Thes 2 toys were my favorite ones. The Texaco Tanker has a motor and took 2 D-cell batteries. My dad bought this at a Texaco station in Highlandville, Mo. It was in the summer in 1961. It would float in water and propel through the water and would slowly fill up an internal reservoir. This would make it appear it was loaded with oil. I have no idea what its worth but it means a lot to me because I enjoyed it in my youth.
The second toy is a Navy Fighter bomber. Made by Hubley this plane is made of metal. The wings fold up and the wheels also fold up into the bottom of the plane. It's amazing that I still have the box that goes with it but it has seen its days. I got this plane from my mom as a reward for being good and brave for going to a dentist that didn't believe in using novacaine. I was 7 years old at the time.

I Show YouRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
You see me often ladies,
For I am a part of your life.
I sometimes bother babies
But prefer to cause adults strife.
My looks are a sign of your personality.
My strength cannot measure up to yours.
With most people I am there for eternity.
Onto me, water often pours.
Many look to me with pride,
While others wish to change me.
Drifting slowly, my time I bide
Waiting for you to see
That I am just a thing you're given,
Not something very important.
For I have always been and will forever be dead.
HintNote the "ladies."
It often gets in your face (at least it does to girls).
Some babies are born with it, some are not.
You wash your hair often, and get it changed just as much.
This may sound a little too scientific, but hair is made of dead cells, just like your upper layer of skin.
What Next?
See another brain teaser just like this one...
Or, just get a random brain teaser
If you become a registered user you can vote on this riddle, keep track of
which ones you have seen, and even make your own.

To the Editor:
Congratulations to ECM Publishers for the editorial titled, "Feds out of touch with working poor." I've often skimmed lead editorials, since they didn't seem to want to rock the boat, but not this time.
The editorial is right: We miss the plight of the poor who will suffer these cuts, particularly contrasted with middle class decisions to vacation in Wisconsin Dells instead of Disney World. It is very hard for most of us to truly grasp the meaning of hunger, especially a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that provides less than $5 per day per person in food stamp support. That's approximately a large latte and two candy bars.
The other side of the Farm Bill was not addressed, which I feel is a major issue. While $20 billion in cuts are being proposed to the SNAP program, $920 billion remained in farm subsidies. The vast majority go to the largest agribusinesses in this country.
Both sides of the aisle lament this corporate welfare without effect. Why? Once again, the influence of money in politics is clear.
Highly paid lobbyists, many former legislators, spend numerous hours on Capitol Hill courting former colleagues to retain programs their clients love. Further, some of these agribusinesses pay little or no taxes.
A "wag of the finger" goes to my congressman. He may be silent on the issue, but his silence speaks volumes. This has been consistent for U.S. Rep. John Kline: Hear no evil, neither see nor speak any (unless it's about ObamaCare).
The poor are staring at a bleak future, while the largest of our corporations gather more welfare. Apparently for the congressman, there's nothing wrong with that, judging by his silence. We should expect more, and we'll demand more at the ballot box.

- The continuous stop location problem in public transportation networks (2002)
- In this paper we consider the location of stops along the edges of an already existing public transportation network. This can be the introduction of bus stops along some given bus routes, or of railway stations along the tracks in a railway network. The positive effect of new stops is given by the better access of the potential customers to their closest station, while the increasement of travel time caused by the additional stopping activities of the trains leads to a negative effect. The goal is to cover all given demand points with a minimal amount of additional traveling time, where covering may be defined with respect to an arbitrary norm (or even a gauge). Unfortunately, this problem is NP-hard, even if only the Euclidean distance is used. In this paper, we give a reduction to a finite candidate set leading to a discrete set covering problem. Moreover, we identify network structures in which the coefficient matrix of the resulting set covering problem is totally unimodular, and use this result to derive efficient solution approaches. Various extensions of the problem are also discussed.
- Mathematical Modelling of Evacuation Problems: A State of Art (2001)
- This paper details models and algorithms which can be applied to evacuation problems. While it concentrates on building evacuation many of the results are applicable also to regional evacuation. All models consider the time as main parameter, where the travel time between components of the building is part of the input and the overall evacuation time is the output. The paper distinguishes between macroscopic and microscopic evacuation models both of which are able to capture the evacuees' movement over time. Macroscopic models are mainly used to produce good lower bounds for the evacuation time and do not consider any individual behavior during the emergency situation. These bounds can be used to analyze existing buildings or help in the design phase of planning a building. Macroscopic approaches which are based on dynamic network flow models (minimum cost dynamic flow, maximum dynamic flow, universal maximum flow, quickest path and quickest flow) are described. A special feature of the presented approach is the fact, that travel times of evacuees are not restricted to be constant, but may be density dependent. Using multicriteria optimization priority regions and blockage due to fire or smoke may be considered. It is shown how the modelling can be done using time parameter either as discrete or continuous parameter. Microscopic models are able to model the individual evacuee's characteristics and the interaction among evacuees which influence their movement. Due to the corresponding huge amount of data one uses simulation approaches. Some probabilistic laws for individual evacuee's movement are presented. Moreover ideas to model the evacuee's movement using cellular automata (CA) and resulting software are presented. In this paper we will focus on macroscopic models and only summarize some of the results of the microscopic approach. While most of the results are applicable to general evacuation situations, we concentrate on building evacuation.
- Polyhedral Properties of the Uncapacitated Multiple Allocation Hub Location Problem (2000)
- We examine the feasibility polyhedron of the uncapacitated hub location problem (UHL) with multiple allocation, which has applications in the fields of air passenger and cargo transportation, telecommunication and postal delivery services. In particular we determine the dimension and derive some classes of facets of this polyhedron. We develop some general rules about lifting facets from the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) for UHL and projecting facets from UHL to UFL. By applying these rules we get a new class of facets for UHL which dominates the inequalities in the original formulation. Thus we get a new formulation of UHL whose constraints are all facet–defining. We show its superior computational performance by benchmarking it on a well known data set.
- Design of Zone Tariff Systems in Public Transportation (2000)
- Given a public transportation system represented by its stops and direct connections between stops, we consider two problems dealing with the prices for the customers: The fare problem in which subsets of stops are already aggregated to zones and "good" tariffs have to be found in the existing zone system. Closed form solutions for the fare problem are presented for three objective functions. In the zone problem the design of the zones is part of the problem. This problem is NP hard and we therefore propose three heuristics which prove to be very successful in the redesign of one of Germany's transportation systems

BDI: neutral to surrounding letters
Test passes if the two boxes below look exactly the same.
Assertion: 'For the purposes of applying the bidirectional algorithm to the paragraph-level container that a bdi element finds itself within, the bdi element must be treated like a U+FFFC OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.' Thus, regardless of its content and its dir attribute (if any), a BDI will not prevent a strongly RTL (or LTR) character preceding it from forming a single directional run with another strongly RTL (LTR) character following it.

12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Jan. 16, 2003
Herndon-Monroe Bus Departure Bays Change Feb. 3
Effective Feb. 3, 2003, construction will begin on the east side of the Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride, causing bus passengers to relocate to bus bays on the newly completed west side of the Park & Ride. Bus bays lettered A, B, C, D, temporary F and temporary G will be closed, and buses will be re-assigned to bus bays E, F, G and H on the west end of the Park & Ride.
A canopy is being constructed over the bus platform to provide Herndon-Monroe bus passengers with greater shelter from the elements. Contractors have just completed the canopy on the western half of the bus platform (closest to the parking garage), and now will shift their work to the eastern side. The construction zone will be closed off, and signs directing passengers to their relocated buses will be placed throughout the facility. Construction is expected to continue for four months.
Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride features 1,745 free parking spaces, access to and from the Dulles Toll Road, and express bus service every six minutes to and from the West Falls Church Metro Station. The Connector Store at Herndon-Monroe normally is open during weekday rush-hours to offer pass and ticket sales, free assistance to commuters, and free maps and bus schedules, but Connector Store operations will be impacted by the construction. Passengers will be notified of any changes before they occur.
The Fairfax Connector bus system operates 11 bus routes from the Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride. Metrobus route 5A also makes a stop at Herndon-Monroe.
For more information, contact the FAIRFAX CONNECTOR Information Center at 703-339-7200, TTY 703-339-1608, or visit the Web site at www.fairfaxconnector.com.

PLANS to accept police superintendents who have not worked their way through the ranks have been criticised by the Police Federation.
North Yorkshire Police will use the Direct Entry scheme to select two new superintendents, but the Federation says the roles cost too much when policing budgets are being squeezed.
Entrants will follow an 18-month training programme devised by the College of Policing, with initial reports suggesting the training will cost £180,000 per entrant with the money coming from central funds.
Sergeant Mike Stubbs, chairman of North Yorkshire Police Federation, said the scheme may not be the best use of limited resources, and the money used to provide that funding had been slashed from the budgets of police forces around the country.
Sgt Stubbs said: "The Home Office funding for these posts will last for three years and North Yorkshire Police cannot be criticised for taking advantage of it.
"But we are astonished that the Home Office can find this sort of money for an untested scheme which attracted little support from within the service when it was proposed. North Yorkshire Police recruits to high standards and we already have some outstanding individuals. The public are entitled to ask whether the Home Office has got its policing priorities right."

A FATHER removed his son from a Blackburn school after claiming he had repeatedly complained about bullying.
Tahir Hussain said his 13-year-old son Binyameen, had been psychically and verbally assaulted by an older student and that he was even threatened with a knife in the toilets of his former high school.
Mr Hussain said he has contacted St Wilfrid's Academy high school repeatedly about the issue and had reported two instances to Ofsted and the police.
A spokeswoman for Lancashire police confirmed officers were aware of the situation and had spoken to both boys involved but, having found no evidence of a knife, decided it was a matter for the school. Ofsted also confirmed it had been contacted.
But Mr Hussain said he had 'lost hope' and 'given up' on the school.
Mr Hussain said: "My son was in the toilets and an older student pulled out a knife and showed it to my son. They seem to be trying to brush it under the carpet so they don't have to deal with it."
Mr Hussain said he and his wife watched their son loose interest in things he once loved, lose weight and become introverted.
They even took him to accident and emergency at the Royal Blackburn Hospital twice, when he was physically sick and shaking at the thought of going to school.
Binyameen has now missed six weeks of school and Mr Hussain is trying to find him a place elsewhere.
Mr Hussain said: "My son has lost half a stone in seven weeks. This whole thing has made him ill and for a long time, we didn't know what was wrong.
"He was too scared to tell us about the bullying and we were worried he had a health problem.
"He eventually told us and we went to the school straight away but they just won't deal with it."
A spokesperson for St Wilfrid's said: "The school has proactively recorded and managed this issue at every stage.
"When the police became involved they told the school they were satisfied we had taken the matter very seriously and were happy with our actions in relation to the issue.
"The issue continues to be monitored and we would not wish to comment further at this stage."

What's the best way to display a collection of art or photographs?
Unify a collection of prints in different sizes and subjects by framing them in the same way. Hung together on a wall, they take the place of one large piece of art. Even a close corner comes alive when artfully decorated with a framed collection. Or, try a modern way to display your art collection: lean multiple frames of various sizes and finishes against the wall on a floating shelf for a chic collage effect.

Wildlife Conservation Center Opens at Gus Engeling WMA
TENNESSEE COLONY, Texas — For more than half a century, the Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area in Anderson County has been dedicated to wildlife research and habitat conservation.
To provide a place for future generations of environmentally-conscious Texans to learn about proper land management practices, the WMA recently opened the Gus A. Engeling Wildlife Conservation Center.
The 4,200-square-foot, handicapped-accessible facility will serve a variety of purposes, but the main function of the conservation center will be to educate private landowners and area youth.
"Most of Texas land is privately owned, so to have an impact on wildlife, conservation has to occur on private property," said Hayden Haucke, Gus Engeling WMA manager with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
According to Haucke, the Gus A. Engeling Wildlife Conservation Center is a great launching pad for in-the-field training.
"What's unique about this site is that you can use the facility and then go out and actually see the important conservation features on the landscape," said Haucke.
Gus Engeling WMA is an 11,000-acre property in the Post-Oak Savannah eco-region of East Texas near Palestine. Four pitcher plant bogs, relict pine sites, Catfish Creek and upland savannah restoration sites are some of the ecological highlights of the property.
Interpretive self-guided nature trails are open to visitors and a brochure outlining a self-guided automobile driving tour is also available. The driving tour takes visitors through 10 stops that address wildlife, habitat and management techniques. Nature viewing, bird watching, photography, hiking, camping and hunting opportunities are also available at the Gus Engeling WMA.
The new Gus A. Engeling Wildlife Conservation Center is located just off the facility's main road. The center's meeting area can provide seating for approximately 120 individuals, and is open to TPWD partners and educational personnel through advance reservation.
More information on Engeling WMA is on the TPWD Web site. To obtain further information regarding the use of the Gus A. Engeling Wildlife Conservation Center, phone the WMA at (903) 928-2251.http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/wma/find_a_wma/list/?id=10

The undercover video case surrounding Quanah Cattle Co., a company that buys bull calves from dairy farms, took an unusual turn as authorities arrested an undercover activist for allegedly not reporting the abuse in a timely manner.
The activist is Taylor Radig, who calls herself a "contractor" for the animal-rights group Compassion Over Killing. According to KMGH-TV (7 News) in Denver, Radig filmed the abuse from mid-July through September.
Radig reportedly handed the footage over to the Weld County, Colo., Sheriff's Office two months after she stopped working there.
On Friday, Radig was charged with animal cruelty for allegedly not reporting the abuse when it was occurring, which is a violation of state law. Click here to read more.
The undercover video initially surfaced in mid-November. Read, "Video shows abuse of bull calves."
An upcoming webinar sponsored by the Center for Food Integrity will outline how to survive an undercover video, including a step-by-step plan to restoring public trust in the wake of the video.

As it turns out, its the most overstable disc in my bag. no matter how hard i throw, its gonna hook pretty much as soon as it leaves my hand.

ROME — Gap Inc. announced that it will open its first Gap flagship store in Rome on Via del Corso, the city's premier shopping district. The company said it expects to open the store on July 30.
"Our Milan store launch has been a phenomenal success, exceeding our expectations and underscoring the potential for our brands in Italy," said Stephen Sunnucks, president international for Gap Inc. "The opening of our first flagship in Rome, a city at the heart of the arts and culture, as well as a top global tourist destination, is an exciting development in our European growth."
The two-story, 14,111 sq. ft. store will house the Gap adult, GapKids, babyGap and GapBody brands. According to the company, the store will include several of the structure's original elements including a 1940's mural by Giulio Russo showcasing men on a scaffold wearing white T-shirts and denim. Gap has also reinterpreted and localized Gap's American store design through the use of premium materials such as marble and warm toned woods. At the heart of the stores is a floating white staircase composed of stone and white glass and a sky light positioned directly above.

Here's an unusual bag post...
My mom lives in Japan, she's played maybe 20 rounds of disc golf in her life, and she's decided to enter the Japan Open this year. Currently, she throws only 2 discs, 100 gram Heros.
She's asked me to recommend her some discs that she could pick up and practice with in the ~3 weeks before the tournament. She's looking to have a 6 disc bag.
Keep in mind she's a 53 year old woman (i.e. not alot of power) and a relative beginner..
So, what kind of discs, 150g or less, would you guys recommend?

BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche admits he is keen to sign Chris Baird and today expects a resolution on whether he will join the Clarets.
Dyche confirmed the 32-year-old, a free agent, is a player he is looking to bring to Turf Moor but admits that he faces a battle for his signature.
The Clarets chief said: "He's someone that we'd be interested in. He's obviously very experienced and can cover three or four slots, and in a small squad like ours players like him are ones we'd be thinking about.
"We've had a chat about the idea of it. There are a couple of clubs who are interested in that situation.
"We have got an interest in chris and we'll see where that takes us.
"It's only competition from his point of view.
"Has he got a decision to make? Possibly, possibly not. I think there will be light on that today.
"I'd have no qualms about throwing him in. He's a very experienced player and that can be very useful. We've checked him out and if he's feeling fit and well, we'll use him accordingly."
Baird, who is a centre back by trade but can also play at full back, had been training with Reading and made nine appearances for Nigel Adkins' side earlier in the season.
He last played for the Royals in a 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers in November and has continued to train with Reading but the club were unable to offer him a deal.
Baird was released by Fulham in the summer where he made more than 100 appearances during his six years at Craven Cottage having began his career at Southampton.
He also has 61 caps for Northern Ireland.

Hello Friends!
I've got a little problem after getting the upgrade. Sometimes the white little arrow before a shortcut on the launcher starts blinking rapidly for no reason I am aware of, so it locks the system. If I succeed to quit the programme, the same things happens to another, so at the end it only lasts for me to restart the system. Are there any solutions for that?
Thanks a lot!

As producers finish harvesting their second cutting of alfalfa or first cutting of grass hay some may be looking to market the hay they don't need. To maximize profits, there are a few things Tracey Renelt, SDSU Extension Dairy Field Specialist encourages hay producers to consider.
"First, have you taken an analysis of the forage to determine the quality? This can be done by coring the bales via a hay probe," Renelt said.
Hay probes should be placed on the side and coring towards the center in round bales or on the butt ends when coring square bales. Renelt said it is important to core several random bales per lot - approximately 20 cores per 8 to 10 large round bales - and combine the sample and place the cores into gallon size plastic bag or other container and seal.
"Samples should represent a cutting of hay from a particular field or lot," she said.
To watch and learn about the proper methods of hay sampling you may want to watch a short "how to" video at the iGrow Youtube site or simply go to iGrow and click on "Visit our You Tube Channel."
There are several labs which then can perform an analysis on the sample to determine the feed quality. For lab contact information, contact an SDSU Extension Regional Center, contact information can be found at iGrow.
"You can either perform a wet chemistry analysis or what is most commonly done is a Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis which is the quickest and cheapest method," Renelt said.
The NIRS analysis provides results for relative feed value (RFV), relative feed quality (RFQ), percent dry matter, crude protein, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), digestible NDF, lignin, crude fat, ash, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium, Total Digestible Nutrients, Net Energy for gain, lactation and maintenance, NDF digestibility, and non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC).
"So why is this important? As we know alfalfa and grass quality will vary greatly based on maturity at the time of harvest, conditions it was put up under, and storage methods," she said. "Thus, it has given you a way to value the product based upon its quality."
The second item Renelt encourages growers to consider when determining a fair price is the method it was put up under.
"Was the hay put up as a large round bale or small or large square bale? Was it net wrapped or not? Is it plastic twine or sisal twine? Has it sat out and been rained on since harvest or has it been stored in the shed? All these things should be considered when pricing your commodity or purchasing it as a feedstuff," she said.
The last item Renelt said growers should consider before setting a price is to visually inspect the hay to determine if there are noxious weeds, mold, or foreign material present in the hay. All of which, she said, can change the price received but will not show up on an NIRS analysis. Additionally, if state or locally noxious weeds are present it will prevent you from transporting the hay.
To see what hay is selling for, she directs growers to a website maintained by the USDA which provides a weekly market update on hay markets. Once there, click on Market News in the left hand column, then click on Livestock, Meats, Grain and Hay, then click on Hay under Browse by Commodity. Once there growers will be able to pick the region where they want to view the weekly hay report for. If growers do not have internet access, they can contact their local SDSU Extension Regional Center and staff can look up the price.

Making Natural Food Dyes
For a natural look to your Easter eggs, you can dye them with everyday kitchen ingredients.
Onion Skin Dye. To make dye from yellow onion skins, place several skins in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil; let cool and discard skins. Based on the number of onion skins used and the amount of time the eggs soak, you'll get warm tones that can range from gold to a rich terra cotta.
Brewed Coffee Dye. Simply brew a pot of strong coffee and cool. The color can range from a light speckled tan to a more solid dark tan depending on how strong the coffee is and how long the egg soaks.
Cranberry Dye. To make a dye from fresh cranberries, boil 4 cups cranberries in 2 cups cold water until the berries burst. Let cool. Drain the mixture, saving the liquid and discarding the cranberries. To create a light blue-toned egg, soak for only a short time. Soaking an egg longer results in a dark gray color.

Lucas is coming off of an outstanding junior campaign that saw her take home top conference honors, as well as All-America accolades from the WBCA, Associated Press, USBWA and Full Court. The Narberth, Pa. native averaged 20.1 points per game to finish third in the Big Ten and 16th nationally. Lucas also finished in the Top 10 in the country in three-point field goal percentage (4th- .462) and free throw percentage (9th - 90.0) and was 11th in three-point field goals made (3.06).
Taylor made an immediate impact for the Lady Lions, finishing second on the team and fifth in the Big Ten in steals with a 2.4 per game average.

text: felipedrl 150 Report post Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) [SOLVED~ I posted my insight on this below, plus some possible causes for stuttering in case someone has as similar problem] Hi,[background=transparent] [/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent] [background=transparent]I'm coding a rhythm game and the game runs smoothly with uncapped fps. But when I try to cap it around 60 the game updates in little chunks, like hiccups, as if it was skipping frames or at a very low frame rate. The reason I need to cap frame rate is because in some computers I tested the fps varies a lot (from ~80 - ~250 fps) and those drops are noticeable and degrade response time. Since this is a rhythm game this is very important.[/background] [background=transparent]This issue is driving me crazy. I've spent a a whole week already and still can't figure out the problem. I hope someone more experienced than me could shed some light on it. I'll try to put here all the hints I've tried along with the code for my game loop, so I apologize with this post gets too lengthy.[/background] [/background][/size][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent][background=transparent]1st GameLoop:[/background] [/background][/size][/background] [background=transparent][background=transparent][CODE] const uint UPDATE_SKIP = 1000 / 60; uint nextGameTick = SDL_GetTicks();[/background][/background] while(isNotDone) { // only false when a QUIT event is generated! if (processEvents()) { if (SDL_GetTicks() > nextGameTick) { update(UPDATE_SKIP); render(); nextGameTick += UPDATE_SKIP; } } } [/CODE][/background][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent] [background=transparent]2nd Game Loop:[/background] [color=black][background=transparent] [/background][/color][/background][/size][/background][background=transparent][background=transparent][color=black][background=transparent][CODE] const uint UPDATE_SKIP = 1000 / 60; while (isNotDone) { LARGE_INTEGER startTime; QueryPerformanceCounter(&startTime);[/background][/color][/background][/background] // process events will return false in case of a QUIT event processed if (processEvents()) { update(frameTime); render(); } LARGE_INTEGER endTime; do { QueryPerformanceCounter(&endTime); frameTime = static_cast<uint>((endTime.QuadPart - startTime.QuadPart) * 1000.0 / frequency.QuadPart); } while (frameTime < UPDATE_SKIP); } [/CODE][/background][/color][/background][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent] [background=transparent][1] At first I thought is was a problem with timer resolution. I was using SDL_GetTicks, but even when I switched to QueryPerformanceCounter I saw no difference.[/background] [/background][/size][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent][background=transparent][2] Then I thought it could be an rounding error in my position computation and since game updates are smaller in high FPS that would be less noticeable. Indeed there is an small error, but from my tests I realized that is not enough to produce the position jumps I'm getting. Also, another intriguing factor is that if I enable vsync I'll get smooth updates @60fps regardless frame cap code. So why not rely on vsync? Because some computers can force a disable on gfx card config.[/background] [/background][/size][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent][background=transparent][3] I started printing the maximum and minimum frame time measured in 1sec span, in the hope that every a few frames one would take a long time and still not enough to drop my fps computation. With frame cap I get always min = 16ms and max = 18, and still, the game "does not moves like jagger".[/background] [/background][/size][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent][background=transparent][4] My process priority is set to HIGH (Windows doesn't allow me to set REALTIME for some reason). As far as I know there is only one thread running along with the game (sound callback, which I really don't have access to it). I'm using Audiere. I then disabled Audiere by removing it from the project and still got the issue. Maybe there are some others threads running and one of them is taking too long to come back right in between when I measured frame times, I don't know. Is there a way to know which threads are attached to my process?[/background] [/background][/size][/background] [background=transparent][size=4][background=transparent][background=transparent][5] There are some dynamic data being created during game run.

The talk about BigData is getting louder by the minute. As companies shift their core systems to the cloud, more and more people-related data becomes available. This, coupled with the tremendous focus on BigData in the technology sector, has created a huge focus on data driven decision-making.
Why Analytics is Coming to HR
If you think about the history of analytics in other business areas, the evolution looks like the chart below. When companies started industrializing their manufacturing, they eventually purchased ERP software and developed supply chain and financial analytics.
In the 1970s and 1980s companies started to industrialize their customer marketing and analysis, and we started to focus on "the market of one." This led to a tremendous explosion in CRM and sales analysis systems, which today has become a huge industry in customer segmentation and marketing analytics.
Now, given the global recession and talent imbalances in the world, companies are focusing on replacing their legacy HR systems to help apply analytics reasoning to HR and talent. As the chart shows, in each of these evolutions we started with reporting and core understanding and then moved to predictive analytics. This is what is happening in HR.
Fig 1: The Inevitable Shift to HR and Talent Analytics
The Tools Market
A major part of this shift is the explosion in new tools. Today nearly every major HR software vendor (Oracle, SAP, ADP, Ceridian, Workday as well as specialty companies like SumTotal, Cornerstone, Lumesse, Silkroad, Ultimate, and hundreds of others) are building and buying end-to-end HR suites, very similarly to the evolution of customer relationship marketing. The clear next step is for these vendors to launch tools to help you analyze and segment this data.
Today Oracle (OBIA), SAP (Workforce Intelligence), Workday (BigdataAnalytics), and SumTotal have all launched major integrated HR analytics systems. Mercer has their own solution and a variety of smaller vendors are delivering amazing analytics systems as well (Visier comes to mind).
Oracle's Fusion HCM even has a predictive analytics engine which tries to compute potential talent problems for you, right out of the box. SAP's offering, built of years of experience from InfoHrm, will do the same.
These tools, which are focused on meeting the needs of HR and managers, have to handle a lot of workload: analyzing the hundreds of standard reports which HR managers need, plus bringing together non-HR data to look at people-related business performance. (Our new HR Measurement Framework helps sort out all these measures.)
And IT departments are now looking at a variety of IT-driven analytics tools (companies like Platfora, Splunk, and dozens of others) which run open source parallel systems like Hadoop and MapReduce to help you combine internal business data with social, location, and many other sources.
The Consulting Market
Since data analytics is a very multi-disciplinary problem, there is also a tremendous growth in consulting offerings in this market. Mercer, for example, launched its iknow platform (a toolset based on MicroStrategy), Deloitte has a major practice in data analytics across all business functions, and IBM is putting together a wide variety of analytics services (to also leverage Cognos and SPSS, two tool sets now sold by IBM). Driven by the tremendous growth here, we can expect many more consultancies to move in this direction.
I personally believe that BigData and talent analytics will be a consulting-driven market for the next few years. Despite the amazing set of tools now available, the real challenge is process and expertise. Many large IT-driven data warehousing projects fail, simply because the process is complex. So one would be advised to work with an experienced consultant before you try to do this alone. Many companies are building this expertise internally, but when the problem is big we advise using experts.
I liken this space to building a house or office building. While the tools are all available, projects succeed or fail based on the strength and experience of the architect, general contractor, and trade skills. The same holds true here. You will need someone with architectural data warehousing experience.
Bottom line to all this: the time is ripe for BigData applications (also called HR Analytics or Talent Analytics) to explode in the next few years.
(By the way, if you want to really dive into the BigData market, check out the O'Reilly Strata Conference. Many of the technology and implementation thought leaders appear here, and it's an excellent way to stay up to date on BigData across all areas of business.)
The State of HR Organizations
That all said, most HR teams today are not ready for this evolution. Our research shows that only 6% of HR departments believe they are "excellent" in analytics and more than 60% feel they are poor or behind. Over the next few years we are going to see major investments in this area in all large companies, with huge returns on investment from the effort.
We are just introducing a whole new research subject area on HR Analytics and Measurement and already have many tools, reports, and experience to share. (If you're interested in becoming a Bersin members, you can join our BigData working group.)
Let me share some of the key findings we've already uncovered as companies dive into this market in 2013. Here are three best-practices we've discovered through our dozens of interviews and data collection this year.
1. Start with the problem, not the data.
We are all flooded with data: employee data, location data, social data, compensation data, and much more. If you start an analytics project by collecting all the data you can find, you may never come to an end.
Rather you have to start with the problem: What big decisions would you like to be able to make? What problems would you like to solve?
One common talent problem, for example, may be sales productivity. What factors contribute to a predictable high-performing sales person? Every company would like to understand this better. And once you understand these characteristics, how can you better source, attract, and hire such people? Another may be turnover. What factors contribute to high turnover in your company and in particular groups?
These questions are worth millions of dollars to answer. A company I just met with developed a predictive analytics model for turnover in their restaurants. Did they use Hadoop or parallel databases? Nope, they used Excel. But they had a very smart statistician working with a very senior manager to come up with the hypothesis. And from there they explored all the possible data elements that might contribute to the answer.
Be careful you don't start by only looking at data. It leads to lots of money spent, systems built, and often little or no return.
Over time your analytics platform will grow, and our BigData maturity model describes how to do this. But first focus on one or two key problems, so you can develop the credibility and skills to scale.
2. Data cleaning and building a data dictionary may be 80% of the work.
There is a quote by DJ Patil, the ex-Google data scientist, states in "Data Jujitsu," that 80% of a data science project is cleaning. In our business we clean a LOT of data, and I'd say there is a lot of truth to this. Until the data is clean and well defined, any analysis you do may be misleading.
Most HR data is quite dirty. Fields are filled with incorrect, duplicate, out of date, and inconsistent information. And you'll find one of your biggest challenges is clearly defining what various data elements mean (this is called building the data dictionary).
How do you want to define "turnover" for example? Would you include people who joined less than six months ago? How about part-time employees? What about people who left during the last day of the year?
These types of detailed descriptions can dramatically change what a given analysis might say. So a major part of a talent analytics program is defining the data itself, and bringing together definitions from across your different HR functions.
By the way, our research also shows that building a data dictionary is a cross-discipline project. You will need to access data which may include core HR data (date of hire, age, experience, educational history), recruiting data (pre-hire assessment, interviews), performance data (ratings, job assignments), training data (program completion, certifications, scores), and leadership data (leadership skills and assessments). And in some of the most powerful analyses you will want to access other data (location, manager) as well as business data.
So as DJ Patil points out (and most experienced data analysts know), without clean and integrated data the analysis will may be difficult. While there are many legacy tools which clean up data, ultimately this is a manual people-intensive process.
(This all takes place at Level 2 of our Talent Analytics Maturity Model).
3. HR Analysts do not have to be Computer Scientists.
The venture capital and tech community is very focused on new tools. (Hadoop, Mapreduce, and a barrage of new highly scalable open source tools.) These high-powered tools require people with a computer science degree (often called data scientists). And right now there is a lot of talk about how we don't have enough data scientists in the world.
In the case of HR analytics, you don't have this problem. Most HR analytics projects can be managed in traditional relational databases or Excel. If you have clean and well organized data, the volumes are not that vast. So the skills most companies need are statisticians and well organized analysts. And if you really do need a BigData infrastructure, you can outsource it (and your IT department is already working on it).
As I've told many people over the last few months, you have a big source of analysts in your own industry: people who studied I/O Psychology. Psychologists are trained in statistics, testing, and critical thinking. The I/O Psychologists in our company are so excited about analytics they can't wait to see more data!
And the critical skill these people really need is curiosity.
Great Analysts need Curiosity
One fascinating presentation by Nokia at the Strata conference (Breeding Data Scientists) talks about the fact that one of the most important skills in an analyst is "curiosity." I've seen that in our business as well. Of course you need people who know math and statistics. But then what really makes a great analyst is a curiosity nature to explore and "just look one more time" to see what may be going on.
Fig 2: Nokia's Perspective on Data Skills Needed
This curiosity is what will bring you great decisions and models. And data analysis is always iterative – one question leads to one answer, which in turn leads to the next question. If you don't have that never-ending curiosity to dive deeper and deeper, it doesn't matter how much math you know.
BigData and Analytics will change HR
There is no question that HR will start to really "get" analytics in the coming years. Just as marketing, finance, and supply chain functions now rely heavily on analytics, so will HR.
And our research shows that high-value BigData projects in HR are not "HR Analytics" systems. They are business-driven analysis projects, built on an evolving set of infrastructure which grows over time.
But don't let the tools drive your program. The hardest work and most valuable results come from people: the questions you ask, the people you hire, and the process you use.
If you're working on a fascinating HR analytics project, we would love to hear from you. We will have a series of BigData case studies at our IMPACT conference next April. Read our BigData in HR research to learn more. We look forward to talking with you.

Boldest Fashion From Men's Spring 2014 | Pictures
The Most Outrageous Looks From the Spring 2014 Men's Shows in London
Men's fashion usually moves at a snail's pace, but some of the designers who presented their collections in London over the past few days have proposed a few looks for men that are light-years ahead of the modern preppy feeling that predominates current men's clothes.
Take for example the open-weave, short-sleeved sweaters and shorts that came down the runway at the Sibling show alongside the brand's easy-to-wear denim and knits. Or JW Anderson's lacy halter-top shirts for men (perhaps this season's answer to the scalloped skirts and tops he presented in his men's Fall 2013 collection). And then there are the multicolored pieces at Man — a group presentation consisting of clothing from designers Craig Green, Bobby Abley, and Alan Taylor — that look more like wearable sculptures than anything one might find on the rack at Barneys.
A glimpse of those very experimental looks and more, here in the gallery.

I really don't know anything about thermometers or advertisement signs. I saw this at a flea market and bought it for $60. I don't have any intention of selling it, but I was just curious how much the value is, if it is authentic (I think it is), and what year/era it was from. I've already tried using Google for information, but the only thing that comes up was ebay ads. Thanks in advance for any helpful information!

The countdown begins to the Yorkshire Grand Départ
The route takes in some breathtaking scenery around Yorkshire, including the Spa Town of Harrogate where CTC began in 1878.
CTC Development Officer Ginny Leonard is heavily involved in the legacy strategy and delivery team who have been working on the "Get Yorkshire Cycling" legacy for some months. Ginny had this to say: "Although I am very excited about the event being on my doorstep and actually being a part of it, I am more excited about the opportunities arising in terms of the legacy for CTC and for cycling in the wake of the Grand Départ. CTC are recognised as a core organisation shaping cycling in the region and our involvement is allowing more and more people to learn about how CTC can support them, their clubs and their cycling campaigns".
The Grand Départ will put Yorkshire on the map as a destination capable of hosting world class events in a world class location, providing a springboard to greater things. We are excited, we are proud and we are ready to welcome the world.
Gary Verity of Welcome to Yorkshire
Ginny and the CTC team in Yorkshire will be engaging more with the Member Groups, offering affiliate advice to other cycling groups, membership offers, running events and rides, as well as working on longer term CTC projects and with other key people and groups.
The first stage of the 2014 Tour de France will depart Leeds on the 5 July. Routes for the first two days can be downloaded below and spare a few moments to watch their film.

Rosenbaum, Volstad have strong outings vs. Brewers
PHOENIX -- The Rockies got two strong performances Friday from a pair of pitchers vying to make the rotation when the club opens its season in Milwaukee on April 1.
Rule 5 Draft pick Danny Rosenbaum pitched two innings of one hit ball against the Brewers, keeping a clean 0.00 ERA in his two Cactus League appearances.
"I was just trying to do what they're trying to establish here, just working quick and trying to get ground balls," Rosenbaum said. "I made good pitches, and my curve ball was down."
Four of his six outs were on the ground, and he's feeling good about his progress, working with pitching coach Jim Wright and assistant pitching coach Bo McLaughlin on refining his mechanics.
The big challenge could be if the Rockies see him as a better fit in the bullpen than in the rotation. As a Rule 5 player, the Rockies could lose him for $25,000 to his old club, the Nationals, if he's not on the Opening Day roster.
"I've started my whole career," the 25-year-old left-hander said. "It's going to be different coming out of the 'pen, but I got to [relieve in the instructional league] a couple times. It's pitching, so it's the same game."
Chris Volstad followed Rosenbaum on Friday, pitching three innings and allowing one run on two hits, elevating his spring ERA to 1.80.
"I've been working on pounding the bottom of the zone, especially that sinker," said the 6-foot-8 right-hander. "I felt good with that. I threw good changeups. The curve ball still needed a little bit of work. I'm trying to get a better feel on that. But overall, a good outing. I'll take that."
Volstad has played parts of five seasons in the Majors, four with Florida and last year with the Cubs. He was with the Royals for a month in the offseason before signing a Minor League contract with the Rockies and coming to camp as a non-roster invitee. He sees himself squarely in the fifth-starter mix, easily the most competitive battle the Rockies entertain this spring, with at least a half-dozen viable contenders.
"That's what I need to tell myself, whether it's true or not," Volstad said of his presence in the thick of the competition. "Whether if other people believe it, I don't know, but I'm definitely telling myself that and going out there and trying to prove that."
He has at least one believer where it counts in manager Walt Weiss.
"That's why we brought him in, to compete for that spot," Weiss said of Volstad's standing. "His strength is he's able to sink the ball. He's got to be at the bottom of the zone with that sinker. If he can do that he'll be effective, because he'll get a lot of groundballs. He's got heavy sink."

Associate Professor
Contact InformationEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 519-884-1970 ext.5231
Office Location: FSW-318
Academic BackgroundBA Honours (St. Thomas), MSW (WLU)
Prof. Saulis is a First Nations scholar who holds the honouring of Indigenous knowledge in academic contexts as his most important work. The validation of Indigenous knowledge contained in a corresponding worldview and ceremonial practices is important to both the education and professional development of Aboriginal professionals who are charged by their traditions to keep the Traditional knowledge alive and vital. With this in mind he has been working for many years on the evolution of an Aboriginal Wholistic Traditional Research paradigm and process. He and his colleagues have been using this process in studies of social policy, health related issues, corrections issues, child welfare programs and practices, and restorative justice areas. He has been consulted widely by governments on matters associated with Aboriginal populations, in order to engage in the development of programs and policies which are ultimately respectful of Aboriginal people. He has worked hard on his own Indigenous development by having Elders who teach him Traditional knowledge and processes and who carry out ceremonies to help him be a "good" person, which he then in turn provides to other people. He is a traditional Circle Keeper.

Here's a quick hit of mind-blowing absurdity from Urb Clothing. Undoubtedly there are times when you think "oh man, how fabulous would it be if my legs were melting right now?" Or "I want to give the illusion that there are fluids dripping out of my pants, but like, in a chic way, y'know?"
I think these melting tights are straight up crazy, but crazy in the way that makes me want a pair. $50 for legware that's part creepy, part disgusting, and part trying too hard–I'd say that's a decent enough price for an epic conversation piece.
And check it out in pink–totally looks like dripping ice cream. So, does anyone find these sexy? Or does anyone like the illusion of Gak (wooty wooh, throwback!) coming out of their pants? Seriously, let me know what you think about these, I'm curious.

Topic: Update on my mother
Hello. I wanted to give you an update on my mother, and welcome any advice/comments! My mother was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in Feb of 2012. She started her treatment of chemo gemzar in the last week of march 2012 until the end of august 2012. She got her CT scan done in the last week Aug 2012. At her follow up with the Dr, he let us know that the gemzar looked to working at shrinking her tumor in the beginning 2 months, then it looks to not work at shrinking it towards the months to follow. He gave us 3 choices and recommended one of them.
The first is to combine gemzar with cisplan. He does not recommend this because my mother is not in her stronger state and he says it takes a lot out of the older patients, leaving them bedridden.
The second choice was to try 5FU, which he recommended. He did tell us that it is an older form, but they do show that it works it some patients to fight this cancer. Side affects were similar to gemzar, with added sore mouth and may cause diarrhea.
The third was to stop treatment all together. For my mother, this was not an option, so it wasn't discussed further! She is a fighter, for sure!
Back in June 2012, she took a trip to Korea to meet with a well known doctor who performed laser surgery to patients with bile duct cancer. After doing tests and scans and also looking her chart, he was unable to do the procedure on her because of her tumor location. Her tumor is located by where all her blood vessels are and all the doctors have said that it's in a bad spot...
After returning, she developed a bloated abdomen, and swollen feet. The Dr prescribed her a diuretic spiiralltic ( sorry for the wrong spelling) and it worked after 2 weeks. But after her meds were finished her salt levels went down, and they said that she will not be given that anymore.
After about two weeks ( which is now) she developed the same bloated abdomen and swollen feet. The dr prescribed lasix of 1/2 pill ( 10 mg). After about 3 days, we saw that she was looking worse, so I contacted the dr and he said to increase the dose to another 1/2 pill. Saturday will be one week of taking the prescription, but no signs of her getting relief. Anyone know how long it usually take for it to work?
Also, tomorrow she is supposed to start her first treatment of 5FU, but she is not sure she can even make it there... Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
