text: Hello All! Just doing some tooting around on the website and consequent other sites to answer some questions that popped up, and I thought I'd just ask you guys: I found this file on the net about all these different prey species of Californian Market Squid (L. oplanescens) paralarva, but it also said that this species is a Myopsid squid, "that means that they have corneas over their eyes." Does this then effect the way the squid, including paralarva, sees and thus how it hunts? Like for us, carneas do the chief light bending and focussing, so if these squid and their paralarva can focus better, how does this effect their eatting habits? Also, how are other squid effected by not having corneas, like architeuthis and other squid species that are never mentioned on that website? persumably they dont have corneas? And speaking of giant squids, how many species are there? I thought there was only A. dux, and no real others as they are waiting to clarify the difference between the specimens so far. However, I found one site that said there were EIGHT! and another said three! I was very surprised so I thought you guys could clear the mist. Thanks a lot! sumthinfishy PS: The website are as follows if ya wanna check them out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_squid (8 species) http://tolweb.org/tree?group=Architeuthis&contgroup=Decapodiformes (3 species)


text: Results By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Results of a nonstress test are considered: Reactive. Before week 32 of pregnancy, results are considered normal (reactive) if your baby's heartbeat accelerates to a certain level above the baseline twice or more for at least 10 seconds each within a 20-minute window. At week 32 of pregnancy or later, if your baby's heartbeat accelerates to a certain level above the baseline twice or more for at least 15 seconds each within a 20-minute window, the results are considered reactive. Nonreactive. If your baby's heartbeat doesn't meet the criteria described above, the results are considered nonreactive. Nonreactive results might occur because your baby was inactive or asleep during the test. If the test is extended to 40 minutes and your baby's nonstress test results are nonreactive and you are 39 weeks pregnant (full term), your health care provider might recommend delivery. If you are not full term, your health care provider will likely do another prenatal test to further check your baby's health. For example: Biophysical profile. A biophysical profile combines a nonstress test with a fetal ultrasound that evaluates your baby's breathing, body movements, muscle tone and amniotic fluid level. Contraction stress test. This test looks at how your baby's heart rate reacts when your uterus contracts. During a contraction stress test, if adequate uterine activity doesn't occur on its own you will be given intravenous oxytocin or be asked to rub your nipples to induce uterine activity. Your health care provider might also ask you to have another nonstress test later in the day. Keep in mind that a reactive result is far more likely to be correct than is a nonreactive result. If you have a nonreactive nonstress test and a second nonstress test that's reactive, the results of the second test are considered reliable. Other possible causes of a nonreactive nonstress test result, besides the fetus being inactive or asleep, include decreased oxygen (fetal hypoxia), maternal smoking, maternal use of medications, and fetal neurologic or cardiac anomalies. Rarely, during a nonstress test, problems with a baby's heart rate are detected that require further monitoring or treatment. Be sure to discuss the results of your nonstress test with your health care provider and what they might mean for you and your baby.

Present Day Goals
I found this quote and it made me think... before getting the promotion, I was tired. I did not do anything and felt like there was no time for anything. It only felt that way... in fact, I am still working 8 hours a day, I am working more, but the work is also more interesting, challenging and at the end of the day I am not drained. Well, truth be told, although some things annoy me at work, I do not have humans I do not know shouting at me or making me doubt humanity...
Speaking of goals now... it appears that bad events can give us a positive push to work harder on what we want. I am working harder than ever on something that I wanted ever since... forever maybe? When I moved here? When I was 23?
It's not something easily achievable and it does require sacrifice, but I do believe that the good parts are going to outweigh the hard parts. I just need patience... and to worry less, of course. But hopefully this week we will make the big step towards a brighter future. And fortunately there are people here for me, for us, to help us and support us and just be there for my silly ideas and arguments in the middle of the night.
So thank you, you dear wonderful humans who help me and thank you, mum, for simply saying that you would do such a sacrifice for me - although I will not let you, because you have already sacrificed enough to get me where I am today.
// Andreea

As so often happens in war, what began as a campaign with an initial, limited objective has escalated to something larger that takes longer to achieve and at greater cost.
Countries such as Canada that entered the Libyan civil war to defend civilians from dictator Moammar Gadhafi, without any stated intention to replace him, now insist that only his removal will suffice. What started therefore as a humanitarian mission now is clearly a political one, backed by daily pounding from NATO bombs, and intelligence agents on the ground: regime change.
But regime change to what? Libya is a country of sorts, an authoritarian state overlaying a multiplicity of tribes, some of which are loyal to Colonel Gadhafi, others fiercely hostile to him. If NATO succeeds in dislodging him, no one knows what kind of arrangements might arise to hold these tribes together. Put another way, it has not been easy to remove Col. Gadhafi from power - the new NATO objective - but when that removal occurs, putting durable government arrangements together in his stead might be more onerous still.
This reality, of course, seemed to dawn on NATO, and on the Canadian government, long after the decision was taken to intervene. In Canada's case, after all, we knew next-to-nothing about the complexities of Libya, and so, as with our entry into Afghanistan almost a decade ago, began military action with lofty ideals but scant actual knowledge. Our pilots began flying bombing missions, so that figuratively and literally speaking, our representatives in uniform were observing Libya from the air without knowing much about the peoples and societies down below.
When, therefore, the House of Commons got around to debating the Libyan campaign, as it did Tuesday, the level of even elementary understanding of the country that our planes are bombing could politely be described as limited, but more accurately described as non-existent.
Canada went along principally because our traditional allies felt something should be done to stop Col. Gadhafi from killing some of his opponents, perhaps on a mass scale, in the eastern part of the country. The British and French seemed keenest on this humanitarian objective, whereas the Americans were initially cool, perhaps because they were already engaged militarily in two other Muslim countries, and also perhaps because the now-villainous Col. Gadhafi has been a valuable ally in the "war on terror."
That the U.S. government is also broke occurred to a few Americans, too. Predictably, the Americans are doing much of the heavy lifting in the campaign, and are none too happy about some of their NATO allies doing little or nothing, starting with Germany.
The Germans wanted no part of this NATO mission sanctioned by the United Nations. Having campaigned very successfully for a seat on the Security Council (beating Canada handily), Germany promptly took a pass on the first UN-authorized military mission, a rather ignominious beginning for a country that wants a permanent Security Council seat.
In bombing Tripoli extensively, NATO is obviously hoping that Col. Gadhafi will either be killed or forced into exile. NATO's friends, if that is the word, would seem to be all those who oppose him: tribes in eastern Libya and secularists, Western-oriented businessmen and former Guantanamo inmates, loosely grouped in something called the National Council, who seem to have more in common about what they oppose than what to build post-Gadhafi.
It is all very well, as some MPs argued yesterday, for Canada and the NATO countries to send aid to Libya once Col. Gadhafi is removed, but we have seen repeatedly that such aid commitments - be it for AIDS, Afghanistan or climate change - fall far short of early pledges. And apart from the very likely shortfall of actual aid, whatever money is offered will be far less consequential than whether the tribes of Libya can manufacture some consensus post-Gadhafi.
Unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no appetite to keep sizable military forces on the ground in Libya to provide stability during regime change. Therefore, we have unleashed air power that eventually, one presumes, will replace the existing regime with another, without any idea of what will come next, and no willingness to help shape it.Report Typo/Error

Police say they've arrested the alleged feet-smelling sexual predator who chokes his victims until they fall to the ground.
Calvin Presinal, 28, of the Bronx, was arrested on charges of rape, assault and strangulation Friday. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Police say the suspect attacked two women within half an hour last Friday. In the first case, he choked an 18-year-old woman as she walked near Sedgwick and Bailey avenues in the Bronx around 1:10 a.m.
Once she was on the ground, the attacker, wearing a latex glove, took off her shoes and began to smell her feet, police say. The woman struggled away and the suspect fled.
About 20 minutes later, police say the suspect sneaked up behind a 24-year-old woman on Park View Place and choked her. He tried to open her pants, but she fought back and the suspect fled, police said.

Toppenish, Where The West Still Lives – Short Hops
Another in a series of short day trips you can take around the Yakima Valley that won't totally destroy your gas budget.
A trip to Toppenish will definitely not break your gas budget, even at today's prices. The thing that you will really have to budget is time, because there is so much to see!
Toppenish lives up to it's billing as the city of Murals and Museums. The historical murals that are painted on buildings all over town started in 1987, and now attract visitors from all over the world. The next mural will be painted at the "Mural In A Day" event in June.
Toppenish is also home to the American Hop Museum, Northern Pacific Railway Museum, and the Yakama Nation Cultural Center.
Like I said, a lot to see. you might have to take two trips!
The Toppenish Chamber of Commerce has a very extensive website, packed with information.
Here's the link:
We hope you've enjoyed Short Hops this week. If you have suggestions for future Short Hops, email email@example.com.

Outside Equity Financing
This paper explores the necessary conditions for outside equity financing when insiders, that is managers or entrepreneurs, are self-interested and cash flows are not verifiable. Two control mechanisms are contrasted: a partnership,' in which outside investors can commit assets for a specified period, and a corporation,' in which assets are committed for an indefinite period but insiders can be ejected at any time. The paper also shows how going public to reduce outsiders' power can be efficient if it preserves appropriate incentives for insiders. The concluding section explains how the difficulty of verifying the act of investment leads to monitoring costs and insiders' pursuit of private benefits of control.

Legal Question in Business Law in Washington
Can an employer hold your last paycheck for any reason?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Employment
A statute in Washington provides that wages must be paid when due and that double damages are available where wages are wilfully withheld.
Re: Employment
It's usually viewed as kind of risky. You'd need to give your attorney more of the facts.
Re: Employment
Your employer can hold your paycheck until the next regular payday. In other words, you do not need to be paid any earlier than you otherwise would.
If the employer claims that an employee stole from the company during the final pay period, the employer can withhold up to the value of what was stolen but provided only that the amount paid to the employee must at least meet minimum wage.
If your employer is improperly holding your final paycheck, the Department of Labor & Industries may be able to help you with that.

Replacing fossil fuels by renewable resources thanks to permanent rather than intermittent sources (solar, wind, power) is now a possibility. Veolia demonstrates it with Energido, an innovation which allows recovering heat from wastewater. For example, municipal swimming pools can thus be fed with with 100% renewable energy.
Detailed Solution description
CAPTURING THE ENERGY POTENTIAL OF WASTEWATER The fight against climate change requires exploiting all types of clean and alternative energy, in particular unavoidable energies produced by urban installations. With this in mind, innovation is key, particularly in the field of energy recovery from wastewater. Thanks to its expertise, Veolia can sustainably provide for municipalities, contractors and building administrators' heating and cooling needs. Called Energido, this solution was patented by Veolia. The innovation is using an offset heat exchanger to convey the calories generated by sewer system to a reversible heat pump which gives the energy back by producing water to feed either the heating or the cooling network. Unlike similar processes, the heat exchanger is not located in the collector, which usually leads to installation and maintenance restrictions. Energido offers enhanced control of the system's thermal performance. As large consumers of heat, aquatic centers are particularly interested in exploiting the heat capacity from wastewater. This is exemplified by the implementation of Energido in Arras, where the urban community wastewater is used to heat the 4,000 m2 aquatic complex of Aquarena. With a power of 1,000 MWH, the solution helps reduce the center's fossil fuel dependence by covering 75% of its annual needs in gas. The rate of renewable energy has gone up from 30% to 80%, which in turns means a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Although exemplary, this implementation is not unique. Energido has also been implemented in the prestigious "Cercle des nageurs de Marseille" (a swimming club in Marseille), where pool water is maintained at 27° C all year round and gray water is preheated. Substantial savings are being made: 35% on the annual energy bill and 230 metric tons of CO2 per year. Energido has also been deployed in other contexts such as the Ginestous-Garonne wastewater treatment plant in Toulouse. There, the energy recovered from wastewater is utilized to warm a 15,000 m2 building in the sludge treatment facility. The savings made by using Energido to feed the heating network of the composting platform is of 650,000 KWH per year. With 34 metric tons of CO2 emissions avoided each year, Energido also helps the plant to reduce its carbon footprint. Another illustration: in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the new eco-friendly district Cap d'Azur retrieves calories from wastewater running in the municipal water treatment plant discharge pipe, to supply hot gray water, heating during winter and air conditioning in summer to 300 dwellings spread over 20,000 m2. Philippe Rapeneau, president of Arras metropolis: "We are trying to initiate the energy transition and to reduce our GHG emissions wherever possible. Regarding Aquarena, as we were discussing with Veolia, our wastewater delegated manager, we found a solution for a renewable energy supply"
Launch DateImplementation began on
First implemented in Toulouse in 2012 (then Roquebrune in 2013, Arras and Marseille in 2014).
Solution Partners
The implementation of the solution Energido in Arras, where it allows heating of the water areas of the Aquarena Center. It has required an investment of 600,000 euros - 60% of which were financed by Veolia and 40% by the ADEME heat funds, which aims to develop the production of heat from renewable sources.
Weak points for Solution deployment
- Distance between heat source and the necessary equipment (under 300 meters at first approach)
- Effluent flow sufficient at night (min 10-15 l / sec) and sufficiently stable
- Energy used on low temperature facilities
- If necessary: noise attenuation devices
- In case of treatment plant in immediate downstream: verify that water temperature after heat recovery does not cause disruption
Key figures illustrating Solution deployment and results
- 150,000 kWh fossil energy saved per year.
- A 30 to 80 % increase in the renewable energy rate.
- A 60 % decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
- 280 metric tons of CO2 saved per year.
Performance, impact and results
Replacing fossil fuel energy emitting GHG by a renewable energy , recovery of a local energy (local loop)
Competitive solution allowing energy costs control
Reliable solution ensuring significant energy productivity throughout the year, better thermal performance control

We're glad you're visiting us today. In these days we believe that "The Spirit of God is reaching people everywhere with the love of Jesus."
We are a ministry based in Crescent City, CA. Our purpose is to live in unity with our loving Father as He reaches people everywhere with the love of Jesus. We do this by first knowing and experiencing his love and then sharing this love we have with others.
You can learn more about our ministry by being a guest at our weekly service here in Crescent City, CA. or join us from home wherever you are with our weekly radio and online service.

Do you need prayer for emotional or physical healing, Marriage, family, financial help to receive forgiveness or some other need?
Use the form below to submit your prayer request in the form below and we will pray for you. Do you need forgiveness? Visit our Meet Jesus prayer page to pray with us.
I grew up in a family where there was a mixture of Bible reading, church attendance, and times of half- hearted as well as desperate prayer, amidst chaos, dysfunction and alcoholism. This I believe is typical of many American homes. Looking back at these times, I see that the Father was continually visiting our family with His love. When we are not faithful, when we can't help ourselves he seeks after and saves us!
Though I had been exposed to many different types of organized church and numerous presentations of the gospel, I was truly born again in 1999 when I sensed Jesus speak the gospel to me. Did I call upon the Lord? Yes. Did He call me? Yes. These last sixteen years have been a journey for me as my Father has used my life to minister healing and salvation to many while healing and delivering me from dead works and harmful mindsets from my past; daily I am experiencing the depth and greatness of my Father's love for me in His Son. As I receive His love, I extend it to others.

This year I participated in the second annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. It was really stressful! And fun. But mostly stressful!
I'm always hesitant to send cookies through the mail because I'm very forgetful and sometimes a nut or bolt falls off into the package. So embarrassing! I constantly worry: "Did I forget to include the recipe?" "Are the cookies even IN the package?" "Where did the screw on the side of my neck go???"
Also, since I can't taste the cookies I make, it's a total guess if the recipe is good enough to send to three amazing food bloggers. And that's stressful.
But fun! I'm a robot with a lot of emotions.
It's all worth it though, to receive three packages of AMAZING (I wish I could capitalize capitalized letters to prove my point) cookies from other food bloggers: Cherry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies from Kettler Cuisine, Spicy Molasses Cookies from La Aguacate, and Candy Cane Macaroons from Mother Thyme.
I cannot emphasize how utterly amazing all three of these cookies were. For real. Mine pale in comparison. I'm definitely making all of these recipes soon. I'm afraid I'm addicted.
And I got to send cookies to three stunning bloggers as well! Check out Katie's Cucina, The Mexigarian, and Food Ramblings!
Coffee Snickerdoodles
makes 4 dozen
adapted from allrecipes and inspired by The Kitchen is My Playground
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups + 3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp instant coffee
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or Silpat!).
2. Grind the instant coffee into powder. I put it in a plastic bag and smashed it to smithereens with the smooth side of a meat mallet. Set the powder aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and 1-1/2 cups sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. In a small bowl, combine remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and the ground cinnamon. Roll the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized balls and completely coat the cookies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Place on the cookie sheet 1-1/2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Let set on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Key Points:
- Day three of the Anglo Irish Bank trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court
- Former chairman Seán FitzPatrick, and former executives Patrick Whelan and William McAteer have pleaded not guilty to providing unlawful financial assistance to 16 people to buy shares in the bank
- Recap of Day Two updates here
16.10. The trial ended for the weekend at 3.45pm. Seán Quinn sat in court all day and will have to return on Monday to begin his evidence.
The court earlier heard that from November 2007 to July 2008 the Quinn Group borrowed €1.975 billion from Anglo in order to service margin calls on Contracts For Difference.
SC Michael O'Higgins asked: "It's an awful lot of money isn't it?" Mr McCaffrey agreed.
The barrister said that Morgan Stanley was brought in to "clean up the awful mess" that Quinn and Anglo found themselves in.
He said: "Part of Morgan Stanley's brief was to try and get the toothpaste back into the tube. I'm suggesting they were brought in to clean up the awful mess."
Mr McCaffrey said that this was not an accurate description of the law firm's brief.
15.45. Pat Whelan's barrister, Brendan Grehan SC, finished his cross-examination of Liam McCaffrey at 2.45pm.
His questioning of the former Quinn group CEO lasted over three hours.
"Would you agree that Seán Quinn lost €2.4bn on this spectacular punt on CFDs?", Mr Grehan asked Mr McCaffrey.
"He paid a very high price for investing in that bank," replied the former Quinn group CEO.
"He paid a very high price for investing in CFDs. That can't be called investing," counsel said.
"It's a matter of terminology," was the final response from Mr McCaffrey
Before this Mr Grehan told the court that after the unwinding of the CFD position in July and the subsequent press announcement, the price of Anglo stocks recovered and "Mr Quinn came back for another rattle".
As evidence of this Mr Grehan exhibited a letter from Seán Quinn to David Drumm on 26 July 2008.
In this letter, Mr Quinn wrote: "I'm not sure we were treated fairly. We were in effect forced to sell the shares regardless of market price on the downside while the purchasers were given a maximum price.
"I feel that the Banks insistence on the sale was detrimental to our position. I'm sure that your motivation was to protect the Bank and by definition our holding of it.
"There seemed to be a degree of panic driving the process.
"After a heated discussion on Friday I call you back to say we should all consider it over the weekend, however the approach from Anglo on Monday morning was just as aggressive and you walked out of the telephone call. I called you later that day but my call was not returned."
15:00. The trial resumed at 2.14pm when Brendan Grehan SC continued to question the former CEO of the Quinn Group, Liam McCaffrey.
Mr McCaffrey wrote in a letter: "I was told by Anglo they had taken legal advice to clear the transaction and therefore presumed that no issues were raised as regards it legality.
"Normal practice in banking followed by Anglo and others is that they would check the legality of the transaction.
"In addition Morgan Stanley (who were executing the transaction) were experts in this type of transaction and I would have relied on them to raise any concerns they may have had as regards the legality of the transaction.
"I was also aware that the Financial Regulator was familiar with the transactions. However they raised no concerns with us as regards legality."
They raised no objections to us, Mr McCaffrey told the court.
"He was more positive than he had been in March" is how Mr McCaffrey described in July the attitude of Con Horan to the CFD unwinding.
A press release issued on 15 July, 2008 by the Quinn family was displayed to the jury.
"They are in the process of unwinding their interests held in AIB through CFDs and as part of this process individual family members are purchasing long holdings in the bank's ordinary shares which will represent close to 15 per cent of Anglo Irish Bank's ordinary shares capital.
"The family regards these shareholdings in Anglo Irish Bank as long term holdings with significant opportunity for capital growth.
"In recent years we've been highly impressed with Anglo's ability to outperform the banking sector in terms of profit growth and we are confident this trend can be maintained over the longer term notwithstanding the current difficulties being experienced in international banking."
Mr McCaffrey described his relationship with Mr Whelan as "a good professional" one and said both men had "a high degree of mutual regard for each other".
The share price began to climb after the execution of the July transaction, back to the "lofty heights" of in and around €7.
"A bit like one of those lines on a hospital monitor, it goes flat in the end," Mr Grehan said of the plot of a graph of the Anglo share price in 2008.
13.30. "The whole thing at this stage was a house of cards. The whole thing could come crashing down," Mr Grehan tells Mr McCaffrey, describing Quinn's position with Anglo in 2008.
The former CEO of Quinn Group disagreed, saying: "We had large debts and covenant problems. The Quinn Group had no liquidity issue. Quinn Group had substantial debts.
"Many profitable companies have substantial debts. That doesn't mean they will come crashing down. The ratio of profit to debt was not exceptional."
The court has seen an email sent on 14 July 2008 from Anglo to Mr McCaffrey.
The brief email states: "Although Anglo have confirmed that FR are happy with transaction, can you put in a call with Con Horan out of courtesy?"
Mr McCaffrey said he called the Financial Regulator and: "spoke to Con out of courtesy. He seemed reasonably well briefed on what was happening. I said there would be a press release when the shares go long."
"He was positive about the matter, is that right," counsel asked.
"You were happy with that comfort from him that what was happening was in order and above board?"
"I was", the witness replied.
The trial has now broken for lunch. Mr McCaffrey will return to the witness box for further cross-examination at 2pm.
13.15 The court heard that Mr Quinn's stake in Anglo, through CFDs, went from 24% to 29.3% between September 2007 and Easter 2008.
Mr McCaffrey met the financial regulator on 31 March 2008, along with Colin Morgan from Quinn Insurance Ltd.
Con Horan, described as "second in command" with the financial regulator, was also there.
The minutes of that meeting, again displayed to the court via the document scanner, state that Mr McCaffrey told the regulator of the company's plans to unwind the CFD holding in Anglo and how a press release would be released on the morning of the transaction day.
The minutes state: "In terms of cash amounts involved closing CFDs would free up margin. This combined with borrowings from Anglo of €460 million would allow a long position of some €900 million to be achieved.
"It is anticipated that about 50 per cent of this could be refinanced within two months - discussions are on-going with Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse."
Mr Grehan asked: "As far as you were concerned the financial regulator were four square behind it (the deal to unwind the CFDs)?" Mr McCaffrey agreed with this.
Mr Grehan had a draft letter sent on 19 May 2008 from Mr McCaffrey addressed to Con Horan but beginning "Dear Patrick".
Describing a number of transactions in 2007 and early 2008 which were "not subject to proper due diligence" the letter continues: "We have brought these transactions to the attention of the Financiers. They require comfort from the Financial Regular as whether any action is envisaged against Quinn Insurance that could impact its ability to continue to trade as usual.
"You have approved this repayment plan subject to the provision that, should equity markets improve, we will accelerate repayments.
"On this basis we would appreciate acknowledgement that the Financial Regulator is aware of the transactions and the actions taken by Quinn Insurance as outlined above and does not envisage taking any action that could impact the ability of the Company to trade as normal."
Mr Grehan put to the witness that this draft letter presented "a very sanitised version of events" that were subject of the Financial Regulator's investigation.
He said that the letter contains "no mention that quite an extraordinary amount of money had to be borrowed from Anglo to replenish the coffers of the Quinn group".
Mr McCaffrey disagreed and said all the transactions with Anglo were disclosed.
12.30: Mr Grehan asked Mr McCaffrey about a letter from Anglo referring to an agreement made with the Quinn group to reduce a €500m debt to the bank by selling off a portfolio of properties in Prague, Istanbul, England and Russia.
"Did any of these sales take place?" counsel has asked.
"No," replied the former CEO of Quinn group.
On 28 February 2008, a meeting took place between Con Horan, financial regulator Patrick Neary and Seán Quinn in which Mr Neary said he was concerned about the situation between Anglo and Quinn.
Mr Quinn said that he deeply regretted the situation and believed that "Seán Quinn needed to be reined in", referring to himself.
He told the meeting he believed it would be a mistake to sell off the CFD position in "an uncontrolled fashion and this would not be in anybody's interest".
Mr Grehan said that the collapse of Bear Stearns on St Patrick's Day 2008 significantly changed the situation for Mr Quinn.
Before this, counsel said, "Seán Quinn was able to tell the regulator 'I'm not going to sell shares'."
"No one was able to tell Seán Quinn what to do until the St Patrick's Day Massacre," he said.
On the following day, Mr McCaffrey wrote a letter to Anglo referring to the advance of a €220 million facility to Quinn Finance Limited.
In the letter, displayed to the jury through the use of a document scanner and the numerous computer terminals in the court room, he wrote: "I can confirm that as additional comfort to the security on this facility the Quinn family are prepared to support their personal guarantees by giving Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc. physical custody of their shares in Quinn Group (ROI) Limited."
"As a further measure of comfort Quinn Group (ROI) Limited will not incur any further indebtedness within the Group without the prior permission of Anglo Irish Bank."
Mr Grehan has described this as the Quinn family handing over "the keys of the shop" to the bank.
Mr McCaffrey responded that he did not think this letter significantly altered the security on the loan, stating "It's a matter of degree".
11.30: The case is progressing swiftly with four witnesses called already and 99 remaining. Again it is standing room only in Court 19.
This may be because one of the most recognisable names on the witness list, Seán Quinn, is expected to give evidence today. The Cavan businessman is already in court and sitting behind the jury box.
He will have to wait until later to take the stand however as his former CEO, Liam McCaffrey, is still being cross-examined by counsel for Pat Whelan.
Mr McCaffrey is continuing to explain the large amounts of money Mr Quinn had to pay out in "margin calls" when his investment position in Anglo began to go wrong.
Mr McCaffrey agreed with Brendan Grehan SC that Mr Quinn was willing to take money from all the various Quinn companies to fund these margin calls.
The witness has also confirmed that in February 2008 the Financial Regulator was unhappy with Mr Quinn over his financial management of inter-company loans used to fund the margin calls.
Mr McCaffrey agreed that Mr Quinn was fined a record €3.5m by the regulator for this.

This is a very simple and easy recipe of oven roast peppers to have always handy in the refrigerator. These oven roast peppers can be kept in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and used on top of green salad or as a side dish. It is not only colorful but very tasty.
2~3 lb of mini bell peppers, yellow, red and orange
10~15 garlic cloves (you can cut on the amount if you are not a garlic fan)
1~2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon dry parsley
1 teaspoon dry basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Remove the seeds and the stem from the peppers, peel the garlic and slice.
In a big bowl mix all the ingredients together by gently tossing the peppers.
Place the peppers in an oven safe dish for 20~25 minutes at 350F.
Let is cool and serve.
On my salad, I just add a little balsamic vinegar since the peppers already have olive oil, salt and pepper, it makes a good salad look even better.
Did you know that red peppers contain more vitamin C, lycopene and carotene than green peppers? Did you know that paprika, a spice used in many culinary dishes is made from grinding dry bell peppers.
Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes and have a great week!

These look so yummy and so does the salad. I had to pop down and see what I had missed. Love the red bean buns. Joni my sister at Red Couch Recipes and I used to do oriental feasts when we were in college and I remember making these. It has been years. I will have to get at that again. It is fun to have your memory jogged about what you used to make.
Juliana your vegetabkes look awesome a yummy! gloria
Love your colorful salad! Our family prefers red and yellow peppers to green peppers because they are sweeter.
Juliana, what a beautiful, colorful dish. I don't think I'v ever seen mini bell peppers of all colors outside of ones on my plant, but they usually haven;t turned color yet. regardless, chpping up large ones would suffice (i hope) 🙂 BTW, those red bean buns below look amazing! I'm a bun fan to the highest degree, baked, steamed..whatever!
This is a very interesting point of view. Your blog is refreshing, but I wish one could find more content, though. I am looking forward to reading more from you. Keep up the good work. thanks.
I've been looking through heirloom plant lists lately to try and decide what to grow this spring/summer, and I think I'll have to see if I can grow something like this. Delicious and cute 🙂
I love all veggies roasted & this is one tasty dish!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,..Colourful & vibrant colours!
I just love the color of the peppers and their sweet flavor. We still have some blooms on our sweet peppers in the garden so I'm hoping for a few more before summer ends.
I love roasted peppers and do it often. Your salad looks yummy!
Roasted red peppers are so delicious no matter how you cook them…roasted, stove flame or grilled. Your photos are mouth-watering and inspiring. I want to get my fork and dig right in!
it must be delicious! I'll try it in my salad! 😀
Love these – so versatile and so flavorful – they make just about anything taste better, pluse the color is awesome.

The present invention relates to a modular, field-adjustable, linear lighting system in which one fixture universally accepts almost any size or shape of prefabricated tubular lamp.
Traditionally, tubular fluorescent lighting products which are utilized to provide a continuous uninterrupted line of light for both curved and straight lighting applications can be separated into three categories:
1). Fixtures and systems which use standardized straight tubular lamps in novel ways (either by overlapping, staggering or angling) to both navigate curved and straight architectural details, and overcome the problems created by the non-illuminated lamp end(s).
2). Fixtures and systems which utilize straight tubular lamps (e.g., butt-ended cold cathode fluorescent lamps) which, through their unique construction, do not exhibit the typical non-illuminated lamp end(s), thus providing continuous even illumination from one end of the lamp body to the other, allowing end-to-end installation. These straight lengths are configured in various ways, e.g., angled or overlapped to conform to curved and/or straight architectural requirements.
3). Fixtures and systems which utilize the uniquely constructed lamps described in the paragraph above in which the lamps may also be made as custom or standardized straight, bent or custom-curved elements that can conform to almost any architectural or design requirement.
Examples of systems which utilize standardized straight tubular lamps and fixtures described in category #1 would include a simple staggered fluorescent fixture, such as the one currently manufactured by Bartco. The non-illuminated ends of the lamp are compensated by overlapping the tubular lamp body. This type of system could be used for straight or very gently curved applications, the length of the standardized lamp determining the minimum radius on which they can be installed. Systems which utilize a staggered lamp configuration suffer from overly bright areas of illumination where the lamps overlap, and can produce a pattern of alternating brightness when the fixtures are used in an indirect application. Additionally, because the lamps are configured side-by-side, and not in a true linear array, even the untrained eye can see that the surfaces closest to each lamp are more brightly illuminated than those even slightly farther away. That is, where tubular lamps are staggered side by side, the cove will exhibit uneven light distribution. The lamps closest to the back of the cove will create a lower-brightness light pattern at the front of the cove, and lamps closest to the front of the cove will produce a lower-brightness light pattern at the back of the cove.
Some manufacturers utilize smaller biax or compact-fluorescent lamps in an overlapping or non-overlapping placed array. In the case of this type of lamp, only one end of the lamp is not illuminated. This type of lamp is essentially a "U" shaped tubular fluorescent that has an exceedingly small area in which the lamp returns on itself, giving it the appearance of twin lamps, side by side. To conceal the non-illuminated portion of the lamp that accommodates the lamp base, these lamps can be mounted in an overlapping fashion in which the illuminated end of one lamp conceals the non-illuminated end of the adjacent lamp. These lamps can be installed on fixtures that are either straight, semi-flexible, or segmented with a swiveling feature, allowing the fixture itself to be field-curved to the desired shape. Examples of this type of fixture are manufactured by Belfer, Inc. Each lamp is attached either at a tangent to a semi-flexible curvable element or to a curvable, swiveling, segmented element. The curvable elements are designed to accommodate a plurality of straight, small lamps and usually contain the power supplies which operate the lamps. The disadvantages of the above-referenced system are that the non-overlapping lamp configuration exhibits dark spots and shadowing between the lamps, and the overlapping system is not as maximally efficient due to the relatively high lamp quantities and corresponding high wattage densities required by the overlapping feature.
Examples of systems that utilize straight tubular lamps and fixtures described in category #2 would include a cold cathode fluorescent lighting system shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,454,431, incorporated herein by reference. There, a lighting system having self-contained aluminum-extrusion fixtures accept a variety of standardized lamp lengths. The standardization of the fixture and lamp sizes minimizes manufacturing and project design expenses. The lamps are uniquely constructed to provide uniform illumination from one end of the lamp to the other. The lamp base and cathode that would normally create a non-illuminated space at each end of the lamp has been moved behind and underneath the lamp, allowing continuous illumination at each end of the lamp body. The fixtures, and correspondingly, the lamps, may be arranged end-to-end, producing a continuous shadow and gap-free line of light. To transition slight curvatures, fixtures can be installed at angles to one another. Depending upon the radius required and the most minimal lamp length, a limited variety of very large gentle radii can be accommodated. Smaller radii and complex curvilinear shapes cannot be accommodated. This is an inherent disadvantage of the system. It is not offered as a curved or bent fixture that could accommodate curved or bent lamps needed for more complex and curved architectural requirements.
Another example of a fixture of this type is the Seamlessline fixture, manufactured by Nippo Inc. This fixture utilizes a special standardized fluorescent lamp, which is manufactured to provide complete illumination of the tubular lamp body. Again, lamps can be installed to transition gradual curves depending upon the radius required and the most minimal lamp length. The lamp utilized in this type of fixture is of the "hot cathode" design. The lamp life is typically 12,000 hours, far less than the 50,000 hour cold cathode fluorescent lamp. This system is offered in straight lengths only.
Examples of systems that utilize tubular lamps and fixtures described in category #3 would include a cold cathode fluorescent lighting system manufactured by Cathode Lighting Systems. This is a component-based system which is comprised of custom-made lamps and lamp components that can either be field assembled or partially factory assembled utilizing standard electrical conduits, conduit connectors and wiring. The lamps can be fabricated to nearly any shape as desired, either straight, curved or bent. Each of the components is shipped separately to the installation site where a contractor installs the conduit and wiring between the lampholder and ballasts. These systems are almost always field-assembled.
A disadvantage of the system is that it is costly to install, and must be field-assembled from a variety of components (some provided by the lighting manufacturer, and some provided by the installing contractor). The lampholders retain and electrically connect the ends of adjacent lamps to the lamp ballast(s). This assures the spacing between lamp ends is always maintained at the proper dimension. On the other hand, because the lampholders retain the ends of adjacent lamps, there is little room for adjustment of the system if adjustment is required. The system is essentially built to a fixed dimension, and each lamp dimension and placement is dependent upon the adjacent segment. Any readjustment of lampholder positioning or spacing of an individual segment would either break the lamp(s), or require a redesign of the lamp(s) or system. Because field conditions vary, the ability to reposition the system and manipulate the spacing of the lamps ends would be advantageous.
Another cold cathode lighting system has been suggested where a continuous channel which contains the power supply and wiring for the lamp is custom-built to the exact shape of the lamp. An example of this system is manufactured by Neotek, Inc. The channel is assembled using a combination of extruded shapes and/or flat metal elements that can be factory-fabricated to form straight, curved or bent elements, to follow the shape of the custom-made lamp. These fixtures do not contain lampholders, which in almost all tubular light fixtures, connect the lamp (via a lamp base) to the power supply. Lamp base(s) and lampholder(s) type fixtures allow easy insertion and removal of a lamp, without any disassembly of the fixture. Rather, in the Neotek fixture, lamps are glued to the top portion of the snap-on channel and are connected to the power supply via a flexible conductor. The disadvantages of this product include the following:
A). A uniquely shaped or dimensioned custom channel must be factory-built for each unique lamp shape, requiring substantial labor, and if the fixture is dimensionally incorrect, it cannot be field-adjusted, it must be remade, along with the lamp.
B). Because the lamp is glued to the removable top portion of the channel and does not utilize traditional lamp bases and lampholders, if a lamp needs replacement, an entire new glued-together top channel and lamp assembly must be fabricated.
C). There are some limitations as to how small a radius or acute angle this type of (or any type of metallic channel-based) fixture can be manufactured to duplicate. These limitations are based on the physical properties of the material, the overall size of the channel and the limitations of the manufacturing techniques.
D). If field conditions dictate that a few fixtures in a predetermined array length require more separation between fixtures, these open-ended fixtures must be enclosed at each end, and like almost all linear fixtures (e.g. the fixture described in the '431 patent, which are always enclosed at each end, and allow concealed wiring from one fixture to the next, via standard electrical knockouts and standardized electrical fittings) will require external rerouting of the internal wiring, via electrical conduit, from one fixture to the next.
There is a desire for a fixture that can accommodate virtually any size or shape tubular lamp, essentially a "one size fits all" fixture. Also desired is an uncomplicated method of installing the desired fixture, such that a contractor can install the fixtures, install the lamps within the fixtures, and electrically connect the fixtures to each other, and electrical power, without any disassembly of the fixture whatsoever. Also desired is a fixture that can be field-adjusted or spaced at a variety of distances or orientations from each adjacent fixture without the requirement of building additional conduits or raceways to electrically connect one fixture to the next.
The present invention overcomes the problems of the prior art by providing a modular and flexible tubular lighting fixture system. The system combines pre-fabricated fixture elements connected by flexible elements to form a fluorescent light fixture which can be custom fit for easy installation. The system may advantageously include a plurality of lamps having any of a variety of lamp shapes, curves, colors, and/or sizes, which can be custom made to accommodate a particular location. The lighting system may be extremely easy to install when compared with other similar products.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a modular system for generating light has a plurality of fixtures. Each fixture has a plurality of casings electrically connected by a flexible special power cable, at least one tubular fluorescent lamp supported by the casings, and a ballast or ballasts for providing power to the lamp(s). Preferably, the fixtures are electrically connected together in parallel, using flexible power cord segments received at each end of the fixtures. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the fixture can be mounted to a surface while completely assembled, electrically connected to adjacent fixtures and/or the primary circuit, with or without the lamp installed, and requires no disassembly during this process. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, each fixture functions as an independent element, and the elements combine to provide a continuous line of light. In a preferred embodiment, the fixtures do not need to be mechanically fastened to one another, or connected with additional electrical conduits to provide a safe interior wire passageway from one fixture to the next. Rather, an electrical connection is made externally from fixture to fixture via a series of flexible, modular, multi-pole electrical connectors.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a unique multi-conductor special power cable is used to connect the casings that enclose the lampholders and the lamp ballast(s). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the special power cable is a molded polymeric cable that contains all of the conductors necessary to carry line-voltage electricity (and or the low-voltage DMX dimming signal) to the lamp ballast(s), and a special high-voltage conductor (or conductors) which carry the high-voltage electricity from the ballast(s) to the lamp(s). The special power cable is very flexible, it can be curved to any suitable radius, or bent to any suitable angle, or may be coiled to make the overall length of the fixture shorter. Unlike traditional flexible metallic conduit, the preferred special power cable will not unravel when subjected to forcefull extension and, unlike flexible non-metallic conduit, offers a smaller, more discreet footprint, and the special power cable will not "spring back" when curved into a shape, nor will it hold the memory of the coiled shape in which it is bulk packaged.
In accordance with an exemplary method for installing the lighting system, a custom lamp is pre-manufactured to a desired length or shape. The uncomplicated installation process may involve arranging a series of fixtures to match the approximate lamp shape or length, snapping the lamp into a lampholder on the fixture, positioning a lamp retaining clip around the lamp body, fastening the fixture to the mounting surface, and coupling the flexible electrical connectors to the adjoining fixture or power feed.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention, in which:
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate like elements, there is shown in
Each lamp (e.g. cold cathode fluorescent lamp) 101 has a tubular light transmitting body with opaque or light-emitting ends 112. In the system 100 illustrated in
As shown in
Lamps 101, 201, etc. may be of any suitable customized shape and size in accordance with the invention, and therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific arrangements 100, 200 shown in the drawings. For purposes of simplification of discussion, most of the description herein will refer to the first exemplary lighting system 100 and its components, but it should be understood that the components may be interchangeable to form other modular lighting systems as desired. Even within a single system 100, the lamps 101 may comprise many shapes and sizes.
Exemplary systems may have either an individual fixture as shown in
The modular fixtures 102, when mounted back-to-back as shown in
In accordance with the present invention, electrical connection between two adjacent fixtures 102 is made using the modular connectors 107, 207 (
At one end of the lighting system 100, the modular connector 107 does not have a mate, as what would be the mating connector 207 is connected to a power source 106 (
As shown in
In addition, as shown in
Next, with reference to
Preferably each casing enclosure 102 a, 102 b, 102 c has a wire clip 105 (
As shown in
With reference to
As required by the National Electric Code, all luminaires must have suitable mounting provisions. Most channel-type fixtures of the type described above are fastened to a surface by removing the cover of the fixture and screwing or bolting through the bottom inner surface of the fixture to the mounting surface, and then replacing the enclosure cover and the lamp. Because non-disassembly of the fixture during installation is very desirable and minimizes labor, the casings 102 a, 102 b, 102 c in the fixture may contain a mounting surface 109 for mounting the fixture 102 to a surface. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the mounting surface 109 is a small plate that extends outwardly from a bottom of each side of the casing 102 a and which has at least one opening for receiving a screw (see
Turning to
The special power cable 103 can be a flexible molded cable with a flexible jacket 31, and preferably includes all of the conductors necessary to power the ballasts 120 and correspondingly the lamps 101. The individual conductive wires 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (
As shown in
Other exemplary systems are depicted in
The easy installation of lighting systems, such as exemplary systems 100, 200, is another important advantage of the present invention.
Next, at step 402, fixtures 102 are arranged at the project site in the approximate shape of the lamps 101 to be installed. First and second sides of each special power cable section 103 extend from the middle casing 102 b to each of the end casings 102 a, 102 c. Because the special power cable sections 103 are flexible, changes in location of the fixtures 102 is not critical as the special power cable 103 can be either adjusted or looped (to reduce the overall length) without sacrificing efficiency (see
In step 403, the lamps 101, 201 are snapped into place in the corresponding fixtures. Here, the lamp ends (which have integral lamp bases) are snapped into a lampholder within the casings at each end of the fixture. Next, at step 404, the wire clips 105 are swiveled 90 degrees up from horizontal and into place over the lamp body. As the system 100 begins to take shape, minor adjustments can be made in the positioning of the fixtures 102 until the overall system shape is created. At step 405, the fixtures are mechanically fastened using the mounting plates 109 attached to the underside of each casing (of which three comprise a fixture).
Finally, at step 406, once each lamp 101 and fixture is fastened in place, the electrical connections between each adjacent fixture 102, 202 are completed such that female modular connections 107 are mated with male modular connections 207 to form a continuous fixture array. In addition, the modular female connection end 107 of the lighting array is capped with a cap 108 at a first end, and connected to a power source 106 at a second end. Finally, power may be applied to the system 100.
The above description and drawings are only illustrative of preferred embodiments which can achieve the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention. It is not intended that the invention be limited to the embodiments shown and described herein. For example, the invention has been described with respect to cold cathode lamps, but it may be used with a variety of lighting systems, including standard fluorescent or other tubular lamps.
Modifications of the invention coming within the spirit and scope of the following claims are to be considered part of the present invention.

Last Friday Resources First Foundation's Director of Development & Outreach, Melissa O'Neal and I, Amos P. Eno, Director of Communications & Media, visited Bacon Farm Maple Products in Sidney, Maine to learn more about this sweet, sustainable natural resource. Now owned and operated by Kevin and Shelley Bacon, the farm has been in the Bacon family for six generations.
On that crisp winter morning with bright white snow under foot and clear blue skies over head, Kevin gave us a tour of two of their sugar bushes. Sugar bush is the term used to describe a grove of tapped maple trees – each one of which can have hundreds of taps – and most sugar makers, like the Bacon's, have several groves with thousands of taps combined.
During the tour, Kevin showed us how to tap one of those maple trees, which you can see in this video.
Stay tuned for more from this series on Kevin and Shelley Bacon, their farm operations and the maple sugar industry as a whole. See Part II here.
Amos P. Eno is the Director of Communications and Media for Resources First Foundation and the Private Landowner Network. This blog will help you understand why we do what we do and inform you of the current happenings in our focus area.
Read more about Amos P. Eno.
After studying Political Science at Colorado College, Amos moved back to Maine to work for Angus King's Senate Campaign in the summer of 2012, then moved to Washington, D.C. to work as an intern for Senator Susan Collins. In 2013, he moved back to Maine and began working for RFF to further his passion for conservation and the outdoors. He has also done volunteer trail maintenance on the Bliss Woods trails, on which the New England Forestry Foundation holds an easement, and as a Casco Baykeeper for Friends of Casco Bay.

PUTNAM COUNTY, Tenn. - Police in Putnam County, Tennessee have not been dealing with a rash of robberies, but rather, a rash of goat calls.
Edward Lane called police last week, reporting a man in the area who could be heard screaming for help. When police arrived, they heard similar calls.
After an investigation, police found it was not a human in distress, but a goat in distress.
"We could hear what appeared to be a man screaming for help." said Deputy Will Page. "It was actually coming from a goat that was tied to a fence," he wrote in his police report.
Deputies in the area have responded to similar calls in the past.
Goats sounding like humans have turned into viral phenomenons. Compilations are often favorites on YouTube.

Something that would allow me to >> control an external Unix program via its stdin/stdout/stderr? > > System.Process does what you want, I think: It might not. Expect uses pseudottys (cf. openpty()), and select(). System.Process supports what you might think of as the "naive" model, using pipes for the I/O device and making some simplifying assumptions about the behavior of the external program. It's more portable and works for many common cases, at least the popen() and system() usages that probably account for 98 percent of process invocations. But once you need output from a process _before_ it exits, you will encounter the problem with pipes: output to a pipe is normally block buffered, so it doesn't reliably get to the pipe on time. The C I/O library treats a pty device like a tty and line buffers output. (But unfortunately, a pty device is not just a pipe with that single property - I wouldn't replace pipes with ptys just as a matter of course, because depending on the OS they may do things like discard date on overflow, or they may be a severely limited system resource.) select() also helps with another potential problem, when the same process is writing to two or more pipes, which are fixed size devices. In GHC, I suppose the potential deadlock might similarly be avoided using threads. I don't know if GHC supports openpty() - having a little trouble getting data from its web site this morning. But of course there's more to Expect than just the raw system calls. Donn

Impact of Variation in Pause Time and Network Load in AODV and AOMDV Protocols
A MANET is a collection of mobile nodes by wireless links forming a dynamic topology without any network infrastructure such as routers, servers, access points/cables or centralized administration. The communication within the network is facilitated through a protocol which discovers routes between nodes. The two major classifications of routing protocols are unipath and multipath. In this paper, the performance comparison of widely used on-demand unipath and multipath routing protocols such as AODV and AOMDV is carried out in terms of variation in pause time and network load under RWM in CBR Traffic.

Evan Hammonds looks at the end of the Kentucky Cup and its implications for the industry.
In order to protect overnight purses, Turfway Park has reduced the purse for the grade II Lane's End Spiral Stakes to $500,000. In recent years, the Spiral, a 1 1/8-mile event for 3-year-olds on the Triple Crown trail, has gone for $600,000.
