This beautiful Chardonnay is just a baby with a long, full life ahead, yet is captivating now with its bouquet of pippin apple, Meyer lemon, mandarin and vanilla cream. It glides across your palate with sensual softness, lively tartness and firm structure all at once. The spice and minerality underscore a hint of light caramel and white peach custard, then trail off slowly and gracefully.
"The 2010 Chardonnay Mt. Harlan shows the pedigree these hillside sites planted in 1984 and 1998 are capable of. This is a beautifully balanced, harmonious wine that captures the exuberant side of Chardonnay in its expressive tropical fruit, buttery notes and spices, while never losing its essential minerality, focus and drive. The 2010 shows fabulous freshness all the way through to the finish. I loved it. This is yet another great showing from Calera.Rating: 93+" 93 Points Vinous / Antonio Galloni

mlpy - Machine Learning Python is written mostly in C.
Across all C projects on Ohloh, 19% of all source code lines are comments. For mlpy - Machine Learning Python, this figure is 23%.
This high number of comments puts mlpy - Machine Learning Python among the highest one-third of all C projects on Ohloh.
A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.
The source code repository for mlpy - Machine Learning Python has less than a year of continuous activity. This likely is a relatively new project.
A short history is not necessarily a bad thing (all projects have to start somewhere!) but often, newer projects are changing rapidly and are thus less stable. They are also often innovative and exciting!
As this project matures, a longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity might indicate that the project has enough merit to hold contributors' interest for a long time. It might indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base, and can be a sign of an organized, dedicated development team.
Note: The source code for mlpy - Machine Learning Python might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.
Over the last twelve months, mlpy - Machine Learning Python has seen a substantial decrease in development activity. This could mean many things. It may be a warning sign that interest in this project is waning, or it may indicate a maturing code base that requires fewer fixes and changes. It is also possible that development on this project has moved to a new source control repository somewhere else.
Ohloh makes this determination by comparing the total number of commits made by all developers during the most recent twelve months with the same figure for the prior twelve months. The number of developers and total lines of code are not considered.
The source code for mlpy - Machine Learning Python has not been changed in over a year.
Over 75% of all projects on Ohloh have no recent activity. Open source has a "long tail" of projects whose developers have moved on. But the code is still there for all to benefit from!
For this measurement, Ohloh considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 1 developer have contributed.

It would be interesting to see how internal link navigation wd effect that, i.e. link from one of the test pages to the other. daveshap, good question! The single link was in a side bar, not even in the content. (The site wide was in the footer.)
I'm not saying that site-wides don't work, and I've used them myself from the same site to a non-test site. However, it appears that given the choice, just the one link appears to result in better rankings.

Pats, Broncos could be trying to shake Revis free from Tampa | ProFootballTalk I love the offseason! If you don't know by now, the Pats are always attached to just about every juicy rumor. Most of the time I think it's just agents trying to scare the rest of the league into getting in on the player to at least prevent Belichick from getting him. Is there any truth to this one? Maybe. At the very least it might send a small message to Talib that they're not married to him. Ultimately, I'd be surprised if the Pats got Revis, but I've been surprised many times by BB before and I'm looking forward to it happening again. |

Never bought the "Belichick doesn't have enough people willing to go against him" storyline. One of the big parts of Education of Coach was mentioning how much he wanted people to have different ideas and to challenge him. |

Good read, Belichick's respect for Manning is clear. No one knows the game better than Belichick and no one has a better appreciation of Peyton than he does. Assuming the Broncos return most of their team from this year, even with or without Decker, you have to wonder what the Pats do this offseason, specifically with Peyton in mind. Interior pass rush and press corners are clearly what you need to have any chance. |

Free Graphing Calculator By: SQA
App Review: Free Graphing Calculator
Free Graphing Calculator
Mar. 21, 2011
All ages
iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad
I chose the Free Graphing Calculator app because I thought that it would be a fun and interesting app to review. I found out about this app because it was rated very highly at the app store. I also like math so I thought that it would be a good app for my interest.
When you open the app, it immediately takes you to the calculator section of the app. At first glance, it seems like that is the only thing the app can do, but if you look at the bottom of the screen, you will see more sections of the app. The calculator section of the app is very disappointing. The app is very confusing to use. Though using the calculator part is easy, there are many other features that you need to know in order for the graphing calculator to work properly.
After you figure out how to use the calculator, you discover that the calculator's problem solving ability is very poor. Poor problem solving ability. This app can only solve simple problems. It can't solve algebra problems and has a limit to only fifteen digit numbers. There are many buttons in the app that are very confusing and there is no guide on how to use them.
Though the calculator is poor there are many extras included in this app. This app has a whole section on references; algebra, calculus, complex numbers, geometry, and trigonometry. These sections include definitions,and example problems with answers. There are also many mini math games on this app. There is also a section where you put in your birthday and it finds out how many days, months, and years you have been alive.
For this review, I compared the Free Graphing Calculator app and a real graphing calculator. I used the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. I compared the two on all the same tests. The tests were: cost, easy to use, problem solving ability, and extras. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition ranges from $70 to $150. The TI-84 is very easy to use. You immediately know how to use the calculator. Though you might not know how to use all the features of the calculator yet, it is a very easy calculator to use. The problem solving ability is fantastic. It can solve complex problems but has some limits. It can't solve algebra problems and all the buttons are confusing. There are many extras also included in this calculator, such as the Periodic Table, games, Probability Simulator, Science tools, App4math, Study cards, Science cards, Fun science, and algebra problems.
So is this app worth it? It depends on what you can afford. If you can afford the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition calculator, or another real graphing calculator, then I would recommend purchasing that instead of this app. If you can't afford the real graphing calculator, then I would recommend getting a another graphing calculator app. Since the app is free there are no real down fall from getting it. If you can't find another graphing calculator, then if you can live with some draw backs, this is the app for you.

San Jose Sharks Sweep L.A. Kings: 7 Reasons It Proves Nothing
By MJ Kasprzak ,
Dan Boyle showed leadership in scoring the first and last goal for the Sharks in a 3-2 OT win over the Kings
The Los Angeles Kings came into the final two games of the 2011-12 season having left only seven points on the table in the last 93 games in which they entered the third period with a lead—a .962 point percentage.
The San Jose Sharks entered both games to end the season with a third period deficit. While the Kings record of earning at least a point remains intact, the extra two points enabled the Sharks to pull ahead of the Kings for the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
The optimistic Sharks fan already sees the comeback in these games and the strong finish to the season as proof that they are now ready for the playoffs. They blocked twice as many shots (24-12) in the second game and put up eight goals over two games against elite netminder Jonathan Quick.
But any objective view shows the flaws continue for this team.
For one thing, you should block more shots if the other team attempts more. However, San Jose still blocked a larger percentage of shots attempted (36.4 vs. 23.5 percent) and had more than a 25 percent better ratio of blocks to shots allowed on goal.
Considering they get fewer opportunities, the Sharks are one of the best shot-blocking teams in the league. This should not be a problem area for the team in the playoffs.
They also had a disturbing 20 giveaways to only eight takeaways, while L.A. had just eight and six, respectively. But the Sharks are regularly in the red for that stat because they are good at controlling the puck, giving them more chances to turn it over and fewer to create them. They do not typically go minus-10 in this category, and this is not an anticipated issue for the playoffs.
However, the game showcased the following seven things that have been issues all season and will be a problem in the playoffs...
Remember that stretch of about a quarter of the season when the San Jose Sharks killed over 85 percent of their penalties?
I had almost forgotten about it, too.
The good thing is the Sharks do not take many trips to the penalty box. The bad news is that their kill is so atrocious that they are still behind 24 other teams in goal differential on the PK (goals against minus shorthanded goals).
The Sharks allowed six power play goals in nine chances over the final two games to the L.A. Kings, who are in the bottom half of the league with the man-advantage. San Jose finished the season ahead of just one team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and by just three-tenths of one percent.
Over the two mini-series that led up to the playoffs, the San Jose Sharks did not lose once. The problems is, they played the Dallas Stars and L.A. Kings.
The Stars were a pesky but inferior team that was unable to make the playoffs. The Kings are the only team in the Western Conference seeded lower than San Jose, and they were missing Jeff Carter for both games.
In other words, they are not the St. Louis Blues, who the Sharks will play in the first round. They are not the two-time President's Trophy-winning, defending conference champion Vancouver Canucks the Sharks are likely to face in the second round.
Two teams against whom they have just one regulation and one shootout win over in 13 games over the last year-plus combined.
Had the Sharks won the division, they could at least face a team of L.A.'s calibre in the first round. But better teams will be harder to beat, and they will have to do it 16 times to matter.
How often do we hear Todd McLellan talk about the team's need to play desperate hockey? How many times do the San Jose Sharks players have to acknowledge the other team played harder early on?
These same messages were put forth Saturday. McLellan said the team seemed too satisfied with making the playoffs in Friday's practice. Multiple players admitted they did not match the effort of the L.A. Kings in the first two periods.
Championship teams have professional approaches. Name the last Stanley Cup champion who approached most of the games during the season like exhibitions until they were facing a loss?
You cannot think of one because against the best teams, you cannot count on coming back. You cannot take early shifts for granted.
The San Jose Sharks' PR firm (the broadcast team) likes to point out that their power play was the NHL's best after the All-Star break.
But their ratio of five-on-five goals scored to surrendered dropped from 5:4 to 11:10. They also failed to score on a five-minute power play against the Kings Thursday. They got all four of their goals in the two games with the man-advantage in the third period.
San Jose has also been the victim of a shutout eight times and scored only one goal eight more times. (Their first round opponent, the St. Louis Blues, have shut the Sharks out twice and held them to one goal once.) They went 20 games late in the season without scoring more than three goals.
In other words, their PP needs more consistency and they need to be able to score better than they have of late at even strength. In the playoffs, you cannot rely on getting power plays.
People like to say that the team that is hot going into the playoffs is in the best position to win Lord Stanley's Cup.
If that were true, the San Jose Sharks would be one of a few teams to pick, as they are 10-4-1 over their last 15 (.700 point percentage). But Sharks fans should know this is not the reality, since San Jose went into the 2006, 2007 and 2008 playoffs as the hottest team in the league.
The problem is that streaky teams have a hard time sustaining it for the 16 wins it takes to win hockey's holy grail. No team is more streaky than the Sharks: Outside of three 15-game stretches (25, 24 and 21 points), they were 11-22-4 (.351).
The playoffs are about physical play. Hitting, blocked shots and fighting one's way to the net are keys to success.
As previously mentioned, the Sharks are very good at blocking shots. But despite being the biggest team in the league, they consistently lose battles in front of both their own net and the opponent's.
They are also arguably the lightest hitting team in the league. They routinely are out-hit 2:1, and only a small part of that can be attributed to their pick possession. They traded away their best hitting forward and have only one player not a liability on the blue line who is physical.
The San Jose Sharks are second in the league on face offs despite having the NHL's best on draws not even be the first choice for his line because he is on the wing.
Unfortunately, they have struggled of late in the circle. Struggle is in this case a relative term—they have won four more than they have lost over the last five games.
However, getting possession of the puck is so important to the Sharks' game that they need to win a few more every game. They have been closer to 50 percent than their season-long 53.3 since the All-Star break, and that could present a problem.

- Has floor area of 17 square feet rather than 29
- Is 20 ounces (30 percent) lighter
- Is $50 less expensive
Check out our full Backpacking Tent Review where we compare the Hubba Hubba to other top tents. In general our testers prefer to use a tent found in our Ultralight Tent Review for solo backpacking. They're much lighter, more versatile, and, in many cases, cheaper than double wall solo tents.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S..... I mean, Let's go Ducks!
The Ducks have their last chance before the Olympic break to snap their longest stretch of regulation losses this season tonight in Nashville.
Anaheim's slump sunk even deeper as the second-overall Chicago Blackhawks walked away from Honda Center with both points in hand after shutting out the Ducks for the second time in three games.
Chicago comes to The Pond for the first and only time this season to close out the season series with the Ducks.
The Ducks play their final home game before heading off to Sochi and/or Cabo.
The Ducks fell behind in the first and kept it close through the middle of the third, but couldn't fight back against Columbus.
The Ducks look to stave off complacency (and maybe some Super Bowl hangovers) in the last week before the Olympic Break.
The Ducks begin their final week before the Olympic break by hosting one of the hotter teams in the league, the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Ducks struggled to score from the start, and an early goal in the second period for the Stars stood as the game winner.
The first place Ducks host the 10th place Stars.

All Christians are called by God, by virtue of our baptism, to enjoy his love, to love God in return and to serve God and others in our lives. Another way of describing our 'calling' is to talk about 'vocation', a word which comes from the Latin word "vocare" meaning 'to call'.
Vocation doesn't just apply to those people who are called to authorised ministry. All Christians have a vocation to witness to the transforming love of God through worship and service to others, using the gifts that God has given them.
Christ has no body now on earth but ours,
No hands but ours, no feet but ours;
Ours are the eyes through which to look out
Christ's compassion to the world
Ours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good,
And ours are the hands with which he is to bless men and women now.
St Teresa of Avila (1515–82)

The SCAN Foundation and UCLA Center for Health Policy Research recently released the results of a survey of California voters conducted by Lake Research Partners and American Viewpoint which reveals that most voters age 40 and older are largely unprepared for the costs of long-term care should they need it. The purpose of the survey was to understand how prepared voters age 40 and older are for the costs of long-term care, gauge their concern about the issue, and explore whether voters think the issue should be a priority for candidates and elected officials. For more information, visit:
On April 5, 2010, Colorado Representative Cherilyn Peniston and Senator Morgan Carroll introduced a bill (H.B. 1397) which would allow all workers in the state to accrue paid sick days for personal illness, to care for a sick child or other family member, or to recover from domestic violence or sexual assault. Workers would accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, with a maximum of 9 paid sick days for full-time workers. Businesses with fewer than 10 employees would not be required to provide more than 40 hours of paid sick leave a year. For more information, visit:
On May 5, 2010, President Obama signed the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act (S. 1963) into law. The new law will provide family caregivers of veterans information and training, respite, counseling, and ongoing supportive services. In addition, family caregivers of veterans who were injured in the line of duty after September 11, 2001 are eligible for training and certification, health care coverage and a caregiver's stipend. The bill also improves health care for veterans in rural areas, helps the Veterans Administration (VA) adapt to the needs of women veterans, and expands supportive services for homeless veterans.

The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have launched Health Reform GPS, a website that offers information and insights related to implementation of the new health care reform law. Health Reform GPS provides policymakers, journalists, researchers, policy analysts and others comprehensive information about health care reform, including regularly posted short essays, called "Health Reform Implementation Notes," that explain the changes made by the law, provide background, describe the federal implementation process and timetable, and identify the questions and challenges policymakers will be grappling with in the months ahead. Users will be able to comment on the information posted. For more information, visit:
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare recently published a bulletin (Number 78) that analyzes the take-up rate of residential respite care among older adults in the country who were deemed eligible for such respite based on a uniform assessment. The bulletin reports findings about the influence of dementia status, carer status and English proficiency on the take-up of respite care. The results reveal that only about a quarter (27%) of people approved for residential respite care actually used it within 12 months of their approval. A slightly greater proportion of people with dementia (32%) took up respite care than those without dementia (25%). For more information, visit:
Europe: "Informal Carers: Who Takes Care of Them?"
The European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research released a policy brief in April 2010 called "Informal Carers: Who Takes Care of Them?" The brief uses various national and international data sources to analyze available information about carers in Europe, who benefits from informal care, what differences exist between European countries, and what policies are in place to support carers.

Survey: "Baby Boomers' Caregiving Duties Impact Jobs and Health"
Business Wire reports that a new research study by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and ComPsych Corporation reveals that "the demands of balancing a full-time job and caring for an injured or ill family member is a major source of stress for many Baby Boomers and is impacting their productivity and their health." The study, which surveyed ComPsych employees who had accessed the company's Employee Assistance Program, found that "younger Baby Boomers, ages 45 to 54, are carrying the largest burden of family care responsibilities, with more than half saying they've taken time off from work due to their caregiving responsibilities." The article offers recommendations to employers on how they can help relieve the pressure felt by working caregivers. For more information, visit:
In April, Genworth Financial released its 2010 Cost of Care Survey which reveals that the costs for all types of long-term care, including home and community-based care and residential care, have increased to varying degrees in recent years. The survey reports on the average rates of home care providers, adult day health care, assisted living facilities and nursing homes by region, state, and in many cases, metropolitan area. This year's report is one of the most extensive surveys of this type to date. It reveals that, overall, the cost of care among facility-based providers has steadily increased, while "non-skilled care"-related home care costs have remained relatively flat. For more information, visit:
The Campaign for Better Care recently released a survey that reveals that "most older adults, and particularly those with multiple chronic conditions, have experienced poor care coordination and a lack of information because their doctors aren't talking to each other or to them." The survey of adults age 50 and older finds that three in four respondents (74%) have wished that their doctors talked and shared information with each other. This issue impacts family caregivers, who are often the advocate and act as the care coordinator for adults with dementia or multiple chronic conditions. For more information, visit:

Volvo, with parent company Geely, is developing a lineup of premium A-segment vehicles aimed at the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class.
Tag: Volvo
Two new, performance-oriented Volvo models made their North American debut at the Chicago Auto Show.
(Read More…)
I thought I preferred the subtlety of the brown XC70 Polestar I tested back in September. I was wrong. With 350 horsepower and all-wheel drive, this must be the most desirable wagon offered for sale on our shores, even without a manual transmission. Press days for the show run from Thursday, February 6th to Friday, February 7th. Check back at TTAC for more debuts.
There was a time when wagons roamed the interstates, ferrying families from one National Lampoon vacation to another. With the rise of the crossover, those looking for the original "looks practical but handles like a sedan" mode of transport have few options, and most of them live in the luxury segment. Let's count them before we go too far. We have the soon-to-be-cancelled Acura TSX, the last-generation Cadillac CTS , the Volkswagen Jetta, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 3-Series and the Toyota Prius V. Even if you expand things to include "off-road wagons"the list only grows by three (Audi Allroad, Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70.) Despite the shrinking market, Volvo's brand has long been associated with practical wagons. It's almost hard to believe it has been three full years since Volvo sold one in America. That's about to change with the 2015 V60.
Engine downsizing is all the rage. Making the engine smaller increases fuel efficiency, reduces emissions and cuts vehicle weight. With ever tightening fuel economy legislation in the United States and CO2 emissions regulation in the European Union, mainline manufacturers are turning to turbochargers like never before. In 2009 just 5% of cars sold in America sported turbos, and that 5% consisted largely of European brands like Volvo and BMW with a long history of forced induction. By 2013 that number had more than doubled to 13%. Honeywell expects the number to rise to 25% in the next four years and the EPA tells me that by 2025 they expect 90% of cars sold in America to sport a turbo engine. With turbos becoming so ordinary, what's a turbo pioneer like Volvo do to keep a competitive edge? Add a supercharger of course.
In an effort to sell their wares to Western markets, Geely and their subsidiary Volvo have teamed up to build a subcompact global car aimed at offerings from Ford, Honda et al.
Hakan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Car Corp. told the Automotive News World Congress that Chinese built Volvos will be exported "fairly quickly" to the U.S. market. Samuelsson wouldn't say exactly when but he did say that because of Volvo's Chinese ownership the company is in a unique position to use China as an export base. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group purchased Volvo from Ford Motor Co. in 2010. (Read More…)
The second of three concepts hinting at Volvo's new styling direction, the XC Coupe Concept has been unveiled ahead of its official debut at next week's 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
I live in a small, genteel, Southern colonial home that comes with all the local goodies.
An over-sized ceiling fan in every room. A little front porch that offers a palatial view of the rolling prairies of Deliverance country.
Throw in a mint julep, homemade lemonade, and the belting baritone of Paul Robeson, and the world becomes my oyster.
Except not right now. It's too damn cold outside. Which got me to thinking…
While Volvo 240s continue to be crushed in alarming quantities, I also see quite a few Volvo 140s during my wrecking-yard trips. Prior to today, we'd seen this '68 142, this '69 145, this '71 144 and this '71 142, and now another non-rusty, solid-looking 140 is going to be eaten by The Crusher. (Read More…)
During my recent trip to Iceland, I stopped by a few Reykjavik wrecking yards to see what kind of stuff those Norsemen send to The Crusher. We've seen this Lada Niva, and this Renault Megane, some Dodges, and now we've got a DAF-connected Volvo that was never sold in the United States. (Read More…)
TTAC Commentator furhead writes:
A while back I had written in with a question about which is the best wagon to get. The advice was great, but I didn't follow any of it. We ended up with a 2005 Camry SE simply because it was too good of a deal to walk away from. The car is fine…and I guess that is the problem. That is all it is: fine. Except for the seats, they suck. The front seats are by far the worst seats that I have ever had to travel in. Any ride longer than 1 hour requires a bottle of Advil nearby in order to make it through.
So now, after living with two children for some time now, my wife and I have a better idea of what we need and don't need, and we are coming to the realization that we don't need a car that neither one of us likes and makes our backs hurt on long drives. (Read More…)
I've always had a soft spot for Volvo, that's probably why I've owned two and chose European Delivery on one of them. But Volvo has a problem. It's not the product. It's not even the brand positioning. It's a lack of advertising and visibility. Let's dive deep into my mind as I pontificate about Volvo's destiny.
As a teenager, I spent a fair amount of time at my local ghetto kung-fu school, punching people and being punched by people with no safety equipment beyond a set of mandatory "winter gloves". It was fairly boring stuff, really, but it gave me a vague appreciation of the man known as "JCVD". From Bloodsport all the way to the massively deconstructive yet strangely uplifting JCVD, the Belgian actor and martial artist has consistently delivered just the kind of stuff that 15-year-old brown belts want to see.
And now he's delivered again.

Sara Teasdale (8 August 1884 – 29 January 1933 / Missouri)
Spring Night
The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,
The drowsy lights along the paths
Are dim and pearled.
Gold and gleaming the empty streets,
Gold and gleaming the misty lake,
The mirrored lights like sunken swords,
Glimmer and shake.
Oh, is it not enough to be
Here with this beauty over me?
My throat should ache with praise, and I
Should kneel in joy beneath the sky.
O, beauty, are you not enough?
Why am I crying after love,
With youth, a singing voice, and eyes
To take earth's wonder with surprise?
Why have I put off my pride,
Why am I unsatisfied, --
I, for whom the pensive night
Binds her cloudy hair with light, --
I, for whom all beauty burns
Like incense in a million urns?
O beauty, are you not enough?
Why am I crying after love?
Read poems about / on: fog, beauty, pride, hair, joy, sky, night, light, spring, world, love, mirror

However, it was the economic and political situation in Europe during the early 19th century plus, the fact that the Spanish Crown issued the Royal Decree of Graces (Real Cédula de Gracias) which allowed the immigration of people of non-Hispanic origin to immigrate to the island, that contributed the most to the immigration of hundreds of German families to Puerto Rico in search of a better life. Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain to the United States under the terms of the 1898 Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish–American War and the U.S. established military bases there. Many soldiers of German-American descent stationed in the island intermarried with the locals and established their homes there. With the passage of the Jones Act of 1917 Puerto Ricans were required to service in the Armed Forces of the United States. Puerto Ricans fought in Germany during World War II and have served in U.S. military installations in said country since then. Many of these soldiers married German girls who eventually moved to the island with their husbands. Puerto Ricans of German descent have distinguished themselves in differents fields among them the fields of science, business and military. its not a coincidence that puerto rico is one of the most sucessful islands in the Caribbean and also has alot of German immigrants | |

Skills shortage creating pre-budget anxiety
Businesses desperate for skilled labour will be keenly watching the upcoming federal budget, fearful the federal government will water down the Canada Jobs Grant amid provincial and territorial opposition.
Critics dispute the government's claims that the program is needed to address a serious skills shortage in Canada, but those on the front lines beg to differ.
And they fully support the government's original proposals to combat the problem.
Serge Buy, head of the National Association of Career Colleges, said he's heard rumours that Ottawa might give into provincial and territorial demands.
An official in Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney's office, meanwhile, would say only that talks continue between Ottawa and the provinces.
In last year's budget, the government said it would slice $300 million – about 60 per cent – from the so-called Labour Market Agreement implemented by the Conservatives in 2007.
That initiative provides funds to train unemployed workers not eligible for employment insurance and is aimed at aboriginals, immigrants, women, youth, older workers, people with disabilities and those with low literacy levels.
Under the original proposal, Ottawa would issue the grants itself if the provinces and employers provide matching funding.
The Conservatives are aiming to compel employers to train their future and current workers, and to encourage provinces to focus on training that will result in actual employment.

The PCAOB's Nomination Process: SEC Adds a Little More Transparency
One of the oddest provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley was Congress creating the PCAOB with a dotted line to the SEC. I'm not sure that this was an obligation that the SEC wanted, particularly after a lawsuit involving this unusual regulatory framework (ie. one regulator reporting to another) wound up in the Supreme Court. After its SCOTUS victory, the SEC posted written procedures for appointment of a member or chair of the PCAOB in November.
Now that the SEC is actively seeking a PCAOB board member with a CPA background, it has taken another new step - posting information about this job search and even posting "sample letters" that it sent on Friday to 14 leaders in the financial industry seeking their input (egs. Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Jim Doty).
The SEC's New Chief Economist and Risk Fin Director
On Friday, the SEC announced it had hired Vandy Professor Craig Lewis to serve the twin roles of Chief Economist and Risk Fin Director. Craig has some awkward shoes to fill in the new Risk Fin Division in the wake of this Reuters article about the inaugural Director Henry Hu's perceived lack of accomplishments and his unusual reimbursement arrangement with the agency.
The LinkedIn IPO: A Favorable Comparison to the Internet Bubble Years
An anonymous member sent in these thoughts on last week's IPO by LinkedIn:
In the LinkedIn IPO, I was glad to see that:1. a rational pricing of the security;
2. the company's CEO down-played the market performance of the stock on the first day; and
3. the prospectus disclosure made clear that it won't be profitable in 2011 - although still running a profit for the first quarter.I also note that, unlike so many of the tech companies going public during the "IPO Internet Bubble," this is a company that had a profit last year and that the underwriters and their affiliates did not purchase LinkedIn securities in a pre-IPO private placement or extend a credit facility to the company. Such pre-IPO private placements by the underwriting firms had the effect of enhancing the company's stockholder's equity and also adding to the underwriting entity's risk because the firm was also, directly or indirectly, an investor in the company.
My view is that so long as Wall Street can restrain itself from engaging in pre-IPO investments in the companies they take public and otherwise "fixing" the aftermarket in some new way not already addressed by the SEC's expansion of the prohibitions of Regulation M to aftermarket trading, the "irrational exuberance" of the public to purchase shares in these kinds of companies will not cause broader economic problems when the trading price falls back to more rational levels in line with the IPO price and the value of the company.
The quality underwriting firms in the "good old days" required at least three years of profits before taking a company public. It would be good if the WSJ tended to indicate disfavor about the secondary market hysteria in acquiring the shares of an IPO company with just one year of profits - in order to inject a voice of reason - and not appear to encourage "Bubble" mentality. The run-up in the aftermarket price is irrational - and maybe at least partially the result of too many ordinary folks having the ability to trade for themselves directly.
Nonetheless, this is a better situation than the '90s IPO Bubble because if the public wants to overpay for the stock in the secondary market (as noted in this NY Times article today), then each person takes that risk and their individual loss should not have far-reaching consequences because the broker-dealer firms are not taking a position in the company and the secondary market price is not the result of fraud and manipulation.
Broc's note: I love how Dominic Jones has put together this "story" of how LinkedIn's IPO played out over social media channels. It's a brilliant idea to tell the story like that. And I also love Mark Suster's look at how LinkedIn compares to all the other hot start-ups in Silicon Valley right now.

- How to Read a Study Record
This project aims to improve guideline-based asthma care using enhanced communication and screening tools, telemedicine and directly observed therapy of preventive medications in city schools. Web-based screening will be used to identify children with persistent or poorly controlled asthma and to send reports to the child's primary care doctor. Children in the SB-TEAM group will receive a telemedicine asthma assessment in school and be prescribed a daily preventive asthma medication to be taken through school-based directly observed therapy. The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the use of the SB-TEAM intervention for improving guideline based care, enhancing adherence to effective preventive medications and at reducing morbidity among young urban children with asthma.

Other: School-Based Telemedicine Enhanced Asthma Management Other: Enhanced Usual Care |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Health Services Research |
Official Title: | School-Based Telemedicine Enhanced Asthma Management: A Randomized Control Trial Using Novel Technology to Improve Preventive Asthma Care |
- Average number of days without asthma symptoms (Symptom Free Days) [ Time Frame: Average number of days, over 2 weeks, during peak winter season (November-March) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary outcome measure is asthma morbidity between groups. We will measure asthma morbidity by looking at the average number of days without asthma symptoms (symptom free days) over 2 weeks, during each follow-up assessment during the peak winter season (November-March). Symptom free days are defined as 24 hour periods of no asthma symptoms including, coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest or shortness of breath. The number of symptom free days will be reported by the child's caregiver.
Estimated Enrollment: | 400 |
Study Start Date: | August 2012 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | July 2017 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | July 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: School-based Telemedicine Enhanced Asthma Mangement Group
We will use a web-based system to assess asthma severity or control and will send a symptom report to the child's primary care physician (PCP). Children randomized to the SB-TEAM group, will receive a telemedicine visit in the school health office at the start of the school year to provide an initial asthma assessment. The telemedicine provider will deliver brief asthma education and referrals to community resources, and will send a guideline-based preventive medication prescription electronically to a local pharmacy. The pharmacy will deliver the medications to home and school, and the school nurse will administer the medication as directly observed therapy throughout the school year. Follow-up telemedicine assessments will occur twice during the study period. These follow-up visits will focus on assessment of control, assessment of ongoing triggers or co-morbid conditions, and brief asthma education.
Other: School-Based Telemedicine Enhanced Asthma Management |
Active Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care Group
Children randomized to the enhanced usual care group will receive a symptom assessment using national care guidelines, a recommendation for appropriate preventive medications, and asthma education materials. We will use the web-based system to send a symptom report to the child's PCP with guideline-based recommendations for preventive care. We will provide systematic feedback to the family and providers at the same intervals as in the SB-TEAM group's telemedicine visits, by prompting providers to use care guidelines, and caregivers to schedule recommended follow-up visits with the PCP.
Other: Enhanced Usual Care |

Ms. Polly,
While I am normally an ardent fan of your work, I feel that this one has fallen short.
As you can tell from my name, I am quite small. How am I supposed to be able to defend myself? And I am far from visible. My size makes it quite hard for me to own a dog, so that one's out the window.
I'm also afraid that I have far too many friends for us to run in one small group. We would overrun the road.
Thank you for your time.
I look forward to seeing your improved work in the future.
Kindest of regards,
Agnes Taylor

Carlos Sainz Jr says rapid test pace no proof he is ready for F1
By Edd Straw and Pablo Elizalde | Wednesday, July 31st 2013, 09:42 GMT |
Carlos Sainz Jr says he is no hurry to secure a Formula 1 drive, as he feels it is still too early for him despite impressing in his test with the two Red Bull-owned teams.
The 18-year-old drove for both Red Bull and Toro Rosso during the young driver test at Silverstone earlier this month.
Sainz, second quickest in his first Formula 1 outing, said the teams were very happy with his performances.
While the Spaniard, who races in GP3, admits the test was a big morale boost, he is aware that he still has some way to go before he is ready to compete in F1.
"In January I wasn't even expecting to have a day in a Toro Rosso or even try Formula 1 this year, it was not in my plans," said Sainz.
"I'm a GP3 driver. I got the opportunity to test a Toro Rosso and a Red Bull.
"This is obviously a big boost for my self-confidence, and a spur to keep pushing in all areas, but I'm still 18 years old, I'm young and there is no way I will go to Formula 1 next year.
"There's no rush. I'm patient. I know that there is still a long way to go and that just doing a Formula 1 test does not mean I'm going to be a Formula 1 driver.
"I'm really calm about it and I'll keep pushing to improve."
Sainz, currently in seventh place in the GP3 standings, did concede he feels the test was a step in the right direction.
"I felt closer but still I have a really long way to go and a lot of work to do," he said.
"In total I've only done 60-70 laps in a Formula 1 car. I'm still very green. I've got a lot of maturity and a lot of speed to come from myself, and a big learning process.
"I hope another opportunity to test a Formula 1 car will come.
"I would really like it, because once you try it, it's hard to step out...to get a run with the Red Bull guys was like winning a big lottery.
"Formula 1 is my only dream and goal. My dream is to be a Formula 1 driver and maybe one day a Formula 1 champion. I'm even more motivated after the test."

Interpol makes new warning linked to prison breaks
Interpol makes new warning linked to prison breaks
PARIS — Interpol has issued a global security alert in connection with suspected al-Qaida involvement in several recent prison escapes including those in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan.
The Lyon, France-based international police agency says that the alert follows "the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals" in the past month. The alert calls on Interpol's 190 member countries to help determine whether these events are coordinated or linked, the organization said in a statement Saturday.

Such units are now commercially available
Step 1: Super-Capacitor array
Step 2: Carrier design
Step 3: Possible alternative configuration
No, you don't get 2600F. Check your physics textbook, or just listen to ashiekh, he really does know what he is talking about.
Give him a break, it's really counter intuitive.
The capacitance for series-connected capacitors is 1/Ctotal = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3..., while the voltage goes Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3...
The confusing part is that 1/C, to get the final capacitance you still have to invert it, so the final capacitance of the array is 2600 divided by 6.
Capacitance is not a direct measure of energy storage, it's a measure of the ability to store a charge. To get the total energy stored, you need to do a bit more math. C = joules / voltage squared, so a 2v capacitor at 2600 farads holds 5200 joules of energy, while a 12v capacitor at 433.3~ farads holds 31200 joules of energy, or 6 times the amount.
One way to see this is the energy is 0.5 C V^2, and 6 in series carry 6 time the voltage, that is one way to see that the overall capacitance is now 1/6 th
The real issue is when the UPS tests the 'battery' and in my case the capacitor array is seen to test as good, unless the UPS tests when I have a high load connected and then the UPS feels the voltage is falling faster than expected.
Still, there are now lead acid batteries of claimed 12 year life http://www.csb-battery.com/english/01_product/02_detail.php?fid=19&pid=120 but hopefully the capacitors will live even longer than this.
Then again, one anticipates a new generation of UPSs based on lithium technology.

When Cpl. John Feather responded to a call that a vehicle had crashed into a house along state Route 3041 on Sept. 9, 2009, he had no way of knowing that the case would take nearly two and a half years to come before a magistrate.Joshua Paul Hoover, 31, Basehore Road, Rockwood, was arraigned Wednesday before Somerset District Judge Ken Johnson on charges stemming from the 2009 incident, which involved the crash, the theft of two vehicles and the attempted theft of a third.
When Feather arrived he saw that a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu had entered the side of the home up to the vehicle's windshield. The driver was nowhere to be found.
"It was an elderly woman's house. She was upstairs sleeping when the crash happened," he said. The woman was not hurt.
While at the scene, Feather learned that about 10 minutes after the crash a nearby resident reported his 2008 Ford Explorer stolen. The Explorer's owner told police he forgot his keys in the center console and fell asleep in his living room. He heard someone start the Explorer and looked outside only to see his vehicle being backed out of his driveway along Chauncey Woods Road, less than a half-mile from the crash scene. He called the police.
The man's second vehicle, a 1996 Ford F-150 pickup truck, also parked in the driveway with the Explorer, appeared to be tampered with because the glove compartment was open and papers had been disturbed, police said. Blood was found on the driver's side door of the F-150.
While en route to the crash, Feather was informed by Somerset Borough police that a vehicle without lit headlights was speeding east on Chauncey Woods Road. The vehicle turned right onto Berlin Plank Road and traveled south toward Somerset Borough. The vehicle made a left turn onto Stepping Stone Road and then was lost, according to a probable-cause affidavit.
"We searched for the stolen vehicle for three days," Feather said.
The Explorer was recovered in the Rockwood area, he said. Dried blood was found inside the vehicle.
Later on Sept. 9, 2009, police received a report that a Malibu had been stolen from the Quality Inn parking lot, Feather said.
The Malibu contained cigarette butts, a pack of cigarettes with Hoover's identification on the back and blood, he said. The owner's girlfriend told Feather she smoked, but never in her boyfriend's car, so the cigarettes could not be her own.
"I looked for him (Hoover) for six months," Feather said. "I caught up with him in SCI-Somerset (Feb. 12, 2010)," Feather said.
Hoover refused DNA testing.
On Nov. 8, 2010, Feather obtained a search warrant for comparison DNA from Hoover. He used two swabs to extract DNA from Hoover's mouth at SCI-Houtzdale in Clearfield County, where Hoover was incarcerated. DNA test results took a year.
Hoover was paroled while the state police were waiting for the DNA results, Feather said. The analysis indicated that the DNA profile obtained from a bloodstain in the Explorer and from a cigarette butt in the Malibu matched Hoover's DNA profile, according to the affidavit.
"It was a lengthy investigation," Feather said.
