Nov. 6 has come and gone, and President Barack Obama has been re-elected for the next four years. And yet I see no singing or dancing in the streets. For the most part, it appears that the anticipated joy and happiness that was suppose to result in his re-election has been replaced by grievous disappointment and gloom and doom rhetoric.
Since the Nov. 6 election, I've heard lots of conservatives throwing tantrums and behaving like spoiled children.
Four more years of the same old, same old, except you will see rising taxes, gas prices, food prices and consumer goods prices. There is no sense in stressing out over this debacle since the majority must like socialism and a welfare state like the Soviet Union.
President Barack Obama was re-elected and would hope that our national, state and local elected leaders would accept this historic fact as a second opportunity to help bring our country together and work for the common good of all of the American people.
As we remember the many sacrifices of our military this Veterans Day, we should also consider the upcoming generation and what our nation can do to help ensure our long-term national security.
Recently, I was at the National Archives and saw the hand-printed documents our country was founded upon. I cannot describe to you the emotion, the sense of honor and respect, the call to duty that seeing those frail papers firsthand produces in each and every heart.
America has become Rome, and there is no doubt that we will suffer the same fate.
The election is over and the people have spoken.
Today, America is a lost nation. Lost by its own will, lost by turning its back on God, lost in itself.
While the middle-class economy, Social Security, the environment and various other justice issues are of grave concern, the primary issue for me in this election was health care.
I received a letter from my insurance company today; they are canceling my homeowners policy, and before you jump to conclusions, I pay my premiums on time. No, this has to do with a fire rating in my area.
This is for the families of fallen heros of the Korean War and from Hall County: The Korean Vets Memorial that was unveiled Saturday at Rock Creek Veterans Park was a very touching program. The Korean Veterans of Georgia are to be commended for their dedicated and hard work and for their vision in remembrance.
We must be clear that a no vote on constitutional amendment No. 1 regarding charter schools is not a vote against charter schools. It's a vote in support of the ability of our locally elected and accountable Hall County school officials to make those local public charter school decisions. Public charter schools are already in existence in Hall County and are an important offering to our community.
I would like to thank everyone who put their time and effort into erecting the Korean War Memorial, which is slated to be dedicated on Saturday. My uncle, Howard Donald O'Kelley, is one of the men to be honored. He was killed on May 19, 1951. He was only 20 years old at the time. I never knew him, but he is and always will be remembered by our family.
Thank you for publishing an opinion by Eugene Elander from Dahlonega in The Times Friday ("Election choice should not be about morality.") By doing so, you have demonstrated your belief in the First Amendment to our Constitution.
As chairman of Hall Progress 2015, I am writing to express my support for SPLOST VII. I want to encourage our community to make a strong showing at the polls. Early voting began on Feb. 23 and continues through March 13.
On Feb. 27, Gainesville lost one of its most outstanding citizens, Deke Richards.
Thank you, editors of The Times, for publishing The Associated Press article "Antarctica's retreating ice may transform Earth" in Saturday's edition, Page 3D. What an understatement!
Hall County voters will be asked on March 17 to approve SPLOST VII, a special purpose local option sales tax that includes funding for the purchase of books and renovation of the library's main branch in Gainesville.
After participating in the Georgia Water Coalition's Capitol Conversation Day on Feb. 18 as a member of the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, I want to urge our community to support the ongoing efforts to protect and care for Georgia's water resources.
RE: Jonah Goldberg's article from Feb. 17: Goldberg used the words "liberal journalists" who try putting down religion by resurrecting Darwin's "Theory of Evolution." He went on to say "Darwinism is used to 'otherize' certain people of traditional faith."
What is being indecent? The dress codes of today's society are so different and let go than those of the past.
On Feb. 21, a front page piece in your paper headlined "Poor bear brunt of sales tax hikes." On Sunday, the lead piece on the Opinion page was "Voters should approve special sales tax."
The proposed updating of Hall County's Emergency 911 system, as outlined in the Sunday issue of The Times, offers a golden opportunity to install an emergency call system which really meets the needs of area residents and travelers.
Several years ago, I decided to try these new fluorescent bulbs that had caused such a fuss. So, the next bulb that went out at my house, I removed the old incandescent bulb and replaced it with the new experimental fluorescent bulb.
Lots of people want the Electoral College to be abolished, and to establish term limits on our officials. In some cases that might be a good thing. I sure can think of lots of people in our government I'd like to toss out!
Few people take an active interest in government affairs, though I challenge each reader to give me one example where government is not involved in your life, directly or indirectly. I have asked that question since 1986 and have yet to receive a viable answer.
If it weren't so tragic, the Obama legacy could be described as a soap opera, with U.S. international policy changing daily like the scripts and players change on the soaps.
Thank you, C.L. Abercrombie, for the lovely article about a lovely lady, Lorena Collins. I had the privilege of having Lorena by my side Monday afternoons at the South Patient Tower Information Desk at Northeast Georgia Medical Center for a year and a half. She proved to be as knowledgeable and capable as any employee, and wonderful company. I am blessed to know her, and so glad you "introduced" her to your readership!
My father served for over four years on a mine-layer ship during World War II. He came out as a first class petty officer. My uncle fought the Japanese as a machine gunner during World War II. He came out as an E-6. I served during the Vietnam conflict. I came out as a captain.

Secrets of Comedy... Revealed!
I like to think that I'm somewhat good at writing, because on semi-regular occasions I have received cash payments for my services. It's almost like how garbagemen are hired based on how far they can throw bags of human waste; someone obviously thought that I had a skill which others lacked. I tend to leave the human waste hurling to trained professionals, or for special occasions like birthday parties of people I don't like, but I do know a little about being funny that I will share with the 2% of you who chose to read The Daily Dirt.
How to be funny:
Watch the following:
Avoid the following:
Yes, there are books you should read and avoid, but you've obviously discovered the internet, making books irrelevant! From here on, you just need to follow my advice for about ten years, all while spending an appalling amount of time alone. You may develop severe emotional problems and chemical dependencies, and also grow to hate everything that surrounds you, but at least you can say "I am a writer for the Internet" before the orderlies notice that you chewed through your restraints again. And whether you're being held down while sedatives are injected into your arm, or finishing another bottle of Uncle Daddy's Feelgood Juice on your own time, you can thank me for helping you make it that far. Thanks, me!
Next Time, on THE DIRT
In the next exciting episode of The Daily Dirt, I will be giving advice on pets, relationships, and pet relationships, even if no one sends in questions! But please send in questions so I don't look like a dummy! Just e-mail [email protected], and you may find yourself part of the next marginally exciting installment of... THE DIRT!

Smells are surer than sounds or sights
To make your heart-strings crack--
They start those awful voices o' nights
That whisper, " Old man, come back! "
That must be why the big things pass
And the little things remain,
Like the smell of the wattle by Lichtenberg,
Riding in, in the rain.
There was some silly fire on the flank
And the small wet drizzling down--
There were the sold-out shops and the bank
And the wet, wide-open town;
And we were doing escort-duty
To somebody's baggage-train,
And I smelt wattle by Lichtenberg--
Riding in, in the rain.
It was all Australia to me--
All I had found or missed:
Every face I was crazy to see,
And every woman I'd kissed:
All that I should n't ha' done, God knows!
(As He knows I'll do it again),
That smell of the wattle round Lichtenberg,
Riding in, in the rain!
And I saw Sydney the same as ever,
The picnics and brass-bands;
And my little homestead on Hunter River
And my new vines joining hands.
It all came over me in one act
Quick as a shot through the brain--
With the smell of the wattle round Lichtenberg,
Riding in, in the rain.
I have forgotten a hundred fights,
But one I shall not forget--
With the raindrops bunging up my sights
And my eyes bunged up with wet;
And through the crack and the stink of the cordite
(Ah Christ! My country again!)
The smell of the wattle by Lichtenberg,
Riding in, in the rain!

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Malibu homeowners struggling with $20 million plan to save celebrity beach from erosion
MALIBU, Calif. - Malibu's celebrity haven of Broad Beach is struggling to survive as nature chews away at the shoreline and a $20 million effort to replace sand appears to be stuck in the mud.
Homeowners have run up against opposition and complicated approval processes as they pursue a plan to dredge sand from elsewhere and dump it to restore the 1.1-mile (1.8-kilometre) beachfront, the Los Angeles Times reported.
In recent years, winter storms and rising high tides have reduced the formerly broad beach, where Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman and others have their beach houses.
Waves sometimes lap up to an 8-foot (2.4-meter)-high 4,100-foot (1,250-meter)-long emergency rock wall that state regulators allowed homeowners to build about three years ago to protect dozens of multimillion-dollar homes.
"The (wall) is perilously close to certain homes," said Kenneth A. Ehrlich, an attorney for the homeowners. "The homes are certainly in danger. ... There's no beach right now that anyone can enjoy."
Steve Levitan, co-creator of the TV series "Modern Family," recalled taking family strolls on the beach but said he now plans walks to avoid high tide.
With the reduced footage, "surfers can't get out to the good surf spots, and the homeowners can't get there, either," he said. Residents are proposing a $20 million project to dredge tons of sand and transplant it to restore the dunes and shoreline, both public and private.
Manhattan Beach blocked plans to use its sand, and residents now are considering using sea-bottom sand from Dockweiler Beach in Los Angeles.
However, the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors has objected, saying the sand might be needed to restore other public beaches as sea levels rise.
For years, Broad Beach was the subject of feuding between homeowners and the public over access. At one point, security guards were hired to patrol the beach, and sunbathers contended they were harassed.
In 2005, 108 property owners took tons of sand from the public beach and packed it up into a berm on their property. The work was ordered halted by the California Coastal Commission.
When the commission permitted residents to build the $4 million wall, it ordered residents to come up with a stabilization plan that must take effect by 2015.
Homeowners said they have spent about $5 million so far for scientific studies and regulatory approvals but they have not yet completed a formal proposal for the coastal and state lands commissions.
"We have faced a bureaucratic nightmare in attempting to accomplish this project," said Marshall Grossman, a lawyer with a retreat on Broad Beach. "One would think we were attempting to build high-rise condos on a public beach."
Even if Broad Beach residents get their sand, such erosion-fighting measures are going to remain an issue in the future.
"As sea level rises, it's only going to get more challenging to figure how to deal with that," said Charles Lester, the coastal commission's executive director.

Storage hypervisors were a 2012 popular buzzword bingo topic with plenty of industry adoption and some customer deployment. Separating the hype around storage hypervisors reveals conversations around storage virtualization and virtual storage.
Cloud and virtualization components
Storage virtualization along with virtual storage and storage hypervisors have a theme of abstracting underlying physical hardware resources like server virtualization. The abstraction can be for consolidation and aggregation, or for enabling agility, flexibility, emulation and other functionality.
Storage virtualization can be implemented in different locations, in many ways with various functionality and focus. For example the abstraction can occur on a server, in an virtual or physical appliance (e.g. tin wrapped software), in a network switch or router, as well as in a storage system. The focus can be for aggregation, or data protection (HA, BC, DR, backup, replication, snapshot) on a homogeneous (all one vendor) or mixed vendor basis (heterogeneous).
Here is a link to a guest post that I recently did over at The Virtualization Practice looking at storage hypervisors, virtual storage and storage virtualization. As is the case with virtual storage, storage virtualization, storage for virtual environments, depending on your views, spheres of influence, preferences among other factors what you call a storage hypervisor will probably vary.

Cloud data governance was previously an avoided function when cloud deployments were relatively small. With the rapid adoption in public cloud – both rogue and sanctioned, it's not uncommon to find regulated data dumped into public cloud and unprotected. This is why enterprises and cloud providers alike need to embrace a cloud data governance function and map policies, processes and technology controls accordingly.

Predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and Internet-of-Things analysis are examples where Hadoop provides the scalable storage, processing, and analytics platform to gain meaningful insights from granular data that is typically only valuable from a large-scale, aggregate view. One architecture useful for capturing and analyzing streaming data is the Lambda Architecture, representing a model of how to analyze rea... Mar. 6, 2015 02:00 PM EST Reads: 1,584 |
By Liz McMillan Today's enterprise is being driven by disruptive competitive and human capital requirements to provide enterprise application access through not only desktops, but also mobile devices.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty Mar. 6, 2015 11:15 AM EST Reads: 990 |

Joseph's grandfather made him a wonderful baby blanket that becomes worn, but Joseph knows his grandfather, a tailor, can fix it.

2014's Hottest Enduro Mountain Bikes
Felt Virtue Nine
17 / 18
Not all enduro bikes are slacked-out bombers. Felt's Virtue Nine bikes have 130mm of travel and 69-degree head angles, which should make them a bit more agile-feeling (particularly at low speeds) and improve traction in uphill switchbacks. Felt's Equilink suspension is on display in the Virtue: It's a short, dual-link design with a rod that connects the upper and lower links. This, Felt says, "separates the opposing drivetrain and suspension action," for a more efficient ride. Felt offers a Virtue Nine carbon frameset for $3,500 and complete bikes range from the $2,200, aluminum-frame Virtue Nine 60 to the $6,200, carbon-frame Virtue Nine 1.

Middle EastPalestinian girl dies in Gaza raid Israeli attacks comes as the military prepares for military action in the territory if Egyptian mediation fails. 11 Jun 2008 15:59 GMT Israel says it is preparing for possible military action in Gaza if mediation efforts should fail [AFP] Mediation effortsMark Regev, an Israeli spokesman, said that the government was in "support of Egyptian efforts" to mediate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since it seized full control of the territory last June. Your Views Should Hamas and Fatah reconcile?Send us your views"The security cabinet decided this morning to support Egyptian efforts to achieve calm in the south and to end the daily targeting of Israeli civilians by the terrorists in Gaza," Regev said. "In parallel, the security cabinet has instructed the military to continue its preparations in the unfortunate event that the Egyptian track should prove unsuccessful." Hamas was dismissive of the Israeli announcement. "The Israeli occupation itself says it is preparing a large operation in Gaza, which demonstrates that its declarations on a truce are neither realistic nor serious," Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying. 'Heavy punch' David Chater, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Jerusalem, said that Israel is "preparing for a heavy military incursion into the Gaza Strip". "Many ministers are saying ... that it's important that Israel should launch a heavy punch against Hamas before any truce is concluded," he said. "The security cabinet met for about four hours ... the decision is, apparently, that the Israeli's will continue to explore the options created by the Cairo initiative for the six month Gaza truce. "So one hand is being held out towards peace, towards the idea of a truce, while the other one is a bunched up fist ready to hit Hamas and the Gaza Strip hard." Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 but still maintains a harsh blockade on the territory. It has in the past restricted fuel deliveries to Gaza, resulting in widespread and protracted power cuts. Gaza violence The Israeli government has made it clear that its agreement to a truce remains conditional on making progress towards the release of Corporal Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held by Hamas for the past two years. But even as meetings in Egypt got under way, the violence in Gaza continued. An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said the tank that killed nine-year-old Alfnere had opened fire on Palestinian fighters who were firing rockets into Israel near the Gaza-Israel border. "Israeli ground forces opened fire Wednesday morning on terrorists operating near Khan Yunis, around the security barrier," he said. The incident occurred close to where Palestinian fighters fired 30 rockets into Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli military said. A member of Hamas's armed wing and another Palestinian were killed in the same area, and later a fourth Palestinian was killed in a separate Israeli air raid. Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Construction of an odds model of coronary heart disease using published information: the Cardiovascular Health Improvement Model (CHIME)
Centre for Health Informatics and Multiprofessional Education, University College London, Archway Campus, Highgate Hill, London, N19 5LW, UK
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making 2008, 8:49 doi:10.1186/1472-6947-8-49
Published: 31 October 2008Abstract
There is a need for a new cardiovascular disease model that includes a wider range of relevant risk factors, in particular lifestyle factors, to aid targeting of interventions and improve population models of the impact of cardiovascular disease and preventive strategies. The model needs to be applicable to a wider population including different ethnic groups, different countries and to those with and without cardiovascular disease. This paper describes the construction of the Cardiovascular Health Improvement Model that aims to meet these requirements.
An odds model is used. Information was taken from 2003 mortality statistics for England and Wales, the Health Survey for England 2003 and published data on relative risk in those with and without CVD and mean blood pressure values in hypertensives. The odds ratios used were taken from the INTERHEART study.
A worked example is given calculating the 10-year coronary heart disease risk for a 57 year-old non-diabetic male with no personal or family history of cardiovascular disease, who smokes 30 cigarettes a day and has a systolic blood pressure of 137 mmHg, a total cholesterol (TC) of 6.2 mmol/l, a high density lipoprotein (HDL) of 1.3 mol/l, and a body mass index of 21. He neither drinks regularly nor exercises. He can give no reliable information about his mental health or fruit and vegetable intake. His 10-year risk of CHD death is 2.47%.
This paper demonstrates a method for developing a CHD risk model. Further improvements could be made to the model with additional information. The method is applicable to other causes of death.

UrbanTile solar-powered displays, developed by Meidad Marzan.
In the summer of 2008, Simone Giostra and Arup unveiled a head-turning architectural installation on the occasion of the Beijing Summer Olympics. According to the architect, GreenPix—which collected energy from sunlight during the day and used it to power a giant multicolored media display at night—was the first zero-energy media wall for buildings.An industrial designer with Jerusalem-based Bezalel Academy of Art and Design has developed a GreenPix-like solution that may be easily adapted to existing structures. Meidad Marzan's solution, called UrbanTile, is an adjustable shading device that absorbs solar power during the day and utilizes the energy for nocturnal lighting needs. UrbanTiles may be tilted at various angles in order to maximize energy absorption and minimize glare for building occupants, and this rotation can be incorporated as an effect in moving illuminated OLED displays on the reverse side at night.Like any technology, UrbanTile could be used for good or for ill. Positive uses would include nighttime task lighting or building-wide emergency lighting. Negative uses would result in entire urban skylines accommodating flashing Times Square advertisements (although in Japan, this could be interesting). In any case, both Giostra's and Marzan's projects demonstrate the extent to which low-powered illumination is becoming an increasingly important consideration in architecture and urban design.

I could make these things so easily when I was a kid. Now, I'd have to look up directions and it'd still come out looking like a mess. I guess I'll just have to settle for the eternal red/blue possibility.

Aware Software Powers Biometrics-Enabled Visa Applicant Screening System
BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading global provider of biometrics software and services, today announced that several Government of Canada departments and agencies have deployed Aware software as part of a new biometrics-enabled visa applicant screening tool. The tool uses biometrics to help screen applicants from certain countries who apply for a visitor visa, study permit or work permit. It helps to cross-reference the applicant's identity against existing criminal and immigration records. The tool utilizes Aware's Biometric Services Platform (BioSP™), as well as Universal Registration Client (URC) and related COTS APIs. BioSP is a modular, centralized, service-oriented application that is used to implement workflows and manage data exchange between the various government departments. URC is a biometric enrollment application that operates on hundreds of workstations at border checkpoints, consulates, and visa service centers globally to collect biometrics from potential visitors. Aware served as the principal subcontractor to Fujitsu Consulting ( Canada) Inc. on the project.
"The new Canadian tool exploits the full capabilities of Aware's BioSP and URC products in terms of their robustness, functionality, and flexibility," commented Rob Mungovan, Vice President at Aware. "The project's success further establishes the products as a leading biometric visa applicant screening solution, and also illustrates their suitability for use by integrators to quickly deploy an advanced solution that meets specific customer requirements."
Aware will provide demonstrations of its software products in its booth at ICAO's Ninth Symposium and Exhibition on Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTDs), Biometrics, and Border Security taking place October 22-24 in Montreal.
About AwareAware is a leading provider of biometrics software products and development services to governments, system integrators, and product suppliers globally. Aware's software is used to enable identity-focused security solutions with advanced image and data processing functionality for applications including border management, credentialing and access control, intelligence and defense, and law enforcement. Aware is a publicly held company (Nasdaq: AWRE) based in Bedford, Massachusetts.

Safe Harbor WarningPortions of this release contain forward-looking statements regarding future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as estimates or projections of future revenue and earnings and the growth of the biometrics markets. Aware wishes to caution you that there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results indicated by such statements. Biometric factors include, but are not limited to: market acceptance of our biometric technologies and products; changes in contracting practices of government or law enforcement agencies; the failure of the biometrics market to experience continued growth; announcements or introductions of new technologies or products by our competitors; failures or problems in our biometric software products; delays in the adoption of new industry biometric standards; growth of proprietary biometric systems which do not conform to industry standards; our ability to sell services contracts in a manner that is consistent with our business model; our ability to deliver service contract milestones; and our dependence on third party contractors and consultants to deliver certain services contract milestones.

Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. I used the framing method. I should have used a bigger piece of paper because my lighthouse was too short.
Hello janek1111, One thing that may be of use for you is to use the Albertian Veil on the reference drawing as you would use it to look at an actual landscape. This will help you plan the spatial structure and also help you analyze the composition. By this, it is mean that you will not make elements of the drawing, for example the lighthouse, too tall or too short. It would be a good idea for you to redraw this using the Albertian Veil and a Measure Stick. I look forward to seeing the post of your next image.

DPW Going To Screen Our Cargo At Ports
DPW Going To Screen Our Cargo At Ports
In a failed amendment to the emergency-spending bill, Mr. Schumer tried to force all ports participating in the Container Security Initiative -- that's more than 40 of the world's busiest ports including Singapore, Rotterdam and Tokyo, among others -- to model their cargo-screening systems after Hong Kong's if they want to keep sending cargo to the United States. Beyond its bullying unilateralism, this would have ended up handing much of the country's foreign-cargo screening records to Dubai Ports World.

Outsourcing, External Collaboration, and Innovation Among U.S. Firms in the Biopharmaceutical Industry
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper examines the outsourcing patterns of U.S. firms in the biopharmaceutical industry. Data from an exploratory survey of 86 companies suggest that the outsourcing of strategic activities such as applied research and formulary development has started to decline among firms of all sizes, though noncore activities such as manufacturing and clinical trials continue to be outsourced at an accelerating pace. The data suggest that there is no correlation between outsourcing and innovation performance, but that external collaboration supports innovation in positive ways.
