That brings up another question. As far as next year's Beijing Olympics are concerned, one would normally assume that if Paula Radcliffe returns to form at all and wants to do the marathon, that she would get on the British team, and Mara Yamauchi might be the second person to be picked. Can we assume that's the event you want to run in Beijing?
KB: I'm still not quite decided. I'm a little wary of the way the weather's going to be in Beijing. I think if I do make the team in the marathon, I'll do everything I can to prepare for those conditions. In that situation, I'll probably be fine. But I'm still not ruling out that 10k side of things either.
What would the selection of a third marathoner for Britain be based on? Might this Chicago result count? Is there any actual Trial per se?
KB: Technically, London's the trial. But it's not cut and dry in that it's not first three across the line that get the spots. I guess they will take into consideration all performances, including this one (Chicago), especially because for Liz (Yelling) and I, it is a head to head competition. There are quite a few others who are within range; they have the qualifying time or are within range of it.
So they'll expect you to be back in London in the spring?
KB: I would think barring running 2:24 or 2:25 in a week and a half, yeah.
Is there anything you've seen in your training or racing this year that makes you think you can take a sizeable chunk off last year's 2:28:39?
KB: Last year, I really felt I could have run a lot faster when I ran that time. The conditions were pretty poor in the last ten miles, and I was running most of it on my own. I really finished thinking I could have run faster, but obviously, that's the way it goes with road running. And I think I've done a fairly similar preparation. I haven't had the same racing season in the summer that I had last year. I think things have started to come around in training over the last two months and put me where I was last year, going in. So hopefully, with some cooperation from the weather, there's a decent chunk of time to come off.
KB: Almost two years. It's 20 or 25 minutes from Boulder straight up in the mountains, up the canyon. It's 8,200 feet. I do most of my hard faster stuff in Boulder, 'cause it's so close, but I'll do the majority of my normal kind of running up here. And I was also just in Palo Alto and Mammoth Lakes for three weeks, because that's where my coach, Peter Tegen, coaches. Stanford had their training camp at Mammoth Lakes.
Eighty-two hundred feet is a little higher than we hear from most athletes training at altitude; we're tending to hear that 7000 feet is almost ideal. Did it take a big adjustment to train at 8200? Do you have to accept the fact that when everyone else might say they'll do such-and-such an amount of miles at 5:30 pace, for you that might have to be 5:45 pace.
KB: Yeah, I think you just have to make sure to not over do it, pacewise, and it takes more recovery. Mammoth is almost the same as here, so it's pretty similar to that whole group that trains in Mammoth. A lot of people who come here to train might live in Boulder and come here to run. It's actually an altitude that a lot of people run at quite a bit. But living up here, you need to be sure to recover properly. I try to concentrate on the effort that I'm running and not worry too much about the pace when I'm running up here.

Device: Sure-T or Quick-Set
Participants will wear Quick-Set Teflon Catheter or Sure-T Steel Infusion Set Catheter for 2 weeks each during the active study time
Detailed Description:
If you choose to participate, you will be assigned to start with either a Quick-Set Teflon Catheter or a Sure-T Steel Catheter for your insulin pump infusion set. You will alternate catheter types weekly for four weeks; ie, at the end of the study, you will have used a Teflon catheter for two weeks, and a steel catheter for two weeks. We will ask you to wear each catheter once it is inserted for one week, or until the infusion set fails. Infusion set failure is defined as: 1) Blood ketones greater than 0.6 mmol/L, 2) Evidence of infection at the infusion site (such as redness of more than 4 mm), or 3) Your blood glucose does not decrease by at least 50 mg/dL within 1 hour of a correction bolus to treat a blood glucose greater than 300 mg/dL.
You will be provided with an investigational Medtronic Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Enlite Sensor/Serter to help identify, serious hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia during the study. This sensor is not yet FDA approved, but is similar to commercially available sensors. If the sensor detects a high or low glucose, you must obtain a fingerstick glucose to confirm the result. All insulin dose decisions must be made using your home glucose meter results, and should not be based on sensor results. You will be instructed on how to identify infusion set failure. You will follow-up weekly in one of our test centers for a total of five visits:
Visit 1: The protocol will be reviewed. A fingerstick Hemoglobin A1c value will be obtained. Detailed instruction on use of the Medtronic Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) will take place. You will receive instruction on how to insert the insulin pump infusion set to which you have been initially assigned. You will fill a new reservoir with Novolog insulin, and insert the infusion set. You will be taught how to refill your pump reservoir, in case your insulin needs to be refilled before the insertion set needs to be changed. You will be instructed on how to recognize the signs of infusion set failure. You will also be instructed to monitor blood sugars at home with a glucose meter, and to check serum ketones if a blood sugar is >250 mg/dL. For this purpose, you will be provided with an Ultra glucose meter, and a Precision Xtra ketone meter, to be used during the study.
At home you will be asked to keep a log recording measurements of redness and induration at the infusion site when it is changed prior to the study visit.
Any blood sample collected will be destroyed once study is complete. We will not be storing samples.
Visit 2: Seven days after the first infusion set was inserted, the infusion and sensor insertion sites will be examined and photographed. The insulin pump, blood glucose meter, Precision Xtra ketone meter, and the CGM will have data downloaded for review. You will then have the other infusion set inserted; i.e. if you initially had a Sure-T Steel Catheter, you will now have a Quick-Set Teflon catheter placed (in a new location).
Visit 3: Follows the same protocol and uses the same type of insertion set as in visit 1.
Visit 4: Follows the same protocol and uses the same type of insertion set as in visit 2.
Visit 5: Seven days after the fourth infusion set was inserted, the infusion and sensor insertion sites will be examined and photographed. The insulin pump, blood glucose meter, Precision Xtra ketone meter, and the CGM will have data downloaded for review. This fifth visit will conclude your participation in the study. All study materials, including the Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), will be returned.

Feature Article Published in Flower News, November 23, 2002
Consumer Demand for Poinsettias May Be Brighter Over the Next Decade
Drs. Tom & Tim Prince, Prince & Prince, Inc., Columbus, Ohio
NOTE: Updated consumer floral-purchasing trends are now available in the Prince & Prince U.S. Consumer Floral Tracking Survey, now available as a one-day, on-site, comprehensive seminar, with Q&A session, or as a "Seminar on CD". Click on "SEMINARS" from the P&P Home Page.
According to Floriculture Crops reporting (USDA, NASS), about 67.4 million potted poinsettia plants were produced in the 36 states surveyed for 2001, with a wholesale value of about 256.2 million (a 4% gain in value over the previous season). Yet, little is known about the ultimate consumers of these Holiday plants. In this article, we model US consumer demographics that influence poinsettia purchasing, and show that the key demographics underlying poinsettia purchasing are favorable now, and are predicted to be even more favorable over the next decade. These trends support a projected increase in consumer demand for poinsettias in the US. The key challenge for poinsettia suppliers, growers, and retailers is to meet this upcoming demand opportunity with an ample supply of quality product.
Our Market Studies & Analyses
Since 1996, Prince & Prince has monitored the US consumer floral marketplace with its periodic nationwide survey, "Consumers Rate Their Floral Outlets". In these studies, we measured the consumer household incidence of purchasing numerous floral products, including potted poinsettias. By household purchasing incidence, we mean the purchase of one or more poinsettias by the household during the previous Holiday period.
In order to perform an in-depth analysis of demographic trends leading to future poinsettia purchasing, we pooled purchasing incidence data for poinsettias across our three study periods (1996, 1998, and 2000). This provided us data from over 3,300 randomly-selected floral buying households throughout the US. Due to the nature of our survey, our respondents tend to be floral buyers, as over 95% of our households had purchased at least one floral product over the prior year. The surveys also collected various consumer demographic measurements that are used in our analysis (Table 1).
Our methodology comprised "tree segmentation modeling", a data-mining research technique that is efficient in uncovering relationships in a database structure (see "About Our Analysis"). The output from this analysis results in a predictive tree diagram that succinctly shows how the purchasing of poinsettias and consumer demographics are related.
Household Poinsettia Purchasing
The left-most box in the tree diagram (see Figure) reveals that across 3,300+ randomly-selected floral-buying households nationwide, 38% had purchased at least one or more poinsettia plants annually. The household demographic characteristic that best distinguishes high and low purchase incidence of poinsettias (from all of those listed in Table 1) is the age of the respondent. This means that the age demographic is the most important underlying consumer factor that distinguishes poinsettia purchasing. Households where the respondent is aged 55-74 have a much higher likelihood of purchasing poinsettias, whereas households where the respondent is under 35 have a much lower purchase likelihood.
The top-third portion of our tree diagram explores poinsettia purchase likelihood for those aged 55-74. For this group, purchase likelihood is 48%, about 10 percentage points higher than the overall average. If an adult in these households has attained at least a college or professional degree, then purchase likelihood increases to 54%, and purchase likelihood jumps to 72% if these same higher-educated households are located in the South Atlantic region. Thus, age, education, and to a lesser extent, region, are key consumer demographics leading to higher likelihood of poinsettia purchase. For those aged 55-74 with a technical degree or less education, poinsettia purchase likelihood is lower at 42%, and drops to 22% if these more mature, lower-educated households are comprised of single males.
For households where the respondent is aged 35-54 or those aged 75 or older (middle-third portion of tree diagram), poinsettia purchase likelihood is similar to the overall average, 38%. For this group of consumers, household income further differentiates poinsettia purchase likelihood. If household income for this age group is over $75,000 annually, then poinsettia purchase likelihood increases to 46%, and rises higher if these households are in cities/towns and not comprised of single males. If household income for this age group is between $25,001-75,000 annually, then purchase likelihood is about 37%, and also rises higher if these households are not single adult households. If household income for this age group is $25,000 or less annually, then purchase likelihood drops to 24%, and drops further to 14% if these households are from our year 2000 study (compared to our earlier studies). This finding suggests that the beginning downturn in the US economy in 2000 was affecting some floral purchasing, being most evident for predominantly middle-aged, lower-income households.
The bottom portion of our tree diagram shows results for households where the age of the respondent is under 35. For this group, poinsettia purchase likelihood is lower at 27% (11% lower than the overall average). However, if these younger-aged households have annual incomes over $50,000, then purchasing incidence rises to 33%.
Trends in US Age Demographics
Since the age demographic is key to poinsettia purchase likelihood, we examined projected Census trends in the age of US consumer householders, from the year 2000 through the year 2010. This provided us an understanding as to how age trends may affect future consumer demand for poinsettias. Table 2 shows actual US household numbers and projections by age of householder for the discriminating age groups shown in our tree diagram (under 35, 35-54, 55-74, etc.).
For the 55-74 age group with the highest poinsettia purchase likelihood (48%), the predicted change in the number of these households through 2010 is a dramatic 32% increase (Table 2). This compares with a 9% increase in US households overall for the same time period. Thus, this large age demographic shift through 2010 will likely have a favorable impact on poinsettia demand by increasing the size of an age group that tends to buy more poinsettias.
For those households where the respondent is aged 35-54 and 75 or older, we predict modest gains in poinsettia demand, as purchase likelihood does not differ from the overall US average, and the gains in households only come from the "75 & Older" age group. For those households where the respondent is under 35, we predict softened poinsettia demand, as their current purchase likelihood is lowest, and the number of households in this age group is predicted to decline slightly through 2010. However, the slight loss in projected demand for this youngest age group will be largely overshadowed by the bigger projected gains in poinsettia demand of the elder segment.
This reporting has presented a model that predicts US household purchase incidence for poinsettias based on key demographic characteristics of consumer households, and how these demographics are projected to change in the future. Age, education level, and income level of the household are key demographic factors that currently drive poinsettia purchase. A large projected rise in the number of householders aged 55-74 in the US over the next decade, combined with a higher poinsettia purchase likelihood for this mature segment, provides the basis for a projected increase in poinsettia market demand.
An assumption made here is that purchasing patterns differ among age groups, and that the generational purchasing patterns of one age group do not carry-over unaltered into older age groups as the population matures. Research with some agricultural products show that the generational effect is small, compared with the age-group effect. Thus, as we age, we change and become more like our parents and grandparents, in tastes, habits and purchasing. However, this assumption has yet to be verified in the US floral industry with long-term studies over decades.
This marketing research also has implications for poinsettia suppliers, growers, and floral retailers. Suppliers and growers are challenged to meet this projected increase in market demand with ample product availability and acceptable product quality. Floral retailers may use the segmentation profiles of poinsettia purchasing to compare with their own market demographics and identify new market opportunities for poinsettias.

About Our Analysis. To identify household demographic characteristics that most influence the incidence of poinsettia purchasing, we performed a "tree segmentation" analysis of our database. This research technique searches through our database to develop a predictive tree diagram that depicts groups of households that have high and low purchasing incidence for poinsettias. The first branch in the tree diagram represents the best predictor demographic characteristic (of all those measured in Table 1) that most distinguishes high and low purchase incidence for poinsettias. The overall group of households is then split on this characteristic, and the analysis repeats itself on the resulting household demographic groups. Subsequent branches in the tree diagrams represent additional predictors of purchasing incidence. All splits and branches in the tree diagrams are statistically significant. In essence, our tree segmentation model identifies the highly significant household demographics that largely predict poinsettia purchase, and reveals the priority sequence of those demographic characteristics.
The five Census regions shown in Table 1 are identified by the following states: Northeast (CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT), North Central or Mid-West (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MO, MN, NE, ND, OH, SD, WI), South Atlantic (DC, DE, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, VA, WV), South Central (AL, AR, KY, LA, MS, OK, TN, TX), and West (AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY).

This project has been sitting in my project folder for over six months. I didn't change one thing today with it except I mastered it. May be a little loud but any quieter and the kicks wouldn't come through.
Going to be completely redone and then put onto my debut album. I may post the finished product on here, aw hell, of course it will be posted here.
If you vote below 3/5 please leave why in your review. All constructive criticism is appreciated. Please listen to the whole song before reviewing because then your review is on the whole song rather than just one part. Enjoy!
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
not really what id call music but everyone has their opinions
If it has instruments, you can bet that it's music.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is so cool! I was already screaming when I was listening to this song! This is the best Trance song I have ever heard in my life. I do make a lot of classical music but you encourage me to make something like this! This song is very encouraging. And it's full of life. And the tags, yes, I agree. This is just beautiful! pure win man, pure win.
Wow, haha thanks. this review has made my day!

Impacts on people.
The effects of climate change on people would change a lot from
place-to-place. Economically developed societies, like those in North
America, Europe and Japan, could use technology to reduce direct
impacts. For example, they might develop new crop varieties,
construct new water systems, and limit coastal development. Some
northern countries, such as Canada and Russia, might even benefit
from longer growing seasons and lower heating bills if the climate
becomes warmer.
In contrast, economically less developed societies, like those in parts of Africa, Asia, and South America depend much more directly on climate, and could be hit much harder by sudden or large changes. Places like coastal Bangladesh and low-lying islands, could be flooded by storms or rising sea level. Droughts in Africa might become more serious. Developing countries have far fewer resources for adapting to such changes. They may not be able to afford large projects such as sea walls or aqueducts. Peasant farmers may have difficulty adopting new agricultural practices. The resulting social tensions could lead to more political unrest, large-scale migrations, and serious international problems such as terrorism and wars.
Impacts on nature.
When scientists look at the past they find the natural environment
has often adapted to climate changes that have occurred gradually
over many thousands of years. However, they also find instances in
which changes have occurred rapidly, brought about by events such
as sudden shifts in ocean currents. These rapid changes have often
caused widespread species extinctions and the collapse of natural
One way to understand the importance of the speed of change is to think about native plants that grow in North America. Global warming could mean that those currently growing in Georgia might be better suited to New England. If climate changes gradually, many plants may be able to "migrate" by spreading seeds into new areas where they can now grow. But if climate changes rapidly, many plants may not be able to spread their seeds far enough to reach the new area. If they die out, so may many of the animals that depend upon them.
Why do scientist disagree about possible impacts of climate
Scientists disagree about whether climate change will be a serious
problem in the next 50 to 100 years. The main reason for this
disagreement is that nobody knows for sure whether climate changes
caused by human actions will be large enough and fast enough to
cause serious damage. Many scientists believe that they may be.
Others argue that if changes occur, the problems they cause will be
minor compared with problems caused by today's storms and
droughts. You can learn more about these disagreements and the
possibility that scientists will be able to resolve them through
research, in Details Booklet Part 2.
Will more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cause trees and other
plants to grow more? It might. Plants need carbon dioxide to grow. Using sunlight and photosynthesis, plants change carbon dioxide and water into food. If plants have all the nutrients they need, then giving them more carbon dioxide will cause many to grow more. Commercial growers often do this in greenhouses. However, plants growing in natural environments often do not have all the nutrients they need, and may not grow faster, even if there is more carbon dioxide. If some plants on land and in the oceans are naturally able to take more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, they will grow faster. This would change the mix of plants, but might also slow global warming. You can learn more in Details Booklet Part 2. |
Examples of how large and rapid climate change might affect the
natural environment. Plant migration: Climate may change faster than plants can move from one region to another. This may cause species extinction, lower biodiversity, and changes in the way species interact. Coral reefs: Slightly warmer tropical water may kill the algae which reef animals use for food. Changes in insect pests: Climate change can affect the number and kinds of pests directly. It can also affect them by changing the mix of plant varieties and their nutrient content. This can influence plant survival, food chains, and the spread of disease. Mangrove swamps: Mangrove swamps are important breeding grounds for many animals that live in water. Increased ocean flooding may damage these areas by changing the supply of nutrients and the amount of salt. |

| PDF - Published Version Download (197Kb) | Preview |
The dependence of ENSO's period on its amplitude is examined using a simple delayed oscillator model. This dependence is first calculated in the strongly nonlinear regime by extracting and analyzing unstable periodic orbits from the chaotic attractor of the model. In this regime, the period is found to decrease with increasing amplitude. Next, the dependence of the period on the amplitude is also calculated analytically and numerically in the weakly nonlinear regime by varying the ocean–atmosphere coupling coefficient. In this case, the period increases with the amplitude. The weakly nonlinear result reflects the dependence of the period on the ocean– atmosphere coupling strength rather than the dependence on the amplitude, while the strongly nonlinear result is the robust take-home message here: the period reduces with increasing amplitude.

Re: KeyValue.getLength() question
Are you on the client or the server?
In the server the KeyValue objects are created in HFileReaderV2.ScannerV2.getKeyValue(). There you will see that a KeyValue object is really just a "pointer" into a larger byte[] loaded from an HFile. On the client the KeyValue is typically deserialized from an RPC; in that case the backing array only holds one KeyValue (and the buffer size and the KeyValue length should match). Does that make sense? I know this can be a bit confusing. -- Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: Kim Chew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; lars hofhansl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 5:40 PM Subject: Re: KeyValue.getLength() question On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 7:52 AM, lars hofhansl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > myKV.getLength() is alway <= myKV.getBuffer().length. > > The buffer here is typically an HFile block. Lars, I don't quite understand this, could you please elaborate a bit more? Also if the KV's buffer size is bigger than the one returned by "readLength()", what would be those extra bytes in the buffer? It seems to me that the Scanner and InternalScanner packs different numbers of extra bytes to the buffer, I tired to pinpoint the scanner codes to where the KV objects is created but without too much luck.

We are used to American Idol pulling our heartstrings during the audition round, and in last night's stop in Milwaukee (fittingly, the home of Danny Gokey), we got one that probably made you cry like a baby. Contestant Chris Medina has been with his fiancée for eight years, almost three of which they've been engaged. In October 2009, two months before their vows, she was in an accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her in a coma for a month-and-a-half. Medina and her mother are now her caregivers. "What kind of guy would I be if I walked out when she needed me the most?" he said, after footage of him helping her walk down stairs and getting her comfortable in her wheelchair played. His fiancée was among those he brought with him to the audition. If he made it to Hollywood, it would give her something to be happy about again, and he would feel like he had already won something, he said. After Medina nailed his rendition of The Script's "Breakeven," the judges told him they wanted to meet his fiancée. Medina said "that would make her day," and she was wheeled in. Watch below. The judges introduced themselves, and Steven Tyler sweetly kissed her on the head and told her that Medina had sung beautifully, which he suspected was because he sings to her all the time. When Medina exited to the cheers of his family, it was his fiancée holding the golden ticket and raising it victoriously. She whispered something to him – "I knew it."
What was your reaction to what is obviously a painful, touching story that deserves a happy ending? We have to look at it from two sides: Medina's and the producers. We have to trust that Medina wasn't using his fiancée to get producers' attention, and that she really wanted to be there to support him so he could remember why those lyrics meant something to him. Even if he was subconsciously hoping his difficult story would garner a little favoritism from the producers and judges, can you truly fault him (again, assuming she wanted to be there)? There are thousands and thousands of people auditioning. He knows he has the voice to back it up. And this is his story. If he's helping to care for her, she's never NOT on his mind. To him, I'm sure the moment felt nothing but true and genuine. And that's what makes the Idol producers feel okay about showing it. That, and it's "good TV."
As a viewer, did I feel manipulated? Yes. It's a dangerous game Medina and producers are playing. Some viewers will root harder for him, knowing both his character and what kind of difference winning this competition could make in his (and her) life. Others, who like to think of American Idol as a singing competition and not a TV show, may resent the fact that he didn't try to make it through the audition round at least on his talent alone – when he has the voice to do it. Instead, we had to hold our breath, praying that he could actually sing after hearing his story. If he makes it to the viewer voting rounds, there will always be the question of why people are dialing his number.
One final thought, which may be one I should keep to myself, but I'm gonna be honest: I have enough drama in my own life right now with an ill father. I don't know that I can handle getting invested in Medina's story and worrying about whether he'll make it through the next round for his fiancée's sake. It's stress I don't need, and I have to fight the urge not to resent him and the producers for it. I just want to tune into Idol and hear people sing, preferably well, so Tyler leans forward in his chair. (It's that little action, truthfully, that has breathed new life into the show for me. He genuinely appreciates it when someone's good.) Am I the only who feels like that? Or is anyone else planning on forgoing the rest of the audition shows because you know they'll always go for the waterworks with that final contestant?

What a sad day. I would think that other factors must have been going on in the Sgt.'s life to lead up to this. It sounds like the notice of Disciplinary Action was more then he could deal with on top of everything else at that moment in his life. What a waste and a very sad day for LE.

The metal or rubber flashing around plumbing vents can deteriorate or rust through over time, creating water leaks. Here's how to replace the flashing and stop the leaks.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:October 2007
Remove one or two shingles above the vent flashing, then pry out the vent, being careful not to damage the shingles.
Spread caulk under the sides (but not the bottom) of the flashing and then nail it in place. Caulk the nail heads.
Slide the shingles that were removed back into place and renail.
Plumbing vent flashings are notorious spots for roof leaks. If you have a leak in the general area of a plumbing vent, check the condition of the vent flashing. Look for rust holes or gaps around metal vents (required for cast iron waste lines). If you have rubber vents (which are used for plastic pipe), check to see if they have become brittle and cracked.
Both types extend under at least two courses of shingles, so you'll usually need to remove a few shingles above the flashing to get the old one out without ripping any shingles. If you don't have any shingles left from the last roofing, be extra careful not to rip any. (Even if you can find new shingles in the same style, the color won't match perfectly.)
Loosen the tabs on the shingles above the vent first. Those shingles won't be removed, but you'll need to get under those tabs to get at the nails on the shingles directly below. Work from the top down, removing any shingles covering the vent flashing. Getting the tabs free without ripping them is the only tricky part. Work a putty knife slowly under the bottom lip of each tab and slip it through the adhesive to break the seal from one side to the other. Don't try to pry up the whole tab at once or it will rip. Once the tabs are free, slip the flat bar under the shingle and tap it up under the nail head. Pop the shingle and nail up, then pull the flat bar out from under the shingle and pop the nail head up from above the shingle. Don't worry if you accidentally tear the nail head through the shingle. When you replace the shingle, just put the nail in slightly above the hole and fill the old hole with caulk.
Slip a flat bar under the edge of the vent flashing and pop the nails up (Photo 1). Pull the old flashing up over the vent pipe and scrape any old caulk and debris off the roof. Slide the new flashing over the vent pipe and under the shingles above the pipe. Center the pipe in the flashing and push the flexible front corners up or down so that the flashing pipe is parallel to the vent pipe. (Rubber vent flashing automatically adjusts to any pitch.) Lift the vent enough to spread caulk under the sides (but not the bottom edge), then nail with three 1-1/4-in. roofing nails per side (Photo 2). Put one nail in the bottom edge with a dab of caulk under it to seal the hole.
Set the top part of the vent on the pipe. Make sure the inside of the lead collar fits inside the pipe, then tighten the pipe clamp. Finally, replace the shingles (Photo 3).
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

First Day Cover - Olympic Games, Australia, 1956 Reg. No: PH 5956
- Summary:
- First Day Cover produced in 1956 as a souvenir of the Olympics held in Melbourne, Australia. The stamped, addressed and franked envelope is sealed but empty. It was posted to the donor's mother's father by another family member. Addressed to Paul Fetter.
The XVIth Olympiad (the Olympic Games) hosted by Melbourne in 1956, is considered a watershed event in the city's history; it was instrumental in helping create the 'modern' and 'international' city of today. A variety of souvenirs was produced for the games; handkerchiefs, tea towels, scarves, playing cards, swap cards, crockery, ashtrays, etc. These souvenirs drew upon Olympic imagery: the Olympic torch (frequently positioned over the map of Victoria), the Olympic rings, the flags of participating nations, etc.
These First Day covers were posted by a family member to the donor's mother's father and sister as keepsakes of what was an important civic event. Though neither of the donor's parents attended any of the sporting events, they were caught up in the excitement of having the games in Melbourne. - Description:
- Cream envelope with an image of an athlete holding the Olympic torch above a sporting stadium in the bottom left corner. The stamps four stamps affixed to the envelope are all special Olympic issues. The envelope has a handwritten address on the obverse, and is franked.

The 4 Best Free Linux Anti-Virus Programs
Does a Linux user
antivirus software? Not really: infecting a Linux machine is pretty hard to do. That doesn't mean there aren't good reasons to have scanning software around, though.
If you insert your thumb drive regularly into Windows computers, for example, it might be infected, meaning you're spreading malware with it and not even knowing it (see:
). Antivirus software for Linux gives you a quick way to check your drives without any risk of infecting yet another Windows machine.
It's also a great tool to have around if you regularly help your Windows-bound friends and family recover from viruses. Remove their hard drive and plug it into your computer, or just use your Linux machine to clean their external drives.
Most Linux antivirus software focuses on removing Windows viruses, and function as one-time-scan tools rather than the Windows-style, sit-in-your-tray-and-protect-you products that's common in Windowsland. Such software is not essential for Linux users, but is pretty handy.
Oh, by the way: if you're looking for Windows anti-virus software, you will want to read
the ten best free antivirus programs
that we previously published.
Avast, the anti-virus program I previously decided has the coolest name for an anti-virus program, also sports a pretty great Linux GUI. As you can see it looks right at home on my Ubuntu desktop. This makes it easy to update defintions and scan the folders of your choice.
It's also really easy to
install Avast for Linux
. Just download your package of choice (rpm, deb and tar.gz), then
register for a free year of Avast usage
. If you don't register, you won't be able to use the program:
Happily, registering gives you one year of free non-commercial usage, so you won't need to do this frequently. And you'll have access to a sleak GUI and all of the definitions Avast has to offer.
This is one of my favorites. BitDefender frequently finds, for me, viruses that other scanners miss. Being able to use it from Linux is a big plus.
Finding it for Linux isn't straightforward, though. You need to head over to the
BitDefender for Unices page
, then click the '
evaluation version
' button. You'll be given a form to fill in, and when you're done you'll get a license valid for one month and a link to downloads.
The downloads look like this:
Find your platform and package of choice (ignoring, for now, the '
' file extension) and download it (right-click and click '
save as
', or your browser might try to open the entire file as a text document.) Change the permissions of the file to allow it to be executed. If you don't know how to do this, the simplest way is to right-click it, click '
,' open the permissions tab, then click '
allow executing
Finally, open your command line. Browse to the folder with the file, then type '
sudo ./[filename]
', where [filename] is the name of the BitDefender version you downloaded. You'll need to read an EULA before BitDefender will finally install (mercifully, using the package manager of your choice).
Why you need to go through all of that I don't know, but it's worth it. You now have access to a complete version of BitDefender.You can scan any file, update with the click of a button and much more. The graphical interface is identical to that of the
BitDefender Live CD
The free license lasts for only 30 days, but you can apply for another one if you need to.
Completely open source, ClamAV is probably the most famous Linux anti-virus. Using it requires some command line knowledge, but there is a basic GUI for running scans:
Installing ClamAV is simple; it's in the repositories of most Linux distributions. Install the '
' package and you'll get the above GUI and you'll have everything you need; or, if you're an Ubuntu user, simply
click here to download ClamAV
Once you've installed ClamAV, fire up your terminal and run '
sudo freshclam
'. This will update ClamAV's virus definitions for you.
Now you simply need to run clamtk. Fire it up from the command line, or find the program called '
Virus Scanner
' in the '
' section of the menu. Use the GUI to scan any folder, or your entire system. Or, if you prefer, use '
' from the command line. Either way you've got some quality, free anti-virus protection.
Those familiar with AVG's Windows interface will be disappointed: AVG for Linux has no GUI. This command line scanner does offer the same virus definitions of AVG's famous Windows program, though.
You can easily
download AVG for Linux
. You'll find packages for every major distro, including .deb and .rpm files.
Using the program is straightforward. First you need to start the AVG daemon: run '
sudo avgctl 'start
'. Then you can use '
sudo avgupdate
' to update the software, and '
' to scan a given file.
There's not a whole lot else to say about this one, although I hope AVG releases a Linux GUI again soon (previous versions offered one).
These four programs all offer Linux users a way to scan for Windows viruses, and the occasional Linux one as well. If you regularly help your friends and family out with IT stuff I recommend you install at least one such program, to keep it on hand.
Can you think of any other Linux anti-virus programs? What do you think of the ones outlined? Let me know in the comments below, along with any questions you might have about the above products.

Contradicting earlier reports, Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who called on Governor H.R. Bhardwaj on Friday, said the Governor had not asked him to prove his majority on the floor of the Assembly.
Mr. Shettar called on the Governor hours after the latter's remarks that he would ask for a floor test if need be and held consultations for about 20 minutes.
After the meeting, Mr. Shettar told reporters that the Governor had drawn his attention to the episode of 13 MLAs of the BJP submitting copies of their resignation letters to him as the Speaker was out of station. Mr. Shettar said he had told the Governor that his government had a clear majority and its stability would not be affected even if 13 MLAs quit.
The Chief Minister said the Governor had agreed to address the joint session of the State legislature on February 4. "I communicated to him the state Cabinet's decision to have his joint address and invited him for the same," he said.
Meanwhile, the BJP's core committee held a marathon discussion in Bangalore since Friday morning about the ongoing political developments. The meeting was attended by senior party leaders including Mr. Shettar, Party state president K. S. Eshwarappa, National General Secretary Ananth Kumar and state Organising General Secretary Santosh. Mr. Shettar called on the Governor after the core committee meeting. The meeting resumed after Mr. Shettar met the Governor.

Summary: Noninterference and the Most Powerful Probabilistic Adversary Alessandro Aldini 1? and Alessandra Di Pierro 2 1 Istituto STI, University of Urbino \Carlo Bo", Italy 2 Dipartimento di Informatica, University of Pisa, Italy Abstract. Probabilistic noninterference extends the classical possibilis- tic notion introduced by Goguen and Meseguer in order to capture the information leakage caused by adversaries that set up probabilistic covert channels. In this setting we investigate how to evaluate the observational power of an adversary to the purpose of establishing the maximal secu- rity degree of a given system. We introduce three classes of probabilistic adversaries, which represent the dierent observational power of an ad- versary, and then we establish properties for each such classes which state the complexity of eectively computing the most powerful adversary. 1 Introduction Noninterference is widely studied in the security community as a property which formally species the absence of illegal information ow. In the recent literature various probabilistic variants of this notion have been proposed which allow for the specication and analysis of probabilistic and approximate security proper- ties (see, e.g., [17, 15, 11, 16, 2, 9]). In particular, the approximate approach aims

[QUOTE][/You guys/gals need to cut Pete some slack...finding a quality bottle of wine in Boise Idaho takes an import, that is anything imported from out of state....when your choices are Albertsons,Winco or Wal Mart, none are target rich environments....I think that one of the reasons my SIL enjoys me visiting from time to time is that she knows I will always bring her some wine that she probably wont find in her local markets, one year I even had a case shipped in direct from a California vineyardQUOTE]
How does St. Chapels rank. They are a local winery. I must say it would be hard for me to pass up a 5.99 cent bottle of wine (. it all smells the same to me. ha! ha!
Wine and whining --no hi jacking here. (.
Pete, I bought some of the St Chapelles when I was out there. Very good Cabernet! Go for it!
your duck will appreciate it!
Look At it this way you have a whiner in 2 very specific locals, that don't affect your hunt, you could have a whiner in all locals, hunt, test, house. Better to be annoyed in 2 specific locals, and quiet 98% of the time ;) I put a collar on a dog when they're walking out noise is met with a vibration, if that doesn't stop it's met with a nick, a real pain in the butt to deal with while walking out to a blind, a real pain to deal with if they're laying in a hut. Still most non-vocal dogs will get a little excited going out, make some annoying noise, but settle in as soon as you get to the blind. Let's not even talk about the commotion, while your loading guns and decoys into the truck, or what may happen if they are left in the truck, while other dogs are taken out of the box. My primary dog will howl at every shot, I'd didn't even know she could make noise until we took the pup out and left her in the truck one morning. Still a e-collar, not even turned on stopped that, Didn't stop the grudge she held for being left behind, I still had to deal with that ;)
In CA we just go to whatever vineyard is on the corner, and pick up anything in the SALE rack, it's all good. But then 2 buck-chuck is hard to beat ;)
Darrin is 100% correct, a perfect analysis!
Mine gets too excited just going for a ride. I'll sit him while I open the door but when I release him he quickly jumps in the back seat waiting for the window to be rolled down and for us to get moving. He just loves riding with his head out the window, regardless of how cold it is, how fast we're going or how much it's raining. I tried flicking him in the nose (lol) whenever he'd whine and that helped a bit. I'm now trying to desensitize him from the situation and force him to lay down for the entire trip. He still pants heavily in excitement but the whining has been reduced further.
It appears this thread has morphed from whining to wine-ing. Definitely prefer the 2nd over the 1st.
Thanks for the advice---I have tried a nick, and it is met with confusion and a dog coming back to heal. Admit, I have not put much work into it. I can heal my dog all the way to the hunting area without a collar and no noise. That may be the answer. But, what about getting out of the truck, or opening a door for a walk?, A nick? That, IMHO would be very confusing to a dawg. I am not sure the dot's would be connected.
Another thought may be that we are seeing more and more FC or NFC breedings instead of MH or MNH breedings. Most Ferrari's aren't made to go muddin'!
As far as the wining goes.....Hell's Canyon in Idaho makes some great wines and they put hunting dogs on their labels!

I need the challenge - Patterson
Speaking to the Bristol Evening Post, the Millers new assistant manager Darren Patterson say's he needed a challenge at senior level. Patterson spent 2 years with the 'Gas' and he admits its been a hard decision to leave; "It's certainly been the hardest football decision I've had to make in my life, I've been deliberating over it for two or three weeks, but I've made the decision to move on. "It's an itch I need to scratch. I need the challenge, the buzz and the pressure that comes with senior football – that feeling when the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. I think I've got more to offer and this was too good an opportunity and challenge for me to turn down. "It's a club that wants to go somewhere with a new stadium on the way and training ground. They want to have a go and I want to be part of that." Darren went on to thank his previous employers; "I can't thank everyone at this football club enough. It's been an honour and a privilege to work here, I've tried to put my heart and soul into whatever role I've been asked to do and I've worked with some fantastic people during that time." "The chairman and all of the board have been brilliant. They said they didn't want me to leave, but they didn't put any obstacles in my way – and they could have done so if they'd wanted. I want to thank them for that." he added. Meanwhile Bristol Rovers chairman Nick Higgs said: "Darren has been a great servant in the time he has been with the club and we will be very sad to see him go, but we could not stand in his way and deny him the opportunity to further his management career." "He completely transformed our youth department and stepped up when he was needed to fill other roles. He will be a hard act to follow."

Best vacation I've ever had!!!
August 1, 2014
We had an absolute amazing time at the condo in Panama City. The owners were very friendly and very easy to talk to. We did have issues with the washer and dryer not working but there were onsite washer and dryers we used instead. The owners were VERY friendly and apologetic about the situation. Everything we needed was there. From extra blankets and pillows to kitchen gadgets. The condo was very spacious and very clean! The beds were comfortable and fit 5 adults just fine. The tiki bar was really fun! And all the visitors were VERY friendly. We had the time of our lives and will definitely be renting from Ben and his wife again. Thanks guys... it is a trip we will never forget!!

Abstract | Background Progress towards the development of a malaria vaccine against Plasmodium vivax, the most widely distributed human malaria parasite, will require a better understanding of the immune responses that confer clinical protection to patients in regions where malaria is endemic. Methods Glutathione S-transferase (GST) and GST-fusion proteins representing the N- terminus of the merozoite surface protein 1 of P. vivax, PvMSP1-N, and the C-terminus, PvMSP1-C, were covalently coupled to BioPlex carboxylated beads. Recombinant proteins and coupled beads were used, respectively, in ELISA and Bioplex assays using immune sera of P. vivax patients from Brazil and PNG to determine IgG and subclass responses. Concordances between the two methods in the seropositivity responses were evaluated using the Kappa statistic and the Spearman's rank correlation. Results The results using this methodology were compared with the classical microtitre enzyme-linked immnosorbent assay (ELISA), showing that the assay was sensitive, reproducible and had good concordance with ELISA; yet, further research into different statistical analyses seems desirable before claiming conclusive results exclusively based on multiplex assays. As expected, results demonstrated that PvMSP1 was immunogenic in natural infections of patients from different endemic regions of Brazil and Papua New Guinea (PNG), and that age correlated only with antibodies against the C-terminus part of the molecule. Furthermore, the IgG subclass profiles were different in these endemic regions having IgG3 predominantly recognizing PvMSP1 in Brazil and IgG1 predominantly recognizing PvMSP1 in PNG. Conclusions This study validates the use of the multiplex assay to measure naturally-acquired IgG antibodies against the merozoite surface protein 1 of P. vivax. |

Outdoor Activities
»Hopewell & Old City Point
In 1864, General Grant selected City Point as the Union Headquarters. His T-shaped cabin still stands. Other attractions are: Appomattox Plantation (1763); Crescent Hills, a neighborhood with one of America's largest concentrations of Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalog Houses by Mail; the home and burial place of the only son of Pocahontas and John Rolfe and Weston Manor, an elegant 18th-century Tidewater mansion. After touring local landmarks and historic sites, take in a show at the Swift Creek Mill Theater or enjoy seasonal riverside concerts. Hopewell is a 20-minute drive from Richmond. Take Exit 9A on I-95 south.
»Siege Museum
Imagine a chicken costing $50! This excessive price was demanded of Petersburg citizens during the Civil War. The largest siege of any American city took place here when, for ten months, Union troops relentlessly attacked to facilitate taking nearby Richmond. The subsequent conditions in Petersburg are explored at the Siege Museum. The museum is located in the former commodities market and illustrates how residents lived before, during and after the War. Petersburg is about a half hour from Richmond. Take I-95 south into the city.
»Centre Hill Mansion
Centre Hill, built in 1823 and remodeled in the 1840s, then again in 1901, displays the evolution of several architectural styles. Once the residence of the Bolling family, it has always been the most magnificent home in the city. Ornate woodwork and a 1840s service tunnel that connects the work area of the house to the city are special features of Centre Hill. Petersburg is about a half hour from Richmond. Take I-95 south into the city.
»Blandford Church
The lives of 30,000 Confederate soldiers were lost during the Siege of Petersburg, one of the most devastating events of the Civil War. Blandford Church, built in 1735, now honors their memory. Here, at their graves, the first Memorial Day was observed in 1866. Fifteen Tiffany stained-glass windows, designed in their honor, adorn the building. Donated by southern states after the war, this is one of only seven complete sets of Tiffany windows in existence. To reach Petersburg take I-95 south about 30 minutes from Richmond.
»Pocahontas State Park
Just 20 minutes from Downtown Richmond resides Pocahontas State Park, an impressive 7,950 acre park that boasts activities such as boating, camping, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and much more. With over 80 miles of trails and two fishing lakes home to the likes of the catfish and bluegill, Pocahontas State Park is a treasure trove of activities for visitors of all ages. The kids will adore the kiddie pool while you can enjoy the seclusion and peace you crave in a beautiful and natural setting. Open from 7 a.m. to dusk.
»Petersburg National Battlefield Park
A yawning crater still scars the site of Petersburg's Civil War battlefield. It was created when Union troops dug tunnels to detonate explosives under Confederates. The method killed thousands of men in an effort to break the line of defense. about a half hour Petersburg was under siege for ten months because it was strategic to taking the Confederacy and its capitol in nearby Richmond. A monument at the Park was recently erected to honor the contributions of African-American soldiers who served in both the Confederate and Union armies. Petersburg is 25 miles south of Richmond. Take I-95 south to Route 36 to reach the battlefield. No fee for Five Forks or Grant's Headquarters.
»Manchester Wall
The Manchester Wall is located below the Manchester Bridge and features routes for all sorts of climbing - from top roping to sports climbing, this sixty-foot granite wall is one monster to tackle. The wall is a reminder of the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Bridge which spanned the James River. Whether you are a recreational climber or an expert, Manchester Wall offers excellent fun and sport for those who love to scale walls.
»Richmond National Battlefield Park
Richmond National Battlefield Park consists of over 30 battle sites from the American Civil War, when Richmond was the capitol of the Confederate States of America. Many important sites from throughout the war are in the Battlefield Park, including Chimborazo Hospital, Fort Harrison, Drewry's Bluff and Tradegar Iron Works. The different sites in the park are actually spread over the entire city of Richmond as well as the surrounding counties. Today, the Iron Works is the visitor's center where you can find a map and more information about the entire park.
»Richmond Slave Trail
Richmond Slave Trail is a significant part of Virginia's history. The trail mainly describes the dark era when the trade of African slaves took place in Virginia in the 18th and 19th Century. It begins from the Manchester dock as it acted as a major port in the trade of enslaved Africans. The trail covers major landmarks of the period including former sites of the slave markets, Lumpkin's Slave Jail and the Negro Burial Ground. The trail ends at First African Baptist Church. Tours are provided by various agencies.
»Pamplin Historical Park & National Museum of the Civil War Soldier
Three million men fought in the Civil War and the exhibits at this museum comprehensively demonstrate their circumstances and ideologies. Other attractions at Pamplin Historic Park include Tudor Hall Plantation, an 1812 Greek-revival home that was the brigade headquarters of Confederate General Samuel McGowan, and the Breakthrough Trail, an 1865 battlefield where Grant's Union forces broke Lee's defensive line guarding Petersburg. Three historic, walkable trails that take from 15-30 minutes each to walk - perfect for families with young children or those interested in some light walking in a gorgeous setting.
»Belle Isle
This 54-acre (21-hectare) island of the James River has undergone several avatars in its time. What once started as a home to a granite quarry, served the nation during the American Civil War by housing a prisoner-of-war camp. Today, the Belle Isle has shed that avatar as well to become a city park. A great destination for people fond of the great outdoors, Belle Isle gives visitors an opportunity for walking, biking, swimming, rock jumping, sunbathing, bird watching, kayaking and even boulder top picnicking. A natural habitat for wildlife, don't be alarmed if you come across a raccoon or duck while you're here. Belle Isle is accessible through pedestrian and bicycle traffic via McArthur Bridge.
»The Belle Isle Skills Course
The Belle Isle Skills Course is a set of trails that bikers can test their skills on. The nature and scenery is beautiful, with meadows, forests and rapids dotted throughout the trails. This course is an introduction for enthusiastic bikers to improve their skills. From a pump track to rock gardens and rock drops, this skills course will shape you into an expert in no time.
