Memories by a Wisconsin commander of Black troops in the Civil War.
The Negro in the War
Wisconsin attorney George Sutherland (1843-1899) came to Wisconsin as a child and had returned to his native New York for high school when the Civil War broke out. He rose through the ranks to become captain of the 13th Regiment of U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery, raised from ex-slaves in Kentucky, and led them through action in 1864-1865, during which time he was wounded and imprisoned. Finishing his education after the war, he returned to Fond du Lac County and became a well-known lawyer, judge, and state legislator. In this historical address given 25 years after the war, he recounts the history of the formation of Black regiments in the Union Army. On pages 6-9 he offers many personal reflections on life among the Black troops, including memories of their military skill, personal life in camp, and religion.

A former south Georgia judge can practice law again after being cleared of wrongdoing.
Brooks Blitch served for nearly three decades as a Superior Court judge in Clinch County.
He resigned to settle misconduct charges in 2009, and the state bar disbarred him in 2011.
Prosecutors asked the federal court to void Blitch's plea and sentence last fall after the Supreme Court ruled that the law used to convict him only applies to defendants taking bribes or kickbacks.
They never had evidence Blitch exchanged judicial favors for money. Now the high court has reinstated Blitch's right to practice law.

Geography of Saint Kitts and Nevis
|To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article may require rewriting and/or reformatting.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is a twin island country with a total landmass of just 104 square miles (270 km2). The island of St. Kitts, the larger of the two, is 68 square miles (180 km2) in size and is located at latitude 17.30 N, and longitude 62.80 W. Nevis is 36 square miles (93 km2) and located at latitude 17.10 N, longitude 62.35 W, approximately 3 km south-east of St. Kitts. The islands are about one-third of the way from Puerto Rico to Trinidad and Tobago.
The climate of St. Kitts and Nevis is classified as tropical marine with a wet and a dry season. Generally, steady northeast trade winds and tropical oceanic cyclonic movements influence it. Furthermore, the islands enjoy warm even temperatures with a mean of approximately 24–27 °C (75.2–80.6 °F) and the humidity is low at 71%. Seasonal and diurnal variations in temperature are small. Rainfall is mainly orographic and increases in amount and frequency with the altitude. Except for the Southeast Peninsula which is very dry, mean annual rainfall ranges from about 16 inches (406 mm) in the coastal areas, to about 60 inches (1,524 mm) in the central mountain ranges but, from May to October rainfall is heavier while temperatures are a little hotter.
Although the hurricane season officially lasts from June to November, most hurricanes hit during August–November. The 1998 & 1999 Atlantic hurricane season produced 3 hurricanes which battered St.Kitts & Nevis.
Hurricane Georges in 1998 produced strong winds of up to 115 mph (185 km/h) while passing over St.Kitts, downing power lines, telephone lines, and trees across the island. Lack of electricity resulted in damage to water facilities, as well. Georges's high winds caused extensive property damage, damaging 80-85% of the houses on the island, and destroying 20-25% of homes. Many schools, businesses, hospitals, and government buildings lost their roofs, while the airport experienced severe damage to its main terminal and control tower, limiting flights to the daytime. St. Kitts' economy was disrupted from severe agricultural losses, including the devastation of 50% of their sugar crop. In addition, damaged hotels and piers created a long-term impact through lack of tourism - an industry the island relies on. In all, Hurricane Georges caused 5 fatalities, left 3,000 homeless, and resulted in $445 million (1998 USD) in damage on the island. Nevis fared better. Like on St. Kitts, high winds downed power and telephone lines, damaging the water system there. 35% of homes on the island were damaged, though none were destroyed. Rainfall and debris killed several hundred livestock and seriously damaged coconut trees, amounting to $2.5 million (1998 USD) in agricultural damage. There were no casualties reported on the island, and damaged amounted to $39 million (1998 USD).
Hurricane Jose in 1999 cause minor damage because the hurricane passed northward and flooding was the principal hazard as several main roads were washed out and landslides were reported. Rainfall were 12 to 15 inches (305 to 381 mm).
Also in 1999, Hurricane Lenny became the strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded in the month of November. Hurricane Lenny's storm track was unique in the recorded history of hurricanes. It started life tracking across the Atlantic as a tropical depression and tropical storm in the normal direction (east to west). Then it stalled, changed direction completely, became hurricane-strength and progressing west-to-east through the Caribbean Sea. This triggered storm surge, strong winds, and 12-foot (3.7 m) waves on the more vulnerable western coasts of St. Kitts and Nevis, causing significant beach erosion and flooding. Lenny dumped 20–25 inches (508–635 mm) of rain.
In October 2008, Nevis was brushed with the edge of Hurricane Omar. Among other establishments, The Four Seasons resort was forced to close to undergo repairs and restoration. Hurricane Omar thus caused the loss of 600 jobs for over 2 years; the resort reopened on 15 December 2010.
In August 2010, there was some damage on Nevis from Hurricane Earl, and in September 2010, there was some damage from Hurricane Igor.
The island of St. Kitts is composed almost exclusively of volcanic rocks of andesite or dacite mineralogy. Its geology is similar to that of other volcanic islands in the Lesser Antillean Archipelago. The islands are the summits of a submerged mountain range which forms the eastern boundary of what is known as the Caribbean Tectonic Plate. St. Kitts is oriented northwest-southeast, about 80 km long and 16 km wide. The entire island archipelago is geologically young, having begun to form probably less than 50 million years ago, during the Miocene era. Volcanic activity occurred along the ridges of this arc during the Miocene era and has continued since.
Nevis is a volcanic island that began its formation in mid-Pliocene times (approximately 3.45 million years ago). However, the island comprises a number of discrete eruptive centers that range in age from mid-Pliocene to Pleistocene, these prevent any single model of the island's geological evolution. The geology of Nevis can be subdivided into four informal units: Volcanic of the eruptive centers, volcanigenic rocks - pyroclastics and lahars, fluviatile and lacustrine deposits, and raised beaches.

Redesigned blue stripe $100 bill enters circulation on October 8th
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Misc. Tech
The newly redesigned $100 bill is set to go into circulation in the US on October 8th, 2013, according to the Federal Reserve Board. The new bill note was first shown off back in 2010, with the design being focused on making the Benjamins more difficult to counterfeit, including a new blue 3D security ribbon and a Liberty Bell that disappears depending on how you hold the note. The new $100 bill was originally slated to go into circulation back in February 2011, but the 2 year and 8 month delay is due to an "unexpected production delay."

French authorities nab Android Trojan horse maker
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Google, Misc. Tech, Mods / Hacks, Software
Yet another case of malware found on Google Play. A 20-year-old man suspected of an elaborate Android Trojan SMS scheme was arrested in France. The alleged hacker tallied over 17,000 Android users that installed malicious software posed as copy cat apps. The scheme works by sending SMS messages at a premium cost. The hacker then earns a micro-transaction fee, leaving the unsuspecting user with an unexpected hefty monthly bill.
The hacker informed French authorities that he was more motivated by the technical aspect than monetary gain and had goals of becoming a software engineer. Cyber criminals have made inroads into making malware in the Android platform partly because the Google Play Store is open and is not curated and vetted for security like Apple's App Store. Hackers have created clone malware of popular apps like Skype, Instagram, and Angry birds. Some of these apps steal personal information and passwords and can capture pretty much anything you type.
Computer venders Security, like Sophos, strongly advise Android users to be vigilant and also install their free anti-virus security suite.

Lexus CinePrint ad uses iPad to merge print and digital to promote 2013 Lexus ES (video!)
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Misc. Tech, Transportation
Lexus calls it CinePrint, we call it brilliant. The luxury auto maker has created a very nifty interactive marketing ad, which utilizes a user's iPad to bring a 2013 Lexus ES to life in a magazine. From a marketing standpoint, the illustration is very impressive and gets the reader involved in the process of merging print and video. This is surely lacking when just reading a static page or watching a traditional car commercial on TV, at which point we usually just turn the page or tune out. It's still an ad, but it's pretty freaking cool. Check out the video after the break.

StoryBundle launches its next e-Book pack focused on crime and thrillers
Posted by Ponzi Black Categories: Hot Deals, Misc. Tech
We talked about StoryBundle back in August, when their first bundle launched with 7 Sci-Fi indie books. Now they're back with 7 more crime and thriller books.
The concept is still the same as last time. They take the indie game bundle model and bring it to ebooks. You can pay whatever you want for five DRM-free books, but if you pay more than the bonus price of $7, you get two bonus books. You decide how much to give to the authors, how much to give to StoryBundle to keep the business going, and you can choose to donate part of your purchase to one of two charities. That's good enough to make it our Deal of the Day.

In an interview, the way you dress influences the interviewer's first impression of you. Dressing professionally demonstrates respect, and also shows the employer that you take the interview seriously. It can also boost your own self-confidence during the interview.
In the workplace, the way you dress is important because it affects how others perceive you. If your clothes are clean, neat and professional, it shows that you take pride in yourself and your position. When meeting with a superior or a client, your professional dress instills confidence in them about your abilities. In fact, according to one survey (careerbuilder.com), 93 percent of executives believe that an employee's style of dress at work influences his or her chances for promotion.
These days, there is a wide range of acceptable dress in the workplace, from very casual to formal. You should familiarize yourself with the employer's dress policy, and be observant of the company's culture. In both an interview and in the workplace, it is always best to err on the side of caution. When in doubt, select more professional, conservative clothing. Do you need to purchase a suit or other professional dress attire but don't have much money to spend? Then check out the this link for some places to shop.

Service was excellent and the food was the best indian food i've had in spokane
Authentic Indian Food – I went to the Top if India restaurant in Spokane Valley, WA and had their lunch buffet. I always like buffets because of the variety of food to choose from.
I really liked their chicken curry. I also liked their bread. They told me that it was authentic food from India - they way they cooked over there using a Tandoori clay cooker.
I looked that up on the internet and it is like cooking bread in a vertical position in a cylinder.
Their other food was also very good. Most of it I did not know what it was called, but I left the restaurant very full.
I will go there again and recommend it to you also.
If you haven't had Indian before, go here. – We came here not knowing what to expect and ended up being very glad we came. Our experience here has opened our eyes completely to this new kind of food. The staff did an amazing job helping us choose what to order (my husband is a picky eater) and even he liked the food. If you go in you have to try the Shish Kebab lamb appetizer and the tikka masala curry. Since then I've order carry out twice and my husband and I can't wait to go back.

The Railroaders committed a pair of errors in the bottom of the first inning, helping Elko post seven runs on the scoreboard. Sparks was unable to battle back from the seven-run hole, dropping the contest 13-3 in five innings.
Sparks didn't help its own cause in the batter's box either, unable to get the timely hit it needed to stay within striking distance. The Railroaders left the bases loaded in two separate innings and managed just three hits in the contest.
"Elko's pitcher stifled us," Sparks coach Frank Avilla said. "It's not that we didn't hit her. It's just one of those things where she kept us off balance and we weren't getting solid hits."
After the Indians posted the seven-spot in the first inning, with just three of the runs to cross the plate earned, Elko added another run in the second for an 8-0 edge.
Sparks managed to push home a pair of runs in the top of the third to bring the score to 8-2, but the Indians responded with two of their own in the bottom half of the frame for a 10-2 advantage.
Following a Railroaders run in the top of the fifth, Elko scored three runs in the bottom of the inning to enforce the 10-run mercy rule.
Sparks finished its spring campaign with a winning record of 14-13.
"We can continue to keep looking forward," Avilla said. "These girls are dedicated. They worked hard and they're going to continue to work hard through the summer. They've shown a desire to better the program at Sparks High. I'm proud of them. They're definitely Sparks High Railroaders."

Yes, you read that title correctly. A recent study shows that relationships improve your odds of survival by a whopping 50%. The data comes from a study of 308,849 individuals, followed for an average of 7.5 years. Metaphorically speaking, that's just as important as the items you choose to include in your emergency survival kits.
Of course, most of us can relate to our own families, but relationships are not limited to family ties. They extend to friends, colleagues, neighbors and members of our communities. Professor Holt-Lunstad, one of the authors of the study, says "when someone is connected to a group and feels responsibility for other people, that sense of purpose and meaning translates to taking better care of themselves and taking fewer risks."
To help illustrate the impact of the findings, the study listed these examples of how low social interaction compares to more commonly known risk factors:
- Equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day
- Equivalent to being an alcoholic
- Twice as harmful as obesity
So what does this all mean for my family and I?
Reaching out and socializing more often with friends, neighbors and community members gives us:
- more purpose to live
- a larger physical support system when emergencies strike
- a stronger emotional support system in the aftermath of a disaster
So, invite your close extended family members over for dinner more often, say "hi" to that quiet neighbor across the way, and introduce yourself to another parent on your child's soccer team. You just might live longer. And you'll be thankful for the extra helping hands when you're faced with an emergency.

Armand Lobato,
The Produce Aisle"Drag it through the garden?"
I was confused at a Chicago hot dog stand a couple of weeks ago when the vendor asked me this question. Without hesitation I agreed.
What followed was a lightning-fast assembly of my dog. The vendor slathered the red hot with mustard, onions, pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato wedges, hot peppers and a dash of celery salt.
"Ketchup?" I asked.
"Bite your tongue, he muttered. "Anything here you haven't seen in a garden?"
This brief exposure to the Windy City's nomenclature of dressing up the common hot dog made me think about how well a produce department is prepared for summer's demand for fruits and vegetables.
Just imagine for a moment examining your produce stand and try to evaluate it from a customer's point of view.
How is the section of leafy greens? Fresh, clean and not packed together too tight?
All the fixings nearby in good shape as well? Radishes, cucumbers, green onions, peppers and more?
Nearby, how's the selection and freshness of other essentials in your produce department "garden" offerings? Melons easy to shop out of shipper bins? Cut melons nearby, fresh and an assortment of sizes and varieties? Berries culled and bananas neatly arranged for fruit salads?
Neatness counts
All displays nice and level, too? This is often a point of contention with some managers.
"The stuff is out there — what does it matter how it looks?" some may ask.
Produce is a lot like nice landscaping. When the displays are neatly stacked and mostly level the appearance is at its best. And when the produce offerings are optimal, the impulse to purchase is at its peak.
In other words, when a display is easy on the eyes, sales will be at their best as well.
It's always a good idea for a produce manager to talk a quick walk around the department several times a day to see how things are looking in the "garden." Sometimes he can spot a potential issue that needs attention right away, such as a depleted ad display or a section of a table or rack that needs a good straightening. Many tasks and quick culling can be done on the spot but a smart produce manager delegates the more, time-consuming projects.
Using your customer point of view can help reveal everything from a need to get the floor swept and mopped to something as simple as noticing the plastic bags and twist-ties need attention.
Customer's shopping and buying habits are really not unlike the Chicago hot dog vendor. A shopper fills their carts just as a vendor adorns the hot dog with produce selections.


text: Pam Golden Archives Ramp Up For Soybean Rust in 2006 National Soybean Rust Symposium in Nashville explores what went right and what can be improved for 2006 when the disease is expected to hit harder. Pam Golden Published on: Nov 16, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The take home message from the National Soybean Rust Symposium that opened Tuesday in Nashville is this: the sentinel plot system is a keeper, the modeling programs are a good start. Both worked in 2005 and both will be tweaked and improved for 2006. What also worked is the chemical menu that companies quickly ramped into the system, a vast majority of which were granted Section 18 labels for soybean so growers could arm themselves against the virulent disease. The greatest strength of the sentinel program, which included specially planted sentinel plots of both kudzu and soybean as well as naturally occurring fields of kudzu and commercial planted soybean fields, is that Extension was able to tell growers when rust was in the area. And when it was not. "We were able to say 'We don't have any soybean rust in this state,'" University of Wisconsin Extension pathologist Craig Grau says in the opening session of the symposium in Nashville, Tenn. To put it simply, University of Kentucky Extension pathologist Don Hershman says, "It worked." "I hope the growers have a high degree of confidence that what we did did make a difference," Hershman says. The national numbers for 2005 lined up this way: 140 first detections of rust in 130 counties. Of those, Hershman reported, 106 were in soybean, including 31 in sentinel plots. More that 75% of the finds were in fields at R5 or later. The disease always was found in the lower canopy and low-level detections were identified in the lab rather than the field. "The experience in the South is you've really got to look at these leaves under a microscope," Hershman says. For 2006, then, Extension will look at using fewer sentinel plots and more closely and regularly examining samples from all fields in the laboratory. "I think in the future we will see fewer plots, but they should be monitored more intensely," Hershman says. More than one symposium presenter pointed out that when soybean rust is found the grower can win the battle. The key is timeliness of the first application – and using the right chemical. "If you miss the application window, you're going to be playing catch-up the rest of the season," says James Bloomberg, of Bayer CropScience.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

Accuser Recants Claims Against Elmo Puppeteer
The man who claimed he had a sexual relationship with Kevin Clash when he was just 16 now says he lied. According to a statement from the accuser's attorney, he "wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship." Clash, who has provided the voice for Sesame Street's Elmo for almost 30 years, has admitted to the relationship but said the man was of legal age at the time.

I am a passionate and enthusiastic learner and teacher who is interested in encouraging and assisting the development of diverse students at various levels with numerous learning styles, strengths and weakensses. I am devoted to tailoring my instructional methods to meet the individual needs and interests of students while working with them to meet their short-term and long-term educational goals related to both skills development (reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking) and content acquisition. I believe in preparing students to be successful 21st century citizens by embracing and building upon their learning experiences that have taken place both inside and outside of the classroom. My teaching experience in the private school setting has taken place at The Lovett School in Atlanta, GA and at Culver Academies in Culver, IN. I have a Masters degree in English Education for grades 7-12, have experience tutoring, have taught AP courses, SAT and ACT test preparation, and have instructed interdisciplinary studies courses. I am excited to work with students who are looking to develop mastery and move into and excel in AP classes as well as those who are struggling to grasp concepts and need to develop skills that are needed in order to be successful in the coming school year.

At Ohio State University my undergraduate major was English and I graduated with honors and a 3.7 grade point average. I went on to get my Masters degree in Secondary English Education and graduated with a 3.9 grade point average, and for the past four years I have taught English and American Studies in private schools. I have a passion for writing and literature, and I also have experience preparing students for standardized tests.
I have taught SAT prep as a part of my English course instruction to high school students (grades 9-12) at college preparatory schools for the past four years.
Public speaking is one of the core competencies in many schools and in the workplace, and it is an essential skill to master in order to participate in both the classroom and the "real world". In my experience teaching public speaking, both extemporaneous and prepared experiences are necessary and there are 9 essential components which are as follows: eye contact, inflection, poise, posture, volume, enunciation, tempo, fluency and gestures. Students will initially learn the importance of each...

we found the loft as described 'amazing' we loved it from the first minute we entered the room - we are a family of four and had a great time there. we loved being welcomed by the monkeys - the spacious rooms and terrace - well equipped kitchens - lovely decorations - location (very close to bus station - we did not need a car to go to manuel antonio, quepos, beach ...) a lot of good restaurants in very close neighborhood (falafel bar etc...) Maykol is very friendly and helpful - we tried the mangrove boat trip by night and we will never forget this unbelievable experience with super guides)
"Wow" is an understatement! We arrived with our two adult kids (ages 26 & 22) and walked around the loft for an hour in awe, repeating, "wow, this place is amazing". Balconies, spiral stair case, ceramic tile and floors, spaciousness, windows, sound system, A/C, monkeys, it was just incredible. And Maykol was the best host we have ever encountered. He was genuinely committed to ensuring our stay was enjoyable.with outstanding recommendations that proved to be excellent.
The loft in Manuel Antonio was great. The best was breakfast with the monkeys. Everyday we saw at least a couple of troops through the trees.
Another highlight was walking across the street to the pizzeria for some night time swimming.
Maykol was great to work with and very responsive to any questions or concerns.
We had a great stay at The Loft! Adam was easy to communicate with, from time of inquiry to trip's end. Maykol, the on-site manager, was a fantastic host as well. He doesn't live far and can help with ANYTHING you need, from car service to recommendations to tours and even massage services.
The loft itself is just as spacious as pictured. Clean, with great A/C units. And every morning, around 8:30, we were visited by different wildlife--Capuchin monkeys, Spider monkeys and a sloth! The sound system was awesome--just hook up your iPod, mp3 player or cellphone and it's a snap. Lots of restaurants and grocery stores in the area and the bus stop is just a few steps down the hill. We've already started planning a return trip. Thanks again!
All I can say is WOW
The Loft exceeded our expectations. Roomy, private, comfortable, air-conditioned. We were 2 couples and 2 adult teenage children.
The kids slept in a glass room surrounded by jungle, They could monitor the 3 toed sloth in the tree outside their window. Watch squirrel and capuchin monkeys wrestle and play. Marvel at the waterfall produced by the Tropical rainstorm. Hear and see theplants, flowers and creatures that made the jungle their home.
Spa robes, and beach towels for everyone, Yoga mats for enhanced relaxation. Sails are carefully placed to provide privacy but not block the light streaming in the windows of the loft.
The location is awesome, a 285colones bus ride to 3 beautiful beaches at Manuel Antonio Park 2 km away or a 2km walk to Beizans beach for a more intimate experience and snorkeling.
Open air restaurants within walking distance. Fruit that is so fresh the taste lingers for hours, or the traditional beans and rice with eggs, chicken, beef or seafood. All delicious.
Maykol manages the loft and gives excellent advice for tours.
He is easily contacted via email, no need to have phone service.
We did the Horseback riding with Finka Valmy Tours, ATV tour with Fourtrax, Manuel Antonio Nature guide, and best of all the Night Mangrove Tour with Jade tours. All arranged by Maykol.
No need to rent a car,We were picked up at the Loft by air-conditioned vans, most tours included a meal which was delicious and satisfying.
The loft was very reasonably priced and could easily accommodate 4 to 5 couples.
We also used Jaco360 tour company to transfer us from San Jose to Manuel Antonio, included the Zip Line (14 )in Jaco and a stop to see the crocodiles to break up the trip.
Can't wait to go back and do it all again.
This is a very nice, informal living space. The rooms are fairly open, but for us it worked well. The signs say spa uno -NOT the Loft. No one knows where the Loft is, so ask for Spa Uno.
Our host Maykol was nice and helpful. The cleaning service every day was great, as is the laundry facilities. towels, etc.
Excellent space for 2 families sharing a vacation.
Wonderful location, very spacious, clean and open porch.
Saw monkeys one morning, was sad they didn't come back the next. Had a great time and will return.
The Loft esta muy bien! Totalmente recomendado.
the place is great! really close to the beach and all restaurants in manuel antonio. very well kept and clean house. comfy beds and monkeys come an knock on your window. very friendly maid service and management.
thank you, every one had a fun and pleasant stay.
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

Attack The Block Wins 5 Silver Lenas Awards!
The Coolest Film of the year (as decided by the 31st Silver Lenas nominators), the low budget tale of aliens attacking a block in south London has earned debut director Joe Cornish's film a place in a four way tie for second in most awards earned (with Bridesmaids, X-Men:First Class and Green Lantern). This shows again the Silver Lenas nominators willing to overlook the lack of flashy effects and understand that it doesn't take hundreds of millions of dollars to present a decent sci-fi tale. Any way you look at it, 5 awards out of 11 nominations is a decent haul. Most notably though, there was no breakthru for the individual actors as none of the 5 nominees won in their respective categories. And while Joe didn't manage a Coolest Director award, he did score a consolation prize with an award for Best Original Screenplay.
The film was also the first ever to win The Dario, The Death Machine and Best Monstercraft awards!
Attack The Block's Awards are listed below:
Coolest Film
Best Original Screenplay Joe Cornish
Best Monstercraft
The "Dario" Award For Most Spine-Crawlingest Creepiness
The "Death Machine" Award For Excellence In No-Budget Filmmaking

Arctic algae crusts preserve climate data
Courtesy of Nick Caloyianus
Thick-crusted algae living on the seafloor of the Arctic Ocean hold 650 years' worth of data on sea-ice cover.
A new study analyzing the crusty records of the Arctic algae Clathromorphum compactum shows that sea-ice coverage in the Arctic, North Atlantic and North Pacific has been declining steadily since 1850. The underwater record also reveals that the 20th century had the lowest sea-ice cover of the last 646 years, researchers report November 18 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The algal crusts record information about yearly sea-ice coverage much like trees' rings preserve data about annual precipitation. Arctic algae's sea-ice records could offer scientists a new tool to reconstruct climates much farther back in history, which could help to improve climate models of the future, the scientists suggest.

Thanks to irrational panic there are more people legally and illegally armed than at any time since I can remember. "Kumbaya," "We Are The World" and "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" have become the beloved songs of the left-wing liberals. The United States is on a downward spiral that, unless stopped, will lead to untoward consequences effecting negatively on all of our lives.
The Arab world is and has been for some time falling apart, Europe is plagued by riots and failing economies, Africa is no better off and, to top all this, Russia and China continue to prosper as never before to the chagrin of our foreign, liberal experts. Let's all join hands and sing the aforementioned songs and also "Let The Rest Of The World Go By" and surely by the second song everything will be just "Fine And Dandy." Peace and love abounding, bluebirds of happiness, blue skies above, mortgage foreclosures accelerated, the dollar worth a nickel, skyrocketing unemployment, and the economy in the tank.
However, look yonder, faithful liberals, there's a rainbow in the sky along with pie in the sky. Of course, everyone will be monetarily equal, billions of dollars still being funneled overseas to countries that despise us and continue to kill our and allied troops. Now everybody sing loud as you can, maybe to drown out your sorrows. How about one for the chief, "I've Got The World On A String Sitting On A Rainbow Got The String Around My Finger." Sad part is, the string is about to break. Title: "Going My Way," sung by Bing Crosby.

Washington, D.C. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Members of Congress held a portrait unveiling in the Capitol this afternoon for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert. The longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, Dennis Hastert was the 51st Speaker of the House, serving from 1999 to 2007. Below are Speaker Pelosi's remarks:
"Today we come together to salute Speaker Hastert for his leadership, his decency, and his long record of distinguished service to the Congress.
"As all of my colleagues who have spoken I'm sure will attest, looking around here you see the continuity of the Congress -- it's almost like a family.
"Of course we have the great Bob Michel -- the former Republican Leader in the Congress, and not only that, we have his successor from Peoria. He is now the Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood.
"We see the dean of the Congress of the United States, John Dingell, the longest-serving person in the history of the House of Representatives. And we see so many other great leaders who have served since Mr. Dingell came to Congress.
"So we all join to welcome the Michel family, to Jean Hastert and the entire Hastert family. Thank you for sharing Dennis Hastert with us for such a long time.
"Almost all of Speaker Hastert's life, as you heard and as you know, has been devoted to public service. He came into government service after 16 years as a teacher. What better service to our country than that? And, as you know, he served as a coach. He put those skills to good use in this body.
"Ever proud of his roots, he brought the values of the heartland and Illinois's 14th District to the Speaker's office.
"As a Member of Congress, Dennis Hastert served with distinction. As Speaker, he broke records: becoming the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history. On other occasions I have said: 'Long may his record stand.' But not today. [Laughter.]
"This is a testament to his leadership within the Republican Conference and also within the halls of Congress.
"Though we may not always agree on issues -- not always -- Speaker Hastert and I, and all of you gathered here today, agree on the importance of public service. Distinguished public service has been the hallmark of Speaker Hastert's career, whether in the classroom or in the House of Representatives.
"Today, we also recognize Speaker Hastert's wife, Jean, and his two children, Ethan and Joshua. And his grandchild who is leading the applause in the front row here.
"As we all know, the Speaker has left Congress with a legacy of service and leadership. He also gave a very special gift to America. The chaplain and Leader Michel have already referenced his leadership at the time of 9/11.
"But I'd also like to thank him once again and publicly for a great gift. Several years ago, thousands of Americans streamed into the Rotunda of the Capitol. They came to pay their final respects to Rosa Parks, the first woman to ever lie in honor in the Capitol of the United States. That would not have been possible without the leadership of Dennis Hastert, who made it so. Thank you, Dennis, for making that possible.
"In Congress, we all hold the title 'honorable' by virtue of our office. Dennis Hastert holds that title by virtue of his character.
"Speaker Hastert's presence will now again grace these halls every day. His portrait will stand in testament to his leadership and his integrity.
"Thank you for your gift to America, Speaker Dennis Hastert."

Mentor Graphics First to Provide Co-Verification Support for MIPS32 34K Multi-Threading Processor Cores
WILSONVILLE, Ore., March 12, 2007 – Mentor Graphics® Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced a new processor support package (PSP) for the MIPS32® 34K™ family of processor cores. Developed jointly with MIPS Technologies, this new C-based PSP supports transaction-level (TLM) and register-transfer level (RTL) simulation to give engineers a consistent platform upon which to view, validate and co-verify the multi-threaded hardware/software interactions occurring on the 34K processors.
Processing multiple software threads in parallel, the MIPS32 34K cores deliver significant gains in system performance and cost savings, with a very modest increase in die size. However, taking full advantage of these capabilities requires a powerful verification approach that allows designers to see parallel operations simultaneously.
"In multi-threaded processing, the hardware/software interactions of the system become intensely complex. Mentor Graphics' processor support package gives our customers insight into high-level activity across multiple threads, as well as detailed activity on any single thread," said Jack Browne, vice president of marketing at MIPS. "The result is a design flow that makes it easier for our customers to maximize the performance potential of applications based on our 34K processor family."
The cycle-accurate PSP for MIPS32 34K processors is designed to work with the Mentor Graphics Seamless® co-verification tool, the first co-verification tool to support the 34K core family. The Mentor Graphics solution supports detailed views of the design, down to registers, system busses, and memory activity. The new Seamless PSP also supports comprehensive views of a 34K core's virtual processing elements (VPEs) and thread contexts (TCs) to simplify verification and debug of software execution in a multi-threading system which can even include multiple operating systems running on a single 34K core. These capabilities enable engineers to optimize system performance and resolve hardware/software integration problems early in the design cycle, avoiding late-stage silicon re-spins that can cost millions of dollars.
"Mentor Graphics teams with industry-leading CPU vendors like MIPS Technologies to help our mutual customers maximize the value of their processor investments," said Serge Leef, general manager of the System-Level Engineering Division at Mentor Graphics. "With this Mentor/MIPS combination, hardware engineers get a consistent, efficient system validation and co-verification platform that they can leverage throughout their electronic system level (ESL) and traditional RTL design processes."
The Seamless PSP for the MIPS32 34K family is currently available from Mentor Graphics. For technical and pricing information, please email email@example.com. To find additional product information and white papers, register for free Seamless workshops and functional verification seminars, please visit www.mentor.com/products/fv/hwsw_coverification/.
