Celebrity Secrets To Healthy, Glowing Skin
By Alexis Farah
"Celebrities have great skin, but it takes a lot of work," says Jessica Wu, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at USC Medical School and a dermatologist in Los Angeles. "In fact, most of them have a team of beauty pros that travel with them and get them ready for the camera. But you can look your best at home by stealing some of their secrets." We asked the beauty pros to share the skin care tips they use to make sure the most gorgeous celebrities always have healthy, glowing skin from head to toe.
"Everyone sees your face before they get to know you or speak with you -- it's your first impression," says Jeannette Graf, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. And these A-listers make a beautiful impression. Julianne Moore, Penélope Cruz, and Renée Zellweger have skin so dewy and fresh they've become complexion icons. The key here is that they don't have sun damage, says Francesca Fusco, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. "Sunscreen 24/7 is a must, even when indoors, in cars, and on planes where UVA comes through the windows." Celebs fight blocked pores and acne with in-office treatments like microdermabrasion, facials, and peels, and by keeping their hands off their flawless faces. "Don't cup your chin, and keep your hair out of your face, especially since styling products are a major aggravator of acne," says Dr. Graf. "And swab your phone regularly with an alcohol pad to clean off oil and makeup, since bacteria can be transferred to the skin."
It's no surprise that Eva Longoria and Uma Thurman are often sporting low-cut or V-neck gowns at red-carpet events. Their décolleté has a radiant glow that creates the appearance of healthy, vibrant skin. Ward off sun spots from the start like Uma and Eva with a daily application of SPF of 30 or higher. This area is thinner and more prone to sun spots and wrinkles, so these ladies are probably using facial anti-aging creams. "Look for creams with ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, coffeeberry, and peptides to keep the skin on the chest area youthful," says Dr. Fusco.
Kate Winslet and Jessica Biel stand tall with perfect posture and healthy, blemish-free shoulders. "Beautiful, toned shoulders can make an outfit look spectacular," says Dr. Graf. "Skin care for this area should involve routine exfoliation of dead skin and lots of moisturizer." Opt for rich moisturizers with ceramides or glycerin, since the skin is a bit thicker on your shoulders. Try Dr. Fusco's healthy skin tip for keeping the area ultrahydrated: Apply a generous amount of warmed moisturizer to your shoulders, then put on a cotton T-shirt and wear it overnight. These experts agree these ladies aren't doing any heavy lifting that could cause shoulder marks. Avoid constricting clothing like straps and shoulder bags, which can cause dents, chafing, and redness. "If you have a heavy bag, it is better to divide the load into two separate bags, and carry one on each side," adds Dr. Graf.
Michelle Obama and Jennifer Aniston have more in common than their fashion icon status -- they both have flawless and impressively defined arms. "Arms require a lot of maintenance, and I'm sure these women put a lot of energy into their arms," says Dr. Fusco. Keratosis pilaris, a condition in which excess dead skin clogs follicles and causes red bumps on the backs of the arms, plagues 40 percent of adults (even some celebs) and can make healthy skin look flawed. The condition is not curable but can be minimized. Exfoliate the area first, then use a moisturizer with pore-cleansing ingredients like urea and AHAs (alpha hydroxyl acids), or see your doctor for more aggressive treatments. Elbows tend to look dark and flaky, but Jennifer and Michelle likely keep theirs soft with exfoliation and lotions with rich emollients like petroleum, ceramides, or glycerin, which locks moisture into the skin.
Ever notice how Maria Menounos and Heidi Klum like to turn their backs to the camera? Their smooth, clear skin makes a good case for putting one's backside forward. Since the back is a challenge to reach, these celebs and their teams must come up with clever ways to keep the area red-carpet-worthy. You can, too, by treating bacne (acne breakouts on your back) with new and advanced formulas designed for the area. Dr. Fusco recommends the new benzoyl peroxide foams (like Benz-E-Foam). Something else you can use a hand with: "Ask someone to help you apply an at-home peel system to your back to further smooth and even out tone," says Dr. Fusco. Of course, celebs may reach for spray sunscreens, self-tanners, and moisturizers like dry oil spray if they opt for a DIY process.
Jennifer Lopez and Blake Lively own the "best legs" category for their smooth, lean, and perfectly sculpted specimens. They're on their feet shooting for hours, so these celebs may use a supplement like horse chestnut extract to keep vein walls intact and prevent the appearance of varicose veins, says Dr. Fusco. You can pick up horse chestnut extract at your local health food store. To develop Blake's and Jennifer's enviable leg muscle tone, doing cardio, squats, lunges and calf raises (several sets each), is the way to go, Dr. Graf suggests. The last step to keeping your legs photo ready is moisture. Avoid long, hot showers, which can suck hydration out of your skin, and smooth on a quenching lotion twice a day, paying special attention to ultradry spots like knees, ankles, and Achilles tendon.

Support your gut by eating lots of anti-inflammatory foods. Support your liver by limiting sugar and alcohol intake and eating dark green leafy veggies. Support your adrenals through daily exercise, meditation or writing in a gratitude journal. Boost your nutrient intake by eating more nutrient dense foods like kale, collard greens, pomegranate and beets.
I don't know about you, but I look forward to this time of year pretty much all year long. I love the family traditions– the meals, the foods, the job and warmth. I love the weather– it's getting colder so I can bundle up in sweaters and boots etc. I love the holiday cheer… I look forward to this time of year because I look forward to enjoy this time of year. And it's hard to enjoy myself if I'm under the weather.
The holiday season just so happens to coincide with cold season… which is silly, but a reality. For whatever reason, we're more prone to the common cold during the holiday season– whether it's closing up the windows and lessening air flow or eating more foods that might compromise your immune system.
So here are 4 tips to help you stay healthy during the holiday season:
1. Support Your Gut
Your digestive tract and your immune system are intricately intertwined. If your digestion is off, you immune system is probably off. Working to heal your gut by eating lots of anti-inflammatory foods that work for YOU is very important.
I recommend following your personalized healing diet MOST of the time this holiday season so that you can really enjoy all of the special holiday treats you want to eat.
2. Support Your Liver
Your liver is your body's main detoxification organ– and during the holiday season it can get overburdened. I know that I tend to eat sugar and drink alcohol more often during the holiday season– for me, that's part of enjoying myself and enjoying the holidays. Sugar and alcohol can be really hard on your liver, which is responsible for filter EVERYTHING that gets absorbed into your blood stream.
I recommend supporting your liver by being mindful of your sugar and alcohol intake– make sure that you really want it and that you're really going to enjoy it! Eating dark green leafy veggies helps too.
3. Support Your Adrenals
Although the holidays are a wonderful time of year, they can also be a stressful time of year. Maybe you work in retail, or your Mother In Law stresses you out…take time to incorporate some stress relief into your daily routine. This could mean getting exercise every day, meditating, or writing in a gratitude journal. Active stress relief will help you enjoy the holidays more AND support healthy adrenal function to keep you feeling good.
4. Boost Your Nutrient Intake
Getting more antioxidants into your day is a great way to boost immunity and support your gut and liver health. Make sure that you're eating lots of nutrient dense fruits and vegetables to balance out all of the special holiday foods. The darker in color, the more nutrient dense– so go for things like kale and collard greens, pomegranate and beets.

CH 10 Setting up a Hadoop Cluster
Cluster Specification
Cluster Sizing
How large should your cluster be? There isn't an exact answer to this question, but the beauty of Hadoop is that you can start with a small cluster (say, 10 nodes) and grow it as your storage and computational needs grow.In many ways, a better question is this:
how fast does your cluster need to grow? You can get a good feel for this by considering storage capacity.
For example, if your data grows by 1 TB a day and you have three-way HDFS replication, you need an additional 3 TB of raw storage per day.
Master node scenarios
Depending on the size of the cluster, there are various configurations for running the master daemons:
the namenode, secondary namenode, resource manager, and history server.
The namenode has high memory requirements, as it holds file and block metadata for the entire namespace in memory. The secondary namenode, although idle most of the time, has a comparable memory footprint to the primary when it create a checkpoint. For filesystems with a large number of files, there may not be enough physical memory on one machine to run both the primary and secondary namenode.
Network Topology
Cluster Setup and Installation
Installing Java
Creating UNIX User Accounts
Install Hadoop
cd /usr/local
sudo tar xzf hadoop-x.y.z.tar.gz
sudo chown -R hadoop:hadoop hadoop-x.y.z
export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop-x.y.z
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP/bin:$HADOOP/sbin
Configuring SSH
Configuring Hadoop
Formatting the HDFS Filesystem
a brand-new HDFS installation needs to be formatted.The formatting process creates an empty filesystem by creating the storage directories and the initial versions of the namenode's persistent data structures. Datanodes are not involved in the initial formatting process, since the namenode manage all of the filesystem's metadata, and datanodes can join or leave the cluster dynamically.
Formatting HDFS is a fast operation. Run:
hdfs namenode -format
Starting and Stopping the Daemons
% start-dfs.sh
The machine (or machines) that the namenode and secondary namenode run on is determined by interrogating the Hadoop configuration for their hostnames. For example, the script finds the namenode's hostname by executing the following:
% hdfs getconf -namenodes
By default, this finds the namenode's hostname from fs.defaultFSthe start-dfs.sh does the following:
Starts a namenode on each machine returned by excuting
hdfs getconf -namenodes
- Starts a datanode on each machine listed in the slaves file.
Starts a secondary namenode on each machine returned by executing
hdfs getconf -secondarynamenodes
The YARN daemons are started in a similar way, by running the following command as the yarn user on the machine hosting the resource manager:
More specifically, the script:
- Starts a resource manager on the local machine
- Starts a node manager on each machine listed in the slaves file
scripts to stop the daemons started by the corresponding start scripts.
Creating USER Directories
% hadoop fs -mkdir /user/steve% hadoop fs -chown steve:steve /user/steve
Hadoop Configuration
Hadoop configuration files
- hadoop-env.sh Environment variables that are used in the scripts to run Hadoop
- mapred-env.sh Environment variables that are used in the scripts to run MapReduce (overrides variables set in hadoop-env.sh )
- yarn-env.sh Environment variables that are used in the scripts to run YARN (overrides variable set in hadoop-env.sh)
- core-site.xml Configuration settings for Hadoop Core, such as I/O settings that are common to HDFS, MapReduce, and YARN
- hdfs-site.xml Configuration settings for HDFS daemons: the name node, the secondary namenode, and the datanodes
- mapred-site.xml Configuration settings for MapReduce daemons: job history server
- yarn-site.xml Configuration settings for YARN daemons: the resource manager, the web app proxy server, and the node managers
- slaves A list of machines (one per line) that each run a datanode and a node manager.
- hadoop-metrics2.properties
- log4j.properties
- hadoop-policy.xml
Important Hadoop Daemon Properties
- core-site.xml
- hdfs-site.xml
- yarn-site.xml
to run HDFS, you need to designate one machine as a namenode. In this case, the property fs.defaultFS is an HDFS filesystem URI whose host is the namenode's hostname or IP address and whose port is the port that namenode will listen on for RPCs. If no port is specified, the default port of 8020 used.
Benchmarking a Hadoop Cluster
hadoop jar $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop...
CH 11 Administering Hadoop
The filesystem image and edit log
When a filesystem client performs a write operation (such as creating or moving a file), the transaction first record in the edit log. The namenode also has an in-memory representation of the filesystem metadata, which it updates after the edit log has been modified. The in-memory metadata is used to serve read requests.
Conceptually the edit log is a single entity, but it is represented as a number of files on disk. Each file is called a segment, and has the prefix edits and a suffix that indicates the transaction IDs contained in it. Only one file is open for writes at any one time (edits_inprogress_0000000000000000020 in the preceding example), and it is flushed and synced after every transaction before a success code is returned to the client. For namenodes that write to multiple directories, the write must be flushed and synced to every copy before returning successfully. This ensures that no transaction is lost due to machine failure.
As described, the edit log would grow without bound. Though this state of affairs would have no impact on the system while the namenode is running, if the namenode were restarted, it would take a long time to apply each of the transactions in its (very long ) edit log. During this time, the filesystem would be offline, which is generally undesirable.
Filesystem check (fsck)
Hadoop provides an *fsck*utility for checking the health of files in HDFS. The tool looks for blocks that are missing from all datanodes, as well as under- or over-replciated blocks. Here is an example of check the whole filesystem for a small cluster.
% hdfs fsck /
......................Status: HEALTHY
Total size: 511799225 B
Total dirs: 10
Total files: 22
Total blocks (validated): 22 (avg. block size 23263601 B)
Minimally replicated blocks: 22 (100.0 %)
Over-replicated blocks: 0 (0.0 %)
Under-replicated blocks: 0 (0.0 %)
Mis-replicated blocks: 0 (0.0 %)
Default replication factor: 3
Average block replication: 3.0
Corrupt blocks: 0
Missing replicas: 0 (0.0 %)
Number of data-nodes: 4
Number of racks: 1
The filesystem under path '/' is HEALTHY
fsck recursively walks the filesystem namespace, starting at given path (/), and checks the file it finds. It prints a dot for every file it checks. To check a file, fsck retrieves the metadata for the file's blocks and looks for problems or inconsistencies. Note that fsck retrieves all of its information from the namenode; it does not communicate with any datanodes to actually retrieve any block data.

UPDATE 2-Canada to impose fines on Sikorsky for helicopter delay
* Ottawa says Sikorsky failed to meet delivery deadlines
* Government says will levy significant penalties
* Sikorsky says trying to deliver as fast as it can
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Canada will impose significant additional financial penalties on United Technologies Corp's Sikorsky unit for delays in delivering search and rescue helicopters, Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose said on Monday.
Canada signed a C$5 billion ($5 billion) deal with Sikorsky in 2004 for 28 Cylcone helicopters, the first of which was supposed to be delivered by early 2009.
But the project has been plagued with delays, some of which Sikorsky blamed on major modifications requested by Canada. In December 2008, the deal was renegotiated to push back delivery of the first helicopter to June 2012, but Canada is still waiting.
"Our government expects Sikorsky's obligations under this contact to be met and to date they have not been met. In fact they have missed every deadline and every timeline," Ambrose told the House of Commons.
"We have already applied millions of dollars in liquidated damages and we are going to be applying significant additional charges that will begin to accrue against this company for failure to deliver. We continue to aggressively insist that Sikorsky meet its obligations." Continued...

Alice in Charge
It all starts when Aunt Sally reminds Alice that now that she's about to turn thirteen, she's the Woman of the House. Alice has always assumed that her father and her older brother, Lester, were there to take care of her. How can she possibly take care of them?
Alice's attempts to take charge of her household lead to one problem after another, culminating in a disastrous surprise birthday party for her father. And things aren't much better at school, where the seventh-grade boys are evaluating the girls in a way that has Alice and her friends pretty nervous. Alice doesn't think life can get any more complicated -- until a totally unexpected event shows her how wrong she is.

Read an Excerpt
Every April Fools' Day, for the past five years, Lester has pulled some trick on me, and I always fall for it.
He told me one April that he'd accidently dropped my toothbrush in the toilet the week before and forgotten to tell me. Another time he said that the FDA had just banned chocolate and no one would be able to buy it anymore. And last year, on April 1, he said he thought I had head lice. Each time I gasped and thought my life was over, and then he said, "April Fool!"
So this year I had it all planned. On the first day of April, I went down to breakfast as usual. Dad and I were eating corn flakes when Lester staggered into the kitchen the way he does in the mornings, his eyes half-closed. Most men shave and shower first, then come to breakfast, I'll bet. Lester does it backward. And on this particular morning, Lester groped his way to the table in the Mickey Mouse shorts I'd given him for Christmas, opened the refrigerator, and waited for something to leap out at him.
"Les," Dad said, "will you please choose something and sit down?"
Lester found some cold beans and some bread, and sat down at the table with his head resting on one hand. I think you could say that my brother is definitely not a morning person.
I got up, went to the sink with my dishes, then glanced out the window. I dropped my silverware.
"Lester!" I shrieked. 'Your car is rolling backward down the driveway!"
Lester, the Living Dead, leaped to his feet, knocking over his chair. He crashed through the hallway, stubbed his toe on the telephone stand, flung open the door, and hopped out onto the porch on one leg, holding his other foot in his hands.
He came to a dead stop. His car was right where it was supposed to be. A woman across the street, who had come out to get her paper, turned to look at Lester in his Mickey Mouse shorts.
"Al?" said Dad, coming up behind me in the doorway.
I collapsed in laughter. "April Fool!" I shrieked. Lester wheeled about and hobbled back into the house. "I'll kill her!" he yelled, but I was already halfway up the stairs.
"Al, you're dead meat!" Lester roared.
"April Fool!" I yelped again, barricading myself in my room.
"Road kill!" Lester bellowed, pounding on my door.
I waited in my room until both Dad and Lester had left the house, and then ran down to the bus stop, smirking from ear to ear, and made everyone laugh with my story.
The thing was, though, nobody paid much attention to April Fools' Day at school. Not even Denise Whitlock, the eighth-grade girl who's repeating seventh, did anything awful to me. She's the girl who bullied me last semester, but she just sat staring out the window in language arts, the way she usually does, only half listening.
Back in fifth and sixth, someone was always trying to put something gross in someone else's sandwich, or a boy would try to stick a sign on someone's back that said KICK ME HARD. But April 1 in junior high was pretty much like any other day, and by the time I went home, I was thinking how it wasn't very grown-up of me to go around playing tricks. If I hadn't played one that morning, in fact, Lester might have forgotten about April Fools' Day this year. Now he'd have some horrible trick waiting for me when I came in.
His car was in the driveway again. I cautiously went up the steps and opened the door. Everything was quiet.
I looked all around and tiptoed out to the kitchen. Lester was at the table eating cheese crackers and reading a magazine. I didn't know whether to step inside or not.
"How ya doin'?" he said. He didn't even look up.
"Okay," I told him, and waited for him to spring to stick my head under the faucet or something. Nothing happened.
I came slowly into the kitchen and reached for the crackers. Lester didn't even seem to know I was there. I poured some orange juice and sat down across from him. Finally there I was, jabbering away about school, and Lester grunted now and then. I realized what had happened.
Lester must have been half-asleep when he ran out on the porch that morning. That was it. They say that if you wake up after a horrible dream but go right back to sleep again, you won't remember the dream in the morning. Since Lester had never been really awake in the first place, he'd forgotten my trick already. Safe!
I decided to show Dad how grown up I was by making a salad for dinner have it waiting in the refrigerator when he came home. I got out the lettuce, carrots, celery, and green pepper, and had just stooped over again to see if we had any onions when Lester said, "Is that the latest style?"
"What?" I said.
"That hole in your pants. Is that how they're wearing them now?"
I bolted straight up. "Where?"
"Right on the seat."
"You're joking!" I said, my fingers searching. "I know you, Lester."
And then my fingers stopped. There was a hole! Right on my bottom! A two-inch rip in the seam. I felt my face turn hot. I remembered how I'd had to go up to the blackboard in math, and dropped the chalk while I was up there. Everybody must have seen when I bent over. And in the cafeteria, when I'd put my books under the table, hadn't I heard someone laugh when I stooped over?
"My gosh!" I screamed, and ran upstairs.
I took off my brown pants and threw them across the room. Everybody must have noticed and nobody told me. Pamela and Elizabeth were supposed to be my best friends, and they hadn't said one word. Everybody had let me walk around school with my underwear showing through the hole.
I started to bawl. This was the worst thing that ever happened to me. This was worse than opening the door at the Gap and finding Patrick, who used to be my boyfriend, standing there in his Jockey shorts. This was worse than accidently kicking one of the sixth-grade teachers during a Halloween parade.
This would follow me all through eighth grade, ninth, and senior high school the girl in the Fruit of the Loom pants. I sobbed.
Lester came to the door of my bedroom. "For Pete's sake, Al, April Fool!" he said.
I grabbed the bedspread and wrapped it around me. "You're just saying that! There really was a hole in my pants!"
"Relax! If there was, I didn't see it," he said.
I gulped. 'You didn't? Lester, tell me honest and truly: Did you see a hole in my pants or not?"
"Of course not."
"Well, I think it's really strange that you just happened to pick that as an April Fool joke when the hole was really there."
"Coincidence, Al."
"You're just trying to make me feel better."
"Why should I want you to feel better after what you did to me this morning?"
He remembered! "Are you sure you didn't see the hole in my pants first and then think of the joke?"
"Arrrggghhh!" cried Lester. "Okay! Okay! Let's say I did see it. Have it your way. If that's the most embarrassing thing that ever happens to you, you're one lucky kid." And he went back downstairs.
I sat woodenly on my bed. Did he mean that far worse things were ahead? Did he mean I'd go to school someday with a hole in the seat of my pants and not have underwear on at all?
I pulled on a pair of jeans and went downstairs.
"Lester," I said, "if you wake up some morning and I'm not here, you'll know I've hitchhiked to Alaska."
"Have a nice life," he said.

This is a great book you really buy it!
This book is for Haledon ( NJ) summer reading and it is awsome! LOVING IT!
This book is awsome. When aunt sally reminds Akice that her birthday is coming up, Alice thinks she is the woman of the house now. Thus book is awsomely funny while Alice tries to plan her dads 50th birthday. This i just hilarious!
this is a very good book it interests me i couldn't put it down once i started an when i got to the end i teared up that was really sad
I love all of the Alice books and Alice in April is no exception! I recommend all of the Alice books to girls 8-18! I have read every single book at least once and am now in the process of reading them all in order.
This was a very good book that keeps your attention and makes you want to keep reading. It is great for teenage girls, by making them learn and feel better about themselves.
I loved this book. If you just read one you have to read more and more. This series is great for laughs and for emotions. I've read these books for each of my book reports. I also read this series since 4th grade. I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!
I have to admit, i absolutely loved this book. But the end.......It made me feel all sad and stuff.I havent read Go Ask Alice but i have heard alot about it and I always get a sad feeling when i think about it. The end gave a happy book a sad feeling. But the end,end was pretty cool. And im writing a letter to myself to open when im 60 now. And F.Y.I Id be Cali on the 7th grade boys scale.
This book was awesome. I especially liked it because my doctor is very old fashined and so i don't really know what happenes when you get a check-up. this helped me understand better.
This book was really good.If you don't like to be seen in front of other people because your embarissed, this book is definetly for you. Also if you don't like to be seen by a mail doctor you should definetly read this book. If yuor afraid to become the age of 13, because of it's responsibilities this book is made for you.
It was a really good book and it actually is one of the few books that actually understand a seventh graders point of view ,I was really sad sort of in the end with what happened to Denise and didn't really understand how it fit in the book but otherwise this was truly exceptional hope she continues the work!
This is one of my favorite books of all times. I liked it, because I can relate a lot to Alice. I am going through some of the same things. The Alice Series is AWESOME!
Thirteen this is my title for this book because it's about this girl that is in the 7th grade and she's about to turn thirteen. I can really relate to this book becuse im 13 and in the 7th grade too. But thats not the only reasion becuse she goes throgh what a normal 7th grade girl would go thorugh. Alice not only has to but up with the things that go on in school but she has to take care of her dad and her older brother because her mom died when she was only 4 years old and now that she will soon be thirteen she will have to be the woman of the house or thats what her aunt sally tells her. To fine out the real truth read alice and april and you will see that you can relate to alice just like I did!!!
Alice will be thirteen soon, but when Alice's Aunt Sally writes her a letter reminding her that she will be the woman of the house, Alice gets worried. Alice has always depended on her dad or her older brother to take care of her,but since her dads fiftieth birthday is coming up, and she will soon be thirteen, Alice takes full responsibility. What has Alice done, will the party go as planned, or will it be totally ruined............ I enjoed this book because it was suspenseful, just read it.
Of all the Alice books this one has to be my favorite. It is comical/whitty like the others.. but it also teaches a lesson. The ending was excellent; I wouldn't have it any other way. I defenitly recommend this book!

Detection and decision-making in environmental effects monitoring

The majority of environmental effects monitoring (EEM) frameworks that have been proposed compare selected indicator variables as a means of assessing whether significant changes in stressed ecosystems have occurred. Most are deterministic in nature and do not appropriately account for the natural variability and dynamics within the systems being comapred. This suggests that the comparative procedures should be statistically based and immediately raises the issue of whether the selected comparative procedures are to be used as decision-making tools or conclusive procedures. Conclusive procedures require a significant body of evidence before rejecting the postulated null hypothesis. The costs and time involved in environmental data collection accordingly bias action toward the maintenance of a status quo approach to environmental management. if, however, EEM is treated as a decision-making procedure, risk functions that include consideration of type I and II statistical error may be developed and combined with costs to select a minimum expected loss strategy for environemental management. Examples of the interpretative difficulties and conclusion reversal phenomena caused when EEM is used as a conclusive procedure are presented. In addition, risk functions appropriate for environmental management within an EEM context are constructed and applied. Only when such tools are fully developed and applied can EEM expect to have significant impacts on minimizing environmental degradation.

Grandmaster Galaxy
Ads keep the MarioWiki independent and free :)
"Mario...so you were the one who collected all of the scattered stars...I want to thank you...your deeds will live on in the memory of the cosmos..."
The Grandmaster Galaxy is the final galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy 2, located in World S. It is analogous to the Grand Finale Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy because the player must collect all 240 Power Stars to unlock it. It contains two Power Stars: one for completing the level and another one for a second completion under Daredevil Comet conditions. In the latter case, the player gets the Star from Rosalina. This is the only Galaxy where Green Stars do not appear because the player has to collect all of the Green Stars in the game in order to unlock this galaxy.
NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all names are unofficial.
Starting Area[edit]
In the first area, Mario has to use Yoshi to swing on the flower grapples to reach the Launch Star at the end of the area. There are several obstacles along the way, such as Mines and Bullet Bills. Paragoombas appear in The Ultimate Test and are replaced by Choppahs in The Perfect Run. A Toad can also be found on this planet and will shout Yoshi's name when spoken to.
Flipswitch Planet[edit]
After using the Launch Star from the first planet, Mario lands on a planet with Flipswitch Panels. It has a backdrop showing moving sprites of items from Super Mario Bros.. Mario has to activate all 21 Flipswitch Panels while avoiding Sentry Beams to reveal the Launch Star.
Electric Maze Area[edit]
After landing, Mario finds a Cloud Flower and a fan producing an upward gust. Mario has to use the Cloud Flower to maneuver to the Launch Star at the end of the area, with more Cloud Flowers subsequently being supplied along the way. There is also a 1-Up Mushroom at the top left which can be reached using the Cloud Flower.
Platform Planets[edit]
This area contains planets made of Shrinking Tiles and Red-Blue Panels. Octopuses and Sentry Beams are also found in the area. Mario has to avoid all the obstacles in order to successfully reach the Launch Star to the next area at the end of the section.
Pull Star Area[edit]
In the beginning of the area, there are some electrified blocks followed by a long segment of Pull Stars, which Mario must use to reach the Launch Star while avoiding electrical currents, mines, and Paragoombas.
Hammer Bro Planets[edit]
This planet has many Hammer Bros., which Mario must avoid or defeat to reach the other side. There are also Flomps present in this area.
The ending platform has three Boomerang Bros., which Mario must defeat to reveal a Power Star (or a Launch Star in the Daredevil run). Note that defeating the Hammer Bros is not necessary for getting the Power/Launch Star to appear.
The Comet Medal for this galaxy is located on the far right side of these planets, next to some platforms with some torches (as shown on the screenshot). In The Perfect Run, the Comet Medal is replaced with a 1-Up Mushroom.
Gate Planet[edit]
This area is only accessible during The Perfect Run. It is a small planet with a small house and strongly resembles the Gate in Super Mario Galaxy. Rosalina and the final Power Star are found on this planet. There is also a 1-Up Mushroom behind the house. If Mario falls off the planet, he will still lose a life and have to go back to the start.
The Ultimate Test[edit]
This mission is unlocked once the player gets a total of 240 Stars. The player must complete all the various tasks mentioned above. There are checkpoint flags at the beginning of the Electric Maze Area, the Platform Planets, and the Pull Star Area. Throughout the mission, the player can also speak to the Toad Brigade members. This mission, along with the Daredevil Run, is the only time that the Toad Brigade leader is seen sleeping. Yellow Toad is also asleep, and if the player speaks to him, he mumbles about Star Bits, giving the player a hint on how to unlock the final mission.
The Perfect Run[edit]
The Prankster Comet for this galaxy is unlocked when the player collects the galaxy's Comet Medal and deposits 9,999 Star Bits to the Banktoad.
The player must redo the The Ultimate Test mission, but under Daredevil Comet conditions. There aren't any Checkpoint Flags in this mission and, in the first area, the Paragoombas have been replaced with Choppahs and more mines have been added. Additionally, after defeating the Boomerang Bros. at the end of the level, rather than the Power Star appearing, a Launch Star appears that takes the player to the Gate-like planet where the Power Star and Rosalina are located.
Names in other languages[edit]

FIFA delegates have dealt a crushing blow to moves to bring in term limits and age limits for officials - effectively giving the green light to president Sepp Blatter to stand for a fifth term in office next year.
UEFA and a number of European federations, including the Football Association, had proposed bringing in limits but that was defeated in a vote at FIFA's Congress in Sao Paulo.
The decision leaves the way open for 78-year-old Blatter to stay in office next year - and for many years beyond.
Blatter faced calls from FA chairman Greg Dyke and a number of senior European members on Tuesday to keep to his 2011 pledge and step down next year, but he has made it clear to FIFA's 209 member nations that he intends to stand again.
Meanwhile, FIFA's ethics investigator insists he has had access for some time to the "vast majority" of documents which have been the basis for fresh allegations of corruption involving the world governing body's officials.
US attorney Michael Garcia also issued a veiled threat to officials such as Franz Beckenbauer who refused to co-operate with the investigation into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups that they could face "real penalties".
The Sunday Times has published a number of allegations about payments made to officials, many from Africa, authorised by the now-banned former FIFA member Mohamed Bin Hammam which the newspaper has claimed was to boost support for Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid.
Garcia told the FIFA Congress in Sao Paulo: "Recently there have been assertions about what material I will or will not consider.
"No one should assume what information we have or do not have - we have reviewed the documents and the vast majority has been available to us for some time, well before the recent wave of news report."Reuse content

HOT Iron ?
After being powered up for an hour or so, how hot should an output transformer get? Can't keep my palm down on my early 60's Scott for more than 3 or 4 seconds.
Thanks again, Ed
Re: HOT Iron ?
I don't know if it is the case, I hope I might help.
So... based on the 3 or 4 second statement above, does that sound too hot to you? I've got 122v here... Thanks for your input Wavebourn.
Cheers, Ed
Most of mine get that hot, at least on the store bought stuff.
a quick fix is to slap a thermistor or two on the transformer's primary winding. dual benefit: slow start, and a bit of a dropped voltage :)
Power trannies usually run warm/hot..
Output Transformers,IME,Don't usually run HOT,or even very warm... you might want to check the bias and whatnot,and make sure the amp isn't oscillating.
Hi Ed,
You did say and mean output transformer? I concur with DigitalJunkie. An output transformer should not run very hot, even after many hours of operation. Most of their heat comes from what is absorbed from the nearby tubes and power transformer. If you can't keep your hand on it for more then a few seconds, it's up around 125º F or more. And that's too hot. Do scope the output for ultrasonic oscillation.
Hi Vespasian ,
OUTPUT TRANSFORMER dont run hot , by itself .
You need to check at least 4 points :
1) If the power amplifier is oscillating ( as said above )
Use a scope .
2) If you have a biasing problem ( as said above )
Check the values
3) Check the negative feedback network ( capacitors ,
resistors , etc.)
4) You probably have a defective output transformer
( a short circuit between two or more turns , in the
primary and / or in the secondary windings )
Two months ago I had a similar problem with my clients
SCOTT 240 and the solution , was to rewire the output trans-
former .
I hope it helps the troubleshooting . Regards ,
Oops... I misread, it is about output transformer. Too much bass too loud may cause the similar effect.
Thanks everyone, - both output transformers are running hot. The amp is using 7591's. Could someone give me a step by step on how to properly set the bias? There are two pots for dc bias, and I simpy have them set so the voltage difference between the plates is 0v. The plates are at about 435 and grids are around -17, -18v. Don't have a scope...

An overcast day with the sun peaking through the clouds at times greeted Oregon State for the opening of spring camp. RB Patrick Fuller rejoined the team while Keith Robertson, Joe Halahuni and Walker Vave among others practiced for the first time.
WR Anthony Brown dropped the "Wheat" in his last name and will be just Anthony Brown.
As expected, DE Jeff Van Orsow and LG Jeremy Perry sat out, but were on the sidelines instructing their teammates. WR Matt Sieverson and WR Casey Kjos, as expected, also sat out. TE Gabe Miller participated in some drills, but not the scrimmages. LB Derrick Doggett (back spasms) and OT Roy Schuening (hamstring) did not participate, but are expected back shortly.
Keenan Lewis, Bryan Payton and Keaton Kristick all had interceptions, all thrown by Lyle Moevao.
OT Michael Cole was expected to be in spring camp, but will not be in Corvallis until the fall.
Overall, the practice went very smooth for the first of the month.

- Riley says -
"It was a good start today. With the number of returners we have we can hit the ground running and somewhat make it look like football. We ended the season with some momentum and we just need to utilize that and keep things going."

Governance News — 26 November 2013 - .PDF file.
Governance News from Minter Ellison summarises the top headlines in corporate governance this week.
A new report by Macquarie Equities shows stronger returns for companies whose directors hold shares than for companies whose boards are without 'skin in the game'. Other research reported on this week indicates that Australian directors have more confidence in the government but red tape remains a concern; optimal board tenure may be nine years; and there are important differences in the composition of boards depending upon a company's stage in the corporate lifecycle.
Also, there have been further developments on the issue of board gender diversity, with the chief executive officers of Aurizon, Super Retail Group and Bank of Queensland giving their support to the Male Champions of Change campaign; Germany set to introduce a legislative quota for women on boards; and the European Parliament voting in favour of a draft law designed to improve the gender balance on listed company boards…

In my professional opinion no, they don't work.
Siance - dont know if you would agree, but weak glutes and hip abductors can (I think) be a cause....or at least contribute to IT band problems. THerefore work on strengthening them, and lots of stretching.
Non-professional opinion.
I have glutes of steel, and can crack walnus with them!
*pops head round thread*
has Nick got his nut cracker out again??
I also did the roller, ice and strengthening thing. 6 weeks with no running, a very gentle ramp back up and it worked for me. No problem with the ITB since. Although it does still get a little tight if I slacken off the exercises or stretches for a couple of weeks. I just cut back on a run or two and make sure I do the roller properly and it's fine again.
I went to see a physio recently though for an achilles problem and was told that I was a neutral runner with no underlying imbalances so no need for orthotics for me.
I would recommend trying the roller, rest etc first. If that doesn't work then go to a physio and get yourself checked over to see if there's any underlying imbalances that need further investigation.
Hope you find a solution soon.
John good luck with the advice, if it doesnt work go see a physio/osteo/ chiropracter who either runs or know about running. They can tell you if you have a long leg, unbalanced muscle problems, odd gait etc. Sorry Last Place but that method is very unreliable. Everyone has wonky shoulders as we all have a dominant side with more muscle bulk.
Good luck x
Patt Strap helped for me and made running less painful but it is not a cure.
Strengthening hip flexors and glutes seems to have solved my probelms as well as regulalr streteching and use of a foam roller to keep the band loose.
As others have mentioned your best bet is to see a physio who can find out where your problems lie. There can be lots of causes for itbs so your best off seeking professional advice.
Hi guys, i've been having similar problems since early October, think it was the culmination of increasing the intensity, and not having a great summer (in terms of getting miles under the belt). I eased off almost completely...and its not as bad as it was, although with these things paranoia, and everything gets the better of me...is it my trainers? style? just doing too much? with races in the new year fast approaching it needs to be narrowed down. Have had 2 physio sessions, and he did say it was the IT band that is definately the problem, but suggested I find the cause of theproblem before trying to do too much strengthening exercises...
Doesn't help that originally, i was told by a specialist running store that I need some stability trainer (New Balance 768s was what i used), then after running Paris in April this year i thought lets try and do some more gait analysis (maybe not a great idea) but then I was recommended to run in neutral New Balance 1076s...i'm off to the running shop today, and see if they can see anything unusual...and tell me which they think is best....hopefully they don't just try to sell me a pair of trainers.
Will also see if those orthotics make a difference...it'll be a small price to pay if it rectifys the problem, so far my winter running schedule has been non existent
thanks for the opportunity for letting me rant...

Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Installed in two bedrooms. Happy with product.
Outstanding quality and appearance.
The fan has been installed in my small kitchen. It works and looks perfectly. Pull chains created an "old fashioned" look and seemed to be too low for my kitchen so I had them removed. The wall switch operates the fan. Overall, good quality item. It's worth the price.
Great fan, very pleased with it. I had it professionally installed so for me that wasn't an issue. I think it looks beautiful and works great. I put it in my kitchen and I soon will have it in my dinning room (I bought 2 but only one has been installed so far).
Great fan, looks beautiful. Bought 2, one for the kitchen and one for the dining room. Very pleased with this purchase.
Great for apartments & homes
We have this fan in all three of our bedrooms. Our ceilings are about 8' high so the low profile is great. These fans are easy to install, are quiet and well balanced - little to no wobbling.
The Casa Habitat fans look great in my bedrooms and they're so quiet. Can't wait for summer to return so I can enjoy them. The only improvement I can think of is to make the hole in the middle of the mounting plate where the wires go through just a bit bigger so it's easier to push the wires and wire nuts through. If you're thinking about getting this fan, you won't be disappointed.
Easy installation, quiet, moves air well, reasonably attractive. Unfortuately cannot be used with a wireless remote, that would be a nice addition to its capabilities.
I needed a fan in a small area and this is exactly what I needed.
It is so nice to have the air circulating on those hot summer nights. Helps sleeping!
I use this fan in my family room. I don't have to use the A/C for the whole house if I'm in the family room. It cools the room very fast and the lighting is great. I had a professional electrician install the fan which I suggest if you are not an experienced DIY type of person. The cost of the fan was very reasonable.
Please see my video review: http://youtu.be/xpJp4ie8q_kImages/Videos shared by: STN12
It's perfect in our basement. We turned it into a studio apartment for when we can't go up and down the stairs any more.
We had fan installed by Lamps Plus electricians. They were helpful and did the job fast and very neat. Worth the money.

Dear friends,
Last week I participated in a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing addressing the creation of health insurance exchanges and their treatment by the IRS. The creation of health insurance exchanges under the president's health care law has been a popular topic with a lot of complicated details. Last week's testimony outlined clear differences between an exchange willingly created by a state and one created under the president's health care mandate. I hope that including part of that testimony here will lift some of the fog.
My concern has always been with what Obamacare erroneously calls a state exchange. Our witness last week gave clear answers to my questions and truly validated my concerns with the implementation of a state health exchange under the president's mandate. In a true state health care exchange, the state tailors insurance options to the needs of a state's population and is not subject to federal regulation on the type of insurance residents can access. Under Obamacare, hundreds of billions of federal dollars will flow through so-called "state exchanges." When the feds control the money, they control the product.
Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the non-partisan Cato Institute, offered testimony before the OGR Committee. I first asked if an exchange created under the Obamacare mandate is a true state exchange.
"No, the statute requires that every state-created exchange get approval from the [Health and Human Services] secretary," Cannon said. "The statue gives the secretary the authority to heap whatever regulations the secretary wants onto the state created exchanges. So it really is a myth that states would retain some sovereignty, retain some control over their health insurance markets if they create their own exchanges, because whatever the secretary could impose on a state through an exchange the federal government created, the secretary could also impose on an exchange created through [Obamacare]."
To follow up I asked why a state might choose to forego the state exchange and allow for a federal exchange.
"Well if what you want is a federally run health insurance exchange in your state--a government agency controlling the private health insurance market--if what you want is the federal government to control your state, the best thing you can do is establish an exchange," Cannon answered. "If the state does not establish an exchange then there might not be an exchange at all because we all know there is no funding to create these exchanges, and it's not likely that Congress is going to approve [any]."
Cannon concluded: "But the choice is not between a state controlled exchange and a federally controlled exchange, it's between a federally controlled exchange and maybe none."
I asked also about the $2,000 per employee penalty that will be levied on employers in states that create their own exchanges under Obamacare. I was curious if those tax liabilities would be imposed on employers for states that refuse to set up exchanges under the mandate.
Cannon answered that "The penalties against employers would not apply in a state that does not create its own exchanges."
The ultimate decision to establish a state exchange under the president's mandate is up to Governor Otter and the Idaho Legislature. What I hope all Idahoans understand is that doing so leaves the ultimate power with the federal government. This committee hearing confirmed my initial concerns with a federally mandated and federally regulated "state' exchange. This is exactly why I am asking Governor Otter and the Legislature to be cautious when considering the introduction of a state exchange in Idaho.

I Have Never Been More Scared in My Entire LifeMature
After Nancy had told everyone that she was pregnant, she put the stick down on the table and ran upstairs, "I should go talk to her," Andrew stood up.
"No, you sit down, Angie go talk to her," Allison said. Angie got up from the table and went upstairs. "How did this happen?"
"I'm going to guess they…," Alex began.
"We don't need your help, Alex," Aaron said to his son. "Now, Andrew, are you sure she is pregnant?"
"She took two different pregnancy tests, like a day or two apart, and they were both positive," no one spoke after Andrew had said this. It just got very silent. "I know, you guys probably think we are stupid, but we didn't mean for this to happen!"
"We know what you are going through. You are scared, confused, upset, but yet happy, all at the same time. It's a very scary thing to have children in high school. Your mother and I would know," Aaron tried to calm Andrew. "Maybe you should go talk to Nancy, and then the four of us can discuss this tomorrow."
Andrew said nothing; he just stood up from the table and went upstairs. He found Nancy and Angie in Angie's room. Angie was sitting on the bed, and Nancy was lying next to Angie with her head in her best friend's lap. "Hey, babe," Andrew said as he knelt down on the ground next the bed.
"Your parents hate me now, don't they? They aren't going to want me to stay here with you guys," Nancy was sobbing by this point.
"They are surprisingly taking it very well. Well, my dad is taking it way better than my mom, but she will get over it. She had Alex when she was sixteen, then me and Angie when she was eighteen."
"But we are fourteen. I'm going to be giving birth to this baby at fifteen years old, Andrew."
"It's only a year younger than my mom was when she had my brother. Look, Angie, do you care if I sleep next to Nancy on your floor tonight?"
"I wouldn't care, but what about mom and dad?" Angie answered.
"I'll go ask. It shouldn't be a big deal, I mean, you are going to be in there," Andrew got up off the floor and headed out the door, closing it quietly behind him.
"Angie, I'm really sorry about all of this," Nancy said.
"Sorry? You don't have to be sorry; it's not your… total and complete fault. I mean, part of it was my brother," Angie said.
"That's not what I mean. I meant for even dating him. You and I were closer than ever! We talked about everything! We talked about which guys we thought would most likely be better kissers than others, and we told each other we would share the moment of our first kisses together, and since mine was with your twin brother, you didn't want to know. We could still be best friends, and tell each other everything if I hadn't started dating Andrew."
"Nancy, I'm happy for you guys. Andrew was always little mister miserable until he started dating you! And after your dad died, I thought you would never be happy again! But then I saw the look on your face when Andrew was around, so I didn't mind. All I wanted was for my brother and best friend to be happy. I love you, Nancy, you know that!"
"Aw, I love you too, Angie!" Nancy and Angie hugged, and then Andrew walked in with his pillows and blankets. "I'm going to say that it was a yes."
"Yeah, Dad said yes, Mom didn't want me to," Andrew explained. Then he laid his blankets down on the floor of his sister's room, next to Nancy's stuff.
"Okay, night you guys. Can someone shut my light off?" Angie asked.
Nancy shut the light off, and then laid down on the floor, next to Andrew. After Angie and Nancy had fallen asleep, Andrew decided to get up and go outside for a late night walk around the yard. It was about two in the morning, and to his surprise, his parents were still awake. He could hear them bickering in their bedroom. "I told you I didn't want them to sleep in the same room, Aaron," Allison protested.
"Do you think they would be stupid enough to do anything when we are home? Besides Angie is in the room with them," Aaron assured his wife.
"If I thought any of my kids would be having kids of there own right now it would at least be Alex. He's the age we were when he was born. I'm thirty-two years old. Do you think that's old enough to be a grandma?"
"Andrew is a responsible boy, Allison."
"Yeah, who had a lot going for him! He's in all kinds of sports, and he's throwing that all away! He's a straight A student, Aaron. He always has been. And what about college?"
"Let's let him finish high school before we start talking about college."
"Is he going to even be able to finish high school, Aaron? It was hard enough for me to raise a child and do my high school work at sixteen! Just imagine how hard it's going to be for them. I quit high school because I got pregnant with Angie and Andrew. I don't want him to quit, Aaron."
"He's not going to quit, Allison. Can we go to sleep and talk about this in the morning?"
"How can I sleep knowing that my son, my fourteen year old son, is going to be a father? What are we going to do with the baby? The hospital called and said they don't think Hailey is going to make it. Then Kayla and Sam are going to have to come and live with us. That's our four kids, then Richard's five! And if Nancy's mom doesn't let her come back then that's already ten. It's hard enough with seven. And none of them are babies. Babies cry in the middle of the night, constantly, and for hours! We can't have that. Everyone would be awake."
"Allison, we are going to get through this together; as a family. We can't just abandon our son, his girlfriend and our grandchild. I'm done talking about this. It's almost two-thirty in the morning. You need to get some rest."
"I can't sleep! My baby is going to be a daddy." Andrew couldn't help but want to talk to his parents. He finally got up the courage to knock on their bedroom door. "Come in," Allison said.
Andrew poked his head in the door, "I heard you guys talking and I kind of know it was about me, so I wanted to join, if you don't mind," Andrew said. Aaron and Allison said nothing to Andrew. So he kept talking, "Nancy and I went to a party. We were the only two that didn't drink that night. We found a quiet room where no one was at, and well, things just kind of happened. I know it's stupid, we shouldn't have done that. But on the plus side, we didn't get drunk like the rest of the people there."
"If people were drinking you should have came home, not… well you know," Allison said.
"I know. But you have to understand, I have never been more scared in my entire life. And I know that a lot of people will be living here and already are living here, but I want to keep this baby, and so does Nancy. I will start working now, and save up all my money for an apartment if I have to, but I will not give my child up."
"Then I guess you should go and get a newspaper, because you aren't staying here with a baby," Allison got up out of her bed and went into the kitchen.
"Dad, is she really going to kick us out? Is she seriously going to be like my grandparents and Kimberly?" Andrew asked.
"I won't let her kick you out, son. Now go and get some rest," Aaron said.

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 10: Kerala government has drawn up a plan to install GPS and CCTV cameras in public transport vehicles to ensure women's safety in view of the Centre's direction in this regard post the Delhi gang rape case.
Besides the public transport vehicles, the Motor Vehicles Department is planning to install the tracking system in all registered vehicles including school buses, vans, lorries and auto rickshaws. A senior official of the department said the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has been entrusted with the development of a software in this regard.
In the first phase, GPS would be installed in vehicles while CCTV cameras in the later phase. All Regional Transport offices would have control rooms and a master control room would be opened in the state capital to monitor the procedures, he said.
"We are making our own software and plan to operate on our own server to ensure effective mechanism. We have plans to install the tracking system in all registered vehicles in the long run. But, in the initial phase, it will be installed only in selected vehicles due to technical difficulties," he said.
Not only crimes against women, but traffic rules violations including overspeed could be controlled with the installation of GPS, he said. Introduction of GPS-based auto-fare metre is also on the cards for auto rickshaws, the official said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Clay County grand jury indicted three people Thursday for the murder of a Navy commander.
Cmdr. Alphonso Doss was found strangled in a motel in Orange Park in February.
Doss's estranged wife Yolinda, along with Ronnie Wilson and Anthony Washington, will face first-degree murder and aggravated burglary charges.
Prosecutors say Yolinda served as a lookout in the parking lot while the two men killed Doss.
