And now, a group of Oakland A's fans you won't find at the Scripps National Spelling Bee anytime soon.
During Jeff Samardzija's first start with the Athletics on Sunday after being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, a group of fans made a sign that exemplified the difficulty of spelling the pitcher's surname.
After several attempts, the fans just settled with calling him by his nickname, "Shark."
Excellent Samardzija sign in Oakland. pic.twitter.com/OxpvikwDaN
— Paul Sporer (@sporer) July 6, 2014
You can't really blame the fans. It's a difficult name to spell. But you also have to wonder how many times Samardzija has been asked to repeat the spelling of his name when speaking with customer service representatives and how frustrating it must be when they constantly get it wrong.
When considering that, the sign might not be the best welcoming for a new ace.
That said, Samardzija was dominant in his first appearance with the A's, throwing seven innings and allowing just one run in Oakland's 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. It's going to take a lot more than that to get fans in Oakland to learn how to spell his name, though.

Log-structured what?
Log-structured filesystems write down all data in a continuous log-like format that is only appended to, never overwritten. The approach is said to reduce seek times, as well as minimizing the kind of data loss that occurs with conventional Linux filesystems.
For example, data loss occurs on ext3 filesystems when the system crashes during a write operation. When the system reboots, the journal notes that the write did not complete, and any partial data writes are lost.
The UFS filesystem used by Solaris provides a data "snapshot" feature that prevents such data loss, NTT Labs says, but filesystem operation must be suspended to use the feature, reducing performance. NILFS, in contrast, can "continuously and automatically [save] instantaneous states of the file system without interrupting service," NTT Labs says.
"Checkpoint" snapshot feature
The "instantaneous states" that NILFS continously saves can actually be mounted, read-only, at the same time that the actual filesystem is mounted read-write—a capability useful for data recovery after hardware failures and other system crashes.

Whether taking out the garbage or going for a jog, residents of the Lake Forest subdivision say they often spot bears in and around their neighborhood near the St. Johns River.
The bears aren't always perfect neighbors. They like to forage in garbage cans, for one thing.
But for the most part, Ira Schwartzberg said he and others enjoy the wildlife. They think of the animals as "our bears," he said.

Back in 2006 Panasonic released the largest plasma display ever made at 103″. On its own it weighed 473 pounds which increased to 707 pounds with the stand.
The screen was both too big, and too expensive at $71,000, for 99% of people to afford. But it must have sold because Panasonic has decided to give it an update and make it 3D capable.
The new model 103″ display now boasts 1080p, 3D, a 500 million-to-one contrast ratio, and all the connectors you could ever want or need (4x HDMI, 1x component, 1x S-video, 2x composite, 2x analog audio, 1x mini D-Sub. Power usage is sky high at 1,350 watts.
While you'd think selling a TV for $71,000 might be a struggle even for the best sales team, Panasonic has decided the update to support 3D deserves a price increase. So a $31,000 premium has been applied taking the price up to $102,000. That's almost a $1,000 an inch.
The Panasonic TH-P103MT2 will be available from November 18 in Japan. Good luck getting one shipped to the U.S. for a reasonable price.

Matthew's Opinion
While Avatar may look great on a screen this big, who in their right mind would pay over $100,000 for a 700 pound unit? You can get 50″ displays for a fraction of this price and still enjoy a great viewing experience. What could possibly warrant the extra size and expense associated with such a screen?
I think the days of very expensive large screen displays are numbered. The unveiling of a 19″ printed OLED TV at FPD International 2010 last week could be the start of a revolution in display manufacturing. If you can print a display, then going large shouldn't take the price up to ridiculous levels. In fact it should bring the prices down. Power consumption is also going to be significantly lower due to the use of OLED instead of plasma which is known to be a power hog.
Sales of this 103″ display are going to be limited, and I'd urge any company or individual considering one to think again. It's just not worth it. Go buy the ultimate in home theater kit and couple it with a 50″ display, then bank the remaining $80,000 you have for a rainy day.

Supreme Court suspends trial in Sohrabuddin killingSeptember 30th, 2008 - 6:48 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) The Supreme Court Tuesday halted the trial of Gujarat's suspended police officials for their alleged role in the controversial killing of Soharabuddin Sheikh, his wife and a friend in an staged gun battle in November 2005.While ordering an Ahmedabad sessions court to suspend the trial, a bench of Justice Tarun Chatterjee and Justice Aftab Alam also directed the Gujarat High court to confiscate the documents relating to the trial from the city court till further orders.
The bench suspended the trial following a day-long argument by Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam, who accused Gujarat Inspector General of Police Geetha Johri of shielding various other state police officers suspected of involvement in the killings.
Sheikh was killed in what the police termed a shootout, and maintained he was a terrorist. It was later found that he was only a petty criminal. His brother has accused the police of killing him in a staged shootout after pulling Sohrabuddin his wife and a friend out of a bus.

The Mare and Foal Wooden Cremation Urn is an individually crafted wood cremation urn. The scene of the mare with her foal is a wonderful tribute for the person who loved horses. Several types of exotic hardwoods are used to make the mare, foal, and stall in this 3-dimensional scene. Because each piece of wood differs in color and grain pattern, each urn is a unique work of art. The cremains are loaded through the bottom of the urn by removing several screws and the bottom portion of the urn. These urns are proudly made in the United States.
As with all urns but especially with bottom loading urns, cremains should be kept in a sealed plastic bag inside the urn.
Optional personalized engraving is available on the top of the urn. Please limit engraving to no more than 35 spaces per line. Check engraving information to be sure spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and dates are correct. Engraving will be done exactly as submitted.

For all the public outcry over hydraulic fracturing, for all breathless documentaries of people lighting faucets, for all the hyperbolic Internet screeds, and for all the talk of America's new energy revolution, the story of fracking is sadly mundane.
If you don't work in or around the oil business, it's difficult to appreciate the technological achievement that has led America from being the world's biggest oil importer to one of its biggest producers in just five years. Unlike previous booms, this one lacks the colorful characters with their gambler's bravado and their ostentatious shows of wealth.
That's the challenge that Russell Gold faced in writing his book, The Boom: How Fracking Ignited the American Energy Revolution and Changed the World, which will be released early next month. Gold focuses on George Mitchell, the "father of fracking" whose company spent two decades developing the technique. But Mitchell was no gambler. He was an environmentally conscious oilman who was leading the drive for sustainable development even as he was revolutionizing energy production. Known for his calm, friendly demeanor, Mitchell isn't the big hatted, longhorn-Caddy-driving character that past tales of the Oil Patch have taught us to look for.
Gold does his best to show all sides of Mitchell, including his frustration at losing lawsuits brought by residents of Wise County, Texas, over his early fracking efforts. Ironically, Gold later quotes Mitchell calling for stronger regulation to ensure independent producers frack wells properly.
Gold also introduces us to Aubrey McClendon, a history major turned wildcatter who used his wealth to buy an antique map collection and a professional basketball team. Gold, who covered McClendon's
Nevertheless, The Boom is an easy read, which is a compliment for a book that is about a process rather than a person. Gold peppers the history of fracking with interesting context, such as the first case in which a landowner's mineral rights were separated from the surface rights. Modern-day neighbors of fracking wells will sympathize with the hard lesson of Ottis Grimes, who went to court to fight, unsuccessfully, against having wells drilled so close to his house that the discharge splashed his windows. Gold also blends a personal story into the background of the book. His parents' decision to allow fracking on their farm in northern Pennsylvania serves as bookends to the meat of the story, and adds a nice personal touch to the narrative.
The Boom is full of interesting details that may surprise the average reader. Personally, I found it odd that Gold had to buy a pair of steel-toed boots before a research trip to North Dakota's Bakken Shale. As a longer time energy reporter I would have thought he had a well-worn pair in his closet already. In discussing the divisive nature of fracking, Gold examines not just the environmental concerns and the economic benefits, but he even notes that the spelling of the word itself invites controversy. Some industry stalwarts still insist that because it's a shortened form of the word "fracturing," the process should be spelled "fracing" rather than the phonetic "fracking" that has become the norm.
The Boom is a thorough primer, offering not just a step-by-step demonstration of how a well is fracked, but also how oil itself is formed and how fracking differs from conventional drilling. For that reason, whether you think fracking is our salvation or an agent of environmental destruction, The Boom is worth your time. Gold, whose reporting on energy won a Gerald Loeb Award and made him a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, is even-handed in his exploration of fracking's benefits and its costs.
Gold combines a fluid writing style with enough interesting details to carry all but the most general readers through the history of fracking. Despite his efforts, the story is lacking in tension, conflict and compelling characters – elements of a good narrative that keep readers in engaged. This isn't Gold's fault. Unfortunately, today's wildcatters are a sedate bunch compared with their bawdy brethren from years past.

In light of the Thanksgiving season I want to continue giving thanks. :) Here's what I am thankful for today:
It has really been a blessed 3.5 years at this school. I am so thankful for God's call on my life to follow His lead to LSU in August 2008. I am grateful that He's been merciful on me in my studies. I praise Him for helping me to learn a second language through this opportunity of an education. While I am sad that this season of life will come to a close in the next few months, I am forever thankful for how God has used this time of my life spent at LSU... using it to transform me more into His image. Praise the Lord.
Here are some of the many blessings that have come from being at LSU:
Freshmen friends: not a coincidence that we lived in three rooms RIGHT next to each other.
Mike the Tiger: el famoso tigre de la universidad... the only cat I love.
Mission trips: the work done for the kingdom and the bonds formed by the Spirit.
LSU has taught me:
how to be responsible in a home away from Mom.
The importance of Bible Study as a daily part of our lives, and the importance of family (groups).
How to nanny four beautiful girls that were such a blessing.
How to study. (this one took a little longer than some of the others)
How to get a passport expedited when you accidentally shipped it off to be renewed the week before the Mexico mission trip. Yeah...
How to love the nations deeply.
I've had fun at LSU, because:
Louisiana Saturday Nights in TIGER STADIUM. :)
Johnny's FINALLY made it's way to Baton Rouge.
Death valley and the fighting tigers
These are just a few ways the Lord has blessed me during my time at LSU. I give thanks and praise to Him for His mercy in these ways. A few other blessings include:
1. Crosspoint Baptist Church and my home group there.
2. Special friendships made in this phase of life that will never be forgotten (see past post).
3. Knowledgeable professors
4. Flexible jobs
5. Lunch dates
6. and so much more...
Ann Voskamp has written a book called "One Thousand Gifts." I read her blog regularly and just purchased her book so I can begin counting my blessings along with several other brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. It's amazing... as I am giving thanks in light of the holiday I am realizing how God has been so faithful in every way. I praise Him. May all glory and power be unto His name. Grace and peace.

News story
Tenders invited for the supply of animal health and technical support services
On 11 May APHA and Defra issued an Official Journal of the European Union notice inviting tenders for a range of animal health and technical support services.
Agricultural valuers, poultry catchers, drovers, herders, slaughtermen, marksmen, dart gun operators, carcase disposal and ADR transport services, general transport/haulage providers, incineration and rendering providers and others are invited to tender for the framework agreement.
It will be available for use across Great Britain by central government departments, agencies, devolved administrations, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) and local authorities.
We are asking for tenderers to state which Lots they can provide and in which geographical regions. We are interested in hearing from anyone who can supply any of the services in any of the regions to ensure that we have good coverage across Great Britain. Tenderers can also indicate that they can service all GB regions if appropriate.
The framework agreement may be used for responding to outbreaks of exotic notifiable animal disease, during other types of incidents or emergencies or during normal day-to-day business as the need arises.
The tender process requires prospective suppliers to answer a series of questions relating to their organisation. These responses will then be evaluated and following this, a range of successful providers will be added to a contingency framework agreement allowing services to be called off when required.
For companies interested in applying for this tender, more information is available on Defra's e-tendering system, "Bravo". You will need to click 'view current opportunities' and click on 'Animal Health and Technical Support Services Framework'. You will need to register on Bravo in order to access the full tender documentation and instructions.
There is a phone number on the website for any technical issues users may have with the Bravo system, for example, requesting logon details etc.
Please note that any clarification questions relating to the tender must be submitted online via the Bravo messaging system by midday on 17 June 2016. Potential tenderers will also have the opportunity to attend to face to face clarification question and answer sessions where they can ask the project team questions directly, these will be held as follows:
- London - 23 May 2016
- Scotland - 25 May 2016
- Wales - 8 June 2016
Clarification days are subject to change and will depend on interest to attend. Tenderers who wish to attend any of these sessions must check dates and provide confirmation of attendance via the Bravo messaging service.
The deadline for any questions relating to the tender and associated documentation is midday on 17 June 2016.
The deadline for final tender submissions is midday on 22 June 2016.
Last updated 12 May 2016 + show all updates
- The tender issue date was altered to 11 May and the date for the clarification meeting in Wales has changed to 8 June 2016.
- The publication date for the Invitation to Tender has been changed to 9 May 2016. As a result, the date for the London clarification question and answer session is now 23 May 2016.
- First published.

A Jewish leader has come out and attacked conservative Christians.
Reform Jewish leader blast religious right Rabbi Eric Yoffie made a Hitler comparison in his speech:
"We cannot forget that when Hitler came to power in 1933 one of the first things that he did was ban gay organizations."
While it would be wrong to suggest that today's Christian leaders are anywhere close to the Hitler or his murderous regime, Yoffie is correct to note a similar attitude toward homosexuals. His comparison, however, is inappropriate since Hitler's regime killed millions of people. But he did go on to make a good point:
"Yes, we can disagree about gay marriage. But there is no excuse for hateful rhetoric that fuels the hellfires of anti-gay bigotry."
Yes, it is time to turn down the rhetoric! Conservative Christian leaders are not Hitler by any stretch of the imagination, but the hateful—and thus un-Christ-like—comments made by many are wrong and hurtful.

M is for an upside-down W
In addition to flipping the script from 'M' to 'W,' I'm also abandoning my alphabetical posting project and henceforth all the Ear To The Sound posts will be whatever floats my boat with no concern for following a straightforward path. Making it to 'L' was a feat unto itself and I was this close to halfway through the alphabet which was decent for something I decided to do on a whim.
My abandonment of alphabetized posts isn't happening on a whim, but there's a touch of caprice to my selection for this post: I managed to catch Woodhands performance at the LO Pub last night (their second Winnipeg appearance in just over a week), and while I've enjoyed their album Heart Attack with its catchy keys and pulsing rhythms, after seeing this dynamic duo live I'm completely won over. Usually when I go to a show I'm a 'hands in my pockets, head-bobbing at most' kind of guy but Woodhands actually got me dancing.
According to multi-instrumentalist Dan Werb and drummer Paul Banwatt, that's exactly the response they're looking for:
"woodhands is dirty electronic music. we are interested in emotional, sweaty dance floors. we want to make you cry while you're having sex. and it'll be the best damn sex of your life. and you'll be dancing."
Alternating between playing key-tar and what looks like an oscilloscope (some sort of loop machine/synth), Werb wrings soul and sweat out of instruments that typically produce cold, sterile sounds. Where Kraftwerk used synths to create music that Deep Blue would add to its iPod, Woodhands are channeling Rick James to craft nooky-music for Droids. "Can't See Straight" could function as the soundtrack to C-3P0 picking up at a robot-gay-bar with Werb singing "why can't I/speak to you/I want to come home/I want to come home," voicing the droid's inner monologue. The freak-out at the 3 minute mark is clearly when he convinces the other robot to go home with him.
The interplay between Werb and Banwatt is part of what makes Heart Attack a success - Banwatt's drumming perfectly matches the programmed beats Werb employs and the pair trade vocals smoothly and to great effect, with Werb alternating between smooth croon and strangled screaming while Banwatt favours a direct delivery and some decent MC chops.
I couldn't find an mp3 to link to directly, but at Hype Machine, they've got a few tracks to listen to including the incredibly catchy "Dancer" and the Woodhands Myspace page is streaming pretty much the entire album.
As a bonus though, I managed to make a video of part of the Woodhands performance at the LO, and while it's a bit dark, the audio is fine and proved to be a very interesting cover of "California Love."
Thanks for reading, now start listening...

17 CFR Parts 240 and 242
[Release No. 34-50056; International Series Release No. 1279; File No. S7-26-04]
Regulation B
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.
ACTION: Proposed Rule; extension of comment period.
SUMMARY: On June 17, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") issued and requested comment on proposed Regulation B (69 FR 39682, June 30, 2004). Regulation B proposes a number of new exemptions for banks from the definition of the term "broker" under Section 3(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), as amended by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA"). The proposal would broaden a number of exemptions already available to banks, savings associations, and savings banks that effect transactions in securities. It also would define certain terms used in the GLBA. The Commission is extending the comment period on the Regulation B until September 1, 2004. This action will allow interested persons additional time to analyze the issues and prepare their comments.
DATES: Comments should be received on or before September 1, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
Electronic comments:
Paper comments:
All submissions should refer to File Number S7-26-04. This file number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used. To help us process and review your comments more efficiently, please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed.shtml). Comments are also available for public inspection and copying in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. All comments received will be posted without change; we do not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make available publicly.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Stamp Sundberg, Attorney Fellow, or Brice Prince, Special Counsel at (202) 942-0073, Office of the Chief Counsel, Division of Market Regulation, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-1001.
On June 17, 2004, the Commission requested comment on its proposed Regulation B concerning the securities activities of banks, savings associations, savings banks and credit unions. Proposed Regulation B would establish a number of new exemptions for banks from the definition of the term "broker" under Section 3(a)(4) of the Exchange Act, as amended by the GLBA. The proposal would broaden a number of exemptions already available to banks, savings associations, and savings banks that effect transactions in securities. It also would define certain terms used in the GLBA.
Several trade associations that represent banks, savings associations, and savings banks have requested that the Commission extend the public comment period for the proposed Regulation B for an additional 30-day period. The trade associations have indicated that such an extension would enable them and their members to better analyze and address the substantive, operational and legal issues associated with the proposed Regulation B.
In light of these requests, the Commission is providing the public additional time until September 1, 2004 to comment on the proposed Regulation B.
By the Commission.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Dated: July 22, 2004.

One of the most beautiful things about domesticated cats is that they have so much independence, in spite of all manner of human breeding and intervention. I understand wanting to keep cats safe after dark but I do not agree with keeping cats strictly indoors and the idea of walking a cat on a leash is absurd, unless it's to get the cat used to an area or if the cat requires supervision (e.g. if injured)."According to the Humane Society of the United States, the average life span of a healthy indoor cat is now 15-18 years. The life extension from former years is due in part to advances in veteninary medicine but primarily to the growing trend of keeping cats strictly indoors, confined to fenced-in areas or on a leash."
Every healthy cat should have a choice. The decision to go out or not should be theirs, not ours. If we make the choice for them it certainly shouldn't be tainted by the fear that they won't live as long. If you're scared for their safety, use a leash for a while and get them street wise. Ultimately, quality of life is the most important thing and to keep a cat inside against their will for no reason but your own is inherently wrong.

Often cited as Super Nintendo's last great hurrah, the original Yoshi's Island was a cracking twist on the Mario platforming template and a rare star outing for the plumber's trusty steed.
Brought back from the grave a couple of years ago on Nintendo's portable Resurrection Engine (known to the general public as GBA), as the confusingly named Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Yoshi's baby-ferrying jump-a-thon has weathered the years remarkably well.
It just goes to show that good game design, rather than technology, is what sticks in the memory banks like that hormone-firing first kiss.
Obviously Nintendo knows when it's on to a good thing and, rather than consign the squeaking dinosaur's childcare adventures to the dustbin, has decided to reanimate Yoshi's classic gameplay a second time (well, a third, technically) on DS. This is cause for good cheer - assuming it doesn't mess it all up.
Once again, Yoshi flutter-jumps through some artfully presented levels, carrying upon his permanently besaddled back an infant plumber. As before, if Yoshi gets hit by a bad guy, off flies the baby in a gravity-defying bubble, and a strict time limit allows the dinosaur to retrieve the errant wailer - if he doesn't, it's game over. This time around, however, there's more than just Mario to worry about.

Health Concern about Swim wear
There are a number of factors to consider when selecting sun protection swimwear. The most important factors affecting sun protection are skin coverage, fabric, and fit. Sun protective swimwear is typically used in a highly intense UV environment – at the beach or at the pool during summer. The best approach to protection from the sun in this environment is a combination of SPF swimwear, sunscreen, and shade. As a general rule, the greater skin coverage through uv protection swimwear, the less the area that needs to be protected by sunscreen that wears off and needs to be continually reapplied. UV protective swimwear that fully covers your shoulders and arms like swim shirts (and swim tights for legs) is the best choice for guaranteed all-day protection.
The fabric used to make sun protective swimwear is important for a number of reasons. The best uv protective swim wear fabrics will be rated UPF 50+ based on a complete life cycle test when the fabric is wet. Sun protective fabrics will typically lose some of their protection as they age, so garments should be tested for their end of life cycle protection value. Fabrics also provide less sun protection when wet. This is because water displaces air in the fabric and UV transmits better through water than air. A recent modification to the AATCC 183 protocol for testing spf swimwear calls for testing the fabric when wet – providing a better evaluation of the protection level when the garment is used in water as intended. So the best SPF swimwear will provide UPF 50+ protection when wet at the end of it's life cycle.
Fit is important for appearance, comfort and sun protection levels. For many people, their first thought is to choose tight fitting swim shirts – just like the original rash guards or rash shirts worn by surfers. However, when stretched the weave of a fabric will open and can allow significant amount of UV to pass through the fabric. For this reason, Samira's sun protective swimwear is designed to be worn close to the skin but not to be skin tight

Ambrose Treacy College: Middle School Precinct
Fulton Trotter Architects has recently completed three new buildings for Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) as part of Ambrose Treacy College's ongoing masterplan.
The masterplan is a response to the school's continued transition, from St Joseph's Nudgee Junior College – a junior school of years 4-7; to Ambrose Treacy College – a combined junior, middle and senior school of years 4-12.
Fulton Trotter Architects have designed the school's masterplan to create a cohesive campus, yet with a distinct quality for each of the junior, middle and senior school precincts.
Accommodating 18 new learning spaces and ancillary spaces for years 9-10, the latest stage includes three new buildings:
- Callan Building, containing three general learning areas.
- Kilkenny Building, including specialist science, industrial arts and music facilities.
- Westcourt Building, housing two temporary general learning areas, a library, canteen and covered lunch area, as well as career and counsellor support services.
Situated on a stunning 40-hectare campus at Indooroopilly overlooking the Brisbane River, the new buildings are designed to maximise the connection and views to the river, whilst taking advantage of natural light and ventilation.
The buildings are sensitively woven around a number of significant trees on site, embracing these as a focal point. As a consequence, special roof and gutter systems were designed to manage leaf litter and overcome a major challenge of the site.
The external facades of banded brickwork feature 'box' and the 'arc' forms, acknowledging the Edmund Rice Building – the school's original, heritage listed, modernist brick building. Designed in the 1930's by Fulton Trotter Architects' founding partner, Charles Fulton, the Edmund Rice Building remains the focal point of the college campus.
The brickwork is complemented by an unashamed use of colour to excite the exterior facades. Colour and texture is continued internally, to create a bold and playful learning environment. The palate matures with the transition of precincts, from the junior to middle to senior classrooms.
The project also includes significant civil works, including interim upgrades to adjacent intersections; 95 new car parking bays and a new student drop off.

Despite December Gains, Manufacturing Remains in a Jobs RecessionAlan Tonelson Follow |
Manufacturing's job-creation performance reversed course in December, with the 8,000 employment gain its best monthly figure since July's 9,000, and upward revisions for November and October. But these advances were not strong enough to lift the sector out of a technical jobs recession, as employment is still 2,000 below May levels. Moreover, manufacturing's December 30,000 year-on-year jobs increase was its weakest since July, 2013's 22,000. Largely as a result, manufacturing's share of total non-farm employment hit another new record low – 8.61 percent. Wages, moreover, fell on month for the first time in six months and their improvement – along with that of the sector's employment – remains a major laggard during the current economic recovery.
Here's my analysis of the latest monthly (December) manufacturing figures contained in this morning's employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
>December brought some much-needed good news on the manufacturing jobs front, as the sector enjoyed its best job-creation month (8,000) since July's 11,000. Revisions were positive as well, with November's initially reported 1,000 decline now judged to be a 2,000 increase, and October's 1,000 improvement upgraded again to 3,000.
>Nonetheless, these increases were not strong enough to lift manufacturing out of a technical jobs recession. Its employment levels are still down cumulatively by 2,000 over the last seven months.
>Manufacturing's 30,000 year-on-year December boost in employment, moreover, was the weakest since July, 2013's 22,000. In fact, between December, 2013 and December, 2014, manufacturing employment rose by 215,000.
>Largely as a result, manufacturing's total December employment of 12.331 million hit another all-time low as a share of total non-farm employment – 8.61 percent. When manufacturing hit its last employment nadir, in February and March, 2010, its share of total non-farm employment was 10.69 percent and 10.67 percent, respectively.
>Since manufacturing hit its 2010 employment bottom, the sector has regained 878,000 (38.29 percent) of the 2.293 million jobs it lost during the recession and its aftermath. By contrast, the private sector overall lost 8.801 million jobs from the recession's December, 2007 onset through its February, 2010 absolute employment low. Since then, it has increased net employment by 14.069 million.
>In fact, whereas total private sector employment is now 4.54 percent higher than at the recession's beginning, manufacturing employment is still 10.29 percent lower.
>Manufacturing remained a major wage laggard during the current economic recovery as well in December. During that month alone, its slight sequential pre-inflation wage decline (0.04 percent) equaled that of the overall private sector. But its year-on-year wage improvement of 2.49 percent – its best since March, 2014's 2.53 percent – still trailed the private sector's 2.52 percent.
>Moreover, by September, that good March, 2014 yearly gain had been cut nearly in half – to 1.35 percent. It's an open question whether the latest wage increases will last longer.
>Longer term, manufacturing's wage-laggard status is even clearer. Since the current economic recovery began, in mid-2009, its pre-inflation wages are up less (10.73 percent) than overall private sector wages (13.90 percent).
>Manufacturing's wage performance has lagged after adjusting for inflation as well. The latest Labor Department figures are from November, and showed that in real terms, manufacturing wages were unchanged from October levels. Real private sector wages in November only inched up on month – by 0.09 percent. But they outperformed manufacturing.
>Year-on-year, November real wages were up by 1.61 percent for manufacturing, and by 1.83 percent for the private sector.
>And since the recovery began in mid-2009, real manufacturing wages are down 0.19 percent, whereas inflation-adjusted pay in the private sector is up 2.71 percent.

Liberals Loathing of the Right
Excerpt: Walter Cronkite, when asked whether he agreed that liberals dominated the major news media, told me, "Yes – if by liberal you mean open-minded."Are liberals more "open-minded" than conservatives? To find out, a biennial survey conducted by the University of Michigan's American National Election Studies uses a scale from 0 to 100 – 0 meaning shoot-the-person-on-sight hatred, and 100 meaning find-a-place-for-him-on-Mount-Rushmore adoration. The 2004 survey then asked 1,200 adults to define themselves politically.

Better communications LEAD TO BEST PRACTICES
To facilitate the continous improvement of our safety culture, each Nucor facility employs a dedicated safety coordinator or safety director. We also employ a number of best practices, including the Safety Incident Reporting Network (SIRN).
SIRN is a program used by all Nucor divisions to share information on incidents, best practices, and corrective actions. When an incident occurs, a report is entered into the SIRN system. This allows all Nucor divisions to know what happened and to share insights as to how it can be prevented in the future. In a very literal sense, this network is our "safety net".

I have yet to get a good picture of myself wearing these, but I've made two pair of HotPatterns Weekender Utility Cargo Pants now, and really like them. I definitely plan to make more.
Things I like:
- The cut-on waistband reduces bulk and stiffness around the waist, which is both comfortable and flattering
- The princess seams made it easy to adjust to get a good fit for my shape, plus they add visually interesting vertical lines
- All the pockets! So many pockets! I particularly like the front hip pockets, which function as both pocket and beltloop.
Things I liked less:
- The rise is super high on these. Like, I have a generous badonkadonk and a swayback, and I'm always adding to the back rise of trousers, but these I actually shortened a bit. (On the other hand, it's easier to draw a line on your muslin where you want to cut it off, than it is to add fabric and hope it's enough)
- The beltloops are a little short, and the waist facing is a little narrow, so I can't wear as wide a belt as I'd like. Next time around, I'll add about a half inch of width to the facing and length to the beltloops.
Things to watch out for in construction:
- The cut-on waistband changes the method for inserting and finishing the fly. If you follow the instructions, as I did the second time, it comes out looking super professional. Do follow the instructions! Do not, as I did the first time, think, "that's really odd. why would she want me to do that? I'm not going to do that," and go your own way. Details:
- Size range
- 6 – 26 roughly corresponding to ready-to-wear. A 26 is B52″/W44″/H54″
- What size did you make?
- I started with a 26, and customized quite a bit.
- What are your measurements, height, and body type?
- I'm a 5'3″ rectangle I guess; my hips and bust aren't that much bigger than my waist. 50B/47W/54H.
- What adjustments did you make and how long did they take?
- I lowered the waist a bit in back and significantly in front.
- Added a couple inches to the front waist by angling out the princess seams; subtracted a couple inches from the back waist by angling them in
- Replaced the crotch shape with the custom shape I've come to prefer
- This didn't take me all that long because I've adjusted other HotPatterns trousers before and I knew what I was doing.
- What fabric did you use?
- The first pair (black) is a cotton/lycra twill; the second (blue) is a cotton/tencel blend.
- What was the construction process like? Did the instructions make sense to you?
- I've complained about the sparseness of HotPatterns instructions before, but they've come a long way and the instructions on this pattern were super straightforward and clear, with helpful illustrations where I most needed them – once I got around to reading them.
- Construction was straighforward, albeit a bit finicky with all that topstitching and so many pockets to make sure are the same on both sides
- How do you like the pattern's fit? Do you think the design works well for your particular body shape?
- I really like how I got the fit adjusted to my shape, the princess seams really helped match the garment's contour to my body's contour. Because of this easy customizability, I would recommend this design for pretty much any shape.
- There are some who might say it's not flattering to put bulky cargo pockets on my big fat butt and thighs, and to them I say, I like pockets and also:
- Will you make the pattern again? If so, what fit or design changes will you make?
- I definitely plan to make it again, and again. I want to try dressing it up, by using a wool blend suiting and leaving off the pockets. I want to badass it up by using pleather. To start with.
Pattern Rating
Size Range (1-5) – 3 – from my perspective as a plus-size sewist, a 26 isn't very big
Instructions (1-5) – 4.5 – clear and simple, but probably not suitable for the absolute beginner
Construction Process (1-5) – 5 – These went together exactly as expected and described.
Final Fit (1-5) – 5 – The princess seams helped me to get a really nice fit.
Overall Rating (1-5) – 4 – A good trouser, easily adaptable for many figure types, and quite fashionable right now.

What has been added Integrated Settings: to reach it, press menu, then preferences you can adjust lots of stuff here Homescreen Settings homescreen count default screen enable/disable landscape (if you enable landscape it will take effect after next boot) number of rows uninstall button on homescreen icon dock count size of indicator (small/big) enable/disable dock background app labels app labels in dock enable/disable indicator auto hide App Drawer number of apps per page number of app columns sort order (normal/alphabetical, alphabetical will be forced after reboot/changing from normal to alphabetical) enable/disable app backdrops enable/disable 3D effect for backdrops Badge Counter enable/disable unread gmail counter (specify accounts to show counter for) enable/disable unread sms counter or Samsung Counter System Settings stay in RAM (enabled by default) Themes first theme by philippsp: 'Black-Glas'SGS II' , by Rausio, Token Theme install a theme (this moves a .zip from /sdcard/ into the theme dir on /sdcard/.TW4Themes/ Choose a theme. How theming currently works: you simply zip all the icons. You can theme the following: Code: app icons: give the .png the name packageName.pngapp backdrops: give the .png the name tile_packageName.pngrandom backdrops: name it tileXX.png where XX goes from 0 to 15 (both inclusive)app icons only for dock: dock_packageName.pnghome icon: dock_home.pngapps icon: dock_apps.pngdock background: dock.pngand more (menus, page indicator etc.) You can combine themes (e.g. a full theme and then apply just a dock theme), "Choose Theme" will just overwrite the old icons with supplied icons in the .zip. If you select "none", theming dir will be cleared. Now I wanna see some great themes. Btw: Swiftwork is working on a great tw4Manager, which will probably include the possibility to view&download themes directly on the device.. Example of a dock theme can be downloaded here EXTRA Stuff Resizing for all widgets enabled (long press widget and then drop it without moving) Scrolling widgets are supported (currently not recommended to use though, lags when scrolling) Issues Power Widget stays gray on samsung firmwares (it does not on cm7 for example), after reboot it will be displayed normally. Some/most Samsung widgets won't work without modification with this modded launcher. If you want them back, check this link (thanks to scheichuwe) To fix other widgets, grab the attached key, in AndroidManifest.xml set android:sharedUserId="tw4.fr4gg0r" (if not there add it) and resign it with the downloaded key (password is touchwiz, alias is fr4gg0r) more details here. Works with Every device with armv7 processor and froyo or higher Installation Install the tw4.zip in recovery (also contains ShareApp.apk; this will remove the old twlauncher, so make sure you have another launcher as backup installed!) (if zip does not install the app, /system is not mounted rw, then push the app manually to /system/app/ [remove TouchWiz30Launcher.* if present!] or install the launcher as normal app. This will have some restrictions: for example it cannot uninstall apps (not really tested; only possible if you don't already have a twlauncher installed!) Developers Swiftwork (mainly settings layout, themes, tw4manager) me, Fr4gg0r (the rest ) this project took/takes a lot of time, since I am studying and don't have much money, donations are appreciated. If you have questions/bug reports feel free to come on irc (freenode) to #cmsgs Don't take the .apk and theme it, instead make a theme.zip Changelog: v1.4.3: crash when no share app is installed fixed, this time also tw4.zip updated v1.4.2: bugfixes, option to show numbers on page indicators, download all samsung widgets here (thx scheichuwe) v1.4.1: sms counter crash fixed v1.4: theming fix, overshoot on homescreen & appdrawer, performance optimizations, send email on crash v1.3: fix for froyo, a permission was missing v1.2: theming updated! more possibilities! v1.1: -fc on startup fixed Download counts: v1.4.2: ~3700 v1.3: ~2400 v1.2: ~290 v1.1: ~1600 Important: If tw4.zip fails (with error 6), try this one Attached FilesShareApp.apk (29.1 KB, 4632 views)tw4key.zip (1.3 KB, 4553 views)tw4.zip (2.17 MB, 6095 views)TW4Launcher.apk (2.05 MB, 6378 views)

<3 Ella Kate's Beautiful Birth <3
As Ella Kate's due drew nearer and nearer, I grew more and more exhausted from false labor and general discomfort. On Monday, September 19th, I saw Dr. Moore for a regular OB visit. She determined that I was 4 centimeters dilated and 60% effaced. Baby Ella was in position and ready for birth. Now if only my body would go into labor. Dr. Moore and I discussed the success rates for stripping membranes as a form of sort of inducing labor. There really isn't any research to prove that it helps, but being as close to my due date as I was, the risks were minimal as well. So, she stripped my membranes. Some people say this is very painful, but honestly, for me, it wasn't any more uncomfortable than a regular exam.
Contractions came more frequently and were much more like labor contractions than Braxton Hicks contractions after she did the procedure, but still nothing regular progressed. On Tuesday night, I lost my mucous plug. I just knew that I'd go into labor soon. I had plenty of contractions that evening and went to sleep ready to be awoken by contractions that meant head to the hospital, but that was a no go.
On Wednesday, I decided I was giving up. She'd come when she wanted, but if I kept thinking every day was the day, I was going to wear myself out and get very frustrated. Around 7 p.m., I begin having contractions that were more frequent and uncomfortable, but nothing alarming. We ate supper, sent Emmitt to bed, and watched TV. For most of the evening, my contractions were about 8 minutes apart, but before bed, they slowed to about 15 minutes apart. So, I went to sleep around 10:30 knowing it was another night of false labor.
Nearly every hour I was waking up from a contraction, but they weren't coming regularly enough that I couldn't go back to sleep. A little after a.m., I awoke with a few contractions and decided to stay up a while and time them. The first 2 were 8 minutes apart, then 7 minutes apart. Wes was sleeping upstairs, and I was on the couch so at 3:00 a.m. I called his cell phone. He immediately asked, "Is it time?" I said no, but that I would like for him to come downstairs with me for a little while. I proceeded to have contractions 6 minutes apart, then 5 minutes apart, then 2 that were 4 minutes apart. At this point, I said that I thought it was time.
I told him to get himself ready fast and get Emmitt in the truck. I grabbed everything that I saw lying around that we needed to take and started putting in the truck. I also called Mom and Dad to let them know that we were leaving for the hospital. The contractions were still coming regularly and about every 4 minutes. I was starting to get anxious and excited. After 3 weeks of false labor, it finally was the real thing!!!
Wes got Emmitt, all of his pacis, stuffed animals, and a blanket and loaded him into the carseat (we were praying he would ride well since I was in active labor). Emmitt asked, "Mama, Daddy taking Emmitt?" Wes told him that of course we were taking him; we wouldn't leave him. We were taking him to see Grandma-Pawpaw and we were going to get Baby Ella. As we pulled out of the driveway at 3:30 a.m., Emmitt was counting to 10, which made me laugh because I felt like he was coaching for me.
I called the hospital to let them know that we were on our way in so they could pull my chart and be ready for us. I told Wes after I called that I should have let him do it. I didn't think they believed me that I was in labor. We got to the hospital around 4:00 a.m. It would have taken longer, but Wes drove 65-70 mph with the flashers on all the way to Owensboro. I wasn't hurting bad enough for him to do this, but we were afraid that things would pick up any minute.
We walked into labor and delivery and were taken to triage. The nurse said that they would monitor me for a brief period to see if I was actually in labor. I wanted to laugh at this; I was in labor! They monitored Ella's heart rate and my contractions. They did admitting paperwork. At one point the nurse needed me to sign paperwork and was going to wait until a contraction was over. I told her it was okay. I may as well have something to do to keep my mind off of things. The nurse who had answered the phone said that she wasn't sure I was actually in labor because I was so calm and collected on the phone, which was exactly what I suspected.
At 4:30 a.m., the nurse checked me to see if I had made any progress during this early stage of labor. I was 6 centimeters already. Finally, at 5:05 a.m., they got us into a labor and delivery room. The nurse asked if I wanted a wheelchair, but I said I would prefer to walk to keep things moving. I labored in sitting up in the bed for a while, and Wes and I watched a little CMT. Mom got there, and we talked while I was laboring. Ella's heart rate began to decelerate after each contraction. The nurse had me lie on my left side to see if that would help. She also asked if she could check me again. She said that often when the baby is descending into the birth canal, the cord can become compressed and cause the decelerations. When she checked me at 5:50 a.m., she asked if the baby's head had been down at my last appointment. I told her it had. She said that because my amniotic sac was bulging, she couldn't tell exactly what was going on. She called for another nurse (Mandy) to check me. Mandy said that baby was head down, and that I was 8 centimeters.
The whole process up to this point was completely different than Emmitt's labor. Until this point, I was able to talk between contractions. I was getting a decent break between them. I think I was even talking during contractions. Since was amniotic sac was still intact, it was nothing like Emmitt's labor. With him, I was contracting what seemed to be constantly, but my water had been broken from 4 centimeters on.
Mom asked the nurse what time Dr. Moore usually came in. When the nurse said 7:30, Wes and I laughed. We informed the nurse that with Emmitt, I went from 8 centimeters to delivered in about 50 minutes. She then called Dr. Moore to let her know my progress and remind her of my quick first delivery. Dr. Moore checked in with us at 6:30 a.m.
At 6:40 a.m., I asked if it was possible for them to bring the squatting bar in for me to use laboring and because I wanted to try to use it to push. At 6:50 a.m., I conveyed that I was feeling ready to push, so Wes told the nurse. They brought in all the supplies for delivery (6:52), and Dr. Moore checked me again (6:55). She said I still had a little cervix left.
The next hour—transition—was definitely the hardest for me.
7:00 a.m.- Wes was standing arm's length away from me with his arm on the squatting bar. I said, "Get out of my face." He didn't move, so I repeated myself, "I said, 'get out of my face.'"
7:05 a.m.- Wes asked if I needed anything. I replied, "No, shut up!"
7:15 a.m.- Wes and Mom were across the room whispering, and I said, "Ya'll stop talking."
7:25 a.m.- Nurse checked me again, and I still had a lip of my cervix left to go.
7:30 a.m.- With the back of the bed sitting straight up, I turned backwards on the bed on my knees to try to labor in a more comfortable position.
7:31 a.m.- Wes asked if I needed anything, and I said, "No, leave me alone."
7:45 a.m.- I drank a drink of a Pepsi that Mom snuck into labor and delivery.
7:46 a.m.- I said, "I am done."
Sometime shortly after all of that, I told them all that I felt like pushing. I got up to a squatting position to lean on the squatting bar. The nurse said that Dr. Moore said it was okay for me to start pushing. I don't know how long, I pushed except that it was less than 20 minutes. Wes thinks it was around 5 minutes. I had asked in my birth plan that no one count during the pushing, and it was so nice that they didn't. I really liked being able to push as I felt like I needed to. As she was crowning, it hurt so bad to push, but it also hurt so bad not to push that I just kept pushing. In this process, Dr. Moore came in and told the nurses, "Get me some gloves." She rushed to the foot of the bed and dropped one glove in the process. Since she didn't have time to go get another one herself, she told the nurse to get her another one. The nurse helped her get it on. Wes said she was just squatting at the foot of the bed.
At 8:05 a.m., my water broke while pushing. Almost instantly, Ella's head was delivered. Dr. Moore told me to push again to get her shoulders out. That part was much easier. At 8:07 a.m., Ellen Kate Meserve was born into the world. It was amazing looking down seeing my beautiful baby girl that I had just given life to. No more than a second old, there she was. I was in love. Wes and the nurse helped me get off my feet and into a seated position, and Dr. Moore put her in my arms, cord still attached. Wes cut the cord (8:08). Wes said he finally got to touch her at 8:12 a.m.
I had asked not to be given Pitocin to help with the placenta delivery, so I didn't know how long to expect before it would be delivered. While I don't know the time, I know it was painless and only a few minutes later. Even though I had birth upright which is supposed to reduce the likelihood of tearing, I did have second degree tearing. Dr. Moore gave local anesthesia and repaired the tear. After I had held her for a while, Ella was administered her eye ointment and Vitamin K shot. We refused the Hepatitis B shot for her at that point. Ella was weighed and measured in our room, 8 pounds 2 ounces and 19.5 inches long. We asked that Ella not be bathed in the nursery; we would bathe her on our own later. Ella took right to nursing as soon as she was back in my arms.
After the birth, I overheard one of the nurses say, "That was awesome!" I tend to agree. I felt so aware, so in tune with what was happening with my body and my baby. It was amazing to me how the love just swept over me as soon as I saw Little Ella Kate.

With so many San Diego SEO Companies, who do you call?
There is one aspect to SEO that separates the top San Diego SEO companies from the rest, and that one word is RESULTS. Specifically, San Diego SEO results. The companies you might consider for San Diego SEO may have a fabulous website... they may have a smooth-talking salesperson... they may have lots of money to put into advertising... they may go on and on about algorithms and tactics and strategies and so on, but you know what? None of that matters when it comes to SEO.

The absolute bottom line — the true measure of being one of the best San Diego SEO companies will always come down to one simple thing: again... RESULTS. And moreover, the results these companies show must be simple and straightforward. They must easily demonstrate a simple-to-understand "before and after" scenario. In other words, a "proof of SEO expertise" report must clearly show that a particular company was not getting organic SEO rankings before they started working with them, and after a few months, that same company had achieved key rankings for several phrases — ideally numerous phrases for them to be the one of the top San Diego SEO companies that you might consider hiring.
OK. You've done the legwork and you've identified a few top San Diego SEO companies that you want to look into deeper to consider hiring for your company. Now what? Along with results, you will want to hire a vendor who will provide timely, friendly service. You want a company who has an honest interest in helping you succeed. EUREKA! Your search has ended!

Labelling Images 2
Budget €2-10 EUR / time
BILBERRY ACTIVITY Bilberry is an innovative startup, with the ambition to cut by 80% the amount of herbicide used in the world. Our products, 3 times patented, are based on the latest computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies and on embedded systems we develop. In large crops or on railways, weeds are scattered through the surface: however, herbicides are sprayed on the whole area. This generates health risks for the farmers and the end consumers, has huge costs for the farmers and harms the environment. In order to reduce the amount of herbicide sprayed, we have developed cameras that are embedded on the field sprayers and which scan the field, identify weeds and automatically control the spraying, everything in real time. Thus, herbicides are only sprayed where it's needed.
JOB DESCRIPTION We are developing computer vision algorithms so that our cameras can recognize what is a weed and what is the crop. In order to do that, we need to manually label images and what is on these images. This is the work we would like you to do. You will work directly on Bilberry web platform, and thus you need a high speed internet connection to download images quickly.
You will have to label an undetermined number of images for this job. It is not limited in time, you can work on it on a full-time base. You will be paid on an hourly-basis so please indicate your hourly rate.
Further details can be given once a Non Disclosure Agreement is signed.

Last week I saw (I'm sure everyone saw) the Cathy Horyn piece in the New York Times styling gay men for their wedding day. The clothes ran the gamut from totally traditional to fashion forward and really got me to thinking. While I'm not sure that I love all of the outfits, I do the unmatchiness of the styling and the contrasting color stories. The article also made me think of these suits that I saved on my phone from the Style.com iPhone app. I admired them so much that I don't remember who designed them or what season they were from. I gave a valiant search, but to no avail.
Anywho. So charming. I know they skew a bit casual, but I think these suits would be super dapper paired together for a wedding.

In power since January 2006, the leader of the Canadian Conservative party, Stephen Harper, promised to break with the previous governments' "domineering" style of governance and to put into practice a new type of "open federalism." Specifically, this approach involved correcting the fiscal imbalance between Ottawa and the provinces, taking measures to recognize Quebec's specificity, and limiting the federal government's recourse to an alleged spending power. This article briefly surveys the foundations of Canadian politics and the years when the Liberal party was in power, between 1993 and 2006, to assess the measures adopted by the Harper government, particularly with respect to the spending power. This power is not attributed in the constitution nor is it founded on clear jurisprudence, but Ottawa still claims and invokes it. Despite ther promises, the Conservatives have failed to offer a satisfactory formula for limiting its usage. So, Canada remains driven by the centralising process that has prevailed since the start of the 1980's.
