AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will build on an existing 400 kilowatt binary geothermal power plant. This power plant can supply more electricity than is needed during normal business operations, and because the grid is completely isolated due to its remote location (North Pole, Alaska), there is no use for this excess power. This project will use the excess electricity which would otherwise go to waste; to generate hydrogen on a continual basis. Stranded geothermal energy is an ideal renewable resource to tap for hydrogen production due to its high availability and relatively low cost of power generation equipment. Additionally, small scale, remote hydrogen production and use in arctic climates present unique technical challenges which will be quantified and addressed as part of this project. This project will further enable the transfer of technology to native Alaskans in other rural communities in Alaska. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be the ability to significantly address the increasing cost of power generation in remote communities; such as those in Alaska. According to the Alaska Energy Authority, the cost of power generation in rural villages can approach 90 cents per kilowatt/hour (kWhr) using diesel generators, and averages 46 cents per kWhr. High fuel costs and evidence of global climate change are strong motivators for seeking alternatives to traditional generation technology, and create an opportunity for Alaska to become a leader in renewable energy and fuel storage technology. There is growing consensus about the importance of developing renewable resources for long term economic well-being in the face of declining oil production and rising fuel costs. Alaska is an energy producing and exporting state, and while today this energy is primarily derived from fossil fuels, Alaska has the resources available to transition into becoming a vital player in a future world renewable energy and hydrogen economy.

Despite its title, Star Ocean: The Last Hope serves as the prequel to the original 1996 SNES RPG. The Last Hope sets the stage for interstellar travel following the destructive aftermath of World War III, in a new calender era marking the first successful warp-drive experiment. The player joins main characters Edge Maverick and Reimi Saionji as they become part of the first expedition into outer space in search of a new homeworld for mankind. However, they soon encounter a mysterious otherworldly threat known as the "Grigori."
The Last Hope pays larger tribute to its futuristic setting compared to previous titles despite being a prequel set in the distant past of the Star Ocean timeline, allowing players to visit multiple planets by way of a spaceship which also serves as their base of operations for party members. In a throwback to previous games, players can have Edge bond with individual party members through "Private Actions", forging relationships which could have an effect on future interactions and even the ending.
Like the PlayStation-era Star Ocean titles, The Last Hope features real-time combat where players can switch between party members at any time to perform normal and special attacks against opposing enemies. Teamwork plays a greater role in The Last Hope, with party members able to launch surprise attacks on enemies targeting other members. Meanwhile party members can link physical and Symbology/Heraldry attacks together to form powerful combo attacks. As party members gain experience through combat, players can choose how to develop their abilities through one of three fighting styles each favoring offense, defence, or a mix of both.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope was originally released as an Xbox 360 title, before an enhanced PS3 port with new features and Japanese voice acting was localized a year after.
This game is also known as Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope International in Japan.

Armani, who chose complementary gray hues for the hull and the superstructure to cut down on glare, employed a Milanese architect, Giancarlo Ortelli, to execute the technical drawings for the boat.\n"On my own boat, I didn't want displays of wealth, with a lot of lamps and paintings and carpeting," says Armani. His signature Japanese-inspired aesthetic continues in the lower deck. Separating the teak planks on the floors are thin strips of ebony.\nArmani wanted versatility for both the rooms and the furnishings—the teak-clad lower deck also serves as a dining area, and the table collapses for movability. Titanium panels on the ceiling add height to the space. "I don't think elegance should be boring," he says.\nIn Armani's stateroom, a low pickled-oak bed joins shelves and compartments modeled after a Japanese chest.\nArmani and Mari's crew, decked out from head to toe in his clothing designs.\nRaffia mats cover the roof deck, furnished sparsely with wood chaise longues and side tables. "On a voyage, there shouldn't be the confusion of too many things."\nThe yacht, which first set sail this year and has been across the Mediterranean, docks in Saint-Tropez. Armani created the teak table and chairs on the dining terrace especially for the boat. The table is set with selections from the Armani Casa collection.\nA photograph on the room's desk shows him at about age six with his mother, Maria, or Mari, for whom the boat is named, on a beach in Rimini, Italy.

Established by Carolyn and Peter Lynch in 1987, the Lynch Foundation provides assistance to programs primarily in Massachusetts with an emphasis on education; culture and historic preservation; healthcare and medical research; and religious and educational efforts of the Roman Catholic Church. Carolyn Lynch is president and chief executive officer of the foundation.
The Lynch Foundation's philanthropic strategy includes viewing a gift as an investment. In choosing charities, the foundation has found that both innovative ideas and strong leadership lead to success. For example, the foundation was one of the original investors in City Year and one of the initial foundations to fund Partners in Health, the organization founded by Dr. Paul Farmer which is responsible for dramatic breakthroughs in the treatment of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis. Through organizations like RENEW International, a program in the Catholic Church that strengthens parishes by enhancing spirituality and revitalizing laity involvement in the activities of life, the foundation seeks to identify and support charitable organizations that are sustainable and have the potential to multiply and serve the largest constituencies. The founders and trustees are committed to seeing the foundation's resources used to the best advantage, awarding grants that are aligned with their mission and serve as a catalyst.
The Lynch Foundation is a private foundation managed by an executive director in conjunction with its volunteer board of trustees, president, and founders. The relationship between the Lynch Foundation and its grant recipients extends far beyond one of financial assistance. It is a partnership. The Foundation has structured its application process to allow a deep understanding of each potential grantee's mission, goals, and needs.

If You're Thinking of Living In / Bayville, N.Y.; Small Village, Large Views of the Sound
Published: May 2, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
At a small waterside strip on the west end, an amusement center offers kiddie rides, miniature golf and a batting range with pitches slow enough for duffers and young players. Among the more popular restaurants is the shorefront Pine Island Grill, with a contemporary American menu.
There are two churches, St. Gertrude's Roman Catholic Church and the Village Church, which is United Methodist.
BAYVILLE is in the Locust Valley School District, where 96 percent of the 137 graduates in the Class of 1998 went on to higher education. The most recent average S.A.T. scores were 536 in verbal and 559 in math, both well above state and national averages. Seventy percent of the graduates generally earn Regents diplomas, said Anthony L. Singe, District Superintendent.
The 2,120-student district has a 6-8 middle school that shares the high school campus. The two elementary schools are each comprised of two separate buildings for grades K-2 and grades 3-5.
Voters in the district, which also includes Locust Valley and Brookville, approved a $27 million bond in February. Dr. Singe said the money will pay for a new performing arts center and classroom renovations at the high school, a new track and gymnasium at the high school-middle school complex, more classroom computers and Internet access and computer interconnections between all schools.
At the 570-student Bayville elementary school in Bayville, an enrichment model treats all students as gifted and talented and seeks each one's strengths, said the principal, Nora Friedman. She said the program drew visitors from other school districts on Long Island and beyond.
A five-week enrichment cluster program brings together students in different grades with community mentors including the mayor and postmaster, with an emphasis on practical problem-solving. Another program is tailored to children who have shown high ability in one or more subjects.
Matinecock Indians inhabited the area at least from the 1500's, according to radiocarbon dating of a campsite found in 1974. In 1658, Daniel Whitehead bought land in the area from two Indians, Oyster Bay town records show. By 1674, the area, then known as Oak Neck and Pine Island, was divided into lots given to 23 men for pasture land. In 1752, a dirt road that much later became Bayville Avenue was in place.
Settlers increased after 1820. In 1825, when John Bell discovered the soil was ideal for growing asparagus, a new industry began and large amounts of asparagus were being shipped to New York City by 1860. Blight at the turn of the century wiped the industry out. Shellfishing, with roots in wampum-making Indian times, continues today. A company begun by William Flower in 1876 remains in business as the only oyster farm remaining in New York State and still bears the Flower name.
The name Bayville was adopted in 1859 because of water all around and the several safe harbors for cargo-carrying vessels.
In 1898 a drawbridge was completed to Mill Neck, easing travel inland. By then Bayville was home to workers and servants at neighboring Gold Coast estates. The village incorporated in 1919.
Population boomed in the 1920's, but the village was primarily a summer resort until after World War II when an evolution into a year-round area began. In more recent years change has been kept at a distance and quiet, family-centered living holds sway. ''After 8 or 9 o'clock, everything in the village basically shuts down,'' said Mr. O'Neill.

BAYVILLE 2000: A millennium celebration will begin early in Bayville with a five-kilometer run -- or, for those who prefer, walk -- through village streets on May 22. Mayor Siegel said runners will have sponsors to raise funds for One in Nine, a Long Island breast-cancer coalition. The event will also further the good health and fitness theme of Bayville's Celebration 2000. Other events later this year will include a bike-athon and ecumenical services. They culminate in a fireworks display on the village's ample shores at midnight on Dec. 31. The fireworks will be the only event on the village schedule on this century's final day, a village committee decreed. ''All our events are geared toward family togetherness,'' said Mayor Siegel. ''And the committee felt that families would want to be together and make their own plans for the rest of that day.'' Computers in village offices are programmed and ready for the clock to roll. ''We've been Y2K compliant for at least two years,'' the Mayor said. Map of Bayville, N.Y.

Virology: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis
Based on the author's experiences teaching virology for more than 35 years, Virology: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis enables readers to develop a deep understanding of fundamental virology by emphasizing principles and discussing viruses in the context of virus families. Moreover, individual virus families are examined within the context of the Baltimore classification system, a key unifying theme that allows readers to assume basic facts about the replication strategy of a virus based on the nature of its genome.
The first chapter provides an historical overview, followed by a chapter introducing the principles of animal virus classification and the Baltimore classification system. The next chapter explores the various modes of virus infection and disease. Chapter 4 then considers host defenses against microorganisms and viral countermeasures to subvert those host defenses.
Armed with a solid foundation in basic principles, readers move on to eighteen subsequent chapters, each one dedicated to a particular virus family. These chapters detail the organization of the viral genome and its pattern of expression, with additional discussions covering viral structure, entry, assembly, release, and associated medical issues.
The flow of chapters in Virology constitutes a continuous narrative in which key principles are regularly reintroduced to show how they apply in different contexts. This emphasis on principles coupled with the text's clear, straightforward writing style enables upper-level undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals to grasp core principles of virology with ease.
Key Features
- Organization by virus family within the context of the Baltimore classification system provides a strategic framework for mastering the principles of virology
- Provides a uniform organization and logical flow of chapters as well as a consistent, accessible writing style
- Highlight boxes review fundamental molecular and cellular biology, introduce pioneers in the field of virology, and address serious public policy issues
- Key unanswered and thought-provoking scientific questions encourage critical thinking
- Examples show how virology has played a role in crucial public policy decisions

The Quarterly Review of Biology
03 February 2015
A quote by Leonardo da Vinci in the front matter of this textbook perfectly sets the stage for Norkin's overview of basic virology: "Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous." Throughout the volume, the author meticulously covers different families of viruses while hammering home the common theme that viruses do not waste genetic space and that they are masterful in adapting to their hosts.
The book begins with an overview of viruses, an introduction of viral classification, and a fairly thorough description of viral disease and the interplay between viruses and their hosts. The second part covers viral replication and pathogenesis of different families of viruses. The organization of this part of the volume will likely be well received by those not familiar with virology, inthat it is nicely organized into distinct subsections for each family of viruses (structure, genome, replication). Finally, the last section, which covers HIV, oncogenes, and cancer, will likely be compelling to both undergraduates and graduate students. Throughout the book, there are highlighted sections (designated as boxes) that cover important concepts, describe the recent primary literature, and/or refer to earlier sections of the
volume that discussed similar topics. These boxes can easily be utilized to encourage students to delve into the primary literature. Overall, this is a very well-organized, readable textbook that is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students.

At a Glance
This new virology textbook covers the fundamentals of viral molecular biology, with an overall organization based on the viral families.
Key features:
Focuses on teaching students enduring concepts of virology. Includes a distinctive organization based on virus families. Emphasizes the range of adaptations viruses have evolved to solve the various problems posed by their intracellular lifestyle, concerning gene expression as well as other issues Intended for use in a semester length basic virology course at the seniorundergraduate/graduate level.
This comprehensive study of virology approaches the subject in a fundamental manner that encourages students to apply key principles in different situations.
The intent is to prepare students for the deeper study and understanding of virology principles.
The book was written for graduate students or advanced undergraduate students learning advanced virology principles. It also would be useful as a good review for advanced students. The author has spent many years designing this book and teaching virology and his experience is evident in each chapter.
A history of virology begins the book, providing an overview of the influence that viruses have had on history that is sprinkled with interesting historical stories set apart in boxes. This chapter is followed by the basics of how viral families are organized and the classification schemes, which includes how viruses are assembled and the variety of shapes viruses use. Other chapters cover the mechanisms used to infect the host cells, which leads to disease, and then how the host responds to this invasion. The remaining chapters systematically present each virus family from how they attach to target cells to how they replicate inside the host cell and then release new virions. Throughout these chapters are boxed areas of thought-provoking issues or questions that encourage students to examine the questions further. The figures and diagrams are of very high quality and demonstrate important principles that are difficult to describe in words.
This is one of the most absorbing virology textbooks I have reviewed. It is an exceptional design achievement and an extraordinary book. I feel certain that it will inspire new generations to seek further answers in this intriguing field.

Firstly, wonderful piece of software. I've signed up to SFS to add to the database.
I'm running the 3.9 beta on my buddypress install and was wondering if it is possible to turn off the activation e-mail that users are sent when they first register? Currently users are registering but the activation email is going to their spam folders mostly (the irony) and so they are unable to login.

I want to create a VBA script that would save a copy of the document every 5-10 minutes with a new name. The script would keep like 10-15 copies in the same folder, incrementing a number each time. If it reaches the max number of saves, it should delete the oldest one.
For example:
document.xlsx - Working copy.
document_b1.xlsx - First backup, done after 5 minutes.
document_b2.xlsx - Second backup, after 10 minutes.
And so on, and so on.
When this number at the end reaches 15, the script should rename the rest.
document_b15 - gets deleted.
document_b14 -> document_b15
document_b13 -> document_b14
document_b1 - new copy.
What kind of function could do the steps required?
A short list the VBA would need:
- Incrementing a valuable
- Renaming files
- Deleting file
- Saving the current document as a new file
I'm aware that the Q belongs to Stackoverflow. Regarding the programming part.
But I want to use an existing solution, rather than learning VBA from scratch.
Is there a VBA that would do this for me?

Following a 364-day absence from the Octagon due to a back injury, Thiago Silva made a triumphant return Saturday with a unanimous decision win over Brandon Vera on the main card of UFC 125 in Las Vegas.
As long as his health allows it, Silva says it was the start to what will be a very active year in 2011.
"I just want to be healthy," Silva told ESPN.com when asked what his goals are for the new year. "I would like to fight three more times. Maybe even four."
Internet headlines and Twitter comments Saturday declared in bold letters the news that "Silva is back." Prior to the win, there had been some speculation the UFC would cut the Brazilian fighter, who was stuck in a 1-2 skid dating back to January 2009.
But shortly after his dominant performance against Vera, during which he won every round on all three scorecards, Silva (15-2) said he never felt like, competitively, he had fallen off the map.
He just needed to get healthy.
"I was never out. I was never gone," Silva said. "The only thing was that I was injured. I felt good in the fight. The back was 100 percent. I was a bit worried after the year off. You always worry about that. But I put up the win and that's what matters."
Although Silva kept his words short following the win, he and his team had to be satisfied with the results after it appeared at certain times in 2010 his ability to fight at all was in jeopardy.
The 28-year-old suffered from three herniated disks at the start of last year and could barely get out of bed during the two weeks prior to his fight against Rashad Evans at UFC 108. Silva had considered pulling out of that event, but many fans will remember that as the "cursed" event, in which multiple fights fell apart due to injury.
Due to the situation, Silva didn't feel right about pulling out of the main event on late notice -- but in the future, he plans to listen to his body more.
"Ending his career actually became an option for a little bit," said Silva's manager, Eddie Miranda. "The only other options he had were to get surgery or try physical therapy and build up his strength from scratch, which is what he did. He literally had the strength of an old lady at the start of it.
"I think he's had to learn to listen to his body and be smart through all of this. Before, he was one of the guys who would train nonstop for five hours a day. During the injury, he understood that he only had one shot to get his back strong and he had to change some things."
The recovery was long but apparently very successful. Silva says his back feels stronger than ever now despite foregoing the surgery insisted upon by the first two doctors he met with.
With his "comeback" win over Vera out of the way, Silva refused to single out any specific opponent he wants to face next, although did admit he's hoping for a rematch against Lyoto Machida.
Machida knocked out Silva in the first round of their nontitle fight at UFC 94 two years ago, but has appeared vulnerable recently, dropping back-to-back fights to Mauricio Rua and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Silva said after he watched the game plans of Rua and Jackson in those fights, he believes avenging his loss to Machida would come down to one thing.
"I'd be much more patient," he said. "Of course I'd like a rematch with the guys who beat me, but that's up to the UFC. I just need to win fights."
On the other side of the equation is Vera (11-6), who now faces the prospect of being dismissed from the UFC. For the second time in as many fights, Vera was humiliated as well as beaten. In the third round, with Vera trapped against the fence, Silva began hitting him with an open palm and playing the drums on his back which gave the crowd a laugh and even earned him a 10-8 score from one of the judges.
"He spoke some bad things about me," said Silva. "In the third round, I was only trying to break his focus, that's it. But it did make the win better after the things he said."
As of late Saturday night, Vera's manager said he hadn't heard official word on his fighter's status with the UFC. Vera is 3-6 in his past nine fights.

Fabricio Werdum wants to prove his dominance over the soon-to-be-former-No. 1 heavyweight once and for all by doing it again in hostile territory, but Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker doesn't share the sentiment.
Werdum spoke to Sherdog.com about his desire for a rematch with Fedor Emelianenko:
Emelianenko lost to Werdum in 69 seconds last month at Strikeforce's show in San Jose. The result likely will shake up the next edition of the USA TODAY/SB Nation consensus rankings, which currently list Emelianenko at No. 1 and Werdum in the No. 9 slot.
Although Werdum and Emelianenko's management company, M-1 Global share a desire for a rematch, Strikeforce officials want Emelianenko to fight someone else first. Coker is scheduled to speak with M-1 this weekend about Emelianenko's next bout.
"They're pushing for Fabricio Werdum, and I just don't know if that fight makes a whole lot of sense next," Coker told Fighting Stances this week. "As we start negotiating the date and who he's fighting, I'm sure that we have a lot to work through."
Talks with M-1 historically have been an arduous process for U.S. promotions. Whether Emelianenko's loss will make things easier remains unknown, Coker said.
"What I do know is that Fabricio's already beaten Fedor," Coker said. "I think the negotiations will be very interesting. They're always very interesting with M-1. ... I think the Lost in Translation movie -- that's kind of what I feel with the negotiations or renegotiations at some point. There's a cultural barrier and a language barrier, and then you put those two things together, I think some things become lost in translation."
Injuries could decide the issue. Werdum has said he plans to undergo elbow surgery and subsequent physical therapy that probably will keep him out until next year.
(UPDATE, 2:18 p.m. ET: Werdum may not be out for long, manager Richard Wilner tells Sherdog.com. If the fighter undergoes surgery, it would only be minor, according to Wilner)
Meanwhile, potential opponents for Emelianenko could include Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem, No. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva or Sergei Kharitonov, a Pride Fighting Championships veteran who has yet to make his debut for Strikeforce.
"Whether it's Overeem or whether it's Kharitonov or whether it's 'Bigfoot' Silva, or anybody that we put Fedor in the ring next to ... I think we'd rather see another fight before he fights Fabricio, instead of getting a rematch," Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told Fighting Stances this week. "Bigfoot Silva and Fedor, that would be another great fight."
Silva, a former champion of EliteXC, has won seven of his last eight fights. His only defeat since the start of 2007 came in November, when he lost a decision to Werdum.
The promotion also needs to find an opponent for Overeem, who finally made his first title defense with a win over Brett Rogers in May, two-and-a-half years after winning the Strikeforce belt.
"I'd like to see Overeem fight 'Bigfoot Silva, I'd like to see Overeem, when Fabricio Werdum is healthy, fight him," Coker said. "I'd like to see Overeem fight Fedor at this point. I'd like to see, maybe even Overeem fight Kharitonov at some point."

Everything We Know About the Malaysia Airlines Crash in Ukraine
Keeping track of the international finger-pointing is already getting difficult.
The conflict in Ukraine took a tragic and frightening turn on Thursday when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed near the Russian border in Ukraine. The international finger-pointing started almost immediately, and everyone who became an armchair aviation expert during the disappearance of Flight 370 was quick to weigh in. Before we head into the second day of the crisis — which is sure to bring more accusations and unhinged conspiracy theories — here's a guide to what we actually know.
What do we know about the plane?
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was a Boeing 777-200ER, the same model as Flight 370. Malaysia Airlines tweeted that the plane "has been in service for 17 years. It had a clean maintenance record." It took off at 12:15 p.m on Thursday from Amsterdam and was scheduled to land in Kuala Lumpur at 6:10 a.m. on Friday.
Ukrainian authorities notified Malaysia Airlines that they had lost contact with the plane at about 4:21 p.m. local time, when it was about 50 miles from the Ukraine-Russia border, according to the Associated Press. A journalist located the crash site near Hrabove, a village in Ukraine held by pro-Russian separatists about 25 miles from the border.
John Wendle, a freelance reporter for ABC News, said there were "bodies scattered everywhere" at the crash site. "There's blood splattered everywhere, and pieces of remains," Wendle said. "It's a pretty grim sight ... This is terrible." This New York Times report describes the horrific scene in detail. Many photos and videos of the debris have been posted on social media, and Russian TV ran graphic footage of the wreckage. The video below, which was shot by a local, shows a massive plume of smoke and pieces of the plane falling from the sky:
Questions arose on Thursday about why Flight 17 was recklessly flying through a war zone. While many airlines have avoided the route recently, about 100 planes were still flying through Ukraine's airspace every day. "The usual flight route was earlier declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organisation," Malaysia Airlines said in a statement. "International Air Transportation Association has stated that the airspace the aircraft was traversing was not subject to restrictions." The jet was cruising at 33,000 feet, which is far beyond the range of the weapons the rebels were thought to possess.
Who was onboard?
It was initially reported that 280 passengers and 15 crew members were on board, but on Thursday night Malaysia Airlines said three infants were also on the plane, bringing the death toll to 298. The airline released a breakdown of the passengers' nationalities. There were 154 from the Netherlands, 43 from Malaysia (including the crew and two infants), 27 from Australia, 12 from Indonesia (including one infant), 9 from the United Kingdom, 4 from Germany, 4 from Belgium, 3 from the Philippines, and 1 from Canada. The nationalities of 41 victims have not been verified. Malaysia Airlines tweeted:
We are in the process of notifying #MH17 next-of-kin. Once all have been notified, the passenger's manifest will be released.— Malaysia Airlines (@MAS) July 18, 2014
Adding to the tragedy, it appears that some of the world's leading AIDS researchers lost their lives. The Australian reported that 108 of of the passengers were researchers and their families, who were en route to the 20th International AIDS Conference in Melbourne. There was no source listed for that report, but UNAIDS executive director Michel Sidibé said "many" of his colleagues were on the flight:
My thoughts & prayers to families of those tragically lost on flight #MH17. Many passengers were enroute to #AIDS2014 here in #Melbourne.— Michel Sidibé (@MichelSidibe) July 17, 2014
Officials say Glenn Thomas, a British spokesman for the World Health Organization, and Joep Lange, the former president of the International AIDS Society, were among the victims. "Joep was a giant in this field; a researcher who really 'got it' in terms of human rights, equity and justice. He was as much activist as researcher — and that is rare. Incredibly sad," Mitchell Warren, executive director of AVAC: Global Advocacy for HIV Prevention, told NBC News.
During a Friday morning news briefing, President Obama said that Quinn Lucas Schansman, a man with dual Dutch-United States citizenship, was on the flight. According to a friend, Schansman was born in New York City but spent most of his life in the Netherlands.
How was the plane shot down?
U.S. intelligence agencies say the plane was hit by a ground-to-air missile, and according to the New York Times, surveillance satellite data suggests it was a Russian SA series missile. The most likely explanation is that whoever shot down the plane thought they were aiming at a military aircraft.
An adviser to Ukraine's Interior Ministry claimed in a Facebook post that the plane was shot down by separatists using a Russian-made Buk ground-to-air missile system. Associated Press journalists saw rebels in eastern Ukraine with a similar-looking weapon earlier on Thursday. Buk systems could have been provided by the Russians or abandoned by Ukrainian government forces retreating from the area.
What brought down the Malaysia jet? Possibly a Buk Missile launcher. http://t.co/b1KkozvbGQ pic.twitter.com/pKYTwAryE4— raoulranoa (@ranoa) July 17, 2014
"This is a sophisticated crew-served weapon system," John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, told the L.A. Times. "It's not like a guy can learn how to shoot one of these in an afternoon. They have entire schools dedicated to teaching people how to operate them."
Who fired the missile?
It's unclear, but the accusations were flying in the hours after the crash. Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Ukraine was ultimately responsible, since, "This tragedy wouldn't have happened if there had been peace on this territory, if the military actions hadn't been restarted in southeast Ukraine."
Ukraine described the crash as a terrorist attack carried out by Russian separatists. On Thursday evening, its intelligence agency released edited recordings of intercepted phone calls between rebels and Russian military intelligence officers in which they sound shocked that they shot down a civilian jet. "We have just shot down a plane," says a man believed to be Igor Bezler, a separatist commander. In another call, a man at the scene is asked if he sees any weapons or military equipment. "Absolutely nothing. Civilian items, medical equipment, towels, toilet paper." When asked if he sees any documents, he says, "Yes, of one Indonesian student."
The rebels are denying that they caused the crash. In an interview with the Times, Andrei Purgin, deputy prime minister of the Donetsk People's Republic, admitted that insurgents have shot down Ukrainian planes recently, but he said, "We don't have the technical ability to hit a plane at that height."
As for the United States, The Wall Street Journal reports that various agencies are "divided over whether the missile was launched by the Russian military or by pro-Russia separatist rebels." The White House went ahead and criticized Russia anyway, saying in a statement, "This incident occurred in the context of a crisis in Ukraine that is fueled by Russian support for the separatists, including through arms, material and training."
While addressing a Friday emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, United States U.N. ambassador Samantha Power confirmed that Flight 17 "was likely downed by a surface-to-air missile, an SA-11, operated from a separatist-held location in eastern Ukraine." She added that the United States could not "rule out technical assistance by Russian personnel" in operating the weapon.
What happens now?
Leaders from many nations, including Ukraine and Malaysia, are calling for an international investigation of the crash site. Before an unrelated speech in Delaware, President Obama said the United States is trying to determine if Americans were on the flight, and "will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why."
Obama's words were somewhat more forceful on Friday. Calling the crash an "outrage of unspeakable proportions," he vowed to "make sure the truth is out." "We don't have time for propaganda. We don't have time for games," he continued. And while he did not directly blame Russia or Putin for what happened to Flight 17, Obama did say that Russian's actions on behalf of the separatists in Ukraine is what allowed the disaster to occur. "We know that [the separatists] are heavily armed and they are trained," he said. "That is not an accident. That is happening because of Russian support."
It may already be too late to conduct a credible probe. Rebels have reportedly taken possession of the plane's black boxes, and Ukrainian officials say they're concerned that they'll be sent to Russia and tampered with. However, on Friday, rebel leader Aleksandr Borodai that that his group intended to give the black boxes to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that, "Kostyantyn Batozsky, an adviser to the Donetsk regional governor, said in a telephone news conference that the aircraft voice and data recording devices had been recovered by Ukrainian emergency services workers whom the rebels had granted access to the crash site." Either way, it appears the site has already been thoroughly contaminated, as videos show separatist fighters, journalists, rescue workers, and civilians going through the wreckage.
As for the larger geopolitical consequences, it's anyone's guess. Obviously, the facts aren't in yet, but feel free to speculate about whether the crash will deescalate the Ukraine crisis or start World War III.

Government shutdown will have an impact, but it's not the end of the world
With a government shutdown due to begin Friday at midnight if Democrats and Republicans cant reach an agreement on the budget, questions about the impact of such an action are beginning to grow.
The looming government shutdown has its roots in 2010, when Democrats failed to pass a budget for fiscal year 2011 while they controlled the House and Senate. In January, Republicans in the House passed a budget covering the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year. Following the bills defeat in the Senate, the government has continued to run on continuing resolutions while budget negotiations have been ongoing.
With the current budget resolution set to expire, Democrats and Republicans are haggling over cuts ranging between $33 billion and $40 billion for the rest of the fiscal year budget. According to National Journal, some of the debate comes over so-called riders, such as defunding Planned Parenthood, and some comes over the size of the cuts being proposed.
On House Majority Leader Eric Cantors blog, he writes that House Republicans have offered three continuing resolutions to cut spending and prevent a government shutdown. The latest continuing resolution proposal, released Monday, would keep the government running for another week and asked for $12 billion in cuts, but was rejected by Democrats.
Cantor writes, without letting the ink dry on the House Republicans latest CR, the White House and Senate Democrats rejected the offer, thus admitting their willingness to shut down the government over less than 0.5 percent spending.
In a floor speech Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., argued that the Democrats only bottom line is to avoid a government shutdown.
We want to pass a budget that makes smart cuts — cuts that save money, but that dont cost jobs, Reid said. This has been our bottom line throughout this process, so weve made tough choices. Weve made those choices because we know that at this late stage of the game, reality is more important than ideology. We know that sacrifices are the cost of consensus, and we think theyre worth it.
While the country wonders about the impact of a government shutdown, a single question is emerging: does the rhetoric match the reality?
According to various news sources, a government shutdown would have possibly serious consequences for some. An estimated 800,000 nonessential federal employees would be furloughed, the Federal Housing Authority would stop processing loan guarantees, the Environmental Protection Agency would stop issuing permits and the Small Business Administration would stop processing direct small-business loans.
However, other less serious consequences are also being reported, such as the possible cancellation of the Washington cherry blossom parade; the closing of national parks, the Smithsonian Institution, the Capitol Visitor Center and the Botanic Gardens; and Capitol Hill staffers having to turn in their BlackBerrys.
In the case of a shutdown, questions about national security are most prominent and worrying.
On the national security side, NPR reports that activities considered necessary for the safety of life and protection of property would continue, including law enforcement, air traffic control, Department of Homeland Security functions and the military.
Geoff Morrell, a Pentagon spokesman, told Foreign Policy that, in the event of a government shutdown, the Defense Department would retain the ability and the authority to continue to protect our vital interests around the world, to continue to safeguard the nations security, to wage the wars were fighting and the operations that we are conducting right now.
Foreign Policy reports that a government shutdown would result in members of the military not receiving paychecks. While they would still continue to be paid, the money would not be distributed until the government resumed work.

|Original Airdate
|November 20, 2011
|Previous Episode: Dead Ringer (Miami)
|Next Episode: Long Gone
A Few Dead Men is the ninth episode in season ten of CSI: Miami.
Three high schoolers convicted of killing a boy in 1991 are set free 19 years later. However, when one of the men is found stabbed to death, new questions arise about their innocence and what really happened that fateful day.
In 1992, Frank answered a call in a rural area and found the dead body of Troy Faber, a teenager who was tied to a tree, tortured and killed. Three young men were arrested and charged with the crime. In 2011, the men are released after the key witness recants his statement. Celebrity Kayla Bledsoe holds a press conference to celebrate that these innocent men are out of jail, and there are protestors in the crowd—including Troy Faber's parents. They start to charge the stage, but the cops get the former prisoners out of danger while Horatio speaks with the Fabers and stops them from trying to attack the men they hold responsible for their son's death.
Later, the three men are having a party at Kayla's mansion. Rocco winds up dead in the bathroom, and he was stabbed ten times: eight times in the chest, once in the back and once in the thigh. The brutal murder mimics Troy's death all those years ago. Walter and Dr Loman also discover that the man's genitals were cut, which is consistent with what happened to Troy. That information wasn't released to the public, so the killer knows details about the original case. A blood stain on Rocco's pants has an imprint of the Shadow Elite insignia. Troy Faber's father joined the group when he was in the Marines, but he says there are plenty of people with the same knife. They bring in Troy's mother Connie as well, and she admits to stabbing Rocco. She thinks about her son's death every day, and she couldn't bear to see his killers laughing and experiencing freedom they didn't deserve.
Connie claims that she only stabbed Rocco once, and Loman confirms that the nonfatal stab wound in Rocco's chest is from the knife Troy's mother used. However, the other wounds were inflicted by a different, duller blade. Walter and Loman find flakes of dried blood on Rocco from Troy Faber—he was killed with the murder weapon from 1992, which was never recovered. Calleigh wonders if the killers left the weapon at the scene, so Frank leads Horatio and Ryan to where he found Troy Faber's body. Ryan locates a piece of metal from the murder weapon embedded in a gash in one of the tree's roots. The metal has a zinc coating, which indicates that it was used for athletic purposes—like Darren's javelin from track and field.
Darren overheard Victor and Rocco talking at the party, and he realized that they were guilty of Troy's murder. They lied to the world, and they lied to him. He went back and dug up the javelin they buried, and he used it to kill Rocco. Darren will go back to prison, but at least he's going away for a crime he actually committed.

Scripture: Romans (NIV) 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Observation: Doing evil to repay evil may be getting even, but it can never overcome evil; only doing good can do that. With Jesus as our example we are to be victorious in doing good. Evil is defeated in that it cannot get a foothold within our lives and force us into its mold! Praise the Lord!
Application: God does not want me to get even; He wants me to overcome! I cannot overcome by doing nothing; I must do something good. It is overcoming a hurtful comment with a compliment. It is giving forgiveness when what I received hate.
Prayer: Lord, may I never be satisfied with getting even when you want me to be a winner. Amen

The thing about HPV that I just don't see enough of is the fact that genital and anal warts are called "condylomas," which, to be snarky and horrible, is always what I hear when someone says the Secretary of State's first name.
people need to calm down about HPV. After testing positive for it I then had a cancer screening which freaked me out, it was only then that I learned that EVERYONE gets HPV. You don't even have to have had sex. Any sort of touching will give it to you within your lifetime. And the vaccine only prevents a few out of the thousands of strains.
@2: It doesn't help that now they have that commercial on TV about a woman whose paps were always normal, but she got the HPV test anyway, and then she had... CERVICAL DISEASE!!!!! That test saved her life!!!!! What the treatment might be for "cervical disease" they never say, but if she hadn't received it, she probably would have DIED. Thanks, HPV test!
and this is why my hypochondriac mother thinks she has restless leg syndrome, fibromyalgia, and probably erectile dysfunction.
Well, getting the HPV vaccine is a useful thing for girls and boys, especially BEFORE they become sexually active (middle school at the latest), in that it impacts about 70 percent of the HPV strains - but you still should have pap smears.
@2: Yes, the vaccine only prevents a few of the strains. Specifically, "the four most serious variants."
This really isn't rocket science. Some strains of HPV are worse than others. The vaccine protects against the really bad ones, so that the patient is less likely to develop cervical cancer.
there are about a hundred strains of HPV. 15 of them cause cancer, and about 5% of sexually active adults are positive for one of these strains at any given time. when you consider all strains of HPV [not just the high-risk ones], about 25% of people are positive.
about 14,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed in the US each year. about 4,000 of these women die. these numbers would be much, much higher without pap smears and HPV testing.
a rarely reported HPV not-so-fun fact: gay men get anal and rectal cancer at rates that approach cervical cancer in women, yet there are no formal screening guidelines for this population.
i love you science!
@7: I'm sure proctologists can't wait to get in on that action.
It's worth reading Bernadine Healey's commentary in a recent issue of U.S. News and World Report:
Cocksucking (and pussy-eating) guys and girls who do so unprotected have been developing oropharyngeal cancer at rising rates over the last 3 decades, probably mostly from HPV-16 and -18.
Someone going to this talk should ask Denise Galloway why it's taking so long to get Gardasil approved for men.
Maybe guys who are oral-active/unprotected should ask their doctors about getting Gardasil off-label.
And maybe new couples going monogamous should get tested for HPV along with other STDs before going unprotected.
@8: Science loves you too!
Almost everyone does get HPV; the important question is which HPV. By making life difficult for the four variants most likely to result in cancer (and warts), the vaccine grants a strong selective advantage towards benign variants in the HPV population. Nifty. We're basically domesticating the virus. Even the non-vaccinated (thanks to poverty, crazy parents or caution/stupidity) will be better off....
@10: Agreed. Everyone who hasn't already contracted HPV should at least consider off-label use--men too! It's damn expensive if your insurance isn't paying, and most off-label uses are not covered.
Still, isn't it a bit pleasant that women's health, for once, took the priority over men's?
I believe the studies for men are still ongoing, including here in Seattle. Volunteer!
@11: Healey (see @10) says "...when it comes to HPV-related tonsil and tongue cancer, men are at greater risk than women." Gotta dig into PubMed to find out why that is. I wouldn't in any way want to make light of surgery or other treatment for cervical cancer, but it does seem to have fewer implications for daily living at least initially than surgery or treatment for oropharyngeal cancer. There are obviously many, many variables in the whole situation. For example, how does prior HIV or herpes infection affect HPV transmission vulnerability or efficiency, not to mention likelihood of cancer down the road? Circumcised vs. uncut cocks? Are men doing most of the transmission since straights predominate and men tend to have more partners than women? If so, a strictly rational approach to controlling spread would seem to emphasize vaccinating men over women.
But yeah, I'm glad women's concerns are emphasized over men's for a change. However, I'm concerned that factors affecting primarily gay people of either gender will be ignored for too long.
I would volunteer for clinical trials in a heartbeat if I didn't live in a rural part of California.

Handwriting: A formative art or vital tool?
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
PROVO — At the beginning of the school year, Lance Vandermark asked his second grade class what kind of handwriting they wanted to strive for this year.
Did they want to have cruddy kindergarten penmanship or write like sloppy second graders?
One boy said that he had a brother in college, and he wanted to have handwriting like his.
Now when the students turn in their final writing drafts, Vandermark asks if they think they used their "super-neat college handwriting." If not, he has them practice certain letters again.
"They think it's a blast and it gets them focused on how they are writing," said Vandermark, who teaches at Sunset View Elementary in Provo.
But over the years, schools have focused less on handwriting. Most early-grade elementary school classes spend 25 to 50 minutes on handwriting instruction a week — as much as some schools used to spend every day on penmanship, said Kathleen Wright, national product manager at Zaner-Bloser, one of the nation's largest handwriting curriculum publishers. Schools have more pressure and time constraints due to the emphasis on high-stakes testing ushered in by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, meaning there isn't as much time to focus on handwriting.
Some schools have already given up on teaching cursive and more may follow in the coming years as the new state-led Common Core standards, set to be implemented by 44 states (including Utah) in the 2014-15 school year, do not require students to learn cursive and do not mention handwriting as part of the curriculum at all. Currently, the Utah curriculum does specify that students should learn how to write legibily and fluently.
Research has shown that learning to write letters by hand is an important part in language development and helps children learn how to read faster and better, said Karin Harman James, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Indiana University who has done extensive research on the topic.
The demand for students to know how to write well remains, as 80 percent of the work students do in the classroom is still done by hand, said Steve Graham, professor of education at Vanderbilt University.
Advantages to handwriting
Earlier this month, students at Reid School, a private school in Salt Lake City, sat down and practiced their handwriting skills. Kindergartners practiced writing the lowercase letter "r" and corrected their teacher when she modeled the letter and wrote it too tall or backwards. Students in the upper-level writing class practiced writing the cursive lowercase "l".
For the first three weeks of school, preschoolers through eighth-graders practice their letters for at least 45 minutes a day, said Ethna Reid, director of the school. Reid has had parents who can't believe the difference in their child's handwriting after just a few days at the school.
"Handwriting is so important nowadays," Reid said, adding that it helps children develop good critical thinking skills. "The better the handwriting, the more you write, and the more you write, the more you think."
Learning to write by hand is especially important in the early years, said Harmon, who is known in the linguistic world for her brain-imaging study on children.
Her studies have shown that manually printing words as compared to typing letters and words has different effects on the brain. Actually forming the letters on paper activates the portions of the brain that help with letter recognition and reading.
"Printing helps children to be able to identify letters and identifying letters is the highest predictor of reading success," Harmon said. Subsequent studies have shown that learning to write while learning to read helps children read better and faster than just learning to read without the writing component.
Better handwriting also generally equals better grades, said Graham, with Vanderbilt University.

Unanswered: Showing full date in date field
Hi, I wish to show the full parsed date in a datefield. I effectively saw the date was always 01/01/01 for example.
As the application I'm developping targets from the baby to the elders, I might need to show the centuries in addition of what's already shown.
I'd be glad to know if there's a way to show : 01/01/1901.
Thanks in advance.
I searched through documentation but I saw no property which could fit...
13 Aug 2012 7:00 AM #2
you need to set the "format" config of the datefield to show the date how you like it to be shown.
13 Aug 2012 7:01 AM #3
It shows the full year by default. See the live example in the docs. There is a format configuration you can define for alternate formats.
13 Aug 2012 7:02 AM #4
Use format config (see supported formats http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/api/Ext.Date) -
PHP Code:
xtype: 'datefield',
format: 'm/d/Y'
13 Aug 2012 7:14 AM #5
Thank you for your quick answers, but I'm already using format config and it doesn't change anything... It desperately remains 01/01/01...
13 Aug 2012 7:16 AM #6
you probably have m/d/y (lowercase Y). If you just delete the format you should be set.
13 Aug 2012 7:19 AM #7
I'm sorry, but here's my code :
{ xtype: 'datefield', name: 'dateEffet', fieldLabel: 'Date d\'effet ', format: 'd/m/Y', labelWidth: 120, width: 379, allowBlank: false }
Maybe can help : I set its value with a getForm().setValues(res), res being an xhr answer array-parsed. I use it to fill my form, which this datefield belongs to. Can it be caused by this ? I'd precise when I show my form blank, I set its value with setValue(new Date()). Doesn't change anything though.

13 Aug 2012 7:31 AM #8
Oh I see why you are using format now. The European way makes so much more sense. Is it possible it is getting overridden somewhere? d/m/Y should show it the way you want. In fact I even ran the code you specified just to double check and it works.
13 Aug 2012 7:32 AM #9
take a look at the altFormats config and the example in the API Docs:
your value which you are setting to the datefield should be in one of the formats specified either in the format config or the altFormats config.
13 Aug 2012 7:44 AM #10
Had an idea. Are you using locale? The french locale has the d/m/y format specified. If you are including the locale script after your code it could be your issue.
On second thought, I don't think locale would override a format specified on a object config, but I do wonder if it is somehow related. If you are using locale, try removing it temporarily and see if anything changes.

HARTFORD, Conn. - Fast-food workers and community and faith leaders protested on Apr. 3 against systemic and illegal wage theft in the industry - just days after the first-ever national poll of fast-food workers showed companies like McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's are stealing money from 89 percent of their employees.
The action came as two former McDonald's managers spoke out for the first time about how they were forced to steal from workers' checks. In a video made public on Apr. 1, the managers talk about how they shaved time off of workers schedules, among other practices, so they wouldn't "blow labor," or spend more than they were supposed to, on workers.
"A corporation as big as Papa John's has enough money to pay their employees without working off the clock," said Jelani Burrell, who works at Papa John's in Bloomfield, Connecticut. "No employee should have to work for a corporation and not be paid for their time. There are times when I have to continue working after I have been sent home or clocked out. It's not fair that I have to continue to do my job without being compensated for the work that I'm doing."
Holding signs that read, "Every nickel every dime we deserve our overtime," Hartford fast-food workers and supporters protested in front of McDonald's and Burger King demanding it and other fast food companies stop the illegal theft of workers' pay. Workers told of fast food companies forcing them to work off the clock, and through breaks.
The first-ever national poll of fast food workers, conducted by Hart Research and released Apr. 1, shows that the wage theft described by the McDonald's managers pervades the entire fast food industry. Companies like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's are stealing money from 89 percent of their employees, according to the poll of 1,088 fast-food workers in the nation's 10 largest metropolitan areas.
Since Nov. 2012, fast food workers have been campaigning for $15 and the right to form a union without retaliation. As the campaign spread to more than 100 cities, it quickly became apparent that workers in the industry are victims of widespread illegal pay practices that erode their already meager salaries.
In addition to showing that nearly nine out of every 10 fast-food workers experience some form of wage theft, the poll shows:
92 percent of Burger King workers, 84 percent of McDonald's workers, and 82 percent of Wendy's workers are victims of wage theft;
60 percent of fast food workers have experienced three or more different types of wage theft;
60 percent of fast-food workers have been required to perform tasks before clocking in or after clocking out;
26 percent of fast-food workers have not always been paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours they worked.
Last month, class-action lawsuits filed in California, Michigan, and New York alleged McDonald's is systematically robbing employees by forcing them to work off the clock, shaving hours off their time cards and not paying them overtime, among other practices. The suits demand McDonald's, which earned nearly $5.6 billion in profits in 2013, pay back the stolen wages and stop its illegal theft of workers' pay.
And late last month, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced a second settlement with a major fast-food company for stealing workers' pay. The settlement with Domino's, which followed one with McDonald's earlier in March, means that workers have won back nearly $1 million in stolen wages in just the last few weeks.

Pentagon: SEAL Violated Publication Agreement
The Pentagon has alerted the Navy SEAL who wrote a book on the Osama bin Laden raid that he violated agreements not to reveal military secrets. The book describes in detail the raid that killed bin Laden. But the book's publisher and the author, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen, did not seek Pentagon review as required.
