Project Description
The goal of this University of California, Irvine project is to develop design guides that can be used to predict jet flame flashback propensity as a function of pressure, temperature, fuel composition, free stream velocity, turbulence level, and fuel-air mixing profiles. This effort will lead to a better fundamental understanding of flashback tendencies and will also provide insight into strategies for preventing flashback.
Project Benefits
This project will develop design guides to predict flame flashback propensity for high hydrogen content fuels. A better fundamental understanding of flashback tendencies will also provide insight into strategies for preventing flashback when designing hydrogen combustors that operated with fewer emissions at higher temperatures. Specifically, this project will conduct experimental studies of jet flame flashback using a test facility designed to investigate flashback at gas turbine relevant conditions and correlating the results to local flow and injector tip conditions.

The fourth additional exception incorporates exemptions from the SNAP employment and training program. 61 The fifth additional exception for the work requirement is for those SNAP recipients who are pregnant. The law does not require medical verification of a SNAP recipient's pregnancy, and any pregnant woman is exempt regardless of her expected date of delivery. 62
Implementing the ABAWD Work Requirement. For all ABAWDs who do not fit into one of the six exceptions discussed above, federal law requires that those ABAWDs receiving SNAP must (a) "work 20 hours or more per week, averaged monthly," (b) "participate in and comply with the requirements of a work program for 20 hours or more per week, as determined by the State agency," or (c) "participate in and comply with the requirements of a [state workfare] program."
The U.S. Food and Nutrition Service promulgated regulations that clarify this requirement and make SNAP easier for state agencies to administer by allowing them to determine whether the recipient worked at least 80 hours in a 30-day period.
Moreover, SNAP recipients who have jobs that pay average weekly wages equal to 30 times the federal minimum wage are exempt from work registration even if their jobs do not entail 30 hours per week.

Federal regulations allow states to determine good cause for failure to fulfill the ABAWD work requirement and exclude that month from counting toward the recipient's time limit. 66 Federal law states that "[g]ood cause shall include circumstances beyond the individual's control, such as, but not limited to, illness, illness of another household member requiring the presence of the member, a household emergency, or the unavailability of transportation." 67
Furthermore, federal law allows ABAWDs who have used their three countable months to regain their SNAP eligibility "at any time."
OTZ Shoes 300GMS Linen Viola cheap store Cheapest gIbTuQTiel
A time-limited ABAWD can receive SNAP once again if in a consecutive 30-day period, the former SNAP recipient "(i) [w]orked 80 or more hours; (ii) [p]articipated in and complied with the requirements of a work program for 80 or more hours; [or] (iii) [participated in any] combination of work and participation in a work program for a total of 80 hours; or participated in and complied with a workfare program." Marc Fisher LTD Womens Mlzala Dress Pump Blue/Wine Fabric professional sale online discount find great free shipping new styles quality for sale free shipping Pgz3mCM
ABAWDs who regain eligibility by working are "entitled to an additional set of three consecutive countable months." 70 A state agency may approve an application if the agency believes the recipient will perform 80 hours of work or employment or training activity in the next 30 days or become exempt for other reasons. 71
If you answered YES to any of the questions, please read the following information carefully.
You need to know your rights as a research participant (or potential participant) so you can make sure that you are being treated fairly. Those rights include, but are not limited to, the following:
You have the right to refuse to join a study. In fact, no one is allowed to perform research with you unless you have given your permission and signed an informed consent document (sometimes just called a "consent form").

You do not give up any of your legal rights when you sign the informed consent document and join a study.
You have the right to stop participating in a study, for any reason, and at any time, without losing any of your medical care options.
You have the right to know the purpose of the research study that you are being asked to join.
You have the right to know all of the risks that you are taking if you choose to take part in a study (as well as anything that might be of benefit to you).
You have the right to be told about all other medical options available to you, if you choose not to participate in the study. You have the right to be told if there are any medical options available that may be better for you than participating in the study.
You have the right to ask any question about the study before you join, and you have the right to ask questions as the study continues and after it ends. You also have the right to have all of your questions answered to your satisfaction.
The FDA suggests you ask the following questions to a study doctor before you join a study:
You have the right to take plenty of time, without anyone pressuring you, to decide whether or not to join a study.

pip is a command line program. When you install pip, a
command is added to your system, which can be run from the command prompt as follows:
If you cannot run the
command directly (possibly because the location where it was installed isn't on your operating system's
) then you can run pip via the Python interpreter:
On Windows, the
launcher can be used:
Even though pip is available from your Python installation as an importable module, via
, it is
not supported
to use pip in this way. For more details, see
adidas Porche Luxe Run Womens Sneakers Black/Green/White Q22045 clearance many kinds of 39sWG
pip supports installing from , version control, local projects, and directly from distribution files.
The most common scenario is to install from using
NIKE Mens Air Max Sequent 2 Running Shoes Dark Grey Mtlc Silver Blk fashionable cheap sale from china amazing price sale online for nice XEK0f2s
For more information and examples, see the pip install reference.
"Requirements files" are files containing a list of items to be installed using pip install like so:
Details on the format of the files are here: Requirements File Format .
Logically, a Requirements file is just a list of pip install arguments placed in a file. Note that you should not rely on the items in the file being installed by pip in any particular order.
In practice, there are 4 common uses of Requirements files:
Requirements files are used to hold the result from pip freeze for the purpose of achieving repeatable installations . In this case, your requirement file contains a pinned version of everything that was installed when pip freeze was run.
Requirements files are used to force pip to properly resolve dependencies. As it is now, pip doesn't have true dependency resolution , but instead simply uses the first specification it finds for a project. E.g. if pkg1 requires pkg3>=1.0 and pkg2 requires pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0 , and if pkg1 is resolved first, pip will only use pkg3>=1.0 , and could easily end up installing a version of pkg3 that conflicts with the needs of pkg2 . To solve this problem, you can place pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0 (i.e. the correct specification) into your requirements file directly along with the other top level requirements. Like so:

New Role for Robert Pattinson in "Twilight" Film
Dec 11, 2007
Robert Pattinson, who portrayed the character of Cedric Diggory in the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" film has been cast in a new role for the film adaptation of the first book in Stephenie Meyer's series, "Twilight." It was announced today via a press release on the author's site (PDF download here) that Mr. Pattinson will be taking on the role of Edward Cullen in the upcoming film. Stephenie Meyer is quoted on her website as saying of this casting announcement:
I am ecstatic with Summit's choice for Edward. There are very few actors who can look both dangerous and beautiful at the same time, and even fewer who I can picture in my head as Edward. Robert Pattinson is going to be amazing.
The press release also quotes Summit Entertainment's President of Production Erik Feig who speaks on the casting of such a unique and popular character by saying:
"It's always a challenge to find the right actor for a part that has lived so vividly in the imaginations of readers but we took the responsibility seriously and are confident, with Rob Pattinson, that we have found the perfect Edward for our Bella in TWILIGHT."
The film is set to begin production in February 2008 with Kristin Stewart ("Panic Room") taking on the aforementioned role of Bella Swan. You can find the first novel of the series, "Twilight," in our own Cauldron Shop along with its next two chapters "New Moon" and "Eclipse."

September 2017 Inhibiting mTOR, a regulatory protein complex, can prevent reactivation of latent HIV. Medications to inhibit mTOR might help people with HIV achieve and maintain undetectable HIV viral loads.
October 2014 Nano-antiretroviral therapy (nano-ART) turns macrophages—one of the very cell types that HIV uses to replicate and spread through the body—into carriers for anti-HIV medications. The approach has the potential to make treatment for HIV easier and more effective.
April 2014
Intensified screening for HIV among injection drug users receiving opioid agonist therapy could prevent more than twice as many new infections as current screening practice. A recent study based on mathematical modeling found that screening every 6 months instead of annually, and adding viral RNA testing to the currently used HIV antibody testing, could improve both effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
April 2013
Patients were more likely to take a rapid HIV test when substance abuse treatment programs offered the test onsite rather than referred for offsite testing. Patients were equally likely to accept and learn their HIV status whether the offer of onsite testing was accompanied by 30 minutes of risk reduction counseling or by 5 minutes of brief information on the testing procedure. Onsite testing accompanied by brief information was cost effective, taking into account the projected lifetime costs of treatment and the gains in health and longevity for detected cases.
February 2013 Despite the advances in treatment and prevention, roughly 50,000 new HIV infections still occur annually in the Nation. Research, in large part supported by NIDA, has produced a strategy to address this circumstance and break the epidemiological impasse: seek out HIV-infected individuals, particularly those in "hard-to-reach" groups that have minimal contact with the health care system; offer them HIV testing and treatment; and provide support to help them stay in treatment.
April 2012 Expanded use of antiretroviral therapy in British Columbia reduced the spread of HIV among injection drug users and others in the province.
July 2011 Describe a study of newly arrested youths where researchers found correlations between the youths' prevalence of these sexually transmitted diseases and their cocaine and marijuana use.
March 2011
Describes a study revealing that HIV-infected prisoners in Texas often experience an interruption in treatment following their release and that assistance in filling out paperwork can reduce these interruptions.
December 2009
Reports finding from a study showing that access to antiretroviral therapies, HAART in particular, can improve the health of HIV-infected patients who have a history of injection drug use.

Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) narrowly topped estimates on Tuesday with a 13% jump in fourth-quarter profits, but the world's largest beverage maker disclosed weaker-than-expected revenue amid slumping volumes in Europe.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of the blue-chip company ticked slightly lower in premarket action on the mixed results.
Coca-Cola said it earned $1.87 billion, or 41 cents a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $1.66 billion, or 36 cents a share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, it earned 45 cents a share, topping estimates from analysts by a penny.
Revenue rose 3.8% to $11.46 billion, narrowly trailing the Street's view of $11.53 billion. Gross margins slipped to 59.6% from 60.1%.
Coca-Cola's sales growth was highlighted by a 9% leap in global still-beverage volume, including packaged water, juices and sports drinks. Ready-to-drink tea volume soared 16% year-over-year.
"In a year marked by continued uncertainty in the global economy, we delivered solid volume, revenue and profit growth, and we realized further volume and value share gains in nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages," CEO Muhtar Kent said in a statement.
Coca-Cola logged global volume growth of 3% in the fourth quarter, highlighted by a 10% rise in Eurasia & Africa amid strength in the Middle East and North Africa and a 5% gain in Latin America. While Pacific volumes were up 2%, North American volumes inched up just 1% and struggling Europe suffered a 5% tumble in volumes due to an 8% slide in the Iberia region.
Coca-Cola said its bottling investments enjoyed a 5% jump in volumes, driving a 6% increase in revenue.
Looking ahead, Coca-Cola projected 2013 net share repurchases of $3 billion to $3.5 billion.
"As we enter 2013 in what is still an uncertain global economy, we know that it is critical to seize the opportunity to keep leading and succeeding in any environment," Kent said.
Shares of the Atlanta-based company slipped 0.31% to $38.49 in premarket trading on Tuesday, putting them on track to largely maintain their 2013 rally of about 6.5%. Both Coca-Cola and rival PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) have rallied about 13% over the past 12 months.

Six to Watch: March & April
Francesca Gavin
Speaking about his sculptures, videos, and installations, Miroslaw Balka states: "I always try to create difficult questions instead of easy answers." In his work, which is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply unsettling, he poses serious questions about history—specifically that of modern Europe—memory, truth, and perception. Balka uses traditional and unconventional materials in his work, including steel, wood, salt, soap, and felt. References to the history of his own country, and the destruction of its Jewish community during the Holocaust, figure prominently in his work: although Catholic, he has become known as a Holocaust artist. Balka's video work Bambi (2003) exemplifies the affecting way in which he confronts viewers with the past. The video shows young deer foraging for food in a bleak, snowy landscape, which, as it turns out, is the site of the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

Major Areas of Research
- Innate immunity to Francisella tularensis
- Vaccine development for pneumonic tularemia
- Modulation of human cells by F. tularensis
Program Description
The focus of our research is to gain a better understanding of how aerosolized pathogens successfully infect and modulate the pulmonary environment to cause overt disease and death. Currently, our principal interest is the pathogenesis of aerosolized F. tularensis, the causative agent of pneumonic tularemia.
There are two primary areas of research ongoing in our laboratory: innate immunity to F. tularensis, and modulation of human cells by F. tularensis. We are particularly interested in modulation of primary antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells and macrophages) by F. tularensis and how this modulation allows the bacterium to initially evade host immune responses immediately following infection. We utilize both in vivo and in vitro models of disease to reveal specific mechanisms at play in both host and pathogen to gain a better understanding of the dynamic nature of this disease.
Dr. Bosio graduated from Washington State University cum laude with a B.Sc. in 1993. Following completion of her Ph.D. at Colorado State University in 1998, Dr. Bosio completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Food and Drug Administration Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases, studying innate immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, F. tularensis, Marburg virus, and Ebola virus. Prior to joining NIAID in 2007, Dr. Bosio was an assistant professor at Colorado State University in the department of microbiology, immunology, and pathology. Dr. Bosio's laboratory studies the host response to pulmonary pathogens, with special emphasis on virulent F. tularensis and dendritic cells, macrophages, and monocytes.

Israel has moved ahead with a plan to build a new settlement in the northern West Bank for the first time in 26 years, pursuing a project the United States has already condemned as an obstacle to peace efforts.
The initiative began three years ago, under the auspices of then-defense minister Amir Peretz, who promised to transform a former army outpost into a permanent settlement for evacuees from the Gaza Strip. The move was then frozen due to American insistence.

Range Review: Reed's Indoor Range, Bay Area, CA (two thumbs UP)
Just got back from my first trip to the newly reopened "Reed's Indoor Range" just off Highway 101 near San Jose. There are 20 lanes. Northern Cali folks are encouraged to check this place out... very nice folks and a great facility!
Prices are $10/hour per lane, $15/hour with two people. Gun rental fees range from $8-15/hour. Hours are 10AM -> 9PM weekdays, and almost as long on Saturday and Sunday. Call them at:
(408) 970-9870
...for directions and info (just off San Tomas Expressway, visible from 101).
The lanes were about half occupied during the lunch hour, and there were about 6-8 people swarming around the store when I left. Very nice to see that there are other shooters in the Bay Area who haven't moved out of Kali.
The showroom floor is VERY well stocked. Mags, grips, cases, range bags, cleaning supplies, safes, knives, ammo, shirts, jackets... I actually was talking to a guy at Reed's main store yesterday (when I picked up my gun), and he was jokingly complaining that the owner has been raiding their stock for the range. It shows - never seen a range so decked out.
Reed's prices may be higher than other places, but I don't mind supporting a local, privately owned place. I will be buying my ammo elsewhere, however. $8.99 for 50 Winchester White 115 grains is TOO high, even for me. =)
Eric (more on him below) told me that they are going to have a Gunsite instructor visiting regularly for training! SWEET. I'LL BE THERE.
This was my first trip to this range with my brand new gun (my first gun - a G17), although I have been to several other ranges before with friends. The lighting was very nice on the range - better than I have seen in other places.
I had even more fun that I had expected, and I had high expectations! My grouping at 7 yards was mostly within a 6" area, but the group was about 4-5 inches low.
Some guy with a 1911 next to me had torn a solid 4" hole torn dead in the
middle of his target at 15 yards (yeah, yeah... bring it on you 1911 elitists), which was a little hard to look over at, esp. compared to my target, but... oh well.. .you gotta start somewhere, and I love my Glock.
The salesguy at the range - Eric - was really nice and had helpful
advice - I've actually never dealt with somebody as nice as him in Range environment. There seem to be a lot of attitudes in this sport!
Paul - another guy from the Reed's store down on Alum Rock - was also there, helping guys out with holsters and stuff.
Eric is a a Glock armorer, which is a nice bonus... he even field
stripped, inspected and lubed the gun before i took it out for my first shots, which made me feel better about things. Anyhow, regarding the grouping, he told me I am anticipating recoil and pushing the gun down. I know this is what I am doing, I caught myself doing it a couple times. Recoil ain't bad at ALL, so there is no reason for me to do this - just newbie fear, i guess.
Eric sold me some snap-caps to mix in with my ammo
'blindly' during training... the idea being that when i hit the fake
round, if I have pushed the gun down i will see it (you're
busted!)... if that happens, Eric says I should unload the gun, dry
fire 10 times holding still, and then continue. I've read about this in TFL, and look forward to seeing if it works.
On one or two shots, I didn't flinch at all and actually saw the
muzzle blast very clearly and... surprise, surprise, right in the
middle those rounds went. Some of my flinching was because the guy
right next to me was firing very loud .357 out of a short barrel...
pretty hard to focus as a newbie with that going on. i could
literally feel the pressure wave hit me each time he shot.
50 rounds spent.
Range rental: $10
Ammo cost: $10 ( i got ripped off (need to buy online, but also need to get
Advantage Arms .22LR conversion))
Memories: priceless
oh yeah, at one point a hot shell jumped back and almost went down my
shirt... i think i'll start wearing a billed cap at the range, to
prevent this from actually happening. i've heard that some people have squeezed off extra 'accidental' rounds when this happens, just because it freaks them out. i was a little surprised, i admit... but not THAT surprised!
Thanks be to Oleg Volk for rekindling my interest in this sport! He's The Man!
Any Bay Area shootists who wish to get together for a TFL rally, contact me. I'm eager to train with those better than me, which is pretty much anyone at this point.
Shoot em well,

Good report Sven! I've been there but haven't shot yet, and you're right; it will be very popular with the Silicon Valley guys. I'll probably see you there, I'll be the old fat guy trying to see the holes in the WHITE area of my target!

Thanks for the review
Thanks for the review. There are no ranges in Berkeley/Oakland for lunchtime practice, so I envy you (on the other hand, there's always East Oakland...)
Target Masters in Milpitas is closer to home (and has more convenient hours for me), but I may swing by Reeds to check it out.
Do they allow double-taps and rapid fire on their range?
If someone wants to setup a TFL night at Reed's, just post it, I'm game. Sadly, I'm not a particularly good or experienced shooter, but I'm willing to bring my toys and we can all try each other's guns :-)

The Reed family has been supporting the shooting sports for over 40 years. Jim Reed has done a great deal of work to make the new range a good place to visit. This is a business and family that deserves our support.

Thanks for the review!
I've been trying to find time to come back, now that it is operated by Reed's (I used to shoot there back when it was still National) and wanted to know what its like under new management.

Reed's indoor range is a good improvement. The attitude of the place is great. They do not really support gun sales out of the range but are building what I tend to think of as a pro-shop. They have some nice lines of accessories.
Eric I believe is the manager. I believe he (as well as others) came from Siegels (spelling??). He has a pretty realistic mindset regarding the range and is pretty customer focussed.
He did mention that if you come in and rent a gun to try and then end up purchasing it through Reed's they will apply the rental fee and lane rental to the price of the firearm.
Play hard, shoot often, leave well worn guns!

The manager Eric and a couple of the guys did use to work at Siegles until they went out of business. The Reeds indoor range has quite a large selection of holsters and a big selection of knives . It is a lot nicer now then when it was National. It is a nice alternative to Target masters. If your in the Berkley /Oakland area you might want to try the Optimist range in San Leandro for a place to shoot during lunch . They have a indoor range for pistol and outdoor range for pistol and rifle.
" Have gun will travel" Springfield if your listening make a 10mm 1911.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Following a career day in MIT's conference opener, Noel Hollingsworth was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday. The sophomore was also selected as the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England Player of the Week and named to the D3Hoops.com National Team of the Week for the second time. Hollingsworth poured in 37 points on Saturday at Babson to help the nationally-ranked No. 9 Engineers improve to 13-1 on the season. This marks the third time this season the sophomore has picked up NEWMAC weekly honors.
The sophomore notched his eighth double-double of the season with 16 points and 13 boards in a 71-59 win over Tufts on Tuesday. He then followed that up with a career-high scoring effort, including 20 points on 9-10 shooting in the decisive second half, as MIT picked up a win in its conference opener against Babson, 72-45. Hollingsworth shot 60.9% from the field for the week and currently sits atop the NEWMAC in a number of statistical categories, including scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage.
The Engineers continue to ride their best start in program history, as they stand at 13-1 overall and are unbeaten against Division III competition. Tech moved up to No. 9 in the most recent D3Hoops.com Top 25, its third straight week in the poll and the highest ranking in program history. The Cardinal and Gray will welcome NEWMAC rival WPI to Rockwell Cage on Wednesday night, a team that has earned at least a share of the conference regular season title for the past six seasons and qualified for the NCAA Tournament five years in a row. Tip is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

What I ate at Salon du Chocolat Opening Night

That Georges..I am sure I remarked on what a nice face I thought he had in a previous post.ReplyDelete
I stand by my words:)
Looks interesting and fun..
I would go for the jewelry for me..That necklace is so fun..my grandsons would want to eat it.. I would buy the chocolates as gifts:)
Have to say I have goosebumps of pride seeing your art exhibited:)
So proud!
M. FC has great taste!!
Ooo la la! Cheers to Frederick Cassell for having the good sense to employ the queen of the watercolor wash!! That necklace of cant has me thinking polymer clay p anytime.ReplyDelete
Buck up! Eat as much chocolate/caramel au beurre sale as you must to slog through another day at the mines-er Salon du Chocolate.
How very cool to have your paintings up on the wall! Or are you immune to such thrills? The necklace looks super. I don't understand why you let Georges run away with the kouign amann...or was it just that you left your sack of goodies with him accidentally? Jeff can vouch that pain perdu with caramel au beurre sale is exquisite!ReplyDelete

How fabulous to have your beautiful pastry watercolors adorning Frederic Cassel's display! I visited his website and found your work on the opening page. Beautiful!!! Your necklace is just too much fun! Fortunately, you were surrounded by such great chocolate that you didn't have to be tempted to start eating your attire, although I would have been tempted because it is made up of some of my favorite candy. Very creative idea to make that, lest we forget that you are after all, a great artist! CarolynReplyDelete
LOve the Lakritz necklace... I do like a bit of 'good chocolate, preferably very dark!ReplyDelete
Your sketches are divine and make me want to eat chocolates:-)Replies
In the US we call it 'Allsorts' no idea why?Delete
I have a hard time telling the real candy from your drawing of them. Nice job on having your work hung on the walls of Frederic's stand.. wow.... Congrats! Looks great.ReplyDelete
Bonjour vous, la tentatrice !ReplyDelete
De peindre de si belles gourmandises avez-vous résisté à l'envie de les goûter ?...
La semaine dernière on m'a offert une boîte de chocolat et aujourd'hui, je l'avoue, j'ai tout mangé !!
Mes préférés, les Malakoffs à la pistache !
Lorsque j'étais enfant j'adorais, aujourd'hui toujours ☺, ces petits nounours au chocolat avec la guimauve.
Ont-ils voulu créer des nounours fille et des nounours garçon ?
Une belle visite qui me laisse rêveuse !
Gros bisousReplies
C'est PLUS, PLUS tentation pour MOI!Delete

Brilliant post, If I'd worn that necklace I'd have finished the evening with just the cord around my neck. I could tell by the style those illustrations were yours before I read the caption, congratulations well deserved. I've loved your style since I first read your blog. Nice to see your friend Georges again, but where was his lovely écharpe.ReplyDelete
Barbara Lillian
How smart of you to squirrel away your tastes for later. I ate way too many samples at my visit to the Salon du Chocolat today. Soooo beautiful. I have more photos from the exhibition hereReplyDelete
I am really looking for classic and gorgeous cups of hot chocolates. I am fan of cooking and searching for quick dessert recipe tips from every blog.ReplyDeleteReplies
There were MANY cups of HOT CHOCOLATE to be had at the Salon but very few were selling the powdered mix itself. I found it only at Henri le Roux. Lots of cacao on it's on was available and I bought that too figuring it must be better quality in the supermarkets for sure.Delete

HighPoint RocketStor 5322 Review
HighPoint RocketStor 5322 Introduction:
File sizes continue to grow with the proliferation of devices that boost the pixel counts, ergo ultimately the file size. Sixteen (and higher) megapixel DSLRs and digital video cameras that shoot in 1080p are the norm rather than the exception. Our music and movie collections continue to expand with a myriad of ways to download the content. Add in increased backup file sizes with the latest operating systems and you get tons of data that needs to be stored somewhere on a drive or series of drives. Many of us choose to use an external drive to store our treasured memories and system backups, but tend to gripe about the length of time it takes to complete the process. HighPoint has an answer to that conundrum with the introduction of its RocketStor 5322; the first dual eSATA 6Gb/s storage dock on the market. Sure, you can get dual USB 3.0 performance in the RocketStor 5122B that supports dual USB 3.0 5Gb/s engines, while the 5322 supports dual eSATA 6Gb/s engines for a total of 12Gb/s worth of bandwidth.
As an external dock that supports a pair of SATA 6Gb/s 2.5 or 3.5 inch form factor drives, it is vendor agnostic and can be used with a PC as well as a Mac. With two ports or docks, the RocketStor 5322 can support single or dual drive configurations including RAID configurations when used with a dual eSATA-equipped add-in PCIe card such as the RocketRAID 642L that Highpoint sent along with the 5322. Priced at $119, the 5322 comes in the door with a price premium but if the performance can back up the pricing than it is a win all around.
HighPoint RocketStor 5322 Closer Look:
The packaging for the HighPoint RocketStor 5322 and RocketRAID 642L features a wealth of information across all facets of the boxes. The front and lid of the RocketStor 5322 show an image of the docking station stating that this is the world's first dual 6Gb/s eSATA storage dock supporting SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s standards for both PC and Mac. The right panel shows how the drives can be configured in the 5322 with several combinations of 2.5 and 3.5 inch form factor drives. The contents of the package are listed with the power cord included marked to the right. As a global company, it has power cord considerations for many countries. The back side points out the benefits of using a dual dedicated 6Gb/s eSATA storage solution for either single drive or multiple drive RAID setups. The left side lists the product specifications and warranty/support information with a link to HighPoint's web site.
HighPoint packs the 5322 well enough to prevent damage during transit. I found no damage internally to the 5322 or the accessory bundle. What you get for your $120 is the RocketStor 5322 dual eSATA dock, the instruction manual, a power supply and cord, and a pair of one meter long eSATA cables to attach the docking station to the RocketRAID 642L.
The packaging on the RocketRAID 642L is configured similarly with an image on the front with the basic specifications listed with a more detailed listing on the rear panel. I'll dig more into the feature later on.
HighPoint's RocketRAID 642L is part of the 600 HBA series of PCIe storage solutions. The RocketRAID 642L is a PCIe device that supports up to four point to point SATA 6Gb/s drives with two internal SATA 6Gb/s headers and two external 6Gb/s eSATA headers for use with external docking stations such as the RocketStor 5322 I am looking at today. Built around the Marvell 88SE9235 controller, this device can support up to 20 devices when a port multiplier is used. RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD configurations are supported. A low profile bracket is included for use in small form factor chassis. Combining the 642L with the RocketStor 5322 is a natural way to get the highest performance out of the docking station if your system does not have native, dual eSATA 6Gb/s connectivity.
HighPoint's RocketStore dual eSATA looks to be able to provide all the bandwidth you would need to transfer your data to an external dock at speeds that mirror an internal drive setup run on through an onboard Marvel controlled set of drives.

Final Float-In For Memorial Bridge Scheduled for This MorningBy Gretyl Macalaster,
Union Leader Correspondent
June 16. 2013 10:05PM
By the time early Monday morning, the center span of the new Memorial Bridge was expected to be floated into place.
The barge Cape Cod was scheduled to move the center and final span of the bridge from the New Hampshire State Pier to the bridge around 1 a.m. this morning.
Carol Morris, spokesman with Archer Western, the main contractors on the project, said it will take up to 12 hours to get the span in place and secured.
A five-day river closure was to take effect at 1 a.m. and continue through 1 a.m. on June 22. The river closure was coordinated with the United States Coast Guard.
The move of the center span is being coordinated with the Portsmouth Harbor Pilots and is highly dependent on the tides in the fast-flowing river.
Morris said the goal is to move the span down to the bridge just as the outgoing tide is reaching slack.
Bridge watchers had already gathered at the north pier at Prescott Park by 10 p.m. in anticipation of the historic event.
Onlookers can expect to see the span raise and lower more than once during the next five days as testing of the lift mechanism continues.
The bridge is expected to open to traffic sometime in July.

LU Rogers honoree sees service as 'something I'm supposed to do'
In her life, in her deeds and in her heart, Antoinette Mays defines what it means to help others. Following the example set by her mother, grandmother, aunts and other family members when she was young, Mays embarked on a mission of service.
Because of her devotion to dozens of organizations and causes, Lamar University selected her as its 2011 recipient of the Julie and Ben Rogers Community Service Award. A Beaumont resident and LU staff member since 2008, Mays is an administrative assistant in the Office of Alumni Affairs. Mays accepted the award Nov. 30 during a ceremony honoring her and recipients from Lamar Institute of Technology, Lamar State College-Orange and Lamar State College-Port Arthur.
"As I look around this campus, I see Mays' efforts at every turn. Whether it's an event, a service project or a good deed, she is there in a heartbeat," President James Simmons said during the ceremony. "Imagine, then, all that Mays means to the community at large – to civic and religious groups, schools, fund-raisers and efforts against domestic violence and on behalf of causes ranging from victims' assistance to mental health."
Regina Rogers represented the Rogers family in presenting the awards, which Julie and Ben Rogers established in 1979 to encourage Lamar faculty and staff members to volunteer their services and talents to benefit the community. The Lamar University Foundation maintains an endowment that provides for the award.
"It doesn't matter whether you have a lot of money or a little bit," Mays said. "If you can help somebody, I think you've done a whole lot. In my heart, it feels like something I'm supposed to do.
"It's humbling to be there for somebody. It makes you thankful. It makes you know you made a difference, but it wasn't really you who made the difference. It was because of what you are and who you are," she said.
"To me, it's because of God. It's the God in me that makes me reach out and help other people because people were always there for me. There was never a time when there wasn't someone there for me through the good and the bad."
Mays grew up in Beaumont, where her mother, grandmother and aunts inspired her to help others. "Everybody was always helping somebody," she said. "I liked that and, as I got older, I found I really liked helping people. I always knew I wanted to do things to help people."
She derived further inspiration from the nuns who taught her at the Catholic boarding school she attended in Lafayette, La. There were school projects, which no doubt marked the beginnings of her volunteer leadership qualities. During trips to the Mother House of the Sisters of the Holy Family in New Orleans, she had the opportunity to work with babies and young children at the orphanage the sisters operated.
Among those who supported Mays' nomination for the Rogers Award was Pastor Georgia Ealy of the House of Prayer Ministries in Austin. "Antoinette has a heart of love that flows out to others and hands to reach out as far as they can go to help people in need," Ealy wrote. "Antoinette is one who has great abilities to change not only a community, but a city. Her compassion for others is a never-ending expression of her deep love toward the needs of others."
Those expressions come through in her speeches, performances and program appearances. She was the keynote speaker for the April 2010 Victims Candlelight Vigil and the December 2010 Angel Tree Celebration, both sponsored by the Jefferson County Coalition for Victims of Crime. Mays survived a violent crime during the 1990s and, she said, "I was able to heal really quickly because of the people at my church and the way we all reached out to each other. It made me want to be there for other people to give them the courage too."
While living in Houston, she worked with victims' assistance through her church and a support group called Bruised But Not Broken. "That was really eye opening. I had friends who were victims," she said. Becoming a victim heightened her commitment. "That – plus some of the other things – really pushed me and others into wanting to help people," she said.
Later, while working as a probation officer in Mississippi, she gained experience with domestic violence victims and perpetrators and those charged with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She became a licensed substance abuse counselor. Also in Mississippi, she expanded Bruised But Not Broken into a ministry.
On the Lamar campus, Mays is the founder and coordinator of the Lamar University Women Empowering Women Through the Mentoring Pilot Program. She is founder and staff advisor to the LU Registered Student Organization's Bruised But Not Broken Support Group and organizer of the Candlelight Vigil and Prayer Walk Against Domestic Violence on campus. She recruits members for the LU African-American Mentor Program and chairs committees for the Women's Empowerment Conference.
Mays' involvement in civic groups – as a board member, organizer or volunteer – extends to the March of Dimes, Mental Health Association, Family Services of Southeast Texas, Communities in Schools of Southeast Texas, Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, Gusher Marathon and 100 Black Men of Greater Beaumont, in addition to the Jefferson County Coalition for Victims of Crime. She serves on the National Domestic Violence Coalition and Texas Council on Family Violence.
Her dedication to religious groups includes serving on boards of Bruised But Not Broken Ministries and the Texas Mass Choir of the Gospel and as a member of the Gospel Music Workshop of America. At St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church, she is founder, director and minister of Daughters of Promise With Purpose and youth minister for the Bridge Builders Group. Her efforts have benefitted Ozen High School and Our Mother of Mercy Catholic School.
At a time when many organizations need volunteers – and spend time and energy recruiting them – Mays is known to seek out volunteer opportunities. On one such occasion, Christy Hardt, development officer for Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, reported receiving an "amazing" phone call from Mays, who "came out of the woodwork" to help with the hospital's first fun run. Not only did she volunteer her time, but she also contributed her expertise to ensuring the event's success. "Antoinette is the true definition of a volunteer," Hardt wrote.
When Mays volunteered to help with the March of Dimes' March for Babies last spring, she brought Lamar students and other volunteers with her. And, wrote division Director Donna Blanchette, "She was the savior of the day."
Mays helps organize and recruit volunteers for the "Take Yourself and a Loved One to the Doctor Day," sponsored by Jefferson County Precinct 4 Commissioner Everette "Bo" Alfred. "I am grateful for Antoinette's involvement and for her commitment to improving the quality of life for Southeast Texas residents," Alfred said.
Karen Newton, executive director of Communities in Schools, said Mays has "dedicated many hours of service promoting the organization as it has reached thousands of students and their families," focusing on drop-out prevention and providing assistance to children to help them stay in school and succeed.
Mays earned her degree in general studies from Lamar in 2007, with an emphasis on kinesiology and sociology. Working full time, she is pursuing a master's degree in family and consumer science and a second degree in applied arts and sciences. Before coming to Lamar, Mays had a varied career, including stints as a USA track official and track coach and as an assistant track coach at Jackson State University in Jackson, Miss.
The mother of one daughter and five sons and grandmother to seven, Mays said she loves being surrounded by a close-knit family that includes two sisters, a brother and a cousin she considers more like a big brother or wise uncle.
Mays' family also extends to those in the organizations and causes that count on her – as well as the hundreds they serve. "I just love helping," she said. "Anyone can ask me to do something and, if it's within my ability to do so, I don't say 'no.'"
That feeling is mutual.
"It is rare to witness someone willing to offer so much of their services to others," said Richard James III, director of the Gusher Marathon. Mays represents the ideals of the Rogers Award and continues to make significant public-service contributions to her community, he wrote. "As we all know, actions speak louder than words, and Antoinette sets the bar high by constantly taking action to better our local area. Through her actions, she has become a role model for others, exemplifying a strong work ethic, positive attitude and kind spirit."

Heika: Impressive win over San Jose Sharks a sign that new Dallas Stars' system is starting to work
Facing the best team in the NHL, the Stars dug a crater-sized hole just nine seconds in when they allowed the fastest goal against in franchise history Thursday night.
But, the Stars rebounded on several occasions and won, 4-3 in a shootout, against the 6-0-1 San Jose Sharks.
"We've had some tough starts, and it gets you on your heels," said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. "But I like the fact that we dug in. It's a sign that we have that will to win."
With a new general manager, a new coach and several new players, the Stars are trying to figure out who they are, and games like Thursday go a long way in establishing an identity. Dallas had a crushing 5-1 defeat in Minnesota on Saturday and then bounced back with a solid performance Tuesday at undefeated Colorado.
But the Stars lost to a strong goaltending performance, 3-2.
On Thursday, Dallas faced another undefeated squad in San Jose, and once again raised its game. The Sharks entered with a 30-9 edge in goals scored and 251-141 advantage (18.3 per game) in shots on goal. The Stars stood toe-to-toe and exchanged blows, finishing on the short side of a 35-31 shot ledger, but they showed they can play a strong puck possession game with a team that excels at that style.
"They're a handful, for sure," said defenseman Trevor Daley, who scored a goal and had four shots on goal. "We found a way to battle back against a really good team."
The Sharks entered with the best stats in the NHL and a top line that was tearing things up. But Dallas held Joe Thornton, Brent Burns and Tomas Hertl off the score sheet, while Thornton and Burns went minus-2 each. Checking that line was the responsibility of Cody Eakin and linemates Alex Chiasson and Ray Whitney, and the trio was spectacular.
Eakin finished with a goal and an assist, Whitney had two assists and Chiasson had an assist and the shootout-winning goal.
"We played well and battled adversity," said Chiasson. "We seemed to play a lot better in our own zone, and that makes a big difference. When you play well in your own zone, it just seems to lead to chances."
After Dan Ellis let in a Tyler Kennedy goal from distance nine seconds in, the Stars eventually fought back on a Tyler Seguin goal at 16:44 of the first period. Jamie Benn and Seguin went hard to the net, and Seguin collected a rebound and scored his third goal of the season.
San Jose bounced back to take a 2-1 lead, but Eakin led a nice rush that led to Daley's goal, just the second goal of the season for a Stars defenseman. San Jose retook the lead, but the Eakin line scored in transition. This time, Chiasson took the shot on goal, and Eakin was there for the rebound to tie things up 3-3.
"I thought our speed game was good, we came at them hard," Ruff said. "I think the speed of our team backed them off."
After allowing the first goal and letting the Stars slip behind a couple of times, Ellis was solid facing 11 shots in the third period and six more in overtime. He also stopped all three shooters in the shootout.

CANNES, France (AP) — Gray, wispy-haired Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne are more than just brothers born three years apart.
The acclaimed Belgian directors, whose film "Two Days, One Night" lit up this year's Cannes Film Festival, are also two cogs in the same creative machine, first fused together by their opposition to their religious father and now incapable of working apart.
"At the start we thought, practically, that if one is ill for a week, it's good as the other can continue working. But this isn't true. We need each other for it," says Jean-Pierre, 63.
Luc, 60, goes further.
"It's a little psychological. That we are brothers that work together, it's linked to our father. We opposed him a lot together when we were growing up over his morality, religion. It cemented us more than we think," he says.
Whatever the reason, their cinematic synthesis has worked with great success — the duo already have two Palmes d'Or under their belt since they first teamed up in 1978. The first winner was 1999's "Rosetta," about a 17-year-old girl, played by first-time actress Emilie Dequenne, who tried to escape her alcoholic mother. The second was 2005's "The Child" — a tale of an adolescent father who wants to give up his baby.
But this year's gritty "Two Days, One Night," which features a tour-de-force performance by Marion Cotillard as Sandra — a desperate and depressed mother of two trying to save her job at a solar-panel factory — could well hand the brothers a record-breaking third.
The message of the film, in which Cotillard's Sandra tries to convince her 12 co-workers to forfeit their 1,000 euro bonus to save her job, is at heart a philosophical exploration of human solidarity versus self-interest.
A similar philosophical strand runs throughout their body of work, which spans 10 features and numerous documentaries over four decades.
And it's little wonder. Luc studied philosophy, while Jean-Pierre took drama.
The brothers' work has never strayed far from home (or autobiography). Both the fraught father-figure and the setting of their hometown, the deprived Belgian city of Liege, recur within their work.
The bond between father and child featured strongly in "The Child," but also crops up in this year's offering, in which a dad literally comes to blows with his son over whether or not they should give up the bonus selflessly.
This time around the father is the virtuous character.
"We at first wanted the son to say "Yes", and the father "No" (to helping Sandra). But we didn't want to condemn the father in the film this time. We've already condemned too many fathers in our films! We felt bad. It's a father-rehabilitation," says Luc.
Still, the movie's backdrop — the working-class, industrial landscape — draws from their childhood. "Two Days, One Night," like many of their features, is set in Seraing, a poor town near Liege.
"A part of us of our childhood never really left this area," says Luc.
Liege became internationally known for all the wrong reasons —for poverty, serial killers and child-molesters, such as the infamous pedophile and convicted '90s murderer Marc Dutroux.
Luc said he felt for the region's plight, and that its loneliness inspired much of the brothers' work.
"The solitude in our films comes from this backdrop. There has been a bit of a shock, there was a crisis of the late 70s. The station disappeared, trains disappeared, the town emptied itself, town bustle died, it's full of lonely adolescents. From 100 shops there are three or four left," he says.
But what is striking about the brothers is a lack of (over)sentimentality.
"We never want to be angelic, naive in human relations," says Luc, as Jean-Pierre nods. "Our work, it's about being real."
