On Monday, when bedbugs were found in DVDs returned through the bookdrop at the Lower Macungie Public Library, the DVDs and the pieces of rug that line the bookdrop were bagged tightly and discarded.
Director Kathee Rhodes said that's also when the library was closed to the public.
The facility was then inspected by a local exterminator from Ehrlich, she said, but she wanted to go even further to ensure the library was pest free, so she called in Dino, the bed bug-sniffing beagle from Good Night, Sleep Tight to give the final word.
Dino was very interested in one sofa and though an inspection revealed no bugs in it, it's gone gone gone, never to return, Rhodes said.
"To assure there was not a big public health issue, we contained the problem immediately. The public was protected at all times as we performed our due diligence," Rhodes said.
There were no chemicals of any kind used in the library or the rest of the Community Center. The entire complex was inspected by Dino.
Dino's boss at Good Night, Sleep Tight, Jason Webeck, said the bugs can be anywhere people gather.
"And they were mentioned in the Bible, so they've been around awhile," he said.
Webeck's company is based in Pittsburgh, he said, but the company services homes and businesses in PA, MD, NJ, VA and Canada.
The Lower Macungie Library will be closed Thursday and Friday for the holiday, but from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday -- and every Saturday at least until the end of the year -- the public is invited for free coffee served by the librarians, Rhodes said.

text: So you're a developer and you want to contact us eh? That's awesome, because we'd love to hear from you! We get a lot of emails daily about games, reviews, and coverage, so here is the quick list of what you need to know. What you need to know Greenlit Gaming is an indie game, PC only site. While we all have phones and love to play the latest iOS game like everyone else, there's a time and place to talk about those games and it isn't here. We exclusively cover indie PC games only. If your game is cross-platform, that's no problem, we're happy as long as somewhere down the line it's a PC game. We love Steam Greenlight, but that doesn't mean we don't love all indies too! You should know by now that we spend a lot of time talking about Steam Greenlight. Yeah, it's a pretty big deal around the office, but that doesn't mean we don't want to hear from you if you got to launch right onto Steam! While we currently only review the games of Greenlight, we'd love to feature your game on our YouTube channel, our livestream, and share it with our community. Want us to write about your game? Give us something to write about. If you'd like for us to preview or review your game, provide a copy in the initial email you send to us. We only cover games we've personally played, which leads me to my next point… We actually play your game. Yep, it's true. We play each and every game we cover. We strive to be experts on the games we cover, and how can you be an expert without actually playing the game? With that being said, our turn-around times are slightly longer than sites whom simply copy+paste press releases into their feeds. We need time to play your game. We preview games that we believe interest the community. We are a community driven site. If your game isn't particularly fun, we reserve the right to elect not to cover it. Our goal is to highlight the gems of Steam Greenlight and the indie gaming community. All sites do this, except we're being honest about it. If we believe your game has potential but theres a few things that hold it back, that will be reflected in the preview. We provide our audience with genuinely honest reviews. We review all games for better or for worse. We love indie devs, we really do, but we have to be honest and true to our audience. If your game comes out and it isn't good, we will tell them. We're sorry. We are extremely selective when it comes to Kickstarter. We don't take the idea of recommending Kickstarter projects to our fans lightly. You are asking a lot for us to recommend our audience where to put their hard-earned money into your game. Unless we are willing to invest in the project ourselves, we will not recommend our audience to. We don't respond to random press releases. Honestly, they simply don't provide us with the information we need or care about. If we don't respond to your email, we are sorry. We legitimately are. We do our best to respond to all of the emails we receive, but sometimes we just miss one. Its inevitable. Oh, you still want to know how to contact us? Okay! Well, you can do one of two things. You can email one of us directly if you think your inquiry would be best suited for one particular person, or you can simply email our general account at contact[@]greenlitgaming.com if you don't know/don't care who should read the email. Either way, we're happy! Share to support indie games! Tweet

Transcript Editor
Oklahoma deer hunters have a wealth of opportunity when it comes to trying to outwit the state's most popular game animal.
In fact, since Oct. 1, archery hunters have been doing their best to reduce our exploding deer populations around the county and state. This is accomplished by harvesting ample numbers of does for the freezer or for healthy venison donations destined for state's Hunter's Against Hunger program.
Hunters are now the apex predator in charge of keeping deer herds in check since bears and wolves were eradicated long ago in our area. Having plenty of hunters to fulfill this role is a necessity.
This is important because along with extremely high and rising deer numbers, deer-related car accidents also are on the rise.
There's no question, cars and deer are a lethal combination. In fact, many drivers may be killed as a result of deer-vehicular collisions, particularly in the fall months when the most deer movement takes place.
To understand why, we must delve off into a bit of biology. The bulk of deer breeding occurs from the second week in November to Thanksgiving with some does being bred shortly before or thereafter.
Deer are also searching for food to improve fat reserves in preparation for winter. These factors cause a dramatic increase in the movement of local deer herds and as a result, more deer-vehicle collisions occur in this period than any other time of year. With Cleveland County having so many deer combined with so many people, drivers need to be especially cautious, especially at dusk and dawn.
The Insurance Information Institute estimates there are over 1.6 million deer-vehicle collisions each year, resulting in about 150 human deaths, tens of thousands of injuries and more than $3.6 billion in vehicular damage. An additional billion is estimated to be spent on medical payments for injuries to people in the car and out-of-pocket expenses paid by vehicle owners, bringing the total cost to approximately $4.6 billion. The average cost for individual claims is approximately $3,000.
Studies show three out of four vehicle-animal collisions involve deer, and that November is the peak month for these accidents to occur. Late October also sees a significant number of deer-related accidents. As wildlife habitat shrinks and more people move to rural areas, accidents with deer and other animals will increase. Not only is urban sprawl displacing deer from their habitat, but the deer population is continuing to grow.
This can be especially true where regulations or city ordinances prevent or restrict hunters from harvesting deer; especially does which are the population drivers. As a result, populations explode and deer are forced to move often to find more food and additional living space. This results in hundreds of thousands of deer finding their way onto roadways.
We all know friends and family who have been involved with serious or sometimes fatal car accidents with deer. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to decrease the likelihood of being involved in a deer-vehicle collision.
Drivers should know that deer are not just found in the country crossing rural roads near wooded areas. In fact, many deer crashes occur on busy highways near cities in wide open habitat.
Also, deer are unpredictable and have poor depth perception, especially when faced with bright headlights, loud engines and fast-moving vehicles. They often dart quickly into traffic unexpectedly. In addition, if does have successfully given birth and raised fawns, they generally stay together into the winter months. This means if you see one cross the road, there are likely more in the immediate vicinity.
Drivers should use caution in areas known to have a large deer population and in areas where roads divide crop fields and forestland. Coupled with being a more cautious driver, always wear your seatbelt. This should be a no-brainer these days, but some still need a reminder. One study of fatal animal crashes showed 60 percent of people killed were not wearing a seatbelt and sixty-five percent of people killed in animal-related crashes while riding motorcycles were not wearing helmets. Also, when driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. The high beams better illuminate the eyes of deer and many other animals on or near the roadway.
Motorists should be attentive from early evening, through nighttime and shortly after sunrise. These are the highest risk times for deer-vehicle collisions.
However, in mid-November deer may be crossing roadways at all times during the day while the "rut" or breeding phase is at a frenzied level. Deer of all ages are unpredictable in mid-November and can be seen at any time of day.
Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, slow down, but stay in your lane and do not swerve.
Many fatal crashes occur when drivers swerve to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle, tree, or power pole and lose control. Lastly, do not rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and/or reflectors to deter deer. These devices are ineffective and unproven.

Crusaders Continue to Stay Hot, Down Bradley
Tuesday, April 25, 2006Valparaiso was limited to just three hits on the afternoon, but they all came in the same inning and combined with a solid pitching effort as the Crusaders won their fifth game in their last six contests defeating Bradley 3-2 in Peoria, Ill.
With the game scoreless in the fourth, Colin Reynolds (Crookston, Minn./Central H.S.) walked with one out and Josh Piazza (Niles, Ill./Notre Dame H.S.) followed with a single, Valpo's first hit of the day. After a wild pitch moved the runners up 90 feet, Joe Lazar (Traverse City, Mich./Central H.S.) singled to right to bring home Reynolds for his first RBI of the year. A passed ball then scored Piazza and Matthew Augustine (Muskego, Wis./Muskego H.S.) followed with a double down the right field line to plate Lazar and give the Brown and Gold a 3-0 lead.
Derek Smith (Kokomo, Ind./Kokomo H.S.) was solid on the mound all afternoon, scattering just five hits and walking one in 5.2 innings while not allowing a run to earn his first collegiate victory (1-1).
Bradley (19-19) scored a pair of runs in the seventh on a fielder's choice and a throwing error by the Crusaders, but Dallas Cawiezell (Long Grove, Iowa/North Scott H.S.) came on to pitch the final two innings to earn his second save of the season. Collin Brennan (5-1) suffered his first loss of the season for the Braves, allowing all three runs and all three hits in four innings of work.
Valparaiso (11-22) will return to the diamond on Wednesday afternoon in West Lafayette, Ind. as the Crusaders face Purdue beginning at 3 p.m. CDT. The game will be aired live on WVUR (95.1-FM, Valparaiso) and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

The braised salmon was just delivered poolside with your favorite bottle of Bordeaux. Next stop: a trip to the spa -- or maybe an art class -- while your husband gets in 18 holes on the professionally designed golf course.
It's not a resort. It's home for a growing contingent of well-heeled retirees who may need help with housekeeping chores or personal care, but they aren't willing to sacrifice their taste for luxe to get it.
High-end senior living communities, some of which charge seven-figure entry fees, offer a variety of independent and assisted living housing options for aging adults.
Many, such as Vi at Palo Alto (in California), offer a continuum of care, with independent living units, assisted living apartments, memory support suites and skilled nursing rooms for those requiring 24-hour care.
Like most senior living communities, they also offer help with yardwork, cleaning, medication, meals, transportation, and activity planning to keep retirees mentally and physically stimulated.
But that's where the similarities end, says Tim Hermeling, vice president of marketing for Chicago-based Vi communities.
"We are very focused on providing quality in everything we do, from our chefs who are trained at the Culinary Institute of America, to our programming, to the decor and furnishings in our rooms," he says.
Built in 2005 on land leased from Stanford University, Vi at Palo Alto offers a state-of-the-art pool, fitness center, library and computer lab, along with a salon, spa and wellness center staffed daily by a registered nurse.
Healthy meals are planned by a nutritionist to meet the individual needs of residents, with nightly specials and desserts prepared by a pastry chef.
Vi at Palo Alto also offers a professional real estate counselor to support incoming residents in the sale of their homes.
But all those amenities don't come cheap.
The monthly fee for a one-bedroom unit with den is $4,790, plus a one-time entrance fee starting at nearly $1.1 million. A two-bedroom unit with den costs $6,370 monthly, plus an entrance fee of $1.9 million. (Spouses pay a reduced rate.)
Eighty percent of that entry fee, however, is refunded when the resident moves out or passes away.
Indeed, while the fee schedule may induce sticker shock, high-end assisted care communities that return most of the entry fee they charge can actually help preserve the value of your estate, says John Falldine, managing director of Edgemere, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, in Dallas.
The one-time entrance fee for independent living units at Edgemere, for example, ranges from $325,000 to $900,000, with monthly fees thereafter ranging from $2,800 to $6,500.
Ninety percent of that entry fee is returned to the resident when he moves out or returned to his estate when he dies.
"It's a smart financial decision that preserves your asset base for your children, wrapped in a decision to live in a luxurious, carefree environment," says Falldine.
As with Vi at Palo Alto, the cost borne by residents also helps those in independent living manage future costs as their functional level declines, providing access to assisted living and skilled nursing services at a vastly discounted rate.
For example, while the market rate is roughly $6,000 per month for assisted living care and $9,000 per month for 24-hour skilled nursing care, residents enrolled in Edgemere's Life Care independent living program can lock in a flat rate of $4,200 per month. That guarantees them priority access to whatever service they need for as long as they need it at no extra cost.
"The real discount comes into play with skilled nursing," says Falldine, noting the residents who opt to move to Edgemere "are really bright people, and they look at what they get at Edgemere for that money."

KIMBALL — Click here to view slideshow:
Seventeen cars from a train have derailed this morning in McDowell County, including a tanker car that is in the Elkhorn River, emergency officials said.
The derailment occurred near Kimball between the Vivian and Landgraff communities, according to John Sidote, a public information officer with the McDowell County 911 Emergency Communications Center.
At least 17 cars are involved in the derailment, including two tankers. One of the two tankers is in the Elkhorn Creek.
No evacuations have been ordered at this time, and U.S. Route 52 has not been closed at this time. Sidote said officials do not know what type of liquid the tanker car is carrying.
Regional hazardous material crews have been contacted, and are responding, including a team from Charleston, a Norfolk Southern team and a hazmat crew with the Welch Fire Department, along with the Kimball Volunteer Fire Department.
The tanker car in the Elkhorn River is believed to have a leak. Robin Chapman, a spokesman for Norfolk Southern, said the tanker leaking fluid into the Elkhorn Creek contained asphalt. Chapman said NS has hazmat teams on the way.
The county's Emergency Services Office has opened, and is coordinating the response to the derailment.
More details as soon as they become available.

WASHINGTON -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said "grave concern" about the nation's high unemployment rate led the central bank to launch another round of stimulus, and that the aggressive open-ended program underscores a commitment to the economic recovery.
"We've seen not enough jobs growth to bring down the unemployment rate, and what we need to see is more progress," Bernanke said. The Fed would continue with its stimulus "until we do," he said.

Election chaos
The election bill has two related, disturbing pieces.
The first allows a county political party to appoint 10 roving observers, who may go into any precinct in the county. Before, a party could appoint up to two observers for each precinct, but they had to stay in that precinct.
The second piece allows a challenge to a voter to be filed in a precinct on Election Day by any voter in the county. Before, the law allowed Election-Day challenges, but they could be filed only by another voter in that precinct.
Together, these provisions will allow a white Republican observer from say, Country Club Hills, to be sent to a heavily black polling place, say Chavis Heights, and challenge any black voter – or voters – he chooses.
Why think this new power might be abused? Because one right-wing group has already demonstrated it can and will target unfavorable voters for mass challenges with the flimsiest evidence. After investigation, few of their allegations have stuck. But their challenges had to be filed before Election Day, giving time for investigation.
Now, if the Republicans appoint such people as observers, they will be able to create chaos on Election Day.

For comparison, we also tested the two top-performing powder concentrates for top and front loaders from last year's test.
CHOICE tests regularly show that the best washing powders give a better wash than laundry liquids, but despite this many people prefer to use liquids. Some liquids dissolve better and don't leave a residue on the clothes, and it's easy to rub a little liquid on stains before throwing clothes in the wash. Powder buyers choose them for the better performance and for convenience — they're easier and less messy to measure out.
We tested them for general cleaning performance and the ability to remove tomato and grass stains.
Many people now want to use the greywater from their washing machine for watering their lawn or garden, so we also had the laundry liquids analysed for phosphorus, salinity, sodium, and pH to check whether they're suitable for your garden.

WASHINGTON — The field at the Scripps National Spelling Bee significantly shrank Wednesday, with the five Triangle-area students among those eliminated. After three rounds of preliminary competition that started with 281 students, just 42 students earned a spot in the semifinal bout Thursday.
Four Triangle spellers moved on from Wednesday's morning contest to the afternoon round. Jesse Stephenson, an eighth-grader at Southside Christian School in Clayton, misspelled the word "Weimaraner," the type of dog, in the morning round..
"It was a word that I had studied and I knew it, but … I was real nervous and so wasn't able to get the right spelling," he said. "Regardless that I lost, it's a great experience to just be here and do it."
Alexander Schembra, a fifth-grader at Lillington-Shawtown Elementary in Lillington, made it to the afternoon match, then misspelled the word "Beethovenian," which means relating to composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
The other three Triangle spellers – Brian Werden, Ethan Wagner and Hunter Randolph – did not misspell words, but their cumulative scores over two days of testing were not high enough for them to make the semifinals.
Brian, a seventh-grader at Charles W. Stanford Middle School in Hillsborough, correctly spelled his words, "toboggan" and "labefaction," in both rounds.
The magic first-round words for eighth-graders Ethan and Hunter were "segue" and "paparazzo," respectively. Ethan attends St. Michael of the Archangel School in Cary, and Hunter attends SanLee Middle School in Sanford.
Both also correctly spelled their words in the next round, with Ethan fielding "tattersall" and Hunter getting "acetabulum" right.
Ethan considered the week a success. He wasn't even focused on making semifinals.
"On the preliminaries test I did the best I could, and how it came out is how it came out," Ethan said. "I spelled both my words right, and I'm happy about that. It was good."
The five Triangle boys in the bee began the qualifying process last fall. Millions competed along the way for a spot in this week's event, and the five represent a handful of the almost 300 students that beat the long odds.

Ask the Experts: Making the transition from standalone servers to server clusters
Question: I'm to the point in our organization that load balancing across multiple servers is really becoming necessary. Making the transition from standalone servers to server clusters is a daunting task to say the least. What's the best way to make such a change? Is it possible to start small and increase the "cluster" as we go? What services do well across multiple servers, and which do not? --Cory Whiteman of Atlanta, GA
Kalyana Krishna Chadalavada, Director – Systems & Technology at HPC Systems, Inc. responds: The best way to introduce clusters in to your infrastructure is to roll out a pilot implementation. In most cases, it is possible to start small and expand as needs grow. However, this is the view from a 1000 ft above the ground. There are a lot of applications that do support clustered configurations, databases have been the first to do so. File servers, email servers, web servers followed shortly after. For applications that are not cluster-aware themselves, load balancing can be achieved by introducing a new device like IP load balancers in to the network.
The specifics of implementation will vary based on the goals you are trying to achieve. It is also important to note that not all services scale indefinitely as you scale the available resources. Simply put, adding 10 servers will not necessarily improve the performance by 10 times.
The good news is that most vendors to provide pre-configured systems for cluster-aware applications like Oracle, SQLServer, Lustre, PVFS and more.
James Ward of Adobe Systems responds: One of the most difficult things to deal with in clustered environments is replication of state. The more stateless your application is the easier it will be to cluster. If you can layer a cluster of stateless services in back of a single server that handles the stateful stuff then your job might be easier.
David Thomas of dthomasdigital responds: Given today's computer environments clustering can help many organizations utilize existing resources. A daunting task it truly can be but a good plan goes a long way. Pick the Linux distribution that's right for your organization's needs one that some expertise exist within your organization or your outside support group. Think of additional cooling and electricity requirements as well as security and a robust backup plan. Do all this up front and you'll be glad you did later.
Linux Clustering is very scalable so starting small and growing big is thinking in the right direction but remember design your cluster with scalability as your first requirement and you should have no problem adding resources as needed.
I like to think in terms of protocols when working with clustered services. Protocols such as HTML, DNS, and SMTP handle cluster environments quite well. Start with web servers then databases, as you get more comfortable working in a clustered environment move on to FTP, DNS, and email servers.
Clustering has many advantages such as high availability, load balancing, and can even be configured for high-performance computing. If planned properly a Linux cluster can be quite an asset to any organization.
Bill Childers, an IT Manager in Silicon Valley responds: Well, Cory, load balancing is a great way to scale a service to get added capacity. Traditionally, people have allocated more CPU and RAM to a service (scaling vertically), but this only goes so far. By spreading the load of the service across multiple machines (scaling horizontally) you pickup more fault tolerance as well as increased capacity for that service. A great way to scale horizontally is through the use of a load balancer.
Let's answer the last part of your question first -- "What services do well across multiple servers, and which do not?" Most read-only services or services that can perform a write in a single transaction lend themselves well to load balancing, so things like HTTP, LDAP reads, and DNS lookups work very well when deployed behind a load balancer. Write-intensive operations, such as database updates, don't work well behind a load balancer (unless your application can mine data from different database servers or you have shared storage). Any SSL-enabled service (such as HTTPS) can pose a special case when load balancing, because the "cn" (common name) attribute in the SSL certificate must match the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) that the client is making the request of. There are ways around this but they're best left to a network architect.
The best way to make the change really depends on your network architecture and service deployment. I do recommend to start small -- hopefully you have a lab environment where you can test this out before you plop it in your production environment. It is possible to roll out load balancing with minimal disruption to your production services, if you plan properly and your environment allows for it. For example, let's assume you have a basic web server and you wish to move to a cluster of three web servers behind a load balancer. You would setup the new web servers on the same subnet and start those services, and verify they were functional. Then, you could place the load balancer on the same subnet as the web servers, and give it the virtual IP (VIP) you want to present to the world as your "www.mydomain.com" address. Configure the load balancer to route traffic between the web servers, and then setup a DNS record like "test.mydomain.com" to point to the load balancer's VIP. At this point, (assuming your web servers are setup to serve traffic for test.mydomain.com as well) you can browse to test.mydomain.com and your requests should be served through the load balancer. This would give you an opportunity to run tests and verify that things were working. Once you are satisfied, simply change your www.mydomain.com DNS record to point the the load balancer's VIP and your services would dynamically switch to being load balanced. In the event something went wrong, you could roll the change back quickly as well.
Good luck!
Chris Stark of the University of Hawaii College of Education responds: Hi Cory. Being a great sysadmin is all about making informed decisions. You asked, "What is the best way to transition from stand-alone servers to clusters?". The best way is to step out of the server room for a bit and lay down some solid plans. Your plans should be informed by performance data that you have collected over the course of the previous weeks, months, or even year. And, your plans should look to the future to ensure that your investment of time, energy, and equipment are not just a "band-aid" fix or dirty hack.
You will probably need to involve the management of your organization in this process, as they'll surely want a hand in the direction of the organization's IT infrastructure. Ask the following questions (but these are just a start -- you'll need to come up with your own, too)...
What are the organization's most important services?
How much does it cost the organization if these core services are unavailable for a given amount of time?
What auxiliary services are necessary to support the core services?
What is the current resource utilization on the critical servers?
How many users are using the critical services at a given time?
How many users do we project will be using the core services 1/3/5 years from now?
Use the answers to these questions (as well as the ones you come up with) to help shape your plans and justify your expenses. Though it may seem like an obvious step, far too many IT operations I've encountered have no written plans anywhere, leaving the organizations in bad shape when personnel inevitably changes. Furthermore, proper planning helps to avoid unnecessary server sprawl and provides an important benchmark for your IT operation's performance objectives.
I'm going to skip your second question for now, and go directly to your third, "What services do well across multiple servers, and which do not?". Since your question wasn't specific with the services your organization offers, I'll go over a few common services: DNS, LDAP, database, web applications, file sharing, and email.
Services like BIND DNS, OpenLDAP, and MySQL have their own provisions for replication and clustering. For the most part, these services are easy to scale just by adding more physical boxes. To take the most advantage of the additional boxes, you may need to adjust some of your configurations.
Java-based web apps can generally be clustered if the servlet container supports clustering. I'm not a Java guy, but I'm pretty sure Tomcat and Glassfish both handle clustering without too much fuss.
Web applications written in PHP may need a bit of tweeking to handle load-balancing (especially those involving login sessions). The key to clustered session management in PHP is storing the session data in a database rather than the server's filesystem.
Since HTTP is stateless, web applications are particularly well-suited to load-balancing. However, for best results, you should start your web developers on some sort of source code management tool like subversion. This will make it easy to keep the content on each node in the web cluster in sync.
Email and file sharing services are significantly more difficult to cluster and may require you to experiment with tricky configurations and NAS or SAN based storage.
So back to your second question, "Is it possible to start small and increase the 'cluster' as we go?". With some services, yes. However, when it comes to file sharing and email, the amount of new and expensive infrastructure likely means a substantially larger 'first step' into clustering.
I hope this helps you get on the right path. There's no silver bullet or magic formula for some of this stuff, so you will need to learn to rely on your network's performance data and your organization's plan for IT in order to make the right decisions.
Tim Chase responds: The most common case for a request to load-balance involves a database-backed web-server. The first thing to do is to profile and find out where the bottleneck is happening. The bottleneck is likely the database or the dynamic HTML content generation (PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, etc). In some cases it may also be the static-content server or merely the network connection.
Additionally, are you currently running all the components (DB, static content, & dynamic content) off the same machine? Try splitting these each into their own server -- the divisions between them are clean, and will prevent them from fighting for resources on the same server. The Django folks have a nice writeup[1] on scaling these out.
Finally, is there shared-state between transactions? A shared-nothing architecture keeps all state on the client, allowing any server in your pool to answer the request because the request is self-contained. For more, read up on REST[2]. If you rope yourself to maintaining shared-state on the server, that one server can become your choke-point.
It may be as simple as an explosion in the number of queries, or bringing back volumes of data from the DB server, only to filter them locally. Query optimization (doing all the sorting/filtering/grouping on the server-side) can help. Hundreds(or even thousands) of small queries that are round-tripped to the DB may possibly be rolled into a single round-trip query. So start with smart SQL.
If the majority of queries are read-only, database replication with master-slave works nicely (though you have to ensure that reads-immediately-after-writes come from the master server). For sites with higher write-volume, some databases also support master-master replication with various caveats regarding replication latencies. Read your database docs to learn more (both PostgreSQL and MySQL support database clustering). It also helps to know your application's tolerance for latency between writes and propagation. If you need up-to-the-minute data, your requirements are a lot greater. You have more options if you can tolerate higher latencies -- such as a blog-post slowly propagating across servers where it doesn't matter as much if folks on the other side of the globe have to wait a whole hour for it to appear.
When data becomes gargantuan, it takes application-specific rewriting to scale. Options include:
- sharding: splitting a large table across multiple database servers
- partitioning: splitting along boundaries like a user/company, keeping their data on a single server, but having a way of using that user/company information to decide which server they get routed to
- using a backend like Google's BigTable or the open-source Hadoop project
Dynamic Content Generation
This may involve poor choice of algorithms or data-structures. Many of the languages support profiling the response to a web-page -- use these timing facilities to find out where the bottleneck is. Are you using an O(N^2) algorithm where an O(N log N) or better algorithm would do better? Is debugging (such as query-logging) accidentally enabled in production? Are you performing synchronous actions (such as video transcoding, mass emailing, file-conversion, bulk data uploads) which would be better farmed out to an asynchronous process, perhaps even on another server?
Are your requests frequently hitting the database for content you can cache? Look into integrating memcached to hold common content for faster retrieval.
Static Content Serving
If content is static, it can be replicated and balanced fairly easily. Check your web-server (apache, lighttpd, egenix, or tux are all popular candidates) configuration to make sure it's optimized. Simple DNS round-robin can distribute requests across a pool of servers.
Network Connection
If the public-facing network connection is your bottleneck, your options are pretty limited:
1) get a fatter pipe
2) use DNS to distribute your servers across geographic locations
3) use a content-delivery network for cached content
If your content generation and network connection are fast, but dumping it onto the network is limited by users on the remote end (say, a low-end dial-up connection), you might investigate using something like perlbal[4] to spoon-feed the data, while your application server can resume replies to other requests.
"What's the best way to make such a change? Is it possible to start small and increase the "cluster" as we go?" As you solve one bottleneck, you'll find others below the surface. However a well-tiered architecture will allow you to treat a single "layer" as a black box. The contents of that layer may be a single layer or a cluster. Usually you can scale out each layer fairly transparently of the other layers.
"What services do well across multiple servers, and which do not?"
Scale well:
HTTP (especially with client-maintained state), Database, DNS, NTP, Compute-time, NNTP, Jabber, LDAP
May scale well with some extra work:
Mail (SMTP/IMAP/POP), firewalling, filtering, proxying, NFS file-serving, remote shells
Don't scale as well: SMB & FTP file-serving
Not sure: IRC & print Serving
Hope this answers some of your questions as well as gives you additional questions to guide your search.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Yeah I know it's been a while. Life has gotten so busy and work is another story! But any way I have made a decision to carve out more radio time from my busy schedule and I have a project to drive it!
I obtained the above the unit above from Nelson NE4LS. He responded to my email to QRP-L looking for a non-working HW-8. Also included was Mike Bryce's "The HW-8 Handbook." I am happy as a lark to have this baby as a project and am ready to get started! The reason I looked for an HW-8 is purely nostalgic. The first rig I ever owned was an HW-8. I think I struggled to make 1 QSO with it. I found a picture of my first station a few months ago. You can see it below. This time I will make sure I am able to make QSO's with it. I plan to have it in a place of honor in my current shack.
The old gal is quite deaf. The only signal I was able to hear on any of the bands was W1AW code practice on 20m. So I know the receive works. I investigated a little more and found that Q1 has been replaced and there is an extra lead hanging free in the air. Another 2N2222 has been installed on the bottom of the board instead of through the holes from the top. I have some question about the wiring on the TR relay. all the solder joints look good at first glance. Only time will tell the true story.
The clam shells have been painted a different green. A trip to Wally World is on the list to see how close I can get. The knobs and front panel are in excellent shape. There is a little dust on it but that will be easy. The 21 Mhz push button looks to have been attacked by a soldering iron.
There was quite a bit of microphonics in the audio. The AF gain pot is a little scratchy, otherwise the controls all seem to work ok for the moment.
Below are some other pictures from today's trial run. Next up will be testing the TX side.

WESTPORT — The election of Michael "Ike" Tyler as town justice has left his seat on the Westport Town Council vacant.
Tyler was elected justice in November 2013 and took office Jan. 1 for a four-year term.
Westport Town Supervisor Daniel Connell said Tyler submitted his resignation from the Town Council effective Jan. 1, and the town is now looking to fill the position.
"The town board is requesting letters of interest and resumes from people interested in filling this position through Dec. 31, 2014," Connell said by email.
"To be eligible, applicants must be a registered voter in the Town of Westport."
The person chosen to fill the seat would have to run for the office in this year's November election if he or she wants to continue in the post.
Connell said applications must be received no later than 3 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, at the Town Hall, 22 Champlain Ave., P.O. Box 465, Westport, NY 12993.
For additional information, anyone interested can call Connell at 962-4419.
Connell said he and the Town Council will review the applications, speak with those interested and make a decision, hopefully in February.
The post can be filled by a majority vote of Town Council.
Tyler served 17 years on Westport Town Council; his term would have been up in 2015.
