The USA is no stranger to severe winter storms but the monster – known as Nemo – that hammered the north east coastal states over the weekend may have been supercharged by climate change according to some climate scientists.
The record-breaking blizzard was a result of two weather systems – a disturbance from the Gulf region with lots of moisture and a cold front from the west – colliding.
It dumped up to 40 inches of snow with hurricane force winds. At least nine people were killed and the storm cut power to about 700,000 homes and businesses. About 5,800 flights were cancelled.
Comparisons were drawn to Hurricane Sandy, which hit the north east states just three months ago, killing more than 125 people in 10 states. Sandy and a subsequent snowstorm a week later knocked out power to 8.66 million homes and businesses in 21 states.
Although superstorm Nemo was not as bad as some of the forecasts led many to fear, Milford in Connecticut got 38 inches of snow, and Portland, Maine, recorded 31.9, shattering a 1979 record.
And like all storms nowadays, the environment in which Nemo formed has been affected by climate change so, whilst there are many factors implicated in the creation of this storm, human induced climate change is one of them.
NCAR scientist, Kevin Trenberth told Climate Progress:
"Ingredients for a big snow storm include temperatures just below freezing. In the past temperatures at this time of year would have been a lot below freezing but the ability to hold moisture in the atmosphere goes down by 7% per degree C (4% per deg F), and so in the past we would have had a snow storm but not these amounts.
The moisture flow into the storm is also important and that is enhanced by higher than normal sea surface temperatures (SSTs). These are higher by about 1 deg C [almost 2°F] than a normal (pre-1980) due to global warming and so that adds about 10% to the potential for a big snow."
Sea level rise, caused by warming seas and melting ice caps also adds to the destructiveness of these superstorms. On Nantucket Island, where coastal flooding had been anticipated from this storm, the sea level has risen by about half a foot during the past 50 years.
Scientists have warned for some time that certain types of extreme weather will become more frequent and more intense as natural variability joins with background conditions altered by long-term climate change to supercharge events.
The US Global Change Research Group found in 2009 that cold-season storm tracks are shifting northward and the strongest storms are likely to become stronger and more frequent.
The naming of this storm 'Nemo' has caused some controversy. In the light of scientific warnings and current observations, perhaps 'Omen' would have been a more appropriate name.

Don't get me wrong, but acutally it would be just perfect if the US would be hit by one 'Sandy' followed by the next until even the last person is slowly realizing that something seems to be going wrong.
As cruel as it may sound: pray Nemo to be more powerful than anything US and human kind has ever experienced so far to wake them up.
One or two more "Sandy's " not somewhere in 3rd world but in the heart of the deniers...and things might start to change.

PS: in an atempt not to neglect my cynical roots...tell me, what is this fuss about storms?
We do have green clothes and no lack of (unconventionell) fossil-fuels (from fracking)! Just turn up the heat, put on another layer of toxic free sweaters and enjoy the action!
If you are wondering if you witness a hurricane: in metereological classes at university our Professor told us future captains to watch out for FLYING pigs. If you see any you experience a hurricane...if not it is just a storm and not worth to bother.

The distinction between a branch circuit and a feeder can be a source of confusion for many Code users. The first step in eliminating this confusion is to understand that the NEC defines a branch circuit as "the conductors between the branch circuit final overcurrent device protecting the circuit and the outlets" (such as receptacles or lights) [Art. 100], as shown in Fig. 1. By contrast, a feeder circuit runs from the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply to (rather than from) the final branch circuit overcurrent device.
The size of the circuit breaker installed on a branch circuit, not the conductor size, determines the rating of the circuit. Therefore, if the conductor size is increased to accommodate for voltage drop or for ampacity adjustment or correction purposes, the rating of the circuit remains the same as the circuit breaker size supplying it [210.3].
You'll find branch circuit requirements for conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, identification, GFCI protection, receptacles, and lighting outlets in Art. 210. Other Articles may apply to your installation; you'll find those listed in 210.2.
Multiwire branch circuits
A multiwire branch circuit basically consists of two or more ungrounded conductors that share a neutral. All conductors of a multiwire branch circuit must originate from the same panelboard [210.4(A)].
For personnel safety, each multiwire branch circuit must have a means to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors at its origin [210.4(B)]. If that origin is two or more breakers, you can provide this disconnect by using single-pole circuit breakers with handle ties identified for the purpose [240.15(B)(1)].
Multiwire branch circuits can supply only line-to-neutral loads [210.4(C)], except that a multiwire branch circuit can also supply:
- An individual piece of line-to-line utilization equipment, such as a range or dryer [210.4(C) Ex 1].
- Both line-to-line and line-to-neutral loads if the circuit is protected by a device such as a multipole circuit breaker with a common internal trip that opens all ungrounded conductors of the multiwire branch circuit simultaneously under a fault condition [210.4(C) Ex 2].
In multiwire branch circuits, the continuity of the neutral conductor must not be interrupted by the removal of a wiring device. In these applications, the neutral conductors must be spliced together at every device providing a pigtail to terminate to the wiring device [300.13(B)]. The opening of the ungrounded conductors, or the neutral conductor of a 2-wire circuit during the replacement of a device, doesn't cause a safety hazard, so pigtailing these conductors isn't required [110.14(B)]. Caution: If the continuity of the neutral conductor of a multiwire circuit is interrupted (opened), the resultant over- or undervoltage can cause a fire and/or destruction of electrical equipment.
The ungrounded and neutral conductors of a multiwire branch circuit must be grouped together using cable ties or similar means at the point of origination [210.4(D)]. These conductors are not required to be grouped if they are contained in a single raceway or cable unique to that circuit, making the grouping obvious.
If the ungrounded conductors of a multiwire circuit don't terminate to different phases or lines, the currents on the neutral conductor will add instead of canceling each other out, possibly overloading the neutral conductor.
Equipment grounding conductors are allowed to be bare, covered, or insulated. Insulated equipment grounding conductors size 6 AWG and smaller must have a continuous outer finish — either green or green with one or more yellow stripe(s) [250.119]. If installing equipment grounding conductors
4 AWG and larger, you can permanently reidentify the insulation with green markings or tape, or strip the insulation off of the conductor. This reidentification must be done at every point where the conductor is accessible [250.119(A)].
Identify the neutral ("grounded") conductor per 200.6. If 6 AWG or smaller, it must be white, gray, or some color other than green with white stripes along its entire length. For 4 AWG and larger, the same means of identification can be used, or it is allowed to use white or gray tape at terminations.
If you have more than one voltage system, then for each ungrounded conductor [210.5(C)]:
- Identify it by phase and system at all termination, connection, and splice points.
- Identification can be by color coding, marking tape, tagging, or other means approved by the AHJ.
- Document the method of identification in a manner that's readily available or permanently posted at each branch circuit panelboard.
Voltage limitations
In dwelling units, the voltage between conductors must not exceed 120V, nominal, when they supply the terminals of [210.6(A)] luminaires or cord- and plug-connected loads less than ¼ hp or less than or equal to 1,440VA [21.6].
Multiple branch circuits
If two or more branch circuits supply devices (or equipment) on the same yoke, a means must be provided at the circuit's point of origin to disconnect simultaneously all ungrounded conductors that supply those devices [210.7].
GFCI for dwelling units
Install a GFCI at a readily accessible location for all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles located in the following locations [210.8(A)]:
- Bathrooms.
- Garages and accessory buildings.
- Outdoors.
- Crawl spaces.
- Unfinished basements.
- Serving kitchen countertops.
- Within 6 ft of the outside edge of sinks, in addition to the requirements for kitchen sinks.
- Boathouses.
- Each dwelling unit of a multifamily dwelling that has its own grade level entrance must have at least one accessible GFCI-protected receptacle at 6½ ft or less above grade [210.52(E)(2)].
- Balconies, decks, and porches attached to the dwelling unit and accessible from inside the dwelling must have at least one GFCI-protected receptacle outlet accessible from the balcony, deck, or porch [210.52(E)(3)].
However, you don't need GFCI protection for a receptacle supplied by a branch circuit dedicated to fixed electric snow-melting, deicing, pipeline heating, or vessel heating equipment, if:
- The receptacle isn't readily accessible, and
- The equipment or receptacle has ground-fault protection of equipment (GFPE) [426.28 and 427.22].
GFCI for non-dwelling units
Install GFCI at a readily accessible location for all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles in any of the following commercial/industrial locations [210.8(B)]:
- Bathrooms.
- Kitchens (not required for hard-wired equipment).
- Rooftops (A 15A or 20A, 125V receptacle must be installed within 25 ft of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment [210.63]).
- Outdoors.
- Sinks (except in laboratories where removal of power would introduce a greater hazard or in patient bed locations of general care or critical care areas of health care facilities).
- Indoor wet locations.
- Locker rooms with associated showering facilities.
- Garages (where electrical diagnostic equipment, electrical hand tools, or portable lighting equipment are to be used).
- Boat hoists.
You don't need GFCI protection for a receptacle supplied by a branch circuit dedicated to fixed electric snow-melting, deicing, pipeline heating, or vessel heating equipment, if:
- The receptacle isn't readily accessible, and
- The equipment or receptacle has ground-fault protection of equipment (GFPE) [426.28 and 427.22].
Note: The list of GFCI requirements in 210.8 is not all-inclusive. For example, there are also GFCI requirements for cord- and plug-connected vending machines and electric drinking fountains in Art. 422 [422.51 and 422.52].
Number of circuits
There's no maximum number of receptacles on a dwelling unit circuit. But how do you determine the minimum number of circuits for general lighting and general-use receptacles? Divide the total calculated load in amperes by the ampere rating of the circuits used [210.11]. See Example D1(a) in Annex D. If you calculate the total load based on VA/square foot, ensure the individual loads are evenly proportioned among multioutlet branch circuits within the panelboard.
Required circuits
It's not just the total number of outlets that matters. The NEC also requires certain types of circuits in specific places in addition to the minimum requirements based on the VA/square foot calculation.
A dwelling unit kitchen, dining room, breakfast room, pantry, or similar area must have at least two 20A, 120V small-appliance receptacle branch circuits [for the 15A or 20A receptacle outlets required in these rooms by 210.52(B)]. These circuits can't supply other outlets [210.52(B)(2)], including those for lighting. You can use one 3-wire multiwire circuit or two separate 120V circuits [210.4(A)]. At least two small-appliance circuits must supply the receptacles above the countertops [210.52(B)(3)].
Provide one 20A, 120V branch circuit for the receptacle outlets required by 210.52(F) for the laundry room. The 20A laundry room receptacle circuit can supply more than one receptacle in the laundry room. This receptacle can't supply other outlets, such as the laundry room lighting or receptacles in other rooms (Fig. 2).
GFCI protection isn't required for 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles in a laundry room, unless they're within 6 ft of a sink [210.8(A)(7)].
Provide one 20A, 120V branch circuit for the receptacle outlets required by 210.52(D) for a dwelling unit bathroom or multiple bathrooms. This circuit can't supply other outlets, such as receptacles in rooms other than bathrooms or lighting outlets [210.11(C)(3)], as shown in Fig. 3.
An alternate method allows this circuit to supply all of the outlets in a single bathroom, including lighting and fans, if no single load fastened in place is rated more than 10A [210.11(C)(3) Ex and 210.23(A)], as shown in Fig. 4.
This gives you a good start on understanding branch circuit requirements. In our next issue, we'll look at some additional branch circuit requirements, starting with arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs).

Columbus Crew 1, New York Red Bulls 1 | MLS Match Recap
COLUMBUS, Ohio – In a match that perhaps deserved more goals, the Columbus Crew and New York Red Bulls played to a 1-1 draw Saturday at Crew Stadium highlighted by a Jairo Arrieta penalty kick and a stunning individual effort from Bradley Wright-Phillips.
The draw, Columbus' third straight, keep the Crew (3-1-3) atop the Eastern Conference standings, while New York (2-2-5) continue their surge with a three-game unbeaten run after starting the season winless in their first six games.
Rather than protect against fatigue in their third game in 10 days, New York head coach Mike Petke named the same starting lineup as Wednesday's 4-0 rout of the Houston Dynamo, while Columbus' Gregg Berhalter replaced the suspended Bernardo Anor with Justin Meram.
And Columbus looked frazzled by the early pressure applied by New York after their last three opponents – Toronto, San Jose and D.C. – all seemed comfortable with sitting back in defense against the possession-oriented Crew attack. If not for excellent goalkeeping from Steve Clark, New York would have been on the board in the first five minutes.
But as New York pressure dropped, the Crew became more comfortable in possession and dealt better with the Red Bulls' attack. New York's duo of Thierry Henry and Wright-Phillips, so prolific in their midweek 4-0 drubbing of Houston, were held in check for much of the first half, finding space tough to come by in the Columbus third.
Costa Rican forward Arrieta opened scoring in the 39th minute after Meram earned a penalty while trying to get on the end of a cross just outside the 6-yard box. New York defender Kosuke Kimura dragged Meram to the ground, and referee Geoff Gamble whistled for a penalty that few disagreed with.
Arrieta stepped up for the penalty kick – rather than Columbus' usual spot kick specialist Federico Higuain – and slammed a hard shot off of the underside of Luis Robles's crossbar, giving the Crew an ever-important first goal before the half.
New York's answer came in the 66th minute, when Wright-Phillips made a juggling turn just outside the Crew box and hit a perfectly placed volley into Clark's far post. The keeper was powerless to stop the shot that bounced off the inside of the bar and into the goal, drawing New York level with less than half an hour to play and continuing Wright-Phillips's hot streak.
The Red Bulls seemed to succumb to tired legs in the final 30 minutes of the match, dropping deep and emulating the popular strategy to shut down the Crew offense. Despite introducing multiple offensive-minded substitutes in the game's final minutes, including speedy forward Dominic Oduro, the Crew could not break the New York defense, icing the draw.
Columbus next travel to Sporting Kansas City on May 4, while New York visit FC Dallas the same day.

Anyone think Banks should get a spot start in the rotation ? place Jesse into the 'pen and see what happens. Wells should be shut down for the rest of the year, and Zaunie should be playing a little less with Thigpen up here.
gsumner & garryguy,
Love the Blue Jays ( last night anyway )
Burnett pitched great, imagine if the guy could stay healthy. He would win 20 and would have a chance at the Cy Young. IF he is healthy. Not many pitches have better stuff than he does.
Thigpen should be playing almost everyday-not once a week. Lets see what the kid's got. I also agree Wells should go under the knife immediately to be really ready for next year.
Banks, I'm not crazy on-he didn't do well at AAA and frankly I'm not sure why they brought him up. I'd like to see a 6 man rotation through the end of the year with Banks being one of them. That way all starters get a bit of a break
So who would you rather have for 100 mill-Dice-k or Halliday & Burnett?
I see Stairs has decided not to sign a new contract until the seasons's over. He probably found out Abner's coming back and he doesn't want to play for a manager next year that can't fill our a lineup card.
I'll take 2 for 1 anyday of the week.
well that's about what the salaries add up to. Looks like Dice K dodged a bullet in the 1st.
Obviously you added the 51.1 million posting fee.
Dice K. will be a rock for the Red Sox pitching staff for years to come. That is what it is all about. Pitching important games for the next several years.
bosox I see you dream like we do dice-k found out our rise cakes are bigger to chew here lol.
gsumner thanks I was lost,I forgot Jordans working this wk.
Garry-I won't comment on the lost statement. lol
I think he'll be a reasonable 3rd or 4th starter, but it's a lot of money to pay for that.
well if we ever want to try to win this game Da kid should be yanked. Doesn't have it tonight.
It all about the money just ask Stairs.
This offence and Abner next year c-rap.
Well let's hope the kennedy experment is over
Hey Brandon has got most of his velocity back-thats good news
97 to 99 with 7 to 9 inches of break, yep, I'd say Brandon is back
Finaly a bright spot.
again same spot
Look at the bright side at least we didn't play a double header.lol
Gibbons will be back what does everyone have to say about that.
Interesting day-we pick up another has been retreat, lose a game and win a championship.
The Jays picked up Joe Inglett from Cleveland on waivers today-I guess the question is why?
The good news of the day is the Auburn Doubledays won the championship in the short season New York Penn league tonight with a 4-1 win over the Brooklyn Cyclones. Auburn has been divisional winnners for 6 years in a row, but this is the first league championship since 1998.
Cecil Brett (remember that name) a 21 year old, 6'3″ 220 pound lefty went 7 innings,gave up 4 hits, 1 run and struck out 8. Cecil was the 38th pick overall in the 2007 draft and was the closer at Maryland where he set an all time saves record. His era at Auburn this year was 1.27.
Cecil's arsenal includes a 95-97 mph heater and a real nasty slider. We must like Maryland, because one of Cecil's school mates, Seth Overbey was drafted from the same school in 2006 and has now risen to New Hampshire in AA.
As I have previously posted we have some great young pitching talent that came into our system at both Auburn and The Gulf Coast Jays this year, with 10-15 of them with era's under 2.00.
We had two pitchers being number 1 and number two in era in the Gulf Coast league-James Dougher and Brian Letko with eras of 1.56 and 1.50. We had two others in the top 10. Auburn's pitching sort of stands on it's own.
As these kids develop and move on up in the system, we will have tremendous depth in pitching as good or better than anyone in baseball.
So although I really dislike the decision made to keep Abner, I do like who ever it is selecting these kids, cause man we have some good ones.

Price breaks winless streak as Rays notch series win
HOUSTON -- The number of bats Jerry Sands possessed dwindled just before his go-ahead single.
Three consecutive pitches resulted in a broken bat for Sands in the eighth inning. The first two were fouled off, taking a slice out of each bat. The third went fair, as Sands was jammed inside and hit a soft single to left field to score Matt Joyce with the go-ahead run in a 4-3 win over the Astros.View Full Game Coverage
HOUSTON -- The number of bats Jerry Sands possessed dwindled just before his go-ahead single.
Three consecutive pitches resulted in a broken bat for Sands in the eighth inning. The first two were fouled off, taking a slice out of each bat. The third went fair, as Sands was jammed inside and hit a soft single to left field to score Matt Joyce with the go-ahead run in a 4-3 win over the Astros.View Full Game Coverage
The Rays took two of three games from the Astros to win their first series in their last five attempts while they've tumbled to the bottom of the division.
"I need to get a bat order in now, I guess," Sands said. "I don't think I've ever broken two in an at-bat, but three consecutive swings was pretty crazy."
With runners on first and second in the eighth inning, the pinch-hitter wanted to make sure he wouldn't hit a ground ball. His goal was to elevate a pitch, so when the Astros' Jerome Williams threw a sinker, he made an effort to get his bat in front of the pitch. The result was a foul ball and a sliver of the bat breaking off. The next pitch was a cutter with a nearly identical result.
Williams tried to jam Sands on the third pitch, but Sands still lofted it into shallow left field for the team's fourth run. Jake McGee came on in the ninth inning and closed the Astros out for his second career save.
"I think I had a little more adrenaline knowing it was a one-run game," McGee said.
Rays manager Joe Maddon went with McGee because he likes him facing right-handed hitters, and the Astros were slated to have three coming up that inning.
While McGee pitched the ninth, David Price threw 116 pitches in the previous eight innings, holding the Astros to three runs. Price struck out 10 Houston batters, including four against rookie George Springer, for his third consecutive game with double-digit strikeouts. He tied a Rays record for consecutive games with at least 10 strikeouts set by James Shields in 2012.
"David is one of the best athletes I've ever met," Maddon said. "He's one of the several really good pitchers that I think can throw a fastball strike whenever he wants to."
Price has thrown six games this season with 10 or more strikeouts, which ties a career high for one season set in 2011. In those six games, he has 65 strikeouts with just three walks. Price has 121 strikeouts on the year with 10 walks.
"He's a bulldog on the mound and he's going to come after you," Houston's Dexter Fowler said after the game.
With the Rays' struggles this year, Price had to take a minute in the clubhouse to think back to his last win. It came May 24 against Boston. He moved to 5-6 on the year with an ERA of 3.93.
Yet, Price wasn't the focus of the Rays postgame celebration. That honor goes to Tampa Bay's video coordinator, Chris "Chico" Fernandez. On Saturday, Maddon had lost a replay challenge on a close stolen-base attempt. He went on to say that if that call couldn't be overturned, then no play could be.
Sure enough, Maddon learned that wasn't the case. It appeared Desmond Jennings had grounded into an inning-ending double-play in the sixth inning with Yunel Escobar crossing home from third. Maddon challenged the call at first and it was overturned, resulting in Escobar's tying run counting. The run tied the game at 3-3.
"I did not think we were going to get that one," Maddon said. "We've had others that I thought should've gone our way that have not, i.e. yesterday."
The replay and the broken bats worked in the favor of the Rays, who were in desperate need of a series victory having not won a series since May 23-25 against Boston.
"It's great to do that," Maddon said. "We need to start winning series and we did."

Any woman can get bacterial vaginosis. Having bacterial vaginosis can increase your chance of getting an STD.
What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an infection caused when too much of certain bacteria change the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina.
How Common Is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection in women ages 15-44.
How Is Bacterial Vaginosis Spread?
We do not know about the cause of BV or how some women get it. BV is linked to an imbalance of "good" and "harmful" bacteria that are normally found in a woman's vagina.
We do know that having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners and douching can upset the balance of bacteria in the vagina and put women at increased risk for getting BV.
However, we do not know how sex contributes to BV. BV is not considered an STD, but having BV can increase your chances of getting an STD. BV rarely affects women who have never had sex.
You cannot get BV from toilet seats, bedding, or swimming pools.
How Can I Avoid Getting Bacterial Vaginosis?
Doctors and scientists do not completely understand how BV is spread, and there are no known best ways to prevent it.
The following basic prevention steps may help lower your risk of developing BV:
- Not having sex;
- Limiting your number of sex partners; and
- Not douching.
I'm Pregnant. How Does Bacterial Vaginosis Affect My Baby?
Pregnant women can get BV. Pregnant women with BV are more likely to have babies who are born premature (early) or with low birth weight than women who do not have BV while pregnant. Low birth weight means having a baby that weighs less than 5.5 pounds at birth.
Treatment is especially important for pregnant women.
How Do I Know if I Have Bacterial Vaginosis?
Many women with BV do not have symptoms. If you do have symptoms, you may notice a thin white or gray vaginal discharge, odor, pain, itching, or burning in the vagina. Some women have a strong fish-like odor, especially after sex. You may also have burning when urinating; itching around the outside of the vagina, or both.
How Will My Doctor Know if I Have Bacterial Vaginosis?
A health care provider will look at your vagina for signs of BV and perform laboratory tests on a sample of vaginal fluid to determine if BV is present.
Can Bacterial Vaginosis Be Cured?
BV will sometimes go away without treatment. But if you have symptoms of BV you should be checked and treated. It is important that you take all of the medicine prescribed to you, even if your symptoms go away. A health care provider can treat BV with antibiotics, but BV can recur even after treatment. Treatment may also reduce the risk for STDs.
Male sex partners of women diagnosed with BV generally do not need to be treated. However, BV may be transferred between female sex partners.
What Happens if I Don't Get Treated?
BV can cause some serious health risks, including
- Increasing your chance of getting HIV if you have sex with someone who is infected with HIV;
- If you are HIV positive, increasing your chance of passing HIV to your sex partner;
- Making it more likely that you will deliver your baby too early if you have BV while pregnant;
- Increasing your chance of getting other STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. These bacteria can sometimes cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can make it difficult or impossible for you to have children.

The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), California's giant pension fund, owns a major chunk of Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the fracked-oil Dakota Access Pipeline through the Standing Rock Sioux sacred lands in North Dakota. As of December 8, CalPERS owns 1,064,034 shares worth $36.8 million. In addition, CalSTRS, the schoolteachers' retirement fund, owns debt securities (bonds) worth $28.7 million.
California retirees shouldn't be investing in this pipeline — investing in the destruction of their children's future. The pipeline is intended to carry fracked crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken shalefields through North and South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. In the process of construction, Energy Transfer Partners has already damaged numerous sacred sites and would drill under the Missouri River, the sole drinking water source of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The Army Corps of Engineers denied the permit to drill under the Missouri, but we expect the incoming Trump administration to ram the project through — if investors like CalPERS and CalSTRS keep backing this foolhardy project.
To California State Treasurer John Chiang, California State Controller Betty Yee, and the other board members of CalPERS and CalSTRS:
Divest fully from the Dakota Access Pipeline companies!

MKR recap: Tempers flare, tensions rise as hate is the main order of the day at Deb and Rick's
We begin with the voiceover informing us that token grandparents Deb and Rick will "pull out everything they've got" – a genuinely terrifying notion.
They explain how they first met and how hot Deb looks in a bikini and quickly make this history's least appetising cooking show.
Deb and Rick's instant restaurant has a beachy theme, spiced up with "Naughty Nan's Corner", which is a corner you can visit to see Deb wink at you and make you throw up. They begin their cooking by preparing dessert – trifle. Deb makes custard, which she has been making for forty years, and which she immediately ruins. The suspicion grows that Deb is a fantasist who has never cooked in her life, and Rick is her carer.
Rick and Deb begin peeling prawns. Rick wants to get changed. Deb wants to peel prawns. Cracks appear in the marriage.
Meanwhile, Kelly says she doesn't think she's going to like Deb and Rick's style of food, because it is food and they are people. She notes that "Deb and Rick's" is not an original name and that therefore they definitely can't cook and that also she is the worst person in the world.
Tension rises as Vikki begins serving champagne in a distinctly threatening manner, and spills champagne on Kelly's dress, in what is the least violent thing anyone could possibly do when holding a champagne bottle near Kelly.
Vikki claims it was an accident. The viewer hopes she's lying. The atmosphere is so tense you could cut it with Chloe's face. It's clear that tonight is not about food, it's about young women hating each other.
Pete and Manu arrive and talk rubbish about expecting amazing food for no particular reason. Deb presents Manu with a nude painting of herself due to an under-medicated variety of psychopathy. Manu immediately files a sexual harassment suit.
As everybody waits for Kelly to begin biting the twins, the entrée is served. The entrée is some chips and prawns, smothered obsessively in dressing by an increasingly unstable Deb. Kelly thinks it looks like a dog's breakfast because she feeds her dog prawn and potato chips every morning.
Manu likes the prawns but not Deb's apparent belief that they were on fire and had to be doused by dressing. Pete thinks the dish was "disjointed" due to his belief that an entrée is a screenplay. The other guests find the dressing overpowering, in the sense that an ocean might overpower a goldfish.
The main is trout filled with pesto, but god knows why. Rick and Deb tie the trout with a string to ensure it doesn't try to escape or call for help.
"I'm worried," lies Kelly, who is literally sexually aroused by the misfortune of others. In the kitchen Manu tells Deb she's doing it wrong, and Deb bursts into tears, her dream of marrying Manu in tatters. The trout isn't working well – its skin is slimy and untrustworthy and has to be removed.
The main is served Chloe and Kelly are outraged that their food has been arranged in a smiley face, as they are offended by any sign of human happiness.
Pete discovers a bone in his fish – Deb and Rick drew the short straw to be this season's bone-in-fish-leavers. The guests think the fish is delicious: Chloe thinks it was poorly presented, but she's one to talk.
It's dessert time. Kelly admits she is not a trifle fan, which is not surprising given that trifle is a thing. Meanwhile Deb and Rick have turned their cake into a smoking pile of rubble. Disaster looms – their trifle has no cake and it seems the only way out will be ritual suicide.
It's now one-and-a-half hours after the main course and as the guests' stomachs bloat, they decide to make another cake, thus forcing everyone to spend even more time in Chloe and Kelly's company and leaving Deb and Rick vulnerable to a complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner.
In the dining room Andrew passes the time by making stupid noises and being hated by everyone.
In the kitchen the new cake is done, and so, mere weeks after the dinner party started, dessert is about to be served. Pete considers the trifle to be the best dish they've made tonight, although it lacks the ability to rub your feet and book tickets to Hawaii that would have justified the amount of time it took. Emilia notes that the trifle has no wow factor, and she's a woman who knows about having no wow factor.
Kelly says, "I don't think you'd really call it a trifle, from what I know of trifles", thus proving she doesn't know anything of trifles, because of course it is a goddamn trifle and bloody hell Kelly get your hand off it.
Deb and Rick having suffered from their penchant for over-dressing their prawns and refusing to serve dessert until they've finished watching the extended edition of Return of the King.
They also suffer from Chloe and Kelly's personalities, but they're hardly Robinson Crusoe there. The guests' total score was 28 out of 50. They get 41 from the judges, thus ending up with 69, which isn't a great score but perfectly adequate because of Andrew and Emilia, God's gift to their fellow contestants.
Tomorrow night it will be Chloe and Kelly, who are aiming to get the highest score in MKR history, but are likely to lose points due to the strategic misstep of showing everyone their personalities prior to their turn at cooking.

The 2011 AAA Photo Contest is a showcase of anthropology at its best. Of the 93 photos submitted, AAA members selected their favorites in each of the four categories: Practice, People, Place and Process. You can view the top 20 photos in Anthropology News. Here on the AAA blog, we will feature several of the photos in this blog series, Photo Friday.
Title: Urban Saci Graffiti in São Paulo, Brazil
Photo Courtesy of Reighan Gillam
Contest Category: Place
Caption: Saci is an Afro-Brazilian folkloric character commonly depicted standing on one leg, smoking a pipe, and wearing a red cap. He is nationally renowned as a trickster and the protagonist of minor pranks. Appearing on the outside of a commercial building in the centro district in Sao Paulo, this graffiti art reinterprets Saci within the context of urban life and critiques Brazilian racism. It visually illuminates the contradiction between Saci as an endearing figure of national sentiment and a potential threat should he physically appear in the street, where police would probably subject him to the scrutiny, harassment, and violence meted out to many Afro-Brazilians on a daily basis.

Kurdish rebel leader calls for cease-fire
DIYARBAKIR, Turkey (AP) — The jailed Kurdish rebel leader called Thursday for an immediate cease-fire and for thousands of his fighters to withdraw from Turkish territory, a major step toward ending one of the world's bloodiest insurgencies.
Hundreds of thousands were gathered to hear the message in Diyarbakir, the largest city in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, where Abdullah Ocalan's rebel group has been waging a 30-year battle against the Turkish government for autonomy and greater rights.
Though there was a cautious response from the Turkish government, the announcement at a Kurdish spring festival was met with joy from the crowd. People sang and danced, waved rebel flags and banners with images of Ocalan and cheered at the prospect of an end to a conflict that has cost tens of thousands of lives.
Turkey announced in December that it was talking to Ocalan with the aim of persuading his Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, to disarm. The group is considered a terror organization by Turkey and its Western allies.
In his message read by pro-Kurdish legislators in the Kurdish and Turkish languages, Ocalan said: "We have reached the point where the guns must be silenced and where ideas must speak. A new era has started, where it is politics, not guns, which is at the forefront."
"We have reached the stage where our armed elements need to retreat beyond the border," Ocalan's message continued.
Despite his 14-year incarceration in a prison island off Istanbul, Ocalan still wields power over his rebel group. PKK commanders based in northern Iraq have declared support for the peace initiative and the fighters were expected to heed Ocalan's call.
Nevertheless, Turkey's Interior Minister Muammer Guler sounded a note of caution.
"The language was one of peace (but) we must see how it is implemented," the state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Guler as saying.
Kurdish rebels have declared cease-fires in the past but these were ignored by the state, which vowed to fight the PKK until the end. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government has also admitted to having held failed, secret talks with the PKK in past years, but this latest attempt — held more publicly and with Ocalan's greater participation — has raised hopes for a successful negotiated settlement.
Government officials have warned of possible attempts to "sabotage" the talks by groups opposed to the peace initiative. Erdogan on Wednesday suggested that attacks this week on the Justice Ministry and the headquarters of his ruling party — which wounded one person — may be an attempt to hurt the process.
In a poignant reminder of the precarious nature of the initiative, a sign posted on a podium set up at the venue of the festivities read: "We are ready for (both) peace and insurgency."
Ocalan's message did not include a time frame for his fighters' retreat, suggesting that the Kurds may be expecting the government to take some confidence-building steps. Turkish Justice Minister Sadullah Ergin suggested earlier this week that the withdrawal could be completed by the end of the year.
As part of the peace efforts, the government is expected to boost the rights of Kurds through a series of reforms, including a more democratic new constitution that is likely to underscore equal rights for Kurds and could increase the power of local authorities. Kurds are also seeking the release of hundreds of Kurdish activists jailed for alleged links to the PKK as well as improved jail conditions for Ocalan who is serving a life prison term on an island near Istanbul.
But many Kurds believe Ocalan should be freed as part of the peace deal. "A democratic solution and freedom for Ocalan," read a poster. "As long as Ocalan is not free, peace would be a mistake," said another.
A key demand by the PKK is guarantees that its fighters would not be attacked during any retreat. Erdogan has said he is open to the creation of an independent committee that could oversee the withdrawal of an estimated 4,000 rebel fighters, initially to northern Iraq.
Turkish forces reportedly attacked PKK guerrillas as they retreated in 1999 while obeying orders from Ocalan who had appealed for peace soon after his capture that year, as well as during another unilateral decision to withdraw in 2004.
"A door is opening from the armed struggle toward the democratic struggle," Ocalan said. "This is not an end this is a new start."
"We have sacrificed decades for the (Kurdish) people. We have paid a huge price," Ocalan added. "None of it was in vain. The Kurds gained their self-identity."
The spring festival, or Newroz — which means "new year" — is mainly marked by Kurds in Turkey. Kurdish demonstrators in the past have used the celebration to assert Kurdish demands and many events have resulted in violent clashes between participants and Turkish security forces.
In a gesture in support of the peace efforts meanwhile, the families of Turkish soldiers and Kurdish rebels killed in the conflict assembled around a "reconciliatory" dinner table in the southeastern province of Sanliurfa on Wednesday, news reports said.
Kurds make up an estimated 20% of Turkey's population of 75 million. The rebels took up arms in 1984 to fight for Kurdish independence but later revised that goal to autonomy in southeastern Turkey. The group frequently launches attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq.

Last year, some 53 million Americans filed their taxes from the comfort and convenience of a personal computer. This year, more are expected to do so. (See Tech Links in the News for the Web sites to file for federal and state taxes, and to file for an extension.) Clearly, the computer-savvy are less worried about transmitting personal information over the Internet.
But in fact, while there are precautions to take when filing taxes – experts recommend the use of a personal computer used only by the tax filer – there is an increasing problem of cyber-crime, and nowhere more than in New York.
This month, Howard Carmack was found guilty of sending over 800 million spam messages from e-mail accounts that he opened under the names of two unsuspecting upstate New York residents.
This is the first case of identity theft -- a crime under New York State law since October 2002--prosecuted by the state Attorney General's office. New York was one of the last states in the country to enact such legislation. "The guilty verdict shows that those engaged in identity theft and cyber-crime will be discovered, prosecuted, and convicted of their crimes," said Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
Identity theft is "crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain" according to the U.S. Department of Justice. These crimes include fraud involving credit cards, telephones, utilities, banks and loans.
Currently, identity theft is a serious problem in New York City. In 2001, New York had the highest number of identity theft victims nationwide. Nationwide, there were over 160,000 victims of identity theft in 2002 according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In 2003, the city had almost 9,000 acts of identity theftas compared to Rochester (355), Buffalo (208), Yonkers (147) and Syracuse (91).
While the increased use of computers to store sensitive information is one reason for the rise in identity theft, often criminals steal paper records to get access to personal information. With only someone's name, date of birth, social security number or credit card number, an identity thief can cause substantial financial damage. In January 2004, New York State passed a law requiring businesses to remove the expiration date and print only the last five digits of credit cards from receipts.
Credit card fraud is the most common type of identity theft. In recent years, criminals have attacked computer systems and used hand-held technology to steal personal information from Automated Teller Machines, a practice called "skimming." For example, last December three men stole $225,000 from 300 cardholders by stealing personal information from an ATM in a Manhattan candy store.
Currently, the City Council Committee on Consumer Affairs has three bills under consideration aimed at protecting and informing consumers about identity theft. These bills make businesses and the government responsible for protecting sensitive personal information. The first would allow the commissioner of the Department of Consumer Affairs to suspend, revoke or refuse to renew business licenses if the business has violated New York State identity theft law two or more times. The other two proposed laws require city agencies and businesses licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs to inform citizens when there has been a security breach of their personal information.
At a time when more--not less--personal information is being collected and stored in government and private sector computer databases, it is vital that New York City agencies and businesses be penalized if they are not able to guarantee the security of such information. Moreover, since New York State has been slow in implementing such legislation, it is important that the city move quickly to pass identity theft legislation to stop the high rates of the crime in New York City.
However, in the end, citizens—not governments and businesses--should be the true owners of their personal information and identities. Ken Jordan, an independent writer and digital media consultant, has collaborated with technologists and activists to develop an innovative proposalon how to best give citizens control of their personal information. It envisions a system of "online citizenship" that will not only curtain identity theft but also allow New Yorkers to participate more effectively in decision-making on local issues faced by the city.

From incredible canoe journeys to wild winter wilderness camping, Northern Tier promises the Scouting adventure of a lifetime in the Great North Woods of northern Minnesota and Canada. Northern Tier is the Boy Scouts of America's gateway to adventure in the Great Northwoods. In the Summer, scouts from Northern Tier's three wilderness canoe bases explore millions of acres of pristine lakes, meandering rivers, dense forests and wetlands in Northern Minnesota, Northwest Ontario and Northeast Manitoba. In the winter, Northern Tier is home to the Okpik Cold Weather Camping program, the BSA's premier winter high adventure program. Fall programming is also available.
Philmont Scout Ranch, the Boy Scouts of America's premier High Adventure? base, challenges Scouts and Venturers with more than 214 square miles of rugged northern New Mexico wilderness. Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country. Philmont is a national High Adventure base, owned and operated by the Boy Scouts of America. Philmont is large, comprising 140,711 acres or about 220 square miles of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rockies in northeastern New Mexico. Philmont has high mountains which dominate rough terrain with an elevation ranging from 6,500 to 12,441 feet. Philmont has established special use permits with several neighbors: US Forest Service - Valle Vidal Unit of the Carson National Forest; Barker Wildlife Management Area, New Mexico Game and Fish Department; Kimberlin's Ponil Ranch; Rich Cabins/Greenwood Tract and Heck/Dean Tract of the Vermejo Ranch; and Chase Ranch. Each neighbor has established specific use requirements. These additional lands add about 110,000 acres for a total use area of 250,000 acres or 390 square miles.
Situated in the wilds of West Virginia, The Summit is a training, Scouting, and adventure center for the millions of youth and adults involved in the Boy Scouts of America and anyone who loves the outdoors. The Summit Bechtel Reserve is also home to the National Scout Jamboree and the Paul R. Christen National High Adventure Base which complements the three existing bases: Philmont Scout Ranch, Northern Tier and Florida Sea Base. High adventure at Summit Bechtel Reserve adds a new dimension to the Scouting experience. High adventure is not just about adrenaline and the wow factor, it's about digging deep within yourself, finding out what makes you tick and discovering how to push beyond what you think you can do. The Paul R. Christen High Adventure Base offers seven programs within three program categories: The Summit Experience program provides an introduction to all components of the Summit Bechtel Reserve Adventure Zone; Focused Programs allow Scouts and Venturers to focus primarily in one particular area of the Summit Bechtel Reserve's adventures and concentrate on developing their skills in that focus area while still having some time for elective choices, and; Trek Programs take advantage of one of the greatest natural resources in the eastern United States: The New River Gorge. Camp in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains either along the river or off the trail overlooking the gorge. Get ready for the next century of Scouting.

The City of Portland is pleased to announce that the National Alliance to End Homelessness awarded the Oxford Street Shelter as one of its recipients for the 2017 Innovation and Excellence Awards. The Alliance's Annual Awards Ceremony honors those individuals and organizations making extraordinary efforts to end homelessness in their communities, and recognizes their impact in advancing the mission to end homelessness nationwide. This year's ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 26 at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
The Oxford Street Shelter is honored for its "Long Term Stayers" initiative. In the face of state budget cuts and overwhelming shelter capacity issues, this effort was conceived as a means of better identifying, prioritizing, and housing those individuals who had spent the most cumulative nights in emergency shelter. In the program's first two years, 125 people – representing a combined 150 years of shelter stays – have been successfully housed. As a result, the Long Term Stayers initiative has decreased the total number of people seeking shelter on a given night, reduced the total number of bed nights used, eliminated the need for multiple overflow shelters, reduced the rate of returns to homelessness, and built broad community will towards ending long-term homelessness in Portland.
"This initiative has been successful in uniting a community around a single, achievable goal," said Rob Parritt, Manager of the Oxford Street Shelter. "We have so many tremendous community partners and agencies at the table every week and this initiative could not be successful without them. The amount of skill, expertise and problem solving in one room all working in the best interest of our most vulnerable neighbors is truly impressive."
"Ending homelessness in any community demands a relentless focus on innovation and pursuit of excellence," said Nan Roman, President and CEO of the Alliance. "This year's awardees demonstrate the power and potential to create lasting change and put us on the road to ending homelessness. We are delighted to recognize their outstanding efforts."
About the National Alliance to End HomelessnessThe National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonprofit, non-partisan, organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United States. As a leading voice on the issue of homelessness, the Alliance analyzes policy and develops pragmatic, cost-effective policy solutions; works collaboratively with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to build state and local capacity; and provides data and research to policymakers and elected officials in order to inform policy debates and educate the public and opinion leaders nationwide.

text: Lorinser is a German tuning house that adds elegance to its go-faster efforts. For example, this is their take on the new generation of Mercedes-Benz CLS. Lorinser has given the front fascia a work-over, added side skirts, a spoiler sitting at the top of the rear window and a diffuser out back that makes room for four exhaust pipes. Yet these aerodynamic parts seem to complement the car's original lines. A new set of springs lowers the suspension by about an inch, while a tweak of electronics and better breathing from the stainless steel exhaust hikes engine output (Lorinser doesn't give figures for the CLS550, which is the only non-AMG model for sale in the USA, but brings another 20 hp to the Euro-spec 350). For an added touch of devilment, the 155-mph electronic maximum speed limit can be lifted. And then there is a choice between two handsome alloy wheel designs, each available in 19- or 20-inch sizes. It doesn't come cheap; the body kit alone costs 8,230 euros. Still, for something subtly different from any other CLS, it could be worth it.

I am just about to "invest" in a cheap Windows 2008 VPS ($30 per month!) which comes with 1GB.
Before I do that I thought I would ask if its realistic to expect a usable server with only 1GB of RAM?
I intend to use it for light development/prototyping work which means 5-10 small websites running on IIS 7 + .NET 3.5 + SQL 2008 Express. If any of my ideas take off I will be upgrading the RAM of course, but I am just curious whether the server would be crippled or unbearably slow with only 1GB etc.
I suppose having SQL on the same server may be the biggest problem...
UPDATE: Forgot to mention that its 64-bit windows if that makes much of a difference to memory requirements. Apparently its also Enterprise edition (perhaps I should disable some features on this edition?)

This is not that blog.
Alex's birthday was weeks ago. The reason I'm writing about it now is that his present came last week and it was exciting. Sadly, he was out of town when it arrived, so he was the last one to use it, but the kiddos and I really enjoyed it.
I should back up. Well, I "shouldn't," but I want to and it's my blog so I won't not be backing up for you.
Jack threw up in the hallway at school the day Alex's gift arrived.
Wait. I should back up. (See above.)
Jack gets carsick. Jack especially gets carsick in the morning. Jack has to ride in my car for an hour every morning because of our fucked up driving schedule. Usually he's okay, but sometimes he pukes because of this. I prefer that he do it a block away from the school, but that doesn't always happen. One time I opened the car door in the drop off lane and he leaned out and puked all over the curb in full view of the main office.
Once you puke at school, you are officially persona non grata for that day. It doesn't matter that I know and you know and Jack knows and the whole damn school knows that it was because he was carsick. If a kid throws up on school grounds and an adult witnesses it, you have a buddy at home for the day.*
(*Exception: Quinn. Sometimes they let him stay because he pukes if you, like, cough loudly in front of him.)
Anywho. I drove all my kids to school that day, came home, sat down, and the phone rang. It was my friend, the school nurse. Jack never even made it to class. He threw up right in the hall. You know the rest.
So, Jack and I were at home. We had a brief but intense scuffle over the homework he would have been assigned that day. I emerged with a Phyrric victory.
All of that is to say that Jack was home when Alex's birthday present arrived.
Oh no. I fear I have to back up again.
I bought Alex's birthday present a long time ago. I mean, there is no way on earth that it would have arrived in time for his birthday, but it surely shouldn't have taken as long as it did. See, I bought Alex a hammock. He asked for it and I thought it was the stupidest present ever, but I decided to buy it for him anyway.
The hammock part of the thing came quickly, but the hammock stand did not. Eventually I got an email from the vendor saying that my return had gone through and that my money had been refunded, which was a drag because I was not entirely sure that I could hold up a hammock USING AIR.
It turned out to have been a mistake. "The shipper damaged the package during shipping," they told me, "and just returned the remains to us."
Naturally I wonder what exactly the hell happened to that hammock stand. Remains? Really? I almost asked for a photograph, but the customer service rep was busy helping me re-place the order and waiving the shipping so I didn't want to rock the hammock, so to speak.
So, hammock remains...shift forward...Jack carsick...shift forward...Jack at home...shift forward...hammock stand arrives.
Are we all caught up? Good.
So, after the homework battle was waged and won and the video game reward was presented and used, we needed another activity. The arrival of the hammock stand was perfect. Jack was tailor made for hammock stand unpacking and construction, mostly because it involved lots of metal tubes packaged in bubble wrap.
*I* was less delighted by the contents of the package, mostly due to this:
Fortunately, my partner had a gung ho attitude and set to work.
We even found a secondary use for the hammock stand.
The next step was maybe even more fun for Jack than the bubble wrap because it involved carabiners and chains, which offered all kinds of shiny metal fun. I'm actually a little surprised that he hasn't since disassembled the thing.
Jack was excited to be the first one to try out the hammock.
By sheer coincidence, I happened to be taking a photo when Jack and I discovered the back breaking capabilities of the hammock as well.
Evidently there is a balance element to sitting in a hammock.
So here's the thing about the hammock. It has turned out to be maybe the most awesome thing we've ever owned. Jack lies in it and it kind of wraps around him and swings and is in the sun and is sort of the best thing ever for a kid with the exact sensory seeking profile as Jack.
I think that Alex thinks it is all right too. Quinn was so thrilled when he came home. He made me make him a glass of lemonade with ice cubes and a bendy straw to take to the hammock, because evidently that is what you do when you have a hammock.
I've been won over too. Somewhere between snuggling with Jack in the sun and sitting in the thing while Jack asked if he could gently rock it, I decided that we might be a hammock family after all.

As promised, here are the blog entries from my old blog.
Ah the wonders of technology, at least they help to dissuade the ire of delayed travellers. On a briefly personal note, I'm currently stuck at an airport, my flight delayed by 5 hours. Fortunately, however, VISA and internet are there to the rescue. After checking if I could find any wireless networks I was rewarded with a dynamic IP (this is a small airport in the middle of nowhere, I hadn't expected it). After filling in the passport to all doors, my VISA-card number, I am in and able to let the time pass by a bit more pleasantly.
I'm still undecided about the claim I made in my previous post regarding the fact that posting blogs that are more personal is uninformational. In a way, whatever one writes is conditioned by their personality, state of mind and body of knowledge. And some posts, specially those that are more philosophical in nature, will most likely rise from a more personal tale instead of rising from nothingness in an objective statement of their own. Perhaps I should rephrase my position in saying that it is of less (rephrased from 'no') interest to read about personal feelings and the likes.
Anyways, time like this is great for writing papers (which I should be doing) as all the other distractions are removed. So with that thought I'm finishing this entry to get some work done.
I really like my new layout. Thanks also Klaas for his insightful CSS tips which cleaned it up a bit. He was also telling me to completely shift away from table's but I'm too lazy for that and will stick with this for the moment as it works for the time being. I did notice something. My blog page was showing differently, the font was much bigger. In the end it turned out the be the first xhtml remark at the top of the page before the html tag begins. That, I must say, I found rather appalling.
On a briefly more personal note, guess who I heard from today \o/. It's always nice to hear from her, and if you're reading, hi sweetie!
Anyways, returning back to more technical aspects, as this blog is after all for that. (I might go into detail in some other blog perhaps why I don't think personal blogs are that interesting, though to some this might be obvious already). Currently I'm using blosxom for blogging purposes. It can do online as well as offline generation of blogs. It's rather simple, just requiring some html files and some settings. I generate them on my harddrive and then just rsync my entire home-page darcs repository to the university server. The reason for this is that I am unable to run cgi on the university server, not that this is bad, I find the current solution simple, sleek an elegant. However there is one issue with this, it is impossible to have comments in reply to my blog.
There are several different solutions to this, and if anyone has any other solutions by all means feel free to share them .
- I ask people to email me and select out the most interesting remarks and put them in separate blog entries as trackbacks (or possibly even hack the blosxom system so that it can be linked in more cleanly)
Pros: Requires no technical challenges
Cons: Requires a lot of work, will most likely limit my response rate.
- A second option would be to use the blog I started on blogspot. However I'm rather enjoying the current setup where everything integrates so neatly.
Pros: Easy to do
Cons: Spreads out the content of my site
- Within a similar line, I could move this entire site to my personal homepage. Truth be told it doesn't appeal to me so much.
Pros: Would probably work after getting a proper cgi to fit nicely in my template
Cons: I am not happy with the service provider and they only allow ftp access (which I can't get from work). The current system or rsyncing is rather spiffy and clean.
Anyways, as always suggestions are welcome, I would prefer if people used my gmail email for this. I'll most likely build a filter so people can easily comment to my blog and I'll then categorize it separately so I can easily take stuff and put online.
Using darcs
I was trying to get back a really old version of a darcs repository of a tool I am working on. The reason I wanted to rollback so much is that because the really old version has a GUI although it has much more limited capabilities. Anyways I found that unpull and unrecord didn't work correctly for some reason. I was informed that it was unable to pullback for some reason. After talking on #darcs and having them tell me to run 'darcs check' I noticed that the repository was correct. Therefore they suggested that I send a bugs notification. I think it has something to do with a file having moved around. I've done that quite a bit in this repository as I reorganized the different compiler parts and override filenames with new files where old files were residing. For instance:
darcs add AST
darcs mv AST.hs AST/AST.hs
touch AST.hs
darcs add AST.hs
darcs record
Anyways I mentioned my darcs-apply tool that copies a forest of darcs to another forest of darcs, prompting in the case a repository does not exist in the destination forest. They seemed interested but suggested I use a different name. I will most likely move the code from my personal wiki at http://notvincenz.com to here, because I'm not too happy with the clutter of the wiki. They did however suggest that I change the name of the little tool. Maybe Multidarcs? Comments are welcome at my gmail email
Lastly I suggested that they should enable pushing and pulling from remote scp darcs repositories without having darcs remotely installed. They suggested I just use rsync instead, as it would be more efficient than doing a pull of the remote repo, applying the patches locally, and then resending the repository. They said that if someone coded it they'd probably put it in darcs, but it seems to be a low priority. I guess I'm stuck using rsync to uni for the moment then, oh well.
Getting started
Well finally, thanks to dons I have my website up. I still need to modify it a bit as I will most likely take another background image. After all having a complete clone is hardly a good idea.

Google Apps for Education - Safety and Security
Thoughts about education, technology, and learning - because nothing is as good as a good theory - in practice
Posted by HCT at 8:22 AM
A group of us have been reading up on best practices in instruction based on research and have been looking for common themes and/or terminology. At the same time we have been investigating how those fit into the Danielson framework. Based on that research I have been trying to cross reference all of it to come up with a common statement that describes the best practices and philosophies that will help to lay groundwork for each domain.
Here is what I have so far:
Posted by HCT at 6:35 PM
Over the past couple of years we have "tightened our belts" across the district. The technology budget and plan is dedicated to maintaining current technology. Yet we still want to encourage our teachers to create and enhance instruction with technology - especially using best practices.
To encourage this we have begun a process called "Enhancing Technology Proposals" (here is the template for the requests: http://goo.gl/G3h6o). The goal of this is to allow teachers to propose innovate ways to use technology in an action research format. This will accomplish a few things:
There have been several requests this year for adding additional technologies in various areas around the district. As you know, the current technology plan only has funds for maintaining current technology. However, the Cabinet would like to receive proposals for new technology enhancements that may improve instruction.What process do you use for these types of requests and how to you ensure they are instructional in nature?
Proposals for next year (or future years) can be submitted to the Cabinet by completing this proposal form (http://goo.gl/G3h6o) and sending it back to me by April 27th of this year. The proposal format is designed to favor ideas that are built around best practices of instruction and are research based. Teachers are encouraged to work on proposals, but the proposal must be submitted by an administrator.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to fund any of the proposals we receive, but we are open to reviewing them and trying to find creative ways to make some of them happen.

Bloody show is blood-tinged mucus that may come from the vagina as
labor begins. When the cervix thins (effaces) and opens (dilates) during early
labor, the mucus plug that has been in the cervix will loosen and pass out of
the vagina, along with a small amount of blood.
