"They won. Get over it!"
—Barbara Bush
Hwy, Grover a non-partisan federal agency has released a study that says, ' tax cuts for the rich do not result in jobs.' Let it go, Grover. You can no longer try to justify your blackmail agenda! The Trickle-Down economic theory was always a myth.

Let the name calling begin. Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, blamed Mitt Romney's election loss on the Obama campaign's painting the Republican candidate as a "poopy-head."
"The president was elected on the basis that he's not Romney and that Romney was a poopy-head and you should vote against Romney," Norquist said on CBS This Morning Monday.
He continued on to describe negative campaign ads released by the Obama campaign.
"You can trash an individual and get them to vote against him," Norquist said.
Norquist, who is likely nervous about all the pro-tax talk in Washington right now, said he didn't believe the president's re-election provided a mandate to raise taxes on the wealthy — or anyone. Norquist's organization encourages elected officials to sign a pledge that they will oppose any attempts to increase taxes on individuals or businesses.
President Obama's campaign stump speech consistently called for "the wealthy to pay a little bit more," particularly by ending a Bush-era tax cut for those American households making more than $250,000 a year.
Norquist disputed that either President Obama or Republican House Speaker John Boehner were interested in raising taxes.

WASHINGTON — President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner said Friday that they want to work together to avert spending cuts and tax increases that could throw the economy back into a recession – but both also come to the negotiations with the same sharp differences they had before this week's elections.
The key divide involves income tax rates. Obama wants to continue the Bush-era rates, which are scheduled to expire at the end of the year, for families that make less than $250,000 annually. Republicans say the current rates should continue for everyone, including the wealthy.
The president spoke at the White House for the first time since his decisive win Tuesday over Republican Mitt Romney, and he maintained that most Americans support his "balanced approach" of cutting spending while raising taxes on the rich.
"I want to be clear: I'm not wedded to every detail of my plan," Obama said. "I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas. I'm committed to solving our fiscal challenges. But I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."
Boehner, an Ohio Republican, who spoke on Capitol Hill earlier in the day, said he was open to compromise on virtually everything – except higher taxes.
"Everyone wants to get our economy moving again," he said. "Everyone wants to get more Americans back to work again. Raising tax rates will slow down our ability to create the jobs everyone says they want."
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took a harder line.
"There is no consensus on raising tax rates, which would undermine the jobs and growth we all believe are important to our economy," he said. "While I appreciate and share the president's desire to put the election behind us, the fact is we still have yet to hear an actual plan from the president for addressing the great economic challenges we face."
Democrats quickly fired back. "The president's message today was as clear as the outcome of the election," said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md.
Obama won re-election with 50.5 percent of the popular vote, and the Democrats increased their majority in the Senate. The party expects to control 55 seats next year, up from the current 53. But Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives with a strong majority. FULL ARTICLE
by Nick Ramsay
If you paid attention to conservative pundits and politicians leading up to the elections, it's like they were living in a different reality. Polls meant nothing and there was simply no possibility the president could get re-elected.
But the results on Election Day served as a Rewrite to those pundits and politicians.
On Friday's special edition of The Last Word, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell highlighted some of those who predicted a major Romney victory:
Boehner 'confident' GOP, Obama can reach deal on immigration
By Daniel Strauss
Speaker John Boehner said Thursday he was "confident" Republicans could agree to a comprehensive immigration bill.
Boehner (R-Ohio) made the comment in an interview with ABC News released two days after President Obama's decisive reelection victory over Mitt Romney.
Obama's win was fueled by Hispanic voters, who made up a larger portion of the electorate than four years ago and voted overwhelmingly for Obama. The president won Latino voters by 44 points according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
|Woody–President Obama made a surprise visit to the campaign office in Chicagoyesterday to give a heartfelt thank-you to staff and volunteers.I wanted to pass this video along, because it's a message every single person who helped build this campaign deserves to see. He wasn't just talking to those of us in the office — he was talking to all of you.
In his speech on Election Night, President Obama gave you all the title you have spent the last year and a half earning:
"The best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics."
So many times in this election, this campaign was counted out. They said our supporters wouldn't turn out, and we'd never see the kind of voter participation we saw in 2008. They said we'd be buried in money and special-interest influence. And they said that no campaign could overcome the political headwinds we faced.
Last year, a major American newspaper asked, "Is Obama toast?" As recently as two weeks ago, another ran this headline: "Can Obama win?"
Tuesday night, you all answered all of those doubts with a resounding YES WE CAN. By knocking on doors, organizing phone banks, and chipping in a few bucks when you could, you built a campaign that is unparalleled. And you re-elected our president.
You also proved that millions of ordinary people taking ownership of a cause is still the most powerful force in our political process. You showed that grassroots organizing and small donations are not only the right way to win, but also the most effective way.
How we got here must guide where we go. If we're going to accomplish the things America voted for on Tuesday, you've got to be even more involved in getting them done than you were in giving us all the chance.
We'll be in touch soon about how we can get started on some of the President's top priorities in his second term.
For now, I just want to say I am so proud of this team. And I can't wait to see where you take this incredible movement from here.
Thank you — more to come,

DSP Equalization of Electret Film Pickup for Acoustic Guitar
The response of guitar bridge pickups does not correspond to the acoustic radiation of the instrument. If authentic acoustic sound is desired, a mixture of pickup and air microphone signals is often used. In this study we apply digital signal processing to obtain high-quality acoustic sound using only an elastic electret film pickup and properly designed digital filtering for equalization.

November 27, 2014
HARRISONBURG-- City Council members held a public hearing on the proposed budget for the next fiscal year on Tuesday night. Council decided against voting on the budget Tuesday. It will hold a work session May 1, before considering the budget in mid-May.
The city manager's budget proposal includes a four cent real estate tax increase, increasing the tax to 67 cents. In a letter to the city council, Kurt Hodgen, the city manager, noted the tax would still be the second lowest of Virginia's 39 cities.
The proposed budget also includes water and sewer fee increases. It's about $10 million more than the previous year.
City Councilman Abe Shearer said the increases reflect the expanding population. "In my mind, it seems somewhat inevitable. We're a growing city. There's 51,000 people in Harrisonburg now. It's growing about a thousand per year. We're a large city at this point, and large cities require more services. That's why people live in cities," he said.
Shearer said he expects many nonprofit and other groups will be at the hearing to ask for funding. He said he had questions about the budget that needed to be addressed before he could say if it would pass on first-read on Tuesday.
Shearer also said he had not heard too much from constituents. "The public is waiting to hear what council has to say about it. There hasn't been a lot said about it. I think that the majority of people in Harrisonburg understand that our city is growing and that this is one of those things that comes with a growing city," he said.

DAVIE - The Dolphins have waived defensive tackle Marvin Austin, who was signed by the organization three weeks ago.
Austin played in Miami's defensive tackle rotation the previous two games for the Dolphins, contributing one tackle for a loss.
With Paul Soliai recovering from the left knee injury he suffered on Sept. 15 the Dolphins were comfortable with the team's depth at the position, and appear ready to address another roster need with the vacant roster spot.

text: GI Film Festival: Where Hollywood Fears to Tread by Christian Toto 12 May 2009 post a comment Share This: Brandon L. Millett has crunched the numbers and come up with a formula Hollywood doesn't want to compute. Films featuring U.S. soldiers as the enemy don't sell tickets. Period. So Millett decided to create the G.I. Film Festival, an annual event honoring movies that depict soldiers in a positive light. The five-day festival, which kicks off its third year Wednesday (May 13) at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., just keeps growing as a result. This time around, the festival will feature 48 film screenings - up from 30 last year. "Brothers at War," which won the festival's prize last year for best documentary, got a theatrical distribution deal thanks to its festival appearance. Stephen Baldwin, James McEachin, Brandon Millett, Gary Sinise - 2008 Festival Oscar winner Robert Duvall will lend his star presence to the proceedings, along with Sen. Fred Thompson and Kelsey Grammer. "We didn't know how big it would get and how quickly it would grow. It took on a life of its own," says Millett, Festival President. Millett pins the blame squarely on Gary Sinise, Hollywood's hardest working actor on behalf of U.S. soldiers. "We had Gary at our first film festival when we were not much more than a concept. That really gave us momentum and credibility," he says. Sinise isn't the only actor who appreciates the festival's mission - to honor the successes and sacrifices of the U.S. Military. "No matter what you think of this war, or any war, we must support the men and women doing the fighting. Most people get it, and that often includes those from Hollywood," he says. True, some actors "are infected with an anti-military, anti-American bias," he says. Millett wonders why acclaimed director Brian De Palma saw fit to shoot two films featuring the military in his career - and both prominently dealt with soldiers raping the innocent ("Casualties of War," "Redacted"). "Not one other story line in the last 20 years jumped out at Brian De Palma?" he asks. "The American people don't wanna see films where G.I.'s are rapists, murderers. Those films die at the box office. That's not the American warrior we know, and not the one we want to see," he says. The festival will screen war movies old and new, like the recent "Taking Chance," the well received feature starring Kevin Bacon, as well as the world premiere of the Citizens United film "Perfect Valor." Millett says his festival doesn't take a political stance. Its mission is more important than that. "We take a big tent approach. We want to show as many people as possible the quality and character of men in uniform," he says. Christian Toto is a freelance film critic whose work appears in The Washington Times. He blogs about film at What Would Toto Watch?

Pixi: Glow Tonic
Described as a gentle exfoilating toner with glycolic acid, I've been using one pump 2-3 times a week in the evenings (I guess most people would use this everyday but I always forget to as I've never really used a regular toner before!). The product is very light and refreshing with a soothing... herbal/medicinal smell to it? (I'm so bad at describing smells but it's was one of the first thing I noticed about it, very strong but it's not a horrible smell it's probably the witch hazel in it!) I'm not sure if I see a difference yet but at least it's not irritating my skin - which is always a good sign!
Hope you're all having a great weekend! The sun is out and I'm off to get ready for my Uncles 50th Birthday Party! :) x

Telling mankind's story through photos
I was just reading a paper titled The Narrative of Digital Photos: Time and Technology by my friend David Hoffman. The paper discusses, among other things, the importance of organizing the recent and growing flood of digital photos.
How do we organize the 1500 photos that are being snapped each second around the world? And why is it important that we do?
I love pictures. Since I was a little kid with a 110 camera I have been snapping like crazy. Anytime I had the chance I was taking a picture. I did (and do) this because I fear forgetting the past. The fun times, the lessons I have learned, the events I have attended, the people I knew, list goes on. It's the same reason I began blogging. With each new roll, I was adding to the collection of photos in my bottom drawer back home and, unknowingly, forming my organization style: linear, chronological. This style has continued with my digital collection. Picasa does it nicely. So does Radar.
Pictures can tell the story of the world. To me, a great organization system/software would arrange images based on their time of creation and could show what was happening in the world at any moment in the past. It would be even better if you could know where on the planet each picture was taken from. Google, where you at on this one?
A problem. Let's take me for example: I look at my collection of photos fairly often, it's like studying, the more times I look at my pictures the better I can recall them in my mind and the better I can recall the event they are associated with. Here is the problem. What about the other events, ones that may have been more important or had a greater impact on my life. If I forgot my camera that day, are they are lost forever? As I place greater importance on my narrative photo collection and as time drives memories into the distance, I feel like they are.
On a lager scale, as David puts it:
…despite the startling excitement associated with telling mankind's story though thousands of photos linked and chronologically detailed, the possibility for a reliance on photos to define the visualization of time could negatively distort our perception of time. The impact of a photo depends on the photograph itself as much as it depends on the person viewing the photo. If the photo, or if thousands of photos, are subjectively placed in the wrong light, the results could be an inaccurate or incomplete depiction of the human timeline.
This is why I love radar, and cameraphones. My phone is something I always keep with me. Because it has a camera, I will always have that too. Because I have internet access on my phone, I can send the photos I take directly to my collection. And, with radar I can share them and receive comments – if I choose to.

Scammers posing as Electric Co-op reps
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
Scammers posing as Rappahannock Electric Cooperative representatives have been calling cooperative members to demand immediate payment of bills.
"We want all of our members to be aware of the threat," said Maxie Rozell, REC's manager of safety, security and risk management, in a statement.
He said that the scammers are claiming that electric service will be disconnected unless the bill is paid immediately. Some also have claimed there is a problem with the electric meter that could result in a fire if payment for replacement is not made immediately.
"REC does not and would not contact our members in such a way," Rozell said. "Please report these issues to the cooperative and local law enforcement if you think you have been scammed."
REC will notify its members when payment has not been received and if disconnection of their electric service is pending. The cooperative's member service representatives do not demand immediate payment, but can take payments over the phone when necessary.
REC also does not charge for replacing an electric meter for safety reasons. Anyone entering a member's property and claiming to be with REC will have official identification, and will not need to enter their home to look at the electric meter.
"In some cases the scammers have even demanded REC members meet them at a location to make the immediate payment," Rozell said. "REC's employees work very hard to accommodate our members, but with our safety and yours as our top priority, we would never request a member meet us somewhere to make a payment for any service."
REC members who have questions or concerns about a phone call from someone claiming to be an REC employee are asked to report the suspicious activity to REC by calling 800/552-3904.
"Our members should never feel threatened or coerced by someone claiming to be with REC," says Rozell. "If a member is uncomfortable, they should call us and ask that the matter be handled by another representative."
REC, which is headquartered in Fredericksburg, provides electric service in parts of 22 Virginia counties.

The various Virginias are grassy and hay-like as they are in the flake version. The differences between that and the plug is the latter is a little sweeter, and a little more floral, though the Lakeland strength is just a percentage point or two more noticeable. The flavors are deeper and stronger due to the pressing of the plug, which is common. It requires some prep and dry time, but I found it better if it's not completely dried out. Otherwise, you'll lose a little of what makes this even better than the flake version. Could be an all day smoke depending on how patient you are dealing with plugs. Burns slow, cool with a consistent taste and no harsh or bitter notes.

Gasp! Facebook's hardware king joins board of ARM server biz Calxeda
Facebook's head of hardware design and supply chain operations has joined the board of directors of Calxeda, a company that specializes in building servers out of ARM processors. The strategic appointment was announced on Thursday and will see the man in charge of one of the biggest buyers of modern chips, and leader of the " …
Is ARM slower than x86?
While Intel leads in speed in the current crop of processors, there is nothing inherent in the architectures that implies that ARM processors must be slower than x86 processors. When ARM first came out, it was faster than the x86 processors of the time. In the 90s, Intel caught up and surpassed ARM, but that was mainly because the focus for ARM processors shifted from desktop to mobile systems, in particular phones and PDAs. In the last decade, Intel has had the advantage of a 64-bit architecture, but now ARM has one too, and one that is simple enough to be implemented for high speeds at modest cost.
Since anyone can buy an architecture license and implement their own ARM processors, it is entirely possible that a big server producer will do that to make fast servers.
Re: Is ARM slower than x86?
As you say currently ARM is aimed at low power applications. This makes it a good choice for keeping infrequently used data online cheaply. The Intel and AMD PC and server chips are designed for high demand. I reckon servers based on low power chips will be popular in the home market too.
The thing about servers when compared to Windows PCs is they just have to follow some well known protocols so you can use Linux. This means you can use any chip you like if it runs Linux. The Windows PC has to be Intel architecture. This is the biggest market for powerful CPUs.
If Android based PCs take off then the ARM chip may well become the most powerful CPU.
Power needs
"the social network needs chips with screaming fast CPUs to deliver dynamic web pages and perform similar tasks"
No, not really. What they need is lots and lots of CPU capacity - but not individual speed-at-all-costs cores.
On the desktop/workstation, you can really only use a few cores for most things, so you need those cores to be as fast as possible. Intel are very good at that: the i7 and latest Xeons are packed full of really clever tricks to shave every microsecond off the execution time of individual instruction streams so you can get the next frame of your FPS drawn in time, or get that complex protein molecule calculated and drawn that tiny bit faster. Having more cores doesn't give you much benefit if any, for all the effort put in lately trying to make tasks multithreaded wherever possible. To double the speed, you can be quadrupling the cost - and if you need the speed, that's where you go.
Facebook, on the other hand, have millions of requests coming in each second. More and cheaper cores are a big win for them: half the performance for a quarter of the price means they can get twice as much throughput for the same money.
Intel see this too, of course: it's why they've been adapting their Atom core for server use, as well as portable. It'll be a tough fight, though: their biggest asset, Windows compatibility through x86, just doesn't apply to these big Linux server farms: a LAMP stack should be just as happy on ARM as on x86.
I wonder if/when Intel might get a big Atom sale to the likes of AWS or Azure? Or, conversely, when Microsoft might get round to offering ARM builds of Windows Server...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Michael Jordan has reached billionaire status.
Forbes Magazine estimated Thursday that Jordan's equity as owner of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets is $416 million and his net worth outside of the team to be $600 million. It reported Jordan now owns 89.5 percent of the Hornets.
Jordan's spokeswoman Estee Portnoy confirmed to The Associated Press that Jordan purchased an additional stake in the Hornets in January of 2013, but wouldn't say how much.
Portnoy had no comment on whether or not Jordan is a billionaire.
A six-time NBA champion, Jordan earned fame and fortune on the basketball court, as well as through endorsements and movies. The 51-year-old Jordan became the majority owner of the Hornets (formerly the Bobcats) in 2010 when he bought out Bob Johnson's share of the team.

An executive for an Indianapolis-based nonprofit educational advocacy group has been named executive director of Nebraska's Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education.
The commission says Michael Baumgartner will take over leadership of the state agency this coming fall. The three other finalists dropped out of the running, and leaving only Baumgartner. He was interviewed last week.
He's chief financial officer of Complete College America, a national nonprofit that works with states to increase the number of Americans with career certificates or college degrees.
The Nebraska commission is responsible for developing higher education policy and approving financial aid and building projects.

To mark the 27th Isda annual general meeting, we consider some of the key regulatory challenges facing market participants – clearing across borders, the extraterritorial implications of Dodd-Frank, the need for a consistent application of Basel III and the introduction of a new standard credit support annex
From the moment this year's International Swaps and Derivatives Association annual general meeting gets under way in Chicago on April 30, the industry will have just 35 weeks until the deadline set by the Group of 20 nations for all standardised over-the-counter derivatives to clear through central counterparties (CCPs). Given this deadline was agreed in September 2009, no one can claim they haven't been given enough warning. Nonetheless, regulators are scrambling to get their rules out the door in time, and there is strong consensus the deadline will not be met in all jurisdictions.
In Europe, for instance, the final text of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation was only agreed in February, and was approved by the European Parliament at the end of March. The European Securities and Markets Authority (Esma) now has until September to write technical guidelines on everything from the products that will be captured by the mandatory clearing obligation to CCP margin requirements. Esma has made an early and aggressive start, and some European regulators remain confident the deadlines will be met – but it's going to be tight.
Still, missing the deadline is not necessarily the worst thing that could happen, especially if it means coming up with regulation that is globally consistent. As it stands, there is real uncertainty as to how the various strands of regulation will tie together. Certain elements of the Dodd-Frank Act are unique to the US – the so-called swaps push-out clause and the Volcker rule, for instance. The rules also appear to have an extraterritorial reach, meaning non-US entities may have to comply with parts of Dodd-Frank alongside their own home-country regulations.
Regulators say they are co-ordinating closely with their peers in other countries to eliminate the largest inconsistencies, and hopefully develop a system of mutual recognition. Meanwhile, various bills are working their way through the US Congress that would – if passed – eliminate some of the unique elements of Dodd-Frank and limit its extraterritorial reach. But this will all take time to work through.
US regulators have already delayed implementation of parts of Dodd-Frank once. There is no shame in others following suit if it means the obvious problems are ironed out before implementation.
In this special Risk supplement to mark the 27th Isda annual general meeting, we consider some of the key regulatory challenges facing market participants – clearing across borders, the extraterritorial implications of Dodd-Frank and the need for a consistent application of Basel III. We also examine one of the landmark documentation changes from Isda this year – the introduction of a new standard credit support annex.

Last night the U16s took on Old Albanians in the County Cup Final and ran home worthy 29 - 7 winners to take the trophy. Andy Craig reports.
The evening was blustery with light rain, but the pitch was in good condition even after all the rain we'd had.
In all my 12 years of coaching I have never seen the squad so up for a game and this focus and determination came out right from the first whistle.
Tring kicked the game off and set their stall out as they charged forward and caused the OA's receiver to knock-on. From this position Tring drove forward, going through the phases before the ball was moved out to the backs. Unfortunately with a slippery ball it took a little while before our handling got up to speed and the first few moves ended up with OA's getting possession of the ball. Having not even been in our half OA's kicked the ball up field and ended up scoring the first points of the game with a converted try.
From the restart Tring again established great field position and after a patient build up and slick handling in the backs, Zak Michalski's beautifully timed pass sent Drew Bowness over in the corner for Tring's first try of the evening.
Again patient work by the forwards took the ball up field from the kick off creating space and time for our excellent back to demonstrate how dangerous they are with Will Wood going over for our second try of the evening.
My pre-match briefing focused on our need to defend strongly a message that was implemented on the field. Our tigerishdefence around the breakdowns was superb with Matt Craig, Theo Freedman, EddieArmitage and Robbie Tomlinson putting pressure on their ball carriers and Joe Oakes stealing the ball at the breakdown. The backs also played their part putting pressure early on the ball carrier, tackling strongly and forcing errors
The pattern was repeated again; strong running from Richard Stewart, Henry Stubbs, Jack Hunter, Ed Ellson, Tom Geere, Ian Jarman& Eddie Armitage, led to a ruck just short of the OA's line from which Tom Geere sneaked over for try number 3.
The final try of the half came from space created by our ability to go through the phases again and the backs to work their magic exploiting the ragged defence, culminating in Will Wood scoring his second try of the night under the posts giving Ed Ellson and easy conversion
The second half started much as the first with Tring moving the ball well, playing intelligent rugby Freddie Clark commanding the forwards and exploiting the space at the right time by bringing the backs into play. Within 10 mins of the half starting Tring scored their final try with Eddie Armitage making the most of the space created to burst through and score; Ed Ellson adding the extra 2 points.
Tring's substitutes rolled on and played their part. For the forwards; Jordan running strongly, Sam Gibbons & Ollie Morris tackling and defending round the fringes and Jack Steadman causing problems at the breakdowns. For the backs; Jacob Barr making use of the space, Nick Williams tackling like a daemon and Harvey Draper running strongly with the ball.
OA's played the game with a strong spirit and determination and never gave up; successfully defending the rest of the half and finishing the last 5 minutes as the stronger team.
Good report Andy. you should look at our Colts on www.wolverhamptonrugby.com

I typically take probiotics everyday, but decided to try iFlora Nasal for my dry winter throat and post-nasal drip. I've only taken it about a week 1/2, but the problem seems to have gotten worse. I'll reserve judgment though until I test it longer; perhaps it'll help to increase the dose to the recommended 3 caps per day since right now I'm only taking one.

I Don't Need Friends."I know what you're going through dear, trust me."
You wake up and wonder why you even bother having an alarm clock. It has never had a chance to ring. You say a prayer to yourself or to some deity you believe to exist or maybe you stretch.
Open the door. Maybe you will run, maybe you will swim, or maybe it is time to work on the heavy bag. The air wraps you in its cold crispy splendor and the only cricket awake is you.
Feel a little better. Breakfast is to be eaten. An ocean blue flame greets you with a hasted grunt while the bacon and eggs chatter lively. Your cereal pops and you hold your head against the bowl just like they did in the commercials.
A knob or four turn and you make it rain. The lovely sparkling water that embraced your body since your earliest memories feels just as it did then, as it does now.
The journey of a lifetime, pit against the weathering rain, the little heat from your coffee cup accompanies you as you take your seat, one spot away from the next person.
Your laptop comes alive, but there is no Facebook blue. A pleasant aroma interrupts your thoughts. You sniff your collar and you can make out the faint scent of your cologne.
Someone decides to take the empty seat next to you, asking if you'd mind.
You do. Yet you motion for them to join you.
The rain begins to torrent by the time you leave. A stranger offers to share her umbrella with you, but you shake your head and prance into the puddles, loving the giant beaded splashes that mess up your clothes.
A warm, dry building welcomes you with its blinding lights and you feel invigorated. You create the same exact coffee mixture that had comforted you since your first day in this forsaken rut and its familiarity is almost too pleasing.
You take your favorite seat by the window and stare away at the heavy rain, sipping the drink through a near-molten bendy straw and you put your head down onto the cool table because your company had never been so damn enjoyable.

Kay Brothers Shiraz Amery Vineyards Hillside 2010
Kay Brothers - Fleurieu - Australia - Mclaren Vale
Professional Wine Reviews for Kay Brothers Shiraz Amery Vineyards Hillside 2010Additional information »
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
On the Fleurieu Peninsula of southern Australia, there are now dozens of wineries making the most of the excellent unique features the region provides, and such wineries are consistently impressing the wine world with their excellent produce. Most notably, Fleurieu benefits from a Mediterranean style climate, offering great warmth and exposure to sunshine throughout the days, tempered by brisk oceanic breezes and a wide range of micro-climates, which allow vintners to produce a wide range of wine styles. As with many parts of southern Australia, the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varietals make up for most of the winery's produce, although recent years have seen much experimentation with a wide range of grapes, making Fleurieu one of the most diverse and exciting wine regions in Australia.
With over sixteen thousand hectares of Australian land now under vine, Australia has become something of a world leader in regards to wine production. One of Australia's key attributes to their success has been their willingness to leave traditional vineyard practices to one side, and develop techniques which are perfectly suited to a New World country. Modern Australian wineries take into consideration the climate and the unique soil types which cover much of their country, and have had fantastic results from cross-breeding programs and blending practices which make the most of the grape varietals which thrive most successfully there, notably the Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes. In recent years, Australia has been lauded as the 'most influential' wine producing country in the world, and the rest of the New World is looking down under for inspiration, and the ability to produce comparable fine wines on their own terrain.

This course is part B of a multi-term sequence. Part A must be successfully completed before undertaking Part B.
Final Year Projects represent the culmination of study towards the Bachelor of Engineering degrees. Projects offer the opportunity to apply and extend material learned throughout the remainder of the program. Assessment is by submission of software development documentation throughout the evolution of the project; submission of project final report and a formal presentation and demonstration of project outcomes.
In contrast to the majority of courses studied elsewhere in the program, projects are undertaken in groups. This necessarily introduces the dimension of workload management into the program to enable completion of a large, relatively unstructured "assignment" over the course of the year.
The projects undertaken span a diverse range of topics, including theoretical, simulation and software development, and vary from year to year. The emphasis is necessarily on facilitating student learning in technical, project management and presentation spheres.
Available in 2015
|The aims of this subject are to provide a vehicle for students to consolidate, enhance and demonstrate the knowledge and skills gained from coursework studies through the Software Engineering degrees through a program of group directed study. The knowledge and skills addressed include:
1. research and critical evaluation of technical information about software engineering topics
2. technical knowledge in software development
3. time and resource management skills
4. preparation and presentation of information to engineers and other professionals
5. effective team skills
|This course will be conducted largely as a group project under the direct supervision of a member of academic staff. The specific project topic undertaken will reflect the common interests and expertise of the student(s) and supervisor. Students will be required to:
1) perform a literature search to review current knowledge and developments in the chosen technical area
2) undertake detailed technical work in the chosen area using one or more of:
a) theoretical studies
b) computer simulations
c) software development
3) produce progress reports or maintain a professional journal to establish work completed, and to schedule additional work within the time frame specified for the project
4) prepare a formal report describing the work undertaken and results obtained
5) provide a formal presentation and demonstration of the project

Dr. Timothy Bickmore is an associate professor in the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University. His research focuses on the development and study of relational agents, which are computer agents designed to build and maintain long-term, social-emotional relationships with people. Most recently, he has worked to develop animated agents with health education and health behavior change applications.
ElderBranch interviewed Dr. Bickmore to discuss his paper, "A Randomized Controlled Trial of an Automated Exercise Coach for Older Adults," which he wrote with Dr. Rebecca A. Silliman of the Schools of Medicine and Public Health at Boston University (BU), Dr. Kerrie Nelson, Dr. Debbie M. Cheng, and Michael Winter, MPH, of BU's School of Public Health, Lori Henault, MPH, of Boston Medical Center, and Dr. Michael K. Paasche-Orlow of BU's School of Medicine.
What led you to research the use of automated exercise coaches with older adults? Why is this important? Does your current research augment other work in this area?
Simulated face-to-face conversation is an especially good medium for individuals who may have low health, reading, or computer literacy. Boston Medical Center (where the study was done) is an urban safety net hospital with a population that is especially high in these demographics (e.g., 40 percent have inadequate health literacy).
Each conversation with the virtual coach has a "social chat" dialog designed to build trust, rapport, and therapeutic alliance. Pilot testing at the hospital indicated that geriatrics patients were very accepting of the technology and really enjoyed this social dimension of the interactions.
Please describe your study. What methods did you use? What were your in-going hypotheses?
The trial was intended to scale up an early pilot study to test the feasibility of deploying an exercise intervention for urban, older adults from outpatient clinics and to demonstrate its efficacy (increased walking and fitness). Our secondary hypothesis was that it would be especially effective for older adults with inadequate health literacy.
All participants were given digital pedometers and paper log sheets. Intervention participants were also sent home with a touch-screen tablet computer loaded with the virtual coach software and asked to have daily conversations over the course of two months.
After the two months, intervention participants could continue having maintenance conversations with the coach on kiosks in the waiting rooms of their primary care clinics for an additional 10 months.
What were your key findings?
Acceptance, satisfaction, and use were very high during the initial two-month period. All participants demonstrated significant increases in walking over the course of the initial two-month period.
What are the implications of these findings?
It is feasible to deploy this kind of technology from outpatient clinics. (All tablets were returned and recycled.) The technology is well liked and accepted, and it leads to short-term increases in physical activity for urban, mostly minority, older adults.
Would you give any specific recommendations to the directors of out-patient clinics serving older adults as a result of your findings?
The use of pedometers alone does not appear to increase physical activity; they must be coupled with an intervention that involves regular contact with a counselor (human or virtual).
Were there any notable limitations to your research? What are the next steps to further your work in this area?
The waiting room kiosks were underutilized, due to several possible issues, and this may have resulted in lack of significant differences between the intervention and control groups after 12 months. We are exploring other methods for maintaining long-term adherence.
Is there anything else you would like to highlight regarding your research or findings that you think is important for our readership to understand?
Older adults, even those with limited health and computer literacy, are not technophobes. They can enjoy and use computer systems, as long as they are designed for their demographic.
