Until now, imaging a brain during activity was impossible. The common technique in research labs has been anesthetizing a rat and then using Positron Emission Tomography, or PET, scans. But now researchers from Brookhaven National Laboratory have created a PET head cover that allows them to study a rat's brain as it navigates a maze or enjoys a hunk of cheese.
The Rat Conscious Animal PET, or the RatCAP, is a donut-shaped cover that fits on a rat's head. It weighs only 250 grams and is further designed to not interfere with rat movement by containing a set of springs and motion stabilizers. After a rat is injected with a radioactive molecule, a tracer that emits gamma rays that the PET can detect, they are set free on the wheel or maze or whatever lab task the researchers have in mind.
In initial studies with the RatCAP, the researchers used a tracer that showed the levels of dopamine in the brain during different levels of activity. The brain levels of dopamine, a chemical involved in movement, memory and reward-response reactions, were previously thought to increase with activity. Surprisingly though, the more active the rats in caps were, the less of the chemical that showed up in the scan.
The RatCAP will especially intrigue neurologists who typically only study behavior and can now combine their work with precise brain imaging, or scientists concerned only with the chemicals and molecular processes in the brain who can extend their work to behavior. In the video below, Brookhaven scientist Paul Vaska explains more about work.

An emergency food program, Helping Hands is a resource for "First Responders," who are regularly first on scene during an emergency or crises, and encounter a family or household without food or immediate food resources. These responders can contact us on behalf of those families and obtain a non-perishable food box, that same day, to help them through their emergency. One box has enough food to take care of a family of four for three days and the number of boxes is determined by the size of the household. With just some basic information about the household, the process is as simple as a phone call to our office or stopping by our warehouse in Mesa, during operating hours.
In addition, this program was expanded to include secondary responders. State/city agencies or contracted service providers who are the next step in assistance for families coming through crises or households of no-to-low income, in need of a variety of resources. These program partners are often in direct contact with families and households, facilitating additional services, and often have first-hand knowledge that a need for food assistance may still exist. When other food resources are not available or accessible, these partners can contact United Food Bank, then pick up and deliver emergency food boxes to these families.
For more information on this program, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

10 Steps to CSS Success: Browser, User, Author
Last updated Oct 17, 2003.
CSS is a technical language. But, it's meant to address many aspects of presentation. In other words, it's a technology for designers—and therein lies the challenge with those who set out to learn it.
Typically, CSS is taught as a technical language no matter the audience. In this series, I'm going to walk the balance beam (I once fell off of one, so don't be surprised if I cause a few bruises along the way) and attempt to find the language to express to a broad audience the fundamentals, complexities and even advanced techniques as to how to master CSS and begin to apply it in an immediate, beneficial way.
Markup is from Mars, CSS from Venus
One of the first things to remember about CSS is that it's all about relationships. The primary relationship that CSS has is to the document, be it HTML or some form of XML, such as XHTML. Markup documents at their best are structural, meaningful, and ultimately, quite linear. As such, markup is definitely the male side of the relationship, providing a firm, if stubborn, foundation for the more temperamental nature of CSS.
To demonstrate this, I've provided a document containing structural components including those necessary for a conforming XHTML document, and semantic use of elements to organize and linearize the content within (Listing 1).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">   <title>XHTML document</title>
10 Steps to CSS Success

10 Steps to CSS Success is a pain-free way to learn the fundamentals of CSS. The goal isn't to make you a great designer, or teach you to be an expert CSS author. Rather, you'll be given the tools and knowledge often missed by the many individuals who learn from books, online resources, and view source without gaining a more formal understanding of the complexities within CSS.

Clothes Don't Make the Man
If I take the document I've just created and open it with a browser (pick a browser, any modern one will do) I find something interesting, if not exactly stylish. And that is that while my content appears plain, with the infamous big, bold, and ugly h1 defaults, serif fonts, and some margins around the body and paragraphs, there's still some color: blue for my links, with the infinitely usable underline beneath (Figure 1).
So while it's not exactly Armani, the document is at least modestly dressed.
Behind Every Man . . .
So, where's this minimalist style coming from? Why, the browser style sheet, of course. With so many references referring to documents that have no obvious style as "unstyled," we've created the illusion that a document, once loaded into a browser, has no style.
This is untrue. In all browsers with CSS support, it is CSS that is responsible for these defaults. And it is with browser style that we must begin to understand the basis of the fundamental relationship between markup and CSS.
Browser Style
Browser style sheets, also referred to as user agent style sheets, are those styles that are native to the browser. In some cases, this means the styles are hard-coded into the browser software. However, some browsers, including Firefox and Mozilla, use an actual .css file to handle the default styling of interpreted documents.
Listing 2 shows h1 and other styles pulled from the Firefox style sheet, showing the default styling of familiar elements.
h1 { display: block; font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; margin: .67em 0; } p, dl, multicol { display: block; margin: 1em 0; }
Browser style sheets play an important role in the relationship of markup and style, although it's an often misunderstood role. Some concerns of which you should be aware include:
- Browser styles are always overriden by relevant style rules. This means that browser styles are the weakest link in the application of style—if any rule outside the browser exists for a given element and is integrated with the document in question, that rule takes precedence over the default browser style.
- Anything left unstyled by authors and users will be styled by the browser. If you write a rule that styles your h1 elements to have a particular font, a specific size, and a color other than the browser style, all those rules will apply. However, those properties you do not include for your element—in this case, properties such as those managing display (block or inline); margin, padding, and so forth—will revert to the browser style.
- Some frustration on the part of those using CSS to style documents can emerge from a misunderstanding or lack of awareness of the role of browser style. Because browser style will apply in the absence of no other styles, if you're just starting out with CSS or not aware that the browser is controlling the appearance of unstyled elements, it's easy to become quickly frustrated or confused as to why elements continue to have features as they do.
A great way to avoid frustration and tap into the power and understanding of browser style is to always create styles for elements you are sure to be using within your documents. Alternatively, if you want the browser to continue styling aspects of your documents, you can purposely leave those styles out.
Fashionable Authoring
Now that it's clear how markup and browsers interact with regards to style, the next step is to take a look at one of the more temperamental aspects of CSS: Author styles.
Just as many a spouse complains when his or her significant other takes too long to get dressed, but appreciates the end result, so it is with a document and you as the CSS author. CSS takes time not only to understand, but to beautify and perfect. There is no place that those of us working with CSS will find this more true than when developing our own style sheets.
There are three primary author style sheet types: Inline, Embedded, and Linked.
Inline Style
Inline style is style that is added directly to an element using the style attribute as follows:

This text will align to the right.

And this text will align left, which is the browser default.

The role of an inline style is to apply style only to the one element, not to any other element within the document or site (Figure 2).
Inline styles always override browser styles and other author styles, as well as certain user styles. Early on in the history of CSS, this made good sense, but it's making far less sense as time goes on and we become more sophisticated in our practices.
Problems with inline style include:
- Inline style applies only to one discrete element. Originally an advantage in small site scenarios, this has now become clearly a disadvantage for larger sites. It's very rare that anyone will have just one discrete style necessary in a site of 10 pages or more, and even then it's more manageable to place the style elsewhere, as searching for the inline style should a change be desired becomes troublesome.
- Inline style adds weight to documents. In recent years,
much thought has been given to how to streamline markup so that it loads
and renders more quickly in browsers, enhancing the user experience and making
the document easier to manage across different media such as print and handhelds,
as well as the screen. Adding inline style is perceived as equivalent to
presentational HTML, and it's easy to see why when we compare the earlier
example to the following:

This text will align to the right.

Ironic, isn't it, that the presentational markup actually contains fewer bytes than the style necessary to achieve the same results?
- Inline style may become obsolete. Because of these reasons, and the concern that mobile and alternative devices (which XHTML is, in part, designed for) won't support the style attribute, using inline style isn't a good habit to get into. In fact, the W3C XHTML 2.0 specification (still in draft) states that the "use of the style attribute is strongly discouraged in favor of the style element and external style sheets." As such, it's pretty clear the W3C itself is keeping the style attribute around more for backward compatibility than forward movement.
There are only two reasons that inline style in contemporary practices should be used. The first is for diagnostics. Inline style, because of the weight it carries in the markup/style relationship, is more specific. This means that if you're having trouble getting a given style to work, you can apply the style inline. If it now works, you know you've got a conflict elsewhere that needs to be resolved. Just be sure to resolve the conflict and remove the diagnostic inline style prior to publishing the document, and you're good to go.
The second reason is a selfish one, and it's called laziness. Sometimes it's just faster to drop in an inline style and be done with it. This is especially true when working with blogs or content management software. Instead of changing a template, it just seems easier to give the element a quick style and move on.
Okay, I admit it. I do this quite often as is evidenced on my blog. So I'm cheating, really, and it's better if I just let you know my bad habits shouldn't become yours. That said, I now take back my reason number two and revert to this advice for inline style: Avoid it at all costs except as a temporary diagnostic tool.
Embedded Style
Embedded style is style that is added to a document using the style element in the document head.

Embedded styles control the styles for that document only. So, all the p elements in this document will get this style, unless an inline style exists. Embedded styles will trump any styles in linked style sheets.
As with inline style, embedded sheets are falling out of favor because of the management and page weight concerns. Also, as with inline styles, embedded style sheets can be useful in diagnostics. One reason I use embedded style is when I'm building a document and want to work only in that document. I create an embedded style as I build and style the document, but then I move the embedded style out of the document into a linked style sheet.
Linked Style
Linked, also referred to as external style sheets are the holy grail of style. In this case, style is placed in a separate document with a .css extention and linked via the link element in the head portion of your document(s):
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" src="style/screen.css" media="screen" />
While inline and embedded style rules will override rules in the linked style, linked style is the most widely used and flexible of style sheet types. There are many reasons for this, including the following:
- Linked style manages multiple documents. Whether one or one billion, a single style sheet can be used to manage styles. Want to change a style? Open the style sheet, make the change, save the sheet and voila! Your one billion documents attached to that style sheet are updated.
- Linked style is cached. When a browser encounters a linked style sheet, it downloads and interprets it. Then, the styles remain in cache until another style sheet is called for. This improves document performance because documents are more streamlined, and the browser has to utilize fewer resources. The end result? Faster loading pages, reduced bandwidth requirements, and happier users—no matter what their connection speed.
- Multiple linked style sheets can control presentation of multiple media formats. Want all your pages to print to a certain style? Create a print style sheet. Handhelds of interest? Those devices that support CSS will allow you to style your documents specifically for the handheld device. Linked style gives you myriad ways to manage numerous styles effectively for a variety of media, which is one of the most powerful and growing areas of CSS design.
There's Always A User
Even in the best of relationships, at some point, a user appears. Attempts at humorous metaphors aside, the user is the most important participant in a Web site, and CSS takes this into account.
User style sheets (also referred to as reader style sheets) exist to give the user the option to override your styles. Now, why on earth would someone want to alter your beautiful design? Usually, the reason is related to accessibility. If an individual is color blind or requires high contrast, he or she can create a style sheet and apply it via the browser.
User style sheets are underused, but they're important to understand because of their relationship to your style sheets. Your style rules will always override a user style if there's a pre-existing style, except in the instance of the !important declaration.
This declaration, which has become erroneously popular with CSS authors in recent years, was created for the primary purpose of creating a balance between user style and author style. If I, as the user, absolutely require a specific style to address a need, I can add the !important declaration within my rule:
p {font-size: 22px; !important;}
This will make my style more important than your unimportant style. However, and this is a very key issue, if you, as the author, add the !important declaration to a rule, you'll trump me. This is why it is very poor practice to use the !important declaration in author style sheets.
As with inline style, it can be a great way to diagnose problems—drop an !important into a declaration and that rule trumps. If the style applies, you know you've got conflicts somewhere in your style sheets. Go fix them, then strip out the !important declaration. Otherwise, you leave your special needs users without a means of overriding your styles. While designers might balk at the suggestion that a user has a right to mess up your design, this is a feature very specific to the accessibility of the Web, and should be treated as such.
Getting it Sorted
This article has introduced you to an aspect of what is known as sort order. Remember earlier on when I used the term application hierarchy and conflict resolution? Well, without getting too jargony, the information here shows the application hierarchy, sort order, and portions of conflict resolution between browser, author, and user styles, as well as within author styles themselves.
These concepts are part of what puts the "Cascade" in Cascading Style Sheets. In upcoming editions of 10 Steps to CSS Success, I'll cover other aspects of sort order and the Cascade, providing invaluable foundations for you to gain control over your CSS and, ultimately, create far more manageable, useful, and beautiful sites.

Coffee Connexion SS22, Damansara Jaya
Last Saturday I was kinda free and decided to visit this restaurant cafe at ss22 in Damansara Jaya, simply named Coffee Connexion. Initially the concept of the cafe reminded me the Old Town White Coffee Cafe.
Their menu was quite unique, they had drinks that I've not heard any other cafe offers. Some examples are Fresh Detox where they mix Apple, Cucumber and Lemon together. A drink called Improve Digestion which comprised of Watermelom, Tomato and Prunes was also available. They also had Nutritious Spirulina and Fruits as a drink too. Not knowing what to order I went for their Pineapple Lemonade which tasted great.
The first dish that I tried was the Beef Lasagna which was not that tasty, the flour slices were slightly burnt at the bottom. Later found out that they outsource the Lasagnas. Not satisfied I decided to try their recommended dish which was the Nasi Lemak Ayam. Frankly, this was probably one of the best Nasi Lemaks that I've ever had in my life. The rice had tasty coconut milk and pandan leaf aroma to it and they were cooked such that each grain were separated (the rice did not stick together). The Coffee Connexion was owned by a couple who started this place since 2 years ago. And most of the food offered here are homemade by this aunty who also spent some time explaning to me how she prepares the food.
She mentioned that she cooks 4 types of pumpkin dishes which were their signature dishes too. Fried Noodle Pumpkin, Pumkpin Muffins, Pumpkin Cake (sort of like yam cake) with dry prawn and Chicken Porridge with pumpkin. I did not have a chance to try them because they sell off very fast. She mentioned that The Coffee Connexion is open daily from 7am onwards, and the peak time is always the breakfast time where most of her pumpkin specially made dishes will be sold out by 8am.
This restaurant or cafe is also certified Halal and there is WiFi services available. I did try the internet connection there and it was quite fast. There are smoking and non-smoking sections to the cafe where it is air-conditioned. There was also a Star Newspaper cutting on the wall and it seems her famous fish ball soup was featured in the food section in that paper.
The Coffee Connexion in Damansara Jaya is open daily from 7am till 11pm everyday except on Sundays they close earlier to spend more time with the family. The waiters there are very kind too, they do recommend the right food that we should try. So the next time you're around Damansara Jaya area, do go and try this Coffee Connexion Cafe out and they are located on Jalan ss22/25.
As for the pricing, they were fairly cheap. My total bill came to only RM27. Mushroom Soup was at RM4, Nasi Lemak Ayam at RM7.90, Beef Lasagna at RM9.90 and Pineapple Lemonade at RM5.90.

Tune up your home in 10 minutes or fewer with simple home maintenance tasks.
Fun, right? We know: not so much. But here's the good news. Tackling home maintenance in 10-minute bursts is the smart way to get it done.
Here's our checklist of 15 things you can keep on top of, each in 10 minutes or fewer. Killing time before Lost? Cross off one of these tasks.
1 Vacuum the condenser coils at the back of your fridge annually.
2 Replace your furnace filters seasonally.
3 Polish your natural wood front door. If painted, surface wash it.
4 Clean the air conditioner grill and register.
5 Dust and test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (twice a year).
6 Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (annually).
7 Self-clean the oven (Okay, technically this takes hours, but it only takes a few minutes to set it up).
8 Clean your coffeemaker. Technically this takes more than 10 minutes, but each step itself takes only a minute or two. Tackle each step during commercial breaks in your favourite show.
Commercial break 1: Fill up the coffeemaker reservoir with one-part white vinegar to two parts cold water and "brew."
Commercial break 2: Pour the heated vinegar-and-water combination back into the reservoir after it "brews" the first time and run it again.
Commercial break 3: Discard, then fill reservoir with cold water. Run through.
Commercial break 4: Discard used rinse water and repeat with fresh water.

Sources: Lillard to partake in Dunk Contest, mulling Three-Point Contest
Damian Lillard Dunks
NEW YORK – Portland Trail Blazers All-Star guard Damian Lillard has accepted the league's invitation to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, a league source informed CSNNW.com.
We reported a few days ago that Lillard was pondering the idea of displaying his ups on the grandest stage and now we're told he is all in.
It doesn't stop there, however.
The NBA has broached Lillard with an attractive, unprecedented opportunity. They've asked him to consider the Three-Point Shooting Contest as well, another source relayed to CSNNW.com.
So far, the reigning Rookie of the Year is committed to defending his Skills Challenge title; he's competing in the Dunk Contest, the Rising Stars Challenge and the All-Star game.
No player in the history of the game has ever competed in all five All-Star Weekend events in the same weekend. The NBA will announce those participating tomorrow.
Lillard, 23, is strongly leaning towards partaking in the Three-Point Shootout because he is intrigued with the prospect of performing in all five events in which he'll go down in the record books as the first to ever do so, a source close to the guard tells CSNNW.com.
Going into Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks, Lillard has drained 139 three-pointers this season, placing him third behind Golden State's shooting duo of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. He's shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc.
There has been chatter over concerns Lillard will tire himself out in New Orleans. Last week Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts said he doesn't foresee his busy schedule being a problem once he returns to the team post All-Star break.
"He's young and if he wants to do it, I'm fine with that," Stotts said last week. "It will be a good experience for him. We want him to have fun. But when he gets back, it'll be business as usual."
Lillard's superstardom is growing right before our very eyes. And now the world will get multiple glances in New Orleans to see why Portland calls Lillard their franchise point guard.

Smith Hopeful for Eccleston Return
Many fans are hoping for a multi-Doctor story for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary next year. While most of the surviving Doctors have expressed an interest in returning, Christopher Eccleston may prove a tougher nut to crack.
Eccleston distanced himself from the show after leaving the role of 9th Doctor due to problems with "senior people."
But Matt Smith is still hopeful for Eccleston's return.
Smith told Esquire magazine: "Chris will be alright. Well, I mean, who knows? I'd love it. I'd love him to come back."
He added: "I love his Doctor. I really do. He was from Manchester. Proper hard. Leather jacket. He'd give my Doctor a bit of a whopping, wouldn't he?"
Last year, Eccleston made it pretty clear he wasn't interested in returning. When asked directly, he replied: "No, never bathe in the same river twice."
However, during a recent Q&A at the National Theatre, Eccleston told audiences he thought there was "more for him to do" with the character. So perhaps he could be swayed yet?

The CHDA was invited to the opening of an earth architecture exhibition at the 2nd Pan African cultural festival in Algiers. CHDA was represented by the coordinator, immovable heritage (Ishanlosen Odiaua). CHDA's presence in Algiers was from 3rd – 8th July 2009. This afforded the opportunity to attend the magnificent opening show, on the 6th, at which artistes from various countries performed. Youssou Ndour and Cesaria Evora also performed at the occasion.
The exhibition titled "terres, d'Afrique et d'ailleurs", showcased the beauty of earth architecture in Africa and beyond. It takes viewers through a visual and textual experience of the raw material – the wide diversity in colours and applications – through to the indigenous knowledge systems and contemporary expressions in the built environment.
As part of the exhibition, the Algerian government facilitated the participation of 19 artisans from 5 countries (Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Nigeria, Algeria) who prepared wall panels in earth using indigenous techniques and motifs from the communities they represented. The exhibition also included an example of the use of 3D laser scanning for the documentation of earth buildings. This technique facilitates the documentation process and offers a lot of potential for conservation purposes.
The exhibition was opened by the Algerian minister of Culture – Mrs Khalida Toumi – who was shown round by Mrs Yasmine Terkhi, architect from the Ministry of Culture, charged with the implementation of the exhibition.
Also opening on the same night was an exhibition on the Sahara desert: its origins, geological formations, history, flora and fauna and the peoples of the desert.
Apart from participating at the exhibition opening, a very tangible result for CHDA was that it afforded participation at talks on the possibility of establishing an African earth architecture network. The interest for CHDA lies in the fact that the existenc of such a network on the continent will extend its network of professionals on the continent and allow for better responses to meet the needs of partners on the continent.
CHDA is grateful to the Algerian government for the warm hospitality and assistance before during and beyond the exhibition. We sincerely hope that the contacts made with North Africa will bear fruit in the not-too-distant future.

Thinking of this, one can turn to other parts of our culture that have been represented in the movies. So I took some time to look for Cajun and Zydeco music in movies, other than documentaries.
The Big Easy (1987) one of the better known movies, features Beausoleil, Buckwheat Zydeco, and Dewey Balfa . The opening scene flying over the swamp is accompanied by the Michael Ducet composition, Zydeco Gris-Gris. There are also three Terrence Simien tunes in the movie: Oh Yea Ya!; For Your Love I Would Pay Any Price; and, My Good Friend is Gone. Zachary Richard sings Colinda and Dewy Balfa comes in with You Used to Call Me and Valse De Balfa. Finally Buck's Nouvelle Jole Blon, is added by Buckwheat Zydeco. Along with the Neville Brothers and the Dixie Cups the music is fairly representative of a certain time in New Orleans and south Louisiana.
In addition to The Big Easy Terrence Simien has produced music for the soundtracks of The Princess and the Frog (2009); Exit to Eden (1994); and A Murder of Crows. (1998)
Beausoleil does all the music for Belizaire the Cajun (1986) – fifteen tracks mostly from the pen of Michael Ducet, including Madame Etiene, Grand Mallet, and Chanson De Vermillion.
Dewy Balfa appears in the movie Southern Comfort (1981) playing Parlez Nous a'Boires. Mark Savoy appears in the film playing accordion. Ry Cooder is responsible for most of the rest of the music in this film.
Jackie Caillier & the Cajun Cousins produce the Cajun music for the German film, Schultze Gets the Blues, (2003) although it's really suppose to be more about Zydeco. Johnny Can't Dance; Mon Bon Vieux Mari; and Carolyn, Carolyn, are some of the Cajun tunes in the movie.
So, this is an interactive blog. Do you know of others? Write in and let us know. In what movies have you heard Cajun or Zydeco music? Who were the performers? Let's stay away from documentaries at this point – maybe we'll go looking for the best documentaries at a later time. Let's hear from you!
Point of Interest: Gina Forsyth's CD Promised Land, which was released in February, was recently considered for a Grammy. Word has it that the CD got to the round of semi-finalists. Well done, Gina! She will be playing songs from the album December 21 at the Neutral Ground. The evening is being billed as the "end of the world" Decapocalypse Ball."
I like your posts as much as your great shows. Welcome to the aether.
There was the John Delafose appearance in Passion Fish:
Was that Nathan Abshire in Southern Comfort or am I just wishing it was so:
Most of the movies cited came from the golden age of cajun and zydeco's national popularity. The music followed the cajun and then zydeco dance craze of the 1980s and 1990s. The dancing and those beautiful accordion, fiddle and rub board sounds have been replaced with ... well, the same old crap from before the cajun and zydeco dance craze - the over-heard "Stairway to Freebird at Sweet Hotel Mustang Gloria..." Except on WWOZ.

Small print and use of a smaller hand-held magnifying glass has caused me to give up of many books. Happily this full sheet magnifier gives an excellent broad page that is readable top to bottom without all the struggle.
This is for my 93 year old mother. She has some difficulty holding it up while reading.
Dad said he would like to keep this sheet magnifier. He's had cataract surgery and has diabetic retinopathy, among other things, and has really missed reading. He loves seeing the whole page at one time! Thanks for the protective lens holder - a must have!

Discerning DeLay
Reporters mistakenly see contradiction in the new House GOP leader
WASHINGTON-MANY JOURNALISTS, ACCUSTOMED to thinking of liberals as warm-hearted and conservatives as mean-spirited, may have a tough time with Tom DeLay, the new majority leader in the House of Representatives.
Mr. DeLay should be easy. He ran an exterminator business before hopping into politics: Aha, let's write that he poisoned insects and sees Democrats as only one thumb up from cockroaches. He's spent eight years as the House majority whip: Aha, let's evoke thoughts of sadism. Mr. DeLay's determined fundraising techniques gave him the nickname "The Hammer": Aha, he sees all his opponents as nails. Even the name is useful: Aha, he has no vision of his own, and can merely delay the inevitable victory of progressive thought.
A spin through the Lexis-Nexis database shows journalists using all these gambits. But in a few stories, a disconcerting element arises. Veteran liberal columnist Mary McGrory started a column on Mr. DeLay with three bone-chilling words, "He strikes fear," and followed that with a reference to "The Hammer" and Mr. DeLay's "ferocious skills." But then she noted an apparent anomaly: "DeLay as the champion of poor, luckless, loser kids? Some colleagues, especially Democrats who have experienced the rough side of his tongue and the chill of his laser-beam gaze, wonder."
It turns out that, as Ms. McGrory reported, "DeLay and his wife, Christine, have taken three troubled teenage foster children into their Houston home." Mr. DeLay has been active in working for neglected and abused kids in the District of Columbia. Mrs. DeLay is heading an effort to establish a residential facility in Fort Bend County, southwest of Houston, for kids who otherwise would be bounced around from foster home to foster home.
How do liberal journalists fit Mr. DeLay's activities into the "mean-spirited conservative" grid? It's easiest to ignore them, or to assume that Mr. DeLay is cynically using foster kids in an attempt to change his image. But having a foster home is very hard work, and it's a lot easier to accumulate political brownie points by co-hosting a charity ball.
Besides, Mr. DeLay is a straight-shooter who passionately talks about only what he passionately feels. When Nick Eicher, Joel C. Rosenberg, and I interviewed him recently in his Capitol office, I'd like to say that our incisive questions led to a conceptual breakthrough on his part, so that at the end of our late-in-the-day session he said, "Yes! Now I fully understand how to save the Republic!" Alas, nothing of the sort happened. After a full day of other meetings, I suspect he was going through the motions during our time together. But Mr. DeLay got excited at one point: when he talked about foster care. "Every time you take a child out of a home he goes through the grieving process," he said. "You can imagine the scar tissue that has built up."
How do reporters who can't ignore his passion handle the apparent anomaly? U.S. News & World Report discerned dualism: Mr. DeLay has a dark side and a small angelic side. After linking Mr. DeLay with words like "evil ... manipulative ... mean-spirited ... puppet master," that magazine reported it had "stumbled across another side" of Mr. DeLay, and noted that concerning foster care he had "turned in his horns for a halo."
That's putting Christians like Mr. DeLay in a box. Journalists often ask questions like, "How can you care about the poor but also favor measures that force them to work?" (Because they should be treated as adults, not pets.) "How can you be pro-life but also support capital punishment in some cases?" (The goal is to protect innocent life.) "Since you're broad-minded in many areas, why do you favor a narrow standard of personal morality concerning marriage?" (Because the Bible says adultery is wrong.)
Washington journalists could understand more about Mr. DeLay and many others if they undertook two kinds of research. First, they should visit Mr. DeLay's Sugarland-area district. Last year I spoke at a dinner of the Fort Bend County Christian Coalition and met the people who gave Mr. DeLay his political start. They talk and sing patriotic songs without David Letterman irony.
Second, journalists should read the Bible, and maybe come to see that Christianity transcends both liberalism and conservatism. Journalists who see how and why some folks take the Bible seriously will understand the supposed inconsistency of Tom DeLay-and in the process learn more about true inconsistencies in the lives of many who do not worship God.

I bought this suit for my first time diving Dutch Springs and it was great. Kept me relatively warm for the ever changing temps in the quarry. This suit fits true to size. I am 52" and 120lbs and was able to squeeze my big butt into it. This of course didnt allow for much water to sneak in, but what did was nice and warm all over. I highly recommend this suit if you get cold in any temps diving like I do!

I purchased these gloves for my first experience diving Dutch Springs last month. I have not owned a pair of 5mm gloves ever and was worried about the thickness but they are great! Kept my hands nice and toasty on the helicopter which is only about 55-65 down but it gets chilly! Must have been close to 50 degrees.

In addition to unveiling the Arrano, the new engine that will power the Eurocopter X4, Turbomeca unveiled the Arrius 2B2 Plus and announced several major agreements on the first day of Heli-Expo 2013.
The Arrius 2B2 Plus is dedicated to the future Eurocopter EC135 T3. Turbomeca said this new Arrius variant offers technical improvements compared to its predecessor, the Arrius 2B2, including increased performance, reliability and availability. Its new FADEC system offers optimal reliability and availability, and its time between overhaul (TBO) is 4,000 hours. Moreover, the engine features a 5 percent increase in takeoff power and improved performances at high altitudes and temperatures.
The Arrius 2B2 was designed to offer a flight profile that allows it to minimize loss of altitude on takeoff when flying single-engine mode, thus meeting the requirements of particular missions, including emergency medical services, in high population density areas. Customers will also benefit from a computerized maintenance aid thanks to the processing of data recorded from the Engine Electronic Control Unit.
Additionally, Turbomeca announced several major agreements. One is a Support By the Hour (SBH) contract signed with CHC Helicopter. This contract covers 60 Makila 2 engines powering CHC EC225 helicopters used for offshore missions, notably in North Sea and Black Sea regions, Nigeria and Australia.
William Amelio, CHC president and CEO, said: "The Turbomeca SBH contract contributes to CHC's ability to deliver on our commitment to customers — to take them further, so that they can do more, and to bring them home safely."
Turbomeca also announced a groundbreaking partnership with Milestone Aviation Group. A culmination of efforts announced last year to develop novel engine support solutions and services for Milestone's lease customers around the world, the partnership includes the launch of a unique SBH program. This pioneering program provides Milestone customers with significant added value and unique benefits — including a novel approach that leverages the company's fleet size to the benefit of all customers. This program will allow Milestone's lessees to better control maintenance costs and maximize the availability of covered aircraft.
"We are excited to announce this strategically important collaboration with Milestone," said Olivier Andries, chairman and CEO of Turbomeca. "This is the kind of inventive, mutually beneficial program that Milestone presents for us with lessees and operators. This partnership represents a significant opportunity for us to expand our customer base through Milestone's market-leading global lease portfolio of Turbomeca-powered helicopters."
"With this announcement, Milestone breaks new ground by partnering with Turbomeca to offer these unique benefits to our customers," said Richard Santulli, chairman of Milestone Aviation Group. "By leveraging the operating experience of the Milestone team, we are able to offer our customers innovative support solutions that add value and benefit to their business."
Turbomeca will manage this global support partnership using Turbomeca' s international network of its support sites and numerous Certified Maintenance Centers, thus offering a global solution with local interface for Milestone's customers.
Finally, Turbomeca announced a support agreement with Avincis Group, covering engines operated by Inaer, Bond Air Services, Bond Offshore Helicopters and Australian Helicopters. This agreement recognizes the strengthening relationship between Avincis and Turbomeca and the desire by both parties to forge a greater partnership for the future.
This agreement includes the incorporation into Turbomeca's SBH program for the Inaer fleet in addition to the Bond fleet, which already benefits from the SBH service. The agreement now covers approximately 180 engines of which there are 14 different engine variants.
Avincis Group director of Fleet & Engineering Martin Whittaker said, "This agreement secures engineering support for a significant part of our global helicopter fleet. Every day, lives and livelihoods depend on the operations we fly. We are pleased to be able to strengthen our relationship with Turbomeca and look forward to continuing to build our partnership in future."

EPL5 touchscreen missed focus?

Re: EPL5 touchscreen missed focus?
I have mixed results. I've gone to using the touch screen to move the focus point around, then focusing and shooting.
The only time I use touchscreen to focus, is when I'm taking candids of people in a market, etc. It works about half the time. Because focus tracking does not work, the subject has to be still, relative to the focal plane.

BOSTON "Do you know what a lie is?"
That was the last question Friday for the government's star witness in the federal corruption trial of former House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi. For former software salesman Joseph Lally, it was the third and final day of testimony about the alleged conspiracy to turn official muscle into money.

"Yeah, I know what a lie is," Lally testified.
"Do you know when you say something that misrepresents something, you're telling a lie?" shot back defense attorney William Cintolo.
"No, I don't think that's telling a lie, when you're negotiating for a boat or a car."
From the defense came "nothing further" in their three days of portraying Lally as a liar, tax cheat and compulsive gambler whose testimony could not be trusted.
But before Lally left the stand, he answered clearly for the prosecution that he had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, not for access but "to funnel money back to DiMasi" to win state contracts.
Prosecutors have used the testimony of Lally, who pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against the others in exchange for a possible lighter prison sentence, to give an insider's view of the alleged scheme.
Prosecutors argue that Richard McDonough, Richard Vitale and Lally schemed to use DiMasi's State House clout to steer two state contracts worth a combined $17.5 million to the software firm Cognos in exchange for kickbacks. DiMasi allegedly pocketed $65,000.
The trial is expected to resume next week.

People say to them, Paradise Park is just that, paradise, a serene place to escape for the day, attracting not just local folks, but even those just passing through town.
"When my wife and I come here we take our grand kids in the area. We love to bring them to the Parks whether it's McIntyre or Paradise Park and have picnics," says Joseph Klein, visiting from Pennsylvania.
Klein says it's nice to see clean tables and decent facilities, which is the kind of up keeping that in the past a conservancy group was responsible for at Paradise Park, but not anymore, and it's now up for discussion by the city.
"Our City Council wants to make sure that we don't want to expand that a little bit to began to look at all of our parks and how those parks are managed," says Tom Berry, city manager of Thomasville.
Volunteers with the Paradise Park conservancy group raised money for things like playground equipment and landscaping for the park
"I know it's a difficult job with vandalism and things like that, it's nice the beautiful parks in Thomasville," adds Klein.
City officials say enhancing city parks is a constant evaluation of what the public wants to see, but officials say they will make sure its parks are kept their best to continue attracting those looking to get away.
City officials say the conservancy group will also play a major role in preserving the city's green space. The city council will make a decision about the issue within the next couple of months.

BYOD and Mobile Computing at NASA
By John Sprague, Enterprise Applications Service Executive
As NASA employees, we expect "anytime, anywhere" access to our information. New devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones), applications, and operating systems bring tremendous opportunities for productivity and innovation, but they also bring challenges in securing and maintaining NASA information. In the coming months, the NASA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) will develop a formal policy to govern the use of personal devices, to be known as "Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)."
The possible benefits of BYOD to NASA employees are as varied as the many kinds of devices in use: increased productivity, higher employee morale, lowered costs, greater innovation, and better work-life balance.
NASA BYOD will encompass the policy work of the BYOD Integrated Transition Team (ITT), the Mobile Device Management Integrated Process Team (IPT), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.1x IPT, and the future Mobile Applications Management IPT. The Mobile Device Management IPT has been developing the requirements for a commercial product that manages mobile devices.
The first step in managing mobile devices was the implementation of Exchange ActiveSync policies on all NASA e-mail accounts on September 10, 2013. Notices regarding this change went out via e-mail in early September. These ActiveSync policies have been established to ensure that any mobile device that connects to NASA e-mail servers, whether it is Government-furnished or personally owned, meets minimum security standards. It is important to enforce these minimum standards, such as basic lock out code protection, to safeguard NASA data on your device in the event that it is lost and/or falls into the wrong hands. IEEE 802.1x is an international standard for network access control, and the IEEE 802.1x IPT's task is to identify long-term user/device network identification, authentication, and management requirements and to develop an implementation plan.
The NASA OCIO held the first BYOD ITT kickoff meeting on August 15. Team members representing Centers, Mission Directorates, the Office of the General Council, the Office of Human Capital Management, IT security, and others met to start forging a BYOD policy that fits NASA. Their main goal is to develop a formal policy governing the use of personal devices to access NASA information. Sub-teams were formed to accomplish the following tasks:
- Communicate monthly status to stakeholders and coordinate with other teams
- Identify/benchmark BYOD at other Federal agencies
- Review the Mobile Device Management and IEEE 802.1x charters
- Identify relevant NASA publication directives, regulations, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards
- Develop a communication plan
- Identify risks & use cases
- Develop business cases
- Recommend infrastructure changes
- Recommend incentives
- Draft policy and present it to stakeholders for approval
Looking at the big picture, BYOD falls within the category of mobility. NASA's mobility vision, adopted at the NASA Mobility Summit Meeting in summer 2012, states that NASA personnel "will be able to securely and seamlessly access and share any authorized information, anyplace, anytime, using any device." The aim of NASA's mobility vision is to provide services while protecting sensitive data. Participation in BYOD is voluntary, and NASA is not compensating employees for any costs associated with using personal devices. This may change in the future, after a full BYOD policy and program are developed and considered part of the BYOD ITT process; however, those details have yet to be determined.
In the meantime, NASA employees are required to adhere to certain minimum security standards in order to be able to connect to NASA data. Minimum standards include enabling lock out code protection and updating personal devices to the latest security patches provided by vendors.
Under the current timeline, a draft BYOD policy will be presented to stakeholders by mid-February 2014. Implementation of the recommendations by the Mobile Device Management and IEEE 802.1x IPTs will follow. Although a communication plan is being developed, you can count on seeing outreach in the form of e-mail notices, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and briefings on any upcoming changes.
Protecting sensitive NASA data is a complex effort that involves managing lost or stolen devices, encryption technologies, commercial security patching, personal data, and privacy. It also requires familiarity with features on mobile devices that employees may not have used before. But the ultimate goal is to enable you, the NASA employee, to have a more functional and enhanced work environment. So what can you do? Follow current policies, support the new policy once it is finalized, and always remember to protect NASA data!

Golf tournament to support HonorAir
Published: Friday, October 13, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 13, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
The American Legion Post 77 will host a golf tournament to support HonorAir on Sunday, Oct. 29, at Crooked Creek Golf Course.
The tournament is a four-man captain's choice with a $50 entry fee for each member of the four-man team.
The tournament will include a chance for closest to the pin prizes and lunch following the tournament at the American Legion.
All proceeds go to support the HonorAir Project which is sending World War II veterans to see their national memorial Nov. 4 in Washington.
"We encourage all golfers who want to support our veterans to put together a team and sign up for this tournament," said Ed Shaffer, American Legion member. "This is a chance to play a game you love and do something important to support our World War II veterans."
The American Legion is also looking for businesses and individuals to sponsor the tournament with both cash and prize donations. For more information, call 693-3922.
"The American Legion is very excited to be a part of HonorAir and we want to do all we can to help raise money to support this project," Shaffer said.

Galaxy Tab 2 311 with Android Jelly Bean, 7-inch screen and a 1GHz dual-core processor launched for Rs 13,900
Samsung has discreetly put its Wi-Fi only tablet called Galaxy Tab 2 311 on sale for Rs 13,900 on its e-store earlier today. The 7-inch tablet joins its 3G-compatible brother Galaxy Tab 2 310, which we reported was launched last year.
The specifications for the Galaxy Tab 2 311 are similar to that of the Tab 2 310, except of course for the missing 3G-capability. The tablet comes with Android Jelly Bean out of the box and sports a 7-inch TFT LCD that supports a resolution of 1024×600 pixels. It is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM and includes features like a 3-megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera, 16GB internal storage, microSD support for up to 32GB, USB port and a 4,000mAH battery.
The Galaxy Tab 2 311 is a decent tablet with mid-range specs and with the allure of a big-brand like Samsung. But the tablet is sure to face severe competition from other much less expensive and similar specced 7-inch tablets in the market like the Acer Iconia B1, the Asus Memo Pad 7 and the Lava Etab Xtron which was launched yesterday.

Over 50 percent of all Valentine's Day cards are purchased in the six days prior to the observance, making Valentine's Day a procrastinator's delight. (Source: Hallmark research)
Research reveals that more than half of the U.S. population celebrates Valentine's Day by purchasing a greeting card. (Source: Hallmark research)
The combined wholesale value of domestically produced cut roses in 2005 for all operations with $100,000 or more in sales was $39 million. Among all types of cut flowers, roses were third in receipts ($39 million) to lilies ($76.9 million) and tulips ($39.1 million).
There were 28,772 jewelry stores in the United States in 2004. Jewelry stores offer engagement, wedding and other rings to lovers of all ages. In February 2006, these stores sold $2.6 billion worth of merchandise. (history.com/topics/valentines-day-fact)
Last year the cook's column for Valentine's Day suggested cooking for that special someone and included some recipes from local cooks. This year the cook's column is making that same suggestion, but this time including some "easy" recipes for those less experienced cooks.
Pecan Chicken With Mustard Sauce
Linda Larsen, about.com
Just a few ingredients, including pecans and mustard, make plain chicken breasts delicious and very special in this easy recipe.
4 boneless, skinless chicken
breast halves
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup creamy honey mustard
salad dressing
1/4 cup honey mustard
1-1/2 cups finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup creamy honey mustard
salad dressing
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Pound each chicken breast as follows. Place between 2 pieces of waxed paper, boned side up and pound with rolling pin gently until about 1/4" thick.
Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper on a plate. On another plate, combine 1/3 cup salad dressing with 1/4 cup honey mustard and mix well. On third plate, mix pecans and 1/4 teaspoons thyme. Coat chicken with flour mixture, then dip into dressing mixture, then the pecan mixture, pressing to coat well.
Melt butter with olive oil in heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook coated chicken breasts 2-3 minutes on each side until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Watch carefully, as the pecans can burn easily! If you did not pound the chicken, it will not cook through before the pecans over-cook. Do NOT use chicken thighs because they take too long to cook. Remove chicken from skillet as it is cooked and cover to keep warm.
To drippings remaining in skillet, add 1/4 cup salad dressing, 2 tablespoons honey mustard, sour cream, yogurt, salt and pepper to taste, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme and heat until mixture boils. Pour over chicken to serve.
Stovetop Rice Pilaf
Linda Larsen, about.com
This delicious pilaf recipe is so easy to make and is the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal.
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2-1/4 cups long grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
3-3/4 cups chicken broth, heated to boiling point
In heavy saucepan, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and stir until the rice is coated with the butter. This will take 2-4 minutes; don't rush this step!
Season with salt and pepper, then add the hot chicken broth all at once. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Check the rice; if all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, it's done. If the rice isn't quite tender, cover pan and cook for 2-3 minutes longer. Fluff with a fork and serve.
Cajun Spiced Pork Chops
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon rubbed dried sage
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1-1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin
olive oil
4 center cut pork chops
Mix paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, sage, and garlic salt on a plate. Liberally coat each pork chop with the spice mixture.
Heat olive oil and several pumps of non-stick, butter-flavored spray in a large skillet over high heat. Place pork chops in the skillet, reducing heat to medium. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Onion-Roasted Potatoes
2 russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch
2 sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch
1 ounce package onion soup mix
1/3 cup olive oil
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine russet potato and sweet potato cubes with onion soup mix and olive oil in a bowl, stirring to mix thoroughly. Spread out into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes.
Quick Antique Broccoli
Linda Larsen, about.com
Quick Antique Broccoli tastes just like Antique Broccoli, from my aunt Carol Sue, but it's much faster to make. If you don't mind a sixth ingredient, add a package of frozen tiny whole onions, cooked and drained.
(2) 12 ounce packages frozen
broccoli florets
16 ounce package sliced carrots
24 ounce bottle cheddar cheese
1-1/4 cups soft whole wheat
breadcrumbs (3 slices bread)
1/4 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the broccoli and carrots according to package directions, a few minutes less than the directed time. Drain well.
Combine in 13"x9" glass baking dish. Add cheese sauce and mix well.
In small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and butter; toss to coat. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over casserole. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until casserole is bubbly and breadcrumbs are browned and crisp.
Creamy Fruit Salad
2 medium bananas, diced
2 medium apples, diced
1 lemon, juice of
20-ounce can pineapple tidbits,
drained, juice reserved
2 cups sliced strawberries
2 cups grapes
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1-1/2 ounce box sugar-free
instant vanilla pudding mix or
1-1/2 box vegetarian
instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup water
Combine bananas, apples and lemon juice in large mixing bowl. Toss until evenly coated. Add pineapple, strawberries, grapes and pecans. In small mixing bowl, combine pudding mix, water and pineapple juice with a wire whisk until smooth. Add pudding mixture to fruit.
Mix gently until thoroughly coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Fastest Chocolate Cheesecake
Linda Larsen, about.com
Just five ingredients make a delicious smooth, creamy, and velvety chocolate cheesecake that's like a truffle in a pie crust. In both recipes, always use full fat ingredients; nothing low fat or nonfat.
9" graham cracker or shortbread
cookie piecrust
14 ounce can sweetened
condensed milk
1-2/3 cups semisweet chocolate
8-ounce package cream
cheese, softened
3-ounce package cream cheese,
1 teaspoon vanilla
Place sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated) and chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt on 50 percent power in the microwave oven for 2 minutes, then remove and stir. Continue microwaving for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until mixture is melted and smooth.
Add cream cheese and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and beat at high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Spoon into graham cracker shell and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
This recipe is a soft-set cheesecake. It is not as firm as a baked cheesecake, but it slices and serves very well.
Elvis Presley's Favorite Whipping Cream Pound Cake
food.com, 1Steve
3 cups sugar
1/2 pound butter, softened
7 eggs, room temperature
3 cups cake flour, sifted twice
1 cup whipping cream (heavy
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Butter and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. Thoroughly cream together sugar and butter.
Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in half the flour, then the whipping cream, then the other half of the flour. Add vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. Set in COLD oven and turn heat to 350° F. Bake 1 hour to 70 minutes, until a sharp knife inserted in cake turns out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool thoroughly. Wrapped well, this cake will keep for several days.
Note: while the original recipe did not suggest this, when I'm in the mood for something different I will add a teaspoon or two of orange or lemon extract for a lemon or orange pound cake.
Individual Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
food.com, RecipeNut
(2) 8 ounce packages cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 vanilla wafers
21 ounce can cherry pie filling
Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla in bowl. Place wafer in bottom of each of 12 cupcake papers (in cupcake tin). Spoon in cream cheese mixture 3/4 full.
Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Let cool. Top each with cherry pie filling and refrigerate for 1 hour or more.

Faculty and Staff
McDowall Named Distinguished Teaching Professor
University at Albany Professor of Criminal Justice David McDowall was recently appointed Distinguished Teaching Professor, one of the highest faculty honors bestowed by the State University of New York Board of Trustees.
"One of the Board's most exceptional honors is to confer the distinguished ranking upon some of our best and brightest faculty," said Board Chairman H. Carl McCall. "To earn one of the distinguished ranks, SUNY faculty members have shown a steadfast commitment to the students, faculty, and staff at their respective campuses and accomplished high achievement in their field."
"In bestowing its highest faculty honor, SUNY proudly recognizes the extraordinary achievements of these faculty and the positive impacts they have had on SUNY, on the students they teach and mentor, and on their colleagues both on campus and across the globe," said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher.
McDowall teaches courses in statistics and quantitative methods. He translates complex quantitative topics into an accessible and enjoyable classroom experience. His enthusiasm for statistical methods is infectious. McDowall has served on more than 25 dissertation committees and numerous comprehensive exam committees.
In 2011, he received the American Society of Criminology's Teaching Award, an honor recognizing career-length excellence as a teacher and mentor. In 2005, he won the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching and the University at Albany Excellence in Teaching Award.
Much of McDowall's scholarship focuses on the social distribution of crime and criminal victimization. His work makes extensive use of quantitative methods, and his publications appear in sociology, criminology, and public health journals. In addition to considering theoretical questions about variations in crime, he also studies policy issues, especially in the areas of juvenile justice and firearm violence.

On article Busted! Digital Photography Myths (13 comments in total)
The author wrote the last section on exposure compensation after his identical claims were debunked in a discussion thread. There is no law about correct terminology for photography. But despite the twisted justification above, readers should be well aware that extremely few people use the term "exposure compensation" in reference to simple over/under exposure in manual mode. You are more likely to confuse people you're speaking with, or to cause them to think you're a confused newbie rather than Ansel Adams.

Interesting stuff. I wish i had of seen Russel down under at New Zealand. I like my searunner more. But a proa has its place and I think Russel has ventured into another arena that needs to be explored.

I know that nobody here is my mommy, but I desperately need help figuring out how to dress for colder weather. I have read countless hours about layering, booties, baclavas,lobster gloves, wicking layers etc.
I think I am drowning is a sea of knowledge. I still don't know what to do and would love some of your expert opinions.
*First of all, I live in Kansas.
*It gets pretty cold here but seldom below 0.
* I only plan to ride when it is 20 degrees F and above and won't ride in the rain/snow if I can help it.
* Plan to ride approx. 45 minutes per day at a very brisk pedalling pace. (Rarely stop rapid pedalling)
I know that conditions and my own preferences will largely dictate how I dress but I would love to hear some experiences of other riders. I know I will find a lot of this out after the first few rides but would like to avoid to many mistakes.
I also don't want to send the family to the poor house in the process. I have already bought a Gore Tex cycling jacket, arm warmers, leg warmers, tights and a wicking type LS jersey. (bought all on ebay so fairly cheap)
I haven't addressed my hands, feet or head yet. I saved these for last because I know they will likely be the most critical. Considering all of the above what would you recommend that I have on hand for the winter? What should I spend money on and what should I not? Thanks...
(moved this to Winter Cycling... prob fits better there.)

I think your statement "because you can not "proxy" any https or any secure port" is totally wrong. If you couldnot proxy https port it doesnot mean its not possible in zimbra.
I dont think zimbra has that functionality
Are you looking for DR scenario or recovering from backup ?
Seems antivirus has some issues. Just disable it for the time being and start MTA again and in meantime analyse what went wrong in AV
This has always been a issue on UI. Better use command line for this.
Depends of you still preserve the old logs or if user set it recently. logs get purged by default every week. If you have logs search mailbox.log
You can change the crontab 30 23 * * * for /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdailyreport -m. Thats not an issue.
zimbraSmtpHostname = for outgoing mails
zimbraMailTransport = for incoming mails
What behaviour you see ?
I dont think the issue is because of emptying folder. Its because of something else. Can you share mailbox.log for that period.
By default message aging is disabled.
When you say backup by tar do you mean bring zimbra service down and then tar /opt/zimbra and then start service ? If you dont bring the setrvice down db will not be consistent and backup is of no...
Somehow I couldnt locate MX record for these domains: -
> skcomms.com
Server: ns1-blr3.eng.vmware.com
Address: 10.112.0.1
primary name server = ns1.livedns.co.uk
Should enable message aging on COS.
Normally incremental backup should move these older redologs. Can you verify if incr backup is happening correctly ?
zmsetup.log for upgrade is also attached. The zmsetup is from the point we see failures.
Forgot to mention upgrade was from version 5.0.14 to 6.0.7.
Hi ,
I upgraded to version Release 6.0.7_GA_2473.UBUNTU8_64 UBUNTU8_64 FOSS edition and I am seeing my mailboxd service constantly stopping.

try to access using ip address and check mailbox.log
Changed IP in host file as well ? and do you have localhost entry as well in hostfile ? What does mailbox.log say ?
Recreate the certs using the link you provided.

I feel hard to believe that you dont have that setting already set on your server. What version are you running on ? you can always check :

OK, OK, I agree. My summary ignored the subtlety behind the case cited.
But at least I was closer than the phrasing I corrected. Or so I think.
> The issue is that the air con dudes made their own decision because they
> felt they could.
Yes. And this raises a whole can of worms. Basically, the air con dudes were making a "trivial" alteration to the implementation, and therefore to the design intent, of the structural engineer. However, their alteration turned out to be not so trivial after all.
This brings me to the subject of in line comments in code. Good code doesn't need comments all over the place. Good code pretty much tells its own story, and the reader can follow the story and discern the intent behind the code, just by following the code.
But there are cases where the design intent is not obvious, even to the well versed reader. In those cases, a comment that makes intent completely explicit, can be enormously helpful.
In the case of the air con dudes, I wouldn't expect a comment regarding the intent behind the steel beam to have been engraved on the beam itself. But I wouldn't be surprised if good engineering practice might recommend a note on the blueprints stating that the intent was to eventually extend the building five floors upward, and not to mess up the beams.
I'd like to bring this back to the case at hand, but this post is long

I see the risk factor as being one of recasting a simple element as a list consisting of only one element, and then extending the list. Is this what you were referring to above? Received on Sat Feb 18 2006 - 06:48:48 CST

The study shows that companies around the world have at least one thing in common: difficulty in filling in-demand jobs. Employers in the top ten world economies identified which positions their organisations typically take the longest to fill as they struggle to find qualified candidates. IT managers, engineers, accountants, secretaries were considered as profiles that were the hardest to fill in India. The online survey, conducted by Harris Interactive included responses from more than 5,000 hiring managers and human resource professionals in countries with the largest gross domestic product.

Hello, my stem was recently stolen with my nitto albatross bars. It is a 1 1/8, 25.4, 100cm. You can see it on these bikes as well as many others for the past few years before the move to adjustable ones.
Yes I want it for aesthetics. (The adjustable ones are ugly and it messes the clean lines of my bike) However I also want it because I find it to work the best with my nitto albatros bars. Even though my clamp size on the adjustable 1 1/8 25.4 stems I have bought to try to replace the stolen one are the same as the nitto bars 25.4, the bars still seem to spin under pressure.
For example
I have tried carbon seat post compound, sandpaper, ect. Must be that beautiful nitto polish.
They still make the stem as I called Trek and Raleigh, however they wont sell it to me.
Anyone have one of these in their junk pile or now someone at raleigh or trek that I convince someone to sell me one.
