Sometimes, you need that fresh feeling between showers- not always possible. I know that Cottonelle Fresh Wipes are meant for the bathroom but we actually keep them in the back of my van in the dispenser, because its where we seem to need them the most. Especially since I've been very pregnant through three very hot and HUMID summers, I've found myself wishing I could just freshen up quickly when leaving the park, or anything that was outside, really. Having a tub of these wipes is super handy- not just to wipe me down (arms, back, etc) but with little kids, you NEVER know what they will manage to stick their fingers into, onto, or their siblings' fingers into or onto. Its always best to be prepared for anything with small children, and having some kind of wipe has saved many a parent!! Humidity is not my friend and sadly, since having kids, I sweat a lot when it is humid out. I like being able to do a quick and discreet wipe down and feel refreshed!!
Honestly, I love these wipes. Going from mom to woman in the same minivan you just never know what surprises are in your purse, your car, your seatbelt buckle. I've been happy to grab a moist (clean) wipe from a container that I knew the source of instead of having to try to run to a bathroom and use a scratchy public restroom paper towel with plain water or super-drying soap for my skin.
I like having the Cottonelle Moist Wipes around- you may, too! You can "Get Fresh With a Friend" through June 1st and save $1.00 off the wipes by visiting here!
"I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of the Cottonelle brand and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate."[ad#glam between posts]

California Towhees in the Nature Gardens
Have you ever seen this bird?
California Towhee visits the Natural History Museum. Image courtesy of Kimball Garrett
Okay, so unless you are a birder type, you may look at this picture and think, "How the heck do I know? It just looks like a dull, brown bird to me." This is almost exactly what I thought when I saw the picture in my inbox recently. However, after reading the e-mail it was sent in, I realized this is a bird I see, and hear, in Griffith park all the time. You see, this bird can be much easier to identify when it is alive—scratching around in the leaf litter in front of your eyeballs, and chirping away close to your earholes.
First rule of bird nerd club, you gotta look at more than just color and pattern!

Wisconsin police officer to be honored in memorial
A nonprofit group in Washington, D.C., has voted to add the name of a Milwaukee-area police officer to a national memorial honoring officers killed in the line of duty.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund had previously excluded Wauwatosa police Officer Jennifer Sebena. That's because even though the 30-year-old was fatally shot while on duty Dec. 24, the suspect in the shooting is Sebena's husband, which could make her death a case of domestic violence.
But after pressure from Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the Wisconsin Professional Police Association and others, the group reversed its decision Wednesday.
WPPA spokesman Jim Palmer voted to include Sebena's name on the memorial in the national capital.
Palmer says the final vote was 15 to 0.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued the following statement after the votes were tallied:
"I commend the Memorial Fund for making the right decision. I believed from the start there was no intention by the Fund to deprecate Officer Sebena's sacrifice but rather the initial decision to deny her this honor was an oversight. Officer Sebena is deserving of this and her presence on the memorial will honor her colleagues who have lost their lives and in the line of duty as well as those who continue to put their lives on the line every day."
Van Hollen wrote a letter to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund to ask him to include Officer Sebena on the Memorial.

The PlayStation 3's motto is "It only does everything," but since last night, when the entire PlayStation Network went offline for some as-yet-unknown reason, it might be more accurate to say "it only does some things." So which things can you still do with your PlayStation 3?
The PlayStation 3 Can Still…
- Access The Internet: Although the PlayStation Network is borked, your PS3 console should still be able to access the internet as if nothing is wrong.
- Play Single-Player Games: As far as I am aware, there are no single-player games that require a functioning PlayStation Network in order to work. You should still be able to play single-player games you downloaded in the the past as well.
- Play Local Multi-Player: This is the perfect opportunity to get a friend on your couch and re-experience the joy of couch co-op.
- Earn Trophies: Although you won't be able to show off your accomplishments to your pals, you'll still be able to earn 'em. Presumably, when the PlayStation Network is back up, (which could take as long as two days), your friends will be able to see your new single-player trophies.
- Play Blu-Ray Discs And DVDs: You'll still be able to watch Monsters Inc. on BlueRay, don't worry, and that's almost as good as playing Portal 2's co-op, right?
- Stream Media From Your Computer: If you use your PS3 to watch movies or play music stored on your PC, you'll still be able to enjoy it.
The PlayStation 3 Can Not…
- Play Any Games Online: As far as I am aware, any game that features online play cannot work without the PlayStation Network, rendering some online-only games like MAG totally unplayable.
- Access Steam: With the launch of Portal 2 earlier this week, Steam access has been added to the PSN, but because you can't access the PSN, no Steam for you.
- Access the PlayStation Store: You won't be able to buy new downloadable games or content until the PSN goes back up.
- Access "Cloud-Saved" Games: Portal 2 for the PS3 allows users to store their games in the proverbial clouds, for retrieval on any PS3 that's connected to the PlayStation Network… which means no PS3 on Earth, at this second.
- Enter PlayStation Home: Not being able to sign on to the PlayStation Network means not being able to visit your fake virtual Home home either.
- Play Netflix Movies: You won't be able to watch Netflix without logging into the PSN, and don't try to get clever and access Netflix with the PS3's web browser; it won't work. You'll be told the PS3 browser doesn't support streaming. Bummer, man.
- Play Hulu Content: Ditto
- Make Toast: This is the case whether the PSN works or not, but it still makes me mad.
I think that just about covers everything… except the things I forgot. If there's anything you know about parts of the PS3 that aren't working, let me know in the comment section below. Also: Anyone want to make a prediction for when the PSN will be up again? My guess: 3 PM PST today.

NASA, we have a problem
Space agency tells informational privacy advocates that thousands more files than first reported were lost in Halloween computer theft
By Kevin Uhrich 02/21/2013
Retired JPL scientist Dr. Robert Nelson and other members of a class-action lawsuit that ultimately failed to stop NASA from cataloguing intimate information about its contract employees take little solace in knowing they were right — that personal data obtained by the government about its workers could somehow eventually fall into the wrong hands.
But with NASA currently admitting that it has lost tens of thousands more personnel files than originally believed with last fall's theft of a password-protected but unencrypted laptop computer, Nelson is more concerned than content in knowing that he was right all along. What else, he asks, is the space agency not telling him and others affected by this latest agency-wide security breach?
Now, Nelson said soon after learning the actual number of personnel files affected totals 40,000, "We are demanding that they tell us exactly what they think they lost."
Informational Privacy
Nelson and his fellow plaintiffs — former and current scientists and engineers at JPL, which is owned by NASA and managed by Caltech — claimed in their case before the US Supreme Court, NASA v. Nelson, that the government had no need to know details about such things as a contract employee's drug use history and other potentially sensitive personal information that might come to light from interviews with former landlords, bosses, teachers, friends and lovers. Plus, NASA would be unable to adequately protect that information once it had it, they argued.
In January 2011, however, the US Supreme Court disagreed, voting 8-0 to uphold provisions of Homeland Security Presidential Directive #12 (HSPD-12), recommended by the 9/11 Commission, issued in 2004 by President George W. Bush and later implemented by the US Commerce Department.
The case, first filed as a request for a preliminary injunction before HSPD-12's scheduled October 2007 implementation at JPL, was struck down by a US District Court judge in Los Angeles. However, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned that ruling, granting the injunction and setting the stage for NASA to appeal to the Supreme Court.
In the final analysis, the High Court found that the government has a legitimate need to thoroughly investigate its workers, even contract workers, as are most of JPL's more than 5,000 employees.
"The Government has an interest in conducting basic background checks in order to ensure the security of its facilities and to employ a competent, reliable workforce to carry out the people's business. The interest is not diminished by the fact that respondents are contract employees," states the ruling. "There are no meaningful distinctions in the duties of NASA's civil-service and contractor employees, especially at JPL, where contract employees do work that is critical to NASA's mission and that is funded with a multibillion-dollar taxpayer investment." Justice Elena Kagan sat out this case, having worked on implementing HSPD-12 in her former role as solicitor general.
The Privacy Act of 1974, Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the opinion for the court, prohibits the unwarranted release of confidential personnel files of government employees.
On Halloween night, at least the second portion of the respondents' contention was proven correct — an unencrypted laptop computer containing thousands of personnel files, an unknown number of them possessing sensitive information acquired under provisions of HSPD-12, was stolen from a car parked in Washington, DC.
At the time, NASA claimed 10,000 files full of "personally identifiable information" (PII) were stolen, sparking calls for a congressional investigation. On Tuesday, a NASA official told the Pasadena Weekly that number now stands at 40,000.
The next step
For Nelson and others involved in the Supreme Court case, among them now-retired JPL flight engineer Dennis Byrnes and Mars rover Curiosity "driver" Scott Maxwell, who after 18 years at JPL is reportedly going to work for Google, fighting over the informational privacy issues raised by HSPD-12 didn't end with the Supreme Court's Jan. 19, 2011 ruling.
In early March, attorneys are expected to file briefs with Administrative Law Judge William G. Kocol, who in late January heard four days of testimony from Nelson, Byrnes and Maxwell, as well as NASA v. Nelson co-litigants JPL engineer Larry D'Addario and lab scientist William Banerdt, in an appeal to the National Labor Relations Board's ruling in favor of the engineers and scientists.
The five men were accused of inappropriately using NASA email to communicate with other employees about the potential ramifications of the Supreme Court's ruling. The NLRB found that Caltech and JPL violated the rights of Nelson and the others by issuing them discipline citations — two of which could result in dismissal — for sending out a co-written message on Jan. 27, 2011 regarding the possible impact of the Supreme Court's decision on the lives of 8,000 people working at JPL and other NASA centers.
"We are not arguing the issues that were settled by the Supreme Court with regard to our original suit with HSPD-12. What we are arguing now is whether or not we have the right to inform our fellow employees of what the Supreme Court decision was and what the impact on them would be," Byrnes explained.
"Obviously, we're optimistic, and we're not unbiased, but we think the judge will rule in our favor, and we have reason to expect Caltech will appeal that ruling. So that's the next step," he said, adding that much like the case against HSPD-12, this issue could also ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
"The NLRB had already notified Caltech that they are in violation of the National Labor Relations Act, and Caltech elected to spend all those resources to fight this before an administrative law judge," Nelson noted. "They hired two lawyers from the Paul Hastings law firm downtown, and we know what the hourly charges are for those kinds of lawyers. For some reason," he said, "they feel this is an important issue."
40,000 notified
In a Feb. 1 email addressed to Byrnes, Kelly M. Carter, NASA's Breach Response Team Lead in Washington, wrote that the agency learned of the latest batch of affected personnel files in mid-January, and has been "working non-stop since day 1 of the breach to analyze the backup file and identify individuals whose information was contained in it."
For the most part, Carter writes, the latest files were from the Name Check Request System (NCRS), which pre-dated HSPD-12. "The format of some of the data, which included names, some SSNs [Social Security numbers], and some dates of birth was not conducive to automated searches and that's why it was not found earlier in the process. It appears that the NCRS information was generated from old reports that were used for auditing or reporting the status of access requests to NASA facilities," she wrote.
All told, Carter wrote, "The 18,000 [additional] individuals include current and former NASA civil servants and contractors from all NASA centers; approximately 3,500 of them were from JPL." Up to that time, NASA had notified a total of 30,000 people about the Halloween laptop theft, Robert Jacobs, the space agency's deputy administrator of public affairs, is quoted saying in a story that appeared in Saturday's edition of The New York Times.
In the email to Byrnes, Caster said the additional lost files included less inclusive NCRS data dating back at least six years. But, Carter writes, "Information provided by individuals to obtain access to NASA facilities, in response to HSPD-12 or other requirements, was on the stolen laptop."
By Tuesday, the number of lost files had been adjusted upward.
"It's really 40,000," said NASA spokesperson Allard Beutel. "We wanted to cast the widest net possible to make sure that we contacted anyone who possibly could be affected by this. We've sent letters to approximately 40,000 people, offering identity protection and credit monitoring."
So far, said Beutel, whose own personal information was contained on the stolen laptop, "We have absolutely no indication at all that anyone's personal information has been compromised." The investigation remains ongoing, he said.
'Certainly a mystery'
NASA has had a number of problems keeping personal data secure. In 2007 and 2008, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said the space agency had reported 1,120 "security incidents," according to a 2009 story in The New York Times. The GAO report also revealed that in 2009 a NASA center reported the theft of another laptop computer, that one containing about 3,000 unencrypted files regarding arms traffic regulations and wind tunnel tests for a supersonic jet. NASA was eventually required to encrypt its laptops, according to The Times, but not all of the agency's 38,000 laptops had been refitted by the time of the Halloween theft.
Nelson, who served as a co-investigator on NASA's Voyager Grand Tour of the Solar System and was the project scientist for its Deep Space 1 mission, said he and other HSPD-12 plaintiffs warned of such a breach when they first filed their lawsuit in District Court more than five years ago.
"We were ignored by the courts," Nelson told the Pasadena Weekly at the time of the computer theft. "Now, unfortunately, by virtue of the cavalier behavior of a NASA bureaucrat, our argument has been proven. Our nightmare of five years ago has become a reality."
"Most everyone we know of at JPL who is an active employee, and some recent retirees, and some others who have been gone from JPL for quite a while are included in the list of people who have gotten letters. Obviously, there are many, many more at other NASA centers," Byrnes told the Weekly.
"They are not saying who lost the laptop. That's a personnel item. They won't say who it was, and we have no idea," Byrnes said. "But why an individual would have on their work laptop at NASA headquarters 40,000 people's personal identification information … why they would be carrying that around is certainly a mystery."
Nelson said he and his fellow litigants have been "absolutely vindicated" in their concerns about the possibility of their personal data being lost or stolen.
"We were correct in raising [the issue] to begin with, but we were surprised that Caltech continued to fight us on it. You would think the least they might give us is an apology," he said. "Caltech also promised us that all our data would be secure."

May 1, 2012 —
UPPER DELAWARE REGION – A true servant leader is now at rest after making the waters of the Delaware River a much safer place for the past 33 years. Until the day he died on April 17 following a battle with cancer, Richard "Dick" Rhodes was still preparing to save lives during the upcoming season by sending out an email message to fellow river patrol members about their upcoming training.
That training is slated for this weekend, and according to those who knew Dick, the avid river patrolman would have liked nothing better than to mentor more people to become members of the National Canoe Safety Patrol (NCSP), an organization that he co-founded 33 years ago and dedicated his life to.
"His heart was in it until the very end," said Dick's wife, Mary K., who willingly partnered in the endless efforts the couple devoted to NCSP activities. Mary K. had an idea what she was in for when Dick proposed to her three decades ago at Skinner's Falls, one of his favorite places to practice his life-saving skills. Along with the beautiful diamond came a request for permission to assume leadership of the NCSP, an arrangement that would frame the rest of their time together.
Over the years, Mary K. has shuttled and fed members who hail from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. "Our kitchen table has transformed strangers into friends," she said. "We've met some amazing people and we all take care of one another. When you're out there on the river, you need to know that somebody's got your back."
Mary K. describes her husband as a world changer and mentor teacher, as well as one who made a difference to his fellow man. "He didn't do it for the recognition. He always gave others the glory," she said.
Dick's motto was, "Not one of us is a true believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself," according to his wife. "He lived the simple truths that uplift the value of all people," she added. "He believed that God values all people equally no matter how they are viewed by society. There is no one at the top or bottom, only all of us in need of hope."
Dick also had a natural gift for connecting those with differing opinions. "He stood in the gap," said Mary K. "He always looked for solutions, to get beyond the differences to protect the environment and the river."
Troy Bystrom and Dejay Branch, two key NCSP volunteers, credit Dick with bringing them into the organization. "If it wasn't for him, we would have never learned the importance of protecting the Upper Delaware River and how special it really is," said Bystrom. "Dick loved the river with all of his heart and spent every moment he could on the river or educating others on the importance of protecting this special place."
Nick Spinelli, executive director at Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed District described his relationship with Dick, who he met as a college intern with the National Park Service (NPS). "I learned a great deal about paddling and respect for the river from Dick," wrote Spinelli in a reminiscence. "I marveled at his dedication in spending more days on the river than most of the interns or paid staff. It was easy to tell that Dick's passion for the river was as strong as his passion for the people around him."
Spinelli helped in planning the 2010 River of the Year Celebration for the Lackawaxen and scouted the river with Dick in advance to ensure a smooth day for the sojourners. "I consider that day to be one of the finer days of my life. I'm truly grateful to have had the good fortune of knowing and learning from such a humble, well respected and noble man. He made our corner of the world a better place and lived as an example of selfless service. Every time I paddle the Upper Delaware I'll be in the spiritual company of a man who called so many 'friend.'"
Among those dear friends is NPS education specialist, Ingrid Peterec, who interacted almost daily with Dick due to the partnership between the NPS and the NCSP volunteers who make their way to the Delaware River every weekend to help those who find themselves in precarious or life-threatening situations.
"Dick played such an important part in my life not only professionally but personally," said Peterec, whose daughter, Elizabeth joined NCSP last summer with Dick's encouragement and who will inherit his kayak. "She had the best summer ever and can't wait to get out on the river. Dick and Mary K. took my family and I into their lives and made us feel part of their family. He was my sounding board and my friend."
A celebration of Dick's life is scheduled for June 8 at 11 a.m. at the Bethel Lutheran Church in Rowland, PA. The Lackawaxen River Conservancy will also hold an event to celebrate his years of service. The NCSP has established the Richard Rhodes River Rescue Scholarship Fund in his memory. Send checks to NCSP, PO Box 91, Lackawaxen, PA 18435 or visit www.nationalcanoesafetypatrol.com [1] for more information.
Details are also available regarding the May 4-6 Training Weekend and upcoming Skills Drills Events.

Welcome to the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) at Fresno State.
"Chance favors the prepared mind." This saying is attributed to Louis Pasteur, the great 19th century scientist who (among other contributions) invented the process of Pasteurization and made many contributions to the field of microbiology. This quote embodies my philosophy as a scientist-educator and as the new Dean of CSM. Our priority is to provide the cutting-edge education students need to prepare them for the opportunities they face in the 21st century, and particularly those relevant to the Central Valley region of California. The College enrolls over 3500 undergraduate and graduate students in 21 bachelor's and master's level programs across the seven disciplines in our College - Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth & Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. We also offer dozens of science and mathematics courses in the general education program and as support for other majors.
The heart of the College is its people. We have a diverse and accomplished group of over 150 faculty members who are dedicated to high-quality teaching, research and service to the University and the Central Valley community. Our faculty engage in disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary research collaborations in engineering, agriculture and social science. Our students come primarily from the Central Valley but also from other places around California, the U.S. and the world. With our faculty, students have many opportunities to do science in the lab, field or in the community, which help to prepare them for careers, graduate school and professional programs beyond the classroom experiences they have in their majors. Last year, students presented their research in over 200 talks and posters and were co-authors on 59 scientific publications. All of our programs are supported by a talented and creative staff that is dedicated to student success, as well. As a result of their Fresno State CSM degree, students enter exciting industry careers, pursue doctoral degrees and research careers, become K-12 and community college teachers, enter the health professions, conduct environmental research, and work for local, state, and Federal agencies. Many stay in our region and contribute to the culture, vibrancy and economy of the Central Valley.
The Dean's office is located in Science II, Room 301. Please stop by and see us any time!Sincerely,
Susan Elrod, PhD

Draft versus Best Quality Printing on the Cricut Imagine Machine
Above is a photo showing the difference between the draft and best quality settings on the Cricut Imagine machine using Georgia Pacific white cardstock from Walmart. Best to print on best quality setting, don't you think? But good to have the option of draft so you could do some test cuts.

Huge difference! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for showing the difference, I was wondering about it when someone asked. I just LOVE that owl ;)ReplyDelete
I usually do a draft print when printing out color coupons so I don't use up too much ink! Thanks for all the info you've been posting. By the time I get my Imagine, I will know how to operate it BLINDFOLDED!ReplyDelete
Huge difference. Thanks for showing it to us.ReplyDelete
Wow...so glad you showed the difference in the two!ReplyDelete
question here...since the best is better than draft..it would use the ink faster..would it make sense to just use blackout line on color cs??? is that possible??ReplyDelete
thanks for all demos you share with us....learning so much from you chickies...
Wow! That is a HUGE difference! Thanks for the example.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the info on the Imagine. It is a pretty neat machine! LindaReplyDelete
Looks like with the right image the Draft option would be great for a Shabby Chic style. It's already a bit muted to begin with and could be ready to add to a distressed card.ReplyDelete
Thank you for showing that. Now my next question is are the number of pages that they have predicted per ink cart for best or draft?ReplyDelete
Thank you again BIG help!
Chris.Kim33 at yahoo dot com
Wow! Huge difference! Thanks for showing that.ReplyDelete
Thanks for showing the difference. Very helpful information.ReplyDelete
You can tell the difference, just depends on what you are using it for and how much ink you want to save. Thanks for the sharing, now when I get that machine I said I wouldn't get I'll know how to use it.ReplyDelete
Great comparison!ReplyDelete
Hhmm. Not that I am getting an Imagine ; ) BUT I think the draft version would come in handy for embellishing. Stickles and the glaze pens would stand out better or at least have a chance of enhancing the image more.ReplyDelete
THX for showing us the dif.
Just a difference in how much ink you want to use, and if you wanted a muted tone versus true color.ReplyDelete
Good to know the difference - thanks for posting. I guess if you wanted a "watermark" effect you could try the draft quality. :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 10, 2010 at 12:18 PM
Wow, quite a difference there, thanks so much for showing.ReplyDelete
sewkimsew (at) gmail (dot) com
Huge difference! But I can see a use for both images.ReplyDelete
Wow! That's quite a difference!!! Do they have anything in-between? (like on a printer, everday fast printing is better quality than draft, but not as good as presentation)ReplyDelete

NVIDIA Corp. on Monday unveiled its special series of chipsets intended for AMD Opteron servers and workstations, adding valuable capabilities to professional computers based on 64-bit microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices.
NVIDIA Aims AMD64 Servers, Workstations
"This new technology greatly positions NVIDIA to become a preeminent supplier of server and workstation platforms. We are pleased to be working with a number of leading suppliers for their upcoming Opteron processor-based platforms," said Drew Henry, general manager of platform business at NVIDIA.
While NVIDIA is mostly known for its graphics processors and chipsets for consumer personal computers, the company is likely to gain popularity in the markets of workstations and servers in future, after debuting its first workstation chipset in mid-2003.
NVIDIA is constantly adding additional features and capabilities into its core-logic sets, while AMD – the main provider of chipsets for AMD Opteron-based servers and workstations – has not updated its AMD8000-series chips for more than a year. As the demand towards advanced caps like Serial ATA and PCI Express rises later in 2005, NVIDIA nForce-series chipsets are likely to become preferable choice for makers of platforms for workstations and servers.
NVIDIA nForce Professional – New Series of MCPs
NVIDIA's nForce Professional is a new series of media and communication processors from NVIDIA Corp. that currently consists of nForce Professional 2200 and 2050 chips.
NVIDIA nForce Professional 2200 media and communication processor features 1000MHz 16x16 HyperTransport link; flexible PCI Express controller with 20 lanes; 4 Serial ATA-300 ports, 4 Parallel ATA-133 ports with NVIDIA MediaShield RAID technology; Gigabit Ethernet with NVIDIA TCP/IP Offload Engine, 10 USB 2.0 ports and other capabilities.
NVIDIA nForce Professional 2050 media and communication processor is a cut-down MCP with reduced functionality that is supposed to work with the 2200 chip as an I/O controller. It features HyperTransport link; flexible PCI Express controller with 20 lanes; 4 Serial ATA-300 ports with NVIDIA MediaShield RAID technology; Gigabit Ethernet with NVIDIA TCP/IP Offload Engine.
NVIDIA nForce Professional-series resembles NVIDIA nForce4-series core-logic products for desktops on the feature-set and maybe even architectural levels.
NVIDIA says its flexible PCI Express implementation features such server-specific requirements as advanced error reporting (AER), hot-plug, message signal interrupts (MSI) and other caps. A number of capabilities NVIDIA Corp. provides are not currently supported by servers and workstations based on AMD Opteron processors.
Software for the nForce Professional supports both Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.
NVIDIA SLI Multi-GPU Tech at Workstation Service
NVIDIA nForce Professional-based applications will be able to support NVIDIA's Multi-GPU technology called Scalable Link Interface (SLI) allowing system builders to plug in a couple of specially-designed NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards to support up to 8 displays on a single workstation, or get an ultimate horsepower of two NVIDIA's premium Quadro-series graphics processing units.
AMD and Server Makers Praise nForce4 Professional
"The NVIDIA nForce Professional platform offers an unmatched feature set for server customers in a wide variety of business computing environments," said Phil Hester, CEO of Newisys.
"NVIDIA has long demonstrated its success in platform design, and the new feature-rich NVIDIA nForce Professional MCPs continue that tradition. The combination of our AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture and NVIDIA nForce Professional provides the performance, scalability, and features to handle today's most demanding professional graphic accelerators as well as server I/O cards in both 32-bit and 64-bit computing environments," said Marty Seyer, corporate vice president and general manager, Microprocessor Business Unit, AMD's Computation Products Group.
"We are pleased that NVIDIA is launching the first PCI Express product for AMD Opteron platforms. IBM and NVIDIA have a long relationship in workstation graphics and we expect that the NVIDIA nForce Professional products will have the same high quality and reliability as the NVIDIA Quadro products," said Bob Lenard, Worldwide Director of IBM IntelliStation Workstations and Linux clusters.
"Sun and NVIDIA have a strong relationship, and we've partnered to deliver leading graphics solutions on the AMD Opteron processor-based Sun Java Workstations. NVIDIA products have a solid history of performance and reliability, and we expect that the new NVIDIA nForce Professional MCPs will carry on this tradition," said Rajesh Shakkarwar, senior director of workstation marketing at Sun Microsystems.
Time Required to Polish Server, Workstation Functions
Despite of relatively warm welcome, NVIDIA still needs some time to polish off its hardware and software to match servers and workstations guidelines for quality and reliability, as still some of NVIDIA's nForce4 PCI Express applications still need some time to work perfectly, X-bit labs' test results suggest. With that said, it cannot be immediately expected that NVIDIA wins multiple volume designs with large OEMs on the server and workstation markets.
Shipping Now
"Both IWILL and TYAN are shipping nForce Professional-based mainboards now. Other partners and system builders, along with OEMs, will be making their own announcements over the next few weeks and months," an NVIDIA Corp.'s spokesman said.

It was a frustrating first eight innings. Countless opportunities gone by the wayside and a Joe Blanton start turned ugly with one pitch. In the end, none of that mattered because a ninth inning rally gave the Phillies their seventh straight victory. Four runs in the final inning, capped by a Jayson Werth two-run, dead-center home run that gave the Phillies an epic comeback win over the Nationals.
Drew Storen quickly learned what this team is all about as he came on for the save up three runs. A 6-3 deficit became 6-5 in a hurry as Ryan Howard brought home two runs with a single to left-center. Placido Polanco, who led off with a single, and Chase Utley who doubled, both scored. Jayson Werth then unloaded.
To one of the deepest parts of the ballpark, Werth gave it just enough of a ride to clear the high fence near the 409 mark just to the left of dead center field. Werth admitted after the win that he hadn't been performing in the clutch, but this ending certainly helps.
Blanton was cruising through the first few innings before it all went wrong. He gave up a solo home run to Willie Harris in the third, which was his only blemish until the sixth. In that inning, he gave up a leadoff single to Ian Desmond and then a walk to Adam Dunn, before Mike Morse crushed a ball to the opposite field and into the seats. The home run gave Washington a 4-3 lead, which would swell to 6-3 by the eighth. So what, said the Phillies.
As they've proven time and again over the last few seasons, you can never leave Citizens Bank Park early, no matter what. Werth's epic shot secured their three game advantage in the NL East.

Congrats to Jayson Werth and the Fightin' Titans.
3 home runs in the last 3 games, I think he found his stroke. Going into the Braves and the Mets at his home ballpark this whole week.
Sign in Philadelphia Jayson Werth. Think about next year! Sign a nice 2 year deal and don't get Boras. We'll be at every game to seal your paycheck. I need to buy your jersey, it could be retired as a Phillie!
The Fightin' Titans are about to rewrite the history books. It starts tomorrow.
amazing! what a buzz. I walked into costco in the 7th inning pissed and would not look at my iphone / mlb the whole time. I get into the car and werth is up to bat and its 5-6. so excited my son told me I took my hands off the wheel…hahaha
Pingback: Werth Walks Off For 7-6 Phillies Win « Acrylic Sports
Great win
Bring on the Braves
WERTH SUCKS WITH RISP!!! Bla bla bla
WERTH IS ANTI-CLUTCH!! Bla bla bla
Glad he got the hit. Hope he gets hot.
But it doesnt change the first 147 games and the lowest average in the majors with RISP.
Regardless of what happens the rest of the year hes gone. If hes the worst or the best. And either way its not a bad thing.
You cant play in 3 straight world series and keep all your players. Why would you want to?
Because it worked the other times?
Anyway, I was watching the Yankees game against the O's today…and the Yankees' announcers actually thought the Rays won the WS in '08… That pisses me off so much. I wanted to round-house kick them in the teeth.
Bring on the Braves.
If anyone going to Tuesday's game is getting there early, I'll be at McFaddens, probably around 5:30.
Werth's last hurrah before grabbing the money and run to….(name the team willing to shell out the big dough). 😉
It will be sad to see Jayson go…next year a near 40yo Ibanez, Victorino, and a yet unproven Dom Brown who to me im not exactly sold on yet…
@ Kate
Have fun and root root root for the home team.
I loved the fake Phillies fans leaving after the 7th and 8th inning, saying things like, "Whatever, go Eagles!" and the like. These people must be kicking themselves because they missed a hell of a 9th inning rally which was capped off by that beautiful 3-Run stroke by Wertz. I just had a feeling going into the bottom of the 9th that we would make something happen, and then we did. The way Werth fouled a few pitches straight back tells you he was right on it and I almost knew he was going yard. I live about 2 hours north/northwest of Philly so I don't get to make it to many games, but the two I've attended this year have been memorable ones. The other I attended this year was the game against the Mets in early May that was on ESPN where we put a 9 spot up in one inning against Johan.
Lets take two out of three from the Bravos and really apply the pressure. We control our own destiny here so lets hope we keep up this intensity. I still get worried by the shortcomings of the bullpen at times. Madson has been lockdown, and hell, even Lidge has been solid lately. The rest can be pretty shaky at times.
I said about a month ago when everyone was b!tching about Jayson with RISP that he would do something big before it was all over. It;s just one game, but we haven't seen the last.
Also, to Bruce…. "grabbing all the money"…
Why is it that everyone is so against Jayson Werth getting whatever he can in the way of a contract? If a team wants to pay him a lot more that the Phillies are willing to pay….and he takes it….good for him.
He's worked hard all his life as a player and deserves to be able to have the opportunity to set himself and his family up for life.
You all would so the same thing.
Jealousy maybe??…….??
Jayson's too good of a player to not be able to hit with RISP… some things you can't explain and his struggles this year with ducks on the pond fall in that bucket but I will guarantee this; he's going to hit with RISP again. He's too good not to…
He's hitting .292 with 76 RBI and 99 R and he leads the league in 2B. He should have more RBI and that's the part that is maddening but we're in first place and if he has figured it out, the steamroller will be in high gear.
I was listening to the postgame and someone mentioned that Jayson said he was watching tape from last year to compare his swing to this year and noticed something… whether he actually saw anything or if it's just in his head, he's definitely swinging the bat a little better.
I don't have a problem with Jayson going after the coin… that's his prerogative and he has worked hard to get to this point and has overcome a lot of adversity. If he leaves because someone throws him a mega deal, then so be it. If Rube decides that Jayson is expendable (something I don't agree with), that's fine. However, if Rube makes a decent offer, I think that it would be in Jayson's best interest to at least consider it. He'll reach his potential in Philadelphia… I don't think he'll do that anywhere else. We gave him the opportunity to play and I think he would be happiest spending his career here. He has already surpassed all expectations here; he goes somewhere else under a huge contract, that's a whole different set of expectations to live up to.
Madson was a Boras client and he stayed here… I don't think Boras is quite the shark that he's made out to be. I think he's looking out for his clients' best interests and if Jayson wants to stay, I think he'll try to make that happen at a price that makes sense.
Jayson wants to stay, why not, Phillies are a great team and he gets post-season play.
Jayson wants the money, why not, this is his big chance to cash in.
Phillies want Jayson to stay, they need a big RH bat.
Phillies want to make some money, why not?
Problem – Jayson will be the second best OF on the market this offseason (#1 is Crawford). There are too many teams looking to make a move and they will outbid the Phillies.
However, as Amaro has shown us, there are always alternatives.
This is not a zero sum game. Werth will go to the highest bidder but the Phillies will not have to settle for Brown/Francisco.
I don't know, Bob… if the Phillies don't keep Werth, I don't think they'll do anything in the OF. If Brown is ready, they have to play him… we can all agree on that, right… but I think it's important to give him the opportunity to start without worrying about who's behind him.
I hope Jayson stays but the chances of that happening are slim, I know… they already have a ton of money committed to next year's payroll. Short of moving a guy like Ibanez or Lidge or Rollins or Blanton, there's not much they're going to be able to do to compete. Unless all parties are willing to be creative (listen Jayson, you'll have to settle for a little less this year but we'll give you a long-term deal that is substantial on the back end), they're probably going to be outbid.
Chuck –
I am not sure Brown is ready and I don't think any of us want an all LH batting order. As to worrying about who is behind him, actually I do want him worrying. The job is not his, he has to earn it. He has potential but he might not make it.
Ibanez will be gone in 2012 and if Amaro sees something that he wants and at the right price I think he will move. However, it is not likely to be via Free Agency as the picking are slim this year. Some type of trade might be the way to go. Ibanez is not going to move but Blanton, Rollins, or others can all go for the right deal.
If you go with Brown you end up with a lineup like this:
If so, LH pitchers will become all the rage in the NL East. You can flip that lineup around as many times as you want, you still have 4 LH, 2 RH and 2 SW. At best you need to platoon Brown. If he does well, then platoon Ibanez but you will need RH bat vs LH pitching.
dom brown hasn't proved anything because he hasn't played at all barely any playing time. He will be fine as a starter, and platoon francisco with him or something
Werth is picking it up as did Howard yesterday. Both have come up short with RISP but Howard's hit was huge too. People aren't jealous of Werth making more money next year- it is that we feel that would you rather play for the Phils- a place where you are comfortable, had success or willing to uproot your family and go somewhere where the unknown is greater? He has a chance to set up his family for life no matter who signs him.
Boras simply has outworked the other agents and uses the system the best way. The object of the agent is to get his client the best offer possible. The player's union wants their players to sign the richest deal no matter who offers it to them. So, Boras puts together these obsecure stats and binders of information to prove to the owners to make the highest offers. Ultimately, it is up to the player but the union also plays a role in this as well.
Take CC and Jason Bay. CC waited a few weeks on the Yankees offer to see what a west coast team could offer. But CC knew full well no one could match the Yankees offer. In fact, it was reported that he turned down 100M from the Brewers. But why didn't he sign relatively soon if the Yanks were the ones? And same with Bay and the Mets. If he wanted the Mets, he wouldn't have waited so long because that was the richest offer he had.
If we could somehow move Ibanez or Victorino, then I think we can keep Werth.
Get over with Werth! Enjoy his last days here with the team and then bid adieu. Brown and Francisco for L/R matchups next season is more than adequate. And once Brown adjusts and gains confidence, he will be a 5 tool star playing regularly.
My lineup for 2011:
*may move up in the lineup later in season once he hits for average.
@ Glutenous
There is nothing wrong with leaving after the 7th or 8th inning, no matter what the score. Most people who do so simply want to avoid traffic. It is ultimately the smart thing to do if that is the case. Those "fake phillies fans," as you call them, have better things to worry about other than a baseball game.
However Glutenous, I also attended that game against the Mets with the 9-spot and Vic's grand slam, after walking Moyer with the bases loaded. It was by far the most exciting game I've ever been to.
@Ryan: "..no matter what the score." Huh? You mean you would leave a tied ballgame after the 7th or 8th inning just so you can beat the traffic?? That would not fit my definition of a dedicated fan who love a game of baseball and their team. Dedication is such that they would travel many miles to see the game and stay till the outcome of such a game is decided.

Friday 9/28 will be my last day at Sencha and marks 20 days until the birth of my daughter. I am departing Sencha to focus on family and return to working as a consultant and entrepreneur.
I have been extremely lucky over the past 7 years to work for some amazing companies (Adobe, Barnes & Noble, Sencha) and I have learned a ton about business and large scale software development in the process. Sencha has been a great experience working inside a world class, fast growth startup at the heart of HTML5. In my short time at Sencha, we focused on enterprise, delivered major releases of every product, added 30+ people to the company, and welcomed a ton of application developers to the platform. It has been a distinct honor to work at Sencha, build a great developer relations team, and work with so many amazing developers in the community.
As an evangelist I only advocate for technologies that I believe in and my path has included Flash, Flex, Android, and Sencha. In the case of Sencha, I am giving up employment to build services using Sencha as a platform. I am not sure there is a better validation of Sencha and given the large scale use of Sencha frameworks at Adobe, SalesForce, Cisco, Concur, Morgan Stanley, and many others; I know this is a very sound decision.
Having started-up straight out of college, I have yet to see an entrepreneurial climate as good as today. With a command line, I can launch hundreds of servers, leverage a ton of revolutionary code, and work with amazing people remotely. The costs of starting-up have literally fallen an order of magnitude in the past 10 years and executing projects has never been easier. During my time at NOOK, I launched 63 apps which turned into a solid recurring revenue business. This success enabled me to leap quickly to Sencha and with upcoming family changes has evolved into my return to being a consultant and entrepreneur.
Long story short, I am an entrepreneur at heart, I love solving problems, and I love building things. This change allows me to focus on family while executing on a project that has been burning a hole in my pocket. For now… family, family, family!

My DD turned 2 and still is an active nurser. However, in public, I am not sure how to deal with her pawing me and demanding to nurse. She's yanking at my shirt, screaming, and does not want me to refuse her.
I have never been embarrased to nurse her, until she starts these tantrums.
If I try to hold her, she tries to force herself into a nursing position. I try to reason with her and say, "later"...etc. but she won't listen to me. I have even tried to distract her by giving her a sippy cup with milk/juice, whatever.
She doesn't care where/when, or who's around. She wants it and NOW!
At her gymnastics, she decided she wanted to nurse, and freaked on me in front of everyone.
Everyone is telling me I should quit, she is too big, including my mother, and my teen boys. My father just teases me that she will have to come home from school to nurse.
How do you deal with this??

Fox News epitomizes what's wrong today's the Conservative movement. If things don't go their way (and they're used to having things their way) they manifest their rotten philosophy of "our way or the highway".
Whether they are right or wrong, it seems to me that most conservatives in the media and in politics act like spoiled children when the tide of approval shifts from them to their opposition. It's what most would call plain old sour grapes.
Remedy: Get over it! You screwed up, now it's time for the grown-ups to clean up your mess and take over.
Since election day, Rachel Maddow has been beating Sean Hannity in the key demo ratings. Fox News has responded with a juvenile attack on Maddow.
There is something happening in cable news that can no longer be ignored. MSNBC is seriously challenging Fox News. Specifically, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are regularly beating their Fox News competition in the key 25-54 demo. Last week, Maddow beat Hannity, 378,000 viewers to 352,000 in the demo.
This week Maddow handily defeated Hannity on Monday (394,000-336,000) andTuesday (388,000-285,000). Even with guest hosts filling in for Maddow on Wednesday and Thursday, Hannity was only able to eek out small wins of 55,000and 38,000 in the demo. From election day through the end of November, Maddow beat Hannity by 13%.
Hannity's margin over Maddow in total viewers is inflated by the fact that Fox News is available in more homes than MSNBC. Bill O'Reilly's show is the only thing keeping Fox News ahead in the primetime demo. If anything ever happens to O'Reilly, Fox News will be in deep trouble.
The biggest sign yet that Fox News knows they have a problem was how they responded to Rachel Maddow being nominated for a Grammy for her spoken word version of Drift.
Here was the headline on Fox Nation:
This behavior is nothing new for Fox News. Every since Jon Stewart started crushing them in the ratings, they have regularly and sometimes personally attackedThe Daily Show host. Among other things, Fox News has edited his appearances on their network and called Stewart a racist.
Stewart and Maddow both are the anti-Fox News. Both draw big ratings, and both are now enemies of Fox. As more younger Americans continue to rebel against information bubbles like Fox, they are seeking out alternatives that place an an emphasis on information over propaganda, and perhaps no show on Fox is as propagandistic as Hannity. On occasion during his broadcasts, Sean Hannity literally reads or quotes verbatim from Republican talking points. Maddow's show is the exact opposite. She is fair to her guests, and is does not shy away from being tough on the Obama administration and Democrats.
If MSNBC was available in more homes, Maddow would have probably blown by Hannity in total viewers a while ago.
The Fox News style network is being rejected by more and more viewers. There may be little that Fox can actually do to stop this slide. So like the the impotent old man of cable news that they are becoming, Fox News has resorted to using juvenile attacks against younger and stronger competition that is gaining on them every day.

Gov. Scott Walker is urging his supporters to sign a petition in support of his law restricting collective bargaining that a judge last week largely struck down as unconstitutional.
Walker sent an email Thursday to supporters urging them to sign the online petition that derides Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas as an "activist" who "chose to put politics ahead of your votes."

If you're having problems losing weight or keeping it off, you may have one or more "fat habits"—those daily behaviors, choices, and actions that are keeping you out of your skinny jeans. Here are 10 of the worst habits and how you can kick them now! By: Julie Upton, MS, RD and Katherine Brooking, MS, RD, authors of The Real Skinny: Appetite for Health's 101 Fat Habits & Slim Solutions
Fat Habit 1: Overdoing "diet" foods and beverages
Slim Solution: There's no "special" diet food or beverage that can equal long-term successful weight loss. In fact, all you need are natural, good-for-you, wholesome foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins to help you peel off pounds.
Many dieters get stuck on using pricey diet foods, sugar substitutes, diet sodas, and other calorie-reduced items that aren't a solution for successful long-term weight loss. Studies show that diet foods may even make it harder to reduce cravings for sweets, so use "diet" foods sparingly.

The Brooks Green Silence excels in at least two ways: it's a fast and flexible racing flat and it's better for the environment than almost any other running shoe.
First off, let's give Brooks major credit for leading the way and putting together a running shoe with a dramatically improved eco "footprint." This achievement is even more impressive in light of the fact that the shoe they produced - the Green Silence - has some serious performance chops to boot.
Testers had many positive remarks about the midsole feel of this shoe. The soft platform makes for a comfortable ride, but still gives the shoe a very lightweight feel. Several testers wished they felt a little more "grounded" in the platform, rather than feeling that their foot was resting on top of it. Part of that sensation is because of the extremely low arch, along with the flat and somewhat wider forefoot. One tester also noted that the heel did not cradle his foot and instead felt built up or convex. But the fairly flat-feeling platform can be an asset for the runner who wants a minimalist-type shoe that interferes less with the foot's natural movement.
The upper has a close feel but is still a bit more generous than other racing flats on the market, particularly in the forefoot. Testers really liked the tongue design, which folds below the medial fabric of the shoe. They also appreciated the asymmetrical lacing, which gives the midfoot a very customized fit.
There's a lot to like in the Green Silence for all you speedy, environmentally sensitive runners out there. In the near future, we hope to see more choices from other brands for runners who want more earth-conscious running shoes.
It seems to me that the good mojo these shoes bring to the table have to translate into better running. A great choice for neutral runners who put a lot of stock in the spiritual side of the sport.
Cushioning felt good with a midfoot strike, but a little too firm for me when heel striking.
The lacing is very flexible, allowing you to customize the midfoot volume.

NBC's Ian Williams reports from Thailand-Myanmar border where the Karen rebels, a Christian minority, are fighting one of the world's longest running civil wars.
KAREN STATE, Myanmar – At first light, a haze from dry-season fires hung low over the Moie River, which marks the border between Thailand and Myanmar (also known as Burma).
It was a good time of day for a discrete crossing from one of the many small clearings in the thick tropical undergrowth lining the Moei's muddy waters.
It took just moments for our long-tailed boat to reach the Myanmar side, where after making our way over a rickety make-shift bridge and climbing the steep river bank we were welcomed to the seventh brigade headquarters of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), the military wing of the Karen National Union (KNU), which has been fighting the Myanmar government for decades.
We were greeted by Saw Hla Hgwe of the KNU, a short bespectacled man, wearing a red Ferrari baseball cap.
"We have two big problems in this country, ethnic rights and democratic rights," he said, "and until both these problems are solved there can be no peace and stability."
The mostly Christian Karen people have been fighting against Myanmar's central government for 62 years, which makes this one of world's longest-running – and most brutal – civil wars.
It's also one of the world's great forgotten conflicts. Not even Rambo could change that; his last movie was set here (though filmed in Thailand), with Sylvester Stallone taking on what appeared to be the entire Myanmar Army in an effort to rescue a bunch of Christian missionaries kidnapped by soldiers as they were taking aid to Karen villagers.
Ian Williams / NBC News
A rag-tag group of KNLA soldiers listen to a pep-talk from their commander Saw Jorny. Some wore flip-flops and carried a variety of weapons from ageing AK-47s to newer-looking M-16s.
New era?
In January, though, the KNU signed a ceasefire deal with the Myanmar government, and KNU leaders are in Yangon this weekend for further talks. They are also planning to meet pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose election to parliament last weekend is just the latest and most significant development in a fast-moving reform process.
But it's a reform process that has been greeted with extreme caution by the KNU.
"Right now I think that they are not trustworthy," Saw Hla Hgwe told me. "We have heard this kind of talk many times, but it never comes to reality, so this time we are being careful and cautious."
It doesn't help that the KNU itself is faction-ridden and has been much weakened by successive army onslaughts. It is also just one of a patchwork of ethnic groups that make up 30 percent of Myanmar's population. Most have their own militias, and the U.S. has said that ethnic peace is a precondition for fully lifting sanctions on Myanmar.
"For genuine peace, the government must prove that it is willing to share power," said the KNU's Saw Hla Hgwe.
Soldiers in flip flops
The seventh brigade camp consisted of a series of small wooden buildings, set around a dusty parade ground, where their commander, Saw Jorny, gathered about 50 members of his rag-tag army for a pep-talk, reminding them not to break the ceasefire – but to remain on their guard.
His soldiers carried a variety of weapons – from ageing AK-47s to newer-looking M-16s. Many wore only flip flops on their feet.
One young soldier had a prosthetic foot, and when I asked him what had happened he just shrugged. "Landmine," he said. "Over there, behind the mountain."
Ian Williams / NBC News
Some young Karen refugees in Thailand.
In fact I was surprised not to see more missing limbs, since this is one of the most mine-infested areas on the planet.
The Myanmar army has been accused of gross human rights abuses against the country's ethnic minorities – ranging from rape and forced labor to torture and murder.
Tens of thousands of Karen have been forced from their homes, their villages destroyed. Many have fled across the Moie River to take refuge in sprawling camps that cling to the Thai side of the river.
Aid groups say there are around 160,000 refugees in Thai camps and hundreds of thousands more have been displaced inside the country. The biggest single group is the Karen people.
'Hope to go back'
Most Karen refugees we met said they wanted to return to Myanmar – someday. Few had heard about the reform process in Yangon, and for many the horrors they'd experience were still raw.
Ian Williams / NBC News
Ma Aye, a Karen refugee, who fled to Thailand with her children two years ago.
"They came to our village, shooting at us and planting landmines," said Ma Aye, who fled to Thailand with her children two years ago. "We just couldn't stay anymore."
Nearby, Wee Thwa was building a new home from wood and dried leaves. "We were afraid. We couldn't stay after the army came to our village," he told me. He too had heard nothing of the reforms sweeping Myanmar, but he added: "I hope to go back when the situation is good."
By all rights, Karen State should be a prosperous place, sitting on a wealth of raw materials and minerals, including rich deposits of gold. But the conflict has impoverished the area, now riddled with malaria and malnutrition.
The success of Myanmar's reforms may well be determined here, and in other ethnic areas, rather than in Yangon or Naypyitaw (the newly created capital city), and by the government's ability – and willingness – to make a lasting peace and overcome decades of conflict and mistrust.
"It's all about trust," Saw Jorny, the seventh brigade commander, told me. "The Karen people want peace – but genuine peace."

Political transparency should extend much fartherAugust 14,2014The public recently won a major transparency victory when, as of July 1, 2014, after years of public
pressure, the Federal Communications Commission began requiring that all broadcast television stations post their political files online. These files contain information about who buys political ads at a station, how much they cost and the issue or candidate at the center of the ad.
Its time for the FCC to extend online disclosure to cable, radio and satellite
companies. The FCC wisely took the first step earlier this month by asking for comments from the public on the matter. (And this action came quickly after the Sunlight Foundation, Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause and Georgetown Laws Institute for Public Representation filed a petition with the FCC to require such disclosure from cable and satellite companies.
While cable stations are required to keep the same files of the same information and make it available to the public, as of now only Time Warner Cable posts its file online. Online access to this information is essential for transparency in our elections and democracy.
Political files are useful in tracking money spent on our elections, and perhaps more importantly, theyre one of the only ways to track dark-money spending. Dark money is money contributed, often in the form of political ads, by groups that dont have to report their activities to the Federal Election Commission. Dark-money groups spent more than $300 million in the 2012 election and so far have spent upwards of $40 million (that we can track) in the 2014 midterms. Access to the ad-buy contracts and information about the ads themselves has enabled journalists to inform people about who tries to influence their vote.
The FCC, however, excluded cable, radio and satellite providers from the rules requiring television broadcasters to put their files online. In 2014, experts predict that cable and satellite companies will rake in between $680 million and $800 million from political ad buys, with radio not far behind. And since political dark-money nonprofits are spending the bulk of that amount with the intent to influence voters and the public, its imperative the FCC act so the public can know whos behind the ads.
Broadcasters, cable, radio and satellite companies have been required for years to keep a political file, but not online. In 2012, the FCC tested online disclosure by implementing new rules for the top four broadcast TV stations in the top 50 markets to post their files online. Before that, all files were kept locked away in paper filing cabinets.
And while they were considered publicly available, if reporters or members of the community wanted to see a broadcasters file, they had to make the trip to the station, sometimes hundreds of miles away, during regular business hours and request them. Copies of the files often incurred a copy/printing fee, which wasnt standardized from station to station. It would take an intrepid voter to demand this information.
To be sure, the FCCs requirements for online disclosure are an improvement. Expanding the mandate for cable, radio and satellite companies will be a victory, albeit long overdue, for transparency, but were still missing vital pieces to the puzzle. The broadcasters online files, posted centrally at the FCCs website, are mostly an assortment of non-machine-readable PDF files which makes it nearly impossible to extract the data from them.
Because of this, the data is neither searchable nor sortable, and its up to those who want to use it to process it by hand. Even calculating how much one group spent on ads is extremely cumbersome. Considering just how many broadcast stations there are, this again, is nearly impossible.
Its time for the FCC to not only expand disclosure rules, but to modernize them, as well. As we approach the 2014 midterm elections and the 2016 presidential election, the deluge of political ads is only beginning. And if 2012 was any indication, political ad transparency is essential to understanding the true picture of influence on our elections.

This coded message from World War II was found in November enclosed in a canister attached to the leg bone of a dead carrier pigeon.
LONDON — A note written in code that was found on the skeleton of a carrier pigeon dating from World War II has been cracked, according to a Canadian history enthusiast.
Originally discovered in November, the message was enclosed in a red canister attached to the leg bone of the carrier pigeon. David Martin found the pigeon in the chimney of his home in Surrey, England.
The U.K. Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), one of Britain's three national intelligence agencies, said at the time that the handwritten message "cannot be decoded without access to the original cryptographic material."
A World War II code delivered by carrier pigeon is stumping today's cypher specialists. Can you break it? NBC's Brian Williams reports.
But Gordon Young, from Peterborough, Ontario, set his mind to deciphering the message using his great-uncle's World War I code book.
"It follows same sort of code they used in the first war," Young told NBC News. "I'm not saying my note is perfect, but I am saying the code is crackable and this one is pretty close."
Experts: Unbreakable code message found on WWII carrier pigeon
It took Young, the editor of a local volunteer history group, 17 minutes to understand the message, which consists of 25 five-letter code groups.
He believes that the message was sent one afternoon in 1944, not long after the Allied landing at Normandy. It was written by an officer who was dropped behind enemy lines, confirming an earlier lunch-time note he sent giving the map coordinates of the Germans' guns and tanks. It also confirmed that several units of American and British troops had finally met up.
In addition to using his uncle's code book, Young double checked with infantry maps online to confirm his hypotheses.
Retirement home bands together to bring WWII stories to life
"To really understand the exact circumstances of the note, we would need access to British and American war diaries from the time," he said.
'Impossible to verify'
Despite Young's translation, the GCHQ still maintains that without the original codebooks the note is indecipherable.
"We stand by our press notice of 22 November 2012 in that without access to the relevant codebooks and details of any additional encryption used, the message will remain impossible to decrypt," a spokesman for the GCHQ told NBC News in an emailed statement. "Similarly it is also impossible to verify any proposed solutions, but those put forward without reference to the original cryptographic material are unlikely to be correct."

The pigeon is thought to have been part of a flock of 250,000 that were used to carry messages between the European front and Britain during World War II.
"I am hoping that this will stir up some interest in the bravery of the men who were dropped on the battlefield," said Young.
"Imagine a guy dropping down behind enemy lines with crates of pigeons and a couple of bags of feed. How they didn't get caught is amazing. It wasn't like today where there are unmanned drones. These guys were risking their lives," he added.

A little background before my question. I am a first time Mom to a 14 week old little guy. I've been breast feeding from the beginning. I started going back to work in December and have been slowly transitioning over the past 2 months from 2- 4 hour days/week to full time (5- 8 hour days/week). Right now I'm at 4 ~ 7-8 hour days but will back to regular schedule in the next couple weeks.
I've been blessed as little Ethan started mostly sleeping 7-9 hours at night at around 2.5 months. When he wakes up (or I wake up because I'm so engorged) he doesn't drain my breasts at the first feeding (I'm guessing he takes about 1/3 to 1/2 of what I have). I've been pumping the rest in the morning and usually get 6-9 oz. On days that I work I nurse him (while he stays asleep but it seems to work) pump then out the door. When I work a full day I usually pump twice and come home with 8-12oz (more earlier in the week usually). Dad's taking care of him while I'm at work. He tends to take 6-7 oz while I'm gone. My gut tells me that's fine as he tends to catch up by nursing more when I'm home before he goes to bed and he is chunky, active, diapers look good, etc.
Now to the questions. I have quite a bit of frozen milk. In addition to the morning pumpings, which go straight to the freezer on the weekend, at the end of the week I've usually froze about 20 oz more. My husband jokes about finding the veggies in the breast milk section of the freezer, but seriously, I'll be out of space soon. I've heard that nursing peaks between 4 and 6 months, but I'm wondering if I should back up on my storage capabilities and try to pump less but I don't want my supply to drop and not have enough in the future. Should I consider donating some of it? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I have taken the liberty of pluralizing 'statute':
Some statutes have language that rambles,
And some start with lengthy preambles;
No wonder some students
Compare jurisprudence
To wading through thickets of brambles.
