One year after its acquisition by AOL, The Huffington Post has become a source of growth for the beleaguered company, which is still trying to shed its dial-up Internet image. Now, in what Arianna Huffington characterises as a move to keep the websites growth accelerating, she has taken several of its business functions out of AOL and under her control.
The revamping, she said, is intended to help The Huffington Post maintain the innovative spirit of a start-up. Technology, business development, marketing and communications units that were woven into AOL last year will begin to report to her. The advertising sales unit will remain inside AOL at the moment, she said.
The shifts, said Huffington, the sites co-founder, will let The Huffington Post add sections and products more quickly. The changes appear to give Huffington more authority within the closely watched media company, where her title is president and editor in chief of the Huffington Post Media Group. She will continue to report to Tim Armstrong, the AOL chief executive, whose contract was extended last week to run through early 2016.
In the year after the merger, editors reported to Huffington, but employees in other departments, like technology and marketing, reported to various departments in AOL. The latest reorganisation was approved by Armstrong and AOLs executive committee, she said.
When asked if there was a plan to make the site fully independent again, apart from AOL, Huffington said, Theres no such plan.
AOL has been great for The Huffington Post, she said. We could not have possibly had the growth weve had without the help of AOL.
On Thursday, Huffington is expected to announce that she has chosen Lauren Kapp, a top executive at NBC News, to run global strategy, marketing and communications. The global strategy piece is especially significant, Huffington said, because we have plans to grow in many more countries.
In the last year, the website started four international editions in Canada, including a French edition in Quebec, Britain and France and announced plans for two more in Spain and Italy.

4th and within 0.4 sec of the pole. At first glance this looks like a terrific result.
But it isn't.
Barbera outqualified Nicky on a non-works bike, Stoner never got a clear lap, and Crutchlow & Spies both lost time with crashes.
This isn't going to be enough for Ducati to rethink their intentions for Crutchlow if Rossi stays or thwart Audi's jingoistic predisposition to sign Bradl if Rossi leaves.

Obama's greatness only through government
Presidents can be puzzling. They campaign high, but govern low … except sometimes. They tack one way, then another. But occasionally they let slip what they're really about. Arguably, Barack Obama did this in his commencement address at Ohio State University last month.
The president's theme was citizenship, and he spoke of it in morally exalted and traditional terms: "a recognition we are not a collection of strangers; we are bound to one another by a set of ideals and laws and commitments, and a deep devotion to this country that we love." He highlighted the neighborly acts of "courage and compassion" occasioned by hurricane devastations and the Boston bombing.
From citizenship as private charity and initiative, he then presented it "in its fullest sense … at the national level" as self-government, but defining it as something the Founders, whom he honored for it, would not recognize: progressive liberalism.
Political self-government is people governing their common affairs largely but not exclusively through elected and publicly accountable representatives. Obama captures this sense when he refers to doing "big things and important things together that we could not possibly do alone." He mentions infrastructure and space exploration. But in the next breath he moves on to public schools and healthcare, as if schooling and doctor visits also necessarily required grand, national undertakings. Give us your poor, your aged, your children, heck, even your periodic medical checkups, and we'll take care of them so you can breathe free.
He completed his rhetorical maneuver, saying, "We, the people, chose to do these things together—because we know this country cannot accomplish great things if we pursue nothing greater than our own individual ambition." Here he reduced all private action to individual selfishness. Great endeavors come only through government.
The heart of progressivism is the scientific administration of people's lives by those who know better, i.e., not only how to achieve public goals but what those goals ought to be. Progressives like our current president see every attempt to keep the administrative state small and accountable, and to reserve decision-making as close to the people as possible, as trying to "gum up the works," as he put it.
So does Obama favor civic participation or passive enjoyment of government care? He says he deplores spectator citizenship, generously quoting his Republican predecessor: "America needs more than taxpayers, spectators, and occasional voters. America needs full-time citizens." Yet that is precisely what the progressive state produces, unless participation means activism for further expanding the progressive state.
So it seems that if the dreams of our president come true through the OSU graduating class, our heritage of self-government or, citizenship "in its fullest sense," will be a civic life governed by the likes of the Internal Revenue Service, the Environmental Protect Agency, the Department of Education, and Obamacare. Inspiring.

Who Do I Think I Am?
Thanks for visiting! Listen to the Muse, and take her/his hand!! This site is designed to help you awaken and maintain your creative groove while you go about your daily chores of cleaning toilets and taking the trash out. Get your pens, pencils, crayons, clay, instruments, oils, voice, paintbrushes, and other artistic elements out of your respective hineys and get to work! Check out my Quit Farting Around and Ripple the Universe challenges for new ideas for making things. Have fun, hold hands with the Muse, and enjoy a creative day!
Recently, I began linking up with the Trifecta Writing Challenge, and they posted a meme for all their participants. I've posted it below.
- What is your name (real or otherwise)?
My name is Jennifer Worrell. I have been called a handful of other colorful names, but "quirky" is one of my favorites.
- Describe your writing style in three words.
Funny, twisted, irreverent
- How long have you been writing online?
I started in 2010, but then I got pregnant with my son. I abandoned my blog to work on another writing project; I couldn't do both because I was sick as a DOG! Hyperemesis is MISERABLE! I launched my blog again in February of 2012. I'm having a blast!
- Which, if any, other writing challenges do you participate in?
Mama Kat's Pretty Much World Famous Writing Workshop, The Write Word and the Wrong Word Challenges, Flog Yo Blog Fridays, Five Sentence Fiction, Write on Edge, and Yeah Write
- Describe one way in which you could improve your writing.
I could improve my writing by becoming a better editor. I tend to write something, check over it, and hit the publish key. I don't let things ruminate long enough because I don't have time.
- What is the best writing advice you've ever been given?
Just show up, and the ideas will come.
- Who is your favorite author?
Rita Mae Brown, Cathy Lamb, Sarah Addison Allen, and a bunch of non-fiction writers. I also haunt The Onion.
- How do you make time to write?
I just started writing while on the toilet.
- Give us one word we should consider using as a prompt. Remember–it must have a third definition.
My favorite word is "tintinnabulation." It only has one definition. I guess we're stuck with "benevolent."
- Direct us to one blog post of yours that we shouldn't miss reading.
Poop is a good one because it gives a great picture of my life and writing philosophy. It's also gross and kind of funny.
26 Comments (+add yours?)
Hi Jennifer! You have an interesting space here. Wanted to thank you for subscribing to my blog today. I really appreciate it, and look forward to getting to know you.
See? We are sisters in stairs. Ignore the peanut gallery, we've got to take care of our hearts.
Nice to meet you.
Hi Jennifer- found you via hughcurler who listed you from his One Lovely Blogger award. You are funny and irrelevant and that's a winning combo. Plus – you are a fellow hyperemesis mom and that struck a chord! I have three kids and had the blessed affliction all three times, even to the delivery table: push, barf, push, barf, repeat. Will be reading more of these great posts.

Parish Clerks About a week ago I was honorably released after 8 years of service as parish clerk in my LDS ward. I can't help but think of the parish clerks of many faiths who kept the records that have been so helpful to me in my own family history research. I feel a sense of brotherhood with them, and gratitude for their efforts.

"I was very pleased with the team's effort to end the season as district champs," said Coach Rhonda Perez.
The Lady Eaglets district record ended 6-1 and an overall season record of 11-3.
"These girls have been playing together since the fifth grade, they are a very disciplined and self-motivated group and are always ready to play," said Coach Perez.
Leading scorers for this game were Kasye McCool with 11 points, Jamie Wilson, 10 and Taylor Perez, 5.
"I look forward to watching this group of talented young ladies grow up to be outstanding athletes for Woodsboro High School," added Coach Perez. "I'd like to thank the parents for their support this year. Your children are a reflection of you and they are truly champions."

Is it time to improve team performance?
You have a team and you have to manage them, is that easier to say than do?
Perhaps you started your own firm because you really enjoy the work and you're good at it? Did you then find that "the people thing" was where it got more difficult? Suddenly you're working harder and getting less in return as your day is being soaked up by team activities with people that were supposed to be making your life easier? Team to GROW is a six month coaching programme that will help you transform the results you get from your team and your business.
Are you ready to:
- Improve Team performance
- Get better at Managing a team
- Have Team meetings that are actually worthwhile?
How good are you as a Team Leader?
Score you and your team out of 5 for each question. (score 1 if the item is not at all true, 5 if it's totally true and 2-4 to represent between the two)
- Your team all have clearly defined roles and get on with them.
- Your team work together, adding to each other's skills.
- When somebody is off for a few days, business carries on as normal and you don't really get involved.
- As things change, your team adapt easily.
- Your team are fully responsive to client needs and consistently exceed client requirements, whilst remaining within costs that you've set.
- Your team all fully support you and your vision for the future.
- Your team have clear guiding principles and use them when things are unclear, rather than bothering you all the time.
- You love appraisal time; it's a joy to celebrate success with such people.
- You have a low staff turnover (not none, but low)
How did you do? 40 or more – well done.
If you scored less than 40, I guess you're fed up of :
- Recruitment and leavers: You're always tied up helping new starters and looking for new team members?
- Having to think for them: They can do the basic tasks, but when it comes to something requiring an ounce of thought you have to step in and help?
- Over Managing: You have to tell them everything, time and time again.
- Meeting mayhem: Where everybody talks and nothing happens afterwards
- Battling over change: In your client facing firm client needs are always changing, but your team can't see that.
- Individualism: Team members working on their agenda's not yours.
Would you like it to be different?
Having helped many clients get more from their teams, we know that we can help you too.
Imagine being able to score yourself 45 or even 50 on that list above, how good would that feel. More importantly, what would that allow you to do? Spend more time developing the business, or maybe more time enjoying the fruits of your labour.
We created the Team to GROW programme to help you lead your team to greater success.
How long does the programme last?
The programme lasts 6 months. By the end of the programme, we are confident that you will be getting better results from your team and your firm. You will be able to focus "on the business", rather than "on the staff"
What happens once I've signed up?
In the first two months of the programme you will have two three hour sessions and a shorter action session with your coach where you will complete the following:
Session 1:
- Diagnose and Identify: What's going well and not so well? What are the main steps that need fixing? What is your vision for the team and how you will go about putting it into place
- Identification of KPIs to measure progress
- Your style: Complete a DISC analysis for your style and understand what that means for your team.
- Your feedback: Create the objectives for a feedback programme so your team can help you too.
- Your actions: Identify things that you can do that will start to change things.
Session 2
- Finalise your feedback programme, so it's ready to be used as soon as you are!
- Identify behaviours that are working well and what's not helping you
Session 3
- Your upward feedback session: A session facilitated by your coach where, having already collated feedback from your team, we review issues with you and your team. Creating an action plan to move jointly forwards, having understood the issues.
Session 4
- Action planning: Taking the actions from the upward feedback and putting a series of actions in place to create the environment you want.
After these four initial sessions, you will have monthly accountability calls with your coach. These will help you:
- stick to your plan and make it happen
- give you the accountability to implement your plans
- give you the time and space to reflect on progress and what you may need to change going forward
- help you over any confidence wobbles
- provide you a safe time to ask any questions or get help on any aspect of your plan
What do I get included in my programme?
As with any of our coaching packages, we offer a significant package of support and 'bundled' extras (in addition to your 1:2:1 time with your nominated coach)
- free emergency phone calls outside of our scheduled coaching times – because a crisis or difficult situation never seems to happen immediately before your coaching call – value = £250+ per month
- free email support during the coaching relationship – value = £200+ per month
- complimentary signed copies of 'How to make partner and still have a life' and 'The FT Guide To Business Networking' – value = £50
- complimentary copy of 'Principled Selling: How to win business without selling your soul'
- complimentary access to our membership library for clients
What's my investment?
Your investment for this six-month programme is £400 per month.
You can either spread your investment and pay 6 monthly installments of £600, or benefit from a 10% discount if you pay upfront – i.e. £3240. All payments are also subject to VAT.
How do I find out more?
In a short phone call we will talk about your needs and possibly even help you with some of the issues your're facing. We can talk about the programme in all the detail you need. We will then know if you're right for the programme and the programme is right for you.

Ontario has approximately 1 million households that are on smart meters. According to Toronto Hydro, 60% percent of their customers saw an increase in their monthly bills after switching to smart meters.
However, the company is of the opinion that weather has a much bigger impact compared to time-of-use rates and has provided some suggestions for saving energy in the cold weather on its website.
According to the company," In a typical home, about 54% of energy costs are tied up in heating and cooling and 20% in hot water. So, those are the first places to look when it comes to saving energy.
Consider how you can save on air conditioning, heating and hot water costs. Look specifically what you can do in spring, summer, fall and winter. Many of these energy savers take just a change of habit. Others will require a little bit of work and a few purchases."
Some hot water consumption tips provided by the website include: getting temperature of the water heater checked by a qualified person. Majority of manufacturers recommend a temperature between 49 and 60°C (140°F); wrapping the electric water heater with a water heater blanket to reduce heat loss. The blanket should be CSA certified for use on all CSA approved electric water heaters operating between 49 and 60°C (140°F); installing an energy-saving showerhead as it can reduce hot water usage by up to 30%, resulting in an annual reduction in consumption of 28,000 litres; and using faucet aerators for lowering water flow. Aerators mix air into the flowing water and reduce consumption by 25% to 50% per tap.
Some energy efficiency tips for air conditioners mentioned on the website include: installing the air conditioner in a shaded area because it will use 5% less energy compared to an air conditioner exposed to direct sunlight; and not switching to a colder thermostat than needed.
Toronto Hydro – Electric System Limited leads Ontario in designing and delivering electricity Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) programs. It has around 696,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Toronto.

Remote control with a Jabber Bot
To get past a firewall and into a LAN,you need either a secret backdoor or a cooperative agent on the inside. A Jabber client on the LAN contacts a public Jabber server and wait for instructions trickling in as instant messages from its Internet buddies.
Of course, one way to perform tasks on a local network from the Internet is to poke a hole through your firewall and connect to a local web server. Services like dyndns. org allow quasi-static access to the dynamic IP addresses that Internet providers assign. An agent or "bot" (probably short for "Robot") makes life simpler: a messaging client on the inside of the firewall can attach to the public Jabber messaging network and accept commands in the form of text messages. The client I will describe in this article will only accept commands from clients on its buddy list, and it only supports four actions: load checking for the bot computer, querying the public router address (command: ip), and switching the lights on and off at my apartment in San Francisco (lamp on|off).

Leap Into Leadership 2011
The number of women in the Wyoming legislature took a hit last fall. In the session that starts Tuesday there will be 13 women in the House of Representatives and one woman serving in the Senate.
Next month the Wyoming Women's Legislative Caucus offers, Leap into Leadership, two days of programs designed to encourage women toward greater participation in their worlds. It's a training event that increases and strengthens leadership skills.
Registration has begun for the event that takes place on February 3rd and 4th in Cheyenne.
Melissa Turley, Coordinator for the Women's Legislative Caucus sees the November election of two recent graduates as the best feedback on the programs effectiveness.
"Cynthia Cloud went on to be elected to State Auditor and Ruth Ann Petroff will be serving district 16 in the House of Representative."
Leap into Leadership 2011 begins with dinner on Thursday addressed by three current legislators. Friday is a day of workshops covering various leadership topics.
"And then there will be a session hosted by the Council of National State Legislatures that talks about how female legislators have been successful and talks about how women across the country have been creating change."
Cost for the event is $60 dollars. Contact the Wyoming Women's Legislative Caucus for more information.
Or follow this link to the Caucus website and registration information. www.wyowlc.org/leap-into-leadership

Martin Sixsmiths program last night ? It was heartbreaking to hear stories about the children & babies who were sold by the Catholic church…………..many to paedophiles.
This personal story is one which today has even more resonance . To think that the so called religious who hypocritically denounce abortion,contraception & sex before marriage in fact gained from those very youngsters who disobeyed the churches teachings……….they took the children from these youngsters to increase their finances.
They made them sign away everything & anything connected to their children when most were shipped of to America……to adoptive parents who had never visited the Mother & child home in Ireland, they were sold like commodities.
It makes one wonder if that's why such rules were imposed in the first place .
I'm utterly disgusted at the constant stream of wrong doing committed by those who profess a faith !

Edit Article
How to Act Like Neji Hyuga
This is basically a guide on how to act like Neji Hyuuga, a character in the TV show Naruto.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
Please improve this article to meet
Character Article Standards.
Please edit, then remove this notice. Notice added on 2015-09-26.
1Dress in short sleeved tan shirts and dark blue cargo shorts.
2Decide which version of Neji you want to be.
- Neji in the chunin exam was an egotistical rookie who constantly tried to convince people that they could not change their destiny, until Naruto shows him otherwise.
- Neji after the chunin exam is a noble hero who respects everyone, and always keeps his word.
3Act serious, be on task, and also be extremely confident. Before you be confident, though, be sure you are doing extremely well in everything.
4Bandage your right arm and right leg up.
5Learn martial arts if given the chance.
6Be one of the top student in your class and be sort of a "Teacher's pet".
7Be pessimistic about things such as dreams.
8Be independent and don't let anyone influence you unless it's for the better.
10Challenge people and try to win most of the time.
11Think fate can not be changed, because it is something that is decided in birth.(start rambling on about it until Naruto starts beating some sense into you)
12Don't hold back your opinions about others' destinies.
13Cover up anything that is especially special about you in a bad way, like the "caged bird" on Neji's forehead.
15Enjoy hanging out in the forest and counting the birds you see
16Set aside a lot of time for meditation and quiet time.
17Always be annoyed at Might Gai and Rock Lee when they do something...abnormal that normal people wouldn't do.
18Try drawing protruding vein around your eyes and mutter "Byakugan!" (I CAN SEE THROUGH EVERYTHING!!!!)

- Don't get Neji confused with Sasuke even though they have similar personalities. Sasuke is more dark, mysterious, and (believe it or not) even more anti-social.
- You might have a hard time seeing through contacts with no pupils.
- This only works when acting like Neji from Naruto. Not Naruto Shippuden.
- Don't be too serious, your friends might ignore you and move on from you if you act too Neji-like.

OKC Thunder: Durant, Green here for '09-10
The Thunder has exercised the third-year options on the contracts of Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, keeping them with the franchise through the 2009-10 season. The team had until Oct. 31 to exercise its options on last year's No. 2 and No. 5 overall picks or both players would have entered next summer as unrestricted free agents. The Thunder holds fourth-year team options on both players, which must be extended by Oct. 31, 2009 to keep Durant and Green through the 2010-11 season. If the Thunder exercises the fourth-year options on Durant and Green for 2010-11, both players could become restricted free agents in the summer of 2011. The Thunder, however, can begin negotiations for contract extensions in July 2010. The team will have until Oct. 31, 2010 to reach an agreement with both players on extensions to prevent them from becoming restricted free agents. Durant, last year's Rookie of the Year, averaged 20.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 80 games. Green, who joined Durant as an All-Rookie First Team selection, averaged 10.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

NEW DELHI: Smriti Irani has decided to focus on a legal framework for allowing foreign universities to set up campuses in India and curb unfair practices by education institutions as part of the human resources ministry's legislative agenda, a government official said.
In doing so, the minister hopes to address the questions of increasing access and improving quality of higher education institutions in the country. "The Foreign Education Providers Bill and the Prohibition of Unfair Practices Bill are on the priority list of the minister. We will have to go through the entire process — circulating a Cabinet note, discussions with the legislative department, then Cabinet approval, then vetting by the standing committee, before the Bill can be taken up for discussion and passage by Parliament," an official said on the conditions of anonymity.

Apple Barrel regular and bluesman about town, Coco Robicheaux, passed on the Friday after Thanksgiving, on Frenchmen St., where he was a beloved regular musician and friend. Coco was a colorful musician, a Jazz Fest staple and was featured on HBO's Treme sacrificing a chicken in the WWOZ studios for a voodoo ritual. While this never occurred in real life, Mr. Robicheaux was known for his riffs and larger than life personality. He and his guitar will be sorely missed.
Watch the video clip below of Coco singing for Herman Leonard, produced by WWOZ show host and documentarian George Ingmire.
UPDATE: Two second lines will be taking place to honor Mr. Robicheaux.
Read more about Mr. Robicheaux's life in the nola.com obituary.
Goodbye Coco.. You're missed.. Deeeply..
This video gave me so much comfort. I feel like he is still here.
I love how it captures his facial expressions and voice.
I will miss him deeply forever.
This is so weird. I haven't listened to WWOZ since moving away from NOLA in 1986 but something compelled me to come to this site this evening. I'm retired now and living in the Provence of Chiriqui in Panama.
Back in 1983/84 when I lived on First Street (between Baronne and Dryades) Coco was my upstairs neighbor. I remember when he cast the bronze bust of the Fess. For a long time before it found its current home it was simply the most amazing door stop the world has ever seen. Coco Robicheaux, AKA Curtis Arceneau (spelling) was one of my favorite local friends. Many a night when he was working the door at Tips (before the World's Fair closed the place down for a couple of years) Coco would let me slip in to see the Fess, The Nevilles, James Booker, Marcia Ball and others.
The world will be a sadder, drearier place without Coco in it. RIP Cher Ami.
So sorry to see this. Yet another Nawlins legend has slipped away. Thankfully Coco R's recorded music remains; but he'll be missed, a real NOLA character about town. If I was still living there I'd a been sure to get to one of the rememberances. 'Membering you from afar, my man. But I feel blessed to have enjoyed you live and lived amidst your airtime on 'Oz.
Coco was the first friend my husband and I met in New Orleans on our first trip together to the Big Easy back in 1986. We were at Tipitina's, so naturally we went outside to share a "reefer" with him in the break! ;-) Coco was so proud of his bust of Professor Longhair. We still have a picture of Coco & me with the statue. We'd always run into him every time we visited New Orleans after that and we even ran into him once in Sydney, Australia back in 1997, shortly after we had moved down under! He was really special to us and it's hard to believe he is gone - we will miss him dearly!

the sector for a long time, but the industry pioneers have refused to change. Why cant the likes of TCS, Infosys and Wipro appoint industry-leading experts in key positions? Why is it that they are refusing to appoint leaders from Google, Apple or IBM? Its not that they cant pay these executives top dollar. If one really is hoping to achieve great results, the HR heads will have to hunt down the top technologists of the world. The problem is most of the Indian IT vendors are still not regarded as global brands. TCS is not a household name, though it is Indias largest IT exporter. Hence, getting top people to join them is not going to be easy. The question is, do Indian IT vendors have the will to push for it? Are they too afraid of introducing top talents of the world, who could have a disruptive effect in their companies? Indian IT has always had a conservative soulone that refuses to engage with disruption. North Americs requires those who can push the envelope and Indian players have to realise this.
India has been trying to get rid of this outsourcing destination tag and instead acquire an innovation label.
Its global delivery model (GDM) has been a time-tested policy that has yielded substantial benefits but its now time to say goodbye to the time & material system. America and Europe are trying to spend as little as possible on IT and they are not looking at fixed pricing. Outcome-based pricing has taken over and Indian IT services players have latched on to it. Surviving by the quarter has been the trend for the last 3-4 years. Its all about taking a myopic view of the situation. But only those companies that are willing to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gains are likely to last. The end of the decade will show us who has withstood short-term temptations to win the war of codes.

Biotechnology As An Accepted Norm?
Guess what? We've engineered the first genetically enhanced fish, perfect for our dietary needs. Is this the future of how we treat biotechnology?
I've ranted endlessly so far in the past about technological advances with robots and mechanical movement. At this point I find it typical that nobody has thought of advances in technology that extend to the biological realms of science. We're still restricting the confines of our imagination to science fiction films where robots are still a big thing 500 years from now. Can you blame me?
If you've never seen what a biotechnology site looks like, this company will give you an idea. They're called AquaBounty Technologies, and they refer to themselves as an enforcer in the advancement of aquatic life and seafood. Their tinkering with seafood wasn't my initial idea of advancement in biological life, but I guess that's why I'm not one of the guys in a white coat.
AquaBounty has just been recognized by the FDA for their completion of the first genetically engineered salmon that they deem acceptable for releasing into the wild. What sets this salmon apart from other fish is that its growth rate has been accelerated by up to twice the normal speed. Other than the obvious goals of making the fish extremely healthy, what uses do we have for an extremely healthy fish?
This fish is feared by some because of its growth factor, and it's understandable that any genetic altering might harm any neighboring aquatic life. The use of these fish as edible specimens should be a signaling to the science world that any and all purposes of environmental interaction is safe. I mean come on; they're engineering these fish for ingestion!!!
There's got to be some silver lining between eating them and releasing them into the wild.
The harboring of a fish for genetic research seems like a great start for learning the limits and possibilities of genetic altering. However there are conflicts between AquaBounty and the FDA pertaining to the morals of tinkering with the genetic makeup of another species. Owing to those same morals, it's safe to say that the engineering of other biological species isn't in the cards in the coming years.
Considering how delicate the strings of life are amongst the population of urban society, I can understand why some people aren't attracted to the thought of genetic altering. Natural occurrences are often seen as the suitable origins of any life form for the obligatory crowd. On the other hand, I have been interested in science fiction and virtually all forms of that genre for quite some time. Because of that interest, I prefer to think of any advancement made in the science world as a potential step in the evolutionary chain of development.
With that being said, what could be the potential advantages of a genetically altered human? An increased healing factor? An accelerated growth enzyme? The possibilities can go on for days and days.

Is Activity Monitor (a.k.a. Memory Monitor) the only tool in Xcode Instruments that can measure the total app RAM usage of an iPhone app running in Simulator? Just that line showing momentary wired RAM?
And how accurate is that versus iPhone hardware, especially given OSX paging i/o to VM?
I'm seeing 7-8MB wired RAM figures for just the default Xcode iPhone project templates (other than OpenGL) compiled and running. At the same time Object Allocations shows well under 1MB for all objects.

@Article {export:65636, abstract = {
We study generalization properties of the area under the ROC curve (AUC), a quantity that has been advocated as an evaluation criterion for the bipartite ranking problem. The AUC is a different term than the error rate used for evaluation in classification problems; consequently, existing generalization bounds for the classification error rate cannot be used to draw conclusions about the AUC. In this paper, we define the expected accuracy of a ranking function (analogous to the expected error rate of a classification function), and derive distribution-free probabilistic bounds on the deviation of the empirical AUC of a ranking function (observed on a finite data sequence) from its expected accuracy. We derive both a large deviation bound, which serves to bound the expected accuracy of a ranking function in terms of its empirical AUC on a test sequence, and a uniform convergence bound, which serves to bound the expected accuracy of a learned ranking function in terms of its empirical AUC on a training sequence. Our uniform convergence bound is expressed in terms of a new set of combinatorial parameters that we term the bipartite rank-shatter coefficients; these play the same role in our result as do the standard VC-dimension related shatter coefficients (also known as the growth function) in uniform convergence results for the classification error rate. A comparison of our result with a recent uniform convergence result derived by Freund et al. (2003) for a quantity closely related to the AUC shows that the bound provided by our result can be considerably tighter.}, author = {Shivani Agarwal and Thore Graepel and Ralf Herbrich and Sariel Har-Peled and Dan Roth}, journal = {Journal of Machine Learning Research}, month = {January}, pages = {393-425}, publisher = {MIT Press}, title = {Generalization Error Bounds for the Area Under the ROC curve}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=65636}, volume = {6}, year = {2005}, }

I'm studying UNIX programming and was experimenting with read/write system calls. I have a file with a pair of integer:
4 5
and I wrote this code to read the numbers:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
typedef struct prova {
int first;
int second;
} prova_t;
int main(void) {
int fd;
prova_t origin;
prova_t result;
ssize_t bytes_read;
size_t nbytes;
fd = open("file.bin", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT);
origin.first = 24;
origin.second = 3;
write(fd, &origin, sizeof(prova_t));
fd = open("file.bin", O_RDONLY);
nbytes = sizeof(prova_t);
bytes_read = read(fd, &result, nbytes);
write(STDOUT_FILENO, &(result.first), sizeof(int));
write(STDOUT_FILENO, &(result.second), sizeof(int));
nbytes = sizeof(int);
bytes_read = read(fd, &(result.first), nbytes);
write(STDOUT_FILENO, &(result.first), bytes_read);
bytes_read = read(fd, &(result.second), nbytes);
write(STDOUT_FILENO, &(result.second), bytes_read);
return 0;
In my first attempt I tried to read the whole struct from file and write its members to stdout. In this way, along with the numbers, I get some weird characters
4 5
In my second attempt I read the numbers one by one and there were no problems in the output.
Is there any way to read and write the struct using the first method?
Edit: I updated the code to reflect suggestion from other users but still getting strange characters instead of numbers

Lancashire's Steven Croft hits 100 but rain helps Surrey
19:49 12 July 2012
EMPICS Sport
LV= County Championship Day 2: Lancashire 425-7
Rain denied Lancashire the chance of racking up a huge total against Surrey on day two of their visit to Guildford. But thanks to an unbeaten 104 off 167 balls from Steven Croft, the red rose county made good use of the 47 overs that were possible to be 425-7, having resumed on 245-3.
In the fourth over of the day Murali Kartik justified Surrey's decision to spurn taking the new ball by having Ashwell Prince caught on the deep midwicket boundary for 34.
When it was taken, Tom Smith greeted the new cherry by driving Jon Lewis straight down the ground. Steven Croft then cut Chris Tremlett to the backward point boundary, following it up, two overs later, with a cover driven four; though not before Smith, attempting a quick single to mid-off, had been beaten by Zander de Bruyn's direct hit at the non-striker's end.
Gareth Cross got off the mark with a cut four off Lewis, but perished when pulling Stuart Meaker straight to Zafar Ansari at square leg. Croft was joined in the middle by Glen Chapple and together they added 121 in 29 overs for the seventh wicket.
In the 101st over, Chapple flicked Meaker off his legs for four before pulling him for a maximum three balls later.
Shortly before lunch Croft went to fifty, which came off 94 balls, with his seventh boundary - a glanced to four off Meaker.
Having been 356-6 at the break, Lancashire really put their foot down after lunch.
Croft despatched the first delivery of the afternoon session, bowled by de Bruyn, to the rope at deep midwicket. After crossing, Chapple repeated the dose four balls later.
Surrey, who bowled just one further maiden, seemed incapable of stemming the flow.
In the 125th over, Croft brought up his fifth first-class hundred with an extra cover drive off Meaker. It had taken the 27-year-old three and a half hours and 160 deliveries.
Chapple departed moments later, lbw to Lewis for 46, but before Croft and Ajmal Shahzad could strike up an alliance rain stopped play at 3.00pm. The rest of the day was eventually written off at 4.20pm.
Speaking afterwards, Croft said: "I'm really pleased. Coming off the Twenty20 has helped. It helped a bit last year as well. It just got me going a bit. I felt confident out there. I just tried to play my natural game, which is to be positive. It's a solid benchmark. I don't know if we're going to bat again and put on some quick runs, or whether we'll pull out and look to bowl Surrey out. It did turn a bit out of the rough into the right-handers. They've got three or four lefties, so Simon Kerrigan will be in the game."
Asked if Kerrigan will fancy bowling to Kevin Pietersen, Croft said: "He's dying to bowl at him, but with the weather I think he'd just like to get a bowl."

The narrowed, furrowed glare of Colin Farrell is no longer fixed upon the role of Lancelot.
Though Farrell was earlier this month in talks to take the Lancelot role in Warner Bros.' long-delayed Arthur & Lancelot--replacing Joel Kinnaman, who is now being reassembled as a cyborg police officer--Deadline claims those talks did not work out--possibly, it's implied, because "there is a lot of prep and training required for the action heavy role." Colin Farrell does not gel his hair up every morning to train to swing a sword around, got it, Warner Bros.?
Regardless, the studio still paid $2 million for this script, and still wants to get it made by its proposed March 15, 2013 release date, so new casting is expected to move forward quickly. If you're interested in being the new Richard Gere, please let Warner Bros. know.

This action movie from 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a commando who he and his men are meanced by a alien predator who attacks without warning. One of the best lines came from Jesse Ventura when he said,"I ain't got time to bleed!" The clinmax is the battle between Schwarzenegger and the alien.
If you're up for a popcorn movie, this won't disappoint.
Arnold gets his butt pretty well dragged across the jungle by a bad-ass alien, which is an interesting turn on the usual "Ahnold" role.

- Are Californians willing to pay more taxes to improve public education?
- How do voters feel about the recently passed CA Dream Act, which allows non-legal high school graduates to be eligible for financial aid at the state's public universities?

Ladies FA Cup: Show support today as Villa ready for Doncaster
Villa Ladies are aiming to go far in the FA Cup this season as they get set for their third round clash with the impressive Doncaster Belles outfit.
The game takes place at their new home ground - Sutton Town - and boss Ron Mellor says his team will be "physical and mentally ready" for the exciting encounter.
Doncaster Belles have been a top-flight outfit for many, many years but under the new divisional changes, they will compete with Villa Ladies this season in Women's Super League 2.
They will offer a tough test, according to manager Mellor, but he believes his players can rise to the challenge.
He said: "The FA Cup has a charm and excitement matched by few competitions so we look forward with much anticipation to the game, wanting, of course, to reach the next round.
"We have - and are - working extremely hard both on and off the field to prepare for this game.
"Doncaster Belles has a much changed team with several of their players relatively unknown quantities.
"This makes our analysis of their strengths and weaknesses rather difficult. But we will make sure that we are ready.
"Villa Ladies know the significance of this first home game, for themselves, their fans and our club so we intend to be mentally and physically prepared before we step out onto the pitch at Sutton Coldfield this Sunday.
"Those who are able to come and watch - and I hope there are many - will be impressed by the industry, determination and skill of the team.
"It is also an exhilarating and strange twist of FA Cup fate that our first competitive game of the season - and my first as manager of the team - comes against Doncaster, having played many games at their former ground Belle Vue."
The match kicks off at 2pm this afternoon at Sutton Town, Central Ground, Coles Lane, so please come and support the team.

Georgia Tech Selected as National University Transportation Center
The Georgia Institute of Technology has been named by the U.S. Department of Transportation as the lead for one of ten national Tier One University Transportation Centers. Funded by a $3.5 million federal grant and an additional $3.5 million in matching funds for the first two years, the UTC will bring together a consortium of universities in the Southeast, where transportation infrastructure concerns rank as one of the top issues.
Collaborators in the UTC, known as the National Center for Transportation System Productivity and Management, include the University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Southern University, Southern Polytechnic State University, Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Florida International University and University of Central Florida.
In a related program, Georgia Tech and Auburn University have been named as collaborators in a Regional UTC led by the University of Florida. They will be joined by Florida International University, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, University of Alabama at Birmingham and Mississippi State University to form a regional consortium that will focus on transportation issues impacting the Southeast.
"Georgia Tech is uniquely qualified to lead the [national] University Transportation Center," said Governor Nathan Deal. "It is home to one of the largest and most accomplished transportation and logistics research programs in the U.S. and is responsible for many of the strategic improvements that have been made to Georgia's infrastructure."
According to Georgia Tech President G.P. "Bud" Peterson, the UTC designation provides national recognition of Georgia Tech's capabilities and expertise in contributing to transportation solutions for the nation, state and metropolitan area.
"We are pleased to take a leading role in working with our industry, government and university partners to devise solutions for our state and regional transportation challenges," he said.
State transportation departments, the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation and university partners have provided matching funds for the first two years. Future support will come through government, private and corporate resources.
The Woodruff Foundation supported the initial proposal led by a team from Georgia Tech that included Michael Meyer, director of the Georgia Transportation Institute and Civil Engineering professor; Catherine Ross, professor of City Planning and director of the Center for Quality Growth and Regional Development; and Ken Stewart, senior advisor for industry. An advisory board including industry, government and university representatives from throughout Georgia, Florida and Alabama also provided direction for the grant submission and will continue to provide advice and counsel to the UTC.
"The advisory panel has agreed on broad principles for the program to focus on, including global competitiveness," said Ross. "The group could help in the development of everything from logistics software to economic development."
The purpose of the UTC is to advance technology and expertise through research, education and technology transfer in the many disciplines related to transportation, and to provide a critical knowledge base outside the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose School of Architecture + Planning is also an academic partner of Places, is a collaborator in the Tier One UTC led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Places is grateful for the support of a network of academic partners, all of which provide funding and advice. News items are provided by the partners.

In October of 1946, she married Oscar Michael and lived on the farm in the Fairfield community.
Norma was raised in Fairfield Church, being active in choir and teaching Sunday school, and she particularly enjoyed church activities and get-togethers. Because of an illness, she missed confirmation as a child and was confirmed in 1987.
Norma loved to read. In her younger days she would set time aside to read to her children, sometimes reading the same book over and over. Norma enjoyed raising a large garden until her health kept her from doing so. Norma was an excellent seamstress, making clothes for the children and spending countless hours doing embroidery.
Norma is preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Dorothy Lundberg and Mary Alice Lambert; brothers, Maynard Lundberg and Lyle Lundberg; sisters-in-law, Eva Michael and Lucy Lundberg; and brothers-in-law, Kenny Cummings and Duane Lambert.

On the western edge of the Preserve, along the shoreline of Lake Virginia, an historic banana grove was restored in the spring of 2006. This area had been overrun with exotics such as camphor, flame vine and arrowhead vine for many years. Intense removal of these species, as well as other natives that were damaged in the 2004 hurricanes was necessary before the restoration could begin.
Due to the location of this restoration area, the vegetation was purposefully selected to integrate the nearby mesic oak habitat with the existing shoreline vegetation. Live oak, Southern red cedar, red bay and hickory were chosen to transition from the mesic habitat. Native bald cypress, Southern magnolia and cabbage palm, as well as several banana trees, remain in the floodplain; additional bald cypress, sweet bay and magnolia were planted closer to the lakefront to transition into the more hydric habitat. Chickasaw plum was also incorporated into this restoration; their spring blossoms will add color and fragrance to the canopy.
The restored banana grove can be accessed from the open area south of the Wind Song house. Existing stands of ornamental ginger and turk's cap form a barrier between the restoration area and Genius Drive. Healthy banana trees also remain to the south of this patch as well as interspersed along the shore. A path entering the restoration begins with two majestic young magnolias. The path is lined with saw palmetto, scarlet milkweed, beautyberry, cedar, magnolia, hickory, red bay and oak. The path winds through the restoration and meets up with an existing path in two additional locations.
This restoration was the first to incorporate plants from the nursery; scarlet milkweed, native iris and swamp hibiscus are flowering plants taken from the nursery and planted as ornamental groundcover. Southern red cedar, Southern magnolia, hickory and wild coffee were relocated from other plantings on the Preserve.

What's cooking
May 07 2012
As the hominin body routed more energy to the brain, our biological apparatus got diminished in effectiveness
Every animal in the animal kingdom would have liked to have bigger brains. But most animals don't have brains like we have. It is because most animals don't know how to manage big brains. They don't know how to meet the energy demands of the big brains. As our brain uses energy it generates heat, and in the process it gets overheated. Fortunately, our hominin ancestors resolved the problem of overheat by developing a system of sweating that is managed by the brain.
Cooking is one of the most important innovations for softening food. This is perhaps the reason why we are called coctivores (those who love to eat cooked food). Food scientist Heribert Watzke says, "Our dental anatomy is actually made, not for tearing down raw meat from bones or chewing fibrous leaves for hours. It is made for a diet which is soft, mushy, which is reduced in fibres, which is very easily chewable and digestible". If there was no cooking, our ancestors would literally be chewing the gathered food for the rest of the day to get enough calories to survive. Wrangham believes that great apes have helped us a great deal to understand our own behaviour. Life is easier if we understand biological rules. "Recognition of the deep contradictions in humanity binds us to our past, and also lights our future," believes Wrangham. It is estimated that sometime around 250,000 or 300,000 years ago cooking really got going. There is archeological evidence that shows the presence of earth ovens during that time. Wrangham, however, thinks long before earth ovens came along we must have learned to cook.
Once cooking happened, it showed us completely new ways of utilising our resources. We began to look at the environment with new eyes. We began to see human male-female relationship from a new perspective. Wrangham's idea is that once females were ready to make a meal by collecting food and cooking it, they became vulnerable to big males (he calls them "scroungers") who took away their food. Rather than collecting and cooking the food, the easier option for the males was to take it when it is ready. This necessitated the need of females protecting themselves from 'thieving males'. Perhaps, as Wrangham suggests, this is the origin of human male-female relationships.

The Bowen Technique helps the body remember how to heal itself. The gentle yet powerful Bowen moves send neurological impulses to the brain resulting in immediate responses of muscle relaxation and pain reduction. The moves create energy surges. Electrical impulses sent to the nervous system remind the body to regain normal movement in joints, muscles and tendons. This helps relieve muscle spasms and increase blood and lymph flow.
The Bowen Technique affects the body primarily through the nervous and the bioenergetic systems, to bring it into a state of balance.
