EU Backs Cool Data Center Project
The " CoolEmAll" project announced by the European Commission is intended to monitor and improve energy efficiency in data centers as well as to produce open-source hardware designs for a high-density server. The project is supported by universities and vendors, as TechWeek Europe explains:
Two main tools developed by the project will help to evaluate data centre and High Performance Computing (HPC) energy efficiency by looking at the interaction of hardware, data centre facilities such as heating and cooling and the role of applications in energy and carbon efficiency.
The Simulation Visualisation and Decision support (SVD) tool kit will allow data centre planners to model the energy efficiency implications of the physical placement of servers within a facility and different approaches to cooling, while it will also assess the role played by applications and workload.
A set of open source designs for the RECS Compute Box, a high density server developed by German start-up Christmann Informationstechnik, will also be created. It is hoped that these designs will allow other projects or commercial data centre operators to build on the research conducted by the CoolEmAll project.
The CoolEmAll project will assist the EC in its goal of making Europe a leader in HPC and it has plans to double its investment from €360 million (£230m) to €1.2 billion (£765m), with half of that earmarked for development, training and the development of new centres of excellence, creating thousands of jobs.
"It's investments like HPC that deliver innovations improving daily life. We've got to invest smartly in this field because we cannot afford to leave it to our competitors," commented Neelie Kroes, European Commission vice president for the Digital Agenda.

Recently, I have dist-upgrade on Debian Squeeze which runs my Proliant DL360 G5. After this, when the OS boots up I can see that there is a problem with udev - it's failing. Also, there is no network now and I cannot find a node for USB device in /dev.
The machine does not have CD drive, but has USB ports of course.
The question is: is it at all possible to somehow bring the USB and network back to operable state?

Washington's state law provides protection for an employer who responds to a prospective employer's request for reference information about a current or former employee. The law states that the employer providing the reference is presumed to be acting in good faith and is immune from civil and criminal liability so long as the disclosed information relates to:
The presumption of good faith can only be effectively challenged if a current or former employee can show by clear and convincing evidence that information the employer disclosed was knowingly false, deliberately misleading, or made with reckless disregard for the truth.
An employing official may decline to respond to a work reference request for a current or former employee. However if reference information is provided, the law states that a supervisor or manager who provides it should retain a written record in the employee's personnel file of the identity of the person or entity to which reference information is disclosed for a minimum of two years from the date of disclosure. An employee or former employee has a right to inspect the written record upon request.
Your unit's Human Resources Consultant is available to discuss questions regarding the kind of information that should be provided during employment reference checks.

My daughter is engaged to another believer. But his parents do not approve because of our financial status and other preferences they have for him. But what does scripture say about two believers that are equally yoked. Is there any Biblical reason that a man can not marry because his parents disapprove?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Perhaps they would quote a passage like Ephesians 6:1-3, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.""
Most Christians interpret that verse to apply to children in the sense of, people who are not yet adults. Very few would say that a 40 year old man is morally obligated to obey his 60 year old parents. Though I have heard some who say that. We could debate the exact point when a child becomes an adult and is freed from this obligation. Is it 18? 21? When he is no longer living in his parents home but has his own home and a job to support himself? I don't know of any explicit direction in the Bible on this point.
So my question would be the age and living/financial status of this young man. If he's 16 and still living with his parents, I think he is obligated to obey them. If he's 40 and has been supporting himself and living as an adult for many years, I think he owes them respect but not obedience.
One should also look at specific details of the considered marriage. Does it violate any other Biblical commands or advice?

Politicians aside, I think that the vast majority of people pushing for a higher minimum wage are well intentioned. A good example of this is Nick Hanaeur in his recent article about how pitchfork's are coming for the 0.01%. His article garnered an incredible amount of attention, and rightly so, but was in my opinion greatly lacking in solutions. While he accurately identified the perilousness of the current transformation of America into an undemocratic oligarchy, his primary solution revolved around raising the minimum wage. This is a superficial and largely meaningless answer to a symptom of a very structural problem.
If you want to solve structural problems you need structural solutions, and raising the minimum wage is not a structural solution. In case you missed it, I outlined my thoughts on the matter in the post: The Pitchforks are Coming…– A Dire Warning from a Member of the 0.01%.
Equally important, the entire argument of raising the minimum wage cannot be had without discussing the impact of technology. As I and many others have highlighted over the past several years, one of the most troubled segments of the U.S. economy consists of fast food workers. They simply cannot survive on the wages being paid to them by employers and need food stamps, disability and second jobs merely to make ends meet. In theory, raising the minimum wage will help these folks the most, but will it really? I think not.
A robot that can make 360 burgers an hour could put many fast-food workers out of a job – exactly as its designers intended.
Silicon Valley-based Momentum Machines developed the device, which is more like an assembly line than a humanoid robot, reported Singularity Hub.
"Our device isn't meant to make employees more efficient," said Momentum co-founder Alexandros Vardakostas. "It's meant to completely obviate them."
The company says the burger-flipping robot could take the place of two or three line cooks and save restaurant owners about $90,000 a year in salary and benefits.
The robots also reduce liability, management duties, and the space needed to prepare food, the website reported.
Some restaurant owners could use those savings to improve the quality of ingredients – basically offering gourmet burgers at fast-food prices – but others could offer the same quality food at lower prices.
Oxford University researchers predicted in a recent study that 47 percent of U.S. jobs were at risk of being automated within 20 years – especially service occupations, where most recent job growth has occurred.
The folks at Momentum Machines are very serious about their undertaking and boast an impressive pedigree. Its website boasts that:
Our team was trained in mechanical engineering, control systems, and physics at top tier institutions: Berkeley, Stanford, UCSB, and USC. We draw from work experience that includes cutting edge firms such as: Tesla, NASA, Semiconductor Technology Associates, etc. Our investors are tier one venture firms and we are advised by the best in the restaurant industry.
Moreover, if Oxford University is correct, up to half of U.S. jobs could be threatened by automation. Raising the minimum wage doesn't do any good if it causes your job to disappear faster.
As I have written for years, we need radical structural change to address the real root problems in America. These problems including central banking and the Federal Reserve's unaccountable power, TBTF banks, corporate interests running Washington D.C., a disappearance of the rule of the law, the surveillance state and out of control intelligence agencies, the militarization of the domestic police force, corruption, and an overly aggressive foreign policy.
Calling for an increase in the minimum wage sounds good, but it is a superficial and ultimately meaningless solution. If we want to be serious about change, we need to seriously and radically address the issues listed above.

If everything is automated and no one is working, who is to buy all these burgers? The robots?
I recently watched a bit of the 2003 documentary, "The Net." In it, NASA engineer Robert Taylor comments on technology (54 minutes) as a force primarily for good in our society, saying that he fears al Queda and cancer far more than technology, because technology isn't even close to reaching a point where we cannot control it.
This was pretty upsetting to me because it is painfully obvious that we are surrounded by machines that people cannot control — most obviously the government and corporations. They are machines, with their own agendas, which strip humans of their individual autonomy by coercion or force. I call them "social machines."
Within a social machine, an individual has no autonomy. Not really anyway. If you try to object to your company's policies you will be removed. If you are a CEO or board member and attempt to stop the company's destructive policies, you will be removed. If you are the president of the United States and you attempt to make changes, you will be removed.
EXAMPLE: Right after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, executive Don Cornett told Alaska residents: "You have had some good luck, and you don't realize it. You have Exxon, and we do business straight. We will consider whatever it takes to keep you whole." They then spent 20 years fighting payments. You see, even if Cornett was sincere, he couldn't have followed through on his promise. The system is set up to prevent that kind of autonomy. Even in the extreme unlikelihood that every executive at Exxon agreed to pay out immediately what was owed, a different kind of machine would have brought Exxon into line — the machine of the US market, which in turn is dominated by what Lewis Mumford called, "The Megamachine," the culture itself which determines acceptable behavior in all matters. Exxon's financial troubles, coupled with "doing the right thing" would have destroyed the company's ability to borrow and sunk it, handing it's assets to other machines. In short, the machine is self-repairing. It limits or eliminates human autonomy.
Even the president of the United States, allegedly the world's most powerful man, cannot make changes. Even by his own admission, President Obama says "Washington cannot be changed from within." Alas, it cannot be changed at all! That's the problem and that's why solutions to our crisis will not be forthcoming. They aren't just problems of finance, or government corruption. These are problems of civilization! A whole God damned apocalyptic nightmare where machines are set up to promote "rational" reactions out of people, thereby controlling them. This has the effect of forcing people, figuratively (or not), on to the train cars as they are shipped to their executions. At least there's hope of life if you obey, you might say to yourself. And you're right to say that because if you don't obey, you're dead anyway. Through rationality, the machine controls individuals. Only irrational, principled decisions have any hope of stopping such a machine, but alas, that can never happen in sufficient numbers to stop the madness.
We are doomed. Doomed to follow the orders machines give us right to the figurative (or not) gas chambers. Don't hold your breath for any solutions that don't involve complete and total collapse. That is our only hope at this juncture, short of divine intervention.
Fix your font color. It's a faint gray. Really sucks.
He's right, Mike. It's hard on the eyes.
You might make the font black, and the things you want to emphasize a bold blue or bold black in a different font or in the next font size up.

Extended mass layoffs in second quarter
August 15, 2002
In the second quarter of 2002, 1,754 extended mass layoff actions were taken by employers that resulted in the separation of 392,338 workers from their jobs.
For the second consecutive quarter, both the total number of layoff events and the number of separations were lower than in the same quarter a year earlier. The decline was most notable in manufacturing industries.
Manufacturing industries accounted for 28 percent of private-sector layoff events and 24 percent of all separations during April-June 2002. A year earlier, manufacturing accounted for 41 percent of private-sector events and 35 percent of separations.
These data are a product of the Mass Layoff Statistics program. "Extended mass layoffs" last more than 30 days and involve 50 or more individuals from a single establishment filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period. Data for the second quarter of 2002 are preliminary and subject to revision. Additional information is available in "Extended Mass Layoffs in the Second Quarter of 2002" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 02-479.

Windows and Stucco Walls. Salzburg, Austria. July 15, 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Tall stucco buildings with almost uniform white-framed windows line a narrow Salzburg, Austria street
Yes, another photograph of windows and walls along narrow back-streets in Salzburg Austria… In the late afternoon, the sun had dropped low enough that no direct light was making its way down into the canyons of these narrow streets except where the streets were pointing directly toward the sun. These buildings were a long a section where the street curved – the streets here are apparently so old that they do not follow the geometric logic of more modern cities. Along the curve the fronts of building are, obviously, going to be at slight angles to one another. Here, that bit of non-linearity, plus the converging perspective lines from the upward-pointing camera position, seemed to create a sort of off-kilter effect.

Growing up with a single parent, money was tight, but my mom always managed to take me to see a play (thanks to Hot Tix) or a visit to one of Chicago's many museums. And as an adult, I now treasure those moments and those experiences because I know how much they have shaped me as an adult, as a writer, and as a mother. It's the one thing, I want to give to my daughter, is that love and that enjoyment of culture. You never know how a seed planted now, will grow later.
This weekend we went to see The Emperor's New Clothes at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier. And it was everything you'd expect from a CST production, it was just first rate on all levels -- performances, costumes, and music. I was utterly charmed by the costumes, I know, Emperor's New clothes better have some fun costumes, right? They were just so lush and added to the over all humor of the piece. I have to tell you, between you and me, the Oversecretary played by Mark David Kaplan, Intersecretary played by George Andrew Wolff, and the Undersecretary played by Jarrod Zimmerman stole the show.
My husband and I, also appreciated the new adaptation by Alan Schmuckler and David Holstein. We love seeing modern twists on classics, especially when they are so clever incorporating by carbon footprints and text messaging into Hans Christian Andersen. The run time is 75 minutes with no intermission and the musical runs at a fun, brisk pace the kids are held in rapid attention the entire time, so you want have to worry about them getting a case of the "fidgets". If you'd like to see a video preview, please click here.
The Emperor's New Clothes runs from now through August 29, 2010, tickets are $18 - $23, special discounts for groups of ten or more. The best part is all patrons receive a 40% discount on parking, so be sure to get your parking ticket validated. And there is a coupon in the playbill for Haagen-Dazs ice cream, Buy One, Get One Half Off, so you can treat the kids after the performance.

By following the two tier training regimen, you will be able to shed 3-4 % body fat while packing on 3-4 pounds of solid muscle in 12 weeks. That reconstitution of your body will achieve an amazing transformation. But it will only work if you are managing your nutritional intake.
Train Smart, Eat Smart
80% of your body transformation success will be dictated by your nutritional habits. That means that it doesn't matter how hard you work in the gym, how much sweat you expend on your cardio sessions or how much of a pump you manage to achieve in your biceps, unless you are eating clean and smart, you will get absolutely nowhere. Here then are 6 keys to nailing your nutrition:
(1) Eat every 3 waking hours - that means about six evenly sized meals over the course of the day.
(2) Each meal should comprise 50% starchy and fibrous carbohydrates, 35% lean proteins and 15% healthy fats (focus on Omega-3 rich fatty fish and oils).
(3) Have a cheat meal once per week. Do this as early in the day as you can and don't go overboard - burger, small fries and diet soda should do it.
(4) Drink 2.5 liters of water every day.
(5) Use a protein supplement to help you get your daily protein requirement ( which should equate to 1 gram for every pound of bodyfat). Limit protein shakes to no more than 1 per day.
(6) Eat plenty of fruit. Twenty minutes prior to a work-out take in a banana or two for quick release energy during your training session.
Putting it all Together
By focusing on reconstituting your physique rather than blindly losing weight, you'll be able to create a body that you'll be proud of. To keep yourself focused and on-track set a long term goal built around a picture of the ideal physique that you would love to own. Then break that goal down into yearly, 3 monthly, monthly, weekly and daily stepping stone goals. Write out your 3 monthly goal as a positive achievement (i.e. "I have achieved 18% body-fat and I feel fantastic."). Carry this goal with you and feed on it throughout the day. By doing so you will have already achieved your goal in your mind. It won't take your body long to make it a reality.

Jewellery Adjustments We want every piece to be a perfect fit for your body, so if you require any adjustments to your chosen new item, such as a longer chain, or an altered ring size, then please contact us at one of our stores. Many adjustments can be carried out for you in a relatively short space of time. More complex adjustments or repairs may need to be returned to individual jewellery designers and this may take a little longer. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our collections we cannot guarantee that all items can be adjusted, but we will endeavour to help you in any way that we can.
Ring Size Chart Most of our jewellery designers offer a standard size for their rings, a UK size M which is equivalent to an US size 6. We offer a resizing service free of charge* for the purchase of rings by our fine jewellery designers. We cannot, however, offer ring resizing on costume pieces and some fashion design rings. To measure your finger for a ring size, take a piece of string and wrap it around the base of the finger. Use a pen to mark the point where the string overlaps, then measure the distance between these two points in millimetres to give you the circumference measurement of your finger. Finally, use our ring size conversion chart to calculate your correct ring size according to several different systems. Any good jeweller should also be able to measure your ring size for you.

One thing that was missing from VMworld…to many of us it was blatantly missing….was discussion of vCloud Director. Sure, VMware announced v5.5 but it's a very minor revision and there was no talk of a long term direction for the product. Many of us already knew why VMware wasn't saying much or hosting many sessions about vCloud…its days are numbered.
Right after VMworld ended word started to come out in articles such as this one here. The end goal is to split vCloud in to vCloud Automation Center (vCAC) and the base vSphere/vCenter stack. I'm a little disappointed that VMware wasn't more direct on this during the keynotes at the conference but they were too focused on the new and the shiny. Plus, I'm not entirely convinced they really have clear plans either. It's going to take significant changes to both vCAC and vSphere to handle the functions of vCloud today. But the real question is, what do we do right now?
What if you've already deployed vCloud or are in process? I'm having discussions with many customers about the future of their automation and provisioning and the lack of clear direction from VMware is very concerning. Most are looking to evaluate vCAC at this point along with other competitors. I expect we'll see vCloud Director adoption come to a very fast halt. But that doesn't help those that already have it out there. VMware has been extremely tight lipped about future migration options. Many of us remember…and some are still living…the move from Lab Manager to vCloud Director. It's very manual and often costly if a professional service engagement is involved. We are not interested in repeating that.
So what do you do? VMware needs to provide some direction and clarity.

The Mustangs are going for their third straight win of the season when they take on Eastern Washington in Cheney, Wash., Saturday at 3 p.m. CT. SMU is 2-0 after knocking off rival TCU 72-68 in overtime. Keena Mays has eclipsed 20 points in both games this season, scoring 25 against the Horned Frogs, and Destynee Hives McCray and Gabrielle Wilkins have each recorded a double-double. The Eagles are 0-1 after a 68-65 loss in their opener at Portland.
Keena Mays scored 22 points in the second half and overtime, finishing with 25 points to lead SMU to a 72-68 win over TCU in overtime at the Curtis Culwell Center Wednesday night. With 22 seconds left and the Mustangs leading by four, freshman Kiara Perry stole the ball at midcourt and made a fastbreak layup to give SMU a 70-64 lead with 18 seconds left, sealing the win over the rival Horned Frogs.
SMU received votes in the 2013-14 USA TODAY Sports Coaches' Poll for the second straight week. The Mustangs earned votes in the preseason poll after finishing the 2012-13 season with a 21-10 record. The Mustangs went 12-4 in Conference USA, winning the regular season in their final year in the league. SMU received votes in four straight polls last season.
EASTERN WASHINGTON: The Eagles lost their season opener at Portland, 68-65, Friday. Center Laura Hughes led the Eagles with 17 points in 18 minutes in the defeat. Eastern Washington will have had eight full days between games before facing the Mustangs on Saturday. Eastern Washington went 19-13 (14-6 Big Sky) in 2012-13, including a 10-3 home mark. Like the Mustangs, the Eagles qualified for the WNIT, falling in the first round. Junior guard Lexie Nelson returns after averaging 14.0 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, earning First Team All-Big Sky honors. Sophomore Hayle Hodgins will look to build on her strong freshman campaign, for which she was named Big Sky Freshman of the Year. Series History: This is the second meeting between SMU and Eastern Washington. The Mustangs beat the Eagles 67-60 in a regular season tournament in Laramie, Wy., on Nov. 20, 1982. It was the second game of head coach Rhonda Rompola's first season as an assistant coach at SMU.
The Devilettes are 0-3 this season, with a game at Illinois before they play SMU. A'Shanti Weathers leads the team with 11.3 per game, scoring 20 against Northern Illinois on Nov. 12, Mississippi Valley State's third game in four days to start the season. The Devilettes have scored 60 points just once, and all three opponents have scored at least 79, with Toledo scoring 95 in a 95-48 win. Series History: This is the first meeting between the two schools. SMU improved to 13-2 all-time against SWAC opponents after beating Grambling State 87-65 in the season opener.
SMU returns four starters from last year's squad, who accounted for 63 percent of the team's offense in 2012-13. Keena Mays (18.5 ppg, 3.8 apg), Akil Simpson (10.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg), Destynee Hives-McCray (8.6 ppg, 6.4 rpg) and Korina Baker (5.7 ppg, 3.6 apg) all return, along with three other contributors off the bench - Gabrielle Wilkins (6.2 ppg), Mallory Singleton (3.2 ppg, three starts) and Krystal Johnson (25 games played). Both Mays and Simpson earned all-conference honors last season, with Mays taking both Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year awards.
Keena Mays has scored at least 20 points 11 times in 25 games at SMU, including both games this season. The senior scored 22 in the opener, and finished with 25 against TCU, averaging a league-high 23.5 points per game. She is shooting 35.3 percent from 3-point range, and leads the team with 11 assists. She was named to the American Athletic Conference Preaseason All-Conference team after being named Conference USA Player of the Year as a junior. The Arlington, Texas, native was also a WBCA All-America finalist, averaging 18.4 points in 23 games last season.
Keena Mays became the first women's basketball player to earn American Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors after scoring a league-high 22 points on opening weekend, eclisping 20 in a game for the 10th time at SMU. She made eight of 11 free throws, and shot 40 percent on 3-point attempts.
Five different Mustangs have scored at least 10 points in a game this season, with three reaching double figures in both games. Keena Mays (22, 25), Akil Simpson (15, 11) and Gabrielle Wilkins (15, 11), as well as Destynee Hives-McCray (16) and Kiara Perry (12) have all tallied double digit point totals.
All nine players scored against Grambling State, the most in a game since 10 Mustangs scored at Tulane on Feb. 3, 2011, including Gabrielle Wilkins, who scored a career-high 15 points in the opener. Seven of nine players scored against TCU, with freshman Kiara Perry reaching double digits for the first time, finishing with 12 points including what proved to be the game-winning layup with 18 seconds left.
Akil Simpson is one of three Mustangs with at least 10 points in each of the first two games. The senior scored 15 points with nine rebounds against Grambling State, and had 11 points before fouling out against TCU. She leads the team and is in the top 15 in the conference, shooting 57.9 percent from the field.
Korina Baker started all 31 games last season, her first campaign as a Mustang after transferring from North Idaho College, and ranked seventh in the conference with 3.5 assists per game. Against TCU, Baker had six assists, and her 3-pointer to give SMU a 59-58 lead was the last bucket in regulation for the Mustangs. The Valleyford, Wash., native grew up approximately 30 miles from the Eastern Washington campus in Cheney, Wash.
Destynee Hives-McCray appeared in all 31 games last season, making 24 starts. She finished the season second on the team in rebounding with 6.3 per game and had a team-high seven double-doubles. Hives-McCray put together a career-best scoring performance against Southern Miss on Jan. 17, scoring 22 points to go along with 10 boards. She recorded the first double-double of the season with 16 points and 15 rebounds in the opening win, and had 10 rebounds with five points against TCU. The junior is currently tied for fifth in the conference with 10.0 rebounds per game.
Kiara Perry is the lone freshman on the roster this season. She has started both games, and nearly had her first double-double with 12 points and eight rebounds against TCU. In high school, she was named MVP at the Texas state championship tournament after leading Duncanville to its second straight state title and a 70-game winning streak spanning two seasons. In her first collegiate game, she had four assists with four rebounds and two points.
SMU enters the new American Athletic Conference this season. Members of the conference, which consists of former BIG EAST and Conference USA members, includes Connecticut, Louisville, Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, Rutgers, Temple, UCF and USF. Connecticut beat Louisville to win the 2013 NCAA championship, and the Bulls advanced to the second round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The 2014 American Women's Basketball Championship will be hosted at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., March 7-10.
The $47 million renovation and expansion of Moody Coliseum, which opened in December 1956, will be completed in December, and the Mustangs will host all conference games on campus. The renovated Moody Coliseum will provide many new and improved features, including a renovated main entry lobby, expanded concourses with raised ceilings, club seats, loge boxes, private suites, group suites, new event space, offices, team locker rooms and meeting space. SMU will play its first basketball games with a men's and women's doubleheader on Jan. 4. The women will play USF at 3:30 in ESPN3.
For the first time in program history, SMU women's basketball fans will have the opportunity to watch all 29 regular-season games live this season. The Mustangs will have two games on ESPNU this season, Dec. 29 at Louisville, and again when SMU hosts the Cardinals on Jan. 19 in the newly-renovated Moody Coliseum. ESPN will broadcast two games live on its digital channel, ESPN3, including the first game of the season in Moody Coliseum, a Jan. 4 matchup against USF. The Memphis game on Feb. 22 in the FedEx Forum will also be on ESPN3. SportsNet New York will carry both games against Connecticut. SMU will also play seven games on the American Digital Network, and the other eight home games will air on PonyUp TV.
Head coach Rhonda Rompola and associate head coach Lisa Dark have been together on the sidelines since Rompola took over the reins of the program 23 seasons ago. Assistant coach Deneen Parker is in her 19th season with the Mustangs. The SMU staff has the second longest active tenure of any staff at one school. Danny Hughes is in his fifth year with the program.
Rhonda Rompola has led the Mustangs to the NCAA Tournament seven times and the WNIT five times in 22 seasons. The Mustangs have captured two conference tournament championships, winning the Western Athletic Conference tournament in 1999 and the C-USA tournament in 2008, and three regular season titles under her leadership. She has coached three All-Americans, three Conference Players of the Year, two Conference Defensive Players of the Year and 34 All-Conference selections. Rompola has also earned six Coach of the Year honors during her career.

PicturesEmmy Rossum plays Ridley in Beautiful Creatures. The film was shot in St. Francisville, Covington and New Orleans. This film image released by Disney Enterprises shows James Franco, as Oz, left, and the character Finley, voiced by Zach Braff, are shown in a scene from "Oz the Great and Powerful." (AP Photo/Disney Enterprises) "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" "The Host" Callie Sutton| Special to theadvocate.com March 14, 2013; 7:00 p.m. Comments Books have been the basis for movies since the inception of the film industry. It seems logical to take a good story that is already established and has an audience and turn it into a screenplay. This has been true for hundreds of comic books, graphic novels, short stories, fairy tales and novels. Recently, adolescent literature has taken a giant leap to the front of the movie scene. With wildly successful series' such as Harry Potter and "The Twilight Saga"," more and more popular adolescent novels are taking their readers with them to the big screen. The following are some of the most popular adolescent novels that will be released in the theater this year. "The Host" Stephenie Meyer is at it again with another strange and twisted love story. Right on the tail of her overwhelmingly successful "Twilight" films, Meyer's sci-fi novel "The Host" is also being made into a movie, which is set to be released March 29. In the future, Earth is invaded by an alien species that travels the universe looking for worlds in turmoil. This species, called Souls on Earth, have marked humans as a race of beings unfit to survive. Rather than annihilate the planet, the Souls, never wasteful, insert themselves into humans and take over the species, body-snatcher style. "The Host" is told from the first-person perspective of the alien Soul that overtakes Melanie, one of the last human bodies that still retains a human consciousness. The Soul, calling herself Wanderer, shares Melanie's memories as well as her emotions. They become unexpected allies and run off to find, rescue and protect Jared, the man they love. The screenplay is adapted and directed by Andrew Nicoll ("In Time," "Gattaca"). Saoirse Ronan ("Hanna," "The Lovely Bones") stars as Melanie Stryder and will be joined by Diane Kruger, Max Irons and William Hurt. "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" The long-awaited sequel to "Percy Jackson: Lightning Thief" finally makes its way to the theater on Aug. 16 with "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters." Based on the Rick Riordan novel of the same name, the demigod Percy Jackson must try to live a normal life during the school year, but returns to Camp Half-Blood every summer to continue his training to battle monsters that threaten the human race. When Percy is suddenly attacked at his new school, he must return to the camp earlier than anticipated. He and his friends Annabeth, Clarisse and Tyson must then journey to the Sea of Monsters to acquire the Golden Fleece, and rescue their friend Grover, who has been taken prisoner by a Cyclops. The friends embark on a whirlwind adventure that takes them to unfamiliar places to battle unfamiliar monsters. Logan Lerman returns as Percy Jackson, along with Brandon T. Jackson as the satyr Grover and Sean Bean as Zeus. Also in the cast as Annabeth is Alexandra Daddario and "Firefly" and "Castle" star Nathan Fillion as Hermes. "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" "The Mortal Instruments" series was written by Cassandra Clare and is full of romance, mystery and adventure. In the upcoming "City of Bones" film, Clary Fray inadvertently witnesses a murder at a night club, and is shocked when no one else can see what she sees. The 15-year-old is in for even more upheaval when her mother disappears. She is thrust into a world of Shadowhunters in which fairies, werewolves and vampires abound. Enter Jace Wayland, an attractive young Shadowhunter who helps Clary on her quest to rescue her mother. "City of Bones" stars Lilly Collins ("Mirror Mirror") as Clary Fray and Jamie Campbell Bower ("The Twilight Saga") as the dashing Jace Wayland. Also in the cast are Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Lena Headey and Aiden Turner. Though the film doesn't have a lot of big names, this may be the movie that pushes them to super-stardom. "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" is set for release Aug. 13. "Ender's Game" Scheduled to release Nov. 13, "Ender's Game" is based on two novels written in 1985, "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow" by Orson Scott Card. When the alien Buggers invade Earth for the third time, the government recruits child geniuses to train at Battle School so they can be the next line of defense. Ender Wiggins is one of those children, though his genius brother Peter and genius sister Valentine are not among the chosen. "Ender's Game," winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards in 1986, has been given rave reviews as a science fiction novel. The movie version will include big names, such as Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley and Abigail Breslin, along with the Hugo star, Asa Butterfield. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" The sequel to "The Hunger Games," written by Suzanne Collins, is set to hit the big screen on Nov. 22. The highly anticipated movie begins right where its predecessor left off. Katniss and Peeta have won the Hunger Games to the shock and awe of all the districts. They have also inadvertently stirred acts of rebellion across the outer districts through their act of defiance. Though they were just trying to stay alive, they have shown the districts that the Capitol cannot keep them subdued forever. President Snow and the leaders of the Capitol want to snuff out these little flames that have started to erupt. The Quarter Quell, a special edition of the Hunger Games, is the perfect way to exact revenge and show the masses that defying the Capitol is unwise. Peeta and Katniss have to take part in a second Hunger Games in which they compete against past winners from each of the districts. The battle pits friend against friend and causes new alliances to spring forth. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth return as the young heroes of an unfortunate love triangle. Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland will again flex their acting muscles and add spice to the otherwise overly dramatic cast. Fans of the book should also anticipate Sam Claflin's take on the infamous Finnick Odair. With such a star-studded cast, the second installment in this dramatic adventure should be well worth the wait. Along with the movies above, "Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box" by G.P. Taylor and Shakespeare's classic "Romeo and Juliet" will also be coming to the big screen this year. "Beautiful Creatures" and "The Great and Powerful Oz, "which are also based on adolescent novels, have already been released with mixed reviews. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

EESC's diet for Europe: fighting against obesity
Health, Citizenship,Administrations States,
The opinion, drawn up by Ms Madi Sharma, deals with the growing number of obese people and notably children in Europe and proposes concrete measures, for example the "obesity check campaign". The opinion will be followed by a best practice document. M. Kyprianou congratulated Ms Sharma for her opinion. The Commission counts on the help of the Committee, notably in the obesity platform. "More than 14 million children are overweight in Europe, including 3 million obese. But even more worrying: this number rises by 400.000 each year," Ms Sharma explained during the presentation of her own-initiative report. Furthermore, the economic and social costs of this plague are "no laughing matter" but a serious problem, with rising health costs and the premature death of many obese people. Ms Sharma called for a collective effort of all stakeholders, industry and member states, but - above all – individuals, that have to change their habits: "We have to stop the blame game and start working together". Ms Sharma explained that the Committee has to be at the front of the fight against obesity. Numerous EESC members and the secretariat have already committed themselves to join in. She has set a personal example: During the work on the report, Ms Sharma has lost 10 kilos herself, by eliminating a number of unhealthy foodstuffs and by starting to do more exercise. Markos Kyprianou, Commissioner for Health and Consumer protection, thanked Ms Sharma for her engagement in the Commission's platform on obesity and for her valuable contribution. He called for a "cultural change, a change of lifestyle", but a continuous effort will be necessary to bring about that change. The Commission is counting on the Committee to help promote that change. "Obesity check" campaign The opinion calls for an "obesity check": a campaign designed to raise awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the responsibility of all parties in preventing obesity. The campaign should focus on the education process across the population, reach every European citizen and bring together individuals and organisations alike to commit some of their spare time to the fight against obesity, creating a momentum on all levels, from enterprises and governments down to the individual. Ms Sharma is drawing up a best practice document that will accompany her opinion, and will be widely distributed by the EESC. Ms Sharma is happy to receive further contributions for best-practice examples in fighting obesity (contact: Madi Sharma). The opinion will be debated in the EESC 28/29 September plenary session.

|Statistics of zeroes of zeta functions of a family of curves over a finite field, II
|Algebra and Number Theory Seminar
|Maosheng Xiong, Penn State University
|The Katz-Sarnak theorem gives a nice description on the statistics of zeroes of zeta functions of a family of curves (or varieties) over a finite field in the limit that the field size goes to infinity. The motivating question, originated by Rudnick and his coauthors, is what happens if the field size is fixed and other parameters go to infinity. In this talk I will explain some results in this direction. This talk is a continuation of a similar talk I gave last September. There are significant overlaps. However, the presentation will be much better, old results will be much refined, and I will also give a preliminary report on elliptic curves over the rational function field.

The protozoans, unlike bacteria and fungi, do not have a cell wall. They have a nucleus and a cytoplasm that is surrounded by a selectively permeable cell (plasma) membrane. The cytoplasm contains organelles similar to those found in other animal and plant cells (e.g., mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum). Thus, most of the antibiotics effective in inhibiting bacteria are not active against protozoans. Amphotericin B, however, reacts with sterols, which are components of both fungal and protozoal membranes. Most of the drugs used in the chemotherapy of diseases caused by the protozoans are derived from plants or are synthetic chemical compounds.
Metronidazole is usually given orally for the treatment of vaginal infections caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, and it is effective in treating bacterial infections caused by anaerobes. It affects these organisms by causing nicks in, or breakage of, strands of DNA or by preventing DNA replication.
Iodoquinol inhibits several enzymes of protozoans. It is given orally for treating asymptomatic amebiasis and is given either by itself or in combination with metronidazole for intestinal and hepatic amebiasis. Balantidium coli and Dientamoeba fragilis infections also are treated with iodoquinol. Emetine, an alkaloid derived from ipecac syrup, is obtained from the roots of Cephaelis ipecacuanha, a plant native to Brazil. It is used along with iodoquinol or chloroquine phosphate as alternative therapy for treatment of severe intestinal and hepatic amebiasis. Emetine is given by injection and can cause serious toxicity. Dehydroemetine is less toxic than emetine and may be used as an alternative drug.
Quinacrine is the drug of choice for giardiasis, an infection of the intestine caused by a flagellated amoeba. Quinacrine inserts itself into DNA, thereby ultimately preventing the synthesis of nucleic acids. It is given orally and can cause yellow staining of skin and sclera and deposition of blue and black pigment in the nail beds.
Trypanosomes are flagellated protozoans that cause a number of diseases. Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, is treated with nifurtimox, a nitrofuran derivative. It is given orally and results in the production of activated forms of oxygen, which are lethal to the parasite. Other forms of trypanosomiasis (African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness) are caused by T. brucei gambiense or T. brucei rhodesiense. When these parasites invade the blood or lymph, the drug of choice for either form is suramin , a nonmetallic dye that affects glucose utilization and hence energy production. Because suramin is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, it is given by intravenous injection. Eflornithine is also used in the treatment of T. b. gambiense. In the late form of trypanosomiasis, when the parasites have invaded the central nervous system, eflornithine or melarsoprol are used for T. b. gambiense and melarsoprol for T. b. rhodesiense.
Pneumocystis carinii causes pulmonary disease in immunocompromised patients. These infections are treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, which inhibits folic acid synthesis in protozoans. An alternative agent for treatment of these diseases is pentamidine isethionate, which probably affects the parasite by binding to DNA. Because the drug is not well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, it is given by the intramuscular route.
Malaria is one of the more serious protozoal infections. Chloroquine phosphate, given orally, is the drug of choice for prophylaxis and treatment. In regions where chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum is encountered, however, pyrimethamine, in combination with sulfadoxine, is used for prophylaxis. Both drugs interfere with folic acid synthesis and are well tolerated. Quinine sulfate, along with pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine, are used to treat infections caused by chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum. A high level of quinine in the plasma frequently is associated with cinchonism, a mild adverse reaction associated with such symptoms as a noise in the ears (tinnitus), headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and visual disturbance. Primaquine phosphate is given orally to prevent attacks after a person has left an area where P. vivax and P. ovale are endemic and to prevent relapses with the same organisms.
FungusFocus objective: Information on symptoms, medical diagnosis, treatment, and cure of fungus infections and yeast infections, especially systemic, chronic, or recurrent fungal infection and yeast infection caused by Candida albicans intestinal yeast overgrowth (Candidiasis). For treatments addressing the symptoms of Candida albicans intestinal yeast infection.

Still camping out at her parents' home with her husband and son (Jackie was in college), DiPasquale clung to the comfort of domestic routines. She ferried Adam to soccer, band practice and guitar lessons. One day she posted a link on her Facebook page to a YouTube video of Adam jamming with his band. A colleague from her L.A. days shared the clip with an agent. Three months after Hurricane Sandy, DiPasquale found herself sitting in a New York City studio watching Adam's band, Vin-Taze, perform in front of two Hollywood producers, cameras rolling. "It was the first day since the storm that I zoomed in on something fun and positive," says DiPasquale. The group didn't make it past a callback, but they were already focusing on their next big gig: a Superstorm Sandy benefit in which they would team up with celebrities. As spring gave way to summer, her son's band landed more gigs. Prepping for shows and auditions with the kids brought some cheer to DiPasquale. It also stirred up her long-buried desire to perform. One day, DiPasquale started thinking about how determined she'd once been to sing and act. She'd even had a stage name, Laura Lee. She thought, That is who I am; I miss it. After her kids were born, she buried her dreams beneath the business of motherhood, but now she felt she'd been using the family as an excuse not to follow her heart. "Going through the storm was cleansing, literally and figuratively," she says. "I said to myself, What are you waiting for?" In June she entered a karaoke competition and won. Then she auditioned for a community-theater production of The Wizard of Oz and got called back for the part of the Wicked Witch. Though she didn't land the role, she felt a rush that came with returning to her performing roots.
In July, for her birthday, DiPasquale and her family partied at the beach, an annual tradition. "All the negativity went away," she says. That night she performed at a local bar, and the deejay, an old friend, asked her if she'd consider auditioning for NBC's The Voice. Without hesitation, she replied, "Why not? Laura Lee is back."
What you can do to help
When a natural calamity strikes, who among us hasn't longed to lend a hand? This past summer, More staffers got the chance: 15 of us (along with 300 other volunteers from our parent company Meredith Corporation) swooped down on Gerritsen Beach, in Brooklyn, New York, where Superstorm Sandy had sent seawater into nearly all the homes. The nonprofit organization Rebuilding Together, which annually completes 10,000 projects using 200,000 volunteers, sponsored the event.
Associate editor Lauren Williams spent the day painting in one of the houses. "People were also repairing the deck," she says. "The mom, the dad and their little daughter were living on the upper floor, and they kept coming downstairs to say how grateful they were."
Mackie Siebens, an editorial assistant, hoped for an assignment "that would make me break a sweat," she says, and she got it. The mission of her team, which included More's -editor-in-chief and -managing editor, was to clean up and replant a community garden. Mackie spent the day digging and hauling wheelbarrows full of weeds and roots to a Dumpster.

This year's Madden will have a drastically different feel on defense, thanks to improved coverage and pass rush.
Over the past ten years, the Madden series has done a lot of things to spice up the offensive game, but now entering their second year on next generation consoles, the team at EA Triberon knew that adjustments had to be made on defense as well.
Among the many changes, according to Electronic Arts, are less time in the pocket, which will force quarterbacks to make decisions faster, no more running around waiting for someone to get open- and tougher coverage, as well as improved pass rush.
Rex Dickson, Creative Director Gameplay for "Madden NFL 15" even said the team has been hard at work making adjustments to separate elite quarterbacks from mediocre ones, which will continue the effort to make it more difficult to score.
Offenses beware, Madden just got a whole lot tougher.
"Expect more realistic pass rush pressure (less time in the pocket) and dramatically improved coverage AI this year that absolutely change the way the game feels," Dickson told Examiner in an exclusive interview. "Additionally, our new pass accuracy system has a massive impact on both passing and catching while also creating clear separation between elite QBs and everybody else."
"Madden NFL 15" is set for a release on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on Aug. 26.
So what do you think about the game's new focus on defense? Will you pick up this year's version of Madden because of it? Sound off in the comments section below.

James Knowles suggests
I currently think of him as a French Canadian voyageur who became intrigued by the southerly waters and paddled his canoe down from Lake Champlain, down the Hudson River to its mouth and then making an unfortunate turn down what is now the East River. He became embroiled in the confluence of water flows as the East River meets the influx from Long Island Sound. He was dumped into the waters along with his eight Indian paddlers and an old friend named Murray. Everything lost, wet and bedraggled, they made land about where the United Nations stands so monarchically today.
I refer to him as Roger with a French accent.
Perhaps his name was derived from the marriage of a Roger and a Smith, and originally Roger-Smith was a woman. The product of a French and English love affair on an island up in the great St. Lawrence River, the highway to the American Heartland. Her father Adolfe Roger would have married Jane Smith in 1668. Their daughter, the original Roger-Smith, was named Lily and bore a marvelous but intenerate adventurer and the son was therefore named after his mother. Jean Roger-Smith anglicized his name to John after the East River Debacle around the turn of the century (ca.1701).
Or was he an Amazonian adventurer, who robbed banks and knew Pancho Villa, and ennobled many acquaintances by his wisdom and presence... a brave and valiant warrior for peace.
It could have been none of this and referred to an unhappy but successful merchant from Bridgeport whose history embarrassed him it was so dull.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I got this truck because I need to haul supplies to and from my construction job. I really like this truck because its got great towing capacity which Comes in handy when I'm going 4 wheeling. There's also trunk space where I can pack my hunting gear so that's a big plus for me. I wanted to get a ford f-150 but this Mazda was cheaper and to me, just as good. So I wasn't gonna pay extra for a truck that didn't do anything extra in terms of adding value for me. The really great thing about this truck is its ability to handle tough terrain. Last weekend me and my buddies decided to go fishing so we hitched my boat to the truck and went off. The lake we were going to was a bit out of the way, and we had to pass through really muddy and rocky roads. But the Mazda was an absolute tank and got down to the lake with ease. When we needed to unload the boat we had to do so by backing up on a steep incline and unhitching it from there. I was really afraid that the wheels were gonna slip since it was muddy and send my truck into the lake! No such thing happened, it was absolutely steady in reverse and navigated the slope without any problems. I do not like the fuel efficiency of this truck, since the gas prices have been going up, but that doesn't bother me that much.

The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it, if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)
Contributed by: Zaady
Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.
Each child represents either a potential addition to the protective capacity and enlightened citizenship of the nation or, if allowed to suffer from neglect, a potential addition to the destructive forces of a community. . . . The interests of the nation are involved in the welfare of this array of children no less than in our great material affairs.
There is a point, of course, where a man must take the isolated peak and break with all his associates for clear principle; but until that time comes he must work, if he would be of use, with men as they are. As long as the good in them overbalances the evil, let him work with them for the best that can be obtained.
We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage. For us it is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out
The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything. Do not be afraid to make mistakes providing you do not make the same one twice.
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.

Though conditions have grown puzzling in their complexity, though changes have been vast, yet we may remain absolutely sure of one thing; that now as ever in the past, and as it will ever be in-the future, there can be no substitute for elemental virtues, for the elemental qualities to which we allude when we speak of a man, not only as a good man, but as emphatically a man. We can build up the standard of individual citizenship and individual well-being, we can raise the national standard and make it what it can and shall be made, only by each of us steadfastly keeping in mind that there can be no substitute for the world-old commonplace qualities of truth, justice, and courage, thrift, industry, common sense and genuine sympathy with the fellow feelings of others.
Keep your eyes on the stars, keep your feet on the ground.

Wheelchair Motorbike
A revolutionary new wheelchair motorbike recently arrived in New Zealand.

Yesterday I posted on processed foods. Charlotte with EFT4ADD left a comment regarding the reactions children can have to their environment. Some of the things that can affect you and your children are things we hear about often… food allergies. Some things you may not think of that could be affecting your child's behavior are things in the environment.
One of the interviews in "Parenting Can Be Easier" I created, I spoke with Gene Monterastelli from EFTQandA.com. He speaks of some work where he was able to clear some allergic reactions a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The child went from being diagnosed at functioning at an 18 month level to 5 years in two and a half weeks.
I believe that Charlotte with EFT4ADD also does this type of work and has had similar results. Me personally, I would try something like working with them or the allergy ellimination that Dr. Rapp, M.D. speaks of in this video.
Another great resource for looking at this subject is a book by Dr. Mark Hyman called the
The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First
. I love what he says in the book about disorders… ADD/ADHD is not a Ritalin deficiency, depression is not a Prozac deficiency…. what we are seeing is a gut problem showing up in the mind.
I highly recommend this book for everyone, not only parents that have special needs children.
Here's to being a Passion Parent!

It may be cool outside this weekend, but lower temperatures are no match for adventure-seekers on the hunt for interesting and educational treasure at Fernbank Museum of Natural History's second annual Pirate Weekend.
Fernbank is located at 767 Clifton Road, NE in Atlanta.
Its exhibit, "Water: H20= Life" provides a fitting backdrop for the specially-themed event, and why not? Water is something no pirate takes for granted.
After learning from the exhibit how water touches all areas of life, no one else should, either.
The "Water" exhibit has interactive features, impressive recreations of natural scenery, and an abundance of information. Learn more about the exhibit here.
Fernbank urges kids -- or "mateys and lasses," to don their best pirate wear – "to avoid walking the plank," of course.
Hours for the Pirate Weekend are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 6 and noon to 4 p.m. on Nov. 7.
Here's what you have to look forward to:
- Recycled Craft Corner. Little pirates get to make their own swords and hats out of newsprint.
- Pirate Name Generator. Get your rightful pirate name at this activity.
- Temporary Tattoos. Please note: The line closes at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, so get there early to get your special mark.
- Limbo Contest. You might want to do plenty of stretches before showing off your flexibility and agility, mates.
- Dem Bones. Put together the puzzle of pirate bones.
- "Fool's Gold." How good is your eye for the real thing?
- Museum Scavenger Hunt. See who can provide the right answers to Museum questions and gets the treasure -- it might be you!
Fernbank says Pirate Weekend activities and the "Water" exhibition are included with museum admission and free for members. Museum admission is $15 for adults, $14 for students and seniors, and $12 for children ages 12 and under. For tickets call 404.929.6400 or visit fernbankmuseum.org.

Travel Channel host Don Wildman and the "Mysteries at the Museum" crew made their way to another Cleveland historical exhibit - "Balto and the Legacy of the Serum Run" at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
This permanent exhibit showcases the Alaskan Iditarod made famous by the serum run in Nome, Alaska in 1925. The most impressive and best-loved part of the exhibit is Balto himself, who was mounted after his death and put on display to honor his heroic feat.
Some may have heard of Balto, but not many know his full story or his connection to Cleveland. Back in the 1920s, before Alaska was officially a U.S. state, Nome was covered in ice the majority of the year, the nearest railroad was over 650 miles away, and there really was no easy access to the area.
This seclusion was made more evident when on January 20, 1925, a diphtheria outbreak spread through the town. Desperate for help, the found out Seattle the serum they needed. But getting the serum would be no easy task. They could fly the serum to Anchorage, send it on a train to Nenana, but then required the efforts of sled dogs to complete the journey. Time was of the essence.
The most important member of each sled team was the lead dog. Balto was tasked with the job of leading his group. When his sled team made it to their final post to exchange serum to the last team, they found the musher still asleep, so they went on ahead. Going over dangerous terrain in sometimes stormy conditions, Balto and his team of driver and dogs completed the final run. At one point Balto even successfully stopped the team from going into a river during white-out conditions.
Balto and the other sled teams completed a 674 mile trip in just over 127 hours - a world record for mushers. They delivered the serum on February 2, 1925 and became instant celebrities. Balto's owner allowed a Hollywood producer to borrow Balto and a few other dogs for a film project. Soon after, the dogs spent years touring in shows before their celebrity status wore off. A Cleveland businessman, George Kimble, discovered Balto and the others in a museum suffering and mistreated. Kimble wanted to get the dogs out of the deplorable conditions and offered to buy the dogs. With two weeks to raise the money, messages were broadcast on radio and in newspapers in order to raise funds for the dogs. People all over gave generously and the dogs were purchased for $2,000.
The dogs were brought back to Cleveland where they enjoyed great fanfare upon their arrival. Balto spent the rest of his life living comfortably at the Brookside Zoo (now the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo). Balto died on March 14, 1933 at age 14.
Visitors to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History can see Balto and be reminded of his heroic deeds and the generosity of Cleveland to allow him and the other hero dogs to retire with dignity.
Stay tuned for the third and final part of this 3-part series.

Here we define those primes $p$ for which $\operatorname{ord}_p(2)=s$, where $s$ is the minimum of the set $S$ of all divisors $d\mid p-1$ such that $2^d-1\geq p$.
For example: for $p=7$, $s=3$, $7\mid 2^3-1$ thus $\operatorname{ord}_p(2)=s=3$ ($7$ is such a prime).
Questions: how many such primes are there? Are such primes interesting?
