NRC not ready to grant Yankee exemption
BRATTLEBORO — Saying Entergy Corp. "is under no legal obligation" to shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has asked Entergy for additional information before granting its request that it be exempted from costly studies and safety improvements.
"While the NRC staff fully understands your intentions to permanently shut down the Vermont Yankee facility, the staff also understands that Entergy is under no legal obligation to shut down the facility," wrote Douglas Pickett, senior project manager for the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, in a letter sent to Entergy late last week.
Pickett said Entergy had already notified the NRC on Nov. 22 that it would not spend resources to perform the required post-Fukushima analysis for hardened vents, as well as prepare its overall post-Fukushima plan.
Fukushima, Japan, was the scene of a catastrophic nuclear plant failure in May 2011. The plant released radioactive material into the air after a tsunami struck the area. "The staff is concerned that if your current plans change and you decide to enter an extended shutdown period as opposed to submitting the (NRC) certifications, Vermont Yankee would not be prepared to meet the requirements of the order on schedule," Pickett said.
NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan said Tuesday the NRC language was "very precautionary in nature," but NRC knew Entergy planned to shut down Yankee during December 2014, depending on what fuel is left in the reactor.
And, Sheehan said, there is no requirement that Entergy inform NRC about its final date of operation, until it actually shuts down. But, he said, NRC's two resident inspectors remained at Yankee and were aware of operations at the Vernon reactor.
Entergy Nuclear spokesman Robert Williams said Tuesday the company would supply additional information requested by NRC within the required 30 days, including a date for the hardened vent report.
Sheehan said Entergy had filed about seven requests for exemptions from various NRC requirements or regulations covering the last year of its operation. He said none of the exemptions had been granted yet and were still under review.
They vary from requests to replace on-shift control-room operators with certified fuel handlers and to allow the certified fuel handlers to declare emergency conditions on security or weather-related issues. It requested a technical specification change to replace control room operators with certified fuel handlers, and to permit the relaxation of secondary containment requirements when moving fuel.
Sheehan said all those requests would be common for a nuclear plant stopping operation.
Vermont Yankee is one of about five nuclear reactors in the United States that are shutting down in the near future.
Williams said before Entergy made the decision to shut down Vermont Yankee last August, the company had planned to implement the Fukushima hardened-vent changes.
"Since we are planning on permanently ceasing operations at the end of 2014, which will moot the entire issue, we have asked to be excused from submitting a plan his year," he said.
But, he said, until the issue becomes officially moot, the NRC is asking for additional information and a specific date for its plan.
Last year, the closure of five nuclear power plants were announced, Vermont Yankee, San Onofre in California, Kewaunee in Wisconsin, Crystal River in Florida and Oyster Creek in New Jersey. Of those, only Vermont Yankee and Oyster Creek are still operating.
Since then, speculation has grown in the nuclear press than another six nuclear reactors might shut down as well.

Subject: A.Word.A.Day--laconic
laconic (luh-KON-ik) adjective
Sparing with words, concise, terse.
[From Latin Laconicus, from Greek Lakonikos, from Lakon, Laconian, a resident
of Laconia, an ancient country in southern Greece (Capital: Sparta). From the
the reputation of the Laconians for terseness.]
The first Latin book I had told about a Persian envoy trying
to intimidate the Spartans by saying: "When our archers shoot their arrows, the sun will be blotted out."
The Spartan replied: "Good. We will fight in the shade."
On another occasion, the Persian envoy delivered a theat
about what would happen if Persia invaded Sparta.
The Spartan king replied: "If."

The History of Archaeological Collecting by Museums in WalesStaff: Elizabeth A Walker
This recently-completed study of the history of collecting by some museums across south Wales during the twentieth century (awarded an MPhil by University of Wales, Lampeter) has shed light on the trends and patterns in collecting archaeological finds. It has looked at both active and passive collecting by museums and examined reasons behind changes in the ways different museums have collected. A series of papers are now being prepared for publication from this work.

Every fifth smartphone sold last year featured system-on-chip with two general-purpose cores, according to Strategy Analytics market tracking firm. Samsung leads transition pace to multi-core SoCs for smartphones: 60% of its smartphone chips sold last year are dual-core application processors.
Dual-core system-on-chips (SoCs), which power ultra high-end smartphones, gained strong traction in 2011, accounting for nearly 20% of total smartphone applications processors shipped, according to, Strategy Analytics market research firm. This Strategy Analytics research shows that Samsung led the dual-core smartphone applications processor market in 2011, with 60% volume share, followed by Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Nvidia. Samsung's success in dual-core processors can be attributed to its strong sales at Apple and in Samsung's own mobile handset division.
"Qualcomm captured 16% volume share in the dual-core smartphone applications processor market in 2011 on the strength of its dual-core Snapdragon applications processor products MSM8x60 and APQ8060. Strategy Analytics believes that Qualcomm is well-positioned to make significant share gains in 2012 with the help of its LTE-integrated dual-core Snapdragon processor MSM8960," said Stuart Robinson, director of the Strategy Analytics handset component technologies service.
Stand-alone applications processors accounted for 90% of total dual-cores shipped in 2011. Single-core applications processors are much more likely to be integrated with baseband capabilities: 72% of total single-core SoCs shipped in 2011 featured integrated baseband capabilities.
"Strategy Analytics would advise Nvidia to focus on high volume tier-one design-wins in 2012 in order to maintain its first-mover advantage with quad-core processors. Nvidia, whose Tegra 2 smartphone shipments declined 8% at the end of 2011 - compared to shipments in the first half of the year - lost momentum, despite being early to market with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors," said Sravan Kundojjala a senior analyst with Strategy Analytics.
Strategy Analytics anticipates dual-core applications processor penetration into mainstream smartphones will accelerate through 2012 and into 2013, and new ARM architectures such as Cortex-A5 will help dual-core penetrate entry-level smartphones at the start of 2013.

Post-polio support group marks 25th anniversary
PARKERSBURG – The Mid-Ohio Valley Post Polio Support Group celebrated its 25th anniversary Monday.
Area mayors and group members gathered at the Blennerhassett Hotel Monday to read a proclamation marking this week as Polio Awareness Week. Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell, Marietta Mayor Joe Matthews, Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz and Vienna Councilman Jim Miracle were present for the reading.
The group was formed in 1988 in Marietta by Becky White, and was a support group for polio survivors and their families. In its early years the group boasted more than 50 members, but now has a membership of about 15-20, with about 10 active members, said group President Warren Peascoe.
According to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), polio is a viral disease that affects the spine and brain, causing damage to nerve endings and crippling paralysis. About 35,000 people were affected by the disease in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Since there is no known cure, scientists have instead focused on inoculations to contain and prevent the spread of the disease.
According to the CDC, the United States became polio-free by 1979, but the disease is still spreading in Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan and some areas of Africa.
Peasco, who had polio as a young child and never fully recovered, said the end of polio in the United States did not mean the end of suffering for families affected by the disease. The Mid-Ohio Valley Post Polio Support Group was created to offer support to those who've survived polio and those that care for them.
"We're trying to educate people to the delayed effects of polio," Peascoe said. "It's called Post Polio Syndrome."
Those who survived polio often began to regain some movement as new nerves took the place of those damaged by the disease. However, as survivors aged new symptoms began to emerge, such as fatigue, weakness, new paralysis, pain, breathing and swallowing problems, intolerance to cold, memory and concentration issues, and osteoporosis.

Blog a Book, Jump a Brook, Take a Look
My plan is to have all of the 150+ letters posted, with short commentaries, by the first of September. I am hoping that gives me enough time to index, add family groups for a road map to the characters, figure out a cover (I am not the most artistically inclined person) and publish around the 1st of November. This project is a typical one for me; I have not done this kind of project before; I don't know exactly how to do it,but jumped into the project with more enthusiasm than sense. As summer is coming on with all the pleasurable activities pulling at me, I need accountability. Therefore I am posting periodic updates on this blog and asking for comments and suggestions --- and encouragement from my Geneablogging friends. I have learned much from you all in these few short months I have been part of this great group..

Great idea; it may be the way I will have to deal with a couple of my big "transcription projects."ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing the links to Heather's blog post about using Blurb. I came across Blurb a couple years ago and got all excited about creating a book from some of my blog posts (Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories) only to find that it didn't work with blogs on the Blogger platform. I never gave up on the idea but didn't come across a publisher who could slurp from Blogger. Obviously, Heather is using Blogger and managed to slurp her book there so hopefully I can do it now too! :-)ReplyDelete
I struggle to research and write blog posts in the summer. I really prefer to be outside... the summers are too short here in Michigan and I hate to spend the time inside at a computer. However, summer is also when I have the most time to take on a project like writing up my family history. Decisions, decisions. [Sigh]
I keeps saying I'm going to do this with my mom's scrapbook and diaries...but it's such a huge task that I procrastinate. Maybe I'll make it my 2011 resolution.ReplyDelete
Great idea - all the letters saved in one place for the future. Keep plugging away at it, and you will get there JoReplyDelete
I'm rooting for you Joan! I think a book of Uncle Ralph's letters is a perfect summer project.ReplyDelete
Joan, good luck with your project. After those posts about Blurb I heard from quite a few bloggers who tried it and liked the results very much. Several also used Blurb just to produce photo books of their antique photo collections, which was a great idea (I'm thinking of doing the same). I heard from TK Sand that books over 120 pages will be "perfect bound" not sewn bindings. If a sewn binding is important to you, try to keep the number of pages below 120. All softcover books are also "perfect bound" instead of sewn.ReplyDelete
love the idea. I love Uncle Ralph's letters.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ReplyDelete
Glad you posted that's It's what I wanted to know. I look forward to hearing more and seeing what it all ends up as. You have time to decide.ReplyDelete
My niece showed us several books she had blurb make for her. I thought the paper, the printing, and color were really good. I wanted to investigate the binding a little more closely but didn't want to pull it apart in front of her to examine it. ;-) I hope you'll keep us posted on your efforts with your book - your experience, photographs when it's finished, etc. Good for you!ReplyDelete
I wanted to thank each and everyone of my friends who responded with such encouragement.ReplyDelete
This is a great project, Joan. You'll be thrilled when you have the end product in your hand. The grunt work gets tiresome, but when you see what you made, you'll want to make more. It's enormously satisfying!ReplyDelete

Currently writing this from my carrel at Carpenter Library watching youtube videos on Zineb Sedira. Her video MiddleSea will be on view during Mapping Identity, which I am currently *attempting* to discuss in a paper for my French cinema and immigration class.
Here's a snippet, but just know that this small little thing of a video link just doesn't do justice compared to how it will be installed at CFG…
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/OTDekiWr-0Q" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Working in photography, installations, videos, Zineb also writes and presents many of her own personal writings (hmm, what doesn't she do???) concerning hybrid identity and her family's own experiences immigrating to France from Algeria.
A short update: Met with Mike, our graphic designer, last week in regards to our exhibit catalogue and it looks like things are off to a good start! Hmmm, yay or nay to embossed letters? Cover art or no???

Phils Swept by Mutts, er, Mets
As I've mentioned in a previous blog entry, my sister and I rooted for opposing teams during our formative years. I was, of course, phaithful to the Phillies, while she rooted for the Mets only because she had a crush on Lee Mazzilli. As sisters so often do, we made fun of each other's choices – the best way for me to get on her nerves was to refer to the Mets as "Mutts."
Well, judging from this photographic evidence, maybe I wasn't so far off. Here's last night's starting pitcher, Mike Pelfrey, with a little tongue action going on:
Not wanting to miss out on the fun, David Wright joins in on the tongue-wagging:
Kind of like pound puppies, hoping to find a loving home. Well, keep looking, you're not welcome in my house!
Anyway, the Phillies once again did not heed my advice and administer a butt-whippin' to the Mets. They were swept in a short two-game set.
In the first game, Chan Ho Park took the mound for the Phillies, looking for a decent start after being pretty dismal so far this year. As Johan Santana was pitching for the Mets that night, all logic seemed to indicate that this game was a lost cause.
Miraculously, Park matched Santana through six innings, before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in a scoreless game. Six innings, one hit, 2 walks, and 5 stikeouts! Way to go, Chan Ho! Who'd of thunk it? Unfortunately for Park, his ERA is still a less than stellar 6.67.
The Mets plated an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh, as Carlos Delgado was able to score all the way from first, on a bad throw by Pedro Feliz that sailed past Ryan Howard and into the outfield. Jayson Werth may have had a play at the plate, but he hesitated before throwing.
Need I remind these guys what happens when you hesitate?
That lone run would be enough, as the Mets won, 1-0.
In the second game, Jamie Moyer pitched like you would expect from a
relic 46-year-old, giving up 7 runs in 2 1/3 innings. Props go again to the bullpen, for pitching 5 2/3 scoreless innings and giving the Phils a chance to stay in the game.
And they did try their darndest to come back once again. Ryan Howard launched a bomb to the deepest part of the field; too bad there was no one on base. Jayson Werth hit a 2-run shot to left. After being down 7-1, the Phils managed to get as close as 7-5, but there would be no miracle.
Oh well.
The Phillies are back home now for a weekend set against the Braves. Despite the two losses, they still hold a slim 1/2 game lead over both the Mets and Marlins. Let's not let it slip away!

I know what you mean on hesitating. Just throw the ball! Good luck on the home series!
Great tongue shots, Sue! Sorry about the sweep by the Mutts. I mean Mets.
Julia – the most frustrating part of it is that lone run was the only run scored! I'm sure Werth is kicking himself over it.
Jane – if only I could take credit for those photos! I was watching from the comforts of home last night. But I try to keep an eye open for humorous photos in the daily slideshows on the team sites.
Funny that you call them the Mutts! I have frat brothers who are Mets fans that call them the Mutts!!!
Oh my goodness! I just noticed my Dodgers will be in Phlly next week!
It seems like every game that Johan Santana pitches is a lost cause for the other team. He has some SERIOUS stuff.
Heh. You got two out loud laughs from me: Mutts and that the 'pound puppies' thing. =) Well done.
But you've done it, I'm afraid. I don't think I'll ever see yucky Reyes and the Mets play the Phils again without thinking of them as the Mutts. Perfect…just perfect. =) Love it.
PS My blog is How 'Bout Those Phils.
Don't you hate it how players don't listen to your advice?
Be sick for one week, and I miss everything! Hope your guys do better!

Is being a slacker now a disability?
The regulatory state again finds a new way to try to handicap businesses. This time it is the EEOC:
Employers are facing more uncertainty in the wake of a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission warning them that requiring a high school diploma from a job applicant might violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The development also has some wondering whether the agency's advice will result in an educational backlash by creating less of an incentive for some high school students to graduate.
The "informal discussion letter" from the EEOC said an employer's requirement of a high school diploma, long a standard criterion for screening potential employees, must be "job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity." The letter was posted on the commission's website on Dec. 2.
Job related things like a modicum of assurance, supposedly offered by high school completion, that a candidate might be able to read and write?
And if that isn't a necessity anymore, then why do it. Of course that means no college so no studying OWS for credit, but hey, Wal-Mart may have to take you.
Many, many, many people, upon the passage of the feel good Americans With Disabilities Act warned that stupidity such as this was the inevitable and logical end game of the regulators.
As you can see, and as usual, they were right.
Maria Greco Danaher, a lawyer with the labor and employment law firm Ogletree Deakins, said the EEOC letter means that employers must determine whether job applicants whose learning disabilities kept them from obtaining diplomas can perform the essential job functions, with or without reasonable accommodation. She said the development is "worthy of notice" for employers.
"While an employer is not required to 'prefer' a learning-disabled applicant over other applicants with more extensive qualifications, it is clear that the EEOC is informing employers that disabled individuals cannot be excluded from consideration for employment based upon artificial barriers in the form of inflexible qualification standards," she wrote in a blog post.
So, it is the job of the company, according to Danaher, to make these sorts of determinations because the EEOC thinks it is discriminatory to simply require a high school diploma which has always been used to filter candidates?
One assumes then that requiring a college degree would fall in the same category, no? I mean most of those who require it, other than wanting someone who has demonstrated the intelligence and perseverance to complete a prescribed course of study satisfactorily (and the sort of positive traits that relate to work that such an accomplishment brings), really have no "job related" requirements except the usual: the ability write, read and do basic math. How dare they?
This is an "informal discussion letter", better known among those who follow politics as a "trial balloon". The EEOC has every intention of trying to make this a regulation. What they're doing now is similar to the "public comment" portion that is supposed to give the public the ability to point out the huge downside of their proposal before they make it a regulation anyway.
Oh, and about that incentive to finish high school being lessened by something like this? Hand wave away:
"No, we don't think the regulation would discourage people from obtaining high school diplomas," said Peggy Mastroianni, legal counsel for the EEOC. "People are aware that they need all the education they can get."
Are they? That explains the 8% drop out rate I guess. But look at that statement. Pure assertion on both ends of it. "We don't think" … famous last words of the stereotypical bureaucrat. There's never been a regulation that had unintended consequences, has there?

JXTA in a Nutshell
In part two of this series of book excerpts on getting started with JXTA, from JXTA in a Nutshell, learn about peergroups and discovery, which are important for understanding peer-to-peer Web services.
Peers self-organize into groups. JXTA does not define what these groups are, nor why they exist: the JXTA framework supports the creation of groups and the definition of group membership, but it is up to cooperating peers to define groups, join groups, and leave groups. Among other purposes, peergroups serve to:
Define a set of services and resources
In order to participate in an auction, a peer must find a JXTA peergroup that provides an auction service. The peer must join that group; only peers that have joined the group can use the services available in the group.
There are a number of important resources that exist within each peergroup. A service is a specific type of JXTA resource. A peer that wants to use the resources of a particular peergroup must join that peergroup. Similarly, peers can communicate only with each other if they have joined the same group (although, as we'll see, all peers belong to the NetPeerGroup, so they can always communicate with each other).
Provide a secure region
In This Series
Getting Started with JXTA, Part 5
Getting Started with JXTA, Part 4
Getting Started with JXTA, Part 3
Getting Started with JXTA, Part 1
Because of their membership requirement, peergroups form an entity with a logical boundary. Peergroups may strongly enforce a membership requirement so that the boundaries define a secure environment as well: content within a peergroup can be accessed only by peers belonging to that group, so a peergroup with strict membership requirements can secure its content from the rest of the world.
The underlying network topologies of peers within a peergroup do not necessarily reflect physical network boundaries, such as those imposed by routers and firewalls. A peergroup can consist of peers on completely disparate networks. Peergroups virtualize the notion of routers and firewalls, subdividing the network in secure regions without respect to actual physical network boundaries.
Create scoping
Peergroups are typically formed and self-organized based on the mutual interest of peers. No particular rules are imposed on how peergroups are formed. Peers with the same interests tend to join the same peergroups. Therefore, the abstract regions defined by a peergroup provide an implicit scoping mechanism for peergroup operations. Peergroup boundaries delimit the search horizon when looking for peergroup resources. Peergroup scopes help scalability by reducing network traffic explosion within the JXTA network. Messages within a peergroup are propagated only to peers that are members of the peergroup.
Create a monitoring environment
Peergroups enable peers to monitor members, interactions (traffic introspection, accountability, traceability, etc.).
The JXTA platform defines two kinds of peergroups:
1. The NetPeerGroup
This is the default peergroup a peer joins after booting the JXTA network; it is sometimes called the World Peergroup. Configuration of the NetPeerGroup is typically done by the administrator in charge of the network domain on which the peer is located. The NetPeerGroup defines the initial scope of operations of a peer and the default services it provides.
2. User peergroups
Users (and applications) can create new peergroups with their own set of customized services and membership policies. User peergroup services are created by either cloning and extending the NetPeerGroup services or by creating new ones. All user peergroups are subsets of the NetPeerGroup.
All peers are automatically members of the NetPeerGroup peergroup; they do not need to take any special actions to join the group, and they cannot leave the group. Peers may opt to join and leave other groups at will. In order to join a group, a peer must discover the group and then ask to join it. Depending on the group, the peer may have to present authentication credentials, and the group will vote on the peer's application.
Let's see how this all works in the context of the shell. When the shell starts, it automatically joins the NetPeerGroup. One way that you can find the group that a shell belongs to is with the
whoami -g command:
JXTA>whoami -g
<Description>NetPeerGroup by default</Description>
Any peer can create a peergroup. Peergroups are typically composed of peers that have either a common set of interests (e.g., music or baseball peergroups) or that interact with each other to exchange contents.
Peergroups allow us to introduce the notion of protocols and services in the JXTA platform. A peergroup provides a set of services that peers can utilize. The JXTA platform defines seven core services:
This set of core services is used to "seed" the peer so it can discover and find enough resources to support itself. The NetPeerGroup services provide sufficient functionality for allowing this dynamic bootstrapping mechanism. The core services were selected to enable a peer to have enough functionality to create and join a large variety of peergroups:
User peergroups can extend, replace, or add new services, allowing a variety of peergroups to be created.
A peergroup does not need to provide all of these services; it can provide only those that are necessary to support the peers within the group. Most peergroups, however, will provide at least a membership service. Since peers are always members of the NetPeerGroup, they can always obtain these services from the NetPeerGroup.
The NetPeerGroup provides all seven of these services. In general, each of these services defines a specific protocol used to access the service.
Any peer can create a peergroup. The shell creates a peergroup with these commands:
JXTA>mygroupadv = mkadv -g mygroup
JXTA>mkpgrp -d mygroupadv
The first of these commands creates an advertisement (
mygroupadv) of a new group with a symbolic name of
mygroup (advertisements are discussed in more detail later in this chapter). The
mkpgrp command actually creates the group.
When you create a group in this manner, information about the group is broadcast to other peers using a discovery protocol that we discuss in the next section. In general, a peer can find a peergroup in two ways:
1. When a new group is created, an announcement of that group is broadcast, and peers who are listening will discover the new group.
2. A peer can initiate discovery to find groups. In the shell, this is accomplished with the
groups -r command:
JXTA>groups -r
group discovery message sent
You can see which groups the shell knows about by using the
groups command:
group0: mygroup
group1: anothergroup
In this last example, we know about
mygroup because that's the group that we created; we know about
anothergroup because another peer on the network created that group and we discovered it. Note that the NetPeerGroup does not show up in this list, even though it is also a peergroup.
Each peergroup is uniquely identified by a unique peergroup ID. The peergroup ID is guaranteed to be unique within the entire JXTA network.
Once a peer has discovered or created a group, it must join the group. This entails sending an application (with any necessary credentials) to the group and awaiting a response. The membership service of the group will vote on the new application and send back either an acceptance or a rejection.
A shell joins a particular group by using the
join command:
JXTA>join -d group0
Enter the identity you want to use when joining this peergroup (nobody)
1Identity: jra
After executing this command, the shell is a member of the group
mygroup. A quick note about syntax here:
group0 comes from the list of groups we obtained with the
groups command. You can use the symbolic group name (e.g.,
mygroup) to join a group only if that shell created the group. To join a group that the shell discovered (such as
anothergroup), however, you must use the
group# that the shell has assigned. Because the shell caches information about groups, it might have created the group, exited, and restarted. In that case, you must also use the
group# that the shell has assigned.
A peer can join multiple groups by executing another
join command; the
join command can also be used to determine which groups the peer has joined:
JXTA>join -d group1
Enter the identity you want to use when joining this peergroup (nobody)
1Identity: sdo
JXTA> join
Joined group : mygroup
Joined group : anothergroup (current)
Commands that the shell executes will be associated with the current group (
anothergroup); the current group can be changed with the
chpgrp command:
JXTA>chpgrp mygroup
n this command, you always use the symbolic group name rather than the
group# name. The current group is used to find any service that the shell needs; it is also the group printed by the
whoami command.
Membership in any group created by the shell is automatic, so these examples work well when dealing with groups created by two different shells. A shell might also discover a different group, however: one that has membership criteria and requires the shell to present some special credentials. Membership in such groups requires that you know how to fill out a credential request, which is group-specific; we'll look at how this works in Chapter 7.
A peer can cancel its membership in a group. The shell cancels its membership in a group with the
leave command:
This command cancels membership in the current group. You cannot leave the NetPeerGroup.
So far, our shell does not have a peer. In the JXTA world, this is not a good thing, as a peerless JXTA application is not very useful. The first thing it must do, therefore, is find other peers with whom it can exchange information. The process of finding other peers is called discovery.
The process of discovery applies to any JXTA resource: peers discover other peers, and they also discover peergroups, pipes, advertisements, and other resources. There are two ways in which peers discover resources: peers discover resources dynamically, and they use special, statically configured peers to tell them about JXTA resources. Discovery occurs within the context of a peergroup: a peer attempts to discover resources within a specific peergroup.
Peers use the JXTA Peer Discovery Protocol (PDP) to discover JXTA resources dynamically. The PDP defines the lowest-level technique that is available for peers to discover resources. On an IP network, it consists of two parts: a multicast message that is sent on the local network and the use of rendezvous peers to discover peers beyond the scope of the local network. Other network bindings will behave differently, but the essential operation of the PDP is that the requesting peer sends a message, and resources that hear the request will respond directly to the peer. Therefore, a peer using PDP will discover all JXTA resources that are on the local network or are known by the peer's rendezvous peers.
The implementation of discovery is actually a feature of the peergroup in which the peer is running. Certain peergroups may define other protocols by which peers can discover resources within the peergroup. The PDP is implemented by the discovery service that runs within the NetPeerGroup (and most other peergroups).
peers -r command of the JXTA Shell implements the PDP; it will discover all other JXTA peers on the local network. Before executing this command, you may want to start a shell on another machine on your network (the next part of this series will show you how to start a second shell on the same machine as the first).
Now in the original shell window you can execute commands to discover the second peer:
peer0: name = Test Shell 1
JXTA>peers -r
peer discovery message sent
peer0: name = Test Shell 1
peer1: name = Test Shell 2
If you execute the same commands from the second shell, you'll notice that it numbers the peers differently. The peer numbers are used only internally by the shell application; peers are not numbered in a JXTA sense (except for their unique IDs).
It can take some time for the shell to discover other peers; executing the
peers -r command may not necessarily report all of the peers on the network until the shell has completed its discovery process. In addition, some peers may not respond because they miss the multicast message; no reliable network protocol is used to discover peers. On the other hand, as more peers are added to the network, discovery is faster: that's because when a peer responds to a discovery message, it sends information about itself and about all other peers that it has already discovered.
There are special JXTA peers known as rendezvous peers. These peers are like lookup services: they keep a list of peers (and other JXTA resources) that they know about, and other peers query them for that list.
If you've been following along with our example, and you're on a computer connected to the Internet, when you first executed the
peers command, you received a list of peers. This is because the shell is configured to contact certain known rendezvous peers on the Internet; by default, it will automatically contact the hosts 220.127.116.11 and 126.96.36.199. These hosts showed up in our earlier example as peers JXTA.ORG 235 and JXTA.ORG 237.
These hosts are the boostrapping set of rendezvous peers for the NetPeergroup. Peers may discover rendezvous peers dynamically and use them in place of these; the intent of the bootstrapping rendezvous peers is to initiate the discovery process of dynamic rendezvous peers.
When the shell contacts the peer at one of these hosts, it will get back a list of all other peers that have discovered that same rendezvous peer. Therefore, a JXTA Shell running on a machine connected to the Internet may automatically discover many peers.
You can use the
rdvstatus command within the shell to see if the shell has successfully contacted a rendezvous peer:
Rendezvous Connection Status:
Is Rendezvous : [false]
Rendezvous Connections:
Rendezvous name: JXTA.ORG 237
Rendezvous name: JXTA.ORG 235
Rendezvous Disconnections:
In this case, the shell itself is not acting as a rendezvous peer; the shell has made contact with two rendezvous peers.
There can be as many rendezvous peers as peers in the network, although a certain ratio between rendezvous peers and other peers is expected to be maintained, depending on the peergroup discovery policy. Some peergroups will have a few rendezvous peers; others will have many. Smaller peergroups typically need fewer rendezvous peers. Larger peergroups tend to need more rendezvous peers to reduce the chance of creating islands of peers that do not communicate with others.
A peer can dynamically advertise itself or remove itself from the list of rendezvous peers. Peers can discover new rendezvous peers dynamically and add them to their list of known rendezvous peers. As with the shell, any peer can be preconfigured to know about a fixed number of rendezvous peers. Each peergroup can define its own ratio of peers to rendezvous peers to support the peergroup-specific requirements.
Because a peer knows the address of a rendezvous peer, it can use whatever network protocol it wants to contact it (assuming, of course, that the rendezvous peer also supports that protocol). In the shell, the preconfigured rendezvous peers are all defined as using HTTP as their transport mechanism.
JXTA services and applications are free to use any other technique to find each other. The shell, for example, can be configured to pass its requests to the rendezvous peers through a proxy; this is useful if you must pass through a firewall to get to the Internet. In this case, the shell wraps the standard PDP message into an HTTP request that it sends to the proxy server; the proxy forwards it just as it would any other HTTP message. When the rendezvous peer receives the request, it puts its answer back into the HTTP response and sends it to the proxy, which returns it to the shell.
Any variation on this technique is valid, as long as all the peers agree on the technique. At a minimum, peers will always be able to discover each other using the basic PDP (assuming, of course, that their network topology supports the discovery we described above).
Consider the peers shown in Figure 2-3. When the JXTA Shell joins its local network, it will send out a broadcast version of the PDP. It will get back two responses. One response will come from the JXTA searching service, and the shell will now know about the searching service. The other response will come from the JXTA rendezvous peer. Because the rendezvous peer is sitting on a machine that is attached to both the local and corporate networks, it has previously discovered the searching peer and the file-sharing peer. When the rendezvous peer receives the PDP broadcast method from the shell, it will tell the shell about these two peers.
The shell will then send a PDP message via HTTP directly to JXTA.ORG 237. The rendezvous peer at JXTA.ORG 237 will then tell the shell about all the peers that JXTA.ORG 237 has discovered; this is how the shell can discover the JXTA auction service. In Figure 2-3, the HTTP message passes through a proxy in order to pass through the firewall.
Figure 2-3.
JXTA peers and discovery
Passing through the proxy is a value-added feature of how the JXTA Shell is programmed (and a value-added feature of the standard Java language bindings that we use throughout this book). At a basic level, the PDP works over HTTP; if we were to remove the firewall from this network, then the JXTA file-sharing service could use PDP directly to contact JXTA.ORG 237 and discover the JXTA auction service.
Also note how peer discovery is improved as more peers are added to this example. When a new peer is connected to the local area network and executes the basic PDP to find peers dynamically, it will immediately find the JXTA auction and file-sharing services. That's because the shell has already found these services. When the new peer sends its discovery message, the shell will respond with all the peers it knows about.
JXTA peers can elect to become relay peers. Relay peers send dynamic discovery requests across different networks.
In Figure 2-3, the JXTA rendezvous peer sits on two different networks. The JXTA Shell discovered the JXTA file-sharing service because it knew about the rendezvous peer and contacted it directly. If the JXTA rendezvous peer was a JXTA relay peer instead, then when the JXTA Shell performed its multicast discovery, the JXTA relay peer would have seen the multicast message and routed it onto the corporate network. This would have been seen by the JXTA file-sharing service, which would have sent a message back to the shell.
The end result here is the same: the shell discovers the service, but the procedure is quite different. In the case of the rendezvous peer, the shell had to have explicit knowledge of the rendezvous peer in order to contact it. In the case of the relay peer, the discovery would happen dynamically.
In practice, peers often serve as both relay and rendezvous peers.

Chevrolet is an iconic American brand, with a storied history stretching back more than 100 years. While Chevy's sedans and trucks have long been the foundation of the automaker's lineup, sports cars like the Corvette and Camaro have won many hearts by offering exhilarating performance, attractive styling and advanced technology at accessible prices. Those trends continue today, with vehicles like the technologically advanced Volt and the affordable-yet-stylish Sonic wearing the Chevrolet "bowtie" emblem. Long-running nameplates like the family-friendly Malibu sedan and work-ready Silverado pickup provide safe, reliable and comfortable transportation, while also offering better fuel economy and performance than ver before. Newer products like the Cruze prove that Chevrolet is truly a global brand, with more than a million drivers worldwide choosing the fuel-efficient compact sedan. A recent advertising campaign said, "Chevy Runs Deep." Indeed, the brand seems to be as common in American pop culture as in it is in our garages and driveways. Prince sang about his "Little Red Corvette" and Snoop Dog rapped about "Ridin' in My Chevy." And Chevrolet vehicles have starred in countless movies and TV shows. Chevrolet continues to bounce back from the economic crisis with a robust lineup of compelling cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers.

- Abstract
- The Ca II triplet (CaT) feature in the near-infrared has been employed as a metallicity indicator for individual stars as well as integrated light of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) and galaxies with varying degrees of success, and sometimes puzzling results. Using the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph on Keck we obtain a sample of 144 integrated light spectra of GCs around the brightest group galaxy NGC 1407 to test whether the CaT index can be used as ametallicity indicator for extragalactic GCs. Different sets of single stellar population models make different predictions for the behavior of the CaT as a function of metallicity. In this work, the metallicities of the GCs around NGC 1407 are obtained from CaT index values using an empirical conversion. The measured CaT/metallicity distributions show unexpected features, the most remarkable being that the brightest red and blue GCs have similar CaT values despite their large difference in mean color. Suggested explanations for this behavior in the NGC 1407 GC system are (1) the CaT may be affected by a population of hot blue stars, (2) the CaT may saturate earlier than predicted by the models, and/or (3) color may not trace metallicity linearly. Until these possibilities are understood, the use of the CaT as a metallicity indicator for the integrated spectra of extragalactic GCs will remain problematic.

A 38-year-old woman was injured while snowmobiling on a central Iowa lake.
The Department of Natural Resources says Jill George was operating a snowmobile Saturday evening on North Twin Lake in Calhoun County when she hit a snow drift. She was thrown from the snowmobile and suffered a serious head injury.
She was taken to a hospital in Fort Dodge and then flown to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
George is from the Webster County city of Clare.
The DNR says 24-year-old Hilary Hansch, of Fort Dodge, was a passenger on the snowmobile. She wasn't injured.
Neither woman was wearing a helmet. The DNR says the snowmobile was rated for one person.

Student cyber bullying investigated in Minn.
Police and the Anoka-Hennepin School District say they're investigating a group of middle school students who took a fight to Facebook that escalated with taunts of suicide.
Police say the online bullying began after female students from Blaine and Coon Rapids argued during a recent football game. Authorities say the girls took the fight online to Facebook and someone posted a message urging the Coon Rapids girls to kill themselves. Coon Rapids Capt. John Hattstrom says police take the threats very seriously.
Investigators say the suicide posts came from a fake Facebook account and they're still trying to track down who's behind it.
KMSP-TV reports the district called police after a Northdale Middle School staff member was told about the cyber bullying.
Earlier this year, the district agreed to be more proactive about bullying after settling a lawsuit over gender-based harassment.

Your rifle is more than an investment, it's an extension of yourself. Ensure its protection by carrying it in this all-business, padded, tapered nylon soft rifle case. Most standard scoped bolt action rifles will fit the Gun Runner as will non-military semi-autos with magazine removed (store it in the side pocket) and single and double pump, semi-auto, side by side and over/under shotguns, too. Before ordering, unload your rifle, making certain there is no live ammunition in the chamber or magazine, set the safety on or leave open the bolt, then measure it from butt to muzzle tip for overall length and from the top of the scope tower (if you have one) to the bottom of the grip, and then choose one of three available sizes:
Please note that the widest width is measured from the butt forwards to about halfway the length of the case before it begins to taper down.
Our tough #10 YKK self-locking zippers feature the easy-pull Fair Trade Monkey's Fist Zip Knots. The zipper itself is made of Delrin which handles the cold with ease when metal zippers would freeze shut and fail in the field. The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford is because they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your rifles; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
The Gunner Runner Soft Rifle Case is lined with 400 denier weight CORDURA® nylon that's easy to clean. This lining will not collect dirt like a fleece-lined rifle case, thus preserving your rifle's finish from scratches. In addition, the nylon lining won't hold moisture like a fleece lining, preventing rust from degrading the finish and performance. Lastly, your scope will be free of loose sheep hairs using this gun case.
The 3/8 inch thick neoprene rubber foam padding protects your rifle from field and travel abuse; this high tech foam handles extreme cold without crumbling or breaking down.
The handy raised external pocket holds shooting accessories such as two boxes of typical rifle ammo, a rangefinder, bi-pod, gloves, orange vest or pair of binoculars. So there's no excuse should you forget to add your cartridges or you won't forgive yourself!
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around rifle cases that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a soft sided rifle case, Gun Runners are built tough. Starting with the most durable soft textile material available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that's stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag.
All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in less expensive soft rifle cases that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the case, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our service as veteran parachute riggers.
The Red Oxx Gun Runner soft padded rifle case is a true rifleman's field gun bag: built to last, designed to protect, created to serve.

CEA2006 Specifications:
The 4-channel GM-6300F delivers a whopping 600 watts max (60 watts x 4 or 150 watts x 2 at 4 ohms; 75 watts x 4 at 2 ohms) — plenty of juice to power your high-quality speakers. It's also got built-in 4-channel crossovers. Speaker level inputs for easy connection to an OEM headunit. Oversized power terminals. And a wide input level of 400mV to 6.5V.
Higher Power
Having more power isn't just about LOUD. It's also about CLEAN, getting the most out of your speakers and your music. Constant road noise makes it hard for the music to be heard clearly. But with 600 watts max. power, you'll get to hear all the words and all the notes.
4-Channel Crossovers
For getting the music just the way you like it, 4-channel crossovers are tough to beat. You can route the low frequency signals (80Hz or lower, -12dB/octave) to the speakers that handle them best, and filter out the higher-frequency signals. This optimizes your system's efficiency and delivers the best possible sound quality.
Speaker Level Inputs
What, you DON'T own a Pioneer headunit? Well, we won't hold it against you. In fact we'll even help you build onto your system. The GM-6300F's speaker level inputs allow you to connect your OEM unit (or any unit that doesn't have the typical RCA-type inputs) without having to buy add-on adapters. SO, the install goes faster, you save money, and you've got a Pioneer amp in your vehicle.

Marla Maples, 50, Wows In A String Bikini
If you've still got it, flaunt it! Donald Trump's ex-wife Marla Maples did just that over the weekend while hitting the beach in Malibu.
The 50-year-old showed off her flawless figure in a black string bikini as she soaked up the sun and traipsed around the water.
If only we all looked that amazing at her age!
Maples is most known for her connection to " The Celebrity Apprentice" boss. She had a two-year affair with Trump while he was still married to Ivana Trump.
Ivana later divorced the billionaire, and Maples and Trump wed in 1993. The marriage lasted for six years, and they have a daughter together, Tiffany.

HCC radiography scholarship to honor Kenneth E. Lutz
HAGERSTOWN, Md.- Hagerstown Community College recently held a reception to honor and name the Radiography Technologies Scholarship in memory of Kenneth E. Lutz. Family and friends of Lutz, as well as faculty and students, were present as the doctors and staff of Associated Radiologists, P.A., contributed $10,000 in his memory and the scholarship was officially named the Kenneth E. Lutz Memorial Scholarship.
"Ken was a longtime supporter of the Radiography Program at Hagerstown Community College, serving on the radiography continuing education committee," said Stacey Lowman, executive director of college advancement. "Thanks to the contributions and efforts of Ken and the Associated Radiologists team, this scholarship will continue to grow and provide valuable resources for students in the Radiography Program."
The Radiography Program is designed to provide students with successful entry into the practice of radiography and prepares students for practice as entry-level radiographers in health care facilities and specialty offices. Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification examination in radiography.
The radiography scholarship was first awarded in 1992 by the HCC Foundation, Inc. and since then has helped numerous students complete their educational path to becoming radiographers.

A woman called 911 after Subway employees put marinara sauce on her flatbread pizza instead of pizza sauce.
37-year-old Bevalente Michette Hall, 37, of Gastonia, North Carolina, was upset that her flatizza - Subway's flatbread version of a pizza - came with what she deemed to be "terrible" sauce, the Gaston Gazette reported.
Hall told the 911 dispatcher that her pizza was made incorrectly and that she couldn't eat that kind of sauce. She demanded her money back, but the employees wouldn't give it to her.
Hall reportedly called 911 twice with the same complaint.
Police eventually arrived at the restaurant and arrested Hall, charging her with misuse of the 911 system.

Edward Howell possesses the qualities and credentials necessary to ably handle the position of Wayne County Coroner. He is a licensed funeral director and bereavement counselor, holds a specialization certificate in child and adolescent grief counseling, and volunteers his time to co-facilitate a children's bereavement group with Hospice of the Sacred Heart. His college B.S. degree is in Biopsychology (body and mind) from Messiah College, with an A.O.S. in Funeral Service and Mortuary Science from Simmons Institute. His job will be to provide deathcare, not healthcare.
Remember that a coroner's job is to investigate any death that occurs outside of a medical facility, or in a medical facility if the patient has been admitted for less than 24 hours, with the only exception being a patient who expires under home health or hospice care. The coroner must determine the cause and manner of death, drawing on medical records, information from the family, any witnesses to the death and police reports. If the coroner feels a more thorough examination needs to be completed, the coroner may schedule a post-mortem examination, or autopsy, which can only be performed by a medical board certified pathologist. In Wayne County, the pathologist usually comes from Lackawanna County, since no pathologist is based in our county. Our present coroner, Carol Lienert, cannot perform an autopsy, nor can either Edward Howell or Dr. William Davis. The coroner, however, will be expected to advocate for the deceased and deal with the family. The coroner will be on call at any hour of the day or night, any day of the week, to provide services to the deceased. The coroner is not a prosecutor. The chief responsibility of the coroner is to serve as a team player and deathcare provider in the best interests of the deceased.
Dr. Henry and Jean Nebzydoski
