June-July 2007
In what is one of NCAR's larger classes of new hires
in recent years, the center has hired seven Scientists I
and one Research Engineer I. Interests range from computer
science to air pollution to the interior of the Sun.
"This group of remarkable researchers will complement
our existing staff with a diversity of strengths and talents," says
NCAR director Tim Killeen.
A search committee from across NCAR, headed by ASP director
Maura Hagan, helped select the new scientists from a large
pool of applicants.
Following are brief profiles.
Judith Berner.
Judith Berner (ESSL/CGD)
Judith is interested in nonlinear
processes and multi-scale interactions in short-range weather
forecasts and climate models.
As a student and ASP postdoctoral fellow at NCAR, she studied
weather regimes and transitions in observations and models.
She then became interested in the stochastic (random) parameterization
of unresolved processes and their impact on model variability
and model error. Other research interests include tropical
variability, cellular automata, and the optimal representation
of atmospheric dynamics in truncated models.
Judith currently works at the European Centre for Medium-Range
Weather Forecasts in Reading, United Kingdom, on the representation
of model error in ensemble systems by stochastic kinetic
energy backscatter schemes. She first came to CGD on an internship
in 1997.
She has a Ph.D. in meteorology from the University of Bonn.
Alma Hodzic (ESSL/ACD)
Alma Hodzic.
Alma's goal is to improve the way models represent
the formation and evolution of aerosols and how they interact
with gas-phase chemistry and meteorology. She's especially
interested in modeling aerosols on urban and regional scales,
characterizing the composition and origin of aerosol pollutants
by improving the representation of aerosol emission sources
and their formation processes, and studying interactions
between aerosols, gases, and clouds. She's involved
with the development of CHIMERE, a multi-scale air quality
model, and WRF-Chem, a model for real-time predictions of
weather and
air quality.
Alma has been an ASP postdoctoral fellow in ESSL/ACD since
2005, focusing on modeling of aerosol properties and processes
in highly polluted conditions such as megacities and wildfires.
She participated in MIRAGE, last year's field project
that examined the chemical and physical transformations of
gases and aerosols in Mexico City's air pollution.
Alma has a Ph.D. in atmospheric science from France's École
Polytechnique and a master's degree in meteorology
from the National School of Meteorology in Toulouse.
Peter Lauritzen (ESSL/CGD)
Peter Lauritzen.
Peter's research centers on improving our understanding
of the global atmosphere through better numerical algorithms,
with a focus on representing the dynamics of the atmosphere
using numerical methods that respect important physical properties.
Peter has been an ASP postdoctoral fellow in CGD since 2006,
where he has worked on finite-volume methods as well as conservative
regridding algorithms. He started his fellowship by co-authoring
a review chapter on "Finite-Volume Methods in Meteorology" for
a handbook on numerical methods used in the atmospheric and
oceanic sciences. He has also collaborated with CISL/IMAGe,
contributing to NCAR's HOMME (High Order Method Modeling
Environment) project through a new shape-preserving and conservative
interpolation method between the cubed-sphere and regular
longitude grid systems.
Peter has a Ph.D. in climate and environment and a master's
degree in geophysics from the University of Copenhagen.
Mark Miesch (ESSL/HAO)
Mark Miesch.
Mark is interested in astrophysical and geophysical
fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, with particular
emphasis on the solar interior. He has created models that
simulate subsurface solar processes in unprecedented detail,
providing insights into such problems as how the Sun generates
the magnetic fields that lie at the root of solar variability
and space weather, and why the Sun has a differential rotation
with the equator spinning faster than the poles. His work
also sheds light on the stability and dynamics of the layer
at the base of the convection zone known as the tachocline.
Mark's interests in space weather extend to the far-flung
impact of solar storms. He is working with HAO colleagues
to develop a numerical model that will simulate the propagation
and evolution of coronal mass ejections, which are eruptions
of large amounts of matter from the Sun's outer atmosphere.
His goal is to simulate the ejections from their origins
in magnetic structures beneath the surface of the Sun to
their interactions with the plasma and fields that comprise
the Earth's magnetosphere and uppermost atmospheric
Mark has a Ph.D. from CU-Boulder in astrophysics. He came
to NCAR in 2001 as an ASP postdoctoral fellow, later becoming
a project scientist.
Hugh Morrison (ESSL/MMM)
Hugh Morrison.
Hugh's research interests are cloud microphysics and
the development and testing of cloud parameterization in
models. An ASP postdoctoral fellow in ESSL/MMM since 2005,
he's been focused on developing a new approach for
treating ice microphysics and interactions between the microphysics
and turbulent mixing in cloud models.
Hugh has also studied Arctic clouds and is a member of the
American Meteorological Society's Cloud Physics Committee.
He's co-chair of the GEWEX (Global Energy and Water
Cycle Experiment) Cloud System Study Polar Cloud Working
Group, helping foster relationships with the international
Hugh has a master's degree and a Ph.D. from CU-Boulder
in astrophysical, planetary, and atmospheric sciences.
Synte Peacock (ESSL/CGD)
Synte Peacock.
Synte's research focuses on using large-scale global
ocean circulation models to investigate the uptake and redistribution
of natural and anthropogenic trace gases. Her oceanic interests
extend to the characterization of age distributions, the
use of tracers to infer rates of deep convection, radiocarbon
in the ocean from both natural sources and nuclear bombs,
and better characterization of the ocean as a source/sink
for methyl chloroform. She is also interested in the causes
of long-term glacial and interglacial cycles in atmospheric
carbon dioxide.
Synte has been at NCAR since April on an ASP faculty fellowship,
undertaking high-resolution ocean modeling. She comes
to NCAR from the University of Chicago, where she was an
assistant professor in the department of geophysical
Synte has a master's degree and Ph.D. in geochemistry
and physical oceanography from Columbia University, as well
as a master's in geology and geophysics from Oxford
Scott Spuler (EOL)
Scott Spuler.
Scott is EOL's technical lead for
active optical remote sensing instruments. He played a key
role in researching and designing the Raman-shifted Eye-safe
Aerosol Lidar (REAL), a tool that emits pulses of light
to measure airborne particles and clouds. REAL is considered
a substantial advance because it can be deployed in populated
areas to track the movement of pollutants and other atmospheric
Scott is working on improvements to REAL that will reveal
characteristics such as the shapes of particles, and he's
calibrating the signal to a molecular reference. He is also
working on a new instrument to measure wind velocities in
undisturbed flow ahead of the Gulfstream-V aircraft.
Scott has a Ph.D. in engineering systems from the Colorado
School of Mines, where his focus was on applied optics and
the development of in situ laser measurement tools for airborne
trace species. He came to NCAR in 2002 as an optical
Matthew Woitaszek (CISL)
Matthew Woitaszek.
Matthew's research interests include the computational
systems, software, storage, and infrastructure required to
support high-performance science; Grid services that reduce
the technical complexity of conducting collaborative research;
and federated data storage between collaborative institutions.
Matthew has been involved with the use of Grid technology
to support Earth science workflows since he became an NCAR
student assistant in 2003, working on a project with colleagues
to develop infrastructure to run the Biome-BGC (BioGeochemical
Cycles) simulation as a Grid service so that scientists from
institutions outside NCAR can participate.
The objective of his storage research is to demonstrate that
reliable archival storage systems can be built upon a
suite of emerging technologies such as massive arrays of
spinning disks, data grid tools, and block-level LDPC
(low-density parity check) erasure coding techniques called
Tornado Codes. He's also interested in supercomputer
system design and performance.
Matthew has a Ph.D. in computer science from CU-Boulder.

A deadlocked regulation 90 minutes saw the game go into extra time.
Jason Bowen put Newport ahead with a diving header on 113 minutes, but Steve Thompson's rifled equaliser meant the tie would be decided from the spot.
County's Damon Searle was the first to miss but Thompson then shot wide before Jack Carlisle saw his effort saved.
Newport are now guaranteed at least £50,000 for reaching the final, with a possible £100,000 up for grabs if they can overcome either Llanelli or Carmarthen, who meet in their semi-final next Tuesday.
Charlie Griffin should have put Newport ahead with an early chance, but pushed his shot across the Cardiff goal after a good turn had created space.
After that Cardiff - fielding several senior players - took control, as might be expected from a Championship side playing at home against a non-League side from the Conference South.
But a mixture of good keeping from Glyn Thompson and Cardiff profligacy - Thompson, in particular, wasting several good openings - kept the County goal intact.
Newport were still dangerous on the counter, however, with ex-Bluebird Bowen showing his class while Andy Gurney, Craig Hughes and Richard Evans all tested Cardiff keeper David Forde.
It also needed a fine challenge by Bluebirds skipper Darren Purse to deny Julian Alsop as the game heated up in the last 10 minutes of normal time.
At the other end Glyn Thompson had to be at his best to deny Jonathan Brown and namesake Steve Thompson in quick succession.
Extra time followed a similar pattern and the deadlock was finally broken as Searle's fine cross to the back post was rewarded with an even better header from Bowen, hurling himself full length to find the net.
But with Newport scarcely finished celebrating Cardiff hit back, Glenn Loovens' driving run allowing Tyrrell Webbe to lay-off for Thompson to curl home right-footed.
The penalty shoot-out that followed began with eight excellent strikes that gave neither keeper any chance of a save.
But then Searle smacked Newport's fifth spot-kick against the bar, only for Thompson to hurry his following effort and scuff wide Cardiff's chance to take the advantage.
Lee Jarman then made no mistake to heap the pressure on Cardiff youngster Carlisle, whose shot was on target but not good enough to beat County keeper Glyn Thompson.
Cardiff City: David Forde, Aaron Morris, Matthew Smith, Riccardo Scimeca, Darren Purse (capt), Glenn Loovens, Trevor Sinclair, Darcy Blake, Steve Thompson, Jonathan Brown, Tyrrell Webbe.Subs: Anthony Acheampong, Erwin Sak, Adam Matthews, Jack Carlile, Sam Wade.
Newport County: Glyn Thompson, Steve Jenkins (capt), Damon Searle, Andy Gurney, Lee Jarman, Mark Dodds, Jason Bowen, Lee Fowler, Charlie Griffin, Craig Hughes, Richard Evans.Subs: James Simpson, Nathan Davies, Julian Alsop, Jermaine Clarke, Scott James.

You are correct, that statement taken out of context is just plain
The point I obviously didn't make clearly enough is this: Given
a network with a edge device performing firewall functions, with no
externally accessible services, a corporate network is a juicier target
for crackers than a home network.
If a provider's IP address space is scanned, and 50% of the machines
have a firewall of some type, and the other half don't, the scanners
will simply skip the ones that are protected and go for the easy kill.
And the simple fact of the matter is that those cheesy boxes from d-link
and linksys provide a sufficient amount of protection for most home
users, even though I would argue that they aren't true firewalls.
I fear this thread has gotten way off topic, and I'm afraid that I
contributed to that. I apologize for that. Here's an attempt to get
back on topic
My opinion about feature creep in m0n0wall: I love m0n0wall the way it
is, and have no wish for any other features. In my mind, it has
the target.
I recognize that it might not meet all the needs of all the current
users. Some things might make sense to add to m0n0wall in the context
a SOHO router/firewall/nat box. I have confidence in Manuel's vision
m0n0wall and believe he will not bloat the software.
If some new feature (like say, NTP serving on internal interfaces) is
added, I don't have a problem with that, as long as I have the option to
disable it.
If m0n0wall starts to bloat beyond what is acceptible to me, I always
have the option of building my own firewall system. That's what Manuel
did when he built m0n0wall. That is a decision I will have to make for
myself if that point ever arrives. I seriously doubt it will. After
all, I have to admit I used smoothwall for several years even when I
didn't like parts of it.
If someone wanted to build a kitchen-sink system based around the m0n0
design, I might even enjoy helping with that. But I would still want
a minimal firewall for myself.
I would hate to see m0n0wall itself become something like a fileserver.
I personally feel that type of function doesn't belong in an edge
Someone backing their system up to the fileserver shouldn't affect
internet access performance, and in such a device it certainly could.
On a side note, I just ordered 2 4801s, one for myself and one for my
parents, to be running m0n0wall. I think this will reduce my support
load with my parents, and will reduce space requirements in their
crowded computer room. Besides, that machine they're currently using
could make a decent linux play machine for dad.
Thanks everyone for all the lively discussion. I have enjoyed it.
Again, I apologize for the extent of the tangent.

Department Seminar Speakers
- Dr. Mihaela Bojin (QCC, CUNY)
- November 20, 2009
- Title: "What Happens To Amino Acids When the pH Changes?"
- Abstract: Using computational chemistry we explore different conformations of a series of amino acids using density functional (DFT) methods. Amino acids intra- and intermolecular interactions are significantly influenced by surrounding residues and the pH of their environments. Hydrogen bonds, in particular, control folding in secondary and tertiary structures in proteins and significantly affect enzymatic activity. By employing the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) method we determine the major conformers of aspartic acid (Asp), asparagine (Asn), serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) in their neutral (no charges), zwitterionic, acidic (protonated), and basic (deprotonated) forms, in gaseous and aqueous media. We find that changes in acidity critically influence and limit hydrogen bonding patterns, and thus the stability of the resulting conformers.

- Title: "1. Probing Chirality of Diamines by CD-sensitive Dimeric Zn-porphyrin Tweezers 2. Index of Freshness Analysis of Tuna Sushi and Sashimi Gathered from New York City Markets"
- Abstract: 1. For more than a decade, dimeric metalloporphyrin hosts, known as tweezers, have been successfully applied as chirality probes for determination of absolute configuration of a wide variety of chiral synthetic compounds and natural products. The tweezer methodology relies on a stereo-differentiating host/guest complexation between bis-porphyrin tweezer and chiral substrate containing two sites of coordination. This results in an intense exciton-split CD signal, which is diagnostic for the absolute configuration of the guest. In this presentation recent advances in the technique will be discussed, in particular its application to several classes of substrates and important natural compounds.
2. News articles have shown that the quality and safety of raw fish sold in New York City is questionable. Because of the potential dangers associated with the consumption of raw fish, the freshness of the raw tuna in the form of sushi and sashimi from 12 restaurants in New York metropolitan area was investigated. The determination of the index of freshness (K coefficient) and consequently the biochemical age of several fish samples was achieved by using a technique that extracts and quantifies the products of the ATP breakdown during fish aging. In this presentation data regarding the biochemical ages of the samples and their index of freshness are presented.
- Dr. Spiro Alexandratos (Hunter College, CUNY)
- September 25, 2009
- Title: "The Earth in Crisis: Pollution of Water in the Biosphere – Current Status and Steps Towards Renewal"
- Abstract: Groundwater is an essential resource yet it is being contaminated with metals and molecules that are highly toxic to plant and animal life. Metals (nickel, cobalt, chromium, copper, lead, cadmium, etc.) may be present at a level of 1 part per million – a level that seems low but is high enough to be toxic. As one of many examples, a site in the state of North Carolina, declared toxic by the US Environmental Protection Agency, is the former location of a battery recycling operation where lead from 95000 cubic meters of contaminated soil has migrated into the aquifer to a depth of 18 meters and now contaminates 320000 cubic meters of groundwater. Compounds that can contaminate groundwater include fuel components, pesticides, and steroids; this is especially serious because some alter the reproductive and endocrine systems of wildlife and humans by acting with estrogen, androgen, and thyroid hormone receptors. Current approaches to the removal of toxic metals from groundwater will be described, including contributions from our laboratory that have led to the development of three polymer-supported reagents: one for the removal of arsenic, one for the removal of radioactive metals, and one for the removal of perchlorate.
- Dr. Sanjai Kumar (Queens Collge, CUNY)
- April 3, 2009
- Title: "Understanding the Role of Protein Phosphorylation in Cell Siganling Using Chemical Biology Approaches"
- Abstract: Nek2 is a Ser/Thr centrosomal kinase that tightly regulates centrosome cohesion and separation so that accurate chromosome segregation is achieved during mitosis. In animal model, it has been shown that any abnormal activity of Nek2 kinase may lead to a loss of regulation in precise chromosome segregation during mitosis. In fact, Nek2 has been found to be abnormally expressed in many types of cancer cells and is a target for cancer therapy. While biochemical, proteomics and microscopic data strongly suggest that one of the main biological roles of Nek2 is to oversee the function of centrosome during the early mitosis and possibly during the entire cell cycle, a precise mechanism by which this is achieved at molecular level remains to be unraveled. We intend to develop novel chemical tools (inhibitors, substrates, and sensors) that will be used for discovering the unknown biological function of Nek2 in human biology and cancer.
- Dr. Richard Stripp (John Jay College)
- February 20, 2009
- Title: "Forensic Toxicology: The Medico-legal Aspects of Drugs and Chemicals"
- Abstract: This seminar will serve as an introduction to the basic principles of forensic toxicology. The emphasis will be on the common drugs/poisons that are encountered by the practicing forensic toxicologist and the approach to determining their medico-legal role in establishing the cause of death and disease. Topics that are explored include impairment versus intoxication and how the interpretation of drug effect is utilized in the criminal court setting. The science of ethanol and drugs of abuse, along with other important agents (sports doping drugs, therapeutic drugs, CO etc.), will be discussed as they relate to toxicology. An introduction to the basic applied methods of forensic toxicology is also presented including; biological samples, analytical schemes, and some of the special problems commonly encountered in forensic toxicology.

Rumer Willis Hits SAG Parties Following Demi Moore's Hospitalization (PHOTOS)
Sunday, Rumer hit People Magazine's SAG after-party where she hung with some of the Glee cast, but the party didn't stop there. Later, Rumer was spotted sneaking into Chateau Marmont where Harvey Weinsten threw one of his notorious A-List parties. So how was the starlet's demeanor?
"Rumer looked great and seemed to be in really good spirits," says a partygoer. "She spent the evening chatting with Glenn Close and held court at a table on the patio with a girlfriend as well as Chris Lowell from The Help."
As far as Rumer's partying behavior, we're told she flew under the radar and kept it very melow.
"She sipped on a drink and had a cigarette, but that was about it," adds our source. "She looked great and was more than in control."
Also at the party was Lindsay Lohan, who made sure to try and get some face time in with Harvey although we're told he spent the evening chatting with Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips.
The Glee gang including Darren Criss, Dianna Agron, and Jenna Ushkowitz with her Vampire Diaries beau Michael Trevino also rounded out the star studded guest list.

Cold Calling Tips
Why cold calling tips? Love it or hate it many businesses have to use cold calling to find new customers. How do you find cold calling? Is it something that you need to do in your business? I have put together these cold calling tips that I hope will help you when you next make a cold call to a potential customer.
Recently we published "10 Top Tips When Answering the Phone", lets now reverse that with cold calling tips.
10 Cold Calling Tips
Having spent some time researching this subject here are 10 cold calling tips for you to try.
- Have a goal. Know exactly what your purpose is for this call. What do you want to achieve? Is it to get an appointment or make a sale?
- Know your prospect. Before you call find out about the company. Will they need your product? How will they best use your product? You need to know so that you can prepare your pitch to suit your prospect. If you do you will more likely be successful.
- Have your opening statement well prepared. When you speak those first few words you need to sound confident and pleasing to the listener. Make sure that you will sound friendly and clear and concise about the purpose of your call in a way that will capture their interest. You will only have one shot at this and those first few seconds will inevitably be the most important part of the call otherwise you will not have a call at all.
- What should you include in the opening statement? Include a greeting, good morning etc. Introduce yourself by name. Include something about the prospect, the benefits of your service and make a transition to a question. Here is an example. "Good morning Mr. Smith. This is John Jones of ABC Office Furniture. I have just read in the paper that you will be moving to new premises in a few months time. We specialize in planning the layout of offices and supply the furniture most suitable for your needs. I'd like to ask a few questions to see how I can help you with your move."
- Have a script for the rest of your call. This does not have to be word for word as this can sound read to the prospect. Have notes that you can work through as reminders about what you are going to say.
- Ask for the appointment. Be bold and say something like, "It will be really good if we can meet. Are you free Wednesday or Thursday?"
- Get past the guard! Receptionists / secretaries often view it as their duty to screen their boss from unwanted calls. View them as a friend and not an enemy. Be very polite. Ask them to help you and make them feel valued for doing so. Don't try and sell your service to them as you don't want them deciding whether or not it is something that the company will need.
- Smooth the way for your cold call. Send a small promotional gift ahead of your call to break the ice and this helps your business to stand out from the crowd.
- Cold Calling works better in the mornings. Many cold callers feel that the mornings are less productive but many say that the mornings work best as the days work has not drained the decision maker at that time. If a person is tired or well involved in a job that must be finished before he / she can go home you are less likely to get a listening ear.
- Be persistent. It is said that 80% of sales are made after the fifth contact. Welcome rejection as you are getting closer to a sale not further away each time you call back. Keep practicing and you will get better on each call. After making calls analyze why they worked or failed and try and improve where you can.

The images above show the asteroid's movement among the background stars. The three pictures are of the same region in space, taken a half hour apart. The asteroid 1998 KY26 is the little dot that moves among the background stars from upper-left to lower-right in the frames.
The asteroid 1998 KY26 was discovered by Tom Gehrels on the night of May 28, 1998 (UT) during a routine scanning session. Although appearing as a small dot on the screen like any other asteroid, this near-Earth asteroid has some interesting properties. First, it passed close enough to the Earth for radar observations to be taken. From light curve measurements, its rotation period was calculated to be 10.7 minutes - the fastest rotating asteroid known. In fact, it is the fastest known rotating body in the solar system! Also, because of its orbit, this asteroid is the most accessible to spacecraft among those asteroids with well known orbits. As of 2002 July 28, 1998 KY26 was still the most accessible (lowest DeltaV = 3.9 km/s) asteroid among those NEOs with well-determined orbits.

A man with a violent history and four heinous charges of Child Molestation made his initial appearance in the Starke Circuit Court yesterday. Forty-three-year-old Steven L. O'Bryant pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against him and vehemently denied the allegations, insisting on a lie detector test to prove his innocence.
"These charges are sick and disgusting," O'Bryant said, insisting that while a lot of defendants claim they are innocent, he is truly so. He insisted that the state subject him to a lie detector test.
O'Bryant requested a court-appointed attorney represent him, as he is financially unable to provide his own attorney. He says since his release from the Department of Corrections on June 6, 2011, he has been unable to find a job because of the tattoos on his face. As a result, Starke Circuit Court Judge Kim Hall appointed Timothy Lemon to his case.
O'Bryant is accused of molesting a juvenile while he stayed at their residence over the course of two months from March 30 to May 30. He requested a speedy trial, and Judge Hall informed him that his attorney must file a written motion within 10 days.
O'Bryant was charged with murdering a Knox woman 25 years ago, on Oct. 28, 1987. After the charges were filed, O'Bryant claimed he was insane, but later withdrew his defense of insanity. After he was convicted, he filed a Motion to Modify Sentence – not to reduce the sentence, but to increase it to the death penalty, saying that when he gets out he is likely to hurt someone. He was released from the Department of Corrections on parole June 27, 2011, and he was released from parole on Jan. 9.
During the course of that murder case, however, Judge Kim Hall was the prosecuting attorney for the county in 1987. As a result, Hall felt it would be in the best interest of everyone involved if he were to recuse not only himself, but Magistrate Jeanene Calabrese from the case as well, as she is appointed to her position by Hall. As a result, the case will be heard by a judge of the St. Joseph Superior Court in South Bend.
Judge Hall set O'Bryant's bond at $500,000 surety, and set his first pretrial conference date for Oct. 31 at 8 a.m., and his second for Nov. 29 at 8 a.m. These dates are likely to change, however, as the case moves to St. Joseph.

The Republican Land of Oz
I am sure that Kansas is a wonderful place, but if Leavenworth Penitentiary is your best known landmark and a fictitious 12 year old girl from the "Land of Oz" is your most famous resident...then you might want to question why you are living in a state, where all everybody does...is dream about leaving!!!
Dorothy had to be hit on the head, threatened by a wicked witch and followed by three possible pedophiles with no first names...before wanting to come home.
If she had known that the Republicans now controlled both legislative chambers and the Governorship, she might have decided to still just be clicking her heels.
While Munchkin Land was a fantasy, Governor Sam Brownback has described the new reality of a unanimous conservative Republican state government as a "Grand Experiment" and model for other states to follow.
Unlike the experiment that forced a frightened monkey 75 miles into space last week on an Iranian rocket ship, Kansans voted to go along for this tumultuous ride.
The monkey landed back safely, but Kansans may not have as soft a landing after they see how the blueprint to implement Republican principles of small government and lower taxes, might leave John Gotti's 12x6 cell at Leavenworth, as the only affordable government housing plan.
So far this month as reported by the NYT..."the largest tax cut in Kansas history took effect, Medicaid was handed over to private insurers and the states welfare rolls and work force has been significantly slashed".
Next month they will be working on lowering pensions, reducing education financing and changing the way that judges are selected to insure that conservative social principles will not be undone by liberal activist judges. Or in other words...close the only medical clinic left in the state that still performs abortions, allow prayer in public schools and authorize Glen Beck's picture to be printed on a commemorative $3.00 bill.
As the Governor brandishes his record for legislating the "conservative dream", it is estimated that the tax cuts, "that never pay for themselves",...will cost the government $850 million in revenue in the coming fiscal year... to be paid for by raising the sales tax, repealing tax credits for food, rental housing, child care, mortgage interest deductions and by selling the soundtrack of "Les Miserables" as the new state song.
According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, if this program of lowering income taxes by raising sales taxes, gets implemented, it will cost the poorest 20% of Kansans on average, about a $148 per year and save the top 1% approximately $21,087 per year.
This is why the Republicans now seem to be willing to compromise with the President at the national level, because as the ultimate believer in "State Rights"...they finally understand it is better to control a Grand Experiment at the state level than negotiate a Grand Bargain. And with complete Republican control in 23 more states...winning the "Debt Ceiling" debate is a lot less important to people when they no longer have a roof over their head.
Before Sen. John Edwards could tell Gov. Mark Sanford...that "nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning"...is only true if the National Enquirer is not on your front lawn...he talked about two Americas.
But even he, didn't envision that his battle for "One America" would be won and lost between each and every state. That it is not democracy that is the Grand Experiment, but a map drawn of Red and Blue States, that may need a white flag waved to restore American values back into our government.

2. Just stunning that a population will sit back
and willfully allow the tax shifting that you are seeing in states like this and Louisianna.
People just smiling and slapping themselves on the back for raising their own taxes.

Women are outnumbered almost four to one by men in senior positions at the biggest companies, disclosures under new Australian Securities Exchange guidelines show.
A review by The Australian Financial Review of 50 company reports shows women occupy 21 per cent of senior management positions at companies that have made the disclosures.
The company reporting the smallest proportion of women at senior management level is Sims Metal Management with 6 per cent, followed by Toll Holdings with 8 per cent.
Toll human resources director Lesley Staples said the group's broader team of managers were 38 per cent female. "Of course there's more to be done but we are committed to meeting the challenge," she said.
Eleven chief executives gathered in Sydney yesterday to pledge to do more to get women into senior corporate jobs. Rio Tinto managing director
"There's a very, very strong business imperative for us . . . it's down to the leadership and dealing with the hidden bias we've all had before," Mr Peever said.
The Financial Review found the biggest cohort of female managers was at Sonic Healthcare and Macarthur Coal, each with 44 per cent. While Sonic Healthcare's employees are 77 per cent female, Macarthur Coal's are 21 per cent female and Macarthur stands out for having a higher proportion of women in management than in the company overall. Macarthur chief executive
Corporate performance prompted a rebuke from the federal government. "Good intentions will no longer be enough – we want good outcomes," Minister for the Status of Women,
ASX corporate governance council guidelines were updated last year to include tougher diversity requirements. The rules, which require measurable objectives and the proportion of women in senior ranks to be published, will not start to bite until next year but many companies have already reported.
But the guidelines themselves have been criticised. Their request for "measurable objectives" left companies wriggle room, said sex discrimination commissioner
"They use the terminology of measurable objectives and it's for organisations to interpret what that means, but we are trying to build a mass of women at senior leadership levels and that requires a target – a hard-and-fast target against which you can measure progress," Ms Broderick said.
AGL Energy has developed its measurable objectives around "establishing the foundations" for gender equity. It will focus on training and creating succession plans.
The company's group head of people and culture, Jane Thomas, said the company set objectives that reflected the stage it was at. "We believe in getting the foundations right to enable us to achieve those future objectives that we will set, most probably," she said.
Chairwoman of women's leadership lobby group, The 100 Per Cent Project, Frances Feenstra said the definition of executives was not strict enough, allowing companies to boost apparent female representation at the top.
"I'm not saying they are fudging the numbers, I am saying if the guidelines are slightly ambiguous you can pull some positions into those numbers that you may not otherwise have in there," Ms Feenstra said.
Yesterday Westpac chief executive
Research suggests that companies benefit from diversity. Return on equity is 9.2 per cent over five years for the 47 per cent of ASX 500 companies with female directors, and 0.5 per cent for those without female directors, according to research from the Reibey Institute.
The proportion of ASX 500 companies without female directors has fallen from almost two-thirds in 2010 to 53 per cent this year. Two companies in the ASX 50 have gone so far as to publish the ratio of male to female pay in their annual reports.
At Brambles, men in senior management earn 16 per cent more than women; across the organisation, men earn 9 per cent more than women.
At BHP Billiton, where women make up 10 per cent of senior managers, pay levels of female and male senior managers is the same. Remuneration "is not tainted by structural bias on the basis of gender," the company reports.
One explanation for the shortage of women is unconscious bias. Decision-makers may not consciously discriminate against women but hold biases they cannot detect, according to academic research.
Commonwealth Bank chief executive
Woolworths' new chief executive Grant O'Brien said the best teams he'd worked in had both genders. "For this change to occur, it's going to require both men and women working together," Mr O'Brien said.
IBM Australia and New Zealand managing director Andrew Stevens said if his company hired 60 per cent women, it would take five years to move the gender balance 2 percentage points. "It's not easy. You have to start yesterday," he said.

ON DATING AND SEX: "The ideal date is going out to dinner. It's good for building sexual tension and it's not dominated by alcohol. It's a bad idea to get really drunk on the first few dates. If the situation is right then a drink could loosen you up, but then there's that tipping point where it all becomes a disaster. I think sex on the first date is fine. How are you supposed to know if you like someone if you haven't slept with them? I mean, saving yourself for marriage is the most idiotic thing ever."
ON MARRIAGE AND SEX: "Just because you have good sex with someone doesn't mean you should spend your whole life with them. But the idea of a soulmate is so nice, as long as you love each others personalities. I definitely believe in being with one person for an extended period of time — having kids and the whole thing."
ON BEING TOUCHY-FEELY: "Lovey-dovey people are lame and annoying. Trust me, you don't want to be one of them. Because what's important to remember about love is, if you feel like you need to parade it in front of people, then there is something lacking elsewhere! Oh, and if you are one of those icky lovey-dovey people, please, stop making out in public. It grosses everyone around you out. Hand holding, mild touching, and short, closed mouthed kisses are acceptable, but that's it."
ON INTIMACY AND EXPERIMENTATION: "I think massaging and holding each other is so intimate. It can be more intense than sex. I think that if your partner wants to try something in bed, you should just go with it. What's the harm in trying? Have a couple glasses of wine if you're nervous. If it's bad you never have to do it again."
ON ORGASMS: "I used to fake it all the time, then I realized I was stabbing myself in the foot. If you fake it once, your partner will never know what you like. Sex is so much more than a dick inside you."
FAVE LOVE BOOK: "'Bad Behavior: Stories' by Mary Gaitskill"

$20 for a men's basketball game package (a $40 total value)
- Two general-admission tickets for lower-level seating (a $10 value each)

Choose between the following games:
- Against the College of Charleston on Saturday, February 9, at 7:30 p.m.
- Against Samford on Monday, February 11, at 7:30 p.m.
The Scouting Report
On February 9 and 11, a pair of doubleheaders pits Chattanooga's men's and women's basketball teams against their Southern Conference rivals. The Lady Mocs lead off on both days, attempting to build upon an already stellar 16–3 record. Redshirt-junior forward Ashlen Dewart has emerged as the team's top scoring force, averaging 16 points per game against conference opponents.
Once the Lady Mocs' game ends and the deflated basketballs have been cleared from the court, Chattanooga's men's team storms onto the floor behind leading scorer Zaccheus Mason. In eight conference matchups so far, the redshirt-junior forward sits tied for third in points per game.
Chattanooga Mocs
In 1997, the UTC Moccasins faced an identity crisis. For most of the century, the school had relied on Native American imagery for its teams, but with the 21st century came a renewed commitment to Tennessee's all-inclusive heritage. Thus, the Mocs re-appropriated their nickname to represent the state bird, the mockingbird, and incorporated Chattanooga's proud history of railroads into their logos. Known for its feisty spirit and ability to twirl a baton in its beak, the mockingbird also embodied qualities found in the greatest student athletes, making it a fitting inspiration for the men and women in sports such as golf, track and field, and women's volleyball. 1997 was a big year for UTC basketball in general, as the men's squad went on to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA tournament, continuing the school's proud legacy of hoops since the team's inception in 1977.

The year 2007 has been one of tremendous adjustments personnel-wise, and one of extreme workload increases for the Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District office.
The retirement of longtime employee, Sue Barr, left 2,000 employee hours to be filled. Maxine Swaisgood, administrative assistant, stepped up to the plate and it is her friendly voice you hear answering the District telephone as well as that of Natural Resources Conservation Service phone. She also assists anyone approaching the office counter seeking answers to a myriad of questions, plat books, aerial maps, leasing a straw-chopper or no-till drill or any of the many other services SWCD offers.
Cathy Berg, district administrator, and Bob Kerr, district technician, also fill in to complete any of the above-mentioned services, in addition to their regular assigned duties.
Ashland SWCD's teaming up with our counterparts in Wayne County to form a joint board to administer the federal funds we received to achieve logjam clean-up on the Jerome Fork and Muddy Fork streams has added a tremendous amount of workload to the staff, and Berg and Kerr have invested innumerable hours in the project. Meanwhile, we have maintained our education contributions to the local school districts as well as administering the intent of Hazel Willis Woods as a living land laboratory.
This past August for the annual meeting at the Career Center, the staff exhibited an over-the-top effort in the planning and implementation of his fun day for local families. In addition to the complimentary picnic-style luncheon, activities offered were a session on bird watching for youngsters, bee-keeping, planting a butterfly garden or a rain garden and a representative of the Ashland County Park District brought some of his critters. A guided tour of Byers Woods on a tractor-drawn hay wagon also was on the agenda, in addition to the annual election of supervisors. Time also was set aside to honor Ashland County residents who have been longtime supporters of sound conservation practices.
This year's meeting was especially memorable in that there were a lot of new "faces" in attendance, particularly young families, achieving what the staff and supervisors envisioned several years ago when initiating this particular venue for the annual meeting -- encouraging young people to become involved in soil and water conservation. If you were not able to attend in 2007, but are interested, put a big red circle around Aug. 10, 2008, on your calendar and plan to attend this fun-filled event with your entire family.
Our staff is able to achieve what many counties and twice the personnel endeavor, and they do it with a smile.
Thank you Cathy, Maxine and Bob. We are so fortunate to have you representing Ashland County SWCD. We also would like to express our gratitude to NRCS staff Wendell Swartzentruber and Dale Barr for their assistance in the implementation of our many programs.
May the year 2008 be one of peace and prosperity for all.
n Judith Shafer is a supervisor for Ashland Soil & Water Conservation District.

By Peter Roff
In the United States, governments at all levels are trying, through environmental restrictions and energy policy, to impose restrictions on the mobility of the American people. By making it more expensive to operate a motor vehicle they are, in a kind of obtuse way, trying to discourage people from driving.
At the same time they are looking at cars and trucks as "cash cows" that can help provide additional revenues generated by fines and fees much in the same way government depends on the money generated by tobacco taxes while at the same time actively and aggressively trying to discourage people from smoking.
In Washington, D.C., the use of so-called "speed cameras" is becoming more common as the city tries to find creative ways to bring in more money rather than find savings by pruning back its often wasteful and bloated bureaucracy. Though city officials talk about this effort as one that will make the roads safer, most everyone believes they are really more interested in the revenue that can be generated by fining speeders than they are in safety.
As time passes, governments are growing bolder. The North Carolina Department of Transportation, for example, is attempting to manipulate a federal pilot program in such a way as to allow it to put tolls on Interstate 95 in order to fund an estimated $4.4 billion expansion of one of the nation's major north-south arteries and to pay for other improvements and maintenance.
In an ideal world that would not be much of a problem. There are many economists and academics who believe the fairest way to fund construction and maintenance on the nation's roads is to have those that use them pay for them directly through tolls. Except that in the United States, the construction, expansion, and upkeep of federal highways like I-95 are supposed to be funded out of the highway trust fund which draws its revenue from the federal gasoline tax.
North Carolina's request to put tolls on the interstate amounts to double-taxation, with people being taxed twice for something they have already paid for once. It's unfair and it's wrong, something that has not escaped the notice of freshman Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers, who represents the Tarheel State's Second Congressional District.
Ellmers has introduced legislation--H.R. 4174--to block her state from placing tolls on I-95. Her bill, the "No Tolls in North Carolina Act of 2012," has the support of various groups like the American Bus Association, the National Association of Convenience Stores, the American Frozen Food Institute, the American Motorcyclist Association, and the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America.
Part of the reason the states are in a fix as far as highway money is concerned is that Congress has been diverting money from the highway trust fund into what are known as "general revenues," meaning they can and are being spent on everything. According to studies undertaken by the John Locke Foundation, a think tank based in Ellmers's state, "Since 1990, a total of nearly $4 billion in proceeds from North Carolina gas and car taxes have been spent on transit or General Fund programs," Ellmers said in a letter to her congressional colleagues.
"It is clear that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) did not demonstrate that these improvements could be implemented without a toll as required by law," Ellmers said after she introduced her bill. "While our highways need to be updated to meet growing needs and usage, North Carolina taxpayers should not have to bear further burdens after paying one of the highest gas taxes in the country."
Consider the perverse incentives such a move would generate. It would be inflationary, increasing ground transportation costs in a way that would lead to higher prices for anything shipped by truck. It would also force traffic off the interstate onto secondary roads, because consumers and markets are rational even when governments are not. People would quite obviously alter their driving patterns in order to avoid the tolls at every opportunity.
Congress needs to take this matter seriously. What North Carolina wants to do would set a dangerous precedent that could easily be replicated elsewhere if the state's request to impose tolls on I-95 is successful. It is bad policy. Congress should say "No."

I really don't know the answer to this, so maybe I shouldn't reply.
But as a guess:
Certain constructs in TeX don't allow blank lines. For example, writing
a display equation in Plain TeX as

The Mathematica output that you're feeding to TeX may have some blank lines in

I am so hoping we can help one another. James settled in Gwinnett County,
Ga. (Suwanee former home of the Atlanta Falcons about 40 miles north of
Atlanta off I-85). He actually settled here around 1810 or 1820. On census
says he is from South Carolina. Sons are James, Hugh A (maybe Alexander the
oldest) and then my grandfather Josephus Harrison Kennedy.
Here is some data on census in Gwinnett.

Hammonsville, Ala (off 7-11 Hwy) near Dekalb County, Ala (Ft. Payne) outside
of Huntsville. Went with Baileys, Beddingfield/Benefield families. One of
the Kennedy's named Jim Kennedy homesteaded on Cumberland Mountain married a
Maltbie. Some of these Kennedy's are buried at Burnt Church formal name is
Trinity Methodist near Rainesville and Sylvania, Alabama.

One of the most iconic venues of London 2012 will open to the public this weekend.
The London Aquatic Centre, in Stratford's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, will welcome the public, schools and amateur and professional swimmers to the venue from Saturday.
Designed by Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid, the wave-like structure includes two 50m pools, a 25m diving pool, which is used by Olympian Tom Daley as his training venue, and a gym.
The main 50m competition pool used during the Olympics will be predominantly used for lane and fitness swimming.
Operated by Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL), general manager Gregg Holland said the facility has already been well-received with over 100 children signing up for the diving programme.
He said: "It is incredible to have this on the doorstep of our six host boroughs.
"We are working closely with schools in the borough to enable them to swim here and make the most of this amazing facility."
A second 50m pool, used during the Olympics as the training pool, will usually be divided into two sections and used for family sessions, swimming lessons and inflatables.
The diving pool, used today by Tom Daley as he trained ahead of his next competition in China next month, hosts 5 platforms up to 10m and 3 springboards.
"This pool is the best in the world," Mr Daley said.
The diving pool will mainly be used for professionals and people signed up to a coaching programme.
The centre has been changed significantly since the games last year.
The temporary seating stands which held 17,500 seats for spectators have been reduced to 2,500 and 2,800sqm of glass has been installed in its place.
The three pools combined contain 10 million litres of water and are lined with 180,000 tiles.
Its iconic wave-like roof was built using 50 per cent recycled material.
Swimmers from Waltham Forest clubs had a training session in the pool this morning.
Sixth form student Tanisha Somers, 17, of St Bonaventure's Catholic Comprehensive School in Forest Gate, was among hundreds of pupils from three of the six host boroughs to swim at the centre today.
She said: "This is a great venue and is very useful for young swimmers. To be among the first swimmers in here since some of the world's greatest in 2012 is unbelievable.
"The 50 metre pool is scarily deep. Having this venue on our doorstop is great as swimming is a necessity of life and there are some children out there that are less fortunate. In comparison to local swimming pools, this venue is light-years ahead in terms of facilities."
Paralympian Amy Marren, 15, competed at the venue in the 2012 games and came fourth in three of her events. Ms Marren will be using the Aquatic Centre to train ahead of Brazil's games in 2016.
"I love it here. It takes my breath away and I will forever have such amazing memories. The Aquatic Centre is a great facility accessible to the whole community and is really affordable."
This weekend it will be open from 9am-5pm, and thereafter from 6:30am to 10pm. Swimming will cost from £3.50 for a session and as little as £2.50 for a junior.

He helped ring the opening bell at the NASDAQ exchange and later bused from his hotel to the MLB Network studios in Secaucus, N.J. for the amateur draft, where he would represent the Dodgers. Friends noted Lasorda lacked his usual energy and, indeed, had broken into a sweat during the bus ride. At others' urging, Lasorda rested in a conference room at the television studio. Paramedics were summoned after a short period. When Lasorda showed high blood pressure, his cardiologist – Dr. Tony Reid – was notified. (Lasorda suffered a heart attack in 1996, when he was forced to step down in his 21st season as Dodgers manager. A pacemaker was implanted last summer.) ....... An iconic figure in Los Angeles, Lasorda won 1,599 games and two World Series championships in 21 seasons as Dodgers manager. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997. "The doctors confirmed I do bleed Dodger Blue," Lasorda said in a statement released by the club. "I'm looking forward to being back at the stadium to cheer on the Dodgers." Get well soon Tommy.

Obama to address AIPAC annual conference (JERUSALEM POST) By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER, JPOST CORRESPONDENT 02/22/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=258796
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
WASHINGTON US President Barack Obama will address the American Israel Public Affairs Committees annual conference in March, the White House announced Tuesday.
His appearance before the countrys largest pro-Israel lobby comes amid growing international tension with Iran and as the major US political parties gear up for the 2012 presidential race.
Obama will appear at AIPAC on March 4 and then meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, himself coming to Washington to address the conference, the next day at the White House.
Iran is expected to top the agenda for the leaders meeting, which is indicating it is ready to return to the negotiating table after the international community, led by the US, has imposed increasingly harsh sanctions on the regime.
A bipartisan group of senators called on Obama Tuesday to continue to ratchet up sanctions on Iran despite its apparent willingness to enter talks.
We would strongly oppose any proposal that caps or limits sanctions against the Iranian regime in exchange for anything less than full, verifiable and sustained suspension of all enrichment activities, stated a letter written by New York Democrats Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Republican John McCain of Arizona, and eight other senators.
Alluding to fears the Iranians will buy time by drawing out negotiations, they added, The time for confidence-building measures is over.
Both the senators and the White House have attributed the new willingness to negotiate to the harsh international sanctions that have harmed Irans economy.
At the same time, Irans nuclear program hasnt slowed down, and Israel has expressed increasing urgency about the need for strong steps before the window for action closes, raising tensions with the US over whether Jerusalem intends to launch a military strike.
The letter also put down lines for what type of deal would be acceptable.
Given the current Iranian regimes pattern of deceptive and illicit conduct, it cannot be permitted to maintain any enrichment or reprocessing activities on its territory for the foreseeable future, they wrote.
Other members of Congress, however, are concerned about creating an environment that would lead to a military conflict, and sent their own letter to Obama stressing the importance of diplomacy.
As tension with Iran continues to escalate, we urge your administration to utilize all available tools of diplomacy to resolve the crisis over Irans nuclear program and prevent another costly war in the Middle East, said the letter, co-authored by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota) and Walter Jones (R-North Carolina).
While we acknowledge that progress will be difficult, we believe that robust, sustained diplomacy is the best option to resolve our serous concerns about Irans nuclear program.
Meanwhile, Republicans on Capitol Hill have criticized the Obama administration for cutting funds to joint US-Israel missile defense at a time when Israel is under growing threat from Iran. The new 2013 budget proposal requests $99.8 million in missile defense funding, down from $106.1m. in 2012.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, however, is pushing back against the attacks in a letter now circulating in Congress.
In the letter, Panetta pointed to the record $3.1 billion in military assistance Israel would get in the 2013 budget request under the 10- year Memorandum of Understanding between the two country. In addition, he noted, the US expends additional amounts on operating missile defense capabilities that protect Israel but are not specified in those sections of the budget.
Based upon our continued high-level security dialogue with key Israeli defense and intelligence officials, the president has requested unprecedented support for Israel, Panetta wrote. We remain fully committed to ensuring Israels Qualitative Military Edge. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 02/22/12)

The fact of the matter is that to some people, any mention of slavery at the Gettysburg VC is too much mention. Personally, from what I've seen there the topic isn't anywhere near beaten to death by any means, and isn't presented as more than one element of the overall context in which the battle took place. But how does one intelligently present and explain a battle fought in a war which started because of slavery without at least mentioning it somewhere along the line? The answer is that one does it like the old VC did, which an artifact heavy presentation that did a lot better job depicting the design history of Civil War infantry weapons than it did explaining the battle.

text: Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster - yadda yadda. I have an early 2009 24" iMac (2.93 GHz model, with a GeForce GT 120 graphics card) running Mountain Lion. A couple months ago it started exhibiting some weird behavior when loading World of Warcraft. Namely, everytime the game's opening it will "flash" some random image (that I believe is still saved up on the GPU RAM) right before the login screen comes up. So for example, if I were browsing on Mozzila and decide to play, it'll flash a website I visited like 10 minutes ago. It's not affecting anything else (so far) and I have no weird lines on my screen or anything that would suggest a faulty GPU, but I'm worried this may be the early stage of something worse. I did have a feeling that it was performing a little worse in game after that started happening, but I that's hard to measure with the constant patches / expansions bringing graphical improvements. For what is worth, I did some CUDA programming for my graduation thesis some time before that - could it be that some bad code didn't properly get released from the GPU RAM, or is this nothing to be worried about? I also do not remember this ever happening in Snow Leopard (I skipped 10.7).
