Town Square
P.A. expat observes London struggle with OVS (Olympics void syndrome) and embrace Paralympics
Original post made by David Vinokur, a former resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Aug 27, 2012
==B Super size me==
London managed to serve up a super-sized portion of 'I say!', between the weather (mostly) following instructions, the transportation network and Olympic Park suffering nary a hiccup and athletes, coaches, staff and fans all seeming to have had a very positive and fun 16 days. And Team GB surpassed all expectations by rocketing past their 2008 gold and total medal results. The British press ranks total golds over total medals, which puts GB at #3 in the medal table – not bad for a wee island nation – and fourth overall. Russia had third-highest total medals, bolstered by their large bronze take, which surpassed even Team USA. OK, enough 'anorak' (geek) talk.
Palo Alto's Olympians did their level best in London: two more golds in tennis and beach volleyball, fighting shuttlecock spirit by Ben Lee's badminton team and noble effort by Paly's rising table tennis star Lily Zhang. Lee remarked to me that it had been a 'wonderful experience' contributing with the athletes in these games. And thanks to the kind offer of a shy friend, some fan-photos of Zhang competing in London have been added to the online picture gallery for this blog.
==B Paralympics to the rescue==
With momentum (and pangs of yearning) strong following the Games, the 2012 London Paralympic Games kicks off this week and is poised to challenge for the honor of being the first ever sell out. Tickets, while admittedly much less dear than the Olympics, have already sold out for all Olympic Park events, with even day passes 'snarked' up. Paralympic athletes are, I think, especially looking forward to bringing much welcome critical praise for and public scrutiny of their respective prowess, as well as the downright exciting nature of these Games. Now bring on that wheelchair rugby.
==B BBC me, hear me==
Live coverage in the UK of the London 2012 Olympics was a commercial-free feat of massive media proportions. Six TV and four radio channels provided near non-stop terrestrial coverage, while all competitions were viewable live online (as in the States), with the added bonus that everything was (and still is) available on demand post facto. Wow. Without the Beeb's embarrassment of online riches, their abrupt signing off of wall-to-wall Olympics TV coverage would have been a short, sharp shock to the system.
Between living here, marrying into 'the realm' and my primary O-coverage coming from the BBC (no great hardship, I assure you), my awareness of and interest in Team GB is strong. Some of my personal highlights include Mo Farah and Victoria Pendleton, both multi-gold winning Britons who manage to pull on your heart and mind with their perseverance and poise.
==B Don't be sorry, just say sorry==
Remember the 'separated by a common language' saying? Whilst food is the way to a persons heart, language is the life blood of the human experience. If animals, etc. could talk, right? Well, we can. And I find an effective method of connecting with people in a foreign land is to make an effort with the local lingo. Sharing a language here mitigates the need to make much effort along this front, but even a few small steps help to better understand the British people and their intentions.
London shop and sales staff will not typically introduce themselves with a probing question, such as 'is there anything I can do for you/anything you need?' In the self-effacing vein of being non-intrusive, you'll usually receive a simple: 'are you alright?' First time I heard this, my reaction was to think: yes, of course I'm alright. Somehow, over time I kind of get it.
==B How many words for ice?==
Language says a lot about a people and culture. Some grammarians claim that Eskimos have up to 18 different words for ice – makes sense, even if it's debated. And I find it telling that the stoic (and loving) British people say 'sorry' with amazing frequency. Didn't hear what somebody said? Reply with a simple 'sorry.' Bump into someone on a crowded tube or pavement (sidewalk)? Sorry. Get bumped into? Sorry. Need someone's attention or to squeeze past them on the Tube? Sorry. And of course the tried and true making amends: sorry.
Saying 'excuse me' can, I concede, be construed to imbue a certain air of superiority, which Brits decry. "Excuse me!" might as easily come from a demanding Lord as a humble servant. But nobody can question your humble intentions with a good, well-placed sorry. 'Your welcome' is generally replaced with some variant of: 'That's OK.' Again, emphasis on not getting too personal, and putting the recipient at ease.
'Can I help you?' 'Excuse me.' And 'you're welcome.' Replaced by: 'you alright?' 'Sorry.' And 'that's OK.' Subtle differences which speak volumes about social norms and the values that infuse them.
Next up: Palo Alto's pioneering civic ways reflected in London, and what's all this about bad British food?

Paralympics appears to be completely under the radar here. No media attention that I have seen. I can tell it is all over the BBC website, but sportstars being busted for doing drugs and new sports stadiums are the sporting talking points.

#Brit: perhaps Olympic host cities are more primed than others for Paralympic Games? The London 2012 Paralympic Games will be outstanding, and hopefully will raise the profile and awareness of athletes with physical disabilities. I know here in London, people were so moved by the Olympic Games that they are embracing the Paralympics, big time.

So it seems the Paralympics which finished with triumphant pomp in ceremony went out like a wet squid here in the US. I heard absolutely no mention of them by anyone in the US, but my facebook news stream from across the pond was a constant flurry of delightful tv and attendee watching. YouTube appears to be the only media covering any of it. For anyone who would like to see anything, like the fabulous closing ceremony, here's a link for the 2 hour event Web Link

Applications and libraries/Editors
From HaskellWiki
< Applications and libraries
Revision as of 10:48, 23 May 2006 by EndreyMark (Talk | contribs)
- Yi is a text editor written and extensible in Haskell. It has an own Haskell wiki page, too. The goal of the Yi project is to provide a flexible, powerful and correct editor core scriptable in Haskell. A principle of Yi is that any behaviour can be programmed, so there exist vi, vim, emacs, mg, nano, joe and ee frontends to Yi. Other editor interfaces can be written easily via a lexer specification.
- hIDE is an IDE for Haskell, based around a dynamic plugin core, and utilising a sophisticated compiler interface to provide syntax colouring, type checking and more.
- EdComb -- Editor combinators allow to assemble structure editors compositionally instead of generating them from descriptions, just as parsing combinators allow to assemble parsers compositionally instead of employing parser generators to generate parsers from grammar descriptions. A fruitfully general approach to the concept of editor is presented. Therefore, these editor combinators can be used also e.g. as browser combinators, with interesting new possibilities for browsers.

Eh. We shall see. I think Nova is getting better each game and they have a very solid defense. They really just have to clean things up. They had way to many penalties and actually should intercepted the ball on he 1 but instead USF caught it and scored.
u Want to talk about bad football.. Wash St is putrid.. How are they a PAC12 school? They were up 28-10 and in a matter of seconds seemingly, its 28-20.. The worst Defense i've ever seen..
Welp, No.Illinois has found themselves another stout QB.. Everyone knows how much i loved Chandler Harnish(he was very impresive in presason for colts), and now they got Jordan Lynch, whos more a Running QB, but can't throw it alitte as well... TOday hes rushed for over 100yrds in 1st half and is 5-7 passing against Army.. Hes a beast..
No excuse for Josh Boyce to have 1catch against Kansas almost at Halftime.. Ur best player needs to ball.. 2key turnovers in teh redzone have TCU with only 7points with 3plus mins to go till half.. Not impressed with TCU today.. THey seem very disorganized.. Pachall has a heck of arm though..
Zach Maynard hasen't been overly impressive the first half.. Braxton Miller on the other hand has grown leaps and bounds since last yr.. Dosen't even look like the same guy.. Kudos to him and the coaching staff..
wow, Refs blow! A horrible hold call on a CAL td takes 7off the board.. What a joke refs are! The crowd thought they saw a hold but the cal player had his hands inside and there was certainly no hold, not even close..
The refs in this Ohio St game are a freaking joke! I can Ref better then these bums!
THe announcers can't believe some of these calls.. There talking about it not being fair that its a big 10crew because its almost blatently obvious how bias they are toward Ohio St.. It makes it hard to even watch.. I feel bad for cal,t hey got robbed on at least 5calls.. Seriously,t hats insane!!!

Here is a thread...
where Mitigator33 asked
"Draw Force Curve?"
Mitigator33's question:
I put my 2013 Answer on the draw board with my Pelouze digital scale.
At first it was maxed out at 73 lbs.
It loaded quick then held in the 69-72 range
for much of the draw cycle finally
dropping into a short valley and
having an 18lb holding weight.
Draw stops were all the way out. 30.25" draw.
Once dialing down to 70lb draw weight
it was a lot different cycle.
Draw stops all the way out 30.25" draw
it peaked early for only a few inches then
let off quick falling into the valley
which was much longer and had a 15.5-16lb hold weight.
The question I am having is what else can be done
if anything
to change the draw cycle.
I am new to bow tuning.
The cams are synced perfect at this point
but it was amazing to me the difference in what 3 lbs made.
I'm not really needing a change just on an educational mission.

New ICHEC users should refer to the Fionn support page as a starting point. Tutorials on specific topics can be found here. New users should also refer to the Education & Training section for training courses and upcoming workshop schedules.
When an account is created, your email address is automatically subscribed to a mailing list:
If you wish to receive updates about the Centre, please e-mail us at email@example.com, asking to be subscribed to the ichec-announce mailing list.
An overview of the application procedure from start to submitting jobs:
Once you have been assigned a username and initial password you can connect to the systems using SSH:
You will need SSH access outbound (port 22/tcp) to login to these machines. We have noticed in some institutions you will have to login to a network server with this SSH access first (e.g. DIAS). If you get a "Connection timed out" error, please contact your local network administrator first to ensure you have the appropriate ports open. Failing this, please submit an issue to the ICHEC Helpdesk.
To connect to ICHEC systems you need to be logging in from IP space assigned to a partner institution. This means that under normal circumstances you cannot connect directly from home or when travelling. However your host institution may well provide a system to which you can connect from home etc. and from which you can subsequently connect to ICHEC systems. Whether or not such a system is mechanism is provided is a matter for local policy at your institution.
Secure Shell (SSH) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. SSH provides secure X connections and secure forwarding of arbitrary TCP connections.
SSH works by the exchange and verification of information, using public and private keys, to identify hosts and users. The ssh-keygen command creates a directory ~/.ssh and files that contain your authentication information. The public key is stored in ~/.ssh/identity.pub and the private key is stored in ~/.ssh/identity. Share only your public key. Never share your private key! To further protect your private key you should enter a passphrase to encrypt the key when it is stored in the filesystem. This will prevent people from using it even if they gain access to your files.
If your desktop is on a private network and/or you need to ssh to ICHEC machines via a local ssh proxy then the best way to transfer files directly between your desktop and ICHEC is to use sftp over an ssh tunnel. To create the tunnel use something like:
ssh -f -N -L 2222:fionn.ichec.ie:22 firstname.lastname@example.com
Then all connections to port 2222 on your desktop will be forwarded via sshproxy to fionn.ichec.ie. So to ftp between ICHEC and your desktop you can simply use:
sftp -oPort=2222 ichec_username@localhost
If you receive a request for your login details either by email or telephone you should NOT disclose them regardless of whether the person contacting you purports to be from ICHEC or otherwise as it may be an attempt to steal your login credentials as can be the case with online banking for example. Please ignore the request and report it to us directly.
This problem can occur if you have commands in your .bashrc file which produce output, perhaps an error message which can cause the problem to appear to be intermittent. Such commands should be placed in your .bash_profile file instead where they will not interfere with the SFTP connection process.
Fortran, C, and C++ are available on the ICHEC systems. The commands used to invoke the compilers and/or loaders vary from system to system. For more information, see the system specific pages; Fionn. A number of scripting and interpreted languages are also available.
Please refer to the Software section for an up-to-date overview. If there is a particular package you would like to see installed, please contact the ICHEC Helpdesk with your request.
For some examples and guidelines regarding Makefiles see our tutorial on Building and Porting. If you have specific questions feel free to contact us via the Helpdesk.
We have included instructions on the Gaussian page of our software section.
On the Fionn cluster, batch processing is managed by the Portable Batch System (PBS) and Moab Scheduler. PBS batch requests (jobs) are shell scripts that provide timing, memory, and processor information. For example scripts, see the Fionn support page. PBS uses qstat -a to check the status, and qdel to delete a batch request. For more information also see our tutorial on batch processing and queueing.
All jobs should be submitted to Fionn via the PBS. PBS uses qsub my_script_name to submit a job. A sample script can be found on the Fionn support page.
A taskfarm utility is in place on Fionn you can find details here.
Use the mybalance command as follows:
This command will return the number of core hours available to all your projects (in the above example icphy001c). So for instance, if you wish to run a 48 CPU core job for 24 hours, you will need to ensure that you have a minimum of 24*48=1152 core hours on your project's account.
On Fionn you can monitor the output to stdout/stderr while a job is running by examining the appropriate file in:
The order that jobs run in is decided by the Moab scheduler based on a priority it calculates for each job. The calculation of queue priority is relatively complex in order to deal with long queues, large numbers of jobs and various classes of project. Below is a list of the factors that affect queue priority:
In addition to priority, a backfill mechanism can allow jobs to skip the queue fill space that would otherwise have been unused. This allows smaller jobs with shorter runtimes to maximise our utilisation while larger jobs wait for processors to free up.
Fionn has hard and soft limits on the number of jobs and processors a single user can use. The soft limits apply when there is a queue and the considerably higher hard limits apply when there are no jobs waiting to run. When a user exceeds whatever limit is in force all their queued jobs are moved from the queue to a blocked state and are only unblocked when a job completes or the limit is no longer active. Blocked jobs are only checked periodically and not on the regular job scheduling interval.
In addition there is a limit on the number of jobs a user may have queued even when they have not exceeded the hard or soft limits. Additional jobs will be moved to a blocked state until a queued job runs or is cancelled. For further information see the scheduling policies page.
The ICHEC Helpdesk and the email address are the two main entry points to ICHEC's support teams for registered users. Here you can get help in using the service, find out more about ICHEC or send us your comments.
Please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com asking for a new password.
We would appreciate a formal acknowledgement of ICHEC by inclusion in any resulting publications of the following sentence or some variation thereof: "The authors wish to acknowledge the DJEI/DES/SFI/HEA Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) for the provision of computational facilities and support."
It is also important that you notify us of the publication at firstname.lastname@example.com
When projects disk quota is exceeded the PI will received an email notification. You can check the disk usage using the
UNIX treats the end of lines differently than other operating systems. Sometimes when editing files in both Windows and UNIX environments, a CTRL-M character gets added to the end of each line as ^M in vi. To remove the ^M characters use the following command:
If you are connecting from a MS Windows machine you will need to have Xming, Hummingbird Exceed or similar installed and running on your workstation. You also need to ensure that X11 forwarding is enabled.
On a typical Unix system X11 support will already be in place and you need connect using: ssh -X email@example.com. Now you can execute any of your X applications and it should forward the X application via SSH to your local screen. For example:
You should now see the Xclock is running on your local screen.
In addition to individual user's home directories e.g. /ichec/home/users/username each project has an associated project directory /ichec/work/project_code which is accessible by all members of that group. By default a user's home directory and its contents cannot be read by other users though you can change the directory permissions to allow this if you wish.
This command will make the contents of the named directory readable by the other members of you project.

Parents drive toward kids crossing streets
Original post made by Louise, Harvest Park Middle School, on Oct 12, 2007
But that's not all these parents do. They turn their wheels toward the kids AND they actually ACCELERATE toward the children. They drive slowly forward, aimed right at the kids, so that they can proceed as soon as the child's backpack clears their bumper.
This is dangerous. What if the child suddenly turned around to run back for something? You would hit the kid.
In addition, how do you think it feels to have a car bearing down on you as you cross the road?
Keep your wheels straight until the children have finished crossing.
Do not drive toward children who are crossing the street. Do not put your foot on the gas until the kids have crossed the street. What is the purpose of Character Education in the schools when the parents are such poor examples?

Louise's concern is that.......
They turn their wheels toward the kids AND they actually ACCELERATE toward the children. They drive slowly forward, aimed right at the kids...........
I understand that you view that parents are engaging in a dangerous maneuver but yet your description is somewhat contradictory. Driving slowly forward is NOT the same as ACCELERATE toward the children. I take that your objection might really stem from "aimed right at", which is really different from truly "accelerating" while "aimed right at". If the vehicle is moving slowly, aimed right at the children, but is under full control of the driver, as evidenced by the driver slowly moving forward, then I question really whether this is dangerous in the sense that you convey.
I appreciate your concern, though, and hope that drivers read this and re-consider how they drive and maneuver in this situation. Safety of children trumps being in a hurry. Perhaps giving more space would be safer for the children as well as relieving the concern of all who are watching.

Thank you for your considerate response, Frank. Here's why I think it's a dangerous practice...
1. If the child were to stop walking, or turn around and run back, there's is a good chance the car, or often truck, will hit them. This would not be the case if the driver was not driving toward the child. 2. If the car is hit from behind by another car, the car will be pushed into the child. My last point has to do with consideration of others....it feels bad to have a truck or car moving straight at you when you are crossing the street. Particularly, I imagine, if you're 6 years old. I think it would feel scary. I understand that these parent drivers are not thinking of the children's feelings. My children don't walk to school, it is not my kids I'm thinking of, but other people's children,

I go to a local high school, and I walk both ways. EVERY TIME I cross the street I experience careless drivers, and it makes me so nervous. I mean, can you not wait like 3 seconds for me to finish crossing the street or is someone bleeding to death in the back seat? I have been almost hit several times, each time I was crossing legally, not j-walking or darting out into traffic. And the drivers always look at me like it was MY FAULT they had to slam on their breaks.
Last year my sister was almost hit while she was crossing--and she was crossing with a crossing guard.
What ever happened to pedestrians getting the right of way?
Or the law that you can not drive thru a crosswalk until there is NO ONE in it?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 14, 2007 at 5:02 pm
Exactly Theresa. I also see, daily, drivers proceeding through a crosswalk with a crossing guard holding up the stop sign and guiding children across the street. They will drive through on either side of the guard that they can squeeze through. It's unreal. And these are PARENTS.
a resident of Pleasanton Heights
on Oct 14, 2007 at 8:08 pm
I see Louise's point. Why keep your vehicle moving forward when children are crossing in front of you? What's your hurry? Simply stop and wait. This reduces the chance of hitting the children if exceptional circumstances develop, as Louise point out.
I have not witnessed the circumstance that is the subject of Louise's complaint since I'm not out there each day dropping off or picking up kids at school. But I have seen a lot of other similar situations where during the day people in Pleasanton drive dangerously in slow speed situations, most often with cell phone to the ear, oblivious to the possibilities that can develop that may lead to injury.

I very much agree with the previous statements. We all get in a hurry and it's easy to make a mistake when you are in a hurry.
I will say though, some of the teenagers especially are almost in slow motion in the cross-walk. I wish they would be more considerate of waiting drivers. They could easily pick up the pace instead of dragging their feet. However, while this is frustrating, it's no reason to use your car to push them along!
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 15, 2007 at 4:37 pm
David, I remember doing this when I was a teenager. Sometimes I would deliberately walk slowly across the street while a car was waiting. I was very angry because I was treated horribly by my 'parents.' I was powerless, nobody ever tried to help me. I think I was trying to exert a little power,(by walking slowly), over the adults who had all the power over me.

Noted Turkish archeologist, Muazzez Ilmiye Cig argues the eadscarf controversy that is tearing religious and secular Turkey to pieces essentially is based on erroneous beliefs about the Muslim religion. For some, wearing the headscarf is an individual expression of religious faith while to others it is an attack on the secular nature of Turkish society. The Turkish parliament this week voted overwhelmingly to remove the ban against women wearing a headscarf at the univeristy.
Ms. Cig's research reveals the initial idea of wearing a veil stems from the Sumerians and a priestess wore it while having a sexual encounter with a male. She argues the issue of the headscarf is a political one, not religious. Ataturk introduced western schools which competed with the Koranic and thus created tension. He conceived secularism as a means of having separation of church and state, and never regarded it as being anti-religion. "In other words, the young women are welcome to wear the headscarf, but no on government premises. It so happens that the headscarf is a rrligious ysmbol.butsides, it is one that incorrectly invokes religon."
Ms. Cig's arguement is that the Koran contains many ambiguous ideas and the current emphasis on wearing a headscarf is not actually a requirement of the Koran but stems from some Muslims who interpret it to mean that.

DoDEA OSS: Safe Schools Program
School Year 2013-2014 (Volume 14)
DoDEA implemented the Safe Schools Program in School Year 99-00, after an overwhelming approval was received from DoDDS and DDESS Superintendents. It was coordinated with the Dependents Education Council, European Schools Council Working Group, Deputy Directors, and Service Components.
The Safe Schools Program provides a systematic approach to counter school violence, crime, and the threat of terrorism. It also provides each school with the means to enhance the safety and security of its students, staff, facilities, and operations. The program guidance provides a means of identification, intervention, and prevention of violence; the identification and application of crime prevention techniques, and the application of DoDI 2000.16, "DoD Combating Terrorism Standards" within the DoDEA school system. The program emphasizes risk reduction planning - what administrators can do before an incident, to prevent it from happening and/or reduce the effects of one, if one should occur; and incident response planning, how to respond to an incident - evacuate, lockdown, shelter-in-place, or take cover.The Safe Schools Program consists of many components for use by each school in the DoDEA system. These components include:
- DoDEA's Safe Schools Handbook describes the Safe School Planning process and provides tools to help administrators review policy, program and physical security measures; establish security objectives; and develop a plan. The handbook also includes reference information about prevention programs, physical security, best practices, and antiterrorism planning.
- A DoDEA guide to Intervention Strategies and Prevention Programs Guides. These Guides include programs such as anti-bullying, behavior management, conflict resolution, gang prevention, life skills development, parental involvement, sexual harassment prevention, character education, substance abuse, and suicide prevention.
- A DoDEA guide for the school level application of DoDI 2000.16 "DoD Combating Terrorism Standards". This includes emergency management planning and DoD standards application guidance and checklist, as applicable for schools.
- Training in the use and application of the handbook, its tools, strategies and DoD Antiterrorism program management and standards. This training is intended for all DoDDS and DDESS principals and assistant principals.
- The Monthly Safe Schools Newsletter which reinforces and reviews concepts learned during training; shares DoDEA success stories; updates best practices and prevention programs; and provides information, resources, and contacts. More than 55 past editions of these newsletters can be found here. Included with these newsletters is an index which allows searches by the date of a newsletter, newsletter section, subject, or by the Safe Schools Handbook Table of Contents.
- The Safe Schools Hotline/Email at firstname.lastname@example.com that handles requests for information and provides technical assistance.
- Additional resources, such as the
- "What to Do in the First 20 Minutes" video which describes several factors that school administrators can consider when they are building their incident response plans - evacuation, transportation & relocation procedures; lockdown procedures; critical incident response kit; coordination between local security/law enforcement and school official
- "A Promise for Tomorrow" - A Youth Suicide Prevention Program designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and strategies that will enable them to help a friend (or themselves) who may be depressed or considering harming themselves. The kit includes a teacher's manual, video, public service announcement on CD-ROM, and student materials.
As a result of the Safe Schools Program, DoDEA students are free to learn because they do not fear for their personal safety. A DoDEA Customer Satisfaction Survey indicates that 54% of parents, 44% of teachers, and 50% of administrators felt that violence prevention should be a priority 1 rating. 35% of parents, teachers, and administrators agreed that student conduct (fighting, unruly classroom behavior) isn't a problem at their school. These responses appear to support the impression that DoDEA schools are safe and that the school community places a high priority on keeping them that way.

How To Destroy AngelsTrent Reznor did an "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit on Tuesday in which he said he'll be guesting on the new Queens of the Stone Age album. When asked what projects he is working on currently, Reznor responded: "A number of things. Tweaking some things for the How To Destroy Angels full LP (coming in Spring), helping Josh [Homme] out on a new QOTSA track, working with [NIN tour producer] Roy [Bennett], starting rehearsals for two bands." When asked if some of those rehearsals could be for NIN, Reznor added, "I spend a lot of time and energy thinking about how music is presented live. Lights in the Sky was probably my favorite live show I've worked on so far. This was a real collaboration between myself, Rob, Roy Bennett, and Moment Factory. We set out to make an experience and I really felt proud to put that on every night. Cryptic additional comment: 2013."Mariah Carey is set to perform as part of the famous Christmas Tree-lighting event in New York City. The pre-taping will be held at Rockefeller Center in New York on Tuesday, November 27 at 8 p.m. The Killers had to cut short a concert in Manchester, U.K. on Tuesday night after four songs when it became clear that frontman Brandon Flowers wasn't really able to sing. "I'm sorry I've never had to do this before but we've gotta stop. I can't sing," he told the sold-out Manchester Arena. "I don't know what else to tell you. I'm sorry. It's frustrating for me, I'm sorry. I promise that we will come back." A spokesperson for the arena told the Manchester Evening News that Flowers was suffering from a sore throat, and the band also canceled tonight's show at the same venue. However, according to NME, the band's shows at London's O2 Arena on Friday and Saturday night are scheduled to go ahead as planned.

'Immediate upgrade' needed at coroner's bureau
Santa Barbara County grand jury released report Friday
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - The sheriff-coroner's bureau needs an "immediate upgrade" according to two Santa Barbara County grand jury reports released Friday.
The jury found the coroner's bureau is in compliance with the law, but "the bureau's physical facility is in immediate need of significant improvements and merits a long-range strategic plan by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors," the report stated.
Members of the grand jury toured the facility multiple times, interviewed the forensic pathologist and staff of the bureau.
In the background of the report, the jury states that there is no record of a building permit on file for the facility that was built in the late 1980s, and that indicates it never went through the review and approval process.
"The building was constructed by inmate labor from the county jail, at a cost of less than $100,000," the report stated.
Jury members also found out medical and infectious waste from the coroner's facility is being discharged into the sanitary system during autopsies without the proper permit. The Goleta Sanitary District failed to reissue an Industrial Wastewater Permit even though the bureau submitted the correct paperwork.
The jury concluded the facility has "serious inadequacies which may jeopardize the health and safety of the staff and public."
The grand jury also released a report on law enforcement and detention facilities on Friday.
Jury members visited the nine Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office facilities, three probation facilities and three municipal police departments.
Members said the Santa Barbara County main jail is "severely overcrowded and understaffed."

I pray every day that the Freedom to Marry bill at our state Capitol will pass. It's due to my strong religious faith that I believe we should celebrate the love of our fellow brothers and sisters.
I have many gay and lesbian friends. Their love and devotion to their partners are just as profound and loyal as the love and devotion my husband and I shared for 59 years.
Please contact Reps. Joe Radinovich and John Ward and ask them to support the Freedom to Marry bill.

News Release
Council Roundup: Park expansion in South Bellevue
Also, light rail permitting mapped out
The City of Bellevue has acquired a 14-acre parcel next to the South Bellevue Community Center that makes it possible to expand a popular challenge course and add forest trails to Eastgate Park.
The City Council Monday authorized the $903,000 purchase, made possible with King County Levy proceeds ($451,500) and funding from King County Conservation Futures ($451,500). With the forested property immediately west of the community center, Eastgate Park will expand from 25 acres to 39.
The purchase provides several short- and long-term benefits, including:
The proposed expansion of the Challenge Course includes possible zip line and aerial bridge elements. Community members are invited to learn more about Challenge Course expansion alternatives at a meeting Sept. 27, 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the South Bellevue Community Center.
Council packet material
Feedback: Glenn Kost, Parks & Community Services Planning Manager, 425-452-5258 or email@example.com
Council OKs direction on light rail permitting processThe council approved a game plan to handle the complex permitting process needed for the East Link light rail project.
At issue is how to amend the city's land use code to provide a permitting track for a huge project that will cross several land-use districts and include six light rail stations in Bellevue. The existing city code was not drafted with light rail in mind, so clear requirements and standards are lacking.
Rather than make extensive changes throughout the city's 400-page land use code, the council opted for a light rail "overlay district" that would be added to the document. The strategy is designed to simplify the amendment process and make it easier for people to find light rail requirements in the code.
As part of Monday's discussion, councilmembers also signed off on a two-pronged permitting approach. One calls for the city to enter into a "development agreement" with Sound Transit, which would allow Bellevue to establish additional design standards and mitigation measures. The second permitting path, in case Bellevue and Sound Transit cannot strike a development agreement, involves issuing a conditional use permit.
Both paths would be included in the land use code, maintaining flexibility as future decisions are made by the council and the Sound Transit Board.
Currently Bellevue and Sound Transit are collaborating to identify project cost savings under the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed late last year; it includes city contributions toward the cost of a downtown tunnel.
The land use code amendments and permitting effort is proceeding now in order to establish clear standards and clarify the permit process, before the selection of a final light rail alignment in spring of 2013. Construction of East Link is projected to begin in 2015 and light rail service is expected to begin in 2023.
Next steps include a council study session on the draft land use code amendment, scheduled for Oct. 8, with a public hearing planned for Oct. 22. Additional study sessions could come in November and final action by the council on the land-use code changes is anticipated in December.
For more information, see the council study session item.
Feedback: Carol Helland, Land Use Division Director, 425-452-2724 or email@example.com; or Mary Kate Berens, Deputy City Attorney, 425-452-4616 or email@example.com

As mentioned on CSP Mag's Front page:
See CSP Mag's front page announcement at http://www.certifiedsecuritypro.com.
Good luck,
As mentioned on CSP Mag's Front page:
Back in mid 2004, after gathering information to further my own security career, I found that not only did I amass a staggering amount of information but also that there seemed to be no site that gathered it all in one spot. Light Bulb!! I bought the domain name, starting putting things in a logical order and did a soft launch and the end of 2004. All was going well during our "beta period,"so I decided to make an Official Launch the first week in April at SANS 2005. That's when I got the bright idea to offer Free Monthly Giveaways to increase membership and participation. Well, here we are 1 year later, and to celebrate, we go back to our first sponsor, CompTIA. The April '06 prize is the Security+ exam voucher ($237), a CompTIA Press Study Guide and a Security+ T-Shirt for a total value of approx. $325.

text: I have a 2004 WRX and I have 111,000 miles on it. I am going to replace the clutch as the biting point has gotten really high. Everything operates smoothly and no problems changing gears. I noticed that a new XTD Stage 1 Clutch Kit is for sale on ebay. Varying prices from $150 to $225. Has anyone ever used one of these clutches. I will be doing the change out myself to safe some dough, but I don't want to save on the labor and install a piece of garbage. Any thoughts or opinions? I am sure to have more questions as the time for the clutch change draws near, such as what size roll pins hold the drive shafts in place? Do you still need to wind an M6 bolt in to release the clutch bearing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Spain's disabled protest austerity cuts
People march on wheelchairs as they carry banners reading, "SOS, disability" during a protest against government austerity measures affecting disabled people by reducing services, closing disability centers and f[auth] orcing care workers from their jobs in Madrid, Spain, Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012. More than 10,000 people, many in wheelchairs or being led by guide dogs, marched in a demonstration with the slogan "SOS Disability: Save our Rights, Inclusion and Welfare." Health care spending falls under the responsibility of regional governments, many of which are indebted. Some local administrations have failed to pay medical centers, forcing cuts in services and a slow-down in the distribution of medicine. (AP Photo/Andres Kudacki)
MADRID (AP) — Disabled people took to the streets of Madrid on Sunday in the latest protest against broad austerity measures, angry over government cutbacks reducing services, closing disability centers and forcing care workers from their jobs.
More than 10,000 people, many in wheelchairs or being led by guide dogs, marched in a demonstration with the slogan "SOS Disability: Save our Rights, Inclusion and Welfare."
Health care spending falls under the responsibility of regional governments, many of which are indebted. Some local administrations have failed to pay medical centers, forcing cuts in services and a slowdown in the distribution of medicine.
Protester Manuel Gonzalez said assistance had decreased and in some cases dried up completely.
"We don't want to be taken back 40 years," he said.
Luis Cayo, president of the Spanish committee representing the interests of people with disabilities, said regional governments were in arrears of around €300 million ($389.6 million) to care workers and associations responsible for looking after the needs of disabled people across the country.
"To some this sum on a national scale may not be huge, but for us it's everything. Without it, we'll simply have to shut down," said Cayo, who said one in 10 people in Spain had some form of disability.
Earlier in the day, many thousands of people held hands to form chains around several of Madrid's main hospitals to show their support for Spain's national health service, they said.
Regional government health councilor Javier Fernandez-Lasquetty said that although the action showed how much Madrid's residents cared for their hospitals, government cuts were needed to save medical institutions from the worst effects of a deep financial crisis.
Blind protester Francisco Vicente, 54, said the government was neglecting disabled people in many ways, including failing to provide a transport system and even sidewalks that were not a hazard for visually impaired citizens.
"We don't count for those in power, except when they seek our votes," Vicente said.
Spain is immersed in a double-dip recession with 25 percent unemployment. The government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is implementing harsh austerity reforms aimed at avoiding a financial implosion and a national bailout like that required by Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus.
However, the level of bad debt in the country's banks has risen to record levels and the 16 other countries that use the euro as a currency have agreed to lend Spain up to €100 billion to help support banks weighed down by bad loans and investments.
Overspent regions have found it difficult to refinance their debt through money markets and have had to turn to the central government for aid, while cutting budgets.
Spain's regions have a combined debt of €145 billion ($185 billion) — of which around €36 billion has had to be refinanced this year.
"We know times are hard for everyone, but we who have begun life with so little are on the verge of collapse, and we can't just disappear," Gonzalez said.

Jersey City Library Celebrates National Library Week
(April 14 – 20) by Answering the Question:
What's in *your* collection?
JERSEY CITY, N.J. April 10, 2013 – Each year, the American Library Association (ALA) holds court, honoring libraries all over, with National Library Week, held this year the week of April 14-20. The ALA 2013 theme – Communities Matter @ your library – resonates as a specific version, Local Communities – The Heart & Soul @ the Jersey City Free Public Library.
"Come celebrate National Library Week at your local branch or the Main Library," said Library Director Priscilla Gardner. "By identifying major collections throughout the library system, we give you the chance to know what's here. We realize, these gems have been 'hiding in plain sight' and now, they've been highlighted for your personal exploration."
Whether the local communities are distinct ethnic enclaves, or identified by historic years and eras, the Jersey City library system has been gathering and augmenting (and weeding!) its many collections since its inception in 1889. And, the 20th & 21st centuries brought computer training at Miller and the Main, respectively.
The departments of the Main Library focus on specific areas of study, with three considered actual special collections, i.e., Biblioteca Criolla, Federal Documents and the New Jersey Room.
The Reference Department, while a general reading and research room, does have specific collections of interest: Education/Professional Test Books, Foreign Language Dictionaries, Historical Newspapers, and New Jersey Law.
The Lending Department boasts of a large collection of audiobooks, musical CDs, and educational and regular videos. There also is a Reading List collection for the classics, such as Charles Dickens, that are required reading for school.
The Vincenzo Domenico Bonetti II Children's Room on the first floor of the Main Library provides an excellent selection of easy readers for ages three to seven years old. The collection consists of books about weather, potty training friendship, family, colors, numbers, etc. This collection is also highly used for preschool story hour. The easy reader collection is typically a very large part of the children's collection, and has a large circulation rate. The Bonetti Room also carries a wide collection of juvenile fiction, YA fiction, biographies, non-fiction, folklore and fairytale, reference books, the classics, and DVDs and audiobooks, and provides titles by award-winning authors from the Caldecott, Coretta Scott King, Geisel, and Newbery medals.
Of the 10 branches in the Jersey City library system, seven have special collections of interest:
Cunningham: * Books about Abraham Lincoln & the U.S. Civil War * Folk tales & fairy tales for children
* Poetry books for adults & childre
Five Corners: * Books in Indian languages, including Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali & Punjabi, and books by
Indian authors writing in English * Books in Urdu (language of Pakistan)
* Books in Tagalog (language of the Philippines), and books about the Philippines in English
* Books in Spanish * Small number of books in Arabic & Portuguese
* Foreign music CDs * Foreign language movie DVDs * CDs & DVDs for learning different
languages & for ESL students
Heights: * Spanish language materials for children & adults * Small collection of Indian language books
Lafayette: * Books appealing to African Americans – urban & Christian fiction, and biographies
* Story Books for children * Holiday books collection
Marion: * Adult books in the Gujarati, Hindi, Bengali & Urdu languages
* Children's short stories in Hindi, including the Amar Chitra Katha Series
Miller: * YA books * Teen Center * Black History books * Computer Learning Training Center
Pavonia: * Large collection of large-print books * Very Popular – Children's basic history collection
* Very Popular – Elementary & High School Classic Literature selection
The over 120-year-old Jersey City Free Public Library serves New Jersey's second largest city, consisting of a Main Library, nine branches, and a wheelchair-accessible mobile branch that was custom-designed and -built, and on the road since May 2008. The Jersey City library system provides access to a diversified collection of 400,000+ pieces of printed, audiovisual, and electronic resources that addresses the needs of the truly multicultural clientele of 247,597 residents (U.S. Census 2010). The Library offers patrons automated catalog and circulation services, for searching at home or from library Public Access computers. The Main Library is the repository of two special collections: New Jersey Room, a collection of about 20,000 volumes with an emphasis on Jersey City, and the Biblioteca Criolla, a collection of 18,000 volumes (11,000 adults / 7,000 children) in Spanish from different Latino cultures. Both departments hold special programs in deference to their respective collections. On August 17, 2004, the Library held the grand opening of its first new branch in 42 years, serving the M.L. King redevelopment area, the Glenn D. Cunningham Branch Library & Community Center, named after the late Jersey City Mayor and State Senator.

text: I was goofing off and made an offhand comment on Rick Springfield's 1983 music video "Human Touch", and low and behold now that the song is 30 years old, it's starting to get some airtime again. Anyhow, the video shows what 2016 would look like, and it's funny as they have corded phones, small CRT monitors and a keyboard that looks like a Commodore 64. Those comments got a lot of likes and I just want to see if we can get some more likes on my comment. Nothing special here, just seeing how well I can get interactive on my social media stuff. So, if you have a few minutes, watch the video and LIKE the comments from "gmtruckclub" ... you have to go to YouTube to do that though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo0uTu2uLtI

Snow, frigid temperatures, wind chill. Had enough of another Cleveland winter yet? Depending on your frame of mind, the wide world of sports offers a lot of climate options to suit your mood.
Looking for sunshine, blue skies, green grass, and warmer temperatures than we have? Try the PGA Tour. For the next five weeks the players will be in California and Arizona. This week's tournament is being played at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Next weekend is the Waste Management Phoenix Open - this is the tournament with the crazy par three 16th, one of the few holes in golf where fans are expected to be rowdy and really loud. The classic AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am follows that from February 3-9.
Another hot spot is the Australian Open in Melbourne, where blistering heat has been a major story of the tournament so far. The finals will be played this weekend, Just completed, in the women's singles final, China's Li Na defeated Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia for her second grand-slam title. The men's singles final will feature the number one player, Rafael Nadal of Spain, against Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka, the 8th ranked player.
How about Daytona Beach? The classic NASCAR race, the Daytona 500, will be run on Sunday, February 23.
Finally, can spring be far behind when the Indians report to Goodyear, Arizona for Spring Training? Pitchers and catchers report on February 11, with the full squad do in camp on the 15th. Our home opener is Friday, April 4th against the Minnesota Twins. Hopefully the snow will be gone by then!
For those of you who don't mind the winter weather, there are major events coming up that will be contested outside. We've already seen one, the NHL Winter Classic, which was a huge success. Played outdoors at Michaigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, a record 105,491 tickets for sold for the game featuring the winning Toronto Maple Leafs vs. the Detroit Red Wings. Temperatures in the teens and swirling snow did little to dampen the spirits of the huge crowd.
Coming up on Sunday, February 2 is the NFL's Super Bowl. This year's game between Denver and Seattle will be played outdoors in East Rutherford, New Jersey, not in a warm climate venue or a dome. Many fans think it's about time the game is played in real football weather. The long-range forecast is predicitng high temperatures in the 20s and lows in the teens. Since the game starts at 6:30 pm, the high temperatures won't factor in at all. It's going to be cold, for sure.
And what showcases and literally depends on winter weather more than any other sport? The Winter Olympics, of course, which will be held in Sochi, Russia from February 7-23. This year, unfortunately there is a lot more to focus on besides the athletic competitions. Terrorist threats have everyone on edge and warnings are being issued to athletes and spectators, especially those from the U.S.
No sports were eliminated from this year's Olympics, but several new ones have been added. Perhaps the most anticipated is Women's Ski Jumping. There has been Men's Ski Jumping since 1924. The U.S. is sending a 3-women team of jumpers to Sochi. Other new sports include team events in figure skating, biathlon, and the luge. In the luge, for example, the teams will consist of a men's singles sled, a doubles sled, and a women's singles sled. They will go down the track, one after the other, with the clock stopping when the third sled crosses the finish line. Finally there are a number of snowboarding and skiing competitions featuring big air and other tricks. A lot of talk and interest has been generated by these new entries in the Winter Olympics lineup.
You can watch virtually every event either on TV or online. NBC and its affiliates will be doing the broadcasting from the games. With the difference in time and the multi-media coverage, it's becoming really hard not to hear the results of the competitions before they are shown on TV.
Looking back, the 2010 Winter Olympics were held in Vancouver and the sport that it seemed everyone was watching and talking about was Curling. The sport made its Olympic debut in 1924, but didn't become a medal sport until the 1998 Nagano games. Originally played outdoors, the sport now is contested indoors with temperature-controlled ice, rocks or stones quarried in Scotland, special shoes, and brooms/brushes. The men's team from Canada is looking to take its third straight Gold medal. The women's team from Sweden will be defending its gold medal from 2010.
Looking ahead, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil will host the 2016 Summer Olympics, while the 2018 Winter Olympics will be held in PyeonChang, South Korea.
No matter what your weather preferences are, there is always a sporting event, indoors or out, to provide some entertainment to get us through another Cleveland winter.

Where I stayed
Tena Guesthouse
So my last stop in Laos is this amazing place in the south where the Mekong splits in hundreds and hundreds of ways and literary creates thousands of islands, from 2 square meeter to few square KM wide, two of which are inhabited. I don't know if somebody really took the time to count them all but apparently there are 4000...
I took residence on Don Det, on the Sunset Boulevard in this nice bamboo hut equipped with a bed, a fan, a mosquito net and a hammock, overlooking the river and some spectacular sunsets (Sunset Blvd... !!! got it?) Love it! This is the place where I'm going to chill out, maybe catch up with my blog... but first lets check out the river. Sweet!! The water is fantastic, surprisingly clean, I swam between little islands for a couple of hours, always looking back trying to keep the bungalow in site. The fish here are very friendly and got a fish spa treatment for free :) OK here is what that means: if you stay still little fish will come and nibble at you feet eating the dead skin. It's weird and ticklish in the beginning but fun after you get used to it. In Siem Rieap you pay good money for same treatment on the side of the busy streets.
Meeting people when you travel is not hard at all, and 9 times out of 10 the ones you meet are wonderful like minded people that you connect to instantly
So on these lines it took a about 20 minutes to assemble an awesome group of people in the 4000 Islands paradise. A wonderful Dutch couple and another British one, a Swede and later on another Dutch couple and yours truly. Very soon Johakim, the Swede, introduced us to "Lion King" - Government distilled LaoLao. For an exorbitant price of $1 a bottle and an additional 80cents for a 1.5L Pepsi bottle (free ice!) it became the preferred conversational lubricant and fun inducing potion for the next few days. So much so that on the second night I believe we exhausted the guesthouse owner's supply to his delight and to our misery the next morning :). In all fairness the party included a bigger group, few Aussies and a Canadian lesbian, and it took place both on land and in the water until the wee hours of the morning.
With a mild hangover we rented bicycles the next day and we went around the island to see one of the waterfalls, swam against the current of it, and chartered boats to take us out to see the famous and elusive Irawady Dolphins. The boat ride to the spot for dolphins was awesome. With the Mekong in the dry season, the waterways around these islands are shallow, very often narrow with hairpin turns and the banks are rocky and dangerous looking with these strange trees leaning down river and balancing huge drift wood trunks some 6 meters above the water line
As intended, these few days on Don Det were super-relaxing, and having all these great friends around, priceless. But the time came to get my self out of this blissful "dolce far niente" and move along to the next country on my route: Cambodia.

Farmer Accused Of Selling Raw Milk Stays Free
Judge Declined To Revoke Bond
BARABOO, Wis. - A Sauk County farmer accused of selling food and dairy products, including raw milk, without a license appeared in court on Friday while his supporters rallied nearby against the prospect of him facing jail time.
Vernon Hershberger said he came to court prepared to go to jail because of a bond violation as he faces several misdemeanor counts, but Judge Guy Reynolds declined to revoke his bond.
Prosecutors had sent a letter to the judge saying that they believe Hershberger had violated terms of his pretrial release by continuing to sell raw milk and other products on his farm, based on a recent state Department of Agriculture visit.
During Friday's proceedings, Hershberger represented himself. He said that he didn't violate any terms and doesn't sell raw milk. He said he simply cares for animals and procures their food for members of a private club.
"I have no jurisdiction about what happens. The food belongs to the other people, and I do not have jurisdiction to tell them what happens with that food. (I) just wanted you to know," Hershberger said.
He said he's prepared to go to jail, and that the Department of Agriculture visits trespassed on his privacy.
"We don't sell milk. I want to get that clear. We don't sell milk. All we have is a big pantry on the farm, where the owners can come in and get their milk," he said.
Reynolds said that he wasn't going to take any action on Hershberger's bond. He said that the state must file a formal motion before he could.
"The court isn't going to respond to letters. The court takes action on properly served and filed motions," he said. "And that's true for both sides to this controversy."
However, the judge did have a message for Hershberger.
"I admonish you, Mr. Hershberger, that you are to follow my bond conditions," he said. "And, I expect you will. And if you don't, you can be separately prosecuted for that."
Attorneys with the state Department of Justice, who are prosecuting the case, declined to say why they didn't file a formal motion with the judge to revoke Hershberger's bond.
Meanwhile, Hershberger's supporters rallied on the steps of the Sauk County courthouse before the farmer's Friday afternoon appearance. Some said that they'd be willing to go to jail in defense of their freedom to drink raw milk. The protesters signed a "Declaration of Food Independence," and said that they're prepared to fight.
Canadian farmer Michael Schmidt said that they're mustering support.
"Who is willing to go to jail for your food rights? Hands go up, friends. We all count on you," he said.
The judge tentatively scheduled a trial on the four misdemeanor charges for Sept. 25.
Prosecutors still have to file responses to Hershberger's claim that a judge has no constitutional authority to hear the case.

Metropolitan Museum of Art's Street exhibit
A new exhibit called "Street" is opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It not only features 60 works of art but also a 61-minute film created by a local artist named James Nares.
"It's an hour-long film which was filmed from the back of James' cars with a very powerful camera capturing pedestrians and New Yorkers in ways that one has never seen before with the naked eye," said Ian Alteveer, associate curator.
In 2011, Nares spent a week filming in New York City, from Harlem down to Wall Street. He shot more than 16 hours of footage and then edited it down, using slow motion and stills to make the hour-long film.
"The movie really came out of a life-long preoccupation with old films particularly the old actuality films as they were called where they just mounted a camera on trolley cars and drove through the streets," Nares said.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art decided to collaborate with the artist.
"With James we've collected together a group of objects from the museum's permanent collection that complement the film in many ways whether its drawings or prints or photographs about street life in New York City," Alteveer said.
Some of these objects date back to Third Millennium B.C. from ancient cities all the way to modern day Berlin, Paris, and New York.
"One never has the time in a way as one passes by quickly," Alteveer said, "to take a good look at people and what they are doing. This is a wonderful way to see all the various cultures various people that make up this great city."
"I can see things that I couldn't see before," Nares said. "I would hope that other people can see that and maybe have an appreciation of the city."
