Yes, The Network Fabric in IBM PureSystems Is Interoperable With Existing Network Infrastructures
Since the recent introduction of IBM PureSystems with network components developed by System Networking, clients are expressing great interest in the advantages of Expert Integrated Systems. One of their first questions is invariably: "Will IBM networks work with my existing data center and core network infrastructures?"
The answer is a resounding YES. When deploying an IBM PureFlex or PureApplication System, IBM's standards-based approach to system networking ensures interoperability with existing network infrastructures across the edge, aggregation layer and core. Data centers with equipment from Cisco, Juniper and other network providers can benefit immediately – without any fear that IBM is somehow endeavoring to foist a "rip and replace" Trojan Horse strategy on our valued client.
With that said, here are four clear-cut reasons why IBM System Networking delivers clear advantages:
- IBM's Standards-Based Approach – Our mature and battle-tested IBM Networking OS is developed based on a standards-compliant philosophy driven by IBM's leadership role in key international standards bodies, such as the IEEE, IETF and Open Networking Foundation.
- Certified Cisco Interoperability – Our clients in the world's largest enterprise, financial services and cloud operators, know that network topologies implemented using our gear will work flawlessly with Cisco infrastructures. IBM System Networking products have been certified by The Tolly Group to deliver interoperability with Cisco Catalyst and Nexus switches. IBM and Juniper Networks recently collaborated to test the new IBM PureFlex System with Juniper products to build and run a cloud-based data center.
- Administrator-Friendly Operation – A common IBM Networking OS runs on IBM Ethernet products across our IBM PureSystems, BladeCenter, and RackSwitch lines. IBM system and network management tools such as Tivoli work with IBM Networking Element Manager. And, a Cisco-like command line interface is familiar to any Cisco-trained administrator.
- Proven Worldwide – With more than 14 million Ethernet switch ports connecting servers, storage and core networks, IBM System Networking has emerged as one of the industry's foremost, innovative and focused data center networking providers. We estimate that nearly two million IBM switch ports are working with Cisco aggregation and core networks today in the world's largest and most demanding network environments. Beyond the already significant performance, low latency and energy efficiency advantages delivered by IBM System Networking solutions, our clients know they can have a multi-vendor approach to data center networking, if that is what best suits their need.
Bottom line, clients will implement IBM PureSystems to harness the flexibility of a general-purpose system, the elasticity of cloud and the simplicity of an appliance tuned to the workload. However, as they move to fundamentally change the experience and economics of IT, they do not want to rip and replace their existing investment in networking or implement a proprietary fabric architecture that only works with a single vendor's components.
Those are simply the realities of data center networking today. And, that's why IBM has invested in ensuring that Expert Integrated Systems implemented with IBM networking are purpose built for the needs of the modern data center –interoperable, fast, intelligent, virtual and tuned to the task.
In a coming post, I'll drill down into just how to implement an IBM PureSystems network to achieve the greatest performance and latency advantages.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The District of Columbia plans to bring in a law firm to examine a human rights group's report on the police department's handling of sexual assault allegations.
That report, which the police department has rejected as biased and inaccurate, says at least 170 reported sexual assaults went uninvestigated between 2008 and 2011.
Wells has also said he plans to hold a council hearing on the report.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier tells The Washington Post that she's a "bit shocked" she didn't know about Wells's plan but that she welcomes the scrutiny and has more information she plans to release.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 22The Latif Family
Ju-Juanna Latif struggled through a dysfunctional home life, became a high school dropout and a single teen mother. While living in a homeless shelter, Ju-Juanna was taught life skills, took parenting classes and received job training. She went to college, entered a work-study program and landed a job. Two troubled marriages and four kids later (one handicapped) Ju-Juanna continued to push and refused to stop running the race. Her eye was on the prize of home ownership.
Now Ju-Juanna is a proud working mom raising four children living in a home of her own. But that home is not accessible for her wheelchair bound nine-year old son and it is falling apart at the seams. In this episode, the Extreme Team travels to Delaware to give the Latif family a safe and functional home, so that Ju-Juanna and her children can continue to thrive and be all that they can be using her as their example.
The makeover began in the kitchen, where the Latif's custom KraftMaid cabinetry built in cherry wood was stained in Peppercorn accented with Bistro Glass door inserts and Brushed Pewter hardware. Ju-Juanna's bathroom was outfitted with KraftMaid's White Thermofoil cabinets and sleek Aluminum Round Bar drawer pulls. Her son, Antonio's new room was crafted from KraftMaid's Euro-inspired Venicia line of cabinetry. Onyx Gloss was the chosen stain for the Carina door style, which has built-in continuous aluminum pulls.
An in-law suite was also designed with KraftMaid's maple cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Irish Cream Glaze finish was chosen for both rooms as well as Ravenna glass inserts to highlight the cabinet doors. Solid Brass Bronze hardware was used in the kitchen, while Scrolled Glass Round and Oval knobs adorn the doors in the bathroom. Finally, the upstairs bathroom was crafted with dark burgundy Cabernet finished cabinets, completed with Satin Silver pulls.

What is a protected area?
A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values. (IUCN Definition 2008)
Protected areas – national parks, wilderness areas, community conserved areas, nature reserves and so on – are a mainstay of biodiversity conservation, while also contributing to people's livelihoods, particularly at the local level. Protected areas are at the core of efforts towards conserving nature and the services it provides us – food, clean water supply, medicines and protection from the impacts of natural disasters. Their role in helping mitigate and adapt to climate change is also increasingly recognized; it has been estimated that the global network of protected areas stores at least 15% of terrestrial carbon. Helping countries and communities designate and manage systems of protected areas on land and in the oceans, is one of IUCN's main areas of expertise. Together with species conservation, this has been a key focus of attention of IUCN's work and of a vast majority of IUCN Member organizations. Effectively managed systems of protected areas have been recognized as critical instruments in achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Millennium Development Goals.

I wish I would have been shooting them longer! Although a lot of times the actual target on the animal is anatomically incorrect, I think it will be great practice at judging distances.

May 31, 2016
Jackson, Miss.
After resistance from district superintendents, the Mississippi Board of Education is likely to again rework its rating system for high schools and districts.
Last month, the board proposed changes emphasizing high school graduation rates, at federal officials' demand.
But when the board sought public comments, superintendents complained the new system raised required test scores on the state's A-to-F grade system.
State Superintendent Dr. Carey Wright proposes to return to score levels the board approved in January.
However, district superintendents may not get a second wish. The state had promised districts that they could keep 2013 ratings in 2014 and 2015 if grades would otherwise fall during a transition to a new curriculum and new tests. But state officials say federal approval is unlikely for a freeze longer than one year.

Engine Build - How To Build a Budget Street Machine:Written on November 1, 1998 A Low-Buck 360-Powered Duster
Rumpity engines equal big glory, noise, and tire smoke, so that's where we spent the most time and money with this budget buildup. The Duster came with a 318 that was seized thanks to a brutal overheating, and it would have been most practical to replace it with another one of the die-hard little mileage masters. But we're not really into practical, and we wouldn't have felt right if we didn't at least try to make serious power.
The solution was to step up to a 360, spend as little as possible on the short-block, and put our bucks where the cachongas live: compression, heads, and cam. The result was an engine investment of $3,427.65. If that sounds high, remember that some magazines consider $5,000 cheap for a motor, and they don't include all the little stuff such as paint, gasket sauce, dang-it small stuff, and things you break and buy twice. We did. Read and learn.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Instead of searching for a 360 and having it rebuilt, we got a rebuilt short-block from RPM Engines. Even after paying the $110 core charge, the price was $678-significantly cheaper than a rebuild. The engine includes Federal-Mogul bearings, Badger cast pistons, a Dynagear timing set, a Melling cam, Sealed Power rings, and Pioneer brass freeze plugs. Virtually any American V-8 short- or long-block is available from RPM.The first thing we did with the RPM short-block was use our Powerhouse dial indicator and deck bridge to determine the piston deck height so we could calculate the compression ratio. The deck height varied from cylinder to cylinder due to the use of several rod castings-Chrysler wasn't known for killer production tolerances, anyway-but the average was 0.100 in the hole. Combine that with the 11cc dishes in the pistons, 0.041-inch-thick head gaskets, and 75cc chambers, and it's easy to see that a 360's compression can be as hideously low as 7.5:1.Our goal was 9.0:1 compression, so we spoke to the Mopar specialists at Hughes Engines for advice; they ran our combo through their computer to determine mechanical compression ratio versus cam timing to deliver a goal of 165-psi cranking pressure. They milled 0.070 off a set of 596-casting heads we provided to achieve chamber sizes of 51 cc's. While Mopar Performance offers 0.028-inch gaskets to increase compression, the Hughes combo would deliver about 9.0:1 with regular 0.041 gaskets.After pricing cylinder-head rebuilding at local machine shops, we opted to choke-up the extra change to have Hughes perform its Pro Pocket Stage 1 portwork to the heads (seen here in the exhaust port) in addition to the rebuild. The porting makes the heads flow well up to 0.500-inch valve lift-stockers give up at 0.350 lift. Hughes' advice and patience was also invaluable.Hughes also had the heads cleaned, magnafluxed, and shot-blasted, then pressure checked them after porting. The pro valve job included new 2.02/1.625 valves, 11/32-inch bronze guides, new Hughes springs matched to the cam, new retainers and keepers, Viton seals, and a complete balancing of valvespring pressures and valve tip heights. Hughes angle-cut the intake surface to compensate for the 0.070 milling, and the intake ended up fitting perfectly. The heads dented the budget, but we were happy.This is what we look like when we're voiding the warrantee on our new RPM engine by swapping in a performance camshaft. The 'stick is a Hughes Engines grind that takes advantage of the greater rate of lift per degree of cam rotation allowed by Mopar's large- diameter lifter foot. The hydraulic grind is a Hughes HE2430AL spec'd at 0.504/0.515 lift with 1.5:1 rockers. Our stock rockers proved to have 1.38:1-1.43:1 ratios, so true lift was closer to 0.480/0.490. Duration at 0.050 tappet lift is 224/230, and the lobe-separation angle is 110 degrees. We didn't actually coat the cam with lube until final assembly.We used our Powerhouse dial indicator, dial-indicator stand, and Pro Crank Socket with a Lunati degree wheel to check the cam and found it about 3 degrees advanced when using the RPM-supplied timing set. We also plotted the cam-lift curve, then checked valve-to-piston clearance at every point in the curve.To solve the cam-degreeing problem we used Mopar Performance's P4286500 offset cam-key package. We installed the keys such that the cam was rotated counter-clockwise in relation to the cam gear, thereby retarding it. We had to redegree the cam twice before we found the key that set it at Hughes' recommended specs.
Here's the bigger problem: The valve-to-piston clearance was too tight thanks to the head milling. The intake valves got as close as 0.013 to the piston at 10-25 degrees ATDC, and the exhaust was 0.020 at 10-25 degrees BTDC. Hughes recommended 0.080 on the intake and 0.100 for the exhaust in this application. Here's how we fixed it: First we marked the pistons with a Marks-A-Lot, then installed the heads with checking springs on them. We brought each piston to TDC, then pressed the valves into light contact with the pistons to mark them. Once the head was removed, we drew the shape of the valves on the pistons, then used a carbide bit to hand-cut valve reliefs. During grinding, the engine was sealed in a plastic garbage bag with a duct-taped hole only around the area to be ground.Here's what a finished piston looks like. We ground the reliefs deep enough that we could switch to 1.6:1 rockers and still have clearance. Even so, the nastiest cut was only 0.075 deeper than the top of the piston. That's less than 5/64 inch, if it makes you feel any better in those terms. It was scary work, and it took a bunch of time and patience to double-check every valve, but it was worth it.The next issue was pushrod length. With milled heads and the smaller base circle of the bigger cam, you always need to check it. We bolted on the rocker shafts and used a wire feeler gauge to check the preload of a pair of lifters resting on the base circle (that means both valves are closed) and found it to be about 0.040, which is OK. If the lifter preload is too much, you can cut thin spacers out of sheet aluminum or steel to put under the rocker shafts, or get custom pushrods. Our rocker geometry was pretty bad, but we didn't do anything about it.It can wait until after you've prelubed the engine, but don't forget to install the distributor/oil-pump driveshaft. There's a brass bushing in the block for the 'shaft, and it pays to make sure it doesn't need to be reamed to fit before the engine is assembled. Before final assembly we brought the number-one cylinder to TDC on the power stroke to simplify initial timing settings, then lubed the cam and didn't rotate the engine until it was ready to fire up.We used the intake that was on the nuked 318 that came with the car--an old Edelbrock Torker 340 with ports way too big for the 318. It matches the 360 ports, and while a dual-plane is not preferred by Edelbrock for street use, we figured it would be acceptable with the cam, manual trans, 4.30:1 gears, and light vehicle weight.For final assembly we used a complete ARP engine and accessory fasteners kit. It's a bit of a luxury for a budget buildup, but it pays for itself by eliminating the hassle of trying to find all the right bolts. We opted for the black-oxide six-point bolts-much preferred to the stainless 12-points, in our opinion.

Over the weekend, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey reached a milestone when it joined the rest of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in earning $300 million in domestic box office — and neared ever closer to $1 billion worldwide in the process. Obviously, the first of director Peter Jackson's three-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel has done well financially, but audiences and critics alike were polarized by the results of the movie, with the possible exception of the movie's dazzling visual effects, which were nominated for an Academy Award.
Likely in anticipation of this Sunday's Oscar telecast, WETA Digital has released a visual effects reel revealing the work that went into the movie. Highlights from the video include Ian McKellen basically act alone in a green room as Gandalf and the first meeting between Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and Gollum (Andy Serkis, in his motion-capture outfit) prior to its digital transformation.

Hello everyone,
I placed a bug RFE for this, but was also hoping to "stir up" some interest here in these forums.
Basic overview/premise:
Since Zimbra has made a strategic partnership with ProofPoint to provide Encryption services, I believe it would be in VMWare/Zimbra's interest to provide direct integration with ProofPoint's encryption software. That is, work with ProofPoint to directly integrate their product into the server install, much like with A&D. This provides for a quick, out-of-the-box solution without the need to setup additional software or appliances, it would simply work on the same box that Zimbra runs on. Furthermore, I could also see the benefit of integrating the management side of ProofPoint's encryption software with Zimbra. This will then provide for a single point of manageability.
Bottom line: Integration of Zimbra + ProofPoint will make for much easier management and less topological outlay. For those with multiple servers in a cluster, the encryption could be installed on all devices with an MTA and still be beneficial.
Take a look at: Bug 65987 – Direct Integration of ProofPoint Encryption (Server-Side) for more information and to cast your vote.
Thanks for your consideration of this RFE.

Self-assessment of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations: are they on track?
21 August 2007 | News story
Though Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and their members face conflicting pressures, if they do not take steps now to better manage fish stocks, these resources will continue to decline to the detriment of the ocean's wellbeing, food security and human health. IUCN believes that all RFMOs should conduct self-assessments this year or next and include a review of how each RFMO accepts scientific advice and incorporates that advice into its conservation and management measures.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are reportedly engaged.
Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian in a private event at AT&T Park in San Francisco, California, according to eonline.com.
The rapper reportedly proposed with a 15-carat diamond ring by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.
Kanye West reportedly rented out the stadium for the evening. He invited friends and family to attend the event, as per eonline.com. West also hired a 50-piece orchestra to perform several selections, including Lana Del Rey's "Young & Beautiful" and Keri Hilson's "Knock You Down," a track that also features Ne-Yo and Kanye West.
In February, Kim Kardashian spoke about potentially being married to Kanye West.
"[Marriage] is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don't have this sense of urgency about it," Kardashian said to Cosmopolitan. "I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa. It just feels like this is it for me."
In August, Kanye West addressed his affection for Kardashian on her mother Kris Jenner's talk show, "Kris."
"I'm trying to remember if the first time we met was her being in the studio when she was Brandy's assistant," Kanye West said. "I think she brought us in something to drink that you can't drink on daytime TV, but we were in the studio so it was okay. Or it might have been when I was doing Brandy's video. I remember asking my manager, 'Who is that girl?'"
During that interview, Kanye West also defended his relationship with Kardashian.
"I could have people saying, 'This is going to damage your credibility as an artist or a designer,'" West said. "And I say, 'I don't care. I love this woman.' Or someone could say, 'When the paparazzi surround you, everyone knows you don't like the paparazzi. Why would you be with this person?' And I'm saying, 'I'm being with this person because I love this person and she's worth it to me."
West and Kardashian have a daughter together, North West, who was born June 15.
An image taken at the event by Kris Jenner can be viewed below, via eonline.com.

UPDATE: A video of Kanye West proposing to Kim Kardashian can be found below, via Huffington Post.
(October 23)
UPDATE #2: It appears the proposal is set to air on E!'s Keeping Up With The Kardashians. A teaser featuring the episode clips appears below via E!
(December 2)
UPDATE #3: Kanye West's proposal to Kim Kardashian was aired on E! as part of the network's Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality television series.
"I can't believe I'm engaged," Kardashian says on the show. Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, also spoke about the engagement event. "It's an experience I will never forget," Jenner says on the show.
"Kim, I couldn't be happier for you and Kanye, I'm so obsessed with you," Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian says in a speech to the couple. "I love you and I can't wait to have you legally as a brother, but I still consider you as a brother now. I just cannot wait for this wedding. I'm so excited. And let's have more kids, more babies."

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Relationships: Glenn and Eugene? Josh McDermitt Explains
The Walking Dead may be a show centered around a specific group of people just trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, but there's still time for our characters to have romantic relationships with one another, and boy do they ever! We've got Gleggie, which is the name for Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) and Maggie Greene's (Lauren Cohan) totally legit union, but we also have 'ships like Richonne or Caryl, which advocate for pairings that haven't happened on screen yet and may never even get to that point. Richonne is for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) fans, while Caryl supporters are those that want to see Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) enter into a relationship.
We thought we heard of just about every 'ship combo possible at this point, but apparently there's one duo we've overlooked — Glugene! As you may have guessed, Glugene 'shippers want to see Glenn and Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) paired off. In fact, Glugene fans are so powerful that Josh and Steven have already heard of them! In an interview with Too Fab Josh explains, "I'm learning this new thing called 'shipping… it's just people writing fan-fiction and trying to pair different people up into relationships. There's one relationship pairing on Instagram called Glugene and it's between Glenn and Eugene."
But if you thought Josh would be against the idea of a Glenn/Eugene union, then we suggest you think again! "There's all these photos that fans have made of Glenn and Eugene in this loving relationship and I'm just dying. I texted Steven Yeun who plays Glenn and I said 'Hey man, I'm going to pitch this storyline.' He's like 'I'm in, let's do it!'"
Something tells us comic book creator Robert Kirkman and company have other plans (and Glenn also seems pretty happy with Maggie these days) but you never know.
Aside from Glenn, is there anyone Josh would like to pair his character off with? "Sonequa, who plays, Sasha, she's beautiful," the newbie noted. "I think the more time Eugene spends with her the more he might start making a move over there. That might be fun." And 'shippers, Josh is one step ahead of you. He's already dubbed Sasha and Eugene, "Sashgene".
We kind of like Eugene as a doofy singleton and we're interested to see if things escalate with Sasha and Bob Stookey (Larry Gilliard Jr.), but what are your thoughts? Would you like to see Eugene enter into a relationship with another character? Vote below!
The Walking Dead Season 5 premieres in October 2014 on AMC.

Dear all,
I have a little confused in setup LDAP Replica for my zimbra. In multi-install document, i see that "For replica LDAP servers the status is changed to Disable" (in installation progress of LDAP configuration submenu). However, in the guide of LDAP replica installation, it only instructs to change "Create Domain:" to No which not set the Status of LDAP to Disable. (Zimbra doc 5).
I'm on ZCS 5.0.5. May be, there are some changes in version 4 and version 5 which not updated in Zimbra doc 5 yet.
Please help me to do the problem clearly.

Nice job. looking forward to seeing more maps and ideas posted.
'llo folks. Thought I would post the last couple of maps I've been working on for some C&C. The fantasy game I've been running for the last three years is finally drawing to a close, and I'm toying with the idea of running a post apocalyptic themed game next, for a change of pace. Still in the planning stages at the moment, so I thought I'd start with a general overland area map and a more detailed map of the PC start area I have in mind before I get cracking on all that writing that needs to be done. Fun now, work later.
The overland map is meant to be a bit sparse, if I use it, it'll be as a handout for the PCs to make notations and mark points of interest outside of the major pre-labeled settlements and landmarks.
I think I may have gotten a little carried away on the scrub grass in the Jakob's Cross map, but I did have an awfully good time drawing that giant fiberglass peach wrapped in christmas lights mounted on the roof of the local brothel.
Thanks for taking the time to look.
Nice job. looking forward to seeing more maps and ideas posted.
Looking good so far. Not a big fan of the font, doesn't feel 'post-apocalyptic-y'.

Yep. Loves me some P-A and those are nice maps indeed. Agree with SG about the font though. If you're using CS4 as your info indicates I think you'll have access to a font that I believe is called "AR Decode"...it's one of the ones at the top of the font list if that's not the name. I think that one makes a nice P-A font. barring that, there are quite a lot of "grunge" fonts out there on the free font sites that would do nicely.
Would love to hear more about your campaign when you work it up. I'm getting ready to run the old Gamma World 1st edition module Famine in Far-Go on the 10th (here's a map I remade). We're also going to try out the new "D&D" Gamma World - it's light and fluffy but it does sort of maintain that old-school gonzo feel that the first edition had. I personally like a grittier feel to my P-A...we're talking "The Road" and "The Day After" and "Threads" here, but not everyone has the stomach for that so I settle!
Good luck with it!
Very nice maps. I wish I could make a mountain like that but so far in Gimp it seems to elude me.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
I've never played the previous editions of Gamma World, but I picked up the last boxed set Wizards put out a few months ago. My group had a good time with it, but the system didn't really seem right for a longer-term campaign. It's fun, but I agree with you - looking for something a bit darker for a longer term campaign. d20 Darwin's World seems like a good fit, rules-wise, and I'm busy concocting a world. Trying out an Obsidian Portal wiki to help me with the world-building. I'll put a link up once I get it a bit more fleshed out, for anyone interested in a wall o' text.
And yeah, I can see the font complaint. I think the one I was using, Blackadder, has more of a 'Western' vibe, than I was going for anyhow. I was trying to get away from my personal standby for fantasy mapping, Caslon Antique. I love that font, but that is probably just due to the nostalgia connection of it being all over everything in the Heroquest board game I had when I was a kid. Found one called Postnuclear, appropriately enough. I like it a bit better. Easier to read at any rate. Trimmed out some of the excessive labeling, and then compulsively added some more in different areas.
Did some more tinkering, bearing in mind that the intent of making these maps was to include them in a batch of handouts for the group. Decided to go a different route, focusing more on the intended ambiance than overwrought PS pseudo-realism. Shooting for gritty here, not cartoony. With that in mind, I tried to make it look more like a battered old daguerreotype photograph with typed and handwritten notations. Taken from a dirigible, of course. I think the intended feel comes across much better.
If the map is actually a photo with notations, I'd either get rid of the grid in the background, or make it an overlay (hand drawn, maybe?). Or maybe just hint at a grid with crosses in four corners as if it were a military recon picture (check images of the moon landing to see what I mean with "crosses").
Oh, and I'd hint at perspective with the help of shadows, and then make it greyscale (sepia colour in old photos is a result of the materials used to capture light, and not a result of aging).
Gave the overland map a similar treatment, though less sepia, and more metallic-looking. Not sure which I like better. I see what you mean with the implied grid corner crosses from military recon photos, and I like it. So let it be written, so let it be done. Only a little more fiddling to do with these maps, then I'll move on to a few new ones. Corner crosses, color adjustments, and misc tinkering, and I think I'll leave them alone.
I really like where you're going with these. They'll be great handouts!

Finding quality at the end of life
Healthcare | Two victims of ALS discuss outlasting the medical odds, and how those odds may change under government-based care
"Finding quality at the end of life" Continued...
Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is encouraging NFL football fans to donate between $10 and $50 to the ALS Association for each touchdown drive he directs this fall. "Trent's Touchdowns for ALS" is a tribute to his high-school football coach, Charlie Wedemeyer.
Outlasting the odds that see 80 percent of patients die within five years, Wedemeyer has survived 33 years since his diagnosis with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and named for the New York Yankee star who retired from baseball in 1939 after his ALS diagnosis.
Marked initially by muscle weakness or stiffness, ALS is followed by progressive paralysis of limbs, speech, and other functions. Which is why Wedemeyer is such an inspiration to those who know him, including motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, who is urging the California resident to update his 1993 autobiography.
Kidney failure that forced Wedemeyer into dialysis has curtailed his once-frequent travels the past 18 months. Still, in July he attended a high-school all-star football game bearing his name and an ALS charity walk in mid-September.
Most afternoons find the Hawaiian native on the sidelines at Los Gatos High School, where he tutors freshmen and sophomores. Though hooked up to a ventilator and coaching from a wheelchair, Wedemeyer whispers instructions that are relayed to players by Lucy, his wife of 42 years (the same method they use during speaking engagements).
Though not a household name outside of football, Wedemeyer has gathered a flock of sports, community, and other awards, including the President's Trophy for Disabled American of the Year in 1992. His story has been featured in films broadcast on CBS and PBS.
"It has been remarkable," Lucy said of her husband's continuing impact on the public. "We still hear from the actor who portrayed him, his former players and people all over the world. It's encouraging to know you can still be an inspiration."
Despite their cheerful outlook, one issue has dominated the Wedemeyers' thoughts lately: the possibility of a national healthcare plan.
Just as grassroots objections changed key Republican Sen. Charles Grassley's mind about reform efforts, President Barack Obama faces stiff challenges persuading important sections of middle America.
Despite guarantees from Washington such as no lifetime caps on coverage or dropped coverage for the seriously ill-the Wedemeyers are skeptical. They worry about future care for a 63-year-old man who may not fit Uncle Sam's definition of "quality life."
"This seems to be coming down the pike," Lucy said. "Sadly, it's only through the news or someone making a public outcry that things happen."
What concerns the Wedemeyers most is the prospect of a public insurance option. Their son-in-law thinks that could eventually eliminate private insurance and put bureaucrats in charge of deciding who receives treatment. Keith Andry, a board member of the Charlie Wedemeyer Family Foundation, said that if the government requires every employer to offer insurance and also offers a public plan, employers will move in that direction to save money. That would force Wedemeyer into a program Andry believes will control costs via rationing.
Adding more than 40 million people to the system is also a prescription for rationing, said Andry, a real estate broker.
"If Charlie were diagnosed with (ALS) and government insurance was in place 30 years ago, I truly believe he would not be alive today," Andry said. "I don't believe they would have sustained the service if he was in a government plan because they just couldn't afford to keep him going."
Granted, it has been an expensive undertaking. Andry said insurance has paid out millions over the past three decades on Wedemeyer's behalf, although that is the way insurance works: The healthy pay for the unhealthy through their premiums.
Whether reducing access to treatment or other measures, he doubts Uncle Sam would guarantee the care his father-in-law has received thus far. Andry also wonders what would happen if a fiscally challenged government plan had to choose between a 16-year-old with cancer and an ALS patient in his 60s.
"Charlie has done more traveling and given more motivation to people's lives in the last 33 years than his first 30 healthy years," Andry said. "Who judges what quality of life is?
"In his case, I don't see the government looking to that as a quality-of-life issue. They (wouldn't) look at the intangibles-the relationships and the inspiration he has given to so many people around the world. I think that's scary."
Charlie Wedemeyer isn't the most famous person with ALS. That title belongs to British scientist Stephen Hawking, who has survived for 45 years, although seriously ill after being hospitalized last April.
Yet, with an estimated 30,000 Americans living with the disease and approximately 5,600 new cases diagnosed each year, the fate of ALS patients touches thousands of average citizens the public rarely hears about.
They include people like Terry Perdue of Huntington, W.Va., a former city council member who remains active 14 years after his diagnosis.
Though his arms are pencil thin, shoulders bony and fingers are twisting up, Perdue is animated, glad to be alive and looking forward to teaching Sunday school as long as he remains mobile.
Still interested in politics, Perdue has followed the news about healthcare and wonders how Congress expects to add millions of people to the insurance system without affecting the delivery of care.
"The people who will suffer will be the elderly," said the youthful-looking Perdue, who turns 70 on Oct. 6. "I believe in my heart that's the way it's going to be. You can't pay for it the way they're proposing. My grandchildren are going to pay through the nose for this."
The prospect of rationed care isn't his only misgiving. After listening to a radio broadcast of a recent town hall meeting, Perdue felt the discussion danced around the specific meaning of end-of-life issues.
Though the intent may be to help people make good decisions about their twilight years, he asked who will decide if open heart surgery or radiation is advisable for an elderly person.
"I think most people in the country agree we need to redo our medical system," Perdue said. "What consumers seem to be scared of is the way they're going about it. Why do we need to make all these radical changes in two months? The issue to me is how are we going to administer that? How are we going to pay for that?"
Unlike Wedemeyer, the costs of his treatment haven't been astronomical. After initial screenings and other tests ran about $10,000, he said the rest has been regular check-ups and prescriptions.
Ironically, in 2007 Medicare approved Perdue for a year of hospice care at $4,000 a month, but after that year dropped him from the program.
Perdue takes six medications, but only one is related to ALS. Riluzole is the first drug to alter its course by fighting a salty acid in the blood that kills motor neurons. It is also the most expensive of his prescriptions, with his monthly share costing $300.
Despite faltering health of late, he calls life "rewarding" and said the principle of letting God decide when life ends must prevail in any healthcare proposal.
"It's tough living this way, but God's got a purpose for it," Perdue said. "There was a guy who started coming to our church and I got him to come to my Sunday school class. About a year ago he accepted Christ; he's dead now. Maybe that was God's whole purpose for me (living this long)-that guy coming to Christ."
Ironically, doctors are much less comfortable making those decisions than public policy makers, said one ethicist.
Ben Mitchell, a professor of moral philosophy at Tennessee's Union University, said even doctors who favor assisted suicide want the patient and family deciding, not physicians.
"I think we should worry about it," Mitchell said of one proposal to fund end-of-life counseling. "At the other end of life, we've undergone a social revolution to preserve the relationship between the doctor and his patient with abortion. Now, we want the government to enter that relationship . . . I find that very schizophrenic."
Aside from the political aspects of healthcare, Mitchell and another ethicist say the situation raises other concerns for the church. Mitchell sees Christians as having dual obligations. One is as citizens who should inform their elected officials of their views, but equally important is their obligation to serve the less fortunate. "We need to be much more engaged in palliative care, hospice work, and be thinking again . . . about the role of charity hospitals and charity hospices in caring for those who may lose their healthcare insurance toward the end of life," Mitchell said.
Christians should embrace consistency, standing up for the right to life in the womb and in the twilight years, the professor said. He also calls for resisting the informal coercion that can arise if public officials or others decide that someone diagnosed with a disease like ALS ought to have limits placed on care.
People without insurance and no access to doctors or medications already face rationing, said David Gushee, a professor of ethics at Mercer University. He called the congressional proposals an attempt to reverse that. "Fourteen thousand people lose their health insurance every day because of job loss, job changes, preexisting conditions, and all of that," Gushee said. "This is a problem that has needed to be addressed for generations.
"So you don't want to go too slow and you don't want to go too fast; you want to get it right. I think trying to get a bill passed this summer was too fast. I'm hoping, with some careful deliberation the next two months, we can get a good bill passed and signed."
He said Christians should try to be consistent in standing up for certain values, such as for the right to life, and using discernment in making judgments based on hearsay or incomplete information.
"Have principles in mind, keep them clearly in view, and help people understand the moral reasons behind these principles," Gushee said. "Then be a constructive and reasonable voice wherever we can. I think that's the posture we should have."
Despite living with a disease that has no cure, Perdue feels that Christians also should stand against taking end-of-life decisions into their own-or the state's-hands: "Life's a struggle but it's still rewarding," he said. "You have to stay involved. God will do what He wants to do with me, and then kick me to heaven."

Madden challenges Hudes in ToH District 6
1 2 Next page >
In a race for the Town of Hempstead's 6th Councilmatic District, which incorporates East Meadow, Levittown, Plainedge, Salisbury and portions of Bethpage, North Bellmore, North Merrick, Seaford and Wantagh, Republican incumbent of 13 years Gary Hudes faces challenger Diane Madden.
Hudes: We must continue to maintain the highest Wall Street ratings on Long Island and continue to control governmental costs. These savings have resulted in the reduction of Town taxes for the past few years. We continue to provide local services by asking our town employees to do more and, in turn, produce that much more for our residents. The Town of Hempstead receives only approximately 9 percent of property taxes and yet provides the vast majority of local neighborhood services to its residents.
Madden: The biggest issues in the 6th Councilmatic District are taxes. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray has raised real property taxes 44.9 percent since 2003. Other issues are vacant stores, unemployment, lack of affordable housing and jobs, and disastrous roads.
Q: If reelected, what are your biggest goals and objectives for another term?
Hudes: I have been a tireless worker for our residents, having committed an incredible amount of my time to solving constituents concerns that impact their lives. I have written numerous pieces of legislation to make our quality of life far better in our community. I will continue to be their most responsive representative, personally addressing any issues on a personal level, giving each resident the benefit of my extensive business, community and problem solving experience. I am proud of my record and reputation for great constituent services.
Q: As challenger, what skills can you bring to the position, and what would be your primary goals and objectives for the upcoming term?

Written By Susan Davis, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - Congressional Republicans showed no signs Sunday of
relenting on their efforts to dismantle President Obama's health care
law on a stopgap funding bill, setting the course for the first
government shutdown in 17 years starting Tuesday.
"The American
people overwhelmingly reject Obamacare. They understand it's not
working. The only people who aren't listening to the argument are the
career politicians in Washington," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on NBC's
Meet the Press.
Cruz, who led a 21-hour filibuster-style
speech against the health care law, has been a leading GOP advocate for
using the stopgap measure as leverage to extract concessions on the
Affordable Care Act, which begins open enrollment for the health care
insurance exchanges on Oct. 1.
Cruz joined a chorus of GOP lawmakers on Sunday talk shows who sought
to spread the political blame to President Obama and Senate Democrats
if a shutdown occurs. "(Democrats) are the ones playing games. They need
to act. They're the ones that are truly threatening a government
shutdown by not being here and acting," said Rep. Cathy McMorris
Rodgers, R-Wash., the fourth-ranking House Republican.
The Senate
voted Friday to approve a stopgap funding measure through Nov. 15 after a
week of debate. On Saturday, the House made a second attempt at
dismantling the health law after their first attempt to remove spending
for it in the funding bill failed.
The House approved 231-192 an
amendment to delay implementation for one year, as well as an amendment
to repeal a 2.3% tax on medical devices enacted to help pay for the law.
The medical device tax is expected to raise $29 billion over 10 years.
The House also voted to extend the length of the stopgap bill to Dec.
15, and approved a separate bill to make sure U.S. troops continue to
get paid in the event of a shutdown.
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, released a statement calling on the Senate to come in to session
on Sunday to act on the House-passed amendments. "If the Senate stalls
until Monday afternoon instead of working today, it would be an act of
breathtaking arrogance by the Senate Democratic leadership." The Senate
is scheduled to return Monday at 2 p.m. ET.
Many parts of the 2010 health care law have already been implemented,
including discounts for prescription medications and the provision
allowing children under 26 to remain on their parents' health insurance
policies. On Tuesday, the state websites where uninsured Americans can
shop for and buy health insurance will open. Those without health
insurance will be required to buy it or pay a penalty; those whose
income is up to 400% of the poverty level will receive a federal subsidy
to help pay for the insurance.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., said the House's action was "pointless" and White House
spokesman Jay Carney said it was "reckless and irresponsible" because
Obama has already said he will veto any attempt to delay or defund the
law in the unlikely event it reaches his desk.
Senate rules allow
Reid to knock down the two amendments with one motion to table, which
needs only 51 votes and cannot be blocked by Republicans.
Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Sunday that Republicans
were readying a third attempt on Monday if Reid rejects the amendments,
as expected.
"I think the House will get back together in enough
time, send another provision not to shut the government down, but to
fund it, and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to
look at again," McCarthy told Fox News Sunday.
House Republicans' options on the eve of a shutdown are limited. The
House could advance a stopgap bill that keeps the government open for a
week to keep the health care fight going and the government funded.
Republicans could also attempt to advance another provision affecting
the health care law, but there is no sign it would meet a different fate
in the Senate.
Boehner could put the "clean" Senate-passed funding bill on the House
floor where it would likely pass on the support of House Democrats with
some Republicans, but he is under political pressure from conservative
lawmakers and allied outside groups to hold the line.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., told CBS's Face the Nation that the Senate will reject the House's latest effort and that he expects a shutdown will occur. "I'm afraid I do," he said.
said Democrats were amendable to finding ways to reform the health care
law, and acknowledged that many Democrats support proposals such as the
medical device tax repeal, but he said the debate should happen
independent of a bill to keep the government running.
"I fully
support that (debate), but let's sit down in a bipartisan and calm way,
not with the prospect of shutting down the government or shutting down
the economy," he said.

Good Product
Nice looking seatpost. Not too heavy for aluminum. Great seat clamp design. I have this on my hard tail XC bike. I've thought about replacing it with carbon a few times but I end up keeping it because it does look good on the bike.
3T Palladio Pro Seat post
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I real like the design and function of this seat post. It is really easy to set up and looks very nice. I like that once you set up the angle of your seat you can then move it for and aft, with out having to worry that the angle changed. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROUND RAIL ON YOUR SEAT. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH OVAL RAILS. They make a conversation kit for oval rails, but good luck getting one. Good seat post, nice design and just plain neat.
Awesome design
The Palladio Pro is an amazing addition to my bike set up. The design is awesome and its slightly lighter than the cheap carbon seatpost I originally had on my bike. It is made completely out of aluminum so the tech specs on this website need to be adjusted. The new clamp design never altered my saddle angle during even the toughest of rides and I doubt that it would be possible. I have full confidence it its durability. The only problem I had was that the white paint can chip off fairly easy. Mine slipped into the frame because of a cheap seat clamp and scratched away at the paint. The print is still readable however. I vouch for this seatpost if you don't mind having carbon fiber as your saddle's buddy.

Using Clay Lick Occupancy to Evaluate Reserve Design in Tambopata 2009
The investigator estimated the number of white-lipped peccaries, collared peccaries, lowland tapirs and red brocket deer living on a nature preserve and in the surrounding buffer areas in Peru to determine how habitat management impacted the distribution of these species.
Collared peccaries and red brocket deer were determined to have higher occurrences in the nature preserve and buffer areas than in the native community, where they are often harvested as food, but no difference was observed between the nature preserve and the buffer areas.
The investigator concluded that a passive style of protection might be adequate for the preservation of these species because no difference was observed between the actively protected nature preserve and the passively protected buffer areas.
The investigator also cautioned that more active preservation areas would likely be required in the future as the Amazon rainforest continues to be developed.

Facebook has become the place where many people spend most of their online time. And it's way more personal place than say, MySpace. Because of this I think it really does matter how often fan pages post updates. If it's too often it can get annoying. But how often should you update? In the spirit of democracy we asked fans of Iron Sky how often they'd like to see updates on from us.
167 people responded. Turns out almost half thought once a week is good. While 18% would like daily updates only 5% would like to see several updates a day.
That said, social media is not about doing it by numbers. That means we'll still post updates when we've got something to say, even if it's more often than once a week. But now I can stop worrying if Facebook should be updated as ofen as Twitter – it shouldn't.
On a larger scale, this is just a small poll and you shouldn't read too much into it. But what I think is safe to say is that you shouldn't syndicate all your Twitter updates to your Facebook page. The two services are used differently and need to be treated as such.

< Solar Cooking:This week's featured article

I (Mike Pool) wanted to make a large solar cooker. I wanted it versatile enough to cook steaks or brown the crust on a large pizza. US$574 and 67 truck mirrors later, I had a solar fryer with 4 square meters of sunlight directed to the bottom of the grill. I cook pizzas on the fryer in a 19 inch aluminum motorcycle wheel ($40) with a special low iron glass cover ($200).
I started with an anodized aluminum griddle that was on a military surplus website. The griddle weighs 52 pounds and is 23 inches deep and 43 inches wide. I painted the bottom of the grill black bbq paint. Even though the anodized grill is dark, black paint is better still for absorbing heat. The grill, at a comfortable working height of about 36 inches, is supported by an adjustable stand that is normally used for an electric piano or keyboard. The truck mirrors are 15.5 inches by 6 inches, and mounted onto four frames.
I start cooking around 30 minutes before solar noon. With the sun at an azimuth of 178.46 degrees, and an elevation of 59.16 degrees and an ambient temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, the grill reached a temperature of 174.5 degrees Celsius (346.1 degrees Fahrenheit). This was enough to cook a 16 inch pizza in about 30 minutes.

Gainesville, FL (Sports Network) - Florida Gators forward Will Yeguete is
slated to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Friday.
It's the second straight year the Gators will have to play without Yeguete,
but this time around, he is expected to return for the postseason.
He will likely be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks following the procedure, whereas last
year he was lost for the remainder of the season after breaking his left foot
against Auburn on Feb. 21.
Yeguete is the team's second-leading rebounder this season at 6.3 per game. He
has averaged 6.0 points while starting 10 of the Gators' 21 contests.

IUCN has been working for some time for the protection of sacred natural sites, through its Secretariat offices and its Task Force on Cultural and Spiritual Values of Protected Areas (CSVPA), which is part of the World Commission on Protected Areas.
Sacred natural sites (SNS) are natural areas of special spiritual significance to peoples and communities. They include natural areas recognized as sacred by indigenous and traditional peoples, as well as natural areas recognized by institutionalized religions or faiths as places for worship and remembrance.
Many sacred sites have survived for hundreds of years and act as important biodiversity reservoirs. However, their contribution to conservation has been largely overlooked and undervalued by state and conservation agencies, policies and laws. Many sacred natural sites are areas of great importance for the conservation of biodiversity. In fact, very often the reasons for protecting the spiritual connections between people and the earth, and for conserving biodiversity in their lands, are inseparable.
There are basically two types of problems regarding SNS: (i) many face threats from outside and lack protection and support; (ii) others are within official protected areas, and communities have lost rights on them
