Cozumel clocktower.
Cozumel will put the clocks back an hour in 3 weekends' time, along with the rest of Mexico.
However, the clocks don't change in the U.S.A. and Canada until a week later, so there will be 7 days when the island is one hour behind Central Time and two hours behind Eastern Time.
This is especially important for cruise ship passengers, as their ship time may be an extra hour ahead of local island time when they arrive.
Different cruise lines have different ways of deciding what time their cruise ships take.
Carnival and Royal Caribbean (RCCL) cruise ships, for example, usually go with the time of their homeport and stick with it, whereas Norwegian cruise ships change their onboard time during the voyage, to match the local port they are arriving to.
The itineraries they give passengers display ship times, so cruisers should remember this isn't necessarily the same as Cozumel time.
Changes to and from Daylight Savings Time in Mexico, and the U.S.A. and Canada are always slightly out of sync, which creates a few weeks in the spring and fall of each year when the time difference is more than usual.
Proposals have started their way through the Mexican parliament that would put Cozumel and Cancun permanently on the same time zone as Florida, but they have stalled and it is not clear if or when they will be approved.
If you're visiting soon on a cruise and are confused, don't worry! Here's a quick reference guide to help you work out what time it is...
Find out about Cozumel tours for cruise ship passengers or more about Cozumel cruises and cruise lines in general.
Disclaimer: we confirmed this information at the time of writing but cruise lines may change their policies and reserve the right to change ship schedules, so please use this information as a guide only and check with your cruise line or listen for announcements once onboard your ship if you want to be sure.

Labour failed to improve its standing with the public despite "winning" the battle between the parties at their annual conferences in the past month.
The Independent's latest "poll of polls" shows that Labour did not increase its 37 per cent average rating, even though Ed Miliband set the political agenda by pledging a 20-month freeze in energy prices if his party wins power.
The Conservatives' rating rose by one point to 33 per cent, reducing Labour's lead from five to four points, continuing a downward trend since it enjoyed a nine-point advantage at the start of this year.
Mr Miliband did secure a bounce in his personal ratings after the Labour conference, at which his party's strategists set out to strengthen his "brand". But John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, who compiled the "poll of polls," said this had only turned Mr Miliband's performance rating from "dire" to "poor". He still has a negative net approval score of about minus 30 points, down from minus-46 points before the conference, according to YouGov.
Professor Curtice said: "The public are still far from regarding him as someone whom they regard as a potential prime minister. Mr Miliband needs to capitalise on the apparent success of his conference speech rather than allow it to dissipate, as he did last year."
Although he said Mr Miliband might be helped by his row with the Daily Mail after it branded his late father "The Man Who Hated Britain," he said such an effect was likely to last only a short time in the public's memory.
"Changing the public's perceptions will not be easy. No opposition leader whose ratings have been as relentlessly negative as Mr Miliband's have been within months of taking over, has managed to turn his personal ratings around," said Professor Curtice.
If repeated at a general election, the latest figures would give Labour 345 seats, the Conservatives 254, the Liberal Democrats 24 and other parties 27. Although Labour would enjoy an overall majority of 40, some of the party's MPs are worried that a bigger cushion is needed to withstand the pressure of an election campaign.
Professor Curtice said: "It seems that for all its apparent success in making political waves, his party's conference has not repaired this summer's damage to its poll ratings, leaving it with a lead that is still well short of what historical precedent suggests should be enjoyed by an opposition that the public has come to regard as an alternative government."
Despite the good headlines won by Labour, Professor Curtice concluded: "This may prove to be another conference season that fails to make much impression on the electoral battle."
Labour sources insisted the party had made real progress during the past month, having illustrated its "One Nation" slogan and campaign on the "cost of living crisis" with a hard policy on energy prices that had been noticed by the public and proved highly popular.
Although Nick Clegg was considered to have had a good Liberal Democrat conference, his party remained flat on 11 per cent over the past month. So did the UK Independence Party, despite a shambolic conference overshadowed by Godfrey Bloom, an MEP, referring to women as "sluts."
The decision by MPs to defeat David Cameron over British military action in Syria failed to make an impact on the parties' standing.
"Labour's summer slump remained in evidence while the Tory recovery from the depths to which the party had fallen earlier this year remains in place," said Professor Curtice.Reuse content

Materials Efficiency & Waste Minimisation
- Our roofing tiles are made from raw materials predominantly found in nature: sand, water, clay and iron oxide pigments
- We constantly improve our recipes and production practices to reduce the general consumption of these raw materials
- We use natural colours for our roofing tiles. The pigments to colour our tiles are found in natural stone such as Hematite, Magnetite and Goethite
- We use natural materials for our glazes and engobes, such as special clay, pre-melted glass or pigments. All our glazes are of course lead free
- We use gas instead of fossil oils to fire our kilns
- The waste water from our production processes is recycled and re-used in manufacturing. We have also installed water treatment plants and/or settlement lagoons at plants to ensure that any water runoff is correctly treated before it enters any water courses
- Our Cambrian Slates are manufactured using waste slate from Welsh quarries as the main component (minimum 60%). Furthermore, our Cambrian plant has reduced its reject rate, with less than 1% of total raw materials going to landfill
waste minimisation
- We recycle wet material in all of our tile production processes and aim to reduce the amount of dry waste
- We use biologically degradable substances as parting agents for tile moulds, replacing those containing mineral oils
- We are working towards recycling Polymer coatings at all our concrete plants where used
- We re-use old aluminium pallets, on which we make our tiles, by melting and recycling them as raw material
Environmentally friendly packaging materials have been developed in co-operation with our customers and suppliers. We aim to use recyclable materials and consume less by recycling packaging materials.
- We annually review our packaging and the energy used to wrap our products to reduce the tonnage used
- Supplier packaging is recycled wherever possible
- We have also introduced a wooden pallet returns system where our customers are encouraged to return the pallets on which our products are packaged. These are then reused for future product packaging. We currently reuse over 100,000 pallets per year
end of life recycling
The use of natural raw materials, environmentally friendly production processes and supply chain optimisation is only one part of the story. The quality, durability and functionality of our products are also a tribute to the environment. Here is how we ensure our products contribute to a sustainable future.
- All our concrete tiles can be recycled for use as aggregate in building applications such as roads and paths, and all our plastic components are also fully recyclable
- Clay tiles can be reused
Consistently producing high quality products requires great attention to detail and continuous effort, especially in the production process. From raw material selection to project site delivery, Braas Monier takes pride in its production processes, as they are the excellent result of collaboration within our worldwide industrial network. Braas Monier plants across the globe continually work to fine-tune and improve even the smallest steps in our production processes, which translates into higher quality products and better value for the consumer.

Kearny-Fuchida Drive
Sarna News
The driving force behind the initial colonization of the Inner Sphere, the Kearny-Fuchida Drive was named after the two professors, Thomas Kearny and Takayoshi Fuchida who theorized of the ability to warp space to allow for quick travel over more than two dozen light years. Although the two scientists put forward their theories beginning in 2018, their theories were ridiculed for decades. It was only after their deaths that they were vindicated when the Deimos Project "jumped" the first JumpShip from Sol's zenith jump point to its nadir jump point in 2107.[1] A year later, the TAS Pathfinder made the first manned, interstellar "jump" to Tau Ceti, where they confirmed the findings of the slower-than-light Magellan probes: Tau Ceti had a habitable planet, later named New Earth.[1]
The creation of the Kearny-Fuchida Drive was the only reason that extensive colonization of the Inner Sphere took place. Without it, there would not have been any BattleTech universe.
The Kearny-Fuchida Drive is manufactured on the following planets:

Tackling youth unemployment worldwide represents one of the biggest challenges of our time. Currently, two out of five young people are either unemployed or underemployed. In the Arab Mediterranean Countries (AMCs), in particular, millions of young men and women find themselves out of a job, with youth unemployment rates reaching 32% in 2014, more than doubling the global average of 14%.
While there are several factors behind such high levels of youth unemployment, including growing demographics, fast urbanisation, political, economic, and social trends, one that stands out is the fact that education, particularly in the AMCs, does not necessarily lead to employment.
Written by Ana Martiningui, Research and Communications Manager at Education For Employment Europe (EuropEFE) under the SAHWA Project, this Handbook aims to help address the AMCs' youth unemployment crisis by providing some guidelines for practitioners working or wishing to work on youth unemployment in the region. It explores national and international initiatives and provides an overview of the labour market situation in Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia. It also includes a comprehensive, practical factbook and a directory of the main actors in education and employment in each country that can serve as a focal point for practitioners in these countries.

The USA's place in the world
In the run up to the American presidential election, we present a special edition of The Forum from the Aspen Festival of Ideas. How do Americans think their place in the world is changing? Does the United States still see itself as the most powerful player in the world? With a unique leadership position? Or is it in retreat, its influence on the world shrinking?
Bridget Kendall is joined by a former senior advisor to President Bush, Richard Haass, who thinks US foreign policy should rely less on military force. Anne-Marie Slaughter, former senior advisor on President Obama's foreign policy team, argues America's greatest asset is its place as a central node in the global network. We also hear from New York Times columnist David Brooks. He argues America is still pre-eminent, not least because other countries are even less popular than the USA.

Summer Wines
July 9, 2014
Reviews of some enjoyable value-priced summer wines.
The US is now the world's leader in wine consumption. The latest figures show that Americans enjoyed 329 million cases of wine in 2013, an 18% increase over 2005. This easily put the US past the traditional European frontrunners including Italy and France. The US also bettered China which recently was the fastest growing market for wine. There are likely numerous reasons for the steady growth of the US wine market. The growing availability of value-priced, flavorful wines, combined with imaginative marketing which has made wine appear less mysterious and elitist have certainly contributed to the growing wine culture in the US. While there are those who can easily shell out hundreds of dollars for a bottle, nearly 90% of the wine sold in the US costs less than $12. As long as wineries keep making good, inexpensive wines, the outlook for the continuing growth of the US market remains positive.


text: May 1 6:42 PM CT Email Print Comments13 By Calvin Watkins The three-day NFL Draft is over and now it's time for the lockout to continue. We have some random thoughts from the three days. 1. One common theme from the Cowboys draft is Jason Garrett liked the four players who were team captains in college. It means a few things: The players are respected in their own locker rooms, understand the meaning of leadership and produce on the field. The last few draft classes under Wade Phillips didn't really have a bunch of players who provided leadership. Tashard Choice stepped up several times, but where were Felix Jones, Anthony Spencer among others? 2. Garrett said it best on Saturday afternoon when it was noted he wanted competition at all positions (wonder what Martellus Bennett thinks about that?). The Cowboys are adding competition at fullback, wide receiver and the tackle spots. It was good to see Marc Colombo say he will fight for his gig, but it's doubtful the team will keep him around. Sam Young now has a chance to move up and become the swing tackle unless project Jermey Parnell or seventh-round selection Bill Nagy come through.

All one can say about this animated feature is thank God for myxomatosis. The book is another matter: once you've got past fey footnotes explaining that rabbits can count up to five, Richard Adams presents a good solid story, ingeniously and effectively told from the rabbit's minuscule perspective. Had the original director John Hubley been allowed to persevere, maybe some of the virtues would have remained; but as rejigged by producer Martin Rosen , there is nothing. The 'camera' takes a conventionally objective viewpoint, perpetually rolling over rolling countryside, which effectively robs the plot of all its terror and tension. And the bunnies are a crudely drawn, charmless bunch, with the final nail provided by the soundtrack's famous voices, who help turn the film into a radio play.

The 5 stars are for the film 'Watership Down', not the critic. Critics like GB tend to forget Hubley's style did not go beyond iconic abstraction (Gerald McBoing-Boing, Moonbird, Rooty Toot Toot); excellent for the mythic beginning of 'Watership Down' but not realistic enough for what the rest of the story demanded. If Martin Rosen's wisely chosen natural character designs are considered "crude" by this critic, then I can only say designs by Hubley would have seemed even more crude to a theater audience expecting something more lush than a limited TV animation style. 'Watership Down' was one of the best animated films to come out of the late '70's, bravely mixing environmental and spiritual themes while not condescending to children about the grim realities of life in the wild. This film is for children 8 yrs & up but definitely NOT for young toddlers. It is fairly faithful to the epic novel as much as an over hour & a half film can be. The music of 'Watership Down' stands among the best soundtracks in the history of animated film, thanks to composer Angela Morley. 'Watership Down' has, officially or unofficially, become the 'Bambi' of Generation X & beyond. This was why animation legend Chuck Jones bought much of the art from this movie as he could before he died. He knew a modern classic when he saw it.

I'm looking for a good left-handed small-of-back holster for a Sig P238. I'm curvy (female) so I have no luck with most traditional options as the gun butt digs painfully into my side. Alas, I am having difficulty finding SOB holsters for this gun, which surprises me as it's a popular one. (It fits my tiny hands perfectly!).
Can anyone recommend a good holster of this type? Failing that I can also try dropped offset, but either I can't find a P238 holster or they're RH only.

When you say SOB carry, do you mean a palm in or palm out draw?
Black Arch Holsters
SHTF Gear is now Black Arch Holsters
Palm out is more comfortable, but palm in is an option if I can't find any of that type.
Uh, not telling you your business, but I carried SOB for awhile.
And it sucked.
When you sit, your shirt rides up, so when you stand it catches on the gun. There you go down the sidewalk with your gun on display. Everybody sees it but you. And speaking of sitting, it is a royal pain the the, well, you get it. Literally. The gun will dig into your spine. You pretty much have to take it off to drive. And if you have to draw, all a guy has to do is grab your elbow and you're outta business.
If you must carry that way, then that's how it is. I don't know if Galco's SOB is offered LH. I think High Noon could make you one, but it will be expensive, as custom holsters tend to be. Alessi might offer them, and I'm not sure about TT Gunleather, or Skip Ritchie. UBG may also offer them.
I'm pretty sure Milt Sparks doesn't build a SOB holster, but believe that Mitch Rosen does.
But I do know that Kramer Leather offers holsters specifically for women, something to do with the differences in torso length and the ribcage. May want to look them up.
Or try appendix carry.
Hmm, I'll have to look into some of those. My problem is that I'm curvier than a lot of women, both in body shape and the fact that I'm not exactly slim (but not awful-looking either). I know SOB isn't the best option, but I'm pretty limited. :( I wear a tucked in t-shirt and would wear a light jacket over it to hide the gun.
What dropped offset options might there be? I have a pretty high waistline and when I wear a light jacket it easily covers the spot where a dropped holster would go on me. I've looked into a few, but mostly been tripped up by the lack of leftie options for those.
I'll look into TT and Mitch Rosen first since I've heard good things about them.
One of the best SOBs is the one that Elite Systems, nee Assault Systems, puts out. Their size 2 will fit your pistol; it's available in left hand. Don't let the apparent fabric construction fool you; it's highly engineered (by yours truly) to do everything a leather holster will do -- and more. Tell them Red Nichols sent you, ask for the CurvyLady discount; 100% money-back guarantee under this program.
Here's the link:
Palm out is how most actors who don't know what they're doing do when they SOB. They also usually do it without a holster. It really shocks me (or doesn't) how often you see this in both real life and in the media.
Palm in (like above post) is surely the way to go if you have to SOB. More ergonomic draw and you don't drag your sights and hammer along your possibly snaggable clothing, nor do you have to turn your wrist as you come across your side. The grip facing your center line also hides easier with the deep cant configuration. And you only need to get your thumb in between your body and the pistol to draw, as opposed to all four of your fingers which could be an issue if the grip is tight against your back.

While the acceleration of hardware has been a landmark of progress in computing technology in the past few decades, the computing enhancements that it provides is dwarfed by the increase in speed, performance, and robustness resulting from new algorithms.
As a point in case, the status of hardware and algorithms in 1970 allowed to compute an optimal tour of a traveling salesman (a classical optimization problem and accepted benchmark for computing power) through 120 cities. Increasing the number of cities from n to n+1 leads to a multiplicative increase of the number of possible tours by a factor of n. Thus, relying only on the increase of hardware speed, with today's technology, and the algorithms of 1970 we could find optimal tours among only 135 cities. It is the progress in algorithms that, today, enables us to find optimal tours between many thousand of cities. Relying only on progress in hardware this performance would not be achievable in hundreds of years.
The Max-Planck Institute for Informatics is devoted to cutting-edge research in informatics with a focus on algorithms and their applications in a broad sense.

In the beginning there was one man, one plot. And that plot had one purpose: cultivation by the occupier for himself and his family, as the 1922 Allotments Act put it. With their neat rows of vegetables, forests of beanpoles and rusting, corrugated huts, little plots in their thousands fed generations of Britain's urban poor.
But those old certainties are gone, and allotments are now under threat as never before. They are vanishing fast as councils sell off sites to developers; allotment land has halved in the past 30 years. Urgently needed laws to protect them have not materialised. And the allotment culture itself is split by infighting, as the traditionalists clash with newcomers, for whom allotments are not just a food source but a new way of living.
Fewer and fewer people are growing their own food. The National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners has lost 27,000 members - more than a quarter - since 1995. Sites lie derelict everywhere, though some places have long waiting lists, and allotments have a poor image. The movement is not dead, but it is ailing.
The new political gardeners see themselves as its salvation. For them, allotments - with their roots in the anti-enclosure movement - need to be re-politicised to meet the needs of communities. Organic gardening, permaculture, shared plots, new, exotic crops often grown by ethnic minorities, and alternative uses such as community gardens could reconnect urban people to the land. But the activists say an ageing establishment resists these ideas, hiding behind archaic rules.
"This generation are re-learning gardening, informed by hippie culture, which includes permaculture and organic gardening," says Sophie Andrews, allotments spokesperson for Friends of the Earth. "The old guard don't understand us activists, because we're middle class and they're not. It's the red/green split."
There have been cases of organic gardeners and permaculturists being resented by their neighbours, having their plots vandalised or being driven out altogether. There has been resistance to community use by older tenants, whom newcomers accuse of being individualistic and selfish.
"The national society is increasingly unrepresentative of allotment holders," Andrews says. "It wants to hold on to power without knowing what to do with it."
"Absolutely not," says Alan Rees, chair of the national society. "We are not afraid of change. We want allotments used for community use. Whether people garden organically is up to individuals, not the national society. We are desperately trying to protect land so people who want to garden can do so, yet people say nasty things about us." In 1998, part of the society broke away and formed the United Community Horticultural Association.
Where activists and the society part company is over direct action to protect allotments. When the direct action organisation The Land is Ours wanted to occupy threatened allotment sites, the society refused to take part. "These people break the law," Rees says. "We cannot be associated with them. Personally, I have stood in front of a JCB, but the national society could not be seen to do something illegal."
B oth sides agree new laws are needed. The government has not acted on the recommendations of a 1988 all-party committee which called for action to protect sites and an overhaul of laws dating back to the early part of the last century.
Into this vacuum has stepped Shell, which, through its Better Britain campaign, is working with the government and local authorities to foster dialogue and produce a good practice guide. But Shell's involvement - which it sees as neutral - is anathema to activists. "It doesn't understand activists, has no links to local communities and is excluding key people," Andrews says.
But the allotment movement may die if it doesn't adapt. "Without broader ideas about the uses that can be made of allotments, people won't want to use them," says Ian Egginton-Metters, director of the National Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens. "Then people will get more and more divorced from the land and know even less about where their food comes from."

Well this will be my introduction to the world of Sun. I am looking into using the Sun Ray Client 3 plus and or the Sun Ray Client 3i for virtual desktops. Is there anyone using them and if so how well to they work? Are they reliable and if any what problems have you had.
They will be going onto a Windows 2008 environment. too.

I'm running Sunray 2 units in my environment. They are very reliable, They just work. I have the rare occasion where a user gets a black screen and at that point I just have to use the sunray web console to terminate the session and that then manually reboot the sunray.
Biggest problem I have is when the Remote desktop services server messes up, then everyone is down until I figure out what the problem is.

Quebecor Inc.'s Sun Media division is shutting down the Montreal Mirror, the city's last remaining English alternative weekly newspaper.
Montreal was once home to a vibrant alt-weekly community, with four newspapers in two languages circulating on the streets.
The rich competition in cultural and alternative journalism that Montreal fostered in the early 1990s also gave birth to Vice Magazine - a now-international media corporation once called Voice of Montreal, now headquartered in New York.
Now there remains only one alternative weekly - French-language Voir. The city's other English alternative weekly, Hour Community – formerly named the Hour – was shut down just last month.
The paper's shutdown came down with no warning. Patrick Lejtenyi, the paper's news editor, said editor-in-chief Alastair Sutherland met with Quebecor representatives at 10:30 Friday morning to break the news. Staff were given a few hours to gather their things. Some staff were on out of the office for the Saint Jean Baptiste holiday, and had to be called to break the news.
Mr. Lejtenyi called the situation "amicable, as far as these things go."
While the announcement was sudden, hints of the paper's financial strain were not. Sections disappeared, page counts were down, and freelance budgets dwindled, pressuring editorial staff to take on more reporting themselves.
"Tough times are all over," Mr. Lejtenyi said, "but I thought we'd done enough to buy us some more time."
By 2 p.m. Friday the Mirror website directed to a short statement from the paper's editors.
"It is with great regret that we recently stopped publishing the Montreal Mirror," the statement reads. "The June 22 edition of the free Montreal English-language cultural weekly will be its last.
"The growing popularity of digital media and communications has irremediably changed the context in which free cultural weeklies operate, bringing about economic challenges which have unfortunately compromised The Mirror's viability.
"We wish to thank all the readers, advertisers, writers and staff whose passion and talent contributed to making the Mirror a true Montreal cultural and journalistic institution."
Some of the note's phrasing is identical to that of a news release issued by Sun Media Friday afternoon. An earlier note from the editors has since been removed: "Maintaining a free cultural weekly in this context simply became unviable."
J. Serge Sasseville, Quebecor's senior vice-president of corporate and institutional affairs, declined to provide further comment on the matter.
Catherine Salisbury co-founded the Mirror and now serves as president of The Coast, Halifax's alt-weekly. "We started the Mirror back in 1985 to give a voice to our community and fought for years for its survival," she said. "It was always a grass roots operation and we ran the newspaper with sincerity and passion.
"Perhaps Quebecor and The Mirror was not the perfect fit." Quebecor bough the Mirror in 1997.
"The Mirror was an original and raw voice in English Montreal at a time when the conversation was dominated by the Gazette," said Peter Scowen, a Globe and Mail web editor who served as editor-in-chief of both Mirror and Hour at different times during the 1990s. "It's hard to believe that Montreal can't support one English-language alt weekly any more."
Julien Feldman, one of the paper's co-founders who left in the early years, said he watched the paper struggle to adapt to the Internet age, focusing on being a newspaper rather than a media company.
"As a co-founder, that's particularly sad for me," he said. He cited Vice, whose print and digital properties have garnered international reach, as an example of the success the Mirror never attained. Now, he said, the Mirror is "in the scrap heap of history."
The Mirror's current issue, featuring Vancouver band Japandroids on the cover, will be its last.
It first published in 1985.
The newspaper's Twitter feed was last updated Thursday, and all links to stories redirected to the Mirror editors' note.
Seven employees will be laid off, according to Sun Media, while two others will move elsewhere within the company.
"We're all still reeling from this," Mr. Lejtenyi said. "We'd all like to keep writing and keep reporting, but I doubt we'll find anywhere that was as fun or as cool. It was really an exceptional little paper."
Ottawa's XPress alt-weekly, which shares a publisher, Urbacom, with Montreal's Voir, also stopped publishing this May. Like the Mirror, the financial impossibility of running a print newspaper was cited as its reason for shutting down.Report Typo/Error

Polaris 10: "There's nothing hidden on that product to unlock" - interview
PC Games Hardware had the chance to talk to Evan Groenke, Senior Product Manager for Polaris 10, about the configuration of the GPU used for the Radeon RX 480. Groenke made clear that Polaris 10 doesn't have 40 compute units - as some publication state - so that the Radeon RX 480 has the full configuration with 36 CUs (2.304 Shader).
Evan Groenke is Senior Product Manager for Polaris 10 and he was deeply involved in the development of Polaris. He should know if the full configuration of Polaris is 40 compute units (like some websites state) or 36. Groenke made absolutely clear that the latter is the case. Here is his full quote of the interview, you will find the whole audio interview at the end of the article.
PCGH: Is the P10 a 36-CU-part and no hidden additional CUs?
Evan Groenke: I can absolutely confirm with you right here, that Polaris 10 in its full configuration defined by the silicon is a 36 Compute Unit configuration there's nothing else hidden on that product that end users might be looking forward to unlocking. This is the pinnacle, the latest and greatest of the Polaris 10 product.
This also means that a possible Radeon RX 490 will not be based Polaris 10. It may be possible though that there is a new GPU revision coming up as RX 485. You may find our Radeon RX 480 review at PCGH.de and we have some more English articles on our dedicated landing page.

SESSION TITLE: Patient Safety Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: In this report, we evaluate the safety of VM administered through peripheral intravenous access (PIVA) in critically ill patients.
METHODS: For a four-month period starting in October 2012, we monitored use of VM via PIVA in an 18-bed MICU. If the patient required VM for blood pressure support, the MICU team made a clinical decision as to the appropriate route for administration of VM. Use of VM through PIVA was guided by protocol. Dobutamine, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and phenylephrine were all approved for use through PIVA. Data was collected prospectively on a daily basis by one investigator and entered into a standard de-identified data sheet for quality and safety assessment.
RESULTS: Fifty patients (age 70.8 +/-15.9, male/female 25:25, SAPS II score 72.8 +/-19.3) received VM by PIVA 64 times. Vasoactive medication used: dobutamine (n=4), dopamine (n=47), epinephrine (n=0), norepinephrine (n=7), and phenylephrine (n=6). Infiltration of the PIVA occurred in two patients without any tissue injury following local phentolamine/nitropaste. Seven patients receiving VM through PIVA eventually required central intravenous access (CIVA).
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that administration of VM through PIVA is safe in MICU. Infiltration of venous line is uncommon; phentolamine/nitropaste appeared to be effective in preventing local ischemic injuy, in the two cases that we observed. Our results do not allow comment on the indications or efficacy but instead focus on safety. CIVA has risks during insertion (pneumonthorax/vascular injury), and while indwelling (line infection/thrombosis/venous air embolism). These risks must be balanced against the risk of peripheral vasopressor use. A traditional indication for CIVA insertion has been VM use; our results suggest that CIVA may not be necessary in all cases. During the study period we were able to avoid the use of CIVA in fifty-seven patients by using PIVA.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Use of PIVA for VM administration may reduce the use of CIVA, and thus represents potential for risk reduction in the MICU.

I'm in the process of rolling spiceworks out to my organization and I'm getting frustrated with issues with scan errors. Right now I have several machines that are still getting scan errors and when I go to test them in the network settings area, the test passes if I put in the hostname, but not if I use IP. I'v ensured that the hostname does resolve to the IP address I'm using so I really don't understand why that'd be an issue. Please advise, thanks.
Feb 18, 2010 at 9:08 UTC
Can you resolve the hostname from the IP address using nslookup?

Can you resolve the hostname from the IP address using nslookup?
Feb 18, 2010 at 9:15 UTC
Do you have DNS errors (inventory/DNS checkup)?
Feb 18, 2010 at 9:19 UTC
I tried NSLookup and the reverse did resolve to the incorrect hostname. Does spiceworks do a reverse lookup then use the hostname when it's scanning? It'd seem to be a wasted step if I'm telling it the exact IP address to scan, why would it care about the hostname? I'll go through and check the DNS for the remainder of my scan errors as well, thanks.

Putting Norm Powell in the starting lineup has changed the playoff fortunes of the Toronto Raptors.
Powell scored a career playoff-high 25 points, Kyle Lowry had 16 points and 10 assists and the Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-93 in Game 5 of their first-round series on Monday night.
Raptors coach Dwane Casey said Powell has been "a spark plug."

This week's show:
My Producer's Notes
Listen to The Sounds of Brazil every three hours beginning at 6am Central Time daily.
I'll never forget the first time I heard Ivan Lins' voice. It came by way of a single song, soon after the release of 'Harlequin' in 1985. Although the song was his, the album was a joint project between guitarist Lee Ritenour and pianist Dave Grusin and I recall that the first minute or so left me completely overwhelmed: so much passion and power and beauty. How could all of this course straight through me, without even a moment to absorb what it all meant?
You can judge for yourself: I'll play that very song in our second hour.
It was on that day that I learned about the essence of Brazilian music, and Ivan Lins proved to be a great teacher. He's written a Grammy winner for Quincy Jones and penned hits for Elis Regina, George Benson, Brenda Russell, Peter White and many others. He made his home in Boston and Los Angeles for a long while. In fact, his story as one of Brazil's greatest songwriters is infused with our own American culture – to such a degree that it sets him apart from many of his peers back home in Brazil.
Early influences? How about Blood, Sweat & Tears' lead singer David Clayton Thomas? Lins emulated the top 40 singer's voice while on the path to finding his own signature style – plaintive, soulful. The essence of emotion.
Ivan Lins is a perennial favorite with our coast to coast audience and we'll take two full hours to explore his music as we get a head start on next month's 'Singers & Songwriters' theme, with 'Ivan Songs' from Luiz Avellar, Mike Metheny, sax great Grover Washington, Jr., Lee Ritenour, Chaka Khan and Barbra Streisand, too.
Plus two duets anchored by Ivan Lins: going acoustic with Oscar Castro-Neves and then 80′s MPB with Djavan, in a playlist that includes music from German trumpeter Till Brönner, Caibedo Island plus a New Bossa request for Brazilian Jumble.
Among the non-English-speaking nations of the world, Brazil enjoys a rare and vibrant cultural connection with America that is not merely the product of Embassies and trade relations. Stories like Ivan Lins' remind us of the power of one-to-one, which expands to amplify both the commonality and the distinctiveness of each nation. In fact, it plays its part in what makes both of our countries magnificent.
A cool breeze in Summer, and a warm wind when the weather turns cold – that's The Sounds of Brazil!

Homu is a gatekeeper for your commits.
Unlike several other continuous integration services, Homu tests a pull request just before merging it, not after the fact.
It is analogous to a pre-commit hook.
In this way, Homu keeps the
master branch always "green", which means that you will never break
master, effectively eliminating the needs of the build badges.
(Although you may still want to have one, because they are pretty!)
Also, it works on top of GitHub and Travis, so you don't need to set up another CI tool.
After reviewing it, you leave an "approval" comment in a pull request. Homu detects this, and starts testing using Travis.
If the test passes, Homu merges the pull request into the
master branch and proceeds to the next one.
Note that Homu can only test one pull request at a time, because recycling the outdated test results can lead to false positives (which will break
If the test fails, Homu reports the failure in a comment. You can utilize a queue page to get an overview of the pull requests.
Also note that you should not push to
master directly, as it negates the benefits of using Homu.
You should mention
@homu in a comment.
r+: Accept a pull request. Pull requests will automatically be unaccepted if the contents are changed.
r=NAME: Accept a pull request on behalf of NAME.
r-: Unacccept a pull request.
p=NUMBER: Set the priority of the pull request (defaults to 0).
retry: Signal that the pull request is not bad, and should be retried by Travis.
@homu r+
@homu r=graydon
@homu retry
There is a stand-alone version of Homu, which is open sourced. The Rust project and the Servo project are currently using this as a part of their test infrastructures. You can download it at https://github.com/barosl/homu
Stand-alone Homu is written in Python, and uses the github3.py library.
Homu.io (this site) is written in Rust, and uses PostgreSQL as a storage. It internally communicates with the stand-alone version.
This was originally an idea from one of the previous colleagues of Graydon Hoare. Graydon, who is also known as the creator of the Rust language, implemented this idea against GitHub and named it bors. bors had been primarily used by the Rust project, and also by Basho (the creator of Riak). Early this year, bors was rewritten from scratch to overcome the issues that had been revealed with the growing of the Rust project, mostly performance problems, resulting Homu.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 27, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas City Council M rt/> In Edward Sciantarelli Edward Sciantarelli, 35, is a Corpus Christi native. He graduated from the University of Texas in 1971 and from UT dental school in 1975. During a nine-month practice in San Marcos, Sciantarelli began practicing dentistry here with Dr. Mitchell Sacco. He moved here in 1976. Following the poor economic year experienced by many local businesses in 1984, Council candidiate Edward Sciantarelli said the city and members of the community should work together to develope a strong economy. "There were problems with the mill (WestPoint Pepperell), and General Portland is down," he said. "That cuts down the city's revenue from utilities, which affects our budget. "We had a bad year for tourism, and it was a bad year for our industries, and we need to consider these." Because of the bad year, Sciantarelli said, raising taxes now would be like kicking a dog when he's down. "To offset some of our problems, we have to address the issues on the whole," he said. "The number one beneficial thing is a sound economy." And developing a sound economy, he said, can be done See SCIANTARELLI, Page 14A Yale Simpson Yale J. Simpson, 60, is a Florida native. He attendee college there before serving as headquarters commandant in the U.S. Army. He was a member of the Florida State Legislative Board, and president of the Florida chapter ol the Steel Service Center Institute in 1972. He presently serves on the city's Options and Opportunities Committee. He moved to New Braunfels three years ago and for two years has owned Steel Products, which sells steel to farmers, welders, and fabricators in the area. "We've eaten the big red apples and now all the red apples are gone and the wagon needs fixing." That's the rationale Yale Simpson gives for the city's proposed bond issue. "The passing of the bond issue is necessary; however, the issues should be given to the voters," Simpson said. "Of course, what's important is different to all." Priorities, although hard to place importance on one point, should be street and drainage improvements, Simpson said. The bond issue, he explained, is needed to take care of the growth the city already has experienced and the growth that is expected. _ See SIMPSON, Page 14A Darrell Sollberger Darrell Sollberger, 38, is a native of Houston. After living in Colorado and Montana, he returned to Texas six years ago and came to New Braunfels two-and-a-half years ago. He is a certified public accountant and works for Epp/er, Guerin and Turner stock brokers. Darrell Sollberger said his financial expertise would be beneficial to service on City Council. "I have obtained a copy of the city's audit report, and the current city budget," he said. "I have (in the past) audited utilities and have done some governmental audits." Sollberger said he would like to see a more detailed budget summary presented to Council, which would include the beginning and ending case balances, and surpluses and contingency expenditures from previous periods. "It was most surprising to someone with my background" not to see that information on a budget summary, he said. "I was looking at the financial situation and there will "by bringing in quality industry, non-polluting industry that provides a large number of good-paying jobs." Sciantarelli said he has talked to people who are concerned about the approaching city bond issue, See SOLLBERGER.

Part 2 will be the three candidates for the other council seat up for grabs this year — District 4. It will appear Sunday. Absentee voting continues through Tuesday at City Hall. New Braunfels Herald New Braunfels. Texas Vol. 94-No. 62 Wednesday March 27,1985 25 Cents 30 Pages — 3 Sections MX passes House vote WASHINGTON i AP) — With three votes down and (me to go, House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill says the last hope of stopping spending for the MX missile is to convince conservative Democrats it bears too high a cost. "That's the only argument we've got out there," O'Neill said rn the aftermath of the slender 219-213 vote by which the House on Tuesday voted to authorize $1.5 billion to build a second installment of 21 MX nussiles. "Certainly, we're going to try and switch it around," the speaker said. "It comes down to the fact that a lot of conservatives rn my party will have to look at the price tag." Other Democrats called the vote "the high-water mark" for the missile system. They predicted that even if the House votes to appropriate the money, future administration requests for the MX will be slashed and President Reagan will never get the fleet of IOO MX missiles he seeks. The second vote, to actually appropnate the MX money, was expected today or Thursday. Critics argued that MX. which stands for Missile Experimental but which Reagan calls "the Peacekeeper," is too expensive, too vulnerable to Soviet attack, and too likely to destabilize the ll S.-Soviet nuclear balance. The assigned mission of each highly accurate MX is to hurl IO nuclear war heads at separate targets over ranges of more than 8.000 miles. The weapon has been controversial for a dozen years, largely because of disagreement on how to base it. Ptesent plans are to place the MX in existing — and vulnerable — Minuteman missile silos in Nebraska and Wyoming with the hope of fortifying those installations at a later date. Reagan hailed the House action as "a vote for peace, for a safer future, and for success" at the arms control talks with the Soviet Union in Geneva. Republicans applauded but many Democratic liberals booed and hissed as Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., defied the majority opinion in his party to defend MX as a potent bargaining lever that can be used to pry an acceptable arms reduction agreement from the Soviet Union at the Geneva talks "To vote no on these mss lies would be in effect giving help to the Soviet Union," said Aspin, who is chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Congress, I beg of you, the negotiators are at the table, let's give them the tools so they can do the job," Aspin said. A total 158 Republicans and 61 Democrats voted for the MX spending. Voting against it were 189 Democrats and 24 Republicans. By tradition, O'Neill as speaker did not vote and there are two vacancies among the 435 House seats.

McArthur Builders of New Braunfels bid $840,000 which is around $300,000 over the architect's estimate on the two projects. Superintendent Charles Bradberry recommended to the board that the architect be asked to divide the bid package into four parts that can be bid separately. The four packages will divide the total project into construction of the Lone Star school gym, remodeling work on Ixme Star, construction of the transportation center and installation of the transportation center's fuel tanks. The board approved Bradberry's suggestion. "The problem is that the projects encompass three separate kinds of work: metal buildings, remodeling and fuel tanks. Some local companies that do work in one of those areas cannot bid the rest of the package. We had a number of companies tell us that they could only bid the metal building part of the bid. Also the fuel tanks are a very specialized area in construction," Bradberry explained in an interview. This is a repeat of what happened on the bids for the new elementary school and additions to the middle school and high school. The project manager had written the specifications as a single package, and the bids all came in too high. When the specifications were broken into smaller packages, bids came in lower and many more companies bid the project. In other business, the board took two hours and 37 minutes to review teacher evaluations before deciding to renew all but two contracts. a* The problem is that the projects encompass three separate kinds of work: metal buildings, remodeling and fuel tanks." —NBISD Supt. Charles Bradberry The two contracts not renewed were one for an English as a Second language position and one for a vocational program that has not attracted enough students to justify the teaching position, Bradberry said. "The ESL teacher we have to do this way every year because we do not know until after registering next year's kids whether we will need an ESL teacher or not," the superintendent said. Out of the 231 contracts approved for renewal, 184 were one-year contracts including two Teen Connection personnel who were approved "If funds were available." Also 42 two-year contracts were approved. "These teachers had to have certain criteria: a master's degree and so many years experience and some other things. But every teacher who met the criteria did not get a two-year contract. It depended on the three observations and a rating sheet that makes up the teacher evaluation," Bradberry explained. Five probationary contracts for teachers in their first year were also approved. And 23 teachers with two-year contracts still had a year to go on their contracts. For vocational teachers who had 11-month contracts last year, they will get only 104 months this year; and those with 12-month contracts were approved for only 114 months. New Braunfels residents die in crash Two New Braunfels teenagers died when the car they were passengers in was hit by a tractor trailer on FM 725 and Altwein Road at 10:20 p.m. Tuesday. Burke William Tiedt, 19, of 786 Rosemary and Ronald Eugene Farrow, 18, of RI. I Box 455C both were pronounced dead at the scene at 11:20 p.m. by Guadalupe County Justice of the Peace Roy Dreibrodt of Precinct 3. The driver of the car that the two men were riding in failed to yield the right-of-way when he turned north onto FM 725 from Altwein Road, pulling into the path of the tractor trailer, according to the Department of Public Safety report. The drivers of the two vehicles are both in the hospital. Dean Mitchell, 19, of Rt. 2 Box 566F, New Braunfels, driver of the car, is in critical condition with multiple head lacerations at McKenna Memorial Hospital. And Kenneth Painter, 35, of Rt. 4 Box 294B, driver of the tractor-trailer, is in fair condition at Guadalupe Valley Hospital in Seguin. —LILLIAN THOMAS DERYl Cl ARK HERALD ZEITUNG Regulating signs will be a tough task, planners feel Eyestrain? Panel wades into tough task By DANA STELL Staff writer One member called it an "overwhelming" task Tuesday night as Planning and Zoning Commission began the long job of developing a comprehensive sign ordinance. Commissioners are expected to meet tonight with the mayor of Round Rock — a city with billboard legislation intact — to review that city's law. The Commission Tuesday discussed the rights of a New Braunfels businessmen to place a sign at his business versus the right of the citizen who must look at the signs. "You can have a thousand beautiful signs two feet apart, but the overall effect is chaos," said landscape artist Joe Couch. "And chaos is ugly. "We are reaching a visual pollution, you can't read the information that is out there, there are so many signs." Harvey Scheel, a partner in Tri-County Sign Co., disagreed. "Who requires you to read all those signs?" he asked. "You can't tell someone they can't have a sign because you can't read it." Commission member Jan Estes said the group could place under the category of public safety the issue of how far apart each billboard should be, along with how far from the street a portable sign must be. Pete Lingamfelter, owner of Oasis Outdoor Advertising, said he is in favor of regulating signs to protect himself, as well as the city's historical districts, parks, and residential areas. "The time has come to form a responsible ordinance," he said. Ungamfeltcr, who said he is only concerned with off-premise signs, such as large billboards, suggested that licenses be issued to sign manufacturers and owners to ensure professionalism and compliance with the ordinance. He also said the actual size and placement of signs should be determined by the city's zoning, and that signs should be placed in commercial or industrial areas. Scheel, representing interest from owners and users of temporary and portable signs, said portable signs are the only way many businessmen can afford to advertise. "I think there's a direct need for a businessman in this town to have the right to put advertising on his piece of property that suits his business," Scheel said. He said he agreed that the portable signs should not be allowed in residential areas, except on special occasions. Doug Webb, who also is in the portable sign business, said he favored some regulation of the industry, including assurance that the signs be kept in good repair and working condition, and that they be staked down, away from an intersection, and on commercial property. ;

Let's face facts people, being a Padres fan is not easy work. Year in and year out you watch a team that is often times mediocre at best trying to battle it out and try not to land in the cellar. Every year you are promised a better season because we will find better players to help out the squad. Then the offseason comes around and none of these promises are fulfilled. It's almost as if it is Christmas morning and your sibling got all the good presents while you are left with stuff from the 99 cent store. We have sat back and watched the Dodgers and the Angels grab whoever they want and our biggest signing so far is Jason Marquis. I just read though that we aren't the only team not doing anything. The Mets haven't even signed anybody of yet.
