A voluntary process where EDR mediators assist Virginia state employees experiencing workplace conflict in exploring their differences and developing their own solutions to these concerns.
EDR offers online and classroom trainings on such topics as workplace conflict, the grievance procedure, and disciplinary process.
Confidential consultation on employment rights and responsibilities as well as available options in resolving workplace conflict.
Grievance Procedure
A process where workplace concerns can be raised by an employee with agency management and may qualify for a hearing before an independent, neutral hearing officer.

To say that we want this Rails Olivia Skirt in Blue Chambray ($118) is a major, major understatement! Our skinny jeans can expect a little less love while we're working our shiz in this gorgeous lightweight skirt. We plan on contrasting it with chunky knit sweaters while the weather stays rotten, and then throwing on soft tees and breezy tops when it finally warms up. We're not waiting to start our spring wardrobe shopping, either... consider it open season.

These were fairly easy to install except the rear deflectors hung up on the outside weather seal. You had to ease them into place as you raised the window. Other than that it was a quick and easy install.

A "wall" of a time
This is just the latest stage in the singing career of 11-year-old Chloe Howells, who only last week returned from Los Angeles after a promotional trip with her band the Trollmates. The Trollmates now have a record out.
The idea behind the Trollmates is to encourage children to care for the environment across the world and they are currently looking for a fifth band member. The trip to China is to promote an X-Factor-style show for children to find a new singer.
During her trip to Los Angeles, Chloe met former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff who has agreed to be one of the judges on the TV panel.

Tonight I treated myself with a great Rui's video at AllJapanesePass, which is a must-see for everyone. Rui's appetite for cock is sure legendary, but she exceeds even herself in the vid. Babe starts slow at first. Teasing the guy by licking his dick gently. But it doesn't take long before she dives in and goes balls deep! Rui Saotome got one deep and hungry throat! Haha.

Just as she enjoys cock, Rui Saotome loves cunt and raw lesbian sex. I wish you could see her naughty tongue passionately running over partner's body. And when Rui reaches chick's crotch and starts working it, this instantly sends the girl into orgasmic state. But the best scene is when the chicks start rubbing their pussies against one another's. Simply put, the action that goes down in this video is superbly HOT! So grab the full-length video at AllJapanesePass and enjoy it.

Sexy Japanese Rui baths her succulent body
Watch this timid girl open the doors to her wild side!
Sometimes, less is more. Instead of having a cock shoved down her throat or pussy, Rui Saotome is casually bathing her amazing body. And this picture really does it for me. I'd kill for a chance to feel up her wet young body, to caress those ripe breasts! Wouldn't you? And then, I'd bend her over the tub and slam my dick deep inside! Haha. The next best thing we can do besides that, is watching Rui getting fucked by someone else. And you can get it right away at AllJapanesePass.

Applications for field trips are accepted. (Formerly known as PASS applications.)
LCC Program Guidelines (PDF)
The postmark deadline for applications is October 15
The Millbury Cultural Council supports community cultural projects through its two grant programs. It awards arts lottery and field trip program grants each year. Field trip grants are a ticket subsidy for school groups to attend cultural events. See PASS Program below.
The Millbury Cultural Council is a non-profit organization. The Massachusetts Cultural Council is the governing organization from which funds are derived. Its mission is "to promote excellence, access, education, and diversity in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences in order to improve the quality of life for all Massachusetts residents and to contribute to the economic vitality of our communities." The Council, appointed by the selectmen, places priority on new initiatives and gives preference to artists and events that benefit Millbury. The Commonwealth has guidelines to which the local communities must adhere. Millbury's guidelines are additional to the Commonwealth's.
Massachusetts artists and non-profit organizations may apply for partial funding for presentations that feature workshops, lectures, performances, exhibitions, festivals, science education, music and the arts.
The Council also encourages local artists who have not had an opportunity to present their work in the community to develop ideas for consideration that would result in the possibility of their being given a stipend, i.e. music students performing for local audiences.
The Millbury Cultural Council Guidelines are specific criteria that Millbury's local cultural council has determined will enhance and encourage cultural events offered to various groups in Millbury. The following guidelines are considered when awarding grants:
1. Applications must be postmarked on or before October 15 (additional applications may be accessed through www.massculturalcouncil.org/applications). Programs must be presented between January 1-December 31, 2014.
2. The Millbury Cultural Council encourages eligible applicants to secure additional funding through collaboration or other sources as the Council may only award partial funding.
3. Preference will be given to applicants who live or work in Millbury, and who offer programs and presentations that specifically benefit a wide range of audiences in the Millbury community.
4. An applicant who is funded two successive years will have lower priority in the third year.
5. Applicants should have an arranged venue for their activity and a date (if a specific date is not available, please give general timeframe).
6. Activities must take place in a handicap accessible facility.
7. The qualifications of the individuals/organizations involved and the population segments served will be reviewed.
8. Applicants should submit letters of support, critical reviews, slides, tapes or portfolios as appropriate.
Field Trip grants fund students in grades preK-12 to attend performing arts events in facilities outside of their schools. Maximum reimbursement for admission to events or institutions will be up to $12 or less. The children must attend performances that do not take place in a school during normal school hours. Field trip grants may be used for transportation at the Council's discretion.
Historically, the Council gives a minimum of 50% of its funding to programs that target families, teens and seniors. In a recent survey of community preference, these groups were ranked the highest.
Applications can be sent to: Millbury Cultural Council, Millbury Town Hall, 127 Elm Street, Millbury, MA 01527. Any questions may be directed to chair Claire Forgues. Revised 9/1/14.

So GM has killed dozens of innocent people. At least Obama saved thousands of union jobs with your tax dollars so they can kill more innocent people with their millions of defective products. GM has recalled more cars in the last three months than they've sold in the last five years. Sounds like a recipe for success. Cramer says it's a buy. Who in their right mind would ever buy a GM vehicle? Oh yeah, the millions of subprime deadbeats getting seven year, $35,000, 0% down loans from All y Financial.
GM recalls another 7.6 million cars
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM) issued six new recalls Monday covering nearly 7.6 million cars sold in the United States between 1997 and 2014, according to reports. The problem once again is linked to faulty switches that allow the ignition key to inadvertently rotate. GM reportedly said the problem could be linked to three fatal crashes in older full-size sedans. GM said it will take a $1.2 billion charge to cover the cost of the recalls, up from a previously disclosed charge of $700 million. GM shares are currently halted. They traded at $36.84, up 0.6%, prior to the halt.

Chad Pennington's post-game press session
Hey guys, because of tight deadlines last night we couldn't get any quotes from Chad Pennington's post-game press conference in the paper so here's a complete transcript. I know we've joked about his arm strength over the years but he's also kicked the Dolphins butt, winning seven of his eight starts.
One thing that can't be argued. This is one articulate, classy gentleman.
On wearing the Dolphins hat
It feels good, it really does, I'm extremely excited to be apart of this organization and to be a Miami Dolphin. I cant tell you how excited I am, and am looking forward to the opportunity. When one door closes another one opens. But its not about me, its about our team and how I can make us a better team and win football games, thats what its about.
Dan Henning
I do remember a little bit. As a matter of fact, I had some stuff at the house that I brought with me from 2000. On the plane ride over, I was just sort of thumbing though it, just looking through it trying to recall some of it. Some of it sounds familiar, some of it doesnt because it has been 8 years. But I'm excited about it, i've always held Dan Henning in such a great respect, I have a lot of respect for him and what he's done in this league. I'm really excited about this, I enjoyed him as a rookie and learned a lot of football from him.
On how quickly it was clear this was a natural fit.
The last 48 hours has been a whirlwind, its been a little crazy, just trying to figure out what was the best decision for me as a professional and what was the best decision for my family. But I just tried to enjoy it, take it one moment at a time and look at everything and I just felt that this was a great fit. This was a place I needed to be and wanted to be. Here I am.
Anything tip the scales?
I felt it was a great opportunity to come down here and number one, be apart of a great organization and two, to be a part of a team that is hungry to win and hungry to turn the tables and get some good things going. I want to be a part of that and I'm excited for the opportunity.
I see myself in all aspects, by nature, I enjoy playing the mentor role. It doesn't matter if I'm the starter or not, I enjoy playing that role because I think thats part of your job as a veteran, part of your responsibility as a veteran in this league, to help the young guys along, to show them things you've learned along with the way. I've had great veterans in my time to help me–Vinny Testeverde, Curtis Martin, Wayne Chrebet, those guys helped me tremendously, not only as a football player but how to be a professional. As a young player, thats the biggest challenge, the Xs and Os take care of itself, its about how to be a pro on and off the field. And it takes a lot, it takes a lot of energy and focus to do that. I'm coming here to compete and to play and I'm excited about that as well and I enjoy being in the huddle with those other 10 guts and leading those guys to victory.
Its obvious Bill drafted me in 2000, I've never been able to experience Bill as a head coach, in a coaching capacity. I was around him for a year in 2000 and one thing about coach Parcells is that he's going to tell you the truth and he's going to be honest with you and tell you exactly what he expects from you as a player and as a professional and I respect that.
(I have no idea what the question was)
I think I'd be remiss if I put a number on it or a stat, I think I'll rely on my 8 years of experience in this league. I've never been in this situation before, so that does present a different challenge, but I can either look at it as an obstacle or an opportunity and I'm looking at it as an opportunity. I've got a burning desire to get in there starting tomorrow. Getting started on filmwork, and the offense and getting in there and learning what my teammates are about and get to know those guys. In this game, its one thing to know the Xs and Os, but its another thing to know your teammates and know who they are and what they are about. That's how you win football games, you win football games by chemistry and understanding guys and getting to know each other. That's what takes you over the top.
Not at all. A lot of people might've thought it was the revenge factor. It had nothing to do with it. I just tried to look at each opportunity as it presented itself and try to make the best decision for me and my family and for my professional career.
ARM? I feel very good. I spent a lot of time this offseason really taking a look at all the criticisms over the last few years and taking a look at myself as a professional quarterback and seeing what I could do to better myself and one of the things I tried to do was try to totally change my mechanics and work on those things to create the consistency in the down the field throws and velocity of the ball. Its never been an issue of accuracy, the criticisms always come the consistency in the velocity so I really took a hard look at that and changed some things around. I'm still working on that. It's going tobe a work in progress, try to change something you've been doing for 25 years but at the same time Ive had some really good results in training camp up to this point and I feel really good about it.
TRADE? When it first happened it was surreal but for some reason I had a real peace about it. I wasn't overly shocked or overly emotional about it for some reason I just had an inner peace about it and things would work out. I would say the reason for that is because all the things that I've been through. I've been through a lot of difficult challenges. Through a great support group and great teammates I've been able to overcome all those challenges. It's one of those things I chalked it up as another opportunityand make the best of it.
COMPETITION? Im no stranger to competition. I've been there before and I know what its'all about. I think it brings out the best in all of us and makes our team better. I'm no stranger to that. I've been there in 2006. I had to deal with it this year there in training camp so I welcome it. I love being challenged I really do I look forward to it.
QBS PERFORMANCE: I felt the quarterbacks did some really good things out there. I guess Ill try to give you a coaches answer which is not my responsibility at all. I was excited to see those guys go out and compete. We had great conversations on the sideline. Talked to them about different things. We were just talking football and when you get a chance to sit down and talk football I think it's a lot of fun.
TOUGH ORDEAL? Yeah, there are emotions involved. No doubt about it. Number one you can never take business personal. You cant do it. I f you do you're going to get your feelings hurt. No. 1 there are emotions that rise up and you have to fight, and really accept those emotions and deal with them and you try to move on and as long as you understand we're emotional beings by nature as human being and it's OK to be emotional, but at the same time it cant be a distraction.
VS FAVRE? Its going to be a lot of fun. Im really looking forward to it. I don't have revenge on my mind or anything like that. I have one thing on my mind and that's victory period. So I'm looking forward to it. Im looking forward to the challenge and really excited about that. Right now I got a lot of work to do I got to try and get in there and grinding a little bit, talk to the quarterbacks, talk to my teammates and get to know those guys, try to be a sponge. Its not like being a rookie all over again but in some aspects it is because you got to learn a whole new system and things like that.Luckily Ive been around this system before so I do know what to expect in some aspects. I just need to take it in a little bit at a time.
BEING IN DIVISION? I've been fortunate to having played in front of Dolphins fans for eight years now and I think theyre great fans. As far as fans in general I t hink they bring a lot of excitement to the game. See them on the streets somewhere they appreciate what you do and talk to you about it. Its refreshing. Im excited to start to meet Dolphins fans.
SPARANO Well hes very upfront, very honest, he'll shoot you straight and m
ake sure youre on the same page with him and make sure you know what hes asking for.I think hes got a great passion for this game.Its about one thing. Its about winning period, end quote no questions asked.Whatever its going to take hes going to do it.
KNOW QB HERE? I actually had a chance to meet Chads sister one time … I t hink that was like last year. … I know of the guys and I know Chad from watching him play in college. I think we go tto get this Chad thing straightened out. We got to start calling him rook or calling me CP or something because a lot of times tonight they were yelling for Chad and I thought they were yelling for me …I give a lot of credit for those three guys beucase its always a difficult situation. Its such a business. You try to separate the business from the game and understand when youre in between the white lines you're all playing for one goal.
What do you guys think?

Robert Cringely.. opinion squared
I have to disagree. When you look at Bill Gates' background for example in excellent books like Hard Drive, it is easy to see that internal innovation IS NOT part of the master plan. From buying in DOS and loaning the Mac Interface, the talent always has been in seeing what customers will want and moving quickly to deliver a finished product to the customer as quickly as possible at minimal cost... even if that means not paying some people who should really and legally be paid!
To say, as he does, that Mr Gates is getting in the way of innovation at MS is to say you do not understand how the whole business operates..

The power of IT
How irritating, just spent 1/2 an hour trying to find the book where I got this great idea... so you all know I'm not pulling this out of the ether. Not one listing on Google... how weird... anyway the basic message is this... how to present a position is as follows:
1. What is the problem? (KISS)
2. What is needed to solve the problem
3. IT- present the idea in tangible form
4. Pros/ Cons/ options
5. Next Steps
I've had many a standup argument that documentation far surpasses mockups and what many call smoke and mirrors, but the bottom line is paperwork never captures the imagination, but something that a person could relate to as being a real working prototype will always do a better job... its the epitome of suspension of belief, helping a person jump the gap between what is and what could be.
So on this note, I vow to do a working mockup whenever I can afford the time to do one.

Blog/ Promotion Aggregator
Just toying with the idea of using GoogleGroups as Blog and Mailing list agregator... the basic idea is send to a google group and enter blog submission email addresses (both internal and external) as subscribers.
The Result.... Enter one place and remail multiple places and enter from anywhere. Ill report how this works out in a week or so...
The 10 step process
An old friend once outlined this process to me and it has been pretty fundamental for over two decades for me now... although it really works for smaller and consumer oriented products the idea seems to be relatively similar to running out much larger projects:
1. Concept on paper
2. Rough prototype
3. Legal - trademark, patent prov
4. Working model
5. Promotion/ user assessment
6. Small direct retail selling
7. Local promotion/ trade show
8. Distribution
9. Regional promotion
10. Exit - sell
My personal business process has grown a lot more then this, but the basic steps are consistent across much more applications than an inventor/ entrepreneur like myself.

Started work on the Universal Database
The beginnings of a little database project is now taking form at the lab...
we are calling it the Universal Database. The idea is that you can set the
database field name to whatever you want and collect any information you
want in it and basically send to it from anywhere... on top of that it sends
a copy of the record to you via email... its an open data collection tool
that can be used by anyone from anywhere with the aim of making it easy for
people to collect information and have it sent to them without having to go
thru the pain of setting up a database or running your own server database

Logarex progress
Last night I set my PC working on an algorithm to find all the logs for numbers between 10 to the power of 15 and 10 to the power of 16... and it was still running this morning... this is the latest in a drive to get the Logarex prototype site up for visitors to play with... I hope within a week or so to have a web site/ lab project up to allow anyone to submit any 16 digit number to see how much the Logarex algorithm will compress the number... will update in a few more days.
The noble spirit behind patent laws
Patents... legal jousting and intellectual corporate power plays are what comes to mind but... whatever happened to the original ideal... namely a guy/ girl comes up with a valid new idea and the government does the right thing in protecting their right to make a living from the invention without letting all comers just steal the idea and leave them in the dust... especially is this the case when the one wanting the idea for their own is a corporation with consolidated funds and manpower of thousands of investor and employees...
The other fly in the ointment is that the idea of an inventor taking their invention from concept to mass sale is increasingly unrealistic... with the specialized skills and large resources needed to be competitive in any of today's markets, the inventor can at best expect to get the idea into a commercial product and either sell it to a distribution or roll out partner and stand aside while hopefully retaining some equity in the products future success....
Somewhere in all this there is a simple guiding principle... inventors should not use the government to enforce a monopoly that can dictate any price it wants on industry and consumers (assuming the invention is just that indispensable)... on the other hand if someone or a corporation intentionally ignores patent protection, then they ought to be treated as criminals as bad a gang that breaks into a jewel shop to steal diamonds... unfortunately today such behavior is seen as a commercial decision not as a moral one... I promise to get off my soap box for the next contribution :-)

Vendor liability for ignoring patents... who should pay?
Wired makes this point:
Make Vendors Liable for Bugs Security Matters " Security is at its best when those with the capability to fix security holes are also the ones who get hurt by them. Surprisingly, this isn't the way it works now. Commentary by Bruce Schneier."
But why stop there... what about legal liability? What if the vendor is knowingly abusing a patent protected technology. Can customers of such a vendor take out a class action suit? Should end users really be expected to find out if the product they are using is infringing a patent?
Any comments?

From the Lab... still on the drawing board
Following are ideas that have become full blown projects but are not ready for prime time. Please feel free to browse them and paly with the prototypes that we are developing for each project as the become available.
Password Packing
With key loggers and Trojans waiting to snatch your banking password something is needed to make their life a bit harder. Password Packing is a technique that adds nonsense characters to your password making it harder for a hacker to know what your password is yet no harder for you to remember.
Site Triage
A simplified password system for people who want privacy but do not want their visitors to sign up for anything.
Personal Server
Automates collection of important information on your home computer and gets it to you over the web or on your cell or pda.
Digital Furnace
One computer for the whole household, a new multi-user approach to household computing.
Wireless Repeater
Uses light sockets to power wireless internet connections around the home and around the world.
Push payment system
Provides web buyers with a way to pay people over the web without using sellers shopping cart.
Want to pay 2 cents to see an important page on the web...
Pop Central
An experiment using push technology to flash information to the user without interrupting their workflow. 5/25/04
Cell Redirector
Centralize your phone calls at home or on the move with automatic call cost optimization between your cell and home phone line accounts.2/23/04
Use two cell phones to make all your calls from a landline while on the move. 2/23/04
Password Packing - more secure ATMs and...
Password Packing is an idea we came up with make the smaller simpler passwords we all find so easy to remember much safer. For example ATM passwords are only 4 digits long which means we can only stop someone from guessing our passwords if they cant get access to a system to try the 10 to the power of 4 possible combinations ie 10000 different numbers.
The general idea is that the terminal works with you to hide your four digit number so that anyone watching or any digital eavesdropping technology is dealing with a number much longer and without nowing which part of the number you type in is actually your password.
For example an ATM could say to you:
- Please type 376 - you type 376
- Please type the first digit of your password - you type it
- Please type 1 - you type 1
- Please type the next two numbers of your password - you type them
- Please type 21 - you type 21
- Please type the last number of your password - you type it
- Now type 4 - you type 4
Things can also be a lot simpler too.. the user could select a password pattern for their account and use any number of random numbers between their actual password numbers as long as they are in the right sequence and the ATM could work out which numbers were the password and whichg weren't... we are in the process of making a simulator for this but we'd like to hear what you think so make a comment here. Wed love to hear from you.
Download music sales exceed pirate downloads
According to Wired magazine May06 edition pg 058 (not on their website for some reason) Matt Honan reports that 11+ million users now download songs that are sold and only 10 million frequent song download networks yet the music industry is just as sick as ever.
The problem: The download sites mainly sell 99 cent singles.
As a musician and a former member of the music industry myself I know the value of the album format. How many people would have known about "Levee breaks" or "Going to California" if "Stairway to Heaven" was available as a single?
Simple solution: Sell the album for $8 (15$ less shipping and packaging and storage costs) by allowing punters to unlock all the other tracks in an album when they buy one track.
For a bit of a reality check:
- Allowing their songs to be included in compilations are the artists choice and it's the same as batch buying singles anyway.
- The album format is not necessarily a conspiracy by the record companies to get you to pay for music you don't want.
- Most musicians, myself included tend to write in batches with an album representing a stage, a snapshot in the artists journey so maybe its time for the record companies to deliver a discounted online album price and for the punters to open up to the idea of an album experience rather than a smorgasbord of only the most popular tracks from each album.
Time to get off the soapbox...

Protecting Games before they hit the street
Something is needed to protect this intellectual property even during the development cycle not just after it's boxed and being placed on shelves. One technique we are looking into at Uniloc is investigating how to do polite machine activation that puts the brakes on mass distribution without the strict "one license – one machine" mantra that is seen on so many of the consumer software publishers activation systems.
Polite activation's psychology is to capture every copy of a game on every machine (ie know where they are) but don't police the copies until the copy count gets really stupid. Its pretty easy to see the difference from a gamer who owns his own in home multi-player network and a posting on a P2P network… and then just turn the offending serial number off…. The bottom line is to not confuse fair use with an excuse to force every punter out their to pay for a copy of a game for every machine they own or want to show off to a family member.
What say you… are we off our rockers? Please comment we'd love to hear what you say about this…
Passmark a bargain for RSA?
Here is PassMark, with an Intuit heavyweight opening doors for them and having bagged the 800 pound gorilla of the online banking community Bank of America and all the press you can poke a stick at when... they get bought out for $50 million.
$50 million?
All that traction and hype for $50 mill... it is this humble bloggers opinion that the BofA deal was, and is a love job... which leads me to the validity of their colorful image based security system and their browser locking technologies... are they really legitimate? Can they really be counted as a legitimate second factor in a multi factor security system? Maybe not... maybe we have a little further to go to.

For a fun SF novel that works on several levels, read Email from Mars: Outbound, by Lon Grover. This new release in 2013 earns a Denver Space Industry Examiner rating of 4 out of 5 stars!
Several science fiction authors have written about "first human missions to Mars," including your Examiner in Shadows of Medusa. Ironically, just as missions to Mars gathered momentum in the real world (several feasible human missions to/near Mars are now planned within the next 22 years), SF authors stopped writing about them. And that's just sad.
Enter EfM:O, by longtime space enthusiast Lon Grover. This may be the first novel with a fresh new take on a humans-to-Mars mission within the past decade? I'm sure someone will comment about a book or two that I'm overlooking… and that's fine as long as readers don't overlook this one. If you like science fiction that could actually happen or you want to educate yourself about the growing humans-to-Mars movement, go out and grab a paper copy for only $8.99 on Amazon.com or a Kindle version for $4.99.
As an entertaining novel for the general public, the book rates a solid 3 of 5 planets. I'd love to rate the entertainment portion higher but it's a tricky read. Some readers might have trouble following Grover's unique and highly creative writing style.
I happened to enjoy the writing style immensely because I saw it for years when I directed the Mission Support team for various FMARS or MDRS missions. Between some traditional action scenes and a flashback or two, Grover includes a healthy dose of nonlinear e-mail transmissions to/from the crew. He reproduces real issues with tenses and perspectives in the crew e-mails extremely well, but that's what might confuse some folks.
Readers wanting flashy artwork or schematics may be disappointed, and some of the technical detail in the book won't appeal to all readers. For me, these details and rough edges added a refreshing touch of realism to a mission that, by necessity, will have some rough edges.
And that's also the novel's greatest strength. The technical level of detail earns 5 of 5 planets. Without getting too bogged down, Grover has crammed a lot of innovative thought into his pages. The book explores important concepts like crew selection, interactions, funding, ship design, and hazards. This embedded information remains quite consistent with real field research at the Mars Society or NASA.
One quick disclaimer: Years ago, I helped Grover develop the Mars trajectory and (therefore) overall timeline used in the novel. This means I can vouch for the authenticity of his approach. Grover's communication time delays, like mine in Shadows of Medusa, aren't just a cheap plot device. The to-Mars orbital physics are as real as any fiction author could ever make them.
Among his many innovations, I applaud Grover's creation of a banking system, FGS&L (First Galactic Savings and Loan) as a way to pay the crew and make the mission immediately profitable. Something like FGS&L could work in the real world because sending human explorers to Mars will almost certainly release vast sums of new money and ideas into the technology markets – on Earth, where all previous fortunes have been earned. Visionaries like Elon Musk know all too well that in any gold rush (figurative or literal), most miners starve while the equipment makers and transportation barons grow wealthy. Space exploration will be no different. There's gold in them thar' hills!
Grover explores crew psychology from several angles, with a heavy emphasis on long distance marriages. By sending one spouse to Mars while the other remains on Earth, he creates a powerful, if tenuous, stabilizing link for both. Readers who like some spicy dialogue will not be disappointed… and therefore I wouldn't recommend this book for younger readers. Grover also explores the dark side of intimate relationships because the folks out in space on this "dangerous mission" might not be the ones in the most danger.
That leads us into the plot of the novel, which I won't spoil here. When skullduggery happens, it hits the crew and their loved ones swiftly and powerfully. While this novel contains plenty of intrigue – and a good cliffhanger at the end – the main focus remains upon the mission and the crew interactions. For avoiding excesses so common in most SF, the plot also earns a rating of 5 planets out of 5.
Grover will definitely need a sequel, as the novel leaves us hanging at a pivotal point. We are starting to glimpse what is really going on, and I find myself greatly looking forward to turning more pages soon!

The 16ft-long fish circled the vessel off the US coast, swam alongside it, took a food bag away and even nibbled the engine.
09:42, UK, Thursday 17 July 2014
The owner of a boat was left "stunned" when a large shark got a little too close for comfort and even started biting the engine.
Steve Clark said the fish, believed to be a Great White, circled the 35ft vessel, swam alongside and went under before coming back several times.
The shark, which was filmed by one of the people on board, even made off with the chum food bag that is used to attract fish.
"Uh-oh, he's going to take our chum bag. He's going to take our chum bag!" a man can be heard saying in a video, which has gone viral on social media.
In the footage, some people were being warned to "get back" after the predator - thought to be around 16ft - was spotted off the coast of the South Jersey shore.
There were also passengers on board at the time.
Mr Clark told CBS News: "It was awesome. It wasn't scary, cause we're used to sharks.
"It swam down the length of the boat and I happened to see it first.
"Obviously, I was a little bit stunned. I didn't say anything to anybody, I was looking at it, trying to process the information, cause it was quite a big fish."
"The boat's 10ft wide. It (the shark) was sticking way out of both sides of the boat. The kids were on each side looking at the shark."
The vessel then left the scene when the predator started nibbling at the engine.
An expert said it was possible Great Whites were swimming that close to the coast but they normally remain far away enough that they were not a danger to swimmers on the beach.

knitr: Elegant, flexible and fast dynamic report generation with R
The knitr package is an alternative tool to Sweave with a more flexible design and much more features. CRAN page: http://cran.r-project.org/package=knitr ; development repository: https://github.com/yihui/knitr ; website (documentation and demos): http://yihui.name/knitr/ ; manual: https://github.com/downloads/yihui/knitr/knitr-manual.pdf (use the Adobe Reader to see something surprising there)
For those who are not familiar with dynamic report generation or literate programming with R, the idea is that R code can be mixed with a document, and we can compile the document with R code being evaluated and corresponding results (including numeric output and graphics, etc) written into the output document (a minimal introduction). Sweave has implemented the basic idea, and there is still lots of room for improvement for production use. For example, it is unrealistic to restrict one plot per code chunk, and knitr is more natural on this issue. Here is the screenshot of an example taken from the knitr manual:
The elegance of knitr comes from several aspects, like code reformatting (with the formatR package, to make R code better formatted), highlighting (with the highlight package, to make R code more readable), support for tikz graphics (with the tikzDevice package, to produce high-quality R graphics; see the graphics manual for examples) and careful consideration on details. For example, by default there are no prompt characters like
> and
+ in the R code output, so it is easy for the reader to copy and run the code; the results returned by R are masked in
## so the reader can see the results without mangling the R source code (i.e. the output is still valid R code); the default number of digits was set to be small so we do not get too many digits.
In a word, knitr was designed with one belief in mind: beauty should come by default.
Unlike Sweave, which was mainly targeted at LaTeX, knitr was designed without any restrictions on the input or the output format. It can be quickly adapted to HTML or other types of output, since the core components (code extraction and evaluation) are not hard-coded. This is a simple example showing how knitr works with the markdown format:
There is a whole set of hooks which can be used to customize the output (http://yihui.name/knitr/hooks). For example, you can easily use the listings package to decorate your R code if you do not like the default style.
There are more than 20 built-in graphical devices, including PDF, PNG, tikz and many devices in the Cairo or cairoDevice package, and it requires little effort to switch between difference devices.
The knitr package has put a lot of emphasis on graphics, and there are brand-new features like direct support for animations in LaTeX documents, as well as a quick support for rgl 3D plots; see the PDF manual for examples (use Adobe Reader to view animations).
Learning from cacheSweave and pgfSweave, knitr also has support for cache through different implementations. The idea of cache is that a code chunk can be skipped if its results have been cached before and the code has not been changed since then. This will make the code evaluation much faster. All the objects created in a cached chunk will be lazy-loaded, meaning the objects will not really be loaded into the current R session unless they are really used in the following chunks. Again, this will save some time on computing as well. Note the complete output of a code chunk is cached, which means the printed results as well as the graphics will show up as if they were created in real time by a code chunk (in cacheSweave, we lose printed results and graphics).
Here is a real world application on a time-consuming computing job -- analysis of the NRC rankings data via the Bayesian Lasso (Rnw source; PDF output). As we know, MCMC often involves with a large number of iterations, and this demo clearly shows the advantage of cache.
Although knitr is still a new baby, I can envision many potential applications in business due to the following reasons:
- Dynamic and automatic report generation saves time and human efforts; as long as the R code has been set up correctly, knitr can take over the rest of job; it takes the same amount of efforts to compile a report once or ten thousand times;
- Big data will definitely need the cache since it is often time-consuming to deal with, and we may not want to redo all the computing over and over again when generating reports automatically;
- We need professional presentations of data and statistical models in business, and knitr tries to give beautiful output by default; we also need novel presentations as well, such as animations and sophisticated rgl 3D plots (see how boring and clumsy statistical reports usually are);
- The report does not have to be restricted to a specific format such as LaTeX, and knitr is fully customizable to incorporate with different types of demand; as a trivial example, knitr can be used as the backend of http://www.inside-r.org/pretty-r/, or as an online data processing tool (think http://opencpu.org/);
Last but not least, for LyX users, I have also added support of knitr to LyX to make it really easy to use this package without taking care of the details of LaTeX. A short video is here: http://vimeo.com/32948939
Knitr looks fabulous! It really adds a lot visually to packaging up R analysis. I can't wait until it is included in LyX as a built-in plug-and-play module (like Sweave more-or-less has become since LyX 2.0).
I don't do too many documents in LaTeX but I like very much being able to hook up R to presentations (which I now do via Sweave in LyX) for version control purposes. On a tight deadline, having to repaste dozens of figures into a presentation because you've changed something is a common cause of painful, late nights. Hooking Sweave to Beamer eliminates that but it is hard to make nice-looking. The knitr stuff you put together looks much more "client friendly".
Keep up the good work!
- Rich
PS- Whatever you can do to make sure that knitr plays nicely with Beamer in LyX would be greatly appreciated! (Right now there is too much ERT hacking. The FragileFrame approach Liviu has put together seems promising but I wish it was better integrated in LyX.)
Thanks, Rich. I have just put up the beamer example in http://yihui.github.com/knitr/demo/beamer/
The LyX "boss" has agreed to add the FragileFrame module to LyX, so let's see what is going to happen in LyX 2.0.3 :)

Purse snatching suspect remains at-large
Published: Monday, October 25, 2010 at 5:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 25, 2010 at 5:17 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- A purse snatching suspect who evaded an extensive police manhunt near the Lafourche-Terrebonne border this weekend remains at-large, Thibodaux Assistant Police Chief Calvin Cooks said this afternoon.
Kevin Celestine, 48, 1306 Lee Ave. #3, Houma, is accused of stealing a 55-year-old woman's purse from her grocery cart Saturday afternoon outside the Dollar General Store on North Canal Boulevard in Thibodaux. Celestine was recently released from prison after serving a decade in prison for a separate purse snatching inside Southland Mall in Houma.
Celestine was seen leaving the scene in a gray Dodge Ram pickup, police said. He later crashed the vehicle into a tree at the intersection of West Main Street and La. 3185, then fled on foot.
Several local law-enforcement agencies combined to set up a one-mile perimeter between West Main Street and La. 311 near the subdivision of Nora T. Lane, but Celestine evaded capture. It is unclear whether he received a ride from someone else.
The Thibodaux Police Department is offering a reward for information that leads to Celestine's whereabouts and eventual arrest. Department officials declined to say how much money was being offered.
Celestine has prior purse snatching and carjacking charges on his record, Cooks said.
The Thibodaux Police Department asks you to call 446-5021 if you have information on this case.

U..S. Sentencing Panel Seeks Reduction Of All Federal Drug Penalties
January 10, 2014 07:11:00 am
The U.S. Sentencing Commission yesterday proposed amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines that include an across-the-board reduction in the sentences recommended for all drug offenses, says Ohio State University law Prof. Douglas Berman of the Sentencing Law and Policy blog. "The Commission's proposal reflects its priority of reducing costs of incarceration and overcapacity of prisons, without endangering public safety," said its chair, Judge Patti Saris. A commission study of offenders who got a reduced sentence under a similar two-level decrease in guideline levels for crack cocaine offenders in 2007 found no difference in recidivism rates for those offenders released early compared to those who served their full sentence.
Berman says the panel's action, although now only a proposal for comment, "strikes me as the most important tangible federal sentencing development since [last year's] passage of the Fair Sentencing Act." He says the proposal "is essentially a statement by the [commission] that it believes, in its expert opinion, the current guideline sentences for ALL drug offenses are ALL too harsh." In the past, the Justice Department opposed many proposed pro-defendant guideline amendments, but Berman suspects that with Attorney General Holder talking more about sentencing reform, "DOJ will not actively oppose the amendment (and may even support it)." Berman concludes, "not only could this amendment start lowering many federal drug sentences now and going foward, there is a chance it could end up lowering many long federal drug sentences already being served."

Pfizer is trying to raise its stake in Pfizer India through an offer of Rs. 6.8 billion, or almost $136.5 million. If successful, Pfizer will control 75%, up from the current 41.23% ownership.
Pfizer is offering to pay about Rs. 675, or roughly $13.54, per share. This represents an 8.6% premium to Pfizer Limited's Rs. 621.55 closing price on April 9, the last trading day.
Such a transaction will extend Pfizer's control of this subsidiary, which represents an emerging market. Pfizer has previously reported its interest in emerging markets like India, China, and Korea. The company has also expressed interest in generating a stronger hold in the generic pharmaceuticals market and is likely to use its India operations as a base.

It's not too hard to find decent gluten-free pizza these days. From high-end bistros to mom and pop shops, celiacs and others who can't eat gluten can satisfy their craving for a slice or two of pizza. Just about every grocery store offers a fairly good assortment of frozen pies as well, and some even carry fresh or frozen GF dough, so you can make your own pizza at home.
But sometimes, don't you just want the pizza to come to you? Wouldn't it be cool to just pick up the phone or open up the laptop and within a few minutes, have a hot, fresh pizza pie on its way to your home? More and more pizza places are adding gluten-free pizzas to their delivery menus, much to the delight of those of us who must eat gluten-free. View the slideshow to see just a few.

Andrew Rawnsley is the Chief Political Correspondent of the Observer, so what he says today about fracking will be read by many people who know little or nothing about it. They won't be educated by this and I'll only refute the main premise here:
Frack-heads talk feverishly about the reservoirs of shale gas being the equivalent of Britain's share of the original North Sea oil reserves. If that were to prove true, this would indeed provide a rich source of energy for Britain and a big boost to tax revenues for the Treasury. Some Tories even believe that shale gas could do for David Cameron what the black stuff did for Margaret Thatcher. The shale deposits under Lancashire alone, so they claim, could power the country for more than half a century. When they get really carried away, they reimagine Blackpool as the "Dallas of the North" with kiss-me-quick hats swapped for stetsons. Climate-change deniers are prominent among the frack-heads. Yet it also seems to offer something to greens because shale gas emits half as much carbon dioxide as coal.
Well, it is only human to dream and the temptation to fantasise about miraculous treasures is all the greater if you are a politician looking for relief from many more bleak years of austerity. The trouble with their dream is that it is very risky for Britain.
We can very easily knock the do we, don't we argument on the head by simply releasing the BGS for DECC estimates. The reason for not releasing them is so hilarious I'm saving it for my book, but the general point to consider here is that the resources, having been under the ground for 450 million years, aren't going anywhere. What is a fact, because the Chancellor tell us so, is that we have years of austerity ahead. It would be only human to dream, but what if there actually are miraculous treasures? Rawnsley tells not us, who knows better, but unfortunately several hundred thousand readers who don't, that shale is a mere illusion:
Shales in Europe are generally thinner and deeper, and therefore much more expensive to tap, than those that have been successfully exploited in the United States. And Britain looks likely to be one of the less promising prospects in Europe because its shales are typically among the thinnest.
That's a very sweeping statement. Where's the proof? What if we could have an independent estimate if not of resources, then of the thickness of shales? There are a number of geological factors that are used to assess shale plays, but among the most important is the thickness of the shale. Andrew Rawnsley says they are thin - and worthless. Here's what DECC say:
As I've noted recently, the Bowland shale is actually one of the worlds's largest gas fields, easily in the top ten and possibly as high as three. It's so big that it's size one way or the other is meaningless. If I tell you it's number four, we can rest assured Damian Carrington will write a story talking about the defeat for frack heads if we only make it to the top 12.
We need to cut the bureaucratic log jam over the resource estimate. Ed Davey could release it tomorrow. The fact he isn't shows the internal battles still raging.

It has been said many times that there is nothing better in this world than pizza. Some of the most important meetings in history have taken place over a plate of this fine food, and such was the case with the first chance encounter between Giacomo Mattioli, team principal of the 2013 Grand‐AM Rolex GT champion Scuderia Corsa racing team, and his recently hired Sporting Director, legendary driver Stefan Johansson. That encounter, as well as the role of Johansson and the driver line-up for the Rolex 24 at Daytona was released via email by the team this afternoon.
"I met Stefan in a pizzeria in Modena back in 1986 after he signed up with the Ferrari F1 team,he was young and I was younger. We have finally found a way to collaborate on a business level and I am very happy that Stefan is joining Scuderia Corsa. In his capacity as Sporting Director I'm confident that he will be instrumental in the continuous growth of the team," said Mattioli.
In his new role, Johansson will oversee team driver development, manage the sponsor relationships and work with both existing and potential clients in Scuderia Corsa's GT and Ferrari Challenge programs.
"It is a great honor for me to join the Scuderia Corsa Team in my new role as Sporting Director, added Johansson. "Giacomo Mattioli has been a friend ever since my days as a Ferrari Formula One driver and it is with great pleasure I am now looking forward to us also working together. I hope my experience and knowledge from my various racing activities over the last 30 years will help to contribute to the teams continued success both on and off the track."
For almost three decades Stefan Johansson has been one of the top drivers in the world of international motorsports. He has been successful in Formula One, IndyCar and Le Mans style sportscar racing, winning both the 12 hours of Sebring twice and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Swedish born Johansson is also an accomplished painter and designer, and resides in Los Angeles with his family during the offseason.
For the 52nd running of the legendary Rolex 24 At Daytona on January 25‐26, 2014, Scuderia Corsa will field three Ferrari 458 Italias in the GT‐D class; the No. 63, driven by 2013 Grand--‐AM GT champion Alessandro Balzan, Jeff Westphal, Toni Vilander and Lorenzo Case, the No. 64 car piloted by Dr. Rod Randall, Ken Wilden, David Empringham and John Farano, and the No. 65 car, in association with Brazil's Via Italia Racing, driven by Francisco Longo, Daniel Serra, Xandinho Negrao and Marcos Gomes.

Monovarietal Picual olive oils possibly represent 25% of the world's olive oil production. HPLC was used to analyse phenolic compounds and tocopherols in Picual olive oils obtained during two successive crop seasons (1999/2000 and 2000/2001) and from different geographic areas of the Jaén province, which is located in the south of Spain. Oils obtained at the beginning of each season had a higher content of each phenolic compound than those obtained at the end, although this effect was more pronounced for orthodiphenols than for non-orthodiphenols. The main phenolic compound detected in this monovarietal oil was the aglycon of oleuropein followed by the other secoiridoid aglycons. Lignan concentration in oil showed low variability with season and harvesting time, and pinoresinol in particular was present at a concentration of about 40 ppm. Therefore, the total polyphenol content of this monovarietal oil ranged from 300 to 700 ppm. Similarly, significant differences in these compounds were not detected between geographic areas. This monovarietal oil is very stable due to its high content of oleic acid and for this reason, the storage of oils for 2 years in amber glass bottles caused only a 30% decrease in phenolic compounds. An increase was found in simple phenols such as hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol liberated from the acid hydrolysis of the secoiridoid aglycons, and minor losses in tocopherols were also observed. These data provide a basis for the evaluation of polyphenol intake from virgin olive oil consumption, particularly from the monovarietal olive oil most consumed in the world.

Study: Americans Commute an Average 25 Minutes
A new study shows the average American commutes an average of 25 minutes. That's almost nine full days a year behind the wheel. Commutes have worsened over the last two decades because highways haven't kept pace with population growth and urban sprawl. If you work in New York City, your average commute is the worst in the country: almost 36 minutes long. For the nation's easiest commutes, you have to turn to the colder climes of Omaha and Buffalo.
