(Editor's note: This is the third in a six-part series by students from the P.I. Reed School of Journalism at West Virginia University. The students traveled to Elkins in January as part of their West Virginia Uncovered Immersion Weekend project.)
When Derdlim Masten learned to cook for her siblings in Venezuela, she never realized how important it would become in her life.
Masten now owns and operates El Gran Sabor, an authentic Venezuelan restaurant in Elkins. In addition to being head chef, Masten serves food, tends the bar, handles the finances, and takes care of anything else that comes her way.
Article Video
With the restaurant depending on her, she can rarely afford to take a day off. Masten says she prefers to cook using her creativity instead of using recipes.
Besides serving authentic Venezuelan food, Masten says El Gran Sabor's goal is to offer a warm and friendly place for customers to enjoy.
Rob Masten, Derdlim's husband and the co-owner, chats with customers when he gets back to Elkins from his job as a music teacher in Tucker County.

BIRTHDAY — Customers celebrate a birthday at El Gran Sabor. Many customers, including these, have become regulars and enjoy a warm relationship with restaurant owners, Derdlim and Rob Masten. Photo by Mallory Bracken
PERFORMING — The Bluegrass band, Born Old, performs at El Gran Sabor, which hosts live music every Wednesday and Friday from local and visiting musicians. According to El Gran Sabor co-owner, Derdlim Masten, the live music is very important to the business and is what attracts many customers. Photo by Mallory Bracken
WATCHFUL EYE — While her four-year-old son, Andres, looks on, Derdlim Masten preps food before her restaurant begins serving dinner. Because Masten and her family live above the restaurant, her children spend a lot of time downstairs in the business.
The couple met over live music when Derdlim was visiting America.
They were both at a bar featuring Salsa music. Derdlim noticed Rob needed help with his dancing.
They married a few years later in 2002, and Derdlim became a naturalized American citizen in 2008.

What is the
West Virginia Uncovered Project?
The "West Virginia Uncovered" project was created to cultivate online innovation and storytelling among the Mountain State's community newspapers.
Since 2008, students from the West Virginia University P.I. Reed School of Journalism have crisscrossed the back roads and small towns of West Virginia, working with about a dozen weekly newspapers and looking for untold stories. In addition, the participating newspapers receive training in online and multimedia journalism at WVU. The West Virginia Uncovered project is supported by grants from the McCormick Foundation, the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
Each year, organizers choose a different small town as a setting for their stories. Elkins was selected for the January project.
Elkins native Mary Kay McFarland is the project coordinator. For the Elkins visit, she was assisted by coaches Bob Lynn, a former photo editor at The Virginia Pilot; Doug Mitchell, an adjunct professor at City University of New York who also has worked for NPR; and Sara Magee, PhD, who teaches in the broadcast sequence at WVU.

Whether it's through the food, music, dancing or simply the atmosphere, the Mastens have brought a piece of Venezuela home to Elkins.

I just got 4 of these devices for automating my electronics around the house. To my surprise, there is no manual included with any of my devices and I can't find a manual online. How do these work? What is the difference between an IR Emitter and an IR Blaster? In the config page, it gives the me the Configuration Options of IR OUT, Sensor In, and Sensor Notify, what are the differences? On port 3, I get the added option of IR Blaster.
Where do I begin?
Hi Gln,
There are many resources that I will link for you to read through. Located at the downloads link below, there are the iTach quickstarts (which should have come with your hardware), the iTach API for a detailed understanding of the command structure and how the units communicate, testing utilities which will help you get set up properly, and our config utilities which are located below the software header on that page. Below that, I have linked the FAQ page, which details some of the frequently asked questions that arise during setup and development with our hardware. To command your installed units, you will need some control software. Below the FAQ link, I have linked a few Apple product apps that will easily control your iTach units. Let me know if you need any information on PC software, or if you have any problems getting your installation up and running.
~Josh Sherman

Wow, the iLearn program is unbelievably difficult to get working properly. I have to stand on one leg, while touching my nose with my left pinky to get it to register my button presses. Then when it does register my button presses, it doesn't work. Basically when the software registers the button press, I theory I should be able to press Send IR and it sends it out to my device. Well that never happens as my IR Reciever has a red led that lights anytime it recieves any IR signal AND the led above the port that the IR emitter plugs into doesn't light. As a work around, I used the GC-Scan program and that worked and sent the code to my IR Reciever, but I guess the code is bad as it doesn't do anything. I tried cutting and pasting that code into iRule and when I use the iRule GUI, my IR Reciever detects the an IR signal but does nothing.
What am I doing wrong? This really should not be this difficult. I am trying to learn the buttons for my Microsoft MCE R6 remote. And of course the remote works just fine with XBMC on my Win7 box, so I know the remote and IR reciever are working. I just can't get the IP2IR to "learn" the correct codes.
Almost forgot. Just about everytime it detects a button press, the last 4 digits are different. Meaning it appears to detect a different press almost every time. I never had this much problems with the learning capabilities on my Harmony. It just worked.
Oh, is the GC-IRL IR Learner better than the learner built into the IP2IR?
The problem you are running into is the IR learner hole size. Since your unit was shipped, the size of the hole wherein the learner is located has been widened, which has solved the IR learner problem that some users have faced. If you are having problems learning your IR codes, just remove the black face plate covering the power and network connector so that you can directly access the IR learner. This will expedite your IR learning process, and should remove the problem you are having with the altered coding (which is happening because your line of sight is not perfect based on hole size). We apologize for the frustration on this.
In regards to the GC-IRL: the GC-IRL will easily learn almost any IR remote code, except in the case of the (mostly comcast) 8 pulse IR format. These pulses are much shorter than standard IR command pulses and are therefore not registered by the GC-IRL as valid codes.
What can happen if an emitter is used on port 3 of an IP2IR that is configured as blaster?
What can happen if a blaster is plugged into an emitter port?
Are the terms emitter and blaster industry standards?
What are the specs on the blaster and the emitter?
Do you measure the input current only, or is there some measurement for the output also?
The blaster setting for our iTach line of products fires the same IR command but with double the amperage. This boosts signal strength and allows for long distance transmission through the blaster. When an emitter is used with a port configured as a blaster, the emitter will flash brighter and send for a longer distance, but not as far as a blaster. When a blaster is used with a standard emitter port, the blaster will fire the command but with less power and therefore less transmission distance. The terms emitter and blaster are industry standards, but depending upon where you are, emitters can be called flashers or other terms. Our emitter is a standard blinking IR LED on a monojack connection, while the blaster is a standard non-blinking IR LED on a monojack connection. Our connectors use 3.3v to send the IR transmissions through the emitters, and there is no measurement for the input, as we have no direct IR input function on iTach units.
Thank you Josh,
I take it that there is no risk of component damage with mixing and matching the emitter and blaster devices and settings.
I'm confused about your statement on input. I am looking for amperage values that drive the emitter or blaster. I was speaking from the point of view of the emitter and blaster, not the iTach unit. What really confuses me thought is that the IP2IR does have a sensor that works with iLearn to capture IR output from a remote, so I am don't understand your statement at all.
You are correct, there is no risk of damaging emitters or blasters if configured incorrectly. Our IR is fired at .25A for an emitter and .5A for the blaster. Our learning diode is set up only to be used at short distances and has been optimized for IR learning purposes rather than long distance IR capture, and can therefore only be used for learning purposed rather than IR input in a control environment.

A massive fire has destroyed part of the historic downtown in Osceola.
Fire crews from six departments responded to the blaze at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, and crews were still battling the fire at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
KMBC has learned that the fire broke out in a building under renovation and spread. The owner said the structure was built in the 1930s.
No one was hurt when the building collapsed on Sunday morning.
Fire officials said they think an electrical problem sparked the blaze.

August 13th, 2009
So the confirmation that I have been eagerly anticipating has finally been released. By way of http://braid-game.com/news/, Jonathan Blow has provided a link to the information hub of his current work in progress: The Witness.
The site is minimalistic to say the least, but accordingly so as there must be little to nothing at this point concerning screen shots, though early concept art would be greatly appreciated. It is known that Blow spent three years turning Braid from idea into DLC, so a slow trickle of updates and imagery concerning The Witness, though disheartening, is not unexpected.
A notable difference at this stage of Blow's career however, is that he has the cred from Braid to surely have a much larger and experienced development team at his disposal. I don't believe that David Hellman will be collaborating on artwork for this new project as there is no mention of it on his blog, http://www.davidhellman.net/blog/, though anything is speculation at this point.
Anyway, onto The Witness! I have not seen any mention of this game on my oft-browsed gaming websites, even a referral to it's URL has been curiously absent; it's quite possible I just missed any stories on it so far as well.
When the user loads up http://the-witness.net/, they are confronted with a background of white which frames a large, black-text narration. It states:
Something amorphous and consummate
existed before Heaven and earth.
Solitude! Vast!
Standing alone, unaltering.
Going everywhere, yet unthreatened.
It can be considered the Mother of the World.
I don't know its name, so I designate it, 'Tao'.
Compelled to consider it, name it 'the Great'.
Alright so... ambiguous, vague, intriguing. My initial thoughts here are that this game is going to be dealing with themes of possibly:
- Religion
- Spirituality
- The Big Bang
- Creationism
Braid tackled some lofty philosophical and moral subjects, so I have little reason to believe Blow's follow-up will be pulling any punches either. Blow is a man of ideals, and I doubt he will ever be connected to a project that is made purely on the grounds of amassing Microsoft Points (yeah, you - 'Splosion Man).
Clicking on the above italicized narration will bring you to the second, and final (at this point) part of http://the-witness.net/. Here we are given its title and a solid description that this will be "an exploration-puzzle game on an uninhabited island."
While the connecting world in Braid was a familiar, and not too unusual setting - a cozy & inviting house, the majority of the game took place in the metaphysical. I have a feeling The Witness will play out through environments more recognizable and relatable as a whole, most likely interspersed with metaphors alluding to one of the possible themes listed above.
The last bit of news found on the website is that Blow anticipates a 2011 release date, "to be released on multiple platforms". I translate that as making an appearance on XBox LIVE and the PlayStation Network, predictably onto PC as well.
I am really thrilled to know the wheels of Jonathan Blow's mind are churning out a new digital keepsake for the artistic and aesthetic-prone gamers out there. My memories concerning Braid are some of my fondest held when it comes to video games. It was multi-layered, personal, relevant, and really displayed a delicate beauty. I have laced this blog about The Witness with many comparisons to Braid because I believe the two will share many similarities, although undoubtedly unique unto themselves.
Perhaps the protagonist in The Witness will be an entity with either an intimate connection to the birth of our universe, or someone who becomes stranded on a desolate island only to find a connection there as vast as the unknown potential of consciousness. The fun here is I really know next to nothing about The Witness, and it gives me the same euphoric feeling as when I was up at 3 a.m. on August 6th, 2008 (just a few days over a year ago now) and I took control of Tim for the first time: a diminutive silhoutte emblazoned before a fire & brimstone filled sky. As I moved him forward, he came upon a street lamp, and then his shadow was given color, shape, and familiarity. One of the most effective introductions I've witnessed in video game history.
Needless to say, I will be looking forward to all the beauty and enigma The Witness will invariably provide, and I'm really thankful that there are apparently so many other gamers scattered amongst the masses who appreciate games that take the path less traveled. With The Witness and The Last Guardian (Team ICO's third crowned jewel) on the horizon, there's a lot to look forward to.

Ratings for Dr. Lauren Greenberg
Dr. Greenberg is amazing! I could not be more pleased with my results. She and her team including Justine and Lyla are simply wonderful and make you feel very comfortable right from the start. Dr. Greenberg was always there to address all my questions and concerns and would respond back immediately to any emails that I would send her. She understands exactly what her patients desire and works with them to help them achieve their goals while at the same time being realistic with them. I am so happy with my results! Thank you Dr. Greenberg!
I had a wonderful, wonderful experience. I am beyond pleased with my results. Dr. Greenburg (and Justine) were an absolute delight to work with and were available anytime I needed them. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude!
I could not be more pleased with the outcome of Dr. Greenberg's work. I had an abdominoplasty with muscle repair, upper and lower pinch blepharoplasty, and fat transfer to my face. While I could have had these procedures done by reputable surgeons much closer to where I live, it was worth it to me to drive over an hour each way to work with Dr. Greenberg. She has a special interest and skill in fat transfer and I didn't want my liposuctioned fat from the abdominoplasty to go to waste. She has a great balance of skill, artistic vision, and bedside manner. I highly recommend Dr. Greenberg!
Dr. Greenberg is not only a skilled plastic surgeon, she is an artist. I went to her for a breast reduction in hopes of finding much-needed relief from the pain in my back and neck. Dr. Greenberg and her staff were professional, informational, and, most of all, personal. I had a million questions and she took the time to answer each and every one with honesty—a little humor. She even showed me before, during, and after photos as she walked me through the procedure, so I could understand what I was signing up for. Since surgery, I have noticed a significant reduction in back and neck pain, and my breasts look amazing! I can finally wear tank-tops and dresses, which prior to surgery were not an option with my breast size. Even better, I stand straighter and feel comfortable in my new body. Dr. Greenberg made me a size that naturally fits my frame and gave me a youthful lift without the ugly anchor scars I had assumed went with a reduction. An added bonus is that it looks like I have lost weight because with the lift I have a few inches more torso, so my waist looks tucked in and my hour glass is curvier . My experience has been so incredible, and my transformation so exciting, my friend is going in for the same procedure! Thanks, Dr. Greenberg, you are the best!
Taking metal clamps in your head out with plyers
Dr. Greenberg and her staff were fantastic. I had a breast augmentation done and from day 1, she was informative, detailed, answered all my questions and gave me pros and cons on my choices. She was never pushy, just straight forward. She was very helpful during the healing process, always responding to any frantic calls and emails within the same day. I am very happy with the way my breasts turned out and would definitely recommend her to my friends.
I searched and interviewed doctors all over the bay area to do a cosmetic procedure on my face. After meeting with all the doctors, I chose Dr. Lauren Greenberg. I completely trust her. I met with Dr. Greenberg more than once and she was always professional, available, up to date, scientifically current and most importantly wanted to know my opinions about what I wanted to accomplish -- never hurried. Isn't that what you want from a cosmetic surgeon? She is super kind and just plain sweet. Dr. Greenberg is an artist. I never felt hurried and she had great ideas and opinions about state of the art surgery, the biology of healing and cosmetic repair gadgets. Her office assistant, Justine, is the sweetest too. Extremely cordial practice. I will be a repeat customer for Dr. Greenberg and really happy and lucky to have met this artist who happens to be a fantastic cosmetic surgeon. WooHoo!
My husband and I were impressed with Dr. Greenberg from the Consultation to the end result. My eyes are now open and look very youthful and rested. No bruising! Thank you Dr. Greenberg! Great bedside manner and even better results! My emails and phones calls were always answered within 24 hours. I could not have asked for a better experience.
LOVE HER!! Been going to her for my cosmetic "mid life" facial filler upgrades. She cares for her patients, is very knowledgeable and really fun during visits! She's wonderful! She always makes sure everthing looks totally natural which is important to me (and I think her too). I'm very, very happy with her and highly recommend Dr. Greenberg.
Dr. Greenberg is a fantastic surgeon and I have never had a more positive experience with a doctor. She is caring, kind, and keeps up on the latest information in her field. I went to her after losing 190 pounds and she has done a wonderful job at removing all the wrinkles caused by my weight loss. Within the past year she completed a tummy tuck, breast lift, liposuction, and 2 weeks ago, a face lift. She is honest, direct, and kind. She answers all my questions and has always given me the full information I needed to make the right decisions for my body. She is not someone who encourages more surgery to enrich herself. My phone calls have always been returned within minutes. Best of all, she did a great job with each surgery and I am so happy with how I look now.

Re: How close should a comic book movie be to its source material?
I remember a Stan Lee quote in which he said that movies and comics are two totally different mediums, what works in comics wouldn't work in live action.
For me I don't mind small changes but only to accommodate the movie.

As long as the superhero wears the outfit whether its the actual costume or a new costume with the old fashioned colors from the original costume its fine too as long the costume doesn't look god awful or whatever.
I happened to like the 1990 Captain America too, I'm not a fan so I didn't mind the liberties taken with it.
In Civil War the moment when Iron Man and Cap stop fighting when they realize they both have a friend named James.

Could Citigroup (NYSE: C ) stock be doing any better? The superbank's share price is up a big 3.71% this week, and investors may have several factors to thank.
Up, up, and away
First, let's have a quick look at exactly where Citi's peers and the markets are on this last day of trading for the week:
- Bank of America is up a healthy 1.54%.
- JPMorgan Chase is up an even more healthy 2.25%.
- Wells Fargo is up an almost healthy 0.53%.
The markets are all in the green, as well, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 2.02%, the S&P 500 up 2.13%, and the Nasdaq Composite up 2.47%.
Foolish bottom line
For starters, Citi investors can thank a bit of a bounce coming off last's week's poor performance for this week's good performance.
Citi took a nosedive on Wednesday, along with its big four cohorts, that it never quite recovered from, and that happened for no apparent reason. So this week's performance may have been due, in part, to the market naturally resetting itself.
Citi also showed some chutzpah by filing a claim on Monday against Nasdaq OMX for the botched handling of the Facebook initial public offering. It doesn't look like the bank can claim massive amounts of money for damages, but investors may just have been happy to see Citi stepping up and going after monies they legitimately have coming to them. I know as an investor myself, I was happy to see the move.
Citi is also about to report first-quarter earnings. And after last quarter's strong performance, investors may be looking forward to hearing about the first quarter's. Again, I know I am.
Of course, the markets are all up this week, and Citi may just be going along for the ride. You know the way this investment thing goes: One week the market's up, the next it's down, and not for any seemingly good reason.
Just keep an eye on your company's fundamentals, and keep an eye on the long term, and before you know it, you're investing Foolishly.
Looking for in-depth analysis on Citi?
If so, look no further than our new premium report on the superbank. In it Matt Koppenheffer -- The Motley Fool's senior banking analyst -- will fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Citigroup. He'll also clue you in on what areas investors need to watch going forward. For instant access to Matt's personal take on Citi, simply click here now.

The fifth-seeded Schalick High School softball team scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to complete a 4-3 comeback win over No. 12 Glassboro in a South Jersey Group I playoff opener on Saturday.
Both teams registered eight hits on the day. And while the Cougars didn't have a single extra-base hit, they managed to drive in runs when they were most needed. Gracie Meyer led the way with a pair of singles, an RBI and a run scored.
Ashley Rey and Alyse Cheeseman each tripled and finished with two hits for the Bulldogs.

Santa Clarita City Councilman Frank Ferry said Thursday he is on the mend after fracturing several bones during a visit to Washington, D.C., and he hopes to be fully recovered in the next six to eight weeks.
In an email sent to The Signal Thursday, Ferry wrote that he was trying to jump onto a ledge to get to an elevator more quickly.
But he didn't quite make it, falling backward and fracturing his left femur, the left side of his pelvic bone and his upper left shoulder.
"This falls under the category of accidents happen and the things that came easy in your twenties are not quite as easy nearing 50 years old," Ferry wrote.
But none of the fractures require surgery or casting, Ferry wrote.
"This was not a towering stuntman fall ten stories off a rooftop, but rather two feet," he wrote.
Still, Ferry said he cannot currently use his left side and he has been moved to a rehab center.
"Our main goal is to safely be able to fly home to Los Angeles," he wrote.
Ferry was not in Washington, D.C., on any official city business when the accident occurred. Rather, he said, he was there with his fiancée to help move one of her sons to attend Georgetown University and to register his fiancée's youngest son at a summer camp at the university.
Ferry said he hopes to be fully mended in the next six to eight weeks.
The councilman, who was elected to office in 1998 and has served ever since, had this bit of advice:
"The moral of my mishap: take the ramp to the elevator, save the jumping for the experts."

Little Notes
Notes from the fringes of non-blogging:
- If you want to believe that America has talent, you might do well to ignore the show, America's Got Talent. It goes far in proving the opposite (although there are, of course, a few exceptions sprinkled here and there--which doesn't excuse the excessive praise that they heap upon some folks who should be ignored).
- But So You Think You Can Dance is a show with some genuinely talented folks. Often a true pleasure to watch and the judging tends to be spot on.
- Say it ain't so, Joe. Colorado is going to miss Joe Sakic, especially in a rebuilding year where fans are going to have a hard time rousting up much excitement for this Avalanche team.
- Some days it's hard to escape the idea that this is a horrible, horrible world that we live in.
- Bernie Ecclestone is a moron. He would do well to be fitted with a muzzle. Seriously.
- And here I had thought CompuServe was dead. Talk about surprising.
- Hubba hubba. I feel lust in my heart.
For what it's worth.

SAGINAW, MI — A firefighter suffered a minor injury while putting out a fire at 1214 S. Weadock on Monday.
The firefighter did not require hospitalization, according to Battalion Chief Steve Filary.
The fire started just before midnight in the one-story home.
There were flames in the living room and bedroom areas, Filary said.
There were no occupants inside the home, he added.
Fire crews were on scene for about 1.5 hours. Damages totaled around $10,000.
Officials boarded up the house and are investigating the
cause of the fire.
Crews also battled another fire at 351 South 19th earlier in the evening.

Woody Allen has finished another movie, and the cake at the wrap party, shaped like a movie clapboard, bore the legend WASP '81. Has Woody broken tradition and finally named a movie in advance? Not quite. WASP means Woody Allen's Summer Project. Woody's sidekick Tony Roberts says it's just as well the flick is still without a title because Allen changes his mind so often. Annie Hall, for example, "was supposed to be called Anhedonia, because its original theme was about a guy unable to enjoy life." But the earliest test audiences were more interested in the love story than the hero's griping, and so a classic was born.
If the Bid Fits
Shoe prices are high, sure, but those hand-sequined silk slippers that an anonymous California buyer snapped up at a Christie's auction this month for $12,000 are out of sight. The ruby slippers supposedly are one of three pairs (one is in the Smithsonian) made for Judy Garland for the movie The Wizard of Oz. But Garland's daughter Lorna Luft is saying Judy probably never wore them. The auctioned slippers are a size 5, while Judy's feet were an even more delicate 3, Lorna explains. She believes that the bigger shoes might have been worn by the Wicked Witch of the East when she was flattened by Dorothy's Kansas farmhouse. Since the Wicked Witch of the East was never seen in the movie except from the knees down, the $12,000 shoes might well have been worn by a mere extra, or maybe even a mannequin.
Life's Little Boots
Honestly, when you're a Senator and a millionaire and married to an itinerant star of stage and screen, life can get awfully hectic. Tiny details like paying off one's parking tickets can be overlooked. And so it happened that the Washington, D.C. police put a boot (a kind of wheel manacle) on the proletarian little yellow jeep that John Warner uses to ferry Liz Taylor out to their Virginia farm on weekends. (They hate to get the Mercedes muddy.) In D.C, the boot is used when a car's owner has piled up at least four parking tickets. Warner never suspected he'd been tagged that often, an aide protests. Apparently his children, who'd been using the vehicle, never mentioned the tickets they'd received. After the young Warners had been grounded, a spokesman for the Senator diplomatically praised the city's finest. Giving parkers the boot is "the one thing the District does efficiently across the board," he chuckled, "no matter who you are."
Descendant Unveiled
Robert Slater's new book about Golda Meir (Golda: The Uncrowned Queen of Israel) reveals at least one rather unroyal blemish on the late Prime Minister's behavior. One problem she could never face, he writes, is her mongoloid granddaughter, Meira Meyerson, now 26. In her memoirs, Mrs. Meir wrote of five grandchildren, not six, and for years Meira's official existence had been no more than a rumor. The result has been personal difficulty for Meira, who now lives in an Israeli home for the retarded. When she heard that her existence had gotten into print, she expressed relief. "At last, thank God, this book has been published," she said, "because all the people who laughed at me, who made fun of me, and who did not believe all these years that I was the granddaughter of Golda Meir will now know that I was telling the truth."
Dick Vermeil's mother (he coaches the Philadelphia Eagles) is upset that he doesn't mouth "Hi, Mom" at the TV cameras as players do during between-play close-ups. "Most of the time I don't even know I'm on television," he defends himself, but rather weakly. On second thought, says the coach, worriedly: "I sure hope she doesn't read my lips when I'm on camera."

Birds by name
While house martins are rarely affected by predation, house sparrows frequently damage or take over nests and attack adults, eggs and young.
Sparrows can be discouraged by placing a curtain of weighted strings in front of the nest. Sparrows find it difficult to fly up at a steep angle to the nest, but martins do so easily. The strings should be about 230 mm long, 65 mm apart and no nearer than 150 mm to the nest hole.
The strings should all be the same length to prevent tangling. They can be fixed with nails or drawing pins and weighted with steel nuts or plasticine. This curtain may be erected before the martins arrive but should only be put up during nest building if sparrows attempt to take over.
If house sparrows are keen to nest on your house, placing nestboxes with 32 mm entrance holes under the eaves well away from the house martin nests may persuade the sparrows to nest in these instead.

Up further tomorrow
Its in his 13F . He was not required to file previously as he was below the threshold
Indeed, it was reported in Fly on the Wall, but it was his holding as of Dec 31,2012! That's old news.
Nflx already doubled since, from 90 to more than 180! He might have sold everything already. Besides much of his holding was in long dated call options which would not affect share demand and supply.
I don't believe it for a second! He already tripled his money in a matter of 2 months, why would he still buy more at PE of over 600? Does he think NFLX is gonna make 10 bucks per share from now on? If anything he'd sell! Where did u see the article anyway??
Link Please ! If not cut the bull
He did. I just saw it myself. The guy who said it earlier told me that it was on "fly on the wall." I googled this: 17:28 EDT NAV, NFLX, TTWO, CHK Icahn reports increased stakes in Netflix, Chesapeake, Take-Two, Navistar. I am short and hoping that HLF will be a distraction that prevents NFLX from running up big tomorrow on the news. I will most likely have to cover tomorrow and take a modest loss. I will wait until the run up to $220 to reapply my short position. Luckily I sold half of my puts in the last few minutes before the close. But I still have January calls that I may need to cover.

State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais hasnt decided what hell recommend this summer for two of the states academically weakest schools, but he spent Monday in the Lowcountry learning more about Burke High and North Charleston High.
Both schools are among seven that will appear before the state Board of Education because of their persistent low performance and failure to succeed under the state accountability system. The board could continue helping the schools, remove the principals or take control of them.
Zais said Monday after visiting both schools that School Superintendent Nancy McGinley seems to be devoting the necessary attention to the districts persistently failing schools. She seems to be trying to put the best teachers with those schools to make them better, he said.
Its a challenge statewide to get the best principals and teachers in schools with the greatest need, he said.
Zais and a couple of his staff members spent about an hour at each school, as well as Stall High.
At North Charleston High, he spent the majority of his time talking with McGinley and Bob Grimm, the schools principal, but he also took time to walk the schools halls and check out students work posted on the walls.
Zais asked Grimm what he has been doing during his first year as principal. McGinley hired Grimm last summer, and the community criticized his lack of qualifications and experience. The school is the worst academically in the state in comparison with other schools with similar poverty levels.
His answer and their conversation revolved mostly around teacher quality. Grimm said that had been a priority, and he already has recommended that a number of teachers not be rehired next year.
Zais asked about the difficulty in removing weak instructors, and Grimm said thats the No. 1 hurdle hell face this year. The Charleston County School Board has the ability to overrule his and the superintendents decision to fire poor teachers.
Zais said that would be fatal. Accountability and authority go hand-in-hand, and school leaders need the appropriate authority so they can be held accountable for their actions, he said.
We expect principals and superintendent to be accountable, and they cant decide which teachers are hired and fired? Zais said. Its a disconnect in the system.
McGinley said one of the reasons she hired Grimm was because of his ability to evaluate teachers performance, provide support and improvement plans, and recommend termination. Grimm had observed every teachers classroom by the end of the first nine weeks of school, she said.
The beginning of change is very, very evident, she said. We picked the right person.
They discussed the need for extended learning time for low-performing students, and McGinley described her proposal to delay giving students state-required tests until later in the year if they continued school in the summer months.
Zais supported the idea and asked McGinley to write him a letter directly with that request and her reasons. He said he would handle the bureaucrats.

Felista's Fable Shows a Woman Struggling with the Stigma of Fistula
Felista's Fable swept the second annual Uganda Film Festival Awards held on Friday. It took home the awards for Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Isaac Kuddris), Best Feature Film, Film of the Year and Director of the Year (Dilman Dila).
The film is about a woman struggling with the stigma of fistula, one of Ugandas least recognized problems. A woman which suffers from this childbirth injury is left with chronic incontinence and in most cases, her baby is still born. Unable to control her flow of urine or feces, she is often shunned by her local community because of her foul smell.
Obstetric fistula is mostly caused by prolonged obstructed labour and a small pelvis. During labour contractions, the baby's head is constantly pushing against the mother's pelvic bone damaging the tissue in this area due to lack of blood flow to this area. After several days of obstructed labour, the affected tissues die off and a hole develops between the bladder and birth canal (vesico-vaginal fistula) and/or the rectum and birth canal (recto-vaginal fistula) leading to permanent incontinence.
In most cases, the baby dies and the young mother is left suffering with severe physical, emotional and social consequences. Due to the constant leaking of urine and stool, the mother is likely to develop ulcerations in the vaginal tract and easily contract infections. She may become afflicted with a condition known as "foot drop", making it difficult or impossible to walk because of extreme nerve damage to the lower limbs caused by prolonged squatting during labor.
Fiona Onyaka conceived after going through a traumatic experience of being defiled on the eve of her 15th birthday. She was a primary seven pupil. Unfortunately she lost her baby during delivery. Then a few days later, she discovered that she was passing urine and stool at the same time. She was forced to abandon her studies.
It is a similar story for Diana Mugisha: Mugisha was 17 when she got married and a year later the young couple was expecting their first child. The child died in the womb three days before it was removed, but not before it had damaged its mother's uterus. Her husband abandoned her two months after the delivery upon realizing that Mugisha was suffering from fistula.
These girls suffer profound psychological trauma resulting from their loss of status and dignity in addition to their physical internal injury.
Obstetric fistula exists because health care systems fail to provide accessible, quality maternal healthcare, including family planning, skilled care at birth, basic and affordable comprehensive emergency obstetric care. Fistula is an indicator for the deteriorating reproductive health and rights situations of women in poverty stricken rural African settings.
Like maternal mortality, fistula is almost entirely preventable. It can be avoided by delaying the age of first pregnancy and by timely access to quality obstetric care. Women with uncomplicated fistula can undergo a simple surgery to repair the hole in their bladder or rectum. The treatment cures up to 90 per cent of fistula patients.
The end of anguish is in sight if we only start now.

EMI at SuperComputing 2011
November 2011
SC11 has just closed and a huge crowd of participants has gone back home with a new input in mind: EMI-European Middleware Initiative.
Our small booth was certainly not a booth one came to visit to get the gadget, but certainly all visitors that stopped by, did have a real reason to linger talking with experts and learn more. This was the aim of this first EMI exhibition at SC11. Let a wider audience know that EMI is the major European Middleware tools and services provider and suggest more users to try our products. More occasions there will probably be to present our next achievements and to meet these new users and the ones to be.
Stay tuned with our news and updates! Meanwhile book a visit to the EMI booth at ISC12 (Hamburg, June 17-21), booth n. 731.

The 3rd EMI All Hands Meeting
October 2011
The third EMI All Hands Meeting, hold in the delightful venue of Padua, Italy, from October 17th to 19th, is over. The meeting has been the occasion for project members to assess the project achievements after its first half, and to consolidate strategies for accomplishment of the objectives left for the remaining period and beyond, with an outlook to the future sustainability of project products after the 18 months remaining.
Full details on the covered topics can be found in the event agenda.
EMI at the EGI Technical Forum/OGF33 in Lyon
September 2011
EMI was present at the EGI Technical Forum 2011 to held in Lyon, from September 19 to 23, 2011. The event was hosted by EGI.eu, the Computing Centre of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics (CC-IN2P3) and France Grilles, the French National Grid Initiative.
The Technical Forum provided an overview of the EGI community and reviewed the community's plans and progress towards the adoption of a federated virtualised infrastructure for European researchers. EMI ran a user tutorial where participants can experience EMI middleware and asked questions to experts. EMI had 2 other sessions: EMI Directions and EMI Security Directions, and contributed to the following face to face :
Data Management Workshop
Virtualization and Cloud Computing: EGI Virtualization Roadmap
EGI Sustainability and Business Models
EMI was also leading a number of sessions in the co-located OGF33, contributing to the co-located SIENA workshop and attending the invitation-only EC eConcertation Meeting. See a detailed report here

EMI at WLCG 2011 Collaboration Workshop
July 2011
The WLCG Collaboration Workshop in Hamburg on 11-13 July 2011 was an important event for EMI. The workshop was hosted by DESY, one of EMI's partners, and organised by the ever efficient dCache team, one of EMI's software providers. Danilo Dongiovanni and Cristina Aiftimiei, EMI's Testbed Leader and Release Manager respectively, presented the EMI 1 Kebnekaise distribution – why site administrators and users should upgrade to EMI and how to upgrade services which are in production now. That EMI 1 Kebnekaise is the first and only distribution that brings together four of the major middleware providers under one repository with better compliance to open source operating systems and guidelines, that Kebnekaise represents what has been delivered by the middleware consortia separately in a more standard, reliable and manageable way, that Kebnekaise addresses a significant number of outstanding issues in CREAM, DPM, VOMS and WMS, that Kebnekaise delivers a number of new features and more – are some of the reasons why migration to EMI could be attractive to those using and deploying middleware services. Danilo gave a run through on how one migrates from ARC, gLite, dCache and UNICORE to EMI services. Third party validation of EMI products via the EMI Release Preview activity, an opportunity for new and experienced users to preview the EMI release with the technical support of the EMI Testbed team, was also presented.
Zsolt Molnar, on behalf of the EMI FTS product team, presented the new FTS, FTS3.0. FTS3.0 will address a number of issues and limitations with the current FTS implementation – static channel model, oracle backend and complex configuration, among other things. The deployment and development roadmaps of FTS2.x and FTS3.0 were presented. The first FTS3.0 milestone with completely new architecture is expected in April 2012 with no channels, more transfer protocols supported and performance comparable with FTS2.0.
Apart from the welcomed visibility for EMI, the workshop also provided useful feedback and input for the project with respect to middleware services that are in production now and the evolution of WLCG. These include: Overall the middleware services are stable. Middleware documentation is improving. Cristina confirmed the continued yaim support and that no new profiles will be ported to use yaim – comments which were welcomed by some sites. CNRS, via Michel Jouvin, has announced it has quattor profiles for EMI services which will be made publicly available. This will help in the promotion of EMI services to large sites. With regards to batch systems support, Laura Perini of INFN Tier2 Milan offered best-effort help with Condor. Characterising the persistent 10% job failures in production, which has not increased with load, however, addressing it will improve efficiency. SE setup and optimisation are challenging tasks. Can EMI help with the job failure characterisation and lend expert hands to Tier1s' SE setup? There were several references to whole node scheduling to improve resource utilisation and efficiency. Is the middleware ready for this? How much of the middleware is IPv6-ready is one of areas EMI can investigate, following the talk from the HEPIX IPv6 Working Group.
Markus Schulz presented WLCG's deployment and migration plans. WLCG is advising sites and users to migrate to SL5-based EMI services if they benefit significantly. Sites decide, at their own pace, to migrate services with little state data e.g. BDII, CREAM-CE, WMS; those with a lot of state data like Catalogues and SEs should not move unless there is significant gain. Paul Millar clarified dCache components can migrate with no risk of data loss. Move to WN/UI should be delayed for three months pending user and operations verification. There was a clear message from WLCG to EMI to accelerate SL6 deployment and for sites to migrate to SL6 services when these become available. The issue of who drives or dictates deployment planning was raised – is it driven by the NGIs? the sites? user communities? Markus concluded with a number of actions: WLCG will recommend a planned controlled transition for WLCG sites; provide feedback to EMI and EGI; provide information in an official place; "WLCG EMI-1 repository", a controlled copy from EGI will be created.
The mandate of the recently formed WLCG Technical Evolution Group (TEG) was presented. TEG is responsible for defining the evolution of WLCG computing. Its scope, membership, discussion organisation were described. One area TEG will cover is workload management – for instance, how best to formulate and organise requirements for WMS and CREAM-CE, the move towards whole node scheduling and integrated pilot factories. In the ensuing discussion, it has been suggested that membership should not be exclusive and in particular input from middleware providers should be sought. There were encouraging and supportive statements from some of the sites towards EMI and EGI. "Is WLCG taking EMI and EGI seriously?" and "Common services and techniques compatible with EGI (and EMI) is in our interest" were statements from the presentations of Viewpoint from Tier1s and Tier2s.
Co-incidentally, EGI UMD 1.0 was released on the 11th of July. UMD 1.0 is composed of EMI 1 Kebnekaise products. This concludes the transfer and validation of the first release from EMI to EGI. The projects now move to production deployment and support following the recently signed SLA.

EMI Training at DCISS 2011
July 2011
The EMI participation at the Joint European DCI Summer School 2011 (DCISS) which took place in Budapest, Hungary from July 11 to 16, 2011, can be archived as a positive experience. The number of student has been 19, coming from different places (Romania, South Korea, Algeria, France, UK, Hungary).
DCI Summer school program was structured in six days, each of which dedicated to one of the projects participating to the school (EMI, IGE, Globus, EDGI, EGI-Inspire, StratusLab).
The EMI day was the first, and has been structured with theoretic presentations in the morning, and tutorials in the afternoon. The two morning presentations have been given respectively by Morris Riedel, covering the current/future project activities and perspectives, while Emidio Giorgio, rather than another presentation, featured demonstrations of some advanced EMI components (Argus, dCache/webDAV).
The afternoon sessions featured an EMI tutorial, actually split in two parts : the first illustrating basic concepts and usage of EMI clients for job submission and data management, while the second part proposed the execution of a complex exercise, requiring the exploitation of all the technologies illustrated in the first part . Coordination of both session has been done by Kathryn Cassidy, supported by Ivan Marton and Zsombor Nagy.
The second part required the execution of a complex exercise, where student had to scan a surface that contained some small bit of relevant information, among a lot of noise. Students had to analyze chunks of the surface it through a Java program, obviously seeking for the relevant bits of information. To facilitate their task, students were given with a hint file, that contained rough indications of the coordinates of the surface where the info were located.
Students had been divided in five groups, and each group was required to find four 'pillars' (the bit of information, represented with a text string). Surface and hints had to be retrieved from a DPM storage element, the surface scanned through job submission towards ARC and UNICORE resources, and once that results had been found, they had to be uploaded to a dCache SE.
The EMI day was closed with a wrap-up discussion between students and Morris, where the key points of the day were discussed and analyzed, being them a valuable input for the next EMI training event.

EMI at ISC'11
June 2011
The EMI exhibition experience at ISC11 can be considered a very successful one. We registered a relatively high attendance at the EMI booth where we collected valuable opinions and a positive review from everyone.
We received the visit of the press to which we explained what the EMI project is and what it aims at. So far achievements were as well illustrated. The press was impressed by the difficulty of the project, technically and in terms of human relationships (it's not always easy to ask people/projects to make a step back individually to try a bigger one in a common direction with others!), but amazed by the results so far achieved.
The booth was attended by many visitors who expressed their key concerns on many issues such, as for example, if the merged middleware stack will be able to replace the legacy middleware solutions. Or the sysadmins will be reluctant to do the upgrade. We were also asked if by using EMI one can build LCG resources? Will Tier-1 grid centers be facilitated by the UNICORE components of EMI?
The precise technical questions demonstrated how large is the interest in the EMI products and the will to know more about their evolution.
The quest for more details will continue to be satisfied through our web site and the events that the project intends to organize, included some on specific tutorials.
Thanks to all visitors. Visit us again in 2012 as more to be shown will be there!

The 1st EMI Technical Conference
April 2011
The first EMI Technical Conference will be organised by EMI in conjunction with the EGI User Forum, organized by EGI.eu, Vilnius University and LITNET, with the support of the EGI-InSPIRE project. It will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania from April 11 to 14, 2011.
The event is the first of a series and will be the occasion for all users, developers and technical experts to meet and discuss the achievements of the first year of the project and the milestones for the future. It will be the occasion for an overview of the features of the middleware so far developed and its usability by classic users.
The event will be, furthermore, the place where investigate the possibility for new users to take advantage of the middleware. A "meet the experts and developers" session will give the possibility to users from new environments and peculiar research, industrial and commercial areas to express needs in order to draw a path for a specific customized middleware able to meet particular requirements. An analysis of the middleware sustainability in the future will take place during dedicated sessions.
The event will be co-organized with EGI.eu, Vilnius University and LITNET in Vilnius and will take place along with the EGI User Forum in order to give the chance to users of both projects the opportunity to exchange experiences and know how and develop new collaborations. We look forward to meeting you in Vilnius!
EMI Signs MoU with European Grid Initiative
February 2011
After several weeks of negotiations and refinements, EMI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with its largest customer, the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI).
EGI coordinates the network of European National Grid Infrastructures which enable access to computing resources for European researchers from all fields of science.
The MoU was signed on January 27 by EMI's project director Alberto di Meglio and EGI.eu's director Steven Newhouse.
"The software from EMI is critical to the reliable use of our production infrastructure by our user community," says Newhouse. "This MoU identifies the relationship between the two projects for our mutual benefit."
"This MoU will make our business relationship stronger," continues Di Meglio. "It will help us to accomplish our common vision of providing a reliable and sustainable research infrastructure in Europe."

Chrysler reports $690 million first quarter loss
DETROIT - Chrysler Group saw big sales gains in the first quarter thanks to the new Jeep Cherokee and Ram pickup, but its results were overshadowed by charges related to its merger with Italian automaker Fiat SpA.
Chrysler lost $690 million in the January-March period. Without one-time charges related to the merger, the company's net income more than doubled to $486 million. In January, Fiat paid $3.65 billion to a union-run health care trust to acquire Chrysler's remaining shares.
UK company to track planes after Malaysian loss
LONDON - Inmarsat Plc, a provider of global mobile satellite communications services, said it will offer free basic tracking services for planes flying over oceans in the hope of preventing another incident such as the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
The British company said Monday that the service is being offered to all 11,000 commercial passenger aircraft already equipped with an Inmarsat satellite connection - most of the world's long-haul commercial fleet.
"This offer responsibly, quickly and at little or no cost to the industry, addresses in part the problem brought to light by the recent tragic events around MH370," said Inmarsat CEO Rupert Pearce.
FCC revising Internet rules after public backlash
WASHINGTON - Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler is broadening the scope of his proposed open Internet rules and suggesting tougher standards for Internet providers who wish to create paid priority fast lanes on their networks.
According to an FCC official, Wheeler made revisions after the commission received 35,000 public comments -many of them expressing outrage. The FCC first briefed reporters on the proposed rules last month.
Wheeler, a Democrat, also tweaked his proposal after the five-member commission's two other Democrats expressed concern.

Elysian Charter School in Hoboken has some talented documentary filmmakers.
For the fifth year in a row, students from the school have won the C-SPAN 2014 StudentCam Competition.
Seventh graders Brecon Hession and Alex Grossbard -- the son of Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer -- were presented their award today at a ceremony at the school. This year's topic asked students to create a five to seven minute documentary film addressing what they think is the most important issue the U.S. Congress should consider in 2014.
The duo decided to focus on super political action committees or Super PACs, which can engage in unlimited political spending independent of a candidate or campaign.
While Grossbard did most of the research, Hession took care of much of the video's editing.
The competition is open nationally to students in grades 6 through 12. Grossbard and Hession's video was selected from more that 2,000 submissions.
Elysian submitted thirteen videos on topics ranging from global warming, to gun control and marriage equality.
Aram Rubenstein-Gillis, who teaches at the Hoboken charter school, recalled the first year the school participated in the competition in 2008. A student with two moms wanted to cover marriage equality, but was too self-concious to follow through with the project.
This year, however, two groups of students covered the topic.
"It is helping students be engaged across the country," said Zimmer. "I am impressed by the challenging, yet important topics."
Zimmer congratulated the students on their efforts and their concern for issues that she said will continue to move communities forward.
When asked what advice he would give to students who want to get involved in this competition, Grossbard said: "Focus on the research and be passionate about the issues."
The duo's documentary featured interviews with several officials on the topic of Super PACs and asked questions like which party benefits more and whether there should there be a limit on Super PAC contributions.
Grossbard said his favorite person to interview was his mother, because she has real-world political experience.
Meanwhile, Zimmer said she did not support Super PACs.
Rubenstein-Gillis asked the students to think of topics they would like to cover and people they would want to interview over their summer break. While it is not mandatory or part of the curriculum, teachers encourage students to get involved in the project.

The Terrelle Pryor saga last year taught Oregon fans not to get too excited over what a top recruit says about Oregon.
But heck, that was last year. Here's what running back Bryce Brown, regarded by many as the nation's top recruit (as Pryor was a year ago before signing with Ohio State) told InsidetheU.com about the Ducks:
"Right now I am being honest, it is probably going to come down to Miami and Oregon,'' said Brown, who has committed to Miami, where his brother plays. "It is going to be close and I am just going to pray on it and talking to my brother, he is going to support me with whatever I do. It is going to be a very tough decision.
"It is safe to say that Oregon has got the edge by a little bit, but my decision is going to be a spiritual decision.''
I can hear Duck fans getting spiritual as we speak.
And the word out of Tidewater, Va., is that quarterback Tajh Boyd, a 5-star recruit who could turn out to be as big a star as Brown, is leaning toward the Ducks.
But for a Pryor-esque reality check, Boyd did commit to West Virginia last year before changing his mind and committing to Tennessee before changing his mind and considering Oregon and Ohio State and Boston College then deciding to visit Clemson this weekend.
Oh, and Brown said that he is also leaning toward not making a decision until after the Feb. 4 signing day.
Here's more on the Brown saga, which probably will be held up by Miami's search for an offensive coordinator.

Can you define these popular missing words?
a small child that has no inhibitions about picking their nose in public right in front of strangers, and pulling a huge booger.
Arrgggh, I can't sit at this table to eat, there are two little noseminers across from us.
