NERSC History
Powering Scientific Discovery Since 1974
Contact: Jon Bashor, email@example.com, +1 510 486 4236
The oil crisis of 1973 did more than create long lines at the gas pumps — it jumpstarted a supercomputing revolution.
The quest for alternative energy sources led to increased funding for the Department of Energy's Magnetic Fusion Energy program, and simulating the behavior of plasma in a fusion reactor required a computer center dedicated to this purpose. Founded in 1974 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Controlled Thermonuclear Research Computer Center was the first unclassified supercomputer center and was the model for those that followed.
Over the years the Center's name was changed to the National Magnetic Fusion Energy Computer Center and later the National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC). In 1983 NERSC's role was expanded beyond the fusion program, and it began providing general computing services to all of the programs funded by the DOE Office of Energy Research (now the Office of Science). The current name was adopted in 1996 when NERSC relocated to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and merged with Berkeley Lab's Computing Sciences program. The name change — from "Supercomputer Center" to "Scientific Computing Center" — signaled a new philosophy, one of making scientific computing more productive, not just providing supercomputer cycles.
Back in 1974, the Center began operation with a borrowed Control Data Corporation 6600 computer. Initially most users had to connect modems to their terminals and dial up this computer via telephone, though some early users were able to use the ARPA network for connectivity. In 1975, a CDC 7600 replaced the 6600. In 1976, dedicated, leased phone lines connected the Center with the major fusion energy research sites, allowing users to log into the 7600 from their local DEC PDP-10 minicomputers. The machine was rapidly filled to capacity, and for a while we had to purchase additional 7600 time from Berkeley Lab.
The center acquired a Cray 1 in 1978 and soon became known as an innovator in the management and operation of supercomputers. We converted our 7600 operating system, utilities, and libraries to the new machine, creating the Cray Time Sharing System (CTSS) — the first timesharing system for a Cray — and demonstrating that the machine could be used interactively. CTSS was subsequently adopted by nine other computer centers.
The world's first Cray 2, a four-processor system, was installed at the Center in 1985. We had already spent two years preparing the CTSS operating system for multitasking. This preparation paid off when the Cray 2 was available to users only one month after delivery.
NERSC continued to enhance the productivity of cutting-edge computer architectures. In August 1997, NERSC achieved a milestone: successfully stopping and restarting a number of scientific computing jobs on a Cray T3E without any data processing loss or discontinuity. Called "checkpointing," the stop/restart procedure is believed to be the first time such a procedure has been accomplished on a massively parallel processing (MPP) system. This accomplishment opened a new era of robust, reliable, production-mode MPP computing.
At Berkeley Lab, NERSC has become an active partner in the scientific programs that both shape and benefit from high-performance computing. Our high-performance computing systems and excellent client services are now complemented by expanded expertise in computational and computing science. Taking advantage of our proximity to the University of California Berkeley campus, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, major computer and data communications companies in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the diverse scientific research programs at Berkeley Lab, NERSC strives to achieve a level of scientific and technological collaboration unequaled by any other high performance computer center.
In November 2000, NERSC's computing and storage systems moved from Berkeley Lab's main site to the Oakland Scientific Facility in downtown Oakland, where NERSC remains to this day.
Over the years, the center has grown to serve over 4,000 researchers working on 400 projects and reporting an average of 1,500 scholarly papers (either published, submitted, or in review) made possible by NERSC resources ranging from supercomputers to consultants who provide services in performance, analytics and visualization.
In 2010, the center broke the quadrillions-of-calculations-per-second mark with Hopper, a Cray XE6 named for pioneering computing scientist Grace Murray Hopper. With more than 150,000 processor cores, the system is capable of peak theoretical performance of 1.05 petaflops (quadrilliions of "floating point operations" per second). Hopper operates alongside a second supercomputing system (Franklin, a Cray XT4 accepted in 2009), an IBM iDataplex cluster (Carver) and various special-purpose and testbed systems, including PDSF (dedicated to high-energy physics), the Joint Genome Institute's system (dedicated to genomic research), the scientific cloud-computing testbed Magellan (co-located at Argonne National Lab), and Euclid, an experiment in using commercial graphics-processing units, or GPUs, to speed scientific applications. As scientific data grows, NERSC has kept pace with the High-Performance Storage System, or HPSS, an archival storage system capable of storing a theoretical maximum of about 9.5 million gigabytes (equal to roughly half the U.S. Library of Congress' print collection).
The Energy Sciences Network( ESnet) has grown and evolved along with NERSC, moving beyond computer access to provide a full range of communication services for DOE scientists.

Step aside, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. The classic battle of good versus evil is now the stuff of celebrity food personalities. Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert have teamed up with master chocolatier Christopher Curtin to create the "Good & Evil" chocolate bar. We tasted it. Let's see if it's worth its weight in cocoa butter by breaking it down into its component parts:
The Good
Here's the backstory: In 2008 — in a remote canyon of Peru's Marañón River — a rare and thought-to-be-extinct cacao tree, Pure Nacional, was discovered. The even rarer first harvest beans (Premier Cru Supérieur as they're called) were selected and then processed in some 135-year-old Swiss chocolate-making machinery to protect the beans' delicate flavors. According to the packaging of each hand-numbered bar (we had bar #1957), Eric Ripert represents the smooth chocolate ("good") and Bourdain decided to add in nibs ("evil"). The nibs actually add a very satisfying, subtlety bitter crunch, so we'd counter Bourdain's publicity and keep them in the good category.
The Evil
This 2.6 oz bar of chocolate will set you back eighteen (18) dollars. A conventional Hershey's bar costs roughly one (1) dollar. So is the Good & Evil bar 18 times better than a Hershey's bar? Sure. At least. This thing proved to be extremely smooth with a flawless bite and superb flavor notes. Every nibble was excellent. But you can also get a hold of very good chocolate bars from purveyors like Green and Black's, E. Guittard, ki'Xocolatl, Scharffen Berger and countless others for less money. While Good & Evil is very likely the best chocolate we've ever tasted, for $18 we'd expect to be transformed into a giant cocoa nib and rolled away by a band of Oompa Loompas.
The Verdict
If you have an unbounded sweets budget, by all means stock up. You won't be disappointed. If an $18 price tag makes you bat an eye, there are plenty of old-school candy bars that have stood the test of time and can be acquired for pocket change.

turtle code. I need to create a Jython application that takes turtle code from the Java application, parses it with regular expressions and calls setPixel(x,y)
in the Java application to draw a rectangle. the Java program ,setPixel(x, y) is used to control the painting and getCode() to get the code entered in to the turtle
code textarea. These methods are both defined in the DYPL Java class.
- Code: Select all
import Translater
class Jtrans(Translater):

print("Button clicked. Got event:")
def move(self, x,y):
move(50, 90) # is move a built in function

move(50, 90)
move(100, 90)
def put(self, x,y,a):
put(150, 150, 0)
for x in range(0,4): #how come it doesn't draw a rectangle as mentioned?
move(50, 90)
eval("self."+self.obj.getCode()+"()")#why do we need this?
def setDYPL( self, obj ):
print("Got a DYPL instance: ")
if __name__ == '__main__':
import DYPL
I also attach a zip file containing classes like Translater.class,DYPLCanvas.java etc if you need it. so does anyone know how I should start?

Amarista's four RBIs back Marquis' gem in LA
LOS ANGELES -- It was difficult to discern who the biggest winners were on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.
How about the Padres' struggling offense, which was able to accumulate 15 hits, seven with runners in scoring position, en route to a 9-2 victory over the Dodgers in front of crowd of 35,898?
And what about starting pitcher Jason Marquis, who managed to go deeper into a game -- 7 2/3 innings, to be exact -- than any Padres starting pitcher this season?
Last, but certainly not least, how about the wearied members of the Padres' bullpen, those who have been taxed early in the season because of the short stints by the starters?
"It's definitely a huge advantage. It's nice to have those games when everyone gets a day of rest," said Padres reliever Joe Thatcher. "It might not seem like a big deal now, but in August and September ... all these days off now help you at the end of the year.
"I think that's overlooked."
It wasn't on Tuesday, as Thatcher and most of the those bundled up in the bullpen were able to simply sit back and enjoy Marquis' impressive start and a big victory by the Padres, who won consecutive games for the first time this season all while winning their first series of the season.
Marquis allowed one run on three hits and worked past some command issues early in the game.
"The fastball command was off early, but as the game moved into the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, his slider improved," Padres manager Bud Black said. "I thought he got better as the game wore on."
The Dodgers pushed Marquis in the third inning, loading the bases with one out. Mark Ellis chased a run home with a sacrifice fly, but Marquis struck out Matt Kemp to avoid further damage.
"It was a battle. My fastball command wasn't where I wanted it, but my slider-split were pretty good," Marquis said. "I tried to tell myself to just try and minimize the damage. We had a 4-0 lead, I just tried to not let it get out of hand."
The Padres backed Marquis with plenty of offense, even before he made his first pitch.
Three of the first four batters of the game reached base against Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano (0-1), who started in the spot normally occupied by Zack Greinke. Greinke suffered a broken left collar bone during a benches-clearing incident on Thursday in San Diego. Yonder Alonso had an RBI single and Capuano walked Nick Hundley with the bases full for a 2-0 lead. Alexi Amarista, the No. 8 hitter in the order, added a two-run single for a 4-0 advantage.
Chris Denorfia, Alonso and Amarista each had three hits, and Amarista tied his career-high with four RBIs. It was a good offensive night without outfielder Carlos Quentin, who was serving the third game of an eight-game suspension and third baseman Chase Headley, who is expected to return from a Minor League rehab stint for his broken left thumb tip as early as Wednesday.
"I thought we had good at-bats all night," Black said. "We were aggressive early on the fastball."
From there, the night only got worse for Capuano, who came up lame covering first to end the second inning. He walked Jesus Guzman to start the third inning but was pulled with what was diagnosed as a left calf strain.
"I was excited. ... I felt strong and good and ready to go," Capuano said. "The first inning was tough, I wasn't hitting my spots. They hit some seeing-eye balls and they found holes. Nothing went our way in the first inning. And to have this stupid little injury about pushes you over the edge."
The Dodgers used five relief pitchers, while Padres relievers did little.
The Padres squeezed 1 1/3 innings out of Andrew Cashner, who walked in a run in the ninth inning after loading the bases. Other than that, the rest of the bullpen is in good shape for the final game of a three-game series on Wednesday.
The long start and successful start by Marquis did much more than give the Padres a chance.
"Since I've been in this league, he's given us a ton of trouble," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Marquis. "He keeps the ball down and he keeps changing speeds and he doesn't really give in. He's a guy we have had trouble with.
"We've had him on the ropes a couple of different times and not been really able to get to him. He just kind of stays in his game. When he was with Colorado, he did this to us. We've never been really able to do a whole lot with him."

ASUS Announces Transformer Book Trio - Windows 8 and Android 4.2 Hybridby Jarred Walton on 9/4/2013 1:01 PM EST

dbone1026 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI was interested ... until I saw you lose W8 when in tablet mode ... Reply
crispbp04 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkHaswell based transformer book please. screw android. Reply
designerfx - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkwha? screw android? the idea is good, they just need to have both OS's work at any time instead of the restriction it apparently has. Reply
DigitalFreak - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkSee the T300 Reply
nerd1 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIt is a terribly stupid decision to only allow android for tablet mode. I'd rather get a cheap android tablet and cheap ultrabook rather than this half-baked product. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI think the idea is that you'll almost always have the dock with you. If you don't want the dock, I suspect one of the other ASUS tablets is what you'll be after. (Posting shortly....) Reply
nerd1 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIf you'd always have the dock then why bother to get a detachable hybrid? Reply
kuritan - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkWhat if they built this so that when the tablet was connected to the base, it could fold over (yoga-style) and work as a W8 tablet, only it would be thicker than the stand alone android tablet? The battery life is also pretty disappointing... actually it is VERY disappointing. :( Reply
Ktracho - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIt might be more interesting if it were an option (at an additional price, of course) to run Windows 8 on the tablet side as well. Reply
Disorganise - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkExcept to do that with any sense of speed, the tablet part has to be a thick heavy plank like all the other windows tablets (relative to android).
I'd like dual boot on the tablet too, and *maybe* RT would be the possibility. What I could live with, is a 'terminal services' type session where the base streams over Wifi to the tablet. sure I still have to bring the base to have windows, but it can stay in the bag and the tablet can run either os (sort of). If you leave the base at home, then your're android only.
However, the big turn off is the form factor - I want 10"; anything bigger becomes unruly as a tablet in my opinion, and ruins the portability Reply
mort65 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIt has an Atom Z2760. From my experience, running Windows 8 on it is great for the kinds of things I do on a device that doesn't have a physical mouse and keyboard. I would definitely rather have Windows 8 running on the Atom than Android especially on anything with screen larger than 5".
I also agree that an 11.6" is awkward to use on a tablet. I even have some issues with a 10.1" screen. Reply
Disorganise - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkprevious comment meant to be a reply to Ktracho - for some reason 'reply' isn't really a reply Reply
Dutchie1 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkAgain a NO GO, how is it possible that they can not think like a user. I would like both OS perfectly integrated using files on both OS if required. (send a photo in android via LINE or attached it in a windows document if in windows). For example, When I am in Android on my tablet and then I want to go to windows 8 looking for my keyboard to be able to switch or nothing. crazy!! Haswell, 8 gigs total, sim slot for 3G of course! ssd 258 and ssd slot. Voila. Is that so difficult? Reply
kuritan - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkSounds great Reply
epobirs - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI already have Android running on my x86 laptop. It's called Blue Stacks. I mainly use it to play the addictive Simpsons Tapped Out, a parody of SimCity-type games. I haven't seen it running on something like a Surface Pro but I suspect I'd like that combination better for the price. Reply
kineticarl - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI thought that the Windows OS is kept on the drive in the base station. That way, when you detach the tablet display, the base station can still be attached to an external monitor and you can keep using Windows 8. If that were the case, you'd probably have to buy an additional RT license to use the tablet in RT mode simultaneously. Also, can Windows 8 seamlessly sync with an RT tablet?
I guess what I'm getting at is can Windows even support the functionality that everyone here seems to be asking for? Reply
imi2003 - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkThe dock is basically using the tablet part as a monitor, its such a waste of CPU's i suspect this will be priced the same if not higher than two separate similar spec-ed devices. Reply
JonsConspiracy - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkA lot of hate in the comments, but as someone who once owned the Transformer Infinity, I can say that once you put the tablet in the dock, you rarely take it out. It adds so little to the weight and size, and adds so much battery life and functionality.
I think this is a genius compromise. I would probably only ever use Windows with the dock since I would generally only use windows for Office programs. However, Android has the better touch apps that you don't need a keyboard for.
I don't know if I'll buy this, but I'm tempted. Reply

Inventions: QLS Reactor
Co-inventor: Professor Paul E. Queneau
When the National Academy of Engineering honored Professor Paul E. Queneau with membership in 1981, the citation noted his "innovative leadership in the invention and commercial development of efficient technology for extraction of nickel, copper, and cobalt." In the world of smelting, he's also known for getting the lead out.
Queneau devoted his entire career to metal. During the Depression, the Columbia grad labored at the International Nickel Company's (INCO) alloy furnaces in West Virginia. "It was hard, dangerous work," he says, but metallurgy hooked him, and he moved up in the company.
Army service — he rose to colonel — in the European theater during World War II galvanized him. "What I saw and experienced over there has driven me ever since," he says. "Who do you think designed all those tools of mass destruction? It was engineers! We as engineers now have a responsibility to modernize technology, save energy, and protect the environment."
Returning to R&D at INCO, Queneau helped develop energy-efficient, environmentally friendly smelters with breakthrough oxygen technology that reduced the needed amount of coal and decreased sulfur emissions.
Soon after becoming a professor at Thayer School in 1971, Queneau joined with Purdue University Professor Reinhart Schuhmann Jr. and the German firm Lurgi to invent a continuous smelter that boosts efficiency and cleanliness. Compacted pellets of sulphide concentrate and flue dust dissolve in a molten bath that is injected with oxygen, producing lead and lead oxide. The lead sinks to the bottom and is siphoned off. The lead oxide flows to the far end of the reactor. Along the way, submerged injectors blow powdered coal into the lead oxide to reduce it to lead. Sulphur dioxide in the off-gas is converted to commercially usable sulphuric acid. Remaining flue dust is mixed into new pellets, and the process starts again.
Queneau Schuhmann Lurgi, a.k.a. QSL, reactors are in use in Canada, Korea, and Germany, churning out lead without spurning the environment.

My quiver consists of a 9' longboard and im looking to transition to a short board. Ive ridden shortboards a number of times as i usually borrow from friends but want to get my own. This past weekend i rode a 7'2" out in california which i had no problem balancing/catching waves on.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good boards for making the transition to short board? Im 5'10" about 165 lbs so im thinking something around 6'10" or so.
Id like something which i can duck dive, but not too short since as i said i mainly ride longboard up till now.
Any suggestions on good brands/models or input on size, length, width much appreciated.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/1/2013 (1685 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BACK in the day when he was first publishing (Wolf, 1971, Warlock, 1981, Sundog, 1984), Jim Harrison sounded a new note in American fiction: his diction inventive and startling, sentences rhythmic and beautifully turned, paragraphs dense but delightful.
He wrote with verve and passion about ordinary people who found themselves boxed in by life but transcended their condition into a kind of down-home grace. More than a dozen novels have followed.
Harrison, now 75, hails from Michigan and he's always found a place for what he calls "northern Midwest" locales in his work. In this volume, two novellas, he returns to these in The Land of Unlikeness, a journey to the past for the central character, Clive, who lives in New York but has returned home to look after his aging mother.
A failed painter, now a professor of art history, Clive is a big-boned farmer's son who "wanted to be a slender aesthete," but who ended up being a disillusioned dilettante, without "belief in the life he had adopted after giving up painting."
As he comes across locales from his youth, memories are triggered in 60-year-old Clive. The narrative spins back in time: to his teen heartthrob; to memories of fishing with his father; to his early ambitions to be a painter.
It's a story of loss and pain, of missed opportunities and thwarted desires. It's also a bit tiresome: Clive not only revisits the various battlegrounds of his life; he wallows in his defeats. He seems unable to rise above big-city self-importance, and it's a bit grating.
In the title novella, Thad, a northern Michigan high-school boy who has grown up elbow to elbow with natives and wild creatures, has a talent for swimming and the ambition to go to Scripps to study water creatures -- and to swim around Manhattan and from Cuba to Florida.
Though tough in the way of his tribe, Thad is a gentle boy; but he falls awry of the town big-shot and ends in a fight with him, suffering a broken nose, cheek, and jaw.
It frightens him but does not stop him from swimming down the length of Lake Michigan to Chicago, where he hooks up with a powerful Illinois business family that takes his side in sorting out things back home.
This novella is about the clash of these two worlds: urban, flashy Chicago and rural, native Michigan. Michigan is not the bucolic nature of Romantic fantasy.
It's a place where folks regularly kill wild creatures and maim each other with tire irons and two-by-fours. A place that gives Thad "murderous thoughts."
To escape them, he turns to the rigours of planting tomatoes, to having sex with two girls, and mostly to long-distance swimming. It's a backwoods adventure with big city ramifications, and it leads to a disastrous ending for Thad and sorrow for the hearty folk who love him.
But despite its bringing together strong characters, a rich locale and tragic drama, this narrative, too, plods a bit, as if Harrison were forcing the plot forward and trying to get to the conclusion before moving on to something he'd prefer to be doing.
Harrison has always been a master of the language: witty, erudite, pithy. He's also had a keen eye for the delusions that drive us onward and the heartaches we bring upon ourselves.
The River Swimmer showcases much good writing; but it's also something of a literary cul de sac: neither piece has the energy or inventiveness of Harrison's earlier fiction. Maybe, like Clive, he's just getting tired; maybe he's had his say.
Winnipeg writer Wayne Tefs' inquiry into the return of the Jets to Winnipeg and investigation into sports fandom, On the Fly, was released last fall.

Ralph was with the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion. It was half of his unit that was massacred by Joachim Peiper's SS Panzer Division at the Malmedy Massacre. Ralph carried guilt from that the rest of his life, that he lived and so many did not. Today we call it PTSD, shell shock in WWI, the 1000 yard stare in WWII.

A colorful fireworks display capped the season finale between Wauwatosa West and Greenfield on Friday night, but it was the explosive play on the field that proved to be the real spectacle.
Running back Greg Lewis' three-yard touchdown run with 17 seconds left gave the Trojans a thrilling 28-21 Homecoming win and put an exclamation point on the team's first playoff berth since 2006.
"We were able to find something at the end," Tosa West head coach Matt Good said. "We were trying to get in for a field goal, but Greg's a beast and was able to get into the end zone for us."
While Tosa West (7-1) never trailed in the game, the Trojans had their hands full with an inspired Greenfield team. Despite their 2-6 record, the Hustlin' Hawks played well on both sides of the ball and nearly came away with an upset.
The Trojans entered the night averaging more than 300 rushing yards per game, but Greenfield held Tosa West to 101 yards on the ground and forced three turnovers.
The biggest of those turnovers came with less than four minutes to play. Greenfield defensive back Jordan Koutnik intercepted his second pass of the night and returned it to the Trojans 3-yard line.
On fourth down, quarterback Alec Piekarski rolled right and hit a sliding Reggie Blakely in the end zone to pull within 21-19. Blakely then converted the two-point attempt to tie the game with 2:10 left.
"It was a lot of fun," said Greenfield head coach Scott Otto of the comeback. "Tosa West is a great football team and I'm sad for our kids, but also proud of them and we made it exciting."
That excitement slowly built during the first three quarters, as neither team could establish an offensive rhythm. After Greenfield fumbled the ball away on the third offensive play of the game, Tosa West took advantage. A 15-yard touchdown run by Lewis put the Trojans up 7-0, but Greenfield answered with a 13-play drive capped by a 29-yard touchdown run by Piekarski.
Tosa West reclaimed the lead on the ensuing possession when Demaris Purifoy scored on a 26-yard touchdown run.
The score remained 14-7 until the fourth quarter when Koutnik's first interception set Greenfield up at the Trojans 33-yard line. Six plays later, running back Xavier Copeland scored on a 10-yard option play.
A missed extra point left the score 14-13, but the Trojans cushioned their lead moments later.
Develyn Ferguson returned the Greenfield kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and a 21-13 lead.
Then with Greenfield driving on their next possession, Ferguson made a leaping interception in the end zone on fourth down with six minutes to play.
"He's a heck of a football player," Good said of Ferguson. "I'm glad he's on our team."
The junior had one more big play left that set up the Trojans' game-winning score. After Greenfield tied the game, Ferguson returned the kickoff 56 yards to the Hustlin' Hawks 24 yard line.
"I needed to make the play for my team and that's what I tried to do," Ferguson said. "I cramped up at the end of the run and I'm kind of disappointed I couldn't finish it."
Now that Tosa West has finished a dominant regular season in the Woodland West, Good is hoping his team can keep it going in the playoffs.
"We've been on a one-game playoff run the last eight weeks," he said. "Our kids have battled and I'm proud of them and we've shown a lot of resilience all season."

I met Leopoldo Lopez in Caracas in 2002, just a few weeks after the short-lived coup that briefly toppled, but ultimately strengthened Hugo Chavez. Speaking at the speed of light, Lopez exuded energy, intensity, and extreme anxiety about his country's future. He spoke about the economy, oil, politics, and Chavez's socialist plans, albeit not about Cuba's involvement. At the time, the region's big geopolitical conundrum was how the conflict in Colombia would affect the neighborhood. In planning a research trip to each of Colombia's neighbors, a visit to Venezuela, with its huge shared border and, at the time, major commercial ties, I hoped would provide some insight.
But Venezuelans 12 years ago were focused on Venezuela. And like today, conflict in Caracas (and now around the country) drew the attention of Washington and Latin America -- condemnations of the coup came from virtually every capital and the OAS. Playing to type, the United States quickly welcomed the new government, comprised of people whose names few now remember.
But what a difference a decade makes. International politics in Latin America has become both more clear-cut and more complicated. Even if USAID is still mucking around with "democracy promotion" programs, Washington can hardly be seen as having the wherewithal or intelligence networks necessary to orchestrate the protests in Venezuela. This is not your daddy's destabilization campaign a la the 1970s against Salvador Allende, the one that did end in a coup.
Having almost entirely purged the United States from its regional diplomatic institutions, Latin America still has not figured out how to talk about internal dynamics in one another's countries without triggering claims of sovereignty violations. The respect for "diversity" that we heard at the CELAC summit last month may resonate with the rhetoric of the LGBT movement, but the underlying realism is downright Kissingerian. Tepid to nonexistent statements issued from the region's foreign ministries hand the rhetorical moral high ground back to the United States, the country least well positioned to contribute to democratic détente in Venezuela.
When I hear Nicolas Maduro or Raul Castro condemn the protests as "fascist" and describe the events as a slow-motion coup, my allergy to high-volume rhetoric competes with the historian in me, who wants to first carefully examine the allegation. But leaving adjectives and historical references aside, in the immediate term, the greater concern is that both the government and the opposition do not lose control of their base, but of the extremes. This is not the first time that Venezuelans have escalated their internal conflict to what appeared to be a dangerous brink. Nor is this the first time that Washington and Havana sit on opposite sides over Venezuela. But to the extent that either capital has a stake in a non-violent, economically viable and democratic Venezuela, and both do, this may be the moment for the United States' secretary of state John Kerry to call Cuba's foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez. Imagine that conversation.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Wednesday's non-conference regional game between the Saint Leo women's soccer team (2-10-2, 1-6-1 SSC) and the visiting Florida Tech Panthers (6-4-3, 2-3-2 SSC) ended in a 0-0 overtime draw, the second 0-0 draw between the two teams this season.
It was a match that started off rather unnerving for the Lions' defense, as they surrendered seven shots and three corner kicks within the first 20 minutes of play.The Panthers controlled the first half of the game as they outshot the Lions 17 shots to two.
Saint Leo freshman goalkeeper Abby Evans was solid in net during that first half and kept the Lions in the game. She posted seven saves and did not allow a goal, despite Florida Tech's vigorous attack. Evans tied her career high with 12 saves.
The second half was evenly played. Both teams played exceptional defense and had equal opportunities, but neither side was able to capitalize on their chances. 90 minutes was not enough time to separate the two teams as the game went into overtime.
Both 10 minute overtime periods saw more of the same equal play, and at the end of 110 minutes of action, the Lions and Panthers left with a 0-0 draw.
The physicality and equal play was imminent throughout the match, as both teams combined for 22 fouls.
The Lions return to action on Saturday Oct 20th for Senior Night to take on Lynn University in their final home game of the regular season.

HouseTrip.com, the Swiss-based holiday rentals website, became the latest technology start-up to raise money in the recent flurry of funding rounds. The C-round brought Accel Partners in as an investor, alongside existing backers Balderton and Index Ventures. It is possibly the first time these three top European VC investors have all piled into the same company, making HouseTrip seem hot property indeed.
The company, which has raised a total of $60m since it was founded nearly three years ago, is a competitor to US Airbnb, which has also been awash with venture investment money and has a valuation of around $1.3bn. HouseTrip says it focuses more on holiday home rentals, rather than short stays in a spare room. Read more

Netgear ReadyNAS 312 2-bay SMB / SOHO NAS Reviewby Ganesh T S on 11/11/2013 1:00 PM EST

anactoraaron - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkThe only thing that I would add is that Netgear is really taking their ReadyNAS product line seriously with their support. I reviewed on of these units as well (mine came with 2x 1TB Toshiba drives included) and I had some very strange issues with the software (6.0.8). Without going into the details (ejecting external usb drives was one), I notified Netgear about the issue they had a firmware fix the next Monday (firmware was originally 6.0.8 - and was updated to 6.1.1). To me, that was a huge plus. Knowing that your support ticket,etc would be investigated and getting such a fast patch issued shows their commitment to this product line. Reply
jaydee - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkGanesh,
I'm wondering how likely is it, if you were to buy/use this in a home, to actually use the OS that comes with the system, rather than WHS 2011, or a Linux-based server OS (CentOS, etc)? Can you go a bit further with the software aspect of it? Reply
anactoraaron - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkI would just use the OS that comes with it. There's other features of the OS (like Power Timer) that allow you to set a schedule for when the NAS is on - and it also has WOL functionality. Inside the OS is support for SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP, iTunes, ReadyDLNA, etc. Also in the OS is a free antivirus.
There's also a one touch backup button that can be configured to whatever you want to backup (like just certain shared folders) or you can schedule automatic backups. There's nothing too special about the OS, but there's really nothing missing from it either. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkI agree with anactoraaron. This is an off-the-shelf NAS. If the software features don't fit, you are better off with a WHS server or custom Linux DIY build. Also, as far as I can see, the only complaint that can be put forward 'core-feature-wise' is the lack of LVM support -- i.e, say, you get the 4-bay variant and want to store some data with single disk resiliency and some with dual disk resiliency -- it is not possible with ReadyNAS OS 6.x. Reply
tuxRoller - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkBTRFS includes "lvm" just as zfs does. In fact, that's one of its criticisms.
Since btrfs supports redundancy using the chunks model (default 256MB), rather than at the disk level, you can have multiple redundancy options within a single disk (not a great idea for multiple reasons, but should be doable). Of course, you can span this over multiple disks to get the desired effect.
Something like:
mkfs.btrfs -m raid 1 -d /dev/sda -d raid 1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
I should think. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkI did mention btrfs's LVM support in the article, but the problem is that Netgear's firmware doesn't implement it. Reply
tuxRoller - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkIn the article you said it was supposed to be using the code that was employed in Oracle's deployments? Reply
ganeshts - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkYes, but not all features are exposed to the end-users. I guess the really adventurous users could try out certain things over SSH, but without official support, it is going to be pretty dangerous. Reply
jaydee - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkThe feature I had in mind was proxy server for web caching, content filter, security (something like Squid). I realize this is kinda getting away from a "NAS", but with the specs listed, I don't see why it couldn't. Reply
bsd228 - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkWhile Oracle may now include it, Redhat is still on the fence about it with the upcoming RHEL7, and still is working out stability before endorsing it for performance reasons. If you want a better filesystem, you can get an HP Microserver and pair it with zfs. I'll let others take this netgear experiment. Reply
mcfrede - Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - linkFinal paragraph states the product name as the "ReadyNSA" am I the only one to find that interpretation hilarious? (sorry for being slightly off topic). Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - linkThanks for noticing that. I fixed the typo now :) Reply
jramskov - Tuesday, November 12, 2013 - linkUsing btrf is certainly an interesting choice. It would be nice to see an article that explains the advantages of using it instead of ext4. Reply
WilliamG - Wednesday, November 13, 2013 - linkGanesh, Thanks for the review - just wondering if you know if this unit supports Hyper-V virtual machines via SMB ? I have been trying to find out from Netgear for a couple of days but no one can answer me. Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V allows the use of SMB 3 file shares to host virtual machine files. Can this unit work for me? thanks in advance Reply
warezme - Thursday, November 14, 2013 - linkTo be honest I haven't ever really considered a NAS for storage but if I were, a two bay NAS seems a bit useless to me. So you can do RAID 1 and lose half of your storage or do RAID 0 and gain your space but lose any hopes of recovery if one of your drives dies. Wouldn't a 3 bay NAS be the minimum common sense size? Reply
bsd228 - Thursday, November 14, 2013 - linkYou don't lose half your storage with Raid1. Unreliable storage has limited value. You keep all of your data if one drive fails, which is a lot better than what happens with a failure on any of those 1 disk NAS units out there. If you want capacity or higher performance, then you get a 4+ disk unit, or roll your own. Reply
brian.goodman - Saturday, December 07, 2013 - linkWhen I had a drive failure on the first drive of the RAID pair in my old ReadyNAS Duo, I learned that the second RAID drive was not accessible, since the ReadyNAS Duo boots from an operating system installed on the first drive. ReadyNAS RAIDar could not even see the NAS, so it was not possible to diagnose the problem through the software interface. Instead I had to decode the blinking lights on the ReadyNAS to deduce that the first drive had failed.
Is this still the case in the current generation of ReadyNAS products? In fact is that the case with other NAS products?
Losing the ability to use RAIDar and Frontview was a big surprise and I would have expected that to be flagged in product reviews. What happens after drive failure is not something I have seen reported in any NAS review, but it is very important, as most users expect to be able to access the second RAID drive in case of failure.
Could you add failure mode analysis to your reviews, covering whether the NAS is accessible through software for diagnostic purposes (as against physical inspection of a box), and whether the remaining drives of a multi-drive NAS are actually useable one a failure mode occurs?

All I ask is that you please watch the language. Thank you.
Game 82: The captain (0 goals) is back. Mats Zuccarello is in (in case of shootout). Matt Gilroy stays in the lineup, but on defense, where he finished Thursday's game.
Sean Avery and Steve Eminger are prucha'd.
Guessing Lundqvist in goal. Just kidding. Brodeur for Devils.
You all know the deal. The Rangers are in with a win and a Carolina loss in regulation, overtime or shootout. The Rangers are in with an OT or shootout loss (and a Bettman Bonus Point) and a Carolina loss in regulation.
If the Rangers lose, they're out. If they get one point and Carolina gets one point, they're out. If they both win, they're out.

"We define work-related stress as 'the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressures or other types of demand placed on them'.
This makes an important distinction between the beneficial effects of reasonable pressure and challenge (which can be stimulating, motivating, and can give a 'buzz') and work-related stress, which is the natural but distressing reaction to demands or 'pressures' that the person perceives they cannot cope with at a given time.
Who experiences work-related stress? Everyone can, in principle. No-one is immune. Work-related stress exists where people perceive they cannot cope with what is being asked of them at work. It is important to remember that work-related stress is not an illness, but if it is prolonged or particularly intense, it can lead to increased problems with ill health." [HSE, Tackling Work-related Stress: A manager's guide to improving and maintaining employee health and well-being, 2001]
The University recognises that its staff are its most valuable asset, and that only through their personal and professional development - in a healthy and safe working environment - can they be encouraged to contribute fully to the life of the University in the achievement of its strategic aims. What follows is an attempt to outline the nature of work-related stress, and consider ways in which Aston University may respond. This policy and accompanying guidance was approved by Council on 15th May 2002, but it is not incorporated into individual contracts of employment or otherwise binding.
Whilst the University has no control over external factors, as a good employer it wishes to promote the physical, psychological and social well-being of all its employees. It is committed to ensuring, so far as is reasonably practicable, that no member of staff is subjected to an excessive and sustained level of reasonably foreseeable work-related stress that is detrimental to their health. Employees suffering from excessive and sustained levels of work related stress will be treated in accordance with the Policy, Code of Practice and Guidelines on Equal Opportunities in Employment and appropriate related present and future policies. The needs of people with disabilities will be given particular consideration.
The University aims to help understand the phenomenon of work-related stress and put in place both preventative and reactive measures including:
Employees have a responsibility to take reasonably practicable steps to minimise their own stress levels and those of their fellow workers who may be affected by their acts or omissions. They also have a legal responsibility to comply with the Health and Safety at Work legislation and other statutory regulations to take reasonable care of their health and safety and that of other persons with whom they work. Employees should, therefore, draw the attention of the University to any concerns about work-related stress which might present a health hazard to themselves or other persons (see the section on what to do if you believe you may be experiencing work related stress).
In order to enable managers and supervisors to fulfil their responsibilities in respect of instances of excessive and sustained work-related stress which are brought to their attention, they will receive information about, and training in, the basic physical and psychological symptoms of stress (as referred to in the Guidance for Managers and Supervisors in Relation to the Care of Staff) in order to take appropriate and reasonable action to avert this. The manager or supervisor is neither expected nor presumed to have specialist knowledge in this area and should seek assistance accordingly.
There are difficulties in undertaking risk assessments in respect of work-related stress. In Tackling Work-related Stress the HSE states: "One of the key goals of the work-related stress policy and guidance is to promote advice for all staff in identifying the main risk factors". The Guidance for Managers and Supervisors in Relation to the Care of Staff which should be read in conjunction with the University Policy, is provided for this purpose.
There are many things which you can do to relieve the symptoms of stress. A leaflet produced by the Health & Safety Executive outlines some of them. A copy of this leaflet is available by contacting the Health & Safety Office. If none of these measures are effective or appropriate in your situation, the following steps should be taken:
If you notice symptoms of stress in yourself or experience any health issues which affect your work, you should consider discussing this with your manager or supervisor in the first instance. If you decide that this is not appropriate, or you feel that the matter requires additional professional guidance, you should contact Human Resources who may, depending upon circumstances, suggest that you be assessed by the University Occupational Health Physician (OHP).
The involvement of the Occupational Health Physician at an early stage can help facilitate the co-ordination of communication between the University and your own General Practitioner as well as providing advice as regards future management.
If you consult the Occupational Health Physician a report will be sent to Human Resources. You have a right to view, comment on but not amend the report prior to it being sent to the University.
The release of medical information from your general practitioner requires your specific consent in accordance with the Access to Medical Records Act 1988.
When it is brought to the attention of a manager or supervisor that a member of staff has symptoms of stress, including frequent short-term absences, which is affecting their work, there should be a joint discussion with the person concerned in the first instance.
If both the manager or supervisor and the member of staff consider that the matter requires additional professional guidance, reference should also be made to Human Resources who may, depending upon circumstances, suggest to the staff member that they be assessed by the University Occupational Health Physician (OHP).
Wherever reasonably practicable, an employee experiencing excessive and sustained work-related stress will have their work adapted, including the possibility of alternative employment within the University, so as to remove the risk or reduce it to an acceptable level. A joint strategy will be agreed with the person concerned, their manager or supervisor, Human Resources and the OHP as appropriate. If there is no suitable alternative employment within the University which would not involve the risk of reasonably foreseeably exacerbating their condition, an employee should recognise that, ultimately, it may be necessary, for sufficient reason, to terminate their employment.
Managers or supervisors must keep records of the advice and action they have taken in relation to an employee suffering from work-related stress. In accordance with the Data Protection Act, the employee has the right to access such information. Progress should be recorded, monitored and reviewed appropriately.
As with the Equal Opportunities Policy, the University Council will have overall responsibility for determining the Work-related Stress Policy. Similarly, the formulation and implementation of the policy will be delegated to the Chief of Operations and Estates, supported by other appropriate senior officers of the University.
A member of Human Resources will be given responsibility for advising the University's senior management, and other appropriate administrative and academic staff and committees of the University, on matters of work-related stress and for producing an annual report for the Council in conjunction with the Health & Safety Consultative Committee.
Each employee of the University will be issued with a copy of the University's Policy on Work-related Stress and Guidance and all new staff will be briefed on it as part of their induction. Every staff member will be made aware of his or her individual responsibility to ensure that the policy is effective. The development and dissemination of good practice, the recognition of the symptoms of stress, and the raising of university-wide awareness of work-related stress will be monitored through Human Resources in conjunction with the Centre for Staff Development and Graduate Development. Training and development opportunities will reflect the University's Policy on Work-related Stress.
The Work-related Stress Policy will be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis not exceeding three years to identify trends, the need for training and areas where change or improvements to policies or procedures may be needed.
The information contained in the Guidance for Managers and Supervisors should be read in conjunction with the Work-related Stress Prevention and Management Policy. This Guidance is intended to assist managers and supervisors in fulfilling their workplace responsibilities.
While each individual's response to stressors is unique, some common symptoms are discernible:
Displaying some of these symptoms does not automatically indicate that a person is experiencing stress, but they point to such a possibility.
An individual's stress can be detrimental to him- or her-self and also adversely affect the efficiency, image and costs of an area or School; the knock-on effect on other staff, and on students can be considerable and can, in turn, increase their stress levels. Morale and health tend to suffer, resulting in inefficiency, poor relationships, sickness absences, and high staff turnover.
In general, potentially harmful levels of stress are most likely to occur in the following circumstances: when pressures or stressors accumulate or are prolonged; when individuals perceive themselves as being unable to exert any control over the demands that are placed upon them, and/or are left feeling confused by conflicting demands that are made upon them. Some of the common symptoms of stress problems in an organisation include: inferior work performance, loss of motivation and commitment, tense relationships at work and increased sickness absence.
All employees can contribute significantly to maintaining a positive workplace culture. This is especially true of those in a managerial or supervisory role who can display a leadership style which encourages their colleagues to discuss feelings of stress without the stigma of this being interpreted as a sign of weakness or failure. The responsibilities of managerial and supervisory staff are set out in the University Policy. Please refer to the Procedure for Handling Cases of Work Related Stress above.
Wherever reasonably practicable, an employee experiencing excessive and sustained work-related stress will have their work adapted, including the possibility of alternative employment within the University, so as to remove the risk or reduce it to an acceptable level. A joint strategy will be agreed with the person concerned, their manager or supervisor, the OHP and Human Resources as appropriate.
It is essential that managers or supervisory staff keep records of the advice and action they have taken in relation to an employee suffering from work-related stress. In accordance with the Data Protection Act, the employee has the right to access such information. Progress should be recorded, monitored and reviewed appropriately.
Human Resources; the Centre for Staff & Graduate Development; the Counselling Service; the Health Centre; the University Chaplaincy; the Trade Unions; the University Sport and Recreation Facilities.
Other sources of help can be provided by a person's own general practitioner who may be able to arrange counselling through the NHS and a range of organisations including: the British Association of Counselling; CRUSE Bereavement Care; Relate (Couple Counselling); the Samaritans.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team was buried under an avalanche of Saint Joseph's three-pointers during the first half of Saturday night's game at The Palestra. The Quakers fell to the Hawks, 85-68.
Saint Joseph's was simply unbelievable from beyond the arc in the opening half, draining 13 of its 15 attempts from beyond the arc. After Chris Wilson missed the Hawks' second trey attempt, SJU went 12 of 13 the rest of the half.
The three-pointers really didn't start to become a factor until the midway point of the period. Saint Joseph's was up 19-14, then got three points the conventional way (basket and a foul shot) before Papa Ndao, Langston Galloway and Halil Kanacevic knocked down trifectas within a span of 54 seconds. That made the score 31-14.
If there were any doubts about which way this game was headed, they were laid to rest by a stunning 21-0 run by the Hawks over the last six minutes of the half. (The first 15 in the run came on three-pointers.) Amazingly, it could have been worse -- SJU's DeAndre Bembry had the ball to end the half, but it was stolen from him by Dau Jok and then Tony Hicks (team-high 15 points) hit a trey at the buzzer to make the score at the break 57-23.
Hicks was joined in double figures by senior guard Steve Rennard (13 points) and freshman Dylan Jones (10). Darien Nelson-Henry had eight points, while both Miles Jackson-Cartwright and Fran Dougherty had seven.
Penn is off next week until Saturday, when the Quakers hosts NJIT in their final non-conference game of the 2013-14 season. That game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. as the second half of a doubleheader; the women host NJIT at 5 p.m.
Game Notes: Penn tied a season high in assists (22) and tied a team low in turnovers (10) … Penn got 31 points from the bench and 16 from the freshman class, both season highs … Penn set season lows in free throws attempted (10) and rebounds (25), and tied a low in free throws made (6) … SJU set opponent highs in the Jerome Allen coaching era in 3-point baskets (16) and 3-point FG percentage (.667) … Penn's 34-point halftime deficit was its largest this season … SJU scored 57 points in the first half, one shy of an opponent high in the Allen era … SJU's 21-point unanswered run was the longest by an opponent this season … The Hawks also set opponent season highs in field goals (31), field-goal percentage (.564) and assists (24), and opponent lows in free throws made (7), free throws attempted (12) and blocked shots (1) … SJU became just the third Penn opponent to shoot better than 45 percent from the field in a game this season … Sophomore Tony Hicks had 15 points, his team-high 11th double-figure scoring game this season and 26th at Penn … Hicks has led Penn in scoring in four straight games (18.0 ppg during that stretch) and six times overall this season … Senior Steve Rennard tied a career high with 13 points, his first double-figure scoring game this season and his fourth at Penn … Rennard also tied a career best with three 3-point FG … Freshman Dylan Jones had 10 points for his first double-figure scoring game at Penn … Jones also set season/career highs in rebounds (5) and minutes (15) … Jones led Penn in rebounding in the game, becoming the fourth different player to lead the team in that category this season … Freshman Matt Howard tied season/career highs in points (6) and rebounds (3) and set a season/career best in assists (2) … Senior Fran Dougherty tied a career high with two steals … Senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright (7 points) now has 1,231 points for his career which is 23rd in Penn history; he passed Dave Wohl (1,226 from 1969-71) on Saturday. Phil Hankinson (1971-73) is 22nd with 1,236 points; Barry Pierce (1991-94) is 21st with 1,245 points; Jack Eggleston (2008-11) and Matt Maloney (1993-95) are tied for 19th with 1,248 points each.

Actually, the marinade is almost identical to the one my uncle uses (though he uses only 1 bottle of wine). We've cooked wild boar, venison, moose, bison (buffalo) and a lot of other game this way. The best way we've found to cook the meat is on a rotisserie using indirect cooking at about 300-350°F, but it's excellent cooked indirectly as well, and if the roast is small enough you can even cook it directly as you would a tri-tip as I showed in this thread:
Incidentally - the whole idea about frying or browning the meat before cooking it actually has nothing to do with keeping the juices in the meat. Browning the meat only serves to build up a bit of a crust and improve the taste of the meat - exactly like searing a steak. If you're using a rotisserie or using indirect heat, skip the above step as the meat develops a great crust without pre-searing.
In addition, it's better to leave the meat on the cookinig grate and put the drip pan under the grate, rather than leaving the meat in a roasting pan. You still get a lot of jiuces in the drip pan, but since the meat isn't soaking in those juices it develops a really fine crust all around the roast as well. Of course, if your meat is on a rotisserie that's not a problem as the meat doesn't sit in the juices, but the crust develops nicely even if the meat just sits on the cooking grate too.
Sorry if I'm going on a bit here, but one of the things I don't like are roasts that have a nice crust on top but are soggy and grey on the bottom because they sat in the meat juices too long.

Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
brokenhead:A lot of people feed families. There are tons of single working mothers out there that manage. That doesn't qualify them to be president or VP. And a lot of them would know better than to let ambition get in the way of raising their families.
Tomas: So you'd have all women closted in burkhas? The single moms are received $$$ from Uncle Sam? Where's the real father?
They'd be living in Blair House, replete with staff.. Al Gore's kids made do, what's the difference with it being a woman vice president this time. Male chauvanism?
Like going around saying a drunk driver killed his wife and child? He gets away with that because the driver has passed away, but his daughter said he was cleared of that by the state police. He was a tee-totaler.
Tomas wrote:Idaho and Alaska are mountains and hills with lotsa animals and grocery stores far and few between. Moose meat is tasty when properly prepared, nothing like most other wild game. I dunno Diebert what foods you eat but I grew up on a farm/ranch with the modern grocery store 50 miles away. Guns are a necessary way of life when one is raised in the country. Salmon, perch, deer, grouse, pheasant.. Perhaps is beyond your grasp?
Viciously attacked? You are becoming such a pussy. Shall I handle you with kid gloves from now on?PS - Shah mentioned (truth be told - viciously attacked me) that I had the "hots" for Palin -
You admit it is true? After all the whining?basically true because I like women with long hair, a sign of independence and a structured lifestyle. A can-do attitude..
I have no idea what this has to do with what I asked.-Shah-
You admit it is true? After all the whining?
Hey, if one can do the work of the partner, (should the other one die), Sarah/Todd, the other could put the pieces together. To me, that's what family life comprises.
Really? Why don't you tell me what good use Sarah has obtained from her hair? Does she sweep the floor with it when she can't find a mop?Guessed you've not roughed it .. in a pinch, long hair can be cut and put to good use. Human hair is not just for looks, you know.
No.Perhaps you've not heard of Paul Bunyan, Samson, "Grizzly Adams",
Even if I believed that crap, you don't need long hair to cover your head. Short hair will do that very well.much less the scriptural admonition of -why- women should "cover" their heads.
Sorry, I don't usually do what everybody else does.This is true yet today with the Arab, Jewish women.. Native american Indian.

Alex Jacob wrote:There are many people who have voted sporadically, or not at all. This election though has far more meaning for many more people. I met people at the Democratic headquarters recently who explained they were never political until now, and now it meant something to them, and they simply had to act in some way, and they were engaged with gusto. Their concern, therefor, completely trumps your flip of a coin attitude, Tomas.
Obama as president will be able to do very little, and who is really certain what should be done? The only hope here is that millions of people have made an effort to get into the political process, and maybe they will get politicized, and maybe they will be able to influence some policies. I think we can have a little hope, maybe not too much, but only if more thoughtful people have a stake in the matter, and work to express their opinions, to change the atmosphere maybe a little bit.
The forces that will oppose this expression of populism will be vast, though.
It is the contrasts that give meaning to life, the chiaroscuro, and the drama.
What are you talking about?
Jesus, your a stones throw from Biden and your eyes are rose colored?
Don't you get it, Tomas? She's not urbane. At the very, very least, a president or vice president should be urbane.
Oh, Ivy educated like you?
urbane adjective: characterized by tact and propriety
adjective: marked by wide-ranging knowledge and appreciation of many parts of the world arising from urban life and wide travel
adjective: showing a high degree of refinement and the assurance that comes from wide social experience
I do not have a thing against women in politics. I do have a thing about this woman. She's massively unqualified for the job she wants us to give her. Her judgement is faulty. Blatantly so.
More inane talk.
The difference is Al Gore is more educated and and makes an effort to... golly, take an interest in current events?
No wonder, he never worked a day in his life. His dad paid his way through university. Though he flunked his law exam the first time around, ditto for his theology exam (guess "god" had higher hopes for him) His son Gore-III busted for 4 different drugs in his possession. Yup, all-American family!

SPRING, Texas - The family of a teenager who has been missing fore more than a year continues their quest to bring her home safe.
Alexandria Lowitzer was last seen getting off her school bus on April 26, 2010. She was 16 at the time.
Her parents said she was last seen texting on her phone, and was believed to be on her way to pick up a paycheck at a restaurant.
The family said they have limited resources to look for Alexandria because she is considered a runaway instead of a missing person.
"That means we have no access to Crime Stoppers or Texas Rangers," said Alexandria's father, John Lowitzer. "We know our daughter, and she's not a runaway. She's a homebody."
The family has organized a search set for Saturday. They said they hope drought conditions will help searchers find some answers.
"We're expecting at least 60 people," said Alexandria's mother, Jo Ann. "We'll focus on water areas that have gone down."
The search is set to begin at Northwoods Baptist Church, 5803 Treaschwig Road, in Spring. It will run from 7 a.m. to noon and volunteers must be at least 18 years old.

Side-event: Introductory remarks by Ambassador Wittig on the future of the 1267/1989 Al-Qaida sanctions regime
(Introductory remarks by Ambassador Wittig at a side-event on "Targeted sanctions, human rights and due process – The future of the 1267/1989 Al-Qaida sanctions regime")
"Welcome to the German House.
I have the pleasure to co-host today, together with the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights, this event on the future of the Al-Qaida sanctions regime.
It is a particular honour to have such a high-powered panel: Assistant Secretary General Ivan Šimonovićwill serve as moderator. Special Rapporteur Ben Emmerson will present his report to the General Assembly. The Ombudsperson for the Al-Qaida Sanctions Regime, Judge Kimberly Prost will reply. Two specialists, Sue Eckert of Brown University and Paul Champ, the renowned lawyer, will provide their own comments. There will also be an opportunity for questions and answers.
A few words on substance:
In early 2011, Germany assumed the Chair of the then 1267 Sanctions Committee, covering both Al-Qaida and the Taliban. At the time Germany took the helm, there was a clear need for reforming the sanctions regime.
Among other demands, there were calls to strengthen the due process elements. Critics found remedies to listed individuals and entities insufficient. Sanctions implementation was successfully challenged in various courts -- the "Kadi case" which made it (twice) to the European Court of Justice being most prominent.
These concerns demanded a determined response. Helping find a consensus for reform was Germany's main assignement as chair of the 1267 Sanctions Committee.
In June 2011, the Security Council adopted its Resolutions 1988 and 1989 (2011) pertaining to the old 1267 regime. These resolutions represent landmarks for UN sanctions policy. Of particular importance was the Security Council's decision, in Resolution 1989, substantially to strengthening of the role of the Ombudsperson for the Al-Qaida sanctions regime. The Ombudsperson had been established in 1999 to assist the Sanctions Committee in processing applications for removing individuals from the sanctions list.
The conclusions of her reports on de-listing requests, previously of an advisory character, were upgraded to recommendations. The Sanctions Committee can now overrule these recommendations only by consensus. Committee member retains the option, however, of taking a case to the Security Council, which would then decide by its normal procedures.
So far, 34 appeals for delisting have been to the Ombudsperson's Office. 19 individuals have been delisted. Since the Ombudsperson regime was strengthened in June 2011, 20 individuals have presented delisting requests, and 10 were delisted. The other pending cases are at various stages of decision-making.
Among the beneficiaries of the new Al-Qaida sanctions regime was Mr. Kadi, whose case I already mentioned. He applied for de-listing through the Office of the Ombudsperson, and was taken off the Al-Qaida sanctions list on 5 October 2012.
One and a half years after the adoption of UNSCR 1989 in June 2011, the Al Qaida sanctions regime is coming up for renewal. Germany and the Group of Like-Minded Countries on Targeted Sanctions have prepared a number of proposals for the further development and fine-tuning of the regime. Among these are
· Enhancing cooperation of States with the Ombudsperson for information gathering,
· Codifying the Ombudsperson practice,
· Improving transparency in procedure and substance, including disclosing the designating state, and clarifying listing criteria,
· Extending the Ombudsperson's mandate,
· Allowing the Ombudsperson to transmit requests for humanitarian exemptions, and to assist persons or entities who are inadvertently affected by the sanctions regime,
· Imposing time limits for all listings,
· And administrative improvements.
Many of these proposals found broad support at the 14 November Security Council debate on the work of the Committees working on counter-terrorism. I am confident that there will be serious discussion among Security Council members of the Special Rapporteur's arguments, the Ombudsperson's comments, and of the proposals made by the Like-Minded Group on Targeted Sanctions.
Assistant Secretary Šimonović, I pass the microphone to you."

About the Book
How could a high school student ever begin to empathize with a soldier in the trenches of World War I? This question drove Adrian French to stress historical empathy for his high school students, part of the Challenge Program for Gifted and Talented Youth at Mount Douglas Secondary School. The Cree Star Blanket project, as part of French's project-based history curriculum, won him the Governor General's Award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History in 2010.
This book, created by Hugo Wong, a former student who did the project himself in his junior year, began as a thank you to the novelist who inspired the project, but has evolved into a statement on where gifted education can take students who thrive on French's challenging, impactful, and unique curriculum. Combining literature, poetry, and indigenous art, the interdisciplinary project is a window to the war, and a fresh take on what gifted education looks like.

Great for girls with wavy, dry hair.I have wavy and dry hair and this shampoo and conditioner make it a million times easier to straighten. It also keeps my hair smooth and healthy looking after I do straighten it, even when subjected to humidity and rain. The only issue for me is that the silicone in it can build up on hair, so you might have to wash your hair two times with another shampoo to get rid of the residue. I only use ...read morethis when I straighten, since the silicone can flatten my curls. Still, works well for what I use it for. — 7 years, 5 months agoEricaB | 37 reviews

Not impressed...I went out and bought the four steps of this Sleek Matrix stuff and am not satisfied at all!! The conditioner feels really soft when I am in the shower and when I try and rinse it out it takes forever because it feels slimey... I have thick, long, dry hair and I believe the cheaper stuff works better. I paid $26 for my bottle. What a rip! My ends even get really frizzy and my hair is always snarly...Will never buy it again. — 7 years, 9 months agodrosch | 4 reviews
