College Hockey:Women's D-I picks: Oct. 25
Well, thanks to Colgate getting a win in overtime and Boston University's continued inconsistency, I am now three games back of Arlan in our season picks race. Luckily, I am on top in the NCHC race! And, of course, there's always time to make it up this year (as I did last season). Last week, I went 11-6-1 (.638) to bring my season total to 31-14-5 (.670), while Arlan went 12-5-1 (.694) to move to 34-11-5 (.730) on the year. Let's see if I can chip at Arlan's lead this week.
Friday, Oct. 25
Clarkson at Cornell
Candace: Cornell looked good against Northeastern, and is home. Advantage: Big Red. Cornell 4-2
Arlan: A week ago, I'd have gone with Clarkson, and one's first answer is often the right answer. Cornell 2-1
Quinnipiac at Harvard
Candace: Can the Bobcats prove they belong at the top of the class? Something tells me no. Harvard 4-2
Arlan: Quinnipiac steps up in class and Harvard steps out of the gate. Harvard 3-2
Princeton at Dartmouth
Candace: I honestly don't know what to expect out of this game, so we'll go with home ice. Dartmouth 4-2
Arlan: Dartmouth usually bounces back after losses like the one to BC. Dartmouth 2-1
Friday-Saturday, Oct. 25-26
Providence home-and-home with Northeastern
Candace: I hate picking Providence games. And Northeastern games. And any Hockey East games other than Boston College. Northeastern swept this series last year. They probably won't this season, but to avoid getting the dates wrong, I'll call a sweep. Northeastern 2-1, 2-1
Arlan: The teams played some wild affairs last season, but the Huskies always won. Northeastern 5-2, Providence 2-1
Minnesota at Bemidji State
Candace: Minnesota should continue to roll. Minnesota 4-1, 5-1
Arlan: Of the current WCHA venues, Bemidji State's Sandford Center is where the Gophers have the poorest winning percentage. Minnesota 3-1, 5-1
Minnesota-Duluth at Minnesota State
Candace: The Bulldogs are coming off a disappointing series with Minnesota, and should be up for a sweep to rebound from it. Minnesota-Duluth 4-2, 3-2
Arlan: Must wins for the Bulldogs, but Mankato can be a very tough place to play. Minnesota-Duluth 2-1, 4-2
North Dakota at St. Cloud State
Candace: After a disappointing loss at home to Ohio State, North Dakota needs the points big time. North Dakota 4-2, 4-1
Arlan: UND has taken the last dozen meetings head to head; does that continue? North Dakota 3-2, 7-1
Boston College at Syracuse
Candace: Syracuse has been pretty good so far this year, but I expect the Eagles to take it. Boston College 3-1
Arlan: Syracuse is 0-1-1 in this series, but the teams haven't played in three years. Boston College 3-2
Vermont at Robert Morris
Candace: If there's anything I hate more than picking Providence games, it's picking Robert Morris games. Robert Morris 4-2, 3-2
Arlan: What's more fun than picking a Catamounts/Colonials game? Picking two of them! Robert Morris 2-1, 3-2
Saturday, Oct. 26
St. Lawrence at Cornell
Candace: I expect this to be close, but the Big Red should prevail. Cornell 4-2
Arlan: Can Clarkson soften the Big Red up enough for the Saints to take advantage? Cornell 4-2
Quinnipiac at Dartmouth
Candace: Oh bother. Flip a coin? I'll go with home ice. Dartmouth 2-1
Arlan: As you said, the Bobcats are usually good at winning the games they should, and I think that includes Dartmouth. Quinnipiac 4-2
Princeton at Harvard
Candace: Princeton has played Harvard tough the last few years, but the Crimson have too much. Harvard 3-1
Arlan: The Tigers have been the tricky part of this travel pairing for the Crimson, but not in the last five meetings. Harvard 4-1
Saturday-Sunday, Oct. 26-27
New Hampshire at Penn State
Candace: UNH has been consistently inconsistent, but the Wildcats should have enough for a sweep. New Hampshire 4-2, 4-1
Arlan: If both UNH and Penn State play to potential, the Wildcats should come out on top. New Hampshire 3-1, 4-3
Tuesday, Oct. 29
Boston University at Northeastern
Candace: This is one of those games that I have no idea what to expect. Boston University 4-2
Arlan: Ask me with a minute remaining in this game and I'll probably still get it wrong. Boston University 3-2

The protection you receive from ADT against dangers that are visual, such as criminals and fire, is top-notch. But how are you protected against dangers that are colorless, odorless, and tasteless? Carbon monoxide poisoning is one such danger, and it claims hundreds of lives and sends thousands to the hospital on a yearly basis. In fact, carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States. Advanced ADT monitored home security systems in Bessemer City are also capable of sensing this "silent killer".
Firstly, ADT is a recognized leader in developing innovative home security monitoring technologies that give homeowners in Bessemer City the highest degree of security. ADT practically revolutionized the home security industry, when they unveiled their network of interconnected customer monitoring centers, which remain on the alert 24/7/365. So when you install an ADT monitored home security alarm in North Carolina, you get a device that is incredibly user-friendly but highly-advanced. In addition to the standard home intrusion sensors, ADT alarms also come with the ability to detect additional hazards, such as fire and deadly carbon monoxide.
Due to the features that are included with an ADT Monitored Home Security System in Bessemer City, some homeowners mistakenly assume that such protection will cost an arm and a leg. Because of ADT's expertise in home security monitoring technology, which has been accumulated during their 135 years in business, they have mastered the fine art of combining advanced home security features with an easily affordable price.
You may think that you can't afford a professional-level home alarm system in Bessemer City, but the fact is that you can't afford NOT to have one. With an ADT Monitored Home Security System, you get both a cost that will allow you to comfortably add items to your growing collection of valuables, and a professional level of security that will help keep your valuables well-secured.
Get an ADT monitored security system in Bessemer City NC and help protect your family today.

TORONTO - Joffrey Lupul skated with his Maple Leafs teammates for the first time this training camp after being held out because of back spasms.
Lupul took part in Wednesday's practice after a full day off for the team. The winger did line rushes with Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel and did not appear to be limited at all.
Lupul had been skating at the Leafs' practice facility before camp started but his back tightened up the day before he took his physical, coach Randy Carlyle said last week.
The team said Lupul's status was day to day.
Lupul missed all but 16 games last season with a broken right arm and a concussion. He's entering the first season of a US$26.25-million, five-year contract signed in January.
Enforcer Colton Orr (leg bone bruise) remained off the ice.

College Hockey:Lucia Gets Milestone Victory
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Colorado College head coach Don Lucia earned his 200th career victory Dec. 27 as his Tigers beat the Vermont Catamounts 6-0 at the Badger Hockey Showdown.
The win came in Lucia's tenth season as a head coach, the last four at Colorado College, where he has won an unprecedented three straight WCHA regular-season crowns. The first of those, in 1993-94, earned Lucia the Spencer Penrose Award as national coach of the year from the American College Hockey Coaches' Association. Last season, the Tigers were national runners-up at the NCAA Tournament.
Before coming to CC, Lucia headed up the program at Alaska-Fairbanks, where he compiled four winning seasons in six years. His ten-year overall coaching record stands at 200-132-21, a .596 winning percentage. At CC, he is 97-35-11, a .725 pace.
Lucia's playing background includes two state championships with Grand Rapids (Minn.) High School and four varsity letters with then-WCHA member Notre Dame. He graduated from ND in 1981, having served as team captain his senior year, and was immediately hired at Fairbanks as an assistant coach. He was also an assistant at Alaska-Anchorage for two years before returning to the Nanooks as head coach.
This season, the Tigers are 11-7-1 overall and 10-5-1 in the WCHA, good for third place in the conference and a No. 7 national ranking. CC takes on rival Air Force this Tuesday before returning to league play.

Veteran tailback Ladell Betts won't make an instant impact with the New Orleans Saints. He didn't wear pads for his first practice with the team Tuesday, and he won't play in Saturday night's preseason game against the Houston Texans as he continues to recover from last season's major knee injury.
Coach Sean Payton said Betts will be "eased" back into the mix after not having played or practiced since last November, when he tore both the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in his knee. Betts, who turns 31 this month, said he doesn't know what his timetable will be.
"That's something we'll have to discuss," said the 5-foot-11, 224-pounder, who spent his first eight seasons with the Washington Redskins.
Obviously, the Saints liked the progress they saw when they brought Betts in for a workout two weeks ago and feel he has a shot to contribute in time for the regular season. The physical runner spent most of his career as a between-the-tackles specialist for the Redskins. But he also filled in as the primary back when needed, making 13 career starts with nine career 100-yard rushing games - including a 119-yard effort against the Saints in the Superdome in 2006.
Betts is also an effective pass protector and, if healthy, could fill a role similar to the one filled by Mike Bell in New Orleans last year. He'll have to develop quickly, though, if he wants to unseat young backups P.J. Hill and Chris Ivory for the No. 3 tailback job.

Public Works Department provide a variety of services to citizens, visitors, and businesses daily.
The Public Works Department provides a quality environment for the City of Boston and ensures that the City's roadways, streets and bridge infrastructure are safe, clean, and attractive.
Roadway and sidewalk cleanliness and temporary repair are the responsibility of the Highway Field Operations Division. The Division is a seven-day, twenty-four hour operation, maintaining over fifteen hundred (1,500) miles of City streets. Responsibilities include snow removal, street and sidewalk sweeping, pothole repair, litter basket installation and maintenance, and general temporary repairs that maintain roadways and sidewalks until major repairs are made.
The City of Boston owns approximately 800 miles of paved streets and 1200 miles of sidewalks. The Construction Management Division of Public Works maintains the safety and security of these public right-of-ways. The three major functions of the Construction Management Division are roadway repair and restoration, sidewalk and pedestrian ramp repair, and utility compliance and coordination.
The Waste Reduction Division (formerly Recycling and Sanitation) is responsible for the collection and disposal of residential recyclables, trash, and leaf and yard waste. The Division also holds hazardous waste drop-off days up to four times per year, seasonal paint and motor oil drop-offs, and offers discounted backyard compost bins.
The Street Lighting Division is responsible for providing an adequate, modern, aesthetic, efficient lighting system for all roadways, bridges, underpasses, pedestrian walkways, parks and playgrounds under the control of the City of Boston. The Street Lighting division operates as a clearing house for all street lighting in Boston. Whoever installs or maintains street lighting on City streets, the Division has the final say on design, specifications, construction, and maintenance methods.
The Engineering Division of Public Works oversees contracts for total reconstruction of City streets and sidewalks (as opposed to resurfacing; see Construction Management). Reconstruction includes installation of under-surface street lighting systems, as well as the design and engineering of pedestrian ramps. The Engineering Division also conducts bridge inspections and coordinates bridge reconstruction through MassDOT.The Public Improvement Commission, the board that oversees any changes made to City street definitions,dimensions, naming, or ownership, is also part of Engineering Division.
The Permit Division of Public Works issues permits pertaining to the occupation and/or excavation of the public roadways and sidewalks. Permits include dumpsters, banners, vending, telephone booths, newspaper boxes, sidewalk cafes, filming, and any private or utility cutting into City roadways and sidewalks (including driveways). The Permit Division is located in Room 715 of Boston City Hall and is where permit fees are collected and the permits themselves issued after necessary signage is obtained through the Transportation Department. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, money order, and debit/credit card (Master Card, Visa, Discover Card only).

A recent series on how Jesus prayed in response to his disciples asking him, according to Luke 11:1, to teach them to pray necessitates an objective look at what the Christian Bible actually says about how Jesus prayed. Rather than focus on Jesus' response in words as to what to say when you pray, in Luke 11:2-4, let us examine Jesus's response in actions as to how to pray which is recorded in Matthew 26:36-39.
Frankly, Jesus' purported answer to the disciples' question in Luke 11:2-4 is really not an answer because they ask him a how to pray and he responds with what to say when you pray. The more appropriate response to the 'how' question is in Matthew 26:36-39 which says, "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gesthemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be very sorrowful and heavy. Then saith he unto them, my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and FELL ON HIS FACE, AND PRAYED, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou Wilt."
Here we see that Jesus clearly followed the Muslim practice of prostrating in worship, which is part of the standing, bowing, kneeling, and prostrating that we do when we pray. By following this Muslim practice, Jesus was praying the way the Bible records many other prophets (peace be upon them all), prayed. Consider the following examples:
- Abraham in Genesis 17:1-4 - "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 AND ABRAHAM FELL ON HIS FACE and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations."
- Moses and Aaron in Numbers 20:6 - "And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and THEY FELL UPON THEIR FACES: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them."
- Joshua in Joshua 7:6-7 - "And Joshua rent his clothes, and FELL TO THE EARTH UPON HIS FACE before the ark of the Lord until eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast Thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!"
Furthermore, Revelation 7:11-12 explains that the way we Muslims pray and worship on earth is the way prayer and worship is conducted in heaven for it reads, "And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and FELL BEFORE THE THRONE ON THEIR FACES, AND WORSHIPPED GOD, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Therefore, those who desire to follow the example of how prayer and worship was done by Jesus and other prophets and how prayer and worship is described in the Bible, are encouraged to embrace Islam. The fact that Biblical prophets as well as Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in the same way clearly indicates that Islam is not a new religion. Islam means "submission to the Will of God," which is what Muhammad and the all the prophets before Him taught and showed in the way they lived and prayed.

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford sophomore Inky Ajanaku is touring China with the Pac-12 all-star team. In this edition of her blog, Inky's Chinese Adventure, she talks about the team's stay in Huaian City.
Hey Stanford fans!
We recently left the Huaian Guest House and are heading to Beijing for the second half of our tournament. We played three matches in Huaian City, and one of them ended up being a rematch against the team I played in my first collegiate home match last September- Jiangsu. Although we lost, I feel like we are getting better each match, and I am really excited about the talent we have on this team.
In between matches we had a good amount of time for sightseeing and exploring. The second day we took a taxi bike-cart to the nearest Starbucks. Although we thought we were on the verge of a fatal crash nearly every moment of the ride, seeing the city from the back of a bike-cart was, no doubt, the best way to travel.
When we got to Starbucks we were so happy to finally get consistent wifi and actually have some American drinks. Although the Starbucks was still pretty similar to the ones back home, we also saw our share of squid ink sandwiches and red bean frappucinos. At the end of the night we had the opening ceremonies and dinner with the head of the states and tournament commissioner at a very nice government building.
The third day, we had a packed schedule. We woke up to a full day of sightseeing. We were first taken to meet the person responsible for putting on our tournament. He is apparently one of the richest men in Huaian, and owns the biggest construction company in all of China. We met him in his mansion which was surrounded by an apartment community built by his Evergrande construction company. When we walked up to the house there were many armed guards and photographers following us as we made our way up the stairs to sign the autograph book.
We were then entertained by a group of three women playing ancient Chinese instruments. As the men finished up their speeches, they invited us up to try our hand at the instruments. I personally thought I sounded amazing on the guitar/ piano looking instrument, but looking back on it, I am pretty sure I got more laughs than applause.
After that we went to tour the old prime minister's estate, which was surrounded by beautiful gardens and ancient Chinese architecture. On our last night in Huaian City, the Pac-12 treated us all to full body massages. Led there by our favorite translator, Chen, we were all taken up to the sixth floor of this nice massage parlor where we were separated into rooms of three. After an hour and a half of the super relaxing massages, we all headed back to our hotel to pack up to leave for Beijing at 5 a.m.!
Talk to you all soon from Beijing!

Maksim Chmerkovskiy: I'm Leaving Dancing with the Stars
Maksim Chmerkovskiy is leaving "Dancing with the Stars."
The pro dancer says he'll depart the hit show when his contract runs out at the end of next year.
"What else do I have to do there after 15 seasons?" he tells the New York Post.
He adds, "It makes total sense. The audience can't expect for me to want to stick around, and the producers can't expect for me to want to stick around."
Chmerkovskiy says he plans to pursue opportunities in acting and reality shows.

The dancer says he "loved doing" the ABC competition series, "But to be honest with you, at 32, I am at what-about-me time."
His feelings are exacerbated when Chmerkovskiy sees the bump the show's celebrities get from their appearances.
"Essentially, 80% of our job is to give somebody another push in their career," he tells the Post. "Or we make them into likable characters. But at the end of the day, they go off and they better themselves."
Chmerkovskiy and Kirstie Alley will re-team for "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars," which premieres on Monday.

A series of recordings in cat visual cortex suggest that synchronous activity in neuronal cell ensembles serves to bind the different perceptual qualities belonging to one object. We provide evidence that similar mechanisms seem also to be observable in human subjects for the representation of supramodal entities. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded from 19 scalp electrodes (10/20 system) in 19 human subjects and EEG amplitude and coherence were determined during presentation of objects such as house, tree, ball. Objects were presented in three different ways: in a pictorial presentation, as spoken words and as written words. In order to find correlates of modality-independent processing, we searched for patterns of activation common to all three modalities of presentation. The common pattern turned out to be an increase of coherence between temporal and parietal electrodes in the 13-18 Hz beta1 frequency range. This is evidence that population activity of temporal cortex and parietal cortex shows enhanced coherence during presentation of semantic entities. Coherent activity in this low-frequency range might play a role for binding of multimodal ensembles.

I often come across PDF files with massive margins. And even though the actual content is reasonably small, I am not able to print 2 pages per sheet, because the margins take most of the page and the text becomes tiny.
Is there a way to trim the margins, i.e. get a new PDF file with smaller page size, such that each page is just a pre-defined area of the original pages (e.g. start at 1 cm from the top and from the left, and take 15 cm width and 20 cm height).
I am mainly after a solution working under Linux, but Windows-based answers are also welcome!

Fisher Black MBA Student Association Speaker Series: David R. Jones, founder and CEO of CastleOak Securities
Dean Poon provides testimony to Ohio legislative committee
Dean Chris Poon testified before Ohio lawmakers at hearings on House Bill 1, which authorizes creation of JobsOhio.
"Ohio State's responsibilities reach from the dorm room to the board room," Poon said at the hearing. "Our land grant mission is at the heart of an inextricable relationship between the university and the economic health of our state." Among those testifying on Jan. 26 along with the dean were Stephen Rasmussen, CEO of Nationwide, and Bruce Langos, chief operating officer of Dayton-based Teradata Corp.
Earlier in January, Gov. John Kasich visited campus to announce the appointment of Mark Kvamme as director of the Ohio Department of Development.
"It is not by accident that Gov. Kasich selected Dr. Michael Camp's entrepreneurship class as the setting to announce what can only be described as a new and innovative approach to state development leadership in Ohio," she told legislators. Read More >>
Mason Hall renovation to begin in March
Renovation of Mason Hall, which will increase space for student activities and offices, is scheduled to begin in March. The new building design will focus many of Fisher's action-learning and collaborative activities by reconfiguring and expanding space to house the International Programs Office, Fisher Professional Services, Center for Entrepreneurship and the Technology Commercialization Center.
The renovation will add conference space and breakout rooms for students, career management and special events, such as case competitions, all surrounding a new café. The former reading room in the rotunda space on the second floor will be transformed into a multipurpose room, holding special functions, lectures, board meetings and receptions while the fourth floor will be converted to new classroom space. Mason's current study spaces, the computer labs and the Office of Information Technology Services will remain in their present locations.
One significant change that is being included in the project will be to the exterior landscape. According to David Greenberger, who is chairing the renovation project, Ohio State requires that all new construction projects include a "civic structure." A landscape designer, working with our lead architectural firm, the same Boston-based firm that originally designed Mason Hall, is developing plans for outdoor tables with umbrellas, new walkways and floral gardens.
Record number participate in Fisher Winter Games
The MAcc dodgeball team "Bad Assets" takes aim at faculty and staff during the Fisher Winter Games at Ohio State's Recreation and Physical Activities Center on Friday, Jan. 28.
Graduate students, faculty and staff competed against each other in volleyball, basketball and dodgeball.
"In recent memory this was one of the largest winter games we have ever had by sheer number of teams and programs represented," said Paul Proffitt, of the Office of Information Technology Services and one of the games' organizers. "The logistics of pulling off this event is by no means easy, but the staff from Student Services in the GPO along with their GA's and volunteers make it seem that way."
FPS ProjectONE case competition team meet with Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee
Fisher Professional Services Director Kurtis Roush (Left to Right) and Fall Quarter ProjectONE winning team Robert Cleveland (MBA), Elisabeth Burk (MBLE), Kiel Kennedy (MBA), Steve Rambo (MBA), and Dana Wagner (MLHR), pose with Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee (center).
Project One is the annual on boarding project for students to join the on-campus consultancy, Fisher Professional Services. Students were assigned to teams of five to seven people and given 10 weeks to work on a live business case for the project sponsor, Mac Tools.
A subsidiary of Stanley Black and Decker headquartered in Westerville, Mac Tools charged the 18 teams with the task of evaluating their business model, which uses individual distributors and provide recommendations detailing how to increase this distributor base. Teams presented their findings to Mac Tools' staff, who indicated they may implement some of the recommended changes.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about innovation for health? DNA tests? Smart phones? How about ponies? In Lesotho, these four-legged vehicles might just be the best idea yet.
Lesotho is a tiny country landlocked within South Africa. It has 2 million people, mostly living in rural areas, and a geographic size about the same as Maryland. Despite its small size, it has big HIV statistics. One in four adults is HIV-positive, and more than 20,000 people are newly infected each year. Many people live in mountainous areas that are connected to larger towns and cities by a network of winding and unreliable roads.
Small clinics in the mountains serve as crucial outposts for health care. The roads to the mountains, however, are often unusable due to heavy summer rains and winter snowstorms. Clinics consequently can't order lab tests or receive a steady flow of drugs and supplies for four months per year or more. HIV patients, who need medication daily, and those seeking their HIV status, can't wait that long.
To fill this need, the U.S. Government supports the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) to collaborate on an innovative way to reach those in need in Lesotho. The Horse Riding for Health program engages local pony riders - selected with input from the community - to transport blood tests, drugs, and supplies between remote mountain health clinics and better-equipped hospitals at sea level. The transport system allows people to receive HIV test results sooner, access life-saving drugs, and ensure an uninterrupted supply of medication.
When roads are navigable by two-wheels, motorcycle riders join the journey to further speed the process of rushing blood to the lab or medication to people living with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho's remote mountainous terrain.
The benefits aren't limited to individuals receiving care; research shows that faster diagnosis and treatment for HIV leads to fewer future cases in the community. This is partly because if people know their HIV status, they are less likely to transmit the disease to others. For a pregnant woman, access to an HIV test and results can be the difference between life and death for her baby.
Just a few years ago, even if expectant mothers knew they were HIV-positive, all they could do was hope for the best. In addition to improving transportation systems, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and EGPAF have rolled out comprehensive services to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission throughout Lesotho. Today, 80 percent of mothers have access to treatment and counseling programs that can allow their babies to be born HIV-free.
These efforts support the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program that was initiated in 2005 by Lesotho's Ministry of Health. Since its inception, at least 70 percent of HIV-positive mothers have given birth to HIV-negative babies, according to the health ministry. This program is a living example of how a coherent antiretroviral treatment program can help HIV-positive mothers give birth to healthy babies.
Lesotho's Health Minister Mphu Ramatlapeng stated, "Our success in PMTCT is notable. More than 70 out of 100 HIV-positive mothers access PMTCT. We are getting close to 100 percent coverage in one or two years...We stand with pride in various national, sub-region and international meetings to give testimony of how much Lesotho has succeeded in the fight against HIV and Aids."

The Missing Rationale
There's been a lot of highly critical commentary over the last few days about the thundering absence of any clear policy rationale underlying the $100 billion or so in reductions in the economic stimulus package secured by the so-called "centrist" group of senators. Today's Washington Post op-ed by one of that group, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) hasn't exactly helped matters.
Yes, Specter cites a couple of cuts (Title I education spending, preventive health measure) and suggests that they represent types of spending that would be nice, but can't be afforded right now. Why? Because they add up to the amount of money that Specter and company have arbitrarily decided must be cut from the legislation. It's a classic example of circular reasoning. Or if you prefer, as Ross Douthat put it, Spector possesses a "mind incapable of thinking about policy in any terms save these: Take what the party in power wants, subtract as much money as you can without infuriating them, vote yes, and declare victory." Similarly, Jonathan Chait observes:
It's not like there's some firm cap that forced the Senate to cut helpful spending programs. The cap is there because Specter decided to put it there, an act that flies in the face of the very economic theory that justifies the bill in the first place.
More specifically, unless I've missed it, the "centrist" group has yet to offer any sort of explanation for why aid to budget-strapped state governments took such a conspicuous hit in their "compromise." I mean, the fiscal crises affecting nearly all of the states are real. The recession-deepening cuts they are already making in personnel, in infrastructure programs, and in direct services to low-income Americans, are very real. Do the "centrists" think there's enough money in the package as amended to head off these highly unhelpful developments, or do they just not care? Who knows?
A cynic might observe that all of the four senators that Arlen Specter identifies as the organizers of the "centrist" coup-by-amendment--himself, Ben Nelson, Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman--happen to come from states where the governor is of the other party.
But another factor, particularly given the timing, might have been a strange little statement put out by the Republican Governors' Association last Thursday urging Congress to reject the stimulus legislation entirely, because governors really didn't need the money. In quotes from RGA chairman Mark Sanford of SC, Gov. Sarah Palin of AK, Gov. Rick Perry of TX, Gov. Bobby Jindal of LA, and Gov. Haley Barbour of MS, the statement complained vaguely about "strings and mandates" accompanying the bill (although much of it either increases the federal share of costs for existing programs, or, in the case of the single largest program killed by the "centrists," made $25 billion available for absolutely anything the states wanted to do), and called instead for tax cuts. This maneuver was obviously intended to undercut a statement made a week or so earlier by the bipartisan National Governors' Association asking Congress to act quickly on the stimulus legislation--and noting the urgency of aid to states--and scattered press reports that many Republican governors were at least privately expressing support to Obama.
Mark Sanford has been so adamant in his opposition to what he calls a "bailout" of the states that Rep. Jim Clyburn from SC secured language in the House version of the stimulus bill allowing state legislatures to bypass governors and apply for federal assistance if the governor refuses to do so.
I don't know if the "centrist" senators or their staffs read any of this "don't help us" stuff, but it makes about as much sense as any other explanation of the specific steps they took to reshape the stimulus legislation.

Listening to the sounds of slippery slopes
Nov 5, 2010 1 comment
This video shows the dramatic landslide that occurred on 17 October in the clays at Port Chibatao in Manaus, Brazil
Transport networks and vulnerable communities at the bottom of slopes could benefit from a landslide early warning system that monitors the noise levels within soil. Claimed to be the first of its kind in the world, it works by monitoring sound to establish whether a large-scale slip is imminent so that measures can be taken.
Worldwide, many thousands of people die each year as a result of slope failures and many others are left homeless without access to basic supplies. In more developed countries, the risk to people's lives tends to be smaller but the impact on the built environment costs billions of dollars to repair each year, and it can be highly disruptive to transport networks. In an attempt to limit this global hazard, the United Nations has drawn up a strategy, which includes a plan to promote the development of early warning systems.
One way to monitor the risk in real-time is to equip a slope with an array of microphones and to "listen" for increased noise levels as soils begin to move. The trouble with this method is that the relatively low frequencies associated with large-scale slope movements can also be produced by a number of other environmental sources – leading to an unacceptable number of false alarms.
But researchers in the UK believe they can offer a more reliable acoustic monitoring system through an interesting spin on the technique. Instead of positioning acoustic sensors directly onto the slope, they place their microphones within steel tubes that are then in-filled with granular material. Then, if slopes do begin to slip, the sounds produced by the jostling granular material are at higher frequencies than those generated by the surrounding soil. The steel tubes act as a waveguide to amplify the sound.
Field trials
To test its device, the team led by Neil Dixon at Loughborough University carried out a series of tests at Hollin Hill, an active landslide in northern England. By comparing its measurements with traditional slope measurements taken using an inclinometer, Dixon's team says it found strong correlation between acoustic emission and slope displacement. "Hollin Hill provided us with a controlled environment to test our device, the next stage is to trial this on different types of slope and eventually use it as a means of predicting landslides," explains Dixon.
Vulnerable people are often more exposed to the risk of landslides and other hazards, due to a lack of knowledge or lack of choice Ed Phillips, Practical Action
In the short term, Dixon's team is seeking to work with railways, buses and other transport companies, which currently account for more than half of the purchases of landslide monitoring systems in the UK. "At present, most systems require a person to go out into the field to check a monitoring device – we are offering a system that can relay information in real-time, for example a text message," says Dixon.
If the technique can become established, Dixon hopes that the technology can be transferred to developing countries, particularly to tropical regions where heavy rainfall and earthquake activity can leave slopes vulnerable to failure. Dixon envisages a simplified version of the system where the acoustic microsensors are connected to an audible alarm system rather than an electronic communications network.
The development is welcomed Ed Phillips, a spokesperson at Practical Action, a charity that promotes technology for development, who points out that people in the developing world are often more vulnerable to landslides. "Vulnerable people are often more exposed to the risk of landslides and other hazards, due to a lack of knowledge or lack of choice – for example building their homes on steep slopes."
More landslides to come
According to many climate researchers, the frequency and extent of landslides could increase dramatically in certain parts of the world in the coming years. "It is fair to say that a changing climate could include more extreme rainfall events, and those in turn could lead to more landslides," says Tim Lenton, an earth systems researcher at the University of East Anglia, UK.
This is a view shared by Richard Jardine, a geomechanics researcher at Imperial College London. "It will probably be greatest in degrading permafrost regions. The impact may be greatest in high mountain areas – Alps, Andes, Himalayas etc – or in regions with weak rocks and soils, such as parts of Siberia, Alaska or Canada. And also in warmer areas where we have steep slopes and high rainfall already such as Central America, Brazil, or China," he says.
This research is part of an ongoing project involving Loughborough University and the British geological Survey called: assessment of landslides using an acoustic real-time monitoring system (ALARMS).

I picked up a TCP at a gunshow a couple of weeks ago, got my first chance to try it out today.
Put 70 rounds through it - 50 of 100gr ball from an independent manuf. (gunshow purchase) and 20 rounds of Magtech 77gr HP's.
From 7-10 yards it shoots about 4" low. Recoil was not bad at all considering the size & weight of the gun.
Before shooting, I painted the front sight orange and the rear sight flat black just to make them more visible to my old eyes.
One magazine (gun comes with two) would lock the slide back after five rounds, the other worked flawlessly. While giving the gun it's initial cleaning, I disassembled one mag, cleaned and lubed it but not the other one. I'm guessing the uncleaned one was the problem child. After the third or fourth loading it functioned fine.
Had one FTF with the ball ammo, I'll write that off to an ammo problem rather than a fault with the gun itself.
Overall I'm pleased with the little bugger. I need to put more ammo downrange with it, but at $1.00 a round for premium ammo (when you can find it!) it may be a while before that happens.

Ordered to Jacksonville.
CIIICKAMAUGA, GA., June 19, 1898.
Col. Alston has received orders to
equip his Regiment and report to Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee at Jacksonville, Fla.,
as soon as possible. Thc news was
received with rejoicing by the men,
and they are taking more interest than
ever in drilling so as to be in readi

Messrs. H. C. Daggett, T. Page and
Milledge Bonhara were transferred
from Company H to Company C on
Friday last. These gentlemen re
ceived a cordial welcome from the
men, and I am sure will be a credit to
the Company.
Company C has been honored in the
appointment of Private J. B. Dodd to
the position of Regimental Bugler.
It has rained almost every day since
Sunday last, and these rains have laid
the dust and cooled the atmosphere
until it is a pleasure to drill.
Our Regimental Band now compares
favorably with any band at Camp
Thomas, aud the music it dispenses
each morning and evening is much
eojoyed by the men in camp.
Capt. H. H. Watkins is ill with a
slight attack of malarial fever, but it
is hoped will soon recover.
Quartermaster Johnson has cstab
lished a Company store at the end of
our street, and has stocked it with
peanuts, syrup and other things to
sell to the soldiers, the profits to go
to the Company fund.
On Friday evening Lieut. Grant
commanded Company C at brigade
drill and acquitted himself with all
the skill and ease of a veteran com
mander, and the members of the Com
pany were complimented for the quick
ness and precisiou with which they
obeyed thc commands.

Havana Not to be Attacked by Less
Tuan 100,000 Men.
WASHINGTON, June 18.-The origi
nal plans of campaign for the conduct
of the war against Spain will be ad
hered to, and will bc pushed with
vigor and energy. That decision was
reached at a war council held at thc
White House to day, at which were
present President McKinley. Secre
taries Alger and Long, Gen. Miles,
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Ad
miral Sicard and Capt. Malian. Of
course there will be some slight modi
fications made uecessary by the
changes that have occurred since thc
beginning of hostilities, but these,
after all, will not affect the general
plans of operations. Gen. Miles re
turned from Florida with information
respecting the condition of troops,
difficulties to be expected in the pro
gress of the change and needs in the
matter of transportation facilities that
would be freely availed of to correct
the defects in the preseut system as
has developed. The conference wa?
entirely harmonious. The only reason
that thc commanding general did not
visit the White Hou*e yesterday was
because of a desire on the President's
part that his war councillors should
have the benefit of Gen. Miles' recital
of his observations at fir6t hands.
The stories that there has been
friction between Gen. Miles and his
official superiors are pronounced to be
absurd by all concerned, and to-day
proceedings gave ample evidence of
the fact that the utmost harmony
characterizes the relations between
the Chief Executive and the military
branch of the Government. There
were, of course, some differences of
opinion among the persous present at
the war council, but there has been no
disposition in any quarter to resist for
an instant any concession which has
secured the approval of the Presi
The official declaration to the effect
that the campaign is to be pushed
with vigor does not necessarily mean
an immediate attack on Havana, al
though such advice has been tendered.
It does mean that the very best efforts
are to be put'fourth to get the army
in condition where it can be used with
overwhelming effect at auy point or
points at almost a moment's notice.
To this end the troops now in camp
are to be thoroughly trained and
hardened, aud when they leave the
United States their equipment will be
the best a soldier can have, fit for any
season, wet or dry, cold or hot. With
such an army at command, numbering
no less than 100,000, the fate of
Havana cannot long remain in doubt
when once this army is hurled upon it.
Meanwhile the smaller expedition
ary movements are to go forward un
interruptedly. When Santiago is
captured the traiued regulars, who do
the work there will be pushed on to
Porto Rico. If ali or most of them
are needed for this expedition then
the "provisional force," referred to
by Gen, Shafter iu his orders, prob
ably will be dispatched immediately
from the United States to garrison the
town of Sautiago and to relieve the reg
Probably knowledge of some such
intention has led to the rumor which
found free currency to-day, to the
affect that 4,000 uieD from Gen. Gra
ham's camp had been ordered to pro
ceed immediately to reinforce Shafter
at Santiago, making the passage on
the bigoceau liners Harvard and Yale,
late the New York and Paris, which
are now ID Hampton Roads.
As a matter of fact Secretary Alger
said this afternoon that he bad as yet
given no orders for the sending of
troops away from Camp Alger, nor
had he ordered auy extensive move
ment elsewhere. The rooms of Secre
tary Alger were thronged to-day by
friends of the many candidates for
appointment from civil life as second
lieutenant in thc army. There are to
be 200 of these appointments, and it
was announced this afternoon that
they would be made public in the
newspapers Monday morning.
Straight From Gomez.
NKW YORK, June 18-Capt. Rafael
Conte of the Cuban army has arrived
at the headquarters of the Cuban jun
ta of this city with dispatches from
Gen. Gomez. He was accompanied by
a lieutenant of the army of liberation.
Capt. Conte and his companion left
Gomez ^n Las Villas. The general
then had wi th him a body guard of only
60 men-a cavalry escort. There was
little food in the region where Gomez
was making his headquarters, so he
did not mass any large number of men
there, but spread them over a large
extent of territory and directed their
movements from his headquarters.
He has all the necessary arrange
ments made for the concentration of
the troops when the proper time comes,
but keeps them scattered and employ
ed in a guernla warfare iu the mean
time so that they may find food.
The captain claims that Gomez can
concentrate 30,000 armed men in a
short time at any p ?int where it is de
sirable. There are several thousand
more men who arc attached to G omez's
army, and are only waiting for arms
to be available for defeusive or offen
sive operations.
In a skirmish with guerillas about
three weeks ago Gomez was wounded
in the left arm by a Mauser bullet.
The wound healed quickly, however, in
spite of the general's advanced agc,
and when the-captain left headquar
ters thc old chief was able to usc his
arm as well as before he was hit.

A Stampede in Camp at Tampa.
WASHINGTON, June lb".-A special
to the Post from Tampa says: At 10
o'clock tonight 3,000 horses and mules
broke from their corrals and stampeded
through the camps of Gen. Carpenter's
brigade. It was so dark and the
excitement was so great in the District
of Columbia camp that it was impos
sible to learn if any men were hurt.
The panic among the men was terrible.
Officers tried to get their companies
into line, but the army of wild horses
made that impossible. Many men
began shooting at the excited animals,
but this only excited them more. It
seems impossible to stop the stampede
tonight. The horses seemed to be
attracted by the tents, and they rush
ed through the brigade of three regi
ments and then back again, taking a
different course each time. They
have already destroyed many tents,
kitchen and camping paraphernalia.
It is not known what started the
animals on their wild rush. Taps had
just sounded in all the camps, and the
bands had played their good-nights.
The men were hardly asleep, when a
loud cracking, like the fire of a Gatling
gun, startled them. It was the break
ing down of the corral fence, a high
wooden affair. In the next moment
the excited and panting'horses rushed
into the New York camp, which was
nearest the break in the fence. The
rush pounded like a thunder storm.
The New York camp's sentinels began
to yell like mad men: "Call out the
guards !" "Cail out the guards!"
The guard hurried out, but it was
useless, as the animals were then
rushing over everything in their path.
In half an hour the camps had been
stampeded several times, and there
seemed to be no hope of driving the
beasts away from the beach. Forty
men were mounted by ll o'clock, and
they were able to check the rush some
little, or, at least, to steer the horses
from the camp.
Ready to Land.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-It is stated
officially that there is now no doubt
..hat General Shaffer's military expe
dition has arrived safely off Santiago
by this time.
It is not admitted that advices to
that effect have been received, but it
is presumed that the war officials
speak from knowledge.
According to the plans arranged for
the debarkation, the fleet of transports
is to lie in a safe place until Sampson
has cleared the way for a landing.
The selection of thc lauding place
has been left entirely to the judgment
of Admiral Sampson and General
Shafter, the military commander, and
the first business in order, upon the
arrival of the transport fleet off Santi
ago would be, it is said, a war council
between Admiral Sampson and some
of his naval captains on the one hand
and Major General Shafter and his
staff on the other, the purpose being
to settle all the details of the debark
ation. Meanwhile the fleet of trans
ports would lay at sea at least ten
miles beyond the blockading squadron
iu order to be entirely safe from attack
by Spanish torpedo boats.
A great deal depends on the point
selected for the landing. It was
thought that Aguadores, to the east of
Morro, about six or eight miles, would
be a likely lauding in view of the fact
that it has a wharf, the property of an
iron ore company, which would bc
extremely useful for landina: the heavy
supplies and ordnance of thc siege
trains, lt is reported now, however,
that this particular wharf has been
CMiinieiiued by Spanish batteries,
which have been so placed as to giv?
an enfilading lire upon it. If this ht

Sasha Pivovarova
Moscow, Russia
"In Russia, we have proverb: Only bad soldiers don't want to be general."
- Sasha Pivovarova
Sasha Pivovarova is a blonde Russian model who has made history by being the face of Prada for six consecutive seasons. Having also appeared on the cover of Vogue in May 2007, in an issue that explored the new generation of supermodels, Sasha Pivovarova currently sits at the top of the modeling industry.
Off stage, on the other hand, Sasha Pivovarova is a shy and very playful girl, and when she smiles, her eyes seem to dance as her personality warms up. There is, however, something about her type of model perfection that allows her to look gorgeous and ghostly at the same time.
Since then, Sasha Pivovarova has been the face of Prada, appearing in nine Prada ads; she has strolled down the catwalk for big-league brands and designers like Chanel, Nina Ricci, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Miu Miu, and Gucci, to name but a few, and she has also been on the cover of so many Vogue magazines that naming them all would be like listing Madonna's lovers.

Having recently had a network failure that caused a major cascading series of other issues, I've been diving into our rsyslog.conf to try identify opportunities for more stable deployment.
We have all our application servers running rsyslog, forwarding over tcp to a couple of aggregation servers. Yesterday, when one of those servers was nearly unreachable due to high packet loss, the rest of the environment ground to a halt. I think I have discovered a couple of configs that don't make sense.
Here is our client config:
# modules
$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging
$ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd)
$KLogPath /proc/kmsg
# global app configs

My questions are:
A) On the client servers, what will happen to messages with a "Direct" queue sending TCP to a mostly (but not entirely) unreachable server? Will the MainMsg queue instantly start to back up, if the action queue can't ship logs?
B) What is the maximum total queue size (memory and disk) for a "disk-assisted" queue that has a "QueueSize" of 50000, and no "QueueMaxDiskSpace" set? Is it unlimited, that is to say, the "QueueSize" directive only applies to the in-memory portion?
C) Does "QueueDiscardMark" directive apply to total queued messages (memory and disk) or only to the in-memory portion?

BATON ROUGE, La. – After spending the previous two weekends at home, the 69th-ranked Mississippi State women's tennis team traveled to No. 55 LSU on Friday, falling to the Tigers 4-1, but not without applying some pressure in the later stages of the match.
With the loss, the Bulldogs fall to 9-8 overall and 1-6 in the SEC. LSU improves to 9-7 overall and 2-5 in conference action.
The Bulldogs jumped out to a quick start in doubles action, as the duo of Petra Ferancova and Georgiana Patrasc picked up their second SEC victory on court 3, defeating LSU's Noel Scott and Ella Taylor 8-2. Mississippi State would then clinch the doubles point, as the 40th-ranked duo of Alexandra Perper and Naomi Tran earned an 8-5 win on court 1 over LSU's Skylar Holloway and Gabrielle Otero. Doubles play was then suspended, with MSU's Rosie Dion and Timea Guibe trailing 6-3 at the No. 2 position.
LSU would fire back with some momentum of its own in singles play, as MSU's Tran fell 6-3, 6-2 on No. 5 to Taylor. The Bulldogs' Ferancova would be the next to fall, dropping a 6-3, 6-2 decision on court 6 to Holloway. LSU led 2-1.
The remaining four matches all went to third sets, with State needing three for a win. After fighting back to take the second set at No. 2, MSU's Perper fell in a tough 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 decision on court 2 to Scott. LSU would then clinch the match with another tight win as Abigail Owens held off the State true freshman Guibe 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 at the No. 3 spot.
Singles action was then suspended, with MSU's Patrasc trailing 5-4 in the third set on No. 1 and Bulldog Dion tied at 3-3 in the third on court 4.
Mississippi State will return to action on Sunday, as it travels to No. 46 Arkansas. The Razorbacks (8-10 overall, 1-6 SEC) grabbed the doubles point early, but fell 4-2 to No. 32 Ole Miss on Friday. Match time in Fayetteville is set for Noon. Live stats will be provided on arkansasrazorbacks.com.

In the course of his remarkable career, Anthony Braxton has done groundbreaking work combining 20th-century classical techniques with jazz-inspired free improvisation. Yet at least one admirer is of the opinion that the further Braxton gets away from jazz, the less interesting his music becomes. The University of Illinois Creative Music Orchestra's instrumentation is essentially that of a conventional big band, although "Composition No. 165" makes even something so notoriously avant as Bob Graettinger's "City of Glass" (written for Stan Kenton's orchestra) seem like "Moten Swing" in comparison. Braxton relies on a post-Boulez/Stockhausen aesthetic, with a bit of Downtown New York thrown in. Blocks of dense, dissonant chords alternate with loose solo and collective improvisations. The harmony is non-tonal throughout, probably serialist, at least in part. The form seems open, though it's difficult to be sure, since there's so little to grasp in the way of themes, harmonies or recurring structural elements. The student orchestra is certainly more than competent. Some of the soloists are more compelling than others, though no one in particular stands out. And that's as it should be. Braxton's composition is rightfully the primary focus. Like most of Braxton's music, there's so much going on, a listener is bound to latch onto something he or she finds attractive. Ultimately, however, it comes off as a hodgepodge of post-tonal techniques that miss more than they hit. Not terrible, but not his best work, by any means.

I know I speak for everyone here at Thoms when I ask for Gods mercy in getting Dick Cheney out of the hospital and back to work for the American people.
Get well soon Dick.
"... the hospitalized former vice president could go home on Monday after receiving medication to treat a fluid buildup..."
Is that anything like being water-boarded? Just wondering...but of course I wouldn't wish it on anybody, not even a Dick...

Friction Vs Camo & Krooked Ft. Dynamite MC – Stand Up (Sigma Remix)
So I know I put up a Remix of Camo and Crooked yesterday, but I was just feeling this hard ass Drum and Bass and I had to give you the chance to rock out with me. Sigma has always just been an absolute beast of an act and both of these remixes are absolute madness. I mean I was expecting this, but I wasn't expecting THIS. Does that make sense to you? Anyways the newest track is straight dance floor fire, make sure that all your clothes are on tight before you press play…. just a warning. Enjoy.
