INDIANAPOLIS–Members of Lions Clubs International are making significant contributions to philanthropy in the United States and internationally, a new study by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University finds.
One of the first international surveys of a large voluntary service organization to include a focus on the role of women, the study reflects the responses of more than 2,700 Lions clubs members from 12 countries in five regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. It was sponsored by Lions Clubs International and CCS, an international fundraising, consulting and management firm, through the William B. Hanrahan Fellowship at the Center on Philanthropy.
Lions clubs members' rates of both charitable giving and volunteering are significantly higher than the general population in all 12 countries. In the U.S., Lions clubs members were nearly four times more likely to volunteer and one-and-a-half times more likely to give to charity than the overall population.
Internationally, 92 percent of Lions clubs members surveyed donated to charitable causes and 86 percent volunteered.
In the U.S., 97 percent of members donated and 97 percent volunteered.
By comparison, approximately 65 percent of all American households give to charity; 26 percent volunteer, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service.
"We are pleased to release this new study as we prepare to celebrate Lions Clubs International's 95th anniversary this year," said Peter Lynch, executive director of Lions Clubs International. "The study findings highlight the strong connections Lions clubs members have to their communities. These findings reaffirm what we thought, but until now we have not had the data to quantify Lions clubs members' action and community engagement worldwide."
Lions clubs members' active engagement in philanthropy may in part be because the study found Lions clubs members have higher levels of social trust in people from other religions and nationalities than does the general population, said Una Osili, director of research for the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. Higher social trust can help strengthen civil society.
"Lions clubs members are a key force in philanthropy around the globe," Osili said. "Service clubs have promoted civic engagement and strengthened communities since the early 1900s. This research confirms that they continue to play an important role in building global civil society in both developed and developing countries."
Although Lions clubs members are well known for supporting vision and eye care programs, their giving and volunteering extends to supporting all types of charitable causes. While the majority of giving and volunteering was through their local Lions clubs, about one-third of volunteering hours were done outside the Lions clubs, showing a wide range of community engagement. Lions clubs members are also widely engaged as donors. In addition to vision care, members were most likely to make charitable donations to meet basic needs and for disaster preparedness and relief, as well as health and wellness.
Women are increasingly recognized as philanthropic leaders around the world; the new study is among the first to show that women are assuming leadership positions in voluntary service clubs and philanthropy internationally.
Overall, more than half of Lions clubs members surveyed reported that women and men Lions club members participate equally in their club's leadership.
The vast majority of Lions clubs members in 11 of the 12 countries surveyed (between 60 and 93 percent) said men and women were equally considered for leadership roles, and similar percentages said gender did not limit the ability to advance as Lions clubs leaders. (The question was not asked in one country.)
"Women now comprise 23 percent of membership worldwide," said Wing-Kun Tam, International President of Lions Clubs International. "Over the past decade, the greatest area of membership growth in Lions Clubs International has been in female members. From 1996 to 2011, female membership increased substantially in all 12 countries surveyed, growing most in developing countries such as China, India, Mexico, and Nigeria."
Two reports were produced from the study. Serving, Giving, and Leading in the United States provides an in-depth look at philanthropic engagement of U.S. Lions clubs members, and Serving, Giving, and Leading Globally explores cross-country comparisons. An executive summary and both reports are available on the Center on Philanthropy website at http://philanthropy.iupui.edu/Research/giving_fundraising_research.aspx#LionsClub.
The reports also are available on the Lions Clubs International Foundation website at http://www.lcif.org/EN/_files/pdfs/US_Report_Study.pdf and http://www.lcif.org/EN/_files/pdfs/Global_Report_Study.pdf and on the CCS website at http://ccsfundraising.com/images/stories/pdf/LCIUSReport.pdf and http://ccsfundraising.com/images/stories/pdf/LCIGlobalReport.pdf.

8:50- drive Noah to school
9:00- take Kamron to work then rush home for psychology appointment for Miles
10:00: begin marathon psychology appointment (an hour and a half!) for Miles. I love love love that Miles therapist is so into helping him.
11:45- run to Noah's school to pick him up, swallow food on the go and get to Miles 3(ish) year checkup.
12:45- doctors appointment that went on forever trying to figure out why our kid won't grow. Today's stats for an estimated 36-39 month old. 31 inches tall and 22.8 pounds. Tomorrow's agenda includes fasting blood work to check for juvenile diabetes and thyroid conditions. Good times.
2:00- leave doctor's office and speed down the interstate to get home to get Sadie off the bus
3:00- waste time blogging when I should be doing a million other things
4:00- get one to Karate
5:15- pick up daughter and go rescue husband from work
5:30- get dropped off and scrape together some dinner before hubby has to get to church for a meeting.
7:00- baths, homework,spongebob,stories, teeth, prayers, lather-rinse-repeat
As I sat in my car to and from all these appointments I wondered why in the world I bothered to go to college and get a marketing degree. I should have just majored in carpooling! (Or nursery rhymes or laundry or dirty dishes or potty training) It seems like every few weeks we have a stretch of days where all of our appointments just mount up and all of our committee meetings all meet at the same time and I am reduced down to just my driver's license. It is these weeks where I want to pull my hair out and I have to remind myself why it is that we don't just sell everything and go live in a shack on the beach with no possessions but our bathing suits and some lawn chairs. Come to think of it, I can't really remember why it is that we don't do that. Hmmmm. There's a thought.
If you can't find me it's because I'm in my car...

The final year of the First World War affected the events at Fenway Park in a number of ways. With many players abroad fighting, the Red Sox won the American League Pennant during a shortened season and won their fourth World Series Championship of the decade. The ballpark hosted a crowd of 30,000 for a war memorial mass in late May.
Record: 75-51, 1st in American League
Manager: Edward G. Barrow
Attendance: 249,513
Postseason: Won World Series
For the third time in four years, the Red Sox won the World Series, though this was one of the more unusual seasons in baseball history. Hanging over the season from beginning to premature end was the threat that baseball would shut down due to World War I. Many players signed up to work in industries deemed essential to the war effort, pre-empting them against the draft. Indicative of the ongoing turnover, the Red Sox had nine different players at third base during the course of a season, which ran only 126 games before ending early on September 2.
Ed Barrow was hired as manager of the team and the season began with appeals to the crowd to buy Liberty Bonds to support the war. Babe Ruth drove in two runs on Opening Day and beat Philadelphia, 7-1. The Sox started 6-0 and found themselves in first place almost all season long.
On June 20, star pitcher Dutch Leonard, who had pitched a no-hitter just a few weeks earlier, had his classification in the military draft change. Leonard quit the team to take a job at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts. Eight days later, Babe Ruth hit his 10th home run of the year, becoming the only player to hit at least 10 homers and win at least 10 games as a pitcher in the same season.
In 1918, Ruth also began playing in the field more regularly when he wasn't pitching. His 11 home runs led the American League (his teammates accumulated just four home runs) but his eccentricities provoked concern from team officials. In early July, Ruth went AWOL from the team, with word getting out that he'd signed to pitch for the Chester (Pennsylvania) Shipbuilding Company team. He came back three days later but his erratic behavior was less than pleasing to both Barrow and Harry Frazee.
The 1918 Red Sox had outstanding pitching led by Carl Mays, who went 21-13 (including victories in both games of an August 30 doubleheader against the visiting Athletics). Sad Sam Jones had the best winning percentage on the team, going 16-5 with a 2.25 ERA, while Ruth finished 13-7 with a 2.22 ERA.
The Red Sox went on to defeat the National League Champion Chicago Cubs in a World Series marred by disputes over gate receipts and the threat of a player strike. Boston prevailed in six games to claim their fourth championship of the decade but the achievement was met with tempered fan enthusiasm. Compounding these issues was the fact that, for the second series in a row, Boston's players were penalized because some participated in post-World Series play.
At the end of the calendar year, owners of every team rushed to renew contracts with their players. The war had ended on November 11, 1918, but the players had been released from their contracts when the season ended early. As it happens, the situation was resolved without any major problems.
The 1918 regular season was forced to end early because of World War I and the "Work or Fight" order, so the 1918 World Series between the Red Sox and Cubs commenced on September 5, 1918. The first three games were played in Chicago and Babe Ruth shut out the Cubs 1-0 in Game One. The Cubs took Game Two but Carl Mays pitched the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory in Game Three, giving the Red Sox a 2-1 series lead as they returned home to Fenway Park.
A possible strike concerning the allocation of gate receipts jeopardized Game Four but the disagreement was resolved and the teams took the field. Once they did, Babe Ruth built off his Game One momentum and held the Cubs without a run through seven innings. With his performance Ruth ran his streak of consecutive scoreless World Series innings to 29 ?, a record that lasted until Whitey Ford surpassed it in 1961. Though Chicago scored twice off Ruth in the top of the eighth inning, the Red Sox came back with the go-ahead and eventual game-winning run in the bottom half of the frame, and Boston held one to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
The Cubs won Game Five at Fenway Park but the Red Sox rode a strong starting pitching performance by Mays to a championship-clinching, 2-1 victory in Game Six. With many fans still upset about the dispute before Game Four, the crowd for the finale at Fenway Park was a mere 15,238.
Chicago's pitching in the series could hardly have been better, as their staff earned run average was a miniscule 1.04 (Boston's was 1.70). The Red Sox scoring nine runs the entire series but those tallies were enough to seal Boston's fifth World Series Championship in 15 years, and their third in the first seven years of Fenway Park's history.
In May 1918, as the First World War was nearing its conclusion, the European theatre of conflict still brought news of massive casualty numbers and widespread destruction. Amidst this sorrow, Fenway Park held a memorial mass in tribute to fallen members of the United States Army and Navy on May 26, 1918. Led by Archbishop of Boston Cardinal O'Connell, the mass drew more than 30,000 attendees, including several prominent politicians and businessmen who paid their respects to the fallen soldiers and sailors. On a less somber note, high school football returned to Fenway Park in November and December of 1918, after the Red Sox had won the World Series in September.

*Started in the 1910s, a late May memorial service coinciding with the Memorial Day weekend was often held at Fenway Park through the mid-20th Century.
Over 30,000 attended a solemn war memorial mass at Fenway Park on May 26, 1918. Scores of Bostonians, including large delegations from local businesses such as Jordan Marsh, Filenes, R.H. White, Lee Higginson Company, Heitzer-Cabot Company and American Express, marched to the park with "the vigor and spirit of soldiers," according to one eyewitness.
The head of the Boston Archdiocese, Cardinal William O'Connell presided over the mass, which was also attended by Governor Samuel McCall, Mayor Andrew James Peters, and many other politicians and public officials.
A large group of recently-drafted men joined with Coast Guard sailors, radio and aviation cadets, and parish society members as the crowd sang "Keep The Home Fires Burning," "Onward Christian Soldiers," and "Over There."

About Us
The vision, history and beliefs of Loxafamosity Ministries.
Page Summary:
Abort73 exists under the banner of Loxafamosity Ministries, and is our response to God's call to establish justice, expose evil, minister to the needy and helpless, and extend love to every human person.
Abort73.com is part of Loxafamosity Ministries, Inc. (LMI), a non-profit 501(c)3 Christian education corporation. Abort73.com is an online resource designed to creatively and comprehensively educate people about the injustice of abortion, and provide them with simple tools to help pass that education along to others.
Motivated by our Christian calling to establish justice, to expose evil injustices, to minister to the needy and helpless, and to extend love to every human person, Abort73.com aims to expose the practice of abortion as an injustice of historic proportions. We believe the best way to do so is to persistently, creatively, and comprehensively educate individuals (esp. students) with the massive body of evidence that stands against it. We strategically target a young audience (e.g., high school and college students) and are taking full advantage of the technology available to educate as many people as possible (i.e., the internet). We think it is good and necessary to use both secular and theological arguments to make our case against the practice of abortion. Since abortion claims the lives of thousands of the helpless unborn everyday and millions every year, we cannot do nothing.
Before giving a list of propositional statements about our religious beliefs, we would first make the following qualifications: (1) human language helps us to distinguish our finite realities, whereas the truly infinite God is beyond our linguistic grasping, (2) any "statement of faith" is the product of finite and sinfully flawed individuals grasping at the Infinite and is therefore prone toward imperfection, and (3) the Biblical writers were not overtly concerned that believers give mental assent to a list of abstract propositions but were more concerned that believers live faithfully (which, of course, included a belief in certain facts). That said, here is our attempt to articulate our beliefs in propositional form:
- We believe all Scripture is inspired by God. The Bible tells the story of God's plan of salvation from creation to new creation; it is authoritative and sufficient for all matters of faith and practice and is able to make a person wise unto salvation and equip for good works.
- We believe one God created the world, a God who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness and faithfulness, who keeps promises, forgives sin and punishes the guilty. He may be known personally and reveals himself in Scripture as a Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe God created the world as "very good," making humans his image-bearers (the Imago Dei) and rulers over creation. However, through willful disobedience at "the Fall," humankind brought upon itself (and the world) God's curse, the consequences of universal sin and death, leaving humanity (and the entire creation) in need of salvation, healing, and renewal.
- We believe Jesus is God's unique and royal son, the image of the invisible God, the world's true Lord and Messiah, fully human and fully Divine. He was sent from the Father, in fulfillment of OT covenant promises and prophecies, to accomplish salvation for humanity and all creation by inaugurating God's kingdom and new creation through his exemplary and sinless life, his sacrificial and substitutionary death on the cross for sin, his resurrection from the dead, his ascension to the right hand of God, and the giving of the Spirit. He will fully and finally consummate salvation upon his imminent return.
- We believe personal salvation, divinely speaking, involves God's powerful and merciful rescue from slavery to sin, union with Christ in his death and resurrection, transformation to new life, and inclusion among God's people, the church. Humanly speaking, salvation comes when a person hears the gospel of Jesus, repents of sin, and believes in and follows Jesus as Lord and Savior. Every believer is called and expected to live out his/her salvation through increasing obedience (i.e., getting baptized, routinely taking the Lord's supper, growing in Christlikeness, participating in the life of the local church, and evangelizing).
- We believe the church is the present anticipation of God's salvation, kingdom, and new creation. The church is the bride and body of Christ, God's family and renewed humanity, his sin-forgiven, redeemed, reborn, Spirit-led, and justified people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, called to be a "light to the world" and sign of God's love and healing of creation.
- We believe that the calling of the church has inescapable social implications. The announcement of the gospel of Jesus, that God has dealt with all of humanity's sin on the cross, implies a denouncement of every form of evil, injustice, and oppression. Included in such things are destructive violence, political corruption, abortion on demand, sex slavery, drug traffic, environmental abuse, economic exploitation, etc. Also, the commands to establish justice and "love your neighbor," as modeled by Jesus and rooted in the Imago Dei, involves an active caring for the marginalized, needy, and helpless. Included among these are the poor, the sick, the handicapped, widows, orphans, abortion-vulnerable children, etc. Both through evangelism and social action, the church should work to combat injustice and seek to bring signs of healing and hope to the world. Since human beings are made in the image of God, every person, regardless of race, religion, color, sex, or age, has value and should be respected and served, not exploited.
On Jan 1, 2000, Loxafamosity began as a website attempting to communicate a biblical worldview across a variety of issues. In June 2004, it became Loxafamosity Ministries, Inc. (LMI), receiving 501c3 status. The founder and director of the organization, Michael Spielman, having done pro-life work for a number of years with the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), saw a need to more efficiently use the internet as a means of educating students about the injustice of abortion. If widespread change were going to happen in this country (and the world), it was imperative to reach and teach young people in new and creative ways. With the formal incorporation of Loxafamosity Ministries, a vehicle was in place to embark on a new project - Abort73.com.
Abort73.com officially launched in 2005. Today the website reaches thousands of unique visitors each day, and Abort73's presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Flickr and Twitter reaches countless more. For a fuller explanation of Abort73's marketing and outreach strategy, visit "Education Before Legislation" and "Marketing Past the Stereotypes."

Broncos Ronnie Hillman wins AFC offensive player of week honors
When Ronnie Hillman raced around the right end in the fourth quarter last Sunday, it became notable for several reasons. It secured the Broncos fifth straight AFC West title, the conference's top playoff seed and individual recognition.
Hillman won AFC offensive player of the week honors after rushing for a season-high 117 yards on 15 carries and a 23-yard touchdown.
"It was just a call that I just so happened to hit, and it was a perfect call for what they were doing. They shifted the line to the left and we ran right, and we scored," Hillman said. "It felt good to know that we went up, now we had to rely on the defense and they did their thing obviously like they do week in and week out, and we came up with the win."
Hillman emerged in training camp as a force then took over the starting job following injuries to C.J. Anderson. The pair has spent the second half of the season platooning. Hillman leads the Broncos with 863 yards rushing on seven touchdowns, followed by Anderson's 720 and five scores. Read more…

The two-storey building of KTA Kunststofftechnologie Aurich in the East Friesian town of Aurich in the German state of Lower Saxony employs 1,200 workers in a three-shift system.
According to the plant's managing director, Jost Backhaus, it is the world's first rotor blade plant with continuous flow production. "Labour costs are high in Germany and KTA blade production will reduce cycle time to only seven-to-eight days, compared to about ten days for comparable blade manufacturing with a 'traditional' manufacturing process," says Backhaus. "At the moment we produce four-to-five blade sets a week, but we will boost this to seven-to-eight sets once all process steps have been optimised to the full later this year."
Mobile platforms
Integral to the concept are the in-house developed mobile production platforms that in seven predetermined process steps of ten hours each transport two matching blade halves in parallel over a 500-metre rail system.
Smaller composite components such as the shear-web internal reinforcements are pre-manufactured at the upper level, covering a central section of the plant floor area. These assemblies are then picked up by a portal crane, moved into position above a predetermined mould and lowered for final integration. The flow production concept incorporates a "RoundTrack" closed circuit for the mobile moulds, enabling their precise positioning without posing a barrier for forklift trucks and an easy return to the line beginning.
Following a blade's individual upper and lower shell epoxy resin vacuum-infusion and curing process completion, the halves are merged. For the finishing stages, different vehicles with a longitude-axis rotation system enable easy access to a blade's full surface for cleaning, grinding and inspection.
"Our current level of production automation is already high and includes, besides different kind of conveyor vehicles such as an automated cutting unit for glass-fibre, a glueing robot for the main moulds and a robotised blade painting portal," says Backhaus. "At KTA we had to optimise and master a completely new blade manufacturing process, and this learning curve is now about 60% completed. The introduction this summer of a surface grinding robot and a glass-fibre sheet cutting and precision mould placement robot is planned, but each additional process automation step must be implemented carefully for minimising risks of production flow disruption."
The E-101 blade has a "traditional" airfoil design, and in late March the switch to a redesigned and easier-to-manufacture second-generation E-101 blade had almost been completed. Main visible differences include a modified inner blade section with another spoiler segmentation design, and an improved mechanical spoiler attachment method. Blade mass was also reduced. A new E-101 E2 for IEC class IA strong wind sites, with a primary focus at export markets, will become commercially available in early 2016.
For the 3.0MW IEC class IIA E-115 Enercon developed new-generation slender (load-reducing) segmented rotor blades incorporating a factory-assembled integrated spoiler. Compared with the wider and partly site-assembled spoiler of E-101 blades, the E-115's blades have a "flattened" spoiler shape that extends further towards the blade foot creating an increasingly common 'flat-back' airfoil.
E-115 blades comprise a glass fibre inner section of about 12 metres and a 44-metre outer section (glass fibre reinforced composite). The sections are joined by an ingenious patented multiple-bolt method.
The overall solution is aimed at easier transport logistics especially at space constrained inland and/or forested sites.
An inner segment manufacturing novelty is the machine wrapping of pre-soaked fibreglass fabric around a cylindrical core that in ready form constitutes the load-bearing structure. In a second step the aerodynamic trailing edge, a pre-manufactured "add-on" with Enercon's integrated flat-back spoiler, is bonded with this "blank" creating the final airfoil structure and shape.
Automated wrapping offers time saving and cost benefits, high and uniform manufacturing quality and improved working ergonomics. The outer segment is built of traditional half shells with state-of-the-art vacuum-infusion technology, and can be flexibly produced at various blade production sites.
"The wrapping production method has a lot of potential for extending these inner segments of more than 20 metres in length, allowing us to utilise and adapt this new method to meet all our future blade demands," says Backhaus.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 2, 2013) – ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Richard Sander announced Tuesday that former University of Tennessee head football coach Phillip Fulmer will be joining the Buccaneer program to facilitate planning and help launch the institution's new gridiron team.
Sander said Fulmer's official title will be special assistant to the athletic director for football. He will be helping the Bucs restore a program that had an 80-year history before being disbanded following the 2003 season.
"When you have a chance to use the knowledge and skill of a Hall of Fame coach who has won a national championship and is revered as one of the truly great coaches in college football, you have to jump on that opportunity," Sander said during a press conference inside the D.P. Culp Center. "Phil Fulmer will make a huge contribution to the success of ETSU football."
Fulmer, who led the Tennessee Volunteers to a national championship in 1998, said he was extremely happy to see ETSU returning to the football field and he's pleased to do his part.
"It is very exciting to be asked to work with Dr. Noland and Dr. Sander to help them any way I can to launch college football again at ETSU," Fulmer said. "I am extremely impressed with Dr. Noland's passion to build upon and enhance the culture of excellence at ETSU. Dr. Noland and Dr. Sander both believe and understand that sports, and in this case football, is important to both the students and the alumni of a university. It can help them enjoy and enhance the college experience, as well as stay connected for years to come."
Fulmer was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December of 2012 following a career that included a national championship, two Southeastern Conference (SEC) titles and seven divisional titles at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
The Winchester native was an offensive guard from 1968-71 at Tennessee, from which he graduated in 1972. After a graduate assistantship at Tennessee, Fulmer coached for five seasons at Wichita State University before returning to his alma mater as an assistant coach. He became head coach of the Volunteers at the end of the 1992 season, when he succeeded Johnny Majors, and continued through 2008, posting a 152-52 record with a 74 percent winning percentage and earning numerous Coach of the Year honors. During his tenure at Tennessee, he coached 18 All-Americans and 92 NFL draft picks, including NFL Most Valuable Player and future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning.
Under Coach Fulmer, the Volunteers won the SEC Championship in 1997 and went on to an undefeated season in 1998, winning a second consecutive SEC Championship and the National Championship in the Fiesta Bowl, which was the very first Bowl Championship Series (BCS) title game.
Currently, Fulmer is a partner with Northshore Management Co., Knoxville, a holding company for investment strategies and private equity companies. He has also worked as a college football studio analyst with CBS Sports.
He and his wife, Vicky Morey Fulmer, have four children – Phillip Jr., Courtney, Brittany and Allison – and four grandchildren.

Flash man: Headcount at my company is UP not DOWN
Also Pure Storage just aren't as good
Nimbus Data CEO Tom Isakovich disagreed with parts of our story about his firm's HALO software upgrade.
"Your article today is factually incorrect," he wrote, before bringing up perceived weaknesses in the flash array from rival Pure Storage. Pure's CEO Scott Dietzen, contacted for comment, naturally took issue with much of that - of which more below.
First of all, Nimbus is not suffering a staff drain, said Isakovich, angered by our mentioning that specific staffers had moved to Pure. He went on:
- Nimbus Data's company headcount has doubled in the last 12 months, not shrunk as you have claimed. [We didn't - we reported on people leaving the firm. We're quite happy to believe that they were swiftly replaced and more personnel hired on top. - Ed]
- Nimbus Data's partner event in London last month had more than 30 enthusiastic partners in attendance, standing-room-only, all which subsequently signed with Nimbus Data as their flash vendor of choice. [We said nothing at all about this.]
- As of today, Nimbus Data has a team of six in the UK alone, a doubling of the organization over just the past 90 days. [Or this.]
- As of today, Nimbus Data has over 40 partners and three distributors in the UK alone, all of which aligned with Nimbus Data in a mere six months [or this].
He added: "Meanwhile your recent article on Pure Storage contains numerous errors, which I encourage you to research and confirm for yourself." He claimed:
- Pure does not support NAS (NFS/CIFS). In fact, search their website for NFS and no entries appear.
- Pure does not support replication. Again refer to their website.
- Pure has absolutely no way to scale-out the controllers.
- Pure can barely even scale capacity (just 11 TB to be precise – two 5.5 TB shelves). Again, see their website.
- Pure has a single-point-of-failure: the Infiniband card that links both controllers; just one card, with active components.
Pure Storage CEO Scott Dietzen took issue with this list and responded, saying:
Rather than rebut each individual product-related comment, I will say that the reason you won't find mention of NAS on our website is because that's not a segment of the market we've elected to pursue at this time.
We are currently focused on the block storage opportunity, and are confident we have the most compelling all-flash offering in this space. As far as our scalability goes, we are currently shipping well larger systems than 11TB to customers around the world, systems that accommodate 100-plus TB of user data. So that comment is incorrect, as is the last comment about a single point of failure due to the Infiniband card.
In general, Dietzen said:
"We can say we're thrilled to have attracted the world class team that we have, and thrilled that our business is growing so explosively."
Dietzen offers this advice to customers thinking about all-flash storage:
"No doubt the marketing noise within all-flash storage will continue to increase in the months and years ahead. Given this froth, customers and partners should do their own hands on due diligence before they buy. We launched our "Love Your Storage" money-back guarantee to encourage precisely this sort of scrutiny of our flash array product, and we invite head-to-head comparisons with the alternative choices." ®

I love this photo. I have a flock of turkeys near my house and was hoping to get a photo to post for Thanksgiving. Wouldn't you know they wouldn't cooperate. Not a turkey in sight! I suppose that's wise on their part. Maybe they're smarter than we think...ReplyDelete

'Tis the season for giving, sure, but this is still a bit extreme. The makers of the obscene (and funny) card game Cards Against Humanity have recently shared the financial results of their pay-what-you-want holiday expansion.
They sold $295,828,90 worth of expansions, and after shipping and manufacturing expenses, were sitting on $70,066.27 in profit. They could have spent that money on so many things, but instead, they donated the entire amount to the Wikimedia Foundation, who make Wikipedia. A classy show from the makers of a deliberately unclassy game.
In classic Cards Against Humanity stye, the makers were sure to share a list of the things they opted not to buy, from an insane amount of live crickets to enough condoms for everyone in El Paso:
Good show, guys.

Tour of Chile – Part 1
Although it is considered New World, Chile has been growing wine since the 16th century, when the Spanish conquistadors brought vitis vinifera vines with them during their colonization of the region. About the mid-18th century, several French grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenère were also introduced to the region.
Chile's five viticultural regions occupy an 800 mile stretch, in a country 2,700 miles long and 109 miles wide. The most common red grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenère – a grape originally from the Medoc region, but which has all but disappeared from Bordeaux since the phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th Century.
During the early 1980s, Chilean wineries modernized their production, bringing in stainless steel tanks for fermentation and oak barrels for aging. These were fast times, and the number of wineries grew from 12 in 1995 to over 70 in 2005. The increase in production was matched with wine exports as well, with Chile becoming the fifth largest exporter of wines, and the ninth largest producer in the world.
We had always wanted to visit Chile, and explore the culture and wines of the region. Well, the time had finally come, and Jay was off to the Southern Hemisphere. Jay spent three days traveling the valleys and wine regions that make up this fascinating country. We've separated the interviews into three parts, and thrown in a "bonus reel" for good measure – four shows altogether.
Join us for Part 1, as we talk with representatives from Viña Koyle, Miguel Torres, Viña San Pedro, and Viña Maquis. There might be more to Chile than we think!

The Texas State Board of Education is reviewing its high school science curriculum standards this year. The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)are the embodiment of those standards. These standards are important because they have a profound influence on how science is taught in Texas, including impacting textbook content. Because many other states adopt Texas standards and textbooks, TEKS can have a big impact across the country for a number of years. The stakes are high. Fortunately, there are a number of ways that concerned citizens can participate in the review process.
A draft of the TEKS was released on September 22nd and I have reviewed the Biology TEKS. Although I'm not a biologist, I certainly am familiar with how the creationist culture warriors might try to sabotage the standard. While all science TEKS have the suspect phrase, "Science may not answer all questions," the standard looks pretty good with respect to evolution. There is no taint of the old "strengths and weaknesses" wording that they had slipped in in the past, opening the door for casting doubt on evolution and thus leaving the door ajar for "intelligent Design" pseudoscience that is just religion in a lab coat.
Unfortunately, the SBOE has been stacked with creationist members with a not-so-hidden agenda of sabotaging the teaching of evolution. More recently, the SBOE has appointed a creationist-friendly review committee to review the science TEKS. It's not clear what mischief will come of these developments, but many science advocates are concerned and watching.
A number of groups have gotten involved by drafting reports, crating petitions, and marshaling concerned citizens. The National Center for Science Education is monitoring these culture war skirmishes from across the nation. The 21st Century Science Coalition is a group of scientists who have weighed in with a petition to the SBOE. The Texas Citizens for Science have monitored the board, specifically the political firing of Science Director Chris Comer. The Texas Freedom Network has done a great job of monitoring the SBOE and organizing citizen actions in response.
Concerned individuals can get involved in a number of ways. If you're interested in monitoring the situation, signing a petition, or testifying in front of the SBOE on November 19th, TFN can help you. Consider doing all three. These things are serious grassroots activism for the cause of science education. Testifying may sound like a lot of work, but it's a great experience that will allow you to express your perspective as a taxpayer and as a Texan. Usually testimonies are just a few minutes—just long enough to make a point or two. You'll be doing it along side other concerned activists who will be there with you making a difference.
It is also possible to review the TEKS standards online and submit comments directly to the board. This is another great way to participate. To do this, go to the Science TEKS page and read the relevant portion of the "High School science" TEKS. You will then get the "High School Courses" form and fill in your comments. There are multiple ways of submitting the form. You will submit one form for each science course TEKS you would like to respond to. If you do this, please remember to follow the instructions and make your comments relate to specific sections of the TEKS. Be assertive, but polite.
The ACA would like to encourage all people interested in the quality of science education to participate in this important process for the betterment of our country and our futures or consider donating to these groups that are making a difference.

Seeing the movements of a healthy hand mirroring one's own movements plays a welcome trick on the brains of arthritis sufferers, a new study shows: It reduces the perception of pain. The observation, reported this week at the Society for Neuroscience's annual conference, could offer a safe, inexpensive means of dampening chronic pain by enlisting the brain's power of suggestion.
The small arthritis study, which tested just eight subjects, comes from the lab of UC San Diego neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran -- who first used mirror-based trickery to treat phantom-limb pain in patients who have had an amputation. In those studies, pain perceived to come from an absent limb resolved when subjects saw what appeared to be their own missing limb moving smoothly and performing tasks without pain.
In the study presented by UCSD neuroscientist Laura Case this week in Washington, eight subjects suffering from severe osteo- or rheumatoid arthritis sat in front of a mirrored box and extended one of their hands. A researcher extended his hand over the subject's hand and asked the subject to move her hand slowly. The researcher, meanwhile, mimicked the subject's hand movement.
The subject, seeing only the researcher's hand in the mirror, saw a young, healthy hand performing movements fluidly and without pain or difficulty. And when asked about their hands' level of pain after the exercise, subjects rated their pain, on average, 1.5 points lower, on a scale of 1 to 10, than it had been at the outset. Some had a 3-point reduction in pain, said Case.
And there was more than one way to trick the brain's perception of pain, the researchers found. They also saw subjects rate their pain as lower when they held objects in their hands that appeared smaller and lighter than they actually were.
Case said it's not clear what trickery, exactly, made subjects feel less pain; it may have been the sight of "their" hand (actually, the researcher's) as a young, healthy hand with no arthritic deformities that made them feel better. It might have the appearance of the effortless movement that suggested a lack of pain. Then again, it may have been the exercise, which usually loosen's pain's grip, said Case.
Case and her colleagues are currently testing the mirror-based treatment on a larger population of patients with arthritic and other chronic pain. With roughly 50 million Americans suffering the pain and stiffness of arthritis, therapy that enlists the brain's willingness to see and feel a sick body as healthy -- even if it is an illusion -- could be an important treatment. Unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which come with a long list of short- and long-term risks, mirror therapy is non-invasive, safe and relatively cheap. All it takes is a mirror, a healthy body stand-in and a brain.

I put myself in a good situation on the clay this weekend. There is a short article about us.

Replies to This Discussion
stay focus on the race and not the Finish BRO
The race has been good. We have won our last 6 matches. Oh, I forgot to mention, it is on clay! so the venue's have been pretty amazing...
6 match win streak, if we lost any of them we would have been out. And we beat a finalist from last year, it was a great tournament!
Good work man!
Did you do any damage in the leagues this year?
we lost in the city finals. i had a choice between old lady vs hot young girl that chokes badly. I chose the old lady and lost.
Mixed is fun What level was that?
I am sorry you didn't make it out of local league. My men's 5.0 team didn't make it out of local's too this yr (we played sections / districts last two years) But the team Rio Del Oro was in my local and they won nationals
The website is updated. They are roasting a pig, have a keg, a USTA chair, sponsors to hand out prize money and most importantly, ball girls! I am pretty stoked.
Yesterday was a big match... We were scared favorites. Today we are fearless underdogs!
Ball girls more important than the roasted pig? C'mon now. Put up a vid of the final. I enjoyed the ones last year alot!
Well, you weren't kidding. lol And you were mentioning the ball girls... :)

Preparing Collections on the S Drive for Online Delivery and Storage
- 1 Things to do before beginning an upload
Things to do before beginning an upload
The collection number u0003_0000001 will be used as an example.
Check Subfolders of Collection Level Folder
The Collection Level folder contains subfolders and their content must adhere to certain specifications prior to the collection being considered ready to "ship" for online access and long term storage.
- This folder must exist.
- Must contain:
- u0003_0000001.xml
- Make sure to refer to the Collection_Information page regarding acceptable data values.
- u0003_0000001.log.txt
- Include a text version of the log file with every batch; previous versions of the log will be overwritten by the newest version.
- u0003_0000001.xml
- May also contain:
- Thumbs Icon - .png extension.
- OCR list - .ocrList.txt extension.
- Other relevant documents saved as plain .txt (ANSI or UTF-8 without BOM preferred). If possible please incorporate any additional data into the log.txt file. For example, audio collections often have significant item-level notes that we want to retain. These plain text files can be saved with a ".notes.txt" extension - i.e. "u0008_0000001_0000001.notes.txt".
- If multiple Digital Collections spawn from the same Analog Collection, there can be more than one Collection Information XML file as follows:
- u0003_0000001.1.xml
- u0003_0000001.2.xml
- This folder must exist.
- Must contain:
- u0003_0000001.txt
- This is tab-delimited text export of the original spreadsheet. (If this file was exported out of Excel as a tab-delimited txt file, you must open the file with Notepad ++ and do a Search and Replace to remove the quotation marks that have been inserted at each tab.)
- The source .xlsx spreadsheet should be moved to S:\Digital Projects\Administrative\collectionInfo\forMDlib\needsRemediation.
- u0003_0000001.txt
If this is a large or ongoing collection, the tab-delimited text export should contain ONLY the metadata for the items currently being transported to storage. The text file itself should have a period and then a number to indicate which portion, or "batch", of the complete metadata this is. The first tab-delimited export would be named, for example, u0003_0000001.1.txt, and would contain the first 500 entries, for example. The second tab-delimited export, for items 501-1000, would be named u0003_0000001.2.txt, and so forth. Thus, only by collecting all these tab-delimited exports do we have a complete set of descriptive metadata for the collection items. For more on how to parse these "batches" out from the complete set of descriptive metadata, see Parsing Metadata.
- a MODS folder
- This folder will contain all the MODS files created via Archivist Utility (see: Making MODS).
- This folder must exist.
Note: we may break Scans folders into chunks for manageability, for more information click here.
- Must only contain:
- scans (tiffs/wavs) of non-compound objects and compound objects (inside respective subfolders)
All other files types will not be retained. Temporary files and thumbs.db files do not have to be deleted since they will be removed upon transfer to Storage.
- This folder must exist only if transcripts exist.
- Must only contain one or more of the following types of files:
- u0003_0000001_0000001.tif, u0003_0000002_0001.tif, etc. - corresponding to non-compound and compound objects (inside respective subfolders).
- u0003_0000001_0000001.txt, u0003_0000002_0001.txt, etc. - plain .txt files corresponding to non-compound and compound objects (inside respective subfolders).
- u0003_0000001_0000001.ocr.txt, u0003_0000002_0001.ocr.txt, etc. - plain .txt files of OCRed tiffs corresponding to non-compound and compound objects (inside respective subfolders).
If cleaned up .txt files exist, remove the corresponding .ocr.txt file.
Perform Quality Control Tasks
see Quality_Control
Note: quality control tasks will already have been performed by scanning technicians beforehand, but it's a good idea to run the QC scripts again. This takes very little time.
Spot check all .xml, .txt, and .xlsx files
- Check all such files for proper filenames and extensions.
- Open all such files and look for anomalies and inconsistencies, misspellings, and missing data, etc.
- Examples:
- make sure fields such as Funder(s), Funding Information, Repository Collection, Digital Collection, Digital Publisher, etc. are filled out.
- Examples:
The required fields should have a green header cell in the descriptive metadata to aid in verifying the presence of required content.
- ideally, no additional fields such as "Notes" are in the Metadata file. "Notes" as such should be deleted or moved to the appropriate row in the log.txt file.
- make sure the Format column in the Metadata file has not been altered to the Time format as it sometimes is:
If a tab delimited metadata file is opened via Excel (especially by right clicking the file and choosing to open in Excel), the format column if like: 3 p., 4 p., etc. Will get interpreted as 3:00 PM, 4:00 PM, etc. If then resaved as .txt, times will have been saved instead of page #s. The way around this is to have Excel open first, choose Open. open your text file and while you are being interrogated by Excel about how to import, set the Format column as "Text".
Obviously, if errors are found *after* text exports and MODS files are made, then the Excel file needs to be corrected and the text and MODS files remade.
Check all Folder names
- Make sure folders are named correctly and that there are no superfluous word concatenations to object level folders, etc.
Match Data across documents and folders
This table attempts to show how data in one of our documents/folders should match with data in another document/folder.
Corresponding data must properly match/equate prior to marking "Scans" folders as "Store".
|Admin XML
|Archivist Queue (\"Selection.xlsx\")
|Finding Aid
|Scans folder
|Collection Number
|[first 14 characters of Filename]
|Collection Number
|Container Number
|physical location
|Manuscript_Number [Is this true?]
|Manuscript Number; Physical Location
|primary analog format
|Genre [since there can be multiple genres in the metadata, this will correspond, in average, to the TrackingFileNames Primary Analog Format]
|source collection
|Repository Collection
|Name of Analog Collection
|Abstract; or Scope and Contents [limited to digitized portion]
|Digital Collection
|Project Name
|Type(s) [since there can be multiple Types in the Metadata, this will correspond, in average, to the Admin XML Type_of_Content]
|Link to finding aid
|Total Scans (Scans + Transcript Scans)
|[use PERL script or folder search to retrieve number of Total Scans (tifs or wavs)]
|[count total objects in Metadata sheet]
|Total Objects
|[use PERL script or folder search to retrieve number of objects (singletons + compound object subfolders)]
From a digital preservation/delivery perspective, it's not as important to match information to the Archivist Queue spreadsheet, though it would be ideal if possible. Also, it isn't always feasible to match the number of actual scans vs. what is notated in the TrackingFiles, although that is also ideal.
Moving the Files to the Server
The folder should now be prepared to run scripts and place the files on the storage server.

One of the greatest thing about attending a trade show is that seeing so many product introductions all in one place at one time really brings into focus the trends that are taking place in the industry at that moment. Here's a look at some of the top 2017 Creativation trends for scrapbooking.
[Disclaimer: Some links below are advertiser links or affiliate links that pay this site a commission at no cost to the reader when a purchase is made after a click.]
Puffy Stickers
Perhaps this is part of the growing trend of 1980's nostalgia, but whatever the reason, puffy stickers were making their presence felt as a trend on the Creativation show floor. American Crafts used this sticker style across several of their brands, including Maggie Holmes, Crate Paper and Pink Paislee. But it was also seen in the Jillibean Soup and Echo Park booths, among others.
Below: Maggie Holmes "Chasing Dreams" Puffy Stickers
Stamp Presses
Since the introduction of the MISTI created what is arguably an entirely new tool category for the industry, other companies have rushed to introduce their own versions of a stamp press. We R Memory Keepers released theirs last year, and at Creativation, Hampton Art and Tonic Studio (under its Tim Holtz signature line) added their versions to the mix. This trend is definitely being fed by the increasing interest in stamping in the papercrafts market, especially layered stamping. The growing DIY party market (with the mass production of items like invitations and table decorations) is also a factor in their popularity.
Below: Hampton Art Stamp Perfect stamp press
Geo Shapes
These geometric shapes that appear to be faceted or geodesic started appearing a lot in stamps and dies last year, and the trend continued at the Creativation show with products like this die from Spellbinders' collection by designer Lene Lok. This trend is one of those "universal" style trends that can be adapted for any season or theme, so its life isn't artificially limited by changing seasons (like the flamingoes below).
Below: Spellbinders Lene Lok collection.
Planner Madness
Trend doesn't cover the level that planners have reached in the papercrafts industry. They are rapidly reaching full-on market domination, Creativation brought an avalanche of products for planners. Companies that had previously experimented with the market dived head long in and companies that had yet to enter the market dipped their toes in. Ranger, which markets itself mostly as a mixed media company, added a planner to its Dylusions line by Dyan Reavely. The trend's influence is visible even in lines not being explicitly sold as "planner" products, as "planner friendly" products like small stickers and washi tape are being seen more in papercrafts lines.
Below: Dylusions by Dyan Reavely Creative Dyary.
Flocks of Flamingoes
We started to see the flamingoes pop up in last summer's beach and tropical themed lines, but this summer scrapbooking is being invaded by entire flocks of flamingoes. There's stamps, dies, patterned papers, stickers – almost anything you can imagine has a flamingo on it! Echo Park, Crate Paper, and Spellbinders are just a handful of the industry names that are going to the (pink) birds for 2017.
Below: Lawn Fawn "Baby Flamingo" clear stamps
They're not just for for internet hipsters anymore – emojis are cool for everyone. And with emojis making their way into the home decor and fashion markets, it was only a matter of time before we started seeing them in the crafts market. They've popped up in a few places in the past, but at Creativation they were much more noticeable. DCWV was prominently displaying a set of icons for its new letterboard, and Simple Stories introduced an entire emoji-inspired collection called "Emoji Love".
Below: Simple Stories "Emoji Love" clear stickers
We usually see patriotic lines released late spring for the Memorial Day and July 4th holidays. But this year they reflect a new trend showing itself in home decor and fashion: Americana/Farmhouse. While Americana is red, white and blue like its patriotic themed counterparts, there are some key differences. Patriotic themed design is centered around red and white stripes and white stars on a navy background. But in Americana theme, the designs include those elements along with things like flowers, cows (or buffalos), bandana print, and other so-called "country" graphics.
Below: Pink Paislee "Sweet Freedom"
Everything Old is New Again
Trends in the crafts industry tend to be cyclical, both in the sense of what craft is popular at a given time, and also in style trends. We're seeing a real avalanche of trends and products this year that harken back to the industry's early days. Hand lettering, foam stamps, rub-ons, cute animal characters, and the dominance of pens were among just a few of of the things on the Creativation show floor making me wonder if I'd time traveled to the early days of the 21st century again.
Below: Tim Holtz idea-ology Tag Press
Foam Stamps
One of the "old is new" products currently growing in market presence are foam stamps. Back in the early days of the scrapbooking boom, foam stamps were one of the commonly available supplies to scrapbookers since the stamps were already on the market for use in painting and home decor. Making Memories in its hey day of being a trendsetter even made some specifically for the scrapbooking market, including popular alphabets. They were loved for their affordability, but fell in popularity when the market began to be infatuated with affordable clear stamps.
With the rise of mixed media and increasing use of paint in papercrafting, foam stamps – designed for use with paints – have been creeping back into the market again. Prima launched some a few years ago. Last year, mixed media artist Julie Fei-Fan Balzer launched a line of foam stamps with Canadian company Art Foamies, and Heidi Swapp launched foam stamps in her line as well. Creativation saw more releases, including from Tim Holtz's idea-ology line.
Below: Tim Holtz idea-ology Cling Foam Stamps
Hand Drawn Lettering
Another blast from the past that is rapidly gaining in popularity is the art of hand drawn lettering. This look was so popular in the early days of the industry that its popularity gave us the designer who is one of the biggest names in today's industry, Becky Higgins. Partially driven today by the popularity of Bible journaling, this resurgent trend is spawning books, pens, stencils and even stamps to fake the look of hand done art.
Below: Tammy Tutterow collection by Spellbinders
Letter Boards
Retro looks and signage have been very popular lately, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before the letter board came back. These old style boards that could have letters or words anchored in their crevices were popular before that age of computer signage. Now they are back courtesy of craft industry brands like Heidi Swapp and DCWV.
.Below: Heidi Swapp Letterboard
It's not uncommon to see a sprinkling of butterflies this time of year, but this year we are seeing hordes of colorful ones. Butterflies are being used in overall designs on patterned paper from One Canoe Two and Maggie Holmes, along with on many embellishments. This versatile trend covers themes from spring to little girl to nature.
Below: One Canoe Two "Hazelwood – Flock" patterned paper.
Mixed Media
The past few years have seen the scrapbooking industry dominated by a trend toward "mixed media". In case there was any question about whether mixed media was still going strong, two of the three new signature lines introduced by American Crafts at Creativation were mixed media lines: Jane Davenport and Vicki Boutin. Other companies such as Prima and Faber-Castell continued to expand their mixed media offerings, proving that they are still all in on this craft concept that combines various areas of the industry.
Below: Jane Davenport collection by American Crafts
Bible Journaling
It's hard to believe that the launch of Bella Blvd's "Illustrated Faith" brand with Shanna Noel was barely less than two years ago. Since then, Bible journaling has become a true force in the papercrafting industry, influencing the launch of mixed media products, stencils, stamp lines, and even a trend toward hand drawn lettering.
