A build-own-operate project structure involving refinery upgrade results in increased product yield and power production
A mid-size U.S. refiner initiated an extensive study to examine the processing and economic benefits of a bottom-of-the-barrel upgrade as compared to its current operations. The project financing is based on a build-own-operate integrated project structure involving a refinery upgrade which results in an increased refinery product yield and produces an opportunity fuel for use in a cogeneration unit power plant.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

How John Lux pivoted from Disney employee to startup maven
IDEAS Chief Operating Officer John Lux Jim Carchidi
- Abraham Aboraya
- Reporter
- Orlando Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
The UpTake: John Lux has worn many hats at Orlando-based digital media company IDEAS since it spun out from Disney. Now, he's working hard trying to get Florida to see the sense of film incentives.
J ohn Lux has worn many hats at Orlando-based digital media company IDEAS.
Lux helped IDEAS transition from a Disney division into an independent company in 2001, and has worked primarily as chief operating officer. He's also been president, and in the last few years, has taken on the company's social media components.
In the past year, Lux added a second full-time gig: Working with Film Florida to try to get funding for incentives in the film industry. While the effort failed this year, Lux has vowed to do it again in 2015.
For more news from the Orlando Business Journal, check out Abraham Aboraya's work.
What challenges did IDEAS face in the early days as a Disney spinoff?
When we started IDEAS, it was an interesting endeavor because on paper, legally, we were a startup, but from our experience and clients, we were a company that had been around for 10, 15 years. We were in that weird limbo area. When we would go to a bank or lender, initially they didn't know how to look at us. We went home on a Friday afternoon and resigned from one job and came back on the following Monday to the same location working for the same clients doing the same projects, except now we were an independent company.
Key business lessons?
You can't be all things to all people. Sometimes you're just not going to have a good mix with a client, and we have learned to trust our gut. If we're in a meeting with a potential client and we see red flags or it feels like a train wreck waiting to happen, that's one we might want to decline. We've walked away from some pretty significant financial projects because it just didn't feel right.

Home » Football NewsCOLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW: #60 IOWA STATEJune 16, 2012 INDIANA SPORTS PAGEOFFENSEThe quarterback competition between Steele Jantz and Jared Barnett will go deep into the preseason and be the first domino to fall in what the Cyclones' offense will look like in year one with new offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham. Both have shown that they are capable of winning games. Who has developed more in the offseason? Of course, whichever quarterback gets the nod will only be as good as the players around him. The offensive line has no all-conference prospects, but it still has the potential to be a solid unit. Iowa State knows what it has at running back, and the Cyclones have defined roles for speedster James White, bruiser Jeff Woody and youngsters DeVondrick Nealy and Rob Standard. White led the team in rushing yards (743) and touchdowns (eight) last season. At receiver, there's a mix of proven commodities and talented newcomers with the type of size that Iowa State hasn't had much of in the past. Senior Josh Lenz is the veteran and will be counted on to provide consistent production. Aaron Horne was the Big 12's Offensive Newcomer of the Year in 2011 and is one of a handful of small and speedy pass-catchers.

Preparing to switch carriers
I am currently a iP4 user on Verizon
Once the new iPhone hits street I plan on buying an unlocked GSM from Apple. I intend, or rather, I want to go to a prepay provider to lower my monthly costs. Driving me nuts paying over $100/month. I never use over a gig of data but rack up 3000+ minutes and ~500 texts/month. I MUST keep my current number, so intend to port my number from Verizon Are there any gotchas to my plan? This is my business line and I absolutely do not want to risk losing this number, now or in future. I know it will be a while before new phone is out but want to have everything in place & ready to go when the day comes. Most grateful for suggestions... |

As long as you live in a medium-large city I would give t mobile a try.
$60 bucks for unlimited calls/texts and 2.5 gb data, it's no contract POSTpaid. $50 for same but only .5 gb data. There is a prepaid mvno that uses t mobiles towers which will be a cost little less but not sure what it all includes. |

I second the suggestion of T-Mobile provided that they have coverage in your area. The $60 plan would do you well and you still get the benefits of being postpaid with a major carrier and still having a much cheaper bill than Verizon.
Some of the MVNOs are cheaper but can be a nightmare to deal with if you ever have problems because customer service is almost nonexistent. |

Keeping your number is not a problem as long as you handle things correctly. With your usage you'll want an unlimited minutes and text plan. Sounds like you wouldn't need unlimited data.
I know T-mobile best because I made the switch to them from AT&T last December. Unless you already know their coverage will work for you, I would recommend you first start with a new number, then try out the service for a while and once you're happy you can port your VZ number just by calling customer service. Time it so that you port very near the end of your billing month as I've heard most companies don't give you a prorated refund of your unused days. AT&T didn't refund me. At T-mobile you can get unlimited talk and text plans for $50 which include 500MB of 4G and unlimited 2G. This is available both as pre and post paid. Prepaid can be had for no additional taxes if you buy refill cards online. In fact you can even find discounts on the cards. You will have to pay extra if you want hotspot. T-mo also has less coverage for prepaid than postpaid because they don't allow roaming if you leave T-mo's native coverage area. This might not matter depending on where you use your phone. Postpaid is more convenient, but your bill will be more than $50 with your state and local taxes. You will get free hotspot capability for some data though. You'll get better roaming if you need it. With postpaid you don't have to worry about refilling. |

Thanks for replies so far
I left out couple importent-to-me details. 1) TM/Sprint coverage won't do it for me. They are good urban area but I am in boonies a lot in Arizona 2) Gotta use ATT network, Verizon is better for me but page plus warns about possible iphone porting occasionally goes wrong and number gets permanently lost in ozone - unwilling to risk it. |

Try tmobile $30 prepaid plan and see what kind of reception you get (before doing number porting). You get free roaming on AT&T network, so if tmobile a network is no good, it should work for you. I plan on trying this when we travel this summer. I'd try it now, but Boston has good tmobile coverage so my results would be biased.

Try Net10 then if you need AT&T coverage. I've heard good things about them.

I think the StraightTalk iPhone is supposedly operating on Verizon. If you really don't use or plan to use too much data, that could be a good option. The only scary thing is that they do just turn off your number if they think you are abusing data and the rules seem pretty arbitrary. So you could port successfully and then find out you're cut off somewhere down the road.
Another option would be to port your number over to Google Voice. Then the number is yours forever and you can get whatever number for your actual phone. Only concern there is that Google keeps Voice going or at least allows a way to port number out if it ever goes away. |

If your number is absolutely important to you, don't go with ST.

The Movie: Deadland, a low budget postapocalyptic romp filmed in the woods of Georgia, has a well-made introduction. We are introduced to the film's protagonist, Sean Kalos (played by Gary Weeks, who also penned the screenplay). Sean pulls into a dilapidated gas station and attempts to make amends on a cell phone with his estranged wife Katie. His phone goes dead, so he walks into the station and requests a phone from the clerk, who at first seems rude when he absentmindedly tosses Sean his cell. That phone is dead too, and Sean soon discovers that the clerk is engrossed with the news coverage on a small television - announcing the beginning of World War III. The pair exits the building in time to see nuclear missiles falling on city targets in California. The scene is only 3 minutes, but it successfully pulls the audience into the world that gets developed in the movie. Much of Deadland occurs five years after the reign of bombs pictured in this prologue. The fate of the United States is bleak - and admittedly a bit muddled. The country is now apparently divided into 13 provinces - and survivalists live out in the woods. Malicious army types run prostitution camps. Everyone suffers from some kind of plague requiring medication. The near future is grim indeed. Navigating these forests is Sean, who has apparently spent the last five years (does anyone else remember that David Bowie song Five Years?) wandering the remnants of America. What's important about the film is not its convoluted setting per se but the central plot. Sean uncovers a list of names with a coded message he cannot decipher - and in that list is his wife's name. Is it his wife or someone else named Katie Johnson? Sean decides it has to be his spouse and risks life and limb to find her. He pairs up with a disturbed man named Jax (Brian Tee) as he pursues his wife. Given its clear low budget, Deadland is certainly ambitious. While distributor Phase 4 Films' cover art suggests that the film is a Mad Max-style action film, it's actually much more somber and introspective. The film, at times, has the ambience of Terrence Malick's haunting The Thin Red Line, with lengthy shots of characters walking through their environment intercut with flashbacks developing their back-story and motivation (the former presented in a washed-out palette and the latter in bright colors). It's nowhere near the level of The Thin Red Line, of course, but the effort is there, nonetheless. The film, however, doesn't really work as well as it could. At 107 minutes, it feels about 20 minutes too long, with too many character shots for its own good. Action fans deceived by Phase 4's cover art will be disappointed: there is some gunplay, sure, but it's fairly subdued - and the few fight scenes that do occur aren't convincingly staged. Plus, while the world created by Gary Weeks is compelling, it doesn't really strike one as realistic - and five years are too much of a time elapse for this story to seem likely. Top-billed William Katt (from the cult television series The Greatest American Hero) appears here in an extended cameo as a crazed code breaker, and his performance is distractingly over-the-top. Clearly, Katt's name is here to provide some geek authenticity; at least, his performance is longer than his blink-and-you'd-miss-it scene from Bone Eater. Still, I give Gary Weeks and director Damon O'Steen credit here: while the film is flawed, it still offers more originality than most of its low budget ilk. Given the disc's in-depth extras (more on these below), Deadland is worth a look. Recommended. The DVD
Video: Phase 4 Films gives Deadland an anamorphic widescreen presentation with a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. Much of the film as a deliberately washed-out color palette, but details seemed reasonably strong.
Two audio options exist: English 5.1 Surround and English 2.0 Stereo. The former appears to be the default and the one I listened to. I'd describe the sound quality as a mixed bag - the score and ambient natural noises came across strong and clear, but dialogue was sometimes obscure. No subtitle options appear available.
Trailers for Slave, Scar, and Cornered! precede the main menu. A Special Features sub-menu doesn't provide access to these trailers, but it does have an additional trailer for Deadland itself.
More significant extras include a feature-length commentary with actors Gary Weeks and Brian Tee, and director Damon O'Steen. A random sampling suggests it is informative and the participants keep things humorous. In addition, Crossing Into the Deadland (29:14) offers a surprisingly in-depth look at the making of the film.
Final Thoughts:
Writer and star Gary Weeks makes a somber and grim postapocalyptic film with director Damon O'Steen in the backwoods of Georgia. Deadland has flaws in its pacing and acting, but it's creative enough to stand out from its low budget brethren. Recommended.

Cardinals enter Sistine Chapel for conclave
VATICAN CITY—Catholic cardinals Tuesday processed solemnly into the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican for a secret conclave to elect a new pope.
The scarlet-robed cardinals chanted the traditional Litany of the Saints as they filed past liveried Swiss Guards flanking the chapel's imposing entrance.
Michelangelo's "Last Judgement" looked down on the assembled cardinals as they began singing the Latin hymn Veni Creator Spiritus ("Come Creator Spirit") to invoke divine inspiration for the task ahead.

CNN Breaking US & World News
10,000,000 - 50,000,000 downloads
- Official
- Amazing IU
- Didn't find any. Did you?
+ By CNN
The official CNN app for Android has just landed.
This is the official -and free- CNN app for Android. It comes up a bit late since we've had a dozen of non-official CNN apps for a long time., however, it seems that the official CNN developing team have been used fully to launch one of those must-have app that overtakes the rest of existing apps. CNN app for Android is aiming to be the "smartest and sleekest way to experience a world of news and insights". And, from our point of view, is quite close to achieve it. Let's take a glance at its main features.
First, we may check the Headlines by selecting the Top Stories (International), the area (U.S., Europe, Middle-East, Asia...) or the issue category we are more interest in (Business, Sports, Travel,...). By clicking in one of the headlines we may have access to all the news content: text-based reports, videos, photos, live updates and many others resources from the news network. Moreover, you may set your own profile and mark your current location to get some local info about weather, news and events taking places around. You may also save those reports you liked or those which you want to check thoroughly later. Besides browsing the news by content, you may also do it by format: radio or video. That means you will be able to listen CNN radio live programs or browser in its database stories, interviews, podcast and so on. Likewise you may browse news by video: the CNN's video database is organized by categories (world, most popular, sport, business, etc). The amount of resources available is just impressive. And it becomes even wider thanks to features like the iReport section, which is basically a channel that allows individual users to work as amateur journalist by submitting photos and videos through the app. That means getting real news from the witnesses.
It brings a simple but useful 1x4 desktop widget that will show the headlines of the category we are interested in. The widget though could be improved by allowing us to choose more than one category or by showing direct link to the media resources.
CNN for Android works on a user-friendly interface, fast and easy. We are just amazed about how fast it loads videos and audio files, and how easy is to get all the content in a few clicks. We have to recognise that CNN developers have done their job well, even exceeding all the expectations, and, from our point of view, overtaking the non-official CNN apps that are already in the market. For this reason, we truly recommend you to give it a try if you are one of those who want to be up-to-date about what's going on in the world from reliable sources.
CNN connects you to the world -- wherever you are.
The redesigned CNN App for Android has been rebuilt and redesigned for use on both your phone and tablet.
Stay informed with the latest headlines and original stories from around the globe. Follow up-to-the-minute reporting with breaking news alerts and live video. Share stories and videos and comment on top stories.
•Get breaking news alerts and follow stories as they develop.
•Go beyond the surface with international, politics, opinion, tech and entertainment stories and more.
•Watch video clips and coverage of live events as they unfold. View your favorite CNN shows live (as available, check with your cable, satellite or telecommunications provider).
•Contribute a story or opinion to CNN iReport by uploading photos and video directly from your app. Follow other iReporters and see stories from their points of view.
•Access your local weather information, including current and extended forecasts.
•Browse photo galleries related to today's news.
•Sync your Samsung Galaxy Gear to your CNN app and receive breaking news and top stories on your wearable device (available on select Android phones).
The CNN App may ask your permission to access certain functions on your device such as location, network connection, camera and social media accounts. Doing so can enhance some features of your app such as weather forecasts, iReport submissions and ability to share stories with your social networks. The CNN App may also ask your permission for "phone calls" to allow you to call CNN regarding story ideas or general feedback. CNN respects your privacy and would never misuse your personal information.

Predicting streptococcal pharyngitis in adults in primary care: a systematic review of the diagnostic accuracy of symptoms and signs and validation of the Centor score
Aalbers, Jolien, O'Brien, Kirsty K., Chan, Wai-Sun, Falk, Gavin A., Teljeur, Conor, Dimitrov, Borislav D. and Fahey, Tom (2011) Predicting streptococcal pharyngitis in adults in primary care: a systematic review of the diagnostic accuracy of symptoms and signs and validation of the Centor score. BMC Medicine, 9, (1), 67-[11pp]. (doi:10.1186/1741-7015-9-67). (PMID:21631919).

Background: Stratifying patients with a sore throat into the probability of having an underlying bacterial or viral cause may be helpful in targeting antibiotic treatment. We sought to assess the diagnostic accuracy of signs and symptoms and validate a clinical prediction rule (CPR), the Centor score, for predicting group A β-haemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) pharyngitis in adults (> 14 years of age) presenting with sore throat symptoms.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed up to July 2010. Studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of signs and symptoms and/or validated the Centor score were included. For the analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of signs and symptoms and the Centor score, studies were combined using a bivariate random effects model, while for the calibration analysis of the Centor score, a random effects model was used.
Results: A total of 21 studies incorporating 4,839 patients were included in the meta-analysis on diagnostic accuracy of signs and symptoms. The results were heterogeneous and suggest that individual signs and symptoms generate only small shifts in post-test probability (range positive likelihood ratio (+LR) 1.45-2.33, -LR 0.54-0.72). As a decision rule for considering antibiotic prescribing (score ≥ 3), the Centor score has reasonable specificity (0.82, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.88) and a post-test probability of 12% to 40% based on a prior prevalence of 5% to 20%. Pooled calibration shows no significant difference between the numbers of patients predicted and observed to have GABHS pharyngitis across strata of Centor score (0-1 risk ratio (RR) 0.72, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.06; 2-3 RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.17; 4 RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.37).
Conclusions: Individual signs and symptoms are not powerful enough to discriminate GABHS pharyngitis from other types of sore throat. The Centor score is a well calibrated CPR for estimating the probability of GABHS pharyngitis. The Centor score can enhance appropriate prescribing of antibiotics, but should be used with caution in low prevalence settings of GABHS pharyngitis such as primary care.

"On October 6, 2009, North American gamers' expectations of what an online roleplaying experience could be were forever changed," commented Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ATLUS. "With Demon's Souls, gamers received a title of breathtaking scope and vision, a project built on experimental cooperative and competitive multiplayer concepts, offering users both direct and indirect methods of communication and interaction.If you still have yet to play the multiplayer, now is your chance to experience a whole new meaning to the word dying, as well as a great RPG experience. You can check out our game page for screenshots and trailers if you still have yet to play the game.
Elements of every connected player's single player world carried into the worlds of others, sometimes as nothing more than an echo or afterimage, and other times in the form of an alliance or invasion. With countless hazards to memorize and plan for spread across each of the game's sprawling dozen-plus worlds, the ability for players to leave hints-or, potentially, deceptions-and to view the final moments of other adventurers' lives, created an unprecedented form of RPG crowd-sourcing that remains revolutionary to this day.

Yes but would you want nemonia topped off with screaming? i dont think so.
I deal with screaming all the time. I think I could handle it.
That's an irrelevant point. As TheC chose not to disclose any of that information. If we don't know information, you can't expect us to act based on it.
As it happens, I have a rare syndrome that causes me to go out and strangle a kitten everytime someone disagrees with me. UnlimitedScorch, you are now responsible for the death of a kitten. How do you feel?
Byebye, TheC.
Wait, so you expect us to pity him when even YOU don't? Please, save your hypocrisy for someone who cares.

Why don't you take a break for a couple of months and check in later, hmm?
On the other hand, if you feel that you are not welcome here anymore, it is up to you to decide if you want to quit or not.
Bye I guess.
I quite like it, but it is suckage spam.

New binding suggestions
Hey guys I'm thinking of buying myself some new bindings. My boot size is US 9 mens and I usually ride all mountain and park terrain. I will be willing to pay up to $250 for bindings. Thanks for the help guys :P
What the difference between binding toe straps compared to the straps that go on top of your boot? Which is better? Last edited by BC-Rider; 03-29-2008 at 03:31 PM. |

I dont think you'llneed to pay that much for bindings with the end of the season sales going on right now. I have rome targa's which i love and are considered by most on this board to be excellent bindings...and they are avaialable on numerous websites for around 100 - 150. you can also get the rome 390's for a little less than targa's. i think you'll need the L/XL size.

i have some union forces that are really good bindings. i would suggest them for anybody, but you might want to get the datas if you care more about comfort. i have also heard great things about the rome targas and 390s, but have never used either.

X/XL? i think he would be better of with M/L. i have forces in M/L and i wear size 9US boots. they are a perfect fit, my toe does not stick out at all and all of the straps fit perfectly. so unless rome bindings are considerable smaller or his feet are still growing i think some M/L bindings would be the best choice.

good choice. I have the 390s and really like em. As mentioned above, be careful with the size. You probably want the L/XL. Romes only come in two sizes, S/M and L/XL because they can be adjusted quite a bit. With size 9 you will probably be on the upper end of S/M and the lower end of L/XL, but check their sizing recommendations, and even check them out in a shop if you can.

So a lot of people at my mountain think flows are stupid and cheap. Some like them alot because i get to the top and it takes me seconds to get my foot in and go.
Well I bought some flow m11's for like $200-250. They have lasted me an entire season and still in good shape. If you decide to go out and buy some flows there is one thing you should know, dont make them too tight, you get frustrated when you put your foot in and you cant pull the back up. Dont make them too lose, just enough where you can put your foot in and take it out. You hear alot about the back breaking or the wires snapping, that isnt likely to happen ok, i have got them too tight so many times and pulled the back so hard just to make it click. You shouldnt be afraid unless you buy really cheap bindings or you can see the wires wearing. So try em dude, im an instructor and you need to flip em on and off fast. |

I have just bought a copy of your book ..., and for the first time I have discovered how my husband died.
Thursday, August 2, 2001 (London)
I AM sorry to see in today's Guardian that Miklos Vasarhelyi has died on July 31. I interviewed him several times during the Janos Kadar era while writing Uprising, and asked him at one time what had caused him, a dedicated communist who had languished for the requisite number of years in prisons for his beliefs, to switch sides and support the anti-Soviet revolution of 1956. He said, "I read a book." It was Animal Farm, circulating sub rosa in Budapest in a French edition.
Mightier than the sword! One author's pen, wielded years before, had persuaded a Hungarian communist whom he would never meet to abandon all thoughts of his own safety and that of his family to the winds of revolution. I have often cited this as one instance of an author's hidden duty to get things right.
Another instance was the letter I received, on Basildon Bond notepaper, written in a elderly female hand, beginning with the words: "I have just bought a copy of your book The Destruction of Convoy PQ17 on my local station's W H Smith bookstand, and for the first time I have discovered how my husband died..."-- He was the radio operator of the s.s. Hartlebury.

Is career more important than family? A Thousand Times Good Night is Norwegian director Erik Poppe's painful dissection of this basic question. Juliette Binoche plays a female war photographer whose job leaves her husband and two daughters fearing for her life – and which threatens to destroy her marriage.
The film received a standing ovation at its world premiere at the Montreal Film Festival and went on to win the festival's Special Grand Prix. Anchored by Binoche's raw performance, part of its intensity and emotional honesty comes from the fact that Poppe is, in many ways, telling his own story. In a career as a photographer for Norway's Verdens Gang newspaper and then a cinematographer/director, he has reported from some of the world's most dangerous places.
"The hardest thing wasn't surving in Afghanistan or the Congo," says Poppe, "but life back home. You're so filled with adrenaline and then when you get back you're so furious that no one cares. I remember filming in a village in eastern Congo as rebels approached, massacring people on their way. On the news that night, it was below a report about Paris Hilton leaving a car with no knickers on."
In the film, when Binoche's Rebecca is hospitalised after getting too close to a female suicide bomber in Afghanistan, her husband (Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) persuades her to quit. But Rebecca admits, "I'm not good at life… being normal." As Poppe puts it: "One day you're in a war zone and the next day you're at a parents' meeting at school. It's hard to reconcile the two."
For the director, who is best known for his acclaimed Oslo Trilogy (1998-2008) of intense, character-driven films, it was a conscious decision to get a woman to play the main role. "The usual narrative is that it's men doing this and we sort of accept it. By changing it to a woman, it gets more complicated. But when you go out to a war zone, there are lots of female photographers, many with kids."
Poppe admits that the film has been a painful process for him and his family, but that it's helped them understand a job he still does between movies and other commercial work. "I've seen the difference it can make. We need people telling these stories more than ever."
A Thousand Times Good Night is released in Norway on 18 October

View All Services provided by Yale-New Haven Hospital
3/15/2011 — Yale-New Haven Hospital has been named to the 2011 NAFE Top 50 Companies and 10 Nonprofits for Executive Women list by the National Association for Female Executives. One of the country's largest associations for women professionals and business owners, NAFE provides resources - through education, networking and public advocacy - to empower its members to achieve both career and personal success. The list recognizes organizations whose policies and practices encourage women's advancement and whose numbers at the highest levels of leadership demonstrate that commitment.
"Yale-New Haven Hospital is committed to gender equality in the workplace. It is just one of the ways Yale-New Haven distinguishes itself as an employer of choice," said Marna Borgstrom, president and CEO. "We're honored to be recognized by NAFE for something that we regard as integral to who we are and what we do."
YNHH has been recognized as the employer of choice for the region, offering numerous benefits and programs to help employees meet work-life demands, such as internal advancement, tuition reimbursement, dependent tuition, employee health and wellness programs, and a unique performance incentive plan which allows employees to share in the hospital's financial success.
The hospital has found that flexible work arrangements - such as telecommuting, part-time and casual status, compressed workweeks, job sharing and an on-site daycare for hospital employees - were particularly appealing to older workers and attractive to new applicants and mothers interested in returning to the workforce. In addition, YNHH offers a home ownership program to help employees buy their first home, as well as an employee hardship fund which provides limited financial assistance to employees with immediate, severe and temporary financial hardships.
NAFE will honor the Top Companies at a gala luncheon in New York City on March 30.
Yale-New Haven Hospital is a nationally recognized, 1,541-bed, not-for-profit hospital serving as the primary teaching hospital for the Yale School of Medicine. Yale-New Haven was founded as the fourth voluntary hospital in the U.S. in 1826. Today, the hospital's two New Haven-based inpatient campuses include Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital, Yale-New Haven Psychiatric Hospital and Smilow Cancer Hospital. YNHH has a combined medical staff of about 4,500 university and community physicians practicing in more than 100 specialties. YNHH's York Street campus and associated ambulatory sites are Magnet-designated by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

I just attached auth_md5.diff which will modify the auth.py file in the current dbauthplugin so that it uses md5 instead of sha-1. I am using this patch myself and can attest that it works perfectly (I've configured dbauthplugin to use usernames/passwords from a PHP webapp's MySQL database).
I had a look at the subversion tree to see if any work was being done to add md5 support to the plugin and it seems that under the simple-0.10 tree there is, indeed, md5 support in there. So presumably the next release will obsolete this patch. However, it should be useful for those who want to download the existing zip file and make it work with md5.

In the first debate, Gore was the insufferable brown-noser -- constantly interrupting to get just "one more" point in, heaving exasperated sighs, hogging more than his fair share of airtime, and reminding the teacher that she forgot to assign homework.
Even Jay Leno (who can find nothing critical to say about Ralph Nader because Nader "tells it like it is") joked that the day after the debate, Bush was campaigning in the Midwest and Gore was still at the podium trying to make one more point.
At one point during that debate, our little Miss-Know-It-All referred to "Yugoslavia, as they call Serbia plus Montenegro ..."
Naturally, Gore's advisers had to take dramatic action. They forced him to watch the "Saturday Night Live" version of the debate, which would have satirically exaggerated Gore's annoying tropes if that had been possible. (See if you can tell the difference: Which Al Gore told an interminable sob story and then tried to deliver two closing statements?)
By the second debate, Gore had miraculously transformed himself. No longer the know-it-all brown-noser, Gore managed to become Norman Bates in the last scene of "Psycho." He was so tightly controlled for that second debate that you could almost hear him thinking to himself: "I hope they are watching. They will see. They will see and say, 'Why, she wouldn't even hurt a fly.'"
So naturally, the entire nation was on tenterhooks waiting to see what weirdness Gore would unleash at the final presidential debate. The results are in, and the answer is: Tracy Flick in the movie "Election."
It got to the point that even the audience was laughing at Gore for his ridiculous pomposity. Bush was in on the joke, laughing and winking at audience members, as Gore grew increasingly insufferable.
It's always so great to see the reaction of normal Americans to the Clinton-Gore team. Remember how the Washington, D.C., grand jury laughed out loud at President Clinton's testimony? You know, the same testimony windbag pundits would soon be ponderously describing as "legally accurate"?
Every time the American people get a look at Al Gore, unfiltered by the media propaganda machine, you have the same effect. Media blowhards speculate (increasingly unconvincingly) that Gore may be just "too smart" to be president, while the public keeps laughing at him for being such a dork.
Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of our readers it has become necessary to transfer our commenting system to a more scalable system in order handle the content.

Self-propelled microparticles now able to move upstream
Science: Two teams of researchers have developed separate mechanisms that allow microscopic particles to move against the flow of liquid. The first team, from New York University, used a micrometer-sized plastic sphere with an exposed area of iron oxide. When placed in a hydrogen peroxide solution and activated by blue wavelengths of light, the iron oxide splits oxygen away from the hydrogen peroxide molecules. The resulting electrical gradient is strong enough to push the microparticles against the flow of the solution in a small capillary. The second team, from the University of California, San Diego, used a similar chemical reaction to increase the catalytic effect of an effort to produce hydrogen gas for fuel cells. In a solution of sodium borohydride, platinum reacts strongly, producing hydrogen gas. However, the platinum molecules are quickly covered in hydrogen bubbles, which slow then stop the reaction. So the researchers created a two-piece microparticle, half platinum and half titanium. Because the bubbles are produced on only half of the microparticle, the ejection of hydrogen gas from that side pushes the microparticle away, and the reaction can continue. The resulting process is 20 times more effective than simply reacting platinum with sodium borohydride.
Eruption provides first major test of Ocean Observatories Initiative
Nature: Real-time data from the 24 April eruption of the underwater Axial volcano were captured by a range of instruments in place off the Oregon coastline. The instrumentation, which included seismometers, pressure and temperature sensors, and a mass spectrometer, was put in place as part of the $386 million Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). The seismometers picked up a spike in activity on 23 April, which gave the OOI researchers time to prepare for the eruption. Unfortunately, the systems designed to provide full data to researchers outside of the initiative's monitoring organization were scheduled for completion in the next three months. The raw seismic data were live streamed outside of the OOI, but the rest of the data were recorded and will be provided in the next several days.

But the mayor didn't point out the hypocrisy, or argue that in each instance Crow was motivated by self-interest. Instead he struck a softer tone: "Dallas deserves a lot more than playing grainy pictures on television and playing those attack ads."
Fearing that the $2.7 million that Crow has spent might sway the election in his favor, the mayor's political and business allies have stepped up their efforts in the last few weeks to show their support for him.
At a recent pro-hotel press conference outside City Hall, Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price directed his attacks at Crow, making the bizarre connection between Crow and the Jim Crow laws, which enforced state-sponsored segregation of blacks until struck down by the courts and civil rights legislation.
"A lot of us are brought up in the South under what we call Jim Crow," Price said as Leppert stood behind him. "I'm basically saying that we need to vote no to Jim Crow."
Six days before early voting began, Ed Oakley joined a group of business people at the Stoneleigh Hotel who called themselves "Enough is Enough" to voice their support for the mayor. Rather than argue the merits of the hotel, they claimed to be motivated by the negative tone of the anti-hotel crowd's rhetoric.
Although Oakley himself used negative ads in his runoff against Leppert, Oakley says the offensive TV ads caused him to lend his name to the pro-hotel campaign. "I believe in the hotel," he said in an interview. "I don't know the numbers. I can't tell you that the deal is the right deal, but I know that we need a convention center hotel, and I have to trust the people that were elected."
While the anti-hotel crowd has made the trust issue a focal point of its campaign, the mayor hasn't helped himself on the stump. He has claimed that without the hotel, the convention center could lose $150 million in taxpayer money over the next 30 years, but a city-commissioned study, conducted in January by HVS Convention & Entertainment Facilities Consulting, indicates otherwise.
The study projects the convention center's net income for the next 10 fiscal years using two scenarios: with and without an attached hotel. In each scenario, the income for the first three years remains identical because the hotel will be under construction. Over the next seven years, the center's total net income is projected to be more than $6 million higher without a hotel.
While the hotel is expected to attract more attendees and more revenue, the result is higher operating expenses. Also, visitors who might otherwise stay in other local hotels may instead choose to stay in the city-owned hotel. This means a portion of the hotel occupancy tax they pay when renting their rooms will go to pay the bonds on the hotel instead of the bonds on the convention center, resulting in lower revenue for the center.
Despite the hotel campaign and the hits the mayor has taken to his credibility, his supporters remain unflappable in their high regard for him. "Whether you agree or disagree with him, you just never see a sinister plot behind what he's up to," Reed says. "He's doing it because he really thinks it's the right thing to do."
Whether the hotel is a "vanity project" as Hunt calls it, a "résumé building tool" as Rasansky has referred to it, or simply his vision of what's best for the city, the May 9 vote seems fated to be a watershed in his political career. Donna Blumer believes that if he doesn't deliver on the hotel and resuscitate the Trinity River project, the powerful business interests who put him in office will turn on him.
"I think that accounts for his unreasonable stands on the Trinity and on this hotel—for him to be so rabidly in favor of both projects, which have really serious flaws," Blumer says. "If he can't ram those through, I think the people who put him in office are going to say, 'OK, Tom. We need to move on.'"

A 448-kilowatt commercial solar system was powered up last Tuesday at the San Bernardino Corporate Center near Mill Street and Toppecanoe Avenue. The project came out of a partnership of the Novato-based SPG Solar Inc., the nonprofit for Sustainable Communities Reinvestment Partnership, known as SCRIP Inc, and the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA), the regional joint powers authority overseeing redevelopment in and around the former Norton Air Force Base.
The commercial solar system will offset up to 55 percent of the center's electricity bill and save about $90,000 a year, an IVDA spokeswoman said.
The panels were installed on the facility's rooftop and parking structures. Officials promoted the project as a good example of cutting future operating expenses and supporting initiatives for reduced carbon emissions.
"It's not easy to be green," said the city's interim director, Emil Marzullo. "But the rewards in the long term are certainly worthwhile."
"IVDA's commitment and investment into solar is coming at a time when budgets are tight," said SPG Solar President and CEO Chris Robine.
SPG Solar develops project for large commercial, government and public energy users. It manages more than 1,500 solar system installations in several states.
Mayor Pat Morris said the project represents local efforts to engage in sustainability measures, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of San Bernardino International Airport.
Many projects such as the one mentioned in this article have been sprouting out throughout the United States. Efforts to build solar power plants have been seen from the east coast to the west coast, and the demand for solar photovoltaic installers is on the rapid rise.
One problem that is arising in the solar industry is the lack of solar photovoltaic installers, which is a great opportunity for those who are looking for a new career in the "green" industry. As businesses and homeowners are becoming more open to solar panels, the demand is increasing. Solar panels are becoming smaller, more efficient and affordable causing solar panel installers to play a key role in the future of solar panel installation.
A person interested in becoming a solar PV installer should first attend a free solar training seminar in order to see if the type of job suites him or her. Many solar training schools offer free informational sessions on the types of solar courses they offer.
If a person recognizes that becoming a solar PV installer and entering the "green-collar" industry suites them, then one should highly consider attending a solar installation course and receiving a solar installation certification. Employers will not even consider hiring a person if one lacks knowledge and training in solar PV installation.
Upon receiving proper training and certification in solar panel installation, one is ready to take the NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) certification test. NABCEP is the nationwide certifier for solar energy workers. In order to take the NABCEP test, one must apply providing information that says the person is ready to take the test, such as a certification from a solar training school and a picture proving they attended an on-site solar training school.

How to Be Cool at School
Three Parts:Making a Good ImpressionMaking Lots of FriendsBeing Friendly, Confident, and Likable
You might have already read up on how to be cool, but you might be wondering: how do I apply that in school? It seems like a high-pressure environment, but most of it is just how you think about it. If you take care of your appearance, are friendly and open-minded, develop your interests, and stay your awesome self, it could be easier than you ever imagined.
Part 1 of 3: Making a Good Impression
1Get clean. One of the easiest things you can do for your popularity status is stay fresh and smelling good. Kids in school tend to judge a book by its cover, and being smelly is a one-way ticket to the reject table. Take showers regularly, brush your teeth, floss, and use deodorant. You'll look more attractive, whether you're a guy or a girl, too.
- It's also a good idea to wash your face regularly. Pre-adolescence and adolescence is a breeding ground for acne, and washing your face can combat that.
- If you're worried about sweating during the day thanks to the weather or gym class, keep a stick of deodorant or a good-smelling spray in your locker or bag.
Ad -
2Style your hair. In addition to not being clean, you also won't attract a lot of friends if you looked like you just rolled out of bed, regardless of what age you are. Take a few minutes in the morning to style your hair however you think it looks best. A little bit of effort goes a long way, even if it's just a bit of gel or a couple rounds with a flat iron or blow dryer.
- If you don't like your hair currently, get it cut. No idea what kind of cut? Odds are your hairstylist will be able to tell you what kind of cut will look good with the shape of your face. You could get highlights or a different color, too.
3Pay attention to your clothes. Every school is different, and there is not one individual look that ensures you'll be cool. At some schools its the rebels who are "cool," at others it's the "jocks." The only thing you can really do is pay attention to your clothes and make sure you walk out the door with a look you know you like. Are your clothes clean? Do they match? Do you feel confident in them? That's most of the battle right there.
- If you feel like you look good, you'll walk around acting like you look good, and others will follow suit. So much of personality is confidence. You don't have to especially beautiful or especially smart or especially funny; you just have to be confident and the rest of the world may just be fooled.
4Let your personality shine through your look. When it comes to your clothes and your accessories, don't be afraid to have your own sense of style. Discover the clothes you like to wear, the brands you like, the accessories you like, and create your style. Wear those clothes to school and be unique. Who knows? You could start a trend.
- Being cool is also about being a leader and doing your own thing – not about being a follower. Don't worry about the people who judge you about your clothing and those that are trying so hard to blend in (these are often the same people). Your own sense of style will attract those who also have their own sense of style.
Part 2 of 3: Making Lots of Friends
1Join a handful of organizations. Being cool isn't just about being popular, it's about being known. And what's the easiest way to get your name and your face recognized? By joining groups at school, of course. Try to join a few that don't overlap – that way you'll meet the most people and have a wide variety of interests.
- Try to join one of every kind of activity: one athletic, one academic, and one artistic. You could be on the basketball team, on the school newspaper, and in choir. It'll look good on your college resume, too.
2Observe. Try to identify who's where on the "social ladder." It's not that big of a deal (being cool is about being liked, which is different than being popular), but it will help you know how to identify with people. What are the cool kids like? Are they jocks, are they smart, are they rebels? How about the mid-crowd? Do they follow along or sort of do their own thing? And the lowest tier, what about them? Who in which groups do you want to be friends with? It's a good idea to be friends with people on all rungs of the ladder – you never know where you'll end up.
- If you do want to be popular, it's a good idea to befriend one of the nicer popular people; they'll be your ticket into "the group." Just make sure you don't abuse people on your way up. Sometimes friends don't work out, and then the rejects won't even want you later when you need a friend.[1]
3Be friendly with everyone. Again, being cool doesn't necessarily mean you're popular. There are plenty of "popular" kids that are mean and not actually liked. Being one of them won't get you anywhere. Instead, aim to be popular and cool by having people legitimately like you. To do that, just be friendly and nice to everyone you meet. Why would you do anything else, right?
- You probably have a pretty good grip on how to be friendly. The only thing to keep in mind is to be friendly to those people that you think aren't cool. Give them help when you sense they need it. Say hi in the hallways if you know them. You never know – they could be the next cool kid in a few months' time.
4Don't try so hard. Just about every adult will tell you that when you grow up, you'll realize that being cool doesn't really matter and if they would've known that being cool is about not trying, they wouldn't have stressed so much. Though it's easier said than done, try to relax a little. If you're trying too hard, it's a turnoff and people won't think you're confident and that you don't like yourself. And if you don't like yourself, why should they?
- Here's an example: let's say this person you don't really know asks you out on a date. You say no. Then, they start sending you love letters. You still say no. Then flowers. Next thing you know, they're outside your door at night. They are trying really, really hard. Is it working? No. In fact, it's the opposite of working. You wish they had a little self-respect and you just want them to go away.
5Value your opinion above anyone else's. Try your best to not care about what you think other people think of you. Just go with the flow. Why? Because not everyone is going to like you. No one is liked by everyone because we all have flaws and we all have different personalities. If you know for sure someone is judging you, you can voice it, then just act like you don't care, because you don't. Practice thinking this way and your confidence will improve via self-acceptance. People at school will start wondering where you got all this self esteem!
- This is where style comes into play. The skaters have their style, the plastics have their style, the nerds have their style, etc. We're all different and nothing is necessarily better than anything else. If someone is judging you, they're caught up in their small, closed mind. They're not going anywhere anyway, so don't get on the friend train with them. It's a one-way ticket to a dead end.
6Avoid being a bully or the victim. Don't be mean to other people in your school just to make yourself seem cooler. In fact, people generally hate bullies, they're just too scared to admit it to their faces.[2] In time, the bullies lose their power and then they're left with nothing. It may be tempting now, but in the long run it will only do you harm.
- Also, don't let bullies push you around. It's easier said than done, but in school, using your sense of humor and your good social tactics are the key. With friends at your side, you'll be untouchable.
Part 3 of 3: Being Friendly, Confident, and Likable
1Be open-minded. Remember that part above about how being cool is about being liked by lots of different people? Well, to get all these different types of people liking you, you've got to like them. Open your mind and try to see that not only the coolest kids have value – that everyone does. You'll come off as a friendly, more likable, happier person – and that's the type of person most of us want to be around.
- Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart, Lady Gaga – these are all pretty cool people who were not cool in school (or so they say).[3] This is proof that if you're not open-minded, you could miss out on some pretty awesome people.
2Respect people. Being respectful to others even if they aren't your friends shows that you don't discriminate people based on anything because they are not your friends. You'll develop a positive reputation of always being kind and considerate and being friends with everyone because they can rely on you and that you won't judge them. That definitely sounds pretty cool.
- A good way to make friends is to make them laugh. If you're cracking jokes at another's expense, just make sure they get it that it's in good fun. And try to stay away from making fun of teachers – that can easily backfire.
3Keep it positive. You know that kid who's sulking in the corner, all dressed in black, who's always frowning and talking to no one? Doesn't seem very happy, does he? Do you want to hang around that negativity? Probably not. If you want to be a magnet for people, to get all of them liking you, stay positive. Keep your chin up, be willing to laugh at yourself, and spread your positivity and awesomeness. Other people will end up flocking to your side so it rubs off on them.
- And will it rub off on others? Probably. Some studies say that just being around other happy people makes us more likely to be happy; and hanging around sad people makes us more likely to be sad. So could you be that beacon of light for your friends? Of course!
4Smile. When it comes to humans, we're pretty simple. We know what we like and we don't like, and something we definitely do like is a person with a smile on their face. Not only does it show others that you're happier, make you more happier (your mind actually starts believing it, but it can make you more sexually attractive, too. [4] Put a smile on your face and see how you feel. Eventually it'll become a worthwhile habit!
- Try not to put a fake one on either. Keep it natural. Most people can see through a fake smile. If you stay positive, having a genuine smile shouldn't be too hard to come by.
5Stay true to you. Though the phrase "be yourself" is pretty cliche, it doesn't mean that it's not valuable advice. In fact, it should be pretty clear between "don't try too hard" and "stick to your own sense of style" that being yourself is where it's at. Why does being yourself make you cooler? Being yourself means you're comfortable with yourself and you're more confident. When you try to be someone else, you're just an imitation, and imitations are definitely not cool.
- Think about it: only you can really be you: no one else can. You're unique and have a set of characteristics and skills that no one else around you has. You can offer the world something different. So why try to be a second-rate version of someone else? You is definitely cooler than anything else "you" can be.
6Realize that school (and being cool) doesn't last forever. In recent studies, it has been shown that kids who were cool in middle school generally aren't as successful in the long run as their less-than-cool peers.[5] So if you're stressing about being cool and popular now, try to see that the kids who are cool now are likely at their peak in life. It's all downhill from here for them, and all uphill from here for you. That's a win, even if it doesn't feel like it.
- In short, being cool is temporary. Eventually, as we age, we realize that "cool" doesn't really exist. We move on and we all start to do our own thing because it's what makes us happy. If the cool isn't coming easy to you, just wait. It gets easier with time.
We could really use your help!

- Just live your life! Live it the way you want to live it. Do you really want other people to tell you how to live? Live, love, and think.
- Be who you really are. Don't try too hard to get others to notice you.
- Have faith and confidence, be happy with who you are and be yourself.
- Be friendly and be nice to people. Say hi to people, especially if you make eye contact and they look like they're expecting a greeting, and be friendly with your teachers too.
- Don't be a bad mouth. Gossiping about people will only make them hate you.
- Being cool often means being funny. Tell jokes that make people laugh.
- If you want to become cool, don't change anything about yourself. That way you'll just be faking who you are, and then people won't know the real you, which can turn into a disaster.
- Keep up with the latest trends, but that doesn't mean that you have to have everything that's in style. Also don't sport too many fads at once. It will make you look desperate and lack a unique style.
- If you're a girl, always wear a bit of jewelry. A pretty necklace or even a simple bracelet will do.
- Be your self! No body likes a carbon copy or they'll think your boring.
- Don't always try to show off or anything similar to that just keep it to yourself and people will notice it.
- You don't really need to have lots and lots friends. Find two or three good people that will always be there or you.
- Stop bullying others.
- Have a cool haircut.
- If you already have friends, then be cool to them. Never ditch your old friends, because they can and will help you later on in life.
- Avoid spreading rumors/gossip. They may seem like a good way to climb to the top, but it will make people hate you.
- Also remember being cool isn't everything. Often in high school, the "norm" is a dangerous thing. It can lead to peer pressure which can in turn lead you to destroy your life with drugs and alcohol. If being cool means doing things you know are dangerous, don't.
- Don't make hurtful comments to others or bully. This makes others think of you badly and attracts other bad people toward you. Treat everyone as equal and be nice and friendly.
- People can see when you're trying too hard; it will make you seem like a desperate, obvious wannabe.
- Make sure you check the dress code rules before you try dressing in style. If you don't you can be in serious trouble with the teacher/principal.
