The Fitbit Aria Scale tracks weight, body fat and BMI. It's also pretty cool how it smiles at you too. As a gadget head, there's really no way I could go through life without one of these. If you use a One, Ultra or Flex, this data gets synchronized to the same Fitbit account you use for other things as well. The scale can also be used by multiple people in a household, with each persons weight getting synchronized to their own account at Fitbit.
The Aria comes with batteries. But don't put them in before installing the app. To set the device up, first install the Fitbit Wi-Fi Scale Setup application, located at the getting started page for the Aria: http://www.fitbit.com/setup/aria. Once downloaded, open the app. At the "Ready to connect your scale?" screen, click Get Started.
Sign up for a free account screen, click Log in to your account if you already have an account; otherwise provide details so a new account can be created for you and then click Sign up.
At the Personal Info screen, enter your height, weight, birthday and a time zone and click on the Next button.
At the Question screen, select Yes if the wireless network is listed properly; otherwise click No and select the correct network.
Next, place the batteries in the Aria and it will turn on automatically. Click Connect when the scale comes up and it will get joined to the wireless network. Now, this is a little tricky sometimes as the scale might go ahead and join the network and the app is likely never to notice. So at this point, once the scale restarts, stand on it and see if it can upload to your account. If it does, you're done. If it doesn't, try the wizard again (force quit, re-run).
Once installed, log into your Fitbit dashboard and locate the Weight tile. This will show the historical rating for weight, Lean vs Fat and BMI over time. Good for number nerding, working towards goals, etc.

I've done a few articles over the years on customizing the team server in OS X Server. This is one of those places where Lion really changes things. Once upon a time you could just swap out the graphics and have a fairly custom-looking wiki or implementation.
In Lion, Apple has really simplified and stripped down the Lion elements in the interface for the server. There is less Apple branding and more functionality than ever. Gone is the time Apple spent building templates, but in the place of all those templates is a much more integrated and functional collaboration server. Added are features dedicated to navigation (e.g. the ribbon was borrowed from MobileMe) document management and writing personal wiki articles. Added is a more seamless integration with podcasts and better ways to find content that is pertinent to you. Also added is a sidebar that allows you to insert blocks, similar to widgets in WordPress, but far less useable (for now).
You can still customize the graphics. They are now stored in /usr/share/collabd/coreclient/public/stylesheets/cc/img. You can also add your own banner or edit the look and feel in the css files stored in the /usr/share/collabd/coreclient/public/stylesheets/cc. For example, editing the core.css file to change the color (not background-color) setting in the body section will change the color of the text (use my color chart to pick a new color if you'd like). Also in the core.css file is the background color for the unused space, located in the background-color setting of the main section. The blue title bar for wikis can also be customized to include a background image or just change the color. For example, use the banner.css file to add the background-color field into the banner section with #FFFFFF to set that to white.
As usual, be careful when customizing Apple's services. Personally, I find that whenever I customize their settings, I end up making them look worse. Apple is known for design. If you're looking at my web site, you've likely noticed that I am not. If you decide to walk down this path though, I have a good tip. Use a browser plugin for Firefox to help you. You can make changes on the fly, see what works and what doesn't and gradually change settings until you find a look and feel you can live with. I like Edit CSS, but as with many of these kinds of things, it's just preference – search for CSS in the Firefox add-ons for one that you find that you like better.

Microsoft released Service Pack 2 to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac earlier this week. Once you have installed Service Pack 2 you may notice the new Open from Document Connection File menu item for office applications, or you may notice the new application called Microsoft Document Connection located in your /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008 folder. These are all part of Microsoft's overall Software+Services strategy: provide a cloud type of environment that is able to sustain the software that you purchase from them. In this case it could be a private document storage "cloud" running on a SharePoint server or it could be a more public environment running in the Office Live environment.
We'll cover SharePoint integration some other time, but for now, let's look at the Live environment. Before you setup your computer, first login to your Microsoft Live account at home.live.com. Once you are signed in, click on the More menu and click on Office Live. If you see a button for Get Started for Free, click it; otherwise you should be looking at a screen with an icon in the left column for New Workspace. Click it and then type something that indicates a project or a group of documents you might upload. For example, I'll just type Mac OS X Security 2nd Edition.
Now that you have a workspace, open up the Microsoft Document Connection application in your Office directory. From here, click on Add Location… and then click on Sign In to an Office Live Workspace… At the dialog box, enter the name and password you use to log into Microsoft Live, clicking Save when you're done. Now you should see the name of your live account in the Document Connection screen, along with any workspaces you've created. You can drag documents into this screen, double-click them to open or control-click them to edit (and you can edit from non-Microsoft applications). At this point you have something similar to Jungle Disk or another application you use to access a cloud service from a Mac.
But Document Connection isn't just about one user accessing documents. It supports sharing documents between users, commenting on documents and even document check-in and check-out. The portal is where you setup most of the Sharing: use the share button, type the address of who you want to share to, they can then access via the portal or using Document Connection with their own account. Commenting is also available in the portal, much as with a solution like Final Cut Server. Document check-in and check-out seems to require SharePoint and not be a feature of Office Live, but I'll let you know if I can find a way to do it.
Overall, this is a great addition. Some other products are more mature, but as usual, Microsoft has taken the best from a number of competitors and made an extremely simple to use and intuitive sandbox. The uploads and downloads fail at times. The portal relies on constant communication from Silverlight so sometimes it throws an error. But those are minor issues. This is a great new product that I look forward to integrating into a number of environments. I'll get to the SharePoint side in the next few days and do a write-up on it as well!

Neil Abercrombie on Crime
Democratic Governor; previously Representative (HI-1)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. JOHN CONYERS (D, MI-14):This bill expands existing Federal hate crimes law to groups who are well-known targets for bias-based violence--they are sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability. These crimes of violence are directed not just at those who are directly attacked; they are targeting the entire group with the threat of violence.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. LAMAR SMITH (R, TX-21): Every year thousands of violent crimes are committed out of hate, but just as many violent crimes, if not more, are motivated by something other than hate--greed, jealousy, desperation or revenge, just to name a few. An individual's motivation for committing a violent crime is usually complex and often speculative. Every violent crime is deplorable, regardless of its motivation. That's why all violent crimes should be vigorously prosecuted. Unfortunately, this bill undermines one of the most basic principles of our criminal justice system--equal justice for all. Under this bill, justice will no longer be equal. Justice will now depend on the race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other protected status of the victim. It will allow different penalties to be imposed for the same crime. This is the real injustice.
CURE (Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants) is a membership organization of families of prisoners, prisoners, former prisoners and other concerned citizens. CURE's two goals are
To place a moratorium on executions by the Federal Government and urge the States to do the same, while a National Commission on the Death Penalty reviews the fairness of the imposition of the death penalty .S.486 & H.R.912:
To reduce the risk that innocent persons may be executed [by examining DNA evidence more thoroughly].
Title: To provide Federal assistance to States and local jurisdictions to prosecute hate crimes.
Summary: Provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or other assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any violent crime that is motivated by prejudice based on the race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability of the victim or is a violation of hate crime laws.
Title: To reduce the risk that innocent persons may be executed.

- Biography
In 2001 I started my first website with information about a certain topic.
I like writing ideas down, then structure it in a logical sequence and publish it as a website to share this information with others.
I am not a specialist in one niche, but have a broad interest in many topics. And if I got interested in a new topic, then I visit different resources to learn more and start making notes. And with help of these notes I again try to make a structured 'story' and if I think I can contribute 'my interpretation' to a width audience, I will publish it again.
It's an on going process and a kind of hobby too. I like to design websites, being creative was always one of my hobbies, in such way that people will like them. Not just for the look and feel, but especially for the content. To combine these two important factors (content and usability) demands some skills. Therefore I visit many areas on the web, like here, to learn as much as possible.
I live in The Netherlands, work at an airline company as an ICT Consultant for our company's Intra- and Extra nets.

The Macroeconomic Impacts of a Foot-and-mouth Disease Outbreak: An Information Paper for Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
Prepared by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Treasury
Page updated Feb 2003
This note was written in September 2002 as part of a wider government exercise in emergency preparedness. In considering the fiscal scenario and forecast for effects of an outbreak, some assumptions were made for the purpose of simplicity. One key assumption was that there is no government response to rectify the negative fiscal impact of any Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak. This assumption obviously has an effect on the results produced when projecting out over a longer time period.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand undertook macro-economic analysis. Treasury's [Estimates of Revenue Effects of Small Tax Rate & Tax Base Changes] and Long Term Fiscal Model was used to generate a fiscal scenario. Treasury's models are designed for general, day to day, scenario analysis and reflect the technical assumptions and economic data used.

Megaupload users are crying foul after their personal files, not necessarily copyright-infringing material, stored with the file-sharing service was seized on Thursday along with a trove of illegally distributed copyrighted works.
Some of those users took to Twitter complaining about the loss of their files, as first reported by TorrentFreak. "I had files up there...gone forever..and they were personal recordings! No copyright infringement!" said Twitter user J. Amir. Another user complained that her work files were now gone, and others used more colorful language to describe their predicament.

Unity or Purity ?
The leavening of America, God's churches, the family and society has been underway for decades. In a sense, the leavening process has always been around as Satan has constantly tried to dilute and weaken the people of God and their influence in the world. Paul said in 1 Corinthians " Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? " The nature of leaven (yeast) is to permeate and spread throughout the entire lump of dough, causing it to rise. It only takes a small amount to change the entire lump.
What disturbs me does not always disturb others. In this fast paced age of change, I am disturbed by the shift in attitude and philosophy of the average person. I am increasingly finding myself in the minority on issues of Bible doctrine, politics, and ethics, Yet I have not changed. I stand today where I stood 40 years ago when surrendering to God's call to preach and teach His Word. I see the danger in a little leaven. The depraved nature of humanity leans towards sin and the path of least resistance and will exploit every inch given, hence the saying, "Give him an inch and he will take a mile" is an absolute. Maintaining purity requires effort.
In the religious, political , and cultural battles of today, purity has taken a beating. However, purity is essential . Consider the following : when given a choice, would you rather drink pure water or filthy water ? Would you prefer a virgin for a spouse or a promiscuous person ? Would you choose dirty clothes over clean clothes for your body? Would you rather have a clean politician ( an oxymoron, but bear with me) or a person of character as your representative?
Any sane person would choose purity in these situations. But when the choice of purity may result in conflict, stress, and division, people will choose unity over purity 95% of the time.
Look first at purity in the local church. Concerning immorality in a church , it will usually be tolerated, especially when the other option is conflict through confrontation. It is not easy to confront sin and require purity from ungodly church members who may also be family members, or influential in the community or big givers in the offering plate.
Yet, the small amount of leaven will spread throughout the lump, affecting the whole .
When we are more concerned with the smile of man, then we will have the frown of God , and when purity goes out the window for the sake of unity, then God's churches lose the power and blessing of God.
Consider purity in church doctrine. Baptism and the Lord's table have taken a beating with pastors and churches caving in to the plea of unity rather than purity in the practicing of these ordinances. Only a Scriptural New Testament church of the Lord Jesus has the authority to baptize new believers and administer the Lord's table to those who have prepared themselves through scriptural baptism and church membership. Paul said to refrain from eating with those who had not examined themselves, especially concerning immorality ( 1 Cor. 5:11 ). These ordinances belong to the Lord, no the church, but He has given their care and stewardship to each local church for proper administration for His glorification. Rather than stand for purity and cause contention, many are satisfied to sacrifice purity for unity, forgetting that unity with God through purity is primary. When a church adopts a human driven philosophy, their main priority will to please men and not God. Here is a novel idea : How about a God driven , Spirit sensitive church. It just might work.
When pastors and churches refuse to cooperate with others who are not of like faith , they are accused of being hateful and having no love for the brethren. Loving the brethren is not the issue; purity is the issue. Besides, we are commanded to Love God before we are commanded to love others and maintaining purity is loving God. We are never commanded to fellowship with those who show contempt for God by disobeying His Word
Consider purity in society. Homosexuality and immorality have become more and more accepted through gradual exposure. To address someone's immoral sexual lifestyle is considered an attack on the individual. Homosexuality and immorality are both destructive to all who participate, ruining self esteem and respect, destroying families, and can end in death from disease. To warn of self destruction and promote sexual purity honors God and helps people experience full and more satisfying lives. Sexual immorality affects everyone in society as a whole through broken homes, wounded children and adults, and increased financial costs, resulting from choices that damage health.
May God give us the resolve to stand and be more concerned about maintaining unity with God as we preach and practice purity in a culture that has an ever growing contempt for truth.

Posted: 3:31 PM- The Jazz and guard Deron Williams have agreed to a contract extension, according to Williams' agent, Bob McClaren.
According to sources, the extension is for three years with a fourth-year option and will pay Williams the maximum allowed by the NBA's collective bargaining agreement. The earliest Williams would become a free agent would be the summer of 2012.
The exact value of Williams' extension won't be determined under the NBA sets its salary cap next July. But Williams will earn approximately $50 million the first three years and as much as $70 million if he exercises the option.
The Jazz are expected to hold a Friday afternoon news conference to announce the extension.
"I know everybody has worked very, very hard toward reaching an agreement," McClaren said. "It'll be fun to talk about it tomorrow."
Although the Jazz had hoped Williams would agree to a five-year extension, the longest allowable, Williams ultimately decided to follow LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul in opting for the shorter deal.
Williams was concerned about the Jazz's future with Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur and Kyle Korver all able to opt out of their contracts and become free agents next summer as well as Jerry Sloan's desire to continue coaching beyond this season.
There was added uncertainty with Jazz owner Larry Miller having been hospitalized since June 10 with complications from diabetes. Williams also can return to the free-agent market sooner thanks to the shorter extension.
But Williams expressed a clear desire to remain in Utah during negotiations and is said to see the extension as another highlight in a summer filled with them.
Williams recently bought a house in Salt Lake City and has remained in town much of the summer. He worked out Thursday morning with the Jazz's summer-league team, tipping off reporters that a deal was close when he said: "See y'all tomorrow."
McClaren would only say that Williams has decided to "continue his great partnership with the Jazz" when asked how many years the extension would run. Williams is expected to attend Friday's game at the Rocky Mountain Revue.
Williams had wanted to sign the extension before leaving Sunday for Olympic training camp in Las Vegas. McClaren said that he and Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor have agreed on the extension but have not yet signed the deal.
O'Connor had yet to return messages Thursday afternoon.
Although Paul was able to reach agreement with the Hornets in a matter of days, Williams' extension dragged on for more than two weeks. Williams did take a family vacation to Mexico and the Jazz did work to involve Miller during talks.
Williams is coming of a season in which he was selected second-team all-NBA, averaging 18.8 points and 10.5 assists. The Jazz again were one of the youngest playoff teams in the league and Williams has missed only four games in his three-year career.

Richmond must tone down its aggression to ensure undisciplined acts do not cost the club what glimmer of finals hope still remains.
And if there is any sense among opposition supporters that the Tigers are becoming the league's ''thugs'', leadership group member Troy Chaplin confirmed that, too, had been addressed ahead of Friday night's battle-of-the-sash against Essendon.
Chaplin said the playing group had made a stand against the overtly aggressive acts that led to Ty Vickery and Reece Conca copping multiple-game suspensions, as well as more minor indiscretions that led to 50-metre penalties at crucial times. ''The past couple of weeks we've had a couple of incidents where we probably crossed the line,'' Chaplin said. ''We don't want to be known as thugs. We want to play that tough unrelated football.''
Conca's elbow to the back of Greater Western Sydney opponent Devon Smith's head on Saturday – which cost him a two-match suspension – and Vickery's punch to the face of West Coast champion Dean Cox – which cost him four weeks – have damaged the reputation of both players and taken the gloss off the team's past two wins.
Chaplin said the Tigers were ''treading a fine line'' in keeping alive finals hopes that appeared dashed five weeks ago, and the defender predicted Essendon would make them pay should any Tiger transgress in what shapes as a crucial match in the competition's bigger picture.
Chaplin called Conca's elbow a ''brain fade'' that caught his team-mates by surprise because ''he just doesn't have that in him''.
''We'll have Ty and Reece in the stands the next couple of weeks; it's hurting us on the field,'' he said.
''We've got that little glimmer of hope. We've got some winnable games in the next four weeks, but the reality is we've got to beat Essendon on Friday night. They're fighting to stay in the eight and keep that finals spot, and we're trying to disrupt that.''
Richmond, 12th and two games behind eight, must win its final four games – against Essendon, Adelaide (away), St Kilda and Sydney (away) – and then rely on other results to fall its way to reclaim the finals spot the club earned last year.
Essendon, seventh, is desperate to reclaim the finals spot it earned last year but was taken in the fallout from the supplements scandal.
Bombers defender Michael Hurley said the events of last year were driving the players in the run home. ''You try not to think about it a whole lot because it was extremely disappointing,'' he said. ''But it does add a bit of extra incentive ... To have that taken away last year was gutting.''
Midfielder David Zaharakis (knee) and swing man Jake Carlisle (hip) were both cleared of injury on Tuesday, after limping off against Sydney last week, and will play against the Tigers at the MCG.
Also, team doctor Bruce Reid confirmed captain Jobe Watson should be available to return next week from the quadriceps tendon injury that has kept him out for seven weeks and initially threatened his entire year. Watson will have a final MRI scan on Wednesday and will see his surgeon on Thursday before moving into full training next week.
Hurley said he expected Watson's return to provide a massive spiritual boost for the team at exactly the right time.
"Early doors, the boys were a bit flat, thinking that maybe we've lost the skipper for the entire season. But to his credit he's done his rehabilitation to a tee and he looks fighting fit," Hurley said.
Forward Patrick Ambrose will miss the match against the Tigers because of a fractured jaw.

Johannesburg: India's Rahul Dravid may have been overshadowed by Sachin Tendulkar's awesome form, but he is leaving his own mark at the World Cup.Nicknamed the Wall and Mr Reliable for his consistently solid batting in Test matches away from India, the 29-year-old has shown he is equally at ease in the reckless world of Limited Overs cricket.Dravid hit an unbeaten 43 against Zimbabwe, a match-winning 62 versus England under the Kingsmead lights in Durban and then followed up with 44 not out against arch-rivals Pakistan.This from a man whose copybook batting style was considered unsuitable for One-day cricket two years ago. The selectors wanted big-hitters or those who could contribute in some other way.So when coach John Wright, Dravid's coach at Kent two years ago, and captain Saurav Ganguly offered him the wicket-keeper's role in One-dayers to lend balance to the side, the Bangalore man jumped at the idea."If I kept wickets, we could either play an extra batsman or a bowler and it gave me something to do," Dravid said. "It was a role I was not familiar with but it grew on me in England last year and New Zealand. I now realise how difficult a keeper's job is."But I am quite relaxed doing it and pleased it helps the team." What has, however, turned the corner for the stylish middle-order batsman is the decision to give the number five spot to him at the World Cup."Ive always maintained the number five position has given a new dimension to my One-day game," Dravid said. "In that position you know what is required of you. If you come in towards the end, you are expected to get runs fast. If wickets have fallen early, you try and build."Building an innings is what I do in Test matches anyway. I've just applied the same principles here." Dravid, the current Indian vice-captain, is confident the team can go far in the tournament, but stressed it would be best to take it one match at a time."It would be foolish to think about the final, when there are three important games to play in the Super Sixes first. We should not lose the momentum."Dravid said he was thrilled to hit the winning boundary, a pull off Waqar Younis, to bring up India's victory against Pakistan at Centurion on Saturday."In fact, in the last two or three overs, I eased off to take in the atmosphere," he said. "At that stage, our victory was assured and I thought, well, let me enjoy the moment. Cheering fans, hundreds of tri-coloured flags. It was incredible."Hope we have many more days like that." With Tendulkar, who is already this tournament's leading scorer with 469 runs at the top of the order, and Dravid at number five, World Cup bowlers will not take India lightly.Copyright AFP 2001

BATON ROUGE - The neutral site thing almost was a disaster on Saturday night in Atlanta, but the LSU football team will also open the 2011 season at another neutral site when it plays Oregon in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 3 in a night game billed the "Cowboys Classic." It will be televised by either ESPN or ABC.
Cowboys Stadium, a domed facility with a retractable roof, is the home of the Dallas Cowboys and opened last season.
The game will mark the third year of a five-year agreement between Cowboys Stadium and ESPN to bring a top college football game to the new stadium each year during the Labor Day holiday weekend to start the college football season. The previous two contests have featured nationally ranked teams with Brigham Yount upsetting Oklahoma14-13 in 2009 and TCU knocking off Oregon State 30-21 this past Saturday.
LSU, meanwhile, nearly blew a 30-10 fourth quarter lead at the Georgia Dome on Saturday but held on for a 30-24 win in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
"This will be a great opportunity to showcase our football program on national television against a quality opponent from the Pac-10," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said. "Cowboys Stadium is perhaps the finest football venue in the country, and to be able to bring our team and our fans to that facility will be a tremendous experience for everyone involved. The Dallas area also has one of the largest LSU alumni bases outside Louisiana, so it will be exciting to bring our football program and the LSU football experience to the state of Texas for a game."
Oregon coach Chip Kelly knows a tough opponent such as LSU should get his Ducks ready for what will be at least an 11-team Pac-10 next season.
"I like games like this as they help prepare you for the conference schedule," Kelly said.
LSU has not played in the state of Texas since losing the Cotton Bowl to Texas in the 2002 season.
In another scheduling move, LSU will host Western Kentucky of the Sun Belt on Nov. 12 next season.

How hard would it be to > add "import OLD format $FOO"(*) as an extension? In a way the binary filter for old StarOffice formats are already an extension. The Problem is that they are not build independent of OpenOffice like other extensions. Therefore they add a lot of code to the core codebase. I do not know if apache allows to have multiple svn repositories for each project. But moving binfilter to a separate repository and refactor it to become a build independent filter makes sense. Since it does not alter any core internal stuff, it is also something that one or more developers can work on without interfering with ongoing core development. The following text is more directed towards developers so let me restate my high level goal again and all non devs can skip the last part :-) I do not want to remove the feature to load old documents forever. I just want to ease the burden of maintaining the OOo source code and help us get this baby flying sooner and not later. If we have resources and time for this than it will be re added later. But such work should be prioritized as soon as we have something usable to show. Some background on the OOo extension system. There are multiple levels of extensions. An extension is everything that can be optionally installed using the extension manager. An extensions communicates with the office code by using the UNO API available. This can be used from all languages where we have a UNO bridge, f.e. java, python etc. Preferred extensions are extensions who only use the UNO API. Those extensions are working with every OOo build that did not break the API compatibility. The next level of coupling for extension is a c++ extension that uses the Uno Runtime Environment (URE). This is a set of low level modules with defined interfaces that in the past stayed compatible during minor version changes. The highes level of couping for extension is a c++ extension that directly links to any OOo module above the URE level. Those extensions only work in the specific OOo version they are compiled for. Binfilter is kind of the later. It is something special as it does not directly use the UNO API but the XML format to communicate with the core Office. Therefore it is possible and IMHO desirable to put binfilter and all modules binfilter use in a separate repository that builds an optional extension that can be used in any upcoming OOo version. Usually code duplication is the root of all evil. In this case it is justified as there should by definition be no more work done on the binary filters as the feature set of binary filters is locked. In the past there where only two types of work done in the binfilter module. The small part was of course to fix security issues found in the filter code. This will obviously have to continue. The major work caused by binfilter was to adapt it to changes to underlying modules. This was not only wasted work but also had the chance to introduce regressions. > If it can be implemented "soon" or "later" as an extension, then it > seems moving this in that direction makes sense *regardless* of the > binfilter problems (ie. as a way to modularize).

The Marine Modeling and Analysis Branch of NOAA's Coast Survey Development Laboratory develops hydrodynamic models for numerous types of applications. These include three-dimensional models for realtime nowcast/forecast systems, depth-averaged tidal models used to compute tidal datums, and the linking of these models to ecological applications such as harmful algal bloom predictions.
All of these models vary in both time and space, and the output results can be linked to numerous geospatial applications. Examples of variables that are output from the model include water levels, currents, salinity and temperature. The changes in these variables over time and space can be shown visually for users, an example of which is shown below for water levels and currents from two operational nowcast/forecast models:
Model results can also be analyzed over time to reveal the average value of variables. For example, harmonic analysis of time series at each spatial location in a model can show the influence of specific tidal frequencies throughout a coastal region. Another example is examining water level time series to compute the average of the high and low water values, the results of which can be used to determine tidal datums such as mean higher high water (MHHW), mean high water (MHW), mean tide level (MTL), diurnal tidal level (DTL), mean lower water (MLW) and mean lower low water (MLLW).
These examples of geospatial information extracted from the models may then be integrated in software and GIS applications to serve specific user applications. The tidal datums, for example, are imported into the VDatum software for vertical datum transformations across a given geographic area. For more information on VDatum, click here. The Coast Survey Development Laboratory is also examining the integration of such information into databases, making it publicly available as netCDF files on an OPeNDAP server, and evaluating formatting options to make the files more available to the GIS community.

The five current S-Cards are relief pitchers Deryk Hooker and Kevin Thomas, along with third baseman Ruben Gotay and outfielders Mike O'Neill and Tommy Pham. Gotay and O'Neill will be starters for the North.
Reliever Keith Butler, who is now with St. Louis, is the sixth Springfield all-star, but will not participate in the game. Pham, currently on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, would seem doubtful for the contest as well.
Butler is a repeater from the 2012 mid-season All-Star Team, on which Springfield also had six representatives. The others were starters Oscar Taveras and Kolten Wong, along with reserves Audry Perez and Jermaine Curtis plus pitcher Trevor Rosenthal. O'Neill was among the Florida State League All-Stars in 2012.

The effects of elevated [CO2] on the C:N and C:P mass ratios of plant tissues
- Citations
- 1.2k Downloads
The influence of elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]) during plant growth on the carbon:nutrient ratios of tissues depends in part on the time and space scales considered. Most evidence relates to individual plants examined over weeks to just a few years. The C:N ratio of live tissues is found to increase, decrease or remain the same under elevated [CO2]. On average it increases by about 15% under a doubled [CO2]. A testable hypothesis is proposed to explain why it increases in some situations and decreases in others. It includes the notion that only in the intermediate range of N-availability will C:N of live tissues increase under elevated [CO2]. Five hypotheses to explain the mechanism of such increase in C:N are discussed; none of these options explains all the published results. Where elevated [CO2] did increase the C:N of green leaves, that response was not necessarily expressed as a higher C:N of senesced leaves. An hypothesis is explored to explain the observed range in the degree of propogation of a CO2 effect on live tissues through to the litter derived from them. Data on C:P ratios under elevated [CO2] are sparse and also variable. They do not yet suggest a generalising-hypothesis of responses. Although, unlike for C:N, there is no theoretical expectation that C:P of plants would increase under elevated [CO2], the average trend in the data is of such an increase. The processes determining the C:P response to elevated [CO2] seem to be largely independent of those for C:N. Research to advance the topic should be structured to examine the components of the hypotheses to explain effects on C:N. This involves experiments in which plants are grown over the full range of N and of P availability from extreme limitation to beyond saturation. Measurements need to: distinguish structural from non-structural dry matter; organic from inorganic forms of the nutrient in the tissues; involve all parts of the plant to evaluate nutrient and C allocation changes with treatments; determine resorption factors during tissue senescence; and be made with cognisance of the temporal and spatial aspects of the phenomena involved.

Gothenburg, Sweden (SPX) Apr 29, 2014
The southern hemisphere of Mars is home to a crater that contains very well-preserved gullies and debris flow deposits. The geomorphological attributes of these landforms provide evidence that they were formed by the action of liquid water in geologically recent time.
When sediment on a slope becomes saturated with water, the mixture may become too heavy to remain in place, leading to a flow of debris and water as a single-phase unit. This is called a debris flow. Debris flows on Earth often cause significant material destruction and even human casualties, when they occur in built-up areas.
During a debris flow, a mixture of stones, gravel, clay and water moves rapidly down a slope. When the sediment subsequently stops, it displays characteristic surface features such as lobate deposits and paired levees along flow channels.
It is these landforms that Andreas Johnsson has identified on Mars. The research group has been able to compare the landforms on Mars with known debris flows on Svalbard with the aid of aerial photography and field studies. The debris flows on Mars provide evidence that liquid water has been present in the region.
"Our fieldwork on Svalbard confirmed our interpretation of the Martian deposits. What surprised us was that the crater in which these debris flows have formed is so young," says Andreas Johnsson of the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg. After the ice age
Crater statistics allowed Andreas Johnsson and his co-authors to determine that the age of the crater to be approximately 200,000 years. This means that the crater was formed long after the most recent proposed ice age on Mars, which ended around 400,000 years ago.
"Gullies are common on Mars, but the ones which have been studied previously are older, and the sediments where they have formed are associated with the most recent ice age. Our study crater on Mars is far too young to have been influenced by the conditions that were prevalent then. This suggests that the meltwater-related processes that formed these deposits have been exceptionally effective also in more recent times," says Andreas Johnsson, principal author of the article.
Impact in wet ground
"My first thought was that the water that formed these debris flows had come from preserved ice within the rampart ejecta. But when we looked more closely, we didn't find any structures such as faults or fractures in the crater that could have acted as conduits for the meltwater. It is more likely that the water has come from melting snow packs, when the conditions were favorable for snow formation. This is possible, since the orbital axis of Mars was more tilted in the past than it is today," says Andreas Johnsson.

Mary Minter (left), Tom Pihlgren (right)
A favorite comment often surrounding a newly launched band or artist is that they are a "ten year overnight success." What magic lies in that ten year stretch? August Music may know the answer.
It was August, 1996, when an advertising agency owner in Austin, Texas, was struck by the full realization that the newly discovered "Internet" was about to change the face of the music industry for good. Acting on her vision of the unlimited possibilities inherent in the newly discovered medium, Austin Music International was formed.
By the time Mary Minter had fleshed out the business plan for Austin Music International, several interested music industry professionals had surfaced. And in January, 1997, Austin Music International. began business with financial backing in place and its first artist, Lee Person. AMI produced Lee's six song EP, "Pink Waters," with local producer, Steve Becker.
Artist development and guerilla marketing via the worldwide web was the focus of AMI from its beginning. Jerry Yang, founder of Yahoo!, dubbed AMI as the "first ever virtual record label." Attracting the attention of other early Internet innovators came with privileges that now have taken their important place in AMI's history. One of those moments involved being invited by the Texas Music Office, along with the originators of Austin's beloved South by Southwest, to attend PopKomm then held
in Koln, Germany. History was made in August of 1997 when the three companies made their debut sharing an exhibitor space at PopKomm, taking Austin and Texas music to European fans.
Mary Minter remembers that on the second day of their first PopKomm venture, she was showing off the AMI website to some interested musician, when out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a film/camera crew headed in their direction. The crew was being led by a tall gentleman dressed to the nines in designer attire. As he continued toward the Texas booth, Mary recalls her surprise that they were his destination.
That gentleman introduced himself as Dieter Gorne, the originator of VIVA television, and one of the founders of PopKomm. (Gorne later became an advisor to Germany's elected Chancellor Gerhard Schroder.) Gorne was there to interview the Texas delegation for VIVA television and media! And for the next four years, AMI received special VIP treatment by being invited to attend "Congress" where all of the "Majors" and international music industry movers and shakers convened to share business.
It took four years over many hills and valleys for AMI to select and produce artists for showcasing on the PopKomm stage. Yet it finally happened, and in August of 2000, AMI took Back Porch Mary and Sissy Siero to Koln Germany to perform for their European fans. Before leaving for home, both bands had received tour invitations from European promoters. AMI had met a very important goal for its select musicians!
While the year 2000 brought its share of highs for AMI, it also brought its lowest moment. Original investor/born and bred Austinite, Tom Pihlgren, was diagnosed with cancer, which came as a total shock considering that he had successfully recovered from a kidney transplant. Realizing that Tom's prognosis was not good, the de-construction of AMI now had to begin. By the time Tom passed away in June of 2002, Austin Music International had ceased all business and the corporation had been dismantled entirely.
During this same time, Mary Minter suffered many other losses. Her father passed away, along with an uncle who had also been like a father to her. Having moved to Houston with her husband, Mary needed some time to regroup and gain strength. And by 2004, she was ready to discover Houston's music scene, which resulted in the formation of August Music with the specific purpose of extending AMI's rich heritage.

After the rape and murder of her 17 year-old daughter, Karen McCann is distraught - but when the man responsible is freed, she becomes obsessed with the idea of revenge. A few courses in marksmanship and self-defence later, and she's ready to go after the killer.
With a solid cast, direction from Britain's John Schlesinger - who jangled copious nerves with Marathon Man and Pacific Heights - and the controversy-courting subject matter of a child's horrific rape and murder and a mother's hunger for revenge, this gears up as a tense and thought-provoking thriller. Sadly, with formula too often favoured to invention and its social message lost in histrionics, the potency of the material fizzles out.
Field is the smart but dowdy mother of two whose life is blown apart when her elder daughter (Olivia Brunette) dies at the hands of a fruitcake psychopath (Sutherland). His only motive appears to be a desire to do evil, something which manifests itself in a number of characteristics (pouring coffee over a dog, much spitting, etc.) that suggest his sanity has long since departed. But when a court lets him off on a technicality, the mother's grief turns to anger and an obsession with revenge that hubbie Harris can do little to subdue.
Thereafter, being predictable doesn't necessarily mean that a movie can't be entertaining, but Schlesinger relies on unpleasant shocks - witness two disturbing murder scenes, each tottering perilously between the powerful and the gratuitous - instead of psychological tension building or ingenious plot twists.
In the wake of the O.J. Simpson trial, there ought to have been plenty of opportunity to address the issues of what to do when justice fails, but this simply isn't clever enough, building up instead to a workmanlike finale in which cheap thrills are replaced by no thrills, and any pretence of thoughtful debate has long since been abandoned.

People think that life after receiving that diploma is just one big party. It is a time to celebrate your independence, reaching the legal drinking age and having money of your own. Life passes you by and before you know it, you hit thirty and you still have no savings. Your twenties are all about learning about being responsible. Even if you have just recently graduated from college, you should already think about investing for your future. In fact, you should always start as early as possible.
With these investment tips, you will be able to get started in securing the future that you want. With time, hard work, and the right know-how, you will be one step closer to being financially independent.
1 What are your goals?
The first step to securing you're the financial future that you want is to see yourself in the future. Visualize what that future looks like. Each person has different financial goals in live. For some, it might be early retirement, while for other it means owning a good home. For you it might be having a comfortable lifestyle, yearly vacations, and sending your kids to an Ivy League school. Compute how much that dream will cost you in the future. Work backwards to be able to identify the way you will be able to reach those goals. Work with a financial planner if you have trouble with the numbers.
2 Protect Yourself before You Wreck Yourself
One of the most important things to remember is to protect yourself before you start building your net worth. So often, many of you think that it is not a necessary step while you are still hearty and hale in your twenties. When something unexpected happens, you would probably regret that you didn't make any moves in protecting yourself. Protection involves purchasing insurance, such as disability or life insurance policies. Your twenties is often the best time to get life insurance because you can choose a longer payment plan. Protection also involves establishing wills or guardianships. After all, death does not choose by age.
You should also have some sort of emergency fund in place. This is money that you can tap into for unexpected events. You should always remember to save for a rainy day so that you won't have sleepless nights trying to figure out where to get the money.
3 Retirement is closer than you think!
Many companies offer 401(k) or other retirement savings plan. This is part of your benefits and you should not let it go to waste. Even if retirement is far off and you don't even know if you will be staying with the company for the decades to come, you should still start saving for retirement today. Join your company's retirement plan. To be able to make the most out of it, ideally your contribution should be enough so that the company gives the maximum match.
4 Crawl before you walk… but you must walk.
Knowledge is power and this has never made so much sense. You should always be in the know when it comes to money matters. You should always be in control of your finances and not just rely on passive investment strategies. Learn about financial planning and what methods suit you. Read up on them. The internet is a wealth of resources. Read books and magazines that will guide you through the various investment vehicles available today. Go to a seminar to learn about topics that you are interested in, say, the stock market. Being knowledgeable will allow you to build your wealth more effectively and avoid being victim to various scams.
5 Be Aggressive, Be More Aggressive!
Since you are still young, you will have decades before you will end up in retirement. You will also have more disposable income since you probably do not have a family of your own right now. You can therefore take more chances with your investment strategies. This is the right time to consider being aggressive since you are more concerned with long term growth and increasing your wealth. If you do take a financial hit, you will have time to build your wealth once more.
How about you? What are your investment tips and tricks for recent college graduates?

Ready to Read: Heading for the Classroom
Parents are truly their children's first and most important teachers. It is clear that parents should not leave to schools alone the important tasks of language and literacy development.
- Reading to a child for 30 minutes per day from infancy helps prepare a child to learn. A five-year old who has not been read to daily will enter kindergarten with far fewer hours of "literacy nutrition" than a child who has been read to daily from infancy. No teacher, no matter how talented, can make up for those lost hours.
- Parents who value reading are more likely to visit the library and give books as gifts. Access to quality reading material should continue throughout a child's school years. The National Association of Education Professional's 1998 Reading Report Card found that students with higher reading scores were more likely to report four types of reading material in their homes-encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, and at least 25 books.
- Parents cannot assume that schoolwork makes up for too much TV. Children of all ages watch as much TV in one day as they read for fun in an entire week. Overall, children under age 13 spend 90 minutes a day in front of the TV-one-quarter of their free time.
- Adults pass on to children their own expectations about education and achievement, both positive and negative. Shared enthusiasm about books and reading between a parent and child can deepen the child's interest in learning to read. Children who learn from parents that reading is fun may be more likely to sustain efforts to learn to read when the going gets tough.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Police say a 24-year-old homeless man went on a shopping spree after breaking into cars parked outside St. Petersburg fitness centers.
Alexander Albacete faces more than a dozen charges, including burglary and fraudulent use of credit cards. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail on Tuesday.
The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/YBtIH3 ) reports Albacete used stolen credit cards to spend about $500 at Tyrone Square Mall and gas stations on Feb. 10. Arrests reports indicate that he bought more than $800 worth of items at retail outlets including Macy's, Finish Line, Hollister, Pacific Sun and Walmart on Feb. 16. Three days later, he spent more money on the same day two cars were broken into at Anytime Fitness.
Police found victims' credit cards and IDs in his possession.

There's always room for more tight, calculated synth-rock, and Dance For The Dying are more than happy to oblige. Here's the exlusive premiere of "Mannequin," the opener to the Washington, D.C. quartet's forthcoming EP Puzzles For The Traveler. Frontwoman M.C. Wolfe's vocals arch over the playful track, with frank lyrics about longing and desire. The band has clearly studied up on the New Wave classics, while flipping those influences into something that sounds fresh. Listen to the track, below.
Puzzles For The Traveler is out on October 2, and follows Dance For The Dying's self-titled 2011 debut EP. After the band celebrates Puzzles For The Traveler with its hometown fans on September 29, it will be making its way to New York for the 2012 CMJ Music Marathon.
We caught up with drummer and band founder Chris Link via email to talk about the new EP.
I read that the band first got together via Craigslist. Would you suggest that for other bands?
Sure would! We know other bands that have come together this way, too. But there really is no one way to meet other musicians. Craigslist worked for us—mostly. M.C. was brought into the fold through mutual acquaintance.
What was your song writing process like for "Mannequin"?
M.C. brought in a really catchy verse complete with a keyboard part. We just kinda started jamming on that for a while and built a song around it. We try to write all of our songs together. Generally, one of us brings in a part or a few ideas and we play around until things start gelling. From there it's about pulling the hooks up front and focusing some of the ideas.
Most of the songs on your new EP are named after inanimate objects or dead people, is this intentional?
As a group it seems like we have a problem with naming things. The names of our songs are usually the most prominent word in the song. M.C. does the lyric writing and has a bit of a fixation on tragedy in literature and morbidity in daily events. Lately she's been gravitating toward anthropomorphizing objects to make analogies.
