River Friendly Agriculture in the San Gregorio Watershed
California's unique geography and Mediterranean climate have allowed the state to become one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. California produces over 250 different crops and leads the nation in the production of 75 commodities. Most of this production would not be possible without irrigation—agriculture and water are inextricably linked. In an average year, California agriculture irrigates 9.6 million acres, accounting for roughly 80 percent of the water use in the state.
As the state continues to face water supply challenges, such as population growth and a changing climate, pressure has increased for agriculture to use water more efficiently and to make more water available for urban and environmental uses. Numerous technologies and management approaches that conserve water while maintaining yield and production standards are being pursued throughout the state.
The American Rivers' California Regional Office, with funding from the EPA West Coast Estuaries Initiative Grant Program, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and Wildlife Conservation Society is piloting one such approach in the San Gregorio Creek Watershed.
San Gregorio is a coastal watershed that provides water for a rural agricultural community and for sensitive and endangered species. Agriculture remains a primary activity, bolstering the regional economy and underpinning the cultural identity of the San Gregorio community. In fact, several farms are operated by third or even fourth generation farmers. The watershed is also home to coho salmon, tidewater goby, and steelhead trout, the first two federally listed endangered species and the latter listed as threatened. Other endangered, threatened, or species of special concern residing in the watershed include: California red-legged frog, San Francisco garter snake, marbled murrelet, southwestern pond turtle, and Pacific lamprey.
American Rivers and our partners are implementing an innovative approach to address the issue of water supply in the San Gregorio Watershed—the legal transfer of agricultural water rights from low-flow summer diversions to winter storage diversions.
Project Partners:
This means that those who have the right to take water out of the stream during the dry summer months will instead take that water during the wet winter months and store it for later use. By leaving water in the river in the summer months, the San Gregorio Creek watershed is able to maximize the benefits a healthy river provides, including providing flows that help sustain fish and other species. In addition, this approach allows agricultural water diverters more security in the amount of water available to them as they divert during the high-flow winter months.
American Rivers hopes to further benefit California's communities by replicating the San Gregorio Creek watershed approach along the coast and perhaps more broadly.

A-10, UMass Hoops Summer Prospectus Online
Aug. 24, 2009
AMHERST, Mass. -- It will be an exciting season for Massachusetts as Derek Kellogg enters his second season at the helm of his alma mater. The starting point guard will be a big question mark as UMass graduated its alltime career assist leader in Chris Lowe, along with A-10 Defensive Player of the Year Tony Gaffney and center Luke Bonner.
Kellogg welcomes back high-scoring All-Atlantic selection Ricky Harris and versatile guard Anthony Gurley to go along with a horde of newcomers.
Harris ranked fourth in the Conference in scoring (18.2 ppg.) and third in three-point field goals (87) a year ago, scored in double figures in 28 of the team's 30 games and led the Minutemen in scoring 18 times. Gurley (11.2 ppg.) displayed flashes of brilliance in the opening round of the A-10 Championship with a season-high 22 points in Massachusetts' 91-81 loss to Duquesne. Sophomore David Gibbs (3.5 ppg.) will battle junior Gary Correia (2.2 ppg.) for the starting nod at point guard. Both saw increased playing time late last season with Gibbs starting the final three games.
A pair of transfers who redshirted last season will give the UMass frontcourt some much needed size. Sophomore Sean Carter (3.3 ppg.), who played at Oregon State two years ago, brings a defensive prowess in the low post and is active around the rim. Junior Hashim Bailey (0.4 ppg.), who was part of two NCAA Tournament teams at Memphis, will provide power in the paint with his burly 6-10, 275-pound frame. Also returning up front is 6-9 sophomore Tyrell Lynch (3.7 ppg.) and sophomore Matt Hill, who missed most of last season with his second torn Achilles injury.
UMass will have seven new players in uniform
for the 2009-10 season, including a five-player
freshmen class considered one of the most
talented in the nation. Headlining the group is 6-7
swingman Terrell Vinson (23.0 ppg.) of Baltimore,
Md. Vinson was rated the 46th-best senior by
ESPN.com and 90th by Rivals.com. Joining Vinson
is dynamic scoring guard Freddie Riley (22.8 ppg.),
swingman Javorn Farrell (12.0 ppg.) and forwards
Sampson Carter (17.0 ppg.) amd Raphiael Putney
(16.0 ppg.).

A little art magic hits roundabout (From This Is Wiltshire)
A little art magic hits roundabout
5:30am Monday 31st March 2014 in By Dominic Gilbert
THE Magic Roundabout was transformed into a work of art yesterday as a local artist took control of the billboard that towers above the famous landmark.
Kembrey Park allowed Katie Bright, a 34-year-old artist originally from Covingham, to use the board for the weekend to display her latest work, called Tragic Kingdom.
Sunday morning travellers had a surprise as Katie projected an image of herself in character as Katie Brightside at the crack of dawn.
Katie was thrilled to have the opportunity. She said: "It is quite interesting seeing something other than advertising up on the billboard."
Katie left Swindon when she was 19 to study in London, before spending 10 years working in Australia.
She said: "I came back to London to do my Masters, which was always an ambition of mine. I had to move back to Swindon after my dad passed away, so for the last year I have been living back here with my mum and travelling to London for uni a couple of days a week.
"I was surprised to see that they had moved the old art college from Euclid Street, and I feel like the area has lost that sense of community in the town centre as a result.
"Often when you find artists move out of an area you lose that lustre. You need artists to be working on projects around the area to make it that little more interesting."
Katie wanted to do something a little bit different, and played on the link between Swindon and Disneyland that was established in 2009.
"That billboard has been there since I was born and it really grabs your attention," she said.
"While living away from England I realised that Swindon is famous for the Magic Roundabout. Those billboards are about showcasing aspirations and dreams, and the character I have created is modelled on fairytale characters like Snow White and real people like Marilyn Monroe.
"The whole piece is around fairytales, and is based around the fact that Swindon was twinned with Disneyland a few years ago. That became a bit of a joke, in the same way a lot of people use Swindon as the butt of their comedy.
"When I started with the piece of work I wanted it to be about childhood narratives alongside adult sexual society.
"I think people will probably be very confused by the whole thing and why I am doing it, but there is a whole body of reasons why."

really? I don't remember the Euclid Street college having a lot of actual art on display to the locals. Anyway, just because a college has moved, doesn't mean artists have left the area.
Anyway Katie, thanks for popping back to add a little colour to our lacklustre lives in Swindon, really good of you.

Its an absolute eyesore and an embarrassment for the town. Even my children thought it was extremely weird. Sure art is subjective but we live in Swindon, not Manhattan - I have just about had my fill of over flamboyant, arrogant "artists" decorating the place with distasteful, inexplicable, nonsensical "art" - and I use the term extremely loosely. Perhaps time for a career change Ms Brightside? Litter picking would be a more constructive use of you time AND it would make Swindon look better, unlike the billboard.

Semi-evergreen and a strong grower, 'Janice Brown' reaches a height of 55 centimetres and often re-blooms. All soils, full sun, Zone 4.
Frustrated lupine growers will like this new, easy-to-grow false indigo.

Apple shows internal documents to prove Samsung "slavishly copied" its slide to unlock feature
One of the five patents Apple claims Samsung infringed upon in its smartphones is the "slide to unlock" feature, which might seem to be a minor UI "inspiration" but SamsungR
One of the five patents Apple claims Samsung infringed upon in its smartphones is the "slide to unlock" feature, which might seem to be a minor UI "inspiration" but Samsung's internal documents prove it copied them over time after failing to come up with better alternatives.
During the proceedings of the patent infringement lawsuit between the two companies, Apple revealed multiple internal Samsung documents that showed how market research and competitive sales revealed that Samsung's screen unlock UI was not good enough and it had to come up with something similar to Apple's iPhone, Apple Insider reports.
Very much like the 132-page internal report where Samsung compared almost every UI element with Apple and suggested how it could be copied, that Apple had submitted as proof of Samsung's wrongdoing, this time Apple has submitted multiple internal presentations that compare Samsung's lockscreen UI to Apple's and suggests why Apple's is better as the company found out in market research.
The presentations also showcase how over a period of time in 2010 Samsung's unlock UI became quite similar to Apple's slide to unlock feature that was first introduced in 2007 with the first-generation iPhone. It is not a case where Samsung did not have its own ideas, but it found that of Apple's were better and appealed more to users.
Here's one of the first internal presentations Samsung did in 2009 to compare its products with the iPhone.

Jean-Luc Godard fans have cause to rejoice as the Criterion Collection has just issued releases of "Made in U.S.A." and "2 or 3 Things I Know About Her," both previously out of print and difficult to track down in the US.
"The greatest film by the greatest post-1950s filmmaker, Jean-Luc Godard's '2 or 3 Things I Know About Her' presents the critic, humbled by the beauty of its surfaces, the density of its ideas, and the uncanny coherence of its fragmented structure, with a writing dilemma," writes critic Amy Taubin in a piece on the film for Criterion. "Better to describe '2 or 3 Things' as a machine that morphs the colliding meanings of words and objects with dazzling speed, and generates an astonishing array of metaphors, paradoxes, digressions, and, above all, dialectical relationships, between idea and action, word and image, sound and picture, interior and exterior, microcosm and macrocosm. The swirling surface of a cup of coffee is transformed into the primordial ooze and also the infinite universe; two women in a café look at a magazine from different angles, but the collaged and cartooned female faces and bodies on its pages are degrading from any perspective."
"'Made in U.S.A.' fits perfectly into Godard's evolutionary passage from metafilm messiah to Marxist didact, from the buoyant gamesmanship of 'Alphaville,' 'Pierrot le Fou' and 'Masculin Féminin' to the narrative-fuckup radicalism of '2 or 3 Things I Know About Her' (also a new Criterion DVD), 'La Chinoise' and 'Week-End,'" notes Michael Atkinson for IFC. "Riffing impishly on noir clichés, composing life as if it were a comic strip, fracturing his ersatz story into slivery mirror shards, lollygagging through dramatic confrontations, cutting in splats of audio and advertising and visual punctuation, tossing off movie-movie allusions, indulging in irrational jokes, lacerating Americanization and the crassness of modern culture -- it's all there, all stewed together into a feverish, mysterious brew that's less a traditional masterpiece than an open-source exploration of the cinema-life interface."
The New York Press' Armond White contends: "Both these widescreen spectacles can help remind moviegoers how important it is to appreciate movies as a visual art form that represents the world and the imagination with creativity and integrity. That's what is missing from the 'Harry Potter' junk where imagery is corrupted into tired, over-familiar, non-visceral special-effects. 'Made in U.S.A.' and '2 or 3 Things' have more in common with the visual wit of Michael Bay's 'Transformers 2.' It is Godard's bold example that taught Bay to love sound and image. All these films share a visual language and a way of seeing the world that is rooted in an artistic use of technology. What a triple bill."
"Made during the later stages of Godard's French New Wave period, '2 or 3 Things I Know About Her' remains one of his most despairing and contemplative works. More than any of the fifteen features he made between '59 and '67, it points the way toward the non-narrative cinematic essays and political tracts he would make with Jean Pierre-Gorin for much of the intervening decade," writes Michael Tully in Hammer to Nail. "Shot at the same time as the also just Criterion-released 'Made in U.S.A.'—he would shoot one in the morning/early afternoon, the other in the late afternoon/evening—it brings us a Godard who is beginning to meditate on the failure of tumultuous times and the corruption of elites to introduce radical social and political change in a way that is still all too relevant."
The verdict at DVD Verdict? "Whether I liked 'Made in U.S.A.' or not—and, at this point, I honestly couldn't say—it's American DVD release is a big deal. For many years, the movie was almost impossible to see; it screened once in the U.S. in the 1960s and never again for another 40 years. It's DVD release has been delayed due to a rights issue with 'The Jugger,' the novel on which the movie is 'based.' Now, here it is, a seemingly-slight but important and transitional entry into the filmography of one of cinema's most essential directors. At least, I think."
DVD Talk has reviews of the reissues, as well. Jamie S. Rich notes that "'Made in U.S.A.' was part of the filmic shift into the final phase of Jean-Luc Godard's 1960s oeuvre. A pulpy dismantling of American crime fiction, it substitutes battles over cash and reputations with battles over political ideals... This Criterion disc is a nice package with great extras, and though Donald Westlake may not have liked what Godard had done with his novel, we can enjoy 'Made in U.S.A.' like never before." And on "2 or 3 Things" Rich observes that "Coming with the usual excellent Criterion extras and a knock-out transfer, it's another win for Godard fans."

Why you should try custom calendar magnets for advertising?
Do you cherish a particular business gift handed over to you during the last business meeting, which you attended? If the answer is no, then it means that a gift is not worthy of your attention and if the answer is yes, then it means that gift is worthy of its cause and you find it useful too. Similarly if you plan to hand over any such gift to your customers and business partners during the next meeting, then why don't you think of giving away something unique like a custom calendar magnet.
Customized or personalized custom magnetic calendars are considered unique gift items due to their various commonsensical characteristics. Generally such attractive calendars are handed over by the companies during trade shows, or along with purchases. These attractive "magnetic" calendars are branded with company logo, business name, and other contact details. Today, magnetic printing has outgrown its limitations and it offers various printing options or choices like logo embossing, and silk screen printing, and etc.
Companies or individuals can use this calendar to improve their brand value in total or to highlight their special products. Many companies gift these magic calendars to their customers in the beginning of New Year or during special occasions such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. Companies gift special message calendars during Christmas season with all special events. This gesture not only helps in gaining more customers, but also brings brand recognition for the company, which has supplied it. The customers will always appreciate such gestures by choosing to buy from the brand, whenever the need arises.
If a business concern wishes to promote some social or some special event in a nearby school then it can do so by sponsoring certain numbers of custom calendar magnets. This gesture will not only point towards the company's social commitment, but also help in improving its brand image.
Today, many business houses utilize the power of custom calendar magnets for promoting their business in a special way. As most of the companies chart their business and special events schedule a year in advance. So, they can always let others know about their plans in the beginning of the year itself. For doing so, they can always release magnetic calendars announcing special dates in the beginning of New Year or in the beginning of a new financial year. If they wish to make it big, then this form of advertising will also double up as an invitation.
Another recognized use for the custom magnetic calendars is in the form of school calendar. These magnets are used for two types of calendars – casual calendar with the important dates and vacations, and special study calendar. Sometimes elementary school calendars are also gifted by schools to parents for encouraging them to pay attention to their kid's studies.
Another great thing about these date magnets or calendar magnets is that you can incorporate them in any type of marketing campaign. They can reform any campaign from bland one to interesting and aid in brand building.

Staņislavs of Balvi (Balvu Staņislavs)
The monument created by K.Jansons, often referred to by public as Staņislavs of Balvi (Balvu Staņislavs) is situated by the crossing of Partizānu and Brīvības Streets.
Its history is peculiar; it was first unveiled on 14 August 1938. During the Soviet occupation it was removed in 1940 and 1944; however, on 11 November 1993 it was unveiled anew and this time the statue of the partisan was created by A.Jansons, son of the author of the first monument, in collaboration with I.Folkmanis.
Staņislavs of Balvi (Balvu Staņislavs) The fact that we keep the lands of our ancestors in memory is proven with the established Society of Abrene Citizens (Abreniešu apvienība) in Balvi District, and its chairman is the admirable person Leontijs Vizulis, who is the current chairman of Balvi Section of the Popular Front of Latvia (Latvijas Tautas Fronte).
The trust of our people in the ideas of the Awakening and its initiators is confirmed also with the fact that the members of the Popular Front of Latvia Juris Annuškāns and Aldis Pušpurs are in power in Balvi Town Municipality and Susāji Parish. Us being here and remembering the day of founding our section is of utmost importance. While our memories live, we live too; while we live, the Popular Front of Latvia lives too.

Palau President Wants Uighurs 'Temporary' Resettlement To End
By Aurea Gerundio-Dizon
KOROR, Palau (Island Times, FEb. 8, 2013) – President Tommy Remengesau Jr on Wednesday made his position clear with regard to the Uighurs in Palau – their relocation here is certainly temporary.
Recent reports showed that the lead diplomat handling the resettlement of Uighurs, Ambassador Daniel Fried, has been reassigned. However, there is no replacement for Fried. Matters concerning the transfer of Uighurs to a permanent home country have reportedly been transferred to the State Department's legal office.
"We are concerned that Ambassador Fried is no longer there. We did receive communication update that from now on, every questions or communication will be referred to the legal department. But who in the legal department, we don't know yet," the president said when asked about what is the government's plan now with the Uighurs here.
Remengesau further said discussions have begun between the government and the United States Embassy here on how best to handle the Uighurs' situation.
The president said he looks at the Uighurs' situation as a transitional matter and that it is not meant to be permanent.
"Therefore every effort should be taken to make sure that this temporary stay is indeed temporary and that it ends soon, in the very near future," he said.
Without a timetable, the president said it is hard to interpret what temporary means. To date, he said, he has not received any concrete definition of where that temporary is heading down the road.
Remengesau said he will work with the United States to accomplish the temporary relocation goal. He disclosed that there are no more funds available for the Uighurs' temporary resettlement here.
Earlier reports showed the US provided Palau with financial assistance in the amount of $98,333 per Uighur for resettlement, medical and translator costs. Six Uighurs, released from Guantanamo Bay prison, were transferred to Palau in November 2009.
Remengesau said all the money for Uighurs is gone. They have reportedly been able to be supported by some grants and so the new administration is trying to find out exactly where and what those grants were, how much they are worth and what was done with those grants.
With the country's own challenges, Remengesau said Palau is not in the situation to have a local appropriation to support resettlement of the Uighurs.
"This is a situation where I hope there is better communication and better discussion, not only with the United States but also with the Uighurs themselves and then really pinpoint some concrete efforts on how we can resolve this issue," the president said.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Thank you for your question.
The issues which you bring up fall under the law of Defamation.
Defamation is a written or verbal statement of fact (as opposed to opinion) made about you which is false, for which there is no privilege to make, and which causes your reputation harm. Accusing someone of using drugs and assault falls under defamation per se.
Technically, you could sue your soon to be father in law for defamation if you can prove that he has said or written false statements about your drug use and accusing you of assault to other people.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Pleasealso kindly consider rating my answer positively so that I am compensated formy work by the website. Rating does not cause an additional charge and will notprevent us from further discussing your questions.

Thank you for your response and I understand that you are denying that you hit her (your explanation of what happened makes it clear that you did not hit her).
Testimony of the defamatory statements over the phone by the third party's hearing the statements does count as direct evidence of defamation.
In regard to the written texts, they may qualify as defamation, although the second one more so than the first. The first only implies that you hit her. The second one directly states it.

The Bills had three games blacked out on local TV in both 2010 and 2011, due to a lack of sellouts. Fans are fed up after seven straight losing seasons. The Bills get a boost from taxpayer subsidizes of roughly $7 million a year that go towards stadium operating and capital improvement costs.

Cory Booker , soon to be Democrat Senator from New Jersey is actually an interesting politician, does seem to bring different perspectives , doesnt always toe the liberal line...friend of Chris Christie, defender of Mitt Romney's business enterprises...
However, it was funny how he addressed supposed rumors that he is gay, so so politically correctly.
"And people who think I'm gay, some part of me thinks it's wonderful. Because I want to challenge people on their homophobia. I love seeing on Twitter when someone says I'm gay, and I say, 'So what does it matter if I am? So be it. I hope you are not voting for me because you are making the presumption that I'm straight.' "--Cory Booker
Well, it matters a lot to guilty white liberals, who would die to vote for an openly gay black candidate to show themselves how wonderfully tolerant they are.........so if Booker wants to sew up the Democratic Party nomination in 2020 or so, there is just one thing left to do.
The coup de grace will be when Cory Booker gets an operation and becomes a transgendered gay woman!
Gay, black and a woman...a "threefer" !!!!
Pandering guilty white liberals wouldn't be able to resist voting for "three minorities in one" Cory, er, "Chelsea" Booker !!

Percival; its the kind of name that you would expect an English butler to be called. It resonates a certain level of class and sophistication. A timeless provider of quality and a constant reminder of heritage, and it's a name that also suits a menswear brand of equal pedigree.
The upcoming Autumn/Winter '13 preview pictures have just hit our inbox here at and AHOODIE and it's got us wishing we could just miss out summer altogether (though for us British writers that will practically happen). We can forgo the ladies in bikinis and sangria for a rather tidy outerwear and tailored release from Percival which has got me wanting to fix up and look sharp. I'll put the dirty, stinking bass to one side to allow for some quiet appreciation of these chic shirts, dapper jackets and jumpers with joie de vivre.
I was able to experience Percival's superior quality first hand when I visited the flagship store on opening night and I can confirm that the brand's reputation is built on fact, not fiction. Keep your eyes peeled for this drop and check out their online store for more goodness.

Continental Flight 1404 passenger Mike Wilson (@2drinksbehind) used Twitter to communicate first-hand news of last night's plane crash. I took screen shots of his tweets to show what Twitter can do for immediate access to information. I broke them down into the summary (shown below), the most recent and all of Mike's related tweets.
Today marks my 650th day using Twitter. Rob and I first signed up for Twitter at SXSW in March 2007. At the time, we both didn't "get it" which remains the same for most new Twitter users. However, today I continually find great links to information I'd probably miss, insightful input on questions I need answered and of course good old entertainment.
After four years of Treo's, I've switched to the Blackberry. Just a few weeks after I blasted the Blackberry Storm, I did join the "Crackberry" ranks, but with the Curve.
The most common word in the startup vernacular to describe the stage of financing is its round. I told Andy Swan Tuesday, I view startup careers more like rounds in a boxing match with each one being a new business.
On the surface, MoneyPath is Lending Tree for commercial loans. MoneyPath matches a business wanting a new loan (or refi) with banks that want those specific types of loans. The easy description still is Lending Tree due to banks competing for loans, but we view it more like eHarmony because we took loan competition one step further.
In seems, the only thing you can read about these days is how bad the economy is and the effects it will have on startups.

Finding Nemo 3D: A Visit To Pixar Studios To Talk About The Animated Adventure's Return To Theaters
By Kelly West 2012-09-13 08:51:25 comments
When I sat with Unkrich one-on-one later on, I asked him if there was any temptation to change aspects of the movie beyond the visual effects. I didn't have anything specific in mind when I brought it up- I can't imagine what changes could be made to improve the story - but I was curious about his perspective, looking back at something he worked on years ago
I can't think of anything in Nemo that I would change, story wise, at this point. But even if there was something, we wouldn't do it. We're very strong believers in - the films that we make are films that we made in a particular point in our lives. We did the best we could to make them, and we sent them out into the world. And we don't want to keep revisiting them. George Lucas obviously likes to continue to tinker with his movies, but other people don't.
We also got on the subject of Dory. The primary focus of Finding Nemo's story is on Marlin getting to Nemo, but Dory is a big part of the humor in the film. Unkrich said it was clear from the beginning when they first started working with Ellen Degeneres that Dory was a really funny character and there was a lot of heart in her. But one of the greatest things about Dory as a character is that she's this sort of light-and-funny figure in an otherwise emotionally heavy movie, and then we get to the end, and she brings this great emotional moment in the film. "In my mind, that's when someone is firing on all cylinders in a movie," Unkrich said. "If you can take a character that the audience has been laughing at and then have you feel for them. When does that happen? That's great. That's like gold."

HMV was what you did because you always have. The function HMV ended up performing was either reminding you what to listen to on Spotify or buy from Amazon later at a cheaper price. It is sad to see a musical institution close but the closure of HMV is just another consequence of a change in musical trends.
Steve raises his voice, a bit of the old punk rage perhaps asserting itself again after all these years. "You had to work to go and see a band back in '77, had to get off your arse and go to a gig, and then go to a record store to purchase the product. There was a lot more work involved. Now it's just mindless consumption."
I guess Father Christmas must feel this way when he puts on the red coat and climbs into his sleigh. I am talking about the warm glow that returns seasonally once a year when BBCMusic Entertainment get out the glitter cannons and the reindeer hats and send for the neon signs that say 'TOP OF THE POPS'.

5 Tips for Networking at a Business Conference
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 06/14/2012 @ 12:15 pm In Career | 4 Comments
A couple times a year, I head to a blogging conference. It's considered a business trip for me because I blog for a good chunk of my living. And, of course, while I am in a fun new town, attending workshops and speeches that (hopefully) help me improve, I also make connections.
Meeting up in person, and making connections, is an important part of any business. Indeed, if you want your career to go anywhere, you need to build connections, and have a career network to draw on. Before you get on that plane, make sure you are ready to network at your business conference:
The best thing you can do [3] is know who you are, an then be yourself. Understand your personality, and what you have to offer. Then, be yourself. If you are shy, you don't want to force yourself into being a crazy party-animal extrovert. While it's important to come out of your shell a little bit, there is no reason to be someone else altogether. Be comfortable with who you are, and then let others see the great person that you are.
Think about what you do, and be ready to explain it to others. A really good exercise is to create an "elevator pitch" for yourself. This is a 15-second personal statement. It should cover who you are, and briefly state what you do. Do your best to use dynamic language, and have back-up information prepared in the event that someone asks you to elaborate.
Be ready to pass out business cards. And remember, business cards don't have to be printed on paper. There are electronic business cards now. You can create a digital card that can be easily exchanged between mobile devices. These business cards can be a great way to help someone remember you. And, don't forget to collect business cards. When you get back to your hotel room, write down something on the back of the business card to help you remember that person, or jot down something you talked about. A few days later, after the conference is over, you can touch base with those you plan to keep in your network.
Be sure that you come across as confident and ready to network. Shake hands firmly, and make eye contact. Speak clearly, and introduce yourself. Part of networking is making a good first impression, and you can't do that if you are mumbling at your toes. It can take practice to get the hang of this, but you want to put in the effort it takes. It's well worth it.
Don't be so anxious to share everything about you that you forget to listen. You need to take a turn actively listening to those you meet. Not only does is show an interest in them, but you might actually learn something. One of the most valuable skills is listening.
Do you have networking tips for conferences?

John Turturro Reveals His 'Passione' for Naples at SF Film Society's New Theater
It is a typically frantic morning in New York's theater district, where this evening John Turturro will pay tribute of sorts to two collaborators past: Woody Allen, for whom he played a writer in Hannah and Her Sisters, and Ethan Coen, who cast the Brooklyn native in movies including Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing, The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou. Yet Turturro will never take the stage.
SF Street Style: European Family Style at Off The Grid
There were so many great casual looks at Off The Grid Ft. Mason, that it was hard to shoot just one person. In fact, I ended up finding a very stylish Madrid-turned-SF trio: Silvia, a Language Specialist at eBay, looking cute in her blue and yellow; little Leah, 18-months-old, with fantastic hair; Markus, head of SEO at Yahoo!, talk about a swoony dad.
Dapper and Debonaire: Frank Sinatra and Elton John Photos Hit SF Art Exchange
The latest show to hit SF Art Exchange, "Chairman of the Board. Knight of the Realm," chronicles the careers of Frank Sinatra and Sir Elton John by famed British photographer Terry O'Neill. Lining opposite walls of the gallery space, this rare solo exhibition pits 20+ photographs of an effortlessly polished Sinatra against 20+ of a quirkily dynamic John. Masterfully arranged in a mix of both black-and-white and color, the show tells not only of the men being shot but also sheds light on the man behind the camera. We caught up with the talented Terry O'Neill at last week's preview event at the Clift to talk photography, music and celebrity.
When did you become interested in photography?

Gonna be tough in Iowa City north, but I'll go if it's happening.
Thank you to Kagavi & amestoplease for the sweet designs!

My oldest child just graduated from high school. I'm not quite sure how that happened — wasn't he just learning how to tie his shoes and ride a bike? As the parents sing in "Fiddler on the Roof": "When did he grow to be so tall?" Now he's out of high school and looking ahead to college and beyond. My work here is done.
Ever hear of the generation gap? No, it's not an upscale clothing store or a tricky mountain pass. It's the distance between you and your kids when it comes to basically everything that really matters in life. Parents and their children simply don't agree on — let's face it — anything. Just remember, you're right and your kids don't know what they're talking about. Keep that thought fixed in your mind, and you'll be fine.
I love keys. I love their jingle, I love the way they tangle up in my purse, and I love the responsibility they impart. Nothing says responsibility like a full key chain.
I remember the feeling of being entrusted with my very first keys as a young teen. I could come home from school and let myself into the house without having to go through the garage and hunt out the spare key from the mess of screws, push pins and twist ties in the utility drawer. Now I could unlock the front door like a homeowner. What a great feeling of power.
I bought a new vacuum cleaner recently. It's a good vacuum cleaner. It picks up all the dirt and dust bunnies a person could desire. But I think it's possessed. It's taken over my computer.
Some would say that vacuum cleaners have no business appearing on computer screens. They are for house cleaning and that's all. They're not even good conversation pieces. "That's a lovely vacuum cleaner," is not a phrase often heard in polite company.
December is the most wonderful month of the year. If you're not sure you believe this, here are the top 10 reasons to love December:
I'm a supervoter. It's the only "super" I get in this life. Sometimes when I do something awesome for my kids, like making them chocolate chip banana bread when I don't like banana bread, I get a "good Mommy" from them. But they never call me "Supermom." I've never saved the day like a superhero. I do save and reuse plastic grocery bags, but somehow I don't think that counts. I don't supersize meals at McDonalds, I don't drive on a superhighway in our small town of Juneau, and I've never been super-cool. The only superpower I have is constancy. I'm a supervoter.
What's for breakfast? A simple question, that points to some basic differences in the human psyche. If you seek to better understand the underlying motivations of your fellow breakfasters, you need a quantitative method of analysis. The Breakfast Personality Inventory is your tool to sort through the intricacies of breakfast psychology.
The first question on the test: to eat or not to eat? This question serves to delineate the three main breakfast personality types.
Author's note: This essay first appeared on Sept. 13, 2009, when my children were younger. That year was noted for the shift in school start times, with the high school students embracing a 9:15 a.m. start, and the elementary school kids reeling in shock at their new 8 a.m. start time.
For the first time in my adult life, I got to smell it — that new car smell. A brand new car with all of six miles on it, just for me and my family.
Buying a new car can be a formative experience for an inexperienced couple like us. Car buying carries its own rules. You don't just look at the price tag, decide whether or not you can afford it, and then slap down the credit card. No, you have to negotiate. You have to haggle. I'm no good at the haggle.
School's out, long summer days are finally here, construction crews line the roadways, and airline promotions abound. It's time to hit the road — summer vacation is here!
As you're preparing for your summer adventures abroad, be sure to heed these important rules of packing:

Dewey's Sunset Park gets faceliftCenter for Inland Bays waiting on $418,000 grant for marine habitat
Dewey Beach — Repairs and upgrades at Sunset Park in Dewey Beach are nearly complete.
Fronting the bay at the end of Dagsworthy Avenue, the park is one of few waterfront places that have no structures on it.
"What a nice little park," said Marc Appelbaum, Dewey Beach town manager. "This is a simple solution for a beautiful little park. We want to encourage more people to visit it."
Appelbaum said the town rebuilt the bridge that connects the street to the park, the gazebo in the park was moved back from the waterline and spruced up, vegetation was cleared and the benches that line the beach were repositioned.
Still to come are finishing touches and installing solar-powered, motion-censored lights.
Appelbaum said the lights will help police monitor the park at night and limit mischief.
In addition to the work already completed, the Center for the Inland Bays is waiting to hear on a $418,000 grant request habitat improvements.
Bartholomew Wilson, center science coordinator, said CIB should hear from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation on the grant request sometime in May.
Wilson said if approved, the grant would provide funding to establish about half an acre of tidal wetlands, a new horseshoe crab habitat, concrete oyster castles and wave attenuation devises, designed to mitigate wave action that occurs during storms while still allowing marine life to navigate easily.
The devices are shaped like a flat-topped pyramid, but water and marine life can move through holes designed into the structure, said Wilson.
"The waves are what really hurts that park and these are much more habitat friendly than the big stone walls people are used to seeing," he said.
Wilson said heavy lifting wouldn't begin before the fall because of the extensive permitting process associated with the improvements, but data collection on the area would begin almost immediately.
"This is a two-year project, but we want to try and get it done in the first year," said Wilson.

We got to RNO at around 5:30 and checked in. Purchased a couple of magazines at the newsstand and headed to gate B8. Boarding proceeded at about 6:20.
I had seat 34A (window seat) and my sister had 34B (aisle). I told my dad to ask the travel agent for seats behind the wing because I like seeing the flaps move up and down, especially on landing. We were served a small plastic bowl of cereal (Kellog's Complete), milk, a banana, and a blueberry muffin. As we were approaching DFW, I was amazed to look out the window and see planes coming from all directions. I had connected at DFW once before but it was a rainy and cloudy day so visibility was low. I think we landed on RWY 13R-31L, we taxied over the overpass that went over the main road that is in the middle of the airport and came into gate E12 (I think, cant remember that well).
Depart DFW at 1:00pm
Arrive JAX at 4:23pm

We had a layover a little bit over an hour. Made our way to gate E15, stopped at the newsstand and picked up a magazine and a pencil (I didnt have anything to write down the reg#'s with). Then went and sat down. Soon our flight was boarding. I got seat 40A (window) and my sister got 40B. A Lufthansa A340 passed overhead as we were holding for takeoff. No meal was served, we got a bag of snack mix, but it was good. We got into JAX on time. My grandma, great aunt and my great aunt's roommate who we consider an aunt were there to pick me and my sister up. We went to the baggage claim, got our bags and headed out the door. Dang, It was hot, I was hit with a burst of humidity (there are big differences between Nevada and Florida). I proceeded to have a great monthlong vacation with trips to Blizzard Beach waterpark in Orlando (located within Disney World), Jacksonville Beach, a Jacksonville Suns AA minor league baseball game (LA Dodgers affiliate), and I went deep sea fishing out of Mayport, caught two red snappers, I also caught two genuine snappers and a black sea bass but they were to small so had to throw em back. My cousin got the jackpot on the deep sea party boat we were on, he won $56 for catching the largest fish, which was a 29.5 lb. amberjack.
Saturday July 14, 2001
Depart JAX at 7:00am
Arrive DFW at 8:26am
It was a dark, cloudy and rainy morning. Checked in at the DL curbside checkin at around 5:30. The man that checked our bags did us an extra favor. My uncle had given me a set of golf clubs and my sister had an extra check-in because she couldnt fit everything in only two. Normally its $80 per extra bag but he went ahead and checked them for free, my grandma gave him a tip. We proceeded to the courtyard and picked up a cinnamon roll and chocolate milk at Cinnabon. Went to gate A3 and waited to board. Then we boarded, it was a SkyDeli flight, I had seat 36D (aisle) my sister had the window. The plane had some sort of problem, so we were held at the gate for a half hour, our layover in DFW allowed us more than enough time so I wasnt worried. It was pouring when we took off. In the SkyDeli was a yogurt, banana, danish, and orange juice. Arrived in DFW and pulled into gate E8. When I came out of the jetway, I was checking the windows to look for the reg# but the danged jetway was blocking it, so I couldn't get the number.
Depart DFW at 10:10am

We made our way to gate E31, quite a long walk from 8. Stopped at several newsstands and was tempted to go into Auntie Annie's pretzels but didnt. We called our grandma at the phones at gate 34 cuz she worries and wants to know we made it. Then we boarded, I had seat 34B (aisle) sister had 34A (window). It was a SkyDeli flight again, but it was good. It was a chicken salad, slice of monterey jack cheese, two strawberries, breadsticks and a water. I tried to sleep because I had a headache, but to no avail. I started to read the Florida Times-Union which I had bought in JAX. We landed in RNO on time and taxied to gate B8 where my mom and dad were waiting for us. We went to the baggage claim and got our bags but were there for longer than we expected. My golf clubs did not appear on the carousel, after a while a Delta employee came walking by with a golf bag with the snap-on cover off of it. I guess either the luggage shifted inflight and my golf clubs came out, or one of the baggage handlers turned the bag upside down. Oh well, no damage done to the clubs. Then we went to Red Lobster and then Home Depot and my mom took me to several music stores cuz I was looking for a CD. Then we went home and that concludes my trip. This is my first trip report so hope you liked it.

Yes, I went on Summit Plummet (tallest and fastest water slide in the U.S., and probably the world) twice, it was fun, but it kinda hurts your lower back, but its worth it. I also rode the Toboggan Racers ride like 6 times and that Teamboat Springs ride 3 times. Its the best water park I have ever been to.

Just a tip for you- catch all the Jacksonville Suns games you can while you still can. The city's getting a new baseball park in 2003, and looking to trade in the Suns for a new AAA team. The Suns have already begun to talk about relocating, as if it came down to seeing minor minor leaguers, or guys one phone call from the big leagues, the feeling is that sentimentality won't win out, and the team Hank Aaron used to play for will move on or fold.

yeah, I heard about the new ballpark, part of the Better Jacksonville Plan. I have been to Wolfson Park four times, it is a nice little old ball park and it will be missed. The 767 was regular, it was the scheduled craft from the moment we booked the tickets in April. Summer of 2000 we flew same route and were on a 757 but I guess they upgraded to 767, or maybe thats what they use during the summer now.

Dear Carolyn
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
DEAR CAROLYN: I got married pretty young, and have spent the past decade putting great effort into keeping my marriage fresh and growing. Our kids have reached an age of some independence, which helps, so I'm able to focus more on my husband.
However, my husband has told me he has been developing feelings for an attractive, single co-worker. He has not acted on his feelings and doesn't plan to, but (he says) he felt like he was being dishonest by not talking to me about this.

I appreciate his honesty and don't want to punish him for it. But what exactly am I supposed to do? We already have fairly regular date nights and a good sex life. Some trusted friends have suggested that all he's looking for is a new challenge, so what I should do is withdraw a little bit to give him back the feeling of pursuing me. I'm afraid that might be equal to standing by while my marriage dies. What do you suggest?
– Maryland
DEAR MARYLAND : I think reading "The Rules" in the '90s caused your trusted friends to suffer permanent brain damage.
These friends are partly on to something, but in a disastrous package. The advantages you have are intimacy, transparency and trust — which are exactly what you torch by "withdrawing," i.e., playing games.
There are two common conditions that abet marital infidelity: Growing distant from or sick to death of each other. If you've found an attentive but non-smothering place to be in your marriage, then stay put.
The useful kernel your friends offered is the focus on a "new challenge." Everyone needs those — but they don't have to be emotional or sexual.
Research into bullying (stay with me here) has shown that the most effective way to combat it among kids is to get all kids — bullies, victims, bystanders — working together toward a group goal, where it's strongly in the bullies' self-interest to work supportively with others.
Extrapolate a bit, and it makes sense that a group goal is the way to keep a marriage close, too. Child-rearing is often just that, but the intensity diminishes over time. That's when it helps to develop something else you and your husband can pursue together. The "what" is wide open — a cause, charity, sports team, hobby, renovation, bucket list — because what matters is that both of you are fully aboard. That will tighten your bond while also scratching the itch for something new.
His telling the truth is HUGE. Huge. It says you're true partners, that he trusts you, and that he takes your trust in him seriously. Good luck.
RE: MARYLAND: I'm a single woman and am horrified to learn that there is still a good extent of game-playing in marriage. She needs to "withdraw a bit so he can get the old feeling of pursuing her"??!! My goal is to meet a solid partner and leave this nonsense in the past when I get married. Am I being naive?
– Anonymous
DEAR ANONYMOUS: The 40-plus-percent divorce rate tells us, if nothing else, that imperfect single people make imperfect married people. There's no junk-cleansing Rubicon you cross when you get married.
If you imagined anything different, then, yes, you're being naive.

In this sun-drenched village in the Aurunci Mountains, the residents enjoy astonishing longevity, such that scientists from the World Health Organization have dubbed it the "village of eternity." Not only are the people of Campodimele living longerthe male life expectancy is 26 percent higher than the U.S. averagebut they also have substantially lower blood pressure than their countrymen, and the cholesterol levels of newborn babies.So, what's their secret?

The short answer: Skip to the paragraph marked with an *.
The long answer:
We posed your question to Dr. Ollie Jay, founder of the Thermal Ergonomics Laboratory at the University of Ottawa, who gave us a quick lesson on sweat and why your gender may have something to do with your shivers.
"When you go for a run, your metabolic rate goes up quickly because you need to deliver oxygen to your tissues to fuel muscle contractions," Jay says. "The transfer of energy in the cellular process needed to create these muscle contractions is very inefficient, so a lot of this energy is liberated as heat—80 to 95 percent of it."
That heat needs to dissipate to the environment in order to keep your core temperature from rising too high, and your body sheds the heat by increasing blood flow to the skin and sweating. "But we don't start dissipating enough heat to balance the elevated metabolic heat production until about 30 or 45 minutes of exercise," Jay says. So your body temperature will rise for about half an hour until it plateaus when you're losing enough heat through your skin to keep your body from baking.
*When you finish exercising, your metabolic heat production immediately drops. But you'll keep sweating for a while and continue to lose heat to the environment through the evaporation of that sweat. "How this affects your core temperature depends on your body's shape and surface area to mass ratio," Jay says. Women often have a high surface area to mass ratio, so they tend to lose more heat more quickly after a workout than men do, making them cold. (Taller, thinner men, Jay points out, also tend to experience the post-workout freezies more often than bigger guys.)
THE SOLUTION: Obvious, but it bears repeating: Change out of damp or wet workout clothes and get dry as quickly as possible.

You Did Not See Mila Kunis' Butt In Friends With Benefits
By Sean O'Connell & Josh Tyler 2011-07-22 12:44:34 comments
Not to sound too much like Jerry Seinfeld, but what is the deal with Black Swan actresses and their use of body doubles?
First we had Natalie Portmans did-she-or-didnt-she dance controversy. And now Swan co-star is claiming she used a body double -- or, more appropriately, a butt double -- for her raunchy sex comedy Friends With Benefits, which opens everywhere today.
While promoting the film on Ryan Seacrests radio program, Kunis admits that she does show side boob (Josh notes: Having seen the movie... I can say it's a little more than side boob) in director Will Glucks comedy (which is wall-to-wall sex scenes between the brunette beauty and Justin Timberlake), yet she held off on baring her derrier because she can't just give away everything all at once. ... I gotta let it all out in little pieces here and there."
Also, in what is one of those strange things that only happen in Hollywood moments, Kunis tells the American Idol hosts that she sat in with Gluck and the films make-up artist as they auditioned female asses to play Kuniss stand-in. "These lovely women had to show us their derrieres, and the chosen one resembled my body the most without looking like it's fake," she tells Seacrest.
It doesnt look fake in the scene in question, which shows Kunis walking down the hall with her rear in view. And since, at that point, youve already seen the Black Swan starlet mostly topless, you kind of assume that the butt belongs to her. The really weird thing here, and the real reason we're bothering to report this, is that faking it sort of goes against the mission statement of the movie, which proudly declares its intention of flying in the face of clichéd romantic comedies that have come before it the film fights throughout its running time to be one of those edgy, raw, we're going to approach sex and nudity in a real way on screen movies. Only it isn't, and in the end it embraces most of the same clichés before the end credits roll. Apparently that includes finding a butt double for your gorgeous, up-and-coming leading lady.

We defend a realistic attitude towards biological species. We argue that two species are not different species because they differ in intrinsic features, be they phenotypic or genomic, but because they are separated with regard to gene flow. There are no intrinsic species essences. However, there are relational ones. We argue that bearing a gene flow relation to conspecifics may serve as the essence of a species. Our view of the species as a Gene-Flow Community differs from Mayr's definition of the species as a reproductive community. In a reproductive community, each organism is able to successfully reproduce with each other. However, there are species in which geographically distant organisms lost their ability to successfully reproduce, due to strong genetic adaptations to the respective local environmental conditions. Despite this loss of the ability to mutually reproduce, they are still bound by gene flow via continuous intermediate populations. This replacement of Mayr's notion of an interbreeding potential as a criterion for species membership has important implications for the treatment of populations in allopatry and sympatry.

Lupe Fiasco was recently asked to address Justin Bieber's unearthed video clips, which feature the Pop singer using the n-word in racist remarks.
"Donald Sterling, did he say the n-word?" Fiasco says in an interview with MTV. "Justin Bieber said it, but it's cool? People are already coming to his defense."
Yesterday (June 5), Mack Maine said Young Money artists wouldn't reject Bieber as a result of the racist tapes.
"I just did an interview for, I think Fox Sports or something," Fiasco says, "and they brought up Donald Sterling in that capacity in sports. I just was like, 'I don't think anybody should be profiting off racism.' Donald Sterling made a billion dollars. You know, sold the team, and made a billion dollars. There was such an uproar about somebody that didn't use the n-word at all. And then, you just have somebody who just made a very racist joke about it."
This makes Fiasco ponder Bieber's future.
"I wonder if Justin Bieber is going to get the same treatment as Donald Sterling," he says. "I don't think he will. It's an absurd twist of fate. Absurd thing. I guess that's how the universe puts things out...It'll test you with this. See how people react. Then you get somebody who we quote-unquote 'like' who says it and says it even more racist-ier. And we don't bat an eyelash. It becomes this absurd thing. That's why I don't even deal with it...Whatever. I don't really care either way. It's just interesting to point out."
