FInal draft of housing estate plan for West Witney
2:10pm Thursday 6th December 2012 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
CHANGES to a major development to the west of Witney have been unveiled before the proposal goes before a planning committee later this month.
The West Witney estate, which has been in the pipeline for more than a decade, will consist of 1,000 homes as well as a new primary school and shops.
But the final form of the estate has now been settled on and it is set to go before a planning committee on Monday, December 17.
Witney mayor Harry Eaglestone said: "The sooner it goes ahead the better. People need houses and you couldn't get a more attractive place to live than Witney.
"Quite a bit of this estate is going to be social housing which is going to help people who cannot afford to buy.
"And it will give access to the A40 for the lorries from the trading estates so it will take traffic away from Deer Park Road and Thorney Leys."
Plans for the huge site between Downs Road and Deer Park Road were submitted at the beginning of the year but had been held up because of negotiations over access and community contributions.
West Oxfordshire District Council has agreed on a few changes with the applicant, consortium Oxfordshire Land Limited, including the scrapping of a second access route to the estate from Downs Road because it would not be needed.
The proposed roundabout on the A40 has been reduced in size following a safety audit and discussions with Oxfordshire County Council, the highways authority.
It has also been agreed that trees will be planted around the roundabout to screen it off.
County councillor Steve Hayward, who is also a haulier, said: "It is very important that we get this junction built as soon as possible.
"For more than 20 years people in Thorney Leys have been blighted by traffic and it is also very important to the businesses there who have to compete with national companies."
The new estate will feature a village square, with a primary school and three or four small shops to create a community focal point. The plan will also include space for 70 allotments.
District council planning officer Phil Shaw said this was likely to be the final form of the estate and the changes have been readvertised.
Tim Binnington, chairman of Sovereign Land which is a member of the consortium behind the development, said: "Everyone has been working very hard towards this for many years.
"The junction will be the first bit that gets going and that will be towards the middle end of next year."

Do they really mean 'on' the A40? Or is this to be a roundabout with slip roads to the A40.
I cannot believe that anyone would really propose blocking the congested A40 with yet another roundabout junction - surely this junction cannot be designed to interrupt through traffic on the A40?

A dozen years ago, there weren't many places in Fort Lauderdale where I wanted to eat. It seemed like a town that loved chains, Old World Italian joints and tired seafood restaurants. Much of the old is still around, but the restaurant scene has undergone a remarkable transformation.
Just look at S3 inside the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. The trio behind this ocean-side beauty —Tim Petrillo, Peter Boulukos and Alan Hooper, owners of The Restaurant People — were pioneers in the entertainment district known as Himmarshee Village, where they still operate Tarpon Bend.

To mark the commercial release of the NAO headlamp, ultra-runners from team Petzl provide us with some insight on how to properly run at night.
Running at night provides a magical opportunity to enter another dimension. Conditions change quite a bit, however, between day and night: your visibility is limited, you are more likely to lose your bearings, and the surroundings may feel strange or unfamiliar. In order to better prepare, Kilian Jornet, Seb Chaigneau, Fernanda Maciel and Jared Campbell offer their insight and advice on how to best approach running in nighttime races.

Children in the Heartland are battling a new, rare disease.
Meet Reagann and Mason. These two children may seem like normal kids, but what they have is quite rare.
Both are diagnosed with a disease called ROHHAD. That is short for Rapid-Onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation and Autonomic Dysregulation presenting in childhood.
There are less than 100 kids worldwide that have been diagnosed. This disease can turn deadly and right now, there is no known cure.
Although a cure and advancements in medication are being researched, it is minimal thus far. Some symptoms are more obvious like weight gain and eye abnormalities. A variety of other symptoms may pop up as well including rising carbon dioxide levels, fluctuating sodium levels, altered sweating, fluctuating temperatures, and reduced lung function that leave most patients unable to breathe without the use of a ventilator.
Parents of Reagann and Mason have searched relentlessly for answers over the years, traveling many miles and seeing many specialists before being diagnosed with ROHHAD.
That is something Amy Henderson of Wickliffe, Kentucky knows all too well. Her son is Chance. He has similar symptoms as Reagann and Mason. Doctors are testing Chance for ROHHAD.
Chance and his family has been fighting for answers much like Reagann and Mason's family has been. After gaining roughly 40 pounds in a one year span seven years ago, Chance's family has since been on the search for answers. They feel confident ROHHAD may be the answer to what Chance may have.
Nonetheless, treatments are being studied and tested. One treatment offered to Reagann is an experimental chemo treatment in Baltimore. The family has decided to undergo the treatment next month. They hope this will be an answer to at least some of her troubles. Families of these three children want to let others know that ROHHAD exists. They feel that spreading awareness and raising funds is a must for research and to someday find some answers and cure this disastrous disease.
Before Reagann makes her trip to Baltimore, family and friends have set up a fundraiser on June 1 in East Prairie, Missouri called Reagann's Rowdy Day. This ROHHAD event is to raise funds and awareness of the disease.

Further study details as provided by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Evaluate the safety/persistence of escalating doses of allogeneic EBV specific CTL modified to express artificial T cell receptors targeting CD19 molecule given for persistence or relapse of B-Cell ALL post allogeneic HSCT. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To assess the effects of the adoptively transferred CD19 specific T-cells on the progression of leukemia. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To quantitate the number of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) positive T-cells in the blood at defined intervals post infusion in order to determine their survival and proliferation in the host. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To assess long-term status of treated patients [ Time Frame: 15 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2011
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2015
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Biological/Genetically Modified T cells
During the dose escalation phase three patients will be entered at each dose level (depending on toxicity). If there are no toxicities and immunological efficacy is not seen at any dose, the doses will be further escalated. Upon completion of dose escalation we will treat a maximum of 14 patients at the highest dose.
Biological: Biological/Genetically Modified T cells
Following completion of the chemotherapy, genetically modified T cells will be given intravenously at one of 3 dose levels. After the infusion patients will be monitored clinically and with serial blood and marrow evaluations to assess toxicity, therapeutic effects, and the in-vivo survival of the genetically modified T-cells.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|up to 19 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients treated on this protocol will have been diagnosed with CD19+ leukemia at less than 19 years of age.
- History of CD19+ leukemia with evidence of bone marrow relapse or persistent MRD following allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
- Persistent minimal residual disease after transplantation must be demonstrated by morphology, karyotype, FSH, flow cytometry or RT-PCR with at least 2 sequential testings separated by at least 1 week.
- We expect that there will be cases in which a patient will experience a leukemia relapse and will require chemotherapy during the establishment, expansion and modification of EBV-CTLs. The timeline for establishing the EBV-BLCL (3-5 weeks), establishing EBV specific T-cell line (6-8 weeks) and expanding the genetically modified EBV specific T-cell line (1-4 weeks) is considerable. During this time patients may receive chemotherapy at the discretion of their treating physician. If the patient receives chemotherapy they must have recovered from any chemotherapy induced toxicity and meet all eligibility criteria for organ function for this protocol at the time the conditioning therapy is initiated. If the patient has been rendered hypoplastic by the chemotherapy, the patient may proceed to T-cell therapy with conditioning therapy prior to the resurgence of a blastic marrow.
- The patient's hematopoietic stem cell transplant donor must consent to a leukapheresis or whole blood donations obtained at one or more phlebotomies which, in aggregate, will total approximately 250 ml for adults and no more than 5ml/kg per draw from pediatric donors. Related donors under the age of 18 will donate peripheral blood collected by phlebotomy (including a unit of blood if weight permits) and shall not undergo leukopheresis which is considered above minimal risk to the donor.
- Unrelated volunteer donors should be between the age if 18 and 60 years as these are the age restrictions for volunteer unrelated donor registries. There is no upper age limit for a related donor. However, the minimum age for a related donor is 7 years as this is the youngest age a person can be considered capable of giving assent to participate in a research study.
Organ Function as determined on the day of initiation of lymphodepleting cytoreduction.
- KPS or Lansky score > 30
- Renal function at the time of treatment: Creatinine ≤2.0mg/dL
- Hepatic function at time of treatment: AST ≤ 3.0 x the institutional ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x the institutional ULN
- Pulmonary function: Oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air
- Patients treated on this protocol will have been diagnosed with CD19+ leukemia at less than 19 years of age.
- Patients with CNS relapse are eligible. However, if patient receives intrathecal chemotherapy, at least 24 hours must elapse prior to the T-cell infusion.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with active (grade 2-4) acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD or an overt autoimmune disease (e.g. hemolytic anemia) requiring glucocorticosteroid treatment (>0.5 mg/kg/day prednisone or its equivalent) as treatment.
- Patients with other life-threatening conditions not related to leukemia (e.g. veno-occlusive disease or uncontrolled bacterial, viral or invasive fungal infection) which would confound evaluation of the effects of an infusion of genetically modified T-cells.
- Females who are pregnant.
- Patient or guardian is unable to give informed consent or unable to comply with the treatment protocol including appropriate supportive care, follow-up, and research tests.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 23, 2010) – Gaining his third straight upset victory under the care of trainer Carl O'Callaghan, lightly-raced 5-year-old gelding Kinsale King scorched the four-race winning streak of Breeders' Cup Sprint Champion Dancing in Silks Saturday when triumphant in Santa Anita's 58th running of the Grade II, $150,000 Palos Verdes Handicap at six furlongs.
With Martin Garcia in the saddle, Kinsale King withstood the late charge of another longshot, Ventana, by one-half length while 9-10 favorite Dancing in Silks settled for third, another 1 ¼ lengths back without mounting a serious threat under Joel Rosario.
Kinsale King crossed the wire in 1:08.81 after tracking the early pace of Eaton's Gift and gaining control entering the stretch. "He never gave up, he just kept going," said Garcia in the winner's circle.
Dr. Patrick Sheehy's Super Horse Inc. transferred the son of Yankee Victor to the care of O'Callaghan, a native of County Clare, Ireland, last year following a maiden victory in four starts. In his debut for the new trainer last Oct. 30, Kinsale King won an optional claimer at Santa Anita by three lengths. His odds were 61-1. He returned for a gritty neck victory in Hollywood Park's Grade III Vernon O. Underwood Stakes on Dec. 6. His odds were 7-1.
Carrying 116 pounds, he rewarded his backers Saturday with mutuels of $20.20, $9.80 and $4.40. Ventana, ridden by Joe Talamo, returned $11.60 and $4.40. The show price on Dancing in Silks, who carried high weight of 123 pounds in the field of seven, was $2.60.
"He's so good to me, this horse, I don't believe it," said a joyous O'Callaghan.
Carla Gaines, who conditions Dancing in Silks for Ken Kinakin, took the setback in stride. "He (Rosario) got him off the rail appropriately," she said. "I just think he was spotting a lot of weight, the track is a little tiring, and he missed one work on the comeback. So he ran very respectably. It looks like he just got a little tired."
O'Callaghan said that the March 27 Dubai Golden Shaheen would be next for Kinsale King. "I promised Dr. Sheehy in June that we'd head to Dubai," he said. "That's been my goal since I got this horse.
"Dr. Sheehy is a super guy, and he's got a ton of confidence in me, but the horse is the most important thing. I get on him every day, and he just puts out. It's hard to explain."
The Palos Verdes victory, worth $90,000, boosted Kinsale King's earnings to $207,080 from an overall record of 4-0-1 in seven starts.
The 58th running of the Grade II, $150,000 San Marcos Stakes, a turf event at 1 ¼ miles, heads Sunday's nine-race program with first post at 12:30 p.m.

Elsheimer's nocturnes are among his most sublime pictorial inventions. In the wan light of a storm beneath pitch-black skies, a crowd seeks refuge from the rising floods on a slope at the front left. The horizon cuts through the silhouette of Noah's ark. In the right foreground, a man and an infant are afloat in a cradle; next to them are women clinging to their belongings. Figures in the middle ground are leading animals behind them as they flee. The group of climbers at the front was inspired by a Caracci engraving, while the overall composition reveals the Venetian influence. The heightened monumentality, however, already points to Elsheimer's early years in Rome around 1600.

Many of the most enduring and macabre superstitions center around the animals in our world and particularly domesticated pets. There are more 'old wives' tales' about dogs and cats than for elephants or even toads.
This is because the most common of household pets were adopted by mankind as far back as prehistoric times, for hunting, guarding and companionship.
Images of humans with dogs and cats appear on Egyptian tombs, Greek temples and even the cave paintings at Lascaux, France.
So it's no wonder a great deal of lore, most of it negative and often contradictory center on the tabbies and pooches we feed, water and play with every day.
For instance, the bugaboo of Medieval Europe, black cats and witches. How did that come about? Try this on for size:
A Norse legend tells of the chariot of the witch Freya pulled by black cats. They were possessed by the Devil and very fast. After serving Freya for seven years, the cats turned into witches, disguised as black cats.
This is where the belief that black cats were familiars of witches began. After seven years they themselves became witches. Black cats were supposed to be bad luck.
Oh-kay. Anyone who has Sheba purring on their lap on a cool winter evening knows this is pure rot.
If a black cat crossed your path, it meant Satan was taking notice of you. Not a guy you want on your case.
But how many of us still jump a little in our step when we see a black cat walking past us?
Some old sailors refused to step on board a ship if a black cat walked the decks. Yet cats have been the most efficient means of keeping a ship free of rats.
However, in some parts of the world black cats are supposed to be good luck. In ancient England black cats were mummified and placed in tombs to deter evil from taking the spirit of the dead. Never mind what the cat thought about it.
If a black cat jumped over the coffin of a dead person, the deceased would return as a ghost. A good thing to keep in mind at a lawyer's funeral. Keep the cats away.
Okay, on to dogs. Egyptians revered the jackal and Romans the hunting dog. Every culture in the world has domesticated or trained dogs for specific duties.
Dogs howl at the Moon, right? Not exactly. The Moon has nothing to do with it. They're howling to communicate with other dogs. But for ages that portended either good or bad fortune, depending on where you lived.
Here is one I'm sure dogs are very glad has been laid to rest. In the middle Ages, if a dog bit a person, the dog was killed, even if the animal had no rabies. This was because if it later got rabies, the person who was bitten, even years later, would be infected.
In England and Scotland black dogs were believed to be the portents of evil events and death. Remember Harry Potter and the Grim? We know it was just his godfather Sirius looking out for him. But they were also thought to be the spirits of wicked persons who led you astray and into danger. OR, friendly guides to lost travelers. Talk about ambiguity. Bring a coin to flip if you encounter a big black dog some dark night on the Moors.
Dogs have always been credited with being able to see supernatural things or sense geologic events like earthquakes. Personally my Labrador Musket sleeps through them. Be that as it may, here's a useful tip. When a dog sits and stares at nothing, totally oblivious to everything around it, look right between the dog's ears. You (provided you possess the ability) should see a ghost. Explains a lot, actually. I always thought they just 'zoned out.' Turns out Fido was really communicating with the ghost of Dr. Doolittle.
And if you have a seven-toed dog, they can see ghosts. That should come in handy this Halloween. Get on your knees and start counting.

Here are a few items that you really should have stands for, if you don't already.
Sure, you could keep your printer on your desk, but with your computer, phone, lamp and other necessities, there's probably not much room for it. Furthermore, if you work in a busy office, you probably have a networked printer that multiple people use, and you don't want everyone to have to come by one employee's desk whenever they need to get a printout.
When giving a presentation to the office, it's always nice to have something to stand behind. It's even nicer when that something has a nice surface for your notes, and even some storage space where you can keep other props or files as needed.
Most people in your office probably have their own computer, but maybe there's only one computer that has certain design or organizational software that not everyone needs all the time. If there's one computer that a number of people may need access too, it's nice to be able to keep it on a mobile cart that supports it safely and allows one to easily transport it from station to station.
Sam's Club has carts and stands for all of these purposes and lots more, so check out the catalog and order everything you need for your office today.

Layer 7 at GSMA Mobile World Congress
The ubiquity of mobile devices is something we've all become used to in recent years. Still, the remarkable popularity of Apple's iPad seems to have kicked things up another notch. The whole BYOD phenomenon has finally brought Apple hardware and software into the enterprise. Meanwhile, for many of us, the iPad (or similar tablet product) is becoming the primary means by which we consume content – newspapers, TV, music, you name it!
With new tablets coming on the market and consumers demanding more and more mobile access to content, API management is becoming an increasingly pressing concern for content providers. At Layer 7, we've been following these developments closely, while providing API management and security solutions to some big names in content delivery and mobile communications, including Orange.
We'll be demonstrating our mobile API products at the end of this month, when we set up shop at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 27-March 1). This is undoubtedly the big mobile industry event of the year, so it'll be exciting to be in the thick of things. The fact that it's happening in a city as spectacular as Barcelona is just the icing on the cake. If you're lucky enough to be attending, you'll find us at booth 2.1A79.

Lab test: Telligent Community Server 2008 spurs collaboration
Blogs, forums, and media galleries integrate with enterprise applications through Web services
There's little argument that Telligent's Community Server can stand up to the rigors of hosting public-facing communities. This product is the force behind some of the biggest and most visible blogs on the Net, including MySpace, the National Football League, and National Geographic. An equal number of clients – the likes of Dell, GlaxoSmithKline, and Ernst & Young – use this platform for business-to-business and business-to-consumer communities.
With these uses out of the way, I set out to learn how well Community Server's new Intranet Edition works inside the enterprise as a knowledge management solution.
Intranet Edition differs from the existing high-end (Enterprise) edition by including SharePoint integration via custom Web Parts, but limits single sign-on to Active Directory (Enterprise provides three types of authentication). Otherwise, there are no restrictions on the number of forums, blogs, photos, and files. You also get enterprise search and RSS subscriptions for search results – and Harvest Reporting Server is included, providing analysis and trending on how people are contributing within a community.
Running on a Windows 2003 server using SQL 2005, my test setup was ready to use in about 30 minutes. That's because, while this application's very deep, the developers created one of the better administration dashboards I've seen. It clearly organizes all the major tasks you do initially and every day, allowing access through AJAX-style menus and forms. This let me quickly customize my site, manage groups, and maintain the three main functions: blogs, forums, and media galleries.
Community Server shined as a social platform. While members can't customize their home page (which is a major feature of Jive Clearspace 2.0), Telligent aggregates essential information up front when you log in, including the latest blogs, forum posts, and activities of your friends.
Community Server's blogs have all the features I'd want to enable community interactions. Comments can be anonymous or authenticated – plus, posts may be rated and moderated. Administrators control how blogs work by creating groups and assigning rights. Conveniently, once an admin creates the initial roles and permissions, any authorized user (through a subset of the Control Panel dashboard) can quickly establish permissions for their own blogs and manage their content.
Creating this content was easy using a typical rich text editor. Yet two features separate Community Server from Clearspace. First, Community Server lets you use Tablet PC ink for authoring. Second, you can make blog posts through e-mail (using Microsoft Exchange integration) from mobile phones, BlackBerrys, and Outlook. This solution has other helpful features, even if they're not unique, including publish date options and thorough media support; photos, video, podcasts, and virtually any type of file attachment can be inserted into blogs.
Community Server's forums have the expected tools for maintaining rich collaboration discussions. As with blogs, forums can be public or private – and e-mail lists let you distribute discussions through a Microsoft Exchange server.

London Broncos have completed the signing of Australian prop Nick Slyney
11:25am Thursday 30th January 2014 in Sport
London Broncos have completed the signing of 25-year-old Australian prop Nick Slyney.
Slyney, from Queensland, who is 6ft 2ins and weighs 96 kg, made his NRL debut for North Queensland Cowboys in 2008 and has been with the Brisbane Broncos for the last two seasons.
Slyney's grandfather was born in London and is able to get an ancestry visa.
"I'm excited to be given the opportunity to play for the London Broncos in the Super League," he said.
"The opportunity to live and play overseas is one my girlfriend and I are extremely eager to take up as a new chapter of my footy career."
London Broncos head coach Tony Rea added: "We've been talking with Nick for the last four months. He has shown outstanding character and will prove to be a strong part of the capital's pack."

Kieran Slobodin
One of the first things third-year economics student Kieran Slobodin packed when he was preparing to come to Queen's two years ago was his hard-cover copy of the Canadian Oxford Dictionary. After all, Queen's had sent it to him in the first place.
As a Grade 8 student entering Vanier Catholic Secondary School in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in 2003, Mr. Slobodin was selected to receive a Queen's University Book Prize. The pilot program had been launched that year to recognize students progressing from a Canadian elementary or middle school to high school, who demonstrate superior academic performance combined with extracurricular activities and who show leadership and citizenship. Students, selected by their principal, receive the prize to foster an ambition to pursue university studies.
Now well-thumbed after years of use, Mr. Slobodin's dictionary has a place of honour in his Deutsch Centre office, where he holds the position of Academic Affairs Commissioner. He was excited to meet University Registrar Jo-Anne Brady, who had signed the letter of congratulations that accompanied his prize.
At home in the Yukon, Mr. Slobodin had worked in soup kitchens and for charities, but "coming to Queen's there were a lot more volunteer opportunities," he says. "After being involved in high school, it was a logical thing to continue at university, especially with the range of areas for volunteering here." Mr. Slobodin, whose potential was recognized by the Book Prize, soon became involved in the Alma Mater Society. A major reason for choosing Queen's, he says, was its reputation for being a community as well as a school.
"Our hope in presenting these books is that many of the recipients will ultimately go on to university – and that some will eventually end up at Queen's," says Ms Brady. "Kieran exemplifies the type of leadership and citizenship which the award celebrates. It's a pleasure to welcome him and other Book Prize recipients to Queen's."
Approximately 100 Queen's book prizes are awarded each year, administered and funded by the Office of the University Registrar. Inside each book is a tricolor card, inscribed by Principal Daniel Woolf.
"The kids are really impressed by that!" says Merry Horton, of the Registrar's Office.

The flavor combinations were awesome in this sandwich. You could taste each one as you took a bite. My husband is not one to like things like this put together, but he loved it. I had some fresh local peaches and they were perfect for the sandwich.

PHOENIX (AP) - A woman accused of trying to give away her baby to strangers outside a Phoenix convenience store has been sentenced to two years of supervised probation.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 37-year-old Rozenna Luna was sentenced Thursday.
She pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse in July.
Phoenix police were called to the store May 15 to check on Luna and her 6-month-old daughter.
Witnesses told officers that Luna was asking strangers if they wanted a free child.
Police say Luna allegedly had been drinking and smoking methamphetamine two days before the incident.
They say she made no attempt to contact any safe haven locations, government agencies or family members for help.
Luna's child was in state custody after her arrest, but has since been returned to the child's father.

As first-time mega-ship cruisers we were delighted with the Allure experience. Our Port Everglades embark/debark was amazingly quick considering the 6,000+ passengers. We opted for the Park-N-Go lot for our car and I timed under 30 minutes from shuttle bus to arrival on board and same for time from mustering for departure, clearing customs and back in our shuttle bus.
As others have noted, the size of this ship offers an extraordinary array of places to go and things to do. The concept of creating a hollow central core from deck 5 and up, with interior-facing balconies, Central Park, and the Boardwalk area in the stern 1/3 of the ship is genius and gave a sense of open space that carries throughout the ship. The deck space with a 225,000 ton ship also meant a very large pool and water games area for kids separate from the adult pools and whirlpools. We were religious about using the fitness center and found it to be outstanding. Crowds gather mid morning but equipment was still readily available.
We found the food to be average or a bit above. Our service experience was positive, from dining room to cabin steward, and with other crew as well. However, our dinner table companions echoed other reviewers who found this a little less welcoming and friendly ship than other RC ships they had enjoyed. I am glad we did not have that experience.
We enjoyed our port visits but stuck with the "overview" excursions. We were impressed again with how efficiently Allure got us off and on the ship, along with the 5,998 other passengers. As for entertainment, it was excellent and passed my "run in the stockings" test (second-class shows with seedy costumes and lackluster talent). No complaints about getting into the shows, either, as long as you planned ahead and made reservations as we did, before the cruise. (We also made it into shows we had not reserved but were willing to wait 15 minutes to fill in for "no shows".)
Bottom line: We were impressed. Don't let size scare you away from an extraordinary experience. While certainly not the cozy experience of a river barge trip on the Seine, we never felt like we were lost in a sea of people or ignored by the staff.

HWBOT Articles
At OverClocking-TV, our mission is this: Promote the practice of overclocking worldwide. No matter Pro, extreme or enthusiast – all sorts of OC deserve to be broadcasted. This is our only goal and nothing has changed since we started back in 2009.
Back then things were still very archaic. We used SD handy-cams to cover events, and our streams were merely music and a 360p hell sometimes only 240p video feeds. But over time, we improved and technology backed us up. Covering each year more events slowly got us access to better gear; dramatically developed our skills and this lead us to the point where we are today.
We shoot event coverages all over the world; OCTV is owner of the largest archive of Live OC video footage & picutures in the world (we have stuff dating back to the early shamino/hipro era). We stream now only in HD/FHD and even sometimes go wild with 4K video projects.

Those of you who follow me on Facebook may have seen a couple of pictures of my latest project passing by. I received numerous questions about this ongoing project and I figured there is no better place to share early bits and pieces than here.
Last year, in January 2013, we released a short time-lapse video of a Kingpincooling Venom pot freezing up. Quite experimental back then and the main goal was to find out freeze-unfreeze-refreeze timelapse footage would look like in comparison to static pictures of frozen hardware gear.
Using last year's result as a base, we decided to push things further (keep pushing it! right?) and scale up to a complete system. In fact, we did not just use a motherboard, CPU pot and one graphics cars, we went for a full 4-Way system.

The Rookie Rumble competitions are an incredible success. With a combined total of 1077 benchmark results submitted by 380 Rookie overclockers in the past three weeks, we have never seen such great activity during a Rumble. The competitions are getting tougher and the scores are getting better too, which means that the Rookies are learning fast and are more than ready for a step up to the Novice or Enthusiast League.
In the latest editions, we celebrate JunkDogg and Nvidiaforever2's victories and crown them to the new Kings of the Rookies!

In last week's write-up we brought up a couple of arguments why your team should recruit a Rookie. During our journey to find out more about Rookies who already joined an overclocking team, we stumbled on a small but active UK-based team operating under the name Team MLG. Team MLG is a fairly small overclocking team. The team originates from a gaming community of 111 members based in the UK. Founded by Paul "Huddy" Hudson and a couple of his gamer friends, the community recently started overclocking at HWBOT. We got in touch with the Team Captain Gregster and asked him a couple of questions about the team, HWBOT and overclocking. Continue to the full interview ->

With the introduction of the new Overclocker Leagues, the Rookie overclockers now have a prominent place in the HWBOT community. The Rookies have always existed, but only recently surfaced via the Rookie Rumble competitions. The Rookie Rumble is a competition only for Rookies – the overclockers who have been at the site for 3 months or less. Every month we see new record highs of Rookies joining the site, but where will the Rookies learn the tricks of overclocking? Time to recruit the Rookies!

The Sacramento Bee reported that California has received conditional approval from the Obama administration Thursday to begin subsidized health care. The state plans to commence subscriptions in October.
"Covered California" hopes to service the large population of state residents who are eligible for federal subsidies for health coverage next year. Americans will be required to obtain insurance beginning in 2014.
California has qualified for $237 million in federal grants to date to build the infrastructure of its marketplace, according to the Bee.
The grants pays for an IT system, which enrolls subscribers statewide, and marketing efforts and staff to operate the program.
Federal officials see California as a key state in the program. With the highest population, the state has unique language and cultural barriers among its uninsured population.
Currently, the federal government has approved "health exchanges" in 19 states and Washington, D.C.

November 1, 2007
by Susan Gurevitz
In 2001, the Houston Independent School District had 150 employees with five or more previous claims under their belts and who were out of work collecting workers' compensation. One person had racked up 17 claims over the previous five years.
Tom Dolan, the claims manager, wanted to know whether these claims were legitimate and how he could break the cycle of these repeat claims.
He came up with an innovative idea for a back-to-work program to tackle this problem. After one month of that program, 17 people came back to work, and he cleared the books of the rest of these employees within a year.
Programs like that are one of the reasons the Houston Independent School District was chosen as the nonprofit winner of the 2007 Theodore Roosevelt Workers' Compensation and Disability Management Award.
After all, not every operation can reduce its lost-time claims to 34 days from 152 days in only four years.
The HISD is the largest urban school district in Texas, with 309 schools within 312 square miles and 31,500 employees. With an annual payroll of $1.1 billion, the district educates 235,000 students. It has a fleet of 1,000 buses that travel more than 70,000 miles per day.
It employs 13,000 teachers, 600 police officers (it has a certified police department that operates just like any other law enforcement office in the state), 1,000 drivers and mechanics, 2,100 employees in trades and a food service staff of 1,700.
To get a better handle on each employee's duties about five years ago Dolan contracted with BTE Technologies of Denver to create detailed job descriptions for each employee category.
The descriptions included physical-demand analyses of each job, such as bending, pushing and pulling. "Each report is 16 to 20 pages long," Dolan says. Three local BTE-certified facilities conduct what are called functional capacity evaluations that mimic the type of activity an employee does on a regular basis. "We wanted it to be objective and repeatable," says Dolan.
For example, bus drivers are required to check the lug nuts on each tire to make sure they're tight before they pull out of the bus barns to pick up the students. That means they have to be able to squat down at each tire. Also, each bus is equipped with a porthole on the roof that can be opened if children have to exit the bus in an emergency. That requires pushing up an overhead hood that weighs 51.6 pounds.
If a bus driver is injured on the job, and is home collecting workers' comp benefits, he must be able to accomplish those tasks before returning to work at full duty.
"The physical testing is based upon the physical description of the job. For heavy lifting, for example, an employee would have to lift something from their shoulders above them, so there's a bar they have to push up upon," Dolan says. An employee's heart and respiration are also monitored.
After the testing BTE specialists review the testing results to make sure the proper protocols were followed and the calibration was correct. Here's the kicker: A bus driver cannot return to work until he successfully completes the physical tests BTE has designed for a bus driver's particular duties, like squatting or lifting heavy equipment.
In some cases the employees return to work. But in other cases, says Dolan, "We've determined that they can't safely return to duty and can't do the job without hurting themselves. If we can't reasonably accommodate the bus driver to perform the essential functions, then they can't go back to work." Dolan makes every effort to reassign the employee.
"But there's no requirement in the district," he says, "so if the employee can't do the job anymore, we can't create a job for him." And the employee loses his job along with his supplemented health insurance and other school district benefits, "which are very rich," Dolan says.
In Texas, workers can receive temporary workers' comp benefits for up to two years, with a maximum of $670 a week. The workers receive 70 percent of their salaries. At the end of the two years, if employees are still at an impairment of 15 percent or greater, they can continue with benefits up to eight years. There are no limits on medical benefits, and employees could be treated for a lifetime. Still, some employees earn $1,000 a month, so living on $700 a month may not be so appealing.
Clearing "Frequent Flyers"
This is the same return-to-work system that Dolan used to clear up those 150 "frequent flyer" employees who were home collecting workers' comp benefits. If employees had been off work for 60 days or more, or if those with impairment injuries were at least 90 percent recovered or had three or more claims over the past five years, Dolan would not accept them back to work until they could safely return.
What reasonable accommodations did he have to make? That meant putting people on light duty who qualified until they were ready for full-duty release. They could not return to work until they successfully completed the physical tests BTE had designed for their particular jobs. But here's the catch: If they couldn't complete those tasks, they lost their jobs, as long as the action was approved by the Americans with Disabilities Act committee.
In the first year of this program, 21 people lost their jobs. Dolan says it wasn't a case of "gotcha."
"There's a level of activity that too often is missed," he says. "Do you really want people doing work for you that they really can't do. That is the message that's out there now."
After the first go-around with this program, the employees were shocked. For example, Dolan determined that a special-education teacher who had a physical analysis test done would need assistance accomplishing her duties. Her doctor said he didn't expect her to improve. She simply couldn't do her job.
"She said, 'I've never had to do this before,' " when she was tested, Dolan recalls. No one had. "The net result was rather sad, but it was not a matter of a witch hunt. It was really based on a safe environment."
Using the FMLA
Dolan has also implemented another inventive return-to-work program based upon the Family and Medical Leave Act, first passed by Congress in 1993. Dolan points out that it's an entitlement, not a benefit.
The law enables most full-time employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave over a 12-month period for family issues such as the birth of a child, caring for a seriously ill relative, or recovery from a serious injury or illness.
After doing his own research, Dolan realized he could apply this act to his injured employees who weren't eager to return to work. "The (FMLA) law says (for those qualified for FMLA benefits), when an employee is injured, we're required to protect their job for 12 weeks with no pay," Dolan explains.
He employs the law in tandem with workers' comp and the employee's paid-time-off benefits. Injured employees receive their workers' comp benefits but are also required to use their existing accrued sick leave and vacation days at the same time.
But because they're under the FMLA jurisdiction, they receive periodic advisements informing them that they have a choice. They can continue to receive workers' comp benefits up to the limit, but if they don't return to work and have exhausted their accrued leave--at the end of the 12-week leave period--they lose their jobs and have to reapply to get them back.
"When (the FMLA program)'s run concurrently independent of the workers' comp program, it's amazing how people get better," Dolan says. In fact, his average loss-time statistics used to run 22.7 weeks before he instituted the FMLA program. The loss-time average is now down to five weeks.
Of course, there's always abuse of any workers' comp system--Dolan estimates it's at least 80 percent--and some doctors and lawyers will insist the worker needs more time off to recover. The FMLA system helps to mitigate that to some extent. At HISD, roughly 90 percent of the 500 or so employees who are off work are under the umbrella of FMLA.
The HISD workers' comp system is so large that its third-party administrator, Broadspire/Crawford, has a 12-member team on site. For four years Broadspire has handled the less than routine claims with coordination of the transitional-duty department and the FMLA process.
Rondy Spardella, client dedicated unit manager, says only twice has an employee been injured seriously enough, called catastrophic, that the employee didn't fall under the FMLA restrictions. But the FMLA system works for most employees.
"There's an ownership (among most employees)," Dolan says. "You can't provide safety, risk management and a successful workers' comp program without it."

The ways of viruses in Linux
Some say an attack is looming, and others say we don't have to worry. What's the real story on viruses in Linux?
Linux may not be as vulnerable as Windows, but if you think Linux viruses don't exist, you'd better think again. Virus writers have any number of possibilities for passing viruses into Linux, although the damage will be limited if you're careful and follow a few simple rules. In this article, I'll describe some examples of how Linux viruses work, and I'll give you some tips for keeping your system safe. A Theoretical Linux Virus Most Linux distributions come with gzexe, a small utility that compresses executable files and automatically uncompresses them when they're started. For example, you can copy /bin/date to /tmp and run gzexe /tmp/date to compress the executable file. The size of /bin/date and /tmp/date should differ, and the latter should be noticeably smaller. Now try to run both files. Do you notice any difference?

Men's Basketball Announces 2008-09 Schedule
FORT MYERS, Fla., - Florida Gulf Coast University Men's Head Basketball Coach Dave Balza has announced the 2008-09 schedule. The schedule features 18 home games this season including three in the O'Reilly Auto Parts College Basketball Experience Classic.
"Just as was the case last year, we want to challenge ourselves with a tough schedule. We think that our community and our students will enjoy the level of competition," said Balza. "Most importantly, we feel that by playing a tough non-conference schedule, we will get out young team ready for the rigors of Atlantic Sun Conference play."
One of the highlights of the schedule will be a December 10 trip to Gainesville to face Florida. The Gators are one of the premier programs in college basketball after becoming the first team in 15 years to repeat as national champions. Florida won 24 games last season and returns four starters while bring in one of the top ranked recruiting classes in the country.
The Eagles open the season at the O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE on November 16 and will host three games in the tournament November 24-26. The rest of the field, including FGCU's opponent for the season opener will be announced at a later date.
Following the season opener at the CBE, FGCU returns home to face North Carolina Central for the first of five straight at Alico Arena. The Eagles play 17 regular season home games. FGCU will also host the three games of the O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE as well as Florida Atlantic during the homestand. FGCU also hosts Ave Maria in an exhibition on November 5. FGCU will also host Johnson & Wales (December 14) and Army (December 30) at Alico Arena.
FGCU also will make a road trip to Butler and Michigan on December 20th and 22nd. This will be the third consecutive meeting between the Bulldogs and the Eagles. Butler has been nationally ranked in each of the previous meetings and went on to the NCAA tournament. The Michigan contest will mark the first meeting between FGCU and the Alma Mater of Head Coach Dave Balza. It will also be a homecoming of sorts for FGCU sophomore guard Reed Baker, a Naples, Fla., native who transferred to FGCU following his freshman season at Michigan.
The Eagles open up conference play at Stetson on December 4 and host Campbell on December 13. This season the Atlantic Sun Conference will go to a 20-game conference schedule. FGCU will face the other 10 members once at home and once on the road. The Eagles host three-time defending A-Sun champion Belmont on January 31. Last season Belmont lost to Duke in the first round of the NCAA tournament on a last second shot.
The Eagles bring in one of the top recruiting classes in school history to replace four starters from a year ago. The class has been ranked as the second best class in the conference by Hoop Scoop. FGCU completed its first season in Division I as a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference last year.
The FGCU booster club will be hosting a "Sneak Peak/Pick-a-Seat Party" on October 23 where fans can get a first look at the men's and women's basketball team. Admission to the event is free. FGCU still has season ticket packages remaining, starting at $80. For more season ticket information, please call (239) 590-7145 or visit www.fgcuathletics.com/tickets.

Strohmaier: We looked at growing it up to a thousand, it would be a lot more work. We also looked at if there would be a natural point to cut it off earlier. There is some indication that around 50 to 100 would be the cut-off point for really big scientific supercomputers, because after 50 to 100 you see a lot of commercial systems on the list and they tend to have different features, it's a bit of a different market. But we're happy to have 500 because what happens in the top 50 is largely driven by what happens in the 100 to 400 range, because that's where companies design products for and then they adjust them for the high end. There are very few companies who define purely for the high end.
IDGNS: Any predictions for the next list?
Strohmaier: I'm not sure we'll have a second petaflop system yet, but it will come. Quad-core systems are running strong, we'll see more of them. Aside from the petaflop system and the quad-core systems, the other interesting thing this time was that we included power consumption for the first time. We tried to learn from other efforts, we talked about this for a while, and now we have power consumption for half the systems on the list. We only list measured numbers, not peak numbers because they can be very misleading.
IDGNS: Would you ever take power efficiency into consideration when you decide who has the best-performing system?
Strohmaier: No, we rank things by size, so you need something that grows with the size of the object. Density is a feature of the product but it doesn't tell you anything about its size.
What we envision to do is maybe have an adjustment to the performance-based ranking which takes these other features of a machine into consideration, like power consumption and memory utilization. But using only power efficiency is the wrong way to go. It's an additional piece of information that is becoming important but it doesn't define what a supercomputer is.
IDGNS: Would that become a secondary list that takes power and memory consumption into consideration?
Strohmaier: It would be secondary yes. We'd always keep for tradition and for comparison the list of the biggest systems, but there might be a button on the home page where you could reorder by something like power or memory utilization, depending on what's important it is for you.

City department director receives local government credential
City of Kansas City, Mo., General Services Department Director Gerald Smith recently received the Credentialed Manager designation from the International City/County Management Association. Smith is one of more than 1,000 local government professionals credentialed through the voluntary process.
To receive the designation, association members must have significant experience as a senior management executive in local government, have earned a degree, preferably in public administration or a related field, and demonstrated a commitment to high standards of integrity and to lifelong learning and professional development.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A colorful landscape is a thing of beauty to enjoy with your eyes, but it should also appeal to your other senses.
Melinda Myers says sweet autumn clematis bursts into bloom each fall, creating a beautiful and fragrant welcome to visitors. She says the buzzing of the bees adds to the enjoyment.
The fragrant flowers of the fall blooming bugbane add a bit of sweet perfume to a shade garden. The rustle of the tree leaves, ornamental grasses, and wind chimes add another dimension of enjoyment.
The soft fuzzy leaves of lambs' ears beg to be petted and a pot of scented geraniums releases a fragrance with each petting.
Garlic chives brighten the late summer and fall garden and can be used to add a light garlic flavor to your favorite dishes. The fragrant leaves, flowers and even seeds are edible. You may need to contain and deadhead to keep the aggressive plant in bounds.

Comments about Womens New Balance Go 2 Long Sleeve No Zip Technical Tops:
Disappointed in the fit. I ordered the same shirt a while back and this one is very snug compared to the first one. And no I didn't gain any weight:-) I would warn others about the sizing.
