Facebook (NASDAQ: FB ) reported its Q4 and 2012 results today. For the quarter, the company's revenue was $1.59 billion, and net income on a GAAP basis was $64 million ($0.03 per diluted share). Those figures were 40% higher and 8% lower, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. The top line exceeded analyst estimates of $1.51 billion, while earnings generally met the consensus.
For fiscal 2012, the company brought in $5.09 billion in revenue and netted a profit of $53 million ($0.01 diluted EPS). These represented a gain of 37% and a fall of 95%, respectively, over 2011's results. On a non-GAAP basis, Facebook's bottom line was $426 million ($0.17 diluted EPS) in Q4, and $1.32 billion ($0.53) for the full year.
Following the results announcement, Facebook shares shed about 10% of their value in heavy trading, but they have since recovered.

Pietrus did not suit up Sunday, making this five games in a row that he has missed, and it's unlikely that he'll be back any earlier than Friday in Memphis.
But less than 24 hours after captain Stephen Jackson said that he hoped his teammate "sucks it up and comes back and thinks about the team and fights through the injury for us" making it sound as though it were merely a matter of Pietrus' pain tolerance the Warriors made the highly unusual step, for them, of releasing oodles of data regarding the injury.
According to the club, Pietrus was examined Sunday by team physician John Belzer, and while the groin is progressing nicely, the hamstring "still has inadequate flexibility or strength to begin running" and that to do so at this time, "he increases the risk of re-injuring himself."
Pietrus will travel on the Warriors' upcoming four-game road trip but is considered doubtful for Golden State's games in San Antonio on Tuesday and Dallas on Wednesday.
"Well, we've done a good job of playing through injuries all year," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "There's some of them that you just can't play through, and the groin is a tough one, and that's an individual thing. I have no complaints about that. If somebody's injured, they're injured.
The Warriors did receive some good news Sunday on the injury front: X-rays taken of forward Al Harrington's right thumb which got banged against the rim Saturday as Harrington blocked a shot from Denver's Kenyon Martin were negative, and Harrington played with his thumb heavily bandaged.
Nevertheless, the Warriors still went only seven deep for the most part, and rookie forward Brandan Wright despite Nelson claiming he would be a good matchup against the Mavericks was nowhere to be found.
Wouldn't it have been better, Nelson was asked, if you had brought Wright along over the course of the season so that he could contribute now? "The organization, the team and me all wanted to make the playoffs," Nelson said. "And to do that, to be where we are today, we had to do it the way we did it."

Where I stayed
The first time I saw Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) was on our way to a conference dinner over in East Berlin. We drove by it. It was all lit up, and quite pretty. Over the next couple of days in Berlin, I got to see a couple more times, this time walking by it and under it.
I learned about it while taking a walking tour of Berlin, most of which was on the East Berlin side. Although it was built as a "Gate of Peace" in the 1700's, it became a symbol of the Cold War, as a part of the Berlin Wall.

By Wendy Brown (USAG Wiesbaden)April 10, 2013
WIESBADEN, Germany - Venturing out alone with 4-month-old twins is not easy, but new mom Jennifer Tobash considered the Army Community Service Rock-a-Bye Baby Fair a can't-miss event.
"It's great the community does this for us, because as a busy mom, I don't have time to go to all these different places one at a time," Tobash said.
The event included nearly 20 information tables from parenting resources such as the New Parent Support Program, Mothers of Preschoolers and Early Developmental Intervention Services. In all, about 100 people attended the event.
"I think it's great because it gets us out of the house and it gives us resources we wouldn't otherwise have," said Kate Cosens, who attended with her 8-month-old son Jaemes and her friend Brittany Anderson and her 4-month-old daughter Evalynn.
The fair also included speakers. Nikki Williams gave a presentation on baby wearing; Dr. Michelle Melicosta, a pediatrician at the Wiesbaden Health Clinic, talked about common baby health questions; and Cynthia Alvarado, Andrews Federal Credit Union regional manager, explained how parents can budget for a baby.
Spc. Tiffany Johnson, who brought her 2-month-old son Brandon, said she found Williams' talk about baby wearing interesting and will look into it further.
"I think it's amazing because in the civilian world people don't pull together for events like this. You'll only find it in the military," Johnson said.
Carly Glass, who borrowed a baby sling from Williams to test it out with her 2-week-old son Braxton, said she did not know about baby slings before the event and found the sling to be comfortable. "It relieves the pressure on my back," she said.
Glass said she also found Melicosta's talk about baby health issues informative. "I'm glad to know what's normal and what's not," she said.
Michelle Stosich, Family Advocacy Program manager for Wiesbaden Army Community Service, said this was the fifth year in a row ACS has hosted the event. One of ACS's highly recommended services is the Family Advocacy New Parent Support Program, which includes home visits for families.
Staff members include a professional social worker and a nurse, who can make home visits and help answer questions and alleviate the concerns of new parents, Stosich said.
Michael Farmer was one of several men to don an Empathy Belly during the event. Farmer said he has no children, but will definitely be more empathetic toward his wife when he does.
"My back really hurts," Farmer said. "I know I'd really have to help out with lifting."
To contact the Family Advocacy Program's New Parent Support Program, call ACS at (0611) 4080-254, or contact the staff directly at mil 335-5330/5331 or civ (0611) 4080-330/0331. NPSP is for expecting families or those with a child in the home less than 4 years of age.

Election bills penalize voters, increase partisan gridlock
Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) is again asking her colleagues in the Legislature to co-sponsor eight election bills she introduced last April. The bills range from some that are already addressed in existing law to others that threaten our fair elections in Wisconsin.
The very tone of the co-sponsorship memo for one these proposals spell trouble for voters. This proposal is called "giving teeth to poll book signatures." That graphic terminology may sound reasonable to some, given that current law requires electors to sign the poll book before receiving a ballot. But if this legislation is enacted, it could be your ballot that is eaten away, even if you signed the poll book.
Under this proposal, if a busy poll worker forgets to require another voter to sign, your ballot could be "drawn down" in the case of a recount. That is because we have secret ballots, and there is no way election officials can know which ballot belongs to the person who did not sign. They have to remove a ballot at random, and the odds are huge that it will belong to a voter who did sign.
Another proposal would allow parties, in the case of a recount, to challenge the ballots of voters who registered at their polling place on election day. The fact is, our state has same-day registration. If you register to vote at your polling place, you have to provide identification and proof of residence. Then you are a registered voter, and you may cast a regular ballot.
This proposal incorrectly treats same-day registrations as provisional. And again, in the case of a discrepancy, how can election officials know which ballots to remove? They have to do a random draw-down of ballots, a process which should be avoided wherever possible.
A third proposal promises "greater choice" in candidates for the Government Accountability Board, the nonpartisan board of former judges that oversees elections in our state. Greater choice sounds like a positive reform, but this proposal would upset the delicate system of checks and balances, unique in the United States, which keeps the GAB independent of partisan interests.
This system, set up in 2007 with strong bipartisan support, provides for a limited number of candidates to be selected by a panel of Appeals Court judges for vacant seats on the board. The governor then nominates one candidate per seat, and that nominee must be confirmed by the state Senate. By doubling the nominations sent to the governor, this proposal doubles the opportunity for the governor — current or future — to make politically motivated appointments.
These proposals threaten to penalize Wisconsin voters and burden election administration with partisan gridlock. They should be rejected. If lawmakers want to improve elections, they should leave the GAB alone and invest in better training and resources for the local election officials who work tirelessly to administer clean elections in our state.
Andrea Kaminski is executive director of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin Education Network, a nonpartisan organization that advocates for informed and active participation in government. There are 17 local Leagues in Wisconsin.

Elma seniors Ray Stark and Tyson Nauman saved their best performances when it counted most at the state 1A track & field championship meet in Cheney.
Stark put down his best races of his season on Saturday and walked away with two individual titles — good enough to claim the top points scorer in the state 1A boys meet with 21.25 points.
In the 100-meter, Stark's takeoff was more than enough to leave the field fighting for second place as he reset the 15-year-old meet record at 10.86 seconds. Matt Isbell of Bellevue Christian set the old record in 1999 at 10.88.
Stark made it a double with a "nearly perfect" run in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles for the win by 2.5 seconds at 37.90.
"He was so far out in front in the hurdles, when he came around the grandstands, you started to wonder where the rest of the field was," Elma assistant coach Bryan Schneider said. "It was almost the perfect race. He really came on in the last month. In practice, he would put his foot down and it was like someone hit the fast forward button on the VCR. He picked it up at the right time."
Schneider cited his seniors — Stark, Rashad Lorton, Chance Bremer and Nauman — who made up Elma's fourth-place 4x400-meter relay team for their work and dedication for the season.
Nauman won the Eagles' first state event title on Friday in the triple jump. The senior made his final jump count, accounting for a tail wind that blew a few competitors too far over the line for fouls leading up to the last jumps.
Sitting in fourth place, Nauman hit a two-foot personal best to land at 45 feet, 3 inches for the lead. The next jumper, Port Townsend's Skylar Coppenrath, hit a big jump right after Nauman and it was initially announced at 45-6. After a few minutes of deliberation, the mark was changed to 44-6, good for third place.
"That was nervous," Elma head coach Bryan Schneider said. "There were some wind gusts and Tyson scratched twice in the finals. So, we backed him up and he went for it. It was a great jump."

The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines diagnosis as "the process of identifying the disease by consideration of the history, symptoms, physical signs and examination in every way of the patient." All these factors are important and essential in making a correct diagnosis. In otolaryngology perhaps more reliance is placed on physical signs that are visual than in most other fields of medicine. In the majority of instances the final interpretation of the clinical picture depends on what is seen in the ear, nose, pharynx or larynx. The habit of wearing the head-mirror throughout working hours, so commonplace among otolaryngologists, is an unconscious acknowledgment of the importance of visual examination in this field.
In 1931, in a paper read before this section, I1 tried to bring out the importance of visual control by direct inspection in performing an adenoidectomy. In a large series of cases in which operations had been previously performed

In this movie, I'll demonstrate another new filter called Adaptive Wide Angle that's designed to take the distortion out of fisheye and other wide-angle photographs. Now, it works best if the image contains lens data, but that's not absolutely essential and I'll show examples of both kinds of images. This image does contain lens data. Now, happily Adaptive Wide Angle is applicable to Smart Objects. So I'm going to go ahead and convert this background to a Smart Object and I'll rename it something along the lines of city hall and then I'll go up to the Filter menu and choose Adaptive Wide Angle.
And because we're applying it to a smart object, we won't harm the original and we can edit our settings any time we like. Now, when you first enter the filter, your image may look more distorted than ever, and that's because I have Correction set to Auto. I could set it to Fisheye, so that Photoshop and I are on the same page and that does apply some pincushioning, but it's not the look I'm going for. We still have some distortion, as you can see. So I'm going to leave things set to Auto, which is a good place to start and then I'm going to take advantage of this Constraint tool which is selected by default.
I'll go ahead and drag along this top detail here, and notice that Photoshop is automatically bending the line to match. It's not because it can see the detail; rather, it's going off that lens data. All right, and I'll draw another line right about there perhaps. And so that's one way to work. Another thing you can do is press the Shift key as you drag. Notice I'm dragging along the steps down here near the base of the image and that will make those steps either exactly vertical or horizontal, whichever is closer of course. Now as soon as I release in this case, I'm going to lose that line because it's going beyond the base of the cropped image.
If ever you need to gain access to a line that disappears, you can take advantage of this Move tool, which allows you to move the image inside the canvas. But if you do that, you're going to have to move the image back at some point, so just take care. Anyway, I'm going to Shift+Drag along this edge as well. And if you decide that a line you've already drawn ought to be exactly horizontal or vertical, you can click on it to select it, then right-click and choose either Horizontal or Vertical. In my case, of course I'm going to choose Horizontal for both of these. All right, now I'm going to go ahead and drag down these columns. Now you might think you should stick with details that you recognize.
For example, I'm not really sure where I should go down here, so I'll just drag along the detail I can recognize. However, what ends up happening is that that straightens out the column, but it leaves both the top of the column and the base of the column at an angle. So, we want to go ahead and extend this line all the way down as well as all the way to the top of the column, and I just need to make sure that I'm tracing along this edge here. All right! I'll do the same for this column right there, paying careful attention that I'm tracing along the crease of the column. Now, notice that we have this big circle with small handles at either side.
What that allows you to do is move the angle of the straightened item. So in other words, right now this column goes down and to the right. If I wanted to adjust it over to the left a little more so that its angle will be say 88.4 degrees, which I can see in that heads-up display, then I would just drag over to the left a little bit like so. Now, I'll try to straighten out that column to a different direction. Notice that we get a green line telling us that we have a so-called arbitrary constraint. Now if you don't want that, if you want Photoshop to figure things out on its own, then you right-click on that line and choose Unfixed in order to send it back to a cyan line like so. All right, now I'm going to drag down this light pole and I'll drag down this column as well.
Another way to work, by the way, you don't have to drag. You can click at one point and then click at another to complete the line, and I'll go ahead and do that in both of these cases here. All right, that looks okay to me, so I'll go ahead and click OK to straighten that image. Now, if you notice that there are still details that aren't exactly straight, that still have a little bend associated with them because we assigned this filter as a Smart Filter, you can just double-click on it here inside the Layers panel in order to bring back all of your constraints. And at this point what I'm going to do is take advantage of the Polygon Constraint tool, which works a little differently.
What you can do with it is you click to set points in a polygon and most likely you're going to create something resembling a rectangle, but you can create other shapes as well if you find you need them. All right, I'm going to go ahead and straighten out that guy and I'll create another rectangular shape to straighten out this space here. And that looks pretty good to me, so I'll click OK in order to update my image. And just to give you a sense for the difference this has made, I'll go ahead and turn the Smart Filters off, so that you can see before, not only do we have a bend in the image, but you can see that it was kind of a wave bend at the top here. And now, thanks to Adaptive Wide Angle, it's completely straightened out. All right! Now, let's take a look at this stock image here that doesn't contain any lens data at all.
How do you work with it? Well, start off the same way. Let's go ahead and convert this image to a Smart Object, rename it cyclist, and then I'll go up to the Filter menu, choose Adaptive Wide Angle. And notice that Photoshop has by default determined that this is a fisheye image, which is fine, but it's going with the last Focal Length data it saw, which was 24 millimeters, which was true for the previous image but isn't for this one. Now, I don't have a lot of architectural details to work with inside this image. Really, I have the horizon and that's it. So using my Constraint tool, I'm going to click on one side of the horizon and I'll go to the other side and notice this time, Photoshop is not bending the line at all.
It has no idea what to do with this image because it doesn't know the focal length. So anyway, I'll go ahead and click on the other side of the horizon in order to establish a baseline. Notice this time, we have a square right there in the middle. This handle allows me to bend the line downward and then as soon as I release, Photoshop goes ahead and straightens the image and tells me I guess we have a focal length of about 14.4 millimeters. Now, I might try taking that up a little bit because we still have a little bit of bend and that's too far, so why don't we try maybe 14.5 and press the Tab key.
The reason I'm doing this is because we have a little bend associated with the water right there. That's pretty difficult to get rid of inside of this image. Anyway, I don't think I want to go any go any farther over. I might try it and see what happens. Yeah, that kind of makes a bigger mess of things. I think I'll take it to about there instead. All right! Having done that, I'll go ahead and click OK because there's nothing else to trace inside this image. You can try tracing her, I suppose, like so and then trying to figure out how she should unbend, but you might run into problems.
For example, in this case, the filter is saying that it can't reconcile the information you've given it. So, I'll just click OK, and in fact I'm going to get rid of that constraint by pressing the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and clicking on it. All right! Now, I'll click OK in order to accept what I've done and that is the straightened image. Now, on further reflection I see that things are not quite exactly right over here on the left hand side. All of a sudden, the ocean goes up a little bit. So I'll double-click on the filter here in Layers panel to bring it up again and I'll go ahead and take that line over to the left hand side of the image. And I might go ahead and take it over to the right hand side too, so that we can straighten things out as much as possible, and actually this looks pretty good. All right! Now I'll click OK in order to accept the modification and at this point I'd go ahead and crop the image using the new Crop tool, which works beautifully with Adaptive Wide Angle here inside Photoshop CS6.

I have long hair so that means I frequently have to clean out the shower and bathroom sink drains. Otherwise I end up standing in a pool of water or brushing my teeth over a bowl full of standing water. As luck would have it, I ended up having to clean both drains within the last week.
I could use a caustic liquid or solid drain cleaner such as Drano Crystals or Liquid Plumr and pour these chemicals down my drain:
- Sodium hypochlorite – A chemical compound with the formula NaClO. Sodium hypochlorite solution, commonly known as bleach, is frequently used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent.
- Sodium hydroxide – A strongly alkaline compound, NaOH, used in the manufacture of chemicals and soaps and in petroleum refining. Also called caustic soda or lye.
- Sodium silicate – A white solid that is readily soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. Can be dissolved in water to form a syrupy liquid.
According to the Material Safety Data Sheets on The Clorox Company's website for both Drano Crystals and Professional Stength Liquid Plumr Clog Remover, the ingredients are corrosive to the eyes. Injures eyes, skin and mucous membranes on contact. Harmful if swallowed; nausea, vomiting, and burning sensation of the mouth and throat may occur. No adverse health effects are expected with recommended use. Especially if I don't use them.
Or I could opt for an acid drain cleaner containing sulfuric acid and risk a chemical burn or damage to our plumbing. Acid chemical cleaners should be used as a last result and by a professional. Although available to the general public, there is decades-long debate about whether or not they should be. The recent death of a 22 month old toddler from drinking sulfuric acid drain cleaner should be enough to convince you that this chemical should not be in your house. It's certainly not in mine.
Enzymatic biological drain cleaners, such as Earth Friendly Products' Enzyme Drain Cleaner or Bi-O-Kleen's BacOut are primarily for routine maintenance rather than clearing a completely clogged drain. Enzymatic drain cleaners react with organic material. They are non corrosive and contain bacterial cultures which break down fats and greasy deposits in the drainage system. These types of drain cleaners were originally used in septic tanks before their wider use as an effective and less environmentally damaging way of drain clearance or prevention from blockages. This might work (but maybe not for hair) and then again I don't want to spend money unnecessarily.
My drain cleaner of choice is either a plunger for totally clogged drains (please consider having one specifically for toilets, the other only for sinks) or baking soda and vinegar for drains that are slow.
Since baking soda and vinegar isn't going to dissolve a clump of hair, the first step is to clean the drain. For the bathroom sink, I first remove the drain stopper by disconnecting the pivot rod that sits behind the drain tail pipe under the sink. It usually comes out with a hank of hair and disgusting gunk clinging to it. Once I clean that off (with rubber gloves, of course!), I also remove the J-Trap, letting it drain into a bucket and then clean that out as well. I don't remove the bucket until I put the J-Trap and pivot rod back together and test the connection by running water through the drain.
The shower stall drain is easier yet. Remove the drain cover by loosening the screw in the center or placing the flat end of a screwdriver under the edge of the drain cover and popping it off. There is my lovely long hair dangling from the drain cover loaded with soap and gunk. Once the drain cover is clean off, I scrape out any hair and gunk from the pipe itself.
Once the hair is removed, I pour 1/4 cup baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup white vinegar. After the foaming reaction subsides, I follow it up by pouring boiling water slowly down the drain.

Definition of inspissate in English:
verb[with object] (usually as adjective inspissated)
Thicken or congeal: inspissated secretions
More example sentences
- Secretions become viscous and inspissated (ie, glutinous and thickened by evaporation or absorption), and calcium carbonate precipitates, which results in ductal stone formation.
- At autopsy, the airways are often devoid of inspissated secretions and contain more neutrophils and eosinophils in the submucosa.
- In these studies, 'mucous balls,' an accumulation of inspissated mucus that adheres to the catheter tip, caused infrequent, but serious, complications.
- Example sentences
- Concentrations of streptomycin (before inspissation) in the test medium for the test strain were 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 g/ml, while for H37Rv concentrations were 2, 4, 8, and 16 g/ml.
- For pyrazinamide, the medium was acidified by adding IN HCl to the medium before inspissation until the pH was 4.850.05.
- The impermeable, invisible barrier seeps between people, flowing between them so gradually that they do not notice until its inspissation is undeniable and no community is possible between them.
Early 17th century: from late Latin inspissat- 'made thick', from the verb inspissare (based on Latin spissus 'thick, dense').

A Little History
By the time he graduated from Fort Lauderdale's Central Catholic High School (now St. Thomas Aquinas High) in 1961, Brian Piccolo had distinguished himself in both baseball and football, which he also later played at Wake Forest University. (The Piccolo family moved to Fort Lauderdale when Brian was 12.) It was in football that he made his mark, however, going on to play for the Chicago Bears for four seasons before dying of cancer at age 26 in 1970. His story inspired the acclaimed 1971 made-for-TV movie Brian's Song, with James Caan as Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as his friend Gale Sayers. Among Piccolo's legacies is this Cooper City-based park, which opened in 1989, added a velodrome in 1992, and opened a skate park in 1999.

City manager Tony Ramos said the addition of the Claremont Police officer position would increase the department's sworn staffing number to 37.
Council officials adopted its budget, with totals of more than $34,032,000 in 2012-13 and $34,431,000 in 2013-14, at a budget workshop meeting that continued into a formal city council council meeting.
Formal adoption of the budget will take place at the June 26 council meeting.
Mayor Larry Schroeder praised the budget passage.
"I'm so happy to have a balanced budget," Schroeder said. "Not only because it's balanced but it recommends the addition of another police officer. It couldn't be better."
Councilman Corey Calaycay, before the vote, introduced a motion where the the 2013 fiscal year budget would not use an anticipated cost of living adjustment.
Councilman Opanyi Nasiali seconded the motion for discussion but Calaycay withdrew his motion after a detailed council discussion and Ramos saying he would bring back an analysis on how assumptions for the adjustment are determined to a future workshop.

Bitcoin, a controversial digital currency that is being widely adopted in many parts of the world, is not likely to make too much of a splash in Costa Rica. This is a sad fact of reality since the peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin will probably appeal to many Ticos who do not trust in their Central Bank's ability to balance the value of the national currency against inflation and pressure from other currencies such as the United States dollar (USD).
Although Bitcoin itself is a matter of complex digital cryptology, the use of this currency is greatly simplified by the use of online applications and service providers. Ticos are far from being Luddites; they enjoy technology, and in this regard Costa Rica would actually welcome an alternative to the colon and the USD. The problem with Bitcoin in Costa Rica and its potential spread is that the currency is getting a bad reputation at the time.
Pressure from the United States
The abrupt takedown of Liberty Reserve, a money transmitter business that used its own digital currency, does not bode well for Bitcoin in Costa Rica. Liberty Reserve, which once had its headquarters in the Forum II corporate park in Lindora -not far from Wal-Mart, has been labeled as a PayPal for crooks by U.S. authorities. The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan alleges that Liberty Reserve was a global money laundering system that got away with legitimizing $6 billion in ill-gotten gains over the last few years.
The U.S. Attorney claims that the most wretched criminals made use of Liberty Reserve, including drug peddlers, Ponzi scammers, credit card thieves, child pornographers, hackers, and other assorted scoria. These unpleasant characters allegedly enjoyed the anonymous comfort that the LR digital currency provided in order to ply their wicked trade. This is a problem for Bitcoin, since apparent anonymity is at the heart of the so-called "crytpo-currency."
Total anonymity is a misconception of Bitcoin. In fact, one of the security features of Bitcoin is that it is fully traceable, which means that investigators can actually follow a transaction and find out the parties involved by looking up permanent online records. In the wake of the Liberty Reserve bust, a Forbes contributor wondered if Bitcoin was in the sights of U.S. authorities as well. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is also clamping down.
Liberty Reserve is not the only business accused of money laundering by the U.S. The Department of State recently published a damning report that declares the online gambling industry in Costa Rica is also to blame for laundering millions of dollars each year. This statement is probably ominous for an American citizen such as Josh Strike and his online casino Strike Sapphire, which operates in Bitcoin and it is based right here in Costa Rica. According to Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Mr. Strike blocks his own countrymen from playing at Strike Sapphire; he does not want them to get in trouble since online gambling is illegal in the U.S.
Zombie Mining Networks
Computer users in Costa Rica could be helping unscrupulous Bitcoin miners to get rich at their expense without even being aware of it. The complexity of Bitcoin's digital structure rewards computer operators who put their processing power and resources to work towards strengthening the security of block chains, the digital transaction strings that tell the history of all Bitcoins since their inception. High-tech fraudsters have already figured out a way to minimize their contributions to the Bitcoin network by letting others do the mining work for them.
Recent reports by computer security experts have uncovered the international spread of malware designed to allow a zombie Bitcoin mining network to use up resources of infected computers. This Trojan horse-style of attack, which originates with a Skype diversion, has infected many computers across the world -particularly in Costa Rica. Such news reports will only contribute to apprehension among Ticos towards the use of Bitcoin.
Glimmers of Hope
It is unfortunate that a promising technology such as Bitcoin might not spread in Costa Rica due to external pressures such as the ones listed above. There are, however, a couple of positive signs worth mentioning:
- Smart Ticos such as software engineer David Alfaro are willing to develop Bitcoin solutions in Costa Rica. To get an idea of the technology-friendly philosophy that Mr. Alfaro subscribes to, read this excerpt from his About Page:
¨Bitcoin represents a financial system that only works only if it is executed in a total free market. As a laissez-faire capitalist, I belong to the Austrian School, and by extension I am a supporter of the Gold Standard. That's why I am so in love with Bitcoin – it is a platform that enables human development, wealth and well-being.¨
- Despite interference from the U.S. and malware, Bitcoin use is slowly growing in Costa Rica. A quick search on LocalBitcoins.com reveals that five Bitcoin users located in Costa Rica were ready to acquire or sell currency online on a recent Sunday afternoon. Two others were prepared to negotiate Bitcoin in person and in cash, up to $5,000, in San Jose and San Pedro. As of the publishing of this article the Bitcoin currency exchange rate fluctuated around $72

Notts Outlaws guaranteed a home quarter-final in the Friends Life t20 by virtue of a 60-run win over Lancashire Lightning in their final group match at Trent Bridge.
Alex Hales scored 82 as the home side reached 194 for six having been invited to bat.
The opener cleared the ropes on six occasions and also hit three fours in his 52-ball innings but was visibly distraught when a Tom Smith direct hit from deep midwicket ran him out with five overs remaining.
Still without a t20 century on his personal CV, having made an England-record 99 against West Indies last June, it was obvious from Hales' reaction that he knew a golden opportunity had slipped away.
A 35-minute stoppage disrupted the Lancashire reply after 11.2 overs yet, at that stage, they were already struggling at 87 for six, with Graeme White claiming four of the wickets to fall.
It took Notts just a little more than five overs to finish off the visitors' innings after the restart, eventually bowling them out for only 134 with 19 deliveries unused.
Glen Chapple was the eighth man out, chopping on to his own stumps to give White figures of 5-22, the finest by any Nottinghamshire bowler in t20 cricket. His average of 9.35, meanwhile, is the best in this year's competition.
Harry Gurney then blasted his way through Arron Lilley's defences before Samit Patel ended the contest by having Ashwell Prince caught in the deep by a sliding Steven Mullaney.
Michael Lumb had been quickly out of the blocks at the start of the afternoon, striking three maximums in a 15-ball 30 and helping Hales put on 59 for the Outlaws' first wicket in the process.
Although the innings lost some of its momentum after Hales' departure, the final total was imposing, especially when Stephen Moore chipped the first ball of the reply straight back to Patel.
Tom Smith made 22 and Steven Croft 23 but both were among White's victims as Lancashire's middle order struggled badly against the spinner.
Both counties must now wait for Wednesday's quarter-final draw, with Notts having finished top of the group and second-placed Lancashire left contemplating an away trip in the last eight.

As a child, I was addicted to television. Mine was the first generation raised on TV, and I remember learning when to run home to see my favorite program by the position of the sun in the sky. But eventually world events, school, music, sports, and friends became far more interesting than the flickering tube. Even as a teenager I could see the importance of books as a way to explore the world, compared to the vast wasteland of commercial television. (Groucho

|Proposal for a standardized test artifact for additive manufacturing machines and processes
|August 15, 2012
|Historically, standardized test parts are used to quantitatively evaluate the performance of a machine or process. While several different additive manufacturing (AM) test parts have been developed in the past, there are no current standard test parts. We review existing AM test parts, discuss the purposes of the studies, and describe important features and characteristics found in these test parts. We then propose a new test part, intended for standardization, incorporating the most useful features seen in previous test parts, with features designed to highlight process capabilities and test machine accuracy. We also discuss lessons learned in manufacturing prototype test parts by three-dimensional printing and direct metal laser sintering.

Today, September 15, 2012 marks the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. As I have been remembering today, the suffering of Mary as she stood at the foot of the Cross and witnessed the torture and death of her Son, I've been taken back to a point in my life when I was inconsolable.
March 2008. Shocked by the cold air that pierces my chest like a sword, I stagger away from the bar as fast as I can move my bulky frame. The moon is high in the sky now – blindly I stumble towards it across highway 101. The sound of an air horn blasts into my consciousness. Danger! I see nothing as I am knocked out of the street and to the sidewalk by the sharp blast of air – the wake of an eighteen wheel truck that has barreled by, just missing me. My upper right arm is smarting; there is gash in my shirt left by a loose cord that flailed off the trailer – an afterthought lashing out – renting my clothing and leaving a faint mark so that I will be reminded that I have been saved.
On my hands and knees. On all fours. Crying on the sidewalk. Pebbles are ground into my hands and knees. I am drunk, but my thoughts are clear and excruciating. I look up at the moon, waxing over the bay, highlighting the churning waves in the "jaws of death" at the end of the spit where the Siletz River meets the great Pacific Ocean. I pray. It's not a prayer of thanksgiving for deliverance. Not a prayer for salvation, at all. It is a prayer of deep and painful regret that I am still here on this earth. It is a cry out for release from this horrible world. I pound the cement in anger and frustration while I berate God, the bastard who stole my only child from me.
In late 2008 I found myself up at the Grotto in Portland. The real name is The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother. I don't know how or why I was drawn there.
What I do know is that when I started hanging out in that place — walking the Via Matris and meditating on each of the sorrows our Blessed Mother Mary endured — I started to heal.
My first tattoo, burned into my chest late in 2009 is the memorial that marks Bo's time on this earth. The image is a very old symbol that depicts the seven sorrows of Mary — each a sword plunged into Her immaculate heart.
My heart is not immaculate like Mary's, but did connect with Mary's suffering — and the act of grieving for Mary at each of the stations that depict her suffering and asking for her compassion and help has brought me closer to our God —
Here are the prayers taken from the back of a card that was given to me by a woman I met on that path the very first time I found myself up there.
I pray today in honor of Her Feast.
1. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, in the affliction of thy tender heart at the prophecy of the holy and aged Simeon. Dear Mother, by thy heart so afflicted, obtain for me the virtue of humility and the Gift of the holy Fear of God.
2. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, in the anguish of thy most affectionate heart during the flight into Egypt and thy sojourn there. Dear Mother, by thy heart so full of anguish, obtain for me the virtue of generosity, especially toward the poor, and the Gift of Piety.
3. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, in those anxieties which tried thy troubled heart at the loss of thy dear Jesus in the Temple. Dear Mother, by thy heart so full of anguish, obtain for me the virtue of chastity and the Gift of Knowledge.
4. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, in the consternation of thy heart at meeting Jesus as He carried His Cross. Dear Mother, by thy heart so troubled, obtain for me the virtue of patience and the Gift of Fortitude.
5. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, in the martyrdom which thy generous heart endured in standing near Jesus in His agony on the Cross. Dear Mother, by thy afflicted heart, obtain for me the virtue of temperance and the Gift of Counsel.
6. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, in the wounding of thy compassionate heart, when the side of Jesus was pierced by a lance before His Body was removed from the Cross. Dear Mother, by thy heart thus transfixed, obtain for me the virtue of fraternal charity and the Gift of Understanding.
7. I grieve for thee, O Mary most sorrowful, for the pangs that wrenched thy most loving heart at the burial of Jesus. Dear Mother, by thy heart sunk in the bitterness of desolation, obtain for me the virtue of diligence and the Gift of Wisdom.
Virgin most sorrowful, pray for us.

Oracle Lays Off Accessibility Leader
The leader of the Gnome accessibility team, Will Walker, has until now worked for the Accessibility Program Office from Sun, which after the Oracle take-over melted into the relevant APO at Oracle.
As Walker writes on the Orca mailing list, from now on he will be working on the Gnome project's accessibility ambitions and on Orca in his spare time only, and depending on his new job, might have to give up the work completely. In an open letter to Oracle, Joanmarie Diggs, who works on the screen reader Orca from the Accessibility Program Office, has expressed her concern about the future of the Gnome A11y team.
"I truly hope this was an oversight on Oracle's part, and one that will be rectified very soon. Because if it is not, and if no other company steps forward to continue this work, the accessibility of the Gnome desktop will become the open source equivalent of an unfunded mandate, doomed ultimately to fail. Oracle's decision threatens to leave many individuals with disabilities around the world without access to a modern desktop environment. I find that tragic."

|College Credit for High School Courses
|Students who have completed articulated courses in high school may receive college credit at San Joaquin Delta College. The College is committed to comprehensive articulation of instructional programs with both secondary and postsecondary educational institutions, usually referred to as "2 + 2 + 2" articulation. The "2 + 2" articulation links the high school program, adult school and ROP with San Joaquin Delta Community College programs. These articulated programs lead to an Associate Degree. The "2 + 2 + 2" articulation adds a four-year college or university program leading to a Baccalaureate Degree where appropriate.
The articulation process is a system designed to help students to advance from one course, program, or educational level to the next without unnecessary repetition of essentially similar courses for which credit has been received.
If you have taken any of the courses on the List of Articulated Courses, you may wish to exercise your right to obtain college credit by completing ALL of the the following criteria (Effective 05/13/08):
If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions Office at (209) 954-5151, or the College Articulation Officer at (209) 954-5248.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
In 2006 the National Cancer Institute (NCI) established the 5-year Clinical Proteomics Technology Assessment for Cancer (CPTAC) program which aims to assess and improve measurement quality in clinical proteomics for cancer biomarker discovery and verification. NIST has been collaborating with the CPTAC program (including NCI as well as the 5 academic centers funded through CPTAC) in proteomic interlaboratory studies. Through these interlaboratory studies, NIST is identifying the major sources of variability in qualitative and quantitative proteomics. With these sources identified, NIST has developed computational tools to evaluate proteomic instrument performance and is also developing reference materials that can be used in concert with computational tools. Through this effort, NIST will deliver to the proteomics community methods and materials that can be used to evaluate measurement performance and proteomic data quality. The impact of this will be high quality, more confident proteomic data yielding, for clinical proteomics, more candidate biomarkers for clinical validation.
Additional Technical Details:
Participation in the CPTAC program and evaluation of the data from CPTAC interlaboratory studies has lead to the development at NIST of both proteomic data quality assessment tools and proteomic reference materials. The data assessment tools are based on the identification of more than 40 chromatographic and mass spectrometric instrument performance metrics. These metrics and their corresponding data tools are being used in the design of a certified reference material for "shotgun" proteomics.

2005 Business Abstracts
2005 Research Fair Archive - Business Abstracts
Employee Motivation in the Workplace
Employee motivation has always been a central problem for leaders and managers. Unmotivated employees are likely to spend little or no effort in their jobs, avoid the workplace as much as possible, and produce low quality work. The goal of the current project was to assess specific strategies that Managers use to motivate employees, as well as to assess the effectiveness of these strategies. Questionnaires were given to different business owners, executive managers and surveys to employees from different organizations in the city to test my hypotheses. Results indicate that the employers surveyed attempted several different incentive programs to motivate their employees, yet those programs have not worked for everyone in the company. This study, though constrained by small sample size, it shows a marked difference between employees and managers as to what constitutes successful motivation. The purpose of collecting this data was to help companies improve their operations.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team opened the season in a big way, taking a 9-1 win in six innings against Loyola Chicago in the opening game of the Best Western Marina Grand Invitational at Chapman Field.
The Islanders are now 1-0 on the year after picking up where they left off last year, getting a grand slam from Kacie Smith and a two-run shot by Brittany Tucker to power their way to a run-rule victory. Newcomer Jordan Trujillo pitched a complete game, giving up just one run on four hits while striking out four and walking one.
"I don't know if you can have a better first game of the year," said head coach Jake Schumann. "You come off of a good season offensively and spread 11 hits around the field and didn't make any errors.
"I don't know if you can get a better outcome."
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi scored in the first inning as Hannah Schwarz led off with a walk and moved to second on a stolen base. Sandy Schumann drove in the first run of the season on an RBI-double to score Schwarz and put her team up 1-0, but left three on base to end the inning.
"We had a couple of opportunities early to jump on them," said Schumann. "We brought seven or eight to the plate in the first inning and only scored one run.
"They did a good job pitching and we did a good job putting the ball in play so that's a little frustrating."
The Islanders were able to bring the runners home in the third inning when they added a pair of runs after a Lauren Dodson single to center field was followed by a Tucker homer to straight-away center to make it 3-0 over LUC.
The Ramblers answered with their only run of the game in the top of the fourth when Lauren Arceneaux walked and came around to score on a double by Lauren Moore to make it 3-1.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi answered with four more runs in the bottom half of the inning when Meagan McKinney walked and stole second followed by a Lauren Sanders single to put runners at the corners. Schwarz sacrificed Sanders over to second ahead of a Schumann walk that loaded the bases. That brought Smith to the plate and saw her hit a 0-2 pitch down the left-field line for a grand slam to make it 7-1 in favor of the Islanders.
In the sixth inning, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi was able to end the game when Schumann and Smith hit back-to-back singles to put runners at first and second. Dodson followed with a double to the right-center field wall that scored both runners and put the final score at 9-1 due to the run rule.
Dodson led all batters with a 3-for-4 performance at the plate to go along with two RBI. Smith was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and four RBI while Tucker was 1-for-2 with two RBI. Schumann added two hits and an RBI while Schwarz and Cassie Redman had one hit each.
"I thought we executed pretty well," said Schumann. "The home run ball obviously helped us and that really gives us confidence early on."
Next up for the Islanders will be a pair of games on the second day of the invitational against Cleveland State and UT Arlington. The game against CSU is scheduled for 1 p.m. while the UTA game is set to start at 3 p.m. at Chapman Field.

Canadian Literature loves Stunt
'In Claudia Dey's first novel, Stunt, the ordinary has no quarter whatsoever. Raised and eventually abandoned by an erratic, bipolar father and a diva mother, the nine-year-old narrator, Eugenia, and her 'Irish twin' Immaculata, have no opportunity to establish mundane routines. Fiercely loyal to her father, Eugenia searches for him throughout the novel, both in memory and in the present.
The relentlessly extraordinary nature of the characters and events makes for a demanding, unpredictable read. Dey does not reach simply for bizarre, mythic characters (like the metal-detecting diver who lives on a houseboat turning jetsam into jewelry), or quirky macabre situations (like Immaculata's hobby of preserving rodents in formaldehyde). Even incidental passages unfold a wealth of sensation and suggestion. For instance, Dey gets her characters from a houseboat to a beach on Toronto Island as follows:
'[W]e run down to the channel … Some children dance between cottages in bright raincoats, pockets heavy with water, habitats for fish. Immaculata told me that goldfish grow depending on the space they are accorded. I see the children walking down to the lake and emptying their pockets there, returning day after day to wade into the water and stroke their giant fish, their hearts swelling and becoming nearly unbearable in their chests.'
Dey has revitalized the coming-of-age novel into a touching odyssey in which surreal experiences, such as aging nine years overnight or 'walking on a wire that is fastened to nothing but the night air,' become accessible via a universal theme: no matter how Dionysian the father figure, he must be overcome. Dey allows us to see growing up as a feat – a stunt – parallel to none.'
