Forget the chicken and egg question; I can still remember how much my head hurt trying to figure out that puzzler. That doesnt mean Im not still interested in the whole concept of which comes first, particularly as it applies to something the Columbus Blue Jackets are trying to establish here in Ohios capital: that elusive winning culture. Weve heard the phrase mentioned many times around the Blue Jackets locker room this early season. Everyone seems focused on planting the seeds of that culture and helping make it grow. But when a colleague asked me what comes first, a winning culture or winning, I have to admit I hesitated. After some head scratching and mindless muttering, I thought Id ask a guy who figures to be instrumental in moving this franchise to the level its hoping to reach. So, Jack Johnson, what DOES come first, the winning or the winning culture? Id say winning, because you cant have a winning culture without winning, he explained. You need to start winning, and it...

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Trucks have begun dumping sand on a Galveston beach in a nearly $5 million expansion and anti-erosion effort.
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Trucks have begun dumping sand on a Galveston beach in a nearly $5 million expansion and anti-erosion effort.
Republicans in the U.S. Senate are pushing new rules that would allow states to opt out of Obamacare, yet another battle in the war against the new health care law. And this war may not end until the U.S. Supreme Court finally gets involved.
President Barack Obama gave sound advice on Monday in a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He offered that the government must work to make America a "better place to do business," and at the same time, businesses must "do for America."
Hopefully the President realizes that if the government does its part, American businesses will most certainly do the same.
Despite the piles of snow, slick layers of ice and Canada-like temperatures, Texas will play host to the NFL's Super Bowl this weekend - the third time the state has hosted the mega-event. And even with the weather-related obstacles hampering North Texas all week, the run-up to Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington has been a success.
Dear Mother Nature: Really? After the tease of last weekend, you break our hearts with the coldest snap in decades - and then you go and dump some 8-inches of the white powder on our heads. Was that just for giggles?

Beaded Crown (Oríkògbòfó)
These three works speak to the highly inventive history of Yoruba art. Incorporating outside materials, they each reflect how both a colonial past and global exchange shaped shifting ideas about local identity.
Even this bead-embroidered crown, the ultimate symbol of Yoruba kingship, is the product of a complex global story. Although the Yoruba have a long history of glassmaking, the large, multicolored ade crown depicts figures wearing bowler hats and contains beads imported by the British in the late nineteenth century into what would soon become the Nigeria colony. The smaller beaded crown, known as an oríkògbòfó, is an evolution of the ade form, but it is modeled after the wig of a British barrister (lawyer), still worn in court today by members of the Nigerian judiciary.
Yinka Shonibare, a British artist of Yoruba and Nigerian descent, used Dutch wax-printed fabric to create Skipping Girl. This material—a commodity associated with Africa but actually created in Europe, based on Indonesian designs, and sold in West Africa—serves as a symbol of the web of economic and cultural interrelationships among Africa, Asia, and Europe. Shonibare exposes cultural "authenticity" as an illusion and evokes the layers of historical connections among global cultures.

Thanks for posting all these! I think you're the only person in the entire internet who has both a) devoted time to solving the problem, and b) blogged about it!
For me, I agree that #9 has caused the most significant restructuring of object responsibilities. Unfortunately rule #9, combined with Rule #3 (wrap all primitives and strings), and Rule #2 (Don't use the ELSE keyword), has left me at an ugly crossroads.
I'm getting the idea that squeezing the last bits of object calisthenics compliance out of a solution is just not worth it. For me, I'm down to exactly two rule violations, and "fixing" either will require bending the rules. So, for inspiration I'm looking around at what everyone else is saying about object calisthenics...and your series of blog posts is about all I can find on the subject.

Many in drug sting lack military ties
Sweep said to focus on off-base housing
Instead, they spell out how agents used confidential informants to arrange drug buys at the Pico Street house, and how San Diego detectives posed an undercover officer as a patient after learning medical marijuana was available on various Web sites.
"The buy/walk operation focused on subjects advertising the sale and delivery of marijuana," states a declaration against a medical-marijuana collective member from Spring Valley.
One defendant was working the counter at a Pacific Beach smoke shop when he sold a "large glass smoking device" and supplied marijuana to an undercover officer, according to a court file. The file makes no mention of the Chula Vista man posing a threat to military families.
Dumanis said that all 33 suspects are serious drug offenders, and that court files do not list all the evidence collected by investigators.
"We didn't just trump up this idea," said Dumanis, who faces re-election next year. "These were people who were preying on military housing, and the operation was designed to catch those people."
NCIS Special Agent in Charge Pete Hughes was more nuanced during an interview last week. Illegal drugs are often sold in military communities, Hughes said, and the Navy must discourage such activity.
"This wasn't us targeting people who were targeting military families," Hughes said. "The Navy community is in and about San Diego, so San Diego's problems are our problems, as well."
Lansdowne declined to be interviewed. Assistant San Diego Police Chief Cesar Solis said that his department does not target legitimate medical-marijuana patients but that the 14 defendants were not abiding by the law.
"The relationship between a patient and a primary caregiver wasn't established," Solis said. "It takes more than just providing marijuana. What we had was basically hand-to-hand sales."
A lawyer representing Lambert and another defendant disagreed.
Gerald Singleton said his clients are members of permissible collectives and therefore are allowed to grow marijuana for medical use, transport it and seek compensation when suppling it to other members.
"If they are marking (the price) up and making a profit, that's different," Singleton said. "But in situations like this, where they only make enough to cover their expenses and their time, then that's allowable."
The city of San Diego in 2003 adopted guidelines for growing and storing medical marijuana, but other officials have taken a harder line.
The county Board of Supervisors has refused to issue ID cards to qualified patients – a state law the county has fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court – and a regional task force repeatedly has raided storefront dispensaries in San Diego and San Marcos.
Singleton said this latest sting is another example of local authorities unfairly targeting medical-marijuana users.
"It looks like what they're trying to do is get a lot of publicity, and they're using this military-housing thing to go after medical marijuana," he said.
Dumanis received similar criticism in May, when she announced the arrests of 96 people around San Diego State University on drug-related charges, including 75 students.
The announcement of Operation Sudden Fall made national news. Scores of people were labeled as serious drug offenders even though charges were never filed or eventually dismissed against at least 14 suspects. Most of the others received probation or diversion programs after admitting they sold or possessed modest amounts of drugs.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 12/27/12
ST. LOUIS - While plenty of questions remain about the strength of No. 12 Illinois and their chances to contend for a Big Ten Conference title once league play starts next week, first year coach John Groce learned plenty about his team last week. The Illini, winners of their first 12 games and ranked as high as No. 10 in the Top 25 Associated Press and Coaches Polls, found out the hard way on Dec. 22 in St. Louis just how dangerous relying on the three-point shot can be. One of the top three-point shooting teams in the nation entering the annual Braggin' Rights game at Scottrade Center, Illinois went ice cold from behind the three-point line and lost to rival Missouri, 82-73. But dropping their first game of the season did nothing to dampen the excitement and potential that Groce sees for his group come later in the season. "We don't allow one game to define us," Groce said. "I know it's an important game, it's a rivalry game, we certainly have respect for that, but we're going ...

I write about what I find moving and disturbing.
Culture-shock or how, again and again, the carpet gets pulled from under our feet.
My fictional worlds reflect Muslim logic. But my characters do not necessarily behave as 'good' Muslims; they are not ideals or role models. They are flawed and complex, trying to practise their faith or make sense of Allah's will, in difficult circumstances.
The early years of my life in Sudan are my bearings and measure. In term of aesthetics, in terms of colours and smells, I am in tune with the Khartoum I knew.
In his first term at college in London, Majdy wrote letters home announcing that he would not make it, threatening that he would give up and return. To call him on the phone, his mother made several trips to the Central Post Office in Khartoum, sat for hours on the low wooden bench, fanning her face with the edge of her tobe in the stifling heat, shooing away the barefooted children who passed by with loaded trays trying to sell her chewing gum, hairpins and matches.

Dear daughter - My heart knows your sadness and worry. We are always in God's hands - yet it is so hard to really realize it. I do love your comment - Let's be happy while we're together. Try to enjoy the days - can you get outside to feel the sunshine and breeze?. I would take my Mom out in the car when she was quite weak. Make some sandwiches and coffee/tea and have a picnic in the car at some nice location. I will be praying for you both.
Please pray for Hugh - who has been recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. 85 years young and one of God's Blessings to others. Please pray that he does not suffer anymore.

Recently I was in the market to get something unique, cute and perfect for my "not quite" Sister-In-Law for Mother's Day.

Jeremy Clarkson
Clarkson on: women
There was a strange letter in last month's magazine. It was from a 21-year-old girl who couldn't understand why her love affair with cars was such a turn-off for men.
Well, trust me on this love, it's not a turn off for me. There is nothing to warm the cockles of my tumescence more than the sight of a girl in a serious car. Emma Parker-Bowles, for instance, has a Mitsubishi Evo VIII and the thought of that, honestly, keeps me awake at night.
Just yesterday I saw a middle-aged housewife in rural clothes screaming down the M40 in a Lotus Elise. I nearly grew a third leg. And when I heard that Kate Moss had bought an old pagoda roof Mercedes SL, I had to go for a lie down.
We men have learned over the last few years that it's a good idea to be in touch with our feminine side. If we cry in films, eat lots of salad and read Victorian poetry, it makes us more attractive. But there's a flip side to that argument. Women can boost the magnetism of their pheromones by getting in touch with their male side. This would mean not changing gear until they hit the redline and fancying lap dancers.
My wife is so completely in touch with her male side, I'm surprised she hasn't actually grown a scrotum. This is a woman who uses the C-word as early as possible at dinner parties to save time. Guests that shudder aren't worth talking to, and those that don't are worthy of further bottom sniffing.
This is a woman who's just spent three weeks rallying her Elise around the Atlas mountains in Morocco with a girlfriend. Although that said, they missed out on the ultimate prize because one night, instead of handing in their time card, they went for a swim.
This is a woman who once said she couldn't see the point of cars with less than 200bhp, who won't drive my Mercedes because it's an automatic and who loathes any car that has even a hint of pliability in the suspension. She thinks an Aerial Atom is too soft and an Evo FQ340, too slow.
When our third child was born, I suggested that her BMW Z1 might not be the most practical car and that she might require more seats. So she went out and bought a Caterham Seven as well. It wasn't quite what I had in mind.
Then came the Elise, which arrived, and after a short test drive, was sent straight back to Lotus to have a louder exhaust fitted.
And now she's bought a Land Rover.
"My wife is so completely in touch with her male side, I'm surprised she hasn't actually grown a scrotum"
Being mean, I tried first of all to veto the idea on the basis that she already owns two off-road go-karts, the Lotus, a Focus, a Volvo XC90 and a motorbike. When this didn't work, I tried to convince her that Land Rovers are ugly and crude and that it would just be an expensive eyesore sitting in the yard.
I had in my mind's eye a long-wheelbase, skinny tyred pickup truck with a corrugated-iron cover and the engine from a 19th century water pump. And in a list of things I wanted to buy, this would come in at about 9,450. I'd rather have gone on Strictly Come Dancing.
She smiled the smile of a woman who wasn't listening and two days later came home with quite the most remarkable vehicle I've ever seen.
It's an F-registered, left-hand-drive Land Rover 90 diesel which means it's old, and so slow it can't climb any sort of hill. That's bad, but according to the vendor it has seen service with the Swiss Army which is good. It means it won't have seen any action at all and the engine will have been turned off at all the red traffic lights.
What's better is that all the military paraphernalia is still in place. That means camouflage paintwork, downward pointing lights that can't be seen by aircraft, four 20ft aerials, a mine prodder, an engine air-intake above the windscreen and best of all... a gun. Yes. My wife is now so in tune with her masculinity, she's bought a sodding tank.
To give it even more playground cred, its metal roof can be unbolted and removed completely, it has super-dark tinted windows and it sits on the widest, chunkiest off-road tyres BF Goodrich have ever produced. This thing, I kid you not, makes Lara Croft's Land Rover look like a Suzuki Vitara. It makes Norman Schwarzkopf's Hummer look like a Nissan Micra. It is butch, and them some.
Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks, chief among which is that, despite the seven seats, it cannot be used for transporting children because there are no seatbelts and the interior is stuffed to overflowing with razor sharp military protuberances that would sever a seven-year-old's head in even the gentlest of accidents.
Nor will it be much cop at transporting fence posts and Christmas trees, partly because it's a short-wheelbase 90 and partly because the back's already full of camo nets, ammo boxes and chemical warfare suits.
Then there's the driving experience. I'd love to tell you all about this, but I made such a fuss about not getting the damn thing in the first place, my wife hasn't bothered putting me on the insurance. Still, I was taken out in it the other night and simply couldn't believe how loud and crude it was. Nor could I believe how long it took us to do three miles.
That old diesel engine really did manage to make mountains out of molehills, turning even the most Dutch piece of level ground into a sheer rock face that required another gear change to keep moving. I think we hit 40 once. I know we arrived at the party an hour late, feeling like we'd just done an SAS assault course.
"Great, isn't it?" said my wife.
I suppose I quite like the radio which, with those enormous aerials could almost certainly be used to eavesdrop on operations in the Gulf. Actually, you could probably use it to monitor the progress of the Voyager space probe which left our solar system last month.
And I am interested in the piece which is an SA-80 that's been converted to fire... actually, I don't what know it's been converted to fire. But I do suspect traffic wardens would think twice about ticketing a car that has a machine gun clipped to the dashboard.
What I love most of all, though, is that I don't have to drive it. If I did, people would see me coming and think, 'what kind of saddo would ever choose to tool around in a quasi-military Land Rover?' A man in a car like this looks, at best, preposterous, and at worst, like a murderer.
But a girl in a car like this looks like she's descended from the gods. A girl in a road-going tank is even more sexy than one in nothing at all.

I have been working at FactSet
Excellent benefits and extremely flexible scheduling (i.e. if you need to work at home, take time for a medical appointment). Engineering managers did a good job of filtering communication from Product Design and Consulting (i.e. all the facts you need, while protecting you from unnecessary interruptions from other departments). Free snacks/drinks and free lunch (along with all manner of other free food) is a nice perk. Excellent engineering tools in place (i.e. development environment, build system, source control). Engineering department has a nice degree of autonomy. Nice proximity to New York City (from Norwalk, CT location). Length of work week is extremely reasonable (40-45 hrs. per week typically).
Not a great deal of creative freedom on projects, or places to input new ideas and/or suggest new projects if you're new. Cafeteria food varies in quality, but free is free is free. Fairfield County, CT can be expensive (although some parts are nice to compensate). Pretty hierarchial in structure. Engineers don't strike me as being miserable, but neither do they seem wildly happy.
Advice to Management
It would be nice if newer engineers had a chance to think more entrepreneurially and propose/start their own projects where necessary or desirable (think Google), even if this in some cases required longer hours. Structure of the company feels rather rigid, overall.

Decent hours(don't work weekends), free lunch and free snacks, startup company culture. Colleagues are generally friendly, caring and helpful.
Most of the reviews on this website pretty much sum it up.
The work is cumbersome and trivial. None of the work is intellectually stimulating and there is no incentive/reward to try. The management team expects you to go the extra mile for every client no matter the request. That is understandable, but you quickly realize that most of the required solutions make no practical sense.
This is a software company that tries to disguise it's "consulting" role as a finance related role. None of what you do is finance related. It is more backoffice IT support. You don't learn much after training as almost all clients call in with the same menial requests.
If you are a motivated/hardworking/smart individual this is definitely not the place to grow and develop.
Advice to Management
The company culture seems to be focused on being mediocre and learning to stick with the illogical. Learn to focus on what matters (practical solutions).

Gear Review
Rusty Shackleford
Very nice knife
I enjoy this knife a lot. I have had it for several days and have been carrying it around everywhere I go. I have a bunch of other knives, but the only other assisted opener is a Kershaw Ken Onion design.
It is a solid knife, and while I would not call it heavy, it is not a light knife either. It feels solid, which is the best way to describe it. I like that the handle is thin and wide, because it fits into my palm very well. Also, I have not had any problems with my hand slipping up on the blade because of the pass through bar, although I have not used it when it was wet. This is kinda weird to say, but I really like the pocket clip on it. It is easy to clip onto my pocket and comes off easy. The blade came VERY SHARP, which was a big plus.
I don't mind the lockback style as opposed to the linerlock style that many people are used to. I usually close knives with two hands anyway, but I can see how it would effect one handed operation. The only thing I would change about it is the locking mechanism. The button is very small and there is not a lot of difference between "on" and "off." With this said, the knife has never opened accidently, and I don't see this being a huge issue.
I have one other minor quirk, which prevented me from giving it five stars, although in truth I would like to give it 4.5 stars. It is a little stiff to open, at least stiffer than the Kershaw. This is not really a bad thing though, especially if you are worried about setting it off accidently.
Overall, it is a good knife, and I would buy it again if I had the chance. Especially since it was on steepandcheap.

Not long after the patrol through the market, Torelli sits near the end of a long table in the governor's house. The governor is next to him and 50 or so of Zabul's "line directors" fill the table -- the Zabul representatives of the national ministries, responsible to officials in Kabul rather than to the governor himself.
After the meeting Torelli pointed out how few of them were literate and how little experience they had. One of the U.S.'s longest-term projects is to build more capacity inside the government. That, Torelli says, will take generations.
"Zabul has a scarcity of education," Gov. Mohammed Ashraf Nasseri said in an interview following the meeting. "It has a lack of human and professional resources, and it is one of the reasons that keeps Zabul behind in the development process."
Capacity problems, however, also extend to the American effort as well. When Torelli arrived, he said, only one person in his 100 member team had any experience in Afghanistan in his or her field. Only three engineers live on the base and there is only one representative from the main U.S. government departments contributing to the reconstruction.
The lack of resources, he says, "makes it hard to do significant, consistent work."
As part of the new U.S. commitment to Afghanistan, the U.S. promises a "civilian surge" to fill these Provincial Reconstruction Teams with more experts. In Zabul that surge may be as few as 12 people, Torelli says.
He has requested a full agriculture team of 100 people, but isn't sure whether they'll arrive.
The agriculture team may be the most important effort to the U.S.' long term development of Zabul and the rest of Afghanistan.
Eighty percent of "fighting-age males" in Afghanistan are small scale farmers. In Zabul, because of a lack of storage, water, and transportation, the economy is based almost entirely on subsistence agriculture.
Improving productivity and market access will be one of the main ways the U.S. fights the massive poppy market, which is helping fuel the insurgency. And providing more agriculture jobs will help defeat the Taliban, most of whose fighters enlisted to gain income rather than fulfill religious inspirations.
Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, recently announced the U.S. was increasing its agriculture assistance funding from tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions and reducing efforts to eradicate poppy.
"In my experience of 40-plus years… this was the single most wasteful, most ineffective program that I had ever seen," Holbrooke recently told the Washington Post, speaking of the poppy eradication efforts. "It wasn't just a waste of money… This was actually a benefit to the enemy. We were recruiting Taliban with our tax dollars" by angering farmers when the U.S. destroyed their poppy crops.
Instead, money will be pumped into "alternative livlihoods" and similar programs that promote agriculture jobs.
That will begin in the main population centers. In Zabul, those are centered around Highway 1, the 2003 USAID project that linked Kabul to Kandahar with a single two-lane highway. It was extremely popular, but the U.S. did not realize how difficult it would be to defend. In Zabul, it has become the most popular target of insurgents.

|RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—Last year, the usually fatal tomato disease called late blight devastated U.S. gardens—and the gardeners who tend them. It struck again this year, but because the disease relies on wet, moist weather to wreak havoc, the recent weeks-long heat wave in many areas of the country seems to have spared a lot of tomatoes.
If late blight strikes, in most cases it takes ripping out the infected plant, double-bagging it, and sending it to the landfill to keep it from infecting more of your garden (or your neighbors' gardens). Many more common tomato diseases (but not all) do not require such drastic measures, so knowing how to diagnose your tomato problems is key.
For guidance on recognizing the tomato problems home gardeners are likely to encounter, we turned to plant disease expert Meg McGrath, PhD, of Cornell University.
Here's how to identify late blight and its look-a-likes:
Late Blight
Gray Mold
Drought Stress
Early Blight
Septoria Leaf Spot

Late Blight, a.k.a. Tomato Blight.
McGrath says the first step in diagnosis is to examine your plants carefully for symptoms. "Early in the day is the best time for this because, with late blight, most spore production occurs the evening before," she says. "It's also important to know that late blight can affect all parts of the plant, whereas some of the 'imitators' do not. Characteristic leaf symptoms are very large spots, which look water-soaked at first. They then become brown, often with a border of light green, wilted tissue."
The underside of leaf lesions is the best place to look for late blight's white, fuzzy growth of spores, McGrath adds. "Large, dark brown lesions develop on stems and petioles, and sometimes the pathogen produces more spores on these," she says. "When leafstalks are affected, the whole leaf can collapse. Affected fruit develop large, brown firm areas."
Gray Mold.
This is the tomato problem that's most commonly confused with late blight. The reason? Like late blight, the pathogen causes large leaf spots and stem lesions, and can affect the fruit. You'll often see these symptoms initially on dead plant tissue, such as flowers and leaves, which the pathogen typically needs to become established before it can attack living plant tissue.
Affected fruit are soft, not firm as with blight. And the pathogen growth is fuzzier and gray or brownish, not white. The bad news is, like blight, once you see this occurring on your plants, you should remove infected leaves or entire plants and burn them, or bag them and put them out with the garbage.
To prevent disease in the first place, apply compost mulches to boost the number of beneficial microorganisms that can suppress the disease. (It's never too late to mulch, in case you were wondering.)
Drought Stress.
When plants can't get enough water to their leaves, this kills off large sections of leaf tissue. In contrast with late blight lesions, symptoms of drought stress always extend from the leaf edge, they lack a defined border of wilted tissue, and there is no fuzzy pathogen growth. Also, you don't see drought symptoms on stems or fruit.
To prevent drought stress, make sure you water smart during dry spells.
Early Blight.
Leaf, stem, and fruit spots are all smaller than with late blight, and often have a characteristic concentric ring pattern or target-shape appearance. Pull infected plants and bag them with the garbage, and apply mulches of compost or clean straw to prevent spores from splashes from the ground onto your other plants.
Septoria Leaf Spot.
Similar to early blight, leaf and stem spots are much smaller than with late blight, and often have a characteristic tan-colored center. The fruit is not affected. To lower your chances of having this disease problem in the future, keep your garden as weed-free as possible (the pathogen can overwinter on certain weeds, including jimsonweed and seed horsenettle, among others. For even more detailed information, check out late blight organic management.

In 2014, Alaska Dispatch News created a musher profile series featuring some of the top Iditarod mushers in the state. Learn about their training methods, their dogs, and their unbridled determination.
As an Anchorage cardiologist, Mark Selland has an impressive medical resume. He also has an impressive resume when it comes to outdoor escapades. But he says running his first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race may be his toughest challenge yet.
Jeff King thinks of the Iditarod as a 10-day stretch, in which his dog team must go 100 miles each day. When his dogs run out gas, he pulls over and fills up the tank by feeding and resting them.
Born into an Iditarod legacy, 2012 champion Dallas Seavey talks about the delicate balancing act -- and hard work -- of keeping a top team moving along the trail.

Lobularia is a genus of five species of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, closely related to (and formerly often included in) the genus Alyssum. The genus is native to Macaronesia and the Mediterranean region, and comprises annuals and perennials growing to 10–40 cm (4–16 in) tall, with hairy oblong-oval leaves and clusters of cross-shaped (cruciform), fragrant white flowers.[1]
The name Lobularia derives from the Greek for a small pod, referring to the fruits.
- Selected species
- Lobularia canariensis
- Lobularia libyca
- Lobularia intermedia (syn. L. canariensis subsp. intermedia)
- Lobularia marginata (syn. L. canariensis subsp. marginata)
- Lobularia maritima
Cultivation and uses[edit source | edit]
Lobularia maritima (sweet alyssum; syn. Alyssum maritimum) is a very popular garden plant, ; it has become widely naturalised throughout the temperate world.

Congratulations to CBHR's own Dr. Alphus D. Wilson (Dan) who recently received notification from the international journal Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) that his 2009 review article Applications and Advances in Electronic-Nose Technologies published with Italian cooperator and coauthor Dr. Manuela Baietto was awarded 1st prize of "Sensors Best Paper Award 2013". This international review article summarizes research and applications of electronic aroma detection (EAD) technologies, primarily electronic-nose technologies, that have been developed and utilized within many industrial sectors (worldwide) over the past 30 years.
Congratulations to CBHR's own Dr. Mel Warren for being part of the team of co-authors receiving the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2011 Scientific and Technological Achievement Award Level III for "development of a novel indicator of ecosystem function: microbial acquisition of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous." Their paper, Microbial enzyme activity, nutrient uptake and nutrient limitation in forested streams , was part of a trio of articles on which the award was based.
We welcome Dr. Jiaen Zhang, a visiting scholar from the South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China, who will be working this next year with host Dr. Ying Ouyang of our Starkville, MS staff and Dr. Prem Parajuli of the Mississippi State University Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department. Dr. Zhang's study areas include agricultural ecology, soil ecology and ecology of invasive plants and animals, green house gases emission in wetlands and global changes, ecological effects of acid rain, as well as ecosystem services and other related global enviromental issues.
CBHR's .Dr. Emile Gardiner has been appointed to succeed Dr. John Stanturf as the U.S. National Representative to the International Poplar Commission, a technical statutory body of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States dedicated to the conservation and management of the Salicaceae family of trees, which includes poplars and willows.
Cooperative research with Weyerhaeuser is currently underway to assess the impacts of biofuels treatments to known populations of Procambarus lylei, the Shutispear crayfish, on Weyerhaeuser land. The species is a Mississippi "species of greatest conservation need", and is listed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List as "endangered". Early sampling efforts revealed the presence of Hobbseus yalobushensis, another crayfish species of high conservation concern under several ranking systems. The study has been expanded to allow for more extensive sampling to clarify the distributional extent of the species on Weyerhaeuser land and to better understand the species ecology. Dr. Susan Adams is lead CBHR scientist on this project.View all spotlights

Looking for someone with a raid setup, I have a question or two
I haven't been able to find a good answer, so I figure if I can find someone who has a raid setup maybe this person could help.
I've recently thought about setting up a raid with two extra drives so I can mirror them both, and have a good back up system. My motherboard supports it, however I found an external drive bay that'll run the raid I want over USB2.0 or serial ata. The only reason I'm considering the external one is if say down the road I have to get a new motherboard, is it a pain to put the new drives on the mother board and get a raid going again without losing data? That is my only concern that it seems I wouldn't have with the external setup. I just plug it in like an external drive.
If setting it up on the motherboard isn't a big deal, and if taking two drives that are mirrored and setting them up on a new motherboard later isn't either, I would go with that.
My motherboard is asus if that helps, however I don't know if it would.

Either way, whether it's internal connected to the motherboard, or external connected to a firewire/usb plug, if you get a new computer you'll have to set it up all over again. If you have the space, it may be better to go internal... the connections are standaridized so you wouldn't need to worry about your drives attaching to one MB and not another. Also you can get better/faster internal drives a lot cheaper than external drives. The only reason I would go with external is if you forsee having to move the data around, or connect it to more than one computer at a time.
June 8th, 2007 #3
You really don't want an external drive, especially ones thats USB/Firewire to be in a raid array. Your only going to get a 30mb/s write speed from something like that which will really bottleneck you.
June 8th, 2007 #4
When I was talking about external I was thinking of this
It'll take normal internal drives. I don't see why I'd have to set it up again moving it to a new system or redoing my own with it being a hardware raid. If that's the case, then yeah I'd just slap them inside and deal with it that way. However I'm only wondering if there is a good chance of losing data on mirrored raid 1 drives if having to put them on a new system later on if I had to.
June 8th, 2007 #5
The only real concern that I have held with ESATA is there is no shielding (unless they have addressed this in the past couple of years). Although with most cases this shouldn't be a major concern, when it comes to a RAID setup or data backup I would hate to see it fail due to a system problem internally, and lack of shielding externally.
Just my two cents though!

I agree with Chingwa, I doubt an external setup would make changing computer setups any easier on you, plus I doubt that the external could compare with the speed of internal raid setups.
Besides all that, if you're doing mirroring you should be fine. It's the striping that'll screw you over when switching.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Afghan soldier who killed a U.S. two-star general and wounded other top officers hid in a bathroom before his assault and used a NATO assault rifle in his attack, an Afghan military official said Wednesday. The investigation into the killing of Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the highest-ranked U.S. officer to be slain in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War, focused on the Afghan soldier, who went by the single name Rafiqullah, the official said. The shooting wounded about 15 people, including a German general and two Afghan generals, before Rafiqullah was killed, the official told The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Harold J. Greene, the two-star Army general who became the highest-ranking U.S. military officer to be killed in either of America's post-9/11 wars, was an engineer who rose through the ranks as an expert in developing and fielding the Army's war materiel. He was on his first deployment to a war zone. Greene was killed Tuesday when a gunman believed to be an Afghan soldier opened fire at a military academy near Kabul. More than a dozen other coalition soldiers were wounded, including about eight Americans, according to early accounts of the attack. It was among the bloodiest insider attacks of the war in Afghanistan.
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Air strikes and artillery fire between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian troops in the eastern city of Donetsk have brought the violence closer than ever to the city center, as Kiev's forces move in on the rebel stronghold. With Ukrainian troops encircling Donetsk, Western leaders have accused Russia of building up forces along the border in what some fear may preface an intervention. On Wednesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he believed that the "the threat of a direct intervention (by Russia) is definitely greater than it was a few days ago, or two weeks ago."
BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri man was put to death Wednesday for raping and killing a college student in 1995, making him the first U.S. prisoner executed since a lethal injection in Arizona last month in which an inmate took nearly two hours to die. The Missouri Department of Corrections said Michael Worthington was executed by lethal injection at the state prison south of St. Louis and was pronounced dead at 12:11 a.m., 10 minutes after the process began. He is the seventh Missouri inmate executed this year.
LONGTOUSHAN, China (AP) — Minutes after a deadly earthquake shook western China, disaster teams were on the move. Within hours, food, tents, and even a 4G cellphone network were in place, showing how a fast-developing China can bring its plentiful experience and enormous resources to bear in handling natural disasters. Yet while the military is leading the relief operation — seizing on the opportunity to strut its considerable stuff and show its commitment to the public good — growing numbers of volunteers from among students, social groups and private businesses are a prominent element of the effort, even if they sometimes get underfoot.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Add Kansas to the list of states where tea partyers tried and failed to knock out Senate Republicans this year. Next up: Tennessee, and the odds for the upstarts are no better. Three-term Sen. Pat Roberts dispatched tea party favorite Milton Wolf on Tuesday, edging out the radiologist and distant cousin of President Barack Obama in a bitter, closely fought primary. With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, Roberts had 48 percent to Wolf's 41 percent while two other candidates combined for 11 percent of the vote.
Walgreen plans to keep its roots firmly planted in the United States, saying it will no longer pursue an overseas reorganization that would have trimmed the amount of U.S. taxes it pays. The nation's largest drugstore chain said that, as previously planned, it will buy the remaining stake in Swiss health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots that it does not already own. It will not pull off an inversion, however, a tactic that has become increasingly popular with U.S. companies seeking tax relief, but which has sparked a backlash in Washington and among the public.
DARMSTADT, Germany (AP) — After a journey of 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles), Europe's unmanned Rosetta probe reached its destination Wednesday, a milestone in mankind's first attempt to land a spacecraft on a comet. The decade-long trip was successfully completed with a seven-minute thrust that allowed Rosetta to swing alongside comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
