Since the dawn of seafaring, humankind has had to deal with the pesky creatures that settle on ships—seaweeds, barnacles, and others that take advantage of the empty real estate provided by a clean hull. Fouled hulls make for slower speeds and for powerboats, higher fuel costs (drag is a drag). Boat owners have a handful of strategies to cope with this problem, such as pulling boats out of water when they are not in use, scraping hulls clean, and coating hulls with paints that repel these unwanted settlers. Not surprisingly, marine organisms have evolved some solutions of their own. Some...

Salmon are one of the most widely loved varieties of seafood in the world. A ubiquitous alternative to meat and poultry, salmon wear a halo of healthfulness, as they are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids . But many wild salmon stocks are dwindling, which means that unless otherwise specified, the salmon you're most likely to find in restaurants and stores is from a farm. Wild Atlantic salmon once ranged from Portugal to Newfoundland and in every major river north of the Hudson, but they have disappeared from many waterways and are in danger of going extinct within our lifetime...

All over the world, people have been witnessing gigantic blooms of tens of thousands of jellyfish where once there were only a few. Fishers find them clogging their nets and costing them dearly. In Japan, giant jellyfish capable of reaching six feet across even capsized a boat that tried to bring them aboard. Where are these stinging menaces coming from and why are they everywhere? Jellyfish explosions are often triggered by overfishing of small fish, like sardines and anchovies, which compete with jellyfish for food. Jellyfish are also more tolerant of low oxygen conditions than fishes, and...

Fever. Aching muscles. Coughing. Sniffling. It's flu season . Have you had your shot? If so, thank a horseshoe crab. In fact, if you've been put on an IV, had a medical device implanted, or received nearly any injectable medication or vaccine in the past few decades, you likely owe the humble horseshoe crab a debt of gratitude. These bizarre creatures —with their helmet-shaped shells, blue-colored blood, seven pairs of legs, and 10 eyes—hold an important medical tool in their bloodstreams. In the 1950s, researchers noticed that the blood of the western Atlantic horseshoe crab species (called...

Sunday, November 21 marks World Fisheries Day , an annual occasion observed in many fishing communities around the world. It's a great opportunity—even for those of us who do not fish for a living—to pause and reflect on the importance of maintaining healthy fisheries. As a scientist, my research on tropical marine fishes has taken me around the world, including locations where I have seen firsthand the impacts that humans are having on marine resources. In 2001, for example, I was part of a Smithsonian expedition to El Salvador studying the coastal fish fauna. We had a chance to work one day...

Animals, on land and in the ocean, live in a 3-D world, and they depend on their sense organs and brains to build the mental constructs that allow them to orient and navigate, which is crucial for hunting and fleeing. The process is far from simple. Humans, for example, use many visual clues to judge relative distance. Objects get smaller and blurrier with distance and parallel lines appear to converge, principles that painters mastered in the 13th and 14th centuries in their quest to turn a 2-D canvas into a 3-D experience. More recently, paired cameras have made 3-D photographs and films a...

Welcome to Citizens of the Sea , a new blog series where ocean life comes to life. Our book by the same name came out in September, but no sooner had it gone off to the printer than new ocean stories started streaming in. So every other week, we'll use this series to explore some interesting aspect of marine life forms and their weird and wonderful ways of getting by. We'd like to start with a personal story about the reefs of Panama near the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute where we recently spent 10 days studying coral spawning.

For those of you who have had the opportunity to visit a coral reef , you know that it's an experience you are unlikely to forget. Coral reefs are among the world's most magnificent ecosystems. Their beauty alone makes them incalculably valuable, but beyond aesthetics, their importance to both marine life and humans is immense. Though they cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support an estimated 25 percent of all marine life. They generate billions of dollars and millions of jobs in more than 100 countries around the world, and provide an important local food source...

I became interested in weather phenomena when I took physics in high school. At the time, I just wanted to understand how various things in nature worked. Unfortunately, most information about weather and hurricanes, whether in textbooks or on television, is merely descriptive: this is the sequence of events that we observe, and they lead to a hurricane. There is usually very little explanation of why it's happening or the physics behind it. But, if we want to predict what a hurricane is going to do tomorrow or in the next few days, we have to understand the physical processes—from the...

This year marks 100 years since the National Museum of Natural History opened its doors, but the Smithsonian's work in marine science dates back more than 160 years. In fact, our marine collection —the largest in the world at more than 80 million specimens—has its roots in The U.S. Exploring Expedition (or "Ex Ex," for short). From 1838 to 1842, six vessels and more than 340 men, including a team of nine scientists and artists, sailed the seas exploring, establishing a diplomatic presence, demonstrating a new nation's Naval prowess, and documenting cultural and scientific diversity.

Adaption Loop
Part of the lecture: Foundations of Self-Adaptive Software
Holger Giese
Date: | 08.06.2011 |
Duration: | 00:13:08 |
Language: | en |
Description of the series:
While software is an immaterial object that does not decay with time, it is in fact "aging" - as Parnas puts it – as we usually fail to adapt the software such that it meets our changing needs and make the software less valuable by doing the changes not careful enough. One of Lehman's laws of software evolution accordingly states that a system that is being used undergoes continuing adaption or degrades in effectiveness. Consequently, we can observe that the ability to cost-effectively adapt software has become one of the most important critical success factors for software development today.
In this lecture we want review how software adaption is addressed at several levels and how far these approaches are able to cope with the need for cost-effective software adaption. We will at first review the need for adaption and study which different forms of adaption are relevant. We will then look into the classical software maintenance lifecycle phase and how required adaption due to changes in the environment is handled there. Then, we will look into approaches that contribute to better adaptable software where the costs for later adaption steps are reduced by taking the need for adaption into account upfront. Both directions are highly relevant, but cannot prevent that still major costs result due to the required adaption. Even worth, it seems that we can only limit the effects of the changes but cannot prevent aging in general. Therefore, also the idea to automate software adaption in form of self-adaptive software has been raised and we will look into such self-adaptive software. As it has the capability to adjust itself in response to changes in the environment, it promises to considerably reduce the costs for required adaption and to avoid a decline in quality. We will discuss existing proposals and solutions as well as its current limitations.

Welcome Lee. Love the Mach1. Red is my favorite after Black. They are fun to own and drive. Again welcome.
Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself! My name is Lee and i have just recently purchased an 03 Mach 1 5speed in torch red. This is my second mustang that i have owned and it's the only Mach 1 that i have seen in person in my area!
Welcome Lee. Love the Mach1. Red is my favorite after Black. They are fun to own and drive. Again welcome.
Welcome Lee
Thank you Lee. The Black on Black has a stealthy appearance. Looks much better in person. There was a good reason Ford kept the Black stripe on black. It accents the Shaker Scoop, so that it blends together. If there were a lighter stripe, it would break up the flow and not look right. Which some have done. I don't know if you know about 'Mach1Registry.com'. My wife's Mach is registered there as ConsMach. You should join also, cause there is a section on M1R to get a Certificate of Authenticity, which we got ourselves. Don't remember the cost, but I know it wasn't over 40.00. You get a breakdown of the production of Color, Interior and Transmission. We found ours to be 1 of 217, and my wife got a personal county tag that says 1 of 217. In the ATTACHMENT I added, you will kinda see on the bottom right what comes with the Certificate. Well worth it Lee. Good heads heads up thinking of it. So check out Mach1 Registry, I think you'll join.

thank's for the info, i have the mach 1 registry on my Facebook page but had trouble down loading the information to my e mail! Any way my car is in the shop now having warranty work done on the transmission and all of the paperwork is still in the glove box so i don't have my vin handy, but i am still going to figure out how to down load it!
Well, I hope you get it ordered. It is worth it.

Published in 1936, Gone with the Wind became an immediate best-seller, bringing first-time novelist Margaret Mitchell an overwhelming amount of critical and popular attention. Awarded the 1937 Pulitzer Prize, the novel was adapted as a film in 1939—an achievement that won ten Academy Awards. A historical romance set in northern Georgia during the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction years, Gone with the Wind traces the life of Scarlett O'Hara and her relationships with Rhett Butler, and Ashley and Melanie Wilkes. The novel addresses such themes as survival, romantic love, and the societal structuring of gender and class.
Early appraisals of the novel noted its memorable characters and historical accuracy as well as Mitchell's remarkable storytelling ability, though other reviews dismissed the novel as melodramatic and trite. Mitchell drew on her extensive knowledge of Civil War history in order to establish a believable setting for Gone with the Wind, but also spent considerable time fact-checking in the Atlanta Public Library. Biographers and critics have discovered striking similarities between real people in Mitchell's life and characters in the novel, though whether Mitchell intentionally modeled her characters after people she knew is unclear. What remains certain, however, is that her powerful, enduring story of love and survival set in the pre- and postwar South has made Gone with the Wind one of the most popular novels in American history.

I purchased these home button stickers for my girls. The girls loved them! They have been on the iPod Touches for over a month now and they are still holding on. So I am pleased. Good value.
I bought two different kinds, one is the animal prints and the other one is the pattern one. I gave to co-workers, and they loved them.
Why not buy something this cheap that makes using your phone so much easier. LOVE I often get, "What is that" My answer is, "want one? I have several." I am still using the first one I applied 4 months ago and is not loose at all.
Love this little thing! super cute and functional. I've had mine on for several months and has not fallen off nor faded. ONE PROBLEM with this though...if you have a case with a cover (iPad), it will depress the button too often!! I wind up having to turn off the iPad completely so it doesnt turn on that voice speaker asking for question, or just inadvertently turning on the thing. But -- overall works great on my iPhone especially since (sometimes) that button gets stuck and I have to push hard a few times to get it to work, this cover makes pressing it easier. I get compliments all the times and people asks where I "got that"..

NEW YORK -- Fisker Automotive may not build its next line of hybrid cars at the former General Motors plant near Newport as planned, the company's CEO revealed Tuesday at the unveiling of the midsize sedan that was expected to rejuvenate Delaware's auto industry.
Problems with securing the next installment of a Department of Energy loan have forced the company to seek other possible manufacturing sites for the Atlantic, a sporty four-door that is meant to power mass-market sales for the California company.
Interest in funding and building the car has been on the rise in Europe, company CEO Tom LaSorda told auto industry reporters at the Atlantic's unveiling.
"[Delaware] is still our primary choice, but we're looking at other options," LaSorda said, adding that the Delaware site's status as a "greenfield" helps its case. If the Delaware plant is not chosen as the Atlantic's manufacturing base, it still would be possible that other models may eventually be built there.
The governor's office said it would protect Delaware's interests while still working to bring Fisker to the state.
"When Fisker and the Department of Energy reached an impasse over the distribution of the remaining loan, Fisker made clear they did not have the capital necessary to build out the Boxwood Road plant, said Brian Selander, spokesman for Gov, Jack Markell.
"If it becomes clear that Fisker's need for additional capital leads them to build elsewhere, we will vigorously enforce our rights to recovery under the state's loan agreement with the company."
There had been signs of possible trouble with Fisker building in Delaware.
When LaSorda was announced as CEO in February, he said production in Delaware relied on securing "alternative sources of financing."
But some in Delaware remain confident that Fisker can become a reality.
"No one is better prepared to do this than Delaware today. Rather than start all over again, let's move forward. ... They say this is still their primary location, so let's do it. Let's sit down and work it out and move forward," said Alan Levin, director of the Delaware Economic Development Office, said Tuesday night. Read more

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Coleridge's masterpiece, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, was first published as part of the Lyrical Ballads (1798), which thereby secured its position as one of the landmark poems of its age, despite its archaic ballad form. Structured as a frame narrative, the poem begins with the Mariner's detaining a guest on his way to a wedding with the spellbinding account of a most strange ocean voyage. The Mariner tells of a southbound voyage to the Antarctic. He describes how the ship, as it clears the horizon, ominously dips below the church and below all of civilized and conventional authority, descending toward the unknown, the wild, and the hellish. Reaching the frozen, seemingly blank, polar world, the sailors call to and feed a white albatross, a large seabird, as an apparent friend or messenger from another realm. The Mariner inexplicably shoots it, sacrificing it, innocent and pure, with his crossbow (echoing Easter imagery). Thereupon, the ship idles without wind to move it while the superstitious crew grows increasingly thirsty and hangs the dead bird around the Mariner's neck to punish him for his cruelty, which they feel in some way has stalled their trip.
At last, a ship is sighted, but it is a skeleton ship, carrying the Spectre-Woman, "Life-in-Death," and her mate Death, who are types of avenging spirits of the albatross. The two of them toss dice to determine who will decide the fate of the Mariner's ship, and the...

Overview (Masterplots II: Christian Literature)
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner begins with one of three wedding guests being accosted by the Ancient Mariner and kept from attending the wedding first by the Mariner's grasp and then by his hypnotic gaze as the Mariner begins to tell the story of his fateful voyage. The Mariner gives no reason for the voyage, saying that they sailed south until they reached the South Pole, where they became icebound and enshrouded in fog. They see and hear nothing but the ice
The ice was here, the ice was there,The ice was all around:It cracked and growled, and roared and howled,Like noises in a swound
Then an albatross flies into view through the fog. Happy to see another living creature, the men aboard the ship treat it "As if it had been a Christian soul" and they hail it "in God's name." It circles the ship, accepting the crew's hospitable offerings of food, and then the ice splits and a wind begins to blow, allowing the ship to move again.
For nine days the bird follows the ship, coming when the men call and occasionally perching on or near the mast. Then, for no reason, the Mariner shoots it with his crossbow. His shipmates' initial responses are horror and anger. They blame him for killing the creature responsible for the wind that helped free them from the ice and fear...
(The entire section is 923 words.)
On a superficial level, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" can be read as a tale of horror in which a mariner is hounded by disaster and supernatural forces after murdering an albatross. But it is much more than that. Coleridge clearly tries to make the supernatural elements of the poem appear as integral parts of the natural world. His underlying theme is that all things that inhabit the natural world have an inherent value and beauty, and that it is necessary for humanity to recognize and respect these qualities. The simple action of the plot, initiated by the mariner's unthinking, destructive act, leads to his tribulations and consequent maturation. "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is an excellent example of Romantic poetry and is often read to understand the characteristics of this poetic genre.

In New York for the United Nations General Assembly, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili strides down the street at a brisk pace, his security details hustling to keep up, a man with a lot on his mind.
On Monday his country holds crucial parliamentary elections. The outcome will affect not only parliament but the structure of political power in Georgia, and the role of the presidency, almost nine years after the Rose Revolution brought Saakashvili to power.
Until recently, the ruling party, the United National Movement, has controlled much of political life in this country of 4.5 million people. Georgia has thrown off the shackles of its Soviet past. There are new, gleaming skyscrapers. According to U.S. and European officials, the Georgian government has made progress in the fight against corruption and has continued economic reform.
But critics, who have coalesced into the "Georgian Dream" alliance led by billionaire businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili, say reform is only skin-deep, charging that Saakashvili is pulling all the levers of Soviet-style "administrative measures." They have raised concerns about a level playing field for the opposition during this election, alleging harassment and limitations on their access to the media.
In an interview with CNN, however, Saakashvili claimed that he can guarantee that the elections will be free and fair.
"Not only I can guarantee that," he said, but "the international community says that they will be competitive, free and fair. That's what the preliminary reports of international organizations have clearly said."
He continued: "But I think the ultimate guarantor is our people. Our people have changed. I think they have moved beyond the stage where any ruler, any government official or any big money guy from the opposition can manipulate the results of the election."
That "big money guy" is how Saakashvili refers to the opposition leader Ivanishvili. The president accuses Ivanishvili of wanting to "buy the whole system," and sees the hand of Russia behind him, with which Georgia fought a brief but bitter war four years ago.
The president said he is concerned with the amount of wealth that Ivanishvili made in Russia, and that that money is being used to influence the elections.
"We know what Russian money is all about," he said. "How it was made, what kind of methods were used, and certainly it is a source of concern," he said.
Those charges are false stereotypes, Ivanishvili told CNN in a phone interview from the Georgian capital, Tbilisi.
A self-made businessman who made his money in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union, Ivanishvili left Russia shortly after Vladimir Putin came to power.
His staff confirms his status as Georgia's richest man, with a fortune estimated at approximately $6.4 billion, equal to almost half of Georgia's economic output.
"It's not money and wealth which is my capital," he said. "It's trust from the people toward me. Money has nothing to do with this."
The billionaire said he has sold all his Russian assets, and defended his reputation.
"(Saakashvili) cannot find a single black spot," he said.
But the president insisted that not only the opposition leader but Putin himself is trying to undermine Georgia.
"Vladimir Putin said clearly that he is interested in the Georgian election outcome. He clearly said that he wanted the Georgian government out. He clearly said that he wanted me to be physically destroyed, he said it publicly," Saakashvili said.
Georgia's electoral waters have been roiled by a shocking video that emerged this month showing abuse in a Georgian prison, including one male prisoner being sexually assaulted. The opposition claims the video is proof of a repressive system put in place by Saakashvili and his government.
Saakashvili said his government acted quickly and decisively to the video, citing an investigation that has led to arrests.
"Not only were the immediate perpetrators arrested," he said, "but two government ministers resigned because they shared political responsibility for allowing the system to fail."
The torture shown on the video is no accident, but part of a system that is in shame, Ivanishvili said.
Thomas de Waal, an expert on Georgia and senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, said the video is significant, as the prison population quadrupled over the last eight or nine years.
"I do think it (the video) supports the opposition narrative that the government is arrogant and unaccountable, and this is obviously a war of two narratives over Georgia that we're seeing in this election," he said.
Georgia, which contributed troops to the NATO coalitions in Iraq and Afghanistan, is a strategic partner of the United States and its elections are being closely watched in the West.

We get lots of the same questions over and over again, which mostly can be answered with the same exact answer, or very close, or which must be answered with a slew of questions because there isn't enough info.
So, for each person that normally answers such things, rather than using your time to answer a specific thread's question like this, in future, I propose that instead you spend your time writing the answer as a Wiki article, in the ES Wiki:
and then post a link to your article in the thread asking the question, with a recommendation that they first read the article, then come back with specific questions not answered there.
Right now, lots of us could be writng up wiki articles based on various subjects we know, or garnering good info out of really long threads and making a concise article in the wiki about it. But there is not much time to do that after spending sometimes hours each day answering the same old quesitons over and over again.
How about it? Will you donate your time to the wiki and future help of everyone? Or just keep answering the same things over and over again.

TUESDAY, March 5, 1861.On motion by Mr. MURRAY, the reading of yesterday's journal was dispensed with.
By Mr. DEHART : In behalf of citizens of Cass county, raying an adjustment of our national difficulties upon the basis set forth in President Lincoln's Inaugural Address.
By Mr. WILLIAMS :From 70 citizens of Knox county, without respect to party, praying for an adjustment of our national troubles upon the basis of the Crittenden amendments, or some other basis equally fair and honorable.
Which were referred to the Committee on Federal Relations under the Rules.
By Mr. RAY: From the late Attorney General, objecting to some words in debate having a personal reflection upon him: which was laid upon the table, and ordered not to be spread upon the journals.
By Mr. GRUBB: Praying the Legislature to make a liberal appropriation in aid of the suffering in Kansas; which was referred to the Committee on Finance.
On motion by Mr. WAGNER, the Senate proceeded to the consideration of Senate bills on the last reading.
Senator O'Brien's bill 85-see page 104 of these Reports-was read, (he said the only object of the bill is to legalize assessment lists where they are not returned in the time prescribed by law) and finally passed by yeas 37, nays 1.
Senator Cobb's bill 119-see page 163-was read, (he said there was but one change in the present law made, viz: striking out the word "incorporated") and finally passed by yeas 40, nays 1.
Senator March's bill 111 was read.
Mr. MARCH. I desire only to say that this bill was introduced at the request of those who have the University in charge. It is an amendment to the 23d section of a law passed at the last session Of the Legislature. The bill authorizes the appropriation of $20,000 of the fund arising from the sale of University lands for the payment of its debts. The University is in debt nearly that much, the interest is becoming due, and is harrassing and obstructing the operation of the institution; so that it is thought best to pay off the debt at once.
The bill finally passed-yeas 42, nays 0.
Senator Beeson's bill 169-described on page 212 of these Reports-was read the third time.
Mr. BEESON. This bill simply alters the old law incorporating companies for manufacturing purposes, by giving them the power to increase their capital stock.
Mr. CRAVEN, by unanimous consent, amended the bill by a provision authorizing the consolidation of certain offices of said companies, &c.
The bill finally passed: yeas 38, nays 1.
The Committee on Roads' bill 129-described on page 184 of these Reports-was read the third time.
Mr. WHITE. This bill is certainly proposing to amend a law that has been repealed. I have a bill on the files which ean be amended so as to cover the object of this bill, and I move to lay this bill on the table.
The motion was agreed to.
Senator Culver's bill 108 was read the third time.
Mr. CULVER. This bill proposes that a certain number of property holders may petition county commissioners to organize turnpike companies. If the county commissioners deem the road of public utility, they may grant the petitioners power to organize a company. It takes a majority of the property holders within three quarters of a mile on each side of the road, with the consent of the county commissioners, who shall appoint an assessor who shall assess the cost of the road. It provides that the road after a certain length of time shall be free, thus avoiding any constitutional objection. I think the law proposed page: 338[View Page 338] by the bill is a good one. It does not tax any property inside of any incorporated town or village.
The bill finally passed : yeas 26, nays 13.
Senator Newcomb's bill 144-see page 185 of these Reports-was read.
Mr. CLAYPOOL, by consent, amended the bill, by providing that all lands owned by any county for a poorhouse be situate in the county owning the same.
Mr. JOHNSON made an ineffectual motion to recommit the bill, with instructions to amend as follows:
Section -. Every building used for the purpose of raising a family, in compliance with the commands of Heaven, that man should be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, and the land whereon such building may be situate, not exceeding 160 acres.
Mr. MILLER. A bill has passed the Senate amending this same section, in which the amount of land exempt to manual labor-schools was 160 acres. This bill leaves it as in the present law, 320 acres. I move to amend this bill in that particular, that it may not repeal my bill which has already passed.
No objection being made, the bill was amended, and then finally passed, by yeas 27, nays 16.Senator Conner's 187see page 233was read and finally passed by yeas 37, nays 2.
The Judiciary Committee's bill 166-see page 212 of these Reports-was read the third time.
Mr. CLAYPOOL moved to recommit the bill with instructions, viz.: "if he be a married man, save and except his household goods to the amount of $300." Unless this amendment be adopted, the bill would be as inhuman as imprisonment for debt.
Mr. MILLER thought the bill good enough as it is, and objected to the amendment.
The motion to recommit was agreed to.
Senator Anthonys' bill 146-described on page 185 of these Reports-was read.
Mr. ANTHONY. This bill can be explained in a few words. It is to prevent hangers on about, court-houses to be eternally put upon juries. If they have served upon a jury within the past year, it makes that a good ground for challenge.
Mr. WOLFE thought the law would operate badly.
The bill finally passed: yeas 27, nays 12. .Senator March's bill [206] to amend section 99 of the Practice act, was read the third time.
Mr. MARCH. The Supreme Court have recently decided that unless the court act upon a motion to correct judgment within one year it cannot be acted upon at all. The object of this amendment is that if this proceeding is applied for within the year, then the court can act at any time when it comes in order upon the docket.
The bill finally passed: yeas 38, nays 0.
Senator Bearss' [214] to raise the salary of common pleas judge from $1,000 to $1,200, was read the third time, and on motion by Mr. MURRAY-yeas 27, nays 11-laid on the table.
On motion by Mr. LINE, the bill S. 210, appropriating $500 annually in aid of the Indiana Historical Society was read.
Mr. LINE. Minnesota appropriates annually $1,000, Iowa $500, and it does seem to me Indiana can be as liberal as they.
Mr. RAY. The bankrupt condition of those States is a poor commentary upon their liberality. This Historical Society is a mere sinecure to support one or two literary gentlemen to enable them to get along without much exertion mentally or physically. He should have to vote against the bill.
Mr. HAMILTON was in favor of the passage of the bill.
Mr. CARNAHAN had visited the rooms of this association since the subject was last before the Senate; was gratified at what he saw, and thought he should now vote for the pass- age of this bill.
Mr. MARCH, in a matter of this kind, was willing to follow the venerable gentleman from Posey, (Mr. Carnahan.)The bill finally passed; yeas 26, nays 12.
On motion by Mr. MARCH, his bill 245, for the relief of Joseph Moore, was read and finally passed by yeas 39, nays 0.
On motion by Mr. WHITE, his bill 193-described on page 237 of these Reports-was taken up and read the third time, and finally passed by yeas 37, nays 1.
Mr. CONLEY offered the following:
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be requested to report to this General Assembly, at an early day, their opinion as to the length of time that this Legislature may legally and constitutionally pass bills and present them to the Governor for his signature.
Which was adopted by consent.
Mr. LINE offered the following:
Resolved, That the number of copies of the BREVIER LEGISLATIVE REPORTS which the Senate has agreed to take, shall be held subject to the written directions of each Senator, without any additional expense of the publishers.
Which was adopted, nem. con.
Senator Conley's bill 55, appropating $30 to each Senator and Representative of future legislatures for the purpose of furnishing newspapers, stationary and postage was finally passed by yeas 33, nays 8.Senator Bearss' 233-see page 272 of these reports-was read the third time and finally passed by yeas 29, nays 6.
Mr. MILLER, from the Judiciary Committee, returned the bill H. R. 64-see page 71 of these reports-recommending passage with amendment.
Mr. DEHART, from the Judiciary Committee, returned a resolution of inquiry concerning a law fixing a uniform price for publishing the delinquent tax list, with a report recommending the passage of Senator Bearss 8 bill 233 just passed.

Indian and Himalayan Art Krishna and Balarama Hear About the Demon in the Palm Grove Probably made in Himachal Pradesh, India, Asia c. 1870-80 Artist/maker unknown, India Opaque watercolor on paper Currently not on view 2001-43-2 125th Anniversary Acquisition. Alvin O. Bellak Collection, 2001 |
LabelKrishna and Balarama, wearing crowns, are asked by a group of cowherd boys to kill the dreaded donkey demon Dhenuka, who lives in the grove of palm trees and eats anyone who enters. Despite differences in pose, color, and dress, all of the boys have the same face and the palm trees differ only in size. Although this painting was produced much later than other Panjab Hills paintings, it still features the idealized pastel landscape developed a century before. Now, however, the earlier fine and varied detail has become a cartoonlike repetition. It seems likely that this page was painted for a patron in the Panjab Plains who owned several earlier, partial Pahari Bhagavata Purana series and wanted to complete them or add additional sections. |

Sorry if I offended any Pakistani posters on here, that wasn't my intention. It was simply my observations on how this game was panning out. Dire.

"Oh my God, there's a castle! A castle!"
Even if the Aussies manage to fail to reach 205 runs, India will be out of it. Unless they beat WI really, really big!
Australia will fancy chasing this down, but Pakistan have a good bowling attack. Will Mohammad Asif be able to pull off something special on his comeback? There's also the spin duo of Ajmal and Afridi, so it should be interesting. Let's wait and see. Join us in sometime for the chase..
Cricinfo trying hard . BTW disgraceful. Not a good advert for an ODI game
i have seen Srilanka & India playing fixed matches in last two Asia Cups
on both occasions Srilanks lost to india & Pakistan were out of the tournament & in Final Srilanka beat India easily
That's not a fixed match though. A fixed match, to me at least, implies that you're fixing it for sinister reasons (ie. money), whereas if Pakistan have deliberately turned in a below-par performance here, it's more just making a strategic decision, albeit unsportingly, based on the set-up of the tournament. There's definitely a difference.

Have you been tested?
In memory of Fardin Qayyumi, a true legend of CW
Fixed doesn't mean that u take money to lose
but every team should do it's best to win every game
Maybe Australia just bowled well in the middle? The score when I first looked didn't look as though Pakistan weren't trying. I am only following online though.
Anyway, I hope Australia win and get through. They were most likely going to beat India before it rained so it seems only fair.

Article Title:
ABC Basic Delineation #5
Date Published:
- by
Marion March
Correct Birth Data
[Note: This article first appeared in the Spring 1983 edition of Aspects Astrological Magazine.)
For the last four years I have discussed different aspects of "Basic Delineation," including the importance of the overview, of configurations, of house positions, rulerships, etc., but not once did I mention my pet peeve: inaccurate or sloppy birth data. Yet without the proper time of birth we cannot possibly have an accurate delineation!
My respected friend and colleague Lois Rodden has been the foremost crusader in this field and made us all aware of our gullibility. Time and again she has presented us with 2, 3 or even 4 different birth times. Her "The American Book of Charts" brims with DD (dirty data) horoscopes. A perfect example is architect Frank Lloyd Wright, supposedly born June 8, 1867 at 8 p.m. LMT.
States Rodden: "The Penfield Collection quotes documents at Columbia University for June 8, 1867, these include his mother's diary. He himself also stated that he was born in the evening in the middle of a storm. Yet the Church of Light (for many years a good source of data) quotes Ziegler at June 8, 1869 at 6:05 a.m.; World Book and other encyclopedias also quote 1869."
Rodden has divided her data into four categories: A = Accurate Date (birth certificate, in person, hospital records). B = Biographies. C = Caution (non-documented or no source origin). D = Dirty Data with two or more conflicting statements. In our book, "The Only Way to Learn Astrology," we [Joan McEvers & Marion March] have gratefully adopted this system. But I would urge even greater caution in accepting the personal testimony of birth time.
A case in point is the chart of psychologist and care for the dying expert Elizabeth Kübler-Ross. In a biography titled "Quest - The Life of Elizabeth Kübler-Ross" by Derek Gill and epilogue by Kübler-Ross, it states: "In the late afternoon of July 8, 1926 all appeared normal in the delivery room in Zurich, Switzerland…The fair-haired woman on the table seemed in the final stages of labor…as the delivery room drama moved to a climax, the obstetrician cupped her hands to receive the infant now struggling to escape the birth canal. One minute later a child was born…It weighed exactly two pounds. But shortly after Emma Kübler was delivered of a second child, a two pound replica of the first; a moment later a third child, weighing a healthy six pounds, was born…The firstborn [of the] triplet[s] was named Elizabeth…"
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
Zurich, Switzerland, 8E32, 47N23
July 8, 1926
First Time given: 5:30 p.m., Zone -1
A brief synopsis of Gill's biography will help in our delineation. This book reveals a life marked throughout by a sense of destiny, courage, resolution and service to others. She became almost an alter ego to her identical triplet Erika who was very sick as a teenager. At 18 she left home alone to see what she could do for the war-ravaged people of France and then Poland. Against the wishes of her formidable father she struggled to become a physician.
After her marriage to an American medical student and her emigration to New York, she became a psychiatrist working among mental patients labeled hopeless. With her determination and dedication, she brought many of them back to health. Eventually she was drawn to those most truly abandoned by our society, namely the dying. Her accomplishments in this field are legion; so was her best-selling book "On Death and Dying."
Kübler-Ross is an ardent hiker, mountain climber and skier. She admits to a short fuse, great highs and lows and an overly idealistic nature. She has an excellent memory, nearly total recall, and she is a workaholic. She has a son, Ken, born in 1960 and a daughter, Barbara born 1964.
You would think that a biography with an epilogue by the person in question signifies an endorsement of the facts stated in the book. Therefore "late afternoon" would be between 5 and 6 p.m. A chart erected for 5:30 p.m. and labeled "B" according to the Rodden system, has Sagittarius rising, the ruler Jupiter is in Aquarius in the 3rd house of communications and siblings. It is involved in a challenging T-square with Saturn in the 12th house of psychology and hospitals and with Neptune in the 9th house of philosophy and expansion. The sun is in caring and nurturing Cancer, is conjunct Pluto in the 8th house of death and dying. Pretty convincing case, wouldn't you say?
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
Zurich, Switzerland, 8E32, 47N23
July 8, 1926
Second time given: 10:15 p.m.
But read on! After a lecture by Kübler-Ross, Linda Clark, one of my students, questioned her on her birth data. The rather firm reply was: "I was born on July 8, 1926 in Zurich at 10:15 p.m." That chart has the Ascendant at 27 Aquarius. The ruler Uranus in the 1st shows her self-expression and unique approach to life. The Sun, Pluto and the Moon are in the creative 5th house, all in the caring sign of Cancer. The T-square, always an indication of how the planets integrate and where the individual will place the emphasis, falls in the 12th, the 9th, and the 6th house of health.
Again, a very convincing chart, and one rated "A" since the data was received from the lady herself. But read on!
In September of 1980, Lois Rodden received the copy of a letter from Mrs. Kübler Ross, written in response to seeing a published chart based on her own quote of 10:15 p.m. Part of that letter read: "I am aware that until recently I presumed my birthtime was 10:15 p.m., but recently I found out that it was 10:45 p.m. on July 8, 1926 in Zurich, Switzerland." She then goes on asking for some information regarding this new horoscope.
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
Zurich, Switzerland, 8E32, 47N23
July 8, 1926
Third time reported: 10:45 p.m.
Well - now we finally have the real "A" data (we hope!) What does this chart tell us? A Pisces Ascendant, ruler Neptune in the 6th house of health and service, involved in the previously discussed and always important T-square with Jupiter in the 12th house of doctors and Saturn in the 8th house of death in the transmuting and transforming sign Scorpio.
The Sun and Pluto are still in the 5th house of love, children and creating; Uranus still occupies the 1st house to explain her uniqueness, but now we also find Mars there to explain her independence of action and self-determination. (Rather than Mars in the 2nd house of possessions and financial emphasis, as the 10:15 p.m. chart would indicate.) Venus, planet of affection, is located in the 3rd house of siblings.
What is the moral of all this? First of all, be very careful with your acceptance of data, especially when someone gives you the time without checking some birth records. Very few people have as good a memory as they think, and even those who do often juxtapose figures. I have learned the hard way that "mother said I was born at 9:07" is frequently 7:09 when the birth certificate or hospital records are consulted. "I remember exactly" often means as much as 12 hours off, since a.m. and p.m. become muddled in the mind as time goes by.
Secondly, please realize that you can find substantiation for many character traits if you look hard enough. In hindsight, or by knowing what to look for, you can easily fit a chart to a person; in fact, as you just saw, you can make 2 or even 3 charts fit. Therefore, approach each Midheaven and Ascendant with a grain of caution and distrust and rely on a more in-depth interpretation than just the house positions.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Opening an outdoor firing range in Cumberland County would require a series of public hearings, under a slate of rules discussed Wednesday by the county's Land Use Codes Committee.
The rules would allow shooting ranges in the county on agricultural or industrial land, but only under conditional zoning. That means public hearings would be needed before any new range could open.
Under the rules, ranges must be at least 500 acres in size and be certified as following federal safety and environmental guidelines.
The rules would not cover occasional target practice on private property or temporary turkey shoots not conducted for any more than 12 days in a calendar year.
"Shooting ranges," committee member Lori Epler said, "are a different animal."
The rules must be approved by the Joint Planning Board and the county commissioners before taking effect.
"It needs to come before the planning board and the commissioners, absolutely," committee member Sara Piland said. "I think we have an obligation to protect our communities."
The county has never had a zoning classification for firing ranges. Controversy over the approval of the TigerSwan firearms training center near Stedman as a school prompted the county to begin work on a specific set of rules, with the help of range masters and law enforcement officers.
TigerSwan's permit is awaiting Supreme Court review after neighbors sued over it. The county subsequently permitted TigerSwan as outdoor recreation for profit. That's also awaiting court review.
The new rules, if adopted, would not apply to TigerSwan and the handful of other existing firing ranges in the county. But if the courts closed TigerSwan, it could apply for a new permit under the new rules, planning staff said.
About 20 people showed up for Wednesday's meeting, which did not include a public comment period.
The first public hearing on the proposed rules will happen when they are heard by the planning board Feb. 19.

Should the 'Buffett Rule' Become Law? >
'Buffett Rule' Strengthens America's Backbone
The "Buffett rule" levels the playing the field for America's middle class
April 16, 2012
As we say in the Midwest, you do not fertilize a tree from the top down, you fertilize the roots. The "Buffet rule" reflects that kind of midwestern wisdom and decency.
[See pictures of Americans searching for work.]
It defies common sense that many middle-class Iowans should pay a higher tax rate than the 400 richest Americans, making over $110 million per year and paying only 18 percent in income taxes. Not only does this fly in the face of the common sense standards of a democratic society, but it also undermines the middle class, the backbone of the American economy, by helping to concentrate wealth among a very few rich Americans, and by denying our country the resources to make the investments that have sustained the middle class—everything from education to infrastructure—that has made America the strongest economy in the world.
The Buffet rule tackles this problem head on and levels the playing the field for America's middle class. It is part of legislation I recently introduced—the Rebuild America Act—and it should become law.

Weight loss needs making correct eating choices as its first and foremost requirement. Nothing would be more crucial than to eat the right kinds of foods in order to provide adequate nourishment to the vital organs as well as allocating the right amount of calories for the body's daily energy expenditure. That is why people retain too much body fats and eventually become overweight or obese because they have not established a balance between their calorie consumption and energy expenditure. Establishing a balanced diet is essential if you want to prevent chronic diseases and deadly infections.
The best method of getting rid of excess body fats while still protecting the body's normal processes is to target our internal health by making correct eating choices immediately. Do not immediately focus on maintaining a fitness plan that would enhance your muscles and shape up your figure. The key to shaping up is to improve the internal body system and the physical aspect will just follow. Once you have cleanse out the body of toxins and unhealthy chemicals, it will be easier for you to work on your physique. Sculpting and shaping up is easy when you are feeling good from the inside. The immune system is also strengthened when you work on getting the best nutrients for the vital organs.
By focusing on the internal health first, it will be easier for you to go through physical exercises that will demand a certain level of energy. By making correct eating choices, you can adequately power up the body without gaining too much weight. Creating an equilibrium between your caloric intake and energy conversion should also be matched with the consumption of essential vitamins and minerals that fortify the immune system against communicable and chronic diseases. We recommend adding garcinia cambogia extract weight loss pills.
By immediately correcting your bad eating habits, you will be able to nourish the vital organs and keep it away from deficiencies and complications. But most importantly, give up your unhealthy habits such as drinking of too much alcohol and smoking of cigarettes. Lastly, enjoy your rest days and make sure to get enough sleep at the end of the day. Give yourself a break and do not be too stressed at work.

Conditions of Use
I had some mixed feelings about Seedfolks. I liked the message it was sending, which was "People can come together and be friends, no matter wht the circumstance is." The book itself I thought was boring. I felt like their was no point to it. Multiple characters came along and shared their thoughts and opinions, but there was no storyline or point to any of it. Since my stance on the book is that it has no plot, I don't have a favorite character. If I had to choose ONE character, I would choose the little girl who started the whole garden. A little girl who wnted to do something important for herself, then started a chain reaction is pretty cool.
I liked all of the activities that we did in our classes. They were fun and really connected to the book. My favorite activity was Mr. Howard's Aluminum Can Flower Project. It was easy, but the end result was very interesting.

Sales of games on the PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 have dropped precipitously in recent years as mobile gaming — on smartphones and tablets — has become more popular.
