Tufts Hillel Visits Haiti
Posted by Mira Leon in Active Citizenship, Blogs, Photos, Student Experience, Students on June 5, 2013
Swiftly following spring semester's conclusion, fifteen Tufts students traveled to Haiti through a Tufts Hillel and American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) trip. During an eight day trip, students learned about and experienced the lasting effects wrought by the earthquake and hurricane that left Haiti devastated in 2010, as well health and education-related hurdles that have plagued the country's development.
Detailing their visit on Tufts Hillel to Haiti, you can read about the students' amazing efforts and experiences. They were not only able to get down and dirty, helping repair a damaged amphitheater built by the past Haitian president, Jean Aristide, but were also afforded the opportunity to teach English and play with local students, as well as meet with village leaders to discuss ways to further community development and citizens' access to health care.
In between the learning and hard work, the group also got to visit Port-au-Prince, French-inspired art galleries, and take in the breath taking beauty of Haiti's rural areas. One Tufts' blogger writes,
"[We] were captivated by the natural beauty of this country, but were also saddened in a way that the lacking infrastructure and actual government support for tourism in Haiti has caused this native resource to be totally under appreciated by the majority of the world."
Take a look at some pictures from the amazing trip below:
Tufts in Rwanda: 2012 Edition
Posted by Veronica Richter in Active Citizenship, Blogs, International, Students on July 16, 2012
Two years ago, we showed you how students on Tufts Hillel's service trip to Rwanda learned and grew abroad. This year, Tufts Hillel continues their legacy of helping the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village with a new batch of students eager to repair the world. On their own branch of the Tufts Hillel blog, we find the stories of Hannah, Sam, Paige, Nate, Natasha, Arlen, Jessica, Ariana, Katie, Shane, Laura, and Tayo as they embark on their interfaith service trip:
"We all chose to come to Rwanda for different reasons and had different expectations, but we were all excited to be going. Some wanted to see a new country, while some wanted to see a new continent. Others wanted to experience a new culture. I think all of us wanted to learn about what had happened in 1994, and many also wanted the trip to help guide them to their future career choices.I will never forget the moment we stepped off the plane. I'm (Tayo) from Ghana, and when I go home I'm used to being hit with the hot air and the smell that can only mean that I'm finally in the place I love the most. But here I was, in Rwanda, a place I'd never been to, feeling sensations that were almost the same! I (Laura) was entirely unsure of what to expect as I had never been to Africa before. However, we both felt that after feeling the hot air and seeing the bright lights of Kigali—the endless hours of travel had all been worth it. We went through immigration and, after dealing with some luggage issues, hopped on the bus to Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village. The bus ride was surreal. Although it was night time and everybody was exhausted, we were all so excited to be in the country that we had read and watched so much about."
The trip is part of Hillel's Alternative Summer Break program. For more journeys to Rwanda, check out the Tufts in Rwanda student groups from 2011 and 2010.
Tufts Hillel in Morocco
Posted by Kimberly Moniz in Active Citizenship, Blogs, International, Photos, Student Experience, Students on June 13, 2012
Early in June, a group of students from Tufts Hillel packed their bags and headed to Morocco. As part of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the group planned to volunteer and serve while learning about the challenges facing Jewish communities abroad.
Through the JDC: In Service blog, the group has been blogging about their adventures. They've recounted days working with students at a local school, dancing with seniors at a home for the elderly, and helping to restore a Jewish cemetery.
While visiting the school, one of the Tufts bloggers writes:
It was especially meaningful to spend time in the computer class because before the trip we fundraised to buy computer operating systems for the school. We sold popcorn to Tufts students and their parents and raised a total of $650. We presented the check to the director of the school, who was very appreciative to both our group and the JDC for the support.
The group has also managed to fit in some site-seeing, complete with a trip to the Jardin Majorelles garden and touring the only Jewish Museum in the Arab world. See some pictures from their travels below and keep up with the Tufts Hillel team in Morocco here.
Tufts Against Genocide
Posted by Georgy Cohen in Active Citizenship, Blogs, International, School of Arts and Sciences, Student Experience, Students on May 13, 2011
In a recent post on the Tufts Hillel Repairs the World blog, Annie Lobel (A'11) tells of her junior year abroad in Rwanda and Northern Uganda. With a special interest in genocide awareness, education and prevention, Annie became immersed in Rwandan culture. Living with a host family and connecting with people whose lives were profoundly changed by the 1994 genocide, Lobel's experience was life-changing on various levels. She writes about taking action in her own community after such an experience:
Let me tell you – returning to Tufts was not easy. It was a bit isolating even. I knew I had changed but my world at home had not changed very much. What I had thought was a "perfect fit" at home no longer fit as perfectly as I remembered. Reverse culture shock returning to the States was way harder than the culture shock when I first left home. When my peers would ask me "how was abroad?" no one sentence answer was ever satisfying to me. There was so much I wanted to communicate to my friends, peers, and family, and the frustration that no one would even begin to understand where I was coming from was frustrating and disheartening. I did realize that the frustration was not productive unless I turned it into something. People were trying to understand, they just needed guidance. Ever since I returned to Tufts I felt this need to take action, to do something about all of this, to educate my peers and help make them want to learn more, and to help other people understand that this should not happen again – we cannot let it happen again.
It was incredible to return to Tufts and eventually find and connect to like-minded students and to put together the Tufts Against Genocide (TAG) Committee with the incredible support of Tufts Hillel and the inspiration of the Cummings Challenge.

Over New Year's I took a little vacation to the tune of a 10-day Caribbean cruise. This trip gave me the chance to get away from the PPC world for a few days, but it didn't stop me from thinking about PPC.
One stop was in Limon, Costa Rica and I chose to take an excursion into the rainforest. After a harrowing bus drive where I seriously questioned how a full size tour bus can navigate such narrow gravel roads we arrived at the Veragua Rainforest. First we received some education about the diversity represented in the rainforest, including poisonous frogs, sloths, howler monkeys, snakes, butterflies and so much more. Then we took a 10-minute aerial tram ride through the canopy and had a great view of the rainforest.
As you can see the rainforest is thick and no space is unoccupied. Trees grow taller and taller, ever competing for the rarest commodity: sunlight.
PPC Is A Jungle
In our parable, sunlight represents first page placement on search engine results and the quality of that light represents average position. Google does experiment with different numbers of ads on search results pages, but there is a finite amount of "sunlight" at any one time. Therefore, the competition for exposure is fierce.
What really intrigued me as I explored the rainforest was how plants competed for sunlight. There were many different strategies being employed with varied degrees of success. In my next couple posts I will discuss how each of those methods equates to a specific PPC strategy and you can learn what competitive strategy can help you compete in your jungle.

At the south end, potholes in the rutted streets go unfilled for years. In the center, there are long lines of homeless and hungry people at the area's only soup kitchen, while residents of one north-end neighborhood are so fed up they want to join nearby Gardena.
According to street signs put up by the city of Los Angeles, the area is officially Harbor Gateway. But residents call it "The Strip" and complain that this four-block-wide, eight-mile ribbon of Los Angeles is long on need and short on government services.
The city must have the strip of land to remain linked to the Port of Los Angeles and the wealth it brings. But residents and social service providers say little of that money has made its way to the Gateway, an area where police service is so spotty that residents say officers often take twice as long to respond as they do in neighboring cities.
"The need here is overwhelming," the Rev. Dick Haddon, a Methodist minister and United Way spokesman, said recently. "This is a politically neglected area, and nothing's going to change that until . . . the people in power take more ownership of the problems here."

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 13, 2012
Pet owners in San Diego can receive a complimentary routine check-up for one dog or one cat during their first visit to North Park Pet Hospital. The complimentary check-up is North Park Pet Hospital's gift to San Diego's vast community to celebrate Pet Hospital Of North Park's long stance as a committed and friendly Pet Hospital. A coupon is available on the company's website which pet owners can print out and bring along on their first visit or they can just mention the promotion to take advantage of the offer. The free visit coupon is good for one use only.
North Park Pet Hospital is encouraging cat and dog owners in San Diego to have their pets routinely checked at least once a year by a certified veterinarian to ensure their furry family members are in good health. A physical examination will reveal much about the health condition of cats and dogs and will provide an excellent way for veterinarians to find various subclinical or early disease processes which may very well be left undetected.
On a routine check-up, cats and dogs will be thoroughly examined from top to tail. The veterinarian would generally examine the eyes, teeth, gums, skin and lymph nodes of the cat or dog being examined. The body condition will also be checked to see if the pet is either overweight or underweight. Temperature will be taken and the veterinarian will listen to the sounds of the pet's heart, lungs and stomach. Some veterinarians also check blood pressure especially if the cat or dog is already past 8 years old. A vaccination is usually given and a yearly heartworm injection will also be administered if the pet is due for one. Other checks will be performed and the veterinarian will give pet care advice. At Pet Hospital of North Park, ensuring the health of cats and dogs is a top priority. This is the very reason why the trusted San Diego veterinarian is offering a free check-up for new visitors.
"San Diego is a city of pet lovers, with cats and dogs being the most favored of all pets," said Dr. Osawa, a San Diego veterinarian and the owner of North Park Pet Hospital. "We want to ensure that all cats and dogs in our wonderful city get the health care they need. Nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing a dog or a cat in a poor state of health".
North Park Pet Hospital in San Diego opened in May 2004. The company was started by Dr Osawa, who is a 3rd generation veterinarian. In 2009, Dr. Waltz came aboard as a part-time associate. The two San Diego veterinarians along with their staff are strongly passionate about ensuring the well-being of cats and dogs. "We want to give your cats and dogs, the best life they can have. We treat every cat and dog that comes to our doors as our own family," said Dr. Osawa. "We'd love to see your cats and dogs and check their health condition. If it's your first time to have your cat or dog checked here at North Park Hospital, we won't charge you!"
About North Park Pet Hospital

Resume writing is a challenge for people who are not familiar with the ins and outs of resumes. Thankfully, you do not have to be a resume writing expert in order to write a standout, professional-looking resume. You can use this branch manager in Tennessee resume sample to learn about common resume writing mistakes and how you can avoid them on your own resume. ? Make a sales pitch ? Your entire resume is a sales pitch to convince the hiring manager that you are the right person for the position. All of the information you include in the resume should be tailored towards this point. Experts suggest that you think of the summary section as a short sales pitch that covers your experience, skills and personality traits in four to six sentences. Looking at the sample resume, the applicant should have given more focus to accomplishments made in the past in order to show the hiring manager what could be expected in the future. As you write your own resume, try to really promote yourself in the summary section because that is where the hiring manager will get a first impression of you. ? Think about verbs ? Because the entire resume is a sales pitch, you have to really think about the verbs that you use. Experts suggest that you avoid repeating the same verbs over and over again. They also suggest that you use present tense verbs for any positions that you currently hold, but past tense verbs for any positions that you no longer hold. The branch manager in Tennessee resume sample has past tense verbs in the entire experience section. As you write your own resume, try to use verbs that showcase what you do and when you did it. ? Share adequate information ? In order for a hiring manager to think of you as an interesting candidate, they have to have enough information about you. This means that it is up to you to share enough information with them to show that you are truly a worthy professional. Experts suggest that your experience section have five to eight points below each position and that you go back 15 to 20 years. The last two entries in the experience section of the resume sample only have four points, which means that the applicant may not have shared adequate amounts of information. In your experience section, you should show the hiring manager what you did in each position, how you did it and give details about any specific and noteworthy projects that you were involved in. ? Avoid resume gaps ? You have to include dates in your experience section in order to show the hiring manager how much experience you have in each position. However, you do want to avoid making gaps in your resume. One way you can do this is by not including your date of graduation unless you are a recent graduate. The sample graduation date is 1992, but the first experience listed didnt take place until 1998, which makes it seem like there is a gap on the resume. When you write your own resume, do not include your date of graduation unless you recently graduated or it does not create a gap. ? Do not waste space ? Finally, because your resume is one big sales pitch, you have to make sure to use every inch of space wisely. On the branch manager in Tennessee sample resume, the applicant stated, References available upon request. Experts, however, suggest that you forego making this statement because it is assumed and therefore just wastes space rather than provides any new and helpful information. ? Get started today ? Now that you know what it takes to write a professional-looking resume, it is time to get started on your own branch manager resume today. Dont forget that you can use other tools, like QuintCareer's Resume Builder, to ensure that you make a successful sales pitch.

At the end of 2013 HOB
Inc., one of the market leaders in pure software-based remote access
solutions, conducted a survey of more than 200 CIOs and CTOs in the U.S.
The survey quantified the trends and challenges IT decision makers
experience when implementing remote access solutions and revealed that
remote access solutions are still gaining momentum, despite the
associated security risks. The complete results
of the Remote Access survey are now available for download as a free
Increased Flexibility
One key finding of the survey revealed that employees are becoming
increasingly more flexible when using remote access solutions. It is no
surprise that 76 percent of respondent's employees access their
organization's server when they are away from the office. However, 58
percent of employees are using remote access solutions when they are in
the office but while working from other locations within the on-site
work environment. Also, 54 percent of respondents believe that their
employees are using their personal mobile devices to access corporate
servers. Businesses must acknowledge that employees in the mobile
workforce are accessing corporate servers more frequently and
consequently, need to adjust the IT infrastructure to accommodate
employees' preference for flexibility.
Security Concerns
The HOB survey also revealed that, even though most companies are
already using remote access solutions, CIOs and CEOs still have security
concerns. 66 percent of respondents worry that hackers may gain access
to the network during employeeremote access sessions. Moreover, 56
percent are highly concerned with employees accessing the network
through their personal devices, and another 50 percent of CTOs and CIOs
find errors by their own IT team to be among the most troubling remote
access security issues, as these errors leave the network open for
intrusions. These results suggest that companies need to formulate clear
rules for employees accessing corporate servers. Furthermore, they
should only use reliable and highly secure remote access solutions from
trusted companies.
Demand for Remote Access Still Gaining Momentum (News - Alert)
Despite security concerns, remote access solutions are deployed amongst
the majority of businesses and used by employees as well as CTOs and
CIOs. The results of the survey also indicate that the future demand for
remote access solutions will not decrease in years to come. In fact,
more than 72 percent of the respondents anticipate the number of
employees who require remote access will grow. In times of increased
economic espionage the awareness of security issues has risen, which
translates into positive effects for IT investment planning. 46 percent
of technology professionals surveyed expect IT security spending to
increase 1 - 25 percent in 2014 and 31 percent expect it to increase by
more than 25 percent. Interestingly, 20 percent of respondents believe
that IT security spending will remain flat in 2014, while only 3 percent
suggest that it will decrease.
"HOB Inc. strives to provide companies and their employees with highly
secure remote access solutions. The security
suite HOB RD VPN empowers users with the encrypted access to company
resources - anytime, anywhere and from almost any device," says Klaus
Brandstätter, CEO HOB. "HOB RD VPN was just recently certified by the
German Federal Office for Information Security according to Common
Criteria EAL4 + standards, which verifies its high security level. Thus,
with HOB RD VPN, the security concerns of survey respondents can easily
be mitigated," explains Klaus Brandstaetter, CEO of HOB.
The complete statistics and results of the HOB survey are now available
as a free ebook. "The

In my life I have collected many things. When I was younger I collected pencils and stickers mostly.
But my two most lasting collections are books and postcards. I have always been a book-lover, that goes without saying.
When I was 12 my parents took me on a trip across Canada to visit a childhood friend on the other side of the country, and we came back through the States. I bought a postcard in each province and state we were in, and that's how I started my collection.
I always said I would have a room papered with postcards, full of books. And now I finally have it...my dream library!
close-up of the art postcards
close-up of Canadian postcards. I've been to every province but Newfoundland, the Yukon, Nunavut, and NWT.
close-up of places in other countries I've been. I've also been to Mexico and some other states but I didn't start collecting postcards until I was 12.
places I haven't been yet...all in Europe. I am only now seeing how crooked some of these are.
They need straightening up.
more Europe postcards
and these are the stacks of ones I couldn't fit. I may put some more up but I'm not sure yet.
I'd like to leave room for all the places I haven't been yet...

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks swapped goaltenders with Tampa Bay on Thursday, acquiring Dan Ellis from Tampa Bay in exchange for Curtis McElhinney.
"We are excited to acquire a goaltender of Dan's caliber, someone we feel can help us immediately," said Ducks executive vice president and general manager Bob Murray. "He has experience playing in big games down the stretch."
In 31 games this season, the 30-year-old Ellis posted a record of 13-7-6 with a 2.93 goals-against average and .889 save percentage.
Over 142 career contests, Ellis is 63-49-14 with a 2.71 GAA and .907 save percentage with Dallas, Nashville and the Lightning.
The 27-year-old McElhinney appeared in 21 games with the Ducks this season and went 6-9-1 while registering a 3.43 GAA and .890 save percentage.
This was the second time in as many years that McElhinney has been dealt. In March of 2010, Calgary sent him to the Ducks.

1560Important bio/EMF marker
Expand Messages
- Jan 1, 2003http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php
Another HUGE HUGE HUGE bio marker that allowed me to rougly predict,
as you recall, the first storm of the TS this year and the wet
conditions for Florida--using very CRUDE data. This data indicates a
forcing so powerful that other models powered by our most extreme
super computers cannot hang with the predictive ability for it to
work. It is like predicting dew in someone's front lawn--10 years
from now--based on the fact you planted a tree there and underneath
where the tree will grow is where you predict the dew.
The Black Algae is on the WEST coast of Florida. So we have a similar
situtation as last year--just a little further north--so watch how
that difference changes Doran wave patterns compared to last year.
This clearly means that there is less chance of an early W. GOM storm-
-an Allison and more chance of an early E. GOM storm -- which is also
consistant with the fair weather GOC and the dipole conditions from
GOC to GOM from a large scale regional standpoint. Last year that
meant a number of ULL features where the ULL regressed from the GOM
toward and through Texas before rising north, bringing very heavy
rains and severe to Florida during the early TS season.
There is NO QUESTION this is a CURRENT situation. IOW it is impacting
weather/climate right now. The strike activity on Monday over the GOM
and Mississippi delta was some of the strongest I have seen all YEAR!
This causes thermals that pull down surface winds from the north and
bring fronts to Florida. IOW, the upper level infra red values
increase so much that air rises, creates surface lows, and that draws
south cold air masses--which run to Florida this time of year. It
clearly increases the risks of severe weather.
Given warm SSTs in the tropical central Pacific, and the 800 level
CME we had early this week, and an SOI that went POSITIVE for today
(8) from a negative value, bringing induction for cirrus in the
tropical Pacific, it is no wonder such a storm commenced in the GOM.

Road accidents in Yangon Region soared by 38 per cent last year over 2012 due to mainly reckless driving and traffic-clogged streets, say police.
There were 2,979 road accidents reported in Yangon Region during 2013, 800 more than the previous year, Police Captain Zaw Myo Tun of the traffic squad told Mizzima on January 5.
Police said 506 people died in road accidents in the region last year, 31 more than 2012, when there were 475 fatalities, a 6.5 per cent increase. More than 4,400 people were injured.
"These accidents happened because of speeding and reckless driving, especially at night," said Captain Zaw Myo Tun, adding that of the 2,143 accidents reported in the Yangon municipal area, 1,214 occurred after dark. "Many accidents are due to a lack of streetlights," he said.
Accidents in the municipal area – which at 599 square kilometres is about half the size of Yangon Region – claimed 325 lives and left 2,946 people injured.
Reports say that Myanmar saw an influx of some 200,000 imported vehicles last year. Most of the imported cars are in Yangon, where the number of vehicles has ballooned from about 100,000 to over 300,000.
"The city is becoming crowded with traffic," said a Yangon fire truck driver with 30 years' experience who did not want his name used because he did not have permission to speak to the media.
"The new road infrastructure is still not enough. Accidents mainly take place because of recklessness, pedestrians who carelessly cross the roads and road racing."
The lack of streetlights might be a reason why most accidents were reported outside the downtown area, in such townships as Hlaing Tharyar, Mingalardon, Insein, Mayangone and Hlaing.

Hi, bit of a newbie to all this and need some help.
My kids had a ds lite with an R4 card which works great. For xmas they got a dsi each and the R4 cards don't work in them, it just comes up with no game inserted.
The R4 card has the _DS_MENU file on it and _DS_MSHL.NDS.
Is there an update to put on the R4 card to make it work? Or do they need new cards? Any help is much appreciated.

The annual Rock the Walk 3K was held Saturday, July 12, at Sulsburger Stadium at Zanesville High School.
Rock the Walk is an event that is hosted by Brain Song, an organization that supports those who have suffered from a traumatic brain injury . Founder, Micah Jones, said that Saturday's event was something special.
"This event is a very special day because we get to reach as many people in the public as we can," said Jones. "We get to educate them on brains and the survivors can meet other survivors that they don't already know and create friendships and it's just a wonderful thing to celebrate. "
The event brought out survivors and community members to learn more about brain injuries. It also gave people the chance to walk through an inflatable brain and to hear stories from survivors. Supporter, renee hammers said it was a moving experience.
"And I'd just like to say thank you God, for everything you do," said Hammers. "Thank you for this walk and thank you for the money that was raised for people with traumatic brian injuries. "
Organizers say the 3K was a success. If you are interested in joining the event next year you can find more information at www.brainsong.org

Field Accessories For Digital SLRs; While Perhaps Not Top Priority, These Items Can Really Come In Handy Page 2
Block The Breeze
Top on the list of items to steady up your subject is the "Plamp," made by Wimberley. With a list price of $36.95, this is one of the most versatile accessories to have, particularly for those wishing to photograph wildflowers in all weather conditions. Simple in design, it attaches to your tripod with a hefty, all-plastic clamp. From there, the flexible arm extends out to a smaller lightweight clamp, which allows you to mount a wind blocker, or even a shadow maker, to make great close-ups when there's a light breeze or harsh lighting conditions.
Close-Up Lens Gear
Canon offers a close-up lens that mounts on the front of your longer lenses. It allows you to use, for example, your 70-200mm lens with the larger 77mm filter ring with a close focusing distance of around 20". This sure helps lighten your trekking load by eliminating the need for a separate macro lens. The model number is 500D and the current street price is around $140.
Instant Overcast
You might want to consider the Cloud Dome for the diffusion of small objects in sunny or otherwise harsh lighting conditions. It's easy to set up and carry. I use it for both product and nature photography and don't even have to worry about the white balance. That's easy--cloudy of course! Retail price is quoted at $179.95 with a universal bracket.
Filter Factors
Filters are an important part of any foray, and when I want to reduce the brightness of ambient light for special effects I reach for my Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter. This filter can effectively control density up to 10 full exposure stops without any change in color density or sharpness. It also can be used to position your flash units closer for macro photographs without the fear of overexposure, be employed for selective focus in bright light, or to enhance the motion of fast-moving subjects, like a stream in the woods. Sure, it's expensive at $340, but I never leave home without it.

I have some great artist interviews coming up for CHIRP. Listen to my show tonight at 8:45 to hear my discussion with Bowerbirds, and stay tuned in in the weeks to come for my interviews with Serengeti, Dr Dog, and Star Slinger.
I'm going to take this moment to post a couple other podcasts I did for CHIRP, including what might be the most enjoyable audio interview I've ever had the pleasure of conducting. Nick Zammuto is one of my all-time favorite artists, and he was kind enough to give CHIRP an exclusive interview about the death of The Books and birth of his Zammuto project. Download these and listen whenever, however. Podcasts are cool like that:

TIRED OF LOUD commercials? Call the FCC. See if you can get them to do anything. When the government is involved, lots of luck.
I CALLED THE FCC number you ran in your paper to make a complaint about the loud commercials. They said there was a loud-commercial law. They said to make a complaint you have to get a form, list the TV station and channel, the time it ran, the name of the commercial and the name of the show. It's a lot of red tape.
A WOMAN IN church is always coughing and coughing. When she gets a coughing spell like that she should go out of the church and not interrupt the services. She can also spread germs.
I DON'T LIKE this Obamacare. We should not be forced to buy their insurance, and the Supreme Court needs to mind its own business.
IT'S A SHAME that the people of Augusta don't have anyone to vote for in the upcoming election.
KIDS ARE NOT expelled for shooting spitballs. It is for drugs, weapons, assault on a teacher or other students; also for repeated infractions. How many times have these students been on alternative schools? They don't care. I for one do not want my tax dollars to pay for a bus. We already paid for a bus to take them to school and it did no good.
RAVE TO THE Chronicle for publishing a TV Weekly. I'd like it even better to get it each week rather than just when sporting events are on.
MINIMUM WAGE HAS always been an entry level rate of pay. If a person does a good job, is on time, doesn't call in, has a good attitude, gets more experience or education in the tasks of the job, becomes more valuable to an employer, raises in pay and benefits are the reward. If a person does not want to work for minimum wage, he should get more education in a career path that will pay him more than minimum. People should grow up and take some responsibility for making improvements in their own lives.
AFTER READING THE March 16 City Ink, I tried to digest what I was reading, but if Sylvia Cooper was quoting what she actually heard from the four of the five announced mayoral hopefuls, Augusta, we have a problem. State Sen. Hardie Davis, absent because of the Legislature being in session, may be our only hope. I have met him … he is educated and can string a few sentences together that make sense.

OCZ Vertex 3.20 240GB Full Review - Vertex 3 Pushes 20nm Flash
HDTune 5
HDTune tests a similar level of features as compared with HDTach, but with a different access pattern. Thus provides us with an additional set of benchmark numbers to compare between storage configurations. Here we can get the minimum, maximum and average transfer rates as well as the burst rates and access times. CPU utilization has proven negligible with modern processing horsepower, and is no longer included.
HDTune's burst test gives inconsistent results. Posted here for information only.
The Vertex 3.20 easily saturates the SATA 6Gb/sec link - just like all other modern SSDs.
Very thorough review Allyn. The move to try out the new flash size using sandforce instead of Indilinx perplexed me at first, but then I thought that they would probably want to experiment the hardware change with a tried and true firmware.
looks great nice work Allyn! Though you should really include more 500+ gb units in your reviews for completeness :D
Thanks! We usually try to cover ranges, but the 3.20 is not available in a >240GB capacity.
I am still using my OCZ Vertex 3 SSD with no problems. Vertex 3.20 does not deserve that Vertex name. Come on, OCZ, you need to do better SSD Vertex SSD products.
Hey Allyn,
What components make up the overhead that prevents SSD's from reaching the max 6gbps bus speed? Is it all scsi frame overhead or are there other limiting factors?

Dry Creek Swamp Preserve
While many of the natural communities dependent upon Georgia's once-dominant longleaf pine forests have vanished, some resilient plants have managed to hang on despite the loss of habitat. The Nature Conservancy's 20-acre Dry Creek Swamp Preserve in Worth County, Georgia, protects just such a gem, the rare Cooley meadowrue.
Although small, the preserve is a cornerstone of the surrounding Worth/Colquitt Counties ecological site, which spans 270,000 acres and contains some of the last remaining longleaf pine stands in Georgia. The preserve also contains a beautiful cypress-gum swamp, where the land slowly rises as the vegetation changes to hardwood bottomlands.
The Conservancy is working hard to determine best practices for saving the Cooley meadowrue—found in only six other locations in Georgia—as well as other ecologically significant species on the preserve.
But despite man's best intentions, nature is always unpredictable. A devastating tornado that swept through the preserve in the spring of 2007 left a large portion of the property badly degraded. While Dry Creek Swamp would benefit from a careful program of prescribed fire, the preserve's small size and proximity to busy roads make controlled burns difficult.
Regardless, the Conservancy and partners are investing in other land-management tools, including manually reducing wildfire fuel loads, controlling invasive woody species, and stimulating the flowering of native herbaceous vegetation, which together paint a bright future for Dry Creek Swamp Preserve.

PowerPC-based VME64x board packs Ultra-160 SCSI, dual GBit Ethernet
Post a comment
Industrial board vendor Concurrent Technologies (Ann Arbor, Mich.) is broadening its PowerPC-based VME64x product range with the introduction of a line of 6U-sized boards called the VP 742/20x Series.
These single-slot boards are designed around Motorola MPC7455 PowerPC G4 microprocessors. As such, Concurrent's VME bus boards offer processor speed options of 800-MHz or 1-GHz, as well as memory options of up to 1.25-Gbytes of 266-MHz DDR SDRAM (with ECC error correction). All are fan-free.
Lots Of I/O
A VP 742/20x also includes a lot of on-board I/O, as the block diagram (below) attests. Interfaces are available for a PMC site, Ultra-160 SCSI, dual Gigabit Ethernet, graphics, keyboard, and a mouse. The graphics are implemented by an Asiliant Technologies 69030 chip, providing 4-Mbytes of video memory, and supporting screen resolutions up to 1600 x 1200-pixels with up to 16 million colors.
Click for larger block diagram
Targeting applications in military, aerospace, scientific, and telecommunications industries, Concurrent also offers more hardened versions for harsher applications. Its 800-MHz VP 742/201-E, for example, operates across the -25°C to +70°C range. Options are available for conformal coating, too.
Moto's Altivec
As well as low power, the MPC7455 boards also use Motorola's 128-bit so-called AltiVec technology, with 64-kbytes of L1 (Level 1) cache, and 256-kbytes L2 cache. 2-Mbytes of backside L3 cache is also available.
You also get L1 cache locking. It enables specific key performance algorithms or code. An increased number of block address translation registers also enables embedded operating systems to support high-speed mapping of additional large data blocks.
Marvell PCI Bridging
The boards' MPC7455 microprocessors also connect to Marvell Discovery II (MV64360) PCI bridges. This silicon provides dual Gigabit Ethernet channels (they're independent of the PCI buses), two PCI buses, and 2 Mbytes of NVSRAM. It also connects to 64 Mbytes of 32-bit-wide applications flash.
A VP 742/20x also supports a 64-bit 66-MHz PMC site with front panel I/O (rear I/O is available via an optional P0 connector). You also get a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, two asynchronous/synchronous RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial ports, and four 32-bit general-purpose timers. There's also a 32-bit CPU decrementer, and a 64-bit CPU timebase, as well as a realtime calendar/clock.
The system also uses a Tundra Universe II VME interface. An optional P2 or P2/P0 breakout is also available. A JTAG diagnostic port is also included.
Supports Many Operating Systems
A VP 742/20x will also support a range of operating systems. At the moment, Concurrent Technologies supports VxWorks, Linux, and LynxOS. Remote booting over the Ethernet is also possible.

Higher growth through the Blue Ocean Strategy: Implications for economic policy
Higher growth is a key goal of companies, governments, and societies. Economic policies often attempt to attain this goal by targeting companies of certain sizes that operate in specific industries and focus on a specific business activity. This approach to policy making has considerable shortcomings and seems to be less than fully effective in increasing economic growth. We suggest a new approach to policy making that stems directly from the entrepreneurial perspective. This approach examines a successful business strategy framework – the Blue Ocean Strategy – to discover conditions for high growth. We test the propositions on empirical data for two cases of successful high-growth business, namely Slovenian gazelles and Amazon.com. The results reveal a gap between the macro level of economic policy making to achieve higher growth and the micro level of business growth. The findings call for a change in the focus of economic policies on specific size companies, industries, and business activities to intraindustry cooperation, collaboration between companies of different sizes, value innovation, and creation of uncontested markets.

Today, LG officially launched the Optimus Z Android smartphone in the korean market. It will be available with SK Telecom and KT, but pricing of the device is not yet known. In terms of specs, the LG Optimus Z features a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, operates on Android 2.1, 3.5 inch Hyper LCD screen, T-DMB receiver, 5 MPcamera, 2 1350 mAh batteries, and should receive the Android 2.2 upgrade sometime this December.
One cool feature of the Optimus Z is its ability to sync with your PC and you can access phone controls from your computer. If you hook up your smartphone via Bluetooth or the data cable, the phone's interface will be displayed on your PC allowing you to access the Market and other features. Another interesting feature is Drag & Shake, which allows you to share files with other smartphone users by shaking your phone. If this concept sounds familiar, you're probably thinking of the free Android app – Bump. Lastly, the Optimus Z comes pre-loaded with over a 100 apps, which may be welcomed or detested, depending on your opinion of bloatware.
Hopefully LG will launch the Optimus Z in other markets soon, because it's a solid high-end device that many people would like to use.
Full press release is below:
SEOUL, July 29, 2010 – LG Electronics (LG) today announced the Korean launch of its latest smartphone, LG Optimus Z (LG-SU950/KU9500). Offered through local tele-coms providers SK Telecom and KT, Part of LG's Optimus Series, Optimus Z boasts a singular, stylish design and latest version of Google's Android OS.
With the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon at its core, Optimus Z is being launched with Android OS 2.1 with the option to upgrade to Version 2.2 before the end of the year. Advanced multimedia options include 3.5 inch WVGA "Hyper" HD LCD (800 x 480 pixels), Korea-specific T-DMB mobile TV, 5 MP camera, Dolby Mobile and DivX compatibility. Optimus Z comes with two 1,350mAh batteries, good for hours and hours of talking or entertainment. And at only 11.05 mm thin, Optimus Z and its unique "Z- style" design is more angular than previous LG smartphones and its matte-finish metal gives the Optimus Z a solid, durable feel.
In a first for Korean smartphones, the LG Optimus Z offers On Screen Phone function that lets user display their phone interface on the screen of their PC. Using Bluetooth or a data cable, the interface will appear onscreen, letting users manage the phone's vari- ous functions – including applications and e-mail – on the computer. In addition, any documents, images or music files stored on the PC can be easily transferred to Optimus Z using this interface. Furthermore, Drag & Shake allows LG Optimus Z users to share files between smartphones with a simple shake of the handset, while LG Air Sync lets them constantly sync the phone with their PCs or other mobile digital devices.
The LG Optimus Z comes pre-equipped with more than 100 of the most popular appli- cations in Korea, along with 70 more that are not available in the Android Market. Additional applications may be downloaded through SK Telecom's and KT's respective application stores.
Optimus Z is the third device in LG's Optimus Series family to be introduced globally. More Optimus devices are in the pipeline, including the launch of LG's Android tablet in the fourth quarter of 2010.

RIYADH: A Saudi spokesman said late on Saturday that his government has no suspicions about relatives of slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden who were deported from Pakistan last week, breaking an official news blackout over their admission to the kingdom.
"Saudi Arabia acted out of humanitarian considerations… in so far as there are no reports or evidence of any implication in criminal or illegal acts," the official Saudi Press Agency quoted the spokesman as saying.
"At the request of the Bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia, steps were taken to facilitate the return of members of Osama bin Laden's family, who arrived on Thursday night in Jeddah where they were welcomed by their relatives," the spokesman added.
"It is inappropriate to discuss in any way the details of the private life of the Bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia." Earlier on Saturday, a Saudi-owned daily reported that the authorities had allowed Bin Laden's three widows and their children entrance into the kingdom on humanitarian grounds.

I just HAD to blog a little bit about this story!
In my ten years with The Salvation Army, this is the first time I've heard about a fundraiser where folks get together and pay for the opportunity to "pen" cows. Perhaps it's because I'm a city girl, but I think it's a creative and exciting way to raise money to fund the work of the Army.
And, I admit, I love seeing our man in Idaho Falls, Major Sam Southard, decked out in full Salvation Army uniform and cowboy hat, complete with a red Salvation Army hat band. That's just how they do it in Idaho!
Here's how the fund-raiser worked: 25 contestants paid an entry fee to be on a team of three riders. The object was to "cut" specific numbered cows from a herd of ten, and then lead them into a pen while being timed. The team that "penned" the most in the shortest amount of time won!
Our very own Major Sam Southard participated in the event on his beautiful horse, Prince. The Salvation Army was also on hand to serve concessions outside the Broken Bit Arena from their mobile kitchen.
And, the event raised $1,000 to help provide programs and services for needy people in Idaho.

According to the infographic we posted yesterday, the top four edtech companies focusing on digital textbooks have raised close to $240 million last year. And that's just the top four. The market for replacing the paper book with a digital version is growing year over year. I discovered a new infographic that offers some details on the rise of the e-reader. In 2011, 43 percent of Americans age 16 or older read books, articles, and magazines in e-book form.
E-book reading is not just a consumer trend. Though the Kindle, Nook, and iPad were all primarily designed for consumer purposes, a number of edtech companies are embracing these kinds of devices for student uses. You'll see on the graphic that according to one study, 25 percent of e-book readers use it to "learn and gain new information."
On a personal note, I've got to say I was pleased to see the affirmation that printed books are still at the top of the heap. 72 percent of American adults read a printed book last year. Though I'm a huge supporter of the transition to digital books in schools—if for no other reason that backpacks need to get a whole lot lighter—for me personally, the sense of tactile comfort a printed book offers can't be beat.
Check out the infographic and learn about the rise of digital reading:

U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S (AZ-04) questioned former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman at today's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing entitled "The IRS: Targeting Americans for Their Political Beliefs." Rep. Gosar's line of questioning demonstrated a continued pattern of IRS leaks and a long history of inaction by the former IRS Commissioner to investigate.
Rep. Gosar issued following statement: "Getting the truth and demanding accountability from President Obama's IRS should not be too much to ask for. Yet, officials in this administration continue to offer excuses and half-truths for what has developed into a disturbing trend. Tax information about the President's political opponents has been leaked. Americans were targeted for their political beliefs. I will relentlessly pursue the truth and hold those guilty of gross incompetence accountable."

The cost of old age
Fantastic news. More than 10 million people in Britain today will reach their 100th birthday.
Tremendous advances in healthcare and lifestyles have produced dramatic changes in longevity in the past few decades, which is cause for celebration.
However, the financial implications of living longer have still not been adequately factored into our personal financial planning, which could leave too many of us struggling in our later years.
While life expectancy has been soaring, savings rates, investment returns and annuity rates have fallen sharply, meaning lower pensions all round. One in four people will need long-term care costing tens of thousands of pounds, but no money is being set aside for this at all.
New thinking is needed to prepare for a fullfilling older age.
First, rethinking retirement. Longer working lives are inevitable and offer great benefits. As life expectancy keeps rising, there is actually a whole new phase of life ahead of us: 'Bonus Years' of part-time work, instead of suddenly retiring with inadequate incomes at an arbitrary age.
Many people are not 'old' in their sixties nowadays so why are we wasting their valuable skills? With decades of healthy life to come, rethinking retirement will alleviate the pensions crisis and many of us would welcome the chance to keep working, particularly part-time, earning more money to sustain our lifestyles.
But we also need new thinking and planning for care costs. As more of us live longer, many more people will need long-term care. No money has been put aside for this. Our Welfare State was designed in the 1940s, when the idea of millions of people living so long and needing care was almost unthinkable.
Under the current means-tested system the State only covers medical - not long-term care - expenses. Anyone with assets exceeding £23,250, including their house, has to fund all their care costs.
It is almost impossible to insure against this open-ended liability but we urgently need to find fairer ways to fund care going forward to avert another crisis.
The Government's Commission on Care Funding will report In a couple of week's time, perhaps recommending that individuals only have to pay up to a cap of around £50,000 and that the State pays the rest. This should help people plan properly and avert a funding catastrophe.
So, living longer is great news, but financial plans must adapt to new realities. Then we can all truly celebrate the idea that so many of us will live to be 100 - or even 120!

After months of hype and rumours, Apple has finally unveiled its third-generation iPad. But competitors have to fear the iPad 2, and here's why.
Apple unveiled its third-generation tablet, known only as 'iPad', at a San Francisco event last night. But with the most notable feature change a higher-resolution screen, it's also big news that the company dropped the price for the iPad 2. Apple is now selling the 16GB Wi-Fi-only model for just £329 inc VAT, and offering very good value for money in the process. A 16GB Wi-Fi plus 3G model costs £429.
The iPad 2 runs Apple's user-friendly and secure iOS platform on a 1GHz Apple A5 processor, paired with 512MB of RAM. It has a 9.7in (1024x768) multitouch display, 16GB of storage, and 0.7Mp rear- and 0.3Mp front-facing cameras. Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth are supported, while the 597g, 241x186x9mm device is said to offer up to 10 hours of battery life. See iPad vs iPad 2.
The iPad 2 is widely regarded as the tablet other manufacturers wish they had built. It's still winning awards for its design, usability and performance, left, right and centre - only last week we revealed it as the winner of our Best Tablet of 2012 award, and PC Advisor readers also named the iPad 2 Gadget Of The Year. See iPad 2 launch details.
Android has been the main rival to the Apple iPad 2's crown, with particularly fierce competition in the form of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. Few would argue that Android's interface is as fluid and user-friendly as iOS, nor that its wide variety of apps is as secure as those found in the App Store. But even fewer Apple fans would consider passing comment on the company's pricing. See New iPad review.
Indeed, while the 16GB Wi-Fi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 previously matched but is now considerably more expensive than the iPad 2 at £399, plenty of Android tablets are available for less than £200. And they aren't simply the poor man's alternative: they offer the exact same portability and always-on connectedness. Android also offers considerably more in the way of user choice, with a range of screen sizes, designs and other specifications, and none of the locked-down business of the iPad 2.
Of course, with the iPad 2 closing the gap in terms of value, and many more budget buyers now able to afford a taste of Apple, Android may have a real fight on its hands to prevent its market share sliding.
The news comes as yet another blow to the 'Android argument', which had already seen Adobe announce it would be dropping support for Mobile Flash. With Apple refusing to support the standard on its tablet, branding it a battery hog and citing poor compatibility with open web standards and touch interfaces, Flash had previously been seen as a feather in Android's cap.

By any chance can you tie an editor down kicking and screaming to the perpetual story thread, with threats of being forced to play Aliens if they leave it unattended for too long?

Any chance of this happening?
This post makes it clear that the editorial roundtable is horrifically neglected:

Wow, I had no idea about this thread.
I don't think this is a great format for "news" stories (e-mail is better for that, due to its timeliness), but I think there are certainly some interesting ideas for feature pieces.
I'm afraid the ER was a good idea that just never managed to get any traction. I would read it, but I'm not an editor, so I just couldn't offer much to people with story ideas.
Slightly late to this thread, but if the Ars editors are going to ignore/aren't aware of the Editorial Roundtable, it probably shouldn't be listed as a subscription benefit.
Also, someone should update those screenshots.

A probability distribution is a table or an equation
that links each possible value that a
random variable can assume
with its probability of occurrence.
The probability distribution of a
random variable can always be represented by a table.
For example, suppose you flip a coin two times. This simple
exercise can have four possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, and TT.
Now, let the variable X represent the number of heads that result from the
coin flips. The variable X can take on the values 0, 1, or 2; and
X is a discrete random variable.
The table below shows the probabilities associated with each
possible value of X. The probability of getting 0 heads
is 0.25; 1 head, 0.50; and 2 heads, 0.25. Thus, the table is
an example of a probability distribution for a discrete random variable.
Note: Given a probability distribution, you can find
cumulative probabilities. For example,
the probability of getting 1 or fewer heads [ P(X < 1) ] is
P(X = 0) + P(X = 1), which is equal to 0.25 + 0.50 or 0.75.
The probability distribution of a
random variable is represented by an equation,
called the probability density function (pdf).
All probability density functions satisfy the following
The charts below show two continuous probability distributions.
The chart on the left shows a probability density function
described by the equation y = 1 over the range of 0 to 1 and y = 0
The chart on the right shows a probability density function
described by the equation y = 1 - 0.5x over the range of 0 to 2 and y = 0
elsewhere. The area under the curve is equal to 1 for
both charts.
The probability that a continuous random variable falls in the
interval between a and b is equal to the
area under the pdf curve between a and b.
For example, in the first chart above, the shaded area shows
the probability that the random variable X will
fall between 0.6 and 1.0. That probability is 0.40.
And in the second chart, the shaded area shows
the probability of falling between 1.0 and 2.0.
That probability is 0.25.
Note: With a continuous distribution, there are an infinite
number of values between any two data points. As a result,
the probability that a continuous random variable will assume a
particular value is always zero. For example, in both of the above
charts, the probability that variable X will equal exactly
0.4 is zero.
Problem 1
The number of adults living in homes on a randomly selected
city block is described by the following probability
What is the probability that 4 or more adults reside at a
randomly selected home?
The correct answer is A. The sum of all the probabilities is equal
to 1. Therefore, the probability that four or more adults
reside in a home is equal to 1 - (0.25 + 0.50 + 0.15) or 0.10.
