Patient Comments: Vitamin D Deficiency - Tests
What were your reasons for getting tested for a vitamin D deficiency?
Comment from: Jonathon, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: July 08
I am affected by weather changes. Sudden highs/sudden lows would leave me feeling like I went through a meat grinder. I have whole body ache, extreme fatigue and brain fog. Often I am very sleepy, sometimes I am mentally/emotionally fine, other times I feel depressed, as if there is pressure on brain. Headaches are always part of the weakness. I am 65 and in excellent health. I am health conscious, a strict vegetarian, no alcohol, no drugs; good wholesome outlook on life. I meditate. This condition has been getting worse over the years. I am outside a lot, but must not be absorbing vitamin D from the Sun. So I got tested for vitamin D deficiency and the doctor has put me on 50,000 IU of vitamin D twice a week for next 8 weeks.
Comment from: linda, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 23
After having a total thyroidectomy the endocrinologist checked my vitamin D level and I was below 5. I am taking the 50,000 UI once a week for 8 weeks. I didn't even know it was low. I am glad she checked.
Comment from: 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 01
My reasons for getting tested for a vitamin D deficiency were feeling very cold, especially on my knees and thighs, getting goose bumps, losing weight, and developing dark marks around the eyes.
Comment from: LF, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: November 21
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2013. I am currently taking 100 mcg of levothyroxine. I went back to the general physician as I was still feeling symptoms of (what I thought was) my thyroid not working properly, namely, tiredness/fatigue, lack of motivation to get up and go, brain fog (confused a lot), anxiety and depression. I also had diarrhea (type 5 or 6) for around a fortnight which wasn't normal for me. I started on the vitamin D supplements yesterday and hoping to see an improvement soon.
Comment from: Dpl, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: May 21
My vitamin D deficiency showed up in my yearly blood test.
Comment from: jess 58, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: April 25
I suffer from constant belching and gas pain, it turns out that my LDL is high along with low vitamin D. My doctor told me to start taking vitamin D supplement. I ordered red yeast rice 600 mg capsule and vitamin D 1000 IU to take as daily supplement hoping that my symptoms will go away and LDL level will be normal in 6 months.
Comment from: Laramie Morris, 45-54 Male (Caregiver) Published: November 08
I have been suffering with severe headaches, body aches, bone pains, foggy memory, lack of focus and concentration and insomnia for more than 4 years. Initially I was treated with Prozac and Valium but though the sleep improved, I used to feel tired and exhausted, even after sleeping for 10 hours. I kept on with my medication till one day another doctor suggested that I do a Vitamin D level which turned out to be 0 ng/ml. I have been started on One-Alpha 0.25mcg capsules but I am not improving. I have read the literature and it says that I should get 50,000 IU per week for 8 weeks followed by 10000 IU daily for another 8 weeks followed by 1000 IU daily forever but I don't know how to convert IU into nanograms or micrograms and neither do the pharmacists around.

"[Human_Error] definitely gets my vote for Occult-themed genre-hopping psych-prog album of the year. Also easily takes the best theremin soloing trophy. Much like with the Lesbian album in 2010, I just kind of fell into an addictive wormhole with this for a while.

Things Mainstream Reporters Can't Say: Mitt Romney Is Lying About The Environmental Protection Agency
by Miles Grant, via The Green Miles
It's not that Mitt Romney doesn't have his facts straight about the Environmental Protection Agency. It's not that reasonable people can disagree with the Environmental Protection Agency about the best approach to solving a set of problems.
Mitt Romney is choosing to lie about the Environmental Protection Agency because he thinks that will give him a political advantage.
But as Paul Krugman said on ABC's This Week, "The press just doesn't know how to handle flat-out untruths," so you get articles like this in Politico today:
The GOP presidential nominee is telling voters in Colorado, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia that Obama's EPA is to blame for wiping out the coal industry. Romney and his surrogates are warning Iowans of EPA plans to regulate for farm dust and railing against the agency for flying airplanes over livestock operations to spy for dirty water.
In many instances, Romney's EPA attacks stretch the boundaries of what the agency actually does or can do. The EPA has repeatedly denied any plans for new farm dust rules, and the planes have been used as a cost-cutting enforcement measure dating back to the George W. Bush administration. Energy experts say the coal industry's problems are a byproduct of all-time lows in natural gas prices rather than new air pollution requirements that have been subject to legal battles for more than a decade.
Mitt Romney says something that's not true. Even after widely-available facts to the contrary are pointed out, Mitt Romney keeps saying it anyway. We'll have to leave it there.
How can you tell Romney's lies are calculated and deliberate? Because he often shifts between lies and the truth depending on his audience. Talking to the Republican National Convention? Global warming's a joke. Talking to scientists? Global warming's serious business. It's part of the fabric of his campaign, as Romney's brazen lies in the first presidential debate about his $5 trillion tax cut plan and letting insurance companies deny coverage to sick people showed.
Romney is counting on articles like this to make his clear-cut lies seem debatable. As media critic Jay Rosen writes, "a post-truth campaign for president falls into the category of too big to tell."
As usual, The Onion can say it, but political reporters can't. "People are usually too afraid to ask me straight up if I'm lying, because that is apparently not something you ask someone who is running for president."

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, maybe . . .
The RAPID RATE of Romney's speech during the debate is one thing I have not heard anyone mention.
There is a reason they call it "fast-talking". The combination of gish-gallop logic, assertiveness, and rapid speech can really dazzle the un-thinking. But look out for the ire of the formerly-razzle-dazzled independent voter, once they slow down enough to pick Mitt's statements apart.
There was a time when reporters loved to tell truth to power, and to inform the public about politicians' lies. Those days are gone, at least in the mainstream media. We have Taibbi and Kunstler nipping at their heels, but even nontraditional blogs are way too deferential. This has to change.
This crippling difficulty in calling a spade a shovel is an example of why I'm promoting the Twitter hashtag #journafail – all too commonly useful in discussing MSM coverage of politically-polarized and/or technical intricate subjects.
This smiling con-artist should never have made it this far into the contest for the Presidency of the United States. The field of candidates put up by the Republican Party held such misfits that Mr. Romney appeared to be the best of them. Him money AND his hunger for the office were his greatest assets, of course. Please make sure he doesn't win (or steal) the office President of the United States–it must not happen. Make sure some good, old-fashioned journalists come forth, willing to risk losing their jobs as "impartial" presenters of the dissemblance that passes for News these days.
Voters are all too capable of choosing a confident liar over a careful truth teller. Even children voting for their class president can reveal this propensity.
Are voters picking someone to 'front' for us, one who won't admit we can mistakes? The classic example is the choice of smooth Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter.
When I was only listening to the recent Obama-Romney debate I was astonished to realize how Romney's delivery resembled Reagan's voice pattern. That was clever.
apropos mistakes, that should read
won't admit we can make mistakes
In addition to dazzling the un-thinking, it can discommode deep thinkers.
Reagan was a professional actor before he started in politics, but it was indeed his acting skills that made him an effective political leader. He simply knew how to deliver his lines and script, with the right tone of voice, pauses, rythm, etc., and let the smart speech writers do most of the thinking. It is the ultimate skill of a flip-flopper, and Romney appears to have "the right stuff" in this context. Obama made a polite attempt to expose this with his "never mind" interpretation of the Romney 5 trillion dollar tax cut plan suddenly disappearing, but this did not stick to the Romney teflon. Obama needs a much stickier response next time.
Todd, All good points!
Yet, I don't care what 'sticks' to Romney as long as voters (and Obama) stick with the issues and put attentive representatives into Congress.
PBS ran a background program (The Choice 2012, Frontline) on the presidential candidates. In a debate between Romney and Ted Kennedy, Romney lost unexpectedly. Kennedy didn't waste much time to refute Romney; instead Kennedy stayed on message about what the people need, and didn't look directly at Romney. Obama needs to learn that, too.
P.S. The forthcoming Frontline next week is "Climate of Doubt," clearly an allusion to Oreske's "Merchants of Doubt" about the misinformation on climate. A must-watch!
Next week the presidential debate, replaces Frontline. The Climate of Doubt program is scheduled for October 23.

By Lt.j.g. Theresa Donnelly, Pacific Command Public AffairsMay 23, 2010
HONOLULU - A Soldier assigned to U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) was honored for his contribution to community service by the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii in a ceremony in downtown Waikiki, May 19.
Sgt. Gregory Bowling, an information systems administer who has served in the military for 13 years, has been a foster parent for the last nine months working with Hawaii's Child Welfare Services (CWS).
"A lot of kids don't have the opportunity to stay with family when times are tough; I wanted to do what I could to help them," said Bowling.
Bowling and six other service members from Hawaii-based commands were honored at the 25th annual Chamber's Military Recognition Luncheon. The ceremony also paid tribute to military members returning home from deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Nearly 1000 businesses and Hawaii military leaders gathered to formally recognize the contributions and sacrifices men and women in uniform make not only to Hawaii, but nationwide.
"These men and women in uniform here today represent the finest people this nation has to offer. They are not the exception; they are the rule," said Lt. Gen. Herbert Hawk, commander, 13th Air Force during his keynote speech to attendees.
Bowling, a native of San Antonio, is in charge of PACOM's infrastructure networks, totaling an estimated three million dollars. He provides customer support to more than 1,600 end users throughout the Asia-Pacific region and manages state-of-the-art computer information systems. Previously, he served nine years in the Navy as a missile technician and as an electrician technician.
Before becoming licensed as foster parents, the family underwent a series of procedures to demonstrate they were equipped to take on the responsibility. CWS conducted a rigorous criminal and financial background check, collected numerous letters of reference, and required the Bowlings to attend an intensive training class.
"The training gives the foster parents information on how to work with the department, so they can better understand how to take care of the children," explained CWS Foster Licensing Social Worker Erin Yamada.
"The Bowling family has really put their heart and soul into this. Anything we have asked them to do, they have been willing to help. We are so happy to have them working with us."
They are now taking care of a second pair of siblings, and both describe fostering children as immensely rewarding.
"Being able to see how the kids have grown and changed in the months we have been with them has been a great aspect of this experience. We are happy to do what we could to help these children," said Bowling's wife, Regina.
Along with the children the Bowling's have mentored, they have three kids ranging in ages five to 13 years. Both parents report that fostering has had a positive effect on them, as they too learn the value of service to others and what it means to provide a stable environment to a child who may have never experienced it.
Bowling and his wife attend a weekly foster ministry by church Calvary Chapel, helping the family to connect with others who have foster children. The foster support network also allows them to share best practices and plan family outings together.
"This experience has really meant so much to us, and we are grateful to have been able to share our lives with these children," said Bowling.

Discusses the ability of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) to model the probability distribution of data in typical pattern recognition and verification problems. It is proven that multilayer perceptrons with sigmoidal units and a number of hidden units less or equal than the number of inputs are unable to model patterns distributed in typical clusters, since these networks draw open separation surfaces in the pattern space. When using more hidden units than inputs, the separation surfaces can be closed but, unfortunately it is proven that determining whether or not a MLP draws closed separation surfaces in the pattern space is NP-hard. The major conclusion of the paper is somewhat opposite to what is believed and reported in many application papers: MLPs are definitely not adequate for applications of pattern recognition requiring a reliable rejection and, especially, they are not adequate for pattern verification tasks

We discuss the significant technical challenges facing the CAD industry and research community and present an approach to address these issues. The key component of all CAD applications is the end user. Users' success or failure in interacting with CAD products ultimately governs the success of the products themselves. We extend the meaning of interactive techniques for this article to include more than low-level input device, display, and human factor issues. We deliberately include the way users work with applications to accomplish a work task. Using this extension we define three difficult challenges with interactive techniques: geometry shape control; interoperability across CAD, CAM, and CAE applications; and automatically morphing geometry in a meaningful way during design optimization.

Man jailed for assaultJuly 17,2013Man jailed
for assault
A Brandon man pleaded innocent to charges of second degree aggravated domestic assault and possession of heroin.
Keith Decker, 42, was in Rutlands criminal court Tuesday to answer to the felony and misdemeanor charges that carry a combined sentence up to six years in prison. He was held at the Rutland jail for lack of $20,000 bail.
According to court documents, police responded to a home near Kendall Avenue in Rutland Monday night, where Jennifer Brewster said Decker, her boyfriend, has been physically abusing her for a long time and that she feared for her life.
Brewster said she and Decker were having an argument regarding his vehicle and when she turned to leave, he told her that he was going to kill her before she returned to her mother.
Decker was arrested later that evening. While he was searched at the Rutland jail, a wax paper bag containing heroin was found in his front shorts pockets.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

Supressing Fire
Kill 20 enemies using blindfire. (Single Player)
When in cover simply hold the right trigger on its own and you will blindfire, on the easier difficulty's run right up to a piece of cover with an enemy behind and fire away. The accuracy with it is terrible as expected so make sure you are close!
Are These Guys For Real?
Kill 50 Spetznaz. (Single Player)
Spetznaz are the soldiers with balaclavas and/or helmets, they will burst out of a room or fast rope into your location, kill 50 of these and the achievement is yours. There is way more than 50 before the end of the game.
Health And Safety
Blow up 20 fire extinguishers. (Single Player)
These can be found on walls around the different levels, there is way more than 20 throughout the game. A quick way to get this is load up mission 7 *KATN* and work your way through the level. You should reach a room about half way which has 3 soldiers in it, one of which is bending down fixing a box on the wall. There are 5 fire extinguishers located in this room, proceed to shoot them all then reload the checkpoint and you should start just before the room.
Migraine Breaker
Kill 50 enemies with head shots. (Single Player)
Alot of the time you will get head shots without knowing, and you can just aim your shots, for a few easy headshots in each level, when you first start there will be guards unaware of you so just walk around poping them.
Another place, credit goes to ThingontheFloor
Originally Posted by
For anyone else having trouble with this one as I was, try the very last mission, right before the end of the game when you set the third (and final) charge on the missile. A gate will open at the end of the room and 4 guys will start coming in, if you set the charge and quickly run and throw a grenade at the gate, it will blow them up before they get a chance to spread out. If you fail, just restart the checkpoint, clear the room, and try again. There are grenades in the room if you're out.
Kill a group of 4 enemies with a grenade. (Single Player)
In the first mission *SNAFU* you will come to a courtyard and after dealing with the enemies in there a group of 4 will break down the door. Time your throw correctly and you can get all 4 of them easily. This is also pretty easy to do throughout most of the missions but obviously this is the best place.
Dick Would Be Proud
Complete a mission without dying. (Single Player)
Play the first mission *SNAFU* on recruits and try to get as many kills with out alerting the guards, on the easiest difficulty this really should not be a problem, just take cover whenever you can to avoid death.
Military Budget
Kill 5 enemies with an assault rifle without reloading or changing weapons. (Single Player)
Head shots are the key! The best way is to find an area with 5 or more guards, take cover and try to pop out and just tap the trigger to not waste ammo. A place i did it was after the room i mentioned in *Health and Safety* there are walkways with lots of soldiers and lots of cover for you.
Come Get Some!
Kill 5 enemies with a shotgun without reloading or changing weapons. (Single Player)
Same as above, and you will be surprised how long the shotguns range is, just take your time. Only difference here is you have to kill a soldier with every shot as the shotgun only holds 5. For a bit more room for mistakes, use the spas 12 as it holds 8.
Perform 3 Kill moves in a row. (Single Player)
Extremely easy to do in the first mission right at the start, just run up to a soldier and hit a, you will perform a kill move, repeat 2 more times.
Perform 5 Finishing moves. (Single Player)
You firstly must make an enemy fall to the ground, they will still shoot you in a last stand position. Once you run up to them it will give you the option to do a "finishing move". The best way to drop an enemy into this position is with the ak74 (ak47) fire a few shots into their chest and they should fall.
Destroy 10 vehicles. (Single Player)
To destroy a vehicle, shoot it several times and it will start to flame followed by an explosion. An easy place to do this is near the end of mission 6 *HUMINT* you will go into a sort of car park area with plenty of vehicles, stay near the back and just unload on them then restart from checkpoint and repeat untill you have it.
Over The Top
Throw an enemy over a ledge. (Single Player)
You will get many opportunity's to do this, the first is in the very first mission when you enter a building and upstairs there is a soldier next to a Dragunov. If you are quick run right up to him and press A, if he is near enough to the window you will throw him out.
Not The Face
Smash an enemy's face into a wall. (Single Player)
Again, on the first level you will run into a small square outpost type building with a guard inside, he will be right next to the wall and when you press a to perform a kill move you should slam his face into the wall killing him.
Fresh Off The Boat
Play online once. (Multiplayer)
Mode and whether its ranked do not affect this, just play any game online and complete it and you will unlock this.
Place first in a Ranked Deathmatch game. (Multiplayer)
*MUST BE RANKED* Find a death match game and just do your best, the game is pretty terrible online and your best bet is you run around trying to hit people with kill moves, or just find a good spot and camp.

It is really hard to find a place to park. This is a commuter school and less than ten precent of the student population live on the campus.
I could never find parking, it takes me about half an hour just to find parking.
There IS NO off campus parking... parking is mostly in the big parking lot which is all the way on the other side of the school. There is usually no parking. You WILL spend 20 min looking for parking. Parking is $2 and hour. QUARTERLY parking permits are $160... parking tickets for no permits or daily parking passes are $49.In a nut shell: parking is monopolized by the school, expensive and EXTREMELY hard to get.
I don't own a car, so this doesn't affect me, but I do have roommates and friends who do. Whenever I am in the car with them, finding a spot close to the dorms is the problem, not the parking spot availability.
The cost of a parking permit is horrible. It is way too much money to spend on something you only need for a few hours.

By Mike Richard CORRESPONDENT
January 09. 2013 6:00AM
Seven games into his varsity career and Fitchburg High coach Jack Scott is looking at a 7-0 start, something he never envisioned when he took over the Red Raiders this season.
Yet after last night's decisive 66-39 victory over archrival Leominster High at the Doug Grutchfield Fieldhouse, No. 6 Fitchburg is finally making believers out of its coach and other faithful followers.
"I'm very happy at this point," Scott said. "Coming into the season, we had five seniors who were pretty inexperienced as far as varsity goes and we weren't sure what we'd get from some of these guys. But I tell you what — we're pretty happy so far."
The Red Raiders got a powerful inside game from junior Jose Hernandez, who led the way with 18 points, as well as some firepower from 6-foot-5 senior Charles Doss, who added 11 points, including a monster dunk, and 12 rebounds to help Fitchburg put things away after a close first half.
"We were just trying to focus on defense and get everything we could," Hernandez said. "I tried my best to take everything down low. I usually play big man, try to grab rebounds and finish everything around the basket."
During a seesaw second quarter that had the teams exchanging leads, Leominster's Tanner Jakola nailed a 3-pointer to put the Blue Devils up, 19-16. However, that was the last basket by the visitors for the next nine minutes.
"Fitchburg's a great team, and if you're going to make mistakes and throw the ball away, they're gonna make you pay with their transition game," Leominster coach Nick Smith said.
Fitchburg got some inspired play from Eli Jackson and Elijah Kutka to grab the lead from Leominster, and then a Doss put-back, followed by a Mick Snowden trey, had the Red Raiders rolling into halftime with a 26-20 lead.
Ignited by a 10-0 run to begin the third period, Fitchburg didn't look back. Hernandez hit a turnaround inside, Jackson powered up from underneath, and Snowden hit another of his trio of 3-pointers.
However, it was a thunderous dunk by Doss that rattled the joint and got the raucous fans up for the remainder of the night.
"(Of) course that got us pumped up, it was great," Hernandez said. "He got the whole team pumped with that."
Deuce Franks interrupted the run with a layup to close the gap to 36-23, ending a drought of 9:39 from the floor, but the inside play of the Red Raiders denied any Leominster penetration.
Jake Allain hit some long-range shots to lead the Blue Devils with 11 points, while Leominster (3-5) also got some solid play from Garrett DelleChiaie, Jarell Addo and Peter Dandini.

How to properly recycle plastic lids.
Are there any plastic lids that I can add to my recycling bin?
No. Plastic lids of any kind – including those on coffee cups, drink cups and yogurt containers – are not accepted in the blue Portland Recycles! roll cart.
Since plastic lids tend to be small, thin and easily hidden by other materials in the mixed recycling container, they need to be left out of the blue Portland Recycles! roll cart. At sorting facilities, plastic lids combine with paper and cardboard as they make their way along the conveyor belts and can end up in bales. Since all recycling materials are sold as a commodity, unwanted materials make those bales harder to sell and, therefore, harder to actually recycle into new paper products.
You can collect small plastic items, like lids, to dispose of at a recycling depot. Find a depot near you through Metro's Find a Recycler resource.

The Discussion Draft Central City 2035 Plan (CC2035) was the culmination of over five years of work and public involvement. Following the release of the CC2035 Discussion Draft in February, hundreds of people attended open houses and drop-in hours on both sides of the river. Project staff attended more than 40 meetings with neighborhood associations, property owners and others throughout the Central City. Additionally, community members submitted some 200 written comments and letters.
The project team considered these comments and input from other agencies and organizations to create the Proposed Draft CC2035 Plan. This blog post identifies some of the most significant changes staff have made by topic area.

Deconstruction instead of demolition: Disassembling Portland's oldest and most historic houses and duplexes will protect public health and save valuable materials for reuse.
Portland, ORE – Today, Portland City Council adopted an ordinance, including code language, which requires projects seeking a demolition permit of a house or duplex to fully deconstruct that structure if it was built in 1916 or earlier or is a designated historic resource. With Council's unanimous approval of that ordinance, Portland became the first city in the country to ensure that valuable materials from our demolished houses and duplexes are salvaged for reuse instead of crushed and landfilled.
"Our existing older houses are assets: They preserve our built history and contribute to neighborhood character," said Portland Mayor Charlie Hales. "If they must come down, materials from these houses can live on in new buildings. By keeping valuable materials out of the landfill, we ensure the least amount of impact on the environment and neighbors. Deconstruction reduces our carbon footprint; prevents harmful air pollution caused by demolition; and creates good, family wage jobs."
In Portland, more than 300 single-family homes are demolished each year. This produces thousands of tons of waste — a majority of which could be salvaged for reuse. From start to finish, deconstruction protects health, creates pathways to construction careers and generates affordable reusable building materials. Currently, less than 10 percent of houses that are removed use deconstruction.
About 18 months ago, Portland City Council asked the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability to develop strategies to increase deconstruction activity as an alternative to mechanical demolition. With the help of an industry- and community-based advisory group, BPS has:
Today's ordinance follows up on that resolution and adopts new code requirements, effective October 31, 2016, requiring deconstruction for houses and duplexes built in 1916 or earlier or designated as a historic resource regardless of age.
Approximately 33 percent of single-family demolitions would be subject to the deconstruction requirement. Increased deconstruction will:
Earth Advantage and the Building Material Reuse Association (BMRA) will offer training and certification in deconstruction beginning the week of July 18, 2016. The first training and certification is for contractors. A second training later this fall will focus on developing the skills needed to work on a deconstruction site. Information on training can be found here.
Visit the City of Portland's website, www.exploredecon.com for more details about deconstruction.

Pictured (from left to right): Wilfred Pinfold (Urban.Systems Inc.), Christine Kendrick (City of Portland), Mike Reich (Sensamo), Kristin Tufte (Portland State University), Kevin Martin (City of Portland), Paul Giangarra (IBM Research), Glenn Ricart (US Ignite), John Gordon (Current/GE).
(Austin, TX) -- A "smart cities" project team that includes Portland State University won the Global City Teams Challenge Leadership Award grand prize on June 13.
The $20,000 prize came from US Ignite, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to foster the creation of next-generation internet applications that benefit the public. It honored Portland's Connected Intelligent Transit Action Cluster team for its ongoing work in developing a sensor-connected "smart" corridor that gathers transit data, traffic signalization information and air quality measurements to help local governments make improved transportation policy choices.
Portland's team is one of many around the world. Members of the team include Portland State University, Portland Bureau of Transportation, Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, Portland Bureau of Technology Services, Technology Association of Oregon, Intel Corporation, Urban.Systems Inc., SensamoSeabourne, DKS Associates and TriMet.
The leadership award recognizes teams that are deploying technologically replicable, scalable and measurable Internet of Things (IoT) projects. Portland's project includes the use of a new applications lab at PSU – the first of its kind in the United States – that collects, stores and shares data about all things related to transportation in the city. The lab promises to be a boon to the City of Portland and mobile application developers as they find ways to streamline the way Portlanders move about the city.
"One of the key components of a "smart city" is using data collected from sensors to assist with decision making and investment planning," said Kevin Martin, Technical Services Manager, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability. "Piloting a network of low-cost, connected air quality sensors allows us to assess -- in real-time and at a block-by-block level -- the air quality impacts of our transportation system, and how those impacts change as we modify the system. It also gives the City additional tools to measure the performance of future transportation investments, such as the planned projects in the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama intends to nominate Maria Contreras-Sweet, the founder of a Latino-owned community bank in Los Angeles and a former California cabinet secretary, to be head of the Small Business Administration, according to a White House official.
Obama will announce Contreras-Sweet's selection at an event Wednesday, the official said. The official was not authorized to discuss the nomination by name ahead of the announcement.
Contreras-Sweet, who was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, has a history of working with small businesses and has been an advocate for Hispanics. As California's secretary of the state's Business, Transportation and Housing Agency from 1999 to 2003, she was the first Latina to serve as a cabinet secretary in the state and oversaw 40,000 state employees and a $12 billion budget.
In 2006, she founded ProAmérica Bank, a financial institution that aimed to assist small and mid-size businesses. Before that, she was president and co-founder of a private equity firm that provided capital to small California businesses.
If confirmed by the Senate, Contreras-Sweet would fill the last vacant Obama Cabinet slot, filling the SBA administrator's position formerly occupied by Karen Mills.
Contreras-Sweet would become the second Hispanic in Obama's second term Cabinet. The other is Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. She would also become the eighth woman in Obama's current Cabinet. Obama's selection had been the subject of intense interest among Hispanic leaders who wanted to ensure they had a high-profile presence in the administration.

Ken Holland was the most popular answer, followed by Lou Lamoriello (Devils), Doug Wilson (Sharks) and Brian Burke (Toronto), among others. Because there's been so much focus on Burke over the past week, we needn't bother going over that again here.
Let's take a look at other GMs:
RickPlaysStick: Brian Burke is the Media darling/quote machine, however the number one GM is Ken Holland of the Red Wings. He manages to put a top notch team on the ice year after year. The organization develops and scouts great talent. He hires great people. I am still wishing my Ducks had been able to keep Mike Babcock. Ken is the man!
bektastic: No doubt Holland in Detroit. Top to bottom, the Wings are possibly the best-run franchise in all of sports. Pre-cap, post-cap, free agency, drafting, scouting, you name it. There are a lot of other good candidates over three-to-five year spans, but Detroit has been a rock for over twenty straight.
MSUlion: the question should be who is the second best gm because number one is hands down ken holland. he guided the wings' dynasty through the loss of their captain, coach, and many goalies without missing a step. Now they're back on top without going through the usual 2-3 years of terribleness while rebuilding. awesome job, kenny. thanks for all the cups.
My take: I have long held the belief that Holland was among the best, if not the best GM in the league, but what's interesting to see is how some fans and media have really, really grown to respect the man after the Wings continued to win despite a salary cap. What the rest of the world discovered post-lockout is Holland and assistant GM Jim Nill are a lot more than distributors of Mike Ilitch's pizza money. The Wings draft like nobody's business, but pro scout just as well. Dan Cleary and Mikael Samuelsson were available to the other 29 teams. Four Stanley Cups in the past 11 years. Enough said.
fincognito: No brainer. Lou Lamoriello, Hands Down. Even though the Devils play a defensive system and can't score goals and attendance isn't much like the other NHL teams, he has crafted a very competitive team. He puts players on the ice that fit into the NJ Devils organization and system. The farm system is one of the best in the league. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to the trade deadlines. He is also excellent at discovering talent across the pond. Rafalski, Oduya, & Salmela. Finally, there is no one better during the draft. Daneyko, MacLean, Driver, Brodeur, Rolston, Gomez, Niedermayer, White, Martin, Parise, Zajac, Elias, etc. The list goes on and on. He is simply the best!
Kaesmannevl: With out a doubt, it's Lou Lamoriello. New Jersey is competitive year after year and always makes the playoffs. You may say that the Devils are a "system" team, but Lou always finds the right players to put into that "system."
jerseypollack: Umm ... is it even a question? Lou, duh. The man's been stellar for New Jersey, there's no debate required.
My take: Lou's three Cup rings are enough evidence to his brilliance, but what I love the most about the way he does things is how clean and structured his organization has always been. There'd be no Sean Avery on this team.
It must be said, however, that Lamoriello appeared to struggle only slightly at the onset of the new salary-cap environment after the lockout. Liberalized free agency saw him suddenly needing to battle other teams to keep Scott Niedermayer, who chose to follow his brother to Anaheim. The signings of Vladimir Malakhov and Alexander Mogilny were ill-advised and put the Devils into cap problems.
But like the great GM he is, Lamoriello figured this new CBA out, and today, the Devils remain a playoff-bound team year after year despite free-agent defections and this season's massive injuries, including goalie Martin Brodeur.
sbrhwkp3: Darcy Regier. It's easy to be a GM in a city where you can spend a lot of money. It's not so easy in Buffalo. This guy landed Daniel Briere for Chris Gratton. He knows how to build teams from within. Buffalo is struggling right now, but once they lose their dead weight and are able to spend some money this summer, they'll be contenders. Mark my words.
My take: I certainly have Regier in my top 10, as well. Money is something the Sabres have never had in bountiful amounts, and yet, because of shrewd drafting and developing, they've been able to compete. You can't blame Regier for how things ended with Daniel Briere and Chris Drury. That's from people above him, but I can't get into it. Just trust me. He's a terrific GM, one who is soft-spoken and doesn't seek the spotlight.
polishiron: Maybe a little off the map with this one, but Rutherford does a great job in Carolina. Not a lot of star power, not a lot of revenue, small hockey market, and the Canes are somehow always a competitive team. They always have a great blend of young guys, solid veterans and a few goal scorers to help them out. With Washington getting better each year, it seems like they'll have to step it up if they want to win a division title, but I just feel like Carolina always has an outside shot of making the playoffs. Rutherford must have something to do with that (oh, and don't forget the Stanley Cup ring, either).
My take: When the lockout ended and the big-market teams were maximizing their cap room with big signings in August 2005, Jim Rutherford made some low-profile signings that barely anyone noticed. Ray Whitney, Matt Cullen, etc. ... Next thing you know, there's a Stanley Cup parade in Raleigh 10 months later.
Rutherford, like Regier, is limited by team finances. The Hurricanes aren't allowed to spend to the max. The other thing I like about Rutherford is he's gutsy, and makes big trades and moves. Firing coach Peter Laviolette today and replacing him with former coach Paul Maurice? Gutsy!
lindo1905: Ken Holland is amazing, by all means. But think about this: Doug Risebrough took control of a team from its creation and molded it into a team that competes year in and year out. The growing pains were minimal, and for a pure expansion team that is unreal -- in 8 years he took a team consisting of an 18-year-old phenom and a bunch of mediocre journeymen to a hardened core of exceptional young talent and effective veterans. Say what you will of the coaching structure of the Wild; their GM is one of the best.
judy.rixe: doug risebrough, without a doubt, he does so much with so little in a small market like minnesota. especially this year with the mysterious gaborik injury and the loss of demitra and rolston and the general lack of top end talent, but just like clockwork they are in the top half of the western conference.
My take: No question Risebrough deserves mention. The Wild have been a stand-up organization ever since their inception and he's a big reason why. A patient approach to drafting and developing with the odd free-agent signing has helped the team remain in the playoff mix for the past half decade. Of course, his best move was hiring Jacques Lemaire as coach. Perhaps the best coach in the business. Risebrough's biggest test yet comes in Marian Gaborik. You know the story already. We'll see how it ends.
danman121289: There's no questions it's Ken Holland. But I think George McPhee deserves a mention. He's been with Washington since the mid-'90s. Yes, Jagr was a debacle, but both he and Leonsis realized that free agents weren't the way to put together a team. So McPhee started from scratch and has done an excellent job building through the draft. Obviously you can't screw up a pick like Ovechkin, but he also gets credit for Semin, Backstrom, Green and some good role players such as Fleischmann and Laich (who he locked up for a few years). And he's brought in some good veterans with reasonable contracts (Kozlov and Fedorov). Again, there's no doubt that Ken Holland is the answer to this question, but the Caps system is loaded with talent and McPhee deserves a lot of credit for that.
My take: You know, it's funny, a couple of years ago after the Jaromir Jagr fiasco, I was beginning to wonder if McPhee was going to work out. But did he ever prove us wrong. Once he got the green light from owner Ted Leonsis to properly take down and build up the Caps the old-fashioned way through draft picks and youth, you now see what kind of hockey acumen McPhee has. Everyone looks at Ovechkin and Semin, but the Caps are stacked up and down throughout the organization with youth and skill. I'm not sold on their goaltending right now, but otherwise, this is a team that's in great shape for years to come.
sharksngiants08: Doug Wilson, no doubt. He develops new young talent every year. (Past 3 years can show Clowe, Pavelski, Setoguchi, Vlasic, and Mitchell on the roster, among others.) He keeps his young, superstar core together with Marleau and Thornton. He wisely got rid of Vesa Toskala, and made the move of the decade to swing Joe Thornton. Oh, I almost forgot his best call of all. Dumping Ron Wilson and bringing in Todd McClellan.
odecker7482: Doug Wilson has done a phenomenal job with San Jose. He has put a good team on the ice and usually gets what the team needs. Losing Brian Campbell was a blow, but he goes out and gets Rob Blake and Dan Boyle, and now they have the highest scoring for defensemen in the league. Drafting young talent has also been a boon for the sharks who keeps drafting quality players i.e. Setoguchi, Joe Pavelski, Marc-Eduard Vlasic. Oh yeah, that Joe Thornton trade turned out alright, too.
My take: A Stanley Cup ring is the only thing that separates Doug Wilson from being mentioned on the same level as Ken Holland and Lou Lamoriello. I think the Sharks are on their way to delivering that ring this season to their much-deserving GM. There's plenty of homegrown talent on this team, but Wilson also added to the mix with key trades and signings. Few people even knew Joe Thornton was on the trade block when he beat the rest of the league to the punch and got him from Boston. When Brian Campbell walked out July 1, Wilson acted fast, swinging a deal with Tampa to get Dan Boyle. He also had the fortitude to fire a good coach in Ron Wilson, sensing that a new voice was needed behind the bench. And I can tell you this, Doug Wilson's name was right up there with Brian Burke on the Toronto Maple Leafs' short GM wish list. But only Burke was available.
jiann8: Paul Holmgren.
1. Traded Peter Forsberg for Ryan Parent, Scottie Upshall, first and third rounders
2. Braydon Coburn for Alexei Zhitnik (now bought out)
3. Marty Biron for a second rounder (the Leafs got Toskala for a first, second, and fourth rounders)
4. Joffrey Lupul, Jason Smith for Joni Pitkanen (on another team), Geoff Sanderson (not playing)
5. Signed Hartnell and Timonen by giving back Nashville their first round pick
6. Signed Danny Briere
7. Resigned Mike Richards, Jeff Carter to extensions
No question.
My take: "Homer," as other hockey types call him, has definitely hit the ground running. First of all, imagine having to replace a legend like Bob Clarke. Great post by jiann8 underlining some of his moves. Like execs in other traditional hockey markets, such as Boston, Montreal, Toronto or Detroit, Holmgren won't get elevated to Holland or Lamoriello status until he wins the big one.
100Habbie: Bob Gainey. I appreciate the annual success of the Wings lends the natural response at Ken Holland. ... Detroit had the foresight to scout and draft heavily in Europe and Russia. Gainey was handed a mess. He has drafted and traded well, has the respect of anyone and everyone who wears or has worn the CH and conducts himself professionally. The fans and media in Montreal love him, and that's no small feat. He had the brilliance to put Carbonneau in charge on the bench. The Habs were Leaf-like for several years (too good to draft high, too bad to contend), but after Gainey's stamp, they've become one of the East's powerhouses. Detroit's had more success, but Gainey's done the best job from where he started!
My take: You certainly could not have this kind of debate without mentioning Mr. Gainey. His Stanley Cup championship in Dallas and the impressive rebuild in Montreal are massive elements on his GM résumé. But his biggest tests are yet to come. The Habs want to win now, and badly, and yet I can sense Gainey isn't satisfied with the current makeup of his team. It will be interesting to watch whether he can land Mats Sundin or whether he makes a trade for a top-four defenseman before March 4. Gainey's most noteworthy acts as an NHL GM may be yet to come, such as bringing the Cup back to Montreal for the first time since 1993.
The last word ...
David Poile also got some mention by readers, as he should. His teams in Washington and Nashville have always been competitive and well-built through the draft. Not winning the big one obviously is what is missing on his résumé, though.
My No. 1 GM? Holland.

A beefsteak can be cooked in just 13 minutes in an atmosphere of dry, hot air at a temperature of 250° F. In 1775, Dr Charles Blagden of the Royal Society demonstrated—on himself—that a fully clothed human could tolerate 250°F with little inconvenience for periods exceeding half an hour. More than a century later J. S. Haldane, while studying heatstroke, showed that a human could tolerate dry air at 300° F "but if he moved about too much his hair began to singe." This description of a 1905 experiment reveals that self-experimentation can have unanticipated results. And, as with any experiment involving human subjects, someone must go first.

Can anyone offer me any insights into why my cloud deployment would be slower than an on-premises computer in "horsepower" terms?
I have a compute intensive application which uses a worker role to carry out millions of computations (in parallel).
Currently in Azure I'm testing using an Extra Large (8 core, 16GB) VM to do the processing. On average it's taking 45 minutes per iteration whereas the same code running on a 4 core, 8GB on-premises machine was taking only 15 minutes.
Azure logs indicate total processor utilisation is 99% but I have 12GB memory free so I'll definitely try loading more data into memory for each iteration.
Are the 8 cores just individually very low spec? Is local storage really local? That is, is local storage really on a different physical device and therefore fetching data from file and writing results to disk is slow?

By Wallace McBride, Fort Jackson LeaderOctober 24, 2013
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- Military installations have pulled the dietary supplement Craze from store shelves, prompted by a new study claiming the product contains a derivative of methamphetamine.
Craze is the second dietary supplement to be pulled from the shelves of military bases in October. Earlier this month, the Marine Corps pulled the dietary supplements OxyElite Pro from stores following concerns that it might have played a role in cases of acute hepatitis and liver failure in Hawaii.
"We received guidance on this a few weeks back," said Don Sydlik, general manager of the Fort Jackson Exchange. "The Exchange and GNC have not carried any form of OxyELITE containing DMAA in its main stores since December, 2011."
OxyElite Pro is sold in both powder and pill form and is marketed as a way to reduce body fat. OxyElite Pro was later reintroduced without the controversial DMAA ingredient since the 2011 ban.
"(OxyELITE) was removed from all military GNC locations on Army and Air Force installations as of Oct. 9," said Scott Nahrwold, Fort Jackson deputy garrison commander.
"The reformulated OxyELITE was never carried in Exchange retail stores and was removed from all military GNC locations on Army and Air Force installations as of Oct. 9," Sydlik said. "The Exchange has never carried Craze in its main stores, and its GNC concession locations removed Craze from its shelves on Oct. 17. I have personally checked our shelves and we are clean of both products."
Some supplements can be dangerous and limit the combat effectiveness of Soldiers, predisposing them to heat or other injuries, said Col. Mark Higdon, Moncrief Army Community Hospital commander.
"All Soldiers should investigate dietary or other supplements before taking them," Higdon said. "The recent news concerning banned substances being discovered in a commercially produced dietary supplement further highlights the fact that the Federal Drug Administration does not regulate or certify supplements."
Health care providers should be consulted before using any supplements, he said.

Posted on 09/05/2011 9:53:21 AM PDT by Steelfish
Colorado School Comes Under Fire for Hanging Saudi Flag Higher Than American Flag September 05, 2011
An elementary school in Colorado has come under criticism after they lowered the American flag and elevated a Saudi Arabian flag. The principal at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins said they did not mean to disrespect the American flag, according to a report in the Greeley Gazzette.
Principal Brian Carpenter told the newspaper that the American flag was immediately returned to its proper and prominent position at the school. He explained that other flags are posted around the school to recognize the nationalities of students from other countries.
A photograph showing the raised Saudi flag alongside the lowered American flag was first posted on the Greeley Report, a local blog. It generated lots of local debate. We realize this is an extremely sensitive time with us getting close to the 10th anniversary of 9/11," Carpenter told the Gazzette.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Maybe said principal would like to be stoned to death like they do in Saudi Arabia.
not good
"The custodian (or student), Abdul, assigned to raise the flag didn't know the protocol." /s
Principal Brian Carpenter: Demonstrated/proven idiot.
Uh no Brian... it is always a bad time for that crap and you are more than welcome to emigrate to the ME if you feel that way.
Any reason for the saudi flag to be put up in the first place?
Principal Brian Carpenter told the newspaper that the American flag was immediately returned to its proper and prominent position at the school.
Right after photos were taken, videos were shot, and the content posted on Islamic websites for all haters of America to see.
No problem. What's the fuss?
I used my saudi flag for a doormat until it got worn out.
Know of anyplace to purchase Saudi flag toilet paper? My oldest basset is starting to need a little help. Oh, and that principal's home address so I can send the little soiled flags for him to place on the ground and roll around in ecstasy.
Look at the Greely Gazzette article. The American flag is not lower than the Saudi flag it is bowed in a form of salute or subjugation.......this principle knew exactly what the hell he was doing.
Treason comes so natural to these people they actually have to force themselves to act American when the circumstances are warranted.
That in itself is a foolish policy. Students of other nationalities, who should be on a legal pathway to American citizenship as a requirement to attend an American public school, should not be reminded of their past by these flags, but rather exposed continuously to American culture, values, and symbols - including the Stars and Stripes. Other than perhaps on special occasions, flags of foreign nations should have no place in American public schools, and certainly don't belong merely as a feel-good gesture toward immigrant youngsters.
Hey, this is a new one. So thoughtful of them to provide us with relief with all those mundane student/teacher sex scandals!/heavy sarcasm
Too bad there was not a good marksman nearby to shoot the damn thing off the pole.
unless maybe this was a one day thing. or a one week thing. I could see a school trying to encourage students to learn about the world by first showing all the foreign flags of every ethnicity of every student. But someone screwed up bad when they raised one of the flags higher than the US flag.
Idiot. NO Flag is ever posted higher then the American Flag.
And he is in charge of our children?? If kids are in an American school in an American city the only flag that they should see is the American flag and the State Flag.
Zero tolerance - fire the principal! Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. After all, they suspend students who wear a t-shirt with the American flag on it, saying zero tolerance etc. Sick of these traitors running our schools.
I'd have done what the Egyptian did to the Israeli flag. Torn it down.
I prefer Koranic toilet paper.
Pisses off the most jihadis for the buck.
My company being an international concern HQ'd in Canada, both national flags are displayed. In the U.S, ours is discernibly higher; in Canadian offices, their protocols govern. It only shows the proper respect.
To do anything else, particularly at a governmental entity, smacks of a deliberate (un-American) agenda...
So the American students are from another country? Are these the states-rights nuts that hang out in the hills of Colorado?
One could almost say Old Glory is "bowing" to the Saudi rag....
LOL, check out this tard's blog:
"Universal breakfast", what a twit.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
CO ping.
how many of those hijackers were Saudi again??
The principal should be fired for general stupidity
I'd bury him up to his neck in Korans and pelt him with horse manure. Two birds - one stone.
If there was ever a reason for a bloody rampage...
Sept. 19, no school......its Collaboration day.
Bowed flag, collaboration day, no better place to hide, then in plain sight.
There is no such requirement, I wish there were.
In San Diego and El Paso and other cities there are buses that pick up Mexican kids at border crossings so they can attend US schools and go home after school.
Most school districts will not reject illegal aliens at all when they apply.
Public School.
Yes, I'm aware of that. Picking up Mexican kids at the border to go to American schools is particularly obnoxious. Displaying Mexican flags in those American schools adds insult to injury, especially when you consider who is paying for these Mexican kids' education.
Meanwhile you'd go to jail if you sent your kids to a better school across town.
Hope you didn't buy it.
You are so absolutely correct!!!!
This principal and the staff that collaborated need to be summarily dismissed with loss of compensation and retirement. Will someone with savvy please forward this thread to the local Board of Education.
shakes head
He din't know no better. He's jest a skool techer after awl.
This is what happens when you replace civics class with classes on diversity and multiculturalism.
Thought you might be interested
Yep, he knows the names of every two-bit country around the world by heart. I wonder if he can spell them?
As a public school with public funds, YOU CAN SUE THEIR ASSESS FOR PROMOTION ONE RELIGION OVER ANOTHER.
That is not only the Saudi Flag. But the inscription on it in Arabic, the Shahada, is that of a central tenant of religion of ISLAM, which is exclusionary, and which directly says "There is No God but Allah, and Mohammad is His Messenger" (أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله).
Here is where the ACLU could step in based on separate of Church and State (their ballywick), in a public organization supporting such a demonstration that violated the civil rights of others (non adherents to Islam).
Pix of flags show broken dowel on American Flag. (Sounds like something Charlie Chan would say? I'll leave it as is.)

That's up to us to define what level of transactionality we want/need/able-to-implement-shortly. For me, now, transactionality is not that important, but it would be a good thing to have (for example, making the saving of one document that contains images an atomic thing) -- Stefano.

iPhone app programmer since 2010/04/27, previously worked in my small company as web designer+programmer. I've programmed all kinds of languages since 1983, but as yet I have limited experience with Objective C, Cocoa, and XCode.
Two medium-skill apps released so far, and I feel I'm at the level where I can code and debug anything on the iPhone and understand the workings except in some rare cases. I can still feel baffled and stifled when implementing new framework features, but usually have no problem getting them going with some reading up.
It's still a long distance till I feel quite at home with it all, but I've come a ways.
