State troopers say Chester Heath of Kinston passed away on Christmas from injuries in the December 18th crash.
The accident happened around 4:45 p.m. on Highway 11 and 903, just north of Kenansville. Heath's 81 year old wife, Mary, was also injured and was released from the hospital on Monday.
The Highway Patrol says the 83 year old man was heading north, and was making a left turn onto Highway 903 when he pulled into the path of an oncoming pickup truck.

You're in for a treat tonight. Below, I've collected a series of vintage Wendy's training videos, all apparently from the 80's. While the first (a rap entitled "Hot Drinks" which explains Wendy's policy on preparing and serving coffee, tea, and hot chocolate) has gone viral, some of the others are still lingering in obscurity.
I'm really curious: if any of our readers worked at Wendy's in the 80's or 90's, did they show you these videos? If so, did they seem crazy to you then?

In this 80-second video, you'll see stagehands hastily assembling a set for Saturday Night Live. Early on, they get a 35-second warning and someone says over an intercom, "We're screwed."

I'm a big fan of AMC's Mad Men. I've been watching it faithfully since its debut. But one thing has been bugging me since the third season -- the "next on" segments at the end of each episode reveal virtually nothing about the plot of the next episode. They're a kind of dada art in which the producers of the show show clips of unrelated dialogue; even if you know exactly what's going on with the show, they don't show enough actual interaction to figure out what the next episode is about.

In this video, filmmaker Ann Prum describes how she and her team made a Nature documentary about hummingbirds using high-speed HD cameras and specialized lenses.

All persons possess intrinsic value simply from the mere fact that they exist as beings having a divine origin. All humans possess moral inviolability such that they ought never be exploited or treated simply as means to ulterior ends or goals. The dignity of human beings means that women and men have inalienable rights that must be respected and sustained. The test of every institution or policy is whether it enhances or threatens human life and human dignity.
In the Catholic tradition, faith is not just about a personal relationship with God. Faith makes demands on us and requires that we work to alleviate dehumanizing conditions of suffering. We have to think critically about our own complicity in structures of injustice. Catholic social teaching can give us some of the resources to better understand our obligations as Christians when we are challenged by the reality of the enormity of suffering in our world today.

Tales of greedy public employees aren't new, and despite the furor over public employee unions and pensions and benefits, the audacity of those who feed at the public till never ceases to amaze us poor schmoes in the private sector.
It's not envy as much as it is outrage. Not only have public employee salaries, pensions and benefits risen high above our own puny reach, but we're the ones footing the bill.
So each time we hear of another public employee spiking his pension, double-dipping or cashing in accrued vacation or sick time, the green hue that comes over our faces isn't due to jealousy but, rather, equal parts disgust and frustration.
They're picking our pockets, you see, and there's nothing we can do about it — because it's all perfectly legal, under the law.
That's why the laws need to change.
The latest egregious example of a public employee fleecing the people who pay him: David Stahovich, chief of staff to former Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster, who was voted out of office in November.
Stahovich resigned Jan. 7, the day before Buster's successor, new 1st District Supervisor Kevin Jeffries, was sworn in. He cashed in $201,000 in unused vacation time — a total of 3,440 hours — and less than three weeks later took another taxpayer-funded job, as administrative services officer in the Transportation Department.
Now, we don't hold it against Stahovich. If any of us had the same opportunity to accrue, and get paid for, so much vacation time, we'd do it in a heartbeat. (We might say we wouldn't, but come on — who are we kdding?)
The point is, most private-sector businesses don't let you accrue so much vacation time. Here in California, the old "use it or lose it" policy is illegal, but employers still are able to set a cap on how much vacation you can accumulate.
Government employees, though, play by their own rules. As a legislative aide for a supervisor, Stahovich was not subject to a cap on accrued unused leave. And as long as the powerful public employee unions keep sending their Democratic buddies back into office, that's simply not going to change — regardless of how unfair, and costly, it is to the rest of us.
We may take solace in one thing: In his new position, Stahovich is subject to a cap on accrued vacation time.
It's a measly 1,800 hours.

On April 19, the victim, Gabriel González Lazcano, arrived on a private flight from Sonora for an Easter Week vacation. He was accompanied by his family and friends. He is reported to be a farmer. His father is a retired school teacher. Friday night, the victim and his friends were going around the town and stopping at discotheques, finally arriving at their hotel lobby in the early morning of Saturday.
Three rental cars pulled up to the hotel and various men and women got out. One of the men, without saying a word, fired point blank into the victim several times. The shooter then ran towards the lobby door, where a security guard attempted to detain him. The shooter pointed his gun at the security guard, who then let him pass. The shooter was accompanied by his girlfriend, who left her purse at the scene.
I surmise that the police will be able to trace the shooter through the evidence in the girl's purse.

Record-setting relay
By: Nick Pecoraro/Telegraph Correspondent
Folsom women help U.S. team win gold
Amanda Scotti and Liz Palmer entered the 2011 World Masters Track and Field Championships with high hopes of earning medals for the United States. After learning that they had both qualified for the women's 4x100-meter relay team, the two were ecstatic at a chance to bring home some hardware. Scotti and Palmer, along with Kathleen Shook and Joy Upshaw, represented the U. S. in the women's 50-54-year-old 4x100-meter relay and brought home the gold medal in an American record time of 51.88 seconds, shattering the previous record of 53.39. "We were pretty pumped," Palmer said about earning the gold and setting the record. "We were very close to the world record of 51.50." Scotti added, "It was so exciting; I was jumping up and down. I was pleased that I got to handoff to Liz." Scotti and Palmer have run on relay teams before and in each one, Scotti passed the baton to Palmer. That combination got the U.S. team off to a good start and from there Shook and Upshall finished the final two legs of the relay. On July 9, Palmer came within a quarter of second of claiming the gold medal in the 100 behind her teammate Upshaw with a 13.09 showing. Although Palmer wasn't at 100 percent with slight Achilles tendonitis, she was able to walk away with the silver medal. "I was really excited to get the silver," she said. "Even though I wasn't at my best, it was still a good run for me." Palmer also earned the silver medal in the 80-meter hurdles, finishing in 12.46 seconds. Scotti did not fair as well as she had planned on in her two events leading up to Sunday's relay race. On July 8, she qualified for the 100-meter semifinals the following day before exiting with a 14.17 placement. Knee problems forced Scotti to make a difficult decision on what she would do about the 200-meter dash, which she was penciled in to run on July 12. "I wasn't terribly happy with my 100 time. I've run a lot faster," said Scotti, who had originally made it a goal to have good enough 100 times to earn a spot on the relay team. "It was a very hard decision to drop out of the 200 because I love that event but I did what I had to do to get on the relay team. During the Masters, you're always holding your breath against your injuries." In the midst of all the competition, both women are enjoying everything that comes along with the Masters events. "It's been amazing," said Scotti, who is also the sprinters' coach at Vista del Lago High. "I've met so many great people from all different countries. The competition is staggering and it really is world class. "It's been really fun meeting people from all over the world," said Palmer, who coaches the hurdlers at Folsom High. "I've had a great time and hopefully my Achilles won't be too much of a wild card and we can take that gold medal in the relays."

Sport Fish Restoration Program
You probably don't have to be told what fishing means to you. You know how much you value time spent in the great outdoors, time with family and friends on the water, the thrill of battling a trophy.
But, you may not realize how much you mean to fishing. You see, your dollars go directly to help make fishing and boating better in the United States. Without the support of anglers and boaters, there would be a lot less opportunity to enjoy these activities.
It's as simple as filling your boat with gas, buying your child a new rod, or stocking up on lures before your next trip. YOU support the Sport Fish Restoration Program managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The tax you pay on recreational fishing equipment and boat fuel helps create future fishing and boat opportunities.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs distribute the money to state fish and wildlife agencies to improve fishing and boating in your state.
Simply by purchasing fishing and hunting equipment, you are contributing to a partnership that has created one of the most successful conservation programs in the world. Consider this: These funds have made possible the purchase of more than 260,000 acres for fishing and boating and have helped build or reconstruct more than 1,200 fishing and boating access sites.
Anglers have a proud legacy of conserving the natural resources in the United States. The Sport Fish Restoration Program is an important component of that legacy.

Our Opinion: Majority rules: A basic tenet
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Majority rules.
The concept is an underpinning of democratic society.
We generally support the concept, although we also acknowledge reasonable exceptions.
An exception in the form of a constitutional amendment has been proposed by Rep. Scott Sifton, D-Affton. His amendment would require a two-thirds legislative majority to change a voter-approved law within two years of adoption. It would require a four-sevenths majority during the next two years.
The likely launch pad for his idea is legislative debate to repeal or alter provisions of Proposition B, approved in November with 51.6 percent of the statewide vote.
The law tightening restrictions on dog breeders is on its way to contending for the title of receiving the most legislative attention after enactment.
The battle ground for the voter-approved law has moved to the Legislature because lawmakers are empowered to repeal or alter it. In contrast, amending the constitution requires a statewide vote.
Since Proposition B's approval, opponents have continued to press their arguments that the law: is unnecessary; unduly restricts the dog-breeding industry; and marks an initial step toward limiting livestock agriculture.
After the vote, opponents added to their arguments, contending: voters didn't understand the ramifications of Proposition B; and voters in many rural counties rejected the proposition, despite its statewide victory.
Proponents have countered that their votes were informed and have rallied behind the basic tenet that majority rules.
We believe that tenet has served us well.
Consequently, we are not in favor of Sifton's proposed amendment, even though we acknowledge the concept of majority rules — in the form of Proposition B — is under attack in the Legislature.
We encouraged voters to reject Proposition B in November. Subsequently, however, we encouraged lawmakers to respect the majority decision.
No law is perfect. Many require tweaking over time.
But a majority of Missourians has spoken. The law voters enacted deserves a reasonable test of time before they are silenced or shouted down.

I think the goals wording at the beginning of the document is a bit selfish sounding. I think the same idea might be able to be conveyed better. Perhaps something about keeping the project lean so that it can react without being hindered by processes. Brantgurga 03:13, 3 November 2010 (CET)
I think the Gentoo/Funtoo comparison table should be removed or significantly modified since it will easily get out of date. Brantgurga 05:43, 16 November 2010 (CET)

ATLANTIC BEACH, CARTERET COUNTY-- Monday, the state house of representatives is expected to decide whether or not to formally approve a saltwater recreational fishing license bill to be signed into law.
Last week, they voted 54 to 50 to give the bill tentative approval.
If and when this becomes a law, everyone who fishes along the coast must first purchase a license that's good for a full year.
Money generated by the license fee is slated to be spent on fisheries, habitats and enhancements.
If it passes the house, the bill will then go to Governor Mike Easley to be signed into law.

"We chose this design because of the simplicity. It wasn't too frilly or busy. Just simple. It turned out great. We went with the signature Matte after reading other reviews... it was perfect. I liked how heavy the paper was, and our image, which was very bright colorful turned out looking great. I had friends comment on how great the card turned out. I was a little disappointed in the printing, there was a very faint stripe that went down the center of each of my cards, as if the printer was running out of ink. However, it was very slight, and I probably only noticed it because I was looking for any problems. I'm not sure anyone else would look close enough to notice it."
"I chose this birth announcement for its classic qualities. It complimented our newborns picture and the text size, color and font were perfect accents. Easy to make and love being able to see the finished product. Paper was heavy and sturdy. We have received several compliments on this announcement."
"These announcements are phenomenal and far exceeded my expectations. The paper quality was outstanding and my photo looked better than I could have even imagined. My son's shirt in the picture had green stripes, so the design team matched the pattern on the back to his shirt at no cost. The designer called me and communicated with me verbally about the customization and send me a digital proof for my approval. It was exactly what I was hoping for! The icing on the cake was that the announcements were delivered ahead of schedule--even with the custom design work. I have received several phone calls from recipients telling me how wonderfully they turned out. TinyPrints has earned a customer for life."
"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"
"My husband and I waited until our daughter was about 3 months old before taking professional photos and sending an announcement. After reviewing multiple options, we decided that this design was perfect to showcase her look. We styled her in a "little black dress" complete with pearls and photographed her against a pink blanket. I loved that the gray background of this card complimented her outfit and the pink made her first and middle name pop. We have received so many compliments on this announcement. And I look forward to saving it in her memory book."

Helias falls to Fayetteville
Saturday, December 31, 2011
The Helias Crusaders knew they'd have to play a near-perfect 32 minutes to beat the Fayetteville (Ark.) Bulldogs on Friday night.
They got the "near" part right, but 29 minutes just wasn't good enough.
The Bulldogs used a strong finishing kick in the final three minutes to rally for a 44-38 win in the third-place game of the Mike Kehoe Great 8 Classic.

AmericInn Lodge & Suites of Ankeny
Traveler Comments
The pool and hot tub were great, temp and cleanliness just right. Easy checkin and out. Friendly staff. Convenient location.
was upset that the hot tub in the room didn't work properly. When people in the room above us turned the water on for their hot tub it was very loud in our room and woke us up in the middle of the night, was louder than if we were running the water in our own room.
It was alright - your average hotel. Nothing exceptional but nothing terrible either. i guess the free breakfast was nice.
Clean comfortable and quiet hotel. Room quality is better than expected for the price.

Being Tony Plush
Finding redemption through Nyjer Morgan's gentleman alter ego.
The Milwaukee Brewers' trade for Nyjer Morgan this March was the kind of move that moves no one. Morgan had been a decent player in Pittsburgh and Washington, but he was mostly known for his bizarre and petulant on-field behavior— throwing a ball at a fan, instigating a brawl, and other assorted jackassery. What didn't make the wire was that this deal was a two-for-one. Along with Nyjer Morgan, the Brewers were acquiring the outfielder's alter ego, Tony Plush. According to a story in the Washington Post, this was Morgan's "gentleman's name." I didn't know what this meant exactly, and I couldn't decide whether this guy was a free spirit or just insane. Could anyone possibly be that much of a dick?
In the succeeding weeks, I spent hours searching for Plush intel. I was consumed by baseball thoughts in a way I hadn't been since I was 10, a time when mastering Ben Oglivie's batting stance qualified as an afternoon well spent. After finding mostly dead ends, I decided to explore my preoccupation in the only place that made sense. On the day of the Brewers' home opener, I pulled a headshot off Google Images and wrote a bio for @Tony_Plush: "The gentleman alter ego of the Milwaukee Brewers' Nyjer Morgan." I didn't open this Twitter account to jock-sniff or to fool anyone into thinking I was Morgan. It was merely a new way to waste time.
As Plush, I tweeted at my friends. I commented on the game. I boasted and bragged: The Braves are scared to hit it at me. Plush is both a gentleman and a vacuum. In the sixth inning, I checked the feed. I had retweets and messages from writers in the press box. I puffed my feathers and cock-strutted around the room. I became bolder, tweeting back and correcting the usage of Morgan's name: I prefer "Tony Plush." Thank you for your support.
That night, my pulse thumped. I started thinking about how to take a bicycle pump to Tony Plush's withered husk. I'd intended the account to be a one-game thing, but it couldn't end now, not with this momentum. Plush needed rules. He would speak only in third-person, and never use contractions. He would be a literate and worldly dandy. His syntactic quirks would lean towards the ornate. And he'd love baseball so much it would make his knees weak. He'd be Henry James toting a Louisville Slugger. I also tagged one tweet with the word #Plushdamentals. This would soon become Plush's magical incantation: a mantra soaked in linseed oil, carefully tucked under the mattress each night, and pulled out the next day.
In the following days, Tony Plush tweeted in-game one-liners about running fast and hitting stand-up triples. Morgan wasn't playing all that much, so Plush also wrote about being a stranger in a strange land—how he used his off-days to locate a snooker club, iron his pocket squares, and figure out ways to get Brewers manager Ron Roenicke to pencil him into the lineup.
Buzz around the account grew, as did the fans' ardor for Morgan himself. Wisconsinites adore athletes with blue in their collar. Get dirty, barrel-roll a few catchers, and you will be loved. After a week, Tony Plush had more than 1,000 followers. ESPN.com's Jayson Stark started including Plush's tweets in his column. A graphic artist from Milwaukee contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in selling Plushdamentals T-shirts.
As Tony Plush became increasingly renowned, my own writing career foundered. I spent my days depressed about my book proposal, which was sitting on some desk in New York, buzzards wheeling, waiting for another red X. Having moved to Minnesota the previous fall after 38 years in Wisconsin, I had to deal with my disappointment alone. Each day's Brewers game offered a reprieve, a chance to write for an enthusiastic audience that I feared would never care about the words I put under my own name.
Inevitably, I poured more and more of my energy into Tony Plush. Soon, he'd stretched beyond 140-character bursts about bunts and stolen bases into narratives featuring "Coach Roenicke," "G.M. Melvin," and "Owner Attanasio." I knew little about any of them, save for that Ron Roenicke was a rookie manager, oft besweatered general manager Doug Melvin was from Canada and had a glorious mustache, and Mark Attanasio was rich enough to throw away $20 bills once they got wrinkled. Plush's exchanges with them were wistful and arcane. I tried to imagine what life might be like if Plush actually existed. And as time went on, he almost did.
Tony Plush and G.M. Melvin were boarding the plane to go to Pittsburgh. G.M. Melvin said, "Tony, I'm glad you don't play for Pitt anymore."
G.M. Melvin smoothed his sweater and went on: "I wish I'd traded for you years ago. You're great; you're even better than poutine."
"No hard feelings, G.M. Melvin," Plush said. "You did the best you could under the circumstances. But I'm here now."
G.M. Melvin stood on the tarmac, staring off, distant. Clouds scudded above. Plush thought he saw G.M. Melvin's eyes welling with tears.
Plush knew he had to break the silence. "Someday, Plush will grow a mustache just like yours. It's the most rakish in all of baseball."
G.M. Melvin set his hand on Plush's shoulder. "Thank you," he said. "Thank you." Then, in a flash of argyle, G.M. Melvin was gone.
As I used Plush's ever-growing follower count to validate my own self-worth, I started talking about things that interested me. Whatever I was reading, watching, or listening to—Geddy Lee, Cormac McCarthy, De Occulta Philosophia—got filtered through Plush's bullhorn. I took Plush, Coach Roenicke, and G.M. Melvin on a 33-tweet, all-day trip to the Wisconsin Dells—the place I'd spent four months researching the book no one wanted to buy. Plush's fans loved it and his follower count swelled. At the same time, @Jason_Albert was stalled out at under 200 followers.
Buried deep in the closet at my mother's house, there's a photo from my first Brewers game. The brim on my cap is falling over my eyes. My knees are too big for my legs, spindles that don't appear sturdy enough to hold my 70-pound frame. A glove is tucked under my arm. My grandpa is standing next to me with his ever-present can of Miller High Life clamped in his fist. The edges of the picture can't hold my stupid-happy grin.
As Plush, I felt like this Jason. "Plushdamentals" had even become part of the Brewers' lexicon. It was a catch-all term used for wins and great plays and anything Morgan did on the field. Fans latched onto it. To have some effect—any effect—on Brewers culture was as exciting as the memories of that first game, or the three paltry trips the Brewers have made to the postseason.
Then, on May 17, Nyjer Morgan joined Twitter as @TheRealTPlush.
Watz good Plush Nation,we will take da private off so I can finally get to tha world of Plusha Maniacs!!!!Stay tuned....
Almost immediately, the angry tweets began to roll in. Some followers—those who weren't in on the joke—were upset at being "tricked." They had no use for my Plush anymore. Now they could interact with Nyjer Morgan, the real Tony Plush. With sagging shoulders, I retweeted his welcome message. I was finished.

Here's a method of bringing them back to life by zapping those shorted crystal dendrites away with too much current and/or voltage. We'll use a welder as a power source. You could also use a car battery, a DC powersupply, or almost anything with some voltage. Charged-up capacitors are popular for this because you can get a very fast pulse out of them and still limit the power. it's a lot safer that way. Speaking of which,
If you get killed by a poisonous explosion it means you did something wrong.
Electrocution is a real possibility also.
Ask your parents how to not electrocute yourself with a welder.
If your tool has a non-battery problem, here's how to fix that.
Watch the video and see how zapping is done.

Although frequently identified as America's quintessential national pastime, baseball contains an undeniable global component that has become commonplace in movies about the sport. Look no further than this year's sleeper hit "Sugar," a bittersweet story of Dominican players drafted for American teams, to explore baseball's international reach.
That said, American fan appreciation for baseball is decidedly unique. The culture of peanuts and crackerjacks does not smoothly export across borders. Directors Erik Kesten and Brett Rapkin engage this factor with "Holy Land Hardball," a documentary about the 2007 attempt to launch an Israel Baseball League. Massachusetts baker Larry Baras's previous achievement was a specially prepared bagel with pre-inserted cream cheese, an entrepreneurial endeavor that ran out of steam in 2004. Overcoming financial and personal duress, Baras assembled a team of like-minded Zionists to bring baseball to the Middle East. The resulting cinematic document of his saga makes for a light comedy of errors elevated by Baras and his colleagues' undying commitment to an apparently futile task, as Israelis have virtually no concept of the game and hardly any interest in learning about it.
The filmmakers follow Baras from concept to gradual execution: Initial board meetings give way to tryouts, players' individual stories expand the diverse cast of characters, and eventually the gang heads to the Middle East. Baras apparently has honest intentions, but everyone involved appears blinded by the gimmickry of it. Anticipating a gag in You Don't Mess with the Zohan, the players use hummus instead of champagne when horsing around off-field. A 70-year-old Holocaust survivor attends the tryouts with passionate intentions. The game comes across either as a joke or an amateur affair — two aspects that prevent the league from being taken seriously. Nevertheless, Baras does manage to snag former Red Sox manager Dan Duquette (an earnest non-Jew willing to try out Yiddish phraseology) and organize efforts to build an additional playing field for the league to accompany the two existing ones in the entire country.
His utopian vision quickly gives way a stream of practical issues. When the teams arrive in Israel, tsuris comes with them: It's hot. There's no ice. The dorms are messy, insect-infested holes and the jerseys show up marked to be resold. "It is what it is," sighs one organizer, but such ambivalence ignores the specifics of what it's not — and, more importantly, why it fails the generate much interest. There's hardly any reference to the country's divisive cultural climate, but it's not surprising that nobody raises the possibility of a Palestinian team. Unlike American baseball, Baras's league implies a certain ideological tendency that runs counter to the inclusive nature of the sport.
Nevertheless, that's not a concern of this movie. All things considered, Kesten and Rapkin respect their subjects to the point where "Holy Land Hardball" functions as a warm portrait of people guided by spiritual unity and athletic ambition. The shtick engages on this basic level and develops its linear story with an amusing group of personalities. That no major drama ever emerges onscreen testifies to the blithe simplicity that they bring to the task. Such willful ignorance makes for an infectious feel-good experience, but it's hard to ignore the underlying futility. A closing title card informs us that the league failed to meet in 2008 and 2009 due to a lack of funding, but concludes by playfully asking,"Next Year in Jerusalem?" It sounds like this is one field of dreams that still needs a wake up call.
[Editor's Note: "Holy Land Hardball" is part of SnagFilms' SummerFest series.]

Canonical release is permission granted by a bishop to allow one of his clergy or parishes to be given into the authority of another bishop. Because every cleric and parish belongs to a specific bishop, this release must be given in order for allegiance to be changed. In some instances, if a bishop acts unjustly, a refusal to grant release may be overridden on appeal.

- Improving the Tor Hidden Service Protocol Aiming at Better Performances (2008)
- Offering services anonymously on the Internet using so-called location-hidden services requires complex protocols with many different nodes involved. These properties result in performance problems, e.g. a simple website request taking tens of seconds. This work describes a setup to measure the performance of hidden services using the worldwide Tor network. It analyzes the results and proposes changes to the protocol to improve the performance without losing anonymity.

- A Service Description Framework for Service Ecosystems (2008)
- Recently, service orientation has strongly influenced the way enterprise applications are built. Service ecosystems, which provide means to trade services between companies like goods, are an evaluation of service orientation. To allow service ordering, discovering, selection, and consumption, a common way to describe services is a necessity. This paper discusses existing approaches to describe certain service aspects. Finally, a Service Description Framework for service ecosystems is proposed and exemplified.

- Applying Business Process Management Systems - a Case Study (2008)
- Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) aim to support the Business Process Management paradigm and to ease legacy application integration. Often, they rely on Service-oriented Architecture (SoA). However, do such systems really meet real-world requirements? This paper introduces and discusses a set of criteria which are important for BPMS and applies these criteria in comparing tools from three important vendors, namely IDS Scheer, Oracle and Intalio based on a case study.

- Extended Abstracts of the Second Privacy Enhancing Technologies Convention (PET-CON 2008.1) (2008)
- PET-CON, the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Convention, is a forum for researchers, students, developers, and other interested people to discuss novel research, current developments and techniques in the area of Privacy Enhancing Technologies. PET-CON was first conceived in June 2007 at the 7th International PET Symposium in Ottawa, Canada. The idea was to set up a bi-annual convention in or nearby Germany to be able to meet more often than only once a year at some major conference.

Vaginal warts may cause cervical cancer. According to Cancer.gov, some types of sexually transmitted low-risk HPVs (Human papillomaviruses) cause warts to appear on or around the genitals or anus, but only high risk HPVs can lead to cancer.
Though only high risk HPVs can develop into cancer, it is still very important to get rid of your vaginal warts to avoid further infection that could lead to serious vaginal problems.
Signs and Symptoms
Vaginal warts are painless but there are times that they can interfere with your daily activities because some may cause skin itching. These warts usually occur in the moist areas of the vagina. In rare cases, women may experience vaginal discharge and bleeding after sexual intercourse.
The usual vaginal wart size may range from less than 1 mm to 1 cm. Most women often complain of painless bumps, itching, and bleeding.
Natural Remedies to Treat Vaginal Warts
There are lots of treatments for vaginal warts in the market but there are also natural remedies which are effective in wart removal.
The first natural remedy in removing genital warts is the use of tea tree oil. You just need to apply the oil using cotton and dab it directly onto your wart. Do this on a daily basis until it slowly shrinks and then disappears. This tea tree oil treatment could take you several weeks but you don't need to worry. Its natural healing elements plus the fact that it has no harsh ingredients guarantee a fully recovered and wart-free vagina.
Second natural remedy is the use of a plant's aloe gel. Same with the tea tree oil, an aloe gel's treatment process may take several weeks. Just apply the gel directly to the wart every day until the skin becomes more vital. Do this continuously until all the warts disappear.
Lastly, you can create a paste out of onion and salt and use it to get rid of your warts. The paste is proven to help your body fight and extinguish the virus that causes vaginal warts. The paste has elements that cause the body to produce anti-bodies which could fight the HPVs.
Before trying any of the natural remedies above, it's always best to ask advice from experts to make sure that you will be doing the right thing. Natural remedy techniques in removing vaginal warts may take some time but it's worth the wait and hassle.

Team of 10 Howard graduate students served more than 100 children and their families.
WASHINGTON (Aug. 1, 2013) – Howard University graduate students from the departments of Occupational Therapy and Communication Sciences and Disorders Speech-Language Pathology completed a service-learning fieldwork and clinical practicum in theDominican Republic from June 23 to July 7.
The team of 10 students served more than 100 children and their families and visited local hospitals and rehabilitation clinics. The students were accompanied by Felecia M. Banks, Ph.D., OT/L, chairperson of the Department of Occupational Therapy; Martine Elie, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, director of the Speech and Hearing Clinic at Howard; and Sertia Poindexter, M.S., OTR/L, an occupational therapy clinical instructor.
"This was a great opportunity for our students to engage in an inter-professional educational experience and contribute to an international community service-learning project as a part of a health-care team," Dr. Banks said. "The Dominican people have many health-care needs, and rehabilitation is an important aspect of their care."
Dr. Elie said the service-learning experience gave students an opportunity to both observe and provide collaborative speech language pathology and occupational therapy services.
Howard speech-language pathology students who traveled to the Dominican Republic were Quintina Briscoe, Brittani Hightower, Alicia Thompson, and Kierra Villines. The occupational therapy students were Kimberly Hagwood, Erika Haley, Brittany Muse, Shardae Portee , Lanita Sumpter and Sara Westmore.
Founded in 1867, Howard University is a private, research university that is comprised of 13 schools and colleges. Students pursue studies in more than 120 areas leading to undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. Since 1998, the University has produced two Rhodes Scholars, two Truman Scholars, a Marshall Scholar, 30 Fulbright Scholars and 11 Pickering Fellows. Howard also produces more on campus African-American Ph.D. recipients than any other university in the United States.

Hitachi vs. Western Digital vs. Seagate: A Battle of the Mammothsby Purav Sanghani on December 2, 2005 12:05 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
When Hitachi first introduced their 500GB hard disk drives, we thought that it would take forever for them to actually begin manufacturing the units, which was not the case. We gave Hitachi the credit for being the first manufacturer to put out the largest hard disk drive ever, but we couldn't really gauge its performance, since there were really no other drives to which to compare it.
Last month, Seagate officially announced their 7200.9 line of desktop hard disk drives and we had a chance to look at their largest unit in the line, the 500GB Barracuda. During our tech briefing with the 7200.9 product manager, we learned that the line was the end result of combining the two previous lines, the 7200.7 and the 7200.8. The joining of forces led to the 7200.9 name and included all of the capacities from the previous two.
Again, we could not really compare Seagate's 500GB unit with any of the other drives that we had benchmarked and so, we were determined to get our hands on the largest units on the market today. Hitachi and Seagate were held to have the largest capacities at 500GB and we threw in Western Digital's 400GB unit for kicks.
Here's how the drives weigh in…
|Platter Density
|# of Platters / Heads
|Spindle speed (RPM)
|Average Seek Time
|Average Latency
|Buffer Sizes
|Hitachi 7K500
|5 / 10
|PATA / SATA 3.0Gb/sec
|Seagate 7200.9 500GB
|4 / 8
|PATA / SATA 3.0Gb/sec
|Western Digital WD4000YR
|4 / 8
|PATA / SATA 1.5Gb/sec
The WD4000YR is only a 1.5 Gb/sec drive, but we're including it to compare performance between it and the newer 3.0 Gb/sec units. And since it is Western Digital's new high capacity model, we thought, why not take a peek at its performance as well and to see which drive gives us more bang for the buck.
The Test
Our test bed specs have been laid out below. We used Western Digital's 160GB 3.0 Gb/sec drive, since it was the quickest in our 3-way SATA 3.0Gb/sec Shootout.
Our test bed:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2Ghz)
Giga-byte GA-K8NXP-SLI
Western Digital WD1600JS
NVIDIA 6600GT SLI Edition (single 128MB card )
1GB (512MBx2) Corsair XMS4400
Our motherboard is an nForce4 based board, which features support for the SATA II standard, up to 3.0 Gb/sec SATA transfer rates, and NCQ and TCQ.
We used the following nForce platform drivers in conjunction with our testbed:
nForce4 Chipset Driver 6.66
NVIDIA graphics driver 71.89
Windows XP SP2 w/out further updates
|AnandTech Storage Tests
|Business Winstone IPEAK

|Real World Multitasking Test

More details about each individual test will appear in the section of the review dedicated to that particular test.
Pure Hard Disk Performance - IPEAK
We begin our usual hard disk drive test session with Intel's IPEAK benchmarking utility. We first run a trace capture on Winstone 2004's Business and Multimedia Content Creation benchmark runs to catch all of the IO operations that take place during each test. We then play back each capture using RankDisk, which reports back to us a mean service time, or average time that the drive takes to complete an IO operation.
The 500GB Seagate's 541 IO operations per second is no match for the 7K500 and WD4000YR drives at 746 and 769 IO operations per second under the Business Winstone 2004 IPEAK capture. We were also surprised to see the WD4000YR perform so well, since it is using the 1 st generation 1.5Gb/sec interface.
Let's take a look at Content Creation performance.
Again, Seagate does not do well in the Content Creation portion of the Winstone 2004 IPEAK capture. Western Digital comes out on top at about 505 IO operations per second with the 7K500 following at 458 IO operations per second.
The mean read service time reported by IPEAK's AnalyzeDisk is the time that it takes for a request to be fulfilled by the drive. Even the IPEAK service times reported are far from being in favor of the 500GB 7200.9 at 13.9ms. The 7K500 takes 1 st place here with 12.821ms and 2 nd place is taken by the WD4000YR at 13.060ms.
WinBench 99 - Transfer Rate Test
We ran WinBench 99's Disk Transfer Rate Test to get a better measure of just how well the transfer rates are over the course of the entire disk. The Disk Transfer Rate test reads from the media in a linear fashion from the beginning (first track) to the end (last track). The numbers below represent the ceiling and floor of the transfer rates throughout the test.
HDTach - Sequential Read Speed/Burst Speed
The HDTach benchmark gives us a great deal of detail on the performance of a hard drive. Like the WinBench 99 Transfer Rate test, HDTach graphs the sequential read speed of the drive as the drive reads continuously from beginning to end.
Windows Read Speed Test
It seems the Windows Read Speed Test gives us a better readout of the actual transfer rates of each drive. We see that the Seagate and Hitachi read speeds are off the charts because of their 3.0Gb/sec maximum transfer rate. The WD4000YR is a 1.5Gb/sec drive which is why the transfer rate is much lower than the 7K500's 200MB/sec+ rate.
Real World Tests
Synthetic benchmarks are not always the best gauge in measuring the "real" performance of hardware, which is why we have incorporated a few real world tests in our storage reviews. One of our tests, the file system performance test, measures the drive's ability to handle file zip, unzip, and copy operations. This is a great measure of how one drive compares to another and we have put together a group of tasks that most of us typically use.
File System Tasks Within Drive
- File Zip Test - We take a 300MB file and measure the time that it takes for our test bed to compress it to ZIP format. We then run the test again with 300 1MB files to see how the drive performs when working with multiple files.
- File Unzip Test - Using the same methodology as the File Zip Test, we take a ZIP file of a single 300MB file as well as a ZIP file of 300 1MB files and measure the time that it takes to uncompress each ZIP successfully.
- File Copy Test - We measure how long it takes for the system with our test drive to copy a single 300MB file as well as 300 1MB files.
The File Zip/Unzip tests are more dependent on the CPU than the File Copy tests which is why we see the extremely close results. The File Copy test shows Hitachi's 7K500 performing slightly quicker than the Seagate and Western Digital drives.
Real World Tests - Multitasking Performance
To provide a real world example of multitasking, we run Outlook and import 450MB of emails into an account. We then measure the time that it takes our benchmarking utility to zip a single 300MB file. To compare our results, we calculate the difference between the multitasked process and the single task file zip process.
|Outlook + Zip a 300MB File Within Drive
|File Zip Only
|% Difference
|Seagate 7200.9 500GB, 16MB, 3.0GB/sec
|Hitachi 7K500, 16MB, 3.0GB/sec
|Western Digital WD1600JS
The WD4000YR looks like it performs the best out of the three while running multiple tasks but only by a second or two. It zips a 300MB file while importing emails in Outlook about 12.7% slower than just performing the file zip operation on its own while the Hitachi and Seagate drives handle this task 13.4-15.9% slower.
Real World Tests - Application Load Times
In our Application Load Time tests, we measure the time that it takes for each application to startup. For example, our benchmarking tool begins the stopwatch as soon as PhotoShopCS.exe is run, and stops after the application has finished loading all of the plug-ins and filters and shuts down. We take the average of three runs with system reboots and hard disk defragmentations before each test run.
|Application Load Times (average, seconds)
|PhotoShop CS
|Word 2003
|Excel 2003
|Access 2003
|PowerPoint 2003
|Seagate 7200.9 500GB, 16MB, 3.0GB/sec
|Hitachi 7K500, 16MB, 3.0GB/sec
|Western Digital WD4000YR, 16MB 1.5GB/sec
The WD4000YR takes the lead here as well, opening up each of the test applications slightly quicker than the other two drives. The numbers are close, but consistent enough for us to use in determining the best performing product.
Real World Tests - Game Level Load Times
Our Game Level Loading Time tests include two of the latest games: Doom 3 and Half-Life 2. Because of their high resolution textures and the large levels, the loading time for the levels of each game are long enough to help show a difference between each drive.
We have also included an older strategy game, Command & Conquer: Generals, because of its longer level load times as well. Though the game is a couple of years old, it still proves to be a good measure of data loading performance.
Thermal and Acoustics
Heat and sound are also two very important factors in drive performance especially when considering where they will be used. A loud hard drive that becomes warm very quickly may not be the best choice for home theater PCs or any PC without adequate cooling, and the noise alone could be a bit annoying. Take a look at how each drive performed as far as heat and noise output goes.
To measure the sound output of each drive, we have taken decibel readings of each drive 1" away from the side at their startup phase as well as the sound output while there is disk activity.
Final Words
What we've learned is that even though two of the three drives that we reviewed today have 3.0 Gb/sec SATA interfaces, the 1.5Gb/sec drive topped both of them in most of the benchmarks. We had to run a few of our benchmarks multiple times just to prove to ourselves that the numbers were correct and nothing was interfering with the accuracy of our results.
Beginning with the IPEAK runs, the WD4000YR took the lead performing 769 IO operations per second under the Business Winstone 2004 test and 505 IO operations per second in the Content Creation Winstone 2004 part of the test. Seagate's 500GB 7200.9 came nowhere close to these numbers, but rather took a few steps back.
The WD4000YR also performed the best out of the three in the application load time tests with applications starting at around half a second faster consistently, which is a big deal. With this test, we were not only testing the specified application load times, but also general access times and service times.
All of the physical specifications of the WD4000YR tell us that it won't perform as well as the two 500GB models, but our benchmark results say otherwise. Those of us who are familiar with hard drive technology know that the higher transfer rates that the 3.0Gb/sec models have to offer can only be achieved when multiple disks are striped, but we never thought that a 1.5Gb/sec unit could out-do those with double the theoretical transfer rates.
Currently, the WD4000YR is going for as low as $213 at certain online retailers while the Seagate 500GB 7200.9 and Hitachi 7K500 are going for $350-$400. If you're not looking for a future-proof product and want quick performance for a low price, the WD4000YR is the way to go. The performance of the 7200.9 is just not up to par to recommend at the moment. It may quite possibly give much better performance in a RAID array, but that we'll leave for another day.

Had my first failure of the tour. I just KNEW that this thing would end of causing me trouble since the attachment system is made of plastic. WHY oh WHY can't they make the attachment and support structure out of METAL???
I tightened it to my handlebars, even putting some old rubber tube material underneath to give it a larger surface to grip to. It kept slipping no matter what I did. I finally tightened it down to what I thought was a sufficient torque, only to have the bag slip down about 80 miles into my tour. When I tried to reinforce it again and re-tighten it I ended up stripping out the entire screw and threads. What a piece of *****!!! Fortunately I was in a small town when this happened, and the guy at the hardware store helped me replace the screws with a regular nut and bolt system with a few washers. We cranked that thing down tight and now, after 500 more miles, it's still secure.
I love my Topeak Road Morph pump, but their handlebar bags suck. Also their quick-release seat bags suck too because they can't be attached to a Brooks saddle. Who designs this crap?
