Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

How safe is Great Lakes fish for consumption?
Professor Thomas Holsen and a team of researchers and engineers are investigating and identifying the concentration levels of harmful pollutants in freshwater lake fish. This will aid public health officials in developing appropriate and protective fish consumption advisories. The goal of this five-year project is to determine levels of mercury, PCBs, dioxin and other harmful chemicals in lake fish.
Dairy Waste as Bioenergy
Associate Professor Stefan Grimberg and Professor Susan Powers are among a group of Clarkson faculty investigating dairy waste as a source of bioenergy. The group has been collaborating with a North Country dairy farm to build an anaerobic manure digester. The system will convert dairy farm waste — cow manure, waste silage and cheese whey — into electricity and heat that can be used to power the farm. The digested manure will also be high in nutrients and can be used to offset fertilizer cost. The researchers will work to improve the system, determine its overall environmental impact and optimize heat and power generated for farm use.
Diesel Exposure & Effects on Children
Diesel exhaust is a known human carcinogen, yet millions of school children are exposed to this pollution source every day as they ride a school bus. Associate Professor Andrea Ferro is working with a group of faculty to characterize the exposure of children to diesel exhaust. The team is also working to develop methods for measuring lung function and cardiopulmonary effects of diesel exposure in children.
The geotechnical program operates the Geomechanics Research Laboratory which houses a wide array of unique experimental systems to conduct both laboratory and field testing of geotechnical problems. Learn More
The Structural Engineering Laboratory contains a 25-foot by 45-foot strong floor with two 20-foot wide by 15-foot high reaction walls. The horizontal tie-downs of the reaction walls have a design capacity of 100 kip each and an overturning moment of 1,200 kip-ft per four-foot length at the top of the wall. Learn More
The hydraulics laboratory contains two multipurpose 12-foot flumes and a 55-foot variable slope flume for multiphase flow studies. A wave basin 50 feet long, six feet wide, and two feet six inches deep also serves as a fixed bed channel. A towing carriage is mounted on the 50-foot basin and is used for calibration purposes. Learn More
Cold Regions
The goal is to identify and research the effects of the cold region environment and to advance scientific knowledge and practice in the engineering solution of cold regions problems. The associated faculty, by this mandate, engages in original research in cold regions engineering, relevant to any part of the broad field of civil engineering. Learn More
Clarkson graduate students are not limited to research in Potsdam, N.Y. In fact, their graduate research can take them all over the world.
Structural engineering graduate student Ogugwa Uzorka traveled to Antarctica as part of a research team led by Professor John Dempsey. The scientists studied how first-year Antarctic sea ice cover fractures in response to stresses applied by wind, ocean waves and temperature.
Graduate student Margaret A. Knuth participated in a 2005 expedition in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. She recorded sea ice observations and helped scientists from the International Whaling Commission and other international research groups on the ship. Most recently, Knuth has completed a one-year NSF Office of Polar Program as a Knauss Fellow.

by Greg » Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:08 pmThis movie was top notch fun and awesomeness!
by Pink_Orchid » Sat Jul 13, 2013 12:17 amI wept tears of joy at it's awesomeness. Comparing it to ID4 is worthy (until the planned sequel ruins it). Michael Bay should retire now to save himself any more embarrassment at being schooled in the art of big smash 'em robot movies.
Also Godzilla better step it up next year, the bar has been raised.
by Pink_Orchid » Fri Jul 19, 2013 12:06 amWatched it again, this time in IMAX 3D. The 3D isn't necessary viewing but the IMAX is. Plus we got free posters. Win-win.
by Zechs » Fri Jul 19, 2013 1:33 am
Yes mine is on the wall. I have another for a friend who wanted that IMAX poster.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Fri Jul 19, 2013 7:12 amWell, it doesn't seem to be nearly as successful as Independence Day and cost much, much more. Blame it on a marketing campaign that only catered to the Comicon crowd (who would have gone to see it opening weekend regardless) but studio execs are rapidly tightening the purse strings on huge budget films like this as a result of all these failures recently unless they're already a well-established money-maker.
Or as the gentlemen behind me in the theater said during the preview, "What the fuck is a kay-joo?"
Bad title, and a marketing campaign that did absolutely nothing to sell the movie to the larger audience it needed to be successful. The trailer I saw was largely incomprehensible to anyone who wasn't familiar already with the sci fi/Japanese themes in it.
Not to invite the usual anti-Warner Bros harangues, but I am surprised they would make such an obvious mistake promoting a big film. On the other hand, Disney let legal tangles inspire them to call a movie "John Carter" and market it similarly badly. But Del Toro could have given any title he wanted to P Rim, there was no need to settle on a clunker. And since the OP invites this comparison: Independence Day. Pacific Rim. One title is epic, the other is septic.
by Zechs » Fri Jul 19, 2013 9:58 am
I wouldn't call it a straight bomb. The movie is making monster dough outside the US and hasn't even hit Japan or China YET. Movie's gonna make a profit.
by outsider » Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:15 amI wonder if DreamWorks would have sued if they used the title "Monsters Vs. Robots"
by Pink_Orchid » Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:22 amThe marketing, I agree, sucked. Other than the teases from comic con the last few years that insured the base crowd would see it, it's relying on word of mouth. And that doesn't seem to be helping here.
I left the theater wanting a little Gipsy Danger to fight my Godzilla figures. And I wanted a t-shirt. Even if the movie didn't do well in the US it should have been merchandising gold. Del Toro fails on that mark. He is so controlling over the products that hardly any were made. Only three figures released before the movie? They should have had a whole line of Jaegars and Kaiju in the 6" range on shelves months ago. I guess NECO is to blame for the lack of tees, bags, and all the other low dollar items that should be at stores. And not just Hot Topic.
by chap22 » Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:48 amis this movie great? NO.
is this movie good? maybe just barely.
but is this movie fun? oh HELLS yes. I felt like a 9-year-old kid watching Godzilla on the Sunday afternoon movie on TV again, only this movie was about a million times better-looking. my buddy and I who went to see it Wednesday semi-MST3K'd it for most of the movie (oh look that's just like Top Gun. oh look they pulled that scene almost straight from Armageddon. oh look...), but it wasn't in a bad way, it was more like "oh look, that's just like Top Gun...only with giant fucking robots fighting giant fucking monsters!!!!!" we had a fucking blast.
it will not win any awards. it probably won't make enough money to justify a sequel or earn del Toro any more HUGE budgets anytime soon. but it is more than well worth the $10 to go see it in the theater if you are or ever have been 13 years old and/or ever loved giant monster disaster movies. just a helluva fun movie if you're willing to turn off your brain and just be entertained.
by Zechs » Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:49 am
It just hit 100 million this week globally and still hasn't opened in other areas of the world.
by sdsichero » Fri Jul 19, 2013 12:31 pm
Though I would understand how some might not find it appealing (it was a notch too brodude for me), I don't see how it is incomprehensible. Giant monsters vs. giant robots. Is it really that hard to understand?
King Kong and Beast from 20,000 Fathoms preceded Godzilla. Though giant robots weren't as popular in Western culture as in Japan, they do exist.
by sdsichero » Fri Jul 19, 2013 12:32 pm
Maybe not. However, technically there were some nice effects.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Fri Jul 19, 2013 1:21 pm
I only saw one trailer, but IMO bad editing and choice of shots did not give the action the sense of scale it should have. A giant robot is cool, sure, but a close up of part of a giant robot does not give you the same dynamics. It was a shitty trailer in that it didn't communicate well to the larger audience. Monster movies used to be popular 50 years ago, sure, but they were still a niche market.
Are you seriously comparing it to King Kong, or the conditions to how movies were made and marketed in back then? I can't take you seriously, I'm afraid. This isn't 1933 and movies are promoted quite differently today, to a different audience, under different viewing conditions. No one told people they needed to "turn off their brains" to enjoy a movie, for starters.

Lee Schrager Daily Life
A Day in the Life of Lee Schrager
Lee Schrager is the mastermind behind the nation's biggest food events, including the upcoming New York City Wine and Food Festival. Here's what he did on Saturday, Aug. 20.
6:00 a.m.: I was up and ready for the day in East Hampton, waiting for my yoga instructor to begin our morning class. I've been doing yoga at the house for the last three Summers with Corey, who is the ex-boyfriend of my regular yoga instructor in Miami. I've been coming out to the Hamptons since 1980, when I worked in the cheese department of the first Dean & Deluca on Newton Lane, and used to spend my days at the beach with Edie Beale (of Grey Gardens fame). We've rented this same house for the past six Summers — it's a gorgeous run-down farm house on a great piece of property, literally three minutes from the center of town.
7:45 a.m.: I headed over to Levain Bakery in Wainscott to pick up some goodies for our house guests. I try and keep away from Levain if possible, as it's truly addicting. This morning, I waited in line behind Russell Simmons, who literally buys every one of the mini brioche I wanted. I ended up bringing home some scones, blueberry muffins, Nutella-stuffed sourdough rolls and, of course, some walnut chocolate chip cookies for later in the day.
10:00 a.m.: I went over to Bridgehampton for a meeting at the Gilt City Hamptons House regarding the afternoon's Burger Blood Bath that Ben Leventhal, from NBC Feast, is producing. I am the Chief Lifestyle Advisor for Gilt City and the Hamptons House is a project I proposed months ago, that includes bringing out over 30 of the nation's top chefs to cook at the house this August. The morning meeting was to discuss set-up, weather back-up plans, sponsorship fulfillment, and registration.
Keep reading to find out whose beach Lee goes to!
12:00 p.m.: I met with a wine supplier at Bobby Van's regarding the premiere of a new wine that Southern Wine & Spirits is launching at the 2011 NYC Wine & Food Festival in September. We are discussing some strategies around the festival weekend to gain maximum exposure for this new product that I think is going to be huge.
2:00 p.m.: I headed to the beach in Sagaponack for a few hours with my partner and house guests. Our dear friend, Katie Lee, lives in a great oceanfront home that has been our own private beach club for the past four Summers, which has been a saving grace, as it's impossible to even find beach parking on a beautiful weekend. We packed up all the leftovers from dinner at Red Farm (Chodorow's newest NYC rest) to eat on the beach. The clay pot chicken and rib eye with bok choy were even better than they were two nights ago at the restaurant!
3:00 p.m.: I go back over to the Gilt City Hamptons House for the Burger Blood Bath. Although judging doesn't start until 5:00 p.m. (I am a judge along with Kate Krader, Pat LaFreida, and Marc Murphy), I want to be there early to say hello to the chefs and sponsors who should just be arriving. We have a great line-up of chefs this year: Wylie Dufresne from wd~50, Michael White from Marea, Zak Chodorow and Cobi Levy from Niko, and Mark Vidal of Boqueria. I do my best not to eat any of the burgers during the reception, but eventually I have to give in, as they all look outrageous and smell so good! I manage to eat just 1/4 of each of the eight burgers, though that still amounts to well over two full burgers I am certain. Mo Koyfman wins the competition for the third time in a row, which entitles him a coveted slot at the NYCWFF Burger Bash.
7:00 p.m.: I head over to Sag Harbor and Tutto il Giorno restaurant for an AMFAR benefit that Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin are hosting. Despite thinking I can't eat one more thing, I manage to put a dent in the lavish buffet while downing a few Pimm's Cups and chatting up the crowd. Anderson and Kathy arrive just after 8 p.m. — we go right up to them and say a quick hello, talk about his giggle attack on the air earlier in the week, take some photos, and sneak out.
9:00 p.m.: We're driving to the East Hampton Grill for our dinner reservation when I realize that I can't possibly eat one more thing. I ask my carload of friends if they feel the same and they all break into a loud applause. We head back to our house, after calling to cancel our reservation, which I was scared to do, as I begged to get it. Once at home, we eat some of the peach and blubbery cobbler left over from Claudia Fleming's North Fork Table dinner at the Hamptons House the night before and crack open a few bottles of Nicolas Feuillatte Rose Champagne. Oh yes — we found some Moose Tracks ice-cream from Scoop Du Jour in the freezer and add that to the stunning cobbler.
11:00 p.m.: Just before heading to the bedroom, I start adding up the calories from the day. I swear that I will go on the Blue Print Cleanse for at least three days this week, before taking a Tylenol PM to help me sleep from the sugar high I am now on.

Next Monday, Aug. 19, all 56 Nassau County public high school football teams will begin preparations for the upcoming season, scheduled to open Thursday, Sept. 12 with most games kicking off at 4:30 p.m. No Saturday games will take place in Week 1 due to Yom Kippur.
Farmingdale, Garden City, Lawrence and Roosevelt are out to defend county championships. Head coach Joe Martillotti's Golden Tornadoes of Lawrence, seeded at the top of Conference III and led by record-setting quarterback Joe Capobianco and explosive Jordan Fredericks, will attempt to become the first team to win the Rutgers Cup in back-to-back seasons since Hempstead in 1985-86.
Farmingdale is the only defending champ not ranked atop its respective conference. The Dalers, who open with a trip to Plainview, are seeded No. 2 behind Massapequa. Garden City opens at home versus MacArthur, Lawrence travels to Manhasset, while Roosevelt hosts Valley Stream North in a rematch of last year's Conference IV title game.
The first three days of practice are non-contact, with helmets and cleats the only equipment permitted. Protective pads and blocking devises will be used beginning Monday, and game scrimmages can be held after the completion of 12 practices.
Developmental League continues
Following the 2011 season, the executive board and athletic council of Section VIII, Nassau's governing body approved the creation of a Relief Developmental League in football for two years.
The six public schools — Port Washington, Great Neck North, Great Neck South, Roslyn, Jericho and Friends Academy — that comprised the majority of the league had a combined record of just 5-35 in 2011. Long Island Lutheran and St. Dominic also competed in the newly formed league last year, and results were mixed. Long Island Lutheran and Port Washington set the pace, followed by Jericho.

Albion Slip-On Stud Guard
The Albion Slip on Stud Guard is lightweight and easily attached to any girth, short or long complementing any saddle. The neoprene has a springy padding whilst being non-absorbent with smooth edges in direct contact with the horse. This durable stud guard has small holes which have been carefully positioned to allow the water and sweat to exit ensuring comfort for maximum performance. One size only. Available in black or havana.
About Albion - Why choose Albion?
ALBION (meaning 'old England') turly epitomises traditional manufacturing at its very best!
In 1985 Albion® Saddlemakers was founded. Paul and Sherry Belton combined the perfect balance of tradition, revolutionary design, technology and precision fitting when they applied their own equestrian knowledge and experiences to aspirational and functional saddle making and fitting.
Through constant research and development, with the support of many of the world's leading international riders and trainers, Albion's ultimate goal was to design, manufacture and supply superior competition saddles, bridles and accessories worldwide that maximised horse and rider comfort, minimised interference and enhanced performance.
Chairman of Albion Paul Belton, past president of the Society of Master Saddlers, originally trained in design engineering and carries forward a real passion for technical research and development. This translates perfectly into the design and manufacturing of technical competition saddles. Alongside his engineering background, Paul is an experienced and talented rider who was classically trained by Ernst Bachinger the former Director of Training at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Paul has also competed on the National circuit including Wembley and Hickstead.
Sherry Belton, Managing Director of Albion, has an equally impeccable equestrian history having trained with dressage specialist Franz Rochowansky of the Spanish Riding School and competed successfully in both dressage and eventing. Referred to in the industry as 'Saddle Fitter to the Stars', Sherry has fitted saddles for many Olympians and professional riders worldwide for over 30 years including Ernst Bachinger, the Balkenhol family, the Bechtolsheimer family, Emile Faurie, William Fox-Pitt, Alain François, Sylvia Loch, Hans Peter Minderhoud, Margit Otto-Crépin, Herbert Rehbein, Guenter Seidel, Laura Tomlinson, Thomas Voss and George Williams.
These riders trust Sherry's exceptional saddle fitting experience and Albion's ability to correctly fit and find saddle fitting solutions for their horses.
Today, the family business, passing into the second generation of the Belton family, continues to flourish. This is evidenced by the exciting launch of the new brand extension Albion Couture House and the new division Albion Sporting in 2011. Remaining true to Paul and Sherry's original values and beliefs embedded deep within the company 30 years ago, Albion Saddlemakers continues to lead the way into the future of innovative saddle design, manufacturing and precision saddle fitting as an exclusive British manufacturer.
Internationally renowned brand Albion Saddlemakers is recognised as one of the leading British saddle designers and manufacturers in the world.

The German housing market is characterised by strong price and rent increases. The uncertain situation on the financial markets and low interest rate levels are increasing the demand for residential real estate for owner-occupancy or as a capital investment. This trend is particularly evident in urban agglomerations, large cities, university towns and in popular holiday destinations. This is the third Engel & Völkers "Residential Real Estate Market Report for Germany". The comprehensive analysis examines the development of residential areas and property prices in 2015/2016 for 75 locations.
Freehold apartments: new top square meter prices in certain locations
"In more than two-thirds of the cities we looked at, we identified price increases for freehold apartments in very good and good residential locations", says Kai Enders, member of the executive board of Engel & Völkers AG. Compared to the previous year, both entry-level prices and peak prices of apartments increased significantly in metropolitan areas. In Hamburg's prime locations, for example, the average peak price per square meter climbed from 16,000 euros/m2 in 2014 to 18,000 euros in the first half of 2015. In very good residential areas of Berlin, the peak values remained unchanged at 15,000 Euro/m², which corresponds to the levels of the previous year. In the first half of 2015, the minimum prices for freehold apartments in good residential areas amounted to at least 3,100 euro/m² (2014: 2,500 euro/m²). Because of the high price level in the most popular residential areas, mid-market and standard residential areas were also becoming increasingly attractive. The prices in these areas increased significantly, especially in the university towns.
Single- and double-occupancy homes: absolute purchase prices of up to 13.5 million euros
Entry-level prices have also climbed for single- and double-occupancy homes. Compared to the previous year, the lower price limit for very good residential areas in Munich rose by 200,000 euros in the first half of 2015. The average peak price in the Bavarian state capital also increased slightly in the past year to 13.5 million euros. In a Germany-wide comparison for the first half of 2015, the highest prices for single- and double-occupancy homes were recorded in Munich.
Transaction volume for residential homes in 2014: Hamburg cracks the one billion mark
The scarce supply of residential space in many areas and the corresponding demand surplus is reflected in the transaction volume for single- and double-occupancy homes. While the number of properties sold in Germany in 2014 decreased by around two percent to 28.831, the sales revenue for the same period rose by 5.7 percent to around 10.2 billion euros in the areas under review by Engel & Völkers. In the transaction volume ranking for single- and double-occupancy homes (2014), Hamburg still ranks first and was the only location in Germany with a sales revenue in excess of 1.4 billion euros. Following in second place is Munich, with a transaction volume of around 966 million euros.
Transaction volume for residential apartments in 2014: the front-runners are Munich, Berlin and Hamburg
In the transaction volume ranking for freehold apartments in 2014, Munich leads with a total turnover of around 4.05 billion euros. Berlin is in second place with around 3.78 billion euros, followed by Hamburg. The Hanseatic city has increased its prior-year earnings by 11.4 percent to about 1.99 billion euros. In the top ten, the biggest leap forward was taken by Stuttgart, which moved up in the rankings from eighth to sixth place. The Baden-Württemberg metropolis achieved a revenue increase of 22.4 percent, the highest growth rate of the top-ranked locations. The top ten also includes the growing cities of Leipzig and Dresden, which are becoming increasingly popular as residential locations, especially for young people between the ages of 20 and 35 years.
Outlook: Excess demand is leading to rising residential real estate prices
In the view of Engel & Völkers, the current development in the German housing market will almost certainly continue in the future for all reviewed locations. The growing demand for residential property, which exceeds the number of building completions, will continue to lead to price increases in many German cities.
The e-book "Residential Real Estate Market Report for Germany 2015/2016″ is available here.

Hey Guys (and Ladies),
i'd like to have an explanation why new players are deliberately placed at a disadvantage by the game.
On my server there is an event which only takes place in Nightmare Mode. Obviously that means that only players in Nightmare Mode can participate. Taking into consideration that the participating players are all most likely strong players who have completed the Normal Mode and therefore at least some kind of Card Deck that has a certain quality and now get max level feeder cards in the event, their progress is improved by a Nightmare only event.
From an equalization point of view it would be better if also low level players which are still in Normal mode can benefit from an event as they have no access to max level feeder cards, which further aggravates the difficulties in the arena, guild raids, guilds battles etc.
Maybe you can share your opinion. Or just call me a whiner. ;-)
btw for me it's somewhat double troublesame as I am almost done with the tenth city, but will not be done in time ...
thanks in advance

Ok so I have been only breastfeeding today...my poor baby hasn't fallen asleep like he usually does...he has been working much harder at nursing and it takes him a long time and switching about 4 or 5 times for him to get sleepy -probably from all the work. I feel like he may be vetting a little more breastmilk from eating this way since he is demanding more strongly and alternating so muc and stimulating more let downs. I have had him on every other hour for about an hour each time. I have been seeing wet diapers though they aren't as saturated as much as usual-maybe one pee compared to three in just 2 hours.
I have spent all day doing this. My baby is very hungry and we just had a feeding. I really want to supplement but I'll hold off until his last feeding of the day.
Honestly I never thought to keep switching sides to stimulate more letdowns. I usually have to keep my focus on getting him to down his supplement so he gets all his food and he gets so angry and tired out because he doesn't like the type or how I supplement.
I ordered another kind of bottle with nipples that are more wide mouthed so we will see if I can get him to start taking a supplement via bottle after breastfeeding. This will be the 4 th bottle nipples type I have tried on him.
I hope this works.e

Wine Project leader Alexandre Julliard, who has worked on the software nearly since its beginning in 1993 and maintained it since 1994, said in an interview yesterday that the beta release is "a matter of days away." He has since updated that forecast and said it would be released on Tuesday, October 25th.

How Does Ferrari Fit Into FIAT Chrysler's New Plans?
- FIAT Chrysler announces grand plans
- Some vehicles will come, some will go
- Business as usual for the most famous Italian car maker
Ferrari. It's arguably the most evocative name in the car business, conjuring up images of beauty, power, money and speed. It might be hard to believe that this famed marque is related to the humble 2014 Chrysler 200 midsize sedan. But it is, thanks to the establishment of a new company, FIAT Chrysler Automotive (FCA). Chrysler filed for bankruptcy in 2009, then Italian car maker FIAT bought a controlling slice. And FIAT owns Ferrari. Even if this connection is only by virtue of a business marriage, the prancing horse is still a part of FCA's recently announced plans for every one of its marques, which encompasses FIAT and Chrysler (of course), plus Jeep, Dodge (including the high-performance SRT sub-brand) and Alfa Romeo.
The big 5-year strategy for FCA concentrates on more pressing needs, such as dealing out merciful deaths to ailing models while pinpointing the areas where new products would work best. Considering this division made a trading profit of around $109 million in the first three months of the year, there isn't much that the marque is doing wrong. It actually wants to limit the volume of cars it makes, deciding to build -- as founder Enzo Ferrari once said -- "one less car than the market demands." Therefore, production for 2014 will be capped at 7,000 to preserve exclusivity and keep resale values strong.
Nevertheless, one new model a year is the intention. This year has already seen the debut of the 2015 California T, a revised version of the marque's entry-level car, costing a mere $200,000 or so. An updated 458 Italia, the Speciale, is expected to follow, at around $235,000. Both machines use V8 engines: The California T enjoys a turbocharged 560 horsepower, while the current 458 Italia develops 570 hp. The engine configuration -- along with a V12, found in the 730-hp F12 Berlinetta -- will remain under those long, sleek hoods. "One new model a year is the strategy we've had in place for a long time," said Jason Harris, director of communications for the company's operations in northern Europe. "So is the retention of V8 and V12 engines ... this is what defines and differentiates Ferrari from our competitors."
Hybrid drivetrains are making their way into this year's Formula One racing series, an arena where Ferrari (which, incidentally, is Italian for blacksmith) has forged a fearsome reputation. Hybrid technology will make its way into the upcoming LaFerrari, and we can assume that other racing-derived technologies will continue to appear in the street cars -- carbon fiber parts, active suspensions, adjustable limited-slip differentials and more turbocharging.
The world-famous Scuderia isn't the only prestigious sports-car badge owned by FCA. Don't forget Maserati, which has cars that are often designed in the same Pininfarina studios and features engines (along with many other parts) that are sourced from Ferrari. By 2018, the motoring world will be blessed with coupe and convertible versions of the voluptuous Alfieri sports car (expected to rival machines such as the Jaguar F-Type) that debuted as a concept earlier this year at the Geneva Auto Show.
When one car door opens, though, another one closes. Soon we'll be bidding arrivederci to the GranTurismo Convertible. The recently redesigned Quattroporte and Ghibli full-size and midsize sedans are sticking around (with hikes in power), and next year should see the introduction of the Levante -- the first ever SUV to be built by Maserati.
What it means to you: Well, here are some things to look forward to when you sell your tech company or develop that killer app.

In issue 77 of Ariadne, we have articles covering a range of topics:
Prince Jacon Igwe discusses the role of a Social Media Librarian in academic libraries, and presents an innovative use of digital billboards to promote the library's and institution's work whilst increasing engagement with students, academics and the public. Social media is being increasingly used by academics to demonstrate their "impact" to funders and management. Having the library engage social media users to help spread the word about relevant University research and resources can therefore also be a demonstrable benefit the library is bringing to their academics.
Ana Margarida Dias da Silva has provided an article on Folksonomies in Archives. It looks at how archives in France have made use of modern web technologies to bring user input and controlled social collaboration into metadata creation for their large numbers of records. These "folksonomies" aim to change users from passive consumers of archive information to active participants in the creaste and maintenance of archive data sets.
Jason Cooper describes how a lightweight temporary library catalogue system was constructed when Loughborough University opened their second campus in London. This version of the catalogue was viewed as a temporary measure for what was effectively a new branch library attached to a previously single site based catalogue. As the University's main library system was to be replaced within a few years, support for multiple sites would be added at that point and so this option reduced configuration and recataloguing requirements in the meantime.
We also have some book reviews: Tanya Butchers reviews, "Library Management in Disruptive Times: Skills and knowledge for an uncertain future" edited by Steve O'Connor, Helen Young reviews, "Dynamic research support for academic libraries" edited by Starr Hoffman, and Adrienne Muir reviews, "Copyright and E-learning: a guide for practitioners", by Jane Secker with Chris Morrison.

Well it is time to renew my driver's license. Oregon has changed their requirements. I have to prove that I am a US citizen. The old hospital certificate of birth no longer proves anything. Plus - I have to prove my name change from my birth, such as my wedding certificate. Both items must be certified by the state. Interesting, when I got my original license way back in the 70's don't remember what I used. Probably the nice certificate that has my little infant footprints on it with the seal from the hospital.
So.......guess what I get to do? I get to order my own birth certificate from Iowa of all things! And - I get to order my own Marriage Certificate from Oregon as I only have a copy. When we got married - also in the 70's - my husband and I lived on 10 acres in a little cabin/shack sort of place. We had a burn pile. I went to town and burned everything I could think of. Wrapping papers & ribbons from the wedding - this and that - and of all things my original Marriage Certificate. Not meaning to of course. Back then I ordered a copy, so a copy is what I got. Not certified. Not good enough!
I suppose it will be nice to have a certified copy of each. Don't worry - I live in the city and do not have burn piles anymore. It's a good thing.

While humans are not notable for hoarding behavior, it is a common response to fear, whether fear of imminent society-wide danger or simple fear of a shortage of some good. When trouble looms (such as civil unrest or natural disaster), people's first instinct is to collect foodstuffs, water, gasoline, and other essentials which they believe, rightly or wrongly, will soon be in short supply.
They also hoard money, especially if they expect deflation, in which falling prices mean that the purchasing power of money will rise. More generally, money hoarding is the accumulation of money (in the form of gold at the origin) by people who avoid to spend it or to invest it in economic projects, because of a risk aversion, or of a preference for liquidity, or of a lack of a better use for the money. A current example is the hoarding by Asiatic central banks of massive amounts of US dollars, resulting from their countries' trade surpluses, in the form of tradable US Treasury securities.
Hoarding of goods can often cause the very shortage which has been feared, and governments sometimes choose to introduce rationing in order to combat hoarding, as well as to reduce consumption and waste. However, those who have successfully hoarded the desired goods will not have to worry about the shortage, whether it was their fault or not. The compulsive collecting of objects is known as pathological or compulsive hoarding, whilst that of animals is known as animal hoarding.
With the advent of personal computers people started hoarding digital data. In 1980s they started storing megabytes of interesting texts, images and software on floppy disks. Two decades later, computer users hoard on their hard disks gigabytes of songs, movies, and software. Even though most of the content is not unique and can be easily downloaded from the Internet, many people enjoy creating large personal collections. Now, the data is slowly migrating to portable devices. For example, a 2004 UK study by Toshiba] found 60% of the owners of portable devices store between 1000 and 2000 music files on them, the equivalent of 100 music CDs [1].
On a larger scale hoarding can be a business strategy similar to monopolisation, where an individual or organization attempts to temporarily control all available supplies of a given good in order to artificially increase the price. This strategy is also known as "cornering the market". In a free market this always results in the company "cornering the market" to lose out to competitors, as the price increases other traders enter the market to capitalize on the increased price, and traders who can't afford the new price use alternate products. The collapse of the Hunt brothers empire resulted from the mistake of trying to "corner" the world silver market.
Hoarding in mental healthEdit
Some people with Obsessive-compulsive disorder and compulsions can develop the habit of hoarding until their accommodation is full of things like old newspapers, clothes, etc to such an extent that they have difficulty moving about their rooms.

(RNN) - President Barack Obama has signed a bill to end the two and a half week government shutdown and the federal government is once again open for business.
By a vote of 285-144, the House passed a bill Wednesday to keep the government funded through the New Year, setting up another possible budget battle in January.
The bill previously made its way through the Senate, where it passed 81-18.
"There's a lot of work ahead of us, including the need to earn back the trust of the American people which we've lost over the last couple of weeks," Obama said, speaking from the White House Wednesday after the Senate vote.
Terms of the deal include funding the government through Jan. 15, 2014, and allows the U.S. Treasury to continue borrowing money through Feb. 7, 2014 - avoiding default. However, the country could watch the a similar drama play out in three months if a long-term budget plan can't be voted upon.
The bill offers back pay to furloughed federal workers. It also means hundreds of thousands of federal workers will return to the office Thursday.
Additionally, a December deadline has been set for lawmakers to create a detailed plan on long-term spending cuts, and include income verification on the healthcare exchanges set up by the government as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
"For today, the relief we hope for is to reopen the government, avoid default, and protect the historic cuts we achieved under the Budget Control Act," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor. "This is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly, but it's far better than what some had sought. Now it's time for Republicans to unite behind other crucial goals."
After speaking with the House Republican caucus, Speaker John Boehner said the GOP leadership would not block the vote and support a Senate agreement created by Sens. Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell.
"We fought the good fight, we just didn't win," Boehner told the caucus.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-TX, said he would not block a Senate vote. Cruz, a tea party favorite, led the charge against the Affordable Care Act during the shutdown, spurring the House Republicans to attach amendments to defund 'Obamacare' that would not pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The bill was passed just before the U.S. reached the debt ceiling, and a day after the Fitch credit rating agency announced they would review and possibly downgrade the U.S. government's AAA rating.
Standard and Poor said the shutdown cost he U.S. economy $24 billion, and if debt ceiling had not been raised, "a default by the U.S. government on its debts would be devastating for markets and the economy and worse than the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008."
The collapse of Lehman Brothers was the beginning of the economic collapse of 2008 and the Great Recession.
With the announcement of the deal before the bill passed, the Dow Jones Industrial average surged 200 points.
Although Wall Street and government workers breathed a temporary sigh of relief, the compromise means the government could be right back in the same situation just after the holidays.
Reid and McConnell resumed negotiations Tuesday evening after Republicans in the House failed to craft legislation a majority of their party could support. Speaker John Boehner wrote two bills in attempt to appease both the moderate and tea party Republicans to end the shutdown. Neither bill made it to the House floor because it did not have enough support to pass.
Tea party Republicans originally tied defunding the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, to a budget bill. But when that became unpopular with voters and focus shifted toward raising the debt ceiling, Republicans began fighting among themselves.
"It's very, very serious," Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, told the New York Times. "Republicans have to understand we have lost this battle, as I predicted weeks ago, that we would not be able to win because we were demanding something that was not achievable.
The shutdown started at midnight, Oct. 1 when Congress failed to pass a budget before the end of the fiscal year.
The shutdown suspended all federal services deemed nonessential, furloughing hundreds of thousands of government employees.
Among the government entities that closed were federally funded museums, such as the Smithsonian, along with the nation's 401 national parks. NASA was almost completely shuttered, except for mission control, which is overseeing operations with the International Space Station.
Shortly after the shutdown, Congress passed and the president signed legislation to ensure members of the military would not see a delay in pay during the shutdown.
A week and a half into the shutdown, a number of states eventually negotiated the temporary reopening of national parks like the Grand Canyon, Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore for the Columbus Day weekend, with the states footing the bill.
Some furloughed workers were recalled during the shutdown, including 800 employees from the FAA, as well as a number of FEMA employees who had to deal with the effects of what was once Tropical Storm Karen.
The House and Senate volleyed a flurry of budget bills back and forth ahead of the Sept. 30 midnight deadline. The Republican-led House pushed for legislation that would fund the government, but strip the president's signature healthcare law, Obamacare, of some of its provisions, something the Democratic-led Senate would not approve.
The impasse led to the first government shutdown in 17 years, with both sides trading blame.
After the shutdown, Republicans proposed to reopen portions of the government with individual measures that would fund national parks, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Washington, DC, government, among others.
White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage called the efforts "piecemeal" and "not serious."
A poll by CNN/ORC International released Oct. 7, a week into the shutdown, shows both parties took a hit from constituents. The poll showed 63 percent were angry at Republicans, 57 percent were angry at Democrats and 53 percent were angry at Obama for their handling of the shutdown.
Passing a budget has been a difficult task in an increasingly partisan Washington in recent years. The last full budget was passed was in 2009. The government has been funded by short-term stopgap solutions since.
The last government shutdown began in December 1995 and lasted for three weeks into early 1996.

Yale's Greg Mangano signs pro deal in Turkey
Yale graduate Greg Mangano signed a professional contract with Antalya of the Beko Turkish Basketball League.
"It's exciting," Mangano said. "I did some research on the area, and it's right on the coast and supposed to be very nice.
"I'm also playing professional ball so that's exciting."
Mangano set Yale's all-time record for blocked shots and finished among the school's all-time leaders in several categories. The 23-year-old from Orange averaged 18.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game his senior year, earning first-team All-Ivy honors.
Mangano boosted his pro stock with a solid stint at the prestigious Portsmouth Invitational Tournament where he averaged 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 block.
But despite the accolades and solid tryouts with several NBA teams he went undrafted in the NBA draft a couple of weeks ago.
"My agent said that if I was European, I would have been drafted 50th," Mangano said. "It's kind of disappointing, but without a doubt the NBA still doesn't respect the level of competition in the Ivy League.
"Then again I had my best games (numbers-wise) against Florida and Wake Forest."
Mangano said he feels that he was "just as good or even better than several players picked in the final dozen NBA selections."
Said Mangano: "The NBA has always been the goal and is still the goal. I have to go over to Turkey and have a good year to prove that I can play against good competition. I just can't have an average year there. I don't have to average 22 points and 14 rebounds, but I also can't score 10 points and grab four rebounds. They also want me to put more weight on, which has always been the case.
"Playing in the NBA summer league was still a possibility, but then I got this offer and I felt it was the best for me," he said. "I could have stayed home and played in the NBA D-League, and I had some very intriguing offers, but I feel that this will be a great place to start (my professional career)."
Mangano, a 6-10 post player with great range, will join a league with a solid American presence. Antalya finished 13th last season in the 16-team league featuring a backcourt of former Villanova stars Scott Reynolds and Corey Fisher.
The Beko League is regarded as one of the top professional leagues in Europe and the same league that tried to lure Kobe Bryant during last year's NBA strike.
Antalya also signed Seton Hall guard Jordan Theodore last week and had been eyeing a deal with the Pirates' Herb Pope.

President Obama's decision that all 30,000 "surge" forces must be out of Afghanistan by the end of next summer is not what US military leaders were hoping to hear Wednesday night – and it portends some difficult choices ahead for on-the-ground commanders.
Those will fall mainly to incoming US commander in Afghanistan, Marine Lt. Gen. John Allen, who is slated to replace Gen. David Petraeus in September. Moreover, by the end of 2014, the US mission in Afghanistan will have transitioned from a combat role to a support role, Mr. Obama told the nation in his speech, which marked a pivot point in the 10-year US campaign in Afghanistan. He did not, however, specify how many US forces would remain in Afghanistan by then.
Obama "is betting that a smaller American force, combined with our NATO and Afghan allies, will be able to continue the counterinsurgency campaign until, by the end of 2014, only a residual presence of American advisers and special forces are required to secure American interests in the region," says John Nagl, president of the Center for a New American Security, a think tank. "He is probably right, but John Allen will have some difficult choices to make about battlefield geometry," military parlance for how and where he arrays his remaining forces.
Pentagon officials have warned that drawing down US troops before Afghan forces are ready to take over the fight against radical Islamist insurgents could threaten the "fragile and reversible gains" that the US military says it has made against the Taliban, particularly in southern Afghanistan.
But the president's timetable offers some flexibility for US commanders. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who had lobbied for a more modest drawdown of 3,000 to 5,000 troops by year's end, made that point in a statement supporting Obama's plan.
"Over the past 18 months our troops have made tremendous progress degrading the capability of the Taliban while enhancing the Afghan security forces. It is critical that we continue to aggressively prosecute that strategy," he said. "I support the President's decision because it provides our commanders with enough resources, time and, perhaps most importantly, flexibility to bring the surge to a successful conclusion."
Pentagon officials were relieved, for example, that Obama did not specify that the 10,000 US troops who must exit Afghanistan by year's end have to be combat troops. Last week, 27 senators (25 Democrats and two Republicans) signed an open letter to Obama demanding a significant troop withdrawal and specifying that exiting troops should not be limited to support troops – such as base engineers and logisticians – but include combat troops.
The majority of surge forces are in southern Afghanistan – restive Helmand Province and the Taliban heartland of Kandahar. The US surge forces, combined with other NATO and Afghan troops, have given commanders an impressive ratio of one security force for every five to ten "military age males" in the general population, according to a US official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak about US military operations. "With those kinds of ratios, anything's possible," he adds.
Whether those gains will hold when US troops begin to depart – in other words, whether troops' 'fragile and reversible gains' are sustainable – will be the true test of US military success in the region, officials say.
"You take a brigade [approximately 5,000 US troops] out of the south, and you risk the reversion of that territory as a sanctuary for insurgents," says Richard Fontaine, a former foreign policy adviser to Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, the Senate Armed Services Committee's top Republican, and a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.
Eastern Afghanistan, where surge forces are fewer, must also be a concern for General Allen. There, US troops face the Haqqani network, which many US military commanders consider to be more deadly than the Taliban – and with closer ties to Al Qaeda.
The Haqqani network also has the benefit of sanctuaries in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan. "Our efforts must also address terrorist safe havens in Pakistan," Obama acknowledged Wednesday night.
"The military has fought very, very hard to make progress in the south and the east of Afghanistan," says Mr. Fontaine. "But with less troops, you have less ground you can cover, less places you can go, less people to fight," he adds. "You're going to have to do some of these same tasks with less people."
For his part, Obama acknowledged Wednesday that there is more work to be done. "This is the beginning, but not the end," he said, "of our effort to wind down this war."

Post subject: Windsurfing re-instated in the Olympics
Just yesterday each country known as a "Member National Authority" voted at ISAF Conference in Dublin, Ireland. Men's and Women's Windsurfing is back in 2016 Rio Olympics. Kiting is out. Thanks to all the folks who signed the petition (over 32,000 strong) and participated in the fight since May.
It was never against kite board racing or kiting but rather not by eliminating the Windsurfing Class in the Olympics. ISAF Council should have eliminated one of the fixed mast class if Kite Board Racing was all the ready for the Olympics.
I have suggested that Beach Olympics would be a great Olympic sport: windsurfing races, slalom, and freestyle, kiting freestyle and races, SUP paddling races and SUP Windsurfing, beach multihulls, and possibly surfing along with Beach Volleyball.

Why does it have to be one or the other? I don't kite, but I do appreciate it as a sport, just like as a skier I appreciate snow boarding. In the winter sports they made room for snowboarding without taking out skiing. WTF?

Post subject: Re: Windsurfing re-instated in the Olympics
That is very good news
As far as kiters ... well ... the kiting lobby decided to deliberately target windsurfing for elimination in the presentation of the case for being in the Olympics. Unfortunately, for them, the plan to eliminate windsurfing backfired and now the Kites don't even get a demonstration event. It kind of serves them right at some level .. but ... it would be great if windsurfing could select a board a bit better than the RS-X for 2020.

Good news indeed and my signed petition (perhaps) count. Here is what ISAF said:
Olympic Events And Equipment
The Olympic events and equipment was high on the agenda of the ISAF Council and after hearing the reports from the 2012 ISAF events and the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition, business moved on to discussing submissions.
23 submissions relating to the events and equipment for Rio 2016 were received by ISAF in advance of the Conference. In accordance with the ISAF Regulations, before the detail of any of these particular submissions could be discussed, Council were required to vote on a motion to re-open the debate on the subject. The Regulations specify that 75% of members must agree to the motion.
The submissions were presented as six proposals and Council asked to vote on them in terms of the specific changes they proposed. The first proposal grouped together the submissions that only dealt with men's kiteboarding and women's kiteboarding (020-12, 025-12, 027-12, 050-12, 051-12, 052-12, 053-12, 054-12, 055-12, 056-12, 057-12, 058-12 and 062-12). 26 Council members voted in favour and 12 were against.
Proposal 2, which featured Submission 063-12, related to Men's Kiteboarding, Women's Kiteboarding and 2nd One Person Dinghy - Finn. 14 Council members voted in favour and 23 were against and 1 abstained.
Proposals 3, 4, 5 & 6 relating to Submissions 064-12, 065-12, 071-12 and 094-12 respectively did not receive the required proposer and seconder around the table so were not considered.
With 38 possible votes, the 75% requirement was not achieved on either proposal so the events and equipment as approved in May 2012 remain for Rio 2016.
However, at the ISAF General Assembly part of the business for the 106 Member National Authorities (MNAs) who were present was to review any regulations made or amended in any substantive way by Council since the last Ordinary Meeting which was in November 2011.
ISAF had been notified of three amendments proposed by MNAs which concerned the first two lines of Regulation 23.1.4 (Men's and Women's Kiteboarding).
As defined in the Articles of ISAF, decisions at the General Assembly shall be taken by a simple majority of votes of those present and entitled to vote. There were 114 possible voters, including the ISAF President and Vice-Presidents.
After a lengthy debate the MNAs approved the first proposal which reinstated Men's and Women's Boards - RS:X.
ISAF Regulation 23.1.4 now reads:
Men's Board - RS:X
Women's Board - RS:X

This is very good news. Building on what the others have said above, Windsurfing is a good sport for entry level youth sailors. Kiting is not an easy sport to teach the young, because they cannot appreciate the dangers of kiting without prior wind experience. I think it would be foolish to put your 12 year old son on a kite, whereas an 8 year old can comfortably windsurf.
I also agree on the need for a different board format. Having options could make the sport a more interesting event.
We also need to help attract more youth to our sport before it withers and dies. All manufacturers should be involved in this.

The Eddie Bauer First Ascent Alchemist 40L may be most versatile pack available, due to its ability to transform itself to fit a wide range of backcountry needs. In standard formation, the pack swallows the full gamut of outdoor supplies, thanks to a wide-mouth zippered entry that provides easy access to a padded interior with simple, smart compartments. Additional external gear organization stores trekking poles, ice axes, and the like. Off on a longer trek? Unzip the Alchemist's top portion, uncover the hideaway lid, and the 40-liter pack morphs into a 55-liter one for much larger loads (there's also a model that changes from 30 liters to 45 liters). You could, as we did, expand the bag to 55 liters in order to hump a tent, sleeping bag, and supplies to base camp, and then compress it down to 40 for a light-and-fast summit push. Or, you could use it on a hike one day, and at the gym the next. Or…you get the idea.
And whatever the activity, the Alchemist can handle it – the pack's tough, water-resistant ripstop fabric stood up to late spring storms, slides down granite faces, and overall harsh treatment on a slew of trails. Noteworthy, too, is its foam frame, which not only helped absorb the shock of trails, but also our rears at the end of day, since it can be detached from the pack and used as a splint, sleeping pad, or makeshift camp seat. This multi-purpose pack should be a staple in anyone's quiver, and may very well replace all the rest already in there. [$180; eddiebauer.com]

A few weeks ago, I was seeking information on the Larsen (or Larson) family who I believe are related to some of my Petersen kin.
Here is what I found.
L. C. Larson, 54 years old, died yesterday of paralysis at his home, 651 Eleventh street west.
He was born in Denmark Jan. 21, 1862, the son of Carl and Mattie Larson. He came to Waterloo in 1888, and lived here until 1908, when he removed to Gilbertville and from there to Minnesota in 1910, returning to Waterloo last fall.
Larson leaves a wife and one daughter, Katherine J., age 11 and a sister in Denmark, Mrs. Mary Olson. He was a member of the Christian Science church.
The funeral services will be from the home Sunday afternoon. Interment at Elmwood.

Yes, I doubled checked the dates on the newspaper pages. Mr. Larson (or Larsen) died and was buried in May, 1916 and left a wife, daughter Katherine and a sister.
Katherine died in November of 1916. Her deceased father is listed as a survivor and the article indicates she also had a sister. Another daughter was not listed as a survivor in Mr. Larson's obituary.
Both articles indicate that the deceased were residents at the same address, so this is the same family.
Speculating on why the conflicting information was published does not solve any of the research questions. Once again, these articles show that a genealogist can never stop with just one source of information. One always has to keep looking.

Decades of research have found that introversion, emotional sensitivity, and vulnerability to negativity—seeing the glass as half empty—are all common personality traits of highly creative people. They are also common symptoms of depression. In fact, artists and writers are eight to ten times as likely as the general population to suffer from mood disorders. Many studies speculate that this is because artists tend to examine their lives more deeply than the average person and that they draw on unpleasant experiences to feed their work.
"Creative people might be more likely to experience negative emotions," says Wendy Berry Mendes, the Sarlo/Ekman associate professor of emotion at the University of California, San Francisco, who conducted a study while at Harvard University to look at how mood change can affect creativity. In one study, researchers measured levels of DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate), a hormone that when at lower-than-normal levels is associated with depression, before people received either harsh negative criticism or positive feedback in a mock job interview. Then the subjects were assigned a creative task. "Receiving negative compared to positive feedback was associated with enhanced creativity," says Berry Mendes. "This was especially the case for individuals who had lower levels of DHEAS," indicating they were predisposed to depression.
