Its worth the debate, if ONLY to define what it is Not.ReplyDelete
For future debates this then becomes a source of or point of reference to recall.
All evidence, even false evidence is thus useful in its own right, to leading to the truth.
Just keep an open mind, and be patient with the notions of others.

Rawr, I hate this stuff. True, when rotated to an angle that suits pareidolia best and you include hints of what it could be, of course it looks like something. It feels like back-tracking, from saying "there is something, what is it?" to "is that something". As much as I'd like to think it is an entity, I can't. Items like this seem to cast doubt over previous more conclusive images which is why I'm wary.ReplyDelete

Fruit Salad is a seriously underrated dish that is perfect for serving at gatherings during HOT weather. I feel it's hard to go wrong with a bowl of fresh fruit, in any combination, but I wanted to share a lovely fruit salad I threw together from ingredients I just had "laying around the house". Almost any fruit would get-the-party-started-right with this super easy, gelatin-free sauce!
*I should probably confess that I compulsively acquire exotic fruits*
** I prefer not to use apples or bananas in fruit salads because they turn brown and look unappealing, but if these are the fruits you love: toss them gently with lemon juice after cutting them to preserve their original color.
Tropical Fruit Salad
No gelatin=vegetarian. Contains Casein (from milk) =NOT Vegan
Ingredients for the "Salad":
-8 cups fresh fruit, e.g.:
1 fresh pineapple peeled, cored and cut into chunks (about 4 cups)
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cups fresh lychee, peeled and pitted (lychee is available in canned form, but it is usually "in syrup." I avoid fruits in syrup.)
1 cups fresh rambutan (I had both lychee and rambutan that desperately needed to be used. Their flavor profiles are very similar and it is a bit redundant to use both, unless you already have them on-hand.)
-1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
*if you are more concerned with watching your fats and your calories than your carbs/sugars, try substituting shredded carrot for coconut. No fat. Very few calories. But it has triple the carbs and sugars.
Ingredients for the Sauce:
1 very ripe mango (or 1 ½ cups frozen and thawed mango)
Cream from 1 can coconut milk stored in refrigerator overnight(about ¾ cup)
1 package coconut agar dessert mix (I use the 2 oz Lobo brand package).
(to make coconut "cream", store canned coconut in the fridge overnight. Carefully without shaking remove can from refrigerator and invert. Use a can opener to open the bottom of the can. The cream should have separated and will appear as a solid(ish) white mass. Gently scoop out the white cream, careful not to disturb the clearer liquid. Reserve the liquid for a smoothie or chia pudding.)
In a large bowl, toss all your chunks of fresh, peeled fruit until evenly distributed.
Scoop the coconut cream into a medium sized bowl and whip until it is nice and fluffy. Return it to the refrigerator.
Place the mango and coconut agar dessert mix in your blender/food processor and puree until it is nice and smooth.
Fold the mango mixture into the whipped coconut cream.
Transfer the "sauce" into your large bowl of fruit and gently stir to coat all the fruit evenly.
Keep chilled until serving.

Open source database startup RethinkDB has raised an $8 million series A round, led by Highland Capital Partners. Like MongoDB, RethinkDB is designed to store JSON documents, but it boasts features around administration, scalability and functionality that MongoDB doesn't offer. Even getting close to MongoDB in terms of users (especially meaningful ones running in production) will be a tall order, but RethinkDB has raised $12.2. million in capital thus far, which isn't exactly chump change when it's all going right back into the product and the community.

About Mary Richardson
I met Mary in the Wine Department at H-E-B Vintage Market while I was grocery shopping and hoping to pick up a new bottle of wine to try. She saw me wandering, came up and asked how she could help. I already love shopping at H-E-B, but this made me love the store even more. It's great to find someone in a grocery store who really cares about wine and can guide customers in making good selections.
I soon found out that Mary has been working in the wine world for 10 years. She moved to Houston from Central Coast California and began working as a Wine Steward at H-E-B. She said her passion for wine has been an ongoing quest to learn anything and everything about the subject, and her job with H-E-B has provided an opportunity to travel the world and share her experiences with her customers. Sounds pretty good to me!
Now, she is sharing her experiences with all of us with her 5 Wines to Enjoy…
Mary's Top 5 Wines to Enjoy
One white wine under $20 and widely available in the US:
- Palacio de Bornos Verdejo
This wine is a great value (way under $20 and was featured on the front cover of Wine Enthusiast.) Zesty, clean, and refreshing, this Spanish white is perfect for our Houston weather!
One red wine under $20 and widely available in the US:
- Ondarre Reserva Rioja
Another Spanish wine and another great value. This wine was in the Spectator top 100 and the 2004 is still available! This amazing blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo is complex and delicious.
One splurge (whatever splurge might mean to you):
- Ramian Estates Chapter 8
This Bordeaux blend from Mt Veeder Napa Valley is predominately Cabernet. Decant and enjoy this unbelievably bold and rich wine.
Two others of her own choosing (these may be either easy or hard to find):
- Clone 7 Reserve Cuvee
This bold and complex wine is from Napa Valley and is full bodied with black fruit character with soft ripe tannins.
- Chain Gang
A bold Zinfandel based red blend from Sonoma – complex and luscious! If you are a Prisoner fan, you must enjoy this at half the price. Cheers!
And yes, all of these wines are available at H-E-B.

As I was looking over DailyTekk's analytics recently I noticed that a lot of people are landing on our site after Googling "what is coding?" Most likely, these searchers end up on a popular article I wrote awhile back called 7 Easy Ways to Learn Coding and Computer Science for Free or The 10 Best Ways to Teach Kids How to Code. But neither of those articles explains what coding is. So I've decided to put together a skimpost that breaks down exactly what coding is for complete beginners.
TIP: We publish useful new tech lists every weekday. See them all!
Also read: 100 Terrific Tools for Coders and Developers
- Code is a set of instructions (or rules) that computers can understand; it might be helpful to think of code as a recipe.
- People write code, code powers computers and computers power many everyday objects like phones, watches, microwaves and cars.
- In fact, almost anything powered by electricity uses code.
- There are many names for people who code: coders, programmers, developers, computer scientists, software engineers, etc.
- Computers run on binary code—written in 1s and 0s—which is very difficult for humans to work with.
- But just as people can understand different languages computers can understand different languages (like Python, C, C++, Perl, Visual Basic, Java, Javascript, Ruby and PHP, among others) which translate our instructions into binary.
- There are "low-level" and "high-level" coding languages. Lower-level languages more closely resemble binary code while higher-level languages are easier to code in.
- So learning to code is literally like learning a new language (learning to construct sentences, etc.).
- Most popular programming languages in use today are high-level languages.
- C is a low-level programming language that is good for graphics-heavy applications, like games.
- Javascript is for for the web.
- Perl is sometimes known as the "Swiss-Army knife" of programming languages because of it's multi-functionality.
- Many coding languages share similar basic features.
- A text file written in a particular programming language is called a program (think a set of instructions).
- There are many ways to learn how to code for free or very cheap.

In 1410 in Constance, Germany, the beautiful Marie Schärer's luxurious life as a merchant's daughter is destroyed when her ambitious father arranges her marriage to a lawyer from the Black Forest named Rupert Splendidus. Her childhood sweetheart warns her of the attorney's sly character and is tragically proven right the day before the wedding, when Rupert accuses Marie of unimaginable behavior and has her thrown into a dank dungeon, where she is brutally attacked by his henchmen. Unfairly condemned and banished from her home, Marie is forced to become a wandering prostitute to survive. The clever and kind Hiltrud befriends Marie, and the strong-minded pair sets out on spirited adventures - bedding counts, meeting scoundrels, and tricking foes - as Marie plots the ultimate revenge on the men who stole her honor and her family's fortune.
Set against a richly detailed historical backdrop, this is the dramatic tale of one woman's quest for vengeance, redemption, and real love.

November 1, 2013 — The first clinical trial in the United States to study the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) for femoropopliteal artery disease found the procedure is promising for safety and efficacy at six months. Six-month data of the LEVANT 2 trial was presented at the 25th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics scientific symposium (TCT 2013).
The trial examined the C. R. Bard Inc. Lutonix drug-coated balloon. The primary safety endpoint was composite freedom from all-cause perioperative death and freedom at one year in the index limb from amputation, re-intervention and index-limb-related death. The primary efficacy endpoints were primary patency of the target lesion at one year and absence of restenosis.
LEVANT 2 randomized 476 patients presenting with claudication or ischemic rest pain and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral or popliteal artery and a patent outlflow artery to the foot. After a successful protocol-defined pre-dilation, subjects unlikely to require a stent based on strict angiographic criteria were randomized two-to-one to the treatment with either a drug-coated balloon (DCB) or PTA alone with a standard balloon.
At six months by Kaplan-Meier time-to-event analysis, primary patency of the treated vessel was higher among patients treated with a DCB (92.3 percent versus 82.7 percent). Patients treated with DCB experienced similar freedom from major adverse events compared to the PTA group (94 percent in the DCB group and 94.1 percent in the PTA group). Repeat revascularization rates at this interim time point were low and consistent in both groups.
"During angioplasty, DCBs are designed to deliver an anti-proliferative drug directly to the tissues of the treated vessel wall, thus inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis without the need for a permanent foreign body implant," said Kenneth Rosenfield, M.D., section head, vascular medicine and intervention, chairman, STEMI and Acute MI Quality Improvement Committee, Massachusetts General Hospital and co-primary investigator of the study. "These findings are an important step toward making this novel treatment available to patients in the United States."
Bard acquired Lutonix Inc. in December 2011. The Lutonix drug-coated balloon received European CE mark approval in 2011. The device is not commercially available in the United States and is limited to IDE use.
The LEVANT 2 trial was funded by C.R. Bard and Lutonix. Rosenfield reported being a consultant for Abbott Vascular; equity in Primacea; research or fellowship support from Abbott Vascular, Atrium, Lutonix-C.R. Bard, and IDEV; board member of VIVA Physicians.

SPORTS BRIEFING | BOXING; Pacquiao Says He Plans To Sue For Defamation
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: December 26, 2009
Manny Pacquiao says he is planning to file a defamation lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mayweather's father and Golden Boy Promotions. In a statement posted on his Web site Friday, Pacquiao said that his character had been damaged and tarnished by accusations he says are untrue.
''These people, Mayweather Sr., Jr., and Golden Boy Promotions, think it is a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs,'' Pacquiao said. ''I have tried to just brush it off as a mere pre-fight ploy but I think they have gone overboard.''
A proposed March 13 fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. is in danger because the sides have failed to reach a compromise in a dispute over blood testing. Mayweather's camp wants blood tests that can find things urine tests cannot, like human growth hormone, and wants them done regularly by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. Pacquiao's side has agreed to both urine and blood testing, but does not want testing immediately before the fight because Pacquiao contends that giving blood so soon before a fight will weaken him.

HomeResearchReset or Restart? The Impact of Fukushima on the Japanese and German Energy Sectors
Reset or Restart? The Impact of Fukushima on the Japanese and German Energy Sectors
1 July 2012
Antony Froggatt
Senior Research Fellow, Energy, Environment and Resources
Catherine Mitchell and Shunsuke Managi
- Japan and Germany are on the brink of a national energy transformation, implementing new energy policies that reduce reliance on nuclear power as a direct result of the Fukushima disaster in 2011. Both are seeking a significant expansion of renewable energy and energy efficiency programmes that will lead to a decrease in consumption, with a higher reliance on fossil fuels also envisaged in the short term.
- In Germany the new national energy strategy, adopted by virtual consensus in the parliament, will phase out all nuclear power by 2022. In Japan, although some nuclear power stations are being restarted, it is doubtful that they will ever meet the pre-Fukushima contribution of 30% to the electricity mix, let alone the previously envisaged rise to 50% by 2030.
- Geopolitical considerations are vital for a successful energy transformation. Europe's integrated electricity grid has enabled Germany's relatively radical denuclearization without affecting energy service or price. However, Japan is unable to access electricity transmissions from neighbouring countries, and the fragmented nature of the national electricity grid has further exacerbated electricity supply.
- Public opinion has been a key driver for policy-making since the Fukushima incident. Public support has been and will remain the determining factor in the successful implementation of the new energy policies.

Greenwich hockey to face Ridgefield in Division I playoffs
Updated 12:34 am, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Winners of two straight FCIAC boys hockey championships, Ridgefield begins its quest to grab another title Wednesday evening. But Greenwich High School hopes to keep this championship out of the Tigers' reach.
The Cardinals and Tigers renew their rivalry Wednesday at 5:10 p.m. at Winter Garden Ice Arena in Ridgefield and much more is at stake than when the teams faced off on Jan. 25. It's win or go home, as fifth-seeded host Ridgefield and 12th-seeded Greenwich duel in the first round of the CIAC Division I Tournament.
Ridgefield (18-5) skated to a 3-1 win over the Cardinals (12-9) five weeks ago, but plenty has changed for both squads since. Raising their play to an even higher level, the Tigers have won six of their last eight games, including victories over top-seeded Darien in the FCIAC semifinals and St. Joseph in the finals. Greenwich, meanwhile, got hot at the right time, winning five of six toward the end of the regular season to earn a berth in the conference tourney, where it lost to New Canaan in the quarterfinals, 4-2.
"We're more confident with the puck now," Cardinals coach Bob Russel said. "We handle it better and we work with it better. Our team has really improved during the course of the season."
The Tigers scored all of their goals in the first period in their triumph against the Cardinals.
"We played really well early and had a few breakaways, a few chances, especially on quick transition plays," Russel said. "I'm sure they will correct that issue and we might not get as many of those chances, but we have to take advantage of our opportunities."
Just getting over an illness, sophomore goalie Bryan Archino didn't start against Ridgefield, but he held the Tigers scoreless once he went into the game late in the first period. Archino and the Cards' defensemen must be at their best to contend with a Ridgefield team that possesses a wealth of depth on its forward lines.
Sophomore forward Liam Smith scored twice, while MVP Cameron McGuire had one goal and one assist in Ridgefield's 5-4 victory over St. Joseph's in Saturday's FCIAC final. Senior forward Vincent Rella recorded a hat trick, while sophomore forward Alex Rowella and senior defenseman Geoff Schneider each tallied for the Tigers in their 5-2 FCIAC quarterfinal win against Trinity Catholic. Ridgefield has also received strong play from senior goalie Dustin Rausa (23 saves in FCIAC final).
"They are really deep and have three solid lines that can play well," Russel said. "You have to watch out for them all the time, you can't take a shift off."
Greenwich counters with sophomores Alex Bastone (the team's leading point scorer), Decker Curran and Matt Lodato on one line, sophomore Brian Silard, senior Paul Macken (assists leader) and junior Luke Finneran on another line, with sophomores Naoya Fukuchi, Ian Fulton and Tommy Feda skating on the third.
Five keys for Greenwich
Win some of the battles for the puck along the boards: Ridgefield excels near the boards, so Greenwich must not leave its zone too soon and focus on its positional play.
"They are really good at taking advantage of mistakes," Russel said. "We have to hang around in our zone and win those battles. They are a team that wins most of the stick battles on the boards. They're not a big team, but they are a team that battles. It's important for us to stay in the zone, win a battle first, then worry about the opportunity that comes later."
Capitalize on scoring chances: As Russel mentioned, the Cardinals had several scoring opportunities during their first meeting with the Tigers, but failed to light the lamp.
"This year, we've had trouble scoring against teams that defend well," Russel said. "Our team really needs to work hard to get to the front of the net and get pucks at the net. Making the most of our opportunities is going to be one of the keys."
Archino brings A game: One of the reasons behind the Cardinals' resurgence this season has been the play of Archino between the pipes. He performed well against Ridgefield in Jan., not yielding a goal, and the Cards need another impressive performance from him Wednesday.
Dynamite defense: Defensemen William Waesche, Tommy Rogan, Andrew Mitchell and Eamon McHugh must work hard to block both passing and shooting lanes, keeping the Tigers' aggressive forwards from moving freely in front of the net.
"There's a lot of them to worry about," Russel said of Ridgefield's forwards. "Their first line seems to keep coming at you, they really make things happen."
Stay out of the penalty box: Greenwich can ill afford to spend the majority of a period attempting to kill of penalties against a high-scoring Tigers team.
Outlook: Greenwich showed it can contend with Ridgefield in Jan., playing the Tigers to a near standstill after the first period. Falling behind 3-0 in this game won't do it for the Cardinals, so they need to set the tone from the start with a solid first period to upset Ridgefield. The Cards have begun games quickly of late, even their first period against New Canaan in the FCIAC quarterfinals was strong.

Vox Custom Series Amps
VOX Amplification has updated its classic AC30 and AC15 guitar amplifiers to create the new Custom Series. Models in the new series include the AC30C2X, AC30C2 and AC15C1. The VOX AC30 combo amp has long been an icon, known as the sound that powered the 1960's "British Invasion." First introduced in 1958, the smaller AC15 combo has been the amp of choice for countless guitar players.
True to their past, the Custom Series amps rely on 3 x 12AX7 dual triode vacuum tubes in the pre-amp stage, and 4 x EL84 pentode tubes in the power stage of the 30-Watt AC30C2 and AC30C2X. The 15-Watt AC15C1 uses 2 x EL84 tubes.
All Custom Series models offer two channels: Normal and Top Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls as well. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control. Both channels utilize the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone-shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain-staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom Series can deliver the coveted clean VOX "chimey" sound, a powerful overdriven tone, and everything in between.
VOX Amp Designers Dave Clarke and Tony Bruno combined the coveted sounds of a vintage AC amplifier with modern changes, giving these amps the extra reliability and tonal palette necessary for modern players. The Custom Series utilizes a solid state rectifier that makes the amp louder, tighter, and more responsive to pick attack while retaining the B-plus voltage, chime, tone and output stage compression of a vintage VOX AC30.
All Custom Series amplifiers provide the VOX Classic Tremolo effect, with adjustable controls for both the speed and depth. A warm Spring Re...

Most likely probably most likely probably most likely probably most likely probably the most modern IWC Portuguese Fake watches can definitely identify the word "Classic" within thetitle this is often frequently a very Swiss approach to showing a completely new watch.
2013 saw the expansionof the Portuguese Chronograph Classic, that added a completely new "in-house" flavor for thelegendary Portuguese collection. It absolutely was an easy launch after SIHH as 2013 was mostlyin regards to the Ingenieur amount of watches.
Nevertheless IWC Portuguese Copy Watches is dedicated to growing additionallyeffective and historic product family, but furthermore ongoing to supply as muchpieces within-house actions as you can. Let us possess a close notice.
We first proven the IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic here. Because previousarticle you'll get yourself a better understanding within the items separates the Portuguese ChronographClassic within the standard Portuguese Chronograph.
To conclude result's, the two models are extremelydifferent dimensions, acquiring a few other cases and dials, additionally to several actions. Tobe truthful, are frequently good options if you are a Portuguese lover - as each sinceit's high-points - nevertheless the IWC Portuguese Watches Replica Classic is very recommended a larger-finishitem due to the current-day in-house made movement.
It is extremely worth mentioning our review unit incorporated a faux alligator strap, which does notlook as nice since the straps you'd get if buying this watch. Why? Due to the factposting alligator (that's frequently ironic as alligator arises from the states initially) as well as other skins from endangered species for that USA must be transportedby the issue CITES compliant manner through customs.
As this is pricey and time-consuming, foreign brands frequently use fake alligator strapsfrom leather inside the items we have to have a look at to satisfy your needs they offer theu . s . states. That's not globally the problem, however, if the truth is an awfulsearching strap by enabling a normally nice watch, the primary reason.
With nevertheless, weclearly have observed the retail alligator straps that can come inside the IWC Replica Portuguese Watches. They are created by Santoni and they're beautiful. Unlikethe burgandy or merlot wine stained appearance inside the strap, the Santoni straps unquestionably unquestionably certainly are a more wealthywoodsy brown obtaining a beautiful feel and texture. IWC includes a inclination not to fuss ifthis requires nice straps.

As many as 156 Olive Ridley turtles have been found dead along the 120 km coastal stretch of Marina to Marakkanam in the last 10 days (1-10 January). While 104 of them were found dead between Neelankarai and Marakkanam, 52 perished on the Chennai coastline from Neelankarai to Napier Bridge, activists say.
Off late, the deaths have seen an alarming rise, with 30 of them found dead in the Chennai coastline in the last two days (9-10 January).
Tree Foundation's Supraja Dharini, who is working with Fisheries department and Chief Wildlife Warden in the stretch between Neelankarai to Marakkanam said that they have found carcasses of 104 turtles, and it's an alarming figure. "This is just the beginning of the nesting season, which lasts till March. Turtles are important in the marine ecosystem and their numbers should not dwindle," said Supraja.
Last year (2013), 198 sea turtles died in the stretch during the nesting season. She said that fisheries department has written 650 letters to the village heads in Tamil Nadu on conserving turtles, including cutting of the net to let them escape.
R Nishanth, a volunteer of Student Sea Turtle Conservation Network, which is also being supported by the state forest department, said that they found 30 carcasses of Olive Ridley turtles during a two-day walk between Neelankarai and Napier Bridge.
Akhila Balu, coordinator of Student Sea Turtle Conservation Network said they have till now found 52 carcasses of turtles between Neelankarai to Napier Bridge in 10 days.
The Olive Ridley turtles is recognized as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red list.
The turtles are usually found in the coast of Chennai between January to March as it is their nesting season. Nishanth and Akhila warn that unless measures like implementing the turtle excluder device or TED, a specialized device that allows a captured sea turtle to escape when caught in a fisherman's net, are not carried out, the species could become extinct.
According to activists, the fisheries department has been slow in preparation for the nesting season this year. Fisheries officials could not be reached.

Cool Your Heels
Have you ever taken a Latin dance class? At first glance, everyone comes off as shy, and then the movement heats up. An editor rushed into my office this morning to go over the shaking, twisting, gyrating, and swaying of her Zumba class the night before. The instructor didn't know much English, but her, "Let's go babies," got their attention as everyone twisted into nearly unimaginable postures. They danced muy caliente. Some things are just meant to be hot, while others are not.
In electronics, for instance, all goes better when heat responses are controlled. There are many approaches to mitigating excess heat generated by components crowded into denser, smaller packages and devices. In this supplement, "What's Cool and What's Hot," for instance, Jason Brandi of Henkel talks about new classes of phase change thermal interface materials (PC TIMS) that help with inadequate heat transfer associated with thermal greases and pastes. With wax-based materials, changes occur from solid at room temperature to liquid once excess heat from the devices pushes the material past its melting point. Unlike thermal grease, these TIMS do not migrate out of the interface. In the sidebar to this article, Andy Delano of Honeywell looks at the choice of grease or phase change material. He concludes that the decision of whether to use grease or PCM should include looking at the ease of application, re-workability, cost, shelf-life, and reliability. After 500 cycles, grease's performance begins to degrade, and by 1000 cycles its temperature has increased by 2°C. On the other hand, PCM's high viscosity allows it to remain in place and performance is stable.
Bob Conner of Nextreme Thermal Solutions talks about hot spots that exceed average die temperature due to designers' desire to place transistors in close proximity. Packing high-performance circuits together results in a rise in temperature. Conner suggests using an embedded thermoelectric cooler to cool hot spots, and therefore to increase product performance, reliability, and yield.
In the third article of this supplement, Sarang Shidore of Flomerics writes the most readable article on thermal modeling of semiconductor packages available. Really. He begins by looking at a normal detailed thermal model that reconstructs the physical geometry of a package. Constructing the detailed thermal analysis is added by integrating part mechanical CAD data. If done right, it will predict the temperature at various points within the package - which includes junction, case, and leads - regardless of the environment. This type of analysis fits design simulations with a few packages, but doesn't work as well for simulations of subsystems or system-level computations with numerous semiconductor packages, because the computational resources required for these large problems would be excessive. Lost yet? Next Shidore goes into explaining two models for handling this type of problem: two-resistor compact thermal models and the DELPHI compact thermal model.
There is just no denying that thermal issues surrounding dense packaging are more important now than ever. The heat of a laptop on your lap can point out that fact. Luckily, there are numerous solutions. Keep reading and we will keep supplying this type of valuable information.

text: With the goal of boosting interest in George Washington, in 2005 Mount Vernon commissioned three life-size reproductions of him at ages 19, 45 and 57. Enthusiastic prose and informative photographs convey in considerable detail the work on this project by a variety of experts, including sculptors, archaeologists, historians, dentists, painters, taxidermists and more. The process entailed extensive research, up-to-date technology such as laser scanners and age-old techniques of leatherwork and hand-sewing to form and clothe the lifelike figures now on display. Even one of his horses, Blueskin, was meticulously re-created. Chapters on the reconstruction alternate with biographical chapters about the corresponding years in Washington's life, when he was a young surveyor and soldier, Revolutionary general presiding over early battles and Valley Forge and incoming president. Quotations from Washington and his contemporaries add a personal note, while reproductions of portraits, statues and artifacts supply visual interest. Color photographs show some of the steps in the reconstruction. The narrow focus makes this handsome volume likely to appeal to visitors to Mount Vernon or those with a special interest in Washington or in such reconstructions. Suggestions for further age-appropriate reading supplement an extensive bibliography. (timeline, source notes, websites, index) (Nonfiction. 11-14)

Hi! I was wondering about the cloneNode method in the 980818 spec. As I read it, it says that it clones all attributes of an ElementNode, and all children of all nodes if it's a deep clone. However it also says that any other nodes except Element does only create a copy of the Node type without any data. Does this mean that for instance the subclasses of CharacterData nodes does not get their text-contents cloned? And how about tagName in Element and similar data? I think these kinds of data ought to be cloned. At least it's the only way to make a deep-clone which actually generates a copy of an entire subtree of a DOM node.

THE NEW WORK FORCE BUILDS ITSELF Innovative schools, adaptable employers, and a few government programs help workers find their way into the world aborning.
(FORTUNE Magazine) – WHAT will it take to provide workers with the attitudes and technical skills they need for the new economy? Schools that are linked with employers to integrate classroom instruction with practical on-the-job experience. Community colleges that offer the specialized training their local businesses demand. Companies that find new ways to teach and motivate employees. And government programs to steer dislocated people back into productive new careers.
Sounds like a tall order. But surprise: In their powerful, quirky ways, the market's creative-destructive pressures are already bringing forth just such imaginative adjustments. Only Washington is behind the eight ball, with proposals more likely to get in the way of change than to further it. Helping workers make their way breaks down into strategies for three discrete groups of people: students now in school; employees who will increasingly be shifting from company to company over the course of a career; and the low-skilled, largely unemployed left-behinds. The job will be easiest with the young, who will benefit from a combination of demographics and America's ability to generate jobs. Over the coming decade, the number of workers ages 25 to 34 will decrease by 2.9 million men and by nearly a million women -- drops of 15% and 6%, respectively. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, meanwhile, projects that the number of new jobs in every major occupational category, factory workers included, will grow -- in most cases at double-digit rates. Says Alan Reynolds, director of economic research at the Hudson Institute in Indianapolis: ''Young Americans will be in a strong position to enjoy rapid increases in real incomes over the next two decades.'' Youngsters are heeding the market's message that good pay demands good education and are entering the work force far better equipped than today's mature workers. (Better than half of the 33 million working-age Americans who did not finish high school are over 55.) Even as the public schools struggle to stiffen their lax standards, young people are making a vast, though still little appreciated, improvement in their schoolwork. The Department of Education's key indicators of academic performance have risen markedly across all racial groups -- partly because more kids are taking challenging math, science, and foreign language courses. The percentage of young African Americans who fail to earn a high school diploma has fallen by a third since 1980, to some 13% in 1991. And the proportion of high school grads going on to all types of colleges has climbed to about 62%, from 49% in 1980. Community colleges offer the rising generation some of the most exciting new routes into the emerging economy. Once the fallback for youths who could not handle the time or expense of a four-year education, these 1,200 schools are fast becoming the preeminent shapers of tomorrow's frontline workers -- many of whom have to finance their own schooling. Some six million students are enrolled for credit in community colleges today, a 250% increase since the late 1960s, and an estimated five million more are taking noncredit course work. Typical of the new breed, Thomas Nelson Community College has tied itself to 33 middle and high schools and to businesses large and small around its home base of Hampton, Virginia. In 1990, the school began targeting seventh- and eighth-graders of average ability who were not planning on college. With advice from business people, President Robert Templin and his staff developed a rigorous new curriculum that includes applied math, physics, chemistry, and biology. To add real-world relevance, technicians from nearby companies such as Canon and Anheuser-Busch make periodic classroom visits to demonstrate the problem-solving skills they use in their jobs. During summer breaks, some of the students -- mostly 14 years old -- attend what Templin calls ''academic boot camp'' on campus, where they continue their studies and get important training in teamwork and good workplace attitudes. The program, which now enrolls 2,500, is expanding as the kids progress through high school. Thomas Nelson has also joined with local Ford dealers and with NASA in nearby Langley to create mechanic apprenticeship programs. The space agency has hired some 800 graduates over the past decade. The Ford apprentices, who learn computer diagnostics, have an inside track on jobs that start at $19,000 a year and ultimately can rise to $80,000 for lead mechanics. But what future lies in store for inner-city youth? The BLS forecasts that African Americans and Hispanics will represent nearly a third of all new labor market entrants in the coming decade. Too many of them, raised in broken families and attending third-rate schools, aren't getting the attitudes and skills they need to make it in this job market. Most government efforts aimed at helping them have been both expensive and too scattershot to make much headway. One program that does help rescue young lives is the Job Corps, a rare, successful legacy of the 1960s Great Society initiatives. The nation's 109 Job Corps centers, most run by private contractors, work with young people -- mainly dropouts ages 16 to 24 -- for up to two years. Enrollees split their days between studying academic subjects and learning skills for such occupations as health care, building maintenance, or office administration. As they complete their formal training, they are placed with employers to get experience at wages averaging $5.58 an hour. More significantly, the centers focus on building good work attitudes. Counselors coach their charges on 50 so-called personal growth and development skills, including hygiene and appearance, taking initiative, and working cooperatively in teams. The training is backed up with a system of rewards and penalties. Every candidate is paid a small allowance during the time he or she is enrolled, with cash bonuses awarded to those who excel. But if they are disruptive, cut classes, or use drugs or alcohol, they are dropped. Problem is, the Job Corps program costs an average of $20,000 a year per student, because nearly all the centers are run as 24-hour residential facilities. This Ivy League pricetag limits the yearly number of enrollees to 62,000. Job Corps could leverage its good results by creating more nonresidential programs, like the one run in West Philadelphia. The day program there costs just $9,000 annually for each of its 225 students. Philadelphia Job Corps can serve many young people the residential programs cannot, particularly single mothers. It can also work more closely with employers and tap the resources of nearby Philadelphia Community College. Last year the program ranked near the top in the U.S. in academic performance, low turnover, and job placement. THE PEOPLE most likely to feel threatened by the epochal changes of the new economy are the millions of Americans already employed. Staring at the confusion of perpetual corporate reorganizations, they see only wave after wave of layoffs, not the opportunities presented.
Certainly these workers are a major concern of the Clinton Administration, which sees little evidence that corporate America is rising to the challenge of adapting to the new order. The Department of Labor estimates that just 5% of all U.S. companies have adopted ''high performance'' workplace techniques, such as total quality management and self-directed work teams. Investors are too impatient for higher short-term earnings, says Labor Secretary Robert Reich, to allow managers to change their old ways. That perception is based largely on undocumented numbers made prominent in a 1990 report by the Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce. More recent evidence from Paul Osterman, an organization development expert at MIT's Sloan School of Management, paints a different picture. Surveying 694 typical factories and offices, Osterman found that 35% used the new methods. And that's not the whole story. A lot of the adapting does not show up in Reich's narrow measure of ''high performance.'' As Osterman says, ''The market has become far too differentiated and complex for there to be one 'right' way to organize and manage employees.'' Insurance companies Chubb and AIG, for example, are two solid performers that take diametrically opposing approaches to managing people. Their methods were analyzed by Peter Cappelli, a management professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Chubb recruits bright young talent, invests heavily in their training, nurtures them in a wide range of assignments, and gives them broad leeway to demonstrate leadership. AIG, by contrast, hires battle-tested pros from outside and tells them to develop new market niches that senior management has identified. If they flounder, they are fired. Both companies succeed, says Cappelli, because ''each has a strategy uniquely suited to its employment practices.'' Enlightened employers like General Electric, Motorola, and AlliedSignal have discovered that a key ingredient for getting employees to acknowledge and embrace organizational change is compensation. Instead of handing out automatic annual pay increases based on job title and seniority, the common ! practice in the old economy, these companies reward teamwork, measurable quality improvements, and employees' acquisition of new skills. ''Getting the rewards right and steadily raising the goals is how a company communicates its values and direction to its work force,'' says Jay Schuster, a Los Angeles compensation consultant. Even small companies in mature industries, waking to the need for change, are finding ways to bring their employees aboard the process -- albeit ways that can seem harsh at first. Ten years ago, Robert Frey bought Cin-Made Corp., a manufacturer of paper packaging products in Cincinnati. It was losing as much as $30,000 a month on annual revenues of just $1.7 million. When Frey insisted that the 40 unionized hourly employees swallow a 25% pay cut, they went out on strike. The workers stayed on the picket line until Frey threatened to hire permanent replacements -- a tactic the Clinton Administration has vowed it will outlaw. When they capitulated, Frey told them he would never grant another pay raise. Instead, he offered to set aside 30% of all pretax earnings as a bonus pool and delegated to the workers -- most of them high school dropouts -- the authority to schedule production, control inventories, choose their own team leaders, and screen every new hire. Some were sent out to learn such techniques as statistical process control, which they then taught to teammates. Frey also began giving everyone detailed updates on Cin-Made's finances at monthly meetings. Says he: ''Our goal was to learn to become worthy partners instead of being worthy adversaries.'' Since 1989, workers' bonuses have added an average 30% to their annual compensation. THE BURDENS that accompany the evolution of the new economy fall heaviest on the more than four million workers who lose their jobs each year. For many, the result is a steep and permanent drop in earnings. They need help in acquiring up-to-date skills and counseling that can steer them to productive new careers. Today's programs for the unemployed are ineffective, obsolete, or fragmented -- often all three. The federal employment service, the principal exchange for matching people with jobs, offers little employment and even less service. The unemployment insurance system was designed for people laid off temporarily, not permanently. And the 151 government-financed worker-retraining programs are balkanized among scores of federal agencies, each having its own idiosyncratic eligibility standards. But new programs that work are sprouting up across the country. Example: Job Link in Louisville, a one-stop career center established by the nonprofit Louisville Private Industry Council in 1989. Job Link's holistic approach to putting people back to work begins with a half-day orientation program at one of its three cheerful, efficient offices. The job seeker then schedules a two- hour interview -- no waiting in line -- with a case manager. She conducts a full profile of the candidate's education, work history, and financial resources, and helps devise a strategy. People with good skills are referred directly to employment leads that Job Link keeps current by staying in constant contact with local businesses, which the agency refers to as its ''clients.'' Most of these job seekers find work in less than six weeks. Those needing more help take workshops in resume writing and job search skills, and get peer support to keep up morale. To learn more about occupations that interest them, job seekers are sent on ''shadowing'' visits to local factories or offices, where they tag along with a worker to learn what's involved. Once candidates are placed, Job Link stays in touch with the new employee and her employer to learn how the match is working out. Only as a last resort does Job Link enroll workers in formal training programs, which can last up to two years. Job Link tries to get the job seekers to pay what they can for their training. Says director Rick Tabb: ''When people buy into the program, their commitment to success is greater.'' Washington wants to help one-stop career centers like Job Link multiply, and hopes to begin rolling the concept out nationwide by 1995. Would that all of the Administration's ideas were so sensible and restrained. The Labor Department plans the most ambitious overhaul of America's labor market institutions since the Great Depression. But the effort can perhaps best be characterized as a ''field of dreams'' approach: Train the workers, and the good jobs will come. Inspired by Europe and Japan, the Clintonites are backing a vast expansion of government programs, and an easing of eligibility requirements for participation. Ignoring study after study showing that most federal retraining schemes don't work, they are proposing to double federal outlays for such efforts to some $13 billion over the next five years. Reich also wants business to underwrite more training for frontline production workers. Says he: ''Most of what employers now spend benefits managers with college degrees who need it least.'' Requiring employers to spend at least 1.5% of their payrolls on training, he says, is ''very much a goal'' of the Administration. Reich's aim is to help close the widening wage gap between unskilled workers and those who have college training. But James J. Heckman, an economist at the University of Chicago, calculates the U.S. would have to spend nearly $1.7 trillion to narrow the difference to the gap that obtained in 1979. That's assuming a 10% annual rate of return on the money spent. In fact, the return on public training schemes has been close to zero. MARVIN KOSTERS, a labor economist at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, argues that a universal mandate to train is exactly what employers don't need. Sending managers and skilled technicians to school, he says, makes sense because the payoff is higher. The more than $30 billion U.S. companies shelled out on formal training programs last year represents only a fraction of the huge but unmeasured investment they make in less structured -- but no less valuable -- on-the-job training that goes on when retrained skilled workers bring their new knowledge back into the workplace. Case in point: Cin- Made. Many companies that set out to redesign their work methods discover that they must increase the investment they make in managers and skilled technical workers. Nynex, the regional phone company, is retraining service representatives to handle all customer requests, from billing problems to new installations, using sophisticated information systems. Since the software will guide them, the frontline agents need only modest formal instruction and updating. Not so for the managers whose roles are being broadened. Nynex is rotating them through a new corporate training center to master such skills as competitive analysis, profit-and-loss accounting -- remember, this was a utility -- and leadership. If the goal is to encourage American workers to build their skills throughout their careers, why not further the trend already under way and let them decide what training they need? One means to do that, endorsed by experts such as Kosters and Heckman: Allow workers to put a portion of their pretax pay into an individual training account (ITA). As funds build up in an ITA, a worker could tap them to keep abreast of his changing occupation or to prepare % for a new one. Should he lose his job, he could use the ITA to offset lost income and pay for acquiring new skills. As the system currently operates, says Heckman, ''unemployed people are least able to afford training when they most need it.'' Perhaps Washington's most overreaching plan is its push to establish national skill-certification standards. Together with the Department of Education, Labor is financing projects run by national trade associations to develop ''voluntary'' certifiable skills for workers in 22 U.S. industries -- from cooks and industrial launderers to bioengineers and electronics specialists. With such a road map, the theory goes, both students and workers already in the labor force would know where to concentrate their education and retraining efforts. Each step of training would yield a certificate of mastery that the government hopes all employers will accept as a credential. The Administration will soon appoint a federal board to promote the standards -- and it has the support of many business groups. On its surface, the idea sounds reasonable enough. ''Workers with portable skills will enjoy greater security, and companies will find it easier to recruit work-ready employees,'' says Anthony P. Carnevale, vice president of the Committee for Economic Development, a business-financed research group in Washington, D.C. But so far the execution is underwhelming. After spending a year and $1.8 million, the American Electronics Association identified the 21st-century skills makers of electronic and computer equipment say they want in terms such as this: A ''manufacturing specialist'' must be able to ''establish customer needs,'' ''initiate and sustain communication processes and procedures,'' and ''make products that meet customer specifications.'' Similar institutionalese describes the essential ''competencies'' office administrators and sales people should have.
Left to their own devices, businesses, workers, schools, and students are finding their way into the future without this sort of blank map, thank you. For the past two years the Westin Hotels chain has been refining its own set of employee skill standards -- Westin calls them ''embedded values'' -- that it uses in recruiting, training, placing, and retaining its 35,000 employees. The hoteliers identified 14 key attributes workers from housekeepers to hotel managers must have. Besides technical competence, these include a capacity to demonstrate initiative, an ability to communicate clearly, and a commitment to quality. While most of the traits Westin wants sound soft, Johnna Howell, director of human resources, says these so-called affective skills are the hardest to find. Westin has learned to spot them in job candidates through questions that elicit how people respond to subtle challenges and knotty situations. By staffing its hotels with employees who can manage themselves and deliver high customer satisfaction, Westin has reduced both employee turnover and the need for managerial supervision. Would a nationwide credentialing system for hotel workers (the industry is working on one) make it easier for Westin to find skilled people? Not likely, answers Howell, who says Westin's recruitment methods give the company a unique competitive advantage. WHATEVER Washington does or doesn't do, this revolution will go forward on its own steam, with individuals hunting and pecking for opportunities across the emerging economic landscape. Business needs employees who will be flexible and ready to acquire new skills, and schools are learning to supply such graduates. But companies will have a role too -- and they will be motivated to play it. If flexibility becomes just a euphemism for ''You're fired'' -- rather than ''How can we work together to master change?'' -- the best employees will soon jump ship for employers who do better.
For all the criticism of U.S. education, youngsters enter the work force far better equipped than today's mature workers.
Community colleges are designing high-speed routes into the emerging economy.
The right government effort: Customer-focused, one-stop services match the unemployed with jobs.

Two quick announcements - 1) I'll be out of town next weekend visiting my sister in Northampton so no updates and 2) I had a nice interview with one of the white actors from Vishwaroopam for Outsider in Bollywood and will hopefully have that up soon. He had nothing but the highest praise for Kamal Haasan.
Quick news day today.
* Kamal Haasan's troubles may be at an end. 7 scenes to be cut from Vishwaroopam so it can be released. I wonder which ones... PS Do not read the comments to this article unless you need more excuses to hate humanity.
* Comedian Ashish Shakya puts things in perspective.
Khan's essay caught the attention of Pakistan's interior minister, Rehman Malik, who took time off from his busy schedule of denying 26/11 to ask the Indian government to provide SRK with security.
It's wonderful when two of the world's most-watched nuclear rivals set aside piddling matters like poverty, corruption and domestic strife to talk about a guy who peddles fairness creams.
* Luke Kenny (who?) complained that he was always getting typecast as the foreign friend post-Rock On. But doesn't that necessitate getting "cast"? I don't remember Luke Kenny being any kind of mega-talent, which unless you're Aamir Khan's nephew or sleeping with some producer, basically puts you in Hero's Best Friend territory.

In March, Danger told you about Donna D'Errico's, best known to perverts as Donna Marco on Baywatch (and Baywatch Nights and Baywatch: White Thunder at Glacier Bay) and to everyone else as the host of Battlebots and former wife of walking STD Nikki Sixx, quest to find Noah's Ark. Well, she's back. Let's see how things went.
!!! Either D'Errico got in Carmen Electra's way while she was rushing to the studio to record her part for Leisure Suit Larry: What's the Point of Living?, or the expedition didn't go well. Do tell, block quote:
Former "Baywatch" babe Donna D'Errico is recovering from some painful face injuries she suffered during an expedition to find Noah's Ark in Turkey.
D'Errico just released some photo…in which the actress appears to be sporting multiple cuts and bruises around her mouth and cheek…and a laceration on her leg.
It's unclear how Donna suffered the injuries. (Via)
I'm going to guess by looking for Noah's Ark on a mountain that's 16,854 feet tall.

This is the same reaction she would have gotten on any major US campus. And it's going to get worse over the next 4 years. A lot worse.
You are probably correct on the same reaction on US campuses. But it is a mistake to attribute it to BHO.
The leftist inculcation of our universities began in the 1960's and has continued ever since. To make matters even worse for attitudes towards Israel and in favor of Muslims, the oil rich Gulf States have endowed universities all over the US so now they are spewing Islamist propaganda from their newly created Middle East Departments.
This is important to comprehend because even when Obama is gone, even if Conservatives take back the government, the problem will continue as it did for decades under more conservative governments. The right has abandoned this front and the result is a more and more leftist population.

It might be helpful to review a bit of anatomy in order to explain how something like this can be difficult to diagnose. Let's start with the sacrum — a wedge- or pie-shaped bone that sits between the two pelvic bones. Above the sacrum is the lumbar spine. The last lumbar vertebra (L5) has two extensions of bone sticking out (one from each side) called the transverse process.
These bony wings actually form part of the sacrum and attach L5 and the sacrum to the ilium (upper portion of the pelvic bones). The narrow point of the sacrum ends where it attaches to the tailbone or coccyx.
The force of an impact causing a U-shaped fracture can break the transverse process where it comes out from the fifth lumbar vertebrae. The fracture forms a vertical (up and down) line partway down the sacrum. What makes this a U-shaped fracture is the horizontal (side-to-side) fracture connecting the bottom of the two vertical fracture lines.
Based on the history (how the injury occurred), an X-ray would be the first step. But this type of U-shaped sacral fracture can be missed very easily. The angle of the fracture and the shadow of the bowel can hide the fracture lines. It takes a special CT scan to find a fracture of this type.
The injury is rare enough and information on the accurate diagnosis scarce enough that additional imaging might not even be ordered. As in the case with your daughter, once new symptoms like numbness in the feet develop, the patient returns for further diagnostic workup.
Early diagnosis and treatment gives the best results. Treatment within the first two weeks following the injury is ideal. There are fewer negative long-term effects with early surgery when surgery is required.

Depending on whom you ask, classic vacations can range from a driving tour with the family to a spree at Walt Disney World. I actually know people who opt for the same lake vacation in Minnesota every summer, and in a sense, that annual pilgrimage could be considered a classic. The same applies to couples who take their children to the Polynesian Resort at Disney World every year. To each family, these vacations represent the epitome of "getting away."
Generally, though, I think of a true classic vacation as visiting a place with a long tradition of class and excellence, a place that has endured and maintained a certain panache through generations of visitors.

Police say Kervens was recklessly driving his black Nissan Maxima, when it careened off the Southern State Parkway and violently crashed into a tree.
She spoke with me outside of the hospital where her brother is in critical condition.
"Both of his legs have already been amputated, it's very hard to talk about it," said Tania.
Hard because four others were riding in the same car.
19-year-old Marlo Cabrera was also at the hospital with grave wounds, 22-year-old Antonio Rivas is at another hospital.
20-year-old Bryan Rivas and 22-year-old Bloosom Castro did not walk away, they were killed in the early morning crash,
"I heard the guy slide, not squeaking tires but like a tumble like a sound like a tumble," said eyewitness Jason Todeschini.
Todeschini ran outside and saw bodies scattered in these woods, 3 men had been thrown from the car, which was split in two when the roof hit this tree.
Todeschini has witnessed other fatal accidents in this exact same spot.
In 2008, a 27-year-old riding in a motorcycle was killed. Todeschini worries if something isn't done, someone else will die.
