Modeling and Identifying Bottlenecks in the EOSDIS Architecture

Technical Report No. UCB/CSD-97-957
NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) is a series of polar-orbiting and low-inclination satellites that will furnish global space-based measurements to advance scientific understanding of the entire Earth system, including hydrologic, biogeochemical, atmospheric, ecological, and geophysical processes. The EOS Data and Information system (EOSDIS) is a multi-million dollar hardware and software system that will enable scientists to access data generated by EOS. An EOSDIS architecture has been proposed to facilitate efficient organization and high performance retrieval of EOS data, however, the architecture needs to be examined to insure that EOSDIS will deliver adequate performance for anticipated workloads. To that end, we use performance modeling to identify bottlenecks in EOSDIS for two representative user scenarios from climate change research.

I am reposting this blog on the Giving Bowl from earlier this year as Cate Bolt needs our help. She is currently recovering from another stroke, and is unable to type. This halts her fundraising efforts on Twitter, Facebook, and via her blog dramatically, and she worries about what this will do to Foundation 18's future.
The Amazing Cate has done it again.
Not me. The other Cate. Cate Bolt. The one with 9 children, who told me just the other day that by the time her youngest finishes school (he just started), she will have been packing school lunches for 30 years. THIRTY. I may have replied something about her being fucking insane, to which she did not disagree.
Anyway, Cate, Australian Humanitarian and Conservationist, Foundation 18 Founder, tireless Charity worker, handicraft maker and insane mother, came up with the idea of The Giving Bowl.
The Giving Bowl is an international campaign for incidental altruism. The concept is simple - buy a bowl, throw your spare change in each day and when it's full - donate to a worthy cause. But it's not just an 'initiative' or an 'idea' or a 'suggestion'.... she went ahead and started making actual bowls. (you can read about this more in Cate's blog) And they are lovely. They even come packaged so beautifully, I felt like I was ruining something arty when I opened it.
In Cate's words, her objective with this project is to be "as earth friendly, carbon neutral, fair trade and positive impact as we possibly can. To this end we have reviewed every single process from the fibres we select to the power we use to create an industry which has the most positive impact possible for the earth and all of its creatures." (If you wish to know more about the processes of making the bowls, check out the details on The Giving Bowl's Etsy page, where you can also purchase them...lots of them)
This is what we used to throw our spare change into... a plastic cup of unknown origins.
Now doesn't this look better?
So do yourself, your spare change, your favourite charity, and some very worthy kids a favour. Go check them out. Profits from the sale of these bowls go towards the Foundation 18 orphanage and education and medical outreach programs for severely disadvantaged children in Indonesia.
Buy one for yourself. Buy one for every family member. Give a bowl as a gift. It's the ultimate gift that gives and gives and gives.... Just like Cate. Not me. The other one.

With the Warlords of Draenor expansion still months away for World of Warcraft gamers, it's always nice to see some progress on the upcoming changes. A number of spell and ability changes often get posted with the alpha patch notes, but every once in a while a new "artcraft" blog gets posted to the official site. On June 25, another new race-gender combination model was revealed. This time the human male's new model was unveiled.
The human models were by far the weakest in the game. Their faces, in particular, were very poor in both geometry and refinement. With the new character models, those ugly mugs are a thing of the past. The spirit of the original human male is still there; however, the difference is drastic compared to other races where the original wasn't as rough. Not to mention, he has a hefty amount of masculine body hair and muscles fit to fight the biggest bosses.
Alongside the new models players can expect a new level cap of 100, the new world of Draenor, a hefty removal of spells, new statistics on gear, the garrison feature, a number of new dungeons, changes to raid sizes, the removal of tier gear from LFR, and much more. Those looking to start anew in the game can pick it up right now for just $20. That includes the base game and all the expansions currently live. The base World of Warcraft is $10 with all expansions previous to Mists of Pandaria while Mists of Pandaria is also just $10 until July 1.
Warlords of Draenor is expected to release by the end of 2014. When pre-purchases of the game debuted, a release date of fall 2014 was found in the fine print. Those that buy the expansion now can take advantage of the level 90 boost right away. Unlike previous World of Warcraft expansions, Warlords of Draenor is $50 instead of $40; presumably because of the level 90 boost included in the purchase. Those are sold separately for $60.

A number of studies over the past few years have shown that gender equality is "smart economics." The untapped potential of women remains a lost opportunity for economic growth and development the world can ill afford. Women's economic participation promotes agricultural productivity, enterprise development at the micro, small, and medium enterprise levels, as well as enhances business management and returns on investment.
In addition to boosting economic growth, investing in women produces a multiplier effect – women reinvest a large portion of their income in their families and communities. Women also play key roles in creating peaceful and stable societies –important factors for economic growth. Unfortunately, these benefits have not been universally recognized and have therefore not translated into women's full economic participation. Women still face obstacles when trying to establish new businesses or expand existing ones. Among the biggest hurdles are discriminatory laws, regulations and business conditions, as well as women's lack of access to property rights, finance, training, technology, markets, mentors, and networks.
Women's Economic Empowerment
Investments to advance women's economic opportunity include:
- Financial Inclusion: Support efforts to increase women's access to quality financial services, such as credits, savings, insurance, and payment systems through better regulation, technology, and financial literacy.
- Women and Agriculture: Highlight women's vital role in advancing agricultural development and food security, and encourage policy and programmatic support for female farmers and agricultural businesses owned by women.
- Enterprise Growth: Support NGOs, industry associations, and corporations advocating for policy and programmatic solutions that enable women's economic participation, including reforming discriminatory laws and practices that hinder access to capital, land tenure, and inheritance rights, and encouraging a policy climate conducive to the growth of women-run SMEs.
- Technology Access: Close the gender gap in access to mobile phones, the Internet, and other vital technologies by addressing cultural, financial, educational, and motivational barriers.
- Capacity Building: Provide capacity building, training, and mentoring programs to women and girls and equip them with market information, entrepreneurship opportunities, and the necessary skills to attain economic independence, for example, through our Pathways to Prosperity and African Women Entrepreneurs Program.
- Business Leadership: Encourage best practices to increase women's representation in senior management positions, including on corporate boards.
- Data Collection: Promote the collection and alignment of gender-sensitive data in the economic sector to create evidence-based policy and programs aimed at increasing women's economic participation across all sectors.

Brazilian feijoada.
Here you have a chance to learn about this exotic dish and a little bit about the Brazilian cuisine and culture, as well.
The Brazilian feijoada is prepared with black beans (also white, pinto and red beans), a variety of salted pork or beef products, such as pork trimmings (ears, tail, feet), bacon, smoked pork ribs, and at least two types of smoked sausage and jerked beef (loin and tongue).
This stew is best prepared over low fire in a thick clay pot. The final dish has the beans and meat pieces barely covered by a dark purplish-brown broth. The taste is strong, moderately salty but not spicy, dominated by the flavors of black bean and meat stew.
1 pound (450 grams) dry black beans
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 pound (450 grams) pork loin, cut into chunks
2 large onions, sliced
1 head of garlic, peeled and chopped
1 pound (450 grams) carne seca or cornbeef, cut into chunks
1/2 pound (225 grams) fresh sausages, such as chorizo or Italian sausage
1 pound (450 grams) smoked sausage, such as linguica or kielbasa
200 grams bacon
3-4 bay leaves
Side dishes
In Brazil, feijoada is traditionally served with white rice, and accompanied by chopped fried collard greens (couve mineira), lightly roasted coarse cassava flour (farofa), and peeled or sliced orange. Other common side dishes are boiled or deep-fried cassava, deep-fried bananas, and pork rinds (torresmo). A pot of hot pepper sauce is often provided on the side. The meal is often washed down with cachaça, caipirinha, or beer.
Since it is a rather heavy dish that takes several hours to cook, feijoada is consumed in Brazil only occasionally, always at lunch time. Traditionally, restaurants will offer it as the "daily's special" only once or twice a week, usually on Wednesdays and Saturdays. However, some restaurants will serve feijoada all week long.
Historians like Luís da Câmara Cascudo consider that feijoada is a Brazilian version of stews from Southern European countries like France (cassoulet), Spain, Italy, and of course, Portugal. Traditional Portuguese bean-and-pork dishes (cozidos) like those from the regions of Estremadura and Trás-os-Montes are the ancestors of Brazilian feijoada. The earliest printed references to the dish appeared in the mid-19th century, based on menus of upper-class, urban restaurants.
Now you're ready to get all the ingredients together and have fun cooking and eating this delicious dish.

Format Post in Economics BY Geoffrey Jones, Jonathan Zeitlin

This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art survey of research in business history. The Author of this Book is Geoffrey Jones, Jonathan Zeitlin Business historians study the historical evolution of business systems, entrepreneurs and firms, as well as their interaction with their political, economic, and social environment. Array ISBN . They address issues of central concern to researchers in management studies and business administration, as well as economics, sociology and political science, and to historians. The Oxford Handbook of Business History (Oxford Handbooks in Business & Management) available in English. They employ a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, but all share a belief in the importance of understanding change over time. The Oxford Handbook of Business History has brought together leading scholars to provide a comprehensive, critical, and interdisciplinary examination of business history, organized into four parts: Approaches and Debates; Forms of Business Organization; Functions of Enterprise; and Enterprise and Society. The Handbook shows that business history is a wide-ranging and dynamic area of study, generating compelling empirical data, which has sometimes confirmed and sometimes contested widely-held views in management and the social sciences. The Oxford Handbook of Business History is a key reference work for scholars and advanced students of Business History, and a fascinating resource for social scientists in general.

Using Mac OS X's Terminal application, I want to use
netstat to display a real-time, continuous listing of my internet connections.
For example, with Terminal open and the proper
netstat command in use, each time I browse to a website, display the source and destination IP addresses and ports.
netstat -w 3 displays real-time packet and byte info. I figured
netstat -w 3 -p tcp would show actual source and destination addresses, but it does not.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Guard Movie Reviews
Release Date: Jul 29, 2011
Genre: ComedySuspense/Thriller
Rating: (R)
User reviews on Guard
Great Comedy. This movie is clever and smart, and makes you laugh out loud.
This was very strange at the beginning, but as it goes on one becomes more clued in to the goings on and it gets better and better.
Outrageously funny in its own sick, perverted way. With a serious police, intrigue, crime, thriller running underneath it all. And it keeps you guessing on various levels all the way thru to the end.
This was a very funny comedy and i had an amazing time watching it. i do not remember the last time i have laughed so hard and I highly recommend seeing this film in the theaters. Brendan Gleeson is hilarious and he is so good in this role and Don Cheadle is a perfect counterpart for his role. I think both actors were really good and they worked very well together. I really like the director's sense of humor, it is very sharp and does not involve farting or p**** jokes and i absolutely love that. The dialogue in the film is wonderful, sharp and extremely funny, I wish there were more comedies just like this one. Overall, I think that it is almost impossible not to like this film.
I really miss seeing comedies like this one, it is super funny and kind of old-fashion in a sense. Gleeson and Cheadle are really funny together and they create a great dynamic in the film. The film is full of violence, foul language and it is kind of melancholic and it is very enjoyable to watch. It is very different from the comedies that are made in the United States and i really liked that. i laughed out loud many times throughout the film and I do not remember the last time i laughed like that in the theater. I think this is a great film and i highly recommend seeing it in the theaters.
This is a comedy directed by John Michael McDonagh and stars Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle and Mark Strong. I really liked this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. It is a police-buddy comedy and it is simple, funny and sweet all in the same time. The film is witty and clever and i love comedies that have smart jokes that do not involve farting or jokes about private parts(like most U.S comedies do now days). Gleeson and Cheadle make a great pair and they are very funny together, I think they did a really good job in this film. Overall, I had an amazing time watching this film.

Unbridled Hubris, circa the year 2000.
- Posted by chicagosean
- on September 3rd, 2012
A little while back, my buddy Brian Lund (@bclund) solicited stories from traders who lived through the 90's/Internet mania trading environment. I quickly fired off this story to him which he ended up posting on his blog. I'm reposting it here for those who may not have seen it…
I worked in a tightly knit office of about 30+ guys during the 1998-2002 internet boom/bust.
So, around late 1999, this hot-shot late 20′s stockbroker decides he wants to quit his job and become a day trader. He comes into our office, all full of himself and with a check for $50k to open an account.
He proceeds to attempt to chat up every guy in our office to learn from them how they made money. This isn't normally a bad thing as we were all friendly and in it together. But this dickbag was so cocky. Whenever some of our most profitable traders would give him advice, he'd scoff and be like "that's how YOU make money, and thanks, but I've got some better ideas".
About two months in, from the way he was acting you'd think this guy was making money. Every day, at least once a day, he'd have some profitable trade on and he'd strut around the office making sure everyone knew about it. Of course, you never heard about any of the losing trades he was also sitting on. And in reality after two months his 50k account was down to about 30K….
But then he "tamed the beast."
Fast forward to just a few days after the NASDAQ peak in April 2000. Yahoo ($YHOO) has traded significantly down from its highs, and Mr. Dickbag decides that it is DEFINITELY going back to all time highs. So one morning on the first green opening in several days, he loads the boat huge. Leverage was a bit of a non-issue at our firm, so even though he had approx $30K in his account, he put on a position worth about $150K of $YHOO stock.
Well, wouldn't you know it, $YHOO starts retracing back to its highs, moving 10 points up like it was nothing. DB starts hooting and hollering, cheering his stock position on, making quite a spectacle of himself. $YHOO moves up another 10 points and it starts to become unbearable.
He calls up his wife: "Honey! I'VE TAMED THE BEAST!! I'm killing it in Yahoo!!" he repeated several times. He then calls up his former stockbroker buddies gloating about how quitting his job was the greatest decision of his life and that they should quit and join him. "I'm making a fortune! I'm taking all you pussies out this weekend! I'm getting us a limo and drinks are on me!"
Meanwhile, the rest of us in the office were all looking at each other, rolling our eyes, and secretly plotting to pants this dick and throw him out the window. Nobody likes gloaters, and we all especially hated this guy.
At the close, DB was up about 35 points in his $YHOO position, within one good run from all-time highs again. Naturally, he decided to break the cardinal rule of day trading and hold his position over night. He wouldn't even take some of the profits off the table. He was so sure tomorrow this stock would be making highs again.
Well, the next day, $YHOO did indeed gap up higher, but only slightly. Of course, our friend had a mighty big smile on his face, as he now considered himself the top dog in the office. He was sitting on something like $150,000 of open profits on an account that just 24 hours earlier was worth $30K.
I wish I could tell you this story ended here with our hero taking his profits and picking up his buds in his fancy limo.
Sadly, Yahoo essentially traded straight down, hard, for a seemingly unending streak of days. And two months later this Dickbag was separated from his wife who filed for divorce, was penniless, and was dead. He committed suicide.
Moral of the story? Don't be a Dickbag.
I received a lot of feedback and questions about this story after Brian posted it on his blog. I would like to point out that this Yahoo trade was not the sole reason of this man's suicide. He clearly was fighting several demons in his personal life – most notable the separation from his wife. The Yahoo trade was just one more item in a terrible run of life events.

In support of Mother's Day (May 13) and National Women's Health Week (May 13–19), the NDEP is reminding women with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) about their lifelong risk for getting type 2 diabetes. Women with a history of GDM have a 35 to 60 percent chance of developing diabetes in the next 10 to 20 years, and should be tested for diabetes 6 to 12 weeks after their baby is born. If they do not have diabetes, they continue to be at risk and should talk to their doctor about additional testing. It's also important to remember that the child from a pregnancy affected by GDM may also be at increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes in the future.
Visit www.YourDiabetesInfo.org/GDM for more information about steps to take to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in the future. If you're looking for tips from a woman with a history of GDM, watch NDEP's new video "The Lasting Impact of Gestational Diabetes: Making Healthy Choices as a Family," where NDEP volunteer Sandra Aguilar Scott shares advice about preventing type 2 diabetes in her family. NDEP also has the It's Never Too Early tip sheet and the Do It for Them! But Do It for You Too. bilingualfotonovela featuring dramatic stories of Latinas talking to Latinas about preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes and being healthy for their children and themselves.

TODAY Study Finds Two Drugs Better Than One to Treat Youth
with Type 2 Diabetes
A combination of two diabetes drugs, metformin and rosiglitazone, was more effective in treating youth with recent-onset type 2 diabetes than metformin alone, a study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found. Adding an intensive lifestyle intervention to metformin provided no more benefit than metformin therapy alone.
The Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study is the first major comparative effectiveness trial for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in young people. Click here for study results published in The New England Journal of Medicine on April 29, 2012.
New HBO Series, "The Weight of the Nation" Premieres
May 14 and 15—Request Your Community Film
Screening Kit
Looking for ways to support your efforts to increase awareness about evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes among people at high risk?
The NDEP invites you to consider hosting a screening of HBO's newest documentary series, The Weight of the Nation.
The Weight of the Nation is a presentation of HBO and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), in association with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and in partnership with the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Kaiser Permanente.
The Weight of the Nation features case studies, interviews with our nation's leading experts, and individuals and their families that demonstrate how obesity affects the health of the nation. Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease are a few of the diseases directly linked to obesity and will dramatically increase if the status quo does not change. For example, in one of the films, we learn about genetically identical twins, Tim and Paul, who led very similar lives. After Paul was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Tim realized that he, too, might be at risk for type 2 diabetes and participated in the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) launched more than a decade ago by the National Institutes of Health. In doing so, Tim learned how to make lifestyle changes that helped him lose weight by being more active and making healthier food choices. For Paul, these are also important steps that he, too, can take to manage his diabetes to reduce his chances of developing health problems in the future.
If your organization is interested in hosting a film screening event, you can request a screening kit, which includes the four documentary films, ten bonus shorts and a discussion to kick-start the conversations in your community. To order a film screening kit and to learn more, visit HBO.com/theweightofthenation.

At long last, Chicago's weather is getting warmer. The snow's melting away, the wind is biting less, and people no longer have to bundle up to stay warm outside. Still, the Needle Shop on 3738 Lincoln Avenue is an excellent resource for those who want to sew new clothes for themselves or learn how to do so this spring.
Founded in 2005, it's become a prominent supply store and workshop in the area for people looking to get clothing supplies and/or learn how to sew in various weekly classes.
The beginner course the Needle Shop offers, 'Sewing 101', teaches students the basics of sewing machine operation and how to choose and use certain fabrics. At the end of the beginner course, participants will have created a simple pillow cover with a zipper and can move on to more advanced classes. These courses, according to store staff member/instructor, Geraly Unite-O'Day, teach people how to make specific kinds of cloth products, such as Roman Shades, Ottoman Upholstery, tote bags, or the obscure sounding 'Raglan Sleeve Top'.
"You have to take a few classes beyond the Sewing 101 to take the Raglan Sleeve course." Geraly explained, going on to clarify that a Raglan Sleeve is a type of stitch where a sleeve is attached to the main body of a shirt at a slanted angle, like in baseball uniforms. She went on to point out various cloth bags, shirts, and quilts that were hanging from the top of the walls, each of them beautiful, and each made in one of their DIY classes.
If one were to write an essay to describe the rest of the Needle Shop, the word 'Colorful' would pop up often. The main spaces of the store is coated with fabric rolls hung from chain weights, each with a unique pattern and décor to them. To the sides are drawers, racks and cubbyholes containing thread, sewing needles, tacks, seam-rippers, and the other tools of the trade. And in a nook near the entrances is a set of comfy seats and a shelf filled with books on sewing and stitching techniques.
All in all, the Needle Shop is a comfortable and cheerful place for people to learn to sew and pick up the supplies to do so. It's a store and community space for, as Geraly Unite O'Day put it, "people who always wanted to learn to sew, some who sewed as kids, forgot, and wanted to re-learn", and everyone in between.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) -- Thirty-four years after his death, the state of Florida has found and restored what it believes to be the earliest film of Jim Morrison, shot in the early 1960s when he was a student at Florida State University.
In the FSU promotional film, Morrison plays a clean-cut prospective student who is denied enrollment at the school.
"We would like to accept you," Morrison's character is told. "Indeed, we'd like to offer more courses, more sections, but we just don't have the space -- that together with the lack of professors."
"But what happened?" he asks. "How come my parents, and the state and the university didn't look ahead?"
Morrison, who became lead singer of The Doors, attended FSU before enrolling in UCLA's film school. He died in Paris in 1971 at age 27.
The black-and-white clip was discovered last year among films that WFSU, a PBS station operated by the university, donated to the state in 1989. It was recently posted on the state's film archive Web site after being digitally converted.
It will air today on VH1.
McKellan the soaps wizard
LONDON -- Ian McKellen is fulfilling a long-held ambition -- an appearance on the British soap opera "Coronation Street."
McKellen, who played the wizard Gandolf in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, will appear in 10 episodes of the show, producers said Thursday.
"We are delighted that an actor of Ian McKellen's caliber has agreed to appear in the show," said producer Tony Wood.
McKellen, 65, already has two Academy Award nominations and a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II.
He said last year his one remaining goal was to appear on "Coronation Street," a much-loved show about everyday life in the northern English community of Weatherfield.
He will play Mel Hutchwright, a flamboyant romance novelist with a host of secrets, in episodes due to start airing in May.

Leonard Sweet shares this story: Best-selling author Robert Fulghum is well-known for his "all-I-really-need-to-know-I-learned-in-kindergarten" books. Less well known is the fact that he spent many years in the pulpit in Washington state. He writes about his preaching days and his fear of Mother's Day in his book It Was on Fire When I Lay Down On It:
"For 25 years of my life, the second Sunday of May was trouble...I was obliged in some way to address the subject of Mother's Day. It could not be avoided...The congregation was quite open-minded and gave me free reign in the pulpit. But when it came to the second Sunday in May, the expectation was summarized in the words of one of the more outspoken women in the church: 'I'm bringing my mother to church on Mother's Day, Reverend, and you can talk about anything you want, but it had better include MOTHER, and it had better be good!'"

Walworth woman pleads guilty to theft
February 28, 2013
ELKHORN — A 47-year-old Walworth woman pleaded guilty to a felony charge Feb. 18 after she stole money from her father's IRA account.
Kimberly L. Doran, W4720 Stateline Road, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of theft from a business setting in an amount between $5,000 and $10,000.
Three other charges of theft will be dismissed but considered during her April 22 sentencing hearing. Doran faces up to six years imprisonment.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Jan. 23, 2011, Robert Schmoyer told police that in 2000 he became very ill and moved into a rest home in Chicago because his wife was no longer able to care for him.
In 2009, Schmoyer moved into the home of his daughter, Doran. By late 2009, he went back into a retirement home, which he described as a "dump."
While in the home, Doran visited her father, who told her he needed to leave the home because of its conditions and how the staff treated the residents.
In April 2010, Schmoyer moved to Eagle to live with Doran. At that time, Doran was given power of attorney over her father's finances, which allowed her to deposit his Social Security checks.
In September 2010, Schmoyer spoke with Doran about his IRA account, which was in the name of his late wife.
Schmoyer never gave his daughter permission to remove money from the account, but when he reviewed paperwork he saw that funds had been withdrawn.
In April 2011, a $5,000 check was deposited into Schmoyer's checking account, and he learned it came from an IRA. Schmoyer told police that whenever he asked his daughter about the IRA account, she would "scream."
Schmoyer asked Doran's husband, William, about this and he stated, "Bob, we've got the P.O.A. We can do whatever we want with that money."
Jeanne Racine, an employee of the company managing Schmoyer's accounts, on Jan. 24 , 2012, met with Lake Geneva police. Racine told police she met with Doran in March of 2010 and spoke with her about becoming her father's power of attorney. Racine said only Doran and her father had access to the IRA account.
On Sept. 9, 2010, Racine received a call from Doran requesting a $10,000 withdrawal from the IRA account for Schmoyer's medical expenses.
Racine warned Doran of the tax penalties involved in the withdrawal, but Doran insisted.
In May of 2011, Racine spoke with Schmoyer, who learned of withdrawals from his account, and said they were done without permission.
Schmoyer reported to Racine that his daughter had taken more than $35,000.
When Racine contacted Doran, she told Doran that Schmoyer was very upset and that he planned on taking legal actions relating to the withdrawal of the money from the IRA account.
According to Racine, Doran responded, "It was a loan and we are paying it back as we speak."

Have you been a victim of well-meaning toxicity? For example, you go to lunch with your friend who dwells on your problem or illness wanting to know all the intimate details, when all you want to do is simply have fun and forget all about it? Or you lose a considerable amount of weight, but your friends and family act annoyed, even sling a few barbs your way, acting like they are jealous? In other words, do you get the sense that people prefer you a bit lower down on the ladder, so that they can feel higher up?
9 ways to power up, and build up immunity to well-meaning toxicity:
- Harness your real self. Don't become a second rate version of yourself based on what others say about you. You were born an original.
- See yourself as separate from others, in other words how you differ to reach a truer understanding of your distinct identity.
- Instead of self-silencing, communicate clearly, so that others understand what you need. Therefore if your friend is fascinated by your misfortune, sees you as an object of pity say, "I would rather not talk about it."
- Know what energizes you and depletes you and act accordingly.
- Do you respond to everyone's requests, even when doing so violates your own needs? If the answer is yes, it's time to say no.
- Do you have an internal struggle between social convention and your individuality? It's time to leave your comfort zone and unshackle your true spirit.
- Accept that jealousy is a normal human emotion. Get used to a few jealous remarks or looks. You will begin to neutralize them as you get exposed - similar to aversion therapy.
- If you are the object of envy, don't contract yourself or feel inhibited about owning your success. Let it shine!
- Give the jealous person a compliment because you have a compassionate understanding of the issue. You can both share in the glory.
Inevitably some people will line up behind you and others won't. What is important is that you are in good alignment. Make your activities and relationships self-affirming, creating a circle of good energy around you and your friends. Consequently, you will feel energized and stimulated, not tired or depleted from doing for others or worrying about them.

Are you looking for a stock?

There is a reason why Canada's top money man -- Mark Carney -- is worried about the country's exposure to the euro zone crisis, even though the financial services sector's direct exposure is minimal.
Only 3.4 percent of the tier-1 capital by Canada's biggest banks is tied to Italian bonds. That compares to 154 percent for Germany's banks and almost 200 percent for banks in France.
The government of Canada hasn't had a problem selling sovereign debt, according to the Bank of Canada. Governor Carney says demand remains steady because of the world perception that our credit is higher quality than most other countries. But Carney points out that risks to the stability of Canada's financial system are high and have increased "markedly." That's because the euro zone could slow global growth.
Here's what Carney fears if that's the case: First, it would make things worse for sovereign debt holders and issuers, which would taint the quality of bank loan portfolios. With the world's economy slowing, Canadians could be hit as companies tighten the purse strings, yet again.
Part of that last point is tied to the United States -- our biggest export customer. It's not just because of the euro zone, but America's own debt crisis. Carney points out that there's a small but significant risk that if a divided Congress can't come together to tame the U.S. budget deficit, investors could lose faith in Washington and start demanding more in return for lending it cash. What Carney's concerned about is the pendulum swinging too far the other way: tightening belts and putting a crimp in imports of Canadian products along the way.
That wouldn't be so much of a problem if we weren't spending $1.49 on every dollar's worth of pre-tax income --a near record high and expected to climb. Carney has been beating the household debt drum for a year now and if the euro zone crisis expands, an unemployed Canadian is a Canadian not servicing their debts.
TD Economics is telling clients today "the shock will be mild enough to avoid a household deleveraging, but will certainly constrain household expenditures."
TD believes the European financial crisis will likely worsen as we start 2012 and ease up by the summer. But it's warning global growth will slow further and the risks will continue to increase. As a result, the bank is reminding us that the Bank of Canada is unlikely to raise interest rates in this environment -- but unless Canada slides back into recession, it's not predicting rate cuts, either.

Memorable All-Star Game Moments
Tonight brings us the 84th edition of the MLB All-Star game, maybe the most relevant, and entertaining of all the All-Star games, if such a thing can be said about an All-Star game. I think what makes the MLB All-Star game have more memorable moments than others, is because the players generally play shorter amounts than the other games, and because baseball is not a high stress sport, aside from pitching, the players can afford to go all out when needed. And when that happens, we get plays that are remembered throughout history. These are arranged in chronological order.
1941 – Williams Walk-Off
Ted Williams came into the Mid-Summer classic batting a blistering .405, in a year where he would finish at .406. But with the American League down a run, and two men on base, one of whom was heated rival Joe DiMaggio, Williams connected and hit a 3-run walk-off home run to give the American League the victory. Most notable in this moment, is that Williams was playing in the 9th inning, and didn't come out after 3 innings like today's stars do.
1970 – Rose Runs Fosse
A play that shows how much the All-Star game used to matter, and one of the most memorable for all the wrong reasons. In the bottom of the 12th inning of the 1970 game, Rose rounded 3rd with a chance to score the winning run, and Ray Fosse stood blocking the plate. Rose came barreling in, and destroyed Fosse, and ended up scoring the winning run. Fosse came away with a separated shoulder, and effectively ended his career on the play. Not surprisingly, Rose was unapologetic.
1972 – Reggie Hits the Roof
In the bottom of the 3rd, Reggie Jackson, then with Oakland stepped up and hit one of the biggest home-runs in All-Star history, literally. Jackson connected on a ball that traveled over 520 feet, clearing the upper deck in right field at Tiger Stadium before crashing into a light tower, and falling back down to the playing field.
1993 – Kruk Needs New Shorts
Randy Johnson was hell on left-handed hitters in his prime, and John Kruk, never one to be shy, made it known he was not excited to face the Big Unit during the All-Star game. On the first pitch of their encounter, Johnson fired one 8 feet over the head of Kruk, who looked like he had just seen a ghost after the pitch blazed by. From there Kruk may as well have been swinging from the bench, because he went down flailing at the next three pitches, never coming close to making contact.
1999 – Ted Williams Returns
Ted Williams famously returned to the place that made him famous and became the main attraction. Driven onto the field in a golf cart, he was surrounded on the mound by every player on both teams, just hoping for a chance to meet the legend. Later helped to the mound by Mark McGwire and Tony Gwynn, he threw out the first pitch. Famous for not tipping his cap to the Boston crowd after his final MLB at-bat, Williams obliged, creating an unforgettable moment, that left almost everyone watching with tears in their eyes.
2001 – Cal Ripken's Home Run
In the All-Star game at age 40, Cal Ripken stepped up in the 3rd inning to a standing ovation, and delivered, hitting the first pitch he saw into the stands in left, becoming the oldest player to hit a home run in the All-Star game, guiding the AL to a victory, and taking home the game's MVP in the process.

I couldn't find what I need from google, so I figured it's time to ask here.
Basically I'm looking for something like an online catalogue for all kinds of function graphs. I need a few specific ones and it wouldn't hurt to look for other options in case I don't find what I'm looking for.
If someone's wondering, I need those for image manipulation algorithms.
