When Nile and Nolan Rollene started combining last fall, they switched on a GPS receiver and a yield monitor to record the harvest. As the combine rolled through their central Iowa fields, the Rollenes could tell it was a good year, and the GPS monitor confirmed it. A yield map constructed from the information showed soybean harvest up 5 bu./acre over a year ago and corn yields up also.
The Franklin County growers with about 800 acres of cropland are part of the next wave of buyers after the early adopters who want precision farming equipment. Nolan purchased the monitor and GPS equipment when he started farming with his dad Nile a few years ago. Now the pair are full-fledged precision ag proponents. They pore over the yield maps with their seed sales representative to select the right varieties and hybrids for planting. They also map fertilizer application.
Mainstream monitors
As shown by growers like the Rollenes, precision farming has gone mainstream. "It's been difficult to get firm numbers, but we anticipate that there are over 40,000 yield monitors in use today," reports Todd Peterson, Pioneer Hi-Bred technologies manager.
USDA figures support Pioneer's estimates. About 40% of the corn harvested for grain went through a yield monitor last fall, according to USDA's Economic Research Service. And 17% of the corn acres planted for grain was field mapped.
"That number is staggering," Peterson says. "Yield monitors are becoming mainstream. But mapping systems lag behind."
Growers in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and southern Minnesota appear to be driving the use of monitors and GPS for mapping fields. These areas are hotbeds of monitor use and yield mapping.
Peterson also notes that the sale of used combines has added to monitor usage. He's heard of many customers who purchased used combines last year with monitors installed. Those customers needed help from Pioneer sales representatives to figure out how to use the monitors.
Pioneer sales representatives and agronomists for years have encouraged customers to use yield monitors and tie them into GPS for mapping. Currently, the Pioneer sales force is promoting a "monitor to mapping" program. Representatives will help growers upgrade a monitor to GPS and mapping capabilities.
Yield comparisons
These efforts are gaining results. Pioneer agronomists work with hundreds of sales reps who do mapping for customers and help create split-planter comparison maps. These maps provide comparisons of different seeds in one field so growers can make better-informed seed purchases.
One successful mapping program is operated by Pioneer field agronomist Mike Tierney of Nora Springs, IA. Tierney combines yield mapping information on a CD from about 100 growers in the central Iowa area, including the Rollenes. Software on the CD allows growers to view about 300 different comparisons ranging from different hybrids and varieties to production practices. For example, a grower can see how fall-applied versus spring-applied anhydrous treatment affected yields in different counties. Other growers may be interested in comparing manure to fertilizer application, different tillage and cultivation methods, and even planter speed and depth.
Tierney started offering this information to a few growers three years ago. He and his wife Sheryl put the information in a binder. Then they started including data from the customers of Pioneer sales representatives in the area. Last year, they moved the information onto a CD because of the growing volume of test results.
Tierney is surprised by how fast growers are adopting yield monitors and GPS technology. "It is going very quickly in Iowa," he says. "In other parts of the country, there may be some limitations of the land that don't allow easy adaptation." He estimates that, in the eight-county area by Mason City, IA, more than 400 GPS receivers are being used by growers.
Better seed selection
Split-planter and other yield comparison tests help growers determine what hybrids and varieties work best in certain fields. Tierney recalls one grower who used a split-planter test last year to see what variety would handle a moderate soybean cyst nematode (SCN) problem. The grower compared a SCN variety stacked with Roundup Ready (RR) to a RR variety in the problem field.
The grower was surprised by the split-planter results. Although the SCN/RR stack performed well in the SCN-infested area, the RR variety performed better overall and would produce more total bushels.
"Growers need to look across their entire fields," Tierney explains. "There are fields where the SCN/RR stack is the right choice. So many growers think that because they have a pocket of SCN in their field, they need a RR variety with an SCN stack. But to make the most money, they really have to ask how big is the SCN area. Even though they won't get very much yield in that spot, the average yield across the whole field may be better with a non-SCN variety."
Yield mapping changed the varieties and hybrids the Rollenes purchased. Today, they sit down with their Pioneer sales rep Norman Peyton and Tierney to look at yield maps, yield comparisons between different varieties and hybrids, and soil maps. Based on this information, they then determine what seed to purchase. Peyton and Tierney also help them decide what should be planted where.
The Rollenes plant a 50/50 corn-soybean rotation on their farm. Their land sits in an area with dramatically variable soil types that range from highly productive and well-drained soil to very alkaline soil with moderate SCN pressure in spots. In the past, the Rollenes had not considered the soil variability when picking varieties. Instead, they bought high-yielding varieties that produced 60 bu./acre in some areas but dropped drastically in the trouble spots.
Last season Peyton and Tierney suggested soil testing and then helped them rethink their seed choices. They found a variety that is not a SCN variety but tolerates SCN well and is good for alkaline soils. Although the variety did not produce 60-bu. yields, it produced a higher average yield across the entire field. The Rollenes did plant a high-producing variety in the more productive areas of their soybean fields.
"We never picked our beans according to soil type," Nile says. "A year ago, we sat down with Norm and Mike with a soil map and picked our varieties. The beans never looked this good. So before we ordered any beans for 2003, we sat down with them and discussed what to buy again."
In the future, growers will face more reasons to develop accurate field maps. Managing what seed should be planted where and what chemicals may be applied to it is becoming more complex. In addition, insect-resistant seed needs specific refuge areas to comply with EPA regulation. Field maps like the ones the Rollenes use will make management of these crops easier, Tierney says. And if the EPA needs to check refuges or applications, the information will be easily retrieved and simple to produce. When that happens, Nile and Nolan will be ready.

apply a rewrite rule
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS
Examples: (rewrite reverse-reverse) -- apply the rewrite rule `reverse-reverse' (rewrite (:rewrite reverse-reverse)) -- same as above (rewrite 2) -- apply the second rewrite rule, as displayed by show-rewrites rewrite -- apply the first rewrite rule, as displayed by show-rewrites (rewrite transitivity-of-< ((y 7))) -- apply the rewrite rule transitivity-of-< with the substitution that associates 7 to the ``free variable'' y (rewrite foo ((x 2) (y 3)) t) -- apply the rewrite rule foo by substituting 2 and 3 for free variables x and y, respectively, and also binding all other free variables possible by using the current context (hypotheses and governors)Replace the current subterm with a new term by applying a rewrite rule. The replacement will be done according to the information provided by the
General Form: (rewrite &optional rule-id substitution instantiate-free)
show-rewrites (
sr) command.
rule-id is a positive integer
n, then the
nth rewrite
rule as displayed by
show-rewrites is the one that is applied. If
rule-id is
nil or is not supplied, then it is treated as the number
1. Otherwise,
rule-id should be either a rune of or name of a
rewrite rule. If a name is supplied, then any rule of that name may
be used. We say more about this, and describe the other optional arguments,
Consider first the following example. Suppose that the current subterm is
(reverse (reverse y)) and that there is a rewrite rule called
reverse-reverse of the form
(implies (true-listp x) (equal (reverse (reverse x)) x)) .Then the instruction
(rewrite reverse-reverse) would cause the current
subterm to be replaced by
y and would create a new goal with conclusion
(true-listp y). An exception is that if the top-level hypotheses imply
(true-listp y) using only ``trivial reasoning''
(more on this below), then no new goal is created.
If the
rule-id argument is a number or is not supplied, then the system
will store an instruction of the form
(rewrite name ...), where
is the name of a rewrite rule; this is in order to make it easier to replay
instructions when there have been changes to the history. Actually, instead
of the name (whether the name is supplied or calculated), the system stores
the rune if there is any chance of ambiguity. (Formally, ``ambiguity''
here means that the rune being applied is of the form
(:rewrite name . index), where index is not
Speaking in general, then, a
rewrite instruction works as follows:
First, a rewrite rule is selected according to the arguments of the
rewrite instruction. The selection is made as explained under ``General
Form'' above.
Next, the left-hand side of the rule is matched with the current subterm,
i.e., a substitution
unify-subst is found such that if one instantiates
the left-hand side of the rule with
unify-subst, then one obtains the
current subterm. If this match fails, then the instruction fails.
Next, an attempt is made to relieve (discharge) the hypotheses, much as the
theorem prover relieves hypotheses except that there is no call to the
rewriter. First, the substitution
unify-subst is extended with the
substitution argument, which may bind free variables
(see free-variables). Each hypothesis of the rewrite rule is then
considered in turn, from first to last. For each hypothesis, first the
current substitution is applied, and then the system checks whether the
hypothesis is ``clearly'' true in the current context. If there are
variables in the hypotheses of the rewrite rule that are not bound by the
current substitution, then a weak attempt is made to extend that substitution
so that the hypothesis is present in the current context (see the
documentation for the proof-checker
hyps command under
proof-checker-commands), much as would be done by the theorem prover's
If in the process above there are free variables, but the proof-checker can
see how to bind them to relieve all hypotheses, then it will do so in both
show-rewrites (
sr) and
rewrite commands. But normally, if
even one hypothesis remains unrelieved, then no automatic extension of the
substitution is made. Except, if
instantiate-free is not
nil, then
that extension to the substitution is kept.
Finally, the instruction is applied as follows. The current subterm is replaced by applying the final substitution described above to the right-hand side of the selected rewrite rule. And, one new subgoal is created for each unrelieved hypothesis of the rule, whose top-level hypotheses are the governors and top-level hypotheses of the current goal and whose conclusion and current subterm are the instance, by that same final substitution, of that unrelieved hypothesis.
Note: The substitution argument should be a list whose elements
have the form
(variable term), where

Mavericks 6, Quakes 4 (10)
The Quakes (35-44 overall, 5-4 second half) were one strike away from their fifth straight victory in one-run games on Saturday, but it slipped away.
Trailing 4-3 in the ninth, the Mavericks (37-42, 5-4) loaded the bases with two outs on a single a walk and a hit batter against Brian Chambers (0-2). Then on a 2-2 pitch to Kuo Hui Lo, the ball got away from catcher Flint Wipke for a passed ball, allowing the tying run to score. But it was a crazier play than the box score indicates. With the run already in, Wipke threw down to third to try and get Leury Bonilla rounding third and the ball bounced away and apparently into the Quakes' dugout allowing a go-ahead run to score. But plate umpire David Trinidad said time had been called and sent the runners back to second and third despite protests from Mavericks manager Jim Horner. Also on the play, Quakes third baseman Larry Infante was injured and had to be replaced by Carlos Colmenares. Lo then struck out, and the game remained tied.
The Quakes had a chance to win it in the bottom of the ninth when Peter Bourjos singled with two outs and stole second, but P.J. Phillips grounded out to third to send the game into extra innings.
In the 10th, Carlos Peguero and Chris Minaker had back-to-back one-out singles against Chambers and Jamie McOwen followed with a two-run double against Jordon Towns to give the Mavericks the victory.
The Quakes had built a 4-1 lead on Abel Nieves' two-run single in the third and Mark Trumbo's 19th homer, a two-run shot to center in the fifth.
66ers 7, Lancaster 6
Drew Locke's two-run single snapped a 3-3 tie in the eighth inning and the Sixers (37-42, 6-3) won a second straight game on the road to move into sole possession of first place in the South Division.
Tommy Giles also drove in two runs for the Sixers and David Pfeiffer (1-2) won by allowing one run in four-plus innings of relief. Joe Jones allowed one earned runs in the final two innings for his second save.
Tommy Giles also had two RBI for the Sixers.

Topic: BobaFett.com Evolution Discussion
Hi everyone,
I am currently discussing with Aaron concerning the possible evolution of BFFC as a website. I already sent him my ideas in emails, but I thought it would be useful to post it here as well so YOU the members, can bring your comments and suggestions. Many heads are better than one.
*Aaron, I hope you don't mind me pasting this here, I thought it could be useful if we got everyone's participation. They have an importance with this site too.
Hi again Aaron,
Here I will try to express a few ideas that came to me.
Well first the Front Page appears to me as way too cluttered. And finding the Message Boards from there
is way too hard unless you really know your way around the site.
First thing I'd do is make the access to the Message Boards more obvious from the Front Page since it's
the main place most registered members head for. Maybe with a button or something. Not sure about
pure CSS here.
The fonts used on the Front Page, as well as on some other parts, are too many and too different.
Everything is a bit too big too. There seem to be loads and loads of text of all kinds, in all colors, it's a
bit heavy for the view.
Can you gather statistics as of how much each element is viewed and visited by users? If so, you could see what's useful and what's not.
I'd remove most of all the links and features and classify them in menus, or find another way to remove them from the immediate view. I'd keep just the essential on the Front Page. I'd make the main topic of the site clear, make the most visited sections easy to reach, and remove everything else.
Maybe if you remove most of the stuff you can think about adding a layout which is a bit more on the graphic side without overloading the view. But not too heavy. Some users don't have a fast connection and they like the loading speed of your site.
Past the Front Page, there's all those features with each their pages. I would organize them and remove everything that's not necessary, reducing the fonts to smaller and cutting things to the essential.
On the whole website, I'd definitely add a background texture like I suggested a certain time ago. It doesn't matter if it's one of mine or not, but I'd put one so the pages look a bit less like they're resting on something empty. On just the grey background it looks a bit floating.
I am not sure about the huge Search button on the Message Boards page, which doesn't bring to the same results as the Search tool on the Chat room page. This seems to me as not very coherent, or not very clear.
I saw you added a light grey line around the chatroom, I am not sure about that. The chat room itself could be a bit better. It's very basic at the moment.
Not sure about where the "Sarlacc Bar" link is leading. The whole look of this part could be reworked. Also, the Log Out command doesn't work. When I try to Log Out, I need to close the browser window and open an empty one, then erase all temporary files and cookies if my daughter wants to Log In under her own name.
The links besides the Sarlacc Bar, on the red part, are a bit big, especially on the Chat Room page. I mean "Chat room, Mailing List, Message Boards..." and so on. Why is the link to the Mailing List so important? I don't think it's something people will use that often, it should be way smaller and elsewhere.
Everything I didn't mention is fine. I think the Message Boards are mostly well set the way they are, clear, easy to browse and very functional.
If you added a graphic layout to the main page, you could make it coherent by using it again on the other pages, including the Boards. Something not too heavy, maybe just a bar on top, and a thinner one as a recall at the bottom.
Or, if you want, you could have two versions of your site, with the same content. One would have a graphic layout and for the other you would keep the actual, and users could pick following their connection speed. It would be important to keep the same color schemes and similarities in the layout, for both versions, so users are not lost when they pass from one to the other.
I think that's it for the moment. I'd like to hear your own ideas on it. If there's any point you'd like to discuss further, I'm open. Whenever you have time and you feel for it.
talk to you later
Ok, now I'd like to have everyone's comments and suggestions about what was said here. If you agree, or disagree, if you have suggestions regarding any point, please say it. Aaron is the one who'll take any final decisions, but I'm sure he'll take your comments in consideration.
Hoping to hear from everyone!

The University of Colorado Police Department will cut its three commander positions as part of a department-wide reorganization to "eliminate a redundant layer of management" and save the department more than $300,000 a year.
CU police Chief Melissa Zak released memorandum detailing the layoff plan Monday, and the positions will be cut 10 days from the posting.
In an interview Tuesday, Zak stressed the layoffs were not in any way performance-based, but said an administrative review completed last fall recommended the department trim down its executive ranks.
"We were very managerial-heavy for a 46-commissioned-personnel department," Zak said. "The decision to eliminate positions was in no way a reflection upon the commanders' performance in the organization."
One of the three commanders, Robert Axmacher, already left the department earlier this month to take a position with the Larimer County District Attorney's Office.
It is not clear yet what will happen to the other two commanders, Mark Heyart and Jason Wade, but CU officials expressed hope they might remain in the department in different positions.
Zak said while the loss of the commanders was a "difficult time" for the department, she said she thinks of it as more of a "reeingineering," as opposed to layoffs.
"It's a complete shift within the organization," Zak said.
The reorganization comes after recommendations from an administrative review requested by then-Chief Joe Roy last year.
"From time to time, campus departments will go through an administrative review to find ways to be more efficient and more effective in how they are offering services to the campus," Boulder campus spokesman Ryan Huff said. "We certainly want to be as efficient as possible, and a fresh set of eyes on how we do business is how we improve."
Splitting department
One of the recommendations from the review was to split the campus' department of public safety — which had previously included the CU Police Department and the university's Parking and Transportation Services — into two separate departments.
With Zak now solely in charge of the police department, the memo said the three commanders below the chief and her deputy chiefs were no longer needed.
"The commander-level positions provide redundancy in supervision and leadership that is already performed by the director-level positions, and their other duties will be absorbed by sergeants and corporals."
As part of the reorganization, the CU deputy chief and director of business, information and technology services division position will be restructured and renamed as the deputy chief of support services. The deputy chief of police services will be renamed the deputy chief of operations.
The department will save more than $300,000 a year from the elimination of the commanders and will use the savings to "allocate staffing and support for previously vacant positions and neglected functions."
Better communication
Zak said the department will look into reestablishing its corporal rank as a way to retain officers after spending resources training and recruiting them, and will also look to beef up its administrative support team.
Zak also hopes the elimination of the commander level will result in more direct communication in the department.
"I think that given the size of our department, we need to continuously evaluate who is doing the work and how the information from the top gets communicated to the line-level personnel," Zak said. "The more levels you have in between the directors and the line-level personnel, the more opportunities you have for misfires and miscommunications.
"I think now we will be able to better communicate within the department."

There's a war on between IT organizations and business users for control over business intelligence. In many ways, this war reflects the divide between headquarters and individual business units, with IT departments typically on the side of central administration.
Yet, a new survey of worldwide business users from Dresner Advisory Services suggests that business users are actually winning the war. Most new BI projects appear to be not only small in scope, but also favor new emerging BI vendors that have bet on either open source applications or software-as-a-service.
In both cases, the cost of acquiring these tools is well within the reach of most departments. This doesn't mean that centralized BI applications are going to fade away. But it does mean that at some point in the near future an accommodation is going to have be made between centralized and departmental BI application deployments that allows both types of BI application environments to leverage their respective strengths.

More content-themed music from the week on DiS. Click here for this week's vast and varied Spotifriday playlist.
1. Paramore - 'Playing God'
Earlier in the week we reported that Paramore are well on their way to securing a pretty damned decent chart position. Though, at time of writing, we aren't sure exactly where they'll figure. This particular track is taken from their new record brand new eyes which is, annoyingly, devoid of capitals but thankfully for fans of the band, not devoid of capital songs. Here's just one of them.
2. The Shins - 'Spilt Needles' (alternative version)
It doesn't get much bigger than James Mercer in the indie-verse. Though perhaps there is one man who comes close - Dangermouse. These two trusty soldiers are to collaborate for a new project called Broken Bells, as we reported in the week. Though you could loosely describe Dangermouse as a hip-hop producer, he's done more than his fair share of work in other realms, so it probably won't be TOO much of a surprise how it ends up. For what it's worth, the alternative version of 'Spilt Needles' vomits over the original from a great height, no?
3. Muse - 'Undisclosed Desires'
We spoke to Muse - or more specifically Dom - earlier in the week, who went through what they've been listening to lately (APC!), and talked about their tour of America with fellow stadium giants U2. This track is Muse's attempt to sound like Beyonce (as someone, somewhere, who isn't me, recently wrote).
4. Dangerdoom - 'A.T.H.F'
This particularly peculiar track is taken from Dangermouse and DOOM's project, titled The Mouse & The Mask which, you may remember, was a concept album. That concept was the [Adult Swim] series of cartoons and this particular track was a half-skit, half-BOMB around the absolutely bizarre-o 'toon Aqua Teen Hunger Force which you should, really, start watching.
5. Ghost Cauldron ft. Antipop Consortium - 'Fear'
Antipop Consortium happened to be one of the bands which Muse mentioned as gaining heavy rotation at the moment. We reviewed their new LP Fluorescent Black here and had the UK premiere of their mini-doco The Cut, which you should WELL watch. Though there were no APC tracks proper, this little get -together with Ghost Cauldron is more than worth a couple of minutes of your time.
6. Throbbing Gristle - '20 Jazz Funk Greats'
Throbbing Gristle are a band who should never be forgotten by anyone. Ever. What they've done this time to endear themselves to us is release their own version of the Buddha Box thingamy, branded by the band and called a 'Gristleism'.. This is just one of the thirteen tracks which feature on it, though, we understand, in a very different form to here.
7. Melvins - 'Lexicon Devil'
Not really sure Melvins need much of an introduction so let's not waste our time. NOISE. This week they release, and we reviewed, Chicken Switch but we've gone for a lesser-known track here, their cover of The Germs' 'Lexicon Devil'.
8. Dirty Projectors - 'The Bride'
The Dirty Frickin' Projectors get everywhere these days. Including onto Jimmy Fallon's chat show though, with performances like that, they can go wherever they like and do whatever they like, whenever they like. 'The Bride' features more trademark trio-harmonia of the female variety, as well as bird-like warblings from the front dude.
9. Vessels - 'Walking Through Walls'
Certainly one of the more minor news stories from the week, Vessels will be touring with the mighty, mighty Oceansize later in the year. Minor, but still good. Here, the post-rockers take you through some particularly bleak soundscapes via the popular method of the DRONE.
10. Amorphous Strums, Elf Power, Vic Chesnutt - 'Mystery'
Lil' Vicky Chesnutt only gone and got his album reviewed by us this week. He also featured on the super-super Constellation Records Cloudcast, something worth a listen. Here's the album opener from his project with Elf Power and the Amorphous Strums last year, the haunting slow-core tune that is 'Mystery'.
11. Will Oldham - 'Can't Take That Away'
Absolutely amazing though 99 per cent of his back catalogue may be, ol' Bonny Billy has also released and recorded some songs of a questionable quality. I include his cover of 'Thunder Road' which threatens, at times, to send you bonkers due to its badness. This cover, part of a Guilty Pleasures compilation, is, thankfully, above that standard by at least gnats knob, as we hope his new album will be.
12. J. Tillman - 'Vessels'
Another man who possesses a whisky-drenched voice is Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tillman, who has been going solo, rumours say, for quite some time now. This week we reviewed his new one, Year In The Kingdom, which is actually his second release of the year, following-up Vacilando Territory Blues, from which 'Vessels' is taken.
13. Final Fantasy - 'I'm Afraid Of Japan'
YES! Final Fantasy's new record, Heartland, is coming out early next year! Heart warming news that certainly is. In 'I'm Afraid Of Japan' we see Owen Pallett do some inspiring stuff with a violin, as usual. Pretty standard stuff then, right?
14. Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - 'Butterfly Mornings'
Not heard any of Hope Sandoval and her Warm Intentions? Nope, well this is as good a place to start as any, I guess. Downbeat, yes. Beautifully heart-tearing, also. We reviewed Hope's current record with much positivity this week, giving it 8/10.
15. Lou Barlow - 'The Right'
And now onto the triumvirate of This Week's Singles, reviewed, as ever, by the as-hard-working-as-she-is-endlessly-enthusiastic Wendy Roby. This is Lou Barlow's new single and, it's...alright, I guess.
16. Ringo Deathstarr - 'Summertime'
SINGLE OF THE WEEK ALERT! Yeah, so this one won the coveted prize of Single Of The Week, with WR describing it as "sounding like it has been recorded through several layers of wispy gauze, and is not only lush with a capital L, but a breathy, self-celebratory joy." I concur.
17. Stricken City - '5 Metres Apart'
Any song which starts off with a bassline as featured here in '5 Metres Apart' gets my attention instantly. That may because I'm a bass-freak. Still, Stricken City are certainly aware the '80s have finished but aren't bound by and don't care about this particular time constraint. And nor do I.
Click here for this week's Spotifriday playlist. Enjoy it and maybe even post your own (better ones) below. That is a challenge, by the way.

A while back, Holly Madison was asked by the producers of her show to lose weight and she replied that since she brands herself as a 'sex-symbol and not as a fitness model', she is fine the way she is. This week, Holly is in Life & Style magazine, where she reveals her unretouched bikini body to show us that she's got cellulite and she's proud of her curves.
"I'd rather be overweight and curvy than super thin with no curves,†Holly, 32, exclusively tells Life & Style at the photo shoot on Feb 21. "I'm proud of my body.â€
For good reason: Holly has a figure most women would envy. And yet, Holly isn't afraid to admit that her small stature doesn't exempt her from what haunts millions: cellulite. "I have cellulite – and had it even when I was at my absolute thinnest,†she tells Life & Style. "I'm never not going to have cellulite. People need to just accept that it's there and maybe dress accordingly or use body makeup to cope with it.â€
Still, when Peepshow's choreographer and director instructed Holly to shed weight – after she'd gained 15 pounds following her move to Sin City – she was hurt, she confesses. "Once I realized that other people were noticing that I'd packed on a few, I was embarrassed to go onstage,†she reveals. Making matters worse: her Holly's World nemesis, model Jayde Nicole. "Holly needs to lose 10 pounds of fat,†Jayde, who once cattily sent Holly a basket full of candy when she knew her co-star was dieting, recently told Life & Style.
"After moving to Vegas, I lived in a suite in Planet Hollywood for a year and ordered room service all the time,†Holly says. "I like food too much to go on some crazy diet. French fries are my favorite downfall.†Holly also says she's not willing to give up sweets but she has decided to make some healthy changes: Pilates classes and 20-minute runs, and mixing prepared meals from the Fresh Diet delivery service into her menu.
"I've always had a butt, and I want to keep it – cellulite and all. I'm not perfect, but I love my curves.†Holly tells Life & Style.
What would you prefer? To be 'overweight and curvy or super thin with no curves'?

Green-wash (green'wash', -wôsh'): verb: the act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service.
According to a recent report by Terra Choice Environmental Marketing, only 2% of "green" products on the market are legit in their claims to be environmentally friendly. That means 98% of eco goods are "Greenwashed" with eco phrases and brown paper packaging to make them appear more ecologically safe than they are.
There are plenty of good companies out there who need our support, so examine the eco packaging and read the fine print. Look for certified organic, sustainable harvest and fair-trade marks. Also, read the ingredients—If you can't pronounce it, think twice.
Eco Delivery
Stop complaining there are no organics in Japan and start having them delivered straight to your front door. Pal System provides free delivery of seasonal veggies, fish, kitchen goods, cleaning fluids and more. They have a decent selection of organic and yuki-sabai (low chemical) produce. Unfortunately, the Web site is only in Japanese so, if you don't have a partner to help you, it is the perfect excuse for an online shopping date with someone who can translate.
Eco Money
Green Investing
Back in 2005 when we started the Eco Corner, it was difficult to track down investment opportunities in sustainable business and renewable energies. Now there are so many it is hard to know which to choose, and the numbers look good. According to Business Week, in 2009 certain green mutual funds outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index by three to one.
With press like that, investors will flock, but investments may become over-valued and create a green bubble. If you are thinking of putting your savings somewhere "sustainable," now is still a good time to get in as the bubble rises, but plan to pull out in a year or so if things start getting too close to boiling. Check out the Green Chopsticks link, start researching and get in the green.
Eco Teacher
Green Your Classroom
This great Web site offers eco-oriented ESL lessons for kids and adults. A variety of lesson plans and resources are downloadable free, such as Earth Day flash cards, Ecological Food Choice worksheets, 3R recycling activities, red and "green" Christmas crafts, songs and more. Check it out. Your students will thank you. The birds and bees will too.

Charlie and Abi put a counter on 42. They wondered if they could visit all the other numbers on their 1-100 board, moving the counter using just these two operations: x2 and -5. What do you think?
Can you find the values at the vertices when you know the values on the edges?
Can you coach your rowing eight to win?

AppDNA, a company that focuses on compatibility testing for application environments, has released a beta of AppTitude Virtualization Manager for Citrix XenApp and is working with Citrix on application compatibility testing for its XenApp product line. AppTitude for Citrix XenApp makes it easier for partners and customers to deliver applications via XenApp -- either hosted on the server or streamed directly to the user's device. The beta test was first available at the Citrix Summit event in October and will conclude this month, with general availability in January 2009.
AppDNA's AppTitude 3.0 is an application compatibility testing solution to determine the optimal method of application delivery. Citrix XenApp 5 is the application virtualization solution designed to deliver Windows applications to physical and virtual desktops. It leverages the enhancements in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with 64- and 32-bit capability and supports Microsoft Windows Server 2003. With its ability to test for a number of new server-related functions, AppTitude 3.0 provides a single view of essential information on every application across the enterprise regarding suitability for virtualization, including XenApp and Microsoft Windows Terminal Services. AppTitude 3.0 also flags applications with potential interoperability and overlap issues.
"Relying solely on manual application compatibility testing is expensive and impractical, especially for large-scale virtualization deployments," said Citrix's Bill Burley. "AppDNA's AppTitude solution helps automate the process, enabling our partners and customers to improve the way they test their application portfolio for compatibility issues. Gaining valuable insight into the impact of virtualization, application and operating system changes prior to production deployments is a significant benefit."

I have linux on this little beast and now I'm trying to get wireless up. A lspci -v shows that I'm dealing with a AR9285 atheros device.
I have tried: the native kernel drivers with the latest 2.6.34-rcxx kernel. I have tried the latest svn from madwifi. I have tried the latest pull from the compat-wireless project. None of these have worked, and the only one that almost has is the native kernel drivers which gives me a phy0 atheros device in dmesg but no corresponding wlan0/whatever in ifconfig. I do however see an unattached device using iwconfig. Note that wireless does indeed work under windows 7.
Has anyone had any success with this? The atheros website links to the madwifi drivers as being the "most recent" but as anyone that uses linux knows when you put a chip in a new environment sometimes drivers don't always see it for what it is.
As a sidenote, the touchscreen does in fact work under X. I'm compiling compviz fusion to see how two finger stuff/rotation and whatever works.
05-10-2010 12:53 PM - edited 05-10-2010 12:56 PM
Have you tried using ndiswrapper? That should allow you to use your Win drivers. Also, what distro are you using? Ubuntu 10.04 has been almost flawless when it comes to wireless.
Nope, that's the next thing to try. This is on gentoo btw.
I deleted the entire module directory under /lib/modules and then reinstalled the kernel and just the modules that I needed. compat-wireless now "works" and I put this in quotes because it doesn't work with wpa. It looks like I'm going to have to look hard into iwconfig and pals to get anything complicated up on this box wrt to wireless.

Hey friend, so you know I like you right? Well that's why I am nice enough to let you in on the secret to perfect beer battered onion rings. No more will you be forced to eat onion rings which have no coating. We're talking crisp, yet airy onion rings. That's something you want isn't it? Of course it is. If you tell me you don't like onion rings, I don't know if we could be friends.
That being said, I do have one caveat. You see apparently someone over at Joy Of Kosher thought I was pretty cool, and they actually asked me to do this guest post over on their blog, so if you want the ultimate secret to perfect Beer Battered Onion Rings, you're just going to have to click on any of these shiny words. Or this one. You can also try this word…they all work. While you're over there you can also vote for me as one of the Best Kosher Food Blogs, but you're going to have to scroll all the way to the bottom, because I currently have a grand total of 2 votes (thanks mom and dad!)!
Anyway, go over there and make those onion rings, because they're really awesome, but while you're at it, and you have all that oil ready for some frying, why not make a blooming onion??? Genius, right? The batter is different than the one for the beer battered ones, and really the only thing that makes a blooming onion, is the preparation.
Take your onion, oh and we're using the sweet Vidalia types, and peel the skin off while keeping the onion whole. Then you're going to want to cut it into wedges without going all the way through the onion. Kind of like cutting a pizza, I guess…somehow…So start by making a cut from pole to pole, but don't go all the way through. Then make a cut perpendicular to that one, again avoiding cutting all the way through, and keep on going until you have wedges.
Place the onion in some ice water, and gently start teasing apart the "leaves."
Mix together 2 eggs, and set aside.
Also mix together 1 cup of flour, with whatever spices you see fit (I used, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and cayenne…but use whatever you want, you can't really go wrong). Pour enough hot water into the flour mixture that a thickish batter forms (like a thin pancake batter).
Dip the onion into the eggs, and then the flour mixture, and fry until golden-brown, about 15 minutes.
If we're making blooming onions, you got to have a dipping sauce right? So I threw together mayo (about 1/3 cup), a splash of cider vinegar, sriracha, paprika, and mustard, and mixed it all together.
Now the only issue I had with the blooming onion is it's a pain in the butt to handle, and trying to keep all the leaves together, and all that…so I thought to myself, why not screw the whole blooming onion thing, but make those leaves anyway. So for batch #2, I did the same exact thing, but this time, I cut all the way through. That way, every last part of the onion was coated with the coating, and it fried up so much nicer. Plus, it was easier to handle post-frying, and also easier to dip. So unless you're after the esthetics of a blooming onion, I say, go for the second way, it'll be much easier for everyone.
Another note – if you haven't read the beer battered onion ring post (and seriously, why haven't you yet?…oh you're not sure where the actual post is?? Well why didn't you say so…click here), the onions were soaked in a salt-water type of soak (we used beer in that recipe, but any salt water solution will work) to pull out the moisture from the onions, which if you use sweet onions, will have a lot of moisture so it will really benefit from the soak, which I didn't do, and the final product did end up a little mushier than I wanted, and I think now's a good time to end this extremely long run on sentence, no?
I'd love to hear what you're planning on making for your superbowl party.
Blooming Onion
- 2 large Vidalia onions
- 3 cups oil (or enough to cover the onion)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Cayenne Pepper
- Hot water
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (or any type of hot sauce)
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- Hot paprika
- Mustard powder
- In a heavy bottom pot, heat up the oil over high heat (if using a thermometer, you want it to register about 350 before frying…if you don't have a thermometer, you can either use a popcorn kernel which pops around 350, or you can use a wooden chopstick, and it should bubble around the chopstick when the oil is hot enough)
- Peel the outer layer of skin on the onion while keeping the onion whole. Then to make the blooming onion, cut through the onion, but not all the way through, and make wedges by cutting perpendicular to it, and continue going until you have a bunch of wedges as illustrated above. Alternatively, you can make the blooming onion by just making the "leaves," by cutting all the way through.
- If you want, and I didn't do this, but I recommend it, salt the onions after you cut them, and let them sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the moisture to come out of the onions
- Mix together the eggs and set aside
- Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and cayenne, and add enough hot water to form a thin-ish batter
- Dunk the onion in the egg, and then the flour mixture, and when the oil's ready fry the onion until golden brown, about 13-15 minutes
- While the onion's frying, make the dipping sauce – Combine the mayo, sriracha, vinegar, paprika and mustard and mix to combine

One of the things I like about instagram is the way it is a giant feed of snapshots - photos that wouldn't otherwise be taken. That is one of my favorite types of photography. And I like it when I remember to take shots like that with something other than my crappy iPhone camera.
- another thing I really love about instagram is how much time shows through. I do often photograph things and instagram them later, but one of the beauties is seeing time pass: Like everybody having morning coffee - or photographing the beautiful sunset. Or realizing that somewhere on the other side of the world, somebody is having their morning coffee as you are off to bed. Twitter does some of the same. It makes me aware of the time differences and the flow of the day going around the world. Getting sidetracked here. This is just a little post of snapshots.
▶ Mariela Ramos: Thank you!
▶ Kira: Kun naturligt at det går op og ned
▶ kleurendurf: I am very skeptical of Facebook, but I am willing to wait and see what is going to happen. Especially since it is mostly snapshots of coffee i post
▶ when skies are grey: I know the feeling - sometimes it is great to actually visit the blog! you get so much extra from that
▶ Linn Maria: You too!!!!
▶ Gabrielle: thank you so much!

Despite the USMNT's devastating World Cup loss to Belgium in Tuesday's World Cup knockout round, goalkeeper Tim Howard was named the 'man of the match' and is being hailed an American hero.
Howard had 16 saves, the most during a World Cup game in 50 years, and he's only the third player to win man of the match while on a losing team. Someone even temporarily changed the Wikipedia entry for U.S. Secretary of Defense to 'Tim Howard'. We think it should have stayed up a bit longer.
So it's really no surprise the social media world exploded after his stellar performance. Here are the top eleven #ThingsTimHowardCouldSave we found on Twitter.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Female Employee Paid Less Than Male, Terminated After She Complained, Federal Agency Charged
CLEVELAND — Hyundai Ideal Electric Company located in Mansfield, Ohio, violated federal laws by paying a female employee less than a male employee for performing equal work and then firing her after she complained about the disparity, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division (Case: 1:10-cv-01882), Tabatha Wagner, an experienced female drafter, began her employment with the company in August 1, 2007, in the position of Design Drafter and was paid a salary less than that of a similarly situated male who was hired only months later. The lawsuit states that Wagner learned of the disparity and complained to Jon Shearer, the company's Human Resources Manger on November 11, 2008. He subsequently terminated her employment on the next day, November 12, 2008.
Such alleged unequal pay, wage discrimination and retaliation violate the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed its lawsuit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC seeks monetary relief, an order requiring the company to implement new policies and practices to prevent discrimination, training on anti-discrimination laws, posting of notices at the worksite, and other injunctive relief.
Debra Lawrence, Regional Attorney for the Philadelphia District stated, "This case is an example that the wage gap is alive and well in America, with the typical full-time female worker making 77 cents for every dollar earned by her male counterpart. Employers should take note that the EEOC will not tolerate discriminatory pay practices."
According to its web site (www.hyundaiideal.com), Hyundai Ideal Electric Co. is the market leader in medium power generators for gas, steam and hydro turbines, and diesel engines. The Mansfield facility is the company's home office.
Over the last three fiscal years, the EEOC has seen a 30% increase in charges of wage discrimination based on sex. Through the administrative enforcement process alone, the EEOC obtained about $19 million in relief for victims of wage discrimination in FY 2009. The Commission is currently litigating 14 cases that include allegations of sex-based wage discrimination.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Puerto Rican/Latino Studies: Philosophy and Teaching Practice
The Puerto Rican/Latino Studies faculty has responded to the increasing number of students enrolling in Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies without the life experience and personal involvement for studying the subject matters (as was common several years ago) by developing courses and teaching methods to help students discover what is universally significant in the subject matter and facilitate education, in addition to the earning of credits. The comparative approach that inspired the department's establishment provided an effective way of enabling students to understand the forces that brought about racism and colonization. Comparing knowledge about peoples having a common experience in different times and places has enabled students with little or no previous exposure to comprehend abstract patterns and concepts, such as prejudice, segregation, acculturation, and marginality.
With inspiration from Eugenio María de Hostos, Pedro Albizu Campos and similar thinkers, theoretical paradigms were developed for teaching the fundamentals of culture, social studies, history and literature from Puerto Rican Studies in introductory courses. Some 5,000 students have been prepared for more advanced courses by studying the Puerto Rican experience within the context of two basic comparative paradigms from the Latin American experience in relation to the United States:
A. the causes and effects of structurally induced migration:
AFPL 102: Latino Communities in New York City
B. the social effects of military and political dominance:
AFPL 103: Conquered Peoples in America
This paradigm involved comparisons between the colonization and racism from previous conquest by Spain with the situation of groups made part of the United States by war and occupation, such as Native Americans, Hawaiians, Chicanos, and Filipinos.
