Hydropower and geothermal technologies are some of the oldest and longest-standing renewables in use today. In 2011, the total capacity and use of both technologies continued to increase. The two technologies, however, are at very different stages of deployment. By year-end 2011, global installed capacity of hydropower reached 970 gigawatts (GW), roughly 2.5 times greater than capacity of all other renewable power sources combined. By contrast, geothermal installed capacity reached a new high of 11.2 GW as of year-end 2011. While overall capacity continued to increase, consumption growth slowed for both technologies compared to recent years with each growing at reduced rates not seen since the early 2000s.
The majority of geothermal power is found in a select group of countries, although capacity has now been developed in 24 countries worldwide. The United States continues to lead all others, accounting for 28 percent of geothermal power capacity. Beyond the U.S., only three other countries had over 1 GW of capacity installed as of May 2012. Geothermal is increasingly attracting the attention of policymakers and project developers with new projects under development or consideration in an additional 70 countries. Though expanding, geothermal sources accounted for less than 1 percent of global electricity production in 2011.
By contrast, hydropower represents slightly above 6 percent of total primary energy use and 15 percent of electricity production worldwide. China, Brazil, the United States, Canada, and Russia are the global hydropower leaders, together accounting for over 50 percent of all installed capacity. China, Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Canada accounted for 75 percent of all new installations, with China alone representing nearly half of all new capacity added in 2011.
Despite the potential for inexpensive, low-emission power generation, hydropower is not without its significant faults, specifically in respect to the development of large-scale projects. The damming of rivers to create the reservoirs needed for large-scale power generation is severely disruptive, harming both animal and human populations. In many cases, hydropower projects have led to the displacement of local populations and the adverse altering of downstream conditions, while building hydropower plants has its own significant emissions impacts. Despite these concerns, many new developments continue to occur in countries such as Brazil and China, among others.
There are a number of significant benefits associated with the development of both technologies. Small hydropower (SHP) offers similar advantages to larger-scale installations while lessening many of the negative impacts. Furthermore, SHP can be an important tool for expanding energy access.
Likewise, the cost and reliability of generation from both hydropower and geothermal power plants is very competitive with other renewable and non-renewable generation sources. Differing by size and technology, geothermal power can be generated for under 6 cents per kWh, while hydropower generation can be as cheap as 2 cents per kWh.
The reliability of generation provides another unique benefit of each technology, mitigating the variability that plagues certain renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, which can pose a challenge when looking to integrate them within existing power systems. By contrast, both hydropower and geothermal power systems rival fossil fuel and nuclear generation in respect to their potential to provide baseload power, with geothermal power plants operating at capacity factors of upward of 90 percent in certain cases.
Both hydro and geothermal have additional uses besides power generation. Hydro is increasingly being used as an energy storage solution through the development of pumped storage hydropower. Geothermal technologies are particularly well suited to providing renewable heat energy. Geothermal heat installations are in operation in 78 countries, including Iceland, which sources 90 percent of its heat from its geothermal resources. The power and non-power sector uses of both geothermal and hydro technologies are important to the ever evolving global energy sector.

Before we get to the Funbag, one quick note: There will be a book signing on Thursday night in DC at the Dodge City bar at 8pm. I'll be around to get drunk and answer your questions about whether nor not Peter King has ever sent me angry emails (Answer: SORT OF!).
Your letters:
Do you think an elite level QB (Rodgers, Brady, Brees) could put together a productive game if he had to play barefoot? For the sake of simplicity, let's say the game takes place in 75-degree weather on Peter King's magical field in Wichita against the league's last place pass defense. I think a real good QB could slap together 200 or so yards. I have been told this number is way too high. Thoughts?
I think if he were able to magically avoid being injured, Drew Brees could easily pass for over 200 yards while playing barefoot. I mean, you saw what he did on Saturday. The Niners defense kicked the shit out of him all day and he still ended the game with 50,000 yards. He's insane. The only reason he wouldn't have a decent passing day playing without shoes is because he would inevitably get his feet mashed by either his own center or oncoming defensive linemen, who would see his bare hoofers and immediately go all Suh on them. And it hurts getting your foot cleated even when you have shoes ON. I can't imagine the agony of a screw-in cleat being driven like a fucking railroad spike into your uncovered big toenail. I'd scream for DAYS. Stubbing your toe is painful enough. When I stub my toe, I sound like Godzilla being electrocuted. The mere thought of having Justin Smith stomp all over it makes me a complete wreck. I don't think a barefoot QB would survive an entire game.
You know which QB would be really hurt by having to go barefoot? You guessed it: THE JESUS BARON. Where's your triple option now, Godboy?
Do you think NFL players get free Sunday Ticket? Same goes for NHL and NBA for their packages.
Knowing the NFL, not a fucking chance. But I wanted to cover my bases on this, so I put the question to two current NFL players: Redskins TE Chris Cooley and Vikings punter Chris Kluwe. Their names are so close! They should fuck and name their baby Chris Klooley!
Anyway, Cooley's brother Tanner (who acts as his spokesman) wrote in to say, "They do not. They should though." Kluwe's replied similarly: "We do not get free Sunday Ticket. I know this because my wife keeps bitching about how she has to pay for it to watch me play while she's in California."
This morning as I was leaving the bathroom at work I noticed a guy standing at a urinal with both hands clasped behind his back. Not only were his hands clasped, but he was also leaning back and staring at the blank wall like a modern day Thomas Jefferson standing on the steps of Monticello. I think this is one of the classiest things I've ever seen. Besides this move, what are some other ways I can class up ordinary activities?
FACT: You are 40% more likely to clasp your hands behind your back while wearing a suit, and 85% more likely to clasp your hands behind your back while wearing a tux. It's an easy way of looking dignified. I also find that it comes in handy to do this if your wife is taking five hours to get ready to go out to dinner and you have to find a way of restraining yourself so that you don't throw her down, slap some lipstick on her, and scream at her THE DRESS YOU ARE CURRENTLY WEARING IS FUCKING SUFFICIENT FOR GOING OUT IN PUBLIC. STOP FUCKING CHANGING OUTFITS. Best to keep your hands behind your back to prevent that from happening.
My grandpa used to clasp his hands behind his back all the time. That's a big grandpa move. One day, I want to be rich enough to do classy things like wear an expensive suit and sip brandy in my parlor while Chopin plays in the background and my butler, Coleman, prepares fresh crepes right in front of me. If you want to come across as all classy in your daily affairs, or you want to come off as some kind of steampunk fetishist dipshit, I suggest the following ideas:
1. Any time someone asks you the time, pull out a pocketwatch. "Oh, the time? Let me see here... (pulls out pocketwatch on gold chain) THIRTEEN PAST THE HOUR, THE HOUR WHICH IS THAT OF TWELVE."
2. Use a cigarette holder for your joints.
3. Buy a harpsichord and play it when you have company over.
Actually, I'm on the fence...
No waffling here. I'm all in. TWICE.
Do you think the President and the First Lady, or even better, someone who is NOT the First Lady, have ever been walked in on during sex? I feel like it has to have happened before, at least at the heavy petting stage. I just imagine there have been a few times at bedtime where he thinks he is in the clear, then an aide or someone busts in with one last note for the night.
I'm sure aides walked in on Clinton hundreds of times, because Clinton doesn't strike me as the sort of person who would give a shit about discretion. Whenever Clinton got a hardon, he just threw down with whatever happened to be lying around: mistresses, interns, dogs, cats, the ghost of Lincoln, whatever. And if someone walked in on him, then all the better. Only a bigger turn-on. "Okay boys, you got me. Tonya and I was fuckin' in the laundry room again!" Same with Kennedy. I'm sure countless White House workers walked in on JFK getting his knob polished, Clarence Royce-style.
But if we're talking about a presumably faithful, staid couple like the Obamas, I don't think it's as likely. It's not like an aide has clearance to enter the Presidential bedroom without knocking. And that's assuming that the Obamas have even bothered to have sex for the past three years. That's a busy man. He probably faps in the bathroom before bed just to conserve energy. Besides, if I were President, there's no way I'd have sex in the White House. You know damn well that place is bugged, with a live feed going right to G. Gordon Liddy's desktop. No thanks.
UPDATE From reader Tom: "Lady Bird Johnson once walked in on LBJ while he was having sex with a secretary in the Oval Office. Johnson got angry at his Secret Service agents for not warning him that his wife was on her way in. Then he had them install an intercom in there so they could be his lookout whenever he wanted to have sex in the White House. True story."
Why has no one called out Aaron Rodgers for ripping off Freddie Mitchell's "People's Champ" celebration? Or, more specifically, why has FredEx not called out Rodgers? It seems like something he would do. I feel like this would be a good way to make Rodgers do it less and vilify the "Discount Double Check" commercials even more, as if they needed to be, hopefully leading to their extinction, which is the way all things associated with Freddie Mitchell go inevitably.
The best part of that video is the announcer up front who says, "I think Freddie Mitchell, before the end of the season, will be the Eagles' best receiver on this team." I'm virtually certain that it's Matt Millen, which is perfect. Adam would also like to note that Freddie's highlight video was apparently posted on YouTube by Freddie Mitchell himself, which is even better than Jay Mariotti writing his own Wikipedia entry.
The Superman car is just obviously awesome. I'm dying to see it again.
And he's wearing a matching Superman hat! That really ties the theme together. I hope he was blasting the original John Williams movie score on his stereo as he drove by you. Or FLEW by you, I should say.
Do you ever feel like every life decision you've ever made (marriage, home ownership, parenthood, career) was totally wrong? And how do you get past that feeling?
What is your go-to move when peeing in snow? Do you go with the classic 'write your name' or do you get creative and draw, say, a penis? I usually try to cover as much area as possible in hopes someone will walk by and immediately be impressed with my powerful and abundant pissing abilities.
It depends on the depth of the snow. If there's, like, a foot on the ground, I try and hold my piss in the exact same spot for the entire session, so that it bores a deep, deep hole into the snowbank. If you do it right, you can begin to see the surrounding snow become saturated from underneath with your piss, which is hugely gratifying. And the little hole lets out a torrent of fresh steam, like the little onion tower they make in front of you at Benihana. I like it when my peepee goes THROUGH things. It makes me feel like a big man.
By the way, ever write your name in the snow in piss and it ends up looking like your handwriting? Isn't that amazing? Your hand and your penis write EXACTLY the same! Unreal.
I was flipping past The Matrix on TV last night, and made sure to watch the part where Keanu becomes "The One" and bends the Matrix with his pasty awesomeness. When I finish a particularly brutal workout where I've hit that hundredth (or twentieth) pushup, I can picture myself bending reality with my incalculable strength when I stand up. Tell me I'm not the only one.
Of course you aren't. That's half the reason any man joins a gym (the other half being to ogle other women). Even if you aren't a pumped-up steakhead, there's no denying that little moment after you've finished some stupid weightlifting set or you've finished up on a treadmill, where you step off the equipment and sort of stalk around, like you're some boxer who just scored a knockout. LOOK AT WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. FORTY MINUTES AT THE RANDOM SETTING. I like having a towel nearby, so that I can wipe off the hard-earned sweat in front of everyone. LOOK AT HOW MUCH FLUID I EXUDED. There's a reason most gyms are covered wall to wall in mirrors. They're shrines to personal vanity.
By the way, sometimes my gym runs out of disinfecting spray, or those little Purell wipes that you use to wipe down the equipment when you're finished with it. If that happens, it's fair game to leave your sweat all over that shit, isn't it? It's not MY fault that there were no proper cleaning products around. Next gal up in just gonna have to deal with a slippery handlebar on the elliptical.
After throwing an interception, a lot of QB's will express their frustration by...angrily unbuttoning their chin strap. That has always seemed like a remarkably ineffectual way to demonstrate anger, especially for a manly sport like football. Of all the ways an athlete can show they're pissed off at their own failure, baseball seems to have the best: the "break the bat over your knee after striking out" move (copyright Bo Jackson circa 1989). Do you agree?
I do. Frankly, I think it's inhumane that most sports leagues don't give athletes a chance to properly vent their anger after a frustrating play. If you slam your helmet to the ground when you're on the field, you get flagged. And then what does Mr. Asshole Commentator say when it happens? "Hey, you've got to keep your cool ion that kind of situation." Here's my question: WHY?! Why do you have to keep your cool? You just threw a fucking pick in front of millions of people watching on TV. Many of them will be telling you that you suck and rushing to their computers to type DERP into a live blog. You have EVERY RIGHT to be angry. I think you should be allowed to slam your helmet down, or take a basketball and spike it in the center of a court, or give the finger to the crowd. It's a perfectly healthy, rational thing to do.
If you could be a bench warmer in one sport, which would you choose? I think being the 12th man on an NBA team has got being a lefty reliever in baseball beat.
Assuming you'd never see the field of play, I think it's football. I know that the NBA would offer you front row seats in a climate-controlled environment, and that's tough to beat. But take it from a seasoned football benchwarmer: IT'S PRETTY COOL. You get to put on the uniform. You get to go through pre-game warm ups. You get to scream your head off when there's a touchdown. And you get to be on the eight outer ring of the huddle when the team gathers right before the game to shout out ONE TWO THREE WIN!!!! And you don't have to play ANY football! At all! Not bad! Take into account matters of scheduling (only eight road trips a year), and the life of an NFL benchwarmer is considerably less arduous than that of any other major sport.
Of course, the NBA benchwarmer makes more money, so there's that. All I know is that I'd never pick baseball. Sitting in hot dugout with a bunch of white country music fans and the chance of a 180 mph foul ball hitting me in the face? Fuck that.
I was watching the Golden Globes last night. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this show. Is there a better way of knowing you're becoming old and boring?
Nope! I like to watch those award shows and then pretend I'm a member of the Hollywood elite, and that I'm cool enough to sneak out during the majority of the awards presentation to hang at the lobby bar with Clooney and his new squeeze. Then we all hit up Swifty Lazar's party afterward and I'm whisked off to the VVVVVVVVVVVIP section, one of those sections that has a caviar trough and is so fancy that none of the TV nominees are allowed inside. Movie nominees only. Then we all head out to a club afterwards and I take the mic and sing QOTSA covers to a raucous crowd. My night of imaginary starfucking is a BLAST.
So if I'm filling out insurance forms, what do I put down as the value of this in case my house burns down? I mean, the adjustor probably says 'Bo Jackson autograph goes for like 5 bucks on ebay, and NES Techmo Bowl goes for $2.' But this is my childhood copy of the game. I literally cannot think of a price.
"In Philadelphia, it's worth fifty bucks."
My friend has had a lot of unprotected sex with lots of different chicks and has never gotten tested. He insists that he thinks nothing is wrong with his junk and it doesn't sting when he pees or anything so it's OK and he sees no reason to change anything. He's 22 now, what are the chances he's dead by 30?
Minimal, what with the great advances made in HIV medication. But the number of aborted fetuses and angry exes with herpes he leaves in his wake will probably come back to bite him in the ass. It's amazing how willingly men will skip the rubber despite knowing all of the consequences. To me, that says a lot about how bad of a product the condom is. "Hey guys, here is a product that will save your life and eliminate the chance of having a baby momma. Would you like to use it?" The fact that most men would answer FUCK AND NO tells you how far we have to go in terms of STD-protection technology. It's like living in the Stone Age, frankly. We no longer drive horse buggies, but we still have to use condoms? TOTAL FAILURE OF INDUSTRY. There should already be some kind of virtual force field that surrounds your penis, with tiny robots blasting away at any and all herpes cells that it encounters.
Ever sneeze while peeing? THE WORST.
Death From Above:
As the Jerry Sandusky case continues, it gets more and more horrible as time goes on. But I always wonder how the parents/siblings of the ones molested have to feel too. Finding out that, without realizing it, you were sending little Johnny into one of the most horrible situations possible because you were wrong to trust someone. As a parent, how do you think you'd feel? I'd put my feelings at somewhere between murderous rage at the "Sandusky" and being suicidal for unwittingly allowing this to happen.
I can't even imagine what it's like for the parents of Sandusky's victims. Obviously, there would be that initial feeling of rage and murderousness. But remember, one victim's mom already confronted Sandusky and essentially got him to admit it to her face. Did she kill him? No. She probably wanted to. I bet she still lingers on that moment every day, fantasizing about stabbing him in the face, perhaps wishing she had had the nerve to retaliate. But underneath all that rage is not only the feeling of guilt (I let this happen), but also complete and utter helplessness (I had no way of preventing this).
For example, take a look at this article about a woman who defriended her rapist on Facebook. First of all, JESUS CHRIST! Secondly, here's a woman who was gang-raped when she was just 13 years old when she hung out with some friends one night. Imagine being a parent and having something awful happen to your kid. It would be horrible to think that you could have done something to prevent it, but it's even more disturbing to think that there WASN'T anything you could do about it, that you could be the perfect parent and yet there will still be times when your children will be left vulnerable to the scum of the fucking earth. That's not a particularly comforting feeling, knowing that all of this is a matter of chance.
I remember I was talking to my dad about something once, and he told me he was worried about me. And I was like, "Dad, I'm 27 years old (or however old I was at the time), you don't have to worry." And my dad was like, "Yeah, but just because you're older doesn't mean I stop worrying about you. You never stop worrying." And it's true. Being a parent means spending the rest of your life with crossed fingers. I read Michael Lewis' book The Big Short, which is a great book if you feel like hating the fucking world. And one of the people profiled in it is a man named Steve Eisman. Eisman lost a child when the kid was just a baby, and his wife said this about the death:
"Steven always thought he had an angel on his shoulder... After (the baby's death), the angel on his shoulder was done. Anything can happen to anyone at any time."
That last sentence is the dagger. Either you make it through life with that angel on your shoulder, or fate intervenes and it goes away. I dread that.
Would you rather have 80% of your body covered in 3rd degree burns (genitalia/face escapes the burning), or have the face from Mask (Cher version)? On one hand, every minute of life is either spent in physical pain, but on the other side is complete mental anguish.
The Mask face. As someone who has dealt with chronic pain, trust me: You don't want it. If someone came up to me and was like, "Listen, I have a deal for you. You'll never suffer from back pain again, but I have a tattoo Guy Fieri's face onto both of your cheeks," I'll take Fieri. Chronic pain is THAT bad, even more so if we're talking about severe burns. Plus, if you're the Mask guy, you never need a Halloween costume. That would come in handy.
Saw this on my commute to work the other day. There is a message in there somewhere.
Yes, and that message would be, "Do not drive close to me." Ever see a really shitty car out on the road and make a concerted effort to not go anywhere near it, just in case there's a methhead behind the wheel who would think nothing of ramming his shit car into your own? I do. I practice car profiling all the time. I am car RAYCESS.
I snapped this at the Indian grocery store near me. Do you think this movie takes place in some kind of alternate universe where, instead of being the greatest villain in history, Hitler is actually civilization's greatest hero?
I think something probably got lost in translation, which is too bad, because I'd much prefer thinking that there's some inexplicably burgeoning strain of Nazism in certain remote sections of India.
Also, I took a moment after looking at this picture to Google the phrase "Nazi porn." And wouldn't you know it? There is, indeed, Nazi porn out there. Now I know what Jessie James does in his spare time.
People love Tebow not because he's religious, but because he's a young, white religious man. The media tries to spin it so that it comes across like it's all about his piety but there are TONS of black NFL players who have been "Tebowing" and thanking God and Jesus and all that. I'd say in general athletes are one of the more religious professions as a whole.
Of course his race has a lot to do with the attention he gets. White rednecks see Tebow running around out there and they're like, "Loogit! We have our Michael Vick!" He fulfills the fantasy that you can be a white guy playing QB and be just as elusive as someone like Vick. I think Tebowtards also like the idea that Tebow is persecuted for his style of play (not to mention his religious beliefs). It lets them co-opt all the old stereotypes of black QBs and use them for themselves. So to sum up: If you root for Tebow, you are RAYCESS.
What things that are a regular part of our lives are the most likely to completely disappear within 10 years, a la VHS tapes or beepers? My money is on movie theaters.
Movie theaters will still be around because plenty of people still like seeing movies on a really big screen, even if it means paying too much money and sitting next to a bunch of retarded strangers. I think the thing that will most likely disappear within the next ten years is the school textbook. That shit has to give way to e-readers at some point. HAS TO.
Email of the week time.
Quite literally 2 minutes ago I walked out of a bathroom at room, after a nice dump, and saw a guy laying passed out in the hallway not 30 feet from me. I stopped and stared for about 5 seconds, noticing probably 6 or 7 people stare at him at close range and then walk off, doing nothing. So I ran over and woke the guy up, he had apparently fainted while filling up his water bottle. He was sweating profusely, stammering and asking what time it was. After a minute or so of me making sure he wasn't dying, a guy ran over that happens to be a volunteer paramedic and he took the guy to see the nurse. Am I a hero, or do I work at a terrible place full of bad people that will probably let me die someday?
You aren't just a hero. YOU'RE HERO HITLER.

S'mores and peanut butter sandwich
I've been thinking about this for a long time, but then I couldn't eat solid food and before that I didn't have any Fluff or Nutella. ne of my favorite foods is a toasted bagel with peanut butter on it, then you put it back in the toaster for 30 seconds to get the peanut butter all melty. Be still my heart! This is a cross between a bagel with melty peanut butter, a grilled cheese, and s'mores.
This is not a healthy sandwich, and would be more of a dessert thing. Or maybe a special occasion lunch. I could even see sneaking bananas in here. Or maybe some crumbled bacon. Oh boy.
S'mores and peanut butter sandwich
2 slices of gf bread
peanut butter
Nutella (or other chocolate spread)
Fluff (or other marshmallow spread)
Heat up a small pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Flip both slices of bread, and spread one slice with peanut butter, and the other with Nutella. Carefully spread Fluff on top of the chocolate layer, then smoosh the peanut butter slice of bread on top. Place your sandwich in the pan, and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until well toasted on both sides. Eat, but make sure you have plenty of napkins!

Evil! That's what this is - evil! I can so imagine it with peanut butter, bananas, and fluff. Mmm.....ReplyDelete
My goodness you are killing me here. But, I LOVE IT! The banana is a great idea. Sliced apples in the middle for a slight crunch would also be good. The watery goodness of the apple might even help quench the thirst the rest of the ingredients will spark. But, maybe your mouth isn't ready for apples yet. Yumm....ReplyDelete

Well.. I must keep this idea for when I find Fluff and Nutella!ReplyDelete
Sounds sooo delicious!!
This is very well the most decadent PB sandwich I've ever seen. I so want a bite of that. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link your glorious sandwich up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/02/sweets-for-saturday-4.htmlReplyDelete
Would be great using Almond Butter and bananas too - for those who don't tolerate peanuts.ReplyDelete
This is amazing, my daughter and I were just talking about making Smore's tonight using GF bread! Thank you for the recipe!!!ReplyDelete
That looks delicious!!! Great idea! Do you know if Fluff or nutella are dairy free?ReplyDelete
Mmm, Nutella. That is some good looking #gfree bread! Is it from a bakery? It looks much more appealing than the gf breads I used to purchase.ReplyDelete

Samsung Launches Teaser Site for Galaxy S III
Samsung Launches Teaser Site for Galaxy S III
Samsung is set to generate more media buzz for its hotly anticipated Galaxy S III with a countdown timer on the teaser site.
According to Android Community, the teaser site, tgeltaayehxnx.com, is made up of the sentence, "The Next Galaxy". In addition, a look at the page source reveals the following quote:
"Discover how Samsung is about to challenge the way you view the GALAXY once more."
While Samsung has kept much of the Galaxy S III under wraps, Amazon Germany might have jumped the gun with a pre-order page for the phone going live before its official launch in London on the 3rd of May. The device is listed with the following specs and price:
- 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
- 12-megapixel camera with LED flash
- 16GB internal memory

Most of the specs mentioned are in line with what was reported in a video leak last week except for the screen size and camera. The alleged device is mentioned to be equipped with a smaller 4.6-inch display and an 8-megapixel camera module.
Whatever tricks that Samsung has up its sleeves at the end of the countdown timer on its teaser site remains a mystery. Stay tuned for more updates as we will "take the next step" with Samsung in about ten hours.

Early adopters of FireEye's advanced threat detection platform are choosing a layered approach to detecting custom malware and so-called advanced persistent threats, say solution providers. Firms are investing in products that specialize in network analysis, malware inspection and endpoint behavioral analysis vendors, said Dan Thormodsgaard, vice president of solutions architecture at FishNet Security. FireEye and other emerging vendors are part of that strategy, he said.
FireEye recently rolled out a new data center appliance and threat detection for Android devices. The company released earnings data last week, beating financial analyst estimates for the quarter. In a wide-ranging interview with CRN, FireEye CEO Dave DeWaltr and the company's new channel chief, Steve Pataky, addressed the company's go-to-market strategy, the product road map, and the ecosystem of services and third-party integration being built around the advanced threat detection platform.

Every weekend hundreds of youth venture into caves and caverns seeking the excitement that we experience. Most go caving safely and with respect for the life and geology that we cherish and preserve. But there are some that don't. It's not because of arrogance as much as it is about ignorance. The youth that I have talked to understand and develop an appreciation for what lies beneath their feet. They want to become the type of caver that the NSS would be proud to call a member.
The NSS Youth Group Liaison Committee (http://www.caves.org/youth) is in need of longer arms to embrace these youth and their youth group leaders. We are in need of cavers who believe our youth are our best investment in our future.
The following positions need to be filled.
There is no Regional Coordinator for the Western Region which includes California, Oregon and Nevada. http://caves.org/youth/westernregion_rc.shtml
There is no Regional Coordinator for the Arizona Regional Association. http://caves.org/youth/ara_rc.shtml
There is no Regional Coordinator for the Northwest Caving Association which includes Idaho and Oregon. http://caves.org/youth/nca_rc.shtml
There is no Regional Coordinator for the Texas Speleological Association . http://caves.org/youth/nca_rc.shtml
If you are interested in filling one of these positions or would like to recommend someone, please contact me, Allen Maddox, at email@example.com.

There are obvious rules you must adhere to when in another country—and this drunk Brit just broke one of Japan's most well-known. Instead of shuffling along and ignoring campaigning political parties' megaphone announcements like everyone else, he grabbed the megaphone and shouted something drunken about how loud and irritating the megaphones are.
Arrested he may have been, but turns out his cheeky performance resonated with the Japanese, who used his message to speak up about how friggin' annoying they are. Messageboards and comment fields are brimming with supportive messages for the Brit, saying things along the line of "let's forgive him, they really are loud" and "Japanese elections don't make any sense. Instead of shouting their names from sound trucks, they should have American-style televised policy debates."
I doubt this one sozzled Brit, Edward Jones, managed to change Japanese politics overnight, but if he manages to dissuade at least one megaphone from starting up on the streets, then it looks like everyone's a winner. [Itai News via @Hikosaemon via JapanProbe]

Happy Friday friends!
I was up early this morning and went for a swim in the near-by ocean pool - the water was so warm and lovely! After the swim I had a quick green juice of kale, celery, cucumber and lime and then headed to the markets. I was in for a treat this time, as one of the stalls was selling some gorgeous fresh amaranth! Normally I would use amaranth seeds like quinoa or millet, but fresh amaranth can be used as a whole in salads and stir-fries, in much same way like spinach. Truth be told I prefer the whole amaranth to just the seeds, there is just so much flavour in the actual plant. It can be a bit of a rare treat to find fresh amaranth, but if you do, please make sure to buy and try some!
This simple lunch salad doesn't need any fancy'ing up. The amaranth is the main player here and other ingredients mere onlookers. A handful of left-over quinoa, some toasted walnuts and shallots with a little lime juice and olive oil drizzled on top is all you need.
Have a lovely weekend!

Even though Reese Witherspoon hasn't publicly acknowledged her pregnancy, she's no longer trying to hide her baby bump with loose fitting clothes. This will be Reese's first child with husband Jim Toth.
Drew Barrymore is also not speaking publicly about her growing belly. I actually like this latest trend. Let's all pretend I'm not having a baby even though it's obvious I am. Being pregnant isn't anyone's business until you want it to be. I wish Drew would deny being pregnant until the baby is born. How funny would that be?
I'm sure you've all heard by now that Brad Pitt finally asked Angelina Jolie to marry him. I know a lot of you aren't fans of the duo, but I love them both. I love them as actors and humanitarians. Brad worked on the design for a year with jeweler Robert Procop. I'm sure Angelina loves it, but I don't. I can appreciate the fact that it's different though.
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are also expecting. Paquin and Moyer first met in 2007 when they started filming True Blood. They were married in 2010. This will be Anna's first child and Stephen's third. Oh, I just love these two together. Bill + Sookie forever!
Speaking of True Blood, Alexander Skarsgard aka Eric Northman is reportedly hooking up with Charlize Theron. HOT COUPLE ALERT! A source close to Charlize says things aren't serious and he hasn't met the baby yet. So, it sounds like they're just banging. Either way, I give this pairing the hotpants™ stamp of approval.
TV legend Dick Clark passed away at the age of 82. I can't remember a time when Dick Clark wasn't on my tv or radio. There was American Bandstand, Pyramid, the American Music Awards, and the American Top 40 just to name a few. I can't forget TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes hosted by Dick and Ed McMahon. Man, I loved that show. And then there's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Various people have pointed out that Dick's passing is even more proof that the Mayans were right. No Dick Clark on New Year's Eve 2012? The world must certainly be ending.

I received the following via e-mail (from my boss ~ a really great guy!) a few weeks ago and just found it again ~ so bizarre I have to share.
This really works ~ what amazing brains, cognitive and visual systems we humans have!!!
Follow the following steps to discover an amazing image ~
1) Stare at the red dot on the girls nose for a full 30 seconds.
2) Turn your eyes to a plain surface on your wall or ceiling.
3) Blink repeatedly and quickly.
Isn't that the coolest thing!!!
Have fun with this and of course pass it along.
What you should see is a full color representation of the image as your retina/brain processes the negative image. Our visual system is constantly processing input and can fool us or create illusions from retinal or cortical processes…
Please visit webvision.med for the full explanation of how the human visual system works in a case like this ~ most interesting!

...Well, where do I start in describing this incredibly unique electric guitar. I can not think of any other that comes near the unusual build or sheer sexiness of this instrument. It was clearly way ahead of it's time. I have nicknamed her `The Bat'Leth" because the body has a striking similarity to the Klingon battle weapon in Star trek.
I was left this guitar by an old neighbour of mine in his will, where I used to live in Bristol. I had always admired it whenever round his house and had asked many times if it was for sale but he always said no.
His name was Brian Laney. He worked for the R&D department of an English guitar company but I have been racking my brain for several days and have never been able to remember the name of it. Though I believe they were Bristol based. I have no idea if they even still exist. The guitar was handed to him on his retirement.
The guitar was a prototype built by Brian circa 1965 in order to assess the musical qualities of different materials. Needless to say it is a One Off. Completely unique. It is left handed, though I remember being told that it can easily be converted by unbolting everything and swapping everything over the other way round.
From what I remember being told, the body and neck were made from an aircraft quality alloy, the head being wood. It has a Spruce-Ply Back, stained blue, which is attached to the body by bolts. There is a gap of about 5mm between the back & the front which I have tried to show in one of the pictures. The whole guitar is only about an inch thick.
The main alloy body is about 10mm thick and was cut, shaped and finished entirely by hand. The bottom front point is removable, I assume to suit your mood (see Picture 5). Brian had a sense of humour.
At the rear, the neck is attached to the body by another alloy plate, thus making an extremely rigid structure. Indeed, this guitar will sustain for Britain. The wood back serves no structural purpose whatsoever.
It seems there used to be a cover of some sought on the back of the neck. The neck itself was `hand carved` and shaped from alloy. The head is wood with what seems like a clear plastic backing and chromed tuners. I don't know if these are original or not.
The nut appears to be graphite. The pickup is a humbucker but I have no idea of the name or model of it. There is the facility to fit 2 single coil pickups but I don't think this has ever been done.
Amazingly, the guitar only weighs 9 lbs, the same as a Gibson Les Paul, though I am sure a pound or two could be saved by changing the bolts to alloys.
I have plugged it in on many occasions and she can certainly sing, though my rendition of `Smoke On The Water` hardly gives her justice. I'm only a poor drummer, so no talent then?
It comes with it's own custom cable as the body is fitted with a `canon` connector. A normal 1/4" mono jack is at the other end.
The guitar is fitted with strings but their age is unknown. I have cleaned her a little bit, though not to much as I don't want to destroy the Patina of the past 45 years.
The volume pot could either do with a clean or replacing (cheap to buy), as it's a bit crackly when turning, though she happily pumps out the decibels.
One word of warnng. If you intend to emulate Pete Townsend, beware that you will probably destroy the stage, not the guitar as she is incredible strong.
I have no idea as to value, so have started the bidding at 99p and see where it goes from there...

The Book of the Diner is well worth preserving. I only wish it had reached a broader audience when it might have mattered more. That is a testament to the blindness of our culture. If there is a future to look back from, one difficult question historians will have to ask is how we let this happen, when so many saw it coming. This site has certainly aggregated enough information and critical thinking to prove that.[/b]

i commented a little on the digital photography revolution earlier on this blog (see the posts labeled digital photography). although it is still laborious enough, at least now i can achieve full-colour photos in much the way i want them to be. i'm not overly ambitious as a photographer, but the medium is rich and i love to take pictures and transform them into something `more'.
some years ago i spent quite some time on a photographers' forum (now closed) and what surprised me was the general disdain for the use of photoshop. as a visual artist, i guess my perspective is a bit freer. i see photoshop as one of the many tools which i can use in achieving a certain image. and in my opinion, (photo)realism is vastly overrated.
we artists can (and therefore often should) explore new worlds. we don't all have to be revolutionaries, but why keep on producing same old same old imagery year after year after year? granted, new imagery takes time and effort. but new windows on our world is our business, as far as i can see...
in this work, abstract composition plays the central role of course. a cooperative tension between figuration and abstraction often meets what i'm searching for.
i quote from a digital photography revolution post:
Not only will this result in a massively larger quantity of good work being produced but, I suspect, a huge difference in the type of work produced. The idea that photography could finally enter the same century as painting in terms of philosophical outlook rather than lagging a hundred years behind excites me greatly. The influx of trained visual artists into photography can only be a good thing.

In sorting through volumes of email, Ol' Myrt got wind of the 1841 census index and images FINALLY going online. SO I went to: http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ and discovered the following:
From: http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?1263
We are delighted to announce that, in addition to the 1851, 61, '71, '81, '91 and 1901 census records, the indexes and images for the 1841 Census for Scotland are now available online at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
There are a small number of districts that are missing or empty and these are listed in the help section.
In addition, St Kilda was missed out of the 1841 census. There is some dubiety as to whether it was forgotten about, or that the Census Regional Manager at the time simply couldn't be bothered traveling out there. However, we have transcribed a page that was later stapled into the volume "Census of Scotland - 1841" and tells the tale of St Kilda being missed out of the 1841 Census."
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)

Giddiness is a state of mind. Right now, I have several endeavors causing me to feel giddy. Among them is a new awards program I'm readying to launch in 2012. The idea for this program came to me a while ago. We even had a #gtchat about various possible aspects of the social responsibility program geared to inspire gifted, talented, and creative students from all over the world to use technology and ideation for social good.
You may remember we tossed around several potential names for the program, including "Seeds for Social Good" and "Technovisionaries." It wasn't until today, though, that I decided to move forward. I was reading Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose by Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. With rapt attention, I devoured chapter after chapter and learned about Hsieh's various entrepreneurial endeavors and how the name Zappos came to be (means "shoe" in Spanish with an extra "p" to avoid mispronunciation). Something clicked inside me and made me realize the time for this program is now. Since Ingeniosus means "talented and able" in Latin, I realized I already had a name.
The "Your Move" Ingeniosus Awards Program will commence in 2012, and planning is already underway. The global awards program will be housed on the Ingeniosus Web site. Stay tuned for a video announcement in mid-December and the official announcement in January.
This program will combine the best of 21st Century Learning, visionary thinking, entrepreneurial prowess and support, and socially responsible missions. I'm currently lining up judges, mentors, and sponsors for the "Your Move" Ingeniosus Awards Program, and yes, I'm giddy about the prospects.
Here's to a satisfying year of igniting bright young minds with bursts of inspiration to benefit our collective futures!

Beach Hair: 3 Ways
Beach season is in full swing which means that beach hair is the only style that you should be hassling with. If you still haven't mastered the beachy waves, braids, buns or pony, fret not, as I've called on eco-stylist to the stars, Jamal Hammadi, to offer up his simple tips on three summer hair staples. With clients like Kristen Bell, Kirsten Dunst, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, Hammadi knows a thing or two about effortless styles that accentuate the beauty of gorgeous hair.
Here are his beach hair how-to's:
1. Beachy Texture: "My all time favorite beach look is the "I just stepped out of the ocean and let my hair air dry." I live for that wavy texture. If you don't plan on actually getting into the water you can achieve the same look with the Hamadi Shea Spray. Not only is it great for that beachy texture, it also protects your hair from the sun with a natural sun protectant in the shea butter. An added bonus, you can spray it on your skin for a boost of moisture and some SPF from the Shea Butter.
2. Undone Pony: Another great beach look is a loose, undone pony. The beach is all about relaxed luxury. This pony is all about texture! If your hair is naturally curly, I would blow dry damp hair smooth with a round brush. To add a tiny bit of texture, apply a dab of Hamadi Shea Pomade to palms of hands, flip the head over, and mess the hair up with the product. Then gather hair into a mid pony allowing pieces to fall out around the neck and face and secure with a hair tie.

[Maale Adumim, West Bank; July 12. Image via Getty]
MAALE ADUMIM, WEST BANK - JULY 12: English volunteer Hattie Miall shows her hands after preparing a mud floor in a school that Italian architect Valerio Marazzi is constructing out of old tyres and mud for children of the Jahalin Palestinian Bedouin tribe on July 12, 2009 in the Judean Desert near the Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim in the West Bank. As long as the Israeli army does not demolish the structure, which is being built without a permit by the Italian non-governmental organization Vento di Terra ('Wind of the Earth'), the children of the tribe's three encampments on the road between the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem will finally be able to attend classes without having to make the long and dangerous journeys to Jericho or Azariya. During the last two years, four children from the nomadic tribe have died on the dangerous paths and roads while the others have lost many school days due to poor road conditions, blockage of access roads by Israeli security fences, and the inability of the poverty-stricken families to pay the transportation costs.

Alleged White House gate crasher Tareq Salahi has filed for divorce, saying his wife has run off with the lead guitarist for the rock band Journey.
Tareq Salahi filed paperwork Friday in Warren County, Va., claiming his wife, Michaele Salahi, was having an affair with Neal Schon. He also claimed in the court filing that Schon e-mailed him an obscene picture.
Court documents say the "Real Housewives of DC" couple had a prenuptial agreement, but the terms were not specified. The couple was married on Nov. 1, 2003, accourding to paperwork filed Friday.
U.S. & World
Neither Tareq Salahi nor his attorney returned messages seeking comment. In court papers, Tareq Salahi accused his wife of flaunting her affair to the world. He said there was no hope or possibility of reconciliation.
He reported his wife missing and possibly kidnapped Tuesday, but authorities found out she was in Memphis with Schon.
"I swear to God, I'm missing my wife and I just want to … this is not a joke," he said Tuesday before his wife's location was announced.
The couple gained notoriety in 2009 when they crashed a White House state dinner.
This weekend the couple's winery, Oasis Vineyard, is having a liquidation sale of items belonging to the vineyard. But Tareq Salahi reportedly said the actual vineyard is not up for sale.

Pennsylvania's governor ended his fight Wednesday to stop same-sex marriage in the state, allowing a growing number of couples to proceed with their wedding plans with greater peace of mind.
A federal judge on Tuesday struck down the state's same-sex marriage ban, and Gov. Tom Corbett announced Wednesday that he would halt his court fight because "the case is extremely unlikely to succeed on appeal."
The governor's decision means that same-sex marriage will remain legal in Pennsylvania, without the threat that a higher court will reinstate the ban.
U.S. District Court Judge John Jones III struck down a 1996 state law banning recognition of gay marriage, calling it unconstitutional. One widow, 11 couples and one couple's teenage daughters had sued. Their lawyers said it is extremely unlikely that another party would be allowed to appeal it.
Corbett's decision goes against the Republican governor's personal beliefs. He opposes same-sex marriage and supported thus-far unsuccessful efforts to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage. In October, he took heat for comparing the marriage of same-sex couples to the marriage of a brother and sister.
"As a Roman Catholic, the traditional teaching of my faith has not wavered," Corbett said in a statement. "I continue to maintain the belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. My duties as governor require that I follow the laws as interpreted by the courts and make a judgment as to the likelihood of a successful appeal."
Corbett, who is seeking re-election this year facing poor public approval ratings, has sought in recent months to move to the political center and away from staunchly conservative positions on several hot-button issues.
At an unrelated public event in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Corbett declined to discuss the decision beyond the statement. He said he has personal feelings about the issue, but "I'm going to keep it to myself."
Pennsylvania is the 19th state to recognize same-sex marriages and the last northeastern U.S. state to do so. Hundreds of gay couples rushed to apply for marriage licenses after Jones' ruling Tuesday.
At least one couple even got married.
On Wednesday, about an hour before Corbett revealed his decision, Pamela VanHaitsma and Jess Garrity of Pittsburgh were married in front of a district judge, said their lawyer, Sam Hens-Greco.
Pennsylvania requires a three-day waiting period before a couple with a marriage license can wed, but Hans-Greco asked a county judge to waive it, he said. The judge did and they got married right away.
A suburban Pittsburgh couple, Stephen Miller and Jim Devaty, plan to get married Tuesday after more than two decades together. They applied for their license online Tuesday after Jones struck down the law.
"I'm in shock," Miller said Wednesday. "In a way, I never thought I'd live to see the day when Jim and I could get married."
They'll crack a bottle of champagne they've been saving and plan a gathering for family and friends. They're not sure where yet, but their son, 6-year-old Aiden, suggested the backyard.
"We're anxious, we're excited," Miller said. "It's been almost 24 years that we've been together. We're excited to make it legal."

I hadn't been covering the Evil Dead remake rumors and counter rumors going around for the past few days, because people have been talking about that sh*t for like 10 years now and it usually amounts to less than my life up to this point. But that was before a fairly official-sounding press release from Ghost House went out. It announced that Diablo Cody was re-writing a script by Rodo Sayagues and Federico 'Fede' Alvarez, the latter of whom is set to direct. Honest to blog, it's true. Are you jeally? Anyway, it was exciting news for me, because I went to high school with at least four guys named "Federico Alvarez."
Sam Raimi and original producing partners Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell (who also starred in the original franchise) are gearing up to remake their cult sensation THE EVIL DEAD through their long standing Ghost House Pictures partnership. Raimi and Tapert were such instant fans of Fede Alvarez's short film "Panic Attack" that they set up a blind deal with the filmmaker and through that process have attached Fede Alvarez to write and direct the film. Alvarez wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues. Academy Award® winning screenwriter Diablo Cody is currently doing revisions on the draft. Ghost House is committed to renewing the franchise and has the film on the fast track.
Raimi wrote, directed and, along with Tapert and Campbell, produced the original horror classic THE EVIL DEAD that tells the story of five twenty-something friends who become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead. An archaeologist's tape recording reveals that the ancient text was discovered among the Khandarian ruins of a Sumerian civilization. Playing the taped incantations, the youths unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival. THE EVIL DEAD spawned a franchise with the equally successful installments EVIL DEAD II and ARMY OF DARKNESS. [PressRelease via /Film]
I think it goes without saying that nerds are going to be pretty pissed about this one, and for good reason. Why do you need to remake a horror film? That sh*t is the easiest thing to write in the world. A girl gets possessed by a demon. Some kids get eaten by killer piranhas. There's a mutant alligator, and it's really big. A couple adopts a baby, and it turns out to be a secret dwarf hooker. You can't take five seconds and come up with something new? If I want to see a modern take on a Sam Raimi movie, I'll watch Drag Me to Hell.

When I saw the picture of this dish in Ken Hom's Hot Wok cookbook, I thought I just gotta make one like it. The combination of chicken and broccoli I definitely cannot resist. But you know how it is with Ken Hom's recipes, you have to tone the saltiness way way down. I wonder if he has any kidney problems?
The very first time I cooked this it was sooo salty that me and my husband were not able to continue after a few spoonfuls. So this time the patis is reduced to a third, oyster sauce and soy sauces reduced as well and I eliminated the salt. Perfect!
Broccoli Chicken
500 g boneless chicken thighs - cut into 1-inch pieces
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 medium onion - quartered
2 Tbsp rice wine or cooking wine
2 Tbsp water or chicken stock
3 medium tomatoes - quartered
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 Tbsp patis (fish sauce)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp sesame oil
450 g broccoli - cut into small florets
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp patis (fish sauce)
1 tsp light soy sauce
cornflour - for dusting
- Marinate the chicken meat in the black pepper, patis, and light soy sauce for about 30 minutes.
- Drain meat from marinade and roll the pieces in cornflour, shaking off excess.
- Mix the oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Boil or steam the broccoli until just cooked. Immediately plunge in cold water. Drain thoroughly.
- Heat a wok with the cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the meat pieces until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Drain off all the oil. Heat the wok again and add 1 Tbsp oil. When it is hot add the garlic and onion. Stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add the broccoli and continue to stir fry for 1 more minute.
- Add the rice wine and water and continue to stir fry on medium-high heat for 4 minutes.
- Stir in the oyster sauce mixture and the tomatoes. Continue to stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken and stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until the chicken is heated through.
- Dish up to a warm platter and serve at once.

During the submission process, authors are asked to declare that the manuscript has been seen and approved by all authors. Submission also indicates that authors agree to abide by BiO's publishing policies, including the declaration of any competing interests to the journal on submission of a manuscript.
BiO uses the CRediT Taxonomy to define author contributions to primary research papers and requires that the independent contributions of each author be provided during online submission. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure that contributions are agreed on by ALL co-authors prior to manuscript submission. Please refer to journal policies for further information on our authorship policies.
BiO offers advance online posting of articles on its Accepted manuscripts web site, which is updated weekly, and issues are published monthly online. It is also possible to post the accepted author manuscript within one week of acceptance. Please contact the Editorial Office if you wish to take up this option.
We support the Think.Check.Submit. initiative.
Online submission
New manuscripts
BiO is committed to making submission as easy as possible for authors. As part of this commitment, BiO offers format-free submission.
At first submission, authors are not required to format their manuscript according to journal guidelines. However, for the benefit of reviewers and editors, we do encourage authors to make their manuscripts as easy to read as possible by using appropriate line spacing, line and page numbers, and ensuring that figures are clearly numbered and/or accompanied by their legend.
At submission, you will have the opportunity to list any reviewers that, because of conflicts of interest, you would prefer not to review your article. (Note: reviewer exclusion is at the discretion of the Editor.)
For new submissions, we recommend that you submit your paper as a single PDF file that contains all the necessary text, figures and tables.
Our submission system converts submitted files (PDFs or individual files) into a PDF file for the review process. The corresponding author must check and approve the PDF to complete the submission process; if there are problems with figure resolution, please contact the Editorial Office.
During the submission process, you will be asked to provide an email address for each author and suggested reviewer. When providing a non-institutional email address (e.g. gmail), an ORCID identifier is also required. Papers submitted using non-institutional email addresses and without ORCID iDs will require additional verification steps, which may cause delays. All corresponding authors are also required to submit an ORCID iD and it is best practice to use an ORCID iD to identify each author.
As a service to our authors, and to facilitate rapid dissemination of research results, BiO offers two-way integration of our manuscript submission system with the bioRxiv preprint server (operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) – avoiding the need to re-enter information or upload files in multiple submission systems. During submission to BiO, authors can opt to deposit their article in bioRxiv through a simple one-click process. In addition, authors depositing a manuscript in bioRxiv can transfer their paper directly to BiO through their transfer portal. Once deposited in bioRxiv, either directly or through our deposition portal, the unrefereed manuscript will become free for anyone to read almost immediately and cannot be removed, regardless of the editorial decision made at BiO. It will be citable with a bioRxiv DOI, its usage can be tracked, and it can be updated. Please ensure that all co-authors agree to preprint deposition before uploading or transferring to bioRxiv. Consideration of your manuscript for review and/or publication by BiO is not influenced by whether you choose to post it on bioRxiv.
Revised and accepted manuscripts
For revised submissions and accepted manuscripts, please provide all the necessary text and figures as individual files.
For more information on suitable file formats, please see our manuscript preparation and figure preparation guidelines. Authors working in LaTeX can download and use our template.
All revised manuscripts should adhere to our manuscript preparation guidelines and authors should complete and submit our submission checklist with their manuscripts. This form asks authors to confirm that they have followed best practice guidelines regarding experimental subjects, data reporting and statistics. The checklist is based on the NIH Principles and Guidelines for Reporting Preclinical Research and is intended to help ensure high standards for reporting and to aid reproducibility.
To help you meet your funder requirements, you will be asked to provide details of all funding sources from ALL authors. Please provide the full official funding agency name as listed on the Crossref Funder Registry, and all relevant grant numbers. See our manuscript preparation guidelines for more details.
Please note that revised manuscripts will be treated as a new submission if they are not submitted within 3 months of the date of the initial decision.
For more information on the types of articles that can be submitted to BiO, please visit our Article types page.
Transfer option
Papers rejected from Development, Disease Models & Mechanisms, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology and eLife can be transferred to BiO, strictly with the authors' approval, for editorial consideration.
For authors who originally submitted to Development, Disease Models & Mechanisms, Journal of Cell Science and Journal of Experimental Biology, there is a simple one-click manuscript-transfer option in BenchPress should their paper not be accepted. Under this service, any existing referees' reports from the original peer review can also be passed to BiO, again with the authors' approval, for a more-rapid publication decision. Where necessary, additional peer review may be undertaken.
There is no need to reformat the article or resupply manuscript information.
We encourage authors to transfer their manuscripts to BiO following editorial rejection or rejection after peer review. The criteria for acceptance at BiO are very different. Editors and Reviewers are asked to confirm that the experimental work is properly conducted and that the conclusions are adequately supported by the data. We do not require any assessment of the potential impact of a paper. The transfer of any existing reviews – even if negative – usually enables a rapid decision to be made without the need for further review, as this may help the BiO Editor to identify simple revisions that would allow a paper to be accepted (average time to first decision of 10.5 days for articles transferred with reviews).
For authors who made their original submission to eLife, please click here for more information. BiO also accepts the transfer of peer review reports from submissions to other, non-Company, journals.
Article Publication Charge
To provide Open Access, the costs of publication in BiO are partially covered by charging a subsidised fee to the authors or the research supporters for each accepted article. This Article Publication Charge (APC) is $1595 (plus VAT if applicable). The true cost of publishing in BiO is higher, including costs relating to quality peer review; support for academic editors; plagiarism and image manipulation checks; text and figure checking; layout; and online hosting, dissemination and archiving. APC fees are set in three currencies, US dollars, pound sterling and euros, and do not follow the constantly changing exchange rate. This means that authors are not adversely affected by fluctuations in their local exchange rate.
BiO has a small budget for the complete or partial waiving of publication charges for authors in developing countries and others in genuine financial hardship. Corresponding authors based in the countries listed here will be granted a full waiver upon application. Funds for waivers are limited, however, as the journal would not be sustainable without income from author charges to cover its costs. Payment requests will be sent to the corresponding author following acceptance of their paper.
The decision to publish a paper in BiO is wholly independent of payment or ability to pay, and is based solely on the validity and supportability of the work detailed in each manuscript. Editors and reviewers do not have access to information regarding authors' financial contributions. BiO is published by the not-for-profit publisher The Company of Biologists, a charitable organisation run by scientists to support the research community.

As hard as it was to pick the first book to review, I couldn't resist one of my newer additions to the collection – The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook (UK Edition).
Friday had a hint of autumn in the air so it seemed like a perfect day to do some baking. As it turned out I only made one recipe on Friday so continued baking yesterday which wasn't as much fun – baking (literally both the cake and myself) in 30 degree weather isn't such a good decision. Thankfully the results of both days more than made up for it!
The hummingbird bakery was opened in Portobello Road, London, in 2004 by Tarek Malouf and is home to the most delicious cupcakes, cakes, pies, brownies, bars, muffins and cookies. This book is a beautiful insight into the bakery and includes the recipes of all of the delicious baking they have to offer.
The cookbook is one of those rare books I have where I want to make every single recipe in it! I'll admit I'm not much of a baker although I am trying to do more baking and have realised the only way to become good at it is to keep practising!! What a disaster – lots of fresh baking in the house!
I started on Friday with the hazelnut and chocolate cupcakes. Since I have such a sweet-tooth just now I couldn't resist a recipe that included Nutella in it. I followed the recipe for the cakes exactly (a rarity for me!) and baked them for the suggested 20 minutes, which turned out to be perfect - the sponges were light and airy and as described in the recipe, bounced back slightly when touched. I thought it might be a bit of a pain hollowing out the centre of the cakes to fill with the Nutella but it was easy using a teaspoon and took no time at all. Perhaps my only comment would be that some of the cakes crumbled and fell apart a little when I did it - and I was being gentle! After filling the cakes with a spoonful of Nutella (I didn't bother to measure the Nutella out at this point, I just put as much as I could fit in each little centre) I topped them with the hazelnut and chocolate frosting. Despite icing them what I considered to be generously, I still had a lot of icing left over – probably almost half, and that was after adding a little extra to each cake. The end result was delicious – a light and moist chocolate sponge with a gooey Nutella centre and a not too sweet frosting, finished with a welcome crunch of hazelnuts. I have to say with the Nutella in the centre, I definitely didn't need the additional frosting and in future would probably make only half of the suggested quantity.
Saturday was on to the blueberry cake – perfect for this time of year when there is a glut of fresh, local blueberries available. Again I followed the recipe exactly for making the sponge however I had to bake the cake for 20 minutes longer than the suggested 40. It was worth the extra wait however, as I ended up with a beautifully moist and light sponge cake studded with popped blueberries. As with the hazelnut and chocolate cupcakes I did have some extra icing left over, however you definitely do need to double the recipe for this one and after cutting the cake, I perhaps could have been a little less stingy with the icing! Served with a cup of tea this cake was absolutely delicious and would be perfect for feeding to a crowd.
Having already made the vanilla cupcakes in the past (with great success) and now the hazelnut and chocolate cupcakes and the large blueberry cake, I would without any hesitation make all three recipes again (and indeed plan to!), they will just have to wait as there are too many other recipes I want to try first. My sights are set on making the lavender cupcakes; Brooklyn blackout cake; lemon bars; banana loaf; pecan pie; rocky road bars……..the list goes on!
With easy-to-follow recipes and beautiful photography this book is a must buy for any budding baker, the only problem will be deciding what to make first!

The Academy Awards may be five months away (136 days for those counting), but movie buffs are already buzzing, and tweeting, their early Oscar predictions.
And with 2010 introducing a new era of 10 Best Picture nominees -- as opposed to the standard five -- there are even more open spots to buzz and tweet about.
One film with chips stacked in its corner is Clint Eastwood's "Invictus." The Best Picture hopeful, slated for a December release, examines Nelson Mandela's first term as president when he rallied support to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Morgan Freeman plays Mandela and is a sure-shot for a Best Actor nod, as is Matt Damon for his supporting role as rugby champion Francois Pienaar.
If film festival honorees are any indication of what to expect on Oscar night, Lee Daniels' "Precious" may garner several statues. The feature, based on the novel "Push," follows an illiterate, overweight, poverty stricken teen as she copes with an abusive mother and a history of rape.
"Precious" has already taken top honors at the Sundance and Toronto International Film Festivals, and its leading ladies Mo'Nique and Gabourey Sidibe are receiving heavy praise. If positive word of mouth isn't enough, industry titans Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have signed on as executive producers to ensure this indie juggernaut gets its chance to shine.
Speaking of indie standouts, Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" has been generating buzz since hitting theaters in July. The gritty action-drama about an Army bomb squad is off to a promising start — on Monday it led the pack of Gotham Independent Film nominations with nods for Best Feature, Best Actor and Best Ensemble Performance.
In addition to projected first-time nominees, including Carey Mulligan's lead actress performance in "An Education," several Oscar veterans are likely to return to the Kodak Theatre on March 7, 2010.
Previous winners George Clooney ("Up in the Air") and Daniel Day-Lewis ("Nine") are frontrunners for a Best Actor nod. Meryl Streep ("Julie & Julia"), Hilary Swank ("Amelia") and Judi Dench ("Nine") are also vying for another golden man to place on their mantle. Then we have the dark horses -- which with ten Best Picture nods, don't seem so dark anymore. "Up," "Where the Wild Things Are," "Away We Go" and "Avatar" are just a few of the underdogs that may make their way onto the ballot.
This is just the initial buzz. Expect Oscar talk to heat up as studios continue to churn out their most promising award hopefuls, such as Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones" and Jim Sheridan's "Brothers," and campaign for Oscar gold.
And let's not forget the razzle-dazzle of A-listers hitting countless red carpets leading up to Hollywood's biggest night. The Golden Globes, the SAGs, The Independent Spirits, the Critic's Choice… let the award season begin.
"The Hurt Locker"
"Up in the Air"
"Julie & Julia"
"Where the Wild Things Are"
"Away We Go"
"The Lovely Bones"
"Invictus" (not available)
