A software tester can begin testing early—very early—before the software has even been built. Karen Johnson explains that one of the best times to start testing a product is in the product-discovery phase.
A software tester can begin testing early—very early—before the software has even been built. One of the best times to start testing a product is in the product-discovery phase. From my own experience and perspective, I feel strongly that I participate and contribute from product ideation to delivery and beyond. On numerous occasions testers have asked me how a tester can help during the product discovery process. I want to share how a tester can do so from the beginning of the early product idea sessions all the way through development and even ahead to the next sprint.
Product Discovery Sessions
When team members work together during product discovery sessions, they are thinking through ideas for how to build a product to meet customers' needs. The team's focus is on designing a usable, deliverable product. During the product sessions, a tester can actively listen to the product being designed and think through user scenarios and integration points with other features and possibly integration points with other applications. By thinking with a testing perspective early on and sharing these ideas, in addition to asking questions early in the process, a tester helps the team uncover ideas for how to build the product better and maybe even how to build a better product. Sometimes the team's tester knows the integration points better than anyone else on the team. Because of our knowledge of existing defects, we are in a position to help avoid introducing similar issues. Just one question posed early in the process can impact how something is built. As I see it, preventing a bug from being built is even better than finding a bug.
Build a Mental Model and Then Break It Down
Envision the software already built. Now ask yourself how you plan to test the software. What areas or aspects of your mental model are unclear? Is there any aspect of your mental model that you cannot envision or seems unclear in your mind? This may include problem areas that have not been well thought out by the team. Remember to ask questions, because your questions can help the team see the parts of the design that need more thought and more planning. By asking questions, you can finish product discovery sessions, be ready to plan the testing efforts, and, more importantly, contribute to a better-designed product.
Once you have your head wrapped around a mental model of what is being built, ask yourself the following questions: How can I destroy this model? What weaknesses come to mind? What are the vulnerabilities? Have I tested anything like this before, and if so, what defects were there? What "what if" scenarios can I think of? Can I now share these testing thoughts with the team?
Defects found earlier in the development cycle are the easiest and the cheapest to fix; imagine finding a defect before the software is even built!
Being able to break something that you cannot see, software that does not exist yet forces you (in a positive way) not to rely on the user interface or being able to actually use the software in order to find defects. Instead you're almost entirely forced to think of the big picture instead of the specific screens of the software or pages of a website, instead your thinking is centered on the purpose of the software without the nuances of navigating screens to find flaws in the flow or the process of the software. The more you're able to envision software before it is built, the more you can help in product-discovery sessions.
Working with an MVP
When a new feature is being built, agile teams often focus on building an MVP—the minimum viable product. This means that the team is keen to build the most basic version of a feature first and to get the feature to market in order to receive customer feedback before the feature is built out in full detail. When team members are focused on building the most basic version of a feature, they may be frustrated dealing with the lone tester on a team. This lone tester thinks and plans for testing, imagining a battery of tests for something that is in its most basic primitive "draft" stage. Your testing ideas and strategies can be refined at the same time the software is being refined; early testing ideas should be rough just like the first versions of the software. Sure, you need to test the software, but when a sketch of a feature is just being built, your testing approach needs to mirror the stage of completion of the developers and the code and not be stages ahead.
Pairing Along the Path
If a developer is willing to share an early build, ask what's working and what's not. Don't report defects in areas that haven't been coded yet. You might mention the issues you found but do so in a way that is thoughtful, so that you're helping the developer and not pointing a figure at "what's not done yet." Time and again I have found developers become unwilling to share early code with testers who test ahead.
As you continue to develop the product, gradually increase the rigor of testing by trying more complicated scenarios and more challenging test conditions. As the software is "firming up," this is a good time to move to security testing and negative testing; think less about confirming testing and more about breaking it.
When a developer shares what unit-level tests he has built or if you're able to review the actual code and unit tests, what additional testing can you execute to both supplement as well as complement the unit testing? Now is the opportune time to think of other scenarios to test, think of integration or end-to-end testing paths you can now investigate. Is the code strong enough to be load tested? If yes, plan with the developer who and how to execute load testing. As soon as the software is developed enough, you can begin security testing as well. Ramp up the testing in coordination with your developers and plan your pacing in collaboration.

To absolutely no one's surprise, Mark Consuelos lives in perpetual fear of Kelly Ripa's penis button, according to People:
"He actually pays me money to keep my clothes on!" Ripa, 39, joked to PEOPLE of husband Mark Consuelos at the Point Honors benefit on Monday night in New York, which she co-hosted with Bravo's Andy Cohen.
"I'm actually given money to put on a parka. 'Put your parka on! Here's another dollar. Put on that hat!'"
So basically Mark Consuelos likes to bang the Gorton's Fisherman. Or am I the only one who got that mental imagery? Also how hard up is Kelly Ripa for cash that she'll do freaky shit just for a buck? Because I've got five right here and a Grimace costume. Just throwing that out there.

I'm trying to write a custom homepage for my wordpress blog.I want to show the top 5 posts from three main categories on columns and I managed to do it.Next to each post link I want to include the post thumbnail but I can't get it to show. This is the code I'm using:
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=86');
foreach($posts as $post) :
if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) ) {
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID,array(100,100));
<a id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

I verified that each post has a thumbnail and that thumbnails are supported by the theme. However nothing is output by the call to get_the_post_thumbnail.
What am I doing wrong?

- Can ICU psychosis be dangerous?
Can ICU psychosis be prevented?
The primary goal is to correct any imbalance, restore the patient's health, and return the patient to normal activities as quickly as possible. To help prevent ICU psychosis, many critical care units are now:
- using more liberal visiting policies,
- providing periods for sleep,
- protecting the patient from unnecessary excitement,
- minimizing shift changes in the nursing staff caring for a patient, orienting the patient to the date and time,
- reviewing all medical procedures with an explanation about what to expect,
- asking the patient if there are any questions or concerns,
- talking with the family to obtain information regarding religious and cultural beliefs, and
- even coordinating the lighting with the normal day-night cycle, etc.
How long does ICU psychosis last?
ICU psychosis often vanishes magically with the coming of morning or the arrival of some sleep. However, it may last 24 hours or even up to two weeks with fluctuations of the level of consciousness and behavior patterns. Although it may linger through the day, agitation frequently is worst at night. (This phenomenon, called sundowning, is also common in nursing homes).
Fortunately, ICU psychosis usually resolves completely when the patient leaves the ICU.
How common is ICU psychosis?
Some estimate that one patient in every three who spends more than five days in an ICU experiences some form of psychotic reaction. As the number of intensive care units and the patient population in them grow, the number of individuals affected by this disorder will correspondingly increase. With patients being transferred out of the ICU more rapidly than in years past; ICU psychosis may be more common in other areas such as the regular medical floor of the hospital or sometimes may even occur after discharge from the hospital.

SPORTS >>Chicks right ship before Beebe game
Leader sportswriter
Both Beebe and Blytheville will be playing a very critical conference game for the respective teams this Friday when the Badgers travel north the face the Chickasaws in 5A-East action. Blytheville came away with its first conference win last week against Greene County Tech in a closely contested 19-14 final, while the Badgers suffered a tough loss at the hands of a quick and merciless Wynne team.
Each team sports an overall 4-2 record, but Beebe has the league advantage with a 2-1 record versus a 1-2 record for the Chickasaws. The first two conference matchups were offensive letdowns for Blytheville, but head coach Doug Quinn says he noticed a steady turnaround during last Fridays win against the Eagles.
We started out the year pretty consistent on offense, Quinn said. We had a little bit of a set back against Wynne and Nettleton, so we want to get back to doing what worked for us early on. I felt like the offense did better last week. The guys did what they had to do to pull out the win. We are headed back in the right direction, but were still not there yet.
Among notables this season offensively for the Chickasaws, is bruising fullback Melvin Brooks, who already has a staggering 1,000 yards of rushing through six games so far this season. Although Blytheville comes out of the wing-T set with a big back, the offense can also be a threat through the air. Junior QB Gabriel Osagie has two favorite targets in wide receiver Gerrett Howard and junior tight end O. J. Collins.
Like many other coaches in the conference, Quinn believes the first two playoff seeds are already spoken for. He does believe, however, that the fight for the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds has a potential to be a free-for-all. Four teams still have a very realistic shot at capturing a playoff berth at this point, and Quinn says the game with Beebe on Friday will be a crucial one for his team. He also knows that with the recent history between the two teams, a win will not come easy for either team.
Every game from this point on is a big one for us, Quinn said. And this one is the next in line. The last two years, the game has been decided by less than five points, and I dont see it getting any easier this year.
This is a good conference from top to bottom. Wynne and Batesville are in class by themselves, but after that, everyone else is on the same level of play. Friday is our homecoming, so we want to try and take advantage of that against Beebe.
Quinn also believes that the game will be determined on his teams ability to stop the Beebe spread. Cam Prock has developed a fine form of the spread, Quinn said. They have two quarterbacks who throw well, and one that can really scramble. Theyre young, but they have got some really talented players.
A win for the Badgers would put them in the drivers seat for clinching a playoff bid, but a loss could be devastating with powerhouse Batesville still left on the schedule, along with very solid Nettleton and GCT teams to face before the close of the conference season.

Even though the alarms at
As the NBN debate cranks up with the release of draft enabling legislation, Telstra is persisting with a reactive strategy rather than looking for ways to reinvent itself.
Former chairman
Both are long gone and Telstra has tacked to a course of conciliation. It has elected a new admiral (
It's also got four non-executive directors (out of eight) who weren't there when the McGauchie-Trujillo strategy was endorsed.
So why does Telstra suddenly look to be in even worse shape? The appointment to the board of Steve Vamos, Russell Higgins, John Mullen and John Stewart, plus the Livingstone-Thodey "warm-and-fuzzy" approach to dealing with the government, has given Telstra's public face a makeover, but has yet to produce a new vitality or acuity of vision.
Instead, it's a different version of the same old plod. The intense focus on all aspects of the NBN – ranging from the likelihood of
Business uncertainty and poor consumer confidence provided a cyclical component to Telstra's latest disappointing result, but economic recovery won't arrest the inexorable structural decay in its fat-margin, fixed-line telephony business.
It's not fixed lines per se that are dying, just copper wire ones that are being made obsolete by fibre-optic lines that can handle more traffic faster.
NBN Co boss Mike Quigley spoke at a recent conference about trends in data usage across fixed networks, and demand for higher speeds that has been rising since 1985.
Telstra "owns" the access rights, pipes and ducts that the NBN needs, as well as having more customers than the rest of the industry put together. But for some reason it continues to conduct its "complex" negotiations with the government in secret, leaving it vulnerable to the sort of continual sniping from Conroy that we saw this week with the NBN exposure draft.
Conroy and the government have the high moral ground of structural reform, but there's a large silent majority that probably aren't that unhappy with the status quo (although they would love Thodey to deliver on his promise to lift customer service).
Quigley says any suggestion that current network speeds will be sufficient in years to come would erroneously imply the 25-year demand trend is running out of steam.
Not likely. Internet search giant Google recently announced plans to build and test ultra-high-speed broadband networks that can deliver fibre-to-the-home speeds up to one gigabit a second in a small number of trial locations in the US at a "competitive" price.
That's 10 times faster than the 100-megabit speed targeted by the NBN and now represents the best-of-breed capability of Telstra and its competitors, but not one generally able to be used by customers.
Google, which seems to have as much spare cash lying around as Telstra has issues, is motivated by a desire to see what applications might be developed for such a network.
"In the same way that the transition from dial-up to broadband made possible the emergence of online VOIP [voice over IP] and video and countless other applications, we think that ultra-high-speed bandwidth will lead to many new innovations, including streaming high-definition video content, remote data storage, distance learning, real-time multimedia collaboration and others that we simply can't imagine yet," a Google executive blogged.
It seems to be working, with Cisco Systems this week reported to be developing an ultra-high-speed internet access system for unnamed carriers that don't want Google cutting their grass. They won't be the only ones.
The US Federal Communications Commission's national broadband strategy, due for release next month, may also address ultra-fast speeds. Kill or be killed.
On its own numbers, Telstra will generate free cash flow of some $6 billion this year, but is maintaining that "Trujillo target" while pulling back on others as it cuts back on capital and operating expenditure and paying less tax. It's not likely to be sustainable.
It has to fight harder to maintain and grow market share in mobiles, where an ever-increasing number of capped and unlimited mobile phone plans makes it easier for customers to move from fixed-line phones. Consequently, pressure on margins as cost gains are slowly passed to customers while fixed-line usage falls even faster than fixed-line customers (usage fell 13 per cent in the last half while line numbers shrank only 4 per cent).
Cost benefits from Telstra's transformation agenda are offsetting the impact for now, but those benefits can just as easily be lost as competition keeps biting into pricing.
Nomura Securities analyst Sachin Gupta, a trenchant critic, says Telstra's operating environment will remain challenging, and its revenues and earnings at risk "with or without fibre roll-out".
Telstra needs dynamic new growth platforms, and the market needs to see it looking for them. It's time for a fresh approach.

The Mark Clattenburg race row has taken a new twist after a Chelsea player reportedly revealed that one alleged victim of one of the alleged racist remarks heard nothing.
Chelsea have formally accused referee Clattenburg of using inappropriate language which could be interpreted as having a racist element - including calling Juan Mata "a Spanish t**t".
It was revealed today that Clattenburg is said to be appalled and angered by the accusations, and will vigorously deny them.
Oriol Romeu, the Spanish midfielder who was an unused Chelsea substitute for the game against Manchester United, has reportedly revealed that his countryman Mata did not hear the alleged insult.
Romeu said: "Neither Juan nor Fernando [Torres] told me they heard it because from what I have understood they didn't hear anything.
"It was someone else who heard it, but not directly at them. It was another player who heard it and that is what they told me.
"I didn't hear anything as I left quickly to go home but after talking to Juan he told me there was some problem and he had to stay.
"I only know Chelsea made a complaint and I think there could really be a problem if what Chelsea players say happened really happened.
"If there was really a racist comment or something said against a Spanish player this will be serious. We know in this country people are very vigilant about these issues."
Police launch investigation
Peter Herbert, one of the driving forces behind the proposed breakaway black players' union, sent a letter to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), which read: "The Society of Black Lawyers wishes to record the incident that took place at Chelsea FC.
"Our information is that racist remarks were directed at John Mikel Obi and at Juan Mata. If so, that is wholly unacceptable in any circumstances.
"Although this matter may be investigated by the FA, it is appropriate that the MPS independently see if a racially-aggravated offence has occurred."
The police said: "On the afternoon of 29 October, the Metropolitan Police received a complaint relating to the Chelsea v Man Utd match on 28 October.
"This is now being considered. Officers from Hammersmith & Fulham borough have been in contact with Chelsea Football Club today regarding the widely-reported club referral of the referee's behaviour to the Football Association.
"At this time, the Metropolitan Police has not received any complaint from either Chelsea Football Club or the Football Association.
"We will work in partnership with Chelsea Football Club and the Football Association in order to consider any allegation that is made in relation to the reported events."
The police probe came less than 24 hours after the FA launched its own investigation, which it must now decide whether to continue or postpone until after potential criminal proceedings are concluded.
The game's governing body came under fire for the way the John Terry case was allowed to drag out and will be desperate to avoid a similar saga with Clattenburg.
It is understood the referee had yet to be interviewed by the FA this morning but was ready to formally deny any wrongdoing having vowed to co-operate fully with any investigation.
He was said today to be shocked and angered at the allegations made against him and confident of clearing his name.

Three gypsy jazz musicians came to The World's studio to speak with host Lisa Mullins and demo their music
Three musicians came by our stories recently for a live performance.They play gypsy jazz, the kind played by the great Belgian gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, who would be 100 years old this year and French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli.
Jonathan Joubert plays a guitar copied after Django's own instrument.
Ben Powell is a classically trained violinist who discovered Stephane Grappelli in his teens and switched to jazz because of him.
On the day they came by they also brought along guitarist Jack Soref.
Together, they played a few tunes, including �Coquette,� a tune written by Django Reinhardt. Joubert and Powell are recording a new album,�Gypsy Times:Back to the Future� that will be released next year.

Original thread at XDA-Developers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1158763
Zen's Backtrack 5 For HD2 (and other) Android Smartphones
Packed - 640mb
Unpacked - 2.6gig (fits on 3.3 img now.)
V0.3 Download - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PFDJ5KRV
MD5sum (of .7z file) - 9a4796f0ed96e03579c2b4a684d026f5
Script pack contains
btgo - mounts BT5, and askes how you would like to start, CLI or VNC
bts - stops BT5, and unmounts everything for it.
btl - used to login to bt5 after it has been mounted, to avoid all those "resource busy" messages
mkcore - directory installation and swap file creation
What you need
Rooted Android Smartphone
Linux on PC
Busybox installed on your device
SDcard adapter or reader, if neccesary
Lets begin
There are 3 different ways you can do this:
1. Fresh install on EXT4 Sdcard partition ( I HIGHLY recommend this method if possible, much better, a bit faster (no double loops to write to)
2. Create Fresh .img
3. Replace old BT5 system .img
1. Fresh install on EXT4 Sdcard Partition
This portion of the guide is to install BT5 on a FRESH EXT4 partition on your SDcard. Throughout this porcess, you will:
Backup your current sdcard (EVERY PARTITION, this is why we use PC-linux and not windows)
Fully erase and repartition your SDcard
Replace Android system and user data
Install BT5 on third partition
prepare system for chroot and VNC connection
Boot into your Linux operating system. **I DO NOT recommend using virtualbox or vmware, as drivers for usb and SDcard connections arent direct, things can go wrong.**
Shutdown your phone, and remove your SDcard. Do not use adb, or any other tools to do this.
insert your SDcard into your computer (adapter or reader yada yada) and mount every partition.
Make careful note of what is on which partition. safest way to back everything up is through the command line with the command
Do this for each partition, whether you have 1, 2, 3, or more.Code:
sudo cp -Rfvp /media/your-sdcard-partition/* /where/your/backup/folder/is
In my case, my backup directory looks like this:
(ignore the empty directory sizes, my TRUE backup folder is MUCH more vulgar and i wont display it publicly, people may tear thier eyes out :P)Code:
[hookup-cellular@Hookup sdcard-backup]$ ls -l
total 12
drwxrwxr-x. 2 hookup-cellular hookup-cellular 4096 Sep 13 18:48 ext2
drwxrwxr-x. 2 hookup-cellular hookup-cellular 4096 Sep 13 18:48 ext4
drwxrwxr-x. 2 hookup-cellular hookup-cellular 4096 Sep 13 18:48 fat32
After everything is backed up, open your partition manager (in Gnome it is gparted, cant remember the name in others)
Navigate to your SDcard, and DELETE every partition. every one.
afterwards, recreate them using this strategy:
partition 1 - FAT32 size = total sdcard size minus ext2 and ext4 partition sizes
partition 2 - EXT2 size = 256mb, 512mb, 1gb, depending on how you like your apps2sd
partition 3 - EXT4 size = size you want for linux, minimum should be 4gb (mines at 10gb, i like my linux and got 3 different ones on it at the same time.)
When you are done, copy back your fat32 and ext2 stuff using the SAME COMMAND AS ABOVE (sudo cp -Rfvp from/here to/here)
Now, unzip/tar the .tar.gz package. I recommend extracting it to your pc before trying to put it on your sdcard.
Using the copy command above, put the extracted files onto your sdcard's EXT4 partition.
Double check the partition (navigate to it in nautilus or whatever filemanager your using) and ensure that it has the system copied over properly. You should see /boot /etc /root /sys so on and so forth, NOT just one folder with all of those inside of it.
Insert your SDcard, power on your phone, go to terminal emulator, and enter this:
Swap file is damn near neccessary if your planning on using any GUI tools (armitage, zenmap)Code:
cd /sdcard/scripts
sh mkcore
Your directory structure is now in place, swap file created, and you start BT5 by typing (from /sdcard/scripts OR /data/linux):
sh btgo
2. Fresh Image Creation
for this, we use the dd command and mkfs.ext4 command.
Change this command as needed, running it as is wont do anything good. Change the of= to where you want your img to be located.Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/where/you/want/the/img bs=1M count=3300
next is mkfs.ext4
select yes when it cautions about "not a block device"Code:
mkfs.ext4 /path/to/where/you/want/your/img
When this is finished, mount it using these commands:
now, extract the BT5 package to a place on your Computer. When finished, run this command:Code:
-your password-
mkdir -p /mnt/bt5img
mount -t ext4 /path/to/your/img /mnt/bt5img
changing parameters accordingly.Code:
sudo cp -Rfvp /path/to/bt5/core/* /mnt/bt5img/
After this, copy the .img to /sdcard/bt5 and run the start scripts from your terminal emulator.
3. Replace Existing Image
Mount your bt5 image, erase what is inside of it, and copy in the new system:
unmount your .img, place it on your sdcard, and your all set.Code:
-your password-
mkdir -p /mnt/bt5img
mount -t (your ext type) -o loop /path/to/your/bt5/img /mnt/bt5img
rm -Rfv /mnt/bt5img/*
cp -Rfvp path/to/bt5/core/* /mnt/bt5img/
Changes in v0.3
- Trimmed alot of fat, fits inside of 3.3 image now, though space is SEVERLY limited (removed CUPS and sound stuff, who needs to print from within thier phone anyways?)
- various small changes for performace improvements.
- a few new tools installed, but not tested
- restored my personal version that i nuked. It works now. :)

On Thursday, May 1, beginning at 6:30 p.m., Lake Park's Pastry Chef Hilary Cassel and Chef Allie Howard from Bacchus will present an amazing menu inspired by the tastes, sights and smells of spring.
Courses include salad with sliced plums, marinated asparagus, prosciutto and basil, bœuf poêlé with spring carrots and grilled ramps, fraises et rhubarbs with pistachio genois, whipped white chocolaté, strawberries and rhubarb, mascarpone ice cream with peach, coconut and French meringue, flourless chocolate cake with cremeaux, hazelnuts and chocolate mousse, and vanilla panna cotta with red and black currants, gelee and almonds.
Each course is expertly paired with an accompanying wine.
"Sometimes dessert is forgotten at the end of a meal," says Howard." This is a great opportunity for food lovers to experience the beauty and taste of desert without the guilt. Our hope is that everyone will fall in love with dessert all over again."
The dessert dinner is $65 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Call (414) 962-6300 to make reservations.

Spaghetti Bridge Built to Win
Contest Culminates Monthlong Engineering Course for High School Students
July 29, 2013
Garrett Struckhoff, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering and one of the instructors for Engineering Innovation, adds weight to a bridge during the Engineering Innovation Spaghetti Bridge Contest.
How much weight can a 9-ounce bridge made of uncooked pasta hold? Eighty-four pounds. That was the winning weight in the July 26 Spaghetti Bridge Contest, which culminated the four-week Engineering Innovation program for high school students. The four who designed and built the winning entry are Austin Au-Yeung of Walnut, Alex Hattori of Torrance, Nick Oune of Irvine and Hadi Zhang of Hacienda Heights.
Thirty-six students participated in the summer engineering course, a partnership between Cal State Fullerton and Johns Hopkins University. The course gave the young students real-world, hands-on experience and insight into engineering as a career. Thanks to a recent gift from the Raytheon Co., some local students also received scholarships to attend the campus program.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - George Osborne never had a hope of winning Tuesday's European Union fight on hedge fund regulation but the new British chancellor left his first international meeting saying he played a bad hand as well as he could.
A week into Britain's new coalition government, officials had already set the scene for defeat at the EU finance ministers' meeting in Brussels.
The discussions on tighter rules for hedge funds were already too far gone and there was little the new administration could do to prevent EU agreement, they said.
They were right. But Osborne, making his debut on the world stage, said he had managed to win a valuable concession from the meeting in that Britain's reservations were recognised in the EU statement thanks to "constructive" diplomacy over the last few days.
"I came with a challenging position bequeathed to me by the previous government," Osborne told reporters after the meeting, known as Ecofin. "I am very pleased the Council's minutes reflect the concerns I had."
At 38, Osborne is the youngest British chancellor in 120 years. After 13 years of a Labour government, he is also the first Conservative chancellor to visit Brussels since John Major's administration was locked in battle with the EU over its ban on British beef because of concerns about mad cow disease.
While many in his party remain Eurosceptic and bristle at any mention of Brussels, Osborne is clearly determined to dispel any notion that the new government will interact any less with the European Union -- Britain's biggest export market.
"It is very important for me to show today the Conservative government with the Liberal Democrats is going to engage actively," he said, noting he had several bilateral meetings and expected to build strong relations with other ministers.
It seems to be working. "I can say, although it may harm him, he was pro-European," said Polish Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski.
Aides made much of him of "arriving early and leaving late." Travelling with a small Treasury team, Osborne got into Brussels on Monday night and left only on Tuesday evening, having missed his afternoon train because of the meeting and news conference.
This was in contrast to former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who when chancellor between 1997 and 2007 was often criticised by EU colleagues for flying in at the last minute and leaving before lunch.
Osborne seems to be having a good time. "I very much enjoyed my first Ecofin," he told an unusually packed news conference. "There was quite a good moment when the Greek finance minister was explaining the importance of budget restraint."
Osborne is well aware that tough times may lie ahead and he noted his concern about the health of the European economy and that all countries deal with their fiscal problems.
"We were swimming with the tide on the broader issue of sovereign debt," he said. He also made it clear that Britain would not back proposals for a 6 percent increase in the European Union's budget.
"I put to Ecofin there should be a cash freeze in the budget," he said, adding that he had found several allies.
He is going to need as many as he can get in the months ahead as the bloc struggles with rebuilding its regulatory framework in the aftermath of the credit crunch.

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:26:35 -0400
I am trying to run svar on panel data, but I keep getting the r451 error once I run var or svar after setting the data tsset. I have 3 variables and the data is strongly balanced, except for missing year for a lag. As a remedy, I tried duplicates list id year, but I get Duplicates in terms of id year (0 observations are duplicates) message, so there doesn't seem to be a duplicates problem. I would appreciate any thoughts on what exactly the problem I am facing may be and how I may resolve it. Thank you. Sinan

Basic changes likely cure for Foster's hangover
Page Tools
Foster's wine clubs and services unit under notice.
Photo: Brendan Esposito
Neville Fielke, the man in charge of Foster's Group's $687 million wine clubs and services unit, says the troubled business remains part of his company's wine strategy for the time being.
Mr Fielke, appointed head of clubs and services in June, is expected to announce changes at the unit over the next two months.
"We tended to run those business quite discretely," he said.
Mr Fielke said duplication could be avoided between clubs, which runs Cellarmasters in Australia and several other direct-mail operations overseas, and services, which provides contract bottling and owns barrel-making facilities.
"I'm not going to comment too much on that other than to say we are taking a good hard look at all the fundamentals and we are prepared to break some of the old rules," he said.
Wine clubs and services, excluded from a recent review of the wine business, have been subject of speculation since Foster's chief Trevor O'Hoy hinted in August they might be sold unless they generated returns of 15 per cent within two years.
Services reported that earnings (before interest, tax and amortisation) fell 49.4 per cent this year to $17.8 million while clubs EBITA slipped 10 per cent to $44.3 million.
Mr Fielke said they were a good fit for Foster's wine business because they provided scale when it came to purchasing.
He said clubs' customer base allowed Foster's to see trends quickly and services allowed it to see emerging trends.
He admitted the unit had suffered from speculation it might join Lensworth and Australian Leisure & Hospitality Group as a non-core asset - "the private-equity guys that have been sniffing around hoping to pick up a good deal".
"This model lends itself well to private equity, there's no doubt about that, but also it lends itself to a global wine strategy. We have to then prove we can manage it and realise the benefits and that's probably the part where we've let ourselves down."

Two of the men were convicted for possession of false documents and were sentenced to two and four months in prison.
However they too were freed on the grounds that they had already spent months in custody.
Prosecutors had already ceased to press a charge of helping the enemy in time of conflict against all but two of them, downgrading it to "membership of a criminal organisation".
And the court had released four of the men
Two men were convicted on Thursday for possession of false documents, and were sentenced to two and four months in prison.
'War' controversy
The trial, which began last month, was being seen as a test of the Dutch justice system's ability to deal with suspected terrorists.
The 12 men, who come from nine countries, including Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Morocco, were arrested last year.
They were accused of recruiting volunteers for organisations such as the Afghan Taleban and Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, and funding their operations by selling drugs.
Experts disagreed whether the charge of helping the enemy in a time of conflict - not used since the aftermath of World War II - was applicable in the aftermath of the 11 September attacks.
Prosecutors said the Netherlands was involved in armed conflict because its soldiers were taking part in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
However, the court dismissed the charge, on the grounds that the troops sent to Afghanistan were peacekeepers, combat troops.
This is the second setback of its kind for Dutch prosecutors in the last six months.
They lost their first major terrorism case in December, when a court acquitted four suspects accused of plotting to attack the United States embassy in Paris .
Judges refused to accept evidence from the Dutch security service, the AIVD, because it refused to release classified information in court.
"Of course this is a disappointing verdict for us," said prosecution spokesman Bart Nieuwenhuis on Thursday.
A public prosecutor said his office would appeal against the verdict.

Cordless Drill / Screwdriver
Powerful and compact: Metabo cordless screwdrivers
Cordless screwdrivers from Metabo are easy to handle and powerful at the same time. Thanks to our rugged battery pack technology, they can be used on the construction site or in the workshop, independent from a power supply, any time and anywhere you need them. Just what you need in any situation.
Sophisticated and efficient - Cordless screwdrivers from Metabo
The Metabo cordless screwdriver range includes the handy PowerMaxx BS, which is the shortest drill/screwdriver on the market with a length of just 162 mm, as well as our extremely powerful 18 volt cordless screwdrivers. Models with Metabo "Quick" quick-change system let you change in an instant between bit retainer, drill chuck and quick change screw-type angle attachment. The latter makes working in particularly hard to reach spaces and in corners easier. Bits can be inserted directly into the magnetized quarter inch female hexagon socket on the spindle. The compact cordless screwdrivers are even shorter and easier to handle without a drill chuck.
Our LTX machines are equipped with a Metabo motor with high overload capacity, and impress with the best possible torque, even during difficult screwing applications. Metabo models with brushless motors deliver especially high speeds with equally impressive power. Numerous intelligent functions, like electronic torque control for precise, flush screwing, the pulse function, or quick changes between maximum power and pre-set speeds, make brushless cordless drills a top choice for efficiency, precision, and working comfort.
Cordless screwdrivers depend on powerful battery packs
For the battery pack systems on our cordless drill/screwdrivers, we rely on our patented Ultra-M technology: The intensive electronic communication between all components, and the finely balanced interplay of motor, gear, intelligent battery management, and process-controlled charging and discharging management translates into maximum performance, reliability and service life for the user.

This was the scene during my commute this morning at Lemmon Avenue and Inwood Road, where they've begun tearing down the building that housed Sigel's store No. 7 since the mid-1950s. The media has devoted a lot of attention to the fate of the Sigel's sign that stood on this corner, but personally I'm more worried about not being able to cut through the shopping center on my way home to avoid the backup at the intersection. The Sigel's store reportedly will be replaced by a bank.

text: William J. WayThank you, Steve. Good morning, everyone. In the Fayetteville Shale, we placed 131 operated wells on production in the second quarter resulting in net production of 121 Bcf, which is up from 116 Bcf in the first quarter and 107 Bcf a year ago, which was a new quarterly record for us. Our operated horizontal wells had an average initial production rate of 3.5 million cubic feet of gas per day, up from 3.3 million cubic feet of gas per day in the first quarter, an average completed well cost of $2.8 million per well and an average drilling time of 6.9 days during the quarter, which is the fastest quarterly drill time in the history of the play. We also placed 30 wells on production during the quarter that were drilled in 5 days or less. As you may recall, we've optimized our portfolio in the Fayetteville and are targeting the highest return wells in the field. Going forward, we expect to see our average production on a per well basis improve over the next few quarters. On the Midstream side, our gas gathering business in the Fayetteville Shale continues its strong performance, and at June 30, was gathering approximately 2.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day through 1,829 miles of gathering lines compared to gathering approximately 2 billion cubic feet a day a year ago. Lately, our production in the Fayetteville has been affected by recent extremely high temperatures in Central Arkansas, and year-to-date, we estimate that production from the field has been impacted by 0.5 to 1 Bcf due to the extreme heat. However, since June 30, our gross production rate has returned to approximately 2 Bcf per day. However, we are still managing the impact of extreme heat on our compressors and dehydration facilities.

Handy earns Big Eight honor
By SCOTT CAIN Tribune Sports Editor
Missouri quarterback Jeff Handy assessed his performance in Saturday's 31-3 victory over Illinois as "all right."
Adequate – being defined as completing 20 of 30 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions - today landed Handy the Big Eight Offensive Player of the Week honors.
He won the award last year after passing for 480 yards against Oklahoma State.
In beating Illinois Handy passed for more than 200 yards for the ninth time in his career. A junior, Handy has started only seven games.
"Jeff was almost flawless in his execution," coach Bob Stull said today.
Handy said on Saturday: "Great job by the offensive linemen. The wide receivers, every one of them made a great play.
"I felt like I was alright."

Barley, Shiitake, and Spinach Pilaf
Recipe by Aunt Cookie
I found this in a very old Vegetarian Times magazine. I really like barley, but most barley recipes are for soup. I think this is a nice departure.
Top Review by littleturtle
I opted for the stock over the water (beef - we're somewhat carniverous). Lil sis liked this quite a bit, but DH had a very hard time deciding whether or not he cared for it at all. I had a hard time deciding on this one too, but weirdly enough I was pretty sure if I liked it at all, I liked it quite a bit. Thanks for posting. We'll probably try this again, hopefully when we're not all in such a weird and indecisive mood.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 3 cups water or 3 cups stock
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups spinach leaves, loosely packed
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne, to taste
Directions See How It's Made
- Add the barley and water to a medium saucepan. Cover and simmer over low heat for approximately 1 hour.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add both types of oil and saute the onions, stirring occasionally, until brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add garlic and mushrooms; saute for approximately 3 minutes.
- Add spinach, cooked barley, and sesame seeds; saute for 5 minutes, or until barley is heated through.
- Season with tamari and cayenne.

Pakistan to host IPL style domestic Twenty20 tournament
The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced plans to host an IPL-style domestic Twenty20 tournament in the hope that the event can revive international cricket in the country.
There has been no top-class international cricket in Pakistan since Islamist militants attacked the Sri Lankan team in March 2009, killing eight Pakistanis and wounding seven visiting players. Since the attacks, Pakistan have played all their "home" matches in England or the United Arab Emirates.
The first Pakistan Super Twenty20 tournament is scheduled to begin on March 24 in Lahore. There are likely to be five city-based franchises.
Unveiling the logo for the tournament, Haroon Lorgat, the former chief executive of the International Cricket Council, said: "With the rising popularity of Twenty20 cricket, every ICC member country has…

If the sale to Wesfarmers goes ahead, it will be the latest deal in an emerging trend of joint ventures between retail giants
Amcor has had its site listed with Colliers International since 2009. Local and offshore developers have shown interest, but it has remained unsold and Amcor vacated the site in December last year.
Earlier this year, Amcor applied for a change in planning controls for the site, stating the existing rules were inflexible and deterred buyers.
A $120 million deal with
Sources close to the sale have confirmed Wesfarmers has backed Alpha Partners' move on the site. Wesfarmers had not responded to The Australian Financial Review by deadline.
Alpha Partners managing director
Mr Nelson said the Alphington site was a prime urban renewal opportunity, though it needed considerable rehabilitation of the land.
Speculation on how much the site could sell for has varied from $70 million to more than $150 million.
A pretty powerful trend
"It's a pretty powerful trend," he said.
In North Melbourne, Woolworths will build a $110 million project, which will include more than 300 apartments, a supermarket, retail and office space .
Woolworths is now seeking to sign on a residential developer.
After winning a battle against local residents and council, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ruled the project would provide renewal on a well-serviced, yet under-used, parcel of inner-city land.
He said a push for joint ventures had come from steep CBD land prices, largely driven by Asian developers, combined with demand for inner-suburb town houses and apartments.
"For high density developments, developers become more like 'project managers', acting on behalf of institutional groups," he said.

Broomes, who was released by Stoke boss Tony Pulis at the end of last season, has agreed an initial one-year contract at Bloomfield Road and will complete his free transfer move on July 1.
"I'm delighted to sign the contract," Broomes told BBC Radio Lancashire. "I'm a versatile player and can play in various positions and am comfortable on the ball. Hopefully I can be a good addition to the squad."
Broomes, who has also played for Blackburn and Preston, has failed to make a first-team appearance for more than two years because of injury but was never worried that it might affect his chances of a move.
He added: "The injuries I had were two years ago so all this season I've been fit and playing reserve games. I know Simon Grayson has watched me several times, so they've seen that I've been performing well.
"My first season I did well. I played over 40 games, but then the manager left and after Tony Pulis came in I was out for a whole year with the injury.
"I never really got an opportunity after that because he brought his own players in. But that's football. You have your ups and downs and I'm delighted to be a Blackpool player now."

NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch North Series Post-Race Notes
Toyota All-Star Showdown, Irwindale Speedway, Irwindale, Calif., Sat., Nov. 13
NASCAR's scoring review of the Grand National Division at the Toyota All-Star Showdown produced several changes in the top ten positions when the official results were posted on Monday. Tim Woods III of the West Series was penalized 45 seconds for failure to reduce speed during a caution period, dropping him from 5th to 13th in the official results. The other changes, which moved Mike Duncan of the West Series ahead of Bobby Dragon and placed Mike Olsen behind Kelly Moore, reflected positions on the track at the finish and did not involve penalties. The official finish for the NASCAR Grand National Division, Toyota All-Star Showdown appears at the end of these notes.
* * *
During the 2000 Busch North Series season, Mike Johnson and Martin Truex Jr, dueled all summer long for the rookie title. Both ended their freshman season with a race win and a Busch Pole, with Johnson edging Truex for the first-year honors.
On November 13, 2004, both Johnson and Truex achieved their greatest success so far, as Johnson won the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale Speedway in southern California while Truex clinched the NASCAR Busch Series championship at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina.
Congratulations are in order to Mike and Albert Johnson, Jason Janvrin, and everyone at Johnson Racing as well as Martin Truex Jr., Kevin 'Bono' Manion, and the staff at Dale Earnhardt Inc.
* * *
It was a big improvement over the inaugural Toyota All-Star Showdown for both Johnson and runner-up Matt Kobyluck. Last year Johnson left with a wrecked car and 27th place money after an accident on lap 71, while Kobyluck was 12th.
* * *
While Johnson and Kobyluck were at the head of the class on Saturday night when the money was on the line, both had a dismal qualifying night on Friday. Johnson, who had been third fastest in Thursday practice behind David Gilliland of the West Series and Ryan Moore, could do not better than 12th, while Kobyluck, who halted Thursday's second session by coating the track with rear-end lubricant, finished just behind. They would advance to seventh (Kobyluck) and eighth (Johnson) during the first 100 laps. The draw of an eight-place inversion gave them the front row for the final 50 laps. Kobyluck won the POWERade Power Move of the Race Award (26th to second) by one place over Johnson (24th to first).
* * *
Joey McCarthy made no secret of his desire to improve on 2003, when he led all 100 laps of the first segment but finished sixth in the final results. This time he was the biggest mover of all in the closing laps. He spun in turn one with less than 15 laps to go while running sixth but came all the way back to get third. McCarthy's car for the Showdown, first as the STI Motorsports #8 and later as the Trim Spa #64, ran 12 of the 13 regular season races, missing only Dover.
* * *
Bobby Dragon's fifth place in the Showdown, following a fifth in his qualifying race, came in the first race west of Indianapolis in his 40-year career. It was also a major success for Mark Willoughby's Waste Management/BG Environmental team, which ran the full Busch North Series schedule for the first time in 2004.
* * *
Dale Quarterley was a prime pick for victory after his Busch North regular season-ending win at Dover and his strong second in the West Series finale at Irwindale two weeks ago. He battled West Series driver Brett Thompson side-by-side for second in his qualifying race, losing by half a car length. Then the problems began. Metal found in the oil filter meant an engine change, which of course meant dropping to the tail of the field on the pace lap.
Racing in heavy traffic on the second lap he spun without drawing a caution but was lapped by leader David Gilliland on the 20th circuit. The rest of the first segment was a series of pit stops and attempts to regain the lead lap on restarts, without success. The final segment began with lapped cars behind everyone remaining on the lead lap, so Quarterley was effectively resigned to one-lap down status. The heavy attrition up front helped him finish 10th.

Mechanical disaster slapped two of the Busch North Series' best teams within minutes of the start. Mike Stefanik slowed and pitted after just seven laps. Then, incredibly, odds-on favorite Andy Santerre dropped from the lead after 13 circuits. Both pulled directly behind pit wall with the same failure- the rear end gears. Santerre had not failed to finish a race since his return to full-time Busch North action in 2002.
Friday night Santerre won his qualifying race from the 15th and final spot in the lineup, taking 25 laps to advance from worst to first. Last year he accomplished the same feat in 18 laps before taking second to Austin Cameron in the Showdown.
* * *
Santerre will attempt to qualify for this Saturday's NASCAR Busch Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the MacDonald Motorsports Chevrolet #71. By the way, that's the MacDonald family from Canada, not the Busch North MacDonalds from Massachusetts. Santerre's last Busch Series start was at NHIS in 2002 where he finished 38th.

DAY TWENTY-TWO - The Cavaliers have yet to lose a game in this postseason and they march into Jersey looking for a 3-0 lead against the Nets. Meanwhile the marquee matchup out west with the Spurs and Suns switches scene to San Antonio tied up 1-1.
Cavaliers at Nets, 3:30 PM, ESPN
Winner: Cavaliers
Thoughts: A part of me would like to say the Nets are going to win this game. After two relatively close games and now heading home, you would think the Nets could pull one out, but honestly, the Cavs are really good. I didn't think we'd see it this soon, but Cleveland is performing consistently, not just playing well, but consistently. And in a trend seen in a few other series, size is making a difference. Cleveland averaging 50 rebounds through the first two games to Jersey's 34 and in game two the Cavs ripped down 16 offensive boards. The Cavs bigs are making the difference down low and the front court for Jersey is doing little to either rebound or control the lane defensively. And until the Nets can get some support from their front court, they will keep losing. Cavs win.
Suns at Spurs, 8:00 PM, ABC
Winner: Spurs
Thoughts: After the Spurs took game one, we all knew the Suns had to hold for at least one game on their own floor - and so they did. The Suns surged back in game two to rally for a twenty point win behind Nash's 20 points and 16 assists. The defense for the Suns, particularly on Tony Parker, was much improved and it showed as they held the Spurs to just 81 points. Meanwhile San Antonio's defense seemed to be lacking its usual intensity. The Spurs, however, aren't a team that usually falters two games in a row, especially defensively. Tim Duncan has remained on track and I expect Parker to realign himself as well. Phoenix has to steal one in San Antonio eventually, but considering they haven't won there all year, I don't think it will be tonight. Spurs win.

text: I just received a new Yugoslavian SKS ftom J&G Sales and man is it a beauty! It is brand new, no marks of any kind it even came in a matching serial numbered box. It has a ligh coat of oil on it, it seems to thin to be cosmoline. Normally I would just use mineral spirits on it, but the wood and metal is so nice I want to make sure I don't darken the wood or stain the metal. Any advice would be appreciated. One guy suggested acetone as it dries quickly, but that seems harsh to me.

Surface-Water-Quality Assessment of the Yakima River Basin, Washington: Overview of Major Findings
By Jennifer L. Morace, Gregory J. Fuhrer, Joseph F. Rinella, Stuart W. McKenzie, and Others
USGS Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4113, 119 pages, 35 figures, 32 tables
Report availability
Surface-water-quality conditions were assessed in the Yakima River Basin, which drains 6,155 square miles of mostly forested, range, and agricultural land in Washington. The Yakima River Basin is one of the most intensively farmed and irrigated areas in the United States, and is often referred to as the "Nation's Fruitbowl." Natural and anthropogenic sources of contaminants and flow regulation control water-quality conditions throughout the basin. This report summarizes the spatial and temporal distribution, sources, and implications of the dissolved oxygen, water tem- perature, pH, suspended sediment, nutrient, organic compound (pesticide), trace element, fecal indicator bacteria, radionuclide, and aquatic ecology data collected during the 1987-91 water years.
The Yakima River descends from a water surface altitude of 2,449 feet at the foot of Keechelus Dam to 340 feet at its mouth downstream from Horn Rapids Dam near Richland. The basin can be divided into three distinct river reaches on the basis of its physical characteristics. The upper reach, which drains the Kittitas Valley, has a high gradient, with an average streambed slope of 14 feet per mile (ft/mi) over the 74 miles from the foot of Keechelus Dam (river mile [RM] 214.5) to just upstream from Umtanum. The middle reach, which drains the Mid Valley, extends a distance of 33 miles from Umtanum (RM 140.4) to just upstream from Union Gap and also has a high gradient, with an average streambed slope of 11 ft/mi. The lower reach of the Yakima River drains the Lower Valley and has an average streambed slope of 7 ft/mi over the 107 miles from Union Gap (RM 107.2) to the mouth of the Yakima River.
These reaches exhibited differences in water-quality conditions related to the differences in geologic sources of contaminants and land use. Compared with the rest of the basin, the Kittitas Valley and headwaters of the Naches River Subbasin had relatively low concentrations and loads of suspended sediment, nutrients, organic compounds, and fecal indicator bacteria. There were very few failures to meet the Washington State dissolved oxygen standard or exceedances of the water temperature and pH standards in this reach. In general, these areas are considered to be areas of less-degraded water quality in the basin. The pre-Tertiary metamorphic and intrusive rocks of the Cle Elum and Teanaway River Subbasins, however, were found to be significant geologic sources of antimony, arsenic, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, selenium, and zinc. As a result, the arsenic, chromium, and nickel concentrations measured in the streambed sediment of the Kittitas Valley were 13 to 74 times higher than those measured in the Lower Valley.
The Mid and Lower Valleys had similar water-quality conditions, governed by the intensive agricultural and irrigation activities, highly erosive landscapes, and flow regulation. Most of the failures to meet the Washington State standards for dissolved oxygen and exceedances of the standards for water temperature and pH occurred in the Mid and Lower Valleys. Agricultural drains in the Mid and Lower Valleys were found to be significant sources of nutrients, suspended sediment, pesticides, and fecal indicator bacteria. Downstream from the irrigation diversions near Union Gap, summertime streamflow in the Yakima River was drastically reduced to only a few hundred cubic feet per second. In the lower Yakima River, agricultural return flow typically accounts for as much as 80 percent of the main stem summertime flow near the downstream terminus of the basin. Therefore, the water-quality characteristics of the lower Yakima River resemble those of the agricultural drains. The highest fecal bacteria concentrations (35,000 colonies of Escherichia coli per 100 milliliters of water) were measured in the Granger/ Sunnyside area, the location of most of the livestock in the basin. The east side area of the Lower Valley (area east of the Yakima River) was the predominant source area for suspended sediment and pesticides in the basin. This area had the largest acreage of irrigated land and generally received the largest application of pesticides. Owing to the highly erosive soils of the area, the suspended sediment load from the east side in June 1989 (320 kilograms per day) was five or more times larger than from any other area, and the loads of several of the more hydrophobic organic compounds were four or more times larger.
An ecological assessment of the Yakima River Basin ranked physical, chemical, and biological conditions at impaired (degraded) sites against reference sites in an effort to understand how land use changes physical and chemical site characteristics and how biota respond to these changes. For this assessment, the basin was divided into four natural ecological categories: (1) Cascades ecoregion, (2) Eastern Cascades Slopes and Foothills ecoregion, (3) Columbia Basin ecoregion, and (4) large rivers. Each of these categories has a unique combination of climate and landscape features that produces a distinctive terrestrial vegetation assemblage.
In the combined Cascades and Eastern Cascades site group, which had the fewest impaired sites, the metals index was the only physical and chemical index that indicated any impairment. The moderate levels of impairment noted in the invertebrate and algal communities were not, however, associated with metals, and may have been related to the effects of logging, although the intensity of logging was not directly quantified in this study. Sites in the Columbia Basin site group were all moderately or severely impaired with the exception of the two reference sites (Umtanum Creek and Satus Creek below Dry Creek), which showed no physical, chemical, or biological impairment. Three sites were heavily affected by agriculture (Granger Drain, Moxee Drain, and Spring Creek) and were listed as severely impaired by most of the physical, chemical, and biological condition indices. Agriculture was the primary cause of the impairment of biological communities in this site group. The primary physical and chemical indicators of agricultural effects were nutrients, pesticides, dissolved solids, and substrate embeddedness, which all tended to increase with agricultural intensity. The biological effects of agriculture were manifested by a decrease in the abundance and number of native species of fish and invertebrates, a shift in algal communities to species indicative of eutrophic conditions, and higher abundances. There was also an increase in the abundance and number of nonnative fish species due to the prevalence of fish that are largely tolerant of nutrient-rich conditions. Main stem (large river) sites downstream from the city of Yakima exhibited severe impairment of fish communities associated with high levels of pesticides in fish tissues and the presence of external anomalies on fish.

Today in The Journal News and at LoHud.com, there's a story recapping last night's Dodgers-Phillies game complete with the two sides throwing way inside and Manny erupting during the bench-clearing incident. Shane Victorino thinks it's over, but stay tuned tonight. L.A. needs to win to make it even at 2-2, and Joe Torre is bringing back free agent-to-be Derek Lowe (future Met or Yankee?) on three days' rest.
Our Mets-related story involves Donovan Mitchell, manager of the Single-A Savannah Sand Gnats, giving back to the game, leading a kids clinic last weekend in Briarcliff and about to give another this weekend to try to prepare high school players for what the college coaches and pro scouts want.
In the Arizona Fall League, the Peoria Saguaros — the team with some Mets' personnel — are up to 5-0. Shane Bowman, the Double-AA Binghamton third baseman trying to put some significant back issues behind him, is off to a great start — .545 (6 for 11) in three games, with two doubles, two homers, five RBI and five runs scored. And Eddie Kunz has now finished all three games in which he has appeared, tossing three scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while fanning four.
