Please stay on marked trails. Take only pictures; do NOT pick the wildflowers. Don't feed the animals (people food can kill them) and don't get to close. Remember they are "wild" animals, not pets. Leave nothing behind, especially not trash or footprints in the wildflowers. And please remember, alcohol and altitude do not mix, especially if you add ATV to the equasion. Do your drinking after you come back in from the trails!

The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow Mortgages dropped eight percentage points from this time last week, landing at 3.97 percent. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate hovered between 3.96 and 4.08 percent for the majority of the week, before settling at the current rate on Tuesday.
"Rates dropped below 4 percent on Thursday amid the uncertainty and turmoil following the MH17 flight disaster and ongoing military activity in the Middle East," says Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. "This week, despite a fair amount of domestic economic data slated for release, we expect events in the Middle East and Ukraine will continue to put a damper on rates."
Zillow's real-time mortgage rates are based on thousands of custom mortgage quotes submitted daily to anonymous borrowers on the Zillow Mortgages site, and reflect the most recent changes in the market. These are not marketing rates, or a weekly survey.
The rate for a 15-year fixed home loan is currently 3.01 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 2.77 percent.

This page compares the sensitivity of JWST's instruments to those of current observatories. The purpose is to help astronomers visualize JWST's capabilities, and how JWST will advance their own science.
There are many ways to measure performance: limiting point source flux, limiting line flux; time to survey a given area of the sky or number of spectroscopic targets; and so on. We select illustrative simple cases for fairly short (10,000s) integrations. For other scenarios, users can scale from the data tables below, or use the JWST Exposure Time Calculators.
Where the numbers come from: JWST sensitivities used here are requirements: the minimum performance required of each instrument. This is a conservative approach; the on-orbit performance may be better.
Sensitivities for other observatories are taken from instrument handbooks, online calculators, and published papers, as documented in the data tables. If a user believes they have discovered an error in these sensitivities, they are requested to contact email@example.com.

BringIt: Competitive Gamers to Clash for Cash
BringIt is setting up a service with a secure site where gamers can compete for cash online 24/7. Any game platform with Internet connectivity can get in on the action.
"BringIt is going to transform the videogame landscape by allowing individuals to compete online for bragging rights and real money through skill-based gaming," said BringIt CEO and founder Woody Levin. "Gamers have shown great interest and support for competitive gaming, so we are pleased to offer BringIt as a player-driven service that quickly connects gamers, allowing them to play legally for cash while getting a more intense competitive rush."
Some of the titles in the service during the beta period are Madden NFL 2009, Gears of War 2, FIFA 2009, Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, Rock Band 2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart. BringIt will accept PayPal and major credit cards for bets between $1 and $100,000. Read more about the terms and conditions from the press release after the break.
I should think that mixing videogames and betting will seriously up the danger factor for gamers with addictive personalities. It should also make BringIt a lot of money.
BringIt makes competitive console gaming easy, adding only one step to secure online game play. Registration is free and available to gamers 18 years and older. Players can fund their BringIt account via PayPal or major credit card and access their secure account at their convenience. As a special welcome, BringIt will match initial deposits up to $20 for those individuals who register and use the service during the open beta period. Accounts are limited to one per person, insuring player identities are verified.
Players can 'BringIt' for as little as $1 or up to as much as $100,000, so both casual players and those who crave the adrenaline of high stakes can engage at their own pace and be assured their BringIt
challenge experience is safe and secure. During gameplay, the collective entry fees are held in an escrow account until the winner is declared and verified, at which point the funds are released to the
winner's secure account, minus the BringIt service fee. BringIt provides neutral arbitration as well as a self-regulating player feedback system that lets members know an opponent's standing in advance of initiating a challenge or accepting a match.

SOUTH BEND — The city has hired a new director of Animal Care and Control to replace Gary Libbey, who was let go in April after 17 years on the job.
Elkhart County native Matt Harmon, formerly of the Elkhart County Humane Society, took over July 8, Shubhada Kambli, the city's director of Code Enforcement, said Friday.
A graduate of St. Joseph's College of Indiana, Harmon, who interned at Potawatomi Zoo, among other zoos and veterinary clinics, holds a bachelor's degree in biology with a focus in wildlife ecology.
Three people interviewed for the job, Kambli said.
She said Harmon stood out because of his passion and depth of experience, having been a shelter volunteer since the age of 14 and having worked in code enforcement in Elkhart County.
"So it was a unique set of skills that attracted us to him," Kambli said.
Also, as opposed to the other candidates, Harmon had a research background, Kambli said, having studied amphibians in college.
"The city is moving toward an increase in data collection, analysis and transparency, so it was critical for us to have somebody who had a certain level of comfort with numbers," she said.
Since taking over, Harmon has been meeting with staff to re-address internal procedures and protocols. That includes those relating to the shelter's work with rescue groups.
"That's something we're working very heavily on right now," Harmon said. "We're getting in contact with (rescue groups) and kind of reaching out to them ... so we can move some animals out of (the shelter)."
Changes also are planned concerning the shelter's adoption center, he said.
"We're going to be revamping the adoption center, as far as being able get more animals through the adoption center, get more animals adopted out," Harmon said.
"We're going to be focusing a lot on outreach," he said. "Not only to actually adopt animals, but to be able to educate the community in South Bend about how to get a hold of proper spaying and neutering."
Animal Care and Control has faced pressure in the past to lower its euthanasia rate, which exceeded 60 percent in 2012, according to information provided by the Department of Code Enforcement.
In part to address that issue, a special committee headed by Common Council member Valerie Schey, D-District 3, has been meeting since May to update city's animal care and control laws.
Among the committee's recommendations is that breed specific legislation targeting pit bull-type dogs be eliminated from the city code book.
Asked about that Friday, Harmon said, "With breed specific legislation, I think we're definitely headed in the right direction, our hearts are definitely in the right place, (but) it'll take some time to be able to hammer out some of the details."
Kambli, for her part, said she hopes the committee keeps in mind the practical outcome of any proposed changes to city's Animal Care and Control laws.
"Some of these considerations will take time in order for us to adopt a policy position on them," she said, "so we hope that the procedures are not rushed and that there are measured considerations of the import and effect of the revisions."

Big Bear Fest is please to announce sponsorship from Equlibrium Therapies
About Equlibrium Therapies
My name is Greta Munns and I run a complementary healthcare business in Halstead, Essex. I have over 10 years experience in the Complementary Healthcare field, and offer a range of therapies including massage and reflexology.
My aim is to focus purely on improving peoples well-being by getting their body and mind back into a state of balance. Holistic therapies look at a person as a whole. Rather than treating the symptom, the cause of any imbalance should be identified. This is done by taking into account of a variety of factors: emotions, mental attitudes, lifestyle, diet etc. When this is done, not only are symptoms relieved, but the person as a whole becomes well, and returns to positive health.
All of the treatments can be very useful for stress relief. Other benefits include easing muscle tension, improved circulation, helps with anxiety, relaxation, aids sleep disorders and removes toxins from the body. Many people seek the help of an complementary therapist when they have a particular problem, but it can be used to very good effect for the prevention of many ailments, or just to relax and unwind.

QNAP TS-659 Pro II Reviewby Ganesh T S on September 19, 2011 8:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- IT Computing
QNAP is a well known player in the SMB / SOHO NAS market. This market is a highly competitive one with many players like Synology, Thecus, Netgear, LaCie, Sagate and Western Digital. Consumers with a necessity to store and backup their home media collection also form a small segment of this market.
We have been playing around with the QNAP TS-659 Pro II unit over the last month or so. Based on the Intel Atom D525 platform, it has 6 bays and dual GbE ports, making it a candidate for the high end SMB market. The Pro II units introduced this year have a couple of USB 3.0 ports which the versions from the last year lacked.
The purpose of any NAS is to serve as a centralized repository for data while also having some sort of redundancy built in. The redundancy helps in data recovery, in case of media failure of any other unforeseen circumstances. In addition to the standard RAID levels, some companies also offer custom redundancy solutions. The OS on the NAS also varies across vendors.
The QNAP TS-659 Pro II runs a Linux variant (Turbo NAS v3.5 was used in our benchmarks) which can be managed through a web browser. Internally, the dual core Atom D525 runs at 1.8 GHz and has four execution threads, thanks to the hyper threading feature. There is 1 GB of RAM inbuilt, but it is possible for the end user to increase this. The dual GbE ports can be configured in multiple ways to provide load balancing or fault tolerance or just dynamically aggregating the bandwidth.
Let us conclude this section with a look at the marketing specs from QNAP:
The QNAP TS-659 Pro II review unit came bundled with 6 Samsung HD103SJ hard drives. The unit also had the Turbo NAS firmware pre-installed, and so, it was almost pure plug and play.
The contents of the TS-659 Pro II package are as below:
- QNAP TS-659 Pro II chassis
- 6 x 1TB Samsung HD103SJ 7200rpm drives inside the chassis (Retail unit is BYOD)
- 2 x 3ft Cat 5E Ethernet cables
- CD with QNAP Finder and miscellaneous software / user guides
- Getting Started guide
- Screws for hard disk installation
- Keys for the hard drive bays
- Three-pronged US power cable
The TS-659 Pro II chassis is aesthetically pleasing, with a curved brushed steel finish on the top and the sides.
On the front panel, we have the drive bays occupying a major portion at the bottom right corner. Directly above it, there are a row of LEDs to indicate activity on each of the hard disks. On top of this, we have the Status, LAN, USB and eSATA LED indicators. At the top right of the front panel, we have a two row mono LCD display with a blue backlight which is useful when configuring the unit without a PC. There are 'Enter' and 'Select' buttons to interact with the options appearing in the LCD display. On the left side of the front panel, we have the QNAP logo at the top, the power status LED below it and the Power button. Directly beneath that is the first USB 3.0 port with a one-touch Copy button.
Unlike the other NAS units we have reviewed before, the power supply is inbuilt into the chassis. At the rear of the unit, we have a slot to plug in the power cable.
The power supply itself has a small fan, and there are two big fans to cool down the hard disks. Four USB 2.0 ports and two GbE ports make up the right side of the fans. Below this is the reserved VGA output. Above it, we have two eSATA ports and the second USB 3.0 port. A Kensington lock wraps up the rear of the unit.
The hard drive bays can accommodate both 3.5" and 2.5" hard drives and SSDs, and the screw holes are clearly marked out for each. The key slot in front of each bay can be used to make sure that the drive stays securely in place and also does its bit to ensure data security along with the Kensington lock.
In the next section, we will deal with the setup process and also cover the various features of the QNAP Turbo NAS firmware.
The TS-659 Pro II supports PC-less installation. As soon as it is powered on, the LCD display indicates the status of the unit. On an average, the unit took around 3 minutes to complete booting up. Various characteristics such as the Volume Configuration (RAID type) and Networking Configuration could be set up using menus on the LCD display. Depending on the network environment, it might not even be necessary to install and use the QNAP Finder software. We will cover our testbed setup in a later section. In this section, we will look at the various features available in the administration web interface.
The TS-659 Pro II has a web server service which is disabled by default. Hence, visiting the IP of the NAS through any web browser automatically leads to the administration web interface. Otherwise, it can be explicitly entered into by visiting the URL with the 8080 port number tagged on. The gallery below presents screenshots from the initial pages.
The default login and password combination is 'admin'/'admin'. The flow interface also links to other services, customer support and online help wikis. The initial screen shows a list of available wizards which aid the administrator in getting up and running with creation of users, user groups, shared folders etc.
Next, we look at the various options available under System Administration. Under General Settings, one can explicitly set the server name and administration port (default is 8080). Under Network Configuration, one can configure the settings for the GbE ports. The two NICs can be configured in a number of ways to provide adaptive load balancing, fault tolerance or just dynamically aggregating the bandwidth.
One of the more important options under the Hardware subsection is the ability to enable write caching for EXT4 formatted volumes. This needs to be disabled if the NAS is used in virtualized environments. There is also the option to turn off the buzzers for various types of events. In addition, the user has control over the fan speeds. Power management options, system logs and firmware update support (direct from the Internet or from the local disk) wrap up the System Administration section.
The Disk Management section provides options to manage the volumes and inspect the current configuration of the physical disks and logical volumes. RAID management allows operations such as capacity expansion and bitmapping on the already existing logical volumes.
The HDD S.M.A.R.T subsection helps the user in checking up on the S.M.A.R.T status of the disks and also allows for periodic scheduling of S.M.A.R.T tests (a feature not supported by Synology). The iSCSI subsection allows for enabling the iSCSI service and includes a Quick Configuration Wizard to get a iSCSI target and LUN set up. The firmware also includes an iSCSI initiator to configure virtual disks (i.e., iSCSI targets resident in another network appliance).
The Access Rights Management section provides options for Active Directory support, configuration of users and user groups, shared folders and managing user disk quotas.
The Network Services section provides options to configure Samba, Apple Filing Protocol and NFS. FTP, Telnet / SSH and SNMP settings can also be modified. The web server service can also be enabled and configured in this section. uPnP and Bonjour services can also be enabled.
The TS-659 Pro II provides a rich set of application servers as evident in the gallery below.
The Web File Manager provides an AJAX interface to the file system on the NAS. The uPnP media server also enables the unit to act as a DLNA server. Multimedia Station organizes the photos and videos in the NAS in a single easy to use page. A caveat for the users is that the Multimedia Station doesn't use the same login credentials as the one used for the administration. The surveillance station supports upto four IP cameras. The streams can be viewed in real time or recorded for archival purposes.
The firmware web interface also supports a host of other options like configuring backups on the Amazon S3 service and ElephantDrive. The One-Touch Copy button in the can be configured to either copy from the USB drive to the NAS (default behaviour) or copy over a specific directory in the NAS over to the USB drive. The button can also be disabled if necessary.
The TS-659 Pro II can also be configured as a network UPS slave. QNAP also provides the MyCloudNAS service (dynamic DNS) which helps users to access the unit over the Internet. Users can also configure the various services which are visible over the MyCloudNAS service. Of course, the appropriate router ports need to be opened up, and the firmware provides options for auto configuration. The last section allows the users to check up on the information about the system, the currently turned on services and monitor the resource usage.
The host silicon in the SMB / SOHO NAS market is primarily from two players. While the low end is dominated by Marvell, the high end is dominated by Intel's Atom processors. As one goes higher, we have even more powerful Intel CPUs (such as the low end Core i3s). Freescale used to have some design wins till 2009 with their PPC based processors, but we haven't seen any units based on their processors in their last two years.
Removing the drive bays of the TS-659 Pro II reveals an array of 6 SATA slots and a couple of Marvell 88SE9125 chips [PDF]. These are SATA to PCI-E bridges, with support for 2 SATA devices. We believe another of these bridge chips must be present on the other side of the SATA slots array. This array connects to the PCI-E bus on the ICH9 southbridge.
Most of the high end SMB / SOHO NAS units have 1 GB of RAM which can be expanded. The TS-659 Pro II also has 1 GB of RAM expandable to 3 GB. In order to install this notebook memory, one needs to open up the unit. The brushed steel top can be removed by taking off the screws at the rear end and sliding the top out. The motherboard is covered by a screwed on plastic film with a flap above the SODIMM slot where the user can put in the additional memory.
The rest of the components are not easily accessible, but we did manage to grab a snap of the Renesas-NEC 720200 USB 3.0 to PCI-E bridge which enables the two USB 3.0 ports on the unit. The iTE IT8721F is the hardware monitor sensor and fan control chip.
In the next section, we will have the testing methodology outlined and also a description of the testbed.
For the purpose of NAS reviews, we have setup a dedicated testbed with the configuration as below. The NAS is directly connected to the testbed (using as many Cat 5E cables as there are ports on the NAS) without a switch or router inbetween. This is done in order to minimize the number of external factors which might influence the performance of the system.
|NAS Benchmarking Testbed Setup
|Intel i5-680 CPU - 3.60GHz, 4MB Cache
|Asus P7H55D-M EVO
|OS Hard Drive
|Seagate Barracuda XT 2 TB
|Secondary Drive

In addition to the Realtek GbE NIC on-board the Asus P7H55D-M EVO, four more GbE ports are enabled on the system, thanks to the Intel ESA-I340 quad port GbE ethernet server adapter . With a PCI-E x4 connector, the card was plugged into the PCI-E x16 slot on the Asus motherboard.
Two of the four ports are teamed together as shown in the video below below during the benchmarking.
Intel NASPT is used to benchmark the NAS device. In order to ensure that the hard disk transfer rate is not a bottleneck, NASPT is run from the secondary drive in the testbed (the Kingston SSD). With average read and write speeds of 178.8 MB/s and 167.8 MB/s, it is unlikely that a single GbE link NAS can be limited in performance due to the test system. However, a link aggregated NAS could be affected. Fortunately, as we will see in the next few sections, this wasn't the case for the TS-659 Pro II.
All file copy tests were also performed using the SSD. The file copy test consists of transferring a 10.7 GB Blu-Ray folder structure between the NAS and the testbed using the robocopy command in mirror mode.
There are three important sharing protocols we investigated in the course of our evaluation of the TS-659 Pro II. In the next few sections, you will find NASPT / robocopy benchmarking results for Samba, NFS and iSCSI sharing protocols. Each section also has a small description of how the shares were set up on the NAS. The NASPT benchmarks were run in Batch mode thrice, giving us 15 distinct data points. The average of these 15 values is recorded in the graphs presented in the following sections. The robocopy benchmark was run thrice, and the average transfer rate of the three iterations is presented alongside the NASPT benchmarks.
The TS-659 Pro II supports multiple RAID configurations, but we believe that most of the users will end up running this in RAID-5. So, all our benchmarks are collected with the disks configured in a RAID-5 volume. The GbE ports were configured for dynamic link aggregation (802.3ad) as shown below:
Note that the 6 x 1 TB disks result in a total available space of arund 4600 GiB (shows up as GB on the NAS configuration webpage) when configured in RAID-5. This is due to a couple of maintenance partitions created by the QNAP firmware. Each 1 TB disk is partitioned as below.
Samba shares can be set up easily by enabling the Microsoft Networking service. Under Access Rights Management, any of the folders in the NAS can be included in the 'Share Folders' section. Running the Intel NASPT benchmark and the robocopy tests gave us the following results:
Note that we have also run the benchmarks with the write cache enabled. This shows more than 35% improvement in the write intensive workloads, but the usual expected performance improvement is between 10 to 20% in general use. Unfortunately, it is recommended that the write cache be turned off for virtualized environments.
Moving on to iSCSI, it is again quite straightforward to enable the iSCSI service in the Disk Management's iSCSI subsection. The Target Management tab has a Quick Configuration Wizard to help create an iSCSI target and LUN.
In addition to the NASPT benchmarks for iSCSI, we also put the target through the HD Tune Pro benchmarks. The gallery below presents the various metrics of interest.
In order to test out NFS performance, we set up port trunking with 802.3ad for the ESA I340 in Ubuntu 11.04. rsync was used to replicate the robocopy command of transferring a 10.7 GB Blu-ray folder structure to the NAS and back from it.
|TS-659 Pro II NFS Performance in Ubuntu 11.04
|Write to NAS
|67.83 MBps
|Read from NAS
|61.30 MBps
One of the NAS aspects that does't get much attention in online reviews is data recovery. We have been trying to address that starting with our review of the LG NAS N2A2. In this section, we will first see how RAID rebuild works.
In order to test RAID recovery, we created a iSCSI LUN and filled it up with data so that the NAS became 96 % full. We removed the drive in the second bay, and the administration web interface immediately reports entry into the degraded mode. In the degraded mode, the read and write performance have negligible penalty, and the data access suffers no issues even with the rebuild going on in the background.
The removed hard drive was formatted to NTFS in Windows and reinserted into the drive bay. The rebuild went without any issues. However, repeating this with the drive in the first bay didn't go well. The following two screenshots from the system logs show the encountered issue.
This problem has also been reported on the QNAP forums here. The only way to get past this was to either insert a raw drive into the system or make sure all the partitions were completely removed from the drive to be reinserted (no NTFS or exFAT partitions). We rebuilt the RAID-5 volume three times under different conditions. The table below indicates the time taken for the rebuild process to complete with different replacement drives.
|RAID-5 Rebuild Durations
|1 TB Samsung 7200rpm Drive, NAS 96% Full
|2 TB Seagate 5900rpm Drive, NAS Empty
|1 TB Samsung 7200rpm Drive, NAS Empty
It is evident that the rebuild takes around 4 hours irrespective of the drive being used for the rebuild.
The next aspect we tested was the one touch copy feature of the TS-659 Pro II. We used a OCZ Enyo USB 3.0 SSD filled with 100 GB of data (multiple copies of the 10.7 GB Blu-ray folder structure used in the robocopy tests) and used the one touch copy feature to copy it into the RAID-5 volume. The transfer was carried out at 87.28 MBps.The USB 3.0 feature is a nice addition to the unit, but it only makes sense in situations where you have data on SSDs to back up. We can't imagine too many people using HDDs with USB 3.0 (where eSATA is available for cheaper). We would also have liked a one-touch copy feature for one of the eSATA ports.
The table below records the power consumption of the unit under various conditions with the 6 x 1 TB drives attached. The PSU is not terribly efficient, consuming more than 1W even when the unit is fully powered off.
|TS-659 Pro II Power Consumption
|Powered off
|Idle (Sleep after no hard disk access for 30 min.)
|Powered on
|Powered on (Full load)
We took a look at the performance of the QNAP TS-659 Pro II in the configuration that it is most likely to be used in. It turns out to be a better performer than the LaCie 5big storage server unit that we reviewed last year in the same class.
There are a few quirks in the firmware, particularly with respect to the RAID rebuild. However, none of them are showstoppers. There are a few features such as one touch copy for the USB 3.0 port which could have made more sense for an eSATA port. USB 3.0 is a nice add-on feature, but we are not sure it is worth any additional price premium in the SMB / SOHO NAS market.
QNAP's marketing claims also hold up very well (except for the power consumption numbers which are kept low in the brochures by using 500 GB hard disks, and the rating of the internal PSU, which is 250W instead of the 350W claimed in the marketing brochure). Just like Synology, QNAP also has an exensive wiki system and very helpful forums.
All in all, the Atom D525 based QNAP TS-659 Pro II is the most powerful NAS we have reviewed so far, in terms of raw NASPT benchmark results as well as add-on features (both in terms of hardware as well as firmware). The TS-659 Pro+ has the same hardware specs as the TS-659 Pro II reviewed here (except for the two USB 3.0 ports). If the end-user scenario doesn't involve USB 3.0 devices, the former would turn out to be as good a choice as the TS-659 Pro II.

Connecticut men know their stuff when it comes to their trucks.
Case in point, Todd Roccapriore of Hebron, whose custon built truck named "Widow Maker" captured Best in Show honors and the $10,000 top prize recently at the 28th Annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition in Lexington, Va. It also copped Best Interior, Best Theme, Best Chrome, Best Lights and Best Engine awards at the show.
Todd and his wife, Beth, who owns Clean Slate Environmental, designed and fabricated the truck to be a piece of art, according to fans. And the vehicle is not "just another pretty face." It is a working truck used for hauling contaminated soil for Clean Slate. The interior is tricked out with handmade seats, 64 speakers, more than 400 lights and two DVD players. According to his friends, Todd won't admit how much he spent on it but says he stopped counting after $200,000, which was a long time ago.
You can check out even more at this album on the Shell Rotella Facebook page, or a video of the vehicle at another show by TruckersTV.

Rally planned Saturday for free speech in Brighton
(WXYZ) - A rally is planned for Noon Saturday at the Imagination Station Park in Brighton for free speech.
It is being organized by James Weeks, II who is running for Congress in the Libertarian Party. Weeks tells 7 Action News, 19-year-old Colin Andersen had his civil rights violated when he was ticketed by police for cussing in April when he was in the park.
Police had stopped to ticket another teen for riding a skateboard in the park which is not allowed. Andersen fought the ticket in court and was ordered to pay a $200 fine.
Weeks says he won't be cussing during the rally, but others may repeat the words used by Andersen. Brighton Police say swearing in the park used by families is disorderly conduct.

Bottom Line: People with HIV need to take care of their immune systems. Frequent drug use puts your health at risk. Your immune system can't fight HIV if it is fighting the effects of drugs like cocaine or ecstasy. If you use and want to stop, take the first step by talking to a counselor or your health care provider.
One recent study has found that individuals with HIV have problems with verbal working memory, in other words short-term storage and processing of words. The researchers, from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, found that people with early HIV disease and those with later, symptomatic disease had problems with verbal memory span. (They had more trouble remembering information they heard). Also, those with later disease had less short-term storage ability. The research paper was published in Psychological Medicine (31, p. 1279, 2001). A second study, published in AIDS (16, p. 31, 2002), found that HIV-associated dementia has some similarities with Alzheimer's disease. Also, patients with dementia had higher levels of a T cell called "CD14/CD69" than patients without dementia. However, these levels overall seemed lower than in the time before anti-HIV medications were available. The researchers believe that anti-HIV medication helps save brain cells from dying, but that the virus still damages them.
Bottom Line: Even when blood tests show HIV as "undetectable," there is still virus in almost every part of the body, including the brain. Remember that we all become more forgetful as we get older, so locking your keys in your car doesn't mean you are experiencing dementia! However, contact your health care provider if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms over a period of time: difficulty remembering things, getting lost in familiar places, difficulty making decisions or completing tasks, trouble doing simple math (working with money, for example). If you are having vision or balance problems, see a doctor right away.

Your Opinion: Global warming is socialist fraud
Saturday, February 26, 2011
Dear Editor:
Mankind caused global warming/climate change is a fraud and it is very easy to prove. If the weather is too hot, average, cold, wet, average, dry, windy, or calm the answer is always the same, global warming. Obviously, we are no longer discussing science when the answer never changes when the inputs change. Climate and weather are just a few of the constantly changing environmental conditions not controlled by humans despite our most fervent wishes to the contrary.
In addition to the obvious illogic associated with supposed global warming the science behind the global warming is not science. Global warming proponents have falsified data while data that contradicts global warming is suppressed; programs have been and are written to generate desired global warming conclusions, real scientists are vilified in a planned manner that challenges the global warming fraud, valid scientific papers contradicting the global warming fraud are not published due to the usual the ends justify the means belief. Capitalists and consumers have to be controlled and their money confiscated for redistribution to third world countries supposedly suffering from global warming effects. Global warming is a socialist political issue.
CO2, the supposed demon of global warming now changed to climate change after so much cold weather around the planet, is a lagging indicator. CO2 doesn't cause global warming; it shows up if warming occurs. Human generated CO2 doesn't even have a direct correlation with plant wide temperatures. Water vapor is the most important green house gas and it is impossible to control. We live on a planet covered by water to the tune of approximately 75 percent. Water vapor literally and figuratively grossly outweighs the effects of CO2, CH4 or any other assumed green house gas. Let us not forget the Sun in the equations because it has a variable output.
Humans with our blink of an eye existence are trying to ignore the natural cosmic, climatic, and geological processes that play out over hundreds of millions of years. We are in between just one of multiple ice ages. Parts of the earth are still rising up due to the rebound effect from massive ice sheets no longer weighing down the landscape. Picking one period of climatic history and trying to maintain such conditions through human efforts is a fool's errand. Of course, socialists behind the global warming fraud are fools; however, they are dangerous fools that want to steal our money and freedom.

Forty members of the Evergreen Storm Track Club will compete at the USA Track and Field Region 13 Junior Olympics Cross Country Championships on Saturday.
The regional meet will take place at Western Oregon University in Monmouth and will qualify runners for the national championship meet on Dec. 14 in San Antonio, Texas.
The Storm runners qualified for the regionals with strong performances at the Pacific Northwest Association championships, which took place Nov. 16 at Woodland Park in Seattle.
Nine Storm runners posted top-10 finishes to earn medals at the meet in Seattle, and the Evergreen's 46 entries was the most for the meet that involved runners and clubs from around western Washington. The Storm teams in the 13-14 age division led the way, with both the girls and the boys finishing second as a team.
In the 13-14 girls race, seven Storm runners were among the top 18 finishers as the team finished two points behind Whatcom Tesseract in team scoring. Emily Wilson finished fifth with a time of 15 minutes and 25 seconds over a 4,000-meter course. Serena Smith was sixth in 15:55 and Ashlin O'Neil was 10th in 16:05.
For the boys 13-14 team, Samuel Johnson finished the 4,000 meters in 14:11 for fourth place, and Kyle Cooper finished sixth in 14:16.
In the boys 15-16 age division, Jordan Moore took third place in 18:03. The race covered 5,000 meters.
In the 11-12 age division, Gabe Dinnel finished second in the boys 3,000-meter race with a time of 11:05.
In the 9-10 age group, two Evergreen Storm runners were among the top 10. Sydnee Dyer finished third in 12:59 and Olivia Dinnel ninth in 13:13.
Evergreen Storm Track Club founder Scott Slamp said that runners from 24 Clark County schools represented the Storm in Seattle. This is the first time the club has fielded boys teams for cross country.
"Most of our runners were running their distances for the first time and we have so much to build on," Slamp said.
Teams that place in the top five or runners among the top 35 in their race at the regionals Nov. 23 are eligible to compete at the nationals. Slamp said the Storm intends to enter at least some runners in the nationals.

About Annick Goutal
History and background of Annick Goutal. Goutal blossomed late, coming to perfume making after a career as a prizewinning pianist and model. She then met a man, separated from him, found herself alone with a baby (her daughter Camille), was diagnosed with breast cancer and married her childhood sweetheart. She went into the skin cream business with a friend and instinctively felt they were missing two things, fragrance and packaging. Read more about Annick Goutal

Comments Posting comment... Premium member Presentation Transcript Gay and Lesbian Families: Gay and Lesbian Families A short study in family diversityGay Families: Gay Families The New Right are unlikely to acknowledge the 'family' status of gay and lesbian relationships and whilst tolerating the right to be gay there would be a reluctance to deal with the issue of gay families.Traditional Families?: Traditional Families? Other commentators such as religious groups and the centre and left of centre political parties formulate their response according to traditional interpretation and emerging public opinion.Progress: Progress The Lib Dems and some Labour supporters are keen to have same sex relationship legitimised in order for inheritance rights and next of kin rights to be established. However they fall short of allowing gay marriage - though the tide of opinion is changing. Canada and some areas of USA are moving towards gay marital status.... Slide5: Plumber in 1978 identified three types of relationship. A similar relationship to a heterosexual couple with one person being more dominant and taking on certain roles within the relationship. Ÿ Living separately and concealing the homosexual nature of the relationship Ÿ Living together and having certain rules of conduct between each person. Ÿ Research has shown that like heterosexuals, gays have similar problems of chastity, loyalty and arguments. Sexual Orientation: Sexual Orientation Cheshire Calhoun 1997 - studied a variety of family forms and concluded the sexual orientation as a form of oppression differed from that of gender oppression. Family ideology contributes to that oppression. Plot Summary for Daddy and Papa (2002): Plot Summary for Daddy and Papa (2002) What if your most controversial act turned out to be the most traditional thing in the world? Daddy & Papa explores the growing phenomenon of gay fatherhood and its impact on American culture. Through the stories of four different families, Daddy & Papa delves into some of the particular challenges facing gay men who decide to become dads. From surrogacy and interracial adoption, to the complexities of gay divorce, to the battle for full legal status as parents, Daddy & Papa presents a revealing look at some of the gay fathers who are breaking new ground in the ever-changing landscape of the American family. Feminism and Lesbianism: Feminism and Lesbianism Some feminist writers are against lesbian women forming families because the whole concept of family is a patriarchal and limiting and some even are against lesbians having babies. Calhoun argues that it is the heterosexual relationship that can become patriarchal and limiting and the lesbian families offer the opportunity for women to avoid exploitation and create relationships that are egalitarian. Scapegoats & Moral Panics: Scapegoats & Moral Panics Ÿ Her views are in contrast to the conventional response to gays which sees lesbians as family outlaws whose sexual behaviour runs contrary to the family ideology that lifts the nuclear heterosexual family to great heights. The anxiety about lesbians is because of the way that the nuclear family is perceived as a fragile institution. They are the 'scapegoats'. Society has treated them this way because of the fear - largely orchestrated by the new right - that family values were being undermined. Division of Labour: Division of Labour Gillian Dunne 1999 did a study of the division of labour in lesbian households and concluded that there was a fair distribution of labour. In 81% of such households neither partner did more than 60% of the household chores. Commenting on this fact the women indicated that because our relationship is not a social norm we have to construct our own rules. Are gays without children a family?: Are gays without children a family? Ÿ Calhoun argues that gay and lesbian relationships with or without children are just as much family relationships as that of heterosexual couples. Ÿ If this is accepted then it is just one more variation of family type and legitimising the relationship would reduce anti-lesbian and anti-gay prejudice.

Information for Faculty
The Center for Academic Achievement (CFAA) proctors online assessments for undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses, as well as for academic units conducting programmatic assessments of student learning. Instructors requesting CFAA proctoring must create their assessments in D2L using our guidelines for test security. We can proctor up to eight online assessments per class, per term, including final exams. Each assessment can be no longer than 90 minutes, and must be completed in a single session. We can also proctor, by instructor request, D2L-based make-up tests for individuals or small groups of students.
If you are familiar with our services, please go ahead and skip to Requesting Test Proctoring.
Creating Assessments in D2L
Academic Technology Support (ATS) offers workshops on creating Assessments as well as other resources for faculty using D2L. For information on workshops go to the D2L Workshops page or contact Myra Jones, Director of Academic Technology at email@example.com . You can also download a detailed guide to Creating Assessments in D2L.
Testing Hours
During fall and spring terms, the CFAA seats students for course testing Mondays -Thursdays, 8 am to 8 pm, and Fridays from 8 am to 3 pm; course testing will be available on Saturday and Sunday during the final exam period only. The CFAA is closed during university breaks, holidays, "study days," and Winter Term. Summer term hours vary, based on staffing and demand.
Testing Appointments
Students are required to make appointments to take assessments in the CFAA. Your students can reserve their testing days and times for the entire term at the beginning of the semester, and this is strongly encouraged. However, they must make appointments at least six hours in advance; students without testing appointments will have to wait, in person, for walk-in spots, which may or may not be available during their instructor's scheduled testing period.
Emergency Closures
If classes on the main campus are cancelled due to inclement weather or any other emergency, the CFAA's course testing services will also close. In the event of an emergency closure that occurs during our regularly scheduled operating hours, students currently testing will be permitted to finish, but test-takers who have yet to be admitted to the testing area will be required to reschedule their testing appointments. If emergency closure occurs before test proctoring opens, that day's appointments will automatically be cancelled and test-takers will be prompted to reschedule to test on the next available day.
If an emergency closure occurs on the last day a particular test is open, a member of our staff will contact you ASAP to discuss available options for extension, re-scheduling, or make-up testing. It is up to the instructor to decide on the appropriate alternative arrangement in a timely manner so that CFAA staff can update seat availability in our registration system; it is also the instructor's responsibility to communicate with their students regarding whatever arrangements are made.
D2L Access and Technical Problems
Responses to other forms of testing system disruption (system-wide technical issues, D2L outages, power outages, etc.) must depend upon the severity and duration of the disruption, as well as how many test-takers are affected. Thankfully, technical problems in the CFAA have become less frequent each year, and we work with our colleagues in Information Technology Services (ITS: University hardware and networks) and Academic Technology Services (ATS: online instruction, D2L) to stay abreast of changes and updates that may affect our course testing services. The variety of problems we have experienced, however, have allowed us to develop policies for responding to the likeliest situations:
Problem: D2L Freezes or Computer Powers Off During Testing Attempt
CFAA Response: If the student's progress on the testing attempt was saved, CFAA staff members will allow the student to move to another testing station to resume the assessment. If the student does not wish to resume testing at another station, for whatever reason (e.g. time lost, time pressure, etc.), they can leave the testing area after viewing and signing the Incident Report. If student's progress was not saved on their attempt, but the student feels sufficient time remains for them to start over, they will be permitted to do so. If they choose to leave, they can do so after viewing and signing the Incident Report. The Incident Report will be sent to the appropriate instructor ASAP and copied to the Testing Coordinator. It is the instructor's responsibility to decide whether, and when, the student may resume or re-take the test, and to communicate with the student and the Testing Coordinator to facilitate scheduling a Make-Up and a new testing appointment in the CFAA.
If three or more students are affected by this problem within any one-hour period, it will be considered an "intermittent access" issue. ITS and/or ATS will be notified.
Problem: D2L/Net Access is Intermittent
CFAA Response: Instructors of all tests scheduled for that day will be notified and asked whether they would like us to suspend testing for their class or allow students who wish to test to do so. Until we hear back from instructors, all students arriving for testing appointments will be advised that we have determined that our access to D2L is intermittent and they have the choice of either attempting to test right now, or cancelling their appointment and rescheduling to test later. It is the responsibility of instructors to contact their students and make them aware of their decision.
At this point, ITS and or ATS will be working with CFAA staff to determine and/or solve the problem.
Problem: D2L /Net Temporarily Unavailable (up to one day)
CFAA Response: If D2L/Internet access is temporarily unavailable (determined through consultation between CFAA, ATS and ITS staff), we will notify instructors with classes testing that day and halt testing until consistent access is re-established. It is up to instructors to (1) decide whether to extend their tests for an additional day (recommended) and have all students who have yet to test reschedule, or (2) if the problem is likely to be corrected within a foreseeable timespan, ask that CFAA staff cancel only the testing appointments that are the most likely to be affected, in hopes that the technical issues will be fixed in a reasonable amount of time. If the instructor can't be reached for a decision, we will implement option (2) until asked to do otherwise. It is the responsibility of the instructor to communicate with their students regarding their decisions and contingency plans.
Problem: No D2L /Net Access (for two or more days)
CFAA Response: In very rare cases, D2L has been unavailable in the testing area for two or more days at a time. If this ever happens again, we will notify instructors with classes testing on the affected days, as well as those on subsequent, likely-to-be-affected days. We will work with faculty to develop appropriate plans involving rescheduling and/or alternate venues for testing. It is up to each affected instructor to decide whether to keep their current assessment in the CFAA for proctoring, and wait out the technical issues until ITS has them corrected, or to cancel and select an alternate venue or method for proctoring. CFAA staff will assist however possible in finding an alternative location or proctoring method that works best for you. It is the responsibility of the instructor to communicate with their students regarding their decisions and contingency plans.
Disability Accommodations
The CFAA provides certain accommodations for students who have followed ETSU's protocol for documenting disabilities. Available accommodations include wheelchair-accessible testing stations, low-distraction testing, and extra time (the latter must be set by the instructor within the D2L assessment itself). Low-distraction testing consists of seating students in a corner of the main testing area and offering them earplugs (available to all students upon request). If a student requires other accommodations, the instructor and student should contact the Office of Disability Services.
If a CFAA staff member has cause to suspect that a student is cheating, they will collect any evidence of cheating, complete an Incident Report, and send a copy of that report, and the evidence, to the student's instructor and the Testing Coordinator. The student will be informed that an Incident Report has been recorded and copied to their instructor, and they will be allowed complete their current test attempt. Further investigation or disciplinary decisions are the responsibility of the course instructor.
There is no deadline for testing requests. However, the earlier you submit, the more likely you are to get your first choice of dates, and the easier it will be for your students to make their testing appointments. To submit a Testing Request ...
Although we will attempt to honor all requests for test proctoring, if requests begin to exceed our capacity we will give preference to:
• requests from course sections enrolling at least 100 students
• multiple course sections collectively enrolling at least 100 students and using common exams
• requests received earlier
• requests with flexible testing dates
Make-Up Tests: As long as seats are available, the CFAA will proctor make-up exams offered via D2L. To submit a request for a make-up, go to https://www.registerblast.com/etsu/Professor and indicate in your notes that this will be a make-up.
Instructors' Responsibilities
By requesting our course test proctoring services, you are accepting that, as the instructor of a course being proctored in the CFAA, it is your responsibility to:
1. Discourage cheating by using testing methods that satisfy accepted standards for test security, e.g. randomizing questions, question order, answer order, etc. Remind your students not to discuss the content of their completed tests with classmates, roommates, or anyone else associated with ETSU until after the end of the testing period.
2. Complete and "Preview" all D2L assessments you have scheduled for CFAA proctoring at least three business days before your test is scheduled to open; make sure that you have followed all of the steps under "Required Security Settings in D2L" at the end of this document.
3. Be reasonably accessible by phone and/or email for the two business days prior to, and for all of the days during, your scheduled testing periods. We must be able to notify you of any issues with your assessments that might require your immediate attention, or to arrange for make-ups, extensions, or rescheduling necessitated by campus closures or technical problems.
4. Share the "Information for Students" below, which includes the test registration link, with your classes. Encourage students to register as early as possible for all of your CFAA-proctored course tests.
5. Remind your students to bring their ETSU IDs to their testing appointments; students not showing ETSU IDs will not be seated.
6. On your Test Request, tell us what materials are allowed for your test-takers on each assessment (e.g. calculators, books, notes, etc.), and remind your students to bring the appropriate materials to their testing appointments.
7. Address incidents of suspected cheating or test disruption. CFAA staff will provide instructors with an Incident Report and copies of evidence collected for any instance of suspected cheating or disruptive behavior. Your policy for handling testing incidents in terms of further investigation and/or disciplinary action should be included on your course syllabus.
8. Establish a clear policy for handling cases in which students manage their schedules poorly and are unable to take a test. Include this policy on your course syllabus.

Go outside and look around. What do you see? Are women wearing leg warmers? Are men wearing Tom Selleck mustaches? Is Ronald Reagan in the White House? Are people walking into fast food places demanding to know the whereabouts of the beef? None of that? Really? That's weird, because to look at the movie listings you'd think it was NINETEEN EIGHTY DAMN FOUR!
We've been building up to this all year. Kevin Smith's Cop Out was an homage to '80s buddy-cop movies; MacGruber was a parody of '80s action movies; A Nightmare on Elm Street was a remake of an '80s slasher film; Hot Tub Time Machine took its characters back to 1986; soon The Expendables will reunite a bevy of '80s action stars.
But this weekend is the '80s-est weekend of 2010, with two new wide releases straight from 1984: The Karate Kid and The A-Team. Someone who fell into a coma in 1984 and woke up today would feel right at home. Well, except for being in a hospital, and being unable to move or speak due to severe muscle atrophy, and hearing about Gary Coleman. On the bright side, he'd be able to see The A-Team on the big screen, and The Karate Kid remade with all the karate replaced by kung fu!
The first Karate Kid was released June 22, 1984, two weeks after Ghostbusters and Gremlins, three weeks after Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, four weeks after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Hitting theaters the same day were Top Secret! and Rhinestone. Still to come that summer were Purple Rain, Bachelor Party, Red Dawn, Revenge of the Nerds, The Last Starfighter, Conan the Destroyer, and Tightrope. Though it was never #1 at the box office -- that summer was hugely competitive, as you can see -- The Karate Kid stayed in the top 10 for 16 weeks and ultimately grossed $90.8 million, which would be $214 million at today's ticket prices. It was a huge hit.
Meanwhile, The A-Team was a TV success. It hit almost exactly the same demographic sweet spot as The Karate Kid, i.e., Boys Who Like to Watch People Fight. I turned 10 that summer, and everyone I knew loved The Karate Kid and The A-Team. (I didn't know any girls.) The NBC action series had premiered in January 1983 and was an instant hit. It was at the peak of its success in the summer of 1984, having ended the season in fourth place among all TV shows and having already spawned a Saturday-morning Mister T cartoon.
So what else was happening in the summer of 1984? Let's take a look. Some of these things will probably come back any day now, so we should be prepared.
- The Apple Macintosh was brand-new on the market. It cost about $2,000 (in 1984 dollars!). It didn't run Flash, but you didn't have to sign up with AT&T, either.
- The Summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles, proving once and for all that you don't need clean air or functional public transportation to host the Games. (Said Beijing: "Whew!")
- Miss America Vanessa Williams had to resign after appearing nude in Penthouse magazine. Fortunately, this was the last time a beauty-pageant contestant ever did anything provocative or embarrassing. It was also the last time anyone knew the name of a Miss America.
- The burgeoning home-video market got a boost when the Supreme Court ruled that taping a TV show with your VCR, for personal use, was not a copyright infringement. In this day of DVRs, Hulu, and Netflix, it's hard to believe there was a time when people thought recording a TV show might be illegal. Can you imagine having to arrange your schedule so that you're HOME when a particular program is aired? We lived like savages!
- Paris Hilton, at 3 years old, was already as rich and smart as she would ever get.
- If you turned on the radio that summer, you probably heard "Jump," "Footloose," "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)," "Let's Hear It for the Boy," "The Reflex," "When Doves Cry," and "Ghostbusters." A lot. A LOT. You probably could not get them out of your head. You probably have some of them in your head now. Especially "Let's Hear It for the Boy." Sorry.
