I have two Nvidia cards both with 2 heads and both configured as TwinView, so I have Screen0 and Screen1 in my xorg.conf.
ccsm sees both screens (displays them in the Screens drop-down at the top left), but Unity starts only on Screen0 by default. The displays on Screen1 only show the default white screen and default X mouse cursor, when I hover over them.
Is this the normal, expected behavior? Can I start Unity on Screen1 automatically without running custom shell scripts (like DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --replace)?

A 120 page book of photographs taken in many different places from 2005 through 2008. A few were taken along the main Interstate Highways of the USA, but most were collected along back-country roads, in National Parks or even within walking distance of our home in Parker, Colorado. Some were brought back from trips to the Baja Peninsula of Mexico and a few were taken in East and South Africa.
There is no logical reason for the order of the photographs. They are placed at random with the thought that the reader may turn a page without expectation and therefore be completely un-prepared for what comes next.
Want to make a book and publish it on your own? Or maybe an E-book? Our husband and wife team has helped many first-timers self publish books. We are experienced common sense professionals, creative and comfortable with computers, pixels, and Blurb BookSmart software! We specialize in MEMOIRS, photo-journals and other family & personal books. To review some of our recently published books from our store go to: http://bookcrafters.net or browse through our Blurb Bookstore on this website. Ask us about E-Book conversions! We work together to design and publish many different types and styles of books, from personal memoirs, children's books, wedding albums, travel journals, blog books, and art portfolios. For many, the actual writing and compilation of a book is the easy part. Now you need to get it published. There are many options but most of all you have to overcome the "fear factor."

We're not used to snow here in the Deep South. About every two to four years, however, we get a couple of inches between December and February. It lasts for a day or two and then it's gone, thankfully. Every five to ten years, though, we get a blizzard, like the one we had last week.
Working in radio, that means I'm on 24-hour call to bring our listeners the latest on weather and road conditions, closings, accidents, etc. It also means, I'm away from home, which means a nightmare of scheduling and coordinating pet sitters and finding a hotel near the station that's pet friendly so I can bring my dogs. But finding someone to take care of my cats while I was gone, was a huge headache.
When I go on vacation, I have the luxury of planning far enough in advance to call my pet sitter, but winter storms are another matter. My pet sitter was 15 miles away, snowed in like everyone else. When that kind of bad weather hits, you never know how long you're going to be away from home in my business. So it's a crap shoot finding someone to kitty sit, and there was no way I was going to just put a lot of dry food out and hope for the best. Bundling up 11 cats and taking them with me to the hotel was not an option. Leaving them alone was also not going to happen. I would have come home to a house destroyed by multiple cats with cabin fever.
My cats don't do well when I leave for days at a time to begin with. It stresses them out to be in the house the entire time and to have their normal routine interrupted. That results in behavioral issues, such as pee'ing on the floor, knocking things off of bookshelves, getting stuck in places.
Thankfully, a kind neighbor said he would come down and feed my cats and scoop their litter boxes. But that didn't eliminate a couple of CAT-tastrophies.
On Tuesday, I called him to see how things were going.
"Everything is fine. By the way, did you leave the kitchen faucet running when you left yesterday?" he asked.
"No, why?" I replied.
"Well, when I went over to your house this morning, your kitchen faucet was running full blast," he said.
That meant water was running for a good 10 – 12 hours, full tilt. I don't even want to KNOW what my water bill is going to look like next month. The only thing I can surmise is that two of the cats got into a spat vying for a place on the window sill over the sink and acciddently turned on the water.
Things went smoothly after that, except he said, they ran for cover, when he opened the door.
It was Thursday afternoon before I was able to get home, and surprisingly the house was in good order, but the bathroom door was closed. When I opened it, I found my foster kitten, Egypt and her buddy, Cooper locked inside. Apparently, they had been in there since the day before. Coop and Egypt love to chase each other around the house, and at some point while no one was there, ended up in the bathroom and accidently shut the door behind them. In their effort to free themselves, they opened the linen closet and pulled down all of the clean towels and sheets and used the bathtub for a litter box.
When I came home and opened the door, Coop was hiding and crying under a towel he pulled down on himself and E-G was hiding in the bathtub. It took some time to get them calmed down once they were freed.
My homecoming disaster might have infuriated other pet owners, but I realized it was not their fault.
Even though I had worked out a plan for a neighbor to check on them, a change in their routine was stressful for them.
In the event of a sudden weather emergency, make sure you have a plan in place to keep your pets safe. Ask a neighbor to care for them if you have to evacuate and can't take them with you or get them to your vet or nearest boarding kennel.
If you can take your pets with you, make sure they're in a secure carrier, preferably a hard-sided carrier. That way, they are less likely get out. You can also put in their favorite bedding and hang some food bowls from the metal door.
Also, make sure you have a cover, such as a towell or blanket to cover the carrier. Cats feel safer in stressful situations when they think they're hiding from all the commotion. Bring enough food for the days you think you will be away and also a disposable litter box. Some come with the litter already in them.
If you know far enough in advance, you might also want to check with your vet for a prescription sedative for your cat. However, I've always found my cats prefer to have their wits about them when traveling.
The day I came home, sun was shining, but it was still cold with snow on the ground. Still, I decided to open the back door and let the cats get outside and have some fresh air while I cleaned. By evening, the cats were back in the house, the house was clean, I was exhausted and so were they.
My dogs, by the way, had a great time on their Big Snow Adventure, but that's another article for another day.
It was good to be back in my own, clean bed, with my fe-lions snuggled around me. Peace.

Chef Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home Cookbook
This past weekend one of most famous and acclaimed chefs in the world held an event at one of his restaurants in Yountville…
Chef Thomas Keller, he of French Laundry, Bouchon, Bouchon Bakery and Ad Hoc fame (just to quickly rundown his Napa Valley restaurants), was in town to sign copies of his latest cookbook–Ad Hoc At Home. The cookbook is a collection of some 200 recipes for 'family-style' meals (based on the cuisine served at Ad Hoc) and is designed to be approachable by the average home cook.
The event, which was fittingly held at Ad Hoc, was jam-packed with people when we arrived on Saturday morning. We immediately spotted (and sampled) some amazing food, including Ad Hoc's famous fried chicken, Albondigas, fresh orange juice, hot cocoa, sparkling wine and much more. Keller was stationed at the back of the restaurant signing cookbooks while people formed a line out the door.
The Yountville visit on the book tour is far from the last, with Keller planning to make several other West Coast stops this winter (including a couple in the Pacific Northwest), before kicking things back into high-gear again next Spring.
Our resident photographer has put together a full image gallery from the book signing below.

As much as we'd love to give off sexy Brazilian vibes, we'll always look more like a female Conan O'Brien than Adriana Lima. Thanks, Irish heritage. We may not be naturally bronze with curves in all the right places, but with a little fake tan and DERMAdoctor's Brazilian Bombshell body lotion ($48), we can get pretty damn close.

The Pap test is done by your doctor during a gynecological (pelvic) examination. You will probably be asked to remove all your clothing and be given a robe or gown to wear. Usually, an annual gynecological examination involves a breast exam in addition to a pelvic exam. You will also be given a cloth drape to cover your lower torso. Next, you will be asked to lie on your back on the examination table with your legs spread, feet sitting on rests and your knees bent. Your doctor will insert a lubricated instrument called a speculum into your vagina to hold the vaginal walls open for the Pap test.
After looking at your cervix and vagina to check for any visible problems, your doctor will gently scrape the surface of your cervix with a small spatula to collect a sample of cells from the outside of the cervix. Your doctor also will use a small brush to collect cells from the inside of the cervix. These samples will be suspended in liquid, called ThinPrep, and sent to the laboratory where microscope slides will be prepared and examined. Some doctors will prepare the slides immediately in the clinic.

I was first introduced to Saintsbury wines through their Garnet Pinot Noir, which is a Carneros pinot made in a lighter style with less oak and more fruit, and a really nice wine for buying by the truckload and drinking every day. Saintsbury is one of the moderately large commercial producers in Napa that in my opinion is still maintaining high levels of quality and boutique style winemaking processes. They pretty much abjure filtering and they are not afraid of making wine in time consuming ways like fermenting and barrelling all of their vineyard lots separately to be blended as a final step.
Saintsbury, named after George Saintsbury, an English author known and loved for his work "Notes on A Cellar Book" was started in 1981 as a small operation by two winemakers (Richard Ward and David Graves) who were interested in making California Pinot Noir a respectable wine. Saintsbury still focuses on Pinot as well as Chardonnay, the two mainstays of Carneros.
Ward and Graves have scaled their operation from an initial couple thousand cases to nearly sixty thousand and now their wines are found in grocery stores and large liquor chains in addition to the small wine shops where they got their start.
This Chardonnay is a blend of grapes from 8 different Carneros vineyards. It was fermented in French Oak barrels and aged for about 8 months on the lees with batonnage (lots of stirring). The wine has gone through full malolactic fermentation but because of the lees and the batonnage the oily buttery over-oaked flavors that can sometimes accompany wines that have been pushed through full malolactic are nicely absent. It is unfined and unfiltered. 13,400 cases were made.
Tasting Notes:
The color of light straw in the glass, this wine has a cool, soothing nose of apples and wet slate. In the mouth it has light oak flavors but is dominated by crisp flavors of quartz, pears, and unripe apples bound together by a nice acidity. It is certainly a Carneros Chardonnay, but done closer to a European style than most I have had from the region. A good choice for those in the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) camp these days.
Food Pairing:
This is a great fish wine with its slightly elevated acidity, so try it with something creamy and substantial like swordfish steaks with lemon-parsley sauce.
Overall Score: 9
How Much?: $17
This wine is readily available online and through major retailers including BevMo.

Freshman Nico Engstroem Skaug (159) sits in a tie for 74th, while junior Fanny Wolte is 97th after a second round score of 71 (1-under). Wolte withdrew from opening round play due to flu-like symptoms. Sophomore Devan Murphy (176) is playing as an individual and currently stands 95th.

Lady Saints Rally Past Arizona Western
What may have seemed as a holiday vacation for many, it most certainly was not for the Seward County Lady Saints this weekend in MiraCosta's Holiday Festival Tournament in North San Diego. After trading punches with Eastern Arizona for 40 minutes on Saturday in their first loss of the 2013-2014 season, Seward backed it up with another slugfest on Sunday against #21 Arizona Western, outlasting the Matadors 60-56 in the tournament's third place game to improve to 13-1 on the year.
For the second straight game, the Lady Saints got off to a dreadful start on Sunday, falling behind the 21st ranked Matadors 10-2 through five minutes of the game, putting themselves in another uphill battle against a good team to start things off. A 6-0 run for Seward got them to within two and a bucket by
Alana Simon
tied the game at 10 with 11:36 to to in the first half. Arizona Western broke a nearly five minute stretch without a field goal to retake the lead 13-10 one minute later, but
Fabiana Monte
answered for the Lady Saints, nailing a three to tie the game at 13. Seward used the momentum to go on a mini 8-0 spurt and with 8:59 to go in the first half they led 19-13. As time wound down in the half, Arizona Western cut the Lady Saints lead to just three, but a steal and score from Simon put Seward back up 31-26 with just over a minute remaining in the half. The teams traded free throws to close the period and Seward went to the half on top by the score of 32-27.
Seward did a good job after a slow start in the game, outscoring Arizona Western 30-17 after the Matadors led 10-2 to open things up. The Lady Saints shot 46% from the field in the first half, led by Monte who scored a game high 13 first half points, while Arizona Western shot just 35% in the period. However, Seward led the Matadors hang around thanks in part to their lack of execution at the free throw line where they were just 5 for 13 in the first half while Arizona Western cashed in on 9 of their 13 chances.
The Lady Saints started the second half much as they did the first, out of sorts on the offensive end and a little bit too soft on the defensive end. Arizona Western wasted no time in erasing the Seward lead and after a 6-0 run to start the half, took their first lead since their 10-2 start at 33-32 with 16:26 to go in the game. A big three pointer from
Brianna Scott
gave Seward the lead back and a Simon to
Kyndal Davis
connection kept the gals in green in front 37-35 moments later. The teams went back and forth, trading turns at holding the lead to set up a dramatic finish to the contest. Tied at 42 Stephanie Schmid nailed a big three for Arizona Western but
Korina Chapman
answered right back for the Lady Saints with a three of her own to tie the game at 45 with 8:27 left. Both teams got stops on their next possessions and a foul sent the Matadors to the line on their next trip down the floor. After making the first free throw, Arizona Western missed their second attempt, but the Lady Saints couldn't clear the glass and the Matadors got a second chance to extend upon their lead. Arizona Western missed their ensuing field goal attempt, but got another offensive rebound and after a third offensive rebound on the possession, the Matadors finally cashed in with another three from Schmid to go in front 49-45 with 6:55 to go. After getting back to within two, it was the least likely of offensive threats for Seward that tied the game up at 51 as
Janel Tammen
picked up an offensive rebound of her own and scored to deadlock the game with 3:15 left. Arizona Western took the lead back and looked like they would have a chance to push their lead past one possession, but a steal from Davis and a dish to Chapman who scored at the rim tie the game at 53 with 2:44 to go. A pair of Monte free throws gave Seward the lead back at 55-53 with 2:02 left and the Lady Saints never relinquished their lead. Monte hit two more free throws down the stretch and the gals in green would hold on, bringing home a 60-56 win to come away with a third place trophy from the tournament.
Seward was far from fluid on the offensive end in the second half, shooting just 33% to finish the game at 40% overall, but they suffocated a usually solid Arizona Western offensive attack, holding the Matadors to just 26% shooting in the second half and under 30% in the game. The Lady Saints escape with the win thanks in large part to 26 Arizona Western turnovers and pick up the victory despite the Matadors collecting 23 offensive rebounds and taking 9 more shots than them in the ballgame.
Monte led all scorers with 17 points and was named to the All-Tournament Team while Chapman added 11 points and 8 rebounds for Seward County. They were the only two Lady Saints to reach double figures, while Davis and Simon added 8 and
Shanise Brooks
finished with 7 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 blocked shots.
The #7 Lady Saints bounce back from their first loss of the season with a big win over the #21 ranked Matadors, improving to 13-1 on the season while Arizona Western falls to 9-6 on the year after their second straight loss to end the tournament.
Seward will fly home from San Diego on Monday and will hit the ground running as they prepare for their final two games of the non-conference season January 3rd and 4th as they host the Conestoga Classic in the Greenhouse. The Lady Saints will take on Connors State on Friday at 6:00 and will play Region VI foe Northwest Kansas Tech on Saturday in another 6:00 tip.

I am running several fastcgi servers behind Nginx. I run 3 Nginx workers and 6 fastcgi servers as upstream backends.
When I run load tests of 1 req per sec, I can clearly see that on avarage a reply is 0.1sec, but from time to time there are 3.1 sec responses.
It is a suspiciously deterministic number and it happens even at very small loads from time to time. Both CPU and Memory are of no issue at all.
Any idea where this delay may be comming from? Any suggestions how to debug this?
Many thanks, Barry.

PR # 250 May 19, 2008
Mark Malone was a student at Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) when he broke his neck in a swimming accident in 1983. Despite his injury, he returned to the College the following year and graduated in 1986.
?It was the perfect place to start back after my injury,? Malone said recently.
Since then, the South Bound Brook resident has traveled a challenging road in his motorized wheel chair, but he credits his experience at RVCC with his ability to maneuver around those challenges. To ensure that other physically disabled students have the same opportunities, Malone has donated close to $7,000 to the RVCC Foundation to establish the Malone Foundation Scholarship.
Malone, who also graduated from Rutgers University in 1989, worked for AT&T for 10 years before leaving to begin the Malone Foundation. In 2004 he went on to a second career as the coordinator of the Somerset County Office of the Disabled.
Speaking at last month?s RVCC student picnic, Malone recited the Malone Foundation credo as his reason for making his gift: ?Live your life and hope for a cure; not live for a cure and hope for a life.? He believes that an education will prepare other disabled students to realize their ambitions, and he hopes his gift to the RVCC Foundation will help make that possible.
For more information about this or other scholarship opportunities, contact the Financial Aid Office at RVCC, 908-526-1200, ext. 8371. To make a scholarship gift, contact the RVCC Foundation at ext. 8349.
The RVCC Foundation is committed to raising private funds to ensure that a quality education remains accessible to all.
RVCC, located on Route 28 and Lamington Road in North Branch, NJ, and serving Somerset and Hunterdon County residents for close to 40 years, offers 90 associate degrees and certificates. For further information, visit www.raritanval.edu .

Why are traffic signals needed?
The primary function of any traffic signal is to assign the right-of-way at an intersection or crossing. The familiar red, yellow, and green lights allow pedestrians and conflicting streams of traffic to share the same intersection by means of time separation.
Who decides which intersections need signals?
The City installs traffic signals in accordance with established State and Federal guidelines called warrants. City traffic staff review intersections using these warrants.
How do I request a stop?
Similar to traffic signals, stop signs must meet warrants (guidelines) for installation. If you would like request that a study be performed to evaluate a location for a stop sign, please contact us by clicking here or by calling (530) 661-5820.
The Traffic Engineering Division gets over 200 requests, suggestions, and complaints each year and investigates each one as quickly as possible. We value your input and appreciate your patience and understanding while we are resolving problems or answering your questions.
How do I get additional street lights placed on my street?
If you feel there is a lack of lighting on your residential street and would like to petition for additional street lights on your street, you may submit your request by clicking here or by calling (530) 661-5820.
How do I report an obvious malfunction with an existing traffic signal?
If there is an obvious malfunction with an existing City traffic signal, please contact the City of Woodland Public Works Municipal Service Center at (530) 661-5962 during normal business hours. Malfunctions include a signal that has been knocked over, a signal that is stuck in red phase, or not turning green for a particular direction, or a signal with lights out. Please be prepared to provide the location of the signal (the intersecting streets), the direction in which it is affecting, and a description of the problem.
Why doesn't the City place temporary signs at intersections during power outages?
The City of Woodland typically will not place temporary stop signs at an intersection with inoperative traffic signals because it is the recommendation of the State and Federal guidelines to not post temporary signs. One of the major reasons for the guideline is that if the signal returns to power and is operating with a stop sign in place, it causes confusion for the drivers, and creates traffic conflicts.
How do I get speed bumps installed on my street?
Please click here to be directed to the City's Neighborhood Traffic Management Program information page.
People drive too fast on my street, can the City lower the speed limit?
In most cases, lowering the speed limit on certain streets will not slow traffic. The majority of motorists travel at a speed in which they feel is reasonable speed given the surroundings of the street, regardless of what the posted speed limit signs read. The basic speed law states that no person shall drive at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent. Therefore, the State of California has established the 85th percentile, or critical speed as the sensible speed. This is the speed at which 85% of the motorists are traveling at or below.
People are always speeding on my street, can the City post a stop sign?
Stop signs are not a traffic calming method for speed reduction and in most cases will actually increase mid-block speeds as people speed to 'regain' time lost by stopping. Stop signs can only be posted in warranted locations. If you would like to request a stop sign please contact us by clicking here or by calling (530) 661-5820.
Where can I park when I visit downtown Woodland?
The convenient street parking and several parking lots in downtown Woodland are close to Main Street and range from all day to hourly. Click here to see a map that shows all of the public parking lots in the downtown area. For more information about parking in Woodland, please see the Downtown Parking Management Plans.
What is the difference between a marked crosswalk and an unmarked crosswalk?
An informational flyer on crosswalks is provided here.
Are bushes or shrubbery allowed to obstruct the vision of the driver?
The City ordinance reads that no foliage or structural features shall extend into the cross visibility area between three and one-half feet and seven feet above the surface of the public sidewalk area or shoulder. The intent of this restriction is to keep free a walkway without interference by or with vehicular travel. No encroachment of any nature will be permitted or maintained which impedes, obstructs or denies such pedestrian or other lawful travel within the limits of the right-of-way or which impairs sight distance for safe pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Furthermore, the permitted or the owner of the adjacent property shall maintain the hedges, shrubs, walls, fences or similar structures erected for landscaping purposes in a neat and orderly condition at all times.
How do I get a pothole fixed?
Please contact the City of Woodland Public Works Department at (530) 661-5962.
How do I get cracked asphalt on my street fixed?
Please contact the City of Woodland Public Works Department at (530) 661-5962.
When is my street scheduled to be resurfaced?
With the passage of Measure E, the City set a goal of resurfacing every local street within the life of the sales tax measure. Currently we are on track to meet that goal by 2018 with the tax sunsets. If you would like information specific to your street or neighborhood please contact us or call (530) 661-5820.
A crew was on my street last year paving, why are you resurfacing it again this year?
Streets that are scheduled to be resurfaced generally need significant prep work provided first. In some cases, the amount of prep work is extensive and residents on occasion don't realize that it is only prep work. The final product however may be a slurry seal or cape seal applied one year following the prep work.
Why is my street getting resurfaced now it doesn't look that bad really?
There are various levels of resurfacing needs however history has shown that maintaining good roads in condition is significantly less expensive than waiting until they fail and completely rebuilding them. The purpose of sealing the roads is to protect against premature aging and extend the life of the asphalt. Think of it like sunblock for your roads! If you have further questions, please contact us or call (530) 661-5820.
How do I report a street sign that is knocked down or bent?
Please contact the City of Woodland Public Works Department at (530) 661-5962.
What can be done about a car parked illegally on my street?
Please contact the City of Woodland Police Department at (530) 661-7800.
My streetlight Is out. What should I do?
If the pole is metal or concrete, please contact the City of Woodland Public Works Department at (530) 661-5962. Please note the pole number indicated approximately 8' above the ground.
If the pole is wooden, please contact Pacific Gas and Electric Company at (800) 743-5000.
Why are some streetlights white and some yellowish?
Different styles of lights work at different color temperatures. Most of the white or blue looking lights are the newly installed LED light fixtures that were installed as an energy and money saving measure. The yellowish colored lights are typically high pressure sodium lights.
How do traffic signals detect cars and bikes?
Most of the City's traffic signals have a way to detect vehicles and bicycles. Some locations have a loop of wire placed in the roadway that can determine when a vehicle or bicycle is present. Many newer signals have the bicycle detector symbol (small bike symbol) on the loop in the locations where a cyclist is most likely to be detected by a signal.
In a few locations where traffic loops are not feasible, the City has used video detection. The video detection system works by providing an image to a small computer that can detect a change in the image and determine the presence of a vehicle or bicycle.
Video detection can sometimes be compromised by the environment: fog, dust, shadows, trees, headlights and the reflection of the son on the asphalt can all have adverse effects on the accuracy of detection.

A Dictionary of Buddhism
December 9, 2013 | by Brian Short
Donald Lopez has been working in Buddhist studies since the 1980s, teaching courses and writing and editing books, advancing scholarship and dispelling myths about Buddhism as a philosophy and as a religion.
"Thirty years ago, when you said Buddhism, people thought Zen," says Lopez, the Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies in LSA. "Now, when you say Buddhism, people think of mindfulness."
As part of his mission to expand our understanding of Buddhism, Lopez has been working for more than a decade with Robert Buswell, a professor at UCLA, on an extensive dictionary on the subject. With six primary languages, more than 5,000 entries, and a length surpassing one million words, the project is the most ambitious English-language dictionary of Buddhism ever written.
The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism was created to be both comprehensive and specific. It provides terms, for example, from Korean Buddhism, which historically was seen as merely a sub-sect of Chinese Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism, which was previously seen as being "so degenerate," Lopez says, "that it didn't even count as Buddhism, but was labeled Lamaism," despite the fact that "lama" is the Tibetan word for a Buddhist teacher.
"We included all the important philosophical terms," Lopez says, "as well as the doctrinal categories, saints, deities, and texts that are of pan-Asian importance. We provided these in six canonical languages—Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. We also gave extensive cross-references in the body of each entry. Some of the entries are over a thousand words in length, making this as much an encyclopedia as a dictionary."
One single cross-reference can launch readers across continents and millennia, drawing meaningful connections that reveal a tradition that stretches from Tajikstan to Tokyo and around the world. The entry on "buddha," for example, points readers to indigenous language terms including fo (Chinese), hotoke (Japanese), phra phuttha jao (Thai), puch'o (Korean), and sangs rgyas (Tibetan). But the process of constructing a comprehensive dictionary spanning over a million words wasn't straightforward.
Meaningful Connections
"For example, we weren't sure whether we should include a biography of the Buddha," Lopez says. "The materials of the Buddha's biography only began to be collected hundreds of years after his death, and different eras and traditions focus on different episodes from his life. It felt artificial to the tradition to include a single, chronological biography. Instead the life of the Buddha is recounted across many entries."
Still, even at over a million words, there were many things that had to be left out. Lifting the five-and-a-half-pound dictionary, Lopez says, "I guess we need to start thinking about volume two."
The appeal of a book like this to scholars and students is obvious: a quick, accurate reference guide to terms and definitions of importance across the field. But Lopez hopes that non-specialists will also pick up the book and explore traditions that, together, are part of the fastest-growing religion in the world.
"You can read it from cover to cover," Lopez says. "It's filled with great stories."

It's not often we find a fragrance that reminds us both of ourselves and our significant male others, but Carthusia 1681 ($95-130) has us spellbound. The opening number is light and flirtatious, starting with mandarin, bergamot and rosemary. But when it dries, it calms down into a smooth cedar and incense aroma that reminds us of spending cold nights in the winter cabin with our honey, wrapped in a blanket that otherwise lives in our cedar chest at home. So like we said, it works both ways. We just wouldn't suggest both wearing it at the same time.

A March 10 ESPN report indicates that Rafael Nadal's career-high in double-faults during his second round (live stream and TV) match at the 2014 BNP Paribas Open, could be attributed to the same injury that cost him the Australian Open title in January.
Rafa's back will be tested once again tonight, as he takes on 28th seeded Ukrainian, Alexandr Dolgopolov in the (Stadium 1) live stream and televised portion of Monday's action from Indian Wells, Calif.
"[It was] one of the toughest moments of my career, being in the final of a Grand Slam [and] spending one-and-a-half hour there knowing you will not win," said the top-seeded Spaniard before surviving 8 double-faults against Radek Stepanek. "You will not win is not important thing; worse thing is you will not compete."
Tennis Channel will broadcast this third-round match following the conclusion of the women's singles clash between fourth-seeded (Russian) Maria Sharapova and (Italian) qualifier Camila Giorgi.
Courtesy of Watch-ESPN, tennis fans around the world can witness the 13-time Grand Slam champion continue his journey towards a fourth BNP Paribas Open title via free live stream online. Click here to watch the action on a desktop and a number of Internet mobile devices or visit ESPN3 for more information.
As far as tonight's opponent is concerned, not only is Nadal undefeated against Dolgopolov, he's yet to drop a set in five meetings. This will also be the second time that the Spaniard and the Ukrainian have met in between the lines.
The world's No.1 defeated his 31st ranked counterpart in last month's Rio Open (clay) tournament by a final score of 6-3, 7-6(3). According to tennis oddsmakers, Rafael Nadal comes in as an -800 ML favorite to oust Alexandr Dolgopolov [+550 ML], and the OVER/UNDER is set at a combined total of 21 games.
Considering it's no secret that Rafa is less than 100 percent, can the Dolgopolov take advantage of the situation and pull off an improbable upset?
Don't miss tonight's BNP Paribas Open 2014 third-round showdown between two of the world's best. Tune to Tennis Channel to watch the action live on a TV, or simply click on the link above to stream it live courtesy of Watch-ESPN and ESPN3.

Survey Roundup: Compliance Burden, Reputation Breaches
A look at some recent surveys and reports dealing with risk and compliance issues. Send surveys and reports to email@example.com.
As part of its 2014 benchmarking of accounting and finance, professional staffing services firm Robert Half International found 98% of the U.S. executives it surveyed believe their compliance burden will either increase or remain the same over time. Three-quarters of U.S. companies said "streamlining regulations" would ease their burden. Nearly half of U.S. companies said their cost of compliance is rising, while only 1% said costs are falling.
A data breach is among the top three occurrences that affect a company's reputation, along with poor customer service and an environmental incident, a study by Experian Data Breach Resolution and Ponemon Institute found. The study of more than 700 consumers found a majority of respondents felt stress as a result of being affected by a data breach (76%), but that more than 50% did not take any steps to protect themselves from identity theft, which the report said may be the result of data breach "fatigue."
Cybersecurity company Agari released its Email TrustIndex for the first quarter of the year, and it found the health-care industry is the worst performer across all measures of the study. The report says health-care records are five times more vulnerable than credit card data. It also found the amount of potentially malicious email received by large retail banks increased by 500%, highlighting what it said was the need for financial services firms to come under stricter security regulations.
Rising medical costs is the biggest risk, according to a poll of 1,000 business owners and executive by insurance carrier Travelers. Other top concerns include increasing employee benefit costs, legal liability, economic uncertainty, data and cybersecurity issues, complying with laws and attracting and retaining clients.
Iran-based cybercriminals are evolving in a way that coincides with the government's efforts at controlling political dissent and expanding its offensive cyber capabilities, a report from cybersecurity firm FireEye Inc. reported.
A report provides insight on how a privacy law that took effect in China in March is likely to affect third-party due diligence and management programs. The report says that unless companies understand the data privacy rules, their third-party due diligence programs may enhance their compliance with anti-bribery regulations, yet violate China's data privacy laws.

eBay JUMPS THE GUN
Catalyst June Issue 2000
The online auction site eBay jumped the gun by hawking memorabilia of John Cardinal O'Connor the minute it was learned that he died. When contacted by the press, William Donohue said "It's in very poor taste. They should have at least had the decency to wait until after the funeral." He went on to say that "This is a cheap exploitive move to make a quick buck. I'm not against the auctioning of these items, but there should be a waiting period."

It looks like NVIDIA are fans of the upcoming dual-GPU from AMD, the Radeon HD 6990. NVIDIA were approached at CeBit and were asked to pose in front of a camera with the Radeon HD 6990, which they agreed to, pearly whites included.
As the picture above shows, NVIDIA are in good spirits. This could mean a few things. They could be just smiling to get it out of the way, smiling because they know their product is better, or smiling in defeat. My guess is the NVIDIA's dual-GPU will be faster but at the use of much more power (400W+) where the HD 6990 should sit pretty at 300W and below.
This is just guess work, I'm the messenger, please don't shoot me.

Sounds to me that you did well with the encounter.:yup: Your sense of awareness made you less venerable, whether it was the 20ish female who walked toward you, or somebody else that you may have encountered on the train, freeway, store, etc. :yup:
First and formost, to the ones who may be thinking "oh no, here goes another profiler" no, crimminals come in all sorts of ages, sizes, colors, and yes, ages. :yup:
Some may take offense (this is not my intention) to me stating that yes, I too would probably profile them if they were wearing a hoodie over their head, and my spidey sense would place me on alert. The way I take it is, if you can't fully identify yourself by taking off that hoodie, (or any other garment that doesn't give me a clear concise view of your face) then I will accept you're possibly up to no good. If I have to ask you to stop where you are, take off the hoodie and you don't/won't, then you'll get the same response from me with the hand outstretched and the other hand in the position to possibly draw my weapon if I am armed. The fact you didn't have your gun on might make you more venerable, but they don't know you're not armed. Just placing yourself in a good defensive position and saying "stop" is enough to make that person know you're setting the boundries.
Yes, people innocently place hoodies over their heads to help keep warm, and to also make a fashon statement, but the crimminals place em over their heads in an attempt to conceil their identity. With all that in mind, and taking the time of day, area of the city, outside temperature, time of year, etc, I would say you did no wrong by setting up your perimeter. the fact you were alert, and mentally prepared, made you less a target. You also wated their actions from a distance in order to prepare yourself for the journey home and for future encounters, should they happen the next day.:smile:

Observing Solar Cycles Using Sundials
Use the following rule-of-thumb to determine the length of the upper segment of the gnomon: "If the shadow of the gnomon is to reach the circle of hour numbers at the times of the solstices, the gnomon must be about half as long as the radius of that circle. (The theoretical value is 0.44 times the radius.)" Quote courtesy Sundials: Their Theory and Construction, Albert E. Waugh, Dover Publications, Inc., ©1973, p. 32.
Input the radius of the dial plate (one-half the diameter) and your latitude to calculate the length of the lower segment of the gnomon required to properly orient your equatorial sundial.

|Multiholomorphic Maps into G_2 Manifolds
|GAP Seminar
|Aaron Smith, University of Waterloo
|I will discuss continuing recent work concerning the theory of multiholomorphic maps. These are special maps between Riemannian manifolds equipped with vector cross products which intertwine geometric structures between the domain and target. A special case of this theory is the well known theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. I will discuss some of the fundamental analytic issues arising in this theory and prospects/impediments for defining invariants similar to those arising in the case of pseudoholomorphic maps. Special emphasis will be devoted to a case involving maps of 3-manifolds into a G_2-manifold target. This all has close connections to special holonomy manifolds and calibrated geometry.

College Hockey:Silverthorn, Colgate Blank RPI
Senior Netminder Sets School Shutout Record
HAMILTON, N.Y. — Senior goaltender Steve Silverthorn set a Colgate record for career shutouts on Senior Night at Starr Rink on Saturday, as the Raiders blanked Rensselaer 1-0.
Silverthorn turned aside 21 shots to earn his fourth shutout of the season and seventh of his career. In earning his 52nd career victory, he also moved closer to the Colgate (22-8-2, 14-4-2 ECACHL) goaltender record of 55 victories set by Dan Brenzavich in 1998.
"It's not that many, and it's not all me," said Silverthorn of his seventh blanking. "Tonight especially. The penalty kill played amazing in front of me. I can't say enough about our defense. I don't see hard shots at all."
Modesty aside, Silverthorn did make several clutch saves in the final five minutes of the contest to keep the Engineers off the board. Sophomore Kevin Broad created the best opportunity of the night for the visitors when he drove across the crease only to be stopped by the flashing left pad of the Raider netminder.
"He's done it all and he's been backstopping us all year long," said Colgate coach Don Vaughan of Silverthorn. "He's a gamer. He was the best player on the ice tonight, and he won the game for us."
Rensselaer (13-19-2, 4-15-1) coach Dan Fridgen saw a clear reason why his team only mustered quality chances in the waning minutes of the contest.
"At times when we had some opportunities to score goals, it's hard to score goals when you have a guy on your back," he said. "It's sad, but we've let rugby creep back into our game."
The Engineers failed to score for the second consecutive night, and have been shut out in three of their last four games.
"You need some bounces and you need some luck," said Fridgen. "We didn't get any of that this weekend."
Colgate struggled to find offensive chances as well. The Raiders lone goal came late in the second period, while on the power play. Freshman Tyler Burton dropped a pass just inside the blueline to Colgate points leader Jon Smyth, who fired a low shot through the pads of otherwise-perfect Rensselaer netminder Andrew Martin. Yet the home team generated only 18 shots for the game.
"We're tired," said Vaughan. "We looked tired at times tonight. We took some penalties in the third, and when you're already tired it makes it a little tougher."
The Raiders held on to earn their 22nd win of the year, however, matching last season's total. Barring collapse, the seniors will have been a part of a Colgate team whose win total improved in each of the last four years.
"You start to look ahead and think what it's going to be like without them here, and I don't want to do that," said Vaughan. "The program's gotten better in each year that they've been here. They make everyone around them better, and I hope it will carry on after them after they're gone."
Ever focused, Silverthorn refused to get caught up in the pomp and circumstance of his final regular-season home game in a Raiders jersey. With a guaranteed home playoff series in the second round of the ECACHL playoffs and two more regular-season games to come on the road at Clarkson and St. Lawrence, Colgate's goalie believes that time for reflection on the past will come in the future.
"It hasn't really set in yet," he said. "We've got so much left to go in our season that it doesn't really matter. We've still got the playoffs here and then wherever we're going to go after that."
Rensselaer sits four points out of eighth place in the league, and therefore will likely be on the road for the first round of the playoffs. The Engineers hope to improve their current 10th-place position next weekend when they host Princeton and Yale.

Two things jump out at me in this year's distributor survey: Obtaining financing for newly constructed stores continues to be a burden, and distributors are still unsure about how their businesses will fare this year. These are just two of the things covered in American Coin-Op's annual distributor survey.Every distributor on American Coin-Op's mailing list was invited to participate in this unscientific survey.THE PERFECT SIZEI seem to hear it all the time: Self-service laundries are getting bigger. Is that true? Here are the most popular store sizes, in square feet, for those that opened in 2008:
- 2,400
- 3,000
- 2,000
- 2,500
- 4,000
Twenty-nine percent of the new stores cover 2,000 square feet or less. Forty-seven percent are more than 2,000 square feet but not more than 3,000 square feet. Twenty-four percent are larger than 3,000 square feet.The largest laundry in the survey is 8,000 square feet, and the smallest store is 1,000 square feet. The average newly constructed store in 2008 covers 2,743 square feet. The prior averages were 3,200 square feet (2007) and 2,831 square feet (2006).MATCHING UPIf you built a new store in 2008, how does it match up with the numbers from this survey? Here's a quick equipment snapshot of newly constructed stores in 2008: The new stores average 5.8 top loaders, 27.8 front loaders and 32 dryer pockets. The stores are, on average, 2,743 square feet.Here are the new-store profiles for the past three surveys:2007: 6.7 top loaders, 27.7 front loaders, 35.2 dryer pockets, and 3,220 square feet.2006: 9.5 top loaders, 28.2 front loaders, 34 dryer pockets, and 2,831 square feet.2005: 8.2 top loaders, 26.3 front loaders, 29.6 dryer pockets, and 2,546 square feet.REASONS FOR EVERYTHINGThe distributors who had a good year in 2008 in terms of new-store construction listed a variety of reasons for their success. The top-two reasons are the ability to negotiate better leases and offer more attractive equipment.For those with lagging new-store construction last year, financing problems, by far, was the No. 1 cause. Other reasons garnering significant responses include high impact fees, scarcity of good locations and permit problems.KEEPING BUSYOne-third of the distributors broker coin laundries. Forty-three percent of respondents operate some type of route laundry.More than half of the distributors (55%) plan to hold an open house/service school in 2010. A good number of the shows are scheduled for the fall; however, spring events are also on the schedule. (Keep a close eye on our calendar page for a complete events schedule.)SUMMING UP THE YEARAre business conditions improving? Forty-one percent of respondents believe 2009 overall sales will surpass those of 2008. Twenty-five percent expect lower sales this year, and 33% expect overall sales this year to be the same as last year.Click here for Part 1 of this story!

What a difference a headline makes -
Vero insurance declares near 50% of earthquake claims will still not be settled till after 2013
Pathetic !
BUSINESSDESK: Vero Insurance New Zealand, the general insurer owned by Australia's Suncorp Group, expects to complete more than half its claims from the Canterbury earthquakes in the coming year, after returning to profit in the latest financial year.
Suncorp's New Zealand general insurance unit made a profit $25 million in the 12 months ended June 30, turning from a loss of $271 million a year earlier, when its books bore the brunt of the Canterbury quakes that devastated the country's second-biggest city.
The return to profit came from a 19% increase in gross written premiums to $1.07 billion after lifting premiums in response to higher reinsurance costs.
Vero is working through a backlog of claims from the Canterbury quakes and signalled it expects to have completed in excess of 50% of the 19,000 claims lodged within the next year.
"Vero and other major insurers continue to make good progress with the management of claims from five major earthquakes around Christchurch in 2010 and 2011," Suncorp says.
"Vero will also focus on reshaping its business strategy and publicly promoting changes needed in disaster and earthquake insurance management in New Zealand."
The spate of earthquakes in and around the city caused some $20 billion in damage and the Reserve Bank expects the insurance bill to rise as high as $30 billion to cover related costs such as employment protection.
The Australian group didn't break out details of earnings for its New Zealand life insurance business that trades under the AA Life and Asteron brands.
Suncorp's group profit rose to $A724 million in the period from $A453 million a year earlier. Group general insurance earnings rose 26% to $A493 million on a 9.3% bump in gross written premium to $A7.96 billion.
The life insurance business jumped 69% to $A251 million. The banking unit's earnings dropped 69% to $A26 million after it took impairment charges of $A408 million on bad debts in its non-core business.
The board declared a final dividend of 20 Australian cents a share and a special dividend of 15 cents per share, taking the total annual payout to 55 cents.
Suncorp's shares rose 0.3% to $A8.85 in trading on the ASX today, and have gained 5.4% this year.
The stock is rated an average "outperform" based on 15 analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters, with a median target price of $A9.

3 Comments & Questions
What a difference a headline makes -
Insurance companies are all the same. Happy to take your money, but unhappy to pay it back. If this sound familar, it should be. Banks are happy to lend you in good times, but will take it back anyway they like in bad times.
Financial instruments, which both are, need to be regulated into shape. No other business; apart from other monopolies, would get away with this.
Has anyone thought about forming a consortium (just like BlueChip) and sue the insurance companies for a delay in payment? The government should be doing this on your behalf, but they are too weak and filled with self interest.
Just another example of foreign dictatorship. NZ use to own most of its own insurance companies; NZI, State. If we had of kept them, Christchurch residents wouldnt be in the position they are now.
Most foreign investment & ownership is nothing more than a con.

Does fainting spell trouble for your teen?
My daughter and I recently visited a friend of hers (who we will call Jennifer for this column) and Jennifer's mother. As we were standing around chatting, Jennifer suddenly had a mini-seizure and fainted!
She has no history of medical problems. We called 911 and thankfully, a nurse was nearby and came over to help us. Once the paramedics arrived, they performed an EKG, a sugar test and a blood test. All of her tests and vital signs looked normal so they said she could go home.
We figured it had to be the something normal that usually triggers a fainting spell – hunger, low blood sugar or maybe she was even hot and dehydrated. After following up with her pediatrician, Jennifer's mom said she was told fainting is common during the teen years, especially in pre-pubescent girls. It is important to note there are serious factors such as anemia, eating disorders, or heart problems,that could cause a teen to faint.
So this month I thought I'd share some warning signs, and how to handle a similar situation should the need arise. It's important to pass this information along to your children as well.
First, according to experts on the subject, when someone faints, it is because changes in the nervous system and circulatory system cause a temporary drop in the amount of blood reaching the brain. When the blood supply is decreased, a person loses consciousness and falls over. The best thing to do is keep the person lying down so her head is at the same level as her heart. This helps restore blood to the brain.
If the person is wearing tight clothing, loosen it as best you can (belts, collars, etc.) to help restore blood flow. Propping the person's legs up on a backpack or a jacket can also help move the blood back to the brain. Someone who has fainted will usually recover quickly, but it is important to have him/her stay lying down for a few minutes to fully recover. Getting up too quickly could cause another fainting spell.
Remember to call 911 if the person does not regain consciousness within a minute or is having difficulty breathing.
If you are the one feeling ill, or as if you are about to faint, lie down if possible. You can also choose to sit down and put your head between your knees (although lying down is better). Regardless of your position, be sure to get up very slowly (if lying down, come to a sitting position first). Be sure to drink a lot of liquids and start getting your muscles moving by shifting legs back and forth slowly.
It took a while for Jennifer to feel comfortable enough to venture out again on her own to basketball practice, church, and middle school dances. She was afraid of when – or if - a fainting spell might hit again. So far, she hasn't had another fainting spell. And for now, we're chalking it up to being a teen - as if puberty isn't hard enough!

College Hockey:Whitney's goals lead Boston College in comeback win over Merrimack
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — With nearly half a game in the books on Friday night, things looked pretty grim for the No. 1 Boston College Eagles.
Trailing Merrimack, 3-0, at home, the Eagles were getting plenty of offensive chances, but couldn't solve Merrimack goaltender Sam Marotta (38 saves). Then the Eagles' top line took over the game, particularly senior Steven Whitney, and the Eagles executed an improbable comeback, defeating the Warriors, 4-3, in front of 6,638 at BC's Kelley Rink.
Whitney scored Boston College's (9-1-0, 8-1-0 Hockey East) first goal at 7:39 of the second, sparking a three-goal outburst in a span of 5:14. Then in the third, Whitney blasted home the game-winner with 7:22 remaining. Both goals were nearly identical — quick-release snap shots that Marotta couldn't stop.
"What's great about Steven's shooting ability is his quick release," said BC coach Jerry York.
Friday, that certainly was the case. His first goal came as a Merrimack (4-6-1, 3-3-0 Hockey East) defender tried to defend the senior right wing. Whitney though, unleashed a snap shot that flew just under the crossbar to bring the Eagle crowd to life.
Similarly in the third, Whitney took a pass just inside the blue line from linemate Johnny Gaudreau and quickly snapped off a shot inside the upper right corner.
"That individual effort on that shot from the top of the circle, you don't see that too often," said Gaudreau of Whitney's game-winner. "Both goals were rockets. To see that shot, it's pretty amazing to see someone shoot the puck that hard."
After a scoreless opening period, the Eagles dug themselves a massive hole, surrendering three quick goals to the Warriors.
John Gustafsson got Merrimack on the board at 1:15, blasting a shot high stick side on BC netminder Parker Milner (23 saves). At 3:19, big man Kyle Bigos extended the lead, blasting a slap shot from the right point that deflected off a BC defender into the top corner. At 5:51, Mike Collins was credited with a goal when a puck in front somehow trickled through Milner inside the right post.
At 7:16 of the frame, a long shift for the Warriors ended with an icing call. Hoping to give his players a rest, Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy called a timeout. Little did he know that the timeout would be an opportunity for the Eagles to regroup.
"I just explained that there was plenty of time left in the game," said York, whose Eagles overcame a three-goal deficit once already this season in a 5-4 overtime win at Massachusetts on October 19.
Just 23 seconds after the timeout, Whitney ignited the team and the crowd when he blasted in his first goal at 7:39. At 11:50, as a BC power play was set to expire, Patrick Wey one-timed a loose puck when Marotta was down and out. Just over two minutes later, Danny Linell completed the comeback, roofing a backhander from in close over Marotta to send the game to the third even at three.
From that point, Merrimack managed just five shots for the remainder of the game, and didn't get a single shot in the game's closing two minutes when Marotta was lifted for an extra attacker.
Even in defeat though, Dennehy still was happy with the performance of his team.
"[BC] had some really good players make some really good plays," said Dennehy. "That's a good team. That's the number one team in the country."

Residents have been urged to keep raising concerns with police after 58 cannabis plants were seized from a Denholme address.
Officers executed a search warrant at the house on Monday and found the cannabis and equipment. They dismantled the equipment and will destroy the plants.
A 27-year-old local man was arrested in connection with the discovery of the plants and has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Inspector Andy Croasdale said: "We have been made aware of concerns from within the community about drugs issues in Denholme and I hope this latest operation reassures people we are listening to locals and acting upon their concerns.
"I would continue to urge residents to get in touch if they have information and I can promise we will always look into it and act where we can."
Anyone with information about crime in the Bingley and Worth area can contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Student Employment administers and monitors the student employee classification and compensation plan and policies. The office follows student compensation policies for the regulation of wage increases, hiring rates, wage changes, and position classifications.
Individual hiring units determine pay rates for specific student employee positions within the parameters outlined below in the Student Wage Scale.
Student Employment assists hiring units with pay-rate questions and job-level determinations.
In general, the hourly student wage for individual student employees is determined by the individual hiring unit within the level based on the following:
Students may be hired at a rate up to the maximum of each student wage level. Initial pay rates are determined by the hiring unit's administrative official based on the student's expertise within the position and the hiring unit's ability to pay. Additional pay adjustments within each wage level may be given only according to the evaluation guidelines established by each hiring unit.
The current student wage scale reflects four wage levels based on job requirements, type of supervision, and required experience.
Student Worker I ($7.90 to $8.45)
Duties are of a routine and simple nature. The worker requires direct supervision with relatively specific instructions. The position requires little or no training or experience.
Student Worker II ($8.05 to $9.45)
Duties are varied and less routine and involve a moderate degree of responsibility and judgment. The worker may lead or coordinate activities of other student employees. The position requires previous knowledge or skill and/or equivalent experience or training.
Student Worker III ($8.70 to $11.45)
Duties are technical or complex and involve a high degree of responsibility and judgment. The worker may supervise or direct activities of other student employees. The position requires a significant amount of specialized training or experience.
Student Worker IV ($10.20 to $50.00)
Duties are highly technical and/or complex and involve a significant degree of responsibility and judgment. This classification is limited to those positions requiring highly specialized skills and/or technical knowledge.
The student wage scale covers all student positions except Research/Teaching Assistants. Those positions are administered by Graduate Education with appropriate policies and procedures.
