Perhaps that's just me, but if a lot more people should have the same problem, you should either choose better known songs or grant us an extension of the deadline.

Steering Dogfish Head Alehouse into marketing's fast lane
ROCKVILLE, MD - (Nov. 5, 2013) - Like many teenagers who worked in restaurants, Sam Petrella didn't think much of his stints as a server or line cook. Those were jobs, not the beginning of a career in the multibillion dollar restaurant industry.
Then Petrella enrolled in UMES' Hotel and Restaurant Management program at the Universities at Shady Grove in Montgomery County, embarking on a journey that landed him in the driver's seat of a local restaurant's head-turning "AleBus" venture.
"I'm indebted to UMES and USG for the opportunity this has given me," Petrella said. "Everything we did in the classroom was real life. The fact it worked out for me the way it did is something I am thankful for. It's turned out to be great story."
His story starts with a senior-year project. The assignment presented him with a challenge to develop a marketing plan for a restaurateur seeking a way to grow his business, Dogfish Head Alehouse, without investing in bricks and mortar. If "Dogfish Head" sounds familiar, it's because the Washington-area restaurant owners have a license agreement with the Milton, Del. brewery of the same name.
With two classmates, Petrella researched the restaurant's business philosophy to understand its goals and to develop a proposal they would present to a panel of judges recruited by USG.
"This program asks for more than good grades," Petrella said. "We had to prove that we were ready and able for some real-life application."
His proposal, which built on Dogfish Head Alehouse's unfulfilled vision of combining a food truck with a bold dollop of tourism, scored him high marks with judges.
Shortly after receiving his degree in 2012, a call came from Dogfish Head Alehouse with a job offer. The company hired Petrella, 25, to serve as a restaurant manager and a full-time contractor to launch the Dogfish Head AleBus.
"We're taking the Dogfish brand mobile," Petrella said.
It took three months to find a bus (retired from the District of Columbia schools' fleet), retrofit it and develop the business model. Petrella also earned a Commercial Driver License to drive it for events he books.
"Sam's experience and knowledge, gleaned from the UMES program, combined with his business skills and entrepreneurial passion allowed him to spearhead the bus project successfully," said Joe Hospital, an owner of Dogfish Head Alehouse.
"Sam took an idea that didn't have any model -- there's no precedent for what he was doing – and built the bus out of our and his imagination," Hospital said. "He has done a great job in making this a great, viable business enterprise."
Experienced faculty and industry experts prepare UMES students like Petrella for careers in lodging, restaurant, travel, attractions, meeting and convention and food service industries.
UMES' HRM students aspire to move up the ranks of major companies while others have plans for entrepreneurial ventures, according to Susan Callahan, chef and a USG faculty member.
"Our challenge … is to help students figure out what they want to do and groom them with the skills and provide the experiences that will help them reach their goals," Callahan said. "That's the beauty of our program. Because of our size and structure, we get to know our students … and we can identify what they need to succeed."
The bright green AleBus' exterior conjures up memories of iconic woody wagons made popular by the California surfing culture of the 1950s and 1960s. Inside, the interior resembles the three Washington-area restaurants with seating for up to 16 people.
With Petrella behind the wheel, the bus visits festivals and football game tailgating events and even takes patrons on field trips to the brewery in eastern Sussex County. Customers who book the bus are picked up and dropped off at their homes.
"It's non-negotiable. We're very safety oriented," Petrella said. "It's about responsible beer appreciation."
The marketing novelty caught the eye of The Washington Post, which assigned a reporter to interview Petrella for an article.
Throughout his experience at USG, Petrella said he gained a rich understanding of the complexities of owning a business and what takes to succeed with his long-term plans to open his own restaurant.
"In the restaurant industry, you have to be a paralegal, an accountant and a chef, which all are three things that I didn't think I was going to be doing," he said. "On top of that, you have to manage the day-to-day of a restaurant. It demands a lot, but I know that's what I want to do."

Does anyone have any experience with this variety? I bought a couple of ounces from one supplier and found it to have a very strong, smoky flavor. This was odd to me at first, but I started to enjoy it after a couple of cups. When I did more research on dragonwell, I discovered that "smoky" is not a common flavor associated with this particular kind of tea. I then found that a local tea shop served it and tried it. I found this cup to have a subtle barley flavor to it. Not smoky at all. Still confused, I ventured into Chinatown and bought two different grades of dragonwell from Ten Ren Tea. The highest grade tasted even different from the previous kinds. This one tasted very similiar to the Silver Needles white tea I had purchased about a month earlier.
Now, I know that teas of the same variety have subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences in taste, but the smoky flavor has me really scratching my head. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Diagnosis of eye vessels occlusion and treatment with conservative treatment (program ID: 244469)
Carsten Framme
Department of Ophthalmology
Specialized in: ophthalmology
Department of Ophthalmology has changed significantly in recent years. Using the latest technology, the clinic is able to collect research results and to compare them during treatment. The eyes photos are taken by a small, skilled and experienced team and provided to the clinic physicians in digital form. Thus, based on the new results, the physician can not the minor changes and interpret them. The optical coherence technology is contactless imaging technology which, on the basis of different time of the laser beam penetration, allows probing and visualizing the structures located one behind the other. This principle is similar to the technology of ultrasound, but with a significantly higher resolution for the main layers in ophthalmology. The recent analyzing apparatuses, in accordance with the spectral domain standard, thereby allows making more accurate images, in order to identify the eventual lesions more accurately.
The clinic is ready to serve the patients round the clock in emergency ophthalmological situations. In less serious cases, the clinic uses the services of emergency medical service of the health insurance fund. When required, it issues a referral to the clinic. Needless to say, in the case of accidents, eye injury, acute vision loss and in situations perceived by the patient as acute and threatening, the clinic, certainly, is available to patients.

The 2013 USA Boxing National Championships Move into Day Two of Olympic Style Boxing Action in Spokane
(SPOKANE, WASH.) – The 2013 USA Boxing National Championships rolled into the second day of competition on Tuesday as participants and fans alike began to acclimate to all the rule changes being made in the sport. Once again, two rings of action filled the HUB Sports Center in Spokane, Wash., with all of the competitors boxing to advance in their individual divisions and weight classes.
Twenty-seven preliminary round contests highlighted afternoon action with boxers competing in the youth males' lightweight and senior men's welterweight division alongside elite men's bouts in the lightweight, middleweight and light heavyweight classes. The jam-packed youth males' division took the ring for the second straight day with 12 bouts of preliminary round action and once again, the competition was hotly contested. Reigning Junior Olympic national champion Christian Bermudez (Brooklyn, N.Y.) fell to Gary Antwuan Russell (Capitol Heights, Md.) in their preliminary round match-up. The following bout ended quickly with Genaro Gamez (San Diego, Calif.) taking a knockout victory at the 2:40 mark of the first round of their showdown. Gamez and Russell will face off for a spot in the medal round on Wednesday.
In senior men's welterweight action, Reyes Marquez (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and DeLorien Caraway (St. Paul, Minn.) each enjoyed short outings in their preliminary match-ups. Marquez won a TKO victory in the second round of his contest with Nicholas Carrico (San Diego, Calif.), taking the win with one minute remaining in the second round. Caraway needed less than two minutes to put an end to his bout with Robel Biru (Seattle, Wash.). Caraway's first round knockout advanced him on to a semifinal contest with Marquez.
The men's elite lightweight division controlled the first seven bouts of the afternoon in the second ring with all of the competitors vying for spots in the quarterfinal round. Charles Vasquez Vera (New Port Richey, Fla.) pulled an early upset, defeating the number two seed in the lightweight division, Luis Feliciano (Milwaukee, Fla.). Vasquez Vera won a unanimous decision over Vera to advance to Thursday's competition.
Middleweight Daniel Thomas (Concord, Calif.) earned a knockout victory over Berlin Kerney (El Cajon, Calif.) in their elite men's preliminary contest, winning the bout at the 1:13 mark of the first round to advance on to the next round.
The first female bouts of the tournament opened competition in the evening session with elite female featherweights taking the ring for the first two contests. Haley Pasion (Aiea, Hawaii) claimed the first win, taking a split decision victory over U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Women's Boxing competitor Taversha Norwood (Oxnard, Calif.).
Men's elite welterweight Rashidi Ellis (Lynn, Mass.) competed in his first bout at the USA Boxing National Championships Tuesday night following a silver medal at the Independence Cup in the Dominican Republic earlier this year. He faced off with the towering Ivan Pandzic (Ontario, Calif.) in the seventh welterweight bout of the night. Ellis used his aggression to find his range and landed powerful shots against his taller opponent. His efforts paid off as Ellis won a third round TKO over Pandzic to move on to Thursday's quarterfinals.
The senior men's division controlled the opposite ring in evening action with matches in the bantamweight, light welterweight, heavyweight and super heavyweight classes being contested in the second session. Thirteen senior men's boxers advanced on in the tournament including U.S. Army athletes Marquis Moore (Fort Carson, Colo.) and Marvin Carey (Colorado Springs, Colo.).
The elite men's division will enjoy a rest day on Wednesday with elite women in the light flyweight, bantamweight, lightweight, and welterweight classes taking the ring in quarterfinal action tomorrow. The youth males will compete in quarterfinal action on Thursday as well. Wednesday's sessions will begin at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the HUB Sports Center.
The 2013 USA Boxing National Championships can be viewed via live stream on the USA Boxing website. The full tournament can be purchased for $29.95 or $9.95 daily on the watch live tab on USA Boxing's website,www.usaboxing.org.

Product is well-sized, fits perfectly and looks far better than the flaking rear deck it is covering. However - the picture of the item gives the impression that there are speaker cutouts, which there are not. I cut my own speaker holes otherwise the sound is completely muffled. Also note the product does not come with nearly enough Velcro so I recommend having extra available for a nice tight fit.

Wine Tasting for the Animals
Join us in a wonderful rustic atmosphere with animal viewing while taste testing many different wines and beers. This fun event is held in the Bismarck Tribune Discovery Center with all proceeds going to help support the wild residents of Dakota Zoo. Tickets are $30 for Dakota Zoo Members and $35 for non-members. They can be purchased at the admission window, online or by calling (701) 223-7543. There is a limited number of tickets available so purchase your tickets early. Be sure to check the Schedule of Events for dates and times.
This wine tasting began as an event that was truly "For the Birds." Because of the generous support of folks like you, our raptor rehabilitation program has assisted numerous eagles, hawks, falcons and owls, resulting in many of them being released back into the wild. As this event has grown more popular, we have expanded it to benefit all of the animals at Dakota Zoo.
With more than 600 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects to feed, birds are only a small part of what we do at the Dakota Zoo. Our "grocery bill" totals more than $70,000 a year--what a shopping list! While you are enjoying tonight's delightful selection of gourmet comestibles, courtesy of Bismarck's finest restaurants, here are a few facts and figures about what some of your "wilder" dining companions are having.
Did you know?
That an adult moose consumes over $4000 worth of delicious, nutritious moose chow in a single year.
That each of our fast-growing tigers needs 10 pounds of specially mixed ground beef every day. That's a $10,000 yearly dinner tab for our three big cats.
That one full grown grizzly bear can easily polish off 60 pounds of grapes (their favorites), apples, dog chow, meat, pears, squash, watermelon, bread & lettuce per day. That's $1100 per bear per year. Thank goodness much of our produce is generously donated by Dan's Supermarket.
That monkeys eat primarily Monkey Chow, with a smattering of fruits and vegetables thrown in for variety. This specialty diet costs up to $350 per monkey, per year, and we have plenty of primates!
That tarantulas, scorpions, snakes and lizards prefer to nosh on live farm raised crickets. We serve up about $750 worth of the little critters each year.
That our dedicated staff of Zookeepers are always seeking ways to enrich our animals lives by changing the configuration of perches and other exhibit features, adding bongo balls or other enrichment toys to their environments and by presenting them with challenging opportunities such as the opportunity to figure out a puzzle feeder to obtain their favorite treats, in addition to their normal diet.
Proceeds from this event will help us to continue to provide delectable diets for our residents throughout the year. We thank you for attending our annual wine tasting and for your generous support of the Dakota Zoo and its animal inhabitants!

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by saratoga Sportcoat that falls nicely The fabric feels terrific, the cut is sophisticated. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CharlesZ Quality and service I received my micro-fiber blazer yesterday- the fit was perfect, but I noticed a small tear in the right sleeve. I immediately called customer service to explain the problem and the fact that we leave on an overseas trip Thursday. They told me that I would have a replacement the next day, which I highly doubted. Much to my surprise, it did arrive today. This is unbelievable customer service! Incidentally, this is my second micro-fiber blazer from Travel Smith, and It is my go-to blazer for traveling- it has been scrunched up in many ways, and always comes out looking perfect. I highly recommend both this blazer, Travel Smith and their products. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rrachlin Surprisingly Nice Having just received the jacket, I can't comment on its resistance to wrinkles. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it looks, despite its microfiber composition. The multiple pockets and zippers make it an ideal garment for use in business travel. The only reservation I have: the buttons with "Travelsmith" on them. While the brand name is visible only if someone is closer than they have any right to be, it strikes me as just slightly tacky to emblazon the brand name on the buttons. Yes, I can remove and replace them. But with buttons on the front and the sleeves, it's probably not worth the effort,. That trifle aside, I look forward to wearing the jacket on my next out-of-town trip and hope that it lives up to its reputation for wrinkle-resistance when I remove it from my carryon. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by seamrog Exchange for too large turns out perfect Having lost weight after surgery the size 40 I had not yet worn turned out way too large. Efficient, speedy, no questions, exchange derive could be enough itself to keep me with Travel Smith. BUT, the size 38 (my old size of decades ago, fits as if it were made for me; trim with no binding, outstanding fabric quality and grand look. Could not be happier. October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave725 Pickpockets of Italy vs. Travelsmith I recently returned from a trip to Italy (Naples and Rome), where unfortunately I had my Velcro closing cargo pants pocket picked at the Rome train station. This taught me that Velcro pockets aren't safe, but zippered pockets (like found on this sport coat and other Travelsmith pants and coats) are! Luckily, I lost no money (except for my train pass) and got my passport back, and my zippered Travelsmith coat kept me secure for the rest of the trip. Additionally, they are comfortable, durable, wrinkle resistant, priced well and good looking. I highly recommend them. January 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grotye Needed it fast for a cruise! Wasn't sure it would get here in time, but it arrived and I'm so impressed with the quality! Perfect for dressier dinners and very easy to pack and it doesn't show any wrinkles. Great! September 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CJGDarien World-Class Microfiber Sport Coat - Classy! A very nice jacket. My husband was measured as a 46, purchased the 44, and had to return it for the 46. True to size! February 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MomintheSouth Excellent Travel Blazer I bought this for my husband thinking he might use it on an upcoming trip but then he had to go out east for a conference and at the last minute threw it into the suitcase. Nary a wrinkle when we arrived and he loved it. Looks great, hangs beautifully, and the secure pockets inside were perfect. I might get one for my son-in-law now. You won't be disappointed. It does seem to be true to size. He normally wears a 42R and this fit perfectly. April 16, 2016

Skip to comments.Uproar as Justin Trudeau hurls four-letter obscenity at Peter Kent in House of Commons
Posted on 12/14/2011 3:32:45 PM PST by canuck_conservative
OTTAWA Justin Trudeau caused uproar in the House of Commons today after he called Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent a piece of s--- during a heated question time debate over the Kyoto Protocol.
The Liberal MP for Papineau immediately apologized, admitting he lost his cool after Kent questioned why NDP environment critic Megan Leslie had not attended last weeks climate change summit in South Africa.
Canada officially withdrew from the Kyoto accord on Monday, drawing pointed criticism from overseas signatories to the pact.
Trudeau became incensed after Kent suggested that Leslie should have been in Durban for the UN meeting, despite the minister banning all non-government MPs from Canadas official delegation.
In questioning Kent, Leslie suggested Canada was abandoning Kyoto to hide the Conservative governments failure to cut greenhouse gas emissions....
(Excerpt) Read more at news.nationalpost.com ...
I guess they're still feeling frustrated over the fact that the Conservatives, with a fresh new majority, can do whatever they want, and there's not a damn thing the Liberals can do to stop it. Plus, the more frustrated they get, the more they turn off the public and boost Conservative support!
This is so hilarious!!
Exploding Liberal heads ping ....
Nothing but a fool riding on his dad's name.
Just a preview of the "civil discourse" coming to you from the Democratic minority in both houses in 2013.
NOW that is hilarious.
Enviro-wackos are having a full blown meltdown. :-)
Um, during most of the period in which Kyoto was supposedly in force in Canada, were the conservatives in charge? Gosh, wasn't it the left??? So now, only a short period after the Canadian people came to their senses and put the conservatives in charge, now it's all their fault?
This from a substitute drama teacher known to all as the Silky Pony !?
Lil` Justine spends more time on his hair than John Edwards ever did !
Tory ?
This MP Leslie is simply a marxist propagandist.
She actively fought against the Kesystone pipeline at the same time her Province of Nova Scotia gleefully accepts dity oil money in the form of transfer payments from, wait for it, ALBERTA !
This marxist buffoon thinks we are all stupid and don`t know the treaty ,wait for it, EXPIRES NEXT YEAR ! ( article 3... commitment period 2008 to 2012 )
This dangerous marxist seems to think no one knows countries are allowed to withdraw ( article 27 ... may withdraw from this Protocol by giving written notification to the Depositary ) and it doesn`t take effect for one year ( Any such withdrawal shall take effect upon expiry of one year from the date of receipt by the Depositary of the notification of withdrawal, or on such later date as may be specified in the notification of withdrawal). Which means Canada is simply leaving a few months early before expiration date and save about 14 Billion dollars due to the agreement forcing countries to buy credits.
Liberals remain children no matter what office they reach.
I remember Justin when he was a baby........I lived in Logan Lake, just outside Kamloops back in the day, lived in Canada from '71 to '78, Margaret was always in the news back then -
Fuddle duddle
Was he cheered or jeered by his fellow myrmidons?...
Obscenities, eh? Let me guess. Trudeau is a member of the Liberal Party.
That crapweasel Trudeau should be expelled from the House of Commons.
If there's no such mechanism, his resulting sudden violent death might motivate the changes in law that make expulsion possible.
Thanks canuck_conservative.
Libs... always with the nice manners.
Ah, those famously polite Canadians...
Look at him.
Michael Coren said the same thing this past weekend. (Link below).
Justin wouldn't be in the HoC of he wasn't a Trudeau. We all know that.

Just another waterhole.
Thanks for the ping.
I still say he definately looks like a musketeer in a suit.lol
John Ivison @IvisonJ
D'Artagnan-lookalike Justin Trudeau is going to get a caning for that outburst. Perhaps he could claim he said: "Shi'ite militia."
We should bring back duels!
Nothing but a fool riding on his dads name.
Wearing the face gear of a Arab Sheik.
Both this little marxist POS's parents were communists, though people now claim that they were only long-distance liberals.
They loved Castro when his forces were killing Angolans and bringing AIDS back to Cuba. They loved Che'.
As for the little turd, to paraphrase myself, "Who gives a shit?"
The father was such a fool that it was difficult to believe the son could be even worse, but.....
Yeah, maybe the Queen Herself (or the Governor-General) should burst into the chamber with soldiers and order his arrest, just like Charles I...
You don't know merde? :)
and during PM Trudeau'sadministration, his wife, Margaret, was being schtupped by Mick Jagger.
and the National Lampoon did a piece on him called "The Frog Prince: A Canadian Fairy Tale, a comic featuing Pierre Trudeau"
perhaps Justin is really Justin Jagger??
Typical liberal, enviro-nut reaction when forced to see the absurdity of their own, baseless positions.
It was a typo ... I typed it phonetically. Oh, fuddle duddle.

Hospital nursing units in the USA: government ownership, Magnet designation, unit population age group and higher skill mix are associated with lower nursing turnover

Commentary on: Staggs VS, Dunton N. Hospital and unit characteristics associated with nursing turnover include skill mix but not staffing level: an observational cross-sectional study. Int J Nurs Stud 2012;49:1138–45.
Implications for practice and research
Registered nurse (RN) and total nurse turnover are the organisational variables that should be measured and tracked routinely.
Working in highly specialised areas is associated with lower turnover, therefore future research should explore characteristics of these areas and how they may be applied to less specialised areas of nursing practice.
Future studies should explore determinants of low turnover in government hospitals.
Replacing nurse vacancies in hospitals is a substantial expense and hospitals are wise to explore strategies that minimise nursing turnover. The US hospitals that attracted and retained a high-quality RN workforce despite severe nursing shortages in the early 1980s were termed 'magnet hospitals'. Magnet hospital certification by the American Nurses …

Athletes confirmed for USA Field Hockey's Women's National Championship
108 athletes have been selected to compete for a spot on the U.S. Women's Team roster
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – May 16, 2013 - There are 525,600
minutes opportunities in a year. And as a Women's National Championship athlete none of them are spent standing static.
These competitors log countless hours alone in a gym perfecting their hang cleans. They prove bleachers aren't just for sitting as they ascend the steps cranking out high-tempo sprints in 85 degree heat. For years they have hit the pavement and backboard solo in their off-hours without the need of applause. The weather doesn't matter. The weekends don't deter. Women's National Championship athletes see each of those 525,600 minutes as a chance to move an inch closer to wearing a U.S. National Team uniform, an international medal around their neck and the distinct pride of representing their country as they compete to earn a spot on Team USA. Those 525,600 opportunities are spent waiting for one moment - this moment.
The 108 athletes participating in the 2013 Women's National Championship in Norfolk, Va., May 23-29, have been confirmed. Some of the best field hockey players in the nation will compete for the title of regional champions, but far more importantly contend for a spot on the U.S. Women's National Team roster. Head coach Craig Parnham will be evaluating matches and selecting outstanding players from the pool of participants to represent Team USA on the international stage.
"The Women's National Championship is the first opportunity for me to see all of the players in one place and that is really quite exciting," said Parnham. "It is very important for me to have a good look at every player at the tournament."
So what does it take to stand out amongst 100 other eager, fit and skilled field hockey players? And what are the odds of making the cut?
"Delivery under pressure, physical robustness, tactical awareness, a selfless attitude and willingness to grow and develop," are among the qualities Parnham said he will be keeping a close watch on.
Twenty-four is the number Parnham is working with. That means less than 25 percent of the players competing will gain selection to the U.S. National Team. Players will learn their fate of inclusion or exclusion on Team USA via an email from Parnham roughly 48-72 hours following the conclusion of the tournament. In addition to the 24 senior athletes selected, Parnham will also announce a development squad.
Parnham says he will not be making the heavy decision alone.
"I will be meeting with the coaches on a daily basis and having healthy discussions around players and selections," said Parnham. "A lot of collaborative discussions throughout the week will ensure we create the best team moving forward."
525,600 minutes

Scope of Self-Help
Learn about who you are and are not able to represent.
The courts provide the information and forms on these web pages free of charge to any member of the public. Once completed, the forms are suitable for filing. There is often a fee for filing pleadings and other papers, but there is not an additional fee for filing these "fill-in-the-blank" forms. There is an additional fee for filing a document prepared with the Online Court Assistance Program (OCAP).
Buyer beware! (Caveat emptor!) Some websites offer forms that might be legally sufficient in the Utah courts, but they might be rejected by the judge. And you may have to pay a fee for the forms. Before using forms from another website, check this website to see whether a free, court-approved form is available. If not, you might want to consider hiring a Utah lawyer (utahbar.org) to prepare documents for you rather than paying for a form that might be rejected.
The courts are working to expand the information and forms available, but we do not have information and forms on every topic.
Online Court Assistance Program
The Utah Online Court Assistance Program (OCAP) is the official State of Utah website for assistance in preparing court documents if you are not able to have an attorney draft them for you. Documents can be prepared for divorce, landlord tenant, guardianship of a minor, protective orders, as well as other select cases.

Later this year the era of mainstream general purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) will finally begin with the release of DirectX 11 compute shaders as well as OpenCL application programming interfaces (APIs). In the computer graphics world DirectX is by far more popular than OpenGL due to many reasons. But what will happen with the GPGPU implementations and which API will be the more popular?
According to Neil Trevett, the president of the Khronos Group and a vice president at Nvidia Corp., OpenCL has numerous advantages over DirectX compute shaders. In particular, traditionally OpenGL, and now OpenCL, enabled pretty close access to the silicon capability of graphics processors, which potentially means higher performance. Moreover, OpenCL does not require usage of OpenGL and its compatibility is not limited to Windows operating system.
"It is interesting to compare and contrast DirectX compute shaders with OpenCL. The approach we've taken with OpenCL is that you don't have to use OpenCL with OpenGL obviously if you were using compute in a visual application. […] OpenCL is a very robust compute solution rather than compute within the context of the graphics pipeline, which is more the approach that DirectX 11 compute shaders have taken," said Mr. Trevett in an interview with Tech Report web-site.
Mr. Trevett claims that DirectX compute shaders are generally "super shaders" that are still a part of the graphics pipeline. As a result, those are more difficult to use, claims the head of competing API developer.
"OpenCL is a standalone, complete compute solution you can use for protein folding and particle analysis never touching the pixel, and you have the option of inter-opping it very closely with OpenGL, so you can use it for image processing and feeding into and feeding out of the OpenCL pipeline. The approach that DirectX 11 Compute takes is 'super shaders', which are like general-purpose C shaders. But those shaders exist within the context of the DX graphics pipeline, so it's intended to soup up your graphics applications but you'd probably find it more difficult to write, you know, a general-purpose animation package," claimed Mr. Trevett.
It is interesting to note that Microsoft Corp. claims that compute shaders – a new programmable shader stage in DirectX 11 – is independent of the graphics pipeline.

Every solar project that rises from an industrial wasteland is one that won't be built on pristine land.or disturbed by previous industrial activity — into green energy facilities. Among the successfully completed brown-to-green projects are a wind farm at the former Bethlehem Steel Mill in Lackawanna, New York; a concentrating solar photovoltaic array on the tailings pile of a former molybdenum mine in Questa, New Mexico; solar panels powering the cleanup systems at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Superfund site in northern California; and the U.S. Army's largest solar array atop a former landfill in Fort Carson, Colorado.
One of the most attractive aspects of brownfield sites is the existence of infrastructure.to solar and wind power installations. Gail Mosey, with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, has helped conduct assessments of several such locations, including the Stringfellow site in Riverside County in Southern California. Stringfellow was a hazardous waste dumping ground until 1972, with more than 34 million gallons of liquid industrial waste ending up on the site. Mosey said that this type of site, where cleanup is ongoing, is an ideal candidate for a renewable energy project.
'People realize that there is not a lot else that you can put on a property that's in this condition,' said one expert.Corporation, which is responsible for revitalizing the shipyard, said that the history of contamination at the solar site is not among the greatest challenges. The solar array will be built so that the cap on the landfill is not disturbed; Agate said the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection made sure the project wouldn't compromise the state of the site.

Form and Substance: Designer Faye Toogood's Poetic Objects
James Crump, chief curator of the Cincinnati Art Museum, first took notice of a Matthew Brandt photograph at this year's Armory Show in New York City. The 72-by-105-inch print — of a lake in California — at Yossi Milo's booth drew him from across the room, Crump recalls, "like a magnetic field pulling you." (Cincinnati has since acquired two pieces for its permanent collection.)
Brandt's work can have that effect. For the past four years, the Los Angeles artist has been experimenting in photography with wondrous results. For his ongoing "Lakes and Reservoirs" series, Brandt shoots Western landscapes, then, back home in the darkroom, soaks the prints in water he has collected from those same lakes. The longer the bath — anywhere from a few days to months — the more abstract and ephemeral the outcome. Some images look relatively unaffected except for a vivid red tint or acid-yellow trees; others have painterly streaks, psychedelic swirls, and jigsaw-puzzle burnouts. A few twinkle like a meteor shower. "There are sediments in some water that can cause a sparkle effect as the c-print starts to break up," Brandt explains. "I love when that happens — I cross my fingers."
No wonder the art world is paying attention to this young talent: His unorthodox, leave-it-to-chance approach is a refreshing antidote to the perfection, and ubiquity, of large-scale digital color prints — and a harbinger of photography's next, more exploratory chapter. "Matthew's work comes at a time when so much of photography is more about stage — those spectacular, large, slick, bulletproof works of art," says Crump.
Brandt literally grew up in the medium. His father, a commercial photographer, took him to photo shoots as a child, and Brandt was assisting him in the studio by the time he was nine. But when he left L.A. for New York, to attend Cooper Union, he was more interested in painting. Then Brandt started bringing some of his photographs to sculpture class and liked the way they were critiqued — conceptually, he remembers, rather than by the formal rules of photography — even if what he was making at the time "wasn't going anywhere," he says. "It was just going under the bed."

(609) 278-7137
TRENTON, N.J. - Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes is reminding residents today to take precautions against severe cold expected to grip the region this week.
"The first week of 2010 has proven to be a frigid one, and temperatures below freezing are expected the rest of the week," said Hughes. "It is imperative that people take the necessary steps to stay warm and to check up on friends and loved ones who may be more sensitive to the bitter cold."
A cold front moving in this week is expected to bring in temperatures in the low 20s and some snow, according to the National Weather Service. For emergencies related to the cold weather, Mercer County residents should call 911 immediately. Residents should avoid being outside for extended amounts of time if possible.
Hughes said people should check on children, elderly neighbors, family members, or any potentially at-risk individuals often to make certain they have functioning heating systems in their homes and cars. Also, it is crucial that anyone going outside, even for a brief time, dress warmly in layers, Hughes said.
It is recommended that residences maintain a temperature of approximately 68 degrees and that portable gas or propane heaters, which can be fire hazards, be used only in emergency situations. Residents should visit the National Institute on Aging website to learn how to recognize the symptoms of hypothermia:
County residents who meet income eligibility requirements may also qualify for heating assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Residents who qualify can sign up for assistance anytime through March 31, and those who are 60 or over or disabled can receive applications by mail. To find out more information, Mercer County residents can call the Division of Housing at (609) 989-6959, or visit www.energyassistance.nj.gov.
Tenants or homeowners with heating issues are urged to call their landlord or public utility provider for assistance. Information about utility companies and service maps is available on the state Board of Public Utility Web site at www.nj.gov/bpu/home/custAssistance.shtml.
"I encourage anyone who has inadequate heating to contact the utility provider or to find out if he or she is eligible for LIHEAP assistance as soon as possible," Hughes said.
Mercer County also designates several locations as warming sites, where people can escape the cold. Those include municipal senior centers, neighborhood community centers and the nine Mercer County Library System Branches.
All residents are welcome to use these sites; older residents and individuals with chronic health conditions are especially encouraged to use these sites during the day find comfort. Depending on driver availability, TRADE may be able to assist with transportation to and from these sites. Residents are encouraged to call (609) 530-1971 if they anticipate requiring transportation assistance.
Additionally, residents should also adhere to the following advice from the state Department of Health and Senior Services:
- Dress in layers while outdoors, including a hat and gloves. If you get wet from heavy sweating, rain, or snow, change into dry clothes as soon as possible.
- Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. Avoid drinking alcohol because it can accelerate loss of body heat.
- Many cold-weather injuries are the result of falls from icy surfaces. If possible, use rock salt or chemical de-icer to keep sidewalks, walkways, and porches free of ice.
- Stock your car with emergency gear, including: a cell phone; jumper cables; flashlight; blanket; sand for extra traction; ice scraper and a small shovel; and flares or other warning devices. For longer trips in a vehicle, pack extra food and water, blankets, and any required medications.

Fresh lemonade is at the crux of all that is lovely and wonderful about summer. It's simple, refreshing and undoubtedly tied to fond memories of youth. Infuse this favorite with summer's best fruits, and your nostalgic homespun joy will increase twofold. We charged the lovely Amber Wilson of For the Love of the South with creating blackberry, peach, watermelon and strawberry fruit-infused lemonades from one classic recipe. In her following recipes, Amber encourages us�to be creative, saying, "Add fresh herbs to these fruity lemonades. A sprig of oregano with the strawberry lemonade and a rosemary sprig with the blackberry lemonade lends a lovely herbaceous aroma to this classic summertime beverage. Mint goes great with watermelon, and thyme works well with peach lemonade." [caption id="attachment_330666" align="aligncenter" width="493"] This article originally appeared as on Relish

Topic: Inline Gruff
I'm using gruff to generate some graphs (duh!) and I can't find any documentation to tell me how to include a graph in a view/partial. The current method in my controller ends with the send_data method which sends my graph to the browser just fine. How do I get that pretty graph into my templates so I can make it dynamic?
def show
g = Gruff::Pie.new(400)
g.theme = {
:colors => ['#2a90c3', '#aaaaaa'],
:marker_color => '#103262',
:background_colors => ['white', '#ffffff']
g.font = File.expand_path('artwork/fonts/VeraBd.ttf', RAILS_ROOT)
g.title = "Effort / Estimated"
g.data("Effort", [9])
g.data("Estimated", [81])
send_data(g.to_blob, :disposition => 'inline', :type => 'image/png', :filename => "gruff.png")
PS. For those experienced gruffers, is there a better way to scale a graph, or at least change the font size than passing a size to the constructor?

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing
Often times, the thing that patients remember most about their stay in a hospital is the care they received from the nurses there. While compassion can't be taught, the other skills nurses need to be successful certainly can.
The RN-BSN Nursing Progression Track at Western Michigan University prepares thoughtful, professional nurses who possess the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to deliver quality health care in the 21st century.
Additionally, WMU will award you 18 credits if you have passed the NCLEX. These count toward the 60 WMU credit hours required to earn a bachelor's degree from WMU.
Some hospitals already require nurses to have a BSN degree. And many others have "BSN-preferred" hiring policies. WMU's Bronson School of Nursing has developed a unique program, specifically designed for RNs, that leads to the completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
The RN-BSN curriculum integrates knowledge from liberal arts, sciences, and the discipline of nursing. The program emphasizes the development of skills, knowledge, and the competencies essential for the scope of clinical judgment that distinguishes the practice of a professional nurse. Become a strong and well-rounded nurse with a degree from a university health leaders know and trust.

Twitter's Vine App Might Grow Larger Than Instagram, Flickr
Ever since Facebook (FB) limited Instagram's capabilities on Twitter, it's been dead to me. I no longer use it. Even worse, I rarely click on Instagram links in Tweets.
I must concede -- for as much as I appreciate what Mayer did to Flickr, I hardly use it anymore either. I think I know why. It has everything to do with convenience, ubiquity and accessibility. That's where Twitter should place focus vis-a-vis its new (and excellent) Vine app. I'll get to that in a second, but let us consider why Vine is so damn good in the first place.
If you have or have had young children, you might appreciate this.
The other night - actually morning - my nine-year old daughter crawled into our bed at roughly 3:35 a.m. I did what I always do when I wake up in the middle of the night. I pulled my iPhone out from underneath the pillow, launched Twitter to see what I missed while sleeping and play a quick game of Ruzzle before dozing for another hour or so. As that process commenced, my kid said, "Open the Vine app for a minute."
I told her about it that day. She liked it and, at 3:30 in the morning, she had the urge to create a quick six-second video clip. Apparently she planned on stealing the phone to capture a series of my reported snores. Anyway, Vine resonated with her. And, while she's a sample of one, I've got a feeling about this app.
I like it as well. And, as it bubbles up from below the surface -- Twitter really hasn't promoted it very heavily at all -- Vine will get big. To ensure that this happens, Twitter needs to -- getting back to convenience, ubiquity and accessibility -- seamlessly integrate Vine into its platform. Make it not only convenient to use, but even easier to access. Additionally, it needs to show up in the most-heavily viewed portions of the Twitter interface.
That's why I don't use Flickr. When I snap a picture, I usually want to have the option to share it on a social network, usually Twitter or Facebook. If I don't want to share it, I just use my iPhone camera and save it to my camera roll/photostream. So, why open up Flickr or Instagram if I can a.) share a photo straight from my iOS camera roll or b.) take it in Twitter using my smartphone camera and attach it to a Tweet instantly?

Enheduanna, the first poet we know by name
Enheduanna was a priestess and poet in the city of Ur in the 23rd century BC and supposedly the daughter of Sargon the Great of Akkad. She is the first author known by name. Here are a number of her poems in English translation, The Exaltation of Inana, Inana and Ebih, A Hymn to Inana, The Temple Hymns and A Balbale to Nanna. Here are two alternate translations of The Exaltation of Inana, one by James D. Pritchard and an English rendering of Dr. Annette Zgoll's German translation. If you want to learn more, go to The En-hedu-Ana Research Pages.

Product Questions
1) The factory default settings are 12 months/days and 100 gallons/liters for each stage.
2) To reset to the default settings (if you have changed it), with the unit on, quickly press the SET button. The unit will beep and the "SET" icon will be displayed.
3) Press and hold the SET, UP and DOWN buttons together for 2 seconds. The unit will beep three times. This will reset all five stages to 12 m/d and 100 g/l (deleting any saved settings.)
It will only function on the water inlet line. Fortunately this is the value you want to know anyway, as all of the water (product and waste) both travel through your prefilters.
The volumizer only records the water going into the RO/DI unit and it will continue to do so. Since your filters are rated for the amount of total water they are processing and that will remain the same, the volumizer is still good to go (you'll just find that of that total water processed more of it is product water vs waste now so you don't have to run the unit as long to get the same amount of product water). Hope that makes sense!
Full Details
- A five-stage filter monitor with five independent timers and a tri-color LED faucet indicator disc.
- The volumizer counts up in gallons or liters (settings can be modified).
- Works on time (and volume for the FM-2) for up to five stages (can be less).
- The LED indicator disc will illuminate a green, yellow or red light when the water is turned on. The color indicates the percentage of elapsed time.
- Auto-Off function conserves battery power. The unit shuts off automatically after 5 minutes of non-use.
- The timer counts down in months or days (settings can be modified).
- Includes an audible alarm (beep).
- Modern design is perfect for any kitchen.

Very Happy with the Product By Ramturbod on 9/26/2016Ramturbod would recommend this product to a friendI wanted to be able to monitor my RO/DI system for changes in media and be able to see how much water is actually be used overall. So far I have been very please. I found that I am producing one gallon of product to 4 gallons of total water. The unit was very easy to install and did not have any problems in the setup.
Doesn't work By Bigbubbatubba on 1/18/2016Bigbubbatubba wouldn't recommend this product to a friendWhat a great idea! Unfortunately the product does not appear to work. I sent the first one back, received a replacement, and. same thing happened - only let me adjust time for one channel and no volumizer function at all. So returned it and they reshuffled another. This is my third unit and absolutely the same identical problem as the first two units. Shame on BRS for making me call the manufacture like it was something I was doing. Bad product...
It didn't work for me. By Mark on 1/2/2016Mark wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI printed the on-line instructions. Spent a lot time learning. Tried off and on for over a month. The volume never counted. I unplugged the flow sensor, removed battery etc. I programmed all 5 stages. None of them ever counted. This product is discontinued. I can see why.
Great tool to monitor your Filter usage By Xavier on 11/21/2015Xavier would recommend this product to a friendJust make sure that everything is connected prior to Battery install. if not the voluminizer will not show on screen, I lost 20 min realizing that ! (stupid of me)
Save money By Jose on 1/19/2015Jose would recommend this product to a friendGreat add on works perfectly
Just a counter By Paul on 10/22/2014Paul would recommend this product to a friendI wish these were cheaper as I only use them to count gallons. I put 2 of them on, one before my filters and one after my RO membrane. It's perfect as it tells me how much water I've made, how much water I've used, so I know my ratio, and when I need to change out my filters and gives me an idea of how much water I've sent through my resin so I have an idea of when to change it. Works for me.
an item to keep you on point By turbotone on MR on 1/15/2014turbotone on MR would recommend this product to a friendthis item is great for a forgetful person.. if this is you get this item!! lol its me for sure but how it benefits you is by monitoring the gallons you use on some of the filters rather then time.. i own a 5 stage system (pre filter, chloraplus carbon filter, matrix carbon filter, 75 gpd membrane and 75 gpd membrane with 2 di stages that i don't monitor because i can visible see and i also have dual tds meter monitoring both of them) pre filters i would change every three months and carbons every 6 months as a rule of thumb.. with this system you change pre filters every 3000,carbon every 6 months membranes are on a time schedule of every 36 months.. i haven't changed my pre filter yet and its been 6 months..just got to the 1200 gallon mark. it makes sense bc I'm running a 75 gallon mixed reef with a 30 sump. i do a 10 gallon water change per week and fill up my 10 gallon ato tank at the same time using about 9 gallons per week total use about 20 gallons a week… i use to do 20 gallon water changes a week at first… keep in mind i have it monitoring after the booster pump but before the very first filter… definitely an investment long term due to the savings in just filter use.
Looks good By BobbyT on 12/8/2013BobbyT would recommend this product to a friendI think this is a very important device to install on any RO unit.
Everything is working great so far
I would highly recommend for someone that has muliple statages of filter to change a different times. By Kenneth on 11/9/2013Kenneth would recommend this product to a friendi highly recommend this tool. It helps to keep track of how much water you are going through, so no more guessing on when to change the filter or how much life you got out of the filter. You can setup a separate checker for each of your stages. I have color changing DI so i know when it needs to be changed, but I still like to know how many gallon of DI water was produced so that I can keep track of my expenses and how the system is functioning.
DOA By Russel on 10/29/2013Russel wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe unit has two modes - timer and volumizer. Obviously the more desirable function for the price is the volumizer. Unfortunately the unit I received never detects any flow rate. I was able to get it to detect the flow meter by reinserting the battery - but no matter where I put the unit on my RODI system, it never detects any flow. I even tried blowing air into the flow meter just to ensure the impeller worked - heard it spin, but no reading. Contacted manufacturer to see what the next steps are.... probably going to have to pay return shipping.
Awesome Customer Service By Cody on 6/29/2013Cody would recommend this product to a friendI just installed this today and so far it works as advertised. I spent a while on this site figuring out what the recommended filter change out intervals were and had it all written down ready to program into the volumizer. When I turned it on I found out that it had been pre-programmed to exactly match the chloramines RO system that I had previously ordered. Excellent customer service, above and beyond what I would have reasonably expected.
Great little helper. By Troy on 2/27/2013Troy would recommend this product to a friendI bought a deluxe RO system that had this monitor. It difinitely takes the guess work of when to change filters. fairly easy to use, but the mounting system needs improvement. It uses velcro to mount it and the Velcro goes across the back of the unit which is where the battery cover is, so when you pull the unit off, it tends to pull the battery cover off too. A bracket like on the deluxe dual TDS unit ( or any type of bracket) has would be so much better. Still, a nice addition to any RO system.
