The SilverStone SUGO SG06 is the next product in a long line of Small Form Factor chasis made by SilverStone. It is the second of their SFF cases made for mini-ITX/DTX motherboards, following the SG05. The SG06 is nearly the same case as the SG05. The front face of the SG05 has been replaced with a thicker aluminum front panel without the meshed area for air intake.
The top and two side panels cover the air flow issue very well, provide plenty of mesh area to allow air in and out. In a small case like this, airflow is very important. Keeping all the components cool while packed in to a tight area can be quite difficult. One of the biggest worries about the SG06 was that the solid aluminum front plate would impede airflow throughout the case. Because of all the meshed area along the other three sides, however, airflow is not a problem at all.
The back panel also keeps with the mesh theme of the case. The power supply has a mesh rear plate and the two expansion slots are covered with a mesh slot covers. Even the area above the slot covers is meshed. You can really tell that SilverStone put a lot of thought into keeping the case open enough to provide adequate cooling. Making a small form factor case, and giving it a 300W power supply necessitates that line of thinking.
In all, the new front panel for the SG06 case adds only about 1cm to the overall length of the case. Since the panel is entirely made of aluminum, it also adds about four tenths of a pound. I think the improved look of the case more than makes up for the slight increase in size. It's still a very tiny case.

SAMANTHA Brick and Danica Thrall have been booted off Celebrity Big Brother.
Journalist Samantha and lingerie model Danica lost out to TV presenter Coleen
Nolan after all three were put up for eviction by their housemates.
The public voted "to save" Coleen, who shot to fame in the Seventies alongside
her sisters in The Nolans.
Samantha – who famously bemoaned the pitfalls of being beautiful in a
newspaper article – was the first out and was given a largely positive
reception from the notoriously hostile crowd outside the BB house.
But Sex Lies And Rinsing Guys reality star Danica didn't fare nearly as well,
walking out to a chorus of boos.
The 24-year-old beauty sparked much controversy in the house after leading on
both Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino and Prince Lorenzo Borghese with her
Danica confessed to host Brian Dowling: "I am a very flirtatious person and I
always have been.
"I love Prince Lorenzo and I love The Situation but I would never have crossed
that line. I have a beautiful boyfriend.
"I didn't realise how bad I was until I've watched it."
However, she accepted she "did cross the line", adding: "I should have thought
about feelings getting hurt.
"It makes me realise that every boyfriend I've ever had has been right.
They've always told me I'm flirtatious and it's clear to see that I am."

Application of the Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System to Welfare Analysis
This paper presents the theoretical properties of the Inverse Almost Ideal De-mand System and applies the system on time series data for cod, herring and plaice in Denmark (1986 to 2001). Furthermore, the shortcoming of the Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System when applied to welfare analysis is discussed. The properties of the demand system show that - since the demand system is a second-order approximation to the true system - it does not have global appli-cability for welfare measurement. It may, therefore, not satisfy the conditions for calculation of consumer surplus (negative slope and positive point of inter-section with the price-axis). The theoretical point is illustrated by an empirical example of the Danish fish market. Using a vector auto regressive model in er-ror correction form to overcome the problem of non-stationarity of data, the In-verse Almost Ideal Demand System is estimated. For cod the intercept is nega-tive and for herring and plaice the slope of the demand function is positive in the data interval investigated. Thus, the estimated demand system is not suitable for welfare analysis.

Slowing Down Speeders
Rich Van Wyk/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - Police are waging a less-than-winning battle against drivers racing through neighborhoods.
In a 30 mph zone, Eyewitness News cameras captured a police officer clocking drivers at 43, 44, 45, and 46 mph.
Drivers are treating residential streets with 20-mph speed limits like highways and urban interstates.
"We'll get a 55 in a 30-mph zone," said Clayton Willis, IMPD.
Although Indianapolis police write as many as 400 speeding tickets a week, that doesn't seem to put a stop to speeding.
"People, in general, they slow down, but then once we leave they don't see a car sitting here, it becomes a race track," said Dave Bryand, IMPD officer.
Lawrence Police fare no better stopping speeders or drivers from rolling through stop signs.
"We could be out here and then once we leave, they don't see us hiding somewhere. It is right back to the way it is before," said Tracy Cantrell, Lawrence PD.
Forest Park Drive is a notorious short cut for high school students.
"I see them line up side by side and drag race," said Damion Smith.
Police say they've actually caught kids racing. On the day Eyewitness News shot video in the neighborhood, an officer stopped a driver for going 48 mph in a 30 mph in that neighborhood.
"It is frightening because there are kids who walk home. Kids walk up and down the street. I am afraid one for these kids may become a victim," said Iris Salter, home owner.
On the far south side of Indianapolis, the speed limit is 20 mph on Doris Drive. Resident John Bley wasn't surprised when we told him we found cars driving through at 35 mph.
Bley and other residents say cars often rip through here at 50 mph despite frequent police radar traps.
"They could solve the state's deficit if they watched and sat here all day and wrote tickets," said Bley. "It's that bad."
Indianapolis traffic police insist they are trying.
"Our number one priority, most of the time, is to do those traffic complaints, to be in the neighborhoods and try to slow them down," said Lt. Bart McAtee, IMPD.
But the entire city has only 30 traffic officers. Along with slowing people down, they have to direct traffic for sporting and other events.
"I think last year we did 357 special events," said Lt. McAtee.
On some days, just two officers are available all day to issue speeding tickets.
So what can residents do to reclaim their streets?
When we did this story seven years ago we found a racetrack - of sorts - where drivers would speed through at 64 mph. It's now a safe, quiet street.
"It took a fatality to make this happen," said Mary Chapman, home owner.
Homeowners in that north side neighborhood say someone died before the city finally provided the help they needed to live in peace.
In 2005 a teenager speeding down the street, struck a tree and died.
"It was devastating. We were all devastated. The whole neighborhood was devastated," Chapman said.
The speed bumps homeowners begged and begged for, but the city repeatedly insisted weren't necessary, suddenly appeared six days later.
"Speed bumps do slow people down," said Sara Holsappel, Department of Public Works
Yet in the last seven years, the city's installed speed slowing bumps on only ten streets. That's only one of every ten requested.
"That's because people aren't calling in and demanding them or when they do call in, they don't want to go through the difficult process to have them installed," Holsappel said.
75 percent of residents have to agree to speed bumps and then the city has to find 85 percent of the traffic is speeding before installing them.
More than 100 neighborhoods have asked for additional stop signs.
There are plenty in one Lawrence subdivision, but at best, police say stop signs only slow people down.
"Most people treat stop signs like yield signs," said Vladimir Kryjanovski, Lawrence Police Department.
Residents say while radar patrols do help, they don't entirely solve the problem.
"It's the high school kids, if they only knew what they are doing, it's so dangerous."
It appears as if the adults are just as bad. Police say most of the drivers they ticket live in the neighborhoods they are speeding through.
Homeowners looking to make streets safer may have to only look next door or in the rear view mirror.
Who do you see in that rear view mirror? Possibly yourself.
Every police officer Eyewitness News talked with said many times the drivers they catch speeding, are often the residents who called in complaining.
If speeding is a problem in your neighborhood, try the following:

Traffic Division
Suggested Links
Mayor's Action Center
Speed Bumps
Dept. of Public Works

1200 S Madison Ave.

Opponents of Morsi pray in Tahrir Square in Cairo. Amr Nabil / AP
The revolutions that shook the Arab world in 2011 continue to reverberate throughout the region. While each nation, with its own economic, socio-cultural, ethnic, and political realities, lends a distinctive character to the conflict there, in a deeper sense, these disparate struggles are the result of an encounter between modernity and fundamentalism in the Muslim world. Caught in the middle of this struggle are many vulnerable religious minorities, including millions of Christians.
For some in the Middle East, the West provides a model for liberalism and prosperity that merits emulation. Many Muslims, however, recoil in revulsion at any Western influence as corrosive and immoral. The former see the West a roadmap for progress; the latter believe that Islam must be purified, purged of all Western influence, and returned to fundamentals. Moderates, by definition, tend to lack a uniformity of thought and approach a strategic weakness that fundamentalists, with their singularity of purpose, have been able to exploit to their advantage. Yet as fundamentalists look to the past as the means to reclaim greatness, they often overlook a crucial component of early and medieval Islam namely, its capacity to absorb and incorporate diverse thought as it grew from the faith an irrelevant tribe to global significance in a matter of decades.
The Golden Age of Islam was characterized by a general tolerance for "people of the book" (Jews and Christians), and free philosophical and scientific inquiry. Early Islam encountered Greek philosophy with an open mind; the medieval philosopher Avicenna would even reconcile classical philosophy with Muslim revelation, as Aquinas would later do with Christianity. Conquered peoples were made to pay the "jizya" (a tax on non-Muslims), but many, such as the Coptic Christians of Egypt, regarded the Arabs as liberators. This new Muslim empire, which stretched from the Iberian Peninsula to North Africa and from the Levant to the borders of China, demonstrated a remarkable capacity to absorb diverse religious and cultural influences in a manner that served to strengthen, rather than weaken it.
Religious minorities would play a vital role in this robust culture from the outset. Islam's Golden Age arguably saw its apex under the Umayyad Caliphate in Medieval Spain, where Jews, Christians, and Muslims together achieved feats in learning (philosophy) and architecture to be rivaled only by those of Constantinople. These achievements contributed to the intellectual revival that occurred in Europe later in the age of Scholastic philosophy. Despite their inferior "dhimmi" status (a form of official discrimination), the persecution of non-Muslims in Spain was rare.
Islam's medieval moment did not last. Many observers, from Bernard Lewis to Robert Reilly to Fareed Zakaria, have attempted to diagnose this decline, citing intellectual, economic, and political causes. Whatever the source, there is consensus among Muslims and non-Muslims alike that all is not as it ought to be nor indeed as it once was. The centuries that followed the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate saw the Christian West prosper. As modern Europe increasingly asserted itself in the Middle East, the great powers particularly Britain, France, and Russia advocated for the rights of religious minorities there. These efforts met with some success: the jizya was largely repealed; dhimmitude, as much an attitude as a legal status, was not so easily abrogated. In recent decades, however, the commitment of Western democracies to religious freedom has waned with the rise of an increasingly secular public culture. The preeminence of secularism in the West coincided with and likely contributed to the rise of fundamentalism in the Middle East. Perhaps most disconcerting for Middle Eastern Christians, generally proponents of liberalism, is how comfortable Western liberal democracies have become with political Islam and even extremism. In consequence, many feel betrayed, especially by America.
The world continues to grow smaller. Cultural encounters will become more common, and more vital. As Muslims in the West serve as a cultural bridge to the Middle East, so the Christians of the Middle East are a vital bridge to the West. The contributions of the region's Christians intellectual, cultural, economic to their societies tend to be overlooked by policymakers and politicians in the formulation of Middle East policy.
Christians, the largest religious minority in the Middle East, are now departing from their ancestral homelands in record numbers. The causes are many, but are principally related to the rise of extremism, persecution and the perception that Middle Eastern Christians ought to be associated with the West despite the fact that most Western Christians are either unaware of their existence or feel no cultural bonds with them. It is a trend that Western policymakers should find troubling. Religious uniformity is the goal of the extremists, who wish to remake the Muslim world in the image of Saudi Arabia. With each Christian who is killed or driven out, they are a step closer.

Matt Prior is a doubtful starter for first Test in Brisbane
In a huge blow to England, wicket-keeper Matt Prior may not be fit for the first Ashes Test in Brisbane after a low-grade tear in his calf was revealed from scans.
The 31-year-old Prior has been a regular fixture in the English squad and has played many crucial innings lower down the order. He will be replaced by Jonny Bairstow for the match against New South Wales XI this week. Prior suffered the injury in the warm-up game against Australia A on Saturday.
Prior tweeted this earlier on Monday:
Obviously very disappointed to be missing the game at SCG but doing everything possible to be ready for the 1st Test at the Gabba! #ashes
— Matt Prior (@MattPrior13) November 11, 2013
Ian Bell said that Prior's absence could be worrisome for the team.
"Matt is a key player for us – as vice-captain, he's a really important guy to have in our dressing room," he said.
"It's a little bit disappointing but I believe there is enough time still for that first Test match to get him fully fit and on the field.
"But it gives Jonny Bairstow an opportunity as well to get the gloves on and get out there. On tours like this in the past we've learnt that the more guys that can get cricket as a squad then the better we'll be. But fingers crossed Matty will be right for Brisbane.

A city called Avalon had its place in the mythos of the modern blues: A central Mississippi town of some 100 souls, it was where Mississippi John Hurt lived, and where he was rediscovered, nearly 35 years after he made the 78s on which his considerable reputation rested.
Hurt was the first of the great prewar singer-guitarists to be rescued from obscurity by researchers in the early '60s; Son House, Skip James, and Bukka White were among the others who were subsequently unearthed to perform at folk music festivals and coffeehouses, to the awestruck wonder of a legion of young fans.
Hurt was an anomaly among these performers, most of whom played in the rough-hewn Mississippi Delta style, which mainly favored bottleneck slide playing and forceful vocals. He was a fingerpicker with a flowing, subdued style, and his singing was soft, pensive, and almost bashful. Little of his repertoire was what could be called straight blues, though many of his song titles bore the word "Blues"; his ballads and story-songs grew out of an older, pre-blues tradition. It may be best to term him a "songster," in the same vein as Texas performer Mance Lipscomb, though he was also venerated by blues fans who admired his formidable technique.
While he was a virtuoso on his instrument, his music had a deceptively down-to-earth quality. His producer and friend Patrick Sky said, "The thing that made him a giant was the simplicity of his music, but it was a complicated simplicity. When you first hear it, you think, 'That's simple, I can do that.' But when you try, you go, 'Forget about it.'"
John Hurt was born in Teoc, Mississippi, on July 3, 1892; his family included eight brothers and two sisters. He made it about halfway through grammar school. He grew up in the nearby farming community of Avalon, a speck on the map just 12 miles north of Greenwood, Mississippi, where bluesman Robert Johnson died in 1938. He began teaching himself to play at the age of nine, impressed by the prowess of a local musician named William Henry Carson. He developed a dense three-finger picking style that demonstrated immense facility, alternating melodic work and an underlying bass line.
Unlike many of the best-known players from the Delta — Charley Patton, House, James, Johnson, Willie Brown, Tommy Johnson — Hurt was not an itinerant professional. In fact, Hurt had little contact with his blues-playing contemporaries until they began sharing festival stages upon their rediscovery in the '60s. He spent most of his early years as a farmer, performing only at dances and other social events close to home. For a spell, he lined track for the Illinois Central, and credited that stint for the presence of "Spike Driver Blues" (his "John Henry"/"Nine Pound Hammer" variant) and "Casey Jones" in his repertoire.
Around 1923 Hurt began working as a regular substitute for guitarist S.W. "Shell" Smith with Smith's partner W.T. "Will" Narmour, one of the best-known and most proficient hillbilly fiddlers in Carroll County, Mississippi. (It is a measure of Hurt's own skill that he was asked to work with a white performer in the rigorously segregated Deep South.) Narmour & Smith's 1929 instrumental "Carroll County Blues" was among the most performed fiddle breakdowns of the day.
Hurt's association bore great fruit in 1928. Okeh Records talent scout T.J. Rockwell signed Narmour & Smith as recording artists, and asked Narmour if he could recommend any deserving local talent. The fiddler suggested Hurt, and, after an in-person audition in Avalon, Hurt was offered a session, and traveled with Narmour & Smith to Memphis in February.
On Valentine's Day, he made his recording debut, cutting eight sides. "Frankie," his dizzying, high-velocity rendition of the "Frankie and Johnnie" legend, was released as a 78, backed with his original "Nobody's Dirty Business." (Such mainstays of his later concert repertoire as "Monday Morning Blues" and "Casey Jones" were also recorded, as well as the sacred numbers "Blessed Be the Name" and "Meeting On the Old Camp Ground.") Interestingly, the session cards indicate that Okeh originally planned to market Hurt as "old time music" to hillbilly audiences, but altered his designation later to "race" (i.e., blues) performer. At his arrival, John Hurt — dubbed "Mississippi" by the label — stubbornly defied musical categories and racial barriers.
Sales of "Frankie" were apparently deemed successful enough to warrant a second recording session, so in December 1928 Hurt took the train to New York City for two days of studio work. In addition to re-recording the two spirituals from the February date, he recorded several songs with which he would be identified: "Stack O' Lee Blues" (his version of the familiar gunfighter ballad "Staggerlee"), "Candy Man Blues," "Got the Blues Can't Be Satisfied," "Louis Collins," and "Spike Driver Blues." He also recorded the song that would play a fateful role in his career: "Avalon Blues."
Okeh issued five more 78s by Hurt. But his career was not helped by the withering of the market for recorded music following the 1929 stock market crash, and in its wake Mississippi John Hurt disappeared from the recording studio and the public eye. He contented himself with farm work in Avalon, and continued to play at events in his immediate area, seldom straying far from home.
Hurt would have swept into the mists of legend were it not for a burgeoning interest in blues and hillbilly artists of the '20s that developed following World War II. A signal event was the inclusion of Hurt's "Frankie" and "Spike Driver Blues" on Anthology of American Folk Music, the six-LP compilation of vintage commercial sides assembled by the eccentric artist and collector Harry Smith and released in 1952 by Moses Asch's Folkways Records. As the decade progressed, an entire school of fans, researchers, and collectors — many of whom bought or traded old 78s and passed music hand-to-hand on reel-to-reel tape copies -- began to poke around, traveling hitherto unexplored back roads in an attempt to learn more about the obscure, long-forgotten musicians who fascinated them.
According to blues historian Ted Gioia's book Delta Blues, the first researcher to pick up Mississippi John Hurt's trail was the tenacious Mack McCormick. His only clue lay in the song Hurt had recorded in New York on Dec. 21, 1928, "Avalon Blues"; its lyric ran, "Avalon, my hometown, always on my mind." The town was so small that it didn't even appear on contemporary maps, but in 1962 McCormick located it in a prewar Encyclopedia Britannica, and called the general store. He was told, "John was just here. Do you want me to get him?" He later interviewed Hurt and took down the basic details of his life.
However, it was Washington, D.C., blues aficionado Tom Hoskins, a friend of the noted local collector Dick Spottswood, who located Avalon in an 1878 Rand-McNally atlas and took to the road to find Hurt. Upon his arrival at the town general store, Stinson's, in 1963, Hoskins was told to look for Hurt a mile up the road, at the third mailbox up the hill. The suspicious musician at first took his fan — one of the few white Northerners to be seen in the region — to be an FBI agent.
Hoskins wasted no time in bringing his discovery to Washington, D.C., where Hurt recorded his repertoire for the Library of Congress. He also performed commercial sessions for Spottswood's independent label Piedmont Records (later reissued in their entirety on CD by Rounder Records). In July 1963, he made a deliriously received appearance before astonished folk music buffs at Rhode Island's Newport Folk Festival. The '60s blues revival — soon to be fed by the rediscovery of other "lost" blues artists -- probably began in earnest with Hurt's Newport set. In 1964, he was joined there by Skip James, Rev. Robert Wilkins, and Sleepy John Estes; Son House arrived in 1965.
Hurt was soon signed to Vanguard Records, the independent New York folk label. His sessions for the company were produced by singer-songwriter Patrick Sky, who kept things intimate by barring everyone except the artist, himself, and the recording engineer from the studio. Three days of work produced enough material for three albums: Mississippi John Hurt Today! (1966), The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt (1967), and Last Sessions (1972). These albums contain the best-known latter-day versions of his songs. Vanguard also recorded Hurt extensively at Newport.
In his 70s, the charming and soft-spoken Hurt became a much-beloved figure on the coffeehouse folk circuit, and even something of a national celebrity, appearing with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. (Footage of that show has apparently not survived, but Hurt's delightful appearance on Pete Seeger's show Rainbow Quest is readily available on YouTube.)
Despite his popularity, he remained humble, and even somewhat skeptical of his own talents. Manager Dick Waterman observed to writer Peter Guralnick, "Well, John thought very little of his own music, it was just a whole bunch of songs that everyone had been doing at home, and he thought of himself as just a no-talented little picker in comparison to Skip [James]."
He died Nov. 2, 1966, in Grenada, Mississippi, just miles from his beloved Avalon.
Hurt was inducted into the Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame in 1988. A museum has been established in his name near Avalon, which also hosts a Mississippi John Hurt Blues Festival. In 2001, Vanguard released Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt; produced by Peter Case, who recorded for the label, the album included performances by Beck, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Taj Mahal, John Hiatt, and Case and Dave Alvin. It received a Grammy Award nomination as best traditional folk album.

A new process for old fingerprints
Research produces a technique for developing aged latent fingerprints from non-porous surfaces
Most conventional techniques for developing latent fingerprints depend on the presence of oil from the donor's skin left behind on the surface where the print is found. Over time, the oil dries, evaporates, or is worn or washed away, making the print difficult to see with powders and cyanoacrylate (superglue) fuming techniques. New research from Australia describes a process where prints up to a year old can be developed on a non-porous surface, using the amino acids left behind by the donor.
This research comes from the University of Technology in Sydney, NSW Australia. The process has three steps. First, the surface where the prints are believed to be present is immersed in a solution of anti-L-amino acid antibodies conjugated to gold-citrate nanoparticles in a water-acetone mixture, and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C (99°F). The surface is washed, then a second solution of anti-rabbit secondary antibody labeled with Fluorescent Red 610 is applied at room temperature for 15 minutes, then washed again. Finally, the developed prints are illuminated and visualized with a xenon arc lamp emitting a wavelength of 590 nm, and viewed with a 650 nm bandpass barrier filter.
While that sounds like a production that could be completed only in a sophisticated laboratory, it's likely that a commercialized process would furnish the necessary reagents, light and filters in a kit with labels something like "Solution A" and "Solution B."
Latent fingerprints are left behind when we touch something because of the mixture of water, fatty acids, salts and free amino acids on our fingertips. Most latent print development techniques target the oily secretions from the sebaceous glands associated with hair follicles in our skin. These oils will be present only if the friction ridges have touched a hair-covered area of the body prior to contacting the surface holding the latent print. Amino acids on the skin surface originate in the eccrine (sweat) glands distributed across the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, and are therefore present on friction ridges whether they have come into contact with hair follicles or not.
Conventional methods, such as dusting with lampblack powder or cyanoacrylate fuming, work well on non-porous surfaces when the prints are fresh. As the prints age, development with these methods produces progressively less detail with more background staining. The antibody technique, which targets the amino acids in a latent print, doesn't seem to be affected by aging of the prints. Latent prints up to a year old have been developed with this method, indicating that the amino acid deposit from the prints is chemically stable on most non-porous surfaces.
There is another sophisticated development technique that targets blood group antigens present on some friction ridges, but it is limited to 80 percent of the population. The other 20 percent do not secrete blood type carbohydrates necessary for the process in their perspiration.
A quirk of this new amino acid antibody process is that it is especially effective with print donors who regularly consume soft drinks, chewing gum or other substances containing phenylalanine-based sweeteners, such as aspartame (NutraSweet). Consumption of this food additive increases the level of phenylalanine in fingerprint secretions, and phenylalanine produces an immune response to the anti-L-amino antibodies.

Welcome to the latest installment of the BayBlog Question of the Week! Each week, we take a question submitted on the Chesapeake Bay Program website or a frequently asked question and answer it here for all to read.
This week's question came from John in New Jersey. John has been experiencing problems with mute swans while kayaking in his local waterways. He has seen them before, but never had any issues with them until last year. He and other kayakers were attacked several times last year and the attacks have resumed this year. He asked: "Short of quitting my favorite weekend sport, what can I do to deter the swan from attacking me?"
For this question, we contacted Jonathan McKnight, the associate director for habitat conservation with the Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
McKnight said that, unfortunately, mute swan attacks are not uncommon. Mute swans are an invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and other parts of the East Coast (such as New Jersey), causing problems for humans, other wildlife and the habitats where they live. Mute swans are very territorial of their nesting areas and near their young. With wingspans that can reach 6 feet long, mute swans are capable of causing serious injury to humans.
In Maryland, any mute swan attacks or sightings can be reported to DNR, and DNR officials will go out to the site and remove the swans. If mute swans are prohibiting use of the waterways near you, McKnight suggests contacting your state's wildlife agency.
The best advice McKnight could offer John was to wear a life preserver when out in his kayak and to make his posture taller than the swan.
"If you are smaller than the swan, it will attack mercilessly," McKnight said.
John had also mentioned an idea of using a bird repellent to ward off the swans, which McKnight said might be successful.
Visit our page on mute swans for more information about these invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

CULVER CITY, Calif. — USC coach Lane Kiffin downplayed the impact all the hype surrounding the Trojans had on last season's disappointing 7-6 campaign. The projected national championship contenders lost five of their final six games to slide quickly into mediocrity.
"I don't think the 'hype' had anything to do with our performance last year," said Kiffin, who explained that the USC staff spent a lot of time in January and February figuring out what happened. Coaches looked at everything in the program — focusing on the things that have to do with winning and losing.
"I think we didn't play very well and we didn't coach very well," Kiffin said. "When you do that, that's what happens."
Kiffin noted that playing better on third down and in the red zone need to improve, as does tackling better on defense.
"Those are the things that matter and that's what we've gone back to basics in working on all spring and that's what we will start with (in camp)," he said.
There's added motivation with the rise of rival UCLA's program. The crosstown Bruins defeated USC 38-28 last November.
"That rivalry game is obviously very big for us, big for our fans and both universities being so close with so many connections," Kiffin said. "Obviously, we were on the wrong side of it last year. For a number of years we were on the right side and we got to get that back."
That, however, will have to wait until the game rolls around.
"Now it's going to be about having a good training camp and preparing well," Kiffin said. "And when we get to that game, playing better and coaching better than we did."
OFFENSE: Junior wide receiver Marqise Lee, who won the Biletnikoff Award last season after making a conference-record 118 catches for 1,721 yards, headlines an offense that must replace stars like quarterback Matt Barkley, wide receiver Robert Woods and center Khaled Holmes. Running back Silas Redd (905 yards) is back to help. Sophomore Max Wittek is the front-runner to start at quarterback.
DEFENSE: New defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast takes over a unit with seven returning starters. Standouts include senior defensive end Morgan Breslin (19.5 tackles-for-loss, 13 sacks) and defensive tackle Leonard Williams, the Pac-12 Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2012. The linebacker corps is comprised of two-year starters Dion Bailey, Hayes Pullard and Lamar Dawson, all juniors.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Lee averaged 28.3 yards on kickoff returns last season. Kicker Andre Heidari is also back. He made 10 of 16 field goals as a sophomore.
EXTRA POINTS: USC athletic director Pat Haden released a video stating that Kiffin was not on the "hot seat." ... Kiffin has decided to close all practices to the media once the season begins. ... The Trojans' final two home games are against last year's Pac-12 championship game participants — Stanford and UCLA.

B.Holmes seems to go to current e-mail rather than permanent e-mail. Which e-mail do you get yours from?--B.holmes 07:57, 19 February 2010 (EST)
I am a volunteer admin. I am a little confused about what sort of help you need. Are you the same user as B.Holmes? What can I do to help you? --sq 10:56, 19 February 2010 (EST)
Sure thing. I just have not figured out how to add sources yet. BK-124 and etc was my way of knowing what source to add once I knew how to add it. Happy to contribute in the joint manner you suggest. B.holmes--B.holmes 20:49, 24 April 2010 (EDT)
Jrich, Thanks for your insight. I see your points.--B.holmes 16:22, 4 May 2010 (EDT)
Great. Good advice again. May I ask another question. My hope to a WeRelate page was to have a readable narrative page that fills out more about the person or family than most genealogy programs. That is why o the family page I wanted to say a little about the husband and something about the wife then their marriage and their children. I agree that this means having multiple pages to update. Perhaps a way to accomplish what I was after could be to have the separate pages mirror on the family page? I noted that the John Bowne page is just a mirror of the Wikipedia page. Can this be done with WeRelate pages? ie. Can I have a family page that 1) mirrors the husband's page, the 2) the wife's page, the 3) the first childs family page? etc.?--B.holmes 23:22, 4 May 2010 (EDT)
citing sources [24 April 2010]
It sure would be nice if you named your sources rather than simply asserting everything about the Feakes, or saying "other sources". I removed the sentence from Person:Hannah Feake (1) that said: "BK-124 states, "she had red hair as a child and was delivered by Telaka, a Siwanoy Indian Squaw."" on two grounds: mostly that no other reader than you will know what BK-124 is, and secondarily because I wonder whether this is a fact versus a romanticization? Of course, we would have a better idea of the answer to item 2 if we knew what BK-124 was. This website is about collaboration, and because you are working with other people who don't necessarily know you, it is necessary to cite your sources. Thanks. --Jrich 22:41, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
Excessive commentary [14 May 2010]
I have been watching your changes to Family:John Bowne and Hannah Feake (1) and have to ask why you are putting all this information here? Let me give an example of why I don't think it is all that useful. There is basically a paragraph on each child which duplicates the information that should go on each child's own Person page. Now, if any of these facts change on the child's Person page, due to new research, will some future user have to remember to change it in both places? Why not keep the information about, say, Person:Mary Bowne (3), on her page, so if new information comes to light it only needs to be changed in one place? Why is it not sufficient to have the child listed in the family summary in the left margin? If some are missing, you can/should create them so you can store all this information.
Also, you have the issue that some of the sources cited are only there because they talk about the children, not about the marriage. Shouldn't these go on the child's own Person page? For example, the Field Genealogy is a reasonable source for Benjamin Field and Hannah Bowne, but does not pretend to have done any thorough study of her parents and does not provide any insight into when and where the parents were married.
Speaking of The Field Genealogy, a work I have often used, as pointed out in an earlier message, much of the information you posted in the source citation is merely duplicating information that is, and properly belongs, on Source:Pierce, Frederick Clifton. Field Genealogy page, yet it does not provide something so useful as the page number. Do I as a reader really care if you happened to read The Field Genealogy at the Georgia Historical Society (especially since the copy available on books.google.com is more convenient to my California home)? I care more to know exactly what subset of all the information on this page you relied on this source for. In particular, it would be helpful to know it quotes Flushing Friends records (a primary source) and that the original record actually says Hannah "died 30th day, 10th m, 1707" because, sure enough, a quick search finds a website that lists her death date as the erroneous 30 Oct 1707 based on misinterpreting this Quaker date string. --Jrich 13:11, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
Jrich, Not sure which way to reply. I see your points and appreciate your insight.--B.holmes 16:23, 4 May 2010 (EDT)
Thank you. I saw your reply. If you look on your main user page, you should see me listed as a watcher, so I will be notified if you update your user page or the associated Talk page. So when you replied on the Talk page, I was notified. Some people like to reply on the originator's Talk page, but that splits the post and reply on two different pages, which makes it hard for others who may be watching, so I think it is best to just reply in the same place as the post. Just for reference, another way to reply, is to go to the user page of the user you want to contact, and in the More menu there is an option to send them email (if they allow it-some don't). This email route is useful to carry on a more private conversation with just that user, and not anybody that happens to browse the Talk page. --Jrich 18:17, 4 May 2010 (EDT)
Continued duplication of data, and other points [20 May 2010]
Duplication of data:
I have tried to use the transclusion feature to add info to a page so that it is narrative and not just useful to a strict genealogist. The info with citations are to be on the persons page. There may be some that I have failed to get to yet. Please excuse.
You may speak for all WeRelate people when you say to leave the narrative blank if the only info is that in the left hand column. I suggest that there are others, myself being one, who would find the page more enjoyable if it were a readable narrative. The transclusion feature enables the related info from parents and children's pages to be pulled in for context without their own citations. I have tried to add links back to the individuals where sources are cited.--B.holmes 22:25, 8 May 2010 (EDT)
My belief is that you will not like it so much after you get used to the WeRelate format, and find few pages that are laid out the same way. I think it distracts from any added stories or detail that does belong there. Plus it increases the maintenance effort to anybody that subsequently changes the page, by requiring them to make changes twice. I can tell you that if I were to find good sources that contradict your data, as some of the items that I listed above hint that I could, I would not bother to make changes twice. Instead, I would merely delete the duplicate data. It is a waste of time to read through all your added text, with its surplus of headers, only to find it adds nothing to the page that wasn't known before.
Besides the fact that I think what you are trying to accomplish with transclusion is unnecessary, and even slightly detrimental, I personally suspect that transclusion is a bad idea as well. Mostly, because if somebody else wants to transclude a different part of Hannah Feake's page, they are going to have to move the onlyinclude's around to suit themselves, but that will destroy what you wanted. And Help:Advanced Editing Commands implies that the transcluded pages should be templates, that are designed from the start to be transcluded, not Person and Family pages.
I would be more interested in seeing the quality of genealogical material improve before worrying so much about the cosmetic presentation of it. This is necessary to ensure a reliable consensus about the facts that will make this site useful to other researchers. This requires the citing of quality sources. "Genealogy without sources is mythology." --Jrich 23:54, 8 May 2010 (EDT)
I think I have a solution to this issue. The problem is that the basic information about people on person and family pages appears down the left-hand side of the screen, leaving the main body of the page blank. Blank pages are aesthetically unappealing. But duplicating the information on the left so that it also appears in the main body means that if something is changed, it needs to be changed in two places, which has disadvantages. A possibly-better solution would be for the software to list the basic information about people in infoboxes on the main body of the page instead of down the left-hand side. Coincidentally I've been working on exactly this, and should have it working by the end of this week.--Dallan 10:29, 13 May 2010 (EDT)
Thanks Dallen, I look forward to seeing your efforts. Need a Beta tester?--B.holmes 09:03, 14 May 2010 (EDT)
I'm making this announcement on the watercooler. If you have some feedback, I'd love to hear from you. Please add a comment to the "New look" topic on the watercooler.--Dallan 09:28, 20 May 2010 (EDT)
Dates and Gregorian Calendar [11 May 2010]
All the dates you added to Family:John Bowne and Hannah Bickerstaff (3) are wrong because they ignore the calendar shift of 1752. You should read and study wikipedia:Gregorian Calendar because this is something you must understand if you are going to do genealogy before 1752. Basically, when they switched from the Julian to Gregorian calendar in England and its possessions in 1752, the first month of the year was changed from March to January. So before this time, if you see a date that refers to the 9th month, it means November, not September, etc, etc. This is particularly crucial in Quaker records because of their fondness for using numeric months. --Jrich 11:17, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
Census titles [7 August 2010]
Hello B. Holmes, I noticed that you are creating new census pages. WR's naming convention for census pages is: County, State, United States. YYYY U.S. Census Population Schedule (where YYYY is the year of the census). The pages you created had US instead of U.S. I renamed the pages you created, and changed the links on your person pages. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day! --Jennifer (JBS66) 09:16, 7 August 2010 (EDT)
Thanks for your help again.--B.holmes 10:02, 7 August 2010 (EDT)
an oops! [27 December 2010]
I'm glad to see some of your posting! I just saw your page Family:Joseph Hedger and Sarah Stevenson (1) and believe there is an oops where the link to Woodbridge, Colonial New Jersey doesn't link to the right place. I have Jacksons at Woodbridge, so was checking it out.

Find a Grave images [7 October 2011]
I noticed that you have added photos from Find A Grave. Photos from Find A Grave are not public domain. Unless there is clear indication on the image page that you either took the photograph or have permission from the copyright owner to use it on WeRelate (including agreeing to WeRelate's licensing), it will need to be deleted. Please see our policy here.
The best way to include those types of images is to link to the memorial page. For example, on the page for Brutus Bourie, you could enter this in the text area: Photo of Brutus' gravestone on [http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=16677167 FindAGrave.com]. The link would look like this:

Hello Jennifer,
I do have permission from the FAG member who took the photo of the Bourie plot in Ft Wayne. I appreciate your help in how to link the photo but how do I state the permission that I have to WeRelate's satisfaction. Thanks again for your help--B.holmes 13:08, 6 October 2011 (EDT)
Jennifer, I have tried to correct all the contributions of mine which are now assigned to the above category. Do you check the talk page on that category? Am I correct on why it was formed? Thanks, Buddy--B.holmes 08:20, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

In 1995, several think tanks mounted vitrolic attacks on the FDA using expensive radio,
television and print ads. In an article in the Los Angeles
Times Myron Levin wrote:
Although the attacks do not mention tobacco, the industry is a major
beneficiary. By arguing that the FDA has neglected its basic mission,
the critics have made a case against the agency embarking on new
initiatives, such as tobacco control…
Some of the FDA attackers — including the Washington Legal
Foundation, Citizens for a Sound Economy and the Competitive
Enterprise Institute — have received financial support from tobacco
interests. And that has prompted industry foes to question if the
companies are just lucky bystanders or have played a behind-the-scenes
Officials of Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds, the two biggest tobacco
companies, declined to discuss corporate donations to such groups…
Tobacco companies "have increased their support of CEI but not to
fund any specific campaign, said spokesman Jason Taylor. "We make it
quite clear that support of CEI is support of the whole organization and
… our principles."
However, now that the tobacco companies' documents are publicly available we can
find out what was really going on.
Levin's inquiries while he was working on his story generated quite a
few concerned emails within Philip Morris. Executives were worried
about what Levin might find out and wanted to make sure that no-one
told him anything. For example:
Of course Marsha should not respond to Levin. We never had any leaks
with Decision Quest. … This is disturbing and may mean that we are
using too many outside consultants.
What was Philip Morris trying to hide?
Well, in December 1994, a Philip Morris executive came up with a plan
to deal with the FDA:
Over the past few weeks I have been thinking about how the tobacco
industry should deal with the threat of FDA regulation of
nicotine. Even with the favorable outcome of the November elections, I
doubt if it will be politically feasible to get Congress to direct the
FDA not to regulate tobacco.
A better strategy is to launch a broad-based attack on the FDA. …
A public relations and advertising campaign should be mounted to
publicize FDA's failings, and to generate public and congressional
sentiment for reform. …
From the moment the plan is launched, FDA will have its hands full
defending its record and its existing turf. FDA's efforts to claim new
jurisdiction, including jurisdiction over tobacco would be
curtailed. The tobacco industry could take a low — even
invisible — profile if it so desires…
Citizens for a Sound
was Philip Morris' major partner in the campaign. They presented a proposal to
Philip Morris that included TV and radio ads, production of an
"academic" study on the FDA's regulatory burden, and even astroturf
CSE would encourage our 250,000 grassroots members to … sign and
mail a pre-printed letter to the editor that has been personalized
with their local newspapers' names and addresses.
The proposed budget was over a million dollars for phases I and II and
an additional $2,827,925 for
phase III. Philip Morris paid CSE a mere one million dollars, so
it looks like only phases I and II were implemented.
More details on the behind-the-scenes efforts of the tobacco companies
are in this
Mother Jones article.

It's quite near the train station and very near to LA Comedie. The staff is very nice to me and change a larger room for me without adding money. But after I moved in, I regretted, because the heater in the room is not very welll functioned and since it's at the top stage, I felt cold all night. The bedding are very old and thin, it doesn't keep me warm..and what't worse, the bedding seems not clean and got a smell on it. However, the shared bathroom is small but clean. hope it can improve.

You want the name of the genre that matches with the above description, eh?
" Justice is subject to dispute; might is easily recognized and is not disputed. So we cannot give might to justice, because might has gainsaid justice, and has declared that it is she herself who is just. And thus, being unable to make what is just strong, we have made what is strong just."

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued a final rule, effective May 23 that applies the requirements of the August 2010 cranes and derricks in construction standard to demolition work and underground construction. Application of this rule will protect workers from hazards associated with hoisting equipment used during construction activities.
"It is important that construction workers in these sectors receive the same safety protections as other construction workers," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "Extending this rule to demolition and underground construction work will help save lives and prevent injuries."
This final rule applies the same crane rules to underground construction and demolition that are already being used by other construction sectors, and streamlines OSHA's standards by eliminating the separate cranes and derricks standard currently used for underground and demolition work. The rule also corrects errors made to the underground construction and demolition standards in the 2010 rulemaking.
In addition, OSHA has launched an initiative to protect temporary employees from workplace hazards.
An OSHA memorandum directs field inspectors to assess whether employers who use temporary workers are complying with their responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Inspectors will use a newly created code in their information system to denote when temporary workers are exposed to safety and health violations. Additionally, they will assess whether temporary workers received required training in a language and vocabulary they could understand.
In recent date released by the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries about workers killed on the job in 2011, fatal work injuries involving contractors accounted for 542 – or 12 percent – of the 4,693 fatal work injuries reported. Hispanic/Latino contractors accounted for 28 percent of fatal work injuries among contractors, well above their 16 percent share of the overall fatal work injury total for the year.

2. 4 new species of legless lizard identified
San Francisco Chronicle
Theodore Papenfuss, a research specialist at Berkeley's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, and colleague James Parham, of California State University, Fullerton, have identified four new and separate species of legless lizards in various California habitats. "These four new species must have once been abundant everywhere in the state," Dr. Papenfuss says, "but now it looks as though the unrestricted and growing spread of buildings everywhere has restricted their habitat severely -- more evidence of a serious threat to California's biodiversity."

3. Experimental Forests Could Lessen Toll of Wildfires
A ten-year Berkeley project to slow and contain forest fires could become a blueprint for fire management across California, this article reports. Developed in an experimental forest at the University of California at Berkeley's Sagehen Creek Field Station near Lake Tahoe, the scientists created pockets of thinner trees in areas where the fire risk is high, while still leaving pockets of dense growth for wildlife habitat. Forest ecology professor John Battles, one of the method's developers, says: "The idea is that you coordinate treatments to change fire behavior across a landscape a big landscape. ... By treating in certain spots, the fire never really gets rolling hot." Full Story

Los Angeles Times
The UC Regents have approved a $620,000 expenditure to seismically retrofit Blake House, a mansion previously used as the UC president's official residence. While some regents believe it would make more sense to sell the property, there are reasons this would not be ideal. The house was donated to UC in 1957 on the condition that sale funds could only be used to support UC Berkeley's environmental studies and landscape architecture programs. As a result, UC would not be able to buy a new house to serve as the president's residence. Other stories on this topic appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle and Sacramento Bee (AP). Full Story

Jeffrey Gundlach, founder of US asset manager DoubleLine Capital, is sticking to his strategy despite concerns the US Federal Reserve may be looking to cool its quantitative easing programme.
Bond purchases by the central bank, that currently amount to $85 billion a month, will not be stopped anytime soon, Los Angeles-based Gundlach told Citywire Global on Thursday.
'My views have not changed. I believe quantitative easing will continue not for months but years, and the policy will be altered only after it creates unpleasant outcomes,' said Gundlach.
Gundlach, who runs DoubleLine's $40 billion total return bond strategy, recently told Citywire Global he was buying longer term mortgage securities on the expectation interest rates will remain low.
The Federal Reserve's January minutes, released on Wednesday, sent stock prices down sharply as it highlighted a division between central bankers over the bond buying programme that is aimed to keep interest rates low in order to spur economic growth.
'I am not shocked at all by the Fed minutes. Ben Bernanke is in charge at the Fed. Other voices probing the merits of QE programmes are to be expected given the fully experimental nature of Mr Bernanke's policies,' said Gundlach.
Alongside US-domiciled strategies, Gundlach manages the Ucits-compliant Nordea 1 US Total Return Bond fund and the Alma-DoubleLine Core Plus Fixed Income fund.
An in-depth interview with Jeffrey Gundlach will feature in the upcoming March edition of Citywire Global magazine.

Lebanon PM urges Hizbullah to engage in dialogue
Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Saniora urged Hizbullah Thursday to engage in dialogue in order to resolve the political crisis. "Dialogue, accepting one another and drawing on our constitutional institutions are the only ways to resolve Lebanon's problems," said Saniora, in Jordan on a tour of Arab states, the AP reported.
Referring to the Hizbullah-led protests, Saniora said, "All these practices will lead to absolutely nothing." "The only solution is to reach out. There should be no divisions and no divorce between the Lebanese people," he told reporters.
Earlier, Hizbullah has threatened to block key roads across the country as part of its campaign to topple Saniora's government. Hizbullah politburo member Mahmoud Qammati told Al Arabiya television late Wednesday that the Hizbullah-led opposition was considering "blocking main roads across Lebanese territories."
Former Prime Minister Omar Karami also threatened that the opposition will "gradually escalate" its protest as of Saturday, January 20.
