The photo needs proper color correction as has been done to many photos of Mars. The "red" planet is actually not that "red" and the skies are silver blue.

Due to high dust content in the atmosphere, stars are not visible from the martian surface.

Most likely computer-generated, not a real pic. It seems unlikely to me that you'd be able to see 3 planets but not see any stars.

This picture is a fake as can be seen from the "NE" tag in the bottom left corner, which comes from a 'planetarium software' such as Stellarium.
- Saturday, August 11, 2012 8:12:00 AM
There appears to be at least two stars ... on in the upper right corner of the image and another about the third of the way above the horizon on the right side.

I live in the city where it is common to only see the light from Saturn Jupiter and Mars while all of the stars are blocked from light pollution. I don't see why it wouldn't be the same as on mars.

yep, nice sentiment, but this IS a planetarium picture.. so it is fake. Read: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/08/10/an-unreal-mars-skyline/
and see the NE in the corner etc.
There ARE real pics from Mars... see next comment. Why do we need fake when the real is there. Something like SciFi movies have sound in space because it's more fun? ??? Let's keep it with reality, that is fantastic and wonderful enough! -- Ellen from Ontario Canada

And where, pray tell, would all that light pollution on Mars be coming from? There sure are a lot of cities on Mars, ain't there now.

Yea, cuz there's so much light pollution on Mars, LOL

The image is clearly captured at sunset, so as on Earth it's entirely expected that only the brightest (closest) celestial objects would be visible to the eye or a standard optical camera.
You can see this on earth most nights if looking at the right portion of the sky. You will have a view of planets and the ISS well before the star filed becomes visible.

Sorry - not real. Bummer, I know. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/08/10/an-unreal-mars-skyline/

The problem with this photo is the order in which the planets occur. Vague possibility that Earth and Venus may be seen in the same photo but definitely not with Venus occuring larger than Earth but common sense indicates that you would not see Jupiter in the same photo unless it was time-lapse (also unlikely) Jupiter is farther out and would not be visible in the dawn or dusk periods. Far too much wrong for this to be a real photo.
- Wednesday, August 15, 2012 2:22:00 PM
Actually, from the top down, it is Earth, Venus, and Jupiter. If you have the program Celestia, you can go to Mars and see the configuration yourself.
- Friday, August 24, 2012 11:53:00 AM
Walk outside right before the sun comes up and all you'll see in the sky is Venus and Jupiter right on top of eachother until well after all the other stars are all invisible. I look at them often. However, if Earth were that bright and this were real, wouldn't the moon also be visible at this time? I imagine that varies greatly depending on the distance between Earth and Mars, but if we could see Mercury from Earth sometimes, we could see the moon from Mars, if viewing conditions were the same.

- DJ Steevo said...
Actually if you know anything about orbital mechanics it is possible for Venus to appear larger and brighter than earth is the earth is on the opposite side of the sun from mars' perspective and venus is on the near side (from the same perspective. Jupiter would be in the picture as well as other orbital bodies for the same reason. As far as light pollution it is either a sunset or a sunrise picture just as we see venus and jupiter at dawn or dusk. The color balance is probably enhanced to give us the martian nuances cause its what we have come to know but that does not make it fake.
- Tuesday, January 21, 2014 3:37:00 PM
- DJ Steevo said...
Actually if you know anything about orbital mechanics it is very possible for that to be the correct order and as far as Venus appearing larger (brighter) this is also feasible if earth (from mars perspective) is on the opposite side of the sun with Venus perpendicular on the plane of the ecliptic. In that case Venus would be closer to mars than earth and vis a vie "larger". Same with Jupiter of course. As for earlier comments as a photographer I can say that yes the color balance was probably enhanced to give a more martianesque appearance but that is only to make it familiar to the science challenged masses. However enhancing a photo does not make the subject fake or can we just go ahead and assume that Gisele Bundchen doesn't exist either....

Animal welfare workers are raising the alarm over a disturbing case of abuse.
Four Cullman County boys were charged for stealing and torturing a goat, then throwing it off of a bridge.
Studies show that violence against animals is sort of a training ground for future violence against people. Not all kids who abuse animals abuse people later in life, but most adults who are violent criminals were abusive with animals when they were young.
The reasons four West Point boys stole a farmers goat, tortured it and threw it off of a Cullman County bridge is unknown, but investigators say a video the boys made of what they did upset classmates who told authorities about it.
Carol Wicks, the director of Decatur Animal Services said adults need to take abuse like this seriously because when children harm animals, it can become worse as they get older.
"Talk to the children so they don't believe it's acceptable and go forward in life with the idea of 'if I'm not happy or I want to act out, it's okay to take it out on something that is smaller and weaker than me.' Because sooner or later, what is smaller and weaker will be a child," said Wicks.
The four teenage boys in Cullman County are being handled through the juvenile justice system.
They do face a felony charge for stealing the goat. The abuse of the goat is a misdemeanor.

We're also big on prints and louche shapes via languid Summer maxi dresses and floral printed trousers. Additionally, a few Summer basics, like a cute gingham top and old-school-inspired bikini, also made the cut. Click now to see and shop all of our May must haves. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I'm newly obsessed with shoe designer Chrissie Morris . . . she makes bold, sexy shoes that are a big investment, but they're the kind of investment that makes you smile for years and years." — Noria Morales, style director Chrissie Morris Farrah Platform Sandal ($1,013) 1 / 20 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "After months of patiently waiting, these navy and striped pants are finally available for purchase.

|A Penny For Your Thoughts
By Nancy Whitaker
I have always loved going to Shipshewana and visiting the flea market. The drive is a pretty scenic route and I love traveling through Amish country.
The morning sun was bright and beautiful when leaving Ohio, but, as usual, there was a call for possible rain showers. The drive to Shipshewana took about 1-1/2 hours by the time a stop was made for some breakfast.
When we got closer to the Ligonier area, we began to see a lot of Amish farms, buggies and horses. There were clothes hanging on the clotheslines, men in the fields plowing with horses and children were tending to the gardens.

The ensō, or "circle," is perhaps the most enduring motif in the Zen tradition, one that first appears in Japanese monasteries in the mid-1600s. The Zen circle is not a linguistic character, but rather a symbol that conveys a host of things — the universe, the cyclical nature of existence, enlightenment, strength, and poised contemplation. It suggests the Heart Sutra, which explains that "form is void and void is form" ... [27]Like Pixar in Emeryville, Apple in Cupertino exemplifies a light phenomenology. It's Zen kitsch. Jobs's Zen postmodernism, of which Foster's building is an embodiment, acts upon the world through process, intervening in a cybernetic cycle for which the record of historical struggle is but a dysfunctional footnote. In sharp contrast, the tragic postmodernism of Koolhaas and the CCTV feels jagged, a beauty of terribilità.
If you love your Mac and iPod, you can still despise CDOs and credit-default swaps. Jobs's genius — in the words of Regis McKenna, a Silicon Valley marketing executive who worked with him early on— was his ability "to strip away the excess layers of business, design, and innovation until only the simple, elegant reality remained." The supposed genius of modern Wall Street is the exact reverse, piling on excess layers of business and innovation on ever thinner and more exotic creations until simple reality is distorted and obscured.The paradox was also understood, more viscerally, by that bellwether of campus humor, The Onion:
Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Computers and the only American in the country who had any clue what the fuck he was doing, died Wednesday at the age of 56. "We haven't just lost a great innovator, leader, and businessman, we've literally lost the only person in this country who actually had his shit together and knew what the hell was going on," a statement from President Barack Obama read in part, adding that Jobs will be remembered both for the life-changing products he created and for the fact that he was able to sit down, think clearly, and execute his ideas — attributes he shared with no other U.S. citizen.Sit down, think clearly, and execute ideas: this is what draws students to design in a postmodern age, yes? "Obama added" (according to The Onion) "that if anyone could fill the void left by Jobs it would probably be himself, but said that at this point he honestly doesn't have the slightest notion what he's doing anymore."
Like many named places in California it was less an identifiable city than a grouping of concepts — census tracts, special purpose bond-issue distracts, shopping nuclei, all overlaid with access roads to its own freeway ... a plinth course of capital on which everything afterward had been built, however rickety or grotesque, toward the sky. ... she thought of the first time she'd opened a transistor radio to replace a battery and seen her first printed circuit. The ordered swirl of houses and streets ... sprang at her now with the same unexpected, astonishing clarity as the circuit card had. ... there were to both outward patterns a hieroglyphic sense of concealed meaning, of an intent to communicate. ... [A] revelation ... trembled just beyond the threshold of her understanding ... she and the Chevy seemed parked at the center of an odd, religious instant. [36]

WACO (AP) -- A Central Texas man is in custody after an infant in his care was found to have swallowed a severe amount of alcohol.
The Waco Tribune-Herald reports that the mother of the infant returned from work to find her child not responding normally. William Webb told the mother the baby was just tired.
At the hospital, the baby was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.291 percent -- nearly four times the legal limit for drivers 21 and over.
A bottle of vodka was found on a coffee table at the home where Webb was watching the baby. It's unclear how the baby may have ingested the alcohol. The baby was placed in intensive care.
Webb is being held on $14,000 bond and could not be reached.

AA-English Composition and AA-English Literature
The associate of arts degree in English enables students to build a solid foundation for bachelor and graduate degrees in the English discipline. Both concentrations prepare students for the pursuit of higher degrees by giving students written communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills through the concentrated English classes and general requirements for the associate of arts.
The composition concentration exposes students to various types of written communication, from creative writing to grant writing. The literature concentration offers students the opportunity to study an array of different literature courses, such as Introduction to Shakespeare and Women's Literature.
Both English degree concentrations require a minimum of 60 credit hours. All students must earn the minimum credit subtotal in English composition, social and behavioral sciences, arts and humanities, sciences, and mathematics.
For additional information about the associate of arts degrees in English, contact Beth Williams at 330-494-6170, ext. 4148 or email@example.com.

ARLINGTON — Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz is sending lifesaving help to his home town.
Cruz hails from a Dominican Republic town that is rich in beauty, but its people are poor.
And with poverty comes danger.
"I have a friend that, because we don't have fire trucks there, his house just burned... completely," Cruz said. "And there is no hospital. If you get sick and don't have a car, people can die waiting. It's sad, but it happens."
A couple of years ago, Cruz said he began dreaming of buying a fire truck for his home town, but he didn't know how to make it happen.
He began to talk with teammates and other people in the clubhouse. His request finally made it to the Arlington Fire Department.
They searched and found a truck at an auction house in Minnesota. It isn't brand new, but it is perfect for what is needed, said Arlington Assistant Fire Chief David Carroll.
"They can't have a new apparatus there; the new ones are all computerized and have all the new equipment on them, and they really can't work on them down there," Carroll explained.
Cruz spent $20,000 to purchase the truck, a 1988 vehicle with 10,000 on the odometer. Donations from other foundations helped paint it and refurbish it.
Cruz's number 17 is painted on the side.
On Wednesday, his home town fire chief will be at the Ballpark in Arlington to get the keys. He will also get two ambulances donated by AMR, which provides emergency services in Arlington.
The equipment will then be shipped to the Dominican Republic.
"I'm blessed to be able to help people," Cruz said. "It is going to change and save lives."
"Nelson is a very generous person," Carroll added. "We're just glad he included us in this project."

1207 West 28th Street
little Rock, Arkansas
November 21, 1962
Mr. Robert Cromie
Chicago Tribune
Chicago 11, IL
Dear Mr. Cromie:
Thanks for the clipping of October 28, 1962 of the
review of "The Long Shadow of Little Rock" by Mr.
Charles Purvis.
Mr. Purvis pointed out that "Mrs. Bates seems not to
have any room for tolerance of white persons nor under-
standing that they also have faced many of the diffi-
culties she wants cleared from the Negroes' path."
I am well aware of the hardships suffered by the many
whites who stand up for what they believe is right, as
I pointed out in Chapter 14 - "White Casualties."
I am also accutely aware that the number of whites who
are willing to speak out against racial discrimination
is far too small not only in the South but throughout
Please inform Mr. Purvis that I appreciate his review
and convey to him my warmest thoughts.
Daisy Bates (Mrs.)

UN Security Council and US Senate Pass Resolutions on the Prevention of Genocide
Both resolutions commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide and call on states to recommit themselves to the prevention of and fight against genocide and other serious atrocity crimes.
Museum Launches Initiative to Examine International Responses to Genocide
The Museum has released previously unpublished material about a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the 1994 Rwandan genocide as part of new project that examines the massive failure of the international community to stop one of the most horrifying and brutal episodes of mass violence that the world has seen since the Holocaust.
Sixty-Five Years Later: The UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide
Sixty-five years ago today, in the wake of the Holocaust, the UN General Assembly adopted its first-ever human rights treaty. The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide obliges signatories to prevent genocide—defined as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group—and to punish the perpetrators when it occurs.
Detecting Human Rights Violations with Satellites: CPG Fellow Proposes a New Approach
Satellite imagery is often used to verify reports of a mass human rights violation, such as the destruction of a village in a remote or inaccessible area, and current practice is generally reactive and costly. While serving as a Fellow of the Museum's Center for the Prevention of Genocide, Dr. Andrew Marx tested a more proactive and cost-effective approach to using satellite imagery to detect mass human rights violations.
The Responsibility to Protect: From Words to Action
A new report authored by former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and former Presidential Special Envoy to Sudan Richard S. Williamson examines how to realize the promise of the Responsibility to Protect and more effectively use this tool to prevent genocide and mass atrocities.
White House Delivers Update on Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention Efforts
As the fact sheet illustrates, preventing the world's worst crimes requires a broad set of policies and actions.
UN Approves Arms Trade Treaty
In a landmark agreement, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which seeks to keep weapons out of the hands of would-be perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity, or other war crimes.
Is Genocide in Syria's Future?
In June 2012, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum expressed grave concern about the escalating violence in Syria and warned that the increasingly sectarian nature of that violence could, if unchecked, lead to genocide.
EU Releases Prevention of Mass Atrocities Assessment
The Task Force on the European Union Prevention of Mass Atrocities delivered its assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the EU's ability to respond to mass atrocities. This effort in many ways parallels the work of the Museum co-sponsored Genocide Prevention Task Force (GPTF), which in 2008 put forward a blueprint for U.S. policymakers to detect, prevent and respond to genocide and mass atrocities.
Museum Hosts Expert Panel on Incitement and Free Speech
The Museum co-sponsored a panel discussion about how to address inflammatory language with policies and practices that do not infringe on free speech.

FGCU Men's Cross Country Announces Recruiting Class
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Head Coach Cassandra Goodson and the Florida Gulf Coast University men's cross country program announced the impending arrival of three new recruits for the 2009-10 running season on Wednesday.
Jonathan Lanning, Dillon McGee, and John Zurek will all enter FGCU as freshmen in the fall of 2009.
"We are really excited about the additions we have made this offseason," said head coach Cassandra Goodson. "These freshmen should make an immediate impact on the team"
This class features:
Sarasota County Cross Country champion (2007, 2008). Sarasota County 1600m and 800m champion. Cross Country Regional runner up. A FHSAA All State runner. Two regional qualifiers (Track). Three District champions.

Lanning is also the second ranked senior boy in the State of Florida on Mile Split US. He finished just three seconds shy of the number one senior boy in the cross country 5000m. He has also earned Mile Split US First Team Elite honors. Lanning's resume also includes a cross country runner up finish in 2008, FSHAA All State honors, 1600m and 800m champion, the Sarasota High School record holder in the 5k and 1600m, and team MVP honors in both his junior and senior year.

Wii U's online gaming and 'Miiverse' outlined, including video chat and web client
One of the biggest open questions in Nintendo's Wii U strategy has been its online component. The company has wasted no time in outlining some key aspects of its connected feature set in a pre-E3 presentation. In the (painfully-over-the-top cheesy) video demonstration, after dying in a nondescript Wii U survival horror game, the player selects his mood on the Gamepad and sends out a message to a forum generally commenting and asking for advice on beat a level. His friend sees the cry for help via his smartphone, in what we're assuming is a web-based client. (If anyone saw the Super Guide feature in New Super Mario Bros Wii, this looks vaguely familiar.) It's worth noting that he never seems to fully leaves the game, re-entering at the very same moment he paused.
The demo then cuts to the player actually calling up another forum member to video chat for advice. It's hard to tell if the forum member is already a friend of the player or a complete stranger; we assume the former, but if it is a stranger, this would mark a big change from Nintendo's high-security, more privacy-focused "Mii Friend Code" system for the Wii. We also question the convenience of this how-to system in-game over, say, using your nearby laptop or smartphone.
"We consider the small screen of the Wii U as a social window."
Miis are set to offer expanded functionality in Nintendo's next-generation hardware. When you turn on the Wii U, what pops up is a huge crowd of Mii characters from your system, from your friends' systems, and reportedly from people in the same country (or who speak the same language) playing similar games. It's something that CEO Satoru Iwata said the developers had initially nicknamed "Mii Wara Wara," from the Japanese word "warawara" (loosely translated to mean "bustling" or the general noise and commotion created by such a crowd). Collectively, however, the area is known as "Miiverse" (aka "Mii universe"). The Mii characters gather around the games they are playing, and related messages will pop up on the screen. Messages can be typed out or even sketched à la Draw Something or similar apps.
Developers will have access to some form of Miiverse API, allowing them to include elements within the games themselves. Iwata noted that it can all be relegated to the Wii U Gamepad controller itself, something he calls the "Social Window" connecting player to player, living room to living room.
Finally, the preview also highlighted the Wii U's web browser, and the system's ability to "throw" web content from the Gamepad to a TV screen, where users can use a virtual "curtain" to make a more dramatic reveal to friends. Yes, really.
Admittedly, the full scope of online functionality isn't entirely clear at this point, but Nintendo still has its official press conference scheduled for Tuesday morning, just before the doors open for E3 — we should have more information as the week continues.
Chris Welch contributed to this report.

Vt. man denies horse cruelty chargeThe Associated Press | January 29,2013SHELBURNE - A Shelburne man has pleaded not guilty to one count of animal cruelty after three horses were seized from his home.
Sixty-three-year-old George Wilson, a former newsman at WCAX-TV in South Burlington, says authorities overreacted and he plans to contest the charge.
A stallion and two mares are being cared for at Spring Hill Horse Rescue in Clarendon after officials said the horses were found in small, dark stalls, standing in manure and surrounded by the remains of deceased horses.
A judge on Tuesday dropped a charge against Wilson's wife, 64-four-year-old Ann Gilbreth, saying he could not find probable cause because the police affidavit did not show that she also owned the horses.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and...

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- The National Park Service expects visits to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to rebound, now that U.S. 441 has been restored on the North Carolina side.
April visits were down 14.6 percent, compared with April 2012. Park officials said that was off nearly 109,000 people from the year before and 11.9 percent below the five-year average for April.
On April 15, the highway -- also known as Newfound Gap Road -- was opened after almost 90 days of closure due to a landslide.
With the road again open between Gatlinburg, Tenn., and Cherokee, N.C., park officials anticipate a return to historic visitation numbers during the remainder of the year.

We've already talked about the Baltimore Ravens are capable of beating the New England Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship game despite being big underdogs. Their defense is elite and they're capable of doing what few teams can do and that's rattle Tom Brady.
That said, the Patriots are 9-point favorites for a reason. SB Nation's Patriots blog, Pats Pulpit, predicts a New England victory (as did I) noting that, while the Pats give up a ton of yards, the defense is efficient enough when it counts. We asked Pats Pulpit why the Patriots are capable of winning this game, and why they're capable of losing.
Why The Patriots Can Win: The Patriots have a great chance to win this game because of the pure fire that's going around the locker room. Urgency may not be the best word, but the entire team has been swept up and are ready and willing to fight together. The overall vibe: they're loose and they're riding for something greater than the team.
From a football standpoint, the Ravens may not have the answer to defending Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, while the Ravens will have to hope lightning strikes twice at the same place with a big day from Ray Rice. The Patriots defense has found its stride in recent weeks and they were actually the best second half defense in the league for the last nine games of the season as only one team scored more than seven points. If the Patriots can get to halftime with a lead, they can run away with the game.
Why The Patriots Can Lose: Ray Rice and Torrey Smith. The Patriots were last in the league for home run plays allowed (i.e.: plays of 20-plus yards) and it wasn't even close. While the Patriots defense was efficient -- you could count the touchdowns from those large plays on your hands -- the Patriots have to limit any opportunity the Ravens have at getting an easy score. If the Ravens get an easy score, then the game will be a dog fight.

This is a very different kind of WFNY podcast. As opposed to when we talk Cleveland sports current events instead this time I grabbed Brian Spaeth to talk about whatever came up. Brian is an Internet staple and he has tons of projects out there that are worthy of promotion, so here goes… First and foremost you can find him on Twitter and you can also check out his website / Blog Brian23.com. You can subscribe to Brian's podcast on iTunes. You can watch the kids Youtube show Turtlecalls that I did with Brian as well. Probably most importantly, if you want to read Brian's most recent book you can find it at Amazon. Man that's a lot of stuff, but all of it worthy of checking out.

i'm going to start this fanpost by pointing out that i'm a bills fan. i'm also going to say that i've watched the jets for years, and root for them when they don't play buffalo =)
as many people saw in yesterday's game, James Ihedigbo (and another player, whose name escapes me) got into a tussle with bills' starting TE derek fine. ihedigbo threw a punch, which was (in my opinion) possibly the worst single decision of the day by any player on either team. this is saying something considering the poor quality of play on both sides of the ball for both teams. the penalty cost the team fifteen yards, and was directly responsible for giving the bills good field position late in the game.
what should be done about him? i know he was ejected, which was a good call in a game that was extremely poorly officiated. do you think he should be fined, or possibly even cut from the team? i don't think i'm going out on a limb when i say that the jets are a smash-mouth football team, but that's taking the method and turning it into a bit of madness, don't you think?
so, discuss. what should the jets do about Ihedigbo? and, beyond that, what should be done - in terms of coaching, t-rex and elsewhere - to prevent that from happening again?

DALLAS — Democrats swept every race in which they competed in Dallas County for the fourth year in a row on Tuesday.
Sheriff Lupe Valdez earned 58 percent of the vote, and Tax Assessor-Collector John Ames got almost 60 percent of the vote.
Theresa Daniel now has a seat at Commissioners Court, beating her Republican rival with 62 percent of the vote.
Embattled County Commissioner John Wiley Price — who is currently under federal investigation — won handily with 71 percent of the vote.
Democratic judges Eric Moye and Ken Molberg both ran unopposed and will return to the bench.
Dallas County Democrats exploded in cheers, tears, and hugs as President Obama's campaign won enough electoral votes for a second term.
"The feeling that I feel right now, I'm just like 'Wow! Another four years!,'" said Democrat Avis Keelen.
The local party prepared for about 600 supporters inside a ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion. But many more than that number showed up, cautiously optimistic early on, that their candidate would remain in the White House.
"The enthusiasm we talked about that would be shown after we got across the goal line... that enthusiasm is here just as it was in 2008," explained State Sen. Royce West, (D-Dallas).
Vendors couldn't keep Obama campaign buttons in stock at the Democratic watch party. They even sold out of surplus ones they still had from four years ago.
But as confident as Dallas Democrats were on Tuesday night, Sen. West conceded that the party has a long way to go on the state level.
Republicans continue to dominate those offices, winning again decisively.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — The Indiana University Kokomo fitness center project – scheduled to wrap up yet this summer – received a substantial boost from longtime campus supporter Solidarity Community Federal Credit Union.
The local credit union gave $25,000 to the Milt and Jean Cole Family Fitness and Wellness Center. It also established a $3,000 scholarship to be given to an incoming freshman each year.
Interim Chancellor Susan Sciame-Giesecke accepted both gifts from Jeff McComas, president and CEO of Solidarity Community Federal Credit Union, and Diana Tenbrook, vice president of marketing.
"I can't thank Jeff and Diana enough for their support of the IU Kokomo campus," she said. "They are both great champions of education and student success. Solidarity's support of the Cole Fitness Center provides a much needed workout facility on campus, and the scholarship will make an IU Kokomo education affordable for new students for years to come. We also appreciate their ongoing support for our athletic programs. They came on board and believed in us from the beginning. They are one reason we were able to build a quality athletic program so quickly."
Solidarity has partnered with the campus on a wide variety of projects, including providing internships for students for the last three years and mentoring members of the Enactus student organization. The credit union also has sponsored practice gear and printed schedules for Cougar Athletics and supported the New Professionals Conference, the Dress for Success event, recycling projects, Microsoft Word training sessions, Homecoming and the Homecoming carnival and kids' nights at volleyball and basketball games. Solidarity also provided $500 Escape Debt scholarships with Enactus.
"When I look at the long list of their contributions, it's hard to find a suitable way to say thank you," Sciame-Giesecke said.
McComas is pleased to support the campus mission.
"Our philosophy is to be a viable partner to our community in every aspect 'fiscally, socially and emotionally,'" he said. "We truly want to commend IU Kokomo for offering an outstanding curriculum of degree programs. We look forward to a long and fulfilling partnership for many years to come."
The wellness and fitness center will be a 20,000 square-foot facility. Amenities include a jogging and walking track, cardio and strength training area, two multipurpose rooms, a health studies classroom, lockers rooms and a reception area.

Writing AMD Modules Using amdefine on Node.js
amdefine lets you write AMD modules [1] that also work on Node.js. To do so, you need to perform the following steps:James Burke's npm module Published at DZone with permission of Axel Rauschmayer, author and DZone MVB. (source)
- Install amdefine:
npm install amdefineOptional: install into your project by making it a dependency in your package.json.
- Prefix your AMD with the following line (split into three lines below):
if (typeof define !== 'function') { var define = require('amdefine')(module) }That line will be removed when packaging your AMDs for deployment via the RequireJS optimizer.
If you don't want to force Node.js users of your module to install amdefine, there are alternatives [2] for writing AMDs that also work on Node.js. But they have other disadvantages.

We hear the prospect of a long-term future in the desert is looking dim for OLT Levi Brown. The former first-rounder continued his knack for breaking down in pass protection in Arizona's season opener, yielding a pair of early sacks to Panthers DE Charles Johnson. With the Cardinals not having any better options at present, Brown appears safe this season. "But there is no doubt left tackle will be a major need addressed in the draft and free agency next offseason," said one team insider. "Levi's cap number goes sky-high in 2012, and I would be very surprised if he sticks around. He's a decent run blocker, but his pass blocking is just not what you'd expect from a player drafted fifth overall. His technique with both his hands and feet is suspect. You feel bad criticizing him because he's such a good guy." Word is the team could also consider moving ORT Brandon Keith to the left side. "Keith has the athletic ability to play there," the insider said.

By 2020, information and communications technology (ICT) could slash carbon emissions globally by 15 percent, equal to 7.8 gigatons, while reducing energy spending by $300 billion. Keynote speaker Molly Webb, head of strategic engagement at The Climate Group, cited those figures here at GreenNet 2010 in San Francisco, drawing on a study conducted by the group "Smart 2020: Enabling the low-carbon economy in the Information Age."
Notably, the report was released back in 2008, but the numbers remain both relevant and conceivable in light of the progress we've seen worldwide in sustainable IT. The study asserts that in order to fully realize the potential gains of sustainable ICT initiatives, organizations need to embrace tools for monitoring progress, to find ways to hold entities (users, departments, branches, and so on) accountable for their emissions, and to rethink and transform themselves to fully integrate green tools and practices. Organizations that have embraced these types of strategies have made significant green gains.

Key to understanding just how huge an impact IT can have on cutting energy waste and saving money is understanding that green IT is not limited to products. Technologies such as energy-efficient hardware, virtualization software, and PC power management, for example, are part of the puzzle.
However, if you've followed the InfoWorld Green 15 award winners over the past three years, you'll see just how significantly ICT, combined with monitoring, accountability, and cultural shifts, can help companies achieve sustainability goals well beyond the data center and desktop projects we honored in 2008.
Jump ahead to 2009 and 2010, and you'll see how organizations have put ICT to work in innovative, creative ways. Logistics management software, GPS and wireless technology, and asset-tracking systems are helping organizations of all sizes streamline their supply chains, resulting in considerable reductions in fuel consumption, vehicular wear and tear, and other forms of waste.

The CX302DDWT Whole House Fan will ventilate 2000 to 3000 square feet (on one story only) and provides a great alternative to cooling your home compared to a traditional air conditioner. Whole house fans draw air in through the windows and exhaust it through the attic. If air conditioning is installed, it can be turned off any time the outside temperature is at or below the desired temperature in the home. Since it is just a fan and not a refrigerant-based air conditioning unit, it is much more cost effective to run, costing as little as 1/10th as much to operate compared traditional air conditioning. Whole house fans are also a great addition to homes with evaporative coolers to provide added air circulation.
Standard Features:
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).

One of our customers was seeing big problems with their MySQL based website, The load on the database server would shoot up, associated by a rise in the number of slow queries being logged and their website would come to a grinding halt. Initially, I suspected that the queries coming up in the slow query log were causing the database server load and slowing down the rest of the site. However, these queries which were taking 3-7s to run during the problem, would normally take 0.20s to run and would check about 50k rows.

Well, who would have thought it would be so difficult to get rails running on OpenSolaris. I wanted to quickly work up a new project in rails and have ended up spending a half hour getting rails running. Hopefully I can save someone else some time...
First, make sure ruby is installed:
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWruby18
This will install rubygems as well, BUT, on my first time round, I got to running rails and found out that:
Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.1 (you have 0.9.4). Please `gem update --system` and try again.
Managing resources in VMware
This presentation should be viewed by anyone who is setting up a VMware server where the virtual servers require guaranteed access to resources:
This is useful to implement VPS's for customers, for example...
GDM beep for OpenSolaris login
I finally got sick of OpenSolaris beeping at me when GDM started. The fix ended up being easy. Just run
pfexec /usr/sbin/gdmsetup to lauch the GDM configurator, go the Accessibility tab and remove the tick from "Login screen ready" under Sounds.
Generating site maps for Google
To make sure my sites were going to get indexed by Google I wanted to add a site map. I found the drupal XML Sitemap module installed and generated a site map. Easy. However, afterwards I installed Pathauto and regenerated all of my content paths. So now my site map didn't match. No worries, I'll just head over to the XML Sitemap modeule and regenerate - but no! No such option.
OpenSolaris upgrade to snv_97
I just upgraded to snv_97 everything went fine in the upgrade until the final step where the new boot environment didn't want to activate:
beadm: Unable to activate opensolaris-5
Having a look here suggested that I might want to get rid of some older boot environments. So here they are:
jeffw@suburbia:~$ beadm list

Wireless under OpenSolaris
I'm still having issues with my wireless under opensolaris. I've started a thread on the opensolaris forums, so hopefully someone with more ideas than me will be able to help.
As per the thread, it appears that the wpa client thinks something is disabled.
Images in Drupal
Just updating one of my drupal sites, ScanClub WA. I needed to update the favicon and let the users add some images to the pages. So here are some useful links:
To convert images to icons, try Bradicon.

Benchmarking the http server up and coming
Being a little frustrated by the unwieldy beast that is apache, I am wanting to try out some of the sexy new http servers about town, namely cherokee, lighttpd and nginx. So to work out which I like better I'm going to set up and then benchmark the following:
- a drupal site
- a ruby on rails site
- both running under fastcgi as a designated user for that site
- test with and without a database backend
- test primarily on OpenSolaris. Maybe compare to Linux.
