WAG Hosts Memorial for Murdered Manitoba Women
The Winnipeg Art Gallery in partnership with the Family Violence Consortium of Manitoba will host the 8th annual Silent Witness Project Memorial on Wednesday, April 9, from 11:30am to 1pm. Each of the 19 life-sized silhouettes in this exhibition represents a Manitoba woman who was murdered by her intimate partner. In each case, the woman's partner has been convicted of the murder or both have died in a murder/suicide. A single silhouette represents women whose partners' cases are still before the courts or who have not yet been charged. Because these women no longer have a voice, the silhouettes are called the Silent Witnesses.
During the Memorial, speakers will address the issue of domestic violence and the families in attendance may speak about their lost member. A light lunch will follow.
The Memorial is funded by National Victims of Crime Awareness Week and is presented by the Family Violence Consortium of Manitoba. Domestic violence is a major social concern in our society and the mission of the Silent Witness Project envelops ideas of remembrance, awareness, and action against this violence. It also raises awareness that help is available through the numerous agencies of the Family Violence Consortium.
This event is held in conjunction with the WAG exhibition Off the Beaten Path: Women, Violence and Art, continuing until April 20.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is a cultural advocate – a lens and forum – helping people see and experience more through art. Playing a vital role in the community, engaging and enriching people of all ages and backgrounds through art and culture, the Winnipeg Art Gallery thrives as a creative, innovative, and accessible place for learning, discovery, and inspiration.

Data centers touch all our lives. Businesses rely on data centers to house mission critical information and run operational initiatives across the organization.Today's largest data centers feature state-of-the-art technology, operation rooms spanning thousands of square meters, and are required to hold billions of pieces of customer and business information. As demand for cloud services increase these centers comprise tens or sometimes hundreds of thousands of servers, multi-petabyte storage systems and increasingly are situated in locations where cheap energy is plentiful.
In pictures, here is an inside look at ten of the world's largest data centers.
Microsoft's Quincy Washington Data Center
The recent NY Times data center technology slideshow illustrates in photographs just how impressive data centers are and how important they are to our day-to-day lives.
As servers become more powerful, more kilowatts are needed to run and cool them. Data centers worldwide now consume more energy annually than Sweden.

Opened in late 2009, the first phase of development includes the ground floor designed to hold up to 56 containers, each filled with anywhere from 1,800 to 2,500 servers. (Source)
Inside Facebook's Data Center
Facebook's data centers store more than 40 billion photos, and users upload 40 million new photos each day – about 2,000 photos every second. Via Data Center Knowledge, "Not surprisingly, the racks are packed."
1&1's Data Center
Via InformationWeek, 1&1's data center is in Lenexa, Kansas, just outside Kansas City, the second largest railroad hub in the U.S. Five server rooms hold 860 racks and can accommodate at least 40,000 servers.
Inside a Google Data Center
Awarded a patent on a portable data center modeling in October 2008, Google's data center features a "container hanger" filled with 45 containers, holding up to 1,160 servers each, and uses 250 kilowatts of power. Referred to as Data Center A, it spans 75,000 square feet and has a power capacity of 10 megawatts. (Information courtesy of Data Center Knowledge)
San Diego Supercomputing Center
Via NetworkWorld, San Diego Supercomputing Center's new building features cool concrete exteriors, special windows treatments and windows that actually open. This image illustrates how by using robotic virtual tape libraries, SDSC is able to reduce energy costs.
Building a Data Center in 26 Weeks
Digital Realty Trust builds data center facilities all over the world. This photo gallery on Flickr provides a look at its data center construction process for their site located at 1201 Comstock in Santa Clara, California.
Who are we missing? Surely companies like Amazon and eBay should be on this list, though we had trouble verifying the authenticity of data center images found online. We'd love to hear about data center images and links we missed via the comments below or send Wikibon a message on Twitter!
Update – March 26, 2010
This came in from the back channel.
Recovery Point's Multiple Miles of Chiller System Feeds
This is a shot of some of the miles of chiller system feeds that sit under the raised floor of a Recovery Point data center used to host dense blade servers. The design and construction has achieved Uptime Institute's Tier III level certification and provides a redundant and concurrently maintainable infrastructure. This means that the servers never have to come down for maintenance, and the infrastructure can be maintained while the chillers are still running.

Guides suggest ways to avoid gun violence
WASHINGTON -- A new government guide gives this recipe for dealing with an "active shooter situation" at an elementary school:
"There are three basic options: run, hide or fight," the guide says. "If it is safe to do so& the first course of action that should be taken is to run out of the building and far away until you are in a safe location.
"If running is not a safe option, hide in as safe a place as possible. Students and staff should be trained to hide in a location where the walls might be thicker and have fewer windows."
Hide along the wall closest to the exit but out of view, barricade the doors with heavy furniture, silence all electronic devices and remain silent, instructs the guide, one of three volumes the White House released Tuesday on how schools and places of worship can prepare for emergencies such as the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The books delve into some touchy topics such as informing family members of a victim's fate and the privacy of a student's health records.
Vice President Joe Biden, in announcing the three guides, said they have been individually tailored for schools, institutions of higher education and houses of worship and represent the "best practices'' as culled by federal agencies and state and local institutions.
He said the guides were written after federal officials met with "more than 100 experts & to come up with "what you think are the best practices, the most concrete recommendations that you could give us that will enable us to teach or prepare or lay out a menu for the school districts and churches."'
Biden said individual institutions should consult the guides and work with police and first responders in designing their plans.
Publication of the three guides, ranging from 38 to 87 pages, comes as the White House gave itself a report card on President Barack Obama's promise in January to take administrative actions that he said would reduce gun violence. Biden said 21 of 23 executive actions have been completed or that major progress has been made toward that end.
"For example, we've strengthened the existing background-check system,'' he said, by spending $20 million to provide incentives to states to share background-check information with the federal gun database, the key to the existing requirement that federally licensed firearms dealers conduct background checks on would-be gun buyers. Biden said there were "several million names'' in state records that had not previously been logged into the federal system.
Another example was work by the Department of Health and Human Services to examine federal privacy laws that may prevent states from sharing "appropriate data'' with the federal background check system.
The vice president said the Affordable Care Act -- "I call it Obamacare" -- expanded mental health insurance coverage to 62 million people.
But Biden said Congress must act to extend background checks to all commercial gun purchases. The Senate defeated legislation in April but Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is expected to take up the bill again later this year if he is assured of winning the 60 votes needed for Senate approval.
Biden said the "country has changed'' in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings. He said the massacre brought a "fundamental change in the political calculus&You will pay a political price for not being engaged in gun safety,'' he warned.
Biden was introduced at the White House unveiling of the guides by Steven Barton, 22, of Southbury, Conn., who was wounded in the July 20 mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., while on a cross-country bike ride with a buddy. Barton now works for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the advocacy group formed in 2006 by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, both Democrats from Connecticut, praised the administration's actions and predicted that Congress will approve expanded background checks on all commercial gun transactions.
Blumenthal said the three guide books represent "very specific, concrete things that will make a difference in real life.''
Murphy said the actions reflect persistence and commitment on the part of the administration.
"A lot of people questioned whether the administration would keep its foot on the accelerator," he said. "Clearly, it has.''
Murphy also said he thought both Obama and Biden had been "emotionally changed by Sandy Hook,'' as both leaders have visited Newtown and met repeatedly with family members of victims.
Also in the audience were Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Reps. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., chairman of the House Democratic Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention, and Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., as well as state Rep. Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives.

I hope a few experienced knitters join this so beginners or people like me who just are very slow and not that good at knitting have someone to ask questions if we get stuck.
These are the patterns I thought are not too difficult. They are rated two yarn balls (one is easy, two is medium and three is advanced), the one yarn ball pattern in this book is a scarf, the other one a wrap, which I have chosen as one of the styles to chose from.
These are the options:
The Evening Wrap
Tube Top and Bolero
Small Jacket

Quinn Signs Gun Law on Background Checks and Reporting Firearm Thefts
Illinois gun owners who fail to report the theft or loss of a weapon will face tougher restrictions under a new law signed by Gov. Pat Quinn.
The law beefs up background checks and requires firearm thefts or losses to be reported within 72 hours.
Quinn signed the bill Sunday at a South Side Chicago park where police officer was fatally shot in 2010. The Chicago Democrat says the restrictions are common sense and will help crack down on crime.
Democrats State Sen. Kwame Raoul and state Rep. Mike Zalewski sponsored the bill. It's also supported by Chicago Police Chief Garry McCarthy.
The requirement to report thefts goes into effect immediately. The background check changes start next year.

We're going to start creating a simple plasmoid in this tutorial, to keep things simple we will only create a static plasmoid, it will contain the following items.
Every Plasmoid needs a .desktop file to tell plasma how they should be started, and what name they carry.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Tutorial 1
Comment=Plasma Tutorial 1
X-KDE-Library=plasma_applet_tutorial1 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=Bas Grolleman firstname.lastname@example.com X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=plasma_applet_tutorial1 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=0.1 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Website=http://plasma.kde.org/ X-KDE-PluginInfo-Category=Examples X-KDE-PluginInfo-Depends= X-KDE-PluginInfo-License=GPL X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=true
The most important bits are the X-KDE-Library and X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name, they are the paste between your class and plasma, without it, nothing will start. For X-KDE-PluginInfo-Category, refer to the PIG.
This is the example header file, I will add lot's of comment's in the code to explain everything.
// Here we avoid loading the header multiple times
// We need the Plasma Applet headers
// Define our plasma Applet class PlasmaTutorial1 : public Plasma::Applet {
Q_OBJECT public: // Basic Create/Destroy PlasmaTutorial1(QObject *parent, const QStringList &args); ~PlasmaTutorial1();
// This function returns the size of your applet QRectF boundingRect() const;
// The paintInterface procedure paints the applet to screen void paintInterface(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget =0); private: Plasma::Svg m_tutorialTheme; KIcon m_tutorialIcon;
// This is the command that links your applet to the .desktop file K_EXPORT_PLASMA_APPLET(tutorial1, PlasmaTutorial1)
The boundingRect() function tells plasma the actual size of the plasmoid, this is important because we need to know how much space is taken on screen.
|If you have issues with your plasmoid leaving pixels behind when dragging this is almost always a result of a incorrect boundingRect()
You could call this the main function, since this paints the plasmoid on screen, here you define how you want your plasmoid to look.
This is a small but very important part, this links your classname to the applet name in the .desktop file, if your applet doesn't seem to be loaded than chances are there is a difference between this and your .desktop file
|The K_EXPORT_PLASMA_APPLET adds "plasma_applet_", please pay attention to this when setting up your .desktop file to avoid a name difference
Here is the body of the function, again with a lot of comments in between.
PlasmaTutorial1::PlasmaTutorial1(QObject *parent,
const QStringList &args) : Plasma::Applet(parent, args), m_tutorialTheme("widgets/background", this), m_tutorialIcon("document")
// First we create the objects to hold the icon and // background image // TIP: Read the section about setDrawStandardBackground(true) // m_tutorialTheme = new Plasma::Svg("widgets/background",this); // m_tutorialIcon = new KIcon("document"); // Tell the Plasma/Svg object to use the whole image, instead // of parts of it. m_tutorialTheme.setContentType(Plasma::Svg::SingleImage); // A small demonstration of the setFailedToLaunch function bool Armageddon = false; if (Armageddon) { setFailedToLaunch(true, "No world to say hello"); }
PlasmaTutorial1::~PlasmaTutorial1() {
if (failedToLaunch()) { // Do some cleanup here } else { // Save settings }
QRectF PlasmaTutorial1::boundingRect() const {
// In this tutorial we use a fixed size return QRectF(0,0,128,128);
void PlasmaTutorial1::paintInterface(QPainter *p,
const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget)
// Now we draw the applet, starting with the background m_tutorialTheme.resize(boundingRect().width(), boundingRect().height()); m_tutorialTheme.paint(p, boundingRect().left(), boundingRect().top());
// We place the icon and text p->drawPixmap(20, 0, m_tutorialIcon.pixmap(boundingRect().width() - 40)); p->save(); p->setPen(Qt::white); p->drawText(boundingRect(), Qt::AlignBottom+Qt::AlignHCenter, "Hello Plasmoid!"); p->restore();
As you can see in the example code where using the Plasma::Svg object, there are some important things to note here.
First we're using a relative path widgets/background which causes Plasma::Svg to use Plasma::Theme to locate the SVG data. While Plasma::Svg does support loading arbitrary files when passed an absolute path, use relative paths from the theme as often as possible as it makes Plasma skinable and the individual plasmoids look like a combined whole instead of a group of separate unrelated applications. You can see a list of available image components on the Plasma Theme page.
Next, note how we set the content type of the SVG object to Plasma::Svg::SingleImage. This is actually the default so technically we didn't have to set it manually. It tells the SVG object that the what we have loaded is a single image in the file.
The alternative option, Plasma::Svg::ImageSet tells Plasma::Svg that there are multiple individual images in the SVG file. For instance, one might use this method to store a deck of cards in one SVG file. This is useful since we only require a single SVG file to hold all the images.
In either mode, Plasma::Svg can be used to draw a subset of the SVG file by passing it an element id that appears in the SVG document. As a good example, if you open the clock.svg file that ships with the default theme, you will see that it has a background, 3 handles (hour, minute and seconds) and a foreground (the glass). Due to the ability to put all the elements in one file the SVG file shows a clock. This is much nicer for artists compared to editting 5 separate files that they have to imagine on top of each other, and much nicer for performance as only one SVG renderer and one file read from disk is necessary.
In this tutorial we are drawing our own SVG background. Since this is a common function there is a much faster and easier way of doing it. By adding setDrawStandardBackground(true) to the creation function the default Plasma background image gets placed behind your plasmoid. We will use this function instead of doing it by hand in the following tutorials.
If for some reason, the applet fails to get up on its feet (the library couldn't be loaded, necessary hardware support wasn't found, etc..) this method returns true. Using this function gives your application a chance to cleanup before quiting.
When your application is unable to start, this function allows you to inform Plasma and give an optional reason why. If your plasmoid becomes more complex and depends on multiple factors this is the nicest way to cleanup.
Finally, to put everything together you need to build everything, to tell cmake what needs to go where there is the CMakeLists.txt file.
For more details on CMake please read Development/Tutorials/CMake

Sharon Osbourne is convinced Justin Bieber is at a "dangerous" point in his career as he appears to be teetering on the edge of self-destruction.
The singer's bad-boy antics have dominated the headlines in recent weeks and he was back in the news again on Monday when Canadian border patrol police found marijuana and drug paraphernalia on a bus related to his tour.
Bieber has also been accused of spitting from a hotel room balcony, feuding with his California neighbors, and urinating in a mop bucket in a New York City restaurant.
Rock matriarch Osbourne has now waded into the debate over Bieber's highly publicized troubles, and she is convinced the 19-year-old is trying too hard to reinvent himself as a tough guy.
She tells Thedailybeast.com, "I feel really bad for him. There's this little kid with a huge dream, he's cute, girls love him, and he wants to be a mean boy, and he's about as mean as a [bleep] kitten, and he's trying to act out. It's like pissing in a bucket. It's like, 'Oh, we're the bad boys!' [Bleep] off! You don't know what bad is."
Osbourne concludes the star could easily fall from grace and lose the career he has worked so hard to build.
She adds, "I think that he's lost, I really do. I think he doesn't realize he's white and not black, that's a huge problem. And, at the point he's at in his career, it's so dangerous because we've seen it all before a million times. Where do you go when you're a child entertainer and then you want to transition to be a man? Very few make it."
Osbourne's outburst comes as a representative for Bieber addressed allegations he was caught on camera spitting off his hotel balcony in Toronto earlier this month, insisting the star was not deliberately aiming at a group of fans below. The spokesman tells Usmagazine.com, "Justin didn't spit on anyone. No fans were below the balcony."

Microsoft plans to shed thousands of jobs in a major reboot to focus on its fast-growing cloud-computing business.
"Microsoft is implementing changes to better serve our customers and partners," Microsoft said in a statement to USA TODAY. "Today, we are taking steps to notify some employees that their jobs are under consideration or that their positions will be eliminated. Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time-to-time, re-deployment in others."
The software giant did not specify how many jobs would be cut. When asked about cuts during a conference call, Microsoft President Brad Smith had no comment Thursday morning.
The restructuring largely affects the software giant's sales operations outside the U.S. under chief marketing officer Chris Capossela, executive vice presidents Judson Althoff and Jean-Philippe Courtois. All three executives on Monday notified employees of a reorganization, but did not mention layoffs.
The reshuffling comes a year after Courtois and Althoff were promoted to lead Microsoft's global sales and marketing efforts following the exit of former chief operating officer Kevin Turner.
Disappointing sales of Microsoft's Surface computer line — they plunged 26%, dragging down PC sales 7% — undercut fiscal third quarter results, announced in April. Cloud sales, by comparison, nearly doubled.
The Redmond, Wash. company's profits overall soared 28% to $4.8 billion. Sales surged 8% to $22 billion.
Strong cloud-based sales made up for the drop in PC revenue, making good on Althoff's pledge for Microsoft's Azure cloud-computing service to be the centerpiece of the company's sales strategy.

Love & Hip Hop New York's Erica Mena is a delusional diva. Her middle name should be drama!!! This time around, Erica parked herself in a situation that quite frankly could hurt her.
Erica Mena a Scorpio girl is now at odds with a very popular radio personality Angela Yee from "The Breakfast Club" on New York's top radio station Power 105.1. According to several reports, Angela Yee posted a link on Twitter of a snippet of Erica Mena's debut single "Fantasy." In the tweet Angela proposed the question "What ya'll think of Erica's singing"?
Angela's Twitter fans began throwing shade at Erica after they heard the snippet. People on Twitter began serving haterade on Erica left and right. So of course, Erica took notice to her mentions on Twitter, and realized what had happened.
Erica tweeted " You really need to be asking what people are going to think when I slap the blood out your face." In a retweet to Somaya Reece, a former cast member of Love & Hip Hop New York season one, Angela tweeted "You hear this teacup Chihuahua." What?
Erica Mena is known for taking things to another level, no matter the situation. So she took her Twitter beef to Angela's radio job!! Erica posted pictures of herself in front of Angela's job wearing sweat pants, and football face paint, carrying a box of donuts with insults written on the box.
Angela Yee spoke exclusively with TheYBF, saying Erica didn't say a word to her as she walked into work.
"I hope she gets the help she needs. I walked past her and company this morning into my building, and didn't even pay any attention to the cab sitting out front. She didn't say anything to me, and I didn't even realize it was her until she posted pictures on Instagram holding doughnuts and wearing football makeup" said Yee.
As Erica continued her ridiculous Twitter rant, she tried to insult Angela's business deal with Belvidere."E Money feeds the hungry! Your breakfast is waiting @angelayee ! #SponseredByCiroc F**k Belvey Lmfao @angelayee is real hungry in the Am's. Talking about me & My SON so I decided to come bring her some breakfast today!!" Erica tweeted this in response to Anglea sending her a tweet, which said "Its 6:04a.m do you even know where your son is"? Yo Erica, have a seat girl!
Apparently, Angela a Capricorn chick put Miss Mena on blast according to one of Erica's tweets. "Damn this chick that she shook just asked Power 105 to ban all #Loveandhiphop cast from the building! Smh think before you talk about some1 kid. Smh I was being nice too, I just brought the bitch some donuts ! LMFAO."
Ok, this chick Erica Mena is beyond childish. You're going show up to a Radio Personalities job to confront her over a snippet of your song that she tweeted out? Which obviously did not get a good response, so you're mad at Angela for that?
Now if Angela Yee really did make sure that Power 105.1 ban all Love and Hip Hop's cast members from being at the station, you Miss Erica Mena just damaged the platform for the rest of castmates. Power 105.1 serves as a major platform for all entertainers, and music artists to get a chance to get themselves noticed, and to promote whatever it is they have.
Not a very smart move on your part Erica. Angela Yee is known in NYC, and I'm pretty sure she has everyone in the city on her side for this one. This Erica chick is definitely creating her own downfall. Maybe Hot97 Radio in New York will entertain Erica, because she sure can't use Power 105.1 anymore. I wonder what her boo Rich Dollaz thinks about all of this. This is the chick you're supposedly about to marry? Good luck girl! ——Giselle follow me on Twitter!

Ara T. Howard's DRYer Acts As Taggable
I would say it is. First, there's two acts_as_taggables out there - only one is a plugin. Only one's by DHH. However, if you google it a little bit, you'll find that the one by DHH was really only intended as demo code for polymorphic associations. 37 Signals initially used it in Highline and then threw it away because it was too big to be useful. Koz from Rails core has stated in a forum that it shouldn't be used in production code at all - and yet it's the de facto standard for tagging in the Rails community. Maybe due to hero worship, maybe due to tangled lines of communication, but it's out there in production code all over the place, and it shouldn't be.
Anyway, I haven't played with this new, improved alternative yet, but I think it's definitely worth a close look if you need tagging for your Rails app. Check it out here.
2 comments:
The prevalence of acts as taggable even to this day still, is sad and unfortunate proof that alot of modern day programmers, rails programmers especially are just advanced "cargo culter's" smashing together alot of things not knowing how or why they work.ReplyDelete
A better solution is use a polymorphic lib like HMP and then grow out your own suite.
Polymorphic relations are simple but its the little extras in HMP that make them beautiful.

UNIONDALE, N.Y.—The Pittsburgh Penguins bounced back from their home disappointment and dished out their fair share to the suddenly shocked New York Islanders.
All it took was Sidney Crosby and a very powerful power play to do the trick.
Chris Kunitz scored his second man-advantage goal of the game 8:44 into overtime, off the third assist of the day by Crosby, and the Penguins rode a slew of ups and downs Sunday en route to a 5-4 victory over the Islanders that gave top-seeded Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.
The Islanders came in still enjoying the positive effects of their 4-3 comeback win on Friday in Pittsburgh that gave them a surprising split of the first two games of the Eastern Conference series.
The Penguins will try to take a commanding 3-1 lead Tuesday on Long Island.
Crosby, playing his second game after missing a month because of a broken jaw, drew the decisive penalty against Brian Strait, who held the Penguins captain as he drove the net 33 seconds before the winning goal.
"He kind of wrapped me up," Crosby said. "I pulled up looking for someone. I didn't see anyone so I thought I would take it to the net.
"We were hoping we could get it done quickly."
The Penguins went 3-for-5 on the power play and yielded Kyle Okposo's short-handed goal, but held New York scoreless on its three advantages.
"We had our chances. They scored on the power plays and we didn't," said Islanders coach Jack Capuano, who declined to comment on the officiating. "You always talk about special teams being a big factor, and that was the difference."
When New York scored twice in the first 5:41 to go up 2-0 in Game 3, old Nassau Coliseum rocked as it did in the Stanley Cup-winning days of the early 1980s. However, this was the Islanders' first home playoff game since 2007, and the fans were soaking it all in.
Not so fast.
The Penguins stormed back with a pair of power-play goals 19 seconds apart — first by Jarome Iginla on a 5-on-3 advantage, and then by Kunitz on the second half. When Pascal Dupuis gave Pittsburgh its first lead with one minute left in the opening period — capping the three-goal spurt in 5:42 — the early euphoria was gone in a flash.
"You have to give them credit. They got up two and they showed no quit," said Iginla, a key late-season trade pickup by the Penguins. "It meant a lot on the road to get those two back.
"There is a lot of emotion, unpredictability in the playoffs. You have to learn to control that."
Douglas Murray pushed Pittsburgh's lead to 4-2 in the second, and it appeared the Penguins would cruise. But it was a bumpy road back to regaining home-ice advantage against the upstart Islanders.
It was tough enough for the Penguins to erase their own deficit, but squandering a two-goal lead in the third period is certainly out of character for one of the Stanley Cup favourites.
Pittsburgh took the series opener 5-0 on Wednesday, but since then has been dealing with an inability to hang on. Allowing two goals in the third period led to a loss Friday. Pittsburgh led that one 2-0 and 3-1 in the first period.
"There was a lot of emotion in this game. They really came after us," Kunitz said.
Okposo, who had a game-turning fight and game-winning goal in Game 2, started this comeback with a short-handed goal that made it 4-3 at 5:31 of the third. John Tavares tied it with 9:12 remaining in regulation with his first NHL post-season goal in his third game.
"I'm not worried about our hockey team," Capuano said. "We've bounced back all year. I know the resiliency of these guys and the way they've battled."
That was good enough to clinch eighth place in the East, but the Islanders will likely have to find something extra in a hurry to make this series a long one.
After Strait took down Crosby in overtime, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma used his timeout to rest his power-play unit, and it paid off. Crosby fed Kunitz in the slot for a hard shot that beat goalie Evgeni Nabokov to win it.
Evgeni Malkin added two assists, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 32 saves for Pittsburgh.
Matt Moulson and Casey Cizikas scored 3:58 apart in the first period for the Islanders.
Tavares got the party restarted with his late tying goal. Tavares, who had his first assist in Game 2, is rounding into form after being held without a shot in the series opener.
"I thought the D was sitting a little deep, so I didn't want to challenge him wide," Tavares said. "I just tried to give a little hesitation, use him as a screen a bit. I was just happy I was able to get a really good shot off. I got a lot on it."
Tavares was serenaded with chants of "M-V-P" when he scored and after the goal was announced to the crowd.
The Penguins started their comeback and cut the deficit in half when Iginla deflected in Kris Letang's hard one-timer, off a pass from Crosby, past Nabokov on Pittsburgh's only shot of the two-man advantage. The Penguins needed only one more drive to get even.
Malkin sent a pass from blue line to blue line to Kunitz, who streaked in alone on Nabokov and snapped a shot inside the right post at 13:37.
"With the 5-on-3 they got back in the game," Nabokov said. "It seems like every time we go down two men we don't win hockey games. We have to find a way to stay out of the box as much as possible.
"I thought other than that we played really well."
The derisive chants directed on Fleury along with the deafening cheers by the home crowd were soon replaced with nervous words of encouragement for the Islanders.
It didn't help.
Crosby showed off his exceptional passing skills again after he surged into the right circle. Crouched down, putting his weight toward his backhand side, Crosby deftly eluded a defenceman and slid the puck in front to the hard-charging Dupuis, who crashed into Tavares — covering late — and shoved the puck in to give the Penguins a 3-2 edge.
"It's great to see him back, making all those plays," Kunitz said of Crosby.
After being badly outshot early, the Penguins closed the gap to 13-8 in the period.
Clearly buoyed by their first-period comeback, the Penguins raced up ice time after time in waves. It finally paid off with 2:50 left in the second, less than four minutes after Capuano used his lone timeout.
Malkin flung a pass from the middle of the right wing boards in the New York end back to Murray, who took a hard drive from above the left circle that sailed past Nabokov to make it 4-2.

WASHINGTON — Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein says the Senate Intelligence Committee is drafting legislation to limit the National Security Agency's access to U.S. phone and email data in an effort to win back public trust following disclosures about widespread domestic surveillance.
The California Democrat and the committee's ranking Republican, Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, say their proposal would limit the NSA's access to phone records and the length of time the records are kept, and prohibit collecting a call's content.
NSA would have to report every time it uses the database and the number of leads it generates to additional surveillance or an FBI investigation.
The NSA director would also be subject to Senate confirmation.
The systems have been under scrutiny since a former NSA analyst disclosed details about classified surveillance programs.

When I awoke, I could tell by the light coming through the shades it was either 5:30 a.m. on a fair day or 6 a.m. on an overcast day. When I looked at the clock, it was 5:35.
When I awoke, I could tell by the light coming through the shades it was either 5:30 a.m. on a fair day or 6 a.m. on an overcast day. When I looked at the clock, it was 5:35.
As expected, the day rolled out under a cloudless blue sky. With morning light to tell me all I need to know about the time, the clock is just clutter on the nightstand.
Even when the bride has one of her frequent appointments, we still rely on my internal clock to get us on the road on time. Neither of us wears a watch anymore, and the clock in my truck is an hour fast.
Unless the mood strikes me to change it, the clock will next be correct at 2 a.m. March 10. We did change the clocks on the stove and the microwave on time, but did not change the one on the nightstand until a couple of weeks ago.
Those of you who have to clock in at work or drop off children at school may deem my loose regard for the exact time unseemly, but pay it no attention. You are the ones who keep the trains on time. I am the one who whittles and nods on the trackside bench.
Years ago, when I had to report for duty at 3 a.m. just as often as at 8 a.m., all my clocks were always right and my military watch with glowing hands stayed synched to the second.
I was flying from a base in Alaska, where it was light at all hours in summer and dark at all hours in winter. Unable to judge the time by the sun, I relied on timepieces, as everyone did, to regulate my life.
Later, when I was a student, teacher and reporter, I still wore a watch, but adopted a more relaxed attitude toward time. Sometime in that period, my nephew gave me a "California watch" and suggested I wear it instead of a watch, as he did, to relieve stress.
It was a bracelet loosely woven from strands of yarn — orange, yellow and black. It symbolized freedom from arbitrary constraints, such as time set by the government instead of the sun. I wore it for some time and still have it.
I think I may start wearing my "California watch" again, or ask my nephew for his. He now has a job that requires he wear a watch, even if it is an iPhone glued to his hand.
We are losing daylight every day, and I may not be able to tell time by window light as Dec. 21 — the winter solstice — grows near. On that date, we will start to gain daylight again. That is, unless the rumors surrounding the Mayan apocalypse should prove true.
By a widespread theory, the Mayan calendar predicts Earth will cease to exist on that date — probably from a collision with a giant space rock. Experts say this is a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar and NASA says no space object is on track, as it would be by now, to come anywhere close to earth.
We hear frequent pronouncements of when time will end — usually from doomsday preachers — but they have to keep revising their calendars after each last day passes into the next.
Convinced the world will end on the solstice, some people will probably do crazy, even fatal things in the next month. I do not hear any countdown clock clicking, so I expect to be around for Christmas. I have waffles to make.
For many, sunrise after the shortest day of the year is the time to celebrate the return of light after the dark with the solstice. It is a secular rite, but a spiritual one. I cannot join the pagans and druids at Stonehenge or the audience at St. John the Divine in New York, but I will try to visit both by radio and TV. I regard solstice celebrations a fitting prelude to Christmas, and I will stay up past my bedtime to watch them. But if I have stayed up too late, I may not sense by the next day's morning light when it is time to get up and make coffee.

ASTM E8 Tension Testing of Metallic Materials
ASTM E 8 describes tension testing methods to determine yield strength, yield point elongation, tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area of metal products. It applies to metallic materials in any form, including: sheet, plate, wire, rod, bar, pipe and tube. For each of these specimen types, the standard defines suitable geometries and dimensions, requiring specific gripping solutions that are critical to performing a successful test. The most common types of specimens are rectangular and round. Rectangular plate specimens have a reduced area section with a 1.5-inch width and a nominal thickness of 3/16 inch or more. Sheet rectangular specimens have a reduced area section of 1/2 inch and their thickness should not exceed 3/4 inch. Subsize specimens with a 1/4-inch width can be used for material thicknesses up to 1/4 inch. When the material has a thickness of a 1/2 inch or more, round specimens can also be used. The most common specimens have a 1/2-inch diameter and are typically used for cast and wrought metallic materials.
For testing rectangular type specimens we use a variety of mechanical wedge action grips, including manual, pneumatic and hydraulic, with flat serrated faces. In the case of round specimens, we suggest using vee-serrated or threaded faces, dependent upon the geometry of the specimen ends. To test fine wires we typically use pneumatic cord and yarn grips that appropriately distribute the load in a long section of the wire to avoid brakes in the clamping zone. Improper preparation of specimens is often the reason for unsatisfactory test results. In order to ensure accurate and precise test results, specimens should be machined carefully.
To guarantee accurate results, our series of Universal Testing Machines meet or exceed the accuracy specifications requested by ASTM E 8. Bluehill® 3 Software provides standard functions to perform tensile tests easily and accurately. For more complex test requirements that require changing the rate at different points or for specific stressing or straining rates, we recommend using the Bluehill Metals application module. This module also allows us to calculate results such as yield point elongation, and upper and lower yield as directed by ASTM E 8.
We offer a range of extensometry solutions for tensile testing of metals. Our extensometers meet or exceed the accuracy classifications by ASTM E 83. When performing strain measurements, such as the strain corresponding to the yield strength, we typically recommend our 2630 series of axial clip-on extensometers. Non-contacting extensometers, such as the Automatic Video Extensometer 2 (AVE 2), allow us to determine the elongation at fracture without exposing the equipment to damage due to the energy released.
The topics we included here are some of the main points of E8; however, due to the complexities and enormity of ASTM E8, we recommend that you review the standard to fully understand its requirements.

Alright. Let's stop dancing around the inevitable. Punk is gone. He hasn't been officially future endeavoured and there is a part of me holding on to the fact that this might be the most ballsy, elaborate work in history. But as he's been pulled from pre-paid AXXESS meet & greets and assessing the bizarre atmosphere on RAW this week, we can assume that at the very least he's having an extended holiday.
There was a definite air of damage limitation on this week's RAW. Fan-made signs enquiring as to Punk's whereabouts were confiscated by security. In the same way that Rey Mysterio was booed at the Royal Rumble simply for not being Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton's words made no impact on the crowd, who were otherwise engaged in repeatedly chanting for CM Punk. Being a bit of a tough-nut, their disinterest in his moaning about his lack of…(umm, what was it again?) made no impression on him either.
Needing to pacify an already volatile crowd Steph and HHH appeared on the ramp to instruct Randy to stop whining. To curry favour with the audience even further, they warned him that they had the power to strip him of his 'face of the company' moniker. If he didn't cool his boots they might be forced to make someone else their favourite. Daniel Bryan, maybe. HHH even joined the Yes Movement. Turncoat!
Daniel Bryan, who in the space of a week has gone from their whipping boy to potential poster boy. You can't help but feel that even what would have been Bryan's eventual triumph over 'the man' has been ditched in favour of keeping people from turning off.
The Shield won a three-man tag against Big E. Langston, Kofi and Rey Mysterio, but the crucial part of the story came when Dean Ambrose (unf) and Roman Reigns squabbled over who should have taken the pin. Poor Seth Rollins. As if his comedic tumbling the previous week hadn't been upsetting enough. Now mummy and daddy are fighting again. I wonder which of them plays mum and which takes on the role of dad. Let's think about that for a moment. Anyway, the bickering soon ended and their broken pieces were glued back together when the Wyatts appeared on screen hoping to capitalise on their moment of collective weakness. They didn't.
It also seems there's dissent at Camp Real Americans. After losing a place in the Elimination Chamber to Christian on SmackDown, Jack Swagger was given a rematch, only to lose a second time. You can always tell when Swagger's in a panic. His bottom lip bursts open, like that kid in school who always got stress-related nosebleeds on class trips. Zeb Colter made his disgruntlement known in no uncertain terms and even Antonio Cesaro dropped and shook his head in shame. Time to disband these guys and start hyping Cesaro, lest he go the same way as Hero. At least, let's not allow that to happen before I can successfully attend any British shows he might be booked on. Selfish? Me? Absolutely. It already sticks in my craw that I don't get to clap eyes on Chris Hero's colour-of-a-cornfield mane when he's in the UK at the end of this month.
In further attempts to placate the ready-to-riot crowd, the New Age Outlaws were forced to put the tag titles on the line against Goldust and Cody Rhodes. Oh and they were forced to do it *MOVIE TRAILER VOICE* inside a steel caaaaage. New Age Outlaws retained in a match that went on for far too long, never really got going and made little-to-no use of the cage. Hey, Hunter? Where's Punk?
Thankfully this was followed by Batista's arrival. Now, hold on. I know this doesn't sound all that exciting. But the small detail I deliberately omitted in the name of building tension is that our Dave's back in the double denim. Yes!
And not just top and bottom denim, but a matching burnout tee. Cor! But beyond my predictable giddiness at Dave-denim, the real star of this segment was Alberto Del Rio. Dressed in less impressive single denim, the promo he ripped on Dave was so convincingly impassioned you might believe there was some truth behind it. I mean, why would the guy who's been consistently great but never truly trusted to carry the company along with the big boys feel cheesed off that Dave's waltzed back in to steal a Wrestlemania headline slot? It was the first time in many months I've really sat up and taken notice of Del Rio. Their scrap was fierce and Del Rio was so pumped he returned to the ring to retrieve his rather fetching black blazer, before catching glimpse of Dave's face and thinking better of it.
Speaking of those flying uncomfortably under the radar, Dolph Ziggler was teamed up with R-Truth and Xavier Woods to go up against the Wyatts. The match had all the bumps and jumps you'd expect, with Bray Wyatt pinning Dolph for the win. To match their video interruption earlier in the evening, The Shield made their own video based gift, with Dean Ambrose (unf) mocking the Wyatts' scare tactics and his fellow warriors warning of retribution. This was met with the usual psychotic laughter in the ring. Standard but still pleasing fare.
This took us to a long main event between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan, the winner of which would become the McMahon-Helmsley's favourite boy. It was a long and involved match where both gave a lot, but it was flat. It was missing something. Despite some interference from Kane, Bryan still won the match, but it didn't have the shine it should have. It's not enough just to give us what we want. We need the backstory to make it mean something. That's where promoters get wrestling fans all wrong. It's about the journey. I wonder if that's the line they'd be following if Punk was still around. And the fact that Orton and Kane continued to pummel Bryan after the bell means it'll all probably flip-flop back the other way quicker than a Westminster sex scandal come next week. It just didn't make sense. Unless Kane interfered to make sure Bryan didn't win, what was the point?
Can you say 'state of flux'?
N.B. This week, in an attempt to skip what I thought were just the ads, I watched RAW via the Sky Sports On Demand service. Unfortunately, I only realised after writing this that they'd cut out several mid-card matches, linking segments etc. I'll have seen all the missing pieces before next week, but just a warning to those in the UK. It gives a skewed view of the show and I'm going to be complaining to Sky about it.

Today is my birthday, and I have a lot planned for ugly number 39:
- Walmart for baby proofing (see photo below) and crafting stuff
- Finish G's birth story since she turned 6 months old yesterday
- Meet a friend and hike "the M" today before the weather turns (hooray, snow!)
- Bake me a cake (no I don't mind pampering myself on my birthday)
- Go to one of my BF's to celebrate avec family (it may even turn into an overnight par-tay)
My good friend from Birth After Cesarean posted this yesterday on my wall:
Well, who would have thought this past year would bring so much difference for you, woman!
Seriously, this has been an epic year for me. I happily and healthily grew another blessing. Against all odds, really . . . I had a successful hospital VBA2C. I held my ground and refused a cesarean. I achieved tenure and was promoted at my University. I performed a solo faculty recital (my recital partner backed out on me a week prior) a mere 2 months post partum! My hubby and I drove to and from Denver for the holidays with our four young kids (which I consider a HUGE success). My Dad flew me to Houston to check on my ailing aunt, and I was able to see my mom, brother, SIL, niece, and meet my nephew! And we ended our childbearing years yesterday with a vasectomy.
It's crazy to think that my childbearing years are over. I love pregnancy. I might even be addicted to pregnancy. I am jealous of every pregnant woman I see. And thankfully a part of me is at peace with being done. But, now I have to face raising these beautiful children that my husband and I conceived. Some days it's really really hard to be a good parent . . . to be a minimally acceptable parent. I never feel like I'm a spectacular parent. But maybe now that I'm done making, baking, and birthing babies, I can focus on being a better parent?
So, what's next? I think I'll eat a little something and go for my hike. Guess I'll have to postpone finishing my birth story until this afternoon while my birthday cake is baking.
After that I'll continue herding my little flock of kids and herding my big flock of students and loving my husband and my home!

Nov. 6, 2006
UC Santa Barbara senior Lauren Christman was named the 2006 Big West Cross Country Women's Athlete of the Year as the conference announced its major award winners.
Christman completed the 6K course at the Big West championship meet in a course-record time of 21:07.5 to claim the individual crown. This is not uncharted territory for Christman as she also claimed the 2004 Big West Athlete of the Year award and the individual championship at that season's meet. She is the third Gaucho harrier in five years to garner Athlete of the Year honors and holds the top 6K time in the Big West this season at 20:28 (set at Pre-Nationals). In addition, she is the first runner to garner two Athlete of the Year awards since Utah State's Alisa Nicodemus did it in 1992 and 1993.
Gsucho Coach Pete Dolan was named 2006 Big West Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year. Dolan led the Gauchos to one of their most successful seasons in recent memory. His seventh-ranked squad won the prestigious Roy Griak Invitational and finished fourth at Pre-Nationals on its way to its third Big West title in four seasons. Dolan now owns six Coach of the Year honors, second on the all-time women's list and has taken home the honor three of the past four years.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. -- A special moment between a Douglasville waiter and a man with no hands to feed himself has impacted the hearts of thousands on the web after a patron captured the moment on a phone.
The photo was taken one weekend at a Mexican restaurant in Douglasville and shows a waiter sitting with and helping a customer with no hands.
Now, the photo has been shared on Facebook across the world.
Alex Arroyo-Ruiz never meant for the moment to go viral. He doesn't speak much English and spends most of his days at Cinco de Mayo – a Mexican restaurant 30 miles west of Atlanta.
But when a photo of him helping the man was captured and shared on Facebook, it would soon spread much further than the table he was waiting on.
"My action was not much," he said. "It was something simple more people can do."
But he didn't have to. When he saw one of his customers had no hands, he chose to sit and help.
"He came over, talked to the guy and started cutting up his tacos so the guy could eat them," coworker Amanda Betancourt said.
While his co-workers offered to pick up his other tables, Arroyo-Ruiz stayed with the man throughout his meal. They learned of each other's families.
And at the end, you can see the man say, "Thank you very much."
It was a fellow customer who took the photo that has been shared thousands of times.
But Arroyo-Ruiz never meant to go viral. He wished to reach an audience of one.
But if this kind of action has reached the world, he hopes the world sees the message behind it.
"Yo no discrimino la gente," he said. "Para mi, todos son iguales."
Arroyo-Ruiz said he doesn't discriminate against anyone. For him, all are equal.

Second Life Collab?? & Remap Berlin Closing Day
i had a promising meeting with two faculty from the CS department yesterday. some decisions were being fleshed out about the use of the UWF campus in SL. while they want to also explore other options like Open Sim and Croquet we had an exciting moment where it was suggested that we work together on a cross-departmental project in SL. in the meantime i am going to try to connect these folks with the likes of the Ody Project folks, some of my colleagues using Open Sim, and drop some links (like the totally awesome Aesthetic Computing Classes at UF) to them. and it looks like i will be relocating the New Traditionalists Gallery to the UWF campus. this could be really good.
today i attended the closing reception for Remap Berlin at Odyssey. marco Manray has a very interesting intersection between Google Map's Panoramio and a MUVE called Twinity which simulates Berlin, Deutschland. Manray has been adding Twinity shots into the geolocative photo recording API of Panoramio & Google Maps. essentially Manray haas been adding the 'simscape' (hmm i like that!) snapshots to the Google Maps of Berlin in a recontextualization of the territory. here's the essay marco wrote on the project. and a few snaps from the closing party:

Howdy all,
I'm a new member and I posted this a few days ago on the blog section. I was hoping for any feedback on my method (I'm always looking for ways to simplify it/improve it). Anyways, I thought that I'd repost here in Forum as it seems to get more traffic.
Mr. Peabody
On Feb 1st, I posted:
I've been lurking around this website for about a week and decided to join in. I'm an occasional bread baker who would like to improve my loaves. I got into it because my sons have nut/sesame seed allergies. This meant my wife and I could not trust a normal bakery for good rustic bread because there is no way to be assured that the bread didn't get cross-contaminated with sesame seeds or nut products. Still, my wife and I still really love the occasional crusty loaf, so I started to make some bread (I average baking about twice a month).
We are really busy because we have triplet boys (collective age of 27 years old, look at my white hairs!), so I've had to tweak my protocol for baking bread to be as casual and flexible as possible. So, I thought that I'd submit to all of you what I do for feedback, suggestions, comments, etc.
I do love the taste of bread done with a preferment (a biga) and a slow rise, but with our busy schedule, I needed a way to do this with great flexibility. So...
I mix/knead a bread dough (I use the autolyse technique too) using instant yeast, bread flour, salt, and COLD water in a Kitchenaide mixer. I then put it in a lightly oiled stainless steel mixing bowl, cover with plastic and stick it into the refrigerator for a slow, cold first rise (usually about 18-24 hrs).
The next day, I take it out of the refrigerator, fold the dough (which when cold is somewhat stiff), put the dough into a new lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic and then put the whole thing into a weakly warmed oven (Turned on oven for about 1 min, turn it off and then leave the light on -- my oven gets to around 90 F) and wait for about 1-1/2 hr to 2 hrs.
By then, the dough is slowly warmed to around room temperature (maybe slightly warmer) and undergoes a 2nd rise. I then shape my loaves and let proof. After proofing, I do the normal stuff -- slash, wet, bake.
The bread is pretty good (my wife loves it). I bet if I folded it more often it would rise higher in the oven, but as a trade off in my actual hands-on time, it works for me. It has a faintly sour taste (which I happen to like) and the crumb is somewhat irregular but not extremely open like some of the photos I've seen on this website (though my hydration level may help to explain that, I've been hovering around 65-68% for hydration level)
So, what do you think?
Mr. Peabody

Who played tuba ....
.... on the ORIGINAL Star Trek. There were some WONDERful tuba parts and the playing is tremendous. Also, who played those old "Flintstones" cartoons? This guy (or gal) had to have the 'sound effects' down pat.
Re: Who played tuba ....
I've read that the tuba player on most of the old Hanna-Barbera soundtracks such as "The Flintstones" was Tommy Johnson.
The best and most prominent Star Trek TOS tuba part comes from the first pilot, "The Cage," which was later incorporated into the two-part episode, "The Menagerie."

Re: Who played tuba ....
George Bouje played tuba on many (most) of the Flintstones cartoons.
He also recorded Tubby the Tuba with Danny Kaye.
He was the staff tuba player at MGM in the 40's and 50's

Mercedes GLA rivals - the cars it has to beat
* The cars the new Mercedes GLA has to beat * Small SUV's competitors from Audi, BMW and Mini * GLA goes on sale in the spring...
The Mercedes-Benz GLA is the long-awaited rival to the likes of the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1. Mercedes is hoping to entice buyers looking for a hatchback-szed car, but with a touch more practicality and a slightly higher driving position.
This is not a new concept though, and the GLA will face competition from many different sides. Here are the rivals that the GLA could entice customers away from when it goes on sale in the spring.
Audi Q3
The Audi Q3 provides a more sensible alternative to the GLA's eye-catching styling, but beneath that conservative exterior lies a decent car.
The ride is comfortable, the handling is composed and the cabin is luxurious and feels like it is built to last. All the engines are strong, but the lower-powered diesel is the best of the lot - it is efficient, comes in front-wheel-drive format only, but it has all the power you need.
The biggest selling points for BMW's X1 are its low running costs and its composure on twisty roads - somewhere that SUVs can perform badly because of their high ride height.
However, the BMW's biggest problem is the standard set by other models in the company's range; the quality of materials in the cabin is the biggest disappointment.
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
The Range Rover Evoque is the car the GLA has to beat in the desirability and style stakes. These looks do compromise the Evoque in some areas - rear visibility is tight and the rear seat area is quite dark, and slightly cramped if you go for the three-door Coupe version.
However, it has a strong set of engines and drives well, with quick and accurate steering.
Mini Countryman
Although the Mini is a smaller and cheaper car than most of the GLA's rivals, the Countryman's style-conscious buyers are the kind of people Mercedes will be hoping to attract.
It's the only Mini that could cope with a family's needs, with a flexible set of sliding rear seats and a high driving position that gives you a good view of the road.
However, its driving manners let it down, with a harsh ride, a fair amount of body roll through corners and a noisy set of engines.

The quality of art is excellent and the printed item very good. What's not so good was the delivery. Fine Art America failed to include my address which meant that the posted item ended up lost in the post. Luckily my phone number had been printed ? so the local sorting office very gratuitously called me to arrange delivery. Not impressed with the posting.
