Carrollton Ave is a long, 4-mile thoroughfare of food and fun that extends from Uptown at the Riverbend to Mid-City at Bayou St. John. It's split into N. Carollton and S. Carrollton by Canal St in the Mid-City area of the street, and both sides offer a wide range of local and international foodie fare. You can find addresses and phone numbers for these restaurants at NOMenu.com.
Beginning in the Riverbend at the far end of S. Carrollton, you'll find everything from Louisiana Pizza Kitchen and O'Henry's to Cooter Brown's Tavern's selection of oysters and beer to great late-night diner food at Camellia Grill. Farther down you'll find New Orleans classics at the long-time establishment Ye Olde College Inn.
In terms of more international foods, you'll find a wealth of options on the S. Carrollton side Uptown. There's great Thai food at LA Thai, Bangkok Thai and Basil Leaf. Lebanon's features Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, and Café Granada next door serves up Spanish tapas. Mona's Café also has great Middle Eastern food. There are several Chinese restaurants, including China Orchid, China Palace, Chinese Kitchen, Dragon King and, the local favorite, Five Happiness. Little Korea boasts great Korean fare, and Little Tokyo Noodle Bar and Mikimoto cover Japanese foods. Jazmine Café also has fantastic Vietnamese food.
Oak St branches off from S. Carrollton and has its own selection of food and drinks for you to try.
On the N. Carrollton side, it is shorter and has fewer restaurants, but its own selection is still boast-worthy. One of the most well-known has to be Angelo Brocato, a classic institution serving up the best in Italian pastries and gelato. You'll find more Italian food at Venezia just down the road.
In that same area, you'll find Mexican fare at El Riconsito, Taqueria Guerrerro Mexico and Felipe's Taqueria, and Chinese food is at Yummy Yummy. Across the street is Thai food at Doson's Noodle House, stuffed burgers at Ms. Juicy Lucy's and pizza at Wit's Inn.
Down the road a bit, Fellini's Café has great pizza and sandwiches, and across the street is Toups' Meatery, which has steaks and Cajun food. KJean's seafood has fantastic boiled shrimp and crawfish.
As you can see, as New Orleans is known for its vast amount of food selections, Carrollton Ave alone has an incredible wealth of options. Also, both ends of Carrollton Ave—from St. Charles Ave to S. Claiborne Ave Uptown and from Canal St to City Park Ave in Mid-City—are on the streetcar lines, and both of these sections have the highest concentrations of these accessible and delicious restaurants.
Next time you're in the city, hop on a streetcar, and enjoy all that Carrollton Ave has to offer.

For those that didn't attended my presentation at the Maemo Summit (videos are still MIA ), I added some new features in BlueMaemo for Maemo5, one of these feature is the ability to send events using the accelerometer motion, is still in a very early stage, but as you can see in the video below, you can already play simple games.
BlueMaemo needs a lot of love before entering Maemo Extras, but unfortunately this month I don't have plans for more improvements, I've a lot of other things to do and also I've to start job hunting (Know a position for a talented SW devel ? :D), but I appreciate suggestions for improvements and bug reports. Big thanks for all alpha testers that helped a lot so far.
If you want to test the alpha version of BlueMaemo, you can grab it in the Extras-devel repository, please remember that the software in that repository is not intended for end users, before enable this repository, read this post.
The accelerometer control is enabled via the button "one" and "two"(experimental air mouse) in the gamepad profile. More instructions here.

Many universities have been creating multidisciplinary research institutes over the past several years in a reflection of the more collaborative nature of science. Typically, the stories are similar in origin; perhaps a new building, some specialized resources, a directed research vision and, of course, a select group of top-level faculty members who can push that vision forward— in part, by providing a level of prestige that can draw in the lifeblood of research: funding and students.
But, what if this traditional model was turned on its head? Thanks to some forward-thinking scientists at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, we have an answer: the Institute for NanoBioTechnology.
Launched in May 2006, the INBT employs the emerging field of nanotechnology, which manipulates matter at the molecular, or even atomic, levels to design new materials and devices, to both answer fundamental questions about cell behavior and to develop new advances in biomedicine.
At first glance, it may seem like ordinary fare, but a closer inspection reveals that INBT follows its own path.
"If you look past the surface of a typical university-based multidisciplinary research center, you often find that the institute is self-contained and doesn't spill over to the surrounding academic community at large," explains Peter C. Searson, the Joseph R. and Lynn C. Reynolds professor of materials science and engineering at Johns Hopkins and director of INBT.
INBT's Associate Director Denis Wirtz, the Theophilus Halley Smoot professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, completes the thought: "In essence, a traditional research institute is kind of like an exclusive club. The INBT at Hopkins, in comparison, is exactly the opposite; it was designed to be an inclusive club."
The numbers back that up; just four years after INBT's launch, the institute has grown to include 212 affiliated members from across the vast Johns Hopkins community. Members hail from the School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Whiting School of Engineering and even the Applied Physics Laboratory.
And, INBT still will welcome more, for it's as much a social network as a science institute; its purpose is to help Hopkins researchers interested in pursuing nanotechnology find partners or resources for their research, be it biologists who are looking for engineering tools to answer their questions or engineers seeking biological problems for their technology.
NRC Publishes Report on Multidisciplinary Research
The term "multidisciplinary science" constantly is evolving— after all, it wasn't that long ago when merging the fields of biology and chemistry seemed like a radical concept, whereas today, its common to see scientists who equally are well-versed in genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.
However, as the 21st century marches on, another seemingly radical merger is taking shape as the physical sciences become more prevalent in biology. True, some fields like structural biology have employed principles from physics for many years, but now, scientists from many other traditionally "descriptive" biology fields have been heading towards this life sciences-physical sciences interface. This can be seen from the individual lab to whole universities, such as the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology highlighted here.
Recently, the National Research Council has shed more light on this growing convergence through the publication of their report, "Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences." Prepared by a committee which included American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology President Gregory Petsko, this report presents three main objectives: 1) to provide a framework for understanding the goals of intersection science and why it is worthy of attention from both scientists and funding agencies; 2) to assess current efforts at combining physical and life sciences and suggest some promising opportunities for future efforts; and 3) to set out strategies to enhance collaboration so that researchers can take full advantage of the opportunities at this intersection.
The report is worth a read by any scientist who currently is, or is considering, carrying out work at the physics-biology interface.

This is a vital resource, because, as scientific disciplines go, nanotechnology is a truly integrative field. It may deal with matter at the smallest scale, but the functional interface between biology, chemistry, physics and engineering is immense.
"Think about all the scientific expertise required to develop gold nanoparticles that can deliver targeted drugs to a tumor," says Wirtz, citing a common nanotech application. "You need clinical researchers who understand tumor physiology, colloid and interface scientists who can design particles that will work in the bloodstream, molecular biologists to perform in vitro studies, imaging experts to track the particles in vivo and toxicologists who can ascertain if the nanoparticles will be poisonous, just to name a few."
INBT accomplishes its mission of bringing together interested nanoscientists through a variety of efforts. Its website serves as a welcome center and community portal, providing a list of INBT affiliates and their research interests, relevant funding opportunities, a repository of nanotechnology tools that Hopkins researchers have developed and even an online grant submission assistant.
INBT also hosts an annual symposium on campus that highlights emerging areas of nanotechnology research in health and biology, another networking and educational opportunity that Searson notes is one of the most highly attended scientific events at the university.
The institute even runs annual competitions for pilot project programs, awarding seed money to teams of two or more faculty that propose research ideas spanning the biology-physical science interface.
"These awards are great because, in today's funding environment, especially when dealing with novel and untested techniques, a good idea is simply not enough," notes American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology member Pamela Zeitlin, a professor of pediatrics at Hopkins who has been one of many clinicians to join up with the INBT. "These days, you need some proof of the principle, and these small seed grants help researchers get that invaluable preliminary data to support larger grants."
Last year, Zeitlin, who studies the molecular and genetic underpinnings of cystic fibrosis, teamed up with colleague Neeraj Vij and received a project award to study the potential of inhaled nanoparticles to deliver cystic fibrosis drugs directly to the lungs and avoid potential systemic side effects.
As Searson explains, "Hopkins is an ideal institution for researchers who want to explore nanotechnology in biomedicine, and INBT strives to do the utmost to lower the barrier to entry and encourage them to make that effort."
In fitting with the nontraditional and inclusive nature of INBT, the origin of this institute is quite unusual as well. It wasn't a grand design unveiled at the presidential-level, a large philanthropic donation or some other top-down development that led to INBT's formation. Rather, the vision for this integrative center was a grassroots effort, originating with a small group of researchers who saw an opportunity to connect many of Hopkins' academic strengths.
The genesis occurred in 2004, when Searson and Wirtz began having informal conversations about some interesting areas where they could expand their research. "And about that time, the National Institutes of Health was discussing nanomedicine as part of their roadmap, and we both agreed that biomedical innovations, particularly in drug delivery and medical imaging, would be significant outlets for nanotechnology," Searson says. "And Hopkins, which is synonymous with outstanding medical research at both the basic and clinical levels, would provide no shortage of connections for that outlet."
"But, we decided we wanted something more than just us knocking on some biologists' doors looking for collaborative projects," he continues. "We began wondering, how could we make a nanobiology initiative happen on a large scale?"
So, Searson and Wirtz gathered up some other like-minded colleagues, such as ASBMB member Peter N. Devreotes in Hopkins' department of cell biology.
"I thought the idea Peter and Denis presented was wonderful, though not necessarily because of the nanotechnology angle," says Devreotes, who serves as part of the INBT executive committee. "After all, molecular biologists have been working at the 'nano' scale for more than 30 years."
"However, our biology faculty has this tremendous resource in the outstanding engineering programs at Hopkins, and developing fruitful collaborations between the two groups would really help us advance basic biomedical knowledge, particularly in getting more quantitative information."
Over the next two years, the INBT initiative slowly moved up the academic ladder, eventually reaching the level of Hopkins' president and deans, whom they then managed to convince that setting up a nanobiotechnology institute was worthwhile.
And, four years later, the numbers have rewarded that decision. Not only have more than 200 researchers signed on to this undertaking, including many of this university's most accomplished members, but INBT also already has generated more than $44 million in federal funding, almost triple the expected amount, given the number of submissions.
Among these many grants is the 5-year/$14.8 million award for the Johns Hopkins Engineering in Oncology Center, launched last October as one of the dozen new National Cancer Institute-sponsored Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers, an initiative aimed at pursuing a new avenue of cancer research by studying the physical laws and properties of this disease.
"The award for the EOC exemplifies how having a coordinated institute has helped Johns Hopkins as a whole," says Searson. "Denis foresaw that new approaches for cancer could be a big NIH focus in the future, so we helped pave the way for that in some of the projects we supported and in making nanotechnology for cancer the focus of our symposium in 2008."
"We try to anticipate funding trends," adds Wirtz, "so, by the time we need to make proposals, we already have teams of scientists with experience in that field, as well as a proven record of working together and training students together, so we set up an unbeatable proposal."
As to where INBT might make its next major impact, Searson notes that discussions are already underway for future initiatives, although he notes, with a smile, that they are "top secret."
However, he directs all curious individuals to the annual NanoBio symposium. "Remember, we focused on cancer in our 2008 symposium and soon thereafter developed our EOC proposal," he says. "So, if you want some clue as to areas we think are important, well, neurobiology was the topic of the 2009 symposium, and just last month, we hosted our 2010 symposium on nanotechnology in public health and the environment."
As for other future plans, INBT actively is looking at increasing corporate and industry partnerships, a vital link considering the commercial potential of nanotechnology and also preparing for a new 18,000-square-foot headquarters on the Homewood campus. For, while INBT remains a bit nontraditional as research institutes go, Searson and Wirtz acknowledge that it cannot be completely virtual, and a centralized location is important to provide physical interactions, especially among students, that can boost collaboration.
But, although this future campus space will provide a central hub for the university-wide INBT, the real glue that holds this institute together is its student and postdoctoral workforce— and not just because they do all of the grunt work.
"The students have been instrumental to our success because they play the matchmaker," Wirtz notes. "They develop the ideas for cross-disciplinary projects that help bring faculty together."
For example, Wirtz, who employs particle-tracking technology to study cytoskeleton activity and cell movement, recently had a student propose an idea to use these tracking techniques to monitor viral entry into cells. Knowing very little about viral behavior, Wirtz was nervous about the many potential experimental pitfalls. "But, over at the medical school, we have Robert Siciliano, one of the foremost experts on HIV, so I encouraged my student to talk to him, and soon we had set up a joint effort." Searson and Devreotes, meanwhile, recently have set up their own joint effort to develop a universal method of tagging cell surface receptors using quantum dot technology.
That's why training initiatives have been a vital component of INBT's mission. Beyond simply developing better nanobiotechnology tools, they want to create a new breed of scientists and engineers who speak a common language, and who would be equally adept at publishing in both biological and engineering journals.
"We're not talking about an engineer who publishes an article with some biological applications in an engineering journal," Searson says. "We're talking about an engineer who can publish a paper in a top-level biology journal, who can really pass a rigorous peer review of experts."
To accomplish this, INBT has initiated programs for trainees at all levels, including postdoctoral fellowships in nanotechnology for cancer medicine and summer research opportunities for undergraduates.
A core element, though, is the National Science Foundation-funded IGERT (integrative graduate education and research traineeship) fellowship program. The IGERT program brings together about 6-10 incoming graduate students of various backgrounds each year, and, starting with a 1-week boot camp where senior IGERT fellows provide a crash course on basic principles and techniques in both life sciences and engineering, they undertake classes and seminars to prepare them for multidisciplinary, nanotechnology research; the program includes an open-ended lab course where the students design and develop their own nanoprobes, with the students and advisors working together to tailor the project to the interests of the group.
Afterwards, IGERT fellows are strongly encouraged to find a secondary adviser in a different field to help them become more well-rounded. This co-advising is more than a token effort; the students have lab space and lab responsibilities, such as giving group meetings, for both of their mentors. However, by the time the fellows have completed their requirements, they have learned how to work with people of different backgrounds, developed important skills in critical thinking, gained solid knowledge in a complementary discipline and have developed a strong network of colleagues that, hopefully, lasts beyond Hopkins.
"It definitely has required a little extra work on my part, but it certainly has been worth it," notes IGERT fellow Laura Dickinson, a student in Sharon Gerecht's group in the chemical and biomolecular engineering department who studies how various stem cells reprogram and repattern to form functional blood vessels. "I think I've gained a better understanding of difficult concepts like surface patterning and quantum dots, and it's been great meeting students from other disciplines who I can call on for help in case I need it."
"I think in the near future, such cross-disciplinary training will become commonplace," Searson says, "and we'll look back and wonder how we ever taught students before."
But, it's not just the students who are breaking down traditional walls.
Searson notes he's had numerous scientists from around the world talk to him and question how INBT, with so many joint initiatives, handles tricky issues like co-authorship or assigning principal investigators. "And, I tell them it never has been a problem; our members understand the stakes and the great potential of the INBT and are willing to put aside some of their own individual gains."
Because, sometimes, you just have to break with tradition.

The Sport display (only available for sports cars)
The Sport display is part of the Sport Chrono
Package Plus that also includes a stopwatch and
buttons for dynamic driving settings (Sport mode).
The combination of the stopwatch and PCM allows
lap data to be recorded and evaluated.
The time is recorded by the stopwatch operated using the on-board computer in the instrument cluster.
Please also refer to the chapter in your owner's manual for more information on this.
The graphical display as well as the storage and evaluation of the recorded lap times and the associated lap lengths is performed by the PCM.
The following information can be recorded and displayed for each driven lap:
– the fastest lap time and in comparison the current lap time,
– a comparison of the current lap and the fastest lap so far,
– the portion of the lap already covered, and
– the distance or number of laps possible with the remaining fuel.
The functions of the Sport display can be used for
any route (e.g. trip to work), not just laps.
Any recorded lap/route can be defined as a reference route. This then forms the comparison basis for further laps/routes and recorded times. Laps/routes with lengths deviating from the reference lap by more than 15 percent (longer or shorter) are tagged in the evaluation.
Starting recording
Recording starts as soon as you start the
stopwatch in the CHRONO on-board computer
menu. The first lap corresponds to the reference
lap if none has already been loaded. The reference
lap is needed to display the circle diagram and the
remaining laps left in the tank.
You start the recording as well as continue the individual laps by operating the stopwatch in the on-board computer menu.

Financial Issues Pertaining to Chemotherapy and Testicular Cancer
I am currently entering chemotherapy for early Stage III testicular cancer. There will be some days where I will have to take a private service to and from therapy sessions.
- I would like to know if there is any reimbursement programs or services available for transportation? My insurance carrier does not cover this.
- I would also like to know if there is any services available for support or reimbursement for sperm banking since I am a new father of one child and my wife and I would still like to have another?
The availability of free or reduced price transportation services for cancer patients varies from area to area. The first step would be to contact your insurer to determine if transportation services would be covered. If the insurer does not provide coverage, the next step would be for you to contact your local chapter of the American Cancer Society [hyperlink to ACS here] to obtain a listing of transportation services available in your area. It should be noted that these services frequently utilize a sliding fee schedule based on an individual's income.
It is also suggested that you contact your local hospital's Social Services Department to determine if the hospital offers transportation services, or if they offer services through their preferred transportation provider.
Finally, we suggest that you contact your local public transportation authority to determine if they offer subsidized transportation service.
As in the case above, we suggest that you initially contact your local chapter of the American Cancer Society, and/or your local hospital's Social Services Department for information on sperm banking. In addition, we suggest that you personally contact local sperm banks and explain your situation. They may be able to provide some form of discounted fee.

Court doubts W.H. Hobby Lobby case
The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed skepticism of the legality of the Obama administration's refusal to accommodate for-profit companies' religious objections to the Obamacare requirement that most firms provide contraception in their employee health plans.
A majority of the justices seemed particularly doubtful of one of the administration's central legal claims: the assertion that for-profit companies have no religious rights under federal law.
Story Continued Below
During more than 90 minutes of arguments, several justices repeatedly questioned why the administration couldn't give for-profit companies with religious objections the same kind of accommodation that has been offered to religious nonprofits. Those organizations have been offered the chance to opt-out of contraceptive coverage and have it provided through their insurance company or administrator.
( PHOTOS: Hobby Lobby protests)
As usual, Justice Anthony Kennedy appeared to hold the swing vote overall, though it seemed likely the court would rule against the administration on the initial question of whether corporations have at least some religious-freedom protections. The Justice Department has argued those rights belong only to individuals.
Kennedy expressed concern over how allowing an exemption to the contraceptive requirement would impact the broader law and employees who receive the coverage. However, he also raised the point that the contraception provision is included in the mandatory coverage list because of a regulation — not because of what Congress wrote.
And Kennedy seemed troubled by the government's view about for-profit companies lacking religious rights.
"Under your view, a for-profit corporation…could be forced in principle to pay for abortions?" he asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli. "Your reasoning would permit that."
Chief Justice John Roberts noted that the plaintiffs in the two cases before the court view certain contraceptive methods as causing abortion, even though physicians and scientists disagree.
Isn't this about "these four methods of contraception that they believe provide abortions?" Roberts said. "I thought that's what we had before us."
Verrilli said the government "respects" the sincerity of the company owners' belief that Plan B, Ella and intrauterine devices can cause an abortion but carefully said that state and federal law does not classify them that way.
"I do think that is what makes this a difficult case, I agree," the solicitor general said. He noted that there are already accommodations to ensure private employers don't have to pay for abortions.
Tuesday's challenge to the Affordable Care Act involves national chain store Hobby Lobby, which is owned by evangelical Christians, and Conestoga Wood Specialties, which is owned by Mennonites. Those owners say that providing contraception would force them violate strongly held religious beliefs against the use of certain contraceptives.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg staunchly defended the coverage requirement. Sotomayor questioned under what circumstances a for-profit company can claim religious intent.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama 'confident' in NSA proposal)
"Who says it? The majority of shareholders? The corporate officers?" she asked. "Let's assume just a business that sells 5 percent of religious books, doesn't play Christmas music… works on Sunday, does nothing else religiously."
Justice Elena Kagan also vigorously defended the coverage rule, arguing that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga were not being forced to provide insurance coverage and could simply choose not to by paying $2,000 per year per employee—an amount far lower than the cost of health insurance.
But she later voiced some concerns about the breadth of the government's argument that for-profit companies lacked religious-freedom rights.

GOOD HELP IS HARD TO FIND: We're in the midst of a massive renovation of our home's master suite, an elegant and sprawling hall that's so large it can hold a king-size bed with enough spare room to accommodate a smallish escritoire. More than 20 years ago, when we overpaid so much for our house that it held the record for most money spent on a dwelling in the Plaza for a decade, our wife told us the master bedroom would have to be redone.
Plus, of course, the living room, the bathrooms, the kitchen and the other bedrooms, of which we've lost count.
Doing some mental triage, we decided the room most in need of renovation would be our office. We were a fulltime TV critic back then and we figured that if we didn't have a nice, private and handsomely appointed place to work, we might lose our "muse," then our job and then, of course, the house.
We were young and still of some use 20 years ago, so we did most of the work ourself: Built bookshelves and wall units, stripped the popcorn ceiling, painted. We wish we'd filmed it so we could have a record of that glorious time when American Men Built This Country.
We did less work as we got older and wealthier, though we were pressed into considerable and considerably irritating work when we hired a contractor for the kitchen remodel who kept telling us things like "Look at the contract, I never said I'd strip the wallpaper," so we did that; and "I never said I'd paint," so we did that; and "You never told me you wanted new moulding after I tore off and threw out the old moulding," so we did that. Pretty much all he did was knock holes in things and holler at us for doing shoddy work for him. We guess he had a point. Why pay him so much if we're not going to do his job well?
Anyhow, our original point is we've redone everything in the house, even had the backyard built by the intrepid barn designer and constructor and former City Councilman Mike Donelon, but we've never fixed up the master bedroom, which, as far back as 20 years ago when it was the most expensive bedroom in the 90808, needed new carpeting. Plus, it had that Disco-era popcorn acoustical ceiling, which must have looked good to someone at some point in history. And a patched-up hole in the wall where an air conditioner used to be. And wallpaper that looked like it was in "Deadwood." And closet doors that looked like they'd been in a saloon fight.
Even so, we might not've even got around to fixing it up now if we didn't just feel like having Donelon around again. Most people, they get lonely, they buy a cat or join a church group. We hire a contractor to hang out with us. And, even if we were good at building things, we couldn't build a better contractor than Donelon, who also, as you might've heard, gets skate parks built all over town. He and his helper Pedro Chavez (yes, a sk8ter) have been making a little latter-day showcase out of the room – even installing moulding and fixing chairs. And all this without a contract.
We're starting to think only crooked contractors use contracts.
We're not mentioning his fine work in what would be a doomed effort to get him to cut us some slack on the price. In fact, he charges us $12.50 just for using his name without prior notification and permission. We're actually losing money writing this. We're just saying you should think about hiring him when we're through with him, which might be a while yet, because the hardwood floors in the living room are warping like crazy after the idiot carpet cleaners were here at Christmas. They won't fix it; we signed a contract.
PEARL AT ELDO: Our next Monday Q&A is with the Father of Long Beach Blues, Bernie Pearl. You can look around this town all week for a more experienced bluesman than Pearl, but don't waste your time doing that, because a) you won't find one, and b) you'll miss his show tonight at 8 at the El Dorado Restaurant & Lounge.
The old-time Eldo is becoming quite the roadhouse these days, trading in its decades-long steak-and-lobster and piano-bar image for burgers and tacos and some fine hometown blues and dancing.
Pearl, who has accompanied some of the greatest blues artists of all time – we're saving the big names for Monday – has sat in on some blues jam sessions at the El Dorado, but tonight's his first show at the club with his band.
There's no cover, but tote along some money because every Thursday is $5 cheeseburger & fries night at the Eldo, which you'll find at 3014 Studebaker Road, at Spring Street, in Long Beach.

We have not one but two local morons who have opened their mouths and proven the fact. First, we have the Deputy Mayor of Potsdam, Ruth Garner, who was quoted by the Daily Courier-Observer as saying:
"If everybody is allowed to put out signs on all of the things they agree or disagree with, good God, it would be chaos," said Garner.
Welcome to America, Mrs. Garner, where we have freedom of speech. Whether you feel that voters' opinions are "chaos" or not, you don't have the ability to control their speech.
Second, we have Tom Sauter, who has earlier made a fool of himself. Apparently that's part of his job description, because he continues to do it. DANC (Tom's employer) is going to run fiber optic cables to the counties' industrial parks. First, fiber optic cable is not magic. The phone company and cable companies are happy to run fiber wherever they need to, in response to customer demand. So whenever DANC starts spouting the magic of economic development through fiber optic cable, I have to cough "bullshit" into my hand. Second, the very article announcing this points out that of eight industrial parks, two or three have fiber optic lines. Tom (the moron) then tries to claim that there would not be overlap with private companies in the areas in question. Is Tom ignorant of those two or three industrial parks that do have fiber? Or is he, again, lying?
Note that I hold out no criticism of Tom Sauter the person. A guys's gotta make a living. I just think that his job requires him to utter things which are utterly stupid.

M24 Army Sniper Rifle: A Brief History
The U.S. Army adopted the M24 in 1988 as they sought a centerpiece for their sniper program. Not your granddaddy's Model 700, it was built on the Remington 700 Long Action with the original intent to chamber it in .30-06. There was also movement afoot, thanks to influence from Special Forces, to have the option to later re-chamber for .300 Win Mag. However, the lack of military grade .30-06 in the supply chain and the need to standardize meant most M24s were chambered in 7.62 NATO, which is how they tended to remain.
Today, if you're a civilian shooter and want an M24 reproduction, you call George Gardner and the crew at the Missouri-based GA Precision.
The original Army M24s were designated the M24 SWS — or Sniper Weapon System — and could be readily identified from their distinctive front and rear sight post. The system came with a massive Hardigg case, which included a Leupold Mark 4 M3 10X scope, cleaning accessories and aperture-style sights. None of these are included with the GA Precision gun.
Today, the M24 has morphed into the XM2010 Enhanced Modular Sniper Weapon System, also produced by Remington. But I wanted the more basic 80s-era rifle, so GA Precision it was.
The GA Precision M24
I chose to make mine "sport scale" by adding a Leupold Mark 4 LR/T M3 3.5-10X40mm scope, which I have been able to verify was used by the Army on some M24s (though most utilized the Mark 4 fixed 10x). I also went with this variable power version because I specifically wanted the Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR), an option not available on the standard fixed power.
The standard 6-9-inch swivel Harris Bipod was installed with the added Phoenix Tactical Podclaws to improve purchase, reduce felt recoil and allow you to consistently "load the bipod." They really grab, let me tell you. Also added was a KMW Pod-Loc, for added control on the bi-pod's swivel feature. Next page

I was deriving the solution to the stochastic differential equation $$dX_t = \mu X_tdt + \sigma X_tdB_t$$ where $B_t$ is a brownian motion. After finding $$X_t = x_0\exp((\mu - \frac{\sigma^2}{2})t + \mu B_t)$$ I wanted to calculate the expectation of $X_t$. However I think I'm not quite getting it. I thought that I'd just calculate $$E(x_0\exp((\mu - \frac{\sigma^2}{2})t + \mu B_t) = x_0\exp((\mu - \frac{\sigma^2}{2})t)E(\exp(\mu B_t))$$ but the book I'm using gives as answer $E(X_t) = x_0\exp(\mu t)$. I found this quite surprising as I don't quite see how $\sigma$ could just disappear. After reading Wikipedia I see that the result could be either $E(X_t) = x_0\exp((\mu + \frac{\sigma^2}{2})t)$ or $E(X_t) = x_0\exp(\mu t)$, depending on whether you use the Itô interpretation or the Stratanovich interpretation.
Since the book I use only considers the Itô formulation of stochastic integration I am interested in the latter result. But how do I obtain this? Do I just fail in calculating $E(\exp(\mu B_t))$? Thanks in advance.

It's official!
It was just announced that "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is the title for Ben Affleck's highly anticipated Batman flick.
Warner Bros. also revealed that principle photography on the Zack Snyder-directed movie was set to begin Wednesday in Detroit.
Filming for the star-studded movie will take place around the globe in Illinois, Africa and the South Pacific.
Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman, while Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons and Holly Hunter will also all join the cast.
You Can Win a Cameo in "Star Wars: Episode VII"
And while there aren't any details about the plot just yet, we do know that Chris Terrio wrote the movie from a screenplay by David S. Goyer.
Just last week, Snyder shared the first photo of Affleck in full Caped Crusader, writing, "I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham."
He also posted a photograph hinting what the latest version of the Batmobile will look like.
VIDEO: Why Zack Snyder cast Henry Cavill as Superman
"Could be time to pull the tarp...Tomorrow?" Snyder wrote, along with a shot of the ride partly covered by a tarp.
Affleck landed the famed superhero role back in August 2013 and has since been looking buffer than ever to get into the superhero's getup.
But it looks like we're going to have to wait a while before seeing the action on the big screens...
The movie is slated to hit theaters on May 6, 2016.

Economic opportunity
Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
A roadside stand in South Sudan selling soap; an internet start-up in Gaza; a tofu processing plant in Indonesia: The global economy is connected by complex and dynamic markets. Mercy Corps believes in harnessing this inherent power to provide better opportunities for the world's poor and vulnerable, half of whom live on less than $2/day.
Local communities themselves have the ability to drive this change and no two situations are alike. For this reason, we take a holistic, locally-led approach, working with communities, their systems and structures to build businesses, increase income and improve employment opportunities. Even in the most fragile and informal markets, we focus on intentional, market-based solutions, ones which can succeed and expand long after we've left.
Learn more about our approach to market systems development ▸
Mercy Corps promotes safe, decent and equitable income opportunities for individuals around the world.
Learn about our approach to make markets work in crisis ▸
Mercy Corp's market-driven approach to crisis response leverages the capacities of non-aid actors in local and global economic systems and gives crisis-affected individuals the ability to drive their own decisions and secure their own lives and livelihoods.
Learn about our approaches to the "world of work" — employment, employability, entrepreneurship and job creation ▸

Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia: Horn of Africa disaster didn't happen overnight
Photos and stories from the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa — a region that includes Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia — have brought to light suffering on an almost unimaginable scale.

Twenty-year-old Nyasha Zulu and 21-year-old Simbarashe Mudara have lived most of their lives in the dormitory town of Chitungwiza, 30 kilometers from Zimbabwe's capital, Harare.
Haiti: Mobile wallets help Haitians rebuild
Families needed food. Small vendors and local economies needed cash. And it turns out the solution to this Catch-22 was right in the hands — or the pockets — of most Haitians.
Indonesia: Kid-friendly food carts take on child malnutrition
The slums of Jakarta, Indonesia are home to some of the poorest families in Asia. The city — one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, with more than 28 million people — has dozens of such places, where thousands of people live cramped in close quarters.

People can find more than good deals at local stores and shopping centers.
People can find more than good deals at local stores and shopping centers.
Retailers are ramping up their staffs to prepare for the holiday rush. Linda Sumblin, executive director of the Workforce Development Board of Okaloosa and Walton Counties and JobsPlus, said the number of part-time seasonal jobs and the number people applying for those jobs is up compared to last year.
�We are seeing an increase this year, more so in some seasonal retail and hospitality,� Sumblin said. �It�s great news.�
In the past, JobsPlus hosted job fairs dedicated to seasonal positions. This year, the agency combined that with the larger Panhandle Job Fair and the Northwest Florida Veterans & Military Hiring Fair.
Instead of a job fair, JobsPlus has brought local businesses hiring for the holidays to its offices for day-long sessions to help go over applications and interviews potential employees.
Sumblin recommended seasonal job seekers go to One Stop Career Centers in Fort Walton Beach, Crestview and DeFuniak Springs to meet with a career counselor.
Sumblin�s estimates for holiday hiring match national trends.
The National Retail Federation projects that stores will hire up to 625,000 seasonal workers, up from last year�s 607,500.
�The retail industry creates hundreds of thousands of jobs every holiday season by adding new staff in stores, distribution centers and customer service departments across the country,� Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the National Retail Federation, said in a news release. �In addition to the newly created jobs, many retailers also offer existing staff the opportunity to work longer hours if they want.
�New jobs help people support their families, and for some, seasonal employment can turn into a career opportunity once the holidays have passed,� Shay said.
JobsPlus will have its 40-foot Mobile One-Stop vehicle stationed at Silver Sands Premium Outlets from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 28 to help fill the more than 200 seasonal openings there. Job seekers can visit the on-site Information Center for a list of job openings, Ashley Watkins, marketing director for Silver Sands Premium Outlets, wrote in an email.
�Many of our stores hire seasonal employees during the holidays, and we are looking forward to the holiday season at Silver Sands Premium Outlets,� Watkins said. �With our extended holiday hours this year, we anticipate that many of our stores will need seasonal employees throughout the rest of the year.�

Mountain lakes and marshes reduce peak flooding. Mangroves reduce the impacts of tsunamis, hurricanes and storms. And in arid regions wetlands are life-savers during extreme droughts. Natural and man-made disasters affect millions of vulnerable people in the world.
It is our aim to ensure that natural ecosystem based solutions are integrated in disaster risk reduction (DRR) plans.
The impacts of natural and man-made disasters are expected to increase not only due to climate related extreme weather, but also due to the loss of wetlands and forests. The vital role of ecosystems is however hardly taken into account in DRR. We have therefore made 'ecosystem smart disaster risk reduction' a core focus of our work. We demonstrate that sustaining and restoring wetlands is a cost-effective strategy for DRR and climate change adaptation, with strong benefits for poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation.
Since three years we have joined forces with CARE, Cordaid, the Red Cross and the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre. From 2011-2015 we collaborated in nine countries across three continents to strenghten community resilience, empowering civil society and policy dialogue.
Together the partners have reached more than a half a million people with activities that integrate climate change adaptation, ecosystem management and restoration into disaster risk reduction. We call it 'integrated risk managment'.

So if you are like many of the wordpress website masters that upgraded or installed the new version of WordPress 3.3 you might have found yourself getting the following error:
Upload Failed. No Temporary Folder (wording might be slightly different).
You probably searched high and low for an answer and didn't get anywhere.
Fear not. I have the solution 🙂
So you have to be a little nerdy to do this, and you have to have root access. If you don't have root access you need to tell the administrators of your website or hosting company to do this.
Step 1)
Go into your php.ini file. This is located in /etc/php5/apache2 (in Ubuntu)
So you do this:
cd /etc/php5/apache2
you want to edit the file php.ini and search for:
when you get to that line make sure there is no ; in front of it. It should look like it is written open_basedir=
Now you want to add the path to your website. If you are hosting multiple wordpress sites you want to direct it to the main path of all the websites. For instance if you have all your vhosted websites in /var/www then you would change it to this:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TRAILING / at the end (i.e. /var/www/ NOT /var/www )
save your php.ini file
Now go to your sites-available directory for apache2. In ubuntu this is located in /etc/apache2/sites-available
so type this:
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
type this:
ls -al
this should display all the websites you are currently hosting or you might have one file that has all the vhost entries in it.
Edit each file that runs a wordpress website, or the master file if you just have the one (default is the name) and find the spot where it says
ory /var/www/yourwebsite/>
right under that line you want to put this:
php_admin_value open_basedir none
continue to add that line to each and every website you have that is running wordpress.
now Restart apache. In ubuntu you do that by typing this:exit.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That's it! You should now be able to upload.

To the airport in Portland, Ore., we say: How do we love thy carpet? Let us count the many, many ways.
To all fliers hanging out at airports, we say "Quick, look down!" I must have missed the memo that addresses what travel website Jaunted is calling the "shockingly popular" trend of people taking pictures of #airportcarpet -- often with their feet included -- and posting on Instagram.
More than 880 carpet photos (and counting) have been shared on Instagram, ranging from Seattle Tacoma International Airport's (SEA) nautical blue waves on a rich green background to realistic pictures of rocks at Wellington International Airport in New Zealand.
Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport's (PHX) swirling circles inset with airplanes also has fans (Instragam tag @phxcarpet). The few of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) shades show rather unmemorable swirls and geometric patterns in muted colors.
The most ridiculously loved airport carpet has to be Portland, Ore., where keeping the city weird is a daily goal. Portland International Airport's (PDX) floor coverings laid down in 1987 feature a teal (or maybe sea foam?) background with intersecting pink, purple and red squares in geometric lines.
"We've been pleasantly surprised by the attention and adoration given to our carpet," airport spokeswoman Kama Simonds said Thursday, noting one woman has had the pattern tattooed on her body. The carpets have a Facebook page, several Twitter accounts, and the Instagram hashtag #pdxcarpet -- none of them run by the airport.
Portland Monthly last year even penned and posted "Ode on a Carpet," by T.S.A. Eliot.
But eventually airport carpets -- even those that are well-loved -- get old and need to be replaced. At the end of this year, Portland will spend $12 million to replace the carpet on its 18 acres of airport and car-rental space. The new pattern is "very reminiscent" of the old carpet, Simonds said, and should be finished in 2015.
And anyone can sign up for the airport's free email update of the state of the airport carpets. Really.

TiVo, the best-known independent maker of digital video recorders, announced yesterday that the company's DVR software has been certified by the largest cable provider in the United States, Comcast, for use in Comcast's own DVR units. Comcast approved the software on Wednesday, three days before a previously-announced deadline of June 30. Comcast DVRs based on the TiVo software should be ready in select areas as early as August. We're still eager to hear what hardware and service options will be supported.
TiVo has been struggling for many years to achieve profitability and a sustainable business model, in the wake of an awkward transition to HD and competition from cable and satellite companies who want to provide their own digital video recording equipment at a higher profit. Typically, the DVRs provided by these companies are built by the lowest bidder and provide a truly awful user experience—one unit I tested that came with Bell Canada's satellite service would often crash simply when changing channels—and most TiVo owners greatly prefer their solution. This wasn't enough, however, for DirectTV, who decided to expand its HD satellite service with new stations that the HD TiVo could not record (so far, DirecTV has only launched a handful of newer HD channels). By providing TiVo software with their own DVRs, Comcast may find they have a competitive advantage over other service providers.
Then again, in recent years cable companies have improved their own offerings, and many customers will swear by them, even if TiVo aficionados continue to hold their noses. In many ways, this launch with Comcast is more important than even the launch of the Series 3.
Nevertheless, TiVo is still working to improve its hardware lineup by introducing a lower-cost Series 3 DVR, and the company is still searching for new advertising revenue streams. However, TiVo's future likely lies in signing more deals with cable and satellite providers like the one they have with Comcast, or, perhaps, getting back into bed with DirecTV.

|Construction continues on the Physics and Nanotechnology Building
Construction continues on the new Physics and Nanotechnology building which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013. The $83 million facility will house 125 new offices and 40 new state-of-the-art laboratories. It will feature a 5,000 square foot clean room and a "high bay" for assembling large experimental equipment.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears aren't ruling out an early return for injured quarterback Jay Cutler.
Expected to miss at least four weeks because of a torn groin muscle, Cutler hopes to be back sooner.
"That's the goal," he said.
Cutler addressed the media Tuesday for the first time since he was injured in a loss to the Washington Redskins on Oct. 20. The Bears said he would miss at least a month and be evaluated week to week after that.
Coach Marc Trestman said that timeline was based on what doctors said is the norm for a player with Cutler's injury. It doesn't mean he can't come back sooner. He also said the doctors will decide when Cutler is ready.
"It could happen faster," Trestman said. "Jay's optimistic; we all are. But I'm not saying we're not bringing Jay back for four weeks. That's what the doctors have said and we'll work off that timeline. If it happens quicker, that would be great."
Trestman did not declare Cutler out for Monday's game against the Green Bay Packers but said it's "highly unlikely" he would play. Assuming he sits out as expected, Josh McCown will start.
The Bears host Detroit the following week, and while receiver Brandon Marshall told Chicago's WMVP-AM 1000 on Monday the quarterback would be ready for that game, Cutler grinned when asked about that.
"He's optimistic. And so am I," Cutler said. "So we'll see how it goes."
Cutler got knocked out of the Redskins game early in the second quarter on a sack by Chris Baker. He stayed down for several minutes and limped off the field.
Besides Cutler, Chicago also lost Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs to a small fracture in his left shoulder in that game. He was expected to miss about six weeks, leaving the struggling Bears (4-3) without their most important players on offense and defense.
They've dropped three of four, and after an off week, the schedule isn't exactly taking an easy turn.
Stopping Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, not to mention Ndamukong Suh and the Lions, would have been tough enough at full strength. Now, the Bears are trying to keep pace in the NFC North with key pieces missing.
Cutler was enjoying his best season in recent memory in his first year under Trestman, but things took a bad turn for him at Washington. He struggled in that game, and when he went down, there was no hiding his agony.
"This has been the most significant pain-wise that I've had," Cutler said. He said he's seeing improvement but wouldn't get into specifics about his recovery or his rehab.

A couple of years ago we installed a small "Artists' Corner" gallery in a corner of the lower level lobby in the Butterfly Center. It opened with an exhibition of moth paintings from art students at SFASU, followed by a collection of monarch butterfly photos from a Houston naturelover, then drawings from 6-10th grade YES Prep students. For the next few months the corner will showcase a fabulous display of nature photographs put together by Zac Stayton, horticulturist for the Butterfly Center.
Zac is a Houston native. He received a degree in horticulture from Sam Houston State College in 2007, and subsequently worked at Newton Nurseries here in Houston. Then, inspired by a trip to Costa Rica, he picked up stakes and moved to Hawaii, where he spent a year working for a bromeliad grower. Luckily for us, he returned to Texas last year so we could hire him to join our team.
Zac is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable plantophile, and is especially fond of epiphytes such as orchids, Nepenthes pitcher plants, and of course, bromeliads. He is also an accomplished nature photographer, and has his own website where you can see his work: BanyamImages.com. The photos on display in the gallery include a series of photos taken in Hawaii and Costa Rica, featuring plants (of course) as well as insects, other animals, and scenics. On the other side of the display wall are photos of plants and butterflies he has taken in the Butterfly Center since starting work here last January.
Be sure to stop by to see Zac's photos when you next visit the Butterfly Center. Professionals and amateurs alike will be inspired to see the beauty of the Center seen through a photographer's eye!

Picturesque home provides family base
Staff Writer
Don and Marilyn Ratzlaff raised six children in Hillsboro and now that their family has grown to 30 members, their picturesque home on South Main Street provides just the right base for children and grandchildren who come as go as needed.
"Right now we have a daughter and her two girls staying with us as her husband is in Austin, Texas," Don Ratzlaff said on Tuesday. "They will be moving shortly, but we have plenty of room for them to stay here until the house is ready there."
The former bed-and-breakfast home that the Ratzlaffs purchased in 2008 has a separate side entrance, four bedrooms, and a complete living area upstairs. Originally built in 1915, the almost 100-year-home is still strong and tight, though Ratzlaff did make a few changes since taking ownership.
"There used to be a large dining area in the middle of the house," he said. "We turned that into a living area and added a wood-burning stove in the middle of the room. We heat the whole house with wood and really enjoy that type of warmth."
Even though the home has five bay windows on the south side, Ratzlaff said they were tight and the house was very comfortable.
When almost the entire family was home for Christmas a few months ago, grandchildren filled the living room with activity. With family in mind, Ratzlaff said he finished out part of the garage as an additional recreation room for when family members were all home.
"We enjoy hosting our family," he said. "This house makes it easy to do that."
Prior to living on South Main, Ratzlaff owned and operated Don's Studio on Ash Street in Hillsboro. They lived in a home on South Washington.
"I sold the studio in 2005 and we moved to Colorado Springs for several years," he said. "We went there to open up a studio and coffee shop with our daughter."
When parental family ties brought the Ratzlaffs back to Hillsboro in 2008, Don chose not to open up shop as a professional photographer again, but instead started work as a para-educator at Hillsboro Elementary School. Marilyn also gained employment with the school system and serves as a second grade aide.
"I still do some photography on the side, like the Tabor College presidential photos," he said. "But working at the school really fits our lifestyle now. We can both go to work and not have to make lesson plans or stay after hours. It is just real enjoyable work."
Of course, the Ratzlaffs also enjoy having time to spend with family members that come and go at their home in Hillsboro.

Local initiative was the driving force behind it
Staff writer
A new, large sign was unveiled and dedicated Sunday at the Cottonwood Crossing kiosk on the Santa Fe Trail west of Durham on 285th Road. It designates the Cottonwood Crossing interpretive site as an official stop on the Santa Fe National Historic Trail.
The Marion County segment of the Santa Fe Trail is the first place where a whole family of signs is linked to guide travelers along the trail route.
Steve Burns, a landscape architect with the National Park Service, said the sign is the first using a template that will be used across all nine national historic trails. A box on the signpost holds brochures that map the route of the trail in Marion County. By following signs, travelers can follow the trail from one end of the county to the other without assistance.
Steve Schmidt, president of the Cottonwood Crossing chapter of the Santa Fe Trail Association, led the proceedings. He gave a brief history.
The Santa Fe Trail Association was formed in 1986 to preserve, protect, and promote the history of the trail. In 1987, the Santa Fe Trail was designated a National Historic Trail by Congress. The NHT program is administered by the National Park Service.
Both groups work together to achieve common goals. The NPS provides funding for materials and technical support, and the various chapters of the SFTA provide the "boots on the ground," doing local research and providing volunteer labor.
The effort to create a driving tour along the trail was begun by the Cottonwood Crossing chapter in 2003. It took until 2009 before signs acceptable to the transportation departments of all trail states and all project partners were approved and a funding mechanism was established.
The first to be installed in Marion County were "Santa Fe Trail Crosses Here" signs along public roads. In 2011, "Local Tour Route" signs were installed. Earlier this year, the Marion County signage project was completed with installation of site identification signs at Cottonwood Crossing and Lost Springs Station.
Schmidt was quick to acknowledge those who helped him make the signage project a reality. He thanked the county for its support.
"The Marion County Sign Project would not have been possible without the approval and support of the commissioners of Marion County," he said.
Schmidt thanked Dennis Maggard, Joe Palic, and Michael Schneider for their assistance. He also thanked George Schutte of rural Lehigh for providing a place to store signs and launch installation operations.
"The sign project contributes to the economic development goals of the county by attracting tourist dollars to Marion County," he said.
Others who spoke at the unveiling were Aaron Mahr, superintendent of the Santa Fe National Historic Trail; Roger Slusher, president of the Santa Fe Trail Association; and Joanne Van Coevern, associate manager of the SFTA.
