with Rudd to try to improve the party's chances at the election.
"I say: give my team a chance," Abbott said at the official launch.
"Choose change and the last six years will soon seem like an aberration."
Abbott said his plans for government under a Liberal/National coalition, which would return the budget to surplus and abolish a carbon emissions tax and a mining tax, contrasted with "a confused and chaotic Labor Party".
He pledged to fund an interest-free loan scheme to help apprentices train in certain trades, help make certain medicines cheaper for retirees and plough millions of dollars into dementia research.
Responding to the launch, Labor's Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus called on Abbott to explain his costings for his policies which he said were economically irresponsible.
"He is on track now to deliver huge cuts for a generation," Dreyfus said.
Rudd will officially launch Labor's campaign next Sunday also in Queensland, a vital electoral state for both parties.
Speaking earlier to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, he acknowledged Labor had made mistakes, but said that on the "big calls" it got things right.
"On the big calls on the economy, and keeping us out of recession, we got that right. Our actions on the global financial crisis, we got that right," Rudd said.
Rudd again called on Abbott to reveal where he would make cuts to balance the budget, saying if they were too deep they risked throwing the economy into recession down the track.
Abbott's launch came one day after a Nielsen poll published in the Sydney Morning Herald put his Liberal/National coalition ahead of Rudd's Labor party by 53 percent to 47 percent.
The poll of 2,545 people also revealed that Abbott was seen as the more trusted leader, scoring 43 percent to Rudd's 36 percent.

Denise Lewis finished on top of the medal podium at the European Cup for Combined Events here yesterday but whether she will ever reach the same dizzy heights again at a major championships remains very much in the balance after a performance that showed only glimpses of her former prowess.
Competing in her first heptathlon since she won the Olympic title in Sydney, the 30 year-old attained the qualifying standard for next month's World Championships in Paris and helped Britain's women to the team gold medal and promotion to Europe's Super League.
Due mainly to her dogged determination in the throwing and jumping events, Lewis amassed a score of 6,282 points in the Kadrioru Stadium, 177 points inside the qualifying standard for Paris. It was good enough to earn her the individual silver medal and a ranking of fourth in the world this year.
As a comeback, it was more than encouraging but she admitted there was more work to do before she could consider herself a medal contender at the highest level. "My aims were to find the qualifying standard for Paris and help the girls get back in the Super League. I've achieved both, so I'm very happy. Whether I'll go to the World Championships remains to be seen."
The necessity of having to find the qualifying standard was difficult enough for the Olympic champion, but Lewis also had to contend with being beaten by the woman, 10 years her junior, who is fast turning the event on its head.
Carolina Kluft, the bubbly European champion, was an easy winner and her 6,692 points marked the fourth time in a row that the exceptional Swede has won a heptathlon with a personal best.
The total also underlined her ranking as a potential gold medallist in Paris and the athlete most likely to succeed Lewis as Olympic champion in Athens in 13 months' time.
But while Kluft's victory in the Estonian capital was a formality, Lewis's ability to recapture something of her best form was always questionable. The opening event, the 100 metres hurdles, showed why. Hampered by a knee injury and a lack of basic speed, Lewis laboured over the first barrier and hit the second on her way to 13.80sec.
Running alongside Lewis, Kluft clocked 13.22sec, the first of three personal bests she was to set on her way to victory. Lewis's 200m was equally poor, while in the final event, the 800m, her 2min 20.34sec was five seconds adrift of her target time.
The salvation she needed came in a high jump of 1.74m, a useful shot put of 15.54m, a last round clearance of 6.33m in the long jump and a throw of 49.57m in the javelin.
UK Athletics, no doubt, will be pleased she is back but they should be alarmed that the figure who attracted as much attention as Lewis was Dr Ekkart Arbeit, the discredited former East German who was recruited by her head coach, Frank Dick to help with her throwing and conditioning.
Arbeit declined all interview requests and, at one stage, was admonished by Dick for losing his temper with the Daily Telegraph photographer. Lewis's association with Arbeit continues to do neither her nor the sport any favours.
Katharine Merry continued her comeback from injury with her first individual 400m for two years at the Cork City Games in Ireland. She clocked 52.42sec to finish second to Julianne Clay of the US.

With all of the excitement surrounding yesterday's LIGO announcement, RTE News decided to come out to UCD and interview our group to get our impressions. I was delighted to see a clip from my interview make it onto the evening news, and also into an article on the RTE website.
Gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger
Yesterday was an incredibly exciting day for everyone in the gravitational physics community. After months of rumours, the LIGO collaboration made the spectacular announcement that they have achieved the first ever direct detection of gravitational waves. It's difficult to put into words the enormity of their accomplishment. It's a shoo-in for a Nobel prize (probably for LIGO's three founders Kip Thorne, Ronald Drever and Rai Weiss) and has been widely heralded as one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of our time. As if that wasn't enough, the gravitational waves – which were detected by both LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015 at 09:51 UTC – were generated over a billion years ago by the merger of a binary black hole system. So in one go the discovery has made two huge scientific breakthroughs: it has confirmed Einstein's prediction that gravitational waves exist and can be detected on Earth; and it has confirmed that black holes exist and can appear in binary pairs.
It was particularly impressive that the announcement came along with the simultaneous publication of a peer-reviewed paper in Physical Review Letters (also on arXiv), along with 12 other papers giving all of the nitty–gritty technical details and a full release of the data from the detection, which has been given the name GW150914. The real excitement now is what's next. Detecting gravitational waves was just the start; as LIGO continues to collect data and its sensitivity is improved we can expect to see gravitational waves from a whole host of other sources including binary neutron stars, supernovae and relic gravitational waves from the first instants after the big bang.
Looking further into the future, the next grand challenge will be to take gravitational-wave detection into space, where it is unaffected by the low-frequency noise encountered on the Earth. We have already made the first steps towards this challenging goal: the LISA pathfinder technology demonstrator mission was recently launched into space and is set to begin tests within the next few weeks. This will be followed up by the European Space Agency's eLISA mission, which will take three LIGO-like interferometers, scale the arm lengths up from 4km to several million kilometres, and launch them into space. The mission will open gravitational wave astronomy up to a whole host of new sources including super-massive black hole binaries and extreme-mass-ratio inspirals.
For more details on yesterday's announcement, you can watch the full thing, listen to the signal they found, and view some
movies produced by the SXS collaboration using numerical relativity simulations.
Science with the space-based interferometer eLISA. I: Supermassive black hole binaries
The preprint of my latest paper with Antoine Klein, Enrico Barausse, Alberto Sesana, Antoine Petiteau, Emanuele Berti, Stanislav Babak, Jonathan Gair, Sofiane Aoudia, Ian Hinder and Frank Ohme is now available on the arXiv as 1511.05581, and has also been published as Phys. Rev. D 93, 024003 (2016). The abstract for the article is below:
We compare the science capabilities of different eLISA mission designs, including four-link (two-arm) and six-link (three-arm) configurations with different arm lengths, low-frequency noise sensitivities and mission durations. For each of these configurations we consider a few representative massive black hole formation scenarios. These scenarios are chosen to explore two physical mechanisms that greatly affect eLISA rates, namely (i) black hole seeding, and (ii) the delays between the merger of two galaxies and the merger of the black holes hosted by those galaxies. We assess the eLISA parameter estimation accuracy using a Fisher matrix analysis with spin-precessing, inspiral-only waveforms. We quantify the information present in the merger and ringdown by rescaling the inspiral-only Fisher matrix estimates using the signal-to-noise ratio from non-precessing inspiral-merger-ringdown phenomenological waveforms, and from a reduced set of precessing numerical relativity/post-Newtonian hybrid waveforms. We find that all of the eLISA configurations considered in our study should detect some massive black hole binaries. However, configurations with six links and better low-frequency noise will provide much more information on the origin of black holes at high redshifts and on their accretion history, and they may allow the identification of electromagnetic counterparts to massive black hole mergers.
City of Physics
Throughout November, the City of Physics project is gathering scientists, artists and designers together to bring physics to every corner of Dublin city. There has been a live projection of the sun, physics-themed talks, physics-themed stand-up comedy, a physics-themed ad campaign, and more to come. There's also a blog with daily posts covering all sorts of scenarios where physics appears. I had the privilege of writing a blog entry, and it has appeared as today's post.
Black holes talk by Sarp Akcay
My office mate Sarp Akcay recently gave a nice public talk on "Black Holes: from a mathematical curiosity to Hollywood blockbuster" as part of the Pint of Science festival. Check it out to get an idea of the kind of research our group is interested in.
Applying the effective-source approach to frequency-domain self-force calculations: Lorenz-gauge gravitational perturbations
The preprint of my latest paper with Niels Warburton is now available on the arXiv. The abstract for the article is below:
With a view to developing a formalism that will be applicable at second perturbative order, we devise a new practical scheme for computing the gravitational self-force experienced by a point mass moving in a curved background spacetime. Our method works in the frequency domain and employs the effective-source approach, in which a distributional source for the retarded metric perturbation is replaced with an effective source for a certain regularized self-field. A key ingredient of the calculation is the analytic determination of an appropriate puncture field from which the effective source and regularized residual field can be calculated. In addition to its application in our effective-source method, we also show how this puncture field can be used to derive tensor-harmonic mode-sum regularization parameters that improve the efficiency of the traditional mode-sum procedure. To demonstrate the method, we calculate the first-order-in-the-mass-ratio self-force and redshift invariant for a point mass on a circular orbit in Schwarzschild spacetime.
Update: The paper has now been published as Phys. Rev. D92, 084019 (2015).
Octupolar invariants for compact binaries on quasi-circular orbits
The preprint of my latest paper with Patrick Nolan, Chris Kavanagh, Sam R Dolan, Adrian C Ottewill, and Niels Warburton is now available on the arXiv. The abstract for the article is below:
We extend the gravitational self-force methodology to identify and compute new tidal invariants for a compact body of mass on a quasi-circular orbit about a black hole of mass . In the octupolar sector we find seven new degrees of freedom, made up of 3+3 conservative/dissipative `electric' invariants and 3+1 `magnetic' invariants, satisfying 1+1 and 1+0 trace conditions. After formulating for equatorial circular orbits on Kerr spacetime, we calculate explicitly for Schwarzschild spacetime. We employ both Lorenz gauge and Regge-Wheeler gauge numerical codes, and the functional series method of Mano, Suzuki and Takasugi. We present (i) highly-accurate numerical data and (ii) high-order analytical post-Newtonian expansions. We demonstrate consistency between numerical and analytic results, and prior work. We explore the application of these invariants in effective one-body models, and binary black hole initial-data formulations, and conclude with a discussion of future work.
Update: The paper has now been published as Phys. Rev. D 92, 123008 (2015).
Talk at Perimeter Institute
On Tuesday, March 24 2015 I gave a talk at Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Canada. In the presentation, I described xAct, a tensor algebra package for Mathematica which was primarily developed by Jose Maria Martin-Garcia. The talk is available online through the Perimeter Institute video library and the Mathematica notebook containing the slides from the talk are available for download separately.
Talk in UCD CASL seminar series
On Thursday, March 19 2015 I gave a talk in the CASL Seminar Series at University College Dublin. In the presentation, I gave an overview of my research on "Numerical Simulations of Black Hole Binaries". The talk is available online in the above YouTube video.
Analytical high-order post-Newtonian expansions for extreme mass ratio binaries
The preprint of my latest paper with Chris Kavanagh and Adrian Ottewill is now available on the arXiv. The abstract for the article is below:
We present analytic computations of gauge invariant quantities for a point mass in a circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole, giving results up to 15.5 post-Newtonian order in this paper and up to 21.5 post-Newtonian order in an online repository. Our calculation is based on the functional series method of Mano, Suzuki and Takasugi (MST) and a recent series of results by Bini and Damour. We develop an optimised method for generating post-Newtonian expansions of the MST series, enabling significantly faster computations. We also clarify the structure of the expansions for large values of , and in doing so develop an efficient new method for generating the MST renormalised angular momentum, .
Update: The paper has now been published as Phys. Rev. D 92, 084025 (2015).

At first, the music of Grateful Dead icon Jerry Garcia and the sound of a symphony orchestra don't seem like the most natural of partners.
But, for more than a year the touring spectacular known as the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration has remarkably bridged the worlds of jam band rock and classical music.
And, it's a sonic pairing that Garcia himself envisioned before the guitarist, singer and composer's death in 1995 at the age of 53 according to his daughter, Trixie Garcia.
"I think it was a great fantasy of his to see what would happen," Trixie Garcia said. "But, here we were, 20 years later, just trying to find a way to get more Jerry to the people, to the community. The fans are so devoted. So, putting this whole thing together was great. Because how do you, without a living artist, get their music out there and share such wonderful things?"
Garcia's music, through the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration, will come to New Jersey for a performance on Saturday, Aug. 9 at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. The show features Grammy-winning singer and guitarist Warren Haynes. Known best for his work with the Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule, Haynes has also worked at great length with members of the Grateful Dead family over the years, including with outfits such as the Dead and Phil Lesh and Friends.
Over his career, Garcia touched on musical worlds from folk to reggae to jazz to progressive improvisational art music. Haynes, a performer with an eclectic blues-based sound of his own, discussed the process of showcasing Garcia's multitude of sounds in a symphonic setting.
"As someone who is influenced by a lot of different genres of music myself, it was an opportunity to explore that process of combining influences and genres together that he was so good at," Haynes said. "He, obviously, listened to a lot of different types of music, and you can hear in that music a lot of history. The influences didn't just go back 10 years or 20 years or 30 years, the influences ran very deep.
"And, I think that's a big part of why that music, and especially the particular songs that I chose, work so well with a symphony, because it portrays those songs in a different light, which gives the listener more of a sense of the historic validity of the compositions. That was my main mission with this project, to pick the right material that a symphony would elevate to another level."
In the hands of Haynes and the symphony, the laid-back country classic "Uncle John's Band" from the 1970 "Workingman's Dead" album has an undeniable Aaron Copland feel, while the funk-rock of the title track from 1978's "Shakedown Street" takes on the cinematic majesty of a long-lost blaxploitation film score.
"He had a vision for a sound, he had sound dreams or whatever that he wanted to realize," Garcia said of her father. "And hearing his music done by a full orchestra is pretty mind-blowing. And, as his child, I've learned a ton about what an amazing musician he was, and his contribution is important and is going to be around for a very long time. And these songs, being able to hear them in this environment does prove that he was a world-class composer, he really was."
Along with the symphony, Haynes is joined by a rhythm section of Jeff Sipe on drums and Lincoln Shleifer on bass, as well as background vocalists Alecia Chakour and Jasmine Muhammad. Haynes is playing one of Garcia's guitars, Wolf, for the Symphonic Celebration shows, which have been curated by the Garcia family.
These shows represent a change of pace for both the symphonic performers on stage and the Garcia fans in attendance, Haynes and Trixie Garcia said.
"A lot of symphonies used to really not enjoy playing pop music or rock music, I think they felt like it was not beneath them so to speak but just wasn't what they signed on to do," said Haynes. "And, in a lot of cases, the feeling existed that that music was a little pedestrian compared to the great classical music, and I would be the first to agree with that. I think in most cases, marrying a symphony to rock music or pop music is a bad idea. I think it's the exception rather than the rule, and I think it works with this music really well because of the depth of the compositions.
"I chose the songs in a way that would portray that, and I purposely didn't choose the songs that I felt like wouldn't work, because the Garcia catalog and the Dead catalog is very diverse. Somebody might disagree with me, but in my own mind, I don't need to hear a symphony playing 'Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad' or 'U.S. Blues,' but the songs that we chose work marvelously."
"I can't recall ever really going to a symphony that wasn't part of a bigger production," said Garcia. "And they have an infrastructure, this whole symphony thing is a traditional part of music culture and they're struggling. So, I think doing a lot of these pop shows and loosening up a bit, having more fun, I think it's good for everybody. Getting the hippies out to the symphony is good too, but getting a little rock 'n' roll into what we might think of as an uptight environment feels really good."

Knockout Roses
We live in the mountains close to Lake Tahoe. Knockouts grow well and thrive in most gardens. I planted 10 plants last summer, covered them with pine needles and mulch over the winter - they sprung right back in spring and were getting buds in early June. Then the rabbits came. I put up a fence (not chicken wire as it's so ugly - probably a big mistake). Got anti-rabbit stuff from Home Depot, used cayenne pepper - you name it. I have two big Siberian Samoyeds who love everyone and everything - they chase a rabbit but it isn't serious business for them. So now I'm taking the plants out - probably give them away. Sometimes we forget that we share all this natural beauty with other living things! Anyway, will probably put in salvia. Ugggg.

Bold Berry Red
"Rather than a barn red or historic red, this color is much brighter," says Krims. "That makes it more fun and upbeat than the olive option." Contrasting the red with a berry-based blue in the same depth of tone and trimming the house in a creamy yellow create a refreshingly updated look.

That looks like something straight out of Star Wars. It's a short leap from using this technology to rout "bad guys" to using it to see what's happening on your private property. And all of you who say, "but I'm not a bad guy, they won't come after me" wake up and smell the f*cking coffee we're quickly losing control over what the government is allowed to define as "bad."
Nope. But George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and a host of others sure did. No matter, I'll be dead in another 25-30 years and then it's somebody else's problem.
You know, the version of the future that I hate is the movie Demolition Man. "In the future all restaurants are Taco Bell." Aaarghh, help me. And I'm never using a weird shell like thing to wipe my butt--you'll have to pry the toilet paper out of my cold dead hands.
If you're talking about the pic that Dominic posted, that is a drone from Star Wars. The actual drone, pictured in the article, is significantly less impressive.
@5 oops! that's what I get for not following the link. I knew it looked like something from Star Wars!
While there may be private property issues, I'm all for using it to patrol the forests. The hell with pot growers, meth labs, etc. ruining the national forests. I say bust 'em all.

I'm looking for a tool to display data from performance monitor counters. I'm looking for something that would be visually appealing (look like a dashboard) and it should be able to aggregate (sum up) over multiple counters. No thresholds/alarming needed, we are using Nagios for that.
closed as off-topic by HopelessN00b Jan 25 '15 at 0:43
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I would look into Cacti for this. It is fairly customizable, with respect to exactly what you are graphing, and how the data should be interpreted. It should be capable of doing what you need.
Take a look at www.ascendview.com
I'll throw my vote in for Circonus (http://circonus.com/). You can do all of that, including derived values, stacked graphs and correlate virtually any metrics. And if you decide later on to move away from Nagios, it also allows you to set rules on your metrics for alerting.

Villanova steamrolls Marquette's NCAA Tournament hopes
Philadelphia — Down by 13 points only moments before, Marquette rallied within six of No. 8 Villanova with less than a minute left in the first half Sunday.
Then it seemed as if the Wells Fargo Arena roof fell on the Golden Eagles.
Jake Thomas went to the floor for a loose ball, tried to call time as he was sliding and was ruled out of bounds. Coach Buzz Williams was hit with a technical foul. The Wildcats scored the last five points of the half and the first six of the second.
The snowball effect played to Villanova's superiority in the 73-56 loss that left the Golden Eagles 17-12 overall and 9-7 in the Big East with two regular-season games and the conference tournament to play.
Given the fact that Marquette committed 15 turnovers and produced 17 points from its starters in one of its worst losses of the year, it wouldn't be accurate to characterize the technical as the downfall moment against the presumptive regular-season league champion.
But it was a moment.
"That would be fine if you want to write it that way," Williams said. "You can look at the pictures. I saw them at halftime. Jake clearly had possession of the ball and he was 2½ feet from the baseline.
"I wasn't trying to get a technical. I was calling a timeout with (official) Karl Hess. I have great respect for Karl and (official) Roger Ayers. The guy they substituted this morning (official Tony Chiazza) was the guy who said Jake was out of bounds.
"I was calling timeout with Karl and heading where Jake was at and I was on the floor, so in that regard it was a technical. But I wasn't doing it on purpose. I thought it was a timeout."
The technical deprived Marquette of a final first-half possession. After the Wildcats made both free throws, backup point guard Tony Chennault, in the game because starter Ryan Arcidiacono was on the bench in foul trouble, set up Darrun Hilliard for a three-pointer with 1.8 seconds left to make it a 36-25 game at the half.
"It was a big play," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "We were struggling and they were coming back. They were going to get the last shot of the half and we got the last shot. We don't have our starting point guard.
"But you can come back from that."
But not when your offense is as anemic as Marquette's was against the Wildcats (26-3, 14-2), who found themselves in first place Saturday after Xavier beat Creighton.
With a career-high 26 points, Hilliard outscored the five Marquette starters by nine.
"I give all the credit to them," Marquette forward Juan Anderson said. "They played harder than us. They had more energy from the jump. That's what beat us. They just outplayed us. They played harder than us.
"They wanted it more than we did. It was just a slap in the face to us. We base our program on playing harder than everybody else. When you get outplayed, what can you say?"
What about Williams' first technical of the season?
"It definitely turned, but you can't blame the game on one situation," Anderson said. "We shouldn't have been down by six points. They came out and went on a 6-0 run to start the second half. It's a combination of things. You can't pinpoint one thing.
"That would be kind of petty, giving yourself an excuse. You have to turn the tide at some point. That's our fault. I wouldn't ever blame it on Buzz. I wouldn't ever blame it on my teammates. As a whole, it's our fault, being down six, the tech and then them going on a 6-0 run to start the half. They simply outplayed us."
Villanova was clearly the better team, but that didn't make Williams feel any better about the way his team played.
"As I told our guys, they were playing for a league championship," Williams said. "So you have to play at a feverish pitch, not in regard to making heroic plays, but you have to play at a very high level from an intensity standpoint and we did not do that the entire game."
"The No. 1 disappointment is we didn't play as hard as you have to play on the road to beat a team as good as Villanova. I think at times we did, but from pillar to post we didn't."

Vancouver Coastal Health spokeswoman Anna Marie D'Angelo said Thursday that three stabbing victims had been admitted and an unidentified man was in critical condition with head injuries after a fall from a viaduct.
Rioting and looting left cars burned, stores in shambles and windows shattered over a roughly 10-block radius of the city's main shopping district.
Police Chief Jim Chu called those who incited the riot "criminals and anarchists" and said officers identified some in the crowd as the same people who smashed windows and caused trouble through the same streets the day after the 2010 Winter Olympics opened.
"These were people who came equipped with masks, goggles and gasoline," he said. "They had a plan."
Assistant Fire Chief Wade Pierlot said people had to be rescued from rooftops and bathrooms where they had hidden for safety.
"What I've seen is a complete disgrace," said Beth Hope, 28, who is originally from England but has lived in Vancouver for two years. "I'm a Canucks fan, but my jersey's in my bag. I'm ashamed to be a fan right now."

I'm using the Oxygen theme which I love so much. My issue is that I sometimes have no featured image to add to a post (for example, for some posts about math - http://www.yaronhadad.com/?cat=5) and it therefore displays a grey rectangle instead.
Is there a way to choose a default image for all posts from a certain category? Or instead just to remove the gray rectangles whenever no featured image is selected.
