|Bioenergetic prediction of climate change impacts on northern mammals.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21680495 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Climate change will likely alter the distribution and abundance of northern mammals through a combination of direct, abiotic effects (e.g., changes in temperature and precipitation) and indirect, biotic effects (e.g., changes in the abundance of resources, competitors, and predators). Bioenergetic approaches are ideally suited to predicting the impacts of climate change because individual energy budgets integrate biotic and abiotic influences, and translate individual function into population and community outcomes. In this review, we illustrate how bioenergetics can be used to predict the regional biodiversity, species range limits, and community trophic organization of mammals under future climate scenarios. Although reliable prediction of climate change impacts for particular species requires better data and theory on the physiological ecology of northern mammals, two robust hypotheses emerge from the bioenergetic approaches presented here. First, the impacts of climate change in northern regions will be shaped by the appearance of new species at least as much as by the disappearance of current species. Second, seasonally inactive mammal species (e.g., hibernators), which are largely absent from the Canadian arctic at present, should undergo substantial increases in abundance and distribution in response to climate change, probably at the expense of continuously active mammals already present in the arctic.

Arjun is about a rebellious cop with an attitude, Arjun Raute. He becomes a part of Emergency Task Force (ETF) and solves mysterious crime investigative cases, which no one else can. But he doesn't hesitate to break any rules of the system and only believes in solving the crimes and helping the victims or affected families.
Arjun has earned a bad name for himself in the department and is thought to be the most unlikely candidate to head the ETF. But his ability to solve the case, his skill and technique is uncomparable and so he has been chosen. He is accompanied by an equally capable ETF team and together they will help fight crime and criminals.

In the film Hilary Swank plays a former Christian missionary who lost her faith after her family was tragically killed, and has since become a world-renowned expert in disproving religious phenomena. But when she investigates a small Louisiana town that is suffering from what appear to be the Biblical plagues, she realizes that science cannot explain what is happening and she must regain her faith to combat dark forces threatening the community.

Woodland during May-time,
dappled by shafts of shifting sunlight
filtering through the overhead canopy,
nestling in scattered patches of greenery,
bluebells are busy painting the scene,
like a Sherrin-print, hazy beauty
unfolds within wistful enchantment.
Dancing dust motes eddy and swirl,
between the darkness of tall trees,
stranded islands of colour swagger
and sway in an inviting breeze,
the heady, musky fragrance mingling
with fluttering butterflies on the wing
as my senses absorb nature's charm.
This gentle rolling sea of blue and green,
a floral tranquillity engaging my soul,
warming the heart, mid-morning beads
of glistening dew holding on resiliently,
flowers bedecked with sparkling diamonds,
watery jewels, soon to vanish forever,
will always live, in my May-time memories.

Series 1 - Episode 2: Alfriston
Rory and Paul head to the Ye Olde Smugglers Inne in East Sussex.
Rory and Paul begin their pub dig journey at the Command House pub in Chatham, Kent, digging through 400 years of naval history in search of Henry VIII's lost Tudor docks and relics from the time of Nelson and the British Empire. Surprisingly, no one has dug here before, so this is completely unchartered territory.
As the team begin to dig, they come down on the foundations of a huge Georgian storehouse, once filled with the cannon that armed ships like Nelson's 'Victory'. These were the weapons that helped turn the map of the world pink, and Rory and Paul deafen themselves by trying out a surviving example.
But the ultimate aim is to find archaeology from the time when Henry VIII and Elizabeth I ruled Britain. Finding the lost dockyard would be a major discovery, as it was where the fleet that destroyed the Spanish Armada in 1588 was based. Will they uncover what they're looking for?
But it's not all work: while the trenches are being deepened, Rory and Paul make a bucket load of grog and sample it – all in the interests of historical accuracy, of course!

FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the death of a woman who jumped off the New River Gorge Bridge.
The National Park Service says the 53-year-old woman stopped her car on the bridge on Wednesday, put a step stool next to the rail and climbed to the bridge's edge. She didn't respond to several motorists who stopped and tried to talk her.
The woman jumped and fell 876 feet.
The park service said Thursday that it and the Fayette County Sheriff's Department are investigating.

The Graduate Center offers more than thirty doctoral programs in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, including History.
Learn about the Graduate Center's core faculty,
including Distinguished Professor David Joselit (pictured),
on the Faculty Profiles page.
Through its extensive public programming, the Graduate Center contributes to the intellectual and cultural vitality of New York City.
The Graduate Center has announced its
Doctoral Student Parental Accommodation Policies.
Support for the Graduate Center ensures continued excellence in arts and
sciences graduate education, research, and public programming.
Semantics is an active and growing area of the Graduate Center's Linguistics Program. Recent dissertations have investigated de se/de re interpretations of Icelandic pronouns (Reeves), interpretations of quantifiers in Japanese (Kobuchi-Philip), indexicals in English (Bevington). On-going research by students is on topics as varied as the individual/stage level distinction, aspect and intensionality in Japanese, the nature of causation, causative alternations, wa and ga in Japanese, interpretations of quantifiers such as few and many, conditionals, and the logics of conversation. A number of students are looking at the first and second language acquisition of semantic concepts.
In addition to the two semester introduction to formal semantics, advanced seminars are regularly offered. Recent seminar topics, reflecting the research interests of the faculty, have included reference and anaphora, aspect, questions, unaccusativity, and events. A student-initiated reading group studies foundational papers in all areas of semantics.
Faculty have a particular interest in how their work interacts with syntax, pragmatics, acquisition, and philosophy of language. Students are likewise encouraged to think about how areas as diverse as syntax, pragmatics, philosophy of language, acquisition, and processing might influence their own development.

As we approach Child Passenger Safety Week, here are some important things to think about and remember:
Even though it is not required, REAR FACING UNTIL TWO YEARS of age is safest. Children who are 12 to 23 months old are FIVE TIMES SAFER if they face the rear rather than the front. Some folks worry about injury to the legs, but lower extremity injuries are rare in the rear-facing position which offers much better protection against spinal injuries. Many car seats available today have higher height and weight limits allowing you to use them longer than older seats. Every seat has a height and weight limit, and these limits can vary depending on whether the seat faces the rear or the front.
Children younger than 13 years old should ride in the back.
Car seats have an expiration date, usually 6 years after the manufacture date. Please do not use a seat that is more than 10 years old.
Car seats need to be replaced after an accident. Some insurance companies will cover the replacement cost. It may be possible to reuse a car seat after a minor crash. See http://nhtsa.gov/people/injury/childps/childrestraints/reuse/restraintreuse.htm for guidelines.
Avoid secondhand seats unless you are sure it has not been in an accident and it has not been recalled. It should have a sticker stating the manufacturer, the manufacture date, and the model number. You will need an owner's manual which is often available online.
Car sear injuries can happen OUTSIDE of the car, especially in children younger than 4 months of age. Suffocation or head injury due to falls can occur. If the seat must be elevated (like on a counter), then the child should be strapped in, the surface should be firm, the seat should be far from the edge of the surface, and there should be constant supervision.
If you plan on using a car seat on a plane, it should be FAA certified. Car seats are recommended on flights for children up to 4 years of age. Install them just as you would in a car with a lap-only belt. The car seat should be put in a window seat.
For an overall reference, check out http://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/on-the-go/pages/Car-Safety-Seats-Information-for-Families.aspx.
Be safe and enjoy the ride!

Gold's Underpinnings May Turn Out to Be WeakIt seems an easy momentum call to invest in gold, yet there may be a dramatic revision. The gold bugs have bloomed again, and the advertisements for cashing in your gold jewelry are everywhere. For those of us who have lived long enough, that was a good time to sell. I can remember a silver service that in 1979 was suddenly insured for $20,000 before the collapse, when it got reappraised back to the same price it was purchased for.
Gold seems to go up on Fed news, and seems to ignore the rest of the economic news. But TARP, which was supposed to be the government printing money again, has all but been paid back. And it may turn out that the Fed is not a mad hatter, after all. And bonds it is buying today, it may sell tomorrow.
GM successfully did its IPO, and again the government has been paid back.
The principal problem with gold as inflation hedge is unemployment, which is logged in at 9.5% in the official statistics, but is probably over 15% and could be over 20%, according to Shadow Government Statistics. This will be a very potent and persistent downward force on the price of goods.
And the main effect of unemployment is in home pricing. Foreclosures hit a new record in the third quarter, up to 2.45% of all prime fixed rate loans. And the Fed's action is an attempt to try and stabilize home prices, because if home prices end up in a tailspin, then it will be cash and not gold that will be the big winner.
For those in love with gold, every piece of news is an occasion to own more gold. It's a inflation hedge, a deflation hedge, it's a partridge in a pear tree. Nevertheless, after the economic problems in the late 1970s, early 80s, gold collapsed, and remained there for decades.
In the late 1970s gold got up to $750, but two decades later it still had trouble getting up to $300. I would be leery of graphs showing the 1970-1980, and graphs showing 2000-2010, when all the action is up. No matter what the argument, we are probably nearer to the end of the cycle than the beginning of the cycle, and as the recent events in Chile remind us, mines can collapse.

Big Pharma Not Ignoring Generex After AllI have been wondering where Big Pharma has been while tiny Generex (OTCQB:GNBT) has been plowing ahead with industry changing technologies. Namely, it's buccal delivery of drugs with its test case of insulin, and its cancer vaccine technology.
Today, August 5, 2010, Generex announced that Dr. Craig Eagle will be joining its scientific advisory board. Dr. Eagle was raised in Australia, and in 2001 joined Pfizer Australia. He is expert in oncology, and was brought to the U.S. in 2003, and is the head of oncology therapeutics at Pfizer (NYSE:PFE). He will bring his expertise to the trials Generex is conducting with its AE37 vaccine on prostate and breast cancers. This is good news for cancer sufferers everywhere, and good news for Generex shareholders.
I have asked where Big Pharma has been for months with regard to Generex, and now I have my answer. They are on the case.
I don't pay much attention to technical signals, but I rate this a fundamental buy signal, albeit a speculative one, since we don't have any Phase III completions. Pfizer should be interested. I thought they would be paying more attention to the insulin delivery system, but I'm going to take this announcement as awareness of all of the company's potential. This focus on the vaccine technology of Generex reinforces that the company has the depth. It is a double threat, but it will only take one of the technologies to work to make shareholders wealthy.

Nomis 2011 Holiday Line
Does anybody know of any links for the Nomis Holiday Line? The Nomis website is half assed right now and isn't showing anything reguarding this outerwear. The only website i've found that has the 2011 line is Lake Forest Snow N Sport Home Page, but the descriptions they give about waterproofing and breathability are all 20,000/15,000 which contradicts most of the same models on the Nomis website, so it's pretty confusing.

Fast, Fast, Fast
When it comes to a mortgage, why does fast matter?
The average financial institution takes 30 days to process a mortgage loan. At Bank of Utah, we work with our customers to complete the process in as little as 10 business days.
The difference a 10-day turnaround can make:
- A lower interest rate. You're in a better position to get the best interest rate possible if you can close quickly.

Pittsburgh 'great' in Reacher movie, says author
Author Lee Child's book isn't the only thing that's made it onto the big screen.
"I can say I starred in a movie with Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike," says Child, who makes a cameo appearance as a police sergeant in the new movie "Jack Reacher" based on his book "One Shot." "I was happy to do it."
"One Shot" is the ninth book in the Jack Reacher series. Child's new book, "A Wanted Man," will come out in September as No. 17. At last count, Child has been published in 95 countries and 40 languages with 60 million copies sold worldwide.
His small role gave Child some insight into the time commitment required by actors. What he experienced during production was minor compared to the effort Cruise puts into it. It was the actor's toughness that Child recognized immediately, starting at 7 a.m. the day his cameo was filmed.
"I thought that was quite early, but here I find that Tom Cruise had been filming for 36 hours straight, and he had an injured hand and never complained about it once." Child says. "It was then that I realized that he really was Reacher. They definitely picked the right guy."
And the right city.
Child says he enjoyed his time in Pittsburgh, visiting several times during filming.
"I love Pittsburgh," says Child, who will be in town for the premiere. "I grew up in an industrial city in England and went to college in Sheffield, which is the 'Steel City' of England. So, I felt right at home in Pittsburgh. It's my kind of city and my kind of people."
It wasn't exactly the place he first had in mind for the city in the movie, because it is a little too "famous" and a little too "distinctive," he says.
He initially thought it would take place in more of what he calls a "heartland " location. The Indiana city in the book was made up. But the film needed a real city, and he says Pittsburgh turned out to be perfect.
"Pittsburgh is such a handsome city," he says. "Pittsburgh looks great. There is a certain energy in Pittsburgh."
Child captured his time in Pittsburgh with souvenir photos.
"It was a really nice experience," Child says. "I will treasure it. And I want the people of Pittsburgh to understand how much fun it was for us. I know that Pittsburgh is known for its three rivers, but I want to add that it should be known for its three H's — honest, helpful and hardworking."

More than 1,500 acres burned in a Woodbridge brush fire Thursday. Since then, Shore-area firefighters have been busy responding to brush fires in various communities, including blazes reported Saturday in Marlboro, Eatontown, Little Egg Harbor and Lakewood, among others.
The reason is rather simple: It is that time of year again.
Lee Robertson of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly explained that brush fire season in New Jersey typically begins late in March and stays through May. At this time of year, the wet winter weather is beginning to dry, which has the same effect on the ...

Thank you
posted by philip in Snooth
I am not a fan of anything associated with "year in review" or "predictions for the upcoming year". And, don't get me started on New Years resolutions (if anything, they should be April resolutions, as most people's resolutions involve things like "get in shape" or "eat less candy" which is a little hard to do when there are festive leftovers and its frigid outside).
My objection with these sweeping proclamations is that they are either pointless reminiscences or pure flights of fancy. Most lists of the "10 things that are bound to happen in 2009" have a 20% accuracy rate, if lucky. What I would like to read, is whats actually going to happen in the coming year.
I don't know if Facebook will IPO, or if they will acquire Twitter, or if they will simply remain independent, and so I'll stay silent on the matter. The same with the wine market as a whole – while some are claiming the sky is falling, others are simply pointing to a mere 2% decline in consumer spending in the 4th quarter (after gas spend has been backed out) – hardly huge cause for consternation.
2008 clearly brought huge turmoil to many people, and I hope for a more stable 2009 for everyone. However, here I'm going to stick to what I know, and even better, what I can control (at least partly). And so, here's what will happen with Snooth in 2009.
- We'll work hard, release new features, improve those already there, make some mistakes, correct quickly and carry on.
- We'll listen carefully to you, our users – the community that makes this site what it is. I don't guarantee that we'll implement everything you ask for. In fact many feature requests, unfortunately, will never see the light of day as we have to prioritize how to spend our time and have to make sure we build features that benefit the most users.
- We'll make it a priority to provide a platform for professionals (stores, wineries, bloggers, critics etc.) to interact with our users.
- The Snooth API will be extended and you'll see Snooth powering the wine results of some very major sites.
- We'll grow our monthly user base to over 1,000,000 users per month.
- We'll have over 250,000 registered users.
- We'll generate sales for the wine industry of over $50 million.
These last three bullet points are neither wishes, nor wild hopes, but actually conservative forecasts based on our current data and our growth rates – in fact, there's a good chance we'll greatly exceed these numbers. In December 2008 we had 616,477 unique users use our site and over the course of 2008, our first full year of operations, had the pleasure of serving 2,508,254 unique individuals. These numbers represent a greater than 400% growth rate year over year.
And we now begin our journey into 2009, with over 70,000 registered users, 1 million wines in our database, 11,000 store inventories tracked across 50 countries and over 2 million reviews. Thanks to all your involvement, Snooth is the worlds largest interactive wine site, and poised to be the worlds largest wine site by the end of this year.
I speak on behalf of the lean, 7 person, Snooth team when I say its been an honor and a pleasure for each of us to have had the opportunity to meet, befriend and interact with so many of you. We all look forward to shepherding the site on your behalf for the many years to come.
Happy New Year to you all!

I recently took my youngest for his first dentist visit and spent the majority of my time in the waiting room recalling mine. Of course things were a little different then, but one thing remains the same; that first trip to the dentist chair is always a scary one.
Before the Visit
To tell the truth, as a kid I didn't pay much attention to my teeth. My mom and dad were always on me to brush them, but beyond that the only thought I ever gave to my mouth was what kind of candy to put in it. That of course ended when I had a sudden sharp pain at the back of my mouth. After some discussion amongst the parents, it was decided that mom was going to take me to see her dentist. Dad told me to lay off the candy.
The Day of the Visit
I had no idea what I was in for, and kind of thought the visit was going to be like a normal check-up at my doctor's office. Just to be safe though, I got my favorite Barbie doll ready to go too. As a back-up of course. My mom looked a little nervous when she started up the car. This is what got the butterflies in my stomach going.
The Reception Area
A dentist office has a distinct antiseptic smell that you don't find in a doctor's office. That smell is the only thing I remember as I sat swinging my legs in the chair waiting for my name to be called. Ms. Barbie was clutched in my hand the whole time. When they finally did open a door and call my name, I remember feeling like it was the longest walk of my life.
The Dentist
The first time seeing that chair when you are a little person is very intimidating. Of course all of the dentist tools were in plain sight, making it even more scary. I sat down clutching Barbie in that big chair and awaited a fate I was sure to be worse than death.
The dentist was a lot kinder than my doctor and made the whole visit pass as quickly as possible. Yes, I had a cavity (3 to be honest but who's counting) and he scheduled me for a series of follow up visits. He also gave me an electric toothbrush (it was one of the mid level Braun's) and told me that I better use if I wanted to keep the rest of my teeth, and told my mom about how a water flosser would also help. He said that if I liked it, they make kid's versions specifically from Waterpik. With a bag full of stickers and samples of toothpaste, me and Barbie were given a pat on the back and sent home.
The attitude of the dentist and his kindly demeanor is what made that first visit bearable. When I look back on my long list of memories with him, (I loved candy) it is not the painful procedures that I remember, but his smiling face letting me know everything was going to be alright.

I'm writing this letter in support of Cornell Wilson for city council. I've known Cornell Wilson for almost 22 years. Even though we are not from the same political party, I feel he is the best man for the job.
As a Republican, I feel there are times you might have to cross party lines to get the best candidate in office. This shouldn't be about party politics but more about who will do best for our city and well-being.
I've known Cornell to be one to help his community and care about Lebanon. He devotes a lot of time helping charity organizations, the youth and the community in general. He is always promoting events, attending events and participating in them. He gives a lot of his time and energy to make Lebanon a better place to live.
I know if I was ever in need of help or advice, I could count on Cornell being there for me. I know if elected he would bring responsibility and the necessary changes for the well-being of the citizens of Lebanon. I know he attends council meetings, speaks out, brings concerns and offers solutions.
I feel Cornell will not be a rubber-stamp or a yes-man. I know from many discussion and debates that he will fight for what he believes in and will stand up for what is best for our city and the tax payers. I also feel his experience on the school board, the many boards and committees he sits on and his diverse work experience makes him qualified for the job.
I encourage the voters of the city of Lebanon to get to know Cornell and give him your vote on Nov.

fall is interrupting our living spaces, pushing itself onto our footbeat streets.
dewdrops roll back into air and coalesce; grass pulls up its roots and walks away.
it is fall on the eleventh floor, and everything is burnt beyond recognition;
we are surprised when we discover our mirrors show us wearing scarves,
hats, shoes with toes. i hide my warmth under my arms, huddling under myself,
tabula rasa: a clean slate. fall is heavy and shivers on the wind.

Pope Benedict XVI: 'Pray for Me and Pray for the Next Pope'
Thousands Gather in St. Peter's Square to Express Love and Support to Pontiff
Vatican City, (ZENIT.org) Junno Arocho Esteves | 3554 hits
On Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI greeted an estimated 100,000 pilgrims who gathered for the midday Angelus in St. Peter's Square to catch a glimpse of the Holy Father before he resigns from the papacy Feb. 28. Many displayed their affection for him with signs that read "We Will Miss You" and shouting 'Viva il Papa' (Long live the Pope).
The 85-year-old Pontiff thanked the faithful for their continuing prayer and support.
Recalling the start of Lent, which began with the traditional distribution of ashes, Pope Benedict reminded the faithful that the Holy Season is a time of conversion and preparation for Easter. "The Church, who is mother and teacher, calls all of her members to renew themselves spiritually, to reorient themselves toward God, renouncing pride and egoism to live in love," the Pope said.
"In this Year of Faith, Easter is a favorable time to rediscover faith in God as a basic criterion for our life and the life of the Church. This always means a struggle, a spiritual combat, because the evil spirit naturally opposes our sanctification and seeks to turn us away from the path to God. That is why each year on the first Sunday of Lent the Gospel narrative of Jesus' temptation in the desert is proclaimed."
Continuing his address on Sunday's Gospel, Pope Benedict stated that the temptations by the devil were necessary for Christ to "unmask and reject the false images of the Messiah that the tempter proposed to him." The Holy Father went on to say that the three temptations of Christ were also false images of man that are disguised as suitable, and "even good proposals."
"The nucleus of these temptations always consists in instrumentalizing God for our own interests, giving more importance to success or to material goods," the Holy Father said. "The tempter is clever: he does not direct us immediately toward evil but toward a false good; making us believe that power and things that satiate primary needs are what is most real."
"In this manner," he continued, "God becomes secondary; he is reduced to a means, he becomes unreal, he no longer counts, he disappears. In the final analysis, faith is what is at stake in temptations because God is at stake. In the decisive moments of life and, in fact, in every moment of life, we are faced with a choice: do we want to follow the 'I' or God? Do we want to follow individual interest or rather the true Good, that which is really good?"
Recalling the teachings of the Fathers of the Church, Pope Benedict stated that temptations in the desert are the manifestation of Jesus' decent in our human condition, a descent that Jesus followed to the point of death. The Holy Father encouraged the faithful to not only be afraid to fight against the devil's temptation, but more importantly, to do it with Christ, "the Victor" and to turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary and "invoke her with filial confidence in the hour of trial."
Prayers for Next Pope
After the recitation of the Angelus, Pope Benedict greeted the pilgrims in various languages expressing his gratitude for expressions of support and love since he announced on Monday his intention to resign from the See of St. Peter.
Addressing the Spanish-speaking pilgrims, the Supreme Pontiff asked for continuing prayers for himself and for his successor. "I ask that you continue to pray for me and for the next Pope, as well as for the Spiritual Exercises, which I will begin this evening along with members of the Roman Curia," the Pope said.
"Full of faith and hope, we entrust the Church to the maternal protection of the Most Holy [Virgin] Mary."
In English, the Holy Father thanked the faithful "for the prayers and support you have shown me in these days."
Pope Benedict's next public appearance will be on Sunday, Feb. 24. This week the Holy Father, along with the Roman Curia, will attend the Lenten Spiritual exercises which will be led by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture.

Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds refer to a type of window or door covering that is comprised of adjustable or fixed slats that are parallel and vertically arranged. Just like horizontal blinds, vertical blinds are available in wide varieties of materials, such as plastic, metal, wood and fabric.
Vertical blinds are less susceptible to damage due to strong winds and they are also less likely to accumulate dirt. Vertical blinds are also easier and faster to operate because the slats can move more freely. The slats of movable vertical blinds are suspended on the upper track, allowing them to be easily pulled together, and they can be suspended with minimal need for horizontal support. Many vertical blinds are made of thick plastic slats that can be rotated or pulled on either sides of a window.
Plastic vertical blinds are commonly used homes and offices because they can easily be installed and operated. The vertical blinds that are intended for home and office use are small, lightweight and manually operated. These vertical blinds are commonly used indoors.
If you need movable or fixed vertical blinds for your home, you do not need to look further because you have come to the right place. Simply browse HomeBuilders.com.au for suppliers of vertical blinds.

Chicago Pneumatic will launch two initiatives at bauma in April. At the pre-bauma media dialogue in Munich, Germany, the company said it would show a new range of concrete equipment – three types of concrete poker vibrators and two concrete saws.
The poker vibrators, pneumatically, mechanically and electrically powered, come in the mot common sizes.The pneumatics (VPP series) feature low air consumption and work whenever they can access compressed air. The mechanical vibrators (VPM series) are accompanied by new diesel gasoline and electric drive units. The electric pokers (VPE series), are driven by a new VCE frequency converters and generators.
The company's new RX38 hydraulic breakers are designed for carrier units between 26 and 46 metric tons, giving Chicago Pneumatic representatives in the middle range where they been missing. The company says the breaker is for applications such as unstable ground, small rocks or thin concrete surfaces. It delivers 530-800 bpm in its EasyPower mode, providing a high impact rate with normal impact energy. It is easy enough to handle to work in overhead or horizontal positions says the company. – John Latta, Editor-in-Chief, reporting live from Munich, Germany

A study conducted by Columbia University Ph.D. students found that 93 percent of daily car travel done in America is within the battery range of electric vehicles.
The students analyzed data from the National Household Travel Survey where people reported the miles driven on individual trips and over the course of an entire day. The study found that 95 percent of one-way trips were 30 miles or less, far below the battery range of the EVs on the market today. Further, 93 percent of cars traveled less that 100 miles in a full day.
The 100-mile range mark is the standard goal for most automakers right now. Not every automaker has hit that mark exactly, but most are coming close. For instance, Nissan claims a 100-mile range for the LEAF, which applies to ideal driving conditions, while the EPA gave it a 73-mile range rating based on real-world driving. The Honda Fit EV, coming out this year, will have a range between 76 and 123 miles depending on driving conditions.
Battery range will continue to improve as technology moves forward and automakers get better at manufacturing EVs and as that happens, less and less people will be able to have "range anxiety."

You can't "make" anyone like you - you just have to be yourself and hope that you are what she is looking for. It's so damn hard waiting and wondering, but if you try to force her to like you the odds are that she'll think you're not being genuine. Good luck.

'Youth must remember the struggle'Comment on this story
Pretoria - Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille on Wednesday urged the youth to remember where the country came from and to use their votes to help shape the future.
"In this election it is important for the youth to remember the struggle of the past and vote to move South Africa forward again," she told reporters in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria.
Zille made the comments after her door-to-door campaigns in Soshanguve and Hammanskraal.
She said she had seen the conditions people lived in and promised a clean government.
Zille told residents of Soshanguve's Block R that the party was confident of winning the area and leading by example.
There had been a corruption scandal in the area that led to the resignation of an African National Congress (ANC) councillor, and she believed the DA was in the perfect position to benefit from that.
"You will have an honest councillor who will work for the people. A councillor who won't take free houses and sell them or put friends and family into those houses."
Zille told residents a vote for the DA was a step towards opportunities for people to uplift themselves.
She also accused President Jacob Zuma of taking the country backwards.
"Unfortunately, under Zuma there is corruption," she said.
"South Africa is much better than 20 years ago but sadly under... Zuma it is going backwards."
She was given a warm welcome as she conducted the door-to-door campaign ahead of the May 7 elections.
Throngs of supporters in blue party regalia sang and danced in the streets with "vote DA" posters.
A few ANC supporters danced and sang about Zuma a few metres from the park where the opposition leader addressed residents.

Master of illusion.
I can make things appear as true,
Though its obvious to me they are not.
Like the smile on my face,
So genuine, so true.
But look into my eyes,
Do you see happiness?
The absence of tears I made disappear
Creates another illusion.
And look at my heart-
Still together, beating strong,
But you see my creation.
My heart is in a thousand pieces,
Shattered by hardships of life
And lost loves.
Few know what I've endured
In my short time in the world.
To all I appear a young man,
Strong, courageous, fearing not.
But I am old and worn,
Fearing the next challenge life may present.
But no one can tell becsuse
I am the one known as Merlin,
Master of illusion.

State planners offer tools to ease holiday travel headaches
December 26, 2012
By Staff
NEW — 6 a.m. Dec. 26, 2012
The state Department of Transportation delivered gifts to holiday travelers — tips to avoid travel-related headaches.
The agency offers numerous travel information tools for motorists headed out between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Travelers planning to hit state highways can find information on the Department of Transportation website about the times and places drivers can expect to experience holiday weekend delays, including U.S. 2, Interstate 90, and Interstate 5 at the Canadian border, and between Olympia and Tacoma.
State transportation planners offer many ways for motorists to monitor travel conditions:
- Dial 511, the driver information phone line to provide current traffic, incident and closure information.
- Motorists can see information, such as camera images and maps, showing highway incidents and closures, on the agency's travel website, www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic.
- The agency also provides traveler information on Twitter, Facebook and for mobile devices. Motorists can also sign up for specialized email alerts.
- On the road, the agency provides real-time traffic updates on overhead and roadside electronic signs and on Highway Advisory Radio on AM channels 530 and 1610.
Motorists can expect heavy preholiday commutes out of metropolitan areas, and during holiday events. In addition, winter weather can add to travel times.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A stadium full of cheering fans, a roar, a collection of passionate voices none louder than the other.
"The feeling of fans coming together and being one 12th man is an awesome feeling," said Stephen Dickey.
But the power of one and the individual can't be denied.
"As a fan we have to stay loyal and stay true," says Jaguar super fan Dickey.
On game day he is a voice in the section 150 crowd. But every other day, his rings out loudest.
"Very few duplicates," Dickey says.
He has built a Jag room unlike any other with unique team treasures, autographs, photos, and team balls.
Probably the rarest thing he has is a monopoly box made for the Jaguars in the event they won the 1999 Superbowl, which, well, they didn't.
"It's sealed completely sealed. No game in it, just a box."
He's got signatures from every first round Jags pick on a college mini-helmet.
Even has a historic shoe Josh Scobee's cleat that is from the 59 yard field goal that beat Indianapolis in 2010.
"When he said I'll bring you a cleat I had no idea he meant the colt killer," Dickey said.
A collection started in 1999, he has no idea how much he has. So with a super fan like this how could anyone say Jags fans rank near the bottom of the NFL?
The list on TicketCity.Com uses attendance numbers, but also the number of team's Facebook likes and twitter followers.
"We haven't had the time to develop the fan base that these teams have," said Dickey. "As fans we have to stay loyal, stay true."
Win or lose Dickey is the individual that would be number one on any list.
"I love the team. Everyone has to have something and the jags just happen to be my something."

Proud of its 140-year history, Aoyama Gakuin University relocated its campuses to Aoyama and Sagamihara in 2013. As of today, the Aoyama campus has 7 Humanities and Social Science Departments with 15,000 registered students, while the Sagamihara campus has Science and Technology and Social Information Departments with approximately 5,000 students. The university consists of 9 undergraduate departments, 12 graduate schools, and more than 20,000 students in total. In recent years, the dramatic increase in usage of smartphones and tablets on campus have put an unpredicted amount of stress on the university's existing wireless LAN infrastructure, resulting in slow or poor Wi-Fi connectivity. How did Aoyama Gakuin University Institute of Information and Media overcome this challenge and provide reliable wireless connectivity for such a large student body?
Considering the changing communication environment and the increase in mobile device usage, Aoyama Gakuin University realized that its existing wireless LAN infrastructure needed to be expanded. However, providing a reliable wireless environment for over 20,000 students was not an easy task. In addition to controlling the total cost of ownership, the deployment was expected to be both time-consuming and difficult. Therefore, Aoyama Gakuin University hoped to find a solution that could provide reliable wireless access under a limited IT budget?
The Institute of Information and Media, which is in charge of the operation and support of the IT infrastructure on campus, came up with a comprehensive proposal. Since the last equipment renewal in 2009, the institute has been asked to improve the wireless network on campus. Mr. Mishima, an Assistant Professor of the Institute of Information and Media, recalls the situation:
"There were strong demands from faculty members regarding the expansion of the wireless LAN. Some even made comparisons between us and other schools. The equipment renewal of the school takes place every 5 years. Last time in 2009, we deployed some wireless access points (AP), but only in certain public areas such as cafeterias and common rooms where lots of students gather. Since professors and students have been increasingly using notebooks or tablets in lectures, they want a wireless LAN environment with high performance."
In order to address these issues, the university moved forward the wireless infrastructure upgrade that was originally scheduled for 2014. However, there were several concerns regarding the implementation, such as the total cost of the equipment and how the APs would be distributed to provide optimal coverage. "There are some buildings or floors without Ethernet cabling, causing restrictions for wireless LAN deployment. We thought about the possibility of laying Ethernet cables, but were forced to abandon that idea due to limited budget."
Despite the concerns, the project had to proceed and a solution was needed. Therefore, Mr. Sakata, a Research Associate from the Institute of Information and Media and a close associate of Mishima's, consulted with NTT Advanced Technology Corporation (NTT-AT), one of the companies selected as a candidate for the wireless LAN deployment. According to Sakata, the responses from NTT-AT were extremely surprising.
"Firstly, I asked about the deployment in classrooms. The number of APs and the plan given in their timely reply really amazed me! The floor plans of the buildings were available on the school website for reference, and they made full use of them, not only simulating the structures of the buildings, but even calculating radio wave interference to decide where the APs should be deployed. I never imagined that this was possible! Of course there was an on-site investigation, but the results were almost the same as the original suggestions. We felt that when compared with other vendors, NTT-AT really distinguished itself by demonstrating the know-hows of wireless LANs."
After consulting NTT-AT, Aoyama Gakuin University felt more optimistic about the deployment. Therefore, the last remaining issue was how to increase wireless coverage while staying within the budget limit. Once again, NTT-AT had a fitting solution. "The proposed 4ipnet wireless APs [EAP320] were very attractive in terms of cost performance. Therefore, we were able to increase the number of APs without exceeding the budget, and extend the Wi-Fi coverage expansion beyond what we had originally imaged. Moreover, in the locations without wired cabling, the APs can be connected to each other via wireless links*1. Lastly, we realized that it is possible deploy more APs when necessary, as the network is very scalable." After NTT-AT was asked to carry out the deployment, the project proceeded smoothly – by the spring of 2013, the wireless LAN deployments on both Aoyama and Sagamihara campuses were completed. What did the students and staff think of the wireless network? A smile appeared on Mishima's face as he continued:
"Across the entire Aoyama campus, the wireless coverage has increased to over 90%, while the Sagamihara campus also enjoys Wi-Fi coverage in selected academic buildings. Compared to what it was before, the pressure from students and faculty members has been substantially relieved. The achievement was not only due to the high performance of deployed APs, but also the optimized placement locations, which is attributed to NTT-AT's expertise."
Wrapping up the interview, Mishima talked about the university's future vision for its network infrastructure. "In order to make Wi-Fi widely accessible across the entire campus, we plan to deploy more wireless APs, starting from science laboratories, where initial deployment was postponed due to relatively lower user density. Perhaps with the increase of wireless APs, radio interference might occur again, but we don't feel worried as we are strongly confident about NTT-AT's expertise. With their advanced technology and knowledge, NTT-AT is capable of deploying optimized wireless LANs for us without any resources being wasted. They help us think in the shoes of the actual Wi-Fi users, and provide us with accurate, concise, and flexible feedback. That is the most important reason why we can rely on them."
Through its partnership with NTT-AT, 4ipnet has successfully delivered a fully-featured and competitively-priced wireless LAN solution to Aoyama Gakuin University. After the deployment, the number of Wi-Fi related complaints and issues have also drastically decreased, reflecting both the reliability of 4ipnet's solution as well as the high quality of initially deployment planning. With BYOD becoming ubiquitous and mobile usage rising rapidly, institutes of higher education will find that 4ipnet offers a flexible and effective managed wireless network, catering to all types of needs and situations.
Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) is the largest service provider of fixed line, mobile communication and broadband Internet access in Taiwan. In addition, CHT provides various additional services such as information security and Internet data center (IDC) to enterprises.
For the past few years, 3G networks in Taiwan have become increasingly congested due to the prevalence of smartphones and tablets, causing endless customer complaints and demands for improvement. As the leading operator in Taiwan's telecommunication industry, CHT was determined to provide a better communication environment for its customers. The available options for achieving this goal included expanding the current 3G infrastructure, upgrading to a 4G/LTE network, or offloading data traffic with Wi-Fi. However, the cost of expanding cellular coverage with additional base transceiver stations (BTS) was very prohibitive. When compared with the cost of deploying new BTS, Wi-Fi not only had a higher throughput but also lower radio access network (RAN) costs per gigabit. Therefore, from CHT's perspective it was a much more desirable solution.
CHT wished to find a carrier-grade Wi-Fi solution addressing the issues of security, capacity, and performance. After a thorough evaluation, CHT chose 4ipnet as its solution partner because of the functionality of its products, attentive customer support, and competitive pricing. To present, more than 150 WHG711 and WHG801 wireless LAN controllers have been deployed in CHT's data centers to service the 3G offloading for the Taiwanese public. 4ipnet's WHG-series controllers simultaneously support a wide array of carrier-grade authentication methods, including UAM, WISPr (Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming) Smart Client, and 802.1X transparent login. Due to CHT's alliance with iPass, a global leader in Wi-Fi roaming market, WISPr Smart Client was an essential feature. In addition, the controllers played an important role in CHT's "Wi-Fi offloading with automatic login" service introduced in 2013. After the service launched, users subscribed to CHT's 3G service could automatically switch to Wi-Fi and login via EAP-SIM authentication whenever in range of CHT's Wi-Fi hotspots. The hands-free switching between 3G and Wi-Fi eliminated complex login procedures that originally deterred users from transitioning to Wi-Fi, allowing CHT to successfully offload its data traffic and free up its network for enhanced voice call quality.
Once hundreds of thousands of users began offloading traffic through CHT's hotspots, maintaining the Wi-Fi network's performance was a top priority. Without proper network management, Wi-Fi would end up just as congested as 3G, defeating the initial purpose of offloading. This is where 4ipnet's solution played another key role in CHT's network. In addition to helping users seamlessly switch between 3G and Wi-Fi, the WHG controllers performed traffic analysis, traffic shaping, and bandwidth control. User policy enforcement allowed CHT to prevent abusive network usage by individual users and restricted unwanted traffic from clogging up network resources, ensuring the quality of Wi-Fi connectivity. The fine-grained control of user traffic provided CHT with a method to not only react more promptly to network issues, but also to better understand the behavior of its users.
With a 24/7 uptime requirement and each WHG processing the traffic load for thousands of VLANs, 4ipnet's solution has been field-proven for handling high capacity and large-scale nation-wide deployments. Additional features such as WAN port load balancing, failover and system redundancy further guarantees telco-grade reliability. CHT's customers can now enjoy enhanced quality of voice calls and high performance data transmission, and for CHT itself, this feat was accomplished under a maximal cost savings.

4ipnet announced the launch of its latest wireless LAN controller, the WHG201. Able to manage up to 10 4ipnet access points, the WHG201 is ideal for distributed site deployments and SMBs that require the same degree of wireless security and performance as large enterprises, but without hefty price tag.
4ipnet, a leading provider of competitive and comprehensive wireless LAN solutions for meeting the Wi-Fi demands of tomorrow, today announced the launch of its latest wireless LAN controller, the WHG201. Able to manage up to 10 4ipnet access points, the WHG201 is ideal for distributed site deployments and SMBs that require the same degree of wireless security and performance as large enterprises, but without hefty price tag. The WHG201 is also easy to deploy and has streamlined management functionality, minimizing the total cost of ownership and catering to smaller organizations with limited IT resources.
With a newly designed setup wizard, the WHG201's initial configuration can be easily completed even by those without a profound knowledge of wireless networking. For example, in addition to the automatic discovery and provisioning of access points, administrators are asked to provide an estimated quantity of users for the Wi-Fi network and whether or not bandwidth control per user is required. Based on the results, the system will then automatically generate optimized AP settings and user access policies. Finally, the administrator can separately configure the Ethernet port in single-WAN or dual-WAN operation, catering to deployment scenarios that need functions such as WAN port failover and load balancing.
On the performance end, the EAP705 comes with a two-stream 11ac design supporting up to 300 and 867 Mbps data rates in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, respectively. Features such as Multicast to Unicast conversion, Layer 2 Firewall, and Optimal Client Filtering ensure a smooth and uninterrupted multimedia experience, minimizing the number of packet retries while increasing overall network performance. With potentially more than 10 devices in a single hotel room, the EAP705 guarantees that all devices can simultaneously use bandwidth-hungry applications without any delays or interruptions.
Once the network is up and running, the WHG201's user access control and policy enforcement guarantees secure, reliable, and high performance Wi-Fi connectivity. Unauthorized users are prevented from accessing sensitive network resources, while individual user bandwidths are limited so that a single user does not congest the entire network. With the multitude of mobile devices in use today, many SMBs now realize that a stable Wi-Fi network cannot be maintained without proper access control functionality.
Finally, for large-scale distributed site and chain store deployments, multiple WHG201 and their respective access points can be centrally monitored by 4ipnet's upcoming Network Management System, the NMS100. Featuring multi-tenancy and a large storage capacity for remotely storing device configurations and system logs, the NMS100 helps administrators quickly detect and troubleshoot network issues at any of the locations. The WHG201 allows each site to independently perform user access control and monitoring with a minimal cost per site, striking a perfect balance between cost and performance.
The WHG201 is available immediately. Please visit http://www.4ipnet.com/purchase to make an inquiry.
