hi all, I've been using some homegrown code for quite a while now to farm out independent jobs (no interprocess communication required) to the nodes of a cluster. I was starting to add features and improve scalability, and I thought I would look around to see if there was something better elsewhere I could use instead, maybe with some simple front end scripts. I'd like to find out what other "embarassingly parallel" cluster users use to farm jobs out. My jobs are the fitness evaluations of the population of a single generation of a genetic algorithm optimization. Some of the features I would like are: - some way to know when a particular set of jobs (one generation of individuals in my case) is done - a way to partition the cluster so that one user gets nodes 1:N, and another user gets nodes N+1:M. - allow multiple users to share the entire cluster, while limiting the runs started on each node to that nodes memory/processor limitations. - tolerance of node failures (node goes down) or job failures (run hangs) - an open source/free solution would be preferred - process migration might be interesting to try out, but I don't think it is essential for what I'm doing. Right now I use some scripts and rsh, and I redirect the program input through rsh and either redirect the output through rsh or write remotely to an NFS mounted directory. Do the queueing systems you use require NFS? I've started looking at GNU queue, anyone have experience with it? Is there a way to tell if a set of jobs has been completed (would you have to collect PID's and check the process list continually?). MOSIX sounds interesting, but it sounds like I would still need some queueing routine. Meaning, if I have 1000 jobs and 20 processors, MOSIX won't wait for the first 20 to finish before starting another 20, right? It just tries to balance all 1000 over the cluster. thanks for any input! bill -- Bill Comisky bcomisky at pobox.com

HIV/AIDS 14th annual inter high school debate |
Thursday, 02 February 2012 10:43 | |||
Local youth got a chance to have their say on the ongoing threat of HIV/AIDS when the National AIDS Program/HIV Prevention Unit hosted its 14th annual HIV/AIDS Inter High School debate. Under the theme "Getting to zero, Community participation towards Eradication," six schools participated at the Felix Morley Community Center on Jan. 26th: British West Indies Collegiate, Champions for Christ, Helena Jones Robinson High School, Maranatha High School, Marjorie Basden High School and Turks and Caicos Institute for Professional Studies (TCIPS) Comprehensive High School. The moot debated "Be it resolved: It is the Community's Civic Duty to participate in the Eradication of HIV." This year's winning school was the TCIPS Comprehensive School, followed by Helena Jones Robinson High in second place and the Marjorie Basden High School in third place. The Best Speaker award went to Tochukwu Otuonye of the Helena Jones Robinson High School. "The National AIDS Program/HIV Prevention Unit would like to thank the judges and time keeper of the debate, the markers and judges of the essay and poster competition for their contribution to making World AIDS day celebrations a success, we could not have done it without you," said AIDS Coordinator Aldora Robinson. "Finally, in reaching the masses we could not do it without Radio Turks and Caicos, WIV and PTV, thank you for your support, partnership and commitment to assisting us in bringing HIV/AIDS awareness to the TCI. Thanks also to the listening audience remember, we each have a responsibility in reducing the impact of HIV on our society. Zero tolerance of discrimination as we get to zero new infections and zero AIDS related deaths." Other sponsors included Digicel, LIME, Scotia Bank, Kishco, AIDS Awareness Foundation, Circle G food Store, Kiwanis, A1 Business Machine and the National Youth Department. Essay winners

Abstract: The distribution of selected soil properties, selected woody vegetation properties, and land use in a lunette dune-pan system were investigated in the Sekoma area, which is located within the IGBP Kalahari Transect (KT) in Botswana. KT was established by the IGBP for studies focusing on both regional and global environmental changes. The study showed that the lunette dune-pan system exhibited substantial spatial heterogeneity in the distribution of the selected soil attributes. This limited the extent to which variation in the investigated vegetation characteristics could be explained on the basis of soil resources distribution. Encroacher plant species were found to be prevalent in the sites that were subjected to higher land use pressure. The study concluded that land use, particularly browsing, was the principal environmental driver and had precedence over the distribution of the selected soil attributes in relation to woody plant properties in the lunette dune-pan system.

Abstract: Import of a huge proportion of electrical energy from the Southern African Power Pool, and the geographical location and population distribution of Botswana stimulated the need to consider renewable energy as an alternative to imported power. The paper describes a systematic experimental study on a mini-solar chimney system. Particular attention is given to measurements of air velocity, temperature and solar radiation. The results for the selected 5 and 6 clear days of October and November, respectively, are presented. These results enable the relationship between average insolation, temperature difference and velocity for selected clear days to be discussed.

Abstract: Lack of access to electricity grid form the main challenge facing majority of developing regions particularly in rural communities. The situation is driven mostly by the absence of electricity infrastructure in most of the developing countries particularly in rural communities. A number of developing countries are now encouraging the use of solar home systems in isolated areas. Botswana is not immune to this trend. Consequently, available evidence puts the overall contribution of solar energy to primary energy supply in Botswana to less than 1%. A plethora of factors are responsible for inhibiting rapid development of solar home systems in isolated areas in Botswana. Some major impediments often cited as causing low use of solar home systems by rural communities in Botswana include, among others, the following: (i) Low-income status of most rural inhabitants. (ii) Migration of house-owners from village status to lands, or cattle posts. This paper, therefore, analyses factors that impede the rapid development of photovoltaics power generation systems in rural environments in Botswana. The analysis is based on photovoltaic power generation pilot project which was carried out in three (3) villages in Botswana, namely Kudumatse, Lorolwana and Motlhabaneng.

Abstract: In many African countries, including Botswana, the driving schools and instruction given to pupils are uncontrolled. Thus, this paper presents the results of an investigation into the level of professional training offered by the driving schools in Gaborone. A total of 400 randomly selected drivers completed questionnaires on their training, accident records, and L-tests. Male trainee drivers received more instruction than females, and there was some indication that the pass rate on L-tests was lower for female drivers. Also, the pickup van forms the majority of the national vehicle population. It accounts for almost 40% of the accidents but is presently not used for training in the commercial driving schools. It is concluded that the quality of professional instruction in driving schools needs improvement so that learners can be encouraged to take training from these institutes.

Abstract: Against a background discussion of the concept and general purpose of education, this article examines some key issues in African traditional education, namely its philosophical foundations, content and methods, strengths and weaknesses. The philosophical foundations of African traditional education are the five principles of preparationism, functionalism, communalism, perennialism and holisticism. We have highlighted the physical, social and spiritual content of African traditional education and the practical method of teaching and learning. The strengths and weaknesses of African traditional education are discussed and the attention of readers directed to possible areas for further study.

Abstract: This paper focused on the positive stereotypes junior secondary school students have of nationalities outside Africa. In addition, the paper examined the sources of the positive stereotypes as perceived by the students while implications were drawn for teacher education. A sample of 105 students matched some positive stereotypes to some nationalities, using the Princeton Trilogy. According to the findings, ten nationalities appeared mostly when the positive attributes such as scientifically-minded, intelligent, industrious, efficient, sportsmanlike, democratic, straightforward, alert, pleasure-loving and patriotic were matched by the students with various nationalities from their perceptions. The sources of information of these positive stereotypes were attributed by the students to the Internet, stories, television programmes, textbooks, friends, newspapers, radio, teachers' interaction, and other minor sources in that order. Some implications were drawn from the findings for teaching and teacher education which included the effective teaching of decision making processes, diversity through multicultural education, and the globalization of the teacher education programmes across the world.

Abstract: Events induced by deep gold-mining activity on the edge of the Witwatersrand basin dominate the seismicity of South Africa. The deployment of 54 broad-band seismic stations at 84 separate locations across southern Africa between April 1997 and April 1999 (Kaapvaal network) enabled the seismicity of South Africa to be better defined over a 2-year period. Seismic events located by the South African national network, and by localized seismic networks deployed in mines or across goldmining areas, were used to evaluate earthquake location procedures and to show that the Kaapvaal network locates mininginduced tremors with an average error of 1.56 ± 0.10 km compared with 9.50 ± 0.36 km for the South African network. Travel times of seismic events from the mines recorded at the Kaapvaal network indicate regional variations in the thickness of the crust but no clearly resolved variations in seismic wavespeeds in the uppermost mantle. Greater average crustal thicknesses (48–50 km compared with 41–43 km) are observed in the northern parts of the Kaapvaal craton that were affected by the Bushveld magmatism at 2.05 Ga. Estimates of average crustal thickness for the southern part of the Kaapvaal craton from receiver functions (38 km) agree well with those from refracted arrivals from mining-induced earthquakes if the crustal thicknesses below the sources are assumed to be 40–43 km. In contrast, the average crustal thickness inferred from refracted arrivals for the northern part of the Kaapvaal craton is larger by about 7 km (51 km) than that inferred from receiver functions (44 km), suggesting a thick mafic lower crust of variable seismic properties due to variations in composition and metamorphic grade. Pn wavespeeds are high (8.3–8.4 km/s), indicating the presence of highly depleted magnesium-rich peridotite throughout the uppermost mantle of the craton. Seismic Pg and Sg phases indicate that the upper crust around the Witwatersrand basin is comparatively uniform in composition when averaged over several kilometres.

Abstract: The Southern African Regional Science Initiative (SAFARI 2000) involved two wet season and one dry season field campaigns. This paper reports on the wet season campaigns. The first was conducted at five sites along the Kalahari Transect in Zambia (Kataba Forest) and Botswana (Pandamatenga, Maun, Okwa River Crossing, Tshane) during February 2000 and concentrated primarily on characterizing the land surface with respect to exchanges of matter and energy with the atmosphere. The second, conducted in February 2001, focused on fluxes of water, gases and energy between the canopy and the atmosphere at Maun, Botswana, and at Skukuza in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Eddy covariance measurements at Skukuza and Maun were designed to collect a near-continuous record of the seasonality and inter-annual variability in savanna carbon, water and energy exchanges in representative savanna ecosystems. This paper gives brief descriptions of the sites, the measurements made, and the methods used. It highlights some preliminary results, particularly from the first campaign, and outlines the next stages of the SAFARI 2000 project URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1031 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The concentration of the metal ions Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Fe, Cr, Ni, and Pb were determined in water samples of the Okavango Delta's panhandle - Maunachira-Khwai water system during periods of high (June 2004) and low (November 2004) water flow. The concentrations of Na (1.67 to 12.77 mg/L), K (1.37 to 5.80 mg/L), Ca (2.46 to 6.98 mg/L) and Mg (0.69 to 2.83 mg/L) increased with distance from Mohembo indicating concentration of these metal ions by evaporation. Cu (up to 0.028 mg/l), Co (up to 0.053 mg /L), Fe (0.010 to 0.60 mg/L), Ni (up to 0.052mg/L), Mn (up to 0.044 mg/L) and Pb (0.017 to 0.28 mg/L) generally decreased in concentration with increase in distance from Mohembo, indicating that the Delta acts as a filter for these ions. Zn (0.049 to 0.101 mg/L) had lower concentrations at Mohembo than the other sampling sites, indicating solubilisation of previously deposited metals ions, or presence of Zn within the Delta. Chromium was not detected except at Seronga (0.026 mg/L) during periods of high water flow. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/951 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The trend of land cover (LC) and land cover change (LCC), both in time and space, was investigated at the Simen Mountains National Park (SMNP), a World Heritage Site located in northern Ethiopia, between 1984 and 2003 using Geographical Information System (GIS) and remote sensing (RS). The objective of the study was to generate spatially and temporally quantified information on land cover dynamics, providing the basis for policy/decision makers and resource managers to facilitate biodiversity conservation, including wild animals. Two satellite images (Landsat TM of 1984 and Landsat ETM+ of 2003) were acquired and supervised classification was used to categorize LC types. Ground Control Points were obtained in field condition for georeferencing and accuracy assessment. The results showed an increase in the areas of pure forest (Erica species dominated) and shrubland but a decrease in the area of agricultural land over the 20 years. The overall accuracy and the Kappa value of classification results were 88 and 85%, respectively. The spatial setting of the LC classes was heterogeneous and resulted from the biophysical nature of SMNP and anthropogenic activities. Further studies are suggested to evaluate the existing LC and LCC in connection with wildlife habitat, conservation and management of SMNP. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1001 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Formal Engineering Education has traditionally been delivered using the low technology—high touch lecturing method, in which the lecturer and student meet face to face. Distance education in this field has been quite slow to develop primarily because of difficulty in delivery of practical based instructions and problems on integrity of assessments. Developments in information technology and the increased demand for further education by people already in employment have however changed this even in developing countries. It puts extra demand on Lecturers to guide distance learners in handling numerical computations so prevalent in Engineering. At the campuses, computer based methods are available in the high touch—high tech lecture method. High level and efficient computer software is used to help the student to simulate and solve some problems. However, such software is expensive—and therefore—not readily available to the distant learner. Spreadsheets on the other hand are almost universal on today's computers and they bridge the gap between hand calculations and high level programme computations. This paper therefore makes a case for the use of spreadsheets in Distance Engineering Education. An example in Spring Design, Selection and Adaptation is used to illustrate the simplification and other advantages of their use by practicing distance learners.

Abstract: The post-colonial Botswana elite built a developmental state.The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) inherited a developmental state-promoting state culture, which it used to modernise state institutions, to focus on creating new wealth for the nation, to build a small but coherent state structure and to centralise the exploitation of natural resources. However, the BDP developmental state reached a point of collapse and two revolutions from above were instituted to try to revive it. This is what this paper argues.

Abstract: Planning adult literacy education in developing nations is largely viewed as a technical process reserved for government officials at the Ministry of Education. This empirical study argues that in Botswana, state sponsored adult literacy asserts its hegemony and stifles learner participation and district initiatives. The paper provides an overview of the socio-economic and political situation in Botswana arguing that in spite of being a liberal democracy, the planning and implementation of adult literacy education is driven by central government officials and views learners as having similar experiences and treats them as passive consumers. It fails to employ literacy education to address social disparities based on ethnicity and gender. Finally, the paper suggests that the planning should be decentralized and use a participatory approach. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/820 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper explores possibilities for achieving 'wise use', defined as the sustainable utilization of resources of the Okavango Delta system, within the framework of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. The paper argues that while the Ramsar Convention's wise use strategic plan forms an important basis for collective action toward sustainably managing the Okavango River Basin as a whole, there are numerous barriers to success, the most important of which is the abiding behaviour of the region's state-makers in defense of sovereignty and pursuit of narrow national interest. In spite of this formidable barrier to success, the paper highlights a number of on-going multilateral activities that may serve to further the aims of wise use of the Okavango River Basin system. It also provides a number of practical suggestions for furthering progressive frameworks of action. The paper is based on a close reading of published and unpublished written materials and the findings of a number of open-ended interviews conducted with stakeholders active in the Okavango River Basin.

Abstract: This article analyses the colonial government's intervention in crop production in Botswana through the 'progressive farmer' scheme, from 1946 to independence in 1966. Crop production was not a highly remunerative venture in colonial Botswana because of persistent droughts, inadequate markets and lack of sufficient draught power and farming implements. Although cattle constituted the basis of wealth and, hence, their ownership led to social differentiation from pre-colonial times, the introduction of the 'progressive farmer' scheme accentuated the existing social stratification by favouring the well-to-do producers. While only a few farmers benefited from state assistance, this development marked a departure from the period before 1947 when the colonial state did almost nothing to bolster crop production in the country. By utilising statistics and case histories of farmers who joined the scheme, the article argues that the support extended to a few selected farmers in only some reserves accentuated intra-peasant differentiation and differentiation between regions of the country. The article begins by briefly presenting a survey of the concept of peasant differentiation, then focuses on the nature and organisation of progressive farmer schemes and their impact on peasant differentiation. It then discusses the position of farmers in the various categories of the scheme and finally presents and analyses case studies of three progressive farmers from three different reserves.

Abstract: The paper is based on a study which sought the understanding and appreciation of, and activities on issues of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) amongst the staff of the Faculty of Education, University of Botswana (UB). A survey design was adopted with a questionnaire for collecting data from academic staff members while Heads of Academic Departments (HoDs) were interviewed. The findings show an agreement between academic staff and HoDs that ESD issues are inadequately addressed in the Faculty of Education in UB and that ESD is confused with Environmental Education. Whilst staff paints a rosy picture of ESD in teaching, assessment and curriculum, their responses with regard their willingness to take part and their expertise in ESD issues as well involvement in ESD related research is negative. This might imply that the alleged teaching, assessment curriculum development and community engagement are not informed by research. Amongst the recommendations made are, that there is need to sensitize and provide in-service training to the staff of the Faculty of Education on the concept, activities and issues of ESD, so that they are able to engage in research to ensure informed ESD related teaching, research and service to the community.

Abstract: Exclusion of grazing animals and tree plantations are 2 methods that have been used for restoration of degraded lands in tropical semiarid areas. These 2 options can foster secondary forest succession by improving soil conditions, attracting seed-dispersal agents, and modifying microclimate for understory growth. We compared native woody plant diversity and soil chemical and physical attributes under exclosure and on Eucalyptus globulus (EGP) and Cupressus lusitanica (CLP) plantations. Vegetation data were collected by an inventory of stands with circular plots of 5.64 m radius, and soil samples were collected from the 4 corners and center of 20 × 20 m plots. As a result, 15 native woody plant species belonging to 13 families were recorded. Importance value index (IVI), Shannon-Wiener, Simpson's diversity, and species richness were higher in the exclosure, followed by EGP and CLP. Contents of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen showed significance difference and were highest in the exclosure, followed by CLP, EGP, and grazing land. Although the difference was not significant, an increasing trend was observed for cation exchange capacity and K+. Bulk density was highest on the grazing land, followed by EGP, CLP, and exclosure. Our results suggest that degraded land reclamation can be achieved with plantation of rapidly growing tree species as well as exclosure. However, native woody species diversity and improved soil attributes are better achieved with exclosure. Exclosures can be established interspersed strategically with single- or mixed-species plantations to facilitate restoration of native vegetation. However, it is important to conduct further research on the comparative advantage of enrichment planting of exclosures with preferred tree species or exclosures interspersed within blocks of plantation.

Goodbye, Lincoln Center — hello, Hudson Yards. With Michael Bloomberg's announcement at FGI's Night of Stars that the Culture Shed will be "the future home of New York Fashion Week," months of speculation became official.
But just because the location's locked in doesn't mean the name is, right? We had to find out what the designers who will be showing at the new facility thought of the "Culture Shed" moniker — and did you honestly expect this group not to have a strong opinion? While some, like Rebecca Taylor, gave their seal of approval – "I honestly kind of like the name," she says, "From the renderings it looks like such a massive, architecturally modern space, so I think the name is kind of playful and fun" — others, including Rebecca Minkoff, Misha Nonoo, and Charlotte Ronson, had other ideas in mind. See their answers (and get a peek at the Culture Shed) below!

Lassen eligible to receive part of $4.3 grant for cleanup of 2005 storm
Lassen, Plumas, Butte and El Dorado counties will get a share of $4.3 million for projects through the California Employment Development Department, which will provide temporary jobs to assist in cleanup and recovery efforts.
The new funding will help complete cleanup and repairs to provide safe routes of travel for community members. It will also pay for clearing debris blocking streams and contributing to erosion.
A series of severe rainstorms beginning Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2005, and ending Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2006, brought flooding to many areas in Lassen County and along the Susan River.
The torrential storms prompted Lassen County Office of Emergency Services Chief Chip Jackson to declare a local disaster and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to declare Lassen and 15 other counties disaster areas.
After the rain began on Tuesday, Dec. 19, snow and rain fell for 14 days nearly every day throughout the county from the storms generated off the Pacific Ocean — typically referred to as the Pineapple Express.
Vernon Bohannon, a Susanville resident, came up with the idea to line the riverbank side of Carroll Street with K-rails and sandbags. The California Correctional Center's Antelope Crew prepared hundreds of sand bags. The crew and city staff barricaded the river on the Carroll Street bank.
The rails and sandbags were about four feet higher than the road. When the Susan River crested at more than 13 feet, it came within six inches of the top of the K-rails. The next day more sandbags were placed on top of the K-rail.
Susanville Fire Chief Stu Ratner said one of the biggest problems on the Susan River was at the site of a bridge at the location of the abandoned Coin Lumber Company.
Large timber going down the river and debris accumulated at the bridge site causing a lot of pressure to build. The only water getting through was on each side of the bridge.
Union Pacific owns the Coin Lumber property, formerly the Jeld-Wyn site, and a crew from Roseville came and excavated the area to allow the water to flow. Ratner said the plugged area by the railroad's bridge caused the river to rise to a higher level than reported by the National Weather Service.
Mitigation after flooding in 1997 worked well, according to Ratner. A flapped drain where Piute Creek flows into Susan River worked as planned. A red cover on the drain opens and closes to regulate how the creek flows into the river.
"There is still more to be done for Northern California to recover from the storms and this $4.3 million grant will provide over 400 temporary jobs for Californians to do that important work," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao.
To start, California's Employment Development Department will get $2.1 million to supplement a May 2006 National Emergency Grant of $5.5 million. Project funding now has surpassed $9.8 million, and a total of 825 jobs have been created, according to Chao's news release.
"Workers eligible to apply for temporary jobs include those dislocated as a result of the storms, other dislocated workers and the long-term unemployed," the news release said.
Other counties targeted by the state for assistance under the grant include Alpine, Colusa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Sisikiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Trinity, Yolo and Yuba.
National Emergency Grants are part of the secretary of labor's discretionary fund and are awarded based on a state's ability to meet specific guidelines.
The Department of Labor provides funds to the state, which in turn funds the project operations.
"These funds will be extremely beneficial to the residents and communities that were impacted by the storms," said Doolittle. "The effects of such disasters take years to recover from. I am pleased that we are getting the help we need."
Doolittle's 4th Congressional District stretches from the eastern Sacramento region to Lake Tahoe on the south and runs up the Sierra Nevada range to the high desert of Modoc County on the Oregon border in the north. It encompasses the entire counties of El Dorado, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, and Sierra. Additionally, it includes the community of Orangevale in Sacramento County and the Oroville area in Butte County.

Set attainable goals when developing a business model for ITS projects.
The Florida Department of Transportation's experience with implementing a regional ATIS program in the Miami tri-county region.
April 2002
Miami,Florida,United States; Fort Lauderdale,Florida,United States; Hialeah,Florida,United States
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
When working with a private sector partner to develop a business model it is important to maintain goals that can easily be reached with available resources. The business model proposed by SRS for the Miami Regional ATIS Project, a self-sustaining ATIS, turned out to not be attainable. SRS indicated that developing the ATIS as a self-sustaining business area was not feasible, and proposed that the service be continued on a fee-for-service basis. Based on FDOT's experience with the SunGuide business model, the evaluation team highlighted lessons that should be considered when developing a business model for ATIS:
- Use services and marketing strategies that have proven track records.
- Internet-based advertising was a cornerstone of the business model proposed by SRS. At the time of the project the market for Internet-based advertising had not developed as anticipated, and this fact, coupled with the collapse of the "dot com" market in the two years prior to the project, in essence eliminated this particular source of revenue.
- FDOT and SRS both anticipated the development of value-added and customized information services as an additional revenue source for the project. The language in which the ISP is encouraged to provide revenue-generating customized information to clients and generate commercial revenues reflects this. However, as of the evaluation, SRS had not offered value added services to clients. The market for such services was not developed as anticipated. FDOT and SRS also recognized that marketing and outreach would be required to establish the SunGuide system as a brand name that travelers and commuters would recognize. The importance of this is reflected in the identification of specific marketing and outreach services that were to be provided by the ISP in the project's negotiated scope of work. While these activities resulted in a concurrent increase in user contact to the SunGuide system, this increased contact was not for value-added services. Most contacts have been to obtain travel information or to report incidents and congestion and have not expressed interest in obtaining value-added services. An additional constraint was that the further development of value-added services would require an additional investment of resources in advertising. Experience in other markets has shown that such an investment can be cost-prohibitive (an example is the TravTIPS project implemented as a public-private partnership by the I-95 Corridor Coalition and ARINC, Inc., of Annapolis, MD. A study conducted for ARINC estimated that approximately $40 million in marketing and outreach would be required to establish the TravTIPS system as a brand name). The potential return on investment needed to justify such a resource outlay did not appear to be attainable in the Miami tri-county region.
- Clarify the role of public sector agencies that control information infrastructures. Once this role has been clarified and public sector agencies have determined how to treat the private sector agencies, private sector agencies can make business decisions related to entering the market.
The partners have successfully established a working relationship that enables the sharing of data and information. The problem with the business model regards developing other business areas and revenue sources that will support the core ATIS function. - Make the business planning process flexible with strong support from the public sector.
The ATIS contract document did not contain a process for deleting or revising services that are not profitable. Adding additional services does not appear to be a problem; addressing issues related to unprofitable performance has been a source of disagreement between the partners. The project would seem to be better served by an agreement that enabled revisions of the business plan using this iterative approach.

New Cigar Site With A Twist-Can You Say Negotiator
Dave from Cheap Humidors has started a new site called cigarbargains.com. It looks like Dave could put William Shatner back to work with a "negotiator" type site. After going to the site I found a one day deal like the other big boys. The difference is that cigarbaigain.com has a way to make an offer if the listed daily deal is just not good enough for you. You can negotiate the price live on the site and work out a deal on the spot.
Here is a video on how the new site cigarbargains.com works:
The President of CheapHumidors.com Dave Sabot has announced that the new website, Cigar Bargains, has officially been opened to the general public. The new website uses the latest technologies that will allow consumers to negotiate prices on the site in real time.
For the month of march 2012, Dave is will be giving 10% of profits from the new site to CRA (Cigar Rights of America), a site that fights for the rights of cigar smokers in the United States.
Dave is mostly excited about being able to partner with Cigar Rights of America saying that, "It feels good to be able to support an organization that advocates for the individual consumer and protects the freedoms of those that enjoy cigar smoking as a hobby." Mr. Sabot went on to say, "Donating a percentage of all profits to CRA gives the consumer a way to lend his or her support to the organization, which helps to ensure that CRA can continue the work of their mission."
David Sabot opened Cheaphumidors.com online store in June of 1997, it was hosted on a free site with only a picture of three humidors that he offered, the price and the address to send checks to. Since then, Dave has grown his website into one of the largest cigar related online stores.
"I really didn't know too much about cigars or how to store them, so I turned to the Internet. What I found out was that you needed a thing called a humidor to properly store cigars. So I started shopping for them. I went to my local stores, consignment shops, etc. Their prices were unreal. They wanted $200-$300 for a box to store cigars. I almost fainted. I did some research and it turned out there were other people like me. Guys who wanted to store some cigars but didn't want to spend a fortune doing it. Well it doesn't take much to see there was a market here that was pretty much unfilled."
"I found a company that would supply me with humidors and I could order only a few at a time for $45 apiece. I bought one as a sample and to store my own cigars in and decided to take a picture and throw it on a free-hosted Web site. Much to my delight I started to receive orders and inquiries for the product and as they say, the rest is history."

Posted: 12:00 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013
By Alida Moore
When it comes to choosing a career, which jobs give Generation Y workers the best chance of making a high salary? Online salary database PayScale.com took a look at its Gen Y data to find out.
The jobs with particularly strong earnings potential for Gen Y fall into three categories: information technology, engineering and upper-level management, says Katie Bardaro, lead analyst at PayScale.
"IT and engineering jobs typically pay well, because they are in high demand and require a specialized workforce, whereas upper-level management jobs pay well due to their larger responsibilities and workload," she explains.
If you're wondering in what careers Gen Y workers can earn hefty paychecks, check out this list:
Petroleum Engineer
Median Annual Salary: $98,100
If you're looking for a field in which you can make a substantial salary, engineering is generally a smart path to take. Petroleum-engineering jobs combine two lucrative worlds: engineering and oil/gas, thus accounting for the sizable paychecks a Gen Y worker could earn. Petroleum engineers determine where and how to drill for oil. Typically, a bachelor's degree is required.
Senior Software Engineer
Median Annual Salary: $80,600
A software engineer develops and maintains software for a variety of industries. Gen Y workers are among the most tech-savvy in the workforce, making them potentially well-suited for this career. A bachelor's degree is required; senior positions require at least five years of experience.
Account Director
Median Annual Salary: $76,200
Millennials are known for their love of all things social — a skill that could come in handy when it comes to managing high-profile clients. An account director is responsible for overseeing account managers and for maintaining important client relationships, and often acts as the point of contact for large accounts. A bachelor's degree is required, and most senior positions require at least six years of experience.
IT Program Manager
Median Annual Salary: $75,100
An information-technology program manager is responsible for ensuring that a technology project is completed successfully and on time. Understanding and staying current on advances in technology — which is second nature to many in Generation Y — is vital, as are top-notch organizational skills. This job requires a bachelor's degree and at least four years of experience.
Sales Director
Median Annual Salary: $74,600
This job might be a good fit for strategic thinkers. Sales directors are often charged with identifying sales targets and training lower-level sales associates. They might also work with colleagues to develop more-effective sales techniques. A bachelor's degree is required, along with five years of experience.
Technical Architect
Median Annual Salary: $73,000
Gen Y workers are generally good at juggling multiple tasks. Those who also have an interest in architecture might find career success as a technical architect. Technical architects are responsible for overseeing many parts of an IT architecture project.
Their work includes coordinating with the teams that oversee various project elements, as well as ensuring that those elements are delivered on time. A bachelor's degree is required.
Source: All salary and education data are provided by online salary database PayScale.com. Salaries listed are median annual salaries for Gen Y workers (defined as those born from 1982 to 1993) and include any bonuses, commissions or profit sharing. All pay figures are for workers with no more than a bachelor's degree.

I am at TESOL 2010 in Boston, an international conference of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages. It is so energizing to be with the 7000 attendees that have come from all over the world. Tonight I attended Howard Gardner's Opening Plenary on Five Minds of the Future with approximately 1500 other people. Dr. Gardner's speech was so relevant to many of the topics that I have discussed on Twitter with educators in my PLN about the future of education.
Rather than tweet lines from his speech, I decided to put together a blog and outline his what he said.
There are several major changes in our culture that have occurred that have led to a transformation in how we view education.
·Globalization has resulted in mega cities all over the world. It is the reason that immigrant children are entering U.S. schools in unprecedented numbers. The emergence of global markets and knowledge-intensive economies are bypassing national borders.
·Biological revolution – The potential of brain science for education are indeed enormous Teachers today need to know about how the brain works. Educators and scientists need to cooperate so the educators know about brain science and scientist know about education
· Digital revolution – I won't go into all that Gardner mentions about the digital revolution but he specifically mentions the advent of social networking such as Twitter and the possibility of allowing students to use cell phones and other electronic devices in the classroom. Technology has changed the way we think about learning.
· Lifelong learners – people cannot go to school and then stop learning in today's world. We must learn to think outside the box, to be flexible and learn beyond our disciplines.
The Five Minds for the Future are:
* The Disciplinary Mind: The goal of schools can no longer be the memorization of an assortment of facts. Students need to learn to think across many disciplines (historical, mathematic, artistic, scientific) and to become experts in one discipline. t
* The Synthesizing Mind: This is the ability to synthesize information has become more and more important. There is so much information available to students that is undigested and unevaluated. Students need to be able to synthesize the information that is available and communicate it to other.
The Creating Mind: This is the ability of a person to clarify new problems and come up with new solutions. The Creative Mind thinks outside the box and is not afraid to try new things and fail.
* The Respectful Mind is respectful of the differences among human beings. Diversity is a fact of life and we must go beyond mere tolerance to show our respect for others.
* The Ethical Mind demonstrates the ability to conceptualize oneself as a good worker and a good citizen. We must take our responsibilities in these two areas seriously.
So with this new book Five Minds for the Future, Howard Gardner goes beyond the cognitive realm and into the realm of getting along with other cultures and living up to our responsibilities to our community.

They use OTC parts and do a running computation on failure rates and optimize price performance dynamically. They are truly industrial scale production here. For them servicing/replacing a system is cheap: Box dies. Employee notes this, grabs box from Big Stack of Boxes, carries it to dead box, removes dead box, replace it with new working box, presses power switch, walks away. Problem solved. All boxes are handmade, so dead box goes into boneyard/parts pile to be recycled. I'm guessing that they do a very, very limited amount of diagnostics on dead box -- enough to determine problem to be power supply, disk(s), battery, or motherboard -- and if they can tell they take out offender, replace it from stock shelf, test rebuilt box, and place it back in Big Stack of Boxes. Dead part is probably tallied and junked. MAYBE they have some sort of return system to vendors (at the very least they probably get Sam's Club pricing:-) or maybe they just dump it in the trash and move on. Because there is zero penalty to node failure other than this fifteen minutes of human time and maybe a spare part distributed along an assembly line that handles (I'm guessing) tens of failures an hour, there is absolutely no advantage to them in using tier 1 parts. All they care about is that the stack of parts they reach for is at the sweet spot of MTBF per dollar spent per unit of "service" delivered by the device. All beowulfers should take note -- this is a perfect exemplar of a principle all cluster builders should use, although of course for different problems the optimization landscape will differ as well (some problems are NOT tolerant of single node failure:-). rgb > > Ellis > > Robert G.

If you're a fan of science and math or love to design, build, and invent things, a career in engineering may be for you. Quincy University's Pre-Engineering program prepares you for continued Engineering study at other colleges or universities.
You have two options in our Pre-Engineering program:
Option 1: You enter a 3-2 program, wherein you spend three years at Quincy University taking our Pre-Engineering core sequence and general liberal arts courses; then spend two years at Washington University, St. Louis (assuming a strong grade point average), in a comprehensive engineering curriculum. At the end of five years, you will receive the baccalaureate degree in Physical Science from Quincy University and a degree in Engineering from Washington University. An added year at Washington University would lead to a Master's Degree.
Option 2: You complete a two-year General Education/Pre-Engineering sequence at Quincy University and then transfer to an engineering school of your choice. No degree is awarded from Quincy University.
The core of our curriculum consists of General Chemistry I and II; Principles of Physics I, II, and III; Calculus and Analytic Geometry I, II, and III; and Differential Equations. In both of our Pre-Engineering options, you'll benefit from Quincy's Franciscan commitment to individualized instruction in every aspect of your education. Our classes are small and our professors are dedicated to your success. Consequently, our Pre-Engineering program is a great way to build a strong educational foundation that will support you as you begin your engineering coursework.

I was somewhere around 7 years old when I was told (what I believed at the time) to be the funniest joke in the world. "How do you make a sex sandwich?" I had no idea of the technicalities of sex but when I heard the punch line I immediately squealed with laughter. "With Penis Butter and Vaginamite".
I think I love that joke even more now that I realize it is uniquely Australian. No one else makes up vegemite jokes.
The joke became a regular in my repertoire, even though I had no idea of how babies were made or the logistics of what went where I loved the play on words. I also knew it wasn't a joke to be shared with my parents, it was purely for the playground.
A couple of years later I went along with my father to my first ever sex education class. I, like a lot of little girls, idolized my Dad (still do). He was the funniest, smartest, tallest guy I knew. I was eager to please and show him how clever I was. When the man pointed to the girly bits and asked what they were I shot up my hand and got that urgent bounce that little people do. The man pointed in my direction and said "we have someone over here who knows what it's called".....I was ecstatic and eagerly shouted out "its a VAGINAMITE". A girl at the end of the row called Andrea who was 10 times smarter than me and in my year (and knew the joke) giggled so much, she fell off her chair. Oops. Wrong word.
After yesterday's blog a conversation began about when we tell our little people information and how much is too much too soon. Little traveler number 1 already knows about secret women's business, I got in early after finding out she had friends that were unfortunate enough to be "early starters" at age 9. She knows that love presents itself in all different forms and that "special cuddles" are required for babies. Last weeks breakfast table question was "if you were gay and married in a state where it was legal in the US and you moved with your gay wife/husband to Australia.....would your marriage be recognized?" I'm pretty sure when I was 10 these were not things I was considering before I'd finished my weetbix.
I can't help but think of friends who were out for a drive with their young son and daughter and the conversation moved on to love, marriage and all the different possibilities of who could end up together. Their daughter said with great pride of her depth of knowledge "I know what it's called when you're a lady who loves ladies............you're a vegetarian!"

Evacuation Wardens
The University of Newcastle Evacuation Wardens have the responsibility to assist staff and students of, and visitors to, the University to evacuate buildings and other areas that may present a risk to their safety. By following the procedures, remaining calm and using sound judgement wardens can greatly reduce the risk of injury.
At all times wardens shall remember that they act in an advisory capacity, and their role is to:
direct and advise people on the safest method of evacuating a building;
relay information to others in the building; and
advise emergency and security services personnel of the status of their building, when the services arrive.
It is not the responsibility of evacuation wardena to physically remove people from buildings, locate the source of the fire or bomb or fight a fire (unless suitable training has been received).
