The Graphite Series 230T case features a sculpted, aggressively styled steel exterior with color coordinated LED intake fans and a tinted side panel window. Inside, the matte black interior has plenty of room for multi-GPU configurations and mass storage with seven expansion slots along with four 2.5", four 3.5", and three 5.25" drive bays. The case also includes dual 120mm LED front intake fans and a rear 120mm exhaust fan, and has mounts to add two 120mm or 140mm fans on the top and a 120mm or 140mm fan on the bottom.

1 hour later when I am done the dates are mangled. The data I pasted from the other file has dates such as "334382" instead of "6/20/2012"
.csv is a crap exenstion.
I hate shit that assumes it is smarter than you. Case in point spreadsheets. They think they know better than you.
I use spreadsheets everyday. We are using Excel to dynamically pull statistics data about our DB2 system and chart it so we can see trends both hourly and daily and in a few weeks monthly as well. Pivot charts are SOOO COOL!
Excel really only likes .csv that itself saved. Anything else and you will prolly get something weird. Changing it to.txt allows you tell excel how the data is formated. I understand file extensions, i was talking in the contex of the thead which was about Excel.
I am in fact doing all that stat consolidating in DB2. The tables hold just the data we want to look at.
As a dude who gets paid to deal with Access databases and their baggage... Please stay away. Don't do it.Eventually, the process you've made gets to be business-crucial. Then you get a promotion to the head office three states over. Or get hit by a milk truck. Or retire.Then when Access craps itself, and if you don't think it does, you're deluding yourself, you're up a creek.
Access is great as a front end. Never use it as a back end though.

Very adequate hotel at a very competitive price. The room was clean, large, and comfortable. Breakfast was what you would expect at hotels other than Embassy Suites, but at +/- $50 less per night, it was far more than adequate. Will stay again next time in Little Rock.

2004 Audi A6 QuattroVisitor, Bethesda, MD, November 18, 2014 15:19Some plastic fittings on the front passenger seat have failed. Several painted surfaces on the headlight switch, mirror switch and heating and A/C controls have worn off. The radio on/off button has come off. The front suspension needs relatively frequent repairs. The roads are terrible around here. Water pump and oil cooler replace at different times. The latter repair VERY expensive.
2005 Audi A4Visitor, Bell, CA, July 16, 2014 04:14i have had so many problems with m car but i love it and will pay for whaever reapairs t needs
2014 Audi A6Visitor, Tucson, AZ, November 06, 2014 16:32Just an absolutely fantastic car. The technology is superior to Mercedes and Infiniti (both I have owned). Fun to drive. The V-6 engine has a supercharger which puts out an exhilarating ride without any turbo lag.
2002 Audi TTVisitor, Stanwood, MI, November 22, 2013 13:53Bought a CPO 6-spd 225 with 39K that was my daily driver until I reached 291,000 in 6 yrs. No engine problems but needed new control panel by 200K, routinely maintained at dealership, still running well when I sold it 6 mos ago.
2011 Audi TT QuattroVisitor, Avon, CT, March 23, 2014 16:182011 Audi TT Quattro Coupe: three times in 7000 miles I suffered through ignition coil failures. First time at 26000 miles, second at 31000, and third at 32000. Each was a different ignition coil, and all three were replaced under warranty. But, I was not told by the service rep at the Audi dealer that Audi recognized this as a continuing problem, until after the third failure. During the third service, the final two were replaced with the new part number, and I was "assured" that this would resolve my problem. If you own a 2011 TT, you might want to inquire of your dealer's service dept. about possible switching out of the old part number with authorized replacement part.
2005 Audi Allroad Quattrodarbs, Portland, ME, August 18, 2013 12:08Is this car pure sex or what!? I just love the styling of it, can stare at it's sleek & sexy lines all day! The passing power is wonderful as is the Quattro action whether rain or snow I feel secure. Yes the many dollars spent on maintenance & repairs and the turbo lag are so annoying, but I love my Allroad! Sorry to hear the new model lacks in power and has deleted the manual transmission means I won't be buying another.Rookie
2004 Audi A8 QuattroVisitor, Dallas, TX, April 29, 2014 22:47did you fix light. "on&off"
2001 Audi S4Visitor, Cincinnati, OH, March 24, 2014 13:08I have owned my 01 S4 Avant 6 speed for 5 years now. I bought it form the original owner with 120K miles on it with service records. My wife drives it daily and has 205K on it. The car still has original clutch, head gaskets, and turbos. Most repairs have been general maintance, but some repairs are costly. Some parts such as EGT sensors, O2 sensors and center driveshaft carrier bearing failure cost massive amounts of money. Although the timing belt kit wasn't to expensive, it still required 5.5 hrs of my time to install. I have owned every german car from vw to Porsche and our S4 is a top 3 favorite of mine. It is second to none in the snow. The downfalls of the car are keeping tread on the tires (3rd set now), expensive parts, and cluster display window not fully lit. Over all, I'm impressed with the S4 function and reliability and I would by another.
2006 Audi A3Visitor, Appleton, WI, March 03, 2015 07:26My commuter car, great in the winter, decent mileage. I have recently run into the 110k maintenance and the check engine light is coming on and having trouble diagnosing it. 1500 in and still comes on.
1991 Audi 90slineaudi, Greensburg, PA, July 07, 2009 17:16Nice car. Expensive when things break but, for a twenty year old car, it has great looks, efficiency, and ride quality!Enthusiast
1994 Audi CabrioletVisitor, Brooklyn, NY, January 29, 2012 12:47My 1994 Cabriolet has 63,000 miles. I purchased it new. Timimg belt has never been changed. When would you suggest changing it? What would be approximate cost?
1993 Audi 90 QuattroVisitor, Opheim, MT, November 21, 2012 14:10need a fair value price some one ran into the front bumper,left fender,left light& signal in fender.inswurance is writing it off because of its age.(800.00 offer)
2001 Audi S8Visitor, Flushing, NY, March 26, 2013 11:45electrical problems minor..check engine light and check air bag light always on in audi's.. always problems with emissions at inspection time
1993 Audi V8 QuattroVisitor, Ogden, UT, May 11, 2014 15:25What a machine! my 1990 v8 is the oldest yet its one of the best cars I have ever driven. Suspension is hard at lower speeds and the 0-60 figures are not impressive...and then you get past 60 mph and you realize exactly what this car is all about. SPEED! Definate autobahn car, its super well built and grip levels are insane! Steering is telepathic and allows to feeling road surface without it being annoying, it spacious, driving position is excellent and the bucket seats are to die for. That being said, really expensive repair costs. Its hard to find parts for and for a car this old you will have electrical issues. A definate keeper is you have the cash!
1994 Audi 100Visitor, Clear Lake, MN, November 25, 2010 13:41Other than Electrical issues, I love the vehicle.
2011 Audi S5Visitor, Clearfield, UT, October 26, 2014 22:04This car is so good!!!, I planned for two years to get one. I had an 01 A4 for 10 years and I loved this car from the day it came out. I have a 2011 premium plus titanium I got in Feb 2014. Driving this car is so much fun, and the build quality is awesome, with Audis flawless interior and the great 4.2 V8 it makes good noise. The grip is incredible, the only down side is the ride is a little rough if you have summer tires on it, but the fun more than makes up for it.
1991 Audi 200shotputdude, Orlando, FL, July 31, 2009 01:19The Audi 200 is a great car with plenty of power coming from a turbo charged 5 cylinder. The suspension is stellar and there is very little road noise. Overall a great luxury sports sedan.Enthusiast
2012 Audi A3 TDIVisitor, Eastport, ME, November 04, 2014 04:57Whats not to like. A splendid car all around for my needs. Doubles on a number of counts. Its roomy utility hatchback to carry a fair size load but stylish enough to take to a gala concert. It has both both great highway comfort, and nimble in city traffic attributes. Plenty of torque for highway entries, power to holdup at speed. No compromise when it comes to build quality, houses sensible group of interior features, very nice sun-roof with extended roof glass. All works very well, love the zone controls and heated seats. Distances its competitors on fuel economy and attention to ever so important eco-friendly/low emission feature. Can't think of any other vehicle that comes close to this excellent design.
1999 Audi A8rtgerdes, Sarasota, FL, April 17, 2009 13:54I purchased my 1999 Audi A-8 from a Chevrolet dealership in Minnesota in October, 2007. The car had 68,000 miles on it and now has 85,000 miles. The car is total luxury with the paint still in show room condition. The interior leather and all emenities are competive with a Lexus, Mercedes, Jaguar and BMW. It is superior to a Cadilac and Lincoln. The car originally came from Florida and I purchased it in Minnesota. It has endured one winter in Minnesota and performed on ice and snow better than all SUV's I have owned. There are is no rust or corosian anywhere. A tribute to the all aluminum body. The car has been in Florida near the ocean and in Minnesota with salted roads. The brakes have been checked by a dealer on 5 occasions and no repairs were needed. There is a problem with the torque converter or speed sensor. When driving in the city I have found it necessary to use the manual shift on the automatic transmission. This places the car in the correct gear without the surging back and forth. The "idiot light" for checking the engine is on most of the time now. A dealer that I do not trust told me the car needs $2,200 in repairs. They wanted to change the pan gaskets, valve cover gaskets and several seals along with changing the timing belt and speed sensor. I would like to know what my best and worst case senarios are on this repair. Everything else on the car is perfect, in show room quality.Enthusiast
2008 Audi S6Visitor, Rockville, MD, December 21, 2010 09:35Great car, power on hand all over, crisp handling and the paddle shifting is brilliant. A sleeper in the looks but look out, a beast on the hwy.

Top Five NASCAR Paint Schemes of 2012
Making a tribute to good ol' Rusty
Rusty Wallace is known as the driver of the "Blue Duece." First Kurt Busch took over his ride when he retired, but now Brad Keselowski is at the helm of the No. 2 machine for Penske Racing. When the sport arrived at Bristol in August, historically Wallace's best track, the team decided to sport a scheme in Wallace's honor and ended up looking great during the night race.
Ricky Bobby is back at Talladega
Talladega Nights was and still is a well-known movie by all NASCAR fans. The special scheme used at the end of the movie known as the "ME" scheme ended up making its on-track debut at Talladega in the spring. Kurt Busch and the Phoenix Racing team needed something that could hopefully spark up some sponsorship negotiations, so the team took the scheme from the movie and put it into reality with the help of Busch's girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll who is the President and Executive Director of the Armed Forces Foundation. The car was a hit at the race, especially when Busch drove through the pack to lead the race.
Only real men wear pink
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In NASCAR, there are several drivers who annually dress in pink and ultimately have their cars in pink as well. Michael Waltrip Racing's Clint Bowyer and his sponsor, Five Hour Energy, teamed up for four races to sport a special Pink Lemonade Five Hour Energy/Avon Foundation No. 15 Toyota. The car had a bright florescent pink look to it where the car is usually red which also brought Bowyer some luck as he had a win and two top-10's in the special paint scheme.
Where in David Ragan's car is Waldo?
Well, where is he? Where's Waldo? Did you find him? Hopefully you did because he was on David Ragan's hood at Martinsville in October. Front Row Motorsports teamed up with the publishers of Where's Waldo to sport a one of a kind paint scheme that ended up being a fan favorite as Lionel Collectibles even made a diecast car for the blue scheme as Waldo was at the beach, even though he was really in Virginia eating some good ol' Martinsville hot dogs.
A colorful world indeed for Michael Waltrip
If one could describe Michael Waltrip in one word, that word would have to be, colorful. Waltrip has been through a lot in his racing career, but he's been able to have a smile on his face for most of the time. At Talladega in May, one of the few races Waltrip competed in during the 2012 season, his sponsor, Aarons, held a contest for young races fans called the "2012 Color Your Way to Talladega contest." A nine-year old girl named Emery Beavis from Dyersburg, TN designed the car. The car had an entire assortment of colors and even a smiley face at the rear of the car. If only the girl would have painted over "Lucky."

NASCAR paint schemes are always a hit for race fans. The revenue that paint schemes generate can add up to millions of dollars, especially when they get involved with one of the most popular drivers that the sport has to offer such as a Dale Earnhardt Jr. or maybe even a Jeff Gordon. These schemes aren't just a pretty picture on a 3,400 lb stock car, they're pieces of art.
The design efforts that go into designing a paint scheme is intense. Painters such as Sam Bass take countless hours to make sure each square inch of the car is covered up to fit the team's desire. However, the paint scheme approval process has to go through the sponsors before they get approved to run on the racetrack.
Sponsors are very careful about how their logos are represented on the racetrack. That is why many fans that see a "rendering" of cars before the season begins as that means the scheme is simply not approved yet. This doesn't mean that the scheme won't be running, it just means that a few minor adjustments, if any, will be needed.
In the past, teams used to paint the cars with cans of spray paint and then paste the sponsor logos onto the cars, but that's changed. In the modern era of Motorsports, teams use technology to paint their race cars. They use a long process with wraps that are pasted onto cars that takes just a few hours to paste on and come out looking fantastic. Joe Gibbs Racing and Richard Childress Racing have several YouTube videos of a quicker version, or a "time lapse," of their cars getting wrapped. This process makes the cars go from just one color to numerous colors with decals all over the place.

It's been far too long, but after its season-long hiatus, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has returned to the airwaves! And neither Joseph Joestar's Stand-user party nor the hardworking folks at David Production are wasting any time getting back in the saddle, as they dive into Egypt to hunt down Dio Brando once and for all.
|Josh Tolentino
The first episode of Kantai Collection kicks off with what might be regarded as an almost galling display of pretentiousness: Against a black background, a serious-voiced woman recites the Gosei, a set of five meditative precepts laid out by Imperial Japanese Navy Vice Admiral Hajime Matsushita. To this day, naval students at Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Forces are encouraged to reflect on them every evening.
For better or worse, the material that follows doesn't anywhere near that level of consideration, but if nothing else, Kantai Collection puts on a good display as a properly entertaining anime about cute girls wearing big guns.view full story + comments
Magical Boys.
As I mentioned back in our Winter 2015 Preview Guide, just mentioning the concept drives home just how golden it is. There's so much potential in the idea of a Magical Boy show, with all the trappings and tropes that make Magical Girl shows so evergreen, that it might just be a bad indicator of the state of the industry if it took this long for it to happen.
That's not to say that Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! gets away on premise alone. True to the legacy of Director Shinji "Daily Lives of High School Boys" Takamatsu and writer Michio "Shirobako" Yokote, the misadventures of the Battle Lovers make for the funniest anime viewing of the season.view full story + comments
Winter may be upon us, and as the weather cools, it's the perfect time to curl up by the fire or stick your legs under the kotatsu and let the Japanese cartoons roll! This is Japanator's official Winter 2015 Anime Preview Guide!
As ever, we're here to dig deep into the dozens-strong animated offerings straight from Glorious Nippon, to separate the wheat from the chaff and tell you just what might be worth watching, as well as to tell you what we'll be keeping an eye on ourselves.
This winter seems thankfully light in total new series count, with a few standouts, a lot of sequels both widely anticipated and out of left field, and some intriguing newcomers. Let's check 'em out!view full story + comments
I have to admit, it's been a while since I've actually gasped while watching an anime. However, that's exactly what occurred after I processed the sheer beauty that was the first episode of A-1 Picture's Your Lie in April. I initially steered away from the show, writing it off as a bit of a comedy/cutesy version of Kids on the Slope, a show which I admired, but never really attached to, even though it is set in my home town of Sasebo. Luckily, I had some spare time this week, and crammed the first four episodes in a much needed anime escape.view full story + comments
"What would you do if you had superpowers?"
It's a question people love to ask each other, and the answers are usually quite mundane. They often involved finding ways to make lots of money using superpowers. Very few of us would volunteer to do what superheroes are supposed to do, namely fight crime and save the innocent.
That's OK! As virtually the entire history of popular fiction has taught us, power isn't what makes a hero heroic. And the stars of When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace are no heroes.view full story + comments
We neglected to cover Log Horizon back when it debuted, beyond first look by Karen, who came away distinctly unimpressed. That was a missed opportunity, because, like many a good show, Log Horizon was very much a slow, thoughtful burn in ways that its other peers in the burgeoning "Trapped In A Videogame" anime subgenres were not.
In fact, for many a longtime online RPG player, myself included, Log Horizon was the show they were hoping to see when Sword Art Online and its ilk opened the floodgates: An anime that knew and cared about how MMORPGs work, and more importantly, used that knowledge to enhance the story it told.
Now that we're into the second season, I'm happy to report that that's still the case.view full story + comments
Shirobako is many things--a story about a struggling animation studio, an anime production starting to go haywire, the promise of five young women in the pursuit of their dreams, and that is just to list a few. Shirobako, to me, is the love letter of the anime creation process as shared and dramatized by the same creators to the people that watch it. Still, it's an anime about an anime. How much that speaks to each of us has a lot more to do with who we are rather than what Shirobako is, so this special anime starts out on an usual note.view full story + comments
These day it's hard to imagine an active otaku who isn't at least passingly familiar with Fate/stay night, Type-MOON's juggernaut of a visual novel series.
I'm sure those sorts of folks exist, though, and the duty falls to Ufotable to make both them and the fans - or "Type-Lunatics" as some like to call themselves - happy. And this'll be a the second try, because to hear many veterans tell it, Studio DEEN didn't quite manage the job with their Fate/stay night TV series and Unlimited Blade Works movie.view full story + comments
Gundam Build Fighters was a show aimed at children and designed to promote the toys Bandai wants them to build. It also happened to be the most refreshing Gundam show in years, and an love letter to Gundam's enduring legacy, as well as its oldest fans.
Now, here's Gundam Build Fighters Try, which is, for better or worse (though there's not much "worse" to this proposition, a second helping of all of the above.view full story + comments
Let's get the obvious thing out of the way first: Terra Formars is not very good "Mars" fiction. The concept of Martian colonization and its myriad possibilities is just about the furthest thing from this show's mind, even three episodes in. But that's hardly a problem, because tough badasses have insect powers and use them to beat up cockroach versions of the Hulk.
Which is good enough for me.view full story + comments
A new, original anime series directed by Shinichiro Watanabe with music from Yoko Kanno?Whose hand do I shake for making this happen? Terror in Resonance was a wildcard since it was announced, featuring a relatively unknown studio (MAPPA) and a story that revolves around teenage terrorists with some frightening plans.

I love love these boots! They're "slit" on the top of both sides so they fit perfect if you have larger calves, or they're just extra comfy if you don't. These remind me of more expensive boots that you typically find from high end bohemian stores. I love them.
Great casual boots! Comfy and look exactly like the photo!
Saw these boots online and instantly knew they were for me and loved them even more when they arrived in person! Great fit for anyone with athletic legs (I always struggle to find boots that I can get over my calf muscles) as they are roomy. Love the buckles/straps, great heel height, fabric and color. Highly recommend this purchase!
These boots are super cute and stylish! I love the off-color Olive; they match most things in my wardrobe. They fit well although the top part is a little big - which is good if it's cold and you want to wear thick socks. The only thing not perfect is the strap on one side slips down a lot and then makes the buckle make noise every time I walk (like I'm in a Western ;-)) but a quick fix is to just pull the strap back up. I do wish it would stay though (it does on one side just not the other). I would definitely recommend them!
These are great! I usually wear an 8.5/9 and the 9 in these is perfect to wear with big socks, but a little too loose if I wear them with thin socks. They are adorable though and really comfy too.

Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 1 Month
Donaldson lost his arbitration case with the Blue Jays and will receive a one-year, $4.3 million deal, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.This saves Toronto more than a million dollars, but puts them off to a bad start with their new star third baseman. Donaldson figures to see an uptick from his .255 batting average thanks to the good kind of BABIP regression, and could definitely break 30 home runs given the higher home run rate at the Blue Jays' Rogers Centre compared to O.co Coliseum.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 4 Months
The A's traded Donaldson to the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for Brett Lawrie and prospects Franklin Barreto, Sean Nolin, and Kendall Graveman, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports.
Donaldson will head to Toronto after spending the last six and a half years in the A's organization. He will replace Lawrie at the hot corner and figures to bat in the middle of the Blue Jays' order.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 6 Months
Donaldson said his knee felt better Monday and he'll give it a full day of rest before testing it Tuesday, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
He certainly won't miss the wild card game against the Royals because of the ailment, and he reported that his knee is feeling more stable than it was Sunday.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 6 Months
Donaldson (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Donaldson's knee is not 100 percent, but he will take the field Saturday with the A's looking to clinch a postseason berth. He will play third and hit third Saturday as he regularly does.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 6 Months
Donaldson will continue to play through knee soreness as the A's try to secure a Wild Card berth during the final days of the regular season, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
In the event that the A's playoff fortunes are locked in with an opportunity to rest Donaldson at any point Saturday or Sunday, he may receive a day off, but it sounds as though he'll just tough it out at less than 100 percent otherwise.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 7 Months
Donaldson had an excellent day at the plate Tuesday against the White Sox, going 5-for-6 with a double, four RBI and two runs scored.
After a horrible stretch, where he was 3-for-29 in his previous seven games, Donaldson emphatically put an end to his mini-slump on Tuesday. While his batting average (.257) is nothing special, it's hard to argue with 26 home runs, 93 RBI and a .804 OPS in 540-at-bats this year.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 7 Months
Donaldson had a nice night on Thursday, going 2-for-3 with his 26th home run.
After a very rough June, Donaldson has turned his season back around with an OPS over .900 since the All-Star Break. Donaldson's average is still a bit low at .255, but he does have 88 RBI on the season to go along with his 26 bombs.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 7 Months
Donaldson had a big day at the plate Monday, going 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three RBI.
Donaldson had been struggling at the dish before snapping out of it Monday, collecting just four hits in his previous nine games. For the season Oakland's third baseman is the owner of a .252 average, 25 home runs and 87 RBI.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 7 Months
Donaldson (knee) is back in the lineup Monday in Houston, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Donaldson injured his knee during his final at-bat Saturday, which precipitated an MRI. While the results have yet to emerge, he must have checked out OK, as he handles the hot corner and bats third in the order.
Josh Donaldson 3B TOR 7 Months
Donaldson was held out of the lineup Sunday as a precaution after he suffered a knee injury during his final at-bat Saturday, Joe Stiglich of CSN Bay Area reports.
Donaldson apparently lobbied to play Sunday, but the team decided it was a prudent move to send him in for a precautionary MRI. Assuming the MRI comes back clean, there's a good chance Donaldson will return to the lineup within a couple of days.

As the end of 2012 quickly approaches, thank you in advance for keeping Mercy Corps in mind as a donation option to change additional lives for the better.
Again, thank you!
The hunger crisis in the Sahel is not an immediate emergency that gets splashed across the evening news. Instead, the tragic circumstances of drought and failed harvests have been building since the beginning of the year.
A slow build might not get as much media attention, but it is no less critical. This wide-spread disaster has left millions of families without enough to eat — and continues to worsen throughout this dry season.
WATCH VIDEO: Food crisis is just beginning
The causes and the effects of this situation are complex, the issues Mercy Corps teams are addressing no less challenging. And you want to know more.
So we passed along supporters' pressing questions to Mercy Corps' Country Director, Thierno Diallo, in Niger, a nation at the heart of the crisis. His answers shed light on the important work that your support makes possible
What is the impact of the hunger crisis on children there? What is Mercy Corps doing to help?
The hunger crisis has had a negative affect on children's well being, specifically on their health and nutrition. For example, over 13% of children in one of our target areas, the Tillabéri region, suffer from malnutrition. Many families are unable to access food and basic needs.
Mercy Corps is supporting thousands of vulnerable families through cash-for-work projects and emergency distributions that put cash in the hands of those that need it most so they can buy food. Mercy Corps has also been working with the National Health Extension to support community health centers that screen children for malnutrition; to provide nutrient-rich therapeutic food; to support mothers and improve health of their infants from birth to 2-years-old; and to host health education campaigns in dozens of villages.
How are you helping communities prepare for the future?
We are working to build the resilience of vulnerable communities by providing short-term jobs and cash during times of need or little work. This will help farmers and pastoralists hold onto their assets during the crisis so they can restart their livelihoods when conditions are better. Meanwhile, the projects people work on result in long-term improvements that rehabilitate the land and increase access to water so future harvests and animal health will improve.
They have learned to dig simple, shallow shapes into the land — banquettes for grazing land, half-moons for crops, and smaller crescents for gardening plots — that keep top soil from washing away and collect runoff water. When it rains here, it rains very hard. Rather than just evaporating away, the pooled water now absorbs more fully into the ground. Grasses that animals eat grow very quickly near the pools, which are also a new water source for the animals. The desert transforms incredibly quickly with just a little water — it's pretty amazing!
These areas are also fertilized to improve the soil, and communities are encouraged to plant trees what will slow erosion over the long-term. Additionally, the trees become a source of wood for fuel and the leaves offer more feed for animals.
We are also working with partners to connect more communities with the government's early warning system. Collecting and monitoring more data from throughout the country will ensure future droughts do not go unnoticed before it's too late.
What has been most surprising about the situation on the ground?
During past crises, men and young people would temporarily leave villages to find work or food in the cities. But the situation is so bad this time that they are no longer leaving women and children behind to maintain their homes; entire families are abandoning their farms for good and uprooting their whole lives to try to survive. The sense is that the situation has become hopeless and people do not see a way of making it work in either the short- or long-term.
How is Mercy Corps introducing sustainable farming/agriculture practices to help people through this drought, and droughts to come?
Mercy Corps is helping people get access to improved seeds that can better withstand dry conditions and more effective fertilization to improve the soil. We're teaching the land rehabilitation techniques outlined above, which can be integrated into agricultural practices for generations to come.
To increase the market value of harvests, our teams are also working with farmers — especially women — on improved storage techniques. Traditionally, small and disadvantaged producers sell crops immediately after harvest. The surplus in the market at harvest time causes prices to drop, and the most vulnerable farmers are forced to sell their produce at unfavorable prices. Our programs teach simple preservation and storage strategies, like completely drying beans and peanuts before storing (if stored while still wet or damp the produce will just rot). This knowledge provides farmers with the skills to preserve a high quality product and allows them to sell their produce when the market has more favorable conditions.
Why did you choose to work for Mercy Corps?
Broadly, Mercy Corps strives to find solutions to complex global crises by thinking differently about the process, using local partnerships and focusing on long-term sustainability. I was drawn to Mercy Corps by the challenging geography in which they operate and the unique development models they employ to create lasting change in these transitional environments.
Why is it so difficult to grow produce in the region?
Niger is in the Sahel, the southern part of the Sahara desert. The region is affected by climate change, which has led to increasingly chronic and recurring droughts every three or four years. In addition to low amounts of rainfall and groundwater, the soil is very poor and generally infertile. Most farmers use traditional production methods, but the improved technology and modern techniques discussed above will help them adapt to these new environmental conditions.
People in crisis respond with courage. What stories of courage do you keep close to your heart?
On a recent field visit we talked to many people benefitting from our projects. They said that when the family eats, they first serve the children, then the men, and finally they serve the women. When food is plentiful, the whole family eats well. However, now that food is scarce, women continue to serve their children and husbands first. Their self-sacrifice is courageous, but heartbreaking.
During our visit, women told us that they prefer the cash-for-work activities. When they work and earn money, they are able to buy enough food for their entire family. They also work to rehabilitate land that was not previously being utilized. In addition to supporting their families, their efforts help the community produce more food and help to increase the water and feed available for livestock, which increases future earnings.
Thank you for your donation. It helps Thierno and the Mercy Corps team continue this important work. Your donation saved lives.
We want to thank you again for supporting our efforts in Niger and the Sahel region, and would like to take this opportunity to share with you what else Mercy Corps is doing on GlobalGiving...

The photo above shows Santou Hamidou rejoicing in Niger. She received two goats from Mercy Corps in December 2011, and now she can breed them. She's been feeding her family with milk from the goats, and by selling the kids, she can buy more food for her six children. The hunger crisis across the region is worsening, but she has the means to lead her family through this hardship. Santou's smile makes it clear: a little help can go a long way.
Vote for the photo of Santou Hamidou with her new goat!
Afghanistan is one of the world's toughest places to be a woman. Conflict and cultural repression have denied them education, careers, safety and equal rights. But Mercy Corps' INVEST vocational training center in the Helmand province has enrolled more than 900 women who are learning English, computers, sewing, embroidery and calligraphy. The photo below shows one of these resilient women.
Vote for the photo of the woman with the sewing machine!

New CFO Joins Executive Team to Guide Fiscal Policy into 2013
WHIPPANY, NJ - Dec 13, 2012 - WHIPTAIL, the data storage-industry innovator powering faster and more energy-efficient computing for today's global businesses via flash storage, today announced a $31 million investment, including strategic investments from flash-memory leader SanDisk as well as an unnamed Silicon Valley industry titan. Ignition Partners, RRE Ventures and Spring Mountain Capital also contributed to this Series C funding and Silicon Valley Bank provided debt financing.
"The intersection of performance and efficiency has never been more important as companies and organizations are moving to new technologies like flash storage to drive the top and bottom lines," said WHIPTAIL CEO Dan Crain. "The new investors we've added to our existing team demonstrate the confidence they have in our vision. This funding will ensure continued growth of WHIPTAIL and accelerate our product roadmap through 2013, with groundbreaking products coming over the next 12 months that will leave our competition scrambling to catch up."
The investment will fund growth in WHIPTAIL's engineering team and accelerate global expansion. In addition, the company announced a new chief financial officer to lead WHIPTAIL's fiscal policy into 2013 and beyond.
WHIPTAIL's significant growth across its customer base, revenue and employees worldwide is a testament to the leadership and innovation provided in its all-flash storage arrays. The company has achieved triple digit year-over-year revenue growth as more than 150 customers are now utilizing WHIPTAIL's INVICTA and ACCELA arrays to power more than a quarter of a billion IOPS. To accommodate this expansion, WHIPTAIL's employee base has increased by almost 500 percent in 2012.
SanDisk has announced an investment in WHIPTAIL via SanDisk Ventures, the company's newly formed strategic investment arm.
"Enterprise storage represents a significant growth opportunity for flash, and SanDisk is excited to invest in innovative companies such as WHIPTAIL, which are bringing breakthrough system solutions to their enterprise customers," said Sumit Sadana, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at SanDisk. "Increasingly, customers are turning to flash-based solutions to address the need to access big data at lightning-fast speed, and do so with elegant, scalable, power-efficient systems from leading companies like WHIPTAIL."
For Richard Fade, a partner at Ignition, the moves coming from WHIPTAIL have justified their investment in the company from the beginning.
"Enterprise SSD is white hot - it's becoming affordable for the datacenter, enabling competitive advantage and becoming a key tier of storage in many industries and applications," he said. "WHIPTAIL is building the best implementations in the market. While others have been building hype, WHIPTAIL has quietly been delivering the fastest, most flexible and cost effective products in the market."
Catherine Chandler, former CFO of Vitrue and Liaison Technologies, joins WHIPTAIL executive team
On the coattails of the strategic financing agreement, WHIPTAIL announced the hiring of CFO Catherine Chandler. Chandler brings more than 25 years of experience to WHIPTAIL. She previously served as CFO of Vitrue, a social marketing technology platform purchased by Oracle in 2012, and Liaison Technologies, an integration and data management technology services company with operations in the U.S. and Europe.
"Cathy comes to us with a strong background in tech and manufacturing, two areas where her fiscal leadership will pay strong dividends for WHIPTAIL," said Crain. "We've built a world class organization here in New Jersey and we need world class leadership across executive management. Adding Cathy brings Finance in line with our other divisions."
Prior to Vitrue and Liaison Technologies, Chandler served as division controller for Georgia-Pacific and as corporate treasurer and controller for Savannah Foods & Industries.
"As a CFO, the fast-paced world of tech startups is extremely challenging," said Chandler. "It's all about planning, execution and sound financial management. I've worked with everything from the Global 100 down to startups and WHIPTAIL is as exciting an opportunity as I've had in my professional career."

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

Lions slip past Bonner; work still to do
SoVaNow.com / January 16, 2014The Halifax County Middle School boys basketball team still has work to do after a narrow win at Bonner Monday night.
The Lions prevailed, 39-36. Both teams scored ten points apiece in a tense final period, after HCMS led, 29-26, at the end of three periods.
Dashon Louden led the Lions with 14 points and Otis Slayton had ten. Jamal Brandon added six. HCMS finished with 12 two-point field goals and a pair of treys (from Brandon and Javion Featherston, who had only one field goal). The Lions were nine of 19 from the foul line.
Lion coach W.J. Long said HCMS "took the early lead but played poor defense and let them back in the game. (Halifax) had a two point lead at half, (but) they took a one point lead about halfway through the last quarter. We lacked intensity and our man defense was poor. We missed way to many chip shots which results from a lack of concentration. Bonner could not match us in size and athletic ability. However, they out hustled us for the most part, making it a game in the end. But, a win is a win so we will take it. Lot to work on, however.".

Michigan weed ids?
All of these are growing in my yard or garden beds and I don't know whether to rip them out or not. We haven't really done much work on the flower beds this year, so I've just let things grow. Maybe they're all "weeds" but I don't want to get rid of them if they're not. Our neighbors do keep a bird feeder well stocked all year, so they could just be birdseed growth.
Plant 1~ this is ragweed, right?:
Close up:
Plant 2: We have TONS of this, whatever it is.
Close up:
Plant 3:
Close up:
Plant 4:
Sorry, I don't know any other way to post more than one link with this board setup (or more than one pic either). Try this one. It should let you click on each individual pic.
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to unknown plants
The "fern" like foliage is a common plant that some people consider a good ground cover while others consider it a "weed" so it depends on where it is and what you want growing there. The others, it is difficult to identify them. Whether any plant is a "weed" or not depends on you. If this is a plant you want, growing where you want it (or maybe don't mind), then it is not a "weed". But if this plant is one you do not want, growing where you do not want it to grow then it is a "weed". I have several Rosa Rugosa'a that fit that category, a plant I do not want growing where I do not want it therefore a "weed", although there are some Columbines that have self seeded in an area where I would not plant them but they grow there and I leave them alone.
I understand the weed vs. plant comment, I was just hoping for some i.d.'s so if they were beneficial, I could move them to where I wanted them. Besides that, I'm just curious. I had a wild plant "expert" look at my pics and he said that:
1. ragweed, which I suspected after some online searching
2. mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris
3. is still unknown
4. all heal, as squirejohn posted.
Thanks for all who looked. Still wondering about number 3.
I believe your third plant is Virginia Stickseed, Hackelia virginiana.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hackelia virginiana page
