Got lots of suggestions to make my own starter... Not sure I know how to do that yet.
4 qts water to 1 cup DME. Boil water & add DME. Boil for 15 minutes. Cool in ice bath to 70-65'. Pour into flask (you will have around 1800ml) & then add Wyeast. Put on stirplate for 24-48 hours. Montanaandy
Follow my link, Andy is a "bit" off with the 16 cups water to 1 cup DME recommendation. If his measurement you could make a 5 gallon batch of beer with 5 cups of DME.
Zane - you a are partially correct - I meant to type 2 qts of water/64 o to 1 cup/8 oz DME as per Palmer. You advocate 16 oz of water to 4 oz of DME which would translate to 32 oz of water to 8 oz of DME. Too thick and more than is needed. I will stick with Palmer's recommendations as they have served me well. Montanaandy.
1.5c dme and 2qt water yields 1.033
"1.5c dme and 2qt water yields 1.033"
So your point is...
I will stick with 8oz/1 cup DME/64 oz H2o. If you want to use 50% more DME go for it. Ultimately, use a stir plate or you are completely wasting your time. Montanaandy
I don't mean to be anal, but I think you are confusing the fact that 1 cup of DME is not 8 oz by weight, its approximately 3.5 to 4oz by weight. Besides even Palmer recommends going with 1 cup to 32oz (1 qt) to produce an OG 1.040:

Just because a computer is too old for a school district, doesn't mean it has lost its useful life.
Indian Prairie students spent this week transforming 5-year-old laptops into working computers for their classmates who cannot afford a computer of their own.
For the past few days, roughly two dozen students from middle and high schools in Indian Prairie School District 204 have been tearing apart, reimaging and cleaning up old computer laptops taken out of service across the district.
The yeoman's effort being undertaken at Still Middle School in Aurora was a part of a partnership between School District 204, the Indian Prairie Educational Foundation and Naperville computer consulting firm Integral Corp.
Sun Kwok, who started Integral Corp., provided the technical expertise and organized the work flow. The foundation funded the supplies, and Indian Prairie students performed the labor.
This year, students worked on 548 laptops, bringing the total number of computers donated back to the community to 1,266 since the program was first introduced in 2009, according to Janet Buglio, District 204 executive director of communications.
The Computer Redeployment Program was able work on more computers this year beacuse they all were laptops. In previous years, Dell PCs, with separate towers, keyboards and monitors, took more time and energy to check and repair.
Foundation Executive Director Susan Rasmus said the $1,500 donated by the foundation covers the cost of products to clean the computers, lunch for the volunteers, and the flash drives and other computer supplies needed to get the computers in working order.
Other than earning service hours and getting lunch, students provided the labor for free.
Rasmus said the greatest part of this project is the collaboration between students and the business community to help bring technology to families that cannot afford to buy a computer.
With the district's push to Bring Your Own Technology, students who don't have a computer are at a disadvantage, according to Kwok.
He cited the Pearson's Digits program piloted in eight-grade classrooms at Crone Middle School as an example where a computer is necessary. He said libraries close at 9 p.m., and it's not always convenient to use a friend's computer.
By refurbishing the laptops, more students will have access to computers and help level the playing field.
Rasmus also said what little the foundation pays doesn't compare to how much the District 204 saves. Kwok said having the District 204 information technology team repurpose the computers diverts resources away from installing new computers and preparing for the new school year. He estimated hiring a computer company to do the same work could easily cost more than $50,000.
While it takes his company a bit of time to prepare the initial programming and tools needed to reimage the computers, the majority of the work is performed by students.
Kwok also said taxpayers paid for the computers, so it is important to redeploy them back into the community where the money came from, rather than sell them to a recycling company where the computers could go anywhere.
The process is fairly simple. Students first go through and test each laptop to see if it boots up and determine if all the keys work. Working computers go into one pile, others get labeled with whatever their problem is and set aside.
Functional computers are reimaged to their original manufacturer's state with Microsoft Vista Business, with any updates, as well as free virus and malware protection programs. Then students remove all the District 204 stickers before polishing up the laptop to look brand new.
Broken computers are assessed to determine if they can be repaired. Those that cannot be fixed are used for parts to repair other laptops. Those returned to working order go through the reimaging and cleaning processes.
Kwok said kids get so much out of volunteering for this project. He said student volunteers not only gain valuable technology skills, but they also learn about teamwork and leadership.
Even though she graduated from Neuqua Valley in May, Purdue-bound freshman Laura Mishell opted to volunteer again like she did in 2012. Mishell, who plans to study fashion design, was a team leader in the room where the computer cleaning was being performed.
During the two-day computer project, Mishell applied the skills she gained on a recent trip to Peru through a freshman leadership program at Purdue.
"This is one way I can implement what I learned into everyday life," she said.
Kwok said he enjoys giving back, and this project is not only fun for him, but for his two children who were among the volunteers.Tags: Indian Prairie School District 204

(Updates with Lewis positions in fifth paragraph, comments from Republican in 10th paragraph, Christie in 11th paragraph.)
Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Carl Lewis, the nine-time Olympic gold medalist, said the legal fight over whether he is a New Jersey resident has helped his campaign for state Senate by making more people aware he's running.
"I want to move on," Lewis, 50, told reporters today outside a sports bar in Westampton, south of Trenton, where he announced his running mates for two Assembly seats. "We're on the ballot. We're moving forward."
Lewis, a Democrat vying to represent the state's 8th Legislative District, won a second federal appeals court ruling yesterday allowing his name on the ballot. He persuaded the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia to reverse a Sept. 7 ruling barring his name from the list of candidates.
The 2-1 decision reinstated the former track-and-field star as the Democratic Party nominee. Lewis won an uncontested primary in June after the appeals panel temporarily blocked a ruling by New Jersey's top elections official that Lewis was ineligible because he didn't meet residency requirements.
Lewis is the son of teachers who has been a volunteer track coach at Willingboro High. He said education is his top issue, and that educators should be judged on performance, not seniority. While he supports collective bargaining for public employees, Lewis declined to say whether he would have backed the pension and benefit changes sought by Republican Governor Chris Christie and enacted in June.
Residency Questions
Secretary of State Kim Guadagno, a Republican and Christie's lieutenant, wouldn't certify Lewis as a candidate last month, citing questions about where he lives. U.S. District Court Judge Noel Hillman ruled last week that Guadagno's decision and the state's four-year residency requirement didn't violate Lewis's constitutional rights. November ballots are scheduled to be printed by Sept. 18.
The case turned on whether Lewis had his primary residence in the state before a Nov. 8, 2007, cutoff. Lewis grew up in New Jersey and competed for Willingboro High School before moving to Texas and California. Lawyers for the former long jumper and sprinter said he had a condominium in Mount Laurel in 2005 and then bought a home in nearby Medford in 2007, where he lives.
Guadagno said the record showed Lewis didn't buy his current home until Nov. 16, 2007, eight days after the cutoff. She also argued that Lewis certified he was a California resident each time he voted there in three elections in 2008 and one in 2009.
Republicans React
Burlington County Republicans, who initiated the legal action, said the latest court decision "effectively eliminates residency requirements to run for office in order to allow a wealthy celebrity on the ballot."
"We expect to appeal and are considering our legal options," Chris Russell, a spokesman for the county Republican committee, said in a statement.
Christie, a first-term Republican, told reporters today in Bergenfield that he hasn't discussed next steps with Guadagno or the other Republicans who are party to the suit. The governor said he has "absolutely no idea" how they will proceed.
"If the courts find that Carl Lewis is supposed to be in, whether I agree personally or disagree is of no moment," Christie said. "If he's supposed to be in, then he's in. He runs and we'll see what happens. I'm really not all that focused on it, nor do I care too much about it. It's one of 40 races for state Senate."
Lewis has been campaigning to represent a district that has traditionally elected Republicans. Incumbent Dawn Marie Addiego, a Republican, was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Phil Haines, who was named to the superior court bench.
"I'm not running for New Jersey Senate because I wanted to become a politician, I'm running because I wanted to serve," Lewis said.

2010 National Summer LearningPosted byon July 8, 2010 at 9:48 AM EST
On June 8th, the First Lady launched United We Serve: Let's Read, Let's Move, a national call to service. This summer the President and First Lady have called on Americans to use service as a tool to promote physical activity, healthy eating and to prevent losing academic learning during the summer months. This call to service encourages Americans to help fight something called the "summer reading gap" - where kids who don't read during the summer can lose months of educational progress.
To help address these challenges the Corporation for National and Community Service has partnered with the Department of Education, National Summer Learning Association, Reach Out and Read, First Book and the National Military Families Association -- among others, to reach a broad and diverse group of youth to promote National Summer Learning. All throughout the Summer, schools and organizations will be hosting events, giving away books and focusing on promoting the importance of summer learning. To find out about all the activities going on across the nation check out theNational Summer Learning Day website.
United We Serve: Let's Read. Let's Move makes it easy for Americans to help youth build strong minds through summer reading. Kids engaged in summer reading activities are better prepared for the new academic year, show improvement in spelling, writing style, vocabulary and grammatical development. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan put it best when he said:
"The key to stopping summer learning loss is reading. If a child reads a minimum of five books between June and August, they will be on track for success next school year. We need every child to read at least 5 books this summer and every adult to help. We are really excited to help kick off Let's Read. Let's Move and look forward to working with the Corporation for National Service and the rest of the Administration on this important initiative."
To do their part, the Department of Education is inviting cabinet members, senior administration officials, and other public figures to their 2010 Summer Enrichment Series to read children's books, promote healthy lifestyles, and participate in games and fitness activities with children in pre-kindergarten through third grade.
Even if you miss out on the activities in the month of June, it's never too late to pick up a book and do your part. If your community is looking to get involved and participate, please see the Summer Learning Day Planning Kit or visit Serve.gov to find a way to volunteer in your community.

2010 National Conference on Volunteering and ServicePosted byon July 7, 2010 at 4:30 PM EST
As she wrote on the White House blog the last week, Domestic Policy Council Director Melody Barnes gave the keynote address at the opening plenary session for the 2010 National Conference on Volunteering and Service. We have included her full remarks below.
Melody Barnes' Remarks at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service
June 28, 2010
Radio City Music Hall - New York, NY
Hello! How's everyone doing out there? It is great to see so many familiar faces. First, I would like to thank Mayor Bloomberg for hosting us here in the great City of New York and for his consistent leadership in service and social innovation, particularly his work on the Cities of Service initiative.
We are all indebted to Patrick Corvington, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, and Michelle Nunn of the Points of Light Institute for their great leadership – and of course, thank you to the staff at CNCS and Points of Light Institute for all that they have done to make today possible.
I'm also thrilled that Senator Warner – from my home state of Virginia -- is here as a supporter of service and innovation.
Let's give all of them and all those who have helped pull this fantastic event together a round of applause.
I am excited to join all of you who have dedicated your lives to serving your communities and giving others the opportunity to do the same. I can't believe it's already been a year since the last National Conference in San Francisco, but what a tremendous year it has been for service.
As you well know, our nation faces a daunting set of challenges. But, from day one, the President has acted on the principle that "service is a solution" – that service is a critical tool as we address our national priorities: education, health care, energy, and economic recovery.
The President and First Lady have always believed that the best ideas don't come from Washington. They come from individuals and communities all across the country. That's why the President tasked me with creating the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation as part of the Domestic Policy Council in the White House – to find the best ways to invest in and scale programs that work and find ways to help communities better solve their own problems. We know that we need to get the policies right, but we also know that Americans everywhere are already working to make a difference – and they deserve our support.
That's why one of the President's top priorities in his first 100 days was to sign the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. We worked with our colleagues on both sides of the aisle in Congress and with those of you who have been working in the trenches for years to give the American people more opportunities to serve.
This legislation bears the name of a consummate public servant and guiding light for so many of us, and Senator Kennedy worked tirelessly with his close friend Senator Hatch to pass it. The Act provides the greatest growth in service opportunities in a generation, including an increase in the size of AmeriCorps from 75,000 members to 250,000 by 2017.
Included in the Serve America Act is the exciting new Social Innovation Fund or SIF. The SIF will support innovative and potentially transformative community solutions that are having an impact at the local level and have the potential to serve even more communities. During the past year, the Corporation for National and Community Service crafted the fund with help from thousands of you who lent your feedback and ideas, and CNCS will be announcing the first grantees later this summer.
At last year's conference, the First Lady also asked every American to do their part when she launched United We Serve – an ongoing effort to get everyone involved in addressing our most pressing challenges. Since then, millions of Americans have stepped up to the plate. And this summer, the First Lady is calling on us again through United We Serve: Let's Read, Let's Move. Working together, we can reduce the summer learning loss and tackle childhood obesity through exercise and healthy eating. Already, federal agencies, non-profit organizations from 4-H to Reach Out and Read, and individuals are stepping up to answer that call. We hope many more of you – national organizations and individual citizens, alike – will do the same.
During the past year, we've come a long way, and we've achieved a lot together. So let me say: thank YOU for your work over the last year and the many years that preceded it. YOU made this happen. YOU living proof that service isn't separate from our national priorities, instead it's pivotal to solving them.
But let me say -- to borrow a phrase you may have heard from the President -- we have more work to do.
While there is undoubtedly momentum in the right direction, the problems we face are daunting. Our nation is still on the long path to recovery, and an oil spill – the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history – has once again devastated the people of the Gulf Coast who have met so much hardship with resilience and determination.
In fact, it's in times like these that we need the power of service and social innovation more than ever. That's why the theme of this conference is: "it's up to you". As the President and First Lady have said over and over, government cannot address these problems alone. We have to marshal the talents, resources, and ingenuity of people in communities across the country – people like you and the thousands you represent.
There are many ways to make a difference: from military service to public service; from serving as a teacher, firefighter, police officer, or librarian, to running a local nonprofit that addresses unmet needs in a community. But the common thread is that those who serve do so for a reason larger than themselves. They take responsibility – YOU take responsibility -- not just for your own health and well-being, but also for your neighbors'. Let me give you some evidence to support that statement.
Is anyone here from Pennsylvania?! Let's talk about what's going on there – an innovative partnership between City Year, Communities in Schools, and Johns Hopkins Talent Development. Called "Diplomas Now," the initiative is focused on solving the dropout crisis. Well, the program started as a pilot in a Philadelphia school and began showing very promising results –an 83% drop in failing math students, an 80% drop in failing English students, and an 85% drop in student suspensions. Because success should breed success, Diplomas Now has expanded to Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans and San Antonio – and is looking to grow even more.
And think about Youth Villages, which Sonal Shah – the Director of my Social Innovation team -- visited in Memphis as part of our Community Solutions Tour. Anyone here from Tennessee?! (Pause) All right. In 1994, Youth Villages decided to focus on a home-based model to help children struggling to overcome serious emotional or behavior challenges. Since then, they have seen remarkable results, with large numbers of kids integrating successfully into their communities while being served in a more cost-effective way. For that reason, Youth Villages can now be found in 11 states and the District of Columbia. Imagine if we could help every child with these challenges reintegrate into their community? Youth Villages tells us it's possible.
These organizations show that innovation is about learning, changing and improving; they are enterprising in their use of service and volunteerism, and they are driving real results. Whether it's turning around schools that are failing our kids, engaging our seniors in promoting healthier lives for their peers, or preserving America's great outdoors – service and innovation are integral to solving our national challenges.
The message I bring to you today is this: our success as a nation depends now more than ever on YOU. Your work to transform individual lives and communities is vital to finding new and innovative ways to meet our country's most pressing challenges. The solutions you are developing in your communities can be used to strengthen, reform and support our schools; help us bring quality, affordable health care to everyone; build a sustainable energy future; and ensure economic recovery, economic opportunity and economic growth in every community in the country.
To achieve at that scale, we have to come together – the public, private, nonprofit, academic, and philanthropic communities. We need to share best practices, share new ideas, and invest in what works. And we need to support a new generation of leaders who can build on the great progress we have made together.
Let me leave you with one example. Ashley Sloan where are you? Please stand up and let us see you! [Pause] Ashley engaged in voluntary service on an 'Alternative Spring Break' while at the University of Kansas. That experience motivated her to join AmeriCorps NCCC as a team leader.
One year after her NCCC experience ended, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast and Ashley felt like she had to do something. She joined the St. Bernard Project -- an innovative organization that gets people back into their homes -- when it was in its nascent stages. And four years later, Ashley's still committed – managing dozens of other AmeriCorps members and celebrating their 280th house built.
As the Gulf Coast and other communities across the country continue to face daunting challenges, we are called to serve and can take heart that tens of thousands of AmeriCorps members and millions of volunteers are working alongside Ashley to provide vital services and needed support.
You are the leaders who inspire people like Ashley Sloan and provide them with the concrete tools to make a difference. That's why even in the face of incredible obstacles, I know that with leaders like all of you, bright days are ahead. We can do it. We can succeed. We can share talent and expertise and resolve to build an even stronger America. Thank you and thank you for all you do.
And now, I'd like to turn your attention to a video from our fearless leader in service, the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.
Thank you so very much for your attention, and have a wonderful conference!Learn more about Service, , Additional Issues
Partnerships for Regional Energy Innovation in Omaha, NebraskaPosted byon June 17, 2010 at 4:00 PM EST
The administration has made it a priority to encourage partnerships across all sectors of the economy in order to address the greatest challenges facing our nation. We recognize that government must play a convening and coordinating role in catalyzing progress on the President's agenda, especially around efforts to forge effective relationships with organizations of all types. This is particularly important in the area of energy, where new advancements are critical for our nation's future. In his State of the Union address earlier this year, President Barack Obama stated "We need to encourage American innovation … [and] no area is more ripe for such innovation than energy."
In supporting this priority, the administration convened a regional conference on energy innovation yesterday in Omaha, Nebraska, focused on connecting entrepreneurs and small enterprise with representatives from organizations across sectors. This conference was a unique partnership between the City of Omaha, Gallup, the Kauffman Foundation, and the Department of Energy. Nearly two hundred attendees met at Gallup University's Omaha Campus to discuss issues ranging from regional gap funding and human capital needs, to collaboration and the early adoption of energy innovation.
This meeting continued conversations that began in Washington D.C. on May 7, hosted by a variety of offices in the White House, and led by Undersecretary of Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy, Dr. Kristina Johnson. Undersecretary Johnson presented the opening address at Omaha's convening, where she discussed the importance of increasing our nation's use of clean energy and the necessity of diversifying our energy use portfolios. Ted Zoller, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, presented the afternoon keynote remarks on regional energy innovation clusters and the interconnectivity of energy markets and sector leaders. Finally, a series of deep dive sessions and issue reporting concluded the conference.
In attendance were representatives from local, regional, and national organizations, federal representation from the White House National Economic Council and Domestic Policy Council, theU.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Defense, and theU.S. Small Business Administration, as well as representation from the United Nations. Additionally, local government was represented by the Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle, State Senators Haar and Mello, and the Nebraska Commissioner of Labor, Catherine Lang.
During the conference, organizations in each sector identified their role in addressing both near-term and long-term energy challenges, stressing the necessity of integrated and coordinated solutions. Private corporations and venture capital firms expressed their interest in providing business acumen to start-up enterprises. They also indicated that the focus of organizational advancement needs to be directed toward human capital development, not simply increases of financial capital into the market.
Academia, including the Universities of Nebraska, Minnesota, Chicago, North Carolina Chapel Hill, and Arizona State, as well as regional community colleges, discussed its role in addressing the human capital needs identified by the attendees, and described its ability to create environments that spur constant innovation and business start-up opportunities. Philanthropic foundations such as the Kauffman Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the A.E. Casey Foundation identified their strengths in working strategically with multiple stakeholders to address organizational needs, and their role in supplying risk capital to support energy innovation and human capital development. Finally, non-profits, including the Nebraska Community Foundation, the Innovation Accelerator, and the Center for Rural Affairs explained their role in working with local communities. Through their on-the-ground experience and relationships, they are able to identify local needs and interventions best supported by the other sectors represented at the conference.
The day concluded with a reception co-convened by the Meeting of the Minds and the engineering firm HDR. Overall, yesterday's conference presented a unique cross-section of perspectives, provided an atmosphere for new cross-sector partnerships, and made progress for the administration's ongoing efforts to advance dialogue and understanding between all sectors of the economy.Learn more about Economy, Innovations, Energy and Environment, Rural, , Technology

United We Serve: Let's Read, Let's MovePosted byon June 8, 2010 at 1:48 PM EST
Today the First Lady of the United States and Patrick Corvington, CEO of the Corporation of National and Community Service, launched the summer phase of the President and First's Lady call to service, United We Serve: Let's Read. Let's Move. This summer our goal is to find opportunities for Americans to use service as a tool to promote physical activity, healthy eating and to prevent losing academic ground during the summer. This call to service will encourage Americans to help fight something called the "summer reading gap" - where kids who don't read during the summer can lose months of educational progress - and childhood obesity. It will culminate the week of September 6, 2010 through September 11, 2010. The Serve America Act, passed with broad bipartisan support last year, made September 11th a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
This year, in building off the First Lady's Let's Move Initiative, we are encouraging organizations and communities to participate through ten easy projects, including building and rehabbing playgrounds, clearing walking trails, holding community sports tournaments, and many others. These project ideas and helpful resources will be posted at Serve.gov.
And in her remarks, the First Lady emphasized your role in making this summer a success:
"We'll be asking individuals and community organizations, corporations, foundations and government to come together and devote their time and energy to helping folks in need… The idea here is very simple: and that's to do everything we can to help our kids stay active and healthy – and to keep them learning – all summer long."- First Lady Michelle Obama.
Additionally, this year's initiative will be highlighting the importance of getting kids to read during the summer, led by the Department of Education last year. Our goal this summer is to connect citizens from diverse communities, backgrounds, and perspectives, providing easily accessible service opportunities to fit their needs, and engage them in service that can lead to a lifetime of participation.
United We Serve is a nationwide initiative to create a sustained, collaborative, and focused effort to utilize service as a solution to the most difficult challenges facing our communities and to make service a way of life for all Americans. The online home of United We Serve is Serve.gov, so head there to sign up and find the organization that makes the most sense for you. While we are encouraging people to get involved in Let's Read, Let's Move oriented projects, any impactful service in your communities that addresses the pressing challenge is encouraged, so if there are other opportunities for service, get involved in whatever way you can.
It is now time to get organized and find your community's way to be a part of United We Serve. Go to Serve.gov to post this summer's volunteer opportunities in your community. Also, don't forget to stay tuned for the 2010 National Conference on Volunteering and Service, in New York City, June 28-30, 2010.

For what it's worth…three guys in the locker room at the gym this morning were talking about the new translation.
They seemed to like it.
It was better than hearing their usual talk about politics.
And so it goes.

Classic clip: Clough labels Polish goalkeeper a clown
England's qualifying campaign for the 1974 World Cup was a disaster and results in their group meant the Three Lions had to beat Poland at Wembley.
Before the match, outspoken ITV Sport pundit Brian Clough labelled Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski 'a clown' in his analysis. Tomaszewski went on to have a superb game and deny England the victory they desperately needed with a string of fine saves in a 1-1 draw.
Despite Tomaszewski's man of the match performance Clough stuck to his guns and continued to label him 'a clown', to the annoyance of fellow pundit Derek Dougan, but to the amusement of viewers.
Poland v England is live on ITV1 and ITV.com from 19:30 on Tuesday 16th October.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: High on Clearwire
Click here for an archive of Cramer's "Mad Money" recaps.
Craig McCaw, the "greatest moneymaker" in the telecom sector, is coming out with an initial public offering next week that market players should try to get a piece of, Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Thursday.
He likes Clearwire, which is set to come public on the Nasdaq under the symbol CLWR, not only because it has a great technology but also because he is convinced by the "great man" behind the company.McCaw has an "incredible track record," and history shows that putting money into his ventures has made people mad money, Cramer said. McCaw can recognize a good new technology early on, he said. And with Clearwire -- his "next big show" -- McCaw sees a promising future for WiMax, the company's technology. Although some of his ventures have been disappointing, Cramer said that even one of his biggest failures could have made people a fortune if they had been careful about profit-taking.

Getting Started With Quantum GIS
James Gray continues his review of desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) applications with an introduction to the concepts needed to get started with the user-friendly, open-source Quantum GIS.
Going Deeper into GIS: an Introduction to QGIS
If you've tinkered around with GoogleEarth, you know how much fun it can be to work with geospatial data. Whenever I need a good diversion, I fire up GoogleEarth to float above the skyscrapers of Manhattan or to see if they've built anything new in the neighborhood where I grew up.
To take things a step further and gain a new level of control with geospatial information - where you're the chef who concocts the whole stew - dive into GIS, or geographic information systems. Not only will a GIS make you feel like you have the whole world in your hands, but you will probably be able to do something extremely useful with it for your work or private life.
Incidentally, though I will discuss many basic concepts, if you are new to GIS, you may want to read my earlier, broader introduction to GIS, which can be found here.
The purpose of the article at hand is to give newbies to GIS some useful background before getting started with Quantum GIS, or QGIS, one of the more advanced, comprehensive, user-friendly desktop GIS system in the open-source world. While QGIS has an excellent documentation, those who are new to GIS might find the terminology a bit stilted and missing some information. This is because the authors of the documentation assume that you are already familiar with GIS, and you're coming to QGIS to find an alternative. I, on the other hand, will assume that you have never used a GIS before.
Installing QGIS
QGIS has a useful, comprehensive Web site with plenty of resources for you to chew on, which you'll find here. You'll find a wiki, help forums, loads of documentation and, of course, the application itself. The download page offers versions for Mac OS X, Windows, and several options for Linux users: source version, Debian, Ubuntu Gutsy and openSUSE.
Just so you know you're doing it right, the QGIS GUI should like like this
Before we both do any damage, though, let's review some of the concepts we need to use QGIS with confidence.
What Do I Do With a GIS?
Whenever I tell a lay person what GIS is, I generally tell them it involves "mapping with a computer". While this description is a bit oversimplistic, it captures the broad purpose of GIS. Here is how the QGIS folks describe GIS:
A [GIS] is a collection of software that allows you to create, query and analyse geospatial data. Geospatial data refers to information about the geographic location of an entity. This often involves the use of a geographic coordinate, like a latitude or longitude value. Spatial data is another commonly used term, as are: geographic data, GIS data, map data, location data, coordinate data and spatial geometry data.
I would further distill the above by saying that, by applying the power of the computer, one can use a GIS to pull in any kind of geographic information and then find relationships among that information, and display it how you wish.
This geographic information we are working with in a GIS consists of two elements, namely spatial features and attribute data. Examples of spatial features might include streets, rivers or land cover. In other words, any feature you might find on a map. Meanwhile, attribute data describes the characteristics of the spatial features and is stored in a database within the GIS. For example, most of those streets have names and lengths; and the land-cover types have names and areas associated with them. In the land-use case, a GIS might store categories such as high-density urban, low-density urban, cropland, forest, etc., which one could then query easily.
Now that we know what a GIS can do, we should spend some time explore how a GIS works with data.
Peel Back the Layers
Your road map would think you were completely loco if you commanded it to "just show me the rivers and mountains, please", or "hey you, map, flip the county boundaries on and off." On the other hand, because a GIS portrays data in similar groupings of geographic elements, called layers, your computer will follow your command and not label you 'loopy'. Some examples of layers are countries, cities, rivers, specific buildings, and oceans. A GIS allows you to control which layers are displayed on your screen at any time.
Layers can consist of two types, namely features and surfaces. In our above list, the layers with countries, cities, rivers and specific buildings are feature-based; oceans are one single, continuous expanse, and are thus a surface.
How a GIS Does Data: Vector vs. Raster
The hefty challenge for a GIS is to portray our lovely yet complex world accurately yet rapidly - and without the need for a supercomputer! There are two 'tricks', or methods, a GIS uses to bring the create a digital representation of Earth's features to your desktop.
The first method is using vector data. As complicated as the world can be, a GIS can represent any geographical object using three geometric elements - i.e. points, lines and polygons. Small stuff like community centers and traffic lights can be portrayed as points. Things like rivers and pipelines are really just glorified lines, so they can be shown as such. Finally, nearly everything else, such as a state park, though it might be oddly shaped, is finite and contained in boundaries, making it a polygon at the end of the day. Broadly speaking, then, the vector format is analogous to traditional maps, where the world is abstracted with symbology, and precision is very important.
The second method is raster data. Raster data is used to visually portray Earth's characteristics that have no shape, including including measurements like ocean depth, forest cover type, elevation and annual rainfall. A raster is a matrix of same-sized square cells, each representing a unit of surface area on the planet, e.g. 100 square meters. For instance, we could go back to the ocean we discussed earlier as a surface. Each cell contains a depth value, which can in turn be displayed logically with varying color values - e.g. the deeper the water, the darker the color. Some image types you will encounter include GeoTIFFs, Erdas Imagine Images, GRASS AIGs and USGS Digital Elevation Models
Some common types of raster-based imagery are satellite images and aerial photos. In these two types of raster imagery, the value of each cell is a measurement of light that is reflected off of the Earth's surface. Particular ranges of these values can signify specific land-cover or vegetation types.
Spatial Data Formats in GIS
As you splash around in the world of GIS, you will also encounter a plethora of spatial file formats. If you have ever used the application ArcGIS from ESRI, you are probably familiar with geodatabases and coverages, two of the most common spatial file formats in proprietary GIS. These two formats allow one to store more than one feature class - i.e. groups of points, lines or polygons - in a single file. The geodatabase is the newer, more advanced of the two formats, enabling more advanced relationships among the different feature classes by using a so-called "spatial reference system". A geodatabase also builds on the existing features of relational databases.
Of these two more advanced spatial data formats only coverages are usable in QGIS but not geodatabases. In addition, in QGIS, we can utilize ESRI shapefile, which are plentiful in online data repositories and a sort of 'standard' since they have been around a long time. In fact, shapefiles are the standard format for ESRI's ArcView, which is the company's previous generation of GIS applications. Essentially a shapefile is a set of files with vector-based location and attribute data, which can be represented in a GIS application.
QGIS also supports some other file formats, such as MapInfo and PostGIS. More on those in future articles.
Some Hardcore Cartography: Map Projections and Coordinate Systems
Two other important concepts, which are as critical to any cartographic endeavor as to GIS, are map projections and coordinate systems.
Remember the big, flat world map you had in your 4th grade classroom? The one with Greenland bigger than Africa? That map is an ideal illustration of what happens when you depict a round object such as the earth onto a flat map. Converting a 3-D globe onto a 2-D map is called a map projection.
In a GIS, you need to consider the projection because any map you view or create is essentially flat like a paper map. Thus map concept applies to both situations!
In a map projection, you cannot avoid distortion with regard to depicting spatial data. You have to live with distortions in a map's shape, area, distance or direction. (So sorry to break the news!) Reducing distortion in some of the properties will only increase it in others. Our flat wall map with Greenland on steroids illustrates this conundrum nicely. That classic map probably utilized the famous and ubiquitous Mercator projection, which maintains accurate direction but clearly blows it regarding area up near both poles where the lines of latitiude stretch upwards like Silly Putty. At the same time, take note that near the equator, the area-related distortion is less pronounced. This observation gives weight to the important idea that the projection you choose greatly affects the accuracy of your analysis in a GIS. In future articles, we will discuss how to choose the best projection for your needs given your geographic focus and what kinds of analysis you will perform.
Just as important as the map projection is the coordinate system. A coordinate system is the Cartesian system of x- and y-axes that a GIS uses to define locations on a map. This is opposed to the latitude and longitude system that defines location on a sphere.
In order to be able to define points on the earth with a GIS, you must first determine what your earth looks like. The cartographic geeks call the earth's shape an "oblate spheroid", meaning it is flatter on the top and bottom (at the poles) and bulging around the middle. Besides this general shape, there are other bumps and bulges to consider.
To the rescue are the various options to choose for the spheroid and datum of your GIS project. The spheriod is the model of the shape and size of the earth; some common ones are Clarke 1866 and GRS 80. Meanwhile, a datum is a set of control points, whose locations and geometric relationships have been determined via measurement or calculation. A datum also defines the orientation and origin of the lines of latitude and longitude. The NAD27 datum accompanies the Clarke 1886 spheriod mentioned above; the NAD83 datum goes with the GRS 80 spheroid.
Enough Theory Already, Let's Get Some Vector Data
At this point we have enough GIS 'theory' to know what we're doing and start a project. In this article, I'll show you how to locate some vector data in the form of an ESRI shapefile and get it loaded for display. In subsequent articles, we'll manipulate and query the vector-based data, as well as work with raster data.
The QIS project is kind enough to supply a sample data set, which you can download here. Once you've downloaded the data set, follow these steps to load a shapefile:
1. There are four icons with plus signs. Click on the one furthest to the left that is labeled "Add vector layer".
2. At the dialogue box you will encounter five different shapefiles, namely Alaska, Canada, Lakes, Majrivers and Russia. Let's open the Alaska shapefile by choosing alaska.shp.
Note that each shapefile in turn consists of at least four subfiles with the suffixes .shp (containing features), .sbn (spatial index), .dbf (containing attributes) and .shx (shape index). The shapefiles are missing the projection files, which would be labeled .prj.
This is what your resulting shapefile should look like, a simple outline, i.e. a polygon, of the state of Alaska.
Notice how the shapefile layer shows up on the left side of QGIS, in the area called the "map legend". Meanwhile, the simple outline map of Alaska shows up on the right side in what is called the "map view". You are able to turn the layer, called "alaska" on and off with the checkbox next to its label. The map legend acts like a control center for managing all of your layers. If you want to delete a layer, simply right-click on it and select "remove".
Theory to Practice, Practice, Practice
In this article I covered many of the concepts that underpin any GIS, including the application QGIS. While this information exists in pieces in books and on the Internet, it is not summarized concisely in a single place. Now that we've discussed concepts such as layers, vectors, rasters, file formats (e.g. shapefiles, coverages, GeoTIFFs), projections and coordinate systems in an introductory manner, we are ready to harness the power of QGIS to do some fun and fascinating work with geospatial data. This series on open-source GIS will continue in the coming weeks. Good luck and have fun!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Please listen to the words I have heard clients say to themselves about their bodies:
"You are fat, disgusting."
"Look at those arms, those breasts, those jowlls."
"Food is evil and will make you fat and ugly."
"No one is ever going to want to be with you."
"You don't deserve anything."
"You lazy stupid shit."
"Better to stay home, where people can't see you."
One woman looked at herself and said, "You ugly, stupid, worthless, fat bitch. What is wrong with you that you can't lose a few pounds?" with such ferocity that I was momentarily shocked, as if seeing the first flesh-and-blood image of war after thinking of the horror only in terms of statistics.
Truly hearing these words, would you be inclined to suggest new diet programs and exercise strategies, or would you be moved to stop the violence and assess the damage first? Please, dear readers, be kind to yourselves and those around you who suffer from body shame and struggle with their weight.

Mueller Water Products Reports Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Results
Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE: MWA) today reported net sales of $251.5 million and a net loss of $109.8 million ($0.70 per diluted share) for the fiscal 2012 second quarter ended March 31, 2012, the net loss due almost entirely to the sale of its U.S. Pipe business. On April 1, 2012, the Company sold U.S. Pipe for $89.8 million in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, and reimbursement for certain potential liabilities estimated at $10.2 million. U.S. Pipe's operating results have been reclassified as discontinued operations, and its assets and liabilities have been reclassified as items held for sale, for all periods presented.
Summarized consolidated results of continuing operations for the 2012 second quarter compared to the 2011 second quarter results are:
- Net sales for the 2012 second quarter increased 6.8 percent to $251.5 million from $235.5 million for the 2011 second quarter.
- Operating income for the 2012 second quarter increased to $10.6 million from $9.8 million for the 2011 second quarter. Adjusted operating income for the 2012 second quarter increased to $11.5 million from $10.9 million for the 2011 second quarter.
- Adjusted net loss per share for the 2012 second quarter improved to $0.01 from $0.02 for the 2011 second quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the 2012 second quarter of $26.7 million was essentially flat with adjusted EBITDA for the 2011 second quarter.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced the redemption of $22.5 million in principal amount of its 8.75 percent Senior Unsecured Notes on May 18, 2012. The Company also repaid $48.0 million that was outstanding at March 31, 2012 under its asset based lending agreement.
"Since our last conference call, we have taken several significant steps to strengthen the company," said Gregory E. Hyland, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Mueller Water Products. "We completed the divestiture of U.S. Pipe and reduced our total outstanding debt and net debt leverage. The divestiture of U.S. Pipe enables us to focus on Mueller Co.'s higher-margin base business, as well as on our newer technology businesses - Mueller Systems and Echologics.

Fitness Guru Richard Simmons: Obamas 'Rejected Me Totally'
By April Neale Nov 29, 2013, 23:34 GMT
Fitness Guru Richard Simmons tells the Huffington Post: Obamas \'Rejected Me Totally\'
Richard Simmons is Ameria's senior fitness expert, the leotard clad personality has graced TV and persoal appearances for years. Now it seems he is on the outs with the White House.
Fitness Guru Richard Simmons tells the Huffington Post: Obamas 'Rejected Me Totally'
Simmons said that he wanted to contribute to First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign, but that the Obamas "rejected" him.
"I love Michelle Obama," Simmons said in an interview on HuffPost Live. "I wanted to meet them, both of them. They have rejected me totally."
"I'm just not their set of sheets," said Simmons when asked why he thinks the Obamas haven't been more friendly to him.
When asked if it was his flamboyance that put off the Obamas, "Well that's an ugly question," said Simmons. "I'm not extremely a political person, and I do think the president and Lady Obama are doing a good job, but I think I can help," he added.
