Christine Kenney, a triathlete who works the equity capital markets execution desk at Citigroup (C) in Manhattan, starts every morning at work with a bowl of low-fat yogurt, honey, and a heap of chia seeds. Throughout the day she subsists on chia snack bars. "It's better for my job because I'm not supposed to be off the desk very much," she says, noting how she's gotten most of the co-workers from her desk hooked on the seeds. "There's other seeds out there that are nutritious, but this is the best. It's the alpha seed." Among Wall Street's trading desks and bullpens, chia seeds are becoming the stimulant of choice. Healthier than coffee, cheaper (and obviously more legal) than cocaine, and less juvenile than a 5-hour Energy drink, chia has undergone a total metamorphosis from 1980s punchline (Chia Pet's "ch-ch-ch-chia" jingle still haunts Gen Xers) to superfood.

Villa Mecklin by Huttunen Lipasti Pakkanen Architects
Created with friends of Helsinki-based team Risto Huttunen, Santeri Lipasti, Pekka Pakkanen, the house was built at a leisurely pace, and thus they were able to study the construction details and develop them on site, sometimes while fishing, having a sauna or relaxing during the evenings. Also the place itself stands for relaxed atmophere amidst the shelter of the narrow zone of trees and its sheltered terrace extending over the summit of the rock. Simple and perfect place for summer getaway.
"Villa Mecklin has mainly been a self-build project. The rocky northern cape of Mustaluoto Island shelters a boat marina on its eastern side. On the west-facing plot there are tall trees growing in the humus that has gathered in a narrow rock crevice. Otherwise the surroundings consist of exposed rock and low vegetation: moss, grasses, heather and juniper bushes.
One arrives from the harbour to the entrance of the main building sheltered by the trees. After a descent of a couple of steps, the expansive landscape of the western shore, with its long vistas, unfolds. A fireplace has been sunk into the centre of the large terrace, accessed via a hatch in the decking. When the fire is not lit and the hatch is in place, it is possible to use the whole terrace as, for example, a dance floor. In connection with the shoreline sauna, there is also a stove-heated cabin for guests."

Prosecutor: Convicted killer Spader 'chose' to be evil
Prosecutor Jeffery Strelzin, the state's top homocide prosecutor, called convicted killer Steven Spader a "psychopath ... who has no regard for anybody else's life." (FILE PHOTO)
But it wasn't the system, or his parents, that failed Steven Spader and turned him into someone who would murder a woman in her bed with a machete and maim her young daughter, the state's top homicide prosecutor says.
"He's a psychopath," Jeffery Strelzin said of Spader, now 21, who was convicted of killing Kimberly Cates in her Mont Vernon home in 2009 and the attempted murder of her then-11-year-old daughter.
And that's the only explanation for why Spader and his friend Christopher Gribble were able to commit such a horrific crime "and to show no remorse except for the fact that they were caught," Strelzin said.
Last week, a judge granted a request by the New Hampshire Union Leader to unseal court documents in the Spader case, including depositions by his parents, Steven and Christine Spader, who adopted Steven when he was 5 days old.
Asked whether the system failed the Spader family, Strelzin said, "No. Because this is a case of someone who made a conscious decision to go out and randomly attack and kill innocent people.
"So he was well-equipped to make rational and certainly logical and legal decisions. And he chose not to."
He understands the public's need to "give order to disorder," Strelzin said.
"Nobody wants to accept that often the simple answer is that somebody chose to do a terrible thing," he said. "They came from a good family and nobody saw it coming. Because that thought is very uncomfortable."
"And even though you treat them very well and you equip them with what you hope are the right skills they need to make the right decisions, they can still choose not to."
"They don't care about other people, and unfortunately they took great satisfaction in inflicting pain and mayhem on innocent people. It gave them a sense of power and pleasure. That's who they are."
"Yes," Strelzin said at once. It's why the killers chose their victims at random, making it less likely they would be caught, he said. And it's why, while they disposed of their bloody clothing in a river after the murder, they buried their weapons "so they could use them again."
There were echoes in the Mont Vernon case of another horrific crime committed by a pair of teenage boys: the murder of Dartmouth College professors Half and Susanne Zantop in 2001.
"Similar weapons were used, cutting instruments. ... Knives in the Hanover case, and here (in Mont Vernon), you had a knife and a machete."
His impression of Spader? "He's just bad right to the core."
Geraghty said it was in part the randomness of the crime that shook so many across the state.
"People went and got dogs. People went and got guns. People put bars on their windows. It just struck home."
Each year, David Cates holds a golf tournament on the anniversary of the attack, for a scholarship in his wife's name. "To take back the date," Geraghty said.
To this day, Strelzin keeps a photo of Kim, David and Jaimie Cates on his desk. It's a measure of how deeply this case touched him.
As a prosecutor, he said, "you can never make it right in a murder case, because the victim's gone forever and there's nothing you can do.''
For the families of murder victims, he said, the case will never really be over. "Because every birthday, every holiday, every significant event, is just a reminder that your ... loved ones are gone.
"That's not something everyday life equips you to deal with," he said. "And when you meet these families, you see what the lasting effects are."

Exploring Network Effects of Point-to-Point Networks: An Investigation of the Spatial Entry Patterns of Southwest Airlines
AbstractThis paper explores network effects in Point-to-Point airline networks by examining the spatial entry patterns of Southwest airlines during the 1990-2006 period. Estimation results from a spatial probit model reveal clear spatial dependence in profitability across different routes served by the carrier. Detailed investigation suggests two main sources of network effects, namely: (1) airport and regional presence, and (2) substitutability of markets. Findings of the paper suggest also that the network effects embedded in Southwest's Point-to-Point network have many distinguishing features as compared to those identified in a typical Hub-and-Spoke network. This study brings some fresh insights on airline network effects in general, as well as explaining the pattern of aggressive network expansions of LCCs in particular.

We love analogies. No matter what the topic, analogies are a great way to explain something in a different context to make a specific point with a frame of reference that may be more familiar to those we are making a point to. There is one that seems to come back over and over again in our industry, the one that compares the network to the power grid, network connections to power plugs. I had not heard it for a while but at Interop last week, I heard it used twice in booth demonstrations as part of plug and play pitches. And I really do not like that analogy.
The comparison to power comes from the angle of it just being there and available. Plug something in and it turns on. Its universal and it's simple, anyone can use it. It's highly standardized, you can buy bits and pieces that work together in any hardware store. It's reliable. You just get a bill each month, pay it, and in many places you can even pick your provider different from the owner of the cable that actually plugs into your house. It's all good, it's mostly invisible.
Except that all of these come with their own challenges. The overall power grid reliability is well below 99.99%. Across the US, the average outage minutes per year is hovering in the 2 hour range, in the Northeast almost double that. There are only very people I know that do not have a backup generator, just in case, and get to use it at least once a year, ignoring the smaller outages where we just live in the dark for a few minutes. It is very standardized, with plenty of standard variations from country to country, thank goodness for $30 converters. And the cost, well, it's rising faster than inflation (almost twice as fast in fact).
Now, this article is not meant to be a complaining session about power. When power works and you forget about the bill, it is very much invisible, which is the only piece of the analogy I do like, maybe.
Networks should be invisible, but not in the same sense power should be invisible. When comparing networks to power it always comes down to "it's just there, plentiful, accessible, and just works". And (not surprising), I think the network can do much better than "just be there". Networks need to migrate away from an entity that is architected, designed, implemented, managed and debugged separately from the applications it serves. Networks have to become an integral part of the application infrastructure.
Now, any two (or more) distinctly different entities need to be glued together. No different for applications, servers and networks. Applications are glued to servers by means of the OS. As a consumer of an application, or even an administrator, the amount of work you have to do to put these two together is (usually) fairy minimal. The creator of the OS has provided tons of hooks and tools to give the application what it needs, the application provides to and asks what it wants from the OS.
The glue between the server and the network is much harsher, much less refined. There is an expectation of matching configuration, very little is actually transacted between the two to get them to work together nicely. Yes there is DHCP and perhaps you can even count LLDP in that, but the amount of alignment of information between the two so they can work together seamlessly without human intervention is minimal. And if something is not quite working the way it should, you need heavily certified network engineers and tons of homegrown tools and scripts to figure out why. That is by no means a knock on network certifications (that is for @cloudtoad to comment on), but it should not be that hard. The exchange is extremely focused on data plane traffic for transportation, very little provisioning, debug and other feedback is exchanged and reacted to.
We need to get to a network that is invisible enough to allow you to create coarse provisioning policies created from application templates. There should be no need for me to configure individual ports and protocols on ports. There should be no need for me to configure how network components are tied together and provide optimized connectivity based on the needs of its customers. The network needs to provide debugging tools that interact with applications in feedback loops. It needs to provide enough details for orchestration systems to adjust their placement of apps. Or in Plexxi's case, take in information from orchestration systems to change the L1, L2 and L3 behavior of the network to the requested demand. And that orchestration system could be a specialized Hadoop controller or a far more generic cloud orchestrator.
The network needs to cease to exist as a separate entity, it needs to become an integrated part of the application infrastructure that uses its services. That's the kind of invisible we need to achieve.
[Today's Fun Fact: An Iranian man paid $500 to a wizard to become invisible. The man then walked into a bank and grabbed money from people's hands believing he was invisible. He was promptly arrested and convicted. Conclusion: pay more or pick a better wizard next time.]

County implementing 'Code Red' emergency alert system
Henrico County is implementing a new multi-faceted alert system that will warn residents of emergencies faster than its current system while saving the county about $50,000 a year.
The "Code Red" system, operated by a private company, will be able to send warning messages by phone, text and e-mail countywide or to specific groups of residents in certain geographic areas as warranted, Fire Chief Anthony McDowell told the Board of Supervisors during a work session Nov. 27.
The system will cost Henrico about $53,000 annually – about half of the $102,000 the county had been paying to maintain its existing system each year. Henrico officials have been operating the current system internally since 2007, using county data servers, phone lines and employee time to send phone, text and e-mail alerts as weather and public safety events necessitated, McDowell said.
But the system was becoming costly and inefficient. It had just about outgrown its four servers, which would have necessitated the purchase of new servers at a cost of about $30,000, he said. And reverse 911 calls could take hours to send out to all 132,000 land lines in the county because only 23 lines were available for use (down from 46 originally).
By contracting with Emergency Communications Network, LLC, those problems will be eliminated, McDowell said. The company will host all information on its servers in Florida, with three backup systems in place in other states. Phone calls and text and e-mail alerts will be sent out immediately through dedicated channels, ensuring that the county's messages won't have to wait in a queue behind those from other participating jurisdictions.
The Code Red system is able to distribute 50,000 30-second phone messages each hour, McDowell said, meaning that it could contact every Henrico landline in about two and-a-half hours.
Phone messages will only be sent in cases of actual emergencies – such as the potential of life-threatening weather events or when a dangerous criminal is believed to be in the area, County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the board.
Text and e-mail alerts – which citizens must register to receive – may cover a broader range of events, including non-emergency information about traffic, for example. Anyone may opt into the system by registering a phone number or e-mail address at http://www.henricoalert.org.
Henrico officials are hopeful that the Code Red system will be able to identify emergency phone calls as coming from "Henrico Emergency" so that recipients are more likely to answer. But even if they don't answer, the system will leave its entire message on voice mail, or recipients can dial the number back to hear the message, McDowell said.
The Code Red system uses a database of phone numbers filtered through Verizon's list of all landlines in the county, so that it will know to call only one number at a business or residence, for example. The system does not include phone numbers established through online providers such as Vonage, but citizens also will be able to opt their phone numbers into the system if they choose.
Code Red also offers a smartphone app for a one-time fee of $5.99 that will provide emergency alerts from any of its participating jurisdictions nationwide, so that a person who travels to another state, for example, could be alerted to emergencies there.
Twenty-five other Virginia localities already use the Code Red system, McDowell said. In Henrico, it will be administered through the Division of Fire and Office of Emergency Management, though other county officials may have the ability to distribute messages.

This is such exciting news for the AIDS and HIV community, who now can look at life in a whole new way. I hope the vaccine proves to be just as successful in humans, as it has been in monkeys. This could save so many lives and prevent future infections that kill so many people every year.

Digital signs help keep Dorchester motorists on the right track
Updated 6:12pm Friday 28th March 2014 in News
DIGITAL signs are now helping drivers find parking spaces in Dorchester.
A scheme introduced by Dorset County Council aims to direct motorists to vacant spaces to help reduce circulating and queuing traffic as well as reducing congestion and pollution.
The council's cabinet member for environment Hilary Cox said: "The addition of these digital signs in Dorchester will make a huge improvement for local people and visitors to the area looking for parking.
"It will cut down on queues and congestion, making the experience better for everyone."
The digital signs will also be integrated into the council's expanding car park guidance system that currently covers Weymouth and will soon be operational in Christchurch.

This is another example of some so called smart planner, dreaming up a useless system. I use the car parks most days during the week and they are of no help or value to me.
Could I point out the car park next to Colditz with a small piece of imagination could have 15 more cars parked in bays if the actual space was used. Why do we need grass,shrubs, flower beds? It is a car park.

McEniry, Mary, and Alberto Palloni. 2010. "Early life exposures and the occurrence and timing of heart disease among the older adult Puerto Rican population." Demography, 47(1): 23-43.
Few studies have examined the effects of early life conditions on the timing of the onset of heart disease. We use the remarkable example of a representative sample of the population of older Puerto Ricans aged 60-74 who lived in the countryside during childhood (n = 1,438) to examine the effects of seasonal exposures to poor nutrition and infectious diseases during late gestation on the timing of the onset and the probability of ever experiencing adult heart disease. Cox and log logistic hazard models controlling for childhood conditions (self-reported childhood health status and socioeconomic status [SES], rheumatic fever, and knee height) and adult risk factors (adult SES, obesity, smoking, exercise, and self-reported diabetes) showed that the risk of onset of heart disease was 65% higher among those born during high-exposure periods compared with unexposed individuals. However, there were no significant differences in median time of onset for those ever experiencing heart disease. As a comparison, we found that there were no significant seasonality effects for those who lived in urban areas during childhood. We conclude that early exposures in utero have important ramifications for adult heart disease among the older Puerto Rican population. We show, however that while exposure is associated with the probability of ever experiencing adult heart disease, it is not associated with the timing of onset among those who do experience it.

Highcrest pupils receive praise for art work
2:50pm Tuesday 1st July 2014 in News By Rebecca Cain, Reporter
PUPILS at Highcrest Academy showcased their art work last week in their first major exhibition for two years.
The art was on display in the Hatters Lane school's main hall and combined exhibitions from students working at GCSE, A/S and A Level.
The pieces will be part of their final mark in each.
High Wycombe Mayor Khalil Ahmed and Wycombe District Council Chairman Lesley Clarke both paid glowing tributes after viewing the impressive array of work at the event on Thursday evening.
Cllr Ahmed said: "I think it's an amazing display of very impressive work done by outstanding students."
Cllr Clarke described the art as 'wonderful', adding: "The standard is absolutely top notch. You want to go and touch some of the stuff because it looks so real."
The display included a range of paintings, drawings, mixed media pieces and 3D sculptures from Years 10, 11 and 12.
It was the first major art show at the academy in Hatters Lane, High Wycombe, for two years. About 100 people, including students and their families, turned up to view it.
"It was a great success," said Rea Davis, the teacher who organised the exhibition. "We had a very good turn-out and I think everyone really enjoyed the work."
A-level student Lauren Keen, 17, whose work was on display, said: "I think it's been an amazing opportunity for people to showcase their work and allow their family and friends to see it."
Sinead Lewin, 17, had her art work on display and said she was really pleased with her final butterfly piece.
Kimberley Yusufu, 15, drew different flowers with coloured pencils for her final piece.
She said: "Art it my favourite subject. I am not quite sure what I want to do yet, but something to do with designing."
Sir William Ramsay School is holding its student art exhibition on July 8 from 4 to 7pm.
Wycombe High School is holding its art exhibition on July 7 from 4.30 to 7.30pm.

Liberation of Rome
Today is the 66th anniversary of the D-Day landings. If the D-Day landings hadn't occurred, the big news would have been the liberation of Rome. The above video is color footage showing the entrance of some of the American troops into Rome on June 5, 1944, and an audience they had with Pope Pius XII.
The Pope, like almost all Romans, was joyous to be free from Nazi occupation, and he made that clear when he met with General Mark Clark.
"A few days after the liberation of Rome, Lieutenant General Mark Clark, Commander of the Fifth Allied Army, paid his respects to the Pope: "I am afraid you have been disturbed by the noise of my tanks. I am sorry." Pius XII smiled and replied: "General, any time you come to liberate Rome, you can make just as much noise as you like.""
Reagan and FDR
Happy birthday Gipper! Reagan and I share the same birthday. My beloved bride has the same birthday as FDR, January 30. My daughter's birthday is February 9. This time of year is a good time for cake at the McClarey household!
It will come as little surprise to faithful readers of this blog, that I consider Ronald Reagan to be one of the great American presidents. My views on him are sent forth in this recent thread. He restored our prosperity and brought the Cold War to a successful conclusion. His radiant optimism was a tonic for the nation's shaken morale. He deserves to be on Mount Rushmore if there were room.
It will perhaps stun faithful readers of this blog to learn that I have similar feelings for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Although I believe much of the New Deal was counterproductive and completely wrong-headed, FDR understood that raising the nation's morale was absolutely critical. His sunny ebullient optimism, and his ringing phrase, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!" were just what the nation needed. His fireside chats, which Reagan emulated in his Saturday radio chats, were a brilliant stroke which helped forge a personal bond between FDR and much of the nation. (Although not my Republican shoemaker grandfather who remained impervious to the charms of FDR to his dying day!) During the war his leadership was masterful and greatly aided the US in winning in 3 and a half years a global conflict. Prosperity was restored to the US on his watch, although it was due to the War and not the New Deal.
Reagan was a supporter of FDR. He used to say he didn't leave his party, his party left him. Looking at Reagan side by side with FDR, it is hard not to believe that Reagan learned many valuable leadership lessons from FDR.
Reagan and FDR were both ardent patriots with a deep love for this nation. Their optimism was based on their belief that the US could overcome its present difficulties and go forward to a brighter future. I find this personally appealing. Optimism and courage are necessary both in our lives here on Earth and in our spiritual lives. I have always agreed with Saint Francis, "Let gloom and despair be among the Devil and his disciples."
Father Ranger
The men of the 5th Ranger Battalion could barely keep from laughing when they first saw their chaplain, Lieutenant Joe Lacy, a week before D-Day. These were young men, in peak physical condition. Father Joe Lacy was old by Ranger standards, knocking on 40, overweight by at least 30 pounds, wearing thick glasses and short, 5 foot, six inches. He was described by one Ranger as "a small, fat old Irishman." No way would he be able to keep up when they invaded France.
The 65th Anniversay of D-Day – Memories of those who fought, and to whom we give thanks.
On June 6th we commemorate the anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy — conveying our thanks to those who fought and died for the liberation of Europe, and the world, from the Nazis.
Many stories and reflections will be shared today. Here are just a few.
As remembered by Capt. John G. Burkhalter, former Miami minister and chaplain with the "Fighting First" division in France:
On one occasion we were near some farm houses and some large shells began to fall, so several of us near a stone barn dashed into it to get out of the way of shrapnel. Just inside was a mother hen covering her little chicks. When we hurried in she became frightened and fluffing her feathers rose up to protect her young. I looked at her and silently said, "No, mother hen, we are not trying to hurt you and your little family, we are trying to hurt each other."
Nobody can love God better than when he is looking death square in the face and talks to God and then sees God come to the rescue. As I look back through hectic days just gone by to that hellish beach I agree with Ernie Pyle, that it was a pure miracle we even took the beach at all." Yes, there were a lot of miracles on the beach that day. God was on the beach D-Day; I know He was because I was talking with Him..
We Few, We Happy Few, We Band of Brothers
At 6:30AM on June 6th, 1944 — 65 years ago today — American, British and Canadian soldiers assaulted the beaches of Nazi-occupied France in the first day of the return of the land war to Western Europe in World War II. In some sectors of the 50-mile-long section of coastline chosen for the landings, defense was minimal and soldiers slogged stolidly through the surf and onto land. In others, especially the American Omaha Beach, the first waves came under a withering barrage of machine gun and mortar fire which nearly completely wiped out the first waves.
The bravery of young men in such conditions, and the fears and sadness of their loved ones back home, constitute the sort of heroism, sacrifice and tragedy which have moved human hearts from the most ancient epics until the present day.
In one of the British landing craft, an officer played for his men a phonograph recording of the St. Crispin's Day speech from Shakespeare's Henry V. And so it seems a fitting tribute to the bravery of all the men from throughout the English-speaking world who huddled in their boats in the terrifying minutes before battle sixty-five years ago to post this, one of the greatest martial speeches in English literature, in the rendition from Kenneth Branagh's outstanding production.
