Brett Hull can breathe easier as Bob Sturm, Dan McDowell and Donovan Lewis to remain at The Ticket
On Friday and all through the weekend it appeared Bob Sturm and Dan McDowell days at KTCK-AM (The Ticket) were over: They passed out hugs and I-love-yous to colleagues on their air — "just in case," said McDowell, cryptically — then went silent as it looked like they could wind up moving to 105.3 The Fan. Long story short: Their contract with The Ticket expired Sunday, and The Fan was offering the mid-day slot and enough money to take the offer very, very seriously.
But that move isn't meant to be: Last night Sturm tweeted that BaD Radio will remain right where it is — sandwiched between Norm Hitzges and The Hardline on The Ticket.
"We are staying home for years to come," wrote Sturm. "In the end, just can't leave you or our brothers or the special thing we have all built."
If nothing else, that will make Brett Hull very, very happy.
The station will make a formal announcement concerning their extension later today. In the meantime, enjoy:

Motion In Pictures
This choreography has developed out of a 10 week course in contemporary dance technique and creative movement, led by choreographer and artistic director, Ruth Jones.
The project has linked up with the Adult Visual Art Course at The Lowry and has addressed dance as a visual art- involving drawing of the dancers during the devising process and will involve live drawing on stage.

The Daily Start-Up: Japan's GREE Buys Pokelabo, Maintaining Aggressive Growth Strategy
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Japanese Internet media titan GREE has purchased social mobile-gaming company Pokelabo for $175 million cash. The purchase marks the continuation of GREE's aggressive growth-through-acquisition strategy, and is a stark contrast with Zynga, which is retrenching now that it has lost three-quarters of its market value since going public in December. For Pokelabo investors DCM and Japanese firm Incubate Fund, it's a sweet 6X return on $11 million invested back in 2010.
There's no shortage of buzz about Hadoop–the open-source technology that's practically synonymous with "big data"–and this week was no exception as several start-ups announced new products aimed at growing the nascent market. Cloudera and Hortonworks, the two companies most directly focused on building Hadoop, announced new products, and Continuuity and Platfora emerged from stealth with their first products that help customers make use of the platform.
Also in today's VentureWire, Accelerators and incubators are becoming the alumni networks of choice, taking over from business schools which provided vital connections for previous generations of Silicon Valley start-ups…Mirna Therapeutics said it has raised a $34.5 million Series C round to launch clinical studies of a drug that replaces tumor-suppressing molecules that are deficient in cancer that affects the liver…and Lerer Ventures has closed its third fund in as many years with $36 million and an investment strategy that follows the New York tech community. The firm is a prolific investor in seed-stage companies, mostly based in New York.

Elsewhere around the Web:
Why did Twitter buy Vine, a three-man video-sharing start-up that hadn't even launched? Mainly because co-founder Jack Dorsey wanted the acquisition and pushed to make it happen, says All Things Digital. Dorsey returned to the company last year to guide product development, but his influence has been questioned.
Fortune reports a story of the lives and lawsuits of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Partner Ellen Pao and her husband, Alphonse "Buddy" Fletcher Jr. Pao sued Kleiner Perkins for gender discrimination and is in the process of leaving the venture firm, although the circumstances of her departure are in dispute.

Auto leasing has become very popular in the last few years as consumers are challenged to find affordable automobile financing alternatives in the current economy. Car leasing has grown to record levels never before seen.
Many people who could benefit from leasing a car have misconceptions, don't know how it works, or how to determine if it's right for them. Some people now leasing are paying too much because they didn't know a good lease deal from a bad one.
LeaseGuide.com helps you understand auto leasing, how to lease a car the smart way, who should lease (and who should not), how to find monthly lease payments, calculate lease vs buy, and how to get the best lease deals.
"Your site is fantastic. Thank you for the comprehensive and logical explanation of leasing. I feel prepared to step into the dealers domain and get a fair and good deal for myself. Your site is the absolute best site on the web for leasing information." Nancy – Yahoo.com
The Lease Guide is an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand guide to smart car leasing. Everything is explained in just the right amount of detail.

- Lease Evaluator Calculator
- Lease Inspector Calculator

"Your Lease Kit saved me over $1,200 over a 3 year lease through BMW financial services. The dealer tried to use a higher money factor then they quoted me in writing and the result was a payment that was $38.00 more each month than it should have been." G. Nevius – gmail.com
Need a Quick Guide to Leasing? On a Smartphone?
Not everyone has the time to read our comprehensive Lease Guide before they go in search of their dream car lease deal. For them, we've put together a Basic Guide to Car Leasing or if you are using a mobile phone, you may find our new Mobile Car Lease Guide site helpful.
Best Lease Deals
Whether you lease or buy, price is the most important factor in getting a great deal. The lower the price, the lower the payment. You can haggle long and hard with a dealer to get a good price, or do it the easy way — get free price quotes online from a car pricing service such as TrueCar and Edmunds. For best results, get multiple prices from both, compare, and go with the best deal.
When negotiating car lease price it's important to know dealer invoice price and what other people are paying. Otherwise, you won't know what price to negotiate for. You can view these prices at TrueCar.com, an invaluable web site for anyone thinking about buying or leasing a car.
Car Leases for Less Than $200 a Month
Auto makers frequently offer special limited-time lease deals on selected car makes and models for less than $200/month payment. These are genuinely good deals and are well worth considering for people looking for an affordable way to drive a new car. See Car Lease Deals – Less Than $200 a Month for more details.
New Mobile Version of Lease Guide – Lease.Guide
Check out our new mobile web site, Lease.Guide, that has been specifically designed for smartphone users who want a more condensed, quick to read, version of our well-known LeaseGuide.com web site. It includes important car leasing advice and information, as well as a mobile-friendly Lease Payment Calculator.
Lease or Buy? That is the Question
It's natural for anyone considering car leasing to wonder if it's better to lease, or to buy. The fact is that one way will nearly always be better in any given situation. Therefore, it's important to understand how each method works and get an objective comparison for making a correct decision. See Lease vs Buy? Which is Better? and our Lease vs Buy Calculator.
Zero $0 Down Car Leases – Really?
Yes, in fact most car leases can be structured with zero down payment, except for possibly some special promotional lease deals being offered by car manufacturers where a down payment might be required to get the special deal. But there's a difference between "zero down payment" and "zero cash due at lease signing." Learn the difference in our article, Lease a Car With No Down Payment.
Car Lease Buyout – Should You Purchase Your Leased Car?
Does it make sense to buy your leased car either at normal lease-end, or before the end? What are the benefits? Should you do an early buyout? What does it really accomplish? And what are the potential problems? We explain it all and provide the answers in our easy-to-read article, Car Lease Buyout – Good Idea or Not?
Not Sure Which Lease Calculator You Need?
We provide a convenient Guide to Lease Calculators that lists and explains each of almost a dozen different car lease calculators that we offer on this web site. Each has a special purpose and we tell you which is the best for your particular purpose. Most are unique and not found anywhere else on the Internet.
Did You Know … ?
Did you know that vehicle price is the most important part of negotiating a car lease deal? In fact, it is the only part of a lease that a dealer can negotiate. All other factors such as money factor, residual value, and acquisition fee are already set by the lease finance company. Therefore, it's important to know that you should always get the best price possible on a vehicle before you agree to lease. One way to do that is by using an online car pricing service such as TrueCar.com, where you'll not only find out what other price other people are getting, but also get a low price guarantee that will be honored by dealers in your area.
About Us
LeaseGuide.com was created and launched in 1995 by Al Hearn when car leasing was new to most consumers. Although the car leasing industry has matured and leasing has become an accepted method of car financing, it is still not well understood. LeaseGuide.com has grown and improved over the years to address this need to become one of the most respected sources of expert advice and information about automobile leasing. The purpose of this web site is only to provide consumer advice and information. We do not sell or lease cars.

More Businesses Expect to Raise Prices in Coming Months
A growing number of U.S. businesses expect to raise prices in the coming months, according to a new survey by the National Association for Business Economics.
About 43% of companies plan to raise prices in the first three months of 2014, far more than the 20% that said they actually did raise prices in last year's fourth quarter. Just over half — 56% — expect prices to stay flat and about 2% expect them to fall.
The NABE survey, conducted Dec. 19 to Jan. 6 and released Monday, is based on responses from 64 economists at U.S. companies and trade groups.
The overwhelming majority — 85% — said their firms saw flat or falling materials costs over the last three months, and 77% said wages remained the same or fell. But 42% expect their non-labor input prices to rise in the coming quarter, while 51% expect them to stay flat and 7% expect them to fall.
Overall U.S. inflation was weak in 2013, with the consumer price index rising 1.5%, according to the Labor Department. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, consumer prices rose 1.7%.
About 69% of economists predicted growth in real gross domestic product of 2.1% to 3% over the next year. About a fifth of economists expect growth of 1.1% to 2% this year.
The Wall Street Journal's latest forecasting survey of economists found a consensus prediction of 2.8% real GDP growth in 2014.
On the hiring front, 37% said their companies are likely to expand payrolls in the next six months, while 52% expect no change. Just 11% expect to cut payrolls.

Make sure you have NS records in the bio-rad.com zone for the global
subdomain. Otherwise, the servers think they're authoritative for the
entire bio-rad.com zone, and will never forward for anything in there.

How long does it take to learn to use CADSIM Plus?
By doing the CADSIM Plus Tutorial exercises, you can complete your first simple flowsheet balance in just a few hours. In a few days of practice, you can be fairly proficient at creating and developing more complex flowsheets.
Aurel Systems offers several training options that include on-site training courses for small groups and one-on-one web-based training (by the hour) to assist you in getting up to speed, while working on a project of your choice.
CADSIM Plus has thousands of sophisticated features. As you take on additional challenges (such as advanced process control, dynamic simulation, optimization, logic and online linking to other programs) you will continue to learn new techniques and tools. Aurel's just-in-time and just-enough training can assist you when you are ready to tackle a new modeling challenge.
There is no trial version of CADSIM Plus available at this time. However, there are a couple of ways that you can evaluate CADSIM Plus at little or no cost to you:
One year of support and maintenance is included with a CADSIM Plus license purchase. You can purchase a renewal of your CADSIM Plus support and maintenance plan after the first year. CADSIM Plus leases include support and maintenance for the duration of the lease.
Aurel endeavors to answer all e-mail support questions within 24 hours. E-mail support is generally preferred, because it is helpful for us to receive a sample model and detailed description from the client, so that we can quickly and accurately assess the user's modeling problem.
In some cases, a support request may result in the issue of a program update. Program updates may be made available to the client as soon as 24 hours following problem diagnosis.
Yes. There are a number of different versions and options for CADSIM Plus. These include:
There is no network version of CADSIM Plus. There is a network copy protection system for CADSIM Plus that allows a multi-user key to be installed on a server. For best performance, the software is installed locally on the client workstation.
Yes, a hardware key is required to run CADSIM Plus. We use the HASP hardware key, which has the following advantages: CADSIM Plus software does not require activation and does not brand itself to a specific computer. There is no limit to the number of times that your copy of CADSIM Plus can be installed.
Keys are available for your choice of printer (parallel) port or USB port. In addition, there are two types of keys: network and stand-alone.
Network keys can be installed on a network server or peer computer, along with a small HASP License Manager program. Network keys provide copy protection for a pre-programmed number of simultaneous users, who have access from anywhere on your network. CADSIM Plus software is installed locally on each CADSIM Plus workstation. Aurel does not restrict the number of installations of CADSIM Plus and does not require activation. The number of simultaneous users is governed by the network key. Network keys can be set up so that they can be accessed via the Internet.
Stand-alone keys must be installed locally on each CADSIM Plus workstation. These are ideal for laptops, small businesses and independent consultants.
You can run CADSIM Plus on any typical business-class Windows workstation. Typical recommended memory would be 2Gig of RAM (or more) for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Win 7 or Win 8. Storage requirements are 75MB for program files and 65MB for data files.
There is a strong advantage to choosing one or more high-resolution monitors (suitable for CAD) or a notebook computer with a 17" high-resolution screen. For example, a 24 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel, UXGA monitor would be ideal. At this time, CADSIM Plus does not require any type of database server support.
Yes. CADSIM Plus simulation drawings/models can be developed for display in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Italian. Language and keyword files are external to the CADSIM Plus program and can be customized by any user with a text editor.
Please note that the CADSIM Plus drawing/modeling interface and Help documentation are available in English only. Development is done in English, but runtime simulation and drawing presentation can be in a language of your choice.
There are a number of ways to share your CADSIM Plus simulation drawings and simulation results with others:
Yes. Aurel sells an optional AutoCAD Annotate utility that includes the following tools:

"They are works of art that can be considered works of artbut don't have to be in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum."-Michael Heizer
Effigy Tumuli is Michael Heizer's only representational work. Designed in the tradition of Native American mound building, Effigy Tumuli consists of five different mounds of earth that resemble geometrically abstracted animals, each chosen because they are indiginous to the region: a catfish, a water strider (insect), a frog, a turtle, and a snake. The work, part of which can be seen in the photo to the right, is located in Buffalo Rock State Park, near Ottawa, Illinois (approximately 85 miles southwest of Chicago), on Buffalo Rock, a bluff overlooking the Illinois River.
Buffalo Rock was once the site of a mine, and as part of its conversion into a state park, the Ottowa Silica Company Foundation comissioned Heizer in 1983 to complete the large-scale tumuli at Buffalo Rock. The work was completed in 1985. The tumuli, like most of Heizer's earthworks, are massive in scale. Water strider is 685 feet long, frog is 340 feet long, turtle is 650 feet long, catfish is 770 feet long, and snake is 2,070 feet long from head to tail (though it curves). Whereas frog, turtle, and catfish are essentially mounds built upon the flat bluff of Buffalo Rock, turtle and snake utilize the natural geography to their advantage, with the turtle's shell being formed by a mound as the rock dips to the river level, and the snake curving around and also dipping down 90 feet to the river level.
Effigy Tumuli is located in Buffalo Rock State Park, outside of Ottawa, Illinois, and approximately 85 miles southwest of Chicago, Illinois. The park is a popular spot for recreation, and is open to the public. It is operated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which maintains a website on the park with directions. Public tours and interpretive programs at the park are available. For more information, please call the park's interpretive office at (815) 433-2224.

A compact, effective thriller set in way-rural Ireland, Jeremy Lovering's In Fear makes the most of three actors, a car and a network of narrow roads winding through the woods. Literal-minded viewers might have trouble with a hard-to-rationalize ending, but horror fans in general should embrace its stripped-down scares.
Iain De Caestecker plays Tom, a lad bold enough to invite Lucy (Alice Englert) on a music-festival road trip after only one flirty conversation in a bar. Naughtier still, he has secretly booked a room at an out-of-the-way inn he found online, hoping to get to know Lucy better before meeting friends at the fest.
He gets lost after leaving the main road, though, following signs for the inn that keep leading back to places he swears he's seen before. While Lucy grows more frustrated and he fails to find either the inn or the road he took into this mess, it becomes clear Tom won't be getting lucky tonight. He might not even make it out of the woods.
Lovering, who says the premise was inspired by his own experience, refused to show his cast a screenplay, or even to let them know if they would live or die once the couple's navigation problems are complicated by sightings of mask-wearing strangers and suspicious mishaps. That uncertainty fuels tense improv within the car, a mood that worsens with the arrival of Max (Downton Abbey's Allen Leech) — a local who might be another victim of the film's unseen creeps — or might be one of them.
Lovering's camera setups turn an already tight car into an increasingly claustrophobic setting, and when the action spills outside — yes, even after night falls, Tom and Lucy find reasons to step out of the car's relative safety — we're convinced the film's psychological tension will give way to slasher mayhem. What actually happens is a little hard to explain but certainly will have viewers reading plenty of online reviews before booking their next romantic getaway.
Directed by Jeremy Lovering. Not rated. 84 mins. At the AMC Mesquite.

Kendra makes the tag at the plate but eats a knee and loses a couple teeth as a result. Gross.
Ouch! That's never good. I'm still cringing as I replay the direct knee to face contact in my mind. I bet she wished she kept the mask on now.
Yeah, for sure. When I watched it I wondered why she threw it off in the first place. Not good :/ You're right, she'll probably keep it on in those situations from now on!
And dropped the ball (understandably) as well. Insult to injury.
Though not a pretty sight, glad to see the surgery was a success.
Ouch! This is why I now wear a mouth guard too, I think my mom would kill me if I damaged my teeth (my braces were expensive)!

Wrestlemania 29 Matches List: The Rock Headlining Again But Event Still Looks Boring [PREVIEW & VIDEO]
The Wrestlemania 29 matches list for this Sunday's event from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey looks boring. The "Showcase of the Immortals" will feature nine matches and while just having a match on the card is an honor, all eyes will be on the WWE Title match between John Cena and The Rock.
While this show is the WWE's biggest show of the year, this year's show may be the most anti-climactic and predictable 'Mania in some time. There are no major surprises that the show can create unless the WWE drastically changes the way they write their shows. Can something unexpected happen? Of course it can. Do I see anything unlikely happening? Not at all.
We will go over the top four matches for this year's Wrestlemania with predictions for these matches. These will be just opinions on what I think we will happen when I'm sitting in my seat watching at MetLife Stadium. Feel free to disagree, this time of year is meant for debate about the direction of a product we have grown up watching.
Our first match to preview is:
Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio for Del Rio's World Heavyweight Championship: This match outcome was set when Swagger was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession just a week into this angle. While this angle bought the company a little mainstream exposure and has fans talking, the WWE will not reward Swagger's arrest with a title run. De Rio wins the match and Swagger's push ends. But in an added note, Dolph Ziggler has been holding on to his Money in the Bank briefcase for a very long time. I'm starting think that Sunday will be cash in time for Ziggler and the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio should watch his back.
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match: This match will be hard-hitting and will not be a "wrestling match" for fans. While Triple H walked to ring in a leather jacket and a t-shirt, everyone knows that he has accumulated a lot of power in the WWE behind the scenes wearing a suit, with many believing that he will take over the company when Vince McMahon steps down (that may not ever happen). Triple H already only wrestles once or maybe twice a year so his focus is on the business side of the WWE. Lesnar will win and Triple H will continue being groomed for the top spot in the company.
CM Punk vs. The Undertaker: This is the one match that has me questioning my pick. While The Undertaker only wrestles once a year, he is 48 years old and coming off numerous injuries. It wasn't clear whether he would even wrestle at this year's show due to his body still recovering from last year's Hell in a Cell match against Triple H. When CM Punk was selected to face The Undertaker, many people began to think that Punk may be the one to end the streak and The Undertaker would retire. The problem with that logic is that Punk is taking time off from the WWE after the show. The WWE would want the man who vanquished the Undertaker to be on television every week proclaiming his greatness, not home recovering from wear and tear. Undertaker will continue the streak until next year when John Cena ends it because why not, he wins all the time anyway.
John Cena vs. The Rock for Rock's WWE Championship: This brings me to the main-event of the evening. Cena will win the match due to him pretty much saying that 2013 is the year of Cena. The Rock will go back to making movies but the problem happens after the match. What should happen is The Rock retaining setting up a match for Extreme Rules for the title, which gives the WWE another huge main event. But that won't happen and reports have Cena starting a program with Ryback after Wrestlemania. WHAT!? Ladies and gentlemen, get set for another reign of Cena where he tells funny jokes and plays SuperCena for a long while. Cena goes over Rock in a decent match but not as good as there "Once in a Lifetime" match (really, once should mean once) at last year's Wrestlemania.
Here is the complete matches list for this Sunday's Wrestlemania 29 courtesy of WWE.com:
WWE Champion The Rock vs. John Cena
Undertaker vs. CM Punk
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar (No Holds Barred Match; If Lesnar wins, Triple H must retire)
World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio
Randy Orton, Sheamus & The Big Show vs. The Shield
Ryback vs. Mark Henry
WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston
Chris Jericho vs. Fandango
Tons of Funk & The Funkadactyls vs. Team Rhodes Scholars & The Bella Twins

Large tropical trees and a few dominant species were recently identified as the main structuring elements of tropical forests. However, such result did not translate yet into quantitative approaches which are essential to understand, predict and monitor forest functions and composition over large, often poorly accessible territories. Here we show that the above-ground biomass (AGB) of the whole forest can be predicted from a few large trees and that the relationship is proved strikingly stable in 175 1-ha plots investigated across 8 sites spanning Central Africa. We designed a generic model predicting AGB with an error of 14% when based on only 5% of the stems, which points to universality in forest structural properties. For the first time in Africa, we identified some dominant species that disproportionally contribute to forest AGB with 1.5% of recorded species accounting for over 50% of the stock of AGB. Consequently, focusing on large trees and dominant species provides precise information on the whole forest stand. This offers new perspectives for understanding the functioning of tropical forests and opens new doors for the development of innovative monitoring strategies.

Aim: Successional and soil filtering processes are key drivers of the assembly of tropical tree communities, yet little is known about how they interact. Herein, we determine whether successional pathways depend on soil type, how the soil filtering effect varies during forest succession and whether succession is accompanied by changes in trait composition. Location: South-western Central African Republic. Methods: We used inventory data on 90 dominant tree species (72% of the stems ≥ 30 cm d.b.h.) in 15,420 plots (each 0.5 ha) distributed over an 8300-km2 mosaic of primary and secondary forests on contrasting clay and sandy soils. We gathered data on six traits: dispersal mode, nitrogen fixation, deciduousness, leaf area, wood density and maximum diameter. After validation with historical information, we used a successional index based on pioneer proportion to assess variations in trait composition, and in α- and β-diversity, in forest succession, and within and between soil types. Results: Taxonomic and functional dissimilarities between clay and sandy soils decreased continuously during forest succession. Within soil types, earlysuccessional communities had a low taxonomic but relatively high functional α-diversity. At the landscape scale, β-diversity was higher among earlier successional stages, except in rich soils where taxonomic β-diversity was high throughout the succession.Mean values for all traits, except leaf area, showed marked variations during forest succession in both soil types. Main conclusions: The effect of soil type on community composition declines during succession, suggesting that the relative importance of neutral processes is higher in mature forests. Successional pathways were fairly similar in both soil types: disturbances reduced taxonomic diversity locally and enhanced β-diversity between sites, probably because the disturbances varied in type. We also demonstrated how easy-to-collect traits help improve predictions of ecological patterns and deepen our understanding of species assembly processes.

Background: Understanding the factors that shape the distribution of tropical tree species at large scales is a central issue in ecology, conservation and forest management. The aims of this study were to (i) assess the importance of environmental factors relative to historical factors for tree species distributions in the semi-evergreen forests of the northern Congo basin; and to (ii) identify potential mechanisms explaining distribution patterns through a trait-based approach. Methodology/Principal Findings: We analyzed the distribution patterns of 31 common tree species in an area of more than 700,000 km² spanning the borders of Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Republic of Congo using forest inventory data from 56,445 0.5-ha plots. Spatial variation of environmental (climate, topography and geology) and historical factors (human disturbance) were quantified from maps and satellite records. Four key functional traits (leaf phenology, shade tolerance, wood density, and maximum growth rate) were extracted from the literature. The geological substrate was of major importance for the distribution of the focal species, while climate and past human disturbances had a significant but lesser impact. Species distribution patterns were significantly related to functional traits. Species associated with sandy soils typical of sandstone and alluvium were characterized by slow growth rates, shade tolerance, evergreen leaves, and high wood density, traits allowing persistence on resource-poor soils. In contrast, fast-growing pioneer species rarely occurred on sandy soils, except for Lophira alata. Conclusions/Significance: The results indicate strong environmental filtering due to differential soil resource availability across geological substrates. Additionally, long-term human disturbances in resource-rich areas may have accentuated the observed patterns of species and trait distributions. Trait differences across geological substrates imply pronounced differences in population and ecosystem processes, and call for different conservation and management strategies.

Environmental filtering of dense-wooded species controls above-ground biomass stored in African moist forests

1. Regional above-ground biomass estimates for tropical moist forests remain highly inaccurate mostly because they are based on extrapolations from a few plots scattered across a limited range of soils and other environmental conditions. When such conditions impact biomass, the estimation is biased. The effect of soil types on biomass has especially yielded controversial results. 2. We investigated the relationship between above-ground biomass and soil type in undisturbed moist forests in the Central African Republic. We tested the effects of soil texture, as a surrogate for soil resources availability and physical constraints (soil depth and hydromorphy) on biomass. Forest inventory data were collected for trees ≥20 cm stem diameter in 2754 0.5 ha plots scattered over 4888 km². The plots contained 224 taxons, of which 209 were identified to species. Soil types were characterized from a 1:1 000 000 scale soil map. Species-specific values for wood density were extracted from the CIRAD's data base of wood technological properties. 3. We found that basal area and biomass differ in their responses to soil type, ranging from 17.8 m² ha-1 (217.5 t ha-1) to 22.3 m² ha-1 (273.3 t ha-1). While shallow and hydromorphic soils support forests with both low stem basal area and low biomass, forests on deep resource-poor soils are typically low in basal area but as high in biomass as forests on deep resource-rich soils. We demonstrated that the environmental filtering of slow growing dense-wooded species on resource-poor soils compensates for the low basal area, and we discuss whether this filtering effect is due to low fertility or to low water reserve. 4. Synthesis. We showed that soil physical conditions constrained the amount of biomass stored in tropical moist forests. Contrary to previous reports, our results suggest that biomass is similar on resource-poor and resource-rich soils. This finding highlights both the importance of taking into account soil characteristics and species wood density when trying to predict regional patterns of biomass. Our findings have implications for the evaluation of biomass stocks in tropical forests, in the context of the international negotiations on climate change.

In this paper we seek to identify the floristic determination biases contained in large-scale commercial inventories conducted by logging companies and to determine whether this impacts on the observed patterns of alpha and beta diversity. The study focused on floristic data recently collected by industrial timber companies in the tropical forests of the Central African Republic (28,229 0.5-ha plots spread over 14,000km2). A subset of these plots (n = 1107) was later re-sampled for controlling purposes by experienced botanists. The proportion of agreement between the two samplings was assessed for each species and independently for small and large trees, and at genus and family resolutions. Unsurprisingly, large trees and common species were more accurately identified than small trees and rare species. We found that the quality of the floristic determination increased slightly from species to families. We also detected a significant variation between concessions in the quality of the floristic determination that was more dependent on working conditions during forest inventories than on field workers. Contrary to a widespread belief, we did not find a strong bias toward commercial species, showing that commercial inventory data could also be valid for non-commercial species in ecological studies. Finally, we found that both alpha and beta diversity patterns in commercial inventories were highly consistent with those of the re-sampled inventory. This latter result shows that commercial inventories are well suited to detect large-scale patterns of floristic variation. Large-scale commercial inventories could thus play an important role in the identification of large-scale patterns in tropical tree diversity. This could enhance our ability to manage tropical forests by designing representative reserve networks and developing management plans that integrate diversity patterns at the landscape scale.

1. In tropical forests, species distribution patterns may be strongly context-dependent owing to local stochasticity of recruitment and⁄ or to the specific history and environment of each site. Recent studies have reported, however, that the degree of spatial aggregation of tropical tree species is partly determined by some species traits irrespectively of site conditions, at least at a very local scale (<200 m). 2. Here, we used standardized large-scale forest inventories of five Central African tropical forests (9670 0.5-ha plots spread over 5550 km2) to quantify the spatial aggregation of 106 tropical tree species at larger spatial scales. For this purpose, we developed a new statistic to quantify the respective contributions of different spatial scales to the aggregation patterns, and we tested whether patterns were consistent across sites. We finally asked whether species characteristics related to dispersal ability, to response to disturbances and to biogeographical range could significantly explain aggregation patterns. 3. Although aggregation patterns varied substantially among sites within each species, they displayed inter-site consistencies (21–24%of the total variance explained by species identity) at the local scale (0.2–1 km) and at the mesoscale (1–10 km) but not at the landscape scale (>10 km). At the two former scales, upper taxonomical levels (family and⁄or order) significantly explained variation in the degree of species aggregation, while at the landscape scale, aggregation was entirely contingent on the site considered. Few species characteristics, except dispersal syndromes and wood density, were able to significantly explain aggregation patterns. 4. Synthesis. One of our most striking results is the high context dependence of species aggregation patterns, whatever the spatial scale considered. However, we showed that species distribution patterns can be predicted, to an extent, at spatial scales much larger than previously investigated in this context. Such patterns may be explained by traits displaying phylogenetic conservatism [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 52 (12 ULg)

Les processus qui génèrent la répartition spatiale des arbres tropicaux ont fait l'objet de nombreuses études. Trois processus semblent déterminants pour la répartition des végétaux : la dispersion limitée, l'histoire de la zone (perturbations anthropiques et histoire climatique) et la différenciation de niche. Leur importance relative est aujourd'hui largement débattue et dépend certainement de l'échelle spatiale considérée. Dans cette étude notre objectif général est de comprendre quels sont les principaux mécanismes qui génèrent les patrons spatiaux des espèces et à quelles échelles ils interviennent. Les données traitées proviennent d'inventaires botaniques réalisés à grande échelle (460000 ha) par des sociétés forestières, en Afrique Centrale (Cameroun et République Centrafricaine). Des mesures d'agrégation spatiale sont réalisées sur 121 espèces d'arbre (individus > à 30 cm de diamètre), dans 4 sites différents et à 3 échelles spatiales : l'échelle locale (0-1 km), l'échelle intermédiaire (1-10 km) et l'échelle du paysage (> à 10 km). Nous testons la relation entre l'agrégation spatiale spécifique et une série de caractéristiques propres aux espèces : le type de diaspore, la tolérance à l'ombre, le type biologique, le système de reproduction et le type phytogéographique. Nos résultats montrent que les patrons d'agrégation spécifiques sont cohérents à travers les sites, jusqu'à l'échelle intermédiaire, mais que les caractéristiques propres aux espèces permettent peu de les prédire. La variation de l'agrégation entre sites pour une même espèce est toutefois très importante et suggère que les patrons d'agrégation observés sont en grande partie dépendants des sites et de leur histoire. Nos résultats suggèrent que les patrons spatiaux spécifiques sont liés à une dispersion limitée à une échelle très locale alors que les patterns observés à des échelles supérieures sont principalement dus à l'histoire des sites et dans certains cas à une forte hétérogénéité environnementale.

What's Next For Housing? More Sprawl
As legend has it, Mark Twain once gave this famous investment advice: "Buy land; they're not making it anymore."
During the housing boom, home builders heeded the author's famous witticism, snapping up hundreds of thousands of acres in and around U.S. cities. They went to the suburbs when land supply ran short, and then to the distant – and cheaper – tracts known to planners as the exurbs.
The housing bust, and the phenomenal collapse of the home-building industry that began in 2007, helped cool the sprawl frenzy.
But according to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies' annual State of the Nation's Housing report, released Thursday, sprawl is poised to make a comeback.
According to Census data examined by JCHS, the household growth in the 2000s was mostly concentrated outside of cities – city cores only accounted for 21% of growth, compared with 38% in the suburbs and 41% in the exurbs. This was largely driven by prices, a trend that is likely to continue. The current pause in exurban housing development has more to do with cooling demand caused by the downturn than with a major change in lifestyle choices, the Harvard center says.
"What drives people to buy those homes is a combination of price and the type of house they're looking for," says Chris Herbert, the center's director of research. "This is not a fundamental shift in trends. It's more a reflection of how the recession has shifted people's behavior."
Another factor is the number of minorities buying homes. The report found that in 2010, 47% of minority households lived outside of cities, a gain of 6 percentage points from 10 years earlier. This means that the suburbs have become more diverse as they have become more popular. The rising number of homes purchased for seasonal and recreational use has also fueled growth.
And despite all the building, the report said, most undeveloped land is still in areas outside of cities, not in them, and thus "there is every reason to believe that the exurbs will once again capture a disproportionate share of growth once residential construction activity resumes."
Economic woes have also put a cap on new household formation, a key metric for home builders. The Census reported last year that 30% of Americans were "doubling up," or combining households, to deal with the difficulties of the economy.
"Everyone is kind of frozen in place right now," Mr. Herbert says. "Slowly, it will go back to a more normal market, and people will move out of their parents' basements."
Those people, Harvard says, will likely continue to move to where the space is: the suburbs, and even more so, the exurbs.
"How much new housing will we need when household growth gets back to normal and vacancies start to clear? About 1.6 million units a year," Mr. Herbert says. "That's a lot of housing to squeeze into the existing urban and suburban infrastructure."

Teenagers in online feud accused of paying 14-year-old €20 to murder classmate
- Details
- Category: News
- Created on Monday, 20 August 2012 13:25
- Written by Amsterdam Herald
The so-called 'Facebook murder' has sent shockwaves through the Netherlands, both for the way it was arranged and the cold-blooded nature of the killing.
Joyce Winsie Hau, 15, was stabbed to death in the hallway of her home in Arnhem on January 14. The suspected killer was a 14-year-old boy, Jing Hua K., from Capelle aan den IJssel. She died five days later in hospital.
Prosecutors say K. was hired by the victim's best friend, 16-year-old Polly W., and her boyfriend, Wesley, as revenge for comments Winsie made on Facebook and other sites, claiming she was loose with boys.
The argument between the two girls escalated, with other classmates joining in through text messaging and online networks, and eventually culminated in the alleged plot to "teach Winsie a lesson".
Polly and Wesley are said to have set up a meeting with K. after making contact through the Chinese nightlife circuit and gave him a note with Winsie's address and details of when she would be home.
On the day of the killing K. went to Winsie's house, rang the doorbell and asked her father to fetch her. As soon as Chun nam Hau left them alone, K. is said to have lashed out with a knife, fatally wounding Winsie and leaving her father, who ran back into the hallway, badly scarred.
According to the prosecution, K. was paid €20 by his two co-suspects and told that he would himself be killed if he failed to carry out their instructions.
Because of his age K., now 15, is likely to be given a year in jail and psychiatric detention if found guilty of the crime. His two co-accused stand to receive longer sentences in a hearing on Tuesday.
The details of the case, with two children in a provincial town accused of plotting a mafia-style hit on one of their best friends, has raised deep concerns about the behaviour of teenagers and online networking.
Chun nam Hau told news show EenVandaag that it showed the dangers of young people becoming locked away in an online world where their parents are unable to look out for them.
He said: "Watch out for the risks of group behaviour among youths and what they are doing on social media. Little things can so easily get out of hand.
"Parents need to be able to access the sites where they go and chat, otherwise you don't know what they're discussing."
Remko Pijpers, of the My Child Online organisation (Mijn Kind Online), told EenVandaag that parents needed more help and guidance with managing their children's behaviour online.
He said: "Social media played the role of catalyst, accelerating and magnifying things, and one thing led to another.
"It could have happened offline, but some things happen faster online and come across much worse. It's important for parents to be able to be there."

Netherlands, 2011, 119 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Coming of Age, Drama
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Dutch, Polish English Sub-Titles
From producer Els Vandevorst (Winter in Wartime, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville) comes Lena, starring the remarkable Emma Levie in her first film role. Lena is a pretty but overweight 17-year-old. She lives with her abusive and psychologically damaged mother, who's constantly belittling Lena about her weight. Needing to fit in with her peers, she engages in casual sex with different boys, but unfortunately that tactic just leads to more loneliness.
One night, while riding her scooter, she meets Daan (Niels Gomperts), who seems to be running away from someone. He's a handsome lad with a killer James Franco smile. They fall in love, and he asks her to move in with him and his widowed father (Jeroen Willems). Lena jumps at the chance, as she can't wait to leave her uncaring and disturbed mother. But things start to crumble as Lena finds out that Daan's been keeping a secret from her.
She tells Daan never to lie to her again, and gets him to straighten himself out. She also works on mending the tattered relationship between father and son. It all seems to be going well until Daan's dad steps out of line. From there, things begin to go awry as Lena's idyllic new world starts to fall apart.
Director Christophe van Rompaey (Moscow, Belgium, SDFF 31) vividly captures Lena's emotional pain as a teenager on the outside looking in, and Emma Levie's brilliant performance brings it home.

A method for rapidly producing highly functional prototypes is described. This method, called software storming, involves experts in the initial design and implementation of a system during an intense development effort that combines knowledge engineering with the latest advances in software-development technology and workstation hardware The experiment described is a test of tools and techniques developed in the field of artificial intelligence as well as the first step in the development of software storming. Using this approach, the authors developed a software prototype which possesses significantly more functionality than a standard prototype, in less than four months.

Good one, Laz. Thanks for reading. I appreciate it.
Why would anyone go to such lengths to reveal their shortcomings?
"Long Tom". Good one, MadMax. Or Stanley...like the power drill. LOL!
LOL! Good one, RK.
Pantless was also a funny cartoon character
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading, Geron L.
That thing looks dangerous. A "certain condition" could result in a painful wedgie or a hanging. bwa ha ha ha ha
Yeah, that was a funny scene in the movie. They used to tell us in basic training to refer to the M-16 rifle as a weapon, and that a gun was what was between your legs. LOL!
Great picture. Thanks for posting it.

Good catch, fivcatsandadog. LOL!
There is a hilarious short film called "A Heap of Trouble", which is no longer available online, except with a PayPal donation.
The gist is of a small and peaceful suburban area where children are playing in the street as their parents chit-chat. Suddenly the scene is broken by "Nine naked men just a walking down the street, could cause a heap of trouble to all they meet."
Everyone runs indoors, but the adult men are strangely affected, wanting to tear off their clothes and join the parade of marching naked men. Unable to resist the siren song.
Great read, however I would need a blue pill if I was marching.
A guy's rear end in front of me, doesn't do anything for me. Great end about the soap!!!
Forgot to ping you satire ping!
I bet that is hilarious. I never heard of it. Thanks for posting that, brumuy.
Glad you enjoyed it, Springman. Thanks for reading. And, of course, I'm totally shocked to find out that a guy's butt doesn't do anything for you. LOL!
