Wolf, Corbett waste no time campaigning for general election
Tom Wolf, who swamped his three opponents in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary, starts the general election campaign as the favorite to defeat Gov. Tom Corbett, political analysts said Wednesday.
Wolf's victory Tuesday was aided by a multimillion-dollar television advertising campaign that put his story before voters. He soared in the polls in February, continued that polling trend and never looked back.
"I think he ran a very aggressive campaign and poured a ton of money into it early," said Michael Federici, political-science professor at Mercyhurst University. "It was like shock and awe. He overwhelmed his opponents, and they were never able to recover."
Both candidates immediately hit the campaign trail Wednesday, and Corbett is scheduled to appear in Erie today.
Corbett -- considered vulnerable while struggling with low polling numbers -- has a tough task in trying to win a second four-year term, analysts said.
"I don't think there's any doubt about it. The governor's running from behind," said Terry Madonna, a pollster and political analyst at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster.
Madonna pointed to a Quinnipiac University poll in February showing that Wolf would defeat Corbett by 19 percentage points.
"And Wolf has only grown stronger. The Democratic Party is united behind him. The governor has his work cut out for him," Madonna said.
Federici said his guess is that the polling shortly after the primary will show Wolf with a "pretty big lead."
He added: "I think Corbett was at a disadvantage not having someone challenge him in the primary. It would have been better if he was able to be out there to aggressively defend the job he's done."
But Billy Pitman, Corbett's campaign spokesman, said he doesn't think the lack of a primary opponent hurt. "The governor's been out there since announcing his re-election (bid) last year, defending his record and discussing what he sees as his vision to continue moving Pennsylvania forward," he said.
Corbett held an energy-related campaign event with Texas Gov. Rick Perry in Canonsburg, Washington County, on Wednesday. He has a series of campaign stops today, including events late this afternoon and this evening in Erie.
Wolf didn't waste any time either in the aftermath of his convincing victory over state Treasurer Rob McCord, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz and Katie McGinty, a former state Department of Environmental Protection secretary.
The wealthy businessman and former state Revenue Department secretary met with voters at the Manchester Cafe in York County.
Federici and Madonna said there was more to Wolf than his wealth in a primary campaign in which he came under attack from McCord and Schwartz for his business practices and other issues.
"In the debates, he held his own. And he had to have something substantive in his campaign ads," Federici said.
Some voters said they liked Wolf's ads in which he talked about profit-sharing with employees at the Wolf Organization, the corporate parent of a business billed as the largest supplier of kitchen cabinets in the U.S. and a leading supplier of specialty building products.
And while the four Democrats shared many of the same positions on the issues, there will be sharp contrasts between Corbett and Wolf in the election campaign.
One of those issues could have been U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III's ruling that overturned Pennsylvania's ban on gay marriage. But Corbett said Wednesday he would not appeal the ruling.
"Given the high legal threshold set forth by Judge Jones in this case, the case is extremely unlikely to succeed on appeal. Therefore, after review of the opinion and on the advice of my commonwealth legal team, I have decided not to appeal Judge Jones' decision," Corbett said in a statement.
"As a Roman Catholic, the traditional teaching of my faith has not wavered. I continue to maintain the belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. My duties as governor require that I follow the laws as interpreted by the courts and make a judgment as to the likelihood of a successful appeal," he said.
Wolf called the ruling "a victory for equality, a victory for inclusion and a good day for all Pennsylvanians."

This week, I am in Las Vegas for [Edge 2016], IBM's Premiere IT Infrastructure conference of the year.
Day 4, the last day of the conference, is only a partial day, and many people opted to leave on Wednesday evening, or Thursday morning instead. The breakfast and lunch meals had fewer people than the previous days. Here is my recap of day 4 Thursday breakout sessions.
- Building Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Next-Generation Workloads
Marc The'berge from Supermicro presented details of the [Supermicro Hyperconverged Appliance with IBM Spectrum Accelerate]. Supermicro offers three standard configurations, small (114 TB), medium (186 TB), and large (330 TB).
Supermicro is more than happy to customize these, upgrading the CPU, RAM, disk or networking connectivity as needed. This solution is roughly half the price of Nutanix, and offers a better Next-Business-Day/9am-to-5pm support package .
- IBM's Cloud Storage Options
Slides are available on IBM Expert
Network on [Slideshare.net]
The last time I was in Las Vegas, I presented this topic at [IBM Interconnect conference]. Back then, I was given only 20 minutes, was placed on the Solutions Expo showroom floor, competing with the noise and traffic of attendees going to lunch.
This time, it was much better, a large room, and a bigger-than-expected audience given that it was scheduled on Thursday morning.
Cloud storage comes in four flavors: persistent, ephemeral, hosted, and reference. The first two I refer to as "Storage for the Computer Cloud" and the latter two I refer to as "Storage as the Storage Cloud".
I also explained the differences between block, file and object access, and why different Cloud storage types use different access methods. I wrapped up the session covering the various storage solutions that IBM offers for all four Cloud Storage types.
- IBM Storwize and IBM FlashSystem with VersaStack versus NetApp FlexPod
Norm Patten, part of the IBM Competitive Project Office Storage Team, presented a competitive comparison between VersaStack with IBM storage, versus FlexPod with NetApp storage.
This session was under NDA, so I can't blog about any of the details. As they say, ["What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas"]
- SALSA: The Secret Sauce enabling IBM Spectrum Accelerate on Low-cost Commodity SSDs
Nikolas Ioannou, Research Staff Member for Cloud Storage and Security at IBM Zurich, presented. Last year, Nikolas and his colleagues published a technical research whitepaper titled [Software Log-Structured Array (SALSA) -- A unified stack for SSDs and SMR disks].
Commodity Solid State Drives (SSD) and Shingled Magnetic Recording [SMR] offer low-cost, high-capacity storage.
However, they have their own set of problems, so IBM is developing software that can be included in IBM Spectrum Accelerate, Spectrum Scale, and Spectrum Virtualize to optimize their utility.
The concept of Log-Structured Array has been around since 1988. The IBM RAMAC Virtual Array back in the 1990s used it. NetApp's Write-Anywhere File System (WAFL) is an implementation of the [Log-Structured File System] general concept.
SALSA combines Log-Structured Array with enhancements borrowed from the IBM FlashSystem design, that I covered in my Monday and Wednesday presentations, to enhance write endurance by as much as 4.6 times!
This was an NDA session, so I cannot blog any of the details.
- World-class Flash-optimized Data Reduction and Efficiency with IBM FlashSystem A9000 and A9000R
Tomer Carmeli, IBM Offering Manager for the A9000 and A9000R presented. He presented an overview of these models on Monday, so this session was focused on the data footprint reduction technologies.
Basically, it is a three step process. First, all "standard patterns" are removed. IBM has identified some 260 standard patterns that are 8KB in length, such as all zeros, all ones, or all spaces, and replaces these blocks immediately with a pattern token.
Second, [SHA-1] 20-byte hash codes are computed on 8KB pieces on a rolling 4KB alignment boundary. In other words, if a 64KB block of data is written, bytes 0-to-8KB are hashed an compared to existing hash codes. If no match, then bites 4KB-to-12KB are hashed, and so on. This approach nearly doubles the likelihood of finding duplicates. When a block match is found, the algorithm can replacing them with pointer and reference count.
Third, any unique data that still remains is compressed using Lempel-Ziv algorithm. This is done using the [Intel® QuickAssist]. This co-processor can compress data 20 times faster than software algorithms running on general-purpose x86 processors.
Do you want an estimate of how much "reduction ratio" you may achieve? IBM has developed two estimator tools to help. The first tool is a complete scan for data expected to be dedupe-friendly. It is a slow process, taking 8 hours per TB. This would be ideal for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or backup copies.
The second tool is the infamous [Comprestimator] that IBM has had for awhile to help estimate compression savings for IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage solutions like SVC, Storwize and FlashSystem V9000. This tool is very fast, looking at only a statistically-valid subset of the data.
The results of both tools are merged, and the result is within five percent accuracy. This allows IBM to offer guidance on which data to place on these new A9000 and A9000R models, as well as offer a "reduction ratio" guarantee.
A client asked me why I bother to attend other sessions, when I probably know most of the material they present. I explained that I can always learn from others. I can honestly say that I learned something new and useful at every session I attended.

Hey everyone, I'm coming along well with this new way of eating, and I've established a pretty regular routine - I usually have the following (or something very like it) every day:
4 eggs, 2tbsp butter or coconut oil
Maybe sauteed spinach
Large salad with about 1lb of chicken, 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar, homemade salad dressing (olive oil, red wine vinegar, and shallot salt)
Small spring salad,
Baby bok choy or some other leafy green sauteed in coconut oil/bacon fat
3 chicken thighs
3 or 4 pork chops
Incidental bacon
Occasionally (once every 3 days or so) I'll have a half cup of greek yogurt with frozen blueberries and a teaspoon of honey as a dessert, but I think this is something I'm going to make a once a week/less thing.
I work from 10-8 so I frequently skip the big salad in the middle of the day/do unintentional intermittent fasting haha...
For a somewhat active 25 year old male (I lift weights 3x a week, try to do sprinting/complexes 2x a week) who is 6'3", 330lbs and trying to lose weight, does this seem like a decent menu? Any glaring sins of omission or comission? Thanks for any suggestions!
You've got a good base focusing on meat and vegetables... I'd add more veggies myself, but that's just because I aim for 3/4 veggies 1/4 meat/fat at any given meal with fatty snacks along the way.
Looks like a good base. Maybe a little heavy on the protein, but might be right for you based on the .7 - 1 gram per lean mass formula. You can see how you're doing by using fitday.com every once in a while.
It also looks very low carb. Try to stay in the 50-100 gram carbs/day most of the time. Don't try the 0-50 every day. You won't get enough nutrients. So I'd increase and vary the veggies to increase nutrients and carbs. Also, make sure you have some fruit once in a while.
Thanks for the advice/suggestions - I'm trying to keep my carbs (of all kinds) pretty low right now as I'm working to lose like 40 lbs and I'd like to do it sooner rather than later...
Malpaz, I'd eat more beef if it wasn't so super-expensive! I can get good local chicken, pork, and lamb for way less than I'd pay for grass-fed beef...
@Sharonll - I guess I was trying to go by Mark's advice on his Carbohydrate curve.
It just seems to me that ultra-low carb will leave you missing something. I've done it for a few days and had no energy to work out. Keeping my carbs between 50-100 on most days with the occasional sub 50 day keeps me losing weight and gives me the energy I need.0-50 grams/day – Ketosis and Accelerated Fat Burning
Acceptable for a day or two of Intermittent Fasting towards aggressive weight loss efforts, provided adequate protein, fat and supplements are consumed otherwise. May be ideal for many diabetics. Not necessarily recommended as a long-term practice for otherwise healthy people due to resultant deprivation of high nutrient value vegetables and fruits.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

My Success Story: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread30615.html
I have been in heavy ketosis for at least 6 weeks, and medium ketosis for months already, and I have more energy than I've had in years. Last week most of my team at work was sick as well as one of my daughters who was living at home, and I continue to carry on in perfect health.
It's hard to understand how long term ketosis might be ideal for diabetics, and not ideal for those of us with severe insulin resistance. Shrug.

April 17, 2010:
The U.S. Navy has developed a new bomb rack for its F-18 fighter-bombers. The new BRU-69/A multipurpose bomb rack replaces four older models. The new rack weighs 210 pounds and will save ground crews and pilots a lot of work. The new rack requires less maintenance, and the ground crews no longer have to mount different racks depending on the types of bombs used. The new rack no longer uses explosive devices to launch bombs, reducing corrosion (from explosives residue.) The new rack also has better electronic connections between pilots and bombs hung from the rack. This is important because of the growing use of smart bombs and other weapons that can be reprogrammed by the pilot.
Items like new bomb racks rarely get any publicity, but many improvements like this all add up to a major edge in combat capability. This is a big part of the quality difference between forces that appear to have similar, or identical, equipment. It's why industrialized nations, that spend a lot on refurbishing and updating their equipment, are so superior to countries that buy modern equipment, and then don't keep the stuff up to date, or even train much with the expensive gear.
Little things mean a lot, especially when there a lot of them, all the time. That said, the BRU-69 won't enter service for another seven years. Most of that will be taken up with testing. A new bomb rack with bugs is not a step forward.

While diet soda is a better choice than full-sugar drinks, they aren't free of health risks. A new study has found that anything more than one diet soda a day may increase one's risk of decreased kidney function.
The study was conducted by researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. They examined the effects of sodium and artificial sweeteners on kidney function among 3,256 women with a median age of 67. The women filled out a questionnaire about their soda drinking habits.
When the researchers compared the women's kidney function, they found that 372 had a decline of 30 percent or more in kidney function. Further analysis revealed that the decline was associated with drinking two or more artificially sweetened soft drinks a day. (more…)

Today's had one agenda item receiving high public interest: Whether or not to recommend the city sell an historic fire house to a Walgreens developer.
The city sought proposals for Birmingham Fire Station No. 22 at Clairmont Avenue and 32nd Street South earlier this year with only Connolly Net Lease submitting an offer of $200,000. Neighbors later complained the sale was not properly publicized.
Connolly Net Lease wants to build a new development including a Walgreens drug store with a drive-through pharmacy on that and adjacent properties including Bogue's restaurant.
However, Connolly Net Lease told The Birmingham News last week it intends to honor a 10-year-old Walgreens policy not to demolish historic buildings for new stores. The developer now is seeking to restore and incorporate the shuttered fire station into the development or leave it for someone else to develop.
Additionally, Birmingham developer Dave Carrigan made an offer to the city for the building for $210,000, but after the city's deadline. He said he wants to restore it to a "gastropub" restaurant and bar to be known as The Local 22. He said he has investors prepared to put an additional $437,000 into the renovation and equipment needed to open the business.
A community group seeking to prevent the demolition of the fire house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was formed. It, in turn, led to the creation of I Believe in Birmingham, an organizations seeking non-profit status to become a group that protests developments that harm the character of communities. Its supports say they also will advocate for those things that enhance life in Birmingham's urban neighborhoods.
Many of the I Believe in Birmingham group had planned to appear at today's meeting, even though they complained the timing interfered with work.
The city's budget and finance committee deferred the offer for the building to the economic development committee last month.
The July 6 meeting is still scheduled for 3 p.m., according to an advisory from the city.

Jimmy Johnson, the iconic coach-turned-pundit who gave Marc Trestman his start in coaching, says the Bears have hired the Alouette head coach.
The Bears have not told Marc Trestman that.
NFL sources close to the situation say Trestman has not heard from the Bears, nor has he talked to Jimmy Johnson---so that's not where any leak may have come from.
Trestman does have a connection to Jay Cutler, who worked with Trestman prepping for his NFL rookie season before the 2006 Draft.
The longtime US college and NFL passing guru who has put new fuel into Anthony Calvillo's career the last 5 years, was bypassed by the Cleveland Browns for their new head coaching hire despite a more recent connection to QB Brandon Weeden at Trestman's "qb finishing school."
Hall of Fame coaches like Marv Levy and Bud Grant, both of whom won consistently in the NFL and CFL, have endorsed Trestman's possible return to the NFL.
CJAD football analyst Ed Philion, and NFL and CFL veteran, says Trestman will have an easy transition back to the NFL as a head coach--easier perhaps than GM Jim Popp who is still in the running for jobs with the Jets and could become a person of interest to fill a vacancy in the New York Giants organization.

If you have visited West End and Old Bahama Bay recently, you have certainly seen the large detailed luxury oceanfront estate located across the canals. I recently learned that this estate, named "Nandana", is available for rent. Starting at $5,500 per night, it is a little pricier than a suite at Old Bahama Bay but definitely more spacious!
From their website:
"Nandana" (which means Paradise in the ancient tongue of Sanskrit) is a newly completed large luxury estate on a secluded beach near West End, Grand Bahama. Our luxurious and exceedingly private villa compound is a fully staffed, island home specifically created for intimate gatherings of up to ten family members or friends.
Nandana goes beyond the traditional villa vacation by providing guests with a wide range of luxury resort services, amenities and activities. These include gourmet cuisine, on-site masseuse, 120′ infinity pool, Jacuzzi, Jet Skis, ATV's, 18-hole golf course, beach volleyball and more.
Designed by a renowned architectural firm in an Asian beach house style, the property is comprised of six separate buildings. A spectacular main house with soaring 40′ ceilings is surrounded by five richly-appointed and free standing bedroom suites. The interior of the property has been constructed entirely of natural materials with massive amounts of imported Burmese teak covering the floors, walls and ceilings and natural stone forming most other surfaces. A professionally designed lighting system has been installed to emphasize the property's many distinctive architectural features.
Nice place!

Who knew mug shots could be so glam?
After an arrest warrant was issued for The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Porsha Williams, the reality star promptly surrendered late Wednesday at the Fulton County jail, where she smiled for a flattering mug shot before posting $2,000 bail.
"Porsha turned herself in and was processed and released yesterday. She is doing fine and back in the studio today," her rep told PEOPLE in a statement Thursday.
Williams, 31, is being charged with battery after allegedly brawling with her Housewives costar Kenya Moore, 43, during the March 27 taping of the show's reunion special.
While Porsha has kept mum on the altercation, host Andy Cohen confirmed the fight during a recent episode of his Web series, @sk Andy.
"To me, it came out of nowhere. The other women felt that Kenya kind of provoked her a little bit and was provoking her," he said. "I think I was just so shocked and so surprised, and I was just really upset. I don't want that happen. I think it's gross, and I think it's just totally inappropriate, it's wrong, it's not entertaining. It's just bad."

Aston Announces it will Launch a New Small Cap Fund Managed by Silvercrest Asset Management Group
Click here for Silvercrest Red Herring
CHICAGO – October 26, 2011 – Aston Asset Management, LP (Aston) is pleased to announce that it will partner with Silvercrest Asset Management Group LLC (Silvercrest) to offer a new fund in the Aston Fund family.
Aston Funds has filed a post-effective amendment to its registration statement with respect to the ASTON/Silvercrest Small Cap Fund, an open-end mutual fund that will combine Aston's distribution and administration capabilities with Silvercrest's portfolio management capabilities in small cap equities. The Fund is expected to launch in late December 2011.
"Silvercrest has an outstanding reputation in equity portfolio management and client service," said Stuart D. Bilton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aston. "We feel confident that the ASTON/Silvercrest Small Cap Fund will be a strong addition to the Aston family."
The ASTON/Silvercrest Small Cap Fund's investment objective seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. By focusing on better quality businesses as gauged by returns on capital, balance sheet strength dominant market shares in niche businesses and other measures, Silvercrest looks to invest in attractively-valued companies that have the potential to grow over time.
The Fund's portfolio manager is Roger W. Vogel, CFA, Managing Director at Silvercrest. Mr. Vogel has been the lead portfolio manager for Silvercrest's equity investment strategies team since he joined Silvercrest in April of 2002. Prior to Silvercrest, Mr. Vogel was a Managing Director at Credit Suisse Asset Management where he co-managed both small-cap and large-cap portfolios.

on July 11, 2010 - 12:01 AM
There are two historical Palmyras, and, unfortunately, they seem to attract different visitors. There is the old canal town, and there's the birthplace of the Mormon church.
A young woman from Samoa was soft-spoken and polite as she led a group of tourists around the Grandin Building on Main Street in downtown Palmyra. It's the place where the first Book of Mormon was printed. She asked one of the three or four children in the group about a story in the Book of Mormon and helped the little girl come up with the correct answer. Then the young woman paused and said, "I know" the Book of Mormon is true.
Another young woman, this one from Utah, is soft-spoken and polite as she leads a slightly larger group of tourists around, first, to a replica of a log cabin where Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church, lived in the early 19th century and then through a larger, frame house where the Smith family later lived. She, too, asks questions of children in the group and also gently helps them with the answers. And she, too, says, with the same gentle emphasis, "I know" the Book of Mormon is true.
Later, at the visitors' center at the Hill Cumorah, the third major Mormon site in the area (all of them are owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), I decide to avoid the tourist group and ask if it's OK to just walk around and look at the exhibits. Sure, I'm told, but an elderly man walks along with me. He tells me he's from Boise, Idaho. And just like the two young women mentioned, he says he's on a church mission.
>Guides emphasize faith
One of the most important events in the religious history of the United States occurred in Palmyra in 1830 when Smith established the Mormon Church, and anyone interested in our country's history could and should have an interest in that event. But, if you're not LDS and you visit the historic Mormon sites in Palmyra, you should be aware that your guides may be less interested in history than in sharing their own faith.
For instance, inside the log cabin, about a five-minute drive south of the village, our guide tells us that young Joseph Smith was visited there by an angel, among other events in his early life. Only after I mention that when I visited the Smith farm 15 years ago, there was no log cabin, does she mention that the log cabin is, in fact, not original. It's a replica.
A little later, inside the frame house just down the road, we are given more information about Smith and a conversation our guide says Smith had with God and Jesus Christ in the nearby Sacred Grove. She has to be prompted by my question to explain that the house actually has been moved from its original location across the road.
Those two details -- that the log cabin is a replica and the frame house was moved across the street -- were not deliberately omitted from the tour lecture, but they, and probably dozens of other history details, were less important to the tour guides then reinforcing the faith of the church members who visit the sites. (Most of the visitors are clearly LDS.)
Still, the visit is worth the trip. You can even see how history is made, and remade.
Here's a type of detail to pay attention to. In the Grandin building, there is a copy of the first Book of Mormon, and on the first page are the words "By Joseph Smith, Junior, Author and Proprietor." All 5,000 copies of the first edition had that on the title page. No copy of the millions printed since then have those words. Now, we're told, the work was written by an angel named Mormon, and the angel's son, Moroni, taught Smith how to translate the book from golden plates he found nearby.
Admission to all of the sites is free and all are open year-round, usually 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Also free and open to the public is the annual Hill Cumorah Pageant, which began this weekend and continues Tuesday through Saturday, starting at 9 p.m. each evening. The pageant, a colorful extravaganza, depicts scenes from the Bible and the Book of Mormon. It's performed on the side of the Hill Cumorah (which is where, church faithful believe, Moroni showed Smith where to dig up the golden plates). The hill is about a five-minute drive south of downtown Palmyra. Each showing can accommodate up to 9,000 people.
You can take a picnic, but there is also food (burgers and hot dogs, salads, soft drinks, etc.) available on the pageant grounds, prepared and served by the Lions Club and Rotary. Meals are available starting at 4 p.m.
>Canal town a must-see
If you go to Palmyra, make time to see the historic canal town. There are four small local museums that, combined, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to tour. The largest and most unusual is the Alling Coverlet Museum, which displays dozens of hand-woven 19th century coverlets.
One block east are three other small museums, all directly related to the town's early Erie Canal days. They are the William Phelps Store and Home, the Palmyra Print Shop and the Palmyra Historical Museum, all next door to each other.
The Phelps store, which dates to the mid-19th century, catered to both town residents and visitors passing through on the canal. The print shop contains a collection of printing presses that were manufactured in Palmyra beginning in 1856 and shipped around the world. The Historical Museum contains 23 rooms, each devoted to a separate theme, such as police and fire protection, photography, home furnishings, women's suffrage and Joseph Smith.
Admission to any one museum is $3, but a $7 "trail ticket" gets you into all four, and there are discounts for students, seniors and families. All three are open only in the summer. The Alling museum is open daily, 1 to 4 p.m. The others are open Tuesday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Many of the buildings on East Main Street, the main shopping area, have had newer facades removed, so they look much like they did more than a century ago. Particularly worth visiting is Candy Corner Fudge Square, where I held up two fingers close together and asked for a piece of maple walnut that big, and when it was cut and I was told that would be $1.38, I thought the price pretty steep. But I went outside, ate it, and went back in and bought another, bigger piece.
If you go:
Take I-90 to Exit 43 and go north on Route 21. Downtown Palmyra is about six miles north of the interstate. Hill Cumorah is on Route 21, on the right. A turnoff to the Smith farm site (which includes the log cabin and Sacred Grove) is just north of there. The turnoff is well marked. When you reach East Main Street, turn right, go one block, to William Street, turn left, and the Alling Coverlet Museum is less than a block away. The Phelps Store, Print Shop, and Palmyra Historical Museums are one block east, on Market Street. Candy Corner Fudge Square is at 205 East Main.

Aquarium hobbyists are often on the lookout for unique animals to stock in their miniature ecosystems. We like to look for striking colors, unique personalities or differing physical forms to accent and complement our tanks. Nothing fits these descriptions more aptly than seahorses. The seahorse is almost mythical in form, with its horselike head strangely mated with an armored, serpentine body. Seahorses are fantastic creatures to observe in aquaria, and with a little advanced planning and research, they are not much more difficult to keep than many other fish. I hope to dispel some of the mystery behind keeping seahorses, as well as demonstrate the basic requirements for building and maintaining a stable environment so that even a "beginner" aquarist may enjoy these fascinating and beautiful animals.
Seahorse Basics
There are many different species of seahorses available to marine aquarists these days, and some species have very different requirements for their environment. The most common horses will reach a similar full-grown size, which is 5 to 8 inches in height. For now, let's focus on these normal-sized horses, specifically Hippocampus erectus, H. reidi and H. barbouri.

Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases
This introductory course in infectious disease epidemiology is designed for graduate students in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine and is intended to complement other courses in infectious diseases offered by the School. The course will provide an introduction to epidemiological methods (design, measurement, analysis and intervention) used in investigations of infectious diseases. It will focus on the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases in populations, as well as provide an overview of several infectious diseases of public health importance in the developed and developing world.
Describe the various stages of the host-agent relationship and their importance in transmission dynamics.
Calculate and interpret measures of disease frequency and association specific to infectious disease epidemiology, including attack rates, secondary attack rates, case fatality ratios, vaccine efficacy, and the basic reproductive number, among others.
Identify typical points of intervention to reduce transmission of infectious diseases (in non-outbreak settings) or halt transmission (in outbreak settings).
Compare and contrast the various types of mathematical models used to explore the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases.
List the strengths and limitations of various methods for diagnosing infectious diseases and confirming infection with an outbreak strain and interpret results of epidemiologic studies in light of these strengths and weaknesses.
Analytically critique published studies of infectious disease epidemiology in terms of the appropriateness of the study design, study population, measurement of exposures and outcomes, and measures of disease frequency and association.
Four assignments will be based on published articles of epidemiologic studies of infectious diseases relevant to an in-class topic. One additional assignment will take the form of a concept paper for the final project. The final project will be a 10-15 page review paper on an infectious disease of interest.
Fifty percent of the grade will be based on the four assignments and the concept paper. Forty percent of the grade will be based on the review paper and 10% will be based on classroom participation.

Saint Peter's Adult Day Center at Monroe combines the excellence of Saint Peter's University Hospital's nursing and medical care with a beautiful homelike setting. The Center celebrated its 10th anniversary of serving the needs of adults in Monroe Township and surrounding areas in 2007. In 2008, the facility was renovated to become a best-in-class adult day care center.
Our beautiful new and expanded facility meets the needs of today's aging population who are physically and cognitively impaired. It features small-group activity spaces, a theater and a beauty salon. Warm, rich colors, comfortable chairs, soothing quiet areas, a library and a media center help make our clients feel secure and at home. These renovations, combined with expanded nursing facilities, make this a one-of-a-kind experience and set a new standard for adult day care in New Jersey.
Participation in an adult day program can delay or eliminate the need for out-of-home placement. Unlike individuals who receive professional in-home care, participants in adult day programs benefit from peer relationships and socialization, which are shown to improve mental health and outlook. The Saint Peter's program also provides nutritious meals and snacks, transportation, wellness monitoring, medication administration, activities and events.
The Center recently introduced a social program and offers therapeutic recreation for patients.

This year's Great American Beer Festival (GABF) was a hit! One of the coolest things about the festival is all the things there are to do BESIDES tasting amazing beers from all over the country. One of my favorite parts is the Beer Enthusiast Bookstore and the opportunities it gives you to meet the authors of beer books, snap a picture with them, and get an autographed copy or two (or five).
Have you ever gone to a commercial bookstore looking for beer books and left frustrated and empty handed? Then this booth is your paradise! There are books on every subject pertaining to beer: history, brewing techniques, food and beer pairing, travel, cooking with beer and more.
These are no obligatory book tour signings either. The authors are just as enthusiastic to sign your books as you are to get them signed. John Palmer (How to Brew, Brewing Classic Styles) said he is "always pleased to meet new brewers as well as veteran brewers during book signings, whether they have a book to sign or not." He appreciates when "people just want to take the opportunity to introduce themselves and say Thank You."
For Mitch Steele (IPA: Brewing Techniques, Recipes and the Evolution of India Pale Ale) the experience was "flattering and humbling". Steele delighted in talking with "homebrewers and professional brewers" and "thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm they had toward the subject of IPA!"
This year there were over 50 signing sessions in just three days, with authors like Ray Daniels (Designing Great Beers, Smoked Beers, Brown Ale), Randy Mosher (Radical Brewing, Tasting Beer), and Stan Hieronymus (Brewing with Wheat, Brew Like a Monk), and next year there will be even more!
Be sure to get your books ahead of time from Brewers Publications, and bring them to GABF 2013 to get signed. For a full list if this year's signings, visit the Beer Enthusiast Bookstore section of the Great American Beer Festival website.
Kirby Bennett's love of craft beer started in 2002 when she was living in Amsterdam and discovered an amazing bottleshop called De Bierkoning. A long ways now from sipping La Trappe on the canals, she is currently the Craft Beer Program intern for the Brewers Association. She is a Cicerone® Certified Beer Server, holds a BA in English, dabbles in homebrewing, and makes a mean quinoa salad. She hopes to continue her career somewhere in the distribution world, then someday open a sustainable beer bar in whatever city she decides to settle in!

Diversified medical firm Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT ) has begun a new clinical trial of its Absorb bioresorbable next-generation stent that will judge its safety and efficacy in patients with coronary artery disease, or CAD.
The randomized study will be used to support approval of the Absorb stent by Japanese regulators, according to Abbott. The ABSORB Japan trial will enroll approximately 400 patients. The primary endpoint is "target lesion failure (TLF) at one year, a combined measure of safety and efficacy of the device." Absorb stents dissolves over time and that may allow the blood vessel to regain natural function, said the company.
According to Abbott, CAD is the leading cause of death in the world and the World Health Organization estimates that the disease causes one-third of all deaths in Japan. Abbott launched a similar trial of the Absorb stent in the U.S. in January.
The company has plenty of prior experience with drug-eluting stents. Its Xience family of stents is a leader in the current market and sold nearly $1.6 billion last year, a 3% year-over-year gain. The Absorb improves upon the Xience by offering a "scaffold" that dissolves completely in the blood stream over time.


text: I am thoroughly disgusted with the rudeness, inconsideration and absolute greed I witnessed on Sunday (July 1). I was doing my laundry at "Whale of a Wash" in the Hedgesville shopping center when a large gray SUV pulled up to the coin-operated Journal dispenser. I thought nothing of it at first, but then the lady (and I use that term lightly) jumped out of the back seat and proceeded to remove every copy of the Journal from the dispenser, including the display copy, and drove off like a bat out of Hell, heading west on W.Va. 9.

Is "Facebook Privacy" an Oxymoron?
On October 29, 2010 By Kathryn Brown October 24, 2010
Yet again, the spotlight is on Facebook. While the famed social networking site has garnered attention in the past for pushing the privacy envelope, this time, Facebook is on the defensive after revelation that some of its third-party software applications, or "apps," leaked personally identifiable information about [...]Continue Reading →

If I were addressing you and you alone, I would have begun the message "George," like above. The "you" and "your" in my original message was in the sense of "one" and "one's", talking in the abstract and applying to the whole readership. The word "one" in this sense sounds very English upperclass so I used the alternative pronoun. Before you leap up again because you George are part of meteorobs, notice the words "can be" in the original sentence. It was not "will be" or "is". I'm not saying that the downside applies to anyone on meteorobs, but I have seen this behaviour before in others and myself (fortunately no longer). My remark was a warning, not an accusation. > for the quality and not the quantity. If you can combine quality and quantity, > then you are going places. We do actually agreed about most of this. It's just the interpretation of English where we have difficulty. (-: > >From my observing I haven't experienced anything that I would classify as > guilt yet?

I'm trying to make suggestions to my mother, who is talking about retiring next year. (I'll believe when I see it.)

How to Play Video Games "Together" (rerun)
Fresh comic next time. Thanks for your patience.
Reader Comments (22)
My favorite co-op game is the Silent Hill series. My job is to play the game, her job is to be really scared.
Scott, you rock!
Panel 1 made me literally laugh out loud.
I forgot about this one... the final panel got me laughing pretty hard.
Really loving how you drew Missy.
Just as awesome the second time around...and I could swear the last panel is a "Paperboy" reference.
Sounds like they're playing Paperboy?
Good job - all 4 panels are great! Well worth the recycle.
Panel 3: pure gold as always.
For some reason, I have the feeling that they're playing I Wanna Be the Guy in the last panel. In that game, EVERYTHING can kill you. Even Tetris.
Wow, I totally missed the moustache wire the first time around. Makes it even more hilarious. Sometimes I wish my SO would play games (of the computer sort) with me, but somehow, I doubt that her "mad" Mahjongg and Spider Solitaire skillz would translate well to first-person shooters. (Honey, really, just think of those bad Nazi/alien/mutant Nazi guys as a Mahjongg tile for which your magazine holds the matching tile...)
First time around, I never played (and had difficulty being the spotter, as the environments made me dizzy). BUT NOW I TOTALLY WANT THE MUSTACHE that comes with RB:H&O!
great rerun, Scott. thanks!
The third and fourth panels are made of win, as usual.
Ever consider giving your character different color pants? It looks like he's sitting on the couch with nothing on from the waist down. The lady readers of the strip might enjoy that, but not all of us...
Life Force is another game where touching almost anything will kill you. But since it involves space jets, there's a partial excuse.
Ha... loved it again the second time. The wire, which presumably connects the mustache to the game console, is comic genius.
I think I love Missy, just for wearing that moustache. Even if it's not in real life.
Ordinarily, as a straight woman, I love Scott.
I used to have a mustache. I'd grow one again if I could use it as a game controller!
A cunning double re-run Scott. You reaaet the comic, and you get a repeat of the paper boy and mustache comments too....a twofer.
This made me laugh so much! Thanks, Scott!
Thanks for re-running this one, Scott!

DALLAS – Duke University researcher Robert Lefkowitz, M.D., on Wednesday was named the co-recipient of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work funded in part by the American Heart Association.
Lefkowitz won along with co-recipient Brian Kobilka, M.D., of Stanford University for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors, which allow the body's cells to sense and respond to internal and external signals, such as flavors, odor, light and danger. Studies of this kind have been instrumental in the development of more effective drugs to treat cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.
"Through their groundbreaking research in protein receptors, Dr. Lefkowitz and Dr. Kobilka have brought forth discoveries with the potential to transform our approaches to treating disease," American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown said.
"The American Heart Association is proud to have provided research funding support to Dr. Lefkowitz nearly four decades ago, and we are grateful for his contributions to our mission since the 1980s as a member of our Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences," she said.
Lefkowitz, the James B. Duke Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center, becomes the 13th researcher funded by the American Heart Association to win the Nobel Prize. He received research funding from the association from 1973 to 1979. Support for scientists who are early in their career is a key priority of the association's research program.
In 2009, Lefkowitz won our Research Achievement Award, also for his studies of receptors. The award cited his "transformative discoveries of cellular receptors, seminal findings that have created a cascade of biomedical innovation leading to more effective treatments for human disease."Connect with the American Heart Association by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter!

Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

A fast, effective path towards decision-making
A record number of asylum applications makes a reform act necessary.
Almost 260,000 asylum applicants in Germany was the new record in 1991. An Act Reforming Asylum Procedure (Gesetz zur Neuregelung des Asylverfahrens) was the necessary consequence in June 1992.
Because the new Act required considerable restructuring in the Federal Office, the immigration authorities and administrative courts, the amendments only became partially effective as per 1 July 1992. The structural changes did not take place until the next year.
The following reforms came into force in July 1992:
The Federal Office took on the review of impediments to deportation in accordance with section 53 of the Aliens Act (Ausländergesetz), as well as issuing the deportation notice. Prior to that, this task had been carried out by the competent immigration authority after it had received the decision on the asylum application from the Federal Office.
All asylum applicants were now fingerprinted and photographed. Previously, this was only customary when there was doubt as to their identity.
Administrative court procedures were accelerated.
The deadline for lodging an action was reduced from one month to two weeks (section 74 subs. 1 of the Asylum Procedure Act).
In the decision "manifestly unfounded", the deadline for actions and emergency applications was now one week (section 36 in conjunction with section 74 of the Asylum Procedure Act).
Admission of an appeal on points of fact and law by the Higher Administrative Court and reduction of the deadline for applications from one month to two weeks (section 78 of the Asylum Procedure Act)
Increased deployment of the individual judge (section 76 subs. 1 of the Asylum Procedure Act)
- Extensive exclusion of the suspensive efect of court actions for asylum (section 75 of the Asylum Procedure Act)
The following amendments came into force as per 1 April 1993:
Central, computerised management ("EASY" computer system, standing for "Erstverteilungssystem für Asylbewerber" [initial distribution system for asylum applicants]) accommodates asylum-seekers evenly in initial reception centres in the Federal Länder according to quotas (section 45 et seqq. of the Asylum Procedure Act).
Asylum applicants now file their applications in person with the Branch Office of the Federal Office allocated to their reception centre (section 14 subs. 1 of the Asylum Procedure Act). The immigration authority had previously been responsible.
- The availability of the foreigner is now ensured by his/her right of residence only applying to the area covered by the immigration authority in which the competent reception centre is located (section 56 of the Asylum Procedure Act).

Just after the rainy season
and its the Summer Festival season in Japan!
There is an expression in Japanese that says `ato no
(translation: `after the festival`)
It means something like `after the fact`, or `too late`...
I took a spin on the expression and wanted to see what happens
`Before the festival`...
When the booths are setting up, the crowds have not yet set in,
and the streets are like a stage set ready for anything to take place.
I also like the idea that during the summer festival, the gods from the shrines are let out and paraded around the streets on an `omikoshi` or ` portable shrine`. It is a time when a lot of wild energy is let loose and a perfect time for... a dance walk!
Please enjoy this `Before the Matsuri` (before the festival) dance walk!
Thank you Shintaro, for the filming and for holding on tight to the camera when I come into a little danger at the end of the last scene!
Happy Summer Days!
Let the god and goddess in your heart come out to play!!

If you are like me, you've been lusting after a bigger monitor like those the art guys up on 17 have. But how to make the argument to your boss for the upgrade? Answer: you'll be more productive. And now, you've got proof.
According to an article today in the Wall Street Journal (and is therefore true), having a larger monitor makes a difference in your productivity. The article cites a study by the University of Utah where researchers tested users with an 18″ monitor, two 20″ monitors and a 24″ monitor. The one with the 24″ monitor got the job done 52% faster than the one with the 18″. Even people that used the 20″ side by side set up were 44% faster than us poor schmucks with 18″ monitors.
Taken to the extreme that means it could save your boss 2.5 hours a day, assuming you worked non-stop for 8 hours. There is an upper limit though, at 26″ productivity gain dropped off, obviously from the users basking in the glow of sheer exuberance.
Forward this link to your boss:

U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry never had to sweat his return to Washington, taking an early lead Tuesday and never fading.
The Clarendon Republican who represents the 13th District maintained a 77 percent to 23 percent advantage over Roger Waun, a Wichita Falls Democrat, at press time. That included results from 327 precincts out of 445 in the district, according to the Secretary of States Web site.
Randall Countys final tally gave Thornberry 83 percent of the vote to Wauns 17 percent.
Potter County, reported the race as 72.4 percent in favor of Thornberry and 27.6 percent supporting Waun with 13 of 25 precincts counted.
Thornberry previously faced Waun in 2006, winning an easy victory.
The campaign was not as easy as the numbers might make it look.
Theres tremendous frustration with Washington in the district and across the country, Thornberry said.
Waun said the presidential victory of Barack Obama tempered his loss.
This is my last hurrah, he said. My only advice for Mac is to stay true to his rhetoric which is about nonpartisanship.
Both candidates said the economy was the top issue of the race. Thornberry focused on economic growth and careful spending to resuscitate the economy while Waun emphasized a pay-as-you-go approach.
Some of Thornberrys priorities are national security, including controlling weapons of mass destruction and eliminating terrorists, and an all of the above approach to energy. Thornberry said he supported developing everything from wind power to nuclear energy and increased drilling domestically for oil and natural gas.
Waun described himself as a progressive, penny-wise businessman, veteran military officer, former college educator, family man and pastor of two churches.
Some of the stances he outlined included rural economic development through wind energy projects and ending the war in Iraq in less than two years.

Eaten bread is soon forgotten…
Harry McGee
Michael Noonan gave a fascinating interview to RTE's economic correspondent Sean Whelan on its website (available here) yesterday when he set down a few markers for what to expect later on this year.
The Minister for Finance was responding to the latest Exchequer figures which show that the books are more or less in balance. But that's only because spending is down on profile. Revenues are also marginally down.
While income tax is sound the more worrying subsets are disappointing returns for VAT and for corporation tax. Part of the lower than expected VAT take was attributed to the cold spell in February. But it doesn't take a genius to guess consumer confidence is still low and people are still saving rather than spending. Noonan's appeal to us last week to wear the Tshirt saying 'WE ARE NOT GREECE' and do the patriotic thing and spend money for Ireland has been falling on deaf ears.
Whelan asked Noonan was it not odd that the take on corporation tax was down given that the only sector experiencing any kind of a bounce in Ireland was exports. Noonan said that maybe companies had invested in 2010 and had written off those investments against profits. The bulk of corporation tax, he also said, tends to come in at the end of the year (which is also true).
What was evident from all this though is this Government's struggle is going to be a marathon rather than a sprint. And Noonan has realised this. And it seemed to me – though I may be wrong – that Noonan is conscious of the travails ahead and has started a softening up process for more austerity and hardship.
1. In my view, his reference to a €4bn correction as opposed to the €3.6 billion that's contained in the EU-IMF memo was more than just a casual rounding up. It shows that that the adjustment may need to be more severe to balance the books and bring us back on track to reach Tír na n-Og, otherwise known as the 3 per cent deficit target by 2015.
2. He also said that the low-lying fruit as he called it have all been picked. He warned of an austere Budget in December containing cutbacks that would be "very difficult" to achieve.
In terms of political action, low-lying fruit translates as going after the fat cats. I was talking to a senior Minister about a fortnight ago who said that all their focus group research had shown that the electorate was willing to take pain but only if the highest paid in the public sector – politicians, judges, civil servants, and chief executives of semi states – led by example and made a greater sacrifice. And so there has been a weekly diet of the Government doing the populist and popular and easy thing (and 100 per cent correct) of slashing the pay of the best paid, knowin that their protests are going to fall on deaf ears. The judges have complained about their independence being compromised and the damage to their international reputation. NUI Galway lecturer Donncha O'Connell gave the best response to that weak argument today on News at One (listen here).
The difficult part starts here. Has the Government been foolish in saying that there will be no increases in income tax or cuts in welfare? George Bush the First foundered on promises of this kind. His 'read my lips' comment promising no new taxes downed him in the 1992 US presidential election.
It's not that any of the oppositon are ideally placed to take advantage of any mí-ádh that the Government experiences. Fianna Fail is in a strange place at the moment, wounded, not really able to enter the fray. Sinn Fein has not really found its feet either. Gerry Adams has not reallybecome accustomed to the pace of things in the Dail as yet. Pearse Doherty's Mr Angry routine will eventually wear thin unless he introduced more nuance and subtlety. The party has a number of very smart TDS who will really worry Fianna Fail ( Mary Lou McDonald, Padraig Mac Lochlainn and Peadar Toibin) but none have really left their mark as yet. It's early days. The independents and technical groups are too fragmented ( that is the nature of the beast) but some of the most impressive of that group (from a substance point of view) may be some of the quietest – Thomas Pringle from Donegal South West; Catherine Murphy from Kildare North; and Stephen Donnelly from Wicklow.
And so who's going to inflict damage on the Coalition? Well, erm, themselves. If you had put up a not particularly bright donkey in the General Election, he would still have wiped the floor with the hapless Fianna Failers and the even more hapless Greens.
Problem was that the main opposition parties started gettting nervous about each other and started to make promises that they couldn't keep when they entered Government. On interest rates for the European bailout loans; on burning bondholders; on hospitals; on third level education fees; on water charges; on property taxes; on turfcutters… the list goes on.
And the second potential conflagration will arise from internal oppositon from backbenchers to Ministers taking decisions that go against the party's philosophy or core values. We have already seen the beginning of a Coalition rift on Joint Labour Committees and sectoral wage agreements. There will be many more.
Another element that needs to be factored in is the danger inherent with overly large majorities. Backbenchers on the Government benches have very little to do when it comes to promulgating national policy. And the more ambitious will become quickly bored at being spear-carriers, called onto stage only to vote for Government policies. It will not take too long – espeically if things get really difficult – for the first mutinous sounds to be heard from the lobby fodder on the Labour and Fine Gael benches.
Any one there for the last Mattie McGrath?
People are already talking about this being a two-term Government on the basis that Fianna Fail got one hell of a pasting.
That should not necessarily be taken for granted. Of course, it sounds the most realistic option right now given the circumstances. But a lot will depend on the performance of the economy. If the economy continues to tank and the recession and high unemployment linger, then people will begin to talk of broken promises and disappointment and failures etc.
Though they show no signs of doing it at the moment (and Micheal Martin may not be the Moses to bring them to the promised land), Fianna Fail may be able to bounce back stronger (in the locals in three years time) and in the General Election than people currently anticipate.
But it's early days yet… .far too early to see anything other than straws in the wind.
