Binary tarballs with 'devel' in their name include support for debugging and tracing, and are compiled without optimization. Tarballs with 'production' in their name are optimized, omit assertion checks, and avoid the overhead of debugging and tracing support.
The latest development version of Charm++ can be downloaded directly from our source archive. The Git version control system is used, which is available from here.
This development version may not be as portable or robust as the released versions. Therefore, it may be prudent to keep a backup of old copies of Charm++.
Check out the latest development version of Charm++ from the repository:
- $ git clone https://charm.cs.illinois.edu/gerrit/charm
This will create a directory named charm. Move to this directory:
$ cd charm
To obtain the current stable release, 6.7.1, switch to branch charm-6.7.1:
- $ git checkout charm-6.7.1
And now build Charm (net-linux example):
$ ./build charm++ netlrts-linux-x86_64 [ --with-production | -g ]
This will make a netlrts-linux-x86_64 directory, with bin, include, lib etc subdirectories.
These binaries are compiled every night from the version control system, and tested for every platform, so you will always find here a working version. Every precompiled binary contains also the entire source tree, and it will be guaranteed to compile on the desired architecture. Previous nightly build versions of Charm++ are also available.
Binary tarballs with 'devel' in their name include support for debugging and tracing, and are compiled without optimization. Tarballs with 'production' in their name are optimized, omit assertion checks, and avoid the overhead of debugging and tracing support.
The latest development version of Projections can be downloaded directly from our source archive. The Git version control system is used, which is available from here. To build Projections, you will also need gradle.
Check out Projections from the repository:

*If you're making this juice as part of the 3-Day Winter Juice Fast please read all of the fast guidelines in the post before participating in the fast.
Day 1 Juices
Morning Juice - Clean Machine Cleansing Juice
Midday Juice - Rhapsody In Red Detox Juice
Evening Juice - Alkaline Ecstasy Cleansing Juice (this post)
An alkalizing green juice is a mineral-dense powerhouse that will build up your body and prepare it for deep rest and restoration. Spinach cleanses, regenerate cells, builds blood, and clears the respiratory system, while cucumber hydrates and nourishes the skin and connective tissues with silica. Along with the cuke, celery is a natural diuretic. It also helps to calms the nerves. Antioxidants and carotenes in carrots combat free radicals and bolster the production and function of white blood cells for immunity. The apples and optional burdock root help break down toxins while you rest.
Ingredient Cleansing Benefits:
Spinach - Highly alkalizing, spinach contains nearly twice as much iron as any other green, and helps to build blood by helping red blood cells carry oxygen. It also helps strengthen all other cells, particularly those of the respiratory system and brain. Rich in chlorophyll and carotene, spinach can help reduce the development of abnormal cells and macular degeneration. Rounding things out, spinach also provides carotenoids, lutein, vitamins A, B complex, C, K, folic acid, iodine, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, sodium and manganese, and many amino acids.
This popular and readily available mild leafy vegetable serves as a great introductory green for juicing. While spinach is cooling, we include it in every seasons cleanse since it's a versatile ingredient that pairs well with all fruits and vegetables.
Cucumber - This vege-fruit truly is the ultimate cool-hydrate-cleanse food. It's right in there regulating body temperature and easing inflammation. A relative of squashes and melons, the cuke is a natural diuretic (due to that abundant water), aiding in cell hydration, waste removal, and dissolving kidney stones. Cucumber's high silica content is great for the skin, and helps alleviate eczema, psoriasis, hair loss, and strengthen nails. The silica in cucumber also reduces the concentration of uric acid, which causes inflammation in the joints, muscles and tendons. A natural blood-pressure regulator, cucumber is high in vitamin A (mostly in the peel), B complex, C and folic acid, amino acids (methionine and tryptophan), potassium, sulfur, and natural chlorine. To take advantage of the nutrients in the skins, we always use the less-bitter-skinned English/Dutch variety. Any cucumber, though, goes well in our recipes.
We add cucumber to many juice blends as a way of adding mineral-rich water that's way more beneficial than the plain filtered stuff. Cucumber juice is chock-full of nutrients, yet barely alters flavor. Cucumbers are intensely alkalizing, and a half (or whole) cucumber worked into a batch of juice offsets the acidic effects of high-sugar fruits and aids detox. Cucumber is our go-to base for sugar-free, alkaline juice blends, too. Make sure your cucumber is organic and hasn't been embalmed in a coating of wax.
Celery - Alkalizing, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and loaded with nutrients: essential amino acids, tryptophan, vitamins A, B complex, C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, iodine and copper, celery is also effective against respiratory conditions like bronchitis and asthma, and helps lower blood pressure. The organic sodium and potassium in celery make this juice a great post-workout refresher that helps replace electrolytes. It's also a natural laxative and diuretic, supporting bowel and kidney health. Celery is a cooling vegetable, and we work it into our juices to take advantage of the rich mineral content and natural calming and sedative properties. We like it just as much, though, for its great flavor.
The natural salts are more abundant in the leaves, so when juicing celery, push the entire stalk (leaves and all) through the machine. That will yield a tangier, more savory juice. Celery makes a nice addition to almost any mix, especially juices made with leafy greens and other vegetables. As it sits, celery juice tends to get more assertive flavor-wise, so it's best enjoyed right after it's made. If you're not using immediately, chill it, sealed up, but for no more than a few hours.
Carrot - A relative of parsley and celery, carrots contain loads of life-extending carotenes and minerals. This vegetable helps lower cholesterol, too, and alleviates skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, all while enhancing the respiratory system's resistance to infection. A great source of vitamin A, carrots also contain the magical antioxidant glutathione, which protects against free radical damage, and B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Carrots fuel the production of white blood cells and enhance their performance, and are a great immune booster. These brilliant orange roots also deliver powerful anti-inflammatory agents, helping to relieve the symptoms of rheumatism and arthritis.
Carrot is a warming and strengthening vegetable perfect for cleansing. Cut off the greens (the jury is still out as to whether they are toxic or beneficial), but don't peel the roots—much of carrots' nutrients lie in the skin or just beneath. Just scrub, roughly chop (if using certain masticating juicers) and push through your juicer. The earthy sweet flavor of the juice, much richer than that of carrot itself, combines well with apple, pineapple, beets, tomato, ginger, and cinnamon, so this one works well in both sweet and savory juices.
Apple - Tasty, able to break down toxins, lower cholesterol, and enhance digestion, this fruit is a popular, versatile, and cost-effective go-to for juices. With phytonutrients, powerful antioxidants like quercetin, vitamin A (in the peel), vitamin C, and significant potassium, apple is a prime detox food that's available year 'round. As an aid to cleansing, apples' high pectin content provides a great bowel regulator, able to slow the colon down or speed it up, as the body needs.
Apple is a cooling food, and we include it in juices to balance the bitterness of leafy greens and other vegetables. The sweet tang of apple blends with almost all fruits and vegetables; our preferred variety is Granny Smith, which has a tarter flavor and lower sugar content than common reds like Fuji, Delicious, and Honeycrisp. That said, this fruit is versatile, and our recipes work with any apple you have on hand.
We recommend coring apples before juicing, as the jury is still out as to whether the bit of cyanide occurring naturally in the seeds is detrimental to health.
Burdock Root - Loaded with vitamin C and other antioxidants, chromium, iron, magnesium, silicon, thiamine, and inulin, this righteous root cleanses the liver, combats inflammation, supports the kidneys, lungs, nerves, and glands, helps prevent calcification in the joints, boosts immunity, and is sensational for the skin. The mucilaginous fiber of the root absorbs, binds, and removes toxins in the digestive tract. You can find burdock root at Asian grocers and some health food stores. The taste is fairly neutral like a parsnip. You only need to push a small 1-inch piece through the juicer to reap the rewards.
Try our 3-Day Juice Fasts or 14-Day Detox Dynamo Cleanse.

The former logistics operator was one of the 5,000 employees who received their redundancy notices on 15 April last year.
Since then he has struggled with a number of firsts including writing his CV and signing on, as well as months of rejection by potential employers.
Last December he finally landed a job as an entertainment adviser for a firm that maintains television units next to the beds in Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham.
But the pay-cut has proved difficult and now Mr Hanson, 48, is taking his wife, Melanie and 16-year-old son Joseph to make a fresh start in Devon.
"When redundancy first happened I was shocked but now looking back it has given me the opportunity to live the dream," he said.
'Worked out brilliant'
"Moving to Devon is something we've always wanted to do but we always put it off. Now we are going to go and do it.
"Small things that happened at the hospital - like patients the same age as me dying - helped us decide we're going to live for each other."
His house has been sold and the family are just waiting for their purchase of a new home in Newton Abbot to be finalised.
With a new future secured he admits the closing of the Longbridge has actually been a blessing for him.
"If it hadn't been for Rover I wouldn't have been able to buy our house to sell it to buy down in Devon," he said.
"Me and the wife are both going to get part-time jobs - just enough to get by - and enjoy each other's company.
"I would even have it happen again to me - I've been through dark days but things have worked out brilliant."
But reflecting on the last 12 months for the entire workforce he does feel some regret.
"There's sadness at the passing of the British car industry and I miss all of my mates - the comradeship - that's the biggest thing I've lost.
"I'm glad Rover is still in the news, something should be done but I don't think Nanjing are the right people to do it."
His former team leader has been keeping the 40 or so workers from Mr Hanson's department in contact and has organised a reunion later this month.
"He's said with people working or moving this will probably be the last one we have," Mr Hanson said.
"They've struggled to find work mainly but I do know three people who found work around Selly Oak Hospital - two as porters and one as a student nurse.
"They said it was a big change - the drop in money, they didn't know how they'd manage but they did and they seem to be a lot happier.
"But then I talked to another lad coming up to 60 who is stacking shelves and it's killing him - that is the other side of it."

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Good Fish 8/19/13
Department of Health and Human Services
|Public Health Service
Food and Drug Administration
|College Park, MD
Sixto De Souza N.
Gerente General
Joanquin Mancheno N75-38
Avenida Jose Andrade
Quito, Pichincha
Re: 408770
Dear Mr. DeSouza N.:
We conducted an inspection of your manufacturing facility located at Joanquin Mancheno N75-38 Avenida Jose Andrade, Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador on March 4 and 5, 2013. During that inspection, we found that you have serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123, and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 (21 CFR 123 and 110). At the conclusion of the inspection, the FDA investigator issued an FDA-483, Inspectional Observations, listing the observations noted during the inspection.
We acknowledge receipt of your response sent via email on April 24, 2013. Your response included several documents, such as the results of histamine testing performed at your firm, a Hazard Analysis document, a HACCP Plan entitled ((b)(4), a HACCP manual entitled (b)(4), a copy of your corrective action record template, and a copy of your organoleptic analysis template. However, our evaluation of the documentation revealed that the response was not adequate, as further described in this letter.
In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your fresh fish fillet products are adulterated, in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation and the 4th Edition of the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and Controls Guidance (the Hazards Guide) through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
The Hazards Guide can be found on our web site at: http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/Seafood/FishandFisheriesProductsHazardsandControlsGuide/default.htm
Your significant deviations are as follows:
- You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical control points, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (c)(2). A critical control point is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(b) as a "point, step, or procedure in a food process at which control can be applied and a food safety hazard can as a result be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels." However, your firm's revised HACCP plan provided in your response dated 4/24/2013 for your vacuum packed fresh fish fillets (mahi-mahi and other histamine forming fish) does not list the critical control point of cooler storage for controlling the food safety hazard of histamine formation. Specifically, your revised HACCP plan does not list (b)(4) as a critical control point (CCP). Your HACCP manual "(b)(4)" states on page 10 that this product can remain in the cooler for up to three days following washing and weighing.
- You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the critical limits that must be met to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). A critical limit is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(c) as "the maximum or minimum value to which a physical, biological, or chemical parameter must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level the occurrence of the identified food safety hazard." However, your firm's revised HACCP plan for vacuum packed fishprovided in your response lists a critical limit of (b)(4) at the receiving critical control point associated with the internal temperature monitoring parameter that is not adequate to control histamine formation. FDA recommends a critical limit of 4.4˚ C to control histamine formation at receiving for primary processors conducting histamine testing at receipt of the fish from the harvest vessels.
- You must implement the procedures that you have listed in your HACCP plan to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(b). However, your firm did not follow the procedure of utilizing oxygen permeable vacuum packaging at the bagging critical control point to control Clostridium botulinumgermination, growth and toxin formation listed in your HACCP plan for fresh vacuum packed fillets. The packaging material used in your (b)(4); however, this is insufficient to prevent C. botulinum growth and toxin formation.
Should your firm choose to continue to use your current packaging, FDA recommends that time and temperature indicators (TTIs) be affixed to each individual sealed package of fish so that end users can determine if the packages have been exposed to times and temperatures that can lead to the C. botulinum germination, growth and toxin formation before the product reaches the end user. An alternate way to control C. botulinum in raw vacuum packaged fish is to freeze and distribute frozen vacuum packaged product that is individually labeled with "Important, keep frozen until used, thaw under refrigeration immediately before use."
You should respond in writing within 15 working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these violations. More specifically, your response should include documentation that would assist us in evaluating your corrections, such as a copy of any revised HACCP plans; five (5) consecutive days of completed monitoring records (i.e., records for the production of 5 production date codes of the products) to demonstrate that you have implemented the revised plan or plans; and any additional information that you wish to supply that provides assurance of your intent to fully comply now and in the future with the applicable laws and regulations. Submission of the information in English will assist in our review. If you cannot complete all corrections within 15 days, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
If you do not respond or if we find your response inadequate, we may take further action. For instance, we may take further action to refuse admission of your imported fish or fishery products under Section 801(a) of the Act (21 U.S.C. §381(a)), including placing them on detention without physical examination (DWPE). FDA's DWPE is an administrative procedure whereby products offered for import into the United States may be detained without physical examination upon entry. DWPE information may be conveyed in FDA's Import Alerts. For your information, an example of an Import Alert that conveys information specific to foreign firms that are not in compliance with the seafood HACCP regulation [21 CFR Part 123] is Import Alert #16-120. This alert can be found on FDA's web site at:
This letter may not list all the deviations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act and all applicable regulations, including the Seafood HACCP regulation and the current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Additionally, Section 743 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-31) authorizes FDA to assess and collect fees to cover FDA's costs for certain activities, including re-inspection-related costs. A re-inspection is one or more inspections conducted subsequent to an inspection that identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act, specifically to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Re-inspection-related costs means all expenses, including administrative expenses, incurred in connection with FDA's arranging, conducting, and evaluating the results of the re-inspection and assessing and collecting the re-inspection fees (21 U.S.C. 379j-31(a)(2)(B)). For a foreign facility, FDA will assess and collect fees for re-inspection-related costs from the U.S. Agent for the foreign facility.
The inspection noted in this letter identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act. Accordingly, FDA may assess fees to cover any re-inspection-related costs. Please consider providing a copy of this letter to your U.S. Agent.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Leonora Darlington, Consumer Safety Officer, Office of Compliance, Division of Enforcement, Food Adulteration Assessment Branch (HFS-607), 5100 Paint Branch Parkway, College Park, MD 20740 U.S.A.

A burning issue : fashion and sun protection
Brough, Dean (2011) A burning issue : fashion and sun protection. In 2nd Annual POPCAANZ Conference , 29 June - 1 July 2011, Auckland, New Zealand. (Unpublished)
The 'dick' tog, a briefs-style male swimsuit as it is colloquially referred to, is linked to Australia's national identity with overtly masculine bronzed 'Aussie' bodies clothed in this iconic apparel. However, the reality is, our hunger for worshiping the sun and the addiction to a beach culture is tempered by the pragmatic need to cover up and wear neck-to-knee, or more apt, head-to-toe sun protective clothing. Australia, in particular the state of Queensland, has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world; nevertheless, even after wide-ranging public programs for sun safety awareness many people still continue to wear designs that provide minimal sun protection.
This paper will examine issues surrounding fashion and sun safe clothing. It will be proposed that in order to have effective community adoption of sun safe practices it is critical to understand the important role that fashion plays in determining sun protective behaviour.

text: Today I bought a Rick Owens DRKSHDW jacket. (Yay.) It has an interior strap, black cotton about an inch wide and 20 inches long, stretching loosely from underarm to underarm. I've seen straps like it on other Rick Owens jackets too, always on the inside. I will probably just ignore it, and let it hang down inside of the jacket. But I'm curious to know what it's for and how it's expected to be used. Thanks in advance if you know

Published: December 22, 2011 at 6:30 PMSo, Robert, considering both Transformers and Cars Land, as well as crowd levels, weather, and ride downtime due to seasonal event setup, when would you suggest someone should plan a SoCal vacation in 2012? Late August after local schools are back in business and before Halloween setups cause attraction down time?
Published: December 23, 2011 at 10:31 AMLate August traditionally is slammed at the local theme parks, as many schools don't start until September (though many systems are starting earlier each year).
The Disneyland AP seasonal blockout lifts on Aug. 20. So I'd visit before then. Crowds will get huge starting than day and running through Labor Day.
Published: December 23, 2011 at 11:00 AMI visited SoCal in early August this year and the crowd levels were manageable and the weather was absolutely perfect. Definitely the time to go during the summer.
Published: December 23, 2011 at 3:27 PMjust call it california why do you have to name it SoCal what??? let me spell it out C.A.L.I.F.O.R.N.I.A lord please help with this valley girl talk just as bad as my grammar!!!!!!
Published: December 24, 2011 at 4:36 AMThanks Robert... bigger issue than crowds may be the holiday overlays. This past year it looks like both Haunted Mansion and Space Mt closed around Aug 29th for about two weeks to get the holiday treatment. That would push a trip back to late September... better for school crowds, I'll warrant, but how much of an intrusion is all the Halloween construction at Universal and Knotts? I have no idea...
And, M-Rod, CA is a long state. I am not intending to hit Fisherman's Wharf, the Disney Family Museum, Great America, Discovery Kingdom, or the Winchester Mystery House in the north. I will be visiting the southern half. Although a pit stop in Bakersfield for some Dewar's Peanut Butter Taffy might not be a bad idea... is that considered MidCal?

IT'S the Colchester equivalent of painting the Forth Bridge. Safeguarding the town's Roman walls is truly a never-ending job, but work is finally soon due to finish on the latest section of repairs.
A £115,000 project has seen builders carrying out work they liken to keyhole surgery on part of the wall which runs behind Roman Road.
Vegetation has been stripped away and the top of the wall has been rebuilt.
Philip Wise, heritage manager for Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service, said the work had confirmed the walls, which show signs of previous repairs over the centuries, are Roman in origin all the way around.
"We've exposed the whole stretch and excavations have confirmed even under the bits which have been repaired above ground, there are Roman foundations," he said.
"We also found a brick pillar, built in the 18th century to support the wall, and discovered a hole was knocked in the wall in the early 19th century to enable access to market gardens outside the walls.
"You could do that then. It would be a criminal offence now!"
The work has been carried out by Essex heritage building company, Bakers of Danbury, which specialised in historical structural and building work, with architectural advice from Colchester-based Purcell Miller Tritton.
Mr Wise said: "It's been a bit like keyhole surgery – doing small bits of work just where it's needed, "We've used the materials and methods the Romans would have used.
"For the repairs, we've used original bits which have fallen off the wall wherever we can. Some of it is septaria, which is compressed mud in layman's terms, and quite hard to get hold of."
The work, which started in March and is due to finish next month, has been paid for by a £46,000 grant from English Heritage and money from Colchester Council.
Paul Smith, borough councillor responsible for culture and diversity, is pleased to have been able to use Essex companies.
He said: "Sometimes, you have to cast your net wide to find the appropriate contractors, but this shows what a diverse range of expertise there is in the local economy.
"Looking after the wall is an ongoing process, but the work we have done here will protect these walls for the next 30 years.
"We're already looking at securing funding to do the next stretches, and will keep working our way round."
The walls played a key role in defending the town down the years, not least when it was besieged during the English Civil War, yet they had been left to fall in to disrepair.
The council made its first concerted repair effort in 1941, on the stretch along Balkerne Hill. The fact resources were diverted from the war effort to carry out the work says a good deal about the poor state into which they had fallen at that stage.
Since then, regular maintenance has been carried out –£300,000 was spent between 1987 and 1996 with a further outlay of £100,000 since 2005.
Mr Smith said: "It is important we continue to look after the walls, and indeed all of Colchester's rich historical heritage.
"They are a major part of the town's character and attraction to tourists."

The Carolina Hurricanes lost 5-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers last night at the Wells Fargo Center, but they still received from positives from the game: captain Eric Staal extended his consecutive point streak to five games with a goal and an assist, and the Hurricanes' other two goals were scored by defenseman Joni Pitkanen and forward Patrick Dwyer.
Goaltending and ineffective special teams were the Achilles' heel for the Carolina Hurricanes as starting goaltender Dan Ellis let up four goals on 12 shots and was eventually replaced by CaW Ward early in the second period. The Carolina Hurricanes' struggles on the power play also continued as the team only went one of six on the man advantage. Flyers' starting goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov made a season-high 39 saves and played well in the third period, stopping 14 of 15 shots in the third period to preserve the lead and secure the win.
The Philadelphia Flyers got the scoring started with a power play goal by Kurtis Foster in the first period; Foster took a pass from Matt Read and beat Dan Ellis with a slapshot over the glove to give the Flyers the lead. The goal was Read's first of the season and was assisted by Sean Courturier. The Carolina Hurricanes would answer just over three minutes later with a goal from defenseman Joni Pitkanen. Captain Eric Staal made a couple of fancy stick-handling moves and then fired a centering pass across to a cutting Pitkanen, who fired a quick wrist shot past Bryzgalov to tie the game 1-1. The goal was Pitkanen's first of the season, and it came 8:47 into the first period.
The Flyers would take a 3-1 lead late in the first period by scoring two goals in 58 seconds. Braydon Coburn scored his first goal of the season, and he was assisted by Jakub Voracek and Brayden Schenn; the Flyers' second goal came 58 seconds later on the powerplay when Ddanny Briere scored his frist of the season by beating Dan Ellis with a wrist shot. The goal was assisted by Claude Giroux and Kimo Timonen.
The Hurricanes would cut the deficit to 3-2 before the end of the first period with a goal from Eric Staal. Great forechecking lead to Staal forcing a turnover deep in the Flyers' zone and beat Bryzgalov with a smooth backhand shot 15:58 into the first period. The goal was Staal's sixth of the season, and he was assisted by Jiri Tlusty.
The Flyers would score their fourth goal of the game a mere 58 seconds into the second period with a wrap-around shot. The goal was the fourth surrendered by Hurricanes' starting goaltender Dan Ellis, which caused Kirk Muller to replace him with usual starter Cam Ward. While Ward would block 13 of 14 shots during his time in the game, the Flyers' would tally another power play goal 12:43 into the second to push the lead to 5-2. The goal was scored by captain Claude Giroux, his third of the season, and he was assisted by Kimo Timonen and Danny Briere.
The Hurricanes would add one more goal in the third to cut the deficit to 5-3, but they were unable to convert on two consecutive minor penalties late in the third period. The Hurricanes' goal was scored on the power play by forward Patrick Dwyer, his second of the season, and he was assisted by Jeff Skinner and Jordan Staal.

|Built to Last: SS Astros' five-year existence equals national tournaments
|From Staff Reports
July 22, 2004 - When Casey McMahan and Chase Helm were 11 years old and just finishing their first year in Little League All-Stars, they decided they wanted to create a select team of their teammates their age. They picked the name "Astros," and the Sulphur Springs Astros were born.
Some five years and 250 games later, they prepare with the team this week to play in their seventh National Championship or World Series. The team begins play Monday in the USSSA National Tournament in Kissimmee, Fla., in a field of 36 of the best teams from around the country.
The Astros qualified for the tournament by winning the USSSA state championship in the fall. At nationals, they will be playing in the Houston Astros exhibition stadium.
As Helm and McMahan pointed out, "We wanted to play the best to get better ourselves. What once was a fear to play the best became a challenge to be the best."
The nucleus of the original team still remains, including the entire infield. Helm is at first base with McMahan at shortstop, Josh Riley at second base and Tyler Rhoades at third. Alex Aguilar pitches and plays left field.
Some of the original players have come and gone and some have gone and then come back. Catcher Trey Neighbors and pitcher/outfielder Shawn Hayes joined the team the second year and still remain. Taylor Carter, Landon May and Cody Withers have been with the Astros for three years. Cameron Bara joined two years ago, Jayden Spencer this season, and Brad Payne and Seth Northcutt rejoined the team this year.
In its five-year run, the Astros have won one national championship and two state championships, plus been state runner-up twice and have captured at least 10 tournament titles. Last year, they were fourth and fifth at two national championships, respectively, and they are the current USSSA state champs.
Charles Helm, James McMahan, Cory Horton and Steve Littlefield coach the team.
"We've come a long way since that first fall season when we won only two or three games," Charles Helm said. "In select ball play, there are three recognized national championships, and this year, the Astros qualified for all three by winning their respective tournaments."
He has this philosophy about his team's success: "You find a group of young men who have a desire to learn and to win, and you get out of their way. That sounds a lot like making it in the business world today. I guess things don't change that much as you get older."

The day got off to a bettar than decent start with Soriano blasting his third homerun of the spring season, and Chris Volstad working three spotless innings. Kerry Wood also made his spring debut and was solid, that was about the extent of the good portion of the day as the wheels fell off shortly there after. Carlops Marmol was touched up, big time. He faced seven hitters on the day, five of them reached base, and four of them scored. Something positive or negative that can be taken away from that depending on how you look at it was Marmol only hit one batter and walked no one. He gave up four hits including a three run blast to rising prospect Dustin Ackley, one outing is not cause for concern, but it is a shock to the system for sure.

Cubs Defense Getting Noticed, For All The Right Reasons
A lot has been made about the Cubs re-dedication, or should I say dedication to the defensive side of the game this Spring, but is it just all talk? I know it's early, but the numbers suggest that maybe the Cubs are on to something. Through three spring training games last year the Cubs committed a whopping nine errors, this year, one. The typical excuse used by many, including the coaching staff last year was that it was early, and mistakes will happen. Well, maybe that's why that coaching staff, well most of it, is now unemployed. Ballplayers are ballplayers, and typically most of them learn the fundamentals at a very early age, that doesn't mean that those players shouldn't continue to practice them. Half the battle with defense is a players desire to actually field a ball the correct way, for years Alfonso Soriano was allowed to hop when making catches. Aramis Ramirez was allowed to ole balls left and right, and there was no consequence, more importantly it never changed, those days are over.

Let the Games Begin, Intrasquad Games
The Cubs don't want to wait until March 4th, and their first Spring Training game against the Athletics, so they are starting early. To finish off this week the Cubs will battle eachother in a set of intrasquad games. The games will take place on Friday and Saturday leading up to Sunday's spring training opener. The intrasquad games with be open to the public (grandstand seating only) and will be free of charge. After 12 days of drills, workouts, and bunt tournaments, I'm sure the players and coaches are just itching to get started, and see what they have in real game situations.
Say Hello To…The Cubs Dominican Academy
Tom Ricketts has been a busy man. Late last week Ricketts was in the Dominican Republic to unveil plans for a brand new, one of kind facility. The 50 acre facility will be located in the town of La Gina, which is just outside of Santo Domingo, and very close to the airport. Just a few of the luxuries that Dominican ball players will have are a total of four fields, one of which being artificial turf. The academy will also be home to four batting cages, eight bullpens, a weight room, and two locker rooms. Rumor has it that the facility will also have a video room, which is a tremendous tool for not only scouting these players, but allowing this players to learn like major league ballplayers learn. Another solid feature of the academy is that it is almost laid out like a college. There is a cafeteria, a dormatory, meeting/class rooms, and has the capabilities to house 80 members including staff and players.

Climate scientists have long argued that ancient air trapped in Antarctic ice is the smoking gun that links carbon dioxide to global warming.
Over the past 800,000 years or so the planet has gone through a series of ice ages interspersed with relatively warm periods (during which glaciers retreat back toward the poles) — and inevitably, these warm interludes happen when there's more CO2 in the atmosphere.
The only tricky part of this argument is that the smoke seems to come before the gunshot.
It's most apparent in the most recent warming period, which began about 19,000 years ago: the temperature seems to begin rising before CO2 concentrations increase.
Climate skeptics have argued that since effects don't come before causes, the whole theory falls apart.
In fact, it's not much of an argument, since even little bit of warming would release extra carbon dioxide into the air, leading to a feedback loop, causing even more warming.
But whatever feeble merit the skeptic argument might have had, a new study just published in Nature — one of two climate studies from that prestigious journal that we're reporting on — pretty much demolishes it.
It's the most comprehensive analysis ever done of carbon dioxide and temperature at the end of the last ice age, and it shows quite clearly that in most of the world, the thermometer began to shoot up only after the atmosphere was spiked with carbon dioxide.

Trainees Welcome National Postdoctoral Association Director
By Eddy Ball
November 2007
Some twenty NIEHS trainees took advantage of Executive Director Alyson Reed's visit to the Institute on September 27 to learn what the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) can do for them and their careers. The reception and informal talk took place in the Executive Conference Room and was hosted by the NIEHS Trainees Assembly (NTA) and NIEHS Office of Fellows Career Development (OFCD) .
Reed assumed her position as the NPA Executive Director in 2003 and has worked closely for several years with OFCD Acting Director Diane Klotz, Ph.D. Klotz has been a member of the NPA since 2004, a member of the NPA Policy Committee prior to becoming a Board of Directors member in 2006 and chair of the NPA Board of Directors for 2007.
During her tenure at NPA, Reed has taken the organization from a struggling, all-volunteer organization to a proactive force in postdoctoral training with a staff of full-time professionals (see text box). The NPA has a comprehensive agenda, Reed pointed out, for "essentially changing the climate for postdoctoral training in the United States."
NIEHS Summers of Discovery and Special Programs Coordinator Charle League also attended the meeting. As Klotz explained, there will be more collaboration between OFCD and Summers of Discovery programs in the future, improved long-term scheduling of training programs and greater structure for the curriculum and career development opportunities for fellows at every level.
"There will be a better integration of scientific training with career development," Klotz continued, "[to] actually bring you as fellows into a more formal mentoring of the Summers of Discovery participants, ...[which could include] participating in the seminar series and gaining teaching experience you can include on a CV."
During an informal interchange between Reed and the trainees, questions and comments tended to focus on career issues, such as the importance of expressing trainee and principal investigator expectations. Reed emphasized the value of creating a structured Individual Development Plan at the beginning of the apprenticeship.
Placement patterns are changing, she noted, with fewer trainees moving on to traditional tenure-track positions. Several trainees at the reception expressed concerns about the return on their investment of time and money in graduate school and advanced scientific training.
Reed readily conceded that neither the national association nor individual institutions have access to sufficient data for analyzing employment trends, market-focused training needs, earning trajectories and the influence of different kinds of training on outcomes. She pledged to continue efforts to improve the situation. "We want an evidence-based policy arena," she observed, "instead of relying on anecdotes."
However, Reed also underscored the opportunities that trainees already have for gaining more control over their training. "Your principal investigators can't cover every base," she concluded. "The idea is to articulate what your interests are and map out a plan for how you are going to get the exposure to those environments where you might want to work."
Overview of the NPA
Advocacy - Both at the national level and at the level of individual institutions, the organization lobbies to establish standards and procedures to ensure that fellowships are in fact a temporary period of mentored apprenticeship, rather than an extended holding pattern with postdocs providing inexpensive, talented labor. In addition to issues of compensation, the NPA has called for policies to promote quality mentoring and measures to encourage both the fellows and their mentors to emphasize this component of the training experience. Since 2003, over 130 institutions have adopted at least some of the group's Recommendations for Postdoctoral Policies and Practices.
Resource Development - Data collection and analysis are important services provided by the NPA. There are enormous gaps in the information available to trainees and their institutions, including exactly how many fellows are in training, what their demographics and working conditions are, and how their careers unfold after they transition from training. This information is relevant to trainees both in their current positions and later when they become trainers and mentors themselves.
In addition to its newsletter and e-mail updates, the NPA helps trainees with a host of practical matters with such resources as the International Postdoc Survival Guide and Job Bank, and it provides models for institutions, including sample text in the publication on Developing a Postdoctoral Fellows Handbook.
Community Building - Before the NPA, there was no nucleus for the people and institutions involved in postdoctoral training. Currently, the organization has 150 sustaining institutional members, representing over 40,000 trainees, and thousands of individual, affiliate and friends-of-NPA members. This continually expanding network helps to keep postdocs and their employers informed and communicating, and it is a driving force in ongoing efforts by the NPA to maintain the momentum of positive change in the climate of postdoc training and to give trainees a greater sense of empowerment.

"All the coverage of the royal wedding made me wonder what the Bible says about kings and monarchies." — Mary
In the history of Israel covered by the Bible, several forms of government appear. In its earliest "pre-nation" existence (patriarchs, exodus from Egypt and wilderness wandering), Israel was essentially a form of theocracy. After the conquest of Canaan, "the nation" was at best a loose federation of tribes. The tribes came together in times of threat or distress, led by a charismatic leader (known as a "judge"; Judg. 4:10-19ff; I Sam. 7:15-17).
Randy "Macho Man" Savage, the professional wrestler known for his raspy voice, the sunglasses and bandanas he wore in the ring and the young woman named Miss Elizabeth who often accompanied him, died in a car crash Friday in Florida. He was 58.
A Florida Highway Patrol crash report said the former wrestler — whose legal name was Randy Mario Poffo — was driving a Jeep Wrangler when he lost control in Pinellas County around 9:25 a.m. The Jeep veered over the raised concrete median divider, crossed over the eastbound lanes and collided head-on with a tree.
Police said he may have suffered a "medical event" before the accident, but the report did not elaborate.
Hoffmann's blast lifts Isotopes to win
Jamie Hoffmann belted a solo homer leading off the bottom of the ninth to deliver the Albuquerque Isotopes (22-17) a 3-2 walk-off win over the Reno Aces (25-16) on a chilly Thursday night at Isotopes Park.
Thursday's game was the opening of a four-game set for the Isotopes in Albuquerque. The Isotopes will take on the Aces and the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.
The Isotopes will be looking to win their third straight game tonight when they face the Aces. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m.
Hoffmann's blast to seal the win came on a night where Albuquerque starting pitcher Dana Eveland fired eight strong innings in which he gave up just two runs.
John Rees was the top predictor at this week's Atomic City Roadrunners' Pace Race, held at Barranca Mesa.
Rees finished the long course of Tuesday's Pace Race with a prediction error of just three seconds.
Tuesday's 3-mile course ventured into Bayo Canyon.
Rees topped Daren Jones, who had the top prediction on the 1-mile course. Jones missed his predicted finish time by six seconds. Eric Burnside was off by seven seconds on the 3-mile course.
Ben Rees was the fastest finisher on the 1-mile course with his time of 7:26. Charlie Hills was the fastest female, finishing in 8:47.
The Los Alamos girls rugby team earned the New Mexico High School State Championship last weekend.
The championship tournament was played Saturday and Sunday at the Municipal Recreation Complex in Santa Fe.
In the final, Los Alamos topped Albuquerque's Hermanitas 34-0. Carlin Morris, Jodi Cull-Host and Orli Shlachter scored tries during the championship match for Los Alamos.
"We have had a long season, but hard work, determination and devotion to the sport has paid off," Los Alamos coach John Morris said to his team following the win. "I watched so many of you place your fears behind you and embrace the game that it was hard for me to restrain my enthusiasm as the weekend played out."
Tyler Hamilton joined Floyd Landis on the list of cyclists who once worked for Lance Armstrong but now say the seven-time Tour de France winner used performance-enhancing drugs.
In an interview with "60 Minutes," Hamilton admitted that he doped and said Armstrong did, as well — using the blood booster EPO in the 1999 Tour and before the race in 2000 and 2001. Armstrong's string of seven straight wins lasted from 1999-2005.
"I saw (EPO) in his refrigerator. ... I saw him inject it more than one time, like we all did. Like I did, many, many times," Hamilton said in the "60 Minutes" interview that was aired Thursday on the "CBS Evening News."

WASHINGTON (AP) — With gasoline prices hovering at $4 a gallon nationally, many Americans are making tough choices: scaling back summer vacations, driving less or ditching the car altogether. And high prices are hitting seniors harder than a month ago.
An Associated Press-GfK poll shows the share of Americans who say increases in the price of gasoline will cause serious financial hardship for them or their family in the next six months now tops 4 in 10.
Overall in the poll, 71 percent said rising prices will cause some hardship for them and their family, including 41 percent who called it a "serious" hardship. Just 29 percent said rising prices are not causing a negative impact on their finances.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a laid-back Midwestern Republican who governed a Democratic-leaning state, is running for president and will declare his candidacy on Monday in the leadoff caucus state of Iowa, an adviser told The Associated Press.
The adviser, who disclosed the plans on the condition of anonymity in advance of next week's announcement, said Pawlenty will formally enter the race during a town hall-style event in Des Moines, Iowa.

The panel will include the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Yvette Cooper, the Conservative shadow security minister Pauline Neville Jones, the Liberal Democrat spokesman for home affairs Chris Huhne, contemporary artist Grayson Perry and the veteran journalist Ann Leslie.
Career: Yvette Cooper is the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. She entered the cabinet last year when Gordon Brown made her housing minister in his first cabinet.
In 1992, after a brief spell as an adviser to the Bill Clinton presidential campaign, she began working with Gordon Brown. She had previously spent two years as an economics researcher for the former shadow chancellor John Smith.
She became an MP in 1997 and joined the government in 1999 as parliamentary under secretary of state for public health.
She is married to the Economic Secretary to the Treasury Ed Balls, who is widely regarded as Gordon Brown's closest ally in the cabinet.
As the chancellor's deputy, she has echoed Alistair Darling's call this week for pay restraint, telling the Financial Times: "It is important we don't repeat the mistakes of the 1970s and 1980s. The challenge is to avoid the sort of accelerating wage increases we saw then. The important thing at the moment and over the next few months is a disciplined and responsible approach to pay in the public and private sector."
Career: Pauline Neville-Jones is the Conservative shadow security minister and David Cameron's advisor on national security. She was formerly the first woman to chair the Joint Intelligence Committee.
She served in the UK Diplomatic Service for over 30 years, working in a number of places, including Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Washington.
In the 1990s she joined John Major's government as a foreign affairs advisor and went on to become political director of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, leading the British delegation to the Dayton negotiations on the Bosnia peace settlement.
She was a governor of the BBC from 1998 to 2004 and was famously involved in the resignation of director general Greg Dyke following publication of the Hutton Report.
In January 2006, she was appointed by David Cameron to head the Conservative Party's National and International Security Policy Group and in July 2007 she became shadow security minister.
Career: Chris Huhne is the Liberal Democrat spokesman on home affairs. He was formerly the party's environment and rural affairs spokesman.
He was the runner up in last year's Lib Dem leadership contest, losing to Nick Clegg by just 511 votes. He had previously run for the party leadership in 2006, coming second behind Sir Menzies Campbell.
Before entering politics he worked in the City and has written a number of books on economic and development issues. After five years as the MEP for South East England, he was elected as the MP for Eastleigh in 2005 and served as a shadow treasury spokesman under Charles Kennedy.
He has led his party's opposition to the government's proposals to hold terrorist suspects for up to 42 days without charge, which were successfully voted through the commons earlier this month.
He has dismissed the plans as "entirely arbitrary" saying: "MI5, the director of public prosecutions and senior police officers think that this is an unnecessary extra power."
He was an arts correspondent for the Times until October 2007, giving up his column "because it takes me away from my first love and main business, making art".
He is currently curating the Unpopular Culture exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, which he says examines a time "before British Art became fashionable."
An autobiographical account of his formative years, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl, was published in 2006.
Last year, he wrote: "Because I occasionally enjoy a dig at pseudo-academic trendiness, some culturati, devout believers in the progressive orthodoxy, assume I am Conservative with a big C. This amuses me, as holding even mildly right-wing views is just about the only thing that will get the unshockable contemporary art establishment on to its hind legs. The intellectually driven art world likes to think of itself as left-wing. This seems to be related to the curious belief that just by loving art you are a better, more moral, person."
Career: Ann Leslie is a veteran journalist and Daily Mail columnist. She was a distinguished foreign correspondent for over 30 years and has reported on conflicts in around 70 countries, including Zimbabwe, China and South Africa.
She joined the Daily Express after graduating from university and was given her own column at the age of 22. She moved to the Daily Mail to cover foreign affairs in 1973.
She has won numerous awards for journalism, including several British Press Awards, the Variety Club Woman of the Year Award for services to journalism and broadcasting, the London Press Club's Edgar Wallace Award for outstanding reporting and the James Cameron Memorial Award for international reporting.
What the Papers Say gave her a lifetime achievement award in 2001 and she is one of only six women in the recently established Newspaper Hall of Fame.
She was awarded a Damehood on 30 December 2006 for services to journalism and said when collecting the honour: "I don't talk about great achievements. It's just the old thing about journalism being the first rough draft of history."

Blake Lively Returns to 'Gossip Girl' Set After Secret Wedding to Ryan Reynolds (PHOTOS)
The newlywed, 25, was pictured in New York City on Monday for the first time since her undercover nuptials on September 9.
Covering her designer wardrobe covered with a long black dressing gown and Ugg boots, she quickly got back to work reprising her role as Serena Van Der Woodsen.
But where was her wedding ring?
The secretive star kept her left hand out of the spotlight, keeping all her fans guessing when it comes to her new bling.
Lively and Reynolds, 35, said "I do" at Boone Hill Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina where the romantic movie The Notebook was filmed.
Celebuzz reported all the details of the big day, which was designed by Martha Stewart and witnessed by 60 of their closest friends and family.
They then stayed on in Charleston for a few days before diving back into their hectic work schedules.
The couple first met while filming The Green Lantern in 2011. Reynolds was previously married to Scarlett Johansson, while Lively dated her co-star Penn Badgley from 2007 to 2010.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
Did you have any strange feelings in the affected area before you noticed the redness and bumps?
why am I talking to an eye person since I asked about my ear?
Not sure......there may not be any ear doctors online right now. I can send your question to the ENT thread if you would like...
this is not what I expected. I thought I would be talking to a general doctor. I do not know what to do. I have pain in my ear adn bumps on my head adn chin that hurt
Ok. I can send your question to the general doctors......or I can help you. I'm a doctor too :-)
It's up to you.......
Sorry about the mixup...
was there any different feelings in the area before you noticed anything?
The most likely reason for your outbreak is shingles. This is a reactivation of the virus that caused chicken pox when you were a child.
My ear started hurting two days ago and yesterday I notices the same side of the ear now my scalp is red adn lat night my chin has bumps
so what do I do?
There is no cure for this problem but things can be done to try and shorten the length of the outbreak.
If it has been less than 3 days since things started your doctor can give you medication such as famciclovir to reduce the pain and duration of your outbreak.
At home you can use medications such as tylenol and motrin to decrease the pain and inflammation.
If you are having a lot of pain ointments such as benzocaine can be put on the lesions and helps a lot. You can get this without an Rx.
I live way out in the country so I do not have access to a doctor
There is unlikely to be anything you have around the house that will help.
The antiviral medication is not absolutely necessary; your body will clear things up in few weeks...the medication just helps to speed this process up....that is, if it is started within 3 days of the outbreak
Does this answer your question?
If your eye becomes involved you really need to be examined by an ophthalmologist as shingles can easily cause serious eye damage if not evaluated and treated if necessary.
ok thanks I hope you are correct in your diagnosis. It sounds like it might be shingles I have never had them so but I have a friend who has them all the time. Can this be brought on by eating too much sugar?
No. You can eat as much sugar as you want without bringing on this condition.
OK thanks for your help.
My pleasure. Have a good day.

Iron cage. (original 1974; edition 1974)
by Andre Norton
Work details
Iron Cage by Andre Norton (1974)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Andre Norton is one of my favorite Science Fiction Authors. The Iron Cage is one of her books that I had not previously read. It is very well written and speaks to being able to live with our environment and other living things instead of destroying for our own gain. As always I really enjoyed the story.
This one is a little slow and hard going for a Norton, but it has more meat and philosophy in it than her usual book as well.
Once the story gets going, it becomes the usual fast, exciting read.

A young boy who has been in the care of a simple tribe of intelligent animals he calls "The People" has to decide between his loyalty to them and his need to be among his own kind.

NEW YORK CITY -- The look of America's malls is changing. Once the sole domain of deep-pocketed retailers, malls are now wooing small, mom-and-pop stores. According to recent press reports, management companies across the country are trying their best to fill space abandoned by national chains and franchises by luring in local retailers. According to one mall management executive, "We're taking a look at anything to generate traffic."
The reason for the new approach, the experts say, is the recent wave of bankruptcies and strategic store closures among name-brand retailers. And the strategy seems to be working. Reduced rents are attracting owner-operated businesses that typically have lower salary overhead than larger retailers; the owners are the ones behind the counter. While not as profitable for malls as the larger chains, this new class of stores does avoid unseemly empty storefronts along a main concourse.
This new crop of mall tenants not only includes mom-and-pop stores that once graced downtown shopping districts, but the relatively new "pop-up" stores whose length of operation is determined by design through short-term leases that extend anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Larger spaces are now being filled with everything from churches to so-called "bounce centers" that include inflatable attractions for kids, while smaller retail spaces are going to stores that sell products ranging from locally produced gourmet goods to craft stores.
For bulk vending and novelty amusement operators, the change represents an unprecedented opportunity. While vending and coin-op have been increasingly welcomed in malls across the country over recent years, retail outlets owned by larger companies have remained elusive. Franchise agreements and corporate policy have prohibited the introduction of bulk vending and other coin-operated devices into locations. Now, with the proliferation of independent retailers into mall spaces, traditional bulk racks, skill cranes, prize merchandisers and photobooths can be located in mall stores in much the same way they were once placed in independent shops lining Main Street.

Many Indians Give Oprah the Thumbs Down
Oprah Winfrey charmed her Indian audience when she came to the country earlier this year on a tour that included a brief appearance at the Jaipur Literature Festival.
But now the show she was working on has aired, the spell appears to have broken.
The smell of incense (tick), the sari fitting (tick), the aspirations of slum dwellers (tick), and the glitz of Bollywood (tick). Let's not forget arranged marriages and the fact that Indians, even rich ones, "still" eat with their hands (tick, tick).
India as Westerners imagine it, one stereotype at a time.
This is how many in India responded to the two India-focused episodes of her primetime series "Oprah's Next Chapter," which aired over the weekend.
In India, the people she interacted with ranged from a family of five living in a 10-foot-by-10-foot room in a Mumbai slum, to Bollywood aristocracy, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.

Abstract: To the best of our knowledge, this study is one of the
first to empirically analyse the trading behaviour of all ETS firms during
the first phase of the EU's Emissions Trading System. We use a unique
dataset which allows investigating the importance of permit trading
transaction costs, such as information costs and search costs. This paper
shows that transaction costs can play an important role in the initial
years of the programme. These costs are significant in explaining why a
number of ETS firms did not sell their unused allowances on the market.
This study also supports the concerns that transaction costs might be
excessive for smaller participants.

Researching change and changing research in geographical education
Lidstone, John & Williams, Michael (2006) Researching change and changing research in geographical education. In Lidstone, John & Williams, Michael (Eds.) Geographical education in a changing world : past experience, current trends and future challenges. Springer, Netherlands, Dordrecht, pp. 1-16.
A popular aphorism has it that the only constant in life is change and this is certainly true both spatially and temporally in geography and geographical education. However, it is also demonstrably true of research itself, whether applied to geographical education or any other aspect of life. Imre Lakatos (Lakatos, Feyerabend & Motterlini, 2000) thought of research in terms of programmes of investigation, and believed that such programmes could be compared according to their relative progression or degeneration, their coherence in mapping out future research, and their discovery of novel phenomena. However, it is often only in retrospect that we can judge the extent to which research in any area constitutes coherent programs of investigation, and one way in which this has been attempted has been to classify and evaluate published research studies. Since the mid-twentieth century, there have been a number of formal classifications of research in geographical education, the most recent being that by Foskett and Marsden (1998). As well as drawing together evidence of "programmes" emerging at the international level, these reviews are useful in consolidating the findings-to-date of research in specific aspects of geographical education while, from an historical perspective also reveal those aspects of the subject important to practitioners and researchers at particular periods, and show how the foci of research may change over time.

Roof racks without roof rails? (BMX X3 F25 2013)

Roof racks without roof rails? (BMX X3 F25 2013)
I have a BMW X3 2013 (F25) without roof rails and would like to put roof rack on the car because we would like to have the possibility to put a cargo box (ski trips) or bikes on top.
I went to BMW Minnetonka yesterday and they said I could use BMW Base support system and I got a print out from them. I read when getting home that the base support system requires roof rails. Strange that they said I could use the base support system because I was explicit that I don't have roof rails.
Anyway, is there any option to put a on a roof rack without rails (I know it is possible on other cars)? I have been going through the forum here on bimmerfest and also did some searches online and all options I found, except one, requires rails. Is this really true? I dont feel like spending 500 USD + labor cost (500?) to retrofit rails.
The only option I found that doesn't require roof rails is called Rhino Rack. Does anyone here have experience of Rhino Rack or can recommend any other roof racks not requiring roof rails?

Any support is appreciated!_a_
