Sufferers of food allergies in Europe will find their shopping experience a little bit easier later this year.
On December 13 2014, a new European Commission directive comes into force allowing consumers to have clearer knowledge of the food they are thinking of eating.
The new regulations make it mandatory for the information to be shown clearly and in a prescribed format, even down to stating the minimum font size that must be used.
Information on allergens must also be made easily available in the case of unpackaged foods and at takeaways.
The legislation will cover producers and manufacturers at all stages of food production.

The new fall season: the ratings so far
On Monday, NBC won the night, with its lineup of Deal Or No Deal (9.6 million viewers), America's Toughest Jobs (6.5), and Dateline (6.2), but FOX won in the all-important 18 to 49 demographic with its lineup of the Sarah Connor Chronicles season premiere and a new episode of Prison Break. The Sarah Connor Chronicles grabbed 6.3 million viewers, while Prison Break did even better, with 6.5 million. CBS beat NBC in the 18-49 demo with their lineup of comedy repeats. ABC was fourth and The CW was fifth.
Over on cable, the news isn't good for the new vampire show True Blood. The series premiere on Sunday attracted only 1.4 million viewers. To put that in perspective, the debut episode of another HBO series, John From Cincinnati, grabbed 3.4 million viewers. Of course, that first episode was launched after the finale of The Sopranos, so that has to be taken into consideration.
On Tuesday, the good news continued for FOX. The premiere of Fringe had 9 million viewers (helping the network win the 18-49ers), while Hole in the Wall got around 5 million. They weren't the most watched shows of the night though. That was NBC's America's Got Talent, with over 11 million viewers. 90210 saw a big drop in viewers, and the premiere of Privileged didn't do so well either, with less than 3 million viewers.

Yard sale and lost pet signs: Are they legal and who's enforcing them?
Reporter: Valerie Cavazos
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -- Signs, signs are everywhere. Few neighborhoods escape those yard sale signs placed on street corners, money maker ads staked in medians and lost pet signs taped to posts. But are these signs legal and who is charge of enforcing the signs that are not?
There are plenty of signs to read peppered along practically every street and neighborhood in Tucson -- from signs selling just about anything in stores and in neighborhoods to pets lost and found.
And some of these paper or cardboard messages can remain up for a very long time. Businesses are required to get a permit for any sign on their property, but what about the rest of the community?
KGUN9 OYS wanted to find out if the owners knew whether their signs are legal. So KGUN9 reporter Valerie Cavazos called the number posted on one of the signs staked near a sidewalk of a busy street. The owner, who was selling a family mobile home, said she didn't have a permit for the sign and was confident her sign was legal. She said she saw a number of other people posting similar signs so she thought that she could too.
Cavazos also called the number listed on a lost dog sign taped to a pole. No one answered that call -- perhaps they found the dog.
Cavazos also contacted the owner of a colorful box that was placed in a median directing drivers to visit the Springhill Apartment Homes -- much like those directional yard sale signs we see around neighborhoods. Apartment manager Julissa Miranda placed that box in the median -- she even decorated it.
Miranda told Cavazos, "I started making our own boxes and we put balloons out there and they haven't taken those. "
Cavazos asked: "But do you know if they are legal?
Miranda: "The boxes? No. I don't really.
Cavazos: Do you want to know that?
"Yeah," Miranda said. And then after a slight hestitation she follows with a "no" and laughs.
After speaking to a few sign owners, KGUN9 wanted to know what is legal? Can a person put a temporary sign between the street and the sidewalk even for one day? According to city code, that answer is no because it's a public right of way, owned by the city. That includes fences and posts.
Teresa Williams is the Code Enforcement Manager for the City of Tucson's Housing and Community Development Department. She says all the scenarios we showcased are in violation of city code -- the rules stipulated in a 78 page sign code manual found on the city's website. "And our staff is responsible to enforce it," said Willaims. Which leads to this question, why aren't these sign codes being enforced?
"We're complaint driven. We do not have the staff to drive the streets to just look for signs to remove," said Willaims.
The city has 18 inspectors, covering 200 square miles. She says only only 2 percent of the 10,000 cases they handle are complaints of sign violations. She says the insectors often have a hard time reaching the violators. "A lot of times they don't have a number or address or name. They may have a phone number but once you tell them who you are they'll hang up. We don't know where they are so the effort put forth on trying to locate a responsible party -- our best effect is like grafitti, the best thing to do is just remove it," said Williams. The city says that extreme violators can be slapped with a citation, ranging from 150 to 25-hundred dollars.
The inspectors will remove and impound illegal signs, but not during an election season. The rules changed after the state passed a bill about a year ago. "Political signs are permitted to be placed in a public right of way 60 days before a primary and 15 days after a General Election. With that we've been directed not to remove any signs in the public right of way during the election time. Once that's expired we can resume removing signs on the public right of way," said Williams.
Cavazos went back to the Springfield Apartment Homes to let Julissa Miranda know that her sign is in violation, but the city is not cracking down on illegal signs. Miranda told Cavazos, "So now I know. So it's not going to happen until after November unless I have a permit."
Until then, we'll continue to see the signs.

Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire announced today that Tsuyoshi Nishioka will play second base this season, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Nishioka played primarily shortstop in Japan prior to signing a three-year, $9.25 million deal with the Twins this offseason. He won the batting title in Japan's Pacific League last season, when he hit .346.
With Nishioka at second base, Alexi Casilla will start at shortstop. When camp opened, both Nishiola and Casilla were all but guaranteed starting jobs in the middle infield. It wasn't certain, however, which player would start at which position.
Minnesota's middle infield will have a new look in 2011. Last season's starting shortstop, J.J. Hardy, was dealt to the Baltimore Orioles. And last season's starting second baseman, Orlando Hudson, signed with the San Diego Padres as a free agent.

2015 Nissan Frontier
The new 2015 Nissan Frontier will do a good business on the market in this mid-size truck segment, at least because of its huge power which makes vehicle dominant on and off the road. It is exactly the same concept as Crew Cab body and King Cab body styles. There will be choice of all-wheel drive configuration. As we heard from announcement, the vehicle will be presented in 2015 year.
2015 Nissan Frontier Specs
As we saw in 2014 Nissan Frontier model, vehicle was available with new aluminum alloy wheels, which were 16 inches for SV and PRO-4X trim level and choice of 18 inches wheel for SL. Although this vehicle is prepared for off-road drive, you will be surprised with fine leather seats which can be heated, garage door opener and moon roof inside cabin. Like in the current version of Nissan Frontier, except in S, you will find rear window with manual sliding which is standard for Crew Cab design. Beside that, interior of this mid-size truck contain and manual air conditioning, also steering wheel controls, cruise control and audio, if you want to use phone there is Bluetooth-Hands free, Bluetooth microphone, featured audio system and lot of other equipment that makes a long trips very comfortable for the passengers in this truck. There is the navigation system which helps during the drive of new 2015 Nissan Frontier.
In order to keep the normal weight of this vehicle, manufacturer will use aluminum and steel for body panel. It is announced that the new 2015 Nissan Frontier model will have a lightest weight at 3430 lbs while the heaviest weight for hybrid version is 4150 lbs.
It is heard in rumors that Nissan will offer V-6 engine for both AWD and RWD configuration. There will be used 3.5-liter engine which is connected with manual 6-speed transmission. Beside that, it also offers CVT transmission that use 2.5 liter engine. Vehicle is also provided with electric engine which produce 300 Nm. We do not expect diesel engine.
2015 Nissan Frontier Release Date and Price
The 2015 Nissan Frontier price is not confirmed yet, but we assume that it will be similar to the price of the current model. So its price will range from about $ 20,000 to $ 32,000. We also do not know when will the 2015 Frontier be released, but we assume that it will be in the mid of the 2014 year.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON – A 17-year-old is behind bars, accused of sexually abusing two young girls at the Sunset Athletic Center in Washington County.
Mitchell Kelly was taken into custody and arraigned Monday, after police say he inappropriately touched two girls following a swim lesson. Sergeant Bob Ray with the Washington County Sheriff's office says the abuse occurred in a secluded room.
Kelly began working as a swim coach and lifeguard at the center in October 2013. Before that, we worked at the Beaverton Swim Center. Sgt. Ray says detectives fear there may more victims, because of his job.
Ray says the club is cooperating with the investigation.

An early mentor of mine advised raising our heads often and working ON the business, instead of just IN the business. Similarly, current policy and consumer perceptions of our industry require that we all raise our heads and work ON the industry reputation instead of just IN our respective businesses.
Last month's 60 Minutes program and last night's broadcast of "America Tonight," produced by Al Jazeera America, are just the latest efforts to "expose" what Senator Jay Rockefeller (D, WV) has called a "dark underbelly" of the marketing business. This is not just about service providers, but affects every marketer and advertiser who uses consumer data to improve customer value. That is truly all of us. Our industry is under attack from both regulators and privacy advocates.
Granted, try as they may, neither broadcast program nor the multitude of hearings and workshops from Senator Rockefeller, the White House, the FTC and other regulators have demonstrated any actual harm to consumers caused by data-driven marketing – and in fact, all have acknowledged its tremendous value to consumers, business, and the economy. Data-driven marketing contributed $156 billion and 675,000 jobs to the US economy in 2012 according to the Value of Data study from the Data Driven Marketing Institute, a think tank of DMA.
To be clear, we are talking about (and protecting the use of) marketing data for marketing purposes. Data used for financial and healthcare eligibility and with children is already regulated (and should be).
DMA participated in these and other press efforts to clarify the facts and provide balance to the story. However, in both cases, producers seemed to be on a mission to pick up stones and look underneath them. Al Jazeera America last night claimed they called a list broker and spent $400 for a list of consumers – "no questions asked."
Knowing the checks and balances that list and data brokers use, we suspect that there is more to the purchase of that data than was reported, and while the company they claim to have sold them this list is not a DMA member, we've reached out to discuss their practices.
However, that is all beside the point.
The point is that public opinion is being shaped by these kinds of reports and it's up to all of us to band together and set the record straight.
Here's what you can do:
Self-regulation works. DMA has worked with our members to be the standard-setter and enforcement arm of our industry for more than four decades. The Guidelines for Ethical Business Practices set a high bar for responsible marketing, and are flexible enough to address ongoing changes in technology, markets, consumer interest and new business practices. DMA enforces these guidelines and punish bad actors. Further regulations would stifle innovation and would have a particularly devastating impact on businesses and our economy.
Together, we are stronger than any one company alone. Let's band together, re-commit ourselves to high standards and consumer-centric principles, and keep our industry healthy and flourishing.
We welcome your ideas in the comments section below.

What about the data I have on my computer? Option 1 - ITS will transfer your data when your new computer is installed. Music and pictures can drastically increase the amount of time it takes to transfer your data. If you have a large collection of music and pictures you may want to consider moving it to external storage before your scheduled installation appointment. We can install the new computer but another visit will need to be scheduled for large amounts of data trasnfer. Option 2 - You can do your own data transfer and receive, at no charge, a new USB drive which is yours to keep. Please let us know now if you would like to take advanatage of this option and do your own backup. This option is not available at the time of installation. Will I be able to print?If you have a new Windows computer you will find a folder on your desktop called Install My Printers. Inside you will find shortcuts to your department's networked printers. Simply double-click the shortcuts to install the networked printers. If you have a new Mac your printers will already be installed. What software is on the new computer? You will have all of the latest versions of software that Furman is licensed for already installed on your new machine. If you have purchased additional software licenses, please let us know ahead of time and we will do our best to have the software already installed on your machine before we come out for the install. Basic Furman software for Windows includes: Microsoft Office Suite, Anti-Virus, Datatel and some utilities such as Acrobat Reader. On Macs you will get Microsoft Office Suite, Anti-Virus and some utilities. For more software information look here: Standard Furman Software What happens to the old computer? The old machine is held for 30 days before we fully erase the hard drive. The machine will then be redeployed to another user so that Furman can get as much useful life from the machine as possible. If the machine is too old, we will dispose of it. How long will the installation take? The time needed to install your computer will be around 30 minutes. An appointment will be made with you for the installation. Don't forget to remove CDs or floppy disks from the computer before we arrive. If you would like ITS to backup and restore your data please add approximately 1 hour per 10 GB of data to the installation time. Do I need to be here when the computer is installed? It is required that you be present when your new computer is installed. We can do the installation without you present if we have written/email permission from you ahead of time. What kind of connections do I need in my office? An active, wired network connection with a good quality network cable and power connections are required to operate the computer. If we are installing a computer in a new location that does not currently have a computer installed you will want to check for these connections. It is our goal to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your new computer. A form will be brought along with your new computer for you to sign and send to ITS once your data is restored. Please call or email the IT Service Center if you have any questions or concerns.

Premium long life drive tyre.
195 indicates the section width of a tyre in millimetres.
65 is a tyre's aspect ratio which is its height from the base of the tread to the rim. This number represents a percentage of the tread width. For example, the height of this tyre is 65% of its width. Low profile tyres have smaller aspect ratio percentages.
Tyre Construction
R means that the tyre has radial ply construction, meaning the way in which it has been constructed. Most passenger tyres are constructed this way so you will rarely find a car tyre without an R.
15 indicates the diameter of the wheel rim. So if you are buying wheels for existing tyres, this is the size in inches you will require.
91 V is a symbol that indicates the maximum load capacity and speed at which a tyre can be safely operated, subject to the tyre being in sound condition, correctly fitted and with the recommended inflation pressure.

With regular tyres, a puncture generally means you lose steering control. It also puts you in added danger while changing the tyre on the roadside. With Run Flat Tyres, if your tyre gets punctured, there's no sudden deflation – meaning you can continue driving safely. This is because the tyre's thicker sidewall is significantly reinforced and made from heat resistant rubber. It can safely carry the weight of your car for a short period, despite a total loss of air pressure. Tyres with Run Flat Technology should only be fitted to vehicles that are equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Phone Skins
Off Worldby Aaron Synaptyx Fimister
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your device. Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
It has been 30 years since we visited the off world colonies for the first time. The blades of grass running against my feet, the origami classes and the late night rides in spinners. Nothing could replicate those memories. We've revisted five times (even one time when our friend Ridley directed us to do so).

The development of blood vessels either de novo (vasculogenesis) or from pre-existing vessels (angiogenesis) is a process with relevance to both embryogenesis and medicine. It can be studied particularly well in the zebrafish by taking advantage of its transparency, which allows the use of reporter lines that express Green Fluorescent Protein in endothelial cells, permitting the observation of vessels in the living embryo. The characterization of zebrafish mutants that exhibit a reduced or excessive number of vessels, or vessels with an aberrant morphology, is a key focus of the lab. We are using confocal microscopy, in situ hybridizations and antibody stainings to characterize those mutants, which have all been mapped to narrow regions of the respective chromosomes. Molecular techniques are being used to clone these genes positionally.
An additional interest in the lab is osteogenesis. The formation of bone is the net result of the interplay between osteoblasts (cells that build bone) and osteoclasts (cells that remodel bone). In a large scale mutant screen we have identified zebrafish mutants that affect osteoblast function and are studying the process of osteogenesis, using methods very similar to the ones mentioned above. We are particularly interested in mutants that exhibit excessive bone formation, as the functions of the underlying genes are relevant not only to larval development, but possibly also have clinical implications.

Figure 1: staining of endothelail cells (white) and myocardial cells (red) in the embryonic heart of a zebrafish embryo at 26 hours of development. The funel-shaped inner lining of the heart, the endocard, is connected to other endothelial cells which line neighbouring blood vessels.
Figure 2: two vertebrae of the zebrafish vertebral column (17days of development). The calicified matrix is highlighted in green, while osteoblasts, particularly covering the neural and hemal arches, can be seen due to expression of mCherry driven by an osteoblast-specific promoter. Life observation of osteoblasts is intrinsically difficult in mammalian species, but can be easily accomplished through use of transgenic zebrafish.

The MYBA Charter Show in Genoa is the largest show specialising in luxury charter yachts in Europe. The Y.CO Charter team has spent the last few days there and here we report our choices for Best In Show:
1. Mogambo – 74m
This gets the Y.CO vote as the most exciting superyacht to enter the charter market this year. Her interior is beautiful, with a very cool, contemporary feel. Packed with all the usual toys and entertainments, she also has a wonderful spa and beach club – the perfect charter yacht for everyone.
from €550,000 per week for 12 guests
2. Darlings Danama – 60m
Luxury motor yacht Darlings Danama boasts the biggest beach club and swim platform we have ever seen. With a light, bright interior and state of the art gym she makes another great addition to the charter market.
from €345,000 per week for 12 guests
3. Polar Star – 63m
We had to include the lovely motor yacht Polar Star in the list for her outstanding chef, who turns out Michelin star standard cuisine like it's going out of fashion.
from €395,000 per week for 12 guests
4. Raasta – 47m
The immaculately maintained Raasta stands out from the crowd for her stella crew. No one could fail to be impressed by the great food and slick service. Even the crew uniforms seem chicer than other yachts. Plus, we loved the DJ booth and huge speakers on the sundeck.
from €185,000 per week for 10/12 guests
5. Aurelia – 37m
Aurelia sees a very cool new addition to the charter yacht market. Inspired by her owner's love of GT racing, every element of the yacht incorporates subtle nods to his passion. With zero speed stabilizers, a great crew and an amazing chef, this is a brilliant mid-sized charter option.
from €105,000 per week for 8 guests
6. Salu – 30m
Size isn't everything – motor yacht Salu packs all the comforts of a large tri-deck yacht into a neat 30m package. We particularly like the master cabin on the main deck, her zero speed stabilizers and the fantastic shaded bridge deck – perfect for long, decadent lunches on the Riviera.
from €65,000 per week for 8 guests
7. Firecracker – 26m
We were blown away by the service onboard Firecracker. Without a doubt the slickest, most impressive operation we've seen on a yacht of this size and an excellent charter option for an entry level price.
from €43,000 per week for 8 guests
8. La Mirage – 52m
Any superyacht with 5 jetskis makes our list – this way no one gets left out of the fun. On top, La Mirage is a certified dive centre, so guests can qualify for PADI courses onboard. Perfect for sporty types.
from €217,000 per week for 12 guests
9. Kestrel – 32.4m
It's rare to see 4 cabins on a 100ft yacht, so Kestrel makes our list for her clever interior (and exterior) design. The use of space is ingenious – guests will feel like they're on a much larger yacht.
from €49,000 per week for 8 guests
Each of these luxury yachts is available to charter through Y.CO in the Mediterranean this summer. For more information on superyacht charter, contact our charter team.

Dear Mr. Berko: I would like to invest $100,000 of my individual retirement account (which is worth $330,000) in safe, dividend-paying stocks and bonds. I am 65 and probably will start using some of this money for living and travel expenses. I met with a "retirement specialist" who is the CEO of his firm in Center Valley, Pa. His strategy is to invest in an assortment of guaranteed annuities that index the Standard & Poor's 500 index and are guaranteed not to lose money; over time, they will always beat the market. Are you familiar with this strategy or with this man and his firm? I think I would prefer some good dividend-paying stocks. Do you think you could recommend a dozen or so stocks I should own?
Taking Stock: Avoid those equity-indexed annuities
BT, Bethlehem, Pa.
Dear BT: If you need to talk to a "retirement specialist," there are at least 20,000 people you can talk to in Bethlehem who receive Social Security checks every month. These folks can tell you more about retirement than 10 dozen of those apple-cheeked annuity outlaws — who won't give a fig or ficus about what they sell, as long as the commissions they earn are generous. Stay far away from Central Valley, because that CEO is going to skin you alive, and when he's finished with your hide, he'll toss you to the fish. Of course I'm familiar with his ridiculous strategy. Frankly, this CEO is one of these things: dumber than a chicken that can't cluck; a liar, grifter, cutpurse, psychopath and swindler; profoundly blind, deaf and dumb; or a combination of all of the above. This guy has no more conscience than a fox in a poultry farm, and I suspect that his professional qualifications are reflective of his mendacity.
I've been writing this column for nearly 40 years, so believe me when I say that unless Wall Street has found a way to change the laws of nature, there are no equity-indexed annuities or variable annuities that can perform better than the market. God just doesn't care enough about annuities to invest them with those powers. And there is no such animal as an equity-indexed annuity or variable annuity that is guaranteed not to lose money.
Therefore, every equity-indexed annuity and every variable annuity sold on this planet has a risk factor and can be worth a lot less than you invested.
This "retirement specialist" is what I call an articulate incompetent. His advice is lethal to your wealth, and the 12 percent commission he earns on "an assortment of guaranteed annuities" should be your first clue. Kiplinger, Standard & Poor's, Morningstar and others have published articles discussing the abuse and misuse of these products. The volume of complaints about equity-indexed and variable annuities currently exceeds the Securities and Exchange Commission's ability to respond. And the lack of integrity of the people who sell this stuff is frightening. I suggest that you Google "equity-indexed annuity fraud," and then sit back and start reading.

San Francisco Chronicle critic and TV columnist Tim Goodman is starting the "Dear networks, please renew!" lobbying early:
So let's make this easy: Dear Fox, TNT and ABC. Please renew "Lie to Me," "Trust Me" and "Life on Mars." These are high-quality shows. They are entertaining. Better yet, from a critical standpoint, they are meeting their potential - trending up, if you will. All of this despite your current or near-future tinkering.
To wit:
-- "Lie to Me" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox but shifts to 8 p.m. on March 4. Let's hope the fans figure that out.
-- "Trust Me" follows cable's most popular series, "The Closer," and there's a gigantic drop-off of viewers from there, making the meager numbers of "Trust Me" all the more glaring. But those shows are not compatible. It's a programming mistake; this series needs to be nurtured in the appropriate spot, not penalized for failing to hold onto viewers from TNT's highest-rated show.
-- "Life on Mars" had a nearly two-month gap between its seventh and eighth episodes - and when it came back it was on a different night.
So far, things are looking really good for Lie To Me, but admittedly that is before it changes time slots. Things were already turning south for Life on Mars, and last Wednesday, things took a turn for the worse.
It's much harder for us to handicap cable show renewals but as Goodman notes, Trust Me has quite a drop off from The Closer, and perhaps worse for the week ending February 8, it was TNT's thirteenth most watched program. It trailed both the initial airing and a rerun of Gifted Hands: Ben Carson, Leverage, two repeat airings of Shrek, three reruns of Law & Order and both the Thursday night NBA game (that was the Lakers/Celtics matchup) and the NBA game pregame.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Lawmakers are launching an investigation into what caused problems at the polls in Richland County, like long lines and broken machines.
"We know that somebody messed up and we're gonna find out who that person is," said Rep. Todd Rutherford.
"It is outrageous that someone would have to take four hours from their work to vote. That is denying, I think, to that fundamental right," said Rep. James Smith.
Both lawmakers showed up at the county election office with questions about what went wrong at the polls.
"To figure out what happened, to find out who's responsible, " said Rutherford. "To make sure it never happens again."
The entire Richland County legislative delegation will join with Richland County council member for a hearing next Tuesday at 11 a.m. to get answers on what happened, but Rutherford already has an idea about one thing that wasn't right in many county precincts.
"It violated the law, we in the state house make sure that there's one machine for every 250 people voting in a precinct that was not present yesterday," said Rutherford.
"We're gonna make sure the public understands what occurred so they can have confidence and know that there's gonna be a legitimate fix in place and it's not gonna be a problem going forward," said Smith.
South Carolina Republican Chairman Chad Connelly has also called for an independent investigation into the Richland County Election Commission.
"The voting problems in Richland County are absolutely unacceptable. Voters should not have to stand in line for three or more hours, or wait until 2AM, to cast their ballots. And it has taken all day TODAY - 24 hours after the polls closed - to tally votes," said Connelly. He says all voters deserve better from their government.

CLAYTON — Lake Ontario water levels are well below average at the moment, but experts say the lake is projected to reach long-term average levels in June and likely to get even higher later this summer.
During a panel discussion Saturday in Clayton, George V. Cotroneo, a representative of the International St. Lawrence River Board of Control, a binational organization that controls the Massena dam, said the lake currently is 7 inches below the long-term average and some 11 inches lower than it was this time last year.
"But there is a little bit of good news for Lake Ontario," Mr. Cotroneo said. "Based on current conditions and what the forecast is — for the weather conditions into the future over the next several months, as the best as we can guess it — Lake Ontario is going to reach its long-term average sometime in June, and it's got a good chance of being above average for the rest of the summer. So it'll be better than it was last year."
As of April 11, the lake was at 244.92 feet, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's website.
Last year, winter water levels were above average, but with little snowpack due to the mild weather, there also was little to no water supply from spring snowmelt. Meanwhile, until mid-March, the Board of Control was releasing large amounts of water from the lake based on early predictions of high summer water levels.
Additionally, the continuing loss of Great Lakes ice cover has led to more evaporation in the wintertime and a decline in water supply from Lake Erie, Ontario's primary source. All this contributed to low water levels and a shorter boating season last summer.
This year, the Board of Control also is expecting average precipitation and higher temperatures, which could lead to more evaporation later in the year.
"The board is looking to store water for Lake Ontario — if opportunities arise to where they can do that, especially to prevent flooding downstream — in case the evaporation starts to pick up toward the end of the year," Mr. Cotroneo said.
Mr. Cotroneo was part of a three-person panel — organized Saturday afternoon at the Clayton municipal arena by the International Water Levels Coalition as part of the Clayton Spring Boat Show — to discuss the impact of low water levels on commerce in the Lake Ontario-Upper St. Lawrence River region.
During the discussion, some were more concerned about future management of the lake and river, which would determine how the Board of Control regulates water levels over the next several decades, than the near-future forecasts.
Much of the debate Saturday surrounded Plan Bv7, a water-regulation plan proposed by the International Joint Commission that could replace the now half-century-old Plan 1958DD.
On one side, many residents living on the southern shore of Lake Ontario — such as Sodus Bay and Rochester — fear that the new plan threatens their waterfront properties and infrastructure by increasing the chances of flooding.
"Above 247.3 feet, we have a flooding condition," said Sodus Point Mayor Christopher Tertinek, adding that his village likely would "lose its pump station," causing sewage to flow into the lake under Bv7.
Mr. Tertinek also argued that flood damage caused by a water-management plan would not be covered by insurance.
"Manmade floods are not covered by insurance," he said.
Under 1958DD, which aims to maintain a four-foot water level range, 247.3 feet is the upper-limit and 243.3 feet is the lower-limit — and development along the lake's waterfront for decades has relied on the assumption that these standards would remain the status quo.
IJC's analysis of a century's worth of water level data shows that the Bv7 plan would have allowed for a high of about 248.5 feet, some 2.4 inches higher than that allowed under 1958DD.
The proposed plan was designed in part to increase the range of fluctuation between seasons to dredge wetlands in the winter and restore biodiversity by mimicking a more "natural" water flow.
Under Bv7, the IJC is anticipating a 40 percent increase in Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River-area wetland meadows — a highly diverse plant community and vital habitat for fish and wildlife.
Boaters also seem to welcome the plan as Bv7 would allow for overall longer boating seasons — even though implementation of the plan carries the risk of lower summer low levels as well.
On average, Bv7 is expected to increase spring water levels by 2.4 inches, summer levels by 1.2 inches and fall levels by 2 inches.
Proponents of Bv7 also argue that the construction of the Robert H. Moses-Saunders Power Dam, Massena, and IJC's "outdated" water-management plan have done enough damage to the region's ecosystem over the past 50 years.
Supporters — such as Save the River, a Clayton-based environmental advocacy group — have been praising Bv7 as a "balanced" solution that finally takes into consideration environmental and recreational boating interests that were neglected under the original management plan.
"We've all been working on this a long time. There are a lot of difficulties. But I know one thing: we have a 50-year-old plan, and it's not working," said Stephanie G. Weiss, assistant director of Save the River, who participated in the panel discussion Saturday. "We need to be looking for leadership somewhere in our state or federal government to find a solution where the 12, 13 million people that live around this basin can expect fresh water, healthier rivers, healthy lakes and also expect not to be flooded."

Hungry Anderson kids going home with backpacks of food this weekend
When the last bell rings on Friday, it signals the jubilant start of the weekend to many children.
To others, it is the sound of a long weekend of being hungry.
There are 11,000 hungry children in Anderson County, said Liz McElroy, Upstate district manager for Golden Harvest Food Bank.
The BackPak SnackPak program, an effort of the United Way of Anderson County, Salvation Army, local churches and the food bank, is trying to drop that number by sending home a gallon bag of food with children on Fridays.
School leaders expect the nourishment to boost attention span, prevent illness and reduce absences.
The first bags will go home this week with 900 elementary-age children in Anderson school districts 2, 3, 4 and 5. Counselors, teachers or nurses will discreetly tuck packs of nonperishable milk, fruit, cereal and pasta with beef into the backpacks of children who need them.
Williamston-based District 1 opted out of the program because local churches provide food for children.
"There are some schools not participating simply because they have a similar program in place," said Lynn Dingle, director of marketing for Anderson United Way.
United Way is funding the program at least through the end of the school year and plans to make it long term.
When the program began in the School District of Oconee County almost three years ago, schools tracked significant progress.
"They've discovered that 40 percent of nurse visits have decreased and absenteeism has decreased by 70 percent," McElroy said.
The 50 boxes delivered to Whitehall Elementary Thursday morning will only begin to meet the overall need in District 5. Homeland Park Elementary will be short 300 packs, said Kim Hoskins, guidance counselor at Whitehall.
It's a need she has observed many times at her own school. More than 75 percent of students there qualify for free and reduced-price meals, said Principal Kevin Snow.
"We've even seen children pack food in a napkin to take it home for the weekend," Hoskins said.
The program could expand to middle school and high school students, Dingle said, but United Way is focusing on feeding elementary school children because research has determined that from birth to age 8 is when they need the most nutrition to learn, read and concentrate.
Older children are "sometimes a little more resourceful than an elementary-age child," Dingle said.

Analyzing Microwave Spectra Collected by the Solar Radio Burst Locator
Date: May 2007
Creator: Kincaid, Cheryl-Annette
Description: Modern communication systems rely heavily upon microwave, radio, and other electromagnetic frequency bands as a means of providing wireless communication links. Although convenient, wireless communication is susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Solar activity causes both direct interference through electromagnetic radiation as well as indirect interference caused by charged particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field. The Solar Radio Burst Locator (SRBL) is a United States Air Force radio telescope designed to detect and locate solar microwave bursts as they occur on the Sun. By analyzing these events, the Air Force hopes to gain a better understanding of the root causes of solar interference and improve interference forecasts. This thesis presents methods of searching and analyzing events found in the previously unstudied SRBL data archive. A new web-based application aids in the searching and visualization of the data. Comparative analysis is performed amongst data collected by SRBL and several other instruments. This thesis also analyzes events across the time, intensity, and frequency domains. These analysis methods can be used to aid in the detection and understanding of solar events so as to provide improved forecasts of solar-induced electromagnetic interference.

Modeling the Impact and Intervention of a Sexually Transmitted Disease: Human Papilloma Virus
Date: May 2006
Creator: Corley, Courtney D.
Description: Many human papilloma virus (HPV) types are sexually transmitted and HPV DNA types 16, 18, 31, and 45 account for more than 75% if all cervical dysplasia. Candidate vaccines are successfully completing US Federal Drug Agency (FDA) phase III testing and several drug companies are in licensing arbitration. Once this vaccine become available it is unlikely that 100% vaccination coverage will be probable; hence, the need for vaccination strategies that will have the greatest reduction on the endemic prevalence of HPV. This thesis introduces two discrete-time models for evaluating the effect of demographic-biased vaccination strategies: one model incorporates temporal demographics (i.e., age) in population compartments; the other non-temporal demographics (i.e., race, ethnicity). Also presented is an intuitive Web-based interface that was developed to allow the user to evaluate the effects on prevalence of a demographic-biased intervention by tailoring the model parameters to specific demographics and geographical region.

Analysis of Web Services on J2EE Application Servers
Date: May 2004
Creator: Gosu, Adarsh Kumar
Description: The Internet became a standard way of exchanging business data between B2B and B2C applications and with this came the need for providing various services on the web instead of just static text and images. Web services are a new type of services offered via the web that aid in the creation of globally distributed applications. Web services are enhanced e-business applications that are easier to advertise and easier to discover on the Internet because of their flexibility and uniformity. In a real life scenario it is highly difficult to decide which J2EE application server to go for when deploying a enterprise web service. This thesis analyzes the various ways by which web services can be developed & deployed. Underlying protocols and crucial issues like EAI (enterprise application integration), asynchronous messaging, Registry tModel architecture etc have been considered in this research. This paper presents a report by analyzing what various J2EE application servers provide by doing a case study and by developing applications to test functionality.

A general purpose semantic parser using FrameNet and WordNet®.
Date: May 2004
Creator: Shi, Lei
Description: Syntactic parsing is one of the best understood language processing applications. Since language and grammar have been formally defined, it is easy for computers to parse the syntactic structure of natural language text. Does meaning have structure as well? If it has, how can we analyze the structure? Previous systems rely on a one-to-one correspondence between syntactic rules and semantic rules. But such systems can only be applied to limited fragments of English. In this thesis, we propose a general-purpose shallow semantic parser which utilizes a semantic network (WordNet), and a frame dataset (FrameNet). Semantic relations recognized by the parser are based on how human beings represent knowledge of the world. Parsing semantic structure allows semantic units and constituents to be accessed and processed in a more meaningful way than syntactic parsing, moving the automation of understanding natural language text to a higher level.

Hopfield Networks as an Error Correcting Technique for Speech Recognition
Date: May 2004
Creator: Bireddy, Chakradhar
Description: I experimented with Hopfield networks in the context of a voice-based, query-answering system. Hopfield networks are used to store and retrieve patterns. I used this technique to store queries represented as natural language sentences and I evaluated the accuracy of the technique for error correction in a spoken question-answering dialog between a computer and a user. I show that the use of an auto-associative Hopfield network helps make the speech recognition system more fault tolerant. I also looked at the available encoding schemes to convert a natural language sentence into a pattern of zeroes and ones that can be stored in the Hopfield network reliably, and I suggest scalable data representations which allow storing a large number of queries.

Impact of actual interference on capacity and call admission control in a CDMA network.
Date: May 2004
Creator: Parvez, Asad
Description: An overwhelming number of models in the literature use average inter-cell interference for the calculation of capacity of a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network. The advantage gained in terms of simplicity by using such models comes at the cost of rendering the exact location of a user within a cell irrelevant. We calculate the actual per-user interference and analyze the effect of user-distribution within a cell on the capacity of a CDMA network. We show that even though the capacity obtained using average interference is a good approximation to the capacity calculated using actual interference for a uniform user distribution, the deviation can be tremendously large for non-uniform user distributions. Call admission control (CAC) algorithms are responsible for efficient management of a network's resources while guaranteeing the quality of service and grade of service, i.e., accepting the maximum number of calls without affecting the quality of service of calls already present in the network. We design and implement global and local CAC algorithms, and through simulations compare their network throughput and blocking probabilities for varying mobility scenarios. We show that even though our global CAC is better at resource management, the lack of substantial gain in network throughput and ...

Performance comparison of data distribution management strategies in large-scale distributed simulation.
Date: May 2004
Creator: Dzermajko, Caron
Description: Data distribution management (DDM) is a High Level Architecture/Run-time Infrastructure (HLA/RTI) service that manages the distribution of state updates and interaction information in large-scale distributed simulations. The key to efficient DDM is to limit and control the volume of data exchanged during the simulation, to relay data to only those hosts requiring the data. This thesis focuses upon different DDM implementations and strategies. This thesis includes analysis of three DDM methods including the fixed grid-based, dynamic grid-based, and region-based methods. Also included is the use of multi-resolution modeling with various DDM strategies and analysis of the performance effects of aggregation/disaggregation with these strategies. Running numerous federation executions, I simulate four different scenarios on a cluster of workstations with a mini-RTI Kit framework and propose a set of benchmarks for a comparison of the DDM schemes. The goals of this work are to determine the most efficient model for applying each DDM scheme, discover the limitations of the scalability of the various DDM methods, evaluate the effects of aggregation/disaggregation on performance and resource usage, and present accepted benchmarks for use in future research.

Agent Extensions for Peer-to-Peer Networks.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Valiveti, Kalyan
Description: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have seen tremendous growth in development and usage in recent times. This attention has brought many developments as well as new challenges to these networks. We will show that agent extensions to P2P networks offer solutions to many problems faced by P2P networks. In this research, an attempt is made to bring together JXTA P2P infrastructure and Jinni, a Prolog based agent engine to form an agent based P2P network. On top of the JXTA, we define simple Java API providing P2P services for agent programming constructs. Jinni is deployed on this JXTA network using an automated code update mechanism. Experiments are conducted on this Jinni/JXTA platform to implement a simple agent communication and data exchange protocol.

An Analysis of Motivational Cues in Virtual Environments.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Voruganti, Lavanya
Description: Guiding navigation in virtual environments (VEs) is a challenging task. A key issue in the navigation of a virtual environment is to be able to strike a balance between the user's need to explore the environment freely and the designer's need to ensure that the user experiences all the important events in the VE. This thesis reports on a study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of various navigation cues that are used to motivate users towards a specific target location. The results of this study indicate some significant differences in how users responded to the various cues.

… Kira Davis, telling it like it is. What say you, GOP "leadership"? What say you, Threedonia Nation? What say you, BarryO?
From now on the official party strategy should be to only send minority Republicans to do public events/interviews/appearances. Every picture, every brochure, every interview, every meet and greet, everyTHING the GOP does between now and 2016 should have a non-white face at the forefront.
When the Obama stenographers at MSNBC start spewing lies about who wants sequestration, someone like Marco Rubio should be the media go-to guy sent out to dispute those lies.
When Chris Matthews starts talking about racist code words, someone like Nikki Haley should be who the party officially points to for a response.
Mia Love and Allen West are two powerful voices running upstream of the narrative. Republicans know these people, but non-political Americans generally don't. Right now, when someone says "Republican" the image is a Karl Rove-type. We need to make "minority" synonymous with "Republican".
