Taking stock of wars' toll back here at home
With the Iraq War over and the war in Afghanistan drawing to a close, one way to fathom the toll in the Fredericksburg area is the number 34.
That's how many—32 men and two women with ties to the area—have died in those conflicts.
Most were in their 20s, doing their duty on the battlefield. Some were civilians working for government contractors. A few were claimed by illness and tragic accidents in the war zones.
All are mourned and remembered by family and loved ones; many of their names are etched in stone at the city's Our Fallen Heroes memorial at the intersection of Barton, Liberty and George streets.
David K. James, a Fredericksburg resident and retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel, says people from the area have always answered the call to military service.
"Going overseas is part of it, and lives are lost because of it," said James, who is compiling a history of the local National Guard and its roots in Colonial militia.
"Some of our finest don't come home."
Vic Mason, whose 20-year-old son, Army National Guard Sgt. Nicholas, "Nick" Mason, was killed in a mess-tent suicide bombing in Iraq in 2004, said the toll goes beyond the 34 killed in the war zones. It's a loss shared by the community.
"It certainly weighs on families, friends," neighbors and strangers "who have come out to support us in so many different ways. It's kind of hard to put in words what it means," said Mason, longtime clerk of the King George County Circuit Court.
Army Sgt. David Ruhren of Stafford County also was killed in the Iraq mess-tent bombing that left 22 dead.
Some area families have worked together to ensure their loved ones' sacrifices won't be forgotten.
For example, the Masons, and the Frazier family in Spotsylvania County, created the Some Gave All Foundation in 2007 to honor their sons: Nick Mason, and Marine Sgt. Joshua Frazier, 24, who was killed Feb. 6, 2007, by a sniper in Ramadi, Iraq.
The foundation raises money to help the wounded, and sponsors the annual Some Gave All memorial motorcycle rally.
Said Mason, "The other thing I'd like to keep out there is the after-affects of the soldiers that come back" alive, but with life-changing traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"That's one thing we need to do, to continue to support them."
Among the first area residents to die in the Iraq war was 30-year-old David Parson. The Army staff sergeant was killed four months after U.S. troops entered the country. He was shot July 6, 2003, as his vehicle approached Baghdad. The father of three had married into the Belman family of Stafford.
The following year was especially deadly, with nine from the region killed.
On Feb. 19, 2004, Army 2nd Lt. Jeff Graham, 24, a 1998 graduate of Brooke Point High School was killed by a roadside bomb about 50 miles west of Baghdad.
A civilian medic died Nov. 2, 2004, during a battle at Abu Ghraib prison between Fallujah and Baghdad. Jeffery Serrett, 43, was a Caroline County native who lived in Spotsylvania.
By the beginning of 2007, the casualty list had grown to 19, and by then, included a soldier serving in Afghanistan.
Army Master Sgt. Michael Russell, 31, originally of Stafford, was killed on June 28, 2005, along with 15 others when their helicopter was shot down by insurgents in Afghanistan's Kunar Province.
By 2009 there were 25 names, among them, Army Cpl. Ryan Casey McGhee, 21, an Army Ranger from Spotsylvania, killed May 13, 2009, by small-arms fire in central Iraq.
Marine Sgt. Donald J. Lamar II, 23, a 2004 Stafford High School graduate, was killed May 12, 2010, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Army Spc. Morganne McBeth, 19, of Stafford, died July 2, 2010, after being stabbed by a fellow soldier at Al Asad air base in Iraq.
By the summer of last year, there were 33 names.
The most recent was added in August.
Army Master Sgt. George A. Bannar Jr., of Fort Bragg, N.C., and formerly of Orange County, died Aug. 20, 2013, when his special forces unit was attacked in Wardak Province, Afghanistan.
Across Virginia, more than 200 men and women have died since the 9/11 terrorist attacks; nationally, the number is 6,795, according to the website icasual ties.org.
In his Jan. 28 State of the Union address, President Obama said that 60,000 troops have come home from Afghanistan.
"Together with our allies, we will complete our mission there by the end of this year, and America's longest war will finally be over," the president said.
About 38,000 U.S. troops are still there as work continues on a security agreement that could keep a contingent in Afghanistan after 2014.
It's been two years since the last Guard soldiers from the Fredericksburg area returned from deployment. It included 20 Virginia Army National Guard soldiers from Bowling Green. Detachment 1, Company B, 116th Special Troops Battalion returned from Afghanistan in January 2012 after providing aerial reconnaissance support for the Staunton-based 116th Brigade Combat Team Headquarters.
Prior to that, about 130 National Guard soldiers assigned to the Fredericksburg Armory served in Iraq for four months in 2011, returning just before a Dec. 31 deadline for U.S. troops to leave. They were attached to Company D, 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, and had been expected to be in Iraq a full year.
No area National Guard units are currently serving in Afghanistan.

As the war in Afghanistan ends, pre-deployment training for troops at military bases such as Fort A.P. Hill, has slowed as well.
But the 76,000-acre base, which straddles Caroline and Essex counties, still buzzes with helicopters, the boom of ordnance training, the rattle of machine guns and pop–pop of small arms. All Army units still have to complete training in basic soldier skills.
And the fort is preparing soldiers, other branches of the military and some government agencies for the next frontier in warfare with the recent opening of a $90 million Asymmetric Warfare Training Center to meet a growing threat of global insurgencies.
"Our mission is to train military forces—active, Reserve, primarily Army, but also Marines, Air Force and we do a little training for Navy SEALs," fort spokesman Bob McElroy said in a recent interview.
"We're here, really, for the warriors," he said. "We can do anything they want." For example, there are ranges for pistols and rifles, heavier weapons such as machine guns and mortars, artillery and aerial gunnery, and courses in marksmanship, patrolling and land navigation.
One week last fall, "we had the Delaware National Guard doing aerial gunnery from Blackhawks [helicopters]." A unit from Dover Air Force Base was practicing tactical landings.
Navy SEALs occasionally train in small boats along the Rappahannock River. The 3rd Special Forces group from Fort Bragg, N.C., has been using the fort in an ongoing effort to train the Afghan National Army.
"A lot of units come here for annual training; summer is the busiest time," McElroy said. Most of the roughly 80,000 troops who trained at the fort last fiscal year—down from about 95,000 in 2010—came from bases along the East Coast.
Most come from Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, McElroy said, with others from farther away.
For example, "We had a battalion from the Marine Corps Reserve out of Houston, and the 4th Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division" out of Fort Polk, La.
Troops leaving Afghanistan and heading to their home bases may mean more troops will be training in Virginia.
"At Fort Bragg, they tell us that training ranges are at a premium," McElroy said. Soldiers stationed at the North Carolina fort "can come here. We've got the space and they can do it without having to compete with a bunch of other units."
Last year's sequester-related furloughs had an impact on training. With A.P. Hill staffers gone a day a week for six weeks, "we had to juggle schedules," McElroy said, to accommodate training.
"[They] spend a lot of money to come here. We can't say, 'Sorry You can't come.'"
About 200 civilians work on the installation; the base commander and sergeant major are the two permanent military personnel.
In October 2011, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal school opened on 2,700 acres west of U.S. 301. Non-commissioned officers from Fort Lee, near Petersburg, are bused to A.P. Hill for training.
The fort's most recent addition is the Asymmetric Warfare Training Center, managed by the Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group out of Fort Meade, Md.
The "battle laboratory," spread out over 300 acres, is devoted to helping troops survive, and finding quick solutions to ever-evolving global threats.
The region's two other military installations—Marine Corps Base Quantico, and Naval Support Facility Dahlgren—also maintain busy training components.
For example, Quantico is a national hub of professional education for Marine officers and career enlisted personnel on 60,000 acres in Stafford, Fauquier and Prince William counties.
The Dahlgren Navy base in King George County is a major research and development complex with eight tenant commands, including the Aegis Training and Readiness Center, which provides instruction on an advanced shipboard weapons combat system.
—Rusty Dennen
Established in June 1941, Fort A.P. Hill encompasses about 76,000 acres in Caroline and Essex counties, and is one of the Army's premier training venues.
During World War II, it was used as a maneuver area for 11 Army corps and three National Guard divisions. It was the staging area for Maj. Gen George Patton's Task Force A, which invaded French Morocco. Later, it conducted field training for the Army's Officer Candidate School.
During the? Korean War, it was a major staging area for units being sent to Europe, and it was used for officer training during the Vietnam War. It has been a training and mobilization site for units going to Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf, Bosnia–Herzegovina and Kosovo in the Balkans, and Afghanistan and Iraq.
The base is named for Confederate Lt. Gen. Ambrose Powell Hill, who was mortally wounded in 1865 at Petersburg.

(2010) Silicon nanoparticles generated by femtosecond laser ablation in a liquid environment. Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 12 (2). pp. 573-580.
|PDF - Published Version
Silicon nanoparticles were generated by femtosecond laser [387 nm, 180 fs, 1 kHz, pulse energy = 3.5 μJ (fluence = 0.8 J/cm2)] ablation of silicon in deionized water. Nanoparticles with diameters from ~5 up to ~200 nm were observed to be formed in the colloidal solution. Their size distribution follows log-normal function with statistical median diameter of â20 nm. Longer ablation time leads to a narrowing of the nanoparticle size distribution due to the interaction of the ablating laser beam with the produced nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy measurements confirm that the nanoparticles exhibit phonon quantum confinement effects and indicate that under the present conditions of ablation they are partially amorphous.

WASHINGTON - — More than 100,000 Florida legal immigrants - half of them elderly, blind or disabled - will be cut off from some form of federal benefits under the nation's new welfare law, state officials said on Monday.
The cutoff will cost these immigrants more than $300 million worth of benefits a year, state officials estimated.
Today, the Social Security Administration will send out the first batch of warning letters to the most vulnerable of them: those who qualify for "supplemental security income" because they are elderly or disabled.

Cat Osterman of the USSSA Pride (Photo courtest National Pro Fastpitch)
via release
The action surrounding the NPF this weekend was nothing short of brilliant as the teams kicked off an exciting second week of the season. The season continued with the Bandits visiting the Diamonds in Kannapolis, North Carolina. The Bandits trip to Kannapolis notched a special occasion for the Diamonds marking the second time that a franchise has made its home in the Carolinas. The other series of the weekend sent the Racers to Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas for a series hosted by the Pride.
The weekend included one hitters by last years Co-Pitchers of the Year, Monica Abbott and Cat Osterman; as well as complete games by seven other NPF pitchers and late game batting heroics by the Racers' Sam Marder and the Pride's Natasha Watley.
For the second time in as many weeks, the Diamonds saw a loss in a series at 1-3 after winning the opening game, this time to the Bandits. The opening game of the series starred Katie Burkhart who threw one of many gems by NPF pitchers over the weekend. She went the full seven innings allowing only three hits and one earned run with six strikeouts. This would be her first of three appearances of the weekend that would see her throw sixteen innings of work. Diamond pitching wasn't the only thing that shined in the opening game of the series as the Carolina bats went ablaze. GiOnna DiSalvatore, Rachel Folden, and Angeline Quiocho combined to go six for eight and accounted for all five of the runs batted in for the Diamonds with a home run by Quiocho clinching the opening series game 5-1. The rest of the series, however, belonged to the Bandits. In Monica Abbott's return to the circle after no-hit ball, she threw a no-hitter into the sixth inning giving up a single to Jami Lobpries. The outing included seven innings pitched with only one hit, twelve strikeouts and a 2-0 shutout of the Diamonds. On the flip side of the circle in game two, Rookie Watch pitcher Angel Bunner had a veteran-like performance carrying a no-hitter into the fifth but eventually allowing only one earned run and giving up three hits in a full seven innings of work. The third and fourth games of the series saw more of Katie Burkhart who threw a combined 9 innings in a start and relief appearance respectively, making the Diamonds' workhorse total sixteen innings pitched with five earned runs on ten hits and eighteen strikeouts for the weekend. Tammy Williams stepped up in the second game of the series going two for two with two walks and accounting for four of the eight total runs scored in the Bandits 8-3 game three win. In that game Abbott retook the circle to record her first of two saves in the weekend. The series concluded with a close 5-4 win by the Bandits, which included the second of two saves on the weekend by Abbott and a second of two homeruns for Diamonds infielder Angeline Quiocho.
The other series in NPF action took place at What-a-burger Field Home of the Minor League AA affiliate Corpus Christi Hooks in Corpus Christi, Texas. The series was one that saw close competition from both teams as three of the four games were decided by a single run. Game one featured the first two of six complete game gems thrown by NPF pitchers this series. Kristina Thorson of the Racers went six innings with seven hits, three earned runs and a strikeout, but was over-shadowed by a strong performance from the Pride's Danielle Lawrie who went seven innings with five hits, two earned runs and nine strikeouts, which resulted in a 3-2 win for the Pride. The second game of the series featured the second of the weekend's two one hit games. USSSA Pride's Cat Osterman showed hitters that she was fully back from off-season surgery by throwing a one hit gem consisting of a solo home run by Sam Marder in the top of the fourth which would be her first of two on the weekend. Osterman went seven innings with one hit, one earned run and ten strikeouts in twenty-three batters faced resulting in the 7-1 game two win for the Pride.
The third game of the series was a home coming for a pitcher who threw yet another complete game, Corpus Christi's Sarah Pauly. Pauly went seven innings giving up only four hits, two earned runs and six strikeouts. The homecoming was something of an appetizer for what would ensue in the final game of the series. Drama and heroics were not in short supply during the final game of the series when the pitchers duel was settled by homeruns by both teams late in the eighth inning. NPF Rookie pitcher Brittany Mack watched her no-hitter get broken up by a double by Brianna Hesson in the top of the seventh. After getting through the inning unscathed, Mack would proceed to go into extras and give up what would be the eventual game winning grand slam to Sam Marder, her second homerun of the weekend. Mack's final line would be eight innings pitched with four hits, four earned runs and seven strikeouts. Kristina Thorson was also electric in the circle finishing up the complete game at eight innings pitched as well with seven hits, three earned runs and seven strikeouts. The Pride looked to have a chance in the bottom of the eighth. Natasha Watley delivered her comeback effort by blasting a three run homerun to bring the Pride within one on what was only Watley's third career homerun, but Thorson eventually resettled to finish out the last two batters for the win and avoid the sweep of the series by the Pride.
NPF action continues this coming weekend with the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Title IX in Akron as the Racers host the Bandits. In Clermont, Florida, the Pride host the Diamonds in what should be a fun filled weekend of softball. Fans interested in following pitch-by-pitch can do so with several different options. Live streaming can be viewed on the NPF website, profastpitch.com, or by downloading the brand new NPF app available for both iPhone and Android OS. Additionally, fans can follow along through live stats provided by Pointstreak Technologies. A Pointstreak app can also be downloaded to personal computers and is available in the Google Play and Apple app stores.

About once a week, Cat Clinic of Chattanooga practice manager Rachel Walker gets a call from an owner about a talkative feline.
While hair balls and loss of appetite are clear signs to owners that a cat may be distressed, meowing excessively is one way puss may be trying to express his discomfort as well, Walker said.
"The cat is doing it for a reason," she said. "You just have to rule out medical, behavioral and safety."
Sudden chattiness in an otherwise taciturn cat can indicate anxiety or health problems, including serious conditions such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes.
In the former case, a veterinarian may be able to prescribe mediation to calm the animal down, but any changes to a cat's vocal habits should be addressed by a professional, after ruling out environmental causes such as boredom and lack of food or water, Walker said.
There is generally an underlying cause to a cat speaking up, including female cats entering their heat cycle. But for some talkative cats, the cause may be genetic. Some breeds, including Siamese, Bengal and Maine Coon are naturally more vocal.
"My cat is a domestic short-haired black cat who talks and talks all day long, and he has a little Siamese in him," Walker said. "It could just be how they were made."

Purduettes: History
The Purduettes must credit their formation to a brief absence of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club. During World War II, members of the Glee Club were leaving for service so rapidly that the Glee Club schedule had to be curtailed. Al Stewart, the director of PMO, responded by forming an entertainment group of thirteen young women who were chosen and organized as the Purduettes.
Al Stewart originally designed four costumes for the Purduettes including a simple black and white choir gown and the well known white satin off-the-shoulder formal. Al took the women on a tour of the east coast which included a performance at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York. The Purduettes were a hit and began entertaining audiences nationwide.
Although Al restored the Men's Glee Club as soon as the war was over, the Purduettes had made their mark in history and the women added a new flare to the Purdue Musical Organizations. Even today, the Purduettes remain the choice group for many audiences.

May 23, 2013
An open forum Thursday afternoon gave the public a chance to give the Virginia Department of Transportation feedback on its latest design plans for the proposed Route 29 Bypass project.
Nearly 300 people showed up to VDOT's citizen information meeting at the Holiday Inn in Charlottesville.
That's where VDOT displayed the three design concepts it is considering for the southern interchange of the Route 29 Bypass and answered questions and collected comments from the public.
On display were the original southern interchange design plan, along with two alternatives -- one that includes a loop ramp and one that utilizes a flyover.
The drawings can be viewed on the Route 29 Charlottesville Bypass project page on VDOT's website.
People opposed to the project gathered outside the meeting to collect signatures for a new petition that will be presented to VDOT, asking them to reconsider the project. Opponents say they do not feel like their opinions are being taken into consideration.
However, VDOT says they are reviewing all comments and concerns from the public.
Written comments can be submitted until June 3, 2013 to Hal Jones, Project Manager, Virginia Department of Transportation, 1601 Orange Road, Culpeper, Va., 22701.
Emailed comments should be sent to email@example.com. VDOT is asking people to put "Route 29 Charlottesville Bypass Southern Interchange" in the subject line.
Lou Hatter of VDOT says the final design phase of the project will begin after an environmental assessment is complete. He says he expects the assessment to be finished this summer.

Did the students who ranked highest academically in my eighth-grade class in 1963 end up earning the highest salaries?
Did the troublemakers end up in prison?
Last month, I attended the St. Bernadette's Class of 1963 eighth-grade reunion and, disappointingly, the above questions remain unanswered. What news I could gather from the 60 classmates — from our original class of 139 students — at the Evergreen Park American Legion Hall over pizza, hamburgers and beer did not include tax returns or police reports.
But one fact did stand out: A dominant influence in our lives over the past half-century has been the U.S. military.
The first indication of this truth came when classmate Jack Starshack pulled up to the Legion Hall in his pickup truck with a yellow and green Vietnam War campaign ribbon hanging from the rear-view mirror. Drafted more than 40 years ago, Starshack was shipped to Phu Bai, where he headed the financial division, in charge of payroll for every G.I. in the country. Though never in a firefight, he still recalls the worst sound on Earth, the metallic plunk of a mortar being launched in the direction of the nearby airfield, and for the next several seconds, the hell of uncertainty as to where it would land.
Another classmate assigned to active duty in South Vietnam declined to talk about his war years, except to tell me that he has far too many friends whose names appear on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington, D.C.
A female member of our class lost a husband to the Vietnam War. That is, he survived literally and physically, but upon his return to the states he displayed all the symptoms of what today we call post-traumatic stress disorder. The conclusion of his difficult struggle back in the real world was his walking away from the family, never to be seen again.
The young woman adapted, remarried and made a wonderful, happy life for her family. But there remains a sad and dark place in her memory, revisited on occasions such as Veterans Day.
Classmate Jerry Kamper also was drafted and shipped to Vietnam, landing in the infamous 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry of Col. David Hackworth.
Because of the notoriously brutal, "tough-love" training, Hackworth's troops became known as the most deadly and efficient fighting force in the war.
His military decorations notwithstanding, Jerry says he did nothing singularly heroic, and that he's simply honored to have been accepted as a soldier by the rest of his comrades.
Walter McCollom, who as a young man soldiered in both the U.S. Army and Illinois National Guard, continues this day to serve the country as director of military outreach for employer support of the Guard and Reserve. The outreach is a part of the U.S. Defense Department that monitors and protects rights of men and women to retain their jobs during and after terms of military service, while also providing education and assistance for National Guard and Reserve members for find jobs.
Tony Stazzone was drafted into the Army and stationed at Camp Snow near the Demilitarized Zone of South Korea for two years. After he was discharged, he married Maureen Farley, and they raised five children in the home where Tony grew up in Evergreen Park.
Veteran Dave Murphy, whom I had known since second grade (we sat alphabetically by last name) says of the military: "It changed my entire life."
He signed up for the Air Force in 1969 and fulfilled some of his duty in Tennessee and most of it in California, where he chose to stay to this day.
The Air Force, he says, brought him to the base near Barstow, Calif., where he met the woman he would marry, and they have two daughters.
After he was discharged in 1973, Murphy used the G.I. Bill to enroll in the Columbia School of Broadcasting, which led to a fabulous career as a rock 'n' roll disc jockey at megastation KCBS-FM in Los Angeles through the '80s and '90s.
Take this partial list of stories from a single grade-school class and multiply it by hundreds of thousands of schoolrooms throughout the country, and you get the sense of how war and the military have so dominated the culture of our generation.
And as long as there is war, or the threat of war anywhere on the planet, Veterans Day must be observed each year to honor the generosity and sacrifice of our brothers and sisters. And, in my case, I want to say thanks in particular to those who were by my side on St. Bernadette's playground 50 years ago, and who later went on to make the American dream possible for us all.

Undies Mondays: grab a quick Christmas bargain in the La Senza sale
La Senza has just launched its big sale online, so if you're looking for something a bit festive, now's the time to shop! There are plenty of suitably Christmas red sets, lots of lace and some seriously OTT babydolls all with up to 50% off.
La Senza's stuff is hardly subtle, but they offer a wide range of sizes and their prices are really reasonable (no surcharge for DD+ cups) so it's a good time to stock up. This Winter there's a surprising amount of pretty, less overtly sexy stuff on offer - lots of pinks, lilacs and florals alongside all the satin and lace.
Prices start at around £10 for a bra and as little as £2.50 for knickers. The Marilyn babydoll above is £22.50 down from £45 and the bras are the £13 Rita and the £12.50 raspberry 'Monroe' style.

African Slaves in Portsmouth
When the city was putting in sewer lines, about a hundred years ago, workmen dug up bones, and children went out into the street and played with the bones. These were the bones of some of the slaves who lived in Portsmouth. Perhaps they were the bones of Venus or Prince Whipple. The fact was noted and the construction continued. There are houses there now, on top of the old slave cemetery.But Valerie does not regard this with anger or defeat. She simply continues doing what she can do. She keeps looking — for Venus, for Fortune, for the past most everyone else would rather forget.

Corporate Overview
Nova Corp began in New York City in 1926 as a General Contractor. Today, Nova exclusively focuses on data center project development. Having completed in excess of 7 Million SF of Mission Critical data centers worldwide, NOVA has evolved into the 21st century. Nova has been intimately involved with the development of the standards that establish data center environments as we know them today. This has been achieved by Nova staff acting as peer review with major industry design firms and renowned corporate clientele. Many of the facilities Nova has delivered have recently been acquired by major firms such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, among others, all recognizing benefit from the core infrastructure that was established.
Nova's exclusive Mission Critical focus has continually netted substantially earlier occupancy for our clients. This has been achieved by interacting with select design firms and a proven subcontractor base in each market.
Nova has completed multiple Mission Critical facilities of varying sizes, exceeding millions of square feet of data center environments. Our knowledge of the local market and excellent relative working relationships, confirms a successful project delivery.
Equipment delivery dates are a critical component in the success of any project. Nova is proud to relay the beneficial terms and delivery dates which we hold with most of the major industry manufacturers. Nova's mission is to be The source for on-time and on-budget; Conceptual Design, and Construction Management of Mission-Critical/Data Center Facilities.
We accomplish this by merging 80 years of experience in Facility Design and Construction Management expertise. Having project managed the fit-out of over four million square feet of Mission Critical space, Nova continually demonstrates its ability to deliver state-of-the-art facilities to our customers at a considerable benefit to cost and time savings.
Is Nova a licensed engineer?
Nova performs conceptual engineering in-house with its highly qualified mission critical engineering team. This provides our clients with a rapid response to questions with data center potentials and solutions to challenges. Once a project develops further, Nova then hires a qualified engineering firm to complete the construction documents. For this, Nova can align one of its strong alliances, or the firm can be pre-selected by the client.
How long does it take to do a Site Assessment?
For a typical size data center facility, Nova can visit the space and complete an evaluation report with proposed solutions in approximately 2 weeks.
Does Nova complete other types of projects?
With a foundation in Construction Management, Nova is familiar with the requirements of almost any construction project. Through an exclusive focus on data centers, we offer our clients an acute understanding of the requirements in this very specialized field. However, when developing new facilities, there typically is a requirement for administration offices, building core work and other support areas. With this understanding, Nova has and can be engaged on a per-project basis to develop these support areas in other capacities or locations for its clients. Nova has built several different types of commercial projects, including TV and Satellite Radio studios, large office spaces, medical support facilities and clean room laboratories.
Is there an advantage of building a data center in an existing building over a Greenfield project?
The advantage of developing in an existing facility is time. Many of Nova's clients choose to build in existing spaces as it delivers a speed to market solution in a shorter amount of time. Project planning differences exist between building in a typical existing space and a new out of the ground structure. This can be seen as a schedule-driven decision for an organization.
What other types of creative expertise does Nova offer?
Whatever the objective is, Nova can provide options for a solution. With a dedicated staff of engineers, architects, estimators, project managers and supervisors, Nova understands data centers. Through an unparalleled level of expertise, Nova assists its clients by providing several perspectives on a project solution, understanding data center requirements such as, watts per square foot, price per kW, cabinet area maximization, CFD analysis, high density solutions, power monitoring and building management systems, security, green options etc. Whatever the objective, Nova can employ its specialized team to find the solution.

My Blog
Kaye: "The major news that nobody cares about is China has now announced something we've been anticipating for quite some time, which is they are now going to be invoicing their oil imports in renminbi. This is another major step in China sidestepping the US dollar as the world's reserve currency....
Continue reading the William Kaye interview below...
To hear which company legendary Keith Barron founded, personally
invested millions into, and is poised to become
a uranium superpower click on the logo:
"This means that China will have bilateral trading arrangements with Russia and the other major countries, such as Iran, that provide energy to China. So, again, this is another brick out of the wall for the US dollar and by the same token US hegemony.
But nobody seems to care, and if you noticed, instead of gold spiking $50 or $100 higher on that news, it was smashed lower. In a way this should come as no surprise because this is exactly what has happened on gold bullish news practically all year.
But what we also know, based on press reports, is that the gold Hugo Chavez worked so hard to secure before he mysteriously died, some of that gold is being reclaimed in a financing arrangement, which on the surface appears quite complex. So I don't want to speak about that because as a former investment banker I would need to see the term sheets and so forth. I don't want to rely on an anecdotal press report which really was fairly incomplete as it related to the details.
But what was very clear in the press reports (out of Caracas) was that because of the pressure on the Venezuelan economy, the new Prime MInister Maduro, the guy who replaced Chavez, is essentially leasing back to the West, with Goldman Sachs being the broker who would be the custodian, at least some of the gold that Chavez had retrieved.
I guess there are a few ways of looking at this: One is that this certainly would be a marker for desperation on the part of the bullion banks and the Western central banking system, including the agent bullion banks, to get gold from whatever sources they can. We've talked about GLD and exchange-traded funds in the past, and by the way, they have consistently been raided this week after being left alone for a while. So that looting is starting to reoccur. Now you have this Venezuelan deal.
I'm not sure what we are going to see next, but one thing is for sure, the prosecution of this scam is still ongoing. I can tell you that based on the data we have on yesterday's AM and PM fixes in London, an enormous amount of gold changed hands. I would assume China was a big part of that.
I can also tell you that at this $1,240 area there is immense sovereign wealth fund and central bank interest for physical gold. I strongly believe they will continue to demand spot allocation. So the war in gold is now becoming frenetic. The paper gold smash, which can be totally controlled by the Western central banks, and the agent bullion banks, is now being met front and center by enormous physical demand from my area of the world.
At the end of the day, the bet I've made, and it's a major bet, is that the forces of good will win. But at the moment, the forces of darkness are still ruling the paper market. I can assure you that even though these dark forces are winning some battles, they will definitely lose the war, and as they are defeated the price of gold will experience an enormous re-pricing to the upside. We are talking about a move higher that will shock the world."

War In Gold Intensifies As Massive Battle Rages In London
Today the man who predicted the recent takedown in the gold market ahead of time told King World News that the war in gold has now greatly intensified as a massive battle is now raging in London. William Kaye, who 25 years ago worked for Goldman Sachs in mergers and acquisitions, not only spoke about the war in gold, but he also shared with KWN additional news about the West's increasingly desperate actions in gold, as well as catalysts that will change the course of the battle. Below is what Kaye had to say in this fascinating and powerful interview.

Hi guys, I've been playing on my priest for a few years and right now I'm feeling a lil bit frustrated about her.
I'm raiding BoT, TO4 & BwD on normal difficulty and I can't keep it up; I think I had read everything about Holy Priest Gemming, Enchanting, etc but I'm still going OOM all the time and standing at the bottom of the meters.
I know meters doesn't really matters if ppl is not dying on you BUT it's no fun seeing an undergeread holy paladin being top healer with 40% of healing done and 10K+ HPS and I'm third with 28% of healing done and 8K HPS.
This is the link to Höpe's armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...C3%B6pe/simple
I don't know if it is my gear, my talents or maybe my playstyle; but I'd really appreciate any advicce you can give me.
