Postcard from the Western Conference Finalsby Staff Writer / Dallas Stars
Hello Stars fans. This is Ralph Strangis coming to you somewhere over the Rocky Mountains. Once again this season I've been given the task of ice-level reporter for NHL Radio for the Western Conference Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals.
So now we head back to what might be the hardest building in the hardest city in the National Hockey League (Joe Louis Arena). I've also discovered there is actually a worse place to work a game than the press box of Joe Louis Arena and it is the bowels of Joe Louis Arena. I've been roaming underneath the stands, having beer spilled on me, rat traps are all over the place (and I'm not kidding), and during the overtime of Game Two I was literally under the bleachers right next to Chris Osgood behind the Detroit bench and could not see a thing. But I had to report from ice level like I could see something. The only thing I could see was Henrik Zetterberg changing his gloves because the dryer was about two feet from me.
So when you talk about glamour in the National Hockey League, you do not start with Detroit.
Good Eats
You know, one thing I've noticed while covering the West Finals is that all we really do is eat, even more than we do during the regular season. The National Hockey League is tremendous about making sure that the media crew covering the series is out at good restaurants every night. And we're just eating all the time. You eat breakfast and then you eat lunch and then you eat at the game. Then of course, there's the full-on gathering of all the media after the game at a Morton's Steak House or something similar and everyone usually jumps in on that. It just never ends. That's the fun part -- it's all the guys from CBC and TSN and VERSUS, as well as the local broadcasters. It's kind of like a mini convention with all of the print and broadcast media that are there.
On the off-day in Anaheim, I went with Eddie Olczyk up to Hollywood Park where the scenery was tremendous but I'm sad to say that we did not profit from our excursion.
We've been having a great time covering this West Final, and a lot of that is due to some good people working the games.
Mostly, the players have been great to deal with in this series (as most NHL players are, no matter what the circumstances). Although both team PR staffs are doing a good job, they have reinforced the feeling I have for our PR crew there in Dallas and the great job they do for us on a daily basis. Both Detroit and Anaheim have been very accommodating and have tried very hard to make sure that we get all of our requests. Actually, NHL Radio is very high up on the food chain and they have been great in getting us the players we need. I've interviewed just about everybody of note on both rosters, including J.S. Giguere and Nik Lidstrom, and the list goes on and on. Basically I can get my pick of who I want to talk to every night and that's been good.
A Best of Three
I've pretty much been wrong in every game of this series when it's come down to picking a winner prior to the contest. The Anaheim people asked me what I thought prior to Game Four and I said, "You know, I've been wrong every night so based on that I'm going to take the Ducks tonight because I really think it's Detroit."
I thought from the beginning of the series that Anaheim was the better team and that they just had more. Then there's the other side in Detroit, that is aging a bit and its core is made up of older veterans, but they do have some good younger skill that blends in nicely with that team. But Hasek is defying age and so is Chelios, and Lidstrom is 37 and he's playing like he's 27.
To me this is a real "pick-em" series right now. I honestly could see either team winning it. If I had to pick a winner, I honestly do not know what I would do. Maybe you pick Detroit because they at the #1 seed and they have two of the three games at home. But Anaheim is a good squad and can win on the road. This one could go either way. Should be fun to watch, regardless.

11 Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Picture
Conrad Buff, ACE, James Cameron and Richard A. Harris: the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Award for best edited feature film of 1997.
James Cameron: the Directors Guild of America's annual feature film directing award, and was nominated for (but did not win) the Writers Guild of America's award for "Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen".
Gloria Stewart: (along with Kim Bassinger for "LA Confidential") the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award for best supporting actress, in a tie vote.
Cinematographer Russell Carpenter: the award for feature film at the 12th Annual American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Outstanding Achievement Awards.
James Cameron (producer/director), James Horner (soundtrack composer, song composer), Will Jennings, (song lyrics) Rae Sanchini (executive producer) and Jon Landau (producer): Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Director, Soundtrack, and Song.
Titanic set the record for weeks as number one film: 14 weeks. Worldwide receipts have passed $1.9 billion dollars (US).
WiReD 6.02 (the "James Cameron: Obsessed" issue): Lunch on the Deck of the Titanic.
The magazine Cinefex #72 has as much detail as most people will want (or need) on creating the visual effects of Titanic. Highly recommended!
"Titanic" was the cover story of the December 1997 issue of the magazine journal American Cinematographer with great articles. Highly recommended for those interested in the nitty-gritty process of making movies.
The soundtrack CD and second follow-up CD is out from Sony Classical.
Archival info:
"Titanic" was reported to have a $200 million price tag, making it by far the most expensive film ever made. (Numerically, at least, not factoring in inflation.) At a certain size of movie project, the "actual" cost becomes a matter for accountants. For example, the cost of the new studio (Fox Studios Baja) is not included in the final cost of "Titanic". Also not included are the interest charges, marketing costs and the cost of making 2600 prints. The per-minute cost works out to just over a million dollars a minute (or about $716 (US) per frame). The film is 194 minutes long, and costs just over 200 US MegaBucks.
Paramount Pictures paid about $65 million for its share (the bargain of the century) and released the picture domestically (in Canada and the USA), and 20th Century Fox paid the rest of the bill and released it simultaneously in the rest of the world.
Previously, my humble opinion was that August 1st was the most likely opening date for "Titanic". However, Drudge Report broke the news that Harrison Ford was upset that "Titanic" would take business away from "Air Force One". Read the Paramount press release.

Hey guys
I am hoping to get some CM group going at some point soon (yes, late, i know) and i wanted to have a look into tactics/suggestions etc.
However doing my old way of googling yielded no help, since many guides say things completely differently (or often even completely contradict one another).
So maybe one of you great people would be able to help?
-Any good CM guides online (which are actually relevant)?
-Is it at all realistic to tank in dps gear or spec (for extra speed)? I know this 100% works in heroics, but no idea how much harder CMs are
-Any tips at all you can give to a frost dk dps who never did CMs before and wants to get a group running?
Thanks in advance!

Claus Valca alerts us to an Ed Bott post that a preview version of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 is out.
Hmmm. A preview version of a beta. That should be a clear warning that, if you're not comfortable with installing unfinished software, don't download it.
That said, I have been using IE7 that comes with the beta version of Windows Vista, and as I wrote in December, it's impressive.
This beta will only work with Windows XP Service Pack 2, though later versions will install on Windows XP 64-bit edition and Windows Server 2003.
If you're still interested, be sure to read the release notes first.
Update: Installed it. So far, so good, with only a few cosmetic flaws.
As I wrote earlier, it's got tabbed browsing a la Firefox, Netscape, Opera, etc. I've got the new Google Toolbar beta installed on it — oooh, beta on top of beta preview! — and the toolbar disappears when a new tab is started. Once you load a page in the new tab, the toolbar reappears.
Also, the context menu is missing an "Open link in new tab" choice. Gotta have that . . . Update 2.5.06: This apparently was a function of having the beta version of the Google Toolbar in place. I uninstalled it, and now there's an "Open in new tab" menu item.
But the Chronicle's home page looks just fine in it — yay! — and our blog software functions as it should.
Now if I could just get Performancing for IE7!
More later.

Ugandan Minister for Ethics and Integrity, Simon Lokodo, in an interview with allAfrica, has claimed that the spread of homosexuality and pornography in Uganda is a result of white culture.
When asked why he believes homosexuality and use of pornography in Uganda is on the rise, Lokodo stated: "Because the whites brought this culture. People asked 'if they can do this, why not me?'" It's a problem, according to him, that exists in Uganda's urban locales: "This happened especially in the urban areas. In the rural areas we don't even talk about it, because they'll take you for one who has gone off-wits."
Mr Lokodo is a key figure in Ugandan politics, hailed by many as one of the leaders of the country's increasingly conservative politics. A former priest, he stood for parliament in 2006 and was appointed to his post as Minister for Ethics in 2011 following a cabinet reshuffle. He was one of the main supporters of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act, signed into law in February of this year, which increased the punishment for homosexuality to life imprisonment in cases of "aggravated homosexuality", such as sex with a minor or sex where one partner is HIV positive. At the time of the bill's passing, Lokodo stated that Uganda was tolerant of gay people because Ugandans "are not slaughtering them". Mr Lokodo also spearheaded anti-pornography legislation, signed into law last year, which outlawed overtly sexual material. The law was particularly notable for banning miniskirts, prohibiting "dressing indecently in a manner to sexually excite".
Lokodo, who was excommunicated from the Catholic Church upon entering politics, makes frequent reference to religion in his justification for persecuting LGBT Ugandans. "I have my reservations whether one deserves to go to jail for being a homosexual," he stated. "But certainly those who go around proclaiming a wrong gospel must be apprehended." Mr Lokodo then cemented a train of thought which is common in religious arguments against homosexuality: if you're gay, hide it. "These people are unfortunate," he said. "Please, it's already bad that you are a homosexual. Just remain alone."
The Minister for Ethics also addressed Western businesses which vowed not to do business with Uganda following the passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Act — Richard Branson, founder and CEO of Virgin, called for a boycott of the country over its gay rights abuses. "I can tell you that we find [white people], who would withdraw their money because we proposed this bill, a bit infant." Lokodo finished the interview with this statement: "Leave us alone, or let us relate. But do not colonize us again with your unacceptable culture."

I am trying to locate the starter relay switch in a 1998 Chrysler Sebring JXI convertible 2.5L engine. We checked in the PDC, above the oil filter and it's not in either place. I read a couple of posts saying it's behind the center console, is there anyway this can be confirmed before I tear out the console? Are their existing directions (preferably with pictures) available if I need to get into the console?
All help will be appreciated.

Reviews forMocha Pumpkin Seeds
My Review
Average Rating
"I didn't have coffee granules on hand and I subbed out the sugar for honey but otherwise kept it the same. I had trouble separating the pumpkin seeds so it's more like a brittle but I still think it's a hit. Both my kids like it and it's a great snack."
"Very tasty! Make sure you stir them so they don't stick together in a big clump."
"Very yummy snack and as Sue said~ one that's good for you! I even sub'd a coconut palm sugar that is a little healthier and came out great. Thanks Rebekah!"
"What a great recipe! I was looking for a "good-for-you" snack to take to work and these pumpkin seeds are delicious!"
"very tasty an excellent treat with a bottle of wine to give as little gift."
"My Family really liked them . I like to put some in my yogurt ."
"I didn't shell the pumpkin seeds but this came out great."

The last Linux OpenGL ABI dates from 2000. The world has dramatically changed since then. Thanks to the proliferation of smartphones and tables, OpenGL ES and EGL have risen in popularity. Most Linux distros don't ship either OpenGL ES or EGL, and the existing libGL requires applications to use archaic means to access any function added to OpenGL since 1998. I would like to open a discussion for a revision of the Linux OpenGL ABI and a set of recommendations for distros and application developers.

Book Repair: A How-To-Do-It Manual, 2/e Revised (How-To-Do-It Manual Series)
Kenneth Lavender; revised by Artemis BonaDea
300 pages • 8 ½ x 11"
Year Published: 2011
Libraries of all types have books that need to be repaired or conserved, especially in light of budget restrictions that may prohibit purchasing replacements. Limited funds also mean that this activity is increasingly handled in-house. Fortunately, there is a comprehensive source to which you can turn with all your questions: Book Repair: A How-To-Do-It Manual, Second Edition Revised by Kenneth Lavender with revisions by Artemis BonaDea.
Covering both basic book repair techniques and sound preservation practices, this practical, step-by-step manual offers illustrated sections on cleaning, mending, hinge and spine repair, strengthening paperbacks, and more. Other topics include: wet and water-damaged books; mold and mildew; repair of book linings and pamphlet bindings; using acid-free materials to repair damaged books; lining paper objects; affordable repair tools and supplies, and much more.

Private-sector workers who are entitled to overtime pay could choose compensatory time off instead under legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday, BizJournals.com reported.
Under the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013, workers who want to receive overtime pay could still get it instead of comp time. Workers who opt for comp time could use it when they choose, as long as they give employers reasonable notice and it doesn't disrupt business operations.
The comp time option is already available to government employees.

The WIDA Standards were shown to have a strong linkage to the Common Core State Standards in Language Arts and Mathematics in a 2010 correspondence study conducted by the University of Oklahoma Department of Educational Training, Evaluation, Assessment, and Measurement (E-TEAM). The full correspondence study results are available on the Alignment page of the WIDA website.
The results of the WIDA ELP Standards/Common Core State Standards Correspondence Study were used to inform development of the 2012 WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards. Strands of the WIDA Standards that did not have a strong match to the CCSS were eliminated and replaced with new strands whose content stem/topic were more represented in the Common Core. In addition, WIDA introduced Common Core connections to the new strands, explicitly mentioning the standard which it could best support. The amplified standards will be used in the item writing course for future assessments.
The WIDA and the ASSETS consortia are in the process of developing and delivering resources and professional development opportunities that assist educators in integrating language (WIDA ELD) and content standards such as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Professional development opportunities highlight the ELD Standards framework and the ways in which it explicitly connects to the CCSS and NGSS. Through interactive and collaborative learning opportunities, educators unpack the language demands of the CCSS and NGSS to plan differentiated instruction and assessment for English language learners.

Madrid sign Bale on six-year deal
Real Madrid have confirmed the world-record signing of Gareth Bale from Tottenham.
After almost two months of speculation and negotiation, Madrid and Spurs both announced the transfer on Sunday evening.
Press Association Sport understands Real have paid 100 million euros (£85.3million) for Bale's signature.
Madrid announced on their website: "Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement for the transfer of Gareth Bale, who will be contracted to the club for the next six seasons."
The deal is subject to Bale passing a medical with the nine-time European champions, with all other details resolved.
Real say the 24-year-old will be presented as their new player at the Bernabeu on Monday at noon UK time.
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas, speaking after Tottenham's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal, confirmed Bale was leaving for the Bernabeu.
"He is going to join Real Madrid so we wish him all the best," said the Portuguese.
"The player is an absolutely wonderful player. He has left us with some great memories from last season which every Tottenham fan cherishes, but he has moved on and we will move on as well."
Spurs had initially resisted Real's advances, but chairman Daniel Levy explained he had no option but to let the Welshman go after the player's head was turned.
"Gareth was a player we had absolutely no intention of selling as we look to build for the future," Levy told Tottenham's website.
"He is a player whose career we have fostered and developed and he was only a year into his new four-year contract.
"Such has been the attention from Real Madrid and so great is Gareth's desire to join them, that we have taken the view that the player will not be sufficiently committed to our campaign in the current season.
"We have, therefore, with great reluctance, agreed to this sale and do so in the knowledge that we have an exceptionally strong squad to which we have added no fewer than seven top internationals. More importantly, we have an immense team spirit and a dressing room that is hungry for success.
"We wish Gareth all the best in the future and he shall always be welcome at (White Hart) Lane."

A Study on the Dyeing Properties of Petasites Japonicus Leaf Extract
Kim Ae Soon ; Chang Che Chul ; Moon Un Joung ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 1~6
This study were carried out to investigate the effects of mordants and mordanting methods under the various dyeing conditions such as temperature, time, pH, repetition of dyeing in the silk fabrics with Petasites japonicus leaf. It was the most high K/S values of the silk fabrics dyed with Petasites japonicus leaf according to co mordanting and used cupric sulfate, ferric sulfate as mordanting agents. K/S values of the silk fabrics dyed with Petasites japonicus leaf were increased gradually with dyeing temperature, dyeing time, repetition of dyeing was higher and the optimum pH was pH 7. Silk fabrics were colored yellowish orange and surface color(munsell value) was changed from 8.3YR to 2.0Y by using mordanting agents and those of the silk showed high tone when mordanting with cupric sulfate but decolored and darked when mordanting with ferric sulfate. Washing fastness of silk fabrics were good in 4 ~ 5 grade, so washing fastness of the silk fabrics was significantly improved when washed with the neutral detergent.
Continuous Surface Treatment and Dyeability of PTT Film via
Jang Jinho ; Park Dae Sun ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 7~13
Continuous and intense UV irradiation on PTT film using two types of UV bulbs at different irradiation power level was carried out to modify surface characteristics of the film including zeta potential, wettability, surface energy, and dyeability. ESCA analysis of the irradiated film showed higher O/C ratio than the untreated film indicating photooxidation of outer surface layer. ATR analysis showed that the ester bonds were broken and some new groups were produced such as carboxylic acid, phenolic hydroxy, and other esters, implying that ester bonds of PTT was responsible for the observed photooxidation effect. The surface of the treated PTT film became more hydrophilic and wettable to water, coupled with increased surface energy. Polar component of the surface energy increased and nonpolar component decreased with increasing irradiation energy. The treatment also decreased zeta potential of the modified surface and nanoscale roughness increased with increasing irradiation. The dyeability of the treated films to catonic dyes was significantly improved by electrostatic and polar interaction between dye molecules and the anionic film surface. The UV irradiation seems to be a viable polymer surface modification technology, which has advantages such as no vacuum requirement and continuous process unlike plasma treatment.
Bioscouring of 100% Cotton Fabric with Alkaline Pectinase
Choe Eon Kyung ; Park Jong Ho ; Kim Sung Dong ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 14~19
Study on the use of enzymes for textile wet processing has been very active. The exploratory research conducted herein is related to the bioscouring process for cotton fabric. The optimum concentration of alkaline pectinase(BioPrep) was in the range of 0.05~0.2 g/l, the proper treatment time was 30~60 minutes, the appropriate treatment temperature was
for both the batch method and the padding method. The simultaneous desizing/bioscouring by padding method did not give water absorbency as good as the bioscouring after desizing. Color of fabrics which were bioscoured and dyed with direct dyes and a reactive dye was just a little darker than that of NaOH scoured one. K/S and Lab values of the bioscoured fabrics, regardless of the degree of water absorbency, were quite similar to each other.
The Adsorption Properties of Heavy Metal Ions on to Cotton Fabrics Treated with Reactive Anionic Agent
Kim Mi-Kyung ; Yoon Seok-Han ; Kim Tae-Kyeong ; Lim Yong-Jin ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 20~29
Cotton fabric was treated with a reactive anionic agent in order to have anionic sites(-S03-) on it, which made it possible for the fabric to adsorb various cationic materials. In this study, the adsorptivity of various heavy metal ions such as Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Ni (II) and Cr(VI) on the cotton fabrics treated with anionic agent was examined at the various conditions; concentrations of heavy metal ions, pHs of solution, reaction time and temperature. As a result, the adsorptivity of the heavy metal ions on the cotton fabrics treated with the anionic agent was highly increased comparing to that of untreated cotton fabrics. The order of the adsorptivity was as follows: $Pb(II)>Cd(II)>Cu(II)\geqNi(II)\geqCo(II)>Cr(III)\ggCr(VI)$. The adsorption amounts of most heavy metal ions were increased in weak alkaline conditions and were reached to an adsorption equilibrium within 10 ~ 30 minutes. The maximum adsorption ratios of Pb(II) and Cd(II) were respectively 99% and 80% of the initial concentration of heavy metal ions. Therefore the anionized cotton fabrics seem to be utilized as an adsorption fabrics for the removal of heavy metal ions in the waste water.
Mechanical Properties of Cellulose/Chitosan and Sericin/Chitosan Blend Films
Yoon Heung Soo ; Lee Eui So ; Kim Seung Il ; Yoon Ho Gyu ; Takahashi Kiyohisa ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 30~37
The tensile properties, acetic acid solubility and degree of swelling in distilled water of cellulose/chitosan and sericin/chitosan film blended by mixing chitosan acetic acid solution with cellulose solution or sericin solution were investigated and the effect of crosslinking agent on solubility and degree of swelling were also considered. From the experimental results, the model of intermolecular bond is proposed. Tensile modulus of 100% cellulose film is high but the tensile strength and elongation are low. The elongation of 100% chitosan film is high but tensile modulus and strength is low. But it is possible to make film having same or higher tensile strength and modulus compared to that of 100% cellulose film by mixing cellulose and chitosan or by mixing sericin and chitosan. Chitosan is solved in 5vol % acetic acid solution but cellulose and sericin are not solved. Degree of swelling of chitosan in distilled water is higher than that of cellulose and sericin. Lower than 40wt% chitosan content, the solubility of cellulose/chitosan film in 5vol % acetic acid solution shows lower expected value but higher in case of sericin/chitosan film.
Preparation of S-keratose/Nylon 6 Nonwoven Webs by Electrospinning
Kim Jin-Won ; Song Kyung Geun ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 38~44
Oxidation method was used to extract S-keratose from wool. Wool was treated with performic acid and soluble fraction(S-keratose) was collected by evaporating the solvent. S-keratose and Nylon 6 were dissolved in formic acid at the ratio of 100/0, 80/20, 50/50, 20/80, and 0/100, and S-keratose/Nylon 6 web of sub-micron size was made by electro-spinning technique. SEM, EA, FT-IR, XRD, and TGA were used to characterize the properties of S-keratose/Nylon 6 solutions and electrospun fibers. As the Nylon 6 content increased, viscosity, conductivity of the electrospinning solution and the diameter of spun fiber increased. Electrospun nonwoven webs have the same S-keratose/Nylon 6 ratios of the spinning solutions. The crystalline structures of S-keratose and Nylon 6 existed separately in the electrospun webs. Thermal stability of the webs increased due to Nylon 6 content.
Preparation of S-keratose/PVA Nonwoven Webs by Electrospinning
Park Hyunsu ; Song Kyung Geun ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 45~51
Soluble keratose(S-keratose) could be obtained by oxidizing the wool keratin with performic acid. S-keratose/PVA solutions were made by dissolving them in the formic acid and S-keratose/PVA web of sub-micron size was made by electro-spinning technique. SEM, elemental analysis, FT-IR, X-ray diffractometry, and TGA were used to characterize the properties of S-keratose/PVA solutions and fibers. As the S-keratose content in S-keratose/PVA solution increased, viscosity of solution decreased while electrical conductivity has increased. The fiber diameter has decreased with increasing the S-keratose content. S-keratose/PVA ratio in fibers were similar to the ratio in the solutions. The crystalline structures of S-keratose and PVA existed separately in the electrospun webs. Thermal stability of the web increased with the PVA content increasing.
The Physical Properties of Cotton Fabric Pretreated with Skim Milk Powder
Lee Su Min ; Song Wha Soon ;
Textile Coloration and Finishing, volume 17, issue 1, 2005, Pages 52~59
The purpose of this study is to establish the scientific data of cotton fabric pretreated with skim milk powder and to improve the dyeability. The surface monophology, add on, whiteness, stiffness, air permeability, moisture regain and absorption of cotton fabrics were evaluated by varying concentration of SMP to get the optimal conditions in pretreatment. FT-IR of cotton fabrics pretreated with SMP were measured. Amino acid compositions, viscosity of SMP were evaluated. The K/S values by varying concentration of cinnamon cassia and subtract of dyed SMP-C were measured. I attempted to evalute the color fastness of untreated and AI. The results are as follow; The optimal concentration of SMP was 9%(w/v) to be pretreated with cotton fabrics. From FT-IR spectrum, formation of -NH
and -COOH was verified by SMP-C. Denaturalization of protein and condensation of carbohydrate, fat, etc. were found in a measurement of amino acid and viscocity. The K/S value of cotton fabrics pretreated with SMP was higher than that of untreated. Most of the color fastnesses were great.

Study says half the world to be short-sighted by 2050
Saturday February 20 2016
Half the world's population will be short-sighted by 2050, with up to one-fifth of them – about 1 billion people – at a significantly increased risk of blindness if current trends
continue, the University of New South Wales in Australia said on its website on Tuesday, citing a study led by the institution.
The number of people with vision loss from high myopia is expected to increase seven-fold from 2000 to 2050, with myopia (shortsightedness) likely to become a leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide.
The study is by researchers at the Brien Holden Vision Institute at UNSW and the Singapore Eye Research Institute.
They attribute the rapid increase in the prevalence of myopia globally to "environmental factors, principally lifestyle changes resulting from a combination of decreased time outdoors
and increased near work activities, among other factors".
The findings point to a major public health problem, with the authors suggesting that planning for comprehensive eye care services are needed to manage the rapid increase in high
myopes (a five-fold increase from 2000), along with the development of treatments to control the progression of myopia and prevent people from becoming highly myopic.
"We also need to ensure our children receive a regular eye examination from an optometrist or ophthalmologist, preferably each year, so that preventative strategies can be employed if
they are at risk," co-author Kovin Naidoo, CEO of the Brien Holden Vision Institute, said.
"These strategies may include increased time outdoors and reduced time spent on near-based activities including electronic devices that require constant focussing up close.

• Establish, in a transparent and objective manner, a consensual well-to-wheels energy use
and GHG emissions assessment of a wide range of automotive fuels and powertrains
relevant to Europe in 2010 and beyond.
• Consider the viability of each fuel pathway and estimate the associated macro-economic
• Have the outcome accepted as a reference by all relevant stakeholders.
The main conclusions and observations are summarised below. We have separated the points
pertaining to energy and GHG balance (in normal font) from additional points involving
feasibility, availability and costs (in italic).
A Well-to-Wheels analysis is the essential basis to assess the impact of future fuel and
powertrain options.
- Both fuel production pathway and powertrain efficiency are key to GHG
emissions and energy use.
- A common methodology and data-set has been developed which provides a
basis for the evaluation of pathways. It can be updated as technologies evolve.
A shift to renewable/low fossil carbon routes may offer a significant GHG reduction
potential but generally requires more energy. The specific pathway is critical.
Results must further be evaluated in the context of volume potential, feasibility,
practicability, costs and customer acceptance of the pathways investigated.
- A shift to renewable/low carbon sources is currently expensive.
GHG emission reductions always entail costs but high cost does not always
result in large GHG reductions
No single fuel pathway offers a short term route to high volumes of "low carbon" fuel
Contributions from a number of technologies/routes will be needed
A wider variety of fuels may be expected in the market
Blends with conventional fuels and niche applications should be considered if
they can produce significant GHG reductions at reasonable cost.
Large scale production of synthetic fuels or hydrogen from coal or gas offers the
potential for GHG emissions reduction via CO2 capture and storage and this merits
further study.
- Advanced biofuels and hydrogen have a higher potential for substituting fossil fuels than
conventional biofuels.
- High costs and the complexities around material collection, plant size, efficiency and
costs, are likely to be major hurdles for the large scale development of these processes.
- Transport applications may not maximize the GHG reduction potential of renewable

© 2009 HARDING & YORKE 19 now - training. ' When I was about 15, I must have lightly blasphemed - said " oh God!" or something - and she took me to one side and said: " That offends some people. You need to be thinking about what you say and who you say it to". She made me think about what I did and the effect it might have on somebody else.' This has served Caroline well, for she always finds a truly personalised way of training people. ' I don't like telling people what to do. Everyone has an opinion and my approach is more food for thought. I'd rather I got people thinking rather than saying " this is how it is"! It should come as no surprise that Caroline is a spiritual person. ' I am and I think we need to be aware of our own egos and how they can get in the way of our happiness,' Caroline says. ' When you look at conflict, it's always down to ego. It's a failure to empathise. And that goes back to that Guide Captain who got me to think about things from the perspective of others.' Revealing that her caring side really does run deep, she tried to follow a career in nursing but was too young, so studied for a private secretary's diploma. ' When I finished I decided to consolidate my skills by working in a private bank in Fleet Street.' She actually did apply to become a nurse, but before she could start her training she fell in love. ' He was 14 years older than me. We got married and bought a house. We had a mortgage and so I couldn't afford to do what I really wanted to do, which was a shame.' Caroline's first child, Katie, was born in 1986. ' I was very lucky with Katie,' Caroline explains. ' I took five years off!' Her husband owned a greengrocer in Chorleywood and Caroline helped with the accounts. ' I actually learned a lot about retail, too,' she says. Her first son, Elliott, was born in 1991 ' I needed to earn some money, but I still wanted to give Elliott as much time as I had given Katie.' The solution? Ever practical and resourceful, Caroline became a childminder for three years - another indication of her caring, guiding personality. The move into customer service came about in 1994, a few years before her third child Joseph was born. ' I saw an advert in the local paper for people to work as mystery shoppers,' Caroline says. ' I really did start off on the bottom rung - listening to thousands and thousands of telephone calls; getting a feel for what sounded good and what didn't.' This experience was to stand her in good stead when her ' big break' came. Caroline was managing accounts for Qualtrack ( the same company that Nickie Hawton had worked at - see YOUR EMPATHY PROPHET T issue 1 for her interview). The company went through a rough time and shed a lot of staff. ' Nickie had too much work so some of it was passed to me. I was really hungry to learn and I desperately wanted to get into that role,' Caroline says. Later, she moved to be Manager at a Call Centre. ' After three months I had turned the results around!' Caroline was duly promoted to Customer Services Director. ' It actually got to a point where I had developed my nine managers to such a level I was getting into work and wondering what I was going to do today! So I went to see my boss and asked if they would make my role redundant.' That's when Caroline moved to Harding & Yorke. And became senior consultant. ' I have been really lucky,' she says. ' I had the time to enjoy my children when they were little without having to think about career moves. When I did come back to work, it was with enormous energy and enthusiasm!' It is obvious that this enthusiasm isn't going to burn out any time soon. Anyone who comes into contact with Caroline will come away from the experience having learned something or - as Caroline might prefer - having been made to think by someone who truly is a guiding light.

YOUR EMPATHY PROPHET T - ISSUE 3/ FEBRUARY 2009 STORYTIME 20 This is a true account of how a group of managers of a well- known regional newspaper publisher in the Northeast of England were asked to firstly describe their Monday morning meetings and then write a story about how they would like the meetings to take place. Over the past decade I have met many people who promote storytelling and most have done their best to overcomplicate and frighten people from using it to its best advantage. We are all storytellers - it is what we, as humans, do to communicate. The most influential meeting I had on the subject on storytelling was with a great friend and frequent recharger of my batteries - Nigel Barlow. Nigel runs a company called Service Legends Limited ( based in Oxford) and he is one of the most inspirational people I have had the privilege to meet. What I learnt from Nigel was both simple and effective. Apologies for the language in places but this is expressed in their own words. THE UGLY DUCKLING: WHY WE HATE MONDAYS Most people arrive at the office between 8am and 9am, stepping over the pigeon shit at the entrance and braving what passes for wit ( most people would call it abuse) from Ron on the door. The lifts aren't working ( again), so it's a shattered team that gets together for the Monday morning briefing on the 4th floor. At least, most of us get together as Arthur and Sally are late ( again) and Steve B ( the Managing Director) leaves a message that there's a crisis with the Group Director ( again). He says we should get on with it and he'll try to be there for the ' action summary'! THE POWER OF CHANGE THROUGH STORYTELLING THE UGLY DUCKLING PRINCIPLE Storytelling is - essentially - the method used by humans to communicate. JAMIE LYWOOD relates an example that shows how storytelling can be used as a powerful problem- solving tool.

Casa Grande High School's boys basketball team held off a Petaluma third-quarter challenge to pull out a 52-36 win in a people-packed Petaluma High School gym Tuesday night.
The game was an intense contest of defense and wills from tip to final buzzer, with Casa Grande having enough shooting and rebounding advantage to turn back the upset-minded Trojans.
Despite intense defensive scrutiny by the Trojans, Casa Grande shooting guard Cetrick Yeanay found enough open space to drop in 15 points for the Gauchos, He also dished off five assists.
Forward Kyle Kaupe added 10 points, getting them all in the second half, while Aaron Dal Poggetto scored eight and Francis Christy seven, most in the first half. Kaupe also had 12 rebounds, Christy scored eight and Jake Ielmorini five for the Gauchos. Point guard Tyler Nadolski passed off seven assists.
Guard Clay Swanson, despite spending long stretches on the bench in foul trouble, led Petaluma with 13 points, while teammate Eric Hunsicker, at times a lone Trojan voice on the backboards, added 12 and a ton of rebounds.
Casa Grande, with Yeanay and Nadolski hitting key 3-pointers, managed to build a 27-17 halftime lead.
Petaluma, behind the inside work of Hunsicker and a 3-point connection and a driving hoop by Swanson, cut the lead to 34-28 before the Gauchos were able to regain control on another big 3-point hit by Yeanay and four points from Aaron Dal Paggetto early in the fourth period.
First-year Petaluma coach John Behrs was pleased with the Trojans despite the scoreboard outcome.
"We played hard," he said. "I was happy with our effort. Casa Grande has a great program and we made them work for it (the win)."
Casa Grande coach James Forni said the Gauchos were rusty. "We haven't played a game in 10 days and it showed," he said. "We were really sloppy.
"We knew Petaluma would be tough. You throw the records out in this game. You know both teams are going to pull out all the stops."
Casa Grande is now 3-1 on the season, with a game coming up Saturday at Redwood High School in Larkspur.
Petaluma is now 1-4 and coming back Thursday to play at Rancho Cotate.
For complete game story, see Thursday's Argus-Courier.

My Life is an Open Book
Let's talk about something other than boys for a sec, 'kay? Don't worry, I'll get back to that topic in a moment, but first a nice literary interlude. Kristin, over at Candy Sandwich posed (posited?) some excellent questions about books and our relationships with them. Here's my take.
1. Book that changed your life: Julie and Julia, by Julie Powell. For those unaware, it's taken from the blog of a woman who, unsatisfied with her life, decides to set about on a project to cook her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It's a wonderful testament to our abilities to dig ourselves out of negative situations, thereby transforming our lives. Since it's publication she has gone from office temp to being a well respected food critic. Also, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Wolff. It solidified my love of language and words.
2. Book you've read more than once: I've read many books more than once, but the one that comes to mind first is the metamorphosis simply because for some reason, professors at my college were obsessed with it. The number of Marxist interpretations I have submitted on that book is mind blowing. Same goes for Animal Farm.
3. Book you'd take to a desert island: Any Nick Hornsby. If I had an anthology of his writing I'd be pretty much set. Either that or some fabulous compilation of literary non-fiction pieces.
4. Book that made you laugh: Me Talk Pretty Some Day by the ubiquitous David Sedaris; Everything is Illuminated by JSF; Thank You For Smoking by Christopher Buckley.
5. Book that made you cry: It's not a book that comes to mind first, but a poem. Snapshot of a Difficult World by Adrienne Rich. I first read it in Poetry 100 freshman year of college and it has continued to captivate me as I experience more of life and understand more of what it means.
6. Book you wish you had written: Although depressing, I wish I had written The Rules of Attraction by Brett Easton Ellis, simply because it reminds me so much of my own college experience, and wish I had the creativity to have come up with it. Alas, he has at least a decade on me so I can't be too upset about that.
7. Book you wish had never been written: Speaking of Brett Easton Ellis...I absolutely despise Glamourama. It has done nothing for the genre of contemporary American fiction, and it's gratuitous violence and general god-awful terribleness has since overshadowed some of his early and better works.
8. Book you're currently reading: Goodbye Lemon by Adam Davies. I read his other novel The Frog King a few months ago and although the narrator infuriated me with his myopia, I was addicted to it.
9. Book you've been meaning to read: Well. My Amazon.com wish list is 3 pages long. This is the first page.

Inspired by the Nest Protect, this project aims to monitor the office environment from 5 different sensor units positioned around the office. One unit is an external unit which will be used to monitor local weather including temperature, wind direction, wind speed and rainfall.
Each internal unit monitors temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, methane, smoke, sound, light and motion.
All of the units stream data to a central unit which collates and pushes data into the cloud for later use. An API is also being developed which will allow the data to be used in conjunction with libraries such as D3.js or Processing.js to produce some dynamic interactions.

The aim of this project was to rapidly prototype three different approaches to make a musical bottle. The first prototype was built using an arduino mini pro, an mp3 shield, speaker and simple circuit which when broken triggers a mp3 to play. The circuit was built into the screw cap so the music was activated when removing the bottle top.
The second prototype made use of near field communication tags (NFC) which were stuck to the inside of the bottle top. When a user tapped their phone against the bottle it would open a browser, open a link encoded onto the tag and open the correct webpage. The page consists of branding and a HTML5 audio player. Depending on the hash in the url the player will load the correct mp3 for the user to play.
The final prototype is very similar to the NFC approach but makes use of RFID. When a tag (which is attached to the inside of the bottle top) is scanned it sends the tag id through to a node server which plays the correct mp3 through a laptop speaker.

Well, this is a "works in progress" week, and I'm happy to say I am making some progress! First I finished my last blocks for the Blogger's Block of the Month quilt! Sarah's block is so cute! I can't wait for next month when Jackie will show us her setting for the blocks!
I was also able to set together my Bee's Knees Bee blocks...I'm so happy with this quilt. I love each and every block! I've ordered backing fabric and hope to get it really finished soon!
I received 14 blocks from my Bee friends and added two of my own...a big chunky star...
And a whimsical half-square triangle block (kind of my tribute to all of the hst's I've made lately)!
And...my Fig Tree Farmer's Wife is almost there...this photo was taken last night with my phone. The blocks are all sewn into rows now, and by tonight they will be a quilt! I'll definitely get a good picture of this tomorrow when the lighting is good. This might be my favorite quilt ever...I love how all the Fig Tree lines just play off one another...and I just love the thought of having this in my room this winter!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

However, there are people who _want_ X-related pkgs, particularly link libraries and their related includes, to go into the X tree. There's a way around this: When I update xsrc to cope internally with the "new" /usr/pkg/... font and app-defaults paths, I will also update the imake stuff to add two new options that will be automatically included wherever /usr/X11R6/{lib,include} is: "ThirdPartyInclude" and "ThirdPartyLib", defaulting to /usr/pkg/{include,lib}. This way, packages compiled in /usr/pkg would still be visible to third-party, non-pkgified, source. xpkgwedge wouldn't "need" these include and lib definitions, but it wouldn't hurt xpkgwedge, either. : I second that. Packages should go to packages. The issue might be, that : adapting standard X stuff to /usr/pkg/ is more expensive than having a : "mess" in /usr/X11R6/ Not really. xpkgwedge does a half-decent (albeit half-assed) job at it. I'm rewriting the design a bit now and will have a new proposal on tech-pkg by the weekend. : Wouldnt it be possible for the user to set some sort of X_PACKAGES_ROOT : similar to the standard packages-ROOT define?

A new velocity map which has captured Antarctica's glaciers in motion will help scientists to work out just how much the frozen continent is contributing to the rise in global sea levels.
A joint NASA and Canadian Space Agency mission has used six consecutive passes of Antarctica by a space-based imaging radar to create detailed topographic maps and to measure the speed of moving glaciers.
"By measuring the extent and velocity of the moving ice and estimating its thickness, we can estimate how much ice may be lost into the ocean from the Earth's largest storehouse of freshwater," says NASA's Dr Frank Carsey.
Apart from being affected by the expansion of warming oceans, sea levels are also affected by how much water is stored in the ice sheets. However to measure the contribution of ice sheets to sea levels, scientists must consider the balance between two different processes.
On the one hand global warming leads to an increase in evaporation and snowfall locks up water in the icecaps, on the other, the flow of ice from glaciers releases water into the oceans.
"It's a budgeting exercise," explains Tas Van Ommen from the Antarctic CRC. "And velocity maps like this will help us to work out the balance much more precisely."
"There are a lot of other things that we can derive from the velocity maps," adds Neal Young who is involved in velocity mapping at the Antarctic CRC. "One examples is the freezing and melting of ice underneath the ice shelf that can affect ocean circulation."
Young obtained crude velocity maps of Antarctica using LANDSAT about four years ago but since then a new technology called SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) Interferometry has enabled him and colleagues to develop much more detailed maps such as the one released by NASA of the Lambert Glacier.
"It's an evolving process and we get better and better measurements as technology develops," says Neal, adding that Australians first measured the Lambert Glacier's movement in the early 1960s using a theodolite to work out positions in relation to the stars.

Best in the league? That's Arsene Wenger's view of Emmanuel Adebayor.
Le Prof is adamant that the all-action Togolese hitman is the top striker in the Premier League, and said on Friday, on Arsenal.com
Adebayor is the best striker in the Premier League at the moment, he`s mobile, he`s quick, he`s not scared and he`s brave. For me that`s a fantastic quality, especially in England.
He doesn`t get enough credit for his touch. He has good feet, quick feet, and is a complete striker. He can still improve the timing of his runs as he sometimes gets caught offside, and, just with that, he can score 10 more goals each season.
Two more goals in today's 3-1 win in what could have been a tricky away fixture at Man City see Ade's recent record standing at eleven goals in his last eight games - that is the total that many Gooners were saying they'd be happy for him to finish the season with, when we got underway in August. Ade's now notched 18 in the league so far, and if his proclamation earlier in the week that he's discovered the secret of scoring are true, then the rest of the Prem should watch out.
It's our good fortune that Togo didn't qualify for the ACN, as what with RvP being out and Theo still looking like he needs more time, we'd have been right up fuck street were we to have had to deal with being without Ade for a month or so.
Surprisingly, some Gooners still don't rate Ade, but surely the stats don't lie - he's at times been a one-man army and battering ram up front for us this season, has given us that all-new aerial threat we've missed the past few seasons, runs defences ragged. Blessed with pace and strength, and with a finesse that he's displayed in the past, he's going 'out-drog' the Ivorian striker at the Moscow State Circus. And while the Ivorian is 29, Ade is still only 23, and pretty much on a par with him already. The sky is his limit. We may be seeing the coming of a very special player, yet another Wenger master-stroke. The only thing that may stop him from reaching the heights he could do is, surely, himself - if he were to become complacent and think he doesnt need to work at his game. Fortunately, Wenger thinks this won't be the case,
He`s a strong character in the dressing room and a winner. He`s a guy who made mistakes at the start of his career, and has realised here that there`s another life rather than being easy.
He smells that he can win, and is a winner. When he realised that he could live in the big world of top-class football players it changed him, and today he`s a different animal, mainly mentally. He realised he wasted some time and it was time for him to be serious.
Another thing that bodes well is that he seems to click well with various different partners upfront. He plays well with RvP, he plays well with Eduardo, and looks like he might do something useful when playing with Theo too (in time...). He even 'connects' well with Bendtner (ahem).

Geraint Thomas bore his burden stoically, over four category climbs and roads that twisted and contorted like Munch's Scream, but the repeat prescription visits to the Team Sky doctor during Monday's third stage offered a more reliable truth.
So far the Welshman's fractured hip – sustained in Saturday's crash, but revealed by an MRI scan only on Sunday night – has refused to break him, although he needed help to lift his leg over his bike's crossbar before the start. Tuesday's team time trial, however, might.
"I have not come here just to do a lap of France," said Thomas at the finish. "It felt a lot better today than yesterday and it felt a lot better at the end than it did at the start."
The odds are stacked against him. Tuesday is team trial day, a 25km fast and furious blast around Nice. Team Sky will probably ride it in 27 or 28 minutes. Thomas is likely to be dropped early. If that happens he will have to push on alone and finish within 10% of the team's time or he will be out.
Team Sky's general manager, Sir Dave Brailsford, took no pleasure in reminding Thomas of the brutal realities of life on the road. There would be no help or favours.
"In my opinion he won't be part of that team time trial in terms of really being able to contribute," said Brailsford. "I just think it's unreasonable to expect that in view of his injury. So we'll have to deal with that."
Or rather Thomas will. Brailsford did, however, pay tribute to his rider's capacity to absorb pain and cling on during a day when Cofidis's Yoann Bagot and Astana's Andrey Kashechkin had their race numbers ripped off their backs.
"The determination and level of suffering required to ride on a course like this, with its twists and turns where you can never get into any kind of rhythm, was really considerable," he said. "He suffered an awful, awful lot – he deserves every bit of recognition and support for his suffering."
Would he be able to make it to Paris? "Who knows, we'll have to wait and see," said Brailsford with a shrug. "Physically he's in fantastic shape. It's a question of how much he can cope with the pain."
Thomas, a double Olympic gold medallist in the team pursuit in 2008 and 2012, had a pursuit of a far more torturous kind before finishing in the group 9min 15sec back.
"Sunday was one of the worst days I've ever had on a bike and I have never had this difficulty getting going at the start of a day before," he said . "But the experts said it's not going to get any worse so I'm going to give it a few days and see if the pain comes down."
At his side was Chris Froome, who chipped in: "He's Welsh. He'll survive."
Froome, incidentally, finished safely in the peloton and remains one second down on the yellow jersey of Jan Bakelants. He was full of praise for Thomas, saying: "After 100km today he came up to the front of us and said: "Yeah, c'mon!" That made us all smile. He's got fighting spirit."
The third stage was won by the Australian Simon Gerrans, who held off Peter Sagan in a bunch finish. Gerrans rides for Orica-GreenEdge whose driver got stuck beneath the finish arch of the first stage. This time there was no anguish, only smiles.
Sagan missed out on the stage by millimetres but there was an immediate compensation: the favourite for the green jersey in Paris will wear it as early as Nice.
There have been rumours that Mark Cavendish is struggling with a bronchial infection and he endured another tough day, finishing way back with Thomas. The Manxman will have many other days to shine on this Tour. One just hopes Thomas will too.

98 Degrees
"98 Degrees" is an American boy band consisting of four vocalists: brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre, and Jeff Timmons.
98 Degrees
The group was formed in Los Angeles, but its members are all from Ohio. Some fans do not consider them a "boy band" because unlike most boy bands, they formed independently and were later picked up by a record label, as opposed to being assembled by the label itself. They have sold over 10 million records and charted no less than 8 top 40 singles.
The group was originally signed to the Motown label in the mid-1990s. Their debut album "98°" and their first single "Invisible Man" were both certified Gold.
After building popularity with their appearance in the movie ''Mulan'', singing "True to Your Heart," a duet with labelmate Stevie Wonder, their success broke out in late 1998 with their 4x platinum album ''98° and Rising'', which included the hit singles "The Hardest Thing" and "I Do (Cherish You)". After the first album, 98 Degrees left Motown for its parent company, Universal Records. All three albums after their first went platinum.
The bands first major hit was "Because Of You", which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 a...

Yes, I believe the example speaks for itself in this regard. Not only harder to write, but harder to read as well. > ('Display: marker' is not supported by any browser so far, I believe.) Nor should it be, in our opinion. The ':before {display:marker}' method (IMHO - hack) for doing list markers is seriously problematic both for implementers and for authors. It is poorly designed, and would have never exited "CR" had there been a CR period when CSS2 went to last call. I believe that much better solutions are both desired and possible, and, as co-editor of the CSS3 List Module, I invite proposals (such as 'list-style-color') from the community to arrive at a better solution. Frankly, the CSS1 list properties were both much easier to implement, and to understand from an authoring perspective. CSS2's list model went a bit off the theoretical deep end as it were. From: Bjoern Hoehrmann <email@example.com> Subject: Re: Proposal: list-item-color Date: Sat, Sep 29, 2001, 12:19 PM > Why didn't CSS Level 2 say, that list item markers are intended to work > just like that and one could simply specify > > li::before { color: red } > > or whatever to style the marker? Yes, CSS2 could have said this. But this demonstrates one of the more serious flaws with using :before for list-markers, and that is, that it prevents the authoring of content which itself has :before content and also has a list number or marker. Essentially, forcing the author to use :before to style the list marker, robs the author of the ability to independently prefix their list items with generated content. A much better alternative would have been to assign a pseudo-element specifically to the list marker, e.g. :list-marker (or ::list-marker in CSS3 pseudo-element syntax) which could be used to address the list marker and style it with color (or other properties as well, which would, for example, remove the need for the 'marker-offset' property). Every element that had "display:list-item" would automatically have a :list-marker pseudo-element generated for it to be styled. This is just an idea - not a formal proposal. It is intended to generate discussion and brainstorming. Thanks, TantekReceived on Saturday, 29 September 2001 18:55:24 UTC

Completed in the fall of 2003, the Sandra D. Thompson Field is located in the heart of the athletics complex on the school's beautiful campus in Blacksburg. The stadium serves as the home of the Tech lacrosse team in the spring and the men's and women's soccer teams in the fall. In 2008, the facility was dedicated in the name of Thompson, a longtime supporter of women's athletics at Virginia Tech.

Tech's lacrosse program is establishing itself as a difficult opponent to play at Thompson Field. In 2011, the Hokies went 5-3 at home, a mark that included an upset win over then-No. 16 Boston College. In 2012, Tech went 7-2 at home – the most home wins for the Hokies' lacrosse program since the school made it a varsity sport in 1995. The 2011 and 2012 campaigns marked the ninth and 10th times that the Hokies have enjoyed winning seasons at home.
The field at Thompson Field features a bluegrass playing surface and measures approximately 75 by 120 yards. It is equipped with an underground irrigation system and a drainage system that allows for the field to be ready for play quickly following rainstorms. The complex also features a wireless scoreboard, and a permanent Hubbell lighting system allows for night games.
The athletics department has made improvements gradually since the venue opened in 2003. In 2005, workers completed a new restroom facility for the field, and during the summer of 2008, a new game operations center was erected atop the stadium above the stands. The approximately 900-square foot facility includes two broadcast booths, two covered areas available for broadcasting and/or videographers' cameras, and a large working area for media covering the Hokies.
The climate-controlled facility also contains a state-of-the-art sound system and Ethernet capability. The Internet-ready facility allows Tech's official athletics website, hokiesports.com, to originate live audio broadcasts and live stats of the Hokies' matches from the press box. Above the grandstand is a wired camera deck, which is accessible to all media.
Between each team's bench area is the Sandy D. Thompson Press Box. Formerly the press operations center for the field, the facility is now used as a halftime room for game officials and as an auxiliary area for press and game operations.
Thompson Field, which has been expanded since it was opened, now features approximately 2,028 bench-back seats, where each fan has an unobstructed view of the playing surface. Spacious area around the field allows for nearly 1,500 more fans to watch games.
Adjacent to Thompson Field are two practice fields that allow the Tech lacrosse team to train while reducing the wear and tear on the playing field. One of these practice fields is artificial turf, which allows for practicing during inclement weather and also preparing for road matches that are played on artificial turf.
The improvements over the years, the enthusiasm of the fan base and the play on the field make Thompson Field one of the best venues in the ACC to watch lacrosse.

DEACOM ERP Selected to Streamline Toll Chemical Manufacturing Operations
Apr 29, 2014, 10:55 ET from Deacom, Inc.
WAYNE, Pa., April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Deacom, Inc., producer of a modern ERP software solution specifically for chemical manufacturing and other process-based manufacturing industries, announced today that Holly Oak Chemical, Inc. has selected the DEACOM Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to streamline their multifaceted custom toll manufacturing operations.
Holly Oak Chemical has been recognized for their high quality, custom products since 1979. With all products manufactured on a batch-by-batch basis, and production sizes ranging from lab samples to bulk loads, Holly Oak has developed a flexible and scalable production process that has worked effectively over the years. However, their ERP system, which sits on obsolete technology and is no longer supported by the vendor, has created unnecessary operational complexity and cost – both of which are likely to prohibit their progress and growth.
The family-owned company knew that in order to take their business to the next level and leave a strong legacy for generations to come, they would need an ERP system that offers batch industry-specific functionality, flexibility to support their custom production process, and a modern technology foundation that would allow them to remain current with simple upgrades. They did not want to find themselves evaluating ERP software again in five or ten years, so they focused on finding both a long-term solution and a long-term vendor relationship.
Holly Oak was immediately impressed by Deacom's responsiveness throughout the evaluation process, the deep industry-specific knowledge and capability, and the transparency of Deacom's guaranteed fixed pricing structure. Also seeing significant value in the single system model, built to enable evolution by eliminating complex and costly customizations and bolt-ons, Holly Oak identified DEACOM to be the flexible, modern, and specialized system they were looking for.
"It's apparent that Deacom is highly invested in the growth and development of their product. They use the DEACOM system and rely on it's technology every day. This tells us that they are equally as committed to their customers, and the impact that DEACOM ERP has on their businesses every day," says Holly Oak co-owner and Production Manager/Technical Lead, James Cashion III. "We are excited to be implementing DEACOM, because we are confident that we have found the software and the team to help us build a strong legacy for Holly Oak and our family."
Holly Oak also cited Deacom's mobile application and Warehouse Management System as functionality they look forward to utilizing in the near future. These capabilities will provide additional flexibility, efficiency and convenience to their operations.
About Deacom, Inc.
Deacom, Inc. is the producer of DEACOM, a complete ERP system for process manufacturers with difficult-to-handle requirements. By making complex issues simple, Deacom helps streamline manufacturing business processes to maximize productivity and profitability.

The long-awaited announcement of the technology behind a waste-to-energy incinerator at ReVenture Park was made Thursday.
Charlotte-based Forsite Development will partner with Colwich, Kan.-based ICM Inc. for its gasification technology, Forsite said.
Eisenmann Corp., based in Crystal Lake, Ill., will provide wet electrostatic precipitator technology to control emissions.
Forsite announced in October it will use Charlotte-based FCR Recycling for the $30 million plant that developers say will divert approximately 340,000 tons of waste annually from local landfills.
Forsite president Tom McKittrick said 17 gasification and traditional technologies were considered for ReVenture, a 667-acre eco-industrial park being developed in western Mecklenburg County.
ICM has a commercial-scale pilot plant in Kansas using the gasification technology, McKittrick said, adding that the pilot plant could help with ReVenture's quest for state air permits because the emissions at that plant can be tested.

I agree that the timing for the poll is very bad. That being said, I'm not sure how a seven-day extension into the IETF week helps. *If* something new comes up during that time, it would need to be reflected in one or more new Change Proposals, no? As much as I'd like to get this one resolved, rushing it now is unlikely to produce a result we won't need to revisit again.

k4 Web Design History
k4 Web Design is owned by Trevor Keegan. Trevor became interested in web design during high school as part of a class project. During college, Trevor majored in Industrial Engineering at Kansas State University, where he graduated with honors. With his engineering background, he did get some additional experience with coding and web design during his college courses, but never had a channel for his interest. After graduation, Trevor began a career in Information Technology and had the chance to work for several Fortune 500 companies as a consultant. Working for these companies gave Trevor extensive experience with many different software packages as well as customization of this software and project management, both very useful skills for web development. While this professional experience was valuable, it was not until Trevor's family decided that they wanted a website to help with their small business that he finally had the opportunity to channel his interest in web development. Building this website started a journey that continues today, and we would love to for you to be part of this journey with us, while we join you on your own journey.
