The Color of Justice program brings diverse youth from across the state together for exciting workshops and activities designed to introduce them to the study of law and to encourage them to consider legal and judicial careers. In June 2013, a two-day Color of Justice middle and high school program was held at the University of Alaska Anchorage and the Anchorage courthouse of the Alaska Court system.
"MentorJet: A Speed Mentoring Experience" at UAA |
The first day began with a tour of the UAA campus and an interactive session focusing on the qualities needed to be a lawyer and a judge, and the kind of academic and professional preparation and experience required. Students then participated in "Mentor Jet: A Speed Mentoring Experience," which provided them with opportunities to talk with diverse Alaska lawyers and judges about the steps to a successful and rewarding career in law. Presiding Judge Sen Tan next discussed the top 10 reasons why students would want to be judges. Judge Pamela Washington closed the first day by overseeing an active session of "Constitutional Cranium," a game show testing student's knowledge of Alaska's constitution.

The second day began with Chief Justice Dana Fabe, Judge Beverly Cutler (Ret.), and Judge Jo-Ann Chung introducing students to the Alaska Court system, and distributing judicial robes. Students next heard presentations from Seattle University School of Law Professors Mark Chinen and Stephanie M. Nichols, and University of Washington School of Law Professor Michele Storms on the topics of contracts and access to justice, and then they put their new legal knowledge to work by practicing deciding real cases. Students ended the busy second day by preparing for and participating in mock trials.

Law Day, which is celebrated every year on May 1, is a special day focusing on our nation's heritage of liberty under the rule of law. This national day of celebration was officially designated by joint resolution of Congress in 1961. The national theme of Law Day 2014 is "American Democracy and the Rule of Law: Why Every Vote Matters." Across Alaska, local courts commemorate Law Day in a variety of ways—through visits to schools, community events, or courthouse tours and mock trials. More information about Law Day and this year's Law Day theme may be found at www.lawday.org.

In February 2010, the Alaska Supreme Court launched a new educational outreach program, Supreme Court LIVE, to bring oral arguments in actual pending cases to student audiences at Alaskan high schools. Designed to help students better understand our justice system, this unique learning opportunity debuted at West High School in Anchorage on February 19, 2010, before 400 high school students from across the Anchorage School District.
Justices of the Alaska Supreme Court gather at the close of the February 2012 Supreme Court LIVE program with members of the West High School We the People team who assisted with the event. Members of the court include (back row L-R): Justice Craig Stowers, Chief Justice Dana Fabe, Justice Walter Carpeneti (Ret.), and Justice Daniel Winfree.
The second Supreme Court LIVE program was held at Juneau-Douglas High School on Constitution Day--September 17, 2010—before 600 students from both JDHS and Thunder Mountain High School. The third program was held February 24, 2011, at West High School in Anchorage before 700 students from seven area high schools. The fourth program was held at Lathrop High School's Hering Auditorium in Fairbanks on February 6, 2012 before high school students from across the Fairbanks area. Two days later, on February 8, 2012, the program returned to West High School in Anchorage for a third time. On October 29, 2012, the court traveled to Sitka and held argument at Mount Edgecumbe High School which was attended by students from both Sitka high schools. The court traveled to Barrow to hold argument on October 3, 2013 before the entire student body of Barrow High School. The next event is scheduled for Anchorage on February 21, 2014.
Justices of the Alaska Supreme Court gather at the October 2012 Supreme Court LIVE program at Mount Edgecumbe High School in Sitka. Members of the court include (L-R): Justice Craig Stowers, Justice Walter Carpeneti (Ret.), Chief Justice Dana Fabe, Justice Daniel Winfree, and Justice Peter Maassen. |
Justices of the Alaska Supreme Court gather at the close of the October 2012 Supreme Court LIVE program in Sitka with members of the student ROTC program who served as ushers for the event. Members of the court include (L-R): Justice Craig Stowers, Justice Walter Carpeneti (Ret.), Chief Justice Dana Fabe, Justice Daniel Winfree, and Justice Peter Maassen. |

Members of the court include (L-R): Justice Joel Bolger, Justice Daniel Winfree, Chief Justice Dana Fabe, and Justice Peter Maassen.
Keys to the success of the program are the advance visits to classrooms by volunteer attorney teams. Attorneys provide both an overview of the legal system and appellate process and an in-depth review of the specific cases to be heard. As a result, students come to the arguments prepared and engaged, and leave with a good understanding of the process and the issues at stake.
The Alaska Supreme Court plans to present Supreme Court LIVE in at least one location each year. Participation by students from other communities is also possible through use of the materials below and replay of the arguments on KTOO's statewide Gavel to Gavel program. Interested teachers may also obtain recordings of the arguments to play in their classrooms as described below. Schools, teachers or attorneys interested in learning more about the program are encouraged to contact the Clerk of Appellate Courts, Marilyn May. Thank you.

Fight to Save Kimberley Gears Up as Government Clears Way for Gas Hub
Today The Wilderness Society of Western Australia leaked to the press a copy of the state government's biased and environmentally irresponsible "Strategic Assessment" giving the green light to building a massive new Liquid Natural Gas plant on the unspoiled Kimberley coast. See the article in the West Australian newspaper.
The SA, similar to an Environmental Impact Report in the U.S., appears to ignore that the coastline and adjacent waters are critical for the survival of sea turtles, humpback whales, rare snubfin dolphins and fisheries, not to mention tourism and sacred lands.
Turtle Island Restoration Network is committed to helping Australian activists defeat this debacle by raising international awareness and opposition now! Soon we will be delivering a statement of global concern to the community of Broome at Ground Zero of the Gas Hub Battle from more than two dozen U.S. conservation groups.
Please take the time to read the Citizens Guide to the Strategic Assessment now posted at The Wilderness Society website. Watch for more news and ways to help very soon!

Proof of Concept about Stream Analytics for Churn Prediction for Operators
Churning (or customers leaving a company for the competition) is one of the most pressing problems faced by mobile phone operators, for its direct impact on revenue and market share.
Churn prediction systems attempt to identify subscribers with a sufficiently high probability of leaving in the near future so that, together with their predicted business value, a decision about which actions (if any) to retain them are justified. This problem can be addressed, among other ways with well-established machine learning techniques: using data from the past (such as activity of users in the past and whether and when they later churned), machine learning methods "learn" so-called predictive models which may then be used to assign a churning probability to any given user in the future.
However, the telecommunication market is highly and unpredictably dynamic. Subscribers are able to choose among multiple service providers and actively exercise their rights of switching from one service provider to another. The ability for immediately detecting such a trend on even a small segment of subscribers may be essential to retaining many more leaving in the near future. However, the reasons why subscribers churn may change suddenly. For many (and hard to define a priori) reasons, subscribers that were not considering leaving their company may suddenly consider another company very compelling and decide to leave overnight.
Ericsson Research, in collaboration with UPC Barcelona Tech. led by Prof. Ricard Gavaldà, has developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) about how use Stream Analytics technology for Churn Prediction for telecom operators. The PoC aims at building a real-time, fully adaptive solution for churn detection. It performs continuous and online construction of the predictive models of churning instead of building the models offline and applying them online. Stream mining enables almost real-time identification and adaptation to emerging subscriber-behavior patterns. Compared to other solutions where such patterns are revised offline or periodically, it has the potential to avoid a large number of subscribers leaving as a sudden and unpredictable reaction to e.g. competitor moves, publicity campaigns, billing changes, etc.
Architecture of the proposed platform
The generic architecture for churn prediction based on Stream Analytics technology is presented in Figure 1. The main components are described next:
- The system processes as input a number of streams with various simulated information. For example, a stream of call records, a stream with billing actions by the company and bill payments by the subscribers, etc. All these streams about a particular subscriber are integrated, generating a logically unique (what it is called here) Event. There are events of a number of types, which will include at least a subscriber joining the company, calls and SMSes, complaints, bills emitted and bills paid, tweets by a subscriber, and "churn" events (e.g., a user explicitly has left the company, or for a prepaid user, it has been declared as a churner according to the company's criterion).
- The customer information database contains basic information about our subscribers (age, address, type of contract, etc.) as well as highly dynamic information (e.g. last numbers called, most frequently numbers called).
- The Record Generator receives the stream of Events generated by the integrator and uses it for two purposes. First, it updates the customer information database according to each Event. Second, it generates one or more Records from each Event, also using information from the customer information database. Thus, it creates a stream of Records passed downstream. A Record is a vector of features, the first of which is a subscriber identifier, and the rest contain all the information about that subscriber state that is considered relevant for prediction. For instance "number of calls this week", "average call duration", or "the subscriber defaulted and returned 2 times in the past" may be such features.
- The Record Processor is the heart of the system: it builds, maintains, and applies the prediction models. When a record not indicating churn arrives, it passes the record through the current model and makes a churn prediction for it. The record with its prediction is queued into a PendingPredictions queue. When a record indicating churn arrives, records for that subscriber are searched in the PendingPredictions queue and, if found, passed to the model builder as positive instances of churning. Expired records in PendingPredictions (corresponding to subscribers that did not churn within a specified time) are passed to the model builder as negative instances of churn. All records (describing current states of subscribers) are passed to the clustering method to build subscriber profiles.
- The predicted churners and their current profiles are also passed to the user interface or other parts of the customer management system so that adequate actions can be assessed and taken.
You will be asked to open these slides in the video:
The following video explains all the details and shows how to run the demo.
What the demo shows is how Stream Analytics technology is able to recover the accuracy of the churn prediction model by reacting immediately to changes that may occur in the distribution of the input data (e.g., changes in competition, deficiencies in customer service, etc.). This happens because the predictor is learning from recent experience, and changing the prediction rules to make them accurate again in the new situation.

> This happens because the predictor is learning from recent experience, and changing the prediction rules to make them accurate again in the new situation.
How you guarantee recent experience is the correct one to follow/learn?
Machine learning approaches have their inherent defects in terms of accuracy (especially when the data is not clean).

SRAM Red Aero Link Brake Calipers $351.00
Beauty and efficiency in a lightweight brake
In a sport where the beauty and efficiency of speed is of the essence, it's no simple task to inject any semblance of sex appeal into a device whose entire role is to defuse that speed. The original SRAM Red Brakes were sleek and attractive enough, but there was little to differentiate between Red and Force, besides the marginal weight savings. The goal of SRAM engineers was to create a clearer definition between their gruppos, while still improving on the original Red caliper. The SRAM Red Aero Link Brake Calipers accomplish this by reducing weight and increasing braking power, while still reducing the front brake's aerodynamic profile as much as possible. No small task, but thanks to SRAM's newly introduced AeroLink Arm with its Force Multiplier Link, the SRAM engineers have hit the mark with flying colors.
SRAM first obtained a patent for that AeroLink arm; a tiny pivot joint that hides behind the svelte calipers and multiplies braking power and modulation. This unique innovation allowed SRAM to greatly shrink the caliper's frontal area, as you can see in the greatly simplified cable routing where the triangular, skeletal caliper juncture once was. From the spring adjusters, to the cable clamp, to the caliper's overall face, no detail was overlooked in its potential to reduce drag. This is also apparent in SRAM's redesign of the two-position barrel adjuster, where a grippy, soft touch coating takes on a shark fin profile as it meets the wind.
Longer rides in bad weather tend to take a much quicker toll on brake pads. SRAM accounted for this, making the quick-release lever easier to access, and including a four-position indexed release. This essentially removes the adjustment guesswork when it's time to loosen or tighten your calipers to account for respective pad wear. And yes, even the lever points out of the wind, when fully locked.
As an added bonus, the new SRAM Red Aero Link Brake Calipers are perfect for accommodating the wider tires riders often choose for fondos or brutal cobbled classics, as the pad-to-pad width was also widened to 31 millimeters, creating a maximum tire clearance of 28 millimeters. The brakeset's newly designed aero pad retainers ship with SwissStop Rash Pro pads.

I was skeptical that these would be any better than the brakes I already had but bought them to complete my SRAM Red group.
There are some nice features that put these one step ahead of most brakesets and certainly any produced by SRAM.
1. The brakes are spring centered like a good canti-brake, which means they can't get knocked out of center and always stay centered. (See notes on cables below)
2. They are tiny
3. They have huge stopping power, but not too much.
4.Intimidates the competition because they look fast even if you are not
Notes on setup: The length of cable is super important as the brake is spring centered a too long or short of a cable will cause the brake to push one way or another. I had to start long and trim until the spring centering worked properly and perfectly. This took some time. Also, I couldn't get yokozuna reaction brake cables to work because the cable are too stiff. I wouldn't run yokozuna brake cables on anything anyways if you have the choice.
Price, I dock this one star for the silly high price. Not even the extra engineering on these can explain why they cost as much as three sets of normal calipers (SRAM Rival).

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I installed these a few weeks ago to replace my 2010 SRAM Red calipers on a Focus Izalco. The installation was a breeze as the cable housing length did not have to be latered front or rear. Centering and adjusting them was a breeze. I am running Easton Carbon rims so my goal was to increase stopping power when riding with my hands up on the brake lever hoods. I would say there is at least a 20% improvement over the old SRAM Red with the cam action of the Aero when using the same amount of force. I also noted an overall weight savings of 40 grams for those weight weenies out there. I would recommend these if you are running carbon rims and need a little more braking power.

Day 1
Fethiye is an attractive coastal city known for its beautiful bay and as the site of the ancient city of Telmesos, one of the most important cities of Lycia.
Day 2
From Fethiye we transfer by vehicle to Tuzla Beli, at an altitude of approx. 1440 m. The start of the ride is largely downhill until we reach Kirazli Yayli, a farming area. Our morning ride is approx. 21 km, and we take lunch at the trout farm at Cameli where we will see our meal in its natural environment. After lunch we cycle mostly downhill and flat roads to Gölhisar Lake, altitude approx. 990m. Transfer to Açipayam (approx 50km). Total riding approx 66km.
Day 3
Transfer to the shores of Salda Lake from where we cycle to Caravanserai in Cardak, passing the dam and Kuragöl Lake. We then have the opportunity to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site, Pamukkale - 'Cotton Castle'. People have flocked here to bathe in the hot springs for centuries and benefit from their healing properties. The ancient Greek city of Hieropolis was built here for this purpose. An impressive natural phenomenon, the white outcrop of travertine stands 160m high, with water cascading down the natural terraces of carbonate minerals.
Total riding for the day is approx. 57 km. Overnight hotel.
Day 4
Transfer by vehicle to Bozdag village. This is our longest transfer, and takes approximately 3.5 hours. From here we take a climb of approx. 5 km from where it's downhill to Gölcuk Lake for a lunch of Turkish pancakes (Gozleme) (alt. 1,050m). After lunch we carry on downhill all the way to Tire to meet our transfer to Selcuk. Total riding for the day is approx. 70 km. Overnight hotel.
Day 5
In the morning there is a visit to the famous site of Ephesus (entrance payable locally) - at its zenith in the 2nd Century, it had a population of 300,000 and was dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Her temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world until an arsonist destroyed it. Unfortunately, excavations at the temple have been prevented by the high local water table. The New Testament gives a stirring account of St. Paul's attempt to preach Christianity in the theatre here, which seats around 24,000 people and is situated at the head of a main street of Ephesus, known as the 'Arcadian'. This 550 m long and 11 m wide street of marble was built in about 400 BC, in honour of Emperor Arcadius, with a colonnade of shops on either side. It is possible to organise a guide for this for a small fee. We then have a 35 minute transfer by vehicle to Söke where we start our day's ride. The undulating journey to Lake Bafa is on a generally good asphalt road. There are some uphill stretches which do not exceed 5km. Total riding for the day is approx 60km. Overnight pension.
Day 6
We begin with a transfer (2hrs) to Ula, from where we ride to Koyegiz Lake, the route being mixed up and down hill through shaded pine forests, including our biggest climb of 7km, and lunch in a village house. We finish at Sultaniye and may have time for swimming in the Lake, before boarding the boat with our bikes and heading down the Dalyan River to the town of Dalyan. A final ride takes us the last short distance to our hotel. Total riding for the day is approx. 57 km. Overnight hotel.
Day 7
Dalyan is perhaps best known for its archaeological remains, such as the ancient city of Kaunos and for Iztuzu Beach, an area protected at certain times of year as it is a breeding ground for loggerhead turtles. Today is free for time on the beach, a Turkish bath, taking a boat ride or just relaxing by the pool. Overnight hotel.
Day 8
Transfer to Dalaman, fly to London

Provost Hitch is pleased to announce that Ron Rada has accepted the role of Interim Provost. Ron served as Interim Provost from 2000-2002 and has fulfilled a variety of administrative roles at UW-L. He will begin transition into the role in late May and will continue until December at which time the appointment will be assessed relative to progress on the Chancellor's search. See campus e-mail from Provost's office for additional information.
In This Issue:
UW-L has entered into a three-year contract with Digital Measures to develop and maintain electronic portfolios for faculty and instructional academic staff. The company is designing templates to correspond to UW-L policy and needs. As of May 2007, all departmental annual reports will be electronic and as of Fall 2007 all retention materials will be submitted electronically. In addition, JPC has endorsed converting to electronic portfolios for promotion by Fall 2007. Training sessions for program assistants and faculty will be provided throughout the coming year. A website regarding e-portfolios and FAQs is available.
The idea that UW-L could have more flexibility in providing access by managing its tuition dollars was discussed at the Business and Finance Committee of the Board of Regents. Formal proposals for special access projects like this one will be solicited by System in the summer. Chancellor Hastad's presentation is available here or off the Faculty Senate webpage.
Matt Lewis and Vickie Baer have set up a preliminary website regarding the new academic building which we hope will be enumerated in the next state budget.

Congratulations Colleen
Angela - so cynical. I think it's lovely.
Congratulations, and may you have many years of happiness together!
Congratulations, Colleen - and best wishes for the future together :)
Love is enough: though the world be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.
William Morris (1834-96)
Oh and congrats Colleen !
I'm also a "Why?".
Don't get me wrong, if it makes you feel good and it's truly something you want to do that go for it.
Setting aside the emotional reasons, I have never understood the desire to enter into a generic property agreement written by the State. It is after all a binding agreement.
If you take take a letter out and add two and do that rearrange thing, it spells Strega.

Fried Dill Pickle Coins Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups thin dill pickle slices, drained
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- Ranch salad dressing, optional
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk. Blot pickles with paper towels to remove moisture. Coat pickles with flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture; coat again with flour mixture.
- In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry pickles, about 10 at a time, for 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
Reviews for Fried Dill Pickle Coins(9)
Sort By :
This is a great and simple recipe for fried pickles! My daughter and I have made these a lot. I do think that the coins or "chips" are the best for fried pickles, and getting them dry before battering makes a big difference in the final product. These get gobbled up very quickly!
I halved this recipe and used enough oil in a dutch oven for the pickle slices to be immersed. Also, I read some reviews about the pickles turning out soggy. I drained them, put them in a kitchen towel and squeezed the excess juice out of them and laid them out on a plate to dry for several minutes before coating them and frying. They turned out really crispy! I would definitely make them again!!
We loved these as coins (although it was time consuming). When tried as spears the breading didn't stay on the pickles. I think I'll try them with a coating of bread crumbs next time. Also, they are definitely soggy from the microwave the next day (maybe they'd do better reheated in an oven).
good recipe!!! I would add a bit more seasoning to the batter but everyone who ate them LOVED them!
Yahoo! These are a keeper. Thanks!

Paris Hilton couldn't handle some tough questions from Barbara Walters on "The View" this week -- and threw a tantrum backstage after it was all said and done.
Walters went after Paris for bitching about having to do 200 hours of community service. And Babs scoffed at Paris' claim she wanted to help women by doing charity work. Walters wondered aloud why Paris didn't show any of her charity work on her show: "Why not present that side of yourself, if indeed it exists?"
After the segment, Paris and her dad, Rick, berated producers backstage over the tone of the interview, so says the NY Post. A rep for the show confirmed the incident, but Paris was mum.
Paris had reason to feel blue. The ratings for "The World According to Paris" -- not so hot.
go back to sleep zzzzzzzz or do another line zzzzzzzz oir go away, and take that f irl ab ove you on tmz with you
it makes me laugh when I see those so-called "serious" show business animals making money with celebrities pretending to be "serious" when all they do is to tell BS to people and make money doing that.
Paris (at least) is young and good looking, with money on her own by the way.
GO BABWA!!!!! WooooooHoooooo!!!!!!! I can't stand that rich skank! $$$ don't buy class, dahling!!!
She pulled the same crap on Opie and Anthony. She thinks the only questions should be about the show. I can't believe people still put her on tv. Nobody wants to watch her anymore
I thought Paris was on the right track, since she disappeared for a bit, but, damn, there she is again. She needs to go home and quit harassing our eyeballs with her face.
I hate all of those bitches on the View! They're nothing more than a bunch of cackling old crows. I can't believe that it's still on the air. They make me SICK!
Hmmm..I am no Paris fan but I have never witnessed Miss Walters doing any labor intensive charity work either. She may write a check here and there for a charity but that is about it. She really doesn't have any reason to judge anyone else about their life since I don't think she has always been so perfect herself.
I watched that segment and they asked some specifics questions that related to her last appearance after being in jail. Paris said she in the earlier interview that after being in jail she wanted to do more good including charity work. Barbara asked a legit question: Why not show that part on your show?
Probably Paris would feel so hurt if she just responded: "I prefer these 'reality' shows because I feel they help to keep me relevant, keep some attention on me and I don't have to work, you know, so hard."
Next time Paris, don't go to The View to try to promote anything.
What a spoiled brat. She acted the same way on Opie and Anthony and after 10 minutes walked off the show. She left the studios early when she was supposed to hang around Sirius/XM for a couple more hours.
She got called out on her BS and didn't like it. Paris what they are saying is that 20 some-things whoopin it up in clubs and acting stupid and irresponsible can be funny for a while, but you're 30, get your **** together and start acting your age. At loike you want to be something more than a club rich spoiled club kid

Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Insulin Receptor (Tyr1345) (14A4) Rabbit mAb detects transfected levels of insulin receptor β only when phosphorylated at Tyr1345. The antibody slightly cross-reacts with activated IGF-I receptors and some other activated tyrosine kinases.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr1345 of human insulin receptor β.
Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that is widely expressed in many cell lines and cell types within fetal and postnatal tissues (1-3). Receptor autophosphorylation follows binding of the IGF-I and IGF-II ligands. Three tyrosine residues within the kinase domain (Tyr1131, Tyr1135, and Tyr1136) are the earliest major autophosphorylation sites (4). Phosphorylation of these three tyrosine residues is necessary for kinase activation (5,6). Insulin receptors (IRs) share significant structural and functional similarity with IGF-I receptors, including the presence of an equivalent tyrosine cluster (Tyr1146/1150/1151) within the kinase domain activation loop. Tyrosine autophosphorylation of IRs is one of the earliest cellular responses to insulin stimulation (7). Autophosphorylation begins with phosphorylation at Tyr1146 and either Tyr1150 or Tyr1151, while full kinase activation requires triple tyrosine phosphorylation (8).

Dstat |
Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of the limitations of these programs and adds some extra features.
Dstat allows you to view all of your network resources instantly, you can for example, compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval). Dstat also cleverly gives you the most detailed information in columns and clearly indicates in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed. Dstat is also unique in letting you aggregate block device throughput for a certain diskset or network bandwidth for a group of interfaces, i.e. you can see the throughput for all the block devices that make up a single filesystem or storage system. Dstat's output, in its current form, is not suited for post-processing by other tools, it's mostly meant for humans to interpret real-time data as easy as possible. |

Comments about Clash of the Titans Perseus Shield:
This shield was bought for my 10 year old son for halloween. When the shield arrived we were very disappointed in how cheaply made this product is. My son likes to play with swords and shields throughout the year not just as a halloween costume. This thin plastic shield does not allow for continuos play. This product showed up cracked if that tells you how thin the plastic is. The shield has a fun look that my son wants. For a prop or one time use this product may work if it does not show up broken. Bottom line pick another shield. Perseus would not have won a battle against any gods with this shield.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine that succeeds in combining great depth of flavor and structure with an impressive array of flavors. On top of the tannins is juicy black fruit, cocoa, a welter of spice and ripeness. The acidity and new wood put the wine into a more modern style."
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is another astonishing effort from this small estate. The 2007 is one of the sexiest, most opulent yet powerfully concentrated wines of the vintage. There is not a hard edge to be found in this voluptuously textured, deep St.-Emilion. Abundant aromas and flavors of chocolate, charcoal,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, this wine, which is made under the administration of Hubert de Bouard, tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol. Loads of chalky minerality from limestone soils are obviously present in this wine, which has a dense purple color, a viscous, full-bodied..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fresh melon and green apple notes intermixed with hints of mango and pineapple, zesty acidity and subtle oak all make for a delicious, full-throttle wine.
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
Cellar/Tasting Notes Jam-packed, with mouthfilling notes of blackberry preserves, crushed blueberry, plum skin and anise, showing loads of singed wood spice and briar for a lively texture. Stays supergrippy through the finish and needs a little time to round into form, but the range is serious and the length very..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Straight down the line, this wine shows fruit and acidity. The tannins are relatively soft while the fruit is forward. Blackberries, coffee and licorice notes all come together."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A lush Merlot-Cab blend with a typical St Emilion nose of violet and dark fruit that follows through to a full-bodied palate. Fully mature now and ready to drink and will remain that way for at least half a decade. For its consistently high quality, this Right Bank Bordeaux property was elevated to..
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "This terroir is superbly situated between Beausejour Duffau and Beau-Sejour-Becot, with Angelus within shouting distance. Bellevue has been managed by Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont since 2000, and when St.-Emilion does its next new classification (in 2016), I would not be..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It could be easy, after tasting the monumental 2005, to dismiss the 2006 Troplong Mondot, but don't be so foolish. Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional performance... the 2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly masculine and deep effort...

As a founding principle, the EU bans discrimination based on ethnic origin or nationality. This ban is part of the EU's DNA and its identity as a community of values, as defined by the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Now, with the Lisbon Treaty in force, it has the status of binding primary law. ... The recent treatment of Roma people in France was appalling and cannot go unchallenged. Their rights have been abused for populist, electoral reasons by a government that is fast losing support. ... Scenes like those we have recently witnessed in France must never be repeated.
Last month, French President Nicolas Sarkozy [official website, in French] ordered measures against illegal Roma communities in France and announced legislation [JURIST report] that would make deportation easier. At the time, the French government aimed to dismantle half of illegal Roma camps within three months and to immediately deport all those found to have broken the law. In February, following the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by East European immigrants, Italian authorities began dismantling illegal immigrant camps [JURIST report] around Rome that were heavily populated by members of the Roma minority.

By 2015, the way we travel will change significantly fuelled by innovation in IT – used by airlines, airports and passengers.According to SITA's new Flying into the Future report, over the next three years the industry will see a major transformation in the way passengers buy travel services and use self-service along their journey.
In addition, these journeys will take place in a fully mobile and social environment with airlines and airports intelligently using vast quantities of data to deliver real service and operational improvements.Nigel Pickford, director of market insight for SITA, said: "Information technology has already had a major influence on air travel."And with the number of global travellers expected to double by 2030, it will continue to lead the way for the industry."Our survey analysis shows four major IT trends which will shape the entire travel experience, from how we book flights to how we interact with airlines and airports during the journey, to the kinds of services we expect."
Based on SITA's most recent surveys of airlines, airports and passengers worldwide, the four major trends which will shape the future of global air travel are:1. The way passengers buy travel will changeBy 2015, both airlines and airports expect the web and the mobile phone to be the top two sales channels.Passengers are asking for a more personalised buying experience, and the industry is responding.For example, Alaska Airlines is one of several airlines with a travel app that alerts fliers to airfare deals from their hometowns and to cities where their friends live.2. Passengers will take more controlBy 2015, 90% of airlines will offer mobile check-in – up from 50% today.Passengers will use 2D boarding passes or contactless technology such as Near Field Communications (NFC) on their phones, at different stages of their journey, such as at boarding gates, fast-track security zones and to access premium passenger lounges.Japan Airline's Touch & Go Android is one example of an app, which will allow passengers to pass through boarding gates using their NFC-enabled phones.France's Toulouse-Blagnac Airport is piloting a similar service.3. Customer services will become more mobile and socialBy 2015, nine out of ten airlines and airports will provide flight updates using smart phone apps. The industry is also exploring apps to improve the customer experience. At Japan's Narita Airport, roaming service employees personalize the customer experience by using iPads to provide airport, flight and hotel information to passengers. In addition, Edinburgh Airport is one of several airports with apps that help passengers plan their journeys to and from the airport, track their flights, access terminal maps and reserve parking spots before they arrive.4. The passenger experience will improve thanks to better business intelligenceBy 2015, more than 80% of airports and airlines will invest in business intelligence (BI) solutions.Most will focus on improving customer service and satisfaction, often through personalized services.For example, one European airline, Vueling, researches customers via social media in an effort to understand them better.It then integrates this information into their BI programs to improve loyalty.Pickford added: "Passenger needs and preferences are changing. Today's passengers want more control throughout their journey."They expect transformation in both the kinds of services airlines and airports offer, and the way they communicate with them."At the same time, the industry is investing in business intelligence solutions and collaborating more to increase operational efficiency and improve customer service and loyalty."Source & Photos: airportworld, Steven Thompson

Planting the seeds of knowledge
As Lincoln Elementary School students get ready to plant sunflower seeds, Erin Barkey quizzes them on what it takes to make plants grow. She brought an interactive exhibit called "Seed Survivor" to the school earlier this month. The mobile classroom features multi-media and virtual reality games, an insect video scope, a sunflower seed planting station, a watershed center, talking walls and more. Seed Survivor was designed to teach youth that plants need water, light, healthy soil and nutrients to survive. It also teaches them that plants are essential for human survival by producing food, income, oxygen and enjoyment for us all. The exhibit is an educational outreach from Agrium Fertilizer.

THE EVERYBODYFIELDS. "Nothing is OK." Ramseur Records.
Usually, when the phrase "more of the same" rears its ugly, redundant head, the concern is that an artist has somehow fallen prey to a routine of bad habits. When said about the latest release by heartbreaking country-folk artists, the Everybodyfields, however, it's a compliment of the highest degree.
That's not to say the duo, formerly trio, from Johnson City haven't changed anything with "Nothing is OK," there third release. After two albums on their own "label," Captain Mexico -- 2004's "halfway there: electricity and the South" and 2005's "Plague of Dreams" -- they've signed with Ramseur Records, with which they released "Nothing."
Add on a shift away from the pure acoustics of "Plague" and "halfway," top it off with the loss of dobro player David Richey in 2006, and you've got the makings of a rather abrupt musical worldshift. Against all odds and the fears of their fanbase, however, Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn have kept the spirit of their music, their haunting, mournful harmonies and tragic writing, fully intact.
Fans need only peruse the lyrics to see that the newest offerings like "Don't tern around" ("I have sharpened this blood until it's screaming it's just the pain, the only one that still remains") or "Savior" ("Love's not a Savior when you're messed up, you'll be messed up forever") to see this is the same familiar everybodyfields they've known and loved.
What's changed has also built a stronger framework for the lyrics to twine around. With added instrumental oomph from violinist Megan Gregory, Megan McCormick (lap steel, guitar, vocals), Josh Oliver (keys) and Travis Kammeyer, the 12 tracks no longer chip at the door to your heart like earlier offerings, they barrel in like a S.W.A.T. team.
Quinn and Andrews may be taking the band in a new direction, but they're dropping enough bread crumbs for fans to follow without losing their soul in the process. When it goes on sale Aug. 21, grab this one and prepare to wade through the everybodyfields' familiar soundscapes.

Juliana Pilon reviews "The State of the Jews: A Critical Appraisal"
Juliana Geran Pilon, Director of IWP's Center for Culture and Security and Professor of Politics and Culture, recently reviewed The State of the Jews: A Critical Appraisal by Edward Alexander (New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 2012), 248 pages. The review will appear in the Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs VII:1 (2013).

The State of the Jews: A Critical Appraisal
by Edward Alexander
(New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 2012), 248 pages
Reviewed by Juliana Geran Pilon
Director, Center for Culture and Security,
The Institute of World Politics, Washington, DC
The intentionally ambiguous title of Edward Alexander's important new book, The State of the Jews, refers at once to Israel and the condition of the Jews, focusing on the connection between the two. It represents both a tribute and a sequel to the similarly named 1980 book by Marie Syrkin, who belonged to the group that her biographer Carole Kessner has called "the 'other' New York Jewish intellectuals." She and a few (too few) others followed closely what was happening to their brethren in Europe and understood both the imminence and the enormity of the danger. Her friend and colleague Hayim Greenberg, her co-editor at the Labor Zionist monthly Jewish Frontier, had exposed as early as 1942 Hitler's plans to annihilate the Jews, calling for action "to prevent the fulfillment of the horror that broods over the blood-engulfed continent of Europe." The call, of course, was not heeded even by the United States.
But where were the-allegedly all-powerful-American Jews? In February 1943, Greenberg denounced American Jewry in an article published in the same journal for failing to unite, and calling it "politically and morally bankrupt." The famous New York Jewish intellectuals who spent the 1940s averting their eyes from the destruction of their relatives in the Old Country compounded that moral failure by ignoring the rise of Israel. In the words of Ruth Wisse, far from helping it to emerge, "only decades later did some of them suddenly discover the Jewish state." A few, such as Irving Howe, Lionel Trilling, and Saul Bellow, at least said they felt ashamed of having been "alienated" from their own Jewishness while Europe burned. Too many, if not most, said nothing.
But it gets worse. Here Alexander, professor emeritus of English at the University of Washington in Seattle and the author of many excellent books including The Jewish Idea and Its Enemies and The Holocaust and the War of Ideas continues where Syrkin left off. He singles out for particular scorn Tony Judt, Noam Chomsky, and Jacqueline Rose, among others, and accuses them of having turned the "alienation" that had shamed their left-leaning predecessors into a veritable badge of honor. "The Jewish 'identity' of these deep thinkers," Alexander remarks sarcastically, "rests almost entirely upon their repudiation of the Jewish state."
Without meaning to minimize in any way the role of non-Jews in the ideological campaign against Israel, Alexander's book focuses primarily on the liberal-left tradition. Starting with the curious blend of philosemitism and antisemitism among Victorian liberals such as Thomas Arnold and his son Matthew, John Stuart Mill, and the novelist George Eliot, he turns the spotlight on a few interesting historical cases.
The infamous British ambivalence toward the Jews, most ignominiously demonstrated by the criminally clumsy partition of Palestine, is no surprise, considering its record: England was the last European country to receive and the first to expel the Jews (in 1290). Yet, citing the "magisterial, judicious, and comprehensive" book by Anthony Julius, Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Antisemitism in England (clearly another must-read), Alexander reserves his greatest contempt for English Jews, who, a full decade before World War I, had been "denying to their coreligionists advantages that they themselves enjoyed for fear that the advantages would be lost if too many arrived to claim them." Even as late as 1928, eleven years after the Balfour Declaration and six after Britain was awarded the Mandate for Palestine, English Jews were "the most implacable enemies of Zionism." Julius argues that the new antisemitism "is to be distinguished from the 'old antisemitism' because it takes Israel and the Zionist project as its collective term for the Jews, because its geographic hub is Western Europe, because self-identified Jews are among its advocates, and because it comes from the Left-indeed has become part of the common sense among people of a broadly progressive temper." If this sounds familiar to American readers, it should be: "In several respects England's Jewish anti-Zionists resemble America's."
America, however, is certainly Alexander's primary focus. In the chapter entitled "Hitler's American Professors," we learn that Harvard president James Conant had invited and even warmly welcomed Ernst "Putzi" Hanfstaengl, an early Nazi activist and close friend of Hitler's, for a chummy class reunion in 1934. Nor was this an anomaly at that venerable liberal institution at the time: Harvard professor John Walz regularly spoke at Nazi rallies in Boston. Fellow Ivy Leaguer Dr. Virginia Gildersleeve, Dean of Barnard College during the 1930s, waged a decade-long campaign against the "Zionist control of the media" and politicians who, out of "fear of the 'Jewish vote,'" allegedly "bullied" Arabs into letting "alien foreigners" into Palestine-anticipating by more than half a century the likes of Stephen Walt and Jon Mearsheimer. (The admission of these two hacks to the faculty of the University of Chicago sadly exposes the intellectual bankruptcy of that once-great institution.)
The Walt-Mearsheimer variation on the centuries-old antisemitic conspiracy theory, propagated with the most astonishing effectiveness by the preposterous nineteenth-century forgery Protocols of the Elders of Zion, finds resonance among a whole slew of Israel-hating intellectuals today, who, paradoxically, and pathologically, express their "Jewishness" through virulent anti-Zionism. A particularly noxious example is a young Canadian activist, Jennifer Peto, whose master's thesis is peppered with the usual litany of invectives against "Jewish privilege," "Jewish racism," and the "apartheid" state of Israel, citing nothing but pseudo-scholarly materials, the fraudulent content of which was exposed decades ago. What distinguishes Peto-and a hardly negligible number of others-from other self-hating Jews is the invocation of a grandparent killed in a Nazi concentration camp as a kindred spirit, who purportedly would have agreed with her preposterous behavior and beliefs. Yet, there is evidence that the precise opposite would be expected and simple decency would suggest that such presumption is sacrilegious in the extreme.
This begs the question: What drives anyone to hate his own ethnic group as a means of self-definition? Sigmund Freud eventually concluded that the "libido" did not provide a sufficient explanation of human behavior; it had to be supplemented by what he called the "death wish." But suggesting that such a "drive" is the answer is about as explanatory as ascribing melancholy to an excess of bile. Tautology aside, a plausible empirical exploration is history and the requirements of survival. Alexander commends Ruth Wisse's short but incisive study, Jews and Power, which appeared in 2007.
She charges from the outset that the so-called "Jewish problem" is really the problem of nations that must blame their dysfunction on Jews, who provide a convenient scapegoat. For one thing, they tend to be powerless-the result of a pragmatic decision, made centuries ago, to engage in the "politics of complementarity" that allowed them to coexist as minorities among strangers, renouncing any pretensions to power in exchange for toleration. But "the longer Jews remained in exile, the more they acquired the reputation of being easy prey." Though powerlessness is not the default mode implicit in the Biblical narrative that has guided Jews throughout their enforced global dispersion, so many centuries of submission may have taken their toll on self-respect. Though neither Wisse nor Alexander mentions it, it may be that as a result, some Jews have turned upon themselves and the young state of Israel.
Such speculations, however, are beyond the scope of Alexander's book-or indeed any other. There is no way to explain, let alone justify, anyone's unwillingness to face facts. But in the end, facts will impress their logic not only upon those who defy them but on those who stay silent as they watch, hoping the avalanche will pass them by.

In short: Its always the race I look forward to. Brilliant marshalls. A great club and a lovely village to re-fuel in afterwards.Date of review: November 25, 2012
In full: Is there a better organised 10k around these parts? Can't think of one. Organisation smoother than a Des Lynham link. Flatish course and superb marshalls. Also the fun run is really nicely done (my 5 year old nearly broke 10mins and feels like a proper runner with his medal :-)) Thanks to Eynsham Road Runners for making one of the best 10k's I've done just a 10 minute walk from home. See you next year when I WILL break 48 minutes.Date of review: November 28, 2011
In short: Fantastic experienceIn full: That was really good. The number of marshalls was outstanding. I was proper nervous about my first marathon but it went really well. Lots of crowd support in the villages but very little in Abingdon itself which was a shame. I felt like a proper runner doing the last 300m on the track and just managed to beat 4 hours. Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT! Thanks so much to the organisersDate of review: October 18, 2010
In short: Jolly goodIn full: Once again a slickly run and organised renewal of Cartertons 10K. The Lady Mayor again gave up her time to present the medals..top girl. A nice friendly atmosphere and the organisers managed to find possibly the only bit of nice scenery in the whole of the town to run around (7 to 8K). I think this is a top race and i will always try to do it, but isn't Carterton dull? Cotswolds my ....P.S. The Bananas were a bit under ripe. I love a banana me.Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: As always, very well organised. Really nice people in Eynsham. It always helps to have a chance of beating your PB and I'm pleased to say, that was my best time for 10 years. Get in!Date of review: November 29, 2009
In full: It is just one of the best places in the country to run around. If you can ignore the hills, get your head up and take in the scenery it is a special place. This might seem churlish but I think a memento of some sort would be good. It's nice that the money goes to charity but a keep sake is always welcome. It's a small niggle and the cost of the race is certainly much less than other Blenheim runs but... But running doesn't get much more scenic than this!Date of review: October 25, 2009
In short: What a lovely part of the world to run around. Hilly but scenic. Nicely organised. A must do.Date of review: October 18, 2009
In short: A good, well organised start to the year.In full: Nice to have such a good start point. Changing/toilets really good as you would expect from a Leisure Centre. Carterton is one of the world's blandest towns so it was never gonna be high on scenery, but it was well marshalled, nice t-shirt, medal and banana. All very smooth and well organised, I just don't think I'd travel a long distance to do it. Big up to the Lady Mayor for handing out the medals.Date of review: March 30, 2009
In short: Great organisation. Lovely courseIn full: Hats off to the organisers. Update on web site put aside any fears of a cancellation. Lots of marshalls and a decent HQ. Splendid flat course. A great race for a first timerDate of review: April 6, 2008
In short: Just a really good place to runIn full: Spoilt slightly by the idiot in the 206. We really should report the t***er for dangerous driving.Date of review: October 14, 2007
