New method could make IVF more effective: study
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Researchers using a microscope and time-lapse photography believe they have developed a method for predicting which test-tube embryos are the most likely to develop properly, and are licensing development of a commercial test.
Their findings, published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, also provide some new insights into the development of days-old embryos, such as how babies inherit some genes from the mother and some from the father.
They said the new test could help fertility clinics pick the best embryo to implant in the womb.
This would save mothers from having several treatments and help improve on the current method of implanting multiple embryos to try to get one pregnancy and risk multiple births in the process.
"Our results shed light on human embryo development," wrote Renee Reijo Pera of Stanford University in California and colleagues. "Our methods and algorithms may provide an approach for early diagnosis of embryo potential in assisted reproduction."
So called test-tube babies are conceived by uniting egg and sperm in a lab dish and transferring the embryo into a woman's uterus to develop. Most do not develop properly and labs have been looking for ways to improve their success rate.
Although it is not recommended, some IVF clinics will implant more than one embryo into the mother's womb -- leading to the birth of triplets, quadruplets and even more. Such babies almost always are born too early and face lifelong health problems.
All pregnancies are tenuous, even those achieved the old fashioned way. The March of Dimes, a charity founded to battle birth defects, estimates that as many as 50 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage -- most often before a woman knows she is pregnant.
For the new test the researchers watched embryos divide and develop from the time sperm met egg in a lab dish. As the embryos split and grew, they also tested gene expression -- looking at which genes activated, and when. Continued...

Martin Scorsese: Gearing Up for Bill Clinton Documentary
He's known the world over for his sublime filmmaking and Martin Scorsese's latest venture is a documentary about former President Bill Clinton for the HBO network.
The "Wolf of Wall Street" mastermind explained, "A towering figure who remains a major voice in world issues, President Clinton continues to shape the political dialogue both here and around the world."
Martin also noted that Clinton will be fully cooperating in the entire process. "Through intimate conversations, I hope to provide greater insight into this transcendent figure."
Meanwhile, the former Commander-in-Chief added, "I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have agreed to do this film. I look forward to sharing my perspective on my years as President, and my work in the years since, with HBO's audience."

About Clare ValleyView a map of Clare Valley wineries
Known for its Rieslings, the wines of Clare Valley are distinctive. The Riesling here is dry, dry, dry. Delicate yet firm, these wines won't remind you of Germany or Alsace - they have a character all their own. The lime and mineral flavors, paired with zesty acidity, make the wine perfect for summer sipping or pairing with seafood.
Notable FactsSince this is still Australia, let's not leave out Shiraz... Clare Valley does produce red wines and they are well made and tasty. Despite the fairly warm temperatures, the acidity in Clare Valley red wines are typically higher than wines produced further south. Good structure is a key characteristic, making Clare Valley wines ideal for pairing with food.
About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

I think I messed up.... real bad
ok I was changing my EGR valve this morning and I just finished but now the jeep wont start. I disconnected the negative battery terminal before I did the EGR and I followed the how to thread on here and I thought everything went well. I reconnected the negative wire and the cheap wont start. The dash lights come on and the check engine light is on as well. The check engine light is solid for about 5 seconds then it flashes at me for probably 10 seconds. Does this mean its in limp mode? Its a 2005 with the 5.7. Please help
Re: I think I messed up.... real bad
sorry cheap was suppose to be jeep
Re: I think I messed up.... real bad
why do you think its in limp mode??didnt you say it doesnt start at all. is it cranking at all?
Re: I think I messed up.... real bad
Well i feel stupid now because everything worked out fine. I guess the battery just wasn't charged enough because I tried to jump start it but it wouldn't start so I just let it sit for about 10 minutes and when I tried starting it, it started right up. I just took it out for a drive and everything seems to be just fine. Sorry to waste a thread and thanks for the reply tom58
Re: I think I messed up.... real bad
no worries glad everything is fine

You might think that kitchen left-overs are good for nothing but the bin but kids in London are learning how to turn them into compost.
Compost is a way of making old fruit and veg into soil which helps plants grow really healthy.

Green campaigners say turning fruit and veg peelings into compost is much better for the environment.

Cliff, you wrote: "This means it can also use a non-rechargeable CRV3, or two AA batteries, which could come in handy if you forget to take your battery charger on holiday."
It is partially true, as all Kodak cameras that accept AA cells work ONLY on lithium batteries. They CANNOT be powered by AA alkaline batteries or Ni-MH rechargeables You can either use expensive lithium CRV3 batteries; KODAK Li-Ion Rechargeable KLIC-8000 (you will have to buy a charger for it) or AA lithium batteries, which are more expensive than alkalines. That is very limiting.
Or you can make yourself a battery if you are into DIY:
Somebody is blind and I'm sure it aint me! Looking at the recent 10star review of the Pana FZ28 I see washed out colours, dull green on the sports car and iffy red on the jag! Looking at the cathedral pic I see no colur whatsoever in stained glass windows, the kodak however has atleast pulled some colour from somewhere, overall the Kodak seems a million miles ahead of the Pana, including noise/colour/lightness etc, go look again, I dont own either!
S_p_i_d_e_r , hate to disagree , But I`ve had 2 different Kodak Z`s , and plain ol` AA`s , Alkaline and Nimh will all work . They just don`t last as long as Kodaks expensive Klic 8000 rechargeable Lithiums . The CRV 3 Lithium (non-rechargeable) only costs about $10.00...and lasts longer than any other I`ve tried . Saying nothing will work but the Lithium seems to be Kodaks way of self promoting their battery line .

Masa is the Spanish word for dough and masa harina literally translates to "dough flour." It could easily be considered the primary food in Mexican and Central American cuisine since it is used in preparing the dough for tortillas and tamales—part of the daily diet of Mexicans and Central Americans, and some South Americans too.

It's planning season at the Co-op, which means that we take stock of what has been happening in our industry, in our regional co-ops, and in our own store in order to make some plans for what's next. Typically, managers gather in a long planning retreat-type meeting and review some of the data that we have compiled, and discuss how that information may impact some of the individual department plans that we have in mind, as well as whole-store ideas. At each department meeting, these ideas are discussed and modified, tweaked and made more precise, in preparation for the budget that we put together in what we call the Annual Business Plan.

Do we, as a co-op, feel that people, the people in this community and in surrounding communities, have reasonable access to participation in the Co-op? Probably. The doors are open fourteen hours a day, six days a week (and 12 hours on Sunday). There are staff members available to answer questions. If you can get in the door, you can participate.

One of the many delights that comes with taking our monthly trip to interview the Producer of the Month is traveling with a member of the Co-op department we are highlighting. I was lucky enough to travel with John, your cheese department manager, to Enosburg Falls, Vermont to interview members of the Gervais (Jar-ves) family that owns Boston Post Dairy. We passed the time on our drive with conversations about cheese (of course); John shared stories about the past Co-op cheese manager, Henry, and filled me in on the local Brattleboro music scene. John also talked about his love for Boston Post Dairy and how four sisters and their parents own the farm, store and cheese making operation. We were both very excited to learn first hand how their cheeses are made, peruse their farm store and meet the goats.

How to Replace the Heating Element Assembly on a Tumble Dryer - Bosch Published 23/09/2010
If your tumble dryer isn't heating up, the most common cause is a damaged or broken element. In this video Rory replaces the heating element assembly on a Bosch condenser tumble dryer. The heating assembly includes the element, thermostat and wiring.
View All Tumble Dryer Heaters Now »Video Transcript:
Hi, I'm Rory from eSpares.
If your tumble dryer isn't heating up, the most common cause is a damaged or broken element, we recommend that when replacing your element, you also replace your thermostats too.
In some models, like this Bosch condenser tumble dryer, you won't be able to replace the element without replacing the thermostats because they come pre-assembled in this part which is known as the heater element assembly, which includes the element here, as well as the thermostats and this wiring. This makes it easier to replace, and that's what I'm going to show you to replace in this video.
Safety first, always make sure that your tumble dryer is switched off before you get to work and I'm just going to start by removing the back panel. There's loads of screws keeping the back panel in place and you'll need a torx head screwdriver to remove them.
Ok, we can now see our old assembly, and what I need to do is remove these two screws here and this one holding the connector in place. Ok, when taking this connector off, you need to make sure that these two wires don't get lost because if they fall back into the dryer, you'll have to take off the side panel to get them back.
Now I can pull the old assembly away and clip the new one into place, I can now reconnect my wires and put the connector back in, there we go, we can now screw that up. That's the new element assembly in place and I just need to put the back panel back on and screw it back into place.

ASK MR. KNOW IT ALL: Brunswick stew causes boarder war
Question: What is Brunswick Stew? How it is made? Why the name? — F.D.L., Dover, Del.
Answer: According to Brunswick County, Va., historians, "Uncle Jimmy" Matthews created the stew in 1828 while on a hunting trip.
He used a mixture of butter, onions, stale bread and seasoning, along with squirrel meat.
The stew was an instant hit. Brunswick stew is now most commonly made with chicken, or a combination of several meats, which might include rabbit, beef and pork. Onions, corn and tomatoes are usually included, and many recipes call for lima beans, peas and okra.
"Virginia ambrosia" is popular for church functions, local fundraisers or wherever large groups of people are gathering and eating.
Brunswick, Ga., also lays claim to the stew recipe. There are often Brunswick stew cook-offs, called "stew wars," between the two states.
Question: What was the address in Amsterdam where Anne Frank and her family went into hiding to avoid the Nazis?
When was she born? — K.I.T., Newburgh, N.Y.
Answer: Annelies "Anne" Marie Frank was a Jewish girl born June 12, 1929.
On July 6, 1942, she and her family went into hiding in the annex at No. 263 Prinsengracht in Amsterdam.
At approximately 10 a.m. on Aug. 4, 1944, Frank and her family were discovered and taken to concentration camps.
About a month before the camps were liberated, Frank died, possibly of typhus. The house is now a museum dedicated to Anne Frank and her family.
Question: Does former talk-show host Oprah Winfrey have a middle name? Where was she born? — G.L., Mesa, Ariz.
Answer: She does have a middle name — Gail. She was born Jan. 29, 1954, in Kosciusko, Miss.
Question: Is there a word that describes the star that is created when light strikes a stone such as sapphire? — G.T., Springfield, Ohio
Answer: There is; it's asterism. Asterism comes from the Greek word for star, aster.
Question: Why are covered bridges covered? — U.L., Birdsboro, Pa.
Answer: There are many explanations, mostly romantic. Personally, I think our ancestors were far too practical to spend additional resources of money and time on non-practical construction.
There are two simple explanations, though.
One explanation is merely that a cover keeps the trusses dry.
Bridge engineers have told me that keeping bridge trusses out of harsh weather will extend their usefulness for three times as many years.
Another explanation is that a covered bridge is much stronger than one that is not covered.
According to one reference, the first covered bridges were built more than 2,000 years ago in China, and maybe even earlier, in ancient Babylon (780 B.C.). Theodore Burr constructed the first covered bridge built in America in 1804.
This bridge spanned the Hudson River in New York and was called the Waterford Bridge; it lasted for 105 years.
Question: Which American League baseball team was handed the first shutout in the league's history? — A.S., Salisbury, Md.
Answer: American League teams began playing during April 1901. On May 15, the Washington Senators beat the Boston Americans (later the Red Sox) 4 to 0, the first shutout in American League history.
Question: I don't travel like I used to, but I have fond memories of the DC-3 from the 1940s. What does the DC stand for? — E.D., Orangeburg, S.C.
Answer: The DC stands for "Douglas Commercial." American Airlines became the first airline to use the DC-3 when it was put into service in 1936. Many pilots consider the DC-3 the greatest plane ever built.
Question: What was Michelangelo's full name? — D.K.M., Salt Lake City
Answer: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born in a small village in Caprese, Italy, on March 6, 1475. He was an influential sculptor, painter, architect and poet. He died Feb. 18, 1564, in Rome.

What does it mean to be like crystal? Perhaps multifaceted; clear; cherished but not precious. In the case of Kitty Grace's spring 2012 collection the title She's Like Crystal is likely a more literal meaning tied to the kaleidoscope of crystal prints. But while I may be reading faces into the proverbial clouds here, you can still apply those definitions to the unfussy and versatile beauty of the collection's pieces.
And if there's one thing that ensures there's never a dull moment it's the visually delectable colour palette. Cobalt, sapphire, coral and emerald hit the perfect jewel tones, grounded by softer peach, taupe, and terracotta. Everything here speaks to the sun and demands confidence – if not a lean, toned body – to make it shine its brightest.
Kitty Grace's swimwear pieces are equally worthy of attention as the sculptured and draped minidresses: they're the kind that cling and then cut away, sometimes made eyecatching by way of off-shoulder cuts, sometimes with strappy details or digital prints. And despite the slick, body-conscious cuts of the bikinis there's always the compensation offered up by high-waisted bottoms.
A strong collection from the Perth-based designer, you can view more from Kitty Grace's spring 2012 collection – in store in September – at the gallery above.

big thanks to Cory Sterling.
for the first year of a 2 day show Cory, you nailed it man. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to get my business name out there. This takes a lot of work/thought into getting something like this put together let alone for 2 days, not sure if it was said or not, the man plans this on his birthday. Saturday was extremely laid back, not a lot of foot traffic but i think everyone planned for that. This show has a lot of potential for being another weekend VAG event. The vendor area was a little hectic as far as setup went but where else are you going to get a vendor booth for $250 for a 2 days, and see the foot traffic we did on sunday.
Before the bitching about judging, not being judged, not being judged fairly, something unorganized, food, bands, auction something not going you're way.....save it, and take a second to think about how much time has to go into things like this.
Thanks again Cory, and hope you enjoyed you're birthday, you old ****.

It would appear, on the surface, to be highly insensitive for a new campaign to be started to allow standing to return to Premier League grounds so soon after the truth has come out about the Hillsborough disaster.
Yet that is exactly what the Football Supporters' Federation are attempting to do with the support of Birmingham MP Roger Godsiff.
Godsiff has submitted an early day motion to Parliament that "urges the Government to accept the case for introducing, on a trial basis, limited standing areas".
Significantly, unlike in other previous attempts to have standing return to grounds in the top two tiers of English football, this new attempt has been publicly backed by Aston Villa and Peterborough United who have both confirmed that they would be willing to participate in trials.
The arguments put forward by the FSF for change are persuasive.
Technology, they say, with the use of rail seating means it is now safe to stand — the evidence for this is the success of safe standing in Germany's Bundesliga; the Government, the police and a significant number of clubs, they claim, want it; a survey for the FSF showed that nine out of 10 fans want it and, despite the fact that current regulations forbid it, supporters are standing anyway. Finally, the example showed by Olympics, according to the FSF, demonstrates how wonderful an atmosphere can be inside a stadium when supporters are not 'managed and controlled'.
It is difficult not to agree that, in pure safety terms, modern technology would appear to allow a return to standing areas. The rail seat being proposed which is currently used at Innsbruck's Tivoli stadium in Austria offers each spectator an individual barrier to stand against with a seat folded away.
Prime Minister David Cameron promised he would look at the situation before winning the last election and the police and clubs are constantly doing battle with supporters who refuse to sit down.
Maybe this is the biggest argument in favour of change.
Standing in seated areas, especially away ends, has become so acute at Manchester United that they have had their away allocation cut by Manchester City, Liverpool, Sunderland and Bolton in the past two seasons. But it would be wrong to single out United supporters because they are not alone.
After half an hour of yesterday's Merseyside derby the PA announcer at Goodison Park urged everyone to take their seats.
Plans to introduce a singing section at Old Trafford to help improve the noise levels — another perceived problem area since the Taylor Report introduced all-seater stadia in the top two divisions more than 20 years ago — were actually shelved in July because it was deemed unsafe to re-house away supporters in the steep upper tier of the Sir Alex Ferguson stand where any possible performance of the Poznan by City fans (remember they did it six times last season) would lead to swaying and panic for those in the seats below.
So the solution would seem obvious and all the evidence provided by the FSF points to bringing back safe standing areas. And yet the Premier League remains firmly against it and so do I.
Primarily because I doubt that safe standing areas would really end the problem of fans refusing to sit down and spoiling the enjoyment of matches for others. For this to happen there needs to be a change in attitudes not a change in structures. Some attending matches this weekend — and they may only be a minority — believe that buying a ticket enables them to do what they like: stand, swear, and chant obscenities, it's their right.
It would be nice to think that all these morons could be contained in one standing area ... out in the car park.
As the FSF point out, the atmosphere inside the Olympic Stadium was special but by and large, those inside were all supporting the same team.
Perhaps the strongest argument against a return to standing remains a moral one.
The FSF rightly point out that the Hillsborough Independent Panel laid a number of reasons for the disaster in which 96 Liverpool supporters were killed and standing was not one of them.
I accept that the idea is not for a return to open terraces like the Holte End at Villa Park where I stood swaying as a 14-year-old during the FA Cup semi-final between Plymouth and Watford in 1984.
But we have moved on. We don't need standing to create atmospheres in grounds, just decent football like yesterday's at Goodison and Stamford Bridge.
I'll leave the last word with Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group who lost her teenage son James in 1989, who said: "We definitely don't want any form of standing whatsoever at football grounds."
That should end the debate.

Influence of nuclear background on transcription of a maize mitochondrial region associated with Texas male sterile cytoplasm

Transcripts of the maize mitochondrial genes atp6, urf13-T and ORF25 were examined by Northern analysis from five normal (N), Texas male sterile (T), and T male sterile cytoplasm lines restored to fertility. A 5 kb DNA region containing the atp6 promoter is duplicated 5′ to urf13-T and ORF25 in T cytoplasm. DNA sequence differences in the 5 kb repeat detected between N and T cytoplasms may be related to atp6 transcriptional differences between the two cytoplasms. Nuclear restorer genes directed an RNA processing event that apparently decreased the abundance of mature urf13-T transcripts, which may correlate with the observed reduction of the 13 kDa gene product in restored lines. Fertility restoration had no effect on the transcription of atp6. Nuclear background, distinct from fertility restoration, also affected the abundance of urf13-T transcripts and directed the synthesis of an ORF25-specific transcript.

Tipuana tipu (Tipu Tree) - A moderately fast growing semi-deciduous tree with a flat crown that grows slightly wider than the tree grows high, which is typically 30 to 40 feet but large older specimens have been noted in California that are 50 to 70 feet tall and 100 feet wide, looking a bit like the large Monkey Pod trees (Samanea saman) one might see in Hawaii or Florida. The opposite 10 inch long compound pinnate leaves are divided into many rounded leaflets, which are only briefly deciduous in late winter into early spring. The golden yellow flowers are abundant in late spring to early summer and will carpet the ground beneath the tree when they drop. The fruit that follows is an interesting single seeded winged samara that looks like the unrelated fruit of a maple tree. Plant in full sun and give occasional deep watering � fairly drought tolerant once established and over watering produces weaker wood. Hardy to around 22 degrees F. Give this big attractive tree ample room because it will get big in a relatively short time and prune early to give good structure. This tree comes from Southern Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina and it has been planted extensively in Southern Europe, Algeria and Southern California where it has been praised for its beauty and the rapid-growth that provides quick shade but its large size, relatively weak wood and invasive roots that can lift paving, limits its use as a street tree or in gardens too small to accommodate it. A recent insect pest found on this tree in Southern California, called the Tipu Psyllid (
Platycorypha nigrivirga
), has also caused problems with leaf curling, premature leaf drop and honeydew and black sooty mold on leaves and stems and drops on objects below. The name for this monotypic genus (having only one species) and species name both come from a South American name for the tree. Other common names include Rosewood, Yellow Jacaranda and Pride of Bolivia . This description is based on research and observations of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in our nursery garden and in other gardens that we visit. We also incorporate comments received and appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have any additional information about this plant, particularly if they disagree with what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Tipuana tipu.

STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: Blackhawks look to finish off Kings, win West
CHICAGO — When the Chicago Blackhawks were in deep trouble in the second round of the playoffs, they used desperation to their advantage and pulled off a big comeback in an already impressive season.
After the Blackhawks lost top defenseman Duncan Keith to a suspension before Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, Chicago didn't let the Los Angeles Kings get even, despite their dominant home record.
Now that the top-seeded Blackhawks are just one win away from reaching the Stanley Cup finals, they want to play with the same sense of urgency when they hit the ice at home for Game 5 tonight.
"I think we can just go into (today's) game with the mindset that we're down 3-1," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said Friday. "It's up to you to motivate yourself and try and put yourself in that position that you feel like you're in a seventh game."
Toews and company returned to Chicago on Friday after snapping Los Angeles' 15-game home winning streak with a 3-2 victory on Thursday night that gave them a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
The Blackhawks got it done without Keith, who was as excited as many of his teammates had ever seen him when they came into the locker room after the victory.
The Kings need three straight victories against the NHL's top-seeded team to prolong their title defense, but they won't have to look very far for inspiration.
Chicago dropped three of the first four games in the second round against Detroit, then returned home and beat the Red Wings 4-1 in Game 5. The momentum moved over to the Blackhawks, who earned two more victories to advance.
That is one big reason why the Blackhawks are hoping to finish off the Kings in Game 5 and avoid another trip to Los Angeles, where the Kings are 8-1 during this year's playoffs and 14-4 over the past two postseasons.
"We were on the other end of this, so we kind of know what they're thinking," Chicago defenseman Johnny Oduya said. "We know this is not over. This is a really, really good team and we know we don't want to go back to L.A. That's a tough place to play."
The Kings jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Thursday night and led 2-1 late in the second period, but were unable to hold on. They managed just two shots in the third as the NHL's longest postseason home winning streak since 2009 ended.
"I couldn't tell you what caused that," Kings captain Dustin Brown said, referring to the lack of quality opportunities in the third. "We have to get more pucks to the net, more bodies to the net. That's not just the third, it's the whole series. The Hawks have done a good job in limiting our rush chances."
This is the 12th time the Kings have opened a playoff series with three losses in four games. The only time they were able to advance was in 1989 against Edmonton. Only 25 NHL teams have accomplished the feat.
But Los Angeles already has a six-game winning streak this postseason, a run that ended with a 2-1 loss at San Jose in Game 3 in the previous round. The Kings feel good in knowing they have 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick, who made 25 saves on Thursday and is capable of turning around a series.
"One thing about this group of guys is we tend to play our best hockey when we're really in trouble," Brown said. "You look at last year in the regular season, I think we were in 13th place with 20 games to go. It's a different situation when you've just got one game to play, but you can draw on being in the trench hole together."
Keith is slated to return to the Blackhawks lineup after serving his one-game suspension for high-sticking Jeff Carter in the face during the second period of Game 3. Keith, the 2010 Norris Trophy winner as the league's top defenseman, is a key part of Chicago's lineup, but his absence was a source of inspiration for his teammates.
"It makes the rest of us that are still playing want to show we can still do a great job," said fellow defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, who had two assists Thursday. "I think we did that."

Atlantic Flyway
Ducks, Mergansers, and Coots
Outside Dates: Between the Saturday
nearest September 24 (September 22)
and the last Sunday in January (January
The latest any State in the AF could hunt this year was January 26th,
barngeatbayman wrote:I just so happens that most states end there season on Jan 26th this year, that is understandable since it's a Saturday that is NOT the drop dead date.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced proposed hunting season lengths and bag limits for the upcoming 2012-13 late waterfowl seasons. The proposed federal frameworks include duck hunting season lengths of 60 days in both the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways, 74 days in the Central Flyway (with an additional 23 days in the High Plains areas), and 107 days in the Pacific Flyway. The proposed frameworks also include a full season on pintails with a two bird daily bag limit nationwide, and a full season on canvasbacks with a one bird daily bag limit nationwide. The proposed late season waterfowl frameworks will appear in a mid-August edition of the Federal Register for public comment.
States select their individual seasons from within the federal frameworks that establish the earliest beginning and latest ending dates and the maximum season length and bag limits. Flyway-specific highlights of the proposed late-season frameworks are as follows:
Atlantic Flyway (Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia):
•Ducks: A hunting season is proposed of not more than 60 days between September 22, 2012, and January 27, 2013. The proposed daily bag limit is 6 and may include no more than 4 mallards (2 hens), 4 scoters, 3 wood ducks, 2 redheads, 2 hooded mergansers, 4 scaup, 1 black duck, 2 pintails, 1 canvasback, 1 mottled duck, and 1 fulvous whistling duck.
•Geese: For light geese, states will be able to select a 107-day season between October 1, 2012, and March 10, 2013, with a daily bag limit of 25 birds and no possession limit. Seasons for Canada geese would vary in length among states and areas depending on the populations of birds that occur in those areas. The daily bag limit will be 5 birds in hunt zones established for resident populations of Canada geese. In hunt zones established for migratory populations, bag limits will be 5 or fewer and vary among states and areas. For Atlantic brant, the season length may be 50 days with a daily bag limit of 2.

Well, ok... maybe the title is a bit of a stretch but the truth of the matter is that State of Decay is a great game if you love anything that has to do with zombies. IGN gave the game a great score and even named it one of the top (enter some number here) games to play on the Xbox 360. To make things even better, they added a kind of horde mode to the game in the expansion called Breakdown. You should really do yourself a favor and check out my reviews of both the game and the expansion!

|EC2, XFS, and ec2-consistent-snapshot with Cassandra
|Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:14:44 GMT
On EC2, it is common and recommended ( http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=100&externalID=1663) to use XFS's freeze/thaw functionality to create near-online snapshots of an EBS volume for MySQL snapshots. "Besides being a stable, modern, high performance, journaling file system, XFS supports file system freeze/thaw which is extremely useful for ensuring a consistent state during EBS snapshots." I've implemented this with MySQL before, and it worked extremely well (miles beyond mysqldump or mysqlhotcopy). On a given node, you sacrifice a short period of availability (less than 0.5 seconds) to get a full, consistent snapshot of your EBS volume that can be sent off to S3 in the background, after the filesystem has unlocked and disk activity has resumed. Has anybody tried implementing this with a Cassandra cluster? What are the issues you ran into? How did it compare with using Cassandra's "nodetool snapshot"? I think I could do this on a running node with a 0.5 second timeout. The XFS docs state "Any process attempting to write to the frozen filesystem will block waiting for the filesystem to be unfrozen." Having writes block on a node for <0.5s sounds like something the Cassandra would handle fine. The Cassandra docs state "You can get an eventually consistent backup by flushing all nodes and snapshotting; no individual node's backup is guaranteed to be consistent but if you restore from that snapshot then clients will get eventually consistent behavior as usual." This lead me to believe that as long as I have snapshot each node in the cluster within a reasonable window (say 2 hours), I'd be able to bring the entire cluster back with a guarantee that it is consistent up to the point where the snapshot window began. I realize one of Cassandra's design goals is redundancy and high availability. I'm not worried about our entire infrastructure collapsing and having to restore backups because of massive node failure. I want to backup so that a bad logic bug in our app (ie messing up the timestamps) or Cassandra itself deletes or corrupts data in our Cassandra cluster. -Ben

text: A justice for the state's highest court will have the final say on whether to suspend a prosecutor from Hancock County – and, if so, for how long. The Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar recommended Assistant District Attorney Mary Kellett be suspended for violating seven rules of the bar. Kellett appeared before the board in October in connection with a case she prosecuted in 2009. Vladek Filler was convicted of sexually assaulting his wife, but was cleared two years later by a judge who ruled evidence was left out of the trial and Kellett made improper statements to the jury.Filler said he never received evidence he requested from the state.The board decided, among other things, Kellett engaged in conduct unworthy of an attorney, failed to timely disclose evidence, and suppressed evidence.One member of the Maine Supreme Court will hold a hearing on Kellett's conduct and decide if she should be suspended.A date for that hearing has not been set yet. We tried to contact Kellett and Carletta Bassano, the Hancock County District Attorney, for a comment but have not heard back.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has issued a Travel Health Notice for the Global Update: Zika virus infection recommending that Canadians practice special health precautions while travelling in affected countries. Pregnant women and those considering becoming pregnant should avoid travel to Peru. See Health for more information.
Safety and security
Safety and security
Terrorism (see Advisory)
Incidents of terrorism and violence are largely restricted to the remote jungle areas of Peru; however, recent incidents, including grenade attacks, have occurred within Lima.
The security risks remain high in the jungle area where the Apurímac, Ayacucho, Cusco and Junín departments meet, and in the Upper Huallaga river valley in Huánaco and San Martín departments, because of the presence of the Shining Path guerrilla group. Over the last few years, incidents have included robberies, kidnappings, extortion, raids and temporary takeovers of small villages and, although rare, bombings or threats of violence against local security forces or community figures. Overland travel in these regions is unsafe.
Cocaine production and trafficking occurs in Central Peru, including the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro river valley (VRAEM). Travel is dangerous in areas where there is coca cultivation and processing.
Crime is a problem throughout the country. Carjackings, assaults and armed robberies are frequent throughout the country. Maintain a high level of vigilance and personal security awareness at all times, especially at night. Travel in groups whenever possible throughout the country.
Vehicles are regularly attacked and robbed along the route from the airport in Lima. Tourists are often targeted by criminals posing as taxi drivers along this route. When arriving at Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport, use a secure taxi service to go into the city, and exercise particular caution en route to your hotel. Further information on registered taxi companies is available on the Lima Airport Partners website.
Remain vigilant due to the threat of express kidnappings, in which victims are usually abducted for a few hours and forced to withdraw money from automated banking machines (ABMs). Most express kidnappings take place at night, but incidents also occur during daylight hours. Express kidnappings often involve criminals posing as taxi drivers, or taxi drivers working for organized gangs. Kidnappers tend to select victims according to outward signs of affluence, such as their clothing, vehicle or place of work. Do not accept transportation or guide services offered by individuals seeking clients on the streets. Book a registered taxi from a reputable company. Resisting a robbery can lead to further violence.
Petty crime is prevalent in Lima and other cities. Purse snatching, pickpocketing, theft from vehicles and break-ins occur, even during daylight hours and in crowded public areas. Theft also occurs frequently in hotels and restaurants, and while hailing taxis. Avoid walking in deserted or under-populated areas. Do not carry large amounts of cash, do not display signs of affluence such as jewelry, and leave unnecessary credit cards at home. Keep your valuables and identification on your person (in your pocket or in a pouch under clothing, for example).
While travelling by car, keep your doors locked and windows shut at all times. Keep your personal belongings in the trunk of the vehicle, as criminals have been known to shatter windows to "smash and grab" and to attempt entry when they see travel bags or merchandise. Criminals have also been known to throw objects in front of oncoming traffic in the hope that cars will stop. If this occurs and you need to stop, do so only in a safe location, such as a gas station.
Theft on intercity buses and microbuses and at bus terminals is also very common. Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times. Never leave personal belongings unattended. Avoid travelling after dark, when armed gangs have been known to stop buses to rob travellers. Recent incidents of assaults on buses have been reported.
Drink spiking is common. Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as the items may contain drugs that could put you at risk.
If you are stopped by police or security forces, ask to see official identification and record the officer's name, badge number and district. Thieves have been known to pose as police officers in order to gain the confidence and cooperation of their potential victims.
Avoid moneychangers on the street, as they may carry counterfeit currency or work with pickpockets.
Credit card skimming is also a concern. You should keep your credit cards within sight while making transactions.
Thefts on boats by river pirates have been reported along rivers in the Amazon jungle. Contact your tour operator to enquire about security procedures and arrangements in place.
Women's safety
Incidents of sexual assault including rape have been reported throughout the country, even when travelling in groups. Women should not travel alone, especially after dark. Remain particularly vigilant at bus terminals and in taxis. See Her own way - a woman's safe-travel guide for travel safety information specifically for Canadian women.
Demonstrations and civil unrest
Demonstrations and protests are common throughout the country. Strikes and roadblocks are frequent and may cause the interruption of services, including public transit, and the closure of businesses and government offices. Impromptu road blocks may also affect travel within the southern region of Peru, especially travel to and from the cities of Arequipa, Cusco and Puno. Protests in the area of Puno can sometimes result in the closure of the border crossing with Bolivia.
In November and December of 2015, large-scale protests and strikes caused transportation disruptions throughout Madre de Dios, causing flight delays and cancellations and the closing of borders between the Cusco and Madre de Dios provinces and the border with Brazil. Food and water shortages were reported and many tour companies cancelled tours within the area. In September 2015, protestors in the Manu region of Madre de Dios blocked rivers essential for transportation and caused the temporary detainment of tourists.
Avoid large crowds, political gatherings and marches as they can turn violent without notice and may lead to injuries and death. Participating in demonstrations may lead to detention or even deportation by Peruvian authorities. Monitor local media reports for up-to-date information and follow the advice of local authorities. Confirm your travel plans with your travel agency or tour operator, and ensure they have made appropriate security arrangements. Contact iPeru by phone or email for the latest developments.
Road safety
Poor road conditions, aggressive driving practices and a lack of traffic signs are common in rural areas. Mountainous roads can be particularly dangerous, especially at night. When renting a vehicle, always purchase insurance. Avoid travelling by road outside of major cities after dark, when there is a higher risk of robbery. Police spot checks are common and can cause delays.
Public transportation
Intercity bus travel can be dangerous due to the risk of bus accidents, which are usually caused by excessive speed, poor vehicle maintenance and driver fatigue. Only use reputable transportation companies. Contact your travel agency for a list of recommended intercity bus companies. The Peruvian Ministry of Transportation publishes, in Spanish only, a list of those bus companies with the highest rates of involvement in fatal or serious injury traffic accidents.
Do not hail taxis on the street. Reserve a taxi by calling a reputable taxi company or use taxi services associated with major hotels. Licensed taxis are not metered, so agree to a fare prior to departure and do not pay until you have reached your destination. Having the exact fare is recommended, as taxi drivers sometimes fail to provide change or will continue to drive until they can obtain change.
Air travel
The Government of Canada does not assess foreign domestic airlines' compliance with international aviation safety standards. See Foreign domestic airlines for more information.
There have been a number of incidents involving small aircraft in the area of the Nazca Lines, some resulting in fatal accidents. Ensure that your airline has a good record and appropriate safety measures in place.
Adventure travel
Before partaking in an adventure travel activity, ensure your travel health insurance includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation in the case of serious illness or injury.
Treks and hiking excursions should be undertaken in groups, with experienced tour guides only.
If you intend to trek:
a) never trek alone;
b) always hire an experienced guide and ensure that the trekking company is reputable;
c) ensure that you are in top physical condition;
d) advise a family member or friend of your itinerary;
e) register when entering national parks;

Each year, several hikers and climbers partaking in adventure activities are victims of serious, sometimes fatal, accidents in the Andes. Climbers should be well informed concerning the possible hazards and exercise extreme caution in steep or slippery areas, which are neither fenced nor marked. Exercise extreme caution while climbing the Huayna Picchu peak near Machu Picchu, where serious injuries and deaths have occurred. Assaults have also been reported along the Inca Trail and in the Huaraz region of the Cordillera Blanca mountains.

There have been several recent accidents and drownings involving tourists whitewater rafting, particularly on the Urubamba River near Cuzco. Companies offering whitewater rafting in Peru, their guides and their equipment may not be held to the same standards as similar companies in Canada.
Swimming in jungle lakes and rivers can be dangerous due to the presence of parasites and wildlife. Strong currents exist in the Pacific Ocean and in rivers. Seek advice from local residents before swimming and consult local authorities about recent conditions.
Recently, spiritual cleansing and ayahuasca ceremonies, offered by shamans and other individuals, have led to serious illness and even the death of several tourists. Ceremonies involve taking substances that can cause medical complications and severely impair cognitive and physical abilities, and often take place in remote areas with no access to medical facilities. Tourists have also been assaulted or injured while participating in such ceremonies. These services are not regulated and there is no way to assess the safety of any of the services, the operators or the Shamans.

The following information has been obtained from the Peruvian authorities and is subject to change at any time. The country- or territory-specific entry/exit requirements are provided on this page for information purposes only.

Prior to travelling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Temporary passport holders may be subject to different entry requirements. Check with diplomatic representatives for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.

Migration card
Travellers entering Peru via a land border must complete a form called the Andean Migration Card (Tarjeta Andina de Migración) upon arrival.
Entry stamp
Ensure you receive an entrance stamp in your passport from Peru's immigration office at the port of entry, even at land borders, where immigration offices may not be open at all hours or may be difficult to locate. Make sure to cross at official checkpoints only and obtain the required exit stamp from the country you are leaving in addition to getting a Peruvian entry stamp. By law, Peruvian immigration officials will require anyone who does not obtain a stamp upon entry to apply for an expulsion order before leaving the country. The application for the expulsion order is lengthy and may take weeks to complete. Expulsion will result in being barred from re-entry. Returning to the original point of entry to obtain the stamp before leaving Peru is no longer acceptable by Peruvian immigration officials.
If your passport is lost or stolen, a new Andean Migration Card and a new entry stamp on the replacement passport must be processed at the National Superintendent of Immigration (Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones) (Spanish only).
Length of stay
The length of stay—up to a maximum of 183 days—is determined by immigration officers. Overstaying is a criminal offence and Peruvian offenders will be fined 4.05 Peruvian soles for each day of overstay. This fee must be paid upon exiting the country.

We strongly recommend that Canadian children carry a consent letter if they are travelling abroad alone or travelling with only one parent/guardian, friends or relatives or with a group. A consent letter may be requested by immigration authorities when children enter or leave a foreign country or by Canadian officials when children re-enter Canada. Failure to produce a letter upon request may result in delays or refusal to allow children to enter or exit a country.
Minors exiting Peru after a three-month stay are automatically protected by Peru's law on minors and will require the authorization of both parents/guardians to exit the country.
Children born of Canadian parents in Peru require a Peruvian passport to leave the country for the first time.

Failure to show identification could result in detention.
Fines and other penalties may be imposed by Peruvian authorities for any action considered to be disrespectful at historical and archaeological sites such as Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo and Saqsayhuaman.
Peruvian law strictly prohibits the export of antiques and artefacts (huacos) from pre-colonial civilizations.

Seismic activity
Peru is located in an active seismic zone and is prone to earthquakes. If you are indoors when an earthquake strikes, make your way to a safe zone. Safe zones are usually marked in public buildings with an "S," which indicates where the structural pillars are located. If you are outdoors, keep away from buildings and other areas where objects could fall. Dangerous landslides can also occur following even minor earthquakes.
Tsunamis and high tides
Tsunamis are a series of large waves caused by events such as underwater earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and, less commonly, meteoric impacts. Tsunami evacuation routes are posted along the Costa Verde in Lima and several locations on the coast. Further information is available on the Spanish website Dirección de Hidrografía y Navegación.
Higher tides are experienced several times throughout the year and may, albeit rarely, flood or cause damage along the coast.
There are active and potentially active volcanoes in southern Peru. Ubinas Volcano has erupted multiple times in recent months. Two government department websites provide up-to-date information on volcanic activity (in Spanish): the Geophysical Institute of Peru Instituto Geofisico del Peru (IGP) (in Spanish) and the Geology, Mineralogy and Metallurgy Institute Instituto Geologico Minero y Metalurigico (INGEMMET) (in Spanish).
Debris from erupting volcanoes may clog rivers and cause them to overflow, resulting in potential flash floods and mudslides. Transportation and services may be affected. Ash clouds may cause disruptions to domestic and international flights. If you live or are travelling near active volcanoes, monitor levels of volcanic activity through the local media, pay careful attention to all warnings issued and follow the advice of local authorities. Be prepared to modify your travel arrangements or even evacuate the area on short notice.
Rainy season
The rainy season extends from November to May in the Peruvian Andes.
Since March 2017, heavy rains have caused flooding, landslides and mudslides throughout Peru. The Government of Peru has declared a state of emergency for the regions of Piura, Huarmey in Ancash, Cajamarca and La Libertad to assist with recovery efforts. There may be ongoing disruptions to transportation services in these regions. Monitor local media for the latest developments and follow the instructions of local authorities. Verify your travel plans with your airline or tour operator.
