Jan 19, 2011
Up before the sun rises, you climb into your vehicle and drive a long distance alone each day to your job at Natick Soldier Systems Center. When the workday is done, you make a similar journey home. It doesn't necessarily have to be that way. We could save money, help the environment, reduce traffic congestion, and lessen the wear and tear on our vehicles and ourselves by changing the ways we commute to work.
Tracking Fort Bragg's newest engine
Jan 18, 2011
Fort Bragg ushered in the new decade with a softer-sounding chug, thanks to USAX 6508, a firebrick red engine commissioned for service on Dec. 15, 2010. The new model replaces one of two train engines that hauled military equipment for more than 20 years. The new engine runs on ultra-low sulfur fuel, an improved grade of diesel designed to lower emissions of particulate matter with a 2,900-gallon tank capacity of "greener" fuel, which will leave a lighter railmark for decades to come.

Celebrate the Glorious 60-year Reign of Queen Elizabeth II
The 2012 Diamond Jubilee marks the Queen's 60th year on the throne. Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne following her father King George VI's untimely death on the 6th February 1952, also known as Accession Day. It was more than a year before the Coronation could be arranged and this took place on the 2nd June 1953 in Westminster Abbey.
Her Majesty has enjoyed a groundbreaking reign over the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, Barbados, the Solomon Islands and many more independent Commonwealth realms.
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born on the 21st April 1926 in Mayfair, London, to Prince Albert, Duke of York and his wife Elizabeth. In November 1947, Elizabeth married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark and the marriage was followed by the births of Prince Charles in 1948, Princess Anne in 1950, Prince Andrew in 1960 and Prince Edward in 1964.
Elizabeth was forced into the direct line for the throne when her uncle King Edward VIII renounced the throne and abdicated so that he could marry divorcee Wallis Simpson. Her father George VI became king in 1936, changing the line of succession.
Throughout Great Britain and the Commonwealth this year, there will be celebrations centred around an extended Bank Holiday weekend from the 2nd-5th June. People will be celebrating with street parties, concerts, lunches and pageants.
Thousands of beacons will be lit around the world on the 4th June, dancers, musicians, military and equestrian displays will come together for three nights of events in the private grounds of Windsor Castle and the River Thames is hosting one of the largest flotillas ever assembled on the river. A thousand boats will be led by the spectacular Royal Barge which has been designed for the Diamond Jubilee.
The Commonwealth has never seen a celebration of this scale before and is set to be a truly memorable and historic event which will be seen and celebrated throughout the world.
With events, commemorative products and television programmes all focusing on this unusual and historic celebration, we can all be a part of it! The Uber team has gathered together suggestions for ways you can mark the occasion with traditional or quirky gifts for young and old.

Sixty years of history in a bottle
Johnnie Walker & Sons has produced a Diamond Jubilee whisky, selling at £100,000 a bottle (pictured right). The blend of grain and malt whiskies all dating from 1952 was finished in casks made of Sandringham Estate oak before being bottled into 60 diamond-shaped decanters on Feb 6th 2012. This limited edition is being offered to known collectors of rare whiskies - with one bottle going to The Queen herself - so it will be difficult to buy on the open market. But you can still toast Her Majesty with other flavourful whiskies from top brands. Better stick to traditional Scotch though and not let foreign invaders in or you could be off to The Tower!
A wee dram - or more
Toast Her Majesty's health. Loch Fyne Whiskies has investment whiskies up to £50,000 a bottle
To commemorate this wonderful and historical event, businesses throughout the UK have been busy at work creating spectacular and imaginative products that we can buy and treasure forever. Many of us have some of these mementoes from the previous 1977 Silver and 2002 Golden Jubilee celebrations which have taken place such as mugs, coins, plates, stamps and vases.
Why not buy your children or grandchildren a memento from this special day which they can treasure and pass down through the future generations to come.
For a traditional gift why not invest in a piece of china from the official commemorative range such as an 18th century inspired design English teapot at £250 limited to 500 pieces or a tea caddy at £175 limited to 1000 pieces. Other options include china loving cups, beakers, paperweights, jars and tankards.

Clearing customs in Iceland
We are planning a trip to the British Isles in August, and considering using Iceland air. Our connections will be in Rejavik, with a 1:05 layover. Will we need to "clear" Iceland customs prior to departing, or is the airport considered "international" space, with no customs clearance necessary? Thanks for any help you can be.

Strayer's The Communist Experiment is part of a McGraw Hill's World History Series, designed to introduce readers to particular issues that have been significant on a global scale. This book offers an accessible, comparative, and thematically complete treatment of the "communist experiment," based on the idea that communism represents a unique lens through which to view the history of the 20th century on a global scale. Because communism relates to many other events and forces of the world at that time-world war, fascism, the rise the United States, decolonization, feminism, the rise of the Third World, revolution, and more-it provides an excellent frame for understanding those developments and their effects throughout the world.

Two bills targeting the state's foreclosure problem have been approved by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee this week and sent to the full Senate.
One of the bills would require the state Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) to finance the purchase of foreclosed homes from lenders, for re-use as either affordable or market-rate homes. A similar bill was vetoed earlier this year by Governor Christie, who cited potential costs. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Raymond Lesniak, D-Union, said it's been amended so that no state dollars would have to be used.
"Rather than live with abandoned, foreclosed properties as a fact of life, this bill would create a mechanism to transform dilapidated properties into livable homes, and transform decaying communities into thriving ones," Lesniak said.
The second bill comes in response to criticism that the HMFA has used just a fraction of the federal funds available for its NJ HomeKeeper program, which makes zero-interest loans to under- and unemployed homeowners so they can avoid foreclosure. The bill would require HMFA to use all of the $300 million in federal funds the state received as part of the federal "Hardest Hit Fund" for states experiencing a high rate of foreclosures.
"We need to put these federal dollars to good use for struggling homeowners in the Garden State," Lesniak said in a statement.

Today, breast cancer has been known has been known as one of the leading cause of death among women. Breast tumor development could run in the family blood, or can also be due to other factors. Whether you are genetically predisposed of breast cancer or not, it is better to have prevention or be sorry later on. This article will show you the basic steps to prevent the development of breast tumor.
First and foremost, you might have already heard mammogram. In fact, this method has been highly recommended for all women yearly for the early detection of cancer. It has been also shown that women who consider a mammogram yearly have a decreased chance of developing breast cancer later on as compared to those who never undergo mammogram. However, this might not always be the best test to perform especially for women with dense breast. Having dense breast could limit the chance of detecting the tumor at an early age. Although younger women tend to have dense breast as compared to middle aged women, take note that if you suspect a possibility of the breast cancer then you should consider an MRI test.
For years it has always been stressed out that the best way for longevity is to have a healthy lifestyle. Recently, it has also been shown that people with healthy lifestyle have lower risk of developing breast cancer. First is you have to make sure that your body mass index is within normal range. This means that you should start cutting those belly fats to prevent the increase of estrogen hormones in the body. Remember that breast cancers are fluid by estrogen. You should also avoid drinking too much alcohol as this can increase the toxic level in the body. Toxic, as we all know, can further trigger the growth of tumor tissues. And lastly, don't forget to include fruits and vegies in your diet as they produce important enzymes that help prevent the multiplication of cancer cells. Also you should avoid smoking and soy supplements as well since they trigger toxic and estrogen production as well. Better yet, try to suggest to your doctor other possible tests he can do to ensure that you are tumor free., especially if you are at higher risk as compared to other women. Read more…

National Cyber Leap Year
In FY 2009, in response to the President's call to secure our nation's cyber infrastructure, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the NITRD Program Senior Steering Group (SSG) for Cybersecurity R&D developed the Leap-Ahead Initiative with the goal of developing a national cybersecurity leap-ahead R&D agenda. We began by asking the technical community to propose plausible changes to the current cybersecurity landscape. Some 238 responses were submitted via three Requests for Inputs. Our synthesis of all the ideas presented led us to identify five categories that demonstrate game-changing potential:
For those interested, all non-proprietary inputs submitted to the National Cyber Leap Year via the RFI process can be accessed by downloading this portfolio file: NCLY_Submissions_Public.pdf.
National Cyber Leap Year Background: NCLY Background Presentation
National Cyber Leap Year Summit
The five categories were explored at the NCLY Summit held in August 17-19, 2009, in Arlington, Virginia. Invited Summit participants examined the forces of progress and inertia and recommended the most productive ways to induce the new games to materialize over the next decade. The Summit's outcomes are provided as input to the Administration's cybersecurity R&D agenda and as strategies for public-private actions to secure the Nation's digital future.

If you're shopping to Stamp Out Hunger, hit the meat aisle. As measured by poundage of cans collected, Seattle's annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive
If you're shopping to Stamp Out Hunger, hit the meat aisle.As measured by poundage of cans collected, Seattle's annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is among the nation's biggest. But this year, organizers want to go even bigger.
"We collected 882,000 pounds last year," Food Lifeline's development director Camilla Bishop reports. "We're going for a million this year, and we think we can do it."
Now in its second decade, the National Association of Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is the nation's largest one-day food drive. Food donations left in mailboxes this Saturday will be delivered directly to local food banks. "It all stays in the area," Bishop confirms.
Food Lifeline has tapped 120 volunteers and its entire employee force of 62 people to staff receiving points at post offices, but credits mail carriers with making the drive a success.
"Those folks really work their . . . ," Bishop trails off, searching for a printable word. " . . . selves. They go out and come back with the food mid-shift, and go out again."
Many workers return to mailboxes after their shifts to sweep for tardy donations.
"They take this food drive personally," Bishop says. "I've heard them say it's because they're so personally involved and they see people suffering."
What the food banks need most, Bishop says, is protein-packed food.
"The best things are peanut butter, tuna fish, canned chili," Bishop says. "Those are the hardest to come by, so they're the most valuable."
There are a few donation restrictions. Carriers cannot accept glass or homemade items, no matter how much love is packed into a jar of pickled peaches. Bishop's advising locavores to instead visit the grocery store, make an online donation, or give $10 by texting "meals" to 52000.
"While we appreciate the thought, we don't have assurance of the environment they were produced in," Bishop says of the jams and jellies that inevitably show up in local mailboxes. "Give things you would give your own family."

A nice moment during the dust cloud from Bear In Heaven on Vimeo.
A lot of bands got their schedules fucked up by that damned Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland - Coachella was missing a few acts last weekend, and we had to last-minute pull a preview of The Mary Onettes' show at the Sunset. But how many bands spent that delay actually working? Brooklyn's Bear In Heaven got stranded at the Madrid airport, stuck a running video camera on the baggage claim conveyor belt, and now they've got a new music video for a song off their latest record, Beast Rest Forth Mouth, called (appropriately) "Dust Cloud."

Twitter users hit by viral hack attack
Twitter users were victims of a cross-site scripting...
This Article Covers
Twitter users were victims of a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability today as users reported message pop-ups and third-party websites being accessed without consent.
In a statement, Twitter said the exploit is now fully patched. "We have identified and are patching an XSS attack; as always, please message @safety if you have info regarding such an exploit," said Twitter.
In a blog post, Sophos security expert Graham Cluley said, "It looks like many users are currently using the flaw for fun and games, but there is obviously the potential for cybercriminals to redirect users to third-party websites containing malicious code, or for spam advertising pop-ups to be displayed.
"Some users are also seemingly deliberately exploiting the loophole to create tweets that contain blocks of colour, known as 'rainbow tweets'. Because these messages can hide their true content they might prove too hard for some users to resist clicking on them," he added.
Cluley advised users to use a third-party Twitter client rather than Twitter.com until the flaw is fixed.

Resolution: Not A Problem
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Schema and Analysis
the RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilter seems broken as it initializes its map and attributes at the class level and not within its constructor
in addition i would think the expected behaviour would be to remove identical terms with the same offset positions, instead it looks like it removes duplicates based on position increment which wont work when using it after something like the edgengram filter. when i posted this to the mailing list even erik hatcher seemed to think thats what this filter was supposed to do...
attaching a patch that has the expected behaviour and initializes variables in constructor
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Joe, the initialization is the same. I simply prefer to do this right where the attribute is declared, rather than doing it in the ctor (its the same in java!). So this is no problem.
as far as the behavior, the filter is currently correct:
A TokenFilter which filters out Tokens at the same position and Term text as the previous token in the stream.
if you want to instead create a filter that removes duplicates across an entire field, this is really a completely different filter, but it sounds like a useful completely different filter!
Can you instead create a patch for a separate filter with a different name?
I think you can start with this patch, but there are a number of issues with this patch though:
- the map/set is never cleared, so it won't work across reusable tokenstreams. The map/set should be cleared in reset()
- i would use chararrayset instead of this map, like the current RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilter
the RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilter seems broken as it initializes its map and attributes at the class level and not within its constructor
The filter is correct. That are final instance fields and the autogenerated ctor by javac does the same, so there is no need to move them to ctor. In Lucene/Solr all TokenStreams are done this way, thats our code style for TokenStreams.
The CharArrayMap is more performant in lookup, but you are right, we may need posincr. In general the Map should really be simply a CharArraySet or HashSet<String> and the check should use contains.
But I dont understand the rest of the patch.
The CharArrayMap is more performant in lookup, but you are right, we may need posincr.
we don't need it for the current implementation, as we clear() the chararrayset when we encounter a term of posincr > 0.
so the set is only a set of "seen terms" at some position.
"at the same position and Term text as the previous token " is ambiguous, i assumed position to mean same start and end offsets, hence i assumed there was a bug.
i changed the filter to use CharArraySet, there was already a call to previous.clear() in reset(). Since the filter name is different i attached its accompanying factory.
this all started because the highlighter was highlighting a term at the same offsets twice, for example if i had a word with a synonym [ex-con,0,6] and [excon,0,5] then ran it through edgengram filter i would end up with two tokens [ex, 0,2] with different position increments, the highlighted snippet was then "exex-con", i posted this on the mailing list and RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilter was suggested.
this all started because the highlighter was highlighting a term at the same offsets twice,
Perhaps we should fix this directly in DefaultSolrHighlighter? It already has this TokenStream-sorting filter thats intended to do the following:
/** Orders Tokens in a window first by their startOffset ascending.
* endOffset is currently ignored.
* This is meant to work around fickleness in the highlighter only. It
* can mess up token positions and should not be used for indexing or querying.
Maybe the deduplication logic should occur here after it sorts on startOffset?
yes, i think modifying the highlighter would be a better solution here...
im closing this since there is no bug in RemoveDuplicates filter, will post another patch in another ticker if i ever get around to patching the highlighter

A Country House at Work: Three Centuries of Dunham Massey
Pavilion Books, Feb 1, 2006 - History - 224 pages
The film Gosford Park has demonstrated the complexity of running a country house and its estate. Imagine how much more complex the same exercise was a century and a half earlier, when all tasks had to be performed by hand and communications were difficult. In this fascinating book, Pamela Sambrook focuses on Dunham Massey in Cheshire, and shows how the great house and its estate functioned in the late Georgian period.
At the centre is the family, the Earls of Stamford. But the various groups that made the household work fan out like ripples in a pool so that we can trace the responsibiities of the house steward, the housekeeper and the land steward, each with their own teams - the butler and footmen, the housemaids and laundresses, the gardener and the blacksmith. Beyond them are the craftsmen who provided services great and small, from carpentry to sewing, and the tradesmen who supplied food, drink, luxuries and necessities to a household that was far from self-sufficient.
By delving into the minutiae of the household records and accounts, the author has uncovered the stories of individuals that contributed to the life of Dunham Massey, from teh doctor who featured in Mrs Gaskell's novels to the hermit who over-indulged at a familly wedding and fell down the stairs.

is on my website
Even though this is 1.0 but I will say this is right now the best Portal mod period...but there were problems.
*this is constructive criticism*
In the original Portal game the chambers go from easy to hard gradually but in this from easy chamber 0-1 (of course) to hard 2, 3, 4 and it gets worse I had to watch a walk through just to get it and even worse there were some chambers I had to use noclip because it was impossible or unplayable just to get past parts. So you guys made this mod for hardcore Portal fans? which is not a bad thing but for newcomers or portal fan like myself that hadn't played portal in a while. So in future updates need to tone down the difficulty so in each chamber gets gradually harder not easy then hard right off the bat. Oh I forgot to mention the physics using different cubes like fire, ice, action, etc really changes the playing field in a awesome way including wind turbines and gravity pads.
Wow I'm impressed with the sounds of the mod there were times that relaxing music that help keep you in a relax state that you can think what to do next and I love that...oh the turret's great voice acting but I'm so used to the original voice that is was...strange but not bad maybe in a future update be able to change the voice from whats in the mod or switch it to the original.
Wow for a Portal mod I'm really impressed and I was surprised that I had the graphics maxed out with motion blur and still runs smoothly which is really impressive. Speaking of that the loading was for a mod wow really really fast and wow every well done on optimizing the mod with this speed.
Well it's similar to Portal story but I'm not going to give out much info just because that will spoil the fun...
The experience of a Portal mod that works is amazing even it's in 1.0 stage so it does have its problems but once you figure it out its worth wild.

Really touching Story Abhiroop
What an interesting shallow depth of field to really show me this infants eye, the emotion is in her eye and the tragedy of her story. Please excuse, my accidentally double clicking on the like-heart symbol- my hand & computer are not in sync.
Very sad story, but a poignant and gorgeous image. Beautiful.
Such a beautiful sad story. May I use this YourShot assignment credit for my blog at WordPress?
@Mps Siglos Hi, Could you please clarify a bit further on the usage of the pic :)
@Abhiroop Ghosh Dastidar @Mps Siglos Thank you for responding. I will be using it in my blog sample attached:
And I will use exactly the description you have and expand that elephants do have emotions and weep.
@Mps Siglos Sure..Go ahead. :)
If possible, do send the link of the blog as well, would love to read it.
@Abhiroop Ghosh Dastidar @Mps Siglos Thank you and I will.

Is it possible to purchase this photograph?
@Ashley Brooks Sure Ashley...Please do share your email id, for me to be able to further communicate on the matter.
Abhiroop ( firstname.lastname@example.com)
Great story-telling image! Its crystal eye shows the pure fear of human.
Dear Everyone,
Thanks for the appreciation. It truly means a lot. Yes, beyond the ambit of this photograph, it has been a moving experience to have encountered this facet of our nature.
Sad story .....but such is the reality when humans venture into animal territory
Excellent capture and story on the encroachment of the natural habitat of Elephants by the ever increasing human population in India. I saw a documentary on this. This image captures the terror this baby was subjected to and the torment it suffered at the loss of its family in a direct connection to the root cause of all loss of natural habitat and wild animal populations, I applaud your good work. I hope an image like this or the one I submitted that shows the other side of the coin will be included in the "Animals We Love" assignment.
Great story on the encroachment of natural habitat of Elephants by ever the ever increasing human population which is the root cause of all tragic destruction of the natural world as in the case here. Thank you for posting this for others to see. Excellent work Abhiroop. I hope a photo like this will be included in the "Animals We Love" assignment.
So, so sad. Your story made me cry. Such a beautiful photo though. At least you have a memory of this beautiful wee baby.

Get real life fitness
Article By: Rob PetersTue, 04 Oct 2011 5:51 PM
I have never been to a gym that puts as much emphasis on form and functionality as the Cape CrossFit Gym. It is also the only gym I have been to that has a compulsory basics course before you can start training. That is not a criticism, but rather an endorsement of a concept that has very quickly turned me into a believer...
I admit I had my doubts before starting the programme, but two weeks on, I am already feeling the benefits and totally buy into their ideals.
When I first met with Head Instructor Jobst Olschewski a few weeks ago, I was not sure what to expect. I have always found gym pretty boring. It is one of the reasons I would rather hit the trails in and around Cape Town for a run than the treadmill indoors, but I had been hearing more and more about CrossFit and how the training had helped other runners, and I was intrigued enough to set up an assessment with Jobst.
My immediate impressions were good. The gym itself is pretty Spartan. There is not a treadmill or stationary bike in sight. The only cardio machines are three rowers stacked against the wall. Crossfit, I would come to learn, promotes functional muscle as opposed to aesthetic muscle.
The bulk of their workouts focus on exercises that exploit the full range of movements, utilising weightlifting, gymnastics and metabolic conditioning. No one workout is the same.
"Functionality means that we do stuff that transfers really well into real life," explains Jobst.
"A dead lift translates into picking things up, while a squat equals sitting down or standing up, as opposed to dumbbell curls or cable rows, which have very limited usage in real life."
In other words, big biceps courtesy of curling weights are not going to help when you need to extend the full range of motion in your arm to lift something up.
Back to basics
My assessment with Jobst was done in order to discover my strengths, weaknesses and any functional issues that I may have before proceeding with the Basics Course.
I am reasonably fit and according to Jobst I am above average as a beginner, but it is abundantly clear that I have the arm strength of a 12-year-old girl. I discovered this somewhat embarrassing revelation during the pull-ups segment of my assessment.
Initially I am impressed with the fact that I can bang out five pull-ups, but when Jobst tells me to fully extend my arms, I struggle to complete two. Functionality is again brought up and already I am beginning to see the light.
"If you need to pull yourself up in the real world, your arms will be fully extended," says Jobst. "Doing pull-ups without extending your arms fully is not going to help."
It is during my assessment that I discover just how much CrossFit focuses on form and function. It is also reveals what I am doing wrong. Jobst points out where I am slipping up and gives tips on how I can improve on it going forward.
It is something he and the other instructors keep an eye on throughout the Basics Course (six classes, which focus on teaching you the correct way to do the exercises that feature in group classes), reminding me when I slip back into old habits and continuously encouraging me to improve. They do this for all new members.
By the time I get to my first class, I feel like I have made pretty significant improvements and can't wait to get started.
That's going to hurt
Variety is the spice of life, they say, and that is something CrossFit definitely promotes. No workout is ever the same. The day's workout is posted on the website at 12am every day, but I do like a surprise, so I have yet to check up on that before heading through to class.
It has landed me in trouble more than once already, with some pretty mean workouts hitting me hard. My first class was the tail-end of one of the gym's challenges, which in a nutshell consisted of 'thrusters' and pull-ups in sets of 21-15-9. Needless to say, the next three days were tough, as my broken arms struggled with everything from driving to brushing my teeth.
The great thing about the variety of workouts means that you are unlikely to follow a heavy shoulder workout with another one, meaning your shoulders will get a break. The flipside is that by the end of the week, pretty much my whole body is in pain. Good pain, but pain nonetheless.
Despite the agony, I keep going back, knowing that benefits will far outweigh my current discomfort in the long run, because although I have been doing it for just two weeks, I can already feel an improvement, both in strength and form.
Rob Peters will blog his CrossFit experience over the next three months, keeping a weekly log of how it improves/hinders his running. From October he will also be taking on the "Paleo diet" and nutrition challenge at the gym as he puts the CrossFit way to the ultimate test.

Bless you wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless spirits depart
Still we're deep in each other's hearts
Some people say it's over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better darling
The hollow ring is only last year's echo
Bless you whoever you are
Holding her now, be warm and kind hearted
And remember though love is strange
Now and forever our love will remain

The aim of this research was to determine what attracts students to speech-language pathology (SLP), and the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on two types of "brain drain" in
emigration and career shift. Fifty undergraduate students and 13 recent graduates completed a questionnaire that tapped three main areas, level of student debt, intentions to emigrate, and career intentions. Ninety-seven per cent of respondents were female, with a median age of 25 years. Most SLP students and graduates had high levels of debt on graduation. Debt contributed to levels of worry and the ability to participate in education. However, debt alone did not influence career choice or long-term career planning. Over half of the respondents intended to leave New Zealand within 2 years of graduation, citing salary, travel, and training opportunities as factors. Incentives to remain in the profession included increased salary, more training opportunities, and student debt repayment. SLP students' career decisions were mainly influenced by interest in the profession. The conclusion was that three main factors need to be explored in an effort to increase the likelihood that SLPs remain in New Zealand: salary levels, increased training opportunities, and contributions to reduce student debt.
