The whitepaper outlines how an interactive television-based strategy can form the foundation for cost-effective patient engagement without:
"It's important to remember that patient engagement can effectively utilize existing technology to achieve many of its aims," Kolbeck explains. "Often just making something good a bit better can help us achieve our goals. We don't always need to replace what's working with something new. The use of interactive TV to encourage patient engagement and participation is a perfect example."

Science Publishers Set Aside Funds for Archiving Electronic Journals
Archivists and historians as well as scientists have been concerned about the permanent preservation of electronic publications since the new medium first appeared on the horizon. Typical of current responses are those of the American Institute of Physics and its Member Societies; mostly they have established groups to study the issue and are beginning to draft solutions. Of particular note is a framework for archiving electronic journals created by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). At its December 1996 meeting the AGU Council adopted plans to create a trust fund for maintaining and upgrading its electronic journals in perpetuity, and authorized a budget that sets aside a fixed amount for the fund based on each journal page published.
Other journal publishers are also studying the problem and beginning to take similar steps. For example, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) has set up a special account, funded from subscription revenue, to enable the migration of the Astrophysical Journal to a new technology and to new markup standards every five years as necessary. The Astronomical Journal will be treated similarly when it goes online. Making and saving links has turned out to be a particularly important part of the process, according to Peter Boyce of the AAS. "Publishers have to prepare their material so that it can be archived," Boyce says, "and until a scheme becomes universally adopted, the publishers, if they are responsible toward their field, have to take on the burden of making the electronic journals available for the indefinite future."
Besides creating the trust fund, AGU has made plans to permanently preserve and update each issue of its new all-electronic journal, Earth Interactions (published jointly with the American Meteorological Society and the Association of American Geographers). The publishers will add index terms to the original articles over time, referring readers to subsequent articles in new issues.
For more information on the AGU´s program, contact Judy Holoviak at the American Geophysical Union, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, phone 202 462-6900 ext. 217. For additional information on electronic archiving as a whole, readers should look at Preserving Digital Information, Report of the Task Force on Archiving of Digital Information, which was issued in May 1996 by the Research Libraries Group and is available on their web site at http://www.rlg.org/ArchTF/.
Below are excerpts from the resolution that the AGU Council adopted at its December meeting.
PERPETUAL CARE TRUST FUND FOR AGU´S ELECTRONIC ARCHIVE: "AGU recognizes that it has a responsibility to the scientific community to assure that its publications are available in the future. Without the careful protection and upgrading of the files developed for AGU´s electronic publications, there could be a hiatus in the archive of the body of knowledge. The costs associated with the maintenance of the electronic archive will be a continuing obligation of the Union...
"To assure that AGU has the financial resources to maintain an archive of the material included in its electronic publications, to refresh these files on a regular basis, and to migrate the material in the archive to new formats ad media as the technology for electronic publishing changes, a trust fund for perpetual care will be established. The principal for this trust fund will come from revenues generated by page charges and special service fees.... The principal of the fund will be protected so that it can continue to create income needed in the future. It is expected that only the income from the fund will be used to cover the expenses of maintaining and migrating the archive. The creation of the electronic publication files is considered to be part of the ongoing activities of the Union, and these expenses are to be covered by current operating income.
"The income generated by this trust fund will be allowed to accumulate in such a way that more than one year´s income can be called upon for the major expense of a migration to a new format. Initially, little income will be taken from the trust fund because the archive will be small and only the expense of storage and refreshing the files will be incurred. It is considered important to build the fund during this period so that there is sufficient wherewithal to protect and migrate the archive."

Yes, there is some balance, but warrior has burst skills remember? As I remember, even counting all that warrior has lots of weapons skills, engineer and elementalist have lots of weapon skills after taking into consideration the attunement and kits, and thief still has less variety. Mind you, that's fine imo because theif should be spending more time learning to move and shutdown, and less time learning to use weapon bars.
Seems to be that regardless of how many weapon skills each profession have, they all have pretty good options for dps AoE and single, for control, for shutdown, for support, etc. The main lacks I can see is that professions tend to either focus on support (guardian, ele, engineer) or shutdown (thief, mesmer). Or I might be wrong on that one.

Attempts by a group of Andhra Pradesh MPs, including six from the Congress, to move a no- confidence motion against the government for pushing for the proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, came to a nought on Wednesday with the Lok Sabha adjourning sine die two days ahead of schedule.
Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar did not put the motion for admission on the ground that the House was not in order. Barring the passage of the Lokpal Bill amid disturbances, the winter session, which began on December 5, was a washout.
The government was seriously concerned at the move, particularly since six Congress MPs were part of the move. According to the Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj, for the first time members of the ruling party had attempted to table a no-confidence motion against its own government.
Though there was absolutely no chance of the motion getting carried by the House, the ruling combine did not want it to come up even to the stage of consideration. A minimum of a tenth of the members have to back a no-confidence motion for it to be commended and considered by the House.
At one stage, it looked as if the motion could be put to vote at the admission stage as the 22-member Samajwadi Party, piqued by the determination of the government to push through the Lokpal Bill, backed the move. Fourteen MPs of the Biju Janata Dal too pledged their support.
To add to the UPA's woes, BJP president Rajnath Singh issued a statement on December 13, blaming the Congress for messing up the whole bifurcation issue. This statement came as a surprise to political observers as the principal opposition had all along insisted that the bill on bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh should be passed in the winter session. "From day one, they have adopted short sighted political approach towards this emotive, sensitive and serious issue. The Congress has treated this issue as its internal matter," Mr. Singh had said, holding the Congress responsible for the "present chaos in the State."
The BJP, he said, was firmly committed to the creation of Telangana and was equally committed to safeguarding the concerns and problems of the people of Seemandhra. "It is the duty of the Centre to address the genuine concerns, misgivings of Seemandhra people and safeguard the interests of the region while creating the new state of Telangana."
Meanwhile, the YSR Congress took exception to the adjournment of the Lok Sabha sine die without "burning issues" being brought up. "We have given an adjournment motion on the undemocratic division of the Andhra Pradesh and a no-confidence motion against the UPA government. While the Speaker rejected the former, we have asked her to take up the second motion after the Lokpal Bill. But the house was adjourned sine die after the Bill was passed," YSR Congress leaders M.V. Mysoora Reddy, S.P.Y. Reddy and Mekapati Rajmohan Reddy told reporters here on Wednesday.
The proposed adjournment motion, the YSR Congress said Article 3 of the Constitution was "misused" and Andhra Pradesh was being divided without an Assembly resolution. A committee for the division too had not been established, it added.

Three Ways the Islamic State Is Turning Things Upside Down
- By Peter D. FeaverPeter D. Feaver is a professor of political science and public policy and Bass Fellow at Duke University, and director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies and the Duke Program in American Grand Strategy. He is coeditor of Shadow Government.
Reading the voluminous news and commentary on the Islamic State (IS), I was struck by how the rapidly unfolding events seem to be disrupting many familiar patterns.
Let me note just three.
First, usually administrations figure out what they intend to do about a threat and then calibrate their messaging and description of that threat accordingly. Yes, they first do an even more preliminary step in private: assess the threat to decide what they should do. But once they have decided what to do, the public messaging usually is proportional to the action undertaken. If they are determined to confront the threat with all means necessary, they might call it a "grave threat to peace." If they are not going to take military action against it, they might dismiss the threat as the "jayvee" team. In the latter case, critics of the administration might challenge that assessment and describe the threat in more alarming terms, with the administration pushing back to defend a rhetorical line closer to the actions the administration is willing to undertake. What is more rare is what we are witnessing right now: The most alarming rhetoric about the threat posed by IS is from senior members of the administration itself, beginning with President Obama, yet this is a president (and therefore an administration) that has also repeatedly set very sharp limits about what action it will take. The gap between the administration's description of the threat and its response to the threat was already wide, but seems to be growing by the day.
The gap problem is compounded by a lack of clarity over objectives. Is the goal to "halt" and "contain" IS's advances in Iraq? Is it to "degrade" IS's strength? Is it to "defeat" IS? Or is it to "destroy" it? The administration has referenced all of those goals at one point or other and they mean very different things to the military. Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made clear that the more demanding task of "defeat" would require attacking IS's Syria sanctuaries. That objective would certainly be proportional to the threat the administration says IS poses, but that is a far more demanding military task than Obama has been willing to embrace until now and so far there is little indication the president himself is willing right now to commit the country to that task. But if President Obama is indeed committed to more modest steps, why does the administration keep describing the threat in apocalyptic terms, and why does it keep describing more ambitious objectives?
Second, it is striking that both one of President Obama's most consistent supporters and one of his most consistent critics are praising President Obama's tactical moves in confronting IS. Within inches of each other in today's newspaper, two of the highest-quality columnists in the business, yet with very different track records of support/critique of the president, David Ignatius and Charles Krauthammer, praised President Obama for withholding military action against IS until now-former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki stepped down. That was certainly President Obama's intention, and he stuck with it for months — much longer than I thought wise. But as I read the chronology, the president did not stick to that conditionality until the Iraqis met the terms. Instead, Obama acted before Maliki stepped down. Yes, he acted even more forcefully afterwards, but the initial airstrikes came before it was clear Maliki would step down. This is not a trivial quibble since it goes to the heart of what catalyzed what: Did American action catalyze Iraqi action or vice versa? How is it that two of my favorite columnists — two of the very best — could miss this?
Third, the mainstream press is now starting to make a bigger deal about the White House's awkward management of choreography and optics, this time the juxtaposition of his emotional remarks about the gruesome beheading and yet another round of golf. When even the New York Times is writing about it, perhaps it is time for the White House staff to rejigger the schedule so there is more distance in the president's schedule between the national security events and the social events.
Of course, IS's disruptions on the geopolitical stage are far more important, but the topsy-turvy in Washington is worth noting, too.

ICFs emerge as building blocks of sustainable construction
Insulating concrete forms are the foundation of an energy-efficient Craftsman-style beauty
To learn more
For a copy of the HUD report, go to huduser.org/portal/publications/destech/icfbenefits.html
Additional information can be found at the Insulating Concrete Foam Association website, foam.org and at NAHB Research Center's ToolBase.org
The two-story house under construction in a quiet Encinitas neighborhood is turning a lot of heads.
And it's not because of its size or design. Once completed, the 4,000-square-foot Craftsman-style home with a big front porch will blend in with the other houses on the street. What's unusual is that the home is being built with big blocks of plastic foam, which makes the structure rising up from the ground look more like a giant ice chest than a house.
The blocks, called insulating concrete forms, or ICFs, consist of two 21/2-inch-thick pieces of polystyrene foam (think Styrofoam coffee cups) held together with strong plastic ties. The foam blocks are stacked, kind of like Legos, and the space between the two pieces of foam is then filled with rebar and concrete.
The result is a hermetically sealed house that is extremely noise- and energy-efficient, said Tyler Buffett, who designed the home.
"There's very little transfer of heat through the walls. The windows become the weak spots," said David Livingston, of Livingston Construction, the site's general contractor. Livingston, who has been building with ICF for 11 years, owns his own ICF-constructed house in Escondido. He said he rarely has the need to turn on the air conditioner.
"It's a giant cooler that looks a lot better," Livingston said.
Energy efficiency continues with the roofing material — a light-reflective metal that reduces heat absorption. A whole-house fan will cool the house when needed, said Buffett, who owns Buffet Design in Encinitas, which specializes in sustainable housing. Hydronic radiant floor heating will provide warmth.
Other sustainable features include solar panels, infiltration basins to contain all runoff and a small cistern to catch rainwater for irrigation.
But for the homeowners, who do not wish to be identified, the choice in material was also practical as well as environmental. The material is very low-maintenance and, unlike wood, will not rot or attract moisture, mold or termites.
To keep moisture from accumulating in the house, only the windows and doors are framed with wood. Polished concete floors and steel constructed interior walls also eliminate wood inside. One of the few things that will be wood are the kitchen cabinets, Buffett said.
"The indoor air quality will be great," he said. "There's no mold to accumulate."
Plans call for three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a guest casita, as well as a full basement for storage and mechanical equipment. It will take approximately 780 blocks to build the three floors, which includes the basement, Livingston said.
Construction cost is about 5 percent more than a traditional wood-framed house, he said, but that cost is quickly recuperated through lower energy bills.
"People looking for this are conscientious and are looking for a better way to build," Livingston said.
The foam blocks are also recyclable once they are separated from the cement.

From what I've seen, the odds are pretty long that someone in MD (environmentalists, the rich guy on shore, the guy with the ski boat, the guy that crabs the creek you chose for your mooring, etc.) would take offense with your placement and you'd have to prove you met all those rather nebulous parameters. There is also the issue of how you get to your boat. You'll have to launch your dingy somewhere and that's going to be over private property and may prove impossible in many suitable moorage areas.
If the DNR published a map highlighting areas that met the requirements, you'd likely see a lot more people avail themselves of this possibility. I likely would as it could cut my ownership costs by more than 1/2 if the logistics were reasonable.

Marabu and Siru Kye Neetti
M.A. Rahman; published by Ilampirai Pathippakam, 14/23 Wahab Street, G3 Mohsin Regency, Choolaimedu High Road, Chennai 600 094; Prices Rs.90.00 and Rs.100.00 respectively.
Marabu is a collection of 30 stories in Tamil, all allegories. Allegory is defined as a narrative description of a subject in the guise of another having points with symbolic representation. As mentioned in the introduction, such writings are not popular in Tamil. The introduction is followed by stories by the Marathi writer V.S. Khandekar, Khalil Gibran, and stories from Aesop's Fables and the Bible.
The title, 'Marabu', points to a competition between the river Ganga and the sea — pure water and the salt sea water — where the Ganga is unwilling to mix with the brackish water. The dispute is taken to God, who informs Ganga that her water is mixed with the sea and again pure water is brought to the river through dark clouds, which is the marabu or tradition.
In another story, the cuckoo raises her sweet voice, being superior to the crow, but when the crow hatches her eggs, it becomes superior. Another story informs that the plant with paddy bows down and the one with chaff, the false plant, stands erect.
A library owner is proud of his collection of books but the red ants claim that they have read most of the books. The banyan tree's branches feel they are great but forget that the tree was born out of a tiny seed. A priest in search of pleasure is told by a farmer who works in the field that he could give him a tool to dig the soil where he will find his pleasure.
In another story, a spider weaves its web and a fly is caught in it unwittingly, leading the spider to believe that he is more intelligent than the fly. There is also the well-known story of the locust which falls in love with the flame and gets its wings burnt.
The second book, 'Siru Kye Neetti', is a colleciton of six short stories on various subjects. The narration is worthy of admiration. The stories are brief and fast moving. 'Poo' has a tragic ending. The young woman has delivers a baby through Caesarean, and the husband is advised by the doctor not to have another baby for a few years. The husband fails to heed the advice and loses his wife. In the story titled 'Elephant,' the game of chess is brought to life in a family.
The fourth story preaches non-violence between Tamils and Sinhalese. 'Eeman' is a story of Islam during the Mughal period and states that Muslims never commit suicide at any cost and it is against the Islam. The last story, a well narrated one, revolves round a one rupee coin in an orthodox religious family.
Both books have powerful narrations. The books were originally printed and published in Sri Lanka in 1964 and 1998 respectively, and are now being reprinted in Chennai.

Passenger Vehicle Fuel Economy:
Preliminary Observations on Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards
GAO-07-551T: Published: Mar 6, 2007. Publicly Released: Mar 6, 2007.

(202) 512-4800
Concerns over national security, environmental stresses, and economic pressures from increased fuel prices have led to the nation's interest in reducing oil consumption. Efforts to reduce oil consumption will need to include the transportation sector. For example, several Members of Congress have introduced bills proposing changes to the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) program. This program includes mile per gallon standards for light trucks and cars that manufacturers must meet for vehicles sold in this country. This testimony is based on ongoing work for this committee. This testimony describes (1) recent and proposed changes to CAFE standards; (2) observations about the recent changes, the existing CAFE program, and NHTSA's (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) capabilities to further restructure CAFE standards; and (3) initial observations about how the CAFE program fits in the context of other approaches to reduce oil consumption. To address these issues, we reviewed program legislation, rule makings, and operational documents. Also, we interviewed officials from NHTSA, the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, the auto industry, labor unions, and the insurance industry. Finally, we contacted several recognized experts in fuel economy and safety. Our report will be issued in July 2007.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the agency responsible for setting CAFE standards for cars and light trucks--such as sport utility vehicles, minivans and pickup trucks--recently raised CAFE standards for light trucks to reduce oil use and restructured this part of the program to help address safety, among other issues. However, the CAFE standard for cars has changed little over the past 2 decades. In 1975, Congress established CAFE standards for cars rising to 27.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by 1985 but did not allow NHTSA to restructure how car standards are applied. As part of the administration's plan to meet the President's recently stated goal to reduce oil use by 20 percent over the administration's projected levels by 2017, the NHTSA Administrator submitted a plan to Congress that would allow NHTSA to reform the car CAFE program in a manner similar to NHTSA's recent changes to the light truck program. The majority of experts with whom we spoke stated that CAFE standards are an important approach to reducing oil consumption and NHTSA's recent reform of light truck standards addresses previous safety and competitive concerns, among others. However, they also identified some ways to further refine the CAFE program such as considering harmonizing light truck and car standards. Further, NHTSA officials identified ways to improve the agency's capabilities to administer the program. For example, the agency would benefit from some additional expertise on automotive engineering. Finally, several experts observed that the model that NHTSA uses to help set CAFE standards does not fully account for the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. While the CAFE program is an important program in the nation's efforts to reduce oil consumption, other policies and programs exist to help the nation reduce oil consumption in the transportation sector. We will report on how these programs align with the CAFE program in our report to be issued in July 2007. For example, according to experts with whom we spoke, CAFE's effectiveness in reducing oil consumption is hampered by a provision granting manufacturers a 1.2 mpg CAFE credit toward meeting its fuel economy standard for selling flexible fuel vehicles, even though these vehicles are not often run on fuel other than gas.

Absolute Multimedia MORPHEUS GeForce3
What's the big deal?
Why should you choose the Absolute Morpheus GeForce3?
Three reasons.
If you already have two of three of the games, the price difference of going with a stripped down GeForce3 will make sense. What if you want to stock up on a few of the latest and greatest games that really scream and show-off the GeForce3 at the same time you buy a GeForce3? Go Morpheus. The box alone will impress your friends.
The GeForce3 is proving to be much more than just a refresh of old technology. It is a solid bundle of performance, visual quality and future-proof features (at least the near future).
Likewise the Absolute MORPHEUS GeForce3 is proving to be more than just a refresh of the boring box and instruction manual. You will get solid value out of the Absolute bundle. This is the card that I would recommend to a newbie wanting to game like the pros, or at least look like it. I would also recommend this card to anyone waiting for a good excuse to upgrade who does not always put the lowest price at the top of the list.
Another important question you should ask yourself when debating the leap to GeForce3 is "what type of gaming do I do?"
That may seem a bit silly, but if you are still hooked on Half-Life/OpFor, you might get an extra kick from the GeForce3 over the GeForce2, but do you have the monitor to take advantage? If you are still running a 17" monitor, buy a 19" or 21". Then you will be forced to save up your money to buy a GeForce3 because you will finally understand the term "jaggie".
If you like to rip through the latest and greatest games one after another, you owe it to yourself to buy the GeForce3. You will be amazed by how much more involved you are in the gaming experience when Quincunx and 32-tap Aniso team up to give you the outstanding visual quality at a very high level of performance.
With the Absolute MORPHEUS, you get three of the latest and greatest games to round out your catalog, as well as the option to buy even more at discounted rates. Bonus.
Absolute studied the gamer. They found the hardcore gamer wants great performance. They must also have found the hardcore gamer to have a short attention span because they bundled three very addictive games with their card. My sample card was not the best overclocker, but yields continue to improve so your results may be better than mine.
While the GeForce3 is damn fast on its own, you need the games to prove it. Absolute delivers both.

PORTLAND - The wireless industry and law enforcement are getting ready to shut down criminals by shutting down stolen devices.
The Federal Communications Commission wants to make sure smart phone theft is a crime that doesn't pay.
They've created a so-called blacklist that would immediately make stolen devices useless. The government wants to stop thieves from using your smartphone if it's ever stolen.
If a phone is stolen, a button can be pressed and it can be rendered useless anywhere in the world, said Julius Genachowski, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
Genachowski announced the new initiative Tuesday. Over the next six months, the nation's largest carriers will launch programs that prevent stolen devices from being reactivated.
The database will have a unique identification number of every cell phone, making it easy to immediately deactivate.
It's like draining the swamp to fight malaria. What we are doing is drying up the market, said Ray Kelly, the New York Police Commissioner.
The gadgets are not only expensive, they're lockboxes for our most personal information and the devices account for as much as forty percent of thefts reported in America's big cities.
Portland is not exempt to these thefts.
We have a number of cases every month where phones or iPads or tablet computers are stolen, laptops are still stolen and marketable. Anything that can improve our ability to respond to these cases; if the cell phone companies can track or render them useless so that thieves don't steal them, is going to benefit the police, Portland Police Bureau spokesperson, Sergeant Pete Simpson said.
Right now, when most tablets and phones are stolen they can't be tracked and immediately deactivated.
These things are easily stolen. They're easily lost and they're easily sold and marketed on the black market because they aren't shut down, Simpson added.
Within eighteen months, the FCC hoped to merge all carriers into one national database. Until then Sgt. Simpson said you can do a lot to protect yourself.
If you have a smart phone or a tablet, when you get it, learn the security settings. Learn how to set a password. Learn how to activate the GPS. Learn how to remotely access it if you need to to track it, he said.
European carriers are already using a similar system, successfully.
The five biggest carriers here in the United States are on board.

I rent my small apartment (renovated two years ago) next to my own flat, in the ancient area of Perugia called Via della Viola. It's a single room with a mezzanine bed and bathroom. There is no kitchen.
The flat is in the very centre of Perugia in an area which is interesting for the arts and folklore. It is ideal for singles or couples who are visiting the historical centre of Perugia for a short period.
It is easy to get home. If you arrive by car there is free parking in Viale Ripa di Meana, 300 meters away. if you arrive by train, there is the "Minimetro", get off at the station "Pincetto", in the historic centre.
The area where the house is, called Via della Viola, is full of taverns, good&cheap pizzerias, jazz clubs. A movement of young artists also resides here, with their labs open to the public.
70 Reviews
Great city, great place really well localized, fare rate, Pierpaolo receive very well.
The appartement is exactly as described: very small but very clean and convenient. And a perfect location to explore Perugia. The host, Pierpaolo, is most helpful. We definitely recommend this place to explore the beuties of this Umbrian city.
I stayed in this apartment for 2 nights. During stay, I felt very comfortable just like my own home. Because the room was very clean and really neat. And the location is good to enjoy the city. It was very smart choice!
Pierpaolo è stato molto gentile e disponibile, ha fornito indicazioni dettagliate per raggiungere l'appartamento dalla stazione ferroviaria. La descrizione dell'appartamento è fedele alla realtà. Si trova in una zona molto vicina al corso principale della città.
Small but lovely. My daughter and I spent 4 days here and Pierpaulo was so nice to give us an extra set of keys so I could go to bed early while my daughter was hanging around in downtown Perugia. Great value this place.
Abbiamo soggiornato per tre giorni in questo mini appartamento.
Pierpaolo è stato fin da subito molto gentile e disponibile.
La casa sorge all'interno del centro di Perugia, più che un appartamento si puó parlare di una camera,dal momento che manca anche solo un piccolo angolo cottura per un caffè.
Nel complesso lo spazio disponibile è abbastanza accogliente e molto pulito, lo consigliamo a giovani che vogliono passare 2/3 giorni in città.
We received a warmth welcome from Pierpaolo who has been waiting for us in his apartment.
The place is well located within the medieval part of the town. About 10 minutes walk up to both the town centre and minimetro.
The room is small but clean and good enough for two. Although the host has mentioned about the mezzanine bed, it has not occurred to us that it refer to a climb up bed. This might be a consideration for potential guests. The host has installed a climb up bed to create a space underneath for living room, which may not be necessary since mostly a bed and a table will be enough, for most.
There are two great restaurants near the place we stay. A pizzeria that is just a block away that served good and cheap pizza, recommended by Pierpaolo himself. A osteria il gofu, which served tradition food at affordable price.
For those who has problem climbing up the slope to the town centre or probably the minimetro as well, if you frequent the escalator up taking the Via Carlolari route to the apartment, there is an alternative approach to the old town centre and minimetro from the apartment, which is down slope. From Via della Viola, instead of walking up Via Cartolari, take the route leading to Via Imbriani, there is a lift in a underpass near the minmetro which will bring you up to the town centre.
About the Host, Pierpaolo
good wine, walking around, talking to people, dry stout, taverns, pubs!
I hope you'll enjoy this funny town!

Anza rancher raises bulls to buck
High Octane's bloodlines were rich. His grandfather, Bodacious, was one of the meanest bulls ever, a ballad even composed about him. It reads in part:
"Here comes Bodacious
Y'all just step aside.
Big and bad Bodacious,
takes a toll from those who ride
After bucking his hind legs, forcing a cowboy forward, Bodacious reared his head and busted just about every bone in the rider's face. Another cowboy got off relatively unscathed, suffering a busted eye socket.
High Octane Hurricane has some of his grandfather in him. His record: 52 outs, 44 bucked rides. The past two Octobers, High Octane Hurricane kicked at the Thomas & Mack Center in the world finals.
Friends who once laughed at Nuciforo called for tickets.
"You sons o' bitches," cried Nuciforo. "You laughed at me, made fun of me, said I'd never get to the final. Now that I'm here you want tickets?"
But High Octane Hurricane's 8 years old now. Like the baseball player who overnight can't turn on a heater, Hurricane is slipping fast.
"It looks like he's lost a step," says Lambert.
In an effort to prolong Hurricane's career, Nuciforo shipped him to Robinson's ranch so he'd be closer to PBR events and could buck more frequently. Robinson said the results were mixed.
"It happens," says Robinson. "It happens to Roger Clemens. It happens to Michael Jordan. There comes a time when they're no longer Roger Clemens or Michael Jordan. Father Time catches up to everyone.
"Poor Nick's going to have a hard time realizing that bull's done."
Last week, Nuciforo faced the truth, retiring his prize find.
"That bull doesn't owe me nothin'," says Nuciforo. "He got me to the finals.
"I could keep bucking him. He'd have a good out, a bad out, a good out, a bad out. But what good does that do? Just hurt him like a racehorse.
"I'll breed him to cows. That's what a bull deserves. A bull doesn't deserve to be beat up anymore. If he doesn't want to play, there's no since making him play."
In search of successor
On Thursday, Nuciforo attached a trailer to his 1995 Ford pickup, the odometer reading 480,000-plus. He drove about a mile to the top of a hill where he leases 320 acres.
Twelve cows and a few bulls roam the property.
Nuciforo loaded 4-year-old Gizmo into the trailer then pointed the rig toward home. After passing the Anza Valley Exotic Bird shop, whose motto reads Fear No Parrot, Nuciforo eased onto his property.
He opened the trailer gates and shooed Gizmo into a pen.
"You know what?" Nuciforo told Gizmo. "You gotta carry on. Hurricane's retiring."

Old Keel bolt repair

Alan, lag bolts sound like a very practical solution, especially when the builder says it will work. The conventional repair is to sister in new keel bolts, drilling down into the keel and then crosswise to attch bolts or bend hooks into the bottom of the new bolts, and refilling the holes in the keel with new lead or epoxy. A LOT MORE WORK than installing lag bolts, arguably no better result.
Bear in mind that is you are drilling into a lead keel that makes lead dust, hazmat and toxic to breath. The procedure there is usually to use drilling mud (i.e. grease or lube) so that no dust comes out of the holes are you are working, and a particle mask would be good insurance anyway.
I expect you'll need to rent a large drill to make that job go fast, and simply buy a nice shiny sharp new bit for the holes.

A microwave movement detector which is capable of discriminating between progressive or unidirectional movement such as that by an unauthorized intruder and reciprocating movement such as by a curtain. The detector includes a pair of receiver/mixer diodes into which a transmitted signal is mixed with a surveying signal causing a phase difference so that the resultant signals have a different phase relationship amplifying the resultant signals feeding the signal into an integrating circuit in similar counter so that an alarm is sounded when the counter reaches a high or low threshold level.
1. A microwave movement detector, comprising:
a transmitter for generating and radiating a microwave signal;
a microwave receiver for detecting reflected surveying signals from said transmitter;
a microwave transmission means for coupling a reference signal from said transmitter to said microwave receiver;
said microwave receiver comprises:
a waveguide;
a plurality of receiving/mixing means producing outputs which are a function of said reference signal and said reflected surveying signal, each of said receiving/mixing means positioned within said waveguide for creating a unique phase delay between said reference signal and said reflected surveying signal;
phase comparison means responsive to each of said receiving/mixing devices for creating first and second level signals as a function of the relative phase delay between the outputs of said receiving/mixing means;
a counter means for counting in a first direction in response to signals of said first level from said phase comparing means and in a second direction in response to signals of said second level from said phase comparing means; and means to produce an alarm when said counter exceeds a predetermined upper or lower count.
2. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said microwave transmission means is coupled to said waveguide at a position which will cause said reference signals to be received by all of said receiving/mixing means in common phase relationship.
3. An apparatus as defined in claim 1, further comprising:
first and second amplifier means for increasing the amplitude of the outputs of said receiving/mixing means and coupling said amplitude increased signals to said phase comparator.
4. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said receiving/mixing means are diode detectors.
5. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said waveguide is a hollow member having conductive inner surfaces having a cross section dimension which is a function of the wavelength of the frequency of said transmitter.
6. An apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said waveguide is rectangular in cross section.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my co-pending application Ser. No. 637,394, filed Dec. 3,1975, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an intrusion or movement detector utilizing the transmission and reception of a microwave radio signal for the purpose of detecting moving objects in a manner which effectively discriminates against unwanted interfering phenomena. These phenomena could otherwise cause false operation of the detector.
Microwave intrusion detectors are known for detecting the movement of objects (preferably human) within an area of coverage. In general, a microwave signal is transmitted into the zone under surveillance and the signals reflected back from every object in the zone, are returned to a receiver. Should one of the objects in that zone be moving, then the signal received after reflection off that object will be of changing phase. The rate of change of phase is proportional to the velocity of movement of the object. By mixing this received signal with a portion of the transmitted signal, there is produced a resultant frequency equal to the rate of change of phase. This frequency is amplified and processed in order to activate an alarm when movement of objects within the zone occurs.
The disadvantage of such designs is that there is no ability to determine the type of motion of the object. Merely the existence of motion is detected. Thus, there can be no discrimination against reciprocating motion such as vibration, swaying curtains, swinging signs, etc., which are moving about a static mean point. This reciprocating motion can cause high false alarm rates, and is a different form of motion from that expected from an intruder. An intruder does not move about a static mean point but the contrast, must progress substantially unidirectionally through the zone for some distance. Existing microwave intruder detectors known to Applicant are unable to distinguish between progressive and reciprocating motion.
False alarm rates for existing designs of microwave detectors, caused by various forms of interference, are minimized by control of the bandwidth of the amplifier and by careful adjustment of threshold level, integration rate and decay time within signal processing circuitry. However, even the best designs of this type do not reduce the false alarm rate attributable to reciprocating motion.
Use of a microwave transmission medium despite the above mentioned setbacks has the advantage over ultra-sonic systems of not being affected by interference from wind or air turbulence or acoustic noise.
It is an objective of this invention to provide a microwave movement detector which can discriminate between progressive or unidirectional movement and reciprocating movement.
There is provided by the present invention in a microwave movement detector including a transmitter and receiver for transmitting and receiving a microwave signal or signals in an area to be surveyed by the detector the improvement comprising at least a pair of receiver/mixer diodes into which a portion of the transmitted signal is mixed with the surveying signal received at each diode means introducing a phase difference into either the receiver path or the transmitter path or both such that the resultant signals in the mixing process have a differing phase relationship.
By providing at least this one additional receiving diode and changing the phase relationship enables detection and discrimination of a specific type of motion.
The invention may be manufactured in the form of a waveguide, co-axial or stripline assembly.
In one form of the invention a portion of the transmitted signal is fed to the receiver section at a point behind the first receiver diode in a line configuration of diodes such that the surveying signal is received in a different phase at each diode. The actual phase difference is generally determined by the geometry chosen for the microwave hardware.
In an alternative form of the invention the receiver survey signal is supplied into two paths. At the end of each path is a receiver/mixer diode. A portion of the transmitted signal is fed into each receiver path in such a manner that one path is fed in a different phase from the other. This again produces two resultant frequencies with the diodes which are of differing phase. These said phase differences may be introduced further into one receiving path or alternatively into one of the transmitter feed paths or both.
The difference in phase of the two resultant signals is used to determine whether the object is moving either toward or away from the detector. The specific phase difference is independent of the velocity of the object. For motion toward the detector, the phase of one resultant signal will lead the other. For motion away from the detector, this phase relationship will reverse.
After amplification of the resultant signals to a convenient level, the phase of these signals is compared, to result in an output which signifies either an approaching or receding motion.
This output is used to cause a counting or integrating circuit to count upwards or downwards in accordance with motion of one direction or the other. Reciprocating motion will cause the counting circuit to count equally up and down, averaging at zero net gain or loss. By contrast, progressive motion will cause the counting circuit to count in one direction only. A sufficient number of counts in one direction or the other, will cause a preset threshold level such as an upper or lower limit to be reached, thereby causing the alarm circuit to be triggered.
A combination of reciprocating motion and progressive motion will cause a net gain or loss of counts such that one preset level will be reached. Thus, the existence of reciprocating motion does not overcome the ability of the detector to recognize progressive motion.
False alarms caused by reciprocating motion can be eliminated by this invention, and other causes of false alarms have been overcome by refined techniques of controlled amplifier bandwidth, interference suppression, integration rates, decay times and threshold levels within the processing circuitry.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the various sections of a microwave movement detector in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on lines X--X of a transmitter and receiver section, and
FIG. 3 is an end view of the transmitter and receiver section.
One practical form of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. Two microwave horn antennas 10, 11 are shown, one for the transmitter which for convenience utilizes a Gunn-effect device 16, and one for the pair of receivers. It is possible to use only one antenna and to use a circulator or a ratrace to provide the necessary isolation between transmitter and receivers. The important feature is to provide means for a phase difference in the resultant signals.
The receiver of FIG. 1 includes two diode detectors, 13 and 14, which modulate detected or received reflected surveying signals from the transmitter with a reference signal coupled from the transmitter 10 via a microwave transmission means 12 to the waveguide 15 of receiver 11. The microwave transmission means 12 is positioned to introduce the reference signals into the waveguide 15 so that the reference signal will be detected by diodes 13 and 14 simultaneously to result in in-phase reference signals being present at the two diodes.
The diodes are positioned at a distance from each other which is not a multiple of a wavelength of the frequency being used and therefore the received, reflected surveying signals are detected by diodes 13 and 14 as signals of the same frequency but of differing phase.
Diode detectors 13 and 14 therefore provide outputs that are a function of the received signal and a reference signal from the transmitter. These outputs are of a common frequency but of differing phase as the result of the location of the diodes within the waveguide. The output signals from the diodes are amplified and applied to a phase comparator that detects which of two out-of-phase input signals is leading and provides an indicative pulse output at predetermined intervals. An example of such a phase comparing circuit is presented in U.S. Pat. No. 3,646,455 on "Phase-Detecting Circuit" issued to E. Coccagna on Feb. 29, 1972. When a phase comparing circuit such as the Coccagna circuit is used, a square wave generator may be incorporated between the amplifiers and the phase comparators to enhance system operation. A typical square wave generator which may be incorporated in the circuit is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,504,199 on "Square Wave Generator Comprising Back-To-Back Series-Connected Charge Storage Devices" issued Mar. 31, 1970 to M. Cooperman.
The phase comparator produces outputs of a high and low level indicative of which signal leads the other. These outputs are applied to a counter of the type responsive to two input signals and capable of counting in either of two directions as a function of the two input signals. Counters of the type which may be incorporated in this circuit are illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,391,342 on "Digital Counter" issued July 2, 1968 to B. Gordon et al or U.S. Pat. No. 3,004,249 on "Signal Responsive Apparatus" issued Oct. 10, 1961 to E. Ostroff. The Ostroff circuit in an up-down counter with logic means to generate signals at predetermined up or down limits similar to the upper limit and lower limit means of FIG. 1. These limit detecting devices provide an output signal that may be used to activate an alarm.
Thus FIG. 1 illustrates one practical method for achieving the desired two signals of differing phase, together with a block schematic of the amplifying and processing sections which operate in the manner previously described.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 there is detailed a further alternative form of the invention. A die-casting 20 (for example) is constructed as a hollow member having conductive inner surfaces to form a pair of waveguides 21 and 22. One waveguide 22 forms the oscillator/transmitter section. The other waveguide 21 forms the receiver section and contains two receiver/mixer diodes as shown. The rectangular cross-section of the waveguides is a function of the wavelength of the frequency of said transmitter. An aperture 23 couples between the two waveguides so that a portion of the transmitter signal is fed to the receiver section at a point between the two diodes. This enables two received signals of differing phase to be obtained. These signals are amplified and processed in the manner previously described. The field pattern of transmission, and thus the area of coverage, may be modified by means of a horn (not shown) which can be fixed to the front of the casting. The advantages of this design over that of FIG. 1 are simplified construction, elimination of a co-axial cable, and the ability to use a single horn antenna instead of two. The coupling aperture could alternatively be made into a co-axial coupling (not shown) by inserting a suitable length rod in the centre of the hole, supported by a dielectric material.
While preferred embodiments of this invention have been illustrated and described, variations and modifications may be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, I do not wish to be limited thereto and ask that the scope and breadth of this invention be determined from the claims which follow rather than the above description.

A Left Front delegation met the State's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Sunil Gupta here on Monday, demanding that his office intervene in the Trinamool Congress' attempts to disrupt the process of revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal.
"In several districts activists of the State, Trinamool Congress is preventing the revision of electoral rolls so that the entire process is speeded up. This is an attempt to advance the rural polls as has been announced by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee," Communist Party of India (Marxist) State Secretariat member Rabin Deb told The Hindu after the meeting.
Mr. Deb said the Trinamool was opposed to the idea of revising the electoral rolls from the very beginning and it was only after the intervention of the Election Commission of India that the process had been set in motion.
He also alleged that a section of the officials of the Commission was under pressure from the Trinamool and the process of revising the electoral rolls was not being conducted properly.
Large-scale violence
"In certain districts such as Bankura, Purulia, Purba and Paschim Medinipur, that have witnessed large-scale political violence, supporters of the Left parties are being excluded from the rolls," he alleged.
Mr. Deb said that since the last date for revision of the electoral rolls was extended by the office of the CEO from October 31 to November 8, the publication date of the revised electoral rolls should also be pushed back to January 15 instead of January 5.

The tropical Atlantic is quiet today. An area of thunderstorms off the coast of South Carolina is due to an upper level low pressure system. This system is under only 10 knots of wind shear, but will not be around long enough to develop into a tropical depression. Strong westerly winds will carry the disurbance out to sea over cooler waters over the next few days.
An area of disturbed weather over the eastern Bahamas is associated with an upper-level trough. Wind shear is extremely high--40 knots--and this disurbance will not develop.
The models are not predicting any tropical storm formation this week.
It's an El Nino year quiet time in the Atlantic, so enjoy another quiet Sunday, everyone!

In the food industry GEA Niro spray coolers are applied for producing melts - of oils and fats, glycerines, etc. - in powder form and for encapsulation. They are applied in the production of products like:
Spray cooling or spray congealing is defined as a melt transition from soft or fluid state to rigid or solid powder form. Spry cooling is applied because melts are much easier to handle - transport, dose and store - when available in powder form. Encapsulation of bioactive and/or flavor oils by spray cooling is probably the most used encapsulation technology for several reasons:

My Rating
We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Philippe, was very knowledgeable and kept everything running at a good pace. He gave great suggestions for restaurants and we had plenty of time to explore on our own after the educational portion of the tour. The bathroom facilities left a little to be desired...but after all it was a Medieval Tour....the tour itself and our guide were great!
The only "downside" if you could call it that was the mini bus was for 8 guests and three of the girls from Brazil refused to trade up seats. Although our guide made the suggestion on many occasions for people to take turns in the front and middle they just wouldn't do it. So some people were stuck in the back the whole way. I was not impressed with these ladies (who claimed car sickness) as they were quite content to leave the elderly women to sit in the back. :-( My husband and shared around with them as best we could - but there should be a firm position to share the space...period.... especially when there are elderly people on the tour. We all paid the same price and should have equal opportunity for the "premium seats". We sat in the back most of the time so the ol' gals could at least get a middle seat- for us - asking 70+ ladies to crawl in the back....Not Cool! Anyway - if you get carsick - don't take this trip. It is 11 hours up hill on winding roads....
Maybe this should go in the description of the trip ... Guests will be required to trade seats throughout the trip to share photo opportunities and take turns in the not so coveted back seat. It is a long trip up winding hills - do not take it is you get carsick.

My Rating
Excellent. Everything we expected and more! We did the dinner and show and it was so worth it. The food was really good. When they say one drink... we actually got a bottle of wine between us for dinner and a glass of cava for the show. The theatre is very "intimate" all the seats are good. The Spanish guitar players and singers were as good as the dancers. It was a very good show all around. I would totally recommend this event!

This brand new product is launching itself during the convention and judging by the number of sold out signs scattered across the booth I wasn't the only one drawn to these adorable renditions of superheros and Smurfs and monsters. I was too late to get Batman or Superman because they were behind the dreaded sold out tape, but the monster series, which includes kid-friendly, cute versions of vampires is going home with me.
Mixo, who told me that they wanted to turn scary monsters into lovable creatures, striving for that warm-fuzzy vibe that kids and adults both love. If you look at the vampire graveyard you can see that effort in the smiling faces that stare out from gargoyles and the moon and even the vampire in his hearse.
Since this was the company's debut, not every item was available for purchase just yet. There are plans for Ghostbusters and Hello Kitty cans as well as more monsters and superheros. If you couldn't make it to San Diego you can still get these adorable collectible tins directly from Mixo as well as see their future releases. Just remember, these are so cute that if you want them for yourself, you're going to have to fight to keep them away from your kids.

VIDEO: Drool as Ferrari test driver hoons 458 Italia around test track
In the car world, being a Ferrari test driver has got to be the best job in the world. "Heya, Luigi, take'a this 458 out an see'a if it breaks'a". So you tear out of the factory, bound for Ferrari's private 1.9-mile test track outside of Maranello. Then you bomb the freshly built supercar around Fiorano's curves and straightaways until something goes 'Bam!'. Such is the life of the lucky bastard in this video. And you get to watch as he beats the livin' hell out of a Giallo Modena yellow 458. Turn your speakers up so you can hear that V8 wail.

VIDEO: Epic Ferrari Fail
In the right hands, a Ferrari can do amazing things. It reacts to your input much faster than a normal car, and that allows you to cover large tracts of land very quickly.

Volvo Earns ''Acceptable'' Rating in 2014 IIHS 40 mph ''Small Overlap'' Test. They Did MUCH Better 22 Years Ago with an '81 model...
Imagine driving down a five lane—two in either direction with a turn lane in the center—street lined with houses. You're in the nearer-to-center lane—at the 45 mph speed limit, of course—and notice a small pickup back out of a far away driveway into the curb-side lane of your half of the road. You think nothing of it, seeing as how they're starting to roll forward in a different lane, as expected. But just as the "Why are they going so slow?" question sounds in your brain, the truck's driver decides to make an abrupt left turn directly into your path when you're two car-lengths away.
Instantly you're HARD on the brakes and diving for the center turn lane in a vain attempt to miss the collision, knowing that turning any further will only put you in the path of oncoming traffic and make things worse. And that's the last thought your brain gets out before your beloved 1981 Volvo wagon's right front corner plows into the offender's 1990 Toyota pickup at its left front tire.
Welcome to the REAL world of 40+ mph "small overlap" impacts, 1992-style. And, as I'm sure you've guessed from all the driving and typing I've done in the 22 year interim, I was (relatively) unhurt. The other guy(s), well, not so much…

Ford's Freakiest F-350 Has Been Sold in Chicago. And Now That We Can Track It, We Should Kill It... With Fire!
As you might have read in an article a colleague of mine wrote a while ago, the 1994 Dodge Ram displayed at that year's Detroit Auto Show is blamed/praised as the pickup design that set the tone for every rig that's followed. And for that, we all—yes, ALL—should kiss the ring of anyone involved in the creation—and implementation—of that truck.

Next Chevy Volt Could Get Up to 50 Miles All-Electric Driving
The 2014 Chevy Volt will feature a few very minor option updates, but outside of that, the only thing new on it is the price. The next generation of the Volt promises a much more thorough series of upgrades, including much improved all-electric range, according to comments from GM CEO Dan Akerson. It still won't be a rightful "electric vehicle," the way GM insists on describing it, but it will be one step closer.
