Arvest Bank presented a donation to the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas in the amount of $500 that will support the food bank's backpack program, and other backpack programs in the area that are supported by the food bank. Backpack programs provide supplemental food for school children on weekends and holidays, times when they may not have enough food at home to eat for every meal. The food bank's backpack program provides food to more than 600 children in Baxter County alone.
Jeff Quick, CEO of the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas, said every dollar that is donated translates to five meals for those in need. Last year the food bank provided 2.7 million meals to residents in North Central Arkansas.
The presentation was made at the Chamber of Commerce's monthly Business After Hours networking event that Arvest sponsored and that was held at the bank's branch on Hwy. 62 East.
To increase the awareness of food insecurity in communities nationwide, Arvest Bank market president Sally Gilbert pointed out to attendees that food would not be served at the event, for the purpose of helping attendees identify with those who face food insecurity on a daily basis.
"Imagine how you would feel if going without dinner, or any meal, was something you had to face – every day," said Gilbert. "So many people have to make the tough choice between food and medicine, food and heating bills, or other choices that determine their ability to survive. Food insecurity is a problem that demands community involvement so those decisions between food and other necessities don't have to be made."
Gilbert said the donation is an early contribution toward two upcoming hunger awareness campaigns the bank will lead. The first is a one-day, grassroots awareness and fundraising effort called Feed the Pack Day, in which community volunteers will collect donations in Mountain Home, Flippin, Gassville and Yellville in support of the Food Bank of NCA's backpack program and other backpack programs in the area that are supported by the food bank. Feed the Pack Day is April 27.
Feed the Pack Day is held in support of a second initiative to reduce hunger in local communities, Arvest Bank's 8th Annual 1 Million Meals campaign that takes place April 2 to June 2 this year.
The bank-wide initiative encourages associates and communities to drop off nonperishable food items or monetary donations at any Arvest Bank location in a four-state area to help reduce food insecurity in the communities the bank serves. The goal is to collect the equivalent of one million meals collectively. Every donation stays local and benefits a community food partner.

METAIRIE, La. - The New Orleans Saints selected Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro with their first-round pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night.
The selection of the 6-foot, 214-pound Vaccaro on Thursday night, at 15th overall, gives the Saints greater depth in the backfield of a defense that ranked last in the NFL last season, giving up a single-season record 7,042 yards.
He will compete for playing time behind starting safeties Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins.
Vaccaro made 92 tackles and two interceptions last season, when he was credited with seven passes defended. In 2011, he was widely believed to be a candidate to leave Texas early after being named first-team All-Big 12. That season, he had 67 tackles, including 6 1/2 for losses, two interceptions, and was credited with seven pass breakups.
When coach Sean Payton, who was suspended all of last season in connection with the NFL's bounty investigation, was re-instated in January, he wasted little time making moves to overhaul the club's defense, firing coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and replacing him with Rob Ryan. The change also meant the Saints were scrapping the 4-3 defensive formation they'd used since Payton's arrival in 2006, and were switching to a 3-4.
Many of the Saints' moves in free agency - such as the acquisitions of cornerback Keenan Lewis and outside linebacker Victor Butler, also were aimed at shoring up the defense.
On offense, the Saints' needs were not as immediate. With offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. calling the plays and Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees executing them, that unit ranked second in the NFL last season even in Payton's absence.
The only significant hole on the offense was created by the departure of starting left tackle Jermon Bushrod for Chicago in free agency, but the club hopes Charles Brown, who has served as a reserve tackle since being taken in the second-round of the 2010 draft out of Southern California, will be ready to step in.
In Vaccaro, the Saints gain a player who demonstrated he could be an effective blitzer and who has had a hand in 11 turnovers in his college career. He also played some at outside linebacker and middle linebacker at Texas, demonstrating the versatility that Ryan will welcome on his defense.
He also blocked two kicks on special teams.

American Red Cross urges caution during Okla. heat
The American Red Cross is urging Oklahomans to take precautions as summer-like temperatures spread across the state.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says excessive heat has caused more deaths in recent years than all other weather events including tornadoes, floods and hurricanes.
The Red Cross says everyone is at risk when temperatures rise above 90 degrees, but the elderly and very young are most susceptible to heat and related illnesses.
Heat-related illnesses can cause serious injury and even death if unattended. Warning signs include nausea, dizziness, flushed or pale skin, heavy sweating and headaches.
The Red Cross says persons with heat-related illness should be moved to a cool place, given cool water to drink and ice packs or cool wet cloths should be applied to the skin.

The Crimson could not hold on to its early lead and fell to Cornell Friday night 3-1 (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's volleyball team jumped out to a 1-0 lead but could not sustain its momentum as Cornell fought back for a 3-1 victory Friday night at the Malkin Athletic Center.
Taylor Docter recorded a match-high 14 kills and five blocks as the Crimson (9-7, 2-4 Ivy League) dropped its second straight league match. Kristen Casey narrowly missed a double-double with nine kills and 17 digs while Erin Cooney notched eight kills and six blocks. Sandra Lyn Fryhofer totaled a match-high eight blocks as the Crimson combined for 12.
Harvard looked to be in control after an impressive 25-12 win in set one. The Crimson jumped out to a 6-0 lead behind the strong serve of Natalie Doyle and kept Cornell (3-15, 1-5 Ivy League) off-balance for the duration with solid defense. The Crimson totaled six blocks in the frame and held the Big Red to a -.119 hitting percentage.
Cornell was able to turn things around in the second set and hit .275 en route to a 25-18 victory. The Big Red held the lead from the first serve but Harvard made a late charge to pull within two points, 20-18. Cornell held onto its lead, however, and went on a 5-0 run to even the match.
The Big Red took an early lead in the third set and used a 3-0 spurt to pull away for a 16-10 advantage. Cornell's lead never dipped below three points from that point on as it took the set, 25-17.
Harvard went on top in the fourth set with a 5-2 margin before a 5-0 run gave the Big Red a 10-7 edge. A 3-0 stretch helped Cornell extend its lead to 20-14 and a second 3-0 run gave the Big Red match point, 25-18.
Cornell was led by Kelly Marble who turned in 14 kills and 10 digs. Madeleine Przybyl and Rachel D'Epagnier recorded 12 kills and 11 kills, respectively, while Kelly Reinke and Jordan Reeder dished out 26 assists and 23 assists each.
Harvard returns to action at the MAC tomorrow versus Columbia at 5:00 p.m. Fans can watch all of the action live online by clicking here, or can follow via live stats by clicking here.

Post subject: Creating HFS Disks and Images Under OS X 10.6 Leopard
In case you haven't heard, OS X 10.6 Leopard dropped write support for HFS disks and images leaving all of us vintage Mac-ers without the ability to support our habits under Apple's latest equipment. But ...
I was working with
over at LEM's Vintage Mac forum and came up with an extremely simple way to copy HFS disks and images using Terminal. I was using a USB Zip drive, but I would think a USB floppy would work just as well.
Here's the procedure: Unmount the Zip drive using Disk Utility (don't eject), and images. Then type the following commands in Terminal:
Image to Zip:
$ dd if=/Zip.dmg of=/dev/disk2s1
Zip to Image:
$ dd if=/dev/disk2s1 of=/Zip.dmg
Obviously "Zip.dmg" is the name of the disk image. "/Zip.dmg" specifies the image in the root directory or internal hard disk. "disk2s1" is the name of the USB Zip drive. This can be found by mounting the Zip disk and typing $ mount in Terminal. You'll see something like this in the list of reported devices: "/dev/disk2s1 on /Volumes/Untitled (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners)" Alternatively, in Disk Utility, you can
on the mounted Zip disk and "Get Info". The first item in the list will be "Disk Identifier : disk2s1" Make sure you unmount before you attempt to make a copy. You can do the same thing with the disk images if you don't know where they are and don't want to just put them in the root HD. Just
on the disk image in Disk Utility and look for "Full Path : /Zip.dmg".
ERRORS: I received an Input/Output error report on both making the disks and images, but both seemed to mount and work properly under the OS X Finder as read only. I have not yet tested them with real Macs yet. The disk image attempted to boot under Mini vMac, but reported minor repairs were needed then was unable to create a desktop database. The original disk image from which the real Zip was made and then re-imaged, worked fine in Mini vMac. So I'm not sure what the problem is yet. Also, the blank ZIP disk had already been formatted with HFS standard, so I don't yet know if formatted in another file system (i.e. FAT, HFS+) if this will still work. However, the disk image seems to be a proper HFS image, as Snow Leopard confirms it as read only, and Mini vMac easily reads it, if not able to fully start up from it.
Please, everyone, start trying this with your ZIP and Floppy drives to accumulate some data. There's a solution here somewhere.
Now who wants to write a script to automate this for the rest of us?

Post subject: Disk Imaging Update
Lowendmac presciently
covered this topic last year
and confirms that "dd" works well with a USB floppy disk.
However, as it turns out, Snow Leopard's Disk Utility WILL create an HFS standard disk image from an external drive. Mount and highlight the HFS drive you want to create an image from. Under "File", "New", "Disk Image From (Select a Device)..." This produces a perfectly functional HFS disk image.
Presumably, Disk Utility must be able to mount the disk volume in question, so if Apple ever completely drops HFS, I would presume the option will no longer be possible in Disk Utility. I only tried this with a ZIP drive, but it would not image the drive itself, only the mounted partitioned volume. So this may or may not work differently with hard drives and floppies.
Also, there is a way to directly mount an external HFS drive under SheepShaver. More on that to come.

Retailers tend to lump tablets and smartphones into the same category called "mobile," but that might not be wise, according to the results of a new study by online marketing technology company Monetate.
The company has studied more than 100 million online shopping experiences and the results make it clear that tablets and smartphones should be separated out as separate audience segments or retailers risk alienating customers. What's more, as other studies have found, tablets are a much more valuable device for ecommercethan smartphones.
Shoppers who are using tablets are much more similar to shoppers who use PCs than shoppers who are on their smartphones. They tend to view nearly the same number of web pages per visit as tablet users, while smartphone users view fewer pages.
Monetate also has seen that the tablet user conversion rate, or the pace at which browsers become buyers, is pretty much equal to the conversion rate among PC shoppers, whereas few smartphone shoppers become buyers.
According to Monetate, conversion rates have consistently been above 3 percent for both tablet and PC shoppers, while the conversion rate for smartphone shoppers in the latest quarter was 1.39 percent and has never gone above 1.7 percent.
Tablets Chip Away at PC Traffic
But those tablet shoppers are poised to become increasingly important to retailers as consumers continue to shift to tablets from PCs. The pace of this shift is so rapid that if it remains at its current pace, website traffic from PC users will dip below 75 percent in less than a year, according to Monetate.
In the first quarter, 88 percent of website visits came from PCs, down from 92.1 percent in the prior quarter, Monetate said. The bulk of the lost share is going to tablets.
In the first quarter of 2012, the share of traffic to ecommerce sites from tablets hit 6.52 percent, outpacing smartphones traffic, which had a 5.35 percent share, for the first time.
Over the past year, tablets' traffic rose 348 percent while smartphones visits grew by 117 percent over the same period. Almost all of the traffic, some 95 percent, came from Apple's iPad, Monetate said.
Monetate's research suggests a swifter acceleration of tablet use than other competing studies, such as one conducted by Adobe last month that suggested tablet traffic worldwide will exceed smartphone by early 2013and represent 10 percent of website traffic by early 2014.
Smartphone users appear to be using their phones to do more comparison shopping and research than do tablet users, said Kurt Heinemann, chief marketing officer at Monetate. They also may be coming to ecommerce sites from email links.
"It's not really that great for shopping," he said.
It is also possible that ecommerce sites could get more sales from tablet shoppers if they improve the shopping experience.
"Many retailers haven't optimized themselves for the tablet," Heinemann said. He explained that many online shopping features, such as mousing over a product to see it in larger detail, go away on a tablet. Retailers need to think about the shopping experience and how it differs on the tablet, rather than just riding the backbone of a mobile site.
Is Social Just Hype?
The study also had a few interesting things to say about social media. Although ecommerce sites are seeing higher traffic from social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, almost half of the visitors leave the website without going to another page. Of those who stick around, just 3 percent add a product to a cart, and less than 1 percent (0.49 percent) actually make a purchase.
"Social really is not a costly source of traffic, you have to be in the game because you need the exposure," Heinemann said. That said, ecommerce sights have to do more to keep customers engaged on their website once they arrive.

I'm new to programming/linux and trying to install BLT2.4, which is needed for another program that will be installed later. First, I successfully installed tcl8.3 tk8.3 and their dev counterparts on my 64-bit Ubuntu machine. I then tried configuring BLT2.4y with the command:
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.3 --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.3
and get several messages like this when I make:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux gnu/4.7/../../../../lib/libtk8.3.so when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../libtk8.3.a when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtk8.3.a when searching for -ltk8.3
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltk8.3
I get the same kind of messages for ltcl8.3. After hours of searching and trying different fixes (using symlinks, installing multilib, etc.), I've had no success.
It might have something to do with the makefile, which is generated automatically from makefile.in after configure. I've tried suggestions like "CFLAGS=-m32" makefile changes but no dice. This is my makefile right after configure:
CC = gcc
EXTRA_CFLAGS = -Wall -fPIC
DEF_BLTINIT = -DBLT_LIBRARY=\"$(scriptdir)\"
SHLIB_LD_FLAGS = -rdynamic
SHLIB_LD_LIBS = -ltk8.3 -ltcl8.3 -lX11 -lm -lnsl
SHLIB_LD = cc -pipe -shared
prefix = /usr
exec_prefix = /usr
libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib
bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
srcdir = ./..
instdirs = $(exec_prefix) $(libdir)
scriptdir = /usr/lib/blt2.4
LIBS = -ltk8.3 -ltcl8.3 -lX11 -lm -lnsl
TCL_ONLY_LIBS = -ltcl8.3 -lm -lnsl
What changes (if any) should I make to the makefile/makefile.in, linking, etc so this will compile? Just wanted to mention again that I am generally new to linux/programming in general. Any suggestions to resolve this is greatly appreciated.

At its June 5, 2013 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the creation of the downtown mixed-use zoning districts and the related rezoning amendment.
The City Council will consider these two actions in separate meetings. First, on July 11 at 7:00 pm at City Hall, the Council will hold a public hearing to consider the creation of the districts. The rezoning of properties to the new districts will occur at a separate public hearing after the Council has adopted the creation of the districts.
Please refer to the downtown rezoning page for more information about the three proposed mixed-use zoning districts and rezoning of downtown properties.
If you have additional questions that are not addressed on the downtown rezoning page, contact Senior Planner Joelle Jordan at 512-218-5422 or Planner Brad Dushkin at 512-671-2728. Para información en español sobre la propuesta de rezonificación del centro, por favor llame al 512-218-5428.

Elliot's first ambulance ride..Friday, December 17th, 2010
Elliot had a series of seizures that lasted 30+ minutes on Weds. morning. It looked like one long seizure to me, as he was never responsive and there was very little break between them. We have video, yuck! He had another one about 6 weeks ago, which was not as complex, lasted about 15 min total, and he was somewhat responsive during that one. Ryan convinced me that he was sleeping with his eyes open during the first one, he has been known to sleep with one eye open and sleeps deeply, so it made sense at the time. On Weds. he took an ambulance ride to the ER, then again to CDH where we stayed overnight. They did an EEG on Weds. and an MRI on Thurs.
Elliot's MRI showed a spot (each doc called it something different, one said scar tissue, one said sclerosis, blah blah, I'm going to request the records and see what the report actually says) in the same area of his brain that the EEG showed a slightly slower electrical pattern, so indeed *something* is going on, and it is causing partial-complex seizures. He's had 2 instances, both early in the morning, which is when the brain shifts from sleep to wake, which can be a trigger. He also had a bout of diarrhea Weds. morning, and it's entirely possible the dehydration could be the trigger for the seizure, or it could be totally unrelated. He does seem to have vomiting as a post-seizure symptom, though that could also be related to the different meds he was given in the ambulance and ER. Not knowing is so much fun!
The diagnosis is not epilepsy, at least not yet. We were offered meds to control them, and decided to wait and see. The neuro says that because his brain is still growing and changing very rapidly that he has a good chance of outgrowing them, right now he has a 50/50 chance for having another, and if he has another, the risk goes higher for it continuing. We've opted for now to wait and see, if he has another we will look closely at the medications, if he has none, we will be thankful. We do have a prescription for a med that will stop a seizure if he does have one again. I'm probably going to seek a second opinion as well, since I found the neuro patronizing, and his specialty is adhd/migraines, not seizures.
Elliot is clingy and whiny today, and we're all tired, and all thankful for all the support and positive thoughts and prayers that were tossed our way via FB and email the last few days.

Historic Moment for Drug Policy Reform Movement
The momentum for drug policy reform continues to gather strength and is now undeniable. Voters in two states–Colorado and Washington–have now approved marijuana legalization under state law. This represents a historic moment in the drug reform movement. Rejecting the hard‐line 'lock'em up' mentality that has dominated U.S. drug policy, two states have now broken rank and will now try a new approach.
Legalization means adult marijuana users should not be treated like criminals. Legalization means police should spend their time more wisely – focusing on violent offenders, not people who choose to grow and use marijuana. Federal law remains in effect, but the Obama administration should allow the states to chart another path. One of the benefits of our federal system is that states can experiment with different policies so we can learn what works well and what does not.
It should also be noted that voters in Massachusetts overwhelmingly approved an initiative that would legalize medical marijuana, which continues the liberalization trend in that area. Several cities in Michigan – most notably Detroit – voted to decriminalize marijuana for adults.
From the west coast to the east coast, the political climate for drug policy reform is getting better and better.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China will seek to encourage more private investment in its state-dominated energy sector, according to a new industry white paper published by official news agency Xinhua on Wednesday.
China is preparing for a once-in-a-decade leadership transition in November, and its new leaders are widely expected to push for the sort of market-oriented reforms that will break up monopolies in sectors such as energy.
The new policy document said China planned to "give full play to the fundamental role of the market in allocating resources" and would draw up new regulations designed to reform the energy sector.
Included in the list of possible private investment targets were the exploration and development of energy resources, coal processing, oil refining, renewables, the construction of oil and natural gas pipelines and the electricity sector.
"All projects listed in the national energy program, except those forbidden by laws or regulations, are open to private capital," the document said.
Policy makers have struggled to bring market forces to bear on the energy industry, with dominant state-owned enterprises like the State Grid Corp. proving resistant to change.
The white paper said China would also seek to improve legislation on, and regulation of, the industry, with plans to adopt a comprehensive new energy law and new provisions dealing with oil reserves, natural gas and nuclear reactor management.
While China is committed to raising the share of renewables in its overall energy mix to 15 percent by 2020, it said it would also promote the clean development of fossil fuels and improve power generation efficiency.

Sharron Angle is the Tea Party candidate running as a Republican in the Nevada senate race. Oh, and she's a misogynistic godwalloping asshole:
MANDERS: I too am pro-life, but I'm also pro-choice. Do you understand what I say when I mean that?
ANGLE: Well, I'm pro responsible choice. There's choice to abstain, choice to use contraceptives … there's all kinds of good choice…
MANDERS: Is there any reason at all for an abortion?
ANGLE: Not in my book.
MANDERS: So, in other words, rape and incest would not be something?
ANGLE: You know, I'm a Christian, and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that he can intercede in all kinds of situations and we need to have a little faith in many things.
I really don't understand why Christians would want to promote the idea that God is a sadistic dick who's making you get raped for your own good, but hey, feel free to continue your bad PR. What I do have a problem with is when you illogical fairy tales are going to hurt people and become public policy. The fact that people support this woman is terrifying.

Colorful Welsh Country Home
Color and light in a magnetic home for a couple who love to entertain
A journey to the Northern Wales country home of Austrian Countess Elisabeth Eltz and her husband harks back to the artful cinematography of many a warmly recalled historical film. Flocks of sheep dot the surrounding mountainsides like drifts of freshly fallen snow. Centuries-old villages beckon visitors to streets lined with timeworn architecture. Charming small shops—ranging from butchers to silversmiths—provide both the necessities and the little elegancies of life.
When Elisabeth married her husband in 1990, he had already lived in the house for 17 years. It was his home base while visiting the U.K. location of his Austria-headquartered company. But his demanding work and travel schedule left little time for entertaining. The arrival of Elisabeth, an accomplished hostess, changed that.
"After we married, we wanted our time here to include family and friends," explains Elisabeth. "Our family members, who live mostly in other parts of Europe and the United States, have been great Anglophiles for generations, so we are able to provide them with a wonderful British experience and fond memories."
Not long after Elisabeth moved into the home, which was built in 1973, she devised a long-term plan for renewed interiors, hiring Chester, England, designer Mark Gillette, whose job it was to take the residence from austere to relaxed, comfortable, and inviting.
"My role was always to provide a backdrop," Gillette explains. "It was not about the decoration, but about the house, its beautiful setting, and the art and furniture collections. My goal was to update the house but not overwhelm or draw too much attention."
The design creates comfort with colorfully patterned fabrics that complement the textured wood surfaces of limed oak paneling and moldings framing the living room and library. Fabrics also warm the waxed walnut finish of the master sitting room.
"I think the layering of pattern and texture that I strive for is an extension of the way I dress—a balance of new and old styles," says the designer. "When I present my design plans, I often worry that these layers can be confusing and overwhelming at first, placed on an idea board in small pieces. But they are essential to achieve a sense of tradition and a home that has evolved over time."
The living room and library—which have doors that can be opened to enhance flow—boast riveting views of a landscape that includes manicured gardens, a pool, and wooded areas that afford fleeting glimpses of deer. The two rooms' colors coordinate. A wool-and-silk rug with a dominant red ground in the living room inspired the palette. Gillette incorporated a gentler version of the color, a soft coral, on the sofas and on a pair of occasional chairs.
The library's palette is from the same family but more intense—like an outspoken younger sister. Nestled into a bay window, a sofa upholstered in a tea-stained linen depicting botanicals is flanked by drapery panels in a passionate red. Chairs covered in a Wedgwood blue mini-print work in both rooms, echoing the spectrum in the oil paintings.
Effortlessly elegant, the dining room gleams, enhanced by the French doors' mirrored panes that bounce light around the space.
"People tend to design dining rooms so they are dramatic, and look good at night, when there is candlelight that reflects around the room," says Gillette. "But it's not always night. I didn't want this room to be too heavy and overweighted with dark colors."
Also, to keep the dining room from donning the "boardroom look" that often develops when all the chairs are placed around the table, Gillette took several of them away and casually dispersed them in the living room and library to tie all the spaces together.
Now that the interiors are complete, Elisabeth can let the house create its own patina—clear evidence that this is a place that has been lived in and loved by friends and family.
"The house has the ability to be formal, but it is also very comfortable for the two of us, our guests, and our dog, Minnie," says Elisabeth. "We have very busy lives and travel a lot, so the house has to be a calm haven. That it is."

Optimizing Dialyzer Design Using Multiphysics Simulation
A while back, I had the opportunity to speak with Steven Conrad, a critical care physician at the Louisiana State University (LSU) Health Science Center in New Orleans. Not only is Dr. Conrad a physician as well as a professor at LSU, he's also a biomedical engineer who uses finite element analysis (FEA) to conduct research on the design of dialyzers. Dr. Conrad uses COMSOL Multiphysics to gain a deeper understanding of the physics behind these devices, and to create simulations that are on the cutting-edge of dialyzer design. Here, I would like to share some of his current research and how he uses FEA and multiphysics simulations to optimize the design of dialyzers.
Velocity streamlines depicting blood flow in the junction between
an inflow artery (left) and a synthetic vascular graft (bottom) in a
simulated vascular access circuit.
Renal Replacement Therapies
In an article I wrote based on an interview with Steven Conrad ("Physician Uses Multiphysics Simulation to Improve Dialyzer Designs", Medical Design Briefs), I discussed his dialyzer designs as well as the implementation of his finite element models.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports some daunting facts about kidney diseases and renal failure. It states that one in nine American adults (that's over 26 million people!) suffer from kidney failure, which in turn accounts for nearly $40 billion in medical resources per year (as of 2009). With the number of patients needing dialysis increasing by 5 to 10 percent each year, it is evident that yearly treatment costs will continue to grow. Optimizing the dialysis process could not only increase a patient's chance of survival, but also decrease medical costs by relieving the financial burden of dialysis, which will then allow the treatment of more patients.
Modeling Fluid Flow in Dialyzers
Renal replacement therapies, such as dialysis, work to remove electrolytes, metabolites, and excess water that build up in the body as a result of kidney failure. One such device used in many renal replacement therapies is a hemodiafilter — a dialyzer that is composed of an artificial membrane. The membrane is made up of axisymmetric hollow fibers and dialysate, a non-Newtonian fluid that filters toxins and solutes from the blood. The dialyzer is attached to a vascular access graft from an arteriovenous fistula. Waste products are filtered into the dialysate while the remaining clean blood is pumped back into the body though a vein.
Improvements to Past Dialyzer Designs
The use of multiphysics simulations is growing in the medical and biological fields. The design of dialyzers is one great example of therapies where simulation makes a big difference. Previous dialyzer models had mostly been designed empirically, or used lumped-compartment models that greatly simplified the interactions taking place within the dialyzer. Dr. Conrad's designs offer many improvements to these simplified models.
One of the main improvements is a more complete simulation of the porous membranes that line the hollow fibers of the dialyzer. Dr. Conrad's models take into account the near-membrane interactions that occur between blood and membrane. Such interactions include convective and diffusive transport across the membrane and the backfiltration that can occur when the dialysate moves back into the filtered blood.
You can learn more about the physics that were implemented in Dr. Conrad's dialyzer simulations by checking out the full-length article on the Medical Design Briefs website.

Brian Cookson, the UCI president, has insisted the uncertainty surrounding the 2015 Track Cycling World Championships will be resolved soon.
The calendar for the 2014-15 Track World Cup series is still to be revealed and the venue for next year's world championships is unknown. London's Olympic Velodrome will host the 2016 event.
It is understood a return to Melbourne, the world championships hosts in 2012, is possible, depending on whether the state of Victoria offers its financial support, and Aguascalientes in Mexico is another potential host. Its velodrome, which is at altitude, hosted last December's Track World Cup meeting at which a host of world records were smashed.
"We have a number of proposals now on the table and we'll be making a decision very shortly," Cookson said. "It's not ideal, but it's a real-world problem. The real-world problem was that there weren't any bidders coming forward.
"The ones that were interested originally had withdrawn, so we are now proactively looking and talking to people and I'm optimistic that we'll get a solution in time so everyone will be able to book their flights."
The concern is not about the world championships themselves, but the lead-up to them, as the World Cup series carries qualification points for the event and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Riders must also qualify for World Cups through lower-profile meets throughout the summer.
Meetings in the next two months will determine the full calendar but federations have expressed a desire for the 2014-15 season schedule to be known in full by May at the latest.
Cookson hopes to ensure the uncertainty does not happen again. "We are going to look at the process by which we have been inviting tenders and bids for world cups and world championships, particularly on the track, where we seem to have had a problem of getting sufficient people interested," he added. "That's clearly something we've got to address. The track commission and myself and the senior staff at the UCI are going to be reviewing that and trying to make some changes."
The Track World Championships, which concluded in Cali, Colombia, on Sunday, were a resounding success. The Velodromo Alcides Nieto Patino has a roof suspended over the track but no walls – meaning the elements have an impact – and there were concerns last Monday, when wind blew rain water on to the track.
Cookson is determined it remains a truly global event. "There's a clue in the name – it's a world championships, so there's got to be an opportunity of travelling from place to place," he said. "It can't always be in the easiest places in Europe.
"What we've got to make sure is when it does travel around the world, it's in venues that are suitable, facilities are accessible and all the rest of it. I'm determined that that's what we'll do in the future."

The new Fulton County Humane Society's auxiliary board met March 24 and a capital campaign was initiated.
The campaign will continue for six months with a goal of $250,000. Funds will go toward purchasing and renovating a building for a shelter.
The effort is off to a good start with $25,000 now in the fund.
The group is considering the purchase of the Springhill Kennel building on State Route 108.
A goal for the shelter is to create play areas for dogs to interact. A well-adjusted dog can suffer greatly when kept in a cage unable to interact with other dogs.
Springhill already has dog kennels in place, but some modifications will be needed to prevent the "prison" image of a dog warehouse.
The facility will also need a veterinary room for surgery and examinations, along with an isolation room for new arrivals and animals in recovery.
An additional modification will be needed to house cats. Agreeable cats will also be able to interact with one another.
Two adoption rooms are needed for people to privately mingle with their potential pets.
A final goal for the facility is to create a fenced-in dog park with trails, benches and play equipment.
Plans can be viewed at the organization's website: FultonHumaneSociety.com.
The next meeting of the Humane Society is scheduled at 6 p.m. April 7, in the Fulton County Administration Building (driver's license bureau), located at 152 S. Fulton St. in Wauseon. Use the west entrance. The building will be open for 15 minutes and then locked due to the time of day.
For more information about the organization, call 888/335-3916.

Packers Reportedly Not Among Teams at Dominique Easley Pro Day
The Green Bay Packers were reportedly not among the teams at the personal pro day workout for Florida defensive lineman Dominque Easley on Thursday, according to Jeff Barlis of ESPN.com:
Rams, Raiders, Bucs, Skins, Cards, Cowboys, Jags, Bears, Pats, Ravens, Giants, Chargers, Seahawks, Titan, 49ers & Chiefs here to see Easley
— Jeff Barlis (@JeffBarlisESPN) April 17, 2014
Houston Texans were here to watch Dominique Easley's workout as well. Believe that makes 17 teams all told. Impressive draw for one prospect
— Jeff Barlis (@JeffBarlisESPN) April 17, 2014
Easley very likely would have been a first round draft choice had he not tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee this past season.
On Thursday, Easley still was not 100 percent but estimates he will be so by summer. Despite the injury, Easley still figures to be a Day 2 draft choice come May.

Probably not a great fit for the Packers, but leave it to TT to fake everyone out by not going to see a guy he likes.

SAN FRANCISCO — Millions of Americans use smartphones for tasks like hailing a taxi or checking in for a flight. But for buying something in a store? That mostly remains a tech entrepreneur's dream.
For years now, the promise of a so-called mobile wallet — in which paying in person can be as simple as hitting a button on a phone — has led to a host of American start-ups trying to cash in.
Those companies, though, have faced nearly as many hurdles as they have competitors, including the most basic ones: Many people are not aware of the new payment systems, others are confused by the many choices, and some see no benefit in the mobile option over using cash or credit cards.
The hurdles have left all the payment companies scrambling to find the code for a profitable business model. And now, a feeling is growing that mobile payments systems will not replace traditional wallets, at least anytime soon.
"There was the assumption that there was going to be some sort of spark that ignited the marketplace, and there was going to be a mobile payments revolution," said Denée Carrington, a Forrester analyst who studies the mobile payments market. But people do not mind paying with cash or a credit card, she said.
"So this was never going to be a revolution," she said. "It's definitely more of an evolution."
Despite the slow uptake of the technology by consumers, there is no shortage of ways to pay using a mobile phone. Start-ups like Square, Loop, LifeLock and Clinkle offer apps that promise to let smartphone owners pay for products in stores with the tap of a button.
Bigger brands have stepped in, too, offering different types of mobile payments. Samsung Electronics last year agreed to include Visa's software payWave on many Samsung phones.
And for years, Google has offered Google Wallet, which allows consumers to load their credit card information into a digital wallet so their phones can be tapped on some merchant terminals instead of using a credit card.
Apple has not announced plans to get into mobile payments, but Timothy D. Cook, the company's chief executive, has said that it is an area of interest.
None of the companies, though, have found the winning combination to transform mobile payments into everyday consumer behavior.
The research firm Gartner estimates that worldwide, people spent $235.4 billion through mobile payments in 2013, compared with $163.1 billion in 2012. But that number is much smaller in North America, where consumers spent about $37 billion through mobile transactions in 2013, up from $24 billion the year before.
And analysts say that before the public can be expected to know about and widely adopt mobile payments, some significant problems must be overcome.
As the digital payment world stands now, there are many different parties involved in making the payments work, and they come from different industries and have different interests. The disparate parties include banks, payment networks, retailers, wireless carriers and the companies that make digital wallets themselves.
Merchants who want to accept mobile payments are unlikely to support all the possible types. So consumers who want to buy things with a phone must first find a business that supports the technology, and then figure out which smartphone technology the store accepts.
Square, a San Francisco start-up that is one of the most prominent mobile payment companies, has struggled to get people to use its Square Wallet app for paying with a smartphone. The company has renamed the app several times to gain more attention.
Square's big partnership with Starbucks, which the start-up hoped would help it add users, instead led to losses at Square of at least $20 million last year, according to a person who was involved with the partnership, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the number was private. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported the loss.
Square declined to comment.
David Byttow, who was the lead engineer working on Square Wallet from mid-2012 to mid-2013, said getting a mainstream digital payment solution started was difficult and represented something of a catch-22 situation. More people would most likely use a service if it were widely available, he said, but merchants are not interested in installing new payment software and hardware unless a large swath of shoppers are using the service.
But even if the payment process were widely available, companies still would need to persuade consumers that there was an advantage to making payments from a phone.
Aditya Khurjekar, a former Verizon Wireless executive who worked on mobile payments there, said he believed consumers do not find it bothersome to carry or use credit cards and cash.
"There isn't a problem to solve," Mr. Khurjekar said in an interview. Mr. Khurjekar, who now runs the Money Event, a business conference revolving around mobile wallets, said companies offering mobile payments needed to offer incentives that cash and credit cards cannot, like coupons and discounts.
"The mobile payments experience has to become the hook for some other commerce shopping experience," he said.
While the mobile wallet appears to be years from widespread use in America, it has already started to catch on elsewhere.
In Japan, for example, NTT DoCoMo, the country's largest phone carrier, said that about one third of its roughly 65 million subscribers were using its mobile payments service. The service, called iD, is used for payments with taxis, vending machines, buying a meal at McDonald's or even paying to get on the subway.
Kyoshi Mori, a mobile systems specialist for DoCoMo who focuses on the company's payments system, said an important decision DoCoMo made was to share its payments system with anyone who wanted to use it, including other carriers. DoCoMo teamed up with Korea Telecom, the top phone carrier in South Korea, to support a standard mobile payments system that was compatible across both their networks.
That way, when customers travel between Japan and Korea, they can take their mobile wallet with them and use it on the other country's network.
That strategy helped mobile wallets achieve the critical mass necessary to persuade many Asian merchants to buy the infrastructure needed to support the technology, Mr. Mori said in an interview last year. A mistake made by many companies offering mobile payments technology is that they think primarily about how to make money instead of driving adoption of the technology first, he said.
"We had to start doing something collaborative to get the ball rolling," he added. "Once that happens, the other players will say, 'If we don't get on board, we'll lose.' "

Don't miss these two new talks, added to the program over the weekend.
Joe Gregorio will speak in the Python track on Thursday morning. In Threading Is Not A Model he writes
We have many concurrency/multiprocessing capabilities at our finger tips, such as threads, processes, locks, mutexes, select, epoll, transactional memory, etc. But none of them are a model for multiprocessing, they are only tools on which you would build an implementation of such a model. So what are the models we can choose from? How would they be implemented in Python? And how do they relate to the principle of sufficient irritation?
Meanwhile, Jeffrey Osier-Mixon from MontaVista will speak about effectively managing documentation in open source projects. He explains that documentation is an often overlooked, but essential part of a project.
Documentation is a vital user-facing component of all serious projects, open-source and otherwise, but it is often overlooked—-or, worse, dealt with in fire-drill mode just before going to manufacturing or market. However, documentation is a project's backbone. It is often what users and OEMs see first, and it is also the place you want users to look when they have questions or problems (so they don't have to call you).
Catch Jeffrey's talk on Thursday afternoon.

Historic Homes
The Vermilionville Living History Museum and Folklife Park is one of the world's largest physical representations of an early Acadian settlement using original structures dating from 1765 to 1890. You will be transported back in time with our historic park's attractions, including seven restored original homes sitting on a 23-acre site housing local artisans demonstrating a variety of essential crafts performed by the early settlers.
La Chapelle des Attakapas
Vermilionville's chapel is a reproduction of the style based on the Catholic churches at Pointe Coupée (1760) and St. Martinville (1773). Catholicism was the only legal religion in Louisiana before the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Since the Roman Catholic Acadians loved their religion and the priests visited infrequently, the Acadians celebrated la messe blanche (a prayer service conducted by laymen). Slaves practiced the religion of their masters. Free men of color enjoyed social prestige, were economically independent, engaged in many trades, and worshipped in the same churches used by whites. Slaves sat in small pews on the side aisles. Rosary making is sometimes demonstrated here. The rosaries are made of seeds of the coix lacryma jobi plant, known as Job's Tears. You can see a Job's Tears plant outside the chapel in Le Parterre garden.
Beau Bassin
Circa 1840, Beau Bassin was built of colombage and bousillage with a blend of Creole and American Greek Revival styles. Spinning, weaving, quilting, and textile crafts are demonstrated in Beau Bassin, and on display is a 150-year-old Acadian loom. In Canada, Acadian women wove wool and flax, and in this new land, they learned to weave cotton.
Maison Boucvalt
La Maison Boucvalt (c. 1860) is a classic 19th century Acadian/Creole house. Glass transoms let light in and hot air out. The louvered shutters are adjustable. The kitchen and bathroom were added around the turn of the 20th century. Treadle machine sewing is a craft that is demonstrated in this house.
Maison Mouton
La Maison Mouton is a reconstruction of an 1810 house, a basic Acadian house with a detached kitchen. There were no glass windows, only shutters locked securely against weather and possible intruders. La galerie (the porch) served as an extra room in good weather and a place for social activities. The cabinet making and other woodworking skills demonstrated here were essential tasks for the Acadian man. Cypress, oak, and walnut woods were available. The Acadians arrived from Canada with no tools, but the Spanish government provided tools and new ones were fashioned as needed by the blacksmith.
The schoolhouse is a reproduction typical of 1890s schoolhouse architecture. In l'École, you may see the lines "I will not speak French in school," on the blackboard recalling the time in the early 20th century when Louisiana law forbade the speaking of Southwest Louisiana's principal language – even on the school playground.

What is at the heart of your tradition, and what matters when it comes to sharing a Thanksgiving table? For me, it's being together with friends, family - or both, spending time cooking delicious foods, and eating together - enjoying each other's company with gratitude.
Even though holidays can push all of our trigger buttons so effectively, by being thrown in the stew of family dynamics, the stress of bringing a huge meal to the table and the digestive toll of eating too much - it can also be differently wonderful. It can be exactly what you want to eat, shared with the people you most want to enjoy.
When six of us sit down to our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, for instance, there won't be a bird, stuffing, mashed potatoes or gravy on the table. Our focus will be on vegetables, cheese and homemade pasta, because that is how I want to love my family this year. All of the vegetables will come from either my fall Hogsback CSA farm share - leeks, onions, garlic, celery root, carrots, squash, thyme, potatoes - or from my parents' garden - kale, tarragon, rosemary and Brussels sprouts. The other ingredients will come from as close to home as possible, with the exception of a marvelous hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese that I brought back from a recent trip to Italy, which has inspired our menu.
We'll start the day with coffee and homemade prune or poppyseed-stuffed kolacky (Czech filled buns) - an annual Czech tradition that my mother bakes the day before. For lunch, we'll have a bowl of Celery Root Bisque with a batch of hot rolls right out of the oven. They'll be my mom's famous crescent rolls - tender and buttery, but this year my husband will be learning to make them with her, expanding his knowledge for his new love of baking.
In between breakfast and lunch, my mom and I will spend a few hours in the kitchen - my favorite place to be on any holiday - where we'll work on prepping the dinner. I'll be making one of my favorite things that needs to be made with heaps of love: homemade pasta. I'll be roasting a buttercup squash, and sauteéing onions to make the pasta into Tortelli di Zucca - or squash and parmesan-stuffed ravioli, which we'll have with a decadent butter and sage sauce. My mom will be working on the sides and her apple-cranberry tart. We'll take time away from the kitchen to play cards for several hours, make a fancy cocktail or have a little glass of bubbly, and then sit down to eat our ravioli with a lovely salad, sautéed Brussels sprouts with pecans and shallots, Tuscan white beans (recipe in my Nourish: Spring cookbook), and sautéed kale with garlic. It will be simple and perfect for our day.
Next year it will probably be something entirely different all over again. Maybe there will be more tradition on the table, or maybe not. But it will always include the important stuff: food, friends, family and love. What will be on your table?
Celery-Root Bisque
Prep time: 30 min
Cooking time: 1 hour
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
4 tablespoons organic butter (substitute extra olive oil for a dairy allergy), divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb celery root (also called celeriac), peeled with a knife or Y peeler, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 large potatoes, cut into 1/2" pieces
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, rinsed and chopped
1 medium shallot, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
6 cups vegetable stock - homemade stock or from organic bouillon cubes - OR water
1 teaspoons sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Warm a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, then add 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil along with the celery root, potatoes, celery, leeks and shallots. Stir to coat all of the vegetables in oil, then cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 15 minutes. Add stock, salt, and pepper and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes.
Purée soup with an immersion blender, or cool for 15 minutes and carefully purée in batches in a blender until smooth, then return to pot. Reheat bisque over low heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
While bisque is reheating, warm a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, then add the butter and mushrooms and sauté, stirring the mushrooms until crispy golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer mushrooms to a plate.
Serve bisque topped with mushrooms and a garnish of minced thyme leaves.

Steve Lopez: Was I too hard on Robert Rizzo? No way
To critics who say I was too harsh or unfair for attempting to interview Robert Rizzo, the reviled former Bell city official who is now guarding a parking lot in Huntington Beach, I've carefully considered the criticism and have two things to say.
First, I have no regrets. Second, I'm not sorry. I thought it was worth asking Rizzo if he had any regrets or would like to apologize for the fiasco in Bell.
He has been essentially unresponsive and unavailable since the story broke, and I thought it was worth trying to get him to talk when I had a rare chance.
He is charged with more than 50 felonies and is accused, along with cohorts, of misappropriating millions of dollars in a poor community, while concealing the fact that his annual compensation was in the $1.5-million neighborhood.
Citizens paid astronomical taxes during this period, and among the money allegedly raided was a low-income housing fund. In the grand tradition of bellying up to the public trough, Rizzo stands charged as a champion, a high achiever and a Hall of Famer, make no mistake.
As he awaits trial, the city of Bell suffers the devastating effects of years of deception and mismanagement, and it may take many more years for fiscal order to be restored. If you'd like to read a columnist who would pass on the opportunity to ask the man about his alleged deeds, and yes, to put his feet to the fire, you should immediately find another columnist.
I'd also like to say that despite one reader's claim that Latinos like me should be kicked out of the country, I'm actually thinking of staying, at least until I see what happens at Rizzo's trial.

FREE ENGLISH FULLTEXT: Changes in intensity of neurotic symptoms associated with reduction
of suicidal ideation in patients who underwent psychotherapy in the day hospital for the treatment of neurotic
and behavioral disorders
Aim. Analysis of associations between changes in the intensity of neurotic symptoms and reduction of suicidal ideation (SI) or lack of SI reduction, in patients who underwent a course of intensive psychotherapy conducted in integrative approach with predominance of psychodynamic approach in a day hospital.
Material and method. Symptom Checklist KO"O" and Life Inventory completed by 473 women and 207 men treated in the psychotherapeutic day hospital due to neurotic, behavioral or personality disorders between 2005–2013. During the qualification for the therapy 134 women and 80 men reported SI, of whom 84.3% and 77.5% respectively improved.
Results. The reduction of neurotic symptoms intensity was greater in patients of both genders who improved in terms of SI than in those who did not. This referred to global intensity of neurotic symptoms (OWK coefficient) in both genders (p<0.001), as well as to the majority of the neurotic symptoms subtypes in both genders (p<0.05): Phobic disorders, Other anxiety disorders, Obsessive-compulsive disorders, Conversions and dissociations, Autonomic disorders, Somatization disorders, Neurasthenia, Avoidance and dependence, Sexual dysfunctions, Dysthymia; and in case of women (p<0.05): Hypochondriasis, Depersonalization and derealization, Impulsiveness and histrionism and Non-organic sleep disorders.
Conclusions. The results show effectiveness and comprehensiveness of intensive psychotherapy as a treatment method that leads to improvement in terms of both SI and neurotic symptoms. This suggests that the applied therapy may be effective in preventing suicidality in this group of patients. The observed associations also point in favor of hypothesis on similarities in etiopathogenesis of and partly identical personality-related factors predisposing to SI and neurotic disorders.

Google received 1,851 patents, a 62 percent jump from last year, and moved just ahead of its Silicon Valley rival Apple.
Google's significant rise in patents was reported by research firm IFI, and shows the tech company ranked 11 on the list of awarded patents (IBM was No. 1), according to GigaOm. Apple was No. 13, with 1775 patents awarded.
The push could be because of Google's movement towards wearable computers, including its Google Glass system which needs several patents to ensure it controls the rights to Glass.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Google is also aggressively lobbying for patent reform, likely because so many patents are full of general definitions or basic ideas that had no business being patented. Some of this had to do with the lack of technical knowledge in the U.S. Patent Office especially in the 1980s and 1990s, but it's also led to several firms buying up older, vague patents to sue for patent infringement. These firms, people or conglomerate are also known as "patent trolls."
In many ways, Google has to have as many patents as possible to protect itself and its intellectual property. Nonetheless, we also hope the tech titan will continue to fight for patent reform -- which may head to the Supreme Court.
