But Dali was a genius too. So when Fernandez draws the comparison, he sets the bar high.
I'd been all atwitter to get over to La Barraca since one of the owners sent New Times a letter protesting our choice for Best Tapas Bar in 2006. George Beza implied that we didn't know our tapas from our tuchis. "We would like to invite any food critic from New Times to come and experience for himself our true flair and originality," the letter said. So I was looking forward to eating crow along with many little plates of Serrano ham, Spanish sausages, grilled octopus, and warm goat cheese. If we'd completely missed the boat, ignorantly misleading the tapas-starved public of Broward and Palm Beach, I figured it was my solemn duty to set the record straight. As it was, critics at other papers had been gushing over Fernandez's food for years; he'd received "best" awards all over the place. Even a 3-year-old review in New Times had waxed ecstatic over the virtues of the original, much smaller, La Barraca in Plantation particularly when Fernandez refused to serve our critic paella del monte because he had only frozen rabbit on hand and he was such a stickler for cooking his game absolutely fresh! With sinking heart, I perused Barraca's press: I was going to have to swallow my pride and squeeze my ever-expanding bulk into the old hairshirt: Evidently, I was due to take some licks.

And 200 people can't be wrong, right? La Barraca holds that many raucous revelers in its new location; they turn the place into Bedlam on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. By the time the Flamenco show starts at 9, the place is jammed with every variety of tapas-muncher imaginable. Show up for an early supper at 7 and the rooms are so empty they echo. But you'll have a ringside seat when the party people show up an hour later: extended families, gaggles of teens, toddlers with parents, moony dates, birthday parties, singles drinking at the bar. Sixty-five percent of the diners appeared Latin the night we went, and about 50 percent were drop-dead gorgeous, which should have been a good sign. By the time the Flamenco show got started, La Barraca was so full of high-test octane that it could have chugged a couple of blocks on its own steam. Fernandez, in his white chef's jacket, hair flying, was prancing around the noisy room, rolling his eyes and whipping up the crowd like a mad conductor at an orchestral climax, the maestro in his element. I only wish he'd turned all that wild energy on his kitchen.
The menu at La Barraca looks terrific. There's a gigantic selection of hot tapas: baked goat cheese with herbs, brandied lamb chops, warm Spanish sausage, chicken breast in sherry. You can have scallops with almonds and saffron, or cuttlefish in garlicky olive oil "essence." Prawns, crab cakes, sea bass, octopus, mussels, calamari you're in good shape if you like seafood. As for the cold tapas, there's a traditional tortilla española, white anchovies cured in vinegar, Manchego cheese, Serrano ham. Each little dish is priced from $7.75 to $9.75 (a plate of olives is a bargain at $4.50).
These prices are fairly reasonable when you consider that they include the show. We ordered one hot and one cold tapas plate each and put in our request for the paella del monte; all the paellas need 40 minutes' advance notice.
La Barraca has a warm vibe, although the tables are crammed so close, you're virtually in your neighbor's lap. The walls are umber; bottles of Spanish wine, bags of Calasparra rice, and musical instruments decorate the center divide between the bar and the main room. The staff is lovely; practically the entire house stopped by our table at least once to say hi, make a mild joke, be charming. We were teased, jollied, paid attention to. We felt loved.
But true love is in the details, isn't it? And the details at La Barraca could use fine-tuning. Oh hell, let's just call the fight right now the details need a complete overhaul. First off, the bread is terrible. If you took a ream of photocopy paper, ground it into fine flour, soaked it in pond water, and threw it into the oven, you might end up with a better loaf of bread, particularly if you slathered it with sweet, fresh butter. But the only thing available to spread on the bread-like substance at La Barraca is a small tub of half-rancid, over-refrigerated herb butter. I have a bad feeling about this butter. The flavor of it makes me imagine things that couldn't possibly be so.

JOHN YDSTIE, host: The Obama administration is planning to review the cases of 300,000 illegal immigrants who are facing deportation. Cases involving convicted criminals would be labeled high priority. Low priority cases would include people who don't pose a security threat. The policy could make a big difference for thousands of undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. Sarah Gonzalez with the State Impact Florida Project reports.
SARAH GONZALEZ: Melissa is a high school student in Central Florida. She came to the U.S. from her native Honduras with the help of smugglers when she was seven years old. She has no criminal convictions, though her attorney didn't want us to use her real name. When Melissa heard the White House announcement, it gave her hope for the future.
MELISSA: It's kind of more like, okay, you won't be afraid of they're going to send me back. It's a pretty good thing. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel sure of what I'm doing now.
GONZALEZ: Life over the past six years has been a struggle for Melissa. She got caught in an immigration raid and recently lost her political asylum case at the highest level she could appeal to. That's when she was told she had to go back to Honduras.
MELISSA: I gave up everything. I didn't care about school. To me it was like, okay, I lost everything here. There is no one over there that I can make proud. My whole family is here.
GONZALEZ: She is the only person in her family without legal status. She was recently granted permission to stay in the country for one year, and that might happen for more people like Melissa. The White House announcement formalizes a policy of tolerance for undocumented immigrants with no criminal record, but critics say it does more than that. Kristen Williamson is with the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that wants tougher enforcement on illegal immigration. She says the Obama administration is bypassing Congress to loosen immigration laws.
KRISTEN WILLIAMSON: They're telling everyone in making it public that any illegal alien without a criminal record is now allowed to stay in the country and apply for a work Visa.
GONZALEZ: Not true, says Cheryl Little with the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center. She says the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not in removal proceedings and they can only qualify for temporary status if they're facing deportation.
CHERYL LITTLE: I'm concerned it's going to provide false hope that truly meaningful change is forthcoming. Those who have been placed in deportation proceedings now have some hope that they can get a work permit and a valid driver's license, while those who have not are out of luck.
GONZALEZ: In a way, Cheryl says Melissa is lucky she's in the system because now she can temporarily live in the U.S. lawfully. For NPR News, I'm Sarah Gonzalez.

Fergie and actor husband Josh Duhamel will be adding another pea to their pod.
The 37-year-old Black Eyed Peas frontwoman tweeted [1] a pregnancy announcement on Monday, writing:
Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!! #mylovelybabybump [2] instagram.com/p/V4enzQEDJs/ [3] twitter.com/Fergie/status/… [4]
— Fergie (@Fergie) February 18, 2013 [1]
PHOTOS: Fergie's Fashion Evolution [5]
Duhamel, her 40-year-old 'Safe Haven' star hubby also announced the news on his Facebook page [6], writing "Fergie and Me and BABY makes three. #MyLovelyBabyBump," along with the same photo. The couple married in Malibu on January 10, 2009 after five years of dating. Duhamel told a reporter [7] last summer after the death of the couple's beloved dog Meatloaf that they would "focus on our human baby first" before finding another family pet. Looks like mission accomplished.
The child will be the first for the couple.

"I know I've found a new key to my post-ride recovery. After each ride, I take a recovery drink with me into the shower, clean off and then put the ice wraps on while I cook and eat."-- Phil Gaimon, 24, rides for Kenda Pro Cycling
Pro Ice® Lumbar/Lower Back Insert-Large (Accompanies PI 720)
Extend icing relief with an additional insert for the PI 720, Lumbar/Lower Back Wrap (Large). Additional inserts lengthen the cold therapy available for back pain, making it especially beneficial for acute injuries, those whose job requires heavy lifting, athletes who need ice between games or those who are in intense pain. It has numerous applications in sports medicine or physical therapy rehab. This insert also can replace a punctured, damaged or lost insert, without the need to buy the entire wrap, making Pro Ice a cost-effective solution way to reduce swelling, especially when compared to cold compress solutions.
Pro Ice holds constant at 27 degrees, until it is liquid, up to an hour when applied. Whether the reusable ice wrap comes out of a freezer or one of our cooler bags, it is ready for after a game or practice. That guarantees full therapeutic value, under the widest variety of real-life conditions. Additional inserts can lengthen the icing time and provide yet another benefit over gel ice packs. Pair with one of our cooler bags for the ultimate in portable pain relief.
Pro Ice was created in 1991 with athletes in mind, but now delivers non-toxic pain relief to anyone who hurts or who ices for preventative care. Each component of the Pro Ice Cold Therapy Products has been designed with the ultimate sports medicine care while contributing to the goal of optimal icing. The cover is made of Veltex, a patented, insulated loop fabric that will not fray. It directs the cold, limits condensation and lasts. The cryoblanket ice insert fluid is FDA-approved, food-grade and nontoxic. The proprietary mix melts slower than 100% water products and ice, rendering it ideal for remote usage. The windowpane format does not slump or thin, whether applied vertically or horizontally, even under compression, giving uniform distribution of cold. Elastic compression straps keep the wrap in place allowing variable compression where needed for personalized comfort and pinpoint application on trouble spots, while allowing the user to remain mobile and still ice. Pro Ice Cold Therapy Products are ready wherever and whenever needed.

Cannes Film Festival will open on Wednesday evening, with many of the film world's most bankable stars expected to attend over the course of the following 11 days.
Hollywood's finest, including Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz and Mel Gibson – in addition to Depp, Jolie and De Niro – will rub shoulders with independent directors and rising stars from around the world.
Woody Allen's romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, starring Owen Wilson and Marion Cottilard, will open proceedings tomorrow. The film has attracted some attention for featuring French First Lady Carla Bruni, although she earlier ruled out attending the festival.
The opening ceremony will also see Italian film director Bernardo Bertolucci presented with the inaugural Honorary Palme d'Or.
European favourites Pedro Almodovar and Lars Von Trier face stiff competition for this year's coveted Palme d'Or prize for best film – notably from early bookies favourite Terrence Malick, whose film The Tree of Life is his first entrant in the main competition for five years.
Four women directors are also up for the Palme d'Or, including Scotland's Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin) and Japan's Naomi Kawase (Hanezu No Tsuki), who came runner up for the Grand Prix award in 2007 (for The Mourning Forest).
2011 has been billed as a return to form for the glitz and glamour of Cannes, after festival general delegate Thierry Fremaux had been criticised in recent years for a supposed lack of star attractions.
He said he was confident that this would not be the case for Cannes 2011:
"There is a very strong buzz and great expectations. America is very present this year. The studios are back – professionals, agents. They are everywhere in the hotels."

It appears that despite the fact Christmas has come and gone, Sony is still very much in the giving mood. Right now, it's offering a free 80GB PS3 if you purchase a select Sony HDTV with the Sony Card. We're not sure exactly why, but something smells a little fishy here.
For the most part, Sony is offering up its Bravia line and a few of its rear-projection models in the deal. And since Sony may be dropping support of its rear projections anyway, you might want to choose a Bravia if you're serious about the deal.
To apparently make the deal a little sweeter, you won't have to pay interest for the first year. However, if you don't pay it off within that time frame, the interest, which is at 14.49 percent, is retroactively tacked on. We're not sure how many of you are without a PS3, but this could be one alternative if you expect to come into a healthy sum of money once a rich relative "kicks the bucket" in the next year.

US 5734575 A Abstract The present invention features a method and apparatus for detecting and enabling the clearance of high impedance faults (HIFs) in an electrical transmission or distribution system. Current in at least one phase in a distribution system is monitored in real time by sensors. Analog current signature information is then digitized for processing by a digital computer. Zero crossings are identified and current maxima and minima located. The first derivatives of the maxima and minima are computed and a modified Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is then performed to convert time domain to frequency domain information. The transformed data is formatted and normalized and then applied to a trained neural network, which provides an output trigger signal when an HIF condition is probable. The trigger signal is made available to either a network administrator for manual intervention, or directly to switchgear to deactivate an affected portion of the network. The inventive method may be practiced using either conventional computer hardware and software or dedicated custom hardware such as a VLSI chip.
Claims(8) 1. A method for detecting high impedance faults on a power line of a high voltage distribution system, comprising:
a) sensing a plurality of cycles of current attributable to a power line in a high voltage distribution system and generating a signal representative thereof; b) detecting changes in cycle-to-cycle positive and negative peaks of the waveform of said current; and c) initiating an event only when said changes, demonstrating behavior characteristic of high impedance faults, are detected. 2. The method for detecting high impedance faults on a power line in accordance with claim 1, wherein said initiating step (c) results in operating a circuit clearing device.
3. The method for detecting high impedance faults on a power line in accordance with claim 2, wherein said clearing device is a clearing device disposed along said power line.
4. The method for detecting high impedance faults on a power line in accordance with claim 1, wherein said initiating step (c) results in operating an indicating device.
5. A method for detecting high impedance faults on a power line of a high voltage distribution system, comprising:

Description This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/141,308 filed on Oct. 22, 1993, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,537,327. The invention pertains to the detection of faults in an electrical power system and more particularly, to the detection of high-impedance faults in power transmission and distribution systems caused by downed conductors, tree limbs across conductors and the like. In the electrical power generation and distribution industry, monitoring transmission and distribution networks for fault conditions is very important. The term distribution network is used herein to refer to any electrical power transmission or distribution facility. Moreover, a fault condition is any abnormal (unexpected) current-conducting path in a distribution network. Fault conditions often present danger to people and property. They also waste electrical energy. One type of fault is a bolted (short-circuit) fault of one or more legs of a distribution network to another leg thereof or to ground. This type of low-impedance (low-Z) fault condition is easily detected by conventional circuit overcurrent protective devices such as fuses or circuit breakers. In other words, a complete short circuit (a low-impedance path) usually trips a circuit breaker or blows a fuse. A circuit of the distribution network experiencing such a fault condition is quickly removed from service until such time as repairs can be effected (i.e., until the fault is cleared). Another type of fault condition occurs when an unintended high impedance (high-Z) conductive path occurs between transmission line legs or between one leg and ground. Such high-Z paths may occur when a tree limb or the like falls across a transmission line or when a single leg of a transmission line breaks (due to ice or wind, for example) and touches the ground. Generally, a single conductor of the distribution network dropping to the ground will not create a short circuit, but will continue to allow current flow at a relatively low rate. Such current flow often causes arcing. This condition presents a great danger of electrocution to people or animals happening across the downed conductor. The arcing can also result in fires. A problem constantly plaguing the electrical power industry is finding an effective way to differentiate between a high-Z fault (HIF) condition and similar effects caused by changes in the loads attached to the distribution network. In addition to load switching events, power factor correcting capacitor banks are frequently switched on and off the network and transformer taps are automatically changed to keep the network voltage constant. Both of these events also create conditions on the network which may appear similar to an HIF condition. Any effective system for detecting HIFs must be able to distinguish fault conditions from normal load switching events. A system which ignores legitimate HIF conditions risks the aforementioned dangers while a system which falsely trips in response to normal load switching events can wrack havoc with consumers relying on uninterrupted electrical service. Interruption of electrical service to certain manufacturing processes, for example, may destroy work-in-process and result in large expense to the manufacturer. An interruption of medical apparatus can also be inconvenient at best, and disastrous at worst. HIF detection solutions as simple as lowering the trip points of conventional circuit protective devices have been tried. Because HIF-drawn current is often a very small percentage of the total network current, this solution has done nothing more than cause excessive service interruptions. Most HIF research has focused upon the problem of finding detectable differences in measurable parameters in a distribution network under HIF and normal load switching conditions. Some of the parameters measured and compared have included phase current, ground current, ratio of ground current to positive sequence current, and frequency spectra--both near line frequency (typically 60 Hz.) and at higher harmonic relationships to line frequency. One system with potential for detecting HIFs is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,795 issued to Frederick K. Blades, titled "Method and Apparatus for Detecting Arcing in Electrical Connections by Monitoring High Frequency Noise". Blades discloses a system wherein high-frequency noise caused by arcing is detected and, when measured above a pre-programmed threshold level, trips a circuit protective device. While the Blades system is intended for residential branch circuit uses, it is representative of a class of HIF detection strategies relying on high-frequency noise for use in power distribution networks. These techniques have not proven effective in the detection of HIFs, since noise generated by HIFs varies widely in both spectrum and intensity. In addition, capacitor banks, automatically switched on and off the network for power factor correction, tend to short the high-frequency noise signals to ground, adding additional uncertainty to the detection and analysis process. Another approach to HIF detection is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,621 issued to Richard T. Dickens, titled "Line Disturbance-Monitor and Recorder System". Dickens discloses a system comprising analog current and/or voltage sensors placed at selected positions in a distribution network. Analog signals from the detectors are digitized by analog-to-digital (A/D) converters and presented to a high-speed digital signal processor (DSP) as digital sample words. The DSP computes both the real and imaginary phasor components of the operating parameter or parameters. These phasor components are then used to calculate various measures of power transmission performance according to known phasor equations. Trigger means implemented within the DSP provides an output signal when pre-programmed limits of a measured or calculated quantity are exceeded. Memory in cooperation with the DSP captures and stores digital sample words associated with abnormal events for future analysis. The Dickens apparatus appears to be expensive to build and, even with a state-of-the-art DSP, the system may only detect HIFs with well-known characteristics. Each installation on a network may have to be individually calibrated to the characteristics of that network and, as the loads changed on the network (e.g., by adding or removing power customers), the system would have to be re-calibrated. A third approach to HIF detection is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,878,142 issued to Sten Bergman, et al., titled "High Resistance Ground Fault Protection". Bergman discloses a system for analyzing the non-harmonic components of phase currents. A estimate of Fourier coefficients is computed, thereby transforming the time-domain information into the frequency domain. Both the original digitized signals and the transformed frequency domain signals are applied to detection circuitry. Logical decisions based on comparison to known fault parameters are made and a fault-indicating trip signal is provided when appropriate. The Bergman system suffers from many of the same shortcomings as the aforementioned Dickens system. The Bergman system must be calibrated to each network and re-calibrated when the load profile on the network changes. Yet a fourth HIF detection system is described in "A Neural Network Approach to the Detection of Incipient Faults on Power Distribution Feeders", paper No. 89 TD 377-3 PWRD, S. Ebron, D. Lubkemen and M. White (1989). That HIF detection system relies on the monitoring, digitization, and comparison of voltage and current conditions in the distribution network. The mechanism for deciding whether an event is an HIF or a normal load switching event is a partially or fully-trained neural network. The 200-node neural network described by Ebron et al. is trained using data obtained from a computer-simulated distribution network using the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) by Systems Control, Inc. Data is collected for ten cycles (two subsequent zero-crossings going from negative to positive) of simulated operation. Digitized data is pre-processed to extract features such as peak transient current over three phases, and phase currents immediately before and after the occurrence of a detected transient. The extracted feature vector representing ten cycles of simulated network operation is then applied to a neural network. The network, once at least partially trained, then identifies patterns in the data as either HIF or normal load switch events. A trigger signal can be generated when an HIF is detected. It is therefore an object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for monitoring an electrical power distribution network and for distinguishing HIF conditions from normal load, capacitor bank or transformer tap switching conditions with extremely high accuracy. It is a further object of the invention to produce a system self-adaptable to a variety of networks and one that need not be calibrated for changes in load on the network. It is still a further object of the invention to provide a self-contained, low-cost, single-chip hardware implementation of the inventive method for use either as a standalone HIF monitor, or as an integral part of a circuit-interrupting device for completely self-contained fault clearing. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method and apparatus for detecting and clearing high impedance faults (HIFs) in an electrical transmission or distribution system. Current in at least one phase in a distribution system is monitored in real time by sensors. Analog current/voltage signature information is then digitized for processing by a digital computer. Zero crossings are identified and current maxima and minima for each cycle located. The first derivatives of the maxima and minima are computed and a modified Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is then performed to convert time domain to frequency domain information. The transformed data is formatted and normalized and then applied to a trained neural network, which provides an output trigger signal when an HIF condition is probable. The trigger signal is made available to either a network administrator for manual intervention, or directly to switchgear to deactivate an affected portion of the network. The inventive method may be practiced using either conventional computer hardware and software or dedicated custom hardware such as a VLSI chip. A complete understanding of the present invention may be obtained by reference to the accompanying drawings, when taken in conjunction with the detailed description thereof and in which: FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the pre-processing steps of the method of the present invention; FIG. 3 is a program listing of the pre-processing commands; FIGS. 4a and 4b show block diagrams of alternate hardware embodiments of the present invention; and FIGS. 5a and 5b, respectively, show fault detection probability without and with first derivative calculation. Generally speaking, the invention relates to the field of fault detection in electrical power transmission and distribution systems and networks. It should be understood that the terms "power distribution network" or "network" are hereinafter used to refer to any alternating current electrical transmission or distribution system or facility. More specifically, there is disclosed a system for the identification of high-impedance faults (HIFs) which is capable of differentiating with high accuracy fault conditions drawing as small a current as 200 mA in a power distribution network. HIF conditions may, however, draw currents as high as 700 amps. The system is applicable to both single-phase and poly-phase networks. Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a functional block diagram of the present invention. A portion of a typical three-phase power distribution network is shown generally at reference numeral 10. Phase conductors 12a, 12b and 12c of distribution network 10 each are monitored by current transformers 14a, 14b and 14c, respectively. Since current transformers are well known in the art, it should be noted that any current transformer or transducer capable of generating a low-noise analog signal representative of the current may be employed. Typically a Model No. MF12540 MF slip-over bushing current transformer manufactured by Associated Engineering Corp. could be used. The HIF detection system of the present invention could be used effectively to monitor a single phase network or a single phase of a poly-phase distribution network. Analog signals representing phase currents from phase conductors 12a, 12b, and 12c monitored by current transformers 14a, 14b and 14c are provided to inputs of an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 16. A/D converter 16 is a three or more channel device with 12 bit resolution, typically a Model No. DAS-50 manufactured by Keithley Metrobyte. Sampling rate is approximately 5 kHz. Digitized representations of analog phase currents are applied from A/D converter 16 to a pre-processor 20 via data bus 18. Pre-processor 20 performs several mathematical and data formatting operations described in more detail hereinbelow. Pre-processed data is then applied to the input of a trained artificial neural network (ANN) 22. An ANN is a computer model of the parallelism and interconnectedness of the human brain. Connectionist models exist which have the ability to derive "rules" by analyzing patterns. The ANN differs from more conventional expert systems or general artificial intelligence approaches in that the latter require the existence of well-defined rules as a prerequisite for effective operation. The training of an ANN is the process whereby the ANN learns to associate input states to output states by adjusting weights and biases. In the training mode, the expected or desired outcome based upon the applied data is used. If training data covering a broad enough range of conditions is provided, the ANN eventually self-develops a pattern relating inputs to outputs allowing it to analyze any applied unknown data. A trained ANN is therefore highly effective at pattern recognition tasks. That is, pattern recognition is accomplished at extremely high speed and with a high probability of a correct outcome, based upon the applied data. Training the ANN 22 is necessary to establish the "rules" or weights to be used to classify events occurring on the network as HIFs or normal switching events. Training is accomplished by providing multiple sets of known data representing both HIF and normal network conditions to the ANN 22 along with the correct "answers" corresponding to each data set. Data sets my be compiled using computer simulation techniques or may consist of actual field-collected data corresponding to both fault and no-fault conditions of distribution networks. Actual field-collected data and superposition combinations of field data were used to train the ANN 22 of the present invention. Over 300 sets of field-collected and super position data were used for the training. A typical training data set consisted of 2860 data points representing 10 seconds of sampling time on a real or simulated network. Digitization frequency was 5000 samples/second. The training data sets were pre-processed essentially as will be described in detail hereinbelow. The backprapogation of errors method was the learning technique chosen to train ANN 22 of the present invention. A learning rate of 0.05 and a momentum (a method of changing weights based on a previous weight) of 0.1 were chosen. Once trained (i.e., appropriate weights established), an ANN my be duplicated and distributed and applied in its intended application as a fixed-weight (non-trainable) ANN. In the preferred embodiment, ANN 22 comprises 386-MATLAB software version 3.5M from Mathworks, Inc. operating on an IBM� compatible personal computer under the Microsoft� DOS operating system version 5.0 or greater. ANN 22 continuously analyzes data from pre-processor 20 and provides an output signal 24 which indicates either a normal condition or an HIF. Signal 24 may be used to alert a network administrator (not shown) of a potential HIF by means of indicating/recording devices 25a and/or 25b. Optionally signal 24 may be utilized directly to clear the assumed fault by sending a trip signal to a protective circuit interrupter 25c or 25d as is well known in the art. Refer now also to the flow chart of FIG. 2 and also to the program listing of FIG. 3, which represents the code applied to ANN 22. In learning mode operation, pre-processor 20 first accumulates approximately 5000 digitized current data points for each line phase 12a, 12b and 12c being monitored. This represents approximately one second of network operation, step 50. Cycles are identified by their zero-crossing points. Zero-crossing points are identified in the data for each phase conductor 12a, 12b and 12c. This is accomplished by calculating when the current crosses from negative to positive sign. The maximum and minimum current for each cycle is determined, step 52. The first derivative (i.e, the rate of change with respect to time) of the maximum and minimum current values is then taken, step 54. It has been found through experimentation with both simulated and field recorded data that calculating the first derivative is essential to the process of accurately detecting HIFs. For purposes of illustrating the importance of the first derivative in detecting a high-impedance fault, refer now also to FIGS. 5a and 5b. There are shown bar graphs of ANN output (relative value or relative HIF probability) vs. time for a 10 second period for an actual HIF condition occurring on a single phase of a 13 kV three-phase transmission line (not shown). For this fault, the phase B leg of the transmission line was dropped onto ice. Series 1 data shows the faulted condition while Series 2 data shows the line under no fault conditions. In FIG. 5a the first derivative has not been calculated and, as may be seen, there is little difference in the relative value of Series 1 or Series 2 data. In FIG. 5b, identical data is plotted. However, the first derivative has been calculated, and consequently there is pronounced difference in the output of the ANN 22 in response to the HIF (relative value of the Series 1 data). A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is then performed on each of the two first derivatives, step 56 (FIG. 2). Next, a power spectrum is computed for both positive and negative currents, step 58. This is accomplished by taking the product of the FFT with its complex conjugate. Total power is calculated by summing the power spectrum for the one second data window, step 60. The positive and negative summed powers are then averaged, step 62. The averaged power thus calculated is then formatted and scaled for compatibility with the non-linear transfer function of the trained ANN 22, step 64. This is accomplished by representing each one second averaged power as the number of standard deviations from the average Z-scaling. The steps are repeated continuously, if additional data is processed, step 66, starting again with step 50. Processing terminates, step 68 when all data has been exhausted. Referring to FIGS. 1, 4a and 4b, a fault indicating output signal 24 is generated by trained ANN 22 and provided to signaling/recording or fault clearing devices 25a, 25b, 25c and 25d. These signaling/recording and/or fault clearing devices are well known in the art and may be configured in any suitable combination. A visual indicator or audible annunciator 25a are used to alert operating personnel (not shown) of the presence of a fault. This fault indication may prompt action to clear the fault by manually deenergizing the faulted line. A recording device 25b such as a digital fault recorder, well known in the art, may also be attached to monitor output signal 24. In other installations, a remotely trippable circuit breaker 25c or other electrically actuatable fault clearing device 25d may operate automatically upon receipt of the fault indicating output signal 24 to clear the faulted line. Alternate embodiments of the present invention may be implemented wherein the entire A/D converter 16, data pre-processor 20 and ANN 22 are implemented as a dedicated self-contained device. FIG. 4a shows generally, at reference numeral 30, the functions of A/D converter 16 (FIG. 1), data pre-processor 20 and ANN 22 all implemented using a commercial microprocessor 32, A/D chip(s) 34 and a commercial EPROM 36 customized with all necessary program instructions. FIG. 4b shows an embodiment where A/D converter 16, data pre-processor 20 and ANN 22 are all implemented as a single VLSI chip or equivalent chip shown as reference numeral 40. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the VLSI or equivalent chip may be packaged as part of a fault-clearing or circuit protecting device. Output from the HIF detecting circuit chip would then trip the circuit protecting device directly. In still another embodiment of the present invention, input data leading to an HIF determination by the ANN 22 would be captured and stored. Such data would then be used either to further train other ANNs (not shown) or, in cooperation with other analysis software not part of the present invention, to create a set of heuristic "rules" in a form usable by more general expert systems. An expert system (e.g., a "fuzzy logic" inference engine) using rules so derived could replace the ANN 22 as the HIF decision-making component of the present invention. Since other modifications and changes varied to fit particular operating requirements and environments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the invention is not considered limited to the example chosen for purposes of disclosure, and covers all changes and modifications which do not constitute departures from the true spirit and scope of this invention. Having thus described the invention, what is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is presented in the subsequent appended claims. Patent Citations

WHAT: An infrastructure-as-a-service solution for the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division.
WHY: The Criminal Justice Information Services Division is a big part of the brain of the FBI. The CJIS includes databases for the National Crime Information Center, Uniform Crime Reporting, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which is used for instant background checks on gun buyers. The CJIS systems are tasked by local, state and federal law enforcement officials for crime stats, info on suspects and other data.
The data centers at the CJIS headquarters in Clarksburg, W.Va., could be in line for an upgrade. The FBI put out a request for information about an on premise commercial cloud solution to provide application support and storage. The agency is looking for a system with a petabyte of usable storage, and with 76.8 terabytes of RAM with the ability to scale to 2.3 petabytes. The FBI is seeking all the flexibility associated with a commercial cloud product – scalability, multi-tenant options, rapid provisioning, and pay-as-you-go – but with hardware on-site and with the FBI having control over operating systems and security. The FBI is also interested in information from vendors on how an on-premise cloud could be expanded using existing CJIS hardware.
The FBI isn't on the hook to acquire a system, but it is seeking responses to its RFI by July 25.

The 3 Elements of Fire (fuel, heat, and oxygen):
FUEL Is any combustible substances which will burn when heated to its ignition temperature or made hot enough to burn with the presence of O2.
The three forms of fuel are solid, liquid, and gas. Solid such as wood, paper, or mattress Liquid such as gasoline or any other types of petroleum products. Gas such as acetylene and or LPG
HEAT The three ignition of heat are Flash Point, Ignition Point, and Fire
Flash Point is the temperature of the substance at which it will give off vapours sufficient to form an ignitable mixture. Ignition Point (Ignition Temperature) is the temperature at which the vapour being off by a substance will ignite spontaneously in the air. Fire is a substance lowest temperature and which vapour being giving off by a material can be ignited and continue to burn.
The Three Heat Transfer is the Radiation, Conduction, and Convection. Radiation is an emission of rays in all direction through all medium. Conduction is a heat transfer through direct contact. And Convection is a heat transfer when heated particles of gasses goes up.
OXYGEN Comes from the air we breath, and air consist of 21 percent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen and other elements. If oxygen can be dilated below 12 or 15 percent, fire will be extinguished.
Class "A" Fire Characteristics are solid material fire, deep seated fire, and leaves ash or embers (paper, wood, and cloth). The Extinguishing Agents are water and CO2 Water in solid stream high or low velocity fog. CO2 if small cases or small spaces which can be flooded.
Class "B" Fire Characteristics are flammable liquid fire, surface burning and leaves carbon (fuel, oil, paints, etc.) The Extinguishing Agents are foam, or CO2 Foam in either mechanical or chemical CO2 in small spaces which can be flooded.
Class "C" Fire Characteristics are electrical fire (transmitter, electronic equipments, motors and generators) The Extinguishing Agents are CO2, and PKP CO2 as Carbon Dioxide, a non-conductor of electricity PKP but may cause damage to electrical equipments.
In case of electrical fire, the danger of electricity should be eliminated first when handling this case of fire. De-energize the circuit before progress is made to fight the fire. Do not attempt to use water in combating this kind of fire to avoid danger of electrocution.

Or click the link to go back to main 1st page (page 1) http://expertscolumn.com/content/solas-everything-about-fire-fighting-and-fire-prevention-board-ship-or-vessel-page-1
Class "D" Fire Characteristics are metals or special hazard fire. Most of them are metallic substances or in form. Some are generate their own oxygen while it is burning. It does not react to common fire fighting techniques and procedures (magnesium, thermites, sodium, and phosphorous).
The Extinguishing Agents are magnesium, thermite, sodium and phosphorous. Magnesium as dry sand and powder graphite. Thermite – no known extinguishing or jettison it overboard or keep it moving with solid water until burnout. Sodium – dry soda ash, sodium chloride or salt, sand, earth or PKP. Do not use water on sodium fire because sodium decompose in water and liberate hydrogen or create heat which will cause explosion. Phosporous – no known extinguishing agent (jettison or bury it).

Cease-Fire Takes Hold In Ukraine — After Last Minute Jockeying For Territory
Kiev accused rebels of trying to seize as much territory as possible before both sides are due to halt fighting.
Kiev accused rebels of trying to seize as much territory as possible before both sides are due to halt fighting.
Up to 10,000 people are reportedly fleeing the area to escape the violence.
Talks between Ukraine and separatists lasted a mere four hours Saturday.
Four government servicemen were killed in the last 24 hours of fighting in the city, according to Ukraine's military.
The president is again pointing the finger of blame at Moscow for the latest breakdown in the cease-fire between Ukraine's government and Russian-backed rebels.
Pro-Russian rebels unleashed a barrage of rocket fire against the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol Saturday. The rockets killed at least 30 civilians.
At least 30 civilians are dead after rocket fire rained down on a new front in eastern Ukraine. Moscow appears to be using the offensive to extract a new settlement from Kiev and the West.
The strategically important site has been a focus of fighting for quite some time.
"We are afraid that the West doesn't want to finish this." Moderate Syrians are worried strikes will leave them vulnerable to extremists.
Witnesses reported seeing explosions and rocket fire late Saturday.
And maybe not even that.
"Do you want the Manpad that you supplied to the opposition to be the one that shot down the Malaysian airplane?"
Users of the subreddit First World Anarchists, keep fighting the good(ish) fight.
Residents hope the worst is over for Slovyansk after a brutal, weeks-long siege. But the struggle for east Ukraine is far from over.
In the eastern city of Donetsk, friends and neighbors have transformed into enemies, and people on both sides of the conflict worry that there's no way out from a slide to civil war.
Photographer Goran Tomasevic won first prize at the World Press Photo Contest in the "Spot News Stories" category, recognized for his brutally intimate portrait of opposition forces in Syria. All photos were taken on Jan. 30, 2013 during a battle with government forces in Damascus. WARNING: Graphic content.
Islamist groups have recently captured key bases and interdicted supplies destined for the Free Syrian Army, putting the fate of the U.S.-backed force into serious question. "I think Western opposition policy is collapsing."
Islamist fighters pried key bases and warehouses from U.S.-backed rebels in northern Syria last week, causing the U.S. to suspend its assistance there. "We are obviously very concerned," a U.S. official said.
President Bashar al-Assad accused rebels of a deadly chemical weapons missile attack on Tuesday. Rebels rebuffed the claims and blamed the regime. At least 25 people died and more than 110 others were injured in the town of Khan al-Asal, Syrian state media said.
Announced this morning by Secretary of State John Kerry, the U.S. will for the first time give direct nonlethal aid to forces opposing President Bashar Assad.
Graphic photos of the slain dictator in a Misrata morgue. Not for the squeamish.
Cell phone footage of the moment Libyan revolutionaries found a bloodied Muammar Gaddafi cowering in a drainage pipe. According to The Global Post, the rebels are screaming "Don't kill him! We need him alive!" Officials with LIbya's National Transitional Council claim the dictator later died of wounds sustained in a gun battle.
Shouted by revelers in Green Square as Tripoli falls to the rebels, this is apparently a popular nickname among the Libyan people for the soon to be ousted dictator. Ya got burnt, Moammar! View Image ›
Al Jazeera is reporting that the dynasty and regime of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has fallen as rebels swiftly overtake the capitol of Tripoli, Gadhafi's last stronghold. Two of Gadhafi's sons have been captured by the freedom fighters, but the whereabouts of Gadhafi himself remain unknown. Regardless, his more than 40 years of autocratic rule in Libya appears to have come to an end. More as it develops. View List ›
The United States along with more than 30 other nations have ceased to recognize Gadhafi as the head of Libya instead recognizing the rebel forces as the new leaders of the country. The new government plans to be a democracy as of now so this is potentially great news. To celebrate here are some pictures of "sad Gadhafi." (via hosted.ap.org) View List ›

ResearchHow do organisms adapt to different environments? We are interested in understanding the genetic and molecular changes that take place as organisms adapt to different environments. Which genes change, what types of genetic changes occur, and how do these changes affect the organism at the biochemical, physiological, and ecological levels? Since plants are rooted in their environment, they are particularly adept at coping with their environment. Furthermore different species, and populations within species, have adapted to different environments. Therefore plants are well suited for studying adaptation mechanisms. Because light is fundamental to plant growth, we have focused on how plants sense and respond to environmental light cues. We are focused on light perception by the phytochrome photoreceptors. Phytochromes sense red and far-red light and provide information about the density of neighboring foliage (among other things). We work on Arabidopsis thaliana and related species and use a combination of molecular genetic, quantitative genetic, and molecular evolution techniques. Please see naturalvariation.org for information about some of our collaborators who are taking similar approaches. |

Amazon offloading Fire Phone stock with $199 off-contract price
Amazon isn't exactly setting the world on fire with its Fire Phone. We didn't think the "gimmicky and overpriced phone" was worth picking up in our review, and the company is doing away with the second part of that issue now, as it has dropped the off-contract price to US$199. Read More
Any tech enthusiast would be happy to get their mitts on an iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2, but if you are a real-life Goldfinger, this sweepstake will suit you perfectly. We're giving away two of Apple's finest machines to one lucky winner, and they are both in the classy shade of the world's most desirable precious metal. Read More
Most people would agree that Apple is really quite good at technology. Sadly, that expertise doesn't stretch — pun intended — to cables. Every owner of an iOS device has experienced the frustration of the ridiculously short wire that is supplied. The solution looks something like this 10-foot MFi-certified Lightning cable, which currently has 52% off. Read More
We first came across the idea of solar-powered Bluetooth headphones back in 2009. Five years later, the proliferation of Bluetooth LE and the capability of today's solar cells has given London-based startup Exod the tools needed to turn the concept into reality. With its Helios headphones, the company is dangling the prospect of a dangle-free listening experience in front of mobile music lovers. Read More
If you're constantly doing the same thing on your phone and you wish there was just a button you could press instead, then you're in luck. Flic is a wireless button that you can set up to do a range of tasks. Examples include controlling lights, snoozing a phone alarm, playing music and triggering photos. Read More
printWiFi enables secure mobile printing on non-wireless printers
Having a printer that can accept documents from a smartphone or tablet is great, but unfortunately, there are still a lot of legacy printers out there that can't print without wires. That's the problem that ImageTech is aiming to solve with its printWiFi and printUSB devices. Read More
While it's nice to have a smartphone with glass that won't break when jabbed or flexed, what most of us really need is glass that can survive being dropped. Corning's just-announced Gorilla Glass 4 is claimed to excel at just that. Read More

Jolla has thrown its hat into the tablet ring, announcing a brand new device that it plans to develop and fund with the help of a community of crowdfunding backers. The device offers both a competitive price point and specs in line with small tablet heavy hitters. Read More
If you're anything like me, the mere mention of "selfie phone" will be enough to make you run for the hills. But HTC's new Desire Eye is the rare novelty phone that backs up its niche focus with a damn good overall experience. Read on, for Gizmag's quick review. Read More

- Sorry about the previous comment. I'm feeling a little grumpy today, but I've had some coffee so I think this comment will turn out nice. For future reference, you should signature your work so that it does not look 'stolen'. I think my grumpy self's comment was supposed to be nice, as in "Wow, that looks so nice it's too good to be true!" Or something like that. I'm sorry.

"RICHMOND- On the Convict Trail" Richmond by balhannah
Richmond Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 60 photos
Richmond was proclaimed a town by Lieutenant Governor Sorell in 1824.
The village was once a key military post and convict station, strategically
located between Hobart and the infamous Port Arthur penal settlement
and actually predates Port Arthur.
I found Richmond a wonderful place to wander around, so many historic
old buildings, and many Galleries, plenty of interest here!
It is home to Australia's oldest bridge, and has more than
fifty 19th- century Georgian buildings, many now are bed & Breakfasts,
offering high-quality accommodation.
You can walk across Australia's oldest bridge, built by convict labour
between 1823 and 1825.
Another must is a visit to the Richmond Gaol (1825), Australia's oldest jail,
what a terrible time you had if you landed in here!
Inside is a 'MAN TRAP'....I wouldn't want to be caught in one of
them! to me, it looked like a large Rabbit Trap!
Have a look at the cemetery of Australia's oldest remaining Catholic
Church, St Johns, built in 1836.
I love cemeteries, and this one IS OLD!
You'll get the most out of Richmond by wandering its streets. then relax
on the banks of the Coal River with a picnic, feed the ducks, and take in
the beauty of the area.
For much of its history it was the main gateway to the east coast and the Tasman Peninsula, (Port Arthur)
If you are travelling to these destinations from Hobart, consider visiting
Richmond on your way.
Richmond is 30-minutes' drive (24 kilometres/15 miles) east of Hobart along the B31.
- Pros:A delightful town full of history
- Cons:Nil
- In a nutshell:Learn about the early days of settlement in Australia

More memories of a favourite holiday. I do have photos of Richmond, I was there in 2005 for the Sydney to Hobart yacht Race. Best scallop pie in the world was at Richmond. Yum!
My kind of place Dee. Absolutely charming! I would love to roam such a historic place. Wonderful page!
Wonderful photo of the bridge! They should do the miniature village in some of our historic cities, seeing how many of our historic structures are now gone.
What a delightful place Richmond appears to be! Loved the historic significance of the Richmond Bridge, the old jail, and the old cottages.

Trains, planes, and automobiles are going to be packed with historians over the next two weeks – the Organization of American Historians kicks off its 2013 Annual Meeting in San Francisco this Thursday, April 11, and the National Council on Public History opens its conference in Ottawa next Wednesday, April 17.As always – even with the slow-motion jobs crisis in history and the humanities in general – young men and women crazy enough to pursue (or dream of pursuing) advanced degrees in history will flock to the conferences for the first time, with starry-eyed hopes of meeting the rock stars in their fields, making connections (hopefully of a non-scandalous nature), presenting their first paper in front of an academic audience, or maybe even closing the deal on that juicy tenure-track position (after all, the phone interview went really well!).

Abstract | Translational fidelity, essential for protein and cell function, requires accurate transfer RNA (tRNA) aminoacylation. Purified aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases exhibit a fidelity of one error per 10,000 to 100,000 couplings. The accuracy of tRNA aminoacylation in vivo is uncertain, however, and might be considerably lower. Here we show that in mammalian cells, approximately 1% of methionine (Met) residues used in protein synthesis are aminoacylated to non-methionyl-tRNAs. Remarkably, Met-misacylation increases up to tenfold upon exposing cells to live or non-infectious viruses, toll-like receptor ligands or chemically induced oxidative stress. Met is misacylated to specific non-methionyl-tRNA families, and these Met-misacylated tRNAs are used in translation. Met-misacylation is blocked by an inhibitor of cellular oxidases, implicating reactive oxygen species (ROS) as the misacylation trigger. Among six amino acids tested, tRNA misacylation occurs exclusively with Met. As Met residues are known to protect proteins against ROS-mediated damage, we propose that Met-misacylation functions adaptively to increase Met incorporation into proteins to protect cells against oxidative stress. In demonstrating an unexpected conditional aspect of decoding mRNA, our findings illustrate the importance of considering alternative iterations of the genetic code. |
