MXGE(4) DragonFly Kernel Interfaces Manual MXGE(4)
NAMEmxge -- Myricom Myri10GE 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver
SYNOPSISTo compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device mxge Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_mxge_load="YES"
DESCRIPTIONThe mxge driver provides support for PCI Express 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Myricom LANai Z8E chip. The driver supports Trans- mit/Receive checksum offload, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), multiple reception queues, multiple tranmission queues and multiple vector MSI-X. Using multiple vector MSI-X requires that Myri10GE NIC be capable of MSI- X. Older Myri10GE NICs can be field upgraded to add MSI-X using the "Myri-10G Network Adapter Toolkit" for FreeBSD or Linux which is avail- able from https://www.myricom.com/support/downloads/tools/myri-10g-toolkit.html. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documenta- tion supplied with your Myri10GE adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with DragonFly. For further hardware information, see http://www.myricom.com. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). The mxge driver supports polling(4).
HARDWAREThe mxge driver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Myri- com LANai Z8E chips: * Myricom 10GBase-CX4 (10G-PCIE-8A-C, 10G-PCIE-8AL-C) * Myricom 10GBase-R (10G-PCIE-8A-R, 10G-PCIE-8AL-R) * Myricom 10G XAUI over ribbon fiber (10G-PCIE-8A-Q, 10G-PCIE-8AL-Q)
TUNABLESX is the device unit number. hw.mxge.msix.enable hw.mxgeX.msix.enable By default, the driver will use MSI-X if it is supported. This behaviour can be turned off by setting this tunable to 0. hw.mxgeX.msix.offset If more than 1 slices are enabled, this tunable specifies the leading target CPU for slice's transmission and reception queues processing. The value specificed must be aligned to the number of slices enabled and must be less than the power of 2 number of CPUs. hw.mxge.msi.enable hw.mxgeX.msi.enable If MSI-X is disabled and MSI is supported, the driver will use MSI. This behavior can be turned off by setting this tunable to 0. hw.mxgeX.msi.cpu If MSI is used, it specifies the MSI's target CPU. hw.mxge.num_slices hw.mxgeX.num_slices If MSI-X is used, this value determines the maximum number of slices the driver will attempt to use. Setting this value to 0 allows driver to enable as many slices as allowed by the number of CPUs. Each slice is comprised of one reception queue and one transmission queue. The transmission queue of each slice, except the first slice, could be disabled. The default value is 0. hw.mxge.multi_tx hw.mxgeX.multi_tx If more then 1 slices are enabled, this tunable controls whether the tranmission queue of each slice should be enabled. Setting this tunable to 0 will only enable the transmission queue on the first slice. The default value is 1. hw.mxge.use_rss This tunable controls whether standard RSS input hash function or chip private input hash function should be used. Using standard RSS input hash function degenerates reception performance signif- icantly. The default value is 0. hw.mxge.intr_coal_delay This value delays the generation of all interrupts in units of 1 microsecond. The default value is 150. hw.mxge.flow_control_enabled Whether or not hardware flow control is enabled on the adapter. The default value is 1. MIB Variables A number of per-interface variables are implemented in the dev.mxge.X branch of the sysctl(3) MIB. firmware_version The version string of firmware that is currently loaded by the driver. It is read-only. use_rss See tunable hw.mxge.use_rss. Flipping its value will cause chip reinitialization. intr_coal_delay See tunable hw.mxge.intr_coal_delay. flow_control_enabled See tunable hw.mxge.flow_control_enabled.

Klaus Pichler's absurd photographs of miniature allotments in Austria
Klaus Pichler's Middle Class Utopia focuses on allotment gardens in Vienna, a.k.a "Schrebergärten": little green spaces made up of loads of little sheds, which look like a Lynchian suburb where you can imagine awkward moments like the chicken dinner in Eraserhead taking place. There are 26,000 of these tiny allotments in Vienna, and they're mostly visited by older people as a form of escapism from the city. Apparently there are quite strict rules in the Screbergärtens about how things should look and how you have to behave, which maybe contributes to the eerie mood and specific atmosphere of the place, which Klaus magically captures with his camera.
An important theme in the series seems to be the strange tension that exists in those who want to escape into nature, but who also want to fight back and sculpt nature in order to create an artificially idyllic space. The neat hedges documented rival Edward Scissor Hands' meticulous trims, and there are plenty of stooped old ladies and pot-bellied men mowing the absurd, mini green lawns. There is also a very intense looking face-off between an old lady and a garden gnome, and as always, Klaus finds the weird and wonderful in the everyday. His projects never cease to amaze us.

LONDON (AP) - The high-end art market seems to be weathering Europe's economic storm.
A portrait by Amadeo Modigliani has sold for 26.9 million pounds ($42.1 million) at Christie's, above its top estimate.
In all, this week's London auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's netted more than 280 million pounds.
Modigliani's 1919 portrait of his lover Jeanne Hebuterne was the highlight of Christie's Wednesday sale of Impressionist and modern art, which raised a total of 136 million pounds.
A day earlier, Pablo Picasso's 1932 work "Woman Sitting Near a Window" fetched 28.6 million pounds at Sotheby's.
In total, Sotheby's Impressionist and modern sales raised 145 million pounds.
Works by Egon Schiele and Claude Monet also commanded high prices at the week's auctions, although some high-profile lots failed to meet their reserve prices.

PLC-XL51 achieve a bright 2,700 lumens thanks to a number of advanced technologies in their optical engine and a 275W lamp.
With new optical engine,PLC-XL51 provides high reliability and high cntrast ratio of 1200:1. It is improved for use in degital signage which demands projectors long time projection and beautiful color reproduction.
In order for SANYO to shorten the projection distance of its projectors, new large diameter aspheric lens and high-precision aspheric mirror technology was developed. SANYO also developed a new optical engine, enabling an 80 inch projection from the short distance of only 8 cm. Through this, large projections from a short distance are possible, and projection is possible even in tight or small meeting rooms, creating a meeting opportunity in any room or space that is available.
By making use of the main features of the PLC-XL51's extremely wide angle and the short distance of projection needed, adding to traditional uses of projectors, many new and various types of applications and locations become available.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Singer Chris Brown is expected to return to court for a status hearing in a case in which he's accused of hitting a man outside a Washington, D.C., hotel.
The R&B singer was arrested in October after a man said the singer hit him outside the W Hotel. Brown and his bodyguard each face a misdemeanor assault charge.
Brown is expected in court on Wednesday afternoon.
At the time of the alleged assault, the Grammy winner was on probation in California for a 2009 attack on singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend. As a result of the charge in Washington, a judge revoked Brown's probation in California, but the ruling didn't alter a requirement that Brown complete rehab and community service including roadside cleanup and graffiti removal.

Making Panela at a Colombian Sugar Mill is Still a Low-Tech Affair
Brown, unrefined sugar is eaten all around the world—Africa and Asia have their jaggery, Mexico has piloncillo, we have our fancy coffee shops with moist muscovado—but nobody consumes it the way Colombians do. Despite having the highest brown sugar consumption per capita in the world and a production of almost a million and a half tons per year, sugar production is still done almost 100% manually in mills like this one. For now, that is. More

I asked Bud to do a picture of how he would like to look in his school uniform. He's slightly obsessed by superheros at the moment so his reply was that he was going to be a superhero! This made me smile a little and reminded me of the boys I went to school with wearing their coats like capes by just putting the hoods over their heads. This coat would be perfect for that, wouldn't it?
Bud got busy with the glue, stickers and glitter and this is his masterpiece. I'm not quite sure how he fits into the picture but this is, apparently his superhero collage. He is only three after all!

Headsweats Coolmax Skullcap
My desire to ride a bike during winter dwindles as the temp drops, but traditional beanies — aside from being bulky under a helmet — can feel way too warm, especially once you really get pedaling. This ultra-thin polyester skullcap has cut down on those downhill-windchills without overheating me. The material breathes (hold it to the light and you can see through it), and it dries quickly. It also packs tiny (see below). If you desire more ear coverage, there's the previously-reviewed thermal Maxit beanie or Headsweats also makes a MidCap as well as several other thicker, more expensive options I have not used, including a few in micro fleece. As it is, I get 2/3 ear coverage with this skullcap, which is generally fine for the climate I ride in (San Francisco). Headsweats makes a cycling cap complete with a bill; I prefer being able to carelessly wad mine up and throw it in my pack, plus the lack of a bill affords other uses: I've donned mine with a hooded sweatshirt to play basketball and under a $.99-store beanie to add a bit more warmth. Above all else, this polyester cap makes my helmet much more comfortable.

SHERIDAN - Bert Jellison, terrestrial habitat biologist in Sheridan, has retired after 35 years of service with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
Jellison began his Game and Fish career as a fish technician in Casper in April 1978. Four months later he was promoted to habitat specialist at Ocean Lake where he served until transferring to Lovell in August 1984. He was promoted to his current position in August 1992. During his time in Sheridan, he organized and completed many habitat projects through partnerships with various groups.
"I would like to recognize the outstanding contributions and service to our state and wildlife made by Bert Jellison through a truly exceptional career in wildlife," said Chief Game Warden Brian Nesvik. "He is leaving behind a legacy in Sheridan that will benefit wildlife for decades to come."
Nesvik added, "Some of Bert's most notable accomplishments were related to wildlife habitats conserved in perpetuity through thoughtfully funded and negotiated conservation easements. He will certainly be missed. I congratulate Bert on his tremendous career dedicated to wildlife."
Jellison earned a bachelor's degree in wildlife biology and range management from Colorado State University in December 1977. He received a Conservation Service Award from Ducks Unlimited in 1990 and the Peer Recognition Award from Game and Fish's Sheridan/Casper regions in 1995. He was nominated for Wildlife Division employee of the year in 2004. He earned the prestigious W.R. Chapline Land Stewardship Award from the Society of Range Management's Wyoming section in 2012.
Jellison and his wife, Debbie, have been recognized for their resource stewardship on the ranch they manage along Piney Creek northeast of Buffalo where they will continue to make their home in retirement. The Jellisons have two adult daughters.

LAGOS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Nigerians celebrated becoming Africa's soccer champions from the edge of the Sahara desert to the Atlantic coast on Sunday, enjoying a reprieve from headlines of violence and corruption.
Thousands stormed the streets in towns and villages from the dusty, mostly-Muslim north to the swampy oil-producing Niger Delta in the south, burning tyres and letting off fireworks in a rare show of national celebration.
Stadiums in Nigeria's capital Abuja and its largest city, Lagos, were filled with fans watching the final on big screens. In villages across Africa's biggest oil producer, hundreds crowded around tiny, fuzzy television sets to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
"You can see we are united in this victory, both Christian and Muslim," said Musa Mohammed in Kano, a northern city where two days ago nine health workers administering polio vaccinations were killed.
"How I wish this togetherness would continue."
Nigeria's 1-0 win over Burkina Faso in the final ended almost two decades without African Nations Cup success for the continent's most populous nation.
The country of 160 million people has been hit by an Islamist insurgency in the last two years, and its southern oil region has been ravaged by kidnappings and oil theft. But for one night that was all forgotten.
"Our wounds have been healed," Sunday Dadiowei said in Yenagoa, the capital of President Goodluck Jonathan's home state. "Today we are the champions of Africa and for that every Nigerian should be proud."

VIDEO: Making sea salt at home easy, fun
ROCKPORT - I was standing on the front porch of my new restaurant in Rockport, just steps away from a vast ocean of salty seawater, and a thought hit me. We use local seafood on our menu. Why not local salt? After a quick Google search, I grabbed a large pot and dashed out to get as much seawater as possible. Back in the kitchen and prepping it for the oven, it occurred to me that this might not work.
Why isn't anyone else doing this? What if the salt is just … blah? Pushing the doubts out of my head, I closed the oven door and waited. Two long days later, I found the seawater evaporates as expected but to my surprise it leaves behind beautiful whispers of salt crystals, flowing in wavy lace-like patterns along the sides of the dish. It is otherworldly and crumbles with the slightest touch. I slowly licked the salt off my fingertips, and childhood memories of summer floated to the surface. Like the one of getting bowled over from a seemingly monstrous 1-foot wave, as gallons of seawater come pouring into my little nose and mouth. The first taste of salty ocean water condensed into a tiny granular memory on the tip of my thumb.
This column is about reviving those coastal memories and the search for new ones. It's about experiencing the joy of living by the seaside and exploring flavors that make us smile. Since opening Glow, I've had the opportunity to discover local food sources, delve into our culinary history and simply enjoy the character of this magnificent region.
While the restaurant keeps my knife to the whetstone, I am delighted to have this chance to share these experiences with you and learn about your treasured coastal stories and recipes. So please, tell me what you're thinking and welcome to my column, Coastal Flavors!
My first recipe is on how to make sea salt. It is so simple, and most of the effort involves hauling that big pot of water.
Makes about 1 cup of sea salt
2 gallons sea or bay water
Several glass or Pyrex casserole dishes to hold seawater
1 Scoop up a few gallons of sea or bay water, ideally from a bay that opens directly onto the open sea.
2 Fill several glass casserole dishes (no metal) with the seawater and put it into the oven at 200 degrees for two days or until all water has evaporated.
3 Scrape the salt crystals into a glass or wooden container and keep in a dry place.
4 Sprinkle your locally harvested sea salt on buttery roast potatoes, juicy ripe tomatoes or even handmade dark chocolate truffles.

Delio Rossi believes Palermo fully deserved their Coppa Final spot. "Over two legs we were superior to Milan."
The Rosanero earned a 2-2 draw at San Siro in the first leg and won 2-1 this evening to reach their third Coppa Italia Final, following on from runner-up medals in 1974 and 1979.
"We knew that we were facing a stronger side, so it needed two huge performances and I think over the two legs we were superior to Milan," said the Coach.
"I am happy for our fans, all of Sicily and the South, as we are proving that you can create great football clubs in this area of the country."
Rossi surprised many by making a substitution during the first half, taking off 19-year-old midfielder Afriyie Acquah for Armin Bacinovic.
"I felt bad replacing Acquah, but the lad was having some tactical problems and was perhaps a little too anxious at this big occasion. I'm confident he'll be of great use to the team starting from tomorrow.
"A Coach has to make choices, such as leaving out Fabrizio Miccoli or sending others to the stands. I'm glad the fans know I always try to do what's best for the team."
Rossi has a lot of support in the city, but could well leave when his contract expires in June. After all, he was already fired and re-hired last month and the rapport with President Maurizio Zamparini remains extremely difficult.
"I will meet with the President after the end of the season, but that is true regardless of the results we manage to achieve."
Palermo have not only reached the Coppa Italia Final after 32 years, but effectively qualified for the Europa League.
This is because the other finalist will be either Inter or Roma, who both look set to qualify for Europe via their Serie A status.

Robbie Grabarz is hoping for home comforts
Posted: February 05, 2013|
Robbie Grabarz will be hoping to harness the home crowd support to lift him to success at the British Athletics European Trials and UK Championships in Sheffield this weekend.
The 25-year-old high jumper is aiming to use the competition on Sunday as a catalyst for the season ahead, including earning the British record outright.
Grabarz opened his campaign with a clearance of 2.29m for second when he captained his country at the British Athletics Glasgow International Match two weeks ago.
The jump meant he secured the qualification standard for the European Indoor Championships in Sweden from March 1 to 3, and he must now finish in the top two in Sheffield on Sunday.
"This year has started pretty well after jumping 2.29m at the British Athletics Glasgow International Match but now I want to kick on and go even higher in Sheffield," said Grabarz, who is looking for a maiden indoor UK title after three silver medals and a bronze.
"I thrive off competing in front of British crowds and I'm sure they'll get behind me again in Sheffield. I want to have a strong indoor season with a good performance at the European Indoors to set me up for outdoors so that I can go to the World Championships and challenge for a medal."
And longer term, he wants to go over the British outdoor record of 2.37m, which he currently shares with Steve Smith.
He said: "There's always something that you can pick apart and improve upon. I want that British outdoor record all to myself as opposed to sharing it with Steve Smith – I know there's still more in the tank."

Great freeware image editor and optimizer
Articles PhotoFiltre Studio
PhotoFiltre is a free image editor that makes a great lightweight alternative to Photoshop for users who want something more simple and easy to use.
PhotoFiltre is a relatively small application and unlike Photoshop, will install and launch very quickly. The interface, loaded with all the features and options, can be confusing at first glance but you'll soon get used to it. The right side is composed of the shape and drawing tools and an optimizable color palette. The top bar has all the essential image editing and modification options. PhotoFiltre sadly doesn't let you customize the interface and choose your favorite tools.
Among all the image modification tools, of particular usefulness is the quick contrast/hue and saturation buttons because you can check out the effects and immediately and easily correct the image if you're not satisfied with its quality. If you trust PhotoFiltre, you can also let it adjust these parameters automatically.
Like any self-respecting image editing application, PhotoFiltre includes the most widely used filters to transform your image, but if you need to make really significant changes, you'll find yourself limited. Furthermore, unlike Photoshop, PhotoFiltre doesn't include layers, making it more challenging to work on different elements of the image separately.
Like the excellent free image viewer Irfanview, PhotoFiltre covers the majority of image formats and can batch process and convert images rapidly. PhotoFiltre has five different zoom options yet they seem to be more or less similar. The magnifier is probably less precise than the drop down percentage pane, and the auto zoom adjusts the image's size according to PhotoFiltre's window size.
The image explorer is located at the bottom of the screen, and if you set it according to your image file you'll be able to quickly preview all your pictures. However, if you work with multiple image files, it can quickly become confusing, as you'll have to open up an explorer tree pane every time to look for your pictures.
PhotoFiltre contains all the essential tools and options to edit and optimize pictures.

"Great free program with lots for the starting artist. Easy to learn."
I use it all the time! Have used it for years. I started learning digital art with the free version and as my skills increased moved over to the affordable pro version. Lots of tools. I love how I can open an image and select a color and presto the color is gone and in it's place transparency. Yes, it does't do everything everyone else is doing but what it does, it does well. You can save selections for later use. Save your own images in the pattern folder or even create your own masks for usage. Lots of little things make it one of my top 5 - believe me, I've used over a 100 different graphic programs.

WAUPACA - Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that a former firefighter, Christopher Doering, was sentenced on August 2, 2010, in Waupaca County Circuit Court for arson.
Van Hollen said Waupaca County Circuit Judge Philip M. Kirk sentenced Doering to four years initial confinement followed by three years extended supervision, imposed and stayed. The court ordered that Doering serve four years probation and is to serve six months in the county jail as a condition of the probation. Doering was also ordered to pay court costs.
Judge Kirk ordered Doering to pay restitution in the amount of $13,192.24 to the holder of the land contract on the home that was destroyed, and $3,000 to Pekin Insurance.
Doering was convicted on June 2, 2010, upon his plea to the charge of arson of a building in connection with a fire at his Waupaca County home in 2005.
According to the criminal complaint filed by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Doering was home alone on the evening of September 1, 2005.
Doering stated that the lights flickered and he reset a fuse. He claimed that he noticed fire in his bedroom closet. Doering stated that he tried to put the fire out but was unsuccessful. Doering stated he was familiar with fires as he previously served as a firefighter. The clothing worn by Doering on the evening of September 1, 2005, was collected by law enforcement. A Wisconsin State Crime lab analysis of Doering's shoes and blue jeans revealed the presence of a volatile mixture consistent with gasoline. An ignitable liquid detection dog was deployed and alerted to the presence of ignitable liquid throughout several rooms within the house.
The investigation also revealed that Doering made statements at a deposition where he admitted that he knew the house was in foreclosure and that he was served on August 31, 2005, with a notice that the house would be sold at a Sheriff's sale. Shortly after the September 1, 2005, fire, Doering submitted a claim for insurance proceeds.
The criminal complaint was filed in Waupaca County on September 30, 2009.
Assistant Attorneys General Erik Peterson and Eric Défort are serving as special prosecutors for Waupaca County.

"Flappy Bird" developer Dong Nguyen may have removed his most famous creation, but he has several other games out in the wild. Nguyen's "Super Ball Juggling" is worth checking out for true "Flappy Bird" devotees, as the free title has virtually the same visuals and mechanics as its defunct successor. The only difference? You'll be tapping the screen to keep a soccer ball in the air rather than a bird. It's just as punishing, and can be just as habit forming.
More: Best Smartphones 2014
Stop writing about this shit game. These games are terrible and not worth writing, or copying. Go back to snood and tetris. This game is the lowest comments denomination of games. The scum at the bottom of the barrel. If you miss this game than kill yourself, cause you are shit.
Deserving of special mention are the better looking Flappy Bird clones such as Amazing Cupid (Android; iOS soon), and Splashy Fish (iOS; Android port much needed IMO).
I agree with YBRBY, there are more deserving flappy bird esque games that deserve special mention. Especially those that add something new to the table like Power Up Bird.

A rigid plastic twist lock drain funnel for conveying defrost water from the interior of the refrigerator cabinet, through the insulation space, to the exterior. A top portion of the funnel has a groove seating an O-ring, and a central portion has a pair of radially extending cam-shaped ears. During fabrication, the drain funnel is inserted from inside the refrigerator liner through an aperture having notches for receiving the ears, and then the funnel is twisted approximately 90.degree. to engage the ears as a cam lock. In such arrangement, the funnel is securely attached to the liner and the O-ring provides a seal therebetween so as to prevent subsequently injected foam insulation from leaking to the interior of the cabinet. To allow for misalignment between the linear and the outer case, the opposite end of the drain funnel passes through an oversized hole in the outer case of the refrigerator. A spongy gasket around the lower end of the funnel is compressed between a shoulder of the funnel and the outer case so as to provide a seal therebetween.

Common questions
Common questions
How long will it take to complete my major?
With the exception of the several education endorsements (K-12 and 7-12), majors in health and human performance can be completed in four years by averaging 16 credit hours per semester. The two endorsements above typically take the equivalent of 4 ½ years to complete.
What technology is available?
In addition to the use of campus-wide technology, students will have access to the department's own computer lab and a well-equipped human performance laboratory for exercise science, biomechanics and motor learning when the Walz is completed.
What about internships?
Students choosing a liberal arts major are required to complete an internship. Some choose to complete the internship while on campus during a regular term, but many students seek out opportunities at home during the summer.
Are professional certifications available?
The B.S. in Education degree leads to certification as a teacher. Additionally, liberal arts graduates will be prepared to take exams leading to certifications as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, certified health education specialist and other leadership positions. Additional work at the graduate level can lead to certification as an athletic trainer.
What jobs are available after graduation?
Depending on the major graduates have become teachers, coaches, corporate wellness directors, physical therapists, community health educators, researchers, athletic trainers, directors of athletics, nurses, personal and group fitness trainers, sport agents, and recreation directors.

As a new school year begins, so does a new state technology support system for students, teachers and parents.
It's one of two major technology initiatives taking place in 2013-14, with the other the arrival of about 1,600 Google Chromebooks later this fall that will be used by students.
The $26 million Home Base system replaces the NCWise system that had been used by Carteret County and about 30 other school districts across the state. Other districts used additional systems.
Mat Bottoms, assistant superintendent in charge of curriculum and instruction for the Carteret County school system, said the State Department of Public Instruction wanted a common system all school districts could use.

Thurgood Marshall College Fund Delegation Returns From Malaysia and Singapore Fact-Finding MissionMedia Contacts:
Hallema Sharif Clyburn
A Deeper Look into Preparing Global Leaders
NEW YORK (April 14, 2011) – A delegation of educators and individuals from the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) recently returned from a fact-finding mission to Malaysia and Singapore.
The delegation included the following TMCF Representatives: President & CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.; Founder and Board Member Dr. N. Joyce Payne; International Consultant Jerry L. Drew; and Executive Assistant to the President Rosalind Riddick.
Other delegates included: Dr. Robert L. Ford, Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Department of Chemistry at Texas Southern University; Dr. Joseph Lewis Graves, Jr., an Associate Dean for Research and a Professor of Biological Sciences at North Carolina A&T State University; Dr. William Hamilton Harris, President of Alabama State University; and Dr. A. Anil Kumar, Head of the Department of Physics and Professor of Electrical Engineering at Prairie View A&M University.
TMCF's 2011 fact-finding mission to Malaysia and Singapore was part of a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD)-sponsored initiative to produce a comprehensive study of a select group of exemplary degree programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at universities in South Africa, China, Malaysia, and Singapore. The TMCF delegation travelled to South Africa in 2009 and to China in 2010.
"These fact-finding missions were designed to create new thinking to drive success in the production of human capital in STEM. The goal was and still is to convert the information gathered into programs designed to achieve measurable change in the quality and quantity of students completing degree programs in STEM at public Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs). This information will be used to create a major national initiative to "Engage, Innovate & Invest" in STEM at TMCF's 47-member schools," Dr. Payne said.
To create a major national initiative, the TMCF delegation identified: best practices that could be replicated; change through advocacy at the highest levels of policymaking; STEM programs that could be aligned with TMCF's mission and member schools; how to invest in strengthening infrastructure and capacity building; and how to establish a TMCF-Institute to support global partnerships around STEM and beyond.
Taylor explained "South Africa, China, Malaysia and Singapore were selected because they are becoming major forces in making a substantial and sustained investment in talent, ideas and innovations in the sciences, but they are also becoming powerful tools for social and economic transformation."
Meetings in Singapore included the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, the National University of Singapore, the National University of Singapore High School for Mathematics and Science, Nanyang Technological University, Biotech Park, and Singapore Management University.
In Malaysia, the delegates met with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, the Technological University of Malaysia, the University of Malaysia, and Putra University of Malaysia. To obtain a broad view of existing initiatives, while giving shape and direction to new policies and practices, delegation members met with senior government officials, leadership of higher education associations and university officials, faculty members and students.
In all of these meetings, TMCF delegates found prominent scientists who were profoundly optimistic about the future of science education and the position their country will occupy in the next generation of science and technology.
TMCF's international initiative is allowing the organization to shift gears from fact finding to design and implementation of new policies and practices that will draw upon the resources of it's member schools.
TMCF's delegates developed three core values that provide strategic direction for the mission. These three core values are (1) engagement to increase and access opportunity, (2) innovation to design new models of excellence, and (3) investment to generate public and private resources.
As a result, TMCF plans to establish student and faculty exchanges, offer joint-degree programs and conduct collaborative research. Toward that goal, TMCF will create a five-year strategic plan that lays the groundwork for redefining academic policies, practices and pedagogical procedures, while widening the scale and scope of its programs.
At a time when the rapidly changing world of cyberspace is fueling exponential growth in science and technology, this renewed commitment will require consolidation of our collective resources and generous public and private support in 10 critical areas. The challenge is to:
o Create an overarching strategic framework to guide change.
o Organize and consolidate resources.
o Create a shared vision and a seamless network of institutions.
o Strengthen and expand existing programs, especially at the doctorate level.
o Replicate models of success.
o Reorganize and realign programs with state and national interests.
o Create a competitive environment for teaching, learning and research.
o Work across disciplines, institutions and geographic boundaries.
o Create incubators and science centers with government and industry.
o Contribute to the human resources mission of the U.S. Department of Army.
About Thurgood Marshall College FundThe Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), named for the U.S. Supreme Court's first African-American Justice, was established in 1987. TMCF supports and represents nearly 300,000 students attending our 47-member schools, which include public Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) and Predominately Black Institutions (PBIs). TMCF's work is critical to guaranteeing our country a robust and diverse pipeline of talented workers and future leaders. TMCF achieves its vision of Changing the World . . . One Leader at a Time by focusing on three areas: Scholarships, Capacity Building & Programmatic Support, and Public Policy & Advocacy.

Summer lovin'
Styling + Photography: Peta Rudd
I wanted to share this vintage inspired vignette with you, because summer is all I can think about right now. It's cold here in Australia and I'm dreaming of escaping to a tropical island holiday and soaking in the sun. But what to wear? It's no secret I'm a huge vintage fan and one of the easiest ways to channel this vibe is through eyewear. My favourite style are cat eye sunglasses- so timeless! I especially love this two toned pair by Vogue (pictured above). They go perfectly with vintage style swimwear, layered with a floral duster, a hat and a dash of red lip colour (my signature colour is Nars 'Dragon Girl'). Hurry up summer!
The colours are gorgeous Peta! Beautifully styled and photographed as always!

Happy Wednesday!
What a Tuesday we had – I am so tired I am pretty sure I could sleep standing up.
So as promised, I told you I would share with you some traditional Lebanese dishes this week. This first one is very simple and great tasting if you like cabbage. Now there are a million ways to make cabbage rolls but I thought it would be fun for me to share the way my family makes them. The more common way you would see a cabbage roll would be with a tomato sauce, however today's post will be slightly different.
The cabbage rolls below are much smaller in size than what you would consider a "traditional" cabbage roll. And with the omittance of the tomato sauce – you may ask yourself…. what in the world does zesty have here. Well here it goes:
- 1 Lb. Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 Cup Short Grain Rice
- 4 Large Cabbage Heads
- 1 Head Garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Combine raw lean beef, rice, salt and pepper together; mix well.
- Bring water to a boil and place whole cabbage into the pot to scold cabbage for about 4 minutes. ( Be sure to save liquid )
- Once the leaves start falling off remove from pot.
- Take one leaf off with tongs and place on a work surface.
- Check for hard core like surface on the back of the cabbage leaf and skim it off with a knife.
- Place cabbage open on the work surface and fill with a tablespoon of filling in a horizontal line.
- tuck both sides of the cabbage leaf in and roll .
- Place in a large pot and repeat procedure.
- Put garlic cloves throughout the pot on different layers.
- Once all the cabbage rolls are made fill pot about 2/3 full with reserve liquid and cook for 60-75 minutes.
Zesty Tip: Be sure to cut the core of the cabbage out before starting the rolling procedure if it is present.
So there you have it. Now what I like to do with my cabbage rolls is have a little tomato juice that has been boiled to make a little dipping sauce. Mom also likes to cook a couple of small lamb chops by adding them to the pot for flavoring…. oh so good!
Hope you have a great Wednesday and please if you have not done so – be sure to enter the POM giveaway contest before Friday.
Take care

Nursing a Kevin Kolb hangover this holiday weekend
Published: May 27, 2011 @ 6:37am
It's a holiday weekend and I don't have to be in the palatial offices of ArizonaSports.com -- really it's just a tiny quarter cubicle with whiteboard walls -- so I'm looking forward to enjoying a hangover. Since I drink about as often as Los Angeles sports fans act classy, I'll have to settle for the Hangover Part 2.
I realize the chances that it lives up to the original are about as good as Jeffery Jordan living up to his father Michael's legacy, but I'm still looking forward to it regardless.
As much as I'll probably enjoy it, not all hangovers are like the movie. Some are anything but entertaining. I'm battling one of those right now. I'm fighting a Kevin Kolb hangover.
I can't be the only one that's suffering from this affliction. The entire story is like seeing a trailer for a movie that isn't coming out for another year. At first it's exciting and makes you think about what the future will hold. The problem is, over time, you continue to see the same preview again and again to the point that it becomes more annoying than having to watch The View and The Real Housewives of (fill in any awful city here) simultaneously on full blast.
Since the Super Bowl in February, rumors about the Arizona Cardinals' interest in Kevin Kolb have run rampant. At the beginning it was interesting. The possibility of the team landing a young quarterback of the future that could keep Larry Fitzgerald happy and lead them back to prominence was every bit as enthralling as home playoff games. Unlike those games though, there was no payoff whatsoever.
With each passing day more rumors emerge and yet we're no closer to an actual resolution. Beat writers -- or should we call them �beat a dead horse' writers -- from across the country continue to report �new' rumors that consist of the same information we've heard a million times while national analysts repackage the same opinion as if it were some new view on Kolb. It's becoming maddening (and I'm not talking about John).
As much as I am frustrated with the entire situation I'm just as addicted to it. Thus is the plight of the NFL fan. We've bought into the sport hook, line and sinker. As sports fans we've become dependant on the game for entertainment value. It's why fans keep reading every tidbit about Kolb and the Cardinals. It's why writers -- present company included -- continue to pump out content about free agents that are about as free as Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redeption because they can't sign with anyone.
So here we are. Caught in limbo. Frustrated by the information we long for. If Kolb winds up in Arizona he'll have to throw at least 30 touchdowns in a season just to make up for and live up to the months of talk about him and his potential. That or just lead the team to more than five wins and protect the ball. (I have low standards after last season).
The Hangover Part 2 could wind up being a huge disappointment after anticipating it for so long and so could not acquiring Kevin Kolb after so much talk. That would be more frustrating than any rumor especially, since we thought our wolfpack would grow by one.

Walnut Grove Pioneer Village : Antique Farm Machinery Building
The original structure was built with a generous donation from Mr. & Mrs. Melvin Dammann. The Dammann's have also donated many of the items on display. In 1989, they donated funds to expand the building to its present size. And again, in the fall of 1999, Melvin and Dorothy Dammann donated additional funds for a concrete floor. Park crews also installed board siding on the inside plus new lighting. This will allow for a better and more professional way of displaying items thanks to the generosity of the Dammann's.
The intent of the display is to depict early farming methods and to preserve local farming heritage. Many of the items were used by Mr. Dammann's father, Emil L.

Trump Runs for President: Wharton Considers Relocating To Under A Rock
Donald Trump, inspirer of cats everywhere, went to Wharton. In the past, this was merely an entertaining fact/skeleton in the closet. It was hidden away in the depths of our history with Ben Franklin's prostitutes and the fact that Penn students used to literally fight to the death over a bowl. It was a fact only trudged out during past threats of a Presidential run and perhaps some unwatched episodes of The Apprentice.
No longer. Over the past few weeks, the Donald has been dropping that he attended the "Wharton School of Finance" in every single
speech rant. Despite the fact that his classmates "have no memory of him whatsoever," it's the burden we must carry. The jig is up.
While Wharton may be losing applicants/dignity as result, one bright side is this Funny or Die vid calling Trump a "Prisoner of Wharton." While fairly accurate, we only wish that they had delved more deeply into the torture technique known as OCR, when prisoners are forced to compete with their fellow brave soldiers for the opportunity to work 1,000 hours per week.Read the Full Article

Now, more than any time in history,
a lifetime gifting strategy can providemore estate and gift tax savings.
Chart Range:
At American General Life Companies, we have been helping meet the needs of wealthy individuals
and families since 1850. Along with a competitive, innovative and varied product line,
American General offers its representatives best-in-class, advanced market support and
services – such as this website – to help provide you with the information and expertise you need.
This Web page is designed to provide product information for insurance agents.

consumer and policy owner Web site at
If you are an agent already contracted with American General, please login or
register to access the secured portion of our Web site to obtain complete product
and business submission information.
The intent of this website is to communicate the potential benefits of lifetime gifting and its impact on an estate planning strategy. It is important to understand that, although every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the calculations in this web application, the application should not be perceived as a planning tool. The site is for illustrative and educational purposes only. To determine whether a lifetime gifting program is appropriate for your situation, you should seek the advice of tax, legal and financial advisors.
In order to simplify the presentation of this topic, several assumptions were made. Please review them, below:
1. Growth Rate: The growth rate for this website was locked in at 4% for all assets: those gifted and retained. Of course, this is unrealistic and could even be regarded as aggressive, considering the economic environment that began in the late-2000s. No one can accurately predict the growth of assets. Additionally, classes of assets can grow at significantly different rates. Ideally, one looking to reduce their estate tax exposure would gift assets with a higher growth potential (see About Lifetime Gifts section below). Before considering a lifetime gifting strategy, a thorough understanding of the growth potential of an estate's assets is necessary.
2. No Prior Gifts Made: The examples in this website assume that no prior gifts were made by Ben or Karen. Prior gifts (over an annual exclusion amount) will reduce the amount of the exemption available for current and future gifting.
3. Level Annual Exclusion Amount: In the portion of the website's calculations addressing annual gifts to an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, the annual gift tax exclusion is used to minimize gift taxes. Since 1932, individuals have been able to gift an amount, each year – gift tax free – for the benefit of someone other than their spouse. In 1997, the amount was legislated at $10,000 and set to inflate in $1,000 increments. As the increments are tied to the CPI, it is impossible to predict when the annual gift amount will be increased. Therefore, the calculations in this website have assumed a level annual gift exclusion of $13,000 per person (i.e., $13,000 for single, divorced and widowed examples and $26,000 for married).
4. Simultaneous Death in Married Examples: To simplify the scenarios in this website, when the example displays a married individual, it is assumed that both die on the same day. Therefore, there is no growth of assets between deaths. Furthermore, it is assumed that the unnamed spouse is the first to die and that the unnamed spouse takes full advantage of the estate tax exemption available in the projected year of death, then utilizes the marital deduction to leave the balance of their assets to the named spouse (i.e., Ben or Karen).
5. No Claw-back: For gifts made in any year when the exemption amount is legislated to be less during a projected year of death than it was in the gift year (e.g., gift in 2012 and death in 2013), this calculator assumes that there will be no "claw-back." The term "claw-back" refers to situations where a tax benefit that is utilized in one year, and legislated to decrease in a future year, will not be reversed by the IRS. For example, in 2011, the exemption amount was $5,000,000 and the amount legislated for 2013 was $1,000,000. The assumption is that the IRS would not penalize a person's gift over $1,000,000 in 2011, if they died in 2013.
The two primary determinants in the potential success of a lifetime gifting program are as follows:
1. Past, Present and Future Estate and Gift Tax Environment: The future legislative environment surrounding estate and gift taxation is unpredictable. Irreversible decisions made in the past or current tax environment may be rendered ineffectual by future legislation. For example, if a person of wealth gifted the maximum exemption amount in 1995 ($600,000), for the sole purpose of reducing their family's estate tax bill at death, and then that person died in 2010, when estate taxes were completely repealed, then the lifetime gifting strategy achieved nothing. What is the future of estate taxes? No one knows. What is known is that, as of this writing, there has been an estate tax for every year since it was enacted (in 1916), except one: 2010.
2. Growth of Gifted Assets: Essentially, gifted assets do not escape taxation. If we assume, for a moment, that the exemption amount (the amount you can pass to a non-spouse without taxation) were to remain the same year over year, then utilizing the exemption during life simply means that it would be unavailable to utilize at death. So why gift? To remove the growth on assets from taxation. If a $600,000 asset were gifted ten years ago and this year the individual died, that gift would be brought back into the estate tax calculation at its original value – not at today's value. If the asset had doubled in value in those ten years, then an extra $600,000 will escape taxation.
But, what if the asset did not grow, but decreased in value by half? Then, the estate taxes would be paid at a $600,000 level, when the asset is only worth $300,000 – meaning that the gifting strategy actually increased the estate tax bill. Had the asset not been gifted, then it would have been run through the estate tax process at the $300,000 amount. From this example, one can see that, if the goal of a lifetime gifting strategy is to reduce estate taxes, then the assets to be gifted should be those with strong growth potential.

We have made it easier for you to make your police registration appointment by arranging for the police to come to the University campus on every Wednesday between 09.30 and 14.50.
Venue: Deri House, 2 – 4 Park Grove (map ref. 60)
You must book an appointment to register with the Police at Cardiff University by using the online booking system:
Want priority? Make an appointment!
People with appointments are given priority over those who do not have appointments. So if you turn up at Deri House without an appointment, you will have to wait.
Please be patient, staff will try their very best to try to get you seen by the Police that same day.
Your police appointment is a very important and is a priority for you when you first arrive. In fact it is more important than attending any University classes or activities. This is because it is a legal immigration requirement of your entry into the UK. If you fail to register with the police you could be prosecuted and there will be a note put on your immigration record. This will negatively affect any future visa applications you may make to extend your stay in the UK.
To register with the police for the first time you will need:
Please come to your appointment with all the above items. If you don't have all the documents the police cannot issue a Registration certificate.
Normally appointments only take 20 minutes. Though this depends on the number of questions the police need to ask you and if you've completed the questionnaire correctly.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment time, so you should not have to wait too long.

She may be way more "hardcore" than Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears, but the punk pop starlet wants what they got. No, not a divorce by the age of 25, but a movie career. The?singer is reportedly in talks with Sony BMG (also her record label) to star in a"thriller feature film," a source tells Page Six, "playing kind of a white-trash girl."
Hm. How badly does Avril want us to make a joke right here? It'd be too easy, so we'll just offer this bit of advice. Before she steps in front of the camera, she may want to sit down with some popcorn and watch the extended versions of Crossroads and Employee of the Month. Or perhaps Glitter, or maybe anything Madonna has done. The list goes on and on. Watch out Avril! Stick to what you know – gold records and silly outfits.

... showed the left rear tire on the Jeep we tow behind us only had 20lbs of air. Humm. On examination it had a lag bolt stuck in the tread (picture). I went back in and ate lunch and by the time I was done it only had 21lbs of air in it. So after changing the tire in the large parking lot, on we went.

Ms. Warren Should Take Aim at Confusing Federal Laws
I agree with Elizabeth Warren that consumers of financial products should be able to easily understand the details of the products ("It's Time To Simplify Financial Regulation," op-ed, Oct. 1). If financial products were explained in a way that consumers could understand, people could make more intelligent choices and less government regulation would be necessary.
Why don't we start with the federal tax code? I'd wager that more Americans can understand their credit card agreements and other financial affairs than can accurately complete their own income tax returns. Ms. Warren would never suggest that those who can't understand a credit offer should hire a professional to explain it to them. But we do that to millions of taxpayers.
William W. Bowden
Lake Forest, Ill.
Todd Zywicki is right to criticize President Obama for appointing a consumer-lending czar without submitting the appointment to the Senate for an up-or-down vote ("In Elizabeth Warren We Trust?," op-ed, Sept. 30).
Mr. Zywicki was right to criticize Ms. Warren for peddling the myth that medical costs cause most bankruptcies, long after it had been debunked, and for ignoring the role of "spiraling taxes." State and local taxes have risen, as public-employees have profited at taxpayer expense. Ms. Warren is wrong to treat bankruptcies as "medical" just because a small fraction of a bankrupt's debts were medical or caused by drug addiction or "uncontrolled gambling."
Hans Bader
Competitive Enterprise Institute
Regarding Ms. Warren's extra-Constitutional appointment by President Obama: Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, which grants the president recess appointment power, says this (and only this), "The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session."
That's it. But somehow over the years we have overlooked the key words "that may happen during the Recess." In other words, the Constitution allows for these appointments if an executive branch official dies or resigns or is fired, during the recess. It makes no provision for appointments that are deliberately delayed until recess, or that carry over through recess.
There are no "penumbras" or "emanations" leeching out of this provision. It's as clear as day, even to those who didn't go to Yale Law. But as far as I know, few challenge this practice based on what the Constitution clearly says.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- It sits along County Road 56 in rural Mower County. Population 678. A farm community. But is also home to one unique manufacturer. The only one of its kind in the entire U.S.
"You almost need pictures to describe it to people...its difficult," said James Fleming, field technician at Akkerman.
It's complicated to grasp when you talk technical, but when you boil it down, Akkerman makes one-of-a-kind tunneling and pipe-jacking equipment.
Their eye-catching machines, with their bright reds and blues, dig sewer and stormwater systems. Drills that can break up boulders.
Some powerful equipment developed by Maynard Akkerman's father years ago. Now the Earth Pressure Balance Machines are used all around the world, in all kinds of terrain.
Some of the machines made are brought back to be fixed up. The wear and tear on them shows just how rough the underground conditions are.
"We really take pride in what we do," said Aaron Bishop, CNC programmer at Akkerman.
That pride has lasted despite some setback. A couple of years ago they were very busy, now business has slowed.
"It feels like we're idling. Our volume is half of what it was in 2008. "
A bad housing market and tighter government budgets have a direct effect on Akkerman's work load. If new neighborhoods aren't built, no need for sewer systems.
"We would love to put out more work and re-hire some of the people we've let go," said Maynard Akkerman, president of the company.
Despite economic pressures, the Akkerman name remains in Brownsdale.
"I guess I've never given another area a thought...we have a good workforce, I'm perfectly happy with what we have here," said Akkerman.
That is something Bishop is glad to hear.
"Its so nice that I can have a job so close to home and that we're making parts in the U.S." Said Bishop.
Made not only in the U.S., but in tiny Brownsdale, Minnesota. A company that's pushed through the recession and cycling toward a busier future.
"Our international sales have picked up and I'm hopeful when the U.S. market bounces back and it will come back, I see a big resurgence in our market in the U.S." Said Akkerman.
This year Akkerman was recognized by the Minnesota Safety and Health Achievement program. It's just one of 39 companies in the state for having an outstanding health and safety program.

This month WWE.com is doing Women's History Month: featuring Divas from the past and present. In celebration, WWE Classics On Demand is featuring over 30 matches involving the Divas and Lita has a few of her own listed.
Raw – Matt Hardy/Lita vs. Eric Bischoff/Molly Holly
November 17, 2003 | Approx. run time: 14 mins.
A lot happened on this edition of Monday Night Raw. To begin, Lita was the guest of Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel. Jericho introduced the return of Matt Hardy to the Raw Brand. From that point forward everything went downhill. Relive the Highlight Reel, find out how this mixed tag involving Eric Bischoff came about and see one of the most heinous acts Matt Hardy has ever committed!
Armageddon 2003 – Chris Jericho/Christian vs. Lita/Trish Stratus
December 14, 2003 | Approx. run time: 11 mins.
Chris Jericho and Christian thought it was a harmless bet to see who could first get with either Lita or Trish. Once Trish Stratus found out about this, the ladies wanted revenge. Facing Jericho and Christian was probably not what they had in mind. GM Eric Bischoff felt differently and signed this "Battle of the Sexes" contest!
Raw – Lita vs. Trish Stratus
December 6, 2004 | Approx. run time: 9 mins.
When looking at all the Divas to ever grace WWE, the one that stands out as the greatest high-flyer has to be Lita. Lita and Trish Stratus always seemed to find each other no matter who the fan-favorite was. You won't believe how heated their rivalry becomes in this Women's Title match. Plus, one of the craziest (and scariest) moments during a Divas match to ever happen takes place; you won't believe what you're about to see!
One Night Stand 2006 – Edge, Mick Foley & Lita vs. Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer & Beulah
June 11, 2006 | Approx. run time: 29 mins.
One Night Stand 2006 featured an out of control Six-Person Tag Team Match. You won't believe all the crazy action and you'll see for yourself why this match is still talked about today!
Unforgiven – Trish Stratus vs. Lita
September 17, 2006 | Approx. run time: 23 mins.
Trish Stratus and Lita undoubtedly have the most storied rivalry between any two Divas in sports-entertainment history. Trish was ready to retire at Unforgiven and was hoping to go out on top as Women's Champion. Lita of course had other intentions. Find out who would walk out as champion by the end of the night.

Just last week, more than 20,000 people attended the eight performances of "Les Miserables" and officials say the show brought in more than $4.2 million for the Rochester economy.
RBTL's 2013-2014 season kicks off in October and includes "Ghost", "War House", Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "Sister Act", "Once" and "Phantom of the Opera."
