EAST LIVERPOOL - Some officials believe the city was shut out of a county demolition project for political reasons, while county officials say the city is protesting prematurely.
City Planning Director William Cowan sent a letter to county commissioners May 30 voicing his concerns about the Moving Ohio Forward grant program and a bid packet distributed by the county Development Department.
Cowan said he was not aware the final selection of properties slated for demolition had been made, learning "by chance" when Deputy Service-Safety Director Dan Galeoti informed him.
Galeoti, who owns a demolition company, received a packet offering his company the opportunity to bid on the demolition project, and the packet included a list of 44 properties.
Cowan asked for a packet and discovered no city properties were included on the list, nor were any properties in Salem, Wellsville, Salineville, Hanoverton and a few other communities, although each had submitted lists of properties they wanted to see demolished under the grant program.
Included in the bid packet, with the number of properties to be demolished, were Columbiana (3); Leetonia (4); Center Township (3); Liverpool Township (4); Middleton Township (6); Salem Township (1); East Palestine (4); Butler Township (5); Knox Township (1); Madison Township (5); Perry Township (3); and West Township (5).
Although concerned the city had not been included, Cowan said he is most concerned that those properties earmarked for demolition in the bid packet do not meet his interpretation of the program's intent.
"Being familiar with Moving Ohio guidelines, many of the properties that you have approved for demolition are far removed from the purpose of the program, and that is to rid neighborhoods of blighted abandoned residential properties caused by, or that were part of, the housing bubble collapse that occurred in 2007 and 2008," Cowan wrote.
After speaking with the Attorney General, Cowan said they concurred that the program's guidance documents are "vague and not specific enough to prohibit you from including seemingly ineligible structures in your demolition packet."
Nonetheless, he said those choices left him with unanswered questions, such as whether demolition orders been issued on the properties, whether volunteer demolition agreements had been signed for them, how the program was "sold" to those who did sign the agreements, and whether selection of properties was politically motivated.
The county was awarded a $500,000 grant to assist county communities to rid blighted properties from their neighborhoods, and Cowan said the homes submitted by the city meet the intent of the program and are "in just as bad condition, if not worse, than those shown in the bid document photos," adding, "The only difference between the houses selected by the county and those submitted by (the city) is our vacant dilapidated houses are usually and literally an arm's length away from an occupied house."
He emphasized that two of the city's most recent fires started in vacant dilapidated structures and spread to adjoining properties, resulting in two fires destroying six houses.
Cowan offered a lengthy list of the properties chosen and why he believed each does not meet the criteria set down by the grant program.
Among those are an outbuilding on Pittsburgh Street in Columbiana that he said appears to be at the rear of an estate; a vacant house located on 126 acres of land in Center Township purchased for $451,300 and not abutting any other property; a building on Butler Township Trustees property adjacent to their garage on Slater Road which was just purchased in March; a building with no abutting structures on the old Crockery City Farm of 134 acres; a structure on Goshen Road owned by a man who owns 40 other parcels in the county and who live in a $215,000 home; and three separate parcels owned by the same man in West Township, including an abandoned farm house in a rural setting with no abutting residential properties.
Cowan also listed several properties included in the bid packet he believes do meet the criteria, all of which are in residential areas, abutting other structures. The city had already performed title searches and finished all legal requirements for the properties they submitted for consideration.
"It's very bothersome to me," Cowan said about the situation, saying he was advised by Greater Ohio Policy Center officials that they depend upon local authorities to make sure all properties chosen meet the program's intent.
"The purpose of the project is not to tear down vacant houses on farmland," Cowan insisted.
At this week's City Council meeting, Councilman Sherrie Curtis mentioned Cowan's letter, saying he had "done a lot of work on this" and was upset about the outcome.
Councilman Ray Perorazio suggested that, perhaps, the city was left off the list due to retaliation over recently winning a $6.2 million lawsuit against Buckeye Water District, which ended up involving county commissioners.
Commissioner Mike Halleck said Tuesday the lawsuit "has nothing to do with it, although that would cross people's minds."
Halleck added, "I think their concern is premature. Perhaps they would have been better served to have a meeting in the commissioners' office. Someone went to an awful lot of trouble and wasted a lot of gas to find these properties," referring to the detailed list in Cowan's letter.
Both he and Commissioner Jim Hoppel and Development Department Director Pam Dray said there is another round of demolitions that will be funded, and the city will be included in those.
"There's a whole other list to come. It's guaranteed (East Liverpool) will be listed," Hoppel said, adding that each entity had the opportunity to choose which properties it wanted demolished, since they "know their areas better than we do."
Halleck pointed out, "There really are no criteria" properties must meet to be considered.
Of the $500,000 available for demolition, $150,000 has already been spent on asbestos abatement, and Dray said another 23 are being tested.
"There's no doubt East Liverpool will be included in another round. We did not exclude East Liverpool. We just couldn't do them all at the same time," Dray said, although Cowan said Tuesday that, in speaking with state officials, he was advised additional funding is not guaranteed.
Commissioners are expected to award contracts for this first list of demolitions at their meeting today.

When does the workday begin?
That's the question at the heart of a wage-and-hour lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Camden on behalf of seven General Electric Co. service technicians - the people who drive repair vans to homes to fix people's washers, stoves, and other GE appliances.
General Electric starts the clock when the service techs arrive at their first repair assignment in the morning, the suit says.

HUGHESVILLE - Hughesville Borough Council wants to ensure that everyone who needs help in an emergency will get help.
"People who need help to get in and help to get out should contact the borough office," Mayor Walter Reed said at Monday's borough council meeting. "If something happens we want to help them."
The borough is updating its emergency management plan, and anyone who needs help in case of emergency, such as the flooding that occurred during Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011, can be put on the list for assistance, Reed said.
Anyone who wants to be added to the assistance list can contact the borough office at 584-2041
In other business, after further review council agreed that the alleys and streets reviewed by the state Department of Transportation will need resurfacing.
The list includes Academy Street, between Spruce and Main streets, and Walnut Street, between Main and Railroad streets.
"We'll need about $49,000 for alley repairs and about $35,000 on the street side," Council President Jeff Berger said.
Council agreed that any action on a paving plan should be held until natural gas company representatives can be consulted to see if any gas lines are to be laid this summer.
"I'd hate to fix the streets and have them dug up again," Councilwoman Mary Burns said.
Finally, council decided to send the case of a long-dilapidated shed on West Fourth Street to the local district judge after neighbors complained.
"There's a mad possum in the shed and the shed's falling down," Berger said. "(The neighbor) chased it with a shovel and ran it into their garage and that's where it's living now."

Young, gifted and caring
Chester Francis-Jackson, Contributor
My dears, sometimes if you listen to the pundits and the disgruntled social classes, you could come away from their conversations believing that, indeed, there's no hope for or redeeming virtue in or about Jamaica. Many posit that the country has lost its moral compass and sense of national direction.
Now, depending on who's doing the talking, it all started going to pot when Jamaica became an independent nation. Others blame the political, social and cultural undertakings spearheaded by the Michael Manley administration of the 1970s, while others of faith ascribe their version of the decline to the godlessness that has overtaken the country and its people.
For all the prediction of gloom and doom, however, there are others who diligently go about their daily lives, and in doing so, manage to be their brother's keeper.
Indeed, one such group is operating under the auspices of the Rotary Club of Liguanea Plains. This club is unique in that the organisation that received its operational charter in 1995, with Professor the Hon Errol Morrison as its charter president, now boasts a modest membership of just under 40. Unlike most other service clubs whose membership boasts a retinue of the nearly dead or self-important fuddy-duddies, the Rotary Club of Liguanea Plains boasts a membership of mostly young entrepreneurs and young professionals.
One such person is the very charming and oh-so-fab Novlet Green, who works as an administrative director to one of the largest growing businesses in Kingston. She was installed as the club's president in a gala banquet and reception at the Pavilion, Terra Nova Hotel, recently.
The fab ceremony was attended by club members, family, friends and colleagues of the then president-elect.
Indeed my dears, what you might never hear on the cocktail circuit is the wave of volunteerism and sense of caring by many Jamaicans away from the glare of the flashbulbs of the cameras. Indeed, the new face of volunteerism is of the young as they too seek to make their mark and contribution to the development of the nation through its greatest resource - its people!
Amid the sips and spills, and the fabulous Keisha Patterson in cabaret dishing out some all-time faves from the divas of yesteryear, it all made for a fabulous do and then some!
Among those in attendance were the esteemed Professor Errol Morrison, who was the masterful master of ceremony; past Assistant Governor Clarence Clarke; Assistant Governor Ruth Palmer; outgoing President Nadia Mitchell; past Presidents Winston Barnes and Captain Astley Jones; Honorary consul of the Netherlands and real estate developer, Robert Cartade; the fabulous Dr Kurdell Espinosa; Dr Perceval Bahado Singh; Dr Cliff Riley of the University of Technology; attorney-at-law Manley Nicholson; Kadean Steele of Jamaica Money Market Brokers; the affable entrepreneur Donovan L. G. Brown; the lovely Pauline Edie; the erstwhile human resources and sports marketing consultant, Robert Stephenson; the affable Jermaine Deans of PanCaribbean Financial Services; Leighton McKnight, partner, PwC; president of Shipping Association, Roger Hinds, and the fabulous Marisa Benain, director of culture in the culture ministry; Trevor Riley, general manager of Shipping Association of Jamaica; the lovely Dena Davis Lennox and Yvonne Aquart; Sydney Lowrie; the lovely Sandra Josephs; Philbert Perry of Mayberry Investments; Christine Gittens; Lloyd Spear; and the charming Michelle Meeks-Davis; plus several scores others.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be called upon to get more deeply involved in the fight to save the smallmouth bass fishery on the Susquehanna River in a resolution the Pennsylvania Board of Fish and Boat Commissioners will be asked to vote on when they meet on Thursday
In the resolution, which was introduced Wednesday by Commissioner Leonard Lichvar and passed by the board's Fisheries Committee for consideration by the entire board, DEP and EPA will be petition "to immediately expand ongoing efforts to find the sources and causes of pollution that are contributing to the demise of the Susquehanna's smallmouth fishery and restore this national treasure to its former healthy status."
Although some long-time river anglers and guides were pointing to declines in the Susquehanna's prized smallmouth bass population long before the summer of 2005, that was the point at which biologists and many anglers noted unusual numbers of distressed or dead, juvenile bass in the river.
Various studies of river conditions have been conducted since that time, pointing to contributing factors like disease, river flow, water temperatures, pollution and, most recently, a high incidence of chemically altered male smallmouth bass carrying eggs.
However, the many agencies involved in the effort have yet to positively confirm a smoking gun.
Lichvar said he introduced the resolution "to put more focus on an issue that is already being focused on by other agency, to bring that much more emphasis on a real problem that needs real solutions."
Bill Reichert, conservation director for District 3 of the Pennsylvania Bass Federation and a regular at meeting of the commission and meetings about the Susquehanna for many years, welcomed Lichvar's resolution.
He said, "I was very glad that the (fish and boat commissioners) went that extra mile the last couple years. They put the money up that DEP should have been the last couple years. They took the lead
"The easy way out would have been to just pass a regulation for catch and release (of bass on the Susquehanna River). That would have been avoiding their duties. You need to keep focused on the problem, without satisfying everyone with something that has no effect on the real problem."
Commissioner Robert Bachman, one of the Fisheries Committee members who voted unanimously to send the resolution forward to the whole board today, acknowledged that "we've raised an issue here today."
However, he asked, what additional steps will the Fish and Boat Commission take in relation to the problems in the Susquehanna?
Leroy M. Young Jr., director of the commission's Bureau of Fisheries, said the agency will be organizing a new smallmouth bass working group later this year.

Georges St-Pierre performed as expected at UFC 158. Though he didn't hand Nick Diaz a brutal beating, the welterweight champion was dominant for five rounds en route to victory.
The Canadian has now won 10 consecutive UFC title fights and is moving closer to a superfight with middleweight champion Anderson Silva. However, for now, it appears another defense of his belt will be next against Johny Hendricks.
Hendricks also won on Saturday, beating former interim champion Carlos Condit in a Fight of the Night performance. On such an impressive run, Hendricks can no longer be denied a shot at the 170-pound championship.
From the main card to the Facebook prelims, UFC 158 was a big night for the welterweight division.
Looking beyond the 170-pound class, though, let's take a look at the best and worst from the entire event.

AddersAdders Using Rods
From antiquity, mathematicians have known that one can represent numbers by lengths. To find the sum of two numbers, one can use two rulers that slide next to one another, assuming the rulers are long enough. In 1700, the Frenchman Claude Perrault suggested that one could represent each digit in numbers to be summed by a separate sliding stick. Another Frenchman, C. de Caze, actually built such an instrument.
The Smithsonian collections include several models of adders submitted to the United States Patent Office. Some of these represented numbers by the length of movable rods. Another rod-type adder, invented by Clarence E. Locke of Kensett, Iowa, was the first American-made adder to sell successfully for several years.
"Adders - Adders Using Rods" showing 1 items.
Fowler Adder Patent Model
- Description
- Some 19th-century Americans earned their keep as inventors and patent agents. One of them was George B. Fowler, inventor of this adder.
- This U.S. patent model has a wooden frame with slots for 8 sliding bars. The frame is covered on the left and the right with black zinc plates. These hold the bars in place and also fold over the left and right edges of the device to form the sides. Each bar has a series of regularly spaced holes. The wooden pieces that form the slots are stamped from right to left 1 to 9. Numbers are entered by moving the bars from left to right. Totals are visible on the back of the device. There is no carry mechanism.
- According to U.S. Census records, Fowler was born in Long Island in about 1834 or 1835. In 1863, when he patented this device, he listed himself as a resident of Chicago, Illinois. By 1864 he had settled in New York City, and at the end of the decade he was a patent agent in Brooklyn.
- This small adder, patented July 14, 1863, was the subject of Fowler's first patent (#39222). He went on to patent a variety of other devices, including a clothes and hat hook (#40923, December 15, 1863), wood-splitters (#53289, March 20, 1866), a game-box for ten-pins (#107030, September 6, 1870), a wagon-jack (#113285, April 4, 1871), an eggbeater and mixer (#256310, April 11, 1882), a picture cord and hook hanger (#357312, February 8, 1887), and an improved version of his adder (#432266, July 15, 1890).
- Production models of Fowler's instrument survive. Fowler charged $5.00 for the adder. He garnered testimonials from lumber dealers, bookkeepers, and insurance companies, and publicized the instrument in at least one circular and in Scientific American. Correspondence from 1863 suggests that Fowler hoped to find agents who would pay substantial sums to market his machine, but there is no indication that this occurred.

Hi all:
I am trying to calculate perimeter of regions in binary image using matlab. I am using the following code:
perimeter_stats = regionprops(binary_image,'Perimeter');
allPerimeter= [perimeter_stats.Perimeter];
The problem is in the results. The image contains large regions but the calculated perimeter is small (e.g. 3.2092). Can anyone help me in getting the right values of perimeter?
Well you did something wrong. I doubt that the mean of allPerimeter is 3.2092 pixels. Why don't you list what allPerimeter is so I can see it. I would think that the minimum a perimeter could be is 1 pixel, but it's typically in the hundreds or thousands, not 3 unless your binary image is just a single dot.
Did you notice the 1.0e003 in there? You multiply that by the numbers. This is not related to regionprops - that is how all of MATLAB works. So the actual perimeters are [3209.2, 802.9, 992.9, 189.5, etc. These are quite reasonable numbers. There is no problem at all.
Many thanks for your clarification
So did that answer your question? Are you ready to mark this as "Answered", or is it still not solved for you?

Not a montage of slightly condescending geek speeches, Ted is something far worse. It wasn't screened for critics by press deadlines. It should not be screened by anyone.
WW Critic's Score: D-
Contempt fuels the comedy of Seth MacFarlane. He's disdainful toward his own meal ticket, the Simpsons rip-off Family Guy. He sneers at other performers: His new talking-bear movie Ted has the gall to shit-talk Razzie winners before it manages to land a single joke of its own. Most of all, MacFarlane—Ted's writer, director and vocal star—bullies any member of the audience who dares take offense to his putatively outrageous poon-'n'-minstrel humor. Ted only values a joke if it makes people uncomfortable—never mind whether it's funny, or if it even makes any sense. (Talking bear to Norah Jones: "Thanks for 9/11.") It may be the first feature-length movie to exist primarily as an act of trolling.
Yet somehow this sniggering abortion manages to fail at even this meager goal. The bear (voice by Peter Griffin, body by Snuggle Fabric Softener) is racist, sexist and forgettable. Mark Wahlberg joins, in raging fetal-alcohol Masshole mode, and the combination suggests an episode of Unhappily Ever After... hosted by Jeff Dunham. Family Guy is notorious for mistaking a pop-culture reference for a joke about said pop-culture reference, but in Ted the non sequiturs arrive slower, and stay forever. It opens with a narrator describing the fate of former child stars: "Eventually, nobody gives a shit." Seth MacFarlane, your "eventually" is calling. R.
Ted opens today at area multiplexes.

CBNNews.com - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a virtual unknown less than a week ago, stepped into the national spotlight to make an historic acceptance speech as the GOP's nominee for Vice President of the United States, Wednesday night.
Palin's speech was perhaps the most anticipated speech to be given by a vice presidential candidate in recent history. She is the first woman to be selected for the position for the Republican party. Watch Sarah Palin's entire speech here.
For more insight into Palin's speech, watch CBN News Political Reporter David Brody and Regent University School of Government Dean Charles Dunn.
Despite a frenzy of media criticism, Palin came out swinging for Sen. John McCain and against her critics in her primetime speech at the Republican National Convention.
She began her speech by introducing her family, including her 18-year-old son Track, who will deploy to Iraq in September, and her four-month old son Trig, who has Down Syndrome.
When she mentioned that she was just a small-town hockey mom, a portion of the crowd cheered, holding up signs that said, 'Hockey Moms for McCain-Palin"
"I love hockey moms," Palin quipped. "You know they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pittbull. Lipstick."
Palin has has faced a barrage of media criticism since her debut into the national spotlight last Friday when McCain introduced her as his vice presidential choice. She countered that criticism Wednesday night by highlighting her Washington outsider status.
"I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I've learned quickly, these past few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone," she said.
"But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country," she said.
She then highlighted her experience as a reformer in Alaskan politics.
"Sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power brokers. That's why true reform is so hard to achieve," she said. "But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up."
"In short order, we put the government of our state back on the side of the people," she said.
As an ethics-reformer, she said she vowed to "end the culture of self-dealing." She delivered on that promise by getting rid of excess in the governor's office at taxpayer's expense.
"That luxury jet was over the top," she said. "I put it on eBay."
On energy policy, Palin challenged her opponent's opposition to drilling for America's natural resources.
"Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems - as if we all didn't know that already. But the fact that drilling won't solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all," she said."We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers."
She had a few words for Sen. Barack Obama, too.
"There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate," she said. "What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet?"
The governor also highlighted the differences between McCain and Obama, who has campaigned primarily on a theme of 'change.'
"Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election," Palin says. "Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speechmaking, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things. And then there is the idealism of those leaders, like John McCain, who actually do great things."
Toward the end of her address Palin said McCain's prisoner of war experience as proof of his character and leadership. On the floor listening was fellow POW and witness to McCain's experiences Tom Moe of Lancaster.
"For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words. For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds," Palin said.
Palin's entire family joined her onstage after the speech. Media attention in recent days has focused much on Palin's family, with the disclosure that her teenage daughter Bristol Palin is pregnant. The younger Palin and her child's father, Levi Johnston, also joined the family onstage
The crowd then erupted as Sen. John McCain made a surprise appearance.
"Don't you think we made the right choice for the next vice president of the United States?" he asked. "And what a beautiful family."
McCain will make his acceptance speech for the nomination Thusday night.

Winter Weather Means Extra Attention for Horses
Horse Health
As winter weather approaches, we need to make sure that our horses are being cared for properly. Is there anything else we can do to keep them feeling comfortable and not cold and miserable. There are plenty of precautions you can take to ensure the safety and overall well being of your horse.
Winter Coats
When a horse grows his winter coat, the hairs become longer and coarser, standing up rather tham laying flat against their skin. This enables the horse to "fluff them up," allowing air to be trapped close to the body and insulating him from the cold. In addition, grease accumulates in this thicker coat giving an added bit of insulation as well.
When mother nature decides to add cold rain and snow to the forecast, you need to be more poractive in your horses protection. If your horse is pastured, make sure there is shelter provided so that he may escape the elements. Even without snow and rain, the cold wind can be harmful for your precious animal. Though they have this natural defense to the cold weather, a blanket or rug is always an added layer of protection from the elements. Especially for horses that are clipped, the definitely need the protection. One should never leave a clipped horse unprotected during the winter months.
A horse's ability to adapt to the winter weather id dependant on his energy intake. A horse can keep himself warm by eating, and as this is the most natural way to keep him warm, he should have unlimited access to good, quality hay. This is the easiest way to ensure your horse will meet his dietary requirements.
It is just as important for your horse to have fresh water on a hot summer day as on a cold winter one. A constant supply of fresh water is essential as without it, he may not eat. Even if your horse's water is full of broken ice, he may not drink it. It may be too cold. A nice hot kettle of water added may be just enough to take the edge off.
As domesticated horses are more prone to impaction colics in the winter, if he is not drinking enough water, his chances increase.
These are the little things that we can do for our horses to ensure their own well being. They provide us with unconditional live and understanding, and we should do the same in return.

She who truly loves
The first thing I saw was a tear--an unforgettable giant tear in the big brown eye of a ten-year-old girl. Then I saw tears in her mother's eyes. In these tears, just enough joy was mixed with pain to underscore the pain's severity: joy at seeing him, their three-month-old brother and son, and intense pain at having kissed him good-bye when he was just two days old; the ache that he, flesh of their flesh, was being brought to them for a brief visit by two strangers who are now his parents; the affliction of knowing that the joy of loving him as a mother and sister usually do will never be theirs.

Great Book,
This review is from: Operating System Concepts (Hardcover)
Although I had to buy this book for a class, I do enjoy reading it. The book stays current by focusing on modern multi-core processors, and relating most concepts to Linux, Windows, and Solaris (plus sometimes others) operating systems. It is fairly easy to read, and there are programming exercises at the end of each chapter to highlight concepts. This book will definitely get your feet wet when learning operating system concepts.

A sound introductory text,
wiredweird (Earth, or somewhere nearby) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Operating System Concepts (Hardcover)
This provides a solid introduction to the basics of operating system (OS) internals. After an introductory section, this covers the major subsystems in an orderly progression: processes, memory, storage, protection, distributed systems, and special purpose systems. Although I might quibble with some of the ordering, (e.g., virtual memory vis a vis process management), this gives a firm foundation for anyone teaching introductory OS internals. As an aside, instructors should also be aware of the additional support they'll find at the book's web site.
I have no real objections to this book, but find that some of its emphasis won't suit all readers. For example, 99% of all processors don't run Windows or Linux. Instead, they run your DVD player, car air bags, microwave, digital watch, and just about everything else with a power cord or battery. Engineering students headed for embedded system development will need supplementary material. Also, like every other undergrad text I know, this underplays the critical importance of standards in everything from APIs and file system structures to network protocols and safe coding guideline.
I've taught from this book and from Tanenbaum and, to tell the truth, have no strong preference between the two. They present comparable material at roughly the same level, both offer good case studies, and both offer on-line support to students and instructors. Each outweighs the other on specific topics but, on the whole, that seems to balance out. I note that some reviewers object to this book's level. To them, I can only say: that's life. OS development is at least ten times as hard as developing mainstream applications (as measured by programmers' output of debugged code), so it will require some programming knowledge to follow discussions of OS internals. Railing against obviously important prerequisites says more about the speaker than about the book.

A must read if you are a serious Software Engineer,
Javier Navarro (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Operating System Concepts (Hardcover)
I used this book in my OS class of my Master in Compute Science. I remember back in college, I took OS with an older version of this book. Now with professional experience, my perspective about this subject changed drastically.
If you really want to take advantage of how an OS works such as the techniques of managing resources, and to apply this knowledge to your own programs; please read this book. The book is excellent if you like advanced topics such as multi-threading and multi-processing. Also, it will help you to understand how the OS interacts with the user programs and how you take advantage of advanced approaches like thread kernel model, etc.

Architecture and Utopia
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
In this new era of disorientation and social hardship it isn't pure formalism to rethink utopia as a form of search, anticipation and projection in the realm of architectural and urban possibilities. Thomas More's book, Utopia, presented the modern-form of utopia with the idea of a "no-place-land" (ou-topos in Greek) or a "good place" (eu-topos) both introducing "the place of felicities" in an ideal society.
Since Thomas More, two forms of utopia have emerged as a critical response to society and to image a better future: one of these is thinking urban society from the present, as an alternative, better life in our real cities (such as Le Corbusier with La ville radieuse) or new urban societies out of our realities – such as Tony Garnier with la Cité industrielle or Yona Friedman with La ville spaciale). But the point is the same: community is at the centre of utopia.
Architecture used to play a fundamental role in utopia by the way it materializes its form, for example with Fourier's phalanstery or by the way Robert Owen projected a Village scheme, which will be later developed with the city-garden of Ebenezer Howard. However, the XXIst century has reduced the importance of community for an individualistic form of living. In that context, are we still able to imagine new utopias ? Is the Utopic project able to become a reference and/or a goal for architect and architecture, or is it used as an instrument to attain a more pragmatic goal? Or are we in a post-utopia era, less optimistic, where architects cannot approach architecture with the social frame of utopia, leading to anti-utopia (distopia) and self-reference?
All kinds of approaches to this topic are welcomed, and must be focused on the XXIst century. Papers can be case studies oriented, or methodological and/or theoretical in focus.
The deadline for submission is August 5, 2013.
Contributors are invited to submit a title, an abstract (from 300 to 350 words), three images and a short biography stating their affiliation and professional interests (maximum 100 words). Official language for paper presentation is English. The style, grammar and phrasing should be edited by a person with an excellent command of English and a good understanding of architectural terminology. All submission of abstracts should be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com (up to 15 Mb) before August 5, 2013. The papers will be selected by the editorial board and subjected to evaluation with the blind peer review system. The authors will receive an answer before August 10, 2013.
Articles should be sent to the editorial board, in their definitive form and with illustrations (free from reproduction rights), before August 21th, 2013.
Final articles length will be between 450 and 800 words, notes and bibliography included. Contributions must be original and should not have been previously published, even in part.
All articles must be illustrated (at least ten images, drawings, sketches, renders or other).

The Victim Service Coordinator (under the Victims of Crime Act, Grant 11-VA-006), Randolph County Prosecutor's Office, Women's Aid in Crisis (WAIC), Randolph County Family Resource Network (RCFRN), Children's Advocacy Center (CAC), Youth Health and the many other advocacy groups in Randolph County wish to thank everyone who attended and all those who spoke at the annual Candlelight Vigil for Victims of Domestic Violence during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
While the weather did not cooperate for this important annual community event, we were extremely pleased by the large group of attendees and we were especially gratified by the presence of Sen. Clark Barnes, Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong, Prosecutor Rich Busch, Assistant Prosecutor Andy Mendelson, Magistrate Ben Shepler, Marcia Drake, executive director of WAIC; Chief Deputy Mark Brady and law enforcement officers from the Elkins Police Department and West Virginia State Police. We offer our sincere thanks to these busy public servants who took the time to attend the vigil and to remember victims of domestic violence and to celebrate survivors.
Our special thanks go to Gina Hamilton, a former victim of domestic battery, who struggled to overcome her trauma and is raising three children as a working single mother while attending school. She plans to work with domestic violence victims following graduation. Gina's story of strength and perseverance is a true inspiration and we thank her for sharing it with us.
We would also like to express our appreciation to Nancy Barlow for allowing us the use of the Caboose Room at the Elkins Depot, and to Fox Pizza, Papa John's Pizza and Domino's for providing pizza for the vigil attendees. Jen Mendelson deserves special kudos for making a delightful and delicious cake for the occasion. Thanks also to Kmart for providing helium for the balloons we release, each representing a victim of domestic violence in West Virginia during the past year.
It is our hope that, with continued community participation and involvement in events such as the candlelight vigil, citizens of Randolph County will become more aware of the tragedy of domestic violence and its lasting effect on families. By working together as a community, we can all help to break the vicious cycle of domestic violence

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that hip muscle function (strength and endurance) improves after total hip arthroplasty and is important for minimizing limping gait.
Design: Fifty-two patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty were assessed before and 6 mos after receiving a unilateral total hip endoprosthesis (Adaptiva stem with a Harris-Galante acetabular component). Severity of limping was assessed using a 4-point ordinal scale. Pain was assessed using a standardized ordinal scale. Eccentric, concentric, and isometric muscle strength and endurance of the hip extensors, flexors, adductors, and abductors were measured using a dynamometer.
Results: Postoperative limping severity and pain were significantly lower and postoperative muscle strength and endurance were significantly higher than the preoperative values (P < 0.05). The association between impaired muscle strength and endurance and limping severity was stronger postoperatively than preoperatively. This association was stronger for the hip extensor and flexor muscles than for the hip adductor and abductor muscles. Pain level was not associated with postoperative limping severity.
Conclusions: Hip extensor and flexor muscle strength and endurance seem to be relevant for minimizing postoperative limping in patients after total hip arthroplasty. Rehabilitation programs should include exercises aimed at improving hip extensor and flexor strength and endurance to improve gait function.

Three Things You Must Know About Your Trust
Teresa Bear | Apr 7, 2014, 8:10 a.m.
I bet you remember the following line: "Not just a headache...but an Excedrin headache." Remember that ad campaign? According to the commercial, Excedrin was reserved for the worst type of headache in the world. Grantor trusts—sometimes called living trusts—are popular documents that many retirees set up to avoid Excedrin headaches for their heirs.
Now, I am not an attorney—and I don't give legal advice. As a CPA and a certified financial planner, the following suggestions come from my experience in viewing trusts from a tax, administrative and investment perspective. Keep in mind that it is much easier to attend to these matters when you are vertical—than letting your spouse or children deal with them when you are horizontal.
Pitfall No. 1: Assets are not in the trust name. Sometimes in my practice I find that a client has paid $1,500 to $5,000 in attorney fees to set up a trust, but the trust was never funded. The assets that they own were never titled in the name of the trust. Essentially they spent an enormous amount of money for an empty box.
Tax time is a terrific time of year to verify that your accounts are properly titled. Review the 1099s that you have received from your investment and bank accounts and make sure that the name of the trust is listed on the 1099. Also check your real estate property tax receipts (or go online to the county assessor's website) to ensure that the real estate that you own is in also in the name of the trust. Finally, peek in your safe deposit box and pull out those U.S. Savings Bonds. If they are in your name, it may be a good idea to start cashing them in—or they will be subject to probate. Keep in mind that accounts that have a named beneficiary (such as retirement accounts, annuities and life insurance policies) do not need to be owned by the trust, although trust can be the beneficiary of these accounts.
Pitfall No. 2: An unnecessary AB trust. In addition to probate avoidance, trusts have also been used for tax planning. In the past, estates as small as $300,000 were subject to estate tax—with rates as high as 55 percent. To avoid some of the tax liability, attorneys did a great thing: They established more complicated trusts that allowed a married couple to pass $600,000 estate tax free to their heirs. This saved estate tax, but it came at a cost. When the first spouse passes away, the "B" trust becomes a separate taxable entity. This means that a form 1041 needs to be filed for the trust—and most CPA firms charge between $500 and $1,000 to prepare that return. For a trust that is subject to estate tax, this additional tax prep fee is worth it. However, now a couple can give $10,680,000 to their heirs without paying estate tax. So the tax need for an AB trust has been eliminated for most taxpayers. Sometimes there are valid nontax reasons for an AB trust (such as a couple with children from previous marriages), but if your estate is less than $10,680,000 it may be time to review this issue with your attorney.

Aloha! I want to thank the captain and crew of the Sea Spirit for a fantastic experience diving at Molokini at Crater on December 28, 2013. This was the first dive I've taken without my own buddy in tow, so I was hoping to find at least one friendly diver on the boat. Instead I found 3 crew that instantly felt like friends and a small group of fun loving divers who all stayed together safely as a group, guided by Ricardo who pointed out all the interesting creatures below, from sea turtle to octopus. It was like a dream and I can't wait to return to Maui for more diving. Mahalo!!

Wind turbines have been lauded as carbon-free energy sources, and denounced as whirring monsters that kill birds, bats, and scenic views.
The twain have yet to meet.
But what if wind energy could do more than just crank out electricity? What if it could blow away Mother Nature with a massive offshore array of turbines powerful enough to blunt the force of hurricanes?
Researchers from the University of Delaware and Stanford University have concluded it is possible.
Their computer model showed that a large wind farm off the East Coast could have have reduced the wind speed of Hurricane Sandy about 80 m.p.h., and lessened the storm surge - the flooding that ruined so many homes and businesses - up to 21 percent.

Mike Wells from the Indy Star reports that the hot trade involving Troy Murphy to Cleveland for Zydrunas Ilgauskas is fizzling fast because the Pacers are asking for JJ Hickson and draft picks to be tossed into the mix.
Fantastic. The only thing that was going to give the Pacers a bit of hope for next season (as slim as that hope is) has probably sailed.
Statistically, the Pacers don't appear to be asking for too much. Consider this: Ilgauskas is averaging 7.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season while Hickson is averaging 6.8 and 4.3. Together, that's 14.3 points and 9.7 rebounds. Troy Murphy? 14 points and 9.6 rebounds. Looks like a pretty fair trade on the page at least, if you don't consider the fact that the big Z is a massive expiring contract at the end of the season and if you ignore the request for draft picks to be included.
And more great news – Jeff Foster is likely out for the rest of the season with his troublesome back. Foster is heading to LA for more opinions and will probably need surgery. There was a rumour about Foster going to Denver for Ty Lawson, but I don't know where that stands now.
Reggie Miller said it best when he described the Pacers in light of Washington's recent troubles (with Gilbert Arenas):
(The Pacers) still haven't recovered. Other than Danny Granger, who was an All-Star last year and (Roy) Hibbert's playing well this year. They play hard, but the Pacers have never, ever recovered from that night. Things will never be the same until they get lucky in the draft. They are able to overpay a free agent and things get turned around, but things will never be the same. Let's hope that's not the case in the nation's capital with the Wizards, but it's just not the same.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Aaron Donald wreaks havoc every week for the Pittsburgh defense, inflicting much of his punishment behind the line of scrimmage.
One of six semifinalists for the Outland Trophy - and the only defensive player on the list - Donald had another standout game against Syracuse on Saturday with 3.5 tackles for a loss. It was his big hands, though, that spelled the difference in the Panthers' critical 17-16 win. He blocked his first kick of the season after the Orange had scored on their first possession, and that spelled the difference at the final gun in a hard-fought game with a lot on the line.
"We've been watching film all week," Donald said. "We pushed them back. I just got my hand on it. We did this as a team. A lot of guys made plays, not just me."
Pitt (6-5, 3-4 ACC) got the job done with a gritty performance as both teams needed a win to become eligible for the postseason. "Obviously, this is a good win," Pitt coach Paul Chryst said. "Guys fought. They fought all the way to the end, and that you truly appreciate."
Syracuse (5-6, 3-4) has one more chance next week at home against Boston College to get that elusive sixth win. The ACC has agreements to send at least eight - and as many as 10 - of its members to bowl games if they qualify, and 10 already have.
"Frustrating? Hell, yeah," first-year Syracuse coach Scott Shafer said. "I want to put my hand through a wall right now. But that's the way life goes. We have to foster that frustration and turn it into motivation and go find a way to get this victory against Boston College. We're not going to use excuses. We've got to fight."
The Panthers won it on Isaac Bennett's 5-yard run on the last play of the third quarter.
Trailing with time winding down in the period, Tom Savage directed a nine-play, 88-yard scoring drive. After taking a hard hit from blitzing linebacker Marquis Spruill, Savage, who used quick drops and short passes all game to thwart the Syracuse defense, hit tight end J.P. Holtz for 16 yards on third down.
After the ball was moved another 15 yards to the Syracuse 43 after an unsportsmanlike conduct was whistled against the Orange, Savage hit Holtz again for 11 yards on the right side and Manasseh Garner caught two more passes for 27 yards to set up Bennett's run. Pitt converted an impressive 9 of 17 third-down plays against what had been the sixth-best third-down defense in the nation.
"Just get the ball out," said Savage, who was 28 of 41 for 218 yards and a touchdown to Garner late in the second quarter. "They're a physical team and they blitz a lot, so just get the ball in somebody's hands and see if they can make a play."
The Orange squandered a chance to regain the lead after Luke Arciniega intercepted Savage's deflected pass at midfield early in the fourth. Despite help from a personal foul against Pitt, the Syracuse drive stalled and Norton missed right.
Syracuse had one last chance at victory in the final minute, but when the Orange lined up for a 53-yard field goal attempt on a fourth-and-8 play, Pitt called a timeout just as the ball was snapped on what was going to be a fake. Terrel Hunt's pass fell incomplete when play resumed and the Panthers began celebrating.
"We had it in our hands and we let it slip away," Orange defensive tackle Jay Bromley said. "We couldn't get the job done. It's really frustrating."
Syracuse had gained a 16-10 lead with 6:25 left in the third when Hunt combined with Alvin Cornelius III for a 42-yard score on a third-and-15 play, and it was spectacular. Hunt, who misfired on five long passes in his previous Carrier Dome start three weeks ago, laid out a long pass down the right sideline and Cornelius, a redshirt freshman, made a fingertip grab as he tumbled into the end zone for his first career score.
Still, Hunt misfired several more times on long passes, none more critical than one just before halftime with Pitt nursing a 10-6 lead.
Pitt's Kevin Weatherspoon fumbled a punt and Ritchy Desir recovered for the Orange at the Pitt 24 in the final minute, but Syracuse had to settle for Norton's 41-yard field goal after Hunt's pass for Durell Eskridge in the left corner of the end zone was ruled out of bounds.
"I feel like I made the catch," said Eskridge, who played wideout in high school but starts at free safety for the Orange. "I kind of bobbled it a little bit at the end, but I feel like I brought it in. The officials made the call and we had to live with it."
Hunt finished 18 of 28 for 159 yards and Jerome Smith gained 88 yards rushing for the Orange.
For a game that started out as if it might be a romp for the Orange against a team that has struggled to find consistency, Donald's big paw helped change the outcome.
"You talk about a big play, and that was the first one," Chryst said. "Guys were mentally tough."

1995-1998: Strengthening Capacity for Environmental Analysis and Environmental Protection in Latin America (funded by the Tinker Foundation)
Description: This project has contributed to increasing Latin American capacity in environmental analysis and environmental monitoring using a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, by enhancing access by a group of Mexican and Brazilian scholars and active environmentalists to the latest techniques of environmental monitoring; and on the other, by linking the application of these tools to policy interventions that may enhance environmental protection of species-rich tropical moist forests in the Brazilian Amazon and Southeastern Mexico. By strengthening capacity and reducing dependency on environmentalists from the U.S. and Europe, the environmental future of Latin America is more likely to be preserved by those with the greatest stake in it. During the first two years the project activities included in-house training of a select number of researchers and environmental protection agency personnel, and intensive training sessions in Brazil and Mexico respectively. In the third year an international symposium was conducted, and a volume will be published that will extend the value of the environmental analysis and policy training activities to other countries of Latin America. The volume will be made available in English, Spanish and Portugal.
