Involuntary donation: Let NHPTV stand on its own
The state House of Representatives voted 223-104 on Wednesday to repeal a state restriction on the funding of New Hampshire Public Television. This bill perfectly reflects the distorted priorities of the House majority.
In 2011, the Republican-led House zeroed out funding for NHPTV, saying it could survive on voluntary donations alone. Despite cries that the station would vanish, it is still here.
House Bill 1251 would have appropriated $2.7 million to the University System of New Hampshire, to be spent on NHPTV. It was amended to strip the money but allow USNH or other state agencies to fund NHPTV directly. Current law requires any appropriation for NHPTV to be made directly to the station by legislators through the state budget.
How is funding NHPTV possibly a state priority? The Attorney General's office has a backlog of cases, including murder and possible police brutality, to investigate. The court system continues to bear a heavy workload. But we have millions to spend on a TV station so Downton Abbey fans won't miss an episode? What a stunning display of bad judgment.

Jordan court rejects bail for militant cleric
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — A Jordanian prosecutor says the country's military court has refused a bail request by a radical Muslim preacher who was deported from Britain to be retried at home on terrorism charges.
The 53-year-old preacher was convicted in absentia of conspiring to carry out terrorist attacks against Israelis, Americans and other Westerners in Jordan in two alleged foiled plots in 1999 and 2000, but is receiving a new trial. He was deported from Britain to Jordan three weeks ago.
Abu Qatada's lawyer, Tayseer Thiab, confirmed that the court rejected bail.
The prosecutor, who cannot be identified under court regulations, declined to elaborate on Sunday's decision.
Suspects accused of serious crimes such as terrorism are rarely granted bail.

Commissioners, county attorney spar over access to jail probe
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
— County commissioners say they are frustrated about not being given full access to a criminal investigation in the wake of a county jail employee being charged with giving her husband $12,000 in overtime and other pay for shifts he never worked.
On Tuesday, the Rockingham County Attorney's office delivered a report to county commissioners providing some details from their investigation into Ann Marie Nelson, 55, of Chester, who is charged with overpaying her husband, Keith, who worked as a corrections officer at the Rockingham County jail.
County Commissioner Kevin Coyle said that the commission sent a letter to the county attorney's office a week ago, requesting the records to the investigation as part of an effort to determine if any new measures need to be taken to shore up accounting practices.
"I think we are hamstrung by not having the investigation, and by not knowing all we need to know," Coyle said on Tuesday.
The sheriff's department and county attorney's office are in the process of a wider audit, delving into years' worth of payroll records of current and former employees.
County Attorney James Reams said prior to the report, his office has provided some information to county commissioners. The report was delivered to Commissioner Chairwoman Katharin Pratt on Tuesday, Reams said.
He said that he is prohibited from sharing all the facts of the case with commissioners at this stage due to the state's Rules of Professional Conduct, which bars lawyers from making comments about a person under investigation.
"One of our broader concerns is to make sure (Nelson) gets a fair trial," Reams said.
Nelson remains free on bail, and faces up to 7 ½ to 15 years in state prison if she is convicted.
Nelson's husband, Keith, has not been charged in the case.
Reams said his office has not yet determined whether anyone else will face criminal charges.
He said that so far the investigation has showed that policies at the jail regarding overtime were not followed.
"We know now that safeguards were ignored," Reams said.
Indictments say Nelson funneled money from last July until about May 15.
"We are going backwards from there to see when it all went off the rails," Reams said.
Coyle said he disagreed with Reams' assessment about safeguards being ignored.
"Unfortunately, what they would do is they would go to any supervisor to sign off (on overtime)," Coyle said. "That's not the way it's supposed to work."
Jail employees were supposed to be using the supervisor who approved the overtime to sign off on it, said Coyle.
He said that commissioners have since spoken to jail staff to ensure policies about overtime are being followed closely.
Coyle also noted that the investigation was prompted by a jail administrator flagging questionable paperwork in May.
"She got caught because of the checks and balances," Coyle said, referring to Nelson.
Reams said that his office hopes to complete the probe against Nelson within the next 60 days, but that a broader audit encompassing all payroll records that are available will continue.

Seems to be a lot going on in the life of Kate Gosselin these days.
First comes confirmation from the TLC network that Kate will be appearing on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's upcoming reality show, titled Sarah Palin's Alaska. This is not surprising as the Kate Plus Eight mom was photographed visiting Alaska two weeks ago with her eight kids in tow.
"The Palins graciously shared their Alaska with the Gosselin family and that camping trip will be part of an upcoming episode," TLC president and general manager Eileen O'Neill said.
The series, featuring the former Alaska Governor and various members of her family and an array of Alaskans all across the state, will premiere Sunday, Nov. 14 at 9 p.m. Kate will be appearing on the premiere episode. It is said that Sarah took Kate and her kids camping during their Alaska visit. No word yet on if Kate was able to see Russia during her time in Alaska.
In other Kate news, E! News broke the story yesterday that Kate will be attending the Emmy Awards on Aug. 29. E! reports Kate will appear at the start of the show in a comedic segment with host Jimmy Fallon as well as "some of today's biggest and brightest television stars."

Sea level rise
must also be considered as a way in which human-caused climate change can impact Atlantic hurricane climate–or at least the impacts of the hurricanes at the coast. The vulnerability of coastal regions to storm-surge flooding is expected to increase with future sea-level rise and coastal development, although this vulnerability will also depend upon future storm characteristics, as discussed above. All else equal, tropical cyclone surge levels should increase with sea level rise. There are large ranges in the 21st century projections for both Atlantic hurricane characteristics and for the magnitude of regional sea level rise along the U.S. coastlines. However, according to the
Zales Ladies ID Bracelet with Heart Dangle Charm in Stainless Steel with Black IP 75 dC1jBpVc
, the average rate of global sea level rise over the 21st Century will very likely exceed that observed during 1971-2010 for a range of future emission scenarios.
In summary, neither our model projections for the 21st century nor our analyses of trends in Atlantic hurricane and tropical storm counts over the past 120+ yr support the notion that greenhouse gas-induced warming leads to large increases in either tropical storm or overall hurricane numbers in the Atlantic. While one of our modeling studies projects a large (~100%) increase in Atlantic category 4-5 hurricanes over the 21st century, we estimate that such an increase would not be detectable until the latter half of the century, and we still have only low confidence that such an increase will occur in the Atlantic basin, based on an updated survey of subsequent modeling studies by our and other groups.
Therefore, we conclude that despite statistical correlations between SST and Atlantic hurricane activity in recent decades, it is premature to conclude that human activity–and particularly greenhouse warming–has already caused a detectable change in Atlantic hurricane activity. ("Detectable" here means the change is large enough to be distinguishable from the variability due to natural causes.) However, human activity may have already caused some some changes that are not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of the changes or observation limitations, or are not yet confidently modeled (e.g., aerosol effects on regional climate).
We also conclude that it is likely that climate warming will cause Atlantic hurricanes in the coming century have higher rainfall rates than present-day hurricanes, and medium confidence that they will be more intense (higher peak winds and lower central pressures) on average. In our view, it is uncertain how the annual number of Atlantic tropical storms will change over the 21st century. All else equal, tropical cyclone surge levels should increase with sea level rise as projected for example by IPCC AR5 . These assessment statements are intended to apply to climate warming of the type projected for the 21st century by prototype IPCC mid-range warming scenarios, such as A1B or RCP4.5.
The relatively conservative confidence levels attached to our tropical cyclone projections, and the lack of a claim of detectable anthropogenic influence on tropical cyclones at this time contrasts with the situation for other climate metrics, such as global mean temperature. In the case of global mean surface temperature, the IPCC AR5 presents a strong body of scientific evidence that most of the global warming observed over the past half century is very likely due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
The main focus of this web page is on Atlantic hurricane activity and global warming. However, an important question concerns whether global warming has or will substantially affect tropical cyclone activity in other basins.

If I could be a mangaka (I'm an awful artist!),
I would probably go for an action, adventure, romance type deal.
Dilly Bisket!
I remember making a manga about a female heroine who took care of all of her siblings by day and threw bricks at villains by night.
I was 12.
Hobby: Celebrity Book Marks :)
Starting to make my own manga at 12. Though I only drew out the characters. But I wanted to draw a manga like Fairy Tail, where characters uses magic to battle.
✽ .::: Back To My Busy Life :::. ✽
i would like to make a crossover manga between magical girl lyrical nanoha and pretty cure.
interesting shows. peace out.
I'm actually about to start working on one. It's a historical fiction (sort of), romance, drama, and a small amount of action and psycological (but no one goes insane). It's going to be a shojo manga. I would like to work on a yaoi.
In a mood to watch as many anime as I can!! :D
I would probably make all my manga shounen, but each would would have some different themes like sci-fi, samurai, western, mafia, and assassins.
i like fantasy romance kinda things. for example kamisama kiss, absolute boyfriend, and Inu boku SS. So I would probably try to make a manga like that but with a bit of comedy and action or suspense to it. and most likely reverse harem
sipping at my sanity, drowning in monotony
Action adventure with a bit of romance....
Female character mustn't be your standard tsundere...!!!!!
If "Nobody" is indestructible...Then I'm "Nobody"....!!!
I like doing Angels and Demons work. But I've got a whole book full of ideas and stories that come up in my head and I write them down. I tend to look at the stories and think they can be successful or even good games, but obviously I'm bound to say that, its what other people think of my work. But my personal desires come first, others second in the arts. I do it for self enjoyment but hope to go commercial one day.
If I were a mangaka, probably: Historical, Romance, Comedy, Gender Bender, Tragedy, Slice of Life, Fantasy, Adventure & YAOIIIIIIII!!!
Enjoy every daily, little things that life has to offer cause life is too short
Something with a bizarre and interesting premise, like Komi Naoshi's one shots (I loved, loved, LOVED Apple & Island way more than I could ever love Nisekoi. ;-; Sadly, what I'd prefer to see more of isn't what sells)
Or something with a lot of atmosphere, like Princess Tutu or Nakamura Asumiko's stories, or Necromancer, where when you read or watch them, you feel completely immersed in their world, and you're cut off from your own for a little while.
Or something with a really strong, well built story and world, and characters, like Magi or Full Metal Alchemist. Everything falls into place. You never question it when a new place or character is brought up, because they fit in so well. To create such a complete world, that takes skill and a lot of thought.
Or maybe something like One Piece, where the world is so vast and malleable, you simply can't question it, because it's so unexplored.
And I'd want either a journey, or a really bizarre setting. If you're stuck with the same setting, especially school settings, it's kind of suffocating.
i like to make a manga that's is full full of action and action that it
Welcome,ladies and gentlemen.Let us play a game !!!
Currently writing a light novel series based loosely on the Deltron 3030 album. Think more Air Gear mixed with DJ's and MC's set in a post-apocalyptic New York battling for musical supremacy using various sonic techniques and such. I wish I could draw because the images I see in my head when I write would be much more amazing than LOLWORDSWORDSWORDS!

CORRECTING and REPLACING Madden NFL Franchise Celebrates its Silver Anniversary with All-New Madden NFL 25 this August
By: Business Wire
Feb. 1, 2013 12:40 PM
Third graph, third sentence of release should read:... fans can tune into a special edition of SportsNation at 4:00pm EST on ESPN2 for the live unveil of the brackets (sted... fans can tune into a special edition of SportsNation at 6:00pm EST on ESPN2 for the live unveil of the brackets).
The corrected release reads:
The Old School and the New School Face Off in New Cover Vote across ESPN Platforms and SportsNation Beginning Monday, March 11
North America's longest-running sports video game franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, as Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) has officially announced Madden NFL 25, launching on August 27. This year's game will feature the Madden NFL 25 name when it launches in August, plus a new fan Cover Vote will pit the NFL's greatest legends against today's hottest stars.
"There's no better way to celebrate and mark the culmination of 25 years of innovation than by naming this year's game Madden NFL 25," said Cam Weber, General Manager of American Football for EA SPORTS. "This year's game will push the boundaries with gameplay and feature innovations that will lay a very strong foundation for the next 25 years of this storied franchise."
The past and the future collide in the newest Madden NFL Cover Vote across ESPN platforms and SportsNation, which will see the old school take on the new school for the historically-significant cover. A bracket of 32 all-time NFL greats will go head-to-head against one another, as will 32 modern NFL superstars, with the winners of each bracket facing off in the final round. Voting will start on Monday, March 11 on ESPN.com/MaddenVote, and fans can tune into a special edition of SportsNation at 4:00pm EST on ESPN2 for the live unveil of the brackets. Last year, fans cast 20 million votes to name Calvin Johnson, Jr. as the cover athlete of Madden NFL 13 during a special reveal show of SportsNation live from Times Square in New York City.
"It's great to be back with another year of the award-winning Madden NFL Cover Vote for a brand-new game that will be the deepest and most innovative in the history of the franchise when it launches in August," said Anthony Stevenson, Senior Director of Marketing at EA SPORTS. "This year we're posing the ultimate question of who's more deserving; one of the NFL's all-time greats or one of today's hottest players?"
"This is the third consecutive year EA SPORTS and ESPN have collaborated on the Madden NFL Cover Vote in its current iteration," added Raphael Poplock, Vice President of Games and Partnerships for ESPN. "Each year has brought record-setting results as NFL fans come out in droves to support their favorite players and teams, and by going big this year with legends facing off against the league's current leaders, needless to say it will be an interesting vote with much debate and discussion."
"SportsNation is built around social engagement and topics our young audience cares about, so the Madden NFL Cover Vote is a great fit for us," said Jamie Horowitz, Vice President of Original Programming and Production for ESPN.

TSSJS roundupFriday, March 20th, 2009
It's the last day of TSSJS here in Las Vegas and it's been a really successful and fun conference so far. The skill level of the attendees is great, meaning a lot of meaningful conversations on the industry and trends in development. On Wednesday, our CEO Steve Montal gave a quick 5 minute overview of our current and upcoming technologies like Resin 4 with Java CanDI and cloud support as well as Quercus. There was a lot to pack in, but even this short speech garnered us a lot of attention. We also handed out our Resin 4 whitepaper which I think was well-received.
Thursday was a particularly interesting day because of talks at the beginning and end. Rod Johnson started out with a talk on Spring, where he (once again) declared JavaEE unnecessary and overly complicated. He claimed that an acquisition of Sun by IBM would be meaningless to developers, because nobody cares what they do anyway. It was a bit controversial to say the least. The part that irked me the most was that he claimed that SpringSource is the only independent application server vendor left… Caucho has been around for 10 years and is going strong, even in this economy. We predate Tomcat and SpringSource, so I think Rod was mistaken on this point.
At the end of the day, Reza Rahman lead a discussion of the direction and progress of JavaEE 6. We're targeting the Web Profile and we're participating in the JSR-299 (Java CanDI) expert group, so naturally we were interested in the community's opinion of the new standard. There was an interesting debate on the contents of the Web Profile, with a lot people arguing for a profile that does not include a view technology. Reza explained that the view of the committee was that a JavaEE certified project needs to be able to build a complete application out of the box without add-ons, yet not prevent add-ons. The Web Profile is targeted at the 80% of developers who don't need the extra bells and whistles of the full profile.
It turns out that the only thing holding up JavaEE 6 is the debate over Java CanDI and whether it should be included. There are not a lot of complaints about the technology itself, but rather its scope. What I found interesting is that while this topic seemed to be very contentious within the JEE 6 EG, the attendees of this session just wanted Java CanDI in. Its utility was apparent to them and they didn't care about the political debate, they just want it in. Of course, that's just what I heard…
Update: If you want the Java EE 6 spec committee to include Java CanDI (aka JCDI, aka JSR-299), let them know at firstname.lastname@example.com

April 2012 Pregnant women who received financial incentives to refrain from smoking during late pregnancy were more successful at remaining abstinent and less likely to have babies with low birth weight, according to data from three trials.
July 2012 NIDA researchers have developed a computer program that motivates and encourages treatment-seeking when an individual is in a primary care physician's waiting room. Users of the program, called Video Doctor, enter information on a portable device and receive feedback about health risks related to their drug abuse, along with advice, immediately prior to seeing their physician.
July 2012 Towns that implemented a drug abuse prevention program called Communities That Care will see a return of $5.30 for each $1 they invested during the 5-year trial of the intervention, according to a cost-benefit analysis. The estimate is based on reductions in smoking and delinquency observed during the fourth year of the study among eighth-graders and the projected total costs of smoking, delinquency, and crime avoided over the lifetimes of study participants.
July 2012 Ninety percent of privately funded substance abuse treatment programs in the United States offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)...
July 2012 Intensive case management was more effective in increasing treatment engagement and reducing alcohol consumption among depressed participants than among those who were not depressed, according to a followup analysis of a substance abuse treatment study involving women on welfare.
November 2012 The NIDA-supported Good Behavior Game recently was honored with the 2012 Mentor International Best Practice Award. The game, which focuses on reducing disruptive behaviors in elementary school classrooms, has been shown to prevent drug abuse and other problems in adolescence and young adulthood.
January 2013 NIDA-funded researchers have gathered evidence that brief interventions can help adolescents move away from drug use. In a clinical trial, middle and high school students markedly reduced their substance use following two 60-minute sessions that combined motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.
February 2013 Teens who participated in the intervention Strong African American Families‒Teen at age 16 reported fewer conduct problems and depressive symptoms and less substance abuse at age 17‒18, compared to peers exposed to a control intervention.
August 2014 Clinicians associated with the Veterans Administration looked more favorably upon contingency management after attending training workshops on the use of the intervention. Despite being highly effective at decreasing drug use, contingency management is one of the least used among proven substance abuse treatments.
December 2014 Extending the prevention interventions to target risk factors through the high school years could strengthen effects on substance use and delinquent behaviors on the cusp of adulthood.

My Hannah Ruth just turned 3 months old.
When she was born (C-section) she had to stay in the hospital an extra 2 days because she wasn't gaining weight (duh! My milk wasn't in) and became dehydrated. We had to supplement with formula for the first 2 weeks only and she's been exclusively breastfed since.
She was born 7lb 10oz. She's gained slowly but steadily until 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago she was 10lb 15.5oz. Last week she was 10lb 15oz. Today she is 10lb 14.5oz.
She eats until satisfied; she never cries. I nurse on demand whenever she starts acting remotely hungry. We always finish one side before moving on to the next. I have over 100oz. of EBM in the freezer so I know it's not a supply issue (well, I don't THINK it is, anyway).
There's no way we could get her to drink more to supplement after she nurses; she already spits up AT LEAST 6x after a feeding. She constantly smells like yogurt she spits up so much. Today she napped for 2.5 hours after eating and then spit up 3x as soon as she woke up. What? Shouldn't that have been digested?
She's been sleeping through the night since she was 4 weeks old.
She also started crawling about 2 weeks ago and she's ALL OVER the place! Could she just be burning too many calories?
I don't know if I should call the pediatrician or not. She's not due for a well visit until late September (4 month visit). I know he'll just suggest formula What do I do to actually SOLVE this problem?

Rated 5 out of 5 by cocoscho from Perfect Fit, Recommend the Matching Crop Jacket I see what Laurie89 is saying about the new 77% nylon pants. The grey/white leopard pair I bought comes above my belly button and the cute belt is covered by my exercise shirts. However, this candy cane stripe pair fits perfectly hitting about an inch below my belly button and with the perfect inseam length. There must just be variation in the pattern cutting. Either way, both fit great and I won't have to pull the leopard ones up so high once I get them hemmed. I bought the matching crop jacket with these stripped pants to show off the waistband and I love the combination! The pants are so cute! Don't worry. It does not look too much like candy cane because the color is a plum/wine and not at all pink. I am 5'6" and 138 lbs. I bought the medium.

Rated 4 out of 5 by laurie89 from Bebe has done it again - super cute pants! Loved these pants, the striped pattern is adorable. The color is dark magenta. The only thing I can't seem to figure out - the top is so long it covers up the top of the pant which is so cute I hate to cover it up. However I do prefer longer style tops. Hmmm, oh well, I still love the outfit & would buy it again!

We recently spoke to Pat Henry about the benefits of yoga. It's good for mind, body and strength and flexibility. But one type of yoga that he was not enthusiastic about was Bikram or hot yoga. Pat said it was like doing a PE class.
Well, we had a huge response from Bikram yoga enthusiasts and practitioners who did not agree one bit with what Pat Henry had to say.
Pat Henry, personal trainer, and Anne Leonard, Director, Bikram Yoga Dublin, discuss on air the pros and cons of the Bikram Yoga method.
With celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow advocating a no sugar diet, a zero sugar policy is beginning to gain momentum. On average we consume 238 teaspoons of sugar per week – often without knowing it - and there can be many health problems linked to an over consumption of sugar. David Gillespie, author of Sweet Poison and consultant dietician Sarah Keogh discuss.
Croatia is very much in the news this week becoming the 28th member of the European Union. Eoghan Corry, Editor, Travel Extra, has more information:
The country beyond the Dalmatian coast has lots more that is interesting: Istria in the north is accessed through northern Italy or flights to Zadar direct from Ryanair.
Dubrovnik, one of the iconic tourism brands, cruise ship port, has direct flights from Aer Lingus (it is overcrowded, what I call stadium tourism).
Concorde Travel also organise charters.
Also, Pat Muldowney, whose son Myles got married yesterday in Croatia, gives a flavour of the country.

DataLogix is a leading provider of marketing data gathering and analysis solutions. Its innovative products and services match customer advertising to targets with the highest return rates. To keep its edge, it had to provide increasingly rich capabilities over ever-growing amounts of data.
The Challenge
DataLogix is a leading provider of marketing data gathering and analysis solutions. Its innovative products and services match customer advertising to targets with the highest return rates. To keep its edge, it had to provide increasingly rich capabilities over ever-growing amounts of data. This presented its data center with the following challenges:
The Solution
Always looking to stay on top of the game, DataLogix added some Fusion ioMemoryTM ioDrive® cards to its web application and data warehousing databases. The results were better than it had hoped.
Powering Web Databases to Meet Demanding SLAs
Minimizing its web application's response time was a critical factor in supporting DataLogix's future growth. Its customers required complex real-time analysis of end- users' browsing habits without perceptibly slowing page-load times. The challenge was finding a scalable and cost-effective solution that allowed the company to maintain low latency levels over a growing MySQL database, while also supporting increasingly dynamic web functionality.
As Dave McCabe, director of data center operations discovered, the SanDisk Fusion ioMemory solutions are a breed apart when it comes to reducing application latency. DataLogix's existing system's 8-disk arrays were barely meeting its SLA of 50 millisecond latencies. Replacing the disk arrays with an ioDrive card reduced latency to just 12 milliseconds.
The reduced latency offered the following benefits:
Dave told us, "A single ioDrive card in each server meets our existing performance needs. But our rapid growth requires massive scalability. The Fusion ioMemory solution's linear scaling allows us to double our performance capabilities with a single card. Consequently, we purchased two cards for each server and expect this to deliver the highest levels of performance for 24 months of expected growth.
With the disk drive upgrades we were looking at, we would be upgrading again in just six months."
A Smarter Oracle RAC Data Warehouse
In addition to improving its real-time Internet application performance, DataLogix also wanted to improve the sophisticated data mining and analysis services it provided to online and direct-mail customers. Dave knew that improving query response times was key to this effort. It would allow the application to process more jobs and more complex queries in less time.
Dave redesigned the data warehouse architecture to store I/O intensive log files and several large, frequently accessed tables with tracking data on the drives. The result was SAN-like performance without the expensive scale out.
Fusion ioMemory reduced the time it took to complete a set of queries against a heavily-used table from two hours to fewer than three minutes—an incredible 40x improvement.
"With Fusion ioMemory installed in our data warehouse, jobs process around six times faster, and we no longer have to worry about jobs completing on time. We also have plenty of performance headroom as queries grow in complexity and the warehouse increases in size," Dave said.
Dave McCabe,
Director of Data Center Operations, DataLogix
The Smart Buy
DataLogix investigated many other solutions and determined SanDisk offered the best overall value on the market.
Dave said, "The Fusion ioMemory solutions were clearly the best value. Our growth rate is so high that we outgrew our spinning disk solutions every six months. We investigated other PCI Express form factor devices, but all of these required a significantly higher capital investment."
Easy and Flexible Implementation
Another benefit the Fusion ioMemory solution offered over alternatives was easy installation and implementation. In fact, they were so easy to implement that DataLogix's colocation facility felt comfortable installing the drives themselves.
Dave told us, "We can just ship the ioDrive cards to our colocation and they will install them. It's not like sending them a SAN they have to modify their environment for; they are just putting a card in a server."
Once its colocation facility installed the ioDrive cards, DataLogix could easily administer them remotely.
Dave said, "We can use software to easily break or rebuild RAIDs, which provides a lot of flexibility. While our initial requirements for the data warehouse called for just one ioDrive card in each Oracle server, we added another so we could dynamically flip-flop cards to do live updates. We soon discovered that it was extremely easy to configure the cards and the databases, and we didn't need the redundancy. Changing the configuration to RAID for capacity was fast and easy."
SAN-Based System
Fusion ioMemory Powered System
Implementing Fusion ioMemory gave DataLogix the following benefits:
DataLogix is thrilled with its purchase and has definite plans for more purchases as it grows. Dave said, "The ioDrive cards' high performance density, combined with their linear, incremental scaling capabilities definitely made them the best choice for the long term."

Or, Forgiveness Part I
The rumor was that the woman my father married used to be a prostitute. "Look her up," someone apparently said, giving father a note as he prepared to leave my mother at home and fly to New York. "She'll show you a good time." Wink, wink.
I couldn't care less about race, class, or social status. And anyway, I wonder now about the word "prostitute." If the person speaking English also speaks Yoruba, perhaps they are referring to another meaning. The Yoruba translation for prostitute is ashewo which also means woman with loose morals. Maybe my father's set just didn't like her.
My prejudices generally lie around things like pronouncing nuclear NUKE-U-LAR. I also never got over the guy who put his fork and his knife in his mouth at dinner. I probably didn't look too good myself as my mouth fell open with food in it! Continue reading

Residents of Nute Road welcomed the opening of the new "temporary" bridge which replaces the span which had been closed in August due to deterioration.
The new span is deemed "temporary" but is expected to serve for up to 15 years, when a major rebuild is planned. The town has had to pay the entire bill for this temporary fix (over $100,000) but it is anticipated that the cost of the bridge-to-be will be shared with the state on an 80/20 basis. It will hardly seem to be a bargain, however, since the bridge-to-be is estimated to cost about $500,000 (in today's dollars).
The selectmen were pleased to receive favorable comments from the residents who live near the bridge, stating that "there couldn't have been a better crew for the job."
On Nov. 16 Peter Chapel of the New Hampshire Local Government Center was on hand to explain the various health plans available for town employees through the NHLGC.
Then Eric Fiegenbaum, who keeps track of the computers in the town offices, came in to discuss the various types of computer back-up systems available. The question of the day was:"How adequately are we protected now?" Fiegenbaum will return with his survey results.
The selectmen appreciated receiving a copy of the letter sent by Cherry Lane residents Ruth and Bert Staugaard to the fire and police departments. Not having power during Superstorm Sandy, the Staugaards couldn't keep a battery needed for medical purposes on line; a call to the fire and police departments solved the nproblem.
From ribbons and medals belonging to a Vice Chairman of the Republican National Committee fom 1936 to 1960 to infant clothing worn by a late resident, items from Madbury attics caught the attention of those attending the Madbury Historical Society meeting on Nov. 13.
And to give this display a modern twist toward the Antiques Roadshow, Dover auctioneer Devin Moisan was on hand to appraise these treasures.
There was micro-mosaic jewelry from the era of the Grand Tour, now reserved as "wedding Jewelry"; a cigar holder made from a cow horn; books printed in 1832 and 1854; a Victorian toy highchair, ironing board and doll house furniture; a mid-19th century miniature oil lantern; vases; Civil War canteens; a chronometer; stoneware jugs; a framed crewel embroidery, tree-of-life motif.
Moisan carefully checked the antiques and proferred cautious estimates of value.
During the business meeting, Wally and Janet Dunham and Carolyn Ramsbotham wer elected to serve three years on the Board of Directors and Liz Burbank was re-elected treasurer, for three years. Cathy Acerra will serve as corresponding secretary.
Society president Chuck Goss announced that a tour of Kingman Farm will take place on Dec. 9 at 10 a.m.
On Nov. 29, the final presentation in the series on nitrogen issues in Great Bay will have Durham's town engineer, David Cedarholm, explaining the proposal which Durham and the University of New Hampshire are presenting to the EPA to comply with federal wastewater discharge requirements.
This series is being sponsored by the Oyster River Local Advisory Committee and the Oyster River Watershed Association. All are welcome to attend, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Madbury Town Hall.
On Dec. 1, two presentations of the musical "Las Posadas" will take place at the Madbury Church, at 4 and 7 p.m. This musical is an adaptation of Tomie DePaoli's children's book, about Joseph searching for a place in an inn.
The fee is $5 per person; reservations may be made by calling 742-9380. Seating is limited to 70.
On Dec 2, Ian and Melissa Walker will host a carol sing at their home on Perkins Road from 5 to 6 p.m. The group, "Ear Reverence," will lead the sing. All are welcome.
On Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. everyone is invited to the Madbury Public Library for the drawing of the winning ticket for the quilt which the Quilters Group made to benefit the library. There will be cider and cookies and one's last opportunity to purchase tickets, which are $1 each or 6 for $5 and available whenever the library is open.
Nute Road sees new 'temporary' bridge
Residents of Nute Road welcomed the opening of the new "temporary" bridge which replaces the span which had been closed in August due to deterioration.

Quote from: William on October 28, 2013, 07:17:38 PMNo you are missing the point. And fecundity is not a "response".Actually, it is a response to environmental pressures. The fecundity of a species tends to change depending on the kind of pressure a species faces; if food is short, organisms become less fecund, whereas if predators or disease hit a species hard, they become more fecund.
No you are missing the point. And fecundity is not a "response".
Quote from: WilliamIf a population gets heightened exposure to a mutagen (e.g. nuclear radiation) they don't respond by having more babies.Never said they did. But if offspring start dying frequently (such as to lethal mutations), fecundity increases.
If a population gets heightened exposure to a mutagen (e.g. nuclear radiation) they don't respond by having more babies.
It has long been no secret that male infertility can occur as one of the potential adverse effects of radiation exposure. As dangerous radionuclides enter the human body, a chain of alterations at a genetic level is set into motion, making natural conception impossible. According to latest research, the average period during which Ukrainian couples make a dedicated effort to conceive a child is 2.5 years. If this tendency does not improve, Ukrainian doctors say, there will soon come a time when more and more families will have to resort to artificial insemination in order to have a child.Other risks are equally distressing: Even if successful, fertilisation with DNA-damaged sperm may lead to irreversible abnormalities in embryonic development, triggering severe disorders, developmental pathologies, and DNA changes in the foetus.
your assumption seems to be that it did happen on its own even if you can't prove it or explain how in a logical way it happened. Again, this is based in your assumption that there is no "God".
So you have two assumptions going at once. There is no God and evolution must explain everything even if we don't have proof yet. I can just as easly say intelligent design must explain everything even if we don't have the proof yet
I think you just want to reframe my arguments as some kind of debate trickery, and then knock down the reframed argument. This is called a "strawman".
How does self replicatoin happen without that being encoded somehow.
No, my logic is: Darwin evolution cannot account for IC. (obviusly you disagree with this, despite no explanation as to how it can) From my first observation, I then conclude that it must be designed. Your logic is "There is no God" therefore there is no intelligent design therefore evolution accounts for everything in nature.
Quote from: DrTesla on October 25, 2013, 05:36:34 PMNo, you are wrong because you change the definition of IC system. If a part being removed from a system does not make the system non-functional, by definition of an IC system, it was not part of an IC system because no part can be removed without there being failure. I've already pointed out we can lose limbs , we can lose an eye, etc and we won't die in most cases, but that is because the body as a whole is not an IC system with the function of sustaining life. But there are parts that if they were removed, we will die, like the heart, respiratory system, immune system, etc. People with AIDS have compromised immune systems which leads to various form of fungus and infectious disease that kill them eventually.You have to be careful to define a system in terms of a function, in that all the parts contribute to that function. You cannot just define an entire body as IC if not everything in that body is necessary to the function of sustaining life.So I've not really been all that nit-picky with the whole definition of irreducible complexity. I think that's a bit of a red herring frankly, primarily because your definition of IC has no bearing on the process of evolution. It simply does not, and you really aren't getting that.According to you, irreducible complexity is defined as a system that should one part be removed would cease functioning. If you use that definition, then the claim that the existence of an irreducibly complex system refutes evolution as an explanation for that system is wrong. As has been shown to you several trillion times in this monster of a thread, a system such as this can be built up utilizing other existing parts that are later removed. You, mister mechanical engineer, should damn well understand concepts like scaffolding, redundancy, and stop-gap solutions. This whole "irreducibly complex systems (using your definition of IC) can't be iteratively built up" is f**king WRONG. I get that you don't want it to be wrong, but it just clearly f**king is. Plain as day.Where you keep getting confused is with this notion of intention. As if the evolutionary process has some predefined goal of producing an eye or an immune system. Eyes evolve strictly out of the necessity of survival and reproduction. That's it. Evolution isn't this sentience that starts off with a single-celled organism and puts together a Pert chart and project plan for "making an eye".Organisms reproduce; the offspring of these organisms retain traits of the parent organisms; reproduction is an imperfect process so some traits are slightly modified; these modifications have ramifications on the probability of survival and reproduction of the organisms; the probability of survival and reproduction is dependent upon things like environmental factors, presence or absence of predators/prey, etc.; traits that increase these probabilities will have a tendency to propagate more vs. traits that increase less or decrease these probabilities; these traits can be independent of other traits, work in concert with other traits, or work in conflict with other traits. Sometimes those traits have multiple potential useful functions, and in some earlier iterations function a is the critical function for the emergent system, but functions b and c are useless but not detrimental. After many successive iterations and offspring, slight change d comes along that leverages functions b and c, and this new emergent function displaces the original emergent function that was served by function a. Eventually, after many successive iterations and offspring, slight change e comes along, that leading to yet again new emergent function that not only displaces the emergent function that was served by function a but does it better. Eventually, after many successive iterations and offspring, emergent function from b/c/d/e simply outperforms emergent function from a/b/c (in terms of survival and reproduction) and, eventually, function a disappears (or becomes vestigial, or is incorporated in some other emergent function).Should one of those functions be a human eye, so be it. But the process of evolution had no goal whatsoever in producing that eye. It's not like evolution needs to "know" that it will need function e at some point in time in order to propagate function b; all that matters is that incorporation of function e in the organism still results in a net positive evaluation of the fitness function of "survive and reproduce". That's it.So go ahead and have your arguments of the definition of IC. It doesn't really matter though, because, if you win your argument, that means that IC has no ramifications for the model of the theory of evolution. And, ultimately, has no bearing on anything, whatsoever. Unless you find it useful to have a keyword to express the notion that some systems break when you remove sh*t.
No, you are wrong because you change the definition of IC system. If a part being removed from a system does not make the system non-functional, by definition of an IC system, it was not part of an IC system because no part can be removed without there being failure. I've already pointed out we can lose limbs , we can lose an eye, etc and we won't die in most cases, but that is because the body as a whole is not an IC system with the function of sustaining life. But there are parts that if they were removed, we will die, like the heart, respiratory system, immune system, etc. People with AIDS have compromised immune systems which leads to various form of fungus and infectious disease that kill them eventually.You have to be careful to define a system in terms of a function, in that all the parts contribute to that function. You cannot just define an entire body as IC if not everything in that body is necessary to the function of sustaining life.
Most people who are poor at math manage to graduaate high school.
Ok, well we disagree on does darwin evol lead to IC systems. You probably don't even concede there are IC systems. Where you come down on this crucial issue is going to decide which way you go next. It is the fork in the road. But you have to prove evolution just as much as I have to prove intelligent design. But right now I'm just trying to falsify Darwin evol with the observation of IC in lifeforms. I don't have to prove the implication from the get go, only that evol doesn't account from IC. I think it is easy to understand Darwin IC doesn't account for it but if we don't agree on that, then what can I do. I don't have to convince you of anything....and you are only one person. I think majority of college educated people understand my point though.
Quote from: DrTesla on October 29, 2013, 02:28:44 PMHow does self replicatoin happen without that being encoded somehow. lol. By template directed self-catalysis. There is no encoding necessary when it starts.It's a well known feature of some polynucleotides - but perhaps a little above your apparent intellect showcased here. lol.
try to split up your responses because that wall of text is tedious to repond to. i would responde to every time if you didn't do that so much.
Your first confusion is that you are conflating a beneficial system that helps it adapt to its environment with the need to stay alive period. If there was no postive random mutations that nature could select, by your logic the species would die out, rather than one variation survive longer than another. The inverse of your logic is that if that evolutoin isn't even needed because it can survive without it. But that doesn't address how evolution accounts for IC systems.
If you do not prove evolution then I can continue to say it is nonsense. This isn't a courtroom in which I am the prosecuter and I must prove something to get a conviction. The assumption in court is the defendant is not guilty. But there is no automatic presumption of truth in science. In Science, two ideas are weighed against each other, and neither is presumed to be right. I think IC in systems does damage the Darwin evol theory badly. I cannot force you to accept that and it isn't up to your vote or the votes of Darwins.
If not, show me where I am wrong.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Even if a a lifeform dies after an IC system fails, that does not mean it was not IC. IC just means that specific system would become non-functional if it did not have one of its parts. What happens after that is irrelevant. The point of IC is how did all the parts get there in a gradual way if there is no functional precursor. I am now prepared to accept your apology for doubting me.
young Jaime. He is a good kid but he does not yet have wisdom. all i asked him to do was break up his responses because I end up having to delete several of my previous points in my response. wall of text hurts my eyes.
your last response was pure filibuster.
I think that I nailed that you were conflating on purpose or just confused in your previous point. If not, show me where I am wrong. IC systems are not needed for survival in itself, it just can increase survival. You were arguing that IC systems are not needed for survival. They can survive without them so they are not complex. If I mispresented your argument then show me where I did that in specifics. No more empty rhetoric about how dumb I am.

Never mind – you can have this point in your favour so we can move on to the real meat and potatoes of deleterious/lethal mutations.
I never said you did say that. I said it myself by way of explanation. Please look at what I said again. If a population is exposed to nuclear radiation (causes mutations – many lethal) they don't respond by having more babies.
In this case, nuclear radiation … Firstly, neither the population gene pool nor the individuals know (without scientific investigation – an unnatural intervention) when gametes are dying and defective – but they might find it harder to conceive. Secondly, if they do conceive, the rate of spontaneous miscarriages will probably be higher. They might try again and again before success, and more of the kids might die before they in turn reach reproductive age – but in many cases kids will die too late for the parents to compensate by trying again. All these factors cause a marked decrease in realised fecundity:
So Jaimehlers, the evidence says you are dead wrong – fecundity in the Ukraine has done exactly the opposite to what you predicted or expected
Before I celebrate a debating victory I have to ask if the Ukraine result supports me? Does it? Maybe a slight victory only – because if it ever is rectified it'll take the usual fecundity in unaffected parts of the greater world population to, over time, assist in recolonising the Ukraine gene pool with good genes while Ukraine gene pool is gradually purged of all the crap mutations from radiation – purging by death of gametes, zygotes, foetuses, babies, toddlers, teenagers and young adults, as well as fertility problems with many of the surviving adults. Some surviving Ukrainians will migrate elsewhere and contaminate other gene pools - but fecundity will not increase there in "response" either. Any bad mutations will, however, continue purging themselves.
This is the first leg my argument stands on – deleterious/lethal mutations do fuck things up a lot but are purged and replaced through fecundity, so that in evolutionary time you'll be hard pressed to know the bad mutations existed unless science keeps a record for you.
My opinion is that this is one of the least deployed but most powerful concepts we have when creationists and sneaky IC proponents tell us that bad mutations, if left to their own devices without godly intervention, will only destroy genetic information. Bad genes destroy themselves. They don't accumulate in a population anything like the goddidit brigade so wish they did.
That was Part One. Next part in a day or two - sorry I'm very busy at the moment. But I can assure the next part will be full of exciting learnings about how prevalent deleterious/lethal mutations are! And why the high rate of bad mutations doesn't matter either. And complexity can actually increase as a direct result of random mutations breaking things

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. Original sales projections projected less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
When the 1969 ford mach mustang was furnished with the 428 Cobra Jet engine the vehicle ended up being an outright powerhouse. Simply starting the engine of among these mustangs advertised its power and potential. There were engines offered with less power available for the 1969 ford mach mustang however couple of people choose this calmer variation of the brand-new mustang. Those who thought to inquire desired the most powerful engine their cash could by and a lot of automobile sellers just tested and promoted the much admired Cobra Jet engine.
Ford Mustangs For Sale
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however several modifications were made at the standard opening of the new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough distinction to call for designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has endured with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Gardendale AL are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first version but, due to the additional equipment required to fulfill new US emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first design. Performance was lowered and in the first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Gardendale AL were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body designs offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 pace automobile and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

If everything goes according to plan over the next few years, Taron Slone will be racing to put out fires or chasing down criminals.
If everything goes according to plan over the next few years, Taron Slone will be racing to put out fires or chasing down criminals.
For now, the Ready High School senior is just happy to be able to sprint for the boys track and field team without pain.
Two months after turning in a runner-up finish in the 200 meters (21.79 seconds) and a third-place run in the 100 (11.05) in the Division II state meet last June, Slone had his second hip surgery in as many years.
Slone has run 10.9 to tie for the second-best time in the 100 in last week's area honor roll, and he also has run 22.5 in the 200.
"I could have waited to have the surgeries until I graduated, but it paid off because I got second in the state last year (in the 200)," said Slone, who is a west side resident. "I decided to get the other one fixed this past summer and I feel good."
Slone isn't exactly sure what caused his hip problems a few years ago, although when he was a freshman, he fractured a hip while doing the long jump. He also was told by a doctor that his hips were egg-shaped.
Slone decided to have surgery to repair his right hip in August 2011, and he had surgery on his left hip in August 2012.
"I was trying to figure out why I'd be running the right way but it would always hurt," he said. "They told me that both of my hips had an egg shape to them. The left one wasn't as bad, but I could feel it. The injury I had as a freshman could have caused it. It's rare, but if you're really active you can get it. It was something that kind of just (increased) as the years went by."
Slone is hoping for big finishes again at state in the 100 and 200. He also is competing in the long jump.
He then will be attending the University of Akron, where he hopes to be a walk-on in the track program.
In the classroom, he plans to study how he can use his speed in another avenue -- either as a firefighter or in criminal justice.
"One of the big reasons I'm going (to Akron) is that they have one of the best programs in firefighting technology," Slone said. "I would say that probably in the seventh or eighth grade and all of high school I've wanted to be a firefighter.
"I've heard that it's tough to get a job (as a firefighter) so my backup is criminal justice. Every time I tell that to people, they just say, 'Oh, you'll get to chase criminals.' "
Ready coach Dean Tower believes Slone's heart has shined through the last two summers while he recovered from the surgeries.
On April 23, Slone won the long jump (20 feet, 8 3/4 inches) and was first in the 100 (10.9) and 200 (22.5) to help Ready place second (47) behind host Columbus Academy (84) and ahead of Horizon Science (21).
On April 27 in the Columbus School for Girls Invitational, the boys team finished third (94) behind Bexley (136) and Watterson (102) as seven teams scored. Slone was second in the long jump (18-9 3/4) and won the 100 (11.1) and 200 (23.0).
"He had one of the surgeries two years ago and came back and had a great junior season," Tower said. "Then he had another one on his left hip (last) summer. He recuperated all offseason and did very little indoor and no running in the summer. He's just now starting to come around. He seems to think the 200 might be his best bet to win (state)."Culbertson leadinggirls track team
Senior Carly Culbertson is off to a strong start after entering the season as the girls track team's most experienced competitor.
Culbertson, who ran on the 400 relay that was 10th (51.15) in the Division II state meet last year, had won every 100 and 200 in which she had competed before Ready competed in the CSG Invitational on April 27, according to Tower.
The Silver Knights were fifth (93) in the nine-team CSG Invitational behind champion Watterson (136) as Culbertson won the 100 (13.0) but settled for third in the 200 (27.1).
"She's doing a nice job," Tower said. "We don't have any sprinters, so we're not running her on any sprint relays and she (hadn't) lost a race (before April 27)."
Also in the CSG Invitational, senior Taylor Longenette won the shot put (31-9).
On April 23, Ready scored 60 points to finish behind Academy (80) and ahead of Horizon Science (18) as Culbertson won the 100 (13.0) and the 200 (27.2). Senior Allie Schroeder won the 100 hurdles (16.7).
"This is only her second year hurdling," Tower said. "I'm really excited about her."Softball team isn'tdown about season
Softball coach Jen Goff believes her team's lack of wins isn't indicative of its improvement.
After going 6-16 a year ago, the Silver Knights were 4-12 overall before playing Jonathan Alder on May 3 and finished 2-4 in the CCL.
Four of their losses were by one run.
The strides forward are even more evident statistically after Ready's best hitter last year batted .314.
Through 11 games, Julia Hall (LF/P) was hitting .455, Sammy Hawkins (3B) was hitting .447, Haylee Patel (CF) was batting .432 and Hailey Bryan (P) was batting .400.
"We're scoring runs," Goff said. "We just need that one more run. We have played some difficult teams and just need to play a full game."
Another positive for Ready, according to Goff, came when it beat DeSales 2-1 on April 17.
The Stallions swept the Silver Knights on the way to winning the CCL last season.
Ready hopes a schedule that has included non-league opponents like Olentangy Liberty (7-6 loss April 3) will prepare it for the Division III district tournament.
Last season, the Silver Knights lost to fourth-seeded North Union 2-1 in a second-round game.
"Definitely, offensively, we're more than a step ahead of where we were last year," Goff said. "Our tough schedule last year prepared us for the tournament."

WORCESTER � For almost 19 years, the Quinsigamond Firehouse, also known as the Millbury Street Fire Station, has been vacant, an eyesore with vines choking its air raid siren tower, its lower windows boarded up, many of its upper windows broken.
Closed Nov. 21, 1994, with the opening of the McKeon Road Fire Station, the building has been largely untouched since then � used mostly to store wreaths and trellises for the neighboring Herbert E. Berg Florist Shop, which has owned the property since 2003.
Benign neglect like that is charming when you talk about the dual horse stalls that still exist inside � hearkening back to the station's days as host to a horse-drawn fire wagon � or the intricately stamped tin ceiling on the building's second floor.
Not so charming, though, is the rooftop cupola that lists decidedly to one side, the fire pole that has been sheared off by metal thieves, or the section of the second-floor ceiling that looks ready to fall in.
The 1892 fire station is listed as one of the 2012 Most Endangered Structures in the city by Preservation Worcester, and it is on a similar list compiled by Preservation Massachusetts.
Finally, someone has stepped forward to save it.
Capstone General Contracting Inc., a Worcester-based company that specializes in fire and water restoration, was one of the contractors that renovated a Springfield home on a 2011 episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Capstone has purchased the building for $100,000. Listed as 837 Millbury St. for many years, the building's address is now 15 Blackstone River Road.
Capstone's vice president and chief executive officer, Charbel Najem of Northboro, said he has had his eye on the building for years.
"I have a passion for restoring old buildings," said Mr. Najem. The old fire station, in the heart of Quinsigamond Village across Blackstone River Road from the Quinsigamond School, "always puzzled me. I thought it had good bones, that it would be great to get in there and do something with it."
Mr. Najem said the company, which he runs with his wife, Christine Najem, plans to invest $600,000 in the building and restore it to how it looked 121 years ago. He plans to keep the original structure intact, demolishing only the small structure on the building's side that was added much later.
The open first floor, where the fire wagon and later the firetruck were housed, will become a showroom. The second floor and attic space will be renovated into offices, he said. In the rear of the building is enough room to park about dozen cars, which should be enough, he said.
The renovated space will house all of Capstone's three divisions and its dozen employees, currently working at office space on Grafton Street.
Deborah Packard, director of Preservation Worcester, said the firehouse was on the organization's first most-endangered list in 1995 and is the only one still on the list. The rest of the structures have either been saved or demolished.
"We're really delighted that something is happening there," she said. "It's a sturdy building, and certainly one worth protecting."
She said the building is representative of the years when Quinsigamond Village was like a small town, separated from the rest of Worcester by railroad tracks and the mammoth steel mills that employed most of its citizens.
"It's an iconic building for that section of the city," she said.
Retired Fire Lt. Donald Courtney worked at the Millbury Street Fire Station from 1984 to 1989. He said the building housed one 50-gallon pumper truck: "It was a glorified pickup truck with a water tank."
"When we needed to go out on a call, a firefighter would have to get out in the middle of the road and stop traffic," he said. "It was charming, for sure. People would always walk up and talk to you; the building is right up on the street. We'd give tours to the school kids all the time."
But it was a tight fit for the four firefighters who manned the building. Everything in the building was outdated, and it was eyed for replacement by city leaders many years before the ax finally fell.
"It wasn't a luxury station. It had a small bathroom, a small kitchen," he said. "We were sad to see it close up. A couple of firefighters talked about making it into a museum, but that never went anywhere."
Mr. Najem said he does not expect construction to begin for about a year, as Capstone obtains approvals from the local Planning and Zoning boards, as well as the local and state historic commissions.
Later this month, Capstone General Contracting will host a party for the neighborhood to introduce itself, said Cathy DiPilato, contracting specialist for DiPilato Property Services, a subsidiary of Capstone.
"We are moving to the neighborhood?�?And we're having a party!" according to a flier being posted around the neighborhood by Capstone. "We purchased the fire station at 15 Blackstone River Road, and we would love to invite you to celebrate with us."
The party will be held at the firehouse from noon to 4 p.m. July 27. There will be free hot dogs and soda, and a custom car show. The company is also hosting a food and wine tent, for $25 admission, in which all proceeds will benefit the charities Opening Heaven's Door, Abby's House and a fund set up to help the families of the 19 firefighters who died in the Arizona forest fire.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — You may not have noticed it, but for several weeks last year, the Earth was surrounded by an extra ring of radiation.
There are two doughnut-shaped rings of highly charged particles encircling the planet. Discovered in 1958, they're known as the Van Allen radiation belts.
So it came as a surprise when NASA's recently launched twin satellites to the treacherous region discovered a third, temporary ring. It appeared for a month before a shock wave from the sun destroyed it. Scientists are still trying to figure out how often this happens.
The twin spacecraft launched last year on a mission to explore the Van Allen belts. Solar storms can cause the rings to expand, posing a potential threat to satellites.
The discovery was reported online Thursday in the journal Science.

With just a few days to go until World Architecture Day, WAN caught up with Daniel Libeskind, who gave his emphatic support for the event. Speaking to Michael Hammond from New York last night, the architect underlined the importance of the event's main theme: 'Architects are city changers'.
"Bringing citizens, architects and experts together is the key to creativity. Although each city faces its own challenges, it is crucial for people around the world to come together since everyone can bring their own insights and relevant experiences," said Libeskind.
