This isn't an all or nothing exercise. If a few big projects sign on, then we've made a net win. Since I already know the kernel can use this, and of course I'm relatively certain every InfiniBand package, including all of the still active MPI stacks, will agree to it, and Colin is bringing up Gnome....really, how much more do you need to think it would be worthwhile? Personally, I'm sold even if only the mentioned packages take us up on it. -- Doug Ledford <dledford redhat com> GPG KeyID: CFBFF194 http://people.redhat.com/dledford Infiniband specific RPMs available at http://people.redhat.com/dledford/Infiniband

You may have noticed that in the span on one month the patterns&practices group (p&p) released three software factories.
If you take a look at the three factories you will find that they are quire similar in the way they are structured, documented and built. But upon closer inspection you will also find that they are not strictly derived from the same software factory template (called software factory schema, see Jezz's blog for a summary).
This is going to change for the better moving forward. A few of us at Microsoft have joined forces to work on a common schema and the Visual Studio factory authoring tools. The group now includes Jack Greenfield, who started it all :-), Tom Hollander, who had his fingers in the two out of three p&p factories, Mauro Regio, who led the development of the HL7 software factory , Jezz Santos mentioned already, Steve Cook and Stuart Kent who gave us the DSL tools, and your's truly, an accomplice to many of the above crimes.
I am hoping we will be able to share the early results of our work with the community soon. If you are interested in contributing please ping us.

Plantex ® from DuPont
Landscape fabric Plantex ® by DuPont is a non-chemical weed barrier that lets soil and plants breathe while stopping weeds growing up from below.
Plantex® is the original landscape fabric for weed control. It was the first product to be endorsed by Kew Gardens, and is used by many professional landscapers. The unique structure allows air, water and nutrients through to the soil and plant root. Plantex® effectively supresses weeds.
Plantex ® Landscape Fabric The Non-Chemical Weed Control
There is no need for chemical-based weed killers when Plantex® provides long lasting, highly effective weed control that is environmentally friendly and keeps weeds underground.
Ideal for use in hard and soft landscaping applications, Plantex® landscape fabric helps you maintain weed free gardens, lawns, paths, patios, block paved drives and artificial turf.
Plantex® weed control is specifically designed for landscaping and has a proven 30 year history.
Frequently asked questions
Which way up do I lay DuPont™ Plantex®?
Any way. DuPont™ Plantex® can even be laid vertically to stop weeds penetrating from next door.
Can I feed my plants through DuPont™ Plantex®?
Yes. Liquid feed will pass straight through. The nutrients in solid feed will also leach through over a short time, therefore providing a more controlled feed.
Can I lay DuPont™ Plantex® around existing beds?
Yes. Although slightly more fiddly than a new bed, DuPont™ Plantex® can be cut around the base of your plants. Remember to allow a 100mm overlap.
How long will DuPont™ Plantex® last?
When covered with the correct depth of mulch, DuPont™ Plantex® will last for over 25 years. If used uncovered or with insufficient cover the ultra violet rays in sunlight will weaken the tensile strength of DuPont™ Plantex®.
Can I walk on DuPont™ Plantex®?
Yes. DuPont™ Plantex® is used under footpaths in many public parks. It is also used under golf bunkers and turfed sports surfaces.
Will DuPont™ Plantex® harm children or pets?
No. It is chemically inert. It can even be used to line pond plant baskets and as a filter layer in fish tanks.
Will DuPont™ Plantex® stop all weeds?
There are a few weeds that need special attention. With sharp pointed grasses like couch it is advisable to double the amount of mulch cover (e.g. bark use 100mm). If you wish, you can spray the area first with a glyphosate-based weed killer.
Ground creeping weeds like bindweed and ground elder will not penetrate DuPont™ Plantex®. However, where you have ground creeping weeds make sure the edges of the DuPont™ Plantex® are buried at least 100mm into the ground around the edge of the bed.
One weed we all fear is Mare's tail. For this we recommend a hand full of lime placed around the infected area, then use two layers of DuPont™ Plantex® topped up with a double thickness of mulch. We have had an 85% success rate with this weed, but no guarantees!
What do I need to do to prepare the ground before laying Plantex®?
Plantex works when combined with a mulch cover to suppress weeds.
Some preparation will help Plantex work harder for you. If using gravel make sure it is washed and not contaminated with weed seeds.
If tough perennial weeds, bulbs or bulbils are present or if you are covering a lawn, clear the area prior to laying Plantex.
Do I need to maintain my garden after I have laid Plantex®?
If surface weeds germinate in the mulch remove by hand or with a contact weed killer before they have time to establish.

Is it possible to export the features from a map as geoJSON using an ArcGIS REST service? I'm trying to make a vector layer in OpenLayers based on the output from the map's present view based on a layer.
Not directly, no (see Sean Gillies Blog for some reasons why). To do what you're after the easiest way is to convert from ESRI JSON to geoJSON with some intermediate script/service. See the How to convert ArcGIS Server JSON to GeoJSON? question on this site for a variety of different ways to do this.
One way to publish GIS feature services is to use cartoview www.cartologic.com/cartoview the Cartoview installer will also install GeoNode on windows. After the installation you can download and install the ArcGIS feature server app to serve out Feature services. This way you will be able to serve both standard WMS and geojson as well as feature services from the same platform, which will open the door to work with openlayers or ESRI apps

Everyone is talking about who "won" E3 2012, but that's a debate I don't feel like starting today. Although, I will say this — if someone did win E3 2012 it sure wasn't Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo. For once I was actually more impressed with third party games (Ubisoft's offerings in particular). Here are Geek Revolt's top 10 games of E3 2012.
There were so many games at E3 2012 the odds of you 100% agreeing with this list are slim. So, tell us what your favorite games were.

|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (July 2015)
Doris Wells (born Doris María Buonafina; born Caripito, 28 October 1941 - died Caracas, 20 September 1988) was a Venezuelan actress, writer and producer.
Her best-known television appearances were in Campeones, La trepadora, La Hora, Historia de tres hermanas, Renzo el Gitano, Amor Salvaje, Regina Carbonell, El Mulato and La fiera. After the last of these, Wells announced her definitive retirement from soap operas and she debuted as writer and producer with the television movie Porcelana (in 1981). In 1985 she played the protagonist in the film Oriana (written by Fina Torres), which won the Golden Camera at the Cannes Film Festival. She retired from television in 1986 shortly after hosting the game show Concurso millonario.[1]
Personal life & death[edit]
She and her husband, William Risquez Iribarren, a wealthy lawyer, had three children (Marielba, Xavier and Verónica). He died suddenly in 1983. Wells died on 20 September 1988, aged 46, from a rare cancer.[2]

What are the hidden or obscure features of MooTools that every MooTools developer should be aware of?

Class Mutators
MooTools has a wonderful feature that allows you to create your own Class mutators. Eg, to add a logger for particular class methods being referenced, you can do:
and then in the Class:

Personally I don't use it very often, but it might be useful in some cases.
See this post: What does MooTools' Function.prototype.overloadSetter() do?
There are many features that one can use if you read the source code, although the official line is:
That being said, there are a few things that really can be quite useful. One of my favourites undocumented features is this:
Referenced Elements have a uid
Any element that has either being created or is passed on through a selector, gets assigned a property
How is that being used? For starters, Element Storage. It relies on the uid as the key in the

Initializing storage for an element you have created externally, eg, via
Things that are stored by the framework into Storage also include all
What can you do knowing the UIDs of elements? Well, cloning an element does NOT get the element's storage or events. You can actually write a new

MIAMI (October 14, 2013)--A 6-year-old boy has drowned in a pool on the Carnival Victory, the cruise line said Monday.
The ship was on the last leg of a four-day Caribbean cruise on Sunday when the boy drowned while at the pool area with other family members, the company said.
The ship arrived Monday morning at the Port of Miami.
The Miami-Dade Police Department identified the boy as Qwentyn Hunter of Winter Garden, Fla.
The boy was with his 10-year-old brother in the pool at the time of the drowning, authorities said.
Passengers immediately pulled the boy from the water and began CPR, but the child was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the drowning appears to have been accidental.

US retailer Play N Trade coming to UK
Despite the fact there's a GAME on every British street corner, US retailer Play N Trade "likes competition" and is planning on moving to the UK wholesale.
"GAME has a very strong presence in the UK and beyond, but I like competition," Play N Trade CEO Roger Lloyd said here. "GAME will have to adapt to Play N Trade and we will push them to new heights. Ultimately, the consumer will win out. There's no reason why, if we go in with a strong business plan and get the right people, right relationships and right distribution model, we can't come in and have the same growth as we have seen in the US."
Play N Trade is the fastest growing US high street retailer, the company claims, with over 100 stores. The first UK Play N Trade is planned to open in the second quarter of 2009.

#15756 closed Bug (invalid)
Template regression with property lookups

|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Whilst upgrading from 1.2.5 to 1.3, a colleague discovered a somewhat weird and problematic variable lookup issue in the template system. I've attempted to compress it down into a replicable test. I've tested this on Windows and Mac, both running Python 2.6 and Django 1.2.5 & 1.3
from django.template import Context, Template class A(object): name = 'A' def __init__(self, anything): ''' this is the crux of the problem? ''' pass class B(A): name = u'B' class C(B): name = u'C' out = Template('{% for c in class_list %}{{ c.name }}{% endfor %}') # this works under 1.2.5, but not 1.3 fail_list = (A, B, C) # this works under both. pass_list = (A(1), B(2), C(3)) # using classes; expected historic output u'ABC', in 1.3 returns u'' out.render(Context({'class_list': fail_list})) # using instantiated objects, always returns u'ABC' out.render(Context({'class_list': pass_list}))
Interestingly, if the init method of the class doesn't take additional parameters (ie: remove the anything kwarg), it seems to be fine. I have absolutely no clue about the inner workings of the template compiler, but I'm presuming it does some sort of clever variable resolution that's changed in this edge case.
Symptomatic of my ignorance of the templating voodoo is that I don't really know how to summarise the problem, so the title may be better expressed, and I may have missed pre-existing tickets for the same thing.

Dallas Hickey, 51, formerly of Northland, died when his

of the crash," Snr Sgt Aben said.
Mr Hickey worked for Hawke Equipment Ltd, a sub-contractor to
Seymours Transport Services from Opotiki.
He had only just started with the company.

Blind cave fish are capable of sensing flows and movements of nearby objects even in dark and murky water conditions with the help of arrays of pressure-gradient sensors present on their bodies called lateral-lines. To emulate this functionality of lateral-lines for autonomous underwater vehicles, an array of polymer MEMS pressure sensors have been developed that can transduce underwater pressure variations generated by moving objects. Individual sensors are fabricated using liquid crystal polymer as a membrane material, which gives high robustness and reliability, and higher sensitivity compared with its silicon counterparts. The individual sensor in the array achieves a sensitivity of 90 mV/(m/s) with a high resolution of 25 mm/s. The underwater object detection capability of the array is demonstrated through proof-of-concept experiments. The array is capable of determining the velocity and distinguishing various distances of an underwater stimulus with high accuracy and repeatability.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Troy senior guard Joanna Harden has been named a finalist for the 2014 Nancy Lieberman Award. Harden, who is fourth in the nation averaging 25.4 points per game, was on the award's watch list in January.
The Nancy Lieberman Award recognizes the top point guard in women's NCAA Division I college basketball and is awarded by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Candidates exhibit the floor leadership, play-making and ball-handling skills of Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman.
Harden, a Pompano Beach, Fla., native is one of 22 finalists, and the only from the Sun Belt Conference. Her scoring average leads the league by nearly 7.0 points over second place (18.6 ppg).
The 5-foot-7 guard has scored 20-plus points in 21 games this season, including in 11 straight. She is just two days removed from breaking the Troy single-season scoring record, a mark that had stood since 1989-90. Harden has also eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for her career, becoming the 20th player in Troy history to do so, but just the third to do it in two seasons.
Harden's current 25.4 season scoring average would set the Troy record and make her just the fifth player in the 32-year history of the Sun Belt Conference to average 25-plus in a season. In addition, her 19.8 career scoring average would be the second best in school history.
Harden set a Troy and Sun Belt record 52 points against Alabama-Huntsville earlier this season. The 52 points are still the most scored in the nation this season, across all divisions. In Troy's Division I history (1993-present), a player has scored 40-plus in a game just three times with two of those occurrences coming from Harden this season.
The Hall of Fame appointed a premier Selection Committee made up of top college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers to review the candidates. The list will be narrowed down to a final five by March and the winner will be announced during Final Four weekend activities.
Previous winners of the Nancy Lieberman Award include last year's recipient Skylar Diggins (Notre Dame), Sue Bird (Connecticut), Diana Taurasi (Connecticut) and Temeka Johnson (LSU) among others.
Harden and the Trojans return to the floor on Wednesday when they host UALR at Trojan Arena at 7 p.m.

Outsourcing - What Country has the Cheapest Labor?
by The Oilman Posted: 04/29/2009
I was jut wondering where the US dollar is worth the most in other countries?#internet marketing #cheapest #country #labor #outsourcing
Or -- in other words, which country has the cheapest labor.
Are those two sentences the same or different? I dont know.
Or -- in other words, which country has the cheapest labor.
Are those two sentences the same or different? I dont know.
- ChrisJamesGhmmm...labour for what (if you don't mind saying). This one might need to be questioned ethically...
- Cacklewell, you might be able to get cheap work in countries where their English isn't great - and you'll have many more communication issues which will end up costing you more time and probably money in the long run. So, I don't know about going for the cheapest is necessarily the smartest. Where you can get a lot of bang for your buck though...are places like the Phillipines and
sometimes India, though I've noticed a dramatic increase in prices lately.
- hangtimeninoI know for sure that 1US$ in Vietnam, is somewhere around 17,800.00 VND. and if you got a 100US$ instantly you become a millionare. :-)
- FreelanceSallyIf you want to outsource writing to someone in a third world country, good luck with that. My only advice is that you get what you pay for. Cheap price, cheap quality.
- yaskyReally depends on what you are looking to outsource. I have had some good luck with articles and blog posts with India. You have to be very picky with them and explain exactly what you want. If they don't deliver you have to fire them immediately... Keep doing that and you will find some good outsourcing people.
- cassidywilliamsI have been outsourcing from Bangladesh with great success. The standard of living (=prices) are cheaper there than India or Pakistan.
- OmarNegronnot to sure on the country...but Scriptlance has some great deals as to what I have seen.
- jamesleepro1I would recommened Bangladesh
They are good and cheap also
- J. Barry MandelI would say India has the least expensive going rates, but buyer beware.
- rika_downunderI'd support what primeoutsourcing said. Not that I have done it yet myself, but I am learning heaps about IM and Philippines has been repeatedly mentioned as the best place for outsourcing - their level of education is very high and English skills are great.
- petevampindonesia is pretty cheap over at elance but everyone there hikes everything up outragously I paid over 200 for 15 500 word post on adsense just last week then the week prior I had to pay another 1200 for a new site of mine since I look at it this way why do the work myself when i can pay someone to build it for me with out the hassles
- TheCrenI just read a post on here about outsourcing to New Zealand: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...-students.html
- Thomas
I was jut wondering where the US dollar is worth the most in other countries?
Or -- in other words, which country has the cheapest labor.
Are those two sentences the same or different? I dont know.
If you're looking to pay someone outside the U.S. to do IM-type activities for you, it would be an easier question to answer if you mentioned what country they are in?
In much of Europe, a dollar will buy you less than it would even in the U.S. but in, say, Sub-Saharan Africa, it might buy you an amount of goods or services that might cost $10 or $20 or even more in the U.S.
The best answer is: it depends.
- edpudol1973Well I guess Philippines is one of the best and cheapest place to outsource
- Ciaran DoyleI definitely agree that the Philippines is probably your best bet. Try searching for people to actually work for you instead of just hiring them from elance or RAC.
Look on actual Philippines job boards.
Hope this helps
- tyroneshumHi everyone,
I think the question to ask is what is the best value of labour for your money?
Cause as people have pointed out, there are going to be cheap labour throughout the world, India, China, Philippines and so forth.
In my personal experience I've personally been only hiring from the Philippines and it's because yes their labour is cheaper in comparison to 1st world countries, but their ethics, loyalty and their English, especially is of high value. Which means that the work is done properly and on time.
I've been able to hire full-time staff for $250 per month as well and they do an exceptional job. Though I know you can hire people for less from India, but from personal experience, the work has not been of the same standard.
In saying this, I recommend seeking people in the Philippines and finding people with good English verbal and written skills. With this you should get good value out of your money and in return great work completed.
- uniquecontentI think Philippenes
- uniquecontentI think Philippenes has least.

What is the most efficient way to determine if exactly two elements in a list are the same? For example:
>>> has1dup(["one", "one", "two"])
>>> has1dup(["one", "two", "three"])
>>> has1dup(["one", "one", "one"])
I have successfully done this using if/else statements. However, if the list were larger, the task of writing out each possibility for a pair would become very difficult and time consuming. Is there a faster/simpler way to accomplish this?
Here is what I have tried:
def has1dup(lst):
if lst[0] == lst[1] and lst[1] != lst[2]:

Brown Makes Pitch for Greener Australia After Aug. 21 Vote
Australia's Greens party would raise the government's proposed levy on coal and iron ore profits and push for a carbon tax if voters give the group more power in this weekend's election, party leader Senator Bob Brown said.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is "under the thumb of the coal industry," Brown said at the National Press Club in Canberra today. "We will move very strongly to get an extra A$2 billion ($1.8 billion) from the mining tax" when laws are introduced next year, he added.
Opinion surveys suggest the Greens could add to their five seats in the 76-member Senate, giving them a chance to block or amend laws, as voters look for action on reducing emissions. Support for Gillard's Labor party fell after it shelved carbon- trading plans in April and it is virtually tied with the opposition in polls ahead of the Aug. 21 vote.
Climate change "has to be tackled," Brown said, proposing an A$23 per ton price on carbon in a nation where 80 percent of power generated comes from coal-fired plants. "It will be a carbon price on polluters, not voters" with the revenue used to "cushion" consumers against rising electricity prices, he added.
Support for the Greens has almost doubled since the 2007 election, with 14 percent of voters listing it as their first choice, according to the Newspoll published in the Australian newspaper on Aug. 16. The telephone survey of 1,694 voters from Aug. 13-15 had a 2.4 percentage-point margin of error.
Voters Split
Voters are almost evenly split between Gillard's government and Tony Abbott's Liberal-National coalition in the contest to control the 150-member House of Representatives where a majority is needed to form a government. Neither party holds a majority in the Senate.
The tightness of the race raises the possibility that neither major party will win the 76 seats needed to control the lower house, adding to the risk of policy gridlock as the Greens and up to four independent lawmakers vie for influence. Brown said today his party would not block budget measures in parliament and would negotiate on other legislation.
The Labor Party led the coalition by 52 percent to 48 percent in the Newspoll survey when voters were asked to chose between the two major parties, while a Galaxy poll in the Sunday Telegraph on Aug. 15 gave Abbott's group a narrow lead.
The Greens want to cut Australia's emissions by 40 percent by 2020, while Labor and the coalition pledge a 5 percent cut, and seek 100 percent use of renewable energy by 2050.
Mining Tax
Brown supports higher taxes on mining, after Gillard clinched a compromise deal with BHP Billiton Ltd., Rio Tinto Group and Xstrata Plc to water down a plan that would have imposed a 40 percent levy on resources in the world's biggest shipper of iron ore, coal and alumina.
The Greens leader wants revenue from the planned 30 percent levy on iron ore and coal, projected by Labor at A$10.5 billion for the two years from mid-2012, to be put in a sovereign fund to pay for infrastructure such as fast-rail on the nation's east coast and to boost funding for government schools.
The Greens won't block the tax, even if Labor rejects their demands, Brown said.
Gillard plans to set up a citizens' group of "ordinary Australians" to help decide over a one-year period on a course of action to reduce greenhouse gases, delaying laws on carbon trading that would have to pass the lower house and the Senate.

From Integritech: If you ve ever been disconnected from your broadband ISP for no apparent reason, while you were at work, trying to logon, or vice versa, or any other situation, this program is for you. Keep Conn verifies if you are connected at intervals you specify. If you re not, Keep Conn will kill you re ISP s executable which is in memory in order to re-execute it and reconnect. Keep Conn has special code to kill this process even though ""Access is Denied"". Keep Conn is driven by the Windows Task scheduler, so no program stays in memory. Also this helps when there is a power failure, Keep Conn will still try to connect from the Windows Logon screen. Once reconnected, Keep Conn will execute programs of your choice, which are configured in the Keep Conn Setup. These can be used to send your new IP somewhere, if applicable, continue downloads, or whatever else suits your needs.

Why is it wrong to say this sentence and what grammar rules are broken
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If someone told you that
is wrong, the only possible reason is that that someone believes you should have said either:
The string "I forgot my homework at home" is ambiguous. When you were at home and supposed to be doing your homework, did you forget that you had homework to do? If so, then you should say:
The problem is one of semantics, not grammar. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
However, most native speakers would understand your sentence to mean that you were claiming two things:
The verb forget does not take an indirect object marked by at, whereas leave may.
So, in
the at home phrase is an argument of the verb, specifying its meaning. whereas in
it is not, and can only be an adjunct: specifying where the action took place, not being part of the meaning of the action. Furthermore, forget in the special sense of leave behind (as opposed to forget about) is not really compatible with such a locational phrase.
As Frustratedwithformsdesigner says, the second sentence is understandable in context, but it is not something that a native speaker would say, except in the rather unusual meaning where at home is an adjunct; something like
For your meaning, either
When I look at this, the way I see it as being wrong is that you left out the word "that": "I'm afraid that I forgot my homework at home."
Without the "that," you technically have two complete sentences: "I'm afraid." "I forgot my homework at home." This is technically a run-on.
Although, in informal English, I'd say this is fine.

I'm pleased that there are suggestions for using this tool printed on the label of the package. That means that I can put the label in a convenient spot for reference when I am sewing. It is nicely made and very versatile. The package bottom had been slit open when the tool arrived and it was loose in the box with the other items that I had ordered. I wasn't very happy about that!

• Twenty-six infants and young children with acute dehydrating diarrhea associated with Campylobacter jejuni participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled therapeutic trial. Of 25 patients who completed the study, 11 were treated for five days with oral erythromycin ethylsuccinate (40 mg/kg/day in divided doses), and the rest received matched placebo. Although erythromycin significantly shortened the duration of C jejuni excretion, it appeared to exert no effect on the clinical course of the illness. This failure may be explained on the grounds that most patients' symptoms were resolving spontaneously when they were admitted to the trial. However, as all but eight children were infected with at least one erythromycin-resistant enteropathogen in addition to C jejuni, the clinical failure of antibiotic therapy may have been due to erythromycin's inability to eliminate these organisms.

We refer to our small groups as
Bible Fellowships.
We believe that the church is strongest when they have large group worship and teaching and small group fellowship and teaching.
The name "Bible Fellowship Groups" defines this ministry.
- We use the Bible as our source for teaching. Each group strives to motivate people to look directly into God's Word for truth.
- "Fellowship" happens in the groups. The Biblical word for fellowship emphasizes prayer, caring and sharing centered on our relationship with God.
- "Groups" indicates a select number of people who is big enough to create excitement and small enough to support openness and accountability.
To fulfill this vision we have some groups that are well-defined; similar ages or stages of life and other groups that are more loosely defined with the focus being more on the topic of study than the particular people you are with.
King's has these groups mostly on Sunday morning but many groups meet at different times throughout the week.

Davis to retire, board to continue with audit
Published: Friday, December 23, 2011 at 11:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 23, 2011 at 11:52 a.m.
Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis has said he will apply for medical retirement, prompting county commissioners to release a statement saying they "regret the events that led to this result" and will continue with a planned audit of the handling of Sheriff's Office funds.
Letter from Sheriff Davis
My fellow citizens of Henderson County. After consultation with my medical doctor, and with her concurrence and advice, I have decided to apply for a medical retirement. Until that time I will be using my accrued sick days. I expect this medical retirement to occur no later than the last day of January, 2012.
In my absence please rest assured that you can have full faith and confidence in the high level management team, as well as the rest of the men and women that are in place at the Henderson County Sheriff's Office. This competent staff will continue to work hard during these next few weeks ensuring your safety.
I also wish to thank you for your support during this trying time. The prayers, letters, cards, emails and words of kindness will never be forgotten.
Rick Davis
Davis released a letter to the Times-News and board Chairman Tommy Thompson Thursday night saying that after discussions with his doctor, he has decided to seek a medical retirement "no later than the last day of January."
Commissioners met in closed session Friday to discuss the letter and returned with a statement of their own, saying their thoughts are with Davis and his family. The commissioners still want Davis to release to the public all information regarding his role in a rumored sexual harassment claim, however, and they are not dropping the matter until the sheriff has retired.
"If we have not received confirmation of the sheriff's medical retirement by the end of January, we will again review this matter," the statement says.
If Davis does take a medical retirement, there are two possibilities for selecting his replacement. The Republican Executive Committee of Henderson County could select a replacement, who then has to be approved by county commissioners, or the county commissioners could appoint a person, according to Thompson.
As for the audit, commissioners said in their statement that they are not aware of any mishandling of funds and do not expect to find any.
"But frankly, we'd rather learn of a problem because of this audit than be surprised some other way," the statement says.
In his letter to the Times-News, Davis addresses the citizens of Henderson County.
"In my absence please rest assured that you can have full faith and confidence in the high-level management team, as well as the rest of the men and women that are in place at the Henderson County Sheriff's Office," the letter says.
"This competent staff will continue to work hard during these few weeks ensuring your safety. I also wish to thank you for your support during this trying time. The prayers, letter, cards, e-mails and words of kindness will never be forgotten."
Applying for retirement
Eddie Caldwell, with the N.C. Sheriff's Association, said Davis' medical retirement would be just like any other government retiree's.
"There are two kinds of retirement — medical or service," Caldwell said. "A service retirement is when you have put in 30 years. For a medical retirement you have to apply to the retirement division of the N.C. Department of State Treasurer in Raleigh.
"In order to get a medical retirement, you have to be determined medically unable to perform your duties. The Department of State Treasurer has a medical board to see if someone meets the requirements of the statute. The medical board will evaluate and determine if the person meets the requirements."
According to the statute, upon the application of a member or of his employer, any member who has had five or more years of creditable service may be retired by the Board of Trustees, on the first day of any calendar month, not less than one day nor more than 120 days next following the date of filing such application, on a disability retirement allowance.
The medical board must certify that the person is mentally or physically incapacitated; that the incapacity occurred during employment; that such incapacity is likely to be permanent; and that such member should be retired.
Firm hired for audit
Also Friday, County Manager Steve Wyatt requested that commissioners hire the firm Martin Starnes and Associates to handle the audit. The commissioners unanimously agreed. No timeline was given for the audit.
Anyone who has any matters they wish to address as a part of the audit can call 828-697-4842 and leave a tip either anonymously or otherwise to have a matter investigated.
Wyatt said if residents would like a response on the matter they wish to have investigated, they should not leave an anonymous tip.

The first volume of this set was reviewed in The Journal Sept. 30, 1950. Volume II, like Volume I, is clear and thorough, and it, too, contains extensive tables listing the properties of alkaloids and their derivatives and degradation products. It also is confined to the chemistry of alkaloids. Physiological and pharmacologic properties will be covered in Volume V.
Volume II has chapters on the alkaloids related to morphine, Amaryllidaceae, acridine, indole, and Erythrina, and on sinomenine and colchicine. Most of the bibliographies list publications dated 1950, but still the editors "are apprehensive... that some chapters... [were] out of date at the time of printing." Extra chapters were added on morphine alkaloids and strychnine alkaloids while the book was being printed in an effort to meet this objection. The heavy paper and strong binding of this work guarantee it a long shelf life.

Edgware scout group relaunched
August 20, 2009
To meet local demand, the 11th Edgware Scout Group is to be relaunched next month at Edgware Synagogue after a 20-year gap.
With the nearest Jewish scout group at Stanmore Synagogue consistently over-subscribed, the 11th Edgware will offer an alternative for both boys and girls. The group will be steered by a leadership team of seven adults, headed by Andrew Donn. Together, they boast over 100 years' experience in running scout groups.
"Scouting is now more popular than ever," Mr Donn said. "I am looking forward to restarting the group where I was first invested as a cub scout with a programme of challenging activities."

We have an MSA60 running from a P800 controller in an ML350 server.
The MSA60 is full so we'd like to expand by cascading another disk enclosure and I notice there is now the D2600 (6G equivalent of the MSA60).
Does anyone have any experience cascading a D2600 off an MSA60?
I appreciate that HP's quickspecs don't list this as a supported configuration and we would only get 3G speeds, but I figured it would better if we could buy into current generation technology rather than hunt down an outdated MSA60.

This is ok, but it's not the original See's fudge recipe. I got the recipe in 1962 while living in Los Angeles. It has 2 sticks butter, 4 1/2 cups sugar, 2 jar marshmallow cream, 1 can evap. milk, tablespoon vanilla, 2 cups nuts and 2 cups chocolate chips. I'm not saying this is a bad recipe, it's pretty good, but butter makes it richer.
I have never had See's fudge. All I know is that this is an easy, delicious recipe. Honestly, to the reviewer that said more butter will make it richer, I don't think I would want it to be any richer. It is plenty rich!
