Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels
Welding Metallurgy and Weldability of Stainless Steels, the first book in over twenty years to address welding metallurgy and weldability issues associated with stainless steel, offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of these topics currently available. The authors emphasize fundamental metallurgical principles governing microstructure evolution and property development of stainless steels, including martensistic, ferric, austenitic, duplex, and precipitation hardening grades. They present a logical and well-organized look at the history, evolution, and primary uses of each stainless steel, including detailed descriptions of the associated weldability issues.
Welding Deformation and Residual Stress Prevention
Generally, welding produces welding deformation and residual stress in the products, which influences the quality and performance of the products. Although many engineers and researchers have made great effort how to control these incidents, they have still remained unresolved. Welding Deformation and Residual Stress Prevention provides a unique computational approach to the prediction of the effects of deformation and residual stress on materials. The goal is to provide engineers and designers with the ability to create their own computational system for predicting and possibly avoiding the problem altogether. The basic theories including "theory of elastic-plastic analysis" and "inherent strain theory" , and analysis procedures are described using a simple three-bar model. Online simulation software to perform basic analysis on welding mechanics Examples of strategic methods and procedures are illustrated to have solved various welding-related problems encountered in the process of construction. Appendices present data bases for welding residual stresses, temperature dependent material properties, etc.
Metallurgy and Mechanics of Welding
This book offers a comprehensive overview on the subject of welding. Written by a group of expert contributors, the book covers all welding methods, from traditional to high-energy plasmas and lasers.?The reference presents joint welding, stainless steel welding, aluminum welding, welding in the nuclear industry, and all aspects of welding quality control.

Introduction to machining processes
Machining, by definition, is the process of disposal of surplus materials and unwanted by the use of machine tools and process them into usable parts. different processes such as turning, milling, drilling and correction are used to remove and modify a metal or plastic into a machine usable part.
The machines have revolutionized the industrial world in decades. Earlier, people used to manually extract metals and transform them. But with the coming of machines in the industry and the invention of the first steam engine by James Watt, the scenario has changed. Today, machines are used in different sectors multiple purposes. The technology of the next and the software has also improved the use of machinery. The Internet has added to the utility Special machining services and the availability of spare parts in the virtual world.
All variety to the machinery to meet the specific needs of manufacturing and mechanized vehicles to choose. These machines are part of manufacturing of various materials such aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper, polycarbonate, plastic, fiberglass and acrylic, amongst others. To achieve a perfect and finished piece of material, different methods are applied to the piece according to its end use. Most methods used to remove and modify a single piece crude mixture, cutting, drilling, drawing, polishing, anodizing, grinding, laser cutting node, milling, plasma cutting, milling, welding, thermoforming, gear cutting, cutting, sawing and the list goes on .. These methods are responsible for providing the dimensional accuracy and surface finish perfect to a particular piece of metal.
Machining has several advantages. The process has led to greater efficiency, lower production costs and faster delivery. Also leave room for the manufacture of parts with extensive design flexibility, closer tolerance and properties compatible components. lower residual stress component and a faster turnaround time are the main advantages of machining. Machining is a method widely used in major industries to produce a large and outstanding piece. The method is used in industries such as transportation, construction, packaging, electricity, automobiles, airplanes, hospitals and medical applications, among many others. There are sites that promote proprietary machining solutions and serves excellent CNC machine shop.
A manufacturing machine shop allows customers generate their own products made from custom parts supplied by the online store of the machine. Guests also have access to download multiple user manuals, help of CAD software and guides that can help you design various objects. It is a gateway world to enter a world of innovative machines. www.emachineshop.com site is a complete total solutions.

WHITEWASH: State Dept Keystone XL Inspector General Report Clears Botched Handling of Environmental Resources Management Conflicts
Ben Jervey | February 26, 2014
By Ben Jervey • Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 15:03
The State Department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has finally weighed in on potential conflicts of interest in the environmental assessments of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. Sort of.
The office just released its long-anticipated report, capping off an investigation on whether Environmental Resources Management, the contractor hired by TransCanada to conduct the environmental impact study, had too close a relationship with TransCanada, and whether it deliberately hid those ties in filings with the State Department.
Specifically, from the OIG's findings:
- OIG did find that the process for documenting the contractor selection process, including the conflict of interest review, can be improved.
- OIG also found that the Department's public disclosures concerning its conflict of interest review could be improved.
Finally, the Office of the Inspector General makes these specific recommendations:
- OIG recommends that the Department's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, in coordination with the Office of the Legal Adviser, enhance its guidance to more fully articulate its selection and conflict of interest review processes.
- OIG recommends that the Department explain in greater detail the definition of "organizational conflict of interest" relied upon by the Department.
- OIG recommends that the Department specify in its guidance the documentation required in the contractor selection and conflict of interest processes and establish standard operating procedures to capture and retain this information.
- OIG recommends that the Department enhance its guidance to integrate a process for public disclosure of
appropriate information.
Attention will now turn to the Government Accountability Office, which will begin an investigation on the State Department's environmental review process. Earlier this week, Representative Raúl Grijalva of Arizona requested a GAO review, suggesting that the Keystone XL environmental assessment has been corrupted by conflicts of interest. "Nothing should be glossed over; nothing should be ignored," Grijalva said. "The questions that we posed to GAO had to do with the State Department process. And if this is a tainted process, I suggest the president at that point shouldn't trust that information,"
DeSmogBlog will take a closer look at all the details in the report and update this post throughout the evening.

A Score Card for Sports Bars
This Lineup Delivers Some Heavy Hitters
Las Vegas is clearly in a league of its own. But when autumn rolls around, Sin City, like the rest of the nation, is swept up in the excitement generated by the Major League Baseball playoffs, the National Football League and college football. As the
action on the gridiron kicks off and the pennant races come down to the wire, the activity heats up at the sportsbooks, as well as in the sports lounges.
Here is a rundown on some of the hottest places to eat, drink and root for the old ball team.
Vegas' newest sports bar and lounge is the latest in a string of upscale sports-themed clubs owned by showbiz mogul Jay-Z. You never know when you might spot the hip-hop artist himself or his celebrity friends Alex Rodriguez or LeBron James on the premises at this Palazzo hot spot. The club's centerpiece is The Bleachers, an amphitheater where 125 plush seats look out onto a gargantuan 120-square-foot TV screen; 85 more plasma TVs are scattered throughout the club, which has five bi-level bars, five VIP suites and an outdoor terrace right on the Strip.
The Palazzo Resort and casino, 3325 Las Vegas Blvd. South
702.638.4040, www.the4040club.com
The most interactive experience can be found at ESPN Zone in New York-New York, another multicity sports-themed operation. Its two-story Las Vegas venue is tricked out with all sorts of high-tech gadgetry. With an early opening time of 10:30 a.m. and more than 165 TV monitors scattered throughout — including in the HD Studio Grill, the SportsCenter Bar and even the restrooms — sports junkies won't miss a second of the action.
The Screening Room dominates, with two 14-foot wide HD screens and a dozen 36-inch video monitors for multigame viewing, plus direct audio control in booths and free wireless Internet access for getting updated statistics and managing fantasy teams.
If you get bored watching TV, the Sports Arena is an arcade housing 75 games and attractions, some of them proprietary to ESPN Zone.
New York-New York Hotel and Casino, 3790 Las Vegas Blvd. South
702. 933.3776, www.espnzone.com/lasvegas
Blondie's is more of a typical neighborhood sports bar with a bargain proposition unusual for Las Vegas: Its daily happy hour (4 to 6 p.m.) offers all-you-can-drink draft beers for $10. Other promotions include all-you-can- drink wells and drafts for $10 on Tuesdays from 9.30 till close and Beer Pong contests on Thursdays with a prize worth $500. The restaurant carries multiple games on its 43 plasma and big-screen televisions.
Also located in the Miracle Mile Shoppes at Planet Hollywood is Hawaiian Tropic Zone, which sometimes hosts public viewing parties sponsored by major sports industry players and televises major sports events on its state-of-the-art video wall.
Miracle Mile Shoppes, Planet Hollywood, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Blondie's, 702.737.0444, www.blondiesvegas.com
Hawaiian tropic Zone, 702.731.4858, http://www.hawaiiantropiczone.com/lv/index.html
A favorite among locals as well as tourists, the Brew Pub has 38 flat-screen and three big-screen TVs, as well as a 10-by-10 foot projection screen for watching games. When the game's not the thing, the pub features a piano bar and live bands, usually on weekends.
Monte carlo Resort and Casino, 3770 Las Vegas Blvd. South
702.650.7565, www.montecarlo.com
Tucked away behind the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino's sportsbook, the Sports Deluxe is an intimate, dimly lit sports bar that is much less frenetic than the property's other watering holes. Plush leather U-shaped booths are equipped with their own personal mini-TVs, while a bank of HD plasma TVs provides the bigger picture.
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, 4455 Paradise Road
702.693.5000, www.hardrockhotel.com
Also adjacent to a sportsbook, this one at Hooters Casino Hotel, Pete & Shorty's is modeled after a typical small-town tavern and promotes a relaxed, neighborly atmosphere. Patrons watch sporting events on 24 42-inch plasma TVs — when not being distracted by Hooters girls.
Hooters Casino Hotel, 115 E. Tropicana Ave.

As many people have learned, Dometic has been forced to recall something over 900,000 refrigerators for the possibility of a failing cooling unit, which might result in a fire. Norcold recently went through a recall for the same reason- the heating elements installed are just too hot, along with a possibly defective weld, which results in the coolant leaking out.
Norcold did waffle a bit, releasing a recall which simply changed the heating element to a lower wattage model, but finally stepped up to the plate and replaced all of the affected cooling units- at considerable expense.
But… Dometic- as of the latest word that I have (and I have heard nothing through "official" channels) is that the "fix" Dometic is releasing is simply a "safety" fix- a sheet metal shield which will keep the ammonia/hydrogen mixture from catching fire when and if the cooling unit leaks. This meets the letter of the law in terms of safety, but in my opinion it short changes the near 1 million customers who either regarded Dometic as a quality company, or who bout RVs from manufacturers who thought the same. This recall does nothing to actually fix what is a defect in design and construction, it simply makes it so that when your thousand dollar plus appliance fails after a few years, it will not destroy your entire RV…. oh boy… thanks for the concern, Dometic.
I've been an RVer since the age of 18 (mumble, mumble- some 30 years now), in the repair business for over 15 years- and Dometic certified for nearly 10, and I have always been comfortable recommending, selling and installing Dometic products. Now I am afraid, unless Dometic changes their position (which, given enough public outrage, they might), I cannot in good conscience do that any more.
The letter of the recall is available here (at safercar.gov)

About America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places
About the List
Since 1988, the National Trust has used its list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places to raise awareness about the threats facing some of the nation's greatest treasures. The list, which has identified more than 250 sites, has been so successful in galvanizing preservation efforts that only a handful of sites have been lost. Dozens of sites have been saved through the tireless work of the National Trust, its partners, and local preservationists across the country. Many more sites are now considered "favorable" and are on the path to a positive solution. Still, others remain threatened, and the National Trust and its partners continue in their efforts to protect these important endangered places.

How to Get GBA Pokemon in Diamond/Pearl Without Beating the Elite Four
If you've ever played Pokemon Diamond or Pearl, you've probably also heard that you can migrate Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen and Emerald. But, you must beat the Elite Four first. Here's a way to get your Pokemon from the GBA games (mentioned above) without having to beat the Elite Four.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1If you have two Diamond or Pearl game cartridges and one of the games has already beaten the Elite Four, use that cartridge to migrate.
2Choose the Pokemon you want to migrate from your chosen Pokemon GBA game(s) (you must have a minimum of 6 Pokemon).
3Put the/each game cartridge in the Nintendo DS (if you have more than one Pokemon GBA game and you have chosen at least two, put the cartridges in one at a time).
4Place all the Pokemon you want in your party on the GBA games (if you want to migrate more than six Pokemon, you must repeat this step). Do this for each GBA game you are going to migrate from.
5Turn off the DS that is playing your last Pokemon GBA game that you want to migrate from (don't forget to save!). Now turn on the Diamond or Pearl cartridge that has beaten the Elite Four. On the menu, choose to migrate from the Pokemon GBA game that you last played. It will show the Pokemon from the GBA game. Accept all conditions that will allow your GBA Pokemon to migrate (repeat this step if you have more Pokemon to migrate from the same game and or you have more games to migrate from).
6Use the Diamond or Pearl game with the migrated Pokemon to go to the Pal Park. Once you get into the Pal Park, try and find the migrated Pokemon. Once they have all been caught, Fly or find a way to get to a Pokemon Centre.
7Put the other Diamond or Pearl cartridge into another DS that has not beaten the Elite Four. Fly or find a way to a Pokemon Center.
8Go into the Trade Room with both Diamond and Pearl games. Before that though, you must get the Pokemon you are going to trade (the migrated Pokemon and some Pokemon to trade for the migrated Pokemon out of your PC).
9When in the Trade Room, let one of the Trainers talk to the other (if both Trainers talk, it won't work). You will be asked to do something (e.g. Battle). Choose Trade.
10Trade the migrated Pokemon with the other Pokemon. Repeat this step if you have more than six migrated Pokemon. When all migrated Pokemon have been traded to the cartridge that hasn't beaten the Elite Four, you're done!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Get a friend to help you with this, even if they have a Diamond or Pearl version or not. It takes less time and it's easier, too.
- You cannot migrate Pokemon from the Game Boy Pokemon games (like Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal). Also, it is impossible to migrate Pokemon from the Pokemon TCG game, Pokemon Pinball or the Green and Black version (even if your Diamond or Pearl version is in Japanese).
- You can't migrate Pokemon from Mystery Dungeon for GBA.
- Don't migrate glitch Pokemon; it could ruin your game!
- Pokemon that have Hidden Machines (or HM for short) cannot be migrated as well.
Things You'll Need
- Two Nintendo DS machines
- A friend (for a quicker process)
- Two copies or the Pokemon Diamond or Pearl versions (with one game having already beaten the Elite Four)

An 18-year-old Ridgefield resident was arrested Friday night after he allegedly stabbed the family dog multiple times, killing it, officials said.
Christopher Curran, 18, was arrested late Friday and booked into the Clark County Jail on suspicion of first-degree animal cruelty.
Deputies with the Clark County Sheriff's Office were initially called to the house located just outside the Ridgefield city limits just before 8 p.m. for a reported disturbance with an out-of-control subject.
Upon arrival, they were told by family members that Curran had allegedly stabbed the family dog to death, said Sgt. Fred Neiman, sheriff's office spokesman.
The dog, described as a medium-size black dog was stabbed multiple times with a folding, serrated knife, according to photos and reports taken by deputies, Neiman said.
Curran was detained during the investigation and later taken to PeaceHealth, Southwest Medical Center where he was treated for wounds on his hand. After being treated, he was booked into jail, Neiman said.
The prosecutor is reviewing the case.

HOUSTON (AP) - The second capital murder defendant in a black man's dragging death did not hate minorities and had an unremarkable upbringing in Northeast Texas, relatives and others said.
Lawrence Russell Brewer heads to trial May 17 for last year's slaying of Jasper resident James Byrd Jr., who was chained to a pickup truck and dragged nearly three miles.
"Russell didn't hate blacks," his maternal aunt, Carol Gillham, told the Houston Chronicle.
"We've never had any KKK in this family. We had blacks in this family. Russell's cousin married a black man. They had two kids. Russell married a Hispanic. They had a son," she said.
A Jasper jury in February convicted 24-year-old John William King and sentenced him to death for his role in Byrd's death. A third defendant, 24-year-old Shawn Allen Berry, is expected to be tried after Brewer.
Brewer's defense lawyer, Doug Barlow, contends that his client's trial should not be held in Jasper because the East Texas town has too much of a vested interest in the case and the potential jury pool is too small. A hearing is scheduled Tuesday on Barlow's request to move the trial out of Jasper.
Brewer, a high school dropout in Delta County, was described as an inept burglar who sometimes targeted the homes of his own relatives.
"I never thought his chance of becoming a productive citizen was too bright," former sheriff's investigator Gary Thompson said. "But I was surprised that he got into trouble of such magnitude."
Prosecutors said Brewer's DNA was detected on a cigarette and a beer bottle found at the crime scene and Byrd's blood was found on his shoe.
Brewer, 32, was regarded by many as the bad seed of a hard-working Christian family in the hardscrabble country between the North Sulphur River and South Sulphur River.
Sheriff Benny Fisher, who grew up with Brewer's father in rural Delta County, described the accused killer as "just a country boy."
"The Lawrence Brewers were a good family," Fisher said. "They went to church. They weren't mean to the kids. . . . Brewer had to pick up (the hatred) in prison. When the boy went off to prison, he fell in with the wrong gang. It destroyed his life as well as his parents' lives."

Sikh Temple Visit
On Sunday, October 21, 2012 Dr. Judith Beall and the UWM Religious Studies Student Organization (RSSO) visited the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, the site of the August 5 shooting. The RSSO was met by UWM professor Dr. Swarnjit S. Arora, himself a Sikh, who instructed them on the proper manner to dress and behave in a Sikh temple. Refreshments were served, Dr. Arora delivered a brief lecture on the history and practices of the Sikh faith and the members of the RSSO observed the memorials to the shooting victims. Afterwards, the RSSO joined the congregation of the temple for a typical religious ceremony consisting of prayers, songs and readings from the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh religious text. The afternoon was concluded with a Langar, or communal meal, during which the members of the RSSO could meet members of the temple community and reflect on what they had experienced that day. The members of RSSO wish to express their gratitude to Dr. Arora and the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin for their hospitality, and our most heartfelt condolences to the victims of this tragedy and their loved ones.

vi-curious Gary J Little's Weblog https://blogs.oracle.com/gjl/feed/entries/atom 2016-03-09T18:27:36+00:00 Apache Roller https://blogs.oracle.com/gjl/entry/detecting_data_corruption Detecting data/file corruption gjl 2005-07-22T03:15:35+00:00 2005-07-22T10:16:00+00:00 Sometimes I get escalations that go along the lines of '...I moved this application data from machine fred to machine bob and now the application won't read it. What's happened?'
 To try and debug the problem from the application down, is probably going to be quite long-winded. So, my first action is to verify that the file is actually the same on both machines. i.e. did it get corrupted in the transfer. If it did, then we can forget the appliction layer stuff, and concentrate on the method of transfer. It seems obvious when you think of it, but sometimes in the heat of the momemt, the simplest things get forgotten. What follows are some examples of how to use standard Solaris tools to detect data corruption.
 For a long time we've had binaries that generate a checksum against a file - which is a simple way to tell if the source and destination copies are the same. There are sum, cksum and now in s10 digest. Also we have 'cmp' which will do a byte-for-byte conparison of two files.

Examples

 All of these tools can be used on reguar files and raw devices. !!Copy a raw disk slice to an image file using dd. # dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 of=/var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img bs=1024k 41+1 records in 41+1 records out !!Now we can use the comparison tools, they should all come back identical or clean. Remember cmp gives no output for a matching pair of files. For sum and cksum, the first column is the checksum, the second column, the size. # cmp /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img # sum /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img 28918 85050 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 28918 85050 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img # cksum /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img 3185788260 43545600 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 3185788260 43545600 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img # digest -a md5 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3) = 0616a55e0a4e30ecf49c974f23a56255 (/var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img) = 0616a55e0a4e30ecf49c974f23a56255 To show what happens when a file is corrupted we will write a single byte to the front of the file, which is currently all zero's. The current contents of the first 10 bytes of the file (offsets are in octal) # od -x -N 10 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000012 Now we write the first byte of /etc/hosts (any file would do) to the front of the image file, to simulate corruption. # dd if=/etc/hosts of=/var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img bs=1 count=1 conv=notrunc We now see that the file has changed by one byte. # od -x -N 10 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img 0000000 3100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000012 !!Now we will re-run the comparison commands to see what is shown for a corrupted file. # cmp /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img differ: char 1, line 1 # sum /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img 28918 85050 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 28967 85050 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img # cksum /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img 3185788260 43545600 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 1666608083 43545600 /var/tmp/c0t0d0s3.img Again, note that for cksum and sum, that the second column is identical in the original and corrupt version since we have not changed the file length. Timings, comparing two identical files on filesystem. Single disk Ultra10 Solaris10. The timings are dominated by waiting for IO. # timex cmp /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 c0t0d0s3.img.bak real 12.83 user 4.86 sys 1.31 # timex sum /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 c0t0d0s3.img.bak 28918 85050 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 28918 85050 c0t0d0s3.img.bak real 15.17 user 3.89 sys 1.15 # timex cksum /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 c0t0d0s3.img.bak 3185788260 43545600 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 3185788260 43545600 c0t0d0s3.img.bak real 14.57 user 2.73 sys 1.33 # timex digest -a md5 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 c0t0d0s3.img.bak (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3) = 0616a55e0a4e30ecf49c974f23a56255 (c0t0d0s3.img.bak) = 0616a55e0a4e30ecf49c974f23a56255 real 15.82 user 4.07 sys 1.68

General Motors is recalling about 425,000 full-size passenger and cargo vans after reports that seat belt buckles will not latch or unlatch.
The recall affects the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana from the 2003 to 2006 model years.
GM discovered the problem through an analysis of warranty claims. Consumers reported problems latching the buckle or unlocking it once it was in place.
A spokesman says there have been no reports of injuries. Dealers will inspect the buckles and replace the upper buckle cover. If the restraint isn't working properly, dealers will replace the entire buckle assembly.

Dan Hurlin, a member of the Sarah Lawrence College theatre faculty, has won a prestigious 2002 Guggenheim fellowship to choreograph a dramatic puppet piece to premiere at the Dance Theatre Workshop in 2004.
Shirley Kaplan, head of the Sarah Lawrence College Theatre Department, says that Hurlin's Guggenheim fellowship attests to his abilities as an inventive interdisciplinary performance artist. Hurlin's fellowship-funded project will be a full-length puppet piece inspired by the true story of the Hiroshima Maidens, a group of twenty-five women who were disfigured by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Amid much publicity, the women were invited to the United States in 1955 to undergo reconstructive surgeries. A 'blackout' on images of survivors imposed by the U.S. State Department meant that when the women made public appearances, they could only appear in silhouette. Hurlin's piece will trace the Hiroshima Maiden's odyssey culminating in their appearance (in silhouette) on the television show "This Is Your Life." Influenced by Bunraku or traditional Japanese Puppetry, the piece will be accompanied by music by Bessie award-winning composer Robert Een.
An alumnus of Sarah Lawrence College and a faculty member since 1997, Hurlin works with graduate and undergraduate dance and theatre students at Sarah Lawrence College. Hurlin has performed at venues in New York City including Dance Theatre Workshop, LaMama and Danspace and has received numerous awards for his work including a Village Voice Obie Award and a New York Dance and Performance Award.
Guggenheim Fellowship Awards are given on the basis of distinguished achievement in the past and exceptional promise for future accomplishment. The year 2002 Fellowship winners include 184 artists, scholars and scientists selected from over 2800 applicants. Previous Guggenheim appointees include Nobel Laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners.

Estonia is experiencing a property boom, despite slow economic growth. Construction activity is increasing. Property demand is rising. House price rises continue to accelerate.
During the year to end-May 2015, the average price of apartments in Tallinn, Estonias capital, soared by 12.33% (12.43% inflation-adjusted) to 1,549 per square meter (sq. m), according to Ober Haus Real Estate Advisors. During the latest quarter, apartment prices in Tallinn rose by 4.17% (3.06% inflation-adjusted).
This is in line with figures released by Statistics Estonia, which shows that the average purchase price of dwellings in the whole country rose by 11.04% (12.04% inflation-adjusted) in the first quarter of 2015 from a year earlier, to 1,032 per sq. m.
However, the national figures do not reflect the movements of house prices in each of the countrys major cities during the year to end-Q1 2015:
After Estonia´s amazing 36% annual house price rises from 2004 to 2006, prices of dwellings started to fall in 2007, partly due to the global financial meltdown.
After these 3 horrendous years, a house price recovery began in the second half of 2010, with the average price of dwellings rising modestly by 4.1% (-1% inflation-adjusted). In 2011, nationwide house prices soared by 12.3% (7.9% inflation-adjusted). In 2013, house prices surged 14.5% (12.9% inflation-adjusted), after rising by 5.4% (1.6% inflation-adjusted) in 2012. In 2014 property prices continued to rise, with house prices rising by 8.46% (8.95% inflation-adjusted).
Estonias housing market is expected to remain robust this year, according to local property experts.
Estonia´s economy is expected to grow modestly by 2.5% this year, after real GDP growth rates of 2.1% in 2014, 1.6% in 2013, 4.7% in 2012, and 8.3% in 2011, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Estonias housing market was in continuous boom from 2000 to 2007. This was due to the following factors:
Demand for properties in Tallinn reached an all-time high in 2006, with foreigners attracted by the citys potential. Tallinn accounted for more than half of all real estate transactions in Estonia.
House prices in Estonia rose by double-digit levels from 2000 to 2007. In Tallinn, the average price of 2 room flats rose by an average of 27% annually from 2001 to 2005. House price growth accelerated in 2006, with prices rising by more than 50% y-o-y.
The average price of 2-room flats in Tallinn rose by 448.7% from 2000 to 2007, in Tartu prices rose 431.5% and in Parnu 440%. Prices of three-room flats were equally impressive, rising 412% in Tallinn, 481% in Tartu, and 471.5% in Parnu.
Meanwhile owner-occupancy rates rose strongly, up from 85% in 2002, to 96% in 2004. The rental market shrank from 12% of households (with 9% privately renting and 3% in social rents) in 2002, to just 4% in 2004.
The house price falls in Estonia in 2008 were among the biggest in the world, rivalled only by Latvia. These falls were in sharp contrast to enormous annual price increases in the past, peaking at an annual price increase of 77.5% during the year to end-Q1 2006.
However house prices have seen robust annual increases since the housing market bounced back in 2010.
In 2014, the number of purchase-sale contracts stood at 44,964 units, up by 7.45% from a year earlier and the highest level since 2007, according to Statistics Estonia. Likewise, the value of contracts also surged by 12.3% to 2.3 billion over the same period.
There were about 10,262 sales contracts registered in the first quarter of 2015, almost unchanged from a year earlier. On the other hand, the value of contracts skyrocketed by 19.2% y-o-y to 593.7 million in Q1 2015.
After the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, housing construction in Estonia dramatically decelerated.
From 1996 to 2001 less than 1,000 dwellings were added to the dwelling stock annually - not enough to meet demand. Most apartments were sold before completion.
In 2001, housing construction started accelerating. Developers mainly built suburban homes and luxury apartments for middle to upper class Estonians seeking to upgrade from their Soviet-era block buildings.
However, construction activity declined sharply in 2008, due to the global crisis. Dwelling completions plunged 25% y-o-y to 5,300 units in 2009. From 2010 to 2013, construction activity remained depressed, with dwelling completions averaged just over 2,000 per year. Then in 2014, dwelling completions rose by 32.5% y-o-y to about 2,800 units, though it remains far below the pre-crisis levels. In the first quarter of 2015, dwelling completions surged 24.1% from the same period last year, to 973 units.
The house price boom was supported by a massive expansion of the mortgage market, growing by an average of 62% yearly from 2002 to 2006.
Outstanding housing loans grew from 4.4% of GDP in 2000, to 43.2% of GDP in 2009 (from 274.2 million in 2000 to 6.1 billion in 2009), based on figures from Bank of Estonia.
The mortgage market boom was pushed by:
At the peak of the boom, banks were willing to provide loans with a maximum lending period of 30 years, and a loan-to-value ratio of 100%.
However, from 2009 to 2012, the mortgage market saw a decline, with housing loans falling by an average of 1.5% annually. Then in 2014, housing loans outstanding rose by 2.85% from a year earlier, after a miniscule growth of 0.9% in 2013.
In May 2015, the total value of outstanding housing loans rose by 3.6% to 6.14 billion from the same period last year, based on figures from the Bank of Estonia. Likewise, the number of housing loans granted to households also increased 2% to 164,687 over the same period.
One of the factors that contributed to mortgage and house price boom was the pegging of the Estonian kroon to the deutschemark in 1992 and eventually to the euro in 2001. In June 2004, Estonia entered ERM 2 in preparation for the eventual adoption of the euro. Although the kroon is allowed to fluctuate within a 15% band, Estonia preferred a peg of EEK 15.6466 per euro. This led to lower inflation and lower interest rates.
Mortgage interest rates fell from over 10% during the late-1990s, to below 4% between 2004 and 2006. Estonia managed to bring down inflation from 89% in 1992 to the single-digit level of 8.2% in 1998. Between 2002 and 2006, inflation was below 4.5% (an average of 3.3%).
As a consequence of the peg to the euro, interest rates in Estonia followed key rates set by the European Central Bank (ECB). Hence when the ECB began to raise key rates in mid-2005, mortgage rates also increased in Estonia. ECB base rates were gradually raised in 25 basis point steps, from 2% in October 2005 to 4% in May 2007, and again to 4.25% in July 2008.
By November 2008, the interest rates for kroon denominated housing loans rose to 7.37%. For euro denominated loans, housing loan rates rose to 6.27% in October 2008. These interest rate hikes proved too much for Estonias housing market to bear and contributed to massive house price falls.
In an effort to ease the credit crunch and economic downturn, the ECB reduced key interest rates. It adjusted the key rate successively from 4.25% in September 2008 to 1% in May 2009, where the rate has remained until now. With this, the euro housing loan rate fell to 3.43% in February 2010.
In 2010, the country successfully fulfilled all the Maastricht criteria, which are required to join the euro zone. Effective 1 January 2011, the euro became the official currency of Estonia. The changeover to the euro was expected to support economic stability, boost business and investor confidence, and the living standard of Estonian people, among others.
Interest rates in Estonia continued to follow key rates set by the ECB. In September 2014, the ECB slashed the key rate by 10 basis points to a record low of 0.05%, the second rate cut for the year. It remained unchanged since then.
In March 2015, the average interest rate for housing loans dropped to 2.2% from 2.55% a year earlier.
Gross rental yields from apartments in Tallinn are poor to moderate, ranging from 4.28% to 6.05%, according to Global Property Guide research conducted in July 2014.
Smaller apartments tend to earn higher rental returns. A 45 sq. m. apartment has moderate to good rental yields at 6.05%, whereas a 120 sq. m. apartment earns poorer rental yields at 4.28%.
From 2000 to 2006, Estonias economy expanded by an average of 8% annually, including resounding 10.4% GDP growth in 2006, and 9.5% growth in 2005. In 2007, GDP growth was 7.9%, one of the highest growth rates in the EU. Unemployment fell from 13% in 2000, to just 4.6% in 2007.
The economy contracted by 5.3% in 2008, and by a staggering 14.7% in 2009. As the country fell deeper into recession, the government cut spending by about 7.8% in 2009. It kept its income tax rates low, but hiked VAT by 2% to 20% in July 2009. By 2010 Estonian unemployment had risen to 16.7%.
The economy recovered in 2010 with GDP growth of 2.5% and a fiscal budget surplus. In January 2011, Estonia was the first country since the financial crisis to join the Eurozone.
Estonia had astounding growth of 8.3% in 2011, with strong exports. Unemployment fell to 12.3%. Then in 2012, the economy expanded by 4.7%, bolstered by construction and export growth.
However, the economy slowed sharply in 2013, with real GDP growth rate of just 1.6%, mainly due to the high reference base of government sector investments, weakness of exports and rising inflation.
Estonia´s economy grew by 2.1% in 2014 and is expected to expand by another 2.5% this year, according to the IMF.
Unemployment was down to 7% in 2014, from 8.6% in the previous year. During the first quarter of 2015, nationwide unemployment rate stood at 6.6%, up from 6.3% but down from 8.5% in a year earlier, according to Statistics Estonia. Thejobless rate is expected to remain unchanged, at 7% this year.
In 2014, the average monthly gross wages and salaries rose by 5.9% y-o-y to 1,005 while the average hourly gross wages and salaries also increased 7.2% y-o-y to 6.14, according to Statistics Estonia. Yet inflation is expected to remain low at 0.4% in 2015.
In 2014, Estonia registered a government surplus of about 121 million or 0.6% of GDP, from deficits of 40 million in 2013 and 39 million in 2012, according to Eurostat.
Estonia had the smallest national debt level across the European Union, at just 2.07 billion or 10.6% of GDP last year.

Seminar: People's participation in local governance stressed
September 24, 2013-ISLAMABAD: With the return of civilian rule, challenges for democratic forces to realise the importance of local governments continue to instigate public debate.
At a seminar, "Citizens' Participation in Local Governance," civil society representatives discussed the implications of the 18th Amendment on governance and decentralisation of democracy. They suggested the government indicate a time frame for local bodies elections.
Author of a report, "Bridging Development Deficits through Democratic Decentralisation-post 18th Amendment framework for Local Governance in Pakistan," Amjad Bhatti of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) explained that local governance has only been seen under military regimes whose conflict with civilian governments have left us with an inadequate framework. Resultantly, a trickle-down approach has not made this process a success.

On June 1, Opera Saratoga (formerly Lake George Opera) will kick off it's month-long summer festival.
A favorite summer tradition of many Saratogians is the Freihofer's Jazz Festival. Today, the New York State Senate adopted a resolution commemorating the 35th Anniversary of the Jazz Festival and proclaimed June to be "Jazz Month."
The Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) will be making some changes to give guests a better experience at their events.
Famed singer-songwriter Don McLean will perform this June at the SaratogaArtsFest in the Arthur Zankel Music Center at Skidmore College.
Early details are out for the Inaugural Parrothead Festival happening at the Saratoga County Fairgrounds this June. Escape to the Islands, and enjoy an authentic Jimmy Buffet experience!
Good things come in threes... better things come in fours. This is the 4th festival that comes to Saratoga from the masterminds at Saratoga Festivals, LLC.
First there was Saratoga Brewfest and Oktobeerfest, then we saw the Inaugural Saratoga Beer Week (another huge success), and now along comes the 1st Annual Parrothead Festival to possibly steal the show.
For the first time in a quarter of a century, New York City Ballet dancers will perform in conjunction with the Philadelphia Orchestra at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs this August for a spectacular night of performance of the highest caliber.
Forget the winter blues, I'm talking about the summertime blues! SPAC has just announced the 2012 Freihofer's Jazz Fest lineup and it's got me dreaming of warm weather and smooth music.

A meteor shower spawned by history's most famous comet will peak this weekend, and the show could be dazzling for observers with clear skies, experts say.
Astrophotographer Jeff Berkes snapped this amazing photo of an Orionid meteor streaking above a lake in Elverson, Pa., on Oct. 22, 2011, during the peak of the annual Orionid meteor shower. CREDIT: Jeff Berkes
The Orionid meteor shower will reach its zenith overnight from Saturday to Sunday (Oct. 20-21) as Earth plows through debris shed by Halley's Comet on its path around the sun. The most impressive display should come a few hours before dawn Sunday, when our planet hits the densest patch of Halley's detritus.
"Flakes of comet dust hitting the atmosphere should give us dozens of meteors per hour," Bill Cooke, head of the Meteoroid Environment Office at NASA's Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., said in a statement.
The moon will be just five days removed from its new phase on Saturday night, and it won't show up in the pre-dawn skies early Sunday. So bright moonlight shouldn't drown out many streaking meteors this weekend, researchers said.
The Orionids — so named because they appear to originate near Betelgeuse, the second-brightest star in the constellation Orion (The Hunter) — have historically produced about 20 meteors per hour during their peak. However, the shower has been especially impressive in the last half-decade or so, Cooke said.
"Since 2006, the Orionids have been one of the best showers of the year, with counts of 60 or more meteors per hour," he said.
Skywatchers who want to learn more about the Orionids and how to observe them this weekend can join Cooke and his team in a live web chat overnight Saturday, from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. EDT (0300 to 0700 GMT Sunday). Go to this web page at the appointed time to participate.
The Orionids are one of two annual meteor showers produced by icy pieces of Halley's Comet. The other shower, called the Eta Aquarids, peaks each year in early May.
Halley's Comet returns to the inner solar system every 75 or 76 years, and it's bright enough to be seen by the naked eye. The comet's last appearance in our skies came in 1986, and the next is due in 2061.
In 1705, English astronomer Edmond Halley suggested that a comet spotted 1682 was the same one that lit up the sky in both 1531 and 1607. He further predicted it would be back in 1758. When this last appearance did in fact come to pass, the comet was given Halley's name.

A NATION CHALLENGED: INTELLIGENCE; In Hindsight, C.I.A. Sees Flaws That Hindered Efforts on Terror
Published: October 7, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
''There was a real heightened danger toward the end of June and July,'' said one intelligence official. ''The problem we had at the time was that there were all kinds of indications of a serious intent to do harm, but we didn't know where.''
American counterterrorism analysts eventually concluded that an attack might come around the Fourth of July holiday, most likely aimed at American interests overseas.
''We had a floating list of likely places where an attack might take place, some in Europe, some in the Middle East,'' said one American official. ''But the United States was not high on the list then.''
The intelligence suggested that Al Qaeda was hoping to exploit the latest crisis between Israel and the Palestinians in a way not done in the past, perhaps for recruiting and propaganda purposes. Mr. bin Laden, born in Saudi Arabia, has typically focused his anti-American statements on the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia, declaring it a violation of Islamic holy places. Now, in keeping with the rest of the Arab world, he shifted focus to the Palestinian uprising that began in September 2000, American officials believe.
When no July attack occurred, some American officials began to believe that whatever had been in the works had somehow been disrupted or aborted.
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said in an interview last week that ''nobody could ever get the fidelity'' of the summer warnings. It was as if the C.I.A. could hear Mr. bin Laden broadcasting, but could not quite tune in to the right frequency to grasp his intentions.
Today, officials are still divided about the meaning of the summer intelligence. Some officials speculate that the communications traffic was purposefully devised to throw analysts off the trail of the real operation.
But in August, aware of the need for vigilance, the C.I.A. issued another report reminding senior policy makers at the White House, Pentagon and State Department that Al Qaeda was still committed to attacking American interests.
The August report also cautioned that Mr. bin Laden and his network -- blamed for the bombings of two American embassies in East Africa in August 1998 and the bombing of the destroyer Cole in Yemen harbor last October -- were interested in carrying out strikes in the United States. Officials said that warning was coincidence rather than a move based on any intelligence pointing toward the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
''It was more of a background piece, saying that bin Laden was interested in attacking us here,'' said one senior American intelligence official. ''But no one read it as a report saying, watch out, here they come.''
At about the same time that the C.I.A.'s August report was being prepared and delivered, the F.B.I. arrested a French citizen, Zacarias Moussaoui, on immigration charges. Officials at a flight school in Minnesota had called authorities after they became troubled that Mr. Moussaoui was trying to learn how to fly large jet aircraft, but had said he did not need to know how to take off or land.
After Mr. Moussaoui's arrest on Aug. 17, the F.B.I. asked the C.I.A. and French intelligence officials for information about him. French intelligence reported back that he had extremist beliefs and some troubling connections. Indeed, a French antiterrorist task force had an open file on him, saying he had traveled to Afghanistan and Pakistan several times. But American officials say the French did not provide any conclusive connections to a terrorist group like Al Qaeda.
The C.I.A. also ran traces on him, but apparently did not find a connection with Al Qaeda before Sept. 11, officials added.
With strong suspicions but little evidence, F.B.I. headquarters decided not to allow its agents in Minneapolis to open a criminal investigation, or to seek a warrant for secret wiretaps and clandestine physical searches.
Only after Sept. 11 did the F.B.I. search his computer, which disclosed that he had collected information about crop-dusting aircraft.
The reluctance to seek a warrant coincided with a secret internal investigation prompted by Royce C. Lamberth, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which issues the warrants, about past F.B.I. requests for them.
In March, Judge Lamberth complained to Attorney General John Ashcroft about the way the F.B.I. was making applications to the court, and specifically referred to a request for a wiretap related to a member of Hamas, a militant Middle Eastern group. In response, the F.B.I. and the Justice Department opened an internal review.
F.B.I. and Justice Department officials have insisted that the review did not limit the ability to seek wiretaps. But F.B.I. headquarters nonetheless demanded more evidence from its agents in the field before agreeing to pursue an application for surveillance on Mr. Moussaoui.
The failure to investigate Mr. Moussaoui now seems just the kind of missed opportunity and bureaucratic hurdle that Mr. Tenet deplored in his memo.
Another example came in late August, just as the F.B.I. was debating whether to investigate Mr. Moussaoui. The C.I.A. told the Immigration and Naturalization Service that it should place two men, Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, on its watch list to bar entry into the United States. The C.I.A. had earlier determined that Mr. Almihdhar had attended a meeting in Malaysia in January 2000 with people later implicated in the bombing of the Cole. Mr. Alhazmi had later traveled with Mr. Almihdhar to the United States, and so the C.I.A. wanted him added to the watch list too.
After the immigration service responded that both men were already in the country, the F.B.I. was notified and began to search for them. Neither was found before Sept. 11, when they apparently boarded American Airlines flight 77, the plane that the hijackers flew into the Pentagon.
Finally, intelligence officials say, in the days leading up to the hijackings there was a report that a member of Mr. bin Laden's family had been told to move to safety before an impending deadline, before some kind of work was done. Officials declined to provide details of the report, which they now say indicated that an attack was imminent.
Intelligence officials said that Mr. Tenet's memo did not detail specific lapses, but was clearly aimed at making sure they did not continue.
The memo may also represent a recognition that the inevitable post-mortems will eventually find that poor coordination in sharing intelligence was at the heart of the Sept. 11 failure.

Viewing them as property encourages this treatment of them in my opinion. I think that' wrong.
Why? Why should an animal be treated as anything more than mere property?
Being a "living thing" does not place something on the same pedestal as we are on. Uniqueness, predisposition to act in a certain way, none of these things place it on a higher pedestal than an object, except for the fact that you are attached to it. And people are attached to certain types of property in a similar way. It's the definition that fits best, plus it still affords them an adequate level of protection under the law.

Opensource.com Celebrates One-Year Anniversary
Today marks the one-year anniversary of opensource.com, a Red Hat community service that examines how open source principles can and are being applied outside of software development.
"The site was created to engage communities in conversation to learn and explore how the lessons of participation and open source are applied throughout five channels: business, education, law, government and life," says Red Hat in the press release earlier today. According to a post by Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat's president and chief executive officer, in this first year, opensource.com has enjoyed contributions from more than 50 different authors, who wrote over 500 stories that were read 1.3 million times by over 500,000 different people.
"This community has helped plant the seeds, yet there is much left to do. The door is open for the open source way to bring success to non-technology companies, as well as to schools, universities, governments—to the world. I eagerly await the day the open source way becomes the rule rather than the exception. Our hope will be to provide a place where we can shine a light on the progress along the way," continued Whitehurst, in post "Reflections on 1-year of opensource.com".
