Humans and animals need Ca to build strong bones. Plants also require plenty of Ca to develop strong cell walls and membranes. Animals fed a diet with low Ca develop weak bones and osteoporosis. Similarly, insufficient Ca in plants leads to a breakdown of cell walls and membranes, and to a variety of disease and post-harvest problems. In addition to plant nutrition benefits, sufficient Ca has a role in maintaining soil physical properties, alleviating subsoil acidity, and the reclamation of sodic soils.
There are soil conditions where Ca applications are very helpful. Sandy soils and crops irrigated with low Ca water may be particularly vulnerable to low Ca availability. Soils with low pH generally have low Ca availability. Unusually high exchangeable Mg may pose a problem for Ca uptake by roots.
Most agricultural soils contain considerable amounts of Ca. A good estimate is that each cmol of exchangeable Ca is equivalent to 400 lbs/A (in a depth of 6 2/3 in.). Many soils contain several tons of exchangeable Ca on cation exchange sites. Therefore, it may take large applications of Ca to make significant changes in soil chemistry.
Probably the best known symptom of Ca defi ciency is blossom-end rot of tomato fruit, but this problem is closely related to plant water stress and the difficulty in delivering Ca to the fruit. This illustrates one of the problems with Ca defi ciencies—is it a lack of Ca that is the problem or is it a problem with delivery of Ca within the plant?
In soil that seems to have adequate Ca, why do defi ciency symptoms sometime occur? The problems often appear when Ca does not adequately move to the plant organs where it is needed. Calcium moves primarily with the transpirational water moving up from the roots. Once in the plant, Ca is not readily mobile from one plant part to another. Plant organs that have low transpiration (e.g. fruits such as melons, apples, and tomatoes with a waxy skin, or the inner/sheltered parts of leafy plants such as lettuce) can develop low-Ca disorders. When these disorders develop, sometimes it is related to the soil Ca supply, but it is frequently related to water stress, cool temperature, and limited transpiration.
When low Ca is causing plant problems, start with getting the soil tested. Make sure there is adequate Ca present and low pH is not a problem. Large amendments with Ca inputs such as lime or gypsum may be recommended to address these conditions. When targeted inputs are needed during the growing season, several highly soluble Ca sources are available. They may be best applied to the active root zone to promote rapid uptake. Foliar sprays containing Ca can also be beneficial to address potential deficiencies, but only a limited amount of Ca can be assimilated this way.
Calcium is required by plants in relatively large amounts. Many forage crops, such as alfalfa, remove over 100 lbs Ca/A/yr in harvested hay. When plant deficiencies occur, it is necessary to examine the cause of the problem in order to know the best response. There are many excellent sources of Ca available, but their appropriate use depends on your individual situation.

How can I theme the browse button?
I would like to have it equal to the upload button I've themed in CSS.
CSS changes done in the ".filefield-element input.form-file" class just has reflex in the text box.
As that text box (not editable) has the same behavior like the browser button, the deletion of the button would be a nice solution as well.
But I'm just able to remove the whole class (text box and button). Both or nothing.
Is there any way?
Comment #1quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
It's generally not possible to theme File elements in HTML. See http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html for a bit of a tutorial, though expect to get your hands dirty with JavaScript in order to accomplish the styling.

Sorry to reopen this issue regarding localization...
In one of my project the client uses the Chinese Windows OS the drupal UI for file browse button renders in Chinese, But it should render in English because the drupal language settings has English.
Any suggestions for making the "browse" button to render in English ?
Thanks in advance,

Any suggestions for making the "browse" button to render in English ?
We don't have any control over the file elements, including the word "Browse" (in fact not all browsers even use the same word). The language of the button inherits from the language setting of the browser itself. At least if the user is using the entire browser in another language, it's likely they'll be able to read the language of the "Browse" button in that language also.
Comment #5svnindia CreditAttribution: svnindia commented
I thought of having a fake browse button using Javascript/jquery with localization and making the original filed as hidden. But in IE i am facing security issue error....

Batman: Arkham City
Riddle me this?
There are some riddles that I can't find the solution to.
One is in the museum, I believe it's in the iceberg lounge specifically and is probably Penguin's umbrella. The clue is, "How do you protect yourself when it's raining bullets?"
Another is somewhere in Amusement Mile, the clue is, "Look out! Can you see where the madness began?" Also in Amusement Mile there is a Tyger terminal that gives you camera locations which continues to elude me.
The final one is a question mark in the Industrial District. The curly part is on the wall of the restricted part of Arkham City and above a body of water, but I can't seem to find the point part.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Toastwell - 5 years ago
Accepted Answer
The first one, I got by scanning guards randomly. I know I got it merely a few steps into the room, I looked right and scanned. I think one of the guards has the umbrella.
The Amusement Mile riddle refers to the Arkham Asylum Island. Look far out to sea to the northeast (I think it was) and take a picture of the island.
I think the trophy is in an alcove along the side of the sea. You need to glide above the water, along the edge of the area, and you can grapple up to a tiny area with the trophy.

This Week in Enterprise Tech 36
From The Official TWiT Wiki
Episode 36
Topic: Spinning your Hadoop, Splunking your Google Fiber, and Trolling your Patents!
Recorded: April 8, 2013
Published: April 8, 2013
This Week in Enterprise Tech 36:
Technology Byte
Google Fiber
- Reviewed Episode 34 discussion about Google Fiber needs to expand to a major city to be significant.
- Google Fiber to roll-out in Austin, Texas makes Google Fiber real and not disruptive tech.
- Looking at Kansas, gigabit home Internet can change tech significantly.
- People skeptical of availability and time to sale of Austin fiber.
- Enterprise managers are given more options for hookups.
- Google can provide better SLA for more stable, dependable networks.
- Faster dependable networks may bring other providers in to compete.
- Google is strong arming local TelCos and may start to make money at it instead.
Stuff my IT Guy Says
Network Peering
- BGP enabled Peering
- Three times of Peering agreements: 1) Fast access to a local server in exchange ??? 2) ??? 3) Even share of incoming and outgoing traffic.
- Allows for neighboring networks to share traffic over a similar link so that one party doesn't have to charge the other for service. This benefits by similar outgoing and incoming traffic levels.
- Peering transit agreement prices are often kept secret to keep bottom line prices (like big box store wholesale prices).
- Peering agreements are often based on commit rates (paying up front for an estimated use).
Network Tiering
- Tier 1 is a major/large peering backbone provider
- Tier 2 connect to backbone and custom ISP providers and peer.
- Tier 3 is a one way ISP connection that pays for access to a Tier 2 provider.
- Google may not want to be involved in being a Tier 1 backbone provider and instead be involved in shaping Tier one governing policies.
Patent Troll Smack-down
- Estimated $29B spent in defending patents in court. Up from $7B in 2005.
- Often IP holding patent holding companies (MPEs AKA patent trolls) that do not produce a product.
- MPEs are harvesting and collection wholesale groups of patents
- Rumors of stealing Creative Commons licensed material for patent.
- MPEs are infamous for litigation against smaller companies that do not possess the resources to defend their products regimental patent.
- Patent often should collaborate with experts in the field to better vet patent applications (much like academia).
- Peer review may slow down patent awards but patents already move slowly and will better verify the patent is unique and detailed.
- Rackspace fights back against MPEs holding conflicting patents to their own Hadoop. The patents themselves are vague, redundant, and already in existence in abundance (memory management and error correction prior art from 1961).
- Big data may suffer if MPE wins case.
- Analogous to stealing from children, the patents are not for unique or new ideas.
- Allows big data to be searched, analyzed, and graphed.
- Splunk is a popular solution.
- Bring multiple data sets together to draw conclusions about an event at a specific time. (Corelation)
- No matter the scale or segregated your data sets are, the correct questions must be drawn.

Locate a local Woburn Zoning Attorney
Land Use, Zoning and Planning Law in Massachusetts
The laws that regulate how land can be used, and what structures can be built on individual pieces of land in Woburn, Massachusetts can sometimes be a bit perplexing. This article will not make its reader an expert, but should serve as a good introduction to the subject.
Localities typically divide their jurisdictions into segments, referred to as "zones," on which particular types of use are permitted. For instance, one area of a town might be zoned for residential use, a nearby one for commercial use, and areas on the outskirts zoned for industrial use. This practice is called "zoning."
The purpose of zoning is to preserve property values, and make towns and cities more livable. For instance, without zoning laws, a company might be able to purchase a vacant lot next to your house and build a noisy, smelly, dirty factory on it.
On the other hand, zoning laws recognize and attempt to accommodate the necessity of factories and other industrial activities. They just seek to ensure that such activities are conducted in a way that they don't conflict with the rights of adjacent landowners to use and enjoy their property in peace.
What if My Property Violates Woburn, Massachusetts's Zoning Laws?
You have quite a few options if you find that a planned or prevailing use of your property breaks Woburn, Massachusetts's zoning regulations.
It should be evident that the first option you should consider is to correct the violation. If doing this wouldn't cost you very much, or pose a major inconvenience, you should obviously do this.
What if, however, you've invested a significant amount of time and money into making an improvement on your property, only to find that it breaks your local zoning laws in some minor way? In this case, you can apply for a variance. This is essentially an exception to the zoning rules. If declining to enforce these rules would not harm anyone, and would not do much to advance the purpose of Woburn, Massachusetts's zoning laws, a variance will usually be granted.
Furthermore, zoning ordinances cannot be applied against you retroactively. For instance, suppose you built a 3-story house on your property, and your property was zoned to allow 3-story houses to be built at the time of construction. And then, years later, the area you reside in is re-zoned, to only allow 2-story houses. Can the local government force you to remove a whole level of your house? Of course not. Applying a law retroactively is unconstitutional. On the other hand, any future changes you want to make to your property will have to comply with the applicable zoning ordinance as it is currently written.
Find a Woburn Lawyer that Specializes in Your Area of Need:
How Can a Woburn, Massachusetts Attorney Help?
If you suddenly become involved in a zoning dispute with your local government, it's essential to seek competent legal representation. The counsel of an experienced Woburn, Massachusetts real estate attorney can make it much easier for you to act within the law to use your own property as you wish, or at least be as free as possible to make improvements to your land.

Learn about the nation's rich history in Washington DC, head into the heart of cowboy country in Texas, and soak up some southern hospitality in New Orleans over a big bowl of gumbo. Indulge your love of music (and fried foods) in Memphis, then get out into the great outdoors - from the towering redwoods and soaring granite formations of Yosemite to the red-hued rocks and desolate salt flats of Death Valley. Head underground to explore the labyrinthine chambers of Carlsbad Cavern and try your luck on the casino floor in Vegas. What makes this one of the best countries in the world? Come and see for yourself.
Get 25% off our trips to the USA! See our terms and conditions for applicable departures. Hurry, offer runs out 31 August 2017.Terms & Conditions
North to south and coast to coast, this action-packed adventure plays out like a greatest-hits mixtape of classic Americana – all killer, no filler.
See it all, from the high-rises of New York, through to the musical mayhem of Nashville and westwards to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Enjoy a full day to explore Washington DC. There's lots to see and do in the US capital, and most of it is free. Visit the White House, Capitol Hill and the National Mall, and feel small next to the statue of Abraham Lincoln
The cities of Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans are notorious for their rich music and nightlife scenes. See live performances of blues, jazz, country and rock in celebrated musical venues
Towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, redwood forests and epic night skies - Yosemite National Park feels like utopia. While other tour groups breeze through in a day, you'll spend two nights in the park, allowing for a full day of hiking and exploring
For many, Death Valley conjures up images of a flat and barren wasteland. Be surprised by the park's ethereal landscapes of sand dunes, water-sculpted canyons, extinct volcanic craters and, in the spring, fields of wildflowers
The iconic sandstone formations of Monument Valley have played backdrop to many a cowboy western. Learn about Navajo culture and history during a jeep tour of the park, before spending a unique night in a traditional hogan hut
This is a participatory trip. That's a fancy way of saying you're not just along for the ride – you're part of a team! You know the phrase 'the more you put in, the more you get out'. Well that's extra true on this trip. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves and help out with camp activities like food prep and washing up. It's all about giving your new travel mates a hand – everyone knows there's nothing worse than trying to put up a tent on your own!
That teamwork also extends to our optional food kitty of approximately US$10 per day, run to cover the cost of meals. This kitty saves you worrying about stuff like where to get food or what exactly sales tax is, and actually helps keep your costs down. Instead of paying individually as you go, it means we can bulk purchase items and cook our own food – though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional pizza night! The kitty is optional and for your convenience, so if you've got specific dietary requirements you can opt out and purchase (and cook) your own food.
The United States is a world of endless possibilities – that's why our Basix trips are designed so they fit together as (not quite endless) combinations. That means while you might just be starting your trip, some of your new travel mates may have been travelling together for a week or more (and so have some great tips for you). You can see how our trips fit together and all the different possible combinations at www.intrepidtravel.com/brochures. Simply click view/download on the North America brochure and look at the combo map on page 12.
Traffic in and out of the cities can be hectic, especially during the holiday period. There may be delays, so be prepared to take part in car games to keep you entertained.
You'll be travelling in a van with a group of travellers, so conditions may feel a little cramped. This is all part of the adventure, however, and you might even make some long-term friends.
The USA is a big country. Distances between destinations may be longer than what you're used to, especially if you're coming from Europe. There are many long days of driving, so expect to spend a lot of time in the van.
Although our vans do have air conditioning, it has to work pretty hard to keep a full group cool. Expect to feel hot during summer and cold at other times of the year, especially at night. Please consider the season and research the weather conditions to determine the best time to travel for you. Remember to come prepared with adequate clothing.
From the steep hiking trails of the various national parks to the towering hills of San Francisco, this trip involves a lot of walking. Please ensure you bring sturdy walking shoes and comfortable clothes. To make the most of the trip, it's best if you have at least a moderate level of fitness.
This trip only allows for one night in Nashville and one night in Memphis. Although you'll get more or less a full day to explore these great cities, you might have to move quickly to see everything on your to-do list.
Death Valley in the summer is extremely hot and dry. It does hold the record as the hottest place on earth after all. Hiking at this time of year isn't recommended. Although our vans do have air conditioning, it has to work pretty hard to keep a full group cool so expect to be hot. Sometimes in mid-summer we may be unable to visit the Valley itself if we feel that the heat presents a safety risk. At other times of the year, it might be quite cold, especially at night. Please consider the season and research the weather conditions to determine the best time to travel for you. Remember to come prepared with adequate clothing.

Off-duty deputy hospitalized after fight with shoplifting suspect
Published 8:38 pm, Saturday, April 12, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — An off-duty Bexar County Sheriff's Office patrol deputy was hospitalized Saturday after a fight with a suspected shoplifter in East Bexar County.
The deputy was working security at a Wal-Mart, 4906 N. Foster Road, when a member of the store's loss prevention staff confronted a man suspected of shoplifting. A fight between the two ensued, and the deputy also engaged the man.
Trevor Stennett, who was outside the store during the fight, said the two men were grappling near the entrance and fell to the ground.
The deputy was able to pull his Taser and order the man to the ground. When he refused to comply, the deputy fired. The suspect was able to pull the Taser barbs from his skin, and flee the scene in a pickup.
News Channel
The deputy was taken to Northeast Baptist Hospital to be treated for a swollen face and jaw due to numerous punches in the face.
The suspect, when caught, will face a charge of aggravated robbery. Additional charges could also be filed.

BOLTON'S historic place in the county of Lancashire could soon be resurrected — on the town's road signs.
Council bosses will soon be able to put the traditional county names on boundary road signs, including those bordering Chorley and Darwen, under new government plans.
The current rules prevent unitary councils like Bolton from having a road sign saying "Lancashire", for fear it will confuse residents.
The plan is part of reforms announced by Eric Pickles, the MP in charge of local government, who has already announced changes to planning rules to allow councils to put up boundary signs marking traditional English counties.
The secretary of state said the new rules free local authorities from "Whitehall red tape" and help mark out England's traditional county boundaries, which date back hundreds of years.
He said: "The tapestry of England's counties binds our nation together, and is interwoven with our cultural fabric — from our cricket to our ales.
"Previous governments have tried to wipe the counties off the map, imposing bland administrative structures or alien euro-regions.
"But I believe we are stronger as a nation when we cherish and champion our local and traditional ties.

- You could buy Gary Neville's 'Teletubbies' land for £650,000
- New shop opening - and they're giving away free chicken
- Hurricane Gert is on her way - and could bring very different weather to North and South
"This government is proud to wave the flag of St George alongside both our county flags.
"Whatever one's class, colour or creed, we should have pride in our English identities within the United Kingdom's Union that binds us together."
Bolton was made part of Greater Manchester under the Local Government Act in 1974, where previously it had been considered a part of Lancashire — a county thought to have been founded in the 12th century.
Astley Bridge councillor John Walsh has been a firm campaigner for Bolton's place in Lancashire, and every year presents the county's symbol — a red rose — to the Mayor in a special Town Hall ceremony.
Welcoming the announcement, Cllr Walsh said: "As a member of Friends of Real Lancashire, I think we should be proud of our tradition.
"As last week the council supported the flying of the Union flag, I think we should also be proud of our more local connections and Lancashire is certainly part of our heritage.
"Greater Manchester was set up as an administrative county, and we must never forget that fact.
"I would commend this entirely and think we should promote it in any way we can — let's remind people of our historic traditions in every way possible."
A council spokesman said they would wait for more details of the plans before deciding whether to change the road signs.

Miley Cyrus' 9-year-old sister Noah -- who turned heads in a dominatrix Halloween costume and recently covered Akon's racy tune "Smack That" -- is at it again.
In a new YouTube video, she covers Ke$ha's hit "TiK ToK."
As a bearded person in glasses and a hoodie dances behind her, she prances around in front of the camera.
At one point, she tosses what appears to be a can of Red Bull as she sings the line: "Ain't got a care in the world but got plenty of beer."
Oh yeah, she also lip-syncs lyrics about smacking men who touch her junk.

Worst circus ever! Do not waste your money on this!!!!!!
Fantastic outing and a real highlight for our visiting interstate family: 8 of us aged four to 54. The acts were varied - clever, visually lovely, funny and, at times, amazing. (Couldn't believe the contortionist!) All in all, a really nice atmosphere with lovely, friendly acrobats and performers. Highly recommended!
We saw the show last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. We laughed so hard at the clowns and the amazing acts of the talented troop! The man who fits his entire body into a bottle was incredible! We loved every second of the show.
First of all, if you want to purchase this, do not buy the VIP tickets. Buy the cheapest one. There is no point at all, there is only like 6 rows of seat and sitting at VIP is a huge waste of money. Sitting at the front is not comfortable at all, since we have to lift our head up to watch (just like being at the front in cinema). You can see clearly at the very back, trust me. Second of all, the seats are cheap plastic portable chair on top of grass. So, dont expect it to look like a stage at all. Lastly, the performance is boring. The clown act is cliche and the people who are supposed to accrobatic stuffs look like bunch of amateurs. The things they are doing are amazing if you saw one of your friends doing that. We clapped our hands just because we have to, not because we are amazed by the show. The man who can fit on a box, is the only amazing stuff about the performance. I watched a circus at caufield couple of years ago. I paid $35 for mid row seats (same price with pointcook latino VIP) and I was amazed by the show. They're highly entertaining, very skilfull and so much fun to watch. It's even held in big proper stage with proper seats. I dont know whether the caufield price is too cheap or this latino show is too expensive. For me, to call this thing circus is an overstatement. In conclusion, don't expect anything from this show. If you want to watch, grab the last row. They're half the price + you dont have to lift your head to watch.

"I see that God is raising up powerful women who are entrepreneurs, powerful women who are now in politics--because it's being recognized that women do have a brain too and they do have leadership skills--and powerful women in the church of Jesus Christ.
"God is bringing back, in the last days, the Genesis mandate [men and women working together]. Adam and Eve lived to be a blessing; Abraham and Sarah lived to be a blessing; Isaac and Rebecca. You cannot do it without the women. You cannot reproduce without the women."What do you think is the biggest barrier that still exists to women in church leadership?
"The biggest barrier is ignorance. That's the biggest barrier. It's just ignorance, plain ignorance. Because it's so simple, I've never had it as an issue in my life.
"There's nothing to discuss. You can't argue fruit. It's like me going to an apple tree and trying to force it to believe that it's a mango. It will never believe that. So if women don't believe that they are blessed, then … [but] nobody can unbless whom God blesses.
"To me its just ignorance. And then God came down, and He had to repeat it over and over again in the book of Acts Chapter 2, 'My women and men will prophesy.' Men and women. He keeps repeating men and women, men and women, men and women. 'Men and women filled with the Holy Spirit, these signs shall follow them. They shall prophesy, they shall see visions, they shall dream dreams, both men and women.'
"So I really don't know if it's a language barrier. It's so simple. It's obvious. It's really obvious there, so it's repeated. It started in Genesis, repeated throughout the Bible, reaffirmed again in the book of Acts that when the last days outpouring comes, it will be both men and women, old and young, that are going to be empowered to be a fruit of the Holy Spirit working in their lives."What was your biggest personal barrier?
"[Men] would say things like, 'Well, you know she's not even from Bible school,' 'Who's this woman?' … 'She's not trained.'

New Zealand is an impressive country with much to offer visitors. With staggering scenery, fascinating history and culture combined with plenty of opportunity for adventure, it is a destination that will not disappoint. When choosing a country to visit, it can be difficult to choose what regions to see, and therefore what regions you will also not see. Visiting these spectacular National Parks provides a great way to see this country's splendor. From the New Zealand Tourism website (www.newzealand.com) we have selected an article about making the absolute most of an active New Zealand vacation.
With multiple award-winning hotels, over 500 miles of Adriatic coastline, world-class gastronomy, quirky and unique museums and so much more, who wouldn't want to visit Croatia? This historic country in Eastern Europe is now commanding the attention it deserves, and travelers have taken notice. In just the second quarter of this year, revenues from tourism reflected an increase of 5.3 percent compared to the same period last year. Tourism numbers from 2015 were surpassed in September 2016. It's a hot destination.
U.S. river cruising continues to grow in popularity, especially with Americans who, more than ever, prefer to travel within the U.S.A. Thanks to the cultural richness associated with America's great rivers (especially the Mississippi), there has also been growth among international travelers who have an interest in this country's history.
It would be impossible for a traveler to see and experience everything that Dubai and Abu Dhabi have to offer in one trip. A very small sample of the must-see sights in Dubai include the man-made Palm and World Islands, which provide a breathtaking view when seen from the air. Encourage clients to visit the Dubai Museum for a sense of history and culture.
This year is a very exciting one for Poland. Within a few weeks of this publication, and on the heels of the Jewish Culture Festival held in June in Krakow, the same city will celebrate World Youth Day, beginning on July 25, 2016. Every three years, the Catholic Church organizes this pilgrimage for young people of the Catholic faith. The event is expected to bring 2 million people from around the world to Krakow, including Pope John Paul II who will begin his visit at Wawel Royal Castle. His schedule includes stops at religious and historic sites within the region, and there will be events and gatherings of young participants at parks and arenas throughout the city. The celebration will culminate with closing ceremonies on July 31.
Examples of JAX FAX Micro-site
Destination Britain Americas' annual event was held outside of the U.S. for the first time this year, and the host hotel was the five star, Paradisus La Perla in Playa Del Carmen. Just a 45-minute drive from Cancun airport and a 5-minute taxi ride to lively Playa Del Carmen, Paradisus La Perla was the perfect choice to host this event.
With 1,244 islands and 97 Blue Flag beaches along its Adriatic coast, Croatia has long been a favorite of sun-seeking Northern Europeans. But its fabled beaches are still little known to Americans, and its historic and natural sights rarely make the tourist must-see list.
Travel agents all have at least one client seeking a unique vacation, one that offers a sense of discovery and greater world knowledge.
For that next one-of-a-kind adventurer consider Ethiopia, located in the horn of Africa.
One of the lesser traveled regions, Ethiopia has a fascinating history that actually begins with human civilization.
Ethiopia, entrenched with indigenous tradition and ceremony, is enjoying an uptick in tourism. Tourists will find that the people are friendly and curious about them.

ATHENS, GREECE -- Evolutionary biology teaches us that evolution happens not by constant, steady change, but in sudden leaps and mutations. Likewise the evolution toward being able to work from anywhere. A recent tectonic shift -- in this case, high gas prices -- is making the world safer for extreme telecommuting.
A Reuters report today highlights organizations that are cutting back the number of days employees are required to physically show up at work because of soaring gas prices. Even employees who are required to be on-site in order to work, such as janitors, are being cut down to four-day workweeks to save gas. White collar workers, of course, are being allowed, encouraged or forced to stay home once a week or more often and telecommute.
One thing leads to another. High gas prices prompt employers (including the federal government) to allow employees to work from home once a week. Once that's accepted culturally, an elephant appears in the boardroom: If it's OK once a week, why isn't it OK five times a week? (This is what happened with "casual Friday" -- its once-a-week acceptance lead to the current trend of casual wear every day.) Once telecommuting is accepted, "extreme telecommuting" -- working from the Bahamas or Paris or an internet-connected shack on the Australian Outback -- becomes acceptable, too. After all, once you're out of the office and connecting to the company over the Internet, it doesn't really matter where you are, does it?
The last remaining barrier to the general acceptance of "extreme telecommuting" is purely cultural -- it's our irrational clinging to obsolete rules for how we work. As the cultural barriers fall, more of us will be freed to work from wherever we please, something which mobile technology and Internet communication already enables.
To me, that's the silver lining in high gas prices.

Unconventional meeting venue: Nordkraft in Aalborg – from coal-driven power plant to cultural power venue.
Not so long ago Nordkraft supplied the citizens of Aalborg in north Jutland with electricity. Now, the old coal-fired power station generates a completely different kind of power; Cultural Power. And within these raw, yet inspiring walls, Nordkraft now holds great and inspiring conference facilities too.
Danish architects CUBO Architects A/S succeeded in integrating as many of the old bricks as possible into Nordkraft's new structure and creating a fusion of contemporary architecture and authentic industrial styles that create a very special atmosphere and reflects the identity of Aalborg. So here's a truly unconventional meeting and conference venue available at the top of the European continent, which brings together culture, sports, and recreation, ombines sports facilities, a cinema, music halls, theatres and restaurants under one roof and can host business events with up to 600 participants.
Says Hanne Kristiansen, Convention Manager at VisitAalborg Convention:
"Nordkraft is another excellent add on in recent years to the City of Aalborg's strong meeting and conference portfolio. New and updated hotel and meeting venues spring up everywhere these days, not least along our popular waterfront which is so much part of Aalborg's identity. With Nordkraft, the Utzon Centre, Aalborg Kongres & Kultur Center and many more, we can cater for business events of all sizes. On top, we have one of the most accessible cities in Denmark with our own international airport and excellent road and rail systems, so there is really no reason for not staging an event at the top of the European Continent soon!"

The Corporation's reduction in certificate of deposit balances and its focus on core deposit growth, as well as certain customers tending to "park" funds in money market accounts in lower interest rate environments, accounted for this growth.Average certificates of deposit (CDs) declined from $305.7 million for the March 2010 quarter to $219.4 million for the March 2011 quarter, a decline of $86.3 million or 28.2 percent. The Corporation allowed higher cost CDs to run-off, and replaced those funds with lower cost, more stable core deposits. From December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, total deposits increased $12.1 million or 1.0 percent. The Corporation's checking, savings and money market balances increased $26.3 million, while higher costing CD balances declined by $14.4 million. Mr. Kissel commented, "Our continued growth in core deposits coupled with our reduced reliance on higher cost certificates of deposit, has reduced our cost of funds, and enhanced our franchise value." PGB Trust and Investments PGB Trust and Investments generated $2.7 million in fee income in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $2.4 million in the same quarter of 2010. The market value of the assets under administration of the Trust Division increased from $1.89 billion at March 31, 2010 to just under $2.00 billion at March 31, 2011. Craig C. Spengeman, President of PGB Trust & Investments commented, "We continue to see increases in our asset management business and related recurring fee income. We also continue to add new clients, as individuals seek our professional advice. We are pleased with the performance of our assets under administration - our performance reflects the sound financial management of our trust and investment professionals."

LAS VEGAS (KVVU) - A local man who relies on his wheelchair not only to get around but to do what he loves is now at a loss.
During a test drive, his wheelchair was stolen.
"Guess they needed it more than me," said wheelchair moto-cross athlete Aaron Fotheringham, also known as Wheelz.
Fotheringham was born with spina bifida, a birth defect of the spinal cord, which resulted in him having no usage of his legs. He went for a test drive in a Valley neighborhood before buying a truck Tuesday.
"At the bottom of this guy's driveway, I left the wheelchair. I thought about it for a second, like maybe I should put my wheelchair in the truck, but I was like, I'm just driving around the block real quick. Who's going to steal a wheelchair?" Fotheringham said.
Fotheringham said the test drive lasted two minutes, tops. The Nitro Circus performer who travels the world performing his famous back flips in stadium shows said the wheelchair was more than just a means of getting around.
"It's kind of like my money maker. It's the chair I use to do my jumps and tricks in," Fotheringham said.
The wheelchair, which is named Slammy, has full suspension, is lime neon green and has skateboard wheels in the front and big wheels in the back. A chair like it goes for $3,600. Fotheringham has a competition in a week and is now rushing to get another in time to compete.
"We've got to build the chair, and I've got to test it and get used to it because every chair is a little bit different, so I have to get it dialed in," Fotheringham said.
Fotheringham said he'll think twice before leaving his wheelchair unattended, but hopes the person who took Slammy will turn a wrong into a right.
"Maybe give it to a good cause, or hopefully it goes and does someone good like it did for me," Fotheringham said.

In its manifesto, the association urges the next Government to make a real change for children and families by focusing on three key areas of childcare: choice, cost and quality.
The 'NDNA Childcare Challenge' has been published following consultation with nursery owners, managers, practitioners and parents.
Choice for families
The NDNA calls for funding to reach the 'front line' in nurseries to enable settings to offer tens of thousands more high quality places for disadvantaged two-year-olds.
According to the association, nurseries have on average 25 per cent extra capacity to offer more childcare than is currently being used.
Cost of childcare
To prevent nurseries having to cover the shortfall of funding for free early education places by pushing up the costs of extra hours, the NDNA urges the next Government to protect early education funding and pay it directly to the parents' choice of provider, which it says will mean parents pay less.
The association goes on to say that any increase to the number of free hours must be backed by 'thoroughly costed funding commitments', as expanding on the basis of the current 'flawed' funding system is unsustainable and will ultimately threaten quality for children and choice for parents.
The NDNA also calls for an overhaul of the 'complex' childcare funding system, and for the next Government to ease the business burdens on nurseries by making VAT on childcare zero-rated, and give full business rates relief to put private, independent and voluntary providers on a 'level playing field' with state provision.
Quality of childcare
The 'NDNA Childcare Challenge' says that there must be a drive to improve settings that are not yet good with a joint effort from Government, regulators and the sector.
It goes on to call for regulation of childcare to be robust, accountable, with fair rights of appeal and trusted by providers and parents.
Purnima Tanuku, chief executive of the NDNA, said, 'We want families to have a real choice when it comes to choosing a nursery. There should be a wide range of local nursery care offering age appropriate care that is right for their child and their family.
'As well as choice for families, the NDNA Childcare Challenge is asking politicians to address the cost of childcare. Getting funding right is essential to the future of early years. Currently the amount paid for funded places falls well short of covering the cost of providing the place. These losses. which are in excess of £900 per child per year on three and four-year-old funded places, are unsustainable. Shouldering losses at this level impacts on the business and leaves less money to invest in staff and facilities and ultimately leads to restricted choice for parents.
'Our third challenge is quality. The early years sector is a stand out sector with 82 per cent of nurseries graded good or outstanding by Ofsted. Nurseries have, on average, 25 per cent extra capacity to offer high-quality childcare than is currently being used. Using these childcare places rather than looking to recreate provision in non age appropriate environments will create more choice for families.'
The NDNA is urging nursery owners, managers, practitioners and parents to sign up to its Childcare Challenge and make their voices heard, like its Facebook page or send a tweet to @ndnatalk using #voteforchildcare

China's role as a lifeline for Australia's economy continues to grow, with exports to the world's second-biggest market surging to a record $9.1 billion in October.
The dollar value of those shipments – led by iron ore – are more than twice what was earned from Australia's second and third-biggest destinations, the United States and Japan, exports to which have been declining.
Sales to China are 58 per cent higher than a year ago, while the rest of Australia's foreign markets combined are negative. "These numbers highlight just how important the Chinese economy is to Australia's growth at present," Commonwealth Bank economist
They also confirm why economic data out of China is having an increasingly growing impact on the Australian dollar, local shares and interest rate expectations.
UBS Australia chief economist
Tentative signs of improvement
The figures add to tentative signs the economy may already be starting to shake off the torpor that characterised Wednesday's September-quarter GDP growth report, which showed a sub-par annual expansion of 2.3 per cent.
"For the bears out there who say we think we're too tied to China, I still say a country with a couple of decades of reform ahead of itself isn't a bad thing to be linked with,"
"It's not like the US is a source of [export] growth, and Europe is doing nothing." She warned that while the Australian economy was in "great shape" there was a danger a downturn could become a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Australian Bureau of Statistics trade data on Thursday showed the trade deficit unexpectedly widened to $529 million in October after a 0.8 per cent jump in imports.
Despite the China surge, the total value of shipments of metal, ore and mineral exports – of which three-quarters is iron ore – declined slightly but remained 40 per cent higher from a year ago.
Economists said volumes of iron ore shipped are about 24 per cent higher than a year ago.

Something has to give. The Giants have won six consecutive elimination games and the Tigers haven't lost since Oct. 10. Detroit is looking for their first World Series title since 1984, while San Francisco is hoping to bookend a 2011 season in which they missed the playoffs with a pair of championships.
Over the course of the regular season, the Giants and Tigers were quite similar. San Francisco won six more games, but the clubs were close in batting average (.268 for the Tigers, .269 for the Giants), runs per game (4.5, 4.4) and ERA (3.75, 3.68).
In October, the Tigers have hit much better. They have a batting line -- .271/.317/.399 -- considerably better than that of the Giants -- .234/.301/.369. San Francisco has scored more often, 4.4 runs to 4.0 runs, thanks to timely hitting. They have also clubbed 10 home runs to just eight for Detroit. The Giants have drawn more walks, but the Tigers (slow-footed during the regular season) have stolen more bases.
The Tigers have more star power in their lineup, headlined by Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, but the Giants are deeper than they look. Hunter Pence and Buster Posey have struggled, hitting .188 and .178 respectively in the postseason, but if they get hot and Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval continue raking, they'll have no problem winning an 8-6 game over the Detroit.
With that said, if Jim Leyland's starting rotation continues to pitch as they did in the ALCS, the Giants won't have a shot at a second World Series title in three years. In nine games, Detroit has a 1.74 ERA and 86 strikeouts in fewer than 83 innings. They held the Yankees to just six runs in their four-game sweep. That's six runs over more than 36 innings to a club that averaged five runs per game in the regular season. They have allowed just 17 runs in the postseason.
Opposing hitters have a line of .176/.248/.275 against Justin Verlander and Co.
Verlander, who will start Game 1 against Barry Zito, has allowed just two runs in more than 24 innings. He is 3-0 with a 0.74 ERA and 25 strikeouts in the playoffs. You expect great things from Verlander, but the rest of the rotation has been nearly as effective. Anibal Sanchez (1.35 ERA), Doug Fister (1.35 ERA) and Max Scherzer (0.82) have each made two sterling starts. Of the 17 runs the Tigers have surrendered in the postseason, the rotation has allowed just seven despite throwing 75% of the team's innings.
How Leyland manages his bullpen, which has had their numbers skewed by Jose Valverde (seven runs in three appearances), will be a key to Detroit's success. If he's lucky, the starters will take the baseball and not return it until the seventh or eighth inning. Chances are Verlander won't give the baseball back under the game is over. If that happens, the Tigers will have a happy clubhouse.
If the Giants want to increase their chances of succeeding, they'll have to find a way to get to Detroit's starters early to ensure hacks at a few different relievers. San Francisco has refused to die this postseason, ensuring comfortability in late-game situations and with their backs against the wall. However, simple math indicates that Valverde should improve towards the mean, while guys like Phil Coke have been effective out of the bullpen.
San Francisco has had to score more to advance than their World Series opponent. Here is their scoring breakdown by inning:
First: 4, 7.69%
Second: 8, 15.38%
Third: 7, 13.46%
Fourth: 12, 23.07%
Fifth: 8, 15.38%
Sixth: 1, 1.92%
Seventh: 4, 7.69%
Eighth: 5, 9.61%
Ninth: 3, 5.76%
As you can see, a bulk of their scoring has come in the first five innings. There are two ways you can take this: (a) it's a positive that they've attacked starters and chased them early or (b) they have gotten to bullpens, but haven't had success against specialist relievers employed by the Reds and Cardinals. In my opinion, if they make opposing starters throw a ton of pitches early in the Fall Classic they'll be more than halfway to celebrating another title.
When the Giants won the World Series in 2010, they did so with a red-hot pitching staff, but Bruce Bochy's club has been far from unhittable this October. Instead of getting even better as Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain did two years ago and the Tigers have this month, San Francisco has simply maintained a solid pitching line. They had the seventh-lowest ERA (3.68) with the twelfth-most strikeouts during the regular season. Of the eight teams that appeared in more than a single postseason game, the Giants have second-highest ERA (3.36) despite shaving nearly half a run off of their regular season number.
The Year of the No-Hitter hasn't bitten in the playoffs yet, but the mound is still where games are won as the trend away from power hitting continues (just ask the Yankees). That has to scare the Giants at least a little bit, even if they possess a staff capable of stringing together several spectacular performances.
It's hard to imagine Cain getting knocked around and Ryan Vogelsong has allowed just three runs in 19 innings (three starts), but the Giants needed seven games to advance and they don't have the luxury of setting up their rotation as the Tigers have done. There is also the tantalizing presence of Barry Zito and Tim Lincecum.
Zito, who led the team to a 5-0 victory in a must-win Game 5 against St. Louis, has resurrected his career a bit. San Francisco has won his last 13 starts, dating back to Aug. 7, but just two years ago he was left off the team's roster for all three rounds of the postseason.
Because the Giants punched their ticket to the World Series on Monday night, they only announced who they will start after Zito just 24 hours before the first pitch. Lincecum won't get a start. The NL Cy Young winner in 2008 and '09, he struggled extensively this season -- going 10-15 with a 5.18 ERA and his lowest strikeout total since his rookie year in 2007.
In 2010, he led the Giants with a 2.43 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 37 innings. This fall, he has made one start and three relief appearances to the tune of a 3.46 ERA and 12 Ks in 13 innings. While he may not get an official start, there is a chance he could turn in a few innings if one of his teammates struggles early.
Prediction: Tigers in Six
When it boils down to it, too many stars will have to align for the Giants to edge the Tigers over a seven-game series. Verlander will pitch at least twice, which almost ensures two wins for Detroit at this point – that's how dominant he's been. Cabrera and Fielder are a tough tandem to face and they'll make a mark of their own against a San Francisco pitching staff that will have to be better in order to keep runs to a minimum.
I'm not discounting the Cain Effect, especially since he won't be going up against Verlander head-to-head. However, Verlander knows his compadres are also capable of shutting down an offense. Cain will have to cross his fingers that Vogelsong maintains his form, Zito doesn't revert to his usual San Francisco self.
The Tigers are simply riding a wave that the Giants know all too well. They traversed it just two years ago and it resulted in the game's highest reward.

I cannot improve on Eli's excellent essay, but I can provide concrete evidence for one of his abstract points: Scala. (Which, in turn, has baked in its own inflexibilities.) I was recently talking to some colleagues who were trying to convince me that PL people had "missed" a "huge" problem; they were referring to the language/library distinction (when a library becomes larger than some mental complexity, it is effectively a language in its own right). A good example is the Rails part of Ruby on Rails. I pointed out that (a) this is a well-known problem, but also (b) the Lisp community has never really had this problem, and (c) with work over the past ten years (Bawden's, Waddell's, mine, and finally reaching its pinnacle with Flatt's), we have even managed to formalize a sufficient (and good) solution to this problem The poor Java folks have no such end in sight.

|Functional Outcomes of Cleft Lip and Lip Revision Surgery
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to determine whether secondary (revision) surgery to the lip in patients with cleft lip and palate is effective in improving lip function and appearance.
|Detailed Description
Children born with clefting of the upper lip exhibit obvious disfigurement of the upper lip and nose. As illustrated below, primary lip surgery of the infant dramatically improves the severe deformity of the perioral and nasal region. It is widely recognized, however, that most patients require additional lip surgeries for an optimum esthetic result. Clinicians often disagree as to when this end point is reached since the decision for additional lip revision is based on subjective clinical assessments.
Facial morphology during function has a major impact on how a person is perceived in society and is known to be an important component of the esthetic outcome for cleft patients, but it has been particularly difficult to incorporate measures of lip function into the decision-making process. It is likely that the different surgical procedures for both primary lip closure and secondary lip revision could be improved if the effects of alternative surgical techniques on function were better understood. The subjects for this project consist of two cleft lip and palate patient groups treated at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Craniofacial Center: one cleft group will be patients who are candidates for additional lip revision surgery; the other cleft group will be patients who have been judged not to need lip revision; and a matched non-cleft group who present for routine dental care at UNC School of Dentistry. The goals of this project are to objectively measure and quantify functional facial impairment in cleft patients, and to establish more reliable, functionally relevant outcome criteria for treatment planning and evaluation of these individuals. Our specific aims, therefore, are to
To address these aims, we have identified a group of highly qualified individuals with widely recognized expertise in the application of the proposed methodologies, and a panel of surgeons experienced in cleft care for clinical evaluation of outcomes. This expertise, the availability of an appropriate patient resource, and the home institution's 40-year history of strong commitment to the care of these patients and craniofacial research, all favor success in meeting the goals of the project.
