UrsusMaritimus, quite a few literature have come out over the last year on cave bear and cave lion relations - I've been sitting on them for a little while because I am up to my neck with other literature and related material tasks. In general, it takes a lot of energy to identify, access, organize, edit, then communicate the data. RE: cave bears and cave lions, there's a lot of erroneous claims being made by people who have not read the literature - it is obvious their material access is limited or they are selective about the data they cite. I tend to think the former or maybe a combination of the two. This is a topic I think many people find interesting. Hopefully, we can get into more of the recent literature in the not too distant future.
Not to be forgotten, the thread that hardly started. Sorry for the delays. Persons who have read in full (not just the
abstract article) or are familiar with the literature are encouraged to participate.

I've read the full article. It was certainly interesting, and made it seem very likely that the lions really did venture deep into caves to feed.
Perhaps later I can provide more quotes and details.
I would however like to add some info from "Isotopic evidence for dietary ecology of cave lion (Panthera spelaea) in North-Western Europe: Prey choice, competition and implications for extinction" as well:
When the average isotopic values of the possible preys were
reconstructed, two lions fell on or close to the isotopic values of
reindeer, one fell on the isotopic value of woolly rhinoceros, and the
last one in an area close to the range exhibited by horses and cave
bears, but with slightly lower d13C and higher d15N than the average
value for adult cave bears (Fig. 3). Predation of juvenile black
rhinoceros by modern lions in Africa has been reported (e.g., Elliot,
1987; Brain et al., 1999; Plotz and Linklater, 2009), and therefore
such a prey preference seems possible for cave lions. In the case of
the cave lion with an average prey falling close to the adult cave
bear value, young cave bears typically exhibit more negative d13C
values and more positive d15N values than their adult counterparts
(e.g., Bocherens et al., 1994; Nelson et al., 1998; Bocherens, 2004;
Pérez-Rama et al., in this issue), the consumption of such a prey
in addition to horse could explain the observed pattern for this lion.
When cave hyenas
were present in the environment of cave lions in Ardennes as well
as in the Swabian Jura, cave lions seem to have relied heavily either
on reindeer or on cave bear cubs, with strong individual prefer-
ences. At Goyet, the remains of first spring bear cubs are the ones
that were especially damaged by carnivores. It is possible that the
carnivores, and this study strongly suggests that they were cave
lions, took advantage of the fact that the bear mothers left their
young alone for a while, just as recent brown bears do (e.g.,
Couturier, 1954), when they were looking for food at the end of the
winter rest (Germonpré and Sablin, 2001). The fact that the only
cave lion from the Ardennes during the pre-LGM period that had
d13C and d15N values overlapping those of the cave hyenas was
actually post-dating the extirpation of cave hyenas further supports
this view.
The possibility that some cave lions consumed high proportion
of cave bears, especially young ones, is supported by the present
study. Predation by cave lion has been suggested previously as
a mortality cause of cave bear yearlings (e.g., Weinstock, 1999) and
even the habit of cave bears to hibernated deep into cave system
has been suggested to be a defence against predation by cave lions,
among others (Diedrich, 2009b). The fact that the bone collagen of
some individuals of cave lions was strongly influenced by the
isotopic signature of young cave bears and that this tissue records
an average of the food consumed during several years suggests that
consumption of young cave bear may not have been accidental but
was rather performed on a regular basis by some cave lions. Among
modern lions, some individual dietary specialization on unusual
prey has been documented, for instance the so-called "man-eaters
from Tsavo", and were found especially in case of prey scarcity and
in individuals suffering from craniodental infirmities (Yeakel et al.,
This supports further the hypothesis of
a competitive displacement of cave lions by cave hyenas. In combi-
nation with evidence for fights between cave hyenas and cave lions
and that cave hyenas sometimes consumed carcasses of lions during
the Late Pleistocene (e.g., Diedrich, 2008, 2009a), this indicates that
lions were at a disadvantage in the competition with hyenas. This
could be linked to the solitary habits of cave lions in contrast with the
clan behaviour of cave hyenas. This is in contrast with modern
spotted hyenas and lions in Africa, where both predator species
exhibit a large overlap in the prey choice (Hayward, 2006). Modern
lions, even if they are smaller than the Pleistocene ones, may resist
better the competition with spotted hyenas thanks to their collective
behaviour. In contrast, carnivorous brown bears could sustain die-
tary competition with hyenas using overlapping prey items as
Pleistocene brown bears were even larger than modern ones (e.g.,
Baryshnikov and Boeskorov, 2004) and therefore much larger than
hyenas, while leopard could use food caching to protect their prey
from competing hyenas, as they do nowadays for instance when
they are in competition with tigers (e.g., Seidensticker, 1976).

Thanks Ursus. I would like this discussion to extend beyond one or two articles. Spanning several-plus years (especially the last 2 years) Dr. Diedrich has published A LOT of material on cave bear, cave lion, & cave hyena relations. If there is interest, my hope was to collectively/comprehensively tackle this topic.

All, I am a person who likes to whenever possible cover a lot a ground on any given topic of serious discussion. For those of us with subscription level article access, please understand, I am not saying each article has to be broken down and explained; however, I think it's important for anyone interested to be familiar about the relating literature and its evolution. My schedule is too busy to manage every thread. Everyone, is encouraged to participate. We are talking about cave bear, cave lion, & cave hyena relations. What's not to like? Europe's last ice age, significant climate shifts, the challenge to wildlife, etc, etc.

The latest from C.G. Diedrich:
3.7. Cave Bear Predators and Scavengers
It was generally suggested before that only "natural mortalities" occurred in those cave bear populations which were found in caves [70, 71]. First interpretations of carnivore impact on cave bear populations were discussed in a single European cave [72]. New research has demonstrated that cave bears indeed have been the main food source for these large Ice Age predators (lions, hyenas) in boreal forest environments [1–3], whereas newest nitrogen isotope analyses have additionally suggested lions to have fed at the end of the Late Pleistocene mainly on cave bear cubs at least [73]. This predation on cave bears is supported herein with further evidence from the German Sophie's Cave (Figures 1(b)–1(e)). The impact of carnivores in this cave appears to have been quite high (18% of the cave bear bones have been damaged by carnivores) which needs to be taken into account in any studies on the life and death of European cave bears. They would have been at their most vulnerable during winter hibernation and when raising young cubs (Figure 2) [1, 32, 74].
The Ice Age wolf in Europe Canis lupus cf. spelaeus is herein newly introduced as a "cave bear scavenger" and is not revised yet as lack of DNA studies, but its bone proportions are close to the Canadian timber wolf compared to skeletal material, and the Late Pleistocene wolf of Central Europe was a little larger than the modern European wolf. They possibly belong to a specialized Late Pleistocene wolf ecomorph [55]. It also appears that in the early to middle Late Pleistocene this large wolf existed all over Europe, which was then replaced directly within the maximum glaciation by the smaller wolf type, which finally disappeared with the reindeer fauna, replaced finally by the Holocene warm period European wolf Canis lupus lupus. Also the ecology of early to middle Late Pleistocene wolf within the mammoth steppe and boreal forests was quite unknown, also if those used caves as dens. Denning in wolves was reported in a first study in the Late Pleistocene of northern Italy [53], but similar as in Germany, most hyena "wolf den caves" overlap with "hyena den sites," and the question still remains, if hyenas imported wolf carcass remains to their dens (in bone accumulations typically present), or if wolf bones in caves are simply results of their den use, and scavenging on wolf carcasses by hyenas? The taphonomy of wolves in "hyena den bone assemblages" remains unsolved. Extant wolf remains are not abundant in smaller caves, which are used by modern wolves as cub raising dens, and modern wolves do not import those amounts of carcass remains (even if it seems to be mainly reindeer) to caves (such as hyenas). At least rarely they only use those shelters for cub raising [56]. Until today, it is unsolved, if wolves used caves as dwellers, as dens, and prey storage or if their bone remains are results of battles with hyenas, lions, and cave bears in caves in the Late Ice Age of Europe. The bone taphonomy situation is even more complex, as in lions, or hyenas.
New discoveries in the Sophie's Cave not far from the Zoolithen Cave, Bavaria, Germany (Figure 1(b)), presented herein, allow the first insights to the feeding habits in mountain regions and cave den use behaviour of Late Pleistocene wolves, which had to compete with two larger predators, lions and hyenas, which has no modern analogy. Obviously, in studied caves of Germany, most of the wolf bones were found at hyena dens, also partly at cave bear den caves presented herein with a first overview of the Franconian caves (Figure 1(b)). The largest unpublished amount of wolf remains in this cave-rich region comes from the Zoolithen Cave, whose material is included in a preliminary study of this "large population" (about 400 bones). Other bones of large wolves can be reported after first "cave bear bone dump" studies in the Upper Franconia Große Teufels Cave (Figure 1(b)). At minimum, there are three caves of Upper Franconia (Zoolithen, Große Teufels, and Sophie's Caves), which have both cave bear and hyena dens (Figure 1(b)). Those can be demonstrated to have larger amounts of wolf bones (Zoolithen Cave: 400, Große Teufels Cave: 50, Sophie's Cave: 55 wolf bones). The Sophie's Cave material is studied first in greater detail, which has not only wolf bones, but also, unique in Europe, wolf faecal pellets (not hyena, see hyena coprolite morphology in [59]), and even many bone fragments, and pedal bones from those faecal places of cave bears, which were partly digested, by wolves.
Ice Age steppe lions must have been good climbers and nocturnal hunters similar as their modern African relatives [75, 76]. They hunted and killed cave bears deep inside their caves, possibly while the bears were in hibernation, as has been clearly illustrated by the discovery of articulated lion skeletons amongst cave bear skeletons and their hibernation platforms 800 meters from the entrance of the Urşilor Cave in Romania [77]. Supporting evidence has also recently been found in the Zoolithen Cave [10] and many other caves of the Sauerland Karst in north-west Germany [47] as well as the famous Sloup Cave hyena and cave bear den in the Moravian Karst of the Czech Republic [46]. Newest nitrogen isotope studies also identified lions even as cave bear cub consumers in Europe [73].
Modern African spotted hyenas [75, 78, 79] and fossil Ice Age spotted hyenas are close related subspecies [80] and are poor climbers and seem to have mainly cleaned the caves of rotting carcasses, although operating in clans in the cave entrance areas they could also have easily killed cave bears themselves, and especially cave bear cubs [1–3]. At many of the German caves, including the Zoolithen Cave, Perick Caves, Balve Cave, and the Teufelskammer Cave in the Neander Valley they are thought to have been the main destroyers of cave bear carcasses and bones and to have specialized in feeding on cave bears in the mountainous boreal forest palaeoenvironments of the last Ice Age [1, 31, 52, 81–83]. Similar overlapping hyena den and cave bear den sites have been described from the Bohemian [60] and Moravian Karst, especially in the Sloup Cave [33] where hyenas in this mountainous region specialized in horse hunting [2], probably as a reaction to the absence of other megafauna prey or to their seasonal migrations. Horse hunting was also in the low lands important for hyena clans, demonstrated most recently at the German open air site Westeregeln [32]. Badly damaged cave bear bones indicate the importation of cave bear carcasses and single bones to open air dens such as the open air sites (close to mountain regions) at Bad Wildungen and Bottrop [82, 84].
3.8. Lions as Cave Bear Killers
All of the cave bear den caves studied in Germany contain only 1–3% of lion bones of Panthera leo spelaea as the only known large Late Pleistocene cold period felid of central Europe [85], of which none are from cubs and those from juveniles or early adults are extremely rare [10, 46, 47, 60, 74, 86]. The highest rate of lion mortality in caves occurs at their peak reproductive age, as has been recently demonstrated for the largest known European steppe lion population in the Zoolithen Cave [10] (Figure 14(a)). Articulated lion skeletons have also been found between cave bear skeletons deep within the Ursilor Cave, as far as 800 metres from the entrance, these being the only large predator remains found so deep inside a cave bear cave [3]. Modern lions being good climbers and nocturnal hunters [75, 76], the Late Pleistocene lions appear to have been active in killing cave bears also in darkness deep in caves [10], probably largely during the winter when the bears were hibernating [10]. Whether the bears were killed by prides of lions or by individuals remains unclear, but a lion pride would probably be required for successful hunting of adult cave bears [10] and could have even successfully defended it against hyenas, such as well documented about the lion-hyena antagonism in Africa about megafauna prey [87–89]. The cave bear consuming of Late Pleistocene steppe lions was also proven recently with nitrogen isotopic analyses [73]. As with modern lions, the Ice Age steppe lions probably fed first of all on the intestines and inner organs of the bears (Figure 13(a)), leaving large canine tooth marks and scratches on the bones, especially on the soft spongiosa of vertebrae and long bone joints, as found in the cave bear bone material from the Sophie's Cave (Figures 6–9). The bite damages on skulls of both, lions [90] and cave bears (Figure 15) seem to have resulted from their battles in the caves from intra- or interspecies fights.

You've been hearing about Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) emerging as the preferred managed money solution for investors. The growth of ETFs has been, and continues to be, tremendous among institutional and retail investors alike. Whether measured by daily trading volume, the number of annual new fund issuances or assets under management, ETFs have grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade. Why did the Assets under Management (AuM) in the global ETF market surge 41.5 percent in 2009? Why all this excitement surrounding ETFs?
ETFs essentially offer direct exposure to equity stock indexes, geographical regions, industries, commodities and currencies. Well, so do mutual funds, you would say. The difference is that ETFs combine some of the advantages of a mutual fund with the flexibility of a stock, for a fraction of the cost. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
Let's begin with what Exchange Traded Funds are. ETFs are funds that are traded on the stock exchange that reflect the underlying value of a basket of assets. The make up of the underlying basket of shares is designed for the ETF to track either a market index — say the FTSE500 — or sector indexes of the stock exchange. First developed as a tool to track stock market indexes, this investment tool has evolved into products that track commodities, real estate, currencies and derivatives.
The origin of ETFs can be traced back to 1989, when a proxy of the S&P 500, Index Participation Shares, was formed to trade on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. The next one to be launched, Toronto Index Participation Shares, began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) in 1990. Tracking the TSE 35 and subsequently the TSE 100 stocks, this ETF quickly gained popularity.
Since then, there has been no turning back for ETFs. Their popularity spiked with the turn of the century. According to a 2009 review of the global ETF industry by Barclays Global Investors, there were 1,635 ETFs, with $633.55 billion in assets, at the end of the first quarter. The AuM in US and European ETFs combined crossed the $1 trillion mark in 2009.
With their increasing acceptance among individual and institutional investors, the ETF market became fiercely competitive. AuM in the global ETF market is projected to cross the $2 trillion mark in 2011.
A primary example of a successful new age ETF is Gold ETFs which are exchange traded funds that are backed by gold and track the gold price. The performance of gold ETFs has been exemplary over the past decade. This is because of the defensive characteristic of the precious metal.
The 3 most popular ETFs that offer exposure to gold or gold mining companies are SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and ProShares Ultra Gold (UGL). In 2009 the year on year total return for each trust was 24.03 percent, 36.72 percent and 43.86 percent respectively.
For example, equity-tracking ETFs are funds that track the performance of a share index like the FTSE 500. How it works is that big investment managers who own real shares on the FTSE will deposit these shares with a trustee, in exchange for shares called creation units. These in turn are divided into individual shares in the ETF and sold to the general public in any quantity — even a single ETF share can be bought and sold. These shares are then traded on the market exactly like individual equities with its own ticker symbol.
ETFs differ primarily from traditional mutual funds in that they are not actively managed and are therefore not strategic, but are more similar to an index in the way they offer investment exposure. In addition, mutual funds do not trade during the day. While mutual funds take orders during the trading hours of the bourse, the transactions only take place when the market closes. The price of mutual funds is, therefore, the sum of the prices of all the stocks included in the fund when the market closes. In fact, mutual funds are sometimes traded weekly or even monthly. On the other hand, ETFs trade throughout the trading day, allowing investors to lock in a price for the underlying stocks. Lastly, investors can also set down Limit Orders, whereby they can advise their broker to purchase ETFs at or below a certain price.
ETFs are also said to be a cheaper option as mutual funds have managers who buy and sell shares (either to take a profit or cut losses). Thus, mutual funds are strategic — a manager makes asset allocations. In contrast, ETFs are passively managed diversified vehicles which results in substantially lower transaction costs for the investor.
Therefore by default, ETFS are usually a cheaper alternative than a mutual fund or unit trust as they are not actively managed.
Most investors prefer ETFs to traditional mutual funds because of 3 major factors.
Liquidity: compared to traditional mutual funds, ETFs offer the benefits of real-time tracking and real-time trading. Consequently, one can sell or buy ETFs, depending on the market condition, to either limit losses or to capitalize on favorable market trends.
Transparency: mutual funds are required by the authorities to disclose their holdings only periodically (usually once in every quarter). When you invest in an ETF, you know exactly what you own on any particular day.
ETFs do have numerous benefits. However, an investor must be aware of the drawbacks to make a sound investment decision. With ETFs, investors have to pay a brokerage commission each time a trade is made. If there is a lot of trading activity on a portfolio, the cost of trading could well offset the expense savings offered by the ETF as compared to mutual funds.
Another drawback of ETFs is that, as they trade on the market, they typically do not trade at their underlying net asset value (NAV), as the demand and supply for the said ETF will also influence its market value.
Lastly, as ETFs are passively managed, at most the performance of ETF will match that of the index or the performance of the underlying assets, minus the operating costs. On the other hand, a good mutual fund manager can add significant alpha (strategic decision making which enhances returns) and can therefore often significantly outperform any index.
The challenge then for maximising the savings from ETFs is that one should find a broker who offers a significant discount on the brokerage fee. Given their flexibility, low cost and tax benefits, ETFs tend to become a very critical component of an investor's portfolio. ETFs are also great investment options for diversification. In fact, some investors focus on ETFs alone and build a diversified portfolio with only a few ETFs. It is worth remembering that if one's primary interest in an ETF as an instant and cheap diversification tool, one should always pay particular attention to the underlying assets and sectors they represent.

Q: How do I Interrupt a long query in the mysql command line tool without quitting mysql? While debugging SQL statements, if I accidentally execute a query in using the mysql command line  that outputs at lot of results (even if the query itself executes in reasonable time), the only way I know of to stop the endless stream of output is CTRL-C.
Unfortunately this puts me back in the shell, forcing me to login and select the database again.
To avoid this I've started running mysql with the --sigint-ignore option so that CTRL-C is ignored.
Now I'd like a way to interrupt the output of those long queries.
Is there a keyboard shortcut that will do this?

A: Bit late, but maybe my answer will help someone.
A way to kill a specific mysql query through the command line would be:

*

*Run mysqladmin processlistand find the process id of the query by the command

*Run mysqladmin kill <query_id>.
Assuming a query ID 123456789 you'd just need to run: mysqladmin kill 123456789

A: Use mysql --sigint-ignore
and to clear a line, use control+U

A: Not a keyboard shortcut.
The only choice is to open another session, use SHOW PROCESSLIST and then KILL QUERY the one you want to terminate.
You can also use the mysqladmin command-line tool to issue these commands.
Either way, it requires you to login.   So it's not much of an advantage over just hitting Ctrl-C.

A: As of MySQL 5.7 (released in 2013), ^C cancels a query in progress and returns you to the mysql shell. ^C currently only exits if there is no query running.

Previously, Control+C in mysql interrupted the current statement if there was one, or exited mysql if not. Now Control+C interrupts the current statement if there was one, or cancels any partial input line otherwise, but does not exit.

MySQL 5.7 release notes

A: You can use --pager to have your output passed to a pager such as less which will give you control over the output.  Not just killing it, but also paging, searching and even storing the output better than your terminal window gives you.
There's also the --safe-updates or -U switch aka --i-am-a-dummy which protects you from clauseless updates and deletes and also auto limits selects to 1000 (modifyable with select_limit).
All of this can be set by default in ~/.my.cnf.
[mysql]
pager
safe-updates

A: From the current mysql docs:

As of MySQL 5.1.10, typing Control-C
  causes mysql to attempt to kill the
  current statement. If this cannot be
  done, or Control-C is typed again
  before the statement is killed, mysql
  exits. Previously, Control-C caused
  mysql to exit in all cases.

Since I was using version 5.0.67 seems that updating mysql would be the best fix. However I have accepted Schwern's answer because it was quick to implement and works like a dream.

Margaret K. McElderry Books, New York, 2011. 386 pages.
Starred Review
I normally am not much of a fan of vampire books. In fact, I enjoyed the Twilight series because it didn't read like a vampire book at all. I almost quit on this book after the first two chapters, but I like Sarah Beth Durst's writing so much, I decided to persevere. I was glad I did!
In the world of Drink, Slay, Love vampires are not sparkly and nice. They have the traditional features of not having reflections, hating holy water, and combusting if they are exposed to sunlight. Pearl and her Family do hide from humans in their mansion with underground catacombs. But at night they go out and feed. It turns out that vampire venom causes wounds to heal quickly and also causes humans to forget. So they can prey on the same humans often, and no one is the wiser.
Pearl's Family has been selected to host an upcoming Fealty Ceremony for the King of New England, so they need to prepare a large feast. But soon after they get the news, Pearl gets stabbed by a unicorn.
Her Family doesn't believe her. Of course unicorns don't exist. They think some slayer came after her. But then Pearl discovers that now she can walk around in daylight. Her family is appalled, but they think of a way they can use this turn of events.
"You will solve a problem for us," Mother said. She began to smile too. This was more alarming than Daddy's smile. Pearl wasn't sure she had ever seen Mother's face curve into a smile. It looked unnatural, as if the porcelain-doll face had cracked. Her eyes didn't change. Only her lips curved.
"Oh?" Pearl said. "Wonderful."
"For the Fealty Ceremony, we need to supply enough humans for the king and his guards to quench their thirst. However, obtaining the dozen humans needed with our current hunting grounds is problematic at best and extremely risky at worst," Daddy said. "One or two at a time can always be managed, but that many at once . . ."
Mother chimed in, "Our hope is that with this new development, new opportunities will present themselves."
"You want me to find the king's dinner in daylight?" Pearl guessed.
"Precisely," Mother said.
Daddy smiled. "We want you to attend high school."
However, Pearl is changing. Could she be developing a conscience? And she's actually beginning to make friends. Can she really give them up for the king's feast? But if she doesn't, her Family will kill her.
I ended up enjoying this book very much indeed. I did laugh when an element came up that I've found in Sarah Beth Durst's other books, Ice and Enchanted Ivy. It's an element I really enjoy, though. This time there's a rather major plot point involved, so I won't give it away. People who are up on unicorn terminology (for example those who have read Diana Peterfreund's Rampant) may suspect, but they'll still enjoy it when all is revealed.
Sarah Beth Durst knows how to write fun books. Enchanted Ivy was good-hearted fun playing off the gargoyles of Princeton. This book has good-hearted fun playing off all the traditional vampire (and unicorn) tropes. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it was a vampire story.

The Happy Valley Police Department posted the video to their Facebook page. The video shows a group of at least three people testing the door handles of cars.
Police say it happened in a neighborhood off Southeast 152nd, north of Sunnyside early Friday.
Two people are seen on the video trying to open car doors that police say were locked with no valuables in sight. In that particular instance, neither car was broken into and nothing was stolen.
However, it was a different story for one neighbor.
Off Southeast 152nd on Southeast Ivy Creek Street, a woman says that same morning she woke up to her car with its door open.
Carley Webster says about 10 other cars on this street had their doors open too.
What's strange is the way the thieves broke into her car, which she thought was locked, and others.
Webster had her Macbook, Air Pods, and other electronics stolen – worth thousands of dollars.
She says they moved from Beaverton recently and thought this neighborhood would be safer.
Webster says the car prowlers didn't take her garage door opener, thankfully.
But she's left feeling a little unsettled from all of this, thinking the prowlers must have had a device to unlock all of the cars she saw with their doors open.
Police say this is a concerning event. People are always encouraged to call 911 if they see or hear anything suspicious.

Political Agenda
Tinklenberg expected to get DFL endorsement
Former transportation commissioner Elwyn Tinklenberg, with strong labor support, is expected to win DFL endorsement over Bob Olson at the Sixth District Congressional convention Saturday at the Bunker Hills Activity Center in Andover.
By Doug Grow
Former transportation commissioner Elwyn Tinklenberg, with strong labor support, is expected to win DFL endorsement over Bob Olson at the Sixth District Congressional convention Saturday at the Bunker Hills Activity Center in Andover. The winner takes on Republican incumbent Michele Bachmann in November.
The Tinklenberg campaign may have hit a bump in the road earlier this week when former federal judge Miles Lord showed up at a DFL forum and dropped off a letter accusing Tinklenberg of helping spread "deadly taconite tailings" along Minnesota roadways. Though this race has been lightly covered by Twin Cities media, there just happened — wink, wink — to be reporters at this event, meaning Lord's letter got fairly heavy media play.
Tinklenberg ended up spending the final days leading up to the convention explaining he's not in favor of spreading carcinogens along roadways. A project he worked on, both as commissioner under Gov. Jesse Ventura and as a private consultant in ensuing years, to use and market tons of tailings on Minnesota roads has been approved by University of Minnesota research, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency as a safe way to use by-products of taconite mining from the western portion of the Iron Range. Tailings from the western portions of the Range do not have the asbestos-like fibrous materials like tailings from the eastern parts of the Range.
Olson has strong support among environmentalists because of his years of work, both professionally and personally, in the movement.

We can no longer stomach our food system. It's killing more and more Americans and costing billions in healthcare. 78% of Americans eat organic food, because they think it's healthier. But is organic really better for us or just a marketing scam?
When corporations went into the business and "organic" became a brand, everything changed. The philosophy and the label grew apart. Can gummy bears or bananas flown halfway across the world truly be organic?
"In Organic We Trust" is an eye-opening food documentary that looks beyond organic for practical solutions for me and you. Local farmer's markets, school gardens, and urban farms are revolutionizing the way we eat. Change is happening from the soil up.

Stolberg-Stolberg fu una contea ad ovest della Sassonia-Anhalt, in Germania, a sud di Harz, nella regione attorno a Stolberg. Stolberg-Stolberg venne creato due volte; la prima come partizione dello Stolberg-Wernigerode nel 1583, e una seconda volta, come partizione dello Stolberg-Ortenberg nel 1704. Stolberg-Stolberg venne nuovamente divisa nel 1669 quando si separò in se stesso e nello Stolberg-Ortenberg. Stolberg-Stolberg consegnò la propria indipendenza fisica all'Elettorato di Sassonia, e passò poi alla Prussia nel 1815.

Why only inspect 30% of your data traffic?
SonicWALL's DPI-SSL service provides critical security, application control and data leakage prevention for analyzing HTTPS and other SSL encrypted traffic.
Today, more enterprise traffic is secured using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol — up to 35 percent, according to industry analysts, and even more in some vertical industries. Cybercriminals know this, which is why they have begun to use SSL to hide their attacks. Not only are they bypassing firewalls and capitalizing on blind spots to sneak in malware that opens doors directly into corporate networks, they are also using SSL to hide command and control traffic so they can manipulate compromised systems from virtually anywhere.
Organizations can safeguard their networks from these tactics with Dell SonicWALL SSL Inspection, an add-on service to Dell SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) and SuperMassive Series nextgeneration firewall appliances as well as most TZ units. SSL Inspection provides advanced protection against SSL threats. Dell's patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® engine, a full-stack stream inspection technology scans SSL-encrypted traffic — including HTTPS, SMTPS, NNTPS, LDAPS, FTPS, TelnetS, IMAPS, IRCS, and POPS — and regardless of the port being used. The service decrypts SSL traffic, inspects it for threats and then re-encrypts it, sending it along to its destination if no threats or vulnerabilities are found. It is an invaluable service for providing critical security and application control, and for preventing data leakage.

VIA Launches goMobile, New Trip-Planning and Mobile Ticketing App
28 Jun 2017VIA Launches goMobile, New Trip-Planning and Mobile Ticketing App
SAN ANTONIO (June 28, 2017) — VIA Metropolitan Transit launched its new goMobile app Wednesday. VIA goMobile will change the public transit experience in the region by putting convenient planning and purchasing power in the palms of passengers' hands.
The new mobile ticketing and trip-planning app, powered by moovel North America, will allow bus and VIAtrans patrons to purchase fares using their smartphone, and activate them when they are ready to ride. The digital ticketing process expedites boarding and reduces the need for cash and transfer cards. The app's trip-planning feature provides bus arrival information to help riders plan more easily and accurately. An Official Congratulations signed by San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg was presented on behalf of the City of San Antonio City Council at Wednesday's event.
"The VIA goMobile app is part of VIA's ongoing investment in innovation, and part of several recent initiatives that will help transform the rider experience," VIA President/CEO Jeffrey C. Arndt said. "The launch of this new trip-planning and mobile ticketing app signals a major advancement in the way our customers connect to opportunity and to the places where we live, work and play."
VIA goMobile is the next in a series of technological advancements VIA has introduced to enhance passenger amenities and modernize the agency's programs and services. The goMobile app is free to download for Apple and Android devices. Fares and passes can be purchased using credit cards. The app was designed in partnership with moovel, a transit technology provider, and features local landmarks and iconography that become animated once the ticket is activated. Passengers will simply show their phone screen to the operator when boarding.
VIA provides regional multimodal transportation options that connect our community to opportunity, support economic vitality, and enhance quality of life throughout our region. VIA, recognized by the Texas Transit Association in 2016 as the outstanding Metro Transit Authority of the year, serves 14 member cities and the unincorporated areas of Bexar County, operating seven days a week on 90 routes. Last year, VIA provided 40 million rides across the region. VIA's AAA bond rating reflects the organization's sound management and financial practices. Visit VIAinfo.net for more information.

In 1958, Michael Young coined the term "meritocracy" in his book, The Rise of the Meritocracy. Young used the term satirically to depict a United Kingdom ruled by a system that favored intelligence and merit above all else, including past personal achievements.
However, the concept of meritocracy has taken on a different meaning since Young's book. It now refers to organizations where the best people and ideas win. It is no longer an idea that is mocked or ridiculed, but rather celebrated. In fact, I would argue that a company looking to build and foster engagement among their associates as well as encourage leadership should consider adopting a meritocratic approach.
What is a meritocracy in the workplace? In a meritocracy, everyone has the right to express their opinions and are encouraged to share them openly and often. Those opinions are listened to and decisions are then made based on those that are deemed the best. It's important to understand that a meritocracy is not a democracy. There is no "decision by consensus"; not everyone has a vote. This is the key distinction of the meritocracy. While everyone does have a voice, some are listened to more than others.
Herein lies the crux of a meritocracy: Who decides who is listened to? Who decides which ideas are the best? My view is that people who are listened to are the ones who have earned the right. They have built a reputation and history of contributing good ideas, going beyond their day jobs, and achieving stellar results.
In many companies that employ a meritocracy, people forge their own path to leadership, not simply by working hard and smart, but also by expressing unique ideas that have the ability to positively impact their team and their company. Entire paths have been paved because a single person spoke up when it mattered, had gained enough trust and respect from teammates so people truly listened, and, as a result, was able to influence direction of an initiative (or start a new one).
For example, I think back to an associate who, as we were developing our HR solutions program, spoke up in a meeting when he thought myself, his boss's boss, his boss and others, were making a wrong decision. While we didn't follow his guidance that day, eventually we did because we valued his opinion, and frankly, because he was right.
Of course, this doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and a consistent track record to begin to earn respect and influence in a meritocracy. As you can imagine, given the right vehicles for communication and encouragement, the natural thought leaders emerge.
How to Build a Meritocracy
It is interesting to me that in business, the concept of rewarding individuals based on their influence is still relatively new. I believe it is a strategy managers should consider adopting if they want to succeed at the next level.
Here are three things I would suggest if you want to build a meritocracy in your organization:
Empower your leaders. At one of my former companies, we thought of associates as either "leaders" or "followers." Followers were the people who reflected the temperature of an organization, while leaders were those who set that temperature. Managers should figure out who their leaders are, and empower them. However, it is important to recognize that not all leaders are people managers. Many will likely be thought leaders who have gained influence over time from their contributions and results, and while they don't manage others, they do have influence over the direction of others. Regardless of whether your leader is a people manager or an individual contributor, it is important to give them the tools they need to succeed and drive the organization forward.
Foster passion across the organization. Place leaders in positions that speak to what they are truly excited about. If a developer is passionate about contributing to open source cloud projects, put them on a project that will enable that passion to shine. When it comes time to reward them, do not simply promote them with a new title, but rather direct them towards a path that will enable them to follow their passion. Perhaps they want to take on additional projects, or mentor and lead a team. Find out what motivates them and then empower them to set their own direction. Do not, however, forget about your followers. The role they play promoting energy and passion throughout the organization is just as important, and they need to be in areas where they can excel too.
Encourage a culture of listening. Whether we are talking about the CEO, or mid-level manager, it is important to recognize that nobody has all of the answers. In a meritocracy, great leadership is not about having great ideas, it is about ensuring the best ideas emerge. It is up to the executives and managers to set the tone of the workplace and encourage an environment that promotes listening and sharing. It's impossible to have a meritocracy if ideas are not allowed to surface and flow freely.
While a meritocracy can be a bit of a bumpy road (lots of voices = lots of opinions = lots of data to dissect), I have found that it truly does help us stay on the cutting edge and bring to light the best ideas. It also helps us keep associates engaged and fosters genuine leadership. What more could you ask for?

There are some publishers acting unethically especially when it comes to OA journal publishing. The following common signs of predatory journals may help you identify these journals:
misleading metrics
hijacked version of other well published journals
fake editorial boards, or names and affiliations of the editorial board members are not presented clearly
claimed to be indexed by key databases or Directory of Open Access Journals when they are not
reproduce articles from other academic journals
charge APC fees to publish a manuscript in a short time, e.g. 2-4 weeks.
send spam emails to invite researchers to publish articles with their journals
unprofessional website, e.g. poor writing, with commercials advertisements, unclear location
a journal title may be "American journal of ...", but the location of the publisher is in an Asia country
some of these journals are published in a website that contains a large number of open access journals across a wide range of disciplines

Types of OA publishing
Benefits of Open Access
There are mainly two types of OA publications:
Green OA refers to research papers deposited in a digital archive/repository. There are two types of repositories:
An institutional repository (IR) is provided by a research institution. The repository at AUT is Tuwhera Research Outputs.
Discipline-specific repository. Well-known examples include arXiv for physics and mathematics and PubMed Central for biomedical and life sciences journal literature.
Gold OA refers to peer reviewed articles published in online open access journals that are free to the public. Author or the author's institution is usually required to pay an article processing charge (APC) fee in order to publish articles in OA journals.
or a combination of the above
Hybrid OA: some subscription-based journals are "hybrid" with a portion of articles being open access and the rest of articles are available to subscribers only. Authors of accepted articles in the hybrid model are often required to pay an article processing charge (APC) fee.
Find publishers' APC fees on SHERPA RoMEO.
You may find the following study on tracking article processing charges at the University of Canterbury an interesting read:

Benefits of OA publishing:
Reach a more diverse audience and disadvantaged communities
Research shows that publishing via Green OA leads to increased rates of citation
OA enhances universities research profiles
Publicly funded research should be made publicly accessible
Research funders will achieve better returns from their investment
Quicker turn-around time

I love being a writer. I do. It's like having some sort of super power. Ok, as super powers go, it's not very high on the scale. I mean, I can't leap tall buildings in a single bound or stop a speeding bullet. And I can't read minds, although, I do hear my fair share of voices in my head. And I may not have the power of invisibility, but in the middle of the night, as I dash around my darkened house in my underwear, I pretend I do.
But I guess, in all fairness to myself, as a writer, I have any power I want at my disposal. I can time travel to avoid kissing all the wrong boys, and be sure I kiss all the right ones. I literally have the world at my fingertips. It's a wonderful place to live. Even better when you don't have to live there all alone.
I've spent the past few days working with one of my favorite editors. We've been going back and forth between our respective projects and it feels a bit like Superman joining the Justice League. There is strength in numbers…and all that ultimate power crap. When we join forces, it's like magic.
Yeah, my metaphors are silly, but it's the best way I can describe it. I'm so lucky to have someone to bounce ideas off of. It makes all the brilliance of me seem that much brighter. And she seems to think the same way.
So if I appear distracted, just chalk it up to saving the world from split infinitives and dangling participles and I'll be back when the words are a safer place.
Until the next time…I'll be writing.

Ninth Victim of New Mexico Greyhound Bus Crash in Thoreau NM Dies: New Mexico Trucking Accident Lawyer

Ninth Person Dies in Fatal New Mexico Greyhound Bus Crash: New Mexico Trucking Accident Lawyer Explains Wrongful Death of Unborn Child
There was a horrific semi tractor trailer wreck on I-40 in Thoreau, New Mexico about two weeks ago. A large 18 wheeler lost control after it blew a front, driver's side tire. This cause the tractor trailer to careen into the oncoming lane where it struck a Greyhound bus head on. This initially resulted in 8 fatalities, 7 at the scene and one in the emergency room. Yesterday, new reports are indicting that the ninth person has passed away. The ninth victim was a baby delivered prematurely after the deadly tractor trailer crash and did not survive. Our New Mexico trucking accident lawyer explains the wrongful death of this baby, an unborn child, and other people which could be due to the negligence of the semi tractor trailer driver and trucking company.

Our experienced New Mexico trucking accident lawyer is licensed in New Mexico and California, speaks Spanish, and can meet you and your family anywhere in California, New Mexico, or elsewhere to discuss your case. Please call us to learn how we can help by dialing (505) 883-5000 to schedule a FREE consultation with our legal team.
Wrongful Death of a Baby in a New Mexico Trucking Accident
One of the more devastating losses in the Greyhound bus crash is the loss of a premature baby. This is very said and distressing because the mother was a passenger on the Greyhound bus and 7 months pregnant with twins. After the crash, the mother needed to deliver the babies due to her injuries. The twins were born and went right into the neo-natal unit. The baby girl passed away yesterday, while there is no information on the status of the baby boy. This set of facts is complicated and results in an "unborn child" issue.
Some legal issues to address when the loss of a baby is caused by a New Mexico semi tractor trailer trucking accident include the following:
Loss of a fetus that is not born is a damage to the mother, unless the baby is a "viable fetus" and then an unborn child could have survived outside the mother's womb and then the unborn child could have his or her own wrongful death claim (this is pursuant to the case of Salazar v St. Vincent Hospital);
Once a baby is born naturally or through c-section, the wrongful death of a baby has its own cause of action (meaning the estate steps into the shoes of the baby);
Even if a baby is born and then passes away, the mother may have a claim for emotional distress;
If the mother is forced to have an emergency c-section after a tractor trailer crash, the mother may be entitled to compensation for the c-section as a major surgery, whether or not the baby survives;
Under NM Stat. section 41-2-3, a personal representative must be appointed to represent the child whom is killed in the crash which is likely to be a surviving parent, or if both pre-deceased, a legal guardian, adult sibling, grandparent, aunt/uncle, great grandparent, or another individual the court deems proper.

Leadership matters: The case of community led total sanitation and hygiene
By Araya Mengistu
Ethiopia is a country showing strong progress in achieving global and national goals for WASH services. It has achieved the MDG target 7c for water supply. Although still behind for sanitation targets, considerable progress is made. As of 2012, 37 per cent of communities practiced open defecation, as compared to 92 per cent in 1990[1]
The progress on sanitation is mainly achieved through the national Health Extension Programme (HEP) and the community led total sanitation and hygiene (CLTSH) approach. CLTSH is an approach that helps to mainly rural communities to understand undesirable effects of poor sanitation, and through a process of "triggering" – igniting a change in behaviour – achieve sustained behaviour change leading to spontaneous and long term abandonment of Open Defecation (OD) practices. Since its introduction in 2006/7, CLTSH has remained the only instrument in Ethiopia to induce behaviour change of communities to consider construction of latrines and use them – discouraging the practice of open defecation. Although the achievements in the past decade are significant, the success of the approach varied significantly from place to place.
For example, the Oromia regional state, the largest in the country, consists 265 rural and 39 urban districts or woredas. Out of 6,531 kebeles (sub-districts each with an average population of 5,000) in rural areas, about 16 per cent are open-defecation free (ODF) – meaning no-one, including visitors and passing pedestrians, are openly defecating and all have access to basic latrines with handwashing facilities.
UNICEF supports 24 woredas in Oromia state between 2011 and 2015. Of the supported woredas, 24 per cent (116 of 477 kebeles) have achieved ODF status. Compared to regional average of 16 per cent, this is a huge achievement. Sire, one of the supported woredas, has recently been graduated in 2015 with 100 per cent performance, declaring all 18 rural kebeles ODF. Other woredas are at various stages. 11 woredas are between 20-50 per cent progresses, while the rest 12 woredas are of 0-10 per cent progress. Compared to these, Sire Woreda shows an outstanding performance.
Such exceptional achievement requires successfully overcoming a number of challenges. A key challenge is lack of thorough understanding of the steps involved in CLTSH and their importance. Usually CLTSH is about training facilitators and triggering communities. However, many practitioners agree that this is the easiest part. Rendering adequate supervision after the triggering stage and providing support that is necessary to sustain the momentum is the difficult part. Other challenges include diffusion of information to neighbouring communities that make the approach ineffective, lack of trainers with actual field experience, high staff turnover, poor coordination among stakeholders, weak commitment of staff and trained people and application of CLTSH without adequate or proper organisation and preparation.
Growing over all these challenges and as a result of four years of effort, Sire Woreda celebrated 100 per cent ODF achievement in April 2015, with all rural villages and kebeles free from open defecation.
Even though, some of these kebeles were declared ODF two or more years ago, , they continued to sustain their status despite the usual trend of falling-back to OD practice noticed as time elapses. This demonstrates an effective post-triggering activity by the Woreda that effectively complimented the planning and triggering activity.
How was this achieved? The Woreda administration leveraged existing structures to sensitize the leadership ladder down to village level on CLTSH and built it in to the regular reporting and evaluation process. This has helped to mobilize the largest possible support to the effort of Health Extension Workers (HEWs) and CLTSH facilitators, including teachers and students under the guidance and support of the Woreda Health Office. It has also avoided diversions of focus (including manpower, logistics, and resources) as CLTSH has become an official woreda priority.
Two notable practices can be praised in the woreda for this success. (a) the technique of triggering one full kebele at a time in contrast to the usual practice of village by village, and (b) use of different post-triggering follow-up technique suited to context. The advantage of the first technique was twofold. It helped to avoid diffusion of information in to neighbouring communities. Since, focusing in one kebele at a time required more trained people, the coordinators called upon trained and experienced facilitators from adjacent woredas to support, which worked really well. On the other hand, the woreda experts consciously applied different post-triggering follow-up methods. In highland areas, they applied the 'flag system', where by communities themselves awarded white flags to households who have constructed basic latrines, and red flags to those who did not. In low land areas, students were organized to alert the community when they see any one defecating in the open, who will then ensure the person buries the excreta.
Currently, the Woreda continues to strengthen the community platforms for monitoring progress and pro-actively works with local leaders to provide the necessary guidance and technical support to sustain the achievement. As a result of this, they are expecting at least two kebeles to achieve secondary ODF, which includes upgrading of basic latrines to improved latrines (with washable slab, vent pipe, hole-cover) with hand washing facility by the whole community. The commitment of leaders, and subsequent effective coordination in the Woreda has benefited the wider community to keep children, women and the society at large healthy.

Global Fund
Ending Epidemics
Global Fund creates mechanism to respond to COVID-19 and protect gains in global AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria responses
Washington, DC – The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced today that it is establishing a new mechanism to channel donor resources to fight COVID-19 in hard hit countries around the world.
The Global Fund's Board approved $500 million for the new funding stream today. This follows an initial allotment of up to $500 million that the Global Fund made available to grant implementing countries in early March. Public and private donors are encouraged to contribute additional funds to the emergency response fund to help meet the growing need for resources to address COVID-19 globally.
Resources channeled through the emergency response fund will go towards preparedness assessments, laboratory testing, surveillance infrastructure, infection control in health facilities, and public information campaigns, among other activities. Funds will also be used to shore up responses to the AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria epidemics that are strained by the COVID-19 pandemic. (More information is available from the Global Fund.)
Because of the Global Fund's robust grant-making capabilities, global procurement expertise, and longstanding local networks — with governments, civil society organizations, and affected communities — it can quickly deploy and monitor resources on the ground.
"The Global Fund is uniquely suited to help in the fight against COVID-19," said Chris Collins, president of Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, TB and malaria. "The U.S. should continue to demonstrate global leadership and solidarity by investing in this new emergency mechanism. It will not only rapidly deliver resources to countries in need, it will also ensure that life-saving work on AIDS, TB and malaria will not be interrupted."
Health systems in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa, are already fragile and overburdened. COVID-19 could stretch them to a breaking point, while also stalling hard fought progress against the AIDS, TB and malaria epidemics.
"The Global Fund has proven time and again that it's nimble, has meticulous oversight, is trusted by donors and implementing countries alike, and can quickly deliver medications and supplies to those who need them most," said Dr. Jeffrey L. Sturchio, Friends' Board Chair and CEO at Rabin Martin, a global health strategy consulting firm. "This new emergency mechanism is an important step forward in the fight against COVID-19, and a way for U.S. corporations to contribute directly."
The Global Fund has already encouraged countries receiving Global Fund grants to urgently prepare for COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects on HIV, TB, and malaria programs. Separate from the new funding mechanism, the Global Fund has approved requests from 54 countries and two regional grant programs to employ savings from efficiencies and up to 5 percent of Global Fund grant resources to fight COVID-19.
In addition, of the roughly $4 billion the Global Fund invests in HIV, TB, and malaria programs per year, more than $1 billion of that directly strengthens health systems to improve procurement and supply chains, diagnostics and surveillance capacities, data systems and data use, along with training qualified health care workers, building stronger community responses and systems and promoting the delivery of integrated health services.
ABOUT FRIENDS OF THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA: Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria advocates for U.S. support of the Global Fund, and the goal to end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

ABOUT THE GLOBAL FUND:
The Global Fund is a partnership designed to accelerate the end of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics. As an international organization, the Global Fund mobilizes and invests more than US$4 billion a year to support programs run by local experts in more than 100 countries. In partnership with governments, civil society, technical agencies, the private sector, faith-based organizations and people affected by the diseases, we are challenging barriers and embracing innovation.
