The #12 OLB in the Class of 2010, Shirley was kicked off UCLA's football team last month for his involvement in a purse-stealing incident along with Shaquille and Paul Richardson. Reports make it sound like Josh used bad judgment, but was mostly in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While it's a little peculiar that Coach Sark would kick a player off the team one day (Kavario Middleton) and sign a player that had been kicked off another team the next day, the two situations are quite different. Not to dump on the kid, but all indications are that Middleton had a poor work ethic, a lack of commitment to the program, and some issues with drug testing whereas Shirley has a great attitude and a clean background except for this recent dust-up with law. And if Kavario is offered a second chance at another school (hell, even at UCLA - I'd take that trade talent-wise), you can bet your sweet ass TheDawgDude would want him to get his shit together and fulfill his potential (assuming he isn't a Duck).
Ultimately, I have faith in Sarkisian's ability to judge character and if he is comfortable with adding Shirley, so am I.

Embodied auditory perception: the emotional impact of approaching and receding sound sources.
, 10
pp. 216-229.
Research has shown the existence of perceptual and neural bias toward sounds perceived as sources approaching versus receding a listener. It has been suggested that a greater biological salience of approaching auditory sources may account for these effects. In addition, these effects may hold only for those sources critical for our survival. In the present study, we bring support to these hypotheses by quantifying the emotional responses to different sounds with changing intensity patterns. In 2 experiments, participants were exposed to artificial and natural sounds simulating approaching or receding sources. The auditory-induced emotional effect was reflected in the performance of participants in an emotion-related behavioral task, their self-reported emotional experience, and their physiology (electrodermal activity and facial electromyography). The results of this study suggest that approaching unpleasant sound sources evoke more intense emotional responses in listeners than receding ones, whereas such an effect of perceived sound motion does not exist for pleasant or neutral sound sources. The emotional significance attributed to the sound source itself, the loudness of the sound, and loudness change duration seem to be relevant factors in this disparity.

Fayette communities come together on forming land bank
Interest is growing in forming a land bank by Fayette County municipalities.
On Tuesday, representatives from various Fayette County municipalities gathered in Connellsville City Hall to discuss implementation of a land bank. This was the second meeting held on the issue.
Last month, representatives from Connellsville, South Connellsville and Dunbar met. This month they were joined by representatives from the Uniontown Redevelopment Authority and the Redevelopment Authority of Fayette County.
Connellsville Councilman Tom Karpiak said since the last meeting, he has discussed the land bank implementation with interested officials.
"Some people have concerns, some were all for it, some thought it is a pretty good thing," said Karpiak.
He said concerns were voiced that the land bank could purchase property that a developer might be interested in.
Karpiak said it could be an advantage for a developer to buy the property from the land bank because taxes and other legal items would be taken care of.
Karpiak said one individual who owns a property with a $10,000 mortgage told him he would be willing to continue to pay on the mortgage and give it to the land bank.
Mark Rafail, executive director of the executive director of the Uniontown Redevelopment Authority, said it was too early to form a decision about whether a land bank would work.
"We really need to figure out if the municipalities or the county, in general, has a need for a land bank and we really need to do some type of research as to what properties have been sold in the past through the tax sale and what they've been sold for, and are we able to flip them and make a profit," said Rafail.
According to Rafail, it would do no good to start a land bank with seed money from the municipalities and then have to go back a year later and ask for more.
Rafail and Andrew French, of the Redevelopment Authority of Fayette County, reviewed what was done in the Uniontown area under a similar program and what had to be done to "flip" the properties to continue to keep the program going. This was not a land bank program.
Connellsville Councilman Aaron Zolbrod wanted to know how the program could get the seed money to begin.
Connellsville Township Supervisor Robert Carson and Connellsville Councilman Gregory Ritch were interested in how to approach the school boards.
Under the land bank system, school boards, municipalities and the county must be willing to forgive past taxes and also give a portion of the taxes back to the land bank for a period of time once the property is rehabilitated and sold.
French and Rafail said "good" developers must be a part of the process in order to do a good job on the rehabilitation of the properties.
Rafail said a proposal should be crafted before approaching other bodies, such as school boards, so that it is clear about what needs to be done.
Another worry voiced by Carson and Clyde Martz from South Connellsville are the type of developments that might take place. They questioned where start-up costs would come.
Rafail said it would be necessary to have a list of developers who are interested.
Zolbrod said it is necessary to find sources of funding. He added money from a grant to Connellsville's Redevelopment Authority could be used to research the county property list.
The third meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 26 in Connellsville City Hall.
Karpiak said he thought the discussions went well and believes the land bank idea is going to succeed.

Some of you may think of Cerberus as a three-headed dog that guards the gates of Hell. Others may think of a service that can track down your phone and lock it as necessary. One of the two has decided to embrace material design.Read More
Some of you may think of Cerberus as a three-headed dog that guards the gates of Hell. Others may think of a service that can track down your phone and lock it as necessary. One of the two has decided to embrace material design.Read More
Cerberus is one of the more full-featured device security apps available on Android. It has more features than Android Device Manager, and more importantly it existed years before Google's solution. The developer has occasionally offered free lifetime licenses for the app, but now users are seeing that their "lifetime" licenses are set to expire in a few days. What gives?Read More
Cerberus is a popular app that extends Android's tracking and anti-theft abilities with a host of new tools. Developer LSDroid tends to release updates often, and the latest one fixes an important bug and adds a few more features. Notably, Cerberus can now disable your phone's ability to lower the status bar on the lockscreen, where the Quick Settings menu displays by default in Android 5.0 and 5.1. That will keep thieves from easily disconnecting from Wi-Fi or data networks.
The AutoTask function has been extended to work with various Bluetooth triggers. AutoTask can react to certain conditions like an incorrect PIN or a low battery setting by enabling or disabling certain functions, or locking down the phone.Read More
Cerberus is a solid little app that makes it easy (or at least easier) to find/lock your phone or tablet if it's lost or stolen. The app has accumulated over a million downloads on the Play Store, so clearly it has earned some loyal users. The update to version 3.1 adds a couple of crucial features: full support for both Android Wear and Android 5.0. If you have either one, you'll appreciate the added functionality.
For Android Wear, Cerberus can send an alert to your watch to let you know when it's lost a connection with the phone or tablet. Wear has this functionality built-in, but it's more of a notification than a "your phone is being stolen" alert.Read More
There are updates, and then there are updates. For Cerberus, version 3.0 is the latter. It gets the app ready for Android 5.0 by covering it with pretty materials. Well, as pretty as this particularly unflattering app is going to get.
Cerberus still consists mostly of menus, but now the action bar is very red, a hamburger icon sits in the top left corner, and a sidebar (redesigned since the last time we took a look at the beta) now pulls out over every other part of the interface.
Some of the new features include the ability to prevent powering down from the lockscreen and an option to block USB debugging on your device.Read More
The Android Device Manager might get the basics taken care of, but Cerberus goes a few steps farther. It's a powerful security suite with features like SIM locking, device alarms, remote lock, remote wipe, remote picture taking, and location tracking. It would usually cost you €2.99 (about $4) for a lifetime license, but it's free for the next day in celebration of the app's third birthday.
Cerberus has robust functionality on standard devices, but it can also take advantage of root access to move to the system partition so it persists between device resets. The new feature added in v2.5 is Radar Mode, and it's pretty ingenious.Read More
Cerberus Anti-Theft is the type of app that users install for peace of mind. The service offers the ability to track a device's location, record audio through its microphone, lock it, or wipe it remotely in the chance that it falls into the wrong hands. Unfortunately, this line of defense could be a person's worse nightmare if their account were compromised. That's why it was no small deal when Cerberus recently sent out this email to some of its users, alerting them that a number of usernames and passwords were stolen in a recent data breach.
The company has since issued this admirably detailed statement.Read More
When it comes right down to it, few things are much scarier than finding out somebody can track your movements, read your call log and text messages, and even record audio and take pictures of whatever the phone can get, all without your knowledge. Here's the thing - as careful, security-conscious people, many of us already install software like that for our own purposes, usually to recover a phone in the event it should fall into the hands of thieves. Like a weapon intended for protection, sometimes our best defenses can be turned against us.
It was recently discovered that Cerberus anti theft, a tool we've talked about a few times in the past, has a weakness in its network protocol that allows a determined hacker to use brute-force methods to find the IMEI numbers of user devices and ultimately invoke any of Cerberus's functions.Read More
Cerberus is one of the most highly regarded Android security apps in Google Play, and now it can be yours forever at zero cost. All you have to do is download Cerberus from Google Play (if you haven't already) and confirm that free things are of interest to you.Read More

Surf conditions at 6.35 a.m. on Wednesday 19th June 2013: It's a bright and pleasant morning, the sun rapidly burning off that early morning mist and nothing more than a light breeze wafting in from the north. The surf is tiny again, a foot of glassy stuff rolling ashore. It's not quite as oily or sharp as it has been over the last day or two, a result of that breeze changing direction. And it is small. But it picked up yesterday and it looks like it will again today. We can expect a foot or two of clean and peeling stuff to glide our longboards on but not much more than that. Don't forget the sunblock! The Oakly Keramas comp is about as out on timing as you can get with all of the main action rolling through our nightime. And there is a lot of action going on. Catch up with it all at www.oakleyprobali.com/on-demand. And we have images up on our surfcheck page on our site of some of the new stuff that we are stocking, including bicycle board racks, Brixton Mfg., Captain Fin Co. and Meyerhoffer.

As the Friday afternoon shadows grew longer, Michael Jones thought the $10 million deal was in the bag.
The Impact Minerals boss had spent months negotiating a farm-in to the company's uranium deposit in Botswana, and finally the planets looked set to align.
''We were on the verge of what would've been a significant deal for us,'' he said, declining to name the suitor. ''They were going to leverage off their share price for the cash involved in that deal.''
But, just as the working week was drawing to a close that March afternoon, the deal suddenly changed.
Seven towering waves 15 metres high smashed into the eastern coast of Japan, claiming thousands of lives, homes and towns.
A nuclear power station was famously among the collateral damage and, while he was safe in Perth, Jones knew that he too would be affected by the catastrophe.
''I thought this is just gonna be a disaster for us,'' he recalled.
With a partial meltdown in progress at the Fukushima power station, the uranium sector would soon be swamped by the killer tsunamis, and Impact's Botswana deal was swept away with it.
''It basically disappeared over that weekend,'' Jones said.
A year on, the Fukushima disaster continues to weigh heavily on the industry, but an increasing number of investors believe the time is right to wade back into the uranium sector.
It's no secret that uranium stocks fell off a cliff following the Fukushima failure. More than $1.5 billion was wiped of the value of ASX-listed uranium plays on the first day of trading after the disaster.
Paladin Energy and ERA lost more than $1 billion of that and within six months both companies - aided by troubles in Europe and a few self-inflicted wounds - had shrunk to barely 20 per cent of their former selves.
The spot price for uranium fell sharply, and a round of impairment charges swept through the industry.
But the impact was most profound at the junior end of the market, where the fallout from Fukushima changed companies.
In an unfortunate collision between marketing and timing, Renaissance Uranium listed just three months prior to Fukushima as a ''pure-play'' uranium stock. Within months those ambitions had changed, and managing director David Christensen now describes the company as a ''broad based minerals exploration company''.
Renaissance is not the only uranium play now scouring its tenements for traces of other minerals to help pay the bills until uranium recovers.
Prior to Fukushima, Thundelarra Exploration had been devoting about 75 per cent of its time and money to developing uranium assets, but these days it spends more time talking about copper and gold.
''We have scaled right back on uranium … the company will be spending 10 per cent or 15 per cent of its effort on uranium this year and the rest would be predominantly copper and gold,'' said Brett Lambert, who stood down as managing director of Thundelarra this week. ''From a technical perspective it's not the right thing to do but from a market reality it's the only way to go forward.''
The trend repeated through the many company presentations at last month's Paydirt uranium conference in Adelaide, prompting one industry veteran to quip that copper and gold had never before enjoyed so much airtime at a conference devoted to uranium.
Many analysts and funds managers believe the punishment handed out to the uranium sector after Fukushima was overly severe.
Martin Place Securities keeps an index of 26 ASX-listed uranium stocks, which excludes the diversified majors like Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton in a bid to get an even purer account of movements in the uranium sector.
MPS research head Greg Barns said the combined enterprise value of the index was $11.4 billion in February 2011, yet by October the same set of companies were only worth $4.5 billion: an erosion in value of close to 60 per cent.
Over that same period, the uranium spot price fell by 32 per cent, while the long-term uranium price - considered the most relevant guide given it is the benchmark at which most suppliers sell their product - fell by closer to 15 per cent.
Barns said claims of an over-reaction from investors become even more compelling when you consider that many of those companies have continued drilling since Fukushima and can now point to larger, better understood, deposits of uranium in the ground.
''Given there was an increase in resource over that period that makes them very, very cheap right now. It's like David Jones having a fire sale.''
One of the ironies about 2011 becoming an annus horribilis for uranium stocks is that, aside from Fukushima, it was a year of encouraging regulatory reform for the sector in Australia.
The federal Labor Party relaxed its opposition to exporting uranium to India, and approvals were also finalised for mining the world's largest uranium deposit at Olympic Dam in South Australia. Final approval from the BHP board is the last hurdle.
The trend has continued into 2012, with NSW planning to overturn a 26-year ban on uranium exploration, and the West Australian Labor Party also appears to be softening its stance against uranium mines.
Beyond Australia, the regulatory reaction to Fukushima was a mixed bag. Decisions by Germany and Switzerland to accelerate the decomissioning of their ageing reactors (20 in all) attracted much publicity, despite the fact the resulting gap in power supply may be filled by imported nuclear power. Italy also voted against reviving its nuclear industry, dormant since 1987.
But faith has proved more resilient elsewhere. Japan is still operating two of its 54 reactors and will decide soon whether to restart those made idle after the Fukushima.
Japan is creating a new nuclear watchdog and has ordered power companies to conduct new ''stress tests'' that must be passed before reactors can be restarted.
Pressure for a restart is mounting from Japanese business groups who want more reactors working ahead of the northern summer in a bid to avoid the electricity rationing experienced last year.
Earlier this month, US regulators approved the first new nuclear power station in more than 30 years, while pro-nuclear governments in France and the UK announced a new pact to jointly foster nuclear power development.
While those sorts of news snippets tend to dominate media coverage, the most important decisions are being made in the developing world, where, according to the International Energy Agency, 61 reactors are under construction in 13 countries. That represents more than 90 per cent of the reactors under construction worldwide.
The portrait of nuclear intent looms even larger if the number of ''proposed'' reactors is taken into account.
The IEA says there are 38 nations proposing to build reactors and, if all keep to their published plans, the number of reactors will swell from 434 to 820 by 2030.
China is the driving force, with 27 reactors under construction and plans to build a similar number again between 2015 and 2020.
Approvals for that second tranche are on hold pending a review of the Fukushima failure and, while the findings have not been published, they are expected to declare that China's nuclear build must go on. An official was quoted this week as saying China was ''very likely'' to approve new reactors ''this year''.
Aggressive expansion in China, Russia, Korea, India and the UAE is the most important of several ''fundamentals'' that make the uranium bulls confident the sector will rebound.
The story is built upon a notion that nuclear will be the electricity source of choice in a future where nations will want energy sources free of greenhouse gas emissions.
The pitch is strengthened by the imminent demise of a program that converted old nuclear weapons into fuel for civil nuclear power plants.
Created by the US and Russia at the end of the Cold War, the program is expected to end next year, meaning about 10 per cent of the current nuclear fuel supply will disappear. Another factor expected to stoke demand is the 2011 slump in uranium prices: the depressed market conditions have meant the development of new mines has slowed, threatening an imbalance between supply and demand.
JPMorgan believes this could push up spot price for uranium by more than 60 per cent by 2014, and a recent survey of five analysts predicted a 15 per cent rally in the spot price this year alone.
BHP's plan to expand Olympic Dam has long stood as a bogyman over the industry, threatening to flood the market and pull down prices. But most analysts believe the long development times on that project mean uranium will not be produced there until 2019 and even then haphazardly.
Several organisations with the luxury of investing on long-term horizons - Chinese state-owned enterprises and major miners like Rio Tinto - seem convinced by the uranium bulls, having taken advantage of the Fukushima downturn to seize on uranium assets.
As the spot price was hitting its lowest point last year, Rio Tinto won an aggressive bidding war for a modest-size deposit owned by Canada's Hathor Exploration.
Chinese and Russian companies also were happy to wield the chequebook last year, targeting ASX listed uranium plays like Mantra, Extract Resources and Bannerman Resources.
There's evidence smaller, more specialist investors have put money back into uranium.
Fund manager L1 Capital held no stock in Paladin Energy four months ago but now ranks as the company's second biggest shareholder with 5.28 per cent.
Alliance Resources has also watched its share price more than quadruple over summer, although some of that is thought to be speculation the company will emerge victorious - and wealthier - from a legal stoush.
The Alliance managing director, Steve Johnston, said the buyers were anonymous but there was no doubt the sector was being watched by ''sophisticated investors gearing up'' for a supply shortage next year.
So, after a year of purgatory, is the renaissance of the uranium sector afoot? MPS's Greg Barns thinks so, saying the bottom of the market passed before Christmas and ''outstanding value'' was now offered by several ASX-listed uranium plays.
''I can't see the uranium price staying this low for long,'' he said.
Austock analyst Andrew Shearer agrees, saying many investors have under-estimated the coming shortfall in uranium supply.
''Most interest in the sector has come from end-users seeking to secure long-term supply.
''The equity sector has been slow to follow but we are now starting to see a glimmer of renewed interest,'' he said.
Shearer said the market was awaiting two signals: the restarting of reactors in Japan and confirmation from China that their nuclear building program will continue.
But mining stalwart Warwick Grigor is less optimistic, believing the memories of Fukushima are too fresh. ''I think this nuclear winter that we are putting up with at the moment is going to go on longer than the optimists are suggesting,'' he said.
Grigor, who runs an investment advisory business and also sits on the board of uranium play Peninsula Energy, agrees that nuclear is the logical future power source for a world wanting to reduce its carbon emissions, but he said such decisions aren't always based on logic.
''We are dealing with a world where common sense doesn't rule, even though there is horrendous pollution occurring every day from coal-fired power stations, that is not enough to make some people overcome that psychological fear of nuclear power plants,'' he said.
Grigor said there could be a sweet spot for companies already producing or close to producing uranium, and he said those with multiple mines were best placed. But he said these were exceptions, and there was no justification for being bullish about the sector as a whole.
''I would say 90 per cent of the uranium hopefuls out there are going to find that the road is just too hard for them,'' he said.
Whether uranium's future turns out to be boom or bust, Richard Henning reckons we will be closer to knowing the answer within six months.
His company, Stonehenge Metals, is the type of uranium explorer hurt most by Fukushima. Despite owning the biggest uranium deposit in South Korea - which sources 40 per cent of its power from nuclear - Stonehenge's shares fell from 24¢ last February to 2¢ by November and a current price just under 4¢.
Henning said many small companies had spent the past year draining their cash reserves as they tried to ride out the Fukushima storm, and they simply won't be able to continue in that vein through another year.
''A lot of the juniors who are in the same position as us are going to have to raise capital somewhere in the next six months,'' he said.
''You either raise the capital or you look at some form of merger or acquisition to build your balance sheet … either that or they just close shop and wait for something else to occur.''
Grigor agrees, saying mergers and acquisitions are likely to dominate the sector in the months ahead.
''I do think the sector needs a lot of rationalisation,'' he said.

New love in New York!
Four months after filing for divorce from Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson stepped out with Boardwalk Empire actor Vincent Piazza for a romantic stroll June 15.
"They were laughing and chatting," a witness tells Us Weekly. "She'd stop to kiss him; she couldn't take her eyes off him."
The next day, he even took Simpson, 26, to the airport for her flight back to L.A. (He's currently shooting in NYC.)
"Vincent's a chill guy, very artsy, the quiet type," says a pal. "He likes her." See more pics of the new couple.
A source says the two were set up by a friend, adding that the singer who was spotted on a friendly outing with Wentz and son Bronx, 2, in L.A. June 10 is taking the long-distance love slowly.
Says the source, "It's all very new."
Simpson's rep could not be reached for comment.

ABO Blood Grouping - Methods and ProceduresBY: Shikha Sharma | Category: Others | Submitted: 2010-11-12 07:26:08

ABO blood grouping system is the most widely known and medically important blood type because of its importance in transfusion medicine. Its discovery goes back to 1900, when Karl Landsteiner was trying to solve the mystery that some blood transfusions are life-threatening while others are life-saving. In 1930, he was crowned with Nobel Prize for his excellent discovery.
The four basic ABO phenotypes are A, B, AB and O. Apart from man, this system is also found in apes, gorillas and chimpanzee.
Importance in Forensic Biology
In forensic science, blood typing is one of the preliminary tests, which is done to exclude some suspected sources of bloodstains. Although this test doesn't clearly indicate the suspect involved because many people share the same blood type.
Methods of grouping
In fluid blood samples, the presence or absence of an antigen is ascertained by whether or not the red cells are agglutinated. In dried bloodstains, the cells have ruptured and therefore, direct agglutination tests are no longer feasible. However, the antigens are not immediately denatured upon drying. Indeed, in the ABO system, they survive for many years and retain the capability of combining with specific antibodies. The formation of these antigen-antibody complexes is the basis of all methods employed in the detection of red cell antigens in dried bloodstains. Three methods, which are routinely used for ABO blood grouping, are described below:
1) Mixed agglutination
A high proportion of bloodstains, which are grouped occur on textile fabrics and the corpuscular debris containing the antigenic material adheres tenaciously to the fibres. By this method, finely teased bloodstained fibres are submerged in antiserum and, after a period of absorption, the unbound antibody is washed away leaving behind only antibody, which has combined specifically with the antigens. The fibres then suspended in indicator cell suspension of appropriate group and rotated. During this period, agglutination occurs between the absorbed antibody and the indicator cells so that, in the presence of a specific antigen, the fibres when viewed with a microscope are seen to be coated with a layer of red cells of the same specificity as the stain.
This method has proved very satisfactory for the ABO system and can be used on extremely small stains, but, for maximum sensitivity, it is necessary to use specially selected high titre immune anti-A, anti-B and the group O indicator cells, must be pretreated with enzyme papain in order to detect H antigen. The method has not been found suitable for Rh and MN typing.
2) Absorption-inhibition
It is the classical method of detection of antigens in dried bloodstains. Aliquots of antisera are added to portions of stains or extracts thereof and, after a suitable period of absorption, the residual sera are tested with red cell suspensions of appropriate groups (e.g., group A cells are added to anti-A serum) and the degree of agglutination is compared with that of controls tested in parallel from the unstained substrate. A substantial reduction in titre of serum added to stained material compared with that of serum in the control indicates the presence of an antigen. For this test, the antisera are usually diluted, but nevertheless, it is necessary for a very high proportion of the antibody content to be absorbed by the red cell antigens in order to obtain a significant reduction in titre. This method is relatively insensitive when compared with more recent techniques and, in practice, has proved satisfactory only for grouping in the ABO system.
3) Absorption-Elution method
Another means of direct testing for absorbed antibody is that of absorption-elution. After absorption and subsequent washing away of unbound serum, the combined antibody is eluted, usually by raising the temperature to about 56ºC. The elute is then tested with indicator cells of the appropriate group; agglutination indicates the presence of an antigen of the same specificity as that of the indicator cells.
This method has proved highly satisfactory for ABO grouping where it is possible to group stains of 1mm diameter. It is also in routine use for Rh and MN Typing in dried bloodstains. This method is both more sensitive and more versatile than mixed agglutination. One possible reason for the greater sensitivity is that in mixed agglutination, reactions are only obtained from the antigenic sites exposed on the surface whereas in absorption-elution, the submerged sites are also included. It is also likely that red cells agglutinate more readily with each other than with debris adhering to fibres.

Border collies - would love to hear your experiences.(74 Posts)
Hi dog owners.
We have friends with a gorgeous tricolour border collie bitch who they plan on having pups - they have offered us one as they know we have been thinking about getting a dog for ages (they want the homes sorted before they go ahead with a litter). I would love to hear about your experiences of collies before we commit.
I had a collie/lab X when I lived at home (she was my responsibility to walk and feed) - she was lovely, sweet, clever, a bit nervy and needed lots of exercise and stuff to keep her brain busy. She was extremely loyal, easy to train and soft as butter. So I guess she was a real cross of the two breeds.
DH grew up with GSD and Beauceron so used to quite tricky dogs.
We live in the country and have plenty of open spaces around us, have a largeish garden and I work from home. We feel confident that we could give a border collie a good home with plenty of exercise (we walk and cycle) and understand that they need lots of mental exercise and if possible some sort of 'job'. We have two DC (10 and 8).
Would love to hear your experiences of this lovely breed and any advice on things that we haven't thought of/might not expect. Thank you!
Oh how exciting! I think fate has had a hand to play
I think so too Owllady - I'm so glad things have worked out like this as it feels right to rescue a dog.
Also to be honest I really don't mind at all not doing the puppy thing, I know rescue dogs have their own issues and we have no way of knowing what lies ahead WRT how she will be once she gets home but I think she is a good choice for us. Puppies are so much work in the beginning (cute as they are) so I'm quite happy to be having an adult dog. I just so hope that she is going to be happy with us and that we are right for her.
DC have gone to bed brainstroming names for her.
We have 3 bcs. Fab fab fab!!! Lovely dogs. Willing to work, willing to play, never complain... A huge responsibility yes, but absolutely worth it. I don't work any of our dogs which is silly because they are all very able and willing. They are also fabulous companions and a joy to be around.
Gosh EasyToEatTiger I bet 3 BCs keep you busy.
I went back to the rescue yesterday with the DC to walk what will hopefully soon be our dog. I think she may have recognized us as she was much less shy. She is good as gold (apart from a bit of lead pulling but only for the first few minutes). We had her off the lead in an enclosed space for about half an hour and she was just lovely with the DC. She seems to understand at least the basic cues of 'come' and 'sit'.
DC2 tried 'lie' with her which is 'coucher' in French and she reached out a paw and put in on DC2's chest (DC was sitting on the ground). We wonder if someone has taught her to do that with the cue 'toucher' because she did it again when DC1 tried was the sweetest thing ever.
When we took her back to her kennel we had the lampshade back on her (poor thing has actually pulled one of her stitches out so now has a more rigid one on) and she kept turning round to check that we were with her as she couldn't see/hear us properly with the lampshade.
We have been shopping for bed/lead/a couple of toys/etc and I have some old blankets looked out for her bed. So looking forward to her coming home, I just hope her stitches heal well as she has made a bit of a mess of herself on one side by pulling at them. Rescue won't let her go until their vet is happy though.
Thanks again to you all for your lovely collie stories.
Very intetesting breed. Got my first one two years ago from dogs trust at 8 weeks. He is a delight. We have done many training classes. Puppy nursery to start where about 20 or so pups between 8 weeks and about 16 weeks meet twice a week in a controlled environment and wizz around together for half an hour. I have an eight month old lab as well and she recently met up with another pup she had not seen for about four months and they definately remembered each other. Brilliant for socialising. Back to my collie Dooghal he does grad class kennel club working towards his silver award and is in a flyball team. He has done doggy conditioning classes with a physio slant to improve his muscle tone and conformation to lessen risk of injury and long term damage. He absolutely loves his flyball team mates dogs and humans. We all learn to handle all the dogs in the team so they get used to any one of us helping or catching them. Doighal also loves swimming in our local pond, diving in enthusiastically and swimming at top speed. He loves long bike rides also on our local disused railway foot and cycle and horse track. He is an energetic dog. Probably the most Ihave ever owned but so much fun to own and love too.
She's here!!
We picked her up yesterday, she is currently lying on the kitchen floor staring at me.
She has been fab. She didn't want to get into the car at the rescue so DH lifted her in. Was fine in the car, just a bit drooly but not sick or afraid. Last night we just took her for a 10 minute walk and a few runs round the garden. She slept in her bed in the kitchen with no barking, chewing, etc and DH took her out in the garden for a wee early this morning.
The DC and I took her for a 20 min walk before school so that I could leave her alone whilst I did the school run. It's only a 10 minute walk and she will be able to do it with us but I didn't want her to have a crowd of school kids descend upon her this morning! Also wanted her to stay in the house alone and see that It Is OK as she is a bit anxious and follows me around. The rescue advised that from the first day we leave her for short periods, gradually increasing.
We are trying to 'ignore' her as much as we can so that we give her a bit of space to relax and explore in. (This is hard for the DC but they understand that we mustn't constantly give her attention as it is stressful for her and we don't want her getting into the habit of constant attention...)
So far so good. She is really lovely. Of course she is on her best behavior just now as her world has just been turned upside down - we'll see what the following days and weeks bring...
The DC adore her and I think she is finding us to be not too bad so far
Thanks again for telling me about your lovely collies. Ours is definitely a mongrel but collie enough for me (she herded us a wee bit on our walk - she definitely likes us all grouped together )
This has made me very happy
I would like lots of pictures and updates pls beachcomber over the coming months
She has stopped staring and gone to her bed and has actually properly gone to sleep (with cute gentle snoring). Poor thing must be exhausted after all she has been through in the last few weeks. Looking forward to rebuilding her confidence so that she can be a happy relaxed dog.
Right. I must now go and do some work. I promise not to keep up a running commentary of our every move
Thanks Owllady.
I promise to
witter on constantly about our gorgeous girl update.
Awwww what a lovely outcome!! Such a beautiful dog - I'm sure fate had a hand in her finding you.
Looking forward to regular updates once she settles in.
What a lovely outcome - we had a collie x and 'proper' collie growing up and they were fab dogs (if slightly manic as pups/younger dogs)
Your dog has such a lovely face - definitely need more pics
Mini update!
She slept in her bed fine again last night, went out for a wee early with DH and has just done her first poo!! (never thought I would be excited to post that but with her being pretty anxious I feel a poo is a good sign )
She is a bit less shy and submissive this morning and there is more tail wagging and she even had a wee maddie moment in the garden. I think she likes us
Thanks for all saying she looks nice.
About to take her for a walk, it is lovely and sunny here but windy. Have a lovely day all with your dogs.
She's lovely, my Border Collie is off to the vets today for neutering so he will be feeling a little sorry for himself no doubt.
NCISaddict, thank you! She is lovely. She is quite a bit more relaxed today and less nervous of everything. Lots more tail wagging!
Good luck with your boy being neutered I hope he's OK.
She sounds a poppet
That's exactly the word for her Owllady, a poppet.
She is ace. Sleeps in her bed, toilets outside, lovely with the kids, very affectionate and gradually relaxing a bit. We had to leave her for 2 hours yesterday and she didn't chew anything and was asleep in her bed when we arrived back (I can see her bed from the kitchen window).
Her main 'issue' that we have discovered so far is that she is afraid to eat . I have to give her permission to eat by telling her that it is for her and encouraging her. She was eating so little so I gave her some turkey and then a raw pork bone with plenty meat on it - she obviously so wanted to eat but kept looking up to me for reassurance that she was allowed to do it. She was OK once she got going though and crunched the bone up. She did eat by herself when we left her yesterday, it seems if we are there though that she really needs to be sure that we are letting her eat. Poor wee lamb. She is a little nervous of DH too and at first hid behind me when he was about - she is getting much better with him already however, he takes her out in the morning for an early wee and gives her a treat.
She enjoys a good walk but actually seems relatively unfit at the moment (I guess after nearly a month of being in a kennel in the rescue and probably not getting walked a great deal). I took her out for an hour this morning and she is sleeping now.
She is wonderful (although rather smelly, looking forward to freshening her up a bit with a bath once I feel she is confident enough with me. Going to brush her this afternoon so that might help a bit).
Oh bless her she will learn to trust your dh. It's so sad so many rescue dogs have obviously been mistreated by men. Do you think she was taught to wait for food? I wonder if she is waiting for a release word? Though it could just be fear and insecurity, but you are dealing with that fine anyway
I would give her a bath. I felt the same as you when we had this one, she stank awful! But on day 2 I couldn't stand it so bathed her any way, quickly. She was fine
Not really relevant but just saw this border collie with grudge against cars bbc link. Owner said dog had been run over in the past, not surprised if its allowed off lead by the roads.
My sister has one and they wouldn't be without him. He's fabulous with children especially the toddler. He's never needs a leash he's totally clever and independant. Loves physical activity and keeps the whole family fit. They really would choose any other breed.
Of course the use the lead near roads but generally he stays by the side of the pram without one and know immediately when he gets to the park he's free to run as much as he wants.
Hey Owllady, I think we will bath her at the weekend, we'll try to be quick and just get it over and done with, I bet she will feel better for it.
DH brushed her out in the garden for ages this afternoon, they had a real bonding session with him gently grooming her. He had to cut out quite a few matted bits of fur and found two ticks which we removed with one of those tick turner fork things - they came out quickly and entire and we put some antiseptic on where they had been.
She has been eating a bit better - I really think it is down to anxiety rather than her waiting for a release word. I gave her dinner outside and she ate it much more comfortably, she is more relaxed outside than in the house.
She is sleeping now, another big day for her in her wee life. It's going to take a while to build her confidence up. We'll get there though, we're not in a hurry, just want her to be happy.
Aww bless her, she sounds really really lovely, you all do
I have a 16 week old pedigree border collie bitch. I have never had a proper dog before and have 3 kids 15, 11 and 9.
She is bred (carefully) for temperament and is soft and kind. She needs stimulation and gets bored easily but she is very easy to train. You do need to be consistent, but she picks up commands quickly and is very keen to please.

NEW YORK (Feb. 14)
A call for large-scale federal aid for public education was combined with strong opposition to major features of the pending federal aid to education bill in a joint statement made public this weekend by six major national Jewish organizations. The stand was taken by the American Jewish Congress, the Jewish Labor Committee, Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A., National Council of Jewish Women, Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the United Synagogue of America.
In their statement, the organizations welcomed the assistance to public education in impoverished areas that the Administration bill would provide, and expressed the hope that "more nearly adequate" aid would be forthcoming in the future. But they objected to the measure's inclusion of benefits to non-public, including religiously controlled, schools and its specification requiring that such schools and other non-public institutions and agencies be made participants in the planning and operation of various programs and services.
These provisions endanger the future of public education, and violate the constitutional prohibition of the use of public funds to support religious institutions and enterprises, the statement asserted, calling for the following changes in the bill:
1. Provision for judicial review in the federal courts of the constitutionality of its provisions and its administration, by any public school board; 2. The placing of exclusive control of the administration of federal grants or programs and of the distribution of materials under the bill in the hands of wholly public agencies.
3. Omission of provisions for direct or indirect grants for the acquisition of textbooks and other instructional materials for loan to pupils and teachers in religiously controlled schools; 4. Removal of mandatory requirements for participation by religious and other non-public agencies in control or direction of programs for which funds are allocated, such as the supplementary educational centers provided by the legislation; and 5. Elimination of any requirement that public schools participate in any dual enrollment or shared-time program as a condition of receiving a federal grant.
(In Boston, today, Howard M. Squadron, chairman of the commission on law and social action of the American Jewish Congress, reiterated before the organization's national governing council today statements he had made at a hearing in Washington to the effect tint federal funds to aid education and fight poverty should go "only to those public facilities and public institutions open to all citizens.")

Spartacus Restaurant
In 1978, Kyriakos Kalfas and his wife Ralitsa opened Spartacus Restaurant in Huntington, New York, taking after Ralitsa's father, who had opened a cafeteria in Winston-Salem after returning home from WWII. In the early '90s, the Kalfas were drawn back to North Carolina and opened their own establishment in Durham. Since then, the restaurant's menu has continued to pique appetites and garner praise—its tzatziki-covered lamb kebabs and flaming saganaki helped the eatery earn a Best of the Triangle award from Indy Week in 2013. Guests can enjoy a relaxing evening in the elegant, yet casual dining room. Private rooms are available.

Nadine Labaki attracts buyer buzz with debut feature Caramel
Nadine Labaki shot Caramel - now attracting buyer buzz in Cannes after its Directors Fortnight debut -- in Beirut in late spring 2006, when the troubled city was in buoyant mood following the departure of the Syrian army. 'The timing was so fortuitous, something of a miracle,' says producer Anne-Dominique Toussaint. A week after the wrap party, Israeli bombers were overhead. With the airport besieged, it was September before Labaki could begin post-production in Paris.

Bandwidth match avoids I/O snarl
Post a comment
Scan is the most general and pervasive digital structural-test technique, one that has been a standard in the industry for years. However, scan-design methodologies have not improved in all that time. The traditional methodologies do not use resources for scan design efficiently, which results in suboptimal scan designs in terms of test time, test interface and test power.
Most important, the frequency of the scan I/O ports is completely ignored as a resource and is typically restricted to the frequency of the internal scan chains during test. Since the internal scan chains are typically designed to operate at a low frequency for reasons of test power and design effort, the scan frequency gets tied to a low value as well. This results in a bandwidth (pins x frequency) bottleneck across the scan interface, especially if the automated test equipment (ATE) is capable of providing higher bandwidth.
The traditional coupling between scan I/O frequency and internal scan frequency can be broken by using a technique called bandwidth matching. In this technique, the scan chain or chains and the scan I/Os are connected through one or more bandwidth-matching elements. That makes it possible to decouple the internal scan frequency from the scan I/O frequency-as long as the bandwidth requirements on either side are matched.
The bandwidth-matching elements allow designers to perform pin (space) vs. frequency trade-offs and enable flexible design of internal scan architectures (narrow or wide) within the bandwidth-matching constraint to achieve the goals in terms of test time, test interface and test power. These bandwidth-matching elements can be easily implemented using either a shift register or a demultiplexer/multiplexer pair.
The time it takes to do a scan test for a design can be reduced with bandwidth matching if there is extra bandwidth available at the I/O. The original scan chain can be split into multiple scan chains; this reduces the depth of the scan chain, which determines the test time for a given scan frequency. For example, the extra bandwidth available at I/O can be used to split the original scan chains into two to reduce the scan depth to 50 instead of 100. This cuts test time by 50 percent without increasing the number of scan I/O ports. In general, the test time reduction is linear to the bandwidth ratio of the I/O bandwidth and the internal scan bandwidth.
The extra bandwidth at the I/Os can also be used to reduce the number of scan ports required for a scan architecture. In this case, instead of using one scan-port pair to connect to one scan chain, multiple internal scan chains are connected to the same port using bandwidth matching, up to the maximum bandwidth available at that I/O. This reduces the overall scan port requirements.
When the approach is applied to reducing chip consumption and dissipation effects, use can be made of the fact that power is proportional to frequency. If we can drop the frequency, the total power will also drop.
However, for a scan chain, if the scan frequency is reduced, then test times are increased. But if the scan chain is split into multiple segments by a factor that is equal to the drop in the frequency, then the test time will remain the same because the scan depth drops by the same factor.
In addition to benefiting the device, the bandwidth-matching technique enables better ATE designs. The effect of decoupling the internal scan frequency from the I/O frequency, enabled by bandwidth matching, undermines the basic assumption upon which low-cost structural testers often have been proposed. Instead, this decoupling makes it possible to design cost/frequency-optimized ATE systems.
To take advantage of the proposed technique, one would need to design bandwidth-matching elements that can be easily implemented using shift registers. Moreover, if the insertion of these elements is supported by the design-for-test synthesis tools, then it can be made completely transparent to the user in terms of scan implementation. One can use higher pad frequencies to increase the bandwidth and get better benefits. Of course, higher-frequency pads will also need higher frequencies from ATE. But modern, well-integrated ATE can run up to hundreds of megahertz easily without adding any significant cost, especially when one considers that in scan tests, accuracy requirements are not high.

K&S Potash Canada, a subsidiary of Germany's K&S AG, said on Thursday that it signed an exclusive long-term deal for Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd to transport potash from a mine it is building in Western Canada.
Terms were not released.
The Legacy mine near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, is expected to begin production in 2016, and will be the province's first new potash mine in about 40 years.

NEW YORK — Lehman Brothers is a business again, two years after declaring the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history, with billions of dollars in cash, 500 employees, real estate and investments in other bankruptcies.
The defunct New York investment bank, being run by Bryan Marsal, has almost $20 billion in cash and a monthly payroll of up to $45 million for managers and advisers. Hard-to-sell investments are being managed by 400 employees, and the firm is spending tens of millions of dollars on litigation set to stretch to at least 2012.
Lehman's strategy is unusual for a bankrupt company that's liquidating. Marsal, 59, is betting that he'll raise twice as much by holding Lehman's worst-performing investments as he would by conducting a fire sale.
"The liquidating estate is acting like an ongoing investment concern," said Lawrence Larose, a lawyer with Winston & Strawn's financial restructuring practice in New York. "It's trying to slowly extricate itself from these billions of dollars of investments around the world."
Marsal is not only pouring cash into distressed assets he inherited. He spent $1.4 billion to buy a bankrupt affiliate's loans on a bet he could sell them at a profit.
In a filing Tuesday, Lehman is seeking to recover more than $3 billion from banks, insurers and other financial services companies that it claims it lost when its bankruptcy filing in 2008 caused its priority payment status to be modified.
Marsal plans to slash creditors' claims, initially $1 trillion, to $260 billion by disallowing duplicate and unsubstantiated demands.
He intends to use lawsuits to recover money for creditors. From Barclays, Lehman wants as much as $11 billion because of an alleged "windfall" the British bank made on the purchase of Lehman's defunct brokerage.
Lehman accused JPMorgan Chase & Co. of helping cause its collapse by demanding $8.6 billion in collateral as credit markets contracted in 2008; it put the damage at billions of dollars.
Both banks denied wrongdoing and are fighting back. The Barclays trial in bankruptcy court will continue at least through September. JPMorgan's is set for 2012.
"If Lehman is only able to extract a modest settlement from Barclays or JPMorgan, creditor fears of getting back dimes on the dollar will become reality again," said Mark Williams, a lecturer at Boston University who wrote a book on Lehman, Uncontrolled Risk.
Lehman, once the fourth-largest investment bank, with assets of $639 billion, foundered on Sept. 15, 2008, because of risky real estate bets and too much debt, which it tried to hide from investors, according to a report by examiner Anton Valukas.
Marsal has been Lehman's chief executive since 2008. He intends to raise $40 billion to $50 billion by selling Lehman assets in the next five years for unsecured creditors, he said. Selling soon after the 2008 financial crisis might have brought $20 billion or less, he said.


text: Micah L. SifreyMinuteman MediaThere's fresh evidence, from the legislative floor to the voting booths to the halls of academia, that the Clean Money/Clean Elections model of ull public financing is making a dramatic difference in the politics of Arizona and Maine. In a year when we are likely to experience the first-ever billion-dollar presidential campaign, and fundraising for congressional campaigns is skyrocketing, it's worth paying some attention to the real changes that are possible when you offer candidates an alternative source of "clean" public funding for their races.First, the academic view: Clean Elections has made a difference in rizona and Maine, where more candidates are running and competitiveness has increased, according to a May 2004 paper titled "Do Public Funding Programs Enhance Electoral Competition?" Professor Kenneth Mayer and his colleagues at the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison offer some striking conclusions. Among their findings: "There is no question that public funding programs have increased the pool of candidates willing and able to run for state legislative office. This effect is most pronounced for challengers, who were far more likely than incumbents to accept public funding." "Public funding appears to have increased the likelihood that an incumbent will have a competitive race." In Arizona such races more than doubled from 22% in 1998 to 45% in 2002. "Fears that clean money would be tantamount to an incumbent protection act are unfounded, as are, as near as we can tell, objections that money would be used by fringe candidates who would do nothing but feed at the public trough." "Arizona experienced a significant jump in the number of contested races in 2002, increasing from about 40% in 2000 to over 60% in 2002. Not only was this increase large, it also reversed the previous trend of uniformly fewer contested elections between 1994 and 2000. While we cannot attribute this shift entirely to public funding (which was also in place for 2000), it is likely to have played a key role."The early results for the 2004 election cycle are also impressive. In Maine, which held primaries June 8, 71 percent of the candidates were running "Clean" up from 50 percent in 2002 and 31 percent in 2000. (It's too soon for numbers from Arizona, as the primary there takes place on September 5.) The Portland Press-Herald reports that the bumper crop of candidates resulted in more contested primaries within parties than in almost a decade.And the candidates credit Clean Elections with making the difference:"There's a number of people who could not afford to have run had it not been for the Clean Elections Act," Republican Robert Haggett of Biddeford, a House candidate, told the Press-Herald. "I'd like to go into the Legislature not being beholden to anybody," said Timothy Driscoll, another House candidate who ran "clean." Echoing other prior participants in Clean Elections, Driscoll said "It's all about getting out door to door. Knowing you don't have to raise private money, he added, "gives you more time to do that."(Micah L.
