Sidney Arroyo is a progressive political activist and consultant who has worked on numerous campaigns in the New Orleans area.
''we find them (the pictures insulting to muslims) offensive, and we certainly understand why muslims would find these images offensive. anti-muslim images are as unacceptable as anti-semitic images, anti-christian images, or any other religious belief."
"fags, dykes, homos, fairies, lesbos, queers, fudge packers, muff divers, perverts, hell awaits you."
"homo sex a threat to national security."
this has been a hell of a bad week for republicans. no one can wreck the gop like the gop can:
-it's been disclosed that even now, today, willard mitt romney is making millions of dollars outsourcing u.s. workers' jobs to china, closing an illinois factory to pursue cheaper labor and excess profits in communist china; what's worse, adding insult to injury, the displaced workers are being compelled to train their chinese replacements before they get sent to the welfare lines.
last night i attended an informational forum entitled "public forum on journalism: where do we go from here?" at loyola university's nunemaker auditorium. it was presented as a conversation with the public about the future of journalism.
while media insiders and new media fans were probably enthralled with what transpired, I don't think it was the conversation that a lot of the people of new orleans were wanting.
now that the niceties are officially over, let's sum up briefly where we are in the great new orleans newspaper war, shall we:
-anyone who disagrees with the little dick mathews/newhouse clan's dismantling of our daily paper goes straight into a newhouse file labeled "noise".
-the impressive "v.i.p. letter" signed by everyone from tom benson to archie manning to business and community leaders to the pope etc. is being used as toilet paper by the smug ownership of the paper.
-the 10,000-signature petition to the owners calling for a return to daily newspaper publications is facing a similar fate as the v.i.p. letter.
all the genteel attempts at civil discourse between new orleanians and our newspaper's carpetbagging owners have been disdainfully rejected by an arrogant corporate family. and to that i say, thank god that's over with! because if you've read my stuff before you know that none of this comes as a surprise to yours truly. these failed attempts at persuasion only delayed the inevitable next phase of the war of the newspaper.
July is one of the hottest months of the year in New Orleans and it's time to turn up the heat on the management of the newly disfigured SomeTimes Picayune. Their insistence that they will reduce daily print editions of the TP and herd us like cattle to their cookie cutter website, regardless of what their public desires, can spark a real revolt against an uncaring and arrogant media conglomerate .
a few words on obamacare: stunned, in a good way.
whatever supreme court chief justice john roberts was smoking, send me a bowl full please.
the gop are crying about obamacare as if they've been crucified, but it was their supreme court judge who drove the last nail into their cross, their judge who fashioned their crown of thorns. roberts' vote was the deciding vote.
by the way, those injuries will now be covered by obamacare.
boycott nola.com to make its owners listen
why is the ownership of the some-times-picayune and its bastard child nola.com shafting the people of south louisiana? the answer is simple: because they are greedy and smug and stupid. they've already made crystal clear that the letters, and rallies, and vip statements imploring them to reconsider mean less than nothing to them. they're ignoring us.
so much news in so little time
so much news in such a short time. lets' review what's been happening lately across this great land, shall we? several topics to hit today:
the bishops of the american catholic church are at the vanguard of the teabag political movement, marching in lockstep with their fellow evangelical fascists who want to control every aspect of people's personal lives. they don't want to pay for their employees' health care like everyone else, yet they want to mandate, by law, for everyone else how to maintain the sanctity of their sperm and ovaries. it's called hypocrisy.

Warmup laps for a sprint car race in Northern California turned deadly Saturday night when one of the racecars hit two people who were in the pit area. According to a report on CBS Sacramento, the 14- and 68-year-old victims were both in the pit area of Marysville Raceway Park (about 40 miles north of Sacramento) when Chase Johnson, 17, lost control of his racecar – possibly due to a mechanical malfunction – and left the track at around 90 miles per hour. Some news reports have indicated that the teenage victim was the driver's cousin, and the 68-year-old victim owned some of the cars entered in the race.
Unlike most larger racetracks, the pit area at Marysville is located outside of the racing surface, so if Johnson was unable to turn, it could explain why his car went straight into the pits. A witness' statement in the some news reports indicate that the car may have had a stuck throttle, but there has been no definitive information released as of yet to say exactly what happened. The track's website states that it requires everyone in the pit area to be at least 14 years old.
This isn't Marysville Raceway Park's first fatal incident. In August of 2010, two competitors crashed during a semi truck race, killing one of the drivers. Scroll down to watch a couple of local news reports about the tragedy.

Ever wonder what secrets of the past are buried underneath downtown St. Paul skyscrapers? How about Nicollet Mall or the U of M campus? When thinking of archaeological dig sites, it might be easy to go to extremes, imagining the cinema-friendly stereotype, an Indiana Jones-type character carefully making his way through a long-lost ancient temple in search of a jewel the size of a pillow. Perhaps not as dramatic, yet still very interesting, this Sunday archaeologist Kent Bakken will be discussing upcoming and ongoing archaeological digs around the concrete-laden areas of our cities. In conjunction with National Archaeology Week, the talk will touch on various projects, including excavations at Mill Ruins Park and in the Elliot Park neighborhood. The Elliot Park excavations are a community-based project now in its fifth year. Volunteers each year are invited to a specified site where people unearth things like broken pitchers, bits of what once was a porch, and other items kept in the backyards of the 19th-century houses that once existed in the area. Yes, history is still alive, despite sometimes being hidden beneath gravel or a slab of concrete.

Falling pound brings iTunes UK into line with Europe
Apple no longer needs to lower the price of songs on iTunes UK in order to achieve pricing parity with the rest of Europe - fluctuating exchange rates have done the job for it. Back in January, Apple pledged to unify the cost of dowloads across Europe in order to head of the possibility that it might be forced to do so by …
How long...
..until Webster turns up here claiming Apple deliberately caused the value of the pound to drop just to prevent them lowering their price?
Only one conclusion
Time for us to join the €
Apple - marketing and PR excellence
Look at the promise of "it'll be $199 irrespective of where you are" for the iPhone 3G
Nice. Congratulations. Except that the sole supplier deals means the monthly contracts obscure the price of the phone... just look at O2's tariffs, it's not just a UK problem but in other regions as well. Currency variations means Apple will have to adjust prices. It gets complex, the article is about iTunes and they control the retail prices of those, in the EU they can only set "recommended" prices I think...
Of course, we all have a choice. I don't own any Apple hardware and I don't buy from iTunes. I do like the new iPhone, however, I'll let the first adopters determine if it's really worth the premium.
Not only do they create the second coming of mobiles, but they now also have control of the currency markets! All that needs to happen now is for Jobs to be crucified and resurrect to save mankind......
Of course...
..if we'd joined the Euro in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem....
Must have been a tough job
Manipulating the European money markets just so Apple don't have to change their prices.
Now the hard part, Adobe have to make the US Dollar = Sterling to attain price parity for Photoshop
All we need to do now
is get the A Rabs to sell us oil in euros rather than dollars and we'll be able to afford to travel to work again.
@ Tony Chandler
Can't be long, I'll check back later.
Hm, want to join €uroland? Really? I thought it was RIP OFF BRITAIN!!! anyway and already, so do you really really want switch the currency? Not only is there real world cost associated (all those lonely grubby rubber dispensers out in the shire...) but everyone who can takes it for an excuse to raise prices 50-100%. So if you fancy being told a lesson about the power of statistics (calculated "real" inflation versus the real pain in your pocket) just come and join €uroland. It's a fun ride.
Joining the Euro isn't an option, to do that you need to be in ERMII for 2 years (3? Can't quite remember).... but your currency needs to be stable BEFORE you can join. It's not that you can just join to make the UK currency stable.
"All we need to do now...is get the A Rabs to sell us oil in euros rather than dollars and we'll be able to afford to travel to work again."
Well yes, Iran is refusing to take US$, Russia trades in Euros for it's European sales. And the rest are reducing their dollar holdings, (thank Bush/Cheney's wild increase in money supply for that). As the next major currency Euro has risen on the back of that.
So the oil price rises are less for countries in the Euro zone than outside it.
@All we need to do now
"is get the A Rabs to sell us oil in euros rather than dollars and we'll be able to afford to travel to work again."
Didn't Sadam Hussain try that? Look what it did for him!
@bad beaver
As a resident of a country that recently adopted the euro I can tell you that things have got expensive here - my income is in pounds sterling.
Dual pricing (old & euro) for the first year to ensure that there's no rip-offs in the change-over, which means that prices have increased at the same rate as the rest of the world due to increased fuel & food costs.
I recall sexy Cecil Parkinson (Thatcher's hatchet man) explaining why Britain should not join the euro - it would mean all those people who make a living buying and selling money would be out of work. I would like to admit that my first thoughts were of these poor people undergoing hardship, sadly I have to confess it was "fuck them".
@ Kwac
Ahh, good old dual pricing... just wait till that year is over.

Pretty much all guidance pointing to another cold shot with big negative departures after a too-brief warmup. There has been talk of this development in several other threads so I figure it would make sense to consolidate it here. This shot probably ensures another negative departure month for most of the area in this annoyingly cold winter. Whether this cold snap can help snow chances is a discussion for another thread. Pretty blue images below.

I figured I would give this a shot since the threat currently shown on the Euro during this time frame was being discussed in the mid-week thread. The GFS now has a storm in this period as well but currently is modeled OTS. Decent support from Euro ENS.
Going in this storm's favor: Cold air in place, modeled high pressure, historic significance in analogous winters (94). As modeled on today's Euro this would be an extremely high impact event but still a long way out.
Edit: Hearing the always entertaining Euro control run is a flat out HECS with snowfall in feet for the cities in the MA. Hopefully it stays off of Facebook.
I would love to hear what the sorcery division has to say about this one...
And now some pictures.

Some variation of storm potential has been showing up on the models and ensembles with a fairly strong storm signal. Several members have requested a topic thread to be started but I suspect are afraid to jinx it. I have no such fears. I'm at work and unable to display graphics right now but y'all know what you've been seeing so have at it below ...
For the record, I don't love this one but enough people have been talking it up on other threads that making this one made sense for consolidated conversations sake

Reports of rain in Virginia.
Temps and precip shield really not what you want to see for a solid snow storm. SE PA through LI look to get some snow so it's only fitting that a SE PA member opens the thread. Good luck everyone...

Office of Admissions
Phone: (540) 568-5681
The enrollment for the university is authorized by the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia. The number of students admitted each year is limited by the resources available to the university.
Visiting the University
We encourage prospective students to attend a group information session and a walking tour of campus. To check our visitation schedule and make a reservation, visit www.jmu.edu/admissions/visit.shtml. In inclement weather, the Office of Admissions cancels conferences and tours. If weather conditions are severe, please call the Office of Admissions, (540) 568-5681, before you come.
Freshman Admission
JMU's admission process is competitive. In fact, we receive more qualified
applications than we can accommodate. For the 2005 admissions process,
approximately 65 percent of applicants were admitted; however, 90 percent
of the applicants were competitive. There is not a prescribed formula
for gaining admission. The admissions committe works to select the strongest
candidates from a high quality pool.
Academic Program
Competitive applicants should minimally have the following:
Students who challenge themselves with the upper-level courses offered in their high school (i.e. Honors-level courses, Advanced Placement classes, dual enrollment) increase their competitiveness. Although schools provide different opportunities, applicants should pursue the most demanding college preparatory programs available. Because strong students come from many different types of schools, we evaluate applicants within the context of their high schools.
Academic Achievement
To evaluate achievement in high school, we evaluate grades in the core subject areas: mathematics, English, foreign language, social studies and lab sciences. A competitive candidate is an "A" or "B" student in core courses. We look at performance throughout the entire high school career.
Standardized Tests
Performance on the SAT I or ACT helps discern past academic achievements
and potential for future academic success.
Extracurricular Activities
We are looking for quality rather than quantity. For instance, we like to see what applicants have done in clubs, organizations and athletics beyond just being members. We also consider community service and part-time jobs. We look at the variety and depth of your involvement. Applicants must be academically competitive before extracurricular activities are reviewed.
International Admission
The Office of International Admissions is responsible for
the admission and enrollment of undergraduate international students. It also evaluates "A" Level examinations for academic credit.
Credit will be awarded for those courses equivalent to courses offered at JMU in which the student has earned a grade of "C" or better.
Credit for International Examinations
JMU will follow the recommendations of the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials when awarding academic credit based on international examinations. Questions regarding the evaluation of international examinations should be directed to the Office of International Admissions.
International Baccalaureate
JMU recognizes the International Baccalaureate diploma and individual IB courses by awarding credit on IB higher-level examinations in essentially the same manner in which credit is allowed for Advanced Placement courses. Typically, credit hours will be awarded for each higher-level examination on which a score of five, six or seven has been earned.
Some standard-level examinations will also be considered for credit. The university encourages the completion of the IB diploma and will give special consideration for admission to students who have completed the IB program. The grading scale is from one to seven, with seven being the highest score.
International Baccalaureate Courses
Higher-Level IB Courses1
Standard-Level IB Courses1
German Abitur
Students with the German Abitur for 13 years only may be awarded up to 30 credit hours of advanced standing. Awarding of credit will be based on a grade of "C" or better. A passing grade will be equivalent to six credit hours in the subject.
United Kingdom "A" Level Examinations
Credit will be awarded to those students who receive a C or higher on an "A" level exam. Credit will be comparable to completing the two-course introductory sequence(six credit hours) in the subject.
Special Admission Requirements
In addition to regular freshman and transfer admission requirements, students who want to major in music, theater or dance must also complete an on-campus audition. Prospective art students who intend to major in studio art are encouraged to submit a portfolio and be interviewed.
Students unable to travel to JMU may send a videotape, color photographs or slides of their work in support of their art application.

Talented artists with a penchant for mullets should listen up: the Gulfport Historical Society (GHS) needs your talent! This year, the city's annual birthday bash has some new events in store, but at least one thing will remain the same: the annual mullet toss.
Along with a new and improved birthday bash, the Society wants to design a new shirt for the city's 103rd birthday. Artists should submit a design building on the theme "Toss Your Mullet in Gulfport!" no later than July 31. Mullets depicted in the artwork must be physically accurate and the overall design should be clean, eye-catching, and, according to the Society, funky.
"We want something that's definitely 'Gulfport'," GHS President Miki Vaughan says. Please e-mail print-quality (at least 300 dpi) designs to email@example.com or mail them to the Gulfport Historical Society, care of the City of Gulfport 2401 53rd Street South, Gulfport, FL 33707.

WITH MORE THAN 200 SKI RUNS, 37 lifts and about 10 metres (34 feet) of average snowfall every year, it's no wonder Whistler Blackcomb is considered one of the best ski and snowboard resorts in North America. With all that snow, Whistler also offers tons of other winter activities. Why not take a dogsledding tour, discover some of the peaceful surrounding backcountry on snowshoes, try out the Olympic cross-country ski trails or discover the area on snowmobile? With countless outdoor and indoor recreation options in Whistler there's no chance you'll be left wondering what to do.
Skiing & Snowboarding
Picture an endless winter landscape of sparkling white, snow-covered slopes dotted with a million evergreen trees. Now picture yourself riding down those very same slopes while exploring over 8,100 acres of terrain available on both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. read more
Cross-country skiing
As the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games demonstrated, cross-country skiers are among the world's fittest athletes, and as with many sports, doing it at the highest level requires long hours of meticulous training and the best coaches. read more
Winter is unquestionably a magical time in Whistler, and not just because the powder skiing here is second to none. Those looking to experience Whistler's outdoor winter wonderland at a slower pace — and have the chance to see wildlife in its natural habitat — can do so on snowshoes. read more
The crisp, cold air crackles around you as you start your powerful machine. The engine roars to life, ready to carry you quickly and comfortably into the snowy wildness of a mountain range or a wide-open ice cap. The electric thrill of excitement that you'll feel at the adventures lying ahead is uniquely charged by the epic world of snowmobiling in the expansive Whistler and Pemberton area. read more
Peak 2 Peak

Can you tell me more about the kids prizes. My kids (elementary and high school) suspect it is "just a pencil or something". I want to get them fired up about reading this summer!
Teen prizes?
Thank you for your interest in the Mayors Summer Reading Challenge. Elementary kids earn prizes for every 200 minutes read. Prizes are coupons from area businesses for free food and activities. At 600 minutes, they earn a grand prize entry. Grand prizes include Kindle Fires, Roughrider tickets, a Story Time backpack, and FAC prize packs.
Teens earn prizes for every 200 minutes read. Prizes are coupons from area businesses for free food and activities. At 600 minutes, earn a grand prize entry. Grand prizes include Kindle Fires, Rough-rider tickets, and Frisco Athletic Center prize packs.
Please email us at email@example.com or call us 972-292-5669 if you have any questions. Have a great day.
More details please
Can you give more details about "food and activities"?
More details please
You will get prize pack with coupons for free food and fun stuff to do around Frisco like Frisco Athletic Center, Heritage Museum, Mooyah Burger etc.
Thank you
Mooyah. Okay, now I can work with that when talking to the kids.
Thank You!
Mooyah. That is something I can explain to the kids. Thank you, this starts to help.
Teens too?
Are the food and activities above the same for the teens?
Re: Teens too?
The teen prize packs include coupons for the locations listed above. There is some overlap between the kid and teen prize packs, but there are also some items unique to each age group.
Age Prizes
What are the unique prizes for teens?
Re: Age Prizes
We don't list the exact prizes because different sponsors provide different quantities of prizes, so the prize packs may vary slightly.
However, we have added the logos for the businesses and organizations sponsoring prizes for the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge to the Summer webpage. You can visit the Teens page to see the generous sponsors providing coupons for the Teen prize packs.
No internet
Is there a paper version for tracking minutes? We don't have internet at home and can only visit the library inside to check out books once a month. Using the computers there is a hassle with the crazy crowds and two little kids.
No Internet
If you do not have internet access, please record your information on paper, include the participant's name, and stop by the 2nd Floor Summer Reading table or AskUS desk. We will be glad to assist you in keeping track of your reading this summer. Thank you for participating in the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge.
We miss the ease of the paper logs too at our house. Can you explain why we need two different library accounts? It is a little crazy trying to keep up with the one account for getting books and the other account for the reading of those books. Why not all in one place?
Re: Paper
You're right. Having all the information in one location would be more convenient. Unfortunately, there isn't a software package that allows that (yet).
The convenience features of this year's software are geared towards minimizing the number of log ins you have to create:
- Use the Adults/Families tab to register multiple family members under a single log in
- Use your existing library card number and password as your summer reading log in
We will pass your comments along to the software vendors and continue to evaluate the various options for tracking summer reading each year.
We like paper too
The paper logs were much easier and something the kids understood better. Too many passwords already.
Re: We like paper too
We agree that there are too many passwords. One option is to use your library card number and password as your summer reading login and password so you don't have to create (and remember) new ones.
You're welcome to create and use your own paper log at home and then enter the number of minutes read online once a day -- or even just once a week. We have computers set aside at the library for updating the logs, if that would be more convenient for you.
Software vendor?
You mentioned a software vendor above for these accounts. How much is this software? How much is the paper method?
Re: Software vendor?
We take our responsibility to spend funds in a fiscally prudent manner very seriously. In doing so, we look for products that provide the best value, taking into account factors that include initial cost, long-term benefits, and improvements to staff efficiency.
In the past, paper reading logs were provided to public libraries by the state. Since state funding for public libraries was cut in 2012, we have had to purchase or create our own in-house.
The in-house cost of printing 13,000 paper logs is $1495. However, going online also eliminates the staff labor of creating, printing, handing out, and collecting paper logs, estimated at $4535, leading to a total cost of $6030 for paper logs. The software license cost $2900.
Online registration and logging also provides several other benefits, for both the Library and participants:
- The Library can accommodate more participants without a corresponding increase in staff labor to handle the creation, printing, handing out, and collecting of paper logs.
- The Library was able to add the Learning Badge component to the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge. These are STEM-based activities designed to prevent the loss of academic skills many students experience during summer vacation ("summer slide").
- The Library is able to gather more accurate information about participation levels and outcomes.
- Participants have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the convenience of online registration and logging.
- Online logs allow participants to share their experience in new ways, like writing reviews of books read and activities completed.
- Online logs are more environmentally-friendly.
If you would like to discuss this in further detail, please contact the library and speak with the director, Shelley Holley.
I have been searching to find what the incentives are for teens and can't find them. Are they secret?
See the drawing prizes, but not the reward/prizes for minutes. My teen's comment on the prize drawing: "I could spend the same time working and I would be able to buy it and that is a guarantee ..why would I work as hard for high odds of getting nothing? Mom, I paid attention in math."
Re: Frustrated
We are sorry to hear that you are frustrated. On the plus side, it sounds like you're raising a wise teen. (Though, we librarians might beg to differ at the suggestion that reading is work.)
The incentives are not a secret, but we don't list the exact coupons because different sponsors provide different quantities, so prize packs may vary slightly. However, each teen prize pack contains coupons for things to do and places to eat.
The Teens Summer Reading page has a box showing all the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge sponsors (you may need to scroll down to see it), who generously provide the coupons for the prize packs. We hope that seeing the sponsors will give you some idea of what sort of coupons to expect and relieve your frustration.
Great Prizes
Thank you! What a great variety! I think there will be several that appeal!
Great Prizes
We are so glad you like the prizes. Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you for all the hard work and businesses that have contributed. My daughters have enjoyed their free passes to the Frisco Rec Center, Heritage Museum, and Science Discovery Center already. We look forward to earning more.
Also, I've actually enjoyed the new system too. I don't have to keep up with the paper. My only struggle is remembering to log their minutes in on a daily basis!
Thanks again for a wonderful summer reading program for our Frisco kids!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it.
Re: prizes
We are pleased to hear that you and your daughters are enjoying the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge. Thank you for letting us know.
Tell you daughters congratulations on exceeding 200 minutes spent reading already!
Do you consider Craft done in KidsnArt and Swimming for badge
Do you consider Craft work done in Kidsnart and Swimming as part of craft and fitness badge activity or is it counted only if it is done in the places you have mentioned?
Re: Do you consider...
Absolutely! The activities and locations listed in the Suggested Badge Activities documents are just that -- suggestions. Any craft counts toward the Creative Arts badge and swimming is definitely good for a Health and Fitness badge. Keep up the good
work fun!
Entry with Dates
Just a suggestion. It would be great to be able to enter the date the activity was completed when entering the log. It's not feasible for us to enter our activities each day at the end of the day.
Re: Entry with Dates
Thank you for the suggestion. We'll see if adding dates to entries is an improvement we can make in the future.
In the meantime, please don't worry about it. You are more than welcome to enter activities (and minutes spent reading) on whatever schedule works best for you: daily, weekly, or even monthly.
prize listed where?
So I see everyone is saying the prizes look great, but I can't see them when I try to sign up on my phone. Where are they listed?
Re: prize listed where?
We apologize for the confusion. Unfortunately, the prizes sponsors can't be viewed on a phone. If you visit www.friscolibrary.com/summer on a computer or tablet, you'll be able to see all the sponsor logos on each of the age group pages. They're towards the bottom of the page, so you'll probably need to scroll down.

Stretcher! HEY! I see you stretching to compensate for the attention you're not getting. Practice routine impressions, you always tried so hard to be perfect. I've seen it so many times before, don't blame me because your life's a bore Shift. you fucking faker Give yourself to reaction formation. Lie. Liar on fire. You always need someone on your side. So come on... DON'T FORGET! To mention all the great things you did. IMPLY! You're better than everyone. Put others down to put yourself on top, despite the people that you hurt The life you glamorize, exploit and ADVERTISE!, means nothing to you. Hang on the coat tails of the ones before you. crawl through the dirt, You love it. Don't you?

Basis of HTST and UHT'S Effectiveness
The effectiveness of HTST and UHT processing can be explained by thermal-process reaction kinetics. The exposure time and
temperature in these processes exploit the differences between the reaction kinetics of the inactivation of microorganisms
and of the reactions that define product quality. Quality can be broadly defined by components ranging from nutrient content
to enzyme activity, but the overall relationship remains.
The important point is that the reactions for inactivating microorganisms accelerate exponentially more than those defining
quality, regardless of the mathematical model. The z values are smaller for microbial inactivation than for the destruction
of most qualitative components. Correspondingly, the Eas are larger for microbial inactivation than for the destruction of most qualitative components.
Similarly, the iso-process line for a qualitative factor (e.g., nutrient retention) can be calculated. As shown in Figure 3, this line has a different slope because the reactions inactivating nutrients do not have the same sensitivity to temperature
change as those inactivating microorganisms. All the points below and right of this line (i.e., lower temperature and time)
retain more nutrients.
Figure 3 demonstrates why HTST and UHT processes retain quality and deliver proper lethality. Tracing the pasteurization/sterilization
line toward higher nutrient retention leads to higher-temperature and shorter-time processing conditions. The higher- temperature
and shorter-time processes retain more nutrients than the longer-time and lower-temperature processes, such as autoclaving.
In addition, a treatment combination between the lines that increases both microbial inactivation and nutrient retention can
be selected.
The significance of these relationships and this analysis are considerable. Having the reaction-kinetic parameters for the
target organism and the qualitative factor (in this case, nutrient retention) enables the selection of optimal processing
time and temperature conditions. Taken another way, determining the thermal-destruction kinetics of qualitative materials
allows them to be screened for suitability to preselected conditions. Either way, determining the thermal reaction kinetics
for the target organism and the materials that are to be retained in the actual product is valuable because it allows prediction
of their performance under a wide range of conditions using simple math and avoids problems at the production level.

Flerovium: geological information
Flerovium (systematic name ununquadium) does not occur at all in the geosphere.
Abundances of flerovium in various environments
In this table of abundances, values are given in units of ppb (parts per billion; 1 billion = 109), both in terms of weight and in terms of numbers of atoms. Values for abundances are difficult to determine with certainty, so all values should be treated with some caution, especially so for the less common elements. Local concentrations of any element can vary from those given here an orders of magnitude or so and values in various literature sources for less common elements do seem to vary considerably.
The chart above shows the log of the abundance (on a parts per billion scale) of the elements by atom number in our sun. Notice the "sawtooth" effect where elements with even atomic numbers tend to be more strongly represented than those with odd atomic numbers. This shows up best using the "Bar chart" option on the chart.

On iTunes 11
Apple just released a new version of iTunes; fiddling with it now.
It's definitely a lot faster. I'd gotten used to churning when loading app icons. Now thumbnails for movies, albums, and apps appear nearly instantly.
At first, I didn't really like the top menu bar with the different sections, but now I see its similarity to Safari's bookmarks bar. And the button to get back out of a particular area (iTunes Store, an iDevice, "done") always appears as a discrete button at the far right.
Playlists and the left sidebar, traditionally filled with small icons, are no longer omnipresent and appear in their own section (Music -> Playlists). Cover Flow also seems entirely gone.
Nice touch: click on an album cover and a "tray" appears, using colors based on the album art.

The Best History Books of the Year, So Far
As I set off on my summer holiday, thoughts inevitably turn to reading matter.
Though I may take the odd novel, of which Bryan Appleyard's meditation on fin de siècle Modernism, Bedford Park, is most attractive, I inevitably hit the beach with a bundle of history books. It's what I do.
Many of the best recent studies have been on the large side – think Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 (Allen Lane), David Scott's Leviathan: The Rise of Britain as a World Power (HarperPress) and Michael Burleigh's Small Wars, Far Away Places: The Genesis of the Modern World (Macmillan) – so a tablet comes in handy.
I've loaded mine up with Empire of the Deep: The Rise and Fall of the British Navy (Weidenfeld and Nicolson) by Ben Wilson, one of our finest, most erudite young historians, who I am sure will be up to the task of charting Britain's maritime past; Peter Heather's The Restoration of Rome: Barbarians, Popes and Imperial Pretenders (Macmillan) – I will be in Italy, after all; and Susan Wise Bauer's The History of the Renaissance World: From the Rediscovery of Aristotle to the Conquest of Constantinople (Norton).
Oh, and for light relief, PG Wodehouse. How about Piccadilly Jim?

Grand Wayne Center's board of managers voted to pay for a study that could recommend an expansion of the downtown convention center.
Board members were quick to say it is not an expansion study, and they turned down one company in the running for the work because its proposal assumed officials wanted to expand.
"We were very clear: This is not an expansion analysis, this is a utilization analysis," board President Nancy Jordan said. The study will look at the convention market in the community and the Midwest, how the Grand Wayne Center is being used and how developments downtown will affect the facility.
Grand Wayne Center Executive Director Bart Shaw said the $49,000 study by Hunden Strategic Partners of Chicago will also look at which conventions are being drawn and which are not – and why.
"It will say, 'This is the world you play in, and these are the groups you've been going after, but your best bet is to go after these groups,'" Shaw said. "It will look at how to maximize our impact in the community."
Officials concede, however, that the study may say the way to maximize the convention center's impact is to expand.
The most recent expansion, which cost $40 million and more than doubled the facility's size, opened in May 2005. And with the opening of a second hotel connected to the center, business has been booming so much that officials often struggle to fit events into the schedule.
Every year, is a record year, it seems, and the Grand Wayne is getting conventions that had been going to Indianapolis.
The $49,000 cost includes a $4,000 optional study of the convention center's marketing efforts.
"We want to make sure we're maximizing our relationship with downtown Fort Wayne, Visit Fort Wayne and the two hotels," board member Steve Brody said. "We want to make sure we're all pulling in the same direction."
Jordan said the marketing component of the study is a bargain.
"When you look at how much we spend on marketing, that's pretty reasonable to validate what we're doing or say we need to correct it," she said.

All aboard the patch wagon! Next stop: Microsoft, Adobe, Mozilla
Today, right on schedule, Microsoft's monthly security patch bandwagon rolled into town with updates for Internet Explorer, Office and Windows - with Adobe bringing up the rear. This latest instalment of Patch Tuesday addresses 33 bugs in a range of Redmond software, as revealed late last week. The flaws have been grouped into …
Hours of fun
Oh, the joy of it all !!
Windows Update, Firefox, Thunderbird, Quicktime, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, (DivX on my old Vista laptop), graphics drivers, rapid storage technology drivers, Adobe Flash. Then defrag, virus check.
3 computers, goodbye afternoon and evening.
Reminds me of someone...
I dunno, with all the security vulnerabilities Firefox needs fixed every month, more and more they look like Internet Explorer - every month they fix some gaping security hole, and every month the fix creates a brand new hole.
I re-purpose older laptops by installing Firefox 3.2.28. Fastest browser I know and still very safe.
Re: Reminds me of someone...
Pretty much all the browsers often need security fixes but Firefox 21 is a feature release. Chrome gets silent updates an IE gets patched because someone made it essential for core parts of the OS without putting it in a sandbox.
I can understand people wanting to avoid feature releases which is why there are the LTS builds which only get security updates. 17.0.6 is current.
3.2.x might be faster depending on available memory but how do you know if it's safe? It's not supported by anyone.
Re: Reminds me of someone...
3.2.x might be faster depending on available memory but how do you know if it's safe? It's not supported by anyone.
I don't know what you mean by "It's not supported by anyone". No one needs help using the browser. There are plenty of plugins available & compatible for 3.2.28, and all websites work with it, although the AOL website nags you to update Firefox.
I know Firefox 3.2.28 is safe because I ran a contest on an IT forum earlier this year, I offered to send via PayPal $100 to anyone that could show me a website that would infect a WinXP SP3 PC through the Firefox 3.2.28 browser but NOT infect the same PC with Firefox 18. It was a pretty lively discussion. Nobody won.
Re: Reminds me of someone...
You might need to move to more secure OS than WinXP if you are concerned, even Vista was a step forward. Yet GNU/Linux (or *BSD) + MAC tweaking would be almost rock solid.
Look what Mozilla is fixing now, it's more proactive work than patching for already exploitable wholes. BTW, pwn2own really had shown that it takes 24 hours for Mozilla and Google to do what Microsoft have taken 2 whole months.
Re: Reminds me of someone...
Re: Reminds me of someone...
It may take Google / Mozilla less time to release a patch than MS, but you're not necessarily comparing like with like. MS release patches every Patch Tuesday, this is what the overwhelming majority of their customers want. MS test their patches against a whole load more software combinations than Google/Mozilla. We don't know that the complexity of the code fix is the same and we don't know if the code supplied to the end user is of the same quality, or if it will need to be re-visited several times to fix the fix.
Re: Reminds me of someone...
I know Firefox 3.2.28 is safe because I ran a contest on an IT forum earlier this year,
Wow, I like your style!
Alternatively you could check the release notes for subsequent versions and write some test cases.
Can we have a King Canute icon?
Ah yes
Another evening whittled away doing updates, at least it's not warm and sunny. I wouldn't mind all these updates, but if they didn't come all at once like no 72 buses.
If only they had some way of managing the updates. Wait a minute, there's a penguin pecking at my ankle.......
Re: Ah yes
Oh yeah all evening. It took me 5 minutes to patch both my Windows 7 boxes at home last night.
Oh woe how my evening was wasted.
Re: Wait a minute, there's a penguin pecking at my ankle.......
Ah yes I had to update her indoors' Fedora netbook last night too. 303 updates!
Now that one took it's time.
Re: Ah yes
You obviously didn't bother to dig around in the options menu in Firefox to see what was new. Or check Flash hadn't allowed peer assisted crapo again once the new version installed. Or defrag any mechanical HDDs. Or virus check after all was updated to make sure nothing nasty had been slipped through (DivX update wanted 4 programs to have access through my firewall).
If you just blindly click 'ok' and trust, then it's only 5mins work.
Eadon, Eadon, where are you?
At least I've only 3 Windows machines to deal with, all the rest seem to manage this one their own ;)
It'll mean I get a pint off the lass for sorting the nag screens out for the updates anyway.
Update on shutdown, go to bed.
Start machine next day, done. :)
You have to say his name *three* times!
Adobe Reader
It staggers me how many security holes pop up in Adobe Reader. It has one function: Display PDFs on the screen and maybe print them if you want to. If Adobe stripped away all the bloat they surround it with then would most of those disappear?
(PS - I know alternatives like Foxit exist. If only my company's IT department would let us install them...)
Foxit in a corporate enviroment
There you go. Plenty of other Corportate Lockdown beating apps there.
Re: Adobe Reader
Display PDFs on the screen and maybe print them if you want to. If Adobe stripped away all the bloat they surround it with then would most of those disappear?
Exactly, however Adobe might be just particularly good at bad code.
I know alternatives like Foxit exist.
In the world without Windows...errr I mean without walls :-) there are quite a few of those. kpdf, xpdf, ocular, evince/atril, even gv. (Emacs can do it inside X , I don't use it for pdf viewing though.) They all seem to be much lighter and are capable of rendering more formats than A. Reader is. Say evince/atril support pdf,dvi,ps,djvu and more.
Re: Adobe Reader
Foxit Reader has one function: Display PDFs on the screen and maybe print them if you want to.
Even this (allegedly) bloat free software had a critical vuln couple of months ago.
Being alternative doesn't necessarily equal better.
Re: Adobe Reader
"Even this (allegedly) bloat free software had a critical vuln couple of months ago."
Still doing a lot better than Adobe's steaming pile of e-excrement.
The strangest thing is why lazy corporate IT managers tolerate Adobe Reader. Week after fucking week my machine is brought to a crawl by "essential" Adobe security updates. And every so often we still get spanked by one of the unfixed vulns. In fact, corporate IT managers seem to have a love with shitty, insecure software. My work machine runs XP, an obsolete version of IE, Adobe, and God knows what other dysfunctional, CPU hogging crapware.
If you work in corporate IT, I'd just like to offer you this hint: I hate you. In fact everybody hates you. Apart from hackers.
Re: Adobe Reader
"Foxit Reader has one function"
Actually, that is not correct. Most importantly to me, it can save bookmarks inside the .pdf. Also, you can draw, annotate, export, and a few other things I never use, but I do use bookmarks a lot.
If anyone knows of a Linux reader that can save bookmarks into the .pdf, please list it. I've been running an older version of foxit through wine for some time now being the newer versions don't run properly, but I'm only doing that because the bookmarks save directly into the .pdf. Okular, which I like the most doesn't do this.
Re: Adobe Reader
Bye Bye FoxIt, it's been fun ;-(
Re: Adobe Reader
If you work in corporate IT, I'd just like to offer you this hint: I hate you. In fact everybody hates you. Apart from hackers.
As someone who used to work in corporate IT, and was put in charge of making an image before I would like to say don't blame the IT person who made the image. Here's a little story on why images act like crap, and its not the IT techs fault.
When I was tasked with making an image I made one that booted very fast(under 30 seconds, and this was over 9 years ago), and honestly was extremely responsive, but the IT director forced me to install a pile of garbage most of which no one even used anymore. After I installed what the director wanted the boot time of the computer went from 30 seconds to 4+ minutes... Responsiveness also plummeted to behaving like I was trying to run windows 95 on a 386sx with 4 gigs of ram (which btw was possible as I did it for fun).
After that I was the one that had to deal with all the complaints about how unresponsive the systems were, and how they ran like crap cause hey I made the image, and it was my fault not the person in charge who forced changes. I then went and made another clean image not showing it to the director this time, and installed the bare minimum, and only installed what users needed by department, not the typical full of crap for every department image.
I ended up making the users happy, but in the end got written up months down the line when a tech went and reported it to be a dick as he saw some things were missing from one of the pc's as the user couldn't figure out how to turn it on, and reported that it was broken.
For the record the IT director refused to use the default image cause he hated how slow it was...
Re: Adobe Reader
"The last straw was upgrading to the latest version recently to discover that they've removed the ability to stop PDFs opening in a browser"
I updated mine last night, there was a tickbox to stop it opening pdf`s in a browser on the first dialog that popped up.
Re: Adobe Reader @Kevin 6 20:51
"I ended up making the users happy, but in the end got written up months down the line when a tech went and reported it to be a dick as he saw some things were missing from one of the pc's as the user couldn't figure out how to turn it on, and reported that it was broken."
So you installed a non-standard image behind your own department's backs. How the hell did you think they'd react when they found out? If X is supposed to be there and it isn't, then reporting that fact isn't being a dick - it's trying to fix a problem. If there are standard builds a deviation from that standard is the first suspect. In a corporate environment it's easy to make yourself look better than others by ignoring the rules, but as far as I'm concerned you shot yourself in the foot at the same time as stabbing your team in the back. As for the IT director - well, RHIP, after all.
Re: Adobe Reader
> 386sx with 4 gigs of ram
Holy crap. I want the PC you had 9yrs ago.
Oh no theres one other plugin with security as useful as a chocolate teapoot
Java. Just wait for it. Java 7 u30 and Java 6 u50.
And it wouldn't be a security update story without…
Classic, just classic.
Another hole, another patch...
Life goes on.
Same story next month. We all gripe about it, and yes in a perfect world software would be "right", but the standards of production of software (and bugs) has been set and we all obey.
Till next time...
Office 2007 not getting auto-updates for security patches
At least that has been my experience. I understand not getting program updates after going into extended support, but no security updates? MS is REALLY starting to creep me out...
Re: Office 2007 not getting auto-updates for security patches
I am getting security updates for Office 2007.
And Ubuntu 12.04
Kernel just rev'ed to 3.2.0-43.

The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory until 9 a.m. today for the Indiana counties of Adams, Allen, Blackford, Cass, DeKalb, Elkhart, Fulton, Grant, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Marshall, Miami, Noble, Pulaski, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, White and Whitley.
Widespread dense fog is developing overnight because of high pressure overhead along with light winds, residual moisture and clear skies with near-zero visibility at times. The fog will persist through daybread before lifting.
Travel will be affected throughout northeast Indiana including the corridors of Interstate 80. U.S. 6 and U.S. 30.
A dense fog advisory means visibility will frequently be reduced to less than one-quarter mile. Drivers should slow down, use their headlights and leave plenty of distance between vehicles.
