Comprehensive Description
Taxonomic Remarks
This species was first described by Gibbs (1973) from southwestern England based on a collection of more than 200 specimens.
Type Material
(From Gibbs, 1973)
A large specimen with 65 mm long is deposited in the British Museum (Natural History) under the registration number 1972.9.1. A series of 25 paratypes specimens, measuring 15-65 mm in length, are deposited in the same Museum under registration number 1972.9.2-26. Additional material has been deposited in the collection of the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, and the Zoological Museum of the University of Bergen.
Type Locality
West Reef, Wembury (Gibbs, 1973).
General Description
This species is the only one in the genus with hooks arranged in several rings. The trunk has smooth and lustrous skin without prominent papillae. The oral disk has a circle of flattened tentacles surrounding the mouth, and a lobed nuchal organ. The transition from introvert to trunk is not sharply marked and the introvert tapers gradually towards its tip. A pair of nephridiopores opens anteriorly to the anus.
This species was found in intertidal waters in southwestern England, northern Spain, and the southern coast of Florida. Off southern Spain it was collected in deep water (350-720 m).
Physical Description
External anatomy
(From Gibbs, 1973)
Introvert shorter than the trunk. Transition from introvert to trunk is not sharply marked and the introvert tapers gradually towards its tip.
Hooks arranged in rings. The anterior rings are normally complete but the posterior ones often have many hooks missing. The largest hook measured 75 µm height.
The trunk is 1.5-3.0 mm in width, slender and cylindrical.
Tentacular crown consists of a single circle of slender, flattened tentacles around the mouth. The tentacles are grouped in pairs and arranged. In worms longer than 20 mm, the number of tentacles varies from 12-20, but normally there are 16.
The nuchal organ is divided by shallow longitudinal grooves into five main lobes.
Internal anatomy
The trunk wall has a continuous longitudinal muscle.
Two ventral retractor muscles are attached to the body wall in the anterior half of the body. In extended worms the point of attachment lies between two-fifths and halfway along the length of the body, and about one-fifth of the distance between the anus, and the posterior end of the trunk.
Spindle muscle extends through the intestinal coil and is not attached to the posterior end.
There are no fixing muscles attaching the gut to the trunk wall.
A small caecum is present on the rectum.
A pair of free nephridia opens posterior to the anus.
A pair of reddish eyespots is embedded in the brain, and they are visible through the introvert wall.
The majority of the worms measure 25-50 mm in total length (introvert extended), and the largest are 65 mm long (Gibbs, 1973).
Diagnostic Description
Skin smooth without prominent papillae. Hooks arranged in rings behind the tentacles.
Look Alikes
Similar Species
The array of hooks, the distinct tentacles and the nephridiopores posterior to the anus differentiate N. rimicola from its congener species N. minutum.
Habitat and Ecology
In southwestern England and northern Spain this species was found in muddy sand with fine shell gravel filling rock crevices (Gibbs, 1973 and Saiz Salinas, 1986). In deep water off southern Spain it was found in sediment composed of mollusk shells, foraminiferans or pteropods (Saiz Salinas, 1990). In Florida the specimens were found in coquina rubble.

Where's Marco?
By tonybeckham on Feb 06, 2006
As of late, I've been telling everyone about Sun Java Studio Creator 2. What I have failed to mention are some of the people that have made it all happen. If you are part of the Rave Team please don't feel offended by your initial exclusion, Peter Z., 008, Sandip (I mean Plug In ), etc. One of our super engineers I want to recognize is Marco :) . My towel wearing, OS and server master friend Marco has apperently challenged the world to determine his hometown (somewhere in Germany as far as I can tell) ;) Even though he is a colleague I have no idea where this is. Please help me find out Where Marco's from. Happy Hunting, and don't forget to let me know!

Who doesn't like taking photos with their smartphone? Of course, taking the photo itself is usually just half the fun. The other half (the "larger" half, some would say) is applying funky effects to those photos. Apps like Instagram and FX Camera make it easy to apply beautiful effects to your images, and often have creative names for those effects like "Willow" or "Orton".
Retro Camera is very much like those two apps, but it doesn't let us forget where those retro effects originally came from – old toy cameras. In other words, Retro Camera doesn't just let us apply retro effects, but it tries to make the entire photo experience feel like you're using an old camera. Gimmicky? Sure. But it's also fun.
History & Vital Statistics
Retro Camera is not a new app. Angela mentioned it back in 2011 in her post covering 3 Hipstamatic-Equivalent Android Apps For Retro Photo Effects, and it has been firmly ensconced in our Best Android Apps for a while now. On Google Play, it has accumulated over five million (!) downloads, and over 50,000 reviews garnering a 4.3-star average. In other words, it must be doing something right.
Above you see one of the cameras in the app, called the FudgeCam. You're looking at what makes Retro Camera so retro. Whereas other apps usually offer a modern capture interface and restrict the old-timey look only to the effects, Retro Camera makes everything feel old, and makes each effect into a full-fledged camera with its own unique capture interface. Let's look at a few more of those, and their results.
Reference Image
Before I show you what some of the cameras look like along with their results, here's the setting I'll be using to demonstrate the effects:
The images you'll be seeing below won't be completely identical to this one, because Retro Camera doesn't let you apply effects to existing photos in your gallery.
The Bärbl
The Bärbl is a classic German camera dating back to the early Fifties. This is what it looks like in Retro Camera:
And this is what its resulting image looks like:
A heavy-handed ultra-retro look, with light leaks, and a large frame.
Xolaroid 2000
An obvious reference to the Polaroid 2000 classic camera, the Xolaroid 2000 looks like this:
And the resulting image looks like this:
I've added the thin black border myself so you could see its dimensions, and how much white space the Polaroid effect adds. Again, a very overexposed image, with oversaturated colors.
Or in its other name, "Japanese toy cameras gone bad", looks like this:
Bonus points to any reader who can tell me what the dog on the left is saying. Resulting image looks like this:
A much more reasonably exposed image which doesn't necessarily scream "cheap retro effect." Definitely more usable than the other two.
Several other virtual cameras are bundled with Retro Camera, but you get the point. The effects are simple, and often heavy-handed.
Reviewing Your Recent Photos
To complete the old-timey feel, Retro Camera includes its own built-in image browser for your ten most recent shots:
Again, nice if you like this sort of thing, but rather limited in functionality.
What Retro Camera Won't Let You Do
Retro Camera is fun, but it has a few glaring limitations:
- You can't apply effects to existing photos. You pick a retro camera model, take your photo, and get the effect. No way to undo or pick a different effect after the fact. Which leads me to…
- You can't tweak effects. Other camera apps (like Snapseed, for example) let you control numerous parameters about your effect, applying them selectively to get just the look you want. Retro Camera isn't like that: Each camera has one effect, and that's exactly what it looks like.
- It isn't social. In other words, this is no Instagram killer. To me this is more of a pro than a con, really.
Final Thoughts
I love taking photos, but honestly, I fail to see what's so exciting about Retro Camera. Its heavy-handed emphasis on simplicity actually makes it feel inflexible and unintuitive, at least to me. Then again, as I've said at the outset, its amazing Google Play ratings and user base show it must be doing something right.
What do you think? Is this the sort of camera app you like, or are you more into the modern-looking photo effect apps?

Destined to Fail
This is the story of Bill.
Bill is a field technician working as a contractor for Time Warner Cable. He doesn't know it yet, but he is assigned to my cable installation today (thanks to him I am able to write this—thanks Bill!). What he does know is that my experience with him will be painful as a customer, and enraging as an entrepreneur.
It's 6:30AM. Bill wakes up this morning destined to fail.
He stumbles across his house getting ready for work, drinking some water to prepare for the warm Texas weather, avoiding caffeine or any chemical-laden beverage, "because I sweat on the job; it's gross—it's not good," he'll tell me later in the day after I offer him a Diet Coke. After dressing in the same uniform he wore yesterday, and probably the day before that, he heads to his employer's warehouse to pick up today's assignments, his tools, and his work van.
It's 7:15AM. Bill arrives at work.
He stumbles by his locker and grabs his tool bag before heading to the office to retrieve the printouts for today's assignments. Scanning through them he sees two appointments scheduled between 8AM-9AM. "Shit, you've got to be kidding me," he mutters to himself; one of these appointments is mine, the other is across town. Austin isn't a massive city by any means, but it will take Bill 20 minutes to get from one location to the other.
It's 9:25AM. Bill calls me, already behind schedule.
Naturally, I'm using the restroom as my phone rings. I nod my head in appreciation of the comedic timing, reluctantly answering. "Yeah, uh.. is this a Mr. Kovar in the 'mill-a-go' building?" he inquired, butchering the word Milago. "Sure is. Need me to come let you in?" "Yes sir, but before we get started, I need to get to the cable access point. Is the engineer for the building in today?"
Lucky for me, the engineer was in and gave us the access needed. I follow Bill into the room curiously as he tells me how he suffered a hernia and had to take workers' compensation to afford the medical bills and this is his first full week back on the job. As a result of this ordeal his old equipment was issued to another contractor, and after his return he was given all the old tools the company had laying around. Old and broken.
It's 9:45AM. Bill can't open the cable access box.
I peer over his shoulder, arms crossed as if I actually know what he's doing and can provide some sort of input like, "maybe try a different angle?" He explains how Time Warner issues a specific screw driver which acts as a key to open cable boxes and how the previous owner stripped it trying to open the wrong kind of box; it's rendered useless. "You're telling me they knowingly sent you out with broken equipment?" All Bill can do is laugh to himself and give back a defeated, "Yep."
We are reduced to waiting for his coworker to arrive with a working magic screw driver; Bill waits in his van to avoid potentially being towed. I sit in my apartment patiently, pondering to myself how this man can wake up every day knowing he'll be dealing with an unrealistic schedule, a handful of rude customers, and an expectation to upsell every customer—he's a technician, not a salesman—let alone make it home in time to take care of his son.
It's 10:15AM. Dave shows up with working equipment.
Just as soon as he shows up Dave leaves to his own appointment, trading screw drivers with Bill in an act of kindness—apparently they're mostly needed in apartments and big buildings, and Dave only had private residences on his schedule. Bill is finally able to showcase his skill, plotting his every move out loud to himself before conjuring cables from his tool kit and getting to work.
As he works, he asks about my role at AppSumo and how long I've been in Austin—he tells me that he's from Louisiana and used to work as a master carpenter before the economy tanked, relying on his Army skills as a communication specialist to get his contracting job with Time Warner. I can tell he misses working with wood; there's a spark of life when he talks about the craftsmanship required to work on historical homes and making his stance on today's shoddy home builders known. Very quickly we're getting my modem plugged in and, after some tweaking with energy levels, we have a solid signal.
It's 10:30AM. We have a geek moment.
He's never had a customer who supplied their own modem, "I didn't know you could even do that!" We call in the MAC address and as we wait for the modem to (hopefully) register within Time Warner's system, he notices my desktop is named Nebuchadnezzar. "That's funny. I named my computer after a ship too—from Alien, Nostromo." He tells me how Alien is his favorite thriller science fiction movie, but Blade Runner is his absolute favorite sci-fi flick; the original version with narration, specifically. Is say I'm too young to know and he laughs, telling me to watch it.
It's 11:00AM. Bill knows he's destined to fail.
Turns out something fishy is happening with the modem; we have to submit all of the numbers labeled on the back. Then out it comes: Bill levels with me about his job. We've bonded over sci-fi—we can talk about anything now. He tells me he's tired, physically and emotionally, because of this job. Some days he starts work at 7AM and doesn't get home until 11PM; he's overbooked; and he has no benefits.
We run through his schedule for just today and figure that by 11AM:
- He's already an hour behind schedule because he was issued broken equipment. That screw driver can't cost any more than $5, yet it slows this man down significantly.
- Another hour behind because Time Warner fails to keep their technician's needs in mind, let alone their customers' satisfaction. Their support staff isn't accountable for overbooking technicians while the technicians are accountable for not being able to work fast enough.
- Time Warner should have known, based on the options selected during my purchase, that I would supply my own modem and asked me personally to supply the MAC address and relevant information.
These plus my other issues with Time Warner Cable conflate into a horrible experience as a customer:
- My first appointment on Wednesday was canceled because my phone number was entered incorrectly into Time Warner's system and I never received a call to confirm I was home, and (more frustratingly) didn't receive an email letting me know the appointment was canceled.
- The only way I could remove the monthly modem rental fee in my order online was to view the code on Time Warner's site and edit a hidden part of the HTML for the appropriate checkbox to be visible. I've never had to 'hack' an order form before.
It's 11:30AM and my internet is finally working.
Just like that, Bill is gone with a firm handshake—on to be looked down upon by the next customer who is surely critical of him and of Time Warner for his late arrival, two and a half hours behind schedule. And here I sit, stuck writing this piece with a service that just feels wrong to use, as if my poor experience makes my internet not worth the burden of knowing how little Time Warner cares.
In short, don't let your company become destined to fail. Pay attention to the little details—they add up.

Definition of notorious in English:
- The list is endless, but here are a few of the more notorious celebrations of recent times.
- In the process he became the most celebrated, or at least most notorious, journalist of his era.
- For Dylan is not only the most renowned protest singer of his era but also its most notorious renegade.
Late 15th century (in the sense 'generally known'): from medieval Latin notorius (from Latin notus 'known') + -ous.
When it appeared in the late 15th century notorious first meant just 'commonly or generally known, famous', as, for example, in the 1588 quotation 'Manie of you…are men verie notorious for their learning and preaching'. However, the negative meaning had already emerged by the time the Book of Common Prayer was published in 1549: 'Suche persones as were notorious synners.' The word comes from Latin notus 'known', which is also the root of the English words note (Middle English), notice (Late Middle English), notify (Late Middle English), and notion (Late Middle English).
Words that rhyme with notoriouscensorious, glorious, laborious, meritorious, uproarious, uxorious, vainglorious, victorious

We applaud the initiative for tackling these difficult issues, and we look forward to working with policy-makers to support efforts that will go beyond punishment and retribution to effectively treat, prevent, and ultimately end sexual violence in conflict. We only hope that this critical action is evidence-based.

On Friday night, forward Paul Byron made his 2012-13 season debut after missing the first nine games of the year with an upper body injury he sustained during off-season training. The 23 year-old had been practicing with the club for a week prior to suiting up for his first game of the year in order to get his conditioning up to snuff.
"I thought I was pretty prepared going into last night's game," he said after the Heat's morning skate. "I knew getting a good start was key, especially since we've been having slow starts lately. I wanted to be able to provide a little energy, a little jump early in the game."
In his first shift of the night, Byron whizzed through the Barons zone, wreaking havoc with his speed and skill. He ended up generating a scoring opportunity when he was able to dance around a defender during that shift, showing no signs of rink rust at all.
"The one thing about Paul is he competes really hard, he sticks his nose into you pretty hard and then he gets off," head coach Troy Ward said after the game. "He doesn't long shift you. He doesn't play winded. He's a smaller guy who plays with everything he's got. I think he controls his ice really well. It was a nice addition to our team."
One of the most noticeable aspects of Byron's game on Friday was his physicality. The 5-foot-9, 175 lbs. pivot plays a big game and doesn't shy away from physical play. He finished all his checks and was always in the mix when any pushing and shoving started.
"He's got the heart of a lion," Ward summarized. "He'll go after you every time he can and that's his nature.
"That's probably his biggest gift, why prior to coming to our organization he had some success at this level and he's had some success in Calgary. He gives you everything he's got."
Given his lengthy recovery, one may assume Byron would want to play a more cautious style of game in his first few outings of the season but that isn't the case.
"(The injury) wasn't on my mind at all," he stated. "I wasn't worried about getting hit. I was worried about going out there and playing my game, that's it. Getting back to what made me successful last year and building on that."
Byron was acquired by the Flames on June 25, 2011 in a four-player deal with Buffalo. He played 22 games in Calgary last year, amassing three goals and five points. He suited up for 39 games with the Heat in 2011-12, notching seven goals and 21 points.
After falling 4-0 on Friday night, the Oklahoma City Barons will be looking to pick up their game tonight and quell the surging Heat. The Barons were unable to contain Abbotsford's red hot power play and couldn't find a way to beat the AHL's best penalty kill during five opportunities with the man advantage.
Adam Estoclet expects to see a big push-back from the Barons but feels his team can sweep the series if they stick to the game plan they have employed all year.
"When we play our systems, it's pretty tough to beat us. As a lot of people have seen so far, we're pretty patient and prepared in what we do.
"If we stick to our systems, we should be alright."
Former Heat defenceman Jordan Henry made his Oklahoma City debut on Friday night after playing two games with the Oilers ECHL affiliate, the Stockton Thunder. He signed a PTO with the club on Thursday. He started the 2012-13 season in Sweden with Södertälje, collecting two points in seven games.
Henry is the first player to skate for both teams in the AHL version of the Battle of Alberta.
Tonight's game can be viewed on Sportsnet at 8:00 PM MT and listened to on Team Radio.

Girls and women in developing countries use mud, tree bark, kitchen sponges and dirty rags to manage their period. With $5,000 we can get a 6 month supply of pads to our patient women in Sierra Leone. They've use pads, they don't want to go back.
While we have long term plans for the production of LaunchPad products within Sierra Leone, we have been overwhelmed with requests for more sanitary pads RIGHT NOW.
$30 will ensure one woman has 4 months supply of sanitary pads as well as a place in our menstrual hygiene workshops. We'd love to get 6 months supply of products to 150 women - can you help? Click here to donate $30
The women in our trial program experienced what life was like when they had access to sanitary pads - and they don't want to go back to the old way. This $5,000 will help us give 150 women a supply of affordable sanitary pads for the next 6 months. That is our immediate goal.
Anything short of this will allow us to cater for either a smaller amount of women or for a time frame shorter than 6 months. Our tipping point is $2000. This is the point at which we can provide a minimum level of access to sanitary products.
The key to the long term success of this program is understanding of the product. Introducing sanitary pads into a new market where a majority of the customers have never heard of or seen a sanitary pad before will raise a number of challenges. To combat this, we will be running sensitisation workshops that detail the benefits of using sanitary pads and demonstrations on how to use them. With the initial $2000, we can provide our LaunchPad Champions with marketing training to ensure they can run smaller workshops with women from their communities so as we strengthen the supply of products to the community, this is met with equal market demand for the product.
This particular fundraising campaign is being run with the enthusiasm of Sarah Moran in partnership with One Girl co-founders David Dixon and Chantelle Baxter.
If you would like to get more involved in the work of One Girl and our projects, we invite you to "Do it in a dress" from October 2-9 2011. READ MORE

Betsie Larkin releases debut artist album "All We Have Is Now"
Talks of Betsie's album started with DJ/producer Ferry Corsten, soon after the release of his album "Twice In A Blue Moon", for which Betsie was featured on the tracks "Made of Love" and "Feel You". Ferry was quick to discover Betsie's talent for crafting songs and invited her to create an album with backing from his new label, Premier, a joint venture between Flashover Recordings and Black Hole Recordings.
In a recent interview, Ferry Corsten said: "When I was looking for collaborators for my last artist album, I listened to literally hundreds of vocalist/songwriters both known and unknown. The beautiful, dreamy, lush vocals and insightful, intelligent and captivating lyrics of Betsie Larkin completely blew me away. I knew that she was special."
Betsie enthusiastically began the preparations for her new album and reached out to a list of heavy-hitters in the EDM scene and crafted a song or two with each producer. The result is twelve tracks that successfully fuse each producer's unique style with Betsie's signature songwriting and vocals.
Betsie enjoyed the process of working with ten producers on her album: "This was an ambitious project, to say the least, but so rewarding in the end. It was really fun experiencing all of the different processes for writing. With some we started from one of my older alternative rock songs. In others I would lay down a very minimal piano with a vocal and let the producer create music around the idea. I only started from a producer's instrumental on one track, which was "The Offering" with Sied van Riel. The real fun was in sending off a rough version of something I had written, and seeing how it came back to me after a few weeks with the producer. These guys are incredible at what they do, and working with them was a blast!"
The producers include John O'Callaghan, Ferry Corsten, Super8 & Tab, Lange, Rafaël Frost, Solarstone, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Sied van Riel, Bobina and Bjorn Akesson.
Betsie Larkin's upcoming single "The Dream", produced by John O'Callaghan, has everything required of a dance anthem. Energetic and driving, it soars into the chorus, and delivers at every turn. Betsie's voice cuts through with her trademark strong messaging: "I keep chasing the dream. I keep chasing the fire inside me. Throw the map on the street. We'll find out where this fire was meant to lead…"
Prophetical words, no doubt: her chases lead to Betsie Larkin's new album "All We Have Is Now".

Product Description
For about thirty nail-biting minutes, players' nerves are tested to the limit by the threat of the ticking Bomb.
A card is drawn bearing two or more letter. The variable length fuse (10 seconds to 1 minute) is set and the ticking Bomb is passed to the first player.
In turn, players must shout out a word that contains the letters on the card and pass on the Bomb before it goes off! Words must be in common use and can only be used once in each round. Players may challenge at their discretion.
All too often the word you think of as you await your turn is used by a preceding player and even those who boast the largest vocabularies suddenly find their minds go completely blank as the infernal Bomb ticks away.
Any number may play, but be warned -- this game is not for the shy and retiring!

WILLIAMSTOWN - City council began two discussions during the regular meeting Tuesday.
The first discussion regarded giving the city's employees a raise, which was brought up by Mayor Jean Ford and quickly handed to longtime Councilman Marty Seufer.
Seufer suggested a 5 percent raise across the board for all hourly and salary full-time employees of the city.

"My only problem with it is a percentage makes the amount each person receives different and out of whack," said Councilman Gene Duncan.
Duncan moved to approve the raises with review discussions likely to occur at the Aug. 5 meeting.
Seufer also brought up the city's need for a new fleet of police cruisers.
"We need a plan to get new cruisers, but since we are in the midst of looking for a new (police) chief, I think we need to wait until we get a new chief and see what he wants," Seufer said. "He may have a better plan than we do to replace the fleet."
Williamstown Police Chief B.D. Adkins has announced he will leave the position after 10 years on July 31.
Once Adkins is replaced, Ford said, the city can begin to discuss the need for cruisers later.
"We are down to one cruiser now with others done or in the shop," she said.
Councilman Ron Erb suggested council look at raising the city police tax to pay for the new cars.
"When we established the police fee, we figured it would be able to get a new cruiser every three years, but cruisers are getting more expensive," Erb said. "Maybe we need to look at raising that fee."
Prior to the meeting's end, council held a 20-minute executive session to discuss personnel, which resulted in no motions or decisions. Officials refused to speak about what was discussed.

More good news for medical marijuana patients: a recent study found that marijuana use is not linked with the progression of liver disease in patients co-infected with hepatitis C and HIV.
The study, published in the July edition of Clinical Infectious Diseases, examined the effect of regular marijuana smoking on liver disease progression among subjects who were infected with both hepatitis C and HIV. Previous research had produced mixed results, with some studies claiming a "strong link" between marijuana consumption and liver disease. In contrast, this study found "no evidence for an association." Researchers speculated that associations observed in previous studies were due to "reverse causation;" in other words, patients who already suffered from liver disease used increasing amounts of marijuana to cope with the pain as the symptoms worsened.
These findings debunk the long-held belief that marijuana use exacerbates liver damage, which gives us even more evidence that marijuana is objectively safer than alcohol, in addition to being a relatively benign medicine.
Using marijuana may cause a "complete remission" of Crohn's disease, a new study suggests.
Published in the medical journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the study examined the effects of regular marijuana consumption on the development of the severely debilitating Crohn's disease. Researchers at Israel's Meir Medical Center found that five of the 11 patients (or nearly half) who smoked twice per day for eight weeks achieved complete remission, compared to none of the patients who were given a placebo. Additionally, another five of the test subjects receiving marijuana saw their symptoms cut in half. And, unlike many of the drugs currently prescribed to treat the illness, there were no significant side effects.
The symptoms of severe Crohn's disease make it a living nightmare for many patients, who can suffer from bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and fevers.
This study is the first placebo-controlled clinical trial to measure the impact of marijuana consumption on Crohn's disease. While there is no cure for Crohn's, scientists are working to keep the symptoms in check and prevent further progression of the disease.
The researchers were hesitant to label the findings a total success, but said that they merit further research.

Paccar's Hybrids: Building a Heavy-Duty Supply Chain via Channel 19
While the Volt isn't scheduled to arrive in showrooms until 2010, U.S. automakers of another sort have already begun producing hybrid vehicles. These technologically advanced machines are produced by the commercial trucking industry, a line of business that doesn't garner nearly the amount of mainstream media attention for its environmental efforts as advancements in consumer auto production.
Amongst talks of federal bailouts of the Big Three, Paccar brings an excellent counterpoint. Trucks obviously spend much more time on the road than an average vehicle and fuel efficiency is important. Paccar has found a need in the marketplace and has moved forward with plans even though profits from the new hybrids are years down the line. One thing is sure: when hybird technology drops in price, Paccar will be well positioned.
OOIDA calls for postponement of 2010 emissions standards
The organization is appealing to US policymakers to postpone the 2010 emissions standards in light of a new study released by NERA Economic Consulting that suggested fleet managers will hesitate to buy new equipment with 2010 emissions controls.
The truth is unfortunate: polluting costs more than moving towards efficiency and eco-conciousness. With the economic pinch, we may be seeing more pushback against stricter environmental standards.
NAFTA freight shipments reached record high in 2007
Trucks carried 61 percent of this freight measured by value — $555 billion in 2007. Rail carried 15 percent, followed by maritime with 7 percent, pipeline with 8 percent, and air with 4 percent. Trucks saw the largest modal increase in shipment value from 2006 to 2007 — $21 billion — followed by rail (up $9 billion) and pipeline (up $4 billion).
Last week we wrote about the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement. One thing is clear, however, and that is that NAFTA is growing larger by the year. And trucking is seeing the largest of that growth.

Recent uShip Stories
Although Thanksgiving has not yet arrived, we already find ourselves in the spirit of the holiday. Around the country people are preparing their vacations to be home with their families, and celebrating one of the oldest traditions in American history. Users have been stopping by to say 'thanks' to the great uShip Service Providers that have helped them get their own piece of Americana.
Thecoolcoder recently treated himself to a vintage portable electric piano–which was 300 miles away. Thankfully, Delboy had him rocking out in no time:
"I managed to find a special piano at a manageable price… but it was too far to drive and get. I looked on the discussion forums dedicated to this special piano to get ideas on shipping. There was a post about a guy that had used Uship.com, so I signed up and posted my required pickup/delivery info. I then received multiple bids and found one that would work. I got lucky and got the nicest gentleman in the world that liked the "something new every day" type of work that Uship offered him. The piano arrived perfectly and I rate this entire experience a 10/10."
User balltvols22 was finally able to complete a vintage dining room set that matched a dining table that his wife had bought some while back. While the set was finally complete, his remaining pieces were at an antiques shop in Pennsylvania and he was stuck in South Carolina. Through uShip he was able to connect with Shofar who helped bring his family of furniture together:
"My wife had bought a vintage dining table and chairs locally from Craigslist manufactured by White Furniture of Mebane, NC. We had looked for a long time for the matching China Cabinet and some more chairs and finally found them on ebay. Before I bought the set, I placed my need on uship and I was amazed at how seemless the process was incorporated with ebay and it made the whole experience one that I would recommend to anybody. I finally accepted a bid from Shofar shipping out of Waynesboro, PA to pick the item up from an antique shop in Denver, PA and deliver it to home right outside of Charlotte, NC. The price from Shofar was excellent not to mention the quality of their work. I am so pleased with the furniture and the uship experience I can't wait to do it again. Thanks!!"
Our final story for the week comes from xhail99. After finding a vintage beauty shop in Harrisburg, PA, xhail99 needed to get it to Chicago ASAP. Once again Shofar was able to give great service.
"We had to find someone in limited time who could go and pack a 3 station vintage 50's beauty shop including 3 large mirrors to deliver from Harrisburg to Chicago.We are building out a retro salon. Setting up the listing and getting bids on Uship was easy. We chose Shofar (Leonard)based on Uship's feedback system. He has all high praises and in the end, we could not agree more. Everything arrived fine, mirrors unbroken, at a very reasonable price. He did it for what it would personally cost us to drive out and get it, let alone our time and labor. No freight company would pick it up and the lot was too difficult to crate or package. We saved a bundle vs a household items shipper too – at least $1250!Any time we have difficult items to ship we come to Uship. Thanks!"
We would like to say thanks to all of our service providers and users for helping us make uShip into the great community it is today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Kelsey Grammer as Beast
Sure, there is a part of me that wants to see Kelsey Grammer have to endure more hours of blue makeup and hot fur after the public humiliation he put his ex-wife through (kidding - sort of - did you see him on Piers Morgan? Lord), but no doubt a younger beast (Nicholas Hoult) would have mixed emotions about meeting his future self. On the one hand, Dr. Hank McCoy has become a valued Presidential advisor after the events in "X-Men: The Last Stand." Unfortunately, McCoy has remained the mutated furry form he turned into as a young adult. Handled the right way it could be an extremely enlightening look at a character arc through different decades.

Shane Margarito and Pac Margarito. I thought about all of the guys Margarito beat in the past where he could've possibly used plaster, and Pacquiao for one night damn near tortured Margarito. To see Pac hurt Margarito to the body, and see Margarito fold over in pain and to see Pac beating the **** out of Margarito and then showing mercy satisfied my unhealthy blood lust.
Shane was hand picked, called old, and when Margarito was caught trying to use particles/ingredients of possible plaster, I was damn near hysterical. But in the end, Shane was unforgiving, and he shattered this chin myth about a man suspected of using plaster. My mind was filled with evil intent towards Margarito until Shane bent him over like a pretzel with that body shot, put him down with head shots, and then ended the myth of Margaritos chin.

I just watched the videos published by ScottHa with the presentation by ScottGu on the new MVC framework for ASP.NET, and really liked the approach the MS team that is going to be lead by Phil is having on this: everything is pluggable, everything is replaceable, no more postbacks, no more viewstate.
To view the video yourself, if you are not among the 20k subscribers of Scott Hanselman blog, go to his post and follow the links to watch the videos in Silverlight format. Or download the WMV files:
And following the DRY principle, I'm not repeating a complete description of the MVC framework, but I'd rather link to what Damien Guard wrote: Observations on Microsoft MVC for ASP.NET
ScottGu said that they are going to release a first public preview release in 6 to 8 weeks, so, by the end of November give or take: looking forward to have a look at it.

Resources to locate loved ones in Boston
Published 7:01 PM EDT Apr 15, 2013
There are several resources you can use to locate loved ones who may have been down in Boston at the time of the marathon explosions.

Spanair Probe: Is Pilot Error a Crime?
Today's Journal story by Dan Michaels focuses on some of the thorny issues that arise out of air accidents. He writes:
For six decades, aviation regulators have sought the causes behind and responsibility for plane accidents. Victims' families have sued for damages with civil suits.
Lately, however, public prosecutors are seeking criminal accountability for mistakes that lead to air disasters, raising a thorny legal and moral question: When does human error become a crime?
"It's a Nobel Prize question, figuring out how to coordinate civil and criminal law enforcement," says Harvard Law School professor David Rosenberg.
In aviation circles some say a focus on criminal punishment could prompt people in the industry to hide problems, for fear of being held responsible for them. "There's a fundamental disconnect between how aviation investigators look at an accident and how prosecutors look at one," David Rimmer, executive vice president at ExcelAire of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., told Michaels. Two ExcelAire pilots have been charged by Brazilian prosecutors following a 2006 midair collision in Brazil that killed 154 people. "Investigators look for causes and ways to avoid repeats, while the goal of law enforcement is to find somebody to blame," Rimmer said.
What do you think? Would a move toward criminalizing air accidents help improve performance? Or would it just push problems into the shadows?

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Brown has signed a bill by Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman into law, empowering residents of elder care facilities and their families to advocate for their interests.
The bill, AB1572, requires a residential care facility for the elterly to help residents establish and maintain a resident council if two or more request it. In the past, it had been required only if a majority of residents requested one.
The bill also requires facilities to respond to resident council concerns in writing, to inform residents about the council and its activities, to respond to concerns raised by family councils, and to include notice of the family council, among other reforms.
According to a news release from Eggman's office, she was moved to write this bill, and another that would impose more rigorous information requirements on such care facilities, after following several cases of severe neglect, including facilities in Castro Valley and San Diego County.

West Nile virus is a term we continue to hear. What is this virus? Is this a local virus? Can this affect my family? These are important questions to have answered.
The West Nile virus has documented cases around the world and first spread to North American in the late 1990s. It has continued to spread across the continental United States as well as Canada. The West Nile virus is mainly spread via the bite of an infected mosquito. A mosquito can become infected when they feed on an infected bird and in turn can infect both humans as well as other animals. While it is extremely rare, the virus could be spread through blood transfusions and organ transplants.
The virus can have varying results on individuals based on their central nervous system. While most people infected with the virus experience no symptoms, those who do may have dizziness, headaches, a rash, muscular issues, body aches and/or intestinal problems. It can cause febrile illness which is when the body temperature spikes. People with the minor symptoms are most likely to have a complete recovery, although fatigue could continue for weeks or even months.
Anyone over the age of 60 as well as those with certain medical conditions are susceptible to a more severe impact. These medical conditions may include diabetes, cancer and those with a compromised immune system. While it is very rare, encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, and meningitis, an infection of the lining of the brain as well as the spinal cord, are neurological illnesses that could result from West Nile Virus. It has only affected about 1% of those infected by West Nile Virus.
People who spend a lot of time outdoors for work or other activities are at a higher risk because of their increased exposure. Wearing long sleeves, long pants and socks could help protect your skin. In addition, insect repellent with DEET could be beneficial as well. At this time, there is not a vaccination for West Nile virus or medications to treat the virus. There are only over the counter remedies to reduce the symptoms for those with mild reactions. Individuals with severe outcomes may need to be hospitalized. Our best defense is to minimize the potential of getting mosquito bites.
According to Dr. Patrick Cody, Medical Director of Norman Regional Health System's EMSSTAT Emergency Services, "Mosquito-borne viruses are interesting because they are an excellent example of how we can impact a disease by prevention measures. If we use public health resources to reduce mosquito populations and decrease mosquito exposure (ie., the "fight the bite" ads), we can stop the disease in its tracks."

Oklahomans living with Parkinson's can now fight back at their disease with a new boxing program. Through a partnership between Norman Regional Health System (NRHS), The Health Club and the Oklahoma Parkinson's Foundation, two Norman Regional Rehabilitation therapists were able to be trained at the non-profit Rock Steady Boxing Program. The program uses boxing classes and coaches to help improve the lives of those with Parkinson's disease.
Starting in June, The Health Club will offer Rock Steady Boxing classes every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:00pm. Rock Steady Boxing is a class taught by certified professionals who use a non-contact, boxing inspired fitness routine to improve the ability of people with Parkinson's to live independent lives. The philosophy behind the program comes from the equipment and exercises used by boxers. Some of the equipment includes heavy bags, speed bags and punch mitts. The goal is to increase core strength, improve balance and posture as well as flexibility and speed.
Rock Steady is a national non-profit that not only has its own gym where classes are taught, but also trains others in their unique program for people living with Parkinson's. Debbie Bennett, an NRHS occupational therapist and Stacy Hyden, an NRHS physical therapist are the two therapists who trained in Indianapolis and became certified trainers in the program.
Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that leads to shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. It affects about half a million people in the United States although the numbers may be much higher. Exercise can help people with Parkinson's improve their mobility and flexibility. It can also improve their emotional well-being. Exercise may improve the brain's dopamine production or increase levels of beneficial compounds called neurotrophic factors in the brain.
It is exciting to have such interest in the program which was launched on June 2nd. At a recent open house to educate our community about the benefits of the program, over 50 people were in attendance.
The classes are open to anyone diagnosed with Parkinson's Diseases, however, in order to participate, an initial assessment is required. The Health Club is located at 3720 W Robinson St #124 in Norman. To inquire about the cost of the assessment, class fees or equipment, you may contact Lisa at (405)307-1722.

Considering May is Stroke Awareness Month, it is the perfect time to remind everyone of the simple ways to detect any signs and symptoms of a stroke. When someone's heart stops functioning properly, they may be having a heart attack. A similar term is now used with a stroke. A stroke can be referred to as a brain attack.
A stroke occurs when oxygen can no longer reach the brain. The arteries leading to the brain can be blocked or the vessels may rupture. According to the American Stroke Association, stroke is the leading cause of disability as well as the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. We can be a hero and help save someone. The word to know is FAST. It is actually an acronym that represents:
Face – The face is usually relatively symmetrical. If you notice that one side of someone's face begins to droop, this could a sign that he or she is having a stroke. The brain is no longer able to communicate to the muscles within the face and one side starts to hang down.
Arm – If someone begins to have weakness and the inability to maneuver an arm or a hand, this also could be a result of a stroke. You may ask them to raise both arms and see if they are able to control them.
Speech – When an individual has difficulty forming words or proper sentences, this too is a sign that cannot be ignored.
Time – Once a person displays even one of these signs or symptoms, there is no time to wait. He or she needs specialized medical treatment as fast as possible. You should not put them in your car and drive them to the hospital. It is imperative that 9-1-1 is called. The first three hours are extremely critical. A clot-busting medication can only be effectively administered within this short time period. Even if the 3 hour window has been surpassed, it is still important to contact 9-1-1.
Norman Regional Health System (NRHS) has designated as a Certified Stroke Center by the Joint Commission. According to the Joint Commission, this designation has been awarded based on the exceptional effort and best practices unique to patients who have experienced a stroke. They are used to create the opportunity for better long-term outcomes. The ability to provide this level of care should provide our community with peace of mind.
EMSStat is NRHS's emergency medical service that serves Norman, Moore and the surrounding communities. When they are informed of a potential stroke, they begin communicating with the emergency room so that the appropriate personnel are onsite to provide immediate care upon arrival. The clot busting medication is called Tissue Plasminogen Activator or tPA for short. This medication will be administered upon arrival in the emergency room. The faster it is administered, the more brain cells can be saved. According to Tom Gremling, MSN-E, RN, NRHS Stroke Training Center Coordinator at NRHS, "Studies show that early detection and activation of the EMS system is imperative when dealing with stroke. At the time of a stroke event, a billion brain cells a minute are dying off, so remember Time is Brain, act FAST!"
By acting FAST, you can be a hero. You have the ability to save a life or the quality of someone's lifestyle. Remember: Face, Arm, Speech and Time.

While tornadoes can happen at any time, the prime conditions usually present themselves between late March and August. Considering you may not be together when disaster strikes, to create peace of mind among your family members, it is important to have an emergency plan in place.
Start your plan with contact information. You should write down important phone numbers on a sheet of paper or on a wallet size card. Everyone should carry this card in their wallet, purse or back-pack. It would be helpful to have this contact sheet posted in a central part of your home; like on the refrigerator or a bulletin board. This way, if your cell phone battery dies, you can still be in contact. The card should include the following phone numbers and information.
Here is a link to a template you can use from FEMA.
When a tornado strikes, you may have a better chance of communicating via text instead of phone calls. There are times that a text may go through when you are not able to connect via a phone call. In addition, it frees up connectivity for emergency personnel. It may be easier to reach an out to town/state number which is why it is recommended to have one point person everyone can call/text to keep informed. A text should include where you are located, who you are with, that you are OK and if you need something.
Select a meeting place. You can have one within your neighborhood or somewhere else in town. Discuss ways to get to the meeting places as well. Decide on safe, familiar places where your family can go for protection or to reunite. For pet owners, consider animal friendly locations. According to FEMA, here are examples of potential meeting places.
Social Media is a great place to stay in contact and keep others informed. On May 20, 2013, a friend traveling in Japan at the time of the tornado was able to connect with a quick phone call. Considering, electricity was out in the some of the metro area and phone service was spuratic, it would have been difficult to provide others with a status update. The friend was able to post an update letting people out of town know contact had been made and that everyone was OK.
It is important to practice your plan with your family. Have regular household meetings to review your emergency plans and discuss your designated meeting places. If you have not done it yet, now is a really good time to clean out the storm shelter. If you do not have a storm shelter, identify a safe area within your home. In addition, check the batteries in the weather radio. You want to make sure you have working flashlights as well as candles. Ensure you have back-up batteries.
"Norman Regional knows first-hand the devastating effects of severe weather and the importance of being informed of weather conditions and having a plan in place", said Shane Cohea, Director of Safety and Security at the Health System. During the May 20, 2013 tornadoes, the Health System's Moore Medical Center took a direct hit from an EF-5 tornado. While the building was destroyed, due to the preparedness of Moore Medical Center staff, those inside the building survived without injury.
Norman Regional Health System is proud to become a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador with the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador initiative is an effort to formally recognize NOAA partners who are improving the nation's readiness against extreme weather, water, and climate events. As a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, Norman Regional is committing to work with NOAA and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against extreme weather.
Norman Regional Health System is holding six training sessions called EF-5 Fridays. The community is invited to learn about the best practices for severe weather. If you have any questions, you can contact our class enrollment line at 405-307-3176.
Join us by "being a Force of nature" and taking actions that can save lives anywhere - at home, in schools, and in the workplace before tornadoes, hurricanes, and other extreme types of weather strike.

As more young women have become involved in athletics, the benefits and risks of exercise have become more apparent. While exercise and athletic participation can improve cardiovascular health, weight maintenance, stress reduction, and overall quality of life, it also can be a source of challenging issues unique to female athletes. Once such issue recognized is The Female Athlete Triad.
This triad has been described by the American College of Sports Medicine as involving three components: low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and reduced bone mineral density.
Low energy availability refers to the negative balance between energy intake and energy output. This energy imbalance is due to insufficient intake for the level of physical activity. This may be intentional or unintentional. Unintentionally it may be from a lack of knowledge of the increased caloric needs of highly active individuals, particularly of adolescents. For example, a highly active 16-year-old adolescent may not realize that she needs approximately 3,500 calories to maintain her weight. When it is intentional, the insufficient intake may reflect a spectrum of disordered eating. Studies have demonstrated a 15%-35% prevalence of disordered eating amongst collegiate and elite athletes.
Menstrual irregularity occurs frequently amongst athletes and ranges from skipping months of periods to having frequent irregular bleeding throughout the month. This is due to the brain not communicating to the ovary properly due to lack of proper nutrition and required energy. Frequent bleeding then may lead to iron deficiency anemia which compounds the already fatigued athlete, potentially creating a dangerous combination of motivated athlete with improper reserve.
Reduced bone density is the third part of the triad of the female athlete. The decreased bone density is secondary to a combination of increased bone breakdown due to low estrogen levels typical of female athletes, as well as reduced bone formation caused by low body weight and insufficient nutrient intake of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Of concern is the increased fracture risk associated with low bone density that may affect an athlete later in her life.
Symptoms may include weight loss, skipping or losing menstrual cycles completely, and stress bone fractures.
An immediate consequence includes decreased athletic performance because the body is not receiving the nutrition it requires. Increased fatigue and concentration problems become evident and the brain starts to lack its required nourishment. In the long-term, anemia, decreased immune functioning, and increased risk for bone fracture, osteoporosis and injury are real threats.
The Triad is best treated first by recognition of the concern, and involves a care team of physician, dietician, and for those with disordered eating, a professional trained in focused counseling.
Early recognition and intervention is key. Consistent, proper nutrition and sufficient calories to balance the energy requirements must be individualized based on the amount, type and intensity of exercise one is involved in.

Department of Art
Students may take classes in gallery management to add to their resumes. Students have opportunities to work with guest artists and the gallery director to design, publicize, and strike exhibits. They learn professional attributes that are necessary for successful relationships with galleries from the perspectives of directors and artists.
Students can meet and talk with regionally and nationally acclaimed guest artists who exhibit in the James David Brooks Memorial Gallery. Advanced studio majors may schedule individual critiques to discuss their work and aspirations.
Students may participate in various student exhibitions. Studio majors must complete their degrees with senior exhibitions, which are solo shows of their junior and senior year work. Additionally, the department offers a yearly student juried exhibition for all students, in which they compete for awards of merit. Art students have opportunities outside the school for building their resumes as well. Faculty members encourage students to enter shows and competitions, and provide regular information about venues that are appropriate for their work.
Students at Fairmont State have traveled with members of the art faculty to New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Paris to see museums and galleries. Art students have also traveled to China and London with other members of the Fairmont State community.
Students may attend various workshops sponsored by the department. Artists-in-residence and guest artists often provide opportunities in the form of workshops for students to collaborate on works of art, or to learn about specific media or concepts. Additionally, art faculty members provide graduate school workshops to help students prepare for the process of applying to graduate programs.
Department of Communication & Theatre Arts
The School of Fine Arts has numerous scholarship opportunities available to its majors. While no application for admission is required for Fine Arts programs other than that required by the university, scholarships require a separate application and depending on the area, an interview, audition or portfolio review.

Things, even necessary things, which occur in preventing other bad things from happening, are not JUSTICE, per se. You don't shoot (or tase) someone to stop them shooting someone else because it's what they DESERVE; if you do it, it's because it's what you have to do in order to stop them.

Two fucking years.
"Johnson family attorney John Burris acknowledged a small step was taken by the justice system in sentencing Mehserle to two years, but he said that was insufficient. Both Burris and Bobby Johnson noted that NFL star Michael Vick got a harsher sentence for running a dog-fighting ring."

the murderer went free today.
Los Angeles (CNN) -- A former transit police officer convicted last year in the shooting death of an unarmed man on an Oakland, California, train platform was freed from prison early Monday morning, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
"He was released at 12:01 a.m.," said spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Johannes Mehserle was sentenced to two years in prison for the involuntary manslaughter conviction, but California law gave him one day of good conduct credit for each of the 365 days he served behind bars, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry said in a court order he signed last week.
Mehserle has been behind bars since a Los Angeles jury found him guilty on July 8, 2010.
Mehserle, a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer when the shooting occurred, said at the trial that he intended to draw and fire his Taser rather than his gun when he fatally wounded 22-year-old Oscar Grant on New Year's Day 2009.
Violent protests erupted in Oakland last November when Perry sentenced Mehserle to just two years in prison, which meant he could be released after another seven months.
At least 150 people were arrested during the protests, which Oakland Police Chief Anthony Batts described at the time as "tearing up the city."
Grant's mother, Wanda Johnson, had asked the judge to sentence Mehserle to the maximum 14 years in prison. She and four other family members who spoke at the sentencing hearing last year called him "a murderer."
The jury acquitted him of the more serious charges of second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter.
Although his defense attorney argued for probation, Mehserle told Perry before sentencing that he would be willing to go to prison if the sentence made his city and family safer.
"I shot a man," he said. "I killed a man. It should not have happened."
A conviction for involuntary manslaughter can carry a sentence of four years, but the judge had the option of adding an "enhancement" that could have made the sentence 14 years because a firearm was used in commission of a crime
