As some of you know (from previous postings & my appearance on Sens Instagram), I recently undertook a 5 game road trip from my home here in the UK to the games in Buffalo, Miami, Tampa, Philly & New Jersey. I scrawled some notes during my flight back home with the intention of writing a report on this site, never thinking I would actually find the time to do so, but currently find myself with an hour to spare whilst my wife takes my credit card out shopping (payback for allowing me to go on the trip to begin with). I'l refrain from commenting too much on specific game details, you guys have already covered that in your reports much better than I ever could, so here goes...
Wednesday 3rd April - school holidays here in the UK, take my 10yr old son to Grandma's house en route to Birmingham airport as only available child care whilst I am away & my wife works, finally get to airport hotel c2100. Quick beer & bed.
Thursday 4th April - rudely awoken at 0430 by alarm call, make way to airport, check in for 0700 flight to Amsterdam. Dismayed to see an old "turbo prop" aircraft awaiting for me (you know the ones where for increased passenger confidence or in case of strong head wind you are advised to flap your arms to speed things up!). 3 hr connection in Amsterdam for Delta airlines flight to Newark, just enough time for some food (never trust or rely on airline food) and some beer (no prizes for spotting a trend developing). Managed to find a wifi connection to read up on some last minute news. Very pleased to read Cowen & Michalek joining the road trip. 8hr flight to Newark, brutal 90mins in immigration queue straight into hire car for fast drive to Binghamton to meet up with my good friend Dave who I met on last years road trip to California (@goaliedavesens). Arrived in Bingo at 2100, few beers and much needed kip.
Friday 5th April - 3.5 hour drive to Buffalo. Now I've been to Buffalo for 3 previous games (late 90's) and wasn't too impressed with downtown Buffalo back then, even less so now, for those of you that have been recently you will know what I am talking about, I have never seen so many empty / deserted / boarded up shops on one street in my life. The economic downturn of recent years must have hit here so hard, the place is deserted at 1630 in the afternoon, were it not for the AAA Baseball park & the Sabres Arena I doubt the Tram / Metro would bother running to the downtown area, very sad indeed. Fortunate to get there early enough to blag one of the few free parking spaces right next to the arena, quick trip to the box office for tickets (no sign of any scalpers yet) & off the the pub we go. Left the game gutted, didn't play that well, but didn't play too badly either from memory, 2 hr driver after the game to our hotel in Erie.
Saturday 6th April - Up and out after only 5 hours sleep, not good. 11.5hrs solid in the car (with only a quick "grab and go" lunch stop) and we arrive in Charlotte NC for an AHL game. Milwaukee Admirals win at a canter 3-0. Visiting NM stakes early claim for best name on road trip "Magnus Hellberg", he had a quiet night such was Milwaukee's win. Further 2 hour drive to Columbia for hotel stop. jet lag really starting to take its toll on me as Dave drives to Columbia whilst I collapse into comatose state in passenger seat.
Sunday 7th April - Up & out after only 4 hours sleep, mammoth 12 hour drive to Sunrise FL for an annoying 1800 face off....why? Would have been less but for traffic snarl up passing Jacksonville. Got to arena and discovered $20 parking......or free if you park in Sawgrass Mills shopping car park a mere 100yds away, job done. $30 v $110 for a ticket courtesy of local scalper & we arrive inside the arena just as the pre game skate starts.....phew! If this game was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it in Ottawa's fovour such was our dominance. Left the game mightily pissed off. Local hotel beckons & more than one beer.
Monday 8th April - Dave gets up and goes golfing (spoils a good walk in my book), I chose more sleep, then relax poolside for the afternoon, much needed. We decide against Miami Marlins MLB game in downtown Miami (having lucked out with no ECHL playoff in Fort myers) in favour of 1730 departure by road to Tampa for an earlier arrival at same. 3.5 hour leisurely drive to tampa, check in at downtown hotel & quick walk to local sports bar......beer, food and more beer.
Tuesday 9th April - Dave goes golfing again, I choose sleep, then go for a walk to the arena (only 10 mins away), take the street car ride to Ybor City (highly recommended) for a wuick look around before finding a Stub Hub outlet, $60 tickets secured for only $22 (result!), few beers then another loss, not happy. Piss taking from work colleagues started before I got back to hotel as 3 conxscutive losses. Too pissed off for a beer, early night as another looooooong driver tomorrow
Wednesday 10th April - Woo Hoo, only 9 hour drive to Charleston SC for ECHL playoff game today (Gwinnett leads series 2-0 against South Carolina Stingrays), would have been easy had we got going at intended time of 0900, however some domestic duties (phone calls to loved ones etc) saw a delayed 1100 departure and much time to make up for 1900 face off. Good progress made, few less tops and we make it with 20 mins to spare despite being stopped by local law enforcement for doing 82 in 70 zone on the Interstate (wasn't me driving I might add, but he let us off when we said the Sens had lost all 3 games thus far!!). Walk up to ticket office and managed to get dead centre ice seat about 10 rows back for only $24!!! Arena holds 13000, average crown during regular season around 3500, tonight attendance estimated at no more than 700 (& thats being generous). Few season ticket holders present tell us that economic downturn has hit very hard and people wont pay out for extra games over and above season tickets until later rounds. Well based on what we saw I doubt they saw another game this season as Gwinnett came out 3-1 winners for a 3-0 series lead. Visiting #10 Evan Bloodoff enters race for best hockey name of the trip. Another 2 hour driver after the game to some Interstate motel as we head for Philly
Thursday 11th April - Last long day of driving, yay!! 9 hour drive to Philadelphia, arrived c1700 and time for a beer and $150 ticket for only $60 from local scalper. Arena area very well policed to prevent scalping but anyone heading that way in the future, hang around Pattison Metro station and they'll find you. Now this was the most intimidating Hockey atmosphere I've encountered as a Sens fan (and this was visiting arena number 15 for me), far more intimidating than the neanderthals in LA. I have never seen so many people drinking beer in any one place in my life, queues at the concessions stands / /bars had to be seen to be believed, but to be fair to the locals, they were well behaved and treated us well with only the expected verbal comments in our direction, and that I have no problem with. No more than 20-30 Sens jerseys in the building, you could have heard a pin drop when greening scored the eventual GWG, the walk out after Alfie's ENG was lightning quick. Kudo's to Matt Kassian who refused a first period fight when leading 1-0 by simply pointing to the scoreboard. Left in good spirits after first win of the trip for 3 hour drive to Binghamton.
Friday 12th April - Long lie in finally rids me of jet lag some 24hrs before my return to the UK.....typical. Quick trip to the local mall as shopping requests from home have been building up over the past week. I say my goodbye's to Dave (who is choosing the BSens home game over Sens @ NJD as he went to New Jersey back in February) who cant stand anymore driving in deteriorating weather or can't stand anymore of me!! 3 hour driver to New Jersey, check in at local hotel (Best Western only 10 mins walk from Arena) for the night and free parking (bloody good job too as Arena parking outrageous at $30!!!!!!). Even less Sens jerseys in the arena than in Philly, no more than 20 I'd guess. Locals very passionate, plenty of "Lets Go Devils" chants, thankfully they didn't as we escaped with a 2-0 win. My celebrations on the Michalek goal nearly got me in trouble. Matt Kassian had a superb game tonight and I got thoroughly pissed in hotel bar afterwards.
Saturday 13th April - Awoke with almighty hangover & more worryingly further extensive shopping list from home in email inbox. ff to Jersey Mall then (2 miles from airport), $400 dollars later (gulp). Handed hire car back with 3511 more miles on the clock than when I picked it up. Overnight flight to Amsterdam and brutal 8hr connection back to the UK, finally getting home around 2100 on Sunday 14th April.
Bloody knackering, but I'd do it all again tomorrow to see the Sens, can't wait for next seasons road trip, anyone care to join me (guaranteed less driving I promise)?

I am enrolled in an accredited program in Minnesota.
The simple answer is NO.
According to the OT Practice Framework the occupational therapist develops the plan. The OTA, based on established competencies and under the supervision of an OT, may contribute to the plan's development. You state in your question that you have no established competencies, so you would not be able to independently create goals and implement treatment. You will have to collaborate with your supervising OT.

Just curious because I got a new job that has me staying in Campbell (Pruneyard area) until 7pm.. which means 7:05 or 7:10 because I don't want to seem like a clock-watcher... I think the puck actually drop at about 7:40. Anyone know?
Also, can you still get parking very close to HP if you show up at 7:25 or 7:30? I don't mind paying $20 if it gets me close enough to make it in by puck drop.
Just trying to figure out if I will miss actual game minutes.

Box Score
Lamar's top eight batters combined for 15 hits and Justin Walker pitched 5.2 innings of scoreless relief as Lamar defeated Central Arkansas 12-3 to clinch the series at Vincent-Beck Stadium Saturday.
The Cardinals (17-8, 7-1 Southland) pounded out a season-high tying 15 hits for the second time this week while tying the season benchmark with five extra-base hits. They also won their sixth-consecutive SLC game and moved to 6-1 on their current eight-game homestand. UCA fell to 12-14 overall and 2-6 in league play.
With Lamar holding a 3-0 lead after two innings, starter Matt Morgal found himself in tight spot when UCA loaded the bases with one out and Chris Davis at bat. Davis sent a ball deep to left field that was fighting through the 10 mile-per-hour wind when it reached the wall. That's where David Moore jumped and reached over the yellow line to bring the ball back over before throwing to third-baseman Chris Dunkin who stepped on second base to double-off Eric Tennyson who was running on contact and was at home when the catch was made. Graham Martin tagged from third and scored to make it 3-1.
Lamar came out in the bottom of the third and extended its lead to 7-1 thanks to three unearned runs and a solo home run from Jeff Vickers as the Cardinals sent nine men to the plate. Lamar went from possibly trailing 4-3 on a potential UCA grand slam to leading 7-1.
UCA cut the deficit to 7-3 an inning later when Scott Cline hit a two-run homer off Morgal as Lamar head coach Jim Gilligan brought in Walker to replace the Cardinal starter after 3.1 innings. Walker (1-2) struck out two and scattered three hits as he picked up his first win of the season. His first three appearances had been as a starter but has come in from the bullpen in his last six.
UCA starter Bobby Pritchett (3-3) took the loss after allowing seven runs on eight hits in 2.2 innings.
The teams will conclude their three-game set on Sunday at 1 p.m. Central time.

Mario signs for $100M
6 years, $50M guaranteed. BTW -- in a friendly wager, I estimated over $16M/year. I think I nailed it. Mario was always going to be unsignable by the Cowboys. Too many words were written in this blog about the possibility of him coming to the Cowboys -- it was never realistic.

In yesterday's presser, Mike McCoy was asked about several topics concerning the QB position. I have included a few of the more notable quotes below. What I found interesting was that, in my opinion, Mike McCoy seems to be implying that Tebow is already a successful quarterback, due to his responses to the two top criterion he uses to grade a quarterback.
- Q: What is the most important part of evaluating the performance of the QB?
#1 ..."Winning and losing. That's their job... There is no such thing as an ugly win...Is the guy a winner or not."
#2 ..."Can his team rally behind him...Do they believe in him as a QB, so when the game's on the line, or you're down early in the first quarter, do they fold the tent or not. Or do they believe in the guy that's back there. But when the players that are in the huddle with them, or the defensive guys, special teams guys, when they believe in him it doesn't matter. As long as there's time left on the clock the good ones find a way to win. And that's what it's about."
- Q: So no statistical measurements, accuracy, etc. trump those two things?
- A: ..."You would love for a guy to be a high percentage guy statistically. But then again there's plenty of QBs who have thrown for 400 yards and have lost the game… You'll see someone like Green Bay. The way they're throwing the football right now. That's the way everyone wants to be. But it's not easy."
Starting at 04:32: http://www.denverbroncos.com/multimedia/videos/Week-13---Thursday-McCoy/edfc2b3c-c527-441a-936a-9a06c83c9f5d
There are certainly some more interesting tidbits in the rest of the presser. If you have time, I highly suggest listening to it. Other notable points include:
- Tebow Hugging McCoy - McCoy was asked why it is that Tebow runs over to McCoy before anyone else, right after a win. McCoy goes on to say that he and Adam Gase spend an inordinate amount of time with all of the QBs. So much so, that their personal lives are discussed, and essentially there is bonding not just from a coach and player, but also as friends.
- 3-and-outs are Successful Drives - McCoy was asked about a comment Tebow had made this week where they want to end every play with a kick (extra point, field goal, or punt). He agreed with Tebow and noted that even in the case of a 3-and-out that he views it as a successful drive if they are able to punt and pin the opposing defense within their 20 yard line. He goes on to say that most teams will not be able to put too many scoring drives together when they have to drive 80+ yards. He also pointed out that in the last game there were multiple drives with 7 to 10 plays that ended in punts, but again, he viewed those as successful drives.
- Wearing Down the Opposing Defenses - One of McCoy's comments was that the current style of offense that the Broncos are running is meant to wear down the opposing defense.
- Why the Broncos Run on 3rd and Long - McCoy mentioned that because the Broncos run so much on 3rd down, that the defenses have to cover the run, which has opened up the passing opportunities on 3rd down.
- The Players have Bought in - McCoy mentioned that the Broncos are playing good "complimentary football" (is it me or was there a certain prior head coach who consistently focused on this term). He said that the players have bought into the current style of play, and that the defense, offense, and special teams are playing together as one.

Like many of you, ever since we were locked into the 6th and 11th picks I have been obsessively researching who could fall to us, who would be a good fit, what trades are available, etc.
While doing this, I came across a comment in the fanposts saying something like "Thomas Robinson has a future hall of famer name". This reminded me of perhaps my favorite way of evaluating NBA talent: How good of a name do you have?
Let's find out after the jump
First, we must establish what a NBA superstar name should look / sound like. I am a firm believer that having two first names is a huge push in the right direction (talent is good too, but try to follow me for a second). For example, this is a not-very exhaustive list of players who have two first names that you might recognize:
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Deron Williams (William counts, don't question me), Ben Wallace, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony, Tony Parker, etc.
So which players in the upcoming lottery have NBA names?
1) Anthony Davis - Talent AND two first names? lay-up
2) Thomas Robinson - The inspiration for this post, and although Robinson isn't a conventional first name, Robinson Cano is a person so I'm counting it.
3) Kendall Marshall - Two very obvious first names, this guy is probably a keeper
4) Jeffery Taylor - Many look at his playing deficiencies and overlook his awesome combination of names
So what other criteria can we use?
The second factor in deciding if your names passes the NBA litmus test is how unique it looks / sounds. Here are some examples:
Shaquille O'neal - Shaq is an easy, short nickname and very unique
Kareem Abdul Jabbar - Ridiculously unique name
Hakeem Olujawon - See Jabbar, Kareem Abdul
Clyde Drexler - Dude has both an X and a Y in his name. Solid production out of two seemingly innocuous names
Larry Bird - The fact that he was good enough to overcome the obvious "Birdman"-type nicknames is a tribute to Larry Legend
Dirk Nowitzki - Pretty good name. Loses points for being normal in his home country
Amare Stoudemire - He has an accent in his name, but other than that one thing it is very unexciting. Much like his career and scoring
Kevin Love - Pretty self explanatory
Kevin Durant - Unique at least. I don't know anyone else named Durant, but if you can come up with some I will be more than willing to edit this (former) Sonic out of my post.
So who in the draft has a name that might fit?
1) Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - Very unique, easy nickname potential with MKG. Wisely added "Kidd" to his name to try and steal away from of Jason Kidd's magic
2) Bradley Beal - Unique last name, mono-syllabic, and has alliteration. Not much to nitpick here.
3) Jeremy Lamb - Risky pick here. Lamb is unique as a name, but not so much as an actual word
4) Perry Jones III - Another risky pick. His name doesn't quite fit into "two-first names" territory, and the "third" gives him uniqueness as there are virtually no other players with it in their names. Ironically, the "third" also inherently makes him non-unique
5) Andre Drummond - Pretty unique name, solid first name. Nicknames revolving around "drum" elevate his name-position quite a bit
So what do you guys think? Do you have any other awesomely accurate ways to evaluate draft talent? Feel free to debate my choices in each category, or give me more / better historical examples

Management of virtual large-scale high-performance computing systemsGeoffroy Vallee
Linux is widely used on high-performance computing (HPC) systems, from commodity clusters to Cray supercomputers (which run the Cray Linux Environment). These platforms primarily differ in their system configuration, some only use SSH to access compute nodes, whereas others employ full resource management systems (e.g., Torque and ALPS on Cray XT systems). Furthermore, latest improvements in system-level virtualization techniques, such as hardware support, virtual machine migration for system resilience purposes, and reduction of virtualization overheads, enables the usage of virtual machines on HPC platforms.
Currently, tools for the management of virtual machines in the context of HPC systems are still quite basic, and often tightly coupled to the target platform. In this document, we present a new system tool for the management of virtual machines in the context of large-scale HPC systems, including a run-time system and the support for all major virtualization solutions. The proposed solution is based on two key aspects. First, Virtual System Environments (VSE), introduced in a previous study, provide a flexible method to define the software environment that will be used within virtual machines. Secondly, we propose a new system run-time for the management and deployment of VSE on HPC systems, which supports a wide range of system configurations. For instance, this generic run-time can interact with resource managers such as Torque for the management of virtual machines. The proposed solution is flexible and may be used to manage both the virtual machines and the host operating systems. Finally, the proposed solution provides appropriate abstractions to enable use with a variety of virtualization solutions on different Linux HPC platforms, to include Xen, KVM and the HPC oriented Palacios.

Back to back losses never hurt so bad. Well, only because we tasted a win streak. Just a few thoughts I have after tonight's (pretty much season ender after seeing KC win, AGAIN)
1. Good God. We need a consistent QB. If not, just to be consistent with ONE. Did Zach Miller not play? Is there anything in Bruce's repertoire besides the short dump off or chuck it up and pray Ford can miracle catch another one? Maybe the best answer at QB is to invest in the offensive line (draft/free agency), continue to develop our young wideouts, and stick with the guys on the roster. I don't know.
2. Walter McFadden needs to be cut. NOW.
3. Our offensive line has no clue how to block vs the 3-4. Bush had success vs the Bolts earlier this season, but the past 2 weeks we've just been running into a brick wall.
4. Is Louis Murphy pouting because of his lost job or did he just forget how to block downfield? He won me over forever vs the Eagles last year. I saw him several times today just get shed by a safety giving up a possibility at serious YAC.
5. Jacoby Ford is a MANIAC. How about a few votes for offensive Rookie Of the Year.
6. Nnamdi lost his cape. At least for this one game he did. Forgive me for being so spoiled as to NOT remember the last time he looked so, dare I say, average?
7. What the hell happened to that "Cutting it loose attitude"? What? We get a couple wins and all of a sudden we've got something to lose? Bullshit.
8. Our safeties are terrible in coverage. I completely forgot Brandon Marshall was on the Phins roster. I'm just watching the game and say to myself, "Damn, Miami is stacked at receiver".
I have more, but still going over numbers 1-8 on this list and getting angry. I think I'll just watch the Andre Johnson/Finnegan incident a few more times and go to bed. I hate that bastard. If for no other reason than he upstaged Roethlisberger last week as being the highlight punk of the season.
Glock out.

YUMA, AZ- Leo Robert Trujillo changed his plea Friday morning in connection to shooting at Yuma County Sheriff Deputies on September 10, 2011.
Prosecutors say deputies were serving a search warrant at the Terracina Apartments on Avenue B that day to retrieve weapons from a burglary a few days prior.
They say the deputies knocked and announced their presence, they were in uniform and they were also using an electronic device on the police vehicle that was in the parking lot to announce their presence.
Prosecutors say three of the eight sheriff deputies were injured after Trujillo started firing multiple rounds through his apartment door as they attempted to enter.
Trujillo says he didn't know the individuals trying to enter his place were law enforcement, "all of a sudden I was using the bathroom, weird coincidence, I flushed the toilet so it was loud so I couldn't hear." Trujillo went on to say, "the door was shut, I hear loud banging."
Yuma County Superior Court Judge John Nelson interrupted Trujillo and asked "well there's no question you fired 8 shots through the front door." Trujillo then replied, "yes your honor." Judge Nelson then asked "and injured these officers correct?" Trujillo responded "yes."
Trujillo plead guilty to eight counts of aggravated assault.
Per his plea agreement, probation is not available to Trujillo, he must pay full restitution, and the multiple counts against him will be served concurrent with each other when it comes to sentencing.
Judge Nelson said "The range of sentencing being a minimum of 5 years to a maximum of 15 years and you're aware there's a stipulation that you'll be sentenced to an aggravated term of 15 years as to all these counts." He then asked Trujillo is he was aware of that and if he accepted it and Trujillo agreed.
Trujillo will be sentenced next month.

Aeroplane lands on York Theatre Royal to honour French airmen and Tour de France
Updated 10:41am Monday 30th June 2014 in News By Megi Rychlikova, Court reporter
An aircraft landed on top of the Theatre Royal in the centre of York early this morning. The city centre was deserted as the Hawker Hurricane made its unique "flight" at the start of Armed Forces Day.
The fighter aircraft arrived on the 70th anniversary of the arrival of French airmen in the city during the Second World War.
It will remain on the roof of the theatre's restaurant extension in St Leonard's Place for more than a week so that it can be part of the Tour de France celebrations when the cyclists will pass directly in front of it and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight makes a fly-past over the race in honour of Second World War French airmen.
The Second World War fighter aircraft belongs to Yorkshire Air Museum which transported it from its Elvington base by road to St Leonard's Place, where it was assembled and lifted by crane high above the city to be landed with precise care onto the roof.
Museum director Ian Reed said: "As this significant 70th anniversary co-incides exactly with the build up to the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in York, the Hurricane will provide both an amazing talking point for the city's celebration of this magnificent sporting event and provide a visual spectacle for the the television cameras following the peloton as it swoops past the Theatre Royal with York Minster resplendent in the background.
Two French bomber squadrons of the RAF, 346 "Guyenne" and 347 "Tunisie" began operations from RAF Elvington, now the museum, on July 1, 1944. Other events marking Armed Forces Day are also being held.

Can the Press not check their facts ? The yellow edge roundel is of Type A.1 and was used from June 1940: for single and twin engine fighters, light and medium bombers and was of 35 inches diameter. Exceptions: Hawker Typhoon 42 inches, Westland Whirlwind 28 inches. Heavy bombers, transport aircraft 49 inches. I don't think that "Wiggo" (dear me) was about at that ime.

What's Memtest
For you new people and rest of you guys that wonder what memtest is, well its a RAM reliability tester. It evaluates the ability of your computers memory to store and retrieve data. A correctly functioning computer should be able to do both these tasks with 100% accuracy day in and day out. A computer that fails these tests, perhaps because of old hardware, damaged hardware, or poorly configured hardware, will be less stable and crash more often. By running MemTest, you can ensure that your computers RAM is correctly functioning. Unlike other memory checking software, MemTest is designed to find all types of memory errors including intermittent problems. Therefore, it needs to be run for several hours to truly evaluate your RAM. MemTest works with any type of memory.
The original program, Memtest 86, was written by Chris Brady and the "+" version is its legacy by other members of the x86-secret team. Memtest86 (the original) worked great but wasn't updated very often to reflect changes in chipsets or processors. Memtest86+ is updated quite often (sometimes monthly) and generally supports the latest hardware.
Some other things that you should keep on your mind!
Memory can break. Faulty memory can sometimes cause only certain programs to crash. Sometimes faulty memory can prevent the computer from booting. Memory errors, not prevalent during default settings, can sometimes inhibit overclocking ability.
Memory can be brand new and be faulty. It also can function normally for a period of time then, unpredictably, fail or exhibit errors.
First things first
Memtest86+ does not run in Windows. It uses a tiny version of Linux as its OS, just enough to run the program and generate a display a simple GUI. It is a small program and can easily extract to a floppy disk or can be run from a bootable USB key or CD.
How to create a bootable disk/floppy
Even though its possible to boot it off the USB its not recommended since it's way more complicated. Generally most people have either CD or Floppy drive which is much easier to use.
First thing you should get is the
Boot Disk Maker
You'll see the latest version of the boot disk maker at the top of the list. At the memtest page you will see few choices and they can look confusing. The ones that you will need are following:
To create a bootable CD then choose the
Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)!
To create a bootable floppy then choose the
Pre-Compiled package for Floppy (DOS - Win)!
Making the floppy
Unzip the file and run the "runme.bat" file. It will run a batch program that prompts for a blank disk. Insert a blank disk and it will make a bootable floppy with Memtest on it. All you need to do is boot off of that floppy and memtest will start to run.
Making the CD
There's an ISO file inside of the downloaded zip file. You can use many popular CD burning packages such as Nero or Roxio to burn the ISO to a blank CD-R. Remember that you need to burn this iso file as a disk image. DON'T write the ISO file onto a blank CD as that will do nothing. You need to consult your particular CD burning program's documentation to learn how to burn a CD image on to a disk. Basically, the ISO is a "package" of what the CD looks like compressed into a file for easy transport. It contains the boot sector and the directory tree of the disk, so you can understand why it needs to be "extracted" and written to the disk.
In NERO an image file can be burnt by choosing BURN IMAGE in the RECORDER menu.
Once the floppy is created or the ISO image burned then the computer can boot off the CD or floppy and memtest will automatically start to run.
When the memtest starts basically let it run and your main goal is to get pass (usually around 10 but more is better for ultimate stability).
By request: It is recommended that you run all of the tests in the sequence since they each do/test different things:
Test 0
[Address test, walking ones, no cache]
Tests all address bits in all memory banks by using a walking ones address pattern.
Test 1
[Address test, own address]
Each address is written with its own address and then is checked for consistency. In theory previous tests should have caught any memory addressing problems. This test should catch any addressing errors that somehow were not previously detected.
Test 2
[Moving inversions, ones&zeros]
This test uses the moving inversions algorithm with patterns of all ones and zeros. Cache is enabled even though it interferes to some degree with the test algorithm. With cache enabled this test does not take long and should quickly find all "hard" errors and some more subtle errors. This test is only a quick check.
Test 3
[Moving inversions, 8 bit pat]
This is the same as test one but uses a 8 bit wide pattern of "walking" ones and zeros. This test will better detect subtle errors in "wide" memory chips. A total of 20 data patterns are used.
Test 4
[Moving inversions, random pattern]
Test 4 uses the same algorithm as test 1 but the data pattern is a random number and it's complement. This test is particularly effective in finding difficult to detect data sensitive errors. A total of 60 patterns are used. The random number sequence is different with each pass so multiple passes increase effectiveness.
Test 5
[Block move, 64 moves]
This test stresses memory by using block move (movsl) instructions and is based on Robert Redelmeier's burnBX test. Memory is initialized with shifting patterns that are inverted every 8 bytes. Then 4mb blocks of memory are moved around using the movsl instruction. After the moves are completed the data patterns are checked. Because the data is checked only after the memory moves are completed it is not possible to know where the error occurred. The addresses reported are only for where the bad pattern was found. Since the moves are constrained to a 8mb segment of memory the failing address will always be less than 8mb away from the reported address. Errors from this test are not used to calculate BadRAM patterns.
Test 6
[Moving inversions, 32 bit pat]
This is a variation of the moving inversions algorithm that shifts the data pattern left one bit for each successive address. The starting bit position is shifted left for each pass. To use all possible data patterns 32 passes are required. This test is quite effective at detecting data sensitive errors but the execution time is long.
Test 7
[Random number sequence]
This test writes a series of random numbers into memory. By resetting the seed for the random number the same sequence of number can be created for a reference. The initial pattern is checked and then complemented and checked again on the next pass. However, unlike the moving inversions test writing and checking can only be done in the forward direction.
Test 8
[Modulo 20, ones&zeros]
Using the Modulo-X algorithm should uncover errors that are not detected by moving inversions due to cache and buffering interference with the the algorithm. As with test one only ones and zeros are used for data patterns.
Test 9
[Bit fade test, 90 min, 2 patterns]
The bit fade test initializes all of memory with a pattern and then sleeps for 90 minutes. Then memory is examined to see if any memory bits have changed. All ones and all zero patterns are used. This test takes 3 hours to complete. The Bit Fade test is not included in the normal test sequence and must be run manually via the runtime configuration menu.
Bellow I will give you the key sequence for selecting the test:
1. First press C
2. then 1
3. then 3
4. and finally select the test that you want to run
5. press Enter
6. and then 0 to get it running

1, 3, test# doesn't work on the older memtests. I noticed this when I got my DFI NF4 the first time. I tried C, 2, 5, 5 for test#5 and it wasn't working out until I noticed that it was set up differently.
What to do if Memtest 86+ says there are errors?
If you have errors then there are a couple of things to check first.
First, if you have multiple sticks of ram, test each one at a time by physically pulling all RAM except for the module you wish to check. Test each good ram module in every slot to confirm if you have a faulty module or a faulty DIMM slot. Yes...DIMM slots can fail too.
If the memory is under warranty then it can be RMA'd to the supplier or manufacturer. It's a good idea to note any of the Memtest results in the RMA form.
If you are overclocking then too high FSB settings can generate memory errors as can under-volting RAM. Try backing down your OC or bumping the voltage to your RAM to see if that clears up the error.
Another thing that could help is fine tunning the timings but that depends on the chips used on your RAM. The most usual suspects is the RAS to CAS and CAS Latency. Increasing these will give you better stability but it will degrade your performance so you need to keep that in mind. Increasing Vdimm helps also but this differentiates from chip to chip since some can take higher voltages then the others. In this case make sure that you have your RAM active cooled to prevent it from overheating which in most cases causes the errors in first place. Cooler the RAM better the stability and performance as well.
Please be aware that not all errors reported by Memtest86 are due to bad memory. The test implicitly tests the CPU, L1 and L2 caches as well as the motherboard. It is impossible for the test to determine what causes the failure to occur. However, most failures will be due to a problem with memory module. When it is not, the only option is to replace parts until the failure is corrected.
Once a memory error has been detected, determining the failing SIMM/DIMM module is not a clear cut procedure. With the large number of motherboard vendors and possible combinations of memory slots it would be difficult if not impossible to assemble complete information about how a particular error would map to a failing memory module. However, there are steps that may be taken to determine the failing module. Here are four techniques that you may wish to use:
1) Removing modules
This is simplest method for isolating a failing modules, but may only be employed when one or more modules can be removed from the system. By selectively removing modules from the system and then running the test you will be able to find the bad modules. Be sure to note exactly which modules are in the system when the test passes and when the test fails.
2) Rotating modules
When none of the modules can be removed then you may wish to rotate modules to find the failing one. This technique can only be used if there are three or more modules in the system. Change the location of two modules at a time. For example put the module from slot 1 into slot 2 and put the module from slot 2 in slot 1. Run the test and if either the failing bit or address changes then you know that the failing module is one of the ones just moved. By using several combinations of module movement you should be able to determine which module is failing.
3) Replacing modules
If you are unable to use either of the previous techniques then you are left to selective replacement of modules to find the failure.
4) Avoiding allocation
The printing mode for BadRAM patterns is intended to construct boot time parameters for a Linux kernel that is compiled with BadRAM support. This work-around makes it possible for Linux to reliably run with defective RAM. For more information on BadRAM support for Linux, sail to
Sometimes memory errors show up due to component incompatibility. A memory module may work fine in one system and not in another. This is not uncommon and is a source of confusion. In these situations the components are not necessarily bad but have marginal conditions that when combined with other components will cause errors.
There have been numerous reports of errors with only tests 5 and 8 on Athlon systems. Often the memory works in a different system or the vendor insists that it is good. In these cases the memory is not necessarily bad but is not able to operate reliably at Athlon speeds. Sometimes more conservative memory timings on the motherboard will correct these errors. In other cases the only option is to replace the memory with better quality, higher speed memory. Don't buy cheap memory and expect it to work with an Athlon! On occasion test 5/8 errors will occur even with name brand memory and a quality motherboard. These errors are legitimate and should be corrected.
In the vast majority of cases errors reported by the test are valid. There are some systems that cause Memtest86 to be confused about the size of memory and it will try to test non-existent memory. This will cause a large number of consecutive addresses to be reported as bad and generally there will be many bits in error. If you have a relatively small number of failing addresses and only one or two bits in error you can be certain that the errors are valid. Also intermittent errors are without exception valid. Frequently memory vendors question if Memtest86 supports their particular memory type or a chipset. Memtest86 is designed to work with all memory types and all chipsets. Only support for ECC requires knowledge of the chipset.
All valid memory errors should be corrected. It is possible that a particular error will never show up in normal operation. However, operating with marginal memory is risky and can result in data loss and even disk corruption. Even if there is no overt indication of problems you cannot assume that your system is unaffected. Sometimes intermittent errors can cause problems that do not show up for a long time. You can be sure that Murphy will get you if you know about a memory error and ignore it.
Memtest86 can not diagnose many types of PC failures. For example a faulty CPU that causes Windows to crash will most likely just cause Memtest86 to crash in the same way.

max FSB/MEM speed (100% windows error free/stability) <= max FSB/MEM speed (memtest error free)
test #1 - 4
are cpu fsb speed and or vcore related (meaning lowering fsb or increasing vcore saw errors in these tests disappear)
test #5
prior to 865/875 boards - memory speed, timings and vdimm related (meaning altering mem speed, timings and/or vdimm saw errors in this test disappear)
with 865/875 boards bigtoe has said related to cycle time (tras) in cpuz which i sort of confirmed with my current testing
note: prior to 865/875 boards, i've never had memory errors in test #6 only since these new boards have i experienced test #6 errors
test #7
not sure very rarely have i experienced errors
extended test
test #8 is a more intensive version of test #5
most memory related errors pop up at test #5 hence i like looping test #5 for memory testing for 12-24hrs after 1-4hr general standard loop of test #1-7
i like to loop test #3 and/or #4 for cpu related issues
I follow it up with at least goldmem 5.07:
2 quick test loops
2-4 full standard loops <-- can take forever trying doing it with 4 x 512mb xms3200c2
to loop a particular test
n memtest hit keyboard key
C -> 2 -> 5 and then select a test number to loop
spacebar = locks screen so it shows the very first error so where ram first errors out
enter key = unlocks screen
this is done, before i even load windows... if theres errors in above stage memtest or goldmem stages, i don't even bother loading windows or benching
i realise not everyone has time to do this but i like to know exactly what i get (ram) and how it performs
some people just load windows and see if it crashes or is stable... but you can't see why it crashes or isn't stable - is it the memory or cpu related etc
it makes it easier to test when you have more than 1 pc and a kvm switch to control 2-4 pcs from the same console
Memtest CHANGE LOG
Enhancements in v3.2 (11/Nov/2004)
* Added two new, highly effective tests that use random number patterns (tests 4 and 6)
* Reworked the online commands:
o Changed wording for better clarity
o Dropped Cache Mode menu
* Updated CPU detection for newer AMD, Intel and Cyrix CPUs
* Reworked test sequence:
o Dropped ineffective non cached tests (Numbers 7-11)
o Changed cache mode to "cached" for test 2
o Fixed a bug that did not allow some tests to be skipped
o Added bailout for Bit fade test
* Error reports are highlighted in red to provide a more vivid error indication
* Added support for a large number of additional chipsets (from Memtest86+ v1.30)
* Added an advanced setup feature that with new chiset allows memory timings to be altered from inside Memtest86. (from Memtest86+ v1.30)
* Misc bugfixes and code cleanup.
Enhancements in v3.1a (11/Mar/2004)
* Added processor detection for newer AMD processors
* Added new "Bit Fade" extended test
* Fixed a compile time bug with gcc version 3.x.
* E7500 memory controller ECC support
* Added support for 16bit ECC syndromes
* Option to keep the serial port baud rate of the boot loader
Enhancements in v3.0 (22/May/2002) - Provided by Eric Biederman
* Testing of more than 2gb of memory is at last fixed (tested with 6Gb)
* The infrastructure is to poll ecc error reporting chipset regisets, and the support has been done for some chipsets.
* Uses dynamic relocation information records to make itself PIC instead of requiring 2 copies of memtest86 in the binary.
* The serial console code does not do redundant writes to the serial port. Very little slow down at 9600 baud.
* You can press ^l or just l to get a screen refresh, when you are connecting and unconnecting a serial cable.
* Netbooting is working again
* LinuxBIOS support (To get the memory size)
* Many bugfixes and code cleanup
Enhancements in v2.9 (29/Feb/2002)
* The memory sizing code has been completely rewritten. By default Memtest86 gets a memory map from the BIOS that is now used to find available memory. A new online configuration option provides three choices for how memory will be sized, including the old "probe" method. The default mode generally will not test all of memory, but should be more stable. See the Memory Sizing section for details.
* Testing of more than 2gb of memory should now work. A number of bugs were found and corrected that prevented testing above 2gb. Testing with more than 2gb has been limited and there could be problems with a full 4gb of memory.
* Memory is divided into segments for testing. This allow for frequent progress updates and responsiveness to interactive commands. The memory segment size has been increased from 8 to 32mb. This should improve testing effectivness but progress reports will be less frequent.
* Minor bug fixes
Enhancements in v2.8 (18/Oct/2001)
* Eric Biederman reworked the build process making it far simpler and also to produce a network bootable ELF image.
* Re-wrote the memory and cache speed detection code. Previously the reported numbers were inaccurate for intel CPU's and completely wrong for the Athlon and Duron.
* Disabled the serial console by default since it was slowing down testing.
* Added CPU detection for Pentium 4
* Minor bug fixes
Enhancements in v2.7 (12/Jul/2001)
* Expanded workaround for errors caused by BIOS USB keyboard support to include test #5.
* Re-worked L1 / L2 cache detection code to provide clearer reporting.
* Fixed an obvious bug in the computation of cache and memory speeds.
* Added a menu option to disable the serial console.
* Changed on-line menu to stay in the menu between option selections.
* Fixed bugs in the test restart and redraw code.
* Adjusted code size to fix compilation problems with RedHat 7.1.
* Misc updates to the documentation.
Enhancements in v2.6 (25/May/2001)
* Added workaround for errors caused by BIOS USB keyboard support.
* Fixed problems with reporting of 1 GHZ + processor speeds.
* Fixed Duron cache detection.
* Added screen buffer so that menus will work correctly from a serial console.
* The Memtest86 image is now built in ELF format.
Enhancements in v2.5 (13/Dec/00)
* Enhanced CPU and cache detection to correctly identify Duron CPU and K6-III 1mb cache.
* Added code to report cache-able memory size.
* Added limited support for parity memory.
* Support was added to allow use of on-line commands from a serial port.
* Dropped option for changing refresh rates. This was not useful and did not work on newer motherboards.
* Improved fatal exception reporting to include a register and stack dump.
* The pass number is now displayed in the error report.
* Fixed a bug that crashed the test when selecting one of the extended tests.
Enhancements in v2.4
* The error report format was reworked for better clarity and now includes a decimal address in megabytes.
* A new memory move test was added (from Robert Redelmeier's CPU-Burn)
* The test sequence and iterations were modified.
* Fixed scrolling problems with the BadRAM patterns.
* Updated and improved CPU and cache detection.
Enhancements in v2.3
* Measurement and reporting of memory and cache performance was added.
* All of the test routines were rewritten in assembler to improve both error detection and speed.
* A progress meter was added to show pass and test completion.
* The screen layout was reworked to hopefully be more readable.
* Support for creating BadRAM patterns was added.
* An error summary option was added to the online commands.
Enhancements in v2.2
* Added two new address tests.
* Added an on-line command for setting test address range.
* Optimized test code for faster execution (-O3, -funroll-loops and -fomit-frame-pointer).
* Added and elapsed time counter.
* Adjusted menu options for better consistency.
Enhancements in v2.1
* Fixed a bug in the CPU detection that caused the test to hang or crash with some 486 and Cryrix CPU's
* Added CPU detection for Cyrix CPU's
* Extended and improved CPU detection for Intel and AMD CPU's
* Added a compile time option (BIOS_MEMSZ) for obtaining the last memory address from the BIOS. This should fix problems with memory sizing on certain motherboards. This option is not enabled by default. It may be enabled by default in a future release.
Enhancements in v2.0
* Added new Modulo-20 test algorithm.
* Added a 32 bit shifting pattern to the moving inversions algorithm.
* Created test sections to specify algorithm, pattern, cache and refresh rate.
* Improved test progress indicators.
* Created popup menus for configuration.
* Added menu for test selection.
* Added CPU and cache identification.
* Added a "bail out" feature to quit the current test when it does not fit the test selection parameters.
* Re-arranged the screen layout and colors.
* Created local include files for I/O and serial interface definitions rather than using the sometimes incompatible system include files.
* Broke up the "C" source code into four separate source modules.
Enhancements in v1.5
* Some additional changes were made to fix obscure memory sizing problems.
* The 4 bit wide data pattern was increased to 8 bits since 8 bit wide memory chips are becoming more common.
* A new test algorithm was added to improve detection of data pattern sensitive errors.
Enhancements in v1.4
* Changes to the memory sizing code to avoid problems with some motherboards where Memtest86 would find more memory than actually exists.
* Added support for a console serial port. (thanks to Doug Sisk)
* On-line commands are now available for configuring Memtest86 on the fly (see On-line Commands).
Enhancements in v1.3
* Scrolling of memory errors is now provided. Previously, only one screen of error information was displayed.
* Memtest86 can now be booted from any disk via lilo.
* Detection of up to 4gb of memory has been fixed is now enabled by default. This capability was clearly broken in v1.2a and should work correctly now but has not been fully tested (4gb PC's are a bit rare).
* The maximum memory size supported by the motherboard is now being calculated correctly. In previous versions there were cases where not all of memory would be tested and the maximum memory size supported was incorrect.
* For some types of failures the good and bad values were reported to be same with an Xor value of 0. This has been fixed by retaining the data read from memory and not re-reading the bad data in the error reporting routine.
* APM (advanced power management) is now disabled by Memtest86. This keeps the screen from blanking while the test is running.
* Problems with enabling & disabling cache on some motherboards have been corrected.
That's about it and feel free to add anything that I may have left out!

text: With the upset of Anderson Silva still percolating through our minds I am left wondering who will be the next champion to fall and lose their status as the best fighter in their respective division. It is a very interesting time in the UFC right now because I believe that we are witnessing a period now in the organization where we they have a group of dominant champions in almost all the divisions. With that said I ask myself who will fall first and which one will be the biggest upset?Cain,Weidman and GSP appear to have the toughest fights ahead. Personally I am leaning towards Cain because in my opinion he is in the most danger of losing his title, but will it be the biggest upset since Silva losing his belt? Who do you think will the next fighter to fall to a man/woman not worthy of our respect ? Answer the poll and share your thoughts.

(WMC) - One in every 90 people in Shelby County has a sexually transmitted disease. The number is actually down from previous years.
The WMC Action News 5 Investigators have uncovered STD hot spots in the Mid-South, zip codes where health professionals say more needs to be done to stop the spread of STDs.
"There are a lot of things we can do to try to locate a person," said Norman Foster at the Shelby County Health Department whose job is to find people. "Sometimes it's as simple as getting a name, address, and phone number."
Foster is part of SCHD's disease intervention specialist team. He looks for people who have tested positive or had sexual contact with someone else who has tested positive for syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and/or HIV/AIDS.
"Stop the spreading," said Foster. "Sometimes we get just the nickname of an individual ... We will go to an individual's job and engage them there where they work and it's a very sensitive process ... People are hurt. Some people feel betrayed. People are really scared about what could happen."
They meet people.
"I had already talked to my physician and the health department was coming after that," said 23-year-old Xavier Weddington, who is living with HIV. "At the beginning stages you really don't want to be bothered."
He was diagnosed December 17, 2009.
"You never think something like this could happen to you," he said. "I literally hit the floor and I just started crying. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do."
Weddington was in a relationship for three years. He says he practiced monogamy but not safely.
"The problem is that too many people are walking around and they're saying, 'Okay, I'm negative.' But they haven't been tested," he said.
In the Shelby County Health Department's Annual Surveillance Summary from 2012, the most recent numbers available, epidemiologists say 83 percent of all people living with HIV/AIDS in Shelby County are black: 69 percent are men.
The highest percentage of cases are contracted through male-to-male sex. The data is also broken down by all 33 zip codes in Shelby County. Rates are based on population.
The highest HIV/AIDS rate per 100,000 people is in the 38105 zip code. 38127 has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia combined. Zip codes 38109, 38106, and 38114 follows.
"Some of those zip codes that you mentioned are at low socioeconomic statuses, so people may not be able to afford medical care or know that there are places that they can access care that is free or based around their income. They may not have that knowledge," said Friends For Life HIV/AIDS Prevention Services Coordinator Mia Cotton.
Friends For Life is a non-profit that services clients infected with HIV/AIDS. It offers free syphilis testing and attempts to stop the spreading.
"When we walk through this door every day, we know that our clients have overwhelming issues, and I can tell you that HIV is not the largest of them," said Cotton.
When WMC Action News 5 hit the street in some of those zip codes in search of opinion, the people we met all told us avoiding becoming a statistic is simple.
"I think it's mostly on yourself. You have to be willing to use protection basically," said resident Keunka Dyson.
"All of these infections—syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV—are 100 percent preventable," said Foster.
Shelby County's STD data is two years behind what it should be. The Health Department says a staffing issue delayed timely reports so the number of infections could be less or greater.

CHECK IT OUT: iGuitar interactive guitar magazine from Lick Library – David Gilmour, Guthrie Govan, Rick Graham, Andy James
The guys Lick Library have launched an exciting new interactive magazine called iGuitar:
Welcome to iGuitar, the first truly interactive online digital guitar magazine. With exclusive interviews and features on some of the most famous guitar players ever, there are also product and album reviews and if that wasn't enough the magazine is jam packed with over 3 hours of exclusive video performances, interviews and reviews.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words we think that makes a moving picture worth ten thousand, so you'll find a huge amount of video material in each issue – hours of tuition, expert reviews, interviews and with lots more to come over the months.
The first issue features an article on David Gilmour, an interview with Guthrie Govan and lessons from the fantastic Andy James and Rick Graham plus much much more!
Looks great, my only gripe is the fact it's flash based which is an 'issue' when reading on the iPad but the magazine shows great promise and is raising the bar for what an online interactive guitar magazine should be delivering.

I am 24 years old. I have a BA in Public Relations/Communications. I am one hard working SOB. And I am vastly underpaid in a job I really don't even enjoy. Ladies and gentleman, I am a hefty majority of college 20-something year olds in this country. Remember when we were told our whole lives that if you stay in school and get an education, you will someday get the job you want and make great money? The problem with the advice is…It is outdated, and I mean waaaay outdated. I know when my parents were my age a college degree was something that made you stand out and placed you on a higher level, but these days it just seems like earning a degree just keeps you up to speed with the rest of the young adults out there.
Old Advice Won't Help the Younger Generations
How to Ace a Job Interview
Finding a new job isn't easy. But once you get the interview, what's next? By preparing yourself beforehand, you can be more apt to tackle the questions that are thrown at you. Remember to keep calm, cool, and collected. Acing an interview isn't just preparation, it's also a state of mind.
Are You Truly Recognizing Your Employees?
We work to make money. That's the point. While many of us find fulfillment through our work, it still normally comes down to money as the driving force that gets us up in the morning, puts us in our cars, and heads us down the road to our job. While money might be the motivating factor for having a job, it's not the most important motivator for keeping employees happy.

BALTIMORE — Will Daniels, senior vice president of operations and organic integrity for Earthbound Farm, criticized retailers and other branches of the produce industry, including media, inspectors and researchers, for chasing the money and not moving fast enough on food safety during a presentation he delivered at the Food Safety Summit, held here.
Since designing Earthbound Farm's multiple-hurdle system that involves raw and finished product testing, Mr. Daniels said that he's received plenty of flack from the fresh-cut industry, which complained that his system was too expensive and unreliable for detecting pathogens.
"We believed — and still believe to this day — that what we are doing is the right thing for fresh-cut produce and the risk associated with our products and our distribution," he said May 1 at the food-safety meeting that was packed with 1,400 attendees.
Earthbound Farm, based in San Juan Bautista, CA, is approaching the seven-year anniversary of its test-and-hold testing program designed after the organic business became ensnared in the 2006 E. coli outbreak associated with spinach.
"Why aren't more people following us?" he asked.
Retailers, he said, still look for the cheapest price from suppliers, regardless of the robustness of a company's food-safety system.
The relationship between produce companies and investigators is not helpful. Produce companies go into the defensive mode as some inspectors look for ways to shut down businesses.
Academia only pursues "sexy" research topics that can generate money and recognition to the institution, and often does not pursue data that would be most applicable to producers, he said.
Media also shares the blame for inaccurate reporting, especially during the 2006 E. coli outbreak. Media's job is to sell advertisements and the stories must be sensational to sell ads, he explained.
Non-governmental organizations are pushing their agendas that lead to less collaboration as they compete for dues and donations.
Instead, Mr. Daniels suggested that inspectors should become more like facilitators and help educate companies on how to improve their process, and that it may be time for more strident inspectors with a combative attitude toward industry to retire.
He added that produce companies must better communicate food-safety priorities to senior management.
"We must stop thinking that it's OK to roll the risk-aversion dice in an effort to save money," Mr. Daniels said.
There should be a centralized authority to prioritize research on produce safety worldwide, he said.
Lastly, he offered to invite competitors to the Earthbound Farm facility to show a new wash system that has been in development for years.
"We plan on inviting competition in to see what we've developed."
He added, "If food safety is not a competitive advantage, then every company should be happy to share their success."

Although jones + jones is designed and produced in London our gorgeous designs are very much loved worldwide and this was evident on Monday night when a model was spotted wearing the oh-so-flattering jones + jones Poppy Dress in pretty pink to a much hyped fashion show held in Paris!
The show was part of Paris Haute Couture fashion week which saw lingerie couturiere Zahia Dehar showcase her new collection. The show was attended by the likes of head designer and creative director for Chanel Karl Lagerfeld, who shot the official pictures for Zahia's first collection in January this year.
The jones + jones Poppy Dress in pink has a short-sleeved chiffon-lined lace bodice with a gorgeous Peter Pan collar, adding a dainty edge to an already ultra-feminine dress. The flirty skirt and net-trimmed petticoat add volume making this the perfect dress for all your upcoming summer events!
Available on our website and at selected Topshop concession stores, get yours now!!

We had the great honour last week to be featured in a catwalk at the Carlton Beach in Cannes! The event was organised by Fashion TV and sponsored by Polish Excellent Night and featured many of our gorgeous S/S 2012 collection!
From oh-so-pretty in pink with floral Liberty prints, ginghams, lace and flirty full skirts…
To stunning summer dresses perfect to take you from the beach to the bar…
From the fabulous FROW to backstage bonding to the after party, jones + jones was spotted and lusted after all night!…
Check out the gorgeous styles featured on our website here and in our Flagship Boutique in Saint Tropez now!

We were so excited to be part of the amazing DCU Fashion Show for the second year running last Tuesday! The event, sponsored by Diet Coke amongst others, showcased modelling and design talent from across Ireland as well as collections from top high street brands ranging from Zara to H&M, Jack & Jones to jones + jones!…
The theme of the show was 'High Tech Heritage', which chairperson of DCU Style Society, Susan Gorman, described as a celebration of '…our fast-changing, internet and media rich world merged with the rebirth of vintage clothing'. From the sparkling sequins on the Julia Dress to the edgy structuring of the Nicky Dress, the full and flirty forties and fifties inspired skirts to the on-trend textural florals, we think that the gorgeous selection of garments showcased from our S/S 2012 collection perfectly encapsulated the theme alongside the projections and social media used.
A huge thank you to all of the stunning models and a special thank you to Aoife Fitzgerald and our fantastic Concession Managers in Dublin, Aimee Harden and Zara Andrews! You can find all the stunning dresses on our website here and in our amazing concessions in select Topshop stores including Topshop in the Jervis Shopping Centre and in St Stephens Green in Dublin!

Models, Misfits and Mayhem's Debbie King is a big jones + jones fan and featured in this week's episode on Tuesday in the jones + jones Border Laura Dress in fuchsia!
Styled with a matching bright pink ribbon belt, high-heels and completed with a bow in her hair, we think Debbie, the Principal and Executive Director of The London School Of Modelling, looked oh-so-pretty in pink!
The jones + jones Border Laura Dress in fuchsia combines floral outlines in swirling ribbon over the short-sleeved sheer top and a stunning full box pleated skirt completed with a net-trimmed petticoat…
Unfortunately we have currently sold out of the Border Laura Dress in fuchsia, however we have the Border Laura Dress in black available while stocks last! You can find it on our website here and in our concessions in select Topshop stores now!

Before Madden 13 launched on Tuesday, SB Nation asked NFL rookies what they think their Madden rating should be. Mohamed Sanu actually appeared to give himself a fair rating, somewhere in the mid-80s, with a low 90s in speed. Actually of all the NFL rookies, Sanu seemed like the only one actually trying to guess his Madden grade.
He was way off. At least overall. Sanu is sporting an overall rating of 71, with an 87 in speed, 85 in acceleration, 70 in strength, 55 in awareness and 87 in catching.

What's so horrible about The Hobbit?
LOTR all had battle scenes that took up half the movies that were too long. Songs were not included and plot from the book cut to make room for action and Hollywood.
The Hobbit has songs in it and has more of a personal story and A LOT MORE of what is in the books and material from The Silimarian. The 1st hobbit was a little long, but I liked the 2nd a lot and I loved Misty Mountains which had a nice theme to it that I found lacking in LOTR.

I bet Jobs would not have approved of the modern (i.e. stripped of all soul, rich textures and curves) design of ios 7. Since it's so crappy (and bright) it's bound to get pushed into all OSes.

There is a reason Skuemorphism was used. Namely
Proof: Look at the Iphone 1? The reason Apple won the 1st battle from MS and blackberry overnight is because they were pretty and drop dead gorgeous. Android won battle 2 but still Apple never got defeated.
If IOS looked like it did in 2007 it frankly wouldn't sell. People wanted the gum drops of Safari.
Linux users are incredibly prideful and niave and feel vulnerable and will not believe you when you claim you are infected. The perfect demographic.
Arstechnica had something a few months back on Linux malware. It is easier to infect linux users because they feel they are secure and do not run AV software and many run outdated versions because they do not like gnome 3
The problem is if you install java 6 and early java 7 it will install plugins for your browsers.
Visit a website and you are 0wned as it runs as full admin since javaw.exe runs as a freaking service with admin privledges!
I think the old myth do not click on ads is 2004 knowledge. Unfortunately recent operating systems have terrible GUI's so many run older flavors like 7 and XP which do not have the same level of protections.
It pulls my hair out to see java 5 and the same users whine I AM INFECTED week after week after week because some beancounter does not want to upgrade to save $1,000 means $10,000 in lost productivity.
Not really
Java is easy to exploit and almost everyone has an obsolete version with dozens of exploits. Double bonus if the user is running XP as a local admin.
Once I imaged a computer and opened IE to go download Firefox and other apps and my webcam went on instantly! Ad appeared doing a fake AV scan all from msn.com since computer had 0 updates yet it was 0wned.
Had to reimage again.
XP users really are in trouble and you don't need social engineering. Just IE, no updates, reader, or Java. Scary stuff.
It is why I don't run ancient operating systems, updates, and never use a root or admin account.
Macosx has its applets but on a desktop. The taskbar and start is there with applets running on a real desktop. Unplug keyboard and start stretches into full screen for tablets. DONE
I want aero back is my last complaint but that is soooo skeumorphism sigh. I think win 8 is anti skeumorphism taken to extremes.
What if they are like the IOS applets in MacOSX where the emphasis is on the desktop?
As long as things do not go all full screen closed door syndrome I do not see it as a problem
It's a good thing none of these industrial controls require IE 6 with an unsupported OS with updates turned off requiring a live internet connection or anything stupid. For a minute that would imply mass incompetence
YEAH and I could say IE 6 is just as secure as no security in design does not mean more exploits. One of my clients who switched from XP to 7 noticed a drop in malware.
Newer kernel features reduce 0 days as evident in 7 compared

Jessica Simpson with Ken Paves
Jessica Keeps Her Man Close, and Her Hairdresser Closer
by Molly Goodson 79 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Jessica Simpson had one of her main men on her arm last night, but it wasn't her future husband (heh) Tony Romo. Instead she was out to dinner at Katsuya with the man in control of all that blond hair, Ken Paves. Lucky for her she opted for Thursday night sushi instead of Wednesday, because then she may have had a dinnertime run in with her ex-John Mayer (though we know there's no bad blood on his behalf). That was all avoided, however and instead she and Ken had a nice dinner just the two of them — hey, if she does have another walk down the aisle planned these two have some seriously famous wedding hair to live up to.

Hendri Coetzee is an African whitewater expedition guide who will accompany the FA Kayak Team during its expedition of the White Nile in Africa.
By Hendri Coetzee
I was late to the arrivals hall and a few dollars poorer thanks to the military checkpoint outside the airport. A few taxi drivers stood around trying to scrounge business from the last tired foreigners arriving through the drab glass doors. I looked around for any sign of my new best friends. It's never easy going into the unknown, and it's not ideal with a team you have never met. They are going to have to trust me, and I will have to trust them. Losing them at the airport would not be an ideal start.
Eventually, they emerged one by one from the harsh, neon lights into the garden outside where I had been waiting. There were strong handshakes and straight looks as we weighed each other up as fast as possible.
The ride back was filled with small talk and petty details that told me nothing. It was only when I saw them sitting in their kayaks that I relaxed. If nothing else, these guys can kayak. I could tell that even before we got to the rapids.
The first week is done, and it's been a good one. Showing people who share my passion around the backyard is a joy. Learning from them as they look at it with new eyes is a pleasure. As can be expected when getting stuck into the big stuff, it has not all been easy sailing. In this game, like most others, it's all about confidence. Tomorrow we start the infamous Karuma-to-Murchison Falls section, and all indications are that it will be the highest level in years.
Latest news: As of December 9, 2010, reports are that Hendri Coetzee was killed by a Crocodile while in a Kayak, leading others on some sort of expedition/survey. They were in an area known for being heavily populated by Crocs and Hippos (not sure why they'd still be in a tiny Kayak in such infested waters regardless of experience, though). Regardless, reports are he was pulled from his boat, and dragged off. No body has been recovered. The other two men with him escaped. RIP.

People are staying warm and cozy in their homes with space heaters and electric blankets.
Cabela's has seen an increase in sales of warming items since the October Blizzard, says Peggy Wermers, a manager at Cabela's.
Wermers says people have been buying things like space heaters or blankets as gifts or just as a way to make the cold a bit more bearable. "If you have this on hand it really, generators anything like that, we actually have that, we carry all that here, then you are ready for what nature throws at you," says Wermers.
And when nature throws its bitter cold our way, the U.S. Fire Administration reminds us to purchase space heaters and heating blankets approved by nationally recognized laboratories, that have safety features to avoid fires.
