I N S I D ENeighborhood Surveys
"We're one of the most wired cities in the world, but there's still much we can do to bring the benefits of this technology revolution to all segments of our city." -Mayor Greg Nickels The City of Seattle's Technology Matching Fund (TMF) is embarking upon its seventh year and seeking applications. The deadline is March 8. A workshop will be held on February 9.
The fund supports projects that build capacity in technologically underserved communities. This year, in addition to projects that increase tech access and literacy, the City is encouraging projects that promote civic engagement and e-democracy. Electronic democracy is the use of info technologies to provide effective citizen input and participation in community problem solving and governance. Money for the Technology Matching Fund comes from a City assessment of cable company revenues. To learn more and download the 2004 Guidelines and 2004 Application, see the TMF site on the community technology web site, call (206) 684-0600, or send an email. The Technology Access Foundation (TAF) just got the word that they are recipients of a Magic Johnson Foundation grant. In March, TAF will open the TAF/Magic Johnson Foundation Hewlett Packard Inventor Center at their offices on Rainier Avenue and Edmunds Street. The computer lab, sponsored by Microsoft, will serve approximately 80 students in their TechStart Program each year. Mr. Johnson himself will take part in the opening during the first week of March.

Citizens will use hand-held computer technology to improve Seattle neighborhoods. Photo courtesy Fund for the City of New York and the National Center for Civic Innovation.
Seattle residents will soon have the opportunity to use hand-held technology to document and track quality of life concerns. To bring this tool to Seattle, Sustainable Seattle (S2), a local non-profit that has been working on improving quality of life and sustainability since the early 1990s, has teamed with the Fund for the City of New York, an operating foundation that created Computerized Neighborhood Environment Tracking (ComNETsm) in New York City, and its sister organization, the National Center for Civic Innovation. This technology is currently being used in a variety of cities to help citizens develop performance measures around quality of life in neighborhoods. With funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, S2 will be partnering with community members in seven to 10 Seattle neighborhoods to document, monitor, and improve quality of life over the next four years.
According to Seattle Community Technology Manager David Keyes, "This is a great community technology project that's going to strengthen neighborhoods and solve problems. We're working with Sustainable Seattle to share City of Seattle data and help ensure that the information collected by residents gets used in a meaningful way. We're exploring the use of community tech centers and public Internet terminals as data access sites."
Conducting neighborhood surveys is not a new idea. S2's Project Manager, Michelle Caulfield explains, "what is really innovative and exciting about ComNETsm is the ability to digitally record conditions by location, include photographs, and efficiently deliver findings to the appropriate city agency." Because each condition is automatically associated with a responsible agency, ComNETsm helps citizens navigate an often bureaucratic and confusing system for getting action. Through this results-oriented technology, S2 hopes to attract citizens who have historically been less involved in their community. The group is also hoping to engage neighborhood teens in the project – the next generation of community leaders. In cities like Worcester, MA and Hartford, CT, neighborhood youth are working side by side with community leaders to learn how to bring about positive neighborhood change.
ComNETsm is easy to use. Community volunteers can be trained in just a few hours to use hand-held computers to record conditions. Digital cameras attached to the computer provide another way for information to be documented. Once field data is collected, the information is then uploaded to a website maintained by the Fund for the City of New York, where authorized users can almost instantaneously produce high quality reports of the findings. These reports can be used to help community members understand the range of neighborhood concerns and better understand which agency is responsible for a problem. Neighborhood groups can also use these reports to outline priorities and develop strategies for both citizens and government to make the necessary improvements.
ComNETsm planning has already begun in Capitol Hill, Greenwood/Phinney Ridge, and North Beacon Hill. The first round of surveys in these three neighborhoods will occur in April. For more information about Sustainable Seattle's work to develop performance measures to track quality of life in Seattle, please email Deborah Kuznitz or visit Sustainable Seattle's website.
The Puget Sound Alliance for Community Technology (PSACT) and area community tech centers (CTCs) have launched a drive to help low-income families and individuals use the web to get tax money back through the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and to file their taxes online. For a list of participating sites and more information, go to the EITC page on our tech web. Puget Sound organizations interested in participating or that want promotional materials should contact PSACT at (206) 850-1502, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The EITC is a $32 billion program that provides tax reductions and wage supplements for low-income working families. Many who are eligible for the EITC do not know about it, and do not know how to claim it. Low-income taxpayers may be eligible for up to $4,204 when they file for the EITC. Thousands of families are eligible but never claim the money. The icanefile.org site helps clients claim the credit easily and for free. Most other tax services charge for tax preparation and filing for the EITC.
Anyone can use icanefile.org if they have access to an online computer. Staff at the PSACT participating sites have been trained to guide and empower clients to use the system. Online computers are available for use at community technology centers and the Seattle Public Libraries. Click on the "centers" link above to locate one near you. Your help is needed in getting the word out to the community.
The I-CAN! web site is easy to use. Simple questions are asked and a person appears on video to provide instruction. The questions are available in Spanish or English, and the application fills out the form in English.
E-filing speeds up refunds and also ensures that families get all the money they deserve. Filers should be alerted to loan scams. Many low-income families commonly fall victim to high priced "Refund Anticipation Loans" (RALs), offered by most commercial tax preparation offices. While these loans speed an advanced payment to a worker by a few weeks, families lose needed money in fees.
The Wilderness Technology Alliance has just announced a program that will provide refurbished Pentium II computers to every low-income household with a K-12 student in Washington State. Half of the computers will be distributed via high schools trained in the program and half via social services. WorkSource, HeadStart, and other social service agencies will determine those recipients. The program also includes a three-hour training class. Advanced students serve as classroom teachers and community technology support specialists. For more info, see wildtech.org.
CTCNet is seeking individuals in the Seattle area to assist in the producion of the 13th Annual CTCNet Conference, to be held June 11-13, 2004 (with pre-conference activity June 10) at the DoubleTree Hotel Seattle-Airport. This is an exciting opportunity to help design the leading national event in Community Technology, to ensure that CTCNet members and others in Seattle are well-represented at the conference and to showcase your programs and communities for a national audience.
CTCNet is assembling a volunteer planning committee to be led by a committee chair. They will be hiring a Seattle-based conference coordinator and a committee chair. If you are interested in being on the committee or applying for the jobs, contact Stephen Quinn at CTCNet at firstname.lastname@example.com. Here are links to the jobs and committee description.

Best Uses
I bought this kit when I bought my heat gun about 4 years ago. I use the gun buy itself most often, but when I need to do something a bit unusual the tools in the kit come in handy. I believe it was money well spent.

Di Canio: Now lets fly away from the rest (From Swindon Advertiser)

Di Canio: Now lets fly away from the rest
6:30am Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in Sport By Gary Rose
PAOLO Di Canio wants his 'warriors' to now take off and fly away from the rest of League Two after Swindon moved top of the standings for the first time since the start of the season with a battling 2-1 victory over Shrewsbury last night.
Perhaps feeling the weight of expectation, Town were distinctly off key in the first half and could have few arguments when Matt Richards gave Shrewsbury the lead shortly before the break.
But Di Canio's substitutions in the second half changed the game in Swindon's favour with Alan Connell adding bite to the attack while Simon Ferry brought much-needed creativity to midfield.
Connell equalised just after the hour and the striker then grabbed the winner with 16 minutes remaining to secure a vital three points that not only moved Swindon into first place, but also give themselves a four-point cushion inside the automatic promotion places.
"We have taken off, we are top and now we must fly away," said Di Canio.
"My players were warriors yesterday and we know we have done well up to now, but the road is long, there are 16 or so games to go and many teams around us.
"Obviously to be top with two games in hand is a good position because if you win those then you can extend the gap between ourselves and fourth place.
"After that is done then we can think about achieving more, like claiming the title."
From the outset it was clear that Swindon were far from at their best as they struggled to connect passes or create anything of note in the final third.
Luke Rooney flicked a header harmlessly wide from Matt Ritchie's ball into the box but it was the visitors who perhaps had the best chance of the early stages when Joe Jacobson's fierce drive warmed the hands of Wes Foderingham.
That was to be as exciting as things got as half time approached, although the visitors were looking the most likely to get a goal and had a good chance just after the half hour when a flowing attack ended with Mark Wright having a clear sight of goal, but the winger sidefooted over the bar.
However, Shrewsbury were ahead in the 40th minute when Wright whipped in a corner that the unmarked Richards rose to meet and the midfielder flicked a header beyond Foderingham. The goal was the first the Town keeper had conceded in a league match at the County Ground since joining back in October.
After such a poor first half it was of little surprise that Di Canio made a change at the start of the second half, bringing on Connell for Billy Bodin.
But Swindon could count themselves very lucky not to be further behind seven minutes after the restart.
Terry Gornell was sent through on goal and the striker tumbled in the area when under close attention by Alan McCormack but, fortunately for the hosts, the referee waved away calls for a penalty.
Swindon continued to struggle to compete though and just two minutes later they had Foderingham to thank for preventing Shrewsbury effectively killing off the game when he made a great block from Wright's close-range shot before James Collins shot wide when the loose ball fell to the striker.
The industrious pairing of Jonathan Smith and Lee Cox was clearly not working and Di Canio opted to introduce the creativity of Simon Ferry for the former just before the hour.
The Scot's arrival sparked a revival from the home side and out of nothing they were level with 64 minutes on the clock.
Ritchie hit a speculative effort from distance that Shrews keeper Chris Neal compounded to spill straight to Connell, who gleefully stabbed home from close range.
The goal caused the confidence to suddenly return to the Town players while it clearly sapped out of the Shrewsbury players and the home side embarked on wave after wave of attacks.
And amazingly they took the lead with just over 15 minutes remaining when Rooney launched a superb strike from outside the box that struck the underside of the crossbar and Connell again showed his predatory instincts to scramble the loose ball home.
That strike visibly deflated Shrewsbury and ultimately it was a comfortable final quarter-of-an-hour as Town defended well to wind down the clock and secure victory.
The League Two table now makes for very pleasant reading, and Di Canio has urged the Swindon fans to get fully behind the players and cheer them on throughout their push for the title.
"I am not criticising my fans but there was a moment when I could hear a few boos (against Shrewsbury), but I want to tell the fans to keep supporting the players," he added. "They can blame Paolo Di Canio if things are not going well, but a bad day can happen for even Barcelona.
"So I want to say help them through any difficult moment in a game. I can understand sometimes the frustration but it is not easy to always play our football. Please don't expect 4-0 or 5-0 and fantastic football every game.
"It is not a criticism because overall the stadium was fantastic again but I ask you to keep calm and put all your support behind the players."

About Attachment Parenting International
The simple truth is that when we strengthen families, we nurture and fulfill our children's need for trust, respect, and affection, and ultimately provide a lifelong foundation for healthy, enduring relationships.
API promotes parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents. For life. So they can take those bonds with them into their adult lives and share them with their children. And their children can do the same. A life cycle of compassion and connection.
Through education, support, advocacy and research, our principal goal is to heighten global awareness of the profound significance of secure attachment - not only to invest in our children's bright futures, but to reduce and ultimately prevent emotional and physical mistreatment of children, addiction, crime, behavioral disorders, mental illness, and other outcomes of early unhealthy attachment.

Further progress requires starting to desolder the Heroine 2200 boards. That was the 1st robot. The ages from 25-30 were spent purely devoted to that 1 thing, while everyone else was clubbing & getting married.
Heroine 2200 would still be a working robot, with new electronics. She was very unreliable with the old electronics, but modern vision systems & high bandwidth I/O could give her the accuracy to do the job.
There isn't a rationale for an automated method of organizing media. A human can get up & change it much faster than a machine.
For another sonar recap, built up a send & receive test jig. The transducers do 24.5khz.
The sampling rate was a killer in the original. The original did 74khz. The oscilloscope does 130khz with 2 channels & 266 khz with 1 channel, still getting a lot of aliasing. The oscilloscope has a lot of quantization when using 2 channels & aliasing, even at 130khz.
There's no obvious problem with the LM324 preamp. The problem with sonar is the transducer doesn't start up instantly. The background noise is manely echos. A cheap ARM doing the full signal processing at a high sampling rate will be cheaper than an analog system.
Jack you really are Brilliant the rest of us sit in Awe! I a familiar with under water Sonar where the Fluid acts basically like a solid and there is echoes and re echoes " Noise " In air the amplitude would have to be turned up or the beam focused into a point to get a accurate reading . why not a miniature forward looking low frequency raster scan radar? tied to auto pilot? don't Know? Just throwing it out there? Have a Good day!

Marina, a young woman living near Varese, Italy, stood chatting with her neighbors one day two years ago when she suddenly dropped to the floor, clutching her chest. People around her panicked. But after a seemingly endless second, a violent spasm shook her body and Marina awakened. She was shocked but alive and well.
For doctors at the local hospital, the diagnosis was easy: Marina had suffered from ventricular fibrillation, a potentially lethal block of the heart muscle. After a quick checkup, she returned to her normal life. But this was no miracle: Marina survived because she was aware of a defect in her heart and took the necessary precautions.
Indeed, years before, two of her sisters had died from a rare inherited disease called stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VTSIP). People with this disease are at risk of fibrillation at any moment but especially after physical or emotional stress. Standard exams, such as an electrocardiogram, are usually unable to reveal the condition, but a genetic test can.
"VTSIP is caused by mutations in a gene called Ryr-2 that regulates the electric activity of the heart," says Silvia Priori, a cardiologist at the Maugeri Foundation in Pavia, Italy, who discovered the genetic alteration together with colleagues about three years ago. When doctors performed the gene test on Marina¿s DNA, they discovered that she carried the defective form of the gene. "Her risk of a having a heart attack was high," Priori says--"about 70 percent" during her lifetime.
So before any life-threatening symptoms could appear, Marina and another sister, who also tested positive, had miniature automatic defibrillators implanted in their chests. When Marina's heart fibrillated in front of her neighbors, the lifesaving device was able to jump-start the organ. An ambulance, and a regular defibrillator, would have probably arrived too late.
Know Your Genes, Save Your Life
Marina¿s story is an extreme example of a gene test that made a difference between life and death. But like Marina, hundreds of people around the world take advantage of genetic testing to detect and alter the course of various disorders. For example, hereditary hemochromatosis, or "iron disease," causes a slow accumulation of iron in many organs. Among Caucasians, it affects about 1 in 300 people, resulting in liver damage, diabetes and impotence after their 40s or 50s. Genetic testing can spot the disease in children or young adults before symptoms appear, and regular bloodletting can then prevent the condition's consequences.
The use of predictive gene tests is still limited to a handful of relatively rare and highly hereditary diseases. But that scenario is about to change: scientists in academic and corporate laboratories are tirelessly digging through human DNA to find genetic variations that make individuals susceptible to common diseases, including Alzheimer¿s, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and stroke. Whereas today doctors calculate our risk profile for disease using a few one-size-fits-all parameters, such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure and the number of cigarettes we smoke, tomorrow they might instead consider our complex, and personalized, genetic risk pattern.
French Nobel laureate Jean Dausset was first to see the predictive value of genetic testing. "[...]medicine was, in its history, first of all curative, then preventive and finally predictive, whereas today the order is reversed: initially predictive, then preventive and finally, only in desperation, curative," he wrote. In the 1960s Dausset discovered the HLA antigens, molecules on the surface of white blood cells that are necessary for the immune response. The same antigens determine whether a transplanted organ will be rejected, which explains why it is often difficult to find a match: there are many genetically determined HLA "flavors."

Children born this year will graduate from high schools in the year 2030. With this fact in mind, TVO has launched Learning 2030, a special on-the-road series canvassing citizens and experts about the future of education. Recently featured in this series is Douglas Thomas, co-author of A New Culture of Learning. Through his lens as a cultural historian, he argues that game-changing technologies including Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, smart phones, and YouTube have transformed the way that students think, learn, and make sense of the world. Thomas argues that university instructors must make radical shifts in their teaching to reach today's students and challenge them to address tomorrow's yet unknown problems and questions. While Thomas makes many points based on what he claims are the best historical tenets of education, several ideas are particularly intriguing for university instructors. These include:
Draper and her Brigham Young University colleagues offer one innovative model for collaborative professional development among university faculty. In rethinking their own roles and practices as teacher educators, their efforts offer inspiration for other higher education faculty to envision and create new cultures of learning within their own classrooms, departments, colleges, and universities.
Terry S. Atkinson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Literacy Studies, English Education, and History Education at East Carolina University.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
Since the mid-1970s the production of renewable energy has grown steadily and has reached a stage where it currently generates 63% of Austria's electricity. Hydropower supplies the majority share and to date the other renewable energies have played a minor role. With a view to changing this balance and taking into consideration the technologies available, wind power - largely available during the winter months - could complement hydro - at its lowest during the winter.
The first wind measurements were conducted in the late 1980s, discussions regarding feed-in tariffs began in 1991 and the first funding programmes commenced in 1994. These actions brought about the first modern wind turbines in 1996.
After growing slowly during the second half of the 1990s, Austria's total installed wind capacity has been rising steadily, from 606 MW at end-2004 to 819 MW by end-2005 and 965 MW by end-2006. Europe's highest wind park was officially opened in 2003. Situated at 1 900 m, the Tauernwindpark Oberzeiring consists of 11 turbines; its total 19.25 MW capacity is expected to produce 40 GWh/yr.
Although Austria does not manufacture wind turbines, it does make important components for the world's biggest producers of wind generators.
The Eco-electricity Act (Ökostromgesetz) of July 2002 came into effect on 1 January 2003. The law's objective is to raise the share of renewables to 78.1% of Austrian electricity consumption by 2010 and the non-hydro portion (the so-called 'new renewable resources') to 4% by 1 January 2008. The Act lays down an Austria-wide uniform purchasing and payment obligation for power suppliers concerning energy from renewable sources, defined as wind, sun, global heat, hydroelectric power, biomass, landfill gas, sewer gas and biogas. The subsidies for eco-electricity are funded via an extra charge on the electricity price. The Tariff Ordinance (Tarifverordnung) to the Eco-electricity Act provides for attractive and nationally uniform feed-in tariffs for electricity from new eco-electricity plants approved up to 2004.
On 23 May 2006 the National Council adopted an amendment to the Eco-electricity Act. The Amendment envisages a 10% share of so-called new renewable resources in power production in Austria by 2010. It refers exclusively to plants to be newly established and provides for a subsidy until 2011. The annual subsidy amounts to € 17 million, of which 30% is apportioned to biogas plants, 30% to biomass plants, 30% to wind energy plants and 10% to other new renewable resources (e.g. photovoltaics). The feed-in tariffs for these plants have to be refixed every year, with tariffs becoming lower in later years. The tariff applying at the time of the conclusion of the contract applies for 10 years. In the 11th year only, 75% and in the 12th year only, 50% of the respective tariff is to be paid, but at least the market price. The Eco-electricity Amendment also lays down criteria of energy efficiency and minimum full load hours for the individual types of energy.

DFI is ready with its high-end motherboard based on the Intel X58 chipset, providing support for the Intel Core i7 processors. It features three PCI-E x16 slots, that arrange themselves into x16, x8, x8, to support ATI CrossfireX and NVIDIA SLI technologies. The board is studded with high-grade components that include a digital PWM CPU power circuit. The board provides vDroop control. It features an intricate cooling design, with blocks of aliminum fin arrays over the northbridge, and the VRM areas. The VRM cooler projects out of the case, and over the case-fan, if arranged. DFI is expected to announce this product soon. Source: Donanim Haber
I like it! I wonder how much though? Yeah that sink should be removable otherwise it would be really hard to put it in a case and install an I/O shield.
They were removable in the original concept for previous mobo's. Here is the kicker tho, it goes on through the I/O shild and is cooled by the rear 120mm case fan usually. So in essence, you will never see it anyways!
I read price would be min $300, since its the UT I would say close to $400. frankly dfi boards are not worth the premium. :shadedshu Had it, like asus better.
this board will be available at www.motherboardpro.com on December 15th. my guy at MBP has confirmed this.
I love DFI boards but I hate that rear heatsink. I always go DFI when I can. Id actually consider a DFI LP P45 just to see how my X3350 would fare on it. Wonder if it would get as high or higher than my Asus.
I think that will be my x58 board. I don't see anything wrong with that heatsink, since you'll never see it, and I bet it's effective.
Just to answer the heatsink questions. Im sure its removable. You would install the board in your case. Then mount the heat sink which will stick out of the back of your case. Then mount the I/O shield. Its actaully a good idea, what its doing is "passively" directing the heat out of your case. GOOD IDEA, because I know on my Maximus, the monster heatsink looks cool, but the heat is staying in the case.
Funny how they call the Vdroop control. Another marketing trick putting a simple feature as stable voltage for the CPU into a super feature that you can enable in BIOS and become a "better" overclocker.
I quite like the colour scheme tbh, bit too bright, but I wouldn't be able to resist in wanting to powder coat the heatsinks to the same green or a similar one just so that it all matches. ^^
Agreed, the green slots are too green, they could use the green shade EVGA uses, but I guess those gaudy colours are UV-reactive, and hence bright.
LOL. I've heard so many complaints about the colors that DFI uses on their boards. It cracks me up for 2 reasons. I want performance, and I don't give a damn if the board is pink and orange. If it performs well, it simply does not matter to me the color. I'm also "color deficient". Basically, this means that I can see most primary colors, but my eyes can't distinguish between shades, so the shade of green or yellow on boards really means nil to me.

Economists who have ventured into the alleged real world often quote Princeton's Alan Blinder, who has formulated what he calls ''Murphy's Law of economic policy'': ''Economists have the least influence on policy where they know the most and are most agreed; they have the most influence on policy where they know the least and disagree most vehemently.'' It's flip and cynical, but it's true.
Consider, on one side, really tough issues -- where there are plausible arguments on both sides, where nobody really knows how to measure the tradeoffs. Should Microsoft be broken up and, if so, how? Should Britain adopt the euro? Let's ask the economists! And those economists who are prepared to express strong opinions on such inherently ambiguous questions command rapt attention.
On the other side, consider an article that appeared in yesterday's New York Times, ''In San Francisco, Renters Are Supplicants.'' It was an interesting piece, with its tales of would-be renters spending months pounding the pavements, of dozens of desperate applicants arriving at a newly offered apartment, trying to impress the landlord with their credentials. And yet there was something crucial missing -- specifically, two words I knew had to be part of the story.

I've played block of redemption -- program -- look Greg Gutfeld of Fox News sources unknown says his own show little red -- which is enormously popular.
And then even more popular is -- five which also stars -- Bob Beckel.
And -- and a woman in Modesto woman enough to -- fill -- -- far along I did have surgery and me and Eric Bolling the Pentagon announcing.
-- -- -- -- -- -- There's a New York Times Russell has been for almost a month about three weeks right -- -- on -- not bad little what -- surprise you know.
I don't know I think the message is pretty.
These fake these fake outrage stories are every -- -- happening all the time so I think it's kind of it was right.
Even if I don't have been following the but does does women that were up.
Upset because of their on the receipt at the bar it's that they were fat did you see this in our children -- -- it's a great story these women.
We're seated at a restaurant the bartender wrote down fat girls on -- because that was his way of identifying them which is a stupid thing to do because -- insulting the patrons and you don't do that.
The women claimed to be emotionally scarred -- that we live -- that we live in a culture now where you can be emotionally scarred permanently scarred by words.
That's what this book is about is that people -- date the actually diminish true outraged by trumping up phony outrage.
In a -- -- -- is Nordstrom intentional and don't -- the pendulum.
The splinter of what you're an analysis yes -- -- -- parents -- -- I don't know though you know I I I think you can only really be scarred by actual physical things don't -- I think like you know their people around the world that suffer from injustice.
But the real scarring yeah women being scarred in Islamic countries -- so when I watch news -- on ABC talking about how this will was scarred by being called overweight.
It was mean.
But it's not scarring.
I have a problem when he when they when they exaggerate the meaning of words just say that it was bad to deal with the guys getting reprimanded that you lost its job.
Police say it's something that scarring that bugs me.
Will there people we can talk about that's all morning and we're not going to -- diverted them from archer -- yes I don't I talked about it.
Which by the way there are brilliant -- as I've read all -- -- Q but they are not patronizing -- yet but this wonderfully well.
-- regard to NAFTA right -- yeah I try to get him to do something but he was busy running and an MS clever ideas so they should give us -- This our allies agreed -- for the holidays.
If you think it is under debt.
They -- by regular books.
There's you have to read all the way through -- you don't have to reduce all the way through secular and just you know you're just open up.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I timed the length of each -- to the time one -- in -- bathroom and -- -- minutes.
It's true that on average yes it took -- -- thousand attempts to get it right -- -- Reuters the Warren Christmas there's no -- and there is there's a war on fun now generally the people that are like -- angry about Christmas or just people who are miserable but they're I don't wouldn't call -- a war I'd call an attack -- -- -- -- -- the guys that -- throughout the Charlie Brown Christmas -- in Arkansas.
How do you celebrate that like when you're done when you -- when it's what's yes we -- to Charlie Brown would of those people do paid.
Let's go have a good year.
We had killed Charlie Brown what do they do what I mean is -- there's no fun there's no fun for these people.
And I think that's it's it's it's not about religion it's something else it's something about I'm misery loves misery.
Now 10 apologized and yet they're getting here on lent.
That's okay but you -- late because of -- -- for your body you know I don't know -- yeah living like you're laughing about but -- its ally -- would that be why won't they won't -- why is -- light because of the disease these these elongated Christmas stories that we've been hearing about all morning.
I -- -- are present -- and it was an alcoholic and a -- I.
Hello my Obama's cynicism of the cancers grow well just give credit markets werewolves -- actual -- access droning on about idiotic sporting events -- -- -- Well -- off -- -- American -- afternoon or whatever you celebrate.
Yeah I don't know what I celebrate I'm -- -- corporate book I would look people to come on -- -- agreement Waco Plano this Saturday sending many Waco Plano Katy Texas Beaumont.

An Adams County man died from head trauma after crashing a motorcycle Saturday afternoon in Adams County, York County Chief Deputy Coroner Claude Stabley said.
Matthew Sanders, 22, of the 1300 block of Carlisle Pike in Conewago Township, was riding westbound on Stone Bridge Road in Mount Pleasant Township when he failed to negotiate a curve.
His motorcycle crossed into the eastbound lane and went off the road, according to state police in Gettysburg. Sanders then struck a dirt embankment with his front tire and was thrown from the motorcycle about 3:30 p.m., police said.
Sanders, who was not wearing a helmet, was flown to York Hospital by medical helicopter and was pronounced dead at 5:20 p.m., Stabley said.

What interests me about this picture is catching a glimpse of senators talking among themselves, not standing at a podium.

Great course! I really liked the self directed lessons.
With my increased knowledge of development, I will approach patients differently. I will speak to each patient with a new understanding of where they are in their development.
This was a very informative class and I enjoyed learning in this forum.
I will take into consideration the age differences and the different levels of maturity and development when dealing with a patient.
Great course! Definitely recommended!
This course has been very beneficial in showing me that though I may know facts, it can be helpful to be personable with my clients as well.
This was a very positive experience.
Now I will be more culturally aware of my clients needs. I will take into account that they have different beliefs and customs than me and not judge them for that. Also, I will be more understanding to clients that are suffering hardship.
I will think about my interactions and conversations with children in the field differently. It will help me reframe how to ask appropriate questions and give appropriate feedback.
Communicating with the patient has always been key to excellent patient care. This course underscores the importance of hearing my patient's needs in every stage of his life span, while having a keen understanding of his/her growth and development.

NEW BALTIMORE, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say an upstate New York man driving the wrong way on the Thruway crashed into a minivan, killing himself and a Canadian woman in the other vehicle.
State police say the crash occurred around 1 a.m. Friday in the southbound lanes of Interstate 87 in the Greene County town of New Baltimore, 15 miles south of Albany.
Troopers say 43-year-old Julian With of Coxsackie was driving north in the southbound lanes when he collided head-on with a minivan driven by 39-year-old Karen Weller of Hamilton, Ontario.
With and 50-year-old Carol Dion of Stony Creek, Ontario were pronounced dead at the scene.
Weller and her 4-month-old baby, Tajaye, were being treated at Albany Medical Center. Their conditions weren't immediately available.
The highway's southbound lanes were closed until 5:30 a.m.

I maintain a *very* small cluster (4 nodes, 6 CPUs) of 666MHz Alphas. They are in fairly heavy use still since for 2 reasons: 1) They (still!) perform reasonably well (comparable to 1.6Ghz P4s) for the code they run, and 2) lack of other computational resources for that group, so they run wherever they can. Sadly, they still run RH7.2 (the last version released for Alphas). Were I to set them up now, I'd look at Debian or Gentoo as a distribution. -- Jesse Becker GPG-fingerprint: BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hunting and Conservation: A Personal Perspective
July 25, 2013
| 1
Hunting is often a contentious issue among conservationists. Some are avid hunters and others think it's an outdated practice. As with so many issues, this is often as much about values as science. Here, the Conservancy's Mike Palmer weighs in with his own story of hunting and conservation. What do you think? Is hunting scientifically justified?

Beat Inertia and Start Your New Project Today! by Alexandra Levit - Jan, 2011 As busy managers, we're often so overwhelmed by a mountain of daily tasks that we never get around to starting the projects that will propel our careers and benefit the organization in the long-term.

Emotions - The Secret Sauce of Leadership by Dr. Maynard Brusman - Jan, 2011 I'm often surprised when I walk into a client's organization by the eerie silence. Employees are busy working on their computers, but there is very little interaction. One of my lawyer executive coaching clients confided in me this week, that when she brings her little girl to the office hardly anybody even says hello to her child. The law firm mission statement touts the value of work-life balance if there is such a thing,... |
60 Seconds of Networking Advice by Rosa Elizabeth Vargas - Jan, 2011 You've heard it before, "Network in order to optimize your job search." How exactly do you go about it?

Emotionally Astute Leadership – Create a Clear Vision by Dr. Maynard Brusman - Jan, 2011 My most inspiring executive coaching leadership clients know the "why" of their mission and vision.

One of my law firm Managing Partner clients recently confided that he was struggling to convince several of the partners on a new vision for the firm. H... |

Does your resume dwell in the past or does it focus on your future? by Tom Albano - Jan, 2011 To succeed in today's intensely competitive job market, your resume cannot simply dwell on your past job responsibilities. Instead, it must project into the future by providing prospective employers with a sneak preview of what they can expect from you as an employee. How do you do this? By making strong assertions about your strengths and capabilities and backing them up with solid accomplishments. Any tennis play... |
Keeping Your Resume Fresh by Caitlin McNally - Jan, 2011 Returning to the job hunt can be a difficult adjustment. It can be especially challenging when it has been many years since you last updated your resume. Just as technological and clothing trends go out of style; your resume can quickly become outdated too. The standard resume writing advice of ten or twenty years ago is becoming obsolete today and could potentially do more harm than good for your chances of getting an inte... |
BranchOut vs. LinkedIn, and Recruiting Passive Candidates in 2011 by Lou Adler - Jan, 2011 Although there were some naysayers about my predictions for job growth in 2011 (Dec 14, 2010 ERE), it's more clear that 2011 will be banner year for professional hiring, coupled with the added impact of employee churn. Even if the prediction is somewhat premature, get ready for it anyway. What else are you going to do? With that as a backdrop, consider the impact Facebook's new career network BranchOut will have on the world... |
What does Starbucks' new logo have to do with your job search? by Miriam Salpeter - Jan, 2011 It's all the buzz in the Twittersphere – Starbucks, the legendary coffee company – is changing its logo. As you can see in the image, the most recent transformation (bottom/right) leaves off the Starbucks name and seems to try to disassociate it from its coffee roots. A Reuter's article quotes Starbucks' Chief Executive Howard Schultz as saying, "Even though we have been, and always will be, a coffee company and retailer,... |

Fighting a war is scary to most people. Most people have a fear or dying, being shot to death, being bombed at. Most people had common sense. Then there were people like Thom, who had courage; who had the bravery to do what many couldnt do, which was stand at the front line and take bullets to the chest, and still fighting forward. Thom lived every day as though it was his last. Writing letters to everyone he knew, always ending with the words I Love You, just in case that was the last of his letters his loved ones would be receiving. Hed start off every letter with, Im still here. He never made any promises but he never left his men behind. After all, what kind of Sergeant would he be if he just left his men to die every time they were ambushed?
Though Thom fought a war overseas, it was nothing compared to the personal war he fought with himself every day. Every morning when he would wake up at 4 in the morning to get on the road before they were attacked, he would question why he came in the first place. Every morning, he would doubt his reasoning for joining the Army when he was 18 and every morning he would wake up and question why he kept coming back, year after year for 13 years. That didnt make Thomas any different from the other men, except for the fact that every morning when he woke up and he doubted himself, he would give himself the same answer every time; Parker. He had a woman at home that he was in love with and that he couldnt wait to see every time he was getting ready to come home. He had a woman that he had been dating for 8 years, and he was ready to propose.
But that was before everything changed. That was before the ambush. The ambush that changed Thoms life for good. He and his crew had heard rumors of an overnight ambush so he ordered a night crawl. He and his crew would track 28 miles through the cold night desert and reach a town called Hique by the time morning hit. Sixteen miles into the overnight travel, they got hit. It was unexpected and they had no idea where the hit came from. But at that point, it didnt matter. Thom took charge as superior officer and covered his men while they took a turn for a different escape route. Of 30 men Thom was in charge of, only 18 made it out alive, Thom being one of them. Thomas was noted as a hero and was awarded a Purple Heart. Only at the cost of everything to him, his fight wouldnt make a difference.
Thom lay now on a bed, robed in sterile clothes. He stared at the ceiling with the same blank expression that hes been carrying for days now, since the accident. It had been nearly a week since his ambush that left him basically alone and dead inside. He was no longer the man he used to be. A man that was once able to hold himself steady for others had gone rouge. He now had no emotion. He was dead. Dead with a beating heart.
Sergeant, a young woman spoke softly, as not to startle Thom, who could lash out and break down any minute now. He directed his eyes towards the young nurse who aided him since he had come in. Its time. Thom nodded and let her continue to aid him. The nurse sat him up and undressed him of his hospital gown and put him into his uniform. Two of his under rank soldiers saluted him at the door before coming in and helping the nurse slide him into a wheelchair.
You get to home, Sergeant. One of his soldiers said, while wheeling him out of the room.
At what cost, Private? He spoke sullenly.
The ride from the base to the airport was a short, awkwardly quiet one. No one spoke. No one dared to say anything. The man had just witnessed half of his squad get shot down and bombed out. He had just gotten out of the hospital after lying there, drugged up on morphine half the time. No one wanted to be the cause of his aggressive break down, so no one said anything. Though when he was boarded onto his flight home, he was saluted, thanked and wished luck for the rest of his endeavors. Though only Thomas knew, he had no other endeavors. Everything he knew, everything he lived for, was gone.
The flight back home was a long one.
Meanwhile in the US
As they waited for Thomas flight to arrive, they paced back in forth in front of the baggage claim area. That was the pick-up area. No one was allowed to pass that area as they impatiently waited for their loved ones to arrive safe and well, anxious with anticipation with the news they bore from their trip. Parker waited alongside Thoms parents and his sister. They all waited anxiously as they waited for the announcement that the private flight for the US Army arrived. They knew he had been in an accident and they knew he had been injured, as a result of him coming home, they just didnt know the extent of the injuries and they didnt know exactly what had happened while he was in the Middle East.
But before they knew it, theyd find out. On the prompter, the arrival of Flight 238 US Army had just been announced and Thom would depart the flight in just a few minutes. He was terrified as to how they would respond to the incident. Thom and a few of his men breezed past customs and they made their way to the elevator to go down towards baggage claim. Parker and Thoms family paced near the escalator, anxiously waiting for Thom to come down. He never did.
The elevator! Thoms younger sister, Cara, called out. They all turned to see Thom being pushed out of the elevator in a wheel chair by one of his squad soldiers.
Thom, Parker whispered to herself, a tear breaking its way out of a dry eye and down a make-up patted cheek.
Everyone froze in place when they saw the extent of his injury.
Thom His sister said, your
Thom let loose of tears he had been holding back. My leg. He said and looked down as more tears escaped his ducts. His parents rushed to his side, his mother hugging him and crying. His sister quietly brushing through his hair to calm him down and his father telling him everything would be alright. Everyone rushed to his side, but Parker.
Parker stood in place, frozen with both fear and shock. She didnt know what to do. She didnt know what to think. She just stood there and watched as Thoms entire family comforted her boyfriend of 8 years. And she couldnt stand to even look him in the eye.
Parker, Thom broke the silence that had surrounded her. She broke out of her spell and looked at him. Parker, were going to be okay, right?
Parker took a step back, tears turning black with make-up. Park She took a few more steps away from Thomas, put her hand over her mouth and shook her head violently as she cried.
Im sorry. Im so sorry. And with that, she turned and ran.

Palletizing robot streamlines food packing operations
Before the addition of a Motoman Robotics robot at Aliments Putter's Foods, palletizing was a drag on operational efficiency. This application article chronicles the robot's impact on facilitating the entire flow of goods on packaging lines.
"We can now take product away as fast as we can produce it," says President Alvin Goodz. "We've actually been able to hire more people for the processing line and increased production because the robot can handle higher throughput. Consequently, our unit cost has gone down."
