I have 3 set's of data: x, y and z. Fitting a surface with fit command works well, but i can't find a way to correctly evaluate the volume beneath the surface and above xy plane. I'm getting NaN and warnings: Warning: Non-finite result. The integration was unsuccessful. Singularity likely.
The code i'm using is the following:
load('data.mat') x=data(:,1); y=data(:,2); z=data(:,3); fitobject = fit([x,y],z, 'cubicinterp'); image plot(fitobject) xlabel('Proj_X'); ylabel('Proj_Y'); zlabel('Intensity'); disp('volume') a=0; b=40.34; c=1.634; d=80.05; volume_under_fit = quad2d(fitobject,a,b,c,d)
The data sets are in the following file:
Any help will be appreciated. Bruno
Since your points only cover that parabolic looking region in X-Y, how is MATLAB supposed to know what the values of the function are outside that region?
It is clear that you will need to make some assumptions if you want to calculate that integral.
I can think of a few ideas:
1. Your data is more or less equal 0.043 with some oscillations, but the oscillations are relatively small in comparison to this constant term (moreover, they seem to be symmetric and kind of cancel out as well). So to a very good approximation, treat your data as constant, and the area under the curve is going to simply be the volume of the box. Like this:
ans =
2. Even though you don't have data points out there, it seems your data kind of extends out with the same behavior in the x-direction. So maybe you could make a copy of your data extended out this way, and then do the fitting.
load('data.mat') x=data(:,1); y=data(:,2); z=data(:,3);
x = [x; x+max(x)]; %< --- Extend the points out periodically y = [y; y]; %< --- Extend the points out periodically z = [z; z]; %< --- Extend the points out periodically
fitobject = fit([x,y],z, 'cubicinterp'); plot(fitobject) xlabel('Proj_X'); ylabel('Proj_Y'); zlabel('Intensity'); disp('volume') a=0; b=40.34; c=1.634; d=80.05; volume_under_fit = quad2d(fitobject,a,b,c,d)
This gives you 138.1160, which is very close to the previous answer, and given the amount of noise in your data to begin with, I'm not sure you can say that one is better than another.
3. From looking at the data, you might try and model using a formula, such as a constant plus some sinusoidal terms.
z(x,y) = A + B*cos(W1*x + P1) + C*cos(W2*y + P2).
Or something like that, and then integrate that formula. But again, given the characteristics of your data to begin with, I don't think you'd get anything that you could say with certainty is more accurate than the above two answers.
Bruno, quad2d performs a double integral, which must only return the surface integral over the defined surface for the limits you specify.
If you want to compute the volume you should use triplequad:
Also your third file for download is not z.mat but data.mat, hence I couldn't try this out myself.
Thanks for trying to help.
I've figured what my problem is, quad2d (and maybe all others functions to perform volume integration) needs that the fitted surface covers all the domain of integration.But with my set of points that doesn't happen. Changing the limits of integration can't be done either (i think).
Using different integration limits, the volume can calculated (on those limits). Example:
volume_under_fit = quad2d(fitobject,0,20,30,50)
Matlab surely "knows" what is the volume beneath that fitted surface, the problem is how to "ask" him.
I've stored all datasets on data.mat. Please try again running the code, maybe you can find some alternative.

Equiduct to take on Nasdaq OMX Nordics
Equiduct, the retail exchange platform owned by marketmaking firms Knight Capital and Citadel, has begun trading Nordic stocks, bringing it into direct competition with Nasdaq OMX's European markets which have already begun to feel the sting of increased competition.
Equiduct said late yesterday that it would extend its European stock coverage to include Denmark, Finland and Sweden as of today, marking the next phase in Equiduct's growth strategy.
In a statement, Peter Randall, Equiduct chief executive, said: "Increasing client demand and Equiduct's continued growth, especially in the European retail trading sector, meant that extension of our stock coverage into the Nordic regions was the next logical decision."
Equiduct is building a retail-focused exchange to challenge Europe's incumbent bourses including NYSE Euronext, the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse. It initially focused on NYSE Euronext's markets – France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal – and moved into Italian stocks late last year.
The company has long-planned to expand into the Nordic markets but was not able to do so until it added EuroCCP, the cash equities clearing house owned by The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, to its platform in July.
Equiduct has experienced strong growth during the past two years, reporting a 56% increase in turnover between January and October. But the platform remains a minnow compared to the likes of Bats Chi-X Europe and, as with other alternative trading firms, has struggled to break even. Its owner Easdaq lost £6.5m for the year to December 31, 2011, according to Companies House.
The company has been on the search for new stakeholders, according to a report earlier this year by Bloomberg. Last week, Financial News reported that Equiduct is in talks with Deutsche Börse regarding a potential partnership that would combine certain segments of the operators' customer bases.
Equiduct's move into the Nordic market comes at a difficult time for Nasdaq OMX's Nordic equities markets, which reported a 25% decline in revenues from from $24m to $18m year-on-year in the third quarter.
Financial News reported in October that the exchange's market share in the Nordic region slipped from 58.2% at the start of the year to 56.1% in September, according to data from Thomson Reuters, amid increasing competition.
Bjørn Sibbern, head of Nordic equities at Nasdaq OMX, told Financial News in October: "Because fragmentation and the effects of competition have taken longer to get to the Nordic regions, alternative venues have now increased their focus on these markets. The fact that we have seen a drop relates to a certain extent to the fact that we have come from a stronger starting position."

Sawadii kah!
Greetings from Bangkok, a city of madness. To shoppers who were looking for good deals, Bangkok's Chatuchak market and Platinum fashion malls offers madly cheap items. To the photography enthusiasts, the temples,palaces and street sightings were madly beautiful. To the foodies, the restaurants,cafes and food stores here offers madly delicious food. This place is enticing and no wonder Singaporeans repeatedly come back again and again after numerous visits. For me, I'm back in Bangkok for the third time. Four days of shopping, eating and chilling, from 10 to 13 December of 2012.
Planning a trip to Bangkok comes off as really easy when you could conveniently book your flights and hotel stay online and best of all, with the abundance of travel information on Bangkok and reviews of food and places, you could plan your own travel itinerary and get a taste of the Thai culture and their way of life without having the need to hire a guide ( unless you're travelling out of Bangkok!).
I booked my flights with AirAsia and my hotel accomodation, with agoda.com. It took me and my friends quite some time to look for an affordable hotel with good location and services. In the end, we decided with Grand Inn Hotel that seems quite average based on the reviews. Some gave good words about the hotel while others complained about some of it's facilities.Despite of this, we still went ahead to book the hotel thinking that it wasn't too bad right? It turns out that it wasn't too bad. It was way above my expectations.
Hotel perks
1. Free Wifi available once you enter their building - Whether you're in your room, lobby or their cafe having breakfast, you could update your Facebook status and tweet about your travels.
2. Complimentary mineral water bottles - Not enough? You could purchase mineral water from 7-11 located near the hotel.
3. iPod Speakers - Blast your favourite tunes in your room as you take a shower or read a book.
4. Super powerful airconditioner which keeps the room cool - Afraid of the heat in Bangkok? Those powerful air-cons will help to take off the heat so you can sleep peacefully at night.
5. It's about 5 to 10 minutes walk from Nana Skytrain station!
Hotel Downsides
1. There's earthquakes in my room! - Whenever a vechicle zooms past the hotel, your bed will start to shake. It could be due to the poor construction and foundation of the building. Whenever the ground trembles, the whole hotel starts to tremble with it too.
2. Where's the hot kettle? - You can't boil water in the room but if you need hot water, you could ask for it from the hotel cafe, located on the eighth floor.
3. The entrance of the hotel is rather inconspicuous. Make sure you open the right glass door.
Hotel Lobby
|Superior Double Room
It does look pretty chic and clean.
Superior Twin room
Complimentary shampoo,shower gel, soap and a shower cap.
Rooftop Cafe at Grand Inn.
|Breakfast consists of:
Eggs with sausage or bacon
Toasts with butter and jam
Juice or fruits
I love their omelette. Soft and fluffy.
A decent breakfast to start each day of exploration in Bangkok.
Anyhow, it's about 35 SGD per room for two a night with breakfast. What more could I ask for at such a price?

Good Morning, Tribesters,
What an interesting game yesterday. First time in years that the game was an actual "contest". That power failure sure was interesting………..35 minutes??? Sure stopped The Raven's momentum! Didn't cheer for either team, but enjoyed it anyway.
Of late they've all been a lot closer than many of the games of the 80's and 90's.
That power failure sure didn't help the Ravens. They had all the momentum going their way after that kick-off return. The delay gave 49ers a chance to regroup, unfortunately.
Where did this guy escape from? He must be a danger to himself because he wasn't allowed to keep his belt.
I hear next year's Super Bowl will be played at Motel 6.
They'll be sure to leave the lights on.
Good one!Saucy, LOL!
Actually, the blackout was34 mins =)
Thank You For Not Putting That Incredibly Yucky Thing On Our Menu.
I don't know about everyone else, but I like my food hair-free.
Good evening kids..
So is it considered impolite to tell a fan Ewwww??
Don't take any elephant stew. Some people add hare.

Brooke Burke: The Girl Or The Birkin Handbag?
If you could have a date with Brooke Burke OR get your hands on her Birkin bag - which would you choose? The TV host went to the STK Steakhouse in West Hollywood with the cast of the new season of "Dancing With The Stars" earlier this week.
The biggest surprise in the new cast is "Jersey Shore" guido Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino.
When TV Guide asked her why the show's producers are interested in Sorrentino, Burke said, "I think last season kind of proved reality shows and tabloids play a big part of it. Casting is a big part of the success of the show.
Everybody seems to be talking more about The Situation than anybody else. I guess it makes sense."
Brooke has a lot on her plate these days. In addition to "DWTS," she is a host on "Wild One" as well as TV Land's "She's Got The Look."

Skip to comments.Illegal U.S. immigrants outnumber legals
Posted on 06/14/2005 12:10:35 PM PDT by Convert from ECUSA
click here to read article
Wishy washy is all you're gonna get, Wonder Warthog, from either party...
Unfortunately, you're almost undoubtedly correct.
There's no secret about it. It is the goal of many:
Experts call for Common North American Border.
Or how about this little tidbit from none other Than Henry Hyde.
But regardless of how warm or hostile the relations between our governments, no border can prevent the growing connections between our two countries. The emergence of a North American Community is already well-advanced and is inexorably entangling our fates. The choice we have is to cooperate to realize the many possibilities being created by this nascent Community or to reprise the needless mistakes of the past.
Henry Hyde is a Republican, right?
Oh, my goodness...
He is talking like the US becoming Mexicanized is a GOOD, WONDERFUL THING!!!!
So, according to Hyde, losing our Americaness, to become "one" with Mexico is a "dream future"?
God Help Us....
Thanks for the information raybbr, I think
I know how you feel.
Our army is on the other side of the world, they cant be in two places at once. Either you want them in Iraq, or you want them to protect our Mexican border.
Call me what you wish, but I believe with all the problems Mexico poses to our security, we should take it, by force if necessary and make it what it should be. If that means sending in 50,000 to 100,000 US Marshals to establish law and order after the military has neutralized their military and police forces, so be it. And if it takes half a century to accomplish like it did our "Old West", it will be worth the time. For a century and a half we danced the soft shoe where Mexico is concerned. It's time to kick some butt. We took a third or half of Mexico in the eighteen hundreds, and made great societies throughout those regions. It's time to take the rest, crush the corruption forever, and allow the good people in those areas to build the type of communities we enjoy.
I can't apologize for sounding like one of the libs if that's what your take is.
Well, now why didn't you say so in the first place! Gotta respect an opinion like that. I don't totally agree, but I respect it. They have an awful lot of people down there, and you think we have problems now, try having the whole country as a welfare client state. In fact I think they'd like to be a welfare client state of the US -- with the right to kvetch and quibble and undermine like the socialist rats of course.
So I disagree, but I have to respect a man with an action plan.
Thank you for noting that California is one of the "great societies." It helps to balance out the common Cali-bashing around here. We're not as great as we once were, but we're hanging in there. O, for the days when Chicanos crossed over to vote for Reagan. They respect a no-nonsense leader and many have a proud history of service in the U.S. military.
I don't think your plan will happen, but I like it and your profile page.
I like your profile page too. One thing from your profile page, "neither reside nor work here lawfully", this may surprise you, but it is not against the law to rent housing to illegal immigrants. If it were against the law, and under penalty of property forfeiture, it would reverse and end the problem. These people couldn't survive among us without housing. Sure people could offer them jobs under the table, but without someplace to live, that money would be worthless.
What I mean is that their presence here is unlawful, regardless of whether they rent, share or buy housing.
Sadly, it does not surprise me at all that there are no penalties for renting to foreign trespassers. That is one little freedom of property rights that owners have. I know this because, starting in the early 1980s, I watched the area I grew up in transform from a quiet, clean, safe and sedate neighborhood into a raucous, filthy, crowded latin american ghetto. My mother remained, refusing to move because she was near her church. But they even threw rocks and broke the beautiful stained glass windows of the chapel.
Owners have the right to restrict the number of tenants per apartment, but apparently that is optional. Even restricting the number of tenants per unit would help. We never could figure out why that overcrowding was allowed. Aren't property owners supposed to care about property values?
I'm surprised it still has the "illegal" tacked on; it's becoming more common to see far more euphemistic B.S.-speak than this example. One that I've noticed recently: "Entrants". Makes it sound like the media is talking about a damned beauty contest.
Well, we could start by appropriating Iraqi oil to pay for our expenses there, and using appropriate force to bring the damn "insurgency" for lack of a more accurate term to an end.
This "Mr. Nice Guy" thing has GOT to stop, it just does.
I agree with you. The nice guy approach is a spineless approach. I hope no one misunderstands me. I think most of the Mexican population are a very good people, and very industrious. I want to forever crush what has kept them from finding happiness within their own country. There's no room for negotiation with the Mexican government. An ultimatum is warranted.
Since you mentioned Iraq, I see a similar situation there. We need to tell the neighbors of Iraq to control their borders and keep anyone from entering across their border. If they continue to pour over the border, we need to expand our military operation into whatever country is allowing the insurgents into Iraq. There's nothing to negotiate.
We jusat need to do the things that need to be done. Trying to do things halfway and appease the opposition is more hurtful. Real men used to understand that you pull the tooth fast and get the pain over and it hurts less than prying it out slowly. That ethos has been lost and we pussy-foot around and more and more people get hurt unnecessarily to appease the deathrats.
I have compassion for the people that die in the desert too. If they weren't encouraged to come, they wouldn't meet a horrible end in the desert. You don't see the ACLU out there giving THEM aid and comfort. No, the only ones that ever help them is people like the minutemen who are out there to stop them, but end up helping and saving them too.
Frickin' lib-leninists make me so mad, some times I'd like to walk up to one and say "you can't understand this" and slap him and walk away, to paraphrase the NY councilman who wanted to do that to a random white person.
Wonder how many Legals are not Legal.?..
That's a fairly mild way of describing how I feel towards our citizens that are touting border fence building or increased patrols. It would be comparable to me having neighbor kids coming onto my property, stealing from my family and hurting me children. Am I supposed to tell my family, "Hey listen, I'm going to take some of the money we've set aside for your upbringing and college and build a fence to possibly limit some of the activities of the neighbor kids."? HELL NO! I'm taking this up with the neighbor, and will make it perfectly clear how I will retaliate if anything else happens, and if they want to stay safe, they need to control their kids, and build a fence if necessary to contain them. I've been down this road in real life, and the neighbors always view me with a cautious eye after, and suddenly think they may need the police to protect them, but there was never another problem of any sort.
If we have to spend any more tax dollars because of the border problems, let it be on the military with the sole purpose of destroying their government, ending their corruption, and finally allowing their people to enjoy Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness that comes with our Constitution. The vast majority of Mexican people would relish an opportunity to head back home, reunite with their families and enjoy the way of life they come here seeking.
There may be a few elected office holders that would be willing to take such a bold step, but for the most part I see the Democrats like a whimpering dog afraid of its own shadow, and the Republicans like a guard dog that's got all bark and no bite. Me, I'm like the junkyard dog ready to fight for all that is mine, and all that is mine to protect. The two major parties, and all the smaller ones need to understand there's nothing to negotiate.
I'm banging my drum alone now, but hope others will bang their drums too when they realize taking the remainder of Mexico is the solution to the problem. Mexico can come peacefully by dissolving their government and becoming US Territories so we can send in as many US Marshals as needed to establish law and order, or we exercise the military option and forcibly take it before sending in the Marshals.
Two other things are really bothering me. Back to the wall, what happened to the citizens that grew up hating the Berlin Wall? A border wall will not only serve to keep Mexicans out, but could easily be used to keep Americans in. Stalin would be rolling in his grave with laughter hearing this proposal. The other piss poor idea is requiring a national ID. That's only going to apply to people within the law. Does anyone really think criminals outside the law would do this simply because it's the law? This suggestion is meant to control law abiding citizens further. To prove my point, who bothers registering guns right now, is it the law abiding citizen, the criminals, or both? It's only the law abiding citizen.
Okay, I'll bite. What the hell good are the troops even doing in Iraq if our borders are wide open for every Tom, Dick and Terrorist to pass across? We should have sealed them the day after 911 and assured they were completely secure before venturing out to guard Iraq's borders.

YOu got me there partner. I cant answer that. I would have thought to have our army secure our own borders first, before we send them away, but then, I didnt study military strategy at West Point.
Isnt bush's Iraq policy of sending our army away without protecting our border first, out of some "B" western where the apaches get the soldiers in the fort to all leave on a wild goose chase so they can then attack the fort which is no longer defended?

McCulloch Emphasizes Voters' Rights and Responsibilities for Ballot Initiatives Discusses Recent Allegations of Possible Signature Gathering Violations
HELENA - Montana's Chief Elections Officer Linda McCulloch announced today that she has recently been notified of allegations of possible statutory violations by signature gatherers circulating petitions in Montana, and used the opportunity to remind Montana voters of their rights and responsibilities when considering ballot initiative petitions.
"Signature gathering is an important part of the elections process," McCulloch said. "It gives voters the opportunity to decide what measures are important to them, and what will appear on the general election ballot."
McCulloch sent a letter today to each of the 13 ballot issue sponsors that are currently on file with the Secretary of State's office, reminding them that any violation to the statutory requirements regarding who may petition and gather signatures for a proposed ballot measure carries a misdemeanor penalty and should promptly be reported to both the Commissioner of Political Practices and the Attorney General.
"I want every signature to count," McCulloch continued. "That means working to ensure that signatures aren't tossed in the trash due to illegal signature gathering activities."
At a press conference today, McCulloch urged Montana voters to consider the following steps to help ensure all measures reach the ballot through legal and legitimate means:
- Read the entire petition before you sign it.
- If you have questions, ask questions.
- Promptly report any suspicious signature gathering activity.
- If you're unsure, think it over.
- The deadline for sponsors to submit petitions is June 18.
- Voters can sign or withdraw their signature until petitions are submitted.
McCulloch reminded the public that the law states they must be a registered voter in the State of Montana for their signature to count. Signature gatherers must be a Montana resident, and may not be paid anything of value based upon the number of signatures gathered. (MCA 13-27-102) The law also requires signature gatherers to sign an affidavit stating that they personally gathered each signature, and that the signers knew the contents of the petition before signing the petition. (MCA 13-27-302)
Read the letter McCulloch sent to sponsors.

ROSWELL — After finishing second in the state Class 1A-3A state tourament last season, Portales boys soccer coach Brian Kirchner tried to toughen up the Rams' schedule this season.
So far, they're paying a price in the win-loss column, but Kirchner is hoping the experience pays off down the line.
PHS played without two injured starters and another out for disciplinary reasons on Thursday, Kirchner said, and came up short in a 6-3 loss at Class 4A Roswell High.
The Rams (4-6) face Class 5A Hobbs in a 1 p.m. home matchup on Saturday, and have already lost an overtime decision to Class 5A neighbor Clovis.
PHS twice tied the Coyotes, the latter at 3-3 on a goal by Zach Blaeser off a free kick by senior Tyler Kangas early in the second half. Roswell High's Jesus Sotelo countered a couple of minutes later with the third of his four goals in the match to put the Coyotes (8-6) in front for good.
The Rams were coming off a 4-0 loss at New Mexico Military on Tuesday.
"I'm never happy with a loss, but I'm much more pleased with how we played overall today, especially after Tuesday," Kirchner said. "We had probably two or three point-blank (shots) that we missed, and on defense we had some mental errors where they shouldn't have scored."
Senior Brandon Gomez wiped out an early 2-0 deficit with a pair of goals in a span of about four minutes for Portales, the latter off a free kick, but Sotelo put the Coyotes in front 3-2 at halftime with his second goal about a minute later.
"Despite being down some guys, we're trying to fight through this," Kirchner said. "We're hoping this tough competition gets us ready for state later on."
Lady Rams edged by Artesia — At Artesia, the Portales Lady Rams led for more than 70 minutes before the host Lady Bulldogs punched in a pair of goals for a 2-1 victory.
Jessica Leap scored in the eighth minute, off an assist from Alma Gonzales, and that score held up until Ashley Boyce scored for Artesia in the 72nd minute. Delaney Maynard then got the game-winner with about two minutes left when her corner kick snuck into the goal.
"We didn't think it went in, but the referees did," PHS coach Megan Wilson said. "From where we were, we really couldn't tell for sure."
Portales (4-8) had a 12-11 advantage in shots on goal, but after dominating play in the first half the Lady Rams saw Artesia take control after the break.
"We played an amazing first half, the best I've seen us play, but we were defending the entire second half," Wilson said. "When that happens, it's only a matter of time before they get one in.
"We dominated the first half, but we should've scored more goals."
The Lady Rams are idle until hosting Desert Academy in a District 2/1A-3A match on Oct. 6.

Like fashion, music trends go in cycles. Artists get nostalgic for the stuff they listened to as kids and try to bring it back. That's why there are music fads from the 80s and 90s due to jump back on center stage at any moment. Ladies and gentlemen, there must be a way to stop them.
Here are trends that must remain in the past... at all costs.
7Child Exploitation in Rap
At an age when you were having your first wet dreams about April O'Neil (or, in some cases, Krang), some kids were actually making something of their pubescence. Perhaps due to the tragic post-80s decline of the Jackson Five, in the 90s the world just needed children rapping. And, if possible, wearing their clothes backwards.
Kriss Kross. Another Bad Creation (ABC). Lil Bow Wow (who ran out of 'Dog' puns after his third album).
Current Threats:
Seven year-old Bentley Green is out there plugging away, hoping the fad comes back before he's too old to take advantage (he started his MySpace when he was five freaking years old).
His big YouTube track has gotten three million hits and he's performed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, where Ellen and the crowd treated him exactly like a puppy.
"Who's a big, cranky rapper? You are! Yes you are!"
There's real danger here, because he has the same "Aw, he's adorable!" factor with the housewives that made Kriss Kross mainstream, without the horrified moment when they realized the Kriss Kross kids were calling themselves "Mack Daddy" (which literally meant they were claiming to be 12 year-old pimps). In a couple of years this kid could have a merchandising empire that dwarfs Hanna Montanna.
Whatever happened to all of kiddie rapper acts, anyway? We're kind of shocked that none of them have their own reality TV show, following their sad lives as they prepare for a revival tour, using their old material. Cue uncomfortable scenes of re-learning lyrics about playgrounds, juxtaposed with one rapper getting high and trying to round up three hookers for a fourgy. Really cheap, filthy hookers.
6Charity Supergroup Songs
There was a time when pop artists cared about the plight of the unfortunate. Every so often, they'd look up from their gold-plated plate of gold-plated coke, turn to their busty companion, and realize that dammit, all is not right in the world.
And they could do something to help: they could sing about it. Or even better, get a bunch of their famous friends together to sing about it.
"We Are the World" (1985), "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (1984), "Feed the World" (1984), "Voices That Care" (1991).
Current Threats:
There was a whole mess of songs devoted to Hurricane Katrina but you'll notice all of the stars went it alone, rather than go the supergroup route. Apparently today's pop stars hate each other so much that not even Bob Geldof could shoehorn them all into a studio to record one track.
Poor, lonely Bob.
That, or none wanted to share the feel-good spotlight with 50 other stars. They all needed their moment, man.
No, the closest we got was Come Together Now, a "supergroup" formed by the likes of quickly forgotten American Idol Ruben Studdard and Celine Dion. Even though it was dedicated to both the 2004 Tsunami disaster and Hurricane Katrina, it never got higher than #13 on the charts.
Still, with events like Live Earth and no shortage of horrors in the world, it's just a matter of time until the track, "You Know, In Some Parts of the World Ten Year Olds Are Sold as Sex Slaves, For Old Western Men to Sodomize Them, And Babies Get Shot in The Eye Like it's No Big Thing. It's So Messed Up, Man" will hit the charts, featuring the vocal stylings of Will Smith, R Kelly, Lionel Richie and a cast of dozens of other celebrities eager to promote new films and albums.

Gemma Ward Is Not Retiring, But Still Not Walking
Yesterday reports surfaced that Gemma Ward, the baby-faced, blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty, would be retiring from modeling to pursue her blossoming acting career. But today we have news to the contrary, straight from the model herself.
"I was surprised to wake up this morning and read news of my own retirement. While I am taking some time off currently to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family, I am still very much a (excited and enthusiastic) working model and actress. I'm only 20, for God's sakes."
Hear that? She's only 20. Let the girl have a break! Her agency, IMG, did confirm for us, however, that she will be taking off through the end of September, which means we won't be seeing her on the spring 2009 runways. That said, we'll be watching carefully to see where she plants herself for her modeling reappearance. It's bound to be something big.

A member of the Owens Community College golf team was hurt seriously last night during an apparent altercation in Rossford, authorities said.
Jay Dalgarn III, 19, of Pataskala, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, was admitted to the neurology intensive care unit at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. His condition was not available early today.
Rossford police were called to the 100 block of Maple Street about 7 p.m. on a report of an assault. Police believe there was some sort of confrontation in a parking lot, and Mr. Dalgarn was struck in the head with a golf club.
The suspect fled the scene, but was located later at a gas station on Miami Street in East Toledo, police said.
Shawn Bryan, 21, of 2322 Taft St., Oregon, who was charged with felonious assault and vandalism, injured himself by banging his head against the jail cell in the Rossford police station. He was treated at St. Charles Mercy Hospital before being booked into the Wood County jail.
Jim Welling, Owens' director of student enrichment and athletics, who is the golf coach, could not be reached for comment.

When choosing a custom suit, one of the most important elements that make up a beautiful suit is what type of fabric to use. There are a dizzying array of cloth types, weights, "super" numbers and many more criteria to choose from. Nowadays most suits are made from wool. There are two main types of wool, the first is worsteds and the second is woollens, where the fibers are not combined before spinning. Worsteds are the more popular and higher quality of the wools which most expensive suits are made out of. The most common scoring that is used for wool is the Super Number. This number can be a very tricky indicator of the quality of the wool. The Super Number indicates the fineness of the wool, measured in microns, used in making the cloth. This number system originated in England and was meant to qualify the fineness of the yarn. The worsted count was the number of 560 yard lengths of worsted yarn that a pound of wool yields. The finer the wool, the more yarn is produced and the higher the count.
The International Wool Textile Organization (IWTO) governs the Super Number designations. According to the IWTO, the Super Number correlates to the maximum fiber thickness where 80s must have a fiber thickness of 10.75 microns and 90s must have 10.25 and so on. Each number increment (80, 90, 100 etc) refers to 0.5 microns.
So although the higher the Super Number, the finer the fabric, bigger isn't necessarily better. The more narrow the fibers, the more fragile they become and can't be worn on a regular basis and on top of that may not last that long either. Another negative about high Super Numbers is that they wrinkle more easily than lower numbers, say Super 120s.
Manufacturers these days have been using the Super Number as a marketing device. They know that people are looking for a higher number and they associate that number with higher quality and luxury. There are high quality manufacturers and big retailers like Zegna, Oxxford and Stafford that either stopped using the S-Number system altogether or greatly limited it's use to only Super 150s or greater.
As wool suits are good for all year around because of their smooth texture and their ability to "breath" well, there are other fabrics that are suited for specific tasks. Linen, for example, is used by Americans in the summer due to it's light weight. On the opposite end, tweed and flannel are two types of wool that are known for their warmth. These are heavier fabrics, tweed being extremely heavy, rough and stiff, used for outdoors and flannel, made of corded wools, which is tough, durable and warm.
Whatever fabric you choose it should drape nicely across your hand and most importantly it should feel good. No matter what anyone tells you about quality or Super count, the fabric has to feel good to you and you alone. Custom suits and clothing are about personal style and this is something that you must remember throughout the process.
In finding the right fabric/color combination, you first have to asses your needs. Do you need something formal, then go with a black suit or tuxedo. For a work suit, grey and navy blue are always safe bets. Going hunting? You may want to look into a tweed suit or jacket. If you are more of a fashion risk taker then go with an more exotic pattern.

With a trip to the district championship and a berth in the region tournament on the line, the Washington County Commanderettes (16-11, 7-2) cruised to a 12-2 win in Monday night's semifinal matchup against Thomas Nelson. The victory was WC's second in a row, following a 5-2 win in the team's regular-season finale against Adair County.
The Mt. Zion Covered Bridge – the longest covered bridge in the state – is getting a facelift.
According to Hamilton Simms of the Washington County Covered Bridge Authority, the bridge is now under construction, and the project, which will take at least 500 days, is the first of its kind since 1982.
Simms said the contractor, Arnold Graton, of Arnold M. Graton Associates, Inc., from New Hampshire, will do the work.
Washington County property owners may be looking at a slight tax increase in the future. That's because the Washington County Board of Education will be considering the same thing several other school districts in Kentucky have: the recallable "nickel" tax.
During last week's meeting, board members voted to hold a public hearing regarding a recallable nickel tax, an approximate 5-cent tax on every $100 of assessed real estate and personal property. The tax does not apply to motor vehicles.
The Washington County Commanderettes (14-10, 6-2) had more hits and fewer errors than the Mercer County Titans (14-13) in a matchup between the two teams on Monday night, but they couldn't pull out a win in a game that went down to the wire, losing 6-5.
Monday night's matchup quickly transformed from a defensive battle to an offensive outburst in the sixth inning after the Titans took a 2-0 lead after five innings.
The Washington County Commanders (17-13, 7-1) picked up their 17th win of the season last week, defeating John Hardin on Friday by a score of 7-2. WC was unable to build off this success, though, losing to Adair County 7-0 the next day before falling 5-4 to the Danville Admirals (19-12) just before press time Monday night.
John Hardin
Washington County tennis player Chase Drury was just one win away from qualifying for the state tournament, but after losing last Wednesday, his season came to a close in the 5th Region Tournament when he lost 6-1, 6-0 to Taylor County's Liam Schaaders, who would go on to win the region tournament.
While the loss was disappointing, head coach Beth Gooch thinks it will only motivate him to make the state tournament next season.
It was almost like a passing of the torch.
At least that was the best way that Washington County's bass fishing head coach Tim Messer could describe it.
This past weekend, there were four WC athletes who participated in the 2016 KHSAA State Bass Fishing Championship on Kentucky Lake — seniors Trevor Sagrecy and Michael Shelton in one boat and sophomore Nathaniel Messer and freshman Mason Hamilton in another.
While many associate Habitat for Humanity as an organization that builds homes, few know that it does more than that.
Rick Wagoner, president of My New Kentucky Home Habitat For Humanity Board this year – which serves Nelson, Marion, and Washington counties - said last week that the group also repairs homes several times a year.
For more than 40 years, Christopher Beverley has traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to stay in Springfield. During that time, he's made friends and laid the foundation for a second family – that's because during that time, he's come for both good times and bad.
Beverley first came to Springfield in 1969 as a student ambassador for the World University Service.
With the second reading of the nuisance ordinance already on the agenda, two Springfield citizens helped further the discussion by bringing up two separate and unrelated nuisance complaints to the Springfield City Council.
First to speak to the council during last week's meeting was Mark Haas, owner of Old and Odd in Nature, located on the corner of Doctor St. and Main St.

The Yakima City Council voted to extend a panhandling ban to a total of 26 intersections in the city. Violators could be fined up to $95.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports one of the intersections is were three panhandlers were recently arrested on suspicion of loitering to purchase heroin..
At Tuesday's meeting the council also voted to ban parking on major streets when more than three inches of snow falls. The city wants to speed up plowing of arterials and downtown streets, and the new ordinance means cars left on the snow-covered streets can be ticketed and towed.

With a combined three wins, this season's Tennessee-Georgia game is not quite the marquee matchup it has been in recent years, but it is just as meaningful.
Derek Dooley needs to get his first SEC win, and at 1-4, it seems like Georgia is the perfect subject.
But it's not going to be as easy as everyone thinks.
Georgia may have lost to the likes of Colorado and Mississippi State, but they made Ryan Mallett of Arkansas show his Heisman mettle by beating them with a late drive to the end zone, leaving the Bulldogs only 15 seconds to try to tie it up. Even then they almost tied it with a Hail Mary.
By the way, that was without A.J. Green.
That leads me to the first thing Tennessee has to do to get out of Athens alive...

Invasive Species
Jack Ballard
April 16, 2012
Filed under Feature Stories
What's the greatest threat to natural ecosystems in North America? Forget global warming. Quit pondering pollution. A growing number of scientists are convinced the evidence shows that invasive species pose a stronger risk to many ecosystems.
According to the National Invasive Species Information Center (NISIC), two characteristics make an organism invasive. First, it is alien to the ecosystem under consideration. Second, its introduction causes or is likely to cause environmental or economic harm. Some non-native species such ring-necked pheasants were deliberately introduced to America, yet do not cause negative impacts to the environment. On the other hand are species such as house sparrows and European starlings, both of which displace native birds from nesting sites and may become agricultural pests. Starlings and house sparrows meet the technical classification of invasive species while ring-necked pheasants do not.
Invasive species include all types of organisms: animals, birds, plants, aquatic creatures, insects and microbes. In some cases, non-native species may threaten the very existence of the local organisms. Zebra mussels, an exotic shellfish from the Black and Caspian seas, found their way to North America's Great Lakes in the bilge water of ships. These tiny mussels soon starved out native mussels in many areas, also disrupting the food chain that nourished larger creatures such as salmon and trout. Where they've become established, the presence of zebra mussels has eliminated or compromised the very existence of many native, water-dwelling creatures.
Like it or not, invasive species are here to stay. But motivated people can significantly reduce their impacts on native environments. Here are some ways you can combat various categories of invasive species.
When camping, hiking or traveling, be aware of your potential to transplant. Seeds from harmful plants can lodge in the cuffs of pants or in the creases of hiking boots. They'll stick to mud on your car or get caught in the bumper. Educate yourself on invasive plants where you recreate and don't be a seed spreader. Also avoid transporting firewood from one location to another as exotic insects and diseases can be carried in wood as well.
Individuals transporting watercraft such as boats, canoes and kayaks must be especially vigilant as these organisms often hitchhike from one body of water to another. Follow state agency recommendations for cleaning your craft, or rent a boat from a local source.
Anglers can also accidentally transport aquatic invasives on their waders and fishing gear. Educate yourself on methods for keeping your fishing gear clear of non-natives. Conservation groups such as Trout Unlimited are excellent resources.
Wildlife agencies also need our help managing the spread of non-native species. Nationwide, the cost of effective control efforts requires billions of dollars. Your contribution to local efforts is important. For example, a lake I frequent in New York's Adirondack Park has become infested by Eurasian milfoil. A local conservation group is working diligently to stop its spread with much of the group's efforts funded by donations. Each year I make a contribution.
No matter how you participate, our native species of plants and wildlife are dependent upon our vigilant efforts to combat alien invaders.

Khemosabi++++// is the most beloved Arabian of all times. No other horse has, ever been held in such high esteem as Khemosabi. He has been called the greatest ambassador the Arabian breed has ever had, the superhorse of the 20th century, a leading sire, a record-setter and a legend. He captivated and entranced generations of people from all over the world and united a network of friends that knew no age, cultural or economic barriers because they shared the common interest – Khemosabi. The world's 34-year love affair with Khemosabi did not end with his death. He has been immortalized forever in poetry, prose, art and various memorials. He will live forever in the hearts of "his people" and in each newborn foal that carries his blood on into each succeeding generation.
Khemosabi is the Top producing Arabian Stallion of all-time. Khemosabi++++// is a U.S. and Canadian National Champion Stallion and U.S. and Canadian National Champion Western Pleasure winner. In today's Arabian world, this record, both halter and performance, is unheard of. Khemosabi represents the best of both worlds – pretty and correct conformation and the ability to perform in many different disciplines. Today, once a stallion is a National Champion in Halter, he is retired and is usually never proven in the performance world. Khemosabi still is a leading sire in several performance divisions. He is still hard to beat even years after his death! He has sired over 320 champions and 88 National winners in halter and performance (of course including his son Kakhem Sahib++/ who is twice Reserve National Champion Working Cow Horse). Khemosabi++++// has sired over 50 sons who have sired champions (Of course including Kakhem Sahib++// who has sired several winners at the national level). Khemosabi himself is the product of two National Champions. His sire, Amerigo, is a U.S. Reserve National Champion Stallion and a sire of seven national winners. Khemosabi++++// is out of Reserve National Champion English and Western Pleasure and Top Ten Mare Jurneeka++ who was the dam of five champions.
Both inside the arena and out, Khemosabi was a Champion. His kind heart and athletic ability had an impact on all who had the opportunity to see him in person. I am fortunate to have "met" Khemosabi on three occasions. I was one of those "strange" types that would plan vacations around visiting him – kind of a pilgrimage of sorts. His kind eye and his beautiful face made my heart melt every time I visited. I'm so glad he had athletic ability and a great performance record backing him because, once I saw him, I never looked beyond his "beautiful face." Thankfully, for my breeding program, I chose a champion in both fields – both pretty and performance. I will never forget my visits with Khemo and the dream he inspired in me. Now, I have the opportunity to share the dream with others. I have great Khemosabi son, who represents his sire very well in both athletic ability, attitude and beauty. I want to share him with all of you who have a "dream" as I did as a small child. I also have foals out of another great Khemosabi son name "Nodoubtaboutit" ( Khemosabi x Jus Ultima). These girls are beautiful and they have brains and athletic ability. Their father "Doubt" was a living legend that no one ever knew about. He was beautiful (beyond belief), athletic (unbelievable) and kind
(my 4-year-old daughter could ride him anywhere.) It was this Khemosabi son that started my entire program. "Nodoubtaboutit" was a legend in my mind. He was bred to be a winner – his mother a Top 10 winner in both Western and English pleasure (just like Khemosabi's dam Jurneeka). She was also 16 hands tall, so she is responsible for a lot of athletic ability and height in my breeding program. Jus Ultima was a great producing and performance mare, but most of all, she was loved and owned by my friend Myrna Heldfond. Myrna loved this mare (her name was "legs"). Legs was lucky to have such a loving and caring owner that took her on frequent trail rides and often "spoiled" her with love and affection. Her son "Nodoubtaboutit" , by Khemosabi, was also loved his entire 26 years. He lived in Montana – so he never acquired the high-gloss, show-ring status of some Khemosabi sons, but he rode in the mountains, the local parades and cut cows with best. He did have a show record in Halter and Western Pleasure, but his true-love was riding in the mountains and chasing cows. He was the best trail horse leader – ever. So, it is his heart, and that of his parents, Khemosabi and Jus Ultima, that is the true heart-beat of my breeding program. My Khemosabi bred horses have heart, ability, personality and charm – just like their great Sire and Grand sire Khemosabi. Please call me direct if you would like anymore information about my horses at 970-641-9043. Or visit us at www.powderhorncreekranch.com.

Ichthyomyzon gagei Hubbs and Trautman, 1937
Southern Brook Lamprey
Click to enlarge
Basis for Listing
The geographic range of the southern brook lamprey is centered in the southern United States. It was unknown in Minnesota waters until 1985, when it was taken from a small tributary of the St. Croix River (Cochran 1987). As of 2008, the species had been collected from 31 sites in the St. Croix River and its tributaries in Carlton, Chisago, Kanabec, Pine, and Washington counties. The southern brook lamprey was listed as a special concern species in Minnesota in 1996 because of its very limited range in the state, the fact that it is disjunct from the contiguous southern populations and represents either a new species or a relict of the southern populations, and because of the vulnerability of its habitat to degradation.
The southern brook lamprey has a single dorsal fin that is divided into 2 lobes. Its mouth is a sucking disc with circumoral teeth that are bicuspid, distinguishing it from the northern brook lamprey (Ichthyomyzon fossor). The southern brook lamprey also has an oral disc that is narrower than its head and it reaches a maximum length of 16 cm (6.3 in.), which distinguishes it from the chestnut lamprey (I. castaneus). Adult southern brook lampreys are grayish or tan above and lighter below. Ammocoetes, the larval form, lack eyes, have a hood-like mouth instead of a sucking disc, and lateral line pores that are darker than their background (Hatch et al. in preparation).
The southern brook lamprey uses different microhabitats during different portions of its life history. Adults are found in very clear, small to large streams and rivers, with swift, permanent flow over sand and gravel riffles. Ammocoetes (larvae) are found burrowed in fine sediment or organic debris in areas with embedded woody debris, usually in lower gradient stream segments, and sometimes in silt pockets behind obstructions in main channels. Southern brook lampreys tend to be found where water is shallow, less than 1 m (3.3 ft.) deep, and may be found in waters cool enough to support trout. Spawning is associated with gravel substrate at the head of riffles and may occur in crevices beneath rocks and boulders. Frequent ecological associates include common shiners (Luxilus cornutus), longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae), hornyhead chubs (Nocomis biguttatus), johnny darters (Etheostoma nigrum), and mottled sculpins (Cottus bairdi) (Hatch et al. in preparation).
Biology / Life History
The southern brook lamprey is a non-parasitic species. It spends the majority of its life, 3-4 years, as an ammocoete partially buried in sandy substrate. Ammocoetes feed on drifting, suspended organic detritus, algae, and bacteria or nutrients drawn from the surrounding sediment. Transformation to adults occurs over 2-3 months in late summer or early fall. As adults, southern brook lampreys do not feed. During spring, adults make an oval depression in the substrate by displacing stones and organic material with their oral discs, into which they spawn. They may spawn in aggregations of as many as 40 individuals. The spawning period is brief (< 1 week) and adults die a few days thereafter (Hatch et al. in preparation).
Conservation / Management
Although the southern brook lamprey population in Minnesota is apparently healthy, it is limited in range and highly disjunct from the southern population. This makes the population especially vulnerable to impacts such as habitat degradation. Additional research needs for the southern brook lamprey include Minnesota life history studies, genetic analysis, and identification of habitat guilds.
Conservation Efforts in Minnesota
More information about the southern brook lamprey's distribution, population size, genetics, and habitat requirements in Minnesota are necessary to better conserve this species. Lyons et al. (1997) found the species to be much more widespread in Wisconsin than just the St. Croix drainage, and this could be the case in Minnesota as well.
