This is a Continuation of Application Ser. No. 08/587,062 filed Jan. 16, 1996 now abandoned, which in turn is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/140,780 filed Oct. 21, 1993, now abandoned.
The invention relates to processing data generated by a telecommunications network and applying the result of such processing to other network data to predict the possibility of a particular event happening in the network.
A large telecommunications network typically generates a large number of reports over a short period of time, e.g., twenty-four hours. Such reports include data relating to, for example, telephone traffic, circuit alarms, etc. A Network Management System (NMS) associated with the telecommunications network accumulates and processes the data to track and manage the performance of the network. Such management includes (a) identifying and repairing network problems when they occur, and (b) trends in telephone traffic patterns. For example, consider the way in which an NMS processes trouble alarms, which may be classified as either transient or non-transient. Non-transient alarms are usually indicative of a "hard" fault. Transient alarms, on the other hand, are usually indicative of either a reoccurring and nonreoccurring network problem. A nonreoccurring alarm is usually the result of an inconsequential fault and, therefore, may be ignored. The reason for this is that a nonreoccurring alarm is most likely the result of some external condition, such as, for example, a strike of lightning, causing a momentary loss of a carrier signal at a point in the network. A reoccurring transient alarm, on the other hand, is usually indicative of a chronic problem, for example, a network facility or circuit that fails when particular conditions occur. Such a problem might affect the quality of telecommunications when it occurs.
In most instances, however, it is difficult to distinguish a chronic alarm from a transient, non-chronic alarm. Moreover, the majority of alarms that are generated in a telecommunications network are of the nonreoccurring type. Because of this, an NMS may spend an inordinate amount of time and resources attempting to identify the sources of respective nonreoccurring alarms, thereby possibly delaying the repair of chronic problems.
An advancement in the art of telecommunications is achieved by arranging an operations support system so that, in accord with an aspect of the invention, it generates a rule set from data generated by an associated telecommunications system and then applies the rule set to data subsequently generated by the telecommunications system to predict that a particular event(s) will likely occur in the system. In an illustrative embodiment of the invention, a set of predetermined measurements is generated for the data that is initially obtained from the telecommunications system and then supplied to a particular rule induction method which then generates a number of rules as a function of such measurements and selects a best rule set from the generated rules such that the selected rule set is capable of predicting accurately the occurrence of past events characterized by the data. The rule set is then used to predict future occurrences of the events.
In the FIGS.:
FIG. 1 shows a broad block diagram of an operations system; and
FIG. 2 shows in flow chart form the program which implements the invention in the rule generator of FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 identifies different types of performance measurements used in the system of FIG. 1.
Turning now to FIG. 1 there is shown a broad block diagram of a conventional telecommunications network 200 and operations support system 300. Operations support system 300, more particularly, supports the overall operation of network 200. One aspect of such support deals with tracking the performance of network 200 by accumulating and processing alarm messages generated by individual facilities comprising network 200. An alarm message may be generated by a facility as a result of one of a number of different conditions. Such conditions include (a) a spurious problem that occurs for just a short period of time, (b) a chronic problem that occurs periodically, but which can cause an associated facility to slowly degrade over time, (c) a "hard" failure which may cause the associated facility to become inoperable, etc. The number of such alarms that network 200 may generate within a particular period of time, e.g., 24 hours, could be very high. Such alarms are accumulated by system 300 and stored in database 30. An alarm message includes information identifying a particular problem and the identity of the network 200 facilities that might be affected by the problem.
The alarm messages that are stored in database 30 may be accessed by facility type. For example, all alarm messages associated with a particular type of facility, such as echo cancelers, may be accessed by presenting a request identifying the particular type of facility type to database 30. Such access may be refined by also specifying a particular period of time in the request. In response to the request, database 30 outputs an alarm message that occurred over the specified period of time for the identified type of facility.
One dilemma that an operations support system faces is which of the large number of alarms that are generated on a daily basis should be addressed first. It is apparent that alarms that are generated as a result of a "hard" fault are usually easy to identify and are addressed first. However, the majority of alarms that are generated daily are typically due to spurious conditions and chronic problems. Moreover, it is difficult to determine initially whether an alarm occurred as a result of a spurious condition or a chronic problem. As such, much effort is sometimes directed to tracking down the cause of spurious alarms since they comprise the majority of alarms that occur each day. Accordingly, alarms identifying a chronic problem may not be dealt with until the facility generating such alarms degrades to a hard fault.
Recognizing that problem, we have adapted an operations support system so that it processes alarms to identify chronic problems and prioritize the repair of those problems. To that end, Operations Support System (OSS) 300 includes rule generator 40 and operations system processor 50 which operate in accordance with the invention to identify and prioritize chronic problems. More particularly, role generator 40, which may be, for example, embodied in a SPARC station 2 available from Sun Microsystems, Inc., responds to receipt of a command from an external source, e.g., terminal T2, by sending an access request identifying a facility type and period of time to database 30. As mentioned above, database 30, in response to such a request, outputs all alarm messages that occurred over the specified period of time for the type of facility identified in the request, in which the facility type may be, for example, echo cancelers, T1 carriers, T3 carriers, toll switches, etc. The specified period of time is typically one to several weeks and may be identified by a starting date and an ending date.
Assuming that the requested period of time equals two weeks and the facility type is T1 carriers, then the number of alarm messages of the requested type that database 30 outputs could be very large if network 200 employs an appreciable number of T1 carriers. Upon receipt of the alarm messages, rule generator 40 stores them in its associated memory 41 such that alarm messages associated with a specific facility are stored in a respective memory array. When all such messages have been received from database 30 and stored in memory 41, then rule generator 40 processes the messages and generates, in accord with an aspect of the invention, a set of rules which may be applied to identify which of the alarms stored in memory 41 are indicative of respective chronic problems. The rules are then passed to operations system processor 50, which then applies the rules to alarm messages associated with the same type of facility, but occurring thereafter. Such rules are also passed to processor 60, as discussed below.
The program which controls the operation of rule generator 40 to generate a particular set of rules for the processing of alarm messages is shown in flow chart form in FIG. 2. Specifically, the program is entered at block 2000 responsive to receipt of the aforementioned command. At block 2000, the program proceeds to block 2001 where it forms a request message containing the identity of the facility type and particular period of time, as discussed above. The program then supplies the message to database 30. As mentioned above, database 30, in turn, (a) unloads the alarm messages from its associated memory for the specified facility type and for the specified period of time and (b) passes them to rule generator 40. Rule generator 40, in turn and under control of the program, stores the messages in associated memory 41, as mentioned above. When such alarm messages have been so stored, the program then proceeds to block 2002. (Hereinafter the term "alarm" may also be referred to as an event.)
At block 2002, the program processes the stored messages to obtain a number of different performance measurements for each facility of the specified type. The measurements summarize spatial and temporal information about a facility and associated problems. Such measurements may include the number of (a) different types of alarm messages that occurred for the specific facility, (b) times an alarm (event) occurred during a unit of time for the facility, (c) units of time or (d) the location of the facility, during which the alarm (event) occurred. As will be discussed below, such measurements are determined for first and second windows, W1 and W2, comprising the aforementioned specified period of time. In addition, each window is partitioned into units of time for the purpose of performing such measurements. (An illustrative list of such performance measurements, or features, is shown in FIG. 3)
Specifically, the program blocks 2002 associated with the specified facility. Once it identifies such messages, then the program generates the different performance measurements for each window, W1 and W2, and for the units of time associated with those windows. In addition, the program accesses database 20 to determine the circuit layout for the facility within network 200. The circuit layout includes the identities of the other network 200 elements that may be connected directly to the facility. The program then performs the same processing steps for a next facility of the specified type. The program exits the do loop and proceeds to block 2005 upon processing the alarm messages for all of the facilities of the specified type.
At block 2005 the program builds a data file, in which a record of the data file comprises a number of fields for entering respective performance measurements derived for a specific facility and the circuit layout for the facility. The data file also includes a header which identifies the fields forming a record and identifies the contents of the fields. The program proceeds to block 2006 once it has completed the building of the data file. At block 2006, the program enters a rule generation program, which processes the data file using rule induction methods to generate a set of rules for the specified type of facility. For example, a set of rules of the form "if A is >B, then choose class 1", where A may represent a performance measurement, B may represent a particular value and class 1 may represent a chronic problem.
(It is noted that the rule induction program represented by block 2006 follows the rule induction technique disclosed in an article entitled "Reduced Complexity Rule Induction", by S. Weiss and N. Indurkhya and published in the Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), Sydney, Australia, 1991, pages 678-684, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Alternatively, a number of rule induction programs are commercially available, such as the C4.5 program available from Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, San Mateo, Calif., U.S.A.).
Briefly, rule induction methods attempt to find a compact rule set that completely covers and separates various classes of data, e.g. alarm messages respectively relating to spurious and chronic problems. A covering set of rules is found by heuristically searching for a single best rule that covers different cases, e.g., records in the data file, for only one class. Once a best conjunctive rule is found for a particular class e.g., chronic or nonchronic problems, the rule is then added to the rule set and the cases satisfying it are removed from further consideration. This process is repeated until there are no remaining cases to be covered. Once a covering rule set is found that separates the classes, the induced set of rules is further refined by using either pruning or statistical techniques. The initial covering rule set is then scaled back to the most statistically accurate subset of rules using training and testing evaluation methods.
When the program has generated a number of sets of rules, it applies those rule sets to the test data portion of the data file generated at block 2005. In doing so, it prunes the rule sets so that an error rate defining the accuracy of each rule set may be minimized when applied to the test data. That is, the program strives to improve the accuracy of a rule set to predict the occurrence of chronic as well as nonchronic alarms. Following the foregoing, the program then proceeds to block 2007.
The program at block 2007 selects a rule set from the sets of rules generated at block 2006, in which the selection is based on a specification provided by an external source, for example, a user or another program. Such a specification may request a rule set having a particular predictive accuracy for a certain class of problems, such as chronic problems. The specification may also include coverage for a particular class of problems. Coverage as defined herein is a measure of the range of particular problems, e.g., chronic problems, that a rule set can predict accurately. For example, the following illustrates one possible rule set: ##EQU1## where x1 through x5 are particular values that are generated by the rule generator. The coverage of the above rule set may be increased by adding, for example, the following rule to form a rule set of 2.
If (CT2 & ALRCT>x6 & ALRH>x7) then choose chronic;
where x6 and x7 are also values generated by the rule generator.
It is noted, however, that increasing the coverage of a rule set may lead to a decrease in the predictive accuracy of the rule set. The reason for this is that as the number of cases that are covered increases it is likely that errors will occur.
When the program at block 2007 selects a rule set in accordance with the externally provided specification, it then proceeds to block 2008, where it outputs the rule set to processor 50 and processor 60. The program then proceeds to block 2009 where it checks to see it is done, that is, if the program has been directed to generate a rule set for another type of facility. If that is the ,case, then the program proceeds to block 2010 where it obtains the identity for the specified facility and then returns to block 2001. Otherwise, the program exits.
Returning to FIG. 1, operations system processor 50 applies the rule set to new alarm messages that it obtains from communications network 200 so that it can accurately predict the occurrence of a particular chronic problem and output a message to that effect via path 51. In this way, processor 50 may direct attention away from spurious problems (nonchronic problems) and focus attention on chronic problems so that such problems may be dealt with before they degrade into a hard fault.
The rule set outputted by rule generator 40 may also be used to predict trends in the occurrence of chronic problems. Quality control processor 60 uses the rule set to determine such trends, and uses the trends in conjunction with other quality control criteria, e.g., the rate at which chronic problems are being repaired, to evaluate the performance of network 200. For example, if a trend indicates that a particular section of network 200 may exceed its number of allowable chronic problems for given period of time, then processor 60 uses that trend to output a performance value for that section of network 200.
As mentioned above, rule induction can be applied to other applications as a way of generating rule sets for those applications. For example, one application may be traffic data in which rule induction may be applied to such data to generate a set of rules that may be used to predict particular trends in future traffic patterns. In particular, traffic data may be collected over period of time and stored in a database, e.g., database 30. The above-described program at block 2001 (FIG. 2) may then access that data as well as data indicative of the topology of the network in the manner discussed above. The program may then divide the traffic data into respective windows W1 and W2, and then generate a rule set for the data. The measurements made in W1 are used to predict the measurements in W2. If the prediction is accurate, then the rule set may be used to predict future traffic patterns, in which such patterns may be, for example, predicting appropriate levels of blocking for particular telephone mutes.
As another example, when a disaster strikes a particular area, e.g., a hurricane, particular controls are activated to automatically block low priority calls so that such calls do not impact the processing and routing of high priority calls. The levels of such controls can be predicted accurately by processing traffic data accumulated during a previous disaster, in accord with the invention, to generate a rule set that can be used to predict such levels of control.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to devise numerous arrangements, which, although not explicitly shown or described herein, nevertheless embody those principles that are within the spirit and scope of the invention.

GANYARD: It could be in a lot of places. There's literally tens of thousands of miles of ocean that are going to have to be searched. Because we have this black hole where there's no radar data, we don't know the heading, the true altitude, the air speed, where that aircraft could go. So, it's going to take a lot of time to find that wreckage.
RADDATZ: And that black hole is why?
GANYARD: The black hole is there because the radar coverage only extends off the Malaysian coast so far and only extends off the Vietnam coast so far. So there's this gap in here. The world is a huge place. And it's not big enough to be covered by radar.
Now if you're going to fly from Europe, you're going to be scene. If you're going to fly over the North Pacific, there will be data link and satellites, but a lot of the world is not covered by radar and sometimes planes are out there alone and unafraid -- they know where they are because they have GPS. But nobody else knows until they communicate.
RADDATZ: In the past, you've told ABC -- you've kind of been dead-on on your predictions on what might have brought an airplane down. This one is so mysterious.
Does your gut tell you anything on this one?
GANYARD: It doesn't tell me anything, which I think means that we're going to have to keep the aperture open in terms of what we consider. Normally on this, I would not say that we would look at terrorism, but an airplane just does not come down or disappear at 35,000 feet. Everything is going to have to be considered. And I think terrorism we'll have to be one of those elements.
RADDATZ: And, Pierre, this could take a long, long time, even if they find the airplane.
THOMAS: Yes. They are saying they have to follow the evidence. And the key, again, is find that wreckage. They're very frustrated that they don't have any clue yet in terms of physical evidence. And the one thing I would add is that this comes against the backdrop of all those concerns about toothpaste container bombs, shoe bombs. The law enforcement and intelligence community was already keyed up and now they're more so.
RADDATZ: OK, thanks very much, Pierre and Steve.
Now to that escalating war of words between President Obama and Vladimir Putin over Ukraine. This morning, Russia tightening its grip on the strategic region of Crimea, despite warnings from the White House. ABC's Alex Marquardt is in the middle of it all in Crimea, where in just days, a critical vote will determine if the country splits apart -- good morning, Alex.
ALEX MARQUARDT, ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Martha.
These forces are part of what is believed to be a growing Russian presence. Here in Crimea this morning, their control tightening by the minute.
Of course, Russia is denying these troops are even theirs.
MARQUARDT (voice-over): On the move, large unmarked convoys of troops believed to be Russian, this weekend crisscrossing the Crimean Peninsula. The Ukraine/Crimea border reportedly now littered with land mines planted by pro-Russian forces, who, for the past three days, have blocked international military monitors from entering Crimea, even firing warning shots.
In just 10 days, Russia has seized Crimea -- border crossings, airports, government buildings and military bases, just a handful still in Ukrainian control, but surrounded.

2/12/2015This game used to be great, it was my favorite game and my kids too. Now it has changed and it is horrible, absolutely horrible. Even the music is bad. I am deleting it
1/27/2015When you play this game you are set up for failure. I would give this game zero stars if I could. Also it's so stupid. It's about an alien and a dog that race each other for a hamburger 🍔.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
11/26/2014Don't know how I got this thing in Spanish but no apparent way to switch it back!

10/10/2014Extraordinarily awful! Edit: 2 months after my first impression and many attempts of achieving something with this game, I've finally given up. It's useless. Frustrating as the most one and not rewarding at all. There are much better options on the store.

34 year old woman | Wilmington, NC, USA | Seeking men 27-35 within 50 miles
Life is meant to be enjoyed :)
For me, its the little things in life that mean the most. Most people always notice me smiling. I try to look at the bright side of things and would be thrilled to find a "glass half full" kinda guy. I am blessed with great friends and family that are important to me. I moved to Wilmington in July 2009 from Richmond, Va. Due to the demands of my job it was hard to meet new friends at first. My brother and his wife meet on here years ago so after much coaxing from them I decided to give it a whirl. I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason and have a strong faith and peace of mind that everything, even thru more difficult times, will eventually work out. Its sad to hear people complain about so much when we've been blessed with minds that can we can control.... most don't realize happiness is a choice. I've meet some great people here so far and Wilmington has really become my home away from home. I'm always excited and always stoked to meet new people! I am not only looking for a romantic relationship but a best friend too. I think sometimes people lose respect or expect too much or whatever gets misconstrued without that initial friendship. I'm pretty laid back and would love to find someone who can kick back and chill with me from time to time, but can also get excited like a little kid in a candy store when we're doing something super fun!! :) I'm looking for that "partner in crime" that makes me laugh. Humor is incredibly important in life and nothing brightens my day more then making someone else day that much better even if thru a joke or sincere compliment. If you're a funny guy no doubt I will love you! Extra plus if you can have a beer or two and watch football with me! I'm consider myself a strong independent woman but more so in the fact that I''m proud and grateful to have the means and knowledge to take care of myself without being dependent. I am responsible and know how to get what I need to get done, but will always take a minute to stop & smell the roses. Life is too short not to enjoy what you can. It's one of the reasons I love kids.... to see the world thru their eyes is amazing and just enhances my gratitude about life and how blessed we all are. With all that said, If you're looking for a good-natured down to earth southern gal that makes you smile, I'd look forward to hearin from ya!

BREAKING: Illinois Legislature Passes Marriage Equality [UPDATED]
The Illinois House of Representatives finally took up marriage equality today and passed the bill 61-54. One amendment was approved first, which includes exemptions for private clubs that are already provided under the Illinois Human Rights Act. As a result, the Senate will have to approve the bill one final time, which they are prepared to do before the evening is over. The law will then take effect June 1, 2014,. Illinois will be the 15th state to legalize marriage for same-sex couples.
The Illinois Senate passed the bill as well, by a 32 to 21 majority, sending it to Gov. Pat Quinn (D), who has promised to sign it.

much slower than oral or inhalation exposure, and less than 2% of the applied dose is absorbed. Once absorbed, pyrethroids are distributed to most tissues, especially to those with a high lipid concentration. Pyrethroids are metabolized mainly via ester hydrolysis and oxidation at several loci of the structure. For example, permethrin is detoxified to at least 80 metabolites, including products hydroxylated at the cis and trans methyl groups (Casida et al., 1983). Metabolic enzymes include esterases and P450s. Most of the metabolites are inactive. Half-life varies among the different pyrethroid compounds, but range from 6.4 to 16.5 h in humans, with the elimination mostly complete within 5 d (ATSDR, 2001b). The metabolites are generally excreted as alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, and their glycine, sulfate, glucuronide and glucoside conjugates (ATSDR, 2001b).
No information specific to pyrethroids is available on genetic polymorphisms. Young rats have been shown to be more sensitive than adults to an acute lethal dose of type II pyrethroids, but no differences in age-related sensitivity were seen in response to lower doses. No age differences in sensitivity to type I pyrethroids were seen (Sheets, 2000). Other investigators, however, have demonstrated that fetal or young rats and mice are sensitive to the neurochemical and neurobehavioral effects of pyrethroids (Aziz et al., 2001; Eriksson and Fredriksson, 1991; Husain et al., 1994; Lazarini et al., 2001).
Type I and type II pyrethroids exert their toxicity by affecting the voltage-gated sodium channels of neurons (Narahashi, 1996, 2001; Soderlund et al., 2002; Vijverberg and van den Bercken, 1990). Slowing of the kinetics of activation and inactivation of the gates of the sodium channel by the pyrethroids results in a prolonged opening of individual sodium channels from the normal few milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds by type I pyrethroids and as long as several seconds by type II pyrethroids.
Type I and type II pyrethroids produce the T syndrome and the CS syndrome, respectively (see "Experimental Data" for descriptions of symptoms). In both syndromes, sodium currents of whole cells are greatly prolonged, and this leads to an increase in the depolarizing after-potential or a membrane depolarization. In the T syndrome, type I pyrethroids increase and prolong the depolarizing after-potential and generate repetitive after-discharges. In the CS syndrome, type II pyrethroids generally cause membrane depolarization that evokes repetitive discharges. There is also evidence that type II pyrethroids block the chloride-ion channel of the γ-aminobutyric acid-receptor channel complex (Ecobichon, 2001). To increase the depolarizing after-potential to the threshold for inducing repetitive discharges, only about 1% of the sodium-channel population of rat brain

The Edna Valley is located on the south Central Coast of California a few miles southeast of the town of San Luis Obispo. The valley spans in an east-west orientation and is open to the Pacific Ocean to the west. It lies in Southern California at 34 degrees latitude and therefore receives a lot of intense sunlight from a "directly overhead" sun.
The climate is strongly influenced by regular summertime afternoon cool breezes from the ocean.
2008 was indeed a year of extremes on the Central Coast. There was a spring frost, then a short period in June when temperatures peaked above 100 °F, while a series of October freezes resulted in all-time lows in San Luis Obispo. This was the second drought year in a row, and there were brush fires throughout California.
This is a deeply colored, aromatic and rich Pinot Noir. The aromas are reminiscent of black cherries, plums, savory herbs and spicy clove; it is a medium to full bodied wine with complex Pinot Noir flavors and fine tannins.

Mount Washington Transit Tunnel closed for weekend
The Port Authority will close the Mount Washington Transit Tunnel to buses and rail vehicles all day Saturday and Sunday during work on the ventilation system.
Red Line and Blue Line service will detour via the former Allentown route and won't serve Station Square. Subway Local service will operate between Downtown and Station Square on Saturday. Riders wishing to reach Station Square on Sunday will need to transfer to buses at South Hills Junction or in Downtown.
Seven bus routes also will be detoured for the weekend, using Arlington and Warrington avenues to bypass the tunnel closure. Regular routing is expected to resume for the start of service on Monday.
Alternating one-way traffic is occurring on the Mansfield Bridge, which spans the Monongahela River between Dravosburg and McKeesport, until 3 p.m. today for pavement patching.
The ramps from southbound Route 28 to the Veterans Bridge and from the bridge to northbound Route 28 will be closed this weekend, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced. Crews will install signs and pavement markings during the closure from 8 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. The work was scheduled for last weekend but postponed by rain. PennDOT is recommending that drivers consider alternate routes.
The detour for southbound Route 28 is to exit onto East Ohio Street, right onto Madison Avenue, continuing onto East Street and crossing the Parkway North to the Venture Street on-ramp to the inbound parkway toward the Veterans Bridge. It's a bit of a haul. Bridge traffic will be detoured by continuing outbound on the Parkway North to Hazlett Street; right on East Street; and left on East Ohio Street to the ramp to Route 28.
Traffic will be stopped briefly in both directions on the Parkway East in Wilkins and Monroeville on Sunday morning while Comcast strings new lines over the highway. The first stoppage of about 10 minutes will be at 9 a.m. at the Rodi Road exit; the second will be at 11 a.m. west of the Monroeville-Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange.
Lane closures are possible from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday during inspections of overhead signs in the following places: Route 19 (both directions) at the I-79 interchange in Marshall; I-79 (both directions) at the Glenfield/Route 65 interchange; inbound Parkway North at the off-ramp to Camp Horne Road (shoulder closure only).
Lane closures are possible from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday on the inbound Parkway West between Carnegie and Parkway Center and during the same hours on Sunday outbound in the same area during overhead sign inspections.
Center lane closures will occur on the outbound lower deck of the Fort Pitt Bridge from 10 p.m. Thursday to 2 a.m. Friday near the off-ramp to West Carson Street for crash barrier repairs.

ELIZABETHTOWN - Essex County District Attorney Julie Garcia is recommending that the position of Stop DWI coordinator become full-time as it was more than a decade ago.
Since that time, the duties of the position have been assigned to Essex County Clerk Joe Provoncha, but Garcia said Provoncha juggles many job titles and said the post deserves the full-time attention of one person.
Addressing the members of the county public safety committee Monday, March 9, Garcia also questioned if Provoncha's position as commissioner of jurors might be in conflict with his job as Stop DWI coordinator.
As an example, Garcia said Provoncha accepts money from fines paid by DWI prosecution and then determines how that money should be spent to curb impaired driving and under-age drinking.
The question sparked a long debate among the supervisors, some of whom were concerned that the discussion might make it look as if Provoncha was doing something improper or an inadequate job.
"It seems careless to toss Joe's name around this room, as if he's doing anything wrong or caused a conflict of interest," said St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency.
Other supervisors, however, were quick to blame the system and not the person.
"We are the ones who assigned him all these titles," Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said. "Joe does an excellent job, but you need to have transparency in government."
Garcia agreed.
"Clearly this isn't personal," she said. "When we become uncomfortable asking questions, I think government suffers. Government's not always comfortable."
County Manager Dan Palmer said there is pressure to accomplish as much work as possible with as little tax dollars as possible, which is why Provoncha ended up wearing so many hats.
Besides stop DWI coordinator and commissioner of jurors, Provoncha also serves as deputy county manager, and director of the youth bureau, traffic safety and parks and recreation.

I really don't disagree that the results are not dead on as they would be with C41. The negatives do print very well, and the process gives very repeatable results. For that reason, I posted what I'd found. I thought perhaps that anyone that had experimented with Dignan's formula might find that this worked better for them, as it can be tailored to each film type and easily altered for contrast. I would think that it would be quite suitable for XP2. And I plan to continue to tinker with it in hopes of finding exactly the right amount of bromide and iodide to make it more acceptable. I wouldn't for a moment suggest that it matches or exceeds the quality and results from C41.
By the way, when I worked with Dignan's formula, I found that doubling the carbonate and the CD4 helped a lot, and I also found that Kodak films liked some potassium bromide and not potassium iodide, and the other way around for Fuji. Had some success, but not enough to continue fooling with it. I liked the one shot small chemistry approach better.

I remember playing this a few years before on my friend's PS3 and I thought it was fantastic. A lot of the time, all I did was wander around, ignoring even the main story. Now that I'm playing the 360 version, I'm farther in the story than I was before, but even then, I've still been mucking around, this time focusing on other objectives. Currently trying to get all the recommendations I can from the Mages Guilds, already I suffered through Vampirism (got it cured though), among many other goals.
That's it for me! To end on a P.S., thus far the only western Jackie Chan film I can tolerate (and enjoy, though the film could still be better for a few reasons) is The Forbidden Kingdom (his co-op with Jet Li).

When children are murdered, let us call each child by name and name what has been done to her in the name of some cause she will never know or understand. To call a murdered child a suicide bomber is to violate her all over again, says Professor Tina Beattie, in the wake of Boko Haram's deadliest yet attacks in northern Nigeria.
Egypt's President has told the World Economic Forum that he has "hope" in the country's youth, despite evidence his government has imprisoned hundreds of minors.

So we, cook it, cut it, measure it, bag it
Sell it, the fiends cop it, nowadays they can't tell if
That's that good shit, we ain't sure man
Put the CD on your tongue, yeah that's pure man
from Kanye West (Ft. Game) – Crack Music Lyrics on Genius
Literally speaking like the music is crack-cocaine. Cooking it (solidifying the product; recording the album, producing the beats), cutting it (adding something to the product to make it appear like more; lyrical fillers, skits), measuring it (putting enough of the product in each unit to sell), and bag it (product and distribute the product; CDs, tours, etc.)
The "fiends" that would usually cop (buy) the "drugs" are the fans buying the music. The next verse is the the fans and critics reactions to the product; "it's awesome man!" says the fans, but the critics say "we're not sure if it's that good"
The final verse is a reference to rubbing coke on your tongue or teeth, if it becomes numb, it's decent cocaine; in Kanye's case, the ears function as the "tongue test" for musical quality. This part could be referring to people reciting every line and verse from every song that's in their heads all day.
Nowadays though, the CD player is substituted by the iPod/MP3 player…
CD could also refer to the College Dropout

Nelson Lichtenstein: Wal-Mart's Authoritarian Culture
MONDAY'S Supreme Court decision to block a class-action sex-discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart was a huge setback for as many as 1.6 million current and former female employees of the world's largest retailer. But the decision has consequences that range far beyond sex discrimination or the viability of class-action suits.
The underlying issue, which the Supreme Court has now ratified, is Wal-Mart's authoritarian style, by which executives pressure store-level management to squeeze more and more from millions of clerks, stockers and lower-tier managers....
There used to be a remedy for this sort of managerial authoritarianism: it was called a union, which bargained over not only wages and pensions but also the kind of qualitative issues, including promotion and transfer policies, that have proved so vexing for non-unionized employees at Wal-Mart and other big retailers.
For a time it seemed as if the class-action lawsuit might be a partial substitute. By drastically limiting how a class-action suit can be brought, the Supreme Court leaves millions of service-sector workers with few avenues to escape the grinding work life and limited opportunities that so many now face....

So for the 1st 2 days it was rapids and awesome views with cool side hiking trips to check out stuff along the way.
I have to say that Canyoneers does it right. The 1st night we camped we had prime rib, garlic roasted potatoes, veggies, salad and cheesecake for desert. On the 2nd night we had halibut, veggies, rice, salad and chocolate cake for desert.
Not bad considering we were pretty removed form civilization and not a single cell phone was working. No electricity, no gaming systems, no cell phones, no computers, no sounds of cars or other modern static noise that we get so used to in our everyday lives. I was in HEAVEN!
A couple more pics and then I'll get on with the adventure....
Rough place to camp at huh???

Phantom Ranch is a historic ranch that settlers used for many years. Good place to get "rested" (it's bunk bed, shared living so "rest" is a loose term when your bunk mates saw logs all night) for a night before starting the 9.1 mile long, 5,000+ foot climb out of the Grand canyon we had to do the next day....

Hi all,
I notice that the Genesis characters will tense up the appropriate muscles when a limb is moving, but I cannot figure out how to force these muscles to relax again when the movement has stopped. The muscles remain tense in repose, and it looks wrong.
Any experts out there who have handled this before?
Many thanks!

MTV had a good plan there for a while: producing shows that feature the dumbest, bottom-of-the-barrel members of society, taking advantage of their ignorance, exploiting the sh-t out of them, and then watching as the ratings roll in.
Now that the tan-tastic cast of Jersey Shore is holding out for more money, it looks like their plan is backfiring. MTV has created monsters that know too much and are turning against them.
The only cast members that are reported to have signed on for season 4 are Vinny, Ronnie, and Sammi. And if the forth season starts where it left off, that might be enough! Not that I watch Jersey Shore or anything. (Whispers: Team Ronnie).
An insider told RadarOnline.com that, "Snooki, The Situation, J-Woww and Pauly D have not finalized their contracts because they can't agree on the amount. As of last week, Deena hadn't signed her contract either."
You know MTV is gonna make a deal. Because what else are people going to watch? The trailer trash documentary that is "Teen Mom"? No, thank you, I will not watch that show. I will not dumb myself down to find out whether how Chelsea will get the $2,000 in child support her ex, Adam, owes her.
Nor will a tune in to cry as Leah and Corey find out why one of their twins isn't developing as fast as the other, and it's luckily not a problem in her spine, but we're still not sure what it is but it's definitely some kind of syndrome. Nope, I sure don't watch Teen Mom.

I am really close with my family and I have a group of friends that I an really close with. I think my friends would describe me as someone that is loyal and that they can count on when they need advice or help. It is pretty easy to make me smile or laugh. I have a lot of energy and like to joke around a lot. I am proud of my accomplishments in college and in my career. I am interested in running, cars, horse racing, movies, music, traveling, sports and many other things. I try to make it to the gym to lift weights or run outside a few times a week to keep in shape. Sometimes I go kayaking to get away from everything. Exercise has always been important to me. I ran cross country and track all through high school at Severna Park. Socially I like going out to dinner, movies, traveling, visiting friends and family, going to sporting events, playing poker. My favorite TV shows are Top Gear, Entourage and the Boardwalk Empire. I am a big time Baltimore Ravens and Orioles fan. Some of my favorite movies are Godfather, Rocky, Gone in 60 seconds, Boondock Saints, Last Man Standing, Casino, Goodfellas, but I like just about any movie.

That's what Steve Rattner's wife, the man likely to be nominated as Obama's "Car Czar," told the policeman who found her "stopped at the raised EZPass gate, failing to proceed through, with a line of vehicles honking" behind her Mercedes Benz. When the cop approached, Rattner's wife "stared blankly...with glassy eyes and stated in sum and substance: Where do I go now?" Somehow the arrest, which happened on October 28 of last year, managed to stay out of the papers. The Daily News had the story up for a few hours, but then it disappeared, and the New York Post and New York Times never reported the story at all. Michael Wolff, who picks the story up here, writes:
In other words, an incident that any other person seeking high office should expect to be covered wasn't. At least not for very long.
It is possible, of course, that the Daily News website has malfunctioned. And that the Times and the Post were asleep at the switch. And that the Rattners are the luckiest public couple in New York. Anything is possible.
It seems Rattner's is being considered for the wrong job. A guy who can get both the Times and the Post to disappear an ugly story ought to be running your communications shop.

There "were" some stainless steel 1 gallon tanks made that would take 3 or 4 8x10 SS film hangers, but the most common "tank" for developing moderate quantities of sheet film up to 8x10 is the 3.5 gallon "deep" tank.
Actually, there still are. They are special-order through Adorama (Arkay #81-4) and quite expensive at around $85 each. The quality is not up to that of yesteryear, but they are still available. (One of the great virtues of stainless tanks is the rapid temperature transfer if they are sitting in a tempering bath; this is also one of the drawbacks if they are not.)
It seems that there should be hundreds of these floating around on the used market, since they were used for dental x-ray, among other things; for some reason, they don't seem to turn up as often as I would expect.

The latest release of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK (v5.0.14) includes an update to the Xrm.Page Script Library Template. The Xrm.Page Script Library Template is a solution that helps you write and test form scripts using Visual Studio. The main improvements are:
When I originally released the Xrm.Page Script Library Template (almost 2 years ago now), I was somewhat disappointed that the JavaScript IntelliSense was not as robust as I had hoped. Now, though, I'm very happy to say that with Visual Studio 2012, IntelliSense for JavaScript is greatly improved. For more information, see Scott Hanselman's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNfDird7hWI.
For more information about the Xrm.Page Script Library Template, see the original post: JScript IntelliSense for Form Script Libraries.
Happy scripting

This is a great tool!! It just might get me to switch from Notepad++
I can't get the eContext object to work. Is that supposed to get generated in the Xrm.Page Snapshot? (if so that were I have the problem UR8)
eContext is generated by the Xrm.Page Snapshot. see rc.crm.dynamics.com/.../XrmPageScriptDevelopmentProjectHelp.htm
for more information.
