DNA pioneer dies
Jul 30, 2004
The co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, Francis Crick, died on Wednesday aged 88. Crick shared the 1962 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins for their determination of the two-chain helical structure of DNA, the polymer from which genes are made. He also worked out how the information contained in DNA is used to build proteins and later went on to investigate consciousness.
Crick was born in Northampton, UK, in 1916. He received a degree in physics from University College London in 1937 but had his PhD research cut short by the outbreak of the Second World War. During the war he worked as a scientist for the British Admiralty and in 1947 joined Cambridge University to carry out research on biology.
After two years at the Strangeways Laboratory, he joined a team at the Cavendish physics laboratory headed by Max Perutz that was using X-ray diffraction to study protein structure. Then in 1951 he met the young American scientist James Watson, and two years later the pair published a short letter in Nature describing the structure of the DNA molecule. This work drew on X-ray diffraction data obtained by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins at King's College London.
Crick and Watson discovered that DNA is structured in two helical strands coiled around the same axis and held together by pairs of the four DNA bases -- adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. They realized that adenine always pairs with thymine and guanine is always linked with cytosine, which means that the ordering of the bases can be reproduced and that strands of DNA can therefore replicate themselves.
In contrast to Crick's reputation for being upfront and abrasive, the opening two lines of the Nature paper were distinctly understated. "We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA)," wrote Crick and Watson. "This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest."
Lord May, president of the Royal Society, says that "Francis Crick made an enormous contribution to science and his discoveries helped to usher in a golden age of molecular biology. His death is a sad loss to science."
Following his ground-breaking discovery, Crick spent the next 13 years working with Sydney Brenner on understanding how the sequence of base pairs within a DNA molecule is used to determine protein structure. In 1977 Crick moved to the Salk Institute in San Diego to work in the field of neurobiology, attempting to produce a scientific understanding of consciousness.

Some of you are overweight and you feel hopeless. I've been there.
You look at yourself in the mirror every day, and you don't like what you see. You hate the fact that you can't do things that you see other fit people doing. You can't wear the clothes you wish you could wear. You wonder if people judge you. You know some do. You want to change, but the idea of trying is overwhelming, you don't know where to start, or you've tried before and have failed, and you don't want to deal with another failure.
I've been there.
But… I'm not there anymore, and you don't have to be either.
I'm not selling a product, I telling you the truth. The truth is, YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE!
At my heaviest, I was 290 lbs. I couldn't believe that I had gotten to that point. I had become a food addict and a stress eater. I decided I wanted to change, and in a year, I lost about a 100 lbs from exercise and eating right. I then put about 60 or so lbs back on because I had no long term sustainable plan. I was bummed that all my hard work had been wasted, and that I let myself gain weight again. I made another decision a couple years later to try again to lose it. That brings us to now. This time I'm down 54 lbs in a matter of months, and I'm still going, only now, I have a long term plan. I'm making lifestyle changes, and I'm learning to love things I don't really like (eating healthy, exercise).
The truth is, I gave up on making excuses – my metabolism just isn't as good as other people's, I'm just not an athletic person, I have health problems, etc.
What I want you to hear today is that you can start RIGHT NOW and you can stop making excuses for yourself. Don't start tomorrow. Don't start next week. Don't wait for the new year. Your health and happiness is in your own hands. Take the first step, because only you can. Don't compare your progress to other people's progress. Claim every victory small or large. Take the first step. Find a reason. If it's not for yourself, do it for your family and friends. Every day you wait is a day wasted. Don't waste anymore!
Today, the unlete will hit the road for a three mile run. Today, that run is for all of you that desire a change. That run is going to scream "I CAN, AND I WILL!" I would love for you to join me in that resolve.
As this blog progresses, I hope to share a few success stories with you from friends of mine. They are proof that taking that first step can lead to change. For now, I will leave you with this quote that I think sums it all up:

Archaeological Garden
Adjacent to the hotel grounds, is a fascinating archeological site where artifacts and remnants dating as far back as the First Temple through the Byzantine eras were found. Visitors to the partially excavated site will be able to view the ruins of a Byzantine-era church, a Roman camp, as well as water cisterns and ritual baths from an earlier period.
Mitzpeh Rachel overlooks and takes its name from the tomb of the biblical Rachel, which is located just off the Jerusalem – Bethlehem road.

Yesteray I got to spend the day with Heidi and Ella on the old 'circle' catching up, and getting to observe Ella's three little ones(growing bigger every day) Hudson, Henry, and Nate in 3-D. I loved watching them play, and learning about their personalities! I was just thinking-I was that age when this friendship journey began. There is nothing more exciting than getting to see the future growing (in some of the same soil I had the pleasure of playing in as a child). I just feel at peace knowing there are three Christian warriors (with a fourth one on the way, perhaps a warriorette?) thanks to the roots begun by the Fergason's, and carried on through Ella and Brian, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, you name it! My favorite thing was getting to hear Hudson pray at lunch, so precious. Ella, I'm so impressed, and inspired by you and your family! I look forward to more frequent visits in the future!

Highway 140 near Yosemite remains closed
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. A wildfire burning outside Yosemite National Park is keeping a main highway closed, with no word when the roadway will be open again.
Fire officials say the blaze burning along Highway 140 has grown to more than 3,000 acres.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Mike Troxell says the highway remains closed from just east of the community of Mariposa to about four miles outside the park's gate.
He could not say when the highway would be open to traffic again.
Officials say the fire is not within the park, but is burning along the Merced River. They're suggesting tourists traveling to Yosemite take Highways 120 or 41 instead.
The Tioga Road is also open for visitors entering the park on Highway 395.

**This app does not fulfill tagging requirements for completion of the harvest log on the back of the license, required for the harvest of both turkey and white-tailed deer.
Latest Videos
This series details the biology, habitat requirements, and habitat management options for Eastern Wild Turkey.
An overview of the grassland restoration process, which benefits wildlife species that rely upon the structure and food resources provided.
Three Fast Turkey Facts:
If Wild Turkeys could smell, they'd be nearly impossible to hunt.
The eyes and ears of a turkey make it one of the toughest of all Texas game animals. Their vision is the keenest among all Texas game animals. They are especially astute at pinpointing movement and can hone in on noises from a mile away.
Wild Turkey Revival!
A hundred years ago, turkeys almost disappeared from Texas due to unregulated hunting and loss of habitat. Now, thanks to hunter and landowner support, bag limits and a restocking program, they are making a steady comeback.
Where the Wild Turkeys are.
Turkeys now inhabit 223 of the 254 counties in Texas. You can see them roam at many Texas State Parks. One of the most substantial and oldest winter turkey roosts is at South Llano River State Park near Junction. Want to bag your own turkey? You can hunt for them on many of our Wildlife Management Areas and other public hunting lands.

Stocks to Watch: Seagate, Transocean and More
By Corrie Driebusch and Ian Thomson
Stocks to watch this morning include Seagate Technology, Transocean and more.
Seagate Technology issued an improved revenue outlook Monday for the current quarter and said it expects its component suppliers to ship enough parts for the hard-disk drive company to significantly ramp up shipments next year. Shares climbed 8.3% to $17.32 premarket.
Transocean said it is offering 26 million shares of its common stock as the offshore oil drilling company looks to raise funds to help refinance a recent acquisition. Shares were down 6.4% to $43 in premarket trade before the market open as the company said the offering represents up to 8.9% of its total issued and outstanding shares.
Tiffany's fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 63% as solid sales growth in each of the company's geographic regions helped the luxury jewelry retailer post results ahead of expectations. Shares were off 7% to $68.49 a share in premarket trade as the company predicted earnings for the current quarter that missed what is expected by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Central European Distribution Corp. reported a 9.9% stake in Central European Distribution, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the filing, Russian Standard said it acquired the stake as a "strategic investment" because Central European Distribution operates in segments complementary to its premium spirits business, wine and low and mid-priced vodka, and has strong positions in the Eastern European spirits market. Shares of Central European Distribution jumped 8.8% to $3.70 in premarket trading on the news.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services cut Netflix Inc.'s junk-grade credit rating by a notch Monday, saying the company's aggressive expansion plans will hurt its profitability as its subscriber growth decelerates. S&P now rates the online-video service at double-B-minus, three steps below investment-grade territory. Its outlook is stable. Netflix shares slipped 0.6% to $69.55 premarket.

Dallas police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying two suspects they say are involved in two recent aggravated robberies of local businesses.
Police say the first robbery occurred around noon on July 2, when two suspects entered a T-Mobile store in the 2600 block of Fort Worth Avenue.
The two suspects, who police say are Hispanic males, were armed, wearing masks and long-sleeved clothing.
One suspect was captured on surveillance camera binding one employee, while the other suspect took a second employee to a back room.
They took off with $40,000 worth of phones.
The second robbery took place on July 13 around 7 p.m., when police say the two suspects approached the owner of an Import Warehouse and three of his employees on the 11000 block of Harry Hines Boulevard.
The suspects approached the victims as they were waiting outside the store, according to police. They say the suspects were again armed, wearing masks and long-sleeved clothing.
Maj. Jeff Cotner, from the Crimes Against Persons Division said that just like in the first robbery, the victims were subdued by the suspects.
"They dominated the victims and took away the employees ability to call 911," said Maj. Cotner.
He declined to say how the victims were subdued in this specific case.
Police say they stole $400,000 worth of property and then fired one round into the ground, but declined to comment on what type of gun they believe the round came from.
The suspects can be seen on surveillance camera loading the property into a stolen minivan, driven by a third suspect.
The driver of the getaway car then drove to a separate location, where the suspects left the minivan and got into an older model, light-colored Lincoln Navigator, possibly with paper tags.
Police say the suspects also used a stolen getaway car in the first robbery.
Maj. Jeff Cotner said he believes the suspects are becoming more dangerous.
"They are more brazen and aggressive in the way they handled the victims in the second offense," said Cotner. "It's concerning."
Police are asking that anyone with information to contact Det. A. Nordyke of the Robbery Unity at 214-671-3638 or CrimeStoppers at 214-373-8477.
CrimeStoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrests and indictment of the suspects.

Alphabet soup of senior adviser designations confuses consumers, says federal consumer watchdog
The myriad of senior designations for financial advisers confuses consumers, with no single authority responsible for ensuring that those using senior designations don't mislead or harm seniors, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
There are more than 50 different senior designations, said the agency, which released a report today on Senior Designations for Financial Advisers.
The designations include Certified Senior Advisor, Chartered Advisor for Senior Living and Certified Financial Gerontologist.
"These designations can confuse older consumers, who are already at risk for deception and fraud," the bureau said. "Senior designations vary widely in terms of training required, from rigorous college-level coursework to weekend seminars. Consumers have no simple, clear means to distinguish among these designations."
The bureau's recommendations include:
• Having state and federal regulators implement "rigorous criteria" for acquiring senior designations, including specific standards for education, training and accreditation.
• Increasing supervision and enforcement. The bureau said federal and state regulators should consider toughening current supervision and enforcement against misleading conduct by a holder of a senior designation.
• Setting strict standards of conduct for those using senior designations.
The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, which grants the CFP certification, supports the bureau's recommendations.
"These recommendations mark an important step toward addressing the proliferation of designations, certifications and titles used to mislead, confuse and deceive America's seniors," said Kevin R. Keller, the board's chief executive. "We fully support the bureau in its efforts to shine a light on this significant problem and hope policymakers and regulators will quickly implement these common sense recommendations to better protect older Americans."

NEW: Please take a moment to evaluate our birth defects risk factor series. Click here to take survey.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs when the diaphragm is incompletely formed and the abdominal contents herniate into the chest. Infants with diaphragmatic hernia often have additional birth defects, including chromosomal abnormalities (Forrester 1998, Robert 1997, Cannon 1996, Howe 1996, Langham 1996, Torfs 1992, Wenstrom 1991, Adzick 1985, David 1976). Most diaphragmatic hernias occur on the left side of the body (Forrester 1998, Robert 1997, Howe 1996). The main issue with diaphragmatic hernia is that the abdominal organs invade the chest cavity. This leads to lung hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Additionally, these infants often have congenital heart defects that complicate their condition (Cohen 2002).
Several studies have investigated the relationship of race/ethnicity in risk for diaphragmatic hernia and failed to find any significant effect (Forrester 1998, Robert 1997, Langham 1996, Torfs 1992).
There has been some indication that maternal weight may affect the presence of diaphragmatic hernia. Very thin or underweight women are more likely to have infants that manifest this defect (Waller 2003). However, this was not found to be the case for overweight or obese women.
Secular trends have been reported by several investigations (Forrester 1998, Torfs 1992). However, the trends were neither consistent nor statistically significant. One study observed seasonal variation in diaphragmatic hernia rates; however, this variation differed among types of diaphragmatic hernia (Torfs 1992). Moreover, another investigation failed to identify any seasonal variation (Castilla 1990).
Diaphragmatic hernia can be detected prenatally with ultrasonography (Langham, 1996; Vintzileos, 1987). As a result, prenatal diagnosis and elective termination may affect birth prevalence rates for this defect (Forrester 1998, Cannon 1996, Howe 1996, Torfs 1992, Adzick 1985).
Prevalence of diaphragmatic hernia has been reported to vary by geographic location, with rates being higher in rural than urban areas (Forrester 1998, Torfs, 1992).
Maternal age does not appear to influence risk for diaphragmatic hernia (Forrester 1998, Robert 1997, Torfs 1992, David 1976); nor does parity (Robert 1997, Torfs 1992, David 1976). Diaphragmatic hernia risk appears to be higher among multiple births (Robert 1997, Torfs 1992). The recurrence risk of a woman having another infant with diaphragmatic hernia has been reported to be 0.9-2% (Torfs 1992); however, the rate of recurrence is unknown for women with previous unaffected pregnancies.
Infant sex is associated with diaphragmatic hernia risk; males are more likely than females to have the defect (Robert 1997, Torfs 1992, Rasheed 1992, Buyse 1990, Rose-Spencer 1981).
One investigation examined various maternal and environmental factors in relation to diaphragmatic hernia and found no increased risk for maternal thyroid dysfunction or occupational and environmental chemicals, although an herbicide, Nitrofen, has been found to induce diaphragmatic hernia in rats (Bos 1994).
Another study reported a higher than expected diaphragmatic hernia prevalence among infants whose mothers had epilepsy, although this increased risk may be associated with anticonvulsants usage (Holmes 2002, Bertollini 1985). In general, the use of anticonvulsant drugs increases the risk of most birth defects, both when the mother is on a single anti-epileptic drug and when she is on a combination of drugs (Vajda 2002, Holmes 2001, Matalon 2001).
No information was available about the relationship between folic acid or multivitamin intake and diaphragmatic hernia. However, there was one study that indicated that Vitamin A might reduce the likelihood of this defect to women exposed to Nitrofen (Thebaud 1999).
No association has been found between diaphragmatic hernia and the use of marijuana (Fried 2002), antihistamine drugs (Kallen 2002), fluoxetine (Prozac™) (Chambers 1996), or corticosteroids (Park-Wyllie 2000).
There has been no association observed between diaphragmatic hernia and maternal diabetes (Wang 2002).
Birth prevalence in the United States for diaphragmatic hernia ranges between 0.91 and 5.82 per 10,000 live births (National Birth Defects Prevention Network 2005). The rate in Texas for 1999-2002 deliveries was 2.68 cases per 10,000 live births. Differences in prevalence may be due to differences in case inclusion criteria and/or regional differences in diagnostic practices.

Used D3 - red flags?
Hi all -
I have the opportunity to buy a used D3 for about $2500. It's been in service just under a year and has taken about 70,000 shots.
I've been testing it out for the last 24 hours and have noticed two potential issues. I would truly appreciate your input on whether or not these would be red flags to you - or if they are just quirks that many experience with the D3:
1. Metering selector dial - for some reason, it is incredibly difficult to push this back into the spot metering position. It really wants to stay at matrix metering and can take a couple of tries (pushes) to get into into spot metering mode. (Yes I am holding down the release button in the middle as I do this!)
2. Main command dial - sometimes when this "clicks" as I spin it, it registers the desired change (such as adding a + or - on exposure compensation) but sometimes it takes a couple of clicks in order for the desired adjustment to be made and to register.
Does anyone have any thoughts on these two issues? Are they a red flag that this body hasn't been treated well and might therefore have issues, or are these unsurprising quirks that happen often?
MANY thanks in advance for your input!

I've been shooting with a D3 for the past five years. I have never experienced what you are describing. In fact the most remarkable aspect of my D3 is that it has been totally free of glitches or other unusual behavior.
#2. "RE: Used D3 - red flags?" | In response to Reply # 0briantilley Nikonian since 26th Jan 2003Wed 19-Sep-12 07:18 PM
It is unlikely that a D3 has been in use for only one year. This model was discontinued when the D3s was launched in late 2009; there may have been some left in the supply chain for a few months after that, but I suspect none were available for purchase new two years later.

Hi Amanda,
Welcome to Nikonians!
The less than a year old raises a Red Flag for the reason Brian mentioned above, unless the seller purchased it used or maybe refurbished.
My D3 will be 5 years old at the end of November. It has significantly more shutter actuations and does not have any quirks or issues what-so-ever.
While I suspect that other bodies have had the same or similar issues, they are Not common problems with the D3 series bodies.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,

"Because the original or earliest generic title elements of Lebrun's concertos cannot be adequately reconstructed from reference sources (MGG, New Grove, etc.), use the number sequence (1-7) of the set published by Sieber in Paris for the oboe/flute concertos associated with the set, and construct uniform titles as if these concertos were originally published as a set. Note that the original medium for the accompanying ensemble varies and that nos. 1 and 6 may have originally been intended for flute" — Library of Congress

> I am thinking about a running a script with following steps:
How about, instead of that, do this:
- Transfer cluster(s) to the system, into say /var/tmp
- reboot into single-user mode
- have a script in the appropriate rc?.d directory called "S74autopatch"
or similar, which blows up the zip file, cd's into the directory, and
does an ./install_cluster, then removes itself and reboots the box.
> Does anyone have experience doing this?
Not that, but I've been doing the above for a while and it doesn't suck.
Need to watch 'em in case something goes wrong, but you can patch a
dozen or so at a time just by dropping autopatch in, getting the zip
file to /var/tmp, and doing an init s as root.
Make sure you get autopatch into the right order; you need file systems
mounted, and so on.

Obama's Munich
September 15, 2013
In August 2012, President Obama inadvertently set America up for war: He said that if Syria crossed a "red line" by using chemical weapons, that would amount to a "game changer....
Yes, it seems that Syria and Russia played us but this does give us an out. While it may be embarrassing it is far better than getting involved in a Syrian civil war. Now if only we could convince our government to stop sending money, weapons and other support to the terrorists, oops, I mean rebels.

Grilling your corn in the husk is a summertime must
There are lots of good recipes for preparing fresh corn. One of the best is grilling corn on the cob in its husk. Simply throw the ears on the grill in one layer and cover. The corn steams in its husk and picks up a mild smokiness from the grill.

SALEM — The Oregon House has passed two bills targeting protesters who chain themselves to machinery or block roads to interfere with logging operations in state forests.
One bill would make it a crime to interfere with logging. A first offense would be a misdemeanor and subsequent offenses would be felonies.
The other bill would allow logging companies to sue demonstrators who interfere.
Anti-logging demonstrations stretch back to the 1980s, when people began protesting logging old-growth forests on federal lands. They picked up again in 2011, when demonstrators protested increased logging in the Elliott State Forest.
A judge has since blocked logging in Elliott stands occupied by the marbled murrelet — a threatened seabird that nests in old-growth forests — while a challenge from conservation groups moves through court.

Description: REDUCED SHIPPING FOR ITEMS UNDER $50
- Pirates are irresistible, and in McNaughton's third Captain Abdul adventure, they're particularly wonderful. When Captain Abdul's disgruntled wife leaves a treasure chest on board The Golden Behind, the crew is shocked to find Abdul's little son, the "treasure" of the title, hidden inside. With Abdul "sooperavizin'," babysitting quickly replaces the crew's more typical activities, and pretty soon the "hairy and scary" pirates warm to their task. They laugh at each of Little Treasure's antics, especially when he mispronounces dinner ("Swossages!"), and miss him mightily when he is gone, but everyone cheers up when all the pirate wives send their babies as replacements. The watercolor-and-ink pictures are scrumptious, all eye patches and wild hair, and there's lots of amusing, vernacular pirate talk ("Ooh-aargh, ye swabs!") to enliven read-alouds.
- Flourishes such as word-balloons, varied typefaces, and parodies of sea shanties and nursery rhymes add to the gleeful chaos.
- Recommended ages: 4-8 years.
- Hardcover with 48 pages.
- Written and illustrated by Colin McNaughton.

text: The stratigraphy of the South-Pole Aitken basin (SPA) interior is consistent with that of a massive impact melt sheet that differentiated to form cumulates. Spectroscopic and geophysical constraints on the stratigraphy of SPA suggest a ~12.5 km thick layer of norite above ultramafic pyroxenite and dunite layers. A similar stratigraphy is produced from differentiation by crystal settling of a ~50 km thick impact melt sheet (lunar impact melt sheets >10 km thick likely undergo differentiation by crystal settling) formed by an oblique impact (and thus containing ~20 vol. % crustal material) into a lunar mantle that has undergone cumulate overturn. Impact melt differentiation accounts for geophysical (nonzero crustal thickness) and geochemical (~2 ppm Th) anomalies in SPA and has implications for SPA sample return strategy. We explore the implications of these results for other lunar basins and the lunar sample suite.

Dallas Crime Watch: Wednesday, February 22, 2012
A sampling of crime, courts and public safety news in and around Dallas:
•Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez said Tuesday that she will soon begin charging certain jail inmates for their basic medical expenses, a practice common in some other states and a few Texas counties.
•A state district judge is set to declare today a Dallas man innocent of the murder and attempted murder for which the man spent 14 years in prison, the Associated Press reports. State District Judge Andy Chatham will read the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruling of "actual innocence" for Richard Miles.
•A Corsicana man who abducted his former neighbor and tortured the woman while holding her captive for nearly two weeks was convicted Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. Jeffrey Allan Maxwell, 59, faces up to life in prison after being found guilty of aggravated kidnapping and two counts of aggravated sexual assault.
•Every train operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit will be patrolled by a uniformed DART officer or armed security guard for the foreseeable future, officials said Tuesday in taking an aggressive stand against crime. The unprecedented move follows "three homicides in 76 days," in the words of DART Police Chief James Spiller.
•A second Dallas County sheriff's deputy has been indicted on felony charges in connection with federal money he was paid for overtime traffic patrols. Johnny Quarles Jr., 31, was charged Tuesday with seven counts of tampering with a government document with intent to defraud, a state felony punishable by up to two years in prison. Last week, Sgt. Derce Kirby was indicted on six counts of the same charge.
•A Dallas County prosecutor held in contempt by a criminal court judge feuding with District Attorney Craig Watkins has filed a complaint against the judge with the State Commission on Judicial Ethics. The prosecutor, Keena Miller, wrote in the complaint obtained Tuesday by The Dallas Morning News that "there was not a seed of judicial decency in the acts" by Judge Julia Hayes and that "discipline of Judge Hayes is warranted and necessary."

Manufactured Gas Plants
Former Daly City Manufactured Gas Plant
The former Daly City manufactured gas plant was located at the current site of PG&E's Martin Service Center at 731 Schwerin Street in Daly City. Investigation and remediation of gas plant residues was completed at the service center property in 2008 and at the adjacent Midway Village housing complex in 2003.
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) monitors site conditions to determine that remedies put in place continue to be protective of public health and the environment. Reports are available from the most recent reviews, conducted in 2010 at Martin Service Center and in 2008 at Midway Village.
PG&E is currently conducting substation upgrades on the Martin Service Center property, which will include additional construction activities in 2011. The public is notified by mail of any activities that temporarily disturb the protective cap put in place as part of the remedial work. All activities are conducted under DTSC oversight to ensure there is no public exposure to gas plant residues.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's (SFPUC) water main replacement project will include work beneath Martin Service Center, anticipated for March 2012. Construction activities will be performed over a period of six months.
PG&E operated the former Daly City manufactured gas plant from 1908 until 1913, dismantling it in 1916. The federal government acquired the former gas plant property in 1944 and used soils from the property to fill an adjacent parcel where it built a wartime housing complex. In the 1970s, the buildings were torn down and San Mateo County constructed the Midway Village public housing complex on the property. PG&E reacquired the Martin Service Center property in the 1970s.

Stetzel,I agree with every word you said. We found long lost friends on Facebook. Fot sure it is more secure than other sites. Beema,did you ever Google your name and see,what comes up.?

The real problem weighing on the stock market is uncertainty surrounding what a Fed interest rate hike would actually mean, BlackRock's Peter Fisher tells CNBC.
The Fed should increase rates at next month's meeting because it won't hurt the economy and the financial markets are ready, global credit specialist Mark Okada tells CNBC.
Target delivered quarterly earnings and revenue that beat expectations. "They are refocusing on the core business," retail analyst Joseph Feldman says.
Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure came out swinging on CNBC in his war of words with rival T-Mobile's John Legere.
The valuations of private companies worth $1 billion or more may come up short some day, Greycroft founder Alan Patricof tells CNBC.
The Fed may have missed its window for an interest rate hike, former Fed Gov. Larry Lindsey tells CNBC, because the economy is getting worse not better.
Former GOP presidential candidate Steve Forbes says Donald Trump is a net-positive for Republicans, even with his controversial comments and policies.
China's currency devaluation shouldn't be an excuse for the Fed to delay raising U.S. interest rates, former Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher says.
With global dealmaking this year expected to exceed the record levels of 2007, Lazard Vice Chairman Gary Parr tells CNBC why he's not worried about froth.
Presidential hopeful Lindsey Graham says Donald Trump has tapped into frustration with Washington, but called his rival's policies "gibberish."

Countdown to CARA: On to the Senate!
September 7 was an important day for the nation's autism community as Congress began the effort to renew the landmark 2006 Combating Autism Act. By unanimous voice vote, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee moved S.1094, a bill which would renew the act for another three years, out of committee and on to the full Senate for a floor vote. While an important step, the HELP vote was just the first of several that Congress will need to complete by September 30 when the law expires.
To keep up the momentum, it is important that advocates urge those U.S. Senators who have yet to cosponsor S.1094, the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (CARA), to do so immediately. Nearly a third of the Senate has signed on to the bill, including five new cosponsors this week, but we need more. Visit our CARA Action Center to learn how.
Getting the bill voted out of the HELP committee required that a quorum of 12 Senators were in attendance. An intensive grassroots efforts by Autism Speaks through the Labor Day weekend helped ensure that 14 members attended and all voted to approve the bill for consideration by the full Senate. When that vote will occur is uncertain.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, the CARA bill (HR.2005) similarly must first move out of the Energy & Commerce Committee before it can go to a full vote on the House floor. But before the committee acts, it must receive confirmation from Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), as the House Majority Leader, that he will allow the bill to go to a floor vote. Autism Speaks has launched a radio ad campaign in Rep. Cantor's home district (Richmond-Harrisonburg) encouraging him to support CARA. Leader Cantor was a co-sponsor of the 2006 CAA, serves on the Congressional Autism Caucus and has attended Walk Now for Autism Speaks events in the past.
The original 2006 act authorized nearly $1 billion of federal spending through 2011 on biomedical and treatment research on autism. CARA would continue funding at current levels, authorizing $693 million over the next three years, without adding to the federal debt. The 2006 law was critical by establishing autism as a national health priority. Federal funding was increased by virtue of the 2006 law, leading to significant advances in the understanding of autism. The CAA required the federal government to develop a strategic plan to expand and better coordinate the nation's support for persons with autism and their families. Important research findings have resulted, critical studies are underway and promising new interventions have been developed for children with autism, helping them to lead more independent lives, thereby reducing the need for publicly funded special education and social services.
Once a final bill is voted out of Congress, it goes to President Obama who has promised to sign a reauthorization bill this year. ALL of these steps must be completed by September 30 when the original act expires. To track the progress of the CARA legislation, visit the CARA home page at Autism Votes.
Countdown to CARA: Step One on Sept. 7
With just a month to go, time is running short for Congress to renew the landmark Combating Autism Act of 2006. A critical first step arrives Wednesday September 7 when the U.S. Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee takes up S.1094, the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act of 2011(CARA.)
It is essential that a sufficient number of committee members attend the September 7 meeting and then vote to send the CARA bill on to the full Senate for a floor vote. Visit our CARA Champions page here to:
1) find out if your Senator is a member of the HELP Committee
2) make sure they have RSVP'd to attend this critical hearing and
3) find out how to encourage them to RSVP if they have not.
Meanwhile, the U.S. House of Representatives must also vote its version of the CARA bill (HR.2005) out of the Energy & Commerce Committee and on to a floor vote. Once these steps are taken, the House and the Senate must agree on a final version of the CARA bill before it can be sent to President Obama for his signature. This is a lot of work! And it all has to get done by September 30!
Why is this so important? The enactment of the Combating Autism Act (CAA) in 2006 was an historic moment for our community as it has guided the federal government's response to the staggering rise in autism across the United States. Because of the CAA, Congress was able to invest nearly $1 billion in federal resources through 2011 on biomedical and treatment research on autism. The law required the federal government to develop a strategic plan to expand and better coordinate the nation's support for persons with autism and their families. Important research findings have resulted and critical studies are underway. Promising new interventions are making a difference in our children's lives. For more CAA success stories, click here.
The CARA bill is sponsored in the Senate (S.1094) by Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Michael Enzi (R-WY,) and in the U.S. House of Representatives (HR.2005) by Congressmen Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Mike Doyle (D-PA.) CARA would continue the work started under the CAA for another three years and authorize Congress to dedicate another $693 million exclusively to autism research and treatment. To date, 23 other Senators and 61 House members have signed on as cosponsors, and President Obama has promised to sign a reauthorization bill this year.
Visit our CARA Action Center to find if your Senators and Representative are cosponsors. If they are not cosponsors, find out how you can get them to sign on.
Since the original Combating Autism Act was approved in 2006 with near-unanimous support in Congress and signed into law by then President George W. Bush, the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) has risen to 1 in 110 American children – including 1 in 70 boys. An estimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. are affected by autism, and government statistics suggest the prevalence rate is increasing 10-17 percent annually. America clearly must step up its response to autism. The responsibility lies with Congress and the answer is passing CARA.

Ubuntu Server Survey - How Do You Ubuntu?
Earlier this month, Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, launched this year's How Do You Ubuntu? server survey to gather information from Ubuntu server users. If you haven't taken the survey yet, you have until Tuesday, February 1, 2011.
This year marks the the third consecutive year for the Ubuntu Server Survey, and the 2010 survey are available on Canonical's Blog site. This year's How Do You Ubuntu? server survey will be used gather information that will be used to improve future product releases, prioritize feature requests, guide partnerships to add technologies and drive the focus at the next Ubuntu Developer Summit in May 2011.
Does your opinion really matter? Yes, according to Gerry Carr, Director of Communications at Canonical. "The decision to stay with KVM was confirmed by strong polling of use in the survey," Carr says.
What was the most surprising result to come from previous surveys? "The openness to cloud and the degree of awareness of it as something Ubuntu did when we first asked the questions," Carr says. "We were expecting fairly low awareness and little use or exploration, but the numbers were actually pretty strong." He says, "It will be interesting to see where they develop this time around."
According to Carr, the survey results should help both the community and corporations that use Ubuntu. "We have added some questions on Ubuntu Advantage this time around, as we need to know what the awareness is and what people want from it," he says. "The rest of the survey is about core technologies in the product and helps everyone involved know what people are actually using."
If you want to take the "How Do You Ubuntu?" Server Survey, you have until Tuesday, February 1, 2011.

Big Poppy
by Ted Hughes
Stanza 6 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 15
A fly, cool, rests on the flame-fringe.
- We've been more or less consistent with stanzas up until this point – now we get a tiny, one-line thing hanging out in the middle of the poem. What's up with that?
- One of the things a one-line stanza does to a poem is slow it way down. You have to pause before you get to the one line, read just one line, and then pause again right away. After all that talk of hotness and fierceness, this little line might just be what the poem needs to keep it from going entirely crazy!
- So. We've slowed down…for what? A fly, apparently.
- The fly, in direct contrast to everything that's been happening up until this point, is "cool," further slowing and balancing the motion of the poem.
- So now there are two bugs – the bee buzzing around hotly inside the flower, and the fly, almost indifferently, pausing for a minute on the edge of one petal.
- That petal, by the way, is probably the "flame fringe," what with all the talk of heat we've just been doing.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
by Tennessee Williams
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Page.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue. We used the New Directions edition of the play, published in 1971.
Quote #1
Her voice has range, and music; sometimes it drops low as a boy's and you have a sudden image of her playing boy's games as a child. (I.21.97-99)
Here we see clearly Maggie's ability to seem both girly and boyish. In order to survive, she must take charge and take care of Brick, and she must also use her feminine wiles to charm and manipulate others. She transgresses the stereotypical gender role assigned to her when she finds that the role does not aid her in her plan to secure wealth, security, and a baby.
Quote #2
And he can't stand Brother Man and Brother Man's wife, that monster of fertility, Mae […] (I.22.137-138)
Fertility becomes associated with monstrosity in Cat. Fertility is not only represented through Mae and Gooper's ability to deliver six children to the world, but it is also reflected in the plantation itself. Big Daddy tells us his land is the richest and most fertile land west of the Nile, but the fertility of the land is also tied up with the economic system and society that produced slavery.
Quote #3
Way he always drops his eyes down my body when I'm talkin' to him, drops his eyes to my boobs an' licks his old chops! Ha ha! (I.23.162-164)
Maggie is very aware of the ways in which she can use her body and her looks to get what she wants. She understands that her role in society is to look good; in many ways she adheres to this role, while also using it to further her own campaigns.

BOSTON -- Out of the lineup again Sunday, Shane Victorino has missed the entire four-game series against the Houston Astros. He's no lock to be in the lineup on Tuesday at Toronto, either, given the way the turf at Rogers Centre can wreak havoc on back injuries.
"We're hopeful that, the upcoming series, he will be available to us," Boston manager John Farrell said.
At this point, the Red Sox are in no rush to put Victorino on the 15-day disabled list. If the team were to make that move, they'd disqualify Victorino through May 10, and they're not ready to do that yet.
"In talking with Ben (Cherington), when you start to get into more than half of what the 15-day DL period would be, then you've really got to look at making a decision on a roster," Farrell said. "At that point, being able to retroactive the injury date. We're still a few days away from that."
In the meantime, Daniel Nava has become the everyday right fielder with Mike Carp and Jonny Gomes splitting time in left field. That Nava has developed into a defender the Red Sox can trust to play right field at Fenway Park is remarkable given where he was when he first broke into the major leagues in 2010.
"It speaks a lot about what he's done personally and the work he's put in," Farrell said. "I don't even think twice about putting his name in the lineup. He's a very good player."

The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra
by William Shakespeare
The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra Act III, Scene iv Summary
- Back in Athens at Antony's house, Antony complains to Octavia of Caesar's behavior since their departure. Caesar has broken their pact and waged war against Pompey, not to mention he has railed against Antony in public.
- Octavia laments that she's monkey in the middle of this mess, and she pleads with him not to believe the reports against her brother. She wouldn't know whom to support in a quarrel between her brother and her husband.
- Antony tells her not to fear; he'll win back his honor by raising a war against Caesar.
- He sends his wife back to Rome to be with her brother (and ostensibly make peace between them) while he prepares for war with Caesar.

Recast workforce in Fla. earning less | Aug. 5
Manufacturing is key to success
This article reaffirms that job creation in Florida and most of the country is ailing. Service sector jobs produce absolutely nothing of value, are low-paying, and are often menial. This trend is a disaster. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, American manufacturing workers are now forced to compete with China's average wage of 81 cents an hour and Mexico's average of $2.92 an hour.
Some corporate CEOs and their paid politicians fail to understand the significance of the disappearance of the American middle class. It will negatively affect their bottom line sooner or later. Why? Americans will not have the money to buy their products regardless of the price.
CEOs and politicians could learn from Henry Ford. In 1914, Ford paid his works $5 a day so that they could afford to buy his Model T car. Ninety-nine years later, Florida's minimum is only $2.79 higher at $7.79.
Returning manufacturing jobs to the United States will greatly improve the lives of workers, increase jobs, improve the economy and, in the end, corporate profits.

Smart, social and captive | Aug. 4, Perspective
Stop breeding orcas
Thank you for this article on orcas in captivity. Orca captivity generates large profits for companies like SeaWorld. However, life in a shallow concrete tank causes shockingly short life spans.
To keep these valuable captive animals alive, it is common to administer ongoing prophylactic medications such as those that reduce stomach acid production and block histamine. Also, antibiotics are often the immediate response to an animal appearing "off." The deleterious effects of chronic antibiotic usage are well established.
Killer whales can swim a hundred miles a day in the wild. In captivity they spend many hours without significant movement. The obvious change is seen in the bending of the dorsal fin.
Orcas are carnivores, not scavengers. In the wild they consume a large variety of live prey items. In captivity they are fed essentially the same dead fish daily which makes them more susceptible to vitamin deficiencies.
Approximately 50 percent of the orcas born in marine parks since 1977 have died. SeaWorld has lost at least 10 mothers.
Scientifically and morally, the answer is to stop breeding orcas. The life we force on these animals is cruel and pathetic.

Pasco's gain is Florida's loss | Aug. 7, editorial
He represented the people
How sad to hear that state Rep. Mike Fasano is leaving the Legislature to become Pasco County's new tax collector. The Republicans are delighted because he is to my knowledge the only one in that party to represent the people who elected him.
I wish him all the best in his new job, but I will miss someone who cares about me and others like me.

Tampa plans for Rays move | Aug. 7
Suddenly, there's money
It is comforting to know that Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and Hillsborough Commissioner Ken Hagan will apply a stringent cost-benefit analysis to the Rays stadium project. Let's hope it is as thorough as what was done for the new Bass ProShop and the decision process regarding keeping city swimming pools open a little longer.
Buckhorn proudly announces the addition of two more code inspectors in next year's budget to root out slumlords and blight. Cue nice photo op.
Now, surprisingly, there is money everywhere for a new stadium, according to our prominent land use attorney. Fools and their money are about to be parted.

Layoffs hit online school | Aug. 8
Bashing brick and mortar
So the state Legislature has changed the funding formula for virtual schools, resulting in "less money (given to schools) for each student who takes an online class."
Let's see, the requirements for graduation include, "Beginning with students entering grade 9 in the 2011-12 school year, at least one course within the 24 credits required in this subsection must be completed through online learning." Just another way to take money away from our brick and mortar schools. Well played, state Legislature, well played.

Transit fuels attendance
The only way baseball — or any major sport — is going to survive in our area is with complete cooperation of all the areas within reach of the playing field. So far we have been acting like a bunch of isolated and self-sufficient ninnies.
I believe that baseball and football could both thrive in the Tampa Bay area if we had something we should have had years ago: good, comprehensive rapid transit. Without it, Tampa should not waste its time and money on baseball. They cannot even fill the football stadium.

This is a question that has been grasping my attention for some time now.
How old is Thor?

Don't think there is an exact age, but I'd guess that current Thor is several thousands of years old.

We see him in 893 AD in viking-era Scandinavia in the first issue of God of Thunder so that puts him at being at least 1,120 years old. Considering he is visibly an adult during that time and taking into account the general lack of aging seen from 893 to the 21st century it is safe to assume that he could be thousands of years already by the time he was worshiped by the vikings. Its also not out of the realm of possibilities for Thor to be in the millions of years age range though either. I would think Odin has surely been around that long. In the RTK story arc I think, its shown that the forging of Mjolnir by order of Odin was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. We can only really be sure that Thor is at least 2,000 years old in my opinion. I would guess much more though.

The consensus seems to be "severeal thousands of years old." Regardless, he makes Cap look like a newborn.
Thor is inconsistent years old. So many different writers, so many different stories, so many that conflict with each other. I mean in some stories we have an adult and mature Thor around in ancient Egypt, but some other stories, he is young and brash in 1000 AD. Do you also include Ragnarok cycles? From what I remember the was a Ragnarok around 4000 years ago. Then again the process of creating Mjolnir supposedly killed the dinosaurs as well, 65 million years ago... so... my best answer is Inconsistent. Throw in the whole Ragnorak cycle and mystical/mythological nature of Thor and I reckon anyone (writers included) could make up their own answer (provided its closer to being "old" than "young") and be right, naturally accepting that other people could assert other answers and also be right too.
