I kinda get the feeling seti is falling behind in taking advantage of the latest and greatest unlike other @home projects, considering the importance of the project that should not happen.

SETI is Open source, and people can adjust it as they wish. The people at SETI are overworked, underpaid, and work part time to keep the project going. There is just a handful of them. They rely on donations to keep SETI alive, as there is no government or school funding.

I'm just don't that doesn't make all to much logical sense, obvious pre-steam processor's they weren't much use but steam processor's ought to if programmed correctly be quite capable of performing well anything and i can't see how running 256 steam processor's to go with my quad-core processor would if properly programmed slow down the process as they can run independently without taxing the CPU is my understanding, not to mention having their own memory.
And being well aware of the funding issues it is however rather irrelevant I doubt every progressive @home project are full of government funded fat cat's with a full-time dev teams ... ?
And open-source should not be used as a derogatory term when it comes to programming projects like jeez it means more folks can contribute to the work not less, and I can't see there not being a good bunch of programmers contributing to seti.
And I have looked and done my research and whilst thanks for bothering to reply I'd much rather have a reply from someone with a technical standpoint within the project... hell frankly I don't really need or require reply I just hope the message trickles through to the right folks as from my a long-term seti contributer who's electricity bill is never low thanks to seti processing in comparison with other @home project it beginning to seen as seti is falling behind, there is a ps3 port of seti, in a pre-release phase but it runs on a version of linux which to my understanding only runs as one instance and is not even slightly optimized meaning instead of full use of the ps3's power ... it treats it like an old pentium iv, and as the cell processor in ps3's are 8 way processor's designed for high-end servers with one failed core (so 7) but (btw despite what im saying don't get me wrong im not a sony fanboy i'm a hardcore gamer so i'm kinda have to buy all the consoles mainly a pc gamer and my preferred console is x360)
Like that project need's some help me thinks, and yes i'd like to see some serious attempts at using everything that could potentially maximize the use of the hardware I dedicate to the project, and others like me can't possibly disagree, whilst somewhat competent in a couple of programming languages i don't have the time to donate to seti, and frankly with power of the hardware I do run seti on most of the time I've done the best I can.

There are a couple of problems with using graphics cards. The first is that there is no standardization for a programming language (yet). The second and more serious for S@H is that getting data out of the card back into the computer is slow, and apparently, S@H needs to retrieve a fair amount of data from the card. Again, this later could change in the future.

Spring is in the air. Literally. Pollen has blanketed the city of Atlanta like a sprinkling of snow, which has made me realize the following things. First, I am thankful that apparently pollen does not affect me. Second, I am enjoying telling everyone I know that they are not allergic to pollen, but actually, they are speaking of plant sperm. What….? That's what it is!!
Along with spring and springing forward comes the mad rush to summer, and with it, goes all my time. So if you are feeling as busy and yet scatter-brained (maybe pollen DOES affect me) as I am, you will appreciate an EASY recipe. Ok, so it's not really a RECIPE, but it is easy, homemade, and healthy (that's what she said..can I do that here?), then salad dressing made from ingredients you keep in the kitchen is just what you need.
I learned this when I spent the summer of 2002 in Avignon, France. The family I stayed with would make a quick salad to go with dinner (read, to END dinner with, not start) topped with this easy salad dressing. I have modified it a bit, so here it is. You don't even need fancy equipment for this. I usually just use a fork to mix the ingredients together. Enjoy!
Easy Homemade Lemon Vinaigrette:
2-3 Tbsp lemon juice (about half a lemon)*
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
* Instead of lemon juice, you can use vinegar.
Squeeze the lemon juice into a small bowl and remove any seeds.(If you roll the lemon on the counter a few times before cutting it open, the juices loosen up and it becomes much easier to "juice".) Add the mustard, and give it a little whisk until it has combined with the juice. While whisking, add the olive oil and continue to whisk/beat until the olive oil has been incorporated and you form an emulsion. Et voila! Homemade salad dressing. You don't have to feel so bad about forgetting to pick up the dressing from the grocery store after all.

Bamba worry for Foxes
By PA
Updated Friday, 11th February 2011
Views: 147
Sol Bamba is a concern for Leicester ahead of the trip to East Midlands rivals Derby.
The Ivory Coast centre-back was forced off with an ankle injury late on in the home victory over Barnsley last weekend.
Boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is considering recalling club captain Matt Oakley to face his former club. The midfielder has started only four games since the Swede took charge in October.
However, Eriksson has turned to the 33-year-old to make an impact as a substitute in recent games and the manager has hinted he may call upon Oakley at Pride Park.
"He took the bad medicine to sit on the bench but he is working harder and harder to show me I am wrong," said Eriksson. "He is clever. He came on in the last two games and was fantastic. He calms everything down. On Saturday we kept the ball better when he came on. He is technically good and he also has plenty of experience."
If Oakley gets the nod, Japan international Yuki Abe will make way.

Memory Toppers Tops with Consumers
April 6, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
The memory foam mattress topper category is popular with consumers and poised for strong growth, according to results released last month from a new Sleep Studio-commissioned study.
The independent, national market research survey showed that 76% of adults are aware of the product category, with some 50 million having purchased such goods — and a projected 60 million being "extremely" or "very" likely to purchase in the future.
"There is tremendous opportunity for increasing category penetration, particularly at a time when consumers may be looking for cost efficient ways to upgrade their beds," said Donna Foti, Sleep Studio marketing director.
Consumer motivation includes the desire to "add comfort" to their mattress, to get "a more restful night's sleep," and gain "better back support," noted Sleep Studio.
For consumers making a final purchase decision, the benefit of back support was the top desire — and product features such as thickness, firmness and density were "of high importance," the company said.
In March, the manufacturer introduced its Enhanced Foam mattress topper line with trademarked Reactiv Support. "It's a highly supportive product that provides a buoyant, floating-on-air feeling," said Michael Rothbard, president of Sleep Studio.

Shiko Training

Re: Solo Training
Mike Sigman
I dunno.... I suspect that there are a lot of people out there who are sure they know what shiko does and how to do it. Yet probably there are missing parts from everyone's understanding, so it's probably more helpful to everyone who "knows" to discuss the exercise more openly, in case there's parts that they're missing.
The "I know a secret" stuff is what continually (through the centuries) causes this stuff to get lost and to degrade because people don't know as much as they think they do. It's an endless cycle.
Mike Sigman
I dunno I suspect there are people out there who know what they were taught and are unconcerned what people on the internet looking for information think of their training.
I can't speak to this idea you always bring up of "I've got a secret" Other than people just won't talk to you about what they do.
I have noticed that I have never heard of
showing Shiko or using it as a training tool, or much anything else substantial to anyone. Ark and I are demonstrating and teaching it. Rob and I have talked since I brought it up on E-budo years ago. Even more so about the differences in approach; back then Ark was talking about maintaining left and right axis and I openly discussed "Crossline" body work. I have noticed his more recent DVDs now include a translation of ..."Crossline" body work, or X line work. Which is a good thing since it sets up and works with the same paths in the body that lead to spiraling energy.
But where Ark and I both have people that have trained with us for a while- me being the longest with over sixteen years-I have never heard of any student base or history of people you have raised-up who have any substantial skills. "Do you have any students or groups that have trained with you for any lengthy period of time who can demonstrate clear and definable skills that they learned directly from you?
Nothing recent,
I mean week by week people from lets say- ten years or so ago,Mike?"

yeast infection cream on vagina?
ok so i just got some n on the directions is says put on outside of where it itches n stuff,,,,what the heck how does this help? can i put a lil on the inside too? or will something bad happen?
Here is the selected answer for your question:
An eight-year vaginosis sufferer myself, I will show you how I cured my bacterial vaginosis in three days the natural way and helped thousands of women do the same.
I'm about to reveal to you, scientifically-proven secrets that cured my bacteria vaginosis in three days, without any harsh prescription drugs or the never-ending cycle expense of over-the-counter products that don't work, and how it changed my life forever.
Click Here to learn the easy three-step program that targets the root cause of Bacteria Vaginosis in 3 Days.___________________________________________________________
It depends on the symptoms of the yeast infection if thats what it is…..vaginal infections come in all sorts……usual indicators of a yeast infection are a cottage cheese like discharge or one with a really distinct odor….. and or vaginal itching…apply the cream where it itches in your vagina lips…….you can put it on the area inside your vagina,but not inserted into your vagina..if that makes sense….If your having vaginal itching, there could be alot of things irritating your vagina…..sex, dififferent laundry detergent,perfume,urine….try drinking more water…if your having sex unprotected or not…it could be from skin to skin contact…..or from the chemicals on condoms…..many things…..basically if your having itching you put the cream on the itchy part…just not into the vaginal cavity………if your having a suspicous discharge…different consistency and smell….you can use yeast infection creams that you can insert into the vagina using an applicator…like using a tampon….they dont hurt……and they can be very effected…it can take up to 3 days to a week to max week and a half..depending on what you want to spend….If it doesnt go away….you should go see a doctor…..hopefully this helps….if you want…you can also use an anti-bacterial body wash…..make sure when you wipe….to try to pat really dry….I know it sounds gross, but theres a reason why its making you itch…
I also wanted to let you know…that some discharge is normal alot of girls get it……and try to not do to much to your vagina because it could make the itching worse…..sometimes letting the vagina clean itself is a good thing…..its almost like when people are o.c.d about cleaning a cut etc. and they get an infection…the body will heal naturally….nothing horrible will happen if you get the cream anywhere else on your body…..MAKE SURE YOU WASH YOUR HANDS EVERYTIME YOU TOUCH YOURSELF!

Pre-owned equipment, practices for sale, open positions, helpful practice management resources and more!
Click here to view the latest classifieds from Optometric Management.
Article Date: 5/1/2011
Simplifying equipment doesn't have to mean compromising operating capacity. In fact, I've found just the opposite when using the PSL Classic Portable Slit Lamp, from Keeler Instruments, Inc.
With this device, the user can meet physically restricted patients in comfortable positions. The day-to-day application of this flexibility manifests in appointments in nursing homes, school screenings or with physically limited patients in your office, such as the obese or those who have restrictive spinal conditions.
Before traveling to provide eye care on a mission trip in Haiti, I read Keeler's one-page instruction manual on the device. It proved more than sufficient in enabling me to employ all the PSL's features effectively.
Additionally, my team of seven students quickly grasped the device's capabilities and employed them extensively throughout the trip.
For instance, at first contact the PSL handle's trigger automatically turns on its light when you pick up the device. As a result, you're immediately off and running with minimal delay and set up.
The PSL used here by one of the seven students who accompanied Dr. Colip to Haiti includes illuminated LED targets ensuring the patient fixates on a target and remains engaged during the exam.
The device includes illuminated LED targets, ensuring your patient fixates on a target and remains engaged during the exam. Since a portable slit lamp allows the patient movement freedom, patients have more of a tendency to allow their eyes to wander during this type of examination. As a result, this feature is quite helpful.
To initiate the two red LED lights, you simply double-click the PSL handle's trigger.
The instrument enables the user to easily control the halogen illumination system via a thumb wheel, which adjusts from zero to full brightness. This customization feature improves the quality of the exam by allowing the doctor to adjust illumination on the fly.
Additionally, I've flipped the device upside down to examine patients lying and found that the illumination isn't compromised. In this regard, the PSL's maneuverability works alongside its technical features.
Something else to keep in mind: The device's halogen illumination system provides more than 2,000 hours of bulb life, according to Keeler instruments Inc., and it comes with a spare bulb.
The instrument also offers controls for aperture and magnification. The aperture setting features a variety of slit-widths (0.15mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.6mm, and 12mm circle.). There is also an additional 1mm square aperture setting, which is especially useful for evaluating the anterior chamber for inflammation. Additionally, the PSL's 10x and 16x magnification assist in diagnosing patients as having inflammation, infection, trauma or ocular disease. Both my students and I noticed the quality and clarity of the device's magnification, which results from its multilayered glass.
After three days of continuous clinic use and sharing the device among almost 10 technicians in Haiti, I never had to recharge its battery. (The device comes with a charger stand that would be optimal for a traditional practice setting.)
The combination of portability and technology makes the PSL a must-have device for your practice. This is why you won't find me without it when abroad or stateside. OM

John Love has a new novel. Who's John Love ? He's a British dude who wrote one of the best novels of 2012 that no one has heard of–Faith.
Built around the idea of aegrescit medendo, which is a Latin medical phrase meaning, 'The cure is worse than the disease', Faith is the story of a near mythical starship bent on the destruction of an entire people. Humanity's last line of defense, is the Charles Manson and her crew, condemned fringe intelligentsia who exist so far outside of typical human behavior that they've committed heinous crimes against humanity. Too capable to discard, they were given one option–serve or die. It's an achievement of a novel that satirizes Star Trek, while executing the kinds of themes plumbed by Herman Melville in Moby Dick.
Now, there's another novel on the horizon from Love and I'm over the moon about it for two reasons. The first, of course, is I really like his writing and I have high hopes for the novel.
The future is a dangerous place. Keeping the world stable and peaceful when competing corporate interests and nation-states battle for power, wealth, and prestige has only gotten harder over the years. But that's the United Nations' job. So the UN has changed along with the rest of the world. When the UN's "soft" diplomacy fails, it has harder options. Quiet, scalpel-like options: the Dead—biologically enhanced secret operatives created by the UN to solve the problems no one else can.
Anwar Abbas is one of the Dead, and one of the deadliest human beings on the planet. When the controller-general of the UN asks him to perform a simple bodyguard mission, he's insulted. And resentful. But he takes the job. Because that's who he is and what he does.
Anwar is asked to protect the host of an important UN conference, the beautiful Olivia del Sarto. Olivia is the head of one of the fastest-growing churches in the world, and in her rise to power she has made incredibly wealthy enemies.
As they ignite a torrid affair, Anwar must uncover the conspiracy that threatens to destroy her, and the UN—as well as all of the Dead.
Interesting, right? The second reason I'm excited is even more significant. Night Shade Books is acquiring new books.
Up until now the new owners of Night Shade have only published titles that were already on the docket under previous ownership or continued an ongoing series. Love's newest is neither of those things. While he may have been under contract for another book (I have no idea), the imprint's willingness to go in an entirely new direction with him speaks volumes for their long term interest in providing a landing place for avant-garde manuscripts. And that's really exciting.

We strive to learn and play using correct volleyball techniques and play by all the beach volleyball rules: http://www.fivb.org/EN/Refereeing-Rules/documents/FIVB-BeachVolleyball_Rules2013-EN_20130531.pdf
We play rally scoring to 21 points, switch sides every 7 points, attempt 3 hits per side (when appropriate), calling the ball, etc. If you are only seeking "jungle ball" style play, then perhaps another group would be a better fit. Jungle ball is most often defined as: using illegal touches, always 1 hit per side, net violations allowed, etc.
We are seeking minimum level of play from everyone. This includes:
- ability to serve the ball consistently
- understanding the techniques and movements for "3 touches per side", specifically:
- 1st touch: legal dig of the ball, attempting a pass to the setter
- 2nd touch: setter receives the pass and attempts to set to the left or right hitter
- 3rd touch: hitters are in position to receive the set and attack with an offensive hit
- effectively communicating with your teammates to avoid collisions and create positive outcomes
- calling your own "faults" or "violations" (blatant faults can be pointed out by any player)
If you are a beginner who may want to develop intermediate skills, please let us know, and we will provide a volunteer coach to assist you in developing any volleyball skills you request. If one is not available, then any intermediate player should be willing to provide helpful instruction between matches.
We strive for even teams to promote competitive play. Players will be divided by the meetup group organizers present. "Rigging" of teams (that is, intentionally grouping yourself with 1 or more specific players) is not allowed.

Companies are examining operational performance more closely as they strive to improve efficiency and effectiveness across all aspects of the business. Traditional measures of business success are primarily financial in nature and tend to report historical outcomes. While these measures enable some understanding and analysis of past performance, they are not sufficient to determine the practical actions required to optimize operational performance.
Additional performance metrics have been used to address the issue of performance improvement. The first approach has been to identify Key Performance Indicators or KPI metrics that are aligned with the corporate strategy and typically measure progress toward achieving strategic goals. KPI metrics are useful for ensuring strategic alignment across the various organizations within the company and illustrate whether strategic goals are achieved. However, they measure results achieved in a past period and don�t provide insight into the activities and drivers of those results, particularly within a period.
This leads to the need for another category of performance metrics called Key Performance Drivers or KPD metrics. A KPD is a measure that directly affects a business outcome or achievement of a KPI. These KPD metrics can be:
• A leading indicator or early warning that a situation exists that if not addressed will lead to a poor result;
• A performance metric that is associated with a preceding step in a value stream or business process; or
• A metric that contributes directly to a KPI and may be a component in the way

Reviews for Company Vegetable Casserole
"Loved this! I did change it a bit though. First, I used fresh green beans and I steamed them for about 9 minutes before putting them in the mix. I also did only 1 cup of frozen corn, then did a cup of fresh peas that I happened to use (didn't cook these at all beforehand). I used a little less chopped onion as well. Also, instead of the saltines and almonds, I used herbed stuffing (the kind that is more crumbly than cubed). This was the best part! The stuffing was SO good on top of this. I would definitely recommend!"
"Evpicky eaters love this! A standard at family get - togethers"
"I made this recipe exactly the way it calls for and it turned out absolutely delicious!!! I am very picky with veggies and this was so good I wanted to eat the whole dish by myself!"
"Just to clarify...I don't cut the amount of green beans in half. I cut each green bean itself. :)"
"This is an excellent and quick casserole. I prefer to cut the green beans in half. A can of cut green beans with shellie beans also works. Since my husband can't eat nuts, I omitted the almonds."
"What a great new recipe to add to my recipe book. Very simple and delicious. I substituted a splash of 1/2 & 1/2 for the sour cream (my husband does not like sour cream) and added a 1/2 cup of fresh diced mushrooms. I also omitted the almonds. Definately a keeper -"
"VERY GOOD!!! i used fresh green beans - steamed them first till tender crisp."

I LOVE TIM THOMAS!!!YEA....there......I said it
I think if we hadnt played an overtime game against the sonics the night before, we would have definently showed a better performance.. anothr great showing from tim thomas, and i dont think KT is back to full health yet...
Yah, we didn't really come out in the beggining with any passion. I think the playoffs are to out of reach now.
"One Team, One New York"
they're not out of reach yet, but we're slowing down and every other team is picking up their game
Were 5 Games back now and we are just not playing well now and not enough games left. If we put together a winning streak and the Sixers start to lose a couple then we have a shot.
"One Team, One New York"
Just got back from the game last night. I liked that it was close, but that last call was bullcorn. When the refs couldn't decide, I yelled that it was off Shareef's knee to no avail. During the shootaround, Kurt was making ALL of his shots. He only missed four or five. Ariza, Butler and Jermaina Jackson were chillin' by the basket watchin' the Illinois-Arizona game for a little bit. When Jamal was shooting, I went down as close as I could and told him to serve some dinner. He nodded and pointed to me, but it just didn't happen during the game. Oh well. That Tim Thomas dunk in the first quarter was sick! Too bad Przybilla got him back in the 3rd or 4th, whenever it was. It was a good game. Worth the drive. Just thought I'd throw some of my input on the game on this thread. Peace, for now.
Wow, you got acknologed by Jamal. Nicee!!!

Guernsey Reservoir Silt Run
Media Contact: Coleman W. Smith, (307) 261-5671
For Release: June 27, 2013
MILLS, Wyo. -- The Bureau of Reclamation's Wyoming Area Office will be lowering the water level in Guernsey Reservoir in preparation for the annual silt run. According to Coleman Smith, Wyoming Area Manager, the silt run is an operation which provides silt-laden water to Goshen, Gering-Fort Laramie, and Pathfinder Irrigation Districts under contract with Reclamation.
On July 7, 2013, the release of water from Glendo Reservoir will be decreased from approximately 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to a flow of approximately 2,700 cfs. Smith said, "The decreased flow will cause a rapid decline of the Guernsey Reservoir level of approximately 15 feet during the period of July 8 through July 10." On Monday, July 8, the boat ramps on Guernsey Reservoir will no longer be usable due to the low reservoir level. From July 11 through July 24, water being released from Glendo Reservoir will flow through Guernsey Reservoir providing silt from Guernsey Reservoir into the canals of downstream irrigators. Beginning on July 24, the release of water from Glendo Reservoir will be rapidly increased to refill Guernsey Reservoir to a level suitable for recreation by the evening of July 26.
Boaters, recreationists, and irrigators should take proper precautions regarding changing river flows between Glendo and Guernsey Reservoirs and the rapid lowering and refilling of Guernsey Reservoir.

Reclamation is the largest wholesale water supplier and the second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the United States, with operations and facilities in the 17 Western States. Its facilities also provide substantial flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife benefits. Visit our website at www.usbr.gov and follow us on Twitter @USBR.

This scenario sound familiar? Despite a fired up crowd, the Pirates drop a close one. The only reason the crowd hadn't left three innings ago, though, is the fireworks show after the game. After the final out, a Zambelli fireworks show sends everyone home mostly happy, regardless of the game's outcome.
That happened tonight, but we were in Bradenton, not Pittsburgh. I couldn't count the number of times I've gone through that at PNC Park.
Zach Duke started for the Bucs. He was lights-out…for two batters. Then Adam Jones destroyed a ball for a triple and Duke simply lost it. He walked two and allowed three consecutive hits, and the O's batted around in the first. He was much better after that before reaching his pitch count.
The Pirates returned the favor a bit in the second inning, when Pedro Alvarez pounded a double to drive in a run. Alvarez continues to hit the ball hard, and from what I've seen of him (not much), his swing and approach looks good. Ramon Vazquez nicely slapped one into left to bring home Pedro. Steve Pearce, who singled in between Pedro's double and Vazquez's single, was thrown out at third on a close play–which I suppose ended up costing the Pirates the game.
Dan McCutchen put on a show in his two innings of work, continuing to show that he deserves a rotation spot. It was 6-up-6-down for D-Cutch, and he struck out two. He looked confident and his pitches showed some serious zip and movement.
After that, it was a pretty darn boring game. We saw four new Pirates pitchers: Brendan Donnelly, Javier Lopez, Chris Jakubauskas, and Vinnie Chulk. All four put up zeroes–with Donnelly and Chulk looking especially impressive. Donnelly has a very violent motion towards the plate, but it was certainly effective. Lopez escaped a jam with a K and double play.
Baltimore only had one hit after the first inning, and it wasn't legit. A slow chopper came towards Pedro, and he picked it up and fired quickly to first–a very tough play. The throw was there on time but bounced once, and Pearce missed the pick. It was ruled a hit AND an error on Pedro because the runner advanced, but that's an extremely tough throw and a scoop Pearce needs to make.
The Pittsburgh offense was quiet after that, too. In the ninth, still down one, Jose Tabata reached on an infield hit and stole second with two outs. Brandon Jones (why is he still around?) battled for a while but eventually grounded out, disappointing the crowd–until the fireworks, that is.
Random thoughts from the game:
- McKechnie Field >>> Steinbrenner Field. There was waaay more energy in the yard tonight then there was yesterday, and it was the freakin' Pirates and Orioles playing. It has a very community-like feel, with the park right in the middle of town as opposed to absolutely nothing nearby. Despite the fireworks, it wasn't a sellout, but the stands were mostly full and fans were into the game. The seats could have been a bit more comfortable, but overall it's a lot more like spring training should be. Pitchers in the bullpen sitting on the field of play during the game, guys running sprints and jogging on the warning track during the game, palm trees swaying beyond the outfield fence, no HD video screen like the Yankees had, a picnic-table-clad area for eating with concession stands that you'd expect to see at a county fair and not a ballpark, batting cages and walkways to the clubhouses in the open where fans can see all the players…everything. It's a great environment.
- That said, I've been to McKechnie twice now. Both times were for night games. There might be three or four night games total in the place's history. Tomorrow's day game will be different for me, but is the norm here.
- One suggestion for the place, though–a radar gun, or a place to show the fans the pitch speed. I was constantly glancing at the scoreboard and it was never there.
- We sat near third base, and Pedro Alvarez looked just fine in the field. His arm is excellent, but we didn't really get to see how mobile he was (besides the play described above). He handled everything else fine and made a very nice barehand play yesterday that I failed to mention.
- At the plate, Pedro ripped the double in the second, flew/line out to left, and struck out on a very ugly three pitch sequence.
- Jeff Salazar played again! And he's still on the Orioles, not the Pirates! Lopez actually walked him once, angering me very much. Chulk struck him out the other time.
- Garrett Jones continues to hit the ball hard. He doubled in the first and nearly sent one out later in the game.

We believe it will reduce negative campaigning (...) because candidates will need to appeal to a broader range of voters for first- and second-choice rankings to build a majority of support.
Ranked-choice voting also helps create a richer and, hopefully, more civil dialogue on the issues and increases the diversity of views available for voters to consider by allowing candidates from outside the two major parties to compete.
—League of Women Voters of Maine
When voters feel like they have to choose between the lesser-of-two-evils, that's not real choice.

Buying a new car this weekend will help the humane society.
Dahl Subaru has partnered with the Coulee Region Humane Society for an adoption event. For every Subaru sold, Dahl is donating $50 to the humane society, and Subaru will donate $250.
To help the process, the adoption price for cats has been reduced to $3.50, about the price for a gallon of gas.
Both organizations are hoping to exceed their goal. "Total adoption goal is 35 animals, we have about 12 dogs here at the moment, we sent five home yesterday so we still have quite a few that are looking for homes, and we actually sent home 16 cats yesterday," Liz Meil from the humane society.
The dogs will be back at Subaru Saturday afternoon from 1:00 p.m until 4:00 p.m.

He finds that chance selling penny stocks for a small investment house and quickly uses his previously honed skills to build up his success. Along with his new and eager-to-be-rich associate, Donnie Azoff (JONAH HILL), he then starts his own firm, Stratton Oakmont, and proceeds to hire a bunch of drug pushers, such as Brad (JON BERNTHAL), as his new sales staff.
It's not long before he's wildly successful, parlaying their success of selling to small time investors over into going after the rich and conning them into buying what are otherwise nearly worthless penny stocks that will never amount to anything. With his success going to his head, and becoming a drug addict alongside Donnie, Jordan dumps Teresa for the younger Naomi Lapaglia (MARGOT ROBBIE), and even hires his own father, Max (ROB REINER), to come work at his ever-growing firm known for its unorthodox style and extravagant parties.
That success eventually draws the attention of the feds, with Agent Denham (KYLE CHANDLER) beginning his investigation of Jordan and his firm. But fueled by his wealth, the drugs he takes and a raging ego, Jordan believes he's above the law. From that point on, it's a question of whether he'll be able to stay one step ahead of the feds, including by getting creative with his wealth.
(Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).
Violence includes several hard punches, some domestic violence, other people whacking at/hitting others, and a plane exploding and crashing into the sea (seen from a distance). Moments of peril include a large yacht going through a bad storm at sea (with huge waves), some people dangling a man off the top of a building, and a man nearly choking to death while high on drugs. A flashback to a suicide scene shows a little blood while some blood splatters when a person is hit, prompting another person to vomit. Some crude comments are made and a man urinates on a subpoena.
There's lots of drug use, while drinking and smoking also occur. Bad attitudes (including criminal behavior) are present, as are many instances of potentially imitative behavior and lots of tense family material.
If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, there's a strobe effect in a strip club.
For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there's camera movement at various points in the film.

Off-Campus Programs
Albion does not award scholarships for summer off-campus study. However, students who participate in off-campus programs during fall and/or spring semesters may use 75% of their base-level Albion academic scholarship, (e.g., Distinguished Albion Scholars Program, Trustee Scholarship, Presidential Scholarship, Webster Scholarship, Ferguson Scholarship, Kresge Scholarship or Briton Award), and 100% of need-based financial aid to study off-campus.
Please check with the Student Financial Services Office to determine your status regarding other Albion scholarships you may hold.
Albion Grants for Off-Campus Study
- Off-Campus Program Grants (OCP Grant Application) are competitive scholarships awarded in the amounts of $250, $500, and $1,000. These grants are applied to the cost of semester or year-long programs.
- The Sebold Gift, a competitive $500 grant, is awarded to one OCP student each semester to cover extra expenses associated with a proposed project while doing the off-campus study.
Other Off-Campus Study Scholarship Resources
- IIE Passport provides a comprehensive Web site of scholarships, fellowships, and grants for those studying outside the U.S. This site allows you to search for funding by country, field of study, or various other criteria. Note that many of the funds will not be applicable to Albion-approved programs.
- Albion-approved program scholarships. You may find scholarship opportunities offered by your off-campus program (e.g., CIEE, SIT, IES, Boston University, Center for Cross-Cultural Studies, etc.). Some programs offer travel grants that can be applied to airfare. If you receive an award, contact the CIE Office.
Other Scholarship Sources
You also may want to investigate the following funding sources:
- Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship (for students currently receiving Pell Grants). Apply online at https://gilmanapplication.iie.org/.
- David L. Boren Undergraduate Scholarships for Study Abroad, http://www.borenawards.org/. The National Security Education Program (NSEP) provides scholarships to undergraduate students who wish to study languages and cultures pertinent to U.S. national security. Boren Scholarships provide up to $20,000 to U.S. undergraduate students to study abroad in areas of the world that are critical to U.S. interests and underrepresented in study abroad, including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The countries of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are excluded.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated recently came out with their list of the 500 best wrestlers in the world. Some look forward to this wrestling tradition—that spans over the course of two decades—each year, while others scoff.
Is a list of the 500 best wrestlers in the world overkill? Why not call it an encyclopedia or an almanac? What exactly is the breakdown of criteria after the 300th wrestler?
Does the buck stop with the WWE, rendering any "legitimate" list more of a top 100 filled mostly of national stars and household names, with a few independent workers sprinkled in?
Or is this list a legitimate tool to give informed wrestling fans a good idea of where some of the more obscure, independent wrestlers fall in the always-competitive hierarchy of professional wrestling.

The UConn front court got a boost Sunday with the addition of 6-foot-8 forward Rakim Lubin.
Lubin signed his letter of intent Sunday afternoon for UConn, which defeated Kentucky two weeks ago for its fourth national championship – and first under coach Kevin Ollie. Lubin's coach at Buford (Georgia) High School, Allen Whitehart, confirmed that "Rock" was off to become a Husky after an afternoon ceremony.
Lubin helped lead Buford to the state championship game this past winter, scoring a season-high 37 points with 21 rebounds and five blocks in the semifinals. Morgan County, led by Mississippi State recruit Tookie Brown, beat Buford in the final 69-45, with Lubin finishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
"He's a man – he could be playing on Sundays," Whitehart said of the 250-pound power forward earlier in the week.' "He's a big physical kid. A physical athlete."
With junior DeAndre Daniels leaving early for the NBA draft and Tyler Olander and Niels Giffey graduating in May, the Huskies needed additional help in the front court, especially with 7-foot center Amida Brimah undergoing off-season shoulder surgery that will sideline him four to five months.
In addition to Lubin, the Huskies' incoming recruiting class is expected to include 6-7 Daniel Hamilton, who said last week at the Jordan Brand Classic he would soon be signing his letter of intent. Hamilton, from St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, Calif., verbally committed to UConn last May and signed a financial-aid agreement in November.
The Huskies also have JUCO guard Sam Cassell Jr., a 6-foot-4 point guard who spent this season at Chipola College in Florida. Sophomore Rodney Purvis will be eligible to play after sitting out this season following a transfer from North Carolina State. UConn still has at least two scholarships to fill for the 2014-15 campaign.

Satoko Fujii & Natsuki Tamura: Gen Himmel / Dragon Nat / Tornado
Satoko Fujii
Gen Himmel
Libra Records
On the unaccompanied piano session Gen Himmel, Fujii creates a mystical ambience with darkly hued, contemplative pieces. "Take Right" opens with church bell-like chimes of the keys. Gradually Fujii expands the spirituality of the tune beyond ritual to a sublime transcendence, especially as she utilizes carefully placed silent pauses that plucked strings punctuate. At the climax, all form disintegrates in an intense passion of exhilarating sonic swirls. The piece closes on quieter, blues-tinged tone.
Fujii's ability to spontaneously weave complex textures and patterns is remarkable enough but she goes a step further. She often unravels her own musical constructs to rebuild in a different direction. Her "Dawn Broun" is founded on a deceptively simple vamp out of which she constructs and deconstructs the stimulating theme over and over until she achieves intelligent, angular crystalline structures.
Fujii is also fond of basic notal clusters that she can use to dramatic effect with her intricate ad-lib pianism. "Ram" for instance is a meditatively peaceful tune that the progression of the elementary refrains endows with a powerful ethereal effect.
Throughout she maintains a strong level of melodicism as on the lilting lullaby "Summer Solstice" and the crepuscular "Der Traum." The latter's shimmering lines and echoing phrases grow brighter as the album concludes.
With each new provocative work Fujii's ingenuity grows, making her music ever fresh and delightfully thrilling.
Natsuki Tamura
Dragon Nat
Libra Records
A solo trumpet record is bound to raise eyebrows but Tamura is someone who can pull it off with elegance and sophistication. He does that on Dragon Nat, a set of ten, energetic yet simultaneously serene originals.
Certainly not for mainstream tastes the disc, nevertheless, contains haunting and complex music that conjures a wide range of emotion. The bittersweet "Forever" is an undulating mellifluous ballad with elements of both melancholy and joy that closes with eastern harmonic flavors. The nostalgic "In Berlin, In September" is a yearning, achingly gorgeous track that evolves into an expansive and mesmerizing poem.
The centerpiece of the CD is the Zen "Dialogue." Ringing bells and softly blowing trumpet create a serene and somber atmosphere. As the percussive elements quiet down Tamura lays down hypnotic, tightly woven and introspective lines. The title does not only refer to the conversation between horn and carillon but also that between the visceral and cerebral. Hand drum beats and his distinctive vocalizations through the mouthpiece add a primal earthiness to the piece.
The intriguing record closes with the pastoral "Matsuri" bisected by a burst of cascading notes. Much like other avant-garde single instrument albums; for instance saxophonists Anthony Braxton's For Alto (Delmark, 1970) and Evan Parker's The Snake Decides (Incus, 1988) or trombonist George Lewis' The Solo Trombone Record (Sackville, 1976), Dragon Nat requires concentration and a committed and an open ear to fully savor. It, however, like its predecessors makes for an immensely rewarding and thought-provoking listening experience.
Libra Records
Kaze; Japanese for wind, is the collaborative quartet of two-trumpet frontline of Tamura and Christian Pruvost. It creates exhilarating and dramatic music where the individual band members' expressions blend in the equally imaginative group play. On Tornado the horns often blow in unison as a singular, double bell brass while at other times they duel like a double-headed creature.
"Wao" opens with Tamura and Provost's unified resonating, thick long notes that evolves into vibrato filled phrases of atonality. This leads to the explosive energetic collective improvisation with Fujii's angular deluge of notes and drummer Peter Orins' rumbling, elaborate polyrhythms.
On the title track Tamura and Povost carry on a clever, sometimes whimsical, dialogue of flitters, squeaks and chants that emerges from Fujii's electrifying circular pianism and Orins' harmonically rich beats. The group deftly mixes elements of artful noise into the melodic convention of the piece
The tense and cinematic "Triangle," opens with Provost's fluttering gust alternating with Tamura's whimpering swish. Orrins' percussion rustles in the breeze as the piano innards vibrate. A hypnotic, mellifluous ensemble sound reaches a climax and abruptly fades away shining the spotlight on the trumpets. A delightfully cacophonic composite extemporization leads to Orrins' almost melodic, and breathtakingly agile drum work, which fades, into a marche funėbre of sort. Out of that melancholy emerges Fujii's pensive and elegiac solo that evolves into a passionate, edgy sonata before the band's fiery and thrilling conclusion.
Fujii and Tamura have not lost any creative momentum, on the contrary, their output continues to grow and mature while retaining its youthful energy. Their oeuvre will surely stand the test of time.

The last sentence on page 196 of the 802.11 spec creates a furor.
Written by Thomas M. Stockwell
Wi-Fi has a long history of security vulnerabilities and resulting fixes. WEP, TKIP, WPA, and the current standard of WPA2 have brought the technology closer to being secure. Indeed, the pervasiveness of Wi-Fi has changed everything—from how we design computer networks, to where we enjoy our coffee breaks, to how we buy and read our books. Travel in any foreign land, and the first question you'll find yourself asking the natives is "Where is the nearest Wi-Fi?"
By investing in an integrated data protection solution offering encryption, key management, and tokenization, users will have the best available insurance against significant business loss.
Written by Gary Palgon
Editor's Note: This article introduces a white paper titled "Best Practices in Data Protection: Encryption, Key Management and Tokenization." It is available free from the MC Press White Paper Center.
Protecting sensitive and business-critical data is essential to a company's reputation, profitability and business objectives. Companies know they can't afford a data breach—customer churn, loss of business, brand damage, fines and litigation. In today's global market, where business data and personal information know no boundaries, traditional point solutions that protect certain devices or applications against specific risks are insufficient to provide cross-enterprise data security.
