MCC seeks $1.5 million for emergency food aid
August 25, 2008
AKRON, Pa. – Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is appealing for $1.5 million in financial contributions to provide emergency food assistance to people who are facing hunger in Ethiopia and other countries because of drought and high global food prices.
MCC is working with a partner organization, the Meserete Kristos Church Relief and Development Association (MKC-RDA), to distribute more than 3,000 metric tons of corn, wheat and cooking oil to about 81,000 people in the Boricha and Awassa Zuria districts of southwestern Ethiopia. The Meserete Kristos Church is a Mennonite World Conference member denomination.
Boricha and Awassa Zuria are densely populated districts where many families tend small farms. Local harvests failed in June and July because of inadequate rains in February and March, according to Mekonnen Dessalgn, MCC's Ethiopia program manager.
Meanwhile, food prices have risen sharply throughout Ethiopia, making it more difficult for families who lost their crops to purchase what they need. Corn is more than three times as expensive in Ethiopia as it was a year ago, mirroring a steep rise in the prices of basic foods worldwide, Dessalgn said.
Even in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, children are leaving school early because they do not have enough to eat, Dessalgn said.
"The problem is really very, very critical here," he said.
Earlier this year, some families in Boricha and Awassa Zuria were forced to sell their cattle at low prices to buy staple foods, Dessalgn said.
In June, MCC and MKC-RDA began distributing food in Boricha and Awassa Zuria, and local people stopped selling off their cattle, according to Dessalgn. In exchange for the food, more than 9,000 men and women are working on community projects, including digging reservoirs, building terraces to control erosion and planting trees.
MCC and MKC-RDA are also distributing bean seeds and sweet potato cuttings to more than 3,600 farm families in Boricha and Awassa Zuria.
MCC received funding for these projects from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. However, because of rising prices, MCC needs an additional $1 million to continue distributing food until the end of October, when families will be able to harvest their crops, according to Bruce Guenther, an MCC relief coordinator.
Because of the global rise in food prices, many countries where MCC works are experiencing food shortages. MCC is planning to provide an additional $500,000 in emergency food aid in locations that will soon be determined, according to Ron Flaming, MCC's director of international programs.
Flaming said he expects food shortages to be a continuing, worldwide problem because of climate change, high fuel prices and the use of crops to produce biofuels such as ethanol. MCC is planning a long-term response to this global food crisis that will increase MCC's agricultural development work with low-income farmers, according to Flaming.
"We're going to have to focus more on production in the years ahead," he said.
Contributions to help MCC respond to the global food crisis should be designated "Food for All." They may be made online at mcc.org/donate or to any MCC office.
In Ethiopia:
- $12 will provide supplementary food to one woman and one child for one month.
- $42 will feed a family of six for one month.
- $210 will cover the cost of feeding the family for five months.

Customer Reviews
- Very Impressed Review by Michael
Value Quality Design
I bought the Steinheil Ultra Fine screen protector for my Rogers Optimus G because I was sick of seeing fingerprints all over my phone. I've previously tried the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD on my iPhone 4S, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch (4th gen), and it does not even compare. The Spigen SGP screen protectors are easy to install, leaves no bubbles and they even give you two in the box which is a great value. I was so impressed I ordered the Ultra Oleophobic screen protector for my iPod Touch (4th Gen). Great product!

What's Wrong With A Little Customer Service – In the last 2 weeks I have visited this Business I am very disappointed in the customer service this business has sunken to.I was a very Frequent visitor to this Landscaping business last summer everyone was very helpful and friendly. Well I ask what happen my last 2 visits have been anything but. I walked thru looking for help on Friday could not get anyone to help, the week before I finally had a sales girl who said she would be right with me but had something to do she never came back so after waiting 15 minutes I left went to another nursery and spent $200. I am not sure what is so different from last year but they need to fix their customer service. I will never go back, too bad I really like the plants but Cornell Farms in not to far away and give awesome service.Think before going to 7 dee;s!
Manager spoils great place – Dennis' does have a fabulous selection of plants and planters but lost my business because of a power-tripping manager. He was more interested in being controlling than selling $1000 worth of planters for my deck. He over-ruled a very nice assistant managers decision to unplant two small containers for me. So much for customer service! It felt good to take my business elsewhere and to instruct my gardener and landscaper not to purchase from them in the future.

Customer comments about John Robshaw, Kullu Limited Edition Blockprint, 2012:
This is the second Robshaw block print that I have bought. While the design and color are beautiful and the framing is substantial, I was very disappointed in the quality of the block print itself. The paper was actually wrinkled and framed that way. It should never have been sold with that kind of flaw. This was not a design quirk, this was a quality control issue.

By Gary Brown
If Division III approves legislation at the 2011 Convention that establishes a Division III Men's Volleyball Championship for 2012, parameters will be in place to govern the new championship's playing and practice seasons.
Anticipating a "yes" vote in January on Proposal No. 2011-2-11 (sponsored by the City University of New York Athletic Conference and the Great Northeast Athletic Conference) to begin staging the division's newest championship by 2012, the Division III Management Council at its meeting on Monday approved – at least in concept – guidelines to regulate the length of season, the maximum number of contests and the nontraditional segment.
The parameters mirror those that exist for women's volleyball, with the exception of the length of the playing and practice season (as a fall sport, women's volleyball is subject to an 18-week limit).
However, a couple of them differ from what Division III programs currently playing under the parameters of the National Collegiate championship have been accustomed to. The most dramatic change is in the maximum dates of competition, which under the National Collegiate model have been 28 in the traditional segment and four in the nontraditional.
The extent to which reducing those dates of competition to 22 affects Division III men's volleyball programs may depend on their appetite for playing multiple contests on individual competition dates. Many women's teams conduct some of their nonconference schedules that way, but men's teams typically stage dual-match competitions, in part because there aren't as many Division III men's programs near one another to make round-robins feasible.
So, while men's programs have many more dates of competition, they typically don't play that many more contests.
A USA Volleyball survey of the 55 existing Division III men's teams showed that of the 18 respondents, some were concerned that a reduction in dates would translate to a reduction in competition opportunities. Others, though, were comfortable with modeling the playing and practice season after the women's.
The Management Council's playing and practice seasons subcommittee, meeting a day before the full Council session, noted that volleyball currently is the only sport that has different competition limits for men's and women's teams. Basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, skiing, soccer, tennis, track and field, and water polo all have the same maximum competition limits for men and women. Members of that panel also pointed out that 28 dates of competition is significantly more than any other Division III spring sport (golf, 20; lacrosse, 17; rowing, 20; tennis, 20; track, 18; women's water polo, 21).
The subcommittee and the full Council noted that the new playing and practice season guidelines wouldn't become effective until the 2011-12 academic year, assuming the proposal to establish the championship passes at the January Convention. Also, members noted the availability of a waiver opportunity for institutions that have existing contractual obligations that take them over the 22-date limit.
In other action related to men's volleyball, the Management Council supported a Division III Championships Committee recommendation to establish a four-person committee representing two regions to administer the new men's volleyball championship. That panel will begin its work after the Convention.
Once the championship is established, institutions sponsoring men's volleyball will be divided into two sport regions for the purpose of defining in-region competition and evaluating teams. Two committee members will be assigned to each of those two regions.
The Management Council also supported a recommendation from the Interpretations and Legislation Committee to allow the Division III Championships Committee to determine appropriate conditions for conferences (single or multisport) to receive automatic qualification to the men's volleyball championship as it deems necessary to administer the event. That could include waiving the existing requirement that a conference exist for two years before receiving AQ privileges (though conferences still would need to be granted conference membership by the Division III Membership Committee).
The proposal to establish the championship calls for it to be an eight-team bracket with competition to be held April 19-21 at one finals site for 2012.

Austin >Food & Dining > El Rey
4109 S Capital of Tx Hwy Ste 100, Austin, TX | Directions 7870430.231487 -97.883540
Neighborhoods: West Oak Hill, Barton Hills, South Lamar
Queso was good. – Thank heaven there is a Pok-E-Jo's next door, we started to go there, we should have. We kow where it is and that is enough of an experiance.
Known for their authentic Tex-Mex food and relaxed atmosphere, they have been cooking for Austin in the Brodie Oaks Center for years. Go for the food but stay for the friendly wait staff. – Yellow washed paint with colorful Mexican blankets adorn the walls of this South Austin eatery. Every room offers booth seating, which reinforces the laidback atmosphere inside. Because there is so much natural light coming in from the large windows, there is no need for overhead lighting during lunch hours. This creates a comfortable setting reinforced by the soft rock Spanish music in the background. The three dining rooms offer authentic Tex-Mex classics at an extremely affordable price. Not only are local favorites like mole enchiladas and Baja fish tacos on the menu, items like grilled tilapia and smoked shrimp quesadillas make up two of the 15 items in their healthy, Mex Light, section.
Very nice new owners and staff! – I grew up on the border and eat Mexican food at least 4 meals a week! I like good food and love great salsa, El Rey accomplishes both. Every time my family has eaten here we have consistently had the nicest service! The salsa is the kind of spicy you can't stop eating, they even have off the menu salsa (3 if my memory serves: a chipotle, tomatillo(incredible with the carnitas) and a super hot "fathers"). The carnitas, which are my personal test of choice, are outstanding, the rice reminds me of my grandmothers, the cheese enchiladas the way they should be, and the pizza albeit unusual happens to be really really good! The refried beans weren't super flavorful, but the charro beans sure were! The nachos are kind of slopped together, the stuffed poblano delicious and did I mention the yumtastic carnitas?!!!
Middle of the Road at best – Restaurant was empty on a Wednesday around 6 pm. Seated promptly. Chips were good, salsa was not spicy AT ALL. Very tomato/ketchupy. I had the chicken tostada with fresh fruit. Tostada was very average. Not much flavor. Too much dark meat from the chicken used. Fruit was served in huge pieces (pineapple, melon, etc.). Pain to cut up. Friend got the chicken fajita tacos. Wow, there were like 2 small slivers of chicken in each taco. Rice tasted very bland, refried beans had no taste at all. Also, friend ordered a soup and the server brought it out WITH the meal instead of as an appetizer. Duh, lady! Sent it back, they did not charge us. Overall, this place is very, very, very average and very inoffensive. If you like your food to taste like air, then go here. This is what I imagine Mexican food to be like in really bland, white, midwestern places like Topeka, Kansas or Des Moines, Iowa. Some people like that, others don't. There are just FAR too many outstanding Mexican/Tex-Mex places in Austin to waste your time on this bland food.
Toughest Restaurant Category in Austin – My new favorite restaurant! I have lived in S. Austin for almost 2 decades - consistently the best of flavors and service! Scores above more expensive Tex-Mex and Mex places for me and all that I show it off to! I think I'll go tonite.
We love El Rey!!! – The unique flavors of the authentic mexican dishes are great. Venture from the same old Tex-Mex. Ask about their specialties. GREAT!!!

OpenOffice 3.2 Available
Just in time for the tenth year anniversary of the free office suite is the complete release of OpenOffice 3.2.
The project not only populated its mirrors for its ten years in operation, but counted all its previous downloads and came to 300 million. After five release candidates and somewhat of a delay, the new release starts faster, fixes bugs, plugs potential security holes and provides better compatibility with the Open Document Format (ODF) along with other office program standards, including Microsoft Word.
Among OpenOffice's prominent components is Calc, which in 3.2 has over a dozen new and improved features. Even the Chart module profits in the new version from usability improvements and new chart types, such as Bubble. The project pulled together all the new OpenOffice 3.2 features on its webpage. All the security issues it fixed are listed on its Security Team Bulletin page.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose the cause of anaphylaxis, mastocytosis, or mast cell activation
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms such as flushing, nausea, throat swelling or low blood pressure that may be due to a life-threatening allergic reaction; when your doctor suspects that you have mastocytosis or mast cell activation
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None, but timing of the sample soon after the beginning of symptoms can be important.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of tryptase in the blood. Tryptase is an enzyme that is released, along with histamine and other chemicals, from mast cells when they are activated, often as part of an allergic immune response.
Mast cells are large tissue cells found throughout the body, but in highest amounts in the skin, in the lining of the intestine and air passages, and also in the bone marrow. Mast cells are part of the body's normal response to injury as well as allergic (hypersensitivity) responses. They contain granules that store a number of chemicals, including tryptase and histamine, that are released when mast cells become activated. In the body, mast cells recognize and bind IgE, a special type of antibody that is often increased in people with allergies and parasitic infections. When IgE that is bound to the surface of mast cells attaches to its target (antigen), mast cells become activated and release their contents. The chemicals released from mast cells (especially histamine) are responsible for many of the symptoms in persons with allergies.
Mast cells contain different forms of the enzyme tryptase, termed alpha (α) and beta (β) tryptase, in both inactive (protryptase) and active forms. In the body, beta tryptase is typically the predominant form of mature tryptase. Testing can be performed to measure total tryptase, which is all of the forms together, or mature tryptase, which measures the mature forms of alpha and beta tryptase. Comparison of the results of these two tests in a total-to-mature ratio may be useful in some instances.
Normally concentrations of tryptase in the blood are very low. When mast cells are activated, levels increase rapidly, rising within 15 to 30 minutes, peaking at 1 to 2 hours, and returning to normal after several hours to a couple of days. In persons with severe allergies, activation of many mast cells can cause a severe form of allergic reaction termed anaphylaxis, which can cause low blood pressure, hives (blisters on the skin), severe narrowing of the air passages, and even death. Tryptase levels will be very high in persons with anaphylaxis.
In some cases, tryptase levels will be high in persons with mast cell activation disorders, in which mast cells become activated without apparent allergies or other reasons.
Tryptase levels can also be significantly and persistently increased with mastocytosis, a rare group of disorders associated with the neoplastic proliferation of mast cells and their infiltration and accumulation in the skin (cutaneous mastocytosis) and/or in organs throughout the body (systemic mastocytosis). Systemic mastocytosis may progress slowly and be relatively slowly progressive or may be aggressive, causing organ dysfunction and, in rare cases, causing a form of leukemia.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed, but timing of the sample soon after the beginning of symptoms can be important. Talk to your doctor about the best time to draw your sample.

Now, on the eve of the 35th classic, they have the opposite problem.
There's just too much water.
Superintendents at the three courses in this year's rotation – Anniston Country Club, Cider Ridge Golf Club and Silver Lakes – all have been facing the challenge of bringing their facilities back from more than 5 inches of weekend rain.
They're hopeful of having their courses in playing shape for the 204 two-man teams that will converge on their facilities this weekend, but right now it's a fight against nature.
"It has thrown a huge wrench in our plans," Cider Ridge superintendent Chad Robinson said. "We weren't able to mow greens very much this weekend so we're playing catch up on that and we're really just trying to pump out and dry the front side.
"Honestly, if the tournament was today, you couldn't play the front nine, but if we can have today, tomorrow and Thursday to dry this place down and clean it up, we wouldn't have any issue. If we don't get any more rain the rest of the week, the golf course will be in great shape."
Robinson said his course has taken 6.5 inches of rain since July 3, a deluge that has made the waterfall on No. 12 look like a mini-Niagara, but left portions of holes 4 and 5 underwater. The forecast calls for diminishing chances of rain throughout the weekend.
The tournament traditionally is played on the weekend following the Fourth of July, but officials move it back a week when the date falls later in the week.
It proved to be a fortuitous decision. With all the rain that fell over the weekend "it would have been hard to play last week," tournament chairman Jimmy Flowers said.
It has been a wet year. Silver Lakes superintendent Robert Edmondson said his course took 5 inches of rain over the weekend, boosting its yearly total to 45.83 inches – a half-inch more than it received in all of 2012.
And the course's Champion Bermuda greens are starting to feel the effects. To fight back a disease developing on the greens, officials are verti-cutting more and using more sand than usual.
"The weather has been bad on these type greens," Edmondson said. "If we had bent grass I wouldn't be too stressed about it, but this has been horrible on Bermuda.
"We're finding ourselves doing more to the greens this week and having to hustle. We're having to go to the bullpen a lot this weekend."
Both superintendents hope they won't have to restrict players to the cart paths during the weekend. Sunny King Classic officials were discussing options Tuesday morning.
"We're going to continue to monitor it," Flowers said.

Report claims developer of proposed coal terminals is 'awash in red ink'
By Erik Siemers
Managing Editor
A new report questions the financial viability of one of the companies behind proposed coal export facilities in the Northwest.
Ambre Energy, the Australian company leading the charge on two proposed coal export facilities near Portland, is in a precarious financial position and needs $1 billion in new capital to make the projects work, according to a report released Wednesday by a Seattle-based environmental policy group.
"Ambre Energy is a very dicey proposition for investors," Alan Durning, Sightline's executive director, said in a news release. "State and local governments and potential business partners should be aware of the severe financial risks the company carries."
Brian Gard, a Portland-based spokesman for Ambre, cautioned that the report from Sightline — a group he said is closely aligned with the Sierra Club and its anti-coal campaigns — is far from independent objective research.
Over the past year, around a half-dozen proposals have emerged across the Pacific Northwest for terminals that would take in coal from the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming for transport to Asian markets.
Ambre is leading the two biggest projects in the Portland area. One is the $159 million "Morrow Pacific Project," which involves transporting coal by rail to the Port of Morrow near Boardman, where it would be put on barges, shipped down the Columbia River to the Port of St. Helens and transferred to ocean carriers.
Ambre also owns a 62 percent stake in Millennium Bulk Terminals-Longview, an expected $600 million project to turn a former Alcoa smelter near Longview, Wash., into a private coal export terminal. The remaining 38 percent is held by St. Louis-based Arch Coal Inc.
The Sightline Institute catalogued a laundry list of financial hurdles facing Ambre, making the company a risky bet for both investors and state and federal regulatory officials that would have a say in approving the already controversial coal projects.

Imagination Builder: Lego's Architecture Series
This morning, I took a closer look at the Space Needle box and was relieved to see there are only 57 pieces. The suggested age is 10 and up, so I'm optimistic that I can build this thing and display it in my office. However, if I stumble, I've got at least a half-dozen architects on speed dial to help me out.

7 Comments
Wow, this is so coincidental. My son is hooked on Legos!! ( I claim it's an addiction!). My wife was trying to figure out what to get me for my birthday from my son. I suggested on of the Architect series from Legos. My son go me the Farnsworth series (500+ pieces). I was so excited to get it and we spent a Sunday afternoon putting it together. Of course after we put it together, we had to fight over who could play with it! Anyways, I agree with your comments. I loved putting it together with my son as well as teaching him a little Architectural history at the same time. Thanks for the article.

Alright I have to say that thing does not look terribly like the Space Needle. Is that puny little disc supposed to be the lower deck? And where is the base/lobby? Come on Lego...
I like the idea, but somehow none of them really capture the essence of the structures they are supposed to be. Certainly the Space Needle is pretty far off the mark.
A friend has the Falling Water and although it's cute, it just looks like a generic mid-century house.
And would anyone recognise the Rockefeller Center?
I LOVE it!!! I have loved Legos since I was a little girl. I just recently received a Lego perpetual calendar and have it proudly on my desk at work. I'm so excited to see some "grown-up" sets I can bring to the office.
I have five so far (the cheaper ones, $20 - $25) - Space Needle, Empire State Building, Willis Tower, Hancock Building, and Burj Khalifa. I enjoy putting them together and they are cute to look at :)
Maybe it helps that I work at an architecture college?
I got those a few years ago when I was still in architecture school, and although they aren't perfect reproductions like another reader pointed out, they're pretty fun little tokens of our favorite buildings.
Nice holiday gift idea for the architect BF...

If you picked up a new iPhone 5, did your iCloud, and something's still missing, you might have to move the data over manually. Likewise, if you set your iPhone 5 up as a new device but still want to keep data from a few apps or games, you'll have to move it over manually. iCloud and iTunes are great, but they're not granular.
If you use a Mac, an app like Ecamm's PhoneView is an excellent option. It'll let you browser your old iOS device, copy off just the data you want, and then copy it back to your new iPhone 5. And it's fairly straightforward to do.
Disclaimer: Moving files on your iPhone, or any iOS device for that matter without knowing what you're doing or where you're dropping files can corrupt your file system. Before moving anything, be sure it's what you need to move and that you're putting it in the right location. If you're unsure, we wouldn't recommend proceeding any further.
Note: Our directions are for Mac users using PhoneView but there are many other apps you can choose from in order to pull data off for both Mac and PC. The layout may be different but the process should be similar.
In order to transfer data from one iPhone to another you'll need a few things:
PhoneView does offer a free trial but what you can pull off your device may be limited. We recommend buying it if you want to make sure you're recovering all your data. Then if you ever need it again, you've already got it.
Once you've made sure you're good to go with all of the above, you can move on.
That's it. The next time you launch your app or game on your iPhone 5, it should be just like you left it on your old iPhone.
I love how the picture obviously shows a 30 pin connector, and a iphone 4/4s but says iphone 5.
The entire point of the article is beyond your grasp apparently.... it's all about transferring data FROM an iPhone4/4S TO an iPhone5 - so the picture at the top of the article illustrates the first part of the transaction. DUH.
Really, Mrphatpat? Really?
My son has an IPOD Touch with lots of music. He would like to create a copy of it on his new Mac Pro. He had no other Apple device. He believes that Itunes will only go from computer to Ipod and not the reverse.
Is this program what you should use to do this?
So tell me if I've got this right. I set up an iPhone 5 as a new iPhone (without restoring from iTunes or iCloud) and I can transfer my game and app data to it using this method? Do saves get corrupted or anything? Does it give any problems?
Ally, will this software allow me to move SMS from old iPhone to new unrestored iPhone?
I can see Messages in the pane, just not sure if this will work??
Can you recommend something for windows users?
I personally use i-FUNBOX http://www.i-funbox.com/ It's free and does the same i think care to chime in Allyson?
I'll 2nd that for ifunbox and its free for windows.
I use diskaid 5 its the best app on the market !! Period !
Please tell me how to recover my Boot Login Password MACBook not opening :( too worried any solution?
I followed the steps before I restored my iPhone 4S but when I try to copy to iPhone I keep getting the error: An error occurred copying your files to the device. The destination folder may be read-only (Error 10)

NEGAUNEE - Kingsford's Keaton Parent and Harley Winters wrestled to state individual regional berths in a MHSAA Division 3 district tournament Saturday.
Parent lost in the 125-pound district finals, absorbing a pin (3:12) to Gladstone's Jared Syverson. Winters placed third in the 215-pound weight class.
"Parent had a very tough win gainst Kyle Schmidt from Grayling to make it to the finals," Flivvers coach Torrey Adams said. "Harley Winters had a tough start to the day with a loss in the second round. But he rallied his way back to a third place finish notching three pins on his way to the podium.

ABK: What inspired you to focus on streaming for Neo4j?
MH: Because it is a major aspect for Neo4j to behave as performant as possible, especially with so many languages / stacks connecting via the REST API. The existing approach is several orders of magnitude slower than embedded [note: Neo4j is embeddable on the JVM] and not just one as was originally envisioned.
ABK: What do you mean by "streaming" in this context, is this http streaming?
MH: Yes, it is http streaming combined with json streaming and having the internal calls to Neo4j generate lazy results (Iterables) instead of pulling all results from the db in one go. So writing to the stream will advance the database operations (or their "cursors"). This applies to: indexing, cypher, and traversals.
ABK: Ah, so this isn't for streaming binary data, like video or something, right?
MH: Yes. The "binary" data is actually json-results from the Neo4j REST API .
ABK: Does it require any changes to the existing clients?
MH: The only change that is required is to signal to the server to return the data in a streaming manner. Right now that is through an extended accept header (application/json;stream=true) but that will probably change to a more standards compliant transport encoding header.
ABK: Could a client use this streaming to "page" results?
MH: Good question. In theory yes, but then it would have to keep open the connection and stop receiving until the next page is requested which would probably result in connection hogs and a timeout. But it can be used to just retrieve as much as is needed and then close the connection.
ABK: Is multipart/mixed used to indicate chunks, or is the json stream left in-tact?
MH: Right now the json-stream is left intact. The chunking will be part of the transport encoding negotiation that will be added later. We put that in now (without requiring additional changes on the client) so that we can gather feedback from driver authors and users.
ABK: When will this be available in Neo4j for public review?
MH: it is already available in the SNAPSHOT version of Neo4j and part of the first 1.8 milestone release which is due this week.
ABK: Thanks, Michael. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
MH: And I look forward to your feedback. Thanks, Andreas.
Performance ResultsWith a freshly installed Neo4j 1.8-SNAPSHOT server started, I tried out the streaming as Michael recommended. First, I created a sample data set of 50,000 nodes with a Gremlin one-liner:
(0..50000).inject(0) { count,idx -> v2=g.addVertex(); g.addEdge(g.v(idx),v2,"TYPE"); count+1;}Then from bash I ran curl to compare retrieving query results with and without streaming, the difference just being the ";stream=true" in the accept header.
curl -i -o streamed.txt -XPOST -d'{ "query" : "start n=node(*) match p=n-[r:TYPE]->m return n,r,m,p" }' -H "accept:application/json;stream=true" -H content-type:application/json http://localhost:7474/db/data/cypher curl -i -o nonstreamed.txt -XPOST -d'{ "query" : "start n=node(*) match p=n-[r:TYPE]->m return n,r,m,p" }' -H "accept:application/json" -H content-type:application/json http://localhost:7474/db/data/cypherRunning on my humble Mac laptop, the streaming took 10 seconds to return a complete result transferring between 8 to 15 MB/s for 130MB of data. The normal non-streaming result took 1 minute, 8 seconds to provide the same result and a Heap of 2GB. Pretty impressive. This is something to look forward to in the upcoming milestone release. Check out Michael's blog for even more detail.

A low-pressure system originating from the Gulf of Mexico headed for the Northeast will make for a snowy Saturday in northern New Jersey, according to the National Weather Service.
The fast-moving storm that has deposited precipitation in other parts of the country will likely produce 2 to 4 inches of snow in Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, Union and Essex counties Saturday, with areas to the north and west—Morris, Somerset, Sussex and Warren counties—likely seeing less, meteorologist Lauren Nash said.
"We're still somewhat uncertain about the absolute track of the storm," Nash said, "but it seems very likely northern New Jersey will get just snow and no rain or ice."
The snowfall is expected to begin around 7 a.m. Saturday, Nash said, and should subside about 12 hours later. A chance of flurries and light snowfall is possible through midnight, Nash said.
Travelers heading east Saturday could see hazardous conditions as well, Nash said, as New York City and Long Island are expected to see more of a rain and ice mix from the storm.
The storm is expected to pick up steam as it reaches the coast around the Virginia and North Carolina border, Nash said. Wind gusts during and after the storm could reach 30 miles per hour.
This article is posted on Patch sites across Warren, Morris, Sussex, Somerset, Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Union and Essex counties.

Diplomats Urge Caution on North Korea Nuke Tests: Burkle Center Senior Fellow Kantathi Suphamongkhon Offers His Insight into North Korea
Former diplomat Suphamongkhon shares his expertise on Pyongyang's recent nuclear tests, recommends more communication between the world and North Korea.
Published: Monday, February 04, 2013
Excerpt from article by Ted Regencia:
"Veteran diplomat Kantathi Suphamongkhon had been to Pyongyang several times, and dealt with top officials there. He told Al Jazeera that the last thing the country needs is an an all-out armed conflict.
In one of his trips to Pyongyang as Thai foreign minister a few years ago, Suphamongkhon recalled asking top officials how they would react to a complete withdrawal of US troops from the border with South Korea.
The answer surprised him. Pyongyang, he said, saw the idea as an 'act of destabilisation' instead of a peaceful overture - a sign that the US is getting ready for a missile strike.
The incident, Suphamongkhon said, illustrates North Korea's 'gap of perception' and level of suspicion, which in turn fuels its antagonistic behaviour towards the US and the world.
'There's a lot of misunderstanding going on,' Suphamongkhon told Al Jazeera. 'If one looks into their mind, they see themselves as victims. So their behaviour is logical from that standpoint.'
'There is an extreme fear from their side,' said the former Thai diplomat, adding that this sense of insecurity has fueled the country's 'tendency to be provocative' with its actions. He said that with the latest threats, Kim Jong-un is trying to project his power and assert his leadership after his father Kim Jong-il died in late 2011.
'I see the UN Security Council resolution and all those things as public diplomacy,' Suphamongkhon said. 'But you need that more private diplomacy with a credible person that's acceptable to all sides, to try to bridge that gap. I think that is crucial.'
While strengthening its cooperation with China to continue to monitor North Korea's nuclear activities, in the public diplomacy sphere, the Obama administration should also try a parallel soft-power approach with Pyongyang, he said.
Suphamongkhon said the US had some 'degree of success' in such kind of diplomacy when the New York Philharmonic Orchestra performed in the North Korean capital in 2008.
Unofficial visits similar to Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson made recently, should be also be encouraged, Suphamongkhon added.
'The US can always say that it is not officially sending these people in. But the communication that takes place, I think is something useful,' he said, before specifically suggesting music legend Eric Clapton, who is actually an Englishman, to perform in Pyongyang, apparently hinting at Kim Jong-un's fondness for Western music.
'One thing that is clearly lacking is effective communication between the world and North Korea,' he said."

Great experience! – My wife and I took private dance lessons at TC Dance Club to prepare for the first dance at our wedding. They are SUPER affordable and have great instructors. We were able to learn a few basic steps in just 5-6 lessons. My wife enjoyed the experience and we are now taking lessons just for fun! Highly recommended!
Finally took some dance classes – I finally made time for myself to learn a partner dance which I had been thinking about doing forever. I found TC Dance Club through a friend's recommendation. There are so, so many wonderful things about this studio. The evening receptionists and office manager are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The instructors (I've taken swing and salsa) are professionally accomplished, technique oriented, approachable, fun, and a host of other positive things. They consistently turn out dancers who go on to really love their respective dances, are seen on the social floors around the city, and perform/compete. I highly recommend them.
TC Dance Club gives great instruction. – My fiancee was nervous about learning to dance for our wedding, and the instructor at TC Dance Club put him right at ease. The lesson was smooth and easy, and we were able to learn a dance that looked professional and comfortable in just two lessons. Our friends were very impressed with our newly acquired dancing skills, and several have asked for TC Dance Club's information so that they can get more comfortable when they are out on the dance floor. I highly recommend TC Dance Club for anyone looking to quickly and easily learn to dance.
No sales pressure and great atmosphere – Great Staff & no Pressure sales: I went to TC Dance Club loved everything about it. The staff is made up of great Pro Dancers & there is never sale pressure & on top of that what nice people. They are not like the other schools I've been to where it is just sales,sales, sales....They let you learn the dances that you want to learn, they don't pressure you to do anything, & man they can teach.....Give them a try it will change your life...We've been there for years!
Best in town – TC Dance Clubs is the best dance studio. I've been to a lot of them and found that TC Dance teaches you more and you have better experiences than any of the other places I've been. I've taken quite a few lessons from them and it's been great! Their parties are very unique too. The teachers were all so friendly and made learning easy and fun! This studio's professionalism & dedication to their craft continues to impress me the longer I know them. I highly recommend it to people interested in dancing.
Fantastic place – Can't dance? Neither could I! My husband and I walked into TC Dance Club with no experience, and the teachers were excellent. They have a fantastic staff with tons of experience and they'll have you dancing before you know it. Not only are the teachers fantastic, but the other students are great and you'll quickly make new friends. So whether you've seen "Dancing with the Stars" and want to be like them, or if you just want to feel more comfortable on the dance floor this is the place to be. I'd recommend them to everyone (and frequently do!)!
So if you are reading this because you are thinking about signing up for classes, then stop thinking and go for it! It is great, it is fun and it is healthy. You will love it, and in no time, you will be next one writing a testimonial.
Great place to learn to dance – I started taking lessons at TC Dance Club in April, after I agreed with a certain someone that I would try anything once. Well, after figuring I would absolutely hate it, come to find out I actually like it and have continued taking lessons there for over 8 months now. I have learned a lot about dancing and can actually see myself getting better and remembering steps from week to week. The teachers are all fun to be around and learn from. The parties are fun and you get to learn your steps in a "real" environment with other people. You won't die of embarrassment and you might actually have fun. Try bringing your girlfriend/wife here and they will definitely be digging it!
TC Dance Club hihgly recommended – I love TC Dance Club ! The instructors are great, friendly and very hands-on even in large groups in some of the beginning classes. They have some special events that they are wonderful. The price per class is reasonable because you get plenty of instruction and then dance floor time to try the moves you learned and watch more experienced dancers. Great venue with several rooms and fantastic music! :)
Took dancing lesson for our wedding – We took private lessons here for preparation of our wedding. Kudos to the instructors! My wife and I learned how to dance! The instructor was very patient, nice and friendly. We had a great time learning from great dance teachers. Everyone at our wedding was so impressed that they asked us where we learned. We recommended several of our friends and relatives.
Try it out! – If you're a guy looking for a new hobby this is something you do not need to bring a girl to come with you to learn how to dance. It's social dancing! Everyone is pretty friendly.
You can dance with women of all ages! It's fun and exciting and at some point they were all beginners too!
The people at TC Dance Club are great and many of the dancers travel across the United States to dance. Some even around the world! It's one big happy family.
The owners of this studio are super sweet and will make sure that you feel welcome. Definitely a place to try!

I have been working at Six Flags part-time for more than a year
Pros – Flexible work schedule and not much more.
Cons – Seasonal work, meager pay, infighting, strong nepotism. This company hesitates to fire anyone who isn't a seasonal employee. The divide between seasonal and full time is so great it affects the company creating an us vs. them attitude.
Advice to Senior Management – If you want to acquire and retain quality employee's you need to pay for them. Your pay structure is horrid and your leadership weak and ineffective. Your company is full of people who never left so you promote them because of tenure.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about what factors increase the chance of this type of cancer. To see other pages in this guide, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen, or click "Next" at the bottom.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Although risk factors often influence the development of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and health care choices.
The following factors may raise a person's risk of developing stomach cancer:
Age. Stomach cancer occurs most commonly in people older than 55. Most people diagnosed with stomach cancer are in their 60s and 70s.
Gender. Men have twice the risk of developing stomach cancer, compared with women.
Family history/genetics. People who have a parent, child, or sibling who has had stomach cancer are at increased risk. In addition, certain inherited genetic disorders, such as hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC or Lynch syndrome), and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) may increase the risk of stomach cancer. Learn more about genetics and cancer.
Race. Black people are more likely than white people to develop stomach cancer.
Diet. Eating foods preserved by drying, smoking, salting, or pickling may increase the risk of stomach cancer. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables may help lower the risk.
Bacteria. A common bacterium called Helicobacter pylori, also called H. pylori, which causes stomach inflammation and ulcers, may increase the risk of stomach cancer. However, most people with H. pylori never develop stomach cancer.
Previous surgery or health conditions. People who have had stomach surgery or have pernicious anemia (a severe decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the body does not have enough B12, which is usually because the stomach's is not able to properly absorb the vitamin) or achlorhydria (a lack of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juices, which help digest food) have an increased risk of stomach cancer.
Occupational exposure. Exposure to certain dusts and fumes may increase the risk of developing stomach cancer.
Tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk of developing stomach cancer.
Obesity. Excess body weight increases a man's risk of developing stomach cancer. It is not clear whether obesity increases a woman's risk of stomach cancer.
Choose "Next" (below, right) to continue reading this guide to learn about what symptoms this type of cancer can cause. Or, use the colored boxes located on the right side of your screen to visit any section.
