Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald Ash Borer Sessions
Local parks officials are informing the public about the emerald ash borer. There was a free informational meeting today and there will be another meeting tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Riverview Park Activities Building. […]
Emerald Ash Borer Killing Local Ash Tree Population
The hot weather and lush greenery has returned to North Park, but some trees didn't make it to the party this year. Around the park, hundreds of green and white ash trees are now dead or dying – the victims of a beetle from China called the Emerald Ash Borer, which preys on ash trees as its name suggests.

Mine too but I think the reaction of the people isnt far fetched. Let's say, just hypothetically they were squids, it would show a very different result..

It is quite unusual to see that happen. They might have been chasing a shoal of fish. A big cheer to all those people who came to their rescue, you put a big smile on my face.

The T-Shirt selections will be updated with the 2015 styles at the end of March 2015.
There are 3 ways you can obtain a T-Shirt for your camper: 1) Mailed T-Shirt When you register, you can purchase a mailed T-Shirt. Then in early April we'll send you an email to let you know the new styles are on the website for you to look at. After you've made your choice, you'll click on the link in the email, and it will take you to an order form. Before the first week of camp, we will package the shirt(s) you ordered and mail them to you. 2) Pre-Select T-Shirt When you register, or later through your MyCampThurmanAccount, you can purchase a PrePaid T-Shirt. If you purchase before early April, then we'll send you an email about April 9th to let you know the new styles are on the website for you to look at. After you've made your choice, you'll click on the link in the email, and it will take you to an order form. We will package the shirt(s) you selected and set them aside for you to pick up. During the two weeks before the beginning of camp, ending with the Open House date, you will come to the campsite and pick up those shirts. If you do not pick them up by Open House, we will put the shirts back in stock. You will still have credit for a T-shirt and may pick them up anytime the day camp is open, but you must then choose from those shirts which are still available.
3) PrePaid T-Shirt If you purchase a PrePaid T-Shirt during registration or later through your MyCampThurmanAccount, but choose not to pre-select, then you will have credit for a T-shirt, and you may pick it up anytime day camp is open.
When you pre-pay for a T-Shirt or hat, you receive a small discount on the price. At the time of registration we ask you to indicate a size only and that is to give us an idea of how many shirts in the various sizes to order each year. We do not reserve particular sizes or styles for each camper, unless you go through the pre-select or mail option. You also do not need to have a receipt to pick up a shirt; we have a list of those who have pre-paid. If you did not preselect, you may pick up your T-shirt beginning June 7th at Open House. After that Saturday, you may pick up your shirt any time regular day camp is open. It doesn't have to be on Monday morning. If you do not pick up your pre-paid shirts before your camp week, however, we do not automatically give your child the shirt. You MUST come in and pick up the shirt. If your camper is coming during the later weeks, we suggest you pick up your shirt one of the weeks before that, as once a shirt is out-of-stock, we may not be able to re-order, so the sooner you come in, the better choice you will have.
Merchandise is NOT available for ordering online.
Western CTOur camp theme for the whole summer will be western.

Scientific name: Lepidium hyssopifolium
Common name: Basalt Pepper-cress
Other names: Aromatic Peppercress, Small Pepper-cress, Soft Peppercress
The Basalt Pepper-cress is an erect, multi-branched perennial herb that grows up to 1 m in height, with stems and stem leaves covered in fine short needle-shaped hairs (Leigh et al. 1984; Tumino 2010). Leaves have hairy serrated margins, and an ear-like appendage at their base. Basal leaves are toothed or pinnately lobed and stem leaves linear-lanceolate, toothed or entire and grow to 1–4 cm in length and 1–3 mm in width (Tumino 2010). The inflorescence (flower cluster) is borne on a raceme (an unbranched inflorescence made up of flowers each on a short stalk), and the flowers themselves are very small, greenish in colour and inconspiculous. Sepals are 0.8 mm long, and petals are either reduced or absent. There are, however, two stamens. Fruit are borne on hairy, terete pedicels (3–5 mm in length) and are sometimes hairy with narrow wings (Tumino 2010).
The Basalt Pepper-cress is found in an extensive, but patchy distribution from south-eastern NSW, through Victoria to eastern parts of Tasmania (Tumino 2010).
Currently, the species is known from near Bathurst and Bungendore, in the South Eastern Highlands Bioregion (Tumino 2010).
Historically, the Basalt Pepper-cress has been recorded from the Northern and Central Tablelands, with an atypical specimen from Cooma on the Southern Tablelands (Harden 2000). The Central Tablelands records are from the Bathurst area; the Northern Tablelands collections are from Gostwyck, near Armidale, and there was an 1884 record from 'near Maryland', though this record may have been from either NSW or Queensland, as the Maryland Station once extended over the border (Quinn et al. 1995). Most other records have been found to be misidentifications (Scarlett & Parsons 2000 pers. comm.).
The Basalt Pepper-cress is found mostly west of Melbourne in the Victorian Midlands and Victorian Volcanic Plain Bioregions (Tumino 2010).
Currently, the Basalt Pepper-cress is confined to the east of Tasmania; being known from the Tasmanian South East, Tasmanian Northern Midlands, Ben Lomond and Flinders Bioregions. The species was also previously known from the Freycinet and Tasmanian Midlands Bioregions (Tumino 2010). In 2003, the species was described as occurring from Falmouth on the east coast, through the northern Midlands, southern Midlands and Derwent Valley, as well as on Preservation Island in the Furneaux Group (Tas. DPIPWE 2003).
Historically, the species has been recorded from Salmon Ponds and Granton, north-west and north-east of New Norfolk, and Bagdad (all south-central Tasmania near Hobart), Preservation Islands (Furneaux Group) in Bass Strait, and Longford (north-central). The species was known to occur on roadsides and in Township Lagoon Nature Reserve (Johnson & Barker 1998). In 1998, there were 35 known sites; 32 on public land and three on private land (Barker & Johnson 1998). However, a report on management prescriptions for threatened species on public land released the same year (Johnson & Barker 1998) stated that it is known from one site in its natural habitat on private land. There is a historical record of the species from South Arm, and an unconfirmed record from Dunalley in the south-east of the state.
Other Locations
Although a number of authors reported this species' occurrence in the Murray lands of South Australia (Hewson 1982b; Peacock 1996; Quinn et al. 1995), there are no supporting records, and it is likely to have been confused with Lepidium africanum (Peppercress) (Hewson 1982c; Leigh et al. 1984). This species is naturalised in New Zealand (Webb et al. 1988).
The Basalt Pepper-cress is known from approximately 35 populations, mainly in Tasmania, and most recent estimates (Tumino 2010) indicate a total population size of 1700 plants. The following is a table of known population information for the species (Tumino 2010):

Generally, the Basalt Pepper-cress is known to establish on open, bare ground with limited competition from other plants. The Basalt Pepper-cress was previously recorded from Eucalypt woodland with a grassy ground cover, low open Casuarina woodland with a grassy ground cover and tussock grassland (Leigh et al. 1984). Recently recorded localities have predominantly been in weed-infested areas of heavy modification, high degradation and high soil disturbance such as road and rail verges, on the fringes of developed agricultural land or within small reserves in agricultural land. Many populations are now generally found amongst exotic pasture grasses and beneath exotic trees such as the Radiata Pine (Pinus radiata) and Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpus), often associated with other species of Lepidium (Ayers et al. 1996; MEL collection records; Tumino 2010). The lack of competition from other shade-tolerant species allows the Basalt Pepper-cress to persist (Tumino 2010).
Establishment of the species is thought to be disturbance-driven, as opposed to habitat specific, and soil-stored seed may require disturbance in combination with other factors (such as open ground and favourable moisture conditions) for seed germination (Tumino 2010). Soils at known sites are light to heavy clay loams that are often friable (can be reduced to smaller pieces with ease) and the species is known to tolerate a range of environmental conditions (Tumino 2010).
The Basalt Pepper-cress usually flowers from December to February with large quantities of seeds being produced between January and June (Leigh et al. 1984). Seeds germinate on bare soil, and most likely require disturbance for seed recruitment and germination (Leigh et al. 1984; Tumino 2010). Seeds are known to remain viable in the soil for at least two years (perhaps longer) (Tumino 2010).
Threats to the Basalt Pepper-cress include grazing by domestic stock and rabbits, together with land clearing (Leigh et al. 1984), and suppression by exotic species. Plants at Bagdad (Tasmania) were growing in a 'mown road verge dominated by introduced grasses'. One population at Trentham (Victoria) occurred with Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus spp. agg.), with the recorder's note 'population possibly now destroyed'. At Bolwarrah (Victoria), dominant species at the site were the introduced grasses Bromus diandrus and Dactylis glomerata (MEL collection records). The Basalt Pepper-cress requires periodic disturbance but excessive soil disturbance prevents seedling establishment. It is also threatened by herbicide application as land managers are likely to mistake it for the introduced species Lepidium africanum (Cropper 1987; Davies 1987; SAC 1991b).
Glenorchy Precinct Committees (Tasmania) received $5000 of funding through the Threatened Species Network Community Grants in 2001—02, part of which was for on-ground protection of nationally listed species; assisting with development of management plans for threatened species habitat (including Basalt Pepper-cress) to integrate protection and community action with council development and approval processes.
Management documents relevant to the Basalt Pepper-cress are at the start of the profile.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones doesn't expect quarterback Riley Ferguson to return to the Volunteers.
"Riley's no longer with the program," Jones said. Earlier Tuesday, Volquest had reported that Jones said he didn't expect Ferguson to remain with the Vols.
Ferguson, a redshirt freshman, was expected to compete with senior Justin Worley and sophomores Joshua Dobbs and Nathan Peterman for the starting job. Although a leg injury prevented Ferguson from playing last season, he impressed coaches with his arm strength and upside.
Ferguson had quarterbacked two state championship teams at Butler High School in Matthews, North Carolina. During Tennessee's spring game last month, he went 7 of 12 for 83 yards and a touchdown, but also threw an interception and lost a fumble.
Worley started seven games last season before having season-ending thumb surgery. He completed 55.6 percent of his passes for 1,239 yards with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Tennessee went 4-3 in the games he started.
Dobbs, from Alpharetta High School, started the final four games in place of Worley and completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 695 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions.
Peterman started ahead of Worley in a 31-17 loss to Florida before injuring his throwing hand. Peterman played as a backup in two other games and finished the season 10 of 23 for 45 yards with two interceptions.
Tennessee opens its season Aug. 31 against Utah State.

Vad Lee, Christian LeMay, and now this kid Ferguson, maybe it is just a coincidence, but one has to ask were the top HS QBs from NC over the past few years heavily over-rated?
May 28th, 2014
8:26 pm
With that much disarray, the bulldwags may have a chance to beat Tennessee this year.
May 28th, 2014

LeMay and Ferguson both went to Butler HS – it is part of the Charlotte-Meck system. When the CMS district got out of the Federal bussing order around 2001 they went to a school choice plan. Heck – I went to a CMS open house where schools were recruiting. Result was that certain high schools became the choice for D 1 prospects.
Independence (with Butler close behind) was originally the school of choice on the south side – Chris Leak was a won 3 state championships in 3 years while only losing 1 game. He was followed by Joe Cox – throwing to 2 NFL-bound WRs (Mo Massaquoi and Hakeem Nicks) impressed UGA enough to give him a scholly. It's a little different in Durham (home of Lee) but at some of the CMS schools the loaded talent can make the QB look good – call it the USC QB effect.
May 29th, 2014

Perhaps Jacob Parks will be a good QB for the Dawgs. Butch Davis brought a lot of talent to NC and on to the NFL from North Carolina. Now there is some questions about how he got them into school but the talent is there.

Out to the Ball Game
No blog post today. Except for this one. It's not, you know, a real one. Not a long one. Not a regular one. You know what I mean.
The kid and I are headed to San Francisco to take in a Giants game at AT&T Park. There's not a much better place to blow off a day of work or school.

The New York-New Jersey railroad complex is a mess, following Hurricane Sandy. Subways are flooded in lower Manhattan. So are Amtrak's tunnels under the Hudson River and at least one of the tunnels leading east to Long Island. New Jersey Transit experienced "unprecedented devastation," says its board chairman. And Consolidated Rail Corp., the switching railroad in the middle of all this in North Jersey? Reports president Ron Batory: "We're resuming operations tomorrow."Conrail is the remnant of the Class I railroad that now provides switching and terminals operations for owners CSX and Norfolk Southern in North Jersey opposite New York City, plus Philadelphia and Detroit. I spoke to Batory expecting the worst. But he reports mostly good news.Bridges and main lines are okay. The Lehigh Line that carries most CSX and NS freights as well as Raritan Valley Jersey Transit trains, is operational. This is Conrail's primary route, and that it's good to go is welcome news.There are two primary issues, Batory reports. One is the absence of electrical power at about a dozen Conrail control points, meaning junctions or crossover locations. To solve this, Conrail is installing generators to activate the signals. Dispatcher control of signals via microwave towers is largely intact, he adds. Related to signals are grade crossings. On the Lehigh Line, two Conrail employees will protect each disabled road crossing until power is restored. On other lines, trains must stop at each crossing and then proceed.The other problem is not really Conrail's but that of its customers. Particularly on the Chemical Coast Secondary along Newark Bay, Hurricane Sandy threw anything in its path around like Tinker Toys. The container terminals that feed the trains of Conrail's owners may be a day or two getting the Tinker Toys picked up and the properties ready to load and unload trains. So will many other customers in the area.You will be reading some disheartening stories about the damage Sandy did to railroads. This is a story with a happy ending.—Fred W. Frailey
I can also report that the Shore Line Trolley Museum, Branford Electric Ralway Associaton, learned from the past flood, and moved all possible usable equpiment to the highest elevation tracks available, removed ciritical equpment from the subsation and from signals, etc, used a lot of sandbags to prevent flooding, and can be open for business with regularly scheduled operatons. Some rolling stock was flooded, but most were those that had not yet been overhauled from the previous flood. (Like one of my favorites, Brooklyn Laconia-built 1909 4573) My favorite car, Manhattan-Bronx TATS/TARy 629 was not damaged.
The really big problem is having employees able to get to work. They have cleaning up to do at home. However, after being off, and needing to get paid, add in the need to resume their normal lives, and this will translate into their returning to work.
Never thought they would move I'm portable generators... I figured that trains would have to stop and manipulate the switches on their own. Way to go Conrail!

Gorham "Hindoo" Large Sterling Soup Ladle
click for more pictures for item 1393fb
There is lack of complete certainty on the name of this 1870's Gorham pattern classified in the Egyptian Revival mode, but it is generally and reliably identified as "Hindoo."
It has a tubular stem and diamond prism handle end with banded borders. It is essentially Gorham's "Isis" without the winged snake figure.
The bowl on this large, 13 1/2" long, heavy, 6.4 T. oz., soup ladle has a central vee made up of two flanking lobes with rounded shoulders. This is again the form that was used on "Isis" and several other Gorham patterns including notably "Raphael."
The bowl is generously proportioned at 4 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" deep. It has a satin matte, gold washed finish with fine engraving that incorporates the same Eyptian Revival motifs that are engraved on the also satin matte finish diamond end of the handle.
There is an inscription on two facets of the diamond handle that lends the piece provenance. It reads on one face, "R.W.C. Stanley," and on the next face, "from Guy Roosevelt Beardslee 1875." Beardslee, 1856-1939, and graduate of West Point, was a man of some note with substantial biographical material about him available on the internet. The family home, "Beardslee Castle," built by his father is still standing in Little Falls, New York, and currently operates as a restaurant.
The piece is in mint condition, showing no signs of wear or damage. Marks are lion, anchor, G, and the word "Sterling."

I see a lot of junk now on t.v. and I KNOW I could be a great actress. Some of the stuff on t.v. now is pure garbage and a lot of the actors and actresses are not that good at their jobs at all. Making loads of money for being very poor at their craft and stories that are just stupid. You have hard working folks that go to work EVERYDAY and will not make half the salary that some of these clowns make per episode. To me something is very wrong with this picture.

Blu-Ray Format Triumphs
When it comes to technology format wars, the best doesn't always win out. Many other factors (generally of the economic variety) dictate which format comes out on top in a particular field. The classic example is VHS's triumph over the technologically superior Betamax format at the dawn of the home-video era.
So, it was a pleasant surprise to read news stories yesterday about the triumph of the Blu-Ray disc format over its technologically inferior rival, HD-DVD (single layer Blu-Ray discs hold 25 GB to HD-DVD's 15 GB). Toshiba, which was the company behind HD-DVD, capitulated on Tuesday, announcing that it was suspending development of the format, which was losing its attempts to become the disc of choice for high-definition DVD movies. The nails in the coffin of HD-DVD were recent announcements that movie retailers like Amazon.com, Blockbuster, Netflix, and Wal-Mart were all going exclusively with Blu-Ray.
So why am I writing about it in this blog? After all, EM is concerned with recording gear not consumer electronics. The answer is that now that the format war has ended, we can expect to see lower priced Blu-Ray disc drives for computers, allowing data-hungry recordists to store and backup large projects to disc that in the past exceeded the capacity of conventional DVD drives. Imagine being able to archive up to 25 GB at a time (double that on double-layer drives). I presume that prices will come down for both the drives and the discs. Now we can buy Blu-Ray gear without the fear of the format dying after we've invested in hardware—at least not until the next best thing comes along.

I want to thank all of you that continue to enjoy this thread..... and worked together!
For all who is getting the 3Gs right away enjoy! I am going to wait it out until my year is up to see if they lower the price... but I have all that I can do to hold back believe me! But $500.00? Will wait until 7/23 if no other discounts I will be getting one....
Many thanks
You are one sorry little boy. Just go away if all you want to do is start trouble and insult people.
I would like to appoligize to everyone for creating a couple pages of use less banter. On that note I would like to thank thetoothfairy for getting rid of a useless member.
Now back on topic. I also can't wait to get my iPhone 3G S. I got my iPhone 3G a couple of months ago when I was fired from at&t, but I bought it from ebay so I was eligible for the discount. I'm so excited to get it I keep checking my order status on apple site and to my delight it has been changed as of tonight.
I too will be unboxing on the 19th, or maybe before if Apple ships early.
I wish some would bury me....
Love my 3G. The wife is elegible for an upgrade in August. I am trying to convince her that she needs an iPhone instead of her pocket pc. Then, after I use her upgrade to buy a 32GB 3GS, I will graciously give her my 16GB 3G. Waht do ya think? SOund like a plan?
Also, "Miss I dont want an iPhone" cant wait for her 3Gs to come in! LOL!
So when do the rumors start for next year's phone? This is such a huge disappointment compared to the rumors we heard. I'm ready for 2010! :P
I've had video calling on most of my phones for the past 6 years - it really is over rated!
you six years v.s. my 0 years lol im jealous that you had more then ten minutes with video chat on a mobile phone lol
I dont see myself using video calling. I dont want people seeing me and I sure dont want to look at who I am talking to unless its a hot naked babe!
I agree with the video chat thing. It just isn't practical in my opinion. Personally I am much happier with a faster cpu, more ram, and more storage space. I do admit video messaging would be cool, but after the first call or two I would be over it.
The other problem is there are those who just want features that they never use just to say they have them. I think many are this way with MMS too. I know handfuls of people with iphone who have been crying about MMS that will rarely, if ever, end up using it, but they are complacent just with the fact that they have that ability.
Just to let all know I had a conversation with Apple and AT&T they both state that I can remove my sim from my 3G phone and put in my 3Gs and it will work fine all I have to do according to AT&T is go online to my account and change my phone type. So I'll see what happens when my 3Gs gets here.

364. What Work Became Us
The name of this story is "What Work Became Us." You take this can. I'll take this can. And between us, we can watch American Idol through string.
Janet keeps her son in her personal filing cabinet near her desk.
My complaint is: Why the hell does Janet get a personal filing cabinet and I get zip?
I do just as much work as Janet. In fact, I do more work than Janet.
Janet is a test monkey compared to what I can do here.
And her son—don't get me started. He's always peeking out of the filing cabinet like a gopher or mole or something. Crayon in his hand or up his nose. Face full of ugly freckles.
Hi, he says when he pokes his head out.
I hate you, is what I want to say to him. But I don't. I stop short of it. I just smile weakly at him and nod my head and that seems to appease him.
I have to remind myself, it is not Janet's son that I hate. Is he annoying? Yes. Does he smell sometimes? Yes. Does he make loud noises at odd intervals that disturb the rhythm of my work? Yes. But I don't hate him. I hate him for little, tiny moments that quickly disappear into the general dread of atmospheric hate that hangs in our office.
Look up and I can the cloud hovering over us all: looming and coiled like clouds full of rain and thunder and lightning, dark and heavy, noxious even, reach too far up and you might start to sputter and cough like my '99 Toyota. There in the atmosphere, just below the pale fluorescent lights, hangs all of my years of grievances and petty moments of hatred I have felt. Here is the moment I wanted to strangle Bob because he would not shut up about the time he worked for the County Museum and how he was so the wrong person to buy gift shop purchases. There are the times I considered placing a tack on Candace's seat so that when she'd sit her sanctimonious ass on her wobbly chair, she'd feel the sharp prick of her own medicine. And of course, here were all the times I had desperately, unconscionably, and without absolute reason hated, despised, cursed, and physically wanted to harm Janet. And over the smallest things: her cackle of a laugh, her terrible work habits, the way she'd snack during the day, the little crinkle sound of plastic constantly emanating from her desk-area, her dumb, boring stories, the way she smelled (like her son), and speaking of her son—the way she brought him to work, hid him in the filing cabinet, fed him like a small gremlin there, the filing cabinet that should be mine!
Every once and awhile I have to be reminded of these things. I look up and see all the terrible little thoughts I've carried and let hover above me and I feel overwhelmed with shame and tired sadness. Then I look over at my coworkers, the distorted blobs and shapes of their bodies securely molded to their chairs and workspaces, and above them too, hovering over their shamed, unloving heads—the clouds of moments that made them, ever so briefly, unlike who they used to be: unwanted, unseeing, and unkind.

An Exogeneity Test for the Simultaneous Equation Tobit Model With an Application to Labour Supply
AbstractA test of weak exogeneity in the simultaneous equation Tobit model is proposed and illustrated using a female labour supply model estimated using cross-section data. The test statistic can be simply output from any standard Tobit maximum likelihood package, and is asymptotically efficient. The procedure provides consistent estimators for the simultaneous Tobit model whose asymptotic covariance matrix is a simple extension of the usual Tobit formula. We also provide the Lagrange Multiplier test of weak exogeneity.

HSE Advisors – The implementation of safety systems is becoming a major focus for residential construction companies and this has led to demand for candidates with direct experience on specific projects.
Foremen/women – The sharp increase in high-rise projects at present has fuelled strong demand for these skills. But given the shortage of high-rise projects in recent times, there is an equivalent shortage of candidates with relevant experience. We are also seeing a need for Structures Foremen/women and Finishing Foremen/women with high-rise residential experience.
Quantity Surveyors – There is currently a shortage of highly qualified Quantity Surveyors.
Contract Administrators – Demand for Contract Administrators across all building sectors is growing fast with a particularly strong demand for candidates with large scale residential development experience. In capital cities candidates with significant commercial fit-out and refurbishment experience are also snapped up quickly.
Senior Estimators – Candidates are in high demand for project roles in the civil and infrastructure market.
Project Engineers and Civil Supervisors – Professionals with a background in subdivision or land development are sought.
Senior Project Managers and Construction Managers – Within the rail sector we are seeing an increase in roles for experienced Senior Project Managers and Construction Managers. With some massive projects due to commence in NSW over the next 18 months, we are also seeing strong demand for people with experience in operational readiness roles across the industry.
We are seeing more confidence in the market. Building construction jobs are available and many employers say activity will increase. Demand in civil construction remains limited but consistent.
Small contractors in the earthworks and early works sector are seeing steady activity given increased residential building work.
In New South Wales major civil and infrastructure projects are being awarded, with recruitment activity around three months away. This has created a lot of interest in the local candidate pool.
There are more permanent than temporary jobs as employers want to find candidates who they can retain long term. Employers continue to prefer locally based candidates.

After signing autographs and hosting a fan club party for fans — events that, combined, lasted over nine hours at CMA Music Festival in Nashville — Chris Young had to bid adieu to hit the road for some tour stops. However, this did not keep Young from showing his gratitude to his fans he had to leave behind in Nashville.
Young utilized Netwave Technology while sitting backstage awaiting his set on Miranda Lambert's "On Fire " Tour so that he could spend a tenth hour with his fans through a virtual meet and greet session. Fans continued to wait in line to meet Young, but this time, they communicated with him via video chat, where Young took a minute to speak to each individual fan and sign a digital autograph for them. As if this wasn't enough, Young then went to Twitter and announced a Skype session with CMA Music Festival attendees while he was in Chicago. Young made history with his selfless actions, as he was the only artist this year to host a virtual meet and greet from Fan Fair Hall at CMA Music Festival.
Did you participate in any of Young's virtual fan appreciation events? If so, tell us all about it here!

THURSDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Love may not only be blind and make the heart beat faster, it might also make a man's feet move more slowly, a new study finds.
Men only slowed their walking speed when they were ambling with a female romantic partner -- not when they were with other women.
This being a scientific study, the researchers added that the phenomenon might have evolutionary roots in an attempt by mobile couples to help preserve the female's fertility.
The study, led by Cara Wall-Scheffler of Seattle Pacific University, found that "males walk at a significantly slower pace to match the females' paces when the female is their romantic partner."
In a study involving 22 people, researchers assessed men's walking speeds as they strolled around a track alone, with a woman who was a romantic partner, or with friends of the same and opposite sex.
The result: men walked at a 7 percent slower pace with a woman who they were romantically involved with.
There was no significant change in the men's pace when walking with male or female friends, according to the study published Oct. 23 in the journal PLoS ONE.
The researchers noted that this phenomenon has been seen in other species, where the energy needed to move is conserved -- in part to help boost fertility. Humans have an "optimal" walking speed that minimizes their energy output, and men tend to have a faster walking speed than women.
So, when a man and woman walk together, one of them will have to switch from their optimal speed and pay the price in energy output, the researchers said.
In the human scenario, it seems that the man most often makes a sacrifice, the study found. He will slow down to match her optimum speed, so that the "female is spared the potentially increased caloric cost of walking together." The energy the woman retains might then "be allocated to reproduction," the researchers concluded.

300 fail Chartered Accountant final exam, but pass after retotalling !!
2 comments:
- CA. Subhash Chandra Podder said...
It is unfortunate to say any thing in fovour of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India .Why they are claiming a premier Institute and No 2 all over the Glove.They are not capable to appoint examiners to conduct the CA. examination. As far my information is concern Examiners are looking for money only. dedicated persons are not seen now a days to be a examiner of CA examination. Few months back I was in the library of ICAI . Two CAS are discussing to enrolled themselves to be examiners of CA exam. and will earn Rs 20,000/to 30,000/ per sessions. I was looking at them and was thinking where we are standing, as Chartered Accountant . our Institute is inviting applications from the chartered Accountants to be examiners of CA exam. but they failed to judge the persons ability. If the examiners applications are investigated The Institute might found that the persons appointed as examiners to see the answer scripts does not have the adequate knowledge of the subject. Totaling is not only the mistakes but require them punishment by the Institute and their membership should be banned immediately and their names should be published in the Journal amd also Institutes web site. and the remuneration so paid should be returned back to the Institute.
Student are coming to the Institute to be a CA. with their performance who will judge their performance ? those persons , who does not know to calculate the marks they have given ? Alas . save them by the members of the Institute.

It looks odd when someone comments on any prestigious institute and can not even write correct spelling of the words used by him in criticism. I request them, to first correct their such trivial mistakes, before commenting on a body that has to get exams conducted pan India that too with limited resources at its command.

Studies provide a number of fresh insights into evolving attitudes and technology based behaviours in this fast changing region... The Middle East is not as different as you might think... "The digital divide demarcates technological abilities in the Arab world about as starkly as anywhere on earth."
The development of effective and evidence-based psychological treatments is one of the major triumphs of the last decades. And based on this triumph, some folks say we don't really need to know why they work, we just need more of them. But that is jumping the gun on policy, and may just further embed the status quo into our management of mental health problems.
Frequent brain activation caused by pornography exposure could lead to structural 'wearing' and reduced activity of the underlying brain regions. This in turn results in a higher need for external stimulation of this reward system. This then produces a tendency to search for novel and more extreme sexual material.
Africa and its healthcare needs are changing. As its economic landscape shifts, burgeoning wealth co-exists with extreme poverty. While infectious diseases like malaria and HIV still place huge pressure on Africa, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer and diabetes pose an increasing threat.
What we see with data today is a similar situation to what we had in the era prior to Web 2.0, where there was a lot of content around, but socialisation over that content was not enabled. Just as we've seen with the social media boom of recent years, however, there is now an opportunity and appetite for creating communities of interest around the socialisation of data.
Countries like the EU, Israel and India have already banned the use of animals in cosmetic testing because animals don't predict the human response. We know this. We know that animals do not provide biologically meaningful human substitutes- and yet we continue to sustain these methods in medical research with our funds and faith.

Random trivia: SPAS is an acronym for Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun, this famous gun was named such in a semi-successul attempt to get around US laws prohibiting combat shotguns.
Oh almighty sparkwire, once again I attempt to resurect your greatness. So here it is, the "Engi spas 12" model fixed to work as both a c and w model. As a result of being a c_model it works on all classes. unfortunately it has minor clipping issues, mainly with the heavy so I'd advise against installing this if you're the shotgun heavy type.
UPDATE:--------------------------------------------- I'd highly encourage everyone re-download this if you've already installed it. The new version comes with a bigger model, a version without a stock, and slightly more fitting textures. I also inadvertently cleaned up most of the clipping.
