Event begins at 6:30 p.m.
Sep 4, 2013
RENO, Nev. -
The University of Nevada cross country team will begin its 2013 season by hosting the Nature's Bakery Nevada Twilight Classic at Shadow Mountain Park in Sparks, Nev. Saturday evening. The event under lights will begin at 6:30 p.m.
The Nature's Bakery Nevada Twilight Classic is a combined meet featuring races for student athletes, beginning with a middle school race, high school race, and the women's open/collegiate race. Eighth grade and under boys and girls will kick-off the meet with a 3,000 meter race starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by an unattached community race and high school races beginning in 23 minute intervals. The women's 4,000 meter collegiate/open race will start at 9:11 p.m., followed by the large school varsity girl's race at 9:32 p.m. to conclude the evening.
The cross country team is in action this week after last week's race, the Nevada Chase Race, was cancelled due to the unhealthy air quality with smoke in the area from nearby California wild fires. While the smoke has been a problem, Nevada head coach Kirk Elias does not believe that it will hold his team back, "We are ready to go," he said in a statement. "We may not be as sharp, but our fitness level is very high." On days when air quality has been unhealthy the team has been working out inside using spin bikes to maintain the team's fitness level. Coach Elias believes that the team's general fitness level is as high as it can be, and expects them to run strong. "I told the team I am not worried about times for this weekend, but I am interested in competing. I want to see them Compete during the last quarter mile, and run tough when someone tries to pass them." He also said that he is considering adding a race to make up for the canceled Nevada Chase Race, "I may add another race if I feel as though we need more race experience."
Nevada returns a talented cast of runners, including school 4,000 and 6,000 meter record holder senior Samantha Diaz, last season's Mountain West Freshman of the Year Emily Meyers and local talents junior Demerey Kirsch and sophomore Erika Root who are third and 12th respectively on the Nevada all-time 4,000 meter record list.

The Rotary Club of Templestowe is one of 49 Clubs in Rotary District 9810, Victoria Australia. D9810 is one of 21 Districts managing over 1100 Clubs in Australia and more than 530 Districts managing over 33,000 Clubs worldwide. Some useful links to local, national and international resources are listed on this page.
Rotary is a NetworkPerhaps it was the first real global social network Take a look below
You're Welcome from Rotary International on Vimeo.
Please take the time to browse the following summaries and links They open the door to more Rotary information and resources
Rotary is a worldwide organisation of business and professional people that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.
Clubs may differ from each other in demographic terms, meeting times and venues, but all have the same aims of making the world a better place, locally and internationally, while at the same time strengthening established friendships and creating new ones.
Each President of Rotary International selects a theme for the year they hold that office. RI President Ron Burton's 2013/14 theme is designed to encapsulate his key priorities this year for Rotary and Rotarians to work together and with other entities in a coordinated effort to change lives in local and wider communities.
The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to support the efforts of Rotary International in the fulfillment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary's mission, and the achievement of world understanding and peace through local, national, and international humanitarian, educational, and cultural programs.
The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational and cultural exchange programs. It is supported by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
District 9810 lies to the south and east of the Melbourne Central Business District. The district boundaries take in parts of the eastern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne and then stretch eastward through the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong Ranges. At approximately 3200 square kilometres, District 9810 is one of the smallest in area of the 21 Districts in Australia.
From Port Phillip Bay to the Ranges, District 9810 stretches from the southwest corner at Hampton to Chelsea along the bay, moves north east from Hampton to Templestowe, and then east across to Healesville, south to Upper Yarra, and meanders west through the hills to Monbulk and Emerald. Moving south west through Rowville you end up back in Chelsea! You've just travelled about 200 kilometres and probably passed our District Governor somewhere on the road! There are currently 49 Rotary Clubs (including one e-Club) and we have about 1300 Rotarians involved in all areas of Rotary service.
ROTARNET is the gateway to the official website for Rotary Down Under. It links to information about Rotary, and Rotary Down Under, the Rotary Down Under magazine, Australian Rotary Health, Probus, The Australian Youth Exchange Program, the Rotary merchandise online catalogue. District websites and Club websites are found by post code, alphabetically and through the District index.
Australian Rotary Health (ARH) is Australia's largest non-government funding body of mental illness research. ARH also funds research in other health related areas.
The genesis of ARH in 1981 was the mystery of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The Late Ian Scott, from the Rotary Club of Mornington, established Australian Rotary Health to support research into SIDS. As Australian Rotary Health grew so did the vision of medical research possibilities. Supported by Rotarians Australian wide, Australian Rotary Health was soon in a position to sponsor health research in areas that did not readily attract funding.
Australian Rotary Health has a broad vision of health. They are a catalyst for projects that improve the quality of life for people who are least able to assist themselves.
Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) is now in its 20th year of operations. Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise to run this Rotary program that encompasses all the Districts of Australia and New Zealand. Assisted by many eminent Australian surgeons who generously donate their time free for the treatment of our patients, this humanitarian program has provided over 300 children from 20 developing countries with urgent medical treatment that has given them new hope.
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide. Starting as the brainchild of one Rotarian with the support of his Rotary club in year 2000 – ShelterBox has grown to become the largest Rotary Club project in the 100 year history of the organisation.
Rotarian support currently contributes an estimated 50% of ShelterBox donations. Around 5,000 Rotary clubs worldwide have supported ShelterBox since it was launched. ShelterBox has now been recognised as a major Project Partner with Rotary and is a Global Rotary Club project.
Interplast Australia & New Zealand provide surgical and allied health services in developing countries in the Asia Pacific region by providing free medical treatment and training. Each member of an Interplast program is fully qualified in their field of expertise and volunteer their time to participate in an Interplast program.
Interplast volunteers provide free treatment to people living with a disability from a congenital condition such as cleft lip and palate, or an acquired condition such as burn scar contractures. Treatment is targeted to the indigent population who would otherwise not be able to afford to access services.
Interplast assists with developing local capacity to provide surgery and ancillary services by providing training and mentoring programs for medical and allied health professionals. All Interplast programs are training programs — leaving a legacy long after the team has gone.
A Rotarian Action Group (RAG) is a voluntary association of Rotarians who unite themselves for the purpose of conducting international service projects that advance the Object of Rotary. Comprised of individual Rotarians, spouses, Rotaractors and friends from around the world, RAGs are a relatively new feature of Rotary life.
The aim of Rotarian Action Groups is to develop a worldwide network of persons with a common interest in a specific humanitarian cause who will work together proactively on projects of international and local scopes. Any Rotarian interested in the work of any RAG is invited to visit their website, use their references and other materials and consider becoming a member.

I can't decide! It's between Emma Roberts and Victoria Beckham (of course!).
Never been too fond of Daisy Lowe but she totally knocked it out this time. Impressive.
Naomi always delivers on big ocasions and this is no exception. She's timeless.
I'm bothered by the length of Thandie's dress but it's always a pleasure to see her hit the redcarpet, surprising us when we all thought she'd go with another boring CK tank dress.
The other three… blah…
I really wish Daisy had done something more with her hair.. but she looks gorge.

Trains, Planes and Small Investors
With so many businesses having trouble borrowing from ailing banks, a handful of asset managers are hoping small investors can help fill the gap. There are some catches for the investor, however, writes Ian Salisbury of Dow Jones Newswires.
These firms have been tapping financial advisers to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for investment funds that buy equipment ranging from rail cars to aircraft engines and then lease it to mid-size businesses, a strategy that advocates say can generate double-digit annual returns.
Although the vast majority of equipment leases still originate with large banks or dedicated leasing companies, the new funds make the case it can also be profitable for mom and pop. One, from a unit of Australia's Macquarie Group investment bank, aims to raise $150 million from investors with as little as $5,000.
Leasing funds, which typically register with the Securities and Exchange Commission but more closely resemble hedge funds than mutual funds, might still be a tough sell. The investor must commit their money for up to a decade, and the funds typically use leverage, or borrowed money, which can boost gains but also losses. Most funds also carry high investment costs, a hurdle that contributed to poor performance for an earlier generation of infrastructure funds that appeared in the late 1980s.
"There are a lot of moving parts," says Craig Carnick, a financial adviser in Colorado Springs, Colo., who has examined some leasing funds, but passed them up because of the high fees and variables like residual values and interest rates, which can affect the benefits of leverage. The complexity "makes those deals hard to get your hands around."

Brad Goode
« Back
Trumpeter Brad Goode has been one of the busiest performers in the United States for more than 25 years, working as a soloist, bandleader, lead trumpet man, and sideman. Goode's jazz pedigree was established through his apprenticeship with many legends of the music. As a youngster, he toured and recorded with Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Al Cohn, Eddie Harris, Ira Sullivan, Frank Morgan, Don Lanphere, Curtis Fuller, Jack DeJohnette, Ernie Krivda, Richie Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Barrett Deems, and many others.
Goode led his own combo in Chicago from 1986 to 1998, appearing at major festivals and night clubs around the world, including a 12-year stint as leader of the house band at the famous Green Mill Jazz Club. As a cultural ambassador for Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, he led jazz groups on tours of Asia and the Middle East. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the most influential Chicagoans of the 1980s, crediting him as a "major catalyst in the revitalization of the Chicago jazz scene."
In recent years, Goode has increasingly appeared as a lead trumpeter with many of the world's top big bands and symphony orchestras. He also performs as a jazz bassist and drummer. He has served on the faculties of the American Conservatory of Music, New Trier High School in Illinois, Cuyahoga Community College, the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and the University of Colorado, where he is currently associate professor of jazz studies. He makes frequent appearances as a soloist and clinician at colleges and high schools throughout the country.

Police were hoping Saturday that a 30-year-old woman will be able to help them identify an attacker who stabbed her multiple times in her room at around 5:15 p.m. on the top floor of the Embassy Suites hotel on Friday.
The woman somehow made her way to the hotel's third floor, where another guest found her and called for help following the Friday night attack. Milpitas police Sgt. Bryan Hinkley said Saturday that the woman was hospitalized in critical condition and had not yet been able to make an extensive statement.
"She may hold the keys to the puzzle," said Hinkley, who added that investigators believe the victim may have known her attacker.
"It was not a random attack, and the public's safety is not compromised," Hinkley said.
Police and medical workers were called about 5:25 p.m. Friday to the third floor of the upscale Calaveras Boulevard hotel, where the woman was found. But investigators quickly determined that the stabbing took place in the woman's room on the ninth floor. The woman was the sole guest registered in the room.
"There was evidence in the room that indicated a violent struggle occurred there," Hinkley said.
Christian Alvarez, 28, a guest at the hotel, said he saw the victim when she was being wheeled away and that she was bleeding profusely from the head and neck area.
"I had just checked in and was about to get on the elevator when they were taking her out," he said. "It was scary.
While officers worked the crime scene Friday night, it was business as usual in the lobby and atrium of the hotel. Guests milled about, some of them dressed up for a reception.
The only sign that a serious crime had taken place was the police tape blocking access to a pair of elevators, where an officer stood guard.

What started off as a street beautification effort to cover 60 drab utility boxes in downtown Berkeley with artwork by some of the East Bay's most talented artists has become something of a local sensation.
So many people have been wanting to get in on the project -- both as artists and sponsors -- since the first boxes were unveiled in Oct. 2011 that project founder Ariana Katovich of the Earth Island Institute had to change the name from 60 Boxes Project to Streets Alive!
"Just this morning we got an email from a teacher at Willard Middle School who would love to do the utility boxes near Willard," Katovich said last week. "We're in negotiations to do some boxes in south Berkeley. We just found out about an opportunity to do some boxes in the Oakland Uptown District. We're just growing beyond our initial downtown idea."
Streets Alive! officially unveiled the first 27 completed boxes, 11 brand new, with a public walking tour Dec. 7. They plan to install several more works downtown in early January.
Because Streets Alive! is a project of the Earth Island Institute -- an activist organization that planted the garden in south Berkeley at the corner of Adeline Street and Alcatraz Avenue and beautifies median strips in the area -- Katovich chose sustainability as the artists' theme.
The first three boxes were adorned with work by artists Ryan Kerrigan, whose "Redwood" piece is on Shattuck Avenue at Allston Way; Mariana Garibay, whose "Network in Green" is on Shattuck Avenue and Center Street; and students from Studio One Art Center, whose collaborative piece "A Healthier Future" is on Channing Way at Shattuck Avenue.
Multimedia artist Beth Fein, known for her Dance Anywhere project, said she applied to the program because she loves public art. Fein studied and took photographs of people in downtown Berkeley for inspiration for her "Downtown" piece on a box on the northeast corner of Addison Way and Shattuck Avenue near Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
"Here are these ugly boxes on the street and I thought this was such a great idea," Fein said. "I like art that comes up and meets people during their day, where they don't have to go to a museum or gallery to see it."
Berkeley artist Masako Miki said she created her vision of an ideal place, complete with a polar bear on an ice floe and elephants in a savanna, on her three-dimensional canvas entitled "We Want to Stay Here for a Long Time" seen on the corner of Shattuck and Durant avenues.
"I wanted to create an image of this place where land and animals and technology coexist," she said. "I have a small power-like item drawn in the piece and that symbolizes technology. I was trying to select this element that is an important part of sustainability. I made a landscape that implies that notion of equilibrium and that we all sort of live in harmony."
The boxes are wrapped with a polymer sticker that has a high resolution image of the artists' painted or graphical work on it. The images are intended to stay for at least three years.
Katovich explained that the boxes are either commissioned or sponsored by individuals, businesses, public figures, nonprofit organizations and institutions such as UC Berkeley. Initially artists essentially applied on a deadline to be part of the project but now that the project is so popular, Streets Alive! is open to any proposals.

'Twilight,' 'True Blood' Driving Up Chocolate Fang Sales This Halloween
Forget the fun bars. This year, Halloween has gone upscale.
From Whole Foods to Dean & DeLuca, chocolate fangs and skulls and devil candy are stalking the shelves, thanks to a push from the "Twilight" movies and "True Blood" television show.
Lynda Stern, of Bond Street Chocolate, says the chocolate fangs are big sellers in her New York store, though the mini-skulls don't tend to skulk around long.
"The fangs, those are just a no-brainer this year because of the 'Twilight'/'True Blood' thing," she says. "But the skulls sell really well on Valentine's Day too."
Dean & DeLuca is doing a whole series of spooky chocolates this year, including Halloween Bark, complete with caramel worms and cookie crumb dirt.
Chocolatiers say that they really get to show off their inner crazy on Halloween, whereas Christmas and Valentine's shapes and flavors tend to stay in the traditional land of eggnog, cinnamon and sweetheart shapes.
John Down, the chief chocolate officer (hello, who wouldn't want that title?) of Christopher Norman chocolates says each year he tries to come up with something a little trickster for their Whole Foods clients. This year it's chocolate filled with apricot and… red pepper.
Of course that's the filling found in the "devil" candy. He's also got pumpkins filled with peanut butter for those looking for something a little less shazaam in their sweet. And both the skulls and the cats have red glittery eyes, thanks to a dash of sugar.
But at the end of the day, while the adults might go for dark chocolate fangs and red-eyed skulls, Stern says she still keeps a bowl of the regular stuff around, just in case.
"Kids aren't really high-end," she says. "They just want the crazy color wrapping!"

Contest, blues and jams this weekend
Last week, Brookfield singer-songwriter Nora Collins, 17, got to sing the national anthem at a Mitt Romney rally in West Allis.
On Friday, Collins will be campaigning in her own contest as one of 10 finalists in the Wisconsin Singer/Songwriter Series' Song Contest Competition. It's the first in a planned annual competition in the series' 20-year history, said founder Joe Delucia. "It was a good way of celebrating the song and how moving the medium of music can be," he said. »Read Full Article

A football tournament, which kicks off in St John's on July 4 is attracting huge media interest from around the world.
The Tynwald Hill International Tournament takes place at St John's United's Mullen-e-Cloie ground and will include former players from the Italian and Spanish leagues, as well as ex-Liverpool and West Ham star Julian Dicks as manager of one of the teams.
'It's gone crazy,' said tournament organiser Malcolm Blackburn.
'We've got coverage from a sports reporter from the New York Times, from Russia's largest football magazine, also the website "Inbedwithmaradona" which has a 2.2million readership, Football Club Magazine, which has a 1.5m readership, Talksport radio, and there are three TV crews coming,' he adds.
'Ticket sales have been hysterical too. There are loads of people coming to the island especially for the tournament.
'It could even be that local people just turn up on the day and find the games are sold out.'
Competing in the Non-Fifa tournament will be six teams; Alderney, Occitania, Raetia, Sealand, St John's United and Tamil Eelam.
St John's stepped in to host the event earlier this year after the original organisers found they were unable to stage it in London. Prior to this, the ambitious western club made a bid to represent the Isle of Man at the Island Games in Bermuda, but complications arose as they weren't a representative national side.
Alderney is perhaps one of the few teams participating that people may already have heard of. The third largest Channel Island with a population of 1,600, they also compete in the Island Games.
Occitania, meanwhile, is a historical region in southern Europe which roughly encompasses the southern half of France, Monaco and smaller parts of Italy and Spain. Perhaps the most famous sporting offspring from the region is Eric Cantona.
The team was set up to help preserve the ancient medieval language of Occitan and their squad includes former Real Zaragoza player Vivian Dors.
Raetia was a province of the Roman Empire named after the Rhaetian people and is an area comprising eastern and central Switzerland, southern Bavaria and the Upper Swabia, Vorarlberg, the greater part of Tirol, and part of Lombardy.
Tamil Eelam have named former Roma striker Panushanth Kulenthiran in their squad, which is made up from players from all around the world, who in many instances, have been forced away from their homeland of Eelam, an area of Sri Lanka. American news channel CNN will be following the Tamil team.
The area is known for the Tamil Tigers, a separatist militant organisation, who fought against the Sri Lankan government forces in a 26-year war.
Sealand is perhaps one of the most interesting nations taking part. It has a population of just 27 and is located 13km off the coast of Suffolk.
The Bates family took control of the 'island', which is basically a man-made platform in the sea, in 1967 and declared themselves the rulers, with Roy Bates calling himself 'Prince Roy'. He died in October 2012 and his son, 'Prince Michael', took over.
Ralf Little, actor in the Royle Family, has played for the Sealand team in the past.
With such a unique collection of teams, Malcolm hopes that a successful tournament may lead to the island hosting next year's VIVA World Cup, a competition organised by the New Federation Board, an umbrella association for nations unaffiliated with FIFA.

Target doesn't waste any time in lining up its designer collabs! Just one day after the 3.1 Phillip Lim collection went on sale, the retailer revealed it has already started working with U.K. brand Peter Pilotto for its next collaboration, which will go on sale Feb. 9. The news was announced at the designer's runway show today at London Fashion Week.
Susie Bubble was at the show and shot this cool Instagram video that served as the official announcement!
Peter Pilotto for Target will feature nearly 70 items, from dresses and skirts to chic clutches and swimwear. Most items will be sold for less than $60 at Target, and for those of you who live overseas, you can also pick up the collection on Net-a-Porter!
Just in case you're not already familiar with the brand, here's what you need to know: It's designed by the design duo Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who are based in London. Peter Pilotto is known for its amazing prints and the Target collab will be no different. Target said to expect to see kaleidoscopic prints, bold color combinations (in blues and greens and warm reds and oranges and sculpted silhouettes). Here's a look at the designers.
Now, here's a photo from today's runway show!
The label is also beloved by celebs including Kerry Washington, Miranda Kerr and Emma Watson.
Kerry wore a Peter Pilotto dress to the Django Unchained premiere.
Are you excited to see this new collab? Have you shopped the Phillip Lim collection yet at Target? What did you buy?

Who's responsible for it?
The WAN repeater system is run by a team of thirteen 'core' members. These are the folks who represent the majority of the full time connections. Along with the core members, there are other individual owners and clubs who participate in the system. These auxiliary nodes may be connected occasionally or full time, depending on their own preference. The system is comprised of mostly 2 meter and 440 MHz repeaters, but it isn't uncommon for 222 MHz and 6 meter repeaters to also be connected. Some of these auxiliary nodes are located in other parts of the US, like Texas and Florida, and it's not uncommon to have repeaters in Canada, the UK, or other countries be connected.
What is used to connect to it?
AllStar is a linking technology that takes analog audio and immediately converts it to digital. As a digital signal, it can be transported over great distances without degradation, and can be relayed over the Internet or other Ethernet network. Each repeater uses a computer with a free LINUX software distribution and a radio interface, which together takes the place of a conventional repeater controller. The computers we use are a mix of new computers and discarded (donated) desktops.
Why not give it a try?
The WAN system is like any other publicly available AllStar system - open for you to try. You don't even need a radio! You can sign up for your own (free) AllStar account and connect using the "WebTransceiver" or you can connect through one of many conventional repeaters. We invite you to give it a try.

The WAN Repeater System uses technology from the
AllStar Link whom organizes and administrates
a network of publicly-accessible (license required) Amateur Radio repeater and remote base
stations accessible to each other via Voice over IP carried over a LAN, WAN, or the public
Internet. The AllStar system and associated "ACID" distribution is a work in progress by
Jim Dixon - WB6NIL (also known as Dude), and Steve RoDgers - WA6ZFT, and possibly others.
Most of the dedicated sites in the WAN-RS use the Xelatec XIPAR distribution of the software. XIPAR (pronounced zipper), is a release from a mutual friend Steve Henke - W9SH. Zipper has dynamic Allison ducking and simple voter functionality as well as enhanced audio filter rules designed by core member Jeff DePolo - WN3A. These enhancements make the system more pleasant to listen to. We also run a few ACID servers so the WAN System is accessible using the WebTransceiver.
Core member Scott Zimmerman - N3XCC has set-up a web based user forum for helping others with XIPAR amateur radio over IP software distribution. We also have a section on the AllStars' ACID and Limey Linux distributions. The forum, located at AllStarNode.Com is available as a reference and place to ask questions and get good answers.
Scott is also responsible for the unparalleled USB radio interface called the RIM.
The files below show coverage plots of a few of our repeater sites. They are based on a Google Map.
You can zoom, and maneuver to see coverage in specific locations. These repeater coverage models were predicted using the newest version of Radio Mobile Online.
Green is considered usable, and yellow is marginal. These coverage maps show what is possible - not necessarily what YOU will experience as it depends greatly on your equipment and antenna capability.
I wish to thank Roger Coudé VE2DBE for his effort and supporting the amateur radio community with his professional services for free.

text: Walking into the venue for Kreator and Accept, there was a feeling that washed over the entire experience. To quote Henry Rollins, it felt like "another Saturday night in old Deutschland." There was everything one would expect from a tour trumpeting two of Germany's most prominent and standard-bearing thrash bands; high-speed metal revival, fans who haven't had a haircut since the Berlin Wall came down, and very few women. Fewer than normal at a metal show, and that's saying something.

AbstractGovernmental and commercial lists of food retailers are often used to measure food environments and foodscapes for health and nutritional research. Information about the validity of such secondary food source data is relevant to understanding the potential and limitations of its application. This study assesses the validity of two government lists of food retailer locations and types by comparing them to direct field observations, including an assessment of whether pre-classification of the directories can reduce the need for field observation. Lists of food retailers were obtained from the Central Business Register (CVR) and the Smiley directory. For each directory, the positive prediction value (PPV) and sensitivity were calculated as measures of completeness and thematic accuracy, respectively. Standard deviation was calculated as a measure of geographic accuracy. The effect of the pre-classification was measured through the calculation of PPV, sensitivity and negative prediction value (NPV). The application of either CVR or Smiley as a measure of the food environment would result in a misrepresentation. The pre-classification based on the food retailer names was found to be a valid method for identifying approximately 80% of the food retailers and limiting the need for field observation.

Tech Today: Pandora IPO Will Test Investors' Tech Appetite
Tech Today gathers the top stories from the technology industry. For more technology news, stay tuned to Digits and the Journal's Tech page.
Pandora IPO Will Test Investors' Tech Appetite
Yesterday's pre-IPO move by Internet radio company Pandora to price the company at $2.56 billion has many scratching their heads. Despite having 90 million registered users, the company has never made money. And as Heard on the Street's Rolf Winkler points out, Pandora faces increasing royalty fees for its music as more users join. Pandora must sell more ads to meet those fees, says Winkler, but challenges range from competing against radio companies—traditional and Internet—to its user base's move to mobile devices, where ads are less lucrative. [WSJ, WSJ's Heard on the Street, Chart Pandora's Stock]
Tech Bubble? Join the Debate
And speaking of bubbles … Today the Economist is hosting a debate between Andreesen Horowitz's Ben Horowitz and Steve Blank, a professor at Hofstra University, on whether or not the LinkedIns and Groupons of this current IPO cycle are fated to soar or, in the words of The Economist's Martin Giles, "plunge, Icarus-like, to earth." Readers are invited to post their own comments as well as vote pro or con on statements by the two sides. [The Economist]
Secrets From Apple's Genius Bar: Full Loyalty, No Negativity
Coming on yesterday's news of Apple store boss Ron Johnson leaving for J.C. Penney, the WSJ has this inside look into the Apple Store phenomenon. How successful is the tech company's brick-and-mortar venture? Apple's 326 stores attract more visitors in a single quarter than Walt Disney's four biggest parks. And its annual retail sales per square foot top everyone from Tiffany & Co. to Best Buy. WSJ reporters Yukari Iwatani Kane and Ian Sherr talk to store employees, dig up some snippets from an Apple Store training manual and explain the significance of "Gapple." [WSJ]
China's Cyberassault on America
In a WSJ commentary, former national security advisor Richard Clarke that the U.S. is treating the threat posed by Chinese hackers too lightly. "What would we do if we discovered that Chinese explosives had been laid throughout our national electrical system?" he asks. A digital version of potential sabotage happened earlier in the decade, writes Clark, when it was discovered that the control systems for the U.S. electric power grid had been hacked. There is plenty of blame to go around. Clark faults Congress for not passing significant cybersecurity legislation and the Pentagon for being too focused on offense. The U.S. government, writes Clark, is "failing in its responsibility to protect the rest of America from Chinese cyberattack.
Meanwhile, Henry Kissenger and former U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman came out against cyber saber rattling in favor of cyber détente. "At some point, we are going to have to develop a context in which we can actually discuss this and, I would think, draw some red lines around areas that we don't want them into and they might not want us into," said Huntsman. [WSJ, Reuters]
Google Adds Local Touch to New Search Offerings
The search giant introduced of slew of search-related features yesterday, some of the more important aimed at the mobile user. Targeting what Google sees as "an increase in searches for nearby places," its mobile Google homepage will boast a number of iconic shortcuts identifying categories such as restaurants, cafes and bars. Search tweaks for desktop Google include voice search, an improved image search where users can find out more information—such as the location of a landscape photo—and for Chrome users, "instant pages," a feature that loads search results faster partially due to what the WSJ tags as "guess work." [WSJ, Inside Search, Google Mobile Blog]
Computer Assisted Design and the 9/11 Memorial
The nearly 3,000 victim names etched in the bronze parapets lining the footprints of the original World Trade Center towers will likely be one of the most emotionally powerful takeaways for visitors to New York City's soon-to-open 9/11 memorial. In this fascinating read, digital artist Jer Thorp discusses just how these names were arranged. The challenge as set by architect Michael Arad was to lay the names according to where people were and who they were with when they died. The listing couldn't be alphabetical. Nor could the names be placed in a grid. The solution: Combining an elegant algorithm with an interactive tool that gave designers the power to adjust the layout. [Flowing Data, Blprnt]

What's with Rye?
A common bread MYTH is that rye bread is 100% whole grain and is high in fiber. Dark rye bread especially looks super healthy and full of fiber – it couldn't be more dark brown than it is!
Rye bread and I go way back…Twenty-five years ago when I was living in Washington D.C. for a summer internship, I think I lived on turkey and provolone sandwiches on dark rye (with just a smidgen of mustard) from the deli next to where I was working. There are certain sandwiches that just beg for rye bread. Some people like tuna salad on rye, for example. But is it a whole grain?
What's the real story on rye?
The first ingredient listed on the label of most types and brands of rye bread, from Russian Rye or Jewish Rye to Dark Rye or Extra Sour Rye, is none other than…unbleached enriched flour. The second ingredient is usually water with the third ingredient being rye flour. That explains why most rye breads contribute only 1 gram of fiber per slice (one dark rye in my supermarket even contributes less than 1 gram per slice). So, the truth is that most rye breads aren't usually 100% whole grain (although there might be some enlightened brands out there I haven't seen yet) and I wouldn't call them high in fiber either with only 1 gram a slice.
My guess is rye breads aren't as high in fiber as 100% whole wheat breads because in commercial rye bread sold in America, white flour is typically combined with rye flour to make the bread. Bread companies probably do this due to rye flour not having great gluten qualities; it would make a very heavy bread unless blended with a higher gluten grain like wheat flour. Rye flour on its own though IS high in fiber (3.6 grams fiber per 50 calories or 2 tablespoons of flour).

Post subject: Infections, dental work and TTC
I went to the dentist today to have a temporary crown on a root a canal. He said he was unable to finish it bc it was so infected and deep so he is sending me to a specialist. I also have another tooth that he wants the specialist to do a root retreat and he told me I have another tooth that looks bad. I have a family history of weak and bad teeth. I have heard that infections can make you infertile. Anyone know if this is true. I have heard of women having UTIs and yeast infections that have gotten pregnant just don't know if it is the same with infections in the mouth. I got a pos opk the other day so I am really curious. Good news is I see the specialist Friday and am finishing up 2nd round of antibiotics. Dentist said that is perfect timing. I made sure the dentist knows we are ttc and that my OBGYN knows I have been fighting infections in my mouth. I was just curious if anyone experienced dental problems while ttc and how it worked out for you.

I've never heard that either. I know you need to make sure they're dealt with as they can only go worse as teeth can't restore/fix themselves, but that's a general health thing.
My mum was told her whole life she had weak teeth and had all kinds of issues with it, even before she had me and she went on to have 3 healthy kids. So I don't think it ever affected her in any way, it was just really painfull etc at times, both on the teeth and wallet.
So I'd focus for now on getting it sorted as there's nothing worse than tooth aches. And don't worry about your fertility.
Good luck with the specialist!

the only infections that can make you infertile are STD's you are fine with all other kinds of infections.
However if you are actively trying some antibiotic are not baby friendly and let them know before X-rays are done. It may be better to put a hold on the TTC it you are sorted out.

I don't know if there is a link but I have awful teeth. I've had abscesses, infections, a cap, crowns, one missing etc. Last time I was there I said would it be easier to take them all out and he said yes but I was too young! That's how bad they are. But I've got two kids so no problems in that respect. Hope that helps x

Little updates
I've made some time for updating my work section. I will add a new category soon: iPhone App Designs. I have started building some interfaces for iPhone and iPad. So far, so good. There's no big difference between designing for the web and for the iPhone: you have to keep in mind some sizes, some general guidelines and.. that's all.
Anyway, I don't have time to keep this blog updated; actually I don't have time for any of my blogs. For example, I'm trying since 3 months ago to change the theme of one of my blogs: I designed it, I put it on .html and… no time to implement it on ExpressionEngine. And it's so simple.

Aix-mas Market
read moreread less
Unfortunately, I haven't been to enough European Christmas markets to know whether this one is truly extraordinary, but I really love the marché de Noël in Aix-en-Provence in the south of France.
The little stalls are set up along the Cours Mirabeau, the main street in Aix, as soon as the beginning of December rolls around, and there they stand through the end of the month.
Whether you're looking to buy handmade gifts, drink mulled wine, or just take in the sight of the lights and the crowds, this is a market worth visiting.

Playing with a dog may be a fun activity for young kids, but if not properly supervised, it can turn dangerous, without warning.
"My little niece did get bit in the face, and it was because she was playing with the puppy. So, dogs require their own space. If you get in their space, sometimes they will snap at ya," says Dothan Animal Hospital Veterinarian Dr. Ben Garrett.
However, if you are looking for a dog, or already have one as a pet, Dr. Garrett says there isn't a specific breed you should or should not choose, nor is there a specific age for a child to get a dog.
Still, Dr. Garrett recommends at least teach the child safety when around the animal. "I think if you're looking to get a pet, I think it's best if you get a puppy rather than an adult dog to bring in to a family, particularly with a child. You can raise the puppy with the children. That seems to always work best," he recommends.
There are some things you can do to help keep yourself and your child safe around a dog.
First, never pull a dog's ears or tail.
Also, when you are playing with a dog, never put your face down to the dog's mouth.
For other safety tips, State Farm Insurance offers a book that teaches safety habits around dogs.
"It does give a lot of do's and don'ts about what to do when you come up with a neighbor's dog or a stray dog that may approach children," says Garrett.
But perhaps the greatest tip is to always supervise your child, and don't approach stray dogs.
Here are some tips you can use, according to State Farm Insurance:

The future prosperity of any community depends on its ability to foster the health and well-being of the next generation. When a community invests wisely in children and families, the next generation will pay that back through a lifetime of productivity and responsible citizenship. Yet, when not all children have equal opportunity for healthy growth and development – due to experiences of child abuse and neglect – we put our future at risk.
Child welfare professionals are working at full capacity to protect our nation's children, but it's clear that the problem is too great and too important to be delegated entirely to these valiant workers. American Humane Association believes that each member of a community can – and should – become more aware of and involved in helping protect children and support families to prevent abuse and neglect before it occurs. That is why in 1997, American Humane Association created an innovative initiative called the Front Porch Project®.
The Front Porch Project is a national, research-supported, community-based initiative built upon the belief that all people who are concerned about the safety and well-being of children in their communities need to be encouraged and taught to make a difference. This concept is much the same as a good neighbor sitting on the "front porch" who, in years past, would have been aware of and involved in solving problems affecting families they knew. American front porches were more than convenient sitting places; they served as networking centers where concerned friends could share information and devise support systems to help each other through difficult times.
Our problems today obviously stem from far more complex issues than the architectural decline of front porches, yet there is great benefit in recapturing that sense of responsibility for the welfare of children that many of us have relinquished. The Front Porch Project advocates for becoming involved in each other's lives, recognizing the power of one person in making a significant difference in the life of a child, and applying strategies for intervening when necessary to help protect children and assist families.
Using a capacity-building approach involving training, technical assistance, and evaluation, American Humane Association helps local organizations implement and sustain the Front Porch Project in their communities. The Front Porch Project is a standout national prevention initiative because of its unique focus on educating and empowering concerned citizens on the role they can have in protecting children and supporting families. Evaluation results have shown that 95% of participants who participated in the Front Porch Project Community Training, the heart and soul of this initiative, agreed that they feel more comfortable intervening with struggling parents or families and are more likely to intervene than before the training. Empowering everyone to intervene early, the Front Porch Project helps ensure that all children in our communities will grow up with the health development they need to become stable, contributing adults.

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
Today's meditation follows along the lines of the above career advice, given by Bob Dylan to a young academic who happened, at the time, to be wearing a leopard-skin pillbox hat.
As for me, after generic academic rainy day moments, instead of getting stoned –er, I mean being passive-aggressive (though, `tis the academic way) — I have learned to try to tolerate the discomfort attendant to actually confronting abusive people. Until the Unfortunate Events, I had almost never taken this approach to inappropriate, hostile or aggressive behavior on the part of colleagues. In fact, it was part of my recovery from this (now blessedly long ago) period in my life to learn to screen out other people's craziness, to dodge other people's crap more adeptly and not worry about things I couldn't change. I have colleagues who do this very, very well, and although it can be frustrating for those of us who sometimes need them to engage at key moments, I learned to understand why it buys them peace of mind.
But sometimes crap is unavoidable, given the personalities of academics; it gets delivered to the door, Federal Express, and you are asked to sign for it. So I also worked hard on becoming more adept at responding to crap maturely, directly and with dignity. My repertoire now includes a private conversation where I say, "Hey, this is what you did/what seems to be happening; this is why it isn't ok; you need to have respect for me." Or whatever. Email can follow under some circumstances, but the initial private conversation, uncomfortable as it is, is essential. Best case scenario is that the person tells you something you need to know that allows you to understand why they are behaving badly, even if you don't accept it, or think it is your fault; worst case scenario, they continue to behave childishly and begin once again to abuse you with their contempt and bad manners.
The results of my attempt to deal directly with the most recent unpleasantness fell somewhere between these two outcomes, after which the offender sneered in a parting shot, walking away, "Why don't you blog about it?"
Oooooooh. It's tempting, isn't it?

When should you use and not use Etags?
I was just looking at our site on WebPageTest.org and one of their recommendations for speeding up a website is:
ETag headers should generally not be used unless you have an explicit reason to need them
I was wondering what this means. Does it mean that static content you know will not be changing should not have them, or does it mean content you know will be changing regularly shouldn't have them, or does it mean that you shouldn't use them generally unless you have a specific need.
If it's the latter, when is the right time to use them? Thanks for any help.
The main argument I have seen against them is that files that are common to many servers will have to be grabbed over and over again by the client. Better is to include a version string in the name of the file itself.
So for example, if you round robin load balance your web servers each server will generate its own ETag causing the client to grab it multiple times.
You can read more on the yahoo high performance website blog. The summary of this is that you can make it work but you have spend the time to configure it right.
Check more discussion of this question.

Ben Lovejoy's slap shot from inside the blue line beat Antti Niemi 2:48 into overtime to give the Ducks a victory at SAP Center.
Corey Perry's goal at 16:01 of the second period had tied the game after Tyler Kennedy scored shorthanded at 8:15 to put the Sharks ahead 2-1. San Jose rookie Thomas Hertl opened the scoring at 14:42 of the opening period. Anaheim's Emerson Etem tied the game by beating Niemi 2:48 into the second.
"He can skate a hundred miles an hour and he's a big, strong man," coach Bruce Boudreau said of Etem. "His improvement from day one last year tto the first time he got called up, to when he got sent down, to the second time he got called up, to through the playoffs and then until now-- you can see improvement in him every day."
Etem didn't play the third period after suffering a lower-body injury in a collision with San Jose's Raffi Torres.
The Sharks are still getting their legs under them. They host the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday.
"It was what it was. It was a preseason game," Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle said. "I think there was definitely a lot of rust out there for a lot of guys. Some guys were a little better than that. Both the two new guys, Hertl and Kennedy, had some pretty good shifts out there. It was a little rusty, but we'll work and get better."

The GABAergic System. Edition No. 1
- August 2009
- 196 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
Despite modern technology, little is known about brain function and its relationship to the underlying neuronal activities in the presence of a mental workload. This strongly stands when attempting to dissect the nature of the functional responses to inhibitory modulation in the brain.This book therefore presents a metabolomic approach to study inhibitory GABAergic neurotransmission using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. It encompasses a metabolic fingerprint which maps targeted activity of the GABAergic system using multivariate statistics. This book introduces a new approach to the study of brain function, a methodology which has great potential for use in high throughput screening of new pharmacological tools. This also provides a fundamental basis for the interpretation of in vivo pharmacological and functional magnetic resonance imaging studies: GABAergic modulation has distinct metabolic patterns which should be taken into account when evaluating functional imaging data involving modulation of neuronal inhibition.

bi-directional slow moving motor? and then some...
August 10, 2011
As my username indicates I have many questions, I am very new to electronics, but I've done enough building/tinkering to feel comfortable attempting a fairly ambitions project... a very unconventional cuckoo clock. The first and most basic challenge I have is to have a motor turn 180 degrees very slowly, then back 180 at the same speed or faster. This would happen on the hour and involve additional actions such as door flaps opening and then closing, as well as sound to sync with the action.
To keep this basic for now, I'd really appreciate any help on what I might need to get started... are there special motors for slow rotation and fwd rev directions? do I need a motor driver in addition to a microcontroller? since it's for a clock it would have to be very durable and last a very long time...
Thanks for reading and for any advice you may be able to offer.
You will need:A motor driver
You will need:
A motor driver capable of PWM and able to handle the current of your motor
A Microcontroller (Arduino is a popular beginners choice)
A robust power source (9V batteries do not cut it!)
Some kind of encoder or Potentiometer to sense what angle the Motors at.
An alternative method is to use a servo, which specialize in this sort of movement range. You send them a 1-2ms pulse and they move accordingly. You send more pulses faster to speed it up or less to slow it down, and its bidirectional and has about 200 degrees range.
Honestly, this is all very
Honestly, this is all very precise work (if you want your clock to keep time). Maybe not the best starter project unless you are very, very good mechanically already.
Most electric clocks you buy have a packaged 'movement', which is a set of gears with the motor and battery compartment all in one. You can buy the movement and then build your clock around it if you want to go that route. I learned a bit about them with this experiment, which might be of interest to you for background. Read through the comments, especially those from Gareth, who is pretty darn talented.
If you want to build the clock movement yourself instead of using a kit, it takes some precision work to get the gears, motor and electronics all correct. How they do it in a packaged movement may provide you some good insight into what is needed.
Inside the clock movement is a very simple stepper motor. A stepper motor is not like a regular DC motor. I has multiple coils (each with wire leads) that need electrical pulses in a set order to move forward one 'step' at a time. Each step is a defined number of degrees. The stepper in a clock movement is very simple, with just one coil (so two electrical leads).
A quartz crystal oscillator and little electronics circuit drives the stepper at a very precise rate. Regardless of how you build your clock, controlling the rate the motor spins at is extremely important. Anyway, the motor drives a set of gears. The gear ratios are precisely designed so that one can drive a second hand, one can drive a minute hand, and one can drive an hour hand.
You could use an Arduino or other processor to drive a bigger stepper controller and motor and your own gearing. The movements that you want to create for your cuckoo clock can each be driven by different mechanical linkages and gears.
Don't take this the wrong
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you are in over your head with this project.
I strongly recommend that you start with something more simple. The Start Here robot is a good example. Or look through projects on makezine.com or instructables.com and find something that appeal to you. Everything is laid out for you, and you will learn a TON putting it all together. Once you have something like that under your belt, you can work up to the project of your dreams.
RC Servos or robot servos
Radio Control servos aka RC servos could do what you are asking. These servos are generally only used in specification for 90 to 120 or so degrees of travel, but when pulsed beyond spec can travel upwards of 200 degrees. Basic analog servos accept a 1 to 2 millisecond pulse repeated every 20 milliseconds. Digitals can accept different pules rates, but use a similar 1 to 2 ms pulse width. The position the servo ratates to corresponds with the pulse width sent to it. The pulse can be generated by a microcontroller or by analog circuitry, depending on the need. Servocity has some good servos to choose from.
Alternatively, robot servos such as Dynamixels could be used, as they are made for 180 degree and greater rotational use. These are commanded by a serial protocol, and can actually report back position information if needed.

Tablet of Destinies (mythic item)
In Mesopotamian mythology, the Tablet of Destinies (Sumerian: Dup Shimati; not, as frequently misquoted in general works, the Tablets of Destiny) was envisaged as a clay tablet inscribed with cuneiform writing, also impressed with cylinder seals, which, as a permanent legal document, conferred upon the god Enlil his supreme authority as ruler of the universe.
In the Sumerian poem Ninurta and the Turtle it is the god Enki, rather than Enlil, who holds the tablet.[1] Both this poem and the Akkadian Anzû poem share concern of the theft of the tablet by the bird Imdugud (Sumerian) or Anzû (Akkadian).[2] Supposedly, whoever possessed the tablet ruled the universe.[3] In the Babylonian Enuma Elish, Tiamat bestows this tablet on Kingu and gives him command of her army. Marduk, the chosen champion of the gods, then fights and destroys Tiamat and her army. Marduk reclaims the Tablet of Destinies for himself, thereby strengthening his rule among the gods.

Housing study finds cramped quarters in Walla Walla County
RICHLAND, Wash. – A new study says increasing numbers of families in Walla Walla County are living in overcrowded conditions.
Brien Thane is the executive director of the Washington Farmworker Housing Trust based in Olympia. He says the results of their organization's study show that Walla Walla County's housing market is tight, and there are a growing number of laborers.
That's because the southeast county is seeing an increase in tree fruit orchards. Thane says fruit trees require more labor than crops like wheat that are harvested with large machinery.
"We need a stable, healthy, thriving workforce to sustain our agricultural economy," Thane says.
He says farmworkers helped interview other farmworkers, to make subjects more comfortable and get accurate data.
Thane says studies were done also in Yakima and Skagit counties. He says similar conditions for farmworkers exist in those two counties as well.

Tools For Homestead Cleanup Day
On: Jan.18, 2013
In: Farming and Gardening
Leave a Comment
In the next few weeks some of my family members and some of my friends are meeting at the homestead for a cleanup day. The area we are cleaning up has not been used in close to 30 years. During that time various family members dropped off unwanted trash, such as a hot water heater, large box fan, tin, fence wire,,, and other odds and ends.
Pine trees, sweet gum and oak trees have been growing in this same area.
We have three things to take care of – clean the brush out, cut some small trees down and pull the metal trash out so it can be hauled to the recycler.
Stihl chainsaw with 18 inch bar
Chainsaw fuel and bar oil
Splitting maul
8 pound sledge hammer
Chains for pulling logs with the truck
Files – for sharpening axe and chainsaw
Work gloves
Ruger 10/22 for snakes
There is an oak tree down in the back of the field. The plan is to cut a 2 feet section of the trunk for a chopping block.
As we cut down some of the small pine trees, they will be cut into sections that can be split and thrown on the fire. Split wood burns better then non-split wood.
