One of my clients recently had an issue where a particularly high profile user (CEO) had their title spelled incorrectly in Active Directory; unfortunately the error wasn't noticed right away and now, despite changing the information in Active Directory, SharePoint was still showing the wrong title in the People Picker when granting the user rights to a Site Collection. Fortunately I had a partial PowerShell script to fix the issue and just needed to only slightly modify it – you can see the original script on pages 299 and 300 of my book. So before I show the modified script it's first important to understand the problem and why I needed to use a script and why what I had in the book is somewhat incomplete.
Whenever you grant a user rights to a Site Collection or when that user creates/updates/deletes any item within a Site Collection, an entry for the user will be added to a hidden user information list, if not already there. This "User Information List" is located at http://<SiteCollectionUrl>/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx:
By looking at this list you can see that several key pieces of information are stored here – unfortunately, when you change this information in Active Directory the information stored here is not updated (even after running a full or incremental import via UPS). To complicate matters there is no way to edit the information via the browser, thus the need for a PowerShell script. If you click the user's name you'll see the additional properties, including an "Edit Item" option, however, the edit dialog is simply a read-only display of the username, helpful right?:
So let's first consider the scenario that my book addresses and assume that a user had had their name and/or email address changed. To accommodate this scenario we simply use the Set-SPUser cmdlet along with the -SyncFromAD parameter. The following script is taken directly from my book and simply iterates through all Site Collections and calls the Set-SPUser cmdlet for the provided user:
function Sync-SPUser([string]$userName) { Get-SPSite -Limit All | foreach { $web = $_.RootWeb if ($_.WebApplication.UseClaimsAuthentication) { $claim = New-SPClaimsPrincipal $userName -IdentityType WindowsSamAccountName $user = $web | Get-SPUser -Identity $claim -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } else { $user = $web | Get-SPUser -Identity $userName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } if ($user -ne $null) { $web | Set-SPUser -Identity $user -SyncFromAD } $web.Dispose() $_.Dispose() } }
Before I make any changes to demonstrate this script and the modifications we'll make to it, let's first see how my user is currently set in the Site Collection:
And as shown in the People Picker:
Note the "Name"/"Display Name", "Work e-mail"/"E-Mail", and "Title" fields.
Now I'll change these values in Active Directory (make the "p" in my last name capitalized, change the title, and set the email) and then run the script (I saved the script as Sync-SPUser.ps1):
(Note that lowercase "p" is the correct spelling for my name, just in case you were wondering ). Now if we look at the user details in the Site Collection and the People Picker we should see the following:
Notice that the the "Name" / "Display Name" and "Work e-mail" / "E-Mail" fields were updated but not the "Title" field. This is because the Set-SPUser cmdlet and -SyncFromAD parameter only updates these two fields. So how do you update the remaining fields? We simply need to add some code to our function which will grab the SPListItem corresponding to the user from the hidden "User Information List" and then update the corresponding fields manually. The following modified script does this for the "Title" field (note that I've changed the function signature to take the title in as a parameter):
function Sync-SPUser([string]$userName, [string]$title) { Get-SPSite -Limit All | foreach { $web = $_.RootWeb if ($_.WebApplication.UseClaimsAuthentication) { $claim = New-SPClaimsPrincipal $userName -IdentityType WindowsSamAccountName $user = $web | Get-SPUser -Identity $claim -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } else { $user = $web | Get-SPUser -Identity $userName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } if ($user -ne $null) { $web | Set-SPUser -Identity $user -SyncFromAD $list = $web.Lists["User Information List"] $query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery $query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Name' /><Value Type='Text'>$userName</Value></Eq></Where>" foreach ($item in $list.GetItems($query)) { $item["JobTitle"] = $title $item.SystemUpdate() } } $web.Dispose() $_.Dispose() } }
The changes to the original function have been highlighted. Note that the internal field name for the "Title" field is "JobTitle" and that is what we are using to set the Title. Now if we run this modified script we should see the Title field updated:
Okay, so what about the other fields (Department, Mobile Number, etc.)? You can see what fields are available to edit by running the following:
In the preceding example I'm grabbing a specific item (in this case the item corresponding to my user) so that I can see the internal field names in context with the data stored by the field – this helps to make sure that I grab the correct field name (i.e., "JobTitle" vs. "Title"). Now you can just add additional fields to update right before the call to SystemUpdate() – simply follow the pattern established for the title field.
So, add this guy to your script library and you'll be good to go next time someone changes their name, email, or job title.

A huge mob rampaged through Maruti Suzuki's Northern Indian factory on Wednesday leaving behind damaged equipment, injured workers, and a human resources manager burned to death in the melee.
There are conflicting reports regarding the cause, depending on which side you listen to. The incident apparently occurred after one employee was disciplined. Management says the union members attacked during discussions while the Union says they were attacked first.
No matter who started it, people are injured or dead, and there are more arrests coming for those that were involved. Labor disputes caused $500 million in losses in 2011 for the factory, which makes more than 550,000 cars annually.
Even though it isn't in English, the video from the scene gives a good idea to just how crazy this riot was.

Peppy player
Here is one more audio player based on the Raspberry Pi 2 platform.
The detailed description of this project can be found on the github:
Please use the sidebar to navigate through different chapters of the doc.
This is DIY project which includes three components: hardware, software
and woodware. All three components were created for this project from scratch.
Here are the key features of the hardware component:
* It is based on the popular single-board computer Raspberry Pi 2.
* High quality audio achieved by using integrated Amplifier module HiFiBerry Amp+ and Sony speakers.
* The Hardware has six "senses" to control its functionality:
- Mouse
- Keyboard
- Touchscreen
- Infrared Remote Control
- Rotary Encoders
- Any computer in a local network or mobile device with Web Browser
Here are the key features of the Software component:
* This is application written in Python.
* Peppy provides Graphical User Interface for audio players running in a headless mode. Currently Peppy supports 'Mpd' audio player.
* Embedded Web Server allows to control audio playback from any Web Browser.
* The default touchscreen resolution is 480*320. This is the resolution of the TFT used for this project. Though UI is dynamic and can scale to any screen resolution.
* Currently Peppy has only Internet Radio functionality. In the future releases support for playing audio files and streams will be implemented as well.
* By default Peppy has playlists containing free radio stations for English, French, German and Russian languages. Users can add their own stations to the playlists.
The key features of the Woodware component include:
* Original custom design.
* Made of solid wood (Cherry and Walnut).
* Natural finish - the variation of French polish.
I hope that the information about this project will be useful for all
DIY developers as it brings together many different aspects of developing
hardware, software and woodware fro Raspberry Pi platform.

International Genealogical Index (IGI)
The International Genealogical Index was a family history database that listed several hundred million names of deceased persons from throughout the world. Names in the IGI came from two sources.
- Community Contributed IGI (Personal family information submitted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
For a short period of time duplication in the IGI was reduced by removing records from the indexed data when these records were submitted by the community. To do an exhaustive search for your ancestor you should choose to search the Community Contributed IGI and follow the process outlined on the Family Search Wiki IGI page to determine if the record you find was part of an indexed collection.
Community Indexed IGI
(Vital and church records from the early 1500s to 1885)
The indexed data has been organized into the original collections from which it was transcribed and resides in the Historical Records system. To see a list of all collections available choose Browse All Published Collections from the home screen. The Community Indexed search from this page searches ONLY the records that were part of the old IGI. Most of these collections have had many more records added to them. To do an exhaustive search for your ancestors you should choose to use the search form on the home screen.

Roll clouds may look gorgeous off the coast of Brazil, they may be a common sight over Queensland, but they appear downright menacing when spanning the horizon above Richland, Mississippi.
Daniel Blake Fitzhugh captured the impressive footage a phone camera just outside of Jackson back in 2010. "It had been cloudy and windy all day," Fitzhugh told Live Sciences. "I was heading north and the cloud was going west to east. I noticed it and was extremely surprised! I had never seen anything like it before."
This enormous sky tube forms when colder air sinks and pushes warmer, moist air up from the ground, creating clouds. Swirling winds cause the new, low-hanging clouds to roll over themselves like a wave's barrel. And while roll clouds often precede thunder storms, the phenomenon is not attached to the main bulk of a storm front like the related shelf cloud. [Livescience]

The creators of "Killing Kennedy" have released a first look at Michelle Trachtenberg in the TV movie, who plays the wife of Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Trachtenberg, 27, of "Gossip Girl" fame plays Marina Oswald. Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of killing President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, but his role in the assassination has been debated by conspiracy theorists.
"I am so excited for the challenge to portray Marina Oswald, and to do my first role speaking only in Russian," Trachtenberg said. "I'm the only actor playing someone who is still alive, so I want to stay as true to her as possible.
"This is a story about JFK's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and his wife Marina. And it is fascinating."
"Killing Kennedy" is based on the book of the same name written by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. Trachtenberg plays alongside Will Rothhaar as Lee Harvey Oswald and Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin as John and Jacqueline Kennedy.
The project is currently in production in Richmond, Va., and is set to air on National Geographic Channel with the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination.

Search results for "self-individuation "
Psychosocial approaches to wellbeing
Saturday, 23 June, 2012 - 22:39
Draft - a review of some psychosocial approaches to personal wellbeing including locus of control, self-efficacy, autonomy, identity mobility, locus of origin, socioeconomic status, perceptions of aetiology, relatedness and self-individuation. This draft starts with the issue of the uses of technology in people's lives and develops core concerns into the wider remit of general wellbeing.
One of the core issues around using technology to support people in times of physical and emotional distress is the well-researched and documented need for people to feel that they are in control of the technologies in question, and that they are in charge of what the right responsibilities are: this is the 'locus of control' which, when internal and correctly composed, contributes both to physical health (Kobasa et al, 1982) and to mental wellbeing (Hill & Bale, 1980). Furthermore, seeking out information characterises the development and maintenance of a well-defined sense of internal locus of control and valuation of personal health and wellbeing (Wallston & Wallston, 1976; Klein & Cook, 2010).
Assessments of the perceived locus of control can indicate an individual's sense of self-efficacy, both in terms of their relationship with technology and electronic resources, as well as in the wider psychosocial realm of life. Mastery and control over the technological resources ameliorates associated anxiety and stress (O'Driscoll & O'Driscoll, 2008), while a sense of autonomy and personal competence contributes to more general wellbeing. One component of such wellbeing is "identity mobility" - a formulation which captures the need for individuals to have both a confidence in the self which reinforces personal agency, and the literal and metaphorical room for manoeuvre that allows for responsiveness to new situations and development into new phases of life (Todres & Galvin, 2011).
Alongside the importance of the Mental Health Locus of Control (MHLC) is the Mental Health Locus of Origin (MHLO), which identifies beliefs about the aetiology of psychological problems. The locus of origin is implicated in the way that individuals are likely to attribute causal factors or invoke explanatory models to account for difficult emotional and psychological experiences. Correlations have been shown between socioeconomic status and the propensity to attribute such experiences to either "interactional" causes such as interpersonal relationships in the case of higher socioeconomic status, or "endogenous" factors such as "organic, hereditary and moral" causes in the case of lower socioeconomic status (Hill & Bale, 1980).
Attribution of aetiologies is a key dimension of the process of sense-making that is involved in therapeutic activities such as CBT, narrative therapy and others. The ability to assimilate new or unexpected experiences into an ordered framework in which explanatory factors can be appealed to is a key component in personal wellbeing (McLeod, 1997; Bruner, 1986). Relatedness is what permits individuals to constellate disparate events and processes into a coherent and unified whole. It is also relatedness that expresses the tension between identify formation through the cultivation of self-definition, autonomy and individuation on one hand, and on the other, the development of interpersonal relationships and the cultivation of associated aspects of personality such as dependency, cooperation, collaboration, affection, mutuality, reciprocity and intimacy (Blatt, 2008).
Alongside autonomy, relatedness is one of the universal basic components of personal wellbeing (Deci & Ryan, 2000). For this reason it is one of the characteristics of adolescent development that autonomy is often contested and the sense of belonging often precarious. Autonomy requires effortful control - the ability to voluntarily regulate attention and direct behaviour toward goals, and repeated unsuccessful efforts to achieve goals often leads to fearfulness. Low effortful control is correlated with externalising problems such as aggression and anti-social behaviour while fearfulness is associated with internalising problems such as depression and feelings of inadequacy (Sentse & Ormel, 2011).

Post subject: Basketball Diaries...DiCaprio vs Wahlberg
Just a note after reading some of the previously posted messages. Mark is a great
actor, no doubt....but IF he played Jim Carroll in the movie...first of all...he is too muscular, and DiCaprio looked a lot like Jim in the film...taller, thinner, and his hair was even kind of reddish in the movie.
I agree Mark would have been wonderful..but he excelled as Mickey.

A couple of things...
I know I am new here, but from time to time, expressing my own demented opinions gets me into a but load of trouble...
1~ I think that Mark is recognized as a serious talent.
2~ Somehow I dont think he would appreciate being called Marky. I could be wrong about that. If anyone somehow knows differently, feel free to ***** slap me

Welcome MarkFrak I agree that Mark gets recognised as a serious/talented actor by us all anyway's (not so much by the critics). As to your question about being called Marky Mark it is known he doesn't like to be called by that anymore (i love the name myself). Also this site doesn't like to much foul language as like many have said there's some younger member's so we have to respect them & any parent's may be around so that's basically why it's censored. Where you from?? my name is Diane so again welcome!!!

Greetings from sweaty Miami FL. I was surprised to be censored simply b/c I can imagine Mark not being at all sensitive to foul language. As far as the Marky nick goes. Maybe it takes away from his credibility as a *real* actor? Thats just my opinion

I think when we call him Marky it's more of a term of endearment than relating to his old Marky Mark name and the mb's are censored just to make it a better place to be.

Milestones:Rincón del Bonete, 1945
Rincon del Bonete Hydroelectric Plant and Transmission System, 1945
In December, 1945, much-needed hydroelectric power began flowing from here to other parts of Uruguay. World War II had interrupted the work begun by a German consortium, but Uruguayan engineers reformulated and completed the project using United States-supplied equipment. The large artificial lake spurred further Rio Negro electrification; availability of abundant, clean hydroelectricity was a turning point in Uruguay's development, quality of life, and engineering profession.
(The plaque may be viewed on the outside wall near the entrance to the Rincon del Bonete Powerhouse, which is still in operation. GPS coordinates are: 56° 25' 18.6" S, 32° 49' 55.5" W. The plaque will be affixed to an outside wall, where the frequent public/student touristic/educational tours make a stop.)
Rincon del Bonete: First Stage of the Electrification of the Negro River
In 1904, the Uruguayan engineer Victor Soudriers, responsible for the construction of a bridge over the Rio Negro, gained direct knowledge of the potential of the waterway for navigation and power generation. The bridge was finally built in the "Picada de los Ladrones" ("The Robber's Crossing") in the middle-high course of the river.
However, necessary studies, level and flow measurements, installation of river gauges and the consolidation of an appropriate legal framework took many years. Political milestones included the Acts for the establishment of the Directorate of Hydrography and the public utility (Usinas y Trasmisiones Electricas, UTE) for generation and distribution of electricity.
Two projects by J. G. White (London, 1912) and then another one by the U.S. firm Ulhen (1916) were discussed at length. But they were limited in scope and did not materialize. These were projects for the upper-middle course of the river. In 1923, French Prof. Kalbermatten drafted another plan for hydroelectricity generation in the middle course of the river. The exploitation of the Rio Negro for hydroelectric generation attained national significance around 1930. Numerous technical articles in the "Revista de Ingenieria" (published by the National Engineers' Society) testify to the interest and technical, economic and political debate spurred by this issue. Critics argued that although Uruguay did not have any sources of coal or oil, the cost of the work could be justified only to the extent that electricity demand was expected to increase, since the projected installed capacity was greater than present demand. Finally, by 1933 the government, convinced of the feasibility of the venture (after consultation with the University and the Engineer's Association) hired German Professor Ludin to develop a project plan and specifications for international bidders. The President, Gabriel Terra, was instrumental in the concretion of the project. In recognition, years later, in the 1970s, the Dam was renamed in his honor.
This finally resulted in the construction of the dam at Rincon del Bonete, in the middle course of the river. [In Spanish "bonete" means a round hat, almost like a bag. It refers to the particular form of this river's meander, which are generally called "rincon," and probably explains the orign of the name.]
The largest project in the history of Uruguay
The estimated project cost was more than 7 million Pounds Sterling, plus the local expense of expropriation of the land to be flooded. This was a very significant percentage of GNP, especially considering that the country's population at that time was just below 2 million people. An international bidding was conducted and there were two offers: one from Germany (A consortium led by Siemens, Berlin) and one from Czechoslovakia (Skoda Industries, Pilsen). The alternative offer from Siemens was accepted and the contract was signed in April, 1937.
It was an ambitious and visionary project: 128 MW surpassed the country's demand and there was absolutely no experience in the country with the HV necessary for the 230 Km long lines of the trasnmission system. The Kaplan turbines specified were an early example of pushing that technology to higher levels, as was the case in Shanon, Ireland
On 18 May 1937 in the midst of a civic, popular party in the nearby city of Paso de los Toros ("The Bulls' crossing"). the construction work began.
Importance to the electrification of Uruguay and Latin America
Since the Rio Negro is a lowland river, and given the irregularity of rainfall patterns in the region, it was necessary to create a large artificial lake, which at the time was the largest in Latin America, and one of the largest in the world. Its total volume allows the plant to operate for four months, even without any flow contributions from the river's tributaries; two or three additional powerhouses could be built downstream, taking additional advantage from the flow regulation capabilities of that artificial lake (1,100 square Km).
The dam, literally in the center of the country, was at a great distance from the primary center of electrical consumption consisting of the capital city Montevideo and its surroundings. This required the construction of a major HV transmission system. The greater meaning of the project, however, is that a whole country, without availability of fossil fuels, pioneered the way into hydropower, breaking years of dependence on costly imports of coal and oil.
Difficulties during World War II
After September 1939, the British Navy prevented the loading and transport of electromechanical equipment from Germany. Parts were manufactured and ready to ship in Mediterranean ports, some of which had already been partially paid. The Uruguayan government started feverish negotiations with England, to allow the parts to board and cross the Atlantic Ocean. Nevertheless, the English government refused to allow shipping of any parts of the turbines, transformers, cranes, gates, etc., thereby completely stopping the advance of the electromechanical assembly.
Search for New Equipment in the United States
The Uruguayan government created a special institution for managing the project and the works: the Administration of the works in Rio Negro, "RIONE." RIONE, under the leadership of Technical Director Mr. Luis Giorgi, was already taking precautions and adapting construction details in order to continue with the civil works despite missing elements such as gates, closure panels, etc. In 1941, Mr. Giorgi began negotiations with the United States of America, which had not yet entered World War II, and was the only country able to manufacture and supply the electromechanical equipment. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, in December 1941, the project was further complicated by the difficulty of obtaining strategic materials such as steel and copper.
Uruguay broke relations with Germany in April 1942 and the contract with the German consortium was canceled in May 1942 by decision of the Presidency of the Republic. In July, the last remaining German workers left Uruguay. A loan was obtained from Eximbank (Washington, D.C.) to finance the necessary American equipment. An additional agreement was signed that permitted the manufacture and export of heavy equipment, amid strict war restrictions. (see Agreement_1942.pdf)
The Project Reformulation and Adaptation to the Best Technology Available at the Time in the United States
The original project was designed according to German standards, e.g. frequency 50 Hz, metric units. Thus, the construction of the powerhouse, intake gates, draught tubes, mounting of the embedded parts of the turbines, etc. were being completed for machines that would never come. RIONE appointed a team of young engineers, recent graduates, to acquire specialization in the United States and work to amend the project. The program included technical visits and traineeships in factories and plants, while working with Harza Engineering (Chicago) in the adaptation and reformulation of the project. Any dialogue or consultation with German technicians was forbidden by the war conditions.
Among many other specifications, the speed of rotation of the units was altered from 136.4 to 125 rpm and the alternators voltage was changed from 7 kV to 13.8 kV. Several modifications were needed to adapt the already build concrete structure and foundations to the Morgan Smith turbines, General Electric generators and Westinghouse high voltage equipment. The transmission system was modified significantly. Unit step-up transformers were changed from a complete bank to a set of three monophasic units, and the rated voltage was lowered from 170 kV to 161 kV.
Importance for Engineering profession in Uruguay
During 1934, while Luis Giorgi was Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of the Republic in Montevideo, the curriculum was modified to create a major in Industrial Engineering. This degree included the electrical and mechanical knowledge required to address the engineering issues related to hydropower generation. When the war halted the works of the German consortium, the first industrial engineering graduates were commissioned to USA to work on the project and then complete the dam. Those professionals were later professors and also acted as consultants for subsequent hydroelectric works, notably the Salto Grande Project. Among them were Mr. Carlos Rezzano as chief of the mission; Mr. Antonio De Anda, who specialized in mechanical issues; Mr. Franco Vazquez Praderi in the electrical field (he was a young AIEE member at that time and later became Life Senior member); and Mr. Victor Campistrous and Mr. Dal Monte, who were responsible for erecting the entire transmission system.
On-site Installation
While the issues with the electromechanical equipment were being solved in USA, RIONE and its Uruguayan engineers were moving ahead and completing the civil works. Everything was ready for mounting the first unit when it arrived in the port of Montevideo in January 1945.
All tasks in the construction, installation, testing and commissioning of the system were the responsibility of solely national labor, trained and supervised by the engineers who had specialized in the USA. Only two American inspectors, one from GE (alternator) and another one from Morgan Smith (turbine), were present in Uruguay, in order for the installation to qualify for warranty. Unit #2 was the first to be ready in December of that year.
Transmission System
The construction of the first high voltage line (230 km) was performed entirely by Uruguayan engineers and the workers trained by them, from August 1944 to November 1945. Although the technology was completely new, it performed as expected and there was no loss of life during the construction. The receiving end at Montevideo was moved to a new sub-station (North) on the outskirts of the city, rather than connected to the switchyard area of the existing thermal plant. A ring of underground cables was built (31.5 kV) to distribute the energy throughout the city, as well. Completion of the ring was delayed during the war years, because of a scarcity of materials. Later, a second transmission line from Rincon del Bonete gave the system enhanced availability.Many HV Transmission system studies were performed for the setup, first in Westinghouse's analog network analyzer and later at MIT. As a result two 20 MVAR synchronous condensers were added to the new sub-station "Norte" (North).
Commissioning of the First Unit
The project had suffered years of delays because of the Second World War. In Montevideo, thermal generation was insufficient to cope with demand as war requirements in Europe meant that good quality fuel (coal from England) was scarce and expensive. Years of using poor quality fuels, including agricultural residues, had complicated the operation of the city's boilers, and maintenance works had long been deferred. To be able to maintain thermal units, as soon as the first hydroelectric unit in Rincon del Bonete was ready, a decision was made to split the network in Montevideo in order to connect some of the load directly to the new system.
This was accomplished in the early hours of December 21, 1945. Victor Soudriers - who had conceived the idea in 1904 and fought for the constructions for many years - was called to operate the main breaker. At the hydroelectric plant, the official inauguration was on December 26; senior officers from the Uruguayan government and the U.S. ambassador gave speeches at the opening ceremony.
Benefits for the Whole Country
Electricity generation far exceeded even the most optimistic forecasts. No longer limited by the generation capacity, demand growth reached double-digit percentages annually during the first decade of operation. The whole country benefited from the abundance of cheap and clean electricity, constituting a factor for national development and welfare. The generating Units in Rincon del Bonete worked with capacity factors from 0.55 to 0.60 and above for more than 45 years. At the end of the 20th century they were renovated and are still operating as an important part of the country's electrical network. Years later, the official name of the instalations was changed to "Gabriel Terra" who, as the government's leader, was instrumental in the decision to build them.
Further Development of Hydropower in Uruguay
The fourth and last unit of "Rincon del Bonete" entered service in 1949; also the second trasnmission line to Montevideo. In April 1950 all the installations and the responsability for their operation were transferred to the public utility "UTE." Two other powerhouses were later built downstream of Rincon del Bonete: Baygorria (100MW) in 1960 and Palmar in 1982 (330 MW). For many years, hydro generation constituted 80% to 90% of the electric energy matrix of Uruguay. In 1946, when Rincon del Bonete had just started to generate electricity, an international agreement was signed and approved with the Republic of Argentina for the construction of Salto Grande dam. The agreement resulted in the hydroelectric development of the Rio Uruguay, the boundary between the two countries. This was an ambitious bi-national project (1890 MW) that began generating electricity in 1979.
EPILOG: The Flood of 1959
In April 1959, after two months of heavy autumn rains, an extraordinary flood of the Rio Negro occurred that greatly exceeded the spillway capability (greater than the expected 10,000-year flood). The water overflowed the dam, despite efforts to increase its height by one meter with cement bags and the partial blast of a lateral earth dam to reduce the overflow. Downstream, the power house was flooded and the electrical equipment was damaged, forcing its subsequent rewinding.
The civil structure of the dam gave proof of its excellent construction, as it supported the overflow without experiencing problems. The downstream towns of Paso de los Toros and Mercedes, and the works on the new dam Baygorria were saved from total destruction because Rincon del Bonete acted as a regulator: containing the great flood, attenuating material losses and avoiding loss of life.
The plant began generating electricity again in March 1960 after the installation of new windings in the alternators. At the end of the 20th century, and after almost 50 years of operation, the turbines and generators were replaced, simultaneously rising the rated power from 128 to 152 MW.
Importance of the Achievement in Rincon del Bonete
Besides the significance of using state of the art technology in southern South America in difficult wartime, the Rincon del Bonete Project marked a milestone in the history of the country. In Latin America, Uruguay was a premier example of a country that opted completely for hydraulic, renewable energy ("white coal"), thereby eliminating the necessity of costly imports of fuel. The project was completed thanks to the initiative and achievement of Uruguayan engineers and workers, who had to reformulate the original project and procure the necessary material and educational resources to finish the work. Their success was an important factor in reaffirming the sovereignty of the country and the quality of education of its engineers.

In 1988, researchers discovered pulsar PSR B1620-26, a neutron star spinning about 100 times a second, in the 13-billion-year-old globular star cluster known as M4. Scientists soon found a white dwarf nearby and further observations located a third object in orbit around both, which astronomers thought was either a brown dwarf or a low-mass star. The new work, carried out by an international team led by Steinn Sigurdsson of Pennsylvania State University, indicates that the orbiting object is instead a planet with a mass 2.5 times that of Jupiter. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, the team inferred the weight of the planet from its effects on the pulsar, thereby determining that it was too small to be either a star or a brown dwarf. "This is tremendously encouraging that planets are probably abundant in globular star clusters," notes study co-author Harvey Richer of the University of British Columbia.
Because globular clusters have low concentrations of heavy elements--necessary building blocks for planets--scientists believed that they were unsuitable as planet breeding grounds. Indeed, the metal content of M4 is just 5 percent of that of our sun. "Our Hubble measurement offers tantalizing evidence that planet formation processes are quite robust and efficient at making use of a small amount of heavier elements," Sigurdsson notes. "This implies that planet formation happened very early in the universe."

Multiplatform console title Daisenryaku Perfect: Ruler of the Battlefield is ugly. It really is. The game, which is priced at ¥8,190 (US$100) and looks like a hat full of assholes, was supposed to be out this June.
It will not. Instead, the game is being delayed to this fall, giving developers more time "to improve quality". Maybe they can make the game look less like a Sega Saturn title and, god willing, more like a Dreamcast game.
The game is a port of the incredibly buggy PSP version—a game so buggy that some said it was unplayable—that was released last summer. It looks...pretty much like the PSP game! And that game didn't look so hot.
What Daisenryaku sacrifices on visual candy, it does offer its fans is a large array of weapons, customization and, according to the developer, advanced AI. It also looks like shit.

Pink Diggily Diggily
Pink Diggily Diggily
- Music
Good evening, ladies and germs! (Laughter) Have you heard the one about the comedy album? It's making a comeback! Yeah, right and so is the Ayatollah! (Laughter) But Syria-slee, folks!
Then again, maybe comedy-album collectors are having the last laugh. The current country top 10, for instance, includes Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, the Tractors, and Jeff Foxworthy? The Atlanta stand-up, now based in L.A., has gone gold with his debut album, You Might Be a Redneck If… Saturday Night Live's lantern-jawed goofball, Adam Sandler, has spawned a cult item with his Grammy-nominated 1993 debut, They're All Gonna Laugh at You!, and his West Coast equivalent, professional stoner Pauly Shore, has returned with his second effort, Pink Diggily Diggily. Meanwhile, Loose Cannon has dusted off '70s records by Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx, originally released on the low-budget label Laff.
In other words, there's more yuk-time product on the CD shelves than ever before, but the barrage only serves to show how far comedy albums have strayed since their '60s-'70s peak. Stand-ups like Bill Cosby and Bob Newhart set the pace in the '60s, and Pryor and Foxx upped the ante the following decade. Foxx's I Ain't Lied Yet! (1975) is the dark side of Fred Sanford — it's so raw it makes sushi seem overcooked! (Sorry, I'll stop.) Crude, scatological, and unapologetically raunchy, Foxx was the dirty-old-man answer to Henny Youngman ("Where do cousins come from? Aunt holes!"). You'll laugh and wince at the same time. As demonstrated by the Loose Cannon reissues Craps (After Hours), Black Ben the Blacksmith, and Who Me? I'm Not Him, Pryor's best work came later. The material is rarely laugh-out-loud funny or cutting, yet you can hear the emergence of his anger-beneath-the-laughs voice on "Cops/The Line-Up" (on Craps, the best of the three).
From Newhart to Pryor, the premier early comedy-album geniuses displayed timing, rhythm, and acute storytelling skills. Judging from the new generation, those talents are as dead as the vinyl on which early comedy was released. Take Sandler's album…please! With his moron-of-the-mall voice, he depicts high school as a hellish cauldron of perversion, which it often is. But They're All Gonna Laugh at You! is otherwise mean-spirited; his one-joke skits, like the pummeling of a bus driver or janitor, go nowhere faster than Denis Leary's acting career. As for Shore, Pink Diggily Diggily contains actual jokes, but they're self-serving brags about his sexual prowess (women, he "jokes," "love to get their hair pulled!"), groupies, hanging out with stars, and his easy climb to the top. And his targets — Marky Mark, the Hair Club for Men — are so easy, even Pauly could score with them! (Okay, okay, no more — this time I mean it.)
No wonder white-trash yukster Foxworthy is outselling his contemporaries: On his album, he spins well-paced tales, complete with a drawl that lurches into a charming, befuddled yelp. Compared with Sandler and Shore, Foxworthy's routines are old-fashioned in their construction, like a yuppie update of Hee Haw. ("Remember how many channels we had when we were kids? Three. And if the President was on, your night was shot!") Yet his trademark "redneck" one-liners hit the bull's-eye just enough: "If you go to the family reunion to meet women you might be a redneck!" Foxworthy's stand-up competition should all — last joke, I promise — sit down! I Ain't Lied Yet! B Craps B- Who Me? I'm Not Him C Black Ben the Blacksmith C They're All Gonna Laugh at You! D Pink Diggily Diggily F You Might Be a Redneck If… A-

E! News Hacked: Justin Bieber Gay Twitter News Posted by Hackers (VIDEO)
E! News Hacked: Justin Bieber Gay Twitter News Posted by Hackers (VIDEO)
E! News' Twitter account has been hacked at the weekend by a hacker group known as the "Syrian Electronic Army."
The hacker group managed to gain control of the Twitter account on Saturday, and began posting up false reports, including that Justin Bieber had announced that he was gay.
The news was retweeted by followers of E! News hundreds of times before E! News were able to announce that it was a false report and that the account had been compromised.
The account remained suspended for most of the day on Saturday, but it seems that by Sunday the Twitter account had returned to normal.
The company released the following statement about the hacking: "E! Online's breaking news Twitter and SMS accounts were compromised today. We're working to have this resolved as quickly as possible and are fully investigating the incident. We apologize for any confusion that the erroneous news alerts may have caused."
The Syrian Electronic Army, which according to some rumors, has ties to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, also claimed responsibility for hacking the Twitter account of The Associated Press recently.
In that incident the hacker group posted a tweet that stated the White House had been attacked by terrorists and that a number of explosions had taken place. That news also spread quickly although it quickly became apparent that the news was false and that the social media account had been hacked.
In the latest incident E! News posted a message stating: "This account @eonline was compromised and some incorrect information was sent out. We're working with Twitter now to fix this."
The hacker group has also claimed responsibility in the past for hacking into accounts used by the BBC, NPR, France 24 TV, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Here is a video news report into the AP Twitter hack incident:

Someone once said, "One man's trash, is another man's treasure."
Not to say that Denver Kirkland is garbage. He's a person, to be sure, a very large person, standing 6-foot-5, and weighing 330-pounds
But on Thursday night, as reported first by XOFan/CaneInsider on Twitter, the Miami Booker T. Washington offensive lineman was thrown out like the garbage by the University of Miami coaching staff. XOFan/CaneInsider also reported that the Hurricanes pulled the offer due to an over-signing of offensive linemen.
Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reported that Assistant coach Michael Barrow told Kirkland that he was no longer being offered a scholarship by the 'Canes.
Navarro spoke with Miami head coach Tim 'Ice' Harris Sr., late Thursday night and Harris intimated that UM offered a sort of ultimatum to commit now, or else. Kirkland said he wanted to wait until National Signing Day. Barrow then said, UM was "moving in a different direction." (Link to Manny Navarro's story at Herald.com)
It was thought that Kirkland was most likely to sign Wednesday with his hometown Hurricanes, but not now. This has to make FSU fans quite giddy to hear the news.
It's been a tough week for Seminoles' fans, but finally some good news. FSU was a heavy favorite to land Kirkland prior to his cornerman and main FSU recruiter James Coley's departure to join forces with the Hurricanes. It was figured that Coley could sign, seal and deliver Kirkland to Coral Gables, but now it looks like Coley probably got strong-armed.
Kirkland quickly announced his new top four following the Miami diss, and he has FSU, USF, Ole Miss and Arkansas, where he will visit this weekend.
FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher was on an in-home visit to Prattville, Ala., Thursday night to try and talk some sense into recent FSU defector OL Austin Golson. Something tells me that if Jimbo could be at the airport gates in Miami tomorrow to see Kirkland off on his Arkansas trip, he'd be there as quickly as Air Seminole could fly him.
This could be the momentum swing FSU needed. Being slapped with two decommitments and a key coaching defection within 14 days of National Signing Day had the 'Noles reeling. This little booster shot could even mean highly-coveted linebacker prospect Matthew Thomas, Kirkland's teammate, may have different thoughts about Miami as he nears his decision.
Coley was also the lead recruiter for Thomas, but this is not likely going to sit well with the prized recruit. Thomas has always maintained that anything other players do has no determining factor in his eventual decision. Kirkland, however, didn't do anything here, and the move by UM might be seen as a strike against loyalty in Thomas' eyes.
The scholarship slight certainly didn't sit well with Booker T. assistant coach Tim 'Ice' Harris, nor his father, head coach Tim 'Ice' Harris Sr.
Junior was on his Twitter account afterward:
Tim Harris JR. @IceHarris:
I'll just let it be known that Denver Kirkland had NO academic issue. So, can that rumor just go away?
Tim Harris JR. @IceHarris:
SMH [Shaking My Head] This recruiting stuff is a mess. I just hope all these kids land in the place that's best for their futures.
So how much influence will a miffed Ice Jr., and his father and head coach Tim 'Ice' Harris Sr., have on other BTW players who are considering Miami both now and in the future? Something tells me a lot. Senior Ice knows the system and has seen many things in this business of recruiting, but the Kirkland drama is something he obviously considers to be quite unreasonable.
Kirkland later posted to his Twitter account.
Denver Kirkland @15HARLEM_BOSKI:
After Today I Trust No One But God! Things Happen for a reason
Stay tuned.

Many Greetings from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC!
Living in DC, there is an active archaeology program on the early history within the beltway with many exciting discoveries. What is visible for the hundreds of thousands who visit the Smithsonian every year for free, though, are artifacts from the past and present of many cultures around the world. Over the decades, the Smithsonian was also actively involved in scientific excavations (Think Shanidar in Iraq in the 1950s! Think Tell Jemmeh! in the 1970s! Think the fantastic Archaeology Conservation Program!), and while being studied and researched upon, artifacts from around the world are on display to promote an understanding of responsibilties and shared cultural heritage.
In December 2010, I became Assistant Curator at the Smithsonian's Museum of Asian Art, the Freer|Sackler Gallery. Two weeks ago, we opened a small installation on Iron-Age ceramics from the area south of the Caspian Sea in Northern Iran. As a curatorial intern in the Ancient Near Eastern Art Department, Sarah Johnson, co-author of this entry, who worked herself on an excavation in Syria in 2010, has helped to prepare the installation, and is currently doing research on the museum's collections. This little blurb on a well preserved vessel from Iran currently not on display (S1998.326), gives an idea on only one aspect of what we can do in a museum, and reminds us upon one aspect of archaeology, minutely and more detailed record keeping and publishing.
It is both ironic and fitting that a photograph, we only recently rediscovered in the archives of archaeologist and early Iran explorer Ernst Herzfeld (1879-1948) sheds light on vessel S1998.326. Thanks to an early fine pencil label "Tepe Giyan" written on the back of the photograph, the jar can now placed with certainty to the site of Tepe Giyan, a large archaeological mound in Northwestern Iran near the modern city of Nahavand.
The jar had entered the museum in 1998. It was purchased by Victor and Takako Hauge in a shop at a Bazaar in Tehran between 1962 and 1965. Interestingly, Herzfeld came by his first Tepe Giyan ceramics in nearly the same way. In his own words: "In 1926 I found, in a shop at Hamadan … two little vases … They had a prehistoric air, but the dealer did not know whence they came. Mere chance, a year later, led to the discovery of their provenance—Tepe Giyan near Nihawand—whence some more pieces were brought to me." Just as Herzfeld used older excavation records to identify his vases, "mere chance" led us to discover this photograph of a vessel, acquired by the Hauges, in Herzfeld's records a few weeks ago. The vessel and its connection to Herzfeld underline the important connection between archaeology, objects and archives in a museum setting. The gap in provenance for this vessel resulted from the separation of the vessel from the excavation photographs and a paucity of published materials on Herzfeld's own work at Tepe Giyan and at other prehistoric sites.
The site of Tepe Giyan presented challenges from the start of excavations there. Herzfeld first became interested in the site after finds from Tepe Giyan appeared in the market. The French held a monopoly over excavations in Iran from 1895 to 1927, but in 1928 motivated by rampant looting occurring there, Herzfeld began hurried excavations at Tepe Giyan. In 1930, he mentions that excavations (he does not provide the name of the excavators, so one must assume it was local archaeologists) have left only one third of the hill standing. This article in 1930 remained his only published material on Tepe Giyan until the 1930s when he suggested in the preface of Archaeological History of Iran that he would complete a three volume work on prehistoric art in Iran. This work never appeared largely because of political reasons. In the 1930s, Herzfeld was increasingly shunned by his German colleagues due to the rise of Nazism, and as a result, he lost much of his German funding. His section on prehistoric art in Iran in the Ancient East (1941) remains his most comprehensive contribution to the study of Tepe Giyan and prehistoric ceramics. His emphasis on his exhaustive editing of the prehistoric section in the introduction to this book suggests that he had more to say on prehistoric Iran, which was unfortunately never published. Fortunately, the site was excavated in the early 1930s by a French team lead by Georges Contenau (1877-1964) and Roman Ghirshman (1895-1979), who later received a Freer Gold Medal for his accomplishments in Iranian archaeology. Most of what we know today about the early excavations at Tepe Giyan stems from the published excavation records of Contenau and Ghirshman.
While we can now place S1998.326 at the Tepe Giyan site, one of the many questions we may not able to answer is how the vessel get to the Tehran Bazaar of the 1960s. Herzfeld often photographed and documented objects not from his own excavations so it is possible that he saw this object in Tehran or at a market of a neighboring town to the site. Evidence that he sold many of the seals found at Tepe Giyan and other prehistoric sites to a dealer in New York suggests the possibility that Herzfeld himself may have sold the jar. Difficult to fathom today, archaeologists often played the role of both the collector and the scholar in the early 20th century. The rediscovery of a single photograph is sometimes a testament to the benefits of the recording of artifacts in minute detail.

Overfill Prevention
Addressing the most significant risk of your storage tank
One of the most significant risks at facilities that store hazardous liquids is an overfill event. The severity of an overfill event may be high due to health and safety issues or environmental damages – followed by fines and lawsuits. The worst-case scenario may be a vapor cloud explosion causing devastation and offending the company. In joint response to recent overfill events, the industry developed the API/ANSI Standard 2350 – a totally new requirement related to safety management systems.
Prevent overfills with an independent and diverse system
As a result of recent incidents and in order to ensure safe functionality, systematic overhauls to overfill prevention systems have taken place. In order to meet the highest safety standards, independent and diverse Overfill Prevention Systems are used.

The Slow Death of a Former Breakfast Table Star
Picture an American family at the breakfast table. Now remove the pitcher of orange juice.
Once a morning staple, orange juice is on the outs. Total U.S. retail sales of the juice fell to the lowest level in at least 15 years during the 2012-13 season, according to Nielsen data published by the Florida Department of Citrus on Monday.
Americans bought just 563.2 million gallons of the beverage during the season that ended on Sept. 28, the lowest since at least the 1998-99 season, the oldest data available from the FDOC.
Analysts have said that a greater variety of beverages, including more exotic fruits like acai, and energy drinks have taken market share away from orange juice. Prices have also soared.
The spread of citrus greening, a disease that chokes off nutrients to fruit and causes them to drop prematurely from the tree, has reduced U.S. orange supplies and helped drive up prices. Ten years ago, the average price for a gallon of orange juice was $4.40 a gallon. Today, it's $6.20.
Investors are souring on the juice as well. Open interest, or the number of outstanding positions in the market, fell to a 20-year low of 14,892 Friday, data from the ICE Futures U.S. exchange showed Monday. That's the smallest open interest in the market since Oct. 27, 1992.
"It's a bit frightening, really—these two data points, one being the open interest and one being the consumption," said James Cordier, president of Tampa, Fla.-based brokerage Liberty Trading Group. "This is what happens before markets go off the board. Orange juice could be seeing the twilight of its contract."
The market is also suffering from a lack of news, with no government crop production forecasts due to the government shutdown, and no weather threats to the groves in No. 1 orange-producing state Florida.
Orange juice for November delivery on the ICE Futures U.S. exchange was recently 1.4% lower at $1.2470 a pound. It's on track for its lowest close since March 7.
Orange-juice futures, which began trading in 1966, once attracted a broader array of investors and juice processors, who for decades traded in rowdy pits on the floor of the New York Board of Trade in lower Manhattan. The contract was immortalized in the 1983 movie "Trading Places," in which Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy foil a plot by the Duke brothers to corner the frozen orange-juice market.
Although the Dukes may be down for the count, don't cry for the orange-juice retailers, which include beverage giants Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. Revenue from orange juice sales has been more resilient than sales by volume, thanks to rising prices for the beverage.
Orange juice retail sales for the 2012-13 season totaled $3.49 billion, down just 5.2% from 10 years ago, as consumers buy less of the juice at a higher price point. Sales by volume, on the other hand, have dropped by a third over the last decade.
