When you neglect sales training, several negative outcomes are likely to result. One hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing! If management are not communicating down to the Sales Directors and senior salespeople what their outcomes are, then how can you expect your sales people to know what is happening? Equally if that

Required: Soil Science: Principles and Practices by R.L. Hausenbuiller, Wm. C. Brown Publishers, 1985. Denoted by "H".
Reserve: The Nature and Properties of Soils by N.C. Brady and R.R. Weil, Prentice Hall, Thirteenth Edition, 2002. Denoted by "B".
Exams will be on September 29, November 3, and on November 21. The optional cumulative final exam will be given during exam week.
1. Three examinations on lecture/textbook material. All exams will cover only material discussed since the previous exam, except as new material relates to previously tested material. The only exception is the optional CUMULATIVE final exam that will be given during finals week. The final exam will replace the lowest exam grade, not the lab exam or paper grade. Exams will be a combination of short answer and essay. Every effort should be made to take the exams. Make-up exams MUST be taken within one week or a grade of zero will be given.
2. Material covered in the labs will be on lecture exams. A cumulative lab final will be given on December 2. The lab exercises will be performed in groups of two students. Four lab reports will be due. Three will be written individually: 1) a full profile description of one of the soils we describe in the field, including interpretation of your pedon relative to the typical soil in the county (labs #3 or #9), 2) soil textural analysis (lab #4), and 3) soil survey report exercise (lab #11). These three lab reports are worth 3% each. The due dates are October 28, September 30, and November 18, respectively. Examples of lab reports will be on reserve in the library. Labs will be in the field off-campus (3, 9, 10, 12), outside on campus (2, 4b) or in the lab (1, 4a, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11). Lab reports are worth 16% of your grade.
Lab exercises 1, 4a, 5, 6, and 8 will use the group-assigned sample. A lab report worth 7% of your grade will be written combining the results and especially writing an interpretation of the data collected from these labs for your sample. The report should begin with an introduction providing a discussion of the importance of the experiments, a general methods section discussing the importance of some of the various steps, tabulated results, discussion and conclusions, indicating how the purpose was fulfilled. You should discuss the consistency of the results of the different tests (do they make sense, show similar trends, and why, etc.), where you think the sample came from and why it could or couldn't have come from the other locations, management of the soil, and so forth. This will be a GROUP lab report and will be 10 pages MAXIMUM typed.
3. A paper three to five pages in length, typed and due no later than Nov. 12 is required. The paper should involve the importance of soils in environmental science or land use. Examples include bioremediation, water movement, pesticide attenuation, effects of compaction on runoff or on soil or plant productivity. The paper must include a minimum of three refereed journal articles and have the title approved by the instructor. The title is due November 1 and can't be changed after this date. The journal articles MUST be handed in with the paper to receive credit. There will be a sign-up sheet to eliminate topic duplication. The paper MUST also be approved by the Writing Lab. Failure to get written approval (to be included with the paper) will result in a one letter grade loss. The paper MUST be proofread and spellchecked. One point will be deducted for any more than two mistakes in proofreading or spelling. Late papers will lose one grade for each day late.
4. Attendance for class and labs is required. You will have difficulty understanding the material and keeping up with it if you miss class. YOU are responsible for recording your attendance in the attendance book. You are allowed three absences. Additional ones will result in the loss of one point off your final grade.
5. There will be a number of articles to review that will be placed on reserve in the library during the semester. You will be notified of these. This material will be discussed in class and will be on exams.
6. Assignments are due on the due date. Late assignments will lose one letter grade for each week or part of a week late.
7. Grades will be evaluated as A through F based on the following criteria: A = 90-100; B = 80-89; C = 70-79; D= 60-69; F <60. Note: the final exam can replace another exam.

To learn all about the concert and the musicians, keep reading here...
Join the southwest's favorite klezmer band - THE REBBE'S ORKESTRA - for a concert of Sephardic, Mediterranean, Eastern European and Middle Eastern music, on Saturday, June 16th from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. The evening will begin with the concert which will also include folk songs in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), Arabic, Greek and Romany. Then push back the chairs for a Klezmer dance party! Simple line and circle dances (no partner needed) will be quick-taught and led by Michele Diel, who is a member of Rikud Yiddish dance troupe. The concert and dance party will take place at Winning Coffee, 111 Harvard Dr. SE (south of Central Ave. near UNM), Albuquerque, NM, 505-266-0000. Admission is $5.00 at the door: 12 and under are free.
The Rebbe's Orkestra is an Albuquerque-based ensemble that has been performing throughout the Southwest since 1996. The ensemble plays an eclectic variety of Jewish music: Klezmer (Jewish instrumental dance music of Eastern Europe), Middle-Eastern and Israeli pieces, Yiddish theater and folk songs, Sephardic (Judeo-Spanish), Spanish New Mexican, Mediterranean, Balkan, Roma (Gypsy), even Jewish Jazz & Chamber-style Jewish music. Over the years, the group has explored the ways in which Jewish people over the centuries have interacted with surrounding musical traditions to produce music which is unique and uplifting. From Spain to Iraq, Poland to the Mediterranean: The Rebbe's Orkestra plays tunes and songs as widely divergent as the geography and yet with surprisingly similar themes. The band's set for June 16th will include lots of Klezmer dance music (the group's specialty), several songs in Ladino--the ancient language of the Spanish Jews, an Andalusian mushwasha -- an ancient Arabic poem set to music, an Iraqi-Jewish instrumental piece, an Arabic classical instrumental piece, as well as songs in Yiddish, Romany and Greek. Traditional improvisational techniques called doina, taxim, and vorshpiel will be used freely in many of the band's arrangements.
The Rebbe's Orkestra's (pronounced to rhyme with "the Debbie's Orchestra") musicians are: Beth Cohen-violin, mandolin/tenor banjo/vocals; Debo Orlofsky-accordion/vocals; Randy Edmunds-guitar/ Macedonian tambura/vocals; Barbara Friedman-bass/Macedonian tambura/vocals with special guest percussionist Mary Masuk-doumbek and riq.
Beth Cohen is a well known vocalist, string musician and music teacher in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas. She has been running her own music studio in Albuquerque since 1983, teaching voice, guitar, violin/fiddle and piano to students of all ages. In 1991, Beth received her Bachelor's of Music degree in voice performance from the University of New Mexico. Since 1995, she has been the musical director and Cantorial soloist at ABQ's Congregation Nahalat Shalom where she also teaches and directs the 20-piece Community Klezmer Band, teaches Bar/Bat Mitzvah prep classes, and organizes the annual renowned Klezmer music and dance festival "Klezmerquerque". Ms. Cohen is the violin/fiddle, piano & voice teacher at Santa Fe School for the Arts and she is an experienced band and orchestra teacher. Beth began singing and accompanying her voice with the guitar when she was 7, studied jazz piano from ages 9-17, and was the recipient of many music awards and apprenticeships throughout her childhood. Growing up in a home where both parents spoke Yiddish, Beth learned to sing in Yiddish--although she has (regrettably!) never learned to speak this expressive language. Since 1996, Beth has performed with bassist Barbara Friedman in Goddess of Arno-Balkan band & from 1984-1999 she was a member of the popular Svirka-women's Balkan chorus. Beth also performs with the vocal trio Earth Angels, the folk trio Village Idioms and she has played in all kinds of ensembles from Celtic to classical & reggae to blues.
Debo Orlofsky is The Rebbe's Orkestra's newest member: 'Debo' (a.k.a. Debra Orlofsky) has been singing in and around ABQ since the late 1980's. Following a few stints in hippie-punk and goth-rock bands, Debo performed as the lead singer of Splinter Fish, a seminal alternative band on the ABQ music scene. Well-known for her powerhouse vocals and presentation, inventive lyrics and percussion, and heart-grabbing harmonizing, Debo was invited to sing with Animal Opera, a local group of "all-stars" that rocked the NM desert with African dance music. She was also part of the world beat rock band, Manna from Nowhere. Debo sings and plays accordion and piano in the rockin' country blues band, Alpha Blue, showcasing her original songs. In her own Big Rock Studio, she engineered and mixed Alpha Blue's debut CD, "Agave Summer" - a spaghetti-western/middle-eastern folk-rock opera - which was released in the summer of 2004. Debo studied classical piano as a child, picking up the accordion by accident. Knowing how little respect the accordion has had in American pop music since the guitar assumed preeminence, she tried to put it down but found it was much too tightly strapped on. After a few close encounters of the Klezmer kind, she found her way to The Rebbe's Orkestra and decided it was destiny.
Randy Edmunds is one of the original members of The Rebbe's Orkestra. He is an experienced rhythm guitarist and provides a unique texture and fullness to the band's harmonic layer. Randy's use of the guitar as a melody instrument lends an unusual flavor to klezmer music, which is often associated with reed and brass instruments. He also plays the Macedonian tambura on several of the group's Sephardic pieces, and his lyric baritone voice adds another thread to the tapestry of sound woven by the band. He studied violin as a child in his home state of Louisiana and later picked up the guitar when he attended college in Texas. Randy's musical roots lie in the American genres of old-timey, gospel, bluegrass and country-western. After discovering and learning some Yiddish folk songs from a song book, he eventually expanded his repertoire to include Israeli, Greek, Rom (Gypsy), and Balkan folk songs. Randy performs in a duo with Beth Cohen, as a guest artist with Svirka and Goddess of Arno, and was a member of Sandanski men's Balkan Chorus. He is the guitarist in the folk trio Village Idioms and he's a special guest artist in The Nahalat Shalom Community Klezmer band. Randy also works part-time as a personal care attendant for disabled people.
Barbara Friedman provides the solid foundation for the band's rhythmic drive. For over 25 years she has been singing and playing music professionally as a member of Svirka women's Balkan Chorus, Goddess of Arno, Erenler, Wired for Sound and other Middle Eastern and Balkan groups in New Mexico. An avid collector, student and performer of Eastern European music, Barbara regularly attends workshops and studies with the top musicians and ethnomusicologists from Europe and the USA. In addition to adding rhythmic solidity to the band, her bass playing adds a melodic layer to their sound: often lending a trombone-like quality to the melody line. Barbara is also skilled on the Macedonian tambura, which she plays on some of the band's Sephardic pieces and her powerful voice adds another layer to the band's dynamic sound. At Congregation Nahalat Shalom, Barbara performs in Alavados-Holy Days band and she is a special guest member of the Community klezmer band. She also works part time as a public health nurse in Albuquerque, NM.

"Elevating the World through Music and Dance"
February 02, 2007
Verestski Pass at Univeristy of Chicago Folk Festival<2 hour Yiddish dance workshop at the University of Chicago Folk Festival on Sunday 4 March from 2 to 4 pm. Accompanying the class will be the wonderful Verestski Pass (Cookie Segelstein, Josh Horowitz, and Stu Brotman) who will also be appearing in concert Saturday and Sunday nights, and giving a free klezmer music workshop earlier on Sunday. http://www.uofcfolk.org/New/home.html
In Eastern Europe, the roots of "world music" go back centuries: historically, Jews, Christians, Moslems, Rumanians, Ukrainians, and Roma played music together in this multicultural area where professional musicians had to know as many musical styles as the diverse peoples among whom they lived. Veretski Pass, a trio of veteran klezmer artists, plays Old Country Music that ranges from melodies of Medieval Poland and dances from Bessarabia, Ruthenia, and Bukovina to music originating in the Ottoman Empire -- much of which they learned from field recordings they themselves gathered.
Cookie Segelstein (Budowitz, New Haven Symphony Orchestra), Joshua Horowitz (Budowitz), and Stuart Brotman (Ellis Island Band, The Klezmorim, San Francisco Klezmer Experience, Brave Old World) synthesize raw energy and polished musicianship to produce music of unusual depth and power on a variety of traditional instruments, including violin, viola, button accordion, bass, bassetl (three stringed bass), basy (three stringed Polish folk cello), baraban (Jewish style drum), and tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).

NEW YORK, NY: October 19, 2004 � The 92nd Street Y presents three concerts featuring re-creations of the music and dance of three radically different Jewish wedding traditions: European Ashkenazic, Bukharan (originating in the area now known as Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) and Moroccan.
On Wednesday, November 10 at 8:00 p.m., the series kicks off with a re-enactment of a traditional Ashkenazi wedding, featuring music and dance that was a part of Jewish weddings in Eastern Europe throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The program bears only a passing relationship to the modern-day Ashkenazi wedding seen in Hasidic communities, which have preserved primarily the religious aspects of the wedding, but not the secular � and sometimes vaguely pagan � customs that were once common. The concert at the Y follows the course of the traditional Ashkenazi wedding ceremonies, which generally took place over several days leading up to the actual wedding. Observances began with meditative tunes for the morning of the wedding and concluded with joyful dancing for the ensuing celebration. The music is announced and punctuated throughout by the badkhn, the traditional master of ceremonies, who sets the requisite tone, ranging from dramatic to pious to humorous.
The program is performed by world-renowned traditional klezmer band Khevrisa: Zev Feldman, cimbalom (Eastern-European hammered dulcimer) and dancer; Michael Alpert, vocals, sekund violin and dancer; Steven Greenman, violin; and Stuart Brotman, double bass. Joining Khevrisa are guests Kurt Bjorling, clarinet; Deborah Strauss, violin; and dancers Joanne Borts, H�l�ne Domergue-Zilberberg and Steven Weintraub. Many of the members of Khevrisa and the gathered ensemble, notably Michael Alpert and Zev Feldman, learned the musical and dance traditions directly from those who carried it to America from the �old world.� They grew up and studied in post-Holocaust immigrant communities in the United States, where traditional Ashkenazic music and dance was practiced, preserved and handed down to the next generation.
The concert at the 92nd Street Y expands on material recorded on Khevrisa�s CD �European Klezmer Music� (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, 2000).
The concert begins with the music of the kale vechere (KAHL-uh VETCH-er-ay), the party for the bride and her friends held at the end of the Sabbath prior to the wedding. The mood of this gathering is somber, with sad songs of parting as the bride prepares to leave her family and friends for a new life with her husband. The same mood continues on the morning of the wedding, which is heralded with the dobriden, a dignified melody in 3/4 played by the violin and cimbalom. As the day progresses, the wedding band marches through the street, gathering guests to the wedding with khasene gehat (�they are married�), and close relatives are greeted upon arrival by tunes such as the mazeltov or by serious modal improvisations known as shteyger. The cathartic moment of the wedding ceremony is the bride�s lament, known as kale basetsn or kale baveynen (seating or bemoaning of the bride), where the badkhn paints a somber picture of the life of a married woman, singing prayer-like tunes in a minor key, while the violin and cimbalom �answer� with improvisations in different but complementary styles. The khupe marsh (canopy march) follows, a tune that leads guests to the wedding canopy, where the actual betrothal ceremony takes place. The concert features two versions of the khupe marsh � one composed by violinist Steven Greenman, and the second a tune played by the Lepianski family of cimbalists in Belarus. After the rabbi sings the wedding blessings and marries the couple, the groom traditionally breaks a glass to signify the end of the ceremony, and the somber mood is broken, switching instantaneously into festive shouts of mazeltov! (good luck!). This moment closes the first half of the concert.
The second half opens with the ritual music and dancing of the wedding feast, in which the fathers-in law, elder relatives, rabbi, and other honored guests dance to slow elaborate tunes. Among the most famous of these dances is the broygez tants (�dance of anger�) between the two mothers-in-law; in this mime-dance, one woman generally acts offended while the other attempts to mollify her, and the scene ends with a sholem tants (�dance of peace�), in which they become reconciled. Following these communal dances, music is performed for guests seated at tables. This music consists mostly of solos or duets by the violin and cimbalom or clarinet and bass, and served as a way to honor special guests at the wedding as well as an opportunity for the best klezmorim to showcase new tunes. The concert � and the wedding � then proceeds to dancing among the guests, the centerpiece of which is the sher, an elaborate mixed (male-and-female) contra-dance based on European court dancing of the 17th and 18th centuries, but identified strongly as a Jewish dance. The shers performed in the concert include the oldest example of the form that is known today, composed by the Moldavian fiddler Selig Lemisch in the mid-19th century, as well as a sher composed by Zev Feldman in 2000.
The sher reflects the longstanding tension in the Jewish wedding tradition between secular and religious elements. Artistic director Zev Feldman says, �this dance has been part of our folklore for 500 years, and the rabbis were condemning it for 500 years.� In the last 50 years � especially in the post-World-War-II Hasidic and orthodox communities � the tension between secular and even pagan customs once found in Jewish weddings have given way to more of a split between secular and religious traditions. In secular Jewish communities, the balance has shifted in the opposite direction, with many of the traditional wedding customs being largely eclipsed by primarily secular practices drawn from the surrounding culture.
This series was developed by Hanna Arie-Gaifman, director of the 92nd Street Y Tisch Center for the Arts, and ethnomusicologist Walter Zev Feldman, who serves as artistic director of the series.
On Wednesday, December 8, at 8:00 p.m., the Jewish Weddings series continues with a Jewish wedding ceremony from the former BUHKARAN EMIRATE (today�s Uzbekistan and Tajikistan). The ceremonies combine Iranian and Turkish traditions and include singing, dancing, drumming and improvised verses in Tajik and Uzbek. The performance is led by Tofakhon Pinkhasova, the undisputed master among the current generation of sozandas. Sozandas are women considered to have almost shamanic powers; their lineage often goes back several generations Featured musicians include members of the ensemble Shashmaqam, a Bukharan instrumental group based in Queens.
On Thursday, February 3, at 8:00 p.m., the MOROCCAN HENNA & WEDDING takes center stage. The Charles Edry Ensemble, a leading Moroccan Jewish wedding ensemble based in Montreal, performs a program featuring music of the Judeo-Arabic tradition of Casablanca and other Moroccan cities. Songs of the Henna ceremony held for the bride prior to the wedding will be performed in addition to the instrumental, vocal and dance music of the wedding itself.
Khevrisa was founded in 1998 by Walter Zev Feldman and Steven Greenman, Khevrisa features two of the central figures of the Klezmer Revival�the vocalist, fiddler and dancer Michael Alpert and the bassist Stuart Brotman. Khevrisa performs klezmer music of 19th and early 20th century European klezmorim on the original klezmer instrumentation of violins, cimbalom and bass. Khevrisa�s repertoire also includes new compositions by Greenman and Feldman in traditional style. Khevrisa has performed at the Festival of Jewish Culture in Cracow, at the Pfingskonzerte in Ittingen, at the Concert Gebow in Amsterdam, the Vredenburg in Utrecht, and at Symphony Space in New York. Its CD European Klezmer Music was issued by Smithsonian Folkways in 2000.
Walter Zev Feldman is a leading researcher in both Ottoman Turkish and Jewish music, and a performer on the klezmer dulcimer, cimbal (tsimbl). During the mid-1970s he and Andy Statman studied with Dave Tarras and were two of the creators of the klezmer revival; at that time Feldman reintroduced the dulcimer cimbal into klezmer music with his classic LP Jewish Klezmer Music (1979). Today he performs on the cimbal with the group Khevrisa and elsewhere. Having grown up with traditional Ashkenazic, Greek and Armenian dance, during the 1970s he researched and taught Turkish folkdance. Today Feldman is a teacher and performer of Ashkenazic dance, leading workshops in the U.S., Canada, England,Germany and Israel. He regularly teaches at the Klezmer Wochen in Weimar and at KlezKanada.
Feldman is a fellow of the Center for Jewish Music Research at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and is a co-editor of the Medimuses Project for Modal Musics of the Mediterranean for the EnChordais School in Thessaloniki, Greece. He recently co-produced the CD Tanburi Isak with the Bezmara Ensemble of Istanbul for EnChordais. In 2003 he curated the concert series �The Revival of Klezmer and Yiddish Music in New York� at the CUNY Graduate Center. He is the artistic director of the current series �Music and Dance of the Jewish Wedding� at the 92nd Street Y. Next in the series is �Bukharan Wedding,� Wednesday, December 8, 2004 and the final program is the �Moroccan Henna & Wedding,� Thursday, February 3, 2005.

Love these ideas!!! I'm not a creative person in the kitchen and have trouble coming up with ways to cook vegetarian. These videos help. Thanks, SherrySherry Haney - 2012-08-19 12:02:55
The videos that I reviewed so far are very useful. I would like to request a video on stir frying cauliflower such that it is crispy on the outside and gently soft on the inside. The master chef at Lotus Vegetarian in Chantilly VA accomplishes this feat but other chefs must know the secret.Karen M - 2012-02-15 10:42:35
Wonderful video re: roasted vegetables - thank you.Ben and Carla Fischer - 2011-12-07 12:54:45

I'm working on a MPC8248 based custom made board. I used u-boot 1.1.4
as boot loader and a Linux 2.4.18 kernel. The rather old kernel is due
to compatibility with an older MPC8xx based board and custom
implementations in the kernel.
The boot loader is installed in flash and the kernel is uploaded via
Ethernet to SDRAM at 0x00500000 (SDRAM physical base address is
0x00000000). The control is handed over from the boot loader to the
kernel and the basic settings are made. When the kernel has configured
the MMU (SDRAM address translation to 0xC0000000) it call rfi (in
arc/ppc/kernel/head.S) and the kernel stops or crashes. As far as I can
see the SRR0 contains the correct address and he BAT settings are also
correct according to the datasheet.
Any suggestions on what to look for?

This is 40 is a "sort-of sequel" to the comedy hit Knocked Up, starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann as a married couple dealing with impending middle age. But does it match up to its predecessor?
Yes, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann return to the roles of Pete and Debbie, as they both deal with everyday life of marriage, raising children and turning the big four-oh.
While the film doesn't reflect on the real life marriage of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, it does touch on the day to day issues they face.
And Judd's wife isn't the only one to star in the film. The couple's daughter's play Pete and Debbie's children in the movie too.
Rudd and Mann's certainly share great onscreen chemistry and while the film doesn't have the laugh out loud appeal of Knocked Up and is a bit on the long side, the tried and tested cast and witty dialogue will likely appeal to fans of Apatows previous hits.
While the film support a more 'adult' theme, its awkward scenes and funny dialogue will appeal to fans of Apatow's previous hits. Make sure to watch the video above to find out more about the film!

First and foremost I'm a writer.
I play piano, go on long walks, play PC games such as Skyrim, Crysis, Civilisation etc. Reading is my preferred activity although I loved movies such as The Dark Crystal, Star Wars, The Labyrinth, Fantasia, The Neverending Story, Willow, Alice in Wonderland, The Princess Bride, Jack the Giant Killer, The Chronicles of Narnia and Watership Down. It makes sense then that my genre of choice is fantasy fiction. The flexibility, the ability to create everything wholly and completely by twisting our already existing worlds, that's what impassions me most about fantasy.
Now, I gravitate towards all types of fantasy movies, and even anime. The works of Hayao Miyazaki are a constant source of inspiration. The way he brings beauty and feeling to animated pictures is breath-taking, and I hope one day I can inspire HALF of that level of feeling through words in my readers. Some of my favourite animes include: Spirited Away, Ponyo, From up on Poppy Hill, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighour Totoro, Moribito, 12 Kingdoms, Claymore, Blood +, Death Note etc.
I sometimes use music to inspire mood. 'Wonder' is the emotion I work best with in fantasy writing, but sometimes my characters need darker evocations so in those moments I might listen to Evanescence and Nine Inch Nails, classical piano or violin music (preferably cello). But I also listen to The Presets, George, Muse, George Winston, David Nevue, Imogen Heap, Jennifer Thomas, Pendulum, Massive Attack, lots of vocal trance and basically any solo classical music I can get my hands on. I play the piano which is the instrument that affects me most in terms of manipulating my mood.
I hope you enjoy reading my stories and visit my website at www.kjcolt.com where you can find out more about my published novels.

Return of El Niño could lead to flooding
Elaine Brass
15th July 2009
American scientists have announced the arrival of El Niño, the climate phenomenon that has a significant influence on global weather, ocean conditions and marine fisheries.
El Niño, which arises from the periodic warming of central and eastern tropical Pacific waters, can bring unpredictable weather to the UK, such as flooding – leading to social and economic disruption and costs. It can also influence summer weather, too, bringing much warmer conditions. The phenomenon occurs on average every two to five years and typically lasts about 12 months.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the American federal agency has noted that sea surface temperatures along the equatorial Eastern Pacific, as of July 1, are at least one degree above average, which is a sign of El Niño. NOAA expects this El Niño to continue developing during the next several months, with further strengthening possible. The event is expected to last through winter 2009-10.
"Advanced climate science allows us to alert industries, governments and emergency managers about the weather conditions El Niño may bring so these can be factored into decision-making and ultimately protect life, property and the economy," said Jane Lubchenco, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.
In the main, developing countries bear the full brunt of El Niño, such as the El Niño of 1997/8, which caused over 2,000 deaths and global damages of approximately £20 billion. However, El Niño can bring unpredictable weather to the UK, such as flooding across the North East in August 2002 with homes and businesses being evacuated.
The UK Met Office said the emerging higher sea temperatures over the Pacific Ocean created by El Niño can also bring hotter conditions to the UK – something that has already happened at times this summer.
Dr Adam Scaife of the UK Met Office, Hadley Centre, said: "El Nino is one of the factors that can influence the UK summer weather. The emerging higher sea temperatures over the Pacific Ocean can produce a weaker westerly flow from the Atlantic Ocean and a greater tendency for easterly winds from the continent, which can bring very warm conditions to the UK."
Earlier this year, the Met Office predicted that 2009 was set to be one of the top five warmest on record, in part due to El Niño. It said the global temperature for 2009 was expected to be 14.44 °C. The warmest year on record is 1998, which was 14.52 °C, a year dominated by an extreme El Niño.

Brewton-Parker's national accreditation reaffirmed
MOUNT VERNON -- Brewton-Parker College's national accreditation was reaffirmed without stipulation for 10 years by the Southern Association Commission on Colleges during the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' recent meeting in San Antonio, Texas.
"For the past four years, members of our faculty, staff, administration and trustees have worked diligently to assure the college's continued accreditation," said Dr. David Smith, Brewton-Parker's president.
"Crisis events in our recent past made this process more difficult, but our effort have been rewarded with the commission's decision."
The Southern Association accredits colleges and schools from the Atlantic Ocean west to New Mexico and from Kentucky to South America. About 300 schools were considered for reaffirmation at the San Antonio meeting.
Accreditation is required for students to transfer credits or receive federal and state financial assistance.

Can Bike Riding Up Prostate Cancer Risk? – MPR
Just under 1% of the men overall reported being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Those who biked the most, >8.5 hours a week, were much more likely to have prostate cancer than the other men. Of the 498 men who biked the most, 17 said they had prostate cancer (3.5%). Of those who biked the least, three out of 511 (0.5%) said they had prostate cancer, the findings showed.
However, the findings aren't definitive, and they conflict with previous research on impotence and infertility. Lead author Milo Hollingworth, MBBS, a research associate at University College London, acknowledged to HealthDay that the findings are "difficult to interpret." He stressed that "men shouldn't worry about increasing their risk of prostate cancer by cycling. Men should cycle as much as they did before. The benefits for your heart, lungs, whole body, and mental health are much more important."
Yah, that's about what I figured.

Stones' Keith is grandfather again (From Congleton Guardian)
Stones' Keith is grandfather again
5:35pm Friday 7th February 2014 in © Press Association 2014
Rolling Stones star Keith Richards has become a grandfather once again.
The guitarist, aged 70, welcomed a new addition to his family when daughter Angela Richards gave birth to Otto Reed.
She and partner Graham Whitney already have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Ava Melody.
Rock wild man Keith, who now has five grandchildren, said: "I couldn't be happier for them."
His son Marlon - a pal of Johnny Depp, who plays Keith's son in the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies - has three children.

The tater tot is an extension of a "shart" which was popularized by the movie, Along Came Polly, which is when someone thinks they need to fart, and when they do, a little shit comes out. The tater tot is when one has to shit so badly that they can not hold it and they shit their pants in the car. Now this is no ordinary dump, this is a full blown toilet clogging, shit on the bathroom floor, useless to the plunger, rotorotter problem. Thus, this shit in the car gets everywhere, meaning all over the seat, the door, on the floor, and even a little on the steering wheel. Now one could ask is this possible, and if one has experienced a true tater tot, they will know it is possible.
The other day my friend did a tater tot, it got every where. It took all day to clean, and we had to throw away 3 pairs of shoes and the driver seat car mat.

I was sure I had that point lost, but my opponent saved me by tater totting it into the net.

Tater Tots: noun. A traditional American frozen food, supposedly made of potatoes, nicknamed Taters. Tater tots are basically fried minced potato in a tiny cylinder form, and then frozen, bought at the store, and baked in an oven. :)
I had tater tot casserole for dinner last night. I love it! XD

I don't understand. Aren't these 10 *different* clients? If so,
aren't these 10 links to completely different IP nodes? How will
routing work if you have a single IP interface that goes to distinct
I can think of two scenarios here. The first is that these aren't
distinct clients, and you've got 10 links between two nodes. In this
case, Multilink PPP (MP) would work, but I'd caution against the use
of MP on virtual links. The latency of the overall link is the
*worst* of all latencies on the member links, and the loss rate is
(also roughly) the sum of all loss rates, and that's usually
unacceptable on virtual links.
The second scenario is that all these clients are proxy ARP'd and you
want to collect them into some sort of logical IP subnet. Even then,
I'm not sure the question makes sense. Suppose you have two servers
for load spreading or redundancy: what would you do then? It sounds
sort of remotely feasible if you have kernel source code for your
operating system and a *LOT* of spare time on your hands, but probably
not the most usable solution.
(In particular, what would you do about the aggregated MTUs?)

That depends on the system you're using. You didn't mention what sort
of system you're using, nor what software, nor what scaling issues
you're concerned about.
It's probably not possible to answer the question as asked.

Short Introduction About Makkah
Mecca ( /ˈmɛkə/; Arabic: مكة, Makkah, pronounced [ˈmækkæ]) is a city in the Hejaz and the capital of Makkah province in Saudi Arabia. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during Hajj period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah.
As the birthplace of Muhammad (S.A.W) and a site of the composition of the Quran, Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims. The Hijaz was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger empires. It was absorbed into Saudi Arabia in 1925. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure. Because of this, Mecca has lost many thousand-year-old buildings and archaeological sites.Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj.As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the Muslim world, although non-Muslims remain prohibited from entering the city.

Hadith About Makkah
Abu Tharr I said, "O Messenger of Allaah, which Masjid was built on the Earth first?"He said, " Al-Masjid al-Haraam " I asked, "Then which?" He replied, " Al-Masjid al-Aqsaa " I then asked, "How much time was between the two?" He said, "Forty years, " and he added," Wherever you are when the time arrives for Salaah , perform it there because doing so is best.
Bukhari, Muslim
Abu Hurayrah : The Prophet (PBUH) said, " A journey should not be undertaken except to three mosques: this Masjid of mine, al-Masjid al-Haraam , and Masjid al-Aqsaa .
Ibn Maajah , Ahmad
Jaabir : the Messenger of Allah said, " One Salah in my Masjid is better than one thousand Salah anywhere else except al-Masjid al-Haraam . One Salah in al-Masjid al- Haraam is better than one hundred thousand Salah anywhere else."

Having read the WhatCulture article pitting American sitcom juggernauts Friends and The Big Bang Theory against each other, I wanted to do an equivalent from across the pond.
It seemed right to use The Royle Family (which started in 1998) to represent England and the timeless Father Ted (which, believe it or not, ended in 1998) to face-off against each other, due to the high standard of comedy they provided.
Both provided characters, storylines, catchphrases and laughs that will live long in the memory to anybody who sat down on an evening with a cup of tea to enjoy what they had to offer.
I'm going to directly compare the characters, the cast of actors, the cultural impact, the laughs provided and the overall popularity of the two, in order to settle on an overall winner.
The Royle Family's characters have become pretty legendary, but the limited setting for the series (99% of it is filmed inside the Royle household) has meant that expanding the range and roster of characters isn't so easy. So, in addition to the regulars (Jim, Barbara, Denise, Dave, Antony and Nana), the writers are limited to bringing in visiting neighbours (Joe, Cheryl), family friends (Twiggy, Darren) and new partners (Emma, Saskia).
Father Ted, however, is constantly roving around all of Craggy Island and the neighbouring islands, increasing the possibility of bumping in to a much larger range of weird and wonderful characters. The regular trio of priests (Ted, Dougal and Jack) are always joined by the housekeeper Mrs Doyle, and they make a wonderful quartet with a great dynamic, but the character roster stretches much further than just these four. We have the foul-mouthed Bishop Brennan, Ted's bitter rival Dick Byrne, the hyperactive Noel Furlong (portrayed by future TV royalty in Graham Norton), the unbearably boring Paul Stone, the unfortunate Larry Duff, John and Mary O'Leary (a married couple who hate each other), Tom the village idiot and many more.
All things considered, the wider range of characters and the more likely possibility of encountering new characters whilst out and about gives Father Ted the win here.
Winner: Father Ted.
