I was just listening to Gabby Davis do a great job explaining all things Sametime on the "This Week in Lotus" podcast, when the question was asked... "What is an IFR / Interim Feature Release?". This has come up in a couple of different venues, so I thought I'd explain. And no, we don't just sit around thinking up new acronyms to confuse all of you. :-)
As you can imagine, an organization the size of IBM Software Group has a handful of rules about what can go in a given release. New functionality can go into "major" releases (ie: 8.5.2) but not into "minor" ones, fix packs or the like. Major releases also have very specific, intentionally onerous and time consuming testing requirements. By calling it 8.5.3, we wouldn't have been able to ship until next year.
The IFR mechanism, while not commonly used by ICS, is regularly employed in other Software Group divisions. Through it, we could deliver new capabilities as a bolt-on to the existing release and limit our testing to the just new components. While a mouthful to say, 8.5.2 IFR 1 probably shaved 6 months off our ship date. I'm oversimplifying and IFR's are intentionally difficult to get approved... but we thought there was some really good functionality here and we wanted to get it to you as quickly as possible.
Hopefully, that helps. Enjoy!

Where's that Broom…
A sweep…in Detroit…against the Tigers…to open the 2008 season…
Yup, the Royals are off to a perfect 3-0 start after wrapping up the series finale with a 4-1 win over the Tigers. Here's the box score…enjoy!
HOME OPENER HIGHLIGHTS: With a successful road trip going on now, it's hard to wish the guys home too soon, but we can't wait! We are thrilled with the April 8 home opener lineup we announced Wednesday afternoon. Here's a rundown of some of what you can expect…
CROWNVISION DEBUT: Get ready to be larger than life when our in-stadium cameras get a shot of you in the ballpark! The home opener is the debut of CrownVision – that 84 feet by 105 feet, high definition video board you keep hearing about! You know, that one that is the largest HD videoboard in the world!
BLUE & GOLD FIRST PITCH: Giving a shout out to both sides of the border, we are hosting a gridiron Ceremonial First Pitch to recognize the success of two area college football programs! Mizzou head football coach Gary Pinkel, who is busy plugging away with Spring Practice, will deliver a special video message to fans before KU's head football coach Mark Mangino tosses out the first pitch.
BUCK O'NEIL LEGACY SEAT: The "Buck Seat" program is back and getting off to a great start in 2008 with Royals Senior Advisor to GM Dayton Moore, 2008 Royals Hall of Fame inductee and one of the most respected guys in baseball, Art Stewart, sitting in "Buck's Seat" for the home opener. The ironic thing with Art sitting in Buck's seat, he's actually moving back a row to accept the honor. As many of you know, Art always sits with his radar gun behind home plate in the first row…Buck's seat is in the row behind him! Regardless, Art is thrilled to have the honor and we are thrilled to recognize his dedication to the organization and Kansas City!
NATIONAL ANTHEM GOES COUNTRY: Country music sensation Emerson Drive will be here to perform the National Anthem. The high-energy band, which hit the Country music scene with hits such as the Grammy-nominated "Moments" and "I Should be Sleeping," recently watched their album COUNTRIFIED climb the Country-music charts.
A TRIBUTE TO THE RED, WHITE & BLUE: America's colors will be presented by the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department and the Kansas City, Mo., Fire Department. The men and women of Whiteman Air Force Base will also coordinate an A-10 flyover before the Royals take over the field for the first time this season!
Gates open at 1 p.m. and you should try and make sure you are in your seats by 2:30 p.m. so you don't miss a moment!

Where's the crown on the scoreboard?
Will it be attached before Monday, or do we have to wait for next year for the scoreboard to be "crowned"?
Crown or no crown,
I can't wait for opening day!
Go Royals!

De Facto "re-regulation" will hurt port truckers
December 28, 2010
In order to prevent an unworkable patchwork of local and state laws that impede the efficient movement of goods in interstate commerce, The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), are asking that new "green" registries be prohibited.
They rightly point out that over the past few years, port authorities are requiring interstate motor carriers to affix compliance decals, RFID tags (radio-frequency identification), or participate in mandatory registries as part of an environmental effort to reduce emissions.
Failure to comply with the registries means denial of a motor carrier's ability to offer service in the marketplace and potential fines.
In my state of California, the Air Resources Board has also been conducting such a registry since 2007.
Petitioners argue that this practice violates Section 209(c) of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAAA) resulting in a regulatory regime that affects the price, route, or service offered by motor carriers.
"Registries and their required identification stickers are essentially a de facto re-regulation of interstate commerce," said OOIDA President Jim Johnston. "These illegal practices should not be carried out under the guise of compliance with environmental regulations."

Hit the hatchery at Hoodsport today from high tide @ 6:15 or so to around 10:00. SLOW that might not even be accurate how about DEAD or just plain NOTHING. 15 people fishing plus five boats following the dropping tide and not one single fish or hookup. The gentleman working the hatchery said they brought in 100 Pinks the night before and have a handful of Kings so far total.
There was a nice big school in Finch Creek. Next chance will be to try another evening session after work. FYI, if I read the info on the hatchery wall right they net on Tuesday and Thursday inside the Hatchery zone.

went around 1 pm fished off the dock. met two nice older then me ladies swapped fish stories till more people showed up. then left due to no bites too many bodies on a small dock 3 hours total time fished ... hey look its a new report !
Not sure why there are not more reports from American lake on here? In years past this bulletin board used to be the go – to board for reports and collaboration. They changed the layout and now everything is so hard to find and it seems people have moved on to other forums. Anyway maybe I can get the American lake fishing reports started again: today was my 10th trip out for the year. Just a couple trout to the boat in four hours of fishing from 10:30 AM to about 1:30 PM. Trolled sling blades and Dodgers with hoochies and some wedding ring spinners. All tipped with Pautzke fire corn or Gulp maggots. Was marking a lot of fish off of the National Guard RV park area just not a lot of biters. Most fish marked between 15 and 25 feet all my bites came at 21 feet on the downrigger. I did have four on and three to the boat. I'm sure number four was a Kokanee. Great day to be on the water hopefully we can see some more consistent reporting here. Good luck to all you and fish on.

Finally got my first Steele ever! and her friend. What a morning, beautiful weather, chill in the air @ 34 deg, View attachment 33118 View attachment 33119 on the river at first light and only one other person for miles. By the time I left with my fish there were still only four people on the entire river from the dead line to the fields. What a great morning to be out. To the gentleman that came along as I was preparing to clean'em and be on my way thanks for the encouragement I was pretty excited if you couldn't tell.
Nothing going on at the Tank Xing. But PM me if im wrong. Seriously, I'd love to be wrong!
I went to Minter Creek on Friday, November 7. I only saw a few random fish. There were one or two guys fishing.

Hi all,
Very happy with ZCS OSS 5.X and plan to upgrade to 7.X OSS very soon (new box and all).
Been rock solid.
However the iSync/MAPI connectors would serve us better then CalDav, etc....
Can I simply convert my OSS to Pro pretty easily or is it more of a fork lift procedure?
I searched and didn't find much on the topic in terms of going from free to fee.
I'm unsure if I should just get the eval of Pro to begin with and as I do pretty much have a nod from the powers that be but... you never know.
Thanks in advance,

How do you split that up? 3x12 hour days or 4x9 hour days? 900 miles in a car is about my limit these days so on a bike I would think 450 to 500 would be pushing it.
Jim, you have to be there ! Your our honorary road captain. We'll be lost without you.CJ
You know I would like to be there. I'll try to get there early enough on Sunday to see everyone. However after nearly 4K miles in 14 days, I'll be more into coffee and conversation. Have failth. Getting lost in those hills and roads can be a good thing. You will eventually either run across Hwy 59, 52, I-90 or the river.Jane told me I would like your new bike. She is right.

Dover Fall Race Recap
Posted by lori in Untagged
Dover, DE (September 29, 2013) – As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season begins to wind down, Casey Mears and his GEICO team were anxious to get to Dover, Delaware, to play a home game of sorts. With GEICO's corporate office located a short 100-miles from the speedway, the Germain Racing team feels a sense of pride when they race in the Gecko's backyard.
Consistency was the word of the weekend, as Mears was 26th in the opening practice, 27th in the second practice and 24th in final practice. In qualifying on Friday afternoon, Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion toured the one-mile concrete oval in just 22.697-seconds, landing him 26th on Sunday's starting grid.
While the two previous weekends featured rain in the raceday forecast, Sunday in Dover saw 70-degree temperatures and bright sunshine as the green flag got the race underway. 400-miles of racing at the high-banked Monster Mile can be a daunting task, but Mears and his GEICO team remained focused on continuing their run of solid finishes. Mears started out strong and was sitting in 27th place when a debris caution slowed the field on lap 36. "It's really tight through the center and all the way off. The biggest thing slowing me down is waiting for the frontend through the center," Mears said to crew chief Bootie Barker under caution. The Germain Racing pit crew made quick changes and returned the #13 GEICO Fusion to the racetrack two spots to the good in 25th.
As the race wore on, Mears would work his way into the top 15 before a scheduled green flag pit stop sent his GEICO machine down pit road on lap 115. The GEICO crew continued working on the car and on lap 160, the Bakersfield, CA, native informed Barker that his car was improving: "I have more grip than on my previous runs." As the race grew closer to the checkered flag, teams were stretching out their runs as long as possible, hoping they would need only a single pit stop to complete the event. As Mears was approaching his pit window, he was riding solidly in the 23rd position when his car lost fuel pressure on lap 311 of 400. Fortunately, he was able to work his way to pit road where he was quickly refreshed with tires and much needed Sunoco racing fuel. The pit crew once again made quick work of Mears, as they lost just two positions while pitting under green. Despite the setback, Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion crossed the finish line in the 24th position and scored the team's 18th top 25 of the 2013 season.
"The guys did a good job working on our GEICO Ford Fusion and getting me on and off of pit road today," Mears said. "It's nice to get another solid finish as we try to end the season on a strong note. I am proud of everyone on this GEICO team and look forward to getting to Kansas and finishing what we started there in April."
Just seven races remain on the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series calendar. Next week will find the GEICO team in the Sunflower State of Kansas, where David Gilliland collected Mears on lap 183 of April's STP 400. Mears was enjoying a solid, top 20 run before finding himself in the garage. The Germain Racing team looks forward to returning to the track and turning in a much-deserved good finish.
Casey Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Kansas Speedway for the weekend's opening practice session on Friday, October 4th, at 12:30 PM (EDT). Qualifying will follow at 5:10 PM (EDT).
The Hollywood Casino 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, October 6th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 2:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

This is my first year to enter the draw for CO muleys. I moved to CO from TX last year, and I am officially now a CO resident. I'm used to hunting deer on private land sitting in a deer blind. I'm eager to get out the hiking boots and really hunt.
Any general suggestions on hunting areas I should target or even avoid? I'm not looking for a monster buck, just a good opportunity at something respectable. More importantly I'm interested in seeing and learening what CO is about.
Areas with large muley populations sound good, but on the other hand I hear they can be over run with hundreds (if not thousands) of hunters. I'm an avid hiker and not affraid to head into the back country if it means avoiding the masses. I'm prepared to scout during the summer and really brake the boots in.
There's so much info out there, I'm not even sure what's realiable, more less where to start. Any helps is good help. Thanks in advance.

Monicah's Group
Givavei village does not have a piped water supply, so the community collects their water from an undeveloped source. This water is easily contaminated with bacteria that can cause water-borne diseases. Chlorine dispensers offer a solution to this problem by allowing people to treat their water to make it safe to drink. Monicah and the 10 other households using the local water source need a loan to cover the cost of installing and maintaining chlorine dispensers at the water sources in the area.
Monicah has volunteered to act as the promoter to encourage the community to use the dispenser and to refill it with chlorine when the tank runs low. She volunteered to be the promoter because she wants to help her people stay healthy. There are also four other volunteer promoters from the surrounding community who are part of this group loan: Solomon, Felistus, Everlyn, and Josephine.
The Kiva loan will be repaid by Evidence Action (www.evidenceaction.org) on behalf of the community, through the sale of carbon credits. Using the chlorine dispenser generates carbon credits by avoiding the need to boil water to make it safe to drink. The sale of carbon credits, to organizations and individuals wanting to reduce their carbon footprint, will be used to repay Kiva lenders and also to make sure that Monicah's community can have access to safe water now and in the future.
Additional Information
About Evidence ActionThis loan is part of Evidence Action's Dispensers for Safe Water program, providing rural communities with access to safe drinking water by installing chlorine dispensers where people collect water. The dispensers enable community members to treat their water with chlorine to make it safe to drink.
Kiva loans are used to finance the installation, maintenance and refilling of chlorine dispensers. Evidence Action provides dispensers as in-kind loans to communities, represented on Kiva by dispenser "promoters," who will help educate their neighbors about the equipment's use and benefits, and refill the dispenser with chlorine.
Instead of these loans being repaid by community members, Kiva lenders are reimbursed by the sale of carbon credits. These carbon credits are generated when households use chlorine dispensers to treat their water, because they no longer have to boil it over wood-burning fires that release harmful greenhouse gases. This change in behavior is monetized through the sale of carbon credits on the voluntary carbon market.
Here's how it works:
1) Kiva borrowers grant the rights to carbon credits they generate to Evidence Action.
2) Evidence Action works with an organization called Impact Carbon to monitor, quantify and verify carbon credits, which can then be sold to individuals and organizations looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
3) Revenue earned from this sale is used to maintain dispensers and repay Kiva lenders.
This is the first time Kiva is financing loans that are repaid with carbon credit revenues. By supporting this loan, you're joining an exciting experiment in using credit to fund carbon-reducing water projects. This also means that these loans may carry a significantly higher level of risk than typical Kiva loans.
To learn more about this model, read our blog post "A new way of thinking: Carbon as currency."
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Until recently I haven't allowed my 2 year old to watch much TV. But, now that he is watching a little bit, I am amazed by how much he learns and picks up from shows like Sesame Street. When I was given the opportunity to review A to Z With You and Me, a personalized video dvd for toddlers, I was curious to see what he thought. Needless to say, he LOVED it. From the intro music, straight through the alphabet and personalized pictures, he was engaged. The process was really quite easy. I sent in 26 pictures, each one representing a letter of the alphabet (B for baby, D for Daddy, etc…). For me, the easiest way to do this was through my picture sharing site. I keep my monthly pictures updated on one of these sites. I was easily able to pick and choose the pictures I wanted, transfer them to a new folder and renamed them with the correct letter of the alphabet. My site allows me to share a link for my folder. I simply emailed them the link and they were able to upload all the pictures for the DVD. Simple! If you get stuck on a letter, like x or z, the A to Z website has a handy section of suggestions. My DVD arrived extremely quickly in a secure cardboard box. Their are two DVD's included in the set. The first DVD is personalized and includes "My Picture Perfect ABC's", "Sing Along", "Spell My Name" and "Picture Perfect Montage". The second DVD includes 5 letter and sound games, including a sign language section. We immediately watched the video, and both of my children were enthralled. I was interested to see that my 5 year old also loved this DVD, even though he has learned his alphabet already. He was even a little jealous, and wanted one of his own! The quality of the graphics and sound on the DVD is great. My kids loved the peppy upbeat music, but really loved the personalized pictures. My 2 year old was amazed to see himself on TV! The DVD starts out with the alphabet song, which is repeated twice. This is followed by a letter by letter rundown of the alphabet with personalized pictures, and audio, repeating the letter and the word. The letters are also present on the screen in capital and lower case form. I found that my 2 year old remained engaged throughout the entire DVD and even repeated the letters and words. The DVD does a great job of repeating the alphabet, and running through the photos several times, including a montage at the end. I think repetition is crucial to the learning process and this dvd is able to pull it off without becoming mundane. The second DVD includes the letter and sound games and is about 37 minutes long. My 5 year old loves the games, particularly the sign language section at the end. My 2 year old would watch a section then walk away and come back again. I found that the games were very creative and a great tool for beginning readers. One very lucky reader will win their own Personalized A to Z With You and Me DVD! Mandatory Entry: Tell me who you would give this DVD to if you won. Extra Entries: 1. Follow A to Z with You and Me on Facebook or Twitter and leave a comment telling me you did. 2.

File:Hurricane Intensity Shift.png
From Global Warming Art
This figure, which reproduces one of the key conclusions of Knutson & Tuleya (2004), shows a prediction for how hurricanes and other tropical cyclones may intensify as a result of global warming.
Specifically, Knutson & Tuleya performed an experiment using climate models to estimate the strength achieved by cyclones allowed to intensify over either a modern summer ocean or over an ocean warmed by carbon dioxide concentrations 220% higher than present day. A number of different climate models were considered as well as conditions over all the major cyclone forming ocean basins. Depending on site and model, the ocean warming involved ranged from 0.8 to 2.4 °C.
Results, which were found to be robust across different models, showed that storms intensified by a about one half category (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) as a result of the warmer oceans. This is accomplished with a ~6% increase in wind speed or equivalently a ~20% increase in energy (for a storm of fixed size). Most significantly these result suggest that global warming may lead to a gradually increase in the probability of highly destructive category 5 hurricanes.
This work does not provide any information about future frequency of tropical storms. Also, since it considers only the development of storms under nearly ideal conditions for promoting their formation, this work is primarily a prediction for how the maximum achievable storm intensity will change. Hence, this does not directly bare on the growth or development of storms under otherwise weak or marginal conditions for storm development (such as high upper level wind shear). However, it is plausible that warmer oceans will somewhat extend the regions and seasons under which hurricane may develop.
This work also suggests that the smaller changes in sea surface temperature occurring over the last century are unlikely to lead to detectable changes in the intensity of hurricanes. Despite this, some authors have reported apparent changes in the frequency and intensity of tropical storms (Webster et al. 2005, Emanuel 2005), though it is unclear if such changes can be attributed to global warming.

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin has a team approach to treating patients with scoliosis. At Children's, your child will benefit from the expertise of many specialists, including:
When you bring your child to Children's for scoliosis care, you can count on receiving the kind of care you'd expect from a top hospital with the most advanced tests and treatment options. Our experts understand that caring for kids with scoliosis means looking at the whole body and how it moves – not just the spine.
Since there is no universal treatment for scoliosis, each patient's treatment plan will be unique. Your child's first appointment will include:
If your child has scoliosis and you come to Children's, we will perform a detailed medical exam. Our exam is different than most because it includes a state-of-the-art, low-dose radiation X-ray of the spine using an EOS scanner . We are one of only a few orthopedic centers in the nation who currently have this scanner.
Your child's exam will also include questions about his or her current activity level and abilities. Gathering this information helps us understand how scoliosis may impact your child's daily activities.
In addition, our team of physical therapists will evaluate your child's:
Based on the exam results, we will develop a treatment plan for your child. Our goal is to stop the curve from getting worse and to prevent future problems.
Not all curves need treatment. Some small curves will not get bigger or cause any problems. So rather than jumping into unnecessary treatment, our orthopedic specialists may monitor your child if his or her spinal curve is less than 20 degrees.
There is a good chance that larger curves may increase. If the curve gets bigger, usually a range of 20 to 40 degrees, our specialists may decide your child needs to wear a brace. Braces are especially important if he or she still is growing. Braces usually slow down curve progression or stop the curve from getting worse.
Children's Hospital has on-site specialists called orthotists who make scoliosis braces. Some braces aren't any higher than the upper torso, so they can be hidden under most clothing. Patients usually can remove the brace a few of hours a day for sports and other activities. Sometimes the brace may only be worn at night, but that depends on the size and location of the curve.
Parents and kids who are dealing with scoliosis often want to know more about how scoliosis might affect their daily life. Many people find it helpful to be part of a support network. At Children's, we offer a support group twice a year for kids who wear a scoliosis brace. Patients and parents lead the group with help from a pediatric orthopedic nurse. We also offer surgical support groups who meet many times throughout the year.
Patients with scoliosis often benefit from physical therapy. Our physical therapists are specially trained to care for kids with scoliosis. They know that the whole body, and how it moves, affects the spine. And they develop an individual exercise and therapy program for each patient. We base programs on the type and location of the spinal curve, as well as your child's specific needs and activities.
Therapists will work with your child to improve:
They will also work with your child to find effective ways to reduce pain that can sometimes accompany scoliosis. This style of care includes elements of the Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis as well as other physical therapy methods. Therapists study current research related to spine care so they are knowledgeable about the most effective, conservative scoliosis treatment.
We see more than 3,000 scoliosis patients each year, but surgical patients make up only 3 percent of our total scoliosis visits. When a child with scoliosis does need surgery, experience, options and family support matter. Orthopedic surgeons at Children's Hospital use the most advanced techniques in scoliosis surgery, including procedures that dramatically reduce recovery time from months to days.
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin was one of first two pediatric hospitals in the nation with an EOS low-dose radiation scanner. Doctors mainly use the scanner to help treat children with scoliosis.
Families already are traveling across the country for this cutting-edge care. Watch one family's story and learn more about the benefits of the EOS scanner: EOS Scanner: Patient family testimonial .

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against using baby powder because of the risk of respiratory problems. Baby powder can cause breathing trouble and serious lung damage if a baby inhales the particles. And the particles are small enough that it's hard to keep them out of the air during use.
This is especially true of talc-based powders, with their small, easily inhaled particles. But other powders, including cornstarch-based powders, can also be inhaled.
Even small amounts of powder can irritate a baby's lungs – especially if she's at high risk for respiratory illness. (Those at high risk include premature babies, babies with congenital heart disease, and babies who have had RSV or frequent respiratory illnesses.)
If your baby isn't at high risk and you decide to use powder, do so sparingly. Put the powder on your hands first, away from your baby, not directly on or near her.
Keep the powder container well out of reach of her and of any older siblings, too. You don't want small hands to get hold of it or knock it over and produce a cloud of powder that could be inhaled.
To prevent skin irritation, don't allow powder to build up. At every diaper change, wash away any powder that may have accumulated, especially in the folds of your baby's skin.

AG057: Going for a Spinda
this wiki
Going for a Spinda (Japanese: パッチールがいっぱい!幸せさがして山の彼方に!? Lots of Spinda! Beyond the Mountain in Search of Happiness!) is the 17th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
Ash is excited to have his new badge, so Max asks him where should he go next. Ash does not know, so Brock proposes to go back to Petalburg City. While they are walking, they encounter a bunch of Spinda. May spots another one with a heart on its face. They hear a woman calling for Spinda, so they all leave. The woman tells them that Spinda brought her luck and she needs to bring it back. A man appears, so they all introduce themselves - the woman is Claire and the man is Royce, her butler. The gang introduces themselves as well.
Royce gives them the photos of Spinda with a heart on its face. They promised its owner to get it back, but they haven't been successful. Team Rocket overhears the talk of Spinda being lucky, so they go to steal it. The gang searches and Brock found it, but it has a broken heart... Royce and Claire have found the Spinda, so Ash and Max go to grab it, but Spinda jumps and evades them. Spinda went with the other Spinda, so the gang is confused which one is the correct. Team Rocket appears, sucking the Spinda into the hose (even the one with the heart on its face).
James gets the Spinda with the heart on its face, but it uses Dizzy Punch on Team Rocket. Team Rocket gets their senses, but are soon asleep due to Hypnosis. The balloon falls down and the Spinda goes away. The gang goes to search after it. Later, Team Rocket does so as well, and Jessie made up a plan. She disguises a Teddiursa as a Spinda and when Spinda go to help it, they will take them one by one. However, Teddiursa goes straight ahead, so Jessie must focus it to go left, then right. However, a Ursaring arrives and uses Hyper Beam, blasting them off.
The gang continue the search, so Ash sends Taillow to search as well. Brock gets the Spinda, but (humorously) gets the one with the broken heart. Claire makes a flashback when she met the Spinda. May sees they are almost at the top, so Clarie thinks of something. Meanwhile, Jessie makes a new plan - Meowth will act as a Spinda. Meowth thinks no Spinda will come to it, but unexpectedly, the one with the heart on its face appears before him. Team Rocket tries to catch it, but misses. Spinda runs away and dances, confusing Team Rocket. Team Rocket goes near the edge and falls down.
May, Brock and Claire find the Spinda and go after it. When they arrive to the top, they see a plain of flowers - Spinda wanted to return here. Taillow has found the Spinda, so Ash, Max and Royce come as well. The Spinda with the broken heart comes to Brock. A man arrives - it is the Spinda's (with the heart) owner. The man gives her the flower - the same flower he gave her when they first met. Suddenly, they feel an earthquake!
A giant Spinda machine appears before them - Team Rocket steals the Spinda! Spinda uses Hypnosis, but it is reflected off a mirror, so Spinda falls asleep. Brock is furious, so he sends out Forretress, Lotad and Mudkip. Lotad uses Razor Leaf and Mudkip Water Gun, but with no effect. Team Rocket release the Spinda arm, hurting Mudkip and Lotad. Forretress uses Explosion, destroying the machine. Brock and the man get Spinda (although the man gets with the heart and Brock with the broken heart). Pikachu uses Thunder, blasting Team Rocket off.
The gang leaves, while Brock is sad because he didn't spend time with Claire...
- Featured Pokémon: Seedot, Surskit, Delibird, Seel.
- The English dub is based on the phrase "going for a spin".
- One Spinda in particular looks very similar to a Pikachu, as the positions of its spots are at the tips of its ears and on its cheeks.
"What are you doing, confusing us!? We are already confused!" - James

Life after Sandy: an RVC hotel room
(Page 2 of 3)
Mike, who has construction experience, has been doing much of the work himself, but Gerry said he has to rely on contractors to get his house back to normal. "We're at the mercy of contractors and subcontractors and all of that," he said. "We have to really be on top of it and hope that what they're telling you is the right thing."
Gerry, who stayed with friends in Malverne for two weeks before moving into the hotel in the second week of November, said that having a place to stay, with electricity and heat, helped bring him out of a "fog" after of the storm.
The length of their hotel stay has worn down their enthusiasm. Gerry said that although he never expected to grow tired of going out for dinner, he wishes he could cook his own meals. The families have also had enough of laundromats, but the hotel only has a single pair of machines, and the dryer has been out of order.
But Gerry, Mike and the rest of the families staying at the Best Western may not be able to stay there much longer, and many do not know where they would go instead. FEMA has extended the Temporary Sheltering Assistance Program three times since it began on Nov. 3, the most recent a two-week extension on Jan. 11. Each time it is extended, Mike said, FEMA does not tell the refugees until the day before the deadline, leading to a great deal of anxiety and worry.
"This experience is the worst thing that anybody can have done to them in a lifetime," Mike said. "This has taken years off our lives. The stress is, on a scale of one to 100, this is 110."
There are few other options available to these families. Mike said that most of his family lived in Island Park, and was displaced, just as he was. Going to stay with his family upstate is not an option because he needs to remain near the house.
Gerry said that his situation is similar, and added that renting is not a realistic alternative for most Sandy-displaced homeowners, who have neither the funds nor the furniture. He added that there are not enough apartments for everyone in the market, and that he had heard about bidding wars and exorbitant rates.

I stayed in that hotel for awhile, a great group of hard folk. It is odd they are all trapped their because they purchased flood insurance.
Folks with out flood insurance with damage, had no money for a hotel. They got their FEMA check and immediately demo'd house themselves, mold abated it themselves, put everything to street while things were getting picked up, had DEC empty oil tanks for free then immediately started ordering materials before prices shot up.
The lack of red tape, permits, banks, nonesense and fact they had to stick to an extremely thin budget ment their houses were done in a few weeks.
Sure they have "speedbumps" on their living room floor, sure no sheet rock in garage, rusty screen doors. Warped Cabinets but they have been living in their homes since xmas.
Also folks fighting with insurance companies are slowing their own process. What is annoying is that FEMA is paying a boat load for these folks hotels and only this hotel chain is profiting. These folks should be back home

From Wall Street to Watson – The 2013 Mark Luchinsky Memorial Lecture
This past week, I was honored to be invited to present the 2013 Mark Luchinsky Memorial Lecture at Penn State, and to meet with some of the faculty and students, including the Schreyer Honors College. This talk was presented as part of the lead-up for the 2014 Shaping the Future Summit. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk with students about technology issues, and since we didn't have time to take everyone's questions during the event, I'd like to use this blog to respond to several questions that came in through Twitter during & after the lecture.
Question: "When it comes to ethics in innovation, how do you balance when something created for good can be used for evil ? "
I see you've been reading Google's list of 10 things they know are true (not doing evil comes in at number 6). While I personally like their technologist version of the Hippocratic Oath for engineers (first, do no harm), there are often large gray areas in practice (for example, should Google refrain from deploying their technology in nations which censor the Internet as a protest against that activity, or should they engage in these nations and try to improve things from within the system?). These are not easy questions. For some techniques on dealing with gray area thinking, I'd recommend the Presidential Leadership Academy at Penn State; I had the opportunity to meet with these students during my recent visit, and was quite impressed by their level of engagement and understanding. As a technologist, we have an ethical responsibility towards the technologies which we help create and deploy. However, often we can't foresee exactly how a given technology will be used, or misused, in practice (there's a famous story that AT&T originally didn't want to file a patent application on the laser, because they couldn't understand what it had to do with telephones). I'd encourage you to always act according to your values, and I try to approach my leadership role in the same way. For more on values-based leadership, you might consider the book "Leadership in my rear view mirror" by former IBMer Jack Beach.
Question: " If technology is so important, why isn't there a bigger push for it in grade school ? "
In some places, there is a big push (particularly in countries outside the U.S.). In many other places, more needs to be done in order to update the curriculum and reflect the recent, growing importance of technology (for example, some states have firm requirements for high school graduation in subjects such as health education and gym, but no requirements for basic technical literacy). There are many reasons for this. Technology advances much faster than most elementary and middle schools can keep up. Changing the curriculum statewide requires significant effort (though programs like IBM's sponsorship of P-TECH are making a good start, as recognized recently by President Obama). There are always financial, political, and other barriers to overcome in the real world. There are many schools experimenting with a broader STEM education curriculum, and international FIRST Lego League is part of that effort. There is also a growing recognition that the rules of higher education are changing as well, including recent efforts to develop very large online classes (MOOCs) delivered at very low cost. I think it's important to provide students with an understanding of technology as a life skill. Even if they don't plan to become engineers when they grow up, they will still need to vote on issues affected by technology, science, and math, including whether to believe the statistics from the latest election polls, whether they want to eat meat that's been irradiated as a preservative, or whether we should invest more in manned or unmanned space exploration.
Question: " What role does disaster recovery play in modern data centers ? "
There's a lot of interest in disaster recovery, following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the subsequent array of natural and man-made disasters which have threatened major global data centers. I work on enterprise-class disaster recovery for Fortune 500 clients using IBM's System Z platform, and I developed our qualification program for optical networking companies who want to have their solutions tested under these demanding conditions. Although most companies recognize the need for both disaster backup and business continuity, sometimes we need to be reminded of the business impacts which can result if these solutions are neglected or not tested and updated frequently. Large data centers need to carefully consider how much data they can afford to lose, how fast they need key functions to come back online after a disaster, and other factors so they can appropriately size their recovery strategy. I'm currently working on ways to use software defined networking (SDN) to rapidly re-provision long distance optical networks from wireless mobile controllers (such as a smart phone), so that you can move critical data around while you're evacuating from a disaster site. We have a demo of this running at the SDN Innovation Lab in the NY State Center for Cloud Computing & Analytics, Marist College, NY, for those who are interested. You can also read more about disaster recovery in the latest edition of my book (insert shameless self-interested plug here), the Handbook of Fiber Optic Data Communication (4th edition, Elsevier/Academic Press).
It's always a pleasure to talk with students about the future of technology. If you'd like to continue the conversation, drop me a line on Twitter @Dr_Casimer

Elegant tea planned for dolls and owners
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 3:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 3:01 p.m.
Virginia Rose and her sister, Suzzanne Phillips, are two good examples of how serious adult women can be about their dolls. The home they share in northeast Ocala sports a collection of dolls from all over the world and from many different eras in history. Some are antique collectibles, others elicit childhood memories, still others are handmade treasures.
If you go
What: Dolly & Me Tea
Who: Kingdom of the Sun Doll Club of Ocala
When: 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27
Where: Rolling Greens, North Clubhouse, 1415 W. Gleneagles Road
Cost: Adults, $15; children 6-14, $10
Contact: For tickets and directions, 867-7835
Extra: Bring your own doll
To learn more
The Kingdom of the Sun Doll Club of Ocala meets at 12:30 p.m. every third Saturday from September to May. Dues of $50 a year include a subscription to the quarterly magazine of the United Federation of Doll Clubs. To join, call 867-7835.
Rose, president of the Kingdom of the Sun Doll Club of Ocala, is hoping to introduce others to doll collecting when the club holds its second annual Dolly & Me Tea on April 27. The event will feature club members and dolls fashionably dressed for an elegant tea served on delicate china in elaborate place settings. The event will include door prizes and light refreshments. Members of the public are welcome to attend and bring along their own dolls. Tickets range from $10 to $15.
Rose said she first got interested in doll collecting in 1994.
"I called my mother and told her I was going to take lessons to make dolls, because I couldn't afford the old ones," she said. "My mother said, 'I want to go with you.' "
Though Phillips wasn't interested at first, having done crafts in ceramics in the past, she agreed to join her sister.
"It was a fun thing for the three of us to do together," Rose said. "About that same time, we joined the doll club."
Since then, Rose and Phillips, and their mother, the late Virginia Phillips, have won several awards for their hand-made reproductions of famous creations. For Suzzanne, the hobby also extended to a huge Barbie doll collection, some dating back to the 1960s.
Rose feels their interest in doll collecting is typical of the people who join the club. Currently, 16 members meet on the third Saturday of each month from September to May. At occasional workshops they learn how to make such items as stuffed animals, doll clothes and handkerchief dolls.
"Doll collecting is something that goes through a cycle, just like anything else," Rose said. "It's largely dependent on disposable income, of which there's not a lot anymore. It's one of those things that's not a necessity. Like any type of collecting, the interest has to be there. The income has to be there."
These days, American Girl dolls run around $110, and the little Ginny dolls made by Vogue can cost about $45, Rose said. The new pose-able dolls run about $1,000. Then, there are the wardrobes, storage boxes, display cases and props such as highchairs, beds and complete doll houses.
"I like dolls with wardrobes," Rose said. "I want to be able to change clothes and dress them for the holiday or the season. It's a very personal thing."
So far, the Ocala group has three junior collectors. One is Rose's granddaughter, Isabella Chancery, who is 8, the minimum age for membership. Isabella collects Polly Pockets and has a couple of Ginny dolls, Rose said.
Club members sometimes make stuffed animals and sock monkey dolls for organizations that work with children, such as the Alpha Center, and local law enforcement agencies. In the last couple years, the club has had three displays at the Ocala/Marion County Public Library.
Members Harriet Brinker and Penny Homer are preparing to give a talk about dolls at a local assisted living facility and plan to bring dolls reminiscent of what the residents would have had in their childhood, Rose said.
The club is affiliated with the United Federation of Doll Clubs, which is headquartered in Kansas City, Mo. The parent organization hosts a convention every year, with this year's planned for July 29 to Aug. 1 in Washington, D.C.

The Medical Home Evolves From Recordkeeping to a Community of Care
A patient-centered medical home practices preventive medicine and helps manage chronic illnesses through a partnership between patients and their primary care physician and other health professionals
Patient-centered medical homes might be the newest wave in health care, but the roots of the concept date back to the 1960s.
Initially, the American Academy of Pediatrics defined it has the center for a child's medical records, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
These days, a patient-centered medical home has evolved into a partnership between patients and their primary care physician and other associated health professionals, such as nurse practitioners, counselors and nutritionists, who are actively involved in managing a patient's health care.
By practicing preventive medicine and working to help manage chronic illnesses, the aim is to cut back on emergency room visits and hospital stays, says Andrew Webber, president and CEO of the National Business Coalition on Health, which represents more than 7,000 employers with 25 million employees and their dependents.
With a medical home, physicians typically receive a small amount per patient, per month (known as PMPM), to help compensate them for managing care. Rather than the existing system, which rewards physicians for seeing a higher number of patients, physicians and their associates are rewarded for coaching, educating and following up with patients, Webber says.
If a patient goes to a specialist, that information is incorporated into his or her medical home records and care.
In 2007, the Joint Principles of the Patient-Centered Medical Home were endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians and the American Osteopathic Association. Together, the groups represent more than 300,000 physicians.
If an employer is considering offering a medical-home option to employees, Webber says it's important that the medical home be certified, which "guarantees it has the infrastructure needed to do a better job" providing primary care. One key component is the use of electronic health records.
Another involves naming a point person, such as a nurse or case manager, to work with each patient, Webber says. That point person will have a relationship with the patient and be the point of contact if a health care issue crops up, follow up with the patient, and track the patient's progress on things such as their diet, lifestyle and use of medication.
As interest in the patient-centered medical home model grows, the biggest challenge may be the limited number of such homes, Webber says. "In so many communities, we don't have a lot of primary care practices that are certified as medical homes."

Cosmetics come with all kinds of purposes and benefits, but perhaps the most powerful one of all is the concealer. Designed to diminish the appearance of unsightly marks, blemishes, and discolorations on the skin, concealers can readily hide the fact that you are having a stressful week. Available in a variety of colors, each of which has been designed for a specific purpose, concealers offer a chance to pretend that your eyes do not have dark circles beneath them, your acne isn't making an appearance again, and your skin hasn't faded into a sallow complexion that has lost all of its radiance.

This lightweight solution hydrates and firms your skin, reducing the size and depth of the wrinkles and expression lines on your face.

Transporting ASGT
Posted 02 May 2009 - 12:04 PM
I had been thinking of getting a padded bag for the tripod and some kind of case for the mount. My question is whether the head would be damaged if left on the tripod for storage and transport.
Thanks for any advice.

I want to find a carry case for my ASGT mount and tripod. I've seen a few threads that discuss leaving the mount on the tripod and packing the whole thing in a padded bag like the ones used for lighting gear or sports equipment.
I had been thinking of getting a padded bag for the tripod and some kind of case for the mount. My question is whether the head would be damaged if left on the tripod for storage and transport.
Thanks for any advice.
I use an Orion bag that I've had for a while, that I originally bought to hold a refractor and tripod:
48.5"x9.5"x10.5" Orion Padded Telescope Case #15146
I can keep the mount attached to the tripod for quick set-up. There is a divider that runs lengthwise down the case. I remove the counterweight bar from the mount and I put the CW bar with the CW attached on the other side of the divider (on the end that is opposite the mount), I also remove the spreader/accessory tray, wrap it in a towel, and put it on the other side of divider pretty much in the center. Works fine and cost something like $63. Very well padded and durable. No damage or scratches so far but I'm pretty careful carrying it around. I certainly wouldn't ship it or check it as baggage in this case, but it allows me to carry the mount, tripod, and CW in one bag.
Orion suggests this bag for their "Skyview Pro mount and tripod (similar to the Celestron CG5-AS):
56"x8"x10" Orion Padded Mount/Tripod Case #15175
It's longer and slightly narrower and doesn't have the divider. Based on the dimensions, it is probably a better fit for the mount with tripod attached and no optical tube. But I never used it so I can't comment on specifics. Cost is $73:
Posted 04 May 2009 - 10:19 PM
See http://notthepainter...ting-equipment/
Note carefully, this case is cheaply made, this is for car transport only. I also have an extra if anyone is in the market and local to eastern Mass.

Gaughan Ready for Westward Swing to Phoenix
Posted by: lori on Feb 24, 2011
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
- Gaughan drives the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra
- He is an 8-time winner in the Truck Series
- He holds two NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Championship Titles
- Gaughan won in the GT class in the Rolex 24 at Daytona this year
- Gaughan has 8 Truck Series, 4 NKNPSW, 4 NNS and 2 NSCS starts at PIR
Mooresville, N.C. (February 23, 2011) - After watching a promising season opening performance get crashed in Daytona, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series veteran Brendan Gaughan is anxious to put his No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra on track in familiar racing territory—Phoenix International Raceway.
"Anytime we go west, I love it. Phoenix, California, Vegas – all that is where I grew up. All that is where I started racing. I raced an off-road car inside Phoenix International Raceway – I grew up watching Walker Evans race inside Phoenix. I guess I always have a different swagger when I go to the West Coast. It's a little more intense because you are 'local' to the area," explained Gaughan who holds to NKNPSW titles but has not yet been to the winner's circle of PIR.
Gaughan and crew chief Bryan Berry agree that the off-season testing the team did at Disney World's speedway should factor in favorably when the team unloads their Toyota in the desert.
"Turn one is where we learned the most at Disney and a lot of what we learned will apply to turns one and two at Phoenix. Brendan loves the track. The biggest challenge is for us to help him get the truck free enough that he can roll the centers of the corner, but not too free so that it hurts his entry into the corners," explained Berry.
Gaughan loves his race truck for Phoenix, which will be chassis TRD-026.
"Phoenix is a track that I love as a driver. We've already tested the Phoenix South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra twice at Disney World so I feel really good about what we're taking there," said Gaughan. "Our truck at Daytona was one of the best trucks I've driven there in years. And it doesn't come close to how good our truck is for Phoenix. I couldn't be more excited."
While heading west is fun and familiar for Gaughan, who grew up in Las Vegas and raced off-road in the area for several years. The westward trip also makes him consider the upcoming talent in the Truck Series field—a few fellow Tundra drivers that are fellow Vegas natives...
"The Truck Series is awesome racing. It always has an interesting blend of young, upcoming talent and wiley veteran racers. This year, Vision Aviation Racing has Justin Johnson and Dusty Davis racing – they are two fellow Vegas guys. Here's a fun fact. I emceed Dusty Davis' go-kart banquet when he won the championship when he was eight years-old," said Gaughan with a pause and grin. "It's cool to see a couple more Vegas boys coming up in the Toyota ranks, but, it's sad to say…I feel a bit older because of it!"
Watch Gaughan in the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra on Friday, February 25th, at Phoenix International Raceway. Watch PIR excitement on SPEED starting with practice at 11:00 AM ET on Friday followed at 5 PM with qualifying and racing action at 8 PM. Or, tune your radio to your local MRN affiliate.
Germain Racing has earned two championship titles in the Truck Series. The Toyota team owns 22 victories and 9 pole awards in the series that continues to grow ratings on SPEED. For more information on Germain Racing, visit www.GermainRacing.com or follow the team on Twitter @GermainRacing.
Brendan Gaughan holds eight Truck Series victories to go along with his two K&N Pro Series West championship titles. He currently ranks 21st in the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver's points standings following his 26th-place finish at Daytona.

Summary of discussion, 8/30/2011
Support for both aspects of the proposal -- specifying the punctuation and including families. Suggest simplifying the wording as "Present a see also reference from an authorized access point as illustrated below."
The added example (Library and Archives Canada) follows the alternative instruction and should be edited and/or moved.
Concern about displaying relationship designators from Appendix J "as is" (the ones with Group 1 entity names in them).
- Robare, 8/30/2011
General comments
Both proposals here - specifying the punctuation and including families - make sense to me. The latter issue, including families in the list of elements, reminds me of our discussion of unusual capitalization though, and I'm wondering if this isn't another place where we want to suggest just simplifying the instructions. Something like: "Present a see also reference from an authorized access point as illustrated below." It seems unnecessary to list all of the possible types of authorized access points, which the instructions currently do and would continue to do with LC's proposed change. Rolla, 8/24/11
I agree with Peter that it would help simplify the instructions by dropping the list of types of authorized access points. K. Randall, 8/24/11
I have a problem with the idea of using the relationship designators from Appendix J "as is"—at least the ones that include Group 1 entity names in them, such as "adaptation of (work)" and "adaptation of (expression)". I firmly believe that Group 1 entity names should NOT be a part of the user display of relationships of any kind. When displayed to the user, relationship designators should be generalized by eliminating the Group 1 entity name; for example, "adaptation of (work)" would display to the user as "adaptation of". I'm not sure how exactly this would relate to this proposal, though. I am not aware of any examples in RDA in which the Group 1 entity name appears. K. Randall, 8/24/11
The added example points out that it is not clear exactly how the alternative is really an alternative. The added example is displayed according to the alternative instruction. Should this example be moved into the examples for the alternative instruction, and replaced in the main examples by:
Library and Archives Canada
see also
Predecessor: National Archives of Canada
see also
Predecessor: National Library of Canada
A similar type of example should also then be added to E.1.3.2, such as:
Association belge des collectionneurs et dessinateurs d'ex-libris
Mahatma Jotirao Phule Academy of Backward Castes Development and Empowerment
K. Randall, 8/24/11
I agree with the suggestions above, and most emphatically with Kevin's comments on the use of Group 1 entity names in public display. R.Rendall, 8/25/11
I know this is coming after the deadline and is a very minor point, but the last occurrence of "family" on p. 2 is misspelled (as "famiy"). --Lipcan (ARLIS/NA), for Elizabeth O'Keefe (Morgan Library & Museum), 9-5-2011.

Thanks, The world mapping guys will like this a lot.
Hi, people! This forum's been really helpful to me so far, and so I wanted to pay back the favor a bit.
I've been researching and learning about map projections the past day or so, and I decided that I wanted to make a Mollweide projection for a new atlas I'm working on. I searched for a usable grid to help me create the look, but I didn't find anything scalable and user friendly. So instead, I just created my own Illustrator (yay, vectors!) file of a Mollweide projection GRID, set to 360x180 points (therefore one point is one degree).
This is the basic outline including circles of latitude. Lat and long lines are set 15 degrees apart. In addition, I cropped every other longitude line near the poles to clean up that area. It's something I saw on another map when I was researching projection styles, and I kind of like it. I attached a .png preview image here:
But the .zip file is what contains the .ai (Illustrator) file. I hope this comes in handy for at least some people!
Thanks, The world mapping guys will like this a lot.
