Skype Grows Up, Goes To Work
Skype for Windows 8 uses the Windows Messenger infrastructure for storing pictures, video and other content on Windows' cloud platform.
Following the reinvention of Windows, Microsoft is now busily reinventing Skype. As part of that continuing effort, on Thursday the technology giant unveiled Skype in the Workspace (SITW).
The new, free online platform is intended to foster the creation of a community for small-and medium-sized businesses, where users post and respond to opportunities, and follow up with IM, phone calls and video demonstrations. The launch of the free Skype community comes after a six-month beta trial in which 500 businesses tested out the platform.
One of those users cited by Microsoft is Alison Coward, owner of a London creative collaboration agency called Bracket. She told news media that SITW is "the perfect platform for me to promote my business and connect with the people who can help it to grow," because the service can be used to find "quality leads without ever leaving my office."
Meetings, Testimonials
Users can logon onto SITW with their Skype or LinkedIn IDs, and then post or reply to offers or opportunities. Some opportunities are presented at logon, and there is a basic search engine to find additional connections. Users first connect through email, and then can graduate to voice or video sessions if both parties so desire. There is also a meeting notification service, and the ability for contacts or customers to provide a testimonial about a given product, service, or company.
The newest incarnation of Skype follows a series of announcements by Microsoft, as it works to find new ways of utilizing its $8.5 billion purchase of the popular, Net-based voice-and-video communication service.
Coincident with the official launch of Windows 8 at the end of last month, the company announced a "re-imagined Skype" for Windows 8 devices that utilizes the tile-based user interface formerly known as Metro. Skype for Windows 8 uses the Windows Messenger infrastructure for storing pictures, video and other content Relevant Products/Services on Windows' cloud Relevant Products/Services platform, Azure, as the Messenger brand and service get folded into Skype.
'Octopus with No Control'
But Brad Shimmin, an analyst with industry research firm Current Analysis, said that the various incarnations of Skype "worry me a bit," in that they seem like "an octopus with no control over its arms."
He pointed out that, in the collaborative business space, Microsoft also has Lync, which is more focused on inside-the-firewall communications while Skype focuses more on outside. Recently though, the company has said Lync is targeted at large enterprises while Skype in the Workspace tackles small businesses. There's also Sharepoint, Shimmin noted, and Office 365, which integrates with both Lync and Sharepoint. Earlier this week, Microsoft began transitioning Messenger users to Skype, and it has begun to integrate Skype throughout its Office productivity suite.
"What Microsoft needs to do," he said, "is create an infrastructure that supports" all of these services, along with an integrated branding and marketing that is more oriented toward the needs of businesses and less oriented toward "trying to turn an infrastructure tool like Skype into a destination."

Reviews for this host's other properties
Richard is a great host,
It was easy to get the keys, the appartment had everything you need like towls, coffee machine etc. Not the newest equipment but sufficient. The location of the appartment is great. It's right at one of the most poular view points of Lissabon with lots of places to eat or just go out in the neighborhood. Even though the appartment is at one of the hot spots to go out it is very quiet. The appartment itself and the furniture has come to age and it is darker than it looks on the fotos.
I had a lovely 2 night stay in this authentic Lisbon apartment! It is located in the Bairro Alto but in one of the calmer streets which means having a blast in the quarters full streets is just a few minutes away from a nice and calm sleep. :)
I felt like a native in this apartment as it is furnished in this great authentic Lisbon style. Richard was a great host, all the communication was really quick and easy.
Thanks Richard for this great experience. I'm sure it was not my last visit in this fantastic city!
Nice place, everything easy (Keys pick-up/drop off) perfect location.
Thanks Richard for being so available!
Great location, nice apartment
Lovely flat, great location!
Richard welcomed us on arrival. He came to help us with our luggage, we enjoyed. He quickly explained us Internet and beds and then quickly left. The apartment was well positioned, close to the historic center but dirty: clean n had not been done: the food was really dirty table not cleaned, dirty fridge, ditto for closets (with inside and outside), crumbs on the work plan, and the toaster covered in dust, unusable kettle (the heaters were all black). . . We bought a sponge and dishwashing liquid to a minimum. . . Odors in the bathroom, cutting down broken toilet, a pity because the apartment would charm if it was a bit renovated and mostly clean. I had not booked this apartment at the beginning, Richard offered me as a replacement because he apparently has several apartments in the city, but with our 2 children 11 and 13 years old, beds were limits; my daughter slept on a tiny fireside, and my son on a folding bed rather narrow. I was disappointed with this apartment (2nd experience at wimdu) fortunately we were only ny for breakfast, and anyway, the apartment was not giving like cooking! And 4 Unable to stand around the small kitchen table. This apartment will be rented for 2 but certainly not for 4 !!! Manic refrain. . . In summary, I would not advise this apartment.
Richard nous a bien accueilli à notre arrivée. Il est venu nous aider à porter nos valises, nous avons apprécié. Il nous a rapidement expliqué Internet et les couchages puis et vite reparti. L appartement était bien placé, proche du centre historique mais sale : le ménage n avait pas été fait : la cuisine était vraiment sale, table pas nettoyée, réfrigérateur sale, idem pour les placards ( à l intérieur comme à l extérieur), des miettes sur le plan de travail, et dans le grille pain recouvert de poussière, bouilloire inutilisable (les résistances étaient toutes noires) . . . Nous avons acheté une éponge et du produit à vaisselle pour un minimum . . . Odeurs dans la salle de bain, abattant des toilettes cassée, dommage car l appartement aurait du charme s il était un peu rénové et surtout propre. Je n avais pas réservé cet appartement au début, richard me l a proposé en remplacement car il a apparemment plusieurs appartements dans la ville, mais avec nos 2 enfants de 11 et 13 ans, les couchages étaient limites; ma fille a dormi sur une chauffeuse minuscule, et mon fils sur un lit pliant plutôt étroit. j ai été déçu par cet appartement, ( 2 eme expérience chez wimdu) heureusement, nous n y étions que pour le petit déjeuner, et de toute façon, l appartement ne donnait pas envie de cuisiner ! Et à 4 Impossible de tenir autour de la petite table de la cuisine . Cet appartement devrait être loué pour 2 mais sûrement pas pour 4 !!! Maniaque s abstenir . . . Pour résumé, Je ne conseillerai pas cet appartement.
My boyfriend and me had a very very very great time in this very cosy and full equipped apartment. It's very central for those who want to spent time in the scene clubs / and bars of lisabon. Bars,supermarkets, bus/train stations are very close by foot. Richard is a very smart and nice host.
Thank you again.
Luisa /Julian
Highly recommended. Very nice, clean and with all the necessary floor. Very convenient! The only negative block the narrow stairs but nothing more, for the great rest!
Muy recomendable. El piso muy agradable, limpio y con todo lo necesario. Muy bien situado! Lo único negativo las angostas escaleras del bloque pero nada mas, por el resto genial!
We spent a few days visiting Lisbon. The apartment well located to avoid having to move the car. We had trouble finding the apartment but Richard helped us by phone. The apartment is a 4th floor without elevator and the stairs do not have electricity so at night you see nothing. The apartment has a flashlight to fix it. That would be something to consider. Otherwise the right apartment. They should talk to other neighbors and put a light on each floor ... Generally well equipped the apartment with everything you need. Thanks Richard
Pasamos unos días visitando Lisboa. El apartamento bien ubicado para no tener que mover el coche. Tuvimos problema de encontrar el apartamento pero Richard nos ayudo por teléfono. El apartamento es un 4º piso sin ascensor y las escaleras no tienen luz por lo que en la noche no se ve nada. En el apartamento hay una linterna para solucionarlo. Eso seria algo a tener en cuenta. Por lo demás el apartamento correcto. Deberian hablar con los demás vecinos y poner una luz en cada piso... En general bien equipado el apartamento con todo lo necesario. Gracias Richard
Perfect location to explore the old town. Well equiped, comfortable.
I would say the only downside to this appartement was the squeaking bed.
It's definitely nice place to stay!

High School Teacher Accused of Giving Drugs to Student
A high school English teacher in Lynn, Massachusetts pleaded not guilty after being arrested for allegedly giving marijuana to a 17-year-old student.
Charles Saltzman, 50, of Swampscott is a teacher at Lynn English High School. He was arrested Tuesday after a student said Saltzman gave her marijuana twice in two weeks.
"At school I'm hearing he's giving drugs to kids and I'm like, he never tried anything like that with us. So I was like, I can't believe it," said Sholonda Ross, an upset student.
A police report says Saltzman deliberately gave the student pot in a hallway out of surveillance camera range.
According to the teen, it wasn't the first time he's given her pot.
"I'm mad. I'm mad as hell. I can't believe something like this is happening. It's a shocker," the student's mother said. "I felt like my daughter was violated. I'm concerned for my daughter's safety and for the safety of other children at the high school."
Parents are furious, but many students don't believe the allegations.
They claim Saltzman is a good teacher and a quiet man who didn't get too involved with anyone.
"It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous to give kids weed -- that's crazy. That goes against everything I believe in. He needs to be fired...He needs to be prosecuted," said Doreen Rushins, an upset parent.

December 2007
Part II
Planning and Implementing Online Courses to Advance Student Learning
The appeal of online learning may be captured most concisely in the motto of the Orlando-based Florida Virtual School (FLVS), one of the country's earliest providers of online courses: "Any time, any place, any path, any pace." At its founding a decade ago, FLVS was one of only a handful of statewide or national providers of Web-based courses in the country. As of mid-2007, there were 25 statewide providers (i.e., those based in and primarily serving a single state), 24 and the number of university-based, district-based, and private for-profit providers is growing as well. All offer some type of advanced course work.
Thus, districts and schools that recognize the potential of online classes to enhance and equalize students' education opportunities, including broadening access to advanced content, will find it easier than ever to connect with a provider that offers the courses their students need. Before doing so, however, it is helpful to have a basic understanding of what to look for in an online provider and of the kind of districtor school-provider partnership that most readily lends itself to student success with this alternative— but increasingly common—approach to delivering advanced courses.

Assemblyman Das Williams Says Drought Solutions May be Close By
Urges conservation of above and underground water instead of expensive options
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Assemblyman Das Williams remembers the drought of the early 1990's and doesn't believe expensive solutions are needed now to get California through the current water crisis.
"Last time we faced a drought like this in the early 90's we collectively did panic and we embraced solutions that were very expensive and that we did not need," said Williams.
He recalls the water desalination plant that cost Santa Barbara and regional water districts $34-million. It was tested but never used on a regular basis.
Today it sits idle a few blocks from the beach.
To restart it would require new parts, and additional costs.
This time around, Williams does not want to see new water projects hooked up but instead, more water savings from residents locally and across the state.
" I think the answer is not necessarily more but to use better what we have. That is where we have been more successful in the past. So if you look at the past where we have gotten more water is by conserving," said Williams.
He also favors bond measures that would generate funds to help ease the water crisis, and help residents lower their water use with low flow shower heads, toilets with smaller water tanks and landscaping systems with special spray heads.
Restaurants like Joe's Cafe have already begun a conservation plan and serve water only on request. Special signs on each table tell the guests about the drought and offer water to everyone, if they want it. A cutback in this area, saves the water used to fill the glass and the water needed to wash the glass.

Developer: Perpetual Entertainment
Publisher: Platform Publishing and Perpetual Entertainment

Game Description:
Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising brings the bold and dramatic world of ancient Rome online. As Rome grows into its role as a Republic, enemies from Carthage, Gaul and other nations seek their share of the treasures of this new empire. Furthermore, monstrous creatures of myth, such as Gorgons, Minotaurs and Furies roam the land and threaten the safety of Rome. As heroes of the republic, players will embark on epic quests to defend the empire, protect its interests and people, and serve one of the ancient Gods of Roman myth. This alliance with the gods will provide the player with incredible "god powers" that can be wielded in battle against monsters as well as against other players in Player vs. Player (PvP) combat.

Shortage of high-quality city office space.
New research by Colliers International indicates the Auckland CBD office market is continuing to move in the landlords' favour, especially for high-quality, well-located buildings.
"While the pace of the shift is still under debate, the results of our 2013 Auckland CBD office survey clearly show a continuation of the trend towards landlords being able to call the shots in leasing deals at the prime end of the sector," says Chris Dibble, Auckland research manager at Colliers International.
"Vacancy in the 'prime' section of the Auckland CBD market, for buildings rated premium and A grade, is now at 7.9 per cent, a level which is below the average of the past two decades," Dibble says.
"The well-publicised shortage of high-quality office space in the Auckland CBD core shows no sign of abating this year, with no major construction projects under way able to alleviate the situation.
"With much of the job growth in the country concentrated in Auckland, whole floors of prime CBD office space are now in very short supply. This has resulted in rents rising and lease incentives diminishing at the prime end of the market."
The Colliers' survey shows overall Auckland CBD vacancy rates fell from 11.3 per cent to 10.6 per cent between the end of 2011 and the end of last year. However, with the secondary vacancy rate having been flat for the past 18 months, the fall in overall vacancy is down to the reduction in availability of prime office space.
Another Colliers' survey, the latest office tenant survey, similarly shows the market moving in favour of landlords. This survey gauges sentiment on market timing, rents, incentives, staffing levels, workspace ratios, workspace designs and more.
"The survey shows interesting discrepancies between landlords' and tenants' reactions to changes in market dynamics," says Dibble. "For example, landlords perceive vacancy rates will decrease much quicker than tenants believe they will."
Sixty-seven per cent of landlords expect the Auckland CBD vacancy rate to decrease over the course of this year, compared with only 16 per cent of tenants.
"Somewhat predictably, however, the results also show Auckland landlords believe face rental rates will increase more quickly than tenants expect them to in 2013," Dibble says.
Fifty-three per cent of landlords expect rents to increase, versus only 38 per cent of tenants. Average prime rents in the Auckland CBD are now at $338/sq m with average secondary rents at $193/sq m.
Prime rents are expected to increase by about 4.5 per cent during the year, Colliers forecasts show. "This is a relatively strong rental increase considering the 34 per cent decline in net effective rents experienced between the end of 2008 and 2011," says Dibble. "Our forecast rental growth is consistent with the levels achieved in 2001 and 2002. We now, with hindsight on our side, look back on this period as the start of the latest upswing in the market."
Throughout the economic downturn, incentives - such as rent-free periods or subsidised interior fit-outs - have been a feature of the office leasing market, especially in secondary-grade buildings.
Colliers' office tenant survey shows the majority of New Zealand tenants expect incentives to increase or remain at current levels this year. But landlords' answers to the same question showed the opposite expectation. "Sixty per cent of Auckland landlords expect incentives to decrease this year, but only 12 per cent of tenants think incentive levels will decline. This shows there is a very wide gulf between landlords' and tenants' expectations of upcoming market conditions."
Two surveys: Auckland office market
Auckland office tenant survey Undertaken by: Colliers
International results:
* Shortage of high-quality office space
* Prime rents expected to increase 4.5 per cent this year.

Jackett relishing Wolves' challenge
Kenny Jackett continues to relish the challenge and opportunity he has been handed at Wolves – bringing a major transition to the club but also keeping them at the top of the table.
While Wolves were made one of the promotion favourites at the start of the Sky Bet League One season, Jackett has helped Wolves into second place with 16 games to go with a much-changed team to that which finished last season.
The team which started Saturday's 2-0 win over Notts County contained only two players – Bakary Sako and Nouha Dicko – who started the final game of last season at Brighton and at that point Dicko was on loan and going back to Wigan at the end of the campaign.
Jackett has built what is now almost an entirely new team to try and respond to successive relegations, but while doing so has kept Wolves where they want to be, right in the thick of the promotion race.
"It is a very good challenge for me coming here," says the Head Coach.
"And while you are taking on that challenge and changing things around you have to be at the right end of the league for a club like this in what is the third division.
"We have to combine that with making sure we get results.
"We have changed things around a lot here and I have seen big clubs hang around in this division for two or three years.
"The likes of Nottingham Forest, Leeds, the Sheffield clubs, and Sheffield United are still at the wrong end of the table this season.
"And that's with regularly getting 18,000 to 20,000 people at their ground.
"It needed a quick transition here and to accelerate that transition.
"We needed to keep producing the goods to make sure we were at the right end of the table and competing for those automatic places.
"And the crowds have been fantastic and it just shows you what can happen if you get going at the right end of the table with a chance of success.
"We have a good young group here and are optimistic.
"It is encouraging that players have come through the Academy and the lads we have brought in – such as Michael Jacobs – are young too.
"We have a good group at the moment."
Jacobs is one of the Jackett signings who has hit the ground running at Molineux, notching four goals so far including a brace on Saturday.
Jackett believes his switch from Derby was just one of those situations of needing a fresh start and an extended run in a team.
"I think Derby were looking with a new manager coming in at their own players and some new ones coming in," said Jackett.
"They needed to create some space and he wasn't getting a game.
"If you look at Derby's squad they have got some very good midfield players similar to Michael.
"Sometimes you are at a club and if there are players that are similar to yourself it is difficult.
"We are very pleased with him.
"After a successful loan spell we are pleased that we now have permanently and at his age we think he can go on and be a great player for the club.
"First impressions have been very good."

This weekend's Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo is being reeled in for two weeks.
Tournament director Louis Vallee made the announcement Wednesday, citing a forecast of bad weather over the weekend.
Vallee said the 75th annual event will be postponed for two weeks, moving to the weekend of July 19-21.
Vallee said it was a tough call for him, but one he felt he had to make.
"You want to be safe not sorry," he said. "What we don't want is for somebody to go out there and try and win an award and end up getting struck by lighting or having big waves tip over their boat. We want to make sure this event is fun for all and safe for all.
"That is most important."
Several of the teams entered in the tournament began to consider pulling out when they saw the forecast, Vallee said.
"It is disappointing we have to do this," he said. "A lot of people go through a lot of trouble to pull this tournament off every year. They are excited to be a part of it and it is great to have it over the Fourth of July weekend.
"However, it is not worth the risk to try it this weekend. We have to make sure the safety of all come first."
While he knows the tournament won't be the same without the Fourth celebration surrounding it, Vallee still thinks he will have a good event.
"People will come out and fish and that is the important thing," he said. "We hope that everybody comes back and that we have a good three days of weather to get out on the Gulf and have fun."

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) has once again qualified for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
The CFC is the only officially sanctioned program for soliciting federal government employees on behalf of charitable organizations. The CFC conducts annual campaigns in the federal workplace and allows federal employees to make donations through payroll deductions or other forms of payment to an approved list of charities. It's part of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
The FFRF, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was first included on the CFC list of eligible charities in 2008. Federal workers had contacted the Foundation in the past, noting the many religious charities on the listing, and wishing there were a nontheist alternative," said Annie Laurie Gaylor, Foundation co-president. "We're delighted to announce now again in 2009 that our activities throughout the United States, including the many scholarships we grant students, helped FFRF meet the rigorous eligibility criteria."
The Foundation also may be the first and only state/church watchdog on the list. All dues and donations to the Freedom From Religion Foundation are deductible for income-tax purposes.
"Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc." will appear in the listing of "National/International Independent Organizations" that's published in each local campaign charity list in the early fall.
The solicitation period for 2009 campaign donations is Sept. 1 through Dec. 15, 2009. The CFC code that donors will use to designate their contribution to FFRF is 32519."

Peter Corning directs the Institute for the Study of Complex Systems in Friday Harbor, Washington, a research organization specializing in evolutionary and functional approaches to complexity. His most recent book is Holistic Darwinism: Synergy, Cybernetics, and the Bioeconomics of Evolution (University Of Chicago Press, 2005).
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
After a B.A. from Brown University, I became a naval aviator and served in a fleet squadron for two years, then moved on into journalism, first as a freelance writer, then as an editor at Yachting magazine and finally as a science and space writer at Newsweek. It was the pioneer ethologists of the 1960s who inspired me to go back to graduate school at NYU for a then highly unusual interdisciplinary Ph.D. spanning the social sciences and life sciences. This led to a two-year NIMH postdoc at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado, where I got additional training in the biological sciences and did some pioneering experiments on the genetics of different kinds of aggression. From there I went to Stanford University and taught for many years in the then-new interdisciplinary Human Biology Program. Among other things, this led to my first major book on the role of synergy in evolution, called The Synergism Hypothesis (McGraw-Hill, 1983).
I now head up a small research institute focused on the study of complex systems and have produced various journal articles and two more books about what I refer to as a bioeconomic approach to the evolution of complexity. I also have various "spare time" projects in the works—a two-part article in press on "Synergy Goes to War: An Evolutionary Theory of Collective Violence" and a co-edited volume on the evolution of war, plus a recently published article on the evolution of "fairness" that has drawn me into writing my first novel, an historical epic related to the vicissitudes of social justice over many centuries.
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure? Why did you choose them, and what do you think of them?
Jared Diamond's recent book Collapse (Viking, 2005). This is a vastly important "message" book that has been underappreciated and even unwelcome in some quarters. Diamond warns, vividly, of the great environmental perils that may lie ahead. As a global civilization that is addicted to material progress, we are woefully unprepared for the kinds of ecological disasters that have already happened, repeatedly, in the past. It's a subject I've also written about.
Frans de Waal's newest book, Our Inner Ape (Riverhead Books, 2005). I am one of de Waal's fans and have read almost everything he's done. De Waal exemplifies an older tradition in science writing. He combines deep knowledge with consummate writing skills, mature and balanced judgment and plain good will.
Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons (1962), one of the great stage plays of the 20th century. At a time when venality, partisanship and opportunism dominate our politics, Thomas More provides a still-relevant alternative model—the very definition of a statesman who stood firm for higher principles at the cost of his life. As Bolt describes him in his preface: "Thomas More, as I wrote about him, became for me a man with an adamantine sense of his own self. He knew where he began and left off, what area of himself he could yield to the encroachments of his enemies, and what to the encroachments of those he loved. It was a substantial area in both cases. ... Since he was a clever man and a great lawyer he was able to retire from those areas in wonderfully good order, but at length he was asked to retreat from that final area where he located his self. And there this supple, humorous, unassuming and sophisticated person set like metal, was overtaken by an absolutely primitive rigor, and could no more be budged than a cliff."
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)?
When I am reading—or, better said, "processing"—material for work, it is usually in the office, in the morning. Reading for pleasure is done mostly at night, in our den.
Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why?
This is a hard question. There are so many "favorites." Generally they are first-rate scientists who are also masterful writers. They include Julian Huxley, George Gaylord Simpson, Theodosius Dobzhansky, John Pfeiffer, John Maynard Smith, Edward O. Wilson, Jane Goodall, Carl Zimmer, Jared Diamond, Stephen Jay Gould and others.
What are the three best books you've ever read? Explain.
That's an impossible question for me. I can only think of those that have influenced me profoundly, and there have been many. Among the more important: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (Riverside Press, 1962), Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August (Macmillan, 1962) and The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam (Knopf, 1984) (a revised edition could include Iraq), Arthur Koestler's The Ghost in the Machine (Hutchinson, 1967), Dobzhansky's Mankind Evolving (Yale University Press, 1962), Niko Tinbergen's Social Behavior in Animals (1953), Darrell Huff's How to Lie With Statistics (1954), Nancy Cartwright's How the Laws of Physics Lie (Oxford University Press, 1983), John Tyler Bonner's The Evolution of Culture in Animals (Princeton University Press, 1980), Donald Griffin's Animal Minds (University of Chicago Press, 1992), William T. Powers's Behavior: The Control of Perception (Aldine, 1973), Aristotle's The Politics and, of course, Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species (1859). On The Origin, I should add that a great many people who have been influenced by Darwin's theory have not actually read his masterwork. Too bad, because it is still richly rewarding. He was a superb, even eloquent writer, and he provided an abundance of evidence, and apt examples, drawn from a lifetime of research and reading.
What book has influenced you most? Explain how.
Again, it's impossible to say. All of the above and many more. I'll choose one of the above just to illustrate. Bill Powers's book absolutely demolished the behaviorist learning paradigm, which then dominated psychology. He convincingly showed that the most valid model for how the mind works, in humans and other animals, is a cybernetic control system.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (1813), Carl Sagan's Contact (Simon and Schuster, 1985) and A. S. Byatt's Possession (Random House, 1990), all superb movies or TV series where I would like to read the book and see how it was reshaped for modern media. (An earlier example is Robert Bolt's screenplay for Doctor Zhivago (1965), which was a great improvement on the original.)
What book recommendations do you have for young readers?
There are, of course, many good science books written for young readers. Two that might be overlooked are Lewis Thomas's classic The Lives of a Cell (Viking Press, 1974), an older book but still captivating. Another, more recent book, one that is written for a general audience but is very accessible to young readers as well, is Bernd Heinrich's The Mind of the Raven (Cliff Street Books, 1999). Ed Wilson called it "an amazing book by an amazing author." I'd second that and add that it documents in depth the amazing feats of an amazing bird.
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?
Two of the best recent "overview" books on evolution that are written for a broad audience are Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan's lavishly illustrated What Is Life? (Simon & Schuster, 1995) and A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us, by Sidney Liebes, Elisabet Sahtouris and Brian Swimme (Wiley, 1998).
Name one book in your discipline that you would recommend to scientists outside your field. Explain your choice.
Answering this question is a definite problem for me, since I try to keep abreast of several different disciplines, and there are important books in each of them. But if I had to pick one subject area that spans various disciplines, the evolution of humankind is an example—and a common thread in much of what I have been writing about. So I would recommend the new, up-to-date, fifth edition of Roger Lewin's Human Evolution: An Illustrated Introduction (Blackwell, 2005). Lewin is one of our finest science writers, and these gifts are fully utilized in this classic text. His scholarship is meticulous, his coverage is comprehensive, and his presentation is lively and illuminating. He's another "favorite writer" of mine.

Hi, All! I will be receiving a new queen bee soon. And have read up on the different methods to introduce the
new queen into a hive. Seems like everybody use different ways to do it that works in their situation.
Don't want the queen to get kill again this time. Hive already queenless for 2 weeks now with more field bees than the
young bee. No brood or larvae in the hive now.
My question is after I put the queen in the hive, how long should I wait to check on the queen before releasing her into the hive? Do I have to wait for certain days or just release her to test like the bees willingly to feed and accept her on the first try?
Is there a best method over another? Any experiences or pointers would be very helpful.

The summer is preferable to the winter when it comes to looking for apartments in Austin. The available selection tends to tighten up a little during the winter months. June, July and August are all very good times to start pounding the pavement to find an apartment in Austin.
Finding an apartment can be hard, especially when there are so many choices. Adding a filter can help narrow your search. With our Quick Filters below, you can search by a price and amenities. After following one of these links, be sure to check out the advanced search filters and then sign up for an Email Alert so you can receive new listings that match your needs.
There's no magical secret to finding a great apartment in Austin. Just try to keep in mind the things that landlords want in a good tenant. Things like professionalism, stability, responsibility and good communication skills are all important to landlords. If you can evidence this through your application, interview, or references, you're off to a great start.
Austin is not a walking town, unless you're restraining yourself to the University of Texas campus. Instead, try taking the Capital Metro bus system. There is also a rail line that helps people commute between the northwest and downtown. Driving is an option used by many, but be warned that if you're heading downtown, parking is both expensive and hard to come by.
The Museum is home to both an Art and a Science and History museum, which when combined with the very beautiful campus can make for a perfect outing. The Capitol building is an important and spectacular piece of Texas history. Swimming is a popular activity in the summer heat, and there are several spring fed pools such as Barton Springs pool that are open to the public. Also in the summer, you can check out the world-famous SXSW festivals.

Arsenal's Emirates Stadium has been chosen to demonstrate how major structures in Britain should be built to counter the threat of terrorism.
The Government's Counter Terrorism and Security Minister, Lord West visited the Club's home on Wednesday morning. The visit coincided with the publishing of his report into the vulnerability of crowded places to a terror attack.
He was joined on his tour by Arsenal Director Ken Friar, who was very much involved in the construction of Emirates Stadium, as well as Match Commander Richard Woolford.
Speaking in front of the famous cannons on Hornsey Road, Lord West was delighted with the success of the stadium.
"Here we have an example of exactly what we want to happen across Britain," he said. "That is, in the initial design phase they thought 'terrorism is an issue so how can we make it safer for all the people that will come here?'
"And by thinking about it early, consequently you can ensure the right safety measures have been addressed and it still looks super. I was keen to come up here to show that this is a classic example.
"It is most impressive from what I have seen so far, so very well done [to Arsenal] on that. It is crucial that everywhere can be like this."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: So well driving up to camp I felt my tires were low so I stopped at a gas station to fill them. I put in my quarters and it started and as I tried to fill my tire the hose began to leak like crazy running my pressure from sorta low to really low. I then cursed out the pump and drove away because they were a** holes. I went to a second station and had the attendant turn the machine on. I then tried to use it and it just didn't work not sure why and it also lowered my pressure. So now with the world against me and two really low tires I gave up on my trip up to camp and came home to use my pump. On the way home while I left the gas station I reved way to high and the truck didn't seem totally happy with me. Once I got home I reved lightly a couple times parked in the driveway just to see if any fluids might be leaking. I shut her down and come to find a small puddle of oil. GREAT!! JUST FRICKEN GREAT!!! As you can see my day has sucked now I'm stuck at home with a truck that's leaking oil like crazy, and because I really lost my temper and kinda flipped out I broke my glasses. BTW my parents left for the weekend so I have close to 0 cash and I still need to find where I'm leaking from. I'm not very happy and the amount of words I want to use but can't on here is insane. I've never been that pissed before. Kinda also punched a hole in the wall.... Gonna have to fix that too.

Shutdown to delay Oregon job nos., jobless rates
County figures also delayed; federal data needed
SALEM, Ore. - Due to the recent shutdown of the federal government, the monthly release of the Oregon statewide and local employment and unemployment numbers will be delayed, officials said Friday.
Oregon's statewide unemployment rate for September was scheduled to be released on Tuesday, October 15, while the local rates were scheduled to be released on Monday, October 21.
The Oregon Employment Department's Workforce and Economic Research Division works closely with the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics to produce the monthly unemployment rate and employment information.
With the recent shutdown of many agencies of the federal government, including BLS, vital data needed for calculating Oregon's job figures for September are unavailable, the state agency said.
"At this time we do not know when this data might become available," Friday's statement said. "We will be in close contact with BLS staff when they are able to return to their duties, and at that time will release a revised schedule for posting the statewide and local employment and unemployment rates."
In the meantime, Oregon's employment data through August is available on the agency's website, www.QualityInfo.org.

it has the same effect as myisamchk --recover
REPAIR TABLE works for
ARCHIVE, and
CSV tables. See
Section 15.2, "The MyISAM Storage Engine"

Make a backup of a table before performing a table repair operation; under some circumstances the operation might cause data loss. Possible causes include but are not limited to file system errors. See Chapter 7, Backup and Recovery.
If the server crashes during a

that you immediately execute another

worst case, you might have a new clean index file without
information about the data file, and then the next operation
you perform could overwrite the data file. This is an unlikely
but possible scenario that underscores the value of making a
backup first.

done with myisamchk.
Use the
USE_FRM option
only if you cannot use regular
REPAIR modes. Telling the server to ignore
.MYI file makes important table
metadata stored in the
.MYI unavailable
to the repair process, which can have deleterious
The current
AUTO_INCREMENTvalue is lost.
The link to deleted records in the table is lost, which means that free space for deleted records will remain unoccupied thereafter.
.MYIheader indicates whether the table is compressed. If the server ignores this information, it cannot tell that a table is compressed and repair can cause change or loss of table contents. This means that
USE_FRMshould not be used with compressed tables. That should not be necessary, anyway: Compressed tables are read only, so they should not become corrupt.
If you use
USE_FRM for a table that was
created by a different version of the MySQL server than the
one you are currently running,
TABLE will not attempt to repair the table. In this
case, the result set returned by
TABLE contains a line with a
Msg_type value of
and a
Msg_text value of
repairing incompatible .FRM file.
USE_FRM is not used,
REPAIR TABLE checks the table to
see whether an upgrade is required. If so, it performs the
upgrade, following the same rules as
UPGRADE. See Section 126.96.36.199, "CHECK TABLE Syntax", for more
REPAIR TABLE without
USE_FRM upgrades the
.frm file to the current version.
By default, the server writes
TABLE statements to the binary log so that they
replicate to replication slaves. To suppress logging, specify
the optional
NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG keyword or
its alias
In the event that a table on the master becomes corrupted and
you run
REPAIR TABLE on it, any
resulting changes to the original table are
not propagated to slaves.
You may be able to increase
TABLE performance by setting certain system variables.
See Section 8.6.3, "Optimizing REPAIR TABLE Statements".
REPAIR TABLE table catches and
throws any errors that occur while copying table statistics from
the old corrupted file to the newly created file. For example.
if the user ID of the owner of the
.MYD, or
.MYI file is
different from the user ID of the mysqld
REPAIR TABLE generates a
"cannot change ownership of the file" error unless
mysqld is started by the
root user.
the character sets dir configuration was missing and no tables repair was needed.
i had a strange issue.
i had upgraded mysql from public repository with apt-get
and after then had disk full error and had to restart.
after repairing the disk full error i have discovered the data selected from tables is gibberish.
in phpmyadmin the type of all tables was VIEW
and they all ware corrupt even if i repair them or optimize or check... and when i repair it with myisamchk it does nothing.
just shows :
myisamchk -eron emaillist, the errors:
- recovering (with sort) MyISAM-table 'emaillist'
Data records: 4255
- Fixing index 1
Found link that points at -1735598930481103523 (outside data file) at 27888
Found block that points outside data file at 268252
Found block that points outside data file at 268572
Found block that points outside data file at 268844
Found block that points outside data file at 268916
and nothing was changed after the repair.
in phpmyadmin when i click on a table it selected SHOW FULL COLUMNS and it showd an error similar to: the table is corrupt unknown COLLATIONS #16 error #1273
i have started to search, where are those collation numbers came from, and found that in mysql schema database there is a collations table
and my number 16 was missing
and i saw that the list is suspiciously small.
when i ran 'mysql --help' there was no charset directory
the solution was to set the in my.cnf
and it worked like a charm

Thierry Vintage Workshop is a great place to stay! It was clean, neat and very interesting decorated. No IKEA for Thierry.
In August, the most parkingspace is for free, so we were able to park the car in the street. Metrostation is around the corner.
Thierry was interested in us and in our stay, and we will certainly think of his place whenever we want to go to Paris again.
Sorry for this late review, but imidiately after Paris we went for two weeks to India, so we were very busy.
Thank you, Thierry and Wimdu for everything!
Hope to meet again,
Klaas and Anne Marie van de Belt, Holland
I just can summarize the apartment as awsome! I would love to have it as my own. Silent, despite the area which is alive even nighttimes, cool in the summer, cool design and interior, confortable in all ways, both equipment and beds, The owner a perfect host that showed us how all the technique was working. Love to come back.
I'm completely in love with this space! One of my deciding factors in booking an apartment in Paris was whether or not the place had been Ikea-d. 10 years ago, there were so many interesting apartments, now they all seem to look like an Ikea catalog shoot. Thierry's place is warm and inviting and easy to live in, and looks like it might have 100 years ago, but with modern amenitites. There were just two of us, so one used the bedroom and one used to sleeper sofa. Neither of us had any trouble sleeping. We enjoyed making full use of the kitchen, which wins hands down over any other space with a 2-burner hotplate. The neighborhood is diverse and interesting. The butcher around the corner is fantastic, and we liked both bakeries that are between the apartment and the metro stop; the open market on Tuesdays and Fridays is a lot of fun. Having a fully equipped apartment made our trip so easy. The only teeny problem we had was figuring out the dryer portion of the combo washer/dryer, but because the heat was on, it was easy enough to hang clothes to dry overnight. I also would have loved to peruse the book loft, but I understand that that is Thierry's personal space; I enjoyed just perusing the titles from below. I would happily recommend this space to anyone considering it (but heed his advice on the space not being suitable for anyone who has problems with stairs or is very overweight. I'm plus-size, and the spiral staircase to the bedroom wasn't a problem, but might have been for anyone larger than me. The apartment is also technically in the basement - one level below street level - so the first and last thing you're faced with every day is a steep, narrow set of stairs.) We never did meet Thierry, but he left us a bottle of wine, and contacted us by email a couple of times to make sure we weren't having any trouble and were enjoying our stay. Thanks Thierry!
Brilliant location (quiet apartment / no noise, but lively neighbourhood with lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops to explore),
great host (professional and kind, all smooth),
beautiful ambiance, according to my taste: Authentic Paris comfy industrial shabby chic - a great cure from boring hotel rooms!
Many thanks - i will come back?!
Thierry was a lovely host, very nice and always with a quick SMS response. The flat is great and all you need is inside. We felt very comfortable. Cleanliness is okay. The apartment is located 2 minutes from the "Oberkampf" - so the middle of a nightlife district. The flat is in a courtyard and so it is very quiet. For the city center you have to change métro at least once, and in winter the apartment is a little bit dark. But otherwise: super! Thanks!
Sehr schöne und individuell eingerichtete Wohnung!
Tolle Küche! Eigentlich ruhig, da im Hinterhaus, jedoch wird am Wochenende in der Straße viel gefeiert und es war dann auch hörbar.
Trotzdem zu empfehlen!
Alles hat wunderbar geklappt und das Studio und die Lage waren super. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Miller, a 2nd year surging Wang, possibly Cesario, an improved Gao, Hicks, and Keiser, all of whom skate with much more speed and excitement than Caroline. To try to imagine a scenario where she deservedly finishes 2nd at Nationals, kind of means a nightmare competition all around- sorry but she is just way too slow. There's also Lam, Cain, and Siraj to consider (not for 2nd place, but IMO they are as good as Zhang).

Fugitive shot by OSP trooper NE of Madras improving
Was wanted out of Montana on probation violation
MADAS, Ore. - An armed Montana fugitive who was shot and critically wounded Friday in a confrontation with an Oregon State Police trooper in the woods northeast of Madras has been identified and has improved to serious condition at a Bend hospital, authorities said Monday.
No local charges have been filed yet against Zande Joshua Barnacascel, 56, who was wanted for violating probation on a burglary conviction, Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins said late Sunday night. He was listed as a registered sex offender, with police warnings of violent tendencies and an escape risk, he added.
Barnacascel, also known as Joshua Samuel Waddington, is a convicted felon and registered sex offender with no known permanent address, said OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings. He had an outstanding Montana warrant for probation violation on a felony burglary conviction.
OSP and county Search and Rescue volunteers searched a wooded area northeast of Madras for evidence Saturday, one day after the encounter that ended an intensive manhunt.
The fugitive was "shot at least one time" during an encounter with OSP Sgt. Mike Turner, Hastings said Saturday. He was flown by a Life Flight helicopter to St. Charles-Bend, where Hastings said he was in critical condition Saturday after undergoing surgery but had improved to serious condition by Monday.
Around 2:15 p.m. Friday, Jefferson County sheriff's deputies, assisted by troopers, responded to a reported burglary after a man was seen inside a residence on Fern Lane, west of Highway 97, Hastings said.
A trooper spotted an associated SUV after it left and its driver refused to stop. After about five minutes, the trooper decided to terminate the chase and lost sight of the vehicle on farm property.
The manhunt expanded to include Madras police and a Warm Springs police tracking dog team, said Sheriff Jim Adkins, who also called in a Search and Rescue single-engine plane to help in the search after the man stopped the SUV and ran into the brush.
A Madras officer spotted Barnacascel in the area east of Highway 97, near Darrer Road and Dogwood Lane, about three miles northeast of Madras, Hastings and Adkins said.
Turner, who was unhurt, has been placed on paid administrative leave, as is standard protocol in officer-involved shooting investigations, Hastings said, adding that the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office will review the reports on the incident.
Turner, 35, joined OSP in 1999 and is currently assigned to the Patrol Services Division at the Bend Area Command office, Hastings added.
"It was a long pursuit," the sheriff said., adding that a Madras police officer patrolling the search perimeter spotted the suspect crossing over a hill and the dog got on the track.
