While there are still several influential politicians who would like to say otherwise, the fact of the matter is that banning plastic grocery bags actually does help the environment. Plastic bags are a source of literally billions of tons of waste and simply adding a service charge at grocery stores can significantly reduce the amount of landfill we create.
One of the biggest success stories is China. In 2008, the Chinese government made it illegal for store owners to give out plastic bags for free. Shop owners had to charge a fee – as long as it was not lower than the actual price of the bag – and were allowed to keep the profits for themselves. Before this law, the average Chinese consumer would receive around 21 plastic bags a week and would rarely use the same bags twice. After the first year of the program, the ban saved the country 40 billion plastic bags (1.6 million tons of oil) and even led to the closure of the state's largest plastic bag manufacturer. Now in its second year, the ban has saved around 100 billion plastic bags. Despite poor law enforcement, in 2010, research done by a student at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden showed that the people in China have reduced their plastic bag consumption by nearly half, with almost half of these bags being reused. Haoran He, the researcher of this paper, also notes that nearly 60 percent of all stores still give out their bags for free due to fierce competition between stores. Rather than allowing stores to set their own price, he suggests having a government-mandated price with the profits set aside to finance various environmental measures. In fact, plastic bags are banned or restricted in over 25 countries around the world, including Taiwan, Ireland, Singapore, Belgium, South Africa and Italy.
Still, many other countries are struggling to rid themselves of this petroluem byproduct. The US has found success on a city level. The nation's capitol, Washington D.C., levied a 5 cent tax on all plastic grocery bags at the beginning of 2010. Within weeks, the city saw plastic bag numbers drop from 22.5 million to 3 million, while at the same time generating nearly $150,000 in revenue. These revenues were used to help fund the clean up of the Anacostia River. More recently, Los Angeles county passed a sweeping ban that will push a 10 cent tax on all plastic grocery bags on over 1,000 stores in unincorporated areas. This ordinance will affect 1.1 million people and reach its goal by 2012. Despite city-wide support for the plastic bans, many state officials are still arguing against these plastic bans, stating that the ban would cost 1,000 jobs, levy $1 billion in "hidden taxes" and create a new bureacracy worth millions to oversee the law.
Not surprisingly, many of those against the bans are those involved in the plastic bag industry. A California state-wide bill to ban plastic bags was killed in November of 2010 by special interest groups, namely Hilex Poly Co (plastic bag manufacturer) and American Chemistry Council. Both companies spent nearly $2 million to sway public opinion against the ban. The American Chemistry Council represents the interest of chemical companies, 80 percent of which produce plastic bags and have set up a site stating the environmental benefits of plastic bags compared to paper bags. According to Paper Bag Facts (a site created by the Progressive Bag Affiliates of the American Chemistry Council):
According to an LA County Environmental Study on the banning of plastic bags, should 85 percent of people using plastic turn to paper bags (in a conservative worst-case scenario) there "would [be an] increase [of] emissions of GHGs by approximately 54 metric tons per day, which is approximately 19,700 metric tons per year, or 0.002 metric tons per capita per year." There is currently no evidence that more people would switch to paper bags should plastic be banned, though currently only 2 percent of stores offer a reusable option. Should more stores offer reusable bags, a minimum use of three times would have the same GHG impact as a single-use plastic bag, and impacts would reduce more after further use. Even if people switch to paper bags, 38.7 percent of paper bags are recycled versus 11.9 percent of plastic bags, leading to less overall waste.
While the banning of plastic bags may seem like a good idea, states, cities and countries need to push reusable bags rather than paper bags on the general populace. When looked at overall, the banning of plastics have significantly decreased waste in landfills and when coupled with affordable and easily accesible reusable bags, could result in much lower GHG emissions.

In New Zealand, I wrote a letter to Countdown in Gore, requesting they start using natural fibre bags for their customers; 10 years on to today, most supermarkets here sell reuseable shopping bags, thats throughout NZ. The oil companys want to drill here for oil in the Hawkesbay where I live, I've a permanent protest sign against this ever happening here in my country, my nation of New Zealand, Ive written to parliament to stop plastic bag manufacture too. I will be standing as an Independent politician for Ikaroa/Tairawhiti region. Im a princess thats had enough of this facist hung National government, their legacy is chemical warfare, and thats detestable and suppressive. Many engineers with money and power have meet with me as I am an Environmentalist and my word is my sword!
As someone who will carry off 6 bags of groceries even though I go in for a handful of items, I know how difficult it can be to remember a tote, let alone maybe 5 totes. There's the need to find room in the car to keep em, or to remember to bring them back to your car after you unload the groceries in the first place. Lots of little things to remember.
I like these reusable tote bags because they are durable and easy on my budget (http://www.shop123go.com/reusable-tote-bags). As long as companies don't go charging a lot for a those of us who need more than 5 per car of a simple tote bag, i don't think the transition will be difficult to get used too...
Perhaps a limit to the number of plastic bags used at a single visit could produce less waste or reusables distributed in an attractive fashion to encourage them instead.
This ban should be country wide in all large cities.
wow, China actually did something worthy of respect.
I wish they would charge tax fees on plastic bags here.
I like the idea of charging for the bags and profits going to clean up the environment!
thank you
Of course, the congressmen that create the controversy about this, are republican.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been the target of a ton of criticism this season. Much of it has been warranted, some of it has not. Whether or not he deserves the latest heat that ESPNŌĆÖs Rick Reilly put on him is open for debate. On Tuesday, Reilly tweeted that Newton held up the Panthers team bus after their win over the Eagles on Monday night ŌĆö something he also supposedly did earlier in the season while sulking after a loss. Cam Newton is really quick, until itŌĆÖs time to get dressed. Took him 54 minutes last night. Then did media. Team waited on bus for 40 mins. ŌĆö Rick Reilly (@ReillyRick) November 27, 2012 Panthers assistant director of communications Steven Drummond took to Twitter on Wednesday to assure people that ReillyŌĆÖs report is completely fabricated: . @reillyrick report that Cam had team wait 40 minutes on bus is completely false. Cam wasnŌĆÖt even the last player out of the locker room. ŌĆö Steven Drummond (@StevenJuston) November 28, 2012 . @reillyrick Cam also took time to meet with @eagles clubhouse equipment guys after meeting with media. He signed their Wall of Fame. ŌĆö Steven Drummond (@StevenJuston) November 28, 2012 ItŌĆÖs possible that Newton was the last player on the bus if he was indeed meeting with the Eagles clubhouse equipment staff, but it seemed obvious that ReillyŌĆÖs intention was to make him sound selfish. Many people have taken issue with the way Newton has presented himself in press conferences and other media appearances this season, but my gut feeling is that Reilly was reaching here. While I agree Cam has a poor attitude much of the time, there are obligations that he has as the teamŌĆÖs quarterback and franchise player that other players donŌĆÖt have. There are going to be times where he is the last person on the bus for reasons beyond his control. This may have been one of those times. H/T Pro Football Talk

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that new Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell is unlikely to keep Mike Mularkey in place as their head coach next season. Caldwell worked with Mularkey while in Atlanta, but there has been a good of speculation that Caldwell would consider replacing him with 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Schefter adds that "no final decisions have been made" just yet, so there's at least a remote a chance that Mularkey could survive to coach another season with the team.

Not the trade some were expecting, but a trade nonetheless. The Dodgers sent John Ely, the perpetrator of "Elymania" a few years ago to Houston for left-handed pitcher Rob Rasmussen. With the Dodgers signing Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu, while also shopping starters Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang, Ely was about 15th on the starting pitcher depth chart. It's nice he's going to get a chance somewhere else, as the Astros are coming off a 107-loss season and can use help in the rotation. Then again, Ely hasn't done much since he fast start, as Eric Stephen aptly pointed out on Twitter. "After starting his major league career with a 2.54 ERA with 37 K / 8 BB in 46 IP, John Ely's last 18 apps: 1-11, 62 runs in 69.1 IP" So, there's that. Ely is probably Four-A roster fodder at this point, but it's still a worthwhile risk for Houston. Rasmussen, 23, is a wee man, listed at 5'9, 160 pounds. Surprisingly, he's been a starting pitcher in his minor-league career (60 games, ...

Join author Claudia McCue on a journey that introduces the printing process and reveals the keys to designing a document that prints as well as it looks onscreen. This course takes you on the floors of two commercial print houses (BurdgeCooper and Lithographix), to better understand the life cycle of a print job and observe printing presses in action. Along the way, discover how to better communicate with your printer, choose the correct paper, inks, colors, and fonts for your project, and how to correctly lay out your documents in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. This course is designed to help you and your printer produce a professionally finished print job, whether it's a business card, brochure, or multipage magazine.
lynda.com thanks the BurdgeCooper and Lithographix printing companies for access to their facilities and permission to film on site. Learn more at www.burdgecooper.com and www.lithographix.com.
Most of your jobs are probably going to print using the process colors, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. If you're printing photographs, they do a fabulous job. But there's a limit to the range of colors that can be rendered in CMYK. For example, bright oranges tend to go to sort of brownie, tan, and navy blues tend to become sort of purplish and desaturated. You've probably seen the same effect on your in-house inkjet printer. So what do you do if you have your heart set on a navy blue or a bright orange or any of the other colors that fall outside the range of CMYK? Well, then you use spot colors.
And a spot color is a can of ink that is that color. If you want to print my favorite orange PANTONE 21, you open up a can of that ink, and it's orange all the way through. Now, some considerations when you use spot inks, some inks require special handling, for example, metallics tend to scuff a little bit, so if you're using a metallic in a piece that's going to be printed or mailed, it's going to be handled a lot, you might want to invest in putting a clear coating on the job. That's going to cost a little extra, using the spot color is going to cost a little extra, but it means you get the color that you have your heart set on.
Now, the word PANTONE and the word spot color, those tend to be used sort of interchangeably. But what is PANTONE, it's an ink reference publishing company. So they print books like this. You probably have one on your desk. And there are a number of different ones. PANTONE doesn't necessarily mean spot, there are some PANTONE guides that are just process. But this is my favorite, it's the PANTONE COLOR BRIDGE, and they're very expensive. If you're going to buy one PANTONE reference book, I highly recommend that you buy the COLOR BRIDGE. Now, this is the new version, the new ink system that PANTONE is referencing, and it's called the PANTONE PLUS System.
If you have Illustrator CS6, InDesign CS6, they've moved to PANTONE PLUS as well. Now, if you have an old reference book, don't throw it away, it's still valuable, those reference numbers still mean something to printers. But what I love about the COLOR BRIDGE is that you can compare a spot color and its closest CMYK equivalent, and this can really help you decide, gee is it close enough, maybe we will just run it and process? But if it's not close enough, if you have your heart set on that color, then you know which spot color to specify to the printer, you know which spot color to use when you're creating your artwork, and also in the future when you have a CMYK job, you have a great reference here.
All the CMYK equivalents give you the CMYK values, so this is sort of a 2-for-1, that's why I say if you're going to buy one PANTONE book, make it the COLOR BRIDGE. So when you're planning your job, have a conversation with your printer, tell him the colors you have your heart set on, see what it's going to cost to add the spot color and any possible clear coating that you might need to sort of protect those colors. And the idea here is that you plan ahead, and that way you have everything you want on your job, it looks the way you expect, and you're going to love that piece when it flies out of the press.

18 EUR per adult and 10 EUR per child are not included in the tour price and have to be paid separately on the day.
Customer Reviews
October 2014
The best tour I've ever had. The tour guide was terrific. He made sure we were prepared for the climb and encouraged even the slowest climbers. Definitely a 5 star trip. Thank you viatour!!
October 2014
The ice caves were an amazing experience.
There is a bit of a hike from the parking lot to the caves themselves, even if you take the cable car, so keep that in mind. Best to dress lightly and take a warm jacket for the caves.

JERUSALEM (AP) — In his first visit to Israel, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is calling for a gradual reduction of American foreign aid.
It's an unlikely place to deliver the message, since Israel is among the largest recipients of American assistance. But Paul said in a Monday meeting with reporters that the U.S. can't afford to keep sending money overseas, even to allies like Israel. He says it would be "harder to be a friend of Israel if we are out of money."

Digital mobile radio
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2011)
Digital mobile radio (DMR) is an open digital mobile radio standard defined in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Standard TS 102 361 parts 1–4[1] and used in commercial products around the world. DMR, along with P25 phase II and NXDN are the main competitor technologies in achieving 6.25 kHz equivalent bandwidth using the proprietary AMBE+2 vocoder. DMR and P25 II both use two-slot TDMA in a 12.5 kHz channel, while NXDN uses discreet 6.25 kHz channels using frequency division.
DMR was designed with three tiers. DMR tiers I and II (conventional) were first published in 2005, and DMR III (trunked) was published in 2012, with manufacturers producing products within a few years of each publication.
The primary goal of the standard is to specify a digital system with low complexity, low cost and interoperability across brands, so radio communications purchasers are not locked into a proprietary solution. In practice, many brands have not adhered to this open standard and have introduced proprietary features that make their product offerings non-interoperable.
The DMR interface is defined by the following ETSI standards:
- TS 102 361-1: Air interface protocol
- TS 102 361-2: Voice and generis services and facilities
- TS 102 361-3: Data protocol
- TS 102 361-4: Trunking protocol
The DMR standard operates within the existing 12.5 kHz channel spacing used in land mobile frequency bands globally, but achieves two voice channels through two-slot TDMA technology built around a 30 ms structure. The modulation is 4-state FSK, which creates four possible symbols over the air at a rate of 4,800 symbols/s, corresponding to 9,600 b/s. After overhead, forward error correction, and splitting into two channels, there is 2,450 b/s left for a single voice channel using DMR, compared to 4,400 b/s using P25 and 64,000 b/s with traditional telephone circuits.
DMR covers the RF range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
The DMR Association and manufacturers often claim that DMR has superior coverage performance to analogue FM. Forward error correction can achieve a higher quality of voice when the receive signal is still relatively high. In practice, however, digital modulation protocols are much more susceptible to multipath interference and fail to provide service in areas where analogue FM would otherwise provide degraded but audible voice service. At a higher quality of voice, DMR outperforms analogue FM by about 11 dB. But at a lower quality of voice, analogue FM outperforms DMR by about 5 dB.

DMR Tier I products are for licence-free use in the European 446 MHz band. In the US, the 446 MHz range is primary US Government with the amateur radio service a heavy secondary user. Some DMR radios that make it across the ocean have caused interference issues with licenced amateur operations.
This part of the standard provides for consumer applications and low-power commercial applications, using a maximum of 0.5 watt RF power. There have been no commercial launches of DMR Tier I products to date.[2]
DMR Tier II[edit]
DMR Tier II covers licenced conventional radio systems, mobiles and hand portables operating in PMR frequency bands from 66–960 MHz. The ETSI DMR Tier II standard is targeted at those users who need spectral efficiency, advanced voice features and integrated IP data services in licenced bands for high-power communications. ETSI DMR Tier II specifies two slot TDMA in 12.5 kHz channels. A number of manufacturers have DMR Tier II compliant products on the market.
DMR Tier III[edit]
DMR Tier III covers trunking operation in frequency bands 66–960 MHz. The Tier III standard specifies two slot TDMA in 12.5 kHz channels. Tier III supports voice and short messaging handling similar to TETRA and MPT-1327 with built-in 128 character status messaging and short messaging with up to 288 bits of data in a variety of formats. It also supports packet data service in a variety of formats, including support for IPv4 and IPv6. Tier III compliant products were launched in 2012.
DMR Association[edit]
In 2005, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was formed with potential DMR suppliers including Tait Communications, Fylde Micro, Selex, Motorola, Hytera, Vertex Standard, Kenwood and Icom to establish common standards and interoperability. While the DMR standard does not specify the vocoder, MOU members agreed to use the half rate DVSI Advanced Multi-Band Excitation (AMBE) vocoder to ensure interoperability. In 2009, the MOU members set up the DMR Association to work on interoperability between vendors equipment and to provide information about the DMR standard.[3] Formal interoperability testing has been taking place since 2010. Results are published on the DMR Association web site. There are approximately 40 members of the DMR Association.
The standard allows DMR manufacturers to implement additional features on top of the standards which has led to practical non-interoperability issues between brands, in contravention to the DMR MOU.

Picture: Lady Gaga posted this image of herself on Twitter with the caption: With my buddy Jonas. Being weird for money
Lady GaGa has pretty much achieved all she needs to in the music world, and whilst there's no hint that she's going to give up that dominance any time soon, the theatrics that have always gone hand in hand with her career have often hinted that she could more than easily jump into the world of acting. Well, it's happening. E! Online reports that the 26 year-old has been confirmed for her first leading actress role in the forthcoming film 'MAChete Kills' on Twitter, whilst an early poster for the film has also been revealed, showing Gaga in a typically extravagant outfit.
The news was first broken by 'MAChete Kills' director Robert Rodriguez who wrote "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MACheteKills, she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!" Eager fans then bombarded Gaga's own Twitter profile and she followed quickly with her own confirmation, writing "Yes This is real" and adding later "Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress in the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @ RODRIGUEZ IM SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane."
Scheduled to be released in 2013, 'MAChete Kills' will see Gaga play the character La Chameleon and if the poster is anything to go by then she'll be playing an extremely racy character indeed. Giving her best Marilyn Monroe pose, the singer looks divine in thigh-length stockings whilst - in a typically bold statement - a dead wolf hangs around her body.

IG recommends investment in IT system
The Federal Emergency Management Agency should centralize how it
buys disaster-aid goods and services into a single system
supported by integrated information technology systems, its parent
department's inspector general recommends.
FEMA, part of the Homeland Security Department, currently uses a
combination of warehoused goods, interagency agreements, new contracts
and existing contracts to get disaster supplies and services, and
decisions about disaster relief sourcing don't allow for centralized
decisions, DHS Inspector General Richard Skinner wrote in a report
published Sept. 1.
Also, FEMA's processes for disaster relief sourcing are inefficient,
duplicative, not strategic and not transparent, Skinner wrote.
"We recommend that FEMA adopt the single-point ordering concept
and invest in the necessary information technology systems to make
sourcing and supply movement transparent," Skinner wrote.
FEMA agreed with the recommendation and previously had agreed
in principle that it needs to implement a single-point ordering concept
for disaster relief goods and services, the report said.
"However, implementation of this concept has been limited owing
to existing stovepipes, overreliance on the existing sourcing process,
and poor integration of information technology systems," Skinner wrote.
Earlier this year, FEMA was seeking a contractor
to help develop its Total Asset Visibility program in its logistics
management unit to provide greater transparency into the purchase and
disbursement of disaster-related goods and services.

Jordan Hulls pulled up and knocked down a 3. Then he found Will Sheehey for a pull-up jumper. Then on an alley-oop, and then another 3-pointer for Hulls. It looked so easy. Hulls and Sheehey were the main contributors in a Hoosiers' offensive clinic against Ball State on Sunday evening. The duo combined for 36 points on a remarkable 15-of-19 shooting in Indiana's 101-53 win. Hulls and Sheehey also scored the Hoosiers' final 15 points of the first half. Hulls' play wasn't all that surprising given his clutch performances in two games last week in Brooklyn. But he was particularly aggressive on Sunday, knocking down 7-of-10 shots and 3-of-6 3-pointers for 17 points. "I'm just trying to be more aggressive and do whatever the team needs me to do," Hulls said afterward. "I was just waiting to get in the flow. I just wasn't trying to force anything. I just let it come to me." Sheehey, though, certainly had his struggles at the Barclays Center. The junior forward was just 4-of-10 with thre...

Former Vikings and Redskins DB Fred Smoot got into an argument with his lady. That led to him getting into his vehicle allegedly under the influence. Luckily, no one was hurt on injured, but there definitely was a salty janitor at the police station. During the traffic stop, the officer smelled "a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from [Smoot's] breath and person," Carll said in the affidavit. "[Smoot's] eyes were red and watery." Smoot also appeared angry, Carll said in the affidavit. When asked why, Smoot said "he got into it with his girl at the club," according to the affidavit. Smoot told the Capitol Police officer that he'd had one drink, according to the affidavit, and agreed to a field sobriety test. During a series of tests, Smoot demonstrated "many clues of impairment," including swaying noticeably, Carll said in the affidavit. "During processing, in the service area, while handcuffed, the [defendant] peed his pants creating a puddle on the floor," Carll said in the affidavit. "[A police officer] witnessed the urine running down his pant leg and onto the floor. [Smoot] did not express that he had to use the restroom." Never a good sign to prove you are not drunk when you can't control your bodily fluids. SMARTEN UP NAS

You may get knocks on your door tonight from superheroes, ninjas, princesses and pumpkins, but there's one visitor in your home that's no treat at all and requires a trick or two to stop in its tracks: Mold.
Sooner or later, mold will darken some damp corner of your home. Catching it early and improving ventilation will help control it as we head into the winter months.
"There's no avoiding mold in the Northwest, because its spores are in the air we breathe," said Bob West, energy counselor at Clark Public Utilities. "And unfortunately, mold presents a hazard not only to our homes, but to our bodies as well."
Mold and mildew, a kind of mold, eat anything organic and regenerate using spores. That's why those black spots on the caulk around your bathtub or between your kitchen tiles will grow and spread if left alone.
Mold spores fly into your home from outside. They attach themselves to clothes and pets. Spores sweep in through any opening to the outside — doors, windows and vents. Once inside, they float about like dust particles and fall onto moist places.
A few hundred to tens of thousands of spores per cubic yard can invade your home. Once they settle on a moist spot, they reproduce, or "colonize," rapidly. The colony sprouts millions of spores that float back into the air and eventually settle on every surface of your home.
"We build our houses out of the very stuff molds like to eat: cellulose," West said. "Moisture lurks in our kitchens, bathrooms, crawl spaces, doors, windows, under carpets and behind ceiling tiles. Controlling mold means controlling that moisture."
Improving ventilation
Improving ventilation is the best way to control moisture and mold, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, because these rooms should have ventilation fans. West encourages homeowners to use the "toilet paper test" to check the strength of these vents.
"Take one square of TP and hold it near the vent," he said. "If it sticks to the vent then everything's working. If it fails to, you have a problem. Each fan should push moist air outside at 100 cubic-feet-per-minute."
Bath and kitchen exhaust fans can help keep your home's relative humidity levels below 50 percent, which is a healthy level according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program. "A level of 40 percent is better, but may require adding a dehumidifier to your home," West said.
Molds also pose health hazards. Exposure can cause stuffy noses, sore throats, eye and skin irritation, and wheezing. Anyone with a serious allergy to mold may suffer more severe reactions.
If an area of mold in your home is large — covering more than 10 square feet — seek professional help. Otherwise, you can clean the mold up yourself using common solutions such as bleach, Borax, vinegar, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide or baking soda. Wear ventilated goggles and long rubber gloves that cover up your arms. The EPA also suggests an N-95 respirator so you don't inhale mold. If you have mold in rugs, ceiling tiles or anything porous, you may have to throw them away, because you won't be able to clean them completely.
The EPA website — http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldguide.html — provides a helpful booklet on mold and mold cleanup.
To prevent further mold growth and keep the problem at bay, fix any leaky plumbing and make sure moist areas are well-ventilated. Never paint or caulk over moldy surfaces.
"Mold occurs naturally, but by keeping excess moisture out of the home and diligently cleaning up mold when it appears, homeowners can reduce the chances of mold damaging their home or their health," West said.Energy adviser is written by Clark Public Utilities.

The Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) is the UNM campus supercomputing Center and the largest academic computing center in the State of New Mexico, with over 3000 cores, 15 TFlops aggregate compute power, and ~1 PB of RAID5/RAID6 enterprise storage. CARC's resources are available without charge to all faculty, student, and staff researchers at the University, through support from the UNM Office of the Vice President for Research.
Located in the historic Galles Building, the Center has 2700 square feet of machine room space, and supports advanced hardware and software for a diverse community of researchers at the University, spanning five Colleges and more than twenty departments. Systems include dedicated machines, such as the Bethe Xeon Phi/NVIDIA GTX Titan platform for experimental code development in astrophysics and nanoscience, as well as an array of "community" clusters and parallel machines. These include the poblano 256 GB, 64-core SMP system, a shared-memory server for memory-intensive bioinformatics, computational biology, and multiphysics applications; the 200-node Galles 'green' Hadoop/high-throughput Beowulf cluster for bioinformatics and "big data" applications; and five production parallel machines: nano, Gibbs, pequena, Metropolis, and Ulam. The Center's newest supercomputer, Xena, designed for high-throughput, memory-intensive MATLAB and hybrid parallel applications, and suppored by an NSF MRI award, will come online this summer.
CARC's mission is to enable excellence in research and scholarship in science, engineering, biomedicine, humanities and the arts, through support for parallel supercomputing, advanced visualization, research data storage and analysis, novel architectures, and by providing leadership to enhance interdisciplinary computing-based research and education at the University.
In addition to its computational resources, CARC hosts eight research groups, a techology/art gallery, a seminar space, a workshop room for computational classes and outreach, and a visualization lab. CARC also serves as the academic unit administering the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Certificate Program, a graduate degree certificate.

37 year old woman | New Hope, MN, USA | Seeking men 27-40 within 150 miles
Active within 1 week
Like meeting new people and trying new things.
My faith means everything to me. It makes me who I am. It helps me deal with the ups and downs in life. My family and friends are also very important parts in my life. They are what make my life interesting; never a dull moment around them, just a bunch of laughter, usually at my expense, but I wouldn't want it any other way. They love me for who I am and I love each and everyone of them for who they are. Love all Minnesota sports teams, although I don't like hockey all that much, I will still cheer on the Wild. One of my favorite things to do is play sand volleyball during the summer; it's kind of hard to do in the winter. ;-) I grew up on a farm in northern Minnesota and as a result I am not afraid to get dirty, because hauling grain for my dad was definitely not a clean job. Some of my friends say that I can be to independent, because I like to try and see if I can fix whatever is broken. I love to cook, especially desserts, but anything that is home cooked is always good to me. Love to travel, especially to the North shore and anywhere that there is an unobstructed view of the sunset. Some day I hope to go to Norway and Germany to see where my family comes from. One of my weaknesses is that I love shoes, any type, as long as they are cute and on sale. I want someone who will value my opinions, who will treat me with respect. Basically how they would like to be treated in return. Sorry for the randomness, but that is how my mind works sometimes, whatever I think usually comes out. Want more of a straight, concise answer, ask me.

Country, rock, classical, Christian, metal, actually I will listen to pretty much anything. NCIS is the best, but right now it is all about The Voice. Who wouldn't want to watch that show?
Sand volleyball in the spring, summer, and fall. Indoor volleyball in the winter. Baseball games, wherever they may be. Hanging out with friends and family playing games or around a bon fire.
Trying to finish The Hobbit before the next movie comes out.

Role of Technology
Technology has made backpack journalism possible. Innovations such as tiny, high-definition video cameras; WIFI-enabled laptops; satellite phones that can transmit digital video files are all necessary tools.
Technology under development may be equally transformative. For example, the new Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras (DSLR) that have the capacity to do both still photographs and video are ready for creative experimentation.
Meanwhile media companies are tinkering with new content models in hopes of finding a product for which audiences will pay. While they are motivated by the need to find revenue to support journalism content creation, the innovations could significantly alter the way videos are produced and consumed. The wider use of mobile devices may push production of more tightly shot and cropped video, "to get people to the scene" than it does for video shown on sweeping wide-screen televisions, explains Peg Achterman, a former video photographer in the Seattle market and now an associate professor of communication at Northwest University. John Poole, a multimedia producer at NPR elaborates. "The more time you spend with any platform or medium, the more you can understand what works in that particular space." He says part of the creative process is "searching for the specifics that can bring a story to life in a particular medium or on a particular display device." Mark Whitaker, NBC Washington bureau chief says achieving quality for the big screen, which is harder, results in even better quality for small screens. "Whatever you see on that small screen has to also be projected on that big screen. The good news is that it makes us better. We'll be more successful producing video for the small screen because we have the discipline to produce high quality for the big screen."
Another consequence of the last quarter-century's revolution in communication technologies has been the splintering of audience into distinct demographic groups and niche segments. The arrival of the "500 channel" cable universe in the early 1990's was swiftly followed by the explosion of "video-on-demand" (VOD) via the Internet. The web birthed YouTube in 2006, a venue on which 20 hours of video are uploaded every minute of the day. Now consumers can turn to an endless stream of niche-interest videos on any number of devices to provide the information and entertainment that they previously obtained from radio, television and newspapers. Audience consumption time has become the new scarcity.
This change in consumption habits spurs the need to repurpose content across platforms to reach as many niche audiences as possible. This intrigues former Dallas Morning News video journalist David Leeson. "The benefit of using video as a content-gathering medium is that one can produce an audio story that works as a radio piece or it could be turned into a written piece, worked together with still photos to produce an audio slideshow for the web or be presented as a pure video that could be turned into television, website, or a DVD offering." One can even break a documentary project into a form of installation." Leeson did this with his documentary on war photographers, "At War," which he edited into 49 video podcasts. Similarly, Gentile generated 23 hours of content for the 22-minute Afghanistan piece for NOW. ""All 23 hours of that material belong to me. I can re-edit or re-package that material to create a feature-length documentary for independent distribution."
Technological changes have also transformed journalists. A profession that saw only minor change for most of the last century, journalism is now in a constant state of flux. Journalists have learned that keeping abreast of change is the key to continued employment and the industry's future. "If we worry soley about holding on to what we have, we are doomed." cautions Joe Krebs, co-anchor for News4Today in Washington D.C. He says the focus must be on "what is the new next thing we are creating (through) changes in technology and approach and how can we make it as good as it can be."

Welch: Losing the relics of our time
Have you seen the email message that's circulating about the nine things that are on the verge of disappearing from life as we know it?
Two are ways I've been known to make a living. One is the post office, and I don't want to say what the other one is.
And just as my husband and I are finally about to get started writing a book — one reason we married — books are on their way out, except for e-books. Oh well. Maybe we'll find an epublisher.
Our topic? So as not to leave you wondering, it's a book about an architect who was active at the turn of the century.
And there you have proof that we've moved well into the 21st century. "Turn of the century" doesn't necessarily mean 19th to 20th now that we've gone from the 20th to the 21st. The term no doubt creates a few years' worth of confusion every time one century follows another.
Speaking of centuries, my friend Eunice is turning 100. By the time you read this, she will be looking back over several successive decades. Eunice either makes me feel old or young. I'm not sure which. Maybe a little bit of both.
Back when 2000 rolled around, I was working as a news reporter. It wasn't news, but we reporters all did perfunctory reviews of the century that was about to be history. What amazed me was that I could remember the entire second half of it and had a pretty good grip on the first half, thanks partly to the age of my parents (older than most) and to all the fading touches of the past still in place during my childhood. One was the ragman who went though town collecting rags, his wagon pulled by mules. No doubt, his profession had been quite ordinary at one point in history — common enough to turn "rag man" into "ragman" sort of like "e-mail" has become "email." And forgive me if I've talked about the ragman before. He impressed me. Or his mules did.
Besides the ragman, other relics still in place during my earliest years were the brass spittoons in the bank building, between the elevators on each floor. They represented a time when chewing tobacco had been in vogue.
Now that people are chewing and spitting tobacco again, spittoons should be poised to make a comeback. But who would empty them? Nobody.
On the other hand, now that robots are finding work in car factories, robots could also handle spittoons. That's would be a nice blend of past and future. Remember where you heard it first.
As for the nine-item list, I'll not regurgitate it for you in toto. You probably got the email too.
Besides, who's to say some things won't make a comeback anyway?
Eunice once told me that when she was a young housewife, she recycled her dishwater to mop the floor and water her plants.
Eunice the recycler and water conservationist. She's back in style.

I recently bought this mascara because I have thin and very little asian eyelashes. I was looking for something to REALLY lengthen and volumize my lashes since I like, HAVE NONE. When I went in Sephora, I was tied between Givenchy's PhenomEYE's and Diorshow Iconic... but was convinced to purchase Dior's since it contains extra ingredients to condition and slowly lengthen lashes!
SO far, I've been completely ObbbbsesssedddDD with it!!

I have short, sparse, light Asian eyelashes, so I need a mascara that does pretty much EVERYTHING. This mascara does it ALL and it does not smudge! Unless a less expensive version that does the same thing come along, this is will be in my makeup bag for a long time.

i bought this mascara after hearing such great things about it. so i put out the 28 or so dollars and figured id give it a try. for a while this was the only thing i would use.( i literally threw away my mac, diorshow, and lash injection) and shortly after that it made my lashes clump together and look like spider legs. i have really long lashes that look like a venus fly trap and i find no matter how much i curl them or how fast i apply this mascara after i curl them i end up with stick straight lashes. i gave it 4 lippies since i used to be in love with it but i dont think i will be repurchasing this. its to expensive for something that kinda works.

I found this mascara in my makeup bag today. I bought it for a while ago. When I first tested it I didn't like it at all. It didn't really do anything for my lashes. But now I figured that I just simply could give it a try. So I used it today for REAL. Now I figure that this is a perfect everyday mascara. It gives you a little volume, bit not enough for me or maybe for a night out. I am not sure if I will buy this again, I will use it for a longer period and see if I have changed my opinion then. But for now; it is a good everyday mascara with a nice packaging quality but nothing over average. Save your money ladies!

Not quite HG for me. Definitely a very good mascara - gives me nice lashes with no flaking or smudging, but somehow its just not The One. The search for my PERFECT mascara continues...

I agree with the other reviewers about this mascara being a bit "pricey", but I think if a product works as well as this one does, it's well worth the $$$. I'm Asian and have lashes that point straight out - almost downwards. Typically, after curling my lashes and applying other mascaras, my lashes would lose their curl within hours and I'd inevitably have smudging under the eyes. However, this mascara holds the curl ALL day and does not smudge. I get amazing length and definition as well. One small cautionary note is that one has to have a rather steady hand for clean application due to the short "bristles" on the wand, but perhaps this is due to my lack of daily practice in mascara application. Until I bought this mascara I'd almost completely given up on mascaras altogether and haven't applied mascara on a daily basis for quite some time. But, this is a very minor point and in no way detracts from how much I LOVE using this mascara. Will most definitely continue to buy it!!

I decided to get this after reading all the amazing reviews. I tested it in the Dior counter and loved it, but for some reason it's not as good as it was at first?
Don't get me wrong, it's a good mascara, but nothing too special. Not worth the $51AU when I can get something even better for less.

I needed a mascara that will volumize, curl and lengthen all at once. I found it with Diorshow Iconic ! It doesn't clump, then again you have to know how to manage putting on several coats with out clumping . I wouldn't say that it gave me the dramatic volume that I was lookig for but it gives my lashes a great curl effect and length ! I have been using the DS Iconic for mths now and I can DEF say that this is one mascara I will purchase over and over !

This is my HG mascara. Like all the other Diorshow products I've tried, it goes on well, and doesn't clump. The reason I stick with this one over the others, though, is because it actually keeps my lashes curled! I have really long lashes that are stick straight, and I've been amazed with this product. The only downside to it is, similar to Blackout, getting it completely off is a PITA. But well worth it! I will buy this again and again!

this is my HG mascara ! i've tried to switch to several other ones because diorshow iconic IS quite pricey (27$ i think? maybe more..).. but i always end up back at this one.
compared to the original diorshow mascara.. the formula seems a lil bit more liquidy?
it coats all of my lashes nicely, gives length, volume, and has NO clumping whatsoever. I only do one coat each time & never ever ever get any flaking, or any smudging !! Also, the color is VERY black, i love it.
the most amazing thing about this mascara though.. i would have to say is that it curlssssssss your lashes amazingly ! i never use a lash curler when i use this mascara because it simply does all the work ! plus, if you curl your lashes too much, it can result in less volume in ur lashes in the future... so i love this mascara.
however, IF you do try to curl your lashes after applying this mascara.. your lashes kind of stick to the curler, making it hard 2 pull off.. it kind of hurts.. so just don't curl them because you really don't need to !
