Russia's Moon Mission Rocket Creeps Closer to Completion

In Soviet Russia, space travels you
The U.S. may have
given up on a fresh Moon shot
for now, but its former Cold War-era space race rival
has fresh hopes
to finally achieve what it could not do in the Soviet-era -- set foot on the moon.
Corporate president Vitaly Lopota, head of one of Russia's largest commercial space companies -- Space Corp. Energia --
that it had fulfilled a its design objectives it took on when it won an April 2009 contract to design a new multi-purpose rocket.
Comments Mr. Lopota, "We have completed the technical design project taking into account the fact that the new spaceship is to fly to the Moon, among other places."
In addition to a potential Moon shot, the rocket will be tasked with ferrying cargo and passengers to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Federal Space Agency Roscosmos head Vladimir Popovkin announced earlier in the year that the rocket would be constructed and operational by 2018; the news from Energia shows that target may indeed by reached.

Russia seemingly is in a bit stronger position than the U.S., in that it still maintains domestic capability to launch humans into space (aboard the seasoned Soyuz capsule craft). However, the program is under pressure after a string of failed
and/or delayed
commercial launches. Most recently a suspected failure in the Briz-M booster
scuttled a Proton rocket launch
from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan. The expensive August 2011 failure destroyed two commercial satellites.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev gave the Russian space agency and its private partners until the end of the summer to work out a plan to fix the deterioriating situation.
While the design side of the equation appears to be rolling forward, the business plan to remedy the recent issues is still very much up in the air. Chief Popovkin had proposed creating a holding company that would tie together top commercial space firms -- such as Khrunichev and TsSKB Progress. The plan then involved creating a sub-holding company inside the greater holding pool to specifically pull in the smaller engine producers, including Energomash, the Khimavtomatiki design bureau, the Voronezh mechanical works, Proton PM, and others.
However, Mr. Lopota blasted that plan, calling it a non-market measure. Some opponents feel that shareholders in the corporate space firms will be short-changed if the government combines them, and further feel that it's a return to Russia's communist past -- a controversial topic in modern Russia.

RE: go for it!
It has been proven that children are capable of learning very advanced subjects at very young ages, so we should start with math and science as early as possible. I have seen kids who can understand algebra at even third grade levels, problem is most teachers teaching that level don't even understand it well. In the U.S. we have allowed the vocal minority who want to push arts and humanities as the focus of our educational system to have their way at the expense of having a good science and math curriculum. One study I found has the US ranked at 14th in the world in Reading, while we rank 17th at Science and only 25th in Math. Japan and Finland are at the top of the list currently, why are we not closer to the top?
One reason we are not at the top is we have allowed the entitlement ideology to permeate our society to the point that we believe we shouldn't have to require people to do things but that government should do them for us. Why learn to read, write, do math or science when we can just sit home and watch TV instead. Another is that we seem to be afraid to ask children to actually put forth an effort to learn or make them spend time and energy to learn when they want to do other things, as if making them do something will somehow destroy their self esteem so much that they will become some kind of nonfunctional creature with a broken psyche. Children are much tougher than we give them credit, they can handle a little pressure to perform, and used wisely it will make them stronger as adults. My parents made me do my homework before I could play with my toys or go visit friends, I didn't end up homeless on the streets, I ended up with a degree in chemistry, and interest in art and the ability to write not only technical papers but fiction as well all while still having a well rounded social life.
We have allowed lazy people to succeed in this country and now they are the driving influence on our society, I am afraid of where that will lead if something is not done about it soon.

President Obama's proposal to boost government coordination with the private sector got a warm welcome in the House Homeland Security Committee.
The spy agency wants to better integrate cybersecurity into its traditional human intelligence operations.
Meet the women and men who are doing great things in federal IT.
The law's certification and approval provisions empower CIOs to end outdated software development projects, says Agilex's Roger Baker.
The new chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee extends an olive branch to the minority, but keeps subpoena power for himself.
FCW investigated efforts by the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to improve a joint data repository on military and veteran suicides. Something as impersonal and mundane as incomplete datasets could be exacerbating a national tragedy.
Despite delays, the program is at a critical point for determining the ultimate impact of cloud technology in the government space.
In an interview with FCW, the Department of Veterans Affairs' chief technology officer talks about overhauling the digital experience for VA customers.
The National Information Exchange Model's usefulness extends far beyond its origins in justice and law enforcement.
Every private sector job on the planet has pay for performance and yes if your boss doesn't like you, your boss doesn't give you a raise. Gov't employees should not be treated any different. You already have things the private sector does not - you can't get fired, you still have a full retirement pension, you have affordable health care and you can sit in a building until they close it down and be handed a new job regardless of your skill level.
The problem with NSPS was the buy in, now everyone I know that is on NSPS are between grades that they should be, if they were still in GS scale. Also the hiring seems to be a very big question, in the GS world if you interviewed one you interviewed all, but with NSPS they can screen you out of a interview or not have one at all, every high level manager's job are being filled with retiring Colo's & Generals, there is no promotion protental for any of us Civil Service people.
What about the yearly cost of living increases. GS pay system employees get the full cost of living increase voted on by congress. The lucky NSPS employees get 60% of that. I am just curious if any one is looking into this and are those employees who lost money during this period ever going to be made whole.
Having worked for 4 years to "helP" DOD implement NSPS, I have four relatively minor recommendations which would improve the system immensely. 1) Simply do away with the PayPoolPanels--they cost much more than the value they add. If the 2nd level supervisor cannot serve as the quality control point for the ratings, s/he is in the wrong job. 2) Narrow the bands (thereby increasing their number) the salary span is simply too great; which in turn would enable 3) Do away with the control points and 4) Standardize the "Business Rules". There simply MUST be a single best practice in this matter.
I'm in HR and NSPS is definitely a Good Old Boys. I saw all the reconsiderations for one of my largest agencies within DOD and it was NOT fairly rated. The paypool manager was also the rating official of some employees. Please go back to GS at least there was fair and ethical pay for everyone with performance awards to boost the really high performers.

This article gives some free websites that students can use for project based learning assignments. They all make projects easier for students to put together and to get to from different computers. In a way this makes me think of my personal learning network with the free ways to share ideas through the internet. These resources all seem very useful for a project based learning classroom and I cannot wait to see how they will grow and expand by the time I have my own classroom.

You point the camera of your phone or iPad at the text you want to record and eHighlighter will automatically grab your highlighted text and save it for you to annotate. In 7th grade ELA, students are constantly annotating. I'd like them to practice at home, and this could be a great alternative to printing texts for them because they have the freedom to choose their own. Win-win!

I haven't read this article but I'm seriously interested in the question implied in the title.....i.e. how to 'mark up' information and get them on the web. In many cases, I think that's adequate for most people's purpose. I have yet to find a tool that I found really comfortable for doing that. Maybe this is it.

Friday, April 26th, 2013Police charged a man with arson after he was caught by a security guard hired to protect vacant houses from suspicious fires, including one that razed a house.

Major changes in the security industry
Wednesday, March 20th, 2013The message from the market seems clear; major conglomerates in the security business have given up on their long standing strategy of growth through acquisition. None of them excluding Tyco, have made a significant acquisition since 2010. In the five years prior to that, they were all active in acquiring businesses both large and small; increasing their geographic scope and updating their technology.

East Union was officially eliminated from the playoff race Thursday when second-place Central Catholic visited and won the Valley Oak League match, 25-16, 17-25, 25-23, 25-21.
Back in August, as teams across the Central Valley prepared for tournaments and non-league games, Victor Polanco kept his team at home.
STOCKTON - Francisco Cisneros is a member of a club few coaches get to join: Club Perfect.
RIPON - The Ripon boys water polo team had shredded Valley Oak League competition leading up to Wednesday's Valley Oak League finale against Sonora, winning each contest by no less than seven goals.
Help is on the way for East Union and Weston Ranch, and just in time for their Week-9 Valley Oak League tussle at Dino Cunial Field.
Ripon can forget about that over-the-top pre-league schedule that led to its 1-4 start.
Mahir Pepic asked Manteca High head coach Rick Cuevas to bark out his time while nearing the 2-mile mark at the Eagal Lakes Resort 3.1-mile course.
Ripon showed no drop off with reserves getting ample playing time in Wednesday's three-game rout (25-11, 25-15, 25-12) of visiting Modesto Christian.
STOCKTON - The Weston Ranch volleyball team is hitting its stride.
East Union plans to throw it back to the 1970s, when losses were hard to come by and names like Herrera and Taylor were still at the forefront of the football program.
Manteca held its own against Central Catholic and nearly forced a fifth set in a 25-19, 13-25, 21-25, 24-26 Valley Oak League loss Tuesday in Modesto.
Ripon Christian secured the outright claim to the Southern League championship with Tuesday's 2-0 victory at Denair.
Vista del Lago and Christian Brothers players took turns taking pictures with their prizes on the 18th green at Manteca Park Golf Course.
Ripon had two golfers finish in the top 10 in Monday's Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Tournament held at Micke Grove Golf Links, but both played their final round of the season.
It all comes down to Wednesday's winner-take-all Valley Oak League finale between cross-town foes Manteca and East Union.
LATHROP - Anand Hundal will probably be on time for practice from now on.
Chris Teevan joked that he might need a search party to find the Weston Ranch boys basketball team's home jerseys.
Kimball put its best defender on East Union's best shooter on the final play of Tuesday's Valley Oak League opener at Dalben Center.
It's not just about what Manteca High's baseball team accomplished, but how it went about doing so.
Sierra begins its Valley Oak League title defense tonight against visiting Oakdale.
In a word - balanced.
STOCKTON – The battle for second place Saturday at Stagg High School's Demolition Day Wrestling Tournament came down to the 285-pound bout between East Union's Michael Villanueva and Sierra's David Saenz. Villanueva got the pin to get the Lancers second place by a point and he was awarded the outstanding heavyweight wrestler award.
Mark Paule Jr. burst onto the scene with seven touchdowns in a season-opening victory at Ripon High, and then never let off the gas.
Ruby Daube stepped up big for East Union once again.
With its bigs slowed by foul trouble, Sierra looked to its guards to end its pre-league schedule on a high note Friday at Tokay.
On multiple occasions this past fall season, Dani Erdelatz and some of her Ripon Christian teammates acknowledged that the 2014 Knights lacked the star power of their predecessors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- On "National Youth Services Day," Saturday, April 15, more than 50 American Red Cross youth volunteers will be visiting homes and apartments of elderly and low-income people in Oakland to do nonstructural earthquake retrofitting and to remove various fire hazards.
The volunteers will install water heater straps, cabinet latches and smoke detectors, and identify window security bars that need safety releases. They will also educate residents on the importance of emergency preparedness.
"This project is a unique opportunity for youth to work with local agencies to make their community safer in the event of a local earthquake. As part of this Project Community Quake Safe, youth volunteers (ages 14 - 18) will have a chance to put their knowledge to work and advocate service to youth and adults alike," stated Anne Chan, Director, Youth Services, American Red Cross Bay Area.
The youth volunteers will be partnering with the City of Oakland Fire Department, Office of Emergency Services, the American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, CARD (Collaborating Agencies Respond to Disasters), CORE (Citizens of Oakland Respond to Emergencies) and firefighters from Firefighters Union Local 55 to provide this free service.
"The Oakland Fire Department is happy to work in concert with FEMA, American Red Cross Youth Services, CORE, CARD, and members of IAFF Local 55 to assist our community, especially our seniors and other residents, in making Oakland resistant to disasters," said OFD Battalion Chief Jim Williams.
This is the third annual April event for the City of Oakland's Project SAFE (Safety And Future Empowerment) program, one of many innovative programs the city has undertaken since it was named as a pilot community for Project Impact, a nationwide initiative led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Project Impact is aimed at building disaster-resistant communities. In Oakland and elsewhere, Project Impact is based on three common-sense principles: preventive actions must be decided at the local level; private sector participation is vital; and long-term efforts and investments in damage prevention are essential.

Transportation: There isn't really any transportation. Every one either walks or bikes. There isn't many options for long distance transportation, so a car is necessary.
Transportation: No on campus transportation, airport an hour away and a train station 5 mins away
Transportation: There is absolutely no way to get around without having your own car or riding a bike. However the town is so large that it is very difficult to get to places farther away.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
The most popular form of transportation is a car. The majority of students brings their car, especially if they are from Florida. Out-of-state students sometimes bring their car, but it is not necessary. Because so many students bring their car, finding a ride somewhere is very easy.
Throughout the month, a campus shuttle will depart from school for shopping excursions. The frequency of these outings can be inconvenient because they are not every weekend. Therefore, students must plan ahead for what they need to buy, unless they can find a way to shop on their own. On a positive note, the service is free, so there is no need to worry about gas or money for a taxi. Lakeland is small and close-knit, so biking can be an option, too. In addition to getting some exercise, biking can allow access to nearby stores and restaurants without having to pay for gas or a taxi. Bike racks can be found around campus, close to dorms for easy access.

Blogs We <3 This Month
Once a month, we highlight blogs our staff is reading right now!
Don't Call Me Betsy
Designer Elizabeth Dackson is the paper-piecing queen. Her use of color (especially solids) is so fun. And besides that, she's a Craftsy teacher, so you know her tutorials are super helpful! Even if you're not a person who likes paper-piecing, Elizabeth's blog is so fun to look at. Her quilts range from bold and stunning to tiny and cute. And she does a great job mocking up her blocks in different colorways, so you can visualize the project with your own fabric!
Fresh Lemons Quilts
Designer Faith Jones makes stunning modern quilts that use both traditional patchwork and paper piecing. From common blocks to complicated designs, Faith's quilts are not only eye-candy, but totally make us want to start digging through our fabric piles. Plus, she gets scrappy with fun ways to use a variety of prints in her projects.
Sew Mama Sew
This is one-stop-shopping for sewing projects. Blog owner Kristin Link (and her talented contributors) offer free patterns for handmade quilts, gifts, clothes, and more. With new tutorials popping up daily, you'll never run out of sewing ideas! Whether you're looking for something specific or just want inspiration, this blog is perfect place to jumpstart your creativity!

Perfect Your Skills: Seeing Contrast
Trying to ignore color and just study contrast is not an easy task. When looking at fabrics in a store or from your fabric stash, try these techniques to determine the contrast or value. Select possible fabrics for a project, then perform one or more of these tests to see if you've included enough contrast in the group. If you need more contrast, substitute lighter or darker fabrics until you have a variety of values.
1. Try squinting. Closing your eyes slightly limits the amount of light they receive and reduces your perception of color, so contrast becomes more evident.
2. Use a reducing tool. Purchase a reducing lens or a door peephole. These tools reduce an image, making color less obvious and contrast more apparent when the fabrics are viewed. Taking pictures with your phone or looking through a camera also works in this regard.
3. Look through red cellophane. This technique conceals the color and allows you to see the continuum of values from light to dark.
4. Make black and white photocopies. Photocopying completely masks color and can give an indication of contrast between and within pieces of fabric.

Piece & Play: February
In the February 2015 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, designer Jean Wells teaches us how to expand our piecing horizons with a new technique — freehand curved piecing — and shows us how to play with color. The editors were so excited to learn this technique and create their own projects. See what they made below and share your own creations inspired by Piece & Play using the hashtag #apqlearnalong on Facebook and Instagam. And follow along with new projects and inspiration at www.allpeoplequilt.com/learnalong.
CORRECTION: If you order the Palette Box fabrics from The Stitchin' Post as shown in the February issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, you will receive 1/4 yard (fat quarters) of the solids instead of 1/2 yard solids and 1 yard of the theme print for $65 plus shipping.
Elizabeth Tisinger Beese, editor of American Patchwork & Quilting
Elizabeth says: "I had so much fun making this pillow! I'm not an art quilter at all, so I was a little intimidated by the improvisational nature of this technique, but I ended up getting addicted to it! (I was only going to make a pincushion but got so wrapped up in this that I made the entire Four-Patch Pillow!). I chose my Palette Box by starting with some multicolor batiks that had an interesting mix of brown and pink combined with bits of coral, orange, and green."
Jill Mead, editor
Jill says: "I find color and fabric inspiration in collections. I love the colors in this collection of Aurifil embroidery floss from a stitch kit from Moda Fabrics. It makes me think of spring. Using the threads as a visual guide, I select matching solids from my stash. Then I fill out the basic collection with lighter and darker, more saturated/less saturated solids.
Lindsay Fullington, assistant multimedia editor
Lindsay says: "I started with a fat quarter bundle of the Hadley collection from Dear Stella. I chose one colorful print and pulled in tone-on-tone teal, purple, orange, pink, and brown to pull out colors from the main print. The darker teals play nice with the lighter pinks. The brown tones the bright prints down and offers an unexpected color to the palette. I loved playing with color placement and the freeform cutting technique. It felt so creative to cut without a ruler and use colors outside my normal palette! It was a very forgiving project and I felt like I could experiment without fear of failure!"

2014 Quilting To-Do List: Update 9
I can't believe October is over! With only two months left to finish the quilts on my to-do list, I'm starting to panic! I finished one of my quilts this month and am really close to finishing two more, which will take a little stress off. I'm, of course, still enjoying the process, but my goal was to FINISH these five quilts and I don't want to fall in the trap of putting them off until next year. I can tell you that I already have a long list of things I want to start in 2015, and don't want a stack of "need-to-be-quilted" projects weighing on my conscience! See my list for making time to get projects done below.
On my to-do list this year:
- Tula Pink's City Sampler (See all my blocks here.)
- American Patchwork & Quilting Quilt Along (Read more about it here.)
- Pat Sloan's Globetrotting Block of the Month with Free Quilt Patterns (Get details here.)
Finish my Passion 48- Quilts and More Welcome Home wall hanging series (in Quilts and More Winter)
I got one more of my APQ Quiltalong blocks done. I have six more to go before I can sew them all together. I'm still deciding if I want to do sashing or not. I've seen the quilt both ways on Instagram and love them both! This decision might come down to how much time I have left to finish this!
I finished the setting and borders for the Globetrotting Block of the Month. I absolutely love the way this quilt turned out! Since I'm quilting this one myself, I need time to sketch out a quilting design. I've never quilted such a large quilt on my home machine, so it'll be a fun challenge!
I cheated and took the pattern for the Quilts and More Winter Welcome Home door hanger a little early (the issue is officially on sale November 4). I'm making one for my mom for Christmas, since she loves snowmen. I have almost half of the appliqué done on one of the door hangers. A few more days of work on these and they should both be ready to go!
I have some tips for prioritizing projects. (See my tips for making your list here.)
1. Make a list. Although this seems like an obvious tip, writing down what you need to sew and any supplies you'll have to buy can really help speed up the process. You'll cut down on your number of shopping trips. Then organize your projects by how long they'll take and when you need them done by. Then you can prioritize by deadline or squeeze in a project that will only take a few hours when you have a free afternoon.
2. Work before play. Although this isn't something we love to hear, the quilts that you're doing for yourself might need to take a backseat to any gifts or decor you need to make. And even though you may think you can always do your "work" projects tomorrow, my experience says that pushing back those type of projects can make you panic last-minute. Better to get them done as early as possible and if you have extra time, you can always do your "play" projects.
3. Recruit a friend. Did you decide to make holiday gifts for all the grandkids this year? Or did you get asked to make a few quilts for a charity auction? If you have fast deadlines or are overwhelmed with your to-do list, ask a sewing buddy to help out! Make an evening out of it with some snacks and a movie. Even if they don't help you finish everything, they'll at least make a dent and you'll get some stress-relilef from the hangout.
Happy quilting in 2014! Share your own quilting to-do list in the comments and make sure to check back to see my progress.

I'm trying the 4-node, 2-shard example from the Wiki and specifying shardIds like this: > dir shardId start order runnng ZK port > example 1 1 y 8983 > example2 2 2 y 7574 > example3 1 3 y 8900 > example4 2 4 y 7500 > And I'm waiting a bit between starting various examples to let ZK settle down. > Once all of them are started, I was looking at http://localhost:8983/solr/#/~cloud?view=graph to check out what that looks like (pretty cool IMO, especially since I didn't have to do it). The problem was that shard 2 only reported a single instance, while shard1 showed the two instances I was expecting. I'm running with 3 embedded ZK instances, just for yucks. Interestingly the node that didn't show up was the only node that was NOT running ZK. > When I removed all the "shardId" parameters, nuked zoo_data from all directories and just started them up (with numShards=2 on the bootstrap ZK node), all 4 nodes showed up just fine. > When starting with shardId specified and trying to go straight to the admin interface on the node that wasn't showing up, I'd get odd errors like "This interface requires that you activate the admin request handlers, add the following configuration to your solrconfig.xml:". I also couldn't search directly on that machine, "http://localhost:7574/solr/select?q=*:*" returns a 404 error. > Command starting server that's giving me trouble: java -Xmx1G -Djetty.port=7500 -DzkHost=localhost:9983,localhost:8574,localhost:9900 -DshardId=2 -jar start.jar > Command for one that works fine: java -Xmx1G -Djetty.port=8900 -DzkRun -DzkHost=localhost:9983,localhost:8574,localhost:9900 -DshardId=1 -jar start.jar > Sami Siren and he reports similar issues via e-mail conversation. Sami says that ZK 3.3.5 apparently (without exhaustive tests) fixed the problem for him, but when I tried ZK 3.3.5 I saw the same issue. Of course with all the recent stuff with Ivy, I may have screwed up when/where the JARs were. > So then I went back to ZK 3.3.4 and couldn't reproduce the problem. Which seems highly suspicious to me. It was failing every time before with 3.3.4, so it sounds like gremlins. > And then I tried ZK 3.3.5 again (changed the ivy.xml in solrj, blew away the ZK 3.3.4, rebuilt, removed zoo_data, recopied example to three other directories) and it works fine there too now. Siiiiggggh. Mostly this is a placeholder to insure we try this, I guarantee that sys admins will want to assign specific machines to specific shards, so this'll get used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Salt Lake City, Utah - Hiking Hub
by Rocky Alps Salt Lake
City, Utah is a great place to experience the outdoors, especially for those

parks to the south or skiing in arguably the best snow on earth (which I can
attest to after growing up skiing where it's much icier), but many overlook
the mountain hiking aspect. |
Cornwall International Trad Climb
Meet, May 2013 by AlbertoRampini To improve climbing practice and sharing experiences is one of the best mission of mountaineering associations in the whole world. Since a lot of time ago, British Mountaineering Council (BMC) every year organizes different international climbing meets, both on rock and ice. Also other Clubs organize international meets, such as American Alpine Club and, since 2010, Club Alpino Accademico Italiano. During the meet's weeklong run, climbers coming from various Associations, Clubs and Mountaineering Federations throughout the world meet and stay together to share experiences, often quite different and so very interesting and important to develope and increase technical ability and ethical maturity. On the middle week of last month of May (12–19 may 2013) BMC organized the International Sea Cliff Climbing Meet in Cornwall, based in the shelter named "The Count House", near Penzance, West Cornwall, situated about 220 miles from Bristol. Many climbing federations in the world were invited to send confirmate climbers (one each nation). More |

The project: "Work Less, live more" by PAROFES It is quite important to work less so
you can have a pretty important quality of life, spend more time with family and
friends. Don't beat yourself up 24/7 on the damn race for money and
"stability", that's absolutly not good for health and you can find
yourself on a hospital bed in no time. My father had a similar problem when he
was 29. He was the "big head" of the financial department on a big brazilian
company. Coming home late every day, working too hard, a couple flights every
week, so one day his body said "no more, I just can't take it no more" and
he colapsed on his desk while working. He woke up on the hospital, turns out he
suffered a small heart attack and got a "wake up call" so to speak. Had to
go on a severe diet, quit the job and relaxed for at least three months. |

Top layer of drywall peeled off, showing cardboard
1 Attachment(s)
I tried to hang a mirror on the wall and it turned out to be too heavy for the sticky back it came with (which was designed to "pull and peel" .. seemed like a good idea at the time.) When it fell it pulled off the top layer of drywall in a few places. It looks awful. How can I fix this? It's in a rented apartment room. The walls here are off-white. I realize it won't match completely, but is there a repair material that (a) won't be too obvious and (b) is not pure white?
Go buy a pint of "spackling" and a three inch plastic putty knife and some sand paper for drywall.
Strike it off hard with the putty knife. When it dries sand it smooth. If you still have a depression, do it again. That damage is too big for toothpaste.:) |

HP Networking WLAN Powers Brazil's Curitiba Stadium for the World Cup 2014
By Mary Gabra, Manager, Sales Enablement, HP Networking
HP Networking provides the WiFi access to the fans watching the 2014 World Cup games at the Curitiba stadium, commonly referred to as Arena da Baixada. Curitiba is one of Brazil's most modern and best-appointed stadiums. Four matches were hosted at this stadium during June with the attendance recorded at a maximum capacity of 42,000 people per match.
Powering this network is just one of the major points reinforcing the capability of the HP Networking's unified wired and wireless LAN (UWW) solutions. HP's UWW allowed these fans to seamlessly post photos, videos and comments on all social media platforms using their smart phones and tablets.
HP Networking's response to customer requirements
Lemcon Americas is the system integrator contracted to provide WiFi to the Curitiba stadium. They chose HP Networking as the WLAN solution provider due to the completeness of the solution and the available local support—unmatched by other vendors. Lemcon Americas knew that with HP, they could deliver the solution in a short time with high quality products, and professional services as well as support. The HP solution was designed to provide service to 20% of the audience at once with approx. 9,000 concurrent users. The HP products provided the high density required for this high profile event.
A key advantage HP had over the competition was the unified wired and WLAN (UWW) solution. HP's unified solution was appealing to the customer, especially with the ease of management that IMC provided.
Furthermore, Lemcon Americas valued the relationship with HP as an engagement in partnership that will support them for the next 10 years while they are servicing this stadium.
HP solution at Curitiba Stadium
The HP solution deployed at Curitba included: HP 870 Unified Wired-WLAN Appliance, MSM430, MSM466, Outdoor Antennas, 7500, 5120, 5500, IMC and WSM. Additionally, HP's TS Care Pack service provided professional services on configuration and installation. Just to give you an idea on what actually took place during the matches in June, the network reports showed that there was an average of 4,210 number of users connected to the system during the game with 20.9 GbE of traffic per hour.
HP Leadership in Unified Wired-Wireless Solutions
The HP Networking (HPN) commitment to addressing Lemcon Americas urgent needs, along with our unified wired and wireless portfolio as well as our local support gained the customer's trust to give this highly visible project to HPN. In the recently published Gartner magic quadrant report for Wired and Wireless LAN infrastructure, HP placed in the leader quadrant (Register for the report here). The Curitiba stadium deployment is just one of many points reinforcing HPN's wireless leadership. Learn more about the HPN unified wired and wireless portfolio atwww.hp.com/networking/Unified.

One of the earliest historical reports of a far northern, snow-covered place was by Pytheas who sailed out of what is now Marseilles in 325 B.C., and discovered a place he called Ultima Thule, a six day journey north of Britain. No one knows exactly where his ship landed but people believe that it may have been Iceland, Greenland, Norway or the Shetlands. Pytheas described the remarkable midnight sun and reported that the sea surrounding Thule was "neither sea nor air but a mixture like a sea-lung that binds everything together."
In the following centuries the Romans and medieval scholars called the Far North "the kingdom of the dead" where the Cyclops lived "in a place of chaos, the abysmal chasm." In those days scholars also believed that the North Pole was a "gigantic metallic rock rising out of the ocean." Read more »
As someone who has explored sewers as a kid--they were in a new subdivision; it was on a dare--I totally understand the appeal of life underground. Who hasn't dug in their yard and hoped to find arrowheads or pottery from thousands of years ago?Ackroyd, who wrote a book about the above-ground city several years ago, now dives underneath to recount the other world under busy streets, cathedrals, government buildings, and flats.It's fascinating stuff. In the 19th century workmen excavating before constructing new buildings discovered huge chunks of the Roman wall that surrounded the city about two millenia ago. Other builders during that same time period found a stairway down to a brick-walled room with a spurting spring that they believed was used as a baptismal font during medieval times. Read more »
Browsing the new science books, I came across The Sun's Heartbeat. I picked it up expecting a rather dry collection of facts and was immediately engaged by a chapter titled "The Wild Science of the Bearded Men."Not only can Bob Berman write but he also has that gift shared by all the best science writers: the ability to translate complex scientific terms into language that anyone can understand.This book provides a compelling overview of several thousand years of sun research including the great sunspot controversy of the 17th century. The invention of the telescope in 1608 spurned a race to discover facts about the sun. Johannes Fabricius and his father discovered little spots on the sun and excitedly watched them for days until they burnt out their retinal cells. An English astronomer who had voyaged to Roanoke with the English explorers also began recording sunspots. And Galileo himself entered the fray. In fact, Galileo engaged in a decades-long fight with the German professor Christoph Scheiner over sunspots. Over who discovered them first--in fact, neither had, over whether the sun has an atmosphere, and many other topics. Read more »
While most books about the Arctic or Antarctic focus on just one thing--the indomitable quest to reach one of the poles--this book has a much broader canvas--it covers the equally arduous work of making new scientific discoveries during the age of great polar exploration.This broader canvas allows the reader to learn about biological, geological, and meteorological phenomena but also about the cost of empire. England sponsored many of these expeditions while this country held political dominion over one quarter of the world. And as the twentieth century dawned, political power was changing rapidly. Britain had lost face in the Boer Wars in Africa and needed heroism and success to bolster its image abroad and its people's faith in the government and military as Germany, France, and the United States were becoming arch competitors.But the book is mostly about science and adventure under the most brutal conditions. At one point Scott and Shackleton dock near an ice floe and decide it's time to use a hot-air balloon to get a better view of the landscape ahead. In this totally unpeopled land, Scott rides up into the air and views the vast white expanse. For most of us, such a view would provoke sheer terror. And Scott himself was a little nervous in the little bamboo basket. I kept thinking, what if he falls out. Read more »
Singing is one of the best activities children and caregivers can enjoy together. Singing promotes a love of music in young children and helps build early literacy skills by breaking words down into small pieces. The library is a great source of wonderful songs for early childhood in books, CDs, Books on CD, and DVDs. A particularly good source of engaging songs for preschool and young school-aged children are the materials by Dr. John Feierabend. Look for his books in the Parent-Teacher Resource Room. Adults who spend time with small children will love The Book of Songs & Rhymes with Beat Motions . Here you will find songs, rhymes, and games that encourage moving with the beat. These rhymes and songs have been passed along for generations and are full of magic and imagination. You will also find CDs of songs collected by Dr. Feierabend in the Children's Audio-Visual collection.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. This isn't an anniversary to "celebrate", but such a pivotal conflict in our nation's history is certainly one to commemorate and learn more about through the amazing stories told by the people involved. Sarah Edmonds was one of those people. In the picturebook biography Nurse, Soldier, Spy: The Story of Sarah Edmonds, A Civil War Hero, we learn that when she was just 16, Sarah disguised herself as a man and ran away from her home in Canada to escape an arranged marriage. She came to the United States and assumed the name Frank Thompson. When the call came in Michigan for young men to join the Union army, "Frank" wanted to sign up as a way to thank the country she had been living in for the last three years. While the other soldiers teased Frank about her small feet, no one ever guessed that Frank was actually a woman. Read more »
This book describes my dream job, being a fire lookout out west. I could handle the wild creatures, the solitude, even the lightning strikes, but maybe not cleaning out the cistern after vandals pollute it. In the tradition of writers, Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder, Edward Abbey and Norman Maclean. Philip Connors leaves his job as a Wall Street Journal editor and while on vacation signs up on the spot to detect fires for the National Forest Service, or as he jokingly calls it "The National Forest Circus."

OK, here's my technique to get through these incredibly hot days. Wet your hair--I mean really soak your mane without drying it, fill a huge glass with ice cubes and read a book about the arctic or antarctic.

In a couple weeks, I get to visit the Adirondack region of New York State. (Can't wait!) On the way, we plan to stop at Niagara Falls. When I get there, I'll be thinking of a woman named Annie Edson Taylor, who in 1901, on her 63rd birthday, dared to cram herself into a wooden barrel and go over Niagara Falls! I had never heard of Taylor, but author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg brings her back to life in Queen of the Falls, the fascinating tale of a determined ex-teacher who wanted to make her mark on the world. Watch Van Allsburg talk about how he created this carefully crafted book here. Recommended for grades 1 and up.
I purchased a copy of The Daring Book for Girls for myself a couple years ago and was reminded of all the cool content it contains when I conducted a program this week featuring hopscotch games and jump rope rhymes. Perhaps I'm partial to this book since it was written by women who, like me, "were girls in the days before the Web, cell phones, or even voicemail. Telephones had cords and were dialed by, well, actually dialing." Today, you may have your own cell phone, email account and iPod, but certainly a deck of cards and a good book should still be included on the list of "essential gear" you keep close at hand. In The Daring Book for Girls, you'll find the rules for playing card games like "Hearts" and "Gin" as well as the rules for outdoor games like Four Square, various games of tag and hopscotch - a game that was initially played by Roman soldiers and is now played in countries around the world.

I'm trying to find a wine shop around Chicago that wells Arbois vin Juane. I've checked the big guys (Binny's) and some smaller ones with inventories on their sites, but haven't been able to locate it. Has anyone seen it anywhere? Even restaurants where I can track down the distributor?
I am not aware of any local shop selling this. Try this http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku...

What is a Good app that does FULL image backup&restoration NOT INCL ACRONIS
I'd like to know what Good apps are available that do FULL image backup & restoration, including individual pieces if necessary (i.e. by file) THAT AREN'T ACRONIS.
Any suggestions?

I would say the most talked about here is Macrium Reflect. I don't think the free version allows for individual file restoration per se, but it allows you to mount an image as a drive and then you can copy the file or files you want to other drivers.
One that has been discussed recently is EaseUS Todo Backup. The previous discussion seems to indicate version 3.0 seems to be more reliable than the just released 3.5.

I'm not having any problems with v.3.5. There ARE some problems restoring with the WinPE boot disc using USB 3.0, but that was true in v.3.0 also. EaseUS Todo Backup v.3.5 Free allows for complete disk & partition imaging, file & folder backup, with timed differential or incremental backup and automatic cleanup of out-of-date backups; much more flexible than the free edition of Macrium.

This thread is, by far, the least accurate one. There are 3 game modes, only one 'is competitive', yes. But who in heavens name would care about that when there are toxic player issues, balance issues and a bunch of bugs that havent been adressed yet? If they need to have a priority, that is game balancing and reworking old champions. Sivir and Yi have triangles for feet? Why bother when we can make another lame game mode no one will play seriously?!
Junior Member
how will you keep a game balanced with multiple game modes we might take a look at what would happen otherwise ok so darius is op in 3v3 so we nerfed darius well now he can no longer be played in 5v5 well **** what should we do?
You can definitely have different game modes. Sure the meta might change, and along with it, the preferred champs, but at it stands right now, there are blatantly superior choices for every lane anyway so um yeah.
Bumpity bump.
You keep bumping as if it will help your cause? You have -50 on your original post for a reason. There is no need or interest in creating a new competitive game mode because they will end up unplayed similarly to Dominion and Twisted Treeline. Player interest lies in Summoners rift and will continue to which is why its the competitive field and focus in LoL.
Who doesn't like the new and exciting skins that Riot games have to offer? I love this idea; it adds a new spin to your favorite Summoner and provides an opportunity for the game to make a little money via Riot points. These skins are also a way for fans to have an input on the game and express their brilliant ideas (Oscar the Grouch Nunu FTW). I completely see what you are getting at; I think the 3 lane approach works best for this game this sets up an odd number of lanes with more Summoners than lanes. An option would be to do more lanes but that would take a lot from jungle and support characters and possibly have to push games to additional summoners. With this said I dont see any other formats changing the competitive scene, LoL has backing worldwide for their format it may be simple but it works explicitly. Every time Riot adds a champion this opens up hundreds of new character combos pairing that with items the possibilities are endless (as far as composition). Creating a slew of new characters can be detrimental to a season (if the learning curve is too high) but this can also level the playing field for newer characters. This also makes it harder for casual gamers to engage in these characters with prices being so high. On the other hand I do love the champion rotation for sampling. I do have several ideas for mapping... i will be posting some of my ideas soon if you are interested

The size of China's population and it's potential market size, is of increasing interest to the international wine companies as the industry takes on a more global focus. However, this market also poses many problems. In the first place, many businessmen are concerned with how these potential consumers will react to a product which has a rich tradition in the west and is very different to their own fermented and distilled wine products. Further complications are the sheer size of the potential market, the cultural diversity of the population, the rapid economic changes, the inherent business culture and the disorganised nature of the distribution chains.

How come I am the only one I know of that knows of the world called dreamworld in Candy Crush? I cant even find anything about it listed anywhere on the web.
I know! A friend of mine showed me that but I couldn't find it on my screen. I let him use my PC and logged on CC, he was able to get to DW in CC on my PC but when I tried, nothing showed up as an invitation. So Not Fair! I've been waiting on new stages. I demand some answers!!!!
Nov 28 2013. 02:10
I just logged into Candy Crush thru facebook and was introduced to this new Dreamworld of levels. It seems like a whole new game within a game, all new levels with new twists, etc. Doesn't show up on mobile verison on my iphone yet though, must be to new of a feature? I hope they push this thru to the iphone also, i mostly play there.

I come here to complain about 2 things: first I got to level 500 and so far have not released new levels. After talking with a friend, I learned that Candy Crush Saga has launched a new level with a síbolo OWL with several different phases, only it does not appear to me any owl. Please enable it to me. I can not stand to stay playing in phases I've gone through. I appreciate the attention you all.
Nov 28 2013. 16:08
Venho aqui para reclamar de 2 coisas: primeiro que cheguei ao nível 500 e até agora não lançaram novos níveis. Depois que, falando com uma amiga, fiquei sabendo que o Candy Crush Saga lançou um nível novo com um síbolo de CORUJA com várias fases diferentes, só que para mim não aparece coruja alguma. Por favor, habilitem para mim. Não aguento mais ficar jogando em fases que já passei. Agradeço muito a atenção de todos vocês.

Peru's private pension funds have shaken off losses from the global crisis and are now experiencing sustained growth. Assets are projected to double in four years.
by Lucien Chauvin Perus pension funds (AFPs) managed $25.6 billion at the end of April, up from $23.9 billion at the end of 2009, according to the banking and insurance regulator (SBS). This represents a full recuperation from the lows of the global financial crisis, which helped drag private pension system assets down to $15.6 billion at end-2008.
At $25.6 billion, assets managed by Perus four AFPs are equivalent to 18% of GDP and 75% of internal savings. Flecha says research carried out by the APPF determined that investment by AFPs contributed nearly one point to Perus accumulated GDP growth in the past decade....

The film is part of Cartoon Network's "Stop Bullying: Speak Up" initiative.
(Photo: Courtesy StopBullyingSpeakUp.com)
On Sunday evening (March 18), President Barack Obama delivered a message to kids on anti-bullying for the debut of To SPEAK UP Against Bullying, a 30-minute film about bullied youth that aired on Cartoon Network. The documentary is part of the network's "Stop Bullying: Speak Up" campaign and included appearances by 8-to-13-year-old kids who've been bullied as well as athletes and role models like Venus Williams, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Hope Solo and others.
Obama, who's admitted that he was also harassed in the schoolyard when he was younger, held the first White House conference on bullying last year and launched stopbullying.gov to provide information on prevention. According to the White House, an estimated 13 million children are bullied each year.
"Bullying is not a rite of passage or harmless part of growing up," Obama said. "It's wrong. Its destructive and we can all prevent it."
The movie aired just two days after former Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi was found guilty of charges in connection to spying and bullying his gay roommate, Tyler Clementi, who later committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge in 2010.
Another upcoming documentary, Bully, will also bring the harsh realities of bullying to the big screen. It's slated to be released March 30, but its producers are trying to lower its current PG-13 rating so more children can watch the film.

Needs some Tweeking!!
By Theresa

I ordered in the Eggplant. By their size chart I fit the size S. I liked the color and cold shoulder look, however I found it to be short in the rise & the shoulder seemed to pull at the rise also. It didn't have that relaxed, flowing look or feel to it. Leg length should b longer too.I also noticed the side hems from calf down were bunching in the fabric so it didn't hang that niceI think it's a small fit. I'm 5'7 & weigh 132 & I think I should've gotten a M for a better fit.Sadly I decided to return it.

My jumpsuit arrived super fast! I opened the box in anticipation, this was my first Tiana B. item, and we all know how difficult it can be to purchase when item isn't tried on. Not disappointed! It fits like a glove, comfy, and looks so elegant, looks as it could be a few hundred dollars. I was afraid the material would cling but it just drapes perfectly, I am sold on this line! Please bring more jumpsuits in different colours and styles....Tiana B is my new fav!
