BWI lockdown enacted after brief security breach
Screening procedures at Thurgood Marshall International Baltimore-Washington Airport were temporarily stopped Tuesday evening when a woman walked away from security before secondary screening, authorities say.
Officials say that a novelty lighter shaped like a hand grenade carried by a traveler was the cause of the brief security shutdown.
Maryland Transit Administration officials say that the A and B piers were shut down and screenings were halted at about 8:50 when a woman collected her bags and walked away from security despite agents requesting to check her bags again.
Officials say the woman had the novelty lighter in her bag. The woman had accidentally left it in before going through security, airport authorities say.
The woman was tracked down and rescreened a few minutes after she wandered away, and was then allowed to board her flight, airport spokesman Jonathan Dean said.
Normal operations at the airport have resumed, airport officials say.

Principles of Politics Applicable to a all Governments, trans. Dennis O'Keeffe, ed. Etienne Hofmann, Introduction by Nicholas Capaldi (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2003).

The property laws can be of two kinds. They can be intended to favor its accumulation and perpetuate it in the same hands, the same families or individual classes. Such is the origin of lands declared inalienable, of the exempting of certain classes from taxation, of entailments, of primogeniture—in sum, of all the feudal or noble customs.
This legal system, taken in all its extent and the severity it had in the past throughout Europe, takes away from property its true character and greatest advantage. It makes it a privilege. It disinherits the class finding itself without property. It transforms passing chance, which the next moment would have put right, into a permanent injustice. If the country is commercial and industrious, this system of property undermines it, because it forces individuals in commerce or industry to seek refuge or property in a more hospitable country. If the country is purely agricultural, this system brings in the most oppressive despotism. A terrible oligarchy forms. The peasants are reduced to the condition of serfs. The landowners themselves are corrupted by the improprieties which benefit them. They develop a ferocious, almost savage mentality. They need for their perpetuation to banish all enlightenment, to repel all improvement in the poor man's lot, to oppose the formation of that intermediary class which, bringing together the advantages of education and the absence of prejudices which the privileged condition entails, is among all peoples [235] the depository of just ideas, of useful knowledge, of impartial opinion and the hopes of humanity.
Today there are few countries where this system continues in its entirety; but almost everywhere we find vestiges of it, not without drawbacks. Such laws, when they are only partial, have, indeed, a new disadvantage. The group forbidden to acquire certain properties is angry at this exclusion, which is anyway always accompanied by other humiliating distinctions, since one abuse never stands alone. The excluded group takes advantage of what it possesses to demand the rights it is denied. It encourages discontent and exaggerated opinions in all nonproprietors. It prepares troubles, struggles, and revolutions to which everybody afterwards falls victim.
In the countries where these oppressive laws continue in undiminished rigor, it has been claimed, as always in such cases, that the classes they oppress recognize the advantages therein. It has been said that serfdom, a natural consequence of this system of property, was felicitous for the peasants and examples were given. Nobles one could suspect of hypocrisy and who should at least be accused of lack of foresight, have offered their vassals freedom. This is to say that they proposed to men brutalized by ignorance, without energy or capability or ideas, that they leave their fields and cabins, to go freely with their infirm parents and children of tender years, in search of a subsistence they had no means of procuring. These vassals preferred their chains, from which it was concluded that serfdom was agreeable. What, however, does such experience show? What we knew, that for men to be given freedom, they must not have been degraded to a subhuman condition by slavery. Then, freedom is doubtless only an illusory and deadly gift, just as the daylight becomes sorrowful for him whose view is enfeebled by the shadows of a dungeon. This truth holds for all types of servitude. Men who have never known freedom's advantages may well enthusiastically submit to the yoke: [236] reject their sheepish and deceptive witness. They have no right to make depositions in so holy a cause. As to freedom, listen to those ennobled by its blessings. Only they should be heard, only they consulted.36
I would add that all governments today are working, commendably, to eliminate the last traces of this barbarous legislation. Alexander I is one prince in particular who seems to have brought to the throne the love of humanity and justice and who puts his renown not to driving his people back into barbarism but to preparing them by instruction for freedom, encouraging on his vast lands the freeing of the serfs and the dissemination of landownership.37
The thing about the inalienability of goods is something common to everything human. Its intention was reasonable in the era which gave it birth; but the institution has outlived its usefulness. When there was no public justice and force was the sole guarantee against robbery, this force being found only in sizeable properties, which provided numerous vassals ready to defend their master, the inalienability of property was a means of security. Today, when social conditions are quite different, this inalienability is an evil for agriculture and pointless to boot. The owner of very large properties inevitably neglects a large proportion of his property. As Smith says in The Wealth of Nations, Book III, Ch. 2, to convince oneself of this, one need only compare big estates which have stayed in the same family continuously since the days of feudal anarchy, with the small holdings surrounding them. What is true of States is true of properties. Excessive smallness deprives them of the most efficient means of improvement. Excessive size [237] makes them liable to careless management, haste, and negligence.38
He who wants to sell proves he lacks the means or motivation for improvement. He who wants to buy proves he has will and means. Entailments and all types of inalienability force the former to keep that which is a burden on him and prevent the latter acquiring what would be advantageous to him. To society this is a double loss, since amelioration of property constitutes national wealth.
We must observe, in finishing this section, that the order of ideas has forced us to invert the facts. It was not at all by way of laws forbidding the wider distribution of property that the feudal oligarchy was established, but by conquest. It was then that this oligarchy, to perpetuate itself, had recourse to these prohibitive laws. Thus it would be wrong to fear a like result from proprietorial government. This government, when it rests on the principles established above,39 will stay true to them because proprietors have no interest in replacing the legitimate enjoyment they are assured of by property they know they can guard, if they so choose, by impediments which would add nothing to their enjoyment and offend their wishes. Proprietorial government has nowhere produced a feudal one; rather, feudal government has corrupted proprietorial government.
[36. ]For once, Constant agrees with Rousseau, who declared in his Discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes: "It is not, therefore, by the degradation of enslaved peoples that the natural disposition of man for or against servitude should be judged, but by the huge efforts made by all free peoples to guarantee themselves against oppression . . . I feel that it is not for slaves to reason on freedom." Oeuvres complètes, éd. cit., t. III, pp. 181–182.
[37. ]On the reform projects of Alexander I, see the letter from F.-C. de La Harpe to the Emperor on 16 October 1801, in Correspondance de Frédéric-César de La Harpe et Alexandre Ier, published by Jean-Charles Biaudet and Françoise Nicod, t. I, 1785–1802, Neuchâtel, La Baconnière, 1978, pp. 316–330.
[38. ]Adam Smith, op. cit., t. II, p. 421. "There are still today, in each of the United Kingdoms, these great estates which have remained, without interruption, in the same family, since the time of feudal anarchy. One only has to compare the present state of these domains with the possessions of neighboring small proprietors, to judge, without other argument, how little such extensive holdings are favorable to progressive cultivation."

Do "L" shaped (90 degree) shower rods make for reliable shower design? Am I asking for a puddled up bathroom floor after every shower? I just don't see this idea carried out very often and that worries me.
I'm seeking input on a bathroom remodel idea. I have a small bathroom, part of it has a sloping ceiling. This room used to be a closet.
The shower is in a corner and will be about 33"x33" or so.
I would like to use an"L" shaped shower-rod, thus having a shower curtain on two sides of the shower. The floor and walls around the shower area will be tiled. I can build the shower curb plenty tall to contain the curtain and water.
I'd like to avoid walling in the shower, I'd rather have the room wide open so it won't seem so small.
Any experiences with this type of design (positive and negative) would be greatly appreciated!!
I've found Signiture Hardware and they carry several high quality brands of L shaped and neo-angle shower rods, but I have not found much discussion on this design.
Thanks in advance Adam
It seems like a very small shower space. At this point it seems you may have to custom size the shower rod, especially if it's a slopped ceiling.
You may try showerrods.com they may be able to help you with something custom.

Varnish (software)
Developer(s) | Poul-Henning Kamp, Redpill-Linpro, Varnish Software |
Stable release | 3.0.5 / December 2, 2013 |
Written in | C |
Operating system | Unix |
Type | HTTP accelerator |
License | BSD |
Website | www.varnish-cache.org |
Varnish is an HTTP accelerator designed for content-heavy dynamic web sites. In contrast to other web accelerators, such as Squid, which began life as a client-side cache, or Apache and nginx, which are primarily origin servers, Varnish was designed as an HTTP accelerator. Varnish is focused exclusively on HTTP, unlike other proxy servers that often support FTP, SMTP and other network protocols.
The project was initiated by the online branch of the Norwegian tabloid newspaper Verdens Gang. The architect and lead developer is Danish independent consultant Poul-Henning Kamp (a well-known FreeBSD core developer), with management, infrastructure and additional development originally provided by the Norwegian Linux consulting company Linpro. The support, management and development of Varnish was later spun off into a separate company, Varnish Software.
Varnish is open source, available under a two-clause BSD license. Commercial support is available from Varnish Software, amongst others.
Version 1.0 of Varnish was released in 2006,[1] [2] Varnish 2.0 was released in 2008,[3] and Varnish 3.0 was released in 2011.[4][5]
Varnish stores data in virtual memory and leaves the task of deciding what is stored in memory and what gets paged out to disk to the operating system. This helps avoid the situation where the operating system starts caching data while it is moved to disk by the application.
Furthermore, Varnish is heavily threaded, with each client connection being handled by a separate worker thread. When the configured limit on the number of active worker threads is reached, incoming connections are placed in an overflow queue; when this queue reaches its configured limit incoming connections will be rejected.
The principal configuration mechanism is Varnish Configuration Language (VCL), a domain-specific language (DSL) used to write hooks that are called at critical points in the handling of each request. Most policy decisions are left to VCL code, making Varnish more configurable and adaptable than most other HTTP accelerators. When a VCL script is loaded, it is translated to C, compiled to a shared object by the system compiler, and loaded directly into the accelerator.
A number of run-time parameters control things such as the maximum and minimum number of worker threads, various timeouts etc. A command-line management interface allows these parameters to be modified, and new VCL scripts to be compiled, loaded and activated, without restarting the accelerator.
In order to reduce the number of system calls in the fast path to a minimum, log data is stored in shared memory, and the task of filtering, formatting and writing log data to disk is delegated to a separate application.
While Varnish is designed to reduce contention between threads to a minimum, its authors claim[citation needed] that its performance will only be as good as that of the system's pthreads implementation.
Additionally, a poor malloc implementation may add unnecessary contention and thereby limit performance, hence the general recommendation of running Varnish on Linux or Unix based environments.
Load balancing[edit]
Varnish supports load balancing using both a round robin and a random director, both with a per-backend weighting. Basic health-checking of backends is also available.[6]
Other features[edit]
Varnish Cache also features:
- Plugin support with Varnish Modules, also called VMODs[7]
- Support for Edge Side Includes including stitching together compressed ESI fragments
- Gzip Compression and Decompression
- DNS, Random, Hashing and Client IP based Directors
- Technology preview for HTTP Streaming Pass & Fetch
- Experimental support for Persistent Storage, without LRU eviction
- Saint and Grace mode

Cost | Very Low (under $20) |
Safety | No issues |
How do astronomers collect stardust? They design and build satellites that are launched into space to collect particles on specially designed panels. Satellites can be sent to orbit around an object of interest: a planet, moon, or comet. In this experiment, you can build your own mini satellite and use it to collect some pretend stellar debris. If you simulate an asteroid impact, how much stellar dust will your satellite collect? Will placing your satellite at different "orbital" distances from the impact change the amount of debris collected?Objective
In this experiment you will build your own mini satellites and use them to test if the number of particles collected during a satellite mission is related to the orbit distance from the satellite to the object being observed.

Last year, scientists at NASA got a very special delivery all the way from outer space. It was a package of space particles captured by the StarDust Mission, a satellite that had been sent into space 7 years earlier. StarDust's mission was to fly through the coma of the comet Wild 2 to capture some stardust, and then to send the capsule back home to earth where it could be studied by a team of scientists. The coma of a comet is near the nucleus and has a high density of dust, gas, and particles.
When the capsule landed in the desert of Utah last year, scientists were relieved to see the tiny space particles unharmed and ready to be studied. By studying the captured particles from the StarDust Mission, scientists will have seen some of the oldest particles in the universe (NASA JPL, 2007).
How did the satellite capture the particles? This satellite was designed with a special collection panel containing a special gel called "aerogel" that could trap the particles as they bombarded the panel (Figure 1a). The trace of each single particle could be seen in the aerogel where it hit the collection panel (Figure 1b). Then, each single particle could be cut out of the gel as a triangular slice and examined to find out what type of matter the particle was made of (Figure 1b).
Figure 1a. |
Figure 1b. | Figure 1c. |
In this experiment, you will build your own mini satellite and use it to collect some pretend stellar debris. You will make your satellites out of a milk carton and use petroleum jelly to capture particles. Then you will use different lengths of string to hang your satellites at different distance from the ground, simulating different orbital distances. If you simulate an asteroid impact, how much stellar dust will your satellites collect? Will placing your satellite at different "orbital" distances from the impact change the amount of debris collected?

I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.Experimental Procedure
- First, you will need to build your satellites, one for each distance you will test. In this procedure I describe using three satellites, but you can build more. This procedure describes a simple design for a mini satellite you can build using a milk carton
- Cut one side of the milk carton box off using scissors. Cut the piece of milk carton into three rectangles of the same size:
- Cut a slit in each rectangle, halfway down the center of the rectangle. Draw a circle on each "wing" on the white side of the rectangle using the permanent marker and a penny as your guide. You should end up with 2 equal-sized circles on each rectangle:
- Assemble the two pieces into a mini-satellite. Tie a string around the center of the satellite for hanging.
- Repeat steps 2–4 to make three (or more) total satellites.
- Prepare your satellite mounting device (a clothes hanger) for your volunteer to hold for you. Hang each of your satellites from a clothes hanger at different lengths using the attached strings. One satellite should be on a short string (about 10 cm), the next on a medium sized string (about 50 centimeters), and the last on a long string (about 100 cm or 1 meter). If you are using more than three satellites, just change your measurements accordingly.
- Next, you will need to set up your crater impact simulation. This experiment is very dusty and messy, so you will need to set up your simulation outdoors. Also, you will need to bring your volunteer to help you hold your satellites during the "meteor" impact. Your back yard would be a good place to set up your simulation site.
- Place a tray or shallow box on the ground at your test site.
- Fill the shallow tray or box with ash from your fireplace or grill. If you do not have any, you can substitute any light, dusty powder in place of the ash like: chalk, talcum powder, etc. Allow all of the ash to settle and do not disturb the ash until you are ready for your experiment.
- Smear a layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on each circle of your satellite. The jelly will collect particles by sticking to them. You should have four jelly-smeared collection circles on each satellite. NOTE: It is very important to protect your satellites after this step, so that you do not accidentally contaminate the jelly-smeared circles with debris. Try and keep them clean until you do the simulation!
- Have your volunteer put on a face mask and hold the satellite hanger above, but not touching, the surface of the ash. Explain to your volunteer what you will do in the next step (so they won't freak out) and tell them to hold very still.
- After a countdown, throw a "meteor" (a hard object such as a baseball) into the pile of ash, causing a "crater impact" and sending up a cloud of "stardust" around the impact crater.
- After the dust settles you can tell your volunteer to give you the satellite hanger, and be sure to thank them for doing such a great job.
- Using a digital camera, photograph each collection circle (4 total) for each satellite using the digital micro setting on your camera. Here is an example of the three photos I took for my experiment:
(10cm string)
(50cm string)
(100cm string) - Once you take your pictures, you can repeat the experiment and collect more data by wiping off the petroleum jelly COMPLETELY and starting again at step 10.
Now you can analyze the data. Open each photo in a digital photo editor, like iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop. Count the total number of particles in each circle, and write the data in a table:
Satellite Orbit Distance (cm) Number of Particles Counted in Each Circle Average Number of Particles Collected Circle #1 Circle #2 Circle #3 Circle #4 10 cm 50 cm 100 cm - Calculate the average number of particles for each satellite orbit distance by adding together all of your data (in this case, circles 1–4) and dividing by the number of data points (4). Write your answer in the final column of the data table.
- Make a bar graph of your data. Make a scale for the "Average Number of Particles Collected" on the left side of the graph (y-axis). Draw one bar for each satellite orbit distance you tested, and label each bar on the bottom (x-axis) of the graph.
- What do your results mean? Does the average number of particles collected increase or decrease with orbit distance? What conclusion can you make about this?

- Try testing different satellite designs for collecting debris. Can you design a better system? Try changing the panel design in different ways: add more panels, change the size or shape of the panels, change the orientation angle of panels. Test each design and show which design is the best.
- In this experiment, you used ash as a source of material. What about other materials? Try comparing different source materials with different consistencies (ash, sand, powder, etc.) to see how much debris they scatter after impact. Can you use your satellite test to measure the results of this simulation?

► Superresolution fluorescence imaging of brain tissue ► High-throughput ultrastructural imaging of synapses ► High-precision position and orientation analyses of synaptic proteins ► Quantitative analyses of composition and plasticity of individual synapses
Determination of the molecular architecture of synapses requires nanoscopic image resolution and specific molecular recognition, a task that has so far defied many conventional imaging approaches. Here, we present a superresolution fluorescence imaging method to visualize the molecular architecture of synapses in the brain. Using multicolor, three-dimensional stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy, the distributions of synaptic proteins can be measured with nanometer precision. Furthermore, the wide-field, volumetric imaging method enables high-throughput, quantitative analysis of a large number of synapses from different brain regions. To demonstrate the capabilities of this approach, we have determined the organization of ten protein components of the presynaptic active zone and the postsynaptic density. Variations in synapse morphology, neurotransmitter receptor composition, and receptor distribution were observed both among synapses and across different brain regions. Combination with optogenetics further allowed molecular events associated with synaptic plasticity to be resolved at the single-synapse level.

Lycoming College will host two events about community supported agriculture presented by Lara Judson, of Walnut Run Farms in Nippenose Valley.
Community-supported agriculture is an arrangement between a farmer and a customer. The customer buys part of the farmer's harvest in advance and receives a share as the crops become available. This allows the farmer to grow the right amount of crops needed for the season and for the customer to receive the freshest produce possible.
The events, open to the public, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 26 and 1 p.m. March 25 in Heim Building G-09.
Reservations are required and may be made by contacting Amy Dowling, director of alumni relations, at 321-4134 or via email at email@example.com.
Walnut Run Farm is a multi-generational family farm that raises about 40 vegetable and herb crops, as well as cut flowers and lamb.

Game 14something: Cubs 11 Pirates 9
Written by Pat Lackey on .
Writing recaps for these games is getting depressing, but damn, that second Pedro Alvarez home run was sure majestic, wasn't it? Just for like ten minutes there, I had this vision of Pedro hitting 10 homers in the last 17 games and dragging the Pirates kicking and screaming to a respectable finish. And then the bullpen got involved.
I've been doing a bad job of posting lately. I know. I've been recalibrating into "What does 2012 mean for 2013?" mode; it's not where I wanted to be after the way things started this year, but so it goes. You all know me; I can't stay quiet about the Pirates for forever.
People bitch about Barmajas (see what I did there) or point to the inconsistency of Cutch & Pedro when placing blame for this tailspin but I think JMac going in the tank is the biggest by far. It hasn't been posted here but he's been demoted to the pen for probably the rest of the season. What's disturbing is reading into Hurdle/NH's reasoning, they're saying it's all mental. Mental? Great, just what we need, another Ian Snell/Ollie Perez.
J-Mac needs to spend some time reciting the Tom Seaver Mantra--"The most important pitch is strike one."
More and more in light of the bullpen troubles, I keep looking back at the Brad Lincoln trade as the point where the season began to slide. When the starters pitch well, the team doesn't hit. When the team hits, the bullpen wastes the opportunity. It's April all over again, with an added bad twist.
Given the fact that the Pirates remained in possession of a wild card for almost three weeks after the deadline, and given the nightmarish starts by McDonald, Locke, and Co., I'm not sure losing the seventh inning guy is what sent the season into a tailspin.
What kind of stupid base running was Hurdle trying when Jones was 'trying' to get caught between 1st and 2nd with Marte on 3rd? Terrible. That play doesn't work in High School Ball, let alone in the Bigs. At least the Steelers won...
I believe "At Least The Steelers Won" is the working title for the Pirates' 2012 season highlights DVD.
How many games have the Bucs lost in this stretch because of the Bull Pen? It's like Clint finds the guy in the bull pen who will screw up and then brings him into the game. WTF? After Pedro's 2nd blast I switched to watch some football... I couldn't believe it when I saw bases loaded and Rizzo at bat... hey some lucky Cub fan won a new Mazda with that grand salami.... then to waste Marte's no out triple.... I knew that would finish the day... MUST win today
It was 13-9 Cubs but that loss still felt the same stinging burn which seems to get worse and worse with each loss. But yeah those Daydro homers were sure majestic indeed.

Corporate Management - Discipline is the key to success
We make our way into the conference room of Ashish Somani and ease ourselves into the chairs, glancing around tentatively. The room is free of clutter and has an organized air about it. A few items are placed on a side table across the room, but what makes its presence felt is a small replica of the Indian tricolor that seems to indicate that he is nationalistic.
A few minutes later, the young bespectacled businessman with a well-trimmed moustache walks in, striking a convivial air of informality. Surprise! Surprise! The business veteran with 17 years' experience under his girdle is all of 34 years young. "I got into business at the age of 17," he smiles disarmingly.
Before we get down to brass tacks, Somani recounts how he finds it difficult to spend some quality time with his 8-year-old daughter when he returns home late
The little lady is too busy watching her favourite programmes on the telly! The personal anecdote makes it clear that although he comes from a Marwari family of Rajasthan,India, chanting business mantras 24 hours a day isn't his cup of tea.
He is the Managing Director of Somani Swiss Industries Ltd, a steel-making and re-rolling enterprise that commenced operations in 1974. Incidentally, the Somani group of companies is one of the oldest business families of India that ventured into business way back in 1696.
But we are here to discover the other side of Ashish Somani. Has he always been spiritually inclined? "Since I come from a Hindu family, religion and spirituality are in my genes. However, I'm religious more in terms of sanskar (culture). I believe in the philosophy, 'As you sow, so shall you reap'. My family laid great emphasis on character, discipline, integrity, a sense of purpose and in dealing with people in a dignified manner. Dignity of labour is important. Even a mali (gardener) should be addressed as maliji."
The son of Mahendra Kumar Somani, Ashish was born in Kanpur, schooled in Calcutta and did his B.Com from Delhi University. What are his interests? "I'm interested in Indian mythology. I have a fair amount of knowledge on mythology and history."
What's it about mythology that so arouses his interest? He pauses, taking in the magnitude of the question. "If you read it with a sense of philosophy, Indian mythology answers millions of questions. When one reads about the adversities the Pandavas faced, it puts life's hardships in proper perspective. For instance, Arjun had to live as a hijra (eunuch) for a year
Whenever adversity hits me, I think about what the Pandavas went through. We usually tend to think, 'Why me?' The exile story itself is a big answer to all questions. It also teaches you that everybody is accountable
"I'm impressed by Rama's sense of idealism. When I'm asked whether Rama or Krishna has been more of an inspiration, I say, 'Krishna is beyond my comprehension.' In the Ramayana, the prevailing ethos is 'Ye tumhara hai' (this is yours). In the Mahabharata, everyone says 'Ye hamara hai'(this is mine)! But there's lots of teaching in the Mahabharata, a lot of neeti (strategy)."
Does he have a guru? "My guru is from Mathura, IndiaDr Vasudeva Krishna Chaturvedi, who's written several books on various subjects. In Hindi and Sanskrit."
In what way has his guru helped him? "Well, one sees a lot of people in high positions succeeding with very little values in life. I once asked my guru about this. He replied that many of these people succeed because they are aggressive. But are such people genuinely happy? While they may be rich, their family life is invariably poor."
Responsible corporate citizens like the Tatas took over a century to get where they are, whereas some others have achieved the same success within a couple of decades
by breaking every rule in the book! Any comments about such disparate role models?
Somani's response is quick: "You have to be God's gifted child to succeed while breaking the rules. It's like Sachin Tendulkar hitting a perfectly good-length ball for six. If another batsman tries it, he could be back in the pavilion. To that extent, hats off to somebody who can succeed by creating his own rules. However, I wouldn't like to do the same thing.
"A good person may or may not get a fair deal in life. But at the end of the day, these things balance out. For example, the biggest problem for a dishonest person is lack of credibility. And the worst punishment for a liar is that he cannot believe anybody else! Honesty counts. A gentleman had once fixed an appointment for me with the Finance Minister. On that day, I completely forgot about it. The next day I called up and told the gentleman, 'Sir, I'm sorry. I completely forgot about it.' He said, how's it possible to forget an appointment with the FM? Couldn't I give a better excuse? I told him that was the truth. Two months later, he called up and we continue to be friends. To err is human. If you make a mistake, fine. If you repeat that mistake, that's not good."
In what way does his spiritual outlook impact on his business life? "I try to look after the needs of people in the office, believing that if God has given me the means to do something, I should."
What's his wife's outlook on issues of social concern? "My wife, Shefali, runs an art gallery called Art 'n' Soul, which promotes young artists only because she feels anybody can sell big names."
How does he beat stress? "I go to the mandir (temple). After a dialogue with God, I always emerge stronger, wiser. I also do the Hanuman chalisa (invocation to the Hindu god of strength Hanuman) in the mornings. And repeat Rama's name 108 times before sleeping. Yoga and a brisk walk or jog in the morning also help."

A Resource for Parents of Picky Eaters
By Heidi Green ©, reprinted with permission from BabyGooRoo.com
Five years ago, I had very firm ideas about childhood nutrition. "Balanced meals" was my mantra. I presented plates with foods of different colors (indicating different nutrients), and I sought out whole foods, natural foods, and organic foods. My firstborn stuck up his nose at much of it. Even the foods children are "supposed" to love – macaroni and cheese, pizza, and hot dogs – earned his disdain.
I quickly went through what I now think of as the Five Stages of Preschooler Feeding Grief:
- Denial – "He'll eat it next time."
- Anger – "Why won't he eat this?!"
- Bargaining – "Eat this if you want dessert."
- Depression – "What's the point in cooking good foods if he won't eat them?"
- Acceptance – "Well, he is a healthy boy in spite of being picky."
And that's the important truth: my now five-year-old son is a healthy child. He's lean and active, energetic, and funny. And while he still prefers the foods he accepted easily, he has broadened his palate some. A little bit.
MyPyramid for Preschoolers
The title of this U.S. federal government's subpopulation-specific nutrition pyramid, MyPyramid for Preschoolers available at MyPyramid.gov, is something of a misnomer. After all, preschoolers won't use it themselves. Most don't read. It's a sure bet that none are planning their own meals! So this tool is, more accurately, for parents of preschoolers. Still, those who are planning meals for children between the ages of two and five may find it helpful.
Like the other MyPyramid modules, the preschoolers' site is customizable. Parents can enter in their children's information, and find out information related to:
- Growth charts – Body Mass Index and height-for-age charts are available. Unfortunately, although the site does acknowledge that there is a "wide range of normal growth," it still encourages parents to "see where your child compares to other [children]." Truly, growth charts should compare a child to himself, over time. Also, the growth charts provided here are the typical NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) charts and not those developed by the World Health Organization as a result of a seven-year, international study of optimally-fed infants. No mention is made of those charts.
- Eating habits – Some pretty common-sense information will give parents a starting place. Suggestions include: set a good example, offer a variety of foods, start with small portions, help them know when they've had enough, follow a meal and snack schedule, make mealtime a family time, and more.
- Feeding picky eaters – If the toddlers I have known are any indication, I predict this will be the most-visited part of the site! Parents can look here for guidance about common types of picky eating, how to cope with it, and how to get preschoolers to try new foods.
- Physical activity – Again, the suggestions seem to be largely common sense. Do parents really need to be told that they should be role models in this area? Do they need to be told that engaging in family activities leads to more activity for their children? The section on how to keep your active preschooler safe sounds promising, but actually only links to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site with just six tips.
- Food safety rules – Clean, chill, separate, and cook are rules that apply to food preparation for any eaters, but tips about choking hazards and prevention may be helpful.
Of Note for Parents
Childhood obesity is a serious problem – and I can't help but think that maybe the physical activity page should have been above the growth charts. Since physical activity is important for everyone, I'd rather have parents focus on what their children are doing than on these numbers!
Still, this site might be helpful as a discussion-starter for parents who are starting to grapple with the problem of picky eating in their preschoolers. If nothing else, it might help parents move from the Stages of Preschooler Feeding Grief to a more practical, problem-solving construct.
Even if it doesn't, take heart. A friend told me of a child she once knew who seemed to survive on just doughnuts and pizza. Try as his parents might, they faced insurmountable opposition to other foods! What happened to the child? These days, he's a strong, healthy pediatrician.
This brings us back to the final stage of Preschooler Feeding Grief: Acceptance. Parents, look at your children. Most times, they turn out healthy in spite of picky eating.

Grand Prize Award: Individual Recognition Award: Runner-Up Award Recipients: |
2011 Grand Prize Award Winner: Michigan Woodworkers' Guild Minwax®, the leading manufacturer of wood finishing and wood care products, has selected the Michigan Woodworkers' Guild of Royal Oak, Michigan, as the grand prize winner in the 2011 Community Craftsman Award Program. The award is being presented to honor the guild's numerous contributions, over the course of 15 years, to the Detroit Medical Center — Children's Hospital of Michigan. The guild members have used their woodworking skills and generously donated time to complete countless projects for the hospital and its patients. The Minwax® Community Craftsman Award is a national program that recognizes individuals and groups that promote community improvement through working with wood, and awards them financial grants and products to encourage continued community service. As the 2011 Community Craftsman Award grand prize winner, the Michigan Woodworkers' Guild receives a $5,000 cash grant, a supply of Minwax® products, and a private wood finishing workshop with renowned do-it-yourself expert and author Bruce Johnson. Michigan Woodworkers' Guild members have built a doll-sized MRI machine, which allows children to put their dolls through the MRI process, promoting a better understanding of the process and alleviating their stress about undergoing their own procedure. They construct small wooden boxes to hold patients' personal possessions during their hospitalization, and they build "memory boxes" that the hospital uses to return the possessions of children who have lost their fight with illness or injury. Another special project done by members was to make the waiting room more kid-friendly by creating 25 circus-themed picture frames that hold a variety of children's' art class pictures, plus a magazine and book rack that is easily accessible to children of every size. Every year, guild members build and donate hundreds of wooden toys to ensure that all children hospitalized or enduring outpatient care over the holidays gets a toy to keep. And members also build a variety of large toys that are donated for fundraisers – rocking airplanes, elaborate rocking horses, and pedal-powered airplanes. Beyond the hospital, the members of the guild also work with a statewide group of woodworking instructors to promote woodworking among young people. By sharing the joy and benefits of working with wood, the guild is passing on their passion and skills while making wood finishing relevant to a whole new generation of woodworkers. "We are proud to recognize the volunteer members of the Michigan Woodworkers' Guild for their outstanding community service and impressive body of work in support of the children of DMC Children's Hospital," notes Janet Krakow, vice president, marketing, Sherwin-Williams Wood Care Products. "No matter what the project was, whatever the children's hospital needed, the guild members were there; their selfless contributions to the hospital and their community reflect the true spirit of the Minwax® Community Craftsman Award. Their story also serves as inspiration to others and illustrates how working with wood – a gratifying activity in itself — is all the more fulfilling when done for the good of others." |

Individual Recognition Award
The 2011 Individual Recognition Award, including a $2,000 cash grant and a supply of Minwax® products, was awarded to a team of two friends
and World War II veterans — Bill Rogers and Tom Polhamus of Garden Grove, CA — who were nominated by a fellow woodworker. Together,
these men have organized volunteer groups for building wooden toys for at-risk youth, resulting in the donation of 5,000 toys to local charities
in 2011. With this award, Minwax® is proud to recognize these two gentlemen's countless hours spent constructing safe, durable, wooden toys for
the children in the community. For this, we at Minwax® applaud them and their enduring dedication to improving their community — one toy at a
time! The award posthumously recognizes Tom, who passed away just a few months ago.
Runner-Up Award Recipients
Two organizations were named Community Craftsman Award runners-up for outstanding community service — the Kansas City Woodworkers' Guild
of Kansas City, MO, and The Woodworkers Club of El Paso, Texas, Inc. Each will receive a generous assortment of Minwax® products for use in
future projects. The Kansas City Woodworkers' Guild, in the aftermath of the destruction by tornado of much of Joplin, MO, designed and built
24 portable bookshelves for kids in Joplin after two elementary schools were destroyed. They designed shelves that when closed, looked like books,
especially after artists from Hallmark Cards painted them to look like children's story books.
The Woodworkers Club of El Paso, an area where many of the residents live below the poverty line, has established its "Quality of Life Program", where area residents are able to join the organization for $5 per month. In turn, residents have access to a fully-equipped woodworking shop, staffed by guild shop monitors who give hands-on assistance and guidance. This provides residents the opportunity to build much of their own furniture and gives the retired and more senior members a hobby.
Do you know someone who has used their woodworking skills to make a difference in your community? Enter them for the 2012 Award.

What To Do When Your Spouse Loses A Job
The rise in unemployment among married couples, particularly husbands, is having a big impact not only many families' current income and expenses, but also their long-term savings.
"Unemployment has grown most sharply among husbands in older couples," says Boushey, "leaving many Baby Boomer couples with the double whammy of falling retirement savings and limited job prospects."
Even still, do not see a job loss as an opportunity to raid your nest egg. If you take distribution from retirement funds as cash, not only will your unemployment benefits likely be reduced, you'll have to pay ordinary income taxes on any traditional 401(k) or IRA money.
If you're under age 59 1/2, you'll face a 10% penalty for taking an early distribution from a 401(k), 403(b), 457 plan or IRA account. That means that by taking a lump sum withdrawal, from a traditional 401(k) plan, your balance could be cut 30-40% or more. Bottom line: "Don't raid your retirement," says Bankrate's McBride. A job loss "may only be temporary, but retirement is inevitable and lasts a lot longer."
And...Keep talking
Perhaps most important for couples going through a job loss is to keep lines of communication open, particularly in the midst of a personal financial crisis. "One of the primary reasons for divorce is a job loss for a spouse," Francis says. "Continue to invest in your relationship and schedule weekly money dates to discuss the new financial situation that you are in." Work together to achieve the successful life that you both deserve.

Thanks to everyone for a great workshop yesterday – the papers are online on http://wow.oerc.ox.ac.uk/ and I am currently collecting presentations (several on slideshare) and linking them from the Program.
– Dave
The sister organisation of W3C, the Web Science Trust (www.webscience.org) proposes to create a global "Web Observatory". The Open Data movement and the Transparency Agenda are successfully advocating the release of very large institutional and commercial data sets describing social phenomena, economic indicators and geographic trends. This proliferation of data represents great opportunity for researchers and industry but this data abundance also threatens to make it ever more difficult to locate, analyse, compare and interpret useful information in a consistent and reliable way; a situation which can only get worse unless we can help stakeholders perform useful analysis rather than drowning in a sea of data. The Web Observatory will offer an institutional framework to promote the use of W3C and other standards in the development of; Semantic Catalogues to globally locate existing data sets, Collection Systems to gather new global data sets, and Analytics Tools and methodologies to analyse these data sets. This community group seeks to articulate the business and technical requirements for the Web Observatory.

Hello All – we are organising a workshop on building Web Obervatories at ACM WebSci13. 2-3 page position papers are invited – the deadline is 20 March.
It will be a great opportunity for discussion on the challenges of building interoperable Web Observatories.
1st International workshop on Building Web Observatories
Paris, 1 May 2013
co-located with the ACM Web Science Conference 2013
In an age of "big data" it is no longer a concern to get access to data per se but rather to find the relevant data in a vast ocean of keyword search results. As the store of data grows inexorably our focus inevitably moves from an unsorted Web of documents to a collated, curated and contextualised Web of data. Web Observatories are providing unique opportunities to bring together datasets and analytic tools by actively engaging with research communities. There are significant challenges in deploying Web Observatories that need to be discussed. At the same time, performing analytics on a global scale across interoperable Web Observatories holds the promise of further insights and value to the academia, business and society.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers involved in building Web Observatories to discuss opportunities, challenges and best practices, as well as guidelines for Web Observatory interoperability. Discussion will involve the following topics:
* Building consensus on the functional aspects of Web observatories.
* Best practice on deploying and managing Web observatories.
* Harvesting, cataloguing and discovering datasets on the Web.
* Interoperability of datasets and analytics methods and tools.
Position papers in the following areas are invited:
* Building Web Observatories; functional aspects, architectures and best practices.
* Linking Web Observatories; interoperability challenges and guidelines.
Position papers need to be 2-3 pages long in LNCS format and they can be submitted at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bwebobs13
All accepted position papers will be included in the online proceedings and their authors will be invited to provide a poster, which will be presented in the area outside the workshop rooms during the break.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to give a 10 minute presentation and sit on a panel; there will be two panels, one for each of the above areas.
Paper submission deadline: 20 March 2013
Acceptance notifications: 27 March 2013
Camera-ready version due: 3 April 2013
The workshop proceedings will be published on EPrints and on the WSTnet Web Observatory website http://webscience.org/web-observatory/

Hi – Materials for Craig Gallen's short talk tomorrow: Web Observatory Product Specification V0.1-DRAFT document and The Specification Problemslides.
– Dave
Hi – this is a key scoping slide from the presentations I've given at Web Observatory Workshops this year which I thought I'd circulate now ahead of tomorrow's discussions about the scope and ambition of the group – it distinguishes between the Web as a lens, the Web as the observed artefact itself, and the Web as an infrastructure for data publishing and an analytic community.

They're making way for the next expansion in regards to this. When they bowl in the lower portion of the north endzone, plans are to put in some field level and mid level suites, kind of like Cowboys Stadium has. They'll be club seats as well, so beer can be sold there too. Good move.

Working Tumblr App For Playbook (.bar file)
Had to dig around for a long time to find a working app for Tumblr.
How to install:
turn on development mode on playbook
create password (if not done already)
if on chrome (i dont know if this is available on other browsers), download playbook app manager extension (called "PLAYBOOK APP MANAGER")
type in ip address on the little "man" icon next to the orientation lock icon (select the man icon)
it should appear on bottom
click the link
disregard any warning given by browser and go to page
enter created password
drag downloaded .bar file into top right corner
wait for installation
check to see if the app works
Sorry if instructions were not clear, if not please tell me and I'll try to help more.
Download .bar file here: Tumblr for Playbook and BB10 - Blackberry Playbook and BB10 Android Apps | Android APPS - BB10 Apps & Playbook Apps - 02-24-2013, 06:52 PM #2MyHomeSpace.ca and MyCondoSpace.ca
The versions I've tried so far, including this one, 'force close' when I click on notifications. Otherwise seems to work ok.

I downloaded Tumblr for Android 3.2.8 from eapktop.com, sideloaded using the Chrome Extension and I must say - I'm very impressed.
First of, ALL images (inc. GIFs) load up nicely. Secondly, I have had no login issues, notification issues or force closes and such.
The UI has improved (since the last time I sideloaded it, which wasn't a nice experience - choppy scrawling, hardly any images loading, GIFs were dead)
So, if anyone has any doubts about sideloading Tumblr, don't hesitate to download the latest revision and sideload it to your PB
p.s. My long post probably reflects on how happy I am with the sideload! :-DIn BBRY we trust

The Sunset Plant Finder helps you choose the right flowers and plants for your climate and gardening style
moreSee how to improve your garden soil for healthier plants and a richer crop
watchHere's how to get started growing your own fresh, delicious food in garden beds or pots
moreHow to choose and use this easy, plant-friendly paving for great paths and outdoor rooms
• Calendulas. These cheery, daisylike annuals are easy to grow from seed, and they bloom from spring until July or August in hot-summer areas and all summer in cooler locales. Edible petals add color to salads and soups. Sow seeds now for June flowers or purchase seedlings for instant color. Plant in a sunny spot and give moderate water. Choose old-fashioned forms, from orange-yellow 'Classic', pumpkin 'Orange Zinger', Pacific Beauty (a pale yellow to orange mix), and 'Pink Surprise' (mixed colors), to double flowers like 'Apricots and Oranges', crested double flowers like Kablouna Mix (apricot, gold, lemon, and orange), or quilled flowers such as orange 'Porcupine'. Seeds are available from Thompson & Morgan (800/274-7333) or Seeds of Change (888/762-7333).
• Season extenders. Get a six- to eight-week head start on harvest by planting tomato and green-pepper seedlings in frost-protection devices such as Aqua Dome, Kozy-Coat, or Wallo'Water. They also benefit other heat-loving vegetables, like cucumbers, melons, and squash, that are sown directly into the garden. Close or cover the tops during cold snaps. Look for season extenders at nurseries and garden centers; they can be reused for many years.
• Spring color. You can start planting cool-season annuals in containers now. Choose a pot that withstands frost (copper, plastic, stoneware, terra-cotta labeled "frost-proof," or wood) and fill it with high-quality potting mix. Look for pansies, primroses, snapdragons, stock, sweet William, and violas. Mix in foliage plants such as chives, dusty miller, parsley, or vinca, or use vegetables with attractive leaves (sow seeds directly in the soil), including 'Bull's Blood' beets, ferny-leafed lettuce, Russian kale, or Swiss chard. Cover containers with a fabric frost blanket for a few days while plants acclimate and, after that, at night whenever cold weather threatens.
• Amend sandy soil. Sandy and gravelly soils hold little water or nutrients, so drought stress and stunted growth may result. If you're uncertain which type of soil you have, take a sample to your local cooperative extension office. Before planting vegetables or ornamentals that require regular irrigation in sandy or gravelly soil, mix 4 inches of compost, 4 inches of manure, and 4 inches of peat moss into the top 12 inches of soil. Or choose sand-loving plants such as butterfly weed, catmint, common thrift, Cupid's dart, dianthus, gaillardia, lavender, santolina, sea holly, or sea lavender.
• Divide perennials. Every few years, divide multistemmed perennials just after new leaves appear in spring to relieve crowding, create more plants, or improve the soil.
• Yellow jackets. These wasp relatives can be a serious nuisance in late summer when they aggressively defend their territory (your garden). To attract the queens as they emerge from winter hibernation and before they build new nests, place traps out now. Hang them in out-of-the-way places to lessen the likelihood of being stung.
To control insect pests in your vegetable garden, lure in their natural enemies ― ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps ― by planting the nectar plants they love. These include aster, chamomile, coreopsis, cosmos, feverfew, marigold, scabiosa, and yarrow.
Frogs, lizards, toads, salamanders, and snakes eat huge numbers of pests, so draw them into your garden by providing shelter such as dry-stacked rock walls, mounds of moist organic mulch, or a pile of cut branches in an out-of-the-way corner. Also set shallow dishes on the ground, and keep them filled with fresh water. Avoid harmful pesticides and chemicals.
The best mulch for dryland plants is screened gravel, river rock, or stone chips spread 2 to 4 inches deep. Austrian Black or ponderosa pine needles also work well; they are slow to decompose and don't hold moisture against plants. Apply mulch after your spring cleanup.

Graciously shared at a tasting commemorating JK sours release...poured conservatively into a tulip, estimated 3 oz pour. My first Canty, vigin no more, it's a brand new world.
Cantillon is just so experienced in their ways. The only reason I didn't give this an even more perfect score is because I had my first DDG before this.
Appearance is liquid hay, cloudy layered beautifully. The smell is all barnyard, funk, sweet citrus-y juices, pineapple...
The taste is wonderful, palate cleansing, apricots, citrus, just so primitive and refreshing. The mouthfeel was lingering, just the salt of the Earth in a bottle. Cantillion, I'd say keep up the good work, but I'd be an 100 year old broken record- just simply know what they're doing, I'm very humbled... And to be honest I feel honored to have drank it.
I shall return.

4.56/5 rDev +7.3%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5
bottled February 1st 2013
Appearance: (4.75)
Pours a hazy golden straw with a very tightly bubbled, two finger tall pure white head. The quickly dies down to a half finger's height, leaving no lacing behind in it's wake. For a gueuze, the head that remains is quite stable.
Aroma: (4.5)
Wow, as soon as the beer is poured your nostrils are struck by loads of fully matured, slightly cheesy Brettanomyces funk; plenty of musty horse blankets, wet hay, dried apricot flesh, peach and bright pear undertones. Beneath this funk are juicy notes of tart lemon and pineapple juice. As the beer warms, subtle vanilla from the oak barrels begin to surface amongst the funk.
Taste: (4.5)
Bright, tart lemon juice slaps your palate immediately, quickly followed by the huge, fruity Brettanomyces character that was so present in the aroma; rich dried apricot flesh, pineapple, musty dried leather, damp earth and hay. The beer finishes off dry and tart with long, deep lingering rustic tones of light stone fruits; mostly apricot and peach, pineapple and very creamy, slightly malty vanilla tone. Amazing.
Mouthfeel: (5)
Medium bodied, with a very creamy texture, assuming from the rolled oats that were utilized in the base beer. Firm carbonation.
Overall: (4.5)
The organic version of Gueuze from arguably the most sought after Lambic producer, Cantillon. The classic "Cantillon" funk is ever so present in this beer, but for me, what really separates this Gueuze from the rest of the lambic producers is the fact that the body is so silky and creamy. The beer is really is a balanced as a sour can get, as the Brett funk really cuts through, yet doesn't overwhelm the tartness of the aroma or flavor. Definitely worth seeking out.

One of the best bottles of Gueuze I've had. A young Gueuze, so the taste is not as sour as an Oude Gueuze. Beeradvocate says it is retired, but mine was bottled 27 August 2013. So it is probably back in production. Of course, I got it in Ghent, Belgium and not the good ole US of A.

Pours a golden color with a quickly dissipating white head with no lacing. Funk and lemon on the nose%2C with sour and yeast notes. Sour on the front of the palate with lemon%2C green apple%2C and that funky %22horse blanket%22 that is the signature of these beers. Finishes quite dry and champagne-like%2C very refreshing. Mouthfeel is light with effervescent carbonation. Overall%2C this is an outstanding example of the style. I wasn't a big fan of sours prior to this%2C but this beer is a palate changer for me!
