Fishermen and women, are you ready to take to the lakes and streams?
April 1 marks opening day of the trout season and Jake DeCapio has been busily stocking the shelves at The Wayfarer Company, preparing for the big day.
With 30 years of opening days under his belt, the life-long fisherman and native of Marcellus said he has to have thousands of dollars of orders in and the shelves loaded with gear before the rush.
"It's really busy," DeCapio said. "We have people from out of state who come here to fish."
The bait and tackle shop caters to Otisco and Skaneateles lakes as well as Nine Mile Creek, which just happens to flow through the area across the street on Route 174 from the once dilapidated building.
Nine Mile Creek is stocked by Carpenter's Brook Fish Hatchery each season and usually lets 20,000 fingerlings swim free. The creek offers a more consistent fishery and is also one of the premier trout fishing spots, and that's something DeCapio would know.
"I have a compulsive disorder with fishing," he said smiling.
When he was a kid, finding tackle was difficult -- there weren't many bait shops around, the Internet wasn't in use and if you didn't have a driver's license you were out of luck getting to the shops in Syracuse.
"This was a dilapidated building," DeCapio said. "When I was I kid it was a hassle to buy any kind of fishing gear -- I saw a need."
After many years of being a bar and then falling into disarray, DeCapio purchased the property 13 years ago and brought it up to code. The location fit perfectly for the use of the building.
On opening day, Daniel's Grill in Marcellus will cater a fisherman's breakfast from 7 a.m. to noon at the bait and fly shop. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches are on the menu along with many other treats.

Nanoscale Research Letters 2011, 6:548 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-6-548Published: 5 October 2011
High-quality Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 nano-powders were synthesized by the solution combustion process. The size of the synthesized Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 powders was approximately 23 nm. The green pellets were sintered at 1150-1300°C at a step size of 50°C. Sintered Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 bodies crystallized in the perovskite structure with an orthorhombic symmetry. The sintering temperature did not affect the Seebeck coefficient, but significantly affected the electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 increased with increasing temperature, indicating a semiconducting behavior. The absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient gradually increased with an increase in temperature. The highest power factor (3.7 × 10-5 Wm-1 K-2 at 800°C) was obtained for Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 sintered at 1,250°C. In this study, we investigated the microstructure and thermoelectric properties of Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3, depending on sintering temperature.

Governor Pence Urges Cabinet to Aim For `Great'
Created by kblakeslee on 1/16/2013 12:52:06 PM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Gov. Mike Pence is urging members of his Cabinet to take state government from ``good to great'' with copies of a management book by the same name.
The Pence Cabinet met for the first time Wednesday morning in the governor's Statehouse office. Sitting in front of each of Pence's top aides was a copy of Jim Collins's 2001 book ``Good to Great'' and a printout of the governor's first proposed budget.
Pence said he's asking his deputies to look at improving their respective departments.
Pence was sworn in as Indiana's 50th governor Monday and quickly got to work. He has hired heads for the majority of state agencies and departments but hasn't decided who will lead the Family and Social Services Administration and the Department of Child Services.


text: In Italian, Giardiniera means "from the garden" and this relish with vegetables and peppers goes back hundreds of years to Italy where it started as a homemade tradition. This marinated vegetable mix showed up in deli's around Chicago in the early 1920's and Pagliacci's Giardiniera is one of our favorites. It is comprised of hot peppers, celery, bell peppers, cauliflower, carrots and pitted green olives in soybean oil, vinegar and spices. Generally used as a condiment on sandwiches or antipasto plates, Pagliacci Hot Giardiniera goes great on Italian Beef Sandwiches or a myriad of cold cuts.

SCI-Arc NEWS
The March 2010 issue of Dwell magazine features SYNTHe – the first city-approved green roof in Los Angeles. The 3000 sq. ft. structure was build by faculty member Alexis Rochas and his students in the Community Outreach and Design Building program at SCI-Arc. Completed in 2009, the galvanized sheet metal structure lies atop the Flat, a six-story downtown apartment complex.
Rochas and students worked with the city of Los Angeles and project developer Bret Mosher to create the multifunctional modular structure that "acts like a shell, hiding beneath it the utilitarian infrastructure that is often found on the top of urban buildings."
"Ridges of the laser-cut structure form seating and leisure areas for the building's residents, creating a uniquely active space high above the pavement," writes Dwell reporter Nate Berg.
SCI-Arc alumna Barbara Bestor picked up kudos from Dwell for the Venice Beach Surf Shack she designed for creative director Eric Grunbaum. Writes Dwell, "Bestor has a formidable reputation in Southern California for her bohemian modernism, and for Grunbaum, she created a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath home that harbors a traditional sensibility with a contemporary heart."

Guess What's In Ben & Jerry's New NYC Flavor?
The result? Fairtrade vanilla ice cream infused with Sixpoint Brewery 3Beans beer (concocted from Mast Brothers' chocolate), Spoonable Caramels' butterscotch swirl, Greyston Bakery brownies, and Liddabit Sweets. If these locally made ingredients don't represent New York and all its yummy goodness, we're not quite sure what does. You may have missed the one-time-only tasting, but there may be plans to make more of the flavor in the future. Of course, we'll take any of those NY-inspired ingredients on their own any day.

Recent talks suggest Congress has put transportation funding on the back burner
Posted By Wayne Grayson On June 11, 2013 @ 9:50 am In Construction News | No Comments
[1]After attending last week's Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) fly-in visit with Congress, John Latta, the editor of our sister site Better Roads, writes [2] that the overall feeling among the contractors and agency officials that were there is that lawmakers do not share their sense of urgency about securing funding for transportation infrastructure.
"A common theme they heard was that reauthorization is 16 months away, so we have time," Latta wrote after speaking with attendees. "Another was that virtually no politicians are prepared to talk about funding options, including gas tax hikes, [3] but have mastered the doublespeak of 'the are a number of options we are looking at.' Don't ask what they are; you won't get much of an answer."
Twenty nine national associations and construction unions make up the TCC, which each year makes a trip to Washington to make sure elected officials understand what's going on in transportation and what kind of funding is necessary.
At present, "immigration, IRS scandals and debt" along with the ongoing talks over the Benghazi situation have pushed transportation to the back burner—despite the recent attention provided by the partial collapse of a bridge spanning the Skagit River on Interstate 5 in Washington state. [4]
"Transportation is on the second tier if we are lucky," Latta writes.
However, he and the rest of the TCC don't consider the fly-in a complete waste as it's important to keep the discussion with lawmakers fresh. As one contractor from Kansas told John, "We probably didn't make a lot of headway, but not to go is suicide."
Latta recommends everyone in the construction and transportation industries continue to remind their Congressmen about the importance of infrastructure funding. You can read his full thoughts on the TCC fly-in by clicking here. [2]

With barely a month and a half to go before commencing the Blackberry 12th Philippine Hobie Challenge, some 20 teams from around the world have already signed up for the six day sailing adventure through Northern Palawan, the Philippines' last frontier.
Children welcome the boats on Sibuyan Island - Philippine Hobie Challenge 2011
The latest edition of one of Asia's most extreme sailing events will take its intrepid sailors through some of the most scenic island chains in the Philippine archipelago. Starting from the turquoise waters of Coron island (the scene of one of the most successful US Navy bombing missions in WWII wherein over 40 Japanese maritime vessels were sunk), the H16s will make their way down through the exotic Busuanga archipelago (with dozens of white sand beaches tempting you every couple of miles) before crossing the tempestuous Linapacan straits (the channel where the South China sea enters the Sulu sea); the fleet will then have to traverse the many pearl farms dotting Linapacan island before aiming for the Northern tip of Palawan island, rounding the cape and eventually finishing at Miniloc Resort, one of the country's most beautiful island destinations (it's quietly nestled amongst the dramatic limestone karst cliffs that dot the El Nido archipelago).
Sounds like the adventure of a lifetime? You bet. Unfortunately, the Organizers will only be accepting entries until 31 January, 2012 -- so sign up now!
Learn more about the event and download updated NoRs and Course details through the PHC12's website: www.philhobie.ph
Bon-Bon Beach, Romblon, Philippines. Philippone Hobie Challenge X, 2009
The Philippine Hobie Association joins forces with the Solar Energy Foundation
This March, PHINSAF (Philippines Inter-Island Sailing Federation) together with Solar Energy Foundation (Stiftung Solarenergie), will distribute 500 free solar home systems to light up local fishing communities around Palawan. An integral part of the Hobie Challenge is interaction with the local fishing communities that host the Challenge sailors. These fisherfolk, whose livelihoods depend on the sea, appreciate the rigours that the sailors go through to reach them and eagerly welcome the sailors into their community. They guard the sailors' camps at night, replenish their food, water and fuel as well provide valuable information about the sea conditions in the area. Their local knowledge about tides, currents, wind direction and anchorages are indispensable for the fleet. As such, the sailors are obliged to give something back.
By providing them with a sustainable economic solution for increasing night-time productivity, the lives of these villagers are improved. Students can do their homework and parents can continue productive work. This is called 'Sail for Light', and continues the legacy of building a network of solar advocates with the Hobie Challenge sailors to spread the foundation's mission of providing access to solar energy.
Join our sailors as they shed light across the seas and help to fulfil the ultimate goal to bring light to 3.5million homes in the Philippines.

Disney Princesses Ideal Types
The artist of these photos put together these images of the Disney Princesses using composites of photographs of real women. He said that he wanted to maintain the "original quirks" of the Disney Princesses, while still making them appear as if they were real women.
Too Efficient
This picture taken above shows a popular trend across Colorado Boulevard. Over the past several weeks, construction workers have been resurfacing the roads and repainting the lane lines throughout various parts of the road near Occidental College's campus. I did not think much of this event until a car in front of me did not notice the construction, and escaped a near accident. This event instantly brings up Weber's studies on the Protestant Work Ethic. In spite of the increased efficiency by working with reduced traffic at night, the road workers are putting drivers at risk. With the lack of warning signs, the driver in front of me could not visibly see the workers and their equipment.
This desire, especially in the United States to maximize time and profit, is growing to an overwhelming extent. Our community has grown too much into a goal-oriented society. The final result is all the road workers can visualize without thinking of the liability towards reaching their end goal. Profit is taking priority over safety. Based on this almost disastrous event, I ask: 1) Is a goal-oriented society sustainable despite the lack of safety measures? 2) How is the United States perceived by the rest of the world as being a goal-oriented society?
Authority And Sports Teams
Capitalism Putting a Price on Heartbreak
This picture was taken out in LA. A few things stood out as relating to what we have learned about the capitalistic society. First the loss of individuality and individual feelings. The bold declarations of the prices for divorce, incorporation and living trust seem almost blasphemous, as they simplify and put prices on situations that are extremely personal and emotional. This would have to do with rationality, the idea discussed by Weber. Instead of reacting to the emotional aspects of divorce, this service advertises its prices rather than its support or empathy.
Charismatic Authority in Action
Quick background: Joyce Meyer is an international Christian speaker and author. She has a television broadcast, hosts conventions year-round within the U.S. and travels to various countries abroad with her messages, even having them translated in nearly fifty languages. Her ministry teaches Christian doctrines as well as conducts hands-on community outreach programs such as disaster relief, Human Trafficking Rescue, Medical and Prison missions, etc.
Weber And Baseball
I took this picture at an LA Dodgers game and I think it depicts an interesting display of authority. After the game people were allowed to go onto the field to watch a fireworks display. I was in the upper deck so I decided stay were I was and watch the mad rush onto the field.

The Washington Post reports that D.C. councilman (and four-time mayor) Marion Barry has "launched a last ditch effort to slow or derail the city's planned streetcar line on H Street, arguing it's not been well-thought out and is too expensive for the number of riders it will serve."
The H Street streetcar, which will serve a rapidly gentrifying area of the nation's capital, will cost $200 million to build and require an annual $8 million subsidy – yet it will serve fewer than 2,000 riders each day, according to the D.C. District Department of Transportation. It's the first line in a planned $1.5 billion, 37-mile streetcar network – this, despite the fact that D.C. already has extensive Metro and bus services.
Barry rightly points out that H Street is already well served by frequent bus service. (I took it this morning, actually.) His objections to the streetcar point to the key, unacknowledged fact of light rail development: It has little to do with moving people from Point A to Point B. Rather, light rail and streetcars are increasingly seen as a tools of economic development, with advocates claiming that rail organically spurs commercial development. Of course . . . that isn't true. And what's worse, cities like Portland, Oregon, which have invested heavily in rail, are punishing commuters by cutting bus service and raising fares to pay for their lavish "investments."
The D.C. council looks likely to ignore Barry though, and will probably continue throwing money at the streetcar. After all, opposing rail and streetcar development has become a "third rail" in municipal politics across the country. Even Phoenix (Phoenix!) has built light rail. But you know urban politics are messed up when Marion Barry is the one making sense.

Why have the emerging megacities of the Global South spread so suddenly into our global consciousness? There are excellent practical reasons for caring about the megacity future, of course, but something more seems to be going on here. Rana Dasgupta lays out some possibilities in his sharp essay, The Sudden Stardom of the Third-World City:
"My feeling is that these are early symptoms of a huge shift in the wests picture of the world: the Third-World metropolis is becoming the symbol of the new. This is all the more thrilling for its utter improbability: surely those suffocating piles of slums and desperation are too exhausted, too moribund, to bring forth futures? But it seems to me this is exactly what is happening. If, for the better part of the 20th century, it was New York and its glistening imitations that symbolised the future, it is now the stacked-up, sprawling, impromptu city-countries of the third world. The idea of the total, centralised, maximally efficient city plan has long since lost its futuristic appeal: its confidence and ambition have turned to anxiety and besiegement, its homogenising obsession has constricted the horizons of spiritual possibility and induced counter-fantasies of insubordination, excess, and life-forms in chaotic variety. Such desires flee the Wests surveillance cameras and bureaucratised consumption to find in the Third World metropolis a scope, a speed, a more fecund ecology. "

Prediction game (Chicago) _ Raycroft to the rescue
All right, I know the Blackhawks are hungry and desperate for a home win, but how can I pick against Andrew Raycroft flying in on a moment's notice. The guy has been money lately.
So let's say the two teams are focused in on defense, and this will be a very good game by two backup goalies.
So give me a Stars win.
(By the way, gloriousprunes with the win in the last game, picking Columbus with a 3-1 win (it was 3-2 Blue Jackets) and Rick Nash as first star).
Here's tonight's game:
Dallas 2, Chicago 1
First goal: Stephane Robidas at 1:34 of the second period.
Andrew Raycroft saves: 33
Corey Crawford saves: 25

Prince William's ex-girlfriend Kate Middleton blames William's father Prince Charles for the couple's break-up.
The brunette works at UK fashion chain Jigsaw and blurted the reason for the split to worried work colleagues, saying, "It's because of his daddy."
Charles is said to have advised his son to ditch his girlfriend unless he planned to marry her, to avoid the mistakes he made with Diana.
Jigsaw co-worker Philip Higgs tattles to the British rags: "Normally, Kate doesn't talk about anything. She's very quiet. But it was as if she'd reached boiling point from one sympathetic question too many."

Paula Hunter, supervisor of the South Animal Care Center in Melbourne, makes life-or-death decisions every day.

Brevard County should worry less about running "no-kill" shelters and focus on finding homes or rescuers for every healthy or treatable dog and cat it takes in.
Those probably sound like similar aims, but they're not.
The first is an impossible goal for Brevard Animal Services, given the condition of nearly nine of 10 animals it must put down.
The second appears achievable - and soon - especially with homeless dogs. Yet, you'd never know that from the dismal statistic everyone dwells upon in public: the "live release rate" from shelters.
Out of every 10 animals that have arrived at county shelters in Melbourne and Titusville since 2009, five or six have left alive to homes or rescue organizations.
"If the County Commission's goal is to move to no-kill, there's a lot of work ahead of us," County Manager told FLORIDA TODAY for a report Sunday. "We're certainly not satisfied with where we're at."
But I found a far better number than the live-release rate for taxpayers and animal lovers to remember: 63.
That's how many healthy or "treatable/rehabilitatable" animals county government puts down per month, on average.
That's how many more adoptable animals the county and its partners must market to the public to avoid killing any more adoptable animals. I calculated that number from department records from August, September and October.
Dogs vs. cats
If 63 more adoptions per month looks doable, consider that just 15 of those healthy animals are dogs. True, they're mostly pit-bull-mix dogs (not everyone's favorite). But I'd be stunned if Brevard doesn't have 15 more homes per month shopping for pit bulls. That would increase dog adoptions by 14 percent for a total of 104 a month.
We can save nearly all the healthy dogs.
Cats pose the tougher challenge for taxpayers and county animal officials.
Our shelters euthanized 48 healthy or treatable cats on average during the months I studied. Cat adoptions must grow 41 percent - to 165 cats per month - to achieve a goal of "live releasing" all those deemed fit for it.
It could happen, especially if Brevard follows through on plans for mega-adoption events with SPCA of North Brevard.
Know any cat people?
So why the continued gloom-and-doom about killing dogs and cats?
Because the mortality rate at shelters seems likely to remain high.
Out of 1,399 animals killed in the months I examined, 88 percent were deemed "unhealthy and untreatable," county records show.
Of those unhealthy animals, 71 percent were cats. Overall, cats accounted for two-thirds of all euthanasia at county shelters, records show.
"It makes me feel horrible," South Animal Care Center supervisor Paula Hunter told FLORIDA TODAY. "I remember all those animals. I can close my eyes and see all their faces."
The better goal
I can't imagine her sadness.
Nor can I imagine what the county would do if it did not euthanize 411 "unhealthy and untreatable" animals per month - twice the rate of adoptions.
Brevard will never heal and adopt 411 unhealthy animals every month. Ever.
Yet Animal Services continues to count most of them against its live-release rate, records show (it doesn't count some sick animals euthanized at their owners' request).
County Commissioners and animal advocates continue to set a goal of a 90 percent live-release rate as the threshold for achieving "no-kill" status. And people who don't know better continue to flog county commissioners and shelter staff for not achieving it.
By that measure, Brevard will have a long way to go ... forever.
But we can surely come close to adopting an additional 63 dogs and cats per month.
For the public and the animals, that is the realistic and righteous goal.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Gregory Ferdinandsen,
It's pretty straightforward, with plenty of notes in the SP.
It can either rebuild/reorg all databases or just a selected database. Options are there to prevent small indexes from being redone (there is not much point in rebuilding an idex with only a few pages). You can also prevent it from reindexing large indexes, one that you may prefer to do manually. If the edition of SQL supports it, it will do online rebuilds. You can also prevent index from being rebuilt that are over a certain threshold, either in pages or percentage (you may want to do manually large indexes manually).
You can set your own threshold for reorg versus rebuild (defaults to 5/30). There is also an option to change the recovery model to simple for the duration of the action.
The only time this may fail is if your server is case sensitive, I did not build in the checks to allow for that.
If you want to rebuild all indexes with a new fillfactor, just set the @ReOrgThreshold to 1.01 and @ReBuildThreshold to 1.02...or do it manually.
Not much else to add, the SP has a good bit of documentation.

Help with priority queues in simulations. H/W

I am stuck. Help. It's late, I'm tired. My mind refuses to think.
One thing: Doesn't increment globalTime;
Two thing: Heap misbehaves.
Three thing: Wrong output.
The purpose of this programming project is to learn to use priority queues (a.k.a. heaps).
One common use of priority queues is in simulation. A software simulator attempts to mimic
some real-life problem based on a set of parameters and assumptions. You are to build a
simple simulator to demonstrate a how a computer's job scheduling algorithm works. Your
simulator will use two priority queues to accomplish that, one that prioritizes events by
time, and one that prioritizes jobs based on their specified priorities.
Your simulator will read a text file containing job information, such as the job's submission
time, execution time, and priority. Your simulator will write a text file of information about
each job's execution, including its start time and end time.
For this project, time will be represented by integers, starting at time 0 and ending when
the last job finishes execution.
Your input file will be a text file named "Jobs.txt" that will contain information about the
sequence of jobs whose execution you will simulate. Each line of the input file will
represent one job. The information about each job will consist of its job ID (a character
without spaces), its arrival time (an integer greater than or equal to zero), its priority
(an integer between zero and 255 where a larger number indicates higher priority), and its
run time (an integer greater than zero). For example, the following is a possible input file:
Sample Jobs.txt Input File
JobID Arrival Time Priority Run Time
Job1 0 5 12
Job2 0 10 10
Job3 8 15 6
Job4 9 0 25
Job5 15 99 9
I suggest creating a Job class that to contain the information about each job. The class will
need to implement the Comparable interface, which means it will need to have a method
named compareTo() that will compare two jobs by priority.
Your output will be a text file named "Schedule.txt" that will describe how the jobs got
scheduled and run according to time and priority. Each line of the output file will contain
information about one job, and the file will be ordered in the jobs' run sequence. The
information to be output for each job will be its job ID, its start time, its end time, its
arrival time, its priority, and its run time. The following table shows what the output for
the above input would be:
Sample Schedule.txt Output File
JobID Start Time End Time Arrival Time Priority Run Time
Job2 0 10 0 10 10
Job3 10 16 8 15 6
Job5 16 25 15 99 9
Job1 25 37 0 5 12
Job4 37 62 9 0 25
A ZIP file containing your project.
For this project use the class MyPriorityQueue from Chapter 25 for your priority queue
objects. You will need two priority queues.
The first will contain scheduler events. It will be prioritized by event time, with an earlier
time being a higher priority. An event may be either a job arrival or a job completion.
I suggest creating a JobEvent class to represent events. The class should contain an event
type, an event time, and a Job object. This class will need to implement the Comparable
interface, including a compareTo() method that will compare two events and prioritize them
by time, with earlier times having higher priority.
You second priority queue will contain all the jobs that have arrived and are waiting to run.
It will be prioritized by job priority.
Your program will need to read the input file, build a Job object for each job, then an
arrival JobEvent for the Job, and put the arrival into the first priority queue.
Next, your program will need to process each event in the first priority queue. If the highes-
priority event is a job arrival, the job will need to be extracted from the JobEvent and
added to your second priority queue.
If the highest-priority event is a job completion, its information will be written to the outut
file. Then the next job will need to be extracted from the second priority queue, and a job
completion JobEvent constructed for its completion time, and that JobEvent added to the
first priority queue.
Processing will continue as long as there are JobEvents in the first priority queue.

"heap misbehaves" and "wrong output" doesn't really tell a reader ANYTHING about what the problem is. The best way to get help is to ask specific, focused questions, giving as much information as possible. HOW does the heap misbehave? What does it do that you don't expect? For that matter, what DO you expect it to do?
A general tip is to not write so much code before trying to fix it. You should only write 2-3 (or even one single) lines of code before you compile,
, and debug it. Make sure each new piece you write is ROCK SOLID before you try doing anything else.
If we were going to focus on globalTime, I'd put in some println statements around lines 39 and 54. Make sure you are entering the if-blocks, check and see what job.getRunTime() returns (if it's zero, then that's why globalTime isn't changing).
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

Line 34: Never, never use == false or == true. It should read
if (!event.getCompleted()) . . .
And the name of the method is poor; it would be better as "hasCompletd" or "isCompleted".

A few more tid-bits for you:
1) On time tracking with globalTime. When you first create the JobEvents, you do this:
int globalTime = 0; //... while(in.hasNext()) { //... JobEvent jobEvent = new JobEvent(completed, globalTime, job); EventHeap.enqueue(jobEvent); }
So every one of your JobEvents you make when the file gets read are created with a time of zero. I think the intention is to have the 'arrival' event's time be the Job's arrival time (while the 'completed' event's time would be the time the event had finished).
2) On the 'arrival' versus 'completed' JobEvents: when you create a JobEvent you do this:
static class JobEvent implements Comparable { boolean completed = false; //... public JobEvent(boolean completed, int time, Job job) { this.completed = true; //... }
Since you hard-code completed to be true every JobeEvent is going to be treated as a completed JobEvent, regardless of what you use as a parameter when you create the JobEvent. This means the code you expect to execute for 'arrival' events will never happen, no Jobs will be added to the JobHeap, and the code you expect to happen when a Job is pulled out of the JobHeap will not be executed either (I don't think).

As the overall graduation rates for the state reached a record high, the numbers for Montgomery's traditional high schools mostly went down.
Three of Montgomery's four non-magnet high schools - Sidney Lanier, G.W. Carver and Robert E. Lee - saw declines for the second consecutive year, driving the district's overall rate down to 64 percent. That's the lowest rate among county systems in the state and well below the 80 percent rate experienced statewide.
"It's disappointing," Montgomery Public Schools superintendent Margaret Allen said. "They are not anywhere like what we would want ...

'house shimouma' by kazuya saito architects in tokyo, japan
all images courtesy of kazuya saito architects
photographer: sadao hotta
japanese office kazuya saito architects has just completed their first project in setagaya-ku,
tokyo, japan. 'house shimouma' is a three-storey residential building on a narrow 4m x 11m lot.
construction took only three months to meet the project's tight budget and schedule.
a number of different, competing urban elements on site called for a careful negotiation
of space during the design process. instead of building flush against the neighboring building
to make up for the tight lot, the design left enough room in between for natural light to enter
through the eastern facade. the narrower faces to the north and the south are cut in strategic
but subtle angles to maximize on space. a matte, dark brown finish on the exterior walls softens
the look of the corners.
in order to make up for the long and narrow interior space, circulation is encouraged to move
vertically throughout the building: the second level accommodates the kitchen, living,
and dining area while private programs such as washrooms and bedrooms take up
the first and third levels.

This is typical japanese style….
yeah right, i agree with that it's quite typical japanese one, too. very space-efficient. rather subtle than flashy. i think that kind of style is quite common among japanese dwelling houses built by architectures.
Delightful, compact residence. I was wondering though, can they not get onto the roof space as well. There appears to be a railing in a couple of the photos and the houses next to it do have. Whoops I see in the line drawings indeed a "Terrace" d;-)
come on people… this example of contemporary japanese architecture is just boring! and neither well presented nor photographed.

|Clinical implication of autoantibodies in patients with systemic rheumatic diseases.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20477023 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Autoantibodies have been used extensively as a useful biomarker in systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Antinuclear antibodies by immunofluorescence are a standard clinical test to screen for evidence of systemic autoimmunity. Different specific autoantibodies are associated with particular diagnoses, symptoms, unique syndromes, subsets of the disease and clinical activity. They are produced prior to the onset of clinical manifestations and have predictive value. This review focuses on a critical re-evaluation of the clinical significance of autoantibodies. Disease subsets defined by autoantibodies, coexistence of disease marker antibodies, and problems in testing and interpreting results are examined. Clinical approaches in differential diagnosis of antinuclear antibodies and the significance of antinuclear antibodies in healthy individuals are also discussed.

Welcome to Sunshine Knit Designs! I hope you enjoy looking at the socks and other knitted items. The free patterns are yours to enjoy.
Sunshine Knit Designs has the warm weather knitter in mind. You won't see many warm and cozy sweaters here. Instead, you will find patterns for short, hand knit cotton socks and short-sleeved and sleeveless tops. Many of the short socks can also be knitted in a longer version suitable for cooler weather, and some of the tops have sleeve-length options.
I like to have fun with my knitting. When I learn something new, I'll usually do a few variations on that theme.

Priority Areas
NYSHealth concentrates most of our activities and grantmaking in three strategic priority areas. In each area, we have developed a set of specific goals and focused strategies to advance our efforts. To have an impact in these areas, we make grants, convene key stakeholders, and commission and disseminate policy analyses that inform health care policy and practice throughout New York State.
Expanding Health Care Coverage
Many New Yorkers are projected to become newly insured once Federal health reform provisions are fully phased in. To advance the implementation of health reform, NYSHealth is supporting a range of efforts to reach and educate consumers about their insurance options and how to enroll in and use their coverage.
Building Healthy Communities
To help communities become healthier, more active places, the Foundation is supporting initiatives across the State to help more New Yorkers of all ages eat healthy foods, become physically active, and have access to a range of programs that encourage healthy life choices.
Advancing Primary Care
Given the growing demand for primary care, the need to control health care costs, and the opportunities to develop new models of care as New York implements health reform, the Foundation has identified advancing primary care as a priority area.

iPhone 3.0 Mail security issue surfaces
updated 02:35 pm EDT, Mon August 17, 2009
iPhone 3.0 mail security
A potential security issue in the iPhone 3.0 firmware has surfaced via a YouTube video. The bug allows users to view previously-deleted e-mails, by searching for the title of a deleted message. The results screen displays two copies of the message; when either is selected for the first time, Mail crashes. When the messages are selected a second time however, an iPhone will either display the original text, or a warning saying "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted."
The copied message also warns that it is "only partially downloaded," and presents a malfunctioning button to download the remaining part of the e-mail. The bug further displays opened messages in either the Deleted Messages folder or the Inbox as "1 of 0."
The poster of the YouTube video says he suspected the device was reaching back to an e-mail server, but was able to disprove this by emptying his POP account. The bug is believed to be long-standing, as a result of finding e-mails deleted months ago.

Red Wings right wing Johan Franzen (93) and Senators defenseman Marc Methot (4) in the first period on Thursday in Ottawa. / Marc DesRosiers-USA TODAY Sports
Jamie Samuelsen, co-host of the Jamie and Wojo show at 6 p.m. weekdays on WXYT-FM (97.1), blogs for freep.com. His opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the Detroit Free Press nor its writers. You can reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow him on Twitter @jamiesamuelsen and read more of his opinions at freep.com/jamie.
The Johan Franzen-Chris Neil fracas boiled down to Franzen saying that fighting is not a part of his game. Do you need fighters on your NHL team these days?
Have you ever gotten into an argument about health care? Or has gun control ever come up as a topic of debate at a cocktail party? How about affirmative action?
Of course you have. We all have. These are hot button political issues on which almost every citizen has an opinion. Its for this reason that I hate when they come up because you 100% know there will be no middle ground. Youre not going to convince anyone to change their opinion on gun control in a 10-minute discussion over beers. Its just not happening.
Fighting carries that same level of toxicity with hockey fans. Some fans will come to blows (their sweaters tied down of course) arguing about the importance of fighting. The players have to police themselves. The fighting helps curb the cheap, nasty stick work that can lead to injuries. The heavyweights can protect the stars on each roster. Its as much a part of the history of the sport as the Stanley Cup.
But in 2014, that argument is becoming harder to defend. The increased awareness of concussions and head injuries is causing many in hockey to take a closer look at fighting. Even Red Wing legend Steve Yzerman has changed his views.
We penalize and suspend players for making contact with the head while checking, in an effort to reduce head injuries, yet we still allow fighting, Yzerman told TSNs Darren Dreger back in October. Were stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport do we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences, or take the next step and eliminate fighting.
Yzerman makes a lot of sense. You have to look away from piles of medical evidence to ignore the fact that you cant simultaneously cut down on concussions and promote the most violent aspect of a rough sport.
But as long as we have fighting in the game (For the record, I love it. I know its rough, but some of the greatest games Ive ever seen involved 5-minute majors), we have to understand some basic rules for enforcement. And one of those rules is rather obvious if a guy doesnt want to fight, he shouldnt have to.
Last Thursday, Ottawas Chris Neil tore off John Franzens helmet and punched him in the head trying to ignite a fight. Franzen stood his ground, but didnt fight back. You can excuse him for passing. Concussions have told the story of Franzens season. He missed 22 of the 25 previous games and, after missing out on the Olympics with Sweden, was looking to start the final stretch of games on a healthy note. He dominated Ottawa to the tune of a hat trick in a 6-1 game and this was a case of a hockey tough guy/bully (Neil) going after the best offensive player on that particular night.
Neil, of course, tells the story differently. He says that Franzen had some illicit stick work earlier in the play that poked Neil in a rather inopportune spot. There are also claims of a Franzen cross check earlier in the game. So when Neil went to pick a fight, he claims he was simply policing the game, protecting himself and going after the true aggressor, who in his mind was Franzen. Youll pardon me if I chuckle at this assertion. If Neil plans to avenge every poke, check, hit, whack, slash and elbow that takes place on the ice each night, he better plan on spending the better part of 60 minutes in the penalty box each night. Some want to take fighting out of the game. Nobody is stupid enough to contend that they also need to take all contact out of the game. Franzen likes to take his shots, as all players do. I just wasnt aware that the cost of a stick to the legs is a fight against Neil, third in the league in penalty minutes (132). Physically, it may not be a mismatch. Franzen is a pretty big guy. But in terms of fighting, well lets just say that Neil is LeBron James and Franzen is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
This notion that a player who waves his stick around is somehow required to drop his gloves is preposterous. Certain players have certain roles. Neil fights. Franzen scores. And the fact that he did it three times in the win over the Sens is further proof why he shouldnt be fighting. The Red Wings need all the goals they can get, especially with Henrik Zetterberg out for the foreseeable future. The thought of Franzen fighting Neil, suffering another concussion and heading back on the shelf is harrowing. He had nothing to gain from fighting, so he passed which is his right to do.
Some Red Wings fans fear that teams will take more liberties with the team because players dont fight back. I disagree. The Red Wings philosophy has always been to turn the other cheek (some notable Bruise Brothers excepted) and make the opponent pay on the power play. And come playoff time, most of this stuff goes away anyway.
I dont think fighting will ever leave the game entirely. And I dont think that it should. As long as its around, every player has the right to fight or to pass and that was firmly Franzens right on Thursday night.

Welsh missionaries and British imperialismThe Empire of Clouds in north-east India
Andrew J. May
Series: Studies in Imperialism
Subject Area: History
BIC Category: Colonialism & imperialism
Published: November 2012
234 x 156 mm
336 pages
Publisher: Manchester University Press
In 1841, the Welsh sent their first missionary, Thomas Jones, to evangelise the tribal peoples of the Khasi Hills of north-east India. This book follows Jones from rural Wales to Cherrapunji, the wettest place on earth and now one of the most Christianised parts of India. As colonised colonisers, the Welsh were to have a profound impact on the culture and beliefs of the Khasis. The book also foregrounds broader political, scientific, racial and military ideologies that mobilised the Khasi Hills into an interconnected network of imperial control. Its themes are universal: crises of authority, the loneliness of geographical isolation, sexual scandal, greed and exploitation, personal and institutional dogma, individual and group morality. Written by a direct descendant of Thomas Jones, it makes a significant contribution in orienting the scholarship of imperialism to a much-neglected corner of India, and will appeal to students of the British imperial experience more broadly.

tipThere are several stories in this week's newspaper dealing with crime.
A Social Security scam, burglaries and a crackdown on curfew in the City of Houston grabbed the headlines.
Houston is not in the midst of a crime wave. Okolona, Houlka and even little ole Woodland have their share of crime, too.
We hope each of those communities realizes it is not just the job of the police chief and patrolmen to stop crime.
Law enforcement across Chickasaw County needs your eyes and ears to stop crime.
Too often citizens rant and rave that calling police or the sheriff's department about a crime doesn't do any good. We agree there may not be an immediate arrest and the caller may not see someone charged with that particular crime, but not calling guarantees nothing will be done.
We are a nation of laws and law enforcement uses those laws and bits and pieces of information and evidence to build a case and make an arrest. This newspaper urges every lawman in this county to always take their time and make sure the right person is arrested, charged and – if justice demands it – convicted and sentenced.
But their work usually starts with a phone call by a citizen to someone in law enforcement.
Suspicious vehicles with burglars inside can be stopped by police, if someone calls and says they have been spotted on your street.
Drug dealers can be swept from our community and kept away from our children, if parents will call authorities and report suspected drug activity in their neighborhood. We would like to point out nothing gets authorities moving quicker than a parent calling and saying they know who is selling their kid drugs.
And last but not least, crooks realize quickly when a community is alert and willing to call the cops that it is time to move on and seek easier pickings.
Again it all starts with a phone call.
You are the eyes and ears for local law enforcement in your neighborhood, your city and your community.
So pick up the phone. Call in a tip. Police and sheriff's deputies need all the help they can get.
