text: Alumnae in Training Program Manager Sarah Ward recently interviewed Dr. Nancy Clark '90, a psychotherapist, author, international lecturer, medical intuitive and presently a candidate for ND (Naturopathic Doctor). Seminars on many subjects as well as her 125-hour course and clinic in "Medical Intuition and Energy Healing Certification" have been taught around the world for twenty years. Her latest book is The Energy Healer's Guide: an Integrative Medicine Program for Self Development and Teaching. Why did you choose Alverno College? "It had been many years since I received my AB at a junior college. Alverno accepted some of my credits and allowed me to test out of some subjects. I felt the instructors and staff also appreciated my world experiences." What does being an Alverno Alumna mean to you? "I continue to be proud when reading of the accomplishments plus the forward thinking and teaching of Alverno. The greatest asset for me personally was becoming comfortable speaking in front of groups. I did not know at the time that this was the direction my life would take me. The instructors take time to become personally involved with each of their students. Students are given a sense that they make a difference. The weakest are encouraged to develop their strengths – and I have seen that they do!" What do you like most about the career path you have chosen? It is infinitely creative! While I was at Alverno, I thought I would be a graphics designer and in fact, worked two semesters with two graphics companies. It was lonely work as I would sit in a cubicle and work on various projects. The only time I spoke with others was when I had a problem. It became apparent that I enjoyed being with and helping people. That awareness pushed me forward to my graduate studies. My life has been a series of miracles, being at the right place at the right time and meeting the right people. I met a PhD/MD in Canada and was invited to work on projects in post communist countries. That was the beginning of speaking at international psychology conferences. From there I was introduced to people in Western Europe and began speaking in countries there. Next I was invited to the Middle East. For the past ten years I have taught and seen private clients for three months of the year in Japan. My next goal is to get the seminars I teach available online. What is your greatest accomplishment? 1) Speaking at the United Nations in New York several times (NGO) 2) Speaking at a world peace conference in Budapest, Hungary with 1,000 people in the audience. What is something people don't know about you? I started teen camps in post communist countries because the parents of the teens had no sense of identity. During the communist regime, everyone was treated the same. A street sweeper received the same salary as a brain surgeon. As a result, parents did not know how to give their children the inspirational awareness of who they are. The camps were truly transformational and letters from parents confirmed the positive changes in their children. What did you do immediately after graduation? I began my graduate studies, started a couple of groups, began teaching and traveling around the world. What is your favorite campus memory? I have many but I will relate an amusing one. A group of non-traditional age students always sat together at a long table for lunch. There were usually at least sixteen of us plus one girl about nineteen years old. After a couple of months of her presence at our table, I finally asked her why she sat with us. Her response was that she loved to hear about how things were in the olden days. Any advice for future Alverno alumni? Be open! Take every opportunity that presents itself. Do not imagine that you will have one career for life. I believe those days are gone forever. Jobs are now morphing into what future humanity requires. As an Alverno Alum, what advantages do you believe and Alverno education has over other universities? I look back with fond memories of the testing system. It creates an equality among women (and men). The old male competitive system is becoming obsolete. We learned to develop unique ideas and present them succinctly. As a psychotherapist, I know from experience that people learn who they are by speaking. Alverno gives its students four developmental years for redefining the individual. As an Alverno Alum, what advice would you give a young woman who is considering attending Alverno? Compare Alverno with the large state universities and I think you will discover as I did that there is no comparison. You will never be just another number. You can develop your unique skills and express them in various projects. You will greet life's challenges with confidence and greater understanding. |


text: Linde and Bomin—a marine fuels specialist based in Hamburg, Germany—have announced that they are forming a 50–50 joint venture company to build an infrastructure for LNG in the maritime sector in Europe. The initial focus of the new entity, which will be located in Hamburg, will be the key ports in Northwestern Europe's Emission Control Areas, where LNG is expected to help ship operators significantly reduce their sulfur-related emissions. "The use of LNG as a solution for meeting the increasingly strict regulations requires a network of LNG storage facilities to be set up for the bunkering of vessels in main European harbors," Linde says. "The new joint venture will set out to establish an LNG supply chain and to provide reliable, safe and environmentally friendly fuel to ship owners and operators." Global demand for LNG is expected to increase by more than 10 percent per year, Linde says, "making it the fastest growing energy product in the world." In 2015, some 70 vessels are expected to run on LNG in the Nordic region. According to a study by the Danish Maritime Authority, the consumption potential of LNG is estimated to reach approximately 4 million tons by 2020.

An Occupy Wall Street-inspired comics anthology, created by pros contributing their pay to support the occupiers through winter.
About this project
* Special Final 24 Hours Addition: Limited-Edition Guy Fawkes T-Shirt *
We thought it would be cool to add a special, limited edition shirt because we so fell in love with Guy Denning's gorgeous illustration of Guy Fawkes-masked protesters and to commemorate V For Vendetta creators Alan Moore & David Lloyd both joining this project after having such an impact on the protests. Also, it enables us to get you a piece of Occupy Comics in the coming weeks while we work on the comics coming next year.
* Final 24 Hours: 5 New Items added at $150 pledge level *
Several of you have reached out asking that we add more items to the sold-out $150 pledge level. We just worked it out to add 5 more!
(The $150 reward level includes a piece of Original Art from Occupy Comics and has been sold out for a while now.)
What is OCCUPY COMICS and what makes it so special?
Unless you're living under a rock, you've heard about the Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread across the country and around the world. We believe this is an incredibly unique movement that transcends the usual partisan gridlock and could have a profound affect on all our futures. Even if it dissolves completely, it has changed the conversation in the country and around the world in a way that deserves to be remembered.
Ok, but what's this book?
This book is intended to be a time capsule of the passions and emotions driving the movement. We are comic book & graphic novel artists and writers who've been inspired by the movement and hope to tell the stories of the people who are out there putting themselves at risk for an idea. What is that idea? Most of the media will tell you the idea is a vague and befuddled mess, but movements don't coalesce around vague, befuddled messes. We hope that through the medium of comics we can share some of the ideas and experiences driving this movement.
Does it actually support the protest movement?
YES! This isn't *just* about art and time capsules, it's also about direct action.
All of the writers, artists, business executives, and the publisher are being paid to produce this book... and they ALL are donating 100% of their revenue (not profits, but ALL monies they receive) to the occupiers. They want to support the movement through the winter by providing warm clothes, heaters and bathrooms if possible, and other amenities. For a more detailed breakdown on how the money will flow from pledges to production of the book to the protesters, visit www.occupycomics.com and check out the blueprint.

So what's the plan exactly?
By funding this project on Kickstarter, we can pay all the creators and executives upfront. They're pros so if they get paid, they deliver... but it will take a long time--months, at least.
However, the creators and executives will immediately be donating their payments to the protests... so even though the book won't be done until mid to late 2012, the creators and executives will be able to donate to the protesters during Fall 2011--when the movement needs the $$ most.
Deliveries will start flowing in from the creators throughout 2012, so as they come in we'll compile them into ongoing digital comics and limited edition print comics. Backers receive these as part of their pledges, but they will also be sold and all revenue from those sales will also flow to the protesters.
When all the art and stories are delivered, we will collect the entire opus into a limited edition anthology. Again, many of these anthologies will go direct to backers of the project and any revenue from sale of the anthology will flow to the protesters.
What if the Occupy Movement dissolves before all the money is spent?
Since the money is all being paid to the creators and executives and they are all agreeing to donate their payments to the Occupy protesters, they will have to make their own decisions of what to do with the money in the event the Occupy Movement dissolves before they can donate. Hopefully everyone will allocate their shares in a way that retains the spirit of the project, but we can't guarantee that.
Why should I pledge for this project?
There are many reasons to pledge for this project. It's the first project of its kind to bring together artists and writers inspired to create change by creating art together and utilizing that art to financially support a social protest movement. But maybe you don't care about that... it'll still be an awesome comic anthology by some of your favorite artists and writers. And even if you don't care, maybe the Occupy movement will make history and you can take credit for supporting it decades from now. Who knows?
[about the video: music by Atari Teenage Riot ("Black Flags" instr.), protester portrait by Molly Crabapple, "We Are All In This Together" by Molly Crabapple & John Leavitt, "Occupy Comics" by Anna Wieszczyk featuring Soledad from Godkiller, video edited by Matt Pizzolo.]
The final book will be a cross between a graphic novel anthology and an art book. Some of the creators are contributing a standalone piece of art in the form of a one-page pin-up style piece. Others are contributing 2-5 page short comic stories. It's a case by case basis, and the final book will be as varied and diverse as the creators participating.
Yes! All pledges above $20 get THANK YOUs on the website, in the digital comics, in the paper comics, AND in the anthology book. We stay thankful no matter how much you pledge!
Yes. If your pledge entitles you to a paper comic book or an anthology book, you also will receive the digital version of that book as soon as it's available. You won't have to wait!
Yes, but we would super appreciate it if you could add $5 for shipping outside the US. That would be awesome. Thanks!
Right, there's no automated solution. What you can do is select one pledge and add the cost of the other pledge, then message me saying what you want. The technical term for this is "double awesome."
The single issues have multiple purposes: (a) they allow us to do a rolling release schedule of offering content as it is delivered without having to wait for all the slackers before anything sees print, (b) this could potentially create positive cash flow that can make smaller but consistent donations to the protesters, (c) the single issues (especially digital) will enable us to be more inclusive of up and coming artists whose work might not fit in the collected book, (d) single issues allow people to pledge at much lower entry costs than the book so we are able to include more people... plus the pledge amount for each format is designed with the unit cost in mind so as to generate as much money as possible for donations. Just think about the pledge amount versus average SRP for these formats: pledgers are contributing $5 for a digital comic, $15 for a floppy comic, $50 for a hardcover book... 5 bucks may not be much but there's no marginal cost... as opposed to the nightmarish marginal cost of a hardcover book. So no matter what format you pledge to buy, you can rest assured we will maximize the good done with those dollars.
We intend to start releasing the single issues in roughly May 2012 and the collected book in roughly Sept 2012.
The current plan is to print them on-demand unless we have enough pledges that it's more cost effective to do a traditional print run. If we elect to go to the direct market, we have various options: we can partner with an established publisher who'll eat the print costs but may or may not break even and pass along profits, or Halo-8 can distribute through its deal with Diamond and wouldn't take a cut of profits but we'd have to pay the print costs. So again it comes down to how many we're printing and if we determine it's more beneficial for us to hand off the print costs and send more Kickstarter money to the protesters or if it's worth risking some of the Kickstarter money to pursue revenue. We're fairly pragmatic about this stuff. Also, we may do smaller profile issues on-demand but issues with really high profile talent or stories to the direct market... we can be as flexible as we want.
A lot of people are trying to draw comparisons to what went down with Womanthology and we're cognizant of some of the challenges that project faced. We're not going to enter into any deals now before we know how big this project will grow. We're comfortable doing it at the current scale and we're also aware there's the chance it could explode exponentially. Since we're secure in our abilities to produce and distribute the project, we're going to keep all our options open and not commit to any particular deal, partnership, or pipeline until we're confident we have the right information to make the best choices.
Our goal is to keep the hard costs as low as possible. Our team is balancing two goals: (a) to create a time capsule in the form of an enduring piece of art in a hard format rather than a more ephemeral digital format, (b) to financially support the protesters. Printing a hardcover book is expensive. In fact, it's way more expensive than you'd think. So we have to be really careful about how the money is spent. Currently (and this is subject to change), the plan is to limit the hardcover books to pledges & pre-orders. We are going to see how many hardcover books are pledged for here, and then we are going to open up a non-Kickstarter pre-order space to purchase the book for a limited time (largely for international audiences). When the Kickstarter and pre-order window are done, that is the final number of hardcover books we will print. This is important because if we print overages that ship to retail with 50% off wholesale prices and traditional retailer-return policies, the bookkeeping will get too muddied--and, because of the high cost of printing the hardcover, we could risk eating into the donation pool. We need to establish a clear per-piece cost to each book that we can deduct against the pledge amount or purchase price. Until we know how many we're printing (and thus the cost, which is based largely on volume) we won't know the precise hard costs. We will likely keep the content in print as a softcover trade so long as we know its publication can at least be self sustainable, although we hope it will continue to generate funds for the protesters.
Each page will be valued against the number of pages in the book, and then the creators working together on a particular page will share that page's value. So for argument's sake, say the book is 100 pages and the donation pool we end up with is $10,000. The per page value is $100. If one creator makes a single page pinup, $100 is allocated. If a writer and an artist collaborate on a 3 page short, $150 is allocated to each of them.
Due in part to my love of playing craps, I am opting not to be the direct recipient of the funds. This Kickstarter is linked to the Amazon Payments account of Patrick Meaney (director of Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods & Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts, partner in Respect Films LLC which has financed and produced several projects through Kickstarter). Patrick is pretty skinny, so we suspect he'll get tagged if he tries to sneak across the border with cash duct-taped to his legs. Also, not that I don't trust Patrick implicitly (et tu, Brute), but Respect Films' revenue on their two documentaries flows through Halo-8 to them. So we have a check & balance here going both ways. Patrick and Respect will be assisting me in allocating the funds. If Halo-8 winds up publishing or distributing the book, that will enable better transparency than if Halo-8 or I were personally holding the funds.
There is a tax burden here, because we're essentially generating revenue on the book and related merchandise even though pledges are being made prior to the book's production. It would be easy enough to re-invest revenue and keep the project from being profitable, but in order for the money to eventually flow to the protesters it has to be spent or gifted and that's no longer a production cost. So someone in the cash flow chain will have to eat the taxes when the money is gifted. The workaround is to donate to the protesters through a 501(c)3 not-for-profit company, but the problem with that is we give up control of how the money is spent. Since the donations are being made on behalf of the creators (not the pledgers, who technically in the eyes of the IRS are buying stuff), this is an issue we're working through with the creators in an ongoing discussion. But you should be aware that most likely either part of your pledge will go to Uncle Sam or the donation will flow through an established not-for-profit (or a mix of both). And certainly we'll keep everyone posted on the truth & consequences of all this.
Again, the donations are being allocated on behalf of the creators. Since Patrick lives in NY, he may want his share going to NY. Since I used to work at Children's Television Workshop, I may decide my share should buy Elmo some thermal underwear... well, no, but you get the point. The way things are trending, creators seem to want to get the most bang for the buck by aggregating our shares into larger amounts that can do a lot of good for one specific part of the movement. But the creators retain the right to assign their shares to personally relevant sectors of the movement rather than aggregating with others. Just to reiterate, by pledging you're technically supporting the production of the book and receiving some good(s) and value in return... the ultimate donation to the protesters is being made by the creators with the compensation they receive from creating art & story for the book.
The funding goal is the *minimum* amount we need to be certain we'll cover the hard costs and also enable the creators to donate enough money to make it worth their efforts. When we pass the funding goal, we can add more creators and/or each creator can be paid more so more money will ultimately be donated to the protesters. All the money past the fundraising minimum will go to either (a) growing the scale of the project (time capsule goal), or (b) paying the creators more so they can donate more (protester-donations goal). If our Kickstarter goes above double the minimum, we will begin introducing more ambitious plans for what we can do... but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

The Dirty Little Secrets Nobody Talks About in Gaining Velocity for Pitchers….
How to Become a More Explosive, Athletic, & Powerful Pitcher
Dear Baseball Enthusiast,
In visiting with the Former Major League Pitcher and Pitching Coach, Brent Strom, we asked him "What are professional scouts looking for in baseball players?" His response was immediate…almost without thought… "The first thing we look for in a pitcher AND a position player is 'speed…arm speed…bat speed…foot speed. For pitchers in particular, we are looking for a live, dynamic, loose, whip-like arm action. Bottom line, if the young man's arm isn't explosive…even if he is great at getting people out…he will never, ever get on our radar screen."
The Truth Sometimes Sounds Harsh…But if You're Smart…
ESPN Recently Reported One Major League Franchise Had 62 Arm Surgeries on their Pitching Staff in about a 4 year span.
If you are interested in minimizing the risk of arm injury for you or your young athlete, read on……
Sixty-two (62) arm surgeries in 4 years! Not arm injuries, but arm surgeries. Unbelievable? Most professional organizations have about 65 to 75 pitchers in their entire organization. On average, almost every pitcher had a surgery in their organization in that 4 year span.
Is this an epidemic?..........looking at those numbers, one would think so. I've heard that many of the Major League organizations have similar numbers.
What we need to do is change the way training is done in baseball and break the chain. The arm injury rate in all of baseball is alarming and astronomical. All the way from the professional ranks down to the youth baseball player.
Why?.......Keep reading.
Boy, Did I Get Lucky Running Across this Gem of Baseball Pitching Wisdom Written By Legendary Hall of Fame Pitcher Christy Mathewson in 1912
If it wasn't for a search I was doing around the country for a rare golf book, I may not ever have come across this incredible book, which is filled with amazing lessons, and stories of how baseball was played when the national pastime was still in its infancy.
In the early 1900's, Hall of Fame pitcher, Christy Mathewson, was asked to write a book about his insights into the game of baseball from a major league pitcher's point of view. You see, Matty, as he was know to his friends and foes, was a college student, a great writer, and he kept journals and notes about his experiences playing major league baseball for the New York Giants. In 1912, he did just that. Published this amazing collection of stories, insights, and lessons from one of the best pitchers the world has ever seen. The book is called Pitching in a Pinch. It is also known as Baseball from the Inside.
We All Want It with Passion!
Introducing our newest addition to the family of performance enhancement DVD's Pure Power Training for Pitchers and Hitters.
Dear baseball enthusiasts,
I can't think of many baseball players that want to throw the ball harder or hit the ball further.
Power, speed, velocity. It's what the game is made of and that's the latest standard in baseball.
If you watch the different levels of the game from little league, the high school baseball, through the different levels of college baseball, and finally, the many levels of professional baseball, the biggest difference in the game? It's the speed of the game.
The speed of the game is usually what weeds out the competition. The young baseball players that can handle the change of speed of the game move on.
The ones who can't? They go home.
Phiten Titanium Necklaces and Bracelets with Major League Baseball (MLB) logos are now available for Pre-Release Ordering!
Phiten USA has made available to their wholesalers (BioForce Baseball) the ability to purchase these limited supplied necklaces with each MLB team's colors and logos.
Dear fellow baseball fan!
A few months ago I was approached by a Phiten USA representative to sell the very popular Phiten Titanium sports necklaces and bracelets to our customers. I asked a few of our customers what they thought and the response was amazing.
My two boys both have been wearing the necklaces for a few years. I think more for the baseball fashion since Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and other major league baseball (MLB) players have been wearing the titanium necklaces.
I do say, they enjoy wearing them as do a lot of the kids in our academy and ballparks around town.

The scale up or scale down of the process variables in a surface aerator requires information about the shear rate prevailing in the system. In fact, the performance of surface aerator depends upon the shear rate. Shear rate affects the mass transfer operation needed by the surface aerator. Theoretical analysis of shear rate suggests a nonlinear behavior with rotational speed of the impeller, which has been shown in the present work. Present work also shows that in a geometrically similar system of baffled surface aerator, shear rate can be used as a governing parameter for scaling up or down the mass transfer phenomena.

We were busy that rainy afternoon, all business actually, trying to work on a friend's bike – his first road bike – with a wall of noise around us. And there were about 6-7 guys.. I am not sure. This was a long time ago in the early 90's. The owner of the pieces that would become the bici just wouldn't shut up. He had purchased a DeBernardi steel frame and fork, very nicely lugged with Columbus pipes, but he was nervous that we would screw up the build. Or that I would screw up the build, seeing that I was the only one with half-capable mechanical skills that would actually put the rig together. From the group sitting there, trying to hack it without a proper stand, the whole ensemble looked like that Rembrandt painting where medical students huddle over an open cadaver, including the bad lighting and low tech tools. So he kept intruding, literally sticking his hand in the process, distracting me with the harried demands of a nervous new bike owner. The other guys piled on: two of them didn't even enjoy the sport, one was a triathlete and the others added so many extra hands that if you turned the sound off, the excessive gesticulating looked like a heated soccer argument in sign-language. It eventually took a while to assemble the bike, especially because Hélio (the owner) had particular, almost capricious requests. He wanted it to work like bzzzz. Bzzzz? What does that mean? That'd be the noise, or lack thereof, that results when the chain moves through the chain rings, zigzagging around the pulleys and coming on the other side. In sum: it had to sound smooth, efficient, purposeful and, well, quiet.
Back in the day, as in 20 years ago, stuff was simpler. Nostalgia doesn't apply here as I do prefer modern machines. Have you ever tried to maintain a Campy Delta set of calipers? Well, good luck, never mind finding a 3.5mm Allen wrench to work with. But to their credit, parts back then were actually mostly fuss-free: a 7 or 8 speed Regina freewheel that was screwed to a threaded rear hub; derailleurs and gear controls were very straightforward in that as long as the chain wasn't skipping, it was as good as it was gonna get. There was no index shifting (there was but it sucked), the levers were screwed to the down tube and the chain was thick. If you were cutting edge you'd sport a set of Simplex Retro Friction levers, those that are smooth when you shifted to lighter gears, but offered resistance when throwing the chain down the sprockets. Charly Mottet and Marc Madiot had them on their bikes back in the RMO days, so they had extra cool points (man I'm old). You could potentially mix parts and the setup wouldn't complain, except due to neglect. And I carried that standard of sonic efficiency through my years as a competitive Joe Racer and amateur mechanic, making sure that every single technical development had to be SHUSH in order to pass muster.
Naturally, the more time I spent with the bike, the better I got as a mechanic and rider. And that resulted in a synergistic sense that was sharpened through years of close relationship. The feedback became more organic, some sounds are prefaced by ticks or clicks that translate to "there's something off going on here". A well-trained ear can potentially discern several micro irregularities in a similar way an Eskimo can detect multiple shades of ice (or at least I suppose they could). The point is, as we add more gears, goodies, parts, electronic doo-dads, one can get detached from the experience, neglecting the dynamic altogether. How many times have you been on a ride and some hapless roadie shows up on a filthy rig that is so noisy you wonder if he/she has imprisoned a small animal inside the bottom bracket? "Hey, there's a bird inside your rear hub or something". We all have that friend, right? Recently at a training race I had an issue with a piece of leaf that somehow wrapped around a spoke on the front wheel. I felt something wrong but couldn't really hear it because a thick, horse-sized junior nearby was torturing his bike with each pedal stroke. His bicycle was protesting loudly and for a moment the distraction was welcome. Which is my point here: for most pros (and some elite-level amateurs) the bike becomes a commodity, going fast requires a lot of work, so cancelling out unwelcome static becomes a priority. That can be a good skill when you're changing diapers while the wife is asking questions from another room and the cat is screaming because it hasn't been fed yet. But for those of us who didn't get to be pros (or elite racers), we have to resort to paying attention, good wrenching abilities and developing extra spider-senses.
My buddy, Hélio, although he has always been an awful mechanic, knew to appreciate a well-running bici. You may want to ignore your boss, the neighbor's dog or the nagging partner, that's all fine and sometimes necessary. But please promise me you'll always listen to your bike.

Those of us that live in rural areas of Kentucky understand the McCain/Palin
code words when they speak of Barack Obama and we understand what McCain/Palin
are trying to do. They (McCain/Palin) accuse Barack Obama of being the a
redistributioner of wealth, when in fact those they are speaking to have
received more than their share of our wealth
Click here and
here to see what I mean.
They (McCain/Palin) use code words like terrorist and "who is the real
Barack Obama" to excite their base and get their right wing racist bigots to go
the extra mile for the cause and those of us that remember the
M.L.K. and
R.F.K. assassinations are outraged because we know where this kind of
rhetoric takes us and I suggest the McCain/Palin ticket does to.
It's a sad day when the McCain/Palin ticket inspires people like
Ashley Todd,
Nathan Johnson, Shawn Robert Adolf, Tharin Gartrell,
Paul Schlesselman and Daniel Cowart but progressive folks like me that live
in rural areas understand what's going on and we are happy that the real right
wing agenda is finally showing it's self for what it really is, hate and
I understand that every Republican is not bad, but I also understand that
the word Republican has become synonymous with racism, division, hate and that's
a shame and that's why I've put together the graphic and video below because
I've had enough of the phony McCain/Palin Republican hate agenda!

Motorola/Lineo Announcement
Our upcoming October issue will focus on Linux and embedded systems, and much excitement currently surrounds this arena. Notably, the rumors concerning a partnership between Motorola and the newly named Lineo (formerly, Caldera Thin Clients). On August 5, I participated in a conference call with Noel Lesniak, the Business Manager of Linux Telecom Platforms for the Motorola Computer Group; Brian Sparks, the CEO of Lineo; and Ransom Love, the CEO of Caldera Systems. Here's what they had to say.
On Monday, August 9, the Motorola Computer Group is announcing a unified Linux strategy that provides our OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers with a broad selection of Linux based platforms, open source software, service and support, training and integration services. In support of this broad initiative, we're collaborating with two leaders in the Linux community, Lineo and Caldera Systems. As always, MCG is committed to providing our customers with the solutions they need to help them succeed in today's global marketplace. We believe that combined with the right hardware and support, the Linux operating environment is ready for embedded design-ins and deployments in the markets we serve: telecommunications, imaging and industrial automatons. We believe that the reliability, performance and flexibility of Linux as well as an open availability of source code will speed time to market and help reduce development costs for our OEM customers.
When deciding to enter the Linux game, we looked for companies who knew Linux and its environment and whose strategies complemented our own. Lineo, for example, has focused on embedded software products and the OEM markets for many years. They have experience with Linux and the Open Source community and they have an embedded Linux strategy that is complementary to MCG's embedded focus and our Linux strategy. Lineo's focus on customized embedded Linux also fits with our traditional focus of partnering with independent software vendors who develop technology for our embedded market. In addition to embedded Linux, we see a need for a full systems distribution of Linux for our system customers. Caldera Systems has focused on Linux business solutions and has significant experience with the Open Source community and the Linux market.
Caldera Systems has a strong strategy to further develop Linux along with the Open Source community for the mission-critical segment of the high-availability server market. MCG and Caldera Systems are collaborating in bringing high-availability features to the Linux solutions set on Motorola's compact PCI-based systems. On Monday, we are also introducing a network appliance product, the SLX Series, aimed at Internet, intranet and extranet networking applications and the EMS Series for telecommunications and industrial networking applications. The network appliance product is a new family of Linux-based embedded platforms for Internet networking applications such as web access, web security, web caching and virtual private networks. It is aimed at a telecom OEM, which is building network solutions for the growing number of Internet service providers, government and business organizations, work groups and telecommuters requiring cost-effective access to the Internet.
SLX enables these OEMs to deliver low-cost, easy-to-use, reliable and secure Internet connectivity quickly. With the configuration flexibility of the SLX, MCG will provide OEM-specific configurations of the platform to meet each of our OEMs' unique product and marketing needs. The SLX Series will be showcased next week at Linux World Expo. In one demonstration, it will run a live satellite Internet link using satellite access software from Helius. Satellites are ideal for applications such as IP Multicast and remote Internet access. The SLX Series with high performance and low cost is ideal for these demanding satellite services. The other SLX demonstration will feature the instant network out-of-the-box capability of software from Network Concierge. When used with a standard browser and configuration wizard, such as that provided by Network Concierge, the SLX Series eliminates the complexity of integrating a stack of networking and server equipment from multiple vendors.
Also to be announced next week is MCG's EMS Series for Linux. This product is the first in MCG's new line of Intel-based embedded system platforms integrating the Linux operating system. This product can be used to power a variety of telecommunications, Internet and industrial automation applications. This highly scalable and customizable platform helps enable OEMs to deliver cost-effective systems designed to meet an end user's specifications.
OpenLinux from Caldera and Lineo is obviously a large part of these product announcements in our Linux strategy. Working with these companies, we plan to take the lead and expand the reach of Linux into embedded and high-availability markets that require rugged, reliable and scalable products.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

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.

Easy Monica. I think Caught has a legitimate point, i.e. the whole point of entering a route into the MP database is so that folks can get the information that they need to climb the route....and that type of information is not included in your description.

The crux is a section of 5.11A slab that's a little run out, but over a shiny, retrofitted bolt Retrofitted as in added where no bolt existed before.... or as a replacement for the original bolt in the same position??? |
By tarallo Oct 17, 2014 |
climbed the route in August i linked the two pitches of the sea of knobs (70m rope) as suggested. on the second pitch of the sea i missed the bolt ( i climbed slightly on the left from the belay 5.8 for me) showed on the topo,30 /35 m of runout, and arrived at the two bolts.the two bolts were linked by a old sling and as soon as i touched the sling one bolt came off, so i decided to climb back as i did not want to do the move to go left that seemed hard protected by only one 1/4 inch rusty bolt. i returned this october with a new bolt and i did the same thing as the previous time,but this time on the second pitch of the sea i climbed a little bit on the right from the belay and i found the bolt.climbing this way i found the pitch harder than the previous time 5.9(5.8) as indicated on the topo. i replaced the old bolt with a new 8mm inox fix. my feeling was right the move was hard ,no way 5.9 !!,for me 10b !! at least . the following pitch was very nice and we finished the route,the last pitch not so hard as the previuos pitch. at the end great route the 11a not so hard. p.s. i was not able to use the hole of the missing bolt as inside there was half of the broken bolt. ciao and goog climbing |

Gamification is one of those words you're going to hate by the end of the year (especially if, like me, you are a linguistic pedant and simply find it ugly beyond belief.

Coughlan, De la Rosa, Alonso shared data obtained from Stepney
A number of McLaren employees - including Pedro de la Rosa and Fernando Alonso - knew about the teams unauthorised possession of confidential Ferrari information, and some intended to use that information in the teams own testing.
That was among the findings of the FIAs World Motor Sport Council (WMSC), which published its full judgement on Friday afternoon following its decision to strip McLaren of their 2007 constructors' points and fine the team $100 million.
The findings contradict previous claims from McLaren that the Ferrari data had not spread beyond suspended chief designer Mike Coughlan, who allegedly received it from former Ferrari engineer Nigel Stepney.
In its judgement, the Council cites evidence of ongoing communications between Coughlan and Stepney, as well as between Coughlan and McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa, who the FIA claim requested and received secret Ferrari information from a source which he knew to be illegitimate and shared that information with world champion Fernando Alonso.
Emails between Coughlan, de la Rosa and Alonso formed part of the new evidence that prompted Thursdays second hearing into the affair. Julys original hearing had found McLaren in breach of the International Sporting Code, but had not sanctioned the team due to lack of evidence.
The emails covered topics such as the weight distribution and braking system of Ferraris car, a flexible rear wing design and a gas used by the Italian team to inflate its tyres. They also suggested that Stepney had fed Coughlan real-time information on Ferraris pit stop strategy in this years Australian Grand Prix.
According to the Council, The e-mails show unequivocally that both Mr. Alonso and Mr. de la Rosa received confidential Ferrari information via Coughlan; that both drivers knew that this information was confidential Ferrari information and that both knew that the information was being received by Coughlan from Stepney.. In submitting their evidence, de la Rosa and Alonso were granted immunity from any personal sanctions.
The other new evidence related to communications between Coughlan and Stepney, which, according to reports from the Italian police, was of a far greater level than the Council had previously thought, leading it to conclude that Coughlan was in receipt of a flow of confidential Ferrari information from Stepney.
According to the Council, the new evidence makes clear that:
"...Coughlan had more information than previously appreciated and was receiving information in a systematic manner over a period of months;
- the information has been disseminated, at least to some degree (e.g. to Mr. de la Rosa and Mr. Alonso), within the McLaren team;
- the information being disseminated within the McLaren team included not only highly sensitive technical information but also secret information regarding Ferraris sporting strategy;
- Mr de la Rosa, in the performance of his functions at McLaren, requested and received secret Ferrari information from a source which he knew to be illegitimate and expressly stated that the purpose of his request was to run tests in the simulator;
- the secret information in question was shared with Mr. Alonso;
- there was a clear intention on the part of a number of McLaren personnel to use some of the Ferrari confidential information in its own testing. If this was not in fact carried into effect it was only because there were technical reasons not to do so;
- Coughlans role within McLaren (as now understood by the WMSC) put him in a position in which his knowledge of the secret Ferrari information would have influenced him in the performance of his duties."
The Council concluded that some degree of sporting advantage was obtained, though it may forever be impossible to quantify that advantage in concrete terms.

I bought the unscented version (and it is scent-free, once it dries).
I have used this a few times and I'll probably be tossing it in the trash as soon as I can get to the store for a different product.
I have naturally curly hair, and I use hairspray when I style my hair with rollers or curling irons-- I use the hairspray to hold the "styled" curls in place.
The hold is o.k., but it makes my hair dull and also takes away the softness-- my hair feels very dry and straw-like after using this. And by the end of the day, it starts to weigh down my curls and my hair starts to look (and feel) like it needs a wash.
Bottom line, this product reminds me of the hairsprays I used back in the 1980s. I will be shopping for something more modern ASAP.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very nice product. Has good hold but not outstanding hold. The scent is very mild, it seems to last only during application, so I guess i would consider it an unscented product. Hair feels nice - not too dry or stiff or crusty. Doesn't seem to take away the shine from hair. I thought this was a little expensive for an Alberto product, but the bottle is lasting a long time and overall is much better than cheaper sprays. I don't feel the need to try other sprays now, I"m satisfied with this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Even though it claims to be unscented, this has a nice clean scent. I like the spray- it goes on "dry", which I like. It dries quickly, too. Good product- very affordable.Hold is good, without being sticky. Thumbs up!
This is a decent hairspray for the price. Had more holding power than I was expecting, but it definitely isn't the best out there. It lasts for a good amount of time too. The smell is nice and fresh. I might buy again if I'm low on money and really need a hairspray.

People who have visited Bud's factories have mentioned getting to try all sorts of beers not available to the public, experimental, craft beer offerings, even ales. It's nothing new. And to me it's a good thing. And I'm sure it is for the brewstaff as well, it probably get's tiring brewing under such exacting conditions to achieve perfection consistently in what they do. They need creative outlets too. That's why AHB supports an employee homebrewers club as well, they were given so much hops from the companyclub one year that they shared them with non member homebrewers as well, even some folks on here got them. I see this as a good thing. I'd love to taste some of those. And as to the goose island glasses....AHB owns Goose island. The employees probably get all sorts of cool beer swag from all the of the companies holdings. The folks who work there, especially the brewers are no more or less passionate about beer than we are. Hence making a career out of it. Just because we're not big fans of the beer, doesn't mean they don't make an excellent and consistent product on a huge scales, and it doesn't mean that the staff is not anymore or less creative. The interesting thing to me is why anyone would think this is a bad thing...
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Why the insults and hate? I think it's a great idea, to try to encourage their professionals to branch out a little. They were limited by their yeast strain, of course, and had to appeal to the masses but they are excellent brewmasters and just about the best of the best. And of course they'd be in Goose Island glasses. They do own Goose Island, after all.
Sounds pretty awesome to me. If I could work for Budweiser I would in a second too.
Darn you, or maybe thank you, for reminding me...saw this at the liquor store last night and forgot to grab a box.
Drinking: Russian Imperial Stout Drinking: Pre-prohibition Lager In-process: Another batch of Pre-prohibition Lager Next up: Scottish Wee Heavy
Posted it in a 100% positive way. I am very happy that AHB is straying from there old perfected style and branching off into something new. The glasses are great, for me it was the reason i thought about how they are moving towards the craft scene.
Personally I vowed a while ago never to support Budweiser with my money, and I'd only try something like this if someone else had purchased it. I applaud them for being able to make such a consistant product through the years, but I just can't come to terms with the way they run their business, like how they buy up breweries just for the name and abandon the original breweries and/or integrity. Case and point: Rolling Rock, Stella, now Goose Island. Maybe one day they'll be back on my good side, but even then I'd still rather spend $16 on a 4-pack of amazing craft brew before I spend $16 on a 24-pack of their product. :/
Yeah, they are here in MN. Didn't examine the goods long enough to determine what all varieties there were...sort of assuming there is one of each in the 12-pack. Plan was to circle back around after hitting the cooler section but then I got distracted by the tequilas and never did circle back. Good thing my GF works up the road where it was (hasn't quite made it to our small town store yet) so she'll grab me a box on the way home tonight.

BREWERTON, NY – August 29, 2011(By Dave Medler) – It all comes down to one race this Friday, September 2nd to crown the 2011 Tracey Road Equipment Big Block Modified Track Champion at the Brewerton Speedway.
At the start of the 2011 season Stewart Friesen wasn't sure if he would be a weekly competitor at the "D-Shaped Dirt Demon". Right out the box Friesen picked up a win, and has been a strong presence on a weekly basis behind the wheel of his M.R Burdick, No.85, TEO. Going into Friday he has a slim 12 point over Matt Sheppard lead going into the final point's race.
Last Friday night, Matt Sheppard put his XTREME Lubricants, No.9s, Bicknell in victory lane for the fourth time this season. Sheppard has related his team has really hit on something during the last half of the season and has one of the fastest cars when he unloads his hauler on Friday nights.
Sitting just 17 points out of the points lead is Jimmy Phelps behind the wheel of his J&B Installations, No.99j, Troyer. The defending track champion has one win in the 2011 season but keeps racking up top finishes to be in the fight on the final point's night.
With 11 different feature winners at the Brewerton Speedway, it's no guarantee that Friesen, Sheppard or Phelps will end up in victory lane. It all could come down to a top-finish and staying out of trouble to determine the Tracey Road Equipment Big Block Modified Champion.
Also on the race card Friday night will be the Nationwide Insurance IMCA Modifieds, Beaver River Distributions ESDCA Mod Lites and Metalico Four Cylinder Super Stocks.
Before or after the races stop into The Waterfront and Calypso Cay Restaurants for great food, drinks and atmosphere as they are located within sight distance of the Brewerton Speedway located on the Oswego County side of the Brewerton Bridge on Route 11. Remember to support those who support racing.
With hockey season just around the corner, the Syracuse Crunch will have a presence at the speedway with their promotional team and mascot. The speedway is pleased to continue their long relationship with the Crunch as many race fans and race teams spend their winter months at Crunch games. Go towww.syracusecrunch.com to learn more about the upcoming season and ticket information.
Adult grandstand admission will be $12 with everyone 18 years old and younger admitted free to the grandstand. Gates will open at 5:30 with racing at 7:30.
The countdown is on for the 19th Annual Hurricane 100 presented by SUNY Canton on Thursday night October 6th. With the race paying at least $7,500 to the winner and for the first time including Big Block Modifieds, look for the Brewerton regulars to defend their turf against what promises to be a stout field of invaders.
