On May 3rd Forget the Times was scheduled to play at the Shop with Triangle & Rhino, Relationships, and Skinless Boneless. The two people in charge were busy or couldn't get keys or something however, and the show was moved to Roup House despite it being a weeknight.
First up was Relationships who played an exceptionally good set, sounding a lot harder and cool than ever previously. Their slower song with the lyrics "I'm not yr friend, and I never wanted to be" is maybe their best and it ruled here. Early on they played really fast and tough with lots of noise and kept it up later to some extent, tough they did get "twinkly" or whatever. The vocals were cool throughout, rough and not completely nailed to the melody. Relationships was really good and standing like inches away from them due to the cramped quarters of the Roup basement made it even better.
Triangle & Rhino played second. Jake Lexso had hurt his hand falling from a ladder when roofing and couldn't play guitar though, so this was a set of synths and drums only and the only set like this that they would ever play live. Despite the lack of guitar the stuff they played sounded a lot like their normal set only slower and all electronics. The vocals were muffled and Jake sounded like a psychopath singing through a ballgag. The sound was maybe too compressed or something, but it was pretty great.
When Triangle & Rhino was finishing up a guy from Forget the Times was at the door. The cops had come and asked us to shut down the show due to noise complaints; it was a weeknight. Unfortunately the other two bands, Forget the Times and Skinless Boneless never got to play. It made sense for Skinless Boneless, who always seem to get shut down by authority figures, but Forget the Times was on tour and I never got to see them. Hopefully they'll come back and maybe not play the Shop.


Having cake smashed into your face is a cute, fun tradition at weddings, but one girl probably didn't see the cute side when her brother smashed an entire birthday cake into hers.
You might have been fooled by the title of this article into thinking that this brother and sister were perhaps little kids who didn't know any better, but they are in fact fully grown people whose antics have provided the world with some excellent video content.
The birthday girl sat at the table waiting patiently for her celebratory cake, and her brother made sure to give her a birthday surprise she won't be forgetting any time soon.
The video was taken in Nuevo León, Mexico, where the guy appeared with his sister's cake and put on a nice show for his unsuspecting victim as he swayed to the music that was playing, a smile plastered on his face.
In retrospect, the smile was probably a smug indicator of the chaos he was about to inflict.
The birthday girl no doubt just wanted to blow out her candles and enjoy a slice of the tasty looking chocolate cake, but she barely even got chance to get near it before it was smashed, with considerable force, into her face.
It was a direct hit, and though it was just sponge, it actually looked like a pretty painful experience.
The person behind the camera exclaimed their shock at the situation before coming out with the laughter that the scene admittedly deserved, but the brother barely broke his stride as he made the strike and carried on swaying his way around the room.
The girl made a feeble attempt to throw some of the sponge back at her brother, but with her sight obstructed by chocolate and cream, and with her birthday spirit no doubt shattered, her efforts were unsuccessful.
I think the experience is going to cause a lot of future sibling rivalry and potentially some very messy birthday celebrations for years to come.
The video was shared online where it gained comments from shocked viewers, with one pointing out that not only did the brother throw the cake, but he also threw the cake stand. I think someone might have been jealous of his sister getting all the attention.
Brutal, the cake stand hit her in her face.
A prank with some anger behind it.
If it were me I'd probably just be mad that I couldn't actually eat any of the cake without scraping it off my face. I hope the brother had a backup at hand ready to apologise to the girl with.
Having a cake smashed in your face is certainly a unique birthday surprise – and I'm sure a lot of evil brothers are now plotting to recreate the scene with their siblings at the first opportunity.


The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an engineering tour de force which, true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance.
Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless, remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world.
Superb image quality: entirely new 21.1 Megapixel Full-Frame Canon CMOS Sensor, Highlight Tone Priority, and 14-bit A/D conversions for outstanding color tones.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates Canon's newest CMOS sensor, which delivers approximately 21.1 effective megapixels (5,632 x 3,750 pixels). The recording area of the sensor is 36 x 24mm, which is equivalent to the full-frame size of the 35mm film format. The tremendous pixel count delivers high-resolution images of exacting precision, with Photoshop™ file sizes over 60MB for outstanding quality at large print sizes and post-processing cropping flexibility. Despite the higher pixel density, Canon CMOS sensor technology ensures exceptionally low noise and the widest usable ISO range* (from 50 to 3200, using ISO range extension).
Activated via a Custom Function on the EOS-1Ds Mark III, the unique Highlight Tone Priority feature takes full advantage of the camera's 14-bit per channel digital conversion to provide smoother gradations from the grays to the highlights and preserve greater detail in image highlight areas — a perennial problem for digital photographers, especially those who work in bright sunlight or contrasty studio lighting. Highlight Tone Priority expands the available range of capture in the highlights, yet it exacts no penalties in either shadow detail or other aspects of image capture.
Whereas most other digital cameras use 12-bit A/D (analog-to-digital) converters, the EOS-1Ds Mark III employs superior 14-bit per channel converters to process the output of the imaging sensor. In each color channel, this means there are 16,384 distinct brightness steps from the darkest to brightest tone (vs. 4,096 previously). This ensures smoother tonal transitions and more natural gradations. RAW images are recorded at the full 14 bit, and once processed will preserve the entire range of tones when opened in Photoshop's 16-bit color space.
With another great feature, Picture Style technology, photographers can recreate characteristics of their favorite films. Color, saturation, sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the saved image. In addition to six preset Picture Style settings (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome), users can create three additional settings for their particular photographic style.
Picture Style settings are applied directly to JPEG images, giving tremendous flexibility to shooters who prefer the ease of JPEG files. If RAW images are processed in Canon's Digital Photo Professional software (v. 3.2 or higher) or RAW Image Task software, the versatile Picture Style settings can be modified or completely changed in the computer, without affecting the original file.
Powerful In-Camera Processing, Times Two!
Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processor for excellent image quality and processing speed.
Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS-1Ds Mark III's Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in parallel to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver the speed and power needed to combine 21.1 million pixels and 5 frames per second. The latest-generation DIGIC III Image Processor works in concert with Canon's CMOS sensor to achieve even higher levels of performance. The entire electronic system is totally re-designed, giving the camera its incredible combination of speed and image quality. Digital noise is significantly reduced in shadow areas, and color reproduction is superior.
Live View Function capabilities, displayed on the large 3.0-inch LCD monitor.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features a sophisticated Live View Function, which makes the LCD monitor a real-time finder. When the Live View Function is enabled, the reflex mirror is locked up and the shutter opens. The image output from the CMOS sensor will be displayed in real time on the LCD monitor with 100 percent coverage. A selectable portion of the image can be magnified by 5x or 10x to aid in precise manual focusing. Focus, exposure check, composing, and shooting can all be accomplished in this mode. There is also a grid overlay option, perfect for architectural photography.
Live View Function is convenient for tripod-mounted shooting, macro work, precise shooting with Canon's Tilt-Shift lenses, and many other situations in which it is a physical strain to keep the eye at the viewfinder. The image can also be displayed on a TV monitor, which is ideal for showing photographs, as they are being composed, to clients and portrait subjects.
At 3.0 inches diagonal, the EOS-1Ds Mark III's LCD monitor is exceptionally large. The big, clear image is ideal for Live View Function. It also makes it easier than ever to confirm capture, check memory card contents, confirm shooting parameters, and access menu options.
Using Canon EOS Utility software, photographers can check and adjust focus and composition in real time on their personal computers, whether in the studio or on location. The camera can even be fired remotely from the computer. Connection between the camera and computer can be done via USB cable or, with the optional WFT-E2A Wireless Transmitter, via wireless LAN or an Ethernet connection.
Outstanding durability thanks to a shutter durability-tested to 300,000 cycles, dust- and water-resistant design, and EOS Integrated Cleaning System.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features an improved heavy-duty shutter that has been durability tested to 300,000 cycles—the highest ever in an SLR.* The camera thus provides long service life and inspires the all-important confidence for the professional that comes from the knowledge that the shutter will perform on demand.
Extensive weatherproofing ensures superior reliability, even when shooting in harsh environments. Rubber gaskets are used at nearly every joint and seam—including around the battery compartment cover, memory card door, and flash shoe—to keep out moisture and dust.
Photographers who must change lenses in dusty environments will find the advanced Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System a tremendous time saver. Dust that settles on the low-pass filter is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor collects the loosened dust. Dust particles can also be automatically removed via software. By shooting a plain white subject, the photographer can acquire dust position data called "Dust Delete Data" that is transmitted along with each subsequent image (whether JPEG or RAW). Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) v.3.2 or higher software can then be used to manually or automatically erase the dust spots, before the image ever gets to Photoshop™ or a similar image-editing program.
Dust that has been missed by the Integrated Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit can also be erased with software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.2 or higher. The EOS-1Ds Mark III's imaging sensor is able to single out the dust particles on its surface, then plots out their location coordinates within the image. This data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW, and can be either manually or automatically erased in Canon's DPP software. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image, perfect for printing or archiving.
Up to 5 fps, burst rate up to 15 consecutive RAW images or 45 full-resolution JPEGs, and compatible with newest UDMA high-speed CF cards.
The new 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor generates a tremendous volume of data that must be processed by the camera. Thanks to unparalleled Canon high-speed data management technologies—including the use of dual DIGIC III processor chips—the EOS-1Ds Mark III delivers full-resolution performance without sacrificing all-important shooting speed or camera responsiveness. Maximum continuous shooting is 5 fps, and up to 45 consecutive full-resolution JPEG or 15 RAW images can be captured in a single continuous burst (at shooting speeds up to the full 5 fps).
The EOS-1Ds Mark III supports the latest, faster UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) CF memory cards. UDMA-compliant CF cards offer twice the data transfer rate of conventional cards, further enhancing the shooting and post-shooting performance of the EOS-1Ds Mark III.
Fast and precise AF system, with 19 high-precision, cross-type AF points with f/2.8 or faster lenses and 26 additional "Assist Points."
The EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates new Canon AF technologies that bring about improvement in key performance areas. The extraordinary 45-point high-density area AF system provides not only the industry's largest continuous AF coverage area, but also the greatest range of control over focusing point selection. The focusing point can be selected automatically by the camera (based on high-speed microcomputer analysis of image content), or users can manually select any of the 19 high precision cross-type AF points, which can be complemented by 26 additional Assist Points for fast, accurate focusing.
A separate processing unit devoted solely to autofocus calculation is a key in the EOS-1Ds Mark III's superb AF performance. The One-Shot AF mode is ideal for more static subjects. The camera rapidly selects the optimum focusing point, and the subject is instantly brought into focus even if it is off-center. The AI Servo AF mode is excellent for moving subjects. Aided by a the camera's outstanding new AF sensor and powerful processing abilities, it precisely tracks subject movement, even when shooting continuously at 5 fps. Even with erratic or rapid subject movement, the photographer can concentrate solely on image composition.
New Custom Functions aid the photographer in choosing default focusing points, as well as changing the size of a manually-selected AF point, making this not only the fastest, but also the most customizable AF system on the planet.
Compatible with wireless file transmitter WFT-E2A, extensive remote control accessories, and 15 different interchangeable Ec-series focus screens.
A significant redesign of Canon's earlier wireless transmitter, the new WFT-E2A is much more compact and provides a broader range of useful professional functions. It integrates elegantly with the EOS-1Ds Mark III, is powered by the camera body, and is as durable and weather-resistant as the camera itself. Not only can the camera's files be sent to a compatible computer in three different wireless modes, but you can even remote-control the camera, wirelessly, from your computer.
The WFT-E2A can be easily set up to operate in wireless LAN (802.11b or g) environments. A new, more efficient built-in antenna enables wireless communication with host computers or access points up to 492 ft./150m)* away. Where wireless access is limited, the WFT-E2A can be used for conventional (wired) Ethernet connection.
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed host capability enables the use of external storage media, such as a USB hard drive, for memory card backup, quick copying of files, or just vastly expanded shooting capacity. Images shot on the camera can be recorded directly to the hard drive. The WFT-E2A can also communicate with various third-party GPS devices connected via USB. Location coordinates, precise Universal Time Code, and altitude can be sent to the camera and added to each image's original shooting data.
* With a large, high-performance antenna attached to the wireless LAN access point. With a large, high-performance external antenna connected to a wireless LAN access point receiver. Wireless distance range is dependent upon environmental conditions and other radio interference.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III is equipped with the Laser Matte Ec-C IV focusing screen, which provides superior optical performance. Background blur appears more natural, and graininess and flare are reduced. At the same time, the finder is brighter, especially at the edges and corners. As with all EOS-1 Series SLRs, the EOS-1Ds Mark III gives a photographer the widest choice of interchangeable focusing screens. Currently, there are 15 different Ec-series screens.
Of course the EOS-1Ds Mark III is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies, such as aspherical optics and fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L Series lenses. A new addition to the L Series is the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens. With a 114° angle of view that can be captured with the EOS-1Ds Mark III's full-frame sensor. Unlike a fisheye lens, this stunning new ultra-wide lens is totally corrected for linear distortion, and offers even better sharpness and contrast than its predecessor, Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS-1Ds Mark III.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. The camera's new 63-zone evaluative metering sensor is also used for flash metering — giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, Custom Function II-4-1 allows shifting flash metering so that all 63 zones of the sensor are used equally to calculate flash exposures.
Canon's Speedlite 580EX II is perfectly suited to the EOS-1Ds Mark III. It has improved reliability of communications through the direct contacts, has a metal flash "foot," and is dust- and water-resistant as with the EOS-1Ds Mark III. Other new features include a PC socket on the flash unit, and an external metering sensor for non-TTL auto flash if desired. With the EOS-1Ds Mark III, you can set most flash settings directly from the camera's menus. It has the same power as the previous Speedlite 580EX (maximum guide number of 190 ft./58m at ISO 100), and with its built-in wide panel, can be used with lenses as wide as 14mm on Canon's full-frame cameras. It includes an AF-assist Beam, which works in conjunction with the EOS-1Ds Mark III's focusing system, and automatically sends color temperature information to the camera when the flash fires, for more accurate white balance rendition with flash photography.
Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 15.0) The EOS-1D Mark III comes bundled with an updated Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer. These include Canon's ZoomBrowser EX for Windows® (Version 5.8), ImageBrower for Macintosh® OS X (Version 5.8), Digital Photo Professional (Version 3.2), Canon's EOS Utility (Version 2.0), RAW Image Task (Version 2.6), PhotoStitch, and PTP TWAIN Driver. Each application is designed to perfect captured images and streamline the digital workflow. ZoomBrowser EX v. 5.8 and Digital Photo Professional v. 3.0 for Windows are compatible with the new Windows Vista operating system, too.
Digital Photo Professional (Version 3.2) is an image processing program that enables high-speed RAW image processing, high-speed previewing for real-time image adjustment and support for sRGB, Adobe RGB and Wide Gamut RGB color spaces. Because it's CMS (Color Management System) compatible, Digital Photo Professional allows for easy image layout and printing in Adobe RGB in conjunction with Easy-PhotoPrint and PictBridge printers. It also features the Dust Delete Data Detection tool for cleaner images.
EOS Utility (Version 2.0) for Macintosh or Windows handles the connection between the camera and computer, whenever they're connected via USB. It allows remote controlled shooting from the computer, handles downloading of images from the camera to the computer, and allows seamless linking to either Canon's ZoomBrowser/ImageBrowser or Digital Photo Professional software once images have been copied to the hard drive. Furthermore, it's used to upload settings back into a USB-connected camera.
ZoomBrowser EX (Version 5.8) for Windows and ImageBrowser (Version 5.8) for Mac OS X are the easy, user-friendly options for viewing and editing of JPEG and even RAW image files. Both allow viewing of numerous types of images including finished TIFF and BMP files. Both also have a variety of search options for finding images, allow re-naming of single images or batches of files, and offer a variety of options for printing without using a separate image-editing program.
This software is an integrated component of ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) or ImageBrowser (Mac). It allows processing of RAW images from EOS cameras, including the new EOS-1D Mark III, with a variety of adjustment possibilities. These options, as well as the overall color, contrast and "look" of RAW Image Task, closely mimic the characteristics of Canon's in-camera JPEG processing.

Boggarapu, Pradeep and Thangavelu, S (2017) ON THE CHAOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE DUNKL HEAT SEMIGROUP ON WEIGHTED L-p SPACES. In: ISRAEL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS, 217 (1). pp. 57-92.
In this paper we study the chaotic behavior of the heat semigroup generated by the Dunkl-Laplacian on weighted L-p spaces. In the case of the heat semigroup associated to the standard Laplacian we obtain a complete picture on the spaces L-p(R-n, (phi(i rho)(x))(2)dx) where phi(i rho) is the Euclidean spherical function. The behavior is very similar to the case of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces studied by Pramanik and Sarkar.

Researchers Struggle to Assess Responses to Ocean Acidification
Posted on SCIENCE News This Week: 05 October 2012 — By David Malakoff

MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA—Unlike many areas of global change, there's no argument that rising CO2 emissions will make the world's oceans more acidic. Average pH in surface waters is now 8.1—a 30% increase in acidity since the start of the industrial revolution—and forecasters say it could drop to 7.8 by 2100 if carbon emissions continue unabated. But how fisheries and other marine life will respond is far from clear.
Building a better crystal ball to gauge such effects emerged as a central challenge facing scientists attending the Third International Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World here last week. "Looking realistically into the future is hard," says Jean-Pierre Gattuso, a biogeochemist at the French National Center for Scientific Research in Villefranche-sur-mer. "But we have to try if we want to understand what acidification will mean."
The meeting was a coming-out party of sorts for scientists interested in the biological implications of the chemical changes occurring as the oceans absorb huge and growing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Just 8 years ago, an inaugural symposium on the topic in Paris drew only 125 researchers from 20 nations; this year, more than 550 scientists from 40 nations showed up. The field is getting "much bigger and more competitive," Gattuso says.
Acidification researchers are also shifting their focus. To date, many experiments have involved simply plopping sea creatures into laboratory tanks full of acidified water for a few days or months to see how they respond. Many species suffer, researchers reported. Fish and shellfish larvae exposed to more acidic waters, for example, often fail to thrive: They don't grow as big or live as long as those born in more alkaline waters. But some species show substantial resilience, reported biologist Sam Dupont of the University of Gothenburg, Kristineberg, in Sweden. After he used acidic water to completely dissolve the shells of developing sea urchins, for instance, the urchins were able to regrow them and live normally once they were returned to normal seawater.
Such limited studies, however, "can't really tell you whether a species has the capacity to adapt to acidification, or how pH changes affect a larger ecosystem," says marine scientist Gretchen Hofmann of the University of California, Santa Barbara.

One approach to leaping those limitations is to go back to the future, by looking for times in the fossil record when ocean ecosystems experienced similarly dramatic carbon dioxide–driven changes. One popular candidate, known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), occurred 55 million years ago during rapid global warming (Science, 18 June 2010, p. 1500). Increasingly corrosive bottom waters appear to have helped drive many bottom-dwelling species extinct during the PETM, reported paleontologist Paul Bown of University College London. But what happened at the ocean's surface is less clear. The fossil record suggests that many species of phytoplankton—the tiny plants at the base of the marine food chain—also disappeared but were replaced by other species, with little change in overall diversity.
But such coarse measures can't tell you how ancient acidification might have affected reproduction or growth patterns in these marine communities, Bown says. To get that more detailed view, Bown and his colleagues have been analyzing some exquisitely preserved fossils of PETM phytoplankton called coccolithophores, which surround themselves with shieldlike plates of shell. By studying some closely related living species, the researchers found that they could estimate ancient coccolith growth and reproduction patterns by painstakingly counting the plates on individual fossils. (The number increases as the organisms grow.) So far, preliminary studies haven't found deformed shells or other dramatic signs of lower pH, but Bown cautions against taking that as a sign that modern acidification won't be a problem. Change in the PETM moved "much, much slower than today," he says.
To evaluate acidification's potential impact on modern ecosystems, researchers are also seeking out rare places where the future has already arrived, such as natural sea-floor seeps where bubbling carbon dioxide gas dramatically lowers the pH of surrounding seawater. Studies of seeps off Papua New Guinea have already shown that tropical coral reefs in acidified waters have fewer species and slower growth rates than nearby reefs (Science, 13 July, p. 146).
Similar changes are apparent on rocky bottoms at seeps in the more temperate Mediterranean waters, reported marine biologist Kristy Kroeker of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Off the coast of Italy, she's been studying shallow-water seeps nestled beneath a towering Medieval castle. There, small, fast-growing invertebrates and weedy filamentous algae are displacing an array of larger, flashier shell-building species. That could be bad news for tourism if acidifying waters spark similar changes elsewhere, she says: "People are going to be much less likely to pay to go see a bunch of fleshy seaweeds."
A third emerging approach is to study the evolutionary implications of acidification by pursuing longer and larger experiments. Several teams, for instance, have launched years-long "rapid evolution" experiments to evaluate how organisms adapt to acidified conditions. In one, a team led by David Hutchins of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles spent nearly 4 years raising about 600 generations of an important marine nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Trichodesmium, in either current or more acidic conditions. Bacteria in the acidified tanks greatly stepped up their nitrogen-fixing activity over time, he reported. And, surprisingly, they didn't revert back to lower activity when moved back into the less acidic tanks, "suggesting true adaptive changes," he says. Genetic studies backed up that idea, he reported: Acidification could have "major implications for the future of the marine nitrogen cycle" by altering bacterial populations.
Other researchers are taking to the field to find wild populations that have already adapted to acidic waters, which occur naturally in some parts of the ocean. "Basically, space is substituted for time, and we just go see if Mother Nature has already created populations that are fine-tuned," says Hofmann, who is helping organize one such collaboration, the Ocean Margin Ecosystems Group for Acidification Studies (OMEGAS). It is studying sea urchins and mussels along North America's West Coast, where waters tend to get more acidic along a south-to-north gradient from California to Canada. As a result of natural upwelling, the waters off Oregon "are like it is already 2100," says Hofmann. She reported preliminary studies showing that sea urchin larvae there tolerate acidic water better than their California cousins. That early picture from OMEGAS's crystal ball "is good news," Hofmann says, because it suggests that the thorny urchins have "the resilience and genetic variation sufficient to tolerate" global acidification. Still, she says, that's an experiment she'd rather not run.

Those looking to take a traditional approach to cooking a delicious meal in the outdoors are encouraged to sign up for an upcoming program at Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area of Gering.
Amanda Filipi, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission outdoor education specialist, will present the "Lovin' Dutch Oven" program Saturday, Nov. 1, at 9 a.m. at the Nature Center. The deadline to register is Friday, Oct. 24.
Filipi will demonstrate the age-old process of using Dutch ovens, cast iron pots with tight lids, to make meals and desserts. The method, which is believed to date back to the early 1700s in Holland, became a staple in the United States as European settlers moved westward and is increasingly becoming a favorite tool of campground cooks, Filipi said.
After helping prep and cook the meal, attendees will dine on the fruits of their labor. The cost is only $5 per person to cover the purchase of ingredients. Participants are encouraged to point out any special dietary needs upon registration. Sign up by calling the Nature Center at 308-436-3777.
Vehicles entering Wildcat Hills SRA are required to have a valid park entry permit, available from vendors throughout the state or online at outdoornebraska.org.

Bobby Womack - 1944 - 2014
Bobby Womack has been part of my life since I was 13 - when I first heard "I Can Understand It". I began to search for his other work and found the goldmine of UA/Minit sides that made his name. It was only later that I found that this was his second coming. He had been on the gospel circuit since his early teens with his brothers as the Valentinos, he had written "It's All Over Now" which I knew only from the Stones' cover. He had been a protege of the great Sam Cooke. He fell from public grace upon marrying Cooke's widow but later restarted his career from the ground up with sessions on guitar and writing for the likes of Aretha, Wilson Picket, and Sly Stone etc. His live shows brought him back - with versions of standards such as "Fly Me To The Moon". That brought me up to date. I was lucky enough to see him at Hammersmith in '76 performing those great songs "Harry Hippie" a tribute to his wayward brother, "That's The Way I Feel About Cha" and "Woman's Gotta Have It". This resurrection coincided with the world taking soul for more than the 3 minute pleading singles and his "Communicaton" and "Understanding" albums are outstanding examples of the development of soul following the 60's heyday.
He dabbled with drugs and his addiction pulled him down with later albums producing good works but always falling short (for me) of those classics. He got it together and cut two blinding albums in "The Poet" and the "Poet 2" these again showed that he sits alongside Stevie, Marvin, even in my opinion Otis. His secret was songs - he then touched a nerve by packaging and passionate delivery. This is the essence of what soul is to me. In 1987 with "Only Survivor" album again bringing him to the fore he toured and I returned to Hammersmith to see him in his element with an audience engaged in all that had gone before and what was current. At that gig he invited Paul Young onto the stage to perform his then hit version of Hall & Oates "Everytime You Go Away" - Bobby's parts blew him off the stage as the master showed his powers, substance over form on a song that he should have recorded.
My first conversations with my wife were about music, Bobby was heavily featured on the tapes I made her and remain the soundtrack to much of my life. I return to those songs constantly.
I'm wasn't overwhelmed with the Damon Albarn sponsored Gorillaz collaboration or the "Bravest Man" album that brought him back to public consciousness - but that has more to do with what I'm comparing it with (and perhaps that era can never be repeated) but i'm grateful he was able to have that last hurrah - The great thing for me was that I finally saw my hero getting the high profile that he deserved - Glastonbury, Later with Jools, awards, press and above all deserved recognition. I saw him one last time in 2011 at the Jazz Cafe where he performed three nights in a venue holding about 400. This was just before the "Bravest Man" album surfaced and he whilst frail he could still belt out a tune. He would repeat his "old soul" set at Glastonbury in 2013 to much acclaim. He continued on the festival circuit and up until two weeks ago was still active performing at Bonnaroo.
There will be many more detailed (and better) obituaries written within the next few days. For me he has gone but I have him as a continuing companion in the sides that will stay with me always. He was known as the Preacher, The Last Soul Man and the Poet. He was all that and more to me.

Digital Vs Analogue - It's A Personal Thing, Isn't It?
Just read a great article from vox.com on the issue of the supposed Superiority of Vinyl. Let's face it you get something different from a CD or a download. It's a personal mix between hi-fidelity, convenience in acquiring and in playing and possibly your first experience of a particular track or album.
My listening time is now 80% on the move. my i-pod allows me to review my collection on the tube each morning and select whatever I want to hear. I know it sounds different to my vinyl or even CD copies but then Hi-Fi, docking station, computer speakers, Car systems, headphones, ear buds all add to the differences.
I happen to have a lot of CDs - some of which were bought as a first experience of, say, Amy Winehouse - to me CD is her natural home. Then again hearing the CD version of the Four Tops "Standing in the Shadows of Love" for the first time was a revelation as I'd always been used to the vinyl version on my mum's radiogram playing my older sisters scratched 45rpm. Which do i prefer - not sure?! Some tracks lose their "sound" if heard digitally. At the beginning of the CD era a number of classical releases had to be edited as exterior noises from the original concert halls could be heard under the new format, whereas they were previously hidden behind all that surface noise previously. But we got used to that didn't we. Radio broadcasts narrowed the sound - Berry Gordy ordered his engineers to play up the beat and the higher end percussion to meet the restrictions of radio play. And so the argument can rattle on...
Of course vinyl is the cool item to own. But then again isn't it all about the music itself?

At the Piatchek Law Firm, our attorneys assist clients every day with a host of legal issues that come up during the entire life cycle of a business, from before the day you open until the day you sell your business or close your doors. These issues can include starting a business, the ongoing operation of a business, business deals and transactions, buying or selling a business, and of course, business litigation.
Each business entity has a set of unique qualities that make it special and different from other forms of organization. Our attorneys can discuss their similarities and differences with you and make recommendations based on your situation. Although your choice of business entity depends upon many factors, most decisions are based on one or more of the following three concerns: liability, taxes, and funding.
Liability refers to the extent to which an owner is responsible for the debts and charges against their business organization. If an owner has "personal liability," he or she is fully responsible. Thus, creditors may reach all personal funds of the owner even if the funds are not invested in or part of the business. If an owner has "limited liability," his or her responsibility is limited to the funds he or she invested in the organization. To select the appropriate business entity for your needs, conduct an evaluation of the risks and possible liabilities your business may incur during its operation. Both corporations and LLCs can provide limited liability to owners, whereas proprietorships and partnerships do not.
All income of a sole proprietorship is taxed on the sole proprietor's own personal income tax return at the appropriate individual tax rates.
A partnership must prepare an income tax return, but the partnership pays no income taxes itself. The partnership income tax return acts as a conduit of income to the individual partners. The partnership apportions its income (or loss) among the partners and limited partners. Each partner or limited partner then includes his or her portion of the income (or loss) on his or her personal income tax return.
If a limited liability company complies with technical and complex income tax rules, the income earned by the limited liability company is taxed as the income from a partnership. However, an LLC may be taxed as an "s-corporation," which is a favorable option for many LLCs.
Since a corporation is considered a separate person, the corporation prepares its own income tax return and pays income tax on its income. Any distribution of income as dividends to the stockholders is also taxed on a stockholder's individual personal income tax return. The income tax rate for the corporation may be very different from the individual tax rate. A subchapter s-corporation is treated similarly for income tax purposes. The income taxation of a non-profit corporation is separate and very complicated.
When obtaining funds from third parties, a sole proprietorship is generally limited to borrowing money (typically from a bank), and the proprietor must borrow it under his or her own credit and personally guarantee any such loan.
A partnership can seek additional investments through loans, or it can solicit additional partners (or limited liability partners), who may contribute additional funds. It can also borrow funds as a proprietorship would.
A corporation has more opportunities for seeking investment. It can borrow money, seek additional investors to purchase either common or preferred stock, or issue other corporate securities (such as corporate bonds). A corporation may also be able to take advantage of corporate credit, which is not associated with a stockholder's social security number or personal credit report.
A limited liability company can obtain additional funds like a partnership, but it also may be able to get corporate credit, similar to what is possible for a corporation. It is not uncommon for "members" (owners) of an LLC to have to personally guarantee loans or credit that is extended to the LLC. However, this is not always the case, and there is opportunity for a member to take loans or credit in the name of the LLC only.
Because of the very technical and complex rules concerning business organizations, you should always consult an attorney for advice and assistance before selecting an entity. Please feel free to call us at 417-882-5858 for a consultation, so that we can meet and discuss your options.

LACERS to hire CenterSquare for US REIT account
The Los Angeles City Employees' Retirement System (LACERS) is hiring CenterSquare Investment Management for a domestic REITs strategy.
The US pension fund has allocated $65m (€55.9m) to the manager after a selection process that began early last year.
Thomas Moutes, general manager for the pension fund, said the company was selected for its organisational ability and strong management team, as well as a "well-articulated investment strategy" consistent with LACERS's objectives.
The decision to hire the new REIT manager was made on advice from the pension fund's general consultant, Wilshire Associates.
LACERS received 31 responses from a mixture of US and global strategies, with CenterSquare, Brookfield Investment Management and Duff & Phelps Investment Management Company all finalists.
The planned hiring of CenterSquare, which declined to comment, will be for a long active strategy.
The proposed benchmark for the account is the FTSE NAREIT All Equity index, with a three-year contract starting in April.
LACERS is also planning to commit up to $35m into Morgan Stanley's open-ended Prime Property Fund.
The fund is the second to approve a commitment to the vehicle of late, following a $40m investment from the Illinois State Board of Investment in December last year.
Prime Property, which has $12.9bn in total gross real estate assets, has a current deposit queue of $1.3bn, expected to be called by the end of this year.
If Morgan Stanley calls capital for the fund at a slower pace, LACERS's commitment may not be drawn down until 2016.
The fund is targeting a 7-9% net return, focusing on the US office, apartment, industrial and retail sectors, with some exposure to storage facilities.
Leverage of the fund is 22%.

Sylvester Stallone And Dolly Parton Probably Pretend This Movie Never Happened
By Tanya | Jun 27, 2017
There are a lot of great movies out there. You've got your controversial movies, your amazing classics that have stood the test of time, and of course the ones that are so bad they might just be great. Those ones are really the best of all right? Well, if you agree do we ever have a treat for you.
In 1984, two stars were given the roles that would give them the opportunity of a lifetime. Sure, most people would like to be remembered for being in one of the best movies of all time, but someone has to be in one of the worst. Sylvester Stallone is known for his tough-guy characters like Rocky Balboa and Rambo, but what he doesn't want you to remember is that he once played a cabbie-turned-country star in a movie with Dolly Parton.
That's right. Dolly Parton starred alongside Sylvester Stallone in a movie called Rhinestone and it had one of the most bizarre plots imaginable. I mean, it's so bizarre that it could be deemed offensive and disgusting, but somehow they made this movie anyways.
Punch Nerds
Have you ever seen it? It's probably one of the strangest movies you will ever experience.
Dolly Parton plays a country singer who is locked into a contract performing at a crappy bar that she doesn't want to work at anymore.
When she tries to get out of the contract, the sleazy bar owner only will let her leave if she can train a new country star in a couple of weeks. If she fails, she has to stay for another five years AND sleep with her boss. Because that isn't just horribly illegal...
Here Be Spoilers
The bar owner finds a contestant who will play in this terrible, gross, horrific game who just happens to be cab driver played by Sylvester Stallone.
So Dolly brings Sylvester home to Tennessee because that is where you learn how to make country music.
PunchNerds
Seriously, I am not making this up. Click to the next page to see how the whole thing goes down.
Obviously, Sylvester and Dolly realize that their anger and frustrations with each other are all rooted in their attractions, so they essentially fall in love within two weeks.
Dolly teaches Sylvester all about country music before he has to perform at the Rhinestone. It doesn't start great.
When he gets to the Rhinestone bar, he gets booed and yelled at. But never fear, he kicks it up a notch and the crowd is won over by his ridiculously goofy song, excessive fringe and it helps that he brings Dolly up on stage.
Dolly gets out of her contract and will no longer be forced to work in a place where she is being harassed daily.
So I guess good for her, but also that guy needs to be arrested.
You have to watch Sylvester Stallone's big moment on stage as a super-cool country singer, it will honestly change how you feel about him as an actor and a human.
Even Sylvester Stallone wishes you haven't heard of this movie. Do you think you would want to sit through it?
Share with the friends you want to force to watch it with you!

Macaulay Culkin Clears Up Some Confusion About The 'Home Alone' Recreation
By Tanya a year ago
When that amazing new Google Assistant ad dropped yesterday starring Macaulay Culkin recreating all of the iconic scenes from the 1990 classic Home Alone, People absolutely lost their minds. But here's the thing, you watch it once and you're like, "Oh wow, that's hilarious!" But if you watch it a second time, you'll see that they really went all out to recreate it shot for shot. Honestly, it's almost creepy how well they did.

Macaulay Culkin Is Back As Kevin From 'Home Alone' And It's Actually Amazing
It's Christmas time, and you know what that means! It's time to watch a family abandon their son in their home and not even call anyone to go take care of him while he fends off burglars and makes an enormous mess of their house! That's right, every year we all gather around the TV and watch Home Alone for the millionth time, enjoying the hilarious antics that young Kevin McCallister gets into. Macaulay Culkin's portrayal of the character is what made the movie work, well, that and the fact that the 'Wet Bandits' were pretty funny. Culkin made a
A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The New Aladdin Is Here And At Least One Of Our Wishes Was Granted
We've been waiting patiently, okay mostly patiently, since Disney announced that Aladdin was being remade. The cartoon remains one of the most iconic movies of all time, and the fact that they were going to try and bring it to life with real humans instead of the animated versions was kind of concerning. We saw the first trailer a while ago, but the only character we actually saw up close was Aladdin himself. We didn't see how the Genie looked, or Jasmine, or any of the other characters. But now, Entertainment Weekly has given us all the first look at

Well, whether it's the best idea or not, the powers that be have decided to bring one of the most iconic video game characters to the big screen once again. Sonic the Hedgehog has his very own movie coming out next November with Ben Schwartz voicing him, but now that the first poster is here, everyone is talking.

Hi folks, I'm excited to tell you my Opal library that brings Knockout.js to the Ruby front-end is here! http://polished-rb.github.io/knockout-rb/ I know React is the new hotness and there's such great work being done around that, but I've been a fan of Knockout for a long time and I feel it's important to be able to make it available to Opal devs. This is also the first of several components of a larger project I'm working on called Polished. Eventually, Polished will provide a number of loosely-coupled components that comprise a front-end framework that plugs super easily into any standard Rails project. For most of it, I'm simply extracting some patterns and shortcuts I've used in my own Rails/Opal projects, so it's not just theoretical. :) Anyway, check out (star!) Polished: Knockout and let me know what you think!
has anyone taken a look at lighttable and what it would take to add opal support?

You Might Be Getting a New Harry Potter Movie Soon
Could the new J. K. Rowling play be coming to the big screen?
The eighth official Harry Potter story The Cursed Child (opens in new tab) is set to open as a play in London's West End at the end of this month, but rumors now suggest that studio bosses are considering turning it into a movie.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set 19 years after the end of The Deathly Hallows and focuses on a grown-up Harry, Ron, and Hermione and their children. It's split into two parts, and preview performances have already played
And Warner Bros has now registered a trademark for the title, which would include merchandise and motion pictures.
It's certainly no guarantee that this will definitely get a film adaptation — the plan could be to show a filmed version of the play, for example — as the National Theatre has done recently — though it's certainly not out of the question.
In the meantime, spin-off movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (opens in new tab) is heading to cinemas this November.
It's planned as a trilogy and is set in New York in the 1920s, so this should scratch the itch for Potterphiles until there's more news.

During pregnancy and the postpartum period, many women feel a wide range of overwhelming emotions such as anticipation, happiness, excitement, confusion, pleasure, satisfaction, as well as worry, frustration, or sadness/guilt. They are more prone to mental problems during the postpartum period. Maternity blues, puerperal psychosis, and postnatal depression are the three most common postpartum mental illnesses. The spectrum of postpartum illnesses is broad. It encompasses a wide spectrum of feelings, ranging from mild agitation, irritability, and weepiness to severe agitation, delusions, disorientation, and delirium. On one end of spectrum lies postpartum blues, which is most common and remits on its own, while on the other end lies postpartum psychosis which in severe form is a medical emergency and needs urgent hospitalisation, postpartum depression is moderately common.
During the first week after delivery, about 25–40 percent of mothers experience mood lability and mild depression known as postpartum blues or postpartum dysphoria, about 10–15 percent suffer from a depressive disorder, and one or two out of every thousand women experience psychosis during the infant's first year. Traditionally, these conditions were referred to as "postpartum illnesses."
Peripartum mood disturbances may be classified according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-V) into 3 subtypes:[1][2]
postpartum blues
postpartum psychosis
During the postpartum period there is also increased susceptibility to anxiety disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder.

Node brings building services integration into the 21st century
The design of a building requires synthesis of several elements – from the structure that holds it up to the material finishes that you touch and see. However, building services – security, fire prevention and ventilation among others – have rarely been seen as an integral part of the design process and considered primarily as regulatory requirements rather than design elements.
Node is a fully coordinated family of devices, interfaces, tracks, channels and networks that can harmonise building services with the overall aesthetic of the project. Designed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Price Industries and Artemide, each element shares the same visual characteristics – size, shape and materials, while reducing technical conflicts and multiple control systems.
Mike Holland, Head of Industrial Design, Foster + Partners, said: "Node emerged from a desire to create an integrated system for building services that offers a single flexible solution, simplifying specification, installation and operation while operating on a common platform that allows for future change."
Devices such as sprinklers, speakers, occupancy sensors, cameras and lights are designed as a family of circular nodes, which then can be surface mounted or flush with the ceiling, with or without a trim. The multiple combinations allow designers to achieve the desired aesthetic, with interfaces that are specifically designed to adapt to different ceiling types.
The system can be adapted to existing structures as well as new buildings. Tracks allow lighting, cameras and other services to be suspended without the need to interfere with the existing structure, while channels integrate different services into a single spine that incorporates smart cable management and HVAC diffusers. The channels also have interchangeable side profiles that can be used with a range of ceiling types.
The Node network consists of a standardised wiring, power and communication system, which is controlled by a single automated platform that makes it easier to operate – lighting, HVAC and other systems can be adjusted from one intuitive wall interface. The system's devices are intelligent and designed to be configured on a flexible zonal basis, enabling easy set-up and allowing zones to be added or removed without the need to rewire the system.
"The versatility of Node embraces ideas of wellbeing and sustainability – maximising the efficiency of the building and giving it the ability to change over time. Looking towards the future, we believe buildings will be far more responsive and data driven, and Node is a step towards creating a dynamic and smart built environment," added Holland.

One more night's sleep until the Jets are back in the NHL - officially.
Fifteen years and now only that one sleep is all that is between Winnipeg and seeing their Jets legitimately compete in the greatets hockey league in the world.
The Jets take to the ice in their first regular season game since the 1995-96 season at MTS Centre Sunday at 4 o'clock to a raucous crowd of 15,004.
Up front, the Jets are likely to go with the combination of Bryan Little centering Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler. It is likely also that Alexander Burmistrov will center the second line with Nik Antropov and Evander Kane, but there could be the chance Mark Scheifele may start as high up as the second line.
The Jets defensive unit to start the season is the same as ended last season in Atlanta - Dustin Byfuglien, Tobias Enstrom, Zach Bogosian, Ron Hainsey, Johnny Oduya, and Mark Stuart.
On the scale of significance, this game is the biggest since the AHL's Manitoba Moose were in the 2009 Calder Cup Finals or even the Avco Cup Championships of the WHA era Jets.
Despite the 15,004 in the MTS Centre tomorrow afternoon, there will be tens of thousands more pouring onto the streets of downtown Winnipeg and many others watching this historic game on TV.
The Jets are back and we only have mere hours before the dream becomes a reality.


According to the research, titled "2014 Survey of America's Physicians: Practice Patterns and Perspectives," 81 percent of physicians describe themselves as either over-extended or at full capacity, while only 19 percent indicate they have time to see more patients. Forty-four percent of physicians surveyed plan to take steps that would reduce patient access to their services, including cutting back on patients seen, retiring, working part-time, closing their practice to new patients or seeking non-clinical jobs, leading to the potential loss of tens of thousands of full-time-equivalents (FTEs). As the ranks of Medicare and Medicaid patients increase – in 2011, more than 75 million baby boomers began turning 65 and qualifying for Medicare – and millions of new patients are insured through the Affordable Care Act, patient access to care could pose significant health delivery and policy challenges.
In comparing the physician surveys conducted by The Physicians Foundation in 2008 and 2012, the 2014 respondents are younger, more work in employed settings (e.g., hospital systems), there are more females and more work in primary care. In 2014, the average age of the respondents is 50, versus an average age of 54 in 2012. In 2014, 33 percent of the survey respondents are female, versus only 26 percent in 2012. Importantly, survey respondents mirror the composition of the current U.S. physician workforce – providing a representative understanding of the diversity of attitudes and perspectives inherent among America's doctors.
In addition to changing workforce demographics, the survey captured significant transitions underway in physician workforce patterns and practice settings. For instance, in 2014, only 17 percent of physicians indicate that they are in solo practice, down from 25 percent in 2012. In 2014, only 35 percent of physicians describe themselves as independent practice owners, down from 49 percent in 2012 and 62 percent in 2008. Fifty-three percent of respondents describe themselves as employees of a hospital or medical group, up from 44 percent in 2012 and 38 percent in 2008. More than two-thirds of employed physicians (68 percent) expressed concerns relative to clinical autonomy and their ability to make the best decisions for their patients.
In 2012, many physicians described high levels of government regulation, malpractice liability pressures, inadequate and inconsistent reimbursement, and eroding clinical autonomy as factors leading to discontentment. In 2014, survey questions focused more on clinical autonomy, given the significant patient implications. When asked about levels of clinical autonomy and the ability to make the best decisions for patients, 69 percent of physicians indicate that their decisions are often compromised – demonstrating a strong potential bearing on quality of patient care.
As seen in previous survey years, a majority of physicians (56 percent) continue to describe their morale as somewhat to very negative. However, optimism levels increased between 2014 and 2012. In 2014, 44 percent of physicians characterize themselves as somewhat or very positive about the current state of the medical profession, compared to 32 percent in 2012.
The reason for this increase could be attributed to the changing composition of the survey respondents. Specifically, 54 percent of younger physicians (ages 45 or lower) surveyed are optimistic about the state of medicine, versus 30 percent of older physicians (ages 46 or higher). Female physicians are slightly more optimistic about the current state of medicine (49 percent) than their male counterparts (42 percent). Fifty-one percent of employed physicians are optimistic about the current state of the medical profession, compared to 33 percent of physicians who own their own practice.
Eighty-five percent of physicians surveyed indicate that they have implemented electronic health records (EHR). Yet, only 24 percent say that EHR systems have improved efficiency and only 32 percent indicate that it has improved quality of care. Nearly half of respondents (47 percent) noted that EMR systems detract from patient interaction.
