Park Overview
Squak Mountain State Park is a 1,545-acre, day-use park just outside of Issaquah and a short 15-minute drive from Seattle. The forested park features miles of trails in wilderness solitude for both equestrians and hikers alike.
Squak Mountain State Park was created in 1972 when the Bullitt family donated 590 acres near the top of the mountain to the state. The donation included a stipulation that the land must remain in its natural state. Several other parcels of land were acquired over the years. Traces of early land users are readily found throughout the park, from remnants of old coal mining rail trails to overgrown logging roads. Massive old-growth stumps dot the forest alongside the trails. And the Bullitt fireplace, a popular park destination, is all that remains at the site of the Bullitt's summer home.
The name Squak comes from an early Anglicization of the Native American word "Asquowk," and was also given to the nearby valley, creek and town.
Park Features
This forested park, a wilderness with glimpses of Issaquah below, has miles of winding trails alongside bubbling creeks and narrow ravines. There are several trail loop options on this 2,024-foot-high mountain. With multi-use trails and a natural area, equestrians and hikers alike have plenty to explore.
Interpretive opportunities
The park features a self-guided interpretive walk along the .3-mile Pretzel Tree Trail adjacent to the main trailhead. The trail illustrates the adventures of Field Mouse as he meets local forest creatures and discovers their importance in the ecosystem on his search for the Pretzel Tree.
Issaquah, WA 98027
The park is located in Issaquah, Wash. in King County.
Thep ark is located just south of Issaquah. From I-90, take exit 17. Head south on Front Street, which turns into Issaquah-Hobart Road. Drive 4.5 miles, then turn right on S.E. May Valley Road. Drive 1.5 miles, and turn right into the park.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today offered mosques and other Muslim institutions a model "Law Enforcement Engagement Policy."
According to CAIR, revelations by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of intelligence gathering by FBI at "outreach" events prompted the issuance of the policy suggestions.
CAIR also offered questions that community leadership can and should ask of law enforcement agents who are conducting community outreach.
The model policy is intended to ensure that Muslims play an appropriate role in preventing criminal activity in their neighborhoods, while ensuring that congregants are protected from possible abusive law enforcement practices.
"CAIR is committed to upholding longstanding constitutional and legal limits on overly-broad law enforcement efforts that target ethnic or religious minorities," said CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor. "Equally, we believe it is the civic and religious duty of every American Muslim to work with law enforcement to protect our nation."
Saylor added: "President Reagan's signature phrase, 'Trust, but verify,' is an excellent principle for our community's relations with law enforcement. One can never overstate the positive contributions of law enforcement, but we must always remain vigilant for individuals, policies or practices that cross legal or constitutional boundaries."
CAIR's Model Law Enforcement Engagement Policy is as follows:
1. Purpose
a. This policy outlines our position regarding law enforcement community outreach efforts. Islamic tradition and belief require Muslims to be a benefit to humanity and to prevent harm to humanity. In part, this tradition and belief is expressed by this facility and its leadership believing that it is both a religious and civic obligation to contribute to crime prevention and public safety efforts.
2. Policy
a. No matter what the state of our relationship with law enforcement is, it is our religious and civic duty to contribute to crime prevention and public safety efforts in our community.
b. This [masjid, Islamic center, community center] believes strongly in the Constitution and its legal protections. Community outreach with law enforcement is for the purpose of enhancing mutual understanding, building strong relationships and informing our congregants of the services provided by law enforcement. Community outreach is not an intelligence collection tool.
c. Each law enforcement agent (LEA) who engages with our facility will be asked to adhere to the following guidelines:
i. When you enter our facility or engage with our leadership or congregants for outreach purposes, you are representing to us that you are not engaged in intelligence collection.
ii. When you enter our facility, please inform management.
iii. When you enter our facility, please have official business cards available on request.
iv. When you enter our facility or engage with our leadership or congregants for outreach purposes, you are representing to us that you will not create intelligence files based on your visit. This means that, without the explicit agreement of the individuals concerned, you will not record their demographic information or their political or religious beliefs or affiliations. You will also not record license plates or anything else of that nature.
v. Any notes and contact information generated from an outreach meeting with this facility should be kept separate from operational and intelligence databases.
3. As long as the leadership of this facility receives reasonable assurances that the above guidelines will be honored, we will engage in community outreach programs with law enforcement agents that contribute to crime prevention and public safety.
a. Examples of these programs are citizen's academies, citizen observer programs, town halls and crime-stoppers.
Questions leadership of mosques and other Muslim institutions can and should ask:
1. What is the purpose of doing outreach to this mosque?
2. Are community institutions and houses of worship for other faiths in the area being assigned the same level of outreach? If not, why not?
3. Do you report only to your community outreach department? If not, to what other components of your agency do you report?
CAIR is billed as America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its stated mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

Madvillainy is the debut album by American hip hop duo Madvillain, a group consisting of MF Doom (MC) and Madlib (producer). It was released on March 23, 2004 on Stones Throw Records to overwhelmingly positive reviews. It received universal acclaim from music critics, based on an aggregate score of 93/100 from Metacritic.[1]
Album information[edit]
Madvillainy was praised for its unique and innovative approach to hip hop; short tracks, abstract lyrics, few choruses and a sound generally unfriendly to commercial radio. Despite this, the album achieved moderate commercial success, peaking at number 179 on the US Billboard 200, and attracted much attention from media outlets not usually covering hip hop music, including The New Yorker.
Four videos were filmed for the album: "All Caps" (directed by James Reitano), "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Accordion" (both directed by Andrew Gura), and "Shadows of Tomorrow" (directed by System D-128). "All Caps" and "Rhinestone Cowboy" appear on the DVD Stones Throw 101 along with a hidden easter egg video for "Shadows Of Tomorrow" as a hidden feature. An impromptu video for "Accordion" was filmed in 2004 but not released until 2008's In Living the True Gods DVD.
At least two tracks on Madvillainy ("Rhinestone Cowboy", "Strange Ways") were produced using a portable turntable, a cassette deck and a Boss SP303 sampler[2] by Madlib in Brazil. The first music to be publicly debuted from Madvillainy was the song "America's Most Blunted" which was played by Madlib at the Red Bull Music Academy in Brazil, November 2002.
An instrumental version of the album was released only in vinyl format and digitally through various online stores, with the tracks "The Illest Villains", "Bistro", "Sickfit", "Do Not Fire!", and "Supervillain Theme" being omitted. Two remix EPs of Madvillainy were released on Stones Throw. The remixes were done by Four Tet and Koushik.

In 2009, the album was selected in HipHopDX.com's Top 10 Albums of the '00s.[13] Spin (p. 66) - Ranked number 17 in Spin's 40 Best Albums of the Year - "Madlib's production — thick, woozy slabs of beatnik bass — keeps things hotter than an underground volcano lair."
Rhapsody - Ranked number 13 on Rhapsody's 100 Best Albums of the Decade list and number 1 on the Hip-Hop's Best Albums of the Decade list. "The collaboration between underground hip-hop's most adventurous producer (Madlib) and its most treasured lyricist (MF DOOM), Madvillainy is full of dark alleys and trapdoors. DOOM's lines are extended vocabulary workouts and take repeated listens to fully unpack, yet there are times when the emcee peers through the Dada-ist carnival of words and speaks directly and honestly. Madlib's production, meanwhile, is pure pastiche, a smorgasbord of world music, classic soul and outsider music. Snippets of childhood recordings rub against Sun Ra and Sonny Rollins. It's a dark, funny and strange album."[14][15]
Pitchfork ranked the album at number 13 in their list of the top 100 albums of 2000-04, commenting, "While Madlib's special power played tricks on your ears-- a sample you were sure was the sound of cars rolling by on the street might sound like the hiss of a record on a different day ("Rainbows")-- Doom unfurled his clever lyrics like a roll of sod on earth... and the album curved in on itself like a two-way mirror."[16] Pitchfork more recently ranked it as the 25th best album of the 2000s.[17]

- Clean your shoes before binning. Block in your base colors. To get the color of purple I wanted, I mixed rose and azalea.Dry brush accent colors over the base colors if desired. I used yellow over the center of orange, pink over purple, and so on. With a pencil eraser dipped in your paints, make a handful of polka dots. Allow to dry.
- Use a black fabric marker to outline the polka dots and anything else you want to outline.
- Add accent designs here and there if you like.
- You can use the fabric markers for shading if desired. Here I'm using blue over green.
- Immediately after marking the area to be shaded, rub quickly to blend.
- I love glitter, so I couldn't resist adding some opal Beads in a Bottle on the polka dots. As a finishing touch, I tore strips of fabric and layered them over the tongue with the Aleene's Fabric Fusion Peel and Stick Sheets. I used narrow pieces of the Peel and Stick so that the torn edges of the fabric will continue to fray over time.The tongues could also be painted, but I've been looking for an excuse to use this fabulous fabric!

About 30 environment officials, military police and police burned some 20 wooden homes to the ground in Oddar Meanchey province's Anlong Veng district yesterday after villagers refused to obey a court decision ordering 400 families to make way for a conservation area, villagers and rights workers said.
Families cut out of a government plan to give residents of Phnom Penh's Boeung Kak lake their long-awaited land titles protested again yesterday in front of the offices of the local commune chief.
A land rights NGO the government suspended earlier this month for its work with families being displaced by a railway project can re-register the organization once they make a public admission of wrongdoing, an Ministry official said Sunday.
Cambodia has "a long way to go" in protecting human rights and ensuring the National Assembly effectively monitors the executive branch, UN rights envoy Surya Subedi says in his most recent report.
A government spokesman has hit back at a coalition of 10 prominent rights groups that have urged Cambodia's foreign donors to consider freezing funding if the controversial law on NGOs and association is passed in its current form.
Government officials yesterday said they were moving ahead with the draft of a controversial law aiming to regulate the country's 3,000-plus non-governmental groups and associations, after a group of international NGOs slammed the latest version.
As the creation of Cambodia's first law on trade unions enters a final phase this week, labor activists and union said the draft law as it stands is in urgent need of revision, as it would cripple unions and severely undermine collective bargaining rights.
The draft of a new drug law was sent to the National Assembly for approval yesterday and still contained controversial provisions allowing for the forced detention of drug addicts at state-run treatment centers, officials said.
A draft law intended to regulate the sale and distribution of acid in the Kingdom was expected to be approved by the council of Minister today, an official at the Interior Ministry said yesterday.
More than 150 villagers from Kampong Cham province's Chamkar Leu district gathered at Freedom Park in Phnom Penh yesterday morning to protest against a plan to relocate them from three villages they say they have lived in since 1979 to make way for a rubber plantation.

Double room on the right: The fridge in the room makes noise during the night, and also it does some kind of a small "explosion sound" that disturbed me (of course it was not a real explosion).Another noise was the glass of the window: because is really old and thin, it vibrate a lot and could disturb your sleep . The toilet is dangerous because is small (no problem with this) and in the middle of the it there is a step, I don't even think is even legal in terms of security. Rest was ok

Hello experts,
My environment is BOE Server and client 4.0 JCO connection to 7.01.08 BW server. Business Objects patch level 2.11.
I have created a custom Hierarchy using the custom navigation path in the business layer of my relational universe. two of the dimensions I am using (Week and Month) are derived using functions of a date dimension. i.e. Month(date_field) and Week(date_field) Every time I try to use drill down in a WEBi report on this navigation path it errors out with the following:
Database Error: [Data Federator Driver] [Server] The optimizer failed to produce an executable plan. Internal Message: 'Query cannot be optimized: Optimizer Exception'' (IES 10901) (WIS 10901).
If I remove the two dimensions my drill down works fine. Is this a known issue or expected behavior? Are calculated levels of a custom hierarchy not allowed?
I appreciate your help with this.
This is a really good question, and not one I have seen before.
This Multi Source technology is actually Data Federator stuff from XI3.1 DF, and their EIM forum is here: Data Services and Data Quality
However, that audience wouldn't know about overlaying a Universe ..
Have you gone via a Support Message? This would certainly be a good 'request for information' from product teams.
Can these calculated/derived objects actually be used 'as is' on their own? (without being in the custom hierarchy)
Edited by: Henry Banks on Mar 2, 2012 12:04 PM
Thanks for your reply. I will pursue it as a direct SAP support message.
To answer your question: yes, the objects are fine on their own. It's when they are added to the custom navigation path that I see the error when I attempt to drill down.

During the summer, we always spend a disproportionate time in the car. Driving to camps, driving for day trips, driving on errands. And the kids always want the music on Radio Disney. It dawned on me how different their childhoods are from mine.
I grew up with princesses and fairy tales. They are growing up with a square sponge that lives in a pineapple and cartoon characters with really stupid parents.
I grew up where good always triumphed over evil. They are growing up with a conflicted teenage girl superstar conflicted child who doesn't quite fit in either world in which she lives.
I grew up with Jungle Book, Parent Trap, The Shaggy Dog and Dr. Doolittle. They are growing up with — oh, look — Jungle Book, Parent Trap, The Shaggy Dog and Dr. Doolittle. But I'm telling you, Eddie Murphy can't hold a candle to Rex Harrison and Tim Allen isn't nearly as suave as Fred MacMurray. And besides, everybody knows it was the boy that got turned into a dog, not the dad.
In my day….
Mickey Mouse was out.
Donald Duck was in.
Popeye and his spinach were huge.
Dora The Explorer is out.
Jonas Bros are in.
Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter are huge.
But where the differences strike me the most are in the lyrics I hear on the radio.
Some day my prince will come
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know (Cinderella)
They hear;
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor, get your armor
Why does love always feel like a battlefield. (Jordin Spark)
I sang:
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife (Baloo in Jungle Book)
They sing:
I make the most of all the stress
I try to live without regrets
But I'm about to break a sweat
I'm freakin' out
It's like a poison in my brain
It's like a fog that blurs the scene
It's like a vine you can't untangle
I'm freakin' out
Everytime I turn around
Something don't feel right
I might be paranoid. (Jonas Brothers)
I loved:
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! (Mary Poppins)
They love:
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around (Taylor Swift)
And I wonder why my children seem so much more sophisticated than I did when I was a kid. Oh, yeah. I can be as cool as any modern mom. But secretly, I wish my kids knew heroes really do come on white horses, good always triumphs over evil and stupidity doesn't pay. Is that too much to ask?

Rep. Cory Gardner and cooperation
Posted By DP Opinion On June 24, 2014 @ 5:02 pm In Letters | No Comments
Am I the only person who finds Rep. Cory Gardner's chutzpah in his "cooperation" campaign advertisement to be the height of hypocrisy? In it, Gardner and his daughter talk about how he will bring cooperation to the U.S. Senate. This is the same person who has had an opportunity to bring cooperation to the U.S. House of Representatives and has joined in the most obstructionist Congress on record. Does he really believe that if he moves to the other side of Congress, he will immediately become different? Are Colorado voters as stupid as he thinks they are? I'm not.

Fire puts stores out of business

The fire that heavily damaged a local business Tuesday morning also put two adjoining businesses out of commission, at least temporarily.
Fire gutted T-Bone's Sports Bar & Grill, 2415 General Hays Road, one of several businesses in Centennial Center just off Vine Street.
The complex houses numerous businesses, and while firefighters were able to keep the fire contained to T-Bone's, others received smoke damage.
Two of those were Centennial Salon, owned by Rulene Brown, and Heartland Crafts and Merle Norman Studio, owned by Melissa Bonczynski.
Bonczynski, who also sells scrapbooking materials at her business, was busy Thursday sorting inventory.
Firefighters broke through one of her back walls to get to T-Bone's, which led to heavy smoke damage.
While much of her bottled skin care line and cosmetics can be cleaned, Bonczynski said most of the paper scrapbooking materials would have to be thrown away.
"It's hard to say (how long her store would be closed)," Bonczynski said.
"It could be a month, or it could be several months," Bonczynski said.
Next door to the north, Brown's employees were working together, helping wherever needed.
ServiceMaster Clean has crews from Hays and Wichita on the scene, helping clean and providing storage pods in which the businesses can store inventory while they clean their buildings.
Brown and her five employees -- four hair stylists and a nail technician -- are independent and out of business until they can re-enter their building.
Reva Cox said they plan to work through the weekend with hopes of reopening sometime early next week. She said the phone has been ringing constantly of clients wanting to schedule an appointment.
"We can't work outside of a licensed facility, so we have to get back in here," Cox said of the salon. "We appreciate all the support, and we're hoping (clients) can be patient with us. We'll open as soon as we can."
Other hairstylists who work at the eight-station Centennial Salon are Linda Becker, Valerie Dohe and Jennifer Mermis. The nail technician is Rachelle Pfannenstiel.
Another business that received smoke damage was Nex-Tech, a local communications service company, which operates out of two buildings on either side of T-Bone's. Nex-Tech's south building received smoke damage, but employees were able to be relocated to the north building or to the company's Internet building downtown at 210 E. 12th.

Storm: Frontline nation – Review
Storm: Frontline Nation is loaded with strategic and tactical depth.
Storm: Frontline Nation is smack-dab in the middle. Colossai Studios' turn-based strategy game occupies the neutral zone between encyclopedic franchises such as Hearts of Iron and mainstream fare such as the Civilization series. But this captivating saga about an all-out global war in the near future is anything but a middling effort. A tremendous amount of depth and replay value are the big positives here, along with aggressive enemy artificial intelligence that turns every campaign into a war for survival.
Anyone who has experience with voluminous games of grand historical strategy, such as Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, and Victoria, will immediately know what Storm has in store for you. The main difference here is the time frame. Where those games deal with history, Storm: Frontline Nation deals with the very near future. It is January of 2012, immediately following a war that has caused oil exports from the Middle East to be virtually shut down. As a result, economies have collapsed, and big players in the USA, UK, France, Russia, and Germany are fighting over the scraps, namely oil resources in places like the North Sea and North Africa. The story campaign takes place in Europe and North Africa, where you take control of one of the big five nations noted above and deal with hundreds of conquerable provinces and cities. Victory conditions involve everything from building up an army, to sending a spy to steal research from an enemy capital, to simply building facilities like naval bases.
You can also forgo the story and go for the open campaign. This option features some 45 nations, including all of the smaller nations in the region, such as Spain, Egypt, Greece, Austria, Slovenia, and so forth. You get a ton of replay value, because every country comes with a unique range of pluses and minuses. Running Greece, for instance, is a whole lot different from running the US, so moving down requires big changes in how you conduct yourself with neighbors. Situations where you might want to throw your weight around tend not to work out so well if you have only a tiny military and not a whole lot of cash at your disposal. Some of the playable countries seem ridiculous, though. Taking over countries like Montenegro, Morocco, and Estonia is nearly pointless, because they just don't have enough power or territory (although having just two territories to look after sure does cut down on the management duties) to provide an interesting game. Choose one of them, and you're generally stuck either trying to survive onslaughts from bigger enemies or staving off boredom while watching the big guys go at it for black gold.
In campaigns, you play as the leader of an entire nation in a far-reaching game of geopolitical conquest. On the main map screen, you guide the fortunes of your country through turns that last a month of real time. This is where everything begins. Here you declare war on the Swedes, produce conventional units like tanks and planes, sneakily order up weapons of mass destruction like nukes and biological weapons, stage covert ops like assassinations, ink treaties with those nice guys in Russia, advance research levels to gain nifty new weapons, and so forth. While the sheer number of things to do is impressive, most of the options are somewhat scaled back from those in other grand strategy games. There is no massive, varied cultural tech tree as in the Civilization games, for instance. All of the tech levels earned generally just open up bigger and better ways to kill enemies, like suitcase nukes and bioweapons such as anthrax and smallpox.
The options stop well short of kitchen-sink territory. At the same time, this doesn't quite make Storm more manageable than many of its genre predecessors, largely due to a terrible tutorial system of blurry videos that walk you through the interface and some strategic and tactical features. Fully interactive tutorials would have made a big difference. Visual quality is dark and murky as well, making it hard to tell units apart at times. Audio is equally unhelpful, including a musical score that sounds like something heard over the closing credits of a straight-to-DVD action flick, and repetitive unit acknowledgements that consist of nothing but the unit name, often mispronounced. Still, at least the interface is intuitive for the most part. You have to fiddle around at times (uh, how do you build a nuclear research facility again?), although generally you can work things out in no more than a few minutes of experimentation. Story mode also provides many missions that serve as guideposts pushing you in the right direction when it comes to building your navy for eventual North Sea attacks or getting a spy over to the UK to see what it's up to, for example.

Bay View Funding offers non-traditional business financing
Bay View Funding, founded in 1985, is a finance company that services small- and medium-size businesses with commercial loans through what is known as "invoice factoring."
"We provide working capital to small- and medium-size businesses based upon their commercial accounts receivable," said Bay View Funding's Regional Sales Manager Tom Hearne. "What we do is called invoice factoring. We purchase invoices and give companies working capital based upon purchasing those invoices."
Hearne, who manages Bay View Funding's regional business in the Chicago area, has more than 15 years of experience in financial sales.
"Bay View Funding has been here in the Chicago market for the last two years, but I've been doing this for over 15 years," said Hearne. "I've been covering commercial loans for small- and medium-size businesses for a long time."
According to Hearne, Bay View Funding is primarily focused on assisting commercial, industry-specific businesses who may need invoice factoring services.
"We don't do any consumer loans, only commercial," said Hearne. "We're looking for more industry-specific customers. We're looking for trucking companies, personnel and staffing companies, manufacturing companies, and wholesalers or distributors."
Hearne said that the company offers its services to small and medium sized businesses that are in need of loan options separate from traditional bank financing.
"Our focus is on companies with revenues from $100,000 a year in sales, up to $40 to $50 million," said Hearne. "We target small- and medium-size businesses that may not qualify for traditional financing. We are an alternative solution to bank financing, acting as a secondary market for business loans."
Hearne believes that Bay View Funding's membership with the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce is necessary to increase awareness of the company in the local business community.
"I think our membership with the Joliet Chamber is mainly for name recognition, and to get our business name out there. It's for getting our business more recognition in the marketplace," said Hearne. "We're approaching $500 million in sales this year, and we're in the top 10 of privately owned factoring companies in the United States."
For more information about Bay View Funding, visit the Website at www.bayviewfunding.com, or Regional Sales Manager Tom Hearne's LinkedIn page at www.linkedin.com/in/tdhearne. Hearne can be contacted at his office at (815) 485-4300, by cellphone at (708) 860-0960, or by email at email@example.com.

EAGLE POINT, Ore. – The CDC says the West Nile Virus is spreading farther and faster this season than ever before. More than 1,100 cases have been reported in 47 states and at least 41 people have died.
No state has been hit harder by West Nile than Texas, which is why many communities are spraying pesticides from the air. Pilots are now spraying for mosquitoes over two areas of Northern California, despite objections from environmental groups.
The West Nile Virus has made its way to Southern Oregon as well. When a pool tested positive in Talent last week, officials started fogging the area for the West Nile Virus. Since then, the numbers have dropped. Vector Control officials believe the traps and fogging are working.
Although this test creates a buzz in the air, getting the virus isn't as likely as you'd think. Jackson County Vector Control officials say it's been five years since they last found an infected pool. The last time a horse or human in the state of Oregon tested positive for the virus was in 2009. If you find mosquitoes near your home, you can give Vector Control a call, but officials say all mosquitoes aren't able to carry the virus.
The disease is much more severe when found in horses. A local equine doctor strongly recommends getting your horse vaccinated. It costs about $35.00 to get your horse vaccinated. Doctors say it's the most effective way to protect your horse from getting the West Nile Virus.
Vector Control officials say it's not just out in the country near sitting water where the mosquitoes breed. Officials say drains in the city streets storing water are perfect mosquito habitats, too.

BACKGROUND: Local alterations in morphological parameters are poorly characterized in several brain regions widely implicated in schizophrenia neuropathology. METHODS: Surface-based anatomical modeling was applied to magnetic resonance data to obtain three-dimensional (3D) average anatomical maps and measures of location, shape, asymmetry, and volume for the lateral ventricles, hippocampus, amygdala, and superior temporal gyrus in schizophrenic (n = 25; 15 male) and normal subjects (n = 28; 15 male) matched for demographic variables. For all regions, intra-group variability was visualized and group differences assessed statistically to discriminate local alterations in anatomy across sex and diagnosis. RESULTS: Posterior hippocampal volumes, lengths, and widths were reduced in patients. The right amygdala showed volume increases in schizophrenia patients versus controls. Ventricular enlargements, pronounced in the left hemisphere, occurred in the superior and lateral dimensions in patients, and these effects interacted with gender. Superior horn anterior extremes, inferior horn volumes, and hippocampal asymmetries exhibited gender effects. Significant group differences were absent in superior temporal gyrus parameters. Finally, regional variability profiles differed across groups. CONCLUSIONS: Clear morphometric differences of the lateral ventricles, hippocampus, and amygdala indicate regional displacements and shape distortions in several functional systems in schizophrenia. Alterations in these structures as mapped in 3D may provide the foundation for establishing brain abnormalities not previously defined at such a local level.

text: Manuel, LFS/HLFS/CLFS scripts are back in running order. Internally the CLFS/HLFS scripts still use my bash/xsl combination to produce an output and are pretty crude. (will I live long enough to learn xsl..who knows) LFS script has been updated to accept udev-update as a valid book. We need to look at how to run ICA testing with a single makefile. Current thoughts: 1. I use an ugly trick with CLFS when building a partition using the 'boot' format instead of the chroot jail. I do a 2 stage build by exiting the makefile at the end of the temptools phase and then restarting after the reboot. 2. A cleaner method may be calling the makefile with a switch, temptools/phase1 .. chroot/bootmin/phase2. 3. Separate makefiles for the 2 stages. grb

Prep Time: 45 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Oven Temp: 400
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
For Crust:
- 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) herbes de Provence
- 6 tablespoon(s) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup(s) milk
For Filling:
- 2 pound(s) Roma tomatoes
- 2/3 cup(s) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon(s) herbes de Provence
- 2 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon(s) finely chopped fresh chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 cup(s) shredded aged Cheddar
- 1 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
- Make crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and herbes de Provence until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles small peas. Transfer to a large bowl and add milk, stirring until mixture is shaggy. Knead a few times, until dough comes together to form a ball. Divide dough into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other.
- Place larger dough half on parchment paper and cover with a second sheet. Roll out dough to create a 12-inch circle that is about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough half, rolling it out to a slightly thinner 12-inch circle. While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make filling: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place a large bowl of ice water in the sink. Use a sharp knife to carefully score a small X in the bottom of each tomato, then plunge into boiling water for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer tomatoes to ice-water bath for about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Once tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick rounds; remove seeds and set tomatoes aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and herbes de Provence; set aside.
- Remove thicker dough circle from refrigerator and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges of dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang all around. Brush dough with oil, then arrange half the tomato slices in overlapping layers on bottom. Sprinkle with half the basil and chives, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with 1 cup Cheddar. Arrange remaining tomatoes over Cheddar. Sprinkle with remaining basil and chives, season with salt and pepper, top with herbed mayonnaise, then sprinkle with remaining Cheddar. Remove remaining crust from refrigerator and place over the top of tart. Fold overhang under the edge of bottom crust and crimp edges to seal. Brush crust with butter.
- Bake until crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer tomato pie to a wire rack and let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Hi, I'm in an intro to programming class and each project that we've been assigned I've been making modules for a beer recipe program. Right now they're all pretty basic and just in the logic and algorithm phase. How would one determine what the potential FG is on a recipe? Does anyone know this formula? Also any other formulas would help me as well as I plan on maybe throwing together a complete linux compatible brewing software suite. Thanks
Too many variables influence FG. Most brewing software just does a SWAG of 25% of OG.
The potential for the FG would be based on the potential attenuation value of the yeast and the starting gravity of fermentables. This potential of course implies that there are perfect conditions for yeast growth such as temperature, oxygen, etc. I would say a formula such as: FG = SGf * YAP + SGu where: SGf is the starting gravity of fermentables. YAP is the yeast's attenuation potential. (Usually 70% - 80%) SGu is the SG of unfermentables.
Primary: Wheat Porter Secondary: Kegged: Scottish Wee Heavy Pale Ale
More detailed information on yeast attenuation can be found here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/ind...ng_Attenuation
Don't worry, be hoppy.
This is what I do, and have been very successful in predicting FG, at least for the yeast I have used so far (S04, 1056, S33, 3944, 1084, S05, 1007, 1028 and 3068): FG=1+EFF*( (1-AT*F1)*PPG1*W1 + (1-AT*F2)*PPG2*W2 + (1-AT*Fn)*PPGn*Wn ) Where: EFF=Mashing efficiency. Example 75%, enter 0.75 AT= yeast attenuation = (50+800/(T-130))/100 T=Mashing temperature (valid from 150 to 160F) F1=fermentability of grain1. For base malts=1, for dextrin or lactose = 0, for Crystal malts until 30L = 0.65, for Crystal malts above 40L = 0.5, for highly toasted malts (>120L) = 0 PPG1= points per pound per gallon of grain 1 W1= weight in pounds of grain 1 same for grain 2 until grain "n" I use a ferm chamber, so my temps are within 1F of my setpoint. I also pay a very close attention to the mashing temp and my mash tun drops only 1F in 1h. I think the problem with a general formula for FG is because the variations of equipment and methods by the homebrewers, like mash tun design that affect the temperature drop, fermentation temp control, inaccuracy when measuring temp, volumes and gravity.

Green schemes to fight climate change by producing more bio-fuels could actually worsen a little-known type of air pollution and cause almost 1,400 premature deaths a year in Europe by 2020, a study showed on Sunday. The report said trees grown to produce wood fuel - seen as a cleaner alternative to oil and coal - released a chemical into the air that, when mixed with other pollutants, could also reduce farmers' crop yields.

Spyware is annoying, intrusive, and sometimes offensive. According to Webopedia, spyware "covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes." The good news is, you can protect yourself.
What are the Effects of Spyware?
Like its name suggests, spyware spies on you. Spyware monitors your Internet connection, tracking the websites you visit and other things you do online. As it gathers information about you, it sends the data back to its creators.
Spyware is often responsible for sluggish computer performance, especially when you're online. It eats up your Internet connection and your computer's processing power as it greedily records your activities and transmits them back to its makers. If you get enough spyware, it can degrade your computer's performance to the point of making it unusable.
Spyware is often the source of pop-up advertisements, which can be annoying and offensive. It can also interfere with web browsing by redirecting you from one site to another, or by preventing you from visiting certain websites at all. It may install "searchbars" or "hotbars" onto your web browser that cause problems or create pop-ups.
How Does Spyware Get Installed?
There are several ways you can get spyware on your computer.
- Piggyback - Sometimes when you install an application, spyware is installed too. This might be because the software vendor has made a deal with the spyware vendor. In cases like this, the installer may ask if you want to install the second application (i.e. the spyware). Unless you recognize it for what it is, you may unwittingly install it to your computer.
- Web Page - Spyware can get installed to your computer when you visit a web page. Some web pages might exploit vulnerabilities in your web browser (usually Internet Explorer) to install spyware on your computer without you even knowing about it. Other web pages might prompt you to install something when you visit the page and unless you realize what you're being asked, you may unwittingly install the spyware.
- Security Disguise - Some of the "security" (anti-spyware or anti-virus) software available on the Internet is actually spyware in disguise. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this spyware is disguised to look like a remedy to your problem. By installing these fake "anti-spyware" or "anti-virus" programs, you are actually installing spyware onto your computer.
TIP: Visit the Software Catalog to install programs to protect your computer. - Cool Disguise - Some "cool" programs you install are actually spyware. Cute programs that supposedly "enhance" your web browser or alter your system's appearance may actually be spyware. Like the story of the Trojan Horse, this spyware entices you to install it by making you want it. Once the spyware is on your system, its negative effects far outweigh any supposed benefits.
- Virus - Occasionally, a virus may be designed to install spyware as part of its payload. When your computer gets infected with a virus like this, it may download and install spyware onto your computer. This method of spyware installation is less common than the others.
- Mobile App - Kaspersky Lab reports 5,000 new mobile trojans weekly, coming in the form of "spyware and aggressive adware embedded in freely available mobile apps." One example is a tip calculator app that sent incoming/outgoing SMS to a designated email address.
Is Spyware the Same as a Virus?
No (although spyware may occasionally get installed by a virus). Unlike viruses, spyware does not spread by jumping from computer to computer. Also, spyware does not infect or delete files on your computer. Anti-virus programs generally do not find or remove spyware.
Because spyware may not be immediately obvious as the cause of computer problems, you might be tempted to think your computer has a virus when, in fact, spyware is responsible. Spyware can also be difficult to remove, a characteristic that makes it similar to some viruses.
How Can a Computer be Protected?
You can protect against spyware with a "1-2-3" strategy, using a combination of anti-spyware software, critical system updates, and common sense.
1. Anti-spyware software is important
If you think you might have spyware on your computer, you should run anti-spyware to find and remove it. Anti-spyware programs work a lot like anti-virus programs. They allow you to scan your computer for spyware that might be installed on your computer. The anti-spyware program typically displays a list of spyware it's found and gives you the opportunity to remove it.
Anti-spyware can also be proactive. Windows Forefront Endpoint Protection provides real-time protection, alerting you when spyware or potentially unwanted software attempts to install itself or run on your computer, or when programs attempt to change important Windows settings. Similarly, Spybot - Search & Destroy includes the function TeaTimer, which can detect and counteract to threats and unsolicited system settings changes.
2. Install critical system updates
If your computer alerts you to the availability of new critical system updates, you should install them – don't ignore them. Spyware can exploit your web browser's vulnerabilities. By installing critical system updates, you patch the holes in your web browser (and operating system) that can be used by spyware. This is key to protecting your computer against Internet threats like spyware.
Windows computers can get critical system updates from Microsoft's Safety & Security Center. You must use Internet Explorer to obtain updates in this way. Mac computers can get critical system updates from Apple's Security Updates website.
3. Use common sense – think before you click
Like phishing scammers and identity thieves, spyware often relies on the human element. For example, if you pay attention when installing applications onto your computer, you may have the option to uncheck the installation of additional software (i.e. what may be spyware piggybacking onto your computer). However, you may be too excited about the new program or widgit you're about to get to pay attention to all the options and fine print. It's easier just to click on OK.
When you get "security" warnings or when you're asked to install something from a web page, stop and ask yourself if you really want to install software from this website. Do you trust the site? Do you know what the software is or does?
When you use your computer, be aware of potential dangers and think before you click. Protect yourself before you connect yourself. By taking a cautious approach to the Internet, you will be doing a lot to protect your computer.
