GATESVILLE — The Coryell County Economic Development Board on Monday continued to fine-tune a draft of bylaws and a procedure for screening candidates to fill two vacancies on the board.
County Commissioner Jack Wall took issue with the phrasing of the bylaws that board members reside "or conduct business" in Coryell County.
Wall questioned whether someone from outside the county who merely opened a business in the county would have a stake in Coryell's economic development. He favored requiring board members to be county residents.
"You want to avoid a drive-by," board member Fred Chavez said. "We will revisit that section" of the bylaws.
The board also considered a detailed set of guidelines for the nomination of prospective board members including selection criteria that consider "the composition of the current board, the current board and committee members' qualities and the dynamic needs of the organization."
The board is looking for two new members: one to fill the Precinct 4 vacancy left by the resignation of Jimmy Clark in May, and another to fill a vacant at-large seat to bring the board to a full seven-member complement.
The board took no action on the bylaws or nomination guidelines Monday.
Board President Dick Van Dyke said the group will need to meet in special session to prepare a budget proposal for the county commissioners' court.

Dianna Agron: Leaving the "Glee" Cast?
Taking a break in between shots, Dianna Agron was spotted relaxing on the set of the hit television show "Glee" on Wednesday afternoon (May 2).
The 26-year-old actress smiled at the cameras while she talked to a gal pal in a big grey sweater and a pair of black riding boots before stepping into her trailer.
The sighting comes amidst chatter that Miss Agron might be leaving "Glee" - which was spurned by her character's injury - of which co-star Jane Lynch recently addressed.
"It caught me by surprise. It was kind of emotional doing my last scene with Dianna, and it really just caught me by surprise at how moving it was. She is just amazing and just a really nice person too. It was like saying goodbye to Dianna, which is a sad thing to do," the 51-year-old actress said.
If this is indeed that last time we see Quinn on the small screen, Lynch assured us that fans will be content with the final episode revealing the senior's graduation ceremony.
"Each kid that is graduating, each senior kind of gets their own little story. There is a Kurt (Colfer) story, there's a Rachel (Michele) story, there's a Finn (Monteith) story and a Quinn story, so all the seniors have a little bit of something special happening for each one of them in the episode," she teases. "Then of course there is the graduation. I haven't read that part yet because we haven't received it, so it's a surprise for us," she added.
Enjoy the pictures of Dianna Agron on the set of "Glee" in Los Angeles, CA (May 2).

Michigan's 2015 recruiting class continues to take shape, as four-star offensive tackle Grant Newsome from the Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, N.J., made a commitment to play for Michigan on Wednesday. He chose Michigan over Penn State, his other finalist.
MUST READ: Rising Stars 2015 QB Tyree Jackson and 2015 ATH Ja'Mar Antwine Earn Their First D1 Offers
When he did announce his decision to commit to Michigan, he decided to do things a little differently by posting a heart-felt letter instead of the doing the usual Twitter announcement.
I don't know about you, but the way Newsome announced his decision was impressive and it would be nice to see others take note of this.
With this commitment, Newsome becomes the seventh member of Michigan's 2015 class, joining safety Tyree Kinnel, corner-back Garrett Taylor, linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr., quarterback Alex Malzone, offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr. and kicker Andrew David.
This is obviously a big commitment for Michigan considering the shape of Michigan's offensive line last season. According to HighSchoolSports.NJ.com, in 2013, Newsome helped Lawrenceville to 2,101 passing yards and 17 touchdowns to go along with 1,467 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground from his offensive tackle post. He received First Team All-State Prep and First Team All-Mid-Atlantic Prep League honors following the season.
At 6-foot-7 and 280 pounds, Newsome is very tall and lean and you add that with his raw athleticism and talent and you're talking about a young man with plenty of overall talent and potential.
He is very strong in pass protection and is very sound in providing good blocking in the running game. Due to his length and overall frame, he is able to protect the edge, but he does however need to refine his technique and add some more weight to his frame.
Overall, this is a solid commitment for the Wolverines and if they continue down this road, lookout.

The University of Texas System Faculty Advisory Council (UTSFAC) is advisory to the Board of Regents and to the U.T. System Administration and functions to define, analyze, resolve, and make recommendations on faculty issues concerning the well-being and excellence of The University of Texas (U.T.) System and to contribute to a more general process of providing leadership in setting a strategic agenda for faculty development in the U.T. System.
Charge to The University of Texas System Faculty Advisory Council
The UTSFAC is charged with:
1. Identifying issues of concern to the faculty, Board of Regents, or well-being of the U.T. System.
2. Responding to issues at the request of the Board of Regents, Chancellor, U.T. System Administration, and/or UTSFAC membership.
3. Conducting fact-finding, background exploration, exposition, analysis, and deliberation on issues and to develop recommendations and/or action plans for review by the UTSFAC.
4. Disseminating information to the UTSFAC, Board of Regents, and faculty and administrators of U.T. System institutions.
Each U.T. System institution, through its faculty governing bodies, selects two designated representatives and an alternate to the UTSFAC. These individuals become regular members of the UTSFAC for the length of their terms of service in their respective governing bodies. Each alternate, if asked to represent his/her institution in the absence of a regular member, will enjoy the full rights and responsibilities of regular members. Terms of service are determined by the institution, with a one-year term being the standard. In selecting their designated representatives, institutions should strive to maintain continuity of membership and ensure broad faculty input. The names of faculty-designated representatives to UTSFAC are certified by the respective instituional president as to meeting the institution's criteria for UTSFAC representation and forwarded to the Chancellor. Normally, new members begin service at the first meeting of the academic year.
Mode of Operation
The UTSFAC conducts its business through committees, in which issues are deliberated and open forum, in which issues are decided. Committees include an Executive Committee and three Standing Committees: Academic Affairs and Faculty Quality, Governance, and Health Affairs. Ad hoc committees may be appointed. Roberts' Rules of Order serves as the standard for the conduct of meetings. Business may be conducted electronically providing a majority of members participate.
Standing Committees
At the first meeting of the academic year, each member chooses a Standing Committee on which to serve, with approval of the UTSFAC Chair. Members of each standing Committee choose Co-Chairs to lead the Committee for a one-year renewable term.
Committees will submit a written report at the final meeting of the academic year.
Academic Affairs and Faculty Quality The Academic Affairs and Faculty Quality Committee makes recommendations on issues related to the academic mission, well-being, recruitment, retention, and support of the faculty, including:
Governance The Governance Committee makes recommendation related to the role, status, and well-being of the faculty, including:
Health Affairs The Health Affairs Committee makes recommendation related to the role, status, and well-being of the faculty at the medical components, including:

Cara Griffith, Income Migration: What Does It Really Mean for States? (Tax Analysts Blog; my emphasis):
Still, the data seems to strongly suggest that tax policy (more than warm temperatures) does in fact drive income migration. But that statement is not particularly shocking. In addition to the interstate income migration, U.S. citizens have expatriated to avoid federal tax consequences and even abroad, there has been migration among European nations to avoid high tax countries (remember Gerard Depardieu?).
The question is what does this mean? Will we one day end up with the majority of millionaires in a handful of low tax states while those making more meager incomes remain in high tax states? No. It's highly unlikely. The decision of where to locate is not done in a vacuum. It is the result of many factors, income tax burden being only one of those factors. Employment, family connections, and quality of public services (in particular education and health care) play roles as well. Migration solely because of tax policy is uncommon and likely restricted to the very rich.
But this does not excuse bad tax policy. Good state tax policy dictates a stable system with a broad base and low rates. High income tax rates can cause a small, but wealthy portion of the population to leave and can directly affect small businesses. We have the federal government to worry about income redistribution and business regulation. States should focus on tax systems that will create competitive business climates. That, in the end, will encourage residents to stay put.
A broad base and low rates equal good tax policy. Iowa takes the opposite approach, with some of the highest rates and a zillion tax breaks for the well-connected and well-lobbied. There is another way.
Speaking of tax migration, Americans turn in passports as new tax law hits (CNN Money). Sometimes the jaywalkers don't want to be shot.
Russ Roberts, New York City tax economics (Cafe Hayek):
The top 1% made 34% of the income but paid 43% of the taxes… You'll often hear how the rich have used their political power to lower their tax burden. Yes, some of the rich have a disproportionate share of political power. But their power must be pretty limited if they still pay 43% of the income taxes collected in New York City.
And really, considering the cost of living there, the next 49% have pretty healthy incomes too. But the 1% can leave.
David Brunori, Feeling Petty About Guns? Tax Them (Tax Analysts Blog)
Davis, Pascrell and their gun control buddies obviously don't understand some basic concepts of tax policy. They're proposing a special tax, an excise, on a particular product. Everyone who has ever studied tax policy will tell you that those taxes are warranted only in limited circumstances. The idea is that an excise is appropriate when it's used to compensate society for the external costs of using a product. In basic tax school, we call those costs externalities. Say I live in rural Virginia, far from any high-crime area. I own a .22 rifle because I like to shoot empty beer cans. And maybe I own a .45 automatic in the unlikely event of a home invasion. I've never committed a crime. And let's stipulate that I'll never commit a crime because most gun owners never will. And I don't hunt because I'm a vegetarian and don't like to shoot critters.
We should impose an excise tax on bad tax policy. Now there are some externalities.

Anna Bligh – Heads better Roll
The real facts are only now only emerging weeks after the story first broke.
However there is more to this story of bungling and incompetence and the more is important to look at because it is placing Queensland Tax Payers lives at risk every day we continue to use the WorkBrain application for Rostering Queensland Health staff.
It is not as simple as saying that SAP and WorkBrain do not work. It is not as simple as saying IBM is incompetent and should lose every State Government Contract on which they currently work though both of statements are fact and undisputed.
You need to look at what the combined consequences are of these applications not working properly, and IBM being involved, at this time in a Healthcare organisation such as Queensland Health.
The Minor Consequences:
These consequences have already been seen and experienced. Queensland Health staff will never be paid correctly whilst the WorkBrain application stays in use within Corptech for Queensland Health.
The current WorkBrain system is either not paying people at all, is not paying people for overtime or additional time they have worked, or worse still and highly illegal is the fact that more than twenty thousand of the seventy five thousand or so Queensland Health staff are very likely being "Skimmed" on a weekly basis without even knowing it.
The WorkBrain award interpreter is shaving small amounts from each pay of thousands of workers who cannot figure out how or why they have not been paid correctly.
Imagine trying to calculate your pay to see if it has been skimmed by $5, $10 or $20 when a $100 Million mega calculator payed for with your taxes cannot even work it out accurately.
Major Consequences:
Inaccurate Pay, though inconvenient for the employees of Queensland Health, and as illegal in corporate behavioural terms as this is for Queensland Health is only the tip of this dangerous iceberg in terms of what is actually going wrong with this critical and potentially life threatening application.
Imagine if you will a complex rostering application that is supposed to roster the right number and type of specialist care doctors and nurses to work at any given time in a given place throughout the great state of Queensland.
Now imagine it is not working correctly, partly because it was never designed to do this task for healthcare providers such as Queensland Health, partly because of its inherent coding glitches and finally because it has been modified so greatly by IBM beyond how it is supposed to be used that it has become inherently dangerous in the accuracy of the
Because of WorkBrain the type of medical care and skills that are available to taxpayers, in an emergency and god help them should they ever need it, at every Queensland Health facility cannot be guaranteed when this failing application is being used.
In short, Queensland Taxpayer's lives have been at risk from the moment they turned it on.
The time to act is now:
Anna Bligh, I wonder what it will take. Will it take strike action, will it take a class action by the Queensland Health staff whose pays have been affected or will it take a class action by the people and the families of Queensland whose lives have been ruined or lost because when they needed critical medical attention most it simply was not available because the staff were not rostered to work where and when they should have been.
One of the most disturbing issues here is not the fact that a bad decision was made 5 years ago by a few well meaning public servants or the fact that the application as it exists today will never work properly, it is the fact that the current Premier Anna Bligh and Deputy Premier Paul Lucas does not have the wisdom or courage to change it now before someone loses their life.
In a statement today the Premier, Anna Bligh, said "If there has been any failure to implement this properly we won't hesitate to take the appropriate action."
In a statement made by the Deputy Premier last week Mr Lucas said "I have made it clear I take this matter very seriously."
Premier and Deputy Premier the time for your cheap talk is done.
We are now not only talking about stuffing up peoples pay, we are talking about Queensland Taxpayers lives.
It takes great courage and conviction to make the hard decisions and it is time for you to do what the Taxpayers of Queensland pay you to do.
Make the hard decision and turn this application off.

'Fallout 4' mod support isn't coming to PlayStation 4 after all
Bethesda says the issue lies with Sony.
Bethesda says the issue lies with Sony.
It's coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Aug. 30.
Despite the fun of exploring the wasteland in VR, key elements are missing.
The terrible, post-nuke wasteland is coming to virtual reality next year.
Xbox One is the first console to support mods for 'Fallout 4' and here's a selection of favorites that are available now.
Cats aren't a big deal in 'Fallout 4,' but now you have the means to fix that.
Beat down mutated fish monsters with bloody fish hooks, and other revelations.
The last of the announced add-ons for 'Fallout 4' arrives on May 19, a new trailer confirms.
We've come a long way since the days of "horse armor."
Slap together your own robo-pets using spare parts and teddy bear heads.
You can also create your very own Thunderdome, apparently.
No, it's not Dogmeat.
Now you can drink the famous Nuka Cola.
Wouldn't the post apocalypse be so much more enjoyable if you had Taylor Swift staring at you all the time?
You won't get much for doing any of them, but who cares?
Apparently it's quite difficult to survive when the world's been razed and irradiated by a global nuclear apocalypse.
It's a harsh world out there. Best to be prepared.
He also has a strange obsession with his virtual ass.
The last 'Fallout' game arrived five years ago and ran on older hardware. So why does this new one feel so similar, for better and for worse?
So blowing up the whole world with nuclear bombs isn't enough of a lesson for humans to stop being dicks.
It comes with a plastic version of game's wrist-mounted computer.
The "Fallout 4" swag game is definitely on point.
Do you feel lucky, punk? Oh, okay. Great!
Slavering mutants are no match for your ninja moves.
Guns only get you so far in a world shattered by nuclear blasts. You need some smarts, too.
Make no mistake: Having a high Charisma after most of the world's population has been wiped out is a handy thing.
No, really. According to this trailer, you can eat feet. People feet.
This adorable German Shepherd mug is the model for the one that fights by your side and scavenges helpful supplies in Bethesda Softworks' upcoming game.
Shooting and stealing are everyday activities in the post-apocalyptic wilds of 'Fallout 4.' If you want to be good at them, you'll need a high Perception stat.
Being strong is important when you're stuck in a nuke-blasted wasteland.
'Fallout 4' is going to grow beyond its Nov. 10 launch day form.
Come November, you'll be able to buy, sell and trade property in Fallout's nuclear wasteland.
Catch up on all the post-apocalyptic happenings in the 'Fallout' series before 'Fallout 4' arrives in November.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Boyzmamacita, Nov 18, 2012.
Well, there's only 3 days before the next game.
yeah he aint playing, but he has 10 days rest after that.
Mike Fisher just said Smith was cleared to play today but Smith didn't want to due to pain.
He may be able to play this Thursday.
We'll see after the MR tomorrow. And it's a big deal because we don't have another LT or swing tackle on the team. I suppose you could move Free to LT and put Cook in at RT if Parnell goes down. Not liking it.
Probably the rest of the season if Murray is an example.
Went down to Fort Worth to visit family recently and I saw Flozell shopping at the Lowe's off of Eastchase. He was buying a huge window unit air conditioner. He is still huge :laugh2:
Your choice:
A. Rub a little dirt on it.
B. Next man up!
Hey, Tyron can play on one leg. Put him back in!
Maybe he's like Dirk? Dirk always plays through ankle sprains.
Window unit? What is he already worried about money? Mitsubishi Mr. Slim A/C Systems is the way to go if you don't have room for new ducting.
Our home edition didn't have room for ducting so we got two Mr Slims for it. Freaking AWESOME! Way better that a stupid (and loud) window unit!
Kristi Scales said that Smith was on the sidelines ready to go if needed. He was the emergency lineman and could of played if needed. He was held back for the Wash game, but if another lineman went down, he would have gone in.
Nice to know, but that isn't consistent with a high ankle sprain. We'll see. I hope Kristi is right.
Does it matter? It isn't like Smith was dominating at any point this season. Heck, if Smith manages to finish the season as being a mediocre LT, that would be pleasant.
Nick Eatman @nickeatman
Tyron Smith has high-ankle sprain. Could be out a few games. Time for Parnell to step up.
Maybe it was for his his garage or something. Maybe he is some sort of hobbyist. I hear DeMarcus Ware and Ron Washington frequents the same Lowe's so I am assuming there are nice houses out there somewhere. I dont know the area well enough to know.
The problem is his replacement could be even worse and probably will be.
He's not going to be on the field Thursday... High ankle sprains are 4 to 5 week injuries, SMH.

While I haven't follwed every detail of this patch set, I'm not quite sure I see that as being very fair to Simon. Simon has put a lot of time into Hot Standby and has followed the pseudo-defacto community process from design through what he believes to be near-completion; he can't be sure of completion until someone reviews his work. Honestly, I'm not trying to marginalize your effort reviewing other patches, and I know everyone is busy. Hell, as much as I'd love to have this feature, I too have been unable to find enough time to review Simon's stuff. However, over the past few months, I seem to recall seeing Simon submit countless requests for review and regardless of whether it was completely ready to go November 1st or not, at this time I don't think anyone but Simon has a complete view of what his patch(es) even look like. Yet, albeit with almost no review from the committers, Simon has continually worked through testing, revising his patches, and requesting information and suggestions from the community. Frankly Tom, I don't know of anyone in the community with as much experience in the recovery code as you and Simon. So, any of the major edge case problems will probably only be found by you regardless of how many of us review Simon's work. I do know that this is a feature which a large number of Postgres users really want and were counting on being in 8.4. Looking forward, if no one wanted to review these patches in November, and seemingly no one wants to review them now, how can we expect this to change for 8.5? Can anyone point out something Simon did wrong in this process? -- Jonah H. Harris, Senior DBA myYearbook.com

Attachment Styles are Related to ERPs Elicited to Angry Faces in an Oddball Paradigm

ABSTRACT: Attachment theory suggests that anxious attachment is associated with hypervigilance to threatening social stimuli, and avoidant attachment with avoidance or suppression of processing such stimuli. Twenty-five students viewed angry, fearful and neutral female faces in four visual oddball tasks, and completed the Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Autonomy-Connectedness Scale, and Anxiety and Depression subscales of the Symptom Checklist-90. When the oddballs were angry faces in a background of neutral frequents, we found higher levels of autonomy and secure attachment to be related to larger N100 and smaller P300 amplitudes; higher levels of anxious attachment were, on the contrary, associated with smaller N100 and larger P300 amplitudes. Variation in attachment is related to approaching, or withdrawing from threatening stimuli, and ERP-techniques add to our understanding of how the attachment system actually works.

BATH coach Toby Booth says his side will be stepping up to "another level altogether'' as they try to lower the colours of Saracens at the Rec tonight (7.45pm).
The second-placed London side are one of the favourites for the Aviva Premiership title and have lost only once away from home in the league this season – at leaders Northampton in October.
Bath are defending an unbeaten record at the Rec this season and Booth admits tonight's fixture is likely to be the fiercest test yet of that proud run.
"The table doesn't lie in that regard,'' said Booth of the threat posed by Saracens.
"This is another level altogether for us, but at the same time it's a massive opportunity for us to see how far we've come this season.
"They are one of the Premiership favourites for a reason and the way they play makes it very difficult for you.
"It's going to be a real challenge, but at the same time it's a challenge that we're really looking forward to.
"They are tough to beat and play a very high pressure game. They kick the ball a lot and ask questions of whether you can deal with that.
"We've positioned ourselves well (in the table) so far, but there is plenty of work still to do.''
Back row Matt Garvey and wing Anthony Watson came off during the win over Wasps last weekend, but remain in contention tonight, although flanker Carl Fearns is still missing with a hamstring problem.
George Ford and Dave Attwood return from England duty to feature, but prop David Wilson will sit it out.

Mumbai: It seems that the all rumors which have going around all over town these past few weeks are true and indeed actress Amrita Rao will no longer star in Siddharth's film. As all of you may already know, the actress had initially agreed to star in the motion picture directed by the celebrity Siddharth.
But now it seems that the Bollywood actress has made the unexpected decision of quitting the project that she had accepted prior. The sources say that the main reason for which she has quit the movie was due to the fact that the producer did not offer her 5 stars accommodation spot.
The producers decided to cut down the cost, and naturally they no longer provided these sorts of hotels. The Bollywood actress made it very clear that she does not want to work under these conditions, and most of all she is not that desperate to star in a Telugu movie production. So the producers are presently looking to find a replacement for Amrita Rao.

Coast Survey Plans for New Arctic Nautical Charts
NOAA Corps Captain John E. Lowell, Jr., has been named the new director of NOAA's Office of Coast Survey. Assuming his new post on November 1, he will simultaneously serve as the U.S. Hydrographer. In his dual roles, Capt. Lowell will be responsible for overseeing NOAA's hydrographic services, including the mapping and charting of all United States navigational waters.
"We're delighted that John Lowell has been named to this important leadership post within the National Ocean Service," said John H. Dunnigan, assistant administrator of NOAA's National Ocean Service. "He brings to the position a wealth of experience through a wide variety of assignments during his 26-year NOAA career. His experience and leadership will serve the nation well as we focus on important changes that will improve navigational safety and coastal protection."
Capt. Lowell takes over the director's helm after serving for the past three years as chief of Coast Survey's Marine Chart Division. In that position, Capt. Lowell oversaw a revolutionary change in the production of nautical charts. The new chart system, which is undergoing a five-year transition period, will improve the quality, consistency, and timeliness of providing nautical charting data to the nation.
He is a 1982 graduate of the Florida Institute of Technology, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Oceanographic Technology. He recently completed the JFK Harvard Senior Executive Fellowship program.
He began his career with NOAA in 1984 and has over ten years at sea aboard many NOAA ships, including Mt Mitchell, Rude, Heck, and Surveyor. More recently, he served as Executive Officer on NOAA Ship Rainier and Commanding Officer on NOAA Ship Fairweather.
Lowell succeeds Captain Steven R. Barnum, who completes a 29-year federal career, all of it in the NOAA Corps. Barnum served as director of NOAA's Office of Coast Survey and U.S. national hydrographer for the past three years.
"Capt. Lowell brings to this position a deep understanding of the technical and operational challenges facing 21st century navigation," said Barnum. "His proven leadership in developing the processes and partnerships that support growing needs of maritime commerce and coastal planning will be instrumental in the coming years."
The Office of Coast Survey, originally formed by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807, maintains the nation's national suite of nautical charts, surveys the coastal seafloor, responds to national emergencies and search for underwater obstructions and wreckage, and develops hydrographic models to help coastal planners understand and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

A soaring number of young singles in Melbourne are choosing to ditch the traditional February 14 date night in favour of Anti-Valentine's events.
Inner-city venues are even encouraging this trend, the Herald Sun reported.
Windsor bar Morris Jones has dedicated a floor of the Chapel St venue to anti-Valentine's dinners, owner Hayden Burbank said.
Burbank explained that these events are popular since there are a lot of single people who want to get out and don't want to stay home on Valentine's by themselves.
He said bookings for anti V Day dinners were mostly from women in their mid-20s and 30s with "predominately all-girl tables" expected.
Trendy restaurants Touche Hombre, Claremont Tonic and Louie are also taking the pressure off February 14, according to owner Davis Yu.
Yu said his venues, in the CBD and South Yarra, were taking the "cliche" out of the loved-up date.
Yu said his venues were expecting couples in groups tomorrow night, rather than romantic dinners for two.
Singles are also staying in with a trend towards throwing "lonely hearts club" private dinner parties at home. (ANI)

Florence, Italy (SPX) Sep 09, 2013
Bacteria living in the Gulf of Mexico beaches were able to 'eat up' the contamination from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill by supplementing their diet with nitrogen. Professor Joel Kostka will tell geochemists gathered in Florence for the conference that detailed genetic analysis showed some of the bacteria thrived on a diet of oil because they were able to fix nitrogen from the air.
The research -- the first to use next generation sequencing technologies to dig into the detail of how the native beach microbes are metabolising the oil over time -- could open the door to much more sophisticated clean up techniques.
"Oil is a natural product, made of decayed plants and animals, and so is similar to the normal food sources for these bacteria." explains Professor Kostka, a microbiologist from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
"But because oil is low in nutrients such as nitrogen, this can limit how fast the bacteria grow and how quickly they are able to break down the oil. Our analysis showed that some bacteria are able to solve this problem themselves -- by getting their own nitrogen from the air."
Professor Kostka worked with Professor Markus Huettel, a biogeochemist from Florida State University, to take more than 500 samples over two years from Pensacola beach in the Gulf of Mexico, starting when the Deep Water Horizon oil slick first came ashore in June 2010. By analysing every gene of every bacteria in the sample, they were able to see which bacteria were present and how they responded as the conditions on the beach changed.
The researchers looked at the prevalence of genes which encode for different types of activity -- such as nitrogen fixing or phosphorus uptake -- to identify exactly how the bacteria were degrading the oil.
"By understanding how the oil is degraded by microbes, which microbes do the work, and the impact of the surrounding environmental conditions, we can develop ways to intervene to support the natural clean-up process," says Professor Kostka.
"However, we need to do this in a very measured and targeted way, to avoid long-term, unintended damage to the ecosystem. For example, in the past, nitrogen fertiliser has been sprayed onto contaminated beaches to speed up the work of the bacteria. Our analysis shows that, where bacteria can get this nitrogen naturally, such drastic intervention may not be necessary."
The genetic analysis carried out by Professor Kostka and his colleague Konstantinos Konstantinidis at Georgia Tech can show exactly how the oil-degrading bacteria are working at each part of an affected coastline, making it possible to identify which beaches are most effective at self-cleaning and target mitigation efforts -- such as offshore booms -- at the most vulnerable areas.
But not all the bacteria thrived on a diet of oil. Professor Kostka's research showed that some bacteria which play an important role in the ecosystem of the beaches experienced a sharp decline following the contamination in June 2010.
"There's a tendency to focus on the short-term, visible effects of an oil spill on the beach and assume that once the beach looks 'clean' then all is back to normal," he says.
"Our analysis shows some of the invisible impact in the loss of these important microbes. We need to be aware of the long-term chronic damage both a spill -- and in some cases our attempts to deal with it -- can cause."

Tuesday Marks Tax Extension Deadline
(Washington, DC) -- Tuesday still marks the tax return deadline for Americans who filed an extension, even amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.
Tax Representative David Selig says don't expect much help from the IRS as the shutdown drags on. Selig says people can either try to submit the paperwork themselves, or get a hold of an accountant who doesn't mind working on short notice.
Military members serving overseas and those affected by flooding in Colorado are eligible for a second extension.

NCAR News Release
|FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 13, 2000
BOULDER -- Scott Doney, a chemical oceanographer at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), will be awarded the James B. Macelwane Medal at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) this week in San Francisco, California. The medal recognizes significant contributions to the geophysical sciences by a young scientist of outstanding ability. NCAR's primary sponsor is the National Science Foundation.
Doney came to NCAR as a postdoctoral fellow in 1991, the year he completed a Ph.D. in chemical oceanography in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Joint Program. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of California, San Diego.
The award cites Doney's "many and varied" interests and talents and notes his work has been both prolific and insightful on topics that include
Most recently Doney has been collaborating with Inez Fung (University of California, Berkeley) on a computer model of the global carbon cycle within NCAR's Climate System Model. The goal is to look at both natural variability and climate responses and feedbacks resulting from human activity over the next couple of hundred years. Doney is also developing a new model of the biochemistry of marine ecosystems and analyzing biological variability in the oceans at the regional scale.
"It's a great honor and rewarding to see my work being recognized," says Doney. "I realize, though, that no one works in a vacuum and that the award really reflects contributions of all of my colleagues."
Three previous Macelwane award winners have been associated with NCAR:
NCAR is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a consortium of more than 60 universities offering Ph.D.s in atmospheric and related sciences.

Fashionistas flocked to Macy's Passport presents Glamorama, a fashion show that puts the spotlight on charity and the glamorous styles featured at the famous department store.
Lots of well-dressed celebrities were on hand at the Orpheum Theatre, downtown in the heart of L.A.'s fashion district. They were there to support AIDS Project LA and Project Angel Food, as well as to enjoy a beautifully choreographed show on stage at the historic theater.
Top designers in the industry put their best fashions forward as models strutted their stuff wearing collections from Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Tracy Reese, Hugo Boss, INC, Just Cavalli, Marc by Marc Jacobs, lingerie by Felina/ Jezebel, and men's underwear from 2(x)ist.
There was something for everyone's style preference. Calvin Klein was classic, of course, with the old preppy look refreshed for a new generation. And the Just Cavalli had an old hippie/flower child influence that was turned into a sensational high fashion look.
Plus there was a wild debut for the Material Girl collection, a youthful clothing line exclusive to Macy's designed by Madonna and her teenage daughter Lola. Model-dancers wore the trendy urban styles with a dash of edginess and did a dynamic dance segment choreographed by Brian Friedman, choreographer-judge on So You Think You Can Dance?
Another highlight of the show was Grammy-winning singer Macy Gray, who concluded the show with a powerful performance, as all of the models came back on the stage to give us a final look at the cornucopia of fashion. Gray's new single "Beauty in the World" seemed to be the right theme song for the night. Chart-topping recording star Eric Hutchinson also performed and delighted the crowd.
Earlier in the evening red carpet arrivals had some celebrities who deserved best dressed awards, including Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) who looked like a classic cover of GQ. And Harvey Guillen, one of the stars of Huge, showed that he is a big young guy who knows how to look sharp.
Energetic Dancing with the Stars contestant Kyle Massey (Cory In the House), along with his handsome brother Chris (Zoey 101), were dress youthful-casual with outfits Kyle described as "a cross between Justin Bieber coolness and a sporty Will Smith influence. I'm all about being comfortable and having fun," Kyle told me. He also vowed to impress everyone with his style on the DWTS dance floor each week.
Brandy, another DWTS hopeful, was on hand wearing a shirt dress with a full skirt that would look great in a waltz number.
The most unique dress was worn by lovely Raina Hein from America's Next Top Model. She had the special Office Max (a Glamorama sponsor) dress accented by various office supplies. Raina could make anything look good, even with a paper clip belt. So sweet, she showed me how to "work the runway," in the animal print tunic outfit I made, accented by an Elana Sigal Design beaded necklace. It's nice to feel stylish for a change.
Other style mavens were Serena Williams in a tight red dress, and Sara Rue showing off her new slim Jenny Craig figure. Mad Men's leggy actress Alexandra Ella wore a glitzy corset dress, and said her best fashion tip is "a good fit. If it doesn't hang right, don't wear it."
Glee's Mark Salling (who really should be on the cover of GQ), Nestor Serrano (Secretariat), Omari Hardwick (Dark Blue), Dee Wallace (ET), Michael Learned (General Hospital), Robbie Amell (True Jackson VP), Twilight's Justin Chon, and producer of the show, Mike Gansmoe, Macy's V.P. of special productions, were among the other well-dressed notables.
Stunning in a red Erte-style gown, LaToya Jackson introduced the extravaganza, the largest HIV/AIDS benefit fashion show in the country. Glamorama had a new vibe this year, opening with a theatrical fantasy created by designer Chris March, a finalist on Bravo's Project Runway: Season 4. It created excitement for a night of fun and fashion.

Buenos Aires (UPI) Feb 14, 2013
Argentina's inflationary spiral worsened in January, with independent analysts estimating the monthly rate rise may be the highest in 22 months.
Critics of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner want the government to spend more time controlling inflation and promoting job creation. The government's burgeoning international diplomatic effort over the Falklands sovereignty claim is seen as diluting scarce financial resources that are needed for economic regeneration.
The independent financial analysis was leaked by opposition lawmakers who were able to access independent firms' data through the congressional freedom of expression committee. Independent financial analysts are banned from releasing their research except to Congress, and data are usually obtained through convoluted procedures pursued by opposition lawmakers.
The reported inflationary rate of 2.58 percent for January was calculated by analyzing the average of independent research results produced by private sector companies. That rate works out to about 26.28 percent per year.
The government has yet to release the January inflation figure but opposition critics say official versions of financial data are unreliable.
Argentina has been criticized by international bodies including the International Monetary Fund over the veracity of its statistics about economic indicators.
The government is also facing international censure over its alleged failure to address outstanding debt issues related to its sovereign defaults. Litigation by major creditors in U.S. courts has seesawed between rulings sympathetic to Argentina or its detractors.
U.S. President Barack Obama suspended Argentine participation in the Generalized System of Preferences in 2012, citing the country's failure to pay arbitration payments due to a number of U.S. firms that were affected by Argentina's 2002 devaluation.
Analysts said the reported inflationary spike was likely to set Argentina's angry labor unions again on the war path. Labor unions want higher wages to reflect price rises.
One government response has been to talk to supermarkets to lead them toward a price freeze for basic consumer commodities. Home appliance suppliers were also urged to hold down prices.
Fernandez has been telling the nation her policies of regenerating Argentine industry are paying off. She said a 1.9 percent expansion of the economy in 2012 was due mostly to industrial revival. Opposition critics want more data to support that claim.
Argentina's agriculture has witnessed several reversals because of drought, restrictive farm policies or external factors. Exports have also suffered because of price differentials triggered by overvaluation of the peso after a spate of capital inflows by opportunistic investor entities.
Government economists warned the peso's overvaluation could hurt Argentine exports outside the commodities sector.

Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee Chairman Mary Bono Mack (R-CA) met recently with reporters and outlined a 2012 agenda focused on job creation, economic growth, and consumer protection. The agenda includes:
Pro-Jobs, Pro-Growth Solutions
The subcommittee will continue its focus on American manufacturing. Bono Mack announced a jobs and innovation forum, to be hosted by subcommittee member Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY), scheduled for next week to examine ways to make it easier to make it in America. The subcommittee will discuss what steps can be taken to bring back jobs to the U.S. and encourage investment in America's future. Bono Mack said she wants to make "made in America" matter again, beginning with a plan to remove unnecessary regulatory burdens and job-destroying polices.
"Today for the first time in our nation's history, America's $15.1 trillion national debt exceeds the yearly production of the entire U.S. economy. It's time for the President to recognize that his policies aren't working and to begin listening to some new ideas. As Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce Manufacturing and Trade I stand ready to work with him," Bono Mack said recently.
In addition to preserving American jobs and seeking opportunities to bolster our competitive edge, the subcommittee will explore new ways to encourage growth and bring new jobs to America. The committee will host a series of hearings to examine the opportunities and challenges affecting different sectors of our economy. The chairman believes that there are several opportunities for job growth in this country, one being the expansion of U.S. tourism. Bono Mack has also invited U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson to testify on the administration's views on promoting U.S. manufacturing.
"Bono Mack also said she's eager to ensure the country is doing everything it can to promote tourism, which she said could drive job creation and is crucial to her home district." -- The Hill
Efforts to Streamline Government
Bono Mack welcomed President Obama's long-overdue proposal to consolidate commerce and trade-related agencies but believes much more must be done to reduce government bureaucracy. The subcommittee will continue to explore ways to eliminate waste and allow for a more business-friendly environment.
"Bono Mack said she wants to "explore what the president has in mind and nudge him toward an agenda that is more pro-entrepreneur, pro-business and pro-freedom rather than just consolidation of power.'"
-- The Desert Sun
Greater Protections for American Consumers and Families
American families are vulnerable to a number of hazards every day, whether it be online or on the road. The subcommittee will continue to work towards stronger protections for Americans' health, liberty, and property.
The panel will continue hearings on internet privacy issues to determine if legislative action is needed to safeguard consumers. Subcommittee members will discuss ways to enhance online protections while maintaining an open and free internet. The subcommittee will also continue its work on data security legislation to protect consumers in the wake of cyber attacks and identity thefts.
"On data security the chairwoman stressed the SAFE Data Act remains very much in play
especially in light of breaches recently involving companies such as Zappos. She said it will "continue to be tweaked until it's done.'" -- Politico
With oversight authority over the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the subcommittee will examine ways to make our vehicles and roadways safer without imposing unnecessary costs on consumers.
Bono Mack is also personally invested in the fight to cut back on drugged
drunken and distracted driving and hopes to hold a hearing on the topic featuring Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. -- The Hill

Milwaukee UP: Milwaukee now has some Monsters in their House
First there was Dr. Gregory House, the irritable M.D. that audiences love to love because of his quirky nature and his ability to save people.
Then came Slaughterhouse, a collective of angry rappers that formed a group to set the record straight on what real rapping is all about in an attempt to save hip-hop from dying.
Now Milwaukee can say they have a rap "house" collective with the newly minted group Monster House.
This new house of monsters is made up of self-proclaimed "Midwest monster" emcee SPEAK Easy, producer/engineer Dave "Audiopilot" Derrilykt and rapper/crooner Panic.
Yesterday they released their debut sound that goes bump in the night, a track called "Clips," via East Coast blog site TheMadBloggers.com.
The group is working on an album called "Raiders of the Lost Art" for release in 2012.
Head on over to TheMadBloggers' Bandcamp for a listen.

Thursday, April 11, 2013 4 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Location: Maine Maritime Academy, 1 Pleasant St, Castine, Maine
For more information: Elaine Potoker / Tim Koster; 207-326-2121 / 207-326-0137; mainemaritime.edu
CASTINE, Maine – Maine Maritime Academy's Career Services and Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business and Logistics is hosting a seminar on Thursday, April 11th from 4-6 p.m. The seminar is designed to educate participants on working in a union environment in the U.S. or overseas. The event is free and open to the public and will be held in the Delano Auditorium in Leavitt Hall on the MMA campus.
Because it can be difficult to predict how a particular career path may evolve, or how many careers one might have in a lifetime, anyone anticipating they may work in a union environment, faculty members who are supervising student internships, educators, and anyone interested in learning more about unions and the labor movement are strongly encouraged to attend. The topics of discussion will include useful information about unions and working in a union environment, some differences between unions in the U.S. and other countries, what collective bargaining is, what is in a union contract, and much more.
The seminar will feature a panel of four professionals who are well versed in the union workforce:
Valerie Carter isa Research Associate and Instructor at the University of Maine's Bureau of Labor Education (BLE) where she has been working since 1995. Carter will focus on comparing unions, employee representation, and worker rights in the U.S. and in other countries, primarily in the European Union.
John R. Hanson is the Director Emeritus of the BLE at the University of Maine, having served as its director from 1978 until his retirement in 2005. Hanson will be providing a broad historical and current overview of the U.S. labor movement, discussing what unions are, how they function, and the benefits of unions for workers, employers, and the economy.
Gary McGrane is the Staff Associate at the University of Maine's BLE and has worked in the private sector for more than thirty-five years, before being appointed to the Bureau in 2005 to conduct occupational health and safety training in Maine's ship/boat building and construction industries. McGrane will be presenting a union perspective on collective bargaining and union contracts, and the critical roles of union shop stewards and business agents.
Sarah Newell is a Shareholder at the law firm of Eaton Peabody in Bangor, Maine. Newell will focus primarily on the processes of labor negotiations, grievances, and arbitration, from a management perspective.
The event will be moderated by Dr. Elaine Potoker, professor at the Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business and Logistics at Maine Maritime Academy. She received her Bachelors' degree from SUNY, Potsdam; a Masters' degree from the University of Chicago, and a Ph.D. from the Ohio State University. Potoker has been with the Loeb-Sullivan School since 1997.
This event is free and open to the public. This is the second of two seminars focusing on career and workplace issues of importance to students and those who advise them. For more information about the events, please contact Dr. Potoker at 207-326-2121 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Loeb-Sullivan School extends thanks to MMA's Career Services and Students in Business and Logistics (SBLA), as well as MA342 International Human Resource Management, Bureau of Labor Education (BLE, University of Maine), and Eaton and Peabody, Bangor, ME for their support of this seminar.
Maine Maritime Academy is a co-educational, public college on the coast of Maine offering 15 degree programs in engineering, management, science and transportation. For more information, visit mainemaritime.edu

Bishops gain an ear on Capitol Hill
At long last, much needed U.S. health care reform came a step closer to realization Nov. 7 when the House of Representatives approved a bill containing the most sweeping changes in more than four decades.
The measure addresses many of the inadequacies that have long plagued the health care system.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, often an uncompromising exponent of the most liberal Democratic positions, proved the ultimate pragmatist as the issue headed to a vote. In order to make it work, she turned her back on the unyielding pro-choice lobby and inserted an amendment, advanced by Catholic U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, that reinforces an existing ban on the use of federal money for the procurement of abortions.
The Stupak Amendment articulated a position that the Catholic bishops had rightly and forcefully advanced in the run-up to the final vote. Some argue that the bishops crossed state-church lines, but all the reporting showed that pro-choice advocates had equal access to the process and the legislators. While we have argued with the bishops' single-issue political strategy in the past, this was a case in which they were doing what religious leaders should do -- speaking forcefully to those with power about an issue on which they have strong convictions.
In the give-and-take world of politics, the compromise this time went their way.
The hope is that the bishops, having won a restriction on abortion, will argue as forcefully and expend the same energy in rallying the Catholic community to push for approval of a similar bill in the Senate.
The bishops were able to gain an ear on Capitol Hill in no small part because of their previous cooperation with largely Democratic initiatives aiding the poor and marginalized, and because health care reform has been on the bishops' legislative agenda for years.
Ellen Nissenbaum, legislative director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, told columnist James Oliphant that the church "played a critical role in a number of initiatives over many years that affect our most vulnerable people. Their work has made a tremendous difference on fundamental issues of poverty and economic justice."
That work can often get lost in the political heat of the moment, but it is what underpins the conference's credibility in the public square.
The bishops of the United States have long seen health care as a right that should be afforded everyone regardless of ability to pay. Despite polls that show majority citizen approval for universal health care, including a public option, tremendous forces are arrayed against reform and they will be focused on gutting any substantive change in the Senate version of reform.
It is time for the entire Catholic community to weigh in on the need for meaningful health care reform that will provide universal coverage. It is a matter of justice, long overdue.

Tips for Making the Big Hairstyle TransitionSubmitted by SharpMan Editorial Team on Monday 11th October 2010
- Changing your hairstyle.
- What's the best look for you?
- What about your length, look and hairline?
Changing one's hairstyle isn't as easy as is sounds. The fact of the matter is that third world counties change their governmental structures more frequently than guys change the way we wear our hair.
Hell, the last time I changed my hairstyle was about four years and three cars ago. Bob Dole jokes were still hot and Bill Clinton hadn't had relations with "that woman."
Are you looking to change your "do" before the next presidential administration? In searching for our own path to hairstyling Nirvana, the SharpMan Team enlisted the efforts stylist Rita Timulak of Regis Hairstylists. Consider these SharpGroomingguidelines for your next hairdo overhaul before stepping up into the stylist's chair:
What's your build?
A vital factor in determining your best Sharp hairstyle can be found by simply looking in the mirror. What kind of build do you have? More specifically, direct your attention a little lower than your melon to the stump or pencil that it rests upon.
Yes, your neck.
Are you the short-necked type, who pumps up for a few hours and can touch your ear to your shoulder when you shrug? Or are you of the long-necked variety, à la Budweiser bottles? Rita notes this is an important factor. What does she recommend? "Close and tighter for fatter, thicker necks and more and longer hair for thinner, longer necks."
Face up.
Even if you have a face only a mother could love, Rita says SharpMenshould consider their facial factors before "doing" it:
Round faces. The SharpMan with a round face should style his hair away from his face so as not to accentuate the roundness of his face. Full hair on the sides will also make the face look fuller and rounder. Go for some length on the top to add length and height to the face.
Thin faces. The thin-faced SharpMan should not to add height to his hairstyle — unless he wants the Gumby look. Rita says, "Fuller sides for men with thin faces will add a dimension of width."
Big ears. Forget the grade school jokes that haunt you about your big ears and remember Rita's advice: "Men with big ears could go with a longer style around the sides and over the ears to draw less attention to this feature."
Big noses. For big-nosed SharpMen, the advice is this: avoid the clippers. A buzz cut, cue ball or any too-short variation will make a mountain out of a mole hill if you nose what I'm sayin'.
Facial scars. If your scar is close to the top or sides of your face, a stylist may be able to recommend a way to wear your hair to obscure the scar. Otherwise, ignore it and most everyone else eventually will too.
How long — or short — is it?
Going from long hair to suddenly short hair can be a bit drastic. By the same token, gradually going from short to sloppy to long can be excruciatingly slow. Check out these tips when planning your length transformation:
Going from short to long. If "The Karate Kid" had been a movie about going from a short hairstyle to a longer one, Mr. Miyagi would have offered the same advice. "Patience, Daniel-son. Patience." One must be patient in making the transition from short to long.
Rita advises, "Keep your sides and your back cut short until your top starts to grow." The idea is that you let the top part of your hair grow first, and only then start letting the sides and the back grow. This keeps your do from looking sloppy during the "transition" period.
Of course, long hair does take time, but it may be worth the wait. Look at what long hair did for Samson — incredible strength and a hot chick. Now we at SharpMan aren't promising 50 pounds on your bench press or a comely coed, but, hey…it could happen.
Going from long to short. Now, long-haired SharpMen may be thinking, "I'll keep my long hair, thanks; look what getting a haircut did for Samson!" But come on guys, let's face it, it's starting to look like you've had that style since the days of the Old Testament. And relax. Going from longer to shorter doesn't mean the Marine-orientation-week look. (That is of course unless you want it that way, private.)
On going from long to short, Rita notes, "It depends on how much of a change you want. If you want a radical change, then just go for the gusto and take it all off." But if you're not sure what look you'll ultimately settle on, Rita suggests going from long to short in stages.
With any luck, shorter hair will do for you what it did for John Stamos's career. Well, maybe that's a bad example. But he did get Rebecca Romijn.
Advice for the Costanzas.
OK, so you're definitely a SharpMan, but you're also human. After all, when you're cut, do you not bleed? When you're hurt, do you not feel pain? When you grow older, do you not get bald?
The answer to all of these questions is "yes." And the best thing to do is to take a receding hairline in stride. As Rita notes, "The worst thing for a balding man to do is to grow it long and try to mask (the baldness)." Forget any form of comb over, let alone the infamous "wraparound." "The shorter (your) hair is, the easier it blends. Long hair on a balding man just contrasts the areas where there is a lack of hair."
The bottom line? Keep it short all over and ignore it. You'll be seen as Sharper for it.
The last snip.
What's in a haircut? A lot. Our hairstyles are defining characteristics of our identities as men and conquerors. A change may be the move that gets you out of stagnation, and points you in a new and better direction. Does the hair make the man? Will a certain hairstyle lead you to a certain lifestyle? Unfortunately it's not that easy, because if that were the case we'd all be in line to get the "Hugh Hefner."This article last updated on Wednesday 13th October 2010

The group Write Action began in 1999 in Brattleboro to raise funds for a local writer whose computer had been stolen. Since that time, the group evolved into a support network for writers and sponsor of the literary arts in southern Vermont.
Write Action has just released an anthology of poems and stories written by authors in the Brattleboro area. It's called The Best of Write Action number 2: The Tenth Anniversary Anthology. Edited by Arlene Distler and Toni Ortner, the anthology is "a record of shared life" in the Brattleboro area, gathering dozens of accomplished and relatively new writers into one collection.
VPR's Peter Biello spoke with Arlene Distler about the anthology.

I have a wrap that is centered on a page. Beneath it have another wrapper with a different width. I need to place basically, another div behind both of them that is also centered within the body. I'm not sure this can be set up.
If I set up a div with position: absolute, I can almost achieve this but I am unable to center it within the body. In a sense, I need another wrapper behind these others, with a different width. The blue box in the example represents the area with which I'm trying to place content. I just need a layer/div that exists behind the others and is centered.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
That should be easy to do. I would simply wrap another div around the ones you have and center it. Just put the blue image on it as a background, make it non-repeating and offset it from the top by the amount desired. I definitely wouldn't go down the pos: absolute path. That's much more likely to have issues on various devices.
