Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Weekend at Florian's
As soon as the previous Ray-induced mission concludes (the one entitled "No Way on the Subway"), Niko will phone Ray and let him know that the two bikers are dead, but that Johnny, the biker who absconded with the money, is no where to be found. Ray has some news of his own for Niko as this phone call progresses, since he's managed to track down the guy Niko's been looking for. This will make the upcoming mission not an optional one to undertake amongst other missions in a varying order, but one you're thrust into automatically. As soon as the news is digested by Niko, he calls Roman and tells him he's going to come through and pick him up at the safe house in Algonquin on Albany Avenue. So, go ahead and do that now.
Once you've picked up Roman, the two will discuss how Niko's mark has been found, but how they have to use an intermediary to get to him, someone that Roman is actually familiar with from the backdoor card games he plays. The guy we're seeking out is a painter who has his stuff set up on the corner of Iron Street and Columbus Avenue, so drive there (using the GPS on your HUD). Once you arrive, Roman and Niko will hassle the guy a little bit until he gives up the pertinent information, but to show you where your mark (Florian) lives, he's going to have to come with you to show you the location you seek uptown.
The game will prompt you to find a four-door car, so make that your first priority. Once you've found one, you can then go back to where Roman and our informant are located and scoop them up (a four door sedan should be right across the street, in fact). This opens up a unique little journey to your location. Your destination won't show up on the HUD. Instead, your new friend here will give you directions -- vague ones -- that will eventually get you to where you need to go. Of course, if you go too fast or go against oncoming traffic, he'll refuse to give you directions. If you want to cut to the chase, simply head to Ivy Drive South on the west side of Algonquin. That is where Florian's apartment is located.
Niko and Roman get out of the car and, wielding a firearm, Niko busts into Florian's apartment. This is indeed the Florian you've been looking for, but when Niko and Roman are finally able to speak with him, they realize that he's changed a bit from when they last saw him. What's more, when they continue to speak, it is revealed that Florian isn't the man Niko is looking for, after all. It appears that another man the two worked with named Darko is the one that Niko will be after next. When Roman and Niko leave the apartment thereafter, Niko swears vengeance on Darko, and the mission will then end, leading you back to the more normal GTAIV mission style of choosing where to go next.

Well, we had a wonderful meeting this past Tuesday. No new members at this meeting, but we had one guest.
I must apologize or not taking any pictures. I was so involved in watching Tracey K.'s trunk show (and touching and folding many of her shawls and cowls) that I just didn't think about photos. Must try to remember to do this next time.
Her trunk show was fascinating. I love seeing the products of other knitters. I did see many taking notes of names of patterns and yarn.
We also saw many lovely items during show and share. Please bring your finished projects to show off at the meetings. We love to see everyone's work.
Our swag was delivered at this meeting. If you ordered an umbrella and were unable to attend the meeting, you can pay for and pick up your umbrella at the next meeting. Or, even at Panera's, if you come to social knitting on Tuesday nights. My trunk is full of BSKG items.
Isn't this beautiful? I just love mine.
The results of voting at the last meeting were announced. Donna M. is our new vp and will come into office at the next meeting and I will move up to president. Yikes!
Hope to see all you Black Sheep at the next meeting in January. And don't forget to check out upcoming events here on the blog.

NVIDIA 'The Way It's Meant to Be Played' 2013 Press Event
"The Way It's Meant to Be Played" has been a trademark of NVIDIA for over ten years now. While there are some consumers that simply dismiss it as marketing mumbo jumbo, there is a lot of weight behind that statement. That's because, unbeknownst to many people, NVIDIA is more than just a graphics card manufacturer – the company is also a developer and innovator. "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" is not simply a saying, it is NVIDIA's promise to the gamer.
I was invited to Montreal, Canada for a two-day event to see and experience NVIDIA's newest contributions to the PC gaming industry. Day One was all about NVIDIA Game Works, a library of outstanding developer tools. But before delving into Game Works, Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President of Content & Technology at NVIDIA, wanted to let us know that PC Gaming is Thriving, as shown in the image below.
NVIDIA GameWorks
NVIDIA GameWorks employs 300 visual effects engineers that work on the Game Works Library and Developer Tools. NVIDIA strives to make GameWorks the gaming equivalent of what Industrial Light & Magic is to movies. NVIDIA has a very close working relationship with many great developers, ensuring their games work best on NVIDIA GPUs by implementing various GeForce-enhanced features, such as PhysX, HBAO+, and more. To illustrate this, Tony went through ten games, highlighting the NVIDIA technologies used in each and featuring quotes from the developers.

Freshman Angel Chairez knocked in the game winning goal with 1:30 left in the second half to lock up a third straight A-Sun victory for the Bisons over the Campbell Camels at home Saturday afternoon.
Campbell drew first blood at 2:59 when Jason Keever hammered a rebound past senior goalkeeper Jake Goergen.
The Bisons were able to respond after forward Miguel DaSilva drew a foul in the penalty area. Senior Ben Page converted the ensuing penalty kick into a 1-1 tie at the 20:13 mark.
Page also assisted on the Lipscomb goal at 24:50 when freshman defender Garrett McLaughlin scored from ten yards out.
In the second half, Goergen swatted away a Camel penalty kick at 66:06. Lipscomb head coach Charles Morrow praised the save.
"Jake is a great shot stopper. His big body and athleticism allows him to cover a lot of goal."
The scoring didn't stop there. The Camels were able to score on a Josue Soto free kick at 77:45. The Bisons would answer with the game winner eleven minutes later.
Chairez's game winning goal gave the Bisons three conference victories for the first time in school history and increased their winning streak to three games.
"It's been a long time for me," said Morrow. "The guy's aren't shocked or surprised. [The game] is a tribute to the work that they've put in and the job they've done in the preseason."
The Bisons look to continue their A-Sun winning streak as they head to the Sunshine State next weekend to face Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson.
The Bisons improve to 4-6-2 overall and 3-1-1 in A-Sun play. Campbell's record falls to 7-4-1 and 3-2-1 in conference action.

The time has come. You have spent months preparing. Instead of reading the same old white paper, your manager has asked you to create a PowerPoint presentation for her, the undersecretary, and a whole slew of Senior Executive Service (SES) members. You know that this presentation will not only impact your career and reputation within the department, it will also influence your department's policy stance. Despite the knots in your stomach, your team spent months researching and building the case. You know that all the evidence and work is there, now you just need to present it.
Unlike giving a presentation in the private sector, where a good presentation will rally senior executives behind a cost saving or profit-maximizing venture, public sector employees need to make the case for a sound economic investment and a mission critical achievement. As a federal employee, when you give a presentation you are presenting a case to the SES for a high stake decision that not only impacts your department, but the American public as well. If the SES is the head of your organization, then your presentation should be the neck that turns them. All you need is to give a compelling presentation of your department's hard work, here's how, building off a piece by Nancy Duarte in the Harvard Business Review:
Make your shtick under an hour: Even an hour-long presentation is pushing it, but ensure that you go through your presentation to cut out extra pieces that are unnecessary. We've all been in presentations where our eyes start to glaze because the presenter seemed to transition from oratory to rambling.
Give a roadmap: Set expectations for how long the presentation will go and that your audience will have ample time for questions. There is nothing worse than being in the audience right before lunch with no clue as to how long your stomach will be grumbling. Which is another important point to consider, if you have control over the meeting time, do it well before or well after lunch.
Anticipate the questions: Before you step into the lion's den, you need to anticipate what kind of questions your audience will ask. I assure you, the one thing that you don't know how to answer will be the one thing your audience wants to know. That being said, the ratio of presentation to Q&A should be 1:2. The SES is an important and impatient crowd, their time is valuable. Make more time for their questions than your own presentation.
Bring your "Aha" moment to the front: You've spent months on research and preparation, and you want to end the presentation with a big finish. "In summary, we suggest…!" Although that approach is good in theory, surprises aren't effective in practice. If you blow them away right up front, it will spur questions in their mind and they will be eagerly listening to your presentation for answers.
Rehearse: You're a seasoned professional with 15 years of experience; you don't need to rehearse, right? Wrong! The most articulate and persuasive orators rehearse their speeches and anticipate questions from the audience. The idea that you can be a natural public speaker is overblown and simply not true. Get ahead of the curve, and rehearse your presentation.
This may sound like a lot of work but believe me, if your presentation doesn't follow these steps it is likely you will be interrupted before you even finish.
Do you have any advice for giving a great presentation?

Let me get this out of the way first. A gluten free diet for weight loss is probably no better than any other diet for weight loss. There are short term, quickly reversible results if it works at all. Let me repeat this part. No better than any other diet. More on this later.
We've been a gluten free manufacturer for over 20 years and as a family of celiacs, we are very familiar with the blank stare received when talking about gluten, gluten free, celiac disease & gluten intolerance. Hands up how many have said "I have a wheat allergy" because it's easier than explaining what being gluten free means. In the last couple of years, we've seen exploding diagnosis rates for celiac disease from 0.9/100,000 in 1950 to 20 per 100,000 in 2003 *, a 400% increase in the actual rate of celiac disease since the 1950's.* , evidence that non-celiac gluten intolerance may affect as much as 6% of the population * and evidence that as many as 15% of people are gluten sensitive. It's hardly any surprise that awareness of a gluten free diet is growing.
As a manufacturer of gluten free products, this has been a good thing. Our products are not only in health food and specialty stores where they were typically found for 15 of our 20 years, but in mainstream grocery chains. We've grown from selling products at a farmer's market in 1991 to 2 facilities with over 150,000 ft2. in production space.
Since our business -is- gluten free, we monitor trends in consumer awareness, retail and non-traditional and mainstream media. In the last year or so, I'm noticing a trend in mainstream media. Headlines like "Is a gluten-free diet a good idea?", "Is a gluten-free diet safe?, "Is a gluten-free diet bad for you?" and "Gluten-free diets may be overused". Now, on one hand celiacs have been clamouring for raised awareness for years and almost every article finally has the talking points around celiac correct and that's a very good thing. What I find disturbing is that every one of these headlines and in large part the articles that accompany them, are either dismissive of, or show outright hostility towards the diet for those who are not diagnosed with celiac. What's going on here?
Major Themes
"A gluten-free diet isn't necessarily a healthy one if you don't need to be on it"
OK. Hard to argue with this. Oh, but wait, a gluten free diet isn't necessarily NOT a healthy diet either. It's not as if the gluten containing diet of the majority of North Americans is a paragon of health. All one has to do is walk down the frozen foods, bakery section or cookie aisle of a major supermarket to see what I'm talking about. In fact,the gluten consumer has a 50 fold chance of picking an unhealthy choice because there are 50 times the amount unhealthy choices. Donuts everyday for breakfast are not a healthy choice whether or not they contain gluten. (and let's not even mention the gluten & sugar filled cereal aisle)
"People are going gluten free without a doctors diagnosis because it makes them feel better"
I want to be very clear here. If you think you have a problem with gluten you need talk to your doctor about it. Undiagnosed celiac disease can be life threatening. For a celiac, a gluten free diet is not a choice, it's a life long requirement. Let's however, speak to those who have been tested and are told that they do not show antibodies and do not have intestinal damage; those that do not have celiac. Should these people simply go back to consuming gluten in all it's sundry forms? Should they go back to bloating, headaches and some of the over 100 symptoms linked to gluten sensitivity? Should they stop eating gluten because it makes them feel better? Do we really even need to comment on this? Yet dozens of articles seem to imply this is inappropriate.
Medicine only knows what it knows.
50 years ago doctors told us that celiac disease was a children's issue to be grown out of, 20 years we were told it was rare, today it's classified as a growing public health issue *. When mainstream medicine says there's no evidence for what you're feeling. it may simply be that they haven't found the evidence yet. That's how science works. It doesn't mean that what you are feeling is in your head.
"Gluten free food lacks essential nutrients and often contains refined ingredients"
Again this tars all gluten free products with the same brush and ignores that the exact thing can be said for gluten contain products. Pick up 20 gluten filled & gluten free products in any grocery store and compare the labels. You'll find a range of good, bad, and awful in terms of processed ingredients and nutritional value. I'd bet you'll find the gluten free products at least comparable. This idea that all gluten free foods are lacking in nutrients is plainly wrong. We've been adding vitamin and minerals, fibre & protein to our products for over 10 years. Our newest soft breads & buns were designed specifically to be the most nutritionally sound gluten free products on the market and they are at least as good or better for you than many of the mass produced "whole wheat" breads out there.
UPDATE: October 11/ 2013 I've added this table to illustrate my point. (Dempsters is one of the top selling mass produced wheat based bread lines in Canada)
|Per Serving
(2 slices)
|Kinnikinnick Multigrain
Gluten Free Bread
|Dempsters Original
Whole Wheat Bread
|Saturated Fat
|Vitamin A
|Vitamin C
* > 2g grams of fat comes from "healthy sources" in flax oil, sunflower seeds, quinoa & teff
The Dempsters Bread also contains the following preservatives and dough enhancers: calcium propionate, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, monoglycerides, acetylated tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides, sorbic acid. May contain calcium iodate, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, ammonium chloride
The gluten free bread in this case wins the nutritional battle in Calories, Sodium, Carbs, Fibre, Sugar and has mostly equal values in the vitamin content (both are enriched). I think it's very possible to make the case that in this example, the gluten free bread is the better choice than one of the top selling whole wheat breads in Canada.
The dietitian and the diet
The strange thing about these articles is that many of them are written by dietitians. Unfortunately, the viewpoints the seem to be expressed in the articles often come across as the Gluten Free Diet Versus The Ideal Diet. Don't get me wrong, dietitians are hugely important to the gluten free community. They are often the first people that a newly diagnosed celiac will see and can be a huge help to in those first traumatic days of "what do I eat now". Everyone's favourite gluten free dietitian, Shelley Case has been a major reason why we started enriching our breads over 10 years ago and is a major reason why we've created our new breads with such great nutritional values. She wasn't a consultant. She simply bugged us every time we saw her at trade shows, conferences and other events over the past 15 years. "Why aren't you enriching? Why aren't you adding fibre? Why aren't you using whole grains? There's no reason a gluten free product needs to be any less nutritious." And she was right.
That being said, not all dietitians appear to give gluten free the same consideration. Most of the time what these articles say is true; a gluten free diet can be unhealthy if you eat too many carbs, too much sugar, too much sodium, not enough fibre and on and on. But frankly that can be said about every manufactured food on the market today. At least the gluten free consumer reads every label every time and has a much better chance of knowing what they are eating. Whether they care is what the dietitians should be focusing on.
A gluten free diet for weight loss, celebrities on gluten free and the athlete connection
Here's where things get a bit murky. Does a gluten free diet work for weight loss? In and of itself, probably not. But there are plenty of anecdotal claims that it does. For some. Why? It's impossible to know. Certainly, switching out gluten free 1 for 1 in a diet that's unhealthy to start with isn't likely to make any difference. Perhaps it's because the drive through window and most fast foods are now off limits. Maybe there is a metabolic reason for some people (see note on what science knows above). My personal theory? Perhaps it's merely a case of reading every label and being aware of what they are eating.
Celebrities going gluten free may signal the pinnacle of the "gluten free fad". Or perhaps they are simply some of the most visible examples of people with gluten sensitivity. Just because they are famous doesn't mean they don't have health issues like the rest of us.
The latest trend seems to be athletes going gluten free. An article by 5 time Canadian Rowing champ Matt Jensen on our blog outlines some of his reasons for going gluten free. Since that article, there are now 5 rowers on the Canadian team that are on gluten reduced diets. Novak Djokovic's credits some of his recent tennis success to a gluten free diet. Other athletes are eliminating or reducing the amount of gluten they are consuming because they see tangible results. Do they have gluten sensitivity? Hard to say, but the traditional gluten filled carb loading of pasta before an event may start to become a thing of the past. Remember that pasta is made from "hard wheat" which has higher than "normal" gluten content. Perhaps a finely tuned body doesn't deal with that as well. Perhaps it makes no difference. Science doesn't know yet. The diet is not easy to follow especially when you travel like athletes do but I imagine the athletes know pretty well what makes them perform better.
Today's gluten isn't the same as your grandmothers. (well it is, but there's a lot more of it)
According to some estimates, wheat has been bred to have an increased gluten content of up to 50% compared to wheat from 100 years ago. Gluten is seen as "a good thing" by the conventional baking industry. It makes "better" bread. Not only that, but as anyone on a gluten free diet knows, it's in -everything-. But do we really have a good idea what all that hyper gluten consumption is doing to us. Could that be the reason the incidence of true celiac disease is up 400%? We're often told that humanity evolved eating wheat and are asked how could it be a problem for us. Yet no one mentions that humanity did not grow up eating -this wheat-. Have we reached a tipping point in terms of how much gluten a person can tolerate? Is it a real problem? Science can't say right now. All they can say is based on best evidence, today, wheat is ok for the majority of people; the majority being somewhere around 80-85%.
Let's focus on Healthy Eating, gluten filled or gluten free
The Gluten free diet is a fad for some, a necessity for celiacs, and a benefit for others. Don't belittle us by making broad generalizations on topics that can be just as easily applied to gluten containing products. Talk about proper, life long nutrition without a qualifier. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
So please. Can we stop with these articles. The other 15-20% of us will appreciate it.

I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Support or evidence? Not the same thing. I've never seen anything that resembles evidence.
Given the work with viruses in the last few years, I was wondering how long it would be until they got protocells up and running.I'm hoping we can go from amino acid to bacteria within 10 years.
They're creating the most primitive cells imaginable. They throw that at your immune system it'll eat it and laugh. Assuming your body doesn't just consider it food and move right on.

Game Like It's 1995 With Web-Based Hover
Oct 2, 2013 3:14 PM PT
There's little doubt Microsoft has its gaming sights set primarily on the future with the approaching launch of its next generation Xbox One video game console next month, but on Wednesday the company took an old school turn and launched an updated version of the classic Windows 95 game Hover.
Hover originally arrived as an Easter Egg -- a hidden piece of software -- in Windows 95 installation CD-ROMs, where it soon developed a cult -- albeit small -- following. The new version, however, is available on the Web with updated 3D graphics, touch-friendly gameplay and multiplayer mode.
Hover is being introduced as an Internet Explorer 11 and WebGL title.
'A Cult Following'
The update to Hover features improved and enhanced graphics by default, but a retro mode is also included for those who want to game like it's 1995. Hover still offers the same basic gameplay, which combines the action of button cars and capture the flag into a virtual arena. Players compete by driving a hovercraft around the screen in an attempt to capture various flags and score points.
The original game is still compatible with all Windows 95-compatible operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows 8. However, Microsoft's new version runs within the Web browser and is compatible with any browser that supports WebGL.
"Microsoft originally released the game with Windows 95 as a way to show off the multimedia capabilities at the time," Liz Wu, a Microsoft spokesperson, told TechNewsWorld. "Since then, it's enjoyed a cult following, with over 10 unofficial downloads and hundreds of comments on reddit.
"Microsoft was approached by an independent developer named Dan Church who grew up playing the game and wanted to bring it back," Wu added. "The IE team was impressed with his enthusiasm and decided to partner with Dan and Pixel Labs to bring the game to the Web, with new features like new hovercrafts and multiplayer support."
'Just a Reaction to Chrome'
While the release of the game may be at least in part a nod to nostalgia, Microsoft could also be looking to showcase the functionality of its IE 11 and WebGL technology.
"My first thought is to look at Chrome and what they are doing with apps in the browser," said video game industry consultant Mark Baldwin. "This strikes me as just a reaction to Chrome."
In that case, it's not so much about the game technology as it is the Web development tools and how games and other applications would run within the browser.
"It isn't really a game play, it is something that they had lying around and they believe it will show off Internet Explorer 11's features as well as Windows 8.1 features," suggested independent video game industry analyst Billy Pidgeon. "It is old stuff, and I don't really think anyone is going to go, 'woohoo!' that Hover is back."
In fact, "the truth is that Chrome has a lot of nifty apps and Google has introduced a lot of game apps in Chrome, so Microsoft is now following up with its own," Pidgeon told TechNewsWorld. "To stay competitive with Google, Microsoft really needs to do a few more of these games if it wants to keep up."
Showing Off the Modern Web
Why Microsoft opted for a game that many don't even remember, however, is not clear. For the most part, it will appeal primarily to those who actually scoured the Windows 95 CD-ROM and took the time to look in the "Fun Stuff" folder, which also included a Weezer music video and a trailer for the movie Rob Roy.
Obscurity aside, though, it can still show off what IE11 is capable of when it comes to "its increased performance, touch capabilities and support for modern Web standards, Wu explained. "IE11 is the perfect platform for Hover."
While it will work in any modern browser, she added, "Hover is just one of many games and experiences that the IE team has created to show off what is possible on the modern Web."

Amazon has a major product announcement set for September 6th, and today the company made two important announcements that reveal their plans for next week. First, the Kindle Fire is now sold out just nine months after it launched. And now the Amazon App Store is coming to Europe.
In Germany, France and Italy, customers will find "App-Shop" available today; in Spain, customers will find "Tienda Apps;" and U.K. customers will find the "Amazon Appstore for Android."
Everyone expects Amazon will be unveiling a new Kindle Fire next week, and we expect the sequel will be available in both the US and Europe. Since it launched nine months ago, the Kindle Fire has been #1 best-selling product across the millions of items available on Amazon. It was only available in the US, where it managed to capture 22% of the tablet market share.
"We're grateful to the millions of customers who have made Kindle Fire the most successful product launch in the history of Amazon," said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. "This has been a big year for digital products on Amazon–all of the top 10 sellers on Amazon.com since Kindle Fire launched just less than a year ago are digital products. Kindle Fire is sold out, but we have an exciting roadmap ahead–we will continue to offer our customers the best hardware, the best prices, the best customer service, the best cross-platform interoperability, and the best content ecosystem."
No one is sure what Amazon will announce, but there have been rumors of a larger 10 inch Kindle Fire and possibly a phone. Other rumors have also suggested that Amazon will partner with NVIDIA on their new devices. Amazon aims to own half the tablet market by the end of the year, and it appears only NVIDIA has enough chips to supply the demand. Qualcomm previously announced it expects supply of its 28nm Snapdragon S4 chips to remain constrained until early 2013.
Thankfully, we won't have to wait much longer to see what Amazon will reveal. What features would you like to see in the next Kindle Fire?

Adriana, reciting poetry on Peckham Rye (photo: (c) Scott Johnson 2011)
Thanks to Scott Johnson, for this post recounting today's Blake Society event:
In 1765 an eight-year-old William Blake saw his first vision; 'A tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings bespangling every bough like stars.' He saw this on Peckham Rye.
Today I went to the Rye to join the Blake Society and artist John Hartley in the planting of a young oak tree somewhere near that spot where William Blake first saw his angels.The event began at noon with a lady called Adriana who - in eighteenth century costume - recited poetry; mostly about angels; at a string of locations around Peckham Rye Park.
This was followed by a performance and video screening by Matt Sexton. We gathered round an oak tree in the park; and a video played from his laptop which lay on the floor, covered in oak leaves. At the same time, he walked through the crowd with a hand-held projector, projecting the film onto people's bodies.Matt explained afterwards that the video contained interviews of some of the 62 South African school children who in 1995 all witnessed a UFO. He said that the children's vision of the UFO was partly a product of our time as Blake's vision of angels was partly a product of his.
Planting of the Angel Oak (photo (c) Scott Johnson, 2011)
From here we moved to a space on the Rye that is believed to have been close to where William Blake had his vision.Artist John Hartley explained that, as a child, Blake lived in the West End; an area which at the time was the margins of London; and that Peckham today is in some ways an area of margins. He said that artists are attracted to margins and so was William Blake. John then explained that the new sapling had been brought to the Rye from the margins of England. He and a friend had driven to the coast, to an eroding cliff and taken a young oak that was ready to fall into the sea, and brought it there to Peckham Rye. As the tree was lowered into it's new hole, everybody was encouraged to help by chucking a handful of dirt in.
The new Angel Oak can be seen at the Dulwich end of Peckham Rye.

Governor Mary Fallin recently launched a new service that allows Oklahomans interested in serving the state to apply online for a gubernatorial appointment. The new online application can be accessed from Governor Fallin's official website, located at http://governor.ok.gov.
"My administration is looking for qualified and dedicated Oklahomans to serve on various agencies, boards and commissions," Fallin said. "It was my desire to have a system that allowed Oklahomans to submit their applications easily online. This new application delivers just that; it allows applicants to navigate through the process with ease and provides my staff with a more efficient way to make appointments. I would encourage all those interested in serving, to visit the Web site and submit their application."
The new online appointment application will assist the Office of the Governor in streamlining the process of managing appointments from initial application to finalization of the appointments.
Previously, the process to manage and maintain gubernatorial appointment applications was tedious and time consuming. Applications were received via email or mail and were then entered manually into a digital repository. Once a position became available, staff searched the repository for applicants who met the specified criteria for the position.
Within the new online application, an instructional guide walks each applicant through the entire gubernatorial appointment application process. After submitting the application, the applicant can then select the boards, commissions, or task forces they are interested in being considered. The new online application automatically inputs all applicant information into a database, which can quickly and easily be filtered and searched by the staff of the Office of the Governor.

Drivers fume as streets are repaved
BRIDGEPORT -- Lines of traffic built up along Broad Street Friday morning, waiting for a chance to pass along roads that had been partially closed from re-paving.
Not far away, Latasha Gardner, 37, hustled to her car, which she parked along Broad while cashing a check at TD Bank on Lafayette Boulevard -- another street that was partially closed due to re-paving.
Then there was Jimmy Wilson, co-owner of Corporate Deli on John Street, who said his business has fallen off over the past few weeks as customers have shied from the area because the nearby streets are -- make a guess -- being re-paved.
"It's a huge inconvenience," Wilson said.
Parts of John Street have been closed during the project and that's affected business, which Wilson said has fallen off 50 percent during the work.
"It wasn't planned well," he said. "In a downtown district, work like this should be done at night to allow businesses and residents to operate."
The city began the project on April 15. Paving was expected to finish on Friday, though city officials said it could be a few weeks before the refurbished roads are permanently re-striped. While the painting is going on, there might be some intermittent lane closures, which will be announced on the city's website.
A lot of the work of the paving was done during the day, rankling some motorists who had to take detours, sit in traffic or scramble to find parking spots while certain roads were closed for work.
Residents interviewed Friday morning said re-paving the city's roads is a good thing -- it just should have been done at a time when it didn't throw a wrench into so many schedules.
"I think it's a great idea to redo the street, but they should do it at night," said Jose Rivera, a Bridgeport resident. Rivera said he walks and takes trains or buses more often than he drives. The work has affected him, nonetheless, making his bus rides longer with frequent detours. Doing work at night would have made things easier on residents and on the workers, he said.
"There would be less traffic and they'd get more work done," Rivera said.
The project is expected to cost $1.4 million, 80 percent of which will be paid through federal funds, city officials said.
Officials were told by state Department of Transportation representatives that, due to cost restraints, paving couldn't be done in the evening, City deputy chief of staff Ruben Felipe said.
Felipe apologized for the inconvenience but added that "we feel that the newly paved roads will be a long-term benefit to the downtown area."

LSU outlasts Alabama 97-94 in 3 overtimes
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Johnny O'Bryant capped a 24-point, 10-rebound performance by hitting two free throws in the final 10 seconds of the third overtime, and LSU held on for a 97-94 victory over Alabama on Saturday.
O'Bryant's strong inside basket gave the Tigers the lead for good at 91-90 with 2:18 to go in the last extra session, and Anthony Hickey added a clutch 3 from the right corner to make it 94-90 with 1:19 left. That allowed LSU (16-9, 7-7 Southeastern Conference) to finally capitalize on its 10-point comeback inside the final three minutes of regulation and hand Alabama (18-9, 10-4) its first loss in five games.
For the Crimson Tide, the loss spoiled Trevor Releford's career-best 36-point performance on 14-of-18 shooting, including 4 of 4 from 3-point range. The junior also had three steals, making him the Crimson Tide's all-time leader in that department with 178, two more than the previous mark Senario Hillman set in four seasons.
Charles Carmouche added 20 points and 11 rebounds for LSU, while Shavon Coleman had 17 points. Hickey finished with 13 points, his only made 3-pointer on four attempts coming at the perfect time.
Rodney Cooper scored 18 for Alabama, including a late 3 that tied it at 88 in the final seconds of the second overtime. However, Alabama had to play all three overtimes without starting center Moussa Gueye, who fouled out late in regulation. Levi Randolph also eventually fouled out.
Because a slam dunk exhibition that served as halftime entertainment ripped the net in front of Alabama's bench, Tide players had to wait around on the floor during repairs before they could run through their second-half warm-ups.
It hardly seemed to bother them, at least initially.
Releford converted a fast-break layup as he was fouled and Cooper scored on a putback, giving 'Bama its largest lead to that point at 41-34.
The Tigers chipped away, closing to 54-51 on Carmouche's free throws, but then Releford started another surge with a clutch floater off the glass at the shot clock buzzer as he was falling over the baseline.
Releford followed that with his third and fourth 3s of the game, putting the Tide up 64-54.
Alabama led 69-59 on Randolph's putback with 3:30 left and the crowd at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center was quiet, as if sensing a comfortable Crimson Tide victory. Then Carmouche hit a pair of free throws, Coleman added two more, and O'Bryant scored inside as he was fouled, pulling LSU to 69-65 with 2:00 left. O'Bryant missed his foul shot, but LSU rebounded and Carmouche hit a layup to make it a two-point game and send the crowd into a frenzy.
Releford, meanwhile, had gone quiet, taking only one shot, a missed floater, during the Tide's collapse.
O'Bryant hit two free throws to tie it up with 54 seconds left, but missed a jumper that could have won it in regulation.
Neither team led by more than two points during the first overtime, and Releford did not shoot until missing a driving floater for the win in the final seconds. Cooper tipped it in as the buzzer sounded, and officials initially counted it, setting off a wild celebration on the court among Alabama players and protests from LSU. The basket was then discounted on video review, forcing a second extra session.
The Tigers scored the first five points of the second overtime on O'Bryant's layup and Andre Stringer's 3, but Releford later tied it on a driving layup as he was fouled.
LSU led 88-85 late in the second OT after O'Bryant followed his offensive rebound with a pair of free throws, but Cooper's 3 forced yet another extra session. Alabama led 90-88 on Nick Jacobs' tip-in early in the final overtime before LSU scored the next six points en route to a dramatic victory that elicited little more than tired hugs in front of the bench when it was done.
Neither team led by more than six in a tightly played first half that saw 13 lead changes and three ties.
Releford scored 14 of his points in the first 20 minutes on a mix of driving layups and mid-range jumpers. He hit six of his first seven shots, including his only two attempts from 3-point range in that span.
His second shot from deep gave 'Bama a 30-29 lead late in the period. O'Bryant's strong move inside briefly put the Tigers back in front, but Trevor Lacey responded with a 3 and then Andrew Steele rattled in a 3 at the horn to put the Tide up 36-31 at halftime.

Matt Gammariello '12
For as long as he can remember, Matthew Gammariello has had a love for numbers. And now that he has secured a job with BAE Systems as a financial analyst, he gets to continue working with numbers – and get paid for it.
Matthew, who will earn a dual degree in financial information & analysis and global supply chain management in May, started actively pursuing positions in leadership and development programs that train the future leaders of the world's major corporations at one of Clarkson's fall Career Fairs.
"BAE's Financial Leadership and Development Program (FLDP) caught my eye when I was researching potential careers going forward," he explains. "One of my professors brought it to my attention and I sought out BAE at the Career Fair, eventually spending some time talking to one of the recruiters about a FLDP position in Washington, D.C. A few weeks later, I was asked to start going through their highly selective interview and hiring process."
To prepare for the phone interview and final interviewing event in Maryland, Matthew used the services available through Clarkson's Career Center, such as "How to interview" and "Resume Building" sessions. He also used the skills he learned as a member of Clarkson's chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO) and in the Honors Program.
He says, "The final interviewing event gave me the chance to discuss the topic of my Honors thesis with one of the vice presidents of BAE. On top of that, many of the other managers and FLDPs brought up my thesis during the multiple interview sessions. Overall, the event showed me that while Clarkson may not be the largest university, its educational system puts it on par with some of the best and largest schools in the nation."
With the job secured, Matthew now looks forward to all that the FLDP entails, including a rotation of job function and location ever year for the next three years. He can rotate to a number of locations around the world in several different job functions and hopes to begin his Master's in about two years, which BAE will fund.
"Not only will I get to travel around, but I will also be exploring the field of finance more in depth and continuing my studies. I am ecstatic about this opportunity," he says.

June 1st was the beginning of hurricane season.
If you live here in Hawaii, a good website is the Hurricane Questions and Answers page of the Department of Emergency Management, City and County of Honolulu. It also suggests what you should prepare in your survival kit. Here is another Hurricane Checklist at KHNL Channel 8.
If you have not stocked your survival kit, now is a good time to do so. Do you have a NOAA Weather Radio with batteries?
A good place to bookmark is the website of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
The time to prepare for a hurricane is well before it happens. During an emergency, Karate students should be calm and focused. Family and friends should be able to rely on a Karate student. Does that describe you?
It is much easier to be calm and focused when you are prepared.

The Porsche 911 and Citroen DS are widely loved automobiles that were both ranked in the top five in the Car of the Century awards at the turn of the millennium. For the love of both cars, Brandpowder decided to create a hybrid 911 DS by taking the best parts of each and creating the perfect car. Led by Stewart Johnson, a former engineer at Inter Box Mechanics, the project was finally realized and the Porsche Citroen 911 DS was born. Although the two cars were totally different in weight, shape, dynamics and horsepower, they managed to pull it off and the final result is undoubtedly impressive. Head here to see the project more in depth.

LS PRO modified initrd
What is an initrd
InitRd: Initial Ram Disk image is a temporary filesystem (ext2) used by the LS during boot up. For the stock box, this system maintains many of the customised scripts installed on the LS. It also checks for system update files and acts accordingly. For the modified systems, it provides a means of entry when no root filesystem is available.
Modified Image
The modified initrd created by lb_worm provides a ram image that supports both the stock system and the modified system. The modified system can be a modified stock or completely new distribution such as Debian or Gentoo.
The modified initrd image also comes equipped with a configuration file boot_options. This file resides within the boot partition (sda1) along with the uImage (UBoot kernel image) and the initrd image. For a modified system, the control files are also placed in sda1. These files are:
- linkstation_release
- hddrootmode
- rootfs_ok
Rather than go into any detail, these files simply provide information of the release, the operational mode of the LS and if the root filesystem is okay.
If hddrootmode is missing on boot-up, then the LS will boot the initrd image. If the root filesystem fails to boot more than three times, then the LS will boot the initrd image.
boot_options file
This is a script that is invoked by the initrd during its execution. This file contains the following information:
## Set to YES if not a stock box, comment out if stock box OTHER_DISTRIBUTION=YES ## Define root path, comment out if stock box ROOTPATH=/boot ## Advanced use only, specify system area format SYSTEM_FORMAT="mkfs.xfs -d agcount=4 -l size=32m" ## Set menu timeout (secs), default is 4. Disable, set to 0 or OFF. For ## EM mode set to EM MENU_TIMEOUT=4 ## Set to YES to delete hdd image following update or NO to leave it REMOVE_HDDROOTFS=NO ## Reset fan as micocontroller does not do this after reboot miconapl -a fan_set_speed stop ## Watch-dog reset to 250 secs miconapl -a system_set_watchdog 250 ## Clear error LED indication miconapl -a led_set_code_information clear ## Indicate it ran miconapl -a bz_imhere 1 b4 a4
Set to YES if a modified or other distribution root filesystem. Default is NO which is stock
Defines the logical filepath for the control files. Default is /etc under the root filesystem partition.
For advanced use only. This does allow the user to modify the format used by the root filesystem. Default is XFS.
Provides control over the amount of time that the intercept menu is displayed. This menu is only available to those with serial connections to the LS. To improve boot time, this can be set to OFF. The default value for this is four seconds. Another use of this parameter is for entry to the initrd on boot-up rather than the root filesystem. For this, set this entry to EM and reboot.
Set to YES so that the root filesystem upgrade image file is removed following successful installation. This effectively removes the large hddroot image filesystem from the boot partition therefore freeing valuable space.
- Remaing commands
These turn off the fan, reset the watchdog to 240 seconds, clear the LED state and play a "I've run" tune.

Warren Buffett began investing in stocks over 70 years ago. At the tender age of 11 years old, the Oracle of Omaha made his first equity purchase. He bought three shares of Cities Service Preferred. He sold his shares early and made a tiny profit. But more importantly, he learned a great lesson about patience as he watched shares in the company soar much higher. Over the years, Buffett has shared this wisdom with other investors.
One of the most important investments to learn from the billionaire phenom has everything to do with leverage.
"When leverage works, it magnifies your gains. Your spouse thinks you're clever, and your neighbors get envious," explained Buffett in his 2010 shareholder letter. "But leverage is addictive. Once having profited from its wonders, very few people retreat to more conservative practices. And as we all learned in third grade — and some relearned in 2008 — any series of positive numbers, however impressive the numbers may be, evaporates when multiplied by a single zero. History tells us that leverage all too often produces zeroes, even when it is employed by very smart people."
Primarily, Buffett was talking about leverage and how it relates to personal debt, but you can apply this same principle to ETFs – exchange traded funds – which is a relatively new product in the financial world. A leveraged ETF ultimately equates to a regular ETF, but it has impatience and greed written all over it. This particular type of exchange traded fund looks to deliver multiples of the underlying index's performance, or whatever benchmark they happen to track. Some ETFs will track broad indices, and there are others that track certain commodities and sectors. A leveraged ETF specifically seeks to magnify the returns by using derivatives, Wall Street's favorite financial drug, as well as swaps and futures contracts.
For day traders, a leveraged ETF has quite a meaningful purpose. But as a long-term investor, you're better off steering clear. As an example, let's come to the conclusion that an index starts with a value of 100. A leveraged ETF looking to double its return starts at $100 in this example. If the index sees a 10 point drop on day one, the value drops to 90 points, or 10%. In this theory, the leveraged ETF actually loses 20% on the same day, because the drop in the index is felt twofold. Your shares will only be worth $80 now. Let's say on day to the index rebounds and goes up 10%. That will make the index value go to 99. Even though the second index will increase by 20%, the 20% addition from $80 only turns out to be $96.
On a daily basis, the leveraged ETF achieved its goal. But it was not capable of keeping pace over two days. For a buy-and-hold investor, this gap will grow significantly over time, and it can be a serious issue in volatile markets. An investor could potentially suffer significant losses even though long-term performance for the index could show a gain.
Leveraged ETF's dangers have been highlighted over the years recently, but investors and brokers are still learning things the hard way. Century Securities and Stifel Nicolaus were recently ordered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in the amount of over $1 million because of unsuitable sales of inverse or leveraged ETFs. A total of 65 customers were involved between the two brokers based out of St. Louis.
The Chief of Enforcement and Executive Vice President of FINRA, Brad Bennett, explained, "The complexity of leveraged and inverse exchange-traded products makes it essential for securities firms and their representatives to understand these products before recommending them to their customers. Firms must also conduct reasonable due diligence on these and other complex products, sufficiently train their sales force and have adequate supervisory systems in place before offering them to retail investors."
Between January 2009 and June 2013, FINRA found that the two brokerages mentioned above made inappropriate recommendations to purchase these nontraditional ETFs to specific customers and some of the representatives didn't fully understand the unique features or risks involved with inverse and leveraged ETFs. These particular customers had conservative investment objectives; they experienced net losses and suffered more than others.
Prior to investing in a leveraged ETF, it would be wise to really consider what might happen if you plan to hold the shares for longer than one day. Do the extra risks fit in with your financial goals? These ETFs also have higher fees than traditional ETFs in many cases.
We all want to build wealth quickly. Like Warren Buffett, it may take decades to accumulate the amount you desire.

I have chosen to keep pumping too, instead of using cows milk. My 18 mos son is up a lot at night nursing. We have moved to not nurse in the 4 hours before I have to get up for work, rest helps make milk too.
In my experience it seems to be that I have to eat a lot of calories, (enough to slightly gain) to keep my supply up. If I start to loose any weight at all my supply tanks. Remember, if you aren't getting REM sleep, then your body is keeping your metabolism up all night.

23 May 2012, Minova: IDPs gather in front of a building provided by local health authorities. Each night the building provides shelter for some 100 displaced families. Credit: OCHA-Bukavu/Philippe Kropf
Halfway through 2012, the main UNICEF-OCHA programme to help displaced people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has nearly exhausted its financial resources.
The humanitarian crisis in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is characterized by huge movements of internally displaced people (IDPs) who have been uprooted from their homes by armed attacks or the threat of violence. South Kivu Province is the most seriously affected, with over 856,000 people internally displaced by the end of March 2012.
One of the most important ways of helping these IDPs is through the Programme for Rapid Response to Movements of Population (RRMP)—a fund jointly managed by OCHA and UNICEF. In 2012, the RRMP planned to help 1.2 million people who were newly displaced or returning home after displacement in North Kivu, South Kivu, Province Orientale and Katanga. The plans included programmes to provide water, shelter, sanitation and hygiene items, basic household supplies and emergency education. Resources were allocated according to the estimated IDP figures, UNICEF's funding priorities and the Humanitarian Action Plan for DRC.
However, six months into the year, this vital programme is running out of cash, while IDPs are in urgent need of aid.
"The RRMP has demonstrated that it is a critical response tool," says Florent Méhaule, OCHA acting Head of Office in South Kivu. "We don't know what the rest of the year holds. Every effort must be made so that there is no gap in funding."
Most of those displaced in South Kivu fled their villages with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Generally they do not find refuge in camps, but stay with host families who are often distant relatives. These temporary arrangements can stretch family resources to the limit, and the RRMP takes this into account.
In Kalehe, the RRMP caters to about 100,000 people living in 19,000 households through its NGO partners International Rescue Committee and the Italian-based Fondazione AVSI. These organizations targeted some 150,000 people with aid distributions in February and planned more for this month, but this will push the programme towards bankruptcy.In Fizi and Shabunda, some 35,000 IDPs and 65,000 returnees also need help. An estimated US$2.5 million is urgently required to meet basic needs for the rest of this year.
The RRMP is supported by a consortium of donors, which in 2012 include the Pooled Fund, ECHO, and the Governments of the United States, Sweden, Canada and Japan. The programme can also receive funding from the Central Emergency Response Fund. The RRMP provided basic household goods, emergency education, and sanitation and hygiene support to nearly 1.5 million people in 2011 in eastern DRC.

This book is great for people that want to learn about the wild horses. There are not drawings but there are photos. These pictures make the book look more interesting. The author also makes the book sound like you're right there. I would recommend this book to anyone who takes an interest in horses.
I recommend this book because it is a very good book on wild horses. This book would be great for anyone who enjoys horses.

New faculty put teaching first
James Madison University's commitment to teaching has secured 124 new faculty members for the 2012-13 academic year, 77 of them full time.
At an orientation event hosted by the Center for Faculty Innovation, new faculty cited JMU's reputation for quality instruction as a primary factor in their decision to come to Madison.
JMU "aligns very well with my focus, which is having one-on-one experiences with students who are engaged in their education," said Dr. Mary O'Donnell, an assistant professor of foreign languages, literatures and cultures who came to JMU from South Dakota State University. "There's a high quality of student here, and also I'm interested in working with preparing (foreign language) teachers, and I know that at JMU teaching is very important."
O'Donnell will be teaching Spanish language classes in the fall as well as a graduate-level course on the methodology of second-language instruction.
Dr. Roger Tomhave, assistant professor of art and art education, has first-hand knowledge of JMU's K-12 teacher education programs, having recently retired as fine arts coordinator for Fairfax County Public Schools, where he oversaw the hiring of new teachers in the areas of dance, theater, the visual arts and music. "We hire about 60 of these teachers a year," he said. "The most teachers we hired from any one university was James Madison University."
Tomhave will teach two courses in the fall in the art education program. "I'm very pleased to be here and to be a part of the great (teacher) training program that exists here at James Madison," he said.
Other new faculty members were drawn to JMU for the balance afforded between teaching and research.
"Some of the other universities that were looking at me were research heavy, but JMU gave me the opportunity to build relationships with the students and help prepare them for their future careers," said Dr. James A. Williams, an assistant professor in the School of Hospitality, Sport and Recreation Management. "I hope to be a spark … that inspires them to go out and be the best leaders possible."
Williams came to JMU from Iowa State University, where he recently completed his Ph.D. and taught courses in the school's hospitality management program. His research interests include the link between participation in youth sports and the development of leadership skills.
Nursing instructor Chris Fasching-Maphis will return to JMU in the fall, this time in front of the classroom. She began her undergraduate degree at Madison in the 1980s and recently completed her master's degree in nursing. She has worked at area hospitals and health care agencies, most recently at Augusta Health and the Community Services Board in Harrisonburg.
"I'm very much looking forward to shifting gears into the faculty role," Fasching-Maphis said, adding that what she looks forward to the most is simply "getting started."

Releves and Plies with Balance
Grand Plie and Warrior II with Side Bend
Standing Torso Stretch
The most rewarding types of exercise often accomplish several things simultaneously: building strength while encouraging flexibility, for instance, or improving balance while pumping your heart. The BalleCore program is a great case in point. The technique combines the centering and toning benefits of yoga, the core-focused approach of Pilates, and the grace and flexibility of ballet -- but you don't have to be a dancer or a yogi to enjoy it.
Created by Molly Weeks, a certified Pilates instructor with a background in dance and yoga and author of "The BalleCore Workout," the program offers an accessible way to tone and stretch while improving your alignment. "BalleCore couples strength with fluidity and includes movements you don't always get to do in real life," says Weeks. "BalleCore expands on core strengthening by incorporating fluid motion -- side bends, spiral motions, and rotations -- that open up the body and feel really good."
To facilitate this full-body workout, Weeks incorporates a 4-foot-long wooden staff, or "barre." Held in various positions as part of the exercises, it helps promote balance, stability, and good posture. BalleCore sells this optional tool designed specifically for the program, but Weeks says a 4-foot-long, 1 1/4-inch dowel from your local hardware store makes a suitable stand-in. (Or try just holding onto a sturdy chair for balance.) The added challenge of using a tool can help improve balance and overall muscle tone.
Improves posture, focuses the mind, creates alignment, opens up the body, and releases tension.
