In this article, we address the task of comparing and combining different semantic verb classifications within one language. We present a methodology for the manual analysis of individual resources on the level of semantic features. The resulting representations can be aligned across resources, and allow a contrastive analysis of these resources. In a case study on the Manner of Motion domain across four German verb classifications, we find that some features are used in all resources, while others reflect individual emphases on specific meaning aspects. We also provide evidence that feature representations can ultimately provide the basis for linking verb classes themselves across resources, which allows us to combine their coverage and descriptive detail.

Police: Woman assaulted officersMarch 18,2013
DERBY Police say an 18-year-old Vermont woman is facing charges after she allegedly kicked a state trooper and spit on and kicked a local police officer.
Trooper Debra Munson said Alyssa Lamadeleine, of Charleston, was intoxicated when she was arrested shortly before midnight Wednesday after driving her vehicle into a ditch in Derby.
Munson said Lamadeleine kicked her twice while they were waiting for an ambulance to arrive, then kicked and spit on a Newport City officer at North Country Hospital.
Police said Lamadeleine also damaged the inside and outside of a police cruiser while being taken to state police barracks in Derby.

Arizona senator introduces parental rights bill
PHOENIX — A parental rights bill, introduced by Sen. Nancy Barto, is making its way through the Arizona Legislature.
Under current Arizona law, a parent who has custody of a child can move up to 100 miles without letting the other spouse know. Senate Bill 1073 would change that. It would require that the parent be notified no matter what the distance of the move is, even if it's just down the street.
"There will be a notice telling why they're moving, and a little bit more information," said Barto. "This is to give the other parent an opportunity to object."
Barto said SB 1073 makes sure that both parents are treated fairly in custody issues.
"It insures that parents with joint custody rights can get a hearing in a timely matter so that neither parent, mother or father, has to go months and months without seeing their child," she said.
Barto said she introduced the bill after hearing complaints from male constituents that they aren't being treated fairly when it comes to child custody.
Both bills have cleared a Senate committee and are now headed to the full Senate for consideration.

Ease of Use
I started Camrese after coming off of Depo Provera, which stopped my periods for three months when it wore off. So far Camrese has lowered the count and size of my ovarian cysts, which is wonderful, and has been an effective form of birth control for me. The only negative thing I have to say is that I have had a definite increase in body acne and body hair since I started it, but it's more of ... Show Full Comment

I have been on Camrese for about 6 months now and have had to split the pack to 2 months at a time because my mood was suffering. I am fine for the first 6 weeks then in week 7 I get VERY emotional, experience panic attacks, cry all the time, and feel very depressed. I am thinking of switching back to a monthly pill.

I saw the bad reviews and i was weary about taking this pill, but surprisingly i had no side effects and its worked wonderful. We must remember that medication works different on everyone. Not because someone had a bad reaction it means everyone else will. Try it and see for yourself.

I was on seasonique for about a year, then switched due to insurance reasons. I spotted in the beginning but haven't had an issue in over 9 months.

ISC West is a short seven weeks away and the editors at Security Systems News have already started to book appointments.
Are you interested in talking to us about your new products, your business plan, trends in the industry? We want to meet and talk to as many SSN readers as possible in Las Vegas, but since there are only three of us, we cannot meet everyone. We do have to make some choices. Below is some information you may find helpful.
NEW PRODUCTS Will we cover your new product? Security Systems News is dedicated to breaking business news and does not do much pure product coverage. However, we do much more product news at ISC West than we do elsewhere, so please let us know about your new product launch at ISC West. If you can also tell us how and why our readers—the integrators, installers and professional monitoring companies—will be interested in this new product, we will try to fit you in to our calendars.
An excellent way to get coverage of your new product is to have it featured for free in Security Systems News April (ISC West Show) printed publication. If you're launching a product at ISC West, you can get a nifty description and photo in our April issue for free. Click here to find out about that.
NEW COMPANY or NEW DIVISION, TECH TRENDS, M&A ACTIVITY, BUSINESS PLANS FOR 2015, OTHER NEWS TIPS? We want to hear about this stuff. Our coverage areas are divided this way: Spencer Ives sives@securitysystemsnews covers monitoring and general news; Amy Canfield email@example.com covers residential security and home automation, fire, legislative news, end-user related news; firstname.lastname@example.com, I cover commercial and systems integrators, and suppliers (manufacturers).
NEWS CONFERENCES Will we come to your news conference? Yes! On one condition though—please have news to share. Every year we get some "Announcements!" that so-and-so is having a news conference and they would like us to commit to attending. What's the news conference about? Well that information will be forthcoming, we're told. We understand that you may not want to announce every detail ahead of time, but we do need some information.
TIMING FOR EVENTS and NEWS CONFERENCES We love news conferences that are coordinated with the organizers of ISC West. We like news conferences that take place in the press room or on the show floor while the show is going on. If you coordinate with the organizers of ISC West, your event won't overlap with someone elses. We do not like breakfast or dinner news conferences. We'd rather just have breakfast or dinner. Lunchtime news conferences can work in our opinion. HID used to do a well organized, informative, news conference with boxed lunches in a room close to the show floor. It was crowded too.
THINK ABOUT MAKING YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT AHEAD OF ISC WEST So much happens at the show that we can't possibly cover it all. The really big news can bury some important news items. If you can talk to us three or four weeks ahead of time, we can probably give you more complete coverage. Reach out to us now if you want to talk about ISC West announcements ahead of time.
IF WE CAN'T MEET YOU AT ISC WEST If your news falls within our coverage area, often times we can do a call a few weeks after ISC West.
IS YOUR EVENT HAPPENING DURING THE Security 5k? Between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 16? Oh Well. You should be at the Security 5k, running, walking, or cheering the runners on. Get your company to put together a team and support the sixth annual Security 5K, (which was founded by Security Systems News). You'll get some exercise during ISC West and you can literally help save a child. In 2014 we raised more than $110,000, used to provide food, water, education and healthcare for more than 260 children for one year through a wonderful organization called Mission 500. Click here for more information. Some folks do have other commitments during that time--If you're one of them, consider sponsoring a runner. You can make a difference.
The Enterprise, Ala. police department will discontinue alarm monitoring of residences and commercial business.
The Enterprise City Council voted to discontinue the Enterprise Police Department's involvement in monitoring burglary and fire alarms, according to the Enterprise Ledger.
The police department currently monitors 17 residences and six businesses in the city as an additional source of income. However, a $4,000 upgrade to the system is needed to keep the monitoring system working properly.
The police department has proposed giving the individuals and businesses being monitored a 30-day notice to find an alternate monitoring provider.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—He had commanding roles in "Pulp Fiction" and "Mission Impossible" and starred in HBO's "Don King: Only in America." Now award-winning actor Ving Rhames is putting his tough-guy persona and deep voice to work for ADT.
Well, wait a sec. According to Rhames, he's not just working for the huge home security firm; he says in the new commercials that he "is ADT."
The ad campaign seeks to set ADT apart from the increasing number of smart home products available to consumers. The spots are based on the premise that consumers often mistake convenience "with the added safety of professionally monitored security," ADT said in a prepared statement.
In the ads, Rhames asks, "What good is a smart home if it's not a safe home?"
"Our new campaign addresses the desire for connectivity, control and most important of all—security. Self-monitored security solutions do not provide police, fire or emergency medical response in the event of an emergency," Jerri DeVard, chief marketing officer of ADT, said in the statement.
Rhames says in one of the spots I viewed: "Strong isn't wrong, I'm ADT, I oughta know. But what makes brawn even better is brains. See, I'm both the big brain at the center of your peace of mind and the big muscle to keep the peace."
Big brain, big muscle, gotcha. I'm not going to argue with Mr. Ving. Good ad campaign, I think. What do you think?
CSAA recently posted on its site about the matter of net neutrality, as well as sending out a message from Alarm Industry Communications Committee chair Lou Fiore concerning the topic. Capitol Hill has various items up for consideration on net neutrality, according to Fiore.
"Our goal at this point is simply to let Congress know we are here again and what our needs are as primarily small businesses. At some point legislation will move forward, probably as a rewrite of the Telecommunications Act, and we want to ensure we are not forgotten," Fiore said in the message.
Net neutrality is the concept that all Internet traffic should be treated the same by Internet service providers. This has been an ongoing issue for the security industry and carries with it serious implications.
"Our primary concern is that broadband and wireless network providers are increasingly offering services that compete with us in providing home and business security services. Without some protection for smaller players, these network providers will have an incentive to favor their own security services and 'throttle' or 'block' our emergency signals in order to gain a competitive advantage," CSAA said on its site.
CSAA also provides a letter template to be sent to key members of Congress, along with contact information for these key people. CSAA urges its members to contact their local congressperson by Feb. 26, and to emphasize the personal aspect of their company's situation in this issue.
The association has also posted other stances the industry has taken on this issue, as well as a portion of the 1996 telecommunications act, on its site.
In addition to this push towards net neutrality, AICC announced today the start researching the matter of dropped signals from digital alarm communications transmitters. This will be done through a survey also available on CSAA's site.
According to a recent press release from CSAA, findings from this effort will be made available at the next AICC meetings in March and June of 2015.

Genetec, a developer of open-platform, hardware and cloud-based services for the physical security and public safety industries, based in Montreal, hosted a Press Summit this week. I was supposed to be there. But no! A snowstorm on Sunday prevented me from making my flight out.
I was disappointed. I was interested in learning and reporting about what Genetec has going on for 2015 in advance of its reveals at ISC West. I also was looking forward to finding out more about the corporate culture of the company, which was founded in 1997.
Corporate culture is worth knowing about. Just ask John Loud of LOUD Security, who spoke about it at Honeywell's Connect2014 event.
Brian Katz of Google, keynoter at our recent TechSec conference, discussed that progressive company's culture of security.
Attitudes all add up in making companies more successful.
When I visited Genetec's HQ last year I was impressed with the atmosphere there, from the popular, low-cost gourmet food in its company cafeteria to its on-site gym. Then there's the foosball- and X-box-equipped meeting areas. Employees trying to untangle snags in projects are encouraged to work them out over a game or two. (My teenage son has often told me that video games help him think, too, when he's stuck on a homework project. Now I just might believe him.)
It's not only about good food and fun and games for Gentec's 620 employees, though. Those perks, along with generous vacation time and benefits and company-sponsored outings, are designed to promote a work environment that fosters "a strong culture of innovation, which is essential to the growth and future of [the] business," the company says.
Genetec this year was named one of the top employees in Montreal for the ninth consecutive year by MediaCorp Canada. The contest evaluates employers on criteria that includes physical workspace, work atmosphere and social, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development and community involvement.
The award isn't just about good external public relations, the company told me when I inquired. In addition to prompting more visitors to the Genetec website and boosting job applications and greater, favorable awareness about the company overall, it has made current employees proud to work at the company and, Genetec says, employee retention will grow because of it.
I'll be writing more about Genetec's corporate culture, so stay tuned!
About two months ago, Security Systems News spoke with Steve Keefer, national law enforcement liaison for SIAC, about the unique way the Carson City Sheriff's Department approaches false alarms; by utilizing volunteers. Since, Keefer followed up with this sheriff's office and found that while false alarms have dropped, it is difficult to determine how the volunteers were involved.
Upon looking at the figures over all reductions, "I told the sheriff, 'I bet you're close to a fifty percent reduction in your commercial [false alarms]," Keefer told SSN. Yet, because of how the data was organized, the exact influence of this volunteer program can't currently be determined, Keefer said.
Keefer gave the sheriff recommendations, such as hand-outs, like flyers and printed statistics, as well as a heavier focus on false panic and hold-up alarms. "Those are probably more problematic for a police department, because you're not getting, traditionally, two officers going to a robbery or hold-up—you're probably getting three or four."
A primary reason for Keefer's follow-up was to investigate the viability this practice might hold for other jurisdictions, perhaps to be incorporated into SIAC's recommended practices.
A positive aspect of this program is the small commitment for volunteers, Keefer said; they could finish a month's duties in four hours, across two days. "It's not draining by any means."
According to Keefer, the city of 55,000 people saw about 1,300 false alarms last year. These false alarms are split about 70 percent commercial and 30 percent residential. While these volunteers exclusively visit commercial offenders, Keefer underlined that this method could benefit the residential sector as well.
The volunteers, a husband-and-wife pair, only visit businesses that have received two or more false alarms in a given month, totaling about 10 to 15 per month.
Systems integrator Diebold has been talking about the importance of APIs for years and cloud-based VMS provider Eagle Eye, which opened its doors one year ago has also been a vocal proponent of APIs.
This week, Diebold and Eagle Eye announced a national strategic alliance to deliver cloud-based video services.
The deal will allow Diebold customers to "stream and store live and recorded video, provide flexible cloud storage, and generate notification and real-time analytics."
The alliance combines Diebold's SaaS solution (called SecureStat—here's a story about SecureStat) and Eagle Eye's VMS and API interface
The service is "easy to use, scalable, secure and reliable," Diebold says and it's particularly suitable for multi-location customers who may want to use "local and cloud-based applications that … [integrate] IP-enabled or legacy analog cameras."
In a statement, Eagle Eye CEO Dean Drako lauded Diebold as the "first security integrator and alarm services company to leverage the power of an open API strategy and service offering."
He added that this API strategy "has revolutionized other industries and will do the same for the security industry." Diebold EVP Tony Byerly in a statement called this strategy "the future of security as we continue to leverage APIs to create a connected security program for businesses, starting with easy-to-use cloud-based video services." Diebold will integrate Eagle Eye's cloud VMS at its monitoring centers and customers will be able to see showcase demo applications at its Center of Excellence in Elmsford, N.Y.
At last week's TechSec conference, Diebold's Jeremy Brecher moderated an educational session about cloud-based security systems. Drako was one of the speakers on that panel discussion. Look for a report on that session in the next week.
TechSec2015 is now past, but here's a photo of some of our "20 under 40" end user award winners just after our poolside award ceremony on Day 1 of the new technology conference.
Half of the winners couldn't make it to the conference, and we missed them! But the 10 who were in attendance contributed greatly to an awesome show. One was our keynote speaker, Brian Katz of Google, and five others sat on panels for our education sessions. A winner from last year was our second-day speaker opener, that would be Ralph Nerette of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
Thanks to all, congratulations again and keep in touch!
Don't forget to pay it forward and be thinking of peers that fit the bill for next year's awards.
DELRAY BEACH, Fla.—I'm writing this midway through the second and final day of our TechSec Solutions conference. So far, so great!
This is my third TechSec conference, and as always, I am impressed, albeit blown away, by the passion and commitment that participants and panelists have for the jobs they do.
My favorite part of TechSec is meeting and getting to know in person our "20 under 40" award winners. If you, out there in the physical security world, have any doubts about the future of the industry, you can rest assured it's under control. These young people, the future security leaders, are more than smart and certainly dedicated to their profession.
Our keynoter, Brian Katz from Google, a "20 under 40" winner, was outstanding. Following his speech I don't think he had a moment to himself. Whenever I'd look his way, he was surrounded by people asking him questions, seeking his insights. That's what TechSec is all about.
During one of the sessions yesterday, "Who's the boss of video surveillance? IT vs. physical security," Les Paul Vernon, vice president, enterprise solutions, for Protection 1, and Kelly Klatt, area director of safety and security, Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando, stressed that having a good relationship with IT departments from the start of projects is the only way to go. It's not us against them anymore, they said. Both benefit each other.
My panel, "NextGen: Security practitioners' perspective" with David Avedikian from Southwest Airlines and Brad Reeves of A&P, was, without being biased in the least (!), a highlight of the first day. These two young pros, minus the third scheduled panelist who was stranded in snow-plagued Boston, talked about their biggest challenges of the past year and those they face in the year ahead; how they deal with emergency situations; and the security technology they want along with the technology they're not all that interested in at the moment.
We capped off the day with the "20 under 40" awards ceremony. A great turnout along with great appreciation for the winners made for a fine evening in Delray Beach.
Today's opener from Ralph Nerette, former 20 under 40 winner and director of security and emergency management for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, did much to shed light on what today's end users have to deal with, especially when it comes to the unexpected. In the space of two weeks, Nerette and his team, in addition to their plethora of daily duties, had to deal with the fallout of an active shooter at a next-door hospital and the impending consequences of a huge storm bearing down on his area.
I also sat in on the "Student Innovation: Young Minds with fresh ideas" session, with Mark Robinton, the manager of technology innovation, strategic innovation team, for HID Global, and Jeff Hale, an MBA student at Chapman University.
And we're not done yet! Stay tuned.

In a letter, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), its ranking member, told GSA IG Brian Miller and his staff to check out:
The committee also asked that Miller keep the committee in the loop about how GSA is putting his recommendations in place and if there have been substantive changes as a result. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made the same point to Miller in two recent hearings.
The letter from Lieberman and Collins is based on GSA's Western Region Conference in 2010, which cost $822,000 for a stay in a luxury hotel in Las Vegas. The conference was for 300 GSA employees. GSA Administrator Martha Johnson resigned as a result, after firing two top advisers. Other officials were placed on administrative leave.
The IG's report on the conference forced GSA to re-evaluate its spending on all conferences. Several events have been canceled because of the assessment.
The conference caused a stir in Congress. Several recent bills feature provisions to limit or reduce spending on conferences and travel, and the Office of Management and Budget issued its own set of new rules on May 11.

INDIANAPOLIS -- This year's IndyCar field has been strengthened by the news that 2004 series champion Tony Kanaan has secured a full-time ride with the KV Racing Technology-Lotus team.
Kanaan will pilot a GEICO Insurance-sponsored car for KVRT-Lotus that will carry the number 82 in homage to Jim Clark's famous victory in the 1965 Indianapolis 500 in a Lotus-Ford. The team is also fielding full-time entries for Takuma Sato and E.J. Viso.
"I think Tony is a great addition to our team," KVRT-Lotus co-owner Jimmy Vasser said. "Along with Taku and EJ, he gives KVRT–Lotus a very strong driver line-up, one I am sure can compete for podium finishes and race wins."
Kanaan's 2004 championship season was one of the most dominant in the 15-year history of IndyCar. The 36-year old Brazilian has won
15 series races in 225 starts dating to 1998, including one under CART sanction at Michigan Speedway in 1999.
The driver known as 'TK' drove for Andretti Autosport in the IndyCar Series from 2003 to 2010 but accepted an early buyout to his contract when primary sponsor 7-11 opted to drop its backing. Kanaan then signed to compete in 2011 for de Ferran Dragon Racing, but that team ceased operations last month when it could not obtain financial support to field an entry.
"Jimmy and I started talking about joining forces at the end of last season, but the timing was not ideal and I ended up signing with Gil [de Ferran]," Kanaan said in a statement released by the team. "When I became a free agent in mid-February, calling Vasser seemed like a natural thing to do since KVRT was one of the top teams still looking for a driver."
"Jimmy and I go back a long way," Kanaan added. "We were rivals during the CART days, but more than that, we have always been good friends, which helped a lot with our negotiations. I'm thrilled that we reached an agreement."
Kanaan is one of three former IndyCar champions who will be part of the IndyCar Series this year, joining 2008 champion Scott Dixon and two-time defending titlist Dario Franchitti. Previous series champion Dan Wheldon is still on the sideline, while 2003 CART champion Paul Tracy is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to drive for Conquest Racing.
The IndyCar season begins Sunday with the Honda Grand Prix of St.
Petersburg (ABC, 12:30 p.m. ET).

We solve the equivalence problem for the Painlevé IV equation, formulating the necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the invariants of point transformations for an arbitrary second-order differential equation to be equivalent to the Painlevé IV equation. We separately consider three pairwise nonequivalent cases: both equation parameters are zero, a = b = 0; only one parameter is zero, b = 0; and the parameter b ≠ 0. In all cases, we give an explicit point substitution transforming an equation satisfying the described test into the Painlevé IV equation and also give expressions for the equation parameters in terms of invariants.

What did you do last Thursday? You were probably sitting at your desk while craving the beautiful sunny weather outside, weren't you? I was expecting a typical day at the Nature Canada office, but instead was lucky enough to be recruited to join a Bird Migration Parade! This wasn't just any ordinary parade, oh no. This was a procession of birds of every color, shape, and size! These feathered creatures were filled with such excitement and energy; I literally had to run to keep up! Once I had raced to get out my binoculars, I realized they were not actually birds, but students!

This current week is Earth Week, but did you also know it is International Dark-Sky Week too? These two events share similar messages and are closely linked. International Dark-Sky Week, part of the International Dark-Sky Associate (IDA), runs from April 20-26. The ultimate message of this week is to use lighting more efficiently in our everyday lives, especially at night. It raises awareness of the light pollution impacts on both the human and wildlife populations. "This isn't just an astronomy thing," states Scott Kardel, the Managing Director of the IDA. There is more to it as seen by studies done that show there are effects on migratory birds and turtles from light pollution . For more information on International Day-Sky… read more →

Most Helpful
I did like this chili, even though the seasoning is very mild. Never had mushrooms in chili and I loved that. The pumpkin flavor was not detectable, but does add great nutritive value. Thick and hearty; enjoyed with a chunk of homemade bread. Thanks.
Made with veggie crumbles for my vegetarian BIL and it was so good! Rich flavor. Everyone in my family just loved it. My personal change will be to put in a slightly less onions. But no one else complained!
This was an excellent recipe. I didn't use the red pepper because my husband said he wouldn't like it. But I think it would have been much better with it, as it was bland without it. So I'm giving it five stars. He agreed that the red pepper should have been included. It doesn't taste weird like pumpkin or anything. I will make it again when it turns cold weather.

Russian president Vladimir Putin, wife Lyudmila are divorcing
- From: AFP
- June 07, 2013
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin and his wife Lyudmila have announced they are divorcing.
The announcement came on Thursday, after three decades of marriage, in a stunning revelation that ended years of speculation.
The pair, who have two daughters in their late 20s, made the announcement side-by-side-in a joint interview with state television after watching a ballet performance inside the Kremlin.
"It was a joint decision," Mr Putin said during the interview with Rossia-24 television. "We are always going to be very close to each other. I am sure, forever."
"Our marriage is over, really because of the fact that we practically never see each other," added Lyudmila, who has been almost invisible in public in recent years.
"It really was our joint decision. Vladimir Vladimirovich is completely drowned in work, our children have grown up and they are living their own lives," said Lyudmila.
"I really do not like publicity. Flights are difficult for me and we practically do not see each other," she added.
Mr Putin echoed that, unlike him, Lyudmila deeply disliked publicity and praised her for her devotion in "standing guard" for so many years.
"We have very good relations," said Lyudmila. "I am very grateful to Vladimir Vladimirovich that he still supports me. And the children, he really cares for them. And the children feel this."
"You can say it is a civilised divorce," she added.
The pair made the revelation after together watching the classical ballet Esmeralda performed by the State Kremlin Ballet company at the State Kremlin Palace.
His spokesman Dmitry Peskov, contacted by AFP, also confirmed the divorce. In the interview, neither MrPutin, 60, nor Lyudmila, believed to be 55, gave any clues over their current private situations.
Constant rumours have swirled around Mr Putin's private life but until now there has been a total taboo over discussing it in mainstream Russian media.
A Moscow newspaper reported in 2008 that he was about to marry Olympic gymnast turned legislator Alina Kabayeva, 31 years his junior. The report was denied and the publication closed down shortly afterwards.
The divorce announcement, while ending the speculation about their marriage, appears set to unleash a new frenetic guessing game about who the Russian strongman could be seeing now.
"Now the most interesting thing begins: will Putin marry the second time? And who?" the liberal Slon.ru website commented.
Mr Putin and Lyudmila have been seen together extremely rarely in the last years and their last public appearance appears to date back to May 2012 after Mr Putin was inaugurated for a third term in office.
In 2010 Putin and his wife appeared on television giving their personal details for a national census and the fact that Lyudmila was not wearing a wedding ring attracted speculation, although both declared themselves "married."
Over the past years Putin usually appeared at official functions including foreign visits alone, even if the presence of the first lady was expected according to conventional protocol.
The future Russian president, then working as a KGB agent, married Lyudmila Shkrebneva in July 1983, before he started his posting as a spy in the East German city of Dresden in 1985.
They first met in Mr Putin's home city of Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) when Lyudmila, then working as a flight stewardess, came for a short visit with a girlfriend. A friend then introduced them.
According to his biography on his official website, Mr Putin proposed to Lyudmila three years after their first encounter. "I knew that if I did not get married in two or three years, then I never would," Mr Putin is quoted as saying on the website.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:52 PM GMT on August 12, 2008
A tropical wave about 650 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands (92L) continues be a threat to turn into a tropical depression as it moves west-northwest at 10-15 mph. This morning's QuikSCAT pass (Figure 1) showed that 92L did not have a closed circulation, but rather an elongated 600-mile long "convergence zone" along which the winds moved in opposite directions. Visible satellite loops have shown an increase in heavy thunderstorm activity and organization since yesterday. Surface spiral bands have formed to the west and north, and there is now upper-level outflow to the north visible as cirrus clouds streaming away from the center. Water vapor satellite loops show that a large area of dry air and Saharan dust surrounds 92L on three sides, and this dry air may periodically interfere with 92L's organization over the next two days.
Figure 1. QuikSCAT image from the morning of Tuesday August 12, 2008. Two sweeps of the QuikSCAT satellite are shown. The data on the right swath was taken at 7:48 GMT (3:48 am EDT), and shows the center of circulation of disturbance 93L at the far right of the image. The colors of the wind barbs show winds of 10-20 knots circulating around the center. After the QuikSCAT satellite scanned 93L, it passed all the way around the planet and returned over the Atlantic again at 9:29 GMT (5:29 am EDT), when it scanned the region over disturbance 92L. Note the elongated region with winds moving in opposite directions where 92L is. This disturbance does not have a closed center of circulation. Also note the presence of some bad data along the right edge of the data swath; bad data is common at the edges of QuikSCAT swaths. Image credit: NOAA/NESDIS/ORA.
Figure 2. Latest satellite image of 92L.
The forecast for 92L
Water temperatures are a warm 28°C and forecast to remain above 28°C the next five days. Wind shear is 5-10 knots, and is forecast to remain below 10 knots for the next two days, then increase to 15-20 knots Thursday night through Saturday, thanks to strong upper-level winds from the northwest. The models are split on whether 92L will develop or not. The 2 am EDT GFDL model is the most aggressive, intensifying 92L to a tropical storm that passes just north of the northernmost Lesser Antilles Islands on Thursday, then intensifies into a Category 1 hurricane that plows into the Bahama Islands on Saturday. In contrast, the 2 am EDT HWRF model has 92L at tropical depression strength on Saturday, when it enters the Bahama Islands. The National Hurricane Center is giving 92L a high (>50% chance) of becoming a tropical depression by Thursday morning. Given the continued trend in visible, infrared, and water vapor satellite imagery, 92L will probably become a tropical depression by Wednesday night. A big question is how the storm will adjust to formation of a closed center of circulation; it will lose much of the heavy thunderstorm activity currently along its long axis of converging winds, and this will ultimately affect the track of the storm. In its current disorganized state, 92L will be difficult for the computer models for make an accurate track forecast for, since we don't know where along the long axis of converging winds that the center will form at. We can expect the northern Lesser Antilles to get some heavy weather on Thursday, and these conditions may spread to Puerto Rico late Thursday into Friday. 92L may represent a threat to the U.S. East Coast early next week. The Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to pay their first visit to 92L on this afternoon.
Disturbance 93L off the coast of Africa
A tropical wave near 13N 31W (93L), about 400 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, has shown a decrease in heavy thunderstorm activity since yesterday. Wind shear has fallen to a modest 10 knots over the disturbance. Water vapor satellite imagery shows that 93L is embedded in a large area of moist air, with some dry air and Saharan dust to its north.

Water temperatures are a warm 28° and forecast remain near 28°C for the next five days. Wind shear is forecast to remain 10-15 knots through Thursday morning, then drop below 5 knots. This should allow 93L to develop into a tropical depression by Friday. Dry air may begin to be a problem for 93L beginning on Thursday, as it works its way a bit further to the north where a dry Saharan Air Layer (SAL) exists. The National Hurricane Center is giving 93L a medium (20-50% chance) that it will be a tropical depression by Thursday morning. This storm could threaten the Lesser Antilles 6-7 days from now, but may also recurve out to sea.
Elsewhere in the tropics
Several of the reliable computer models forecast development of a new tropical wave coming off the coast of Africa about 7 days from now.
I'll have an update between 3-5 pm EDT today.

i just get sick of the hyperbole about how we've never seen anything like it, when Brady had pretty similar numbers in the first half of 2007.
The real discussion shouldn't be about how Rodgers is having the greatest season ever, but about how the NFL is set up now to allow QB's to put up such ridiculous numbers that soon they'll come to seem not impressive but meaningless.

Interview questions can be tricky little things. And a great one to ask by hiring managers is this one: "How did you prepare for this interview?" You see, all interview questions have just three answers and this one is focused on the second answer: how motivated are you to do the work?
When looking to see if you are motivated to do the work for the company, hiring managers can't ask what your motivation is; you could say anything. There is nothing that shows the hiring manager, with demonstrable actions, that you are motivated to work at the company or in that particular job.
By asking how you prepared for the job interview, the hiring manager elicits the direct actions you took to prepare for the interview. By you going down a list, "I reviewed the company website, I looked at your competitors websites, I looked through the executive profiles…" you are giving the hiring manager proof that you prepared by researching his or her company.
Better than saying, "Oh, I practiced answering interview questions," don't you think? But you did practice your answers to interview questions too, right?
By listing off all of the different types of research you did (I'd leave out the part where you researched the hiring manager…), there is this assumption that you are more motivated to do the work. By spending two hours going through a company website and taking notes, it somehow translates into motivated to do the work for the company.
Of course, you need to research the company and the hiring manager. Not because you are necessarily motivated to work at the company (Oh, Google, I adore you so…can I please work for your fabulous company? Please, please, please??). Rather, you need to do the research to see if the company matches up with your job search goals. Whether you can settle on the company culture and determine if it matches up with the best ways you have of doing your work. Whether the manager's management style will help you soar or grind you down to the point of hating your job.
That's why you need to do the research: for your stuff, not the motivation to do the work for the company.
But doing all that research is a good way of answering this interview question. Just not for the reasons the hiring manager thinks of the answer.

The 2006 Eruption of Augustine Volcano-Combined Analyses of Thermal Satellite Data and Reduced Displacement

- Download citation as: RIS
Augustine Volcano erupted explosively after 20 years of quiescence on January 11, 2006, followed by approximately 2 months of dome building and lava extrusion. This is the best monitored eruption in Alaska to date; the diverse complementary datasets gathered enable an interdisciplinary interpretation of volcanic activity. An analysis of reduced displacement (continuous measure of seismic tremor amplitude) and thermal energy output (from satellite imagery) observed between January 1 and April 30, 2006, shows relationships linked to the type of eruptive activity. Three different types of volcanic behavior can be identified as they show specific patterns in the combined data sets: (1) explosive activity, (2) lava extrusion (dome growth), and (3) cooling of erupted products. Explosive activity was characterized by high reduced displacement values but relatively low radiative thermal flux. Lava extrusion occurred in three distinct sequences characterized by increased values of reduced displacement and increased thermal emissions. Two periods of elevated thermal energy output and reduced displacement coincided with times of deflation, suggesting an increase in extrusion rate. Periods of cooling were marked by decreasing thermal emissions and reduced displacement. This work highlights the value of combined observations, which reveal more about the status of an active volcano than individual methods alone.

I'm having problems getting wordpress 1.0.2 working on my OpenBSD box. I'm running OpenBSD 3.3, Apache 1.3.27, AuthMySQL 3.1, PHP 4.2.3, and MySQL Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.55. (Apache is not running chroot)
I have a wordpress DB in MySQL and can access it from the mysql command. Apache and PHP seem to be working fine because I have other PHP elements of my site working fine. When I run the install.php script I get a blank page. I have tried editing the wp-config.php file by hand but still get a blank page. What am I doing wrong? Does MySQL run in a jail? If so how do I un-jail it?
Thanks in advance,

'Rock of Ages' audience can't fight this feeling
It's hard to imagine two musicals that are less alike than "The Sound of Music" and "Rock of Ages," which is in town at the Marcus Center through Sunday.
"The Sound of Music" features a would-be nun raising seven children in a nearly idyllic Austria. "Rock of Ages" promises "an evening of musical debauchery and decadence" and features a bevy of scantily clad women. »Read Full Article(2)

Tokyo (AFP) - Japan will Tuesday begin restarting its nuclear power programme, officials said, after a two-year shutdown sparked by public fears following the Fukushima crisis.
Five years after the Fukushima disaster, things are getting worse.
As Japan's infatuation with the great nominal stock market experiment continues, the government wishes nothing more than to put the great Fukushima nuclear disaster in the past, so it can restart its nuclear power plants: the critical, decisive factor if Abenomics has any chance of succeeding, as the country's economy will never recover if it has to rely on foreign sources of energy. Alas, for the time being this looks improbable and following the latest news out of Fukushima, it may be downright impossible.
Japan, the third largest economy in the world, has relied on nuclear energy to provide 30% of its energy for four decades, but this weekend it became the first major, modern economy to operate without nuclear power.On Saturday the Tomari Nuclear Power Plant's reactor 3 shut down, leaving Japan's energy grid completely nuclear free.Junichi Sato of Greenpeace in Japan said that, "there is an increased chance of earthquakes in Japan, so that has a significant risk to the Japanese people and the Japanese economy.
NEW DELHI: India's nuclear programme is set to get a huge boost thanks to three big changes. First, Japan has asked India for a dedicated nuclear reactor site, signaling that not only is it willing to shed all inhibitions of doing nuclear commerce with India but is also keen to be counted with the US, France and Russia as a power building nuclear parks here. Second, India is giving big contracts for six reactors each to US blue-chip companies GE and Westinghouse. This is a big shift from India's long-standing policy of signing deals for two reactors at one go.
