For John and Lisa Aronson, Special Olympics has been a constant. Both avid athletes, they got involved at an early age and met while volunteering. Even after starting a family, they still make time to organize state tournaments and volunteer at the Games-- bringing their three-year-old twins along to cheer
Lisa Aronson, on the far right, is a proud tennis coach and unified partner.
John Aronson first started volunteering for Special Olympics in middle school, more than 30 years ago. Lisa Aronson jokes that her husband has "coached everything at some point." For John, Special Olympics is a family affair, his sister and brother-in-law are also longtime volunteers.
Lisa began volunteering while in high school and over the years has coached tennis, volleyball and softball. After college, Lisa became a special education teacher. She was always interested in education but says it was her involvement with Special Olympics that led her to choose working with students who have special needs.
John Aronson (#13, hitting the ball) played as a unified partner at the most recent U.S. National Games. Volleyball is one of many sports John has coached over the decades.
The couple's paths first crossed while volunteering for Special Olympics. They were seeing a lot of each other at practices and meets and they even coached skiing together. Somewhere along the way, they realized that they had a lot in common and started dating.
The pair shared a belief in the power of Special Olympics to change lives. Lisa explains, "[Special Olympics] is so much more than sports. It is about building confidence, taking away perceptions of a disability and focusing on abilities. Sports transcend into athletes' whole lives, helping them to improve social skills and to create friendships."
The Aronsons' twins, Delaney and Reagan, now three, often come to cheer for the athletes.
For the Aronsons, there have been many memorable Special Olympics moments over the years. Lisa recalls the joy of watching her tennis team compete with athletes from all over the world, forming friendships that transcended the boundaries of language and ability
Even with young kids, Lisa and John continue to be actively involved with Special Olympics – participating on committees, running the annual state volleyball tournament, volunteering at the winter and summer games, and competing as Unified Partners (teams and competitions that combine Special Olympics athletes and Unified Partners volunteers). To them, Special Olympics is about building a strong community and forming bonds among people. "People become friends. It starts on the playing courts, but then they go out to dinner or movies. Just because someone has a 'disability' does not mean they don't like the same things you do."
This is the message John and Lisa are trying to pass on to their daughters, Delaney and Reagan. The girls are already starting to get involved with Special Olympics, often attending sporting events with mom and dad to cheer on the athletes.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.

"Basically, unless you give them a reason or raise a red flag for them to follow up on, your data probably won't ever be looked at our touched" is a bit too close to "what does anyone need privacy for, if you're not guilty you've got nothing to hide" and that's not an argument any government or business should ever be allowed to make.
US authorities can access foreign users' iCloud data without their consent
If you don't live in the United States but make use of Apple's online storage system, iCloud, US authorities could technically obtain and view your information without your consent. Actually, this doesn't just affect iCloud, but any cloud storage service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and any other service that is based in the United States.
While this isn't new news, nor reason to stop using all your cloud storage accounts, it's still interesting and worth knowing, especially if you live outside the US but have a lot of your data stored with iCloud or another service. The Independent has an intriguing story on the subject and what it means for international users -
Amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as FISA, allow US government agencies open access to any electronic information stored by non-American citizens by US-based companies. Quietly introduced during the dying days of President George W Bush's administration in 2008, the amendments were renewed over Christmas 2012.
This basically means that if US authorities found reason, they could search your cloud storage accounts for information. Most of this was probably put into place to prevent acts of terrorism considering this rule doesn't apply for United States residents. Even so, it just goes to show that sometimes convenience comes at the price of privacy.
The Independent goes on to explain why the rule may have went into affect -
Significantly, bodies such as the National Security Agency, the FBI and the CIA can gain access to any information that potentially concerns US foreign policy for purely political reasons – with no need for any suspicion that national security is at stake – meaning that religious groups, campaigning organisations and journalists could be targeted.
Basically FISA was put into place to target any potential threats. Basically, unless you give them a reason or raise a red flag for them to follow up on, your data probably won't ever be looked at our touched. Any foreign readers out there have any input on whether this would affect your decision to use cloud storage services?

US authorities can access foreign users' iCloud data without their consent
You can also look at this another way. The location (or locations) where your data resides is governed by the laws of that country. So if the privacy laws in that country are weak, your protection is weak. iCloud, DropBox, Evernote etc. but also, Gmail, livemail etc. are also shared on servers around the world. I just hope they don't have the KFC recipe stored in the cloud!
As an employee of a Canadian university in order to comply with the BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy, I cannot use any cloud service to store personal information http://www.sfu.ca/itservices/about/depts/cio/cioblog/articles/2011/don-t...
As a researcher, I must complly with the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans http://www.pre.ethics.gc.ca/eng/index/ and in order to guarantee the anonymity and confidentiality of my subjects I cannot store any data in the cloud.
I imagine it would be policy in any organization in Canada to forbid the use of any cloud service with servers in the US to store any data whatsoever. We've known about FISA for a while and wonder why you put up with similar breaches of your 4th amendment rights.
This sickens me. The US government is hell-bent on removing all privacy protection not only for its citizens but for the entire world. All in the name of "national security". What is more secure: spying on the whole world in the hopes of spotting the next terror attack, or examining your past actions to see what provoked the terrorists in the first place.
I'm neither on the US nor the terrorists' side. I just want everyone to grow the bleep up and take responsibility for their past actions.
This is one of the reasons I moved lots of my cloud storage to servers guaranteed outside the U.S. There are quite some cloud providers using this as business model (e.g. Cubby or AeroFS).
Sorry, I picked these two, because both allow synching P2P - without the need of an external server... If you're looking for a cloud provider with non-US-servers, start here: TeamDrive.com
Ah yes, I see. I'm trying Tonido which is similar. It's actually quite hard to restrict cloud, especially on an iOS device.
I too, have a Tonido (and a Pogoplug, Sheevaplug, etc...), but they'll cost you money if you want to sync YOUR data (which is quite stupid, because YOU own the plug, the drive, the infrastructure and they just offer a relay).
A better - and in the long term much cheaper and saver approach is to buy a Synology NAS. They have a built-in Dropbox-like functionality (Cloudstation) which costs you nothing (beside the drive). The only thing you must take care of is backup, but there's Crashplan (US), Strato (EU), 1&1 (EU) and others....
"Basically FISA was put into place to target any potential threats. Basically, unless you give them a reason or raise a red flag for them to follow up on, your data probably won't ever be looked at our touched."
The FBI and other agencies have a long history of targeting people for political (peace activists, MLK, John Lennon, etc) reasons. The word terrorism does not have an easy definition, and so it is useful for laws such as these. It allows the agencies great latitude in the exercise of their powers. Latitude with which I do not believe they have shown that they can be trusted. The author makes the assumption, as many people do, that her criteria(for a "red flag") coincide with the FBI's criteria for such. Evidence suggests that the FBI's criteria is in fact much lower.
Yeah, like the government wouldn't decide to use it to check on your personal financials for Income Tax purposes, explore your files if you're a member of a Party not currently the Administration, or if you've publicly (or even privately - say, in letters to government departments) challenged federal policies. Or you simply lived in a country with a neurotic, clueless Head of State - like Canada.
Imagine what would US citizens feel like if they found out that T-mobile was spying on them on behalf of German government and Swedish intelligence was reviewing their Spotify playlists :)
I don't understand why people are getting so upset about this. If you want privacy, build your own ftp server to store your files. The cloud gives you convenience and the cost of that is privacy. Dropbox, google drive, sky drive, they are all just ftp sites with a nice UI that someone else is hosting. Most people don't realize that the "Cloud" has been has existed way before dropbox or any of these storage services.
Don't get me wrong, dropbox and google drive have their uses and I do use them. I just don't put any personal documents (finance papers, secret plans to over turn the government, etc) on them. Do you think the people managing these services don't look at your data? I'm a systems admin and have access to all of my users emails and their "private" drives. Ask any admin if they have ever looked at a user's email or opened up a picture file while doing some troubleshooting, if they say no feel free to call him/her a liar to their face.
People are just upset because it's the government. If you were really concerned about your privacy then you wouldn't be using these services to begin with.
Plenty of folks are no where near as computer savvy as you are, and rely on a common sense expectation of privacy no more complicated then having to show some kind of reason based upon some type of legal standard to go through your personal items. If I was an exchange student living in a dorm. Authorities would require a warrant to search my room and laptop. The same standard should be held here. This should concern americans more than foreign nationals, because from the use of guantanamo to deny folks their legal rights to due process and declaring soldiers "enemy combatants" to skirt around the geneva convention to drone strikes on u.s citizens. The american government regardless of which party is in power or who is president has shown a pattern of moral indifference yo the rights of the individual, citizen or not. In this case exploit ing the fact that laws have not caught up with technology. As foreigners our governments would simply have to demand that cloud storage servers be placed in our respective nations. But your problem remains.
We use these services because they provide convenience and actual real life use to us. We aren't using them to give the US government a chance to spy on us. Whenever a service is related to holding data about people is there, the US government takes it as a chance to spy on people to prevent this vaguely defined "terrorism".
People don't really store their top secret information in these cloud based storage places.. They still store many important stuff that they don't necessarily want people to have access to.
Just because these admins of yours do what you said they do doesn't make it okay.
I do not use iCloud and only store encrypted data on Dropbox. I would never in my life trust the tinies part of my privacy on Apple's hands. As Americans, they are only too happy to breach my privacy should there be a financial benefit in doing so, for that is the cultural norm over there. A European, I employ local cloud providers as much as I can.
"Basically, unless you give them a reason or raise a red flag for them to follow up on, your data probably won't ever be looked at our touched"
Yes, because the government has never used anti-terrorist bills for anything but to fight terrorism, certainly not to violate due process in drug investigations [ http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/28/politics/28LEGA.html ], or to drive MPAA-related inquiries into the webmaster of a Sci-fi fan site [ http://boingboing.net/2004/07/26/stargate-fansite-ope.html ], and never, ever to hound professors after their spouses die of heart attacks [ http://www.commondreams.org/cgi-bin/print.cgi?file=/headlines04/0611-05.htm ]
Yes, let us all give thanks to a government that takes such strong measures to protect us -- what true Patriot would want Constitutional guarantees of privacy and liberty when you could instead have the safety that comes from never knowing when you are being watched, and why?
And for those about to quote Ben Franklin back at me -- the above was sarcasm. The enabling attitude of "you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" is just as sickening as the attitude our lawmakers (left and right) have taken towards civil liberties. It is too bad that the first George Bush convinced so much of the electorate that ACLU was a four-letter-word, because they seem to be the only people willing to fight the good and necessary fight.

3. When 200 μl of a stock solution, containing 0.2 M NaOH and 1% SDS, are added to 100 μl of suspended cells, the total volume is now 300 μl. The diluted solution contains effective concentrations of 0.132 M NaOH and 0.66% SDS. These effective concentrations were calculated by multiplying the stock concentrations by the fraction of the volume of the NaOH/SDS solution to the total reaction volume: 200 μl/300 μl = 2/3 or 0.66.

Converting Lab Protocols to Materials and Methods
Please write up all the procedures done in lab so far in Series 3 in the format of a research report's Materials and Methods section. This part of the assignment is worth 7.5 points.
Students commonly have trouble with the methods section, primarily because it is mistakenly considered to be the place to describe exactly what you did in lab, step by step. Instead, think of this section as the place to present the progress of the experiment through a detailed but brief description of the methods used to collect and to analyze your data. Present enough information so that the reader can evaluate what you did, see how you achieved your experimental goals, and could, possibly, replicate your work. Where possible, use references to previous published descriptions of common protocols rather than describing the methods yourself (such as the Inoue method of making cells competent). To see how this is done properly, look at Materials and Methods sections from published papers, particularly those research reports using a similar experimental design to your study. There are good model papers found in the References folder on the lab conference. Do not clutter your paper with trivial or non-essential information. This section should not be a transcription of the lab manual or a chronological description of your lab experience. It should be as succinct as possible. It is perfectly acceptable to use references (with complete citation information) to refer reader to where methods are described rather than explaining them fully in M&M; however, if you refer your reader to another published source, you must have first made sure that that source did the protocol essential as you did or you must explain the exceptions.
Divide the Methods section into subheadings with titles that give the goal as well as the main tool used to achieve the goal of each part of the experiment, e.g, DNA fragmentation and separation of ___________ by restriction enzyme digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis is a better subheading than the tool, Gel Electrophoresis, or a vague future goal, Identifying the Gene.
The first sub-section should be a brief narrative describing general culture methods and strain information. The strain information is generally in the form of a table that includes the name, source (or citation to investigator who first described that strain) and relevant genotype information. All the bacterial strains, the worm strains, and the plasmid vector used should be included. Look at the M&M section of published papers to see examples of how this is done. One simple model is a paper by Ch'ng et al. published in the journal Genetics. (An annotated version and a copy in .pdf format can be found in References in your lab Sakai site.) The worm strains were supplied by the Dolan DNA Center, Cold Spring Harbor, NY.
Methods are always presented in the past tense because the experiments are complete. Third person is preferred, even if it requires passive voice, because avoiding first person helps you focus on the progress of the experiment rather than on your lab day (DNA was precipitated in 70% ethanol is preferred over, We added 1ml of 95% ethanol to a tube containing…).
Never use the word tube (or similar words such as plates). Instead of stressing the container, describe what you are really interested in that's in it, using specific terms that increase understanding. Example: you didn't analyze a plate (just plastic) for phenotype; you observed worms cultured in a particular way on a solid medium. Your reader doesn't want to know all about your lab day (eg. did this then did that), but she is struggling to understand how you reached your goal from the starting materials. Do NOT use ambiguous or meaningless terms such as Solution I,II, or III. The reader needs to know how to make those stock solutions by being told the ingredients and concentration. However, in most of a protocol description, rather than giving recipes (e.g. mixed this vol. of this with this vol. of that), wherever possible, give effective concentrations of reagents when you describe crucial points in the experiment.
Example: Product formation after 10 minutes was halted with the addition of 0.1M Na2CO3 to each enzyme/substrate reaction, is preferred over 1ml of 1M 0.1M Na2CO3 was added to each tube in 30 sec. intervals.
Sample partial Methods section:
Restriction Enzyme Digestion and Separation of Plasmid Fragments by Electrophoresis
Isolated plasmid pBI121 (from Plasmid DNA Isolation described in Materials and Methods previously) was digested with a restriction enzyme by combining 20% plasmid DNA with 0.4% HindIII (stock diluted according to supplier, SigmalAdrich, at www.sigmaaldrich.com) in High Salt Buffer (0.1M NaCl, 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 10mM MgCl2, and 1mM DTT) for 20 min at 37C. The DNA fragments from the digest were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis by applying 20μl of the digested DNA to a 1.5% agarose gel in TGE (0.25M Tris, 1.9M Glycine, 13mM EDTA) with 0.5% SYBR safe DNA stain from Invitrogen (www.invitrogen.com). DNA fragments were subjected to electrophoresis at 100V for one hour. Stained and separated DNA fragments were visualized and photographed under UV light.
Note, that it is not assumed that your reader knows from where the starting materials come. You must explain that the plasmid DNA that you are digesting was prepared from a protocol previously described and where you purchased anything else that you don't describe how to make.
Note, also, that in the example above it was not possible to give the preferred effective concentrations of either the plasmid DNA or the restriction enzyme because we don't know the DNA concentration in this plasmid isolate and the supplier of the commercially purchased restriction enzyme, HindIII, did not give the concentration, but did supply working dilution recommendations. Therefore, volume ratios are about the best we can do. Note that it would be possible to figure out the effective concentration of the ingredients in the buffer, but that is not necessary since the buffer is the diluent. The reader only needs to know how to make the stock buffer and how using it reduces the concentration of the important things, like the plasmid.
How to calculate effective concentration:
You should include ingredients and concentrations of all reagents at first mention, if you can. The ingredients and concentration of all stock solutions, suspensions, and reagents (or where to buy proprietary reagents) are found in the lab protocols or in a separate appendix. Give reagent "recipes" or supplier information in parenthesis after you first mention anything that will have to be made or bought. Many reagents are proprietary; therefore, showing your reader where to buy them is the best you can do if you can't give enough information for your reader to be able to make them.
Examples: Cells were cultured at 37C overnight in Luria broth (1% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract,1% NaCl ).
DNA was extracted from leaf disks using a Hot Start® DNA extraction kit available from Invitrogen, Inc.
To avoid ambiguity, most scientific papers provide the effective concentration of reagents at the time of the reaction rather than giving volumes of various stock solutions as they are added together. Remember that you do not usually have to provide the effective concentrations of diluents.
1. The effective concentration of ampicillin in broth during cell growth is calculated by multiplying the stock concentration (100 mg/ml) by the dilution created when 10 μl of the stock ampicillin was added to 10 ml (10,000 μl) of broth. In this case, the effective concentration of ampicillin in the culture is 0.1 mg/ml AMP because there is 10 μl of stock ampicillin in 10,000 μl (10 ml). This constitutes a 1/1000 dilution of the 100 mg/ml stock. Note that the concentrations of the components of the broth are not significantly changed by the addition of this small amount (10 μl) of ampicillin to 10,000 μl of LB, so the concentrations of the ingredients used to make the broth can be given as stock concentrations without adjustment.
2. If 100 μl of a solution containing 50 mM glucose, 10 mM EDTA and 25 mM Tris buffer was used to resuspend a bacterial cell pellet, the concentrations in the stock solution are not altered because the pelleted cells do not represent a measurable fluid volume.
3. When 200 μl of a stock solution, containing 0.2 M NaOH and 1% SDS, are added to 100 μl of suspended cells, the total volume is now 300 μl. The diluted solution contains effective concentrations of 0.132 M NaOH and 0.66% SDS. These effective concentrations were calculated by multiplying the stock concentrations by the fraction of the volume of the NaOH/SDS solution to the total reaction volume: 200 μl/300 μl = 2/3 or 0.66.

About Zambia
Although Zambia has experienced 12 straight years of impressive economic growth and its average income of $1,460 makes it a lower-middle-income country, that growth has not benefited the two-thirds of Zambians who live in poverty. Reflecting considerable U.S. Government investment over time in one of the countries most affected by HIV/AIDS, some social indicators have improved, with life expectancy at birth now at 52 years (up from 39) and maternal mortality at 591 per 100,000 live births (down from 729). The country's challenge is to promote broad-based, pro-poor economic growth, create employment and develop its human capital. Accordingly, USAID's assistance concentrates on increasing agriculture-led economic growth to reduce rural poverty and food insecurity; improving the health of Zambians; reducing the incidence and impact of HIV/AIDS; raising the quality of basic education; and enhancing democratic governance.

Comments: This absolutely catch fish! Best jig trailer I have used in awhile. My favorite jigs to use these with are the Berkley Gripper Jig or Manns Stone Jig. Sometimes I dip the claws in Dip and Glow.
From: Wyatt: New Jersey 8/20/14
Comments: Broke out the Fight'n Bug for the 1st time yesterday. 60 Degree water temps; bass cruising the shallows. They wouldn't touch a swim bait, wouldn't touch a stick worm etc; so I tied on a Texas Rigged Fight'n Bug. In about 20 minutes I had 6 Bass on and lost another 3. Not only did those bass hit those soft crayfish they inhaled them. No hesitation; all I had to do was cast out in front of the cruisers and they raced over to the bait and crushed it. The only reason I missed three was because I could visibly see them take it and hit back too soon on two of them. The 3rd missed Bass happened while reeling in; that brave soul came out and hit the bait as I was pulling it out of the water. First impression of this bait; it saved the day. Great action crawling/hopping across the bottom. Great sized bait; not sure a larger bait would have worked on those small male Bass. GREAT BAIT; glad I purchased them (bought 10 packs back in February). I was only using the Okeechobee Craw color. LOVE IT!

Phoronix: FreeBSD 9.1: LLVM/Clang Battling GCC
With LLVM/Clang having become the default FreeBSD x86 compiler as of last year and the recent FreeBSD 9.1 release shipping not only LLVM/Clang but also the libc++ library, new benchmarks were carried out of FreeBSD 9.1 looking at its two stock compilers.
C'mon Michael, you know that this test is _far_ from fair!
How about you test GCC 3.2 vs the latest LLVM/Clang. I bet the latter one will win everywhere... But will it be fair? No.
The benchmarks are meant to compare the old FreeBSD system compiler to the new one, not to allow the current versions of both compilers to duke it out - that's a totally different article.
I'm sure GCC 4.7 vs Clang 3.2 will be coming soon :-) (if it hasn't already been done)
Guys, the tests you are talking about have already been done (in fact, several times).... The most recent GCC 4.7/4.8 vs. LLVM Clang 3.1/3.2 - http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=18321
This article is just about the stock FreeBSD compiler performance...
Michael Larabel
I thought they'd been done, I was just feeling too lazy to find the URL...
Thanks for the article Michael, I've just set up a new FreeBSD box and was wondering about exactly this.
Oh, why they have to compete with grandfather of GCC aka gcc 4.2? It would make more sense to battle gcc 4.7 . Next time it's better to use GCC 2.95 or so. It would be easier to beat, 4.2 still kicks the butt in half of tests, which is not something *bsd/clang guys would like, he-he-he .
How about you drop tests requiring OpenMP for comparison until OpenMP is mainlined into LLVM/Clang 3.3? Retest in June.
And why someone should make such discounts? We need operating systems here and now. Not "in June" or whenever. Let's go further and drop all tests where clang loses. Or even better, drop all tests where Linux + recent GCC beats BSDs to a hell. Then BSD guys would be happy for sure . Yet, I doubt this approach would make BSDs anyhow popular.

A few years ago I was working at a software development company and one day my co-worker asked me if would be possible to use the Windows Net Send mechanism to send messages through the corporate network using some programming language like C++. I found the idea very interesting since we could implement this functionality in some of our applications so they could send messages to our computers when an exception occurs and/or something goes wrong.
After some time of MSDN and Google, learning about MailSlots, I could write the first test program and, for our surprise, worked like a charm.
With our program ready, we've started do create a generic function to send the messages, so we could make it avaliable at our "shared" directory, when I got an idea: "What if we use an invalid User Name to send the message?". Well, I think I don't need to tell you how this history ends
The FakeSend (and Net Send) mechanism is very simple. It uses an Interprocess Communication (IPC) resource called "MailSlots". We can create MailSlots to swap messages between applications on a network environment just like we do with Sockets, Named Pipes, etc... The MailSlot internally uses a datagram socket, which means that we cannot be sure if the message has arrived. To learn more about MailSlots read the MailSlot Reference from MSDN Library.
The code is very straightforward. We have the main function NetSend() that receives three values:
bool NetSend(const char * szSender, const char * szReceiver, const char * szMessage) { // Our main variables char * pszMailSlot = NULL; unsigned char * pucMessage = NULL; unsigned int nMailSlotLen, nMsgFormatLen; HANDLE hHandle; DWORD dwBytesWritten; bool bRet = false; // Get the length of the strings nMailSlotLen = strlen(szReceiver) + sizeof(szMailSlotPath); nMsgFormatLen = strlen(szSender) + strlen(szReceiver) + strlen(szMessage) + sizeof(szMsgFormat); // Allocate necessary memory pszMailSlot = new char[nMailSlotLen]; pucMessage = new unsigned char[nMsgFormatLen]; // Network path for <Receiver> MailSlot: // "\\Receiver\MAILSLOT\messngr" sprintf(pszMailSlot, szMailSlotPath, szReceiver); // Message Format: // "Sender\0Receiver\0Message\0" // sprintf doesn't work with \0 so here I'm using \r sprintf((char *)pucMessage, szMsgFormat, szSender, szReceiver, szMessage); // Replace all '\r' characters with '\0' for (unsigned short i = 0; i < nMsgFormatLen; i++) { if (pucMessage[i] == '\r') pucMessage[i] = '\0'; else if (pucMessage[i] == '\0') break; } // Create the file into Receiver's MailSlot and get a Handle to this file hHandle = CreateFile(pszMailSlot, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); // Do we have a valid handle? if (hHandle) { // Write the message to file bRet = (WriteFile(hHandle, pucMessage, (DWORD)nMsgFormatLen, &dwBytesWritten, NULL) == TRUE); // Free the handle CloseHandle(hHandle); } return bRet; }

The National Conference on Weights and Measures certifies the V41PWE3T Legal for Trade with Certificate of Conformance Number 13-056. So, you can count on getting accurate readings time after time. Perfect for stores and markets where items are sold by weight....Great for produce, meat and more.
This portion control scale has earned NSF Certification. This means the National Science Foundation has reviewed this scale and determined that it complies with relevant NSF consensus standards.
Ohaus designed the Valor 4000W V41PWE3T with a super tough, 0.5mm (0.02") thick polycarbonate keypad that is both impact and puncture resistant.
The Valor 4000W washdown scale has a waterproof housing with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of X8. This means the V41PWE3T is protected from complete submersion in water up to 1 meter.
The Valor 4000 is designed with a hands-free sensor at the rear of the scale to make operation clean and easy, even with full hands. The touch-free sensor controls the tare feature and helps prevent contamination.
The Valor 4000W scales have a super fast response time of less than a second. Perfect for fast paced weighing.
Make sure ya get your weights just right with this compact bench scale's check weighing feature. When ya weigh in this mode, you can set weight limits for the stuff you're weighing. So, if your sample weight is too low, too high or just right the Ranger will let ya know with the LED indicators on the front and rear of the platform.
This feature will let ya compare the weights of your samples against a predetermined reference weight. This can be helpful with recipe formulation and adjusting batch sizes.
You can use this accumulation feature to weigh a sequence of items together. This is a great feature if ya need a scale with cumulative weighing for recording production runs.
The Valor 4000 W series is designed with a display on the front and the rear of the scale. This feature is great for multi user weighing.
You won't have to worry about searching high and low for a wall outlet to plug the Valor V41PWE3T into. This compact bench scale has an internal rechargeable battery with up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge!
Transporting the Valor from place to place is an easy task thanks to the built in carry handle at the bottom of the base.
The tare button on the front of the Valor 4000 W can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the item you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use a separate weighing container or get the weights of separate items.
This compact digital scale has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
This very handy feature helps you quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. All ya have to do is adjust the feet on the bottom of the scale until the spirit bubble is centered within the level indicator. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings.
When ya buy the Valor 4000W V41PWE3T, you'll need to head on over to the Ohaus website and register it to receive your one year warranty.

I knew it! Naruto will learn using Yin and Yang + Natural Energy to master Senjutsu! - MangaShare
Naruto would learn to recompose his body energy (yang) and spiritual energy (yin) plus natural energy to perform the legendary Sage Arts.
And now to master the Sage Arts he needs to combine natural energy with yin and yang.
Now chakra is split into body energy and spirit energy. To release chakra you need to mix spirit and body energy.
To release chakra you need to mix it with body energy as seen above meaning that the strength of the Kyuubi's yin chakra displayed also depends on the strength of Naruto's yang which maybe the reason why he could only use one tail against Sasuke pre-time skip because his body energy wasn't as strong as it is now.
Naruto's body energy at this point in time can only support 4-tails but when he gets to master the Sage Arts and his body energy increases he will be able to control the full power of the Kyuubi without going berserk, adding natural energy to maximize the power of his jutsus.
At the end of the day Senjutsu will be a way for Naruto to effectively use the Kyuubi.
Whenever he tries to draw power from it, things look like their out of balance and the Kyuubi power overwhelms him. However, if he could pump in some natural energy to balance the massive Kyuubi's chakra that he draws out, it might be what it takes to keep the Kyuubi in check.

New Study Ethanol Costs U.S. One Million Jobs
CHURCHVILLE,: VA–If President Obama still cares about more: U.S.: jobs and high food costs he can now immediately gain on both.. An economist in Indianapolis just calculated that the U.S. is losing: a million jobs: this year–along with $30: billion: in economic growth–because we shifted too much of our corn into ethanol. Tom Elam says direct employment in the food industry would have produced three times as many jobs processing and marketing meat as making ethanol from the same corn.: Elamcalculates the foregone jobs at 941,000. That doesn't even count the myriad of jobs that would have been needed to support the newly employed one million Americans.:
Based on recent history,: U.S.: consumers got less meat and milk than they would have liked. Consumer spending on these items has veered sharply down from its historic trend since President Bush radically raised the nation's ethanol mandate in 2007.: Elam: predicts these problems will only get worse. The : EPA's approval of 15 percent ethanol in gasoline will likely push corn fuel use up faster than corn yields are rising.:
Without the ethanol mandate, U.S. feed exports would increase (a job creator) Also, our cost of driving would come down even as the prices of pork chops, broilers, and steak came back within the reach of stressed-out US food buyers. : :
No need to worry about Green protests on this one. The environmental groups have turned against the "renewable" fuel they once supported. Ethanol does little to reduce: U.S.: greenhouse emissions, but diverting : grain from to fuel is ramping up survival costs for the poor across the world.:
Naomi Klein, a best-selling "green" author from: Canada, says climate change is not a big issue to the left. Rather, "ideology is the main factor in whether we believe in climate change. If you have an egalitarian and communitarian worldview, and you tend toward a belief system of pooling resources and helping the less advantaged then you believe in climate change." But there has obviously been no warming trend on the planet for 15 years, and the: U.S.: unemployment problem is now center stage. Especially for the lower income workers who are prominent in food processing and transport..:
: Grain farmers are bidding up the prices of their own cropland to twice the 2006 levels–cleverly raising their own production costs for the future. Meanwhile the more numerous livestock farmers risk bankruptcy due to redoubled feed costs. Congress is urgently studying a further bailout of dairy farmers, who can no longer afford to feed their cows. : But the nation's debt limit is looming.:
Even after this drought-stricken corn-growing season, the EPA has refused to suspend the ethanol mandate. The EPA has apparently feared perceived failure of a "green fuel" program on President Obama's watch. A word from the President could set Lisa Jackson's mind at rest, and create those additional jobs in short order.:
However, a temporary suspension of the ethanol mandate is unlikely to work. Temporary moves are discounted by business, as the President found with his stimulus spending. The President should now lift the ethanol mandate as a waste of taxpayer money, a drag on blue-collar job creation–and a threat to many thousands of livestock farmers. To add insult to injury, ethanol is expensive to make and has 35 % fewer BTU's per gallon. Additionally, a 15% blend will melt fuel lines and burn valves in many cars. Who will pay for the repairs?:
Thomas Elam,: Ethanol Production: Economic Impact on Meat and Poultry Consumption, Value and Jobs,: FarmEcon LLC,: Indianapolis, In., Oct 30, 2012. (Dr: Elam: is a highly experienced agricultural economist who has served on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Outlook and Situation Board and held responsible jobs in agribusiness.):
"Interview with Naomi Klein,": Common Dreams, Feb. 29, 2012.:
Dennis T. Avery, a senior fellow for the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., is an environmental economist. He was formerly a senior analyst for the Department of State. He is co-author, with S. Fred Singer: of: Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years.: Readers may write to him at: PO Box 202: Churchville,: VA: 2442; email to: [email protected]: or visit us at: www.cgfi.org

I am quite chill.
Here I will quote myself...
OK, Thankyou bridgman for all the help. I probaly never would have found all this out if it was not for you. I am now vary happy with my buy and am glad I didn't go with the Nvidia card. Now I'll know for sure if I have a problem with the catalyst driver it is realy a problem with something ells like configuration or a combo problem.
and todays post that energyman got all upset about and said I would get in trouble for writing.
I will start by quoting the post I was repliying to...
He's right, though. Time for the action. Enough of waiting for empty promises. I propose to nuke them. Or put salt in their coffe. Or something.
Ya, but on second thought. It mite be rather hard to overwhelm a CPU manufacturers servers. I'd think they have the best of the best of everything.
Eventhough I am not effected in a bad way, I do think that action "is" the only way to get attention. I am a proactive kind of guy. I also think that 2007 hardware is not old. I meen it is only 5/09 and I think computers should last at lest 3years. Also, a lot of times I get computers with last year hardware to save big $$ and I am sure this is common practice. If true, that would meen a lot of poeple that got computer's just last year are now left in the cold.
I am also vary happy that ATI has Open Source drivers. However, I don't think ATI should use them as some second horse to dump the work they don't feel like doing.
As you can read, I was not even talking about that suff. Most of what I was saying was just that I think the cut off date should have been 3years like last time.
It may have seemed like I was ranting but it was just that it took a long time for energyman to realize it is ok for people to say one line of text that he may not agree with.
And to answer your question. I am learing how to program. I am learing Python right now. In January I am going to school to get an AS in CENT with Unix systems administration with Linux, TCP/IP with Linux, computer science with JAVA. I also take classes to get a CCNA.

Melted Swiss cheese, asparagus, proscuitto, arugula and garlic mayonnaise pressed in a ciabatta. Did that just make your stomach growl?
Panini's are the perfect weeknight meal, they come together quickly and you can literally clean out your refrigerator coming up with new variations. If you can make a grilled cheese, you can make a panini, that's how easy it is and you don't need a fancy panini press to make it. Prior to owning a panini press, I used my George Forman grill or you could even use a grill pan on the stove and place an iron skillet on top to press it down.
I grilled the asparagus right on the panini press, so there's no dirtying extra pans. You can make this a meatless Monday by leaving the ham out for 8 pts plus, it will still taste great!
If you are new here, check out my tip on how to make a bigger sandwich for less calories.

Place on a panini press and close until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted. Cut in half and eat immediately.
