Latinos seem only to enter the Republican primary dialogue when it comes to illegal immigration, but that will change for at least a few hours Thursday when the Hispanic Leadership Network co-sponsors a GOP debate in Jacksonville, Florida.
The year-old, right-leaning HLN is made up of accomplished Latinos eager to spread their business success to others in the community – and to bring more Latinos into the GOP fold. In 2008, Barack Obama outpolled John McCain among Latinos by more than 2-1, according to the Pew Research Center.
"We get to the immigration issue and that's where the problems start," said HLN's Mario Rodriguez, a San Clemente businessman and a former vice chairman of the California Republican Party. "A certain faction of the Republican Party is wrong on this. When you start attacking illegal Hispanics, you hit at the heart of Hispanics who are here legally as well. It's the most personal issue."

Along with a number of other projects recently, I've also been spending time working with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10. You may have seen these (relatively) recent Flex-10 articles:
Using VMware ESX Virtual Switch Tagging with HP Virtual Connect
Using Multiple VLANs with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10
Follow-Up About Multiple VLANs, Virtual Connect, and Flex-10
As I began to work up some documentation for internal use at my employer, I asked myself this question: what are the design considerations for how an architect should configure Flex-10?
Think about it for a moment. In a "traditional" VMware environment, architects will place port groups onto vSwitches (or dvPort groups onto dvSwitches) based on criteria like physical network segregation, number of uplinks, VLAN support, etc. In a Flex-10 environment, those design criteria begin to change:
- The number of uplinks doesn't matter anymore, because bandwidth is controlled in the Flex-10 configuration. You want 1.5Gbps for VMotion? Fine, no problem. You want 500Mbps for the Service Console? Fine, no problem. You want 8Gbps for IP-based storage traffic? Fine, no problem. As long as it all adds up to 10Gbps, architects can subdivide the bandwidth however they desire. So the number of uplinks, from a bandwidth perspective, is no longer applicable.
- Physical network segregation is a non-issue, because all the FlexNICs share the same LOM and will (as far as I know) all share the same uplinks. (In other words, I don't think that LOM1:a can use one uplink while LOM1:b uses a different uplink.) You'll physically distinct NICs in order to handle physically segregated networks. Of course, physically segregated networks will present a bit of challenge for blade environments anyway, but that's beside the point.
- VLAN support is a bit different, too, because of the fact that you can't map overlapping VLANs to FlexNICs on the same LOM. In addition, because of the way VLANs work within a Virtual Connect environment, I don't see VLANs being an applicable design consideration anyway; there's too much flexibility in how VLANs are presented to servers for that to drive how networking should be set up.
So what are the design considerations for Flex-10 in VMware environments, then? What would drive an architect to specify multiple FlexNICs per LOM instead of just lumping everything together in a single 10Gbps pipe? Is bandwidth the only real consideration? I'd love to hear what others think. Let me hear your thoughts in the comments—thanks!

You asked: "What would drive an architect to specify multiple FlexNICs per LOM instead of just lumping everything together in a single 10Gbps pipe?"
Quality of Service is a key factor. The architect needs to consider what QoS capabilities exist within Flex-10 before making the decision to lump everything together on one LOM.
If everything was lumped together on one 10Gbps pipe, does Flex-10 have the ability to provide a minimum guaranteed bandwidth to say the VMKernel or Service Console?
If said QoS capabilities do not exist in Flex-10, then there is no other choice but to use a hard partitioning of bandwidth via rate-limited FlexNICs in order to provide any minimum guaranteed bandwidths to critical services.
But that would only apply for a physical Oracle RAC node, because in a VM you could just add a second vNic to the VM.
As for your comment about not being able to use separate uplinks, that's not entirely true. I can have LOM1a going out one link in the back of the VC module and LOM1b going out another link.
We've used this in environments where we are implementing 10GbE iSCSI on a separate physical network and the main network is only 1GbE. Setup two NICs on each LOM (one at 2Gb, one at 8Gb) and have all the VM-related traffic going out the "a" NICs and all iSCSI traffic going out the "b" NICs.
There is no doubt that Flex-10 enables a new way of LAN thinking with ESX. Having two 10Gb pipes to carve up into up to 8 NICs provides some new creative ways to deal with VMs, and VMware architects have not had these options before.
Before even addressing the cool things you can do, we need to keep in mind that Flex-10 supports the current ESX 3.5 version in addition vSphere, and is totally transparent – no drivers, licensing, or extra support is required in the ESX kernel. A very high percentage of customers using blades (and moving to Flex-10) are existing ESX 3.5 customers – who want greater bandwidth and flexibility without having to go through an arduous software upgrade cycle.
QoS is a nice thing to have – again keeping in mind that the Nexus 1000v and QoS are not available in ESX 3.5 – QoS is rarely a decision point with regard to current Flex-10 implementations. In regard to assigning the same VLAN across multiple FlexNICs (on the same LOM), you must realize that a FlexNIC is NIC hardware, not a switch. In order for the same VLAN to be on multiple FlexNICs on the same LOM, the NIC itself would have to be able to handle some switching functions. At a Flex-10 module level it is an Ethernet rule-breaker to have the same packet reflected back up the same port it came in on (can you say Ethernet loop?). By disallowing the same VLAN across FlexNICs on the same LOM you remove the possibility of creating a loop. If the 802.1 Ethernet standard gets expanded to include VEPA, then this would not be an issue in the future as the new standard would provide for that. At present we are restricted to following all of the current 802.1 rules.
Since all 10Gb enabled blades can be leveraged well with Flex-10, you can pretty much carve up to 20Gb of dedicated LAN bandwidth up per server – and if you use Fiber Channel you still have dual 8Gb (or 4Gb) Fiber Channel connectivity through the VC-FC modules. The FC modules now come in 8Gb (8 – 8Gb uplinks) and 4Gb (4 – 4Gb uplinks) and modules. That is huge bandwidth, and VMotion does not have to be included the LAN bandwidth allocation if the VM clusters are within a single Virtual Connect domain.
With respect to what I have seen customers do, generally they create a small pipe for the Service Console and a much larger pipe for VMotion. The pipe created for VM traffic is usually more than 1Gb, and frequently customers will tunnel the tags through on that connection simply because they want the vSwitch to handle all of the tagging.
Here is the nice part with regard to VMotion and multiple blade chassis. If the customer stacks the Virtual Connect modules ACROSS multiple chassis, then a dedicated high-bandwidth VMotion network can span across as many as 4 chassis, while not requiring any connection to the core network. The high speed VMotion network uses the stacking links to move traffic between the chassis. Then customers can create MULTIPLE VMotion networks if they want different clusters of VMware servers to span multiple chassis. The uplinks to the core then carry ONLY VM and console traffic, not VMotion. Very doable. Stacking also allows any FlexNIC on any blade to connect to any VLAN on any uplink or network within a 4 chassis stack. Very powerful.
Scott, you commented about IP based storage using a fat pipe as well. In general practice I have not seen this approach used, but it is viable to dedicate a large amount of bandwidth for an IP storage network on one or more FlexNICs. You could then also create some dedicated 10Gb uplinks from the Flex-10 into the storage core to support IP storage alone. Remember that each Flex-10 module has capability for 70Gb of uplinks if you dedicate only one link to stacking. More complex designs across chassis could reduce that to 60Gb, but basically you have a lot of choices for bringing tons of bandwidth in for the network irrespective of VMotion. Because so much bandwidth is available QoS becomes less important.
In the future Flex-10 will continue to incorporate new features, and the features requested by customer most are generally the highest priority.
Full disclosure – HP employee
I agree with what the others said about QoS and sizing being the main consideration.
If it wasn't for that, you could simply use a 10GB Pass Through (a little birdy told me these do exist somewhere) and then use VLAN Tagging on Console, VMKernel and Guest to get everyone on the same page.
While I agree the power that Carl mentioned about stacking 4 chassis does sound nice, we're still dealing with single 10GB interconnects on our Cisco back end, so having more than 10GB out of the entire stack won't matter much.
However on the flip side, the thought of a 20/30/40 Gbps stack chain among 4 chassis to isolate things like vMotion or IP Storage is a great idea and one I had never really considered. I figured 10Gbps uplink means your stack wouldn't need to exceed 10.
Ultimately I am in the same boat as you are though and working with Flex-10 currently and will soon be working with Xsigo on a similar product but that can also include your FC SAN on the same cable. But just last week attended a Dog n Pony headlined by Cisco where they said they can not only do all this, with FC SAN as well, but will soon have a Cisco Nexus 4000 series switch that will go in the back of the Chassis, and in combination with a CNA (10GB Converged Networking Adapter) dropped into the Blade, you have basically the same solution but the ability to include FC SAN in the mix.
What would be really nice is to see HP offer an alternate configuration for the BL490c G6 and its brethren that has a CNA onboard in place of a Flex-10. But seeing the cost of the Flex-10 Interconnect, somehow I think that is a dream that will never be realized.
I'm going to add you to my Google Reader since this seems to be at least the 2nd post I have made to your blog and I look forward to any future updates you have on this subject since I'm going through the same thing.
Although there's a lot of talk about how much bandwidth you are able to get to your individual blades I would be suprised to see people actually sending 2 x 10G to each blade. This seems a massive amount of bandwidth which the hosts would probably not utilise.
I think the power of the blade architecture is aggregating all this bandwidth into less uplinks so you could have an entire chassis with 2 x 10Gb uplinks.
In our network profiling we think that is enough bandwidth to drive an entire chassis full of blades, running SC, VM, VMotion and NFS traffic (NetApp) through two uplinks.
We used to have 8 Gigabit nics per host (2 x SC, 2 x VMotion, 2 x NFS, 2 x VM). Granted this was the simple implementation when we did this a few years ago but times have moved on and I'm sure we could now do the same with 4 x Gigabit nics per host ( 2 x SC/VM, 2 x VMotion/NFS – with portgroups sending traffic over separate active links).
Well, add this up and for 16 ESX hosts originally we would have needed 128 Gig links, now we could get away with 64 Gig links (with 4 per host).
Using HP blades we can now use 2 x 10Gb uplinks per chassis. A massive reduction in cabling with associated complexity / cost.
The problem though with aggregating all this traffic is how do you guarantee anything. You may allocate 1 Gb to your VMs and 1Gb to your VMotion but this already adds up to 32Gb, more than 2 uplinks being clever with your Portgroups.
We're trying to work out what's best. Do we just have 2 x 10Gb Nics per host with all traffic giong through these links and no Flexing. What do we share? I would like to ensure NFS traffic and VM traffic isn't compromised so I could put them in different portgroups so they use different uplinks but where would I put VMotion as this could be a bandwidth hog?
I don't want to add more uplinks just to satisfy VMotion as I don't really need more bandwidth normally.
Also this means we don't really use the Flex-Nic part of Virtual Connect as even though we can create multiple networks they would share the same uplinks so as per my original comments allocating bandwidth per Flex-Nic is a little meaningless.
What I would love though is HP to provide some reference architecture for ESX with Flex-10 and Virtual Connect. There's just too much confusing information out there and getting this design correct is critical. With having more eggs in a basket if you have to change the way you build your basket it now has a lot more impact.
HP's site is also very confusing and clumsy, they have forum posts in at least two separate locations, a sort of separate blade solutions are but I still haven't found simple things like the best way to integrate the c7000 with HPSIM.
HP should really take a leaf out of NetApp's book who are excellent at their Technical Reports which are incredibly useful in setting up their kit.
Scott, thanks again for all your work.
With one chassis, using normal switch modules, we can have Vmotion network not leave the switch into the core, and therefore no uplink cabling. Of course we have to have a switch module for each NIC to be used, so, typically, 2x for Vmotion network.
Are you saying that this is not true for the VC.
I.e., that Vmotion would require going to an external switch and back to the other ESX (absent extra chassis as you described)?
Another reason for having multiple flexNICS in your design is the VLAN limit on a per FlexNIC basis.
Although the Shared Uplink Set supports 64 VLANS and within a few weeks this will increase to 128, there appears to be a 28 VLAN limit applied per FlexNIC when using VLAN mapping.
So in my environment where we have 35 different VLANS presented to the ESX servers, we need to split these down to different flexNICs, whilst ensuring they are on different LOMS and obvioulsy split to seperate VC modules.
I hope it is possible in vConnect/Flex-10 to use vlan "tunneling" (L2???) and let the vswitch and the physical upstream switch handle the tags. But so far in my testing I cannot get NFS working through a vConnect tunnel. The 28 vlan limit per flexNIC is not an option in our environment.
In my old production environment (ESX 3.5) we simply used ethernet pass-through modules on our blade chassis, and maybe I'm wrong but I would think this would amount to the same thing as a vConnect tunnel.
Comments are now closed.

"How stupid of me to take this route; it's always full of traffic."
"I'm so dumb, I forgot to bring my notebook."
"You clumsy idiot, you dropped your drink again."
Mary's story was a wake-up call for me. Would I ever call a friend "dumb" or "stupid" or an "idiot"? No! Inspired by her words, I took up the practice of what Buddhists call metta which means loving-kindness or friendliness. The usual instruction for cultivating metta is to start with yourself. So I did.

The myth is that men don't enjoy providing women with oral sex. Actually, many (most?) love it. For many men, this special gift feels deeply intimate and very satisfying. In addition, women are much more likely to have orgasms from oral than intercourse. Cunnilingus is not difficult, but some men are unschooled in the fine points. Here's how to boost her pleasure and your self-confidence.
"Cunnilingus" comes from the Latin cunnus for vulva, women's external genitalia, and lingere, to lick. Cunnilingus is popular but less so than many people believe. According to a recent survey by researchers at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute, 75 percent of adult women have received it at least once, with 60 percent of those age 21 to 49 saying they've received it during the past year, and 33 percent of women over 50.
Many women feel self-conscious about the aroma and taste of their genitals, and spend $150 million a year on douches. Gynecologists deride douching as hygienically unnecessary. Natural cervical mucus keeps the vagina clean, and washing with soap and water keeps the vulva clean and tasting like the mouth during deep kissing.

Gov. Brown Proposes Cuts and Taxes in State of the State
In his State of the State address Governor Jerry Brown not only talked about California's progress, but also proposed cuts and temporary taxes.
"Neither is popular, but both must be done," he said.
The Governor said they have been able to reduce the state's deficit from $20 Billion to $15 Billion, and said that is the way to help close the gap.
Republicans said the proposal is vintage Jerry Brown.
"Taxes, taxes, taxes is always the solution," said Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, "We're told it's a temporary tax (but it) funds permanent program."
Conway suggested capital gains and sales revenue went up last year because temporary taxes weren't extended.
Brown added another way to grow the economy is with green jobs and energy, which included high speed rail.
He said they have a proposal to begin initial construction on high speed rail before the year is out.
"President Obama strongly supports the project and provided the majority of funds for the first phase," said Brown.
Republicans don't think that's the right direction.
"Subsidizing the green economy is the same as in Greece and Italy and Spain. It's not going to pencil," said Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Grass Valley.
"We need real jobs, right now, shovel ready," said Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R- Dana Point, "Not a hundred miles dug up in the middle of the central valley on a train no one will use."
The Governor shifted the focus to education. Along with promising more tax dollars, Brown also talked about holding principals and teachers accountable as well as changes for standardized testing; he wants less tests and the results being available in weeks instead of months.
Republicans agreed education is important, but the Governor's focus should be getting people back to work.
Brown believes that will happen, "We're on the move, we're on the mend, let's get it done."
Right after his speech, the Governor began a two-day swing through southern California to rally support for his proposals.
To read the full text of Governor Brown's speech, click here.
Two weeks ago, Governor Brown outlined his proposed 2012 budget, it included cutting nearly a Billion and a half. He also incorporated a temporary income and sales tax that he hopes will be approved to help balance the budget.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Tue, Jun 29, 2010
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD recently
introduced the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), an
integrated set of supercomputing, visualization, and data
interaction technologies that will enhance agency capabilities in
weather and climate prediction research.
"The NASA Center for Climate Simulation has been designed to
meet the unique computational needs of the climate modeling
community supported by NASA's Earth Science Division," said Phil
Webster, chief of Goddard's Computational and Information Sciences
and Technology Office, which manages NCCS.
The new center more than doubles the computing capacity
available at Goddard one year ago and expands other services to
support NASA's growing climate data needs. Enhanced NCCS
capabilities include:
Approximately $5,449,739 was provided through the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act toward the completion of NCCS.
Goddard is home to one of the largest contingents of Earth
scientists in the world. Scientists in the Global Modeling and
Assimilation Office (GMAO) and the Goddard Institute for Space
Studies (GISS) in New York City represent the two largest NCCS user
groups. GMAO and GISS simulations investigate weather and climate
phenomena at time scales ranging from days to centuries.
"The computing resources at NCCS are critical to our ability to
use NASA satellite data in our model-based analyses, which help us
characterize and understand Earth's changing climate," said Michele
Rienecker, GMAO head. "Moreover, NCCS enables us to undertake
climate simulations and predictions and to share the results with
our fellow scientists and other users."
Several NCCS-hosted simulations are being displayed on the
visualization wall for scientists and visitors:
NCCS is part of the NASA High-End Computing Program and serves
the agency's Science Mission Directorate. The center was previously
known as the NASA Center for Computational Sciences.

2013 Oregon Legislative Session Nears End
OPB | July 3, 2013 12:06 p.m. | Updated: Sept. 11, 2013 1:02 a.m.
The Oregon legislature is in the last days of its session, with some capitol watchers expecting it to wrap up before the Fourth of July holiday. The session's defining battle has been over PERS reform and taxes, and it has continued into these few remaining days.
Plenty of legislation is moving forward, though. The K-12 budget was increased by about $1 billion over 2011-2013. That bill passed easily in the House after a hard road through the Senate.
So far in the last week, the Oregon Senate passed increased penalties on animal abusers and rejected a plan that would have cut PERS and increased taxes. Governor John Kitzhaber will soon receive legislation to increase penalties for sex traffickers, ban commercial canola crops in the Willamette Valley, and reduce sentences for some crimes.
Are you an Oregon voter? What do you think of the bills coming out of the state legislature this year?

The stuff which Tim Gould kept for auction looks very interesting and unique.I am sure he would got huge response from people.
GARDINER, MAINE — Tim Gould is charming and enthusiastic, and certainly has not lost his love of great country objects. He was a great picker for many years and decided to open an auction service 13 years ago so that he and others like him had a venue with which to reach dealers and collectors who share the same love of paint, surface and form. Gould's most recent auction was conducted on December 7 at the Gardiner Sportsman's Hall.
Entering the facility reminds me of my first years in the business and the remarkable shows in Concord, N.H., run by Sara French. There were so many neat items that it was difficult to know where to look first. Tim's son-in-law Chris Chapman does an amazing job of turning a dated function hall into a gallery. Vignettes of painted items, checkerboards, signs, painted baskets and pantry boxes surround tavern tables and banister back chairs. The back of the hall looked like an Adirondack lodge. An area on the side showed off the wonderful early needlework collection of Martha Genung Stearns. And the stage was like a magnet with all the colors of a rainbow — if that rainbow had been drawn by a lover of New England country objects.
Tim gives credit to Chris for the pleasing setup and for being his assistant in all the steps it takes for a successful event. As with most good auction companies in this time of transition, one needs to keep the strengths of the past and carefully incorporate modern technology.
Gould Auctions has one other important ingredient. It focuses almost solely on its niche. You will not find European items nor jewelry nor Midcentury Modern here, as in most other auction companies that diversify. This is a marketplace for strong country furniture and accessories, fresh to the market and mostly found in New England. Tim has a loyal following of dealers and collectors from Maine, other parts of New England and beyond. And he reaches out to them with a website that is informative, colorful and with weekly updates as items come in. Tim also expressed his great appreciation for loyal clients who helped him build a very successful niche auction company.
The stars of the December show were plentiful. A merganser drake decoy in good condition from the Simmons family of Friendship, Maine, came with a great story. Back in 1983, Tim Gould bought 11 matching decoys from the family and wondered where the 12th decoy lived. Well, in 2013, 30 years later, it was found in the next door neighbor's home and found its way to Tim's auction. Obviously, a mix-up after a hunting excursion and an interesting story. With four phone bidders lined up, this sleek Maine merganser sold for $863.
A lively and unusual hooked rug with a design of strawberries set on a dark background featured a straw-colored cartouche surrounding multiple strawberries and leaves floating on a dark field and with three strawberries in each corner. The rug's unique design brought back memories of warm spring days, picking strawberries in a field. With a Maine history and from an old collection, this 33-by-50-inch rug brought $1,840 from a phone bidder.
This auction had a wonderful assortment of early American crewelwork pieces from the collection of Martha Genung Stearns, author of Homespun and Blue, published in 1940 and reissued in 1963. The star of the collection was the Sewell family child's blanket, white wool homespun with crewelwork embroidered decoration. It sold to a phone bidder for $2,300. A small (7 by 6 inches) American crewel work decorated lady's pocket in green and red homespun and overall decorated with strawberries, strawberry flowers and leaves opened at $500 and was captured by a phone bidder for $1,035. And a lovely and large crewel decorated piece, cataloged as a gentleman's "work bag" with overall stitching on a vibrant blue background, opened at $500 and after two persistent phone bidders finished, it was knocked down for a healthy $3,163.
An iconic Maine object, useful and graphic, a log caliper with wheel was stamped "V. Fabian Milo Junction, Maine." It was 45 inches long and had interest from three in-house bidders and two telephone bidders and sold for $1,088.
One of the sweetest items at the sale was a 15-inch-tall pipe or wall box with drawer in a dry dark red paint. Its appeal stemmed from condition, surface and the construction, all of which set it above most wall boxes. Two in-house bidders and a phone bidder pushed the price to a hefty $6,038. Another standout item was a sweet and large onion lantern with terrific dry mustard paint. It stood 19 inches tall and sold to a New Hampshire dealer for $1,150.
The tiny (4 by 2½ by 1½ inches) lipstick red Shaker box, found in Augusta, Maine, was a sweet size and had great color and condition. It made one dealer who drove all the way from New York State very happy, and stunned her husband with the price of $4,888.
One of the most colorful country accessories was a double-sided game board discovered in a house in Waterville, Maine. The chrome yellow and dark red paint on this checkerboard and backgammon combination was vibrant and it brought a reasonable $2,300.
Just because an artifact is found in New England, does not mean it originated there. A secessionist banner from South Carolina, watercolor on silk and from one of the first Secessionist movements, was put into play with five phones involved; it was a nice buy at $2,875. Another mid-Nineteenth Century historical object was an 1862 Civil War sword and scabbard presented to Lieutenant Isaac Potter of the Third Rhode Island Heavy Artillery with an overall length of 33 inches. After activity from four phones, it sold for $2,875.
Adding interest to a diminutive gray painted staved bucket, less than 8 inches tall, was the stylized pencil inscription on the bottom. "Stolen from C.B. Wade....Athens.....Wade V.G.O." Perhaps Wade wanted to lower the risk of theft was one theory. It was an audience favorite and the final price was $3,393. A red and green painted pack basket, large, early and with punchy red diamonds and circles painted on a Windsor green background, brought $1,495.
The largest and most graphic painted trade sign was in the form of a pointing hand and at 51 inches long, very impressive. It opened and closed to a left bid at $3,335. A collection of farm stand signs did well, as they were painted in red and blue on a white background. Hands down the best of a category whose items are usually pedestrian in design, they had been found in a house next to a farm in Salisbury, Mass. "Ripe Tomatoes" sold for $518. "Petunias," my favorite of the lots, brought a strong $460. "Cucumbers" was popular at $316, and "Cabbage," not so much, brought $201.
Prices reported include the buyer's premium.
All in all, a good day for auctioneer, consignors and buyers. Because the auction was conducted on Pearl Harbor Day, Tim talked to the audience about his concerns to be respectful of all veterans on this important day in history. A moment of silence, after a personal story regarding a young man who lost his life in service to his country, reminded us all that life is not to be taken lightly. Then it was show time. Fun was had by all, bidding was brisk, there were good buys and strong prices for strong items, but the buyers were happy. And the weather was fine for a day in December in Maine.

Kent State's football team shined on the field this fall — and in the classroom, too.
The school announced Friday that 45 football players carried a 3.0 or better GPA during the fall semester, the most since the school starting keeping records of such things in 1982. Eighteen players made the dean's list, signaling a GPA of 3.4 or better.
The No. 25 Golden Flashes, 11-2 after losing the MAC Championship Game in double overtime, play in the GoDaddy.com Bowl on Jan. 6, Kent State's first bowl game in 40 years.
On Thursday night, FOXSportsOhio.com learned that Kent State linebackers coach Marcus Freeman, a former Ohio State linebacker, has accepted a position with former Kent State coach Darrell Hazell at Purdue. Hazell accepted the Purdue job earlier this month but will coach Kent State in the bowl game.

In October 2000, President Clinton signed the Children's Health Act of 2000, P.L. 106-310. This significant new law established national standards that restrict the use of restraint and seclusion in all psychiatric facilities that receive federal funds and in "non-medical community-based facilities for children and youth."
In addition, NAMI will be following the implementation of key provisions under the general requirements, which include:
For children's non-medical community programs:
NOTE: These R/S standards apply only to psychiatric treatment facilities that receive federal funding. They do not affect use of restraint and seclusion in schools, wilderness camps, jails, or prisons. P.L. 106-310 also does not impede any federal or state laws or regulations that provide greater protections than written in the Children's Health Act of 2000. Thus, rules issued by the Health Care Financing Administration in 1999 that included a requirement for face-to-face evaluations by mental health professionals within one hour of initiating restraint are affirmed.

(though they do show great promise)

Univ of California, extensive cross-faculty research, quoting their press release:

"Consumers should be aware of the potential harm from contaminants
found in LED bulbs:
Toxins like lead and arsenic are linked to various cancers, brain
damage, hypertension, skin rashes, and other illnesses.
"Measures that could be put in place may be to wear personal safety protection when cleaning up a broken LED bulb, whether at home, or with a cleanup crew at a traffic accident.
Under today's law, LEDs are disposed of in typical landfills and are not classified as toxic, but the researchers are hoping that their study will change that.

The diodes (LEDs) are widely hailed as safer than compact fluorescent bulbs,
which contain dangerous mercury. But, as Oladele Ogunseitan, chair of
UC Irvine's Department of Population Health & Disease Prevention said,
they weren't properly tested for potential environmental health impacts before being marketed as the preferred alternative to inefficient incandescent bulbs, now being phased out under California law."

|In a recent trip to Central America, I came home with a few hibiscus seeds, a couple "nance" fruit seeds, a bunch of celosia seeds, and one mystery seed which I cannot recall!! I remember being given each of the other seeds by friends I was with, but this one I can't remember at all. I put it in some potting soil, and it germinated and grew quickly. I want to make sure I can ID it before I even think about putting it outside though--last thing I want to do is accidentally spread something that could be invasive.
I have a picture with the seed (along with nance and jamaica hibiscus). The mystery seed is black or very dark brown, and sort of oval or vase shaped and pitted. About half an inch long.
I tried emailing somebody in Honduras who might know, he or his family probably gave me the seed, but I haven't heard anything back.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Can you post a pic of the seed as well?

|That sure reminds me of Four O'clocks (mirabilis)
|was it the seed from the link
Here is a link that might be useful: LINK to mirabilis_jalapa seed
|Yes, it looks like that! :) The seed is the dark one bottom left of the attached picture (I tried uploading multiple pics on my first post but didn't succeed).
I live in Vermont. I don't to plant something outside in my garden that will take over--sounds like 4 O'Clocks are common enough for gardens though? Any tips appreciated!
I was worried it might be a fallopia, related to Japanese Knotweed, but then it (in the Polygonaceae family) would have alternate rather than opposite leaves.
|I think the seed on the left is a 4 o'clock.

|Yes, looks like a tiny grenade.

NEW YORK, NY (PIX 11)—Fighting the variety of security threats facing the New York City Metro Area costs money, about a half-billion federal dollars a year at last count. But a new proposal from the Republican Party slashes that amount so significantly that it has a prominent New York Republican fighting against his party on the issue.
House Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King, a Republican from Seaford, Long Island, is working with Democrats to oppose a GOP bill that would cut homeland security funding by more than half.
The money, in the form of federal homeland security grants, pays for things like radiation detection devices, training law enforcement in anti-terror tactics, security camera systems and firefighter and police radios.
"It's absolutely insane trying to cut these grants," King said in an interview on the PIX Morning News Friday. "We have icons like Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal [to keep safe.]"
Currently, homeland security grants total about $2.2 billion annually. The GOP bill calls for that amount to be $1 billion in the next federal budget. It's a figure that is in sharp contrast to President Barack Obama's budget proposal, which seeks $2.82 billion in homeland security funds.
Democrats vow to try to gain funding at the level the president is seeking, and Peter King is vowing to work with Democrats. "I assure you I will do all I can to get this thing done," he told PIX11 News.
The Republican bill has a long way to go before it could be adopted, and noting the obstacles it still has to cross, it seems unlikely that it would pass Congress in its current form. It will be debated Friday in the House Appropriations Subcommittee. However, in order to become law, the bill would have to be approved by that subcommittee, then pass muster with the full Appropriations Committee, and get a similar bill to pass the senate, which is controlled by Democrats.

CARBONDALE — A Southern Illinois University assistant political science professor in Carbondale is accusing the university of sex discrimination, claiming she was wrongly passed over for tenure that ultimately went to three men.
The Southern Illinoisian reports Laura Hatcher filed the suit against the university's board of trustees and the Carbondale school's chancellor, Rita Cheng.
Hatcher alleges that administrators gave tenure to three men last year and not her even though she had more experience, better credentials and faculty support.
Hatcher says that after appealing the rejection, the school's Judicial Review Board unanimously decided in her favor before Cheng overturned the decision.
Rod Sievers, an SIU spokesman, declined comment Thursday, saying the university doesn't publicly discuss personnel matters.

Jesus Meets His Mother
During Lent, we Catholics have a rich and age-old tradition of praying the Stations of the Cross every Friday. This devotion finds it's richness in meditating on the 14 "stations" or stages of Christ's way to Golgotha, from His condemnation to His burial, found in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. A great way to practice this devotion is to read and pray each station through the eyes of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary had the most intimate relationship with our Lord, so it is fitting that we identify ourselves with her when we consider His sufferings—as she was the one most deeply affected by the cross with the one exception of Christ Himself. In light of this, I wrote the following meditation on the 4th station, "Jesus Meets His Mother." I hope it helps you grasp the rich nature of this devotion.
The crowd roars. There are screams, insults, lamentation, orders and lashes from the guards, all in a terrible crescendo that never resolves, never plateaus.
She hears none of it.
Above this deafening symphony of sorrow, a mother & handmaid hears something louder. There are shortened breaths, the splintering of wood dragged over stone, staggered footsteps—which she matches, to keep at an empathetic pace—and a heartbeat rising in a more dramatic fashion than the loudness of the crowd around her. He falls, the crowd roars on, but It all stops.
She hears nothing.
A mother runs to meet her son. The lowly handmaid runs to meet the Most High God. As mother, she wants to offer the consolation of her face and voice. As handmaid, she wants to offer the consolation and reparation of her love.
Let it be done unto me. They have no wine.
This is her son, the flesh of her flesh and bone of her bone. This is her God, the mighty one of Israel showing the strength of His arm. Yet, pushed to the limit of rejection and exhaustion, He falls. Perhaps she says nothing. Perhaps she merely pushes through the crowd, lowers herself to Him as He once did to her, and locks her eyes to His. Staring deeply therein, they speak without words. He rises, and it hurts. She lost Him once in Jerusalem, and it's about to happen again.
She hears everything.
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Wheelock Properties swing into the red due to fair value loss
Published on Feb 26, 2013 10:05 PM
WHEELOCK Properties sank into the red for the fourth quarter with a loss of $30.8 million.
It recorded a net profit of $121 million in the same period a year earlier.
Revenue plunged 50 per cent to $28.1 million in the three-month period ended Dec 31 due to an absence of profit recognition and lower sales from Scotts Square, completed in the third quarter of 2011.
This was partially offset by higher sales at Orchard View, the firm said in a statement today.

Does Netflix have the answer for synagogues and other Jewish communal institutions?
According to a recent article in the New York Times, Netflix, the popular on-line dvd rental company, has changed its strategy concerning customer service. It no longer uses e-mail. Instead, it employs customer service representatives 24-hours-a-day to handle customer issues. It considers this renewed approach a strategy to challenge its competition. Rather than looking for the cheapest labor possible, it located its call center in Hillsboro, Oregon, considering its local residents to be among the friendliest in the United States. Its toll-free customer service number, which used to be buried in its website, is now located on its home page. And people are encouraged to call rather than simply looking for answers to their frequently asked questions on their website or to post any questions there.
Some will argue that it is inappropriate to use a business model to inform the way the Jewish community does its business. Others will say that companies like Netflix can afford certain luxuries that an overburdened, understaffed Jewish communal institution, especially a synagogue, cannot afford. But there are lessons to be learned. The Jewish community has been quick to adapt cost-saving measures such as voicemail. And it has also installed websites in order to communicate to its constituency.
Perhaps such a personalized approach is too expensive for one institution to undertake. But maybe it is a vehicle for community cooperation. It is true that in order to secure the Jewish future, we need strong institutions. But we will also need these institutions to be concerned about the entire Jewish community and not just the survival and growth of their own institution. What is clear about the approach Netflix is taking is that for the business to be sustained and grow, the focus has to be on the customer. Maybe it is time for the Jewish community reorient its focus, as well.

Wow! What a revolutionary idea — having a business or synagogue focus on its customers instead of trying to hide from them. Kerry brings up some very interesting thoughts that are certainly worth serious consideration.
I've always been troubled by my own synagogue's limited 8:30-5PM hours Mon-Fri. I've visited the Temple many times during these hours and it is usually a ghost town, save the staff and clergy. As I've said to our Temple before, these limited hours may serve some of our retirees well, but certainly not our working families….. is it a wonder we have trouble attracting young people and working families when we're unwilling to be flexible to their needs and expect them to work around ours?
Keep up the good work Kerry!!

Thanks Sue. We keep trying to stretch the envelope in order to help the community serve the people more effectively.
