Mississippi State named top recycling institution
Officials from the Mississippi Recycling Coalition were at Mississippi State Tuesday [Jan. 14] to present the university with the "Educational Institution Recycler of the Year" award.
The organization recently named its 2013 Environmental Award winners, honoring cities, institutions and organizations statewide for outstanding recycling projects.
Jeremiah Dumas, MSU associate director of the Office of Sustainability, said recycling and sustainability efforts on campus are the product of extensive research and trials over the past three years. Upon discovering that more than 90 percent of waste in offices on campus was comprised of recyclable materials, initiatives were set in motion to establish the campus-wide program.
Led by the Office of Sustainability and the Campus Sustainability Committee, the program collects paper, cardboard, plastics, metals and aluminum in buildings throughout campus. Drives to recycle toner cartridges, used oil, batteries and electronics also are in place.
Dumas said offices produce the biggest bulk of recycling materials, so trash cans in offices throughout campus were converted to single-stream recycling receptacles.
Mark Williams, who works with solid waste policy planning and grants with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and also serves as an advisor to the board of directors for the Mississippi Recycling Coalition, said that every community throughout the state must have a waste reduction strategy, and every state agency and college campus is required to have a recycling program.
"Mississippi State's program is the kind of model we want to replicate throughout the state," Williams said, adding that not only does the recycling program divert reusable materials from landfills, but also creates jobs.
Sarah Kountouris, executive director for Keep Mississippi Beautiful and president of the board of directors for the Mississippi Recycling Coalition, said MSU has set a standard for other universities and community colleges to follow. She thanked custodial and landscape staff on hand for their work in bringing the program to life.
"They're the ones who make this program work," Kountouris said.
The university collected 306,628 pounds of recyclables over a nine-month period in the 2011 fiscal year. In the following fiscal year, the collection grew to 613,672 pounds, nearly 51,139 pounds per month. Additionally, Dumas said researchers are continually evaluating the effectiveness of the programs and waste reduction practices on campus.

University implements lighting control project
Mississippi State University is adding another component to its sustainable campus initiative.
MSU has partnered with SmartWatt Energy to implement a large-scale energy efficient lighting and lighting control project, commonly referred to as SmartLighting.
The project will remove more than 14,000 outdated T-12 and HID lamps throughout the campus and replace them with high-efficiency lighting and lighting controls technologies, which will allow the lighting to be automatically turned off when not in use.
MSU's goals are to improve interior lighting quality, while reducing energy consumption across facilities. The project will decrease air pollution and environmental damage, and will have the same effect on the environment as planting 866 acres of trees or removing 558 cars from the road each year.
SmartWatt provided an investment-grade lighting audit of campus facilities to prioritize the project rollout. The campus will upgrade up to eight total buildings, which account for approximately one million square feet of space.
Average annual energy savings are anticipated to be nearly $400,000, with annual maintenance savings projected to be more than $80,000. The entire $3.5-million phase one project is self-funded and financed by the university through costs savings achieved from the improvements.
For more information about SmartWatt, visit www.smartwattinc.com.

MSU receives national recognition for improved energy efficiency
STARKVILLE, Miss.--Mississippi State is being honored by a national publication for its facility maintenance decisions resulting in more than $20 million in savings over seven years from decreased energy consumption.
In the just-published August edition, Facility Maintenance Decisions magazine announced winners of its annual Facility Maintenance Decisions Achievement Awards. The university is among eight public and private organizations receiving top honors in the 2013 competition.
In the competition's renovations and retrofit category, MSU shares honors with the Florida-based Orlando Health hospital network.
This year's award winners will be recognized officially Sept. 18 during the National Facilities Management and Technology Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, Nev.
J.D. Hardy, associate director of utilities in MSU's campus services organization, said the land-grant institution is being recognized for its major sustainability and energy efficiency efforts.
"Our department has been focused on energy efficiency for a number of years," he said. "In 2006, the university administration responded to spiking energy bills by commissioning an energy committee with the task of more efficient resource utilization."
Hardy said Campus Services staff members "led the way by identifying a broad array of facility upgrades and retrofits aimed at improving energy efficiency, performance and reliability, while at the same time lowering ongoing operational costs."
"This reduction in energy intensity accounts for more than $23 million in avoided utility expenses," he noted, adding that the focus on efficiency has resulted in a 48 percent drop in energy consumption per student, even as enrollment has grown by thousands.
Putting it another way, Hardy said the MSU Energy Management Program has yielded "a 37 percent drop in energy consumption per square foot" on the Starkville campus over the past seven years.
In keeping with Mississippi State President Mark E. Keenum's 2009 Climate Commitment, Campus Services additionally developed a climate action plan that has been adopted as part of the university's overall strategic plan.
"The climate action plan establishes a road map that will lead MSU to carbon neutrality by 2042," Hardy said. "This road will not be easy, but the upcoming campus lighting and control upgrade, campus sustainability programs and central ice storage plant installation are just the next steps in a long-term goal to be the model of ultra-efficiency."
Formally known as Maintenance Solutions, the Wisconsin-based magazine that presents the achievement awards is the only U.S. publication written exclusively for professional engineering and maintenance managers at commercial and institutional facilities.
Other 2013 winners among institutions of higher learning are Stony Brook (N.Y.) University, University of Michigan and University of Pittsburg (Pa.) Medical Center. A complete list of winners may be viewed via the "Awards" icon at www.facebook.com/FMDmag.
"We had a record number of votes this year," said David Lubach, the magazine's associate editor. "This signals the fact that recognition is valued and important for maintenance and engineering departments."

MSU sends personnel, equipment to aid USM
Mississippi State University Campus Operations and MSU Extension Service personnel prepare to depart Monday for the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg to assist in clean-up of the campus. USM's campus took a direct hit during a series of tornadoes across south Mississippi on Sunday, February 10.
Responding to a request for assistance from the University of Southern Mississippi, Mississippi State University sent MSU personnel and equipment to help in the clean-up of the USM campus after the Hattiesburg school took a direct hit from tornadoes that ravaged South Mississippi on Sunday [Feb. 10] afternoon. MSU Extension Service personnel have also been deployed.
After discussions with USM interim president Aubrey Lucas and Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds, MSU President Mark E. Keenum said 11 MSU Campus Operations personnel and two MSU staffers skilled in damage assessment departed the MSU Starkville campus shortly before 3 p.m. Keenum said the MSU personnel were equipped with chain saws, generators, a portable light tower, a truck and trailer, and fuel and maintenance supplies necessary to be "self-sufficient."
After the widespread storms of April 27, 2011 leveled the town of Smithville and caused extensive damage in Chickasaw and Webster counties, MSU Extension personnel responded. MSU also provided assistance on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in the wake of that same series of storms.

MSU surpasses sustainability goals early, continues green initiatives
STARKVILLE, Miss.--Upgrading infrastructure and making operations more efficient are two key changes that have allowed Mississippi State University to reduce its energy consumption by 37 percent.
MSU's Sustainability Committee remains committed to continuing and growing that trend across campus, said J.D. Hardy, MSU energy and mechanical engineer for the committee.
Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning created the Energy Task Force in 2006 and set a goal, by 2016, for Mississippi universities to reduce their energy consumption by 30 percent per square foot. Hardy said MSU is already years ahead of schedule, thanks to the university-wide focus on incorporating infrastructure upgrades and encouraging more efficient building operation.
"For example, if you take a building that didn't have a very good means of controlling the energy consuming equipment -- like air conditioning systems or boiler systems -- and then install modern controls that allow an operator to 'program' a schedule for the operation of that equipment, it quickly reduces the energy consumption of the facility," Hardy said.
Continued renovations across campus also have played a big role in lowering campus energy consumption at MSU, he said. By replacing older water boilers and chillers with more efficient ones, the university is developing effective strategies for long-term savings. Additionally, new facilities at MSU are designed and constructed with the most efficient building systems available.
"We have very talented folks on campus who know how to add the right controls equipment and then operate buildings on a very efficient schedule," Hardy said.
In fiscal year 2006, campus electric and natural gas consumption totaled 162,000 British thermal units per square foot, he said, but the sustainability committee and its resource-efficiency plan has decreased MSU's Energy Usage Index to its current level: 102,000 Btu in 2012.
"If we had continued to use energy at the fiscal year 2006 levels from 2007 to 2012, we would have spent over $21 million more on electricity and natural gas, due to the higher rate of consumption," Hardy said. "Considering that campus grows in square footage every year and energy rates go up every year, it is increasingly important that we lower our Energy Usage Index as much as possible every year."
As university leaders look to future sustainability initiatives, consumption-reduction efforts will focus more on education through ECO PAW, a campus wide energy education and assessment program, said Jeremiah Dumas, director of the Office of Sustainability and vice president of the sustainability committee.
"With 5,000 faculty and staff and over 20,000 students, it is imperative that we educate all the people of this campus so that they can help us reach our goals with every decision that they make," he said. "This includes operations and daily decisions in their offices, their procurement guidelines and standards, as well as their travel and transit behaviors."
Hardy agreed and said the real challenge lies in changing people's habits, and correspondingly, that kind of change could make the greatest impact on reducing consumption across campus.
"The savings that can come from encouraging people to make the best energy decisions can easily have more impact at a much lower price tag than any type of equipment upgrade," he said. "If everyone turned their office equipment and lights off when they weren't using them, and if everyone raised the cooling set-point or lowered the heating set-point a couple of degrees, I imagine I would be getting a call from the power company wondering what was going on at MSU."
Along with continuing system upgrades, other continuing energy consumption-reduction initiatives include upgrading obsolete and inefficient lighting systems with longer lasting and more energy efficient systems and developing an "Ice Storage Plant" to produce ice at night during summer months to use to meet the campus's chilled water needs during the day, Hardy said.
"The administration has allowed facilities to spend money on upgrades with the understanding that it is a business decision with a very attractive return-on-investment," he said. "By funding these upgrades and by letting our MSU folks execute energy upgrade projects, we have leveraged our in-house resources to improve our facilities at the best possible value."
Hardy said, administrative support, as well as continued promotion of sustainability initiatives across campus, will allow MSU to continue its mission of reducing energy consumption.

Our People Profile: George Davis
After spending 30 years of his career working for Mississippi State's physical plant, George Davis said he grew up at the Cooley Building. Now Davis is widely considered one of the most dependable and knowledgeable behind-the-scenes experts in keeping campus rolling.
Davis, associate director of facilities management, oversees custodial services, the auto shop, building maintenance, carpentry construction, work management, locksmithing, faculty housing and heavy equipment on campus. Facilities on a 4,100 acre campus with more than 106 buildings maintained through education and general funds require 24/7 attention, but Davis said a large team of dedicated and skilled staff members get the job done.
Custodial staff members begin shifts at 4 a.m. to ensure offices and classrooms are tidy every day. Still other shifts work late, and the whole team pitches in for additional needs, such as during football weekends.
"These are things that just happen and nobody realizes who does it," Davis said. He explained that his department is responsible for everything from clean restrooms to grading gravel parking lots to sidewalk and parking lot construction. They routinely test every generator on campus to make sure the university is well prepared for unexpected situations that can impact campus operations.
Davis said he and his staff also are responsible for building maintenance of all kinds, including management of construction and renovation projects. "We maintain 21 miles of paved streets, 68 parking lots and 15 miles of sidewalks," Davis said. They also change approximately 13,000 light bulbs each year.
Davis said all of these duties are important because the facilities management services help students, faculty and staff have an environment that is conducive to working in support of MSU's mission. Something as simple as changing out lights also helps the university become more energy efficient, thereby saving money as well, he noted.
"It's not a glamorous job, but it's a job I've always enjoyed," Davis said. "Some days it seems like everyone calls for everything," he joked.
"It's never the same. Every day I come to work, it's something different, and I like that. I like fast-paced work, and I like working with a lot of people," he said. Davis added that for someone who dislikes heights, painting the MSU logo on the west side of Davis-Wade Stadium was one of his most memorable jobs.
At the end of the day — which is usually a good bit more than 8 hours for Davis — he enjoys a personal passion for woodworking. He built his first project at age 14 and hasn't stopped since. He recently built a house for himself and his wife of 27 years, Becki Davis. The couple is proud to have seen their first child, Kirby, graduate from MSU last year. Their second daughter, Morgan, is a sophomore at MSU now, and their son James is a junior in high school.

The Mississippi State University single-stream recycling program has now been in place for over a year. This program fundamentally changed the way that we collect recycling and waste on the campus and we are still evaluating and reviewing our procedures in order to see how effective this program is and how we can make it more efficient at reducing our waste stream into our local landfill. In addition to monitoring the current system, a few changes have happened related to the contractor and their ability to collect material.
The single stream program was developed around the capabilities of the contractor who was awarded the contract. Blubox was the selected contractor because of their ability to collect and sort all cardboards, papers, plastics, metals, and glass. During the course of the last year, Blubox was purchased by Mississippi Industrial Waste Management (MIWD) and just a few months ago, MIWD was purchased by Waste Pro. Waste Pro is now the recycling and waste contractor for the campus and the only change resulting from this change is that Waste Pro does not collect glass; therefore we cannot collect that as part of our recycling stream.
The materials that we can now collect as part of our single-stream recycling program are as follows:
All Paper
All Plastic
Metals and Aluminum
Thanks for your effort and support with this program and if you have specific questions, please email Jeremiah Dumas at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our People: Effie Hopkins
Passengers on the blue route of Mississippi State University's shuttle system have more than a driver at the wheel--they have an angel in disguise.
For years, that's how students have described "Miss Annie," a woman who remembers the names of nearly all of her regular passengers and cares for them like her own family.
A self-described "granny for those away from home," Effie Hopkins' selfless actions and caring nature have become legendary for the more than seven years she has driven a shuttle at the university.
Students send her flowers and cards thanking her for being so kind to them, often years after they have graduated. Miss Annie keeps a thick folder of them, reminding her of how much her "family" loves her.
"I'm having a great day; what about you?" Hopkins says as she greets students getting on her shuttle.
Students gush about how much better she has made them feel on bad days, how she helps them put problems in perspective and find a better attitude.
Ravi "Raj" Sadasivuni, a graduate student in geosciences, said during the years he has known Hopkins, she has inspired him when he's stressed.
"She helps everyone," said Sadasivuni, who works at the High Performance Computing Collaboratory. "She knows how to inspire everyone."
Ask nearly anyone riding her shuttle route and they respond with glowing praise for her. Some students intentionally park so they can visit with her during the shuttle experience.
"I could drive straight to class," said Tiffany Bridges, a senior marketing major from Yazoo City. "But I chose to ride with her because she makes my day better."
Hopkins remembers the names of regular riders and asks about things they discussed during previous rides. She even helped a group of German graduate students visiting campus find a laundry and particular shops to buy gifts.
"You want to be a welcoming committee to them because you have to remember they've left their family behind in this new environment," she said.
But Hopkins doesn't stop helping students when her shift ends each day. She regularly uses her personal vehicle, an old Chevy Blazer, to take them to the grocery store and other places when they can't find other means of transportation.
"She could be at home, but she gives rides to people who need to go and buy basic necessities," Sadasivuni said.
When Hopkins' church learned about her giving rides to students in need, the congregation began helping pay for gasoline. She even carries business cards with her contact information that say "Being a helper of one another."
"I said I wanted to be out here to make a difference in the students' lives," she said. "So far, I think I've held up my end of the bargain."
"I've always found people interesting," she said. "I'm a people watcher."

Our People: Bart Prather
When MSU athletes take to the field on game day, whether it is baseball, football, soccer, or softball, it would be nearly impossible without the diligent work of Bart Prather and his staff. He's not a coach, trainer or manager, but his contributions, arguably, are of near-equal importance.
As superintendent of sports turf, Prather is responsible for ensuring that playing surfaces are safe for student-athletes to practice and play on and that they meet NCAA guidelines for all striping, painting and dimensions. He and his staff are diligent in making sure the playing surfaces are free of low spots, high spots, holes, and trip hazards that could easily turn a first-round draft pick into a former student-athlete.
Prather returned to State 10 years ago and says a love of athletics makes what he does seem less like a job and more like an endless sports season.
"I couldn't do this if I didn't love athletics," Prather said. "Being able to do it for the university I grew up coming to as a kid makes it that much more rewarding."

Our People: J.D. Hardy
When J.D. Hardy came to Mississippi State in 2008 as energy/mechanical engineer in Facilities Management, he says he walked into to a great situation from an energy conservation standpoint.
Hardy serves as the energy monitor for MSU and, in addition to developing reports on consumption for the energy committee, he is part of a team that develops projects to help improve campus systems and make them more efficient.
He says that a large part of conservation is efficient use of resources and developing sustainable practices and, because the university has been so proactive, he and the energy team have been able to continue a downward trend in energy use for several years.
"We are constantly looking to the future for new ways to be more efficient," Hardy says. "Our goal is to continue to conserve energy without sacrificing the academic and research goals of Mississippi State by being more efficient and sustainable in ou r practices. I am very proud of our performance and our reputation as an energy-conscious university."

Our People: Everett Kennard
Having the best job in the world is a daily reality for Everett Kennard. Often far from home, but never far from friends, he drives the immaculate MSU buses on trips all over the country. Just call him, he may answer from anywhere, but if he doesn't, his voice greeting will tell you he "could be in Washington state under an apple tree or I could be in Florida on the beach, all for Mississippi State, of course." The tone of his voice will let you know for sure he's loving every minute of it.
Kennard, manager of transportation services, has been blazing the highways for 28 years, carrying Bulldog athletes, administrators, faculty, staff, and students of all kinds.
"I've got the greatest job in America. It's a dream job that a lot of people would want. I work with the greatest people, and I work for the greatest people. And I've got the easiest product in America that sells itself, and that's Mississippi State," Kennard said.
"I don't feel old until I haul children of those who I hauled in the earlier days," he said. He explained that freshman baseball player C.T. Bradford is the son of Mike Bradford, who was on the baseball team in 1983. Kennard's memory is like a rolodex of MSU alumni.
Of course, Kennard has been to many memorable events on behalf of the university, including trips to the College World Series, Final Four, SEC Championship, and many bowl games. He said about 59 percent of transportation is related to athletics, but many travels are academic field trips.
Spending about 200 days a year on the road, Kennard is a restaurant and hotel expert. He's never tired of the highway, but still delights in it. "I thank God that he put me in this position, and I really feel sorry for anyone who doesn't enjoy their work like I do," Kennard said.

Our People: Jimmy Rice
For campus landscape supervisor Jimmy Rice, the reward of working with Mississippi State's lush grass and other natural scenery is the satisfaction of seeing a job well done.
"It's just really good when you do your job, and it looks good. People come by and compliment it, and it makes you feel good," Rice said.
The veteran master crew member has more than 28 years of experience carefully managing and maintaining— even manicuring, one might say— the acres of pure green grass that canvas the university from one end to the other like a natural soft carpet.
Rice said he's seen a lot of changes to MSU's landscape during his career. The current landscape calls for a host of bedding plants, giving variety for every season and for every perspective of campus. Irrigation, equipment, and a host of other tools, such as fertilizers, are all part of a methodical effort to get the just-right results that mark the MSU environment. Rice manages a cycle of work to ensure that the north half of campus is mowed and otherwise properly maintained year-round. But he will be the first to point out a larger group effort among a team of dedicated employees.
"You've got to have guys that really take pride in their work to make a campus look as good as this one. We have guys that really take pride in what they do," Rice said.
Rice says he puts some of his professional knowledge to use in his own yard. A family man, Rice has been married to Starkville native Shavell Rice for 29 years, and they are parents of five children. He also happens to be an older brother to retired NFL star Jerry Rice. He says his career has allowed him the right balance of time between work, family, and his other career— which he describes as more of a calling. He pastors Fourth Street M.B. Church in Columbus.
Rice said the nature of landscape work allows him to multi-task in some ways. "I can be doing my job and meditating at the same time, reflecting on what I've already read," Rice said. "That's when I do my best work really."

Rajnikanth vs. Kamal Haasan
Kamal's ascent to success was destined. From child actor to handsome hero, the transition was just a matter of time. He was lucky to work with legends of the day, and he being a talent powerhouse, brought an extra dimension to every role he did. Rajni slogged to bag his role, and perhaps what stood out for him, was the fact that he was the epitome of everything that is not hero material. For Kamal's do-good hero, there was this perfect foil now in the industry, the do-no-good villain. Where Kamal brought passion and method, Rajni brought style and gimmicks. Tamil cinema embraced both.

Tools and techniques for performance tuning in Linux
Too Many Cache Misses?
The performance of the system is highly dependent on the effectiveness of the cache. Any cache miss will degrade performance and lead to a CPU stall.
Sometimes a cache miss is caused by frequently used fields located in data structures that span across the cache line. Oprofile can diagnose this kind of problem.
Again, using the Intel Core 2 processor as an example, choose the event LLC_MISSES to profile all the L2 cache requests that miss the L2 cache. For the exact event to use, you should invoke opcontrol --list-events to read about the details of each event type available for your CPU.
Listing 5 shows how to call up a cache miss profile.
Oprofile is a very versatile tool. By carefully choosing which events to monitor, you can zero in on the CPU operation that is causing the problem.
Listing 5
Cache Miss Profile
01 #opreport -l 02 CPU: Core 2, speed 1801 MHz (estimated) 03 Counted L2_RQSTS events (number of L2 cache requests) with a unit mask of 0x41 04 (multiple flags) count 90050 05 samples % app name symbol name 06 2803 63.4163 cc1 (no symbols) 07 190 4.2986 vmlinux-2.6.25-rc9-ltop get_page_from_freelist 08 102 2.3077 as (no symbols) 09 60 1.3575 vmlinux-2.6.25-rc9-ltop __lock_acquire 10 53 1.1991 libc-2.7.so strcmp 11 39 0.8824 vmlinux-2.6.25-rc9-ltop unmap_vmas 12 38 0.8597 vmlinux-2.6.25-rc9-ltop list_del
Locking Problems
A high context switching rate, relative to the number of running processes, is undesirable and could indicate a lock contention problem. To determine the most contended locks, enable the lock statistics in the kernel, which will give you insight into what is causing the lock contention. To do so, use the lock_stat feature in 2.6.23 or later kernels. First, you'll need to recompile the kernel with the CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y option. Then, before running the workloads, clear the statistics with:
#echo 0 > /proc/lock_stat
After running the workload, review the lock statistics with the following command:
#cat /proc/lock_stat
The output of the preceding command is a list of locks in the kernel sorted by the number of contentions. For each lock, you will see the number of contentions, as well as the shortest, maximum, and cumulative wait time for a contention. In addition, you will see the number of acquisitions, as well as the minimum, maximum, and cumulative hold times for a lock. The top call sites of the lock are also given to let you locate quickly where in the kernel the lock occurs.
It is worth noting that the lock statistics infrastructure incurs overhead. Once you have finished hunting for locks, you should disable this feature to maximize performance.
Excessive Latency
Program throughput that is inconsistent and sputters, applications that seem to go to sleep before coming alive, and a lot of processes under the blocked column in vmstat are often signs of latency in the system. LatencyTOP is a new tool that helps diagnose latency issues.
Starting with the 2.6.25 kernel, you can compile LatencyTOP support into the kernel by enabling the CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y and CONFIG_LATENCYTOP=y options in the kernel configuration. After booting up the kernel with LatencyTOP capability, you can trace latency in the workload with a userspace latency tracing tool from the LatencyTOP website [2]. To start, compile the tool, do a make install of the LatencyTOP program, and run the following as root:
The LatencyTOP program's top screen (Figure 2) provides a periodic dump of the top causes that lead to processes being blocked, sorted by the maximum blocked time for each cause. Also, you'll find information on the percentage of time a particular cause contributed to the total blocked time. The bottom screen provides similar information on a per-process basis.

In metazoans, alternative splicing of genes is essential for regulating gene expression and contributing to functional complexity. Computational predictions, comparative genomics, and transcriptome profiling of normal and diseased tissues indicate that an unexpectedly high fraction of diseases are caused by mutations that alter splicing. Mutations in cis elements cause missplicing of genes that alter gene function and contribute to disease pathology. Mutations of core spliceosomal factors are associated with hematolymphoid neoplasias, retinitis pigmentosa, and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1 (MOPD1). Mutations in the trans regulatory factors that control alternative splicing are associated with autism spectrum disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and various cancers. In addition to discussing the disorders caused by these mutations, this review summarizes therapeutic approaches that have emerged to correct splicing of individual genes or target the splicing machinery.

Dear Readers: Blount Today to close
IN EFFECT UNTIL MAR 12, 8:00 p.m.
issued for NW Blount, Knox, Anderson, Blount Smoky Mountains
Photo by Jolanda Jansma
Grace Coada escaped what is left of her home after the Blount County Fire Department kicked in her door. Grace said she had been in her bedroom before the tornado hit when her cat, Bubba, started acting strange and crying to get in the house. Grace left her bedroom and went to the front of the house to let the cat in, opening the door just as the tornado hit, knocking her into the front room. The house was picked up from its foundation and dropped in her front yard, as seen in the photo to the right. Bubba is still missing.

Does anyone want to start a Jillian Michaels 30 day workout with me tomorrow?

I really need to get started again. I'm thinking of doing Ripped in 30
#2Posted 01 April 2012 - 05:40 PM
I've been looking at Jillian's DVDs online, I want a couple of workout routines for during winter when it's too cold to get outside! Do you need the DVD to do the one you want to do, or is it something different? Thanks!
#3Posted 01 April 2012 - 07:50 PM
I'm starting Ripped in 30 tomorrow, so I'm in! I did No More Trouble Zones last week, was sore for a few days after, probably shouldn't have jumped straight into a 1hr workout straight away. Will be doing it early in the morning before work, so won't be in to update until tomorrow evening though.
#4Posted 01 April 2012 - 07:58 PM
I am hoping to start the 30 day shred one tomorrow, it is the first time I have done it so it will be interesting to see how I go, might keep an eye on this thread though hopefully it will help me keep motivated. Good luck.
#5Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:10 PM
My motivation has been non-existent, I really need to get into it. Pretty disappointed in myself, this time last year I was 66kg, now just over 80, sheer laziness and not eating well enough.
#6Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:18 PM
I have put on about 12 kg in the last year, its come too the fact that I have hardly any winter clothes that will fit me! So that is my motivation - I don't want to buy any more clothes (one money, plus trying to find some that fit me that was comfy!!)
#7Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:23 PM
Yay! So happy to have some company. I also need to lose weight (& have put on a bit more lately ). Would be happy with 8 - 10 kilos.
cardamom - I have her DVDs (a lot of them ) but I think you can 'acquire' these ones online. See you all for check-in tomorrow! Edited by *sugababe*, 01 April 2012 - 08:23 PM. #8Posted 01 April 2012 - 08:42 PM
Count me in!
I am 6 weeks post birth, have dropped the extra baby weight and now have about 12 kg to lose - I have been hanging onto this 12 kg for about 6 years now and I want it gone! I couldn't find 30 day shred at the shop, so went with Ripped in 30. I had a false start last week, and started again today - pretty confident I can get through it but I need something to keep me accountable - checking in here should help! So anyway, if anyone is interested - a quick review on Ripped in 30 level 1: I find it reasonably easy given I haven't exercised properly for a long time - it makes me sweat but knowing the circuits are so short helps me push through it and before you know it, you are warming down. I am going to (try to) incorporate a daily walk too, as so far it feels it will tone rather than burn fat initially. I guess all that new muscle will eventually help burn fat too. I hope! Looking forward to it! #9Posted 01 April 2012 - 09:49 PM
I am in sugababe, provided I can modify it and not do it when I do pt and run as I just don't have time to do it all.
I have 4.8 kg left to lose and easter is looming and chocolate is my downfall! I have boxing tomorrow and I like to run 6km on Tuesdays, so I will start Wednesday with level 3 30ds. #10Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:27 AM
Im in
I acquired Ripped in 30 late last week, and had planned to just do it a couple of times a week on days when I didnt run or cycle, but I like a challenge, so Im up for doing it more! I dont want to lose any weight (have recently got to goal weight of 55kg), but I do want to tone up. I run 4-5 times a week and cycle between 10-30km on my non running days. ETA: I have done the week 1 workout twice, and loved it, really love the format. Edited by DandS, 02 April 2012 - 10:46 AM. #11Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:21 AM
I just did my first one! Just about to head out, but will come back with what I thought
#12Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:32 AM
Have been doing Ripped in 30 for the last week (so about 3 days of it) and also did it this morning, so count me in with the motivation to keep going.
I love the dvd's with the 3-2-1 workout. I purchased 30 day shred and acquired Ripped. I love this one. Still at level one, enjoying it and sweating my hole off with each workout. Can't wait til level 2, though I will give it a few more days before I step up to that one #13Posted 02 April 2012 - 05:29 PM
Day one done Love this workout...
#14Posted 02 April 2012 - 06:51 PM
I did it thisafternoon too
#15Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:49 PM
Got up early and did it this morning, was pretty good, will be back up early tomorrow for Day 2.
#16Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:25 PM
I'm in. I'm only doing it twice a week though as I'm using it to complement a running program. I've been doing level 1 of ripped in 30 for a few weeks and moving to level 2 tomorrow. My plan is to stick with each level for about 3 weeks.
I'm not looking to lose any more weight, just a bit of toning and a different workout. I actually think I've noticed ab definition since I've started. #17Posted 03 April 2012 - 01:03 PM
Day 2 done, nice & early as I have to go to work tonight. Had more energy than yesterday
How is everyone going? #18Posted 03 April 2012 - 01:07 PM
Still trying to get hold of the program! Looking forward to trying it based on everyone's reports.
Did a 40 minute boxing-aerobics workout last night, was good #19Posted 03 April 2012 - 01:09 PM
I did it again thismorning, after an 18km bike ride, so the legs were a bit tired, but still managed to get through it. Looking forward to seeing some results
How was level 2 duedec? #20Posted 03 April 2012 - 03:30 PM
Still to do DandS. Will probably wait to do after the kid have gone to bed. DD hasn't had a sleep today and we've been out all morning.
#21Posted 03 April 2012 - 03:56 PM
Look forward to hearing how it is, and whether its much harder than week 1.
#22Posted 03 April 2012 - 04:07 PM
Haven't had a chance to do anything yet today - was running around like a mad woman this more going here and there, before the MIL arrived. Might try tonight when everyone is in bed. Legs are very sore, not sure how I am going to go.
#23Posted 03 April 2012 - 10:13 PM
RI30 - Level 2 done for the first time tonight. Cardio a bit harder, warmup seemed a bit quicker, and you can notice each bit getting a bit more techincal. I am a bit unco in places! Enjoyed it.
#24Posted 04 April 2012 - 07:09 AM
Hello all,
I did a workout Sunday, but missed monday's workout, my little boy had an ear infection and would not leave me at all! I plan on doing the workout 5 times a week so I think Monday can be a rest day Did it yesterday - after I started it last week I was fairly stiff and sore for a couple of days after - I'm not finding that this time, so I think I am getting use to it :-) It will be a challenge today to get a workout in, I have my baby's immunisations this morning, and uni all afternoon - so I need to make myself do the workout when I come back from the doctors. #25Posted 04 April 2012 - 07:25 AM
I didn't do it last night but first thing this morning, boys are waking up very early so I thought since I was so wide awake and they were busy watching cartoons I would have a go, so set up the portable dvd in the bedroom doorway and didn't in the hallway lol not much room anywhere else in the house. I choose a bad time to start though with school holidays coming up and Easter!!! So much temptation everywhere! And trying to find 20 mins were I am not disruppted by the kids - we all know how hard that is!

Admin Center reporting in 6.2
Hi, I have installed monitoring and reporting agent along with admin center on my TSM server. I have added the data source to a report in common reporting but when I try run it the servername field is blank and there is no option in the drop down field - any suggestions ?

How long has your agent been running? In general it takes about 1-2 hours before the data gets migrated over to DB2 and you are able to run reports against that data.
The first thing to do is make sure that your agent instance is running and communicating with your TSM server. The best way to do this is to pull up an admin client in console mode to your server using "dsmadmc -console". Then stop/start your agent instance and verify the agent is issuing SQL queries to the TSM server.
If you've verified the queries are being issued by the agent and have waited longer than 2 hours before trying to query the data in the report then there might be a more complex issue.

Scherzinger 'top TV personality'
10:35pm Thursday 5th December 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Nicole Scherzinger was named top TV personality at a women of the year event.
The X Factor judge and former Pussycat Dolls star was not the only winner from the ITV talent show as the 2011 champs Little Mix were named best exports.
They triumphed at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Of The Year Awards which were staged at the V&A Museum in London and hosted by Fearne Cotton.
As she accepted her award, Nicole dedicated it to Nelson Mandela, and sang her own tribute to the late South African leader.
Chart-topping singer Ellie Goulding took the music star prize while fellow pop act Paloma Faith was named style icon.
I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! presenters Ant and Dec were given the ultimate men prize in recognition of their years as top TV entertainers. The pair sent an acceptance speech filmed in Australia as they worked on their ITV show this week.
Dec Donnelly said: "We just want to say how thrilled, excited, honoured and randy we are to be your men of the year. It's quite a thrill for us isn't it?"
And Ant McPartlin went on: "We were going to celebrate but unfortunately you didn't send us the award."
After being handed a makeshift version featuring two nude figures with fig leaves, Dec added: You know, we're not gay, we're just friends."
More than 400 guests were attending the bash which also recognised Baroness Doreen Lawrence who was given the e ditor's choice and saw Sheridan Smith given the UK actress prize.
The winners included:
:: Ultimate Music Star - Ellie Goulding
:: Ultimate TV Personality - Nicole Scherzinger

Queensland Legislative Council
Legislative Council | |
Type | |
Type | Upper house of the Parliament of Queensland |
History | |
Established | 1 May 1860 |
Disbanded | 23 March 1922 |
Succeeded by | Unicameral Parliament of Queensland |
Meeting place | |
Legislative Council Chamber Parliament House, Brisbane Queensland, Australia |
The Queensland Legislative Council was the upper house of the parliament in the Australian state of Queensland. It was a fully nominated body which first took office on 1 May 1860. It was abolished by the Constitution Amendment Act 1921, which took effect on 23 March 1922.
Consequently, the Legislative Assembly of Queensland is the only unicameral state Parliament in Australia. Australia's two territories, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory, maintain unicameral parliaments.
Most of the early members of the Council came from wealthy families, were well educated and were born in England.[1] Absenteeism was a problem in the early years, with some members returning to England, being absent for several years.[1]
The Legislative Council was seen by the Australian Labor Party as undemocratic and a tool of patronage, and upon the establishment of a secure Labor majority in the Assembly in 1915, Labor sought the house's abolition. Unsurprisingly, bills for its abolition were rejected by the Council itself in 1915 and 1916, and a referendum failed on 5 May 1917 on a vote of 179,105 to 116,196. In 1920, the Government under Premier Ted Theodore changed tack, persuading the Governor of Queensland to appoint additional members of the Council, thus securing a majority in that Chamber.
The abolition bill was eventually passed by the Assembly on a 51–15 vote on 24 October 1921. The bill was then introduced to the Council by the leader of the Government in the Council, Alfred James Jones, who remarked, "Until we had a majority here, [the Council] was obstructive, and now that we have a majority here it is useless." However, Opposition councillor Patrick Leahy protested that the abolition of the chamber would result in the Assembly being "able to do what it thinks fit" and becoming unaccountable. On 27 October 1921, the Council voted itself out of existence; the members who voted for the abolition were known as the "suicide squad". The Council rose for the last time at 8:37 p.m. that evening.
The non-Labor parties petitioned the British Government, but the Colonial Secretary, Winston Churchill, concluded that the matter was "essentially one for determination locally", and the Governor felt "unable to say that there is evidence of any strong or widespread feeling in the country against this assent being given." Royal Assent was given on 3 March 1922, and the Act was proclaimed in the Government Gazette 20 days later.
Labor's view was summed up in 1980 by Labor politician and historian Dr Denis Murphy, who claimed the "dominance of wealth and property over the Queensland parliament" was broken. However, some scholars and political commentators have argued that the excesses of the Bjelke-Petersen years (1968–1987) in Queensland were only possible because of the absence of a house of review, and that the problem was not the Council itself but its existence as a nominated rather than elected body (Legislative Councils in all other states were fully elective by 1900, except in New South Wales where some nominative features lasted until the 1970s.)
Presidents of the Legislative Council[edit]

Amazon apologizes for deleting Kindle e-books
In an apology, Amazon has offered to redeliver copies of George Orwell novels that were mistakenly deleted from Kindle owners' libraries, or provide a gift certificate or check for $30.
In July, Amazon received a torrent of criticism--not to mention a lawsuit--over its decision to delete copies of "1984" and "Animal Farm" from Kindles after it discovered that certain versions of those e-books were added to the Kindle library by an unauthorized publisher. However, the move to erase lawfully purchased copies of books written about the overreaching hand of a central authoritarian government struck … Read more

Public Transit Don'ts
Public transit is great for several reasons. You don't have to take your car, stress about where to park, plus by not driving you're making a more eco-conscious transit choice. But riding the subway or sitting on the bus or train does come with its own set of frustrations. We share a few of our pet peeves when it comes to commuting without the car.
If you've riden the bus or subway recently, chances are you've run into one of these no-no's. Crowding the doorCrowded buses make exiting difficult, and the process gets that much harder when there are multiple bodies standing in front of the doors. We shouldn't have to push by you in order get off. If you aren't getting off, you shouldn't be standing right next to the door. We understand you don't want to miss your stop either, but if we all sat or stood away from the door (and yes, this means sometimes standing at the back of the vehicle), there would be much less chaos near the exit, allowing everyone to get off when they need to. Wearing backpacksMost of us get on the bus or train with bags — laptop bags, grocery bags, backpacks — but it's how you hold those bags that can become a problem for other riders. Backpacks, especially, create problems when worn on your back. They take up a lot more space when you don't take them off, and there's a lot more potential for hitting other riders with your backpack as you push past them. Do everyone else a favor and take your bag off. You can hold it by your side until you get off. Hoarding seatsIt would be great to have enough space on the bus to spread out and not have to share, but for the most part, especially during peak times (morning and late afternoon commute), there are enough people getting on and off that you're going to have to share. Move over, hold your bag in your lap (don't leave it on the seat next to you in hopes that no one will sit there) and get up for pregnant women and elderly riders. It's common courtesy and just makes the ride easier for everyone. Loud talkingTalking on the bus or train isn't the issue; it's talking on the bus or train like you're in your living room rather than a public space that's the issue. By all means take that phone call, but do keep in mind you're on the bus, and it's very likely that no one else on the bus wants to hear about the guy you picked up last night, or what you're going to buy at the mall. Keep conversations on transit to a minimum or at least at a respectable volume so other riders don't have to feel like they're (reluctantly) part of the discussion. Messy ridersYou can be as messy as you want at home. Leave wrappers on the seats in your own kitchen, not on public transit. If you have to eat a burger and fries on the bus (and we really wish you wouldn't due to the greasy smell it leaves behind), at least have the decency to pick up after yourself when you leave the bus. Other riders don't want to have to move the remnants of your lunch off the seat before they sit down. Tell usWhat are your biggest public transit pet peeves? Share in the comments below!

Formaldehyde med hypothesees for Indigo.pdf (806KB) | (no description provided) |
Title: | A common environmental carcinogen unduly affects carriers of cancer mutations: Carriers of genetic mutations in a specific protective response are more susceptible to an environmental carcinogen |
Author(s): | Friedenson, Bernard |
Subject(s): |
carcinogen |
Abstract: | One way an inherited cancer gene mutation may target specific tissues for cancer is by increasing susceptibility when a tissue is exposed to environmental carcinogens. An example of this may be the increased susceptibility of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers to the carcinogen formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is now a proven cause of human myeloid leukemias. Yet millions of tons of formaldehyde are produced every year and it is everywhere. High formaldehyde levels can overwhelm normal enzyme detoxification systems and cause DNA damage. It is known that some types of formaldehyde-associated DNA damage require error-free DNA repairs mediated by pathways containing BRCA1 and BRCA2 proteins. Otherwise some formaldehyde-related DNA damage cannot be properly repaired so mutations may occur. Therefore, carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene defects should be unduly susceptible to myeloid leukemia. Studies show that inherited biallelic BRCA2 gene defects dramatically increase risks for myeloid leukemia. Heterozygous BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations also increase risks for myeloid leukemias in 11 of 12 relevant studies. BRCA1/2 mutation carriers may reduce risks for myeloid leukemias by using available precautions to lower their exposure to formaldehyde. |
