Intel SSD Pro 2500 (240GB) Reviewby Kristian Vättö on 7/30/2014 5:00 AM EST

mmrezaie - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkgood for samsung. Reply
CrystalBay - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkGood article as always Hellhound, Yes 850 P is wanted . Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkAs always, not a single real world test to tell us the tangible difference of this drive versus others. Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIntel really dropped the ball on whole consumer ssd business.
And now this drive. This thing doesn't even have a single intel component inside. So pretty much, this is a Sandforce drive with Intel badge on it. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIntel has dropped the ball on all consumer markets lately. They're losing billions a year subsidizing Atom, just to be price-competitive with ARM chips, and now they're a full year behind with Broadwell, which won't see mainstream shipping until first half of 2015. Also, Broadwell sucks, too. But that won't stop Intel from making bombastic claims about it, which I can already see ("HALF the power consumption of Haswell" - but with much lower performance, which we won't tell you about, until you've already been suckered into buying one). Reply
tarqsharq - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkI remember when they slipped up with the P4 "NetBurst" architecture. Trying to win the Ghz wars.
Maybe AMD will have a chance to come back on the chip end, I like their low end solutions that are coming out, and I miss being able to be an AMD fan boy and not be ignoring reality. Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - link> They're losing billions a year subsidizing Atom, just to be price-competitive with ARM chips, and now they're a full year behind with Broadwell, which won't see mainstream shipping until first half of 2015.
Heh, i was not aware of that. It seems, that Intel needs to put its priorities right. :) Reply
nonoverclock - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkWow. Exaggerate much and have an axe to grind? "Losing billions a year"? "Broadwell sucks, too" - I haven't read that review yet can you link to it? Reply
extide - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkI think Krysto takes Charlie as "FullyAccurate" hahaha
Although, I do think Intel just needs to ditch Atom and come up with a custom IP ARM core, build a SoC out of it, put gen 7 graphics, a modern radio, etc. It will be great! Reply
Samus - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIntel is the second most profitable tech company in the world, only beaten by Apple. I don't think the SSD business is their priority anymore. They did their job with the X25, jump starting the SSD race. They needed to do this because hard disks were becoming such a bottleneck that it was literally holding them back from selling performance CPU's.
I predict they will exit the SSD market now that they've propped it up. This drive is clear proof of just that. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkI don't think they ever intended to be a major player in the consumer side, low margins and all that, they jumped in to kickstart the market while other OEM couldn't get out of their own way. Reply
FunBunny2 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkGiven that Enterprise SSD was the province of small vendors and RAM SSDs for more than a decade before NAND versions began to be built, Intel really has never had an Enterprise presence in SSD. That they make half-hearted attempts, using third-party controllers no less, means they won't be taken seriously. IBM could have bought their SSD shop, but took Texas Memory instead. There's a lesson in that. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkSaying that Intel has no enterprise SSD presence is just nuts. Last year Intel was the #1 enterprise SSD vendor in terms of revenue.
IBM's SSA revenue is not even close, let alone the fact that the array market is not the same thing as the enterprise SSD market. Many SSA vendors use drives from the enterprise SSD vendors. Reply
FunBunny2 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkJust because Intel/whoever shifts lots o SATA drek to ABC Corp. to fill up desktops and the occasional windoze/*nix document server doesn't make Intel/whoever an Enterprise Storage player.
Enterprise Storage means:
fibre channel
serial attached SCSI
"The first terabyte class FC SSD systems started shipping in February 2003."
Here: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssd-fc.html
You should spend some quality time with Zolt. You'll learn a lot about SSD. Reply
kaix2 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkwhat a funny bunny. intel focuses more on enterprise ssd and is the #1 vendor in that space. the 3rd part controllers are for low margin consumer drives. Reply
mikk - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkCrucial and Samsung are much more interesting for client SSD users nowadays, Intel is more or less dead in this space. Reply
jeffrey - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkCrucial more exciting than SanDisk in client SSD?? The value of the Extreme II and performance of the Extreme Pro are more interesting to me than anything Crucial has (price). Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkHave you looked at the Crucial prices recently ?
They prety much destroy competition with price/GB. Reply
emn13 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkGiven the overall similarity of modern SSD performance in client workloads, price & reliability are the most important aspects (to me). It's not like even a fairly heavy workload will result in differences even a power user is likely to notice. Reply
mapesdhs - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - link
Wow, are you really saying you'd opt for an MX100 instead of the Sandisk X210? Because
that would be a really weird decision (they're almost the same price here). The X210 is by
far the better product yet is only fractionally more.
Ian. Reply
Samus - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIan, you couldn't be more wrong. Although Sandisk makes solid products and is a large OEM partner, they can't come close to competing with crucial\micron manufacturing capacity which inevitably makes Sandisk more expensive. When you consider crucial\micron drives have more features and better reliability than everyone else, the writing is on the wall. Sandisk (and Samsung, Toshiba\OCZ, and perhaps Intel) will continue to be relevant form their product segments but crucial\micron will always be king of ssd volume and reliability.
Everyone else will be irrelevant. Kingston, ADATA, PNY, OWC, and so on, will all fail in the consumer space because they are doing what Intel is doing with this very drive, relying on outsourced components. The problem for them is they can't charge what Intel can. They'll be lucky to even break even in the future. Reply
hojnikb - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkI don't know where you're from, but here in EU MX100 is almost 110€ cheaper than X210 (YES, 110€ cheaper) for 512GB capacity. So you would have to be insane to fork that much more for only a marginally better performing drive. Reply
Burner.Tom - Monday, August 04, 2014 - linkIn Slovakia is the price of Crucial MX100 512GB cca 183€ with tax compared to 235€ of SanDisk X210 512GB. For me is the X210 right choice because of better warranty (3y vs 5y) and much better performance. Reply
GammaLaser - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - link"a study performed by the Ponemon Institute"
At first I read that as Pokemon Institute :P Reply
texasti89 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkWhy on earth would someone (client or business) choose this sub-bar product over Samsung new V-NAND drives given they are priced on the same range? This product doesn't even have an Intel chip inside! Reply
galfert - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkWhen I upgrade my client's computers they say, "Samsung? What happened with Intel?" And I tell them, "Oh those Intel SSD days are long over." I like Intel as a company, and they had the resources to keep up with the SSD innovation train. It isn't too late for them. The focus should move to M.2 PCIe with NVMe. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkI wouldn't say Intel isn't innovative in the SSD space as the P3700 was one of the first NVMe drives to ship. It's just that Intel's focus is in the enterprise market and their efforts in that front don't translate to the client market. Reply
mmrezaie - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkYou are talking about intel. They should be way more innovative with what resources they have, but I assume this is typical intel. They were never satisfying but just dominating. Reply
FunBunny2 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIntel doesn't have the experience that Texas Memory has, and is the reason IBM bought them rather than Intel. Intel has cpu design and fab expertise. Enterprise SSD? Not so much. It's not a mass production venue. Whether SSD gets to the point of HDD, where the only real difference is QA of parts, is the question. It's still more about design and execution of a very different part. Reply
gsvelto - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkI'm really not sure what these drives are good for. Intel already has a line of drives which offer functionality above that of consumer offerings: that's the Pro 1500 series which is in spirit (and price) an excellent successor to the venerable 320 line. That line was relatively popular even among consumer builds and in workstations precisely because it offered extra features not commonly available in consumer drives (such as encryption and power-loss protection). These drives on the other hand have basically no advantages over competitive offerings and a lot of downsides including the high price. Reply
npz - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkFor the TRIM issue, do you mean that the performance still remains cut in half after TRIM if you fill the drive with incompressible data?
I can think other situations outside of software encryption where it would be the case, such as using the drive as a cache for some filesystems (ZFS, linux lvm). The drive can be filled with various and mostly random binary data. Or some applications like databases support dedicated cache devices (and the app or db could itself already use compression). Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkThat is correct. Even with TRIM, the performance does not fully recover. Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkIs there an indepth explaination on why does sandforce lose write performance over time ?
Is it because they are using compression or is TRIM simply poorly implemented ? Reply
hahmed330 - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkThis SSD doesn't deserve the prefix pro... Reply
JellyRoll - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - link"the Pro 2500 is another example of Intel's lack of interest and innovation in the client space."
That is an interesting comment, based upon that fact that this drive isn't intended to address that space, period. I think there might be a bit of a lack of understanding between the two markets.
The business-class SSD market is growing very fast right now, and Intel is wise to address it. Who wouldn't? Haven't you noticed every other SSD player is entering this very same space? Perhaps there is a reason for that. Businesses are looking for different metrics than an obviously consumer-slanted writer understands. Reliability above performance, extended and proven track record (SF) makes it much easier to get through qual cycles. There are so many aspects of this market that the Pro addresses, but were ignored.
...and there's more, "The problem is that TCG Opal 2.0 and eDrive will never become consumer friendly features if manufacturers do not include them in their client drives, which is what happens if there is a separate business lineup."
Again, the focus on consumer market, where no other SSD manufacturer is developing these for the consumer market for a reason. These features often add export restrictions, which are totally unneeded for the consumer segment, where maybe 1% will utilize those features, even with broad acceptance. Reply
stickmansam - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkJust saying but Samsung has those features, Crucial, Adata, Corsair and maybe PNY and Transcend, maybe OCZ? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - link"Haven't you noticed every other SSD player is entering this very same space?"
Not everyone is. Out of the big players, only SanDisk's and Intel's strategy is to separate the client and business SSDs. Samsung and Crucial are going with an all-in-one approach by implementing the security features to their client SSDs.
Reliability is always a moot point because there is no sufficient data to back it up. Sure Intel has always been reliable but the days of Intel being the only reliable OEM are far behind. Crucial, Samsung and SanDisk can certainly match Intel in terms of reliability.
It's true that I'm not an IT admin but the points Intel are using to sell the drive (security features and reliability) aren't unique. Reply
Michael REMY - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - link
I have to say I have never been a fan of business SSDs. They tend to be just consumer SSDs with a couple of software features to justify the higher price tag and this is the case with the Pro 2500.
you forget to think as a IT/pro manager : what it matters the more is the price in time. And this "pro" version have a longer warranty than usual public version. In firms, Money always counts more than performances, specially on long time term. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkThe SSD 530 carries the same 5-year warranty and if warranty really counts, then the 850 Pro is the king with its 10-year warranty (Extreme Pro has 10 years too but no security features). Reply
FunBunny2 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkgo to Zolt's site, http://www.storagesearch.com/ and take a look at who's really making real Enterprise SSD. If you recognize even 1% of the names, I'll eat my hat. It's a pork pie, so I suppose it'll taste good, if need be. Reply
stickmansam - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkthat site's top SSD companies is ranked by search volume... Reply
gospadin - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkExactly. Search volume on that site, and not ranked by sales or profit. Reply
FunBunny2 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkThe "rankings" he publishes are the least, by far and away, interesting thing. How Enterprise SSD companies go about their business is what's important. That, and the technical bits about how DRAM/SSD and NAND/SSD work.
At one time, Timex sold the most watches. Not very good ones, of course. Drek SATA SSDs are in the same class. They aren't Enterprise Storage. Reply

Celebrity Chef Halloween Costumes | 2013
Which Chef Had the Best Halloween Getup? Discuss.
It'd be hard to top Rocco DiSpirito's half-Giada De Laurentiis, half-Guy Fieri getup, but some of our favorite celebrity chefs sure came close. Here is an Insta-fabulous look at what they went as for All Hallows' Eve:
Padma Lakshmi went for humor with a statement: "We support the right to marry for all," she wrote below her Instagram snapshot.
Giada De Laurentiis made it clear that Halloween is a family affair. She posed as part of a trio of black cats with her Aunt Raffi, while her husband, Todd, channeled Dracula, and her daughter (and look-alike!), Jade, played a peacock.
Rachael Ray and husband John Cusimano were on the hunt for lost treasure: the two dressed as pirates on The Rachael Ray Show yesterday.
"Happy Halloween from lil' red," Marcela Valladolid wrote. We suggest she ward off any big bad wolves with extrafiery Latin food.
Who knew the legendary Zorro eats porchetta? Apparently he does when he's Fabio Viviani dressed to kill.
"Back to flavortown!!!!"
Guy Fieri Mario Batali joked on the set of The Chew. Check out Shrek (aka Michael Symon) next to him.
So, tell us . . .

On top of the Mandarin Oriental overlooking Central Park on Friday night, a very swanky group of eaters swayed to some smooth tunes crooned on a central elevated platform and took in the setting sun. In one corner, a Bombay cocktail was poured through a two-foot piped funnel. Some incredible white Bordeaux was sluiced down the other side. A long line of sake bottles were ready for the tasting, and chefs Masaharu Morimoto, Susur Lee, Jehangir Mehta and the like were posing for pictures with happy fans. Yes, the 4th annual Lucky Rice Grand Feast was in full swing.
We sipped sake (an earthy cucumber one winning my heart, personally), learned some new phrases in Chinese and Thai, and chatted about what a Manhattan Korean food crawl would be, of course, but our mission was to delve into as many plates as possible before the brunt of the crowd moved in. Several dishes were satisfying, and a few wowed us completely. And though we missed three tables (one to being out of food by 8:30, the other two simply because of packed traffic patterns), we were completely satisfied by the time the night was through.
Click on the slideshow above for what dazzled us, and check out our coverage on the Opening Night Dumpling Party, Slurpfest, and Cocktail Feast.

I'm a Belgian Computer Science student ( 1st Master ) at the university of Ghent. I have participated in GSoC successfully 2 years now and I really love the program. It's allows me to code the entire summer without having to worry about making some money for next year and I get the opportunity to get into some new FOSS projects and get to know interesting people.
I've been using XBMC for almost 3 years now I think and I'm a bit obsessive about my media-library which led me to the irc channel a few months ago asking around and concluding the scraper support in a library would help some of my problems. People told me then the idea has been around a while and I had a quick look at the code but didn't continue because I got some payed work. GSoC and the summer would be my opportunity to finally get into the XBMC code-base for real.
The main idea is to separate the scraper support in library. There are several sub parts, the intelligent file-iteration, the xml-scraper parsing, the callbacks that implement the xml-scrapers functionallity, the acquiring of the data and finally storing the results.
My proposal will focus on the middle two parts and when I have time left I will include the first. I would include some new features and options for the xml-scrapers to make them even more powerful. For example there is the idea of 2-way communication allowing the scraper to provide feedback to a back-end ( for example enabling the users's choices about what file is what movie to be used for better predictions, some recommendation systems,... ) I would also like to see scraping be a lot more modular so people can "put together" their own custom scraper from prefab blocks. People could then use "small scraper blocks" combined. Ratings, posters, fan-art, plot, actors,... all this are to be small blocks which could get there data from different sources. I might like the IMDB's ratings but the plot's from RT and the posters from somewhere else and there could be no existing scraper having this combination. This would allow such user-defined combinations. It would also allow to only rescrape ratings or plots or,....
I have it worked out a lot better and more technical but I don't think it's interesting for all so if you have any questions feel free to pm me or pm me for my e-mail address so we can mail.
There really are a huge number of benefits from having a library for this. I'll name some but the list surely isn't definitive.
- It will result in more modular, less inter-woven code in xbmc's codebase.
- Other applications ( utility tools,... ) could use the library and it's bindings to python/java/... to support the same xml-scrapers and have the same scraper functionallity as xbmc does. This will enable a more uniform way of scraping and tools like Ember would do things 100% the XBMC's way. The resulting data should be 100% XBMC-compatible. The tools would support our regular scrapers!
- Scraping could be done off-site. Your NAS/Fileserver could do the scraping when a new file gets in even if your mediacenter isn't powered on ( the data could go in the mysql database if enabled or otherwise stored until the mediacenter pc is on ). Nice browser-libraries could be made showing your media-library with all the meta-data xbmc would have without your system being on.
- Modular scrapers have a lot of benefits some of which were mentioned above and other I won't all list here.
- Two-way communication..
- If I get to the file iteration part I would make this smart enough so XBMC would only need one path anymore and no longer an indication of what data is there to find ( movies, shows, music,.. )
- The whole library-idea fits perfectly in the unified back-end movement documented on the wiki.
- ...
I hope dev's ( and users ) who read this are as excited as I am about this project. Please feel free to ask any question over here, suggest extra features, provide feedback. I have only my experience with the media library so there might be awesome features I just don't think of because I'd never use it.

NEW YORK — Carrying a team on a 5-foot-9 frame is exhausting.
UMass guard Chaz Williams was looking to get a rest late in Friday night's game against Temple. But no way would coach Derek Kellogg take him out the way Williams is playing in the Minutemen's run to the Atlantic 10 tournament semifinals.
Williams had his second straight big game back home in Brooklyn, scoring 28 points as sixth-seeded UMass upset the Owls 79-74. The Minutemen sent their rivals out of the A-10 with a loss and advanced to face VCU on Saturday.
"I was just doing what the team needs me to do," Williams said.
Terrell Vinson added 15 points, including a 3-pointer in the final minute with the shot clock winding down and UMass clinging to a two-point lead.
Conference player of the year Khalif Wyatt shot just 4 for 19 for third-seeded Temple, with Williams one of the players tasked with guarding him. Wyatt was 9 for 10 on free throws to finish with 19 points.
"He's a tremendous player. He did force a few things," Temple coach Fran Dunphy said. "But at some point you're saying to yourself he's going to get us out of it."
Temple now heads to Selection Sunday with a bit of nervousness, though the Owls would be far more insecure if not for their win over No. 25 VCU in the regular-season finale.
It was the teams' 66th meeting, but their last in the A-10 with the Owls leaving to join the Big East's football schools. The Minutemen upset Temple in the A-10 quarterfinals for the second straight year.
"It's what we've come to expect of the UMass-Temple games dating to a long time ago," said Kellogg, a former UMass player. "I thought it was another kind of epic battle that we were fortunate enough to make some big plays down the stretch."
Temple (23-9) led by three with more than seven minutes left when Williams took over late for the second night in a row. The junior guard drove into the Owls defense on five possessions in quick succession.
He drew fouls twice and hit the free throws both times, made two layups, and dished to Cady Lalanne for an inside basket that gave UMass a 67-64 lead with more than four minutes to go.
"Chaz Williams is one of the best players in the conference," Wyatt said. "He's relentless. He definitely leads this group. He was real tough down the stretch."
The Minutemen (21-10) were up 68-66 with less than two minutes remaining when Temple nearly got a steal. Instead, Freddie Riley made a 3-pointer. He also finished with 15 points.
After Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson's jumper pulled the Owls within 71-68, Will Cummings thought he had a steal of Williams but was called for the foul. Williams made both free throws with 70 seconds left.
Wyatt hit a 3-pointer with Riley's hand in his face to pull Temple within 73-71 with 55.6 seconds to go.
Hollis-Jefferson had 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. UMass outrebounded Temple 40-23 but committed 19 turnovers.
Williams scored 16 points, with three clutch baskets and a steal in the final minutes, in UMass' 77-72 win over George Washington in Thursday's first round.
"I thought last night he waited a little too long to really step on the gas," Kellogg said. "You know he had his Brooklyn jitters and playing in the beautiful Barclays Center. But tonight he played well."

LONDON, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio attorney general says a law requiring the collection of DNA genetic evidence from adults arrested on a felony charge has helped identify suspects in scores of cold cases.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says authorities have identified prime suspects in 132 old crimes thanks to testing of that DNA evidence since the measure took effect last year.
DeWine says the collection and availability of more data has led to more matches with unsolved crimes. He says the number of DNA profiles processed by scientists in his office's criminal investigation division has increased by nearly two-thirds.
Its Ohio DNA database includes more than 421,000 DNA records from people who have been arrested or convicted. The system uses software to match the DNA profiles with crimes in Ohio and elsewhere.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/3/2013 (1610 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The province upgraded the spring flood threat today in southern Manitoba to moderate to major depending on how the spring melt goes over the next month.
The trend is now for the southern part of the part of the province to experience a flood of the calibre of 2009, at that time the second-greatest flood on the Red River since 1997 and the floods of the 1880s.
Temperatures are expected to start climbing above zero next week at which point flood-fighting efforts across the south and at a couple of points in the north will start kicking in to an even higher gear.
Officials caution that, despite a record snow pack across the prairies, flood-weary Manitobans won't see a repeat of the record 2011 flood on the Assiniboine River.
That's because the ground moisture conditions are a lot drier this spring than the big flood of 2011 when flooding in western Manitoba caused widespread damage. That year the ground was already saturated by heavy fall rains in 2010.
"Going into 2011 we had significant moisture going into the freeze-up," Infrastructure and Highways Ministers Steve Ashton Monday during the province's second flood briefing of the year. "We had record precipitation in the fall. That's the big difference.
"Right now we have one area that's significantly more favourable than 2011, the moisture content going into freeze-up."
Officials also said flooding on the Assiniboine River, even with all the snow runoff from Saskatchewan, will be handled by the Shellmouth Reservoir near Russell and the Portage Diversion, which will safely funnel excess water into Lake Manitoba.
Lake Manitoba is forecasted to be at the top of its 812.5 feet above sea level operating range this spring, but four feet below what was experienced in 2011 when severe flooding destroyed hundreds of cottages, homes and farm properties.
However, officials also say there is so much water coming at us from Saskatchewan that it will overtop the Shellmouth Reservoir.
"There's so much snow in Saskatchewan that we think under all three weather scenarios the Shellmouth will completely fill and will experience spillway flows," said Steve Topping, executive director of hydrologic forecasting and water management. "There's that much water stored in the snowpack upstream."
Provincial forecasters also said there is an increased spring flooding potential on the Souris, Pembina, Saskatchewan and Qu'Appelle rivers, and in the Interlake, due to additional March snowfall.
But that does not mean we'll see a flurry of dike-building and sandbagging in places like Wawanesa and Brandon as in 2011.
"In general terms the Souris River is about half of what it was for flood potential in 2011," Topping said.
"We're not right now looking at anything approaching a 2011 flood in Brandon or in the Assiniboine generally," Ashton added.
They also said while the snowpack and ground moisture conditions in some portions of the province have increased the risk of flooding to moderate to major, up from minor to moderate as forecast last month, the new outlook does not foresee prolonged river flooding and high lake levels as in 2011.
They also said the colder-than-normal temperatures will also cause a later spring melt, which increases the likelihood of a rapid melt and threat of river ice jams. Cool temperatures later into the spring also increase the likelihood that the melting snowpack and normal spring rains will occur at the same time.
In 2009 flooding caused by ice jams on the Red River north of Winnipeg wiped out dozens of homes and cottages in Breezy Point north of Selkirk. It resulted in the buyout of 47 properties.
Ice jams that year also caused the Red River to peak in Winnipeg at 22.6 feet above normal winter-ice level, which amounted to the second-highest level in the city since the completion of the Red River Floodway.
The area to see the worst flooding this year is Red Deer Lake north of Swan River due to runoff from melting snow in Saskatchewan.
Also on the flood watch list is Peguis First Nation, about 145 kilometres north of Winnipeg. With poorer weather, the Fisher River could experience major flooding with levels slightly higher than 2009 levels.
Ashton said he's already spoken to Peguis Chief Glenn Hudson and Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Derek Nepinak on the threat. The province is ready to sandbag at-risk homes and will have heavy equipment in position to unclog ice jams at the community's bridges to reduce flooding caused by ice jams.
In 2009 a state of emergency was declared in Peguis with 850 people evacuated to accommodations in Fisher Branch, Gimli, Portage La Prairie and Winnipeg. At the peak of the flood, 296 homes were affected, 169 of them seriously damaged.
Morris and Highway 75 south of Winnipeg is also expected to be closed due to flooding along the Red River. In 2009 the main route between Winnipeg and the United States was closed 37 days.
The Manitoba Trucking Association says each week the highway is closed costs truckers $1.4-$1.5 million in extra operating expenses.
The detailed outlook with text and charts will be available here.

ANAHEIM _ The inevitable became reality tonight when the Mets fired the embattled Willie Randolph and made Jerry Manuel their 19th manager on an interim basis.
The Mets also fired pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto, and added Ken Oberkfell, Luis Aguayo and Dan Warthen to the coaching staff.
The Mets made the announcement at 3:14 a.m., ET, roughly two hours after the team had beaten the Los Angeles Angels, 9-6, their third win in four games.
General manager Omar Minaya will hold a 2 p.m., PT press conference.
Randolph's job had been on shaky status since the Mets' dramatic collapse at the end of the last season when they blew a seven-game lead with 17 remaining to lose the National League East on the final day of the season.
Two days after the season, general manager Minaya said Randolph had his, and ownership's endorsement, and the franchise entered spring training with renewed enthusiasm after the trade for Johan Santana.
"We've put last year behind us,'' Randolph said during spring training.
However, such talk never showed itself on the field and the sluggish spring training turned into a slow start compounded by losing Pedro Martinez with a strained left hamstring.
Inconsistency marked the start of Randolph's fourth season and eventually led to this afternoon.
On April 19, the Mets were in first place by a half-game at a season-high four games over .500 at 10-6 following a five-game winning streak.
But, the best they've been able to do since is a three-game winning streak and three two-game streaks.
However, they've had two five-game losing streaks.
Randolph's future was placed under the microscope after the team seemed to turn the corner with two victories at Yankee Stadium, when he said he believed criticism of him was racially motivated and he thought the team's television network, SNY, sought to portray him in a negative light.
Randolph attempted to clarify the next day, and the day after that made a public apology to owner Fred Wilpon, chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon, SNY and to his team for becoming a distraction.
The backdrop for the apology was being swept in a four-game series at Atlanta, and the downward spiral continued by losing two of three games in Colorado.
Randolph received a vote of confidence when the team returned from Denver when he met with the Wilpons and Minaya. However, the endorsement didn't include the promise of finishing the season, let alone his contract that expires after the 2009 season.
The Mets appeared to turn things around when they won five of seven games during a homestand against Florida and Los Angeles.
However, they sputtered during a West Coast trip when they lost five of seven at San Francisco and San Diego, including being swept in a four-game series against the Padres, with three of the losses by 2-1 scores.
The breakdowns during the Padre series was mostly attributable to the offense and bullpen, which included Scott Schoeneweis walking the bases loaded and hitting a batter, and Billy Wagner giving up a three-run homer in the eighth inning to Tony Clark.
Wagner's skid included blowing back-to-back save opportunities that cost victories to Mike Pelfrey and Santana.
Many times when a team slides as the Mets have there's finger pointing in the clubhouse toward the manager's office, but that hasn't been the case.
"The problem isn't in there,'' David Wright said pointing toward Randolph's office. "It's the players. We're not getting the job done.''
Because of injury and poor performance, the players haven't gotten the job done.
Injuries have cost the Mets Martinez, Moises Alou, Brian Schneider and Ryan Church for extended periods.
In addition, the Mets' core players have not been producing. Wright and Jose Reyes aren't playing to their levels; Carlos Delgado's decline from last year has continued; starters John Maine and Oliver Perez, 15-game winners each last season, have been inconsistent; bullpen stalwart Aaron Heilman has been hit hard as has Duaner Sanchez; and only recently has Carlos Beltran started to produce.
When the Mets were being swept in Atlanta, Randolph said he understood the landscape.
"I'm the manager,'' he said. "I'm responsible.''
Taking a quick glance at the new guys.
JERRY MANUEL: Currently served as bench coach. … Was Mets first base and outfield coach in 2005. … Managed White Sox (1998-2003) and named 2000 Major League Manager of the Year.
KEN OBERKFELL: Manager of New Orleans Zephyrs of the Pacific Coast League, his fourth year managing the Mets Triple-A affiliate. … Previously managed Double-A Binghamton Mets.
DAN WARTHEN: Was Oberkfell's pitching coach in New Orleans after serving two years as bullpen coach for LA Dodgers. … Coached in Mets minor league system from 2003-2005. … Was pitching coach for the Detroit Tigers (1999-2002), San Diego Padres (1996-97), and Seattle Mariners (1992).
LUIS AGUAYO: Mets Field Coordinator in spring training for minor league teams and Mets fall instructional league team. … Played with the Cleveland Indians (1989), New York Yankees (1988), and Philadelphia Phillies (1980-88).
Not totally, of course, but this is how it works.

Have You Been Hit by a Blog Troll?
I haven't had the misfortune of being stalked on the Internet nor have I had a Troll on my blog (knock on wood) but I have watched as some of my fellow bloggers have been hit by them and it is a real shame! I feel so badly for them and hope that the EVIL blog trolls don't find me…but I'm sure that I'll experience this at some point in time.
Knowledge is power, so I took it upon myself to do a little online-research A.K.A. fact gathering from some wonderful resources, looking into the habits of these pesky creatures who need to get a life (and perhaps some "special help").
So here goes…
The Urban Dictionary defines a Blog Troll as:
1.(n) -A pathetic and moronic person who maintains a blog with an unhealthy obsessive-compulsive drive, especially angsty goths (sorry to all the likeable goths out there). The content of their blogs usually includes events that no sane person would care about. Here's sample of what a blog troll might write on their blog:
"today, I ate a sanwich. It bad – it was just ok, mediocre, I guess you could call it. After that I read a few chapters out of an Anne Rice book and was deeply moved by her erotic descriptions of gay vampires fornicating. . Then I took a nap.
2.(n) -A depraved individual who sits in front of a computer all day and posts flames of an idiotic or pseudo-intellectual nature on public forums and private websites. Many of these people actually become emotional about what is said on the afore-said mediums and feel it is their duty to punish those who disagree with them. They too may pursue this object in an obsessive-compulsive manner.
Goddamnit! Blog Trolls are such fucktards! Don't they have anything better to do other than posting stupid bullshit on the forums.
An article on Computer World.com has a LOT of important information about different types of online abuse:
Spamming troll: Posts to many newsgroups with the same verbatim post.
Kooks: A regular member of a forum who habitually drops comments that have no basis on the topic or even in reality.
Flamer: Does not contribute to the group except by making inflammatory comments.
Hit-and-runner: Stops in, make one or two posts and move on.
Psycho trolls: Has a psychological need to feel good by making others feel bad.
Cyberstalkers can also assume many different forms, according to Wood, although they're basically characterized by a continuing pattern of communication that the recipient considers to be offensive. Other common traits of cyberstalkers are malice, premeditation, repetition, distress to the victim, an obsession on the part of the stalker, seeking of revenge, threats that make victims fear for their physical safety and disregarded warnings to stop.
As with trolls, there are several different types of cyberstalkers, according to Wood:
Intimate partner: The most common type of stalker, this is usually a man who has a history of controlling and emotional abuse during a relationship.
Delusional stalkers: This type of stalker builds an entire relationship with the victim in his or her mind, whether any prior contact has taken place or not. Such stalkers are likely to have a major mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or erotomania, which means they believe the victim is in love with them. The typical delusional stalker is unmarried, socially immature and a loner who is unable to sustain close relationships with others.
Vengeful stalker: This type of person is angry with the victim due to some real or imagined insult or injury. Some of these stalkers are psychopaths — a person affected with an antisocial personality disorder — who have no conscience or remorse. They may have paranoid delusions, often feeling that they themselves are victims and are striving to get even.
What to do
In many cases, victims feel they have very little ammunition — whether legal, technological or tactical — to stop the abuse. However, there are some things bloggers and other online contributors can do to try to avoid this kind of harassment or at least keep it from crossing into the physical world.
1. Know the trolls' tactics
According to Wood, the first rule for dealing with trolls is to avoid being deceived by them in the first place. Don't trust anything you receive or read without verifying the poster through known, reliable sources, he says. Also, ignore postings or private e-mails that are suspicious, such as those that praise, flatter or evoke a sympathetic response.
This is one of the more important acronyms in the blog world, meaning, "Don't feed the trolls." "Just like in-person bullies, trolls feed off your reaction," Tim says. "Under no circumstances should you acknowledge the behavior or repay it with anger or defensiveness. If you don't react, they'll get bored and go away."
Even if ignoring the harasser doesn't get him to stop, at least you won't fan his flames, Wood says. "The more a person responds, the more they teach the stalker about themselves or divulge information they shouldn't," he says.
3. Maintain your privacy
Don't publish any personal information, such as your address or phone number. If you need to, use a Post Office box number. Wood suggests asking your state's motor vehicles and voter registry to put a block on your address and phone number. "Otherwise, any person may obtain them just for inquiring," he says.
Some longtime bloggers, such as Bray and his wife Lauren Wood, a senior technical program manager at Sun, refrain from posting photos of their children on their blogs.
4. Block and ban
If you're experiencing abuse on a moderated blog, you can appeal to the administrator, who can try banning the troll. Be prepared to include a history of the troll's posts, including full headers.
Some blog services offer technologies that enable you to block offensive participants. Using WordPress, Silverstein can moderate the comments of anyone who hasn't contributed to the site before, which helps eliminate the hit-and-run type of trolls. "That allows me to weed out 90% of the abuse I get," he says.
Another plug-in enables him to ban certain IP addresses. "That's especially good for the really crazy people, if they post one comment that goes beyond the pale," he says.
5. Keep a log
Be sure to keep a copy of anything you receive from the harasser, Lauren Wood suggests. If they contact you by phone rather than e-mail, take notes on what they say and how often they call, she says. "You'll need proof rather than, 'I think he was calling three times a day,'" she says. "You'll want a log that says, 'He called at 9:14 p.m."
Above all, when you have an online presence, you need to prepare yourself for the possibility of becoming a target, Wood adds. "Just like in the real world, you need to realize which dark alleys you shouldn't enter at night, and if you do, have protection and know what you should do when," she says.

10 reasons to upgrade to Windows 7
Windows 7 is loaded with a host of new features designed to make the things you do every day faster, easier, more efficient and, most importantly, fun. Here are some key ways that Windows 7 can help simplify the way you get things done with your PC.
"We designed Windows 7 to be more nimble and always ready when you are"
1. Quicker access to the things you use most
Jump Lists are lists of recently opened items, such as files, folders or websites, organised by the program that you use to open them. You can use a Jump List to open items and you can also pin favourites to a Jump List, so you can quickly get to the items that you use every day.
2. Get music and video, even on the go
Ever wish you could enjoy the music, videos and pictures on your home PC while you're away? Now you can. With Remote Media Streaming in Windows 7, you can tap into your complete Windows Media Player 12 library over the Internet. Forget about copying all your media from your home PC to your laptop or having to choose what to bring on your digital media player – now you can access anything you want, anytime you want.
3. Homegroups make sharing easier than ever
Have you ever needed to print a file at home when you weren't connected to a printer? Did you decide that even with a home network, it was easier to just put the file on a USB drive and take it to the PC with the printer? That's one reason why we created HomeGroup. New with Windows 7, HomeGroup takes the headache out of sharing files, devices and printers on a home network. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and HomeGroup makes it easy to automatically start sharing your music, pictures, video and even document libraries with others in your home.
4. Live taskbar previews
With Windows 7, you can point to a taskbar icon to see actual images of all of your open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over the image to preview the window full-screen. Click on the full-screen image, and you can start working with it immediately. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews – a big time saver.
5. Easily size and arrange windows
Snap is a quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen. Depending on which edge you choose – top or bottom, left or right – the window will expand vertically, fill the screen, or you can even position windows side by side. Snap makes reading, organising and comparing windows a... well, you get the picture.
6. Windows 7 loves your touch
Touch technology has been available in Windows for years. But Windows 7 extends it to every corner of your PC. The Start menu and taskbar now sports larger, fingertip-friendly icons. Familiar Windows 7 programs are also touch-ready. You can even finger paint in Paint! Windows Touch – available only in the Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions of Windows 7 – also recognises multitouch gestures (with the right monitor). Need to zoom in on a picture? Move your fingers apart. Want to right-click on something? Touch it with one finger and tap the screen with a second on the screen.
7. Performance improvements
Nobody likes to wait. That's why we designed Windows 7 to be more nimble and always ready when you are. Key performance improvements include:
- Sleep: Windows 7 is designed to sleep, resume, and reconnect to your wireless network more quickly.
- USB support: When you plug in a portable flash drive or other USB device for the first time, Windows 7 can have it ready for you in seconds. If you've used it before, the wait is even shorter.
- Leaner and less busy: Unlike its predecessors, Windows 7 is designed to run speed-sapping background services only when you need them. Not using a Bluetooth device? Then the Bluetooth service in Windows 7 stays off. Windows 7 is also less memory-hungry than Windows Vista – another under-the-hood tune-up that can boost overall performance.
8. 64-bit support
If you've been PC shopping lately, you probably noticed more computers with 64-bit processors and you may have wondered what advantages they offer. Put simply, a 64-bit PC can handle larger amounts of information than a 32-bit system. Since it can use more RAM – 4 GB and up – a 64-bit computer can be more responsive when you are running lots of programs at once. Whichever system you choose, Windows 7 is ready. All packaged retail editions of Windows 7 (except for Home Basic) include both 32- and 64-bit software.
9. Find things faster with improved search
In Windows 7, you can find more things in more places – and do it faster. Start typing into the Start menu search field and you'll instantly see a list of relevant documents, pictures, music and emails on your PC. Results are now grouped by category and contain highlighted keywords and text snippets to make them easier to scan.
Few people store all their files in one place these days. So Windows 7 is also designed to search external hard drives, networked PCs and libraries. Overwhelmed by your search results? You can instantly narrow them down by date, file type and other useful categories.
10. Keep your data safe
Improved for Windows 7 and available in the Ultimate and Enterprise editions, BitLocker helps keep everything from documents to passwords safer by encrypting the entire drive that Windows and your data reside on. Once BitLocker is turned on, any file you save on that drive is encrypted automatically.
BitLocker To Go – a new feature of Windows 7 – gives the lockdown treatment to easily misplaced portable storage devices like USB flash drives and external hard drives.

Leon Frank Czolgosz
Leon Czolgosz, the son of Polish-Russian immigrants, was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1873. His parents had six other children and in 1881 it was decided to move to a small farm near Cleveland in 1881. Czolgosz found work in a wire mill but in 1898 he suffered a mental breakdown and returned to the family farm.
Czolgosz rejected his family's Roman Catholic beliefs and in 1900 became excited by the news that the Italian immigrant, Gaetano Bresci, had returned to Italy and assassinatedKing Umberto. He kept newspapers cuttings of the assassination and started to readanarchist newspapers.
On May 6, 1901, Czolgosz travelled to Cleveland to hear Emma Goldman make a speech at the Federal Liberal Club. Afterwards Czolgosz spoke briefly to Goldman. He also followed her back to Chicago and attended other meetings where she made speeches onanarchism. Abraham Isaak became convinced that Czolgosz was a spy and issued a warning about him in his journal, the Free Society.
While in Chicago Czolgosz read that President William McKinley was planning to visit the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. On 3rd September Czolgosz bought a pistol and two days later was in the audience when McKinley gave a speech at the Temple of Music. Although surrounded by fifty bodyguards, Czolgosz was able to walk up to McKinley and fire two shots at him. Hit in the chest and abdomen, McKinley shouted out "Be easy with him, boys" as secret service agents beat Czolgosz with fists and pistol butts.

William McKinley in September, 1900.
William McKinley was taken to hospital where it was discovered that the chest wound was superficial but the other bullet had torn through the stomach wall. For the first few days his condition improved and newspapers reported that he would recover. However, the path of the bullet that had passed through the wall of the stomach and his kidney, had turned gangrenous and he died on the 14th September, 1901.
When questioned Czolgosz claimed he had been incited to kill McKinley by the speeches of Emma Goldman. She was arrested and imprisoned for questioning. When she was finally released she shocked the public by stating that: "He (Czolgosz) had committed the act for no personal reasons or gain. He did it for what is his ideal: the good of the people. That is why my sympathies are with him." However, as Bill Falkowski pointed out: "He (Czolgosz) was roundly denounced by spokespersons of the Left, with the lone sympathetic exception of Emma Goldman, who nonetheless advised against individual acts of political violence."
Leon Czolgosz was tried and found guilty of killing McKinley. Before being executed on 20th October, 1901, Czolgosz remarked that: "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people - the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime."

Living in a different part of the country from our respective families makes holiday planning a bit tricky for my significant other and me. Should we fly to your family or mine for Thanksgiving? Should they come to us? What about Christmas? It's a dilemma that many of you are probably faced with, too. How do you involve both sets of families in your holiday season?
Are you planning to carve the bird with his family or yours this year? Do you have any advice for newlyweds splitting their time between families during the holidays? Does coordinating with both families during the holidays make you want to rant or rave?

SEVERAL days bringing spells of torrential rain have caused water levels to rise to their highest in five years.
At the Wharf, in Grays, the 3.06pm high tide combined with higher-than-normal water level saw the Thames begin to flood pavements.
And more wet weather is on the way, with rain and gales set to hit Thurrock in the next 12 hours, though tomorrow could see some sunny respite.
Around 24mm of rain has fallen in the last four days alone, more than half of last January's total rainfall.
Police officers were dispatched to ensure people on Argent Street did not get too close to the flood waters at Grays Wharf, which subsided quickly as the tide began to fall.
One resident living on the Wharf said in the four years she had lived in the area, she had never seen the water level so high.

Thankfully, there was no damage to property nor disruption caused to traffic on Argent Street.
Thurrock Chief Inspector Ben Hodder said: "The water's going down rapidly now as high tide has passed and officers are leaving the scene. There's no disruption to Argent Street and the council will attend to assess any clean up and appropriate action for the next high tide."
Elsewhere, all four of the borough's scheduled non-league football matches were called off due to waterlogged pitches.
Referees deemed pitches at Aveley, Tilbury, East Thurrock United and Thurrock unplayable after deluges on Thursday and Friday.
A severe weather warning was in place for Thurrock on Saturday.
Independent meteorologist Phil Church, from Thurrock Weather, said: "To say the weather recently has been "unsettled" would be an understatement. Yesterday saw almost two seasons in one: spring and winter. It was gloriously sunny one minute with dark foreboding clouds and torrential rain the next.

"Temperatures are not falling below freezing most times but gales are still causing chaos around the region with yet more forecast tomorrow. Despite the rain warnings, today has seen 4.3mm of rain, with an astonishing 24.4mm of rain this month and we are only four days in!
"Tomorrow should see the return of a sunny day so don't throw stones at that fireball in the sky as it's meant to be there but gales and rain will arrive again after 4pm approximately."

Hi, I am confuse about this cardinality i found out that some of my table have 5 cardinality other table have 20..what does cardinality mean and is this important?
where did you learn about this?
i think all it means is the number of rows in the table
Hi r937, Okay so it mean by number of rows?..:)
i'm not sure
Hi r937,I saw this in my wamp server,when i open my tables i and then click the structure of my table there i saw the cardinality...i am just curious about this..thank you so much for the reply.
okay, just to check to make sure, run this for each table and tell me what you get --
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [I]table[/I]
[quote="r937,post:6,topic:25974"]okay, just to check to make sure, run this for each table and tell me what you get --
it returns number of records 7
that's weird
could you do this for both tables please --
SHOW CREATE TABLE [I]table[/I]
The Cardinality of a column would be equal to the number of rows returned by SELECT DISTINCT column1 FROM table1...
how this would be calculated for a TABLE... i dont know. Because surely every row in your table has SOME uniqueness...
Hi r937, this is the result of show create table
CREATE TABLE userref ( id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, First varchar(20) NOT NULL, Last varchar(20) NOT NULL, MI varchar(1) NOT NULL, Addss varchar(50) NOT NULL, phone varchar(11) NOT NULL, Email varchar(30) NOT NULL, Userident varchar(20) NOT NULL, Pass varchar(200) NOT NULL, Stat varchar(1) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id)) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=9 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
i tried to select count(*) from userrefit returns
it has 6 records.
Stack Overflow has some good explanations of the different meanings of cardinality in databases ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10621077/what-is-cardinality-in-databases .
"When talking about database query optimization, cardinality refers to the data in a column of a table, specifically how many unique values are in it. This statistic helps with planning queries and optimizing the execution plans."
"When you are looking at query plans, cardinality refers to the number of rows that are expected to be returned from a particular operation."
might be what you are looking for.
Thank you for the reply

A BURNLEY nurse caught in possession of child and extreme porn has been warned by a judge that he could face a prison sentence.
Locum David Hartley Haigh, 52, admitted three allegations of making an indecent photograph of a child between August and October 2012.
Five videos were graded at level four, the second-most serious category, another two videos were said to be at level two and a further 56 videos at level one, Burnley Crown Court heard.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing extreme pornography – 12 pictures involving sex with animals – between the same dates.
Haigh, of Brunshaw Road, was bailed until May 9, for a pre- sentence report.
Under conditions of bail he must not contact named individuals, not have any unsupervised contact with any child under 16 and must live at his home address.
He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders' register.
Adjourning the case, Judge Beverley Lunt warned Haigh: "These are serious matters.
"All sentences, including prison, will be considered."
Haigh has been suspended by his professional watchdog, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) since his employer, Pulse Staffing Ltd, reported the matter to it in November 2012. The nurse had told his bosses about his arrest four days earlier.
He was charged by Lancashire Police late last year and made his first appearance before Burnley magistrates on Christmas Eve.
The NMC's interim orders panel, sitting at the Old Bailey in London, has suspended his registration for 12 months, pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.

A seminar about the science of how forests and wetlands work to help limit damage from flooding will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Desmond Fish Library, 472 Route 403, Garrison,
Admission is free, but registration is recommended.
Marilyn Wyman, team leader of the Natural Resources Program with Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties, will talk about the relationship between forests and flood mitigation: how forests slow the flood of water, increase filtration and absorption, and help to stabilize stream banks. She will also discuss some of the problems facing important forested land, including invasive species, fragmentation and the lack of regeneration.
Laura Heady, biodiversity outreach coordinator with the Hudson River Estuary Program and Cornell University's Department of Natural Resources, will share her knowledge and research about wetlands: their role in maintaining clean water, controlling floodwaters and protecting shorelines and stream banks from erosion and property damage.
This seminar is part of a series sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell University, in partnership with the state Department of Environmental Conservation's Hudson River Estuary Program and New York State Water Resources Institute. The Hudson Estuary Watershed Resiliency Project is an educational initiative designed to help municipal officials and stream-side landowners prepare for floods and climate change in the Hudson Valley. Educators from the Cornell Cooperative Extension associations in Columbia, Greene, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam counties are teaching municipal personnel and landowners in target areas about flood preparedness.
The goal of the project is to provide assistance to communities in developing effective flood readiness and flood response plans. After a severe storm and flooding event, landowners and municipal officials have many decisions to make. There are immediate responses to protect human safety and to repair infrastructure. Once the initial crisis period has passed, there is the opportunity to develop strategies to minimize future flooding impacts. The Hudson Estuary Watershed Resiliency Project will provide communities with information that can enhance flood planning and preparedness in advance of the next big storm.
Staff members from the regional Cornell Cooperative Extension offices will work with municipal officials and landowners in several watersheds across the Hudson Valley. CCE staff has interviewed local officials across the region through a process led by Cornell University to identify local knowledge of how streams work, and needs for further information and training. Results from these interviews will help guide the development of the program so that it meets the needs of municipal officials and stream-side landowners. CCE staff will also be utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping and analysis to determine critical target areas for the program.
CCE is collaborating with the Lower Hudson Coalition of Conservation Districts to train highway personnel and contractors on the topic of post-flood stream repair.
CCE will also provide educational presentations and seminars for municipal officials; workshops and hands-on trainings for landowners; resource materials including fact sheets identifying which agencies to contact during and after flood events, and planning tools to assist municipalities with reducing vulnerability to flooding.
To register for the seminar, use the online registration form at http://floodseries3.eventbrite.com/. For more information or to register by phone, contact Dianne Olsen, Extension Educator at firstname.lastname@example.com or 845-278-6738.

Destructive winds and heavy rain are expected to lash coastal north Queensland areas over the weekend as a possible cyclone tracks towards the mainland, forecasters say.
A strengthening tropical low, which was about 560km northeast of Cairns on Friday, is expected to form into a cyclone in the Coral Sea on Sunday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a cyclone watch warning for coastal areas from Cairns to Mackay.
There is a 50 per cent chance the storm will make landfall as a cyclone on Sunday or Monday, but forecasters have warned it's too early to say exactly where it will hit or if it will cross the coast.
"It's going to get close," BOM forecaster Dean Narramore said.
"A lot of the models get it right to the coast and then the steering influences changes just as it's getting to the coast and then it moves back away."
Early predictions show the storm making landfall near Bowen, between Townsville and Mackay.
But whether the system makes landfall or not, residents between Cairns and Mackay can expect strong winds and areas between Cooktown and Mackay could see heavy rain over the weekend.
Areas between Townsville and Mackay could see destructive winds and up to 200mm of rain.
"If it's just going to get close to the coast and stay there for a while that can be just as bad (as if it made landfall)," Mr Narramore said.
"You're going to get really bad conditions along the coast for up to a day or so."
If it forms into a cyclone it will be called Gillian and will be the fourth to hit the state this wet season after cyclones Dylan, Edna and Fletcher.

WTF? I already preorderd. I better get a refund if they dont deliver!
Umm, I don't think Apple has any legitimate claim here. Steve Job's estate would, but not Apple. Honestly, Apple doesn't own the rights to Steve Jobs.
If someone wanted to make an action figure based on you, the company that you work for can't say that they can't because you belong to them.
The figure would be epic to have (especially if recalled later) but this just proves how much apple really sucks. If they have to sue everyone for stupid reasons like this then they obviously are going broke.
What wierdo would buy this?! Hahah so lame

Healthy Living
Welcome to Nutrition Explorations dedicated to promoting healthy eating habits and providing information about how to stay fit and prolong life. A nutritious, well-balanced diet combined with physical activity is the foundation of good health. Healthy eating means consuming high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, heart-healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water while eliminating processed foods and saturated fats.
Those who want to increase your chances of staying healthy should reduce fat in their diets. It is a well-known fact that overconsumption of fat can lead to excess weight which in its turn increases your chances of developing health problems, including heart disease, hypertension, respiratory issues, diabetes and cancer. Healthy eating also helps support the activities of day-to-day living, promotes optimal body weight and assists in disease prevention. For example, protein rebuilds injured tissue and promotes a healthy immune system while both carbohydrates and fats fuel your body. And, of course, getting vitamins and minerals is essential for support of your bodys processes. Vitamins A, C and E, for instance, act as antioxidants and B vitamins help extract energy from the foods you eat.
A well balance diet should include all the nutrients necessary for healthy living. But how to figure out how much fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals do you need daily? Fortunately, there are many companies that provide healthy eating plans and dietary solutions so there is not need for counting calories. Check out GNC, IdealShape, Medifast or Dukan Diet for high quality dietary supplements, healthy meal plans, shakes and well-balanced foods that will help you achieve your weight goals and prevent disease.

BOMA Greater Phoenix launches Kilowatt Krackdown initiative to reduce energy consumption marketwide.
Last year, BOMA International announced its 7-Point Challenge, encouraging local chapter members to reduce the carbon footprint of their buildings. BOMA Greater Phoenix embraced the opportunity and formed the Green Buildings Committee to further this goal, and in the process, pursued LEED certification for one of their member's existing buildings. This year, the committee extends the sustainability challenge to the commercial real estate community.
What is Kilowatt Krackdown
Kilowatt Krackdown, an initiative launched by the committee in July 2009, challenges the industry to take on the first 2 steps of the 7-Point Challenge:
- Decrease building energy consumption by 30% by 2012
- Benchmark energy performance through the EPA's ENERGY STAR tool
Phoenix Metro ranks 22nd in the country for the number of ENERGY STAR-qualified buildings in 2008, points out Dave Munn, principal and chief technical officer at Chelsea Group Ltd. and co-chair of the Green Buildings Committee. "Given that we are No. 5 in the country in population … we need to bolster efforts here to get more facilities to participate in this program, and show the country that we are indeed committed to energy efficiency."
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon was the first mayor in the United States to endorse BOMA International's 7-point Challenge, and to begin benchmarking energy performance of municipal buildings. The committee continues to work on recruiting mayors of other cities to accept the challenge.
APS and SRP have partnered with the committee on the Kilowatt Krackdown initiative to sponsor an energy efficient training series for building management and maintenance staff. In a 4-hour, interactive workshop, participants learn how to use the EPA's ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager benchmarking program, which provides ENERGY STAR ratings on buildings, makes comparisons to similar facilities in the geographic area, tracks energy performance over time and pinpoints specific ways to save energy in the future. The online tracking system provides a print-out of kilowatt usage and a new ENERGY STAR rating every 4 to 6 weeks.
"People need tangible results," says Susan Engstrom, senior real estate manager at Tiarna Real Estate Services and president of BOMA Greater Phoenix. "I think it's encouraging to see a piece of paper comparing your energy usage month-to-month and year-to-year, and to get an ENERGY STAR rating each time. This gives an incentive to improve."
The workshops also explain how to take advantage of the power companies' resources and incentive programs. According to Jerry Ufnal, new construction liaison for the APS Solutions for Business Program and BOMA Green Buildings Committee member, the power company offers the next step to the benchmarking program.
APS and SRP can evaluate each of their customer's facilities to identify areas in need of improvement. They can also train building operators on how to run equipment more efficiently, give rebates for energy studies and energy-efficient upgrades, and provide information on current renewable energy resources available in Arizona, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and bio-gas.
"I consider energy efficiency to be one of the strongest things you can do from a green perspective," Ufnal says. "It has tremendous advantages for building owners because they reduce the cost of operations and maintenance of their buildings, which makes them more profitable. And at the same time they are saving energy and resources. It just makes good, logical sense."

Just came back form the lottery. Tough shit. I mean almost all of the options were just unbelievable this semester. Before entering Wood Auditorium I thought Karl Chu was going to be my first but damn. I ended up like this...
Roche (tres cool)
etc etc....
On a more stressing note, once again we are asked to summon a paper to be allowed the pleasure of taking a theory class. This time is with Kenny Frampton. So I guess Its competition till the end...

Francoise Roche aka hello kitty
Francoise's passport after he turned it into a "grey" flower.
Speaking of Francoise's work, I couldnt help to notice how it formaly resembles HDA's stuff. And that whole robotic thing just blew my mind. Plus I was cheking his FEIDAD stuff, the 1:1 pavillion looked like some of last semesters 3d prints in HDA's studio. So I was wondering why is HDA more "known" .....mmmmmm maybe is US exposure, and maybe that is why Francoise is here now......
Francois is amazing person, i had the oportunity to chat w/him a couple of times, and from that + knowing their work (+SiE) i have the impression he would be an amazing studio option
You should talk to some Upenn peps from Francois's spring studio. He was not received well at all for various reasons. You're right on with Cook - though i would have placed lisa ann and hawkinson way down - speaking from experience of course.
so who did you end up with, eduardo?
I was placed in Francois's studio, which was first choice, but I didn't know until after the fact that studio met thursday instead of friday for now...and from my understanding, he won't be back in america until the 23rd. sucks for me.
well misterTT, I got Cook, so I am pretty stoked. Seems that a lot of people got what they wanted. What do u think about the visual studies man? So many incredible options, I was overwhelmed. I hope I get into Alisa Andrasek's or Cory's and then Toru's/Chris'/Roland's

'Management as Ministry', a CHHSM and CTS CollaborationMarch 30, 2014By the Rev. Danielle Bartz
The Council for Health and Human Service Ministries of the United Church of Christ (CHHSM) and Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) are teaming up this May to offer a one-week intensive course on faith-based nonprofit leadership. The course, entitled "Management as Ministry: Learnings from Faith-Based Health and Human Services," will be taught by two CTS alums; CHHSM president and CEO Bryan Sickbert and CHHSM ministry Consecra Housing Network CEO Timothy Rhodes.
The course was conceived in response to a growing trend of seminary students entering ministries that are outside church settings. However, the course is also valuable for students who are called to congregational ministries because those are nonprofits as well. According to the purpose statement of the course: "The course will introduce participants to cutting-edge leadership practice such as social entrepreneurship, appreciative inquiry, and strengths-based management that will benefit anyone in an organizational leadership role."The weeklong course will combine classroom lectures and discussions as well as trips to CHHSM ministries in the Chicago area. A variety of CHHSM leaders will come together to offer students their wisdom and advice, ranging from theologically grounded leadership to practical matters such as human resources and financial management.The course will take place May 19-23 at Chicago Theological Seminary. Each day will include six-to-seven hours of in-person instruction and discussion. Students will also be expected to do after-hours work, such as reading and writing.
Texts for the course are listed on the CTS website.
