SAN BERNARDINO -- Tears flow from the eyes of the black-haired boy in a painting that hangs on a downtown office wall.
It's a self portrait. The artist was a prisoner in the California Institution for Men in Chino. He wanted Candy Stallings to have the painting. She's kept it for 20 years.
Stallings is the executive director of the nonprofit San Bernardino County Sexual Assault Services.
"He never wanted me to forget the little boy that he was," Stallings said.
She's seen thousands of sexual assault victims come through her center. Many were victimized at a young age and used drugs to numb the pain. Some end up like the man who gave her the painting.
Fiery orange and red hues surround his likeness as a young boy.
"You can just see the pain in his eyes," Stallings said.
And the compassion in hers.
Stallings answered an ad for volunteers at the agency more than 25 years ago. She ran a balloon store at the time and was taking criminology classes at San Bernardino Valley College.
The agency was located in a small D Street office and operated with a $79,000 budget. Now located on Arrowhead Avenue, the agency has offices in Victorville, Barstow, Yucaipa, Redlands and the Coachella Valley.
Its budget today is around $1 million. A wall of awards in the downtown center includes recognition from former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Stallings sits at her desk underneath the painting. It's a cool Wednesday morning. She feels like she can never do enough for people.
"My goal someday is to end sexual violence," Stallings said. "If you work at a center like this and you don't think you can accomplish that, you need to leave."
Around every corner of the center are reminders of her goal: the children's toys in a reception room; the emergency boxes of clothes for survivors undergoing forensic exams; a victims quilt with personalized messages like "stop the pain" and "keep your head up."
"You never get used to it," Stallings says. "In the field, if you ever get used to it, it's time to get out."
Stallings is a state-certified rape crisis counselor and member of the state Advisory Committee on Sexual Assault Victim Services under the California Emergency Management Agency.
She's heard countless stories from sexual assault survivors. One told her attacker she was praying for him. Another pretended to go insane during an assault.
Both men fled.
Stallings says victims should trust their instincts and do whatever it takes to stay alive.
Hers is a life far-removed from selling balloons.
"It was something where I felt like I found my calling," she said.
That calling was tested early.
"It was horrific," she said. "In training they tell you you're not going to get the worst case on your (first time) out. I got the worst case."
A 5-year-old girl was kidnapped from a playground in Big Bear. The man told her he was a doctor and needed help finding his dog.
He beat her in the face and raped her. Stallings stayed by the girl's bedside for two days.
"I really didn't do anything except sit with her," she said.
Not according to the girl.
As a 16-year-old she visited the woman who helped her through her nightmare.
Stallings recalls her words:
"When I got older, I just remember you were like an angel sitting next to me."

Reading the ViaductBy Jessica Vivian Chiu
Starting out for the southern end of the Reading Viaduct means walking alongside a live railroad track, vigilant for the sound of a CSX freight train approaching from behind. Your destination is the mouth of an abandoned tunnel, which will pull you into stretches of almost total darkness thirty feet below ground. You aren't headed for the tunnel because you love tunnels, but to glimpse the diversity of landscapes that makes up Philadelphia's Reading Viaduct before it becomes the city's answer to New York City's Highline. You are there for the tunnel as much as for what's on the other side: the promise of meadowland and prairie hiding in plain sight.
The Reading Viaduct may one day become a linear park transecting downtown Philadelphia. Should that happen, the Viaduct would be like no other park in the world. The three-mile stretch runs thirty feet underground at one end and emerges as an elevated line thirty feet above street level on the other. Since the 1980s, it has been abandoned. Sections of the Viaduct may undergo development as early as next year. Read More

Milk's nutritional value debated as we consume more
Consider a glass of milk.
Familiar, safe, evoking childhood memories of dunking cookies or cafeteria lunches with school friends. Cool, refreshing and good for you.
Maybe. While some consider milk a nutritional powerhouse, others see it as unnecessary for good health and question the rationale behind some government-related programs that try to help the marketing of milk.
"When I was growing up, drinking milk at every meal, I had a chronic upset stomach," cookbook author Mark Bittman wrote in his New York Times blog in July. As a teenager, that worsened into chronic heartburn and acid reflux, which led to a dependence on medications and a series of attempts to relieve his esophagus with other remedies.
MORE: Alternatives to milk abound in supermarkets
Finally, his doctor advised him to see if eliminating certain foods from his diet would help. So, as an experiment, he tried cutting out dairy products and 24 hours later, "my heartburn was gone. Never, it seems, to return."
It has long been known that some people have trouble digesting cow's milk. The National Institutes of Health estimates about 30 million Americans have lactose intolerance, the inability to digest a type of sugar in milk. The condition is more common in people of Asian, African, Native American or Mediterranean ethnicity, and, while not dangerous, it can cause nausea, bloating, gas and diarrhea. Milk allergy, an immune system reaction that can cause hives, eczema and wheezing, as well as digestive problems, is thought to affect 2% to 5% of babies, though many outgrow it by age 3, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
While there are drawbacks for some, the nutritional benefits of milk are clear, says Ruth Frechman, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formerly the American Dietetic Association. "Milk is a nutrient-dense beverage; it's relatively inexpensive and is an easy source of hydration," she says. It contains protein, calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B12 and other vitamins and minerals.
But its main nutrient, says Frechman, is calcium, "and most Americans are not getting the recommended amounts of calcium." Calcium is needed to build bone and teeth, help muscles to contract, and improve nerve function, she says. It plays a role in blood clotting and the dilation and contraction of blood vessels, which affects blood pressure.
Robert Post, deputy director of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, says of the four nutrients that are of public health concern because Americans don't get enough of them -- calcium, potassium, vitamin D and fiber-- three are in dairy foods. (There's no fiber in milk.)
Susan Levin, director of nutrition education at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a non-profit that describes itself as promoting preventive medicine and advocates a vegetarian diet, questions the USDA's emphasis on dairy as a major food group.
Levin says there's more marketing than science behind dairy promotion. She points to the dairy checkoff program (www.dairycheckoff.com), established in the 1983 Dairy Act (the Dairy Production Stabilization Act). One of a number of similar programs funded by agricultural industries (beef, soybeans), it requires producers and importers of dairy products to pay fees that finance programs aimed at boosting sales of dairy products. It is administered by the Dairy Board, whose members are appointed by the secretary of Agriculture, and is monitored by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service.
By its own estimate, the program has been successful: Annual consumption of milk and milk products has risen 15%, from 541 pounds per person in 1981 to an estimated 620 pounds today, most of it fueled by increased consumption of cheese and yogurt, says Joe Bavido, program spokesman.
Consumption of liquid milk, conversely, has been on the decline, says Vivien Godfrey, CEO of the Milk Processor Education Program, MilkPEP, creators of the national Got Milk? campaign. Americans drank nearly 2 gallons of milk less per person in 2009 than they did in 2000, down from 22.4 gallons per person to 20.6 gallons. It's not that Americans are drinking less overall, she says. It's that they've switched to other beverages, primarily bottled water.
"That's concerning, because milk is important in the diet," she says. It's nutritious and "very affordable," at about a quarter per 8-ounce glass.
Now, she says, "The challenge we're faced with is to steal market share back from other beverages, like bottled water." To that end, MilkPEP is launching new advertising campaigns, one aimed at encouraging people to drink milk at breakfast and another pitching chocolate milk to adult athletes -- marathoners, triathletes and others who work out hard -- as a tasty way to refuel after a workout.
But do we need milk? "Dairy products have been touted as absolutely essential to human health," Levin says, "but there really hasn't been any scientific evidence to support that claim." Some studies raise questions about the value of dairy foods in bone or heart health, and others suggest an increased risk of health problems, such as prostate cancer in men who drink a lot of milk, she says.
"To me it's irresponsible for the USDA to make it a mandatory food item served with (school) lunch," she says. "This is a beverage that could make, certainly minority kids, not feel good."
Nutritionist Gregory Miller, executive vice president of the National Dairy Council, says the preponderance of evidence is "quite good and clear in terms of the important role dairy can play in the diet to reduce chronic diseases."
He points to recommendations from the Surgeon General, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical authorities "all saying dairy should be part of the diet." Despite "one study here or there" that raises questions about the health benefits of dairy foods, he says, "Look at the total body of evidence out there."
The USDA's Post says that's what the agency did in developing its food guidelines. The policy is based on a thorough review of all the research, and is not influenced by marketing or pressure groups, he says. "Everything is done to review the science," he says.

We have central vac in our house. Or rather, until a month ago, we did. Our central vac unit died and with good luck for timing (for once) LG sent us their Kompressor™ Compact Pet Care Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner for review. With a yellow lab (the sheddiest of all labs), a cat, plus three children and a lot of wet weather, our floors need to be vaccuumed daily, if not more frequently. Having no vaccuum was simply not an option.
I love this vaccuum. I mean, I really, really LOVE this vaccuum. As gross as it is to empty the canister and see what's been on our floors, its also awesome and fascinating and impressive just how much this tiny little powerhouse of a vaccuum picks up. In rooms with an area rug, this canister is full before I'm finished with two rooms. I like seeing the results of my vaccuuming right away, and being able to see them disposed of. I couldn't do that with my old vaccuuM! Plus, when I empty the canister I press a lever down and I'm not touching "ick" anything. Which makes it better.
This vaccuum is a whole lot of power in a compact package- and at a very reasonable price point for most households, definitely one that gets kudos for affordability!!
Sleek, Compact and Convenient Design
- At just 16.5 pounds, the LuV250C is the lightest vacuum in LG's vacuum family with all the power of the full-size vacuum.
- The LuV250C also features an extra-long 30-foot cord, making it easier to clean a larger area in less time without having to switch outlets multiple times to reach the entire space.
- The adjustable telescopic handle collapses for more compact storage and the lighter weight makes it easier to manuever around your home.
- Available in an attractive Cinnamon finish, the LuV250C features a stylish design that makes it a great fit anywhere in the home.
I think the color is great for this vaccuum- sleek and fun and so much more exciting than the basic grey I've had before. The telescoping handle is WONDERFUL if you are short on space as we are- I can drop the handle down and this slides right into the hall closet without bumping hanging jackets and coats out of the way, so when you open the door, it doesn't look messy at all.
Cleaning Technology
- The LuV250C's Kompressor® Technology utilizes the world's first motorized compression system to condense the dust intake to hold three times more household dust than non-compressor models.
- The Kompressor® system uses a unique wiper blade within the bag-less bin to keep it clean while compressing dust intake.
- This allows you to store up to 3 times more dirt, dust and pet hair vs. non-compressor models and means there's an easy-to-dispose-of cake of dust when you empty it.
- DualForce™ Suction Technology adds two additional air pathways to pick up from both sides of the vacuum head in addition to the traditional center section.
- This allows you to capture dust and debris over a wide surface area, and is ideal for picking up dust in hard-to-reach edges.
I don't necessarily understand the science of this technology but I don't mind that- because it WORKS. It works really well. Granted, I'm comparing to an older model central vac and an almost 10 year old upright vaccuum (albeit a good one) but the suction on this vaccuum impresses me each time I use this vaccuum. I'm actually wanting to vaccuum, almost like a game, to see what else will come out of the rugs. (I wish it wasn't so gross, all the pet hair and dust…but hey, this is where I'm at in life, and I think an older home with a lot of hardwood flooring exacerbates the issues!!)
Pet & Allergy Friendly
- The Pet Hair Turbine tool uses an air turbine powered brush to remove pet hair embedded in furniture and carpets.
- Its True HEPA filtration system help capture dust mites, pollens and other common household allergens to deliver a higher degree of freshness in the home.
The turbine tool is my new BFF. No lie. My sneaky Tobey boy isn't allowed on the furniture, although each morning, we come down and there's an outline of dog hair where he's spent the night on the couch. Its been such a giant chore and a pain in my neck trying to get the hair off up until recently- but now with a few passes of this particular attachment tool on the Kompressor, the hair is GONE even off of our dog-hair-loving couch fabric. Makes for one happy mama. Plus the kids can maneuver this attachment on the end of the hose so they can help me…they actually fight over who gets to help me with the vaccuum. (Soon I can teach them to fight over laundry, right?)
My Shout! Media friends at Living on Love and Cents, Our Kids Mom, A Mom's Take and Just Married with Coupons checked out the same vaccuum- click their links and find out what they think of it too!!
One of our readers will win the LG Kompressor™ Compact Pet Care Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner!
I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review through my affiliation with Shout! Media. Opinions are my own.

Pleasure Domes with ParkingBy Aaron Gilbreath
We're out this week, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2012 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
Because my grandfather owned a men's clothing store and my dad briefly worked for him, I spent a lot of my childhood in malls. Hanging around malls is already a tradition in Phoenix, Arizona, where I grew up. It's as central to life as driving and eating Mexican food, a habit stemming from a mix of materialism, a reflexive tendency to "pass time," and a very practical need for air conditioning. But it was also a habit born of an era when malls adorned themselves in gaudy architecture and country-and-western motifs, presented themselves as shopping experiences rather than just places to shop, and capitalized on Americans' aspirations toward glitz and glamour. I can't enter one of the predictable, interchangeable modern retail spaces without thinking of the heyday of the mall, a period when, to borrow the title of a Time magazine article, malls were "Pleasure-Domes with Parking."
I saw none of these touches of class in person. I was born in 1975, and by then malls had changed. As I experienced it, my Grandpa Shapiro's store, The Habber Dasher, was adjacent to the food court, an echoey hall enlivened by the greasy orange aroma of Pizza D'Amore and the sweet froth of Orange Julius, as well as Kay Bee Toys, the Red Baron video-game arcade, and the movie theater. My time at the mall was spent buying shockingly lifelike diecast metal cap guns at Kay Bee and then eating free samples of slow-cooked meat from the tiny gyro stall, staring in horror at the hard, sunken eyes of the whole smoked fish in Miracle Mile Deli's cold case, or looking up at the tall escalator that led into UA Cinema. When I walked through the open, indoor plaza where Santa Claus sat in a huge Styrofoam Wonderland, surrounded by polymer wads of fake snow while the sun shone outside, I had no clue that malls could be anything but what they were then, that they had any history at all.
In fact, shopping arcades and centers existed in the Western World as early as the 1920s. The classic, fully enclosed form now known in America as "the mall" debuted in Edina, Minnesota, in 1956. An Austrian-American architect named Victor Gruen designed the so-called Southdale Center, and it became the de facto prototype for a wave of enclosed, temperature-controlled shopping complexes structured around big name "anchors" and interior garden spaces.

Move Over, NSA: DEA Uses Bigger Phone-Call Database
(NEWSER) – The Drug Enforcement Administration has been working closely with AT&T to access a database of American phone calls that dwarfs the NSA's controversial data-collecting efforts, the New York Times finds. In the "Hemisphere Project," which began in 2007, AT&T employees are embedded in anti-drug units across the country and supply them with phone call records from as far back as 1987, using a gargantuan database that collects four billion new records every day. The project covers not just calls made by AT&T users, but every call that goes through an AT&T switch.

EVERETT — The place is a wreck and has been for years.
The former Virginia Manor nursing home has been closed and standing empty since 1996. A target for vandals and graffiti, the building is a blight on its Hoyt Avenue neighborhood.
It is owned, according to Snohomish County Assessor's Office records, by an entity called Merrico Trust, which has a mailing address in Buckeye, Ariz.
Clyde Merriwether acknowledges that the 44,000-square-foot building at 3515 Hoyt Ave. now surrounded by security fencing belongs to his family. "Regretfully," said Merriwether, whose late father C. Raymond Merriwether built the nursing home in 1964.
He said there is a potential buyer for the building, and a plan to perhaps turn it into a 53-unit apartment complex.
"We're trying to get it sold — finally. It's been a horror story," said Merriwether, who lives in Kenmore. He did not disclose the possible buyer's name.
Merriwether tells a tangled tale of ownership changes and financial failures that resulted in his family once again owning the dilapidated building.
His parents operated it as a nursing home called Merricrest from 1964 until 1972. Merriwether said he lived in the building's basement in the late 1960s while he attended Everett Community College.
In the early 1970s, his parents sold the nursing home to Lee Rowell, Merriwether said. "He changed it to Virginia Manor," Merriwether said. "He went belly up with it in the 1990s."
In 1996, according to Herald archives, Virginia Manor was ordered closed by a federal bankruptcy court in Seattle. The issue wasn't quality of care. Virginia Manor was operating at a deficit, and owed the state and federal government for overpayments of Medicare and Medicaid.
Over the years, the place with boarded-up windows has drawn the attention of the city and the Everett police. Kate Reardon, a city spokeswoman, said that although no code enforcement actions have been taken against the building's owners, "it's definitely been an ongoing relationship with the owners, keeping the building secured."
"The trust is out of Arizona. If we have active property owners, physically located in our region, we can work with them a lot easier," she said.
Reardon said the city has had no recent conversations with the Hoyt property owner, and has no active application for any change in its use.
According to Steffani Lillie, an Everett Transit program manager who was acting earlier this month as the city's spokeswoman, the Everett planning department met months ago with the building's owner and a representative of the neighboring Spirit of Grace United Methodist Church to discuss parking if the Hoyt building becomes an apartment complex. Part of the church parking lot could be sold. The church is across the alley at Colby Avenue and 36th Street. "There hasn't been any additional formal contact with the city regarding this property since," Lillie said.
Aaron Snell, the Everett Police Department's spokesman, said the building's owners have cooperated over the years to keep troublemakers away from the site.
"We don't have tons and tons of issues," Snell said.
Snell said police and the building's owner "have a good, cordial relationship. We have worked with them on suggestions for security, which they have used," he said. Trespassing has been an issue, he said. "I'm sure this property is difficult for them to secure," Snell said.
Snell also said that during a demolition job some years back, neighbors reported copper theft there. Merriwether said all that's valuable has now been removed from the site.
Snell said Merriwether allowed police to use the building for SWAT training. A 2004 Everett City Council agenda shows a release of liability agreement between the city and Merriwether for police training.
"We did a training scenario in there. It's excellent, with a lot of different rooms," Snell said.
Earlier this month, Merriwether said he and his son spent a day painting over graffiti at the building. Reardon said property owners are responsible for graffiti removal. The city has a program that helps with graffiti removal, but Reardon said it is available only for residences. County assessor records show the ownership changes that Merriwether said have bedeviled his family.
With the 1996 bankruptcy, Merriwether said, the Virginia Manor owner "was in receivership. There was nothing left." With the building owned again by the Merriwethers, he said, he and his father fixed it up in 1998 and planned to open another senior care facility.
Their investment didn't work out, he said, and in 2008 the building was sold again. "When the market fell apart, we had to go to court to get the building back. It cost $600,000," Merriwether said.
County records also show that 2012 property taxes on the building have not been paid.
Merriwether said the building sold for more than $2 million before the 2008 deal fell through. It is now listed on a Commercial Brokers Association website for $1.8 million.
With concrete and rebar construction, Merriwether said it's not an easy building to remodel. He hopes the apartment deal happens.
"We thought about housing for foreign students, or temporary military housing," he said. "A policeman gave me an idea — an indoor paintball park."

TAMBOV, Russia -- Solar-powered milk vending machines that dispense fresh milk, and "moo" when a purchase is made, are popping up in this central Russian city.
The bulk-filled dairy venders, designed for indoor and outdoor use, resemble small newsstands. Inside are two tanks, each containing 200 liters (53 gals.) of pasteurized milk held refrigerated at 39°F. Milk remaining in the machine after 24 hours is sent to a local processing plant to produce cheese, and replaced with a fresh supply.
Priced at 1.45 million rubles (about $45,000), the machine reportedly vends 800 liters of milk a day on average.
Russian authorities have installed 10 of the milk venders on streets throughout the city, and plan to deploy more in response to early demand, according to local news agencies.

Alfa AWUS051NH, works, injection works
thank you!
I think the 2000mW refers to the wireless strength
* Just trying to help as well as I can with what little I know. If I say something wrong, please tell me!
* Made a thread and solved a problem? Make sure to say so.
The 2000mw adapter is the AWUS036NH. It only operates in 2.4GHz. The 51NH operates in both 2.4 and 5GHz.
As for power requirements. I have heard but not verified that the 2000mw is somewhat misleading in that Alfa includes the dBi of the antenna in its advertised rating. So the number they quote would actually be an EIRP number. The 51NH I have came with both a 5dBi and a 9dBi antenna. So all that "extra" power is due to the antenna and not the actual device itself. So, assuming that a 9dBi antenna is used for the 2W output of the 36NH device, the output at the device would have to be around 250mw. Not sure what the max for USB is.
Recognize that I am no expert at calculating dB. What I do know is that every 3dB up or down is twice or half power respectivly.
Woo, thank god. Because I just ordered "Alfa AWUS051NH 500mW High Gain 802.11a/b/g/n high power Wireless USB A / B / G / N Wireless WiFi Network adapter With a 5dBi and 9dBi magnetic base Rubber Antenna, Mini bendable Flex cable and Suction cup / Clip Window Mount - High speed Up to 300 Mbps - With Hot Swap Support". Is this the one you said works right?
Hello !
I just read this thread and the out-of-the-box one and want to order ausb dongle. Being quite new, I didn't get everything so maybe can you advice me which one to choose between the awus036nh and the awus051nh.
I was about to order the awus036nh but noticed that the chipset listed on alfa's website is rt3070 where the chipset listed here for this card is rt2870, so will it still work ?
Then asus051nh is listed with two different chipset, rt2770 and rt2750 on alfa's website. Is one better than the other ?
Last question, what do you guys think about the alfa awuso36neh ?
Thanks !
hello i have been trying to get this to work for about two weeks now
Backtrack 5
"root@bt:~# airmon-ng start wlan0
Found 2 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!
PID Name
1213 dhclient3
1669 dhclient3
Process with PID 1669 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0
Interface Chipset Driver
Wlan0 Ralink RT2870/3070 rt2800usb - [phy0]
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
How do i fix this?? i am a n00b ish
Not sure what your trying to fix.
Mon0 is created in monitor mode and this is the interface you use so when you use say airodump-ng the syntax would be
airodump-ng mon0
airodump-ng -c 6 mon0 etc.
iwconfig will confirm you have a wireless interface in monitor mode on mon0
if you want to destroy mon0 use airmon-ng stop mon0 to get rid of it.
I have had many problems with alfa cards in VM images when they work out of the box in permanent installs like persistant usb. Worth a try if you are using these cards from an iso loaded or VM image and having problems.
Sorry for the late reply. Yes. I have two and they rock.

Multiple firefighter trainees experience heat-related illness
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
News 2 has learned about some medical emergencies at the Charleston Fire Department training facility.
In one week, three trainees showed signs of heat-related illness. Two of them were admitted to the hospital.
The spokesperson for the department said the recruit school is a physically demanding 6-month training so they use a heat monitoring protocol to limit work activity and ensure adequate rest periods, during these excruciating summer months.
During the training last week that was a ten minute break every hour.
When temps neared 100 degrees there were four instances involving three recruits where the trainees had to stop working for medical evaluation.
Two of the recruits were hospitalized and later released although the department said there were other contributing factors, unrelated to the training, that led to this rise in heat exhaustion.
At all times emergency medical technicians are on site to immediately respond to such emergencies. Firemen at the training facility Sunday said they take rest and hydration seriously at the training school because it's five days a week of continuous exposure to the elements there.
News 2 spoke with the department this weekend and they say safety officers will work together to evaluate possible changes or improvements to ensure safety.
Friday there was a "safety stand down" to discuss hydration, rest and recovery.

Courses that I have taught at St. Bonaventure University:
I believe in expanding opportunities and learning to all students through a comprehensive plan of theory, practice and reflection. I attempt to provide opportunities to expand candidates' learning and experience with practicing experts in the field while allowing time for skill development, theory into practice sessions, and increasing the opportunity for effective reflection. Debriefing that reflection to capitalize on the strengths of all candidates is key within the course development.
Candidates need to hone their own unique skills and grow in ways to strengthen their creativity and flexibility so they can adapt and be the leaders that the schools of tomorrow needs. The structure of the student course work and my own teaching is based on best practices in the field with a constant eye on what an evolving administrator needs to develop to face the challenges of the future.

|Forums: Index → Help desk → Locating heaviest Semantic queries
Dear community,
I'm trying to locate the heaviest Semantic queries on Narutopedia in order to later convert them into Concepts, that can be cached properly. Currently Narutopedia is one of the heaviest hitters when it comes to consumed DB time, which should really not be the case. Plus, caching will make the wiki considerably faster.
How to spot a heavy query?
Queries begin with an {{#ask and then specify a number of conditions, that need to be true, for a page to end up in the results of the query. These may include a type of jutsu, an episode number, etc. Generally speaking, the more conditions, the heavier the query is. Three conditions is a good bet, four is a bullseye, two would be a suspect we can look at, too. ;)
Please, if you can, list any pages that contain such queries below. Thanks! --TOR 23:38, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Um all the queries are basically done on these 3 pages. Template:MediaNav Template:FamilyTree Template:Infobox/Naruto/Character Down in the jutsu section (Would have liked to used ! comparators for media, but couldn't seem to get that to work) Sorry if I messed anything up with doing queries wrong. Simant (talk) 23:48, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, it would help if I could store variables (i guess with #vardefine) so I wouldn't have to ask for the same result twice. Simant (talk) 00:30, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, Simant! That helped a lot. Here are the concepts that I created:
(0) Creating cache for "Concept:Characters" ... (1) Creating cache for "Concept:Jutsu" ... (2) Creating cache for "Concept:Tools" ... (3) Creating cache for "Concept:Episodes of Naruto Original" ... (4) Creating cache for "Concept:Arcs of Naruto Original" ... (5) Creating cache for "Concept:Movies of Naruto Original" ... (6) Creating cache for "Concept:Movies of Naruto Shippuden" ... (7) Creating cache for "Concept:Arcs of Naruto Shippuden" ... (8) Creating cache for "Concept:Episodes of Naruto Shippuden" ...
Hope the changes didn't break anything. Feel free to shout at me if they did. :) --TOR 13:17, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


text: I'm trying to make this simple and just look at a very basic upgrade to the starting lineup for 2013. Obviously, there will be more draft picks on the roster and possibly more Free Agents, but for now I'm just going with a few basic changes to the starting lineup. I'm including the slot WR and slot CB as well as some co-starters at a couple of positions. The changes from the 2012 roster are: All players healthy. Two draft picks. One mid-level Free Agent. Offense LT – Smith LG – draft pick Jonathan Cooper OC – Costa or Kowalski or Bernadeau to start the season (work draft pick Khalad Holmes or Barrett Jones into the lineup as the season progresses) RG – Move Livings to this side next to Parnell RT - Parnell WR – Dez, Austin, Harris (Only 2.36M cap hit in 2013 to cut Austin vs 8.3M to keep) TE – Witten, Hanna RB - Murray FB – Vickers Could cut Austin and use the 6M in cap space to sign a decent veteran WR. Defense OLB – Ware, Spencer (Franchise or sign to a new contract) ILB – Lee, Carter DE – Hatcher, Lissemore/Crawford NT – Ratliff and Mid-level FA like Terrance Knighton (6-3, 330) CB – Carr, Claiborne, Scandrick Safety – Sensabaugh, Church (I expect a draft pick here but not a day-1 starter) Play Ratliff primarily at DT in the 4-man line of the nickel defense. .

U.S. Army Sgt. Joshua Smith talks to group of Afghan children during a combined patrol clearing operation in Afghanistan's Ghazni province on April 28, 2012. (U.S. Army/Flickr)
There is an emerging trend among international counterinsurgency (COIN) experts to claim that Afghanistan was a "mission impossible" in terms of nation-building endeavors. Others contend that after a planned U.S. withdrawal in 2014 (which will likely trigger a quick EU/NATO exit) a devastating civil war will be the fate of Afghanistan, leading to another Taliban rise. These negative assumptions have created a dismal future scenario. Many analysts, writers and even policy experts are now more inclined to accept war and conflict as a new normal in Afghanistan. Even hopelessness has crept in. Consequently, policy makers in important capitals of the world are now thinking more in terms of "crisis management" rather than "conflict resolution."
This approach is counterproductive and even self-defeating. A different and more positive end is still achievable in Afghanistan, and for that Western states must remain engaged — though in more creative ways than are presently employed.
Before delving into the discussion about what can potentially transform the situation under prevailing circumstances, it is critical to evaluate six realities on ground:
What could transform the situation? There are several avenues for sustainable change. First, a law enforcement model that focuses on enhancing the capabilities of the criminal justice system rather than the armed forces of Afghanistan. Second, investment in independent revenue generation all across Afghanistan (not only in areas under Northern Alliance influence). Third, an EU financial commitment until 2024 to supporting development projects (as discussed in Chicago and Tokyo conferences) will be required. For the U.S., winning the public opinion battles in urban centers of both Afghanistan and Pakistan is at important as defeating Al-Qaeda and its affiliates in the field. Fourth, negotiating with insurgents active on the ground (e.g., Helmand and Kandahar) rather than overly focusing on Mullah Omar and the Haqqani group. A well-developed de-radicalization strategy — framed in an Islamic context — to discredit the distorted Jihad ideology will be critical.
Finally, without a consensus (or some collaborative arrangement) among regional players to stabilize Afghanistan, no Western security policy is likely to be sustainable.

Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project
P-61-A1 Sampler, with Case
HIF/FISP Part # 4102001
OFA Price: $7,455.00*/Each
*Pricing may change due to manufacturer reordering,
please call the HIF at (800) 382-0634 for final pricing and
The US P-61-A1 is a point-integrating suspended-sediment sampler that has an electrically operated valve for starting and stopping the collection of a sample. The sampler is lowered to the desired depth in the water column, the sample collected by remotely opening and closing the valve, and then the sampler is raised to the surface for removal of the sample container.
The sampler has a streamlined cast bronze body 28 in long that weighs 105 lbs. It has tail fins to orient the sampler so that the intake nozzle in the head points directly into the approaching flow. The sampler head is hinged to provide access to the pint or quart bottle sample container located in a cavity in the sampler body. An exhaust port pointing downstream on the side of the sampler head permits escape of air from the sample container as it is displaced by the sample being collected. The sampler uses a 3/16-in internal diameter nozzle and can be used in stream velocities ranging from 1.5 to 10 ft/sec. It can be used to a depth of 180 ft with a pint container and 120 ft with a quart container.
To eliminate a sudden inrush of sample due to hydrostatic pressure, the diving bell principle is used to balance the air pressure in the bottle with the hydrostatic pressure at the nozzle prior to opening the valve at the start of sampling. The diving bell in the sampler is the body cavity behind and surrounding the sample container. It is connected by ports through the valve system to the surrounding stream and to the sample bottle.
The operating current may be supplied by the US RBP-06 rechargeable battery pack, which is sold separately.HIF Repairable.
Where and how the sampler is deployed in the field is as important as the fundamental design of the sampler. Additional information about how to properly use this sampler can be found in the following references:
Edwards, T.K., and Glysson, G.D., 1999, Field Methods for Measurement of Fluvial Sediment: U.S. Geological Survey Techniques of Water Resources Investigations, book 3 chapter C2, 89 p.
A copy of operating instructions at located at (http://water.usgs.gov/fisp/docs/Instructions_US_P-61-A1_030115.pdf) and is provided with each sampler.

Reviews of this property
We are quite disappointed about our stay at Jullet her place. First, it takes some 1hr 30m to travel to Manhattan by bus, and subway. Second, the place is simply not clean and a lot of material was lying around. We cleaned the table ourselves after removing some demolished PC. Third we were reprimanded because we have thrown away a dirty and smelly sink sponges. We were not allowed to displace items we were told. Fourth we were supposed not to eat a pizza with pork meat on. We admit that we made a mistake because we found a note afterwards saying not to bring pork meat into the kitchen. We apologized. By the series of events we were reprimanded badly and felt offended by our host. She did not bother to introduce herself (or to say goodbye). Further, do not use the microwave and water cooker at the same time because the fuse will burn. So, in order to be on the save side, we switched the lights off when using the microwave to heat some milk. The place is very noisy and as a consequence we could not sleep few evenings because of her late evening (>10.30hr) phone calls and other activities. The bedroom is quite small (there is just enough space to stand next to the bed). The water in the bathroom does not properly heat. By the way, you may shower for five minutes another note says. Clearly, we would not go back at any time.
Pleasant, pleasant atmosphere! Clean, friendly, helpful, what more could you want? Who can erangieren with a 1h drive to Manhattan will be happy with the accommodation.
Angenehmes, sehr gepflegtes Ambiente! Sauber, freundlich, hilfsbereit, was will man mehr?! Wer sich mit einer 1h Fahrt bis nach manhattan erangieren kann wird mit der Unterkunft zufrieden sein.
When we arrived we had to wait quiet a long time for someone to let us in; obviously there had been a misunderstanding.
Our room with two beds, A/C, TV was located in the basement, we shared kitchen and bathroom with Jullett and the other guests. Our room and the shared facilities were clean, nothing to complain.
Two "underemployed" dogs share the clairaudient apartment, and a big street is next to the house. If you are sensitive use earplugs and close the window at night.
The apartment is located in Queens in a safe neighborhood. It`s a two minutes walk to the bus station (Q85 to Jamaica Center). To go to Manhattan takes at least 60 min.
Its easy to reach JFK, about 10 min. by bus.
Within reach of Julletts house there are kiosks, fast food and a laundry.
WiFi worked.
Jullett and her brother are helpful and friendly hosts. We got a map of NYCs public transportation system and useful informations how to discover Manhattan.
very nice place with a little garden at the back and chair in front to chill when the weather is nice. so convinient next to the bus to the subway and also next to JFK the bus bus going to jfk stops at the corner of the street. a good neighborhood with laundromat, shops hair dresser and nails salon. and a great host. perfect place to stay.
Booking with Jullet was easy and she communicated well before my arrival. She was at work when I arrived but her brother was there to let me in. Jullet was a joy to speak with and we ended up having a long conversation as we have some things in common. She is warm, friendly and knows her business. The room was ready and as described on the website. I recommend staying at her place. She is close to JFK airport for travelers needing a good place to stay. She has a list of rules but they are simply common sense things that you would follow in your own home. Have a great day!
The room was great, clean and cool, but more importantly it had a really good wifi connection.
We had shared bathroom which was fresh.
The kitchen had all you needed. The host even supplied free eggs and bacon which we could have.
The transportation was okay, it took around 45 minutes to get to manhattan center. One good thing was that the bus station was right next to the house.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything fine!
Jullet is a really nice women and helped me wherever she could.
I was there during my exchange semester for 3 months and it was very comfortable.
Typical New York suburb area with a very good MTA connection to Long Island and Manhatten.
So just book it and have fun!
Lovely place with really nice people. very helpfull. I recommand the place
Very clean room in the vincinity of jfk Airport.
Easily to come to with local bus Q3 . The bus goes directly to subway too.
I think highly recommended .
Thank you ,Jullet, for that kind of acommodation
Hi guys, before leaving make sure you got the RIGHT address ... Bad experience happened to me, got lost; luckily very helpful host came to pick me up!!!

Mick Fleetwood: Christine McVie 'rejoining' Fleetwood Mac
Listen to Fleetwood Mac on iHeartRadio
There's more indication that Christine McVie is returning to Fleetwood Mac.
According to the fan site FleetwoodMac.net, Mick Fleetwood gave confirmation over the weekend that the singer-keyboardist was back in the fold. Performing at Uncle Willie K's BBQ Blues Fest in Maui Saturday, the drummer reportedly told the crowd, "This is the worst kept secret there is, but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac."
However, Fleetwood Mac hasn't officially announced that Christine is once again in the group. She left the band in 1998.
Questions about Christine's return cropped up throughout 2013. While at the start of the year she said she had no desire to rejoin the group, her position softened over time.
In September she sat in on two of Fleetwood Mac's London concerts to perform "Don't Stop." Afterward, she said the shows reminded her of how much she enjoyed being in the band, and that she wanted to return.

ST. JOHN'S (TC MEDIA) — Retired politician and former lieutenant-governor John Crosbie says he's worried and dismayed by the state of politics in Newfoundland and Labrador right now, and especially the state of the PC party.
Crosbie spoke at a gathering in The Republic bar on Duckworth Street celebrating the work of journalist and satirist Ray Guy Saturday afternoon.
When he took to the microphone, Crosbie started by making a few jokes at the expense of Joey Smallwood, and reading from a 1969 Ray Guy column, about the running political battles between Smallwood and the Progressive Conservatives. Then, Crosbie veered away from history and into current political matters, specifically focused on the PC party.
"We have the same problems in Newfoundland here today. They never change. All kinds of skulduggery," he said.
"We haven't advanced very far in political life here in Newfoundland if this is the kind of the thing that happens to one of our major parties, that they can't even organize a leadership convention," Crosbie said.
Since starting out his life in provincial politics as a Liberal cabinet minister in the 1960s, Crosbie went on to run for and lose the Liberal leadership against Smallwood, before switching parties and eventually becoming a senior cabinet minister in the Progressive Conservative government of Frank Moores.
Later, as a federal politician, Crosbie ran for the leadership of the Canadian Progressive Conservative Party, losing to Brian Mulroney.
So he had a lot of experience on his side when he started lamenting the current PC party leadership race.
The PC party organized a leadership process to replace Kathy Dunderdale, who resigned as premier in January. Three candidates came forward, but after one candidate was kicked out of the race and another one withdrew voluntarily, Frank Coleman became the premier-in-waiting by default.
Crosbie said it's shocking that no member of the Progressive Conservative cabinet — or even the broader government caucus — stepped forward to run for the top job.
"Christ, what kind of a party are they at all? They're all afraid to run for the leadership," he said. "I mean, I'll tell you, when I was around and I had a chance to run for the leadership, I ran for the God damn leadership."
Crosbie questioned whether Coleman is really going to be in charge or if he's beholden to somebody else.
Speaking to The Telegram afterwards, Crosbie said he believes former premier Danny Williams orchestrated the PC party leadership.
"Just what is going on here? Why weren't there any contenders from the present caucus and the present cabinet? This is a first time in my experience, certainly here in Newfoundland, but I haven't heard of it anywhere else either," he said. "There's nobody else who's in any position to be exerting that influence other than Danny."
In the Republic bar, Crosbie said part of the reason he came out to the Ray Guy event is that as a politician, he admired Guy's aggressive honesty.
"It's a bloody pity that we haven't got a Ray Guy here today to describe what's going on and give his opinions on it," Crosbie said. "He was a tremendous adornment to the journalism profession here in Newfoundland."
The focus of Crosbie's speech was on the PC party, but speaking to The Telegram afterwards, he said he's not sold on the alternative either.
"I think it has been a great weakening of the PC party, and whether they can come back from that, I don't know," he said. "Whether the Liberals will be any better is very much to be seen because I haven't heard any strong statements from the head of the Liberal party as to what their policies are going to be or not going to be.
"They're just waiting now to have it all fall into their laps."

Enrique Iglesias recently boasted about having a tiny...well, you know. Oddly, he's not the first big star to brag about a little package
She's a Man, Baby!
When Enrique Iglesias boasted about having a tiny...well, you know...it kind of actually impressed us. (Refreshingly honest, right?) But he's not the first. From Shia LaBoeuf to Howard Stern, here are more big stars who cop to having less than huge packages.More
His father may have crooned about all the girls he loved before, but Enrique Iglesias has a more modest approach. During an interview on Australian TV years ago, the 41-year-old singer delivered a humble brag for the ages when he claimed, "I have the smallest penis in the world." He wasn't joking. (In 2005, Iglesias gave an interview to the Houston Press in which he made a similar boast: "The next product I'm gonna put my name on is extra-small condoms. I can never find extra-small condoms, and I know it's really embarrassing for people—you know, from experience.") As if that weren't honest enough, Iglesias told the astonished Aussie audience, "I don't even last eight minutes now."
For years, Howard Stern has made fun of his own member, famously declaring he was "hung like a pimple." In a 1994 Rolling Stone cover story, the magazine asked Stern about his surprising honesty: "I think I might as well be up front about it," he replied. "No guy will ever admit to having a small penis. I just went on the record. I might be one of the smallest guys in the world." Stern also revealed that at one point he'd wanted his book Private Parts to be titled Penis "because I thought if it went onto TheNew York Times' best-seller list, it would be `Howard Stern's Penis.' And they'd have to write `Howard Stern's Penis is No. 1.'"

Obama administration begins stealth bailout of Detroit
President Barack Obama is using $100 million in taxpayer cash to help keep Detroit's pension funds afloat, contradicting his administration's commitment to avoid a bailout.
The federal $100 million is being described as "blight remediation," but it allows the city's new managers to reshuffle more cash into the city employees' pension funds, which were looted by city and union officials for several decades.
The stealth bailout was exposed by the Detroit Free Press, which said the $100 million would be taken from the so-called "Hardest Hit Fund." That fund was created by the administration in 2010 to counter the disastrous implosion of the federally-inflated real estate bubble.
White House officials have consistently tried to downplay public concerns that he would bailout the city.

Brady Declares Looming Tax Cliff and Red Tape Explosion Stall Growth
Obama Recovery Weaker than Previously Reported
Washington D.C.-Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, called today's Bureau of Economic Analysis report that real GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.5% during the second quarter of this year "troubling."
"Today's report is another indictment of President Obama's economic policies," Brady declared. "His policies produced the weakest recovery since World War II. If the President insists on piling on more regulatory red tape and driving the economy off the tax cliff at the end of the year, the situation will only get worse."
Since the recession ended three years ago, the economy has only grown by a total of 6.7%, less than half the average 15.2% of the other nine post-World War II recoveries and significantly less than the 18.5% the economy grew during the comparable period of the Reagan recovery.
"As disturbing as today's topline number is, the downgrading of the recovery helps to explain why job growth is near stall speed," Brady explained. "What's missing from this recovery is strong growth in private sector investment. Even though private investment is the lifeblood of economic growth and job creation, President Obama wants to punish the job creators that make the investments needed to create jobs for American workers."
Brady said that he hoped the Federal Reserve does not respond to today's news by printing more money. "Chairman Bernanke needs to look the President and the Congress in the eye and say, 'It's up to you to do your jobs. Don't drive the economy off the tax cliff.'"

David Adjaye isn't the first design professional to venture into furniture design—with a focus on chairs, no less. But in his inaugural line for Knoll, the British architect reexamines utilitarian seating with an eye-catching duo that get their signature shape from an architectural cantilever and lattice-like geometry.
The Washington Collection's Skeleton chair features a perforated frame made of die-cast aluminum. A study in contrast, the collection's Skin chair applies the same pattern in an envelope of reinforced nylon. Both launched Oct. 1. "When you look more closely, you see that one is the skeleton and one is the muscle," Adjaye told the Financial Times last month of the pieces' materiality.
Skeleton's gaps do more than just contrast Skin's cohesive form—they also play with light to cast its pattern across the floor. Knoll's executive vice-president for design, Benjamin Pardo, told Fast Company that he pegged Adjaye for the new collection because of his reputation for combining dissimilar materials into innovative constructions. Skeleton, Pardo says, "becomes a whole other chair when the light is coming through."
Mortise-and-tenon construction connects the chairs' seat and legs to achieve the deep cantilever. Skeleton is offered in black, green, or gray powder coats as well as a natural copper plating that will patina over time. Skin is available in seven colors that resist fading. Both can be used outdoors and are Greenguard-certified for indoor air quality.
Bold plays with material are prevalent in Adjaye's work. At the 42,000-square-foot National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., which is scheduled for completion in 2015, bronze-coated aluminum cladding will diffuse light while giving the building its crown-like form. It will also contrast the light-colored marble and granite of its neighboring museums and memorials on the National Mall. Adjaye's eponymous firm joins the Freelon Group, Davis Brody Bond, and SmithGroup as project architects.
In a profile of the project in the New Yorker last month, Adjaye elaborated on the design. "[It] was something we adapted, through many prototypes, from the ornamental metal castings that were done by slaves and former slaves in Charleston and New Orleans before and after the Civil War—using techniques that had been developed much earlier in Benin and other African cultures," Adjaye said. "In some panels, the pattern is denser than in others. I want the light to be articulated, so the east side of the building has one kind of light and the south side has another—a continuous dappling light."
For his inaugural furniture line, which has the design community's attention, Adjaye also designed a cast-bronze sculptural coffee table for the collection, of which the company says it will limit production to 75 models. A club chair, ottoman, and side table will be added to the collection in early 2014. Knoll, knoll.com

Finally got a hogg it!!!!
Hey guys,
Well after all of the talk and build up of the Spot Hogg Hogg It, I finally broke down and bought me one last Wednesday. I must say, everything that has been said about how great these sights are is no lie. I put it on my SB and with in 10 minutes I was shooting 1/2 inch groups at 15 yards, granted it is in my basement and that is as far as I can shoot. When I took the sight out of the box I just couldn't help but stare at the craftsmanship that went into this sight. By far the micro adjust on it is bar none, I really like how the adjustment on it has to be done with an allen wrench not a knob. I was amazed at how stiff the windage adjustment screw was, definitely no room for looseness or that little bit of free movement I have had in the past with other sights that have a knob for the gang windage adjustment. I see people on AT cringing at the thought of paying the kind of money you do for these sights, but like I always say, "you get what you pay for". I mean would you rather buy 2-3 sights and spend the same amount of money you would have to spend on a Hogg It, or buy one sight and be satisfied with it and never have to second guess yourself down the road if you made the right decision. Well I guess I will get off of my soapbox, I was just really impressed with every aspect of Spot Hogg and their products. Can't wait to get outside and get all of the pins sighted in.Switchback 28"

Ficus and I were shooting pool at one of my favorite pubs and we ordered a some drinks. Nikkiy was working there and immediately Ficus understood why I like the place above all others. I had been scoping her out and doing reconnaissance on her for about a week or so as soon as I noticed she started working there. She offered the daily drink special which were shots of super strong tequila and we happily obliged on one condition, she take some shots with us. Nikkiy agreed and really started to unwind. She told us about her predicament and how she ended up tending bar. After the sob story, which I all but ignored, I told her she should call it quits early and have some fun for a change since it was the best stress reliever. I worked it out with the owner of the bar which knows me since I am a regular and all I had to do was make sure he got a copy of the footage. I emailed him his very own password so he could see my latest conquest. You wont want to miss her perfectly perky tits and beautiful pussy.

Alrite guys....
Looking for some advice,
I have trained in MMA for about 18months now.
each session is a mixture of kettlebells conditioning, bjj, muay thai and wrestling, very intense.
I do 2 hour sessions, 3-4 times a week.
Current supplementation -
Phd Synergy before training or mid afternoon on non training days,
Phd Pharma Gain mid morning with some berries,
Phd Recovery after my sessions,
Phd Catalyst morning and night
3 Omega caps before bed with some lean protein and no carbs.
I have a reasonable knowledge of nutrition and eat 3 good meals a day working around the above supplements. This was working great and still does every 2nd week...........
Problem is I have recently moved to a nightshift roster, week on/week off.
Great time off but I'm struggling with my diet during the night..... I don't know whether I should be treating my nightshift as a normal day or should I be changing things up during my shift? I find it hard and Im just not hungry after midnight which is a long time to go without calories if Im not home and eating until half 7 ish.
My shifts are 21:00 - 06:30. I go for a 4mile jog when I get home, then have my porridge and head to bed for 5-6 hours. I do a kettlebell workout 3 times during my week off as well, no MMA training though due to my shifts and distance I need to travel.
Just looking for a couple of opinions,
