The internet is big. It's not sentient yet, though Robert Swayer has written a compelling story of how it might 'Wake'. In fact it's far from intelligent at all. Banal comments about "how we ever managed without it" will age so quickly that future historians will assume a typo, more intelligence than we currently have and take the phrase to have been "how did we ever manage with it".

Considering that CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is an advanced mathematical method for predicting fluid flow and heat transfer using a computational software approach I find it paradoxical that it is often as much an art as it is a science. A model by its very definition is a representation of something. A computer model is a virtual representation of a system (e.g. a laptop, a rack mounted server, … Read More

Larry Grayson's famous high camp catchphrase would be well heeded by those wanting to ensure good thermal insulation. You can make it difficult for heat to leave a room, thus maintain a warm room temperature, by constructing walls and floors of sandwiched layers of various materials, restricting heat transfer to conduction and (in cavities) radiation methods only. Open a door however and cold air will … Read More
Conduction, the transfer of heat through a solid object. Convection, the transfer of heat in moving air/fluid. Radiation, the transfer of heat from one solid surface to cooler solid surface in 'line of sight'. The 3 modes of heat transfer are your enemy when it comes to thermal insulation of built environments. Heat is as sly as a fox when it comes to squirming its way out of a space to the cool outside. … Read More
Why is it that when you increase a cavity air gap size beyond ~30mm is there no subsequent detrimental affect on the overall U-Value? Why is it that the U-Value of the cavity gap nearly doubles when the air gap reduces to such as size so as to stagnate the air? Questions that come begging after observing the FloVENT simulation results discussed in the previous blog posting. Let's find out…. When I … Read More
100mm block, 50mm insulation, 50mm cavity air gap then 100mm block make up an external wall that in theory comply with a building regulation overall wall U-Value of 0.3 (W/m^2K). This got me thinking about the 50mm air gap. Why 50mm? What if it was 75mm or 10mm? Stagnant air is a great insulator, a small gap would tend to stagnate the air and might improve, reduce, the overall U-Value. A large gap would … Read More

As covered in the previous blog, air that sticks to the inside and outside walls offers a resistance to the heat that passes from the room to the inside of the wall and from the outside of the wall to the outside air. These two resistances make up part of the overall U-value, the overall ease by which heat can pass through the entire wall (or window or door etc.). The rest of the U-value is made up … Read More
It might well be that a single U-value is quoted, in reality though that single value describes the ease by which heat can pass through various stages, from an 'inside', passing through a 'wall/window' and going to the 'outside'. The resistance (inverse of the ease, resistance = 1/ease) the heat experiences as it passes from the inside air to the inner solid surface of the wall construction (and from … Read More
Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD, is a simulation technology that provides 3D predictions of fluid flow and heat transfer for a modelled system. Be it an electronics enclosure or a building, insights into the often complex air flow patterns can help designers better understand the physical behaviour of their design. Communication of such insights helps others to appreciate the sometimes painful design … Read More
I think that we can all agree that one feature of CFD over test is the ability to visualize where the flow is going. It is quite easy in CFD analysis tools, at least in our tools, to seed the flow any where within the solution and follow particles upstream and/or downstream. The limitation of this is that it is the results are qualitative. CFD has the capability, without an extreme amount of extra … Read More

Mirroring Brookhaven National Laboratory's Computational Science Center, Stony Brook University announced today it plans to establish its own Institute for Advanced Computational Science.
The new institute will be built with a $10 million donation the school received anonymously. Matching funds will be provided by the Simons Foundation.
The institute will strive to advance the science of computing – the process of creating algorithms – by working hand-in-hand with BNL's Computational Science Center, which specializes in large-scale data analysis.
The two entities will share more than just research though. Robert Harrison, an expert in high-performance computing, has been tapped to serve as both founding director of the institute at Stony Brook and director of the Computational Science Center at BNL.
Harrison comes to Long Island from the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Stony Brook officials said the institute will include computers with new chip designs that allow them to process data and algorithms at increasingly fast speeds.

The idea for hosting farm to table dinners had been something we have been thinking about for quite sometime. After repeated encouragement from friends and family to share the delights that are served in our kitchen, we decided to create themed Seed to Table dinners.
Our first dinner, back in October of 2014, was a complete sold out success! One of our guests enjoyed the dinner so much that he requested that we do these on a bi-weekly basis instead of bi-monthly!
Our Seed to Table dinners support our Giving Seed Program. Proceeds from the dinner and donations will help us continue our work in giving heirloom and open pollinated seeds to schools and organizations growing gardens to feed the body, mind and spirit.
Dinners are all prepared by Chef Matthew and are created out of freshly
harvested wonders from The Living Seed Company's farms and local
West Marin producers. Dinner is $75 per person and includes, hors d'oeuvres, soup, salad, a main course, dessert, wine and non-alcoholic beverages.
All dinners will take place in Point Reyes Station, CA. For dates and information on upcoming dinners, please contact Astrid at email@example.com
Every week we are going to introduce a Seed of the Week, where we are going to select one seed to highlight. We will share the historical attributes, the story that makes this variety an heirloom and why we love it so much!
This unique, pretty cuke is prized by gourmet chefs for its delicate flavor and crisp flesh. Deriving its name from its yellow skin, shape and size. An old heirloom that is sure to still please the discriminating cucumber lover and is easy to digest.
This one is easy to grow, works well in containers, and is extremely productive. Best when harvested young. Great for slicing, salads, on sandwiches and makes delicious pickles!
Please meet … Lemon Cucumber
A perfect vegetable to plant now and enjoy towards the end of summer – a perfect time to cool with cucumber water or salad! Best of all? It's on sale, for only $1.50 – time to eat cucumber
The Living Seed Company believes everyone should have access to vital, pure, open-pollinated seed varieties and through their The Giving Seed Program, seed donations have been sent to Haiti, India, Africa, Europe, South America and throughout the United States.
Over the past three years, The Giving Seed Program has given away over 4,000 packets of fresh heirloom seeds to school garden programs, inner city youth programs, community gardens, seed libraries, food banks, correctional facilities, veteran programs and others. The Living Seed Company also covers the cost of shipping.
We take recommendations for seed donations, feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Interested in donating to our program?
Donations can also be made by calling us at 415.663.8002 or by sending a check to:

The world of seeds can be a cornucopia of information, images and wild descriptions, almost all with promising results. Unfortunately, for most novice gardeners, it can be very misleading and frustrating. How can you tell if a seed company is good or not? Simple, if you can call them and have them provide you with where their seed crops have been grown. Most small seed houses would be more than happy to provide such information, as it proves that the consumer is going the extra mile to ensure where their seed source truly comes from. You will be surprised to learn that not many seed companies grow their own seed, which leaves the consumer to trust each company for providing seed that has vigor, traits and characteristics signature to each seed.
Today, you can find prices for a packet of seed, start at a modest 99 cents and reach upwards of $8.00. So what is the difference in that large gap? Most seed, sold economically via big box retailers is usually grown in Asia. Which means, it is already adapted to a region, soil type and water source, that is completely different from what you have at home. Their organic standards may be something to question, as well as their labor practices and environmental impact, among other things. Despite federal germination standards, inexpensive seed has lower germination. Although this may or may not be due to the quality, it often has to do with how the seeds are stored and transported, before it makes its way into a garden. Seeds are living breathing embryos and conditions that are too hot can inevitably kill the seed before it has even had a chance to germinate. At the turn of the 20th century, the United States was full of regional seed houses covering the country from coast to coast. In the 80's there was a huge consolidation of the seed industry when large pharmaceutical and big ag companies bought out many of these family owned businesses. This not only reduced the available genetic stock to gardeners and farmers, but began to tip the scales heavily, in a direction that did not favor biodiversity, preserving genetic stock, seed saving or family farms. This has caused a dichotomy in the world of seeds and available food varieties, but with new seed houses sprouting up again, things are changing and rare and unusual varieties are becoming the vegetables and fruits of choice. Most importantly, consumers are becoming more aware of what to look for in their food, what questions to ask their farmers and now, how to choose from a reputable seed company.
Not all seed is created equal. A seed may have the same variety name, as seed from another company, but the quality in its traits may be vastly different. Just imagine the difference in how a small farmer vs. a large farmer will have the ability to pay attention to his fields and truly choose crops that are only of the highest quality. The purity of a seed variety is only as clean as the attention paid to that crop. More awareness among gardeners and consumers, alike, are realizing the importance of supporting small family farms and family owned businesses, which the very back bone of what this country was created on.
Seeds naturally adapt to where they are being grown, the more they are planted in the same place the more resilient they become to pests, disease and inclement weather. Seeds, sold from a reputable seed house can offer seeds that were probably grown in conditions where plants are rouged and seed is never harvested from diseased or weak plants. This practice in turns builds strength and purity in a genetic line, assuring vigor in future generations. Choosing seed that has been grown in your local area or in similar climate will assure that the seeds you plant will naturally be more acclimated to your climate and will thrive with your love and attention. This inherently builds regional resilience in the food supply of an area.
It wasn't too long ago that most gardeners and farmers saved the seed from their fields, but with the on-slot of modern agriculture, that ancient practice began to fall away in favor of hybrids and petroleum-based pesticides and insecticides. The chain was broken, but only temporarily. There is a resurgence in returning to these practices, these ways that have been tried and true for thousands of generations and they are reminding us of how things were done. In such a way that is in reverence to the plants and the earth, where a relationship of reciprocity is developed and trusted. One of our main principles, as a small family owned seed company, is for more and more farmers and gardeners to begin to tap back into the beautiful cycle of life, known as seed saving. We believe seeds are not meant to be stored, we believe the most vital seed vault is in your very garden. The living embodiment of life and death, the place where we find ourselves and learn about the nuances of life.
There is a strong opposition, happening globally, to reject what is happening in modern ag and the truth is that growing a garden may be one of the most radical acts anyone can do. It directs the energy into what works, locally grown food sourced from your backyard. For those without a yard, supporting local farmers via CSA's and farmers markets can be as rewarding and powerful. Starting a garden with pure seed is essential in growing a healthy vibrant garden! When folks buy seed from us, we see it as though they have joined our growing family. Where they will received the support they need to assure their plants thrive in the ways that they are meant to!
With the amazing response we have received from highlighting our favorite seeds, we have decided to do a seed of the week!
Every week we are going to introduce a Seed of the Week, where we are going to select one seed to highlight. We will share the historical attributes, the story that makes this variety an heirloom and why we love it so much!
The Vermont Cranberry Bean is an extremely versatile heirloom, able to be enjoyed as a snap, shell or dry bean. Originally dating back to the 1800's from Northern New England, this bean is truly timeless in its taste, texture and appearance! Known as mild bean, that can easily absorb the flavors it is cooked with.
This is an excellent bean for West Coast climates that has a tendency towards cooler nights.
Interested in trying your hand at seed saving? Beans are one of the easiest crops to start with! Let the plant dry completely down, harvest pods, remove beans and store in an air tight (not vacuum sealed) jar. If rain is approaching and you have not harvested your beans yet, pull the entire plant, roots and all and place in a dry and rodent-free place, until the pods are completely dry.
Please meet … Vermont Cranberry Pole Bean
What a wonderful heirloom pole bean from Vermont! Multipurpose, maroon with cranberry stripes, bean can be used as a dry bean with a rich flavor for soups and makes an outstanding baked bean. Also an incredibly beautiful pink-striped snap bean and great as a shelly.
This bean will do great in cool-weather, short season climates. Dry bean keeps great in storage.
Getting married or know someone who is? Looking for a favor to give your guests, something to remember your event by? Look no further, our custom seed packets can be filled with any vegetable, flower or any herb seed. The packets can be designed in honor of you and your beloved with an image or a gorgeous botanical drawing.
With wedding season in full swing, it's no wonder brides all over the country are at their most excited and stressed states of mind. With so many decisions from dresses to food to flowers, it's not a surprise that party favors are low on the priority list.
Chocolate covered almonds and small mementos are usually the simple go-to solution. Unfortunately, favors are often left behind or end up in a landfill. With the advent of the farm to table movement and more and more people interested in gardening, offering customized seed packets for special events is a natural and often long-lasting favor.
Just think, whether you choose herbs, vegetables or flowers, your guests will be sure to remember you and your special event every time they enjoy one of the fruits or flowers from the favors they received.
Leave a lasting memory that will feed your guests, provide forage for bees and butterflies or simply bring color and life to a home.
For more information on varieties available and pricing, contact us at email@example.com
Every month we are going to introduce a Seed of the Month, where we are going to select one seed to highlight. We will share the historical attributes, the story that makes this variety an heirloom and why we love it so much!
Best of all, this is a great variety to plant right now in many parts of the country.
We have enjoyed it cooked and raw in many of its beautiful forms. We eat it grated raw in salads or as a side, pickled as a side dish as well as lightly cooked. Its sweetness and fun pattern make any meal so exciting! We also toss the greens in a salad, as it adds additional taste and texture to the mix.
Please meet Chioggia Beet …
A delightful candy striped Italian heirloom, name for a fishing village near Venice. An eye pleaser with scarlet skin and red and white ringed flesh. The flesh is sweet, mild and tender. Wow your dinner guests with this beautiful beet! Wonderful for fresh eating, in salads, steamed, pickled and if roasted whole and sliced just before serving it retains it's markings.

Handed down through generations, heirloom seeds offer a taste of the past. Often described as "open pollinated" seeds that have a long history, heirloom seeds can make for a diverse and downright gorgeous, organic garden. Like a family keepsake, these seeds offer something precious. Once planted, they'll bloom into a one-of-a-kind fruit, vegetable, herb or flower that hasn't been tainted by genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or pesticides.
Modern hybrids, which are created by crossing two selected varieties, often produce infertile plants. But heirlooms will yield the same plant year after year, which means you can always save the seeds for next year's crop. Heirlooms also offer a connection with history. Essentially, you'll be eating the same plump tomatoes that your ancestors enjoyed.
So, what else makes these vintage seeds inherently superior?
Many hybrid fruits and vegetables have been bred to produce more crop, or to resist certain diseases and insects. Unfortunately, these "features" often sacrifice taste in the process.
Plants from heirloom seeds weren't designed to be carted across the country or hoarded in cold storage for weeks, like many commercially grown fruits and vegetables. Instead, heirlooms were carefully selected for their flavor. After all, who wants to go out to their backyard garden and pick a bunch of carrots that taste like cardboard?
And once you've tasted a juicy heirloom tomato, it's unlikely you'll ever think the same about a supermarket tomato again.
With heirlooms, taste and nutrition go together. You can't get much fresher than just picked-off-the-vine or pulled-from-the-dirt fruits and veggies—and that means maximum nutrition.
Hybrids, however, have been bred for certain traits—such as producing higher yields—that sacrifice nutritional content in the process. The traits that make carrots, potatoes and other produce uniform in size and faster growing can also mean a lower quality food.
Heirloom fruits and veggies come in an all-out medley of kooky shapes, colors and textures. From deep red carrots to wonky-shaped tomatoes to bright pink bananas, you just can't get the same fun variety from hybrid fruits and vegetables.
By choosing to plant heirloom seeds, you're participating in a mission to diversify our food supply and preserve cultural history. As commercial growers increasingly opt to only plant a small variety of species, we're losing genetic diversity in our seeds, and therefore our food. This can potentially compromise the nutritional value of our food, lead to issues with soil in farming and potential food blights. Couple that with the increasing GMOs introduced into our produce and it's a potential recipe for disaster… convinced yet?
Several organizations offer GMO- and pesticide-free heirloom seeds. Browse their catalogs and get excited for this year's garden!

Want to have a garden, but don't have the space? Fret not, container gardens are the solution to the woes of urbanites and farmers alike. Aside from having the ability to produce a significant amount of food within a limited space, container gardens allow you to have full control of what going into your soil. This could be an easy solution for folks that may not know their soil quality while also protecting your crops from soil-borne pests. The fact that your garden would be raised also helps with pesky garden critters. It is also a wonderful idea for students and other young people that move often and are hesitant to grow a garden that they will end up leaving the following year, they can simply take their garden with them!
Containers also solve the problem if your garden is lacking sunlight, if your containers are on castors, you can easily wheel them as they follow the sun. This type of gardening also knows no boundaries, literally. I have seen full-grown fig, lemon and an assortment of other fruit trees flourishing in wine barrels! The idea is to do a bit of research and give your plants the room and light they need to grow. Some vegetables may be compromised if their container is too shallow, such as deep setting root vegetables. This method of gardening allows you to grow food anywhere from your porch, to your balcony to the sidewalk and even your rooftop! Take advantage of the vertical space in your container and add trellises, teepees or wire cages.
It is a solution that allows for maximizing productivity and creativity …. containers can be upcycled from old basins, bath tubs, wheelbarrows, wagons, baskets, chairs, cinder blocks, you name it! The sky is the limit with what you can use to make your container garden out of. Best of all, the more unique the vessel, the more outrageous your garden will look! Some things to keep in mind when you are reusing pieces that have old paint on them, it may have lead and you will not want to use it. Also, another thing to keep in mind is to remember is to drill sufficient holes for drainage, if not you will drown your plants. It has been suggested to drill the holes 2″ up on the sides, instead of on the bottom – this allows for a extra moisture retention, just don't over water your crops! Knowing how your pots hold or release water will also help you gauge the quantity of moisture necessary. There are solutions for self-watering, make sure you do sufficient research before you take off for the weekend! Depending on where you live will determine how moist/dry your vegetables will want to be, consult your local Extension office.
These types of gardens add dimension, texture, color and depth to a garden. You can specialize each container with specific vegetables or herbs. Perhaps using a few for companion planting vegetables and others create a medicinal, culinary and spice garden! Think of all the incredible things you enjoy eating and explore the possibilities of growing them, noting beats fresh food right out of the garden! Consider researching what plants do well together and which ones prefer to be at a distance. Take into account the amount of sunlight you have available and note to have a water source near-by, watering on a daily basis is key to a successful container garden. Our Urban Collection/Small Space Garden is geared for container gardens. These varieties thrive in variable light and space. When purchasing your seeds, always purchase them from a reliable source, check out our post on the Renaissance of Heirlooms to learn about why growing heirlooms and using open pollinated seeds is so important. Now is an ideal time to plant your heat loving crops, from seed, in order to enjoy a late summer and autumn harvesting! Take this opportunity and dig through your garage or attic, thrift-stores of curb side sales and create your container garden today!

Scouting for Victory with HARMANâs JBL VTX Line Arrays
The company had first worked with VTX several months earlier at a 1-day festival called Herning Rocker at Teglparken Stadion, Herning. Victoryâs Jesper Sørensen confirmed that the company was eager to put it to the test again. âWhen it came to the Jamboree we wanted a system that could be used to cover the entire venue with the same boxes,â he said. âWe wanted it to be easy to run over minimum distances of 100 meters with a single CAT5 cable to feed input and processingâand without needing to install subs at delay positions. That was the main challenge and the VTX was extremely good at that, providing nice low-end coverage across the entire coverage area.â
In total the company installed 84 V25 fullsize line array elements and 24 S28 arrayable subwoofers. The V25âs were configured in two hangs of 12 per side, with 12 S28 subs per side configured as a cardioid array for improved rear rejection. In addition, there were six delay towers with 12 V25âs per position for the first delay ring and a further three masts with eight V25 elements for the second delay ring.
According to Jakup Andrias Knudsen, LydRommet Denmarkâs Pro Audio Sales & Technical Support Specialist who provided system engineering support for the event, all delay towers were run with the X preset and the main system had a crossover at 80 Hz. âWe tried different sub configurations until we found the one that worked best,â he said. âSince the opening and closing ceremonies were broadcast live, there was a major concern as to how much onstage spillage would occur and we found that the S28 works extremely well in cardioid mode, offering very good front-to-rear rejection.â
To get the best performance possible out of the VTX line arrays, the entire system was powered and processed using Crown I-Tech HD ampsâwith 42 I-Tech 4x3500HD amplifiers powering the V25âs and 24 I-Tech 12000 HD amps running the subs. JBL HiQnet Performance Manager⢠was used for system optimization and was highly effective in controlling the massive setup. âThanks to Performance Manager I only needed to confirm the system response using Smaart V7,â Knudsen said. âAfter some sub alignment, delay time measurements and overall response testing, we were ready to run.â
Environmental impact on surrounding neighborhoods was also an important concern for the event, according to Knudsen. âWe were not specifically asked to steer the sound away, since local residents had been warned of the event 18 months in advance. However, we made some last-minute changes to the outer delay hangs to minimize spillage and ended up with an 18dB drop in SPL at the perimeter, which kept everyone happy.â
The VTX system successfully demonstrated its versatility while handling many different types of program material over the eight daysâwith the opening and closing ceremony including speech, video feeds and live music, and daily performances from DJâs and live bands. Outstanding performance of the new D2 compression driver, in particular, showed just how revolutionary VTX is and Jesper Sørensen stated that the D2 technology had made quite an impact. âThe D2 dual drivers are extremely powerful and provide a new means of listening to high frequencies. Some of the visiting engineers came with mixer setups and immediately noticed a difference in the high frequencies, discovering that they needed to mix in a new way to get the best out of VTX. All of them confirmed that the experience with the new JBL system was an excellent one.â

WASHINGTON, May 10— After three months of highly politicized debate, the Administration decided today not to punish China for the sale of equipment used for the production of weapons-grade enriched uranium to Pakistan.
The Chinese Government said it was unaware of any transfers of such equipment, and Secretary of State Warren Christopher, acting for the Administration, decided that he had no hard evidence to contradict Beijing. American officials do say they know the Chinese company that sold the equipment to Pakistan.
The Administration decided not to impose sanctions, officials said, because the Chinese promised not to transfer nuclear-related items in the future, reconfirmed their commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and agreed to consult with Washington on export control policies and other proliferation issues.
The shipment in question was small -- $70,000 worth of devices called ring magnets costing $14 apiece, sold beginning in June 1994 -- but the decision not to impose sanctions for the sale was politically charged.
It capped a week in which China policy was the major point in the Presidential campaign. Senator Bob Dole, who has supported Mr. Clinton's broader policy of unrestricted trade with China, immediately criticized today's decision.
As recently as three weeks ago, senior Administration officials were convinced that the Administration would impose some form of sanction on China for the transfer of the magnets. They are being used to make enriched uranium in a Pakistani installation that is subject neither to inspection nor to normal international safeguards. At that time an official said the Administration would have to impose sanctions at least on the Chinese company involved because American "credibility" depended on China's understanding that "actions have consequences, and that we mean what we say."
At the same time, the Administration is considering imposing about $2 billion in economic sanctions on certain Chinese exports to the United States unless China fulfills promises made last year to stop producing pirated copies of copyrighted American software, music compact disks and videos.
While officials say they are concerned about the deterioration of Washington's relationship with Beijing, they were at a loss to explain how announcing drastic sanctions on a trade issue one day and choosing to forgo sanctions on a nuclear proliferation issue the next could be seen as a consistent policy toward an emerging superpower.
Senior officials said today that the two decisions were entirely separate. They added that the timing of the announcements had nothing to do with Mr. Dole's statement on Thursday, in a speech on Asia policy, that he supported Mr. Clinton's decision to separate the issue of renewing China's "most favored nation" trading status from other issues like its human rights performance.
In a statement today, Mr. Dole called the timing "hardly coincidental," pointing out that it came a day "after I spoke on the shortcomings of the Clinton Administration in Asia."
The White House dismissed that speech today as "kerfuffle" after deploying Vice President Al Gore on Thursday to send the same message.
Mr. Dole said the Administration "was too slow to address proliferation concerns and too quick to reject targeted sanctions, for example on firms controlled by the Chinese People's Liberation Army involved in proliferation activities."
Mr. Dole said China's promises "must be matched by performance." What he found most troubling, he said, was that today's announcement exempted China's nuclear cooperation with Iran, which has been another area of concern.
There is a separate, ongoing investigation of reports that China sold missiles and missile parts to Iran, items that may violate China's 1994 promise to adhere to a missile technology control system, officials said. But there is no evidence so far that the reports are true, they added. That issue would not be considered one of nuclear cooperation, however.
Administration officials said that while Teheran accepts international oversight of nuclear development, Washington tries to discourage anyone from cooperating with Iran on nuclear issues, however legal.
Other Congressional reaction, with most legislators gone for the weekend, was mixed, with support for the decision coming from Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California. She said China's agreement to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons or unsafeguarded nuclear installations "is the keystone for non-proliferation throughout Asia."
China has made other promises and not kept them: not to pirate American software and music, for instance, or not to use prison labor to produce exports.
Representative Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, said in a statement: "We have seen the Chinese Government repeatedly promise to halt the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and repeatedly break those promises. Now, the Administration seems to have settled yet again for an empty promise."
But American officials said today that China was moving toward an acceptable international standard of nuclear controls and that its adherence would be carefully monitored.
Officials today emphasized what they described as their success in getting China to promise specifically that it would not transfer ring magnets or provide any other "assistance to unsafeguarded nuclear facilities," a position the Chinese will confirm in their own statement.
All together, the Department spokesman, Nicholas Burns, said, "What we got is what we would have sought from the Chinese to remove sanctions had they been imposed."
State Department officials said Mr. Dole's speech did not delay today's announcement or the separate trade-sanction decision. They said agreement with the Chinese was reached only this morning after nearly day-to-day exchanges since Mr. Christopher met the Chinese Foreign Minister, Qian Qichen, on April 19 in the Netherlands.
Mr. Christopher nearly concluded a deal late that night with Mr. Qian, senior officials said today, but did not complete if before he had to depart on a weeklong Middle East shuttle mission. Until that meeting, the officials said, they fully expected to impose sanctions against at least the Chinese company involved, the Chinese Nuclear Energy Industry Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Government-owned China National Nuclear Corporation.
Asked about charges that the decision was delayed for Mr. Dole's speech or the piracy decision, Mr. Burns said: "Unfortunately, we were not so artful. We almost had this agreement April 19, and we would have liked to announce it then."
But when Mr. Christopher decided that "senior level" officials in the Government were not aware of the magnet transfer, it meant that a 1994 nuclear non-proliferation act, which calls for harsh Export-Import Bank sanctions if proliferation is "willful," were not fulfilled.

Title: | Biohydrogen production by Cyanobacteria [abstract] |
Author: | Thiel, Teresa; Pratte, Brenda S. |
Contributor: | University of Missouri (System) |
Keywords: |
Transportation and Biofuels
bio-hydrogen renewable energy |
Date: | 2009 |
Abstract: | Hydrogen has the potential to provide a clean, storable, transportable and renewable source of energy that can supplement and eventually replace fossil fuels as the primary source of power in the U.S. However, most current methods for production of hydrogen require the use of fossil fuels. Pollution-free, renewable hydrogen can be provided using bio-hydrogen produced from sunlight and water by a microorganism such as the filamentous cyanobacterium, Anabaena variabilis. Almost all microorganisms that can bio-produce hydrogen using sunlight fail to do so in the presence of air because their hydrogen-producing enzymes are very sensitive to oxygen. Anabaena variabilis bio-produces hydrogen from water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the presence of air. It can do so because it has cells called heterocysts, in which there is almost no oxygen. European laboratories have shown that Anabaena produces hydrogen in outdoor bioreactors in the presence of air, but 50-fold too little for commercial success. Our research is focused on genetically engineering this strain for greatly increased hydrogen production in order to make it an economically feasible renewable source of energy for transportation. |

Inside "American Woman" on View at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute
Inside "American Woman" on View at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute
"American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity," the Metropolitan Museum's spring Costume Institute exhibit, kicks off tonight with an Anna Wintour, Patrick Robinson, and Oprah Winfrey hosted gala. Starting tomorrow, the Costume Institute will be open to the public.
Sarah Jessica Parker narrates the 2010 exhibition, taking viewers through six archetypes of American femininity from the 1890s to the 1940s (The Heiress, The Gibson Girl, The Bohemian, The Patriot and The Suffragist, The Flapper, and The Screen Siren). As we walked from room to room during this morning's press preview, we watched new money princesses of the late Nineteenth century become athletic tennis-loving girls and, through the feminist movement, emerge as bobbed flappers and glamorous film stars.
The last room in the exhibition aims to bring one's gaze back to present day. "American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz plays on repeat along with a video installation created by Trey Laird. Images—mostly sourced from Vogue magazine—of actresses, athletes, reporters, models, politicians, and musicians (like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Connie Chung, Janet Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice, and Gwen Stefani) appear alongside sometimes curious video footage (Serena Williams celebrating on the tennis court, Halle Berry and Katherine Bigelow accepting Oscars, Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video). One can assume the viewer is meant to place these modern day American women neatly into the aforementioned archetype, where Michelle Obama becomes our Gibson girl and Angelina Jolie is the new screen siren.
The hand-painted rooms by Nathan Crowley, are a definite highlight—heiress gowns by Worth are presented in a replica of Mrs. Astor's drawing room, while the flapper dresses by Jeanne Lanvin appear in front of an Art Deco cityscape—as are the wigs and headpieces created by Julien d'Y.
"American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity" will be on view May 4 through August 15. The exhibition was made possible in large part due to a partnership with the Brooklyn Museum's Costume Collection, which is currently staging a parallel show on American fashion.

Anyways, the Nvflash on the phone is the Linux i386 binary. The bootloader.bin isn't platform specific, as it's meant for the target, rather than the host. THe archive is available in /usr/local/share/motorola/fireboxmake/OSH_tools.tgz.
Unfortunately, this is where we get stuck, because we don't currently know how to get a connection to the phone. And that's where all of you come in! Can you get further? I've gotten this far:
Nvflash started rcm version 0X4 Command send failed (usb write failed)
Update: Information I've obtained indicates that this is the error you get when the SBK you pass in doesn't match the SBK on the system. So, no luck until we get that SBK.

City council approves relocation of Walter Singer bust
- Details
- Published Date
- Written by Diego Abeloos - Staff firstname.lastname@example.com
The Los Altos City Council last week voted 4-1 in favor of relocating the Walter Singer bust to a location near the Los Altos History Museum.
The bust of the late downtown business owner and Los Altos Rotarian – also known as "Mr. Los Altos" – is currently installed at Community Plaza, at the intersection of Main and State streets. The History Museum is located within the 18-acre civic center campus.
Council mulls enhanced transparency regulations
- Details

The Los Altos City Council last week split over pursuing a new law that would make some of the city's activities and communications more transparent.
A draft ordinance proposed by Councilwomen Jan Pepper and Val Carpenter calls for "more accessibility in some areas" of the city's activities and communications than is legally required under the Ralph M. Brown Act, according to a city staff report. The state law – enacted in 1953 and authored by its namesake assemblyman – outlines the public's right to attend meetings of local government bodies.
Los Altos council mulls second downtown survey
- Details
- Published Date
Written by Diego Abeloos - Staff
A community survey on downtown Los Altos is in the works – but likely won't be conducted until next year.
The council directed an ad hoc committee that includes Councilwomen Val Carpenter and Jan Pepper to further refine its objectives for a second telephone survey by consultant Godbe Research to gauge public opinion on the downtown triangle.
Public support at $20 million for community center rebuild
- Details
- Published Date
- Written by Diego Abeloos - Staff email@example.com
A report during last week's Los Altos City Council study session showed that city voters would support up to $20 million in public funding for a new community center.
City consultant Bryan Godbe of Godbe Research told the council that a recently completed survey revealed 67.6 percent support for a bond measure rate of $8 per $100,000 of assessed property value from likely November 2016 voters in Los Altos. The rate, he said, would equate to approximately $20 million in public funding to help replace the aging Hillview Community Center with a new multigenerational facility.
In addition, the survey showed 71.2 percent support from likely 2015 mail-in voters for the same rate. The results come from a telephone poll of Los Altos voters conducted between July 28 and Aug. 5. The survey results were derived from 400 likely November 2016 voters in the city – 275 of whom indicated they were also likely 2015 mail-in ballot voters. The survey was conducted as part of the city's 10-month process to update its 2009 civic center master plan – with a particular focus on replacing Hillview, which is more than 70 years old.
Councilwoman Val Carpenter said she viewed the results as positive compared to 2012, when the city conducted a similar survey for a $65 million bond measure for a new community center, police station and city hall. The 2012 survey showed less than two-thirds the public support needed to pass it. "To have actually polled and received support at the required level is encouraging to me," Carpenter said of the 2014 results. "It was the first time we've seen some support."
Among other things, the new survey results showed less than two-thirds voter support for rate levels higher than $8, with 2015 and 2016 likely voters supporting a rate of $14 per $100,000 of assessed property value at 56.2 and 52.8 percent, respectively. Higher rates of $20 and $26 failed to crack 50 percent support. Still, the results also showed as much as 60.9 and 60.6 percent support for a public pool facility among 2015 and 2016 voters, respectively, as part of a new community center. In addition, overall support for a bond measure to replace Hillview topped out at 60.6 and 58.6 percent among likely 2015 and 2016 voters, respectively. Other potential community center features, such as underground parking, ranged as high as 57.1 percent among 2016 likely voters.
Councilwoman Jan Pepper termed this year's results "generally positive" and added that $20 million in public funding would be one piece to a larger financing puzzle to build a new community center. "I think it's a good start," Pepper said of the $20 million estimate. "It depends on what we come up with in terms of our overall (community center) plan."
During the hour-long study session, a representative of city consultant NHA Financial Advisors outlined other financing strategies available to the city, including issuing a certificate of participation – an internal borrowing mechanism used by some cities – as well as the potential use of some reserve funds. Overall, the consultant noted, the city currently has $7.1 million in facility replacement funds, $5.8 million in park in-lieu funds and slightly more than $10 million in real property funds on hand.
Looking ahead, Pepper said she's interested in starting talks with Los Altos Hills to potentially form a joint powers authority – another option outlined by NHA – that could collectively pursue public funding options.
"We definitely need to put more emphasis on that and bring them into the conversation," Pepper said of the Los Altos Hills Town Council.
Carpenter added that the city will likely need to pursue a public information campaign, among a series of next steps, in an attempt to "move the needle" further among city voters.
An email to Mayor Megan Satterlee about the survey results was not returned by the Town Crier's press deadline.

Sheriff's Office, LAH residents collaborate to stop burglaries
It wasn't the type of surprise Joe Yang wanted to wake up to – the sound of two burglars in his Stirrup Way home in Los Altos Hills.
"I'm either lucky or unlucky," said Yang, who described thwarting the burglary attempt to town residents who packed Thursday's Los Altos Hills City Council meeting.
The break-in at Yang's home brings the number of burglaries in Los Altos Hills to 34 this year – exceeding the 10-year annual average of 28.3. Unlike the other 33, the Yang home was occupied at the time.

A plan to make modifications to a historical-landmark home in Los Altos is headed for public review, according to city officials.
Los Altos Planning Services Manager David Kornfield told the Town Crier that the owners of the former University Avenue home of Guy Shoup – brother of Los Altos founding father Paul Shoup – are seeking approval to demolish a detached garage on the property and construct a new one in its place. Plans include adding a second-story rear balcony to the home.

Harry Reid: Millionaire Job Creators are Like Unicorns
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
(Photoshop credit: Reader Chuck C.)
Harry Reid claims that "millionaire job creators" are like unicorns, the Tooth Fairy or factual statements from Debbie Wasserman Schultz: they don't exist.
Here's what Reid said:
Reid: "The Republicans say the richest of the rich in our country, even those who make millions every year, shouldn't contribute more to get our economy back on track. They call our plan, time after time, a tax on job creators, and I say so-called "job creators." Because I say that, Mr. President, every shred of evidence contradicts this red herring. For example, there have been many outlets, but I'll concentrate on one. National Public Radio went looking for one of these fictitious millionaire job creators. A reporter reached out to the business groups and a tax lobby in the Republican Congress hoping to interview one of these millionaires. Days ticked by with no luck. Many of our job creators are like unicorns, they're impossible to find and don't exist. That's because only a tiny fraction of people making more than a million dollars, probably less than one percent, are actually small business owners and only a tiny fraction of that tiny fraction is a traditional job creator."
Yeah, come on, everybody knows that the people with the least amount of money are the ones who are the most likely to hire. It's Harrynomics 101 folks. Keep in mind though that this is from a leader in a party that claims millionaires don't create jobs, but unemployment checks do.
Besides, Harry Reid saying that job creators are tough to find is like a bull in a china shop complaining that there isn't an unbroken tea service anywhere in sight.
If millionaires don't create jobs, nearly half of Congress (Reid included) owes America an apology and even a resignation for pretending to be able to do just that.

A yearly performance report shows the Office of Personnel Management made "great strides" in increasing strategic use of telework and overhauling hiring processes, but fell short on meeting several other key performance metrics.
Of the 24 performance measures OPM tracked during FY 2011, 13 were met and three remain undetermined, according to the recently released report. Some of the failures were in the areas of human resources compliance, human resources solutions customer satisfaction, and retirement services:
Human Resources Compliance: OPM failed to meet its target of 33 percent of employees covered by certified appraisal systems meeting the agency's standards. To improve the SES performance management and the certification process, OPM worked with agencies, the Senior Executives Association, and the President's Management Advisory Board to launch a governmentwide appraisal system that is more consistent and promotes equity in developing performance standards.
Human Resources Solutions Customer Satisfaction: The performance of the Human Resources Solutions organization was significantly affected by by a halt to all vendor-managed work that was due to several factors, including an internal reorganization and some policy changes, the report noted.
Retirement Services: In FY 2011, OPM processed retirement claims at an average unit cost of $107.62, which did not meet the target of $101.23 set for FY 2011. Overall satisfaction with retirement services provided by OPM was 76 percent satisfied or very satisfied, falling short of the target of 88 percent.
The report also details the agency's successes meeting performance goals in areas like telework and hiring reform. During FY 2011, OPM successfully integrated telework activities with the Chief Human Capital Officer Council sessions on emergency preparedness to stress telework as a crucial policy for pandemic preparedness.
The agency also met its goal of crafting a "Guide to Telework in the Federal Government," which breaks down telework guidance by agency and lays out the fundamentals of remote work.
Another goal highlighted by the report was OPM's introduction of the concept of unscheduled telework in the "Washington, D.C., Area Dismissal and Closure Procedures," which promote continuity of operations and safety of government workers and other citizens. OPM's hiring reform was another success, the report noted. The agency set out to cut the hiring time by 10 percent per year and improve both manager and applicant satisfaction by 1 percent per quarter. Survey findings showed that applicant satisfaction with the hiring process improved from 69 percent in the first quarter of FY 2011 to 70 percent in the fourth quarter. And manager satisfaction with applicant quality improved from 58 percent in the first quarter of FY 2011 to 63 percent in the last quarter.
However, although progress in adopting the President's Hiring Reform Initiative "has exceeded expectations," work remains to be done, the report stated. An engaged executive-level management and collaboration between HR staffs and hiring managers were cited as factors that led to faster-than-anticipated results.
