Students from Duluth on lockdown in Boston
UPDATE: Vinnie Surges, who grew up in Duluth and graduated from St. Scholastica in 2011, is enrolled in the aeronautics and astronautics doctoral program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.By: John Myers and Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune
Vinnie Surges said he doesn't get scared very often, but in the chaos of Thursday night in Cambridge, Mass., on the edge of his college campus, he was scared.
Surges, who grew up in Duluth and graduated from St. Scholastica in 2011, is enrolled in the aeronautics and astronautics doctoral program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
This morning, he was still confined to his housing unit in the Kendall Square area until the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing is apprehended.
"It was more just not knowing what exactly was going on or where he was," Surges said.
Thursday's night's dramatic shootout happened about one-third mile from his home "at a place on campus, the Stata Center, that I walk by every day on my way to the office," Surges told the News Tribune this morning.
"The bombing on Monday was about three-quarters of a mile one way from my house. The shootout last night was about one-third mile from my home the other direction. Everything out here is pretty close together," Surges said.
Surges said MIT police have been good at keeping students informed about what is going on. Minutes after he heard ambulances and police vehicles heading toward the shootout scene, and then ambulances speeding away from the site, Surges and all other students received an automated phone call from MIT police that there was an active shooter on the loose and an officer down.
The campus, and much of the Boston area, has been on lockdown ever since.
"It's like a ghost town out there. I can see maybe one or two cars, and normally at this time on a Friday morning it should be jammed with people and cars coming into campus," Surges said. "They just told us to stay home and stay inside until this is over."
Surges said the action now appears to have moved to the Watertown area of the Boston metropolitan area, which is a bit farther away.
"Everyone is still on edge. It doesn't seem like there's immediate danger here right now," he said. "But we really don't know."
It was still unclear this morning if the second suspect was holed up where police thought he was or whether he had slipped away undetected.
Surges, a runner who often runs by the bombing site, said the tragedy has brought his campus closer together even as they grieve for the victims and wonder where the second suspect is.
"The students really have come together to help each other. Last night I was on Facebook and calling people just to make sure they heard there was a shootout going on, in case they were out for a walk or something," he said. "It's been a very intense week."
Gus Downs is another Duluth native attending MIT. The senior was practicing with an a capella singing group Thursday night when he received a text from the university.
"They said there was an active shooter on campus near the Stata Center," Downs, 21, said in a telephone interview today. "That's about a two- or three-minute walk from where we were. We saw that (text) and said, 'OK, we're not going to sing anymore.'"
The text had come at 10:48 p.m., said Downs, a 2009 Duluth East graduate. He and his fellow choir members remained in the room with curtains drawn and doors shut for an hour and a half.
"We could hear helicopters and tons of police car sirens coming from all over the place," Downs said. "It sounded like it was a pretty big deal."
Sometime after midnight, Downs poked out of the room and checked with a janitor, who told him police had said the building was not in jeopardy. At about 12:20 a.m. today, Downs rode his bicycle from the MIT campus in Cambridge to his home in Boston, about a six-minute ride.
He and friends monitored news feeds until about 3 a.m., he said. At that time, they were not aware that the shooting incident was connected with the Boston Marathon bombings, Downs said.
Today, Downs has remained in his house. MIT, like all of Boston and its suburbs, is in lockdown. Downs said Black Hawk helicopters are flying over the city. "I feel safe in my house," he said. "I wouldn't necessarily feel safe in Watertown (the suburb where one bombing suspect was killed by law enforcement authorities). I'm not somebody who gets really worked up over things like this, when things are out of my control. But it does seem bizarre that you or anybody you know could be a target. The (MIT) police officer who was shot is a friend of a friend."
At Harvard University, Duluth East 2012 grads Garrett Maron and Annie Harvieux were in lockdown, limited to short walks on campus.
"They've told us it's safe to make quick trips to the dining hall but all things considered, we should just stay in our dorms all day," Maron told the News Tribune just after 10 a.m. Central time from Harvieux's dorm room in Harvard Yard.
Harvieux, 18, said she was returning from a play on campus a little after 11 p.m. Thursday when she witnessed activity.
"We heard sirens and saw a helicopter overhead," she said.
"Harvard would send texts. It was a little confusing. They'd send an update and some news sites would Twitter it was a false alarm."
Maron said he was in a different friend's dorm when he got the messages from the university at about the same time.
"There were rumors that (the police and shooter) were in Harvard Square. That turned out not to be true," said Maron, who returned to his dorm — a first floor unit on major thoroughfare Massachusetts Avenue — at about 2 a.m. He said he woke up at 6:30.
"All this morning we've just been hearing sirens going past," he said.
"My mom called me this morning (from Duluth) and said, 'Maybe it would be a good idea if you didn't go out today.' I went out and had breakfast with Annie and I came back here."
Added Harvieux: "I woke up this morning to this huge slew of e-mails that we should stay inside not leave the building. It was very scary. A couple of hours later they opened up the dining hall for us."
There, she said she found comfort from the staff.
"The people who work here really care about our safety. They were saying of one guy, 'He's got a black belt. He'll take care of anyone.' "
Back in Boston a few miles removed from the manhunt in the near northwestern suburbs, Boston University was also in lockdown.
"We are allowed to go outside to the dining hall, but everyone is told that they should probably be inside their dorms until further notice," student Bauer LeSavage of Duluth messaged the News Tribune.
"I heard last night at around 11:30 about the police officer that was shot at MIT, but I remember not thinking that it was related to the two suspects that the police were looking for. I woke up this morning at 7 a.m. with many text messages and emails from the University telling us that the school is closed and we are advised to stay inside."
Harvard student Caitlin Pendleton of Superior compared the incidents of the past two days to the immediate aftermath of Monday's bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line.
"Today is calmer, in a way. Monday afternoon and last night had all the classic characteristics of a crisis. People were panicking and misinformation was being spread," she said.
"No one is supposed to go outside right now, obviously, so the situation is still serious. But no one is jumping to absurd conclusions anymore or hyperventilating in the dining hall."
News Tribune Editor Robin Washington contributed to this report.

Consolidating a Gender Perspective in the PROCOSI Network
Council researchers with the FRONTIERS program collaborated with PROCOSI, a network of NGOs in Bolivia, to test the feasibility and costs of a system for certifying that its member organizations provide gender-sensitive reproductive health services.
This study follows a previous three-year program conducted by PROCOSI to determine the effect of implementing gender sensitivity protocols in its clinics. A post-intervention evaluation of quality of care and gender standards developed by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), showed a significant decrease in unmet need for contraception (35%), modest changes in the communication between female clients and their partners, and increased client satisfaction with services in the 10 participating facilities. However, there were problems with the selection of standards, institutionalization of improvements, and the high cost—averaging over US$23,000 per clinic—of implementing the improvements. In 2005, FRONTIERS collaborated with PROCOSI to test the feasibility and costs of a system for certifying that its member organizations provided gender-sensitive reproductive health services.

The title was part of a special Simpsons that Kim Jong Il commissioned where Ralph Wiggum's mouth is jammed shut full of Korean bean paste. Stupid American! Last year in 317 ABs, Shin-Soo Choo had 14 HRs and 4 steals while batting .309. Though, as I used to say to one ex-girlfriend, "Beware the small sample size." Hmm… Maybe that's oversharing. Choo's last two months were a bit-torrent, to incorrectly use the slang of the kids. If you were to project Choo's last year stats out over a full season with a full-time job, you get the wrong idea. He's not a 25+ home run guy. The good thing (as of right now), he does have the full time job. In 2009, we should expect Shin-Soo Choo to have less power than he showed, but more speed.
Please, blog, may I have some more?JD Drew
Coming to the Braves outfield this summer, Jordan Schafer — The outfielder to have when you're drafting more than one. I picked him up immediately in my sucky fantasy baseball league. He sounds blahtastic! Maybe 10/15/.250 aka every outfielder that sits on waivers all year that has one good game and you contemplate picking up until you think better of it. Some have compared Schafer to Sizemore, but he's much greener. Though he does know his way around striking out. He's jumping straight from Double-A where he K'd 88 times in 297 ABs. CHONE and ZiPS project averages near .240. He may turn into a Sizemore, but for 2009 he's more of a Sighsmore <– pun! He's worth a flier in an NL-Only league. But then again, so is Cha-Seung Baek. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in spring training for fantasy baseball:
Dexter Fowler – Razzball was abuzz yesterday with the news Fowler might make the team. He really should, and Helton should retire so Ian Stewart can play, but whatever. Fowler is the total package like Lex Luger. He can run, mash and had the opportunity to go to Harvard. He could go 12/30 and hit .285. Then he's a 30/30 guy in a year or two. Keeper leagues should be all over him. I have Spilborghs on a few teams, but I'd happily move on from him to see Fowler get the chance. I grabbed Fowler in my Spilborghs leagues for backup until this shakes out. I'll drop whoever doesn't get the job. Fowler or Maybin?
Please, blog, may I have some more?After the top 20 outfielders for 2009 fantasy baseball, there's so many more outfielders to rank I need to turn this sucka to 40. This is after already going over all of our other 2009 fantasy baseball rankings. Since this is such a deep position, this list of 2009 outfielders could go to 60. Crazy, right? That's not crazy as in crazy, but crazy as in, "Huh. Um. Okay." When I'm done with all of the top 20 and top 40 lists, I'm going to do a top 100 and top 300 overall. That's right, ya'll; wonderful just gave birth to awesome. Now before we get into our top 40 outfielder list, here's our 2009 Fantasy Baseball Player Rater and our list of all the players with multiple position eligibility. Anyway, here's the top 40 outfielders for 2009 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don't like Brandon Webb. Why, Grey? Why the hard feelings? Did he have sex with your sister and then make you smell his fingers? No, you sick bastard. In 2004, I owned Brandon Webb in a league that counted Ks minus BBs and Webb had 119 walks that year, which is about twice his usual amount.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Aaron Harang is not a bad pitcher. Actually, he hasn't even been bad this year. (Okay, he hasn't been good either.) If I may turn my hat crooked, Harang just had some straight-up bad luck, yo. You want numbers? How about these?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chien Ming Wang is out at least 6-10 weeks with a foot sprain. (Yes, Wang limp until September.) Drop Wang. Drop him now. Definitely a blow for the Yanks. (Yes, usually Wang takes blow, not dealt one.) If you were counting on him to pitch you to the fantasy pennant, you've got bigger issues.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is the second morning I've woken up to a boxscore and I'm pissed off. This has nothing to do with fantasy baseball, and everything to do with baseball baseball. I like to watch the games. The first games were 3amPST (my time).
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Filed under: Heart & Vascular
High blood pressure is a common condition in which the force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.
Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.
You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
High blood pressure typically develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.

ACM Trans. Graphics (SIGGRAPH Asia), 30(6), 2011.
Efficient overlapped computation of successive recursive filters on 2D images.
project page
Abstract: Image processing operations like blurring, inverse convolution, and summed-area tables are often computed efficiently as a sequence of 1D recursive filters. While much research has explored parallel recursive filtering, prior techniques do not optimize across the entire filter sequence. Typically, a separate filter (or often a causal-anticausal filter pair) is required in each dimension. Computing these filter passes independently results in significant traffic to global memory, creating a bottleneck in GPU systems. We present a new algorithmic framework for parallel evaluation. It partitions the image into 2D blocks, with a small band of additional data buffered along each block perimeter. We show that these perimeter bands are sufficient to accumulate the effects of the successive filters. A remarkable result is that the image data is read only twice and written just once, independent of image size, and thus total memory bandwidth is reduced even compared to the traditional serial algorithm. We demonstrate significant speedups in GPU computation.
Hindsight: For completeness we should have mentioned integral images, a term sometimes used in the computer vision literature [Viola and Jones 2001] that also refers to summed-area tables [Crow 1984].

ø Ignore MorrusFighting Fantasy series resurrected for 30th anniversary
According to the BBC, the Fighting Fantasy series by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson (not that Steve Jackson) are being re-released in iPhone and Android format. While there have been many, many "choose your own adventure" type book series of varying complexity, Warlock of Firetop Mountain was definitely my first introduction to fantasy gaming of any stripe.
The first of the new versions will be released in September by an Australian company called Tin Man Games.

While the revolution ended in 2011, landmines, unexploded ordnance and leftover or poorly stored ammunition continue to threaten communities.
Landmines are generally divided into two main groups - anti-personnel and anti-tank - and have four main component parts: an outer structure made of either plastic, wood, metal, Bakelite, rubber or even glass; a fuse or firing mechanism; a detonator; and high explosives.
Some contain thousands of pieces of shrapnel, designed to fire out to great distances, while others have been made with a minimum amount of metal and are therefore difficult to detect using metal detectors.Unexploded ordnanceExplosive weapons - such as bombs, rockets, missiles, mortars and grenades - that did not explode when they were used and still pose a risk of detonation.
Credit: Sean Sutton/MAG
Why MAG is needed in Libya
Extensive stockpiles of weapons and explosives that had been stored in bunkers became unsecured during the conflict, leaving open access to those who wanted it.
Most households now have small arms and light weapons, which, in the face of political uncertainty, they're reluctant to give up. The result is that children in particular are at risk of accidental injury from unsecured guns in their houses.
There are also wider implications for regional stability, with reports of items being moved across borders into neighbouring countries and sub-Saharan Africa, and falling into the hands of non-state military groups.
► Please donate: your money makes a huge difference to conflict-hit communities
I would like to thank MAG for their efforts to give us a safer life.
– Tahir Bashir, Head of the Misrata War Museum
Our impact in Libya

• Land cleared: 555,444m²
• Unexploded ordnance: 20,496 items removed & destroyed
• Risk education: 112 session given
• Beneficiaries: 28,391
► See more about MAG's impact in Libya
► Please donate now: your £15 could help us to deliver lifesaving safety messages
Risk Education includes the provision of safety messages to at-risk individuals and communities, raising awareness of the dangers and promoting safe behaviour.
Makeshift 'museums' have been set up in many places, displaying as a reminder of what happened a vast range of mostly fused munitions, from cluster munitions to large calibre rockets. At this one, on Misrata's Tripoli Street, unexploded cluster munitions have been used to write 'February 17' (known as the day of revolt) in Arabic.

Clarification E13.4External OID for Extension (13)ILL-Supplemental-Client-Info (4)The design of the External object for ILL-Supplemental-Client-Info allows for flexibility in handling the variety of patron or client information maintained in individual ILL management systems. The object, loosely modeled on the Z39.50 GRS syntax, is structured as a recursive list (sequence) of type-content pairs, i.e., "client-info-type" and "client-info-content" The advantage of using a recursive list is that it allows a system to place data at the level of granularity that it uses, or that has been agreed to within a consortium. Client-Info-Type:Standard-Client-Info-Type:There is an enumeration of a limited set of basic types that covers the "standard" elements that most systems will recognize. Data types can be added to this enumeration as required by submitting a request to the ILL ASMA. Local Client-Info-Type:Any "local" data types that are not included in the enumerated list can simply be transferred as labeled elements using string labels for the Client-Info-Content. Client-Info-Content:The data types for the Client-Info-Content are taken from the base ILL standard.

Example 1 shows the object with data at a very coarse level of granularity. The object in Example 2 includes the same data, but has much finer level of granularity. This allows the system to determine information at a finer level of detail, such as if a telephone call is local or long distance. In the examples provided, each new SEQUENCE or SEQUENCE OF type value begins on a new line.

Katich hoping Blues will have the edge
NSW Blues captain Simon Katich heaped praised on his team-mates for their all-round show against the Victoria Bushrangers in the Champions League Twenty20 semi-finals and said their consistent performance will give them the edge in the final.
"It was a great team effort everybody chipped in. David Warner and Phil Hughes set the foundation for us when we batted. Others chipped in lower down the order. After that our bowlers did a fantastic job," Katich said after his side crushed country cousins Victoria Bushrangers by 79 runs.
"We have been consistent with bat and ball. Our bowlers have been fantastic and batsmen have not let the team down. I think we will go into the final with a lot of confidence especially after today`s win," he added.
Asked which side between Trinidad and Tobago or the Cape Cobras he would like to face in the final on Friday, Katich said, "Every side in the tournament is a strong side. We have no preference we just want to carry on the good work into the final."
Katich had special praise for his bowlers and said they were mainly responsible for his side`s progress thus far.
"The bowlers have been fantastic. The new ball bowlers are quick and accurate. They (the bowlers) have been mainly instrumental for us to reach this far," he said.
Victoria captain Cameron White admitted it turned out to be too many runs for his side to chase down at the end.
"Too many runs to chase down on this wicket and we did not have a great start at three wickets for six runs. It was not an ideal start," he said.
White conceded NSW were the better side in batting and bowling.
"Their top order batted well and their bowlers did a good job. The fast bowlers were quick and slow bowlers extracted turn," he said.
He said his side have learnt a lot from the tournament and would try their best next year to have a crack at the title.
"We will go back and would play in Australia to qualify for the tournament again next year. We want to have a crack next year. It is great experience for some of our players who have not played in India before," he added.
Man-of-the match David Warner said all the gameplan NSW chalked out before the match came out good.
"We decided we should hit as straight as possible in this ground and we did that. We also knew that 160 plus would be difficult to chase down here. We were also contemplating the wicket would turn in the second innings and fortunately it did," he said.

So, how does a person carry on painting when they can't see very well or even at all?
For sighted people the question is one of interest and curiosity but for someone who has been a sighted artist and is losing their sight, it is far more important. There is no simple answer - it is different for everybody. Factors which come into play include:
Ian is an artist who was registered blind in1984 but wanted to carry on painting. He here describes how he creates a watercolour from beginning to end.
Ian uses a method of "wet on wet" watercolour painting. To start the painting, he brush-covers the white paper with water.
"I start the painting by applying clean water across the entire painting area using a large hake brush to do it. The water will run down the paper anyway, so we need less on the bottom than we do at the top. I don't want it completely swimming in water but it does need to be fairly well covered.
Ian then adds the yellow of a sunset, using broad stokes with a large brush.
Ian prepares a pencil sketch of the photograph which he also draws upon as a guide to colour. This sketch is propped on a stand vertically behind the desk upon which Ian's painting is placed. Ian uses two types of low vision aids (LVA). One being special spectacles which he uses when working on medium sized details. "They're about times 2 or 3 (magnification), and they focus at a reasonable distance. The problem is that I can't see the rest of the picture, so I've got to keep looking at the picture as a whole and make sure that what I'm doing makes sense compared to the whole picture."
"If I've got a particularly detailed bit I need to check out, my spectacles won't do the job for me and I need to rely on my Keeler aid, which is a times 9. But the disadvantage of this aid is that I have to work very much closer and can only see a very small area." Leaning close to the painting, Ian says: "I've just got room to put my brush between me and the picture and I can only see really an inch / two and a half centimetres across. So it's quite a limitation. But, if I've got to land a window in a building in the right spot or something similar, then these glasses are required."
"At this stage, I find it quite useful - particularly with a very traditional sort of picture - to look at it with a mount." This mount is a single piece of cardboard, with a hole the size of the painting in the centre and borders that are thicker at the top and bottom than the sides. "It helps (you) to see the balance of the picture. It makes it very much clearer as to how things are operating."
"And the final stage, having completed the painting, is to place it in a frame. There is a real reason for doing that, and it is that the glass helps the colour to be very much richer. The darks are darker and the lights are lighter, and the contrast and the definition is that much stronger. Ordinary glass make a huge difference to watercolours, and particularly in terms of the space and the area of the picture disappearing into the background. The frame - and the particularly glass - makes a huge contribution to the success of the painting."
Terry Hopwood-Jackson uses plasticine to create highly textured pictures to which he later applies paint - go to Terry's site to see how creates his paintings.

This is my 2nd stay at a Bed&Breakfast. From our limited experience, we've quickly learned that it takes a special person to be a Bed&Breakfast host or hostess. They're friendly,outgoing,eager to assist and give guidance for the things to do and see in the area. Oh yeah.... the food is also spectacular!
My wife said this has been like a mini-honeymoon for us. The peacefulness,country sounds,etc.... take me back to my childhood days in rural southwest Michigan.
Thanks to all Hideaway Inn Staff for a wonderful stay.

How to Listen to our Streaming Audio Feeds
Most streaming audio links on Krishna.com use the ".m3u" or ".pls" file extension. This is a playlist file format and contains an embedded link to one or more mp3 audio files.
Older versions of Windows Media Player 7 through 10 on the PC, as well as Winamp, iTunes and VLC on either PC or Mac, play ".m3u" or ".pls" files. When you click on on the "listen" link, you may get a download prompt asking you what you want to do with that file, open or save it? In that case, select "Open with..." and choose your music player software.
Newer versions of Windows Media Player 11, 12 and up no longer support .pls or .m3u playlist files. While we continue to search for a workaround for this issue, please use one of the supported streaming audio player softwares such as Winamp, iTunes or VLC.
When Things Don't Work
If you've tried all of the above, and nothing seems to work, try this:
1) Right-click on the live stream link and download it to your desktop.
2) Open the file with notepad or a simple text editor to see the live audio stream URL.
The URL may look similar to this example:
3) Copy the URL and paste it into your audio player's equivalent of "Open URL" menu item, where you can listen to a live Internet audio stream. Sometimes it will say "Stream URL" in the menu choices.
For example, in older versions of Windows Media Player (versions 7 through 10), right-click on the little triangle next to "Now Playing" and then click on "File / Open URL..."
In iTunes, go to "Advanced / Open Stream..."
Still can't get it to work?
Consider installing Winamp, which was made for live audio streaming, or an audio player called VLC. Both work on all platforms including PC, Mac, Linux.
Known Issues
Certain iTunes on Mac release versions don't automatically open ".m3u" files as of this writing. Drag and drop the ".m3u" file icon from your desktop to the iTunes playlist window. Once it's in your playlist, double click the stream the next time you open iTunes and it will start playing the live stream.
