Next up was the Lian-Li booth where they had a whole bunch of both new and previously released cases on display. They also showcased a few of the smaller form factor cases such as the PC-Q05, which was specifically designed for a mini-ITX board with a passive CPU cooler. Unfortunately this chassis is not yet available for purchase and Lian-Li is not sure if they are going to release it as a consumer case. The PC-Q12 however was recently released; it has a very simple and stylish look. The PC-Q12 would be a great looking case for an HTPC setup in one's living room.
Next up are the PC-C60, PC-C50 and PC-Q25 smaller form factor cases. These are designed to be used as an HTPC, NAS, or media center while still looking very aesthetically pleasing. Both the PC-C50 and the PC-Q25 have removable motherboard and component trays, as can be seen in the bottom right image.
The PC-Q09FN chassis is another small compact form factor chassis that can be used for an HTPC/Media center setup. Taking a peek inside of the chassis, you can see that every device is mounted in its own special place in the chassis to keep everything organized and maximize airflow. The PC-Q15 has a very similar design as the Q09FN, however some of the internal components are moved to different locations. Lian-Li has also added four stylish chrome wheels to enliven to the plain style of the chassis. Continuing with the smaller HTPC cases, we saw the already released PC-V353 and TU-200. The PC-V353 has a full mesh front faceplate, which allows for more even airflow in or out of the case depending on the positioning of the fans. The TU-200 looks like it was designed with a briefcase in mind; with the handle on the top it could make a pretty decent LAN Party chassis. The PC-U6 is a 2011 Special Edition case, and you won't soon forget it once you see it. The chassis has a very unique look, somewhat like a snail shell. You will be able to fit up to an M-ATX motherboard inside of the case, which features a maximum of four PCI slots.
The next chassis is the PC-90B from Lian-Li's Hammer Series. This chassis has a nice clean front bezel to with a total of two USB 3.0 ports, mic/headphones ports and an e-SATA port to easily connect your favorite devices quickly. When you open up the back side of the chassis, you will see two large holes in the motherboard tray that allows for easy access to the bottom side of the motherboard for quick installation an aftermarket CPU cooler and routing wires to hide them from plain view.
Looking at the PC-B10FN, you can tell that this chassis is designed with silence in mind; the front door has sound dampening material to help keep out not only dust from inside your case but keeps the sound inside of the case. All of the side panels are lined with this material as well to help add even more dust/sound protection.
Lian-Li also had a few of the chassis from their 3.5" S-ATA HDD-ROM external enclosure series, specifically the EX-503 and EX-20N, on display at the booth. The EX-503 is the flagship of this lineup, allowing you to install up to five 3.5" drives with sizes up to 2000GB per drive. It has both eSATA and USB 3.0 support for maximum 5GB/s transfer rates (using USB 3.0). The internal connections for the drives are limited to SATA I/II. The entry level EX-20N enclosure supports two 3.5" SATA drives up to maximum storage capacity of 2TB per drive. Again it boasts eSATA and USB 3.0 connections with a maximum transfer speed of up to 5GB/s over USB 3.0.
One of my favorite chassis that LianLi has recently launched is the PC-100, also in the Hammer Series. Perhaps the most innovative feature of this chassis is how the internals have been rotated by 180°. Looking at the front bezel you will see a small door about half way up the front, where you are going to be able to access the "rear" I/O panel of your motherboard. There is a cable routing system that allows you to have a few cables come out the side for your mouse/keyboard/etc. as well as your monitor cable going along the side panel. There are no HDD cages installed inside, but you will find an HDD tray for six internal 3.5" or 2.5" drives along the support bars under the motherboard tray. On the back of the chassis are two 140mm fans that can be positioned to push or pull air. A single 120mm fan on the front under the bezel helps bring more air in or out.
I would imagine that most everyone at one point has lusted after an all-aluminum Lian-Li case. Unfortunately for those lustful folk, myself included, Lian-Li's amazing construction and designs were just out of their budget range. Thankfully, if your like their designs, you can now probably afford to purchase similar looks and quality under the LanCool brand. In 2009 LanCool was formed as a subsidiary company to Lian-Li with the mandate to manufacture all their award winning cases at a lower and more affordable cost. They achieved this by making the core structure and side panels of their cases out of steel rather than aluminum. This would enable Lian-Li to retain their title as a high-end enthusiast aluminum chassis manufacturer. As you can see below, there is no visual stylistic difference between the two case manufacturers.
Finally, Lian-Li had on display the SATA Hot Swap 2.5" HDD Cage. This device works by installing into an external 3.5" drive bay and inserting the Hot Swap Cage into that. This will allow you to insert either a small form factor mechanical HDD or an SSD and make the drive hot-swappable for easy access and high transfer speeds (if an SSD is used).

Loving the style of the cnps12x and its good to see they're not stagnating entirely on their 7xxx and 9xxx designs anymore.

I love the idea of supermicro getting in on some enthusiast action, although their cases look like designs Dell scrapped because they were a little too edgy.
The CNPS12X case is too big to be allowed, seems to be covering two of the RAM slots. The smaller brother to it is no slouch in the size department either and seems to be covering up one itself.
Lian-Li cases look interesting, the HTPC sized ones would fit a home theater setup's aesthetics quite well (looking like a piece of Home Theater equipment themselves). The tray system would be convenient, so long as cable length wasn't an issue. I like the appearance of the PC-QO9FN in particular (other people got their fingerprints all over its beautiful surface! Good thing it's aluminum then XD).
Mice with weights? Interesting idea. I like my Razer Lachesis but I do prefer my technology being a bit heavier (makes it feel more solid, and less likely to be blown out of my hands by a breeze XD). Just feels better, y'know?
All in all, an interesting day

Ultra Concentrated Omega 3-6-9 Overview
Omega 3-6-9 Formulas like Country Life Ultra Concentrated Omega are different than fish oil in that they boost both types of essential fats, the omega 3 and omega 6 (omega 9's are not essential nutrients). Most people get plenty of the essential omega 6 from meat, dairy and vegetable fats, so they only need extra omega 3s to put their omega fats back in balance. That's why fish oil is the most popular type of EFA supplement; it's the best source of essential omega 3 fats.
But there are plenty of situations where a person is better off with a good 3-6-9 formula like Country Life's. A 3-6-9 formula is absolutely essential if you're on a low fat diet., on a low-calorie diet to lose weight or have a bland diet that lacks a variety of foods.
Ultra Concentrated Omega 3-6-9 Description from COUNTRY LIFE Although the recent trend has been toward a more fat-free diet, we now understand that some good fats are actually essential to human well-being. Ultra Concentrated Omega 3-6-9 contains the essential fatty acids (EFAs) linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, and provides a convenient and easy way to get these good fats and maintain good health.
Ingredients: Other Ingredients: Gelatin, glycerin, purified water (capsule shell).

OK, that's a big statement to make, and an award I don't give out often. ("Coolest thing ever, that I've seen so far today" would probably be more accurate, and that's an award I give out at least once daily.)
Anyway, by now you should know that it's important to take time to tag your stories; however, keeping it simple is sometimes hard, as tag discipline falls apart in the face of long, wordy articles.
If you want to get to the meat of the story in a cool way, you could do a lot worse than working with Wordle. This tool, created by IBM researcher (and ex-They Might Be Giants drummer) Jonathan Feinberg, shows you exactly what your story is about.
For example, here's a Wordle-generated tag cloud of a recent story I wrote about Intel's green business practices.
Kind of easy to see what the highlights are, no?
(FYI Wordle works for resumes too. If you want to get a quick snapshot of your career, post your entire resume into the "create" box -- and be prepared to be boiled down to a set of meta-tags!)

Trade I would like to see
Let the bashing begin. The Houston Texans need to trade up to whatever spot that is required to draft Adrian Peterson (most likely Cleveland). People might think I am crazy, but if you draft Peterson along with the great job Rick Smith is doing in FA and hopefully this years draft, we become the second best team in our division instantly. Sure Calvin Johnson or Joe Thomas would be a good pick too, but when you have an elite RB like Peterson behind you, it makes whoever your QB and OL are jobs' a lot easier. And I am not sold on Quinn or even Russell either. Our defense needs help too, but allowing your defense to sit on the sidelines for more than 4 snaps at a time will make them better without even looking at upgrading any position. Well, there it is. Any thoughts?

Re: Trade I would like to see
Honestly this team has a lot of holes to fill and yeah we are adding a few players via FA but the looks of things is this team is going to be properly built through the draft. To do that you don't trade picks away. Cleveland would minimally want at least a third rounder probably a second rounder to move there. Our second round pick is reallya swing pick this year again. Would can hope a guy like Kalil, Rice, Hughes or anotehr #2 caliber CB drops to us in the second round. Green will be quite serviceable this year and if we upgrade our line via draft and have Spencer come back healthy we're ina lot better position then we started last year. So far the only person i've seen that might be starter material we've signed is the LB to Replace Orr possibly. Black looks more like depth and an insurance policy on Spencer. Zgonia looks like good depth rotation on the DL. I like the ability to rotate linemen in a game it keeps fresh legs at the end of the game. I'd also like to add in Ray Rice, Steve Slaton and of course Darren McFadden could all be available next year. I'd rather honestly have one of those three more well rounded backs.

Living in California comes with its perks: The temperature's fantastic all year round. The tech scene is lively and bustling. You have access to some of the greatest parks in the world. Thanks to a decade-old trusty Honda Accord, I've seen some of California's greatest treasures: the widest Sequoias, the tallest redwoods, the most powerful waterfalls, and even a coyote up close and personal.
But when I got the opportunity to try out the Chevy Volt for a weekend in December, I jumped on it. Though it was hard to reach the vehicle's infamous 100 mile-per-gallon efficiency, it happened a few times on the highway. This very quiet car handles well on city and mountain roads. The new technologies in cars astound me, evolving leaps and bounds since the Accord I drive came out. In addition to the Volt, we've found some practical and cool products to make road trips a better experience.
A little bit of planning goes a long way. OnTheWay shows you routes toward your destination and culls data from Foursquare, Yelp, Google Places and Lonely Planet to find interesting stops en route to your final destination. The pit stops can be added to your trip itinerary to create custom maps.
Thousands of people regularly post gas prices on GasBuddy.com. This data fuels the website and its smartphone apps (for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows devices) to help you find the cheapest gas nearby. No more second guessing yourself when you're on the road wondering if the station you just passed is too expensive or actually a fair price.
It's great to see new places, but I can't help but feel a tinge of guilt every time I fill up. It's not just my wallet that hurts, but the gas-pumping ritual makes polar bears sad, with their world melting underneath. I try to remind myself to drive efficiently. The surest way to know your hypermiling is working is by tracking your miles per gallon. It doesn't get simpler than the iOS app GasHog, which keeps tabs on costs and offers tips to improve fuel economy.
When your smartphone is mounted above the dashboard, the iOnRoad Android app, pictured left, uses your phone's built-in sensors and camera to map objects in front of the vehicle while calculating speed in real time. When you might be in a precarious driving situation, the app will display visual and audio alerts.
Do you have the time to burn a CD? Do you even have a spindle of blank discs lying around? Didn't think so. Every road trip needs an awesome playlist. That's where Pandora comes in handy.
These days, new cars are outfitted with infotainment systems that parallel a tablet experience. But if you're like me and drive a car reaching clunker status, automatic windows and a multi-disc CD player are your car's bells and whistles. A few simple accessories can offer small but noticeable updates.
If you don't have a dedicated GPS device, it's probably time to get one. After all, it's 2012. But smartphones do a pretty decent job too. Using navigation while fussing with your phone on the freeway is a lousy idea. An easy solution? A smartphone mount. Bracketron's universal GPS window mount, pictured left, fits most handheld devices and includes a 360-degree rotating head.
Cars have adapted to meet our changing needs. Practically a staple in all newer cars, USB ports are sorely lacking in older models. USB car chargers, such as XtremeMac's InCharge Auto Series lets you power up devices by way of the cigarette lighter when you're on the go.
If you think driving can be boring, think about antsy, sugar-fueled kids in the back. A new GM technology attempts to transform the backseat window into an interactive screen. The Windows of Opportunity project produced a prototype that can run various apps, including an app called Foofu, which simulates fogging up the mirror so you can draw with your fingers. Other apps include Pond, which lets you stream and share music with other cars on the road. Screaming "I'm going to turn this car around if you …" might be a thing of the past.
A touchscreen wheel prototype from Germany is attempting to make driving safer. Gestures on the wheel's surface lets the driver control radio or navigate a map. The professor who came up with the device says the wheel could also work in tandem with head's up display technology, which projects information onto the car's windshield.
Human error accounts for 95 percent of car accidents. You might not want to accept it, but a robot can drive a lot better than you. Though we're still about a decade away from seeing driverless cars in dealerships, prototypes thus far have found them superior drivers. Their reaction is a whole lot faster than yours. Can you see 360 degrees? Not to mention that robot cars don't get sleepy, drunk, or distracted by text messages. Personal chauffer? Yes please.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Hey, Scripting Guy! I would like to have my script prompt the user for information when it is run. But I would like the person running the script to be able to supply more than one piece of information when the script is run. For example, I would like to provide information about hard drives on the computer, but I do not want to list all of the drives. I would like the user to be able to select one specific drive on the computer. Does this make sense? - MS
Hi MS,
There are lots of things that do not make sense to me: Burning Man is a good example; however, your request makes perfectly good sense. It does indeed seem like a good idea to be able to provide a user of your script the ability to make choices, or to supply a variety of information to your script when it is launched. This goliath grouper I saw while scuba diving off the coast of Little Cayman also seems to have some good ideas. He likes to hang out under coral ledges and wait for crustaceans, small fish, or even an octopus when he can find one.
As you know, MS, scripts often require input. One reason a script needs input is to customize the information that is returned to the user. In VBScript you could use the WshArguments object to obtain information from the command line. You could also use an input box. In Windows PowerShell, you have the Read-Host cmdlet that will allow you to prompt for information from the command line. This is seen here:
PS C:\> Read-Host "Type your name"
type your name: ed
If you prompt for information, but do not save the information that is returned, all you have done is halt the execution of the script. However, this can be effectively used. For example, if you save a script that will copy files to a USB drive, you may wish to prompt the user to ensure the USB drive is connected before continuing. It might look something like the DemoPromptToCopy.ps1 script. In the DemoPromptToCopy.ps1 script, we first display a string that states we are getting ready to copy some files to a USB drive. To do this, we place the string in quotation marks—it will automatically be shown on the screen. This is seen here:
"Preparing to copy files to USB drive"
Next we use the Read-Host cmdlet to display a message prompt on the screen. The first parameter of the Read-Host cmdlet is the prompt parameter. We leave it off here, because the command is easy to read and to understand without it. This is seen here:
Read-Host "Ensure usb drive is in the computer. Press <enter> when ready to copy"
When the script gets to the Read-Host cmdlet, it will halt execution of the script until ENTER is pressed. This is seen here:
The last thing the DemoPromptToCopy.ps1 script does is copy a directory from the C: drive to the D: drive. The complete DempPromptToCopy.ps1 script is seen here.
Read-Host "Ensure USB drive is in the computer. Press <enter> when ready to copy."
Copy-Item -path "C:\fso" -destination "D:\fso" -recurse
It is possible to expand on the capabilities of the Read-Host cmdlet by saving the results from the cmdlet in a variable. After you have done this, you have a wide range of things you can do. One of my favorite Windows PowerShell scripting techniques is to use the Switch statement to evaluate the data that is returned from the command line. By using the Switch statement, you have the ability to use a regular expression pattern match to verify what is typed at the command line.
In the ReadHostQueryDrive.ps1 script, the Read-Host cmdlet is used to prompt the user to enter the drive letter that will be used to request volume information from WMI. The Switch statement is used to evaluate the value that is typed in response to the prompt. This time we must store the results of the Read-Host cmdlet into a variable. We use the $response variable for that job. The Switch statement uses the –regex parameter to use regular expressions to evaluate the value that is stored in the $response variable. If the data stored in the $response variable contains the letter "c" it will use the Get-WmiObject cmdlet to query the Win32_Volume WMI class for information on the "c" drive. If the string contained in the $response variable contains the letter "d" the script will query for information related to the "d" drive. The big advantage of the ReadHostQueryDrive.ps1 script is it allows the user to type in a wide variety of responses such as the following:
This solves a problem that that often crops up when trying to use command-line utilities from the command line—how does the utility want the drive letter specified? The ReadHostQueryDrive.ps1 script is seen here.
$response = Read-Host "Type drive letter to query <c: / d:>"Switch -regex($response) { "C" { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume -filter "driveletter = 'c:'" } "D" { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume -filter "driveletter = 'd:'" }} #end switch
A more elegant approach to requesting information from the user is to use the $host.ui.PromptForChoice class to handle the prompting. The PromptForChoice class uses the choices that are created by the System.Management.Auomation.Host.ChoiceDescription class. Because the choice descriptions are an array, we use array notation to specify the different choices. When creating the choice descriptions, each choice is preceded by the ampersand and stored in an array. This is seen here:
$choices = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]] `
@("&C:", "&D:", "&All")
Next we create a variable that is used to specify the default choice. Because it is an array, each value has numeric value that begins counting a 0. Now that we have both the choices created and the default choice identified, it is time to create the PromptForChoice class. This class needs the caption, the message, the choices and the default choice, as seen here:
$choiceRTN = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($caption,$message, $choices,$defaultChoice)
We use the Switch statement to evaluate the choice that is selected. This is seen here:
0 { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume -filter "driveletter = 'c:'" }
1 { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume -filter "driveletter = 'd:'" }
2 { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume }}
The complete PromptForChoice.ps1 script is seen here.
PromptForChoiceQueryDrive.ps1 $caption = "Please select the drive to query" $message = "Select drive to query" $choices = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]] ` @("&C:", "&D:", "&All") [int]$defaultChoice = 0 $choiceRTN = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($caption,$message, $choices,$defaultChoice) switch($choiceRTN) { 0 { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume -filter "driveletter = 'c:'" } 1 { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume -filter "driveletter = 'd:'" } 2 { Get-WmiObject -class Win32_Volume } }
$caption = "Please select the drive to query"
$message = "Select drive to query"
[int]$defaultChoice = 0

CDC to Begin Testing Trailers for Formaldehyde

CDC to Begin Testing Trailers for Formaldehyde
FEMA continues efforts to move residents out of trailers
(NEW ORLEANS) - The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today that testing for formaldehyde levels in trailers and mobile homes will begin Friday, December 21, 2007. Testing will take place in Mississippi and Louisiana. The testing comes in response to a request from FEMA for assistance in answering questions related to indoor air quality and health in order to answer concerns raised by residents and community members.
CDC will begin indoor air sampling to determine formaldehyde levels inside a representative sample of occupied trailers and mobile homes purchased by FEMA to provide temporary housing for Gulf Coast residents. Models to be tested include travel trailers; modified travel trailers, often called "park models;" and mobile homes.
Currently, no federal guidelines or scientific standards exist related to formaldehyde levels in travel trailers. CDC will provide guidance to FEMA and information to trailer residents based on scientific findings. The guidance will help residents understand what the test results mean for them, and it will help FEMA establish priorities for which families may be in most urgent need of permanent housing. FEMA has placed a priority on moving people out of temporary housing.
"We are mindful of the importance of this information to people who have been living in temporary housing for such a long time," said Dr. Henry Falk, director of CDC's Coordinating Center for Environmental Health and Injury Prevention, said. "This is a complex task. Knowledge about health effects of formaldehyde on long-term residents of temporary housing is limited. Levels we find in these tests will help everyone involved in this process make better informed decisions about what steps to take."
"FEMA's first priority has been and continues to be the health and safety of temporary housing residents," said FEMA Administrator David Paulison. "Upon request, FEMA will continue to move any temporary housing unit resident with a formaldehyde concern into a hotel or motel immediately and will work with all residents to provide them a housing alternative. Every occupant who has expressed a health concern through our hotline has been offered a housing alternative and we are continuing to work with each of them to find a permanent housing solution that meets their needs."
CDC will take samples of air inside about 500 occupied trailers and mobile homes. Residents are encouraged to participate in the testing if contacted, but participation is not required. Testing will take approximately five weeks. A summary of findings will follow in early 2008, when all testing has been completed and the data have been analyzed. At the same time, residents who participated in the testing will be notified of the results for their residences.
Formaldehyde is common in the environment and is used in manufacturing a variety of building products. Formaldehyde has been found in almost all indoor environments. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present in substantial concentrations both indoors and outdoors.
While some mitigation activities may help reduce formaldehyde levels, all residents continue to be encouraged to seek long-term housing solutions. FEMA is working with the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs and others to provide sufficient housing for all residents seeking to move out of trailers and mobile homes.
The indoor air quality assessment is one of several actions CDC has initiated to assist FEMA in protecting the health of temporary housing residents. The other public health activities include:
- Convening a panel of experts to identify and advise on health issues that could be associated with long-term residence in temporary housing units, such as travel trailers.
- Assessing formaldehyde levels across different models and types of unoccupied trailers to identify the factors that reduce or heighten those levels. This assessment also involves identifying cost-effective ways to reduce or lower formaldehyde levels and concentrations in temporary housing environments. This series of tests includes conducting an emissions study of building materials in conjunction with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
- Conducting a study that looks at the health of children currently living in trailers along with a long-term study of children born while their families resided in FEMA trailers and mobile homes in Mississippi and Louisiana.
- Providing educational materials and information to trailer residents about the CDC studies as well as steps that can be taken to improve indoor air quality.
The two agencies have established toll-free hotlines to respond to public inquiries. FEMA employees are available to discuss housing concerns at 1-866-562-2381, or TTY 1-800-462-7585. CDC specialists will respond to health-related concerns at 1-800-CDC-INFO.

This paper describes an application of statistical co-occurrence techniques that built on top of a probabilistic image annotation framework is able to increase the precision of an image annotation system. We observe that probabilistic image analysis by itself is not enough to describe the rich semantics of an image. Our hypothesis is that more accurate annotations can be produced by introducing additional knowledge in the form of statistical co-occurrence of terms. This is provided by the context of images that otherwise independent keyword generation would miss. We applied our algorithm to the dataset provided by ImageCLEF 2008 for the Visual Concept Detection Task (VCDT). Our algorithm not only obtained better results but also it appeared in the top quartile of all methods submitted in ImageCLEF 2008.

Redwood City Cargill Salt Works Development, Measures V and W (November 2008)
From Ballotpedia
The ballot measures, Measure V and Measure W, were both defeated.
Both measures related to a proposed real estate development by Cargill of the salt flats east of Highway 101.[1]
Save the Bay
Measure W was sponsored by Save the Bay. Measure W:
- Proposed that all development on open space be passed by Redwood City voters with a two-thirds majority.
- Would have permanently changed the city's charter — or constitution — by requiring all open space development changes go to a vote of the people.
- The change would have affected 40 parcels of land in two zoning districts, the tidal plain and the Redwood Shores Bayfront, all city parks and the uses of five privately held areas of land: Cargill salt ponds; Docktown Marina; marsh land south of Galveston Drive, adjacent to Redwood Creek; wetland area of the Preserve at Redwood Shores; and Oracle's parcel along Belmont slough.
City-sponsored measure
The second ballot measure, Measure V, was put forward by the city council:
- Measure V proposed that any development of the Cargill Salt Works be passed by voters with a simple majority vote — 50 percent plus one.
Election results
Measure V
Measure V | ||||
Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
No | 13,733 | 51.0% | ||
Yes | 13,213 | 49.0% |
Measure W

Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
No | 17,594 | 62.6% | ||
Yes | 10,520 | 37.4% |
- These final, certified, results are from the San Mateo County elections office.
Ballot questions
Measure V
The question on the ballot:
Measure V: Shall a Charter Amendment requiring majority voter approval for future development of the Cargill Lands, consisting of approximately 1,450 acres east of Highway 101 and south of Seaport Boulevard, with exemptions for takings and vested rights, be adopted?[2] |
Measure W
The question on the ballot:
Measure W: Shall a Charter Amendment requiring two-thirds voter ratification of legislative acts approving certain land uses in area of the City designated as "Park", "Unimproved Areas (Land or Water)", "Future Development Expanding Limits of Urbanization", "Controlled Waterways (Redwood Shores Area)", or "San Francisco Bay Water" in the General Plan or designated as "Tidal Plain" or "Redwood Shores Bay Front" in the Zoning Code, with exemptions for housing obligations, takings, and vested rights, be adopted?[2] |

Steele 'hungry' to repeat title
Nothing worth celebrating except win over Dekaney.
By Lorne Chan : December 11, 2011 : Updated: December 11, 2011 10:30pm
Photo By Nick de la Torre/Houston Chronicle
Ross Luensmann (left), Mason Wallrich (right) and the Steele defense have been dominant the past three games.
Steele players were getting a little rowdy at halftime of their state semifinal on Saturday. And with reason.
The Knights had a 27-point lead over Port Arthur Memorial and took a minute to enjoy another dominant performance.
Then junior Jordan Sterns told the team to quiet down and get back to work.
"We were pretty hyped up, and Jordan reminded us that we haven't reached our goal," safety Erik Huhn said. "We know business isn't over until we have another state championship."
The Knights (15-0), the defending Class 5A Division II state champions, return to Cowboys Stadium to face Spring Dekaney (13-2) in the state final at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Last year's state semifinal ended with many of the Steele seniors in tears, players overcome with emotion over reaching the title game. This time, Steele's 51-31 win against Memorial in Houston was strictly business.
The Knights extended their winning streak to 28 games and held a Memorial offense that averaged 40.1 points to just 10 after three quarters.
But players said there's one game left before they're going to consider what they've accomplished.
"We're all still hungry," linebacker Ross Luensmann said. "We haven't cared to celebrate anything yet. Wait until after the state championship game. If we win, it'll be an all-out party."
Steele will turn its focus to Dekaney and running back Trey Williams, a 5-foot-8, 175-pound Texas A&M commitment. Williams has rushed for 3,633 yards and 45 TDs this season, numbers Steele coach Mike Jinks said remind him of former Knights running back Malcolm Brown, who is now at Texas.
Dekaney scores 38.1 points a game, the fourth straight Steele opponent that enters averaging 38 points or more. Steele outscored its last three opponents a combined 83-13 in the first half.
If the Knights win another title, they'll become the second area team to repeat as state champions. Judson (1992 and 1993) is the other.
Jinks won't consider Steele's place in history yet.
"The goal has never been getting to the state championship; it's been winning the state championship," Jinks said. "It's been the same expectation all season. We can't think about the other stuff until we finish."

Alfred Spiro Moisiu (Albanian: [alˈfrɛd spi'rɔ ˈmɔisiu] ( listen); born 1 December 1929) was the 4th President of the Republic of Albania from 2002-2007. He is the eldest son of famed Albanian Army general Spiro Moisiu.
Education and career[edit]
In 1946 he was sent to the Soviet Union as a student. In 1948 he graduated from the military engineering school in Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad). He served in Tirana as a platoon-commander at the United Officers' School (1948–1949) and as a teacher at the Military Academy (1949–1951). From 1952 to 1958 he attended the Academy of Military Engineering in Moscow, graduating with a Golden Medal (a distinction for excellent study).
Back in Albania, Moisiu continued his military career in the engineers' department of the Ministry of Defense. From 1967 to 1968 he attended to the higher courses of general staff at the Defense Academy of Tirana. At the same time he commanded a pontoon brigade in Kavajë (1966–1971). In 1971 he became the chief of the Bureau of Engineering and Fortifications of the Ministry of Defense (under Enver Hoxha when thousands of concrete casements were built as defense against states held to be hostile).
In 1979, Moisiu received a PhD in military science. From 1981 he was Deputy Minister of Defense. Under the ministers Beqir Balluku, Mehmet Shehu and Kadri Hasbiu he held this post until October 1982 (Prime Minister Shehu died violently in December 1981). During this time Moisiu was the main architect of the bunkerisation of Albania. He was appointed by Enver Hoxha to fill Albania with bunkers, a legacy that Albania has until today. But the bunkerisation of Albania produced a disaster, causing Enver Hoxha to send Moisiu to Burrel, where he served as the commander of an engineers' company from 1982 to 1984. Moisiu left active service as a general.
He returned to public life in December 1991 when he was appointed Minister of Defense in Vilson Ahmeti's technocratic government. He held that post until April 1992 when the first Government of the Democratic Party, led by Aleksander Meksi, was formed.
As he was a top communist aparatchik, the new executive invited Moisiu to work as a counselor to the Minister of Defense. In 1994, Safet Zhulali appointed him the deputy minister charged with elaborating the defence politics of Albania. Moisiu's advice was to concentrate the efforts to the reconstruction of the armed forces that were in bad condition, and to start preparations for joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). In 1994 he founded the Albanian North Atlantic Association and was elected as its president. On January 24, 1995 he signed an individual association treaty binding Albania with NATO's Partnership for Peace project. From 1995, Moisiu attended to the VIPs' courses of the NATO College in Rome.
When the Albanian Socialist Party came to power in 1997, Moisiu lost his post in the Ministry. In the following years, he took an active part in extra-governmental activity, organizing international and all-Albanian conferences where issues of security and defense in South East Europe, armament control and collecting arms from civil persons were discussed.
Re-emergence in politics[edit]
In 2002, under pressure from international organizations, Moisiu was chosen by Sali Berisha and Fatos Nano as a consensus candidate for the presidency after the end of Rexhep Meidani's term. Moisiu was found fitting for that post since he was a researcher, was politically neutral, was known as an effective mediator (a quality much appreciated in Albania, which tends to inner quarrels) and had a decisive pro-Western and NATO orientation.
Albanian media emphasized the unusual cooperative spirit between the Albanian Socialist Party and the Albanian Democratic Party: Moisiu was a candidate approved by both Berisha and Nano. Neither Nano nor former president Meidani ran for the presidency, as they had no chance to gather the necessary three fifths of the vote. Meidani was found to be too close to the Socialists, and therefore conservative candidates would not support him.
Moisiu was elected by the People's Assembly by a vote of 97 to 19 (with 14 abstentions) and he was sworn in for a five-year term as president on July 24, 2002.
After the constitutional reform of November 1998, politics is mainly the task of the government. Moisiu promised to contribute to the strengthening of parliamentary democracy, the stabilization of the judiciary system and the integration of Albania into Euro-Atlantic structures.
The day after the beginning of Moisiu's presidency, Socialist Prime Minister Pandeli Majko resigned, and the president appointed Fatos Nano, the leader of the Socialist Party, the new Prime Minister of Albania. That change was a sign of dissension within the party, and compensated Nano for giving up his ambitions for the presidency.
Moisiu has since strongly criticized Nano for excessive concentration of power and the slowness of reforms.
Personal life[edit]
Moisiu speaks Russian, Italian, and English. He has written many articles and research papers on military science, and defense and security issues. His book Kosovo: Between War and Peace was published in English in 2005.
He has been appointed as a
- Croatia : Knight Grand Cross of the Croatian Grand Order of King Tomislav (, July 2, 2007), "For outstanding contribution to the promotion of friendship and development co-operation between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Albania."
- Lithuania : Grand Cross of the Order of Vytautas the Great (27 March 2007)[1]

A spring slowdown may be in store on the jobs front. Companies added a scant 88,000 employees to payrolls in March – the weakest hiring in nearly a year and deeply below economists' expectations. But the unemployment rate that dipped slightly for all workers last month fell more dramatically for older adults, the government reported Friday. The jobless rate for workers age 55-plus slid to 5.5 percent in March from 5.8 percent the month before. Among men in that age group, …

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4 in 1 review
My parents-in-law gave us an old copy of this game a couple of years ago. Since then, we've enjoyed many rounds of the game with friends.
I cannot speak for the quality of the pieces in this edition, but I can describe the game play (of the classic wooden game).
You have a rectangular board in which you set round (short cylinder) pieces with small handles. You must hold back the spring-loaded bar while doing so. The pieces are of three sizes: small (worth 1 point), medium (worth 2 points), and large (worth 3 points).
Once the pieces are all placed in the board, you can release the spring-loaded bar so it pushes tightly against the field of pieces. Along the side of the board are numbered increments, looking much like a (simplified) ruler.
Players take turns removing one piece per turn. You may only touch one piece on your turn. You may choose to pass, but if everyone around the table does so, then you may not pass again until you've attempted to remove a piece.
When you remove your piece (or clumsily touch a piece, if you're me): If the spring-loaded bar does not move, you keep your piece. If the bar moves, but does not go past the next numbered line, you get to keep your piece. If the bar moves past the next numbered line you do not get to keep your piece, in addition you need to relinquish three points worth of pieces from your accumulated total.
The game ends when there are only two pieces left. All players add up the values of their pieces (1 point for small, 2 points for medium, and 3 points for large pieces). The player with the most points wins.
I love this game. Everyone with whom I've played, really enjoyed it as well.
I highly recommend this game - very fun!

David Dehner (Auburn, United States) makes photos and mixed media artworks. By replaying the work for each exhibition and pushing the evocative power of the work a little further, Dehner tries to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape or content of the presented artwork is secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intention of presenting. His works are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are important. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are always important. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, he often creates work using creative game tactics, but these are never permissive. Play is...

Viewer Comments: Hernia - PrognosisPatient Comments & ReviewsThe eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Hernia:
Comment from: Bev, 45-54 Female (Patient)
Published: January 09
I had strangulated hernia, which caused me to have emergency surgery. The doctor removed over 12 inches of dead bowel. I am at home now but, this was such a bad experience.
Comment from: 45-54 Male
Published: December 13
My son has a hernia between his navel and pelvic area which is enlarged five centimeters. The doctors have given his a belt but the hernia has become painful and he has to have a laxative for his bowels to move. He is incarcerated and the doctors will not operate.
Comment from: Momma, 55-64 Female (Patient)
Published: December 13
I had hernia repair while I was having a liver transplant. I was not pleased with it because it left a bulge in my navel I hadn't had before the repair. I didn't even know I had a hernia.
Comment from: JJ, 75 or over Male
Published: November 22
After a slight burning in lower groin area, the burning and uncomfortable ache progressed over an estimated month. Went to my primary care physician for an exam - prognosis a hernia. He has recommended consultation with a local surgeon - which is scheduled in two weeks. In the interim, no heavy lifting.
Comment from: Bill, 65-74 Male (Patient)
Published: November 21
I'm 72 and my small abdominal hernia is totally new to me. With little knowledge of this condition, I was feeling a bit panicky. My primary care physician has always been insensitive to my feelings and thinks that explanations are not his responsibility. All he had to say, after I proved to him that I had a hernia was "Nobody should live past age 75." Naturally, I fired him. Thank you for the clear information. I will find another doctor to evaluate my hernia. You have not only informed me as what action to take, you have calmed my mind.
Comment from: kk, 25-34 Male (Patient)
Published: September 15
A year ago I had hernia surgery. I still have pain in stomach after the operation.
Comment from: davyidol, 55-64 Female (Patient)
Published: July 15
I underwent abdominal hernia surgery about three years ago, I was not told what caused this condition but I assume that it was due to a previous exploratory surgery to find out the cause of a severe abdominal infection. I turned out to be a misplaced appendix which threw my symptoms off and created a severe infection throughout my abdomen. I believe this infection eroded or weakened the abdominal wall, creating two large hernias and severe pain. During surgery my entire abdominal lining was examined and found to be greatly compromised. A large netting was placed over nearly the entire abdomen. After three years I have no pain where the hernias were but I do experience some occasional stomach pain as well as under my diaphragm (where the netting stops) but it is so much better and I can do things again. It's not perfect, but ninety percent relief is much better than not being able to do anything.
Comment from: MICHELE, 35-44 Female
Published: June 22
I have had two hernia repairs and how I have to have another one. I don't understand why I keep getting hernias. I do not lift heavy items and I'm not sure what I can do to stop this from happening.
Comment from: PP99, 55-64 Female (Patient)
Published: June 20
I had an incarcerated umbilical wall hernia repaired on 6/1/11. The surgeon said she could repair it successfully and due to the size that I probably had it for a very long time. I was hospitalized for 3 days and in an extended care facility for 2 additional days. This was because I am disabled and needed a couple of days of recuperation to be able to care for myself. Post surgery the pain was strong when trying to sit up or stand and walk for the first 2 1/2 days and moderate on the third day. After the third day it was tolerable but I was somewhat weak and light headed. After the fourth day I had intermittent pain that was tolerable. No problems with infection of any kind and I am healing nicely. I am a type 2 diabetic so my recovery is much better than was anticipated. I was blessed with a great surgeon.
Comment from: BSP, 55-64 Male (Patient)
Published: June 13
I had an operation for an epigastric hernia about 10 years ago. Before I underwent surgery the surgeon told me that such operations are often unsuccessful. Well, he was correct because 10 years down the line, it is back as bad as it was before. It is unsightly. Must Read Articles Related to Hernia

Glass Delirium's Scott Uhl talks lucky accidents and calculator games
When Scott Uhl first formed Forgotten Serenade about five years ago, everyone hated the name, so it was changed to Glass Delirium, after one of the act's earliest songs. Now, following a handful of lineup changes and as many stylistic evolutions, the band has arrived at a style that's informed by classical structure but not trapped by it — like jazz-inflected metal, but more focused on songwriting and less obsessed with technique.
With the relatively recent additions of Switchpin's Pat Anderson on drums and Michelle Huerd of Born in Winter and My Vendetta on vocals, Glass Delirium — which also includes Uhl, bassist Aeon Cruz and keyboardist David Newell — has greatly expanded its dynamism and emotional palette. The group's latest album, Diamond Lullabies, showcases heavy music written by musicians graced with a keen ear for inventive and evocative soundscapes. We recently sat down with them for a candid chat about their music and its evolution.
Westword: What did you try to do with this band when you started, and what led to its change in direction?
Scott Uhl: When we started, we had no idea. We just wrote songs, most of which weren't very good, I don't think. It took just one song to have that kind of darker, jazzy, movie-score type of thing. We thought, "This is cool — let's write more like this." That gave us our focus point.
Michelle Huerd: [The more focused direction] is probably my fault. I think a lot of the music was dynamic and crazy before. I think I'm fairly normal in my style, so I probably normalized it just a little bit. I'm hoping not too much, but just enough to change it a little. I had to grow a lot as a musician, because it's dynamically different from what I'm used to.
SU: I think it's good with how crazy we were and how "normal" you are. If we find a middle ground that makes both of us happy, then it's not excessively crazy and not so normal that it's boring.
How did you get into playing guitar?
SU: I got into guitar by accident. I was sixteen, and one of my best friends said, "Hey, dude, take a guitar class with me so I'm not bored." I had never played another instrument in my life, and I went in there and was hooked after the first week of being in it. I stopped playing video games, stopped making calculator games, and I've been focusing on guitar ever since.
Calculator games?
SU: Remember the TI-83 calculator? Drug Wars or Hick Quest or Mega Man? I used to program those. I wanted to be a computer programmer. I programmed like fifty games, and they're still available online. I was such a dork. That's what I would do all the time.

In this paper we address the problem of providing different ways to see objects in an object-oriented database system. The paper first issues the notions of "derived object", "virtual object", and "virtual schema", and then provides a mechanism to construct user-specific views that simply and naturally extends the underlying object-oriented data model. The user view is constructed by operators defined in this paper, which are powerful enough to capture the essential feature of data abstraction and inheritance in the underlying data model. The method of mapping from the view to the conceptual model is presented by examples.
Keywords: object-oriented model, semantic data model, view, derived object
