Biography: What happened to endanger the Black-footed Ferret?
Black-footed ferrets are one of the most endangered mammals in North America. How did this happen? Black-footed ferrets depend on prairie dogs for survival. Almost 90% of the ferret's diet is prairie dogs. They also rely on prairie dog burrows for shelter. As the prairie dog population declined due to deliberate poisoning, the ferrets began to disappear. Additionally, through habitat loss, the land occupied by the black-footed ferret was reduced from 20% of the western rangeland, from the Great Plains to Mexico, to just 2%. The black-footed ferrets were thought to be extinct in 1979 until in 1981 when a Wyoming ranch dog brought a ferret home to its owner. Researchers discovered the last 120 remaining ferrets in Meeteetse, Wyoming. Canine distemper and sylvatic plague infested the small population and left only 18 ferrets in the world. All 18 were brought into captivity to begin a breeding program to save these animals from extinction.
What steps are being taken to rebuild the population?
Today, approximately half of all black-footed ferrets born in captivity are released into the wild. The remaining ferrets enter breeding programs designed to guarantee their future success and genetic diversity. In 2009, records show nearly 1,000 black-footed ferrets living in 18 reintroduction sights through eight different states and a small area of Mexico. The best way to help these animals is to increase education about their past and future, to ensure that people will begin to understand their importance and help to protect their homes.
Black-footed Ferret Fun Facts
• The black-footed ferret is considered to be one of the most endangered mammals in the world.
• Black-footed ferrets are adapted for life in a grasslands habitat
• Notable characteristics of the black-footed ferrets have a black face mask, black feet, and a slender body perfect for going into burrows.
• The average litter size is 2 – 5 young.
• Black-footed ferrets are specialists and focus on prairie dogs, which make up the majority of their diet and provide their shelter.
• A family of four ferrets will consume an average of 763 prairie dogs per year.
• Smell is its most important sense for hunting prey underground in the dark.
• A black-footed ferret is secretive, nocturnal, and solitary.
• Black-footed ferrets are the only native species of ferrets native to North America. The domestic ferrets that you find in pet stores are of European origin and have been domesticated for hundreds of years.

Wal-Mart Should Break Out of 12-Year Range Any Minute Now
Many analysts have predicted the end of Wal-Mart's 12-year trading range, but sooner or later someone has to be right.
Gilford Securities is the latest to predict a breakout, saying Wal-Mart's disappointing third-quarter results "represented an inflection point and a basis for investment optimism, although confirmation of sales liftoff will require a solid performance during the holiday season."
Wal-Mart shares have been in the same trading range since 1999, during which EPS has tripled and revenue has doubled.
That stock-price stagnation "is coming to an end and… a move to new highs can be foreseen based on EPS expectations," Gilford writes.
Wal-Mart was recently down 2.6% at $57.33, following a strong rally since late September.

Chris Johnson and the Tennessee Titans have made up, for now.
Several media outlets reported Monday that the 24-year-old running back and the Titans have worked out an amended deal in order to prevent a holdout.
Johnson's agent Joel Segal confirmed the deal Monday, but would not go into specifics according to the The Associated Press.
While Profootballtalk.com reports that the deal has not yet been signed, the arrangement will reportedly provide for more money in 2010 without adding more years to his contract, which expires in 2012. Johnson was slated to earn $550,000 this season under the agreement he signed as a rookie in 2008.
ESPN.com reports that both sides are reviewing the new deal and that it would make some of the maximum $2.5 million in escalator clauses available sooner than his rookie contract provided for.
Johnson, who gained 2,509 yards from scrimmage in 2009 and was named the AP Offensive Player of the Year, said repeatedly during the spring and summer that he could not play for $550,000.
The two-time Pro Bowler said during the offseason that he would hold out from the Titans' July 31 training camp unless he received a long-term contract or a short-term fix.

Our Daily Correspondent
Baby TalkBy Sadie Stein
Since I wish to spare you the disappointment I myself experienced Sunday morning, I'm going to give it to you straight. Despite what the New York Times headline—"A Star Was (Recently) Born: A Play Boldly Casts Babies"—may imply, the current production of A Doll's House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music does not feature an all-baby ensemble. The baby in question plays Nora's youngest child, and merely makes a brief cameo, apparently sporting a sheepskin vest.
It's not that I don't understand the risks inherent in having a real baby onstage, or the novelty of going for verisimilitude in a role customarily played by a doll. But having had five seconds of imagining baby Ibsen, it was hard to go back. Those five seconds were some of the most glorious of my life. Read More

This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable
Price: $4,171.25
The Helix Uno Smart System from Magicard includes Helix Uno Single-Sided Smart Printer with smart card encoder and TrustID Classic Badging software. This software offers a drag and drop interface to jump right into card design with point-and-click data entry and real-time previews. This version of the software offers advanced encoding for magnetic stripes and a variety of predefined templates can be used in order to speed up the process of designing a card. The software will work with most card prints and card types and can create dynamic QR codes and barcodes. Additionally, it has advanced camera and asset support for capturing, editing, and utilizing additional data and tools.
The Helix Uno Smart Single-Sided Retransfer Card Printer with Smart Card Encoder from Magicard is a desktop card printer that features an interactive touch-screen interface. Visual indicators show connectivity, temperature, and how many prints are remaining on all consumables. A preview screen during printing shows the exact card being personalized and its progress through the print cycle. The intuitive interface makes it easy to change settings, with additional help provided through animated video sequences.
The Magicard Helix uses a retransfer printing process, where images are first printed onto a thin film then heat transferred onto the card surface. This produces high resolution photo quality image, printed right over the edge of the card. By printing onto this controlled substrate, print imperfections due to irregular card surfaces or around embedded card chips are eliminated. Equipped with a high grade processing unit, Helix is powered by Magicard's durable print engine and features high capacity consumables (1000 prints) and hoppers (200 cards), making it suitable for high volume localized or even centralized issuance.
Using Magicard's HoloKote security feature, Helix can apply a secure watermark to each card during the retransfer process. This feature also exploits the wavelengths and lens effect of the retransfer film to fluoresce under UV lighting conditions.

Judge: Campaign finance case concerning Armstrong commissioner will move forward
An out-of county judge has denied Armstrong County Commission Chairman David Battaglia's motion to dismiss a civil case in which plaintiffs contend Battaglia violated election laws during the 2011 election campaign.
According to the order by Westmoreland County Senior Judge William J. Ober, there are facts supporting a prima facie case that inaccurate campaign finance reports were filed by the Friends of Dave Battaglia campaign committee.
The order goes on to say that the court needs to examine whether the campaign finance statements were false and in violation of the election code or if "any person, whether candidate or not, accepted contributions" that violated any provisions of election laws.
The petitioners in the case are Tanya Gladysiewski of Ford City and Randy Cloak, David Wolfe, David Jack, Sherry Piccola and Richard Depner, all of Kittanning. They are being represented by Leechburg attorney Charles Pascal.
Jesse Daniel, of the Serene Law firm of Indiana, is representing the Friends of Dave Battaglia campaign committee.
An audit hearing has been scheduled for July 25 at the Armstrong County Courthouse.

Fastest failover time: Industrial managed Gigabit Ethernet switch
Korenix Industrial Gigabit managed switch JetNet 5010G has 7.4 Gbps wire-speed forwarding rate and supports rapid super ring (recovery time &30ms).
Shing Tien City, Taipei, Taiwan —JetNet 5010G industrial Gigabit managed switch series from Korenix has three combo Gigabit ports plus 7-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet, with the fastest failover time in the world, the company says, at less than 30 ms. The industrial automation switch features enhanced redundancy, high security, and full network management.
For critical, non-stop for industrial applications, JetNet 5010G supports rapid super ring technology, with the fastest failover time in the world, less than 30 milliseconds. [Repeats what was just said above] Up to 20 units connect in a Gigabit fiber ring topology. Advanced dual-homing technology also facilitates the JetNet 5010G to connect with the core managed switch via standard rapid spanning tree protocol. To increase link availability and capacity, it has IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation control protocol (LACP), allowing it to negotiate an automatic port bundling dynamically between switches. Two or more Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections combined can increase bandwidth and create resilient and redundant links. It allows two power inputs for power redundancy and wide power range, 12-48 V dc.
The JetNet 5010G has three combo Gigabit ports, each Gigabit port combining a small form factor plug-in SFP (mini-GBICs port to accommodate 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, or 100Base-FX connectivity) and a RJ45 Gigabit copper port. The switch will automatically detect the Gigabit cable connections priority for each Gigabit port. Users can connect two Gigabit ports of JetNet 5010G as a Gigabit Redundant Ring topology and the third Gigabit port as an uplink to Gigabit Ethernet backbone or Gigabit Ethernet device.
It can be configured by SNMP, console CLI, or Web browser. Network administrators can define event notification to be informed via e-mail, SNMP trap, system log, or relay output. To optimize network bandwidth management, network administrators can also segment ports into different VLANs, or use IGMP Snooping to manage multicast traffic. It has a built-in watchdog timer and performs a warm boot (restarting the switch) automatically when the switch's system locks up, saving maintenance efforts.
Korenix products have 5-yr global warranty through worldwide service centers. Tailor-made services are available.

vol7ron - Tuesday, September 14, 2010 - linkI can honestly say that I don't know too much about the FPGA.
I'm curious how one would use it. Is this used to change the instructions that we commonly see with x86 procs? Reply
Trisagion - Tuesday, September 14, 2010 - linkNo you cannot change x86 instructions or anything in the Atom core. An FPGA allows you to add soft cores to work along with the Atom. So for example if you wanted a more powerful video decoder, you could design this at the chip level and write it to the FPGA. If the FPGA is big enough, you might be able to add more than one soft core like an encryption engine or a DSP engine. The FPGA can be reprogrammed, so the possibilities are endless. Reply
CorvetteZ0606 - Tuesday, September 14, 2010 - linkFPGAs can be used for all sorts of things. Think of it as a blank peice of silicon that you can program whatever hardware you want onto. Need additional USB controllers? Put that in there. Need a second video card output? put that on there? Need a 10MHz reference oscillator to sync a bus with? put that on there. Need to add a CAN bus, I2C bus, or Dallas 1-wire? put that on there. Raid controller? ditto.
Obviously there are trade offs. FPGAs can't hold a huge amount of hardware because they can be programmed with whatever hardware you need at the time. Another problem with them is that they eat power for lunch.
The plus side though is that you're able to bypass the limitation that you have with standard hardware which is what you buy is what you get. With an FPGA, if you have a memory controller for example, you might start out with one that works well, but if the manufacturer finds a bug in the controller that causes it break if it sees a certain pattern in the data, they could issue a new version of the controller that you would apply as a patch. Bug gone.
Things like the intel floating point bug that happened in the Pentium days could be fixed with an update rather than having to replace the chip. (Assuming that the CPU was on an FPGA.)
Personally, I'm really excited about this. I think this is the direction we should be going rather than things like CUDA. Imagine you develop a cool new application that does something amazing, but it takes tons of CPU power and there's no way to optomize it with general purpose instructions found in todays CPUs. Well, you could just write a hardware accelerator for your application and it could interface the CPU and you offload the work to the accelerator. Then when you're done running the program, the OS could unload the hardware and use the FPGA for something else. very cool stuff. Reply
Einy0 - Tuesday, September 14, 2010 - linkIt is very cool indeed. I'm not too sure how much FPGAs have advanced recently. Last I knew they where also very clock speed limited. Although you can build some very useful DSPs that run at only 100mhz or so. Obviously you wouldn't want to build a cpu or anything. I guess some of the newer top end stuff can even hit 600mhz. Interesting I could see a very powerful RAID controller built using this type of approach. That'd be cool, having a full x86 CPU on your RAID controller. Reply
2uantuM - Thursday, September 16, 2010 - linkA 100MHz DSP on an FPGA would CRUSH the best CPU money can buy in terms of processing power. CPUscores are not parallelized, so they can only do 1 operation per clock cycle. The amount of work an FPGA does in a single clock cycle is limited by only the size of the FPGA.
It's not comparing apples and oranges at all. Reply
2uantuM - Thursday, September 16, 2010 - linkIt's like comparing apples and oranges* Reply
Zoomer - Wednesday, September 22, 2010 - linkIt all depends on the workload. There are many papers out that that tries to compare them. Try Chimera, Piperench etc.
Problem with this: If you think multicore programming was hard, this is a whole new ballgame.
For example, is:
if (a and b)
equal to
if (a) if (b)
(No, it may not) Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, September 14, 2010 - linkMy guess is that there's a little latency hit too, in addition to the power woes.
I'm curious how someone might take advantage of something like this in a Virtualization environment eg mutli-core servers, etc. Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkUnless Intel puts more useful information out on the subject, and supplies good design software for the FPGA design; I really do not see the appeal for the average Joe tinkerer. But perhaps Intel is targeting established businesses. In which case the average Joe tinkerer is already SoL. Even then, what would a well established company in the embedded market need with a FPGA coupled with an Atom processor ?
Also, if Intel were to match the power/performance ratio of say an ARM SoC. Perhaps there would be more appeal. As it stands, being an x86 based SoC with the ability to run windows is not necessarily a plus. Besides the fact that an ARM platform can run on Windows mobile, when/if needed. Which would be more in tune with this hardware.
So yeah, I do not know. It *is* or would be kind of a cool toy if Intel provided the software for programming the FGPA. For free, or at a reasonable price. We'll see how that works out though. Reply
vol7ron - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkMy guess is that this isn't for the average-joe.
I would suspect that Intel is trying to capture some marketshare from TI. It seems like these processors would be good for any basic level calculating, from internal car systems, to restaurant tracking and deployment systems. Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkYeah I know, and it might even be ok with Windows embedded as a Web KIOSK etc.
FPGA is a design tool, not an end user solution. That coupled with the fact that most embedded systems businesses are experienced enough to not even have to bother with rabid prototyping through FPGA. They already know what they want/need, and how to implement it. *THAT* was my point.
And how you read it, I pretty much read it too ( Intel playing kids games *again*- that is ). Too bad for Intel though that anyone who is really serious about embedded systems already knows the ARM Architecture. Knows how to setup software around the same, and can very likely do a good portion of it for free. Hell, do not get me wrong, I use Windows on my desktops every day, all day, but in the embedded arena my personal belief is that Microsoft has little, or no place. Not unless they change several things. One of the first, and most important in my own personal book would be support for ARM architecture on more than windows mobile. At the very least, every variant of Windows embedded *should* have support. Last I looked though there was nothing.
Anyways, I am not a MS or Intel hater, But sometimes I think both need to pull their heads out and pay attention to what is going on around them. Intel needs to realize that for Atom to be taken serious in the embedded systems arena, they need to at least offer a variant that can compete with ARM where power efficiency is concerned. I would love to have a tiny, fast enough processor that could run on Windows embedded using the .NET framework. One that used a lot less power than the current Atom CPUs . . .
Or maybe Intel would rather that I used a TI ARM CPU, on Debian, using Mono ? Hey Intel here is a clue. How about stop wasting your time on half assed attempts of wagging your weenie at TI, when you can just put your efforts into something that would actually be a good thing. If TI captures some of "your* netbook, or server market. That would be your own fault for not paying attention to whats going on around you in the world. Reply
Penti - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkAltera supplies the tools as it's their product.
Embedded developers would buy a solutions together with software libraries/drivers to use whatever function is implemented in the FPGA for whatever shit you need implemented in hardware. Enthusiasts wouldn't be interested in embedded products any way as they are not the target directly. Just as embedded software developers won't start designing hardware HDL/FPGA designs. Plenty of stuff need FPGAs though, everybody can't make their own ASICs. Intel isn't a FPGA company though. And if you want to use it with something else (not Atom) thats fine, it's not for you. It's not an developer platform for prototyping. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkI'm so bored of Atom now. Reply
mschira - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkAtom was fun when it was introduced. But it's speed hasn't improved, ever.
They were to slow when they came to life, they are way to slow now.
I wonder if that 2Ghz dual A9 ARM can beat an atom?
M. Reply
vol7ron - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkAtom's problem is that the software that uses it demands too much. Additionally, didn't someone put together a server with like 1000 Atoms that had some decent results, especially given the power consumption.
I'm curious how well Atom performs on Linux machines. Reply
ssj4Gogeta - Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - linkAFAIK they haven't updated the core since it came out. We need to wait for a "tock." Reply
submux - Friday, September 17, 2010 - linkThis chip is going to cut my development and production costs to next to nothing. Currently, we use Altera FPGAs to connect high speed broadcast video cables to TI DSPs. We don't use x86 because there is just too much glue logic and the power consumption was too high. This chip will allow us to produce boards 1/15th the size of our current design with 1/10th the parts at 1/20th the price.
Think of it this way... if you wanted to make a monitoring solution for a broadcast video signal which is transmitted over 3G-SDI (a 2.9[0-9]Ghz coaxial medium). Currently, you'd have to design fancy FPGAs, make your own fancy overlay stuff, deal with audio decoding etc... with this chip, you can make a 5 chip solution which could even perform video analysis.
If you wanted to use a broadcast H.264 signal transmitted over ASI (basically a 270Mbit/sec coaxial link) in the past to do the design you needed either a big FPGA for the decoder or an FPGA and an ASIC to do all that. Now, you can do it with a CPU, RAM and a chip from National Semiconductor or Cirrus Logic.
If they were to add 256Megs of on chip RAM and 32/64megs of on chip flash, the entire design could be done in two chips. Cutting the cost of these devices from $1000 to $100.
The trick is, that now we can add all our glue logic for the SDI and ASI chips into the CPU itself. No need to use an all custom solution. The OS isn't that important, can use any real-time OS that has driver support or hardware documentation. This chip is going to revolutionize the entire broadcast video market. Reply
joker441 - Monday, September 20, 2010 - linkbesides this is from xilinx, i'd say this is an even more elegant solution:
but since both of them are not yet available it's hard to say... Reply
dealcorn - Sunday, September 19, 2010 - linkDon't I recall some noise with TSMC over whether they would do funky customized Atoms? Conceptually, are FPGA's used to recapture some of the benefit originally targeted by the TSMC stuff that did not work out? My sense is that Intel knows where they want to go and has a bunch of different initiatives all targeted in the same direction. It is premature to say whether the direction is any good, but they appear to be making a sincere, thoughtful attempt to get there. Reply
wazzap123 - Friday, October 07, 2011 - linkYou can now run an x86 soft core on low end FPGA.
Very interesting... Reply

Eyes on Art - Bringing Art to Kindergartens
This program introduces children to the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest permanent collection of paintings and graphic works. The museum educator will bring class sets of reproductions so that each child can look at works of art as well as talk about what they see. Each session is unique, with the museum educator engaging the children in 3-4 activities. Some works of art are presented as part of a story, in the form of a puzzle or matching/grouping task, drama games, or listening to music.
Eyes on Art – Off-site Programs for Schools
While the Vasarely Museum is closed for reconstruction, we will bring the museum to you. Most sessions can be held in your classroom or in a multi-purpose room.

Collie Rough
The Collie Rough is instantly recognised as being the breed that was used in the Lassie films. The breed is a great all-rounder and makes a good working dog as well as a family pet and a loyal friend. Because of its gentle nature, the Collie Rough is often used as a guide dog for the blind.
The Collie Rough originated in Scotland and was primarily a working dog for several centuries. The early Collie Roughs were smaller and head broader heads than can be seen today and were used to herd cows and sheep as well as for water rescue. It is believed that the breed was named after a type of black faced sheep called a Colley. The Collie was mixed with the Borzoi in the 1800s and working dogs became separated from dogs that were breed as pets. The breed became popular as a pet in 1860 when Queen Victoria kept a number of Collies at Balmoral Castle. The first Collie was presented at a dog show in the same year and the Collie Rough was recognised by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
Body Type
This large, strong and lean breed has a flat top of the skull and arched eyebrows. The wedge-shaped head features a rounded muzzle, which tapers to the back of the nose and features a slight stop. The eyes are medium-sized and almond shaped and although they are usually dark, in some cases the eyes may be blue or one eye may be dark and the other blue. The tail is just slightly shorter than the body and features an upward twist. The rough coat is long and forms a mane around the chest and neck and can come in a range of colours including white and sable, black, tan and white and blue merle.
The Collie Rough is an extremely intelligent and loyal breed and is easy to train. The breed gets also with other animals including other dogs and makes a great family pet. Because the Collie Rough was originally a herder it may try to herd humans and especially children if not kept in check. With careful training the Collie Rough takes well to new people and although the breed has the tendency to be protective, its sensitive and gentle nature means that it can easily be won over if it is shown affection.
Associated Health Problems
Although the Collie Rough is generally a very healthy breed, some dogs are prone to eye defects, PRA and hip problems that can lead to arthritis and lameness if not addressed. The Collie Rough is sensitive to the sun and sunblock should be put on its nose in the summer months.
Living Conditions
The Collie Rough is fairly inactive indoors and although it can live inside comfortably, it needs plenty of exercise during the day including a garden to run around in. it is important to remember that the Collie Rough is sensitive to the heat and during warm weather it needs to be provided with fresh water and lots of shade.
Exercise and Care
The Collie Rough needs a long walk each day and plenty of opportunities to play games. Weekly brushing is needed to keep the breed's stiff coat in good condition, although care should be taken during the two times each year when the dense and soft undercoat is being shed.

She couldn't keep the secret any longer, so on Saturday (February 1) Kristin Cavallari took to Instagram to reveal the gender of her bun in the oven.
Posting an image with a blue background and the words "it's a BOY" on it, the excited mom to be captioned the shot "We decided to announce that....we're having another boy!! We couldn't be more excited!"
She's thrilled about expecting her second child and Kristin Cavallari showed off her growing midsection via Instagram over the weekend.
On Saturday (January 18) the "Laguna Beach" babe headed over to her local fitness center for some workout fun, and of course she brought her camera phone.
She's no stranger to swanky parties, but for her own birthday celebration Kristin Cavallari steered clear of the alcoholic beverages.
On Sunday (January 5) the "Laguna Beach" babe and her husband Jay Cutler treated themselves to an evening away from their son Camden, though Kristin's bun in the oven necessitated that she forgo the adult drink menu.
Ecstatic for her man's renewed commitment, Kristin Cavallari gushed over husband, Jay Cutler's seven-year contract with the Chicago Bears, as of today (January 2).
According to the team's general manager, Phil Emery, the 30-year old's decision was finalized after he returned to the field on December 15th from an injury, where he helped the Bears defeat the Cleveland Browns.
In 2013, a number of stars revealed their baby announcements. While a few celebs will become parents for the first time, others are old pros in the mommy business.
GossipCenter takes a look Hollywood's expecting beauties set to give birth to little bundles of joy in 2014!
Helping her baby boy feel better, Kristin Cavallari snuggled an ailing Camden in a new photo posted to her Instagram account.
The "Hills" hottie and her one-year-old look adorable in the shot, including the caption, "My sick little peanut will only sleep on me today."
Though MTV dubbed them 'reality' shows, "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" weren't anything of the sort, according to Kristin Cavallari.
During her interview on "Bethenny," the pregnant television star confessed to Frankel, "I faked relationships, faked fights. I don't care anymore—I can tell you. At this point, it's been so many years."
Getting ready for a week-ending flight, Kristin Cavallari headed out in West Hollywood on Friday (November 22).
The former "Laguna Beach" star covered her baby bump in a stripped top matched with leather leggings as she made her way to LAX Airport.

One Day Blog Silence In Honor Of Virginia Tech Victims
On April 30th 2007, the Blogosphere will hold a One-Day Blog Silence in honor of the victims at Virginia Tech, as more than 33 people died in this US college massacre. Created by educational blogger Steli Efti, One Day Blog Silence does not mean that all of us bloggers need to set our computers aside and stop writing. Rather, it is a chance for us to post the One Day Blog graphic on our sites to show remembrance and respect for the victims and their families. No words and comments are needed.
By posting this blog silence image on our site, we are hoping that our readers will take a moment of silence and remember the victims who lost their lives that day at Virginia Tech. We also hope that this post will serve as a reminder that this tragic event must not go unnoticed. Topics pertaining to gun control legislation and school safety need to be addressed immediately.

By Ted Montgomery, Special for USA TODAY
Much has been made about the Chicago Blackhawks firing head coach Denis Savard so early in the season, but a brazen move like this one is not without precedent. More than a few times in NHL history a coach has been jettisoned before he got a fair chance to prove his worth to the organization. Usually, the decision has to do with things other than the coaching talents of the man in question.
More than anything else, Savard was the victim off heightened fan (and thus, organizational) expectations for the Blackhawks this season. Coming off a year in which the team won 40 games for the first time in a long time, with a roster larded with significant young talent, nothing more than a blazing start would have saved Savard's job. The 'Hawks struggled out of the gate, and the organization started questioning his ability to finish the job in Chicago (or at least keep the positive momentum going).
Mix into this scenario the presence of Scotty Bowman and Savard's replacement, Joel Quenneville, in the organization and you can make more sense out an environment in which even minor missteps would not be tolerated. Quenneville was a former coach with an impressive resume, itching to get back behind the bench. And Bowman, well, the legend lives on.
NHL insiders are pooh-poohing the notion that Bowman gave Savard the final push onto the NHL coaching scrapheap, and Scotty himself would scoff at such an absurd claim. But let's remember this: Bowman is a master dissembler and is prone to making disingenuous comments at times such as these; comments designed to deflect any suspicions that he may have had a role in this decision. Certainly he was consulted about the move, and it seems likely he agreed with it.
The Chicago organization has not been without its coaching hiccups in the past. Remember Orval Tessier? A player of middling talent who spent parts of three seasons in the NHL, he became a coaching wunderkind in junior hockey circles, leading the Cornwall Royals to the Memorial Cup in 1972. After several more distinguished years coaching in juniors, Tessier was hired by the 'Hawks in 1982, where he won the Jack Adams Trophy in his first season with the club.
But things went downhill from there. Prone to ragging his veterans for their conditioning habits, and never one to empathize with the tender psyches of modern athletes, Tessier soon alienated the very players he should have cozied up to: The team's stars.
Tessier's tenuous relationship with his players finally reached a tipping point in the 1983 Campbell Conference finals. After the 'Hawks gave up 14 goals in the first two games against the Edmonton Oilers, Tessier told a reporter that his players needed heart transplants. That did it: A coach can question a player's conditioning, his talent and even his attire on road trips, but once you call out a player for a lack of heart, you are cutting too deeply into his pride. The players tuned out Tessier at that moment, and his tenure with the club ended not too long after that.
Obviously, the Blackhawks have not cornered the market on making questionable coaching moves. The Detroit Red Wings have had their share of meltdowns behind the bench. Former All-Star defenseman Bill Gadsby coached the Red Wings to a 33-31-12 record in 1968-69. Saddled with a rapidly aging team with no young talent to speak of in the pipeline, Gadsby's team started the next season by winning the first two games, after which Gadsby was relieved of his coaching duties. No plausible explanation was ever given for the Red Wings' decision to fire Gadsby so early in the season.
The Wings also made odd coaching hires in the early 1980s, when they alternately entrusted the reins to Brad Park and Harry Neale at a time when the team was bereft of any appreciable talent. Both men failed miserably as coaches.
But the biggest coaching blunder the Red Wings ever made was hiring Ned Harkness. Harkness was a coach of successful college hockey programs when he was hired to coach the Detroit Red Wings in 1970. Totally unable to relate to professional athletes, Harkness took little time in alienating a team of storied veterans, including Gordie Howe and Alex Delvecchio. Harkness had the gall to suggest to Delvecchio, one of the NHL's all-time best players and at that time the venerable captain of the Red Wings, that he give up smoking the occasional cigar. That's probably good advice to impart to a college player, but Delvecchio had fashioned a Hall of Fame career to that point, and wasn't about to take lifestyle hints from a man who made his bones coaching undergrads.
The Wings tanked that season and Harkness was soon replaced as coach. But the organization compounded their troubles by kicking Harkness upstairs, making him the team's general manager. Harkness set about screwing up the team's future by trading Garry Unger, a young player with a huge upside, because, among other reasons, Unger would not comply with Harness's order to cut his long blond hair. Unger, of course, went on to have a tremendous career and become the reigning NHL iron man. The return in that trade brought the Wings next to nothing.
Harkness, who passed away this summer, set the Red Wings organization back 10 years. His hiring was a bad idea that sucked the spirit and competitiveness out of a once-proud franchise.
Many other coaches — Fred Shero, Mike Keenan, John Brophy, to name but a few — have distinguished themselves for their bullheadedness and their inability to get along with their players. Shero, peripatetic and fussy, left a legacy of some of the greatest quotes ever uttered by an NHL coach but was considered way too eccentric by most of his players; Keenan has left in his wake players, both current and former, who would swear that his tactics were counterproductive; and Brophy left a legacy of abrasiveness that not only infected his coaching counterparts, but also his own players.
Savard, whose heart and soul has always been invested in the Blackhawks, should salve his wounds with the knowledge that coaching hires and fires are often made by desperate organizations. Savard's dismissal by the is not a referendum on his coaching abilities, but just another example of a team flailing around, trying to find the right guide to the postseason. This is a team after all, that has given the head coaching job to men like Lorne Molleken and Alpo Suhonen in the not too distant past.
With a move like this, the Blackhawks announced to the world they believe their squad is playoff-bound and lackluster play won't be accepted. But the question is whether Quenneville, who guided the St. Louis Blues and the Colorado Avalanche to postseason numerous times, will be able to do the same for the Blackhawks.
The new coach has done best with older players (Joe Sakic comes to mind) but is not afraid to incorporate younger, skilled players into the right game plan. In Chicago, he's inherited a team that is young and mostly inexperienced. His first jobs are to decide who the No. 1 goaltender is going to be (so far, Nikolai Khabibulin has outplayed Cristobal Huet) and to figure out how to round out his third and fourth lines. No coach in Chicago can figure out how to keep Martin Havlat healthy, however.
After a long dry spell, the 'Hawks should finally reappear in the postseason, but that will have more to do with the players than the coach.

Mark Shuttleworth Announces uTouch Framework
Open source gesture suite lands in Ubuntu 10.10.
Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth today announced the uTouch gesture suite that will make its first appearance in the 10.10.10 build of Ubuntu. The code is published under GPLv3 and LGPLv3.
"There's no reason why anyone else can't ship them as well," Shuttleworth said. "There's nothing in there proprietary to Canonical," he added.
Shuttleworth explained that UTouch goes beyond standard touch frameworks by allowing users to chain a series of gestures into a sophisticated series of commands known as "gesture sentences."
The window manager in Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition will fully support the UTouch framework and thereby gesture sentences.
"Netbooks with multitouch will be able to switch applications, potentially switch tabs within the application you're using or, using gestures," Shuttleworth told Linux Pro.
Combining uTouch with Unity, Ubuntu's retooled desktop environment, optimized for netbooks and tablets is a logical choice, but developers will have to first create applications that take advantage of uTouch. Updating from Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 to 10.10 will automatically include UTouch and Unity. Shuttleworth said that Canonical will include at least one application that has a rich touch interface.
"We're announcing the pieces now because we think developers will want to get working on their own apps," Shuttleworth said.
Shuttleworth expects preinstalled uTouch-compatible devices to coincide with Ubuntu 10.10. Ubuntu 10.10 won't be available until October.

IceCaps sail past Sens 6-2 Posted by IceCaps on
Albert, Mouillierat score twice to help extend IceCaps' win streak to five
ST. JOHN'S, NL — Charged by two-goal outings from both John Albert and Kael Mouillierat, the streaking St. John's IceCaps won their fifth straight by downing the Binghamton Senators 6-2 Friday night at Mile One Centre.
Adam Lowry and Eric O'Dell had the other goals for St. John's, while Michael Hutchinson turned aside 26-of-28 to earn the victory.
The IceCaps opened the scoring just over five minutes into the opening frame, on a goal from Lowry. Taking a behind-the-net feed from Jerome Samson, Lowry – parked in front – shook off Binghamton pressure and fired it between the legs of Nathan Lawson to make it 1-0.
Albert extended the IceCaps' lead to two at 12:21 on the man advantage, when he notched his 16th of the season. With the IceCaps breaking into the Senators' zone on the rush, Albert cashed in on Jason Jaffrey and Andrew Gordon's give-and-go play by scooping up the rebound from Jaffray's shot and sending it top shelf.
Just 30 seconds later, St. John's struck again. Mouillierat picked up the loose puck in the circle after a turnover and moved in front, before backhanding it over the blocker of Lawson to send the IceCaps to the dressing room with a 3-0 cushion.
In the second period, Mouillierat – scoring his second straight goal – put the IceCaps up by four midway through the frame. Set up by Albert from behind the goal, Mouillierat took the pass and sent it over the blocker of Lawson to make it 4-0.
With less than a minute left in the period, Albert picked up his second tally of the contest just as time expired on the Binghamton power play. Powering his way past the defence at the Senators blue line, Albert busted in on goal all alone and fired a wrist shot that eluded Lawson to make it 5-0.
In the final frame, St. John's picked up where it left off at 2:38 by adding another goal – this time from O'Dell, on a penalty shot – to lengthen to lead to six. Rushing in on Lawson with a head of steam, O'Dell pulled it back before picking the twine to the stick side.
Buddy Robinson got the Senators on the board at 7:53, however, when he took the pass from Daniel New and fired it upstairs on Hutchinson to cut the deficit to five.
Then, with the Senators on a 5-on-3 man advantage, Jean-Gabriel Pageau connected on a cross-crease dish from Mark Stone at 10:14, wristing it blocker side past a helpless Hutchinson to draw his team within four.
That would be as close as Binghamton got, however, as the IceCaps finished strong to earn the 6-2 victory.
The IceCaps look to extend their winning streak to six Saturday night (7:30 PM NT), as they close out their two-game series against the Senators at Mile One Centre.

Notes: Not dressed for St. John's: Kris Fredheim, Cody Lampl, Ryan Schnell, Josh Lunden, Austen Brassard, Eddie Pasquale… Kyle MacKinnon extended his point streak to five games… St. John's went 2-for-9 on the power play and killed off 4-of-5 shorthanded situations… Molson Canadian Three Stars: 1. John Albert 2. Kael Mouillierat 3. Adam Lowry… Mary Brown's Hardest Working Player: Kyle MacKinnon.

Recently, I met a longtime college friend Derrick, and he explained to me how he has been trying to get certification in financial planning, but his efforts have been fruitless. He has tried registering, but the CFP Board keeps rejecting his applications. After college, we part ways, and it has been years since we spoke. When I heard of his tribulations, I felt sorry for him and as he was always top in our class. I knew this time; Derrick would thank me unlike the olden days in school where he always got lots appreciation from the academic fraternity. Well, after few interactions, I accepted to help my friend Derrick secure a certification. Right now as you are reading this piece of writing, Derrick is a certified financial planner.
Are you wondering how you would become a certified financial planner using simple techniques? Have you tried before but failed terribly? Maybe you are in college, and you are thirst to rise in haste and get certified, or maybe you completed college many years ago like Derrick, and you have never got certified, and clients are slipping off as you watch. Don't worry, if that's you, just follow the following tricks and thank me later.
Rule no 1: Complete school first
According to the CFP certifications rules, it is impossible to get certified when you have not completed school. Just like most certifications, it is a necessity to have at least a bachelor's degree from a recognized university. However, in our case, to get certified as a financial planner, you must possess either a bachelor's degree, an associate degree or a college academic program recognized by the board. It will enable the candidate to stand a good chance to comprehend the course requirements.
It is evident that having a sound financial background is crucial as it enhances efficacy when handling tasks. For that reason, it is a necessity that anyone willing to get certified must convince the board in having relevant and authentic academic papers. However, in case one lacks higher education credentials, the board offers its academic programs to enable skilled candidates to become eligible for the certification. To access the examinations, you must have completed high-school and convinced the board in having some basic information on financial matters. Besides, one is required to enroll in one of the many legit colleges recognized by the board to enable one pursue the short course. The course is convenient as one can study at his own time and pace. Other associate programs recognized are;
- Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
- Licensed attorney
- Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA)
- Business Administration/ Economics
- Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC)
- Others can be reviewed by the board to test their legitimacy
Rule no 2: Ensure you pass the CFP exams
Many people get scared when they hear the term 'examinations', I included. Personally, I detest examinations just the way I do to medical injections. They make one nervous, anxious and if you are not careful, they can subject you to sleepless nights. Wait! To become a certified financial planner, you have to brave all the predicaments that sprout from exams mood and plan on how to succeed in them. Also, the Certified Financial Planners' exams are crucial to enhancing the career besides updating the cv. They get conducted three times a year; that is in March, July, and November. As a certified financial planner I can attest that this test is not as easy as it seems, but again, with proper preparation, it is one of the sure ways to success. Something funny about the test is that it is a ten multiple questions paper which takes 2 hours. Yes, it is a two-hour multiple question paper, in which all the answers are made similar and appear correct just to test ones' keenness. To pass this exam proper exam preparation is vital. The exam covers all the financial aspects necessary for a financial planner. Well, if you are salivating to become one of the top sourced financial planners, always ensure you prepare well for this exam.
Rule no. 3: Participate in the corporate world and gain experience
Completing school and getting good grades is not a surety to getting certified as a financial planner, one needs to enroll in an institution and provide financial services for at least 3 years working full time. Many people get locked out of the certification due to this requirement. Others are college graduates who have just completed school, and they want to get certified immediately. Like the adages said that building Rome never took one day, building a good portfolio needs patience and persistence. Well, in a situation where one is unable to acquire a job, internships are also accepted, but the candidate must complete the three years to become legitimate.
Rule no.4: Pay the certification fee
Just like in other profession bodies, the registration fee for members is a mandatory. To become a certified financial planner, one is required to pay a one-time fee of 100 US dollars. This money will cater for all the expenses used to ascertain your background information. Besides, one is required to pay $360 us dollars to get the certificate. Unlike other majors, you will agree that the fees paid here are very minimal considering the quality of education acquired. After you have cleared your fees, you will get awarded with the certificate. Well, this is the most joyous moment in the entire academic journey. At this juncture, you get power and the zeal to offer professional financial advice and mentorship to others.
Rule no.5: keep updating your skills and doing the CFP exams
Unlike other certifications in other majors where one may take the exam only once, the CFP certification requires progressive update of skills. You will concur with the adages that education is a lifetime process, and as much as you get educated, you will still encounter something new each day. As for the CFP board, they have put measures to ensure financial planners are at par with the current trends. How is this done? It is mandatory for a certified financial planner to take regular CFP exam each two years. It will act as immunity to the certification to avoid losing its credentials. Well, you don't have to get enrolled at an institution of higher learning to be eligible for the exams each time, there are plenty of resources online that one can use to study. Besides, with advanced technology, virtualization of classrooms is becoming popular and learning some of these skills has become easy and efficient.
Are you a non-certified financial planner? What are you waiting for? Enroll now and spicy your financial career by getting certified by the CFP board.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 12)
Twenty-five thousand Jews in Morocco have registered with the Jewish Agency for emigration to Israel, it was announced here today. In view of the tense situation in Morocco, the Agency started negotiations with an Israeli shipping company for their transportation. The first group of 600 will arrive tomorrow, followed by another group of 1, 000 by the end of this month, and 2,000 more in September.
A number of well-to-do Jews in Morocco have received threatening letters from Arab terrorists, ordering these Jews to leave the country within three months, it was reported here today by David Rubino, a merchant, upon his arrival from Casablanca.
Mr. Rubino, in giving the first eye-witness report on the Moslem terror against Jews in Morocco, said that seven Jews lost their lives in the pogroms in Fez and Petitjean last week. Many other Jews, he reported, were injured, shops were looted, businesses and artisans' booths that had been maintained by Moroccan Jews for generations were smashed by the rioters.
"The terror is not aimed specifically against the Jews," he declared. "The terror has its own political motivation. But Jews are suffering, and losing their lives. Most Moroccan Jews want to leave the country, want to emigrate to Israel. This includes many who, up to very recently, had no particular desire to go to Israel. These have changed their minds overnight, because of the pogroms. "

NFL Players Lives are Threatened on a Daily Basis
Remember the guy that camped out on Matt Schaub's lawn and threatened the Texans' quarterback? Well that's nothing compared to the nuts on social media who threaten the lives of NFL players on a daily basis.
Sportstalk 790's Greg Koch is a member of the Green Bay Packers' hall of fame and played in the NFL from 1977 to 1987.
"This never happened to me. We didn't have Twitter -- we didn't have cell phones when I played, thank God."
Koch says fantasy football players lose their cool on a regular basis.
"They are so into it that sometimes it consumes their lives and a lot of guys that don't have much of a life when it gets consumed with something like fantasy football – there are some weirdoes out there. I mean let's face it not everybody is playing with a full deck."
The NFL says a number of recent Tweets have threatened the lives of players. But fortunately no one's followed through -- yet.
Koch says he was never threatened as a player, but it happened when he worked as an attorney. He says a man upset about an eviction claimed to be a gang member.
"'I used to be in the Banditos; I'm gonna come over and see you and you're not gonna like what happens to ya.' I said 'look, you've been watching too much LA Law because if you think I'm some little pencil-neck attorney sitting behind a desk...' I gave him my address and I said 'I'll be here 'til 5 -- come on over and see whatcha get!'"

This article discusses different brewing methods. To purchase a coffeemaker, click the blog header now!
Coffee might be brewed in numerous ways, although four main methods exist. These methods differ based on how the coffee receives water. After coffee is brewed, the beverage is best if consumed quickly. If the coffee turns cold, it takes on a "muddy" flavor and loses its original taste and aroma. If kept free of oxygen, however, coffee retains its original flavor, and sealed coffee can be purchased in America and Europe. In Japan, canned coffee is growing in popularity. One can also find cold coffee beverages in a grocery store's refrigerated section.
Until the 1930s, boiling coffee was a popular method, and it is still employed today in the Middle East. On method of boiling coffee is "cowboy coffee," where coffee grounds are placed in a pot of water. As the grounds settle, the resulting beverage is poured from the pot. Often, the grounds are filtered before pouring. As the name suggests, this method was popular with cowboys and herders around campfires. However, some people simply prefer this method, and it is still used today, notably in Finland and Sweden.
Steeping is another coffee brewing method. A French press is a tall cylinder containing a plunger and a mesh filter. To brew coffee, coffee grounds are placed into the cylinder; then, boiling water is introduced. For about seven minutes, the concoction is left in the cylinder, after which the plunger is pushed down, which brings the drink above the filter. In Malaysia, coffee is steeped using a sock. This sock is a muslin bag that acts as the device's filter. Coffee is placed in the sock and then steeped in boiling water. In this method, the coffee sock is sometimes reusable, and the brew is typically strong.
In drip coffee making, which is the most popular method used today, coffee grounds are placed in a filter, and hot water pours over the coffee. Generally, coffee filtration uses modern coffee brewing machines, and this technique is mostly found in America. Containing more caffeine than espresso, drip coffee's strength depends on the ratio of water to coffee grounds. A different filtration method is filter coffee found in India. The machine, comprised of stainless steel, has two cylinders, one on top of the other. The top cylinder contains tiny holes, where fine coffee grinds are introduced. Here, hot water is poured over a disc. Unlike American drip coffee making, coffee is not immediately produced and dripped. The device retains water longer, producing a much stronger brew.
The final coffee making method is espresso. Here, hot water is forced under the pressure of up to 15 bars, through a puck, or tight matrix, containing fine coffee grounds. Served in small cups, one often adds sugar to the concoction. Commonly consumed at cafes and vendors, the drink is also popularly drunk after large meals. The base for many other coffee beverages, espresso is highly concentrated and potent. Espresso has a unique flavor because the drink boasts crema, or foam, which floats on top of the drink.

Time for a fresh start on the security laws
When a new round of public consultation begins on the national security laws next month, it should be taken as an opportunity to make a fresh start. The process will begin almost exactly a year after the launch of its ill-fated predecessor. This time, we are promised, things will be different. In some respects at least, they will be. The political climate has changed since the mass demonstration on July 1 and listening to the public is now the order of the day. This has been underlined by the departure of combative former security chief Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee. We can expect a less confrontational approach from her successor, Ambrose Lee Siu-kwong.
Mr Lee has made a cautious but encouraging start. He was quick to place the winning of public support for the laws at the heart of his strategy. In the wake of the protest march, he could hardly have done anything else. The difficult part lies in achieving this objective, and much will depend on the form the consultation process takes. Mr Lee has the advantage of being able to look back on a classic example of how not to do it.
When considering the way forward, it will be helpful to keep in mind a few basic principles. There is no question of postponing the passing of the laws indefinitely, however attractive this may seem. We have a constitutional requirement to comply with Article 23 of the Basic Law. It is true that no threat to national security exists which our present laws cannot deal with. But the absence of any emergency makes it a good time to tackle the laws, and should enable people to take part in a calm and rational debate.
The process, however, should be allowed to move at a pace the community is comfortable with. This is essential if the consultation is to be genuine. The government has therefore been wise not to set any deadline by which it wants the laws passed. While it would probably prefer to see them enacted before next year's Legislative Council elections, any attempt to push the laws through before the public is ready will risk a similar response to the one given by half a million people on July 1.
Another important step the government should take is to remove the blue bill which is currently before Legco and start afresh. However reasonable the bill may now be, having been amended 54 times it has been tainted by past events. It would also be unsatisfactory to have the consultation running simultaneously with the legislative process. The better approach would be to consider views which have already been expressed and to incorporate them in a white bill, or its equivalent, for consideration by the public. The text of this new bill should be included in the consultation document, along with a simple explanation of how each law will work and any impact it may have on everyday life. A commentary on the thinking behind the proposals is also required for people to understand the legislation.
Publishing a white bill would also provide an opportunity for reviewing the laws and producing a document that is more cohesive and complete. Hurried last-minute amendments were announced last month, and they will require further thought. In particular, the nature of a 'public interest' defence to be introduced for the disclosure of official secrets needs to be carefully considered. Once the consultation process is completed, further changes are likely to be needed to accommodate opinions which have been expressed. A new blue bill could then be presented to Legco.
Ultimately, the aim should be to do no more than Article 23 requires and to produce clear, narrowly drafted laws, which comply with international human rights standards. This will, most of all, require the government to listen genuinely to the people and to keep an open mind.
