Epic Qualities in Moby-Dick
Date: August 1952
Creator: Russell, John Joe
Description: Many critics not satisfied with explaining Moby-Dick in terms of the novel, have sough analogies in other literary genres. Most often parallels have been drawn from epic and dramatic literature. Critics have called Moby-Dick either an epic or a tragedy. After examining the evidence presented by both schools of thought, after establishing a workable definition of the epic and listing the most common epic devices, and after examining Moby-Dick in terms of this definition and discovering many of the epic devices in it, I propose the thesis that Melville has written an epic, not unlike the great epics of the past.

Literary and Realistic Influences upon the Women of the Spectator
Date: August 1952
Creator: Perry, Carolyn Oliver
Description: This study will outline the two great literary genres of character-writing and satire, upon the tradition and practice of which Joseph Addison and Richard Steele based their characters of women in the Spectator. The three-fold purpose of this study is to determine how the Spectator was influenced by, and what it in turn contributed to, the two literary genres, the "Character" of women and satire on women; and to present the social status of the female audience as it existed and as the Spectator sought to improve it.

Religion as a Factor in the Literary Career of Nathaniel Hawthorne
Date: July 1952
Creator: Miller, John Davidson
Description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate various religious elements in Nathainel Hawthorne's life in relation to his career as a literary artist. The moral seriousness of this author at once strikes us as being something closely akin to religious sentiment, but he refused to endorse any specific dogma or to subscribe to any one organized faith. We know from his work that he had a religion, but his silence leaves ample room for conjecture if we wish to "label" him, or decide which of those religions that he contemplated was most congenial to his nature.

Creator: Bruckner, Karen Lindsey
Description: The purpose of this thesis is to reveal the structural unity of The Brothers Karamazov through the isolation and analyzation of the various techniques used by Dostoyevsky to unify the novel. In order to retain more than a few impressions and remembrances of outstanding events, in order to retain the novel itself, the reader needs to be aware of the structure of the work. If the fullest realization of the novel depends upon the reader's perception of its structure, the structure becomes the important critical element.

Phil Lamason, the New Zealand World War II bomber pilot who saved a large group of Allied airmen from death in the infamous Buchenwald concentration camp, has died at the age of 93.
Lamason died at his home on the farm outside Dannevirke where he lived yesterday afternoon, his son, John, said.
Lamason, a squadron leader, ranked as the senior officer among the 168 airmen marched into the notorious camp in August 1944 and risked his own life to get word to the Luftwaffe, the German air force, that the men were being held there illegally.
The tough, determined New Zealander learned the Gestapo had ordered the execution of the group of flyers and worked desperately to smuggle out news of their incarceration.
On October 19, 1944, Luftwaffe officers, who had no time for the Gestapo, arrived at the camp gates and demanded the release of the airmen. The flyers were freed and taken to Sagan, a regular Prisoner of War camp.
The majority of the 168 had been shot down in raids over France and, like Lamason, had been on the run in civilian clothes before being captured and held in Fresnes prison outside Paris.
Because they were not in uniform they were regarded as enemy agents or saboteurs and not accorded POW rights.
On 15 August 1944, five days before Paris was liberated, the men were herded into grossly overcrowded railway cars and five days later delivered to Buchenwald in eastern Germany, southwest of Leipzig.
Buchenwald wasn't an extermination camp but thousands of prisoners slaving in nearby munitions plants died from disease and hunger and countless others were killed by random acts of brutality and their bodies thrown in the camp ovens.
One RAF man wrote later that Lamason "epitomised all that is good in a leader and there is no doubt in my mind that his sustained effort as the front man for our group ... was a major contributing factor in us ... getting transferred to a recognised POW camp."
SS guards manned Buchenwald but much of the administration was run by inmate factions and Lamason had to make many contacts and tread carefully to succeed in getting word of their plight to the Luftwaffe.
A Dutchman was particularly helpful. Lamason said years later: "I told him just to say we were here and to get us out. He achieved it but I don't know how. I never inquired and I didn't want to know. I'd seen how the Germans handled people. If you didn't know something they couldn't get it out of you."
Two of the 168 - two New Zealanders, nine Australians, 29 Canadians, 47 Britons and 81 Americans - died from sickness in Buchenwald and the airmen's shaven heads and emaciated frames shocked POWs in Sagan.
The second New Zealander was Malcolm Cullen, from Maungaturoto, Northland, a Typhoon pilot shot down over Amiens in May 1944. He was on the loose until picked up in Paris two months later. Cullen died in 2003.
Lamason joined the RNZAF in September 1940, learned to fly here and sailed for England in April 1941.
He flew his first tour on Stirlings with 218 Squadron, winning an immediate Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) in April 42 for beating off German night fighters with some skilled flying on the way home from Pilsen, Czechoslovakia.
He then instructed other pilots at 1657 Heavy Conversion Unit and while there was twice mentioned in dispatches for "bravery and distinguished service" before joining 15 Squadron on Lancasters for his second tour as a flight commander and squadron leader.
Lamason flew the tough targets in early 1944 - Berlin, Leipzig, Nuremberg - and was awarded a second DFC for "gallantry, leadership and enthusiasm".
The New Zealander, a solid six-footer, was not afraid to speak his mind. Before the Nuremberg raid in March 1944, the RAF's worst night of the war when 100 Lancasters were lost, Lamason tackled the station commander. He was hugely critical of the route chosen and forecast heavy losses.
Lamason was proved correct and was dismayed to watch bombers going down all along the route.
The New Zealander survived that raid unscathed but his Lancaster was shot down while bombing a bridge outside Paris the night after D-Day, June 7, 1944. He and his navigator parachuted together and were sheltered by French patriots until they were captured by the Gestapo in Paris seven weeks later and locked away in Fresnes Prison.
After he got back to England in May 1945, Lamason was chosen to lead one of the Lancaster squadrons for "Tiger Force" for the final battle against Japan.
He was on his way home on furlough before the assignment when the war was ended by the atomic bomb.
Lamason was tempted by English peacetime flying jobs offered to him but he and his wife Joan, whom he'd married before going overseas, settled on the farm at Dannevirke.
Lamason's role in the Buchenwald affair was first publicised in the 2005 book Night After Night - New Zealanders in Bomber Command - and that led to several documentaries about his story, one an American-made programme, Lost Airmen of Buchenwald, shown recently on Prime.
Born in Napier on September 15, 1918, Philip John Lamason is survived by two sons and two daughters. His wife died in 2009.

The present application is a Continuation-In-Part of an international application serial number PCT/IB2007/053909 filed Sep. 26, 2007, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/847,368 filed Sep. 27, 2006, both of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
NETWORKS-ON-CHIP (NOCS), a packet-switched interconnection system for on-chip communication among cores, represent a scalable infrastructure for next generation multicore computation systems. Multicore computation system applications include a very important part of the consumer electronics market, like mobile phones, encryption systems, wireless communication products, GPS navigators, set-top boxes and multimedia portable devices (such as MP3 or video players) among others.
The broad potential field of application of NoCs means that target devices will have very diverse requirements. Some of them will demand high performance processing, some will need very low-power operation, and some others will require maximum reliability.
One of the main advantages of NoCs, thanks to their packet-switching paradigm and distributed nature, is the extensive possibility of adaptation to the aforementioned different requirements for final devices. This is feasible thanks to the large available spectrum for configuration and customization of several characteristics and power/performance/cost tradeoffs. In this patent application, we leverage these degrees of freedom to show techniques which allow the optimization of NoCs towards one or more of the objectives mentioned above: higher performance, power management and/or reliable operation. In all these cases, our invention advocates modifications in the Network Interface (NI) of the affected components to provide effective solutions.
The aim of the present invention is to propose a method to provide reliability, power management and load balancing support for multicore systems based on Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) as well as a way to efficiently implement architectural support for this method by introducing complex packet handling mechanisms achieved by modifying the basic network interfaces attached to the cores of multicore computation systems. The present invention provides also a solution in interrupt-based support in NoCs for multicore computation systems against transient failures or other system-level issues while the system is executing a certain application. It also proposes policies to leverage the proposed hardware extensions.
This aim is achieved thanks to a method to manage the load of peripheral elements within a multicore system, said multicore system comprising several processing units accessing peripheral elements through a Network on Chip (NoC), each processing unit and peripheral element attached to a Network Interface in charge of formatting and driving the packets sent to or received from the Network on Chip, wherein, while considering at least two peripheral elements having a similar function, the Network Interface dedicated to a first peripheral element reroutes the incoming packets to a second Network Interface dedicated to a second peripheral element.
The present invention will be better understood thanks to the attached figures in which:
(2 a) Plain target Network Interface architecture.
(2 b) Extended target Network Interface architecture.
(3 a) Normal operation
(3 b) First phase of recovery for failures
(3 c) Final operation mode after recovery from permanent failures
(3 d) Operation mode while a transient failure is pending
The reference multicore computation system architecture that we consider is composed (
A typical NoC is built around three main conceptual blocks: NETWORK INTERFACES (NIS), SWITCHES (also called routers) and LINKS. Network interfaces perform protocol conversion from the native pinout of system cores to NoC packets, or vice versa; switches deliver packets to their recipients; and finally, links connect the previous blocks to each other.
In a multicore system, some peripheral elements could be permanently or temporarily in a state of either activity or inactivity. Assuming for example that the active state is the normal mode of operation, a peripheral element may become inactive for example upon a (permanent or temporary) failure, or upon a power off event (allowing for energy savings). Peripheral elements may transition back to the active state if the temporary failure is resolved, or if the power supply is resumed. Additional conditions could drive the transition among the active and inactive states.
Complex Packet Handling and its Applications
In the present application, we propose extensions to the hardware of the NoC to support sophisticated handling of packets, namely, we present modifications of the basic NI modules.
The simplest, and most commonly used, packet flow in a NoC is as follows.
The elements attached to the NoC are either "initiators" (processing units i.e. active) or "targets" (peripheral elements i.e. passive); for instance, a typical initiator is a processor, whereas a usual target is a memory.
Moreover, some devices may be both initiators and targets, such as Direct Memory Access (DMA) blocks or I/O controllers. In the system, initiators are the only components which are allowed to initiate a communication; to this end, they send a packet ("request") to a system target. The target then may or may not issue a reply packet ("response"). For instance, a request by an initiator to load data will mandatorily trigger a response, while a request to store data typically will not. In addition, note that targets send packets only upon requests and only to the initiators who had queried them.
In a NoC, packets are delivered among initiators and targets along "routes" across the network. The routes that packets should follow are normally chosen at design time and physically stored on chip in memory elements called "routing tables". Routing tables contain a list of destination peripheral elements and of routes to reach them from the current location in the network. They can be part of NoC switches, but more often they are a part of each NI. For example, the routing table at an initiator NI will typically contain routes to all target peripheral elements towards which communication is needed, and vice versa, the routing table at a target NI will typically contain routes to all processing units towards which communication is needed.
We propose NoC modifications to extend this paradigm, while keeping the hardware overhead low. Our scheme does not require modifications to the switches and links of the NoC; only the NIs are extended to support the enhanced functionality. The main idea relies on the exploitation of the presence of multiple (identical or similar) instances of the same type of peripheral element attached directly to the NoC. In the following, we will collectively refer to these as a "pool" of cores.
For instance, a pool can consist of a set of accelerators, a set of memories, etc.
This arrangement is a very common property of multicore computation systems, either to comply with performance requirements or to improve reliability via redundancy.
As a consequence, in the present application, the routing tables of at least some of the NIs in the NoC are extended with a new memory element, or are made larger, such that they can also store routes to alternate peripheral elements. The extended routing tables contain a list of all possible alternate peripheral elements and the routes to send packets to each of them.
The extended routing tables can be instantiated either at the initiator NI or at the target NI. In the first case, packets can directly carry information describing multiple possible routes to multiple possible destinations, so that it becomes possible to send them to any of these. In the second case, packets reaching a target NI can be re-injected in the network by the target NI with a modified route to a new destination.
The extended routing tables can be populated at design time, since the number and position of the alternate peripheral elements does not change. Thanks to this and other proposed extensions (see Section "Hardware Extensions to Support Complex Packet Handling"), NIs acquire the capability of redirecting packets towards alternate peripheral elements in the pool. This capability can be exploited to achieve the following:
The extensions we propose are outlined in Section 4, while a more detailed description of some of the aforementioned possible uses is provided in Section 5.
Hardware Extensions to Support Complex Packet Handling
In the target Network Interface we implement the necessary extra logic to make possible one or more of the following actions:
Diverting some or all incoming packets to another peripheral element, attached elsewhere to the NoC. The incoming packets are received, partially modified by modifying at least their field which specifies the destination or route, and injected again into the network. The updated destination or route field can come either from an extended routing table in the target NI, or be directly contained in the incoming packet as an alternative to the current destination (which is the present target NI). In addition to the field of the incoming packet specifying its destination or route, other fields can be modified before reinjection into the network, for example to tag the packet as having been rerouted. In this action, the local peripheral element, attached to the Network Interface, does not receive the original packets, only the alternate peripheral element does receive and process them. This structure supports the processing of transactions even if the local peripheral element attached to the Network Interface is inactive for any reason, such as being turned off to save power, or having experienced a failure.
Forwarding a copy of some or all incoming packets to another peripheral element, attached elsewhere to the NoC. This action is similar to the action above and it can feature the same capabilities, but with the difference that the local peripheral element still receives the original packets. This is especially useful, for example, for request packets that modify the internal state of the local peripheral element (e.g. in case of a memory, the write requests), because it enables keeping the two peripheral element in a consistent state.
Sending status information to one or more initiators or targets, even without having received a direct request in the first place. This information is carried through packets that can be called "interrupt" packets. Interrupts are widely used in computing and have several uses; we are however not aware of any specific implementation to carry interrupts across a NoC. We focus on the delivery of such interrupts to notify changes of state, such as from active to inactive (e.g. due to power being switched off, or upon occurrence of a failure) and vice versa (e.g. due to power being switched on, or upon successful completion of a self-test routine). Interrupts could also convey information about the current load experienced by the target.
Receiving and processing incoming interrupt messages. This modification can be used to keep up-to-date information on whether peripheral elements in a pool are active or inactive, for example due to power management or hardware failures, or on their current load.
An example picture representing some of the extensions possible inside of a target NI is shown in
In the initiator Network Interface we implement additional logic that allows for one or more of the following actions:
Appending extra information within the request packets. This extension can be used to flag packets which require or tolerate special routing treatment. Thus, the receiving target Network Interface can more easily dispatch the packets. Request packets can also contain multiple destination or route fields, coming from an extended routing table and specifying multiple destinations within a pool of alternate peripheral elements, so that the receiving target Network Interface can more easily dispatch the packets.
Detecting the sender of response packets, by checking a special SourceID field in the header of such packets. This architectural modification can be used to detect whether a request packet received a response from the intended peripheral element, or from another peripheral element attached to the NoC.
Receiving and processing incoming interrupt messages. This modification can be used to keep up-to-date information on whether peripheral elements in a pool are active or inactive, for example due to power management or hardware failures, or on their current load.
Switching among multiple alternate entries in its routing tables to choose where to direct some of its requests. This modification allows to pick any of the peripheral elements in a pool as recipients for the transactions.
Performance Improvement: Load Balancing
The invention can be used to improve the system performance by balancing the workload among the peripheral elements available within a pool. Let us assume that Device A and Device B are twin coprocessors. If excessive load is detected at Device A, the NI attached to Device A can divert (reroute) incoming request packets to Device B, reducing the load on Device A.
Optionally, the initiator NIs in the multicore computation system, upon detecting that requests to Device A received answers from Device B, can leverage secondary entries in their internal routing tables to directly send transactions to Device B. This optional behavior increases performance further, by reducing the number of hops that requests have to go through to reach the final destination (i.e. Device B).
Another possible extension is the use of interrupt packets to notify initiators of the load of Device A and Device B, or to let the Devices exchange information about their loads. Additional support at the software level may in this case be envisioned.
Load Balancing Policies
The sensing of the current load may e.g. happen within Device A itself, within the NI attached to Device A, or within dedicated monitoring logic. A possible metric may be the activity of the Device (if measured within Device A), the amount of incoming packets per time window (if measured within the attached NI), or the global load on the peripheral element pool (if measured by a centralized component). The rerouting may happen when some load threshold is trespassed, and may involve only a certain percentage of the incoming packets, or be based on time slots where no requests are accepted at all.
To provide proper balancing, a priority chain may be established; in an example with four devices (Device A to D), Device A may always redirect its excess load to Device B, which in turn may resort to Device C, which in turn may resort to Device D, and from here back to Device A ("daisy chain"). As a possible alternative, devices may be arranged in pairs to absorb load spikes. To prevent endless loops (live-locks), where packets are always rerouted and never processed, the rerouted packets may carry a flag to avoid being further rerouted. As a different option, Device A may be outright redirecting its excess load to all of the Devices B to D ("broadcast"), some of which will accept the additional load.
The alternate peripheral elements in the pool may be identical or not. For example, a request may be preferentially directed to a specifically tailored accelerator (Device A), which is optimally suited for the task. The alternate device (Device B) may be a more general-purpose component, maybe serving as an alternate processing resource for several different tasks, and therefore less efficient at the task at hand.
The rerouting may in this case still happen, but thresholds and policies may be adjusted to favor the most suitable peripheral element in the pool.
System initiators may try to natively balance the system load, i.e. by explicitly accessing all the Devices with equal frequency. This behavior can either be achieved in hardware or dictated by the software. However, the success of this strategy is limited by the lack of knowledge of what other system initiators are doing, resulting in unbalanced traffic over given time windows. The support for load balancing within the NoC helps in absorbing such load peaks, resulting in better overall performance. The system initiators may always send requests to a single device in the pool, and let the NoC smooth the load by itself.
System initiators may be instructed to assist the load balancing strategies through an interrupt mechanism. In this case, they would be aware of the current load level of all peripheral elements in the pool. Hence, they would be able to direct traffic in a better way to each specific peripheral element according to the current peripheral element situation. Alternatively, the same information could be shared among the peripheral elements in the pool by sending interrupts to each other. This is not a requirement, but enables the development of additional flexible load balancing policies at the software/application level.
All the discussed policies can be readily implemented given the hardware facilities discussed above.
Power Management Powering Devices on and Off
Upon varying load conditions, if a pool of parallel peripheral elements is available, it is desirable to power on and off some of the devices over time to minimize the energy drain.
As an example, let us assume that a processor is leveraging two coprocessors (Device A and Device B) to achieve better performance. However, the peak load occurs only rarely, while the average one is less than 50% of the peak. In this case, the initiator NI attached to the processor could be configured to send requests to both coprocessors. However, upon detection of low load, Device A could be completely powered off. Its NI would then redirect transactions to Device B, therefore guaranteeing proper processing while still saving power. This is more effective than simply turning Device A on and off repeatedly, as it incurs a lower performance overhead while maximizing power savings and reliability.
Efficiency can be increased even more by optionally leveraging functionality in the initiator. When the initiator detects that all transactions are actually being handled by Device B, latency can be saved by querying Device B directly. This is achieved by querying secondary routing table entries that have been added to the basic initiator NI.
Power Management Policies
The sensing of the current load may e.g. happen within Device A itself, within the NI attached to Device A, or within dedicated monitoring logic. A possible metric may be the activity of the Device (if measured within Device A), the amount of incoming packets per time window (if measured within the attached NI), or the global load on the peripheral element pool (if measured by a centralized component).
Power management strategies could be based on centralized knowledge, where a global module is aware of the whole system behavior and takes system-wide decisions, which are then broadcast to all the peripheral elements. However, such modules may be complex to design, also because it is not always practical to inform every system module about the power state of all the others. While still leaving this possibility open, the NoC extensions we propose also enable local decisions to be taken.
Another issue is that powering a device on and off may imply a time overhead, and doing it too often may affect the reliability of the device as well. Therefore, while a device could be turned on and off on-demand, it would be desirable to provide a facility to limit the frequency of the power management events. This unfortunately is not easily achievable in a multi-processor system, where several initiators may be accessing the same devices simultaneously. Our extensions provide a transparent handling of the power states, possibly removing the need for higher-level protocols to constrain the frequency of the switching events.
As an example, Device A may spontaneously decide to turn itself off when the detected load is below a certain threshold, letting its associated NI reroute all the incoming traffic to another peripheral element in the pool. Then, Device A may turn on again only when the incoming traffic trespasses another threshold, indicating that its computational help is required again. The thresholds can be set in such a way that the power state transitions happen with optimal frequency to maximize reliability of the component, and they may even be tuned at runtime by predictive algorithms.
The existence of the latter threshold also provides one of the possible solutions to the problem where all the devices in the pool may try to turn themselves off, leaving no resource available for the actual processing.
Many of the considerations in Section "Load Balancing Policies" still apply in this context. All the discussed policies can be implemented by only relying on the hardware facilities discussed in Section "Hardware Extensions to Support Complex Packet Handling".
Reliable Operation Handling Permanent and Transient Faults
In this case, let us take an example where the NoC connects a Processor to two memories, called Main Memory and Backup Memory. During normal operation, requests by the Processor are sent to the Main Memory. The NI attached to the Main Memory keeps the Backup Memory in sync by forwarding all write transactions, such that the contents of the two are always the same (albeit potentially after a short delay). Upon a permanent failure, all traffic requests (including read requests) are diverted to the Backup Memory with an unchanged SourceID field. Therefore, the Backup Memory directly replies to the Processor and the failure is transparently handled.
A schematic depiction of some relevant packet routing conditions is presented in
Efficiency can be increased even more by optionally leveraging functionality in the initiator. In this case, when the initiator detects that responses to transactions are coming from the Backup Memory, latency can be saved by querying the Backup Memory directly. This is achieved by querying secondary routing table entries that have been added at design time to the initiator NIs.
The case of transient failures is a bit different, namely, the memory is supposed to be able to recover from the failure at a certain (unpredictable) moment in the future. An example of this type of failure could be a condition of overheating, which induces faults; the faults disappear if the device cools down at a later point in time. At the time of the failure, the recovery mechanism is the same outlined above, namely, all transactions are rerouted to the Backup Memory. It is important to note that a side effect is that the Backup Memory and the Main Memory contents begin to diverge at this point, with the Backup Memory being the most up-to-date. If a thermal probe subsequently notifies that the temporary failure has been recovered from, an interrupt should be sent to the Processor. The interrupt handling routine may choose how to best respond to restore system operation, as exemplified below.
Fault Handling Policies
The sensing of failures may e.g. happen within the Memory itself, within the NI attached to the Memory, or within dedicated monitoring logic. The sensing may be based on error detection codes, such as Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) codes, or on the analysis of operating parameters, like results obtained via temperature sensing, coupled with fault occurrence models.
One possible efficient embodiment of the proposed scheme is based on the presence of large, fast Main Memories coupled with slower, more reliable Backup Memories. In this case, the Backup Memories would provide a very dependable replacement for the faulty Main Memories upon errors, while limiting the power consumption of the architecture under normal operation.
The size of the Backup Memories could also be trimmed down for a large class of applications, such as multimedia, for which only some data structures are really key for proper computation, while most of the input data can be affected by some errors without a large impact on the user-perceived quality of the results (e.g. few blurred or black pixels on the user screen). In this type of applications with very limited fundamental data, the initiator NIs may be programmed to only flag the relevant critical transactions for backup storage, exploiting the extensions in the header format introduced in Section 4, and increasing significantly the efficient utilization of Backup Memories (e.g. one Backup Memory can be used to store the critical data of several input streams due to their small size).
Several schemes can be used to recover from transient failures using interrupts, which can signal the return to normal functionality of a temporarily faulty Memory to the Processors. A first possible scheme in this case is that the data in the Backup Memory could be immediately copied back to the Main Memory, at which point the system operation could be resumed in a normal way. A second feasible scheme would be the continuation of the processing directly on the Backup Memory. In a third possible scheme, processing could continue on the Backup Memory until some checkpoint is reached. This checkpoint could represent a program condition upon which most or all the data in memory could be discarded. Hence, the remaining small relevant portions of data, if any, could more efficiently copied back to the Main Memory, or simply new input data (e.g. new image frames) could be fetched from an external device, such as a video camera, directly into the Main Memory to replace the old data.
Many of the considerations in Section "Load Balancing Policies" still apply in this context. All the discussed policies can be implemented by only relying on the hardware facilities discussed in Section "Hardware Extensions to Support Complex Packet Handling".

Rising hospice care concerns?
Submitted: 02/19/2014
Story By Kalia Baker
- By 2015, 3 out of 10 people in Wisconsin will be considered part of the aging population.
But the issue of whether or not hospice facilities are draining Medicare for a profit is a nationwide issue.
"When those articles came out, those national articles, we were upset and hurt," said Leslie Schmidt, admissions coordinator at Seasons of Life Hospice Care. Unfortunately, our agency gets lumped into and we are very proud of what we do here at Ministry [Health Care]."
Schmidt is talking about a recent Wsshington Post article that states, "the number of "hospice survivors" in the United States has risen dramatically, in part because hospice companies earn more by recruiting patients who aren't actually dying."
Schmidt believes that accusation spoils the benefit of hospice care.
"It creates an inherit distrust for the services that are provided, that are legitimate, caring services that are provided by people who do good work, said Schmidt."
Some hospice patients are sent home because their Medicare benefits are revoked.
"That's why Medicare has very clearly defined guidelines of what the last six months of someone's life looks like."
Schmidt doesn't deny that Medicare fraud in the hospice care industry exists, but she doesn't want that to take away from good work that hospice care providers do.
"[Those] kinds of stories in particular are stories of interest. In that story, the people and the agencies that do good work, which are following the rules of Medicare, and other insurance programs get lost."
It's possible that the meaning of hospice is changing. Fewer people are dying in hospice care, but more people are relying on it.
"The biggest misconception is that hospice is a place that people go to at the end of life," said Melissa Salaam, who is the patience care supervisor at Ministry. Really, what it is, is the hospice teams comes to them, wherever they call home."
For registered nurse Chris Reed-Roeser, being a hospice caregiver is a dignified job to have.
"There are two things that I feel are the best part of my job. One being; that I work with an awesome group of people. I work with people who feel the same passion about end of life care as I do," said Reed-Roeser. "Secondly, going home at night and just knowing that you made a difference."

Mark Raddatz sworn in as new officer for Rhinelander Police Department
Submitted: 07/22/2016
Play Video
- Emergency first responders save lives and build trust in the community.
And now the Rhinelander Police Department has a new member to do that.
They swore in the new officer Friday morning.
Mark Raddatz and his family gathered at the Rhinelander City Hall for the ceremony.
Raddatz is excited to be in Rhinelander and to make a positive impact in the community.
"I think it's very important for people to know what we do and how involved we are with the community and how much good we do. A lot of times people don't see us doing all the behind the scenes things and good acts," said Raddatz.
Raddatz is the 17th member on the police force, making the department full again. That addition will help with involvement around town as well.
"We have the ability to do extra programming out in the community. Our officers have more time to spend building more positive relationships within the community, instead of just reacting to calls," said Police Chief Michael Steffes.
Raddatz has worked in other departments across Wisconsin and he's looking forward to being in Rhinelander.
His daughter, Abby, is happy to be a Hodag.

How camps are handling the heat
Submitted: 07/22/2016
Play Video
- During the summer months, camps look forward to welcoming campers and counselors.
They certainly don't look forward to those hot and humid days that make it hard to enjoy being outdoors.
This week, Rhinelander's Camp Birchrock has focused on keeping their campers cool all day long.
"We've been getting in the water, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Doing a lot of fun things to keep us cool," said 11-year-old Genevion Boid.
This is his first year as a camper at Birchrock.
Camp Director Johanna Sommers says the heat hasn't stopped them from doing any activities, but they do remain mindful of the sun.
"We make sure that they're drinking water all day," Sommers said. "Water bottles are a must and sunscreen, especially. We put it on every hour at least."
Luckily at the camp there's a lot of shade created by trees, giving the campers and counselors some relief from all of that heat. In a lot of areas around the camp, they also have water fountains.
In addition to keeping the campers hydrated, counselors also make sure to limit time in the sun.
"We do a little bit less of hiking and sports field activities, because the sports field is kind of open to the sun," Sommers said. "We try not to do too much out there just so they don't get overheated and over exhausted."
12-year-old Eleanor Domnick says she doesn't mind the heat. It gives her a chance to enjoy the outdoors.
"It's really fun to go swimming and just go in the play field and hang out with your friends," Domnick said.
The campers at Camp Birchrock are sure enjoying staying cool, while also having some fun.
The camp offers overnight sessions and regular day camp programs every summer.

Publisher's Description
Why do bad things happen if God is so good? The answer is within these pages.
Even When Bad Things Happen, God Is Good addresses the age-old philosophical question: Why is there tribulation in the world if God is good?
Along with other classics addressing this perplexing question such as The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis and The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwen, Dr. Leary E. Bonnett sensitively explores this very common question with the skill and spiritual experience of a person deeply committed to helping you learn to trust God in every circumstance.
Reshaping the way you think, act, and react to problems impacting your life empowers you to be in controlunder Gods grace and mercy. Everyone experiences adversity at some time along lifes journey, but when you have concrete steps showing you how to partner with God, you can unshackle yourself from the throes of troubles.
You will be inspired to live a more meaningful life, in thought and deed, and make God a personal reality in your lifestarting today!

Readers can expect to receive insights from Leary Bonnett's teaching that will embolden and stretch them in their faith journey.
Bonnett provides thought provoking, step by step. Rich and meaningful lessons and guidance on building character traits of : humility, hope, faith, patience, and love while developing spiritual discipline, and putting faith into action using examples, and principles rooted in God's Word. These lessons are authenticated by his personal life and ministry.
I was challenged by Bonnett's , Biblical authenticity, articulate communication style, his intellect, and credibility. I appreciated his careful detail in research and formatting , his descriptive word pictures, relevant examples and illustrations, and the continuity of his presentation
The thought reflection questions presented at the end of each chapter are designed to be used for personal mediation, spiritual mentoring, or as a small group discussion study guide.
"Even When Bad Things Happen, God is Good" is an excellent resource for Pastors, Counselors, and Laymen ministering to individuals and families who are facing crisis and difficult times.

Tango enables Mac-based Web servers like WebSTAR to communicate with Butler SQL, EveryWare's relational database. Although useful, the interesting part of Tango is that it combines a CGI for communicating with the Web server with a graphical editor that enables Web administrators to create Web pages quickly and without using SQL or HTML code. Tango 1.0 is bundled with Butler SQL and only works with it. The Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) version of Tango, due out in Jan-96, will support connections to databases including Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and FoxPro, running on Mac, Windows or Unix machines. The CGI is threaded and PowerPC-native for maximum performance. Butler SQL with Tango starts at $495 for a two-user license, although readers of DealBITS <firstname.lastname@example.com> pay only $247 through 30-Dec-95 (and multi-user licenses are also 50 percent off). EveryWare Development -- <email@example.com> [ACE]

Typhoon Neoguri is rapidly intensifying and will likely become a super typhoon as it moves northwest over the warm open waters of the western Pacific. Anyone in Japan and even South Korea will have to watch this storm and pay close attention to the track.
Strengthening will continue through the next couple of days as the typhoon progresses through an area of very warm ocean waters and low wind shear. This, along with being a well-defined storm already, is likely to allow this to be a very powerful typhoon.

The cyclone is expected to begin to take a more northerly track as it approaches the Ryukyu Islands and then slowly turn toward the northeast and approach southern Japan Tuesday and Wednesday.
Before starting to make a northeast turn, Neoguri is expected to start to weaken as it encounters wind shear with a cold front to the north and also some cooler waters just south of western Japan.
Japan Weather Center
Western Pacific Tropical Cyclone Center
A cold front moving into eastern Asia is expected to direct the cyclone northward and away from Taiwan. This front, if it is delayed in its progress east, may allow this storm to push close enough to South Korea to bring some stronger wind gusts, heavy rain and also large waves.
Circulation around the cyclone could also lead to a strengthening monsoon across the Philippines with flooding rainfall possible in west-central and northwest parts of the country, depending on the exact track of the storm.
No matter the exact track of Neoguri, winds over the southern Ryukyu Islands could gust past 100 mph (160 kph). Heavy rainfall of over 8 inches of rain is possible over some of the mountainous terrain of the islands. Quite large storm surge is possible over the southern islands with some locations near the center of the storm seeing a threat for storm surge of over 20 feet (6 meter).
Closer to Tokyo, the effects of the storm look to be a threat for heavy rain gusty winds for a time late in the week with Neoguri likely well to the north over the Sea of Japan.
Meteorologists Alan Reppert and Dave Samuhel contributed to the content of this story.
Rounds of drenching showers and thunderstorms will heighten the risk of flash flooding across the northeastern United States through the final weekend of July.
Summer calls for extra precautions when spending time outdoors, including taking proactive measures against mosquitos, ticks and other pests.
Drenching and locally severe thunderstorms hit portions of the mid-Atlantic on Thursday.
As July draws to a close, a storm system swinging up from the Deep South will bring downpours to the northeastern U.S. and break the back of an extended heat wave.
Rounds of showers and thunderstorms moving westward off the coast of Africa may pave the way for future tropical systems over the Atlantic Ocean in the weeks ahead.
Highs will run between 10 and 15 degrees Fahrenheit above average across much of the interior western United States into the upcoming weekend.

July 29th is historically a rainy day in Waynesburg, PA. It all began in 1878 when a farmer casually told drug store clerk William Allison that it always seemed to rain on July 29th in this southwestern PA town. The clerk made a note of it and started keeping a yearly tabulation. July 29th, 2001 was the 104th rainfall in the past 124 years on this date.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard, who sustained a season-ending concussion last January, says he is "pretty much symptom-free" and says he is aiming to play his first game in more than a year on Opening Night.
Good afternoon from Xcel Energy Center, where 18 Wild players are wearing Wild sweaters in the Wild's arena and are skating on the Wild's ice in front of me. Unofficial, yes, as management and coaches watch from the stands, but the first sign the lockout is all but over (pending ratification).
I talked on the phone this morning with Bouchard because originally there was no access to the players today. That is why I had to postpone the chat today. We will reschedule, hopefully Tuesday (I will promote if so).
Bouchard said he will sit with the Wild staff – doctors, trainers and GM Chuck Fletcher – this week to plan his point of attack for training camp. He has not been cleared to play yet because he hasn't faced the final hurdle – contact.
"My guess is training camp will be my last test," Bouchard said. "It'll be intense, I'll be able to get into physical stuff, game-like situations, but I still don't know."
But asked if it'll be pushing it to be ready by the opener, he said, "No, no, no, I I don't think it'll be pushing it. We've been taking it step by step and making sure I don't jump one. We'll see during training camp, but I feel good."
The players on the ice with skating instructor Andy Ness today are Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, Josh Harding, Niklas Backstrom, Devin Setoguchi, Jake Dowell, Nate Prosser, Matt Kassian, Matt Cullen, Justin Falk, Bouchard, Tom Gilbert, Kyle Brodzy, Clayton Stoner, Jared Spurgeon, Stephane Veilleux, Darroll Powe and Cal Clutterbuck.
Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley are expected in town Tuesday. I'd assume Zenon Konopka and Torrey Mitchell soon as well. Mikael Granlund and Marco Scandella are right now still with Houston.
More later.

Newest cross-processed series
Jul 10, 2005
These are a few of my favorites from a little street photography I attempted this morning. I'm still working on my cross-processing techinque so all these have been treated with my cross-processing action.
I'm also working on composing the picture at the site, so all these are direct from the camera, no cropping...well, almost no cropping. The one with the sleeping puma staute had to be cropped mostly because I was given a dirty look by one of the gentlemen in the background. I really wanted the picture so I took it from a little further back than I wanted too.
Comments always welcome...and I know not everyone like this cross-processed look, but kinda like it.
I think my favorite is the last one.

Understanding the Magic Wand tool
Understanding the Magic Wand tool
So far in this chapter, we've been looking at selection methods that are hand based. You are somehow interacting with the image to follow an edge, for example, in order to describe that area of the screen. What we're going to look at now is the Magic Wand tool. It is different. It's not something that you draw with. It is actually something that you wave over an area and magically, which is where it gets its name, selects a specific area of an image. And in this image I'm going to select the decking in this image so that I can change its quality a bit, probably in its density, its brightness, or its color.
And once we get it selected we can try as many things as we want really. So, let's go through the first step of capturing just this area of the image. And you can see this is not something that you would want to try to follow along and completely select by hand. It would be really laborious. So the Magic Wand is definitely better suited to this type of capture. And fi...

I cannot say enough good things about this travel potty. So convenient and easy while folds up compact for storage. Makes road trips so much more convenient and no more nasty public restroom searches. This is a must have once a child is potty trained!

This item is a must have for any toddler/small child. The ability to fold and fit under my seat was invaluable and I love the storage compartment on the side to hold extra bags. Since my toddler is new to potty on the go I left the potty set up in the back floor board of the car - PERFECT FIT! I wish is was a little more stable but none the less it holds her (25lb) just fine. Other potty seat sit much lower to the ground, but this is like a small seat. Excellent value for on the go.

Good thing that it is designed specifically for little girls, looks comfortable and great to be using it later as a step stool. I haven't used it yet as the baby is too young but it is just what I've been looking for in a potty.
