Robert and Rashell Tye of Corona, California, were by far the most excited to see us with our camera and clipboard in hand. Robert built the entire car himself, minus the body and paintwork, which he handed over to Airhead Kustoms in Corona. This '68 Camaro has a 420-inch small-block Chevy, TH350 transmission with a 2,800 rpm stall, 9-inch Ford rear end suspended by heavy-duty original parts and polyurethane bushings. Robert's wife, Rashell, especially likes the interior whose design came to her in a dream. They both drive the car quite a bit, but not as much as the retired gentleman they bought it from, who used it as a daily driver.

Measurement of solar radiation
The precise measurement of solar is important in many fields including remote sensing, meteorology, climate change, solar energy, and various aspects of agriculture. The two common methods that characterize solar radiation are the solar irradiance (or radiation) and solar insolation.
Solar irradiance (symbol: E) is the radiometry term for the power of electromagnetic radiation at a surface, per unit area. "Irradiance" is used when the electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface. The SI units for irradiance are watts per square meter (W/m2). Solar irradiance is strongly dependent on location and local weather. Irradiance measurements consist of global and/or direct radiation measurements taken periodically throughout the day.
Solar insolation is the total amount of solar energy received at a particular location during a specified time period, often in units of W/(m2·day). While the units of solar insolation and solar irradiance are both a power density (for solar insolation the "hours" in the numerator are a time measurement as is the "day" in the denominator), solar insolation is quite different than the solar irradiance because the solar insolation is the instantaneous solar irradiance averaged over a given time period. Solar insolation is also expressed in units of MJ/m2 per year.
Actinometer is the general name for any instrument used to measure the intensity of radiant energy, particularly that of the sun. Actinometers are classified according to the quantities that they measure:
- A pyrheliometer measures measures the intensity of direct solar radiation. It is so designed that it measures only the radiation from the sun's disk (which has an apparent diameter of ½°) and from a narrow annulus of sky of diameter 5° around the sun's disk.
- A pyranometer measures global radiation (the combined intensity of direct solar radiation and diffuse sky radiation). It measures solar irradiance from the solid angle 2pi onto a plane surface. When mounted horizontally facing upwards it measures global solar irradiance. If it is provided with a shade that prevents beam solar radiation from reaching the receiver, it measures diffuse solar irradiance.
- A pyrgeometer measures the effective terrestrial radiation. It measures the atmospheric infrared radiation spectrum that extends approximately from 4.5 µm to 100 µm.
A radiometer is an instrument designed to measure the radiated electromagnetic power. When used in solar energy applications, it is usually desirable for radiometers to respond the same to equal amounts of energy at all wavelengths over the wavelength range of the radiation to be measured. Most radiometers therefore work by using a thermopile to measure the temperature rise of a sensitive element whose receiving surface is painted dull black. Instruments for measuring solar irradiance using a photovoltaic cell as the sensitive element have a non-uniform spectral response.
An alternative method of measuring solar radiation, which is less accurate but also less expensive, is a sunshine recorder. Sunshine recorders measure the number of hours in the day during which the sunshine is above a certain level (typically 200 mW/cm2). Data collected in this way are used to determine the solar insolation by comparing the measured number of sunshine hours to those based on calculations and including several correction factors.

Eclipse and its Swiss customer Aviace have entered litigation over the delivery of 112 VLJs. Aviace sued the manufacturer early this month for breach of contract for allegedly refusing to deliver the aircraft ordered in 2002. The Swiss company was one of the earliest large customers for the Eclipse 500 very light jet and was established to launch a low-cost air taxi business. Both parties declined to comment while in litigation.

Viking Air, a British Columbia aircraft maintenance and modification facility, is seeking an undisclosed number of firm orders to launch a re-engined version of the de Havilland Canada Series 300 Twin Otter. Some 600 of the 19-passenger turboprop twins remain in operation out of the nearly 850 produced between 1965 and 1989.
A Cessna Citation VI owned by Irish businessman Jim Mansfield was involved in a major drug bust on September 26, when Belgian police impounded the aircraft at Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport and arrested its two pilots. The police reportedly seized more than 110 pounds of heroin as a passenger tried to board the jet. The aircraft had just arrived from Weston Executive Airport, near Dublin, Ireland.
In its new study of the FAA's aging aircraft program, the DOT Inspector General's office noted the rules do not cover both private and commercial aircraft with fewer that 30 seats. As an example of non-program aircraft, the study pointed to the Dec.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Wednesday issued an interim order that pushes back a new FAA drug and alcohol testing rule compliance date 10 days, to October 20.

sweetwealthybird replied to your post: Black hair.
I see what you mean..It seems that most natural hair dedicated blogs mostly showcase loose curl patterns. but there are plenty of 'hair idols' with kinky hair like you and me. the key is to embrace our differences not have 'curl envy'
Yeah…I just wish it was easier to come across, you know? It makes me feel like there is actually something wrong with my hair and like not even other black people would be able to appreciate it.
itsmerandi replied to your post: Black hair.
It's just that most people with super kinky hair so they don't go natural. And a lot of people have had perms for most of their life and aren't even aware of what their natural texture is. Or you could just be looking at the wrong sites.
But even then, why don't we go natural? Perhaps it's not a HUGE factor, but I'd wager that often has something to do with the lack of representation we see of people like us. Seriously, one of the reasons I waited so long to start growing out my relaxer was because I just didn't know what the hell to do with my natural hair or how I could possibly wear it, since I like NEVER see my kind of natural hair on anyone else.
And I've looked at a lot of sites. On the majority of them, nearly EVERY example of natural hair features a lose curl. The ones with actually kinky hair are usually described as an exception to the "norm" or something. I've only found one website thus far that dedicates itself ONLY to hair like mine, and they specified that it was because it's so hard to find places that glorify our hair like they do other black hair types.

Westchester County, N.Y.-based business aviation charity Corporate Angel Network (CAN) logged a milestone last month when it transported its 40,000th cancer patient to treatment. The organization, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in December, provides patients with access to specialized treatment that would not otherwise be available. CAN's staff and volunteers arrange free air transportation for cancer patients traveling to recognized cancer treatment centers throughout the U.S. by using the empty seats on corporate aircraft that are already flying to those destinations.
Corporate Angel Network arranged corporate flights to specialized treatment for a record 3,021 cancer patients last year, a 9-percent increase over the previous high of 2,778 and 21 percent more than in 2009. "This record demonstrates the interest major corporations have in supporting cancer patients through CAN, even during challenging times when flights were being cut back," said CAN executive director Peter Fleiss.
MedAire has joined forces with Control Risks to provide one-stop advice and assistance on medical, security and travel issues. The new 24/7 service is available via a single phone number and Web portal. "Each and every security event has a medical component to it, whether physical or emotional in nature," said Control Risks CEO Richard Fenning.
The Corporate Angel Network (CAN) achieved a major milestone last month by providing air transport for its 30,000th cancer patient since its founding 26 years ago. The Westchester County, N.Y.-based national charity arranges free transport for cancer patients using empty seats on corporate and fractional aircraft. For the milestone flight, Liberty Mutual Insurance carried a patient from Atlanta to Houston's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Safe Flight Instrument Corp. (Booth No. 5194) of White Plains, N.Y., has supported the Corporate Angel Network (CAN) since its founding in 1981 and even made the first CAN flight, bringing a 16-year-old boy home to Detroit after a cancer treatment in New York City. This year Safe Flight is donating $50,000 to CAN (exhibiting in South Lobby 7), while continuing to fly cancer patients on company business trips.

Duke Energy Renewables will build, own and operate two large-scale wind farms in south Texas, the company said Thursday.
The two projects, 100 miles west of Brownsville in Starr County, will each have a capacity of 200 megawatts. By Duke's estimate, that's enough to power about 120,000 homes.
Construction will begin late this year, with the projects going into service in early 2015 and mid-2016. Two hundred wind turbines will be installed.
Once completed, Duke Renewables will own total wind-energy capacity of 2,000 megawatts, placing it among the top 10 developers in the nation.
Austin Energy will buy the new farms' output and renewable-energy credits under 25-year agreements. Austin Energy also buys the power from Duke's wind farm in Willacy and Cameron counties.

Two Motorcylce-Car Accidents Reported In Plymouth County During Weekend
(Le Mars) -- Rescue personnel responded to two separate motorcycle accidents over the weekend. The first motorcycle accident happened on Saturday afternoon at about 2:50 p.m. at the south intersection of County Road C-44 and K-49, near Hinton. The Hinton Fire and Rescue Department, along with the Hinton Ambulance responded to the accident involving a motorcylce and a car. There were injuries reported, but at this time we don't know the extent of those injuries, or the identities of those involved in the accident. A second motorcycle accident happened at about 4:45 p.m. at Akron. That accident was reported at the intersection of Highway 12 and north 8th street. Again, we are still awaiting for the police accident report to be completed in order to identify those involved with the accident.
Hinton Fire Department Responds To Silage Chopper Fire
(Hinton) -- The Hinton Fire Department was called to action on Saturday to extinguish a corn silage chopper that had caught on fire. That fire was reported at about noon Saturday at 28621 County Road K-42. Fire personnel was on the scene for approximately 45 minutes. The Hinton Fire Department and the Merrill Fire Department were also called a short time later to a fuel truck that had been leaking fuel. The incident happened at about 1:40 p.m. when a semi truck was involved in a property damage accident at the junction of Lynx Avenue and 260th Street. Fire personnel were at the scene of that accident for nearly an hour.
Sioux City Police Arrest Shooting Suspect
(Sioux City) -- The Sioux City Police Department responded to a reported shooting incident that occurred Saturday afternoon, outside of a residence at 1923 Grandview Blvd. Upon arrival, a male victim was located that had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The victim, identified as 21 year old, Lester Calderon-Hidalgo of Sioux City was transported to the Mercy Medical Center. He was treated and released. 32 year old Jose Escobar of Sioux City was arrested and taken into custody at the scene. Escobar has been charged with attempted murder, a class B felony.
Ernst And Braley Square Off In First Senate Debate
(Indianola) -- Senate Candidates Bruce Braley and Joni Ernst squared off in their first of three debates last evening at Simpson College in Indianola. Almost immediately, the two candidates started in with the verbal barbs. Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst clashed over health care, Social Security and foreign policy during the first debate of the Iowa Senate race. The two major party candidates for Iowa's U.S. Senate seat met face-to-face in an hour long debate early Sunday evening -- touting their rural Iowa roots and questioning their opponent's loyalties. Republican Joni Ernst grew up on a farm near Red Oak in southwest Iowa. Democrat Bruce Braley grew up in the small eastern Iowa town of Brooklyn, where his dad ran the grain elevator.
Listen to
Each accused the other of being beholden to special interests who're financing thousands of dollars worth of ads to try to sway Iowa voters. Braley accused Ernst of being beholden to Oklahoma billionaires who made their money in the oil industry.
Listen to
Ernst also accused Braley of doing the bidding of President Obama and Harry Reid,the Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate. Braley countered with this.
Listen to
That exchange came near the end of the debate. Both began by stressing a message to appeal to independent voters. Braley repeatedly tried to tie Ernst to the so-called "Tea Party."
Listen to
Ernst told the audience she provided voters a "clear contrast" with Braley.
Listen to
The two candidates broke no new policy ground on issues like the minimum wage and immigration. Braley charged Ernst co-sponsored legislation in the Iowa Senate that ultimately would wind up banning abortion, certain forms of contraception and invitro fertilization. Ernst said she "will support life," but she also believes "in a woman's right to contraception." Before the debate had concluded Sunday evening, each candidate had one more verbal barb.
Listen to
The debate was sponsored by The Des Moines Register and broadcast live on KCCI TV in Des Moines.
Muscatine Man Found Safe After Reported Missing
MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) - An 81-year-old Iowa man who went missing has been found safe after a chance encounter with an off-duty State Patrol trooper.
The Muscatine Journal reports that (http://bit.ly/1rEwO0q ) William Morgan, of Muscatine, was found Sunday at a campground near the Coralville Reservoir.
Morgan, who suffers from dementia and Alzheimer's disease, went missing Friday after going to a doctor's appointment in East Moline, Illinois. Authorities searched the area Friday.
One official who helped with the search, Iowa State Patrol Trooper Jesse Hernandez, was off-duty and fishing at the Coralville Reservoir on Sunday when he noticed a van that looked like Morgan's. Hernandez contacted an on duty-trooper, Dave Hughes, and they eventually found Morgan sitting on the ground by the campground's entrance. Morgan was later reunited with his family.
Authorities Investigate Two Attempted Kidnappings
GOWRIE, Iowa (AP) - Authorities are investigating two attempted kidnappings reported in the same Iowa county.
The Webster County sheriff's office received two reports on Sunday, one in the town of Gowrie and the other in Dayton.
Sheriff James Stubbs says two girls were targeted in separate instances. One is between the ages of 5 and 6, and the other is between 12 and 13 years old. Stubbs says both children are OK.
Witnesses described a white-colored vehicle in both reported kidnapping attempts. Authorities say they weren't able to give a description of a suspect, but they're conducting interviews and hope to provide more information.
Council Bluffs Mourns Death Of Teen After Fight In School
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - The Council Bluffs community has come together to remember a western Iowa 17-year-old who died from a head injury suffered during a fight at school.
Friends of Dakota Escritt released balloons at a memorial Sunday night. He died Saturday at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, two days after he hit his head on the tile floor at Abraham Lincoln High School.
Authorities have filed an assault charge against a 16-year-old boy, who was suspended from school. The Associated Press generally does not identify juveniles accused of crimes.
Superintendent Martha Bruckner tells KETV-TV the fight appeared to be a random, isolated incident that no policy could have prevented.

Excellent care so far!!! World of difference from past daycare - teachers truly care and interact with the children in a loving way. Child comes home having learned new concepts. Way above and beyond on 'special days'/holidays! Very impressed! Thanks for allowing me to be able to go to work again without dreading every minute that I have leave my child in daycare!
This daycare is great with my kids and the teachers work with the kids and really care. It may cost a little more but the quality is the best in the community.
My kids love going to Kids Kampus the teachers are great and the directors go above and beyond for both of my kids. My kids are eager to show me what new and exciting project they made in class.
I love this place! Our child looks forward to going. Their summer program is good, keeps kids busy. I am impressed with how much they do in the pre-k room to get the kids ready for kindergraten.
I've come in several times to find the staff yelling at the kids. It seems very hostile in this place, and my child no longer goes there.
The teachers are nice and friendly. I do not worry about her well being there, however, their menus are a bit strange for children and it seems more of taking care of the children and playing, than learning and school. Kid's Kampus also charges more than most, even Mother Goose which is an excellent preschool and daycare!

News Briefs

+ Buchanan urges FDA for title regulations
U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, in a Jan. 28 letter to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, urged the Food and Drug Administration to place tighter controls on prescription painkillers containing the active ingredient hydrocodone.
Buchanan introduced legislation in the last Congress to reclassify hydrocodone combination drugs from a Schedule III to a Schedule II drug, which makes them more difficult to prescribe and obtain.
"This epidemic has reached such disastrous proportions that fatal drug overdoses now outnumber the total amount of traffic fatalities in this country. Products containing hydrocodone, such as Vicodin and Lortab, are fueling this epidemic," Buchanan and U.S. Rep. Edward Markey wrote in the letter to Hamburg.
Fifty-eight members of Congress endorsed the legislation, called the Pill Mill Crackdown Act.
Two weeks ago, an FDA advisory panel voted 19-10 to place new restrictions on narcotic painkillers containing hydrocodone. The FDA is expected to review the recommendation in the coming months.

In my experience, not really. Greasier foods make for unpleasantness on occasion, so those are something to cut back on. But aside from that, everything is pretty much the same.
A good excuse to cut down on greasy foods then. I've been meaning to do that anyway. Thanks for the support and well-wishes, sir.

Cleveland Cavaliers 101, Phoenix Suns 90
The post-LeBron apocalypse Cleveland Cavaliers aren't looking too shabby in the beginning of a new era.
Led by No. 1 overall pick Kyrie Irving, the Cavs face the fellow 4-5 Phoenix Suns tonight in US Airways Center. For the Suns, it's a grand opportunity to shake off their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers that came by way of an ugly six minutes ruining an otherwise strong effort. On the Cavs' end, it's the fifth game of a road trip that has been quite unkind.
Veteran forward Antawn Jamison leads the Cavaliers with 16.7 points per game, but it's Irving that's bringing all the hype. The 6-foot-3, 191-pound point guard out of Duke has been averaging 15.6 points and 5.1 assists per game, and his role within the offense is only growing, according to Tom Reed of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
But it's how Irving scores that could pose problems for the Suns.
The rookie has an elite initial burst of speed that's embarrassing NBA-level defenders, writes Reed. Irving hasn't been shy about getting around his defenders and to the basket, and he'll be counted upon to take around 13 shots per game, all while keeping his teammates involved. Per Reed:
"Irving (6-3, 191) has demonstrated a fearlessness, however, in getting to the basket and not letting a few bumps or blocked shots deter him. Utah's Gordon Hayward swatted away one shot Tuesday which led to a Jazz transition basket. Moments later, Irving was attacking the lane again."
In 26.8 minutes per game, Irving is putting up a PER rating of 19.86 — for perspective, Steve Nash currently has a 20.96 PER. Likely, either the 39-year-old Grant Hill or the 37-year-old Nash will have the task of slowing down the 19-year-old speedburner. Hill could also defend Jamison — these possibilities show how versatile he is — so how Gentry decides to handle Irving will be an interesting development.
And limiting Irving could do the Suns wonders. Like Phoenix, Cleveland doesn't have many pure scorers, as backup point guard Ramon Sessions is third on the team with an average of 10.3 points per game.
One for the taking?
The Cavs could be vulnerable coming into US Airways Center tonight. Aside from the 13-year veteran in Jamison, eight-year NBA journeyman Anthony Parker and seven-year rebounding guru Anderson Varejao, Cleveland is an inexperienced team.
They have two players in their third NBA seasons, four players in their second, and three rookies. Add in the fact their game against Phoenix is the fifth of a seven-game road swing, and all bets should be on the Suns.
Cleveland lost the first game of the trip to the Raptors, beat the Timberwolves, then lost to Portland and Utah. Meanwhile, they've given up no less than 28 points to opposing big men, though it's never an easy task to silence Andrea Bargnani (31 points against Cleveland), Kevin Love (29 points), LaMarcus Aldridge (28 points), and Al Jefferson (30 points).
Redd could see time
Scott Bordow of The Arizona Republic wrote Wednesday that Phoenix shooting guard Michael Redd might debut against the Cavs, though Gentry wasn't set on anything quite yet.
If the Suns play as well as they did against Portland and Milwaukee, the fourth quarter would probably be the best time to give Redd a trial run. Sure, it would be nice to see how he meshes with the starters, but the guy has just 28 games of NBA-level competition in the last two seasons.
There's plenty of rust to shake off, although hitting a few jumpers in garbage time could twist Gentry's wrist into quickening the process of Redd's return.
And 1
Paola Boivin writes on the Blue Devil connection between Hill and Irving.

The NHL is setting out to play six outdoor (NHL Stadium Series) games this year. That's five too many for my liking. The biggest question mark is the game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks to be held on January 25th. The outdoor games are the NHL's way of celebrating the games heritage. But, an outdoor hockey game near a beach is not celebrating the game; it's a cash grab.
There is a lot of reason why this game should not happen in my option. I believe that an event like this should take place in cities, and towns where hockey has roots. It's this simple.
The game of hockey was and still is played on frozen lakes, rivers, streams, and backyard rinks; none of which are found in Los Angeles.
I view this game as a slap in the face of NHL fans; the same fans that only a year ago had to endure a lock-out by this very league. Players and owners fighting over money, only to take the ice and have nothing really change. Now, the NHL is looking to boost their bank accounts and it seem they will do it by any means necessary. The NHL is billed as the "best" hockey league in the world; I would expect more from the best.
Currently both the Ducks and Kings are in line for a playoff berth. If I was a fan of ether team I wouldn't love the idea of this game counting. The Ducks have 77 points and seem to be a lock for the playoffs, but the Kings may still have a fight on their hands. L.A has 63 points and is only 6 points up on the Vancouver Canucks.
The NHL needs to make sure this game goes off without any problems. If this league fails to do so the result could be damaging to teams players, and the league.
As I've said before this game is not about hockey; it's about the money.
*While a lot of people including myself are questioning the weather; I've found that the NHL has pulled off an outdoor game in warmer weather than is expected on January 25th. In 1991 the NHL held an outdoor game in Las Vegas. The temperature at puck drop was 85 degrees. It took three times the refrigeration equipment as one would for a regular rink to maintain a safe and playable ice surface. The Kings also took part in that game.
Lets us know how you feel about this game.

Two weekend events, at opposite ends of the country, suggest that despite the recession-induced automotive slump, America's love affair with the automobile is as strong as ever.
Italy's love affair with fast cars has become the latest victim of the eurozone crunch after figures revealed that domestic sales of Ferraris and Maseratis had more than halved.
As an old runner I used to dream of 26.2 miles, but had to settle for 13.1 (now down to 6.2 in my dotage).
From the NBER Digest:
Here I offer some observations on what's been holding back the recovery.
Two of the most important sectors in U.S. business cycle fluctuations are autos and housing. For example, in the 2007:Q4-2009:Q2 recession, real GDP fell on average at a 2.7% annual rate, with autos and housing accounting for about half of this decline all by themselves.

SAN JOSE CHIAPA, Mexico (Reuters) - The automotive industry's growing love affair with Mexico was celebrated here on Saturday as Audi executives laid the foundation stone for its first assembly plant in the Americas.
It's pretty grim really. These surveys are pointing to a pretty deep recession
LONDON/SINGAPORE — Eurozone factories sank deeper into recession in December as new orders tumbled, business surveys showed on Wednesday, a sharp contrast to continuing signs of revival in China.
U.S. manufacturing reports, to be released later in the day, are expected to show activity in the world's largest economy to have expanded modestly.
America's love affair with the car continues. Sonic Automotive, Inc. (SAH) saw both new and used car sales up double digits in the third quarter. This Zacks #1 Rank (strong buy) is an attractive value stock with a forward P/E of 11.4.

Youth Ministry Focus: Power Of The People
- Tuesday, June 08, 2004
They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet. (Matthew 21:46 - NIV)
A couple of years ago, a friend asked if I would help him put some bath board behind his tub. Of course, I volunteered for the project before he learned the hard way that when it comes to construction skills in my immediate family, I got the short end of the stick. A little job that should have taken two 4x8 sheets of material ended up taking four and costing more. Good thing I live by the rule that "spackle covers a multitude of sins." That same principle can be effectively applied to our ministries. Let's really think about it.
Cracks And Holes
If you notice what the dictionary says about spackle, most definitions use the words "to fill cracks or holes." Those five words have more meaning in ministry than you might initially think. Between our relationships with students that are often spread thin throughout the church and community, there are countless other individuals who influence the lives of young people.
We know that relationships with the pastor of the church and the parents of the teens are significant. Connecting with these folks must be a priority. We can't effectively minister under the vision of a pastor we don't have an intimate relationship with; our ministries are an extension of the responsibility he/she has in their role as the shepherd.
Additionally, when it comes to parents we must remember that they have the most influence on the spiritual development of their young person. Now, let's talk about the other people we affectionately call "spackle."
We viewed the power of the people in Mel Gibson's, The Passion of the Christ. The scenes that depicted an angry crowd parading Jesus before Pontius Pilot to act as judge and jury showed us the influence of the public. Prior to that event the Jewish leaders were plotting a scheme to have Jesus arrested because they were afraid of their own people as depicted in today's text. There is a valuable lesson for us to learn from this.
"Many youth leaders have learned the hard way that putting all our eggs in the basket of student contact can get us worn-out, burned-out or thrown-out."
The people in our churches and the public in our communities have real opinions, and those attitudes are very valid. Too often, I hear young youth leaders make statements like, "I don't care what they think." That is a dangerous mindset. When I was about 16 years old, my mother made a statement to me that I will never forget, "Tim, if people don't like you for who you are that's their problem, but right now, you're being an idiot."
The truth hurts, and we must care what others think about our youth ministries. Their mindset matters to those they influence and that public opinion can have an incredible impact upon our effectiveness with young people.

News Release
April 9, 2014
Spring Wildlife/Wildlands Art EXPO Reception Scheduled for April 11 5-8pm at National Wildlife Refuges Visitor Center
The Spring Wildlife/Wildlands Art Expo at the National Wildlife Refuges Visitor Center on Roanoke Island will kick-off with a reception this Friday, April 11 from 5-8pm. This Art Expo will feature varied artists from the Raleigh/Durham Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America.
Annette Kirk, representative for the Society said, "All of the artwork is original and is done primarily in colored pencil, although other media, like watercolor, may be included.
Our chapter conducts a weekly open studio, holds workshops, sponsors exhibitions and is involved in other activities to promote, teach and encourage the use of colored pencils in fine art.
We have all levels of ability represented, from beginner to professional. A number of our artists have been accepted into the CPSA International Exhibition, which is quite an honor because the quality of work submitted is very high. One of our members, Liz Guzynski, was awarded Best in Show in 2012 for her beautiful drawing of hydrangeas. "
Fine art colored pencils are relatively new to the art world, having just been introduced in the 1920s. Considering that other art materials, such as oils and watercolors, have been used continuously in Western art for centuries, it is astounding how quickly colored pencils are becoming an enduring part of the art scene in the United States, as well as around the world. It is not surprising, however, because their color intensity and depth, ability to create fine detail, and their durability make them ideal for rendering many different subjects, from illustration to landscapes to portraits. Since colored pencils are a transparent medium, luminous and vibrant colors can be created by layering. The pigments used in artist grade pencils resist fading, so paintings and drawings done in colored pencil on archival papers or art boards can be handed down from generation to generation.
The Colored Pencil Society of America was founded in 1990 by Vera Curnow. There are presently 27 district chapters throughout the country, and almost 2000 members. While located in the Triangle, the Raleigh-Durham District Chapter has a mission to support artists throughout the Carolinas. For more information, visit the Colored Pencil Society of America website at www.CPSA.org or the Raleigh- Durham Chapter website at www.cpsadc114.org.
Please join us for the reception on Friday, or drop by the Visitor Center any time 9am-4pm Monday - Saturday or noon-4pm on Sundays to view the art. For more information, contact Susie Kowlok at 252-473-1131 ext 226 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
These beautiful colored pencil works were created by Jackie Balog, member of the Raleigh/Durham Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America, and are a part of the Wildlife/Wildlands Art Expo opening this Friday. Many additional pieces of original artwork will be on display at the national Wildlife Refuges Visitor Center, beginning this Friday. A reception will be held from 5-8pm; the reception and the show are free and open to the public. Photo Credit: Jackie Balog.

Now raising intellectual capital
Cadbury's Kraft sugar rush overdone
Kraft's offer for Cadbury got off to a sticky start on Tuesday when the U.S. food group's stock fell 6 percent, taking some of the buzz out of Cadbury's bid-fuelled share price.
Kraft's initial offer has raised expectations of a higher bid, but while it is likely to have to pay more to win, the take-out prices now being touted are stretching the value of the British confectionery group further than a Curly Wurly.
The multiple paid by Mars to Wrigley — some 17.5 times EBITDA — has encouraged analysts to look for a valuation of 15-16 times forecast 2009 EBITDA, implying a price of 10 pounds or more, against Kraft's 7.16 pound per share offer after the fall in the Kraft price. The Cadbury share price also gave up some of its gains, but is still well above the value of the bid.
But comparisons with the Wrigley takeover and recent deals — the average multiple for big food deals has been 14 times EBITDA over the last 10 years — do not adequately factor in the higher cost of capital since the Mars deal. As a private company, Mars could also pursue a fully-priced bid without rattling its shareholders.

Why Microsoft absolutely DOESN'T need its own Steve Jobs
Discussed this the other week in the pub. Biggest problem is that they never did a back port of TIFKAM to earlier versions of windows (7 at least, Vista maybe?)
Microsoft tried with WPF to make it Vista or higher. Like many other developers I moaned at Microsoft DPEs about this and eventually the decision to do a back port to XP was taken. They have made the same mistake this time and didn't correct themselves.
As a developer my choices are HTML/CSS/JS in a web browser where OS versions don't matter, WPF / Winforms / MFC for a desktop application which will work on everything from XP upwards and finally TIFKAM which will only works on Windows 8. If it's a corporate application it's likely the desktop will be Windows 7 (the new XP)
If Microsoft back ported to Windows 7 a version of TIFKAM then I'd think about developing for it but until then I'm ignoring it as a waste of my time.
After buying a new laptop for home use (Lenovo Yoga) recently when it's in tablet mode the TIFKAM does actually make a reasonable experience (and the existing windows desktop was never going to provide that), the shame is when I'm in "laptop" mode it feels "clunky" as I find the switch from desktop to menu jarring. I'm going to keep trying until after Christmas particularly as this time I have a touchscreen but I suspect I'll probably give in and install a start menu replacement.

Cable vendor slapped for unproven claims
Directional audio
As an ex-coworker of mine doug self says:

Microsoft releases FixIt for critical flaw in 100 apps
Well it's now an admin problem.
This is about as much as Microsoft can do for the moment. If you install the fix and tell it to disallow running from the current working directory in all circumstances then it breaks Google Chrome (at least the per-user install I had).
For Microsoft the problem is that this is a tricky one to get right. Disabling the run from WebDav / file share approach might break 0.05% of apps out there but thats a lot of upset customers, I've gone for the more nuclear disable running from the current working directory approach (which I'd guess could break 2-3% of apps depending on how they're installed)
For now if I was an admin I'd push this out in disable webdav mode, see what breaks and add the registry entries to unpatch the apps that break while I waited for the app developers to generate fixes.
All in all a nasty problem which has exploded and there are no easy fixes.

Woody Allen, left, and John Turturro star in the story of a basically broke and direction less man (Turturro) who becomes a professional Romeo in 'Fading Gigolo.' (Jojo Whilden)
�Fading Gigolo� does indeed fade, but its initial buoyant goofiness leaves a lingering glow.
It�s written and directed by John Turturro, who also stars as Fioravante, a book lover who works part time in a flower shop, a guy who�s basically broke and directionless.
One day his longtime buddy, book shop owner Murray (Woody Allen), offers up a proposal: His doctor (Sharon Stone) and her lover (Sofia Vergara) are looking to rent a gigolo for an amorous encounter. Is Fioravante up for the gig?
Eventually Murray suggests they go into business together, with Murray playing pimp and Fioravante professional Romeo. And so they do.
The sheer absurdity of the 78-year-old Allen turning to pimping late in life is comic gold. And, of course, Fioravante turns out to be a suave and caring Casanova. Business begins booming.
But then Murray sets Fioravante up with a widow, an orthodox Jew named Avigal (a luminous Vanessa Paradis). And when Fioravante can�t help falling for this fragile, lonely woman, love undercuts his mojo.
As sweet as the chaste romance between Fioravante and Avigal is, it throws the film off kilter. Eventually Murray is kidnapped by an orthodox Jew neighborhood watch officer (Liev Schreiber) and brought before some religious tribunal. Which gives Allen plenty of stuff to have fun with, but somehow the whole pimp-gigolo thing has been left behind.
Obviously Turturro doesn�t care how preposterous or loose his story is. He�s just trying to have fun with the characters while offering small insights into the nature of love and desire. Along the way he gives Allen his funniest role in years. �Fading Gigolo� may be far from perfect, but it�s near impossible to dislike.

Re:Really Stupid (1198 comments)
I dunno, I've deprived myself of oxygen before. Just breath in a bag for awhile. You'll go into full panic long before reaching the point of losing consciousness.
On the other hand, I've also cut the flow of blood to my brain by constricting my jugglers, and actually passed out a couple times doing it. I freaked a bunch of kids out in grade school doing it in class, actually. It's completely painless and doesn't trigger the slightest bit of panic. You can be pleasantly unconscious in 15 seconds that way. I suspect that bleeding to death is similar.
How long would it take to drain an inmate's circulatory system to the point of rapid unconsciousness? Guaranteed to kill, and no less humane than lethal injection.
Re:Assisted Suicide (1198 comments)
I LOVE this idea. Except, I would expand it make it a no-strings-attached option for anyone charged with any felony, maybe even any misdemeanor. Change the guilty plea to, "how do you plead, guilty, not guilty, or kill me now?" And, of course, the option should be extended to anyone currently service time.

Re:locking? (372 comments)
I stand corrected. And somewhat confused. I found the 6.5 release notes:
"Multi-version concurrency control(MVCC)
This removes our old table-level locking, and replaces it with a locking system that is superior to most commercial database systems. In a traditional system, each row that is modified is locked until committed, preventing reads by other users. MVCC uses the natural multi-version nature of PostgreSQL to allow readers to continue reading consistent data during writer activity. Writers continue to use the compact pg_log transaction system. This is all performed without having to allocate a lock for every row like traditional database systems. So, basically, we no longer are restricted by simple table-level locking; we have something better than row-level locking."
That seems to imply that the "MV" existed, perhaps all along, but that the "CC" part was new in 6.5. Maybe that explains my confusion. Anyway, that was a long time ago. Thanks for whacking me with the clue stick
Re:Why Oracle? (372 comments)
I never had to. But that's beside the point
There was always a latent threat of switching to MSSQL, for the exact reasons presented and debunked above. It could easily have happened, and I like to think I did a decent job of being about as ready for such a shift as possible.
Re:locking? (372 comments)
As far as I know, Postgres has had MVCC from the start. I started dabbling in it at 6.4 (before it was enterprise ready IMO), and it certainly had it then.
MSSQL has also had a variant of MVCC since, um, 2005 I think. Can't be bothered to go look
Re:Does Postgres do online backup? (372 comments)
I've had very few problems with Postgres that weren't actually a result of my own mistakes, and of course I handled them by fixing those mistakes. Any time I've actually needed to lean on someone else, the mailing lists have been very helpful, and very quick to respond. Not only that, but the mailing lists are frequented by the actual developers, so when you ask a question about some specific aspect of Postgres, there's a good chance you'll be answered by one of the people who actually built or at least maintains that piece of the code. As apposed to some clown reading from a script of trouble shooting bullshit who doesn't even know what language the software is written in. That, to me, is the very best kind of support there is.
Re:Liability (372 comments)
How is any of that different with Postgres? Either way, you restore from back up and away you go. In neither case did blaming a software company get you out of trouble. That's why I say, it's a sham. You pay big money for something that, at the end of the day, isn't really worth a penny.
Re:Liability (372 comments)
And the story of shifting liability is such a sham. Oracle isn't liable for anything. If you install Oracle and lose a bunch of data, you're still liable for it. And even if Oracle was liable, is that going to get your data back? No.
Re:Why Oracle? (372 comments)
I wrote against Postgres for years and avoided stored procedures as much as possible for exactly the reason you describe; to avoid lock in. I never understood why so many people are perfectly happy to dive right into lockedinville. Avoiding lock in always served me and my company well.

Access to Quality Medicines and Medical Devices for Diabetes Care in Europe
The first of its kind in the field of diabetes, this IDF Europe study highlights constraints and disparities in access to medicines and medical devices for diabetes care in 47 European countries. Based on over 1,150 answers to a survey questionnaire, interviews and desk research, it aims to provide evidence to policy makers and stakeholders on the bottlenecks and inequalities faced by people living with diabetes in terms of access to the treatment they need. The study assesses key dimensions of access (availability, accessibility, affordability, quality and equity) to a range of treatment options used in diabetes care at country level, while offering a comparative, regional perspective that may inspire new solutions based on other countries' experiences.

Cash still rules the roostDOWNLOAD
Deloitte Private has warned its clients that even though Australia has weathered the economic downturn better than most other developed countries, the economic climate is still tough and businesses need to be prepared to carefully manage their cash flow if they are to successfully manage out of volatile times.
"One of the most common reasons for business constriction, or even failure, is insufficient cash flow. It is therefore critical that in the current environment business leaders put into practice the art of good cash flow management. Now more than ever, cash is king," said Austin Scott, Deloitte Private Partner.
"The global economic crisis was characterised by a massive contraction in the availability of credit to the real economy, and has resulted in some major structural changes in the Australian lending market."
Businesses should not assume that their existing debt providers will automatically extend their lines of credit. Banks are scrutinising credit quality and seeking greater collateral in the current environment. Gearing levels viewed as being conservative by the banks 24 months ago may now be considered excessive.
"Good preparation is recommended prior to any application for new credit. Having a clear understanding of what funding providers are looking for increases the likelihood of securing a good deal.
A well thought out business plan that clearly articulates the business' core strategy is vital as it demonstrates how the additional funding will be used to benefit the business and how it will ultimately be repaid," added Mr Scott. Visibility into actual and future expected cash flows is essential for management to be able to plan and manage business' funding requirements. Forecast models are vital for cash flow management; however a model is only as good as the quality of the underlying assumptions.
"In order for business owners to be prepared for worst case scenarios it is prudent they do sensitivity analysis as this usually provides them with good insights into the types of measures that may need to be employed if events actually do take a turn for the worst," said Mr Scott.
Relying on short term borrowings is not ideal and business owners need to consider opportunities in order to create cash quickly and to preserve cash resources.
If working capital is tied up in slow moving and less profitable product lines then this can be rectified by undertaking an analysis of the current portfolio and focusing on the faster moving, more profitable items.
Many of Deloitte's clients use 3-D, a new excel based cash flow tool that helps manage the challenges of operating in a tough economic environment.

Buffalo, N.Y. (WKBW release) -- U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced Wednesday that Michael Vickery, 34, of Orchard Park, N.Y., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara to theft of mail matter by a postal employee.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a fine $250,000 or both. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 22.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie P. Grisanti, who is handling the case, stated that the defendant opened more than 23 pieces of mail and stole cash and lottery tickets contained in the envelopes. The investigation began in 2010 after several tenants at Creek Bend Apartments in Hamburg reported that their outgoing mail had been rifled and cash and NYS Lottery scratch off tickets enclosed in that mail had been stolen. The value of the items stolen by the defendant totaled $281.00.

The Post-Lecture Classroom: How Will Students Fare?
If college professors spent less time lecturing, would their students do better?
A three-year study examining student performance in a "flipped classroom" — a class in which students watch short lecture videos at home and work on activities during class time — has found statistically significant gains in student performance in "flipped" settings and significant student preference for "flipped" methods.
The study, provided exclusively to The Atlantic, is one of the first to examine a "flipped" classroom in the current state of its technology. Russell Mumper, a Vice Dean at the University of North Carolina's Eshelman School of Pharmacy, conducted the study, and two separate articles based on its findings are now in press in the journals Academic Medicine and The American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education. The education technology company Echo360, whose technology was used in the classes examined, funded the study with a $10,000 grant.
The study examined three years of a foundational pharmaceutics course, required for all doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.) students attending UNC. In 2011, Mumper taught the course in a standard, PowerPoint-aided lecture format. In 2012 and 2013, he taught it using "flipped" methods. Student performance on an identical final exam improved by 2.5 percent between 2011 and 2012—results now in press at Academic Medicine—and by an additional 2.6 percent in 2013. Overall, student performance on an identical final exam improved between 2011 and 2013 by 5.1 percent.
Students also came to prefer the flipped model to the lecture model. While 75 percent of students in 2012 said, before Mumper's class, that they preferred lectures, almost 90 percent of students said they preferred the flipped model after the class.
"As I always like to say, we flipped their preference," Mumper told me. "They went from largely wanting and valuing lectures to just the opposite."
