The box is a reminder of the true cases of performance bottlenecks.

So I picked 8 lbs of raspberries and made a 2 gallon batch of wine. Its been fermenting for almost a week now. Last night the SG was 1.009, and it tasted perfect so I wanted to stop fermentation. I added 2.5 tsp potassium sorbate (bottle calls for 1 tsp per gallon to prevent renewed fermentation when sweetening).
It was still going strong this morning so I added another tsp. Tonight the airlock is still bubbling away.... do I add even more to stop it, or will more start to introduce off flavors?
Adding potassium sorbate WILL NOT stop an active fermentation, it does not kill the yeast, it will however keep the yeast from reproducing. I would not add anymore to the wine. Wait for the fermentation to stop and see where your gravity is, you will most likely have to back sweeten to get back to 1.009.
To TRY to stop an active ferment you typically cold crash, rack, stabilize, sterile filter and typically keep wine in a cool climate. Difficult but some people accomplish it. Or you cold crash, rack, and fortify with a high proof liquor. Or pasteurize.
But in all reality the best thing you can do is allow the wine to ferment to as dry as it is going to go and then stabilize with k-meta plus sorbate and then back-sweeten.
That much sorbate can add an off-flavor to your wine, you definitely won't need to dose it with any additional sorbate at this point, unless of course your sorbate was old and expired.

All About Web Hosting: What You Should Know
Web hosting Is something that all website owners need. Hosting enables your website to be placed live on the internet so that it can be seen and accessible by the consumer. Every website that is out there has a host that is supporting it. In order to get your own web hosting serving it will cost you a few dollars per month in most cases, though there are an increasing number of companies that offer free hosting. Luckily web hosting is inexpensive if you elect to pay for services, and there are hundreds of companies to select from to get the hosting that your website needs.
The Internet Protocol address, more commonly known as the IP address, is a numerical address that is found on the server. The naked eye cannot read the IP address, but the server acts metaphorically and breaks it down so that the computer can read it. This is why it is so important that a unique address be created with your domain name. The IP address is essentially the websites home, the place where it lives.
Several types of web hosting is available, and the type of hosting that you is depends largely on the content that you are putting out. For example, if you are creating a personal website or a blog you may be comfortable using shared hosting. Shared hosting is a single server that is used to host dozens to hundreds or more webmasters efforts. The shared hosting enables a user to access their site and a number of features and each person can access only their portion of the site. This type of hosting is very popular, as it is the cheapest form of hosting that you will find. web developer san diego has several good options.
If you have a business then you want to initiate Virtual Private Server hosting, or VPS hosting. This type of hosting provides a much more comprehensive selection of services that can be expanded. And, it is great for businesses of all sizes, especially those who are experiencing or anticipate to get a large volume of traffic to their site.
Dedicated servers are also available, and these types of hosting is used by larger corporations and business who want only their site to be hosted. There is no sharing space with anyone else, so having a dedicated server allows the user to do more than they otherwise would be able to do. Although you may not want to start out using a dedicated server, it should certainly be a goal that you have in place for the future.

Well, technically no one knows if it's his girlfriend or not but that's not even our business. The "pantsless" pic he's referring to is a picture she instagrammed with what was supposedly with his cat, in a bed and everyone assumed she was pantsless.
In short, it's a lot of supposition on a subject that's not even our business to suppose on really. Imo only, whoever he sees or whatever he does in his personal life is his private business. Same thing for his kid, I occasionally blog pics of his kid that HE tweets out, but I never blog pics that aren't sent out by Norman or Helena. That's not right, to me. He gets so little privacy as it is.

The protein product of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ORF47 is a serine/threonine protein kinase and tegument component. Evaluation of two recombinants of the Oka strain, rOka47DeltaC, with a C-terminal truncation of ORF47, and rOka47D-N, with a point mutation in the conserved kinase motif, showed that ORF47 kinase function was necessary for optimal VZV replication in human skin xenografts in SCID mice but not in cultured cells. We now demonstrate that rOka47DeltaC and rOka47D-N mutants do not infect human T-cell xenografts. Differences in the growth of kinase-defective ORF47 mutants allowed an examination of requirements for VZV pathogenesis in skin and T cells in vivo. Although virion assembly was reduced and no virion transport to cell surfaces was observed, epidermal cell fusion persisted, and VZV polykaryocytes were generated by rOka47DeltaC and rOka47D-N in skin. Virion assembly was also impaired in vitro, but VZV-induced cell fusion continued to cause syncytia in cultured cells infected with rOka47DeltaC or rOka47D-N. Intracellular trafficking of envelope glycoprotein E and the ORF47 and IE62 proteins, components of the tegument, was aberrant without ORF47 kinase activity. In summary, normal VZV virion assembly appears to require ORF47 kinase function. Cell fusion was induced by ORF47 mutants in skin, and cell-cell spread occurred even though virion formation was deficient. VZV-infected T cells do not undergo cell fusion, and impaired virion assembly by ORF47 mutants was associated with a complete elimination of T-cell infectivity. These observations suggest a differential requirement for cell fusion and virion formation in the pathogenesis of VZV infection in skin and T cells.

Partnerships and linkages to HIV on agenda at small islands conference
Partnerships and linkages to HIV on agenda at small islands conference
01 September 2014
The Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS), taking place from 1 to 4 September in Apia, Samoa, is focusing the world's attention on a group of states and territories that have unique challenges for sustainable development owing to their small size, limited resource base and exposure to natural disasters.
The theme of the conference, "Sustainable development of SIDS through genuine and durable partnerships", underscores the importance of a multisectoral approach to innovative and sustainable solutions to the challenges experienced by SIDS. Participating in the conference is UNAIDS Deputy Executive Director Jan Beagle, who will share UNAIDS' perspective on how diverse partnerships have transformed the AIDS response and will highlight the linkages between HIV and many key issues on the conference agenda, such as noncommunicable diseases and gender inequality.
The conference's draft outcome document, the SIDS accelerated modalities of action pathway, includes a commitment from member states to support SIDS in achieving universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support and to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV
"The power of the AIDS movement has been its ability to build diverse coalitions of stakeholders for results. SIDS 2014 presents an opportunity for small island developing states to do the same—to chart an innovative and sustainable development agenda that speaks to their unique challenges by leveraging synergies across economic, environmental and social movements."

A U.K.-based start-up is developing technology that live-streams outdoor views into lifts.
A self-contained elevator unit with an integral machine room.
Escalator designed for retail environments.
Intelligent Tilt Alignment assists with tilt and lift positions, independent control of blinds, and preset heights and tilt angles for blinds.
By adapting an elevator cab's energy consumption to a building's traffic patterns, PORT seeks to reduce energy usage
As long as they're in working order (and timely enough), elevators don't get much consideration from their users. That's because a firm like Lerch Bates has already done the hard thinking.
Projector's display position can be set at any point with infinite adjustability, up to 48" extension
Three models with glass panel, glass panel with under-handrail lighting, or stainless panel
Saves energy (between 20 and 40 percent compared to traditional escalators) while maintaining normal speed
Customizes service for each elevator passenger by electronic identification badges, key rings, or watches or by PIN codes to call the optimal car based on the rider's authorizations or physical limitations

Problem Description
Some CE-510-K9 with dual drives were not properly loaded in manufacturing and will not boot correctly.
The manufacturing process did not complete properly for some CE-510-K9 units with dual disk drives and the system's Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) settings need to be saved.
Problem Symptoms
CE-510-K9 with dual drives does not boot to the Cisco Application and Content Networking Software (ACNS) prompt.
If a CE-510-K9 with dual drives will not boot properly do the following:
The system will reboot and the ACNS software should now boot properly.
How To Identify Hardware Levels
This failure is not tied to a particular hardware version. To determine if your unit has multiple drives, check your Purchase Order or physically inspect the unit.
If the cover is removed from the top of the CE-510-K9, the customer can readily see whether the device has one drive or two drives and whether the cables are connected correctly. One drive resides under the compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) drive. The other drive resides under the flash memory module. Also, during boot, there is a couple of seconds in which a blue bar is displayed at the top of the screen containing yellow text that shows the BIOS setup. This shows what drives are attached.

Summer Greens & Peach Juice
Fresh greens are in season right now, and they're a great addition to any juice or smoothie. This juice has a nice mixture of both mild and bitter greens like arugula and frisee, but is nicely balanced by the sweetness in the peaches and carrots.
Peaches and carrots are a good source of the immune-boosting and antioxidant vitamin C, that also plays a role in collagen development helping to improve the appearance of the skin. Ginger and lemon also have immune-boosting and digestive properties that can help fight summer colds and promote healthy digestion and metabolism.
To mix it up, substitute any in-season summer greens for the arugula and frisee and try subbing other fruits like pears for peaches to provide variety in taste.
1 peach
1/2 lemon
1-inch/2.5 cm piece of ginger
5 – 6 carrots
1 handful of arugula (rocket)
1 handful of frisee
1. Wash and prepare ingredients.
2. Add ingredients through juicer.
3. Serve and enjoy!

The Future of DiscoverEd
The DiscoverEd project was started in 2008 to explore how structured data could be applied to improving search for open educational resources (OER). Since then we have seen the ability of a working prototype to engage people's imaginations, and have been fortunate to have our work supported by the Hewlett Foundation, Open Society Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, through their support of AgShare. Today, in an effort to focus our resources and expertise on areas that will have maximum impact, we're discontinuing development of the project.
DiscoverEd was initially conceived as a Google Custom Search Engine (CSE), which would utilize labels provided by curators. When we ran into issues with applying labels at the resource level, instead of to broad URL patterns, we began to look for alternate implementations. Creative Commons chose to build on Apache Nutch, an open source search engine. We previously built on Nutch when developing the prototype CC Search in 2003-2004, which was later retired when Yahoo! and later Google added CC support to their search products.
Building on Apache Nutch, we added the ability to index and search on structured data encountered in web pages. This structured data, usually in the form of RDFa, could describe the license, subject area, education level, or language of a resource. In developing DiscoverEd, we recognized that structured data could be useful more broadly than just for OER, so while these are the fields we focused on as a starting point, DiscoverEd indexes all structured data it encounters, making it very flexible for emergent and exploratory vocabularies.
DiscoverEd succeeded in demonstrating how structured data and full text indexing can work together to provide a richer, more flexible search interface. By allowing users to perform an initial search using a familiar keyword search, and then refine by additional fields, users are able to iteratively refine their search. (See our paper from OpenEd 2010 for a fuller discussion of the search interface implemented, and how it addressees user needs.) The code for DiscoverEd is freely available under the Apache Software License, and can be found in its repository hosted by Gitorious. While Creative Commons is not currently developing the code, we may return to it in the future if an opportunity presents itself, or if there is a need to test additional ideas related to search and discovery.
Creative Commons is discontinuing development to focus our resources and expertise where we can have maximum impact. We do not have the resources needed to run DiscoverEd at web scale, but would love to see someone take that on. Through the development of DiscoverEd, Creative Commons has observed that there have been many attempts to describe educational resources and how they relate together in a complete, rigorous manner. These attempts have failed to gain the traction necessary for widespread adoption on the scale of Dublin Core, or CC REL. There is an opportunity for the community to build consensus around a set of properties for describing resources, attempting to balance utility (enough information to be useful) with succinctness (only describing that which is necessary, to avoid unnecessary impediments to adoption).
With the generous support of the Hewlett Foundation, Creative Commons will be working over the next year to identify key factors to success. You can follow the work in the "Describing OER" category on this blog, or on the Describing OER wiki page.
Update/Clarification (13 April 2011): Search for CC licensed ("open") content is largely solved: Google has implemented a version at web scale, and CC REL provides a clear mechanism for marking and labeling. However, search and discovery for open educational resources is not a solved problem: many projects, including DiscoverEd, have tried different approaches to the issue, but none has successfully deployed a web scale OER search engine. Creative Commons has identified the lack of a vocabulary with widespread adoption as one issue impeding progress. While we plan to focus our efforts on that particular problem, we encourage others to continue working on the larger challenge of OER discovery.Comments Off
Supporting tools for decentralized metadata
Over the past couple years Creative Commons has built DiscoverEd, a prototype search and discovery tool. We built DiscoverEd to explore how search for open educational resources (OER) could be improved through the use of decentralized metadata. But DiscoverEd was never an end point. DiscoverEd is one of what we hope will be many applications developed to leverage decentralized, structured data about resources on the web. (Our license deeds are another application that use metadata published with works, in that case to provide attribution for re-users.) Recently we've been thinking about tools that could be developed to complement DiscoverEd to create a rich and compelling ecosystem for decentralized metadata for educational resources.
The use of decentralized metadata to drive discovery allows creators and curators to publish information about works without relying on a central authority, and allows developers to utilize that data with seeking permission from a gate keeper. However, self publishing requires a certain degree of technical expertise from creators and curators. Two tools can help ease this burden and aid deployment of the necessary metadata. A Validator would help publishers and curators understand how their resources are ingested and processed by DiscoverEd (and other tools). A Curation Tool would allow users to identify resources — individually, as an ad hoc group, or as part of an institutional team — and label them with quality, review, or other metadata.
The Validator tool would allow users to enter a URL to be checked, and return details of what information DiscoverEd or other software could extract. The results would also provide links to examples and common problems when publishing metadata. For example, how to publish information about the education level and subject matter of a resource, or about what resources were remixed in order to create the new one. A self service tool would allow users to repeatedly check the state of their resources, so they can understand how changes made to their site impact the way others interact with it. A self service tool is essential to scale adoption beyond the level possible when each publisher requires hands on assistance.
The Validation tool would also be integrated with DiscoverEd. DiscoverEd utilizes decentralized metadata to improve its search index, and allow users to search by particular facets, such as subject, education level, or language. When it does not have metadata for one of the "core" fields (education level, subject, license, language in the default configuration), it displays a help icon to indicate that some piece of information is missing. After initial development is complete, the help icons will be linked to the validation tool so that users and publishers alike can get immediate feedback about what's missing and what's there.
The Curation Tool would be a general purpose piece of software which would allow users to identify works, and annotate additional information about them. We imagine that common annotations might be that they meet some quality review, align to a particular standard, or simply "like". Just as social bookmarking tools like Delicious allow users to make a list of resources, the Curation Tool would allow users to create lists, identifying why a particular resource is in the list, and possibly adding additional metadata not provided by the publisher. For example, a user might make a list of resources which they have reviewed for quality, and identify which Common Core standard each conforms to. The tool would allow users to collaborate on lists, as well. All lists would be public, and published in a way that allows DiscoverEd to ingest the information collected. The Curation tool would be open source software, so users can download a copy and run it for their own school or professional society, if they so desire.
We think that the development of supporting tools can help advance the adoption of decentralized, structured data for educational resources. Are there simple ideas we've missed? Twists on these we should take into account? Leave your comments below.Comments Off
Type Of: Educational (an idea)
I spent most of yesterday in a meeting discussing ways to make search better for open educational resources. Preparing my short presentation for the day, I thought again about one of the challenges of doing this at web scale: how do you determine what's an educational resource? In DiscoverEd we rely on curators to tell us that a resource is educational, but that requires us to start with lists of resources from curators; it'd be nice to start following links and add things if they're educational, move on if they aren't. If you want to build OER search that operates at web scale, this is one of the important questions, because it influences what gets into the index, and what's excluded1. Note that the question is not "what is an open educational resource"; the "open" part is handled by marking the resource with a CC license. With reasonable search filters you can start with the pool of CC licensed educational resources, and further restrict it to Attribution or Attribution-ShareAlike licensed works if that's what you need.
Creative Commons licenses work in a decentralized manner by including a bit of RDFa with the license badge generated by the chooser. But no similar badge exists for OER or educational resources, at least partly because it's hard to agree on what the one definition of OER is. But what if we just tried to say, "I'm publishing this, and I think it's educational." Maybe we can do that. After seeing the Xpert Project tweet about a microformat/RDFa/etc to improve discoverability, I decided to try my hand at a first draft.
Educational
This tag generates the triple:
<> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://example.org/#LearningResource> .
Literally, "this web page is a Learning Resource". Of course this could be written as a link, image, or even made invisible to the user.
There is one big question here: what should
http://example.org/# actually be? There are lots of efforts to create vocabularies out there, so we should clearly reuse a term from one of those efforts. If we reuse one that defines a hierarchy including things like Course, Lecture, etc, as refinements of Learning Resource, that may also provide interesting information for improving the search experience.
This markup won't be visible in Google, but it will allow crawlers and software to start determining what people think is educational. And that seems like progress to me. Reasonable first step? Fundamentally flawed? Inexcusably lame? Feedback welcome.
1 I should note that the question is "How does someone online say that a resource is educational?" because you want a) to allow people to make the judgement about other resources online, and b) you care about who's saying the resource is educational. Please pardon my reductionism.9 Comments »
Curation and Structured Data for educational resources
I spent most of last week in Alexandria, Virginia, talking about DiscoverEd (and hearing others talk about their work, including Duraspace and Handles) with the Learning Registry project. Learning Registry is a project of the US government that's focusing on how to make federal learning resources more accessible to educators. We were invited to discuss DiscoverEd face to face after it became clear that some of the issues we've been addressing — searching metadata about OER, multiple parties making different assertions about the same resource — were going to be key for Learning Registry.
Learning Registry has been collecting ideas about the project using Idea Scale, and on Tuesday Aaron published a list of the most popular ideas to date. Reading the list, it's clear that there are a few themes. First, people are interested in using structured data to help them search. Whether it's a microformat to identify a resource as educational, extraction of metadata, adding information about specific properties (seat time, cost, etc), several ideas centered around making use of structured data to improve the search experience.
While that's not too surprising, it was also interesting to note that the idea of distributed curation came up, whether people called it that or not. The microformat suggestion involves, at its most basic level, the ability to say "I think this is educational". It's not a far step from that to "I think this other resource (created by someone else) is educational." People also suggested using sitemaps as the basis for listing educational resources. All of this makes me think that the idea of curating and collating resources is going to be an important part of how people find information in the future (whether they're explicitly curating, or implicitly by posting a link to Twitter, it's all about filtering information to the set you're interested in).
It's always nice to hear that you're on the right track with a project; seeing the ideas suggested for Learning Registry reinforces my belief that we're looking at the right areas for improving the OER search experience. (It's also awesome that people want license information incorporated into search results — what a great idea!)Comments Off
Named Graph support lands in DiscoverEd
Earlier this week we updated the master branch on the DiscoverEd project. While this "release" contains many improvements, the biggest one by far is the use of named graphs for tracking provenance. The initial DiscoverEd prototype supported multiple curators making statements about the same resource. For example, the same photograph of the US moon landing might be useful for both a history and a physics course. Unfortunately the initial prototype didn't retain information about who made each individual statement, which limited the ways in which you could refine your search.
With this week's release we're storing that information, and opening up more ways to explore the metadata stored about resources. We use Jena as our RDF store, and Named Graphs for Jena (NG4J) provide an elegant way to integrate this source information with DiscoverEd.
Also notable in this release is database independence. Any database backend supported by NG4J can be used with DiscoverEd, and the default configuration uses Derby for ease of experimentation and development.
Because we did not store metadata previously, we're recrawling our sources now. Our instance of DiscoverEd will be updated with this code over the next week or two.1 Comment »
DiscoverEd Code Sprint: Day 3
Day 1 and Day 2 of the DiscoverEd code sprint turned out to be very productive, and the third and final day didn't disappoint either. All teams were able to complete or make significant contributions to useful new features.
Our team that originally developed support for arbitrary metadata and a plugin architecture to pull in external data in Day 1 and 2 switched to working on integrating branches with the main DiscoverEd source tree. They spent some time fixing bugs in new code that connects the RDFa parser with the Jena store, so that it could be merged with other branches in the code repository, including their work on the metadata plugins, the master branch, and the provenance work previously begun by Creative Commons. After merging those branches, they also took some time to update their work from Day 1 and Day 2 to store the provenance of the metadata. Towards the end of the day they began working on support for running all the DiscoverEd tests with a script. After today they plan on doing some housekeeping work, namely creating documentation about new plugin support in the CC wiki.
The "flexible query interface" team continued to debug problems with DiscoverEd. They had identified the bugs encountered in Days 1 and 2, so they worked on transitioning away from an old metadata-writing API that they suspect doesn't work with the current version of Nutch. It appears this issue may be related to the upgrade from Nutch 0.8 to 1.1. Going forward, they plan on migrating code to the new API, and testing if it resolves the problems.
The "user generated metadata" team decided to divide and conquer smaller tasks of their project. They mocked up the form interface and began work on building it into a JSP. They were also building tests for the back end of DiscoverEd, which basically test that once you add a tag, you can get the resource ID and the tag back through a search, and that it's been added into the Jena store such that when the Nutch index is run again the tag will be added to the Lucene index. They worked through a lot of merge conflicts, which had stalled development.
Creative Commons thanks AgShare project funders (The Gates Foundation), MSU, vuDAT, MSU Global, and to the participants in the sprint for making all of the contributions to DiscoverEd over the past three days possible.
What makes DiscoverEd exciting is that, while most search engines use algorithmic analyses of resources alone for search, DiscoverEd can incorporate facts and semantic information provided by the publishers or curators, enabling more useful search. Structured data in standardized formats such as RDFa is a powerful way for otherwise unrelated projects and resource curators to cooperate and express facts about their resources in the same way so that third-party tools (like DiscoverEd) can use that data for other purposes (like search and discovery). We look forward to deploying this innovative tool for our AgShare partners to enable search and discovery of educational resources about agriculture and hope that it's found useful in other contexts as well.Comments Off
DiscoverEd Code Sprint: Day 2
Day 2 of the DiscoverEd code sprint was largely a continuation of work that started on Day 1.
The team working on a plugin architecture for DiscoverEd finished their project, which was to build an extension point that enables plugins to pull arbitrary metadata from external sources. At the beginning of the day they had to finish some tests for the new support for arbitrary metadata added in Day 1, but by the end of the day were able to merge their new functionality back into the DiscoverEd repository. They were even able to build a small proof-of-concept plugin that pulled data from the delicious.com API into the Jena store, which later makes its way into the Lucene index. Tomorrow they'll start looking at developing support for custom vocabularies and ontologies (such as AGROVOC).
The flexible query syntax team were able to commit their changes to the DiscoverEd code that makes it so you can configure arbitrary metadata queries. For example, if you had been running a DiscoverEd instance to search a feed of OpenCourseWare resources that uses Dublin Core metadata in RDFa format to express information about those resources, and wanted to enable searches on metadata which weren't supported in DiscoverEd, you would have had to write Java code to enable that. With this change you can now just create a configuration file mapping an arbitrary tag to that metadata, which will store that metadata along side the tag in the Lucene index. This allows Nutch (which searches the Lucene index) to search for those custom tags in the config file. This code was pushed to a branch while the team spent the rest of the day chasing down a bug where only a subset of metadata gets successfully added to the Lucene index in their working environment.
The "user-generated metadata" team was able to create a test which adds a new resource into the Jena store, adds a tag to that resource, and verifies the tag was added… and it passes! Their next step is to create a test for a similar process in the Lucene index, such that a tag added to a new resource in the Jena store gets successfully added to the index and one can search for that tag through Nutch. The first test passing was a prerequisite for starting work on the second test.
Work continues into the third and final day, so look for a wrap-up report from Day 3 soon. The various repository commits can be browsed on Gitorious.1 Comment »
DiscoverEd Code Sprint: Day 1
This week some of us from Creative Commons are in lovely East Lansing, Michigan Michigan State University for the DiscoverEd code sprint hosted by the folks at MSU vuDAT.
For those of you not familiar with DiscoverEd, it first began as a Creative Commons project to show how structured data can enable and improve search and discovery of educational resources on the web.
Search and discovery of education resources has been a hot topic within the OER (Open Educational Resources) community for some time. Given the decentralization of high-quality educational resources free to use, remix, and redistribute existing on the web, the question has been "How can learners and instructors find and discover these resources in useful ways?" CC has previously done significant work in the metadata domain, having developed a W3C-published vocabulary for publishing licensing metadata and being involved in early efforts to being semantic web concepts to scientific data. DiscoverEd not only represents a continuation of CC's efforts to make data interoperability work, but insofar as it deals in metadata about open content, it's an interesting synthesis of open, standardized data formats and open content.
Development for DiscoverEd has recently been supported by AgShare, an MSU-led project funded by the Gates Foundation:
The aim of the AgShare planning and pilot project is to create a scalable and sustainable collaboration of existing organizations for African publishing, localizing, and sharing of teaching and learning materials that fill critical resource gaps in African MSc agriculture curriculum and that can be modified for other downstream uses.
AgShare involves institutional collaboration for the modification and dissemination of very useful open educational content internationally. Creative Commons is supporting the project by developing, documenting, and supporting an instance of DiscoverEd educational search that will provide learners in Africa with a method to find or discover educational resources curated by participating organizations.
Which takes me to where we are today: CC and our AgShare partners at MSU put together a DiscoverEd code sprint to connect our AgShare developers with the community of programmers and downstream users who are interested in educational resource search and discovery using structured data to find common ground and areas for collaboration. Most participants have listed themselves on the sprint wiki-page.
After brief introductions, everyone spent some time instantiating the codebase, getting access to version control, sharing commonly used terms, and settling other coordination issues. That took up the first half of the day, and after lunch at a great Ethiopian restaurant, we returned to begin work on new code. Given the unfamiliarity many of the developers had with the codebase, the original plan for pair programming was abandoned to allow larger groups:
One group focused on developing code to allow users to add missing or additional metadata about resources. This would enable arbitrary tags to be injected into both the Jena triple-store and Lucene documents from the Nuch front-end. This functionality would extend the reach of Nutch's search beyond what's found through aggregation, to include metadata provided by users, or a community.
Another group focused on developing a plugin interface for storing and retrieving metadata from external and services and databases. This functionality could potentially supply metadata for resources without any metadata, or could supplement existing metadata with additional data from other services and databases. A splinter group of that original team took time to analyze the OpenCalais API to see if it could be integrated with the above DiscoverEd functionality to provide back useful metadata.
The last team worked on getting up to speed on the DiscoverEd architecture and creating instructions for getting it running in an Ubuntu virtual box environment on Windows, as well as test-driving new documentation for hacking DiscoverEd. This team also spent time mapping out the work needed to implement more flexible query filtering. This turned out to be an invaluable exercise as they discovered inefficiencies and unnecessary code in the DiscoverEd codebase (namely, in how DiscoverEd maps query strings for metadata to Lucene index data), and are in the process of planning for a new metadata query syntax.
Day 2 will likely be an extension of today's work. Look for another post soon.1 Comment »

Indonesian Catholics participate in a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday . On last count, Catholics make just over 3 per cent of the Indonesian population.
In Berwick-Upon_Tweed in England, pilgrims walk with crosses – called the Northern Cross Pilgrimage – as they make they way to Holy Island or Lindisfarne
In Germany, Catholics flock the road during their Good Friday procession in Lohr am Main. This is a 300-year-old tradition to commemorate the death of Christ.
Also in Germany, in the town of Traunstein, a pilgrimage of horses is held every year on Easter Monday to honour Saint George.
In Bacup, Lancashire, England, the black-faced Morrismen of the Britannia Coconutters dance boundry to boundary. This has happened every Easter Saturday for over one-hundred years and is a pagan dance intended to ward off evil winter spirits. The Cocounutters derive their name from the time in which coal miners would wear coconuts as primitive knee-pads. The blackened faces are to disguise themselves from the evil spirits.
In New York's Little Italy people participate in the Stations of the Cross during their Good Friday procession.
The Philippines take it a bit further, re-enacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in full. A penitent is 'guarded' while being crucified in an annual ritual on Good Friday. Since the 1950's, a dozen or so penitents participate in an annual re-enactment of Christ's crucifixion, a practice that the Catholic Church frowns upon. Mostly because these penitents are actually nailed to crosses. There are no special effects here.
U.S. President Barack Obama stands with a costumed Easter Bunny as he welcomes people to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House. The event dates back to 1878 and is named for races where children push coloured eggs across the grass using wooden spoons.
In New York again there is an annual Easter Bonnet Parade. The parade is a New York tradition dating back to the mid-1800s when the social elite would parade their new fashions down Fifth Avenue after attending Easter services in one of the Fifth Avenue churches.
Christian pilgrims carry wooden crosses along the Via Dolorosa during the Good Friday procession in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem Christian pilgrims took part in processions along the route that Jesus is believed to have taken in his last days as he carried the cross.
Women wearing a 'mantilla' take part in the 'Pasion' brotherhood walk during their Holy Week procession in Cordoba, Spain.

$100 Williams-Sonoma Gift Card - - What would you buy?
- h
- HoneybeeSF Dec 19, 2006 07:32 PM
The DH and I were given a gift card for the holidays. Our kitchen is stocked with the basics in cookware, bakeware and appliances, as well as dishes and glasses of all sorts. I'm wondering this, Chowhounds, if you were given this gift, what would you buy? I was thinking about the Russell Hobbs Immersion Blender ($99.95.) Look forward to hearing from you!
Any kind of electric appliance is usually a good bet at WS because of their awesome extended warranty on electrics.
I got a WS gift card for my bday. It was the best present ever. I waited and thought about what I was going to buy, and when I went in there, I bought all kinds of extravagant spoonulas, wisks, etc. Yes, you can get this stuff at BB&B, but theirs are so much better. It makes me so happy just looking at them! It's the little things...
If I had a well stocked kitchen, I would buy gifts for others with it, or regift the whole thing to one person, OR 2-$50.00 gift card.
I have no experience with that particular immersion blender, but I recently acquired an immersion blender myself and was amazed how much easier it was to puree soup with it compared to a normal blender. The one caveat is that it was not completely smooth, but since I prefer my soup with a bit more texture I was very pleased with the results and the amount of work required. I always make a bit of mess transferring to and from the normal blender, but with the immersion blender my kitchen stayed clean.
Some of the French classic white Apilco pieces - ramekins, platters, souffle dishes, etc. I've had some for many years and they always bring pleasure. They go from the oven to table looking beautiful.
I got a GC recently for WS and I bought lots of expensive ingredients that I don't buy often for my every day baking/cooking...stocked up on vanilla beans, some good cocoa powder, fun flavorings, etc.
What do you need? Combine something that you need (want) with something that you might hesitate to buy normally.
A top of the line knife?
A set of Peugot pepper/salt grinders?
A mandolin?
Simple things like apilco are wonderful because they are ovenproof. Wonderful for entertaining.
re: phofiend
Good point. If I didn't already have several dozen of their plain white dinner napkins I would get more. They wear well and stay true to size.
This happened to me several years ago and it was almost overwhelming. It took me several months to figure out what I wanted....Villaware Belgian Waffle Maker. I'd go to the store and walk the place to see what most attracted my eye. I've never been sorry. I'll make a batch of waffles, let them cool completely, and then freeze. Pop them in the toaster and hot crunchy on the outside and sweet goodness on the inside waffles.
Now I'd buy utensils that I don't have; smaller ladles, cookie scoops in all the sizes,silpats, linens, oh and I'd check out the apilco too. I love the ones I have and I'm always adding to the set when I find something new.
I received the Russell Hobbes Immersion Blender as a gift and I love it. I was a little leary at first because of all the attachments. But, I actually use some of them, such as the whisk and the mini-chopper. The best thing about the immersion blender is that the motor is strong and doesn't burn out. I've burned out two previous immersion blenders by blendy leafy greens in soup. This one, as long as I run it for less than the recommended times, blends the soups beautifully. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you will have fun doing so.
They now are carrying varying levels of Reidel wineglasses. I recently broke three wineglasses on three successive nights, so that's on my list (perhaps not Reidel, however, considering my recent breakage record. <g>)
You said you have all the basic glasses, appliances you need, but I used a $100 GC to W-S to get my DeLonghi toaster/convection oven which at the time was $199. I wouldn't have bought it without the GC, so I'm glad my SIL and brother gave me the GC.
Perhaps upgrading what you have?
I had the same thing happen and I bought: a large container of the really good vanilla, the extendable tongs, the lemon juicer (that is yellow & green), a meat thermometer, pastry tips and something else that I am forgetting.
I already have an immersion blender that I got for $40 that works great. Never had any difficulty with it and it makes smooth soups and sauces.
I would recommend buying things that you always wanted but never picked up/got. Quality immersion blenders can be bought cheaper at other places.
Dh and I were just at W-S today enjoying all the baking and food samples! If you have all the great pots and gadgets I would go for the food stuffs. Their food products are always pricey but inevitably delicious...homemade marshmellows, peppermint bark, pound cake mixes, gourmet this and that... A GC would make the shopping spree so much more yummy!
re: Glencora
It's hard to justify 18.00 for a few homemade marshmellows too...when I make them for pennies...but there they were..calling my name...hot chocolate for tonight...LOL!
The croissants that you get by mail order. Regular and Chocolate. AMAZING. We live in LA and I can find most of the items at WS for less at places like Surfas but I splurged on those croissants and they are incredible. In fact, I am thinking about ordering more.
re: percheron
Are their gift cards interchangeable? I have a PB gift card I can't find a use for--but there are plenty of things I might buy at WS. One thing I do want is a nine-inch square cake pan from WS, two of them actually. The round cake pans I bought from them years ago are still going great, and now I want ones with sharper edges and corners than my current cheapy square pans.
Last year we used our $50 GC from my MIL towards a Villaware wafflemaker which we love! (especially with Carbon's malted waffle mix!)
This year we have a $50 from my MIL and a $50 from my SIL...not sure what we're going to do with it yet...we need a new coffee maker and we've been thinking about a toaster oven so put it towards one of those two items.
I cashed in my WS giftcard yesterday and bought:
2 Riedel "O" Syrah wine glasses (they seem practical for everyday glasses)
1 Pizza stone (something about making pizza at home)
Instant read meat thermometer (didn't have one, might need one at some point)
4 Dish towels
Metal Tongs
Herbs du Provence
All of which came out to $105, which I didn't think was too bad for WS.
re: chucktowneater
It's 2 hours later, have you broken both of the O glasses yet, or just one? :)
I got a pair for christmas one year and they lasted about two weeks, they're ridiculously fragile. You may want to take them back if you haven't used them yet, especially if you intend them for every day use. I dropped a spoon near one, it bounced into the glass (not hard) and shattered it. I am now the proud owner of some Tritan stemware, they are much more durable (so far).
That is exactly what I bought with my $100 gift certificate! The Russell Hobbs immersion blender! Truth be told, my kitchen has been under some kind of renovation or another for a year, and the blender is still sitting in it's very handsome box a top my black enameled stainless steel kitchen rack.
I also considered a mid-range mandoline, but then someone gave me one of those while I was still hoarding my gift certificate.
WS also had a gorgeous and cheap trifle dish that reversed into a punch bowl and a covered cake plate that I was eyeing. That was only about $40, which I thought was outrageously cheap for WS. It wasn't as cheesy and cheap looking as other trifle dish/punch bowl/cake plates I've seen.
I also thought long and hard about KNIVES. But $100 isn't a lot for a good knife. And Le Creuset's tagine was calling to me. (However, I've found that Le Creuset's outlet is far better priced than WS.)
I go for one of the beautiful wreaths in the catalog, something I normally would
not treat myself to.
I'd go to the store, find a beautiful (single of course) lady and ask if she could help me decide how to spend it at dinner that evening. :-)
i try to use gc's towards bigger ticket items that i wouldn't necessarily buy for myself.
the convection/toaster oven sounds great.

United's new 2010/11 away kit is now available to buy at the Megastore at Old Trafford and online at the official online store, United Direct.
The kit is white with a black and red trim and bold chevron prints on the sleeves. Aon, the new shirt sponsor, features on the front of the shirt whilst inside the shirt, on the back of the club crest, is the club's mantra "Believe" sitting right next to the heart of every United player and fan.
The away kit shares the same environmentally-friendly materials as the new home kit and every shirt will be made entirely from the recycled polyester of up to eight plastic water bottles as part of Nike's 'Considered Design' programme. Considering the environment doesn't mean sacrificing the renowned high performance of Nike's kits. The new Manchester United away kit has been engineered to give players a greater competitive advantage than ever before, keeping players drier and more comfortable, allowing them to maintain their optimum body temperature and perform at their peak on the pitch.
The improved Nike 'Dri-Fit' fabric, now 13 per cent lighter than previous kits, helps to quickly evaporate moisture by drawing through the fabric to the surface and to keep players dry. Innovative ventilation zones are placed along each side of the jersey to enhance breathability by up to 7 per cent, compared to previous kits, and allow air to pass across the whole torso.
The new away kit is now available at store.manutd.com or at the Megastore. If you are in the US, please order at manutdshopusa.com.

The Top 50 Date-Night Ideas of All Time
Whether you're looking for an idea to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime anniversary, or to spice up a blessedly free weekend, we've dug up the best ways to spend precious time with your hubby.
By Anna Davies
Go birdwatching
There's something awfully romantic about being almost alone in the woods, quiet except for the sound of a far-off mating call. See if your local park offers tours, or head into your own backyard. "Don't worry about binoculars and equipment your first time out," advises Bob DeCandido, PhD, who runs birding tours in New York City's Central Park. "Just pay attention to the colors and the songs and see if you like it." Or, merely use it as an excuse to get lost in the woods and engage in a wild makeout session.

An alleged burglar found inside the Botanical Conservatory on Friday night tried to disarm a police detective during a struggle, according to court papers.
At 9 p.m., the detective and a police captain responded to a report of alarm at the conservatory at Calhoun Street and West Jefferson Boulevard. Inside, they heard a pounding noise coming from an office, and the detective spotted a man running from a room, court papers stated.
The detective pointed his gun at the man, later identified as Darrell Carter, and ordered him to the floor, but Carter grabbed the gun and they struggled over it. Carter had his hands over the trigger guard, so the detective could not fire a shot, court papers stated.
The captain came to the detective's aid, and the two officers tried to subdue Carter. During a scuffle, the captain tore a tendon in his left ring finger, court papers stated.
Carter broke away from the officers but was quickly caught. Police determined he had been trying to crack the conservatory's safe using pry bars, screwdrivers and a hammer, court papers said.
In a police interview, he denied knowing that the detective was an officer. He also denied that the detective had pointed his gun at him and that he had tried to take the gun, according to court papers.
Carter, 46, of the 3000 block of Bowser Avenue, was preliminarily charged Monday with burglary, disarming a law enforcement officer and two counts of resisting law enforcement. He was being held without bail at the Allen County Lockup because of a warrant for him in Vanderburgh County.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - It's been two years since Janet Jackson
performed on a concert stage and her fans say that's been two years
too long.
Jackson marks her stage return Friday with an opening night
performance during the Essence Music Festival at the Louisiana
In an interview with The Associated Press, Jackson said she was
excited about her New Orleans appearance.
Fans got a glimpse of her new, sassy, short-cropped hair and her
signature, shapely figure on the finale show of American Idol. On
the show, she rocked classics like "Again" and "Nasty" and her
latest release, "Nothing," from the soundtrack of the movie,
"Why Did I Get Married Too?," which she also starred in.
The festival runs through Sunday.
