Contraption: Devices in Art
Contraption is a thematic exhibition featuring outlandish sculptural inventions made from an array of materials and moving parts. With participatory artworks that prompt visitor interaction, the exhibition stimulates the senses while inviting critical engagement.
Cynthia Norton's Dancing Squared puts an electric "spin" on a rural American tradition. Artist and mad-scientist Tim Eads takes us back to our potentially rustic future with his covered wagon time machine. In Cross-Culture Tyler Held "tricks out" the trappings of domesticity, turning a cold kitchen stove into a booming stereo system for Atlanta-based gangsta rap. Grant Cox's Totally Hot! shows an old treadmill and a girl's bike suspended in mid-air, giving new meaning to "exercising disbelief." Tracy Featherstone's fashionable "side-bump" devices may prompt conversation on what not to wear. A play on "getting it up," Lauren Ruth's people-powered chocolate fountain, Yes, Please, Thank You truly needs a hand to show us how sweetly it moves and Joanie Turbek's Go With the Flow gently slaps us in the face with a slow-motion chase for the almighty dollar.
A dynamic display of physics, electronic, and mechanical engineering, Contraption highlights artists who transform ordinary objects into elaborate gadgets and provocative machines. Whimsical and clever, each work explores metaphors of movement to present diverse perspectives on various aspects of culture. Our obsession with female beauty and male virility, ideas of suburban and geographic identity, and rampant consumerism are but a few of the pressing issues that emerge through these artists' strangely captivating contrivances.

Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Art
Artists: Tim Eads, Tracy Featherstone, C. Grant Cox, III, Tyler Held, Cynthia Norton, Lauren Ruth, and Joanie Turbek.

As if the stakes aren't already hairy enough for Sunday's 49ers game at Seattle, there are now eyebrows on the line between the two starting quarterbacks.
In a promo spot for the Madden NFL 25 video game released this week, the Niners' Colin Kaepernick and Seattle's Russell Wilson are sitting in a locker room together playing the popular electronic football game (notably, Kap is breaking off a big run in the one play shown).
Their exchange:
Kap: "Big game on Sunday."
Wilson: "Yup. You know what we should do? Whoever loses has to shave an eyebrow."
Kap: "All right. Hope you don't like your eyebrow."
The two players then shake on their wager.
For two teams that don't like each other, the quarterbacks seem to get along quite well, and this little side bet should make the game even more fun. Too bad Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll didn't make the same bet. After all, the players can just slip on their helmet.
For more on the 49ers, see Cam Inman's Hot Read blog at blogs.mercurynews.com/49ers. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/CamInman.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- We all know we are supposed to tip servers and cab drivers, but what about plumbers and movers? To tip or not to tip ... that is the question!
In the home services trades, tipping isn't a given as it is in the restaurant and salon trades. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't leave a tip.
The most commonly tipped service professionals include movers, haulers, house cleaners and pet sitters. Contractors like plumbers and roofers rarely receive gratuities.
When tradespeople do get a tip, cash is the most common gratuity, followed by food or drink.
But keep in mind, some may not be allowed to accept it.
"Unfortunately, there is no hard or fast rule about whether a company won't accept tips. Your best bet is to go straight to the boss and ask whether the company allows it. That way you're not putting the workers in an awkward position," said Angie Hicks of Angie's List.
So how much should you tip? Take into consideration the quality of service and how long you used the company. Typically though, tipping is less than 20 percent of the job.
If you're tight on money but still want to do something special for the workers, consider writing their boss a letter of praise. It's a nice way to show your gratitude!

Round two in London
Roger had to fight in the opening round of the Olympic tournament at the All England Club today, defeating Colombia's Alejandro Falla 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.
"It's great coming back (after winning Wimbledon), but it's so much harder to do it again in the first round knowing that every match for me is like a final. I'm really relieved and hoping to keep it up," Roger said.
Our champ seemed to absolve the first round with ease, when he allowed Falla back into the match after wasting three match points in the second set. He was then pushed hard by the world number 51 in the decider before sealing a tougher than expected win on his fifth match point.
Roger will now face Julien Benneteau in the last 32. Roger had to come from two sets down to win against the Frenchman in this year's Wimbledon.
Focus, ant not distractions.
keep in
Good Luck tomorrow in the doubles, you and Stan can go all the way again i'm sure.
Glad he was able to pull through, pheew

This article discusses poisoning from mercury.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of
an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local
emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at
There are three different forms of mercury that cause health problems.
Elemental mercury can be found in:
Inorganic mercury can found in:
Organic mercury can be found in:
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
Elemental mercury is usually harmless if touched or swallowed. It is so thick and slippery that it usually falls off your skin or out of your stomach without being absorbed.
Considerable damage can occur, however, if mercury is made airborne into small droplets and breathed into the lungs. This can often occur by mistake when people try to vacuum up mercury that has spilled onto the ground.
Breathing in elemental mercury will cause symptoms right away (acute) if enough mercury is breathed in. Symptoms will also occur over time (chronic) if little amounts are inhaled every day. If this occurs, symptoms may include:
Depending on how much mercury is inhaled, permanent lung damage and death may occur. You may also have some long-term brain damage from inhaled elemental mercury.
Unlike elemental mercury, inorganic mercury is usually poisonous when swallowed. Depending on the how much is swallowed, symptoms may include:
If inorganic mercury enters your bloodstream, it can attack the kidneys and brain. Permanent kidney damage and failure may occur. A large overdose may cause massive blood and fluid loss from diarrhea and kidney failure, leading to death.
Organic mercury can cause sickness if breathed in, eaten, or placed on the skin for long periods of time. Usually organic mercury causes problems over years or decades, not immediately. In other words, being exposed to small amounts of organic mercury every day for years will likely cause symptoms to appear later. Regardless, a single large exposure can also cause problems.
Long-term exposure will likely cause neurological symptoms, including:
Medical evidence suggests that being exposed to large amounts of the organic mercury called methylmercury while pregnant can permanently damage the baby's developing brain. Most doctors will recommend eating less fish, especially swordfish, while pregnant. These recommendations are made to be extremely cautious. Small exposures are unlikely to cause any problems. Women should talk to their doctor about what they should and should not eat while pregnant.
Determine the following information:
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Inhaled elemental mercury poisoning may be difficult to treat. The patient may receive:
For inorganic mercury poisoning, treatment usually begins with supportive care. The patient may receive:
Treatment of organic mercury usually consists of medicines called chelators to remove mercury from the blood and away from the brain and kidneys. Often, these medications will have to be used for weeks to months.
Breathing in a small amount of elemental mercury will cause very few, if any, long-term side effects. However, larger amounts will lead to a long hospital stay. Permanent lung damage is likely. There may be some brain damage. Very large exposures will likely cause death.
A large overdose of inorganic mercury may cause massive blood and fluid loss, kidney failure, and likely death.
Chronic brain damage from organic mercury is difficult to treat. Although some people never recover, some success has been seen in patients treated with chelation.

This is something you could do to perhaps promote some tournaments that need the numbers to be successful - aka the A-Tiers. This year is a unique opportunity in that we have 4 A-Tiers right here in IA in a relatively short period of time. They're early enough that it could work as a nice USDGC Q-Series or something along those lines. Plus it would be a great way to encourage ams to play more than one or two of these events if they're trying for the USDGC spot they'll need to play them all. With Cedar Rapids being the last one, the finale would be in Cedar Rapids.

x number of points for playing, x number of points for number of people you beat or tie. The assumption would be that this is for MA1 (advanced players)

Hey everyone:
Tis last week has been tough to play disc golf in. I have played at Big Creek, Ankeny, and a quick 9 at Pete. They are all slick, but Big Creek is the most playable right now. Daryl and Frank played one hole at Grandview and that was enough. What kind of condition are Ewing and Walnut in?? Has anyone been to them this last week? With the present conditions, I am hoping for either a lot more melting or a lot more snow before the Ice Bowl.

SANTA CLARA -- Over their past three games, 49ers tight end Vernon Davis has tallied three more catches than New England Patriots counterpart Rob Gronkowski.
Worth noting: Gronkowski hasn't played during that stretch because of a broken forearm.
Davis' lack of productivity is an alarming statistic heading into Sunday night's game in New England, where the 49ers will need all the offensive magic they can muster.
After catching six passes for 83 yards and a touchdown in Colin Kaepernick's first start at quarterback against Chicago on Nov. 19, Davis has been targeted on only five passes in the ensuing games against the New Orleans Saints, St. Louis Rams and Miami Dolphins.
Asked Friday about Davis' near disappearance from the stat sheet, coach Jim Harbaugh said: "Whoever is open, that's who the quarterback is instructed to get the ball to. And that varies from week to week."
This is Davis' quietest three-game stretch since Shaun Hill quarterbacked the 49ers in November 2008. He had caught a pass in 58 consecutive games until none came his way Oct. 18 against Seattle. He had only a 4-yard reception in Sunday's win over the Dolphins, which followed a two-catch effort in a Dec. 2 loss at St. Louis and a shutout Nov. 25 at New Orleans.
Davis, whose five touchdown receptions share the team lead with Michael Crabtree, hasn't publicly crusaded for more action. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said this week that Davis' big play ability -- the tight end averages 13.3 yards per reception -- still commands respect from defenses.
"I'm not going to get into the X's and O's of things, but every team's different, every situation's different. I'd say that they're paying a lot of attention to him at times," Roman said. "On Kap's 50-yard run a couple of weeks ago (in St. Louis), there were 10 guys. Vernon ran that way and there were 10 guys on that side of the field. So, I think that kind of paints a picture."
"They're physical with an edge," Belichick said. "I'd say (Harbaugh) was a tough guy for a quarterback, definitely. His teams reflect that. He's a good personality, strong personality. They play that way; they play aggressively but with good temperament."
He had been doing individual drills during the week, but because there were no individual drills Friday, the receiver didn't practice at all.
That puts first-round pick A.J. Jenkins in line to play his second career NFL game. Jenkins did not have a catch in his debut against Miami last week.

Here are the answers to questions you may have about software piracy. To report piracy, fill out the form.
No. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) software agreements specifically cover software that is preloaded onto hardware for sale; it is a violation of the license with the software publisher to sell this software without the hardware.
That depends. Some licenses permit the installation of two copies: one at work, and one on a home or laptop computer — normally with the caveat that each copy is to be used by the same person and that the two are not to be used simultaneously.
No. This is known as "softlifting" and is not allowed according to the terms of most license agreements. This means you are not allowed to "share" software with friends or co-workers, nor install software on home/laptop computers unless the license specifically allows for secondary use.
No. U.S. copyright law prohibits the rental, leasing, or lending of software without the express permission of the software publisher.
No. Software is protected by federal copyright law, which indicates you can't make additional copies of software without the permission of the software publisher.
Under "vicarious liability" stipulations of the U.S. Copyright Act, an employer is liable for acts committed by its employees when those acts are within the scope of their employment duties. (Vicarious liability is when one person is liable for the negligent actions of another person, even though the first person was not directly responsible for the injury. For instance, a parent sometimes can be vicariously liable for the harmful acts of a child, and an employer sometimes can be vicariously liable for the acts of a worker.)
Another theory of liability is the doctrine of contributory copyright infringement, whereby a party who does not do the infringement but who aids or encourages it is liable for the act. If you were instructed by your employer to install software on your company's computer(s) in violation of — or in excess of — the software licenses, you may want to inform your employer of their obligations under the copyright law. If your employer is not responsive or you choose not to inform your employer of the violation, you should report the violation to the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) or the Business Software Alliance (BSA).
In the United States, an infringer could be fined up to US$250,000 and face a jail term of up to five years.
Yes, they do.
Counterfeit software is hard-copy software that has been reproduced by someone other than an authorized distributor. It may look just like the real thing, but it is often pretty easy to identify as not the real McCoy. If you are offered extremely cheap software, look for some of these warning signs that you might be buying or receiving pirated products:
Everyone benefits. By protecting the investment of computer software companies in software development, copyright law encourages software companies to invest in coming up with new, creative, and innovative products. These companies dedicate large portions of their earnings to creating new software products and need to gain a fair return on their investment. The creative teams who develop the software — programmers, writers, graphic artists, and others — can receive fair compensation for their efforts only if the software is commercially viable. Without the protection given by our copyright laws, they would be unable to produce the high-quality programs we have come to value, such as educational, business, and entertainment software.
When you purchase authorized copies of software programs, you may receive user guides and tutorials, quick reference cards, the opportunity to purchase upgrades, and technical support from the software publishers. With authentic Adobe software, your programs are safe, stable, and backed by a partner you can trust. For most software programs, you can read about user benefits in the registration brochure or upgrade flyer in the product box.
Buying and using pirated software is risky for corporate and individual users. Aside from the legal and ethical consequences of using software for which the developer does not receive compensation, your organization forfeits some practical benefits. Those who use pirated software:
The law says that anyone who purchases a copy of software must adhere to the conditions of the user agreement that comes with the software. Companies and individuals who use unauthorized software may face not only a civil suit for damages and other relief, but also criminal liability, including fines and jail terms.
Many employees don't realize that corporations are bound by copyright laws, just like everyone else. Unauthorized use of software may expose the company (and possibly those individuals involved) to liability for copyright infringement. As a result, more and more corporations concerned about their liability have written software usage policies. Employees may face disciplinary action if they make extra copies of the company's software for use at home or on other computers within the office. A good rule to remember is that there must be one authorized copy of a software product for every computer upon which it is run.
Although the circumstances are different, having too few licenses is treated by the law in much the same way as having no licenses. Under federal copyright law, the infringing user may be liable for up to US$150,000 for each software program infringed. The law also permits the software publisher to recover court costs and attorneys' fees it spends to sue the infringer and to destroy all the illegal software found at the company. In cases of willful piracy, criminal penalties may also be assessed against the company.

State police say a 57-year-old Ohio man has died after his vehicle collided with an oncoming car in Chautauqua County.
The accident happened Sunday on Interstate 86 in North Harmony, about 60 miles southwest of Buffalo near the Pennsylvania border. Troopers say Thomas Erickson of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was heading west when his vehicle veered across the center median into the eastbound lane.
Erickson's car collided with a Jeep Cherokee driven by 52-year-old Barbara Kubiak of Bradford, Pa. She was flown to a hospital in Erie, Pa., with chest pains.
Erickson was pronounced dead at a Jamestown hospital.

A quick introduction before I begin. My name is Keith Madden. I am a 31 year old real estate attorney living in Mt. Kisco with my wife and daughter. I run for fun and to try and to pretend to be in shape, not to win medals (though medals are nice).
Though I ran in a few races right after college and during law school, I'm just really getting started on running in races. I've run in three so far this year. I'm thinking about signing up for another race or two before the end of the 2011. Maybe I'll do a regular road race as opposed to a trail race next time.
I ran the Westchester Medical Center Trauma Run on 9/18/2011. It was a race through trails, mud and obstacles, similar to the Warrior Dash, which I ran on 6/11/2011. Though there was not as much trail running as for the Warrior Dash, I thought that the trail running was a little more difficult. The obstacles were interesting and involved doing tasks, as opposed to just passing certain points (example: carry this tire 100 yards, then come back with it, then continue on your race).
After having done two trail races and one road race this year, I have learned a lesson that most other runners probably already know well: trail running is a lot harder than road running.
It's a shame I can't claim the results from the Warrior Dash on 6/11/11 at the Run for the Hills 5K on 4/4/11. I run a lot more frequently than my current profile would lead people to believe (though I certainly don't have the speed or endurance to back that claim up).
That's all for this update. I will write again when I have something important to say, or when I run another race. If you happen to come across this blog and you're interested in signing up for one, let me know.
This blog is a general journal of my thoughts on my running and plans for future training. If you are interested in signing up for a race with me, or running with me on weekends, send me an e-mail.

NEW ORLEANS -- Brendon Ayanbadejo, a Santa Cruz native and special teams player for the Baltimore Ravens, is hoping disparaging remarks made by 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver will provide important dialogue regarding the acceptance of gays in society.
Ayanadejo, an advocate of same-sex marriage since 2009, has been outspoken on gay rights issues and said he held no ill will toward Culliver.
"Being from the Bay Area myself, that's something that we really try to preach -- love and acceptance of everybody," Ayanbadejo said Thursday at the Ravens press conference. "So I really couldn't even say anything negative to the young man. It's one of those things that you have to live and you have to learn. In the words of Martin Luther King, you can't fight hate with hate, you have to fight hate with love.''
Culliver, in a taped media day interview which aired Wednesday on the Artie Lange Show, said, ``I don't do the gay guys, man. I don't do that,'' and later added, ``We don't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do.''
The second-year cornerback apologized in a statement Wednesday night and again in front of the media Thursday.
``We've all made our mistakes, we've all been there and done certain things and we've hurt people regardless of whether we we meant to do it or not,'' Ayanbadejo said. ``More than anything, it's an opportunity to have a learning experience.''
Ayanbadejo, who attended Santa Cruz High and UCLA, has talked with teammates about the kind of comments Culliver made on the air.
``I've preached since Day 1 to my teammates, there are certain words you can't say,'' Ayanbadejo said. ``When they're around me, they know, if B.A. is around, you can't say gay in a derogatory manner. You can't say the three-letter `F' word.''
The result will be the kind of bad publicity Culliver experienced.
``If people hear you say those things, regardless of whether you mean them or not, they're going to fry you for it if it's in a public arena, and your whole reputation is going to be roasted for it,'' Ayanbadejo said. ``He apologized and hopefully he'll learn.
``He's in the Bay Area, so it's real important there. It's pertinent and so I think he's going to learn and he's going to grow from it and he's going to be a better person for it.''

The song he talks about "El Pulpo" has a long and I contend prescient solo as he mentions, though he takes a much dimmer view of the performance. I know because I made a copy of it for him to hear and he said something like: "I didn't like it". I had to laugh cause I'm thinking to myself: "You were freaking SIXTEEN years old papa!" For any normal person it would not be a forgotten little turd as it is to him, but to me it is a tentative but deeply musical experiment by a genuinely gifted person and that is what is most outstanding about it. It is not the empty virtuosic athleticism of a child prodigy obsessed with dazzling his elders nor is it the halting attempt of a young but merely ordinary musician. No it is the first salvo from what will one day become one of the masters of the form and to me at least that degree of promise and talent is very much in evidence."

Ok so I have an older g3 mac laptop that I'm using as a server with PS3 Media server with my PS3.
I have .MP4 files that I can copy with a thumbdrive and they play fine.
The same files will not stream-I get corrupted file error
I cannot copy files, they copy but will not play
It seems PS3 Media Server is trying transcode files that should just stream/play
Is there a way to tell it to just use .MP4 files without doing any conversion?
I realize my hardware is low power but I'd be happy to just turn off all video transcoding and use the app as a server alone.

Cartella stampa Woman F/W '14
The Frankie Morello Fall/Winter 2015 collection is pervaded by a feeling of sensuous restlessness that evokes the atmosphere of Sofia Coppola's film "The Virgin Suicides."
The garments reflect this restless soul and her journey in a combination of contrasting fabrics and colors that constantly seek balance.
Seemingly chaste outfits almost like modern college uniforms have imperceptible slits. Mini-dresses reveal fresh sensuality. Pleats are asymmetrical. Flowing transparent garments are combined with a more structured piece in an almost bulky fabric.
Wraparound skirts are embellished with nuanced Swarovski crystals in shades of gray, pink and light blue.
Fabrics of choice are matelassé silk, organza, and also crepe de chine.
Colors contrast: powder pink and dusty blue are paired up with black, midnight blue and gray.
The blouse is a must-have item, a versatile garment that can turn into a dress or slip.
Clothes feature prints that narrate this journey and seem to evoke china ink sketches from a hypothetical secret diary with faces, mouths, eyes and flowers, reaching a catharsis represented by an all-over print of the number 22, a magical number dear to the maison that resembles two barely touching swans.
The book-shaped clutch, a fundamental travel companion of this woman on the go, is the only, almost unrelenting accessory.

In previous columns I've discussed good books, new databases, and services offered at the library. But for me, the most rewarding part of working at the library is the patrons. I've been awed, intrigued, and delighted with the customers who have come through the libraries' doors.
Memories of some patrons always make me smile. For example, one day an older lady slapped a paperback book from the exchange rack onto the counter and indignantly declared, "That's the dirtiest book I've ever read. All of it." Another time a little girl seated on the bench of the girls reading sculpture leaned over and whispered into the sculptured ear, "I like your dress."
Not all interactions have been happy, but nevertheless touching. A man needed help writing a eulogy for his best friend. A young girl needed help dealing with a family suicide.
Some people are memorable because of their questions. One couple wanted to know the frequency of earthquakes in the area where they were thinking about moving. Even I was surprised to discover a website with that information. One gentleman passing through found information about his grandmother's tragic death from a memoir in the historical records. He had not previously known about this part of his family history.
People asking questions were often as interesting as the questions themselves. One gentleman wanted to know how to become invisible. He was certain Denver Public Library could help if we did not have the information.
Of course, not every transaction is with a satisfied customer but even those interactions are interesting. Even the curmudgeons and characters add spice to a mundane day.
Conversations with patrons that started out with book recommendations have turned into lasting friendships. Some patrons I first knew as toddlers now bring their own children to library programs.
It has been a joy to serve all ages - children, teens, adults, and seniors - in my 26 years with at the Eagle Library. I am retiring from my job of reference and adult services librarian. Please join me at an open house celebration of my retirement on Sunday, July 29, from 2:30 to 4:30 at the Eagle Library. You, with your questions, stories, and friendships, have made it a great 26 years.

Global Clean Energy Investment Hits $27.3 Billion in First Quarter of 2010
These 1.25-megawatt wind turbines in Greensburg, Kansas, are examples of the clean energy growth.
Despite the recession, several recent reports indicate that the clean energy sector continues to remain strong globally, despite the economic turbulence. An April 12 report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance noted that worldwide financial investment in clean energy reached $27.3 billion in the first quarter of 2010, up 31% from the first quarter of 2009, but down 13.6% from the fourth quarter. The financial analyst's quarterly figures cover asset financing of wind farms, solar parks, biofuel plants, and other projects, as well as public market, venture capital, and private equity financing for clean energy companies. While China dominated the asset financing with investments of $6.5 billion, Bloomberg's figures report a slight increase in asset financing in the United States, rising from $2.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 to $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2010. Global venture capital and private equity investment hit $2.9 billion in the first quarter, up from $1.7 billion in the previous quarter, but public market investment fell to $2 billion, down from $5.8 billion. Among the leaders for the quarter are electric vehicle infrastructure company Better Place, which sold $350 million in preferred stock, and Clipper Windpower, which received a $202 million investment from United Technologies Corporation. Bloomberg expects clean energy investments to set a record in 2010, possibly reaching $200 billion. See the Bloomberg New Energy Finance press release (PDF 25 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
In another study, the Clean Edge research firm tallied revenue for wind power, biofuels, and solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies in 2009, and found that they grew 15.8% to $144.5 billion worldwide. The report's authors noted that this was somewhat surprising, given the sour economy. Clean Edge highlighted the robust activity for installing new wind farms, which attracted $63.5 billion, up from $51.4 billion in 2008. The report also noted that sales of biofuels reached $44.9 billion last year. The only decline was in the PV industry, which Clean Edge said dropped 6% to $36.1 billion, in part because the cost of solar modules declined. Clean Edge issued its initial report in March, but updated it in late April to include new solar results from Germany, which brought the total PV capacity installed in 2009 to more than 7 gigawatts. Bloomberg New Energy Finance has also been updating its figures, increasing the investment totals for 2008 and 2009. The company now reports clean energy investments of $162 billion in 2009, up from the previously stated $145 billion, while the 2008 figure increased from $155 billion to $173 billion. See the Clean Edge press releases from March and April, the updated Clean Edge report, and the press release from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (PDF 88 KB).

WINDERMERE, Fla. (Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."

VAIL, Colorado- On Wednesday at 7 p.m. the Vail and Beaver Creek ski patrols will present the second session of their Eagle County Avalanche Awareness Series at the Vail Cascade Resort to educate the community about snow and avalanche safety.
The evening will focus on topics including the state of the area's current snowpack, the human factor of avalanches and decision making in the backcountry, as well as avalanche case studies presented. Special guests will include Kevin Kelble from Flight For Life who will talk about protecting yourself if ever involved in an avalanche, and U.S. Forest Service members Don Dressler and Jeff Thompson, who will discuss ski area boundaries and backcountry access gates.
"Members of the Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Patrols started this program as a way to educate the community on snow safety and to hopefully encourage continued education," said Caroline Stone, a sixth-year Vail ski patroller. "We know that people have been accessing the backcountry for years and we want to help ensure that they have the right knowledge and education to make informed decisions once they leave the ski area boundaries."
Guests are also encouraged to arrive early for pizza and soft drinks donated by Vendetta's as well as an opportunity to check out information booths by Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Patrol, Backcountry Access, Friends of CAIC (Colorado Avalanche Information Center), Weston Snowboards and more. The session will begin promptly at 7 p.m.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, Nov. 5, 2012
MARTINEZ, Ga. -- A community is coming together to help a family in need. The Martinez-Columbia Fire Department is accepting donations for a fellow firefighter whose home was gutted by flames last week.
Not only is the home a complete loss, but the firefighter's mother-in-law died after firefighters pulled her from the burning home. Now, his co-workers are asking for your help.
Harold Lewis retired 10 years ago from the Martinez-Columbia Fire Department. On Monday, he was at the fire department to help a fellow brother he's known for 30 years.
"He's a member of the fire department, and I always support the fire department. Everything they do, I'm a part of," Lewis said.
Firefighter and Chaplain Richard Thigpen watched his home go up in flames last week.
"I lost everything. I lost everything," he said. "I've been on the other side many times, but when I pulled up to my yard and saw what I saw ... it hit home, and I was just to the point, what do I do? Where do I go? What's going to happen?"
Not only did Thigpen lose his home and everything in it, but he also lost his 79-year-old mother-in-law Agatha Murphy.
"You never think about it happening to your own people; when it does, it hits hard," Lewis said.
"A lot of times you can walk away from a fire scene and not see the emotion from the family, but when there's a firefighter involved, you're there with them the whole time," explained Martinez-Columbia Fire Special Operations Chief Danny Chief Danny Kuhlmann.
And that family unit is working to help their friend and brother in need. They've set up a "burned out box" to help with cash and gift card donations for the Thigpen family.
"Toothpaste, underwear ... I mean all these little things that you take for granted every day, this money will help them take care of things like that," Kuhlmann said.
Things they need as they begin to heal and rebuild.
"I've always been there for others; it's hard to let people do for me. There's people that want to help you and sometimes you've just got to give in and let them help you," Thigpen said.
"He's a fireman and you're a fireman, and you just never think about it happening to you, it's always the other guy," Lewis said.
If you would like to help the Thigpen family, you can stop by the fire department headquarters at 3910 Desoto Drive in Martinez. The State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the fire and still working to determine a cause.

The end of one of "Survivor's" more enjoyable seasons is upon us. Will the sole survivor be the miracle man, Eddie, who has defied odds to stay in the game? Or Cochran, the nerd who became less nerdy this season? How about Dawn, the mom who has been determined to play her own game?
Erik, whose alliances shift with the winds, is still a contender as is first-time player Sherri, who sort of fell into the power group without really trying.
Let's find out. Cue the drums and the choir. It's the season finale.
Night 36, after Tribal, and Erik is ill. He apparently doesn't make it far from the council area before he faints.
He tells them that his head is spinning.
Jeff Probst comes quickly with someone named Dr. Joe, who fears that Erik is in a state of starvation and his body is shutting down. His pulse is slow and he's very dizzy. Dr. Joe starts an IV with fluids while Eddie, the firefighter/EMT, explains it all. Erik's blood pressure is dangerously low and Dr. Joe pulls the plug on Erik's "Survivor" hopes. Bye bye Erik.
And just like that, we're down to four players.
Back at camp, there are some words exchanged about poor Erik, and then it's game back on. Cochran needs to get to Eddie fast and make a deal with him. He's the most likely to win the next immunity challenge, Cochran says. The boys have a little chat and decide that the next to go will be Dawn.
And speaking of Dawn, it's morning and it's time for a reward challenge.
Reward challenge
With one hand, the players will hold onto a handle, steadying a balance board. With the other hand, they will build a house of cards, or blocks as it is, on the board. The first to build their house to a certain height wins an advantage at the next immunity challenge, probably garnering a spot in the final three.
Sherri gets off to a quick start, followed by Cochran, Dawn and Eddie. The lead changes a half dozen times, but it is Cochran who ends up winning and is immediately congratulated by his next victim, Dawn. Man, this game is cold.
Cochran is pleased to have returned to his challenge beast mode. Not only did he get the advantage, but he kept it out of the hands of Eddie and Dawn. Meanwhile, Eddie and Sherri have a conversation where they agree that Dawn has to go. She's much too sympathetic.
Cochran tells the camera that he has been treated to a daily breakdown from Dawn. Sometimes she's crying and weeping; today, he says, is her catatonic paranoia phase. And she has reason to be paranoid, Cochran says, because he's considering ditching her.
Immunity challenge
It's time for the final immunity challenge but before then, the players must take the traditional walk down snuffed torch lane. Cochran is thrilled.
This is our least favorite part of the game because it feels like they are just killing time. On the other hand, we don't remember half of the people who were voted out early so it's a nice reminder of the early days. We'd almost forgotten how horrible Brandon's meltdown was.
But with homage paid and name tags burned, it's time for the challenge. Probst tells them it will take everything they have. They must race up a three-story structure to untie bags of puzzle pieces, slide down and go back up for another bag. First person to complete the puzzle, which is in the shape of fire, wins immunity.
Cochran reads the advantage he won -- he won't have to untie his bags. And sure enough, the advantage shows up early and often. He has all three bags while the others are just getting to their second one.
But the lead evaporates when Cochran fails to get a single piece of his puzzle put in place before the other three start working on theirs. Dawn takes the lead, but Cochran eventually gets the hang of it and catches up, then passes her with Sherri is hot on their tails. Eddie get finally gets one piece in, and then a second, but it's all over.
Cochran wins his third individual immunity challenge and is hugged by Dawn and Sherri. He has proved himself, Cochran tells Probst, and deserves to be mentioned with the other "Survivor" greats.
Whatever, he's in the power position now and call the shots on who will go to the final with him.
He's already won the million, Cochran says, and now the question is who will get $100,000. It won't be Sherri, Cochran says. But will he take Dawn or Eddie with him?
Everyone is anxious to talk to Cochran. Dawn asks for probably the 1,653rd time if they are "locked." Cochran assures her he is. Then Cochran talks to Eddie, telling him that he doesn't know if he could beat him in the finals. Eddie tries to push his lack of strategy and having any impact in the game as a selling point.
Then Eddie enlightens us as to what he'd do with the million -- open a shelter, play area type thing for dogs and cats, next to a bar. Those are his two favorite things. Oh my.
Tribal council
Still apparently undecided, Cochran and the other three head off to tribal council. Probst teases Cochran about his reaction to winning immunity. Cochran says the last time he played people thought he was worthless and he started believing it. This time he's shown what he's capable of and he's proud of himself.
The debate turns to whether Eddie or Dawn is the biggest threat, with everyone ignoring Sherri. Dawn says she's been her own worst enemy, voting people off. She won't be a big hit with the jury. She also points out that Eddie is extremely likable and with the exception of Phillip, hadn't voted off a single jury member. It seems a foregone conclusion that Sherri is going to the finals.
The votes are in and we say a fond farewell to the One Amigo. Eddie heads off to become the last member of the jury.
On the last day, the final three celebrate with a huge breakfast. Sherri says her husband is going to be so proud of her, and she claims to have run the entire alliance. Say what?
Dawn and Cochran are thrilled that they beat all of the other returning players and had called all of the shots.
Cochran is running on high speed, talking a mile a minute about how Harvard Law School hasn't prepared him for talking to a jury and that it's his game to lose. And now it's time to face the jury. Hey, Eddie is clean-shaven.
Final tribal council
We start with Dawn's opening statement. She feels humble in their company, and they all saw how hard it was for her to play the game. She made choices before she came to have one true ally, and that was Cochran. She also gave herself permission to play the game and deliver hard tackles.
Sherri has three children and is a stay-at-home mom, but she's also a very successful business owner with 75 employees. And she came into the game determined to treat people like she does her employees.
Cochran admits to being obsessed with the game. He never knew he would become one of the top 10 challenge threats. Although he has a lot of anxiety, he turned into a sort of therapist for the others. He is proud of how he played and owns every underhanded move he made. So bring it on.
And they do.
Cochran has changed so much from when he first played the game, Eddie says. If he's at the bar with the Three Amigos, does he sit with them? Of course, Cochran says. Before, he would have had a panic attack at the idea of walking into a bar, but now he'd join them, with two women on his arms.
For the last time, Probst gathers the votes and heads back to the future. And we're there with him. The players are all cleaned up and well-fed again. Sherri thinks she has no chance to win. Cochran is confident, but is prepared for the worst. Dawn doesn't think she'll win but she should be able to buy some new teeth.
Probst starts reading votes and one by one, it's Cochran.
See you next season.

Neil Mangicaro, Aaron Reed and Kevin Conness will dust off their originals and regroup for a Monk reunion show at 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at Alex's Plaza Restaurant and Bar, 35 N. Main St., Ashland.
Only keyboardist Thomas Mackay will be missing from the Monk lineup.
The Ashland group disbanded three years ago when its members decided to go in different musical directions. Mangicaro (guitar and bass) joined Ras Cricket and The Cultivators, Reed went with SYNRGY and Conness with LOVEBITE.
Their reunion show will feature Monk's original reggae, hip-hop and funk songs.
"Ever since we broke up, we still had a deep love for Monk and the family it created," Mangicaro says. "We've had tons of people — mostly our girlfriends — asking us to play again.
"Monk is a really good outlet for us to express ourselves authentically in music. The other bands we play in are limited to one genre, but Monk is more of a melting pot."
Cover to the show at Alex's is $5. Local reggae band The Illies will open the show. Call 541-482-8818.

After Friday's 65-54 loss to Delta, Summit sat at the bottom of the 4A Western Slope basketball standings with a 3-11 league record.
"Once again, we were in the ballgame and had three turnovers really late that cost us. It was another opportunity that we let slip by the wayside," Summit head coach Phil Tronsrue said.
Still, the team held onto hope that it could use the district tournament to its advantage.
Seeded No. 10, the team faced off with No. 7 Montrose - to no avail.
On Tuesday night on the road, the Tigers finished their season in a 53-31 loss in one of three district tournament pigtail games.
"We didn't play that well. We gave up an early lead to them," Tronsrue said, adding that Montrose had two guards, one of whom shot from the perimeter, sinking threes. The other dribbled toward the basket and when he couldn't make a shot, he dropped it off to the posts for easy baskets.
"We were down 15 at half and never could come back," Tronsrue said.
"Everyone's disappointed because we didn't play that great of a ball game," he added. "If you get beat playing your best game, you can't feel bad about yourself. But they didn't put forth their best game."
Montrose will go on to play No. 2 Palisade on Thursday.
Other face-offs included No. 6 Delta vs. No. 11 Glenwood Springs. The winner plays No. 3 Eagle Valley. No. 8 Battle Mountain plays No. 9 Montezuma-Cortez, the winner of which faces No. 1 Durango.
Rifle is seeded No. 4 and Steamboat Springs has the No. 5 slot.
It was a long shot, but five or six teams go from district tournament to state playoffs where 40-some teams play, and Tronsrue thought his squad had a shot.
"There is an opportunity to finish within one of those five or six teams," he said before the game Tuesday.
Still, Tronsrue said it's been a good year.
"We've made strides. It's because of the seniors. They've laid a nice foundation. The underclassmen need to take that and build off it," Tronsrue said, adding that much of the team that remains when the seniors leave is sophomores. That means two years to develop into a strong team.

Police say a trooper was making a traffic stop in Northampton when another car passed and he noticed several violations. He stopped the car a short time later in nearby Hatfield and found the driver wasn't licensed to drive it. A state police dog found the bags of heroin.
The four arrested people have been charged with heroin trafficking.
State police Lt. Daniel Richard says it's not unusual for heroin to be stamped with numbers, words or symbols to identify who's selling it. But he says the "Obamacare" stamp is one he hadn't heard of.

Installing Siebel Web Extension (SWE) on top of Sun Java System Web Server 7.0
By Giri Mandalika on May 17, 2009
As of today, Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 is not a certified platform to deploy Siebel 8.x enterprise on. We are working with Oracle Corporation to make this certification happen so our customers can take advantage of the performance optimizations that went into the web server release 7.0.
Meanwhile those who want to give it a try can do so with little effort. In release SJSWS 7.0, the
start/stop/restart/.. scripts were appropriately relocated to
bin directory under the virtual web server instance. The installer for Siebel 8.x Web Server Extension looks for the
start script [of the web server] under the home directory of the virtual web server instance. (because it was the default location until the release of SJSWS 7.0). The installation fails if the installer cannot find the
start script in the location it is expecting it to be.
Due to the relocation mentioned above, installation of the Siebel Web Server Extension fails at the very last step where it tries to modify the
start script with a bunch of
LD_PRELOADs so the Siebel Web Extension loads up and runs on the Sun Java System Web Server. To get around this failure, all you have to do is to create a symbolic link in the home directory of the virtual web server instance pointing to the
startserv script residing in the
bin directory.
The following example shows the necessary steps.
% pwd /export/pspp/SJWS7U5/https-siebel-pspp % ln -s bin/startserv start % ls -l start lrwxrwxrwx 1 pspp dba 13 May 17 17:01 start -> bin/startserv
Install Siebel Web Extension in the normal way. No other changes are required.
% ls -l start\* -rwxr-xr-x 1 pspp dba 4157 May 17 17:38 start -rwxr-xr-x 1 pspp dba 3456 May 17 17:38 start_.bak % mv bin/startserv bin/startserv.orig % mv start bin/startserv
Notice that the Siebel installer actually made two copies of the startup script from the symbolic link. The original
bin/startserv remained intact after the SWE installation.
Finally start the Web Server instance by running the

Before we conclude, do not forget the fact that Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 is not yet certified with Siebel 8.x release. Use the instructions mentioned in this blog post at your own risk. However if you do like to take that risk, consider installing the latest release of Sun Java System Web Server, which is SJSWS 7.0 Update 5 as of this writing.
Stay tuned for the certification news though.

Live Search in JSF
By jtb on May 08, 2009
Suppose we have list of things, or a table of things, and a search box. The list should update based on what the user types. Additionally, the search should be live, in that the table updates as the user is typing; they are not required to hit enter, click a button, or otherwise take some action.
For the first attempt at this, let's add a valueChangeListener to your inputText component.
<ice:inputText value="#{aBean.searchFilter}" valueChangeListener=#{aHandler.search}/>
The problem is that this is not triggered until the form submits. You're going to need to add some Javascript to make this happen. For the next attempt, let's hook some Javascript into the component's keyup event,
<ice:inputText value="#{aBean.searchFilter}" onkeyup="doSubmit(this)"/>
function doSubmit(element) { iceSubmitPartial( document.getElementById("form"), element, MouseEvent.CLICK ); setFocus(element); }
Note that I'm using Icefaces, and making use of their utility Javascript function icePartialSubmit() to do a "partial submit". In a nutshell, this submits only this element and ignores the rest of the form. The call to setFocus() avoids losing focus in the input after the submission (another Icefaces utility).
This solution works fine, as long as the user is a slow typer. To understand what's wrong, suppose the user (quickly) types "java".
- user types "j"
- keyup occurs for "j"
- form is submitted
- bean is updated with value "j"
- user types "a"
- response is return from #3
- input is updated with value from backing bean: "j"
The response overwrites the "a" that the user just typed. What we want to do is add a delay in the form submission. If the keyup occurs, queue a form submission. If another keyup occurs, unqueue the first form submission and queue another, etc. It's set/cancelTimeout() to the rescure for this,
function doSubmit(element) { iceSubmitPartial( document.getElementById("form"), element, MouseEvent.CLICK ); submitTimeout = null; setFocus(element); } function submitNow(element) { if (submitTimeout != null) { clearTimeout(submitTimeout); } submitTimeout = setTimeout(function(){doSubmit(element)}, 1000); }
The component binds keyup to submitNow(),
<ice:inputText value="#{aBean.searchFilter}" valueChangeListener=#{aHandler.search} onkeyup="submitNow(this)"/>
We use a delay of 1s. This still isn't perfect, because there's still a chance that the user will type something between a form submission and response. It is however much less likely considering average typing patterns.

In today's dark fantasy edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Dracosummoner compares the Game of Thrones television series to the worst tabletop role-playing game ever published. Yikes.
I think I'm losing interest in Game of Thrones. Dawn of War: Dark Crusade has better motivations for why its factions are so obsessed with conquering, and in retrospect the series isn't much more mature in how it treats women than the infamous tabletop game FATAL is. (I was already bothered by how pretty much every adult woman I've seen in the novels is either a "whore" or some kind of manipulator, but when I realized that this really wasn't that much better than what I've seen of one of the most condemned tabletop RPGs to ever exist, I think that really did it for me right there.)
The writing style seems to alternate between being somewhat interesting and being incredibly self-indulgent—just how many more pointless characters is this series going to have, just to nail down the point that life in this series goes on outside of the main "plot?" And even that basically seems like a slice-of-life approach to a generic conquest story with no goals outside of this detailed for ... pretty much anyone, except for perhaps Arya, who wanted to become a Water Dancer or whatever.
