Multiple studies have shown that high fat low carb ketogenic diets can boost weight loss, and the most well-known plan is the Atkins diet. Although it's existed for years, Sharon Osbourne recently chose it for her own weight loss, providing the company with a new opportunity to highlight the benefits.
Sharon has lost about 30 pounds thus far.
What's special about the Atkins diet and other high fat low carb ketogenic diets (LCHF): It causes the body to burn fat for energy, explained Vice President of Nutrition and Education at Atkins Nutritionals, Inc., Colette Heimowitz, in an exclusive interview.
"The key to losing weight is lowering carbohydrate intake and replacing high sugar carbs with healthy fats," she told me. "When carbs are low enough the body will burn fat for fuel so you lose the extra fat you have stored on your body and you burn the fat you are eating for energy."
When the Atkins diet book was first published by Dr. Robert Atkins, it drew criticism for emphasizing saturated fats. Now, however, new studies have shown that certain fats benefit health as well as weight loss.
In the category of healthy fats: "Monounsaturated fat like nuts, avocado, salmon, and olive oil. It also includes some saturated fat like eggs, cheese, butter, and coconut oil," said Colette.
The Atkins diet consists of phases, beginning with a jump-start ketogenic induction.
But do you need to follow the Atkins diet to use a ketogenic approach? No.
Two experts who examined the benefits of nutritional ketosis and how to achieve it are Stephen D. Phinney and Jeff S. Volek. They documented their significant body of work in "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable."
For those who think that carbohydrates are essential for energy and health, Dr. Phinney said this in an exclusive interview: "The concept that humans 'need a certain amount of dietary carbs for proper function of the body' has no basis in science. It is a myth perpetuated by the USDA and the dietetic establishment."
In one study challenging that "myth," two individuals consumed no carbohydrates for a year with no negative consequences while closely observed in a hospital. In another study, researchers "infused insulin into obese humans in fasting ketosis and demonstrated that they had no symptoms of hypoglycemia despite blood sugar levels that should have caused them to be in a coma," noted Dr. Phinney.
That latter study demonstrated that our bodies function just fine on ketones no matter what your blood glucose level. But what precisely is a ketogenic diet, and how does it work for weight loss while enhancing parameters of health such as cholesterol level and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes?
Dr. Phinney defines a ketogenic diet as one with total carbohydrates between 10 to 50 grams daily. The rest of the diet consists of fats (example: avocado, nuts and olive oil) and protein (example: chicken, cheese. beef, eggs, pork and turkey). Add to that copious amounts (5 servings per day) of non-starchy vegetables to provide important minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
"People on a well-formulated ketogenic diet maintain normal blood sugar levels because their bodies' learn to use much, much less blood sugar," Dr. Phinney explained. Morever, as their bodies become keto-adapted and burn fat for energy, "the liver can make enough glucose via gluconeogenesis to supply that small amount of blood sugar that is actually consumed."
In the book that he authored with Volek, the ideal ketogenic diet is high in fat, low in carbohydrates and moderate in protein. They advise consuming .7 to .9 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
Franziska Spritzler, a registered dietitian specializing in low carb diets, offered this explanation of how nutritional ketosis works in an exclusive interview: "When carbohydrates are restricted, the liver produces ketones to provide an alternative energy source to glucose. Once serum ketones rise to about 0.5, one is said to be in nutritional ketosis, which can be beneficial for weight loss because insulin levels remain low and appetite tends to be depressed."
A frequently asked question: What should be the percentage of fat to protein, particularly when weight loss stalls? "I would recommend decreasing fat and increasing protein in this case," said Spritzler. "Unless the meat is extremely fatty, ketone levels will be lower after a steak than after a large hunk of cheese. However, the meat will have a more beneficial effect on weight loss and body composition."
Fat Fasts also have become popular. However, very few experts currently recommend them. Jimmy Moore has authored a new book explaining how to achieve nutritional ketosis and sustain it: Learn more by clicking here.

Our annual Easter Fair was a day of fun for all the family which included Splat the Rat, Treasure Island, Bouncy Castles and face painting.
Stalls included gifts for Mother's Day, daffodils, and a fabulous selection of home-baked cakes.
The highlight of the event this year was a stall devised and run by our School Council; each child in school was given a plastic pint pot to take home, decorate and fill with an Easter theme. Children in the School Council had the difficult decision of judging one winner from each class. The prizes of Easter activity books were presented in the weekly awards assembly. All of the pots were raffled off at the Easter Fair.
Staff, parents and friends all contributed to making the day a huge success raising £1600 for PTFA funds.

Thanks for the heads up
Thanks for the heads up
Revision as of 20:55, 16 December 2007
It is important that the existing version of the article (and its associated script) are archived. I recommend moving them to "Installing PHP5/old" and "Installing PHP5/old/script". You can go ahead and do this if you want, but remember that you will need to preserve the bit about using DreamHost's default PHP5 installation (which needs cleaning up a little bit), and you will need to move the talk pages too. Then you can replace the old crap with your new script. I recommend doing the move manually, rather than trying to use the wiki's own move system. -- Scjessey 12:31, 19 September 2007 (PDT)
PHP5 Install Script
Mousee I have been working on a newer version of the PHP5 installer script for DreamHost that's a bit more interactive (e.g. interactive question answering) and fluid. If you'd like to see visual preview screenshots and/or source code to it let me know and I'll be happy to provide it :) -- Exsecror 23:04, 2 October 2007 (PDT)
- Thanks! I've been working on the same exact thing for a while now, I've just been too busy to finish it. Feel free to commit your idea to the development PHP5 script if you want though and we can chat about it on the discussion page. I'll be moving the current script there to the main guide shortly (hopefully this weekend). - Mousee 09:32, 5 October 2007 (PDT)
- I'm a long way still, I just finished getting the libmhash patch routines done to fix some critical holes/bugs in libmhash but I should have it done in a few days. -- Exsecror 18:40, 5 October 2007 (PDT)
Ok I changed the function name from askapache_grab to aa_grab. Its a habit of mine to prefix all my functions with something unique like aa_ or askapache_ to avoid conflicting problems with other functions.
I also removed the permanent link to the official curl download mirror hosted by dreamhosts servers at curl.askapache.com and changed it back to the internationally hosted curl.haxx.se(slower response times, longer dns lookup times, etc.) That was there because I updated the code to include the latests curl release, 7.17.1, so I modified some of the urls in the code to reflect those changes and urls that I tested. I was just coding for myself and I guess I am just missing some filters! :)
Thanks for the heads up
- You're good dude - and many thanks for correcting it so quickly. It's one of the few articles I plan to eventually re-due, hence my err.. "vigilance" on it ;) - Mousee 19:55, 16 December 2007 (PST)

In 1852 a planter by the name of Simeon Lake, his wife Nancy, and their children migrated to Freestone county, Texas from South Carolina, via Arkansas, in four wagons, pulled by 10 oxen. They brought with them, five slaves, Edward "Ned" Titus, his wife Chlorie (Dunbar) Titus and their children. The male slaves helped with the outside work and the females did all the cooking and housework. The household chores consisted of cleaning, washing , ironing, sewing, cooking,and quilt making, etc.
Among Edward "Ned" and Chlorie's eleven children was born a son, named Walter, in 1856. When Walter matured, he took as wife, Miss Patsie Reddick. They were the parents of one daughter, Ellen Anna Titus, born in 1884.
Patsie was considered to be a good housekeeper, cook and mother. She was talented at quilt making. She had all the skills a man was taught to look for in a woman. She taught all these skills to her daughter, Ellen Anna, at a very early age. Ellen Anna wed at the age of 15 to Willie Anderson Durham. They had eleven offspring of which four were daughters. Ellen Anna taught her daughters the same skills her mother had passed on to her. She started their training as early as eight years old; her youngest daughter Katie Mae Tatum, is quoted as saying. Katie Mae was born in 1917 and her mother died when she was around 12 years old.
With these two African American women began a legacy of African American M-provisational Folk art Quilt making that has survived the rigors of time through five, and going on six generations. The Titus family lineage has culminated into the creation of a series of reversible family story quilts which Patsie's great, great granddaughter, Sherry A. Byrd works on passionately, in her spare time.
Sherry was born and raised in Fairfield, Texas, Freestone county in 1951, the centennial year of the town. The place where she was born is not many miles from Ward's Prairie and Brown's Creek, areas in which Edward "Ned" and his family were settled. She is the mother of eight children and her parents are Connie and Laverne (Henry) Brackens. Laverne is the great granddaughter of Patsie (Reddick)Titus and Walter Titus. Laverne's mother, Gladys (Durham) Henry is Patsie's granddaughter.
In the l950's when Sherry was growing up, she had plenty of exposure to quilt making as her grandmother, Gladys, served as Nanny for about 20 of her own grandchildren, while their mothers worked away from home on secular jobs. "Big Mama", as all called her, had plenty of chores to keep these energetic hands busy and active at all times. One of these tasks was "tacking' quilts. Big Mama sewed, pieced and quilted five days per week. Many times Sherry was drafted for this monotonous chore. Probably because as a young girl she could not resist the enticing sounds made by her grandmother's Singer sewing machine. Nor could she resist the beautiful colorful cloth patches and the erratic designs of her grandmother's "throw together" quilts. She loved watching the process of completing a quilt happen and wished she could make something pretty too. But the string tying was boring and playing outside making mud cakes with Big Mama's real chicken eggs was far more exciting. Maybe one day when she grew up she would make a quilt but not now. On the other hand, Sherry did like to make doll clothes and occasionally Big Mama would give her cloth scraps , a needle, and some thread to do so. Once, she even let her try out out her sewing machine.
May l969, Sherry graduated from High School. In the fall, she entered Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. Her twelfth grade homeroom teacher, Mrs. Pattie Jones, believed she had the possible making of an artist and helped secure a small scholarship and a part time job to help pay her way through school. In l972, Sherry graduated with a BA in History and Art.
While attending Sam Houston State University, Sherry met Curtis Byrd, Sr., her future husband. They were married in 1973. Now her life became extremely hectic with child bearing, child rearing, religious activities, and assisting her husband in his secular self employment of recycling. There was still no time for quilt making.
l984 brought a dramatic change to Sherry's life. Her seventh child, a son, was stillborn. To cope with the grief and depression, Sherry turned to quilt making. She started with a cribsized quilt and then made several more. She distributed these to friends who had given birth. Her confidence was elevated by the success of these smaller projects so she felt ready to tackle a full-sized quilt. Her first one ever. Before she could finish it, her husband, Curtis claimed it as his own and therefore the quilt was named "Dad's Quilt". It still adorns the couple's bed every winter.
1986--Sherry came across an ad in a supermarket tabloid paper that simply stated, "I buy quilts, old and new." She called the phone number listed and made acquaintance with Mr. Eli Leon, a collector and scholar who was researching African American quilts. This relationship directed her quilt making on a journey that has taken many twists and turns. The journey has been and still is a wonderful one.
Sherry introduced Eli to her mother and grandmother. He traveled to Texas and purchased quilts and tops from both of them. He also purchased tops from Sherry's daughter, Bara. These quilts were exhibited as a group at the High Museum in Atlanta, GA___ in the exhibit, "No Two Alike", 1996-97.
The success of these exhibits stirred in Sherry the desire to know why so many people were becoming interested in throw together quilts. So she began a research of the topic that has led to the discovery of a wonderful and fantastic family legacy of quiltmaking.
During this research period, other amazing events occurred which has added to the richness of the experience. In 1997, British Airways commissioned fifty ethnic artworks from around the world to have painted and displayed on their over 300+ Boeing jet tail fins. They wanted to create a new image for themselves. Sherry's quilt, "Champagne" was chosen as one of those artworks. Her quilt became a part of British Airway's" Sky high Gallery."
Next,in 1998, Texas Folk life Resources gallery director, Pat Jasper, contacted Sherry and her mother. She curated the exhibit "Quilts of Color"Three generations in an Afro-Texan Family". This exhibit included quilts created by Sherry's( grandmother), Glady's Henry, (her great aunt), Katie Mae Tatum,( her mother), Laverne Brackens and Sherry. It included percision made as well as M-privosational quilts. The Titus family speaks two quilt making languages fluently. Also several Titus family apprentices took part in a workshop that was a part of the exhibit. They were Sarah E. Byrd, Nikki Brackens, Tysha Brackens and Cephas Byrd.
At the "Quilts of Color" workshop, September 18, l999, Sherry presented to the public for the first time ever the story quilt "Homegrown/Handmade/Passed-On Family ." This was a brainchild that culminated from her previous research into the family's history. She had worked on it progressively for close to three years and it still had not been completed. Homegrown story quilt Chronicles the background of the Titus family, basically from around 1852-2000. The crowd loved it even though it was still incomplete.
The quilt had such a great impact that, Suzanne Seriff, a guest curator attending the workshop for the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, invited Sherry to exhibit the quilt at the new opening of the state museum for their inaugural exhibit titled "It Ain't Braggin' If It's True". By the time of the inaugural opening, Sherry had managed to bring the story quilt to a relative conclusion.
The crowds loved it once again as the following quotes reveal:
July 2,2001__"...I cannot tell you how much the visitors to the museum have raved over your quilt. So many stop, and look, and study it, and try to read the script and tease the stories out of the images! It is really something else!..."
Suzanne Seriff, Guest Curator
"It Ain't Braggin If It's True"
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
Austin, Texas
December, 2001__Dear, Mrs Byrd,...The exhibit has been a great success...thanks to lenders such as yourself sharing artifacts with a wider audience...
January, 2002__ ...We are pleased to have had your wonderful quilt in our exhibit "It Ain't Braggin' If It's True"...thank you for your participation in our exhibit. Over 500,000 visitors have come to see the museum since we opened last April!
Meredith Sutton
Museum Registrar
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
The greatest honor resulting from the Bob Bullock Museum experience was the fact that President George W. Bush, First Lady Laura Bush, Mrs. Jan Bullock, Governor Rick Perry, former Texas governors Preston Smith, Dolph Briscoe, and Bill Clements along with a crowd of 500 Texas state government officials and their families were among the over 500,000 visitors who had the opportunity to view "Homegrown" at the inaugural opening of the State Museum. African American "Throw Together" M-provisational quilts have come a long way in the history making process...from covering slave beds to works of Art on Museum walls! It is truly amazing and a wonder to behold.
The joy experienced by the family members is unbridled. What will happen next in this unique journey? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, Sherry continues to create. For 20 years, since l986, she has been collecting quilt blocks from family quilt makers to create a reversible sampler and story quilt commemorating the long held tradition of passing on sewing skills and quilt making skills in the Titus family. This reversible quilt is the second one in a series of reversible story quilts that the artist plans to construct based on the history of Freestone county and her family's life story. The Series holds the title of "Homegrown "N" Freestone".
On July 26, 2007, Sherry Byrd was invited to give a "High Noon Talk" at the Bob Bullock, Texas State History Museum to talk about her second story quilt "Jazz With a Needle and Thread," who's composition included elements pieced by four generations of African American quilters found in her family's lineage. She also related and shared tales of her family's unique quilt making tradition and why it is worthy of its international acclaim. With their relaxed unconventional mode of piecing, bold and vibrantly electric colors, and asymmetrical designs, these quilts embody the flavor of Texas Two-Stitching M-privisational Pride. They also uncover the history of a Lone Star State's family quilt making Legacy. Sherry's work "Jazz With A Needle and Thread" was on exhibit in the Pride Section of the special 5-year anniversary exhibit "It (Still) Ain't Braggin if It's True," which explored the qualities of Texas Vision, Friendship, Perseverance, Pride, Showmanship, and Swagger through One-of-a-kind objects and the stories they tell.
The "High Noon Talk" was a wonderful experience and success...with an audience of 70+ (including adults and children) fully involved as they o-o-o-ohed and a-a-a-ahed over the M-provisational Masterpieces flashed & displayed before them. The Tell & Show session was declared by the museum staff to be the Best-of-the-series of High Noon Talks given over the summer of 2006, at the museum, as the audience was so highly enthusiastic, captivated and engaged.
Now we move on. "Homegrown" has made its permanent mark on Texas Floklore History, "Jazz With A Needle &Thread has captivated and dazzled its audience.. so what will happen as Sherry plows into developing the third story quilt in her series called "LoneStar Braggin' Rights: It's A Texas Thang!
It is hard to tell...but hopefully it will all be just as exciting and history making as the previous two story quilts have been.
Bye for now...see you in the next post.

NNEDV Domestic Violence Awareness Month Blog Series: "Dating violence is domestic violence. But since this is often their first love or serious relationship, many young people may not know the red flags or identify problematic behaviors."
NNEDV Domestic Violence Awareness Month Blog Series: It is clear that the information we provide empowers women with the knowledge to take action against the abuse they have experienced.
In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Abine, Inc., the leading online privacy company, is partnering with NNEDV. Through the end of November, Abine will donate $0.10 to NNEDV for every new install of its free DoNotTrackPlus software, which stops companies, advertising newtorks and social networks from tracking web users' activity.
Domesitc violence impacts one in four women in the United States and costs tax payers billions of dollars every year. Yet less than one percent of company-sponsored foundations currently registered with the Foundation Center even list domestic violence as a field of interest. Read this article by Loribeth Weinstein, Jewish Women International, about "how companies can do right for women and girls."

Playtime for a dog is not just for pleasure but an important aspect for its overall health and well-being. Through active fitness and play, your pet is reaping mental and physical benefits. Just like a child, a dog that is idle or bored can get into trouble without sufficient toys and ample exercise. Anything and everything you need to keep your pet entertained can be found at your local Rockford-area Petsmart or Petco as listed below or one closest to your home.
Big or small, all dogs need to be kept busy and exercised daily. An active dog through proper playtime and routine walks/exercise is staying out of mischief. Dogs need to expel their energies daily; some breeds much more than others. If you do not help them do so, they will use those energies inappropriately through destructive activities. Certainly, it would be better to provide good, safe play toys, bones, balls and puzzle toys that will keep your pet happy, both physically and mentally.
Always ensure you walk your dog daily, several times a day. If you do have a puppy or extremely active dog, puzzle toys are a great option. Most work by providing a hidden treat within a toy, getting your pet excited to retrieve those goodies. Purchase several puzzle toys that you can change each day, place the treats within and let your dog be entertained for hours on end until he/she gets its reward; the tasty treat.
Activity is important for your dog; some to be shared with you through walks, fetch and other interactive play while also providing a toy box full of safe pleasures for self-entertainment.

This project will investigate the relationship between real wind speed data (and potentially power data) collected at wind turbines, and the power estimates provided by models that use estimated wind resource, wake models and turbine power curves to predict power output. Different wake models will be investigated to see if some are more effective at predicting results than others. Any variance from real data in the predictions will be traced to the three factors modeled, to see if one plays a larger role than the others. Different time periods will be explored, to see if variances are more apparent in specific seasons. The work will be conducted in MATLAB. The participating student will learn: how to interpret wind tower and turbine data; what a wake is and how to model it; the concept of variance or uncertainty in models; the influence of parameterization on results.
Mentor: Erin McDonald, Assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering and Art and Design, Iowa State University

It looks like Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot is getting some buzz in Hollywood. With the addition of Matthew Vaughn as a producer, there are reports that up and coming actress, Allison Williams is in the lead of a short list of actresses for a major role in Fantastic Four. Currently, Williams is probably most well known for her role in the very popular Girls (I don't know why…). If Williams is in the running for the lead in Fantastic Four, we can only speculate that it's for the role of Sue Storm AKA The Invisible Woman. It looks like Tranks is looking for an actress that has both beauty and acting skills unlike Jessica Alba… Yeah, I said it. The Fantastic Four reboot is written by Jeremy Slater (with a little tinkering by Seth Grahame-Smith) and it is described to be more grounded than the earlier films. I'm hoping for the best.
Fantastic Four is set to drop on March 6, 2015.

For my Abstract Algebra class, we will be doing small presentations (2 class periods) covering some topic in Abstract Algebra. Thus far, I have studied groups, rings, fields, modules, tensor products, exact sequences, algebras, some basic category theory, and some other things.
This semester we are presenting some subtopic of Abstract Algebra (presumably an extension of what we have already learned).
What are some topics you would suggest and why?

In a correspondence to be published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the researchers reasoned that this type of dietary supplement helps fill nutritional gaps, improves general health, might help prevent chronic disease, will cause no harm and is easily worth the few cents a day that it costs.
To "call the case closed" is wrong and "misinforms the public and the medical community," the researchers wrote. Their statements were a response to an editorial in the same publication last year that argued that such supplements are unnecessary and received widespread publicity.
The statement was authored by nutrition experts from OSU, the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Tufts University and the Harvard School of Public Health.
While most nutrition experts agree that a balanced and nutritious diet is the best way to obtain needed nutrients, the researchers in this commentary point out that many Americans have a less-than-perfect diet - long on calories and short on nutrients - and the vast majority are not getting enough of several important vitamins and minerals.
"It's naïve to ignore the fact that most people have micronutrient inadequacies, and wrong to condemn a daily supplement that could cover these nutritional gaps safely and at low cost," said Balz Frei, professor and director of the Linus Pauling Institute, and a biochemist in the OSU College of Science.
"There's strong evidence that a multivitamin/mineral supplement supports normal functioning of the body and helps improve overall health, and may even help lower chronic disease risk," Frei said. "It's irresponsible to ignore decades of nutrition research and tell the people of the United States they have no need for a supplement that could be so helpful, and costs as little as $1 a month.
"And if they have a poor diet, people should try to improve that as well," he said. "The two are not mutually exclusive."
Among the points the researchers made in their commentary:
The value of proper nutrition, on the other hand, is wide-ranging and positive. Micronutrients maintain normal cell and tissue function, metabolism, growth and development. A supplement that helps a person "cover all the bases" can help protect daily, routine health.
Overt deficiency diseases such as scurvy or rickets are increasingly rare in the U.S. due to improved diet and fortified foods. However, certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies are still a major issue in the developing world, especially vitamin A, iron, iodine and zinc. According to the World Health Organization, more than 650,000 children under the age of five die around the world every year from deficiency in vitamin A.
And the potential for vitamins and other micronutrients to help reduce or prevent chronic disease continues to show promise. One of the longest, largest controlled studies ever done, the Physicians' Health Study II, found a significant 8 percent reduction in total cancer incidence in male physicians - people who, through their education, income and lifestyle, probably had diets much closer to optimal than the average American.
"There are many issues that have helped to mislead people when it comes to the study of micronutrients," Frei said. "For instance, most research is done without first checking to see if a person is inadequate in a nutrient, and you won't find much effect from a supplement if it isn't needed.
"In similar fashion, too much research has been done with groups such as doctors and nurses who are probably not representative of the general population," he said. "Whatever has been shown to be useful in such research probably would be even more effective in people who have poor diets or clear nutritional inadequacies."
The researchers wrote in their conclusion that to "label multivitamin and mineral supplements useless, harmful and a waste of money is wrong."
About the Linus Pauling Institute: The Linus Pauling Institute at OSU is a world leader in the study of micronutrients and their role in promoting optimum health or preventing and treating disease. Major areas of research include heart disease, cancer, aging and neurodegenerative disease.

Learn about important ongoing initiatives
of the statewide GIS community
We Want Your Input!
This Working Group exists to facilitate the sharing of roads data between regional planning organizations, local governments, state agencies, and the public. This valuable dataset requires substantial production efforts by city and county GIS departments, NC Department of Transportation and others. The Working Group's goal is to put together a roads framework based on content standards and facilitate maintenance of the data through an online, automated process among state and local agencies. The Working Group is collaborating with NCDOT to achieve an integrated statewide dataset of all roads and highways. As for other priority datasets, the NC OneMap Geospatial Portal will be a web location for public discovery and access to roads.
The WGRT received a grant from the Federal Geographic Data Committee to develop a web-based data transformation tool to assist local data stewards with converting their data into common formats. The grant was completed in October 2012. By November, WGRT members and local government partners loaded street centerlines for 82 counties to the translator.
The WGRT is now working on a plan to achieve 100 percent participation by counties and to implement a program for making quarterly updates. For information about participating in the effort, contact one of the WGRT co-chairs.
The work of the WGRT, which includes representatives from across North Carolina, is a wonderful example of the NC GIS community working together to solve the challenges of sharing data and developing valuable statewide datasets.
Standardized parcel data for all 100 counties is now available as a map service, a feature service, or as downloadable data from the the NC OneMap Geospatial Portal.
The 2014 orthoimagery is now available from the NC OneMap GeoSpatial Portal. Read the full article for all of the details.
The GIS TAC has produced a document to guide and educate users on the compression of raster imagery.
With the recent completion of the update to the Master Address Data Set, the 2014 version is now available from the NC OneMap GeoSpatial Portal.

I have exactly the problem described here 2 years ago and I could not find any documentation about this. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3809
I have to realize a virtual resource twice on the same host, and this does not seem to be possible. Is there a workaround or do I have a design issue ?
The goal is to deploy the same ssh public key for different accounts. I declare the public key as a virtual resource
@ssh_authoized_key{'blah': ....}
And to realize it for the users and for root accounts I do :
Ssh_athorized_key<|tag==admin|>{ user => 'root' }
Only the second of the 2 statements will be realized. I tried to isolate them in different classes, but the problem is still the same.
Does someone have an idea to get me out of this ?

One step in the proof of Tonelli-Fubini Theorem
$Q$ is a probability measure on $(F,\mathcal{F})$.
Suppose $C\in\mathcal{E}\bigotimes\mathcal{F}$ and $C(x)=\{y:(x,y)\in C\}$
Let $\mathcal{H}=\left\{ C\in\mathcal{E}\bigotimes\mathcal{F}:\: x\rightarrow Q[C(x)]\textrm{ is }\mathcal{E}\textrm{-measurable}\right\} $ .
Show that $\mathcal{H}$ is closed under increasing limit and differences.
I can prove it is closed under the increasing limit because $C_{n}(x)\uparrow C(x)\Rightarrow Q[C_{n}(x)]\uparrow Q[C(x)]$.
However, I don't know how to show the difference because
(1) The difference of two measurable functions might not be measurable.
(2) $Q[C_{1}(x)\backslash C_{2}(x)]\neq Q[C_{1}(x)]-Q[C_{2}(x)]$ .
Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leealemay Perfect for our dining room! Saw this rug in the store and thought it was perfect. And it is, the texture is not too chunky, but has character. Different that the norm. Vacuums beautifully. Had an accidental spill last night and it wiped clean. Love it! July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sonya49 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY RUG!!! The look and feel and the textured pattern of this natural jute rug on my hardwood floor is beyond my expectations. I am so glad I took a leap of faith to purchase it online. I used to only buy an item like this in store, but we are a couple of hours away from the nearest store since the move. I paired the rug with the 6 x 9 rug pad and couldn't be happier with both. February 21, 2014

My personal connection with and respect for the Hazara community is something I greatly value. I have been able to observe the extraordinary sense of connectedness and community spirit; resilience and adaptability of the Hazara community, in addition to their adaptability
It was a great privilege for me to be invited to this event in Melbourne and to support the Hazara cause. Without reservation I recommend the #Hazara people to the rest of the world. Without reservation I urge consideration of their special qualities of resilience, determination, collective and individual motivation.
While the inhuman execution of the innocent civilians are carried out in Afghanistan, the "champions of democracy" , including the USA, Great Britain, all the Western powers and the so-called civilized institutions such as the United Nations remains as spectators on the side
[source: http://www.hazara.net/taliban/taliban.html
Please also see:
http://www.hazara.net/downloads/Massacre_of_Hazaras_in_Afghanistan.pdf http://bit.ly/iVnIVQ
Any supposition or policy by any country including Australia that seeks to make a finding that the #Hazaras, wherever born or normally reside are subjected to anything less than systematic persecution, torture or genocide is mistaken and either grossly mis-informed or indulging in political gaming.
I am appalled and dismayed by proposals to expel #Hazaras and others in a similar position of minority ethnic and religious persecution, without assessment to third countries without any policies, legal provisions or international Treaties in place and demonstrable political will to adhere to such in practical terms.
I add my support to those of many others for the Hazara people and to their personal pleas, crystalized today to respect their right to freedom from persecution, torture and genocide.

Dear Editor,
Many California residents wonder if there are any solutions to help the fledgling state that we live in. Here is the solution, which deals with an economical approach.
California's Gross State Product (GSP) is $1.9 trillion. The three largest income earners that contribute toward the GSP are 1. manufacturing, 2. retail trade, and 3. real estate and trade. Yes, most people who live in the San Joaquin Valley, believe that agriculture makes up the largest income for the state.
Agriculture makes $32 billion a year. That is only one-sixth of the total GSP. Also, agriculture employs but a very small amount of people compared to other industries. Only 50% of all agriculture products are consumed in the United States.
Agriculture consumes 80-85% of all water in the state whereas 10% is for human consumption and is being polluted but nitrite fertilization making it hazardous for human consumption.
Tax payers pay billions of dollars in farmer subsidies, water projects, and Army Corp of Engineers benefiting corporate farming operations, and the public sector. This is not to say that our country can go without farming operations, we all know that food is of essence, but we do not live in a 19th century agrarian sociality.
By reducing agriculture 30-40% and implementing high economic producing businesses in California, we will increase the GSP and jobs, create a cleaner water supply, and overall make our country stronger.
Steven Dodd, Oakhurst

Kaixuan 'Sherry' Zhang finished third in the three-meter dive at the 2014 NCAA Championships.
March 21, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Southern Illinois sophomore diver Kaixuan 'Sherry' Zhang finished third in the three-meter dive at the NCAA Championships on Friday night. Zhang earned her second All-America honor of the Championships and posted top-11 finishes in both of her events.
Zhang was the top qualifier in the morning's preliminary session and stayed in the top half of the eight-person Championship Finals field throughout her six-dive finals session. Zhang totaled a 385.20 in her six dives
Zhang earned first-team All-America honors for her third-place finish to add on to her honorable mention All-America honor for finishing third in the consolation finals in the one-meter dive yesterday.
Zhang is the fourth diver in school history to earn All-America honors and first since 1985. Julia Warner placed 10th in the one-meter dive in 1981 and 17th in the three-meter dive in 1980. Tracey Terrell was a four-time All-American from 1979-82, with three All-America honors in the three-meter dive and one in the one-meter. Wendy Lucero won the NCAA Championship in the one-meter dive in 1985 and placed sixth in the three-meter dive that same year.
With her third-place finish, Zhang earned 16 more points for SIU at the NCAA Championships. Including her six points for finishing third in the consolation finals of the one-meter dive on Thursday, Zhang earned 22 points for the Salukis at the NCAA Championships.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State senior Carolyn Adel, Ed Carter, Alex Osterrieth and Kristine Sand are among 38 student-athletes who have been awarded postgraduate scholarships by the Pac-10 Conference. Each recipient, selected by their respective institution, will receive a grant in the amount of $3,000.
To be eligible for a Pac-10 postgraduate scholarship a student-athlete must have an overall grade point average of 3.00 or its equivalent, be in his or her final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility, have performed with distinction as a member of the varsity team, intend to continue academic work beyond the baccalaureate degree as a full time graduate student and have behaved both on and off the field in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution and intercollegiate athletics. Participation in campus and community service activities and demonstrate of leadership qualities also will be taken into consideration.
Adel concluded her senior season on the ASU women's swimming team with a third consecutive selection to the Pac-10 All-Academic Team. The accounting major is also a two-time Academic All-American honoree by the College Swimming Coaches Association, which will release its list of 1999-2000 honorees this summer. In the pool, Adel earned All-America distinction in the 400 individual medley all four years of her Sun Devil career, and won a bronze medal in the same event at the 1999 Pan American Games while competing for her native Suriname.
Carter, a men's tennis player from Columbus, Ohio who majored in liberal arts, earned his third consecutive selection to the GTE Region VIII Academic All-American Team in 1999-2000. He is also a three-time Pac-10 All-Academic honoree and was recently awarded a Pac-10 Medal for his scholastic and athletic achievement. Carter's finest season on the court came in 1998-99, when he was a doubles All-American, finished with a No. 9 ranking and compiled a 22-17 singles record.
Carter's doubles teammate this past season was Osterrieth, a business major from Westerham, Kent, England. In 1999-2000 he compiled a 19-14 dual meet record, earned First Team All-Pac-10 honors and advanced to the NCAA Championships as an individual. Osterrieth also garnered his third straight conference All-Academic nod.
Another three-time Pac-10 All-Academic honoree is Sand, who earned her bachelor's degree in marketing. The Oslo, Norway native enjoyed her most productive season for the Sun Devil women's basketball team in 1999-2000, averaging a career high 10.4 points and 4.5 rebounds.

Q. My foundation often looks cakey by lunchtime. Is there a way to smooth it back out? Dusting on powder seems to make it worse.
A. Makeup artists employ this trick: Lightly spritz your face with a moisturizing spray, such as Jurlique Lavender Hydrating Mist ($21; jurlique.com), then use a makeup sponge—or your fingers—to smooth out any dry patches. If you don't have a spritz handy, you can also pat your face with lightly moistened paper towels.

What is in this article?:
- As difficult as water cutbacks are, they pale in comparison to the biggest challenge California cotton has faced in its 100-year history — Fusarium Race 4.

Aerial view of a field infected with Race 4.
Shafter setback
The battle looked like it suffered a major setback when USDA-ARS pulled out of the Cotton Research Station in Shafter a couple of years ago. There were two scientists there working almost exclusively on Race 4.
Fortunately, one of those two scientists continues to research germplasm for FOV resistant varieties.
USDA research geneticist Mauricio Ulloa was moved from Shafter to Lubbock, Texas, where his primary research responsibilities are developing drought and heat tolerant cotton germplasm.
"Fortunately," said Hutmacher, "USDA-ARS administrators recognized the importance of Mauricio's work from Shafter to allow him to continue his Race 4 work."
"Mauricio's background in molecular genetics, and the fact he has been working along with the rest of us for 10 years on the problem is a big plus."
Ulloa's goal is to provide Race 4 resistant germplasm to commercial plant breeders to develop new varieties.
Another key person in finding solutions to Race 4 is UC Davis plant pathologist Mike Davis. He was the first to identify it. He remains active in the team effort and has picked up some of the research the other Shafter scientist was doing. Rebecca Bennett has been working on seed treatments for Fusarium, but she is no longer researching that area in her new post in Arkansas.
What do growers do in the meantime until more resistant varieties are released?

First is to identify it. If Race 4 is confirmed, growers should avoid moving soil and water from a contaminated field to a clean field. Hutmacher said it is a good idea to clearly mark contamination areas and change cultivation practices to avoid it.
Davis and Bennett have done enough research to verify that
Vapam spot treatments offer some benefits in knocking down inoculum populations. "It will not eradicate Race 4. Nothing will at this point," he added.
"We continue to look at seed treatments, but so far they offer little value," he said. There are biological materials that reportedly change soil conditions to suppress inoculum levels and Hutmacher will continue to look at those.

The San Jose Sharks renew the top non-Pacific Division rivalry that realignment might eventually erode from their brief history. For now, this is just the first year the Detroit Red Wings are in the Eastern Conference and the two teams should have plenty of intensity Thursday, January 9.
Pictured are five predictions for the game. The personnel comparison and four Stanley Cup playoff series in their past are detailed in the preview for their first tilt on October 21.
The Sharks will be without Logan Couture and up to six other forwards, but three of them were not playing in the first contest. Moreover, Dan Boyle and Brent Burns are healthy but were unavailable for that game.
Couture had the only shot to beat a goalie that night, and it came in the shootout. Neither goalie has been playing well lately, but the Red Wings were struggling offensively until a five-goal outburst in their last game. They will also be missing at least four players for this game.
San Jose has absolutely owned this series in recent years, with 18 wins in the last 24 contests including two Western Conference semifinals. Home-ice advantage has not meant much outside of those Stanley Cup games when three of Detroit's four wins came at home, while two of three regular season wins actually came at the Shark Tank.
Nevertheless, the Sharks have been especially hot at home. They have just one regulation loss all season, and their only blemish in 11 home games since is a shootout loss to the New York Islanders. They stand in second place in the Pacific Division, four games behind the Anaheim Ducks but just 1.5 games ahead of the Los Angeles Kings.
The Red Wings are a much-better road team than home: 13-4-3 is tied for best in the NHL. They have half a game lead on the other wild card team in the Eastern Conference, with a one game lead on the first team currently out of the Stanley Cup playoff picture that requires teams to be two games better in the Western Conference.

Five people from Volusia and one person from Brevard County have been arrested on Racketeering charges, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. The arrests came after a combined investigation by the Volusia and Seminole County Sheriff's Offices into an online business that detectives say was run by Deltona resident Marc Kolarik. The business sold over one-million dollars in stolen goods last year, according to Volusia County Sheriff's spokesperson Gary Davidson, who added that Kolarik had not reported any income to the state in over 10 years. Davidson says items sold included electric toothbrushes, hair products, razor blades, teeth whitening strips and other oral hygiene products, and fishing line.
Volusia and Seminole County Sheriff's detectives started their combined investigation after noticing that identical suspects appeared to be involved in thefts at Publix, Target, Walmart, and Winn-Dixie stores in Seminole and Volusia counties. Davidson added that some of the thefts also happened in Lake, Orange and Osceola counties. Investigators said that around $500-$2000 in products would typically be stolen from each store, and at up to eight of the stores on a particular day. The goods would then be delivered to Kolarik, who then sold the items online on eBay, according to detectives.
After a six-week undercover operation by both of the Sheriff's Offices, a search warrant was executed at Kolarik's Salem Drive home Thursday. Davidson says detectives discovered "…a virtual warehouse full of merchandise." Items confiscated included "…high-end fishing line and fishing lures, teeth whitener products, razor blades, tools, chain saws, remote control cars, dog shampoo, vacuums and gift cards." Davidson says two firearms, a "large quantity" of ammunition and two vehicles were also seized.
The persons arrested and their charges included:
- 41-year old Marc Kolarik of Deltona, charged with Racketeering, Conspiracy to commit Racketeering and Dealing in Stolen Property.
- 26-year old Scott Niles of Osteen, charged with Racketeering, Conspiracy to commit Racketeering, and three counts of Grand Theft.
- 42-year old Christopher Niles of Titusville, charged with Racketeering, Conspiracy to commit Racketeering, three counts of Grand Theft and one count of Petty Theft.
- 24-year old Jessica Reddy of Deltona, charged with Racketeering, Conspiracy to commit Racketeering, Grand Theft and three counts of Petty Theft.
- 25-year old Jordan Reddy of Osteen, charged with Racketeering, and Conspiracy to commit Racketeering and Petty Theft.

By the end of the course, students will be able to build a functional prototype of a simple database-backed web application and deploy it to a production server. Perhaps more importantly, students will gain a literacy in the concepts that go into building a technology product; which will allow them to ideate more constructively, converse more effectively with developers, and manage teams more efficiently.
An interesting aspect of this course is that it will itself be managed as an agile project, using tools such as GitHub and Pivotal Tracker. Other features include:
* unlimited access to screencasts tailored specifically for the course
* lectures will be interactive, with short pair exercises sprinkled throughout
* optional (but strongly encouraged) weekly discussion sections with the professor to reinforce concepts
This class is recommended for students who plan to start web-based businesses and want to understand what goes into developing an MVP. This class is also recommended for students who want to join start-ups and need to understand the technical aspect of the business in order to communicate with the development team. This course overlaps with DSGN 425 and is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MMM STUDENTS. Students will be expected to have Mac, Windows, or Linux computers that they can complete homework and projects on (detailed instructions on setup will be provided).

Cooperative Denuclearization: From Pledges to Deeds
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School, Ashton B. Carter, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project, Harvard & Stanford Universities, Steven E. Miller, Director, International Security Program; Editor-in-Chief, International Security; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom and Philip D. Zelikow, Former Associate Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School; Former Faculty Affiliate, International Security Program
"CSIA's research on cooperative denuclearization began during the August 1991 putsch against Mikhail Gorbachev. To those of us familiar with nuclear weapons, their construction, and command and control, and with the looming revolution about to sweep the thenSoviet Union, it was plain that a new and unprecedented danger to international security was emerging. An appropriate policy response to this new form of nuclear threat could not be fashioned from traditional Cold War tools of deterrence, arms control, and military preparedness alone. Safety could only be sought through new policies emphasizing cooperative engagement with the new states, new leaders, and military and industrial heirs of the former Soviet Union...."

On Jan. 21, at New York City's Waldorf Astoria, Examiner Dorri Olds met with Rosario Dawson to talk about her new movie, "Gimme Shelter," which opened in New York City on Friday, Jan. 24.
Dawson plays June Bailey, an out of control drug addict who abuses her daughter Agnes "Apple" Bailey (Vanessa Hudgens) in the movie "Gimme Shelter." Both actresses do a phenomenal job playing these tough characters and both look almost unrecognizable.
Dawson's smooth skin glowed under only a touch of makeup. She looked nothing like her frightening character. She seemed energized and eager to talk about the film and her own background.
Dorri Olds: How did you feel about playing June Bailey?
Rosario Dawson: I knew how upsetting this role would be. I was personally affected by heroin and crack addictions. I'm a '79 baby, so I grew up in the '80s and '90s crack epidemic that scoured my neighborhood and riddled my landscape. I was raised by a teenage mom and saw family members struggle with addiction. I watched the damaging effects of that for many years. I know what addiction does to the children, spouse and career. Desperate people will do desperate things.
How did it feel giving up all vanity for this role?
It was trippy. The first day Vanessa and I saw each other we were both so relieved. Here she'd put so much weight on, cut all her hair off and really got into it, and there I was with this enamel on my teeth. We just looked at each other and went, "Oh, thank god." I think it would've been terrible if only one of us was going for total transformation.
Was it hard to lose the character after the cameras went off?
Yes, incredibly so. It was weird. I'd never experienced that before. I was used to hanging out between filming, you know, waiting during set changes, but in this film nobody wanted to hang out and chat with me. It was isolating. I looked so bad they were all flinching.
Do you mean because of the brown teeth?
Yes, and with all of that enamel on I could hardly eat or drink anything so I couldn't just lounge around the food table. I remember going home at night with all of the hair and makeup on because I'd be so bruised and battered, so tired. New Yorkers didn't even flinch. I'd be in this nice vehicle and they just looked at me like this [rolls eyes]. No one cared at all. When I went home I thought my family would say, "Wow, what a transformation. You really did it." But my brother was really upset. He said, "Take that off. I'm having a hard time looking at you." My parents were so disturbed by it, too.
What do you think June's internal life was like?
She really believed her circumstances defined her and she's righteously indignant about her self-pity. That was really upsetting. It made me understand even deeper why you can't just take someone who's got a drug addiction and just put them in rehab. It doesn't work that way. You can't choose it for them. They have to choose it for themselves.
You can visit Rosario Dawson's website to read about her activism and volunteer work for charities and to learn about her Feb. 14, 2014 "One Billion Rising For Justice" project.
"Gimme Shelter" is now playing in New York City at AMC Loews Village 7 and Regal E-Walk Stadium 13. Drama. Rated PG-13. 90 minutes.

My grandma always makes brownies when any of her kids or grandkids are around. The first thing I do when I walk in her house is peek at the counter to see if the old Tupperware container is awaiting my brownie seeking fingers. If I don't get the chance to go to her house, I can expect a Cool Whip container or 2 filled with brownies as well. :-) We love our brownies. I find myself taking on habits of my grandmother more and more as I get older, but the "brownie habit" is definitely here to stay.
I try to keep a box or two of Pillsbury brownie mix in my pantry at all times. Yes, I've tried making my own from scratch, but they're not nearly as good. Even with the mix, I never make them quite like my grandmother. I never fail to have a rectangle shaped crust stuck to the pan.... until yesterday!
Now, this is probably a trick everyone already knows. I tend not to get the memos when it comes to cooking. However, if you haven't tried lining your baking pan with wax paper, you must (unless you're as skilled as my grandma)! This time, when I made brownies, I greased the pan and lined it with wax paper before pouring in the batter. Not only were we able to eat the edges of the brownies, but cleaning was much easier. I'll never make brownies any other way again.

WATCH: Elias And Zion Perform A Hit Kanye West Song For Ellen DeGeneres
These are perhaps the most exuberant children I've ever seen.
To be fair, everyone would probably act this way upon meeting Ellen DeGeneres who just happens to be one of the coolest people ever.
Elias and Zion, seven-year-old twin brothers appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Zion excitedly exclaimed, "I love you" while jumping up and down before hugging the show's host. Elias, who seems to enjoy compliments, yelled out, "cutie on the line!"
An adorable rendition of Kanye West's song, "Gold Digger" came next. Ready to feel old?
[midpostembed id="9728966″ type="gallery" title="ellen degeneres keeps dancing for the paparazzi"]Neither of these children were born when the song came out. It's nine years old. Both know the words much better than I do.
Little Elias also got a solo interview with Ellen. Not only can he rap, but he's also a piano prodigy. After conversing with DeGeneres for a little while, he performed, "The Solfeggietto" by Bach. If only I could play piano half as well as he could.
At such a young age he has already played at Carnegie Hall and appeared on Ellen's show. Both of which were his dreams. I wonder what his new dreams will be.
[midpostembed id="8577912″ type="gallery" title="ellen degeneres keeps dancing for the paparazzi"]Never before in any interview have I heard so many compliments or witnessed so many hugs. In case you were wondering, her hair is soft. Thank you for that extremely useful information, Elias.
If you need something to brighten your day, please check out the twins perform above and then check out the precious interview below! We promise it'll put a smile on your face!

Coal Burning and Fluoride Problems
The AFP reports that coal burning and too much fluoride is having devastating effects on rural Chinese. Benjamin Morgan has more:
In many developed countries, fluoride, which is often naturally occurring in water and also coal, is added to toothpaste and drinking water.
Since the 1960s many medical experts have believed that small amounts of fluoride helps prevent tooth decay and strengthen bones.
However, the claimed benefits have increasingly drawn fire from medical experts who say that there are no tangible health advantages to the human body.
Several European countries over the last five years have stopped public water fluoridation programmes amid questions whether the mineral does more harm than good.

How sad! Does Dr. Fuhrman have an opinion on fluoride prescriptions for kids?
Moe - April 24, 2007 2:31 PM
According to Christopher Bryson, in his book The Fluoride Deception, the favored substance for fluoridating water now is uranium hexafluoride, which is produced in great quantities in nuclear weapons production. An article in the latest issue of Acres U.S.A. mentions that uranium hexafluoride is the same as depleted uranium. So that's what is coming out of your faucet.
