Latest Mount Etna Stories
ETNA challenges the conventional approach to creating financial technology applications and opens their code to FinTech firms looking to build new software. NEW YORK, Aug.
28 April -1 May 2014, Boca Raton Resort and Club, Boca Raton, FL NEW YORK, April 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- ETNA
Italy's famed volcano Mt. Etna has erupted for the twelfth time this year, spewing lava and ash into the upper atmosphere.
Mount Etna volcano on the island of Sicily erupted during the weekend, shooting flames 820-feet in the air and spewing lava down its slopes.
Internationally renowned geophysicist Dr Wouter Schellart has developed the first dynamic model to explain the mystery of the largest and most fascinating volcano in Europe, Mount Etna.
Using radar images acquired by ESA satellites from 1992 to 2006, scientists have for the first time been able to monitor the long-term behavior of Mt Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano.
A new development in which scientists have successfully recreated the conditions of an erupting volcano may shed light on new methods of predicting eruptions.
By Phil Stewart ROME (Reuters) - An underwater volcano with a base larger than Washington D.C. has been discovered just off the shores of Sicily, a scientist with Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology said on Thursday.

Walking Can Protect Your Brain
A study of 300 volunteers over a 13 year period has found that those who walk most often could actually be defending themselves against a host of memory problems, including dementia and Alzheimer"Ëœs.
Walking may actually protect the brain from shrinking and preserve memory in elderly people, said neurologists who were involved in the research.
The US study performed neurological tests on dementia-free people in Pittsburgh who agreed to log their walks and receive brain monitoring in 1995. The participants received more testing nine years later, and then again in 2008.
The follow-up tests showed that those who walked the most cut their risk of developing memory problems by half.
The neurologists suggest that the optimum distance for a good "neurological exercise" is about 9 miles per week. They reported in the journal Neurology that going the extra mile after that showed no discernible bonus.
The first round of scans showed that nine-mile walkers had larger brains than those who walked less.
After four years, about 40 percent of the participants — 116 people — had developed some dementia or cognitive impairment. The effects were 50 percent greater on those who only walked short distances or not at all.
Leader of the study, Dr Kirk Erickson, of the University of Pittsburgh, said: "Our results should encourage well-designed trials of physical exercise in older adults as a promising approach for preventing dementia and Alzheimer's disease."
Brain size normally shrinks in late adulthood, and can lead to memory problems. "But if regular exercise in midlife could improve brain health, thinking and memory in later life, it would be one more reason to make regular exercise in people of all ages a public health imperative," said Erickson.
Supported by the US National Institute on Aging, the study followed a range of other medical studies on the benefits of walking.

Snack makers can boost sales and secure stronger retail relations with data-driven product pairing rather than guesswork, says Nielsen Perishables Group.
PepsiCo will strengthen its snacks network in the Philippines, manufacturing Cheetos via its beverage partner Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines (PCPPI).
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is going to squeeze smaller snack players who may not have the finances and resources to implement required changes under regulations, warns a lawyer.
Sales of snacks account for a whopping 40% of the $370 billion U.S. packaged food market and are set to grow 2% annually through 2019, thanks in large part to millennials who eat more snacks than any other group, according to analysis by Euromonitor.
Our ability to remember certain foods may influence whether we select them more than actual preference, according to Swiss psychologists.

Toting folders full of potential mates, Wray, Dolego and 19 other men arrive at New York City's JFK airport to catch the flight to Odessa.
Dolego expects Julia to meet him at the airport. If this and other possible love connections fail to ignite, he says he'll keep trying.
"There's a couple of guys that have gone on the tour twice, sometimes three times. … Twenty percent of the men, according to John, get married over there on their first meeting. The other 20 percent find a substantial relationship, and they communicate back and forth, which eventually leads to marriage," he said.
Two flights and many hours later, the men arrive in Odessa. Cary is dejected that Julia isn't waiting at the airport as promised. Bob is thrilled to receive his first phone message from a woman named Elena.
"She's very nice. We've been corresponding, sending emails, but an email is an email. A person is a person. Big difference. Right?" Wray said.
After settling in, the men attend "socials" to which their online contacts have been invited and where, they've been promised, women outnumber men 25 to one. Meetings at socials lead to private dates.
Cary Dolego has clicked with a woman named Helen. Bob Wray has finally met Alla, an age-appropriate prospect he's been emailing with for months.
There are hopeless romantics on both sides of the romance tour.
"I met a man whom I liked very much. His name is Aaron. He's from the USA. Maybe it's love," said Angelika, a Ukrainian woman who participated in the tour events.
In addition to love, some women want to live in the U.S. and pursue a career. Others think American men have better family values.
"Ukrainian men seem to be less serious toward. [their home and family] because they want to find a girl who will do everything. … We think that men from America are more serious toward their families," said Svetlana Kalinichenko, a participant.
Kalinichenko, 34, said the social was "marvelous."
I like dancing and all the attention," she said.
She seemed to hit it off with a tour member. She said she would like to start a relationship with an American, adding that she has many friends living in the U.S. with their American husbands who "say they are quite happy."
Others come for a good time. One participant, Julia, estimated "no more than 30 percent" of the women attended to find true love and a successful marriage.
And of course, some women who answer A Foreign Affair's call see a chance to get rich foreigners to give them cash, expensive meals and gifts -- even a green card.
So two can play at the Internet matchmaking game, a game combining romantic hopes with less lofty things like sex and money.
Nonetheless, lawmakers and advocacy groups worry most about abused immigrant brides like Katerina Brunot, a Russian.
According to an article in The New York Times, after marrying a romance tourist and moving to the Atlanta suburbs, Brunot's Prince Charming turned into a monster. He physically abused her and, when she tried to flee, cut himself and had Brunot arrested for assault.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
The band itself is barely visible here. For most of the film's 99 minutes, hirsute sun-casualties frolic on the tarmac, orating, vending, twirling, inhaling, comparing garb and histories, casting for miracles, raising toddlers. Meeske may have set out only to make Stupid Fucking Hippies: Behind the Music, but history imposed a subtext. In their final years the Dead lost control of the bus, as the scene became more tailgate party than festival. On-screen, fault lines are visible inside the camp; subsistence-level crafts dealers resent the nitrous pushers who get the kids fucked up and then "take their $4000 to the Hyatt Regency for a steak dinner." After rioting Hoosiers force the band to cancela first in their 30-year historya fed-up Head does brisk business selling "Gatecrashers Suck!" T-shirts at cost, and the Dead themselves issue a statement asking fans to "think of [the cops] as us." Meeske cannily edits his 44 hours of footage to maximize the peace officers' screen time, using audio from blissed-out drum circles to underline the growing sense of anxiety. But just when things start to get interesting, Jerry croaks. Meeske is left faithfully recording the flatulent wake (Lesh: "Now he is done with becoming; now he is being"). It's a bummer, because there's probably a great feature lurking in his tapes. It'll just take a few more blind men to reveal that particular pachyderm.

CBI Director Ranjit Sinha has written a letter to CBDT Chairman R K Tewari asking him to hand over evidence, if any, against any former CBI officials who are alleged to have links with meat exporter Moin Akhtar Qureshi who is being probed for suspected tax evasion.
With Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi promising action in this case during the course of his Lok Sabha campaign, the Income Tax(IT) department has prepared a detailed report which will be submitted when the new Government takes over, official sources said.
A Doon school alumnus, 57-year-old Qureshi has been under IT department lens for several months now for alleged tax evasion as the tax sleuths claimed that the turnover of his companies was 'under-reported'.
The IT department claimed to have 500 hours of telephonic transcripts of Qureshi even as reports surfaced about alleged links of a former CBI Director A P Singh with the meat exporter.
The tax sleuths had roped in Enforcement Directorate as well to probe alleged money laundering in the case by Qureshi, who had to resign as president of its old boys' society of Doon school recently after the controversy broke out.
When contacted, Singh, who is at present a member of UPSC, said, "Qureshi is a personal friend. He is neither a wanted fugitive nor an accused. His tax evasion allegations can be better answered by him."
Qureshi did not respond to repeated calls and messages sent to his mobile. Attempt was also made to reach Qureshi through 'Contact Us' section of his company's official website.
Sinha wrote a 'secret' letter to Central Board of Direct Taxes chairman asking him to provide evidence, if any, against any CBI officer, present or former, so that the same could be analysed and action taken in accordance to the law, official sources said. CBDT has the administrative control over Income Tax department.
The letter was received from the CBI recently as the Income tax department was preparing a detailed presentation of the case to be put forward before the new government, they said.
Without mentioning any name, the CBI Director assured that proper action would be initiated against guilty officers, the sources said.
The reports indicated that the former CBI Director had introduced Qureshi in elite social circles of the national capital
The IT authorities were also probing whether Qureshi had any link to a heavy cash transaction between Dubai and London.
In a series of searches being conducted by the IT department at various premises being linked to Qureshi, the tax sleuths have claimed to have frozen Rs 20 crore cash and jewellery so far and the deposits in bank accounts.
A final report was also being prepared in which the IT assessment is reported to have included a mention of his posh bungalow in South Delhi.

Field Hockey Braces and Supports
Field hockey involves a lot of running up and down the field and sharp turns to get an edge over your opponents. Like other sports that involve similar movements, field hockey may put your knees and ankles at risk for injury. Something as simple as running on uneven ground can cause an ankle rollover injury, leading to ankle sprains. Your knees also undergo strain during field hockey, especially if you make sharp turns at high speeds. The sudden change in direction can cause your leg to move unnaturally, causing ligament strain or even tears. Wearing field hockey braces and supports adds stabilization to your joints to help keep them moving normally and to protect your body against injury. Check out the field hockey braces recommended by our brace coaches today!

HOUSTON Everyone appears to be trying to eat more fish these days, but there s so much to consider before taking a bite.
Consumers can question everything from sustainability to origin and whether the fish has been farm-raised or caught in the wild.
We d prefer that it was wild and fresh over farm-raised, says grocery store customer Greg Robertson. Sometimes you just take what you can get.
Executive Chef Kevin Bryant of Eleven: Eleven restaurant won t settle for anything other than wild.
Wild for sure, he explains. (It has) a lot more flavor. It s in its natural environment. The texture, everything is so much better with wild.
Wild fish is more expensive and has fewer calories. Farm-raised has been found to be cheaper and has more Omega-3 fatty acids. That is because they are fed on a more regular schedule, according to registered dietitian Kristi King with Texas Children s Pavilion for Women.
She adds they may look a little plumper, but U.S. regulations prohibit the use of hormones or antibiotics for growth in farm-raised fish.
Other concerns that have been put down by researchers when it comes to wild fish include the levels of contaminants like mercury. They were determined to be insignificant trace amounts.
The four main types of farm-raised seafood/fish include: shrimp, tilapia, catfish and popular salmon.
King recommends incorporating a variety of fish in your diet, both wild and especially farm raised.
She confides, As our wild fish population dwindles we re going to have to turn to the farm fish.
Until that time the world is your oyster and you can have your fish of choice and eat it too.

I had taken the washer out and replaced both hoses, and the leak stopped for a load or two. I then replaced the water inlet valve, because I could see that the plastic threads were pretty bad. The repair is very simple on this model. There is no need to open the cabinet at all, the entire job is done on the back. I used a socket and the stubby driver for the mounting screws and switched to a screwdriver tip and opened the clamp on the hose leading to the air gap assembly. The entire operation took about five minutes. The repair worked for two or three loads.The water leak came back, so after some searching I finally figured out how to open the cabinet, and that took longer than actually doing it. The front opens with two big screws located on the front about 4" above the floor, just in the corner of the indentation on the panel.With the top tipped up (tape the lid!) out of the way, the leak proved to be coming out of the air gap assembly. There is an injector nozzle and a rubber sleeve that goes over it. They fit in the large black hose. I easily opened the hose clamp, removed the old parts, put in the new one. The rubber sleeve has a cover that goes over the edge of the plastic injection nozzle. You have to make sure it is entirely and smoothly inserted. Easy. Then insert it all the way to the shoulder of the end of the hose with that wide end facing into the hose and the other end open. Slip the open end through the bracket and into the other hose. Tighten all your clamps, and carefully pressure test. Do not touch any metal parts if there is water spewing. Just turn it off, pull the plug, and fix the problem. In my case, it worked perfectly, and I turned it off, replaced the front and the job was done. Despite the great advice I got here, I ended up getting the nozzle parts in town. I had to go to an appliance parts outlet rather than a place like Home Depot, but it was quick and no shipping. Still, I would not have tried this without the great advice and fast service here.

The Green Board Game Company turns 24 this year. To celebrate, here are 24 things we think every child should do before they grow up…
Don't you love an unexpected benefit? You know, when a decision or a course of action has positive consequences that you didn't intend or foresee. We had our own unexpected benefit moment at BrainBox HQ recently…
Many children are turned off maths at a young age simply by being told that they just "don't have what it takes" to be good at the subject. However, by adapting the right mindset, you can prevent maths becoming filled with fear and loathing – for you or your child.
Summer 2014 will be remembered in three simple words. Ice Bucket Challenge. A silly idea that has caught on and generated millions of pounds for charities around the world. How can we capitalise on this new-found excitement? How can we get our children interested and involved in charity? Here are five ideas…
When your child takes the big step from primary to secondary school, the transition may not be so smooth. Preparation to know how to help and how to walk with your children through whatever life throws at them is key.

A threshold amount of 20 mm in 30 minutes is adopted, according to the first warning level issued for high rainfall rates by the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (NE Spain). These type of events are relatively frequent during autumn in the Mediterranean area and may produce flash-floods and substantial socio-economic losses when affecting densely populated areas in small catchments near the coast. Moreover, they can also produce local damage due to severe weather induced by winds of convective origin such as tornadoes or microbursts. Therefore, under these circumstances nowcasting systems producing very-short range (<3h) quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) are particularly necessary. Recent studies have pointed out the benefits of combining or blending the information from radar-based nowcasting systems and high resolution Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models to fill the gap between the lead-times of forecasts provided by each type of system - see for example Atencia et al. (2010), Berenguer et al. (2012) or the review by Pierce et al. (2012). Here we focus on assessing the quality of precipitation forecasts to examine realistic lead-times provided in four selected cases (see Table 1) for different precipitation amounts. The evaluation is done in two ways. Firstly forecasts are compared against radar based Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE). Secondly the QPF fields are compared against actual raingauge data. Results are presented for all events together and for individual cases. 2014-09-15T12:23:34Z The use of NWP forecasts to improve an ensemble nowcasting technique http://hdl.handle.net/2117/24049 Title: The use of NWP forecasts to improve an ensemble nowcasting technique Authors: Buil Martínez, Alejandro; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel Abstract: Quantitative Precipitation Nowcasting (QPN) is one of the main applications of radar observations. On one hand, one of the most used nowcasting algorithms is Lagrangian extrapolation. It shows skill in specifying the timing and location of precipitation over short time periods, but shows low skill when using past precipitation trends to predict changes in precipitation intensity. On the other hand, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models have roof skill at predicting the precise timing and location of precipitation, although they provide useful information about the intensity trends. It is therefore to investigate whether this additional information provided by NWP could be used to improve QPN. SBMcast (Berenguer et al., 2011) is an ensemble nowcasting algorithm based on Lagrangian extrapolation of recent radar observations. It generates a set of future rainfall scenarios (ensemble members) compatible with observations and preserving the spatial and temporal structure of the rainfall field according to the String of Beads model (Pegram and Clothier, 2001). This study shows the first results obtained with a methodology to constrain the spread of SBMcast ensembles with the additional information provided by NWP. 2014-09-12T10:58:36Z WiBasin: basin management through an integrated platform http://hdl.handle.net/2117/23677 Title: WiBasin: basin management through an integrated platform Authors: Llort Pavon, Xavier; Sánchez-Diezma Guijarro, Rafael; Sancho, David; Rodríguez, Álvaro; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel Abstract: In this work we present WiBasin, a cloud platform for basin and dam management.

Aquest fet es magnifica especialment en episodis de pluges intenses, molt habituals al nostre territori (Llasat et al, 2005) i és aquí on juga un paper clau l'estimació quantitativa de precipitació (EQP). En el present document, es mostra el procés de generació de les diferents EQP que es fan al Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya (SMC), amb resolucions que van des de la semi-horària fins a diària. Aquests productes es generen mitjançant la combinació de les dades de la xarxa de radars meteorològics (XRAD) i de les estacions meteorològiques automàtiques (XEMA). Amb aquesta finalitat, des de l'any 2001 l'SMC, l'Agència Catalana de l'Aigua (ACA) i el Centre de Recerca Aplicada en Hidrometeorologia (CRAHI) de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya treballen de manera conjunta per tal de desenvolupar una sèrie de productes que facilitin les tasques de predicció de pluges fortes i les consegüents avingudes hidrològiques a partir d'eines i productes automàtics. En aquest document es presenten les dues xarxes de l'SMC, les correccions que es fan a cada una d'elles, la combinació de les mateixes en un producte únic, i, per acabar, l'ús de la combinació com a eina de predicció. 2013-12-10T11:18:32Z Radar-based rainfall nowcasting at European scale: long-term evaluation and performance assessment http://hdl.handle.net/2117/20372 Title: Radar-based rainfall nowcasting at European scale: long-term evaluation and performance assessment Authors: Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel Abstract: This work studies the performance of CRAHI's algorithm for rainfall nowcasting at European scale using the mosaics produced within the EUMETNET project OPERA (with a resolution of 4 km and 15 minutes) in the framework of the European Civil Protection research project HAREN (www.haren-project.eu). Systematic evaluation has been carried out since June 2012, focusing on the space-time variability of the nowcasting skills, and its dependence on the scale of the forecasted precipitation systems and on rainfall intensities. Also, the probabilistic nowcasting technique SBMcast (Berenguer et al. 2011) has been adapted to the use of OPERA mosaics at European scale to assess the uncertainty in the produced nowcasts. The performance of this probabilistic technique has been evaluated over a number of cases. Finally, the work analyzes the usefulness of these nowcasts for hazard assessment at European scale, based on exceeding the regional rainfall thresholds used by the EUMETNET project METEOALARM. 2013-10-14T15:30:34Z Reconstruction of radar reflectivity in clutter areas http://hdl.handle.net/2117/20346 Title: Reconstruction of radar reflectivity in clutter areas Authors: Park, Shinju; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc Abstract: The production of Radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) requires processing the observations to ensure their quality and its conversion into the variable of interest (e.g., precipitation rates). Some of the steps involve the reconstruction of the meteorological signal in areas where the signal is lost (e.g. due to total beam blockage or severe path attenuation by heavy rain) or strongly contaminated, for instance, in areas affected by ground or sea clutter. In the latter case, the meteorological signal is often reconstructed through the analysis of the Doppler spectrum. Alternatively, for uncorrected moment data, the reconstruction is done first by identifying clutter-affected areas based on the analysis of statistical properties of radar measurements, and then the reconstruction of the meteorological signal is performed either by horizontal interpolation, by extrapolation of non-contaminated PPIs aloft or a combination of the two, as proposed by Sánchez-Diezma et al. (2001) by adapting the reconstruction to the type of precipitation affecting clutter-contaminated areas. Here, an alternative reconstruction method is proposed here using the space and time structure of the field. The developed method has been implemented to reflectivity fields under different rainfall situations (scattered convection, organized convection, and widespread precipitation –see Section 2). For the evaluation of the method, several formulations of the reconstruction method (presented in Section 3) have been implemented and compared between radar estimates and raingauge observations (Section 4). 2013-10-09T10:45:56Z Blending of radar and gauge rainfall measurements: a preliminary analysis of the impact of radar errors http://hdl.handle.net/2117/19180 Title: Blending of radar and gauge rainfall measurements: a preliminary analysis of the impact of radar errors Authors: Sempere Torres, Daniel; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Velasco Forero, Carlos Alfonso Abstract: Several methodologies have been proposed to combine radar and raingauge measurements with the aim of generating improved quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs). These methods are based on interpolating point raingauge measurements (implicitly assumed to be "the truth") and benefiting from the structure of the rainfall field as depicted by the radar. The use of a non-parametric approach based on radar measurements has been recently demonstrated, showing the benefits in the interpolation of raingauge measurements under the hypotheses of the Kriging approach. Several experiments have been carried out over a large number of cases and a variety of regions, Kriging with an external drift (i.e. the radar description of the rainfall field) being the approach showing more robust and (overall) better performance. Here, the impact of the discrepancies between two almost-collocated radars on the blended QPE fields was investigated. 2013-05-13T13:09:06Z Ensemble radar precipitation estimation for nowcasting and hydrology in the Alps http://hdl.handle.net/2117/18644 Title: Ensemble radar precipitation estimation for nowcasting and hydrology in the Alps Authors: Germann, Urs; Hering, Alessandro; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel; Salvadè, Georges Abstract: This paper explores the novel idea of generating ensables of radar precipitation estimates. 2013-04-05T11:35:36Z Predictability assessment of nowcasts in high-impact heavy precipitation events http://hdl.handle.net/2117/16962 Title: Predictability assessment of nowcasts in high-impact heavy precipitation events Authors: Bech, Joan; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc 2012-11-19T18:55:18Z Flow structure and resistance in flexible vegetated channels http://hdl.handle.net/2117/15630 Title: Flow structure and resistance in flexible vegetated channels Authors: Velasco Montes, David; Bateman Pinzón, Allen; Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel Abstract: The present paper helps to understand the behaviour of the flow through plants, as a first approximation to the environmental interactions happening in natural rivers. 2012-03-21T10:34:48Z A variational approach to retrieve 3D radar reflectivity composites http://hdl.handle.net/2117/13456 Title: A variational approach to retrieve 3D radar reflectivity composites Authors: Roca Sancho, Jordi; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel Abstract: This study proposes an alternative methodology to obtain high-resolution radar reflectivity composites based on a variational approach considering different error sources in an explicit manner. The methodology retrieves the 3-dimensional precipitation field most compatible with the observations from the different radars of the network. With this aim, the methodology uses a model that simulates the radar sampling of the atmosphere. The model settings are different for each radar and include features such as the radar location, hardware parameters (beam width, pulse length…) and the scan strategy. The methodology follows the concept of an inverse method based on the minimization of a cost function that penalizes discrepancies between the simulated and actual observations for each radar. The simulation model is able to reproduce the effect of beam broadening with the distance and attenuation by intense precipitation. The methodology has been applied on two radars close to Barcelona (Spain). 2011-10-07T12:07:28Z A radar-based flash flood forecasting for the Llobregat river basin in the Catalonia region (Spain) http://hdl.handle.net/2117/13455 Title: A radar-based flash flood forecasting for the Llobregat river basin in the Catalonia region (Spain) Authors: Quintero Duque, Felipe; Versini, Pierre Antonie; Baltas, Evangelos; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel Abstract: In this research paper, a flash flood modeling system implemented in a Mediterranean river basin is presented. Radar precipitation estimation along with hydrological modeling techniques are implemented within the system for simulating the runoff generation and routing processes occurring in the catchment. However, there exists an uncertainty related with the estimation of radar precipitation (Zawadzki, 1984) and from model calibration (Beven, 2006). Such uncertainty is propagated to the resulting discharge simulations. The aim of this research paper is to propose a methodology to analyze the propagation of uncertainty occurring at the different processes of the modeling system. For this purpose, a Monte Carlo simulation approach is used to consider the uncertainty arising from rainfall and model parameter estimation. 2011-10-07T11:52:20Z A methodology for attenuation correction based on the minimization of a cost function http://hdl.handle.net/2117/11046 Title: A methodology for attenuation correction based on the minimization of a cost function Authors: Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Lee, G.; Sempere Torres, Daniel; Zawadzki, Isztar 2011-01-14T18:32:05Z

Tsonga out of Wimbledon with knee injury
More News from Agence France-Presse
LONDON — French sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was forced to retire from his Wimbledon second round match against Latvia's Ernests Gulbis with a knee injury.
The 28-year-old Tsonga, a semi-finalist in 2012, needed a medical time-out to have his left knee taped just after he had dropped the second set, 6-3.
Tsonga had won the first set, 6-3.
But when he dropped the third set 6-3, he gave up.
The French star was the seventh player to see his Wimbledon campaign ended by injury on Wednesday.
World number two Victoria Azarenka, Steve Darcis, who put out Rafael Nadal in the first round, and Marin Cilic all withdrew.
John Isner and Radek Stepanek both quit during their second round matches.
Just moments before Tsonga's retirement, Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova withdrew from her second round clash against 2011 champion Petra Kvitova, the eighth seed, with a right arm injury.

Can only get 640x480 on my GeForce 6100...
Hi there,
lspci tells me I've got a GeForce 6100 on my MB, but I can't get it to work with my Samsung 204B LCD at resolutions other than 640x480 using the "nvidia" driver. Using either the "vesa" driver it works at 1600x1200.
I suspect this is the root of the problem - an excerpt from Xorg.0.log:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6100 at PCI:0:5:0

(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 640 x 480
But I have no idea how to improve upon that. Using the "vesa" driver, it works at 1600x1200 but the screen updates slowly when e.g. dragging windows, and I can't get the screen saver to turn the monitor off.
Why is it that "vesa" can figure out to use 1600x1200, but "nvidia" can't? All I did to get vesa was change the driver from "nvidia" to "vesa" and remove Load "glx"
I've put as many relevant files as I can think of here:
I'm running on debian etch as e.g. nvidia-bug-report.log in the above location will confirm.
What to do now? What is the next step?
Re: Can only get 640x480 on my GeForce 6100...
Please start X with the following command:s
tartx -- -logverbose 6
and then generate and attach an nvidia-bug-report.log

I think I added a zip file with the logverbose 6 nvidia-bug-report.log, but I also added
Re: Can only get 640x480 on my GeForce 6100...
Here's the problem:
(--) NVIDIA(0): --- EDID for CRT-0 ---
(--) NVIDIA(0): No EDID Available.
No EDID means that the driver falls back to a safe default of 640x480. You'll need to set UseEDID to false, and provide a modeline.

Thanks, netllama!
That lead me in the right direction. I first found a modeline. After -logverbose 6 told me that the HorizSync was illegal, I googled for one of those and found it. Seeing that working, I then discovered that the mouse cursor was missing and found a solution to that, too.

There is a very interesting place called Cangyan Mountain in Hebei Province. Hebei is a province that has in its centre, the city of Beijing. The trip to Cangyan took a few transfers.

More Song Writers and Little Red Riding Hood
... one word: pretend. And next week they get to act it out so I'm excited to see what they will do.
Kindergarten learned 10 in a bed and I got to have the older kids act it out which they loved when 'one fell out' and had to sit on the ground. They really were cute acting it out and we had a great time.
Off to another week at 43....
A class of authors
... kindergarten classes which I have to say it is extremely difficult to keep 4 year olds for an hour and half. But I am getting really good with the primary after school job, Mr Xu, where I taught the 4th graders the story of the gingerbread man work on a worksheet. I do like being able to give the kids worksheets instead of having to talk the full hour and half.
Hole Song
... you should look up the YouTube video because people get really good at saying it at ridiculous speeds. And the kids were amazed by it. I learned it just to be able to amaze them with it and can say that by the end of the week some kids timed me at 3 seconds for the whole thing. 5th grade is going to get to try it next week since this week they had hangman to review the words from the sword and the stone.
Overall a pretty fun week though.

NEW YORK - APRIL 22: Jared Odrick from Penn State holds up a Miami Dolphins jersey after the Dolphins selected Odrick number 28 overall during the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall on April 22, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald suggests that the Dolphins should consider placing DE Jared Odrick on the trading block this offseason. Odrick, the team's first-round pick in 2010, was drafted for the team's previous 3-4 defense system, but since then they've changed to a 4-3 base defense. At 300 plus pounds, he's hardly an ideal fit to 4-3 defensive end. Pro Football Focus rated him as the third-worst 4-3 defensive end last year, just to put things in perspective. Salguero mentions that shopping Odrick around the league now should be something that the Dolphins consider given that he has enough value to garner interest from other 3-4 teams and possibly net them a second or third-round pick. It's obviously impossible to say whether or not any team would be willing to part with that high of a draft pick for the former first-rounder, but 3-4 teams generally are willing to make decent investments in guys who are solid fits for their scheme. We'll have to see what the Dolphins plans are Odrick this offseason as it's pretty clear that he's no longer a good fit for them.

Take a tour of a workflow that optimizes CSS code for easier navigation, organization, and readability. In this course, author Justin Seeley covers best practices for writing CSS in an easy-to-read format, commenting code, developing a table of contents, and adopting other methods that help produce "cleaner" code. The course also contains tips for speeding up development with some online tools and simplification techniques.
One of the best ways to speed up your CSS code is to do something called minifying the CSS. And so minifying is actually a process where you take the CSS that you've written, and you put it in to some sort of minification or compression engine and then the CSS is thus compressed all the unnecessary line breaks and comments and things like that are stripped out, and it just becomes this big block of matrix-esque looking code. And in a recent survey of top US websites, CSS minification actually achieved about a 21% size reduction on the CSS files that where rendered through minification, and this can allow for your website to load up to about 85% faster.
So that's pretty crazy, and you can also save load times for your pages and decrease bandwidth usage for your users. Now should be noted here that minification should only be performed once your website is ready to quote unquote go live or go to production, because you do not want to try to edit a minified CSS document, and it should also be noted that you should save a local version of the unminified CSS that you can easily edit the CSS and minify it again later. So, once you have your CSS document written out, I've got a long CSS document here for you.
It's the Bootstrap CSS from Twitter's Bootstrap platform, which you can see more about in our course here on lynda.com called Up and Running with Bootstrap. You can watch all about this, but take a look at how long this document is. It is actually over 6,000 lines of CSS. And so what I want to do is I want to take this, and I want to compress it. So I'm going to select it All and copy it to my clipboard. Now, there are a couple of different tools to do this online. Two of my favorites are CSS minifier and CSS compressor. And so I'm going to show you CSS compressor first, I like this one the best because it gives me statistics afterwards telling me how much it minified it and how much it took out of the CSS.
You have different compression modes here, low, standard, high, and highest. I mean, so if we do high that should be Okay. You also have the option to compress colors, what that's going to do is change the colors from say RGB over to a HEX code it's also going to compress the font-weights from, different weights down to just bold or bolder, something like that. So I'm going to exclude that for now. Also I may have done some special colors in here, so I don't want to compress colors. I do want to remove unnecessary back slashes and semicolons and then we'll just go ahead and paste in the CSS. And so you paste in all of your CSS, and then you hit Compress.
And once it does its thing, it's going to give you a report here to tell you different things that it found that may or may not be okay in your CSS and then afterwards you see your compressed CSS and look how tight this is and how hard that would be to read, that's like I said, it's like Neo in the Matrix. And so compression ratio here, you've compressed it by about 30.4%, and you've taken out 37,749 Bytes. And so you can select all of that, and you can copy that and then paste it back in to your code and then make that the live code on your website if you choose.
The great part about this is, is that there are tools out there that do this for you. The bad part about it is chances are your going to inevitably save over your original CSS document, and that's going to be just a really big pain, so always make sure that you save a copy first somewhere else and then do the CSS mininification and only do minification when you are ready to take the site live, and you're ready for it to just be a production powerhouse. You don't want this to be anything that you want to edit, because as you can see, it would be very hard to read any of this compressed CSS.
But again, this is going to take off anywhere from about 20 to 30% off the size of your CSS document, it's going to save load time, it's going to save bandwidth for your user, and it's going to make your website just scream fast.

'Star Wars' spin-off movies in the works, confirms Disney
Disney's developing films 'derived from 'Star Wars' characters that aren't part of the overall saga'Buy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Disney is working on several spin-off movies in addition to its new trilogy of Star Wars films.
US sci-fi website AICN recently reported that plans are underway to make several "stand-alone" Star Wars movies, with the first one apparently set to focus on classic character Yoda. Now Disney CEO Bob Iger has broadly confirmed these plans.
He told CNBC: "There has been speculation about some stand-alone films that have been in development and I can confirm to you today that in fact we are working on a few stand-alone films... We still plan to make Star Wars 7, 8, 9 roughly over a six-year period of time starting in 2015 but there are going to be a few other films released in that period too."
Iger also revealed that screenwriters Lawrence Kasdan, who co-wrote two of the original Star Wars movies, and Simon Kinberg, best known for his involvement in the X-Men franchise, are involved with the spin-off projects. "[They're] both working on films derived from Star Wars characters that are not part of the overall saga," Iger said.
Meanwhile, JJ Abrams has recently been confirmed as director of Star Wars: Episode VII. Disney has slated the film for release in 2015 and hired Toy Story 3 writer Michael Arndt to pen the script.

Then you do not understand how pumping over 7 Trillion dollars makes for a false economy. Hyper-inflation is coming. The DOW being at over 16,000 is indicative of that.
Prices are not going up. Our dollar is becoming worthless.
"- Benghazi non-issue being brought up again; yup, economy and Obamacare are doing well."
I would argue that Benghazi is an issue because of State Department gross negligence.
The economy is not doing well. It is doing marginally better by coming up to the level it was at at the beginning of the current recession.
No one should accept any money that isn't 24K gold. St Rand got that one right. Nothing else has any value.
The oxygen is getting low in your bubble… you are writing incoherent statements…
Who cares about Benghazi? The have been kicking this dead horse for over a year simply because they want to discredit Hillary before the election. The same reason they have voted on ACA fifty or more times. It covers up their total lack of work on real issues like infrastructure, income inequality, immigration, education, etc. etc.
More over the top right wing hysteria.
More like 13
demonize the other guy and deny everything, the Clinton and Obama way.
nothing, they know nothing……
4 dead, "but what difference does it make" "Like dude iy was like 2 years ago" and Obama won, the next guy or gal does not have to run against Mitt. ya, you left wing loons who are still chanting hope and change, you might be right, big deal, we were only lied to how many times? by how many politicians who touted the party protection line?
No one mentions the House cut spending $243 million on security for CIA houses and Embassy's the year before. Think there have been 5 investigations, all say nothing there.
"Hyper-inflation is here the culprits responsible for the over inflated commodities"
Commodities traders don't care what the price of a commodity is. They only care if the market is moving. They care about which side they're on, buy or sell when the market moves. They can make money either way.
Oh no there were other attacks. But did Reagan just go to bed? Did Reagan have a moderator lie for him? Did Reagan throw a guy into jail for shooting a movie?
Oh that right GM Unions alive and Ben La Din Dead, Al qua da on the run right? and the hype and propaganda was it was all Obama.
Mitt why he is stuck in the 80s with his geopolitical Russian threat.
Why I bet Mitt would not have allowed him self to be pulled off the golf course, put a suit jacket on to sit in a room with the big boys, get a picture taken of "getting that ben guy, then play some cards with the help. Why Mitt might have done something to protect our assets on 9 11 12. 9 11? what does that have to do with anything? Obama has a fund raiser in the morning. Can not let Mitt out spend him. hope change hope change.. can not let Mitt win can we, why then who ever is the D in 2016 will have to run against him.
Oh no, another 9 11 anniversary coming up, must talk about the evils of capitalism, turning a profit, evil rich guys who are running the country and the world. how they want to crash the USA to profit themselves. 9 11 "like dude that was like 2 years ago" why would we care about 4 dead.. like the evil rich just kill economies and kittens..
ya man who cares about that ben gaz guy. It only took two years and court orders to find the emails Obama said were turned over. Obama told us there is nothing there over a year ago and like wow, we finally have the emails without black lines. And oh my, they do have Benghazi written all over them. Everyone but NBC is talking about it. To bad NBC does not want to talk bad about the brothers.
Having seen the movie several times that Lester picked to make his point I must say that his either totally missed the point of that scene or hasn't ever actually watched the movie.
Next up, loony liberals making a demon out of former prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy.

Golf: Tiger tees off near home but thinking of Masters
Published on Feb 27, 2014 6:06 AM
PALM BEACH GARDENS, United States (AFP) - World number one Tiger Woods makes his third start of the year on Thursday at the US PGA Tour Honda Classic near his home but his thoughts are already on the Masters.
Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the record 18 major wins of Jack Nicklaus, will be tested by an all-star lineup in the US$6 million (S$7.6 million) event at PGA National.
Reigning Masters champion Adam Scott of Australia, reigning British Opwn champion Phil Mickelson and Northern Ireland stars Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell are also in the field at the first of four consecutive Florida stops on the US tour ahead of the year's first major, the Masters, in early April at Augusta National.
"Once we get to Florida, we're all thinking about it, on our way to Augusta," Woods said.

UCI reinstate doctor who leaked Armstrong documents
LONDON (Reuters) – Cycling's ruling body (UCI) has
reinstated the doctor who last year supplied a journalist with
documents signed by Lance Armstrong at the 1999 Tour de France
that were used to accuse the American rider of doping.
Mario Zorzoli, a manager at the International Cycling
Union's medical service, was suspended at the end of February
after admitting he had unwittingly given the doping control
forms to a journalist from the French sports daily L'Equipe.
"It was a UCI decision to bring him back because we felt it
was the right thing to do," the governing body's president Pat
Mcquaid told Reuters by telephone on Tuesday.
"We've received a lot of letters from people and
institutions involved at various levels who did not want Dr
Zorzoli to become a scapegoat because they know he is valued by
the UCI.
"We've had letters from several cycling teams and riders,
including Lance Armstrong, who supported his return."
In August L'Equipe, saying it had access to laboratory
documents, reported that six of Armstrong's urine samples
collected on the 1999 Tour showed "indisputable" traces of the
illegal blood-booster erythropoietin (EPO).
Armstrong, who retired last year after winning a record
seventh Tour, has denied ever taking performance-enhancing
drugs. In October, the UCI appointed a Dutch lawyer to
investigate the allegations.
The UCI said at the time the L'equipe article appeared in
August 2005 that, with Armstrong's permission, the journalist
had only been given a copy of one doping control form.
However, after being shown copies of 15 forms signed by
Armstrong, the UCI launched an internal investigation.
Zorzoli said he must have provided all the forms but only
so the journalist could write an article "proving that Mr.
Armstrong never asked for an authorization to use any drugs
after he successfully fought his cancer."
Armstrong overcame testicular cancer to become the most
successful rider in the Tour's history.

Lawmakers pass sweeping RI pension system overhaul
PROVIDENCE, R.I. Despite jeers and the threat of a union lawsuit, Rhode Island lawmakers on Thursday approved sweeping changes to one of the nation's most underfunded public pension systems.
The state's heavily Democratic General Assembly defied its traditional union allies to pass the landmark changes. The legislation is designed to save billions of dollars by backing away from promises to state and municipal workers that lawmakers say the state can no longer afford.
Lawmakers said Thursday's vote was one of the most wrenching they've had to cast, though the fight might not be over if unions follow through with promised lawsuits.
"It would certainly be a lot easier to walk away from this reform," said Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed, D-Newport. "However, it is clear that doing nothing only puts our retirees' and our active members' benefits at greater risk. We owe it to them, as well as to all other taxpayers, to attack this challenge head on."
Gov. Lincoln Chafee, an independent and one of the bill's original authors, said he will sign the bill.
Public workers said they felt betrayed and some interrupted Thursday's debate with jeers.
"They should be ashamed of themselves," said Dean Brockway, a Cranston firefighter with 28 years on the job. "These were Democrats voting to do this. They're trying to solve a 40-year-old problem in one day. They didn't have to do this."
The landmark legislation could have big implications around the nation. Nearly every state is confronting the same problem, caused by escalating pension costs, huge investment losses and recession-induced budget deficits. The Pew Center on the States released a report earlier this year that found that states face a collective gap of $1.26 trillion between what they've promised public workers and what they've set aside to meet those promises.
Rhode Island needs $7 billion to fully fund the pension fund that covers state workers and many municipal employees - roughly the same amount as the state's entire annual budget. Under the current system, the state must pour more and more into the pension system annually, from $319 million in 2011 to $765 million in 2015 and $1.3 billion in 2028.
The pension system covers 66,000 active and retired public teachers, state employees, judges and police and firefighters. Fifty-eight percent of retired teachers and 48 percent of retired state workers receive more money in their pensions than they did in their final years of work. Their benefits are set by state law and not collective bargaining.
The legislation passed Thursday would suspend automatic, annual pension increases for retirees for five years and then award them only if pension investments perform well. The bill also raises retirement ages for many workers and creates a benefit plan that mixes pensions with 401(k)-style accounts. The changes wouldn't apply to municipal pension plans, which are typically the result of collective bargaining.
The measure is projected to reduce the state's unfunded pension liability by $3 billion immediately and save taxpayers $4 billion over 25 years.
Passage of the bill is a political victory for legislative leaders, Chafee and Treasurer Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who was the main architect of the legislation. For months, Chafee and Raimondo warned that unless the state reined in pension costs, lawmakers would have to raise taxes and slash funds for education and other services.

Just when most churches have made criminal background screening standard to avoid harm to children, the elderly, and other vulnerable persons and liability, the federal government has issued guidance reminding employers that, unless criminal screening policies are carefully designed and implemented properly, the policies themselves can confer liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII).
On April 25, 2012, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released Enforcement Guidance on the use of criminal histories when making employment decisions. Much of the Guidance summarizes existing law per-taining to an employer's use of an applicant's criminal history. The primary departure or elaboration on precedent in the Guidance is that the EEOC now strongly recommends that employers make an "individualized assessment" before taking adverse action based on an applicant's or employee's criminal history.

The Heavy Holy Grail of Colt Revolvers- The rare Colt Walker Model 1847 is a 6-shot, single-action revolver weighing in at 4-1/2 lb & measuring a 1-1/2' in length. It was the weighty brainchild of Samuel Colt & Samuel Walker. Walker met with Colt in the 1840s to propose improvements to the Colt Paterson revolver...the result was the Colt Walker. Fewer than 10% of the 1,100 are known to exist today. Due to their rarity, these guns are the Holy Grail of Colt revolver collecting. NRA Museums.

Obiena tabs pole vault silver medal
SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD Ernest John Obiena fortified his chances of making the national team when he salvaged a silver medal in the recent 2012 Taiwan International Indoor pole vault championships.
A second generation athlete who is the son of former national team member Emerson Obiena, he cleared the bar at 4.41 meters to place second in the 11-man junior contest ruled by Malaysia's Mohd Mehamed who jumped 4.61m.
His performance boosted the Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association's developmental pool, which is already being primed up for next year's Southeast Asian Games in Myanmar.
It also ended the Filipino tracksters' medal drought this year after four international tournaments.
Filipino Jerome Margallo posted 4.56m for fifth place in men's category. Women's entry Riezel Buenaventura also placed fifth in her division with a 3.66m effort.
The elder Obiena served as their coach.
"These are very young kids with very good potential, we are just starting to give them exposure so they will be ready in the next few years," said Patafa president Go Teng Kok.
