A release download page is the page that links the project's content to the mirrored artifact download. This document aims to describe the various options available to projects for download pages together with policy and best practices. (Background about the policy is in a separate document.) Release managers are the target audience.
Help to finish this document by contributing documentation patches ! If the information you seek isn't in this document, then please submit a patch once the infrastructure folks have answered your question.
Only release artifacts that have been approved by the relevant PMC may be linked from the download page.
Do not link to dist.apache.org
The download page must include a link to the source distribution. It may include links to binary distributions.
Links to the mirrored distribution artifacts must not reference the main Apache web site. They should use the standard mechanisms to distribute the load between the mirrors. See below for details.
All links to checksums, detached signatures and public keys must reference the main Apache web site and should use https:// (SSL). For example: https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/KEYS
Old releases should be archived and may be linked from the download page.
All official pre-releases (e.g. milestones, alphas, betas) must removed in a timely fashion once the final or GA version has been released.
Your Apache Download Page...
...must have at least one link to the current release. This link must use the "closer" utility. For example: https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/PROJECT/VERSION/SOURCE-RELEASE
...must have a link to the checksum and hash for the current release. These links must use direct links to the Apache distribution server. For example: https://www.apache.org/dist/PROJECT/VERSION/HASH-OR-CHECKSUM
...must have a link to the keys file for your project. This link must use direct links to the Apache distribution server. For example: https://www.apache.org/dist/PROJECT/KEYS
...should have instructions on how to verify downloads. For this you can include a link to the Apache documentation on verification: http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html
...must not include a link to the top level "closer" utility (e.g. http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/PROJECT) as the KEYS, sigs and hashes are missing, as are any verification instructions.
Balancing the downloads between mirrors requires the use of a script. A standard mechanism has been created that allows scripts to be easily created which will not only comply with mirroring distribution policy but also take advantage of more advanced features such as intelligent selection of a preferred mirror. This mechanism is described below.
There are two basic options available:
The generic download script is quick to setup but is linked from (rather than integrated with) the project documentation.
A project specific script which is integrated with a page created in the normal way for the project and which uses the project's standard document look and feel. This option takes more time to setup.
The starting point for a generic script is a download page. This is just a page in the standard documentation which describes the releases. To use the generic script, this page needs to be altered so that the actual download links to the generic script in the appropriate fashion.
The generic script is called
closer.cgi. The relative path of the
distribution (from the distribution root to the artifact) needs to be
passed in as a parameter. So (for example) if the artifact is
foo-5.5.1.zip and is located in
bar/foo relative to
/www/www.apache.org/dist then
will display the mirrored distribution for download.
As an alternative, one can generate a direct download link using the following syntax:
See below for how to generate a customised page of direct links using a mirror.
Note there is some information which every project should include on the download page (e.g. KEYS, sigs, hashes). Please read best practices.
To create a project specific download page, two elements are needed:
a wrapper cgi script (for the standard python mirroring script)
a project page (containing information to be presented to the user together with variables to be replaced by the script)
The script takes the path to the project page as an input and passes this to the standard mirroring script. The standard script then reads the page and uses information about the mirrors to substitute values for the varibles. When linking to the project page (for example, from the rest of the project documentation), it is important that these links are targeted at the script address (and not the page address).
Conventionally, the wrapping script is called
download.cgi. This should
be created in the same directory as the project page. This wrapper script
just needs to set up the correct directory and call the mirroring script.
The following will do:
#!/bin/sh # Wrapper around the standard mirrors.cgi script exec /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi $*
The release download page should be generated in the same way as the rest
of the project documentation. By convention, the name of the output should
Note: the mirroring script guesses the download release page to be
processed by matching file names. There is no requirement to call the
download.cgi and the download release page
download.html but the
name of the script must correspond to the name of the download page. For
release.cgi and
release.html will work but
download.cgi and
release.html will not.
There are a number of elements that a good project download page should contain. The content used to generate that page can be viewed here.
Downloads of artifacts linked to a mirror by an variable url. The correct
mirroring base url will be substituted for the
[preferred] variable. The
rest of the url should be the path to the artifact relative to the base of
the Apache distribution directory.
For example, for artifact
foo-1.0.0.tar.gz contained in
bar/foo should
Links to the checksum and signature for the artifact should be given next to the download link. It is important that users check the sum and verify the signature so these links should be close and clear. Note: these documents must not be mirrored.
For example, for artifact
foo-1.0.0.tar.gz contained in
bar/foo :
zip MD5 PGP
Users should also be given information about the mirrors and the chance to
choose a different mirror (if they prefer). This is a little complex to
describe so here is a typical script:

[if-any logo]
<img align="right" src="[logo]" border="0"
The currently selected mirror is [preferred]. If you
encounter a
problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all
mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the
end of
the mirrors list) that should be available.

<form action="[location]" method="get" id="SelectMirror">
Other mirrors: <select name="Preferred">
[if-any http]
[for http]<option value="[http]">[http]</option>[end]
[if-any ftp] [for ftp]<option value="[ftp]">[ftp]</option>[end] [end] [if-any backup] [for backup]<option value="[backup]">[backup] (backup)</option>[end] [end] </select> <input type="submit" value="Change" /> </form>

You may also consult the complete list of mirrors.
 More advice on creating a good project page is given below
BEFORE the download script has been committed, make it executable.
The CMS will not honor propset changes post-initial-commit, so if you forget
this step please make the needed property changes on both the staging
and production svn trees. See CMS Reference for details.
Of course this caveat only applies to CMS sites; sites that use svnpubsub exclusively
will apply propset changes automatically as soon as they are committed.
For example:
All that remains is to wait for the main website to sync.
% svn propset svn:executable '*' download.cgi
% svn commit
Apache releases are downloaded from mirrors. It is therefore important that users understand that they should always check the hash sums and (if possible) also verify the OpenPGP compatible signature. The content of the release download page plays a critical role in this education process.
Please provide clear and easy links to the KEYS, sums and signatures from the download release page or include the information directly in the page itself. The HTTPD page is a good example.
Include a reminder text with links to more information for users. For example:
Note: when downloading from a mirror please check the md5sum and verify the OpenPGP compatible signature from the main Apache site. Links are provided above (next to the release download link). This KEYS file contains the public keys used for signing release. It is recommended that (when possible) a web of trust is used to confirm the identity of these keys. For more information, please see the Apache Release FAQ.
Users need to understand the origin of the artifacts, signatures and sums downloaded. Check that the stylesheets used do not obscure the linked url. It is best to use a simple, plain style for download links. Note that some of the maven style sheets may obscure some external links in some browsers (in particular MSIE).
Normally you should wait 24 hours after uploading a release to http://www.apache.org/dist/ before announcing it, in order to let mirrors catch up.
If you are unable to wait 24 hours before announcing your release, then you
can pass a date and time to the download script to indicate that only
mirrors that have updated since that time should be selected. This works by
update=YYYYMMDDhhmm to the query string. For example, you can use
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi?update=200407051415 to request only
mirrors that have updated after 2:15pm on July 5, 2004 UTC.
use this option sparingly, since it can result in excessive load on
particular mirrors. It would be appropriate, for example, in an emailed
release announcement for an important security release, but should not
usually be used as a main website link.
Read these instructions thoroughly before configuring your project mirror. See also the excellent mirroring, PGP and MD5 resources by Henk. Review how other ASF projects do their mirrors.
If you need assistance in implementing URL redirection to direct downloaders to the mirrors, or if you need any other help in implementing this policy, please contact the email@example.com mailing list.

The basal body temperature method - a fertility awareness-based method - is a type of natural family planning. Your basal body temperature is your temperature when you're fully at rest. Ovulation may cause a slight increase in basal body temperature.
You'll be most fertile during the two to three days before your temperature rises. By tracking your basal body temperature each day, you may be able to predict when you'll ovulate. In turn, this may help you determine when you're most likely to conceive.
If you're hoping to get pregnant, you can use the basal body temperature method to determine the best days to have sex. Similarly, if you're hoping to avoid pregnancy, you can use the basal body temperature method to help determine which days to avoid unprotected sex. Because the basal body temperature method alone doesn't provide enough warning time to effectively prevent pregnancy, it's generally used in combination with other fertility awareness-based methods if you're hoping to avoid pregnancy.

In Wednesday's debate, Mitt Romney sounded like the reasonable pragmatist that he was when he was Governor of Massachusetts.
He said he supported lots of things that centrist independent voters support.
For example:
- Requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions
- Not cutting taxes on the richest Americans
- Hiring more teachers
These ideas were very appealing to those who have been hoping that Romney is still the man he was when he was running Massachusetts.
Unfortunately, in an effort to appeal to the right-wing Republican base, Romney has spent the last two years telling everyone that he's a very different man than he was when he was running Massachusetts. And he has said many things that contradict what he said on Wednesday.
A mystifying feckless President Obama didn't manage to point this out during the debate, but a new attack ad has jumped on the opportunity (watch below).
Given that a few months ago, Romney was against hiring more teachers, and now he seems to be for hiring more teachers, it seems reasonable to ask the Romney campaign to clarify this. Does Romney want to hire more teachers?

Weg/MTOI will supply 39, 2.3MW turbines manufactured locally and adapted to Brazilian wind and climate conditions.
A total of 90MW of turbines will be supplied by 2016 when the wind project is due to start commercial operations.
The announcement comes as some foreign manufacturers try to increase local content to comply with financing requirements to re-enlist their products in the Finame cheap financing program offered by Brazil's national development bank BNDES.
The de-listing from Finame has opened opportunities for companies like Weg, which were kept on the list.
Weg could not disclose details of the new contract as it is bound by a confidentiality agreement, a company spokesperson told Windpower Monthly.
All the turbines will be manufactured in the company's factory in Jaraguá do Sul, in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. According to the company's statement, the new turbine will have 80% of national content and awaits certification.

During his confirmation hearing on Thursday, Hagel could not explain -- despite repeated attempts -- the administration's policy of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Instead, Hagel first said he supported the president's policy of "containment," i.e. containing Iran after it acquires nuclear weapons. Then, attempting to correct himself, he said the administration "takes no position" on containment. Finally, Senator Levin was forced to explain to Hagel that "we do not favor containment."
ECI's executive director, Noah Pollak, said: "Is it too much to ask that the nominee for Secretary of Defense understands the policy of the Obama administration on the single most important national security challenge facing the United States?"

Vestas came in second place, clocking up 24.2%. Repower came third with 11%, followed by Nordex with 3.7%, e.n.o. with 1.5% and Vensys with 1.1%.
Major companies Siemens and GE don't figure in the 2012 onshore wind installations, being completely subsumed in the 1.7% "other" category.
In future, Siemens will start to build a profile in German wind thanks to upcoming offshore projects using its turbine technology.
In 2011, Enercon had accounted for around 60% of the 2,007MW installed, Vestas taking 21% of the market. These statistics including 200MW of offshore wind.
Repower and Nordex followed with 9.7% and 3.9% respectively in 2011. The Bard group accounted for 2.1% with its offshore installations. Siemens Wind Power and GE Wind were insignificant in the German market in 2011.

Republican Totally Wants In On This Violent Threat Scare Trend (Updated)
As the hysterical rhetoric surrounding health care reform escalates, many lawmakers are reporting receiving violent threats. Like Eric Cantor, Republican Minority Whip, who says someone totally shot his office, with a gun. [Update: Police confirm an attack on Cantor's airspace!]
Cantor is mad that Democrats are scoring political points by being the victims of actual vandalism and receiving violent threats from crazy people riled up by the out-of-line apocalyptic rhetoric of Republicans and their media allies. So he's like, hey people are totally threatening to kill me too, so shut up.
"I've received threats since I assumed elected office, not only because of my position but also because I'm Jewish," Cantor said. "Any suggestion that a leader in this body would incite threats... is akin to saying I would endanger myself, my wife or my children."
Cantor said he has also received threatening e-mails but will not release them lest they spur any further hostility. By contrast, Cantor said he has "deep concerns" that some in the Democratic party — particularly Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee — are "dangerously fanning the flames by suggesting these incidents be used as a political weapon."
Yes. Right. By publicizing the violent hysteria that's been whipped up by cynical manipulators of the forces of popular outrage, Democrats are in fact fanning the flames. Just like that guy with Parkinsons was totally asking for it by having Parkinsons and supporting health care reform in public.
Cantor also claims that a bullet was shot through the window of his Richmond, VA office this week.
Let's just get the obvious arguments out of the way first: liberals are not the ones carrying firearms to angry public demonstrations. In fact, liberals are not attending angry public demonstrations, because right now liberals don't actually have anything to be angry about. Liberals just won! Why the hell would they be angrily threatening anyone?
If someone did shoot Eric Cantor's window in Richmond, Virginia, this week, it is exponentially more likely that it was a Tea Party sympathizer than some Obama-voting NoVa yuppie enraged by Cantor's attempts to obstruct legislation in the House (which he's failed at again and again and again).
An angry, armed liberal would not shoot the House minority whip. They would be more likely to shoot Harry Reid. Or Bart Stupak, who no longer has any friends on any end of the political spectrum. (And honestly—if this theoretical armed and dangerous libtard isn't shooting some turncoat Democrat, he's much more likely to go after a right-wing media figure than some loser GOP congressman.)
It's the pissed-off raging teabaggers who are furious with the Republicans right now, for failing to stop the thing they promised they would stop.
But we are not even going to blame some stupid Teabagger for shooting Eric Cantor's office. Because no one gives a shit about Eric Cantor. No one is shooting him or threatening him. He is just another asshole.
- Bart Stupak released the actual tapes of the insane and violent threats he got from right-wing (pro-life!) nuts.
- Louise Slaughter and Gabrielle Giffords had their offices actually vandalized, for real. (And Slaughter got some crazy voicemail about snipers.)
- James Clyburn got a fax of a noose.
- Some asshole teabagger attempted to post the home address of Rep. Tom Perriello on the internet, so that people could harrass him. But he posted the address of Perriello's brother. And then someone went to Perrillo's brother's house and cut the gas line to his grill.
Why do Democrats keep fanning the flames by telling people about these things?
Sorry Republicans, I know playing the victim is the one thing you guys love doing even more than attacking actual victims of things like hate crimes and economic disadvantages, but no one wants to shoot any of you.

A Richmond Police detective was assigned to the case. A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction, landing on the floor about a foot from the window. The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds. There was no other damage to the room, which is used occasionally for meetings by the congressman.
Yep, just some health care reform-supporting enraged loony lefitst, wandering around Richmond, Virginia, firing guns in the air near buildings where the House Minority Whip has offices.
Update 2: Ok, we can stop referring to this as "Eric Cantor's office."
Eric Cantor's Richmond office is in Glen Allen, north of Richmond. This terrifying gun attack happened at an entirely different building that Cantor's direct-mail firm is located in. So this liberal shooter really did his homework, firing into the air in such a fashion that the bullet would come down and break a window in an office building that isn't actually Eric Cantor's office, but one that he occasionally takes meetings in. A lotta research went into this!
Correction: This does count as Cantor's campaign office. So this liberal terrorist who fired a gun in the air at the precise angle necessary for it to come down and hit Eric Cantor's office window could've probably just googed it and come up with this this address. That's probably what happened.

Travails from Spain
This is part three of Giana Roberge's journal from Spain. To check all of them out go to: www.teamspeedqueen.com under the training journal section.
The real reason why people ride their bikes
I always glamorized traveling to Spain. It was one of those things you talked about with your friends while sipping a venti skim half decaf dry cappuccino at Starbucks. "Oh, I am departing for Spain in a few days, I just don't know what to bring"
Well, right now, traveling to Europe, this part in particular, is more scary than glamorous. There are currently 11 million people protesting in the streets of Madrid, and tension is high. I assume we are isolated here in the mountains high above the ocean in our cyclist's dream retreat, however, you can see the strain of concern on the faces of the staff. I know thier thoughts are not on what athlete need a massage, or whose bike needs to be washed, or what special dinner needs to be prepared, but rather if their loved ones are safe and what the future holds for their children. The election is today, and it is everyone's hope that the tension will subside. Interestingly though, the Europeans here have told me that they are accustomed to the violence. He told me that the Europeans have a "Oklahoma City every few months or so.....It is upsetting but expected."
Enough politics. After a substantial breakfast, including eggs cooked however you would like, crepes, fruit, possibly the best muesli in the world (the Swiss know how to make it like no one else) and of course potatoes, meat and even pasta, everyone disappeared to pull on their kit for the group rides. On their way they visited the lunch bar and made themselves lunch which would go into their bags and then into the follow vehicle for the lunch stop. I make honey and bananas on fresh baked bread! Oh my goodness, it is so good. I try to stay away from all the yummy biscuits offered, but I figure by the end of this 800 kilometer week, I may be reaching for some of the kind covered in chocolate.
Out at the front of the hotel, there is a railing that has five bends in it and encircles the flowering plants in the middle. Beginning at 9 AM bikes are hung on the rails and last minute preparations are made to lunch bags, bottles and clothing. This resort has thought of virtually everything. Out front there are work stands, tools and pumps for anyone to use " doubles of everything. There is lube and cleaning supplies too. Huge vats of sport drink are available for you to fill your bottles, nearly everything has been thought of.
The rides leave at five minute increments and it is up to the athlete to pick which ride they wish to go on. The slower groups are less organized in terms of pace-lines, and go more at a touring pace " enjoying the scenery and stopping to smell the flowers and enjoy the coffee. The medium to faster groups pace-line and definitely ride to train. No stopping to smell anything"
On tap for a partly cloudy Sunday was 118 kilometers, or about 70 miles. After only two days of riding here, one thing I am certain of is that there are no flat rides. You either go up or down, but never flat. This is not nearly as bad as it sounds. It is in fact quite fun. The climbs are all graded, making them manageable because one rarely has to get out of their saddle to get up them. Plus, every Felt rental bike comes equipped with a triple, giving a myriad of gearing choices.
The 38 EuroCycler clients met me and Richard Debrot (owner of the company) outside for a meeting. Our job was to assist them in selecting the "correct" group. This is not an easy job. Many who could average 20 mph at home in WI in June were not going to managing that here in March. We had to help people find the right amount of challenge but where they could still enjoy themselves and come home and want to go out tomorrow.
The mechanics had done a professional job of getting everyone's rental bikes set up. Some people wanted road bikes with flat bars, some wanted mountain bikes with slick tires. I am sure the mechanics were spinning wrenches late, and did not get to bed until well after the disco turned down their lights. I believe they have nearly every one of their 300 rentals out this week, which means a lot of work for the mechanics all week.
I was excited to head out for a ride. After being cooped up yesterday I wanted to check myself and see how I had recovered from Friday's ride. I am just taking it day by day. I told myself that if I started out and was suffering I would just leave the group.
I wanted to ride with four of our customers from the East coast. I have breakfast and dinner with them and they are a lot of fun. They are more triathletes than cyclists, but I won't hold that against them J No, really, they are so excited to be here. I hope they like the group ride" they have done many cycling tours so they have a lot to compare us to " which is good and bad, I guess.
The morning held something else in store for me. The group size for the bunch that would average 10-12 mph was substantially larger than was initially accounted for. I was pulled from the speed group of 18-20 average and called upon to lead the slower group. As we left the hotel and hit the first climb, I realized that this would be a day where I would be challenged to ride slow. I had been given strict instructions to stay 50 meters behind the group in front of me, but they were easily averaging at least 2 mph faster than my group. Soon there were only five with me" and I panicked a bit not having looked at this route.
As a faster group came by, I chatted with the leader, "Just follow the orange arrows, very easy." Ok. How hard could that be? My followers were oblivious to everything but the sun, wind and gorgeous snow capped Pyrenees in the distance. I was focused on the road in front of me. For those of you getting the metaphor I am laying out, you can skip ahead. Everyone else should keep reading because there is a lesson in life here.
Feeling very responsible to meet the lunch vehicle on time, I shepherded my small flock, keeping them on pace. Although it was almost painfully slow for me, they were challenged by the climbs, the speed and the wind. This was their first ride outside since last fall and but you would not know it. They tried their best to keep the pace I was demanding of them. Heartily smiling at me as I rode by them giving them help with gearing and teaching how to sit on the wheel in front of them, nothing phased them.
It was not until I saw a sign indicating that we were on the outskirts of Gerona that my heart did a double flip. I knew immediately we were way, way off course. Stopping by the side of the road, a look at the map confirmed my fears. Oh God, what had I done? I had followed the orange arrows but somehow we were no where close to where we were meant to be.
The group took it well. Chris tentatively asked about how far we were from the lunch vehicle. About 20 kilometers. And how far from home? About 40 kilometers. They kept smiling, assuring me they were having a great time. They just needed a pee break and some food and we would be set.
A quick stop at the gas station took care of both needs, and the decision was made by the entire group to forego trying to catch the lunch vehicle and head back to Tossa de Mar for lunch. That meant going back up the 7 kilometer climb we had come down. They were all up for it and continued to make sure they comforted me. "We are having a terrific time " we came to Spain to ride our bikes, and that is what we are doing!" Never mind no one knew where we were, or that I was adding at least 10 miles on to the trip, and not even providing them with food or drink. It was then I realized how far I had gotten away from riding my bike. I train, I don't ride. This group of five and I were not so different not long ago. I used to ride my bike for the view, for the flowers, the smells, the sun on my face. Now I ride for the wattage, the speed, the hours. Numbers versus things that touch the senses.
They faced the climb gamely and I saw the athlete in each one of them. They were defending their own yellow jersey as the struggled up the climb. Most had never done a climb like that, and not on an empty stomach after being lead the wrong way. Not one complaint, and nothing but delighted smiles on every face when they reached the top. They had succeeded " and there was a memory they would never forget.
From there it was all down hill to Tossa " where lunch at a lovely café by the beach awaited them. I headed back up the mountain to meet Richard and let him know we were not carnage on the roadside.
I will never forget today. I will never forget the site of a 70 year old man cresting the mountain pass, smiling at his success. Or the 60 year old woman who did the entire 50 miles on a mountain bike with slicks, keeping up with the group. Or the questioning look when I gave each rider a GU and instructed them to rip off the top and suck down the chocolate. "What is this?" they asked. "It is chocolate rocket-fuel," I replied. "This is delicious," exclaimed Monique. "Thank you so much for looking after us and teaching us," she said as she began the descent. I did not have the chance to tell her, I was the student today, instructed by the wiser, older generation, how to stop and smell the flowers. This is why we ride our bikes.

April 15 gets all the attention, but it's not the only tax deadline. If you turned 70 1/2 in 2013 (or if someone in your family did), you've got an important one coming up.
April 1 is the deadline for people who turned 70 1/2 to take their first annual required minimum distribution (RMD) from their individual retirement accounts and 401(k)s — you're supposed to take it by Dec. 31 of the year you turn 70 1/2, but that deadline is extended to April 1 for the first year. For every year following, including if you wait until April 1 to take your first RMD, you have to take the distribution by the end of the year.
The Cost of Procrastination
If you don't, it could cost you significantly. Failing to withdraw the RMD will result in a 50% tax on the amount not withdrawn. It's up to the account holder to make sure he or she withdraws the proper amount, and you can withdraw more than the minimum, but know that anything extra doesn't count toward meeting the next year's minimum.
Everyone has a different RMD, and the Internal Revenue Service explains how to calculate yours: "Generally, a RMD is calculated for each account by dividing the prior December 31 balance of that IRA or retirement plan account by a life expectancy factor that IRS publishes in Tables in Publication 590," the IRS website says.
Another thing to know: Roth IRAs do not require withdrawal until the death of the owner. Also, unless the withdrawal was already taxed or can be received tax-free, it is going to be counted toward your taxable income.
If you have multiple retirement accounts, you'll need to make a withdrawal for each one. Given the steep penalty for failing to make a withdrawal, you'll want to make sure you don't overlook anything. It's not a bad idea to reach out to the institution that manages your account for guidance on RMDs, and the IRS offers a lot of helpful information on its website, as well.

Architects apply high design to high tides
(01-23) 11:36 PST San Francisco -- One day in the early 1980s, Byron Kuth walked into a studio at the Rhode Island School of Design and spotted renderings that stopped him in his tracks.
He asked around about the artist and soon tracked down a brunette with fine features named Elizabeth Ranieri, an encounter that would mark the beginning of a long personal and professional partnership.
At the time, the school was drifting away from postmodernism and settling around "unprecedented realism," as professors like Rodolfo Machado asserted that all public structures were fair game for forward-thinking design, even highway clover leafs, retaining walls and, perhaps, levees.
That philosophy is evident in Folding Water, the now husband-and-wife architecture team's designs for a new kind of shoreline protection, which could combat sea level rise on the San Francisco Bay.
"We wanted to place a new mark into the bay, with minimal impact, but a very graceful and elegant presence," Ranieri said.
Molded by music
Kuth grew up in the Rubber Belt of Cleveland. But his love of music and design led him to the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia (Los Angeles County), the incubator for world-class illustrators and performers founded by Walt Disney.
In between design classes, Kuth learned to play a variety of little known and hard to pronounce percussion instruments (give "mridangam" a whirl). He eventually landed in India to study Carnatic music.
In the late 1970s, he split his time between a world music ensemble in New England and the Connecticut office of Charles Moore, the architect best known locally for designing the Sea Ranch community. In 1983, Kuth committed to the latter craft and enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Building as art
Ranieri grew up in Franklin, Mass., the last stop on a commuter rail line out of Boston's South Station.
Her father was a plumber-turned-contractor-turned-developer. She remembers the family home being cluttered with architectural renderings. On weekends, Ranieri would sometimes accompany her dad as his crew razed sites and relocated homes.
Those peeks into the subterranean world of pipes and foundations sparked an interest in infrastructure and public space that eventually led her to the Rhode Island school as well.
In the late 1980s, the couple set up Kuth/Ranieri Architects in San Francisco, where they quickly built a reputation for designing small but highly refined buildings. Over the years, they've also worked on a number of theoretical public works projects, increasingly with an environmental focus.
Which category Folding Water ultimately falls into - real or research- remains to be seen. But the couple are certainly pursuing it as the former.
They've assembled an advisory board of experts in hydrology, engineering and energy. They're also working with students and professors at the UC Berkeley College of Engineering to evaluate and model certain technical components.
The group is looking at Richardson Bay, along the southern edge of Marin County, as a possible pilot site for the levee. It's relatively shallow, narrow and isolated, critical factors for reducing costs and environmental impacts. It might also be a promising location for a proof of concept because Marin residents already regularly grapple with high sea levels, as was evident during the king tides of mid-December, when parts of Shoreline Highway and other areas flooded.
"There's an abstraction to this crisis," Ranieri said. "But here you have a problem in real time that people are upset about."

A Look At Twelve Years Of Dangerous Unintended Consequences From The DMCA
from the stifling-free-speech-in-the-name-of-hollywood deptThe DMCA has been in place for a dozen years now, and the harm done by its provisions has become quite clear. The framers of the DMCA did not take into account the unintended consequences of the law -- and even one of the main authors of the law, Bruce Lehman, now admits it was a mistake (though, as far as we know, he still hasn't apologized to James Boyle, who accurately predicted many of unintended consequences of the DMCA, only to have Lehman threaten to "rip his throat out" and to get Boyle denied tenure). So, twelve years in, the EFF has put out a document highlighting all of the dangerous unintended consequences of the DMCA:
- The DMCA Chills Free Expression and Scientific Research.
Experience with section 1201 demonstrates that it is being used to stifle free speech and scientific research. The lawsuit against 2600 magazine, threats against Princeton Professor Edward Felten's team of researchers, and prosecution of Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov have chilled the legitimate activities of journalists, publishers, scientists, students, programmers, and members of the public.
- The DMCA Jeopardizes Fair Use.
By banning all acts of circumvention, and all technologies and tools that can be used for circumvention, the DMCA grants to copyright owners the power to unilaterally eliminate the public's fair use rights. Already, the movie industry's use of encryption on DVDs has curtailed consumers' ability to make legitimate, personal-use copies of movies they have purchased.
- The DMCA Impedes Competition and Innovation.
Rather than focusing on pirates, some have wielded the DMCA to hinder legitimate competitors. For example, the DMCA has been used to block aftermarket competition in laser printer toner cartridges, garage door openers, and computer maintenance services. Similarly, Apple has used the DMCA to tie its iPhone and iPod devices to Apple's own software and services.
- The DMCA Interferes with Computer Intrusion Laws.
Further, the DMCA has been misused as a general-purpose prohibition on computer network access, a task for which it was not designed and to which it is ill-suited. For example, a disgruntled employer used the DMCA against a former contractor for simply connecting to the company's computer system through a virtual private network ("VPN").
And what's happening instead? Via ACTA, the US isn't just doubling down on the worst of the DMCA, it's trying to spread it around the world and to make sure that the US cannot fix the problems of the DMCA by creating an agreement that will allow DMCA defenders to say that we can't fix the DMCA or we'll violate our "international obligations."

The Crimson won its eighth Ancient Eight crown (photo courtesy Ivy League Athletic Communications).
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The combination of a 4-1 record and a Princeton win over top-ranked Columbia, the No. 6 Harvard men's fencing team earned a share of the 2014 Ivy League title Sunday at Brown's Olney-Margolies Athletic Center.
The title marks the eighth overall for Harvard and third in four years. Five Crimson earned All-Ivy honors in the repeat title performance. In the men's foil sophomores Jerry Chang and Michael Woo posted 14-1 and 13-2 records, respectively, en route to first-team all-conference accolades. Junior Alexander Ryjik also garnered first-team honors with a 12-3 performance in the sabre. Ryjik's weapon mate sophomore Duncan O'Brien went 11-4 on the weekend to receive second-team All-Ivy status while freshman epeeist Alexander Eldeib's 10-5 mark landed him on the second team.
After a 3-0 start on Saturday, the first match of the championships was a battle of the unbeaten as Harvard faced Columbia. The Lions held an edge after taking the sabre, 3-6, but the Crimson fought back and tallied an identical win in the foil to even the match with the epee remaining. Harvard took the first three bouts to hold a 12-9 lead, which was pushed to 13-12 when Eldeib downed Justin Wan. Luck was not in favor of the Crimson, however, as the Lions won almost simultaneously on two different strips to take the match, 14-13.
The hunt for the crown came down to the final round of the robins while Harvard defeated Brown, 17-10, fifth-seeded Princeton and Columbia battled. The Tigers took the sabre and foil by scores of 5-4 to lead 10-8 headed into the final weapon. The Lions' 5-4 epee victory wouldn't be enough to overcome Princeton's lead as Columbia fell to 4-1 on the day to share the 2014 Ancient Eight Crown with the Crimson.
Harvard, a six-time Beanpot Champion, defends its title Wednesday, Feb. 12 at MIT.

Even though the two biggest economies in the eurozone managed to grow in Q3, that wasn't enough to save the eurozone from falling back into recession–for the second time since 2009.
Although France and Germany each recorded growth of 0.2% for the quarter, other economies within the currency bloc shrank by more than enough to offset them, sending the region's 9.4 trillion euro ($12 trillion) economy downward for the second quarter in a row.
Reuters reported Thursday that Eurostat, the European Union's statistics office, said overall economic output in the eurozone shrank by 0.1% in Q3, after a Q2 shrinkage of 0.2%. While the Q3 drop is smaller than Q2's, it was still enough to put the region back into its second recession in the past few years.
Italy, Spain and the Netherlands all saw their economies shrink, while Greece has entered a full-scale depression. Even Belgium saw its economy stagnate. And many blame unrelenting insistence on tough austerity policies for the depressing news.
"We are now getting into a double dip recession which is entirely self-made," said Paul De Grauwe in the report. De Grauwe, an economist with the London School of Economics, added, "It is a result of excessive austerity in southern countries and unwillingness in the north to do anything else."
While the European Commission begs to differ, saying that labor costs are dropping and exports increasing for Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, and insisting that austerity is the only way to cut those countries' budget deficits, it has also said that overall the eurozone's economy will shrink by 0.4% for the whole of 2012–and it's not very optimistic about the possibility of a recovery next year, either, saying that the region's economy will grow by only 0.1%.

Scrambles are the new omelets on Long Island
Meet the new egg scrambles, which catapult plain scrambled eggs from good morning to great morning. It all happens in a hot skillet, where eggs are quickly stirred together with all manner of lively ingredients -- fresh herbs, cheese, vegetables, sausages, whatever. In the end, instead of a folded-over filled omelet or a flat baked frittata, you're looking at soft and creamy mounds, every forkful laced with color and flavor.
Though all the rage on the West Coast, these scrambles are only now turning up on Long Island. "I like them better than omelets," said Tom Koukoulas, chef-owner of Thomas's Ham & Eggery in Carle Place, which has its own "scrambler" menu insert. Koukoulas advises getting them scrambled soft rather than well-cooked. "It's that thing with texture," he said.
Weighing in is the chef co-owner of Brownstones Coffee in Amityville, Manny Kourounis, who has been experimenting with scrambles for years. Ideally, Kourounis said, neither the eggs nor the incorporated ingredients should predominate. Rather, they should be "in balance." Interestingly, he added, the one scramble on Brownstones' menu (others are offered as specials) is its second-best seller.
Scrambles have also caught on at Two Blondes & A Stove in Huntington, soon to undergo a name change. Its chef, Michael Hansen, says they're popular with customers heading off to work. "That's because they're not tremendously heavy."
Finding scrambles can be a challenge. Often, they're not clearly labeled. Some eateries call them "skillets" or feature them as daily specials.
We've done some scrambling to come up with the following list of breakfast and lunch spots where eggs have evolved.
Sarabeth's at Lord & Taylor, 1440 Northern Blvd., Manhasset, 516-627-3000, and 1200 Franklin Ave., Garden City, 516-742-7000, sarabeth.com
THE SCRAMBLE These department store cafes get it just right with the "Goldie lox," a scramble of eggs, cream cheese, smoked salmon and fresh chives. Have yours with a flaky raisin-studded scone and one of the fine fruit spreads dessert queen Sarabeth Levine is known for.
Brownstone's Coffee, 55 Merrick Rd., Amityville, 631-608-8627, brownstonescoffee.com
THE SCRAMBLES This nostalgically designed breakfast and lunch spot hits it big with its Breakfast Scramble of eggs, ham, crumbled sausage, bacon, peppers, mushrooms, tomato and Cheddar. Weekend specials include a Southwest Scramble with chorizo, peppers, onions, adobo seasoning, Colby Jack cheese and pico de gallo, as well as a Greek Isles Scramble with Kalamata olives, feta and spinach. Served with breakfast potatoes.
Toast & Tapas, 4 Berry Hill Rd., Syosset, 516-510-3855, facebook.com/ToastnTapas, and Toast & Co., 62 Stewart Ave., Huntington, 631-812-0056, toastandcoeatery.com.
THE SCRAMBLES Breakfast is taken seriously at these egg-centric siblings. A savory scramble of eggs and fresh herbs comes with a big sweet potato cake and Canadian bacon. There's also the signature chorizo skillet of eggs scrambled with caramelized onion, spicy chorizo sausage and tomatoes; sharing the skillet are potato sticks; hollandaise either comes on top or, by request, on the side.
Relish, 2 Pulaski Rd., Kings Park, 631-292-2740, relishkingspark.com
THE SCRAMBLES Chef co-owner Steve Cardello uses eggs from local farms for scramble specials, which might include pancetta, Fontina cheese, caramelized onions and roasted peppers or apple-wood smoked ham, sharp Cheddar, asparagus and leeks. There are other variations that are offered on a regular basis. Served with home fries and toast.
Thomas' Ham & Eggery, 325 Old Country Rd., Carle Place, 516-333-3060
THE SCRAMBLES At this popular diner, "scramblers" are served in skillets and, often, topped with a melt of extra cheese. They're made with three eggs but may be ordered with two. Varieties include the Popeye, with spinach, onion, bacon and Jack cheese; the Italian, with prosciutto, fresh basil, plum tomato and Fontina cheese; the Texan, with bacon, sausage, onion, pepper and Cheddar, the Lox and CC, with chopped nova, scallion and cream cheese and, finally, the Mexican, with chorizo sausage, jalapeños and Jack cheese. Served with home fries and toast.
THE PRICE $9 regular, $7 junior
Two Blondes & A Stove, 26 Clinton Ave., Huntington, 631-673-1300, twoblondesandastove.com
THE SCRAMBLES Michael Hansen, chef at this casual Huntington eatery, which is due to have a name change soon, calls them skillets. There's the vegetarian-friendly Giambotta, which combines eggs with roasted potatoes, zucchini, red peppers, onions and Pecorino Romano cheese. Carnivores can opt for the Triple Skillet, a meat-intense scramble of eggs, bacon, sausage, country-style ham and choice of cheese. Both come with hunks of toasted Italian bread.

Valentine in no rush to leave ESPN
STAMFORD -- One of baseball's favorite parlor games is guessing Bobby Valentine's next destination.
Every time a new managerial spot opens up, the Stamford native's name is prominent in the conversation, and with the end of the season and a number of jobs available, Valentine has again been a familiar topic.
But during an hour-long lunch-time interview in his downtown restaurant Friday afternoon, Valentine said it would be unwise to assume he is looking to make a move from his current job.
"I have an ESPN contract, and it's embarrassing going to work each day and people thinking I am leaving," Valentine said. "I am not approaching teams, they are approaching me."
Valentine, 60, confirmed that he has interviewed with the Blue Jays and Mariners.
Seattle had been considered a possible frontrunner for Valentine, who ended a five-year stint managing in Japan last year and was most recently in a Major League Baseball dugout with the Mets in 2002.
But Friday afternoon news surfaced that Valentine was no longer in contention for the Seattle job.
"I wish them luck," Valentine said.
Valentine had discussions with the Marlins, but said "we did not come to an agreement on going forward."
Valentine said he had a meeting but no interview with the Brewers.
Valentine, who has been working this year as an analyst for ESPN, said he has been enjoying working in the studio and, contrary to popular belief, is in no hurry to leave.
"I have a contract that I don't discount and I don't want them to think I discount," said Valentine, who has three more years remaining on his deal. "If people want to talk I feel I should listen, but I'm not applying anywhere."
Valentine, who in the summer was an analyst for the cable station's Little League World Series broadcasts -- "I loved doing that," he said -- just finished serving in the same capacity during ESPN Radio's coverage of the Rangers-Rays series.
It was Valentine's first endeavor with radio.
"It was really a lot of fun," Valentine said. "It was really a challenge and I think it was some of the best work I've ever done."
Valentine has a career record of 1,117-1,072 during 15 seasons with the Rangers and Mets, who he led to a World Series appearance in 2000.
In 2005, he led the Chiba Lotte Marines to the Japan Series title for the first time in 31 years.
Valentine will be on location for ESPN during the forthcoming World Series.

As glands go, we don't give the butterfly-shaped thyroid that straddles our trachea too much thought — until it stops working properly. The thyroid is a bit like your home's thermostat: turn it high, and you're hyperthyroid: heat intolerant, a high heart rate, and maybe some diarrhea. Turn it down, and you're hypothyroid: cold, tired, constipated, and possibly even depressed. Both conditions are associated with a long list of more serious health consequences. Between the two however, hypothyroidism is far more prevalent. The mainstay drug that treats it, levothyroxine (Synthroid), is one of the most prescribed in the world.
One of my more memorable pharmacy experiences involved levothyroxine. The store had recently changed its prescription labelling standards: It switched from listing the brand name, to only including the generic name (with the manufacturer in parentheses). Few patients noticed. But one elderly patient, taking Synthroid, was furious, and accused me of making a dispensing error. I assured her that levothyroxine was the active ingredient in Synthroid, and she was getting the exact same product as her last visit — but she would have none of it. Her symptoms had worsened, she said, because the medication wasn't the same. "I want Synthroid — this levothyroxine stuff does not work," she screamed at me across the counter. No amount of reassurance would satisfy her — I think we eventually resorted to custom, typewritten labels.
I mention this anecdote not to dismiss the symptoms of hypothyroidism as sensitive to placebo effects — hypothyroidism is a real condition with objective monitoring criteria. But this episode was one of my earliest lessons in understanding how perceptions can shape expectations of effectiveness — something that I'll come back to, when we look at the controversies of this common condition. Any the treatment of hypothyroidism is not without its controversies – most of which occur outside the realm of medicine, and can more accurately be labelled pseudoscience. Continue reading

The yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office remains in place as Yorkshire wakes up to Storm Hector's fierce gales.
Storm Hector set to batter Yorkshire with up to 70mph gales
The warning was put out yesterday (Wednesday) and is in place between 3am and 3pm, with winds of up to 60mph predicted for the county.
Due to a deep area of low pressure, which is named Storm Hector, the strongest winds reached Northern Ireland during the early hours of Thursday.
These strong winds then spread eastwards across other northern parts of the UK during the morning.
Westerly winds are likely to gust between 50 and 60 mph in many areas, including Yorkshire, with the possibility of winds reaching 70 mph in some exposed locations.
These winds should gradually ease from the west during Thursday afternoon, where a spell of heavy rain will accompany the wind.
Highways England warned drivers in the north to take extra care and be prepared for very strong winds.
READ: Drivers warned of extreme 60mph winds on Yorkshire motorways
The intense gales will be at their most dangerous between 6am and 1pm today and drivers are urged to check the weather and driving conditions before setting out on journeys and pay more attention to exposed locations such as high lying areas and bridges.
Those driving high-sided HGVs, caravans and motorcycles are advised to take particular care.
If motorists must travel then they are advised to plan their journey ahead of time, take extra care and allow more time for the journey.

Time to get sketch–y and design your own T–shirts, pajamas, flip flops, tanks & hats, or maybe phone cases, tote bags, drink ware, stationery and other great gear. You can have designs on (just about) anything you can think of! Add your sense of flair to everyday items like bags and water bottles, or take it up a notch and custom–create jewelry, keepsake boxes and home accessories. Make gifts for him, gifts for her, and even 'gifts" for yourself. Just start with your own image, photo or quote, and add it to any product you choose. This is one great way to put your personal stamp on a gift for someone special (or tailor it specifically to that someone special's style). Ready? Personalize!

Tentative agreement reached for school district and education association
The negotiating teams for the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and the Fairbanks Education Association reached a tentative three-year agreement on Wednesday, May 8. The agreement will require ratification by the FEA membership and approval by the Board of Education before it can be finalized.
The FEA members are scheduled to ratify the agreement at a meeting on Friday, May 17 at the West Valley High School Performing Arts Center.
"It has been a lengthy negotiations process. The teachers bargaining team worked over 200 hours since October to reach a tentative agreement and we know the District's team worked just as hard," said FEA President Sandi Ryan. "Both teams were committed to getting a settlement before the end of the school year and we're pleased to announce we made that happen."
The School Board is scheduled to vote on the agreement at the June 4 regular meeting.
"I am so proud of both teams and the positive approach they engaged in during these negotiations. They addressed important language issues, developed innovative solutions to the Tier III recruitment and retention challenges, and established financial stability for our teachers during a time of economic uncertainty in Alaska," said Superintendent Karen Gaborik.
The previous three-year agreement expires in June 2019 and negotiations between the two teams opened when initial proposals were exchanged Feb. 4, 2019. FEA is the largest of the school district's three bargaining units, representing over 900 certified school district staff, such as teachers, librarians, and counselors.
Some key points of the new tentative agreement include:
The tentative agreement would provide a one percent salary increase during the first two years of the contract, and then a two-percent increase during the final year.
The teams agreed to maintain the current healthcare structure to include a hard cap of district contributions set to go into effect after the second year of the contract.
The teams considered ways to boost the retirements of the members. They agreed the district will match member contributions up to 1 percent of the employee's annual salary into the employee's 403b supplemental retirement account. Teachers will also be able to cash out personal leave for further contribution to their supplemental retirement accounts. Tier III teachers will also be able to cash out sick leave for contribution to a 403b account.

In the 1980s the WAG identified photography as a specialized area of the collection.
Over the last two decades, the collection has grown to approximately 1,400 works representing mainly work by contemporary Canadian photographers working in the last half of the 20th century. These images range in subject matter and context, from landscapes to portraiture to social documentary critiques.
The collection includes work by such notable photographers as Isaac Applebaum, Roy Arden, David Buchan, Sorel Cohen, William Eakin, Evergon, Rosalie Favell, Eldon Garnet, April Hickox, Geoffrey James, Suzy Lake, John Massey, David McMillian, Sheila Spence, Ian Wallace, and Diana Thorneycroft. To strengthen the breadth of the collection, the Gallery has acquired works which are international and historical in scope, in particular the 180 photographs dating from 1914–981 by American-Hungarian André Kertész (considered to be the father of modern photography) that were donated in 1985.
The collection includes work by Diane Arbus, Irving Penn, Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bill Brandt, Edward Steichen, and Lotte Jacobi. In 2005 the WAG received a significant donation of 40 photographs by Edward Burtynsky tracing the last 20 years of his creative production.

Cycling BC Welcomes Ed Schum as Abitibi Project Leader
Courtesy Cycling BC
Long time Cycling BC member and Coach, Ed Schum, returns to lead the Tour de l'Abitibi Junior Men's High Performance Project in 2004. With a long history in sport, including involvement at the Provincial and National levels, Ed brings with him a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, coupled with the vast amount of experience gained from leading the Abitibi project on three different occasions!
The 2004 Project aims to build on the success of previous BC Team projects competing in the Eastern Canadian Stage Race, where in 2002, two BC Team members were selected to represent Canada at the World Championships.
Located in and around the township of Val-d'Or, Quebec, the Tour de L'Abitibi is perhaps the largest and most prestigious Junior Men's stage race in North America, and the only stop on the continent in the World Junior Challenge Series. Attracting teams from as far away as Holland and Japan, last year's roster boasted teams from seven countries, five provinces and two states. The eight-stage event covers a prologue, several road races, criterium and even a team time trail!
Over the next two months, several riders will be identified as long listed team members. The selection of these riders does not have any bearing on the final 6 that will represent the BC Team at the stage race. The long listed athletes will enable several of the eventual team riders to race as a unit before the actual event. All riders will have to qualify through the identified selection process.
Interested Junior-aged riders should watch the Cycling BC website for Project updates including Selection events. Men, with a racing age of 17 and 18, are requested to submit a brief race resume in the form of an email or letter expressing interest to Allan Prazsky, < a href=Mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>email@example.com to be considered and receive Project updates.
Cycling BC will be able to provide partial funding for this project. The exact amount is yet to be determined. All selected athletes will be informed as budgeting is finalized.
Blizzard Bike Club Fort St. John, BC - March 25th
Courtesy Blizzard Bike Club
This Sunday's final Blizzard Roubaix Cup race is going to be the tiebreaker. 1998 winner Pat Ferris and Mike Heintzman are tied for points going into this Sunday's final Beatton Park Roubaix. Each rider has won a stage. Ferris won the Baldonnel Roubaix and Heintzman won last weekends' Frozen John Roubaix.
Overall, 2003 co-winner Stephen Ferris is in second spot with 6 points and Gary Hilderman third with 2 points. The Beatton Park Roubaix has more pavement than the other two but has a lot more hills. The warm weather will dry the gravel circuit, somewhat, but it will be rough and tough.
It all comes down to Sunday. Race time is 2:00 pm starting at Beatton Park, near Charlie Lake.
Happy Birthday to..... Jean-François Laroche, today.
