Narcan administered to woman in Pomfret
Sources of strength
MAYVILLE – What started as a pilot program at Chautauqua Lake Central School now has students looking out for each other's physical and mental health.
Now in its second year, the district's Sources of Strength program has participated in a number of events, and has raised the morale of students and staff at CLCS.
Sources of Strength was originally conceived in the late 1990s by Mark LoMurray in North Dakota. It was intended to provide suicide prevention services in schools, and to combat bullying. Now in partnership with the University of Rochester, the program was offered to Chautauqua Lake at the beginning of the 2011-12 academic year.
According to Steve Johnston, student council and administrative adviser, Chautauqua Lake is one of two districts in Chautauqua County participating in the program – Brocton being the other one – and the program has been successful to this point.
"The goal was to pick students from all different social groups within a school, and so we have a microcosm of our school within this group," he said. "Some are athletic, some have a musical bend to them, some are academic and some are computer (savvy) – so it's a very diverse group of kids. And now we're focusing on trying to get the message out, as far as a group, that we all have tough times; and looking at what sort of support we can have for ourselves as a group, and also our friends to get us through tough times. We're basically trying to improve the school climate."
The group set out to improve its school climate by adapting and expanding upon the tenets of the program for use within a school setting. The group addresses hard times they face by referencing "the wheel" – a circular diagram displaying eight separate characteristics for healthy living, including: mental health, family support, positive friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality and medical access. Students then play to their strengths, applying themselves in the areas that they do well in, while also working in the areas that they could improve upon.
"The wheel gives everyone an opportunity to strengthen the things they're weak in," said Charity Ludwig, a junior. "One of mine is positive friends, so I'm always working on gaining more positive friends and influences. And, through my experience, it's influenced other students to do the same thing."
Students in the Sources of Strength group have participated in several activities intended to encourage their fellow students. The group hosted a pep rally to raise funds for Aili Makuch, a classmate who was diagnosed with cancer, and has most recently donated money and blankets to other classmates who are unable to attend school due to illness.
Currently, the program is focusing on mentoring for students of all ages. According to Ryan Smith, a social worker who is contracted with Chautauqua Lake to counsel students from kindergarten through sixth grade, the high school students have been doing one-on-one mentoring with elementary students.
"We're looking at it from a very preventative point of view," he said. "When you see the level of issues that (students can) have in high school, I think a lot of times it's not so much that they fell through the cracks, it's just that they've gotten worse and worse over time. Bad things in their lives have been created through (various) life stressors. If we can build the strength at an early level, with social skills and coping skills, they can look at the high schoolers as people they can work with and talk to about their life issues."
David Applegarth is a tenth-grader who has been mentoring an elementary school student, but he said he has gotten plenty out of the program himself.
"What (Sources of Strength) has done for me is get me to go and talk to more people, and see how things are going around the school. It's gotten me more positively motivated, and I've also found other teachers that I can talk to throughout the program," said David.
According to Josh Liddell, Chautauqua Lake's secondary school principal, the Sources of Strength program has greeted the Ripley Central School students that will be attending Chautauqua Lake next school year, and plans to help ease the transition process of switching schools for those students.
"At Chautauqua Lake, we have expanded the Sources of Strength program to assist in our goal of eliminating bullying and harassment," Liddell said. "So far, it has been an excellent program, (promoting) students caring about students and working together to continue to improve our school environment."

I have a kitchen aid 325 watt mixer and I mix my dough on the lowest setting. [I think there are 10 settings, but when using the dough hook I keep it on the lowest, the setting under "2" which is something like mix or stir??]Anyway, is this enough to work with my high gluten four. Do I need a more powerful mixer or use a higher setting? I typically do a 5 minute mix, rest 5 minutes, then 5 more minutes mix.I typically use under 1.5 lbs of flour with about (60%) 4/5 lb of water.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (79 votes).
In short: For a beginner it was challenging but felt great to get to the finish!Date of review: January 10, 2008
In short: I even found it hilly (i am fond of hills)In full: It was the wind that got me, i was 5 mins slower 2nd half than 1st half. I had no problem with the marshals, i don't tend to notice marshals- only when they fail to tell me which way. I think that's their job rather than being cheerful. Not much food on offer after the event(crucial to me as i had to ride to the station and no food all the way back to London- i was starving!), that is something they might address as they could make extra for the charity!Date of review: January 16, 2007
In short: free Tea, a nice medal and one 'hill'of a race!In full: Definitely try to get there early, say 45 mins before race start or you will struggle with parking. Free Tea/coffee/orange juice and biccies before and after the race for runners. It was full - 500 runners with a few turned away as well! And then comes the ominous hill. Even if you know it is coming it doesn't stop you thinking you are on for a pb around halfway! good luck and keep some energy in reserve for the last 2.5k!Date of review: January 11, 2007
In short: Needs more club runners organising, the Lions don't create a motivating atmosphere Date of review: January 9, 2007
In short: Nice hilly race shame about the lack of encouragement from the marshallsIn full: It was a difficult race. Even the first 5K going downhill was hard on your legs, the uphill from 7K onwards was a challenge. However it was nice to run a hilly course. A couple of gripes are the complete lack of encouragement or sign of friendlyness from the course marshalls. "Smile and clap, it does help". My second gripe was the lack of water at the finish line.Date of review: January 8, 2007
In short: A challenging race of 2 halvesIn full: A race to get the old heart beating! Panoramic scenery (shame about Didcot) but missed the pigs somehow. I'm still aching after the hills, and it was tough to sprint after the climb. The first half lulled us into a false sense of security. All bvery character building! Loads of marshalls & nice friedly ambience. Date of review: January 8, 2007
In short: Ouch - talk about a slog to the finish. I was doing quite well to 7K then it all went horribly wrong. Pigs were cool though and made me smile.Date of review: January 8, 2007
In short: Didn't really enjoy this, but it was probably me, not the raceIn full: I really didn't like doing the downhill bit first and the uphill last. I didn't find the marshalls very encouraging and, not being a local, I got lost on the way, the car park was full, and the 'advice' I got for parking - 'you just have to look for somewhere'- was not really helpful.Date of review: January 8, 2007
In short: Gentle start...nasty finish. Great Pigs!In full: Fisrt race so nothing to compare it too! had driven the course so knew the nasty hills were coming up - literally! Didn't think the marshalls encouraged at all but didn't bother me - they all seemed pretty old so the cold was probably getting them down a bit. Would definately run again, if only to teach those hills a lesson next year...(year right..!)Date of review: January 8, 2007
In short: Well organised and friendly.In full: Well organised with the free hot drinks being a nice touch. Perhaps a profile of the course could have been displayed at the start alongside the route - this would have helped the first-timers. Date of review: January 8, 2007

Rate-rig spotlight falls on 'Rain Man'
Many anonymous traders are implicated in the tall stack of documents regulators published this week detailing Royal Bank of Scotland's attempts to rig the lending benchmark known as Libor. But only one trader is cited by name: a 33-year-old so brainy yet socially awkward that colleagues nicknamed him "Rain Man".
Regulators portray that man, Tom Hayes, as the connective tissue in pervasive efforts by several banks to boost trading profits by manipulating the London interbank offered rate. Hayes hopscotched from RBS to the Royal Bank of Canada to UBS to Citigroup, picking up the contacts and know-how that would be necessary to game Libor.
In one electronic chat released in connection with regulators' $612m settlement with RBS this week, Hayes asked another bank to skew Libor "too low for the next few days," promising to "return the favour as when you need it."
Yet Hayes often acted with the knowledge of bosses mindful of his ability to rack up big trading profits. When Citigroup in 2009 sought to lure him away from UBS with a $5m job offer, some at UBS fought to keep Hayes by telling UBS executives of his ability to tap contacts who could nudge Libor up or down. His "strong connections with Libor setters in London [are] invaluable," his boss wrote in an email to executives, including one who now co-heads the firm's investment bank.
Citigroup managed to hire Hayes. With his expertise in hand, the bank signed up to help set the Tokyo counterpart of Libor. The goal of some at the bank was to enable Hayes to manipulate that rate, said people familiar with the decision.
Hayes soon morphed from coveted asset to liability. Citigroup fired him less than a year after hiring him, amid an internal probe it undertook when another employee raised concerns he was making inappropriate requests about Libor submissions. Japanese regulators later penalised Citigroup for trying to rig Libor and the Japanese benchmark, and Citigroup remains under investigation by the US and British authorities.
UBS, meanwhile, in December became the second bank, after Barclays, to settle Libor-rigging allegations, paying $1.5bn to US, UK and Swiss authorities. The UBS Japanese unit where Hayes worked pleaded guilty to US fraud charges.
In December, the US Justice Department charged Hayes with fraud, conspiracy and an antitrust violation. He is also under investigation in Britain, where he was arrested in December but hasn't been charged and remains free.
Hayes hasn't filed a plea to the Department of Justice charges. In a text message to The Wall Street Journal, he said: "This goes much much higher than me."
Jennifer Arcuri, a close friend of Hayes, said he is cooperating with British authorities and pointing the finger at former superiors. "He believes he's innocent. He had no idea this was going to come back at him," Arcuri said. Trying to rig Libor "was common industry practice," she said. "It was like spanking children in the '70s - it wasn't bad."
This account of Hayes's role in the long-running Libor scandal emerged from interviews with people who know or worked with him and from a review of hundreds of pages of regulatory and court documents. The sources reveal, among other things, that he was sometimes encouraged by superiors to pursue an envelope-pushing trading strategy.
Hayes grew up middle class in western London. As he neared the end of his college maths and computer-programming studies, a parade of banks flew him first-class to their offices for interviews.
He joined RBS as a junior trader in 2001, according to UK regulatory records. His specialty became trading the financial instruments called derivatives, many tied to Libor. The Libor rates - benchmarks for interest costs on countless consumer and business loans world-wide - are compiled each day in several currencies and maturities. They are based on estimates banks submit of how much it would cost them to borrow money from other banks.
Though Hayes gained a reputation as a top trader, he struck colleagues as anxious and self-conscious, spoke quietly and dressed more like a college student -- with washed out jeans, a polo shirt and sometimes a threadbare sweater -- than a highly paid investment-banking employee. The "Rain Man" nickname stuck.
In the spring of 2006, UBS hired Hayes for the Swiss bank's Tokyo office. There, according to regulators, traders were already engaging in behavior authorities later described as inappropriate: They routinely submitted requests to colleagues in London and Zurich to move the bank's Libor submissions up or down to suit the traders' positions.
Hayes found himself seated next to employees responsible for submitting data for inclusion in Japanese benchmark rates, said a person familiar with the matter. Arcuri says he later told her he found the practices unsettling.
"Who was I to question what they were doing? I thought it was weird, but that's how they did it," Arcuri says he told her. Within a few months, based on practices at the bank and feedback from his bosses, Hayes considered it part of his job, said a person familiar with his thinking.
His trading strategy, say US and British authorities, involved bets on the direction of certain Libor rates relative to other benchmarks. For example, he bought derivatives that would gain value if there was a narrowing of the difference between yen Libor and the Tokyo overnight average rate, a benchmark set by the Bank of Japan. That meant, at least initially, he had an incentive to see yen Libor rise.
To make that happen, he was in almost daily contact with UBS employees, asking them to move the bank's Libor submissions up or down. Hayes's boss was aware of his actions, according to the Justice Department.
Then, regulators say, Hayes took Libor manipulation a step further, into an effort involving other banks. Around January 2007, he started contacting not just other UBS employees to try to skew the Libor rate but a handful of friends and former colleagues at other banks.
Many UBS derivatives traders and managers "were involved in the manipulative conduct," the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission said in December. But, in a reference to a trader that clearly was Hayes, the CFTC said his actions "dwarfed them all" as he "spearheaded a massive effort" to manipulate benchmark rates.
In an email the Justice Department released when it settled with UBS, Hayes, admitting his request was a "bit cheeky," asked a trader to raise the rate in the Libor submission from the trader's bank. "Anytime I can return the favour let me know as the guys here are pretty accommodating to me," Hayes wrote. The unidentified other trader replied, "I will try my best."
As one of Tokyo's biggest derivatives traders, Hayes was a coveted customer of brokerage firms that match buyers and sellers. Soon, Hayes roped certain brokers, too, into his Libor-massaging effort, according to the Justice Department. It said that after discussing the strategy with his UBS boss, he started asking the brokers to help influence other banks' Libor submissions. In exchange, he routed transactions and sometimes cash to the brokers, according to the Justice Department and other regulators.
The strategy wasn't a secret. Each morning at a meeting of UBS's interest-rate-derivatives desk in Tokyo, Hayes told colleagues which way he planned to push Libor that day, according to the Justice Department. Hayes was so open about his strategy that he would change his status on his Facebook page to reflect his daily desires for Libor to move up or down, said a person familiar with the matter.
Though generating tens of millions of dollars a year in revenue, he worried his bosses weren't satisfied. "Have had ok year but management still pushing me for more," he wrote to a trader at another bank in November 2007, according to the CFTC.
As Hayes brought in more revenue, UBS loosened the reins. The bank let him take so much risk that he could lose up to $3m for every hundredth of a point rates moved, said people familiar with the matter.
He caught the attention of rival banks. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. put out informal feelers about hiring Hayes, according to people familiar with the matter.
Citigroup executives wooed him in June 2009 at a swanky bar in Tokyo. As they showered him with praise, say people who were there, Hayes rarely spoke, instead letting his girlfriend, a lawyer, answer questions.
After Citigroup offered Hayes more than double the nearly $2m he was earning at UBS, his UBS boss, Michael Pieri, lobbied a senior UBS executive to counter with a big bonus, according to people familiar with the offer. Emails released by the Justice Department show Hayes's boss cited the trader's "strong connections with Libor setters in London. This information is invaluable for the derivatives books."
Among those the email was addressed to was Carsten Kengeter, now co-head of UBS's investment bank, according to a person familiar with the matter. He declined to comment through a UBS spokesman. Swiss regulators said in December they didn't find any evidence UBS top management knew of Hayes's activities. Pieri, no longer at UBS, didn't respond to requests for comment.
But when the senior UBS executive asked for input about Hayes, a trading-desk manager emailed: "I find it embarrassing when he calls up his mates to ask for favours." The manager added, "It makes UBS appear to manipulate others to suit our position."
UBS decided not to award Hayes the bonus. In December 2009 he joined Citigroup. He initially kept a low-profile, dining at KFC while colleagues hit Tokyo's premier bars and clubs. "There was zero flash about him," a former colleague says.
At a retreat in April 2010, the head of Citigroup's Japanese investment bank, Brian Mccappin, told traders that Hayes was "a star" and that their unit would shift into more derivatives trading to take advantage of his talent, according to attendees.
The same month, Citigroup signed up to help set the Tokyo interbank offered rate, a counterpart of Libor, becoming one of the few non-Japanese banks involved. The reason, according to people familiar with the decision, was simple: to enable Hayes to manipulate the Japanese rate, known as Tibor.
Mccappin signed off on the decision to join Tibor, these people said. Senior executives weren't aware of the manipulation plan, one of the people said. Mr. Mccappin, who still works for Citigroup, didn't respond to requests for comment. He hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing.
Hayes and his boss, Chris Cecere, then set out to rig Tibor, Japan's Financial Services Agency said in a December 2011 administrative action against Citigroup. Hayes repeatedly asked Citigroup colleagues and his contacts at other banks, including UBS, to move their Libor and Tibor interest-rate submissions on his behalf. Cecere asked a Citigroup employee to change the bank's Tibor data, the Japanese regulator said.
In July 2010, Cecere got a call from Citigroup's legal department. An employee in London had raised concerns that Hayes was making inappropriate requests about the bank's Libor submissions. Citigroup hired a law firm to sift through Hayes's emails and phone calls. It sent compliance officials to Tokyo to investigate.
Hayes told colleagues he was "flabbergasted" and said he "had no idea it was wrong," a former colleague says.
It was an inopportune time for Hayes, who was planning his wedding at a Georgian manor house in the English countryside. In early September 2010, two weeks before the wedding, Citigroup fired him.
Citigroup said Hayes "was terminated in September 2010 following an incident that was reported to compliance. Citi also reported the matter to the appropriate regulators at the time."
Hayes's boss, Cecere, agreed to leave Citigroup. The bank then racked up over $50m in losses unwinding Hayes's trading portfolio, said people familiar with the matter. According to one of the people, Hayes eventually told Cecere he felt "so bad you've been dragged into it."
Cecere, now at hedge fund Brevan Howard in Geneva, said he hasn't been contacted by any regulator in connection with Libor investigations.
Citigroup then contacted regulators in the US, UK and Japan to inform them of the attempted manipulation of yen Libor and Tibor, according to a person familiar with the matter. That triggered an intensifying investigation that eventually included numerous banks.
Six months later, Hayes's former assistant trader, a 27-year-old Kazakh whom UBS had hired out of a Japanese university, was being interviewed at FBI headquarters in Washington, according to a person familiar with the matter. With recording equipment rolling, the former assistant phoned Hayes to say he'd been called to an interview with US prosecutors.
Hayes said, "The U.S. Department of Justice, mate, you know, they're like . . . the dudes who . . . put people in jail," according to a transcript of the call cited in the U.S. criminal complaint against Hayes. "Why the hell would you want to talk to them?" The assistant nonetheless agreed to cooperate, the Justice Department said.
Hayes is trying to turn over a new leaf. He and his friend Arcuri last year founded a company that describes itself as a website and mobile-app developer. Arcuri is prodding Hayes to speak at a London technology conference she is organising this spring. The proposed theme: "Hi, I'm Tom and I used to be a banker."

In the last decade many approaches have been proposed for automatic facial expression recognition. In this talk I will be introducing the breakthrough we are experiencing in this field. This is mainly due to two factors: first is the high quality annotated databases that have been made available to everybody, and the second is the advance of learning algorithms, most notably the advance of constrained local models (CLM).
3D shape-only information based facial expression analysis represents a relatively less studied area of research until present. The main trend is to use appearance information and use shape as a side information for the classification. Line drawings, however, can express facial expressions very well, so shape information could also be a good descriptor of emotions. 3D shape as opposed to texture is attractive for facial expression recognition since it should be robust against rotations and may be robust against light conditions.
The final scope of this talk is to show that 3D shape-only information based facial expression analysis is useful for real-life scenarios, and it can offer a viable solution as an integral part of facial expression classification algorithm.
Additional Information
Host: Jeff Cohn
Laszlo Attila Jeni is a research scientist at the Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The main body of his work concentrates on machine learning for affective behavior analysis and its applications, including 3D deformable face registration, facial expression analysis and human-machine interaction. At present most of his research focuses on robust constrained local models for facial expression analysis. He received his PhD from the Electrical Engineering department of the University of Tokyo and his M.Sc. from the Eotvos Lorand University, Hungary.

'14 session: short with plenty on docket
MARSHALL – Legislators are sure to keep busy during the 2014 legislative session as they will work to craft a bonding bill while spending time on tax issues during a considerably shorter session than usual.
The session is set to convene Feb. 21 and adjourn May 20.
"It will certainly be a shorter session this year," said District 16 Sen. Gary Dahms, R-Redwood Falls. "The repealing of the business-to-business taxes will be high on the agenda."
Taxes, in particular what taxes to get rid of, will be a major part of this year's session. Last fall, Dayton dubbed the 2014 session the "unsession," as he wants legislators to focus on eliminating outdated state laws, not add new ones. Republicans will look at 2014 as their opportunity to undo recent laws put into place by the Democrats, such as business-to-business taxes, including the warehouse tax that passed in the 11th hour in 2013.
Dayton has already announced he will remove his proposal to tax business-to-business services. The warehouse tax – a 6.875 percent service tax on Minnesota warehouses – is slated to take effect in April. Opponents of the tax call it a threat to developers and owners of industrial and warehouse properties. Dayton has also hinted the tax on farm equipment repair could be repealed.
"One of the big things this year will be the unwinding of some of the taxes that were brought up last year; that's gonna take up a lot of time," District 16A Rep. Chris Swedzinski, R-Ghent said. "We don't want to be an island and have these taxes separate us from other states like Iowa, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, even Manitoba. There are a lot of negative consequences surrounding these taxes."
The city of Marshall will once again keep a close eye on bonding, as it continues its quest to secure money for the sports complex and MERIT Center expansion.
"I'm pretty confident we'll get some bonding money for projects in District 16," said Dahms. "I think we're in pretty good shape, but we don't want to take anything for granted. A lot of times, bonding doesn't happen right away, you gotta keep taking runs at it."
The sports complex did make it into the bonding bill last year, but that bill ultimately got whittled down to mostly capital improvements.
"Bonding will be a big part of the session; Governor (Mark) Dayton has talked about bringing forth a $975 million bill at the end of last session," Swedzinski said. "Last year, Democrats and Republicans agreed to try to keep it under $1 billion in total bonding because the state is coming close to the ceiling. I think it will be in the $750 million to $850 million range."
Dahms said other legislation that will likely be vetted this year include the minimum wage bill, the anti-bullying bill and funding for those who work in homes for the disabled. Supporters of what is called the 5% Campaign are looking to get funding for what they say are long-overdue pay increases for those who work with the disabled community and older adults. The group, which Dahms said has support from the Senate's rural caucus, is asking for $86 million for FY2015, which begins July 1. That $86 million would be matched by federal dollars and will go toward caregivers for seniors and the disabled.
Dahms and Swedzinski will be in Marshall for a town hall meeting at noon on Monday at city hall, part of a two-day, pre-session tour of southwest Minnesota. Other stops Monday include: Vesta, 10-11 a.m. at the Community Hall; Minneota, 2-3 p.m. at the Senior Center; Canby, 3:45-4:45 p.m. at Community Center; and Clarkfield, 6-7 p.m. at the City Hall meeting room. Tuesday's stops include: Granite Falls, 11 a.m.-noon at city hall, council chambers; Madison, 2:15-3:15 p.m. at city hall auditorium; Bellingham, 3:45-4:45 p.m. at Our Place Cafe; and Dawson, 6-7 p.m. at the city building.
"We like to do town halls just before the sessions, have one while in session and then do a wrap-up," Swedzinski said. "We focus on specific issues with folks, maybe there's a bill they want to move. It's a great opportunity to reach out to our constituents and look at new legislation. We've got a lot of new bills that have come through the pike, whether it's tax policy or general policy, that are things people would like to see changed."
Swedzinski likes the town hall set-up and encourages people to attend, as this is their chance to bend legislators' ears prior to the beginning of the session.
"It's hard to call them beneficial if no one comes," he said. "We had one in Marshall last session where I think we had 70, 80 people; we also had one where there was one or two people."
Swedzinski noted that the pre-session tour includes not only the larger cities like Marshall and Granite Falls but smaller towns as well.
"We're going to Minneota, Bellingham, which is a real small town in the northern part of the district, because it's hard for some people to get around," he said. "We really want to get into as many communities as possible to reach people who maybe wouldn't be able to come to Canby, Granite Falls or Marshall."

I barfed out all the Pick-Up Stix, then rehydrated and went back to sleep. Hour later, water gun all over the toilet. Then, at 3:45 all this stomach acid flew out of my mouth. Holy shit was that gross. I finally got something to eat and just stayed awake until I fell asleep... And guess what? Barfed.
I almost died hyperventilating too... Shit sucked and I didn't even know I was hyperventilating, probably because of the lack of oxygen in my brain.

This is one of three SCADA security courses available through Idaho National Laboratory NSTB program. This intermediate SCADA security course is expected to take 8 hours. All the courses are designed to increase cyber security awareness and defensive capabilities for IT/Control System managers, IT/Control System security personnel, network and control system support engineers, and control system designers and developers who are involved in or responsible for control system cyber security. The courses are geared toward systems in the energy sector, but are relevant to most control system environments.
This course is structured to help students not only understand exactly how attacks against SCADA systems could be launched and why they work, but also provides mitigation strategies to increase the cyber security posture of your control system network. Accompanying this course should be a sample SCADA network that demonstrates exploits used for unauthorized control of the SCADA system and mitigation solutions.

The USB 3.0 Promoter Group on Wednesday announced that it is creating a new power delivery specification which will significantly extend the capabilities and usages of cable bus power in USB applications. The new technology will allow to deliver up to 100W of power to USB 3.0-compatible peripherals thus greatly improving usage cases of such devices.
The new USB 3.0 specification will be compatible with existing cables and connectors, will allow voltage and current values to be negotiated over the USB power pins, set to coexists with USB Battery Charging 1.2 and works equally well with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. The main idea of the promo group is to enable delivery of up to 100W of power using USB 3.0 cables.
Typical USB 3.0 ports can supply up to 4.5W of power (5V, 0.9A) to various gadgets, which means that capability to deliver 100W of power is a major update to the specification. Potentially, the new USB 3.0/100W ports will allow to plug in various devices - such as monitors, printers, speakers, etc - into a single personal computer, which will greatly reduce the number of power outlets required for modern devices. Separately, the new technology will allow to charge notebooks and tablets using universal adapters (provided that manufacturers will let them become universal).
It remains to be seen whether implementation of USB 3.0/100W interface will be enough cost-efficient. In general, implementation of such ports required more robust power circuitry on mainboards, besides, SuperSpeed USB/100W cables may also be more expensive than traditional.
"The new USB Power Delivery specification extends USB's cable power delivery capabilities beyond simple battery charging. For example, charging the battery of a notebook PC, or simply powering that notebook PC while actively using the USB data connection, would be possible. Conceivably, a notebook PC could rely solely on a USB connection for its source of power," said Brad Saunders, USB 3.0 promoter group chairman.
The USB Power Delivery specification is targeted for industry review during the final quarter of this year.

Osnabrück, where the Peace of Westphalia was signed, is home to one of Germany's nine three-Michelin-star restaurants: local-born chef Thomas Bühner's exciting flavour-centric cuisine has made the town a highly desirable gourmet destination.
Thomas Bühner's development mirrors the recent meteoric rise of German haute cuisine: in recent years, the protégé of classic-French inspiredHarald Wohlfahrt has become a leading exponent of the new German school of cuisine. Bühner's style could be described as German avant garde, but this hardly does justice to his culinary imagination, which goes far beyond merely demonstrating his technical brilliance and his daring flavour combinations. Instead, he uses modern methods of gentle vacuum and low-temperature cooking to preserve the natural flavours of his meat and increasingly his vegetables (La Vie has been using the many varieties in the Ippenburg Palace kitchen garden since 2011), which concentrates attention on the taste and naturalness of his food. Bühner certainly subscribes to the idea of taking his foot off the gas.
The focal point of his creations are excellent ingredients, whose many facets he presents with great precision and sets off with different textures. The dining experience is a highly thrilling flavour discovery tour that is infinitely surprising, never hard work and full of blissful moments. Excellent illustrations of Bühner's cuisine are his lamb from front to back with miso cream, which very impressively shows different cooking techniques within an overall context, the pure venison,in which his gently poached venison is served with a pure venison jus produced using a vacuum evaporator, and his marinated mackerel with sesame ice cream and passion fruit..

As an apostate Mormon I always rejoice when moderate
As an apostate Mormon I always rejoice when moderate voices within the church are celebrated but this is short lived. There may be members that FEEL differently than the leadership of the church on issues like marriage rights or a modern role for women, but there is a key component to the doctrine that is a huge obstacle to the voice of moderates. That is the doctrine of Prophetic Authority. Where most contemporary Christian faiths (except, to some degree, Catholicism) rely on the flexible and adaptable human interpretation of scripture, at the head of the LDS church is a man who claims to be a Prophet in the OT since of the title. He and the 12 apostles speak directly to and for God. When M. Russell Ballard claimed in general conference that no one was born gay, he was saying that with apostolic authority. The subsequent revision was the final word on the subject but the truth remains. These men (and men only) know the mind of God and so there is no interpretation that is valid but theirs. This severely restricts the church's ability to grow and evolve socially, we have the previous prophets who knew God too and in so doing exposes the greatest weakness to the church - accountability.

It's interesting to me how much of this interview resonated with me as someone who grew up in a conservative evangelical world and saw the closing of any progressive leanings when I was at the university as an English major in the early 90s. As a mainstream Christian, I had an easier out, there were other options; I was able simply--that's a loaded term, only took about 15 years--to switch to a mainline church where I and my ideas were welcomed with open arms. I still have trouble negotiating the past world of friends and family, though, and I, too, married outside the faith. There were many reasons for my choice, but when Brooks said, "I knew I needed a marriage that would keep me safe" I suddenly grasped a truth about my own marriage that I had never put into words. So, thanks for this.

Ukraine Independence

Peter Goldring Edmonton East, AB
Mr. Speaker, 15 years ago, Ukrainians overwhelmingly chose to return to the status of an independent nation. The day after its referendum, Canada and Poland became the first two countries to recognize the newly sovereign Ukraine.
Today the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group is hosting a reception celebrating this monumental achievement that brought with it the rebirth of democracy in Ukraine. We will also celebrate the ties that bind Canada, Ukraine and Poland. Two million Canadians owe their heritage to Ukraine and Poland.
Since laying the foundations of democracy in those early years, people of Ukraine have surely and steadily strengthened their institutions of democracy. Canada will continue to be supportive of all people who strive to achieve freedoms that are brought about by their desire for democracy.
I wish to congratulate the people of Ukraine for their great accomplishment 15 years ago and for their continued determination to embrace their future within the world of democratic nations.

Mr. Speaker, I am beaming.
I am happy. Today the Liberal Party has a new leader and we are very proud of him.
As the leader of the NDP so eloquently said in the House, "He is a committed Canadian and a man of principle and conviction".
I also want to say how proud we are of all the candidates who began this race for leadership. I had the honour and the opportunity to get to know them well as we travelled across this country together meeting and talking with Canadians. I was inspired by their vision and their passion, their love for this country.
Three of them are not yet members of the House. Given their drive, commitment, courage and propensity for hard work, I have no doubt that we will be welcoming Martha Hall Findlay, Bob Rae and Gerard Kennedy to the House of Commons and to a new Liberal government very soon.

Mr. Speaker, a contingent of 120 soldiers is leaving the Valcartier military base today and heading for Afghanistan on a nine-month mission under the auspices of NATO and sanctioned by the United Nations.
I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to these courageous men and women who have not hesitated to leave their friends and family for a mission that will be dangerous at times.
These soldiers of the Royal 22nd Regiment from CFB Valcartier will join the provincial reconstruction team which, since the beginning of the mission, has been rebuilding roads, schools and community centres to help improve the lives of the Afghan people.
I have no doubt that our soldiers will make a difference in the lives of the Afghan people. On behalf of my colleagues, I wish to affirm that they have the steadfast support of the Conservative government.

Mr. Speaker, the Thérèse-De Blainville Chamber of Commerce and Industry is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. For 20 years it has been helping entrepreneurs and businesspeople in our region, providing networking opportunities and fostering community involvement.
The CCITB has 430 members and serves the municipalities of Blainville, Boisbriand, Rosemère, Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines and Sainte-Thérèse. By keeping an open mind and working long and hard, its directors have contributed to the economic and social development of a region that is growing at a dizzy pace.
Securely established in the RCM Thérèse-De Blainville, the CCITB is doing very well: it has a strong foundation, and its directors and staff are dynamic.
The members of the Bloc Québécois join me in congratulating the entire CCITB team and acknowledging how proud was are to represent them in the House of Commons.

Mr. Speaker, I take great pride today in rising to congratulate a man who has always served as a role model to my generation of Albertans, the new premier-elect of the province of Alberta, the hon. Ed Stelmach.
This past Saturday marked the successful conclusion of a hard fought campaign based on ideas, hard work, honesty and respect and the beginning of a new era in Alberta. This was a long process and I would like to congratulate the other leadership candidates for their dedication over the past months promoting and building strong conservative ideals in Alberta.
Premier-elect Stelmach ran a positive unifying campaign. He will bring his years of cabinet experience, together with strong rural roots and family values to ensure that Alberta remains a leader in Confederation and is governed by smart, sensible decisions and good old-fashioned hard work.
It is good to see that in Alberta good guys can still finish first.
By choosing premier-elect Stelmach, Albertans have made a clean and unified choice.

Mr. Speaker, an incredible team of Liberal leadership candidates gave evidence to the depth and talent of our party at this weekend's Liberal leadership convention in Montreal. The tributes also go to four other members of this caucus who put their names forward in the leadership race and who raised the bar for us all.
Our colleague, the member for St. Paul's, brought health care to the very forefront of the policy discussion. The member for Vancouver Centre gave real insight into the importance of progress on multiculturalism and human rights. The member for Don Valley West brought to the table fresh and inspiring ideas on the environment. The member for Vaughan helped lead the way with new ideas for shaping sound economic policy and an agenda for growth in Canada.
The Liberal team is just that, a team.

Bill Casey Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley, NS
Mr. Speaker, last week Canada's new government signalled its support for sport in Canada by committing up to $400 million to assist Halifax and area in hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Canada's new government is proud to support Halifax and the province of Nova Scotia in their bid to host these games.
TheMinister for Sport travelled to Halifax for the announcement. He used this opportunity to pledge an additional $738,000 to the Atlantic high performance sports strategy. This amount will be matched by the four Atlantic provincial governments resulting in a total commitment of $1.4 million.
This new strategy aims to increase the number of carded athletes from Atlantic Canada and of top eight performances at the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
These recent announcements further serve as evidence of this government's commitment to the city of Halifax and to all Atlantic Canadians, who are all very grateful.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.

Brian Masse Windsor West, ON
Mr. Speaker, more than 15,000 members of the United Steelworkers Union have been on strike at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. since October 5. Workers at three Canadian plants have walked off the job to protest unfair contract proposals made by the company and the closure of the Goodyear plant in Tyler, Texas.
Goodyear workers vow to hold out one day longer than the company to obtain a fair and equitable contract that provides reasonable job security and a fair deal for retirees. Workers say the recent financial success of Goodyear owes much to the wide-ranging concessions workers made on their 2003 contract negotiations, including 6,000 jobs that were axed across the company and pay cuts for the remaining workers.
If the company gets away with the proposal at the table, it will be bad news for all steelworkers struggling to maintain a decent standard of living in Canada. The union members are also fighting to keep employers like Goodyear from discarding North American production facilities in favour of low wage overseas operations. This issue is one that has wide-ranging implications for the whole North American economy and as such demands our attention.
It is time for the Conservative government to stand up for workers, protect Canadian manufacturing and ensure our jobs are protected for the long term from threats overseas. Canadians demand job security. We must stop exporting jobs and make sure Canadians are manufacturing here.

Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise to congratulate all of the candidates who sought the Liberal leadership at last week's convention. It was a campaign of ideas, a campaign of renewal and a campaign of hope for all Canadians. I know that my colleagues have worked hard on their campaigns and will continue to work hard for constituents and for Canada.
In particular, I would like to congratulate our party's new leader, the member for Saint-Laurent—Cartierville. He has demonstrated commitment and dedication as minister, as a candidate and now as leader. His vision for Canada will resonate from the largest city to the smallest town.
As one who has worked very closely with him, I know his energy, determination and ability to listen are what gained the trust of so many delegates at the convention and will for all Canadians.
International Day of Disabled Persons
Statements By Members
December 4th, 2006 / 2:10 p.m.
Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, December 3 was International Day of Disabled Persons, as proclaimed by the United Nations. This day served as a reminder that we need to further integrate people with disabilities into our social, political and economic lives.
It also served as a reminder of the principles of equality that are far too often ignored. Although the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to education and to work, many people with disabilities are denied both. This day is also an opportunity for us all to take a look at the world and to reflect on the place we reserve for people with disabilities in our society.
We must not stop striving to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities. It is a matter of justice and humanity.
I want to thank, in particular, all the agencies dedicated to helping people with disabilities, and all the volunteers who work daily for their well being.

Mr. Speaker, last week was incredible not just for the Liberal Party of Canada, but also for our country. We discussed our policy directions. We renewed our constitution. We celebrated our fine traditions and our unique history, the next chapter of which our newly elected leader will help us write.
None of this would have been possible without the thousands of delegates and volunteers.
The convention general secretary, Steven MacKinnon, and his team did a brilliant job of organizing the largest delegated convention in Canadian political history. This convention was a great success and we have them to thank for it.
Let us all salute the thousands of Canadians who met in Montreal to help build a more prosperous, just and environmentally sustainable Canada.
Our united party led by the member for Saint-Laurent—Cartierville is ready for an election and ready to win.
Federal Accountability Act

Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, this weekend Liberals returned to the scene of the crime. The names may have changed but absolutely nothing is different.
The most important event that did not happen this weekend was a simple apology to Canadians for violating their trust and stealing their money. Was that too much to ask?
It is clear Liberals do not care for political reform as they could not even get quorum during their party's reform debate.
The unelected Liberal Senate continues to stall the accountability act. It has been through this House six times. When will the member for Saint-Laurent—Cartierville tell his unelected Senate to move forward with the accountability act? More important, one wonders if the Liberal Party and its new leader have any plans to ever be accountable to the people of Canada.
For Liberals, as the old saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the House for the first unanimous ovation I have received in 11 years in Parliament. For my first question to a Prime Minister, I feel I must talk about women's rights.
When the government is posting multi-billion dollar budget surpluses thanks to the previous Liberal government, why on earth is the Prime Minister closing 12 of the 16 Status of Women offices across Canada if it is not to cripple those who dare challenge his government's neo-conservative ideology?

Posted on 11/24/2008 2:17:30 PM PST by St. Louis Conservative
A jury on Monday determined that the Holy Land Foundation and five men who worked with the Muslim charity were guilty of three dozen counts related to the illegal funneling of at least $12 million to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
The unanimous verdicts are a complete victory for the government, which streamlined its case and worked hard to carefully educate jurors on the complex, massive evidence presented in the trial. Guilty verdicts were read on 108 separate charges.
The prosecution victory is also a major one for the lame duck administration of President George Bush, whose efforts at fighting terrorism financing in court have been troubled, even though the flow of funds seems to be effectively shut down.
It was the second trial where the government attempted to convict the men and the now defunct Richardson-based Holy Land Foundation itself. It took the jury eight days of deliberations to reach its decisions less than half the time it took jurors to deadlock end up with an almost complete mistrial last year on the first go-around.
My dad is not a criminal! sobbed one courtroom observer after the verdicts were read. Hes a human!
(Excerpt) Read more at dallasnews.com ...
Outstanding!.... but surprising. A lot of guilty people being set free by stupid juries these days.
Dude/dudette, your dad is a criminal. His humanity is open to question, however.
Let's see how much time is actually served.
Oh this is good news right about when we needed good news.
Sometimes justice prevails.
Verdict reached in Muslim charityâs second trial
Las Vegas Sun | Nov 24, 2008 | ap
Posted on 11/24/2008 1:08:18 PM PST by mdittmar
Unless Bush pardons Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Campion at the 11th hour, expect these terrorist funders to be pardoned before the guys who were protecing *your* kids and/or grandkids aginst drug smugglers.
When will they begin killing the jurors.
News flash: The two are not exclusive. Have fun visiting daddy in prison, hope you join him in jail when they catch you being a conduit for him trying to continue his criminal activities.
True, kid. He's a terrorist. And if we had any sense of self-preservation as a society, not to mention, any stones, we'd have simply given him a drumhead court-martial and shot him some rosy dawn.
These creeps still want to force-feed us Sharia: a legal code with no speech, religion, or women's rights. I say, if you want Sharia, go to jail or go home.
Criminal Number 18F
Now Americans should demand these criminal terrorist charties and there supporters be thrown out of the United States!
I believe this is the case where the jury in the first trial was hung because it was infiltrated with a Palestinian activist nutcase, that spent the deliberation period engaging in anti Israel rants and browbeating the other jurors.
Ping! Ping! Ping a few Texans !! :)
Shut up. Please.
I'm so tired of the whiny, bitter, sarcastic slapshots on Free Republic.
We need a place of reason and sanity, a place where we can discuss issues with thought and intelligence, especially given the challenge we face as Obama takes office.
This is not a perfect world, never will be. There's plenty to criticize. But to suggest that President Bush is on the side of terrorists is just over the top.
Another thing to be Thankful for this week: that downtown Dallas didn't get blown up during either trial. I was seriously concerned that something would happen.
Work on your reading comprehension please.
I was not suggesting Bush would pardon the terrorists, I was suggesting that unless Bush pardoned the BP agents, which is a distinct possibility, Obama most certainly would not, but might very well pardon the Hamas fundraisers.
Bush will not have a chance to pardon these guys because the appeals process will barely be started. Oh he could, but he wouldn't even consider it, no matter what the offense and by whom.
Sorry. And thank you for remaining civil when I barely was.
This is a trying time, and nerves are raw. Mea culpa.
Frankly, I hope Bush pardons not only the BP agents, but also everyone in his administration that Pelosi and crew may want to destroy post-January. Cheney and himself included. Can that be done?

SOFTBALL: With big win, Lady Eagles move to 3-1 in Region 5; One-hit win for Lady Dragons
One big inning led to one big win.
Youngsville scored 10 sixth-inning runs, erasing a 5-0 deficit and holding on a for a huge 10-9 victory over talented Iroquois Thursday at Youngsville High School.
"We're ready to get back out there already," said Youngsville coach Ron Jameson. "A win like this has us feeling like we can play with anybody. We're 3-1 in the region now and that's big. I'm just very proud of these girls."
Things didn't appear to be going the Eagles' way as the Braves built a 5-0 lead through five and a half innings.
All that changed in the blink of an eye.
The bottom of the sixth started innocently enough with Kennedy Cratty and Elyssa Horn working walks to start the inning. Jessica Jameson then got Youngsville on the board with an RBI single and Katie Gustafson worked a walk to load the bases.
The hits kept on coming.
Karissa Cratty and Haley Gray hit back-to-back singles and Julia Sveda ripped a liner off the pitcher to score Gustafson and cut the margin to 5-4. Kelsey Anderson tied the game with an RBI single and Kennedy Cratty put Youngsville up with a two-run double.
Before the inning was over, Anderson had scored on a passed ball, Jameson had her second RBI hit of the frame and Gustafson hit a run-scoring sacrifice fly.
Now leading 10-5, the Lady Eagles had to sweat things out in the final inning. The Braves scored four runs to get within one and had the tying run on second when Anderson made a game-saving play at first base. Anderson knocked down a screaming liner down the first-base line and touched first for the final out to preserve the victory.
Kennedy Cratty was 3-for-3 with two runs and two RBI and Gray and Jameson also rapped two hits apiece.
Youngsville (3-4, 3-1) returns to action Monday when they visit Eisenhower.

Warren 13, Mercyhurst Prep 0
ERIE – Warren won its third straight game in dominant fashion Thursday afternoon, improving to 8-1 overall and 7-1 in Region 7 with a 13-0 win over Mercyhurst Prep. The Lady Dragons nearly picked up their third straight no-hitter courtesy of Alexa Bupp, who allowed one hit in six inning of work, while striking out 12 Lakers' batters.
"I'm proud of our kids," said Warren coach Mark Bupp. "It took us a while to get things going, making our third trip to Erie in four days. We got some runs on the board in the third and fourth inning and the girls were able to build on that."
Already holding a 5-0 lead, the Warren bats exploded for eight runs in the top of the sixth. Jaimie Eaton hit a one-out single to set up Bupp, who connected on her fourth home run of the season to make it a seven run lead.
With two down in the inning, Taylor Mineweaser singled home Meghan Loutzenhiser and courtesy runner Alexis Munksgard – running for catcher Paige Wilson – before Kathryn Lobdell notched her second triple of the game and scored on a Mercyhurst Prep error.
Kennedy Walter, Kaitlin Ishman, and Eaton all singled to load the bases again, and Bupp cashed in two more for the Lady Dragons before the Lakers threw out Eaton at third to stop the bleeding.
Bupp finished the game going 4-for-5 with four runs batted in, Ishman was 3-for-4, Eaton 3-for-5, Lobdell 3-for-4, and Mineweaser 2-for-3 with three RBI in addition to playing a "great defensive game" at third base.
The Lady Dragons will look to stay in the win column on Monday, when they welcome Corry for a non-region game at Hawbaker Field at the Farm Colony in North Warren.

Titusville 18, Ike 6
Titusville's powerful offensive attack was too much for Eisenhower to overcome Thursday as the Rockets handed the Knights an 18-6 setback at Eisenhower High School.
The Rockets struck for four runs in each of the first two innings and delivered a knockout blow in the fourth with an eight-run inning. That outburst came with the game still in question and the Knights trailing just 8-5.
Until that fourth inning, Eisenhower was doing its best to slug it out with the Rockets. The bat of Emily McJunkin was a big reason for that. McJunkin knocked in two runs in the second inning with a double and plated two more in the third on an RBI triple. Also in the third, Natasha Morrison brought home a run.
The Knights last run came in the fifth inning when Kristen Wagner delivered an RBI groundout.
McJunkin finished the game with two hits and a team-high four RBI. Ashley Barnett also had two hits in the loss.
Eisenhower (1-6) will try to up its win total Friday when it welcomes Sheffield to Eisenhower High School.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Tuesdays With Rita: The Dalles
This picture was in the box with my Grandma Jennie's old photos. None of the other family wanted them so they came my way. They are a different style than most of the family photos and could almost be postcards. The first one has "old Navy yard" written on the back.
I was pretty sure the people were my Martin family. They moved around a lot. I have them in Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Kansas and Oregon.
Long before the Internet I started looking for similar places by digging through
postcards at antique stores. I did find a few places that seemed possible.
Then it was suggested it could be the Columbia River and when I could compare scenes on the Internet I finally felt confident these were taken along that mighty river.
The Martins were obviously adventurous but I think this is pushing it way to far.
I've crossed the Columbia a few times. It is amazing. These photos were apparently taken in the area called The Dalles. I haven't been there but it doesn't look like it is too far from my daughter's. I will be at her house for three weeks. Perhaps we can make a drive down. Perhaps we'll do it another time.
I do hope to walk in my ancestors' footsteps one day. (But not the ones on the cliffs!!!)
Have you made trips to find your ancestors? What did you learn about them and perhaps yourself?

Oh Rita-I adore these photos!! Especially the last one!ReplyDelete
Hmm-Much of my family history is in the Pacific North West. I just received a photo of the U of W graduating class of 1915 the graduating class of my grandmother. I have see quite a bit of the Columbia River, but none before the damming. I suspect that is the crucial difference. I just read a good book set in Eastern WA in the early 1900s titled The Daughter's Walk at the end of the book they were selling property in Coulee City for the Coulee Dam...ReplyDelete
It is nice to have old pictures to bring back family history. Theses are very interesting.ReplyDelete
Rita, the last picture reminds me of the Wisconsin Dells - I will send you a picture that looks very similar. It might help narrow your search! SueReplyDelete
