Title: | WRRCTR No.177 Drinking Water Quality Determination: An Evaluation of New Methods of Analysis |
Author: | Fujioka, Roger S; Nakasone, Samuel S; Kungskulniti, Nipapun |
Date: | 1987-09 |
Publisher: | Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Citation: | Fujioka RS, Kungskulniti N, Nakasone SS. 1987. Drinking water quality determination: an evaluation of new methods of analysis. Honolulu (HI): Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa. WRRC technical report, 177. |
Abstract: | The most recent edition of Standard Methods proposes the use of the presence-absence (P-A) test to assay
drinking waters for coliform bacteria and the membrane filtration (MF) method using two new media (m-HPC, R2A) to determine the concentrations of total heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water samples. These two methods were used to analyze selected samples of Honolulu's drinking water which were being routinely analyzed for coliform bacteria and total heterotrophic bacteria tested by traditional methods from the Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) and the Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH). Over a thirteen-month period, 200 water samples obtained by the BWS and 18 samples obtained by DOH were also analyzed for coliform bacteria using the P-A test and for total heterotrophic bacteria using the MF method by the laboratory at the University of Hawaii. The comparative results show that the P-A test is more sensitive than the most probable number (MPN) (P <0.01) and the MF methods (P <0.05) in recovering coliform bacteria. Moreover, the MF method using either the m-HPC or R2A media is more efficient in recovering total heterotrophic bacteria than the pour plate method (P <0.01). The P-A test for coliform bacteria and the MF method for total heterotrophic bacteria were determined to be feasible and reliable methods when applied to drinking water samples from Honolulu. These two new methods were recommended for use by the BWS and DOH. |

This technology is interesting and there is a lot of potential here. I'm not entirely sure where it will go in the future but I feel it is only the beginning. If it can become part of the medical field in any way at all, again, the potential here would be profound. Purely speculative play at this point, however.

By all means, Intel was on top of its game in the second quarter of 2012. The Santa Clara chip maker reported quarterly revenue of $13.5 billion, operating income of $3.8 billion, and net income of $2.8 billion. Talk all you want about the PC sales slump, Intel still performed well, with its PC Client Group pulling in $8.7 billion in revenue, up 3 percent sequentially, along with its Data Center Group adding another $2.8 billion (up 14 percent sequentially). If the numbers are so strong, why is Wall Street on edge?
It has to do with the fact that Intel cut its full-year revenue forecast. Intel projects revenue growth of 3-5 percent year-over-year, compared to the prior expectation of "high single-digit growth." According to Reuters, at least four brokerage firms lowered their price targets on Intel as a result.
There's also concern over Intel's inventory level, which rose roughly 9 percent sequentially in the second quarter. Intel is sitting on a mountain of Ivy Bridge processors, which could be hard to move if Windows 8, due out in October, fails to excite people into purchasing new PCs.
High price Ultrabooks also pose a problem for Intel, though during a conference call, company chief Paul Otellini stated that $699 Ultrabook models are headed to stores this fall.
"In a softer selling season, these devices become even more attractive," Otellini said.

Every so often, PC gamers want to step away from the desk and play some games in the living room. There's a comfy couch! And a big TV! While we'd never want to give up our trusty keyboard and mouse for Counter-Strike or Civilization, there are tons of great PC games—both multiplayer and singleplayer—that are ideally suited to a controller and a big TV. We've assembled a list of the 20 best PC
The Steam Summer Sale is always dangerous, threatening to take money from your wallet and hundreds of hour of your life away with tantalizing games. But today's best deals feel especially life-threatening, because there are some masterful strategy games on sale. Civilization 5, Rome 2: Total War, and Europa Universalis IV are all heavily discounted, and any one of these games could keep you
The holidays are a time for family gatherings, massive dinners, mildly disappointing presents, and visitations by ghosts who show you harrowing visions of what might have been. This year, the Ghost of Video Games Past showed me what the games of 2013 would have been like if graphics cards had never been invented! I have no idea why he did that. The Ghost of Video Games Past is a little
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag doesn't really want to be an Assassin's Creed game, and I don't blame it. It seems keen to shrug off the oblique, convoluted lore surrounding the eon-long Assassins vs Templar power struggle, which managed to reach new peaks of ludicrousness even after that bit in the second game when you punch the Pope into unconsciousness in order to access an alien hologram.
In 2012, Peter "Durante" Thoman wrote the popular mod DSfix for Dark Souls: Prepare to Die on PC. In April 2014, he wrote a series of articles for PC Gamer about modding Dark Souls 2.
After recent comments appeared to imply that its developers are unconcerned with PC optimization, Ubisoft has responded with a broadside of information about the design process behind games like Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Contrary to reports in the media, Ubisoft designers are "PC fans," according to a new post by Communications Manager Gary Steinman.
Following the release of their tribute to the pirate life, a handful of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag developers took to Reddit and addressed a few burning questions from fans. They avoided touching on where Ubisoft would take the series post Black Flag, but that didn't stop them from sharing where they thought the series wasn't going.
Over the course of the last few months, Ubisoft have released what seems like every single scene from Assassin's Creed 4: Hooray for Pirates! in an unstoppable parade of trailers. Having run out of campaign chum to throw into the waters, they've turned to the multiplayer, providing a quick run down of its features, modes and customisation options.
Want to sail the high seas in style? We're giving away an ASUS ROG G75JH gaming notebook and a copy of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to one lucky buccaneer. All you have to do to enter is fill out a quick survey, and like PC Gamer and Asus on Facebook. U.S. residents only.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has been pushed back on PC to November 22, but why? Are PC push-backs so coded into Ubisoft's DNA that they can't physically stop themselves delaying things? Are they adding more beards to the piratey assassin adventure? Perhaps they're fine tuning the collection of smooth PC-only effects demonstrated in a new Nvidia video, invluding a TXAA mode that removes
The amount of videos Ubisoft has released for its latest tale of swashbuckling assassination is something of a running joke at this point. The publisher has offered new videos on an almost weekly basis, leading to an almost exhausting amount of information about the game. With Black Flag coming to current gen consoles next week (the PC version hits Nov. 19 in the US), The newest video stitches
Okay, Ubisoft? Activision? EA? You're all here? Good, take a seat. I've called you to this post to explain the purpose of a "launch trailer". It's designed to accompany the launch of a game. Not to crop up two weeks before launch, and definitely not when you're over a month away from that launch. Oh well, given that it's here, I guess we'll show you Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's launch
The Assassin's Creed series has always had a knack for putting its imagined, simulated history at the center of its experience. It's taken us to the Near East, Italy, colonial America, and in the upcoming Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, to Blackbeard's Caribbean. But as we learn from an interview with AC4's game director Ashraf Ismail at Examiner, it now takes a small army of developers to craft
To absolutely no one's surprise, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will launch with a DLC season pass. Following in the footsteps of 2012's Assassin's Creed 3, and countless other high-profile games, Black Flag will try to preemptively sell you downloadable content right out of the box. And now we know that the single-player portion of the pass will not focus on main character Edward Kenway.
It all started in Hong Kong twelve years ago with the first Hitman game. You're given a target, a pistol and a disassembled sniper rifle. And something is odd.
People are obsessed with pirate ships. Before we sat down to chat proper, Assassin's Creed IV game director Ashraf Ismail told me a story about how one playtester became so enamoured with the Jackdaw that he spent hours boarding it from every possible angle. "You know, we kinda needed to get some other things tested, but we let him at it anyway," Ismail laughed.
More and more new games every year are sequels, so I guess the next logical step is enormous collections of previously released games. Bethesda announced at QuakeCon that every Elder Scrolls game would be available, and now Ubisoft is following suit with the Assassin's Creed Heritage Collection. Available on November 8, the Heritage Collection will include Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 2,

TUESDAY, April 14 (HealthDay News) -- Incidents of hypoglycemia in older patients with type 2 diabetes increase the risk of their eventually developing dementia, according to a study in the April 15 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Rachel A. Whitmer, Ph.D., of Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., and colleagues conducted a longitudinal study of 16,667 patients (mean age of 65 years) with type 2 diabetes. Hypoglycemic events that occurred from 1980 to 2002 were identified from hospital and emergency department records, and then followed up until 2007 to determine whether dementia diagnoses developed. From these data, the risk of developing dementia was calculated using Cox proportional hazard regression models.
The investigators found that dementia was eventually diagnosed in 1,822 patients, among whom 250 had had at least one hypoglycemia incident. Compared to patients with no hypoglycemia incidents, the group had an elevated risk of dementia that increased with the number of episodes. The adjusted hazard ratios were 1.26 for one hypoglycemic incident, 1.80 for two incidents, and 1.94 for three or more incidents. The risk of dementia attributable to hypoglycemic incidents was 2.39 percent per year, the researchers report.
"Among older patients with type 2 diabetes, a history of severe hypoglycemic episodes was associated with a greater risk of dementia. Whether minor hypoglycemic episodes increase risk of dementia is unknown," the authors write.

The Epi Info™ Community Health Assessment Tutorial was produced by the collaborative efforts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Assessment Initiative (AI), and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).
The tutorial introduces you to the basic concepts of Epi Info™ with a series of ten lessons, along with a lesson for Intermediate Analysis that contains more advanced concepts. It is recommended that you follow the lessons in the order presented, as each lesson builds upon knowledge gained from the previous lesson. The Intermediate Analysis lesson introduces some advanced skills and uses data relevant to everyday epidemiologic work.
The Epi Info™ Community Health Assessment Tutorial includes a survey adapted from New York State; however, the survey data used for the analyses were created for the tutorial. Anonymous data relating to New York State were taken from different datasets referenced in Appendix I: Data Sources. The survey and datasets presented here relate to Community Health Assessments, and specifically Asthma; however, they can be used to teach the Epi Info™ program to any user and to illustrate how the program can be used to gather, analyze, and present data.
To complete the tutorial you will need the latest version of Epi Info™, a copy of the tutorial, and the sample datasets and project files. Once installed, Epi Info™ creates a folder on the C: drive called Epi_Info. Within the Epi_Info folder, create a new folder called EIHA Tutorial.

I love African Violet. This little plant has so many varieties and types of flowers. I used to plant many different types in my office when I was working. I watered them using fish water from a fish tank that my other colleague had. My office was facing east and had really good sun. The little plants thrived so well. They provided me so much relaxing moments during working hours.
Today I had surprise of the color raw umber. It is really opaque comparing to other colors. I had the habit that try to finish everything at one go and used a bit thick of this raw umber. It gives so many particles and the surprise result of dots here and there. I think it is nice.

Inorganic Nitrogen Deposition and Its Impacts on N:P-Ratios and Lake Productivity
Department of Biosciences, Center for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1066 Blindern, Oslo 0316, Norway
Received: 21 February 2013 / Revised: 4 March 2013 / Accepted: 14 March 2013 / Published: 25 March 2013
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Inorganic Pollution of Water Environment)
The pronounced increase in the cycling and deposition of biologically reactive dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) over large areas globally not only cause increased concentrations of DIN in surface waters, but it will also affect nutrient ratios in rivers, lakes and coastal areas. This review addresses the flux and fate of DIN, focusing NO3 in lakes of boreal and alpine catchments. Not only DIN-deposition, but also catchment properties strongly affect the concentrations of NO3 in lakes, as well as NO3:total P (TP) ratios. This ratio displays an extreme variability, and does also serve as an indicator of shift between N and P-limitation of aquatic autotrophs. A high share of forests and bogs in the catchment generally decreases NO3:total P ratios, while alpine and subalpine catchments with sparse vegetation cover may have high NO3:total P ratios, especially in regions with high DIN-deposition. Several empirical and experimental studies indicate a shift from an initial N to P-limitation, but for N-limited lakes, an increased growth of phytoplankton, periphytes and macrophytes may be accredited to elevated inputs of DIN. An intensified P-limitation may also be a consequence of elevated DIN-deposition. This P-limitation may again yield higher C:P-ratios in autotrophs with negative impacts on grazers and higher trophic levels.Keywords:

Product Description
A series of devastating tornadoes, unleashed by enemy mages in the recent war has left all the king's castles in ruin. Only the foundations of these once magnificent monuments remain. He has charged his sons with rebuilding his castles and promised the throne to the one who can rebuild the tallest and largest castles.
Each prince has 6 knights to supervise the building. Two or more princes may work together on a castle with their knights competing to control the highest towers of the castle. Once each year, the king will tour the castles, to judge the progress of each son. After he finishes the third tour, he will choose his successor and the winner!
This edition of Torres has all new artwork.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4.3 in 29 reviews
Ok so I've played the Spiel des Jahres games from 1999 (Tikal), 2000 (Torres) and 2001 (Carcassonne). I currently own almost every incarnation of Carcassonne, plus all of it's various expansion sets, and I now own Torres. Soon I will get Tikal... and I'll be reviewing that game soon too. Plus I'm thinking I need to put together a shopping list here with all the Spiel des Jahres winners from 1978 to today.
I love games where you have lots of kewl pieces, and get to build things. Carcassonne is a neat builder game, but only in 2 dimensions, that is to say laterally (or flat) only. In Torres you get to build laterally and vertically. It's relatively simple to learn the mechanics, however getting down a decent strategy could take several games, or even several gaming sessions to find one that works best. Players are given a set number of castle segments based on how many players are in the game. There are several rounds per turn, and 3 turns per game. Players in turn use their action points to: place new castle segments, move an "in play" meeple, or to put "in play" a new meeple from their supply. It's best to place as many of your castle pieces as possible. Left over castle pieces are held over to the next stack and can be placed during the player's next turn. To put it mildly if you "hold over" too many castle pieces it makes it difficult for you to score more points, and build your own castles up. However! It is possible to "leech" points from another player's castle, so perhaps your strategy might be to move and position your meeples to steal (or leech) off your opponents hard work. But it's a lot harder to this than it is to build your own castles. And given the limited amount of action points you get per round, it's best to get as many castle pieces on the board as possible.
The king adds another layer where players who can get into the castle where the king is, and be on the same level as the king meeple, can score extra points. There are action cards which also add another dimension allowing players to jump over opponents meeples, and other special abilities allowing for more scoring opportunities. And there are a few optional scoring cards to add yet another layer of scoring for the more advanced player.
Overall, this is one hell of a game, it can be fast paced, depending on the number of players and their skill levels, but as you play it, the games will become faster and easier to finish. Not a very good travel game, there are far too many pieces to loose, and is certainly not recommended. Although it travels well to a friend's house for a game session, don't take it out on a hike. As befitting a Spiel des Jahres game... 5 stars.
Torres is a tactically challenging and very intelligent game by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling (Java, Australia and many more). The new edition, published by Rio Grande Games is gorgeous, this is one of the best looking games in my collection, and one of the most stimulating. The very clever movement of the Knights means that every game is bound to produce a move or two that takes the breath away from the other players, being responsible for one of those moves is one of the most satisfying game experiences you can have.
Watching the teetering towers grow and the knights move about makes for a very enjoyable game that is both intelligently challenging and aesthetically pleasing. There aren't many games I have played where players are up and down in their seats all game (to better see what is going on), and where they are glued to what is happening on the board.
The theme in Torres is weak, but if you can put that aside and look at it for what it is you will find a very enjoyable game. In Torres players make use of an 'action point system', where players spend their allotted action points on the various actions available to them, all his means that every turn is an agonizing process of attempting to choose the most cost effective actions for you during your turn. Each turn in Torres is gripping and tough, because of the variety of actions available and the limited amount of action points you receive to spend every turn, you always want to be able to do more than you can when it is your turn, and this makes for a tense and challenging game. Torres is one of the best scaling games I own – meaning that it plays well with 2, 3 or 4; most games don't scale anywhere near as well. The player aids are useful and informative and the action cards easy to use without reference once you have read their descriptions in the rulebook. One of the great sides to this game is the fact that it doesn't take long to play, even with the full compliment of players, which means you get a full dose of rewarding play in quite a short time – which is great.
In Torres there is also a set of Master Cards – which provide a range of optional scoring rules for the game. These Master Cards mean that Torres has a huge amount of re-playability, you can play with none, or with as many as you like, and each inclusion alters the game just enough to provide a new challenge for the players. Torres is one of the cleverest and most thought-provoking games in my collection; it is a gorgeous production that looks so good you often want to leave all the little towers standing – especially if you built the largest! If you love thinking games, or abstract games like Chess or Go, then Torres is a game you will enjoy immensely, and that will reward repeat play.
I am an experienced gamer (20+ years) and I bought this game recently. My first time out, I said, nice game, big deal. Then I really tried the game again, delving into the strategy and gameplay. It is fantastic, it makes Settlers, Tikal, Mexica, Carcassone, all seem like child's play. The game is simple, but the strategy is beautiful. Very few board games work both on a 2 player and a 4 player model as beautiful as this game. There are traces of Acquire and Chess that blend together to offer almost zero chance (random cards give chance) and loads the game with pure strategy. I went against two players who thought they had me beat, they shut me down, but through some clever building, I won by 269 points, they came in at 268 and 267, they were amazed, it was an incredible comeback! How many games with a scoring table in the upper 200s allow for such tight and exciting play.
A description doesn't do justice and in all honesty the setting is irrelevant, but if you like the games I mentioned above, you must get this game! No joke! Give a few tries, since the rules and strategy must be well understood to truly appreciate the concept.
Good Gaming! -JDM

SOUTH HADLEY – Sledding, board games, cookie decorating, live music, local celebrities and free hot dogs and hamburgers will be among the enticements at South Hadley's second annual Community Winter Carnival on Feb. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at South Hadley High School.
The festival drew 700 people in its first year, according to founder and co-organizer Emily Pritchard. Admission is free.
"We'll have Bingo games and trivia games like Jeopardy in the school library," said Pritchard, "and older students will read to younger kids for the read-aloud segment."
Outdoors there will be sledding, a snowman-building contest and "Ultimate Frisbee in the snow."
A chili cook-off will require contestants to bring in their favorite chili recipes, already cooked, at 9 a.m., before the festival officially starts. Among the judges will be Jacob Sorbi, sous-chef at the Food 101 restaurant at the Village Commons.
South Hadley resident Thomas Wallace will be manning a booth where children can get down on their hands and knees to play marbles.
Visitors can also dance to the music of high school math teacher Gary Hall and his Faculty Band, while South Hadley High's mascot, the Tiger, will be padding around the halls in a big furry tiger costume. Art teacher Maureen McNally will offer a "Pinch Pot Class" in which visitors can learn how to make a lidded or footed pot in a hour. The pots will be fired and available for pick-up a week later.
Police and firefighters will give demonstrations, and a coloring contest for kids will be decided by guest judges from the South Hadley Senior Center.
Pritchard said businesses in South Hadley have been generous in donating goods and services to the event. Last year, she said, the basket raffles raised $800, which was donated to the Senior Center.
"This year the proceeds will go to the food pantry," said Pritchard, referring to Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a new resource housed at United Methodist Church.
She said the carnival is part of a town-wide effort to build connections among its residents, which in turn "contributes to accountability."
And besides, said Wallace, "It's wonderful to see a smile on a kid's face."
South Hadley Community Winter Carnival has something for everyone

For that money you might want to look at a new Pacific Seacraft 37. Ocean rated like the Hans Christian with a similar traditional look but larger in size. The 33T is very nice, but for that money, you should really want to keep her for a long time and look at it from a style, comfort, what you like point of view and not just $$. If I could afford it, I would get a new 41 Traditional with the hard dodger option. There are plenty of used Hans Christians for sale on various online sites if you want to go that route and use the savings to do any upgrades you want. From what I have seen, they are definately rugged enough to stand up over time, so a 15 or 20 year old boat with some equipment upgrades may not be a bad way to go. The basic structure is very sound.

AirPrint printer suggestions?
I'm in the market looking for an AirPrint compatible Printer. I'm leaning towards monochrome laser printers, but, TBH, after spending too much time, I have also started considering inkjet printers... that is what happens when you are too perfectionist; you reach a breaking point, you are no more productive and waste a lot of time. Anyway, my requirements are: - Monochrome laser printer- AirPrint compatible - Wired ethernet interface- (optional) duplex printing and I want it for our house, so no need for a workhorse. I've decided in favour of laser printers because we don't print very often. Using a printer not frequently does not go hand in hand with inkjet printers I would say... If the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w featured wired ethernet connection, I would have bought it already. This printer would be perfect otherwise because it is cheap. Thanks in advance for your comments, Marc |

AnyPrint™ (formerly AirPrint Activator) enables you to print from your iOS devices on legacy printers that do not support the AirPrint protocol. You can download it here. This will make your search for a printer less restrictive.

Any reason why it must be wired? I have the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W and it's a great printer - works fine with iPhone and iPad too.

I have the HP 1536dnf. It's an multifunction laser printer/fax/scanner/copier. It's got Airprint (and ePrint for android users). It's also got an auto-duplexer. It's ethernet only and it's fast.
They go for $330 now, but when I bought it, they were $300. I got it at Staples when they had a $50 sale, plus I recycled an old printer for another $50. My total cash outlay was $200 plus tax. Anyways, if you don't want or need the copier/scanner features, HP just intro'd the 1606dn. It's the same printer, just without the scanner bed. It goes for $210 or so. It's got an auto-duplexer and ethernet as well. Of course it's Airprint compatible.

Thanks for your response ftaok. Your printer is quite appealing!! The thing is that I very rarely print at home, and spending even 200$ feels like a lot for my printing profile. I was expecting I would be able to find a website specialised in Airprint printers. I expected I could easily find a comparison chart -prices, opinions, cost per printed sheet- with, at least, the printers detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356, but I just can't seem to find it. GGJstudios, I'm planning to buy a Mac Mini server. If I decided to go down the server route, and I added printopia or Airprint Activator, what would happen if my mini is in stand-by? will the printer be announced over the network? Does AirPrint Activator or Printopia work with networked printers, or must they be connected over usb? |

AirPrint only over wireless
just an FYI that if you purchase a printer with official AirPrint support, the official AirPrint function only works when using the wireless connection of the printer. If the printer has both wired and wireless ethernet, official AirPrint will only work when the printer is connected to your network using the printer's wifi connection. Weird, but this was my experience, and the reply from tech support.
AirPrint activator as has been mentioned, will let you use pretty much any printer, and the printer can be connected through wired ethernet. |

I have not yet found a website specialised in Airprint printers on which one could easily find a comparison chart -prices, opinions, cost per printed sheet- with even a subset of the printers detailed by Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356. Do you happen to know any website which could be helpful? Can anybody comment on one previous question I posted here? Quote:

I have the Airprint Epson Stylus SX535WD, it's onm all the time and simply sleeps when not in use. Prints from all 3 Maca and my IP5 and Ipad4 too.
Double sided printing and OCR scanning are also excellent: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epson-Sx535W...3500104&sr=8-2 The US model goes by a different name....Have a buddy in mA who has one too. Highly recommended.

If you're infrequently printing monochrome, the Epson Expression Home XP-400 might be worth a look. It also gives you the possibility to print in color or even photos, scan and copy documents, should the need ever arise.
If you really need a monochrome printer, get the Brother HL-5450DN. |

I ended up going for a Samsung 3405FW. It is a mfp (fulfills all my needs) but it does not do 2 thing I wanted: AirPrint and automatic duplex. I worked AirPrint around using HandyPrints and if I want to print double sided I have to use manual duplexing. I put together a excel with several models and made my choice based on it. This printer is ok in terms of physical dimensions, it features wireless and wired networking and it can be ordered in grey/white color so swmbo is happy with my choice. This model runs for about 120 on amazon Spain so it is a pretty good deal if you are after the same things I was. Any questions just ask. Regards

I don't have any issues with not being able to connect. Admittedly, I really only print from Safari and not with any other apps. I'll try it out tonight with another app. Any app in particular you want me to try out? ft

I use a BrotherMFC-J430W for about two years now. It's a WiFi printer and AirPrint enabled. I have never had a printer works so seamless with my Macs, not HP, Not Epson, Not Cannon. And the ink cartridges are easy to load (front loading), not need to dig your hands inside the printer and risk getting your fingers chop off by the moving parts, and the ink cartridges are inexpensive, the only down side I can found is the construction is a bit flimsy.

If I had it to do over I would buy any other brand but Brother. Never again.

Erie Otters rookie winger Andre Burakovsky, 18, was atop the OHL's rookie scoring list one day. Then he was off the list the next.
According to league rules, he isn't eligible for the rookie scoring title because of he's too old. The rule is as follows:
"In order to be considered a rookie in the Ontario Hockey League, a player must begin their first season of play in their seventeenth (17th) birth year or younger. Second-year players that are in their seventeenth (17th) birth year or younger would also receive rookie status if they played in less than a quarter of the regular season the previous year."

VLSI Design

Previous efforts to build hardware accelerators for VLSI layout Design Rule Checking (DRC) were hobbled by the fact that it is often impractical to build a different rulechecking ASIC each time design rules or fabrication processes change. In this paper, we propose a configurable hardware approach to DRC. It can garner impressive speedups over software approaches, while retaining the flexibility needed to change the rule checker as rules or processes change.
Our work proposes an edge-endpoints-based method for performing Manhattan geometry checking and a general scalable architecture for DRC. We then demonstrate our approach by applying this architecture to a set of design rules for MOSIS SCN4N_SUB process. We have implemented several design rule checks within a single Xilinx XC4013 FPGA and demonstrated overall speedups in excess of 25X over software methods. We have used a Compaq Pamette board to do the hardware prototyping and have achieved a clock rate of 33 MHz.

The headline got us immediately: Arment Dietrich CEO and Spin Sucks blogger Gini Dietrich promised to reveal the "worst PR jargon" as reported by more than 500 journalists, editors and correspondents who participated in UK PR firm 1238's annual "buzzword report."
We don't know that journalists are the impatient jerks they're made out to be, but we've been on both sides of this equation, so we get it.
Now we don't want to go all negative on you guys and scare you into writing bland pitches, so we thought we'd re-work it a bit: Here's a list of words and phrases you should try (for the most part) to avoid in your pitch messages, along with some alternative suggestions that we hope are helpful.
- Starting pitches with "So…": We realize that we do this with posts, but we're a blog so we can get away with it. Communications folks should stay relatively formal while conveying their excitement about their client/firm's latest project. "Dear" is a little weird, but "Hi, Patrick" works just fine. (And we prefer "Hi" to "Hey" unless you actually know us, but that's a personal thing.)
- "Dynamic": We know you're excited, but maybe back off a bit and call it "interesting" or "intriguing" or even "unique."
- "Paradigm": In most cases this means "the current state of things", so that phrase will probably work. For example, "the current state of social media" or "today's social media world" makes more sense than "the social media paradigm."
- "Elite": "Exclusive" is OK here. We know you can't say "expensive" or "available only to certain wealthy/famous people", but we get it.
- "Hotly Anticipated": "Upcoming" or "soon to be announced" doesn't sound quite as exciting, but it is usually just as accurate.
- "End User": Just write "user" or, even better, "customer" or "consumer". We'll get it.
- "Influencer": We understand that someone like, say, Richard Branson has a lot more LinkedIn followers than pretty much anyone else, but in most cases calling someone an "influencer" reads a little weird. "Popular LinkedIn personality" or "public speaker" makes the point.
- "Evangelists": This is just another word for "enthusiast" or "promoter". And we hope it goes away soon.
- "Deliverables": Too vague. Be specific: do you mean "content"? You probably mean content.
- "Icon/Iconic": If you're talking about Michael Jackson or the Coca-Cola logo, sure. In most other cases, "popular" or "longstanding" will work.
- "Rocketed": We guess a pop song could "rocket" to the top of the charts, but "grew quickly" or "made gains" or even "attracted attention" are usually better suited to businesses or campaigns.
- "Astonishing": Better fit for Ripley's Believe It or Not than a pitch note.
- "Marquee event/client": Doesn't tell us much. "big-name" or "well-known" or even "established" works if you mean "something you've probably heard of."
- "Going forward": We don't really mind this one so much, but "from now on" or "in the future" will probably convey the same sentiment.
- "Ongoing": Again a little vague. Do you mean "continuous" like a project with no end date? That's what we assume when we see this word. If you just mean "it's not quite ready yet but it will be," then don't be afraid to write that.
- "Optimized": "Fully operational?" "Redesigned?" "New and improved?" Bueller?
- "Horizontal" and "vertical": This is more like business jargon, isn't it? "Vertical" means "designed with a specific audience in mind" while "horizontal" means "available to the general public", so it would really be better to just write that out.
- "Phygital": Kind of like "PRketing", this means "a meeting of the physical and digital worlds". Just avoid it. Please.
- "SoMoLo": Very glad to say this is the first we've heard of this one. It means social-mobile-local, almost always referring to apps and other smartphone-based products. Only use this when addressing marketing departments.
- "Well-positioned": Meaning "we think and hope that it will do well". If it's a startup, just tell us that it is an innovative product with a lot of capital behind it and that it's therefore "prepared" to perform well in its given market.
- "Providing solutions": Love this one. Usually means "addressing a particular need" or "helping someone run his/her business", so it's better to be more specific. Rather than writing "provides marketing solutions", write "provides a convenient platform for marketing campaigns". A little dull, but accurate!
We apologize if we've used some of these phrases ourselves. We never claimed to be perfect!
Any other suggestions or thoughts on this list?

The President of River Plate raised doubts over Esteban Cambiasso's future by claiming "he'll play in the United States."
Cambiasso has been at San Siro since joining as a free agent from Real Madrid in July 2004.
"I would really love to bring him back here, but when he leaves Inter he will continue to play in the United States," River Plate President Rodolfo D'Onofrio told Telam in Argentina.
Cambiasso turns 34 in August and his contract expires in June, so it is entirely possible this will be his final campaign at Inter.
According to D'Onofrio, 'Cuchu' has already decided his future will be in the MLS.

More gift ideas for her
Why do we get gifts?
What are gifts for? That's the first question to ask. At AskHerFriends, we believe that gifts represent something more fundamental – and fundamentally human. They don't have to be expensive, they don't need to cost anything at all, but what they should do is show the recipient that you care for and cherish them, and want to do something special for them. That's why we believe that the idea that someone can say ' I want this for my birthday or for Christmas', whilst having perfectly valid reasons behind it (nobody likes the awkward moment of 'why did you get me this?') takes the meaning away from a gift, takes away its special nature. We believe that with a little time and effort, you can get the perfect present for anyone, no matter how hard they are to 'buy' for (and if they've got everything, don't buy them something – make them something, or give them something that you can't buy, like time or attention). All we're trying to do at AskHerFriends is just make it that little bit easier for everyone.

Laxman, Dhoni torment Windies
MS Dhoni plays a shot against West Indies in Kolkata on Tuesday. Dhoni scored 144.

IOA writes to PM on S Asian Games

Laxman, Dhoni torment Windies
Kolkata, November 15 While the light was never good in the city, there was nothing dim about the manner in which the Indian batting went about in its business. Another fine hundred from VVS Laxman and a blazing century from Mahendra Singh Dhoni enabled them to declare at 631 for seven on Day Two of the second Test, Laxman remaining unbeaten on 176 and the captain scoring 144. The Caribbeans, hammered into submission on the field, were struggling at 34 for two when the weather closed in and bad light stopped play, with 12 overs left to bowl. Laxmans Eden sojourn is a collectors item. The Hyderabadi has scored five centuries at Eden now and only once has been dismissed, that coming in that legendary 281 against Australia in 2001. Even today, he wasnt ever going to be in trouble, barring an odd inside edge and it was just a matter of time before he reached three figures this morning. By the time Dhoni declared, about 15 minutes after tea, Laxman had been at the crease for 394 minutes, having faced 280 balls and found the boundary 12 times. Lazy elegance at its champagne best. There is nothing elegant about Dhoni. But his effectiveness as a quick scorer has been established time and again. The West Indies attack wasnt going to be much of a challenge and he went about accumulating runs as only he can. The West Indies, always on the backfoot, paid for their indiscipline dearly. Dhoni was caught behind twice - on scores of 13 and 16 - both times off Kemar Roach. But on both occasions, the fast bowler overstepped and the Windies fielders crumpled to the ground in disbelief. This attack is hard-pressed to get wickets but to get a hitter like Dhoni twice, of no-balls, was a disaster. Dhoni thereafter made them pay. He clobbered the bowling around with his own brand of orthodox, unorthodox and disdain. Ten boundaries and five huge sixes came off his bat as India began their race to pile on the runs. But while he does have the weapons, Dhonis captaincy sometimes leaves one wondering. He could well have declared at tea, with India on 613 for six, but hung around till after the break. Dhoni edged Roach to Carlton Baugh again and this time the delivery was legal. But he still waited and Ravichandran Ashwin came in to bat. But soon thereafter, the innings was called off. What was achieved by playing a few extra minutes is best left to Dhonis plans. The West Indies were dented straightaway in their innings. Umesh Yadavs searing delivery caught the edge of Adrian Baraths bat and Virender Sehwag took a sharp catch at second slip. Kraigg Brathwaite escaped once when substitute Virat Kohli dropped a sitter at short-leg off Ashwin, but the off-spinner was given the wicket later, as Brathwaite was adjudged caught at short-leg by Gautam Gambhir. The West Indies are in trouble and little seems to be going their way. With 64 minutes of play lost in the day, including 19 before lunch, play begins at 8.30 a.m. tomorrow. Maybe the weather will come to the visitors aid again.

Laxman revels in his own Eden
Kolkata, November 15 I have always enjoyed batting at the Eden Gardens, Laxman said in classic understatement after his knock of 176 not out. Not just batting, all the Test matches I have played here, I have really enjoyed playing at the Eden Gardens. Its a great ground with a lot of history. Probably the spectators make it special. Even though there were not a lot in this Test match, the people of Kolkata make it special and it is a special ground for all of us. Asked if he rated his innings in terms of satisfaction, Laxman said: I am not one who rates my innings but any knock that you contribute to the team is always good. Hopefully, this knock will help the team win the game. I rate any knock which helps the team win more valuable than making runs in a losing cause. The wicket is already turning and there is good bounce for the spinners. Hopefully, our bowlers can bowl in the right areas and we can win the game. Definitely it was a relief to get a hundred, the Hyderabad batsman said about invariably batting for big scores when the team was in trouble. The last hundred I got was against Sri Lanka in the last Test match at P Sara (Colombo) where the team was under tremendous pressure. After that, I have played knocks in pressure situations. Luckily, in this Test match, Sehwag and Gautam gave us a good start and obviously Rahul and Sachin had a good partnership. When I went in to bat, the position wasnt very challenging but it was important for us to build a partnership at that stage and thats what me and Rahul tried to do. It was also important to get a big score in the first innings specially seeing the nature of the wicket where it will deteriorate on the third and fourth days. It was satisfying to get a hundred after a long gap. Even though I had some valuable 50s under my belt, it is always satisfying to get a hundred. Asked if this hiatus of 15 Tests where he had gone without a century was beginning to worry him, he responded: I think thats one of the challenges which I had. Especially with Paddy Upton who was the mental conditioner, we tried various strategies about how to get the best out of me especially when I am in a situation where the team is not under a lot of pressure. This is the first time in a long time where the team is not in a difficult or challenging position and I have gone and got a hundred. |
IOA writes to PM on S Asian Games
New Delhi, November 15 The letter clarified that the IOA did not make any bid for these Games and they were allotted to India because of the rotation system. SAG, earlier known as the South Asian Federation (SAF) Games, are part of the SAARC Charter according to which, the Games have to be rotated amongst the member states. As per Article 12 (4) of the South Asia Olympic Constitution, the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the country on which the responsibility of the celebration of the Games fall, shall organise the Games on its own or it may delegate this authority to an Organising Committee, which shall act under the guidance of the NOC, Malhotra explained in his letter to the PM. He said the meeting, to be presided by the Prime Minister, needed to be convened to discuss the planning and conduct of the Games which is a National commitment, because India is a founder-member of SAARC. Malhotra said with Delhi having huge sports infrastructure, the SAG could be conducted at minimal cost. He revealed that Bangladesh, which hosted the last edition of SAG, incurred an expenditure of only Rs 80 crore. It should cost us much less, as we dont have to spend anything on creation of stadiums, the letter stated. The letter was to know whether the Government is interested in hosting the Games or not |
Kabaddi: India, Canada win
Mansa, November 15 Also, US and UK girls teams ended in draw (36-36) while England beat Nepal (63-18). In the first match between US and UK, UK made an impressive lead, however US then managed to get two points on technical grounds as one of the player from UK was absent from the playground. US got an extra point in the first half and second point in the second half. UK raiders Laoumi Minius and Miss Terssia got 5 points each.

Nalini sets the pace
Panchkula, November 15 But Nalini Singh Siwach was revelling even in these challenging conditions. She ended with the best round of the day with one-under 72 and now has a net score of 147 after two rounds. In the process, Nalini overtook yesterdays leaders Sharmila Nicollet and Saaniya Sharma. Bangalores Sharmila ended the second round at four-over 150. On the fifth hole today, she made a double-bogey and then she spoiled her score further on the eighteenth with another double-bogey. On the other hand, local golfer Saaniya made five-over and ended the day at a score of 151. For sure, it took time for Saaniya to find consistentency in her shot-making today as she made a double-bogey on the opening hole. But she soon was back in her stride with a birdie on the next hole. The tussle has always been between the tours two best golfers, Saaniya and Sharmila and both pose tough competition to each other, but Saaniya seems to enjoy her duels with Sharmila every time. We always have fun when we play together so I dont see any competition. I did mess up my score on the first and the last holes but I enjoyed my game overall, Saaniya said after the days play. Saaniya has come back after a long injury break but slowly she is getting back into her rhythm. It is very painful while playing because I am suffering from a cartilage injury and have a strain in both my ankles. But I am not going to sit back because golf is what I enjoy the most and I only want to play. I am not planning to take any position here but I just want to finish this leg." |
Determined on Sports Bill
New Delhi, November 15 But this time, Maken is sparing no effort to make it loophole-free so that it gets the Committees nod before being introduced in Parliament. Once the bill comes to Parliament, I am confident of its passage, Maken had recently. He said the draft was being given final shape, which will be completed in a fortnight. But in the meanwhile, he has got support from many quarters, expressing their support for the proposed bill, which he hopes to put before Parliament in the coming winter session. Though age and tenure limits are major contentious factors in the bill, being opposed by many of the National Sports Federations (NSFs) and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Makens challenge will be to bring the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the bills ambit and under the Right to Information (RTI) Act and to ensure at least 25 per cent representation for sportspersons in each NSF. Maken is keen that the reins of the federations are controlled by sportspersons, which could be ensured only if they have a substantial representation there. This clause has got wide support not only from sportspersons but also from over 28 NSFs, who have written to Maken pledging their support. He earned the goodwill of the sportspersons and coaches when he cleared all the backlog of pending payments of award money due to them. He also promised that henceforth, two functions will be held in the space of six months every year to honour medal winners in international competitions. He is also set to create another constituency of faithful supporters with his announcement to reward the traditional coaches who do talent-spotting and initial grooming before the athletes graduate to greater level of scientific coaching. So far, the cash rewards were hogged mostly by the National coaches who are in the spotlight, without the grassroot moulders getting any incentive. Maken is determined to set right this anomaly by chalking out a reward scheme for traditional coaches as well, which the minister formally announced while distributing over Rs 8 crore to sportspersons and coaches at the National Stadium here yesterday. (Earlier, the Government used to honour the traditional coaches with the Dronacharya Award, which benefited veteran traditional coaches, like the late wrestling coach Guru Hanuman and Capt. Chandroop). |
Anti-doping officer threatened, given security cover
Patiala, November 15 Interestingly certain officials attached with the teams were also feeling threatened by Dr Munishs deeds who was taking selective sampling in all matches. Sources said following increasing threats security had been given to Dr Munish. I have been provided with two armed policemen following my request for the same as I was not feeling comfortable after the increasing number of dope cases in this tournament, Chander told The Tribune. I have brought the matter to the notice of the concerned officials and it is over for now, though someone informed me about threat to my life and I decided to take that advice seriously, he added. Speaking on the issue, NADA Chief Rahul Bhatnagar said that ensuring the security of anyone appointed to check doping is of the organizing committee and I am hopeful that they do their duty, he said. |
