Ollie Robinson recorded career-best first-class figures as his impressive start to life with Sussex continued.
But it needed an equally commendable contribution from team mate Luke Wells to keep the home side in a promising position against Warwickshire at Hove.
Wells passed 50 for the first time this season as the hosts reached 140-5 by close of the first day of this Championship tussle, 40 runs behind.
His undefeasted 73 at the top of the innings was invaluable on a day when no other batsman got past 35.
Warwickshire had earlier been bowled out for 180 after choosing to bat first with Robinson (6-33) taking the first six wickets to fall.
The former Yorkshire seamer had five by lunch – all taken in the space of 46 balls delivered up the slope from the Sea End – after Warwickshire had reached 35 without loss.
It was just my day. It could easily have been CJ's (Chris Jordan's) day. He bowled outstandingly.Ollie Robinson
Robinson removed openers Ian Westwood, caught by Steve Magoffin running in from fine leg, and Varun Chopra, held at second slip by Chris Jordan, in the same over.
Ateeq Javid was picked up by Ben Brown at the wicket for two before Robinson took two more wickets with successive balls.
He produced a beauty which left Laurie Evans (6), who edged to Brown, and then trapped former Sussex favourite Tim Ambrose right in front with his very next ball.
Robinson added the scalp of Rikki Clarke (11) soon after lunch before Jordan removed former England colleague Jonathan Trott, who played on attempting to pull.
Trott made 35 and looked back ruefully at the pitch as he departed.
There were suggestions of variable bounce and Warwickshire were not helped by the cloud which came over after they won the toss in bright, warm sunshine.
Keith Barker (24) and Jeetan Patel (16) added a useful 59 for the eighth wicket and a healthy supply of extras helped them towards their total of 180.
But batting was never easy and Magoffin tied up the tail by taking the last three wickets, helped by Craig Cachopa's fine catch low down at point to remove Barker.
Like Warwickshire, Sussex got off to a solid start with 46 on the board when Chris Nash edged the lively Clarke to Chopra at first slip for 17.
Sussex still looked comfortable at 115-3 but then lost three wickets for 14.
After 77 overs of seam, spinner Patel came on and claimed 3-20, including the stumping of Luke Wright for nought as he danced down the pitch.
But Wells stood firm as wickets tumbled around him.
Ollie Robsinon said:: "When I first got here, me and (bowling coach) Jon Lewis tweaked a few things in my run-up and with my action.
"But I just try and do the basics well in training. Hit a good length, a little bit of swing, a little bit of nibble.
"On a wicket like this, if you hit a good area you normally get a few wickets. It was doing a bit.
"It was just my day. It could easily have been CJ's (Chris Jordan's) day. He bowled outstandingly.
"I wasn't even thinking about the wickets. I was just trying to keep bowling as long as possible.
"Joycey (skipper Ed Joyce) wanted to take me off after seven overs but then I got another one so I kept bowling.
"Then after lunch he said 'Can you carry on?' so I just kept bowling. I suppose when you are taking wickets you don't really tire too much. You still feel good.
"I kept trying to hit the deck hard and the wicket did the rest."

The Denver Broncos learned a hard Super Bowl lesson two years ago.
They went into the championship game with the NFL's top-ranked offense and got blown out.
So the Broncos changed the formula. They built a dominant defense. A defense, as it turns out, for a generation.
Linebacker Von Miller on Sunday led an onslaught that threw NFL most valuable player Cam Newton off his game and gave the Broncos a 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 at Levi's Stadium.
The victory made Hall of Fame-bound quarterback Peyton Manning a two-time Super Bowl champion and sent him off to ponder retirement after a 15-4 season.

The second that Tebow becomes the starting QB, will officially mark the rebuilding process.
Things are really setting up for another storybook season for Tebow. Team looks to be falling apart, injuries everywhere, struggling QB, underperforming defense, tough schedule early followed by easier schedule to come. Definitely can see a scenario where Tebow can come in and make some magic for this team and shock the football world again.
Who knows, we could be in for something special.
The second that Tebow becomes the starting QB, will officially mark the rebuilding process.
Tebow as the starter = lost season.
For Woody to draw fans it's come down to either playing Tim Tebow or a half-time show featuring dogs chasing frisbees.
did you not want to sign or could not understand why Plexi was not signed yet in another thread?
I am going to explain this can you feel it?
No matter who starts at qb without offensive weapons any qb will fail.
It is just that simple.
No act or mandate from god.
This would be the ultimate joke. This would be rock bottom as well
I can't wait, Tebow was great drama last year, its better than a 40-0 beating
the sooner they bench sanchez and go to tebow, the sooner woody will see he needs a new qb. and a new gm. and a new hc who values offense.
If Tebow time comes, Sanchez's era in NY officially comes to an end, and Rex and Tanny might as well get a head start and pack their belongings because they would have cashed their ticket out of town.
Tonight is MNF's 666th game, btw.
Is this the Afterlife? It's dark and I'm scared!!!

only to find you have limited options with your accommodation.
1. Start by choosing the most ideal resort location. The location can have a lot to determine when it comes to the environment
or the kind of ambience and atmosphere you enjoy during your stay. For formal or business travel, you should settle for a
location that is serene enough for you to run your conferences and meetings without much interruption. If you are travelling
for leisure and have a need to enjoy the stay to the maximum then choose a location that offers great views and activities.

Hooray! This morning my passport and visa for travel to the Republic of Zambia was FedEx'd from Washington DC. The International Reporting Project at the School of Advanced International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University has selected me as one of ten international media fellows to report on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in Zambia. The three week trip will happen in July and include stops in Germany and Ethiopia.
IRP notified me about a week before the GLAAD Award announcement but the official news release was about two weeks ago. Very excited and very grateful to be recognized by such a prestigious international fellowship and institution. I'll be reporting for various outlets and R20 from Zambia. I'm also pleased that my recent report on Zambia for The Atlantic went viral and encouraged more HIV/AIDS reporting from Zambia.
This would be my second international fellowship and third trip to the continent in the past 18 months. The first fellowship was a December 2011 trip to the high-level International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa in Addis Ababa sponsored by the Ethiopian government. I'm also scheduled to head overseas later this year on other projects. It's fantastic that IRP/SAIS has supported my work and other independent journalists. Thanks so much to everyone over the years who encouraged and supported me after leaving ABC News to become my own boss! #PraiseDance

Sherwood attains STEM Silver accreditation
- Sherwood Cricket Club currently fields five weekend senior sides. Our Saturday 1st XI and 2nd XI play 18 league matches in the Kent Regional League Divisions Championship East and 2B Central respectively, together with friendly games at the beginning and end of the season. We are hoping to set up a Saturday 3rd XI to play some friendly games.
The Sunday 1st XI plays 7 matches of league cricket in the Medway Area Sunday League and the remainder of its fixtures are friendly matches. The Sunday 2nd XI has a full fixture list of friendlies while the Bowmen is a development team, containing a mix of youth players and senior cricketers, which plays up to a dozen Sunday friendly matches.
On Thursday evenings in June and July, we put out a 'mixed ability' side in 20/20 matches against local organizations and clubs, starting at 5.30 pm.
- Sherwood Cricket Club boasts a vibrant Youth Section with our sides playing in the Readers Medway Youth League in all the age groups (Under 11 Hardball and Softball, Under 13, Under 15, and Under 17) and also in the Medway Youth Festival for Under 16 teams, which takes place in August. In 2013 we launched our Under 7 programme focusing on the development of our future generation of cricketers.
We have 90+ Youth members, starting as young as 5 years old, and many of our older Youth cricketers represent the Club at senior level in friendly and league matches. The future of Sherwood C.C. is our Youth Section, so we aim to provide a structured coaching programme and a positive playing environment which will help our Youth players to develop their personal and cricketing skills for use in later life.
- Sherwood is proud to host the Medway Girls Cricket Academy. We provide coaching and development for Girls of all ages to help them develop their skills in a safe and friendly environment. Girls from across Medway are welcome to join in and practice at the Sherwood grounds. Training takes place on a Monday evening from 6.30pm to 7.30pm during the season.
Our aim is to be able to enter teams into the Kent Women's & Girls leagues at different age groups - U11, U13 and U15 levels and to continue their development to enable them to continue playing cricket in Women's leagues across the county.
We wish them the best of luck in their inaugural season!

William Joseph Donovan's life was packed with personal drama. The son of poor Irish Catholic parents, he married into Protestant wealth and fought heroically in World War I, where he earned the nickname "Wild Bill" for his intense leadership and the Medal of Honor for his heroism. After the war he made millions as a Republican lawyer on Wall Street until FDR, a Democrat, tapped him to be his strategic intelligence chief. A charismatic leader, Donovan was revered by his secret agents. Yet at times he was reckless—risking his life unnecessarily in war zones, engaging in extramarital affairs that became fodder for his political enemies—and he endured heartbreaking tragedy when family members died at young ages.
Wild Bill Donovan reads like an action-packed spy thriller, with stories of daring young men and women in his OSS sneaking behind enemy lines for sabotage, breaking into Washington embassies to steal secrets, plotting to topple Adolf Hitler, and suffering brutal torture or death when they were captured by the Gestapo. It is also a tale of political intrigue, of infighting at the highest levels of government, of powerful men pitted against one another. Donovan fought enemies at home as often as the Axis abroad. Generals in the Pentagon plotted against him.
J. Edgar Hoover had FBI agents dig up dirt on him. Donovan stole secrets from the Soviets before the dawn of the Cold War and had intense battles with Winston Churchill and British spy chiefs over foreign turf. Separating fact from fiction, Waller investigates the successes and the occasional spectacular failures of Donovan's intelligence career.
It makes for a gripping and revealing portrait of this most controversial spymaster.

Here's something fun you can try at your holiday gatherings: As you're handing your brother-in-law a beer, hand him a chunk of chocolate to go with it. Strange but true: When chosen carefully, chocolate and beer taste great together, as I found out firsthand the other night in Fremont.
It was another crazy sold-out event staged by Beer Church, the charity arm of the Washington Beer Blog as a fundraiser for FamilyWorks. When Kendall Jones first told me about BitterSweet: Craft Beer + Chocolate, my first reaction was, "Dang! That's my son's 12th birthday!" My second reaction was, "He'll get over it!"
So through the back door of Fremont Brewing we went, into a dimly lit back room festooned with fairy lights, kegs and piles and piles of chocolate. A collaboration of Kendall, Theo Chocolate and eight local craft breweries produced 16 tastes, with each brewery presenting two beers: one specialty beer created using the by-products of chocolate making, and one off their regular menu, paired with a carefully-selected Theo Chocolate.
You probably missed the event, but you can try some of the pairings at home, and your palate will thank you. Most of these beers are a tad tough to find "to go," but you can buy a growler at the brewery and bring it home for a group tasting.
Here are a few of my faves:
Black Raven's Mole Brown Porter + Theo Milk Salted Almond
Fremont Brewing's Abominale + Theo Coconut Curry
Geortown Brewing's Lucille + Theo Orange
Two Beers Immersion Amber + Theo Dark Toasted Coconut
Especially that first one. Try it and up your Thanksgiving cool quotient.

IT Business Edge contributor Don Tennant spoke with Monty Hamilton, CEO of Atlanta-based Rural Sourcing Inc., shortly after the 2010 Outsourcing World Summit last month. Hamilton presented at the event, where he found high receptivity to the idea of outsourcing IT work to low-cost, non-urban areas in the U.S. as an alternative to offshore outsourcing.
Hamilton said RSI grew 300 percent last year, with outsourcing centers in Jonesboro, Ark., and Greensboro, N.C. His goal is to open 30 centers over the next five to six years, and his current focus is on Georgia and Iowa. RSI currently has about 15 clients, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. But the sweet spot, Hamilton said, is the midmarket.
"Those are the companies that are primarily going to have U.S.-based businesses," he said. "They're not going to have the patience or wherewithal or investment dollars to go make an offshore operation in India work. But they're going to have to figure out how to stretch their IT dollars and be more cost-efficient. For them, outsourcing is something they haven't done a lot, or even looked at in the past."

Isn't it exciting when you find something like that? I was so thrilled too!!
Jenn lives right down the road from me. I've been keeping up on her updates too. She has the cutest little house! Her husband dug up some lilac trees over the summer that were blocking a window and she sooo sweetly let me have them to transplant in my yard.

Hello! I'm a long time follower. I finally have something to contribute!
First off, congrats on the hardwood! We had something similar in our old house. We had an unfortunate doggie accident on our carpeted steps. Not wanting to clean it, and planning to pull up the carpet in the future anyway, we decided to rip it out. We were excited to find decent (if not beautiful) wood steps that looked much nicer than the carpet ever did.
My real contribution can be found at this link on my blog
We're restoring a 175 year old building to move my stationery shop to. I started cleaning my back stoop and the next thing I knew - I had a brick courtyard!!
Truly enjoy the things you post on your blog. Thanks for letting me share!

I am wondering what lurks under the vinyl here in my 1920 kitchen. I sure hope the wood is salvageable!
We're finishing the attic and trying to redo the washroom as well. Busy, messy days, aren't they?

10 Clues to the Modern Poisoner
Ever since I wrote my story of early 20th century toxicologists learning to catch killers, The Poisoner's Handbook, many people have asked me what has changed since then. The short answer is: not much as we might hope.
Contrary to what many people think, except in political killings, poisoners don't make much use of exotic new compounds. They use – as they always have – what's at hand. They kill for the same old reasons - for anger, jealousy possessiveness, greed. They are rare, as this analysis shows, farmore rare than other forms of killing. And that's probably the most important change. Poison homicides don't occur as often as they did a hundred years ago, mostly because scientists are better at solving these mysteries.
But if you're the kind of person who likes to be prepared against all possible harm, then I've put together this short list of warning signs based on a scatter of recent cases. Don't take them too seriously, as I said, this kind of thing is rare. But still, there's a few reasonable assumptions here. For instance, you should probably pay attention if:
1. Your bowl of Rice Krispies tastes like solvent.
In January, a southern California man poured the paint remover Goof Off into his wife's evening cereal snack. After swallowing a spoonful, she turned to her daughter saying "Something's in it. Something's in it." Her daughter called 911. When police came to the hospital, the husband fled the building (he was arrested later at a nearby convenience store). He pleaded guilty in March and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
2. The coffee in your morning cup turns green.
In March a Kentucky man was charged with poisoning his estranged wife's coffee. She called the police after she noticed the dark liquid in her cup had an oily greenish tint. A lab analysis found a sludge of rat poison in the bottom of the pot. He told the police that he was merely trying to make her a little sick. But she said friends had warned her that he planned to kill her after she started divorce proceedings.
3. Your coffee is, maybe, a little too bitter.
In 2010, a Long Island man pleaded guilty to killing his wife by putting cyanide in her coffee. The couple, who had two sons, had separated after he told her that he'd realized that he was gay. But he later told police he'd also realized that he didn't want her to be with anyone else.
4. Your iced tea is, maybe, a little too sweet.
In July, police brought murder charges against a Cleveland, Ohio woman, accusing her of poisoning her fiance with antifreeze in 2006. Although evidence of ethylene glycol – the key ingredient in antifreeze – was found early in the investigation, it took police years longer to build a conclusive case for the poisoning itself. Detectives said ethylene glycol, which is known both for its strong, sweet taste and ability to destroy the kidneys, was mixed into the victim's iced tea. She was ready, they said, for the relationship to be over.
5. Your mother mixes you up a cocktail when she has never done so before.
One of the more notorious recent poison killers, Stacy Castor of Clay, New York, was convicted of murder in 2007 for killing her husband with antifreeze. She then tried to frame her daughter for the crime, writing a fake suicidal confession, and serving the girlan unexpected cocktail of orange juice, soda, and crushed painkillers. The girl told police that the drink tasted "nasty" but she swallowed at her mother's urging. Her survival led to a break in the case.
6. Your husband insists that you take those "special" calcium supplements he's found for you.
In 2010, a Cleveland, Ohio doctor was found guilty of murdering his wife with cyanide, which he had carefully injected into her calcium supplements. His wife died in 2005 after she collapsed from the poisoning while driving and crashed her car. Before she crashed, she had told a friend that she felt increasingly ill and wondered if it was related to the mineral supplements her husband had provided.The investigation suggested that he was tired of being married.
7. Your wife works at a pharmaceutical laboratory where certain supplies have gone missing.
In March of last year, New Jersey prosecutors charged a Bristol Meyers Squibb chemist with poisoning her husband with thallium stolen from her employer. They were at the time going through a divorce. Thallium is a potent, systemic poison once widely used as a pesticide until it became considered too dangerous for general use. Today it's mostly found in manufacturing facilities only.
8. Your wife takes a sudden interest in growing her own salad greens.
In 2008, the wife of a Missouri police officer decided she was ready to end the marriage but didn't want to go through a divorce. Instead, she served her husband salad mixed with leaves from foxglove plants in the garden. Foxglove contains the compound digitalis which, in the right dose, can stop the heart. She'd researched the poison in the internet, police said, but she got the dose wrong anyway. Her husband survived and she pleaded guilty to assault in 2010.
9. Your jilted lover adds some secretly acquired "herbs" to food in your refrigerator.
After a London man broke off a 15-year affair and decided to get married, his ex-mistress used an old key to enter his home and add seeds from the monkshood plant (sometimes called the Devil's Helmet) to some leftover food in his refrigerator. The plant contains an extremely powerful neurotoxin. He died and his fiancee was in a coma for two days. The killer pleaded guilty in 2010 and was sentenced to life in prison.
10. A cautionary note. If you see serious warning signs and ignore them, you may want to leave a letter.
In 2008, Wisconsin resident Mark Jensen was convicted of murdering his wife Julie by spiking her wine with antifreeze. The actual death had occurred a decade earlier and was at first thought a suicide. Jensen had been having an affair at the time and angry divorce discussions were underway. But Jensen had left a letter in case of her death, detailing her husband's suspicious behavior. Wisconsin prosecutors were able get this "letter from the grave" admitted under a rule allowing evidence of the dead woman's state of mind in response to the suicide claims. Jensen was convicted of murder in 2008; the conviction was upheld in 2010.
And, finally: You begin to realize that your wife just knows way too much about poison. My husband hasn't let me pour him a cup of coffee since I wrote the book.

ORONO, Maine — The news that former UMaine football player and Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and then himself on Saturday was met with uniform reactions from his former coaches, teammates and a UMaine professor: Shock.
Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend, who was the mother of his 3-month-old daughter, and then drove to the Chief's practice facility, where he committed suicide, shooting himself in the head in front of General Manager Scott Pioli, Coach Romeo Crennel and other team personnel.
During his time at UMaine, Belcher was involved in Male Athletes Against Violence, a for-credit peer education class that Belcher enrolled in during the fall semester of 2007. The course typically draws more than 10 students per semester, usually varsity athletes, according to university spokeswoman Margaret Nagel.
Male Athletes Against Violence focuses on "issues of masculinity and violence," often sponsoring information tables around campus to raise awareness about violence and encourage college men to sign pledge cards — committing to educate themselves about violence, serve as good role models, support women's groups and help victims of violence.
"MAAV is an effort to involve men so that we can begin to understand that violence is very much a 'man's issue,'" according to a description of the group posted on UMaine's website.
Students who participate in MAAV also work in area schools, urging the prevention of bullying and violence among peers.
UMaine professor Sandy Caron, who founded the course in 2004 and continues to teach it, joined Belcher's former coaches and teammates in expressing shock over Belcher's actions on Saturday.
"This is a tragedy beyond comprehension and completely at odds with what the Male Athletes Against Violence peer education program stands for," Caron said in a statement released by the university on Sunday. "Our deepest sympathies are with Jovan and Kasandra's loved ones."
Caron did not return a message requesting a phone interview over the weekend.
Belcher's former coach at UMaine, Jack Cosgrove, said Saturday evening that Belcher's impact on the football program was "boundless," and that UMaine's "football family" is struggling to come to grips with what happened.
"I'm hard-pressed to find or recall a young man who had more of an impact in a positive way on his teammates and his football family in my time here," UMaine football coach Jack Cosgrove said Saturday. "He's truly one of the great stories in the program's history.
"I don't have any explanation or reason [for what happened]. I don't know, and I'm not going to try to speculate what happened here. But I think when you teach, you teach from a positive perspective, and we're going to hold on to the great memories that we have of Jovan," Cosgrove said Saturday.

Judge Says Sniffing Unencrypted WiFi Networks Is Not Wiretapping
from the if-it's-freely-available... deptThere's been a lot of discussion over the past few years concerning whether or not intercepting data on an open WiFi network is a form of "wiretapping." This has been a central issue in one of the legal challenges to Google's Street View cars collecting data from open WiFi networks. I've long argued that on such an open network, it shouldn't be wiretapping because it's wide open and available for anyone to see. Yes, that may be a security concern, but it's one that an individual user can deal with. It certainly shouldn't be illegal for someone to sniff that data. If you're broadcasting something free and clear and I then read it... how is that wiretapping? Unfortunately, last year a judge in a case related to Google's Street View capturing came to the opposite conclusion, but in a convoluted way where the court declared that WiFi is not a radio communication (even though it is).
However, in a totally unrelated case, a judge has now come to the exact opposite conclusion again, and noted that sniffing open WiFi is legal. The case is one that we've already talked about, though in a very different context. A patent troll called Innovatio IP has sued a bunch of businesses (hotels, coffee shops, restaurants) that offer WiFi to users, claiming that anyone using WiFi infringes, though it says "at this stage" it won't go after individual users, only businesses. In trying to win its patent lawsuit, it wanted to use evidence from packet sniffing on some open networks, and asked the court to say that this is legal. And the judge has now said it is. First, unlike in the Google case, the judge has no problem recognizing that WiFi is electronic communication using radio waves. Then it points out that open WiFi quite clearly fits under the stated exception to the wiretapping laws, which is that they do not apply to "a system that is configured so that such electronic communication is readily accessible to the general public." The judge then pushes back on the ruling in the Google case, noting that the judge there claimed that the data on an open WiFi network was only available via "sophisticated technology." This judge isn't buying it:
... upon examination, the proposition that Wi-Fi communications are accessible only with sophisticated technology breaks down. As mentioned above, Innovatio is intercepting Wi-Fi communications with a Riverbed AirPcap Nx packet capture adapter, which is available to the public for purchase for $698.00. See Riverbed Technology Product Catalog, http://www.cacetech.com/products/catalog/ (last visited Aug. 21, 2012). A more basic packet capture adapter is available for only $198.00. Id. The software necessary to analyze the data that the packet capture adapters collect is available for down load for free. See Wireshark Frequently Asked Questions, http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#sec1 (last visited Aug. 21, 2012) ("Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. . . . It is freely available as open source. . . ."). With a packet capture adapter and the software, along with a basic laptop computer, any member of the general public within range of an unencrypted Wi-Fi network can begin intercepting communications sent on that network. Many Wi-Fi networks provided by commercial establishments (such as coffee shops and restaurants) are unencrypted, and open to such interference from anyone with the right equipment. In light of the ease of "sniffing" Wi-Fi networks, the court concludes that the communications sent on an unencrypted Wi-Fi network are readily available to the general public.While the court admits that many users probably don't know their unencrypted data is subject to sniffing, that does not play into the analysis. The law doesn't say whether or not the user's perception matters. It only matters if the communications are "readily available to the general public," which they are. Legal expert (especially on privacy issues) Orin Kerr disagrees with this ruling, claiming that the intent of whoever configures the network is what matters, but I'm not sure I buy that claim either. He compares it to early cordless phones that easily "leaked" data, noting that no one designed those systems to do that, and the same is likely true in most cases with open WiFi. But that's pretty different. The case of unencrypted data on an open wireless network isn't some sort of accidental leakage, it's the basic nature of any open network.
Either way, I get the feeling this is not the last we'll be hearing of these kinds of cases. Though, if you're really worried about your data on open WiFi networks, there's an easy way to deal with it: encrypt your data.

Richard Gilder Graduate School Holds First Ph.D. Defense main content.
by AMNH on
In the first Ph.D. defense held by the Richard Gilder Graduate School, Sebastian Kvist today successfully defended his dissertation about blood-feeding leeches, paving the way for him to receive his doctoral degree from the Museum.
Kvist, who is from Helsingborg, Sweden, enrolled at the Museum's Richard Gilder Graduate School in 2008 as part of its inaugural class. Advised by Professor and Curator Mark Siddall, he studied leeches as a member of the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology. Last November, Kvist and Siddall co-authored a paper in the online journal PLoS ONE that used next-generation DNA sequencing to explore a unique symbiotic partnership between leeches and bacteria that live inside them. Along with Alejandro Oceguera-Figueroa of the City University of New York, Kvist also described a new species of North American leech, Placobdella kwetlumye, during his time as an RGGS graduate student.
The American Museum of Natural History is the only museum in the Western Hemisphere with the authority to award its own Ph.D. degree. The Richard Gilder Graduate School's first doctoral program, which focuses on comparative biology and covers the origins, history, and range of life on Earth, attracts candidates from throughout the U.S. and from all over the world, including Brazil, Colombia, France, and England.

Lost and Found
Author: Amy Shojai
Review Copy Provided by Author
AN AUNT searches for her lost nephew—and dooms her sister.
A MOM gambles a miracle will cure—and not kill—her child.
A DOG finds his true purpose—when he disobeys.
Animal behaviorist September Day has lost everything—husband murdered, career in ruins, confidence shot—and flees to Texas to recover. She's forced out of hibernation when her nephew Steven and his autism service dog Shadow disappear in a freak blizzard. When her sister trusts a maverick researcher's promise to help Steven, September has 24 hours to rescue them from a devastating medical experiment impacting millions of children, a deadly secret others will kill to protect. As September races the clock, the body count swells. Shadow does his good-dog duty but can't protect his boy. Finally September and Shadow forge a stormy partnership to rescue the missing and stop the nightmare cure. But can they also find the lost parts of themselves?
I have to admit that at first I was skeptical about how much I was going to enjoy the book – because I felt upon reading the jacket copy that too much of the plot had been disclosed (don't worry, I was partially wrong). And the first few chapters were a bit rough, for lack of a better word – it took me a little while to get into the feel of her writing which is very stark (for lack of a better word) as well as the one POV being from Shadow, the German Shepherd puppy (who I loved as a character BTW – reminds me very much of my big goofy baby). To say that the plot resembled a roller-coaster would be correct – it was a continual up and down through the entire thing – the last author I read who did such an on the go type plot was James Rollins (although Matt Reilly is a close second). The medical mystery plot was intriguing, but it wasn't like it was new to me – maybe because I read a book not long ago that had a similar theme, but I guess it is hard at times to come up with something truly unique.
I think the one thing that I didn't like was that throughout the entire book, the author alluded to something that had happened with the main characters husband/dog, but never really came out and said specifically what it is. That drove me nuts – I wanted to know – maybe we'll find out in another book who knows. Also, the names of the main character and her sister just seemed a bit cheesy to me – named after the month they were born in and then their last name just happens to be Day…lol! There was also a bit of a twist at the end that I didn't see coming that I felt just overdid the whole thing – it wasn't needed (at least in my honest opinion) – it almost ruined the tension that was in the book for me…
Either way, I enjoyed the read, I would probably give it 3.5 stars overall, but would recommend it for people who like mysterys/suspense/thrillers, especially with a medical twist, and those who like books with animals).

What Is NTP? What Are Its Benefits? Find Out Now…
| By Daniel Waldron
NTP time server specialists, Galleon, answers what is NTP? Highlighting the benefits of NTP servers for businesses.
What Is NTP?
In simple terms NTP, or Network Time Protocol, is a system used to synchronise the time of day across computer networks. Originally developed by David L. Mills of the University of Delaware, NTP works by using a single time source, enabling it to synchronise time across all devices that are part of a network.
Did you know? NTP was first implemented in 1985. However, some of its predecessors date back as far as 1979.

Yes, Ohio State can win a national championship in 2012
Despite not being eligible for the postseason, Ohio State can still win the national championship. Or a share of one, at least.
The Buckeyes' NCAA ban prohibits them from participating in any games beyond Saturday's date with Michigan, meaning undefeated OSU can't even meet Nebraska in early December as the winner of the Big Ten Leaders Division.
USC: Trojans are a massive disappointment
But it's not just Alabama, Georgia, Florida State and Florida who were helped by Oregon and Kansas State losing on Saturday: It's also Ohio State, which is now only one of two undefeated teams left in the FBS, along with Notre Dame.
NOTRE DAME: Irish stay focused, take care of business
OSU won't win the BCS, of course – seeing that you have to actually play in the BCS to take home that specific hardware. But the Buckeyes could conceivably end the year ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press poll, which the program could then list as an official national championship.
All it would take is a loss by Notre Dame, either against USC on Saturday or during the BCS championship game. If that happens, OSU would be the last perfect team left standing.
KANSAS STATE: Wildcats' title hopes are dashed in Baylor's upset
Up next, voters in the poll – media members – would have to make the executive decision to put a 12-0 Ohio State team No. 1, ahead of other potential options like 12-1 Alabama, 11-1 Notre Dame, 12-1 Oregon, 11-1 Kansas State and so on.
It could happen, and you might want to be at least somewhat prepared. There have been split titles in the BCS era, though none involving a team under NCAA probation.
In 2003, LSU won the BCS championship game against Oklahoma and was named No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. USC, which beat Michigan 28-14 in the Rose Bowl, was named No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll.

This is What a Real Jail Escape Looks LikeMax Read · 07/10/11 01:09PM
If you ever need to escape from the Walker County Jail in Huntsville, Texas, this is the video you want to watch. Trent Archie managed to fight his way out—his fellow inmate, Davis McLeskey, wasn't quite so lucky—by telling officers he needed to use the phone and then attacking an officer and forcing his way through the door. (Archie's since been re-arrested.) It's a bit less involved than Prison Break, but at least it doesn't take 22 goddamn episodes. [ABC]

The mission of the Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution is to help the Georgia Supreme Court fulfill its Constitutional mandate to "provide for the speedy, efficient, and inexpensive resolution of disputes and prosecutions" in the judiciary. The Commission does this by managing a statewide system that offers true and effective alternatives to traditional litigation. Those alternatives – mediation, non-binding arbitration, and case evaluation – give Georgia litigants lower-cost choices for resolving their differences, and they help save scarce court resources for those cases that cannot be resolved without judge or jury.
The ADR system benefits:
- Taxpayers – by reducing the need to pay for more judges, staff and courtrooms as Georgia's population grows;
- Litigants – by offering effective, empowering alternatives to litigation that save them time, money and energy;
- Attorneys – by giving them more tools to satisfy their clients' needs and by reducing overcrowding in the courts;
- Judges and Juries – by clearing dockets so they can concentrate their efforts on cases that require their services;
- Courts – by helping the judiciary use its resources more efficiently.
This website is a resource for people who want to learn more about the courts' ADR system and for people who serve the system as ADR professionals.

NBA trade deadline: Andre Miller traded to Wizards as part of three-team deal
The Denver Nuggets have agreed to a three-team trade that will ship exiled backup guard Andre Miller to the Washington Wizards, according to Yahoo! Sports.
The Wizards will send forward Jan Vesely to the Denver Nuggets and move backup guard Eric Maynor and a second-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to the report.
MORE: Nuggets-Rockets swap | Bobcats get Gary Neal | Heat trade Roger Mason Jr.
Several teams were interested in Miller, who was likely to either be traded or bought out because of his rift with Nuggets coach Brian Shaw. He will be an upgrade over Maynor in Washington, where point guard John Wall is playing major minutes because of the lack of bench options.
Miller, who had averaged 5.9 points and 3.3 assists this season, because angry with Shaw when his streak of 239 consecutive games played was broken. It had been seven weeks since Miller last played for the Nuggets.

Kevin Clash, the longtime Elmo puppeteer, resigned from "Sesame Street" on Nov. 20, 2012, amid allegations that he had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy. Clash denied the allegations, which were first made in June 2012 by the accuser, who is now 23 years old. Sesame Workshop called the controversy surrounding Clash's
personal life "a distraction that none of us want," which led to his
decision to leave the show.

During their years in college, Mason Plumlee and Reggie Bullock both watched their share of classmates and teammates move on to the NBA. Finally, though, their time came on Thursday night.
The Brooklyn Nets selected Plumlee, the Duke forward, with the 22nd overall pick in the NBA draft on Thursday. Bullock, the North Carolina guard, had to wait just a little while longer to hear his name called. The Los Angeles Clippers picked him with the 25th overall selection.
After years of watching teammates move on to the NBA, both players waited a while for this night. And both had to wait a while relative to where local players have been selected in recent NBA drafts. The draft on Thursday night was the first once since 2000 without a player from Duke, UNC or N.C. State among the top 20 picks.
Plumlee, who earned first-team All-ACC honors during his senior season at Duke, had been projected as a definite first-rounder. Even so, it wasn�t a surprise that he had to wait a while to hear his name called.
Jay Bilas, the ESPN college basketball analyst who was a part of the network�s draft coverage, described Plumlee as the best available player at the time of his selection.
�He�s really worked hard to improve his game,� Bilas said during the ESPN broadcast. �He�s not a natural post player (but) he�s a natural athlete.�
Plumlee, who measured 7-foot-1 during pre-draft workouts, took a path to the NBA that�s becoming less traveled these days. He was the second college senior to be selected on Thursday night.
He averaged a modest 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game during his freshman season, but his year-by-year improvement culminated in a senior season in which he averaged 17.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.
Bullock, too, improved significantly during his years with the Tar Heels.
Bullock averaged 13.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game last season during his junior year. He made 43.6 percent of his 3-point attempts, and his perimeter shooting improved during both his sophomore and junior seasons.
When UNC began using a smaller four-guard lineup in February, Bullock responded well to his increased rebounding responsibility. He had at least nine rebounds in six of UNC�s final 10 games.
�You can put him all over the court, and he�ll make 3s,� Bilas said during the ESPN broadcast. �... I thought he was one of the five best players in the ACC last year, and he can also defend.
�I don�t think he got as much credit for (defense) this past year.�
After Bullock announced his decision to leave school, UNC coach Roy Williams expressed concern publicly about Bullock�s draft prospects. Williams, though, said he was �absolutely thrilled� for Bullock on Thursday night.
�Everyone knows by now that I was a bit scared initially about his decision to enter the draft because the NBA people that I spoke to said he was a borderline first- or second-round pick,� Williams said in a statement that UNC released Thursday night. �Most of them told me they thought he would go in the top of the second round, including the NBA evaluation committee. So that was the cause of my concern for someone I care so much about.
�But the Clippers selecting Reggie in the first round shows everyone how well he performed under pressure in the pre-draft workouts. I take my hat off to him. He earned that first round pick.�
Bullock and Plumlee were the only players from North Carolina schools to be selected in the first round. The Los Angeles Lakers selected Duke forward Ryan Kelly in the second round with the 48th overall pick.
Lorenzo Brown, the N.C. State point guard, went to the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 52nd overall pick. Both Brown and C.J. Leslie, the forward, departed N.C. State after their junior seasons. Both were projected as early- to mid-second round selections but Brown slid toward the bottom of the first round and Leslie wasn�t picked.
Bilas during the ESPN broadcast described Brown as a �first-round talent� but criticized his defense.
�He did not defend with passion, but really nobody on (N.C. State�s) team did,� Bilas said.
Bullock didn�t attend the draft in Brooklyn, N.Y., but Plumlee did. After NBA Commissioner David Stern announced Plumlee�s name, Plumlee put on a Brooklyn hat and walked across the stage to shake Stern�s hand.
The many Nets fans in attendance cheered his selection and Plumlee greeted former Duke standout Shane Battier, who was covering the draft for ESPN, with a wide smile.
�This is the first time I�ve been to Brooklyn,� Plumlee said during the interview on ESPN. �And it�s been good to me.�
Plumlee became the second member of his family to be selected in the first round. The Indiana Pacers during the 2012 draft selected his brother, Miles, with the 26th overall pick.
Jason Kidd, whom the Brooklyn Nets recently introduced as its head coach, described Plumlee as a �coach�s dream� during an interview with ESPN.
�We got the best player at that spot,� Kidd said during an interview with the network.

Obama's green energy industrial policy turns up in Chapter 11.
Mitt Romney quipped in the first Presidential debate that the problem with the Obama Administration's green energy investing isn't that it tried to pick winners and losers, but that "you pick the losers." He was being generous. Another big green Administration favorite went belly-up on Tuesday with the Chapter 11 filing by battery-maker A123 Systems Inc.
Massachusetts-based A123 is—or was—part of President Obama's grand design to build a U.S. electric-car industry more or less from scratch. The company was founded by entrepreneurs in 2001 to make lithium ion phosphate batteries and attracted private investment from the likes of Sequoia Capital and GE. Then Washington picked up the green energy fad.
As Mr. Obama put it in August 2009, the government would create an "infrastructure of innovation" by doling out "$2.4 billion in highly competitive grants to develop the next generation of fuel-efficient cars and trucks, powered by the next generation of battery technologies, all made right here in the U.S. of A."
In a September 2010 congratulatory phone call to A123's Livonia, Michigan plant, Mr. Obama called it "the birth of an entire new industry in America."
Democrats were explicit that this was an attempt to rehabilitate the idea that government could nurture new industries. As Michigan Senator Carl Levin said in a 2011 speech, A123's factories "are a forceful rebuttal to those who argue against public investment in this field, people who label this 'industrial policy.' In the not too distant past, that label—'industrial policy'—was the kiss of death for any proposal. That's an ideological hang-up that we've now overcome."
One not-so-ideological hang-up: The technology and market for such an industry didn't and still doesn't exist for commercially profitable levels of production. Electric-battery storage in particular has bedeviled technologists for decades. But rather than fund basic research—arguably a role for government—Mr. Obama and his green friends decided to play venture capitalist and industrial planner. With your money.
The Bush Administration gave A123 a $6 million research grant in 2007. But the company hit the jackpot in August 2009 when Mr. Obama's Department of Energy announced a $249 million grant. No strings attached and not even a taxpayer equity stake. The cash was supposed to build three plants in Michigan that would create "more than 3,000 [jobs] by the end of 2012," according to Mr. Obama.
The A123 batteries needed a market, so the government tried to finance that too. In April 2010, the Energy Department gave Fisker Automotive a $529 million loan to develop and produce plug-in hybrid cars—for which A123 would supply the batteries.
Fisker was supposed to be producing cars this year at an old General Motors-United Auto Workers plant in Delaware. Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Delaware himself for the plant reopening. But Fisker has struggled with reliability issues, car recalls and management changes. In August, a Fisker Karma vehicle caught fire in a parking lot in California, thanks to a defective cooling fan. The Energy Department froze Fisker's credit line last year.
As for A123, it also struggled with quality-control problems and competition from low-cost producers in Asia. China's Wanxiang Group offered A123 a lifeline in August, but Tuesday that deal fell apart.
Johnson Controls, the Fortune 500 giant, will now pick up the pieces and finance A123's bankruptcy. Johnson Controls received a $299.2 million grant from the Obama Administration in 2009 to build advanced batteries. Johnson Controls is a respected enterprise, but does a company with a fiscal 2011 net income of $1.6 billion really need taxpayer subsidies?
More than any single failure, the larger lesson here is the eternal one about the folly of government industrial policy. Someday someone will find a way to store electric power for long periods, and someday someone may build a commercially viable electric car. We will be the first to cheer.
But the second to last people in the world to know when that day arrives will work for the Department of Energy, and the last will be U.S. Senators. In 2008 President Obama sold voters a fairy tale about millions of "green jobs" that he could conjure up merely by "investing" taxpayer money. The 2012 election is in part a referendum on whether Americans can be fooled again.

Surrounded by tea plants that are several centuries old, on the ancient Tea Horse Road that linked Yunnan with Tibet, the Brilliant Resort campaigns to protect one of the birthplaces of tea and supports the local population.
The heart of the Jingmai Mountains beats to the drum of tradition for its many ethnic minorities. To help preserve their know-how and fight rural erosion, the Brilliant Resort renovates the villages, scattered in the mountains, and promotes sustainable tourism. As an example they are restoring the millennial town of Tengchong and highlighting local, ancestral crafts such as calligraphy, paper making, spinning and embroider and have also established the Tea Horse Road Museum. So it creates local jobs at the same time. The property also grows its own organic tea and is committed to protecting biodiversity.

Quantum-corrected Monte-Carlo transport simulator for two-dimensional MOSFET devices.

QuaMC (pronunciation: quamsee) 2-D is effectively a quasi three-dimensional quantum-corrected semiclassical Monte Carlo transport simulator for conventional and non-conventional MOSFET devices. A parameter-free quantum field approach has been developed and utilized quite successfully in order to capture the size-quantization effects in nanoscale MOSFETs. The method is based on a perturbation theory around thermodynamic equilibrium and leads to a quantum field formalism in which the size of an electron depends upon its energy[2,3]. This simulator uses different self-consistent event-biasing schemes for statistical enhancement in the Monte-Carlo device simulations. Enhancement algorithms are especially useful when the device behavior is governed by rare events in the carrier transport process. A bias technique, particularly useful for small devices, is obtained by injection of hot carriers from the boundaries[4]. Regarding the Monte Carlo transport kernel, the explicit inclusion of the longitudinal and transverse masses in the silicon conduction band is done in the program using the Herring-Vogt transformation. Intravalley scattering is limited to acoustic phonons. For the intervalley scattering, both g- and f-phonon processes have been included.
QuaMC 2-D was originally developed at Arizona State University and has recently been ported to various platforms at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA. More information on QuaMC can be found by contacting Shaikh S. Ahmed.

looks like i got crapped on again and its mainly only legacy/1.0 players getting in
Got mine. Score! Now I can play it, say I like it, and then get to level 15 and never play again!
In other related news, did you guys read the transcript from this morning's Live Letter. 16-18 instanced dungeons at launch. Crazy.
Yeah, pretty sure he will be. We're planning an elaborate crime-fighting duo tale to serve as our backstory.
I'm not sure how to add people to groups, but I'll see what I can do.In other news, I played for three hours. I hate MMOs, and I was hooked on FFXIV. Seems like it has my favorite parts of GW2, FFXI, and LOTRO, and I especially enjoy the exploration. I don't know what 1.0 was like, but this feels very worthy. Will definitely be picking it up at launch.
as i have been told 1.0's problem is that it tried too hard to be different from FFXI. to a certain extent im told its still like that and that FFXI fans should be catious.
