Recently I asked if it still made sense to buy a GPS, what with smartphones more than capable of navigating folks from point A to point B.
Many readers commented that, yep, their phone gets the job done. Of course, there's one small challenge to using it for this purpose: smartphones don't come with car mounts. You need a way to position it at eye level so you can see your maps.
There are countless universal-mount options out there, many of which use suction cups to adhere to your windshield and gooseneck arms to hold the phone. Not a fan.
In my experience, those mounts bounce around like crazy, and adjusting them frequently causes the suction cup to pop loose. That's why I prefer a dashboard mount.
Like this one: Meritline has the Arkon MG178 Sticky Dash Mount for $12.95 shipped. That's after applying coupon code MLC504CN at checkout. (Note: this code expires after a certain number of uses, and there's no way to tell when that number gets hit. As of this writing, it was still valid. But even if you miss out, the regular price of $15.95 is still attractive, and still lower than you'll find elsewhere.)
As you can see in the promo video below, the MG178 is a universal mount that should accommodate most smartphones, even those in cases.
It adheres to your dashboard using a sticky adhesive that Arkon promises will leave behind no residue. (Gotta love what scientists have managed to accomplish with glue. Go science!) The only catch is that you need a reasonably flat section of dashboard for the mount to adhere to.
Couple things I particularly like about this mount: there's no gooseneck arm, so your phone shouldn't wobble in the slightest, and the holder can rotate 360 degrees, making it easy to switch your phone between landscape and portrait view.
Obviously a mount like this is a boon for GPS activity, but it's also great for keeping your phone at eye level for other purposes, like quickly glancing at caller ID when a call comes in, or interacting with Car Mode in an app like TuneIn Radio. (That said, whenever possible, please let a passenger do the heavy lifting -- er, tapping -- when you're behind the wheel.)
Like I said, there are countless universal mounts out there. If you've found one you like better, be sure to talk it up in the comments.
Bonus deal: Hoping to use your iPad as your mobile workstation? You'll definitely want a physical keyboard. While supplies last, IceMonkey has a Bluetooth Keyboard Case for iPad 2 and 3 for $24.99 shipped. This folio-style case doubles as a stand and includes a padded wrist-rest. I've seen similar iPad keyboards selling for twice the price.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Doctors say famed Puerto Rican boxer Hector 'Macho' Camacho is clinically "brain dead" after being shot in the face.
Dr. Ernesto Torres said at a news conference Thursday that doctors are still performing tests on Camacho before meeting with his family. Torres had said late Wednesday that Camacho was showing irregular and intermittent brain activity.
The 50-year-old Camacho was shot as he and a friend sat in a Ford Mustang parked outside a bar Tuesday night. Police spokesman Alex Diaz has said officers found nine small bags of cocaine in the friend's pocket, and a 10th bag open inside the car.
Camacho was considered a volatile but skilled and popular boxer who battled drugs, alcohol and other problems. He had a career record of 79-6-3.

According to the latest market report "Drip Irrigation Systems Market -By Type (Porous Soaker Hose Systems, Emitter Drip System, Others) By Crop Type (Cereals & Grains, Fruits & Vegetables, Turf & Ornamentals, Landscape, Others) BY Components (Emitters, Pressure Gauge, Others) -Forecast (2016-2021)", published by IndustryARC, estimates greenhouse effects will automatically drive the growth of drip irrigation system over the conceivable period.

Drip irrigation system is an agriculturalists system of providing moisture around the roots of plants by letting the water, providing moisture around the roots of the plants by letting water to prickle into the soil.
This process is at the most valuable technique for the farmers that have to be sure how much water a particular crop needs periodically. It is also important to regularly inspect the garden to confirm that all the containers have sufficient water. The increasing pressure on water conservation, the agriculture systems have been highlighting the need for micro irrigation systems. The main motive behind implementing drip system technique leads to avoidance of water wastage and protects against scarcity conditions.
Scope & Regional Forecast of the Drip Irrigation Systems Market
Water management has been gaining lots of prominence in the fields of farming, due to climatic conditions and growing need for more sustainable crop production. Irrigation is practiced in situations where rainfall is scarce and therefore the farmers must be sure there is no better alternative of water to support drip irrigation. In drip line irrigation the water is delivering much more quickly than the landscape can absorb it, causing runoff that waste water and carries away precious topsoil.
A good way to prevent overwhelming is to install rain or soil moisture sensor a new technological advancement to override your automatic water time system when necessary. Rain senor was the first technology innovation done in order to reduce farmer's efforts in growing crops. In this technology once a designated amount of water has been detected, it shuts down and regularly scheduled irrigation. These were a small, simple kind of devices and are generally very less expensive. But the markets came up with a new technology called soil moisture senor which is more accurate and detect the moisture level of the root system. This technology is more adequate with the drip irrigation systems market.
Drip irrigation system design also enables the farmers for irrigation controller to spread over chemical fertilizers by mixing them with the water. Asia-Pacific is the leading continent for drip irrigation systems with China likely to come amongst all the countries and gain the maximum number of shares due to the adoption of advanced agriculture practices and technologies. The market is further followed by Europe, North America and Rest of the World.

Interviewed by Andy Hirsch
LEWISBURG, Pa. — With the election just days away, Amy Wolaver, associate professor of economics, analyzes the debate over Medicare, health care costs and the $716 billion figure that keeps popping up.
Question: Does President Obama want to "cut" $716 billion from Medicare?
Answer: During the debates we heard a lot about that "$716 billion" figure. The Romney campaign claims President Obama wants to cut $716 billion from Medicare, which doesn't correspond to a cut in benefits. You have to put that number in context.
What we have now with Medicare is known as a defined benefit plan. Everybody is covered for a certain level of defined health care expenses. The current system includes extra payments to hospitals that provide more of what we call "uncompensated care." In other words, if you show up at the hospital and are treated, but you're uninsured, then the hospital has used resources that it's never going to collect revenues for. To make up for these revenue shortfalls, the government compensates hospitals that have high uncompensated care loads through a Medicare funding stream. But if health care reform holds and everyone is insured, those extra payments for uncompensated care won't be necessary because hospitals will be collecting reimbursements directly from the insurers. We won't need to spend that portion of the $716 billion anymore.
In addition, some Medicare eligible citizens opt out of the traditional Medicare structure into private plans, called Medicare Advantage; the private plans receive a premium payment from the government for this coverage. Many analyses have shown that the people who opt into Medicare Advantage plans are healthier, and therefore less costly, to the insurers than the average Medicare patient, but the premiums we've paid out do not account for that difference. These private insurers were essentially getting a substantial transfer payment from the federal government; those extra payments are being lowered under the Affordable Care Act, which is also part of that $716 billion figure.
Q: How does Governor Romney's plan differ?
A: An alternative version of Medicare, which has been proposed by Representative Ryan, would change the structure to a fixed amount of money, a certain level of support, and then individuals will go out into the market and purchase health insurance on their own. It's called defined contributions — the government is going to have a defined amount to contribute to everyone's care. Just as Republicans attack Obama's model by referring to it as a "cut" in Medicare, Democrats call the Romney/Ryan model a "voucher" system, which is a scare word for a lot of people. The basic idea is that individuals could buy a policy that costs less than that defined amount, and may receive a rebate check, but if you want more generous policies, you pick up the extra costs. The theoretical idea is that competition in the insurance industry will be encouraged and this mechanism will keep health care cost inflation under control.
The question to ask is, will the private market compete in terms of providing good, quality insurance while somehow lowering the cost of providing the care? Or will the competition come in the form of insurers trying to select the healthier, lower cost consumers. If that happens, folks who have illnesses, pre-existing conditions, chronic health conditions — they're going to be disadvantaged in that market. They're going to get a defined contribution, but their costs and therefore premiums will be more expensive than the fixed contribution, which could be problematic for access.
The Ryan plan tries to deal with this problem through risk adjustment. Basically, if one insurer has mainly healthy beneficiaries with low costs, and another insurer has mainly beneficiaries with higher costs, the Ryan plan takes money away from the first insurer and gives it to the second. You need this type of risk adjustment to get the market to focus on providing lower cost coverage rather than just competing on getting better consumers, healthier patients in their pool. But, that kind of risk adjustment is very complicated. If you're really going to do it well, you'll need to add to government bureaucracy to manage it.
Q: What else needs to be done to address the financial problems with Medicare?
A: We've been discussing the insurance side of the issue, the financing side. But to get these expenditures under control you have to focus on the health care market itself. The underlying issue is providers know more about medical care than the patients do. So we have a market where the supplier of the product is telling us, the consumers, what to demand. The debate between the two sides is, basically, do we have this defined contribution approach to try to encourage consumers to have more say in the market, and try to cut down on actual spending and health care use? Or do we have additional mechanisms that we build in through the power of the government as a major purchaser of health care, and use that power to try to change physician and provider behaviors to encourage quality care with the least cost possible?
Like most policy debates, we're making our best educated guesses on what will work. But both sides realize that costs for Medicare, and the health care market overall, are issues that need to be addressed. We spend more per capita in the U.S. than any other country with little perceived or measurable added health benefits, and that's the real problem.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) – Sometimes, expectations can create all sorts of problems, even for the top-ranked player in women's golf.
Yani Tseng knows from experience.
With five majors already won and having captured the LPGA Tour Player of the Year award for the second straight year, wrapping it up with four events still on the 2011 calendar, Tseng went into the offseason somewhat awestruck at what she'd accomplished in such a short time and what the future might hold.
"At the beginning of this year, I was putting so much pressure (on myself), the most pressure I've ever had in my whole life,'' said Tseng, who turned pro in 2007 and joined the tour full-time the next year. "In January, I would just stay home. I wouldn't go out. It was no fun.''
It didn't take long for that to change. After celebrating her 23rd birthday in late January, the Taiwanese star won Thailand for the second straight time and has remained atop the world rankings, a near cinch to win player of the year again.
`'I don't feel as much pressure (now), but the people around me, they say … I'm getting picky, I want to try to be perfect all the time,'' Tseng said. "But that's not me. The more relaxed I am, the better I play. The week of Thailand, the second week, I kind of calmed down a little bit. That week … was huge for me. After Thailand, I know that I can still keep the momentum going. At the beginning of this year, I was afraid. I didn't know if I could do it again.''
Not much to worry about. Tseng won three of the first five events on the 2012 LPGA Tour, leads the player of the year rankings by a wide margin over Sun Young Yoo and Stacy Lewis, and enters this week's LPGA Championship at Locust Hill Country Club as the defending champion.
"I didn't expect this. When I win the first (major), I never thought I'm going to win a second major,'' said Tseng, who finished third in the first major this year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, just one shot out of a playoff. "I never thought about winning five. I never think about it, but now I'm thinking I can win more, of course.''
Tseng's meteoric rise has made her the latest face of women's golf, and she has embraced the demands that go with it.
"She's been accessible, available, and the ambassador at every turn,'' said Kraig Kann, chief communications officer of the LPGA Tour. "Every opportunity we've given her that we feel like is one that she needs to do, she's done. You can't do everything, but I am so impressed with how she carries herself. She's not afraid, she's not intimidated. Is she perfect at English? No, but most people would have no idea how great at it she really is.
"She's not afraid to communicate the message. She understands that if she's going to be No. 1 in the world, she needs to be that face out front. She needs to be engaging with the fans. She doesn't shy away from anything.''
And that's why the fans who swarm to Locust Hill every year treat her as one of their own. Tseng ran away with last year's LPGA Championship, winning by 10 shots over Morgan Pressel and Cindy LaCrosse.
"Last year when I walked on the 18th hole – I'm pretty emotional – the crowd was amazing,'' Tseng said. "Everybody stand up and clapped for me. I was like, I don't know for what because I'm not American.''
That victory made Tseng the youngest female golfer in history – 22 years, 4 months and 18 days – to win four major titles. Winning here again will be a challenge if she continues to falter as she has in her last two tournaments. In the Sybase Match Play Championship, she was knocked out in the round of 16, and last week finished tied for 12th at the ShopRite LPGA Classic won by Lewis.
Tseng tees off on Thursday's opening round in a threesome with Lewis, who has won two of her last three starts, and Paula Creamer.
This tournament marks the beginning of a new LPGA effort in social media. Caddies will be sporting bibs with Twitter handles on their backs. Kann says 113 LPGA players have Twitter accounts, including (at)YaniTseng.
The LPGA Championship has been sponsored by Wegmans Food Markets the past three years. The contract is up after this year, but both sides plan to sit down after the tournament to work on a new deal.
"It's got such great history with the LPGA and the Wegman family,'' said Cristie Kerr, who won the 2010 LPGA Championship by a record 12 shots. "If they end up moving it around, then, you know, it's really a no-lose situation. It's a great golf town for us and obviously great sponsor, so whatever they want to do, we'll do.''

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - It took a complete team effort for the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team to get past Belmont on Saturday, and the Golden Eagles (5-4, 1-0 OVC) will need an equally balanced effort on Wednesday when they look to extend their winning streak to five games at St. Louis.
That will be no easy task against the Billikens (4-7, 0-0 Atlantic 10) who will enter the contest three games below .500 after playing a challenging preconference schedule - much like the Golden Eagles. St. Louis has fallen to the likes of Missouri State, Loyola Marymount, Indiana and Creighton, but the Billikens also have a trio of impressive wins against Oakland, Arkansas State and Montana.
Both the Golden Eagles and St. Louis have played Southern Illinois so far this season. Tech defeated SIU, 59-56, at Eblen Center, while St. Louis handed the Salukis a 71-45 loss to start the 2009-10 season.
The Golden Eagles will be at a significant height disadvantage on Wednesday as six Billikens stand 6-foot or taller, with 6-foot-4 Amanda Kemezys heading that group. Kemezys recently earned Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honors after averaging 20.0 points and 11.5 rebounds in a pair of games last week.
However, Tech finds itself in a very familiar position as the Golden Eagles have been the undersized team in virtually every game this season. With just three players standing at exactly 6-foot, the Golden Eagles have utilized their quickness and athleticism to make up for their lack of inches. Never was that more evident than in Saturday's victory over Belmont, when Tiara Hopper battled her way to a career night that earned her OVC Freshman of the Week honors.
Hopper, a 5-foot-11 forward, was matched up against Belmont's 6-foot-4 center for most of the evening but was unfazed as she scored a career-high 14 points and tied her personal best with 10 rebounds in 36 minutes of action.
Along with the play down low, another key to the game against the Billikens could be bench production. The Golden Eagle reserves have significantly out-played their counterparts in the last two games, holding a 20-5 scoring advantage against Southern Illinois and out-scoring Belmont's bench, 37-7. Hopper and sophomore Rachel Glidden have been sparkplugs off head coach Sytia Messer's bench, especially of late. Glidden is averaging 13.0 points per game over her last three contests and ranks sixth in the OVC in 3-pointers made per game.
Wednesday's contest will mark the first-ever match-up between Tech and St. Louis and just the fourth time that the Golden Eagles have played a team from the Atlantic 10 Conference. Tech won two of the previous three games against the A10, most recently during the 1989-90 season when the Golden Eagles defeated Richmond, 77-59.
Tip-off for Wednesday's game is scheduled for 2 p.m. Golden Eagle fans can following along with live stats, which will be available through www.slubillikens.com.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) – Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele are defending their title in the Franklin Templeton Shootout, and Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter also are back for the first time since winning the team event.
Last year, Bradley and Steele became the first PGA Tour rookies to win the Greg Norman-run tournament, shooting a 13-under 59 in the final-round scramble for a three-stroke victory. Bradley is coming off a second-place finish Sunday in Tiger Woods' World Challenge in California.
Johnson and Poulter won in 2010, then skipped the event last year because of scheduling conflicts.
The 12-team tournament begins Friday at Tiburon — "shark'' in Spanish — with a modified alternate-shot round. The team will play better ball Saturday, and finish with a scramble Sunday.
Norman is teaming with Fredrik Jacobson, and the field also features the teams of Davis Love III-Brandt Snedeker, Bud Cauley-Rickie Fowler, Justin Leonard-Scott Verplank, Jerry Kelly-Steve Stricker, Charles Howell III-Rory Sabbatini, Jason Dufner-Vijay Singh, Mark Calcavecchia-Mike Weir, Stewart Cink-Carl Pettersson and Sean O'Hair-Kenny Perry.

PARIS – Before they face off in Brussels, the leaders of Germany and France are watching their national teams go at it on the soccer field.
French President Francois Hollande greeted German Chancellor Angela Merkel outside the Stade de France on Wednesday before they headed inside to watch the "friendly" — and to set the scene for talks on Europe's contentious budget, the subject of this week's summit.
The first summit to decide how much to spend on everything from agriculture to infrastructure collapsed. Leaders from the 27 European Union countries will try again Thursday to find a compromise.
The casual locale appeared aimed at signaling that the leaders, who don't always see eye-to-eye, are growing closer.

Gothenburg's progressiveness gets noticed
Motel developer tells GIC what attracted him to town.
Gothenburg's reputation as a progressive community preceded Terry Jessen's decision to build a motel at the edge of the city.
"Since 1990, that doesn't go unnoticed," he said in reference to the recruitment of Baldwin Filters that year followed by other business and industry.
Jessen, who along with Diana Unterscher is building a Comfort Suites motel at 315 Platte River Drive, spoke to Gothenburg Improvement Company stockholders at their annual meeting on Nov. 18.
Jessen said he learned in the spring of 2009 that GIC officials wanted a new motel.
He and Unterscher looked at the site on the Internet before traveling to Gothenburg where he said they received a presentation, a tour of the community and were told of the city's active volunteer spirit.
The two then selected the city for the motel they wanted to build.
Jessen said they consider themselves a small part of what's good for Gothenburg.
"The project is not ours—it's Gothenburg's project and needs your support," he said. "The only way you're successful is when you feel a tie to a business and then the whole community benefits."
He said he and Unterscher, who are from Scottsbluff, intend to live in Gothenburg and be part of the community.
Jessen and Unterscher bought three houses in Gothenburg, for themselves and employees who are helping to develop the property.
Jessen said he plans to expand his tax and accounting business in Scottsbluff to Gothenburg.
The developer also owns four other motels in Nebraska but this is the first he's built.
In choosing the kind of motel to construct, Jessen said his favorite was Comfort Suites although they considered Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn.
Work at the site was overwhelming at first, Unterscher said, when they removed three structures from the site, burned rubble and downed trees and moved in "tons of dirt."
Four lots were subdivided in the subdivision known as Terry's Business Park with one for the motel and three others for expansion.
The remaining acres of the park will be for recreation for motel guests and the public, Jessen said.
"I'd like to think the future is here with Interstate 80 located here," he said.
Paulsen Inc. was hired as the general contractor of the project.
Since then, a metal construction office, where Jessen will eventually located his tax business, has been built with a large room for events.
This week, workers are putting in the street, water and sewer and on Monday were pouring footings for the motel.
Jessen said they hope to open Comfort Suites on May 1.
He added that Gothenburg is on the map because of the efforts of GIC members.

Activism and Its Consequences
By Khafre Abif
July 17, 2012
It has been some time since my last blog entry. I must apologize to those of you who have been following me. The last three months have been the most challenging time I have had in years. I have to share with you all that in November 2009 I decided to follow what I believe my God has purposed for my life. That purpose is to use my professional and personal life story to speak, share, write, educate, advocate full time on the battlefield against the pandemic of HIV/AIDS. For me, what that means is devoting all of my time and attention to Cycle for Freedom, public speaking, writing for The.Body.com, as well as attempting to self-publish Cornbread, Fish and Collard Greens: Prayers, Poems & Affirmation for People Living with HIV/AIDS. All of this has come with great personal sacrifice. My employment is my activism and thus far what has been generated I am grateful for, however it has not allowed for personal sustainability.
When asked what is most difficult about social activism, renowned feminist activist Shelby Knox replied, "That activism has consequences." Knox didn't just mean that activism can be the catalyst for social change, but that it has very real, and sometimes serious, personal costs. Knox referred to activism as a privilege -- one that carries the responsibility of including the voices of others. Like social movements of decades past, those who have the privilege to organize must make sure not to silence or ignore the voices of those without that privilege.
As Knox's role in the promotion of comprehensive sex education became more intense and more public, she worried that her activism might reflect poorly on her father and possibly hurt his business. Her parents, for their part, worried that Knox's activism might adversely affect her academically and socially.
Knox's activism, in other words, not only had public consequences, it affected her relationships with her family and her faith. But Knox was fortunate that she maintained the support of her family throughout. That is a blessing that I can't say is true for me. After my MaDear's passing my sister Raquel has become my biggest cheerleader. I love her dearly for how each time we speak, each email she responds to and each prayer I know she prays for me, "I am lifted."
The very existence of personal consequences is the reason activism is a privilege: not everyone has the ability to engage in activism without putting their jobs, families or personal safety at serious risk.
As with the civil rights and women's rights movements of decades past, the privileges and consequences of activism today are not equally spread throughout the population. Poor women, women of color and single mothers are more likely than white women to face prohibitively serious consequences for engaging in activism. Many barriers result from their proportionally higher poverty rates, low job security and work autonomy and small to nonexistent financial safety nets. Yet, these are precisely the groups most often in need of social advocacy and representation.
There is, therefore, a responsibility that accompanies the privilege of activism. Knox argued, "That those who have the financial and social stability to bear the personal consequences of public activism have a responsibility to those who cannot. The responsibility is to those for whom such consequences are too great a burden to overcome -- those for whom activism may cost them their jobs or their families."
In his famous essay titled "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience," nineteenth century American writer Henry David Thoreau urged citizens to "Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence." Nothing less than liberty and democracy were at stake, Thoreau maintained.
However, when citizens follow Thoreau's advice, using their bodies and voices to confront anti-democratic practices and agents of injustice, they often pay a steep price, while their victory is seldom clear or immediate.
That question should be at the heart of my quest to build a sustainable activist career -- actually, it should be at the heart of your quest to build a happy and productive life. In my opinion, it is a question that every human being should give deep thought to throughout her or his life.
Objectively, it is clear from history that even small changes are meaningful.
On a non-objective, more personal level, the answer to the question of whether your sacrifice was worth it depends on the answer to this one: Who are you? I am asking the question even of myself as I also ask, "How to make it through the night." I know that my God is faithful, God would not let me be tested beyond my strength, but with the testing God will provide the way out so that I may be able to endure it. Even while am pressing through this dark night of the soul as the density of the external world presses against me, presses against my very core and all I want to know is how to make it through the night. There have been times in these last six months that I have gone so far as to think that the spiritual path I have been following just isn't working and maybe this thing called God isn't real after all. However, as many other saints will speak to, these experiences will bring you to your knees to reveal the power of God. These tests are the gift to the soul that will allow me to continue to walk toward spiritual liberation.
The significant gains of the civil rights movement were won by people, not processes. Against incredible odds--and often at great risk--the thousands of activists in the modern freedom struggle won victories that touched their own lives as well as those of their neighbors and future generations.
Thus far the price I am paying is silence from family, friends, other who say they are in this fight. The price of often standing alone and pressing forward on the campaign's which are my life, self doubt and the last six months homelessness. I recently exhibited at the two-day Juneteenth Wholistic Health and Natural Hair Expo. I was scheduled to provide a workshop on both days. Not one person came to the workshop either day. As I was returning to the exhibit hall I began to cry. A woman who I met the day before saw and asked what was going on. I shared that I don't know why all the silence. She said to me, that GOD has me covered. She reminded me that what I believe is that every struggle that I am going through is only to give my GOD the glory on the other side of completion. She reminded me of what my MaDear shared with me before she transitioned: "What God has purposed for your life is not about you. It is about those people who will be affected by your story and your work." MaDear believed that things like this don't happen in the natural, but in the supernatural.
The question is this: Will I hold GOD's hand, look the fear of criticism in the eye, continue to step out in faith and live out my God-given purpose for the sake of others and for Christ? The answer is, YES I will.

A new toolbox to optimize nonlinear objective functions by solving combinatorial problems in industrial applications
Anna Bassi & Manolo Venturin, Openeering/Enginsoft
Many industrial applications require the solution of a nonlinear optimization problem that can be reduced to the solution of a combinatorial problem. The developed toolbox optimizes the global efficiency (which is in general a nonlinear function) of a system composed of a certain number of machines of which the individual efficiency curves are known.
Our approach consists in approximating these curves with piecewise linear interpolation functions and in solving the efficiency problem for every configuration given by the combination of linear pieces of the curves approximations, (one piece for each machine). Each subproblem, given by a single configuration, is in general nonlinear, in spite of the linearity of the approximations. We solve the subproblems through an iterative method based on the linear approximation of the objective function. Since many configurations can give the same global efficiency, the solution is not unique. For this reason in the final report we list all the higher efficiency solutions, in order to let the user free to choose the best configuration according to other not modeled aspects.
The toolbox described in this work is completely developed in Scilab [1] and provided by Openeering [2]. Many of its facilities has been exploited, such as guis, file handling functions and the optimization toolbox. The toolbox, is user-friendly, even for inexperienced Scilab users.

A new species of harlequin toad has been found in Chocó, Colombia during a field project supported by the SOS-Save our Species initiative in which IUCN is a partner.
IUCN Member Conservation International leads the project together with its project partner Fundación ProAves who is implementing conservation work on the ground. Protecting and restoring key sites for globally threatened amphibians is the project's main objective.
"To find a new species is incredible - and very important", says project leader Robin Moore of Conservation International, and member of IUCN's Amphibian Specialist Group. "The harlequin toads have been one of the most vulnerable group of amphibians. Out of more than 120 species of harlequin toad, only a handful of species have healthy surviving populations."
The harlequin toads are so-called because their bright colours are reminiscent of the colourful costumes worn by performing harlequins. However, the newly-found species is unusual because it is a deep brown/black colour, with bright red eyes. It is the only harlequin toad with red eyes, and from this characteristic alone, it was obvious that it was a new species.
The SOS grant will be used to protect and manage the toad's habitat, build a resource centre from where forest guards and researchers can be based, and to educate local communities and build local support for conservation.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A student-run New Mexico community college newspaper that was suspended this week after publishing an issue focusing on sex will be allowed to resume publication, school officials announced Wednesday.
Central New Mexico Community College spokesman Brad Moore said the CNM Chronicle has been authorized to continue operations immediately, and the papers will be returned to newsstands.
The Albuquerque school had suspended publication of the CNM Chronicle and suspended the student staff Tuesday, following the issue's release. Administrators said the content, which included articles on sex toys, abstinence, and students' favorite sexual positions, was offensive and inappropriate for the school's mission.
Officials then took issues off distribution racks on a campus of nearly 30,000 students.
In response, the University of New Mexico student newspaper, The Daily Lobo, announced it also would cease publishing "in solidarity" with CNM Chronicle staff and called the CNM Chronicle's suspension censorship.
After student journalists and media advocates crowded a special meeting of the college's publications board Wednesday, officials backed down and said the student staff would be allowed to return to the weekly paper, which is funded by the college.
CNM President Katharine Winograd told students that officials originally pulled the paper from the stands because "a high school student was included in this issue and we needed to check on the legal ramifications of information on a minor in a publication of the college."
Winograd also said the college, which does not have a journalism program, had failed to give students proper resources.
"I believe as a college we have failed to provide the CNM Chronicle with the level of editorial resources and education that it needs and deserves," Winograd said in a statement. "I hope that in today's publication board meeting, the board will discuss ways the college can provide you a better educational experience through your participation with the CNM Chronicle."
CNM Chronicle Editor Jyllian Roach said the sex issue was meant to be educational.
"We know that some people were going to be uncomfortable," Roach said. "But we never expected CNM to do something like this."
She said the high school student mentioned by the president was interviewed for a story about abstinence and the paper got permission from parents.
"We don't feel we did anything wrong," Roach said. "We followed the law and all ethical standards to the best of our ability."
Roach, who is studying sociology, said the ordeal has made her want to pursue journalism as a career even more.

Boulder Film Fest Taps "Chasing Ice," Martin Sheen, William H. Macy
The climate change doc "Chasing Ice" heads home from the Sundance Film Festival to close the 8th Boulder International Film Festival (Feb. 16-19). And it's a fine fit indeed.
Director Jeff Orlowski's debut feature has deep roots in Boulder's burgeoning filmmaking community. The film's protagonist is James Balog. The intrepid nature photographer founded the Extreme Ice Survey — an organization that has been tracking the retreat of a number of glaciers in the northern hemisphere for the past seven years. Front Range stalwarts Paula DuPré Pesmen (producer on "The Cove") and Jerry Aronson (director of "The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg") produced the doc.
"We love that film, we've watched it grow and build over the years," said festival director Robin Beeck, who cofounded the event with sister Kathy. "It's a big score for the Festival. It's one of the most beautiful, amazing films we've come across in years, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate the Colorado filmmakers behind the film, and James Balog's ground-breaking work."
The four-day affair opens with Lawrence Kasdan's "Darling Campanion," starring Diane Keaton as a woman who appears to have a deeper bond to the stray dog she takes in than to her husband, played by Kevin Kline. Kasdan and producer Anthony Bregman will be on hand for a post-screening Q&A.
Last week the festival announced it will be honoring actors William H. Macy and Martin Sheen. Animator Bill Plympton will also be a featured guest.
Fifty films — features, documentaries and shorts — are slated to screen. Tickets at www.biff1.com or by calling 303-786-7030.

Barriers to entry in a market are anything which prevent new firms from emerging and succeeding in that market. Common examples include:
As may be obvious, the concept of Barriers to entry and Economy of scale are very much interrelated, both involved in the creation and continued existence of oligopolies, and is thus a primary factor in Antitrust Legislation.
When investing in a firm just starting, it is important to consider barriers to entry involved in its market. If they are high, the firm may prove to risky for the average investor. However, incumbent firm whose market has high barriers to entry is generally a stable investment, though often one with only small returns.
A sudden lowering of barriers to entry - due to, say, a change in technology - would cause the incumbent firm's stock price to lower, while the upstart firm rises. A raise - perhaps through government regulation - would produce the opposite effect.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Sony Corp, responding to a shareholder's call for it to spin off its entertainment operations, said its entertainment businesses were important to its growth strategy and "are not for sale".
The statement from a Sony spokesman came after hedge fund Third Point went public with a proposal for Sony to sell part of its entertainment division in a public offering to bolster the electronics group's profitability and boost the share price.

Sergio has not received any gifts yet
Hey Sergio, it's me again. On Thursdays, I play with a group of my friends at my apartment complex on Beach and Malvern (Buena Park). A few of us are at the 2.0-2.5 level, but we play mostly doubles, and sometimes singles if everybody else wants a rest. We're not overly competitive, so it's fine if you haven't played in a while. Would you be interested?

I could see the opening punchline of the first sketch coming before it showed up, but that didn't make it any less funny. You'd think Kigu would have more friends with her (exterior) cuteness, but through varying flashbacks and such, it looks like all these girls have are each other. The idea for a specialized swimsuit for each school is genius, yet stupid. All the school swimsuit talk just made me think of this week's (delays happen) Hidamari, and how Yoshinoya exploited the fetish in high resolution. The closing gag with the soap bubbles was inspired - very Looney Toons, and very fluidly animated, too.
I was wondering what was up with the second segment. Musashi-Sakai didn't seem nearly as vibrant as the other locales they've visited, even if they got a lot of mileage out of the restaurant name. Juvenile humor, but it works. Then it became clear - JC Staff's offices. A bit of a KyoAni-ish thing to do, but every studio can play the self-referential game, it just depends on if the material supports it.
The Christmas segment was just inspired. From Marii the red-nosed reindeer to the extra-huge Christmas tree turning into a warzone, it's basically exactly as one would expect a Joshiraku Christmas segment to be like. That it was combined with a commentary on Amazon just made it all the sweeter, if a bit of an unexpected twist. There's very few holidays they haven't skewered by this point.

We have to go deeper! So deep that the building blocks of life itself are before us! Apparently if one goes deep enough, the foundation of the universe is a Sentai series. I had always kind of suspected so. Again, kudos to Saori Goto for making Kukuru sound convincingly crazy. Everything was up to her going mad, and she went right into madness and made a comfortable home there. The discussion on English grammar, wacky facial expressions and almost unnoticeable background gag of a sheep flying into the window also made for something pretty entertaining.
The Roppongi segment was a little more wistful and nostalgic than these trip segments have been. Though I've never been there, it actually hit pretty close to home for me. A land filled with modern art and big business and an exciting nightlife, now not quite what it used to be because of changing economic circumstances? Sounds a lot like Miami, especially the modern art thing. Knowing that TV Asahi is located here is a nice bit of trivia, too. In-universe, Gan's knowledge of Japan's various districts is pretty impressive. Out of universe, since these segments are anime original, it's clear the writers for them did their work - while keeping the show's sense of humor intact, too.
Ninja -> Scary stories -> Blue. Makes sense. The Cool Biz uniforms looked cute on them, but they weren't going to stay that way for long. The part where they were looking at strange lights in the photos reminded me of Slenderman for a second, though it quickly turned into something else. The Marii butt jokes had been tuned down for a while, but making it the final punchline worked great here. Marii just blue herself. I'm going to miss this show, but there's still one more episode left. Plus the OVA in February.

There are just so many things I love about this anime. This episode in particular is favourite of mine especially because of the last sketch. For some reason I loved more than all the last sketches. This particular episode has made me like Teto more because she seems for some reason willing to help out a friend in need or general friendliness case in point episode 5.
As for Saori Goto doing her best manic impression, nothing beats one particular episode in Steins Gate. In here, her character is sort of pitiful and quiet while quite creepy, didn't really lose her cuteness.

I was surprised to see 'Maman', the artwork by Louise Bourgeois, appear as I'd seen that five years ago outside the Tate Modern in London.

Most shows in this new season are already a third done, and Joshiraku just now finishes. I can understand why. Kumeta's material is tough to render in a way that's both understandable and funny for English audiences, so, no matter what misgivings I may have had about them in the past, my many kudos to gg.
Of all the shows that aired last season, Joshiraku remains at the apex. It has everything I love. Social commentary, metahumor and butt jokes. Kumeta can be compared to Parker and Stone, especially in that they both make me laugh. Marii, with her fiery personality and ability to play boke and tsukkomi with ease, is my favorite, but she required the energy of the entire rest of the cast to make this work. While I do wonder how different the series would've been if it kept the Drama CD cast (Kana Hanazawa as Gankyou... she did play Ichiko, but I can't really see it), but the anime cast delivered and then some. On with the actual episode!
I would love to call Uzannu "normal", but she's about as far from normal as one can get. About the only character whose shtick she didn't steal was Tetora's, and that's because Teto's all about being nice and anchored down - neither of which applies to her. The gradient hair was very Potemayo-ish, but the "things that only need to be experienced once" went right for the jugular. The "American remakes" bit in particular. (Still one of Dennis Hopper's more entertaining roles.) Leave it to the show to quickly break the wistful mood. Glad to see Maeda again, too.
Akihabara. Nerd mecca! A place where pain is power and fandom lives and breathes in every street corner! ...is not what the segment focused on. It's a side of Akiba that I've never really considered, and, for a final episode, deals with the transitive nature of fads in that town. Satirizing the surface elements is for other series. Joshiraku aims for something that a foreigner like myself wouldn't automatically think of. It was educational as much as it was entertaining. Well played, show. You baited and switched me, but I think I enjoyed the end result even more.
For the (not-really) final segment, I liked what they were going for. A reprise of the show's beginnings, turning on the show itself. Knowing how Zetsubou Sensei (the anime) ended, I should've expected something like this. I both agree and don't agree with the points they brought up. The little something extras are something I like - they expand the original material and give it more dimensions. So in a way, I suppose I support their "view things as themselves" platforms, though as Gan pointed out, it can run several levels deep. I wonder if the war going on has anything to do with the exploding sheep from a few episodes ago. All this talk of finales seems kind of moot when there's going to be an OVA in a few months... but I expect they'll comment on that, too, when the time comes. Maybe it's not Shaft that made Zetsubou so self-referential (though it did make them more text heavy), but Kumeta. Because JC Staff caught it and started taking potshots at themselves in this final episode. Which I'm sure some people will appreciate, but I just found highly amusing.
I stand by every word I've said. Joshiraku is highbrow, lowbrow and excellent. Here's to a second season!

So that's that, and I loved the way that everything went full circle by the end.
I shall miss this show, there's nothing really this barking this season.
I have to admit that I did actually wonder whether JC Staff would do a Kumeta comedy justice. After all, with three seasons of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, plus the OVAs, plus the Katte ni Kaizou OVAs, I really couldn't imagine anyone BUT SHAFT/Shinbo doing this.
My fears were soon relieved though, and I loved this series to bits. While I'm not exactly holding my breath for a second season (and I have no idea whether the manga is long enough anyway) I'd love to see one some day.
And by the way, did anyone else spot the Nodame Cantabile reference here?
PS: Kimpleng, The only thing I could think of squinting at the mosaic from across the room was Jar Jar Binks!

Clarkesville, GA has always had a great attraction for all sorts of cranks and oddities, who have drifted here from every quarter, besides having her fair share of the same sort of native production. Did the scope of this paper permit, I could relate many tales of interest both grave and gay. I will speak of one story that used to excite my childish sympathy and interest to the highest degree.
Many years ago, a Frenchman, calling himself Eugene Pinard, came to Clarkesville, no one knew for what reason. He was a mysterious character, stern and reserved, saying nothing of his past, except a few vague hints of a dark past of crime and piracy. A chest of rich clothing and silk and velvet seemed to corroborate his story of having been on a pirate ship.
He married a pretty country girl living as help in General Wyley's family. He remained with her for perhaps three years, then disappeared as suddenly as he came, taking with him a beautiful little daughter, nearly two years old and leaving not a trace to show where he had gone.
The sympathy of the whole town was aroused for the heartbroken mother and every possible effort was put forth to locate the little child. Kind friends wrote to the French consuls in New Orleans, Mobile, New York and other ports. Advertisements were inserted in the papers of the principal cities of this country and in France, but all in vain.
The fugitives had disappeared as if swallowed by the earth, and the desolate mother never again heard aught of her child. I remember Mrs. Pinard when I was a child a pale, sad woman who made a modest livelihood by nursing the sick and sewing in families, and who Grieved as long as she lived for her Victorine.
Interesting Bits Of Habersham County History, a series of un-published articles by Addie Bass; this 'History of Clarkesville' excerpt was told her by Mrs. Julia Wales Erwin Wilson, 1927

The wheel of justice grinds slowly. But when a cog breaks, the system can fall apart quickly. Even the smallest error can be fatal.
The wheel of justice grinds slowly. But when a cog breaks, the system can fall apart quickly. Even the smallest error can be fatal.
Earlier this year police arrested Rafael Jones, 23, for the shooting death of off-duty Philadelphia police Officer Moses Walker Jr. during a street robbery. Jones should never have been out there.
Jones' criminal record is 10 years long. He once served four years in prison on a gun charge. He'd been arrested as recently as February for another stickup, during which he allegedly pointed his handgun into the chest of a man near a Germantown bus stop, robbing the victim of his designer jacket, sneakers and cash. Unfortunately for the law-abiding public, that victim himself had a history of drug arrests. He failed to appear at three court hearings between February and June.
Even without the February victim's testimony, Jones should have been on a much tighter rein. He was a violent criminal with recent allegations of more handgun-related violence.
Jones also had failed a probation drug test. Yet this convicted felon ended up getting released from house arrest, where a Common Pleas judge had sentenced him for another parole violation. Nor was he on electronic monitoring, as the judge had ordered, when he walked out just 10 days before he allegedly shot Walker to death. With the aid of street video, police identified and arrested Jones, who has since confessed.
Now the Pennsylvania Board of Probation has announced that it has fired three employees as a direct result of the Jones case. The three employees "were terminated due to violations of board procedures, the board's code of conduct, and shortcomings in the manner in which Jones was supervised," board spokeswoman Sherry Tate said.
Board Chairman Michael Potteiger said last week that the employees violated internal rules and procedures in Jones' case.
The result of this collective failure — of a witness to testify, of parole professionals to perform their duties properly — was that, police say, Jones was out, late at night, on a Philadelphia street, with a gun. Walker had finished his overnight shift and was walking to a bus stop when Jones and his accomplice allegedly followed him and shot him to death.
The American legal system has plenty of pitfalls. A lawyer with too many cases, a crowded court docket, an overloaded probation officer, supervisors who look the other way, any of these vital parts of the system can fail. It's up to every individual to play his or her role responsibly, to make sure justice is served — and in some cases, to protect lives.

CEP Hosts Water Technology Workshop
On June 27, the Center for Environmental Policy hosted an Expert Workshop on Water Technologies as part its role in the Partnership on Technology Innovation and the Environment. In addition to American University, partnership members include the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Defense Fund, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and the Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership at Wharton. The partnership has been working since January 2014 to help advance the deployment of water technologies and financing innovations for nutrient reduction and wastewater treatment.
Read summary report »
During the day-long workshop, attendees from the non-profit, academic, government, business and investment sectors focused on identifying challenges and opportunities to create financial models to increase the development and implementation of both nutrient reduction technologies and the Water Resources Utility of the Future. The nutrient reduction workgroup discussed ways to increase nutrient data in watersheds and how to create financial models to reduce the costs of sensors or raise the price for water quality data. Participants raised the possible next step of creating a small scale dispersed nutrient monitoring/nutrient trading demonstration project in a watershed or subwatershed which could be applied to other watersheds in the future.
The Wastewater workgroup explored ideas for how to help drive progress towards widespread implementation of the Water Resources Utility of the Future. The workgroup questioned whether the model is financially self-sustaining and discussed the critical need to move utilities toward energy efficiencies and valuables recovery to help offset operating costs. The workgroup did not identify a single technology but rather decided that many different technologies would be necessary to help lower operating costs. Since the utility sector and its traditional investors would not likely be willing to accept major technological change all at one time, the workgroup suggested a more gradual approach that would add value to the efforts already underway, such as placing graduate students or technical experts on temporary assignments with utilities to support energy efficiency efforts, green infrastructure or other objectives that will advance and strengthen wastewater treatment infrastructure.
A summary of the partnership meeting will be available here in late July 2014.

Rey Ochoa III of Stockton, California, can remember the days when everyone would cruise down Charter Way on Saturdays and ride through Stribley Park on Sundays. It would be packed bumper to bumper, says Rey, who can still visualize all the Lowriders out there when he thinks back. With his father and all his uncles being members of Brown Persuasion car club since the mid 70s, Rey truly grew up around Lowriders for most of his life. His first recollection of cruising down Charter Way takes him all the way back to 1981 when he was only 7 years old. He remembers that day vividly, as he was cruising with his mom and dad in his dad's '75 baby blue Impala. I loved being out there with my dad until 3 or 4 in the morning, says Rey proudly.
As a kid, the insatiable Rey would go to car show after car show, from Bakersfield to Sacramento, in his pursuit of knowledge and experience in the sport that he fell in love with. I used to help them set up and at the end of the show, if they won a trophy, I would go and pick it up for them, he recalls. At age 14, it was a young Rey who held the measuring stick during the hop contest at Larry's show in Tulare, California. I've just been around the scene for a long time, says Rey. Like many, Rey stepped back from the Lowrider scene to start a family but never fully left it behind. In 2007, he came back to the scene and purchased his '64 Impala hardtop.
Rey came across this '64 Impala through his good friend, John Flores, Jr. Rey took his son Rey Ochoa IV with him to go look at it. We both fell in love with it at first sight. Now that he had the car he wanted to build, he needed to figure out which plaque would fly in the Chevy's back window, and the choice was very easy. With his dad and all five of his uncles still in Brown Persuasion car club, Rey felt like it was only right that he join as well.
Reborn and revitalized in the lifestyle, Rey has his family, his car club, and the '64 by his side at all times. I'm excited right now, I've had a stomach ache for two days, that's how excited I am about this, expressed Rey as he talked about his feature in Lowrider Magazine. He was left with big shoes to fill as his dad and uncles have all been featured in past issues of Lowrider Magazine, including his uncle George Ochoa, who was in the Lowrider Magazine History Book. This has been a dream of mine for a long time, says Rey.
Rey would like to thank his wife Katrina, his parents Ray and Jovita, the Ochoa Brothers Kustoms, Alex and Arnald Ochoa, and last but not least his car club, Brown Persuasions. n
