- The Artist
Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954), considered to be the 20th century's most important French painter, communicated joy with expressive colors, striking ornamentation and bold patterns. Matisse, whose mother gave him his first art supplies while he was recovering from an illness, described his discovery of art as "a kind of paradise." He was originally viewed as a Fauvist, and his early works were exceptionally mature. Influenced by Impressionism and Japanese art, Matisse made color a crucial element of his work, and also experimented with expressive abstraction. When he was nearly 80, Matisse volunteered to decorate the Dominican nuns' chapel at Vence, France. Suffering from anxiety, Matisse found serenity in painting.

On September 21, 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, a public-private partnership led by the United Nations Foundation, to save lives, improve livelihoods, empower women, and combat climate change by creating a thriving global market for clean and efficient household cooking solutions.
The U.S. Department of State, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), all of whom are founding partners of the Alliance, have forged an unprecedented government effort to mobilize financial resources, top U.S. experts, and research and development tools to help the Alliance achieve its target of '100 by 20,' which calls for 100 million homes to adopt clean and efficient stoves and fuels by 2020.
The United States is not alone in this effort. The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, a new and innovative public-private initiative led by the United Nations Foundation, will work in cooperation with other leading international non-profit organizations, foundations, academic institutions, corporate leaders, governments, UN agencies, and local NGO's, women's self-help groups, and community members to help overcome the market barriers that currently impede the production, deployment, and use of clean cookstoves in the developing world.
What is the U.S. role in the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves?
The U.S., a founding partner of the Alliance, is utilizing a three-pronged approach to mobilize funding, expertise, and research and development resources to tackle this grave health, safety, environmental, and economic risk that affects the livelihoods of nearly half of the world's population.
Commitment to financial contribution
The U.S. is pledging $50.82 million over the next five years to ensure that the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves reaches its '100 by 20,' which calls for 100 million homes to adopt clean and efficient stoves and fuels by 2020, with a long-term vision of universal adoption of clean and efficient cooking solutions.
Commitment to shared expertise
The U.S. stands ready to mobilize its top experts on gender, health, security, economics, and climate change to address some of the leading risk factors associated with traditional cookstoves and open fires. In addition, the United States will offer technical expertise and assistance for the implementation of clean and efficient cookstoves.
Commitment to research and development
The U.S. will provide an unprecedented commitment to an applied research and development effort that will serve as the backbone of future efforts in the field. It will include:
Understanding and describing the health and environmental benefits of using clean stoves and fuels; Developing the next generation of clean, efficient, durable, and affordable technologies; and, Conducting extensive field testing and monitoring to assure success of the Alliance goals.
What are the challenges the United States and the Alliance seek to address?
Exposure to toxic smoke from traditional cookstoves and open fires accounts for nearly 2 million premature deaths annually, with women and young children the most affected, according to World Health Organization estimates. The primary means of cooking and heating for nearly 3 billion people in the developing world, exposure to cookstove smoke has cross-cutting implications, including: increased health problems, personal security risks, environmental consequences, and a negative economic impact.
Health Problems
Cookstove smoke contributes to a range of chronic illnesses and acute health impacts, such as acute pneumonia in children under the age of five, lung cancer, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). A growing body of evidence suggests links to other conditions, including Tuberculosis, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, and low birth weight.
The World Health Organization estimates harmful cookstove smoke to be the fifth-worst overall health risk factor in poor, developing countries.
Personal Security Risks
Reliance on biomass (e.g. wood, dung, coal) for cooking fuel and heating forces women and children to spend many hours each week collecting these items. Women and girls face severe personal security risks as they collect fuel, especially those living in communities of instability, including refugee camps and conflict zones.
Environmental Consequences & Climate Change
Roughly 3 billion people cook their food by burning solids, such as wood, dung or coal in crude, polluting stoves. The use of these fuels represents a significant part of the total primary energy demand in developing regions, nearly half for Africa and more than a quarter for India. Reliance on biomass increases pressures on local natural resources and habitats.
Inefficient, polluting cookstoves can contribute to climate change through emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and aerosols such as black carbon. The broad use and adoption of clean cookstoves would significantly reduce these emissions.
Why the United States is committed to this partnership.
Encouraging the development and use of clean cookstoves in cultures, communities, and countries throughout the developing world is consistent with the core principles of U.S. foreign policy and development efforts, which focus on improving the lives of the world's most vulnerable populations. It is also consistent with U.S. commitments to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. This initiative is working toward reversing the negative health, security, and climate implications of traditional cookstoves and open fires.
The U.S. and the '100 by 20' campaign
The United States is committed to working with the Alliance to help achieve its '100 by 20' goal, which calls for 100 million homes to adopt clean and efficient stoves and fuels by 2020, thereby laying the foundation for a long-term, universal adoption of clean and efficient cooking solutions.
To achieve this goal, the United States joins the Alliance in pursuing a business plan that will: address the global prerequisites for the field to ensure the large-scale adoption of clean cookstoves; identify target markets and develop operational strategies that emphasize the participation of women; and, develop a globally coordinated research roadmap to facilitate progress on all aspects of the Alliance's work, including public health, personal security, and the environment.

Powder: making Pow even easier!
May 25, 2011 § 5 Comments
Pow is the hot new zero-config server released by the benevolent guys at 37signals. They created it to make all of our lives easier because you no longer have to think about application servers in development with Pow. Obviously thin, unicorn, passenger or whatever your choice of production server is are still important, but Pow makes your local environment easier to deal with.
But is it really easy enough?
Like any lazy developer, that was the question Adam and I asked ourselves when we first installed Pow, and our answer was no. Adding a project to Pow, restarting the project, opening the project in a browser, even installing Pow itself; all these tasks seemed so much harder now that Pow had made everything else so easy. So the only sensible thing to do was write something that would make it easier again.
Later that day we released the first version of Powder and everything became easier again. If you want to use Pow, install Powder first with a quick
gem install powder
and then installing Pow is as easy as
powder install
Then, if you had a Rails project called chunky-bacon, just
cd path/to/chunky-bacon
powder open
and your web browser will open your app at http://chunky-bacon.dev. Easy.
Check out the Readme for more of what Powder can make easier for you. And if you think of anything else to do with Pow that could be easier, open an issue, or fork Powder and send us a pull request.

Picture This
This software provides an opportunity to take a different approach to
educating patients.
While every optometrist has his own way to describe ocular health conditions, refractive errors and vision correction options to patients, we're all talking about the same things. Frequently, we need some help to make our explanations clear to patients. For years I've used hand-drawn sketches to illustrate individual patient's conditions, anatomical findings and how best to deal with them -- that is, until I saw Ocutouch software at the Wisconsin Optometric Association's annual convention in September 2004. Within 15 minutes of visiting the booth, I had bought two licenses for the software and was planning how best to put it to work in my practice.
The Ocutouch technology can be used to describe pathologies or for explanations of refractive error and vision
Integrating the software
To use the
Ocutouch, I have added a second Tablet PC to my practice technology stable exclusively for patient education. With the software, I can either show patients schematic drawings to describe their individual condition or I can show them three- to five-minute animated movies about their condition. I tend to use this technology more for patients who have ocular pathology than for refractive error and vision correction explanations due to space constraints, but that will change when I move into my new office this spring. There, I intend to run Ocutouch in the dispensary and waiting room with eight to 10 different presentations, including ones on refractive errors and common ocular pathologies, running in a loop.
For now, however, I usually select the movie or presentation that I want the patient to view, hand him the tablet PC and leave the room so that he can view the entire presentation. While the patient (and frequently his family) views the presentation, I'm free to see another patient. With a small, light Tablet PC, the patient can adjust the viewing angle and working distance to maximize his viewing comfort.
Once the presentation ends, the patient leaves the exam room and hands the Tablet PC to a staff member, who then assists that patient with any other tasks until I see him again, either for further examination or to answer any questions that the patient may have. They've all been very impressed with the educational experience. Another advantage the Ocutouch offers is that I can move the whole system from room to room, charging the PC over the lunch hour or during longer breaks between patients.
I rarely have to demonstrate to patients or educate them about a condition that the Ocutouch doesn't include. For those that I have come across, such as
orthokeratology, the developers of Ocutouch have been willing to hear feedback about the product and potential enhancements.
The illustrations are simply awesome, which is no surprise when you learn that the person who created them, Stephen Gordon, is a world-renowned anatomical/medical illustrator who has a special interest in ophthalmic illustrations.
Since introducing the Ocutouch in my practice, I find that I do a better job teaching my patients -- and that's really what the title of doctor says anyway: teacher. Additionally, my patients appreciate the experience and are impressed with the technology.

By now, everyone who has access to the Internet has come across some mention of Virtual Reality Modeling Language or VRML. In fact, since the 3.0 beta version of Netscape comes pre-configured with the Live3D VRML plugin, many websurfers have viewed a VRML "world". The initial reactions range from "big deal" to "WOW!!". To many, the real time graphical representations of a three-dimensional space are little more than crude imitations of the spectacular two dimensional computer-generated graphics that we see everywhere in the visual media. Others find that the experience of exploring a VRML world borders on the religious!
Still in its infancy, VRML is just now becoming capable of allowing the objects that comprise its worlds to exhibit rudimentary behaviors. Version 1.0 allowed only the display of static worlds in which objects were incapable of movement or interaction with the user. Recent extensions to version 1.0, such as the Spin node in Netscape's Live3D, allow for some basic movement. Other browsers, like Black Sun's CyberGate allow for multiple participants, represented by a virtual beings called "avatars" to not only be in a world at the same time but also communicate with other people visiting that world.
VRML, barely a year old, is the younger sibling of the much hyped Virtual Reality and is intended to make virtual worlds available over a shared computer network, such as the Internet Although VRML is really just a computer language that describes three-dimensional objects, it has come to signify Virtual Reality's arrival on the Internet. The line between VR and VRML is becoming gradually fuzzier. Recent additions to the VRML spec will allow users to interact with objects in the world. Interaction has always been the key ingredient of a "virtual" world.
In the beginning, all VRML code needed to be written by hand but very few people were interested in such an undertaking. Initial worlds were composed mainly of the simple geometric shapes that formed the core of the language. Thus, the VRML fare was comprised largely of Spheremen and Cubeworlds.
Shortly after the first VRML browsers were made public, translators for three-dimensional CAD programs were written, allowing VRML code to be generated fr omobjects built in such popular programs as 3D Studio. Soon after followed programs called builders which were written specifically to generate VRML 1.0 worlds.
Such programs have steadily become more functional and as easier to use. Today, A VRML novice with no understanding of the language can build a complex world through a simple, intuitive point and click interface in a short amount of time. At present, however, there are no builders available that meet the VRML 1.0 or VRML 2.0 specification for providing object behaviors. To add action to a VRML world, the creator must be able to edit a VRML file by hand.
The VRML world is composed of objects, which are in turn composed of polygons. A polygon is a flat, multisided surface such as a triangle or square. The more polygons that are used to represent an object, the more detailed and realistic it is likely to be.
However, increasing the amount of polygons in a file will not only slow down the rendering speed, causing jerkiness of movement, but also increase the size of the file, slowing transfer speed. The simplest virtual world would be comprised of a camera (user viewpoint), a light, and a single point. Such a world would render quickly and be very small, but wouldn't be of much interest to anyone!.
The VRML author can add realism to a virtual world through the use of texture mapping. Textures are two-dimensional images painted on the face of polygons and can create the illusion of great detail. (See the article on texture mapping by Cindy Reedy in this issue). They also slow down rendering speed, and must be transferred as separate files.
A world that is bogged down with an extreme amount of polygons and/or textures can be difficult to navigate and, for some slower machines with little memory, impossible to render. Thus, the VRML author must often walk the a line between detail and speed. Since the new VRML spec allows for behaviors, it behooves the VRML creator even more than before to keep both polygon numbers and texture file sizes down to allow more of the processing power of the computer to be devoted to the computation these behaviors.
Once the fledgling author has mastered the techniques of modeling objects and placing them in the virtual worlds, his/her imagination becomes the only limiting factor in what s/he can create. The world-builder is god to the inhabitants of the virtual world; where they live, how they look, and, with the additions of behaviors, how they interact with their environment are all decisions made by the world's creator.
The virtual universe is waiting to be filled with new and exciting worlds of the imagination. Happy building!

As I've only had the opertunity to use the product for one week I can only say that it seems to be a great griddle. The multilayer coating used on GSI pinnacle products is very tuff and permenant so I do expect a long life. I would have made it a bit smaller as Im usually alone or with one other and the size is alittle hard to pac in the kayak. Great pancakes though.

All 52 scientists and tourists who were on a Russian research ship stranded in Antarctic ice have been rescued.
Pictures from Fairfax's Australian Antarctic Division showed Australian Antarctic supply ship, The Aurora Australis, waiting to pick up those who were stranded.
A helicopter from the Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon transferred the 52 passengers on the Russian to the Australian vessel.
22 crew members will remain on the Russian ship, which is not in danger but has been trapped in antarctic ice since Christmas Eve
A long-awaited rescue of passengers on board a research ship that has been trapped in Antarctic ice for more than a week is finally underway.
Expedition spokesman Alvin Stone said a helicopter from a nearby Chinese icebreaker landed near the Akademik Shokalskiy on Thursday and the operation to evacuate the 52 scientists and tourists on board had begun.
Expedition leader Chris Turney posted a video on his Twitter account showing the helicopter's arrival.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Rescue Coordination Centre, which is handling the operation, said it was still trying to confirm the reports that the evacuation had begun.
The Akademik Shokalskiy has been stuck since Christmas Eve.

There is no doubt that the government's response has been excessive and that the international community has a role to play in ensuring that human rights are respected. But lawmakers would be wise to vote against sanctions, which will only be counterproductive.

Small livebearer farming in my small backyard
I have a two fish container containing Adult black mollies, red platy, red eyed sword tail, balloon mollies and fancy tail guppies. at month of January red platies gave birth 30 frys, then february additional 15 frys and 20 frys of cobra guppies, and March, black mollies gave birth 25 frys and 20 frys of cobra guppies. these are estimations. estimated totals are 120 frys. estimated death is 15. I mixed the frys all in one container with a sponge filter. at month of april and may I gained nothing. but I find 3 or 2 sometimes in the adult tank. I suspected that adult fish eats the babies because the adult are mixed and don't have the proper way of breeding. please help me the proper way of breeding small livebearers to maximize my production of these fish. and sorry for my poor English.. :) I will be very2x thankfull for the help and Information I can get.
I have the same problem..
how can I know if my molly/guppy is going to give birth?..
Just gave birth to 4 new fry ... I wonder if there were more..
very unlikely that they only had four fry. First of all why are you breeding these fish?. Livebearers are simple to breed and i will help you with it.

This ad will not display on your printed page.
As Edge of Tomorrow begins, aliens have taken over most of Europe. Lieutenant Cage (Tom Cruise) is an American military spokesman forced into combat by a general (Brendan Gleeson) for reasons not made entirely clear. (Something to do with the general's fear that media manipulators such as Cage will make him the fall-guy if the human troop surge is unsuccessful.)
Cage has somehow achieved the rank of lieutenant without receiving any combat training or even learning how to turn the safety off on his weapon, so everyone in his group expects him to die quickly on history's second D-Day. When the battle arrives, he does manage to stay alive long enough to cross paths with super-soldier Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). She has been labeled the "Angel of Verdun," because she displayed nearly god-like skills in killing aliens at a previous battle.
As Cage is sprayed with alien blood, he appears to be dying. But then he suddenly wakes up—at the invasion's launching base on the morning of the attack. From there, he has to figure out why he is in a purgatorial time loop and how he can use his seemingly endless supply of lives to formulate the perfect plan to defeat the aliens.
Novelist Ursula K. Le Guin once suggested that in the best science fiction, the author should be allowed one reality-bending premise and then judged on how skillfully she can follow that premise's own internal logic. In Edge of Tomorrow, it is not the time-travel loop that is so hard to accept.
But it's harder to bear how the film fuses its sci-fi premise with an action movie's sensibility: one in which the characters become living, breathing video-game avatars, rather than human beings. And that doesn't work for this movie—because of the movie's own premise.
In the film's problematic second act, Rita tries to hide personal information from Cage because, as she reasons, the more you see another soldier as another human being, the harder it is to watch her (or him) die. The film tries to leverage this in the third act, but fails—largely because it never bothers to make either of these characters people or show their bond deepening. Instead, it loops through the battle scenes to show Cage's progress, suggestiing he is accumulating experience through montages in which Rita casually shoots her partner after each training session to "reset" the day.
In a very telling third act moment, Cage—weary from having lived the same day over and over—simply doesn't push a fellow soldier out of death's way. The screening audience howled with glee. Who cares, right? It's not as if, even in the movie's world, this grunt were a consequential person who was really, actually dead.
More than simply a joke that misfires, that scene is, I would argue, the film's most unintentionally honest moment and the one in which it becomes the very antithesis of the comedy classic it is so clearly invoking: Groundhog Day.
In that movie, Phil (Bill Murray) also had to learn to live his day right in order to escape it. But "right" meant something more than simply cracking the cosmic video game sequence of moves. He had to learn (and apply) a moral lesson.
Edge of Tomorrow is much more liberal than was Groundhog Day in its use of religious language; Master Sargent Farrell (Bill Paxton) ironically prophesies that it is on the field of battle that Cage will be baptized and "born again." But this turns out to be all clever punning and nothing more, irony for irony's sake. You should drop any hope that the nearness of death will lead to insights about the meaning and value of life.
The invitations to laugh at death end up backfiring, though. By removing even the possibility of death for most of the movie, the plot strips any decision of meaningful consequences. This comes as no surprise to anyone who has read any postmodern literature or even, say, the book of Ecclesiastes. The result is not a mindset that clings to life as something precious, but one that cavalierly dismisses it as something absurd and meaningless.
Tellingly, Rita asks "What does it matter what happens to me?" And Cage, and the film, can think of no answer.
(This conundrum is compounded by the incomprehensible epilogue, about which I can only say, without spoilers, that it appears to change the rules that supposedly applied to every scene before it.)
There are some slivers of entertainment here and there. Blunt is good, an unexpectedly plausible action heroine. Bill Paxton gives a marvelous little performance, made all the more delicious because his character is exactly the opposite of his career-launching role as Private Hudson in Aliens. Cruise, while clearly more comfortable in the film's back half (once Cage turns heroic), is still our best action movie actor, seemingly ageless, and capable of playing essentially the same character in film after film, using his undeniable charm and charisma to carry us past some really poor writing.
If it is hard to put aside the film's artistic and thematic deficiencies and simply enjoy it as a summer "things go boom" movie, perhaps that is because one hopes (although it is an increasingly faint hope) in something more from Doug Liman. Twelve years ago, Liman helmed The Bourne Identity, one of the best action thrillers of our generation. Like Edge of Tomorrow, it paired a seemingly indestructible male hero with an all-too-vulnerable female accomplice. Unlike Liman's subsequent genre films (Edge of Tomorrow, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Jumper) it had a bottomless melancholy, which sprung from its Bourne's growing ambivalence towards violence and horror at his own ability to dispense it without consequence.
When an actor or director makes a movie that good, I usually say I'll get in line for his or her next three projects, no questions asked. Edge of Tomorrow didn't persuade me to give up on Liman, but it did reset my own anticipation meter for his next film back to zero. Bourne is starting to look an awful lot like the outlier in his filmography.
The bulk of Edge of Tomorrow's PG-13 rating comes from military violence. At least one soldier uses an excremental adjective when expressing disbelief, and there is a quick shot of male buttocks played for humor. A soldier has a ship fall out of the sky and crushes him. Another is splattered with alien blood, causing his face to melt. Another soldier is shown (in the background) on fire. Vehicle crashes and explosions abound. The depiction of violence is less explicit and gruesome than an average episode of Game of Thrones, but it is pervasive and perhaps the more desensitizing for being divorced from any material suffering.

National Pork Producers Council Statement On Animal Abuses At A Wyoming Farm
Contact: Dave Warner 202-347-3600
Undercover video from a Wyoming hog farm released today by an animal rights group shows practices that are abhorrent to U.S. pork producers. The National Pork Producers Council condemns such actions, which are not in accord with the U.S. pork industry's best practices that are exemplified in its Pork Quality Assurance Plus program.
Providing humane and compassionate care for their pigs at every stage of life is one of the ethical principles to which U.S. pork producers adhere. U.S. pork producers are committed to caring for animals in a way that protects their well-being. Just as it is to others, mistreatment of animals is appalling to pork producers. We do not defend and will not accept mistreatment of animals.
NPPC understands that the farm in question is taking immediate steps to address the situation, including an unannounced inspection of the facility by the farm's consulting veterinarian. Individuals responsible for willful abuse of animals must be held accountable.
# # #
NPPC is the global voice for the U.S. pork industry, protecting the livelihoods of America's 67,000 pork producers, who abide by ethical principles in caring for their animals, in protecting the environment and public health and in providing safe, wholesome, nutritious pork products to consumers worldwide.

Dark Souls: Story TimeAHordeOfJuice | June 23, 2014 | Review of Dark Souls II NA Post - PC
While the first Dark Souls was focused on delivering a story through the environment, this game kind of just shoves it down your throat with dialogue and the occasional cutscene. The story is much more about why you, the player, are in this land rather than why the country/continent is in the current state it is in. This isn't a bad thing, and it seems almost necessary to avoid the story telling from feeling stale and being a repeat of the first game, however it pulls a lot of the exploration of story elements from the items and landscape and strips away a lot of the personal speculation about what happened and why. Overall though the gameplay is great and there are considerable graphical and control improvements over the first game and even though it's not perfect, it is a wonderful sequel to a fantastic game.

Hi all
I'm very intrigued by randonneuring. I did a Vancouver - Kelowna trip last year in one day. It was ~ 450 km. I think I have what it takes to do well in randonneuring.
However, I'm also a committed roadie. In particular, I'd like to excel this season in our club TT. Which is only 18km!
I'm just wondering if you guys think I could do well in both; or, would they antagonise each other to the point where I'd have to parcel my season into segments (say, first half randonneuring, then in the later Summer, be on the road).

Tuesday September 18, 2012
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Hawks have re-signed forward Ivan Johnson, who made a surprise impact as an undrafted rookie last season.
The 28-year-old Johnson averaged 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 56 games. He led the team by making 51.3 percent of his shots from the field and ranked fourth in rebounds.
The 6-foot-8, 255-pound Johnson was the NBA's rookie of the month for April.
General manager Danny Ferry announced Johnson's new deal on Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Mixing SAS and SATA disk drives can cause problems
Mixing SAS and SATA disk drives in the same enclosure can cause interoperability issues, but vendors are finding workarounds.
This Article Covers
Data centre
One problem is that SATA and SAS have different voltage levels. SATA was designed for internal use in servers and PCs with cables of up to one meter in length; SAS supports distances of up to 10 meters, said Joel Warford, vice president of marketing and business development at SiliconStor Inc., a semiconductor company in Fremont, Calf. "Since SATA is not adept at driving a signal over this longer distance, data integrity issues can result," he said.
Further, SAS drives offer enterprise-class features, like error detection and logging, to proactively predict disk-drive failures and dual ports in active-active configurations to support multipathing. SATA drives have a single port and offer few features for performing error detection and logging.
Vendors also use interposers to address those SATA deficiencies. For example, they may integrate a chip like SiliconStor's SS1300 directly into their circuit board. The SS1300 chip delivers error logging and drive protection to SATA drives, and includes SiliconStor's Active-Active Multiplexer technology that converts SATA's single port into a dual-port configuration for multipathing.
Paul Vogt, director of product marketing at Adaptec Inc., finds that managing timeouts is another issue. Because SATA drives were initially used in PCs, SATA firmware includes less robust command sets, while SAS drives provide advanced command queuing and sophisticated verification and error correction. While Adaptec lets users intermix SAS and SATA drives on the same controller, it's not recommended. "If users do intermix them, Adaptec's systems generate a prompt to verify that the user really wants to do this," said Vogt.
The SATA timeout problem has been addressed in a couple of ways. First, SATA disk-drive providers have partially resolved it by improving their firmware to alert the storage subsystem to what they're doing. Second, companies, like Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) and LSI Logic Corp., include code in their firmware to send quick resets to the disk drive to see if it's working before it marks the drive as failed.
Tony Palmer, a lab engineer at Enterprise Strategy Group in Milford, Mass., concludes that while users should still exercise caution when intermixing SAS and SATA, the gap between how they're managed by storage systems is closing. "Vendors are coming out with enterprise-class SATA drives that use many of the same command sets that enterprise-class SAS drives do," he said, "so it's only a matter of time until they're internally managed the same way."

News that the Regency Mall property may have a buyer has leaders hopeful. The city of Augusta wants to avoid costly demolition fees. (April 25, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, April 25, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga.---It has been empty for years, but the owners of Regency Mall say they may be close to finally doing something with the property.
They sent a letter to the city of Augusta saying they are in talks with a potential buyer. The license and inspections department says demolition is an expensive idea that the city would have to fund. They are hopeful a deal is secured.
"What we are going to do is try to get the owner to be more responsible for the property than he has been," said Rob Sherman who is director of the department.
The Augusta commission has tasked Sherman's department to go back out and inspect the building.
Owners say they plan to seal off entrances and exits to the mall if talks with a buyer are not successful.

GREAT idea, I just bought one of those and paid 5 bucks for it for my daughter's stocking stuffer. She loves hot chocolate. Now we can make some to give to other. She will love doing it.

This is a great project for the kids - and make nice gifts! To be more specific, the bags are Disposable Decorating Bags. We used "Dots" instead of gumdrops. Add a tag and go.

Babysitting Conundrum: Correct Grandma or Let It Ride?Cody
I walked through the front door after a very busy day of work as I prepared to leave the office so I could head off on my first full vacation of 2013. An entire week of vacation. Casey had already left for one of her work vacations a week earlier and I was going to be meeting her in Orlando where we would board a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to go to the Caribbean.
The first thing I heard as I walked into the front room of our house was an uncomfortable silence. Addie had a slightly panicked look on her face and I could tell that Tiny Grandma (Casey's mother and my my mother-in-law) was in the kitchen cooking the girls their dinner, and that's when I heard the breathy, gasping and gulping sobs coming from the bathroom around the corner.
As I looked in the bathroom through the doorway, I saw a little body squatting on a child's potty with her hands on her knees and tears running down her cheeks. Bunny was sitting next to her on the floor as she finished using her potty. About every four seconds, Vivi's body convulsed outwards as she involuntarily gulped air into her sad little lungs. Vivi had obviously just finished one of her deep, sad cries.
I asked Addie what happened and Addie responded, "Vivi wanted a new pull-up, but she doesn't need one, so Tiny Grandma and I told her that she didn't need one." Then from behind me Tiny Grandma said, "Vivi demanded a new pull-up, but there's nothing wrong with her old one so I wouldn't let her have a new one and she lost it."
Vivi loses it occasionally, which shouldn't be a surprise because she is a toddler and that's what toddlers do. She doesn't have very many full-on breakdown moments however, and this had clearly been one of those times where she completely lost it. She has had issues about diapers in the past, but that's usually about wanting to go to bed for the night in a pull-up instead of a diaper. Usually, or pretty much every time she's requested a new pull-up, she really does need a new pull-up.
The kid knows when her pants feel too squashy and wet to wear anymore. She's gotten to a point in life where walking around with a soggy butt is not something she enjoys. So, when she accidentally pees in her pull-up she requests a new one.
The whole scene didn't add up to me. I have no doubt that Vivi really did lose it because she wanted a new pull-up, and I don't doubt that my mother-in-law and Addie both checked the little watermark indicator on the pull-up to see if the pull-up needed to be changed. And I have no doubt that the indicator was wrong. But Vivi doesn't lose it over a pull-up simply because she can't have a new one — it's not that important to her.
I bent down and felt Vivi's pull-up from the outside, and sure enough, it gave that squishy-squashy feeling that wet diapers have when they're soaked through. Vivi hadn't been lying— my little lady was actually in need of new pull-up.
The whole situation left me in a conundrum. Should I correct grandma or should I let it ride? Vivi's melt down had clearly affected everyone. My mother-in-law was probably worried that I no longer thought that she could handle her grandkids while I was on vacation, but on the other hand my youngest daughter was right. Casey's mom had flown into Indiana to take care of our kids for us while we went on vacation and I didn't want to seem ungrateful for her willingness to spend time with our kids.
Knowing that I was quite possibly making the wrong decision, I quietly kissed Vivi on the forehead, squeezed her tiny shoulders, and whispered in her ear that I was sorry. Then I went upstairs and tried to forget the breathy, gulping and gasping sobs that I heard when I originally walked through the door.
In that moment should I have undercut Tiny Grandma's authority, or backed Tiny Grandma even though Vivi was right?
What would you have done?

Pig in the Park Saturday in Reid Park
September 01, 2011
FONTANA — Kids will have plenty to do this year at the fourth annual Pig in the Park event.
This is fitting for the event, after all the purpose of the fundraiser is to pay for playground equipment in Little Foot Playground.
"It's kind of what its all about, its about kids and families," Village Administrator Kelly Hayden said.
Hayden said the petting zoo will include goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, a llama and more. There also will be six ponies on a carousel, which children can ride.
This year's Pig in the Park will take place from 4:30 to 10 p.m. at Reid Park. Tickets costs $10 and include a pork sandwich, baked beans, chips, corn, desserts and a nonalcoholic beverage. The pork sandwich can be substituted with a brat or a hot dog. Beer also will be served.
Tickets can be purchased at the gate or by calling Village Hall at (262) 275-6136.
The children's play area will be open from 4:30 to 8 p.m. The petting zoo and pony rides won't be the only activities for children to enjoy.
"The kids area is always just fun chaos," Hayden said.
This year's fun chaos features a tattoo station, bouncy houses, balloon animals, popcorn, a free craft project that was provided by Lowe's and T-shirts that sport the Pig in the Park logo that kids can color.
Two bands also will perform at this year's event. Big Foot graduates Matt Ripkey and Justin Swaney will perform from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. At 6:30 p.m. Luv Handles will take the stage.
Hayden said all of the funds raised at the event pay back the debt for the playground equipment at Little Foot Playground. She said it will probably be a couple of more years before that debt is paid off and the funds can be used to purchase something else.
Each year, the event has grown and changed.
"We are still relatively new and trying to find that good mix that makes the function work well," Hayden said. "Face painting is popular with kids but its difficult to find volunteers. So we added the tattoo station. It is easier to find these volunteers. We shake it up to find out what works well for everybody."
Although organizing the event takes a lot of work, Hayden said the end result is very rewarding.
"It's so nice to see the park utilized and to see the families having so much fun," Hayden said. "It is the end of the summer party. It is worth every second of hard work."
For such a large event to go off it requires the help of a lot of volunteers.
Park Commissioner Dan Green is the silent hero of the Pig in the Park event, Hayden said.
"Without him it wouldn't be possible," she said.

Beaufort Sea
The Beaufort Sea is a marginal sea consisting of the waters off the northern coast of Alaska and Canada.
This is bounded to the east by Banks Island of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and on the west by the Chukchi Sea .
The bathymetric characteristics include the narrowest continental shelf found anywhere in the Arctic Ocean. This shelf is dissected by three submarine valleys, the largest of which is 45 kilometers wide, and drops off rapidly to the Beaufort Deep, whose maximum depth is 3940 meters (m).
Source: Wikimedia Commons
Although it is geographically identified as a separate entity, the Beaufort Sea is oceanographically an integral part of the Arctic Ocean and as such cannot be described in isolation.
Substantially different circulation regimes are found on the inner and outer shelf regions, with the demarcation line corresponding approximately to the 50 m isobath. The inner shelf is strongly wind driven in summer, with a westward water motion driven by the prevailing easterly winds. This circulation varies seasonally, responding rapidly to large changes (including even an occasional reversal in prevailiing wind direction), and is far less energetic in the winter (with wind effects persisting even under the fast ice close to the shore). The outer shelf circulation is energetic at subtidal frequencies throughout the year, with the dominant feature being the Beaufort Undercurrent, a bathymetrically steered mean eastward flow extending from around the 50 m isobath to at least the base of the continental slope. This relatively strong current apparently increases with depth to around 10 centimeters per second (cm s−1), and is probably not locally driven but rather part of the large scale circulation in the Canadian Basin, although the portion of the Undercurrent overlying the shelf can be modified by local wind forcing. Frequent cross–shelf motions are found near the inshore edge of the Undercurrent, with daily means exceeding five cm/sec and durations typically three days or more. These serve to transport materials between the inner and outer shelf regions.
The most prominent hydrographic feature on the shelf is a subsurface summer temperature maximum generally found seaward of around 40–50 m depth which disappears during the winter. This is associated with an eastward flow of water originating in the Bering Sea. The warm water enters via the eastern Bering Strait and follows the Alaskan coast around Point Barrow. It is composed of two water masses called Alaskan Coastal Water (ACW) and Bering Sea Water (BSW). The ACW has summer temperatures of five to ten degrees Celsius (C) west of Barrow with salinities less than 31.5. It mixes rapidly with local surface water as it moves eastward and is not clearly identifiable east of around 147 to 148 degrees W. The BSW is more saline and has a density range from 25.5–26.0 σt, and can be traced as far east as Barter Island at 143 degrees W.

Reading, PA Race Drivers Killed, June 1966

- 1966 |
- Auto Racing
Reading, Pa. (UPI) -- The body of veteran racer, JUD LARSON, one of two drivers killed in a mishap at the Reading Fairgrounds Raceway Saturday night, will be shipped to his Indianapolis home today.
The 43-year-old LARSON and WILLIAM (RED) RIEGEL, 34, of Leesport, Pa., were killed when their cars collided on the second lap of a 30-lap feature race.
Berks County coroner, DR. JOHN FOCHT, said an autopsy would be performed today to determine the exact cause of death.
He said a post-mortem showed RIEGEL died of a fractured skull and spine.
Track officials said the wheels on RIEGEL'S car locked on the first turn, near the grandstand, and sideswiped LARSON'S machine sending both up a short embankment.
The cars bounced back onto the track, ran up the embankment a second time and came back on the track before flipping over, trapping the drivers inside. Officials said both men were wearing harnesses and belts.
LARSON, a native of Texas, has been racing autos since he was 16. He drove every type of car in the past three decades after starting in jalopies and home made race cars.
Both drivers were rushed to Community Hospital here where RIEGEL was dead on arrival. LARSON died in an emergency operating room.
RIEGEL, who was an employe of a Reading trucking firm, is survived by his widow, ELLEN, and two daughters. Services will be held Tuesday at the MERTZ Funeral Home in nearby Laureldale and burial at the Bern Church Cemetery near his home.
Funeral arrangements for LARSON were pending.
LARSON was survived by his widow, RUTH, and three daughters, BEVERLY, 20, PAMELA JOYCE, 7 and DORIS JEAN, 1.

No disrespect to Emergency Care Assistants (ECA's), but if they respond to an emergency call there is little they can do (CPR excepted). They will have to wait for a ParamedicEMT on a car or double staffed ambulance. The question should be asked why the Ambulance Technician (EMT) grade was discontinued. Morale is at it's lowest ever level amongst frontline ambulance staff. I have been emplyed by the Ambulance Service for 22 years and have never known a situation like this before. We do expect take some Cr*p from management, it goes with the job. Patients are now being affected and that is unacceptable.

The plight of a Salemsborg Lutheran Church, Smolan, Kan., family and the help they received made the Salina [Kan.] Journal in June.
Combines pulled into Eldon Tillberg's wheat fields one afternoon — driven by other parishioners and neighbors. The previous day, Mary Tillberg had a stem-cell transplant. The community crew harvested 500 acres by 6:15 p.m., saving Tillberg at least four days and freeing him up to be with his wife, who Ethan Feistner, pastor, says is doing well and was to return to work in September.
"It about takes your breath away," Eldon Tillberg said, choking back emotion as he watched 13 combines roll through a 160-acre field. In addition to donated grain trucks, discounted parts from a tire company for those helping the Tillbergs and an on-site mechanic to help with breakdowns, a local restaurant donated 40 meals for a feast at the Smolan Fire Department that night.
Church members LeRoy and Colleen Pihl organized the day's events, spurred by a conversation at church one Sunday. "It kind of changes your perspective on things," said parishioner Jane MacDonald, who received similar care when she needed it.
