bile duct
See biliary duct.
bile ductA generic term for any of the ducts which begin with the bile canaliculi in the liver, converging in turn with the canals of Hering, the interlobular bile ducts, intrahepatic bile ducts, and the left and right hepatic ducts to become the common hepatic duct, which exits the liver and joins the cystic duct forming the common bile duct. The common hepatic duct and the cystic duct are regarded as the "bile ducts", which then enter the pancreas, merge with pancreatic duct, dilate to form the ampulla of Vater, pass through the sphincter of Oddi and enter the duodenum.

See also: duct
bile ductThe narrow tube which carries BILE from the liver to the bowel. The bile collecting tubules in the liver join up to form a main tube called the hepatic duct. Just under the liver, this gives off a branch, the cystic duct, to the gall bladder. The duct continues down, as the 'common bile duct' to run into the DUODENUM.

Warren Buffett's warrants to buy over 43 million shares of Goldman Sachs at $115 each are almost back "in the money."
MarketWatch's Alistair Barr reminds us that Goldman's rally in recent months has greatly increased the potential value of those warrants.
They were essentially thrown into the deal as a sweetener when Berkshire Hathaway bought $5 billion worth of preferred stock from the firm at the height of the credit crisis last fall.
Buffett's main objective was the 10 percent guaranteed annual return from the preferred shares. In his letter to Berkshire shareholders last month, he called the equity participation a "bonus."
Back on September 23, the day Buffett's multi-billion dollar "vote of confidence" in Goldman was announced, shares of the firm closed at $125.05. Three days later, they finished just short of $138.
Over the next two months, Goldman shares plunged over 62 percent to close at $52.
Since then, however, Goldman has staged a comeback, more than doubling to finish yesterday (Monday) at $111.93. Current price: (NYSE: GS)
That's just a few dollars below Berkshire's strike price of $115 a share.
For every dollar that Goldman's stock price rises above $115, Berkshire could potentially make just over $43 million by purchasing Goldman shares at the strike price and reselling them at the higher market price.
Barr's example has Berkshire clearing $1.5 billion if Goldman shares rise to $150. The warrants don't expire until 2013, so there's plenty of time for Goldman to move even higher.
Last fall, Berkshire also bought $3 billion of General Electric preferred shares, and received additional warrants to buy $3 billion of GE common stock at $22.25. Those warrants remain well out of the money, as GE only recently moved back above $10 a share. Current price: (NYSE: GE)
Current Berkshire stock prices:
Class A: (NYSE: US;BRK.A)
Class B: (NYSE: US;BRK.B)

The Asbury Park (N.J.) Press and the Virgin Islands Daily News won top awards in the annual Associated Press Media Editors' Journalism Excellence Awards.
APME also said three media companies are finalists for its seventh annual Innovator of the Year, one of which was a finalist last year.
More than 30 winners were announced in the 2013 contest in the categories for media organizations.
"We had a large number of high-quality entries in this contest, but I find it interesting how smaller news organizations like the Virgin Islands Daily News continue to compete very well in this contest every year," said APME President Brad Dennison. "Overall, we saw incredible amounts of watchdog and enterprise reporting, as well as news innovation. I find that very encouraging for our industry."
There were 244 entries this year, including those for the separate AP staff awards.
The Asbury Park Press was voted as the 43rd annual Public Service Best of Show for its multiplatform news coverage as well as its online Resource Center for Superstorm Sandy. The award carries a $1,500 prize.
"With its community wrecked along with much of the New Jersey shore by the furor of Superstorm Sandy, the Asbury Park Press staff performed a public service like few others," the judges wrote. "And it demonstrated hard-hitting investigative journalism on causes and effects and by donating profits of books to the Red Cross.
"APME Public Service judges considered some incredible work this year, but Asbury Park's Sandy coverage stood above the rest."
The Virgin Islands newspaper was a winner in the under 40,000 circulation category for its "Our Money, Their Failure" project, which exposed a plan by the Islands' governor to build a $30-million sports complex with private partners who had questionable backgrounds.
It was also named The Tom Curley First Amendment Sweepstakes Award winner for its project "The Battle for V.I. Senators' Spending Records," which spotlighted how government officials were using millions of dollars in taxpayers' money to "live large." The award carries a $1,000 prize.
"The Virgin Islands Daily News team's tireless reporting set the standard for what embodies the highest standards of commitment to results," the judges said. "This scrappy newspaper clearly overcame `significant official resistance to legal application of the First Amendment or FOI laws.' The V.I. Daily News demonstrated both fluency with the local FOI law and tenacity in asserting the public's right to know under the law."
In the Innovator contest, The Arizona Republic became a finalist for the second year with its AZ iPad app of an evening news magazine for the iPad. It will compete with the two other finalists, WLRN-Miami Herald News radio and The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch, at the annual APME conference in late October for the award. The winner will receive $1,000. The sponsor is GateHouse Media Inc.
WLRN-Miami Herald News radio was selected for its "News as a Shared Experience," and the Dispatch was cited for the "bold, new format" for its print product.
"It was exciting to choose three finalists with such different but innovative projects," the judges said. "It shows again how news organizations are willing to adapt and innovate to meet of the changing needs of their audiences."
APME also announced award winners in three other innovation categories as well as Digital Storytelling, International Perspective and others. Awards will be presented at the awards luncheon Oct. 30 during the conference in Indianapolis.
Judges did not participate in discussions or vote on categories involving their own news organizations' entries.

The second annual Solar Challenge has begun in Chile's Atacama desert, where 15 solar-powered cars rolled out of an old salt mine Thursday.
The solar-powered prototypes will travel more than 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) through the world's driest desert in the four-day, multinational race.
There are two categories: cars powered only by solar energy, and three-wheeled models that get a little help from pedals pushed by the drivers themselves.
The cars had to be built for less than $7,000, forcing their makers to be creative more than wealthy. Most of the teams represent university engineering departments.
The big finish comes Monday, and the winners get prizes of $30,000 in the solar category and $9,000 in the hybrid category.

Adminstrative Note
Although this page remains valid, the MinGW team have decided to no longer promote mingwPORT distributions. Therefore the information below is for your own use only. The latest way to share build information for packages is with mgwport .
Using mingwPORTs
The mingwPORTs provide an automated and repeatable method of creating and building libraries and applications from source. By using a build script such as the mingwPORT files, developers can easily share the steps it takes to create an executable or library on their particular operating system with a specific compiler. The mingwPORT script files are designed for the standard GNU style build tools and a standard shell such as the bash shell. They automate the usual ./configure, make, make install process. The mingwPORT scripts can be customized for non-standard builds such as those that require patches in order to work.

There is mention of OT materials in the following text.
One of the main reasons critics protest the Church of Scientology is its lack of honesty. Scientology is not upfront about its core beliefs via its confidential scriptures. Those who reach Scientology level OT III and above are forbidden to speak about it with non-Scientologists or even the Scientologists who have not made it to that level, and it would be a high crime to do so. Using training routines to misdirect reporters (www.solitarytrees.net/racism/reporter.htm) , Scientology spokespersons frequently lie about the doctrine of Xenu, body thetans, and other facts about their "religion". Tommy Davis, spokesperson for the Church of Scientology international, is interviewed by Nathan Baca of KESQ and confronted about these scriptures, and fails to easily answer Nathan's question directly. Learn more about Scientology's fraud and abuse at the follow websites: www.whyweprotest.net www.xenu.net www.xenutv.com www.youfoundthecard.com We have nothing against the beliefs of Scientologists, but the Church of Scientology should be open and honest about them.

The Little Golden Calf
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Little Golden Calf (1931) is a famous satirical novel by Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov that contributed a number of terms and catch phrases to the Russian language.
- Horns and Hoofs ("Рога и копыта"), an ironical placeholder name for a business engaged in shady or dubious activity. A company with this name was established by Bender to make things look official.
- Sitz-Chairman (зиц-председатель, zits-predsedatel), a strawman chairman. The Horns and Hoofs was headed by Sitz-Chairman Funt. The title is a bilingual Russian-Yiddish pun. The Yiddish word "sitzen" means "to sit", which in Russian connotes "doing time". Also "Sitz" has legal meanings similar to the English "seat". The sole function of a Sitz-Chairman was to do prison time when (not "if"!) the time comes (Compare Sitz-redakteur, a person hired by a 19th century German newspaper for the same purpose). One notable modern usage: "Зицпредседатель" is the Russian title for the film The Hudsucker Proxy.
- Children of Lt. Schmidt (Дети лейтенанта Шмидта), a term for small-time con artists. In the book, it was found that there are thirty men and four women impersonating the offspring of Pyotr Schmidt, in order to get money from the government.
- Beer is served only to members of the trade union ("Пиво отпускается только членам профсоюза"), an enduring parody of the Soviet system of privileges.
- An automobile is not a luxury, but a means of transportation ("Автомобиль — не роскошь, а средство передвижения"). The phrase, reminiscent of Soviet style propaganda, saw some usage within the Eastern Bloc. More recently (circa 1989), Mircea Dinescu opined, A wife is not a luxury, but a means of transportation (referring to people who took Western spouses in order to emigrate).
- Keep on sawing, Shura, keep on sawing! ("Пилите, Шура, пилите!"). This ironic phrase refers to an enterprise which is about to fail, especially when continued effort only serves to postpone the inevitable moment of disaster and punishment - a situation known as "death march" in software development. In the novel, two hapless crooks stole kettlebells thinking they had gold cores. The original text in the book omits "Shura", but popular versions usually add the name as above, or alternatively: Keep on sawing, Shura, they are surely golden!
- Now I will have to become a building superintendent! ("Придется переквалифицироваться в управдомы" - the last line of the book). Spoken after one's dreams have been crushed and harsh reality is setting in.
- No, this is not Rio de Janeiro. ("Нет, это не Рио-де-Жанейро"). Used to describe anything that isn't quite all it's cracked up to be. In the book, it is Ostap Bender's hint to his dream to get rich and move to Rio de Janeiro, to walk in white pants under the bright sun.

Cypress Bay's girls' volleyball team rolls past Coral Springs
Cristina Finan and three of her fellow seniors on Cypress Bay's girls' volleyball team ate tired of reaching the state playoffs only to see their season end in the opening round.
The Lightning (23-3) served notice Wednesday night this could be a special season. Led by Finan's 15 kills, six digs and two aces, Cypress Bay rolled to a 25-10, 25-21, 25-17 victory over visiting Coral Springs (19-6) in a Region 4-8A quarterfinal.
Priscila Ertty had 19 assists and 2 kills. Tora Banos added seven digs.
"All the years I've been here we've always made it through districts and then lost in the regional quarters. To finally win it feels good," said Finan, who fueled a 10-0 Lightning run in the first set to set the tone for the match.
Next up: A rematch with district rival Western, which went on the road to knock off Douglas in four sets 17-25, 25-14, 25-8, 25-22. The match is scheduled for Monday night at Cypress Bay.
"It's going to be awesome to play Western again because, obviously, they're our biggest rivals," Finan said. "It should be a good game."
Cypress Bay, which reached the state semifinals in 2004 and 2002, hadn't won a regional playoff game since 2008 before Wednesday night. The Lightning split the season series with Western and then knocked it off in the District 12-8A title game last week.
"We're a lot more versatile," Cypress Bay coach Chris Guerra said. "I have a lot of depth as opposed to last year when I didn't have a lot of players on the bench I could really count on. This year everybody has an important role. They bring something to the team. The girls love playing with each other and for each other night in and out.
"We feel this can be our year."

I have an embedded device, built using buildroot, kernel version 3.6.11 running busybox. The kernel is built with completely default options. I have configured the device according to what the network guy has specified for the IP, gateway, netmask etc and I have put these values in the /etc/network/interfaces file. When the system boots up, a call to
ifconfig tells me that all the network settings are what they are supposed to be. However, I cannot ping any other machine on the same subnet as the device. I can communicate with my host machine with a direct ethernet cable connection so I think the network adapter is ok - I can
ssh to the host, and the host can view the target correctly from the
vsftpd I have installed on the device.
Basically I am very unsure how to proceed with diagnosing the problem. I am drowning on internet forum linux network setup guides and getting nowhere. Also, worryingly, when I type
# ip addr show dev eth0
I get the report of a segfault in libuClibc-0.9.33.2.so. I built this all using buildroot and it reported that everything was successful. Is it possible that I have a broken kernel?? I really do not know how to proceed so any advice would be gratefully received.
EDIT The output from
ip addr show dev eth0 is
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen

When I call the same command on the other adapter eth1, then I get no segfault, so really don't know what is going on.
EDIT2 After rebuilding with debug information and
strace I was able to get strace output of the segfault - I do not really know what this means though other than it looks like it is trying to write to a location it perhaps should not (I have not included it all, just the last few lines).

Learn how to break bad habits and make the good ones stick. We've got 15 easy-to-follow healthy solutions.
Whether it's snacking before dinner or eating on the run, we frequently fall into patterns with little thought at all. The potential consequences of habitual eating are anything but nourishing -- it can lead to health problems ranging from poor digestion to weight gain, and an increase in the stress and imbalance in our lives.
Did you know zoning while watching TV can partially satisfy your sleep drive? That means that come bedtime, the alerting force (the signal that tells the body to wake up) has the upper hand, making it hard to nod off. Instead, use qigong, a healing art drawn from TCM, that can help you correct even occasional sleep problems at their source, allowing you to feel healthy and rested again.
Complement your exercise routine with yoga to counter stresses and strains, restore balance, and avoid injury.

Torence Hatch loves our military.
Back in November, on Torence Hatch's birthday, Quante Eggleston gets a call from Boosie to wish him the best on his premier video "Pour it Up"
Lil Boosie has received an overwhelming amount of support from our hero's in the armed forces. The comments from the soldiers have inspired Boosie to push harder even when others are trying to bring him down. He thanks these fans greatly for understanding the meaning of his music and for fighting for this country and keeping it strong. In this video
you will see very exclusive footage of Lil Boosie calling into Savannah, GA on his Birthday from the Angola prison to wish Quante "Mr R and B" good luck on his video shoot and the girls from Bikini Nation and Quante all wish Boosie a happy Birthday while on speaker phone and Boosie sounds really happy which he deserves :-) Quante has on his Marine dress blues. People close to Quante know that he his unit were blown, from the inside, out of their infantry tank by an I.E.D they recovered from an enemy post while serving in Iraq. Boosie gained strength by helping Quante face obstacles he has already faced on the music front while Quante continues to build his physical strength and has made an enormous recovery. Lifting people up is the secret to success for everyone.
Quante has worked with Lil Boosie's daughter Iviona on several songs on her first album. Much love from Lil Boosie, Mrs Connie Hatch and the entire Hatch family

Links of Interest
Known for Eldora Ski Mountain, Frozen Dead Guy Days, and its small mountain town atmosphere, Nederland is a popular place for tourists and small, local businesses. Its name means "Low Land," which a casual observer can't help but find ironic as it's located at 8,240 feet above sea level.
Its picturesque Barker Meadow Reservoir and mountain views make this town a beautiful place to hike, bike and of course, ski. Its close proximity to Indian Peaks Wilderness, Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National forest make it a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts.

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

It's safe to say best-selling author Augusten Burroughs, who wrote Running with Scissors, has faced some unusual life experiences. He transformed himself from a former advertising employee grappling with alcoholism to a successful author—and that was just in the second half of his life. It's no wonder he has a lot to say about coming out on top of life's difficult situations.
In This is How (out May 8), Burroughs delivers raw advice on everything from "how to be fat" to "how to change the world" in a voice that's heavy on honesty and light on the hand-holding.
Check out an a exclusive clip of Burrough's no-nonsense advice below but — fair warning — the profanity is definitely NSFW.
What do you think of his honest style? Are you excited for This is How?

Miley Cyrus Successfully Punks Liam Hemsworth + Khloe Kardashian on Last Night's Episode
Miley Cyrus successfully punked her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and friends Kelly Osbourne and Khloe Kardashian on last night's episode (May 17.)
Cyrus was a victim of punking herself on the season premiere, where she thought she was punking Justin Bieber, but he was punking her in secret! So much punking! Luckily for Miley, she was able to pull off her pranks with ease and little suspicion.
Her BF, 'Hunger Games' actor Liam Hemsworth, dealt with naked people entering his car while he stopped at an ATM. The Aussie actor blew his stack when the cops got involved and the perps claimed they were hanging with Liam and Miley, and that's when his lady love pulls the plug on the prank.
She pulls a trick on both Kelly and Khloe. They are supposed to have a girl's night but a delivery man shows up and gets his penis caught in a zipper and requires help!
In the behind-the-scenes clip, Khloe, who is used to having cameras in her face thanks to the 900 reality shows she has been on, said, "I thought it was a girl's night. But I guess no girl's night for us. It's a TV night, a 'Punk'd' night … I always said if I ever got punked, I would know. This is like… I had no idea."
In another outtake, Miley looks so entertained by having punked her man, who looks incredibly relieved after he finds out the jig is up.

Panels and speakers include:
- Speaker from ALA highlighting the latest news from publishers and vendors of digital media

- Panel discussion: How to Justify Digital Content in your Budget
- Panel discussion: Beyond Downloadable Books
The membership meeting is extremely important this spring. We plan to officially add two sections (YALS and IT), re-ratify our membership dues per our by-laws, and adopt a few by-laws revisions due to changes that have occurred since the last revision in 2006.
The cost to attend the day is FREE if you are an NHLA member and bring your own lunch. There will be a $10 fee for lunch, payable upon registration, if you so choose.

It's time for a graphical throw-down featuring everyone's favourite confusing mash-up, Kingdom Hearts.
While Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix doesn't release until December for the West, we can already compare its graphics to the older version of the game. The video changes between the HD and SD version on its own, but you can also tell it to focus on one specifically at any given moment by pressing the HD and SD buttons on the top left and right corners of the video.
Obviously, the PS3 version looks better — the graphics are crisper and they have more detailed textures.

Hands on: MiNi Ray Projector reviewNot yet rated TechRadar Pro
The world's smallest standalone DLP projector lands with no fanfare.
The world's smallest standalone DLP projector lands with no fanfare.
This is one seriously bright and long-lasting projector, and it's all about easy maintenance.
If you're after something to power portable presentations, the Optoma ML550 is an expensive but worthwhile option.
Mini Review An entry-level DLP installation projector aimed at conferences and classrooms, NEC's PE401H is thoroughly professional - if a tad old-fashioned.
Mini Review Selling at a mere £409.99 or less online, Epson's EB-X11 is an attempt to please everyone in a compact, highly capable package.

There's nothing like a freshly picked strawberry, nothing. The ones you buy in the dead of winter in the supermarket, have nothing on the ones you get from your nearby farm. Local strawberries are sweet, red, they melt in your mouth. So when Foodbuzz asked for ideas for this month's 24x24 dinner extravaganza, I knew June and strawberries, well, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. What's ahead in this post - is a 4-course meal, based entirely on strawberries and their many uses. Even if you're not local to New England, please read on, there's a reason I'm telling you all of this.
|Cider Hill Farm, Amesbury, Ma.
|rows and rows of strawberries
|Picking my own strawberries
|my box of strawberries - 6.5 pounds
The amazing meal I'm about to tell you about wouldn't be possible if not for the folks at Cider Hill Farm and their hard work. Not to mention, they saved me a bundle. I picked 6.5 pounds of strawberries at $2.75 a pound. I'll have enough for this meal, jam, and frozen strawberries that will last me well into the winter. So without further ado, I give you a dinner party I appropriately named after one of my favorite Beatles tunes, "Strawberry Fields Forever".
Course 1: Chilled Strawberry Tequila Soup
Serves: 4
A lot of chilled strawberry soup recipes call for some kind of dairy. I'm not a fan of chilled soups that are creamy, for some reason, I always want them to be heated up. I did my own variation that's dairy-free, but unbelievably refreshing.
4 cups whole strawberries, washed and hulled
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons sugar
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup good tequila
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 a lime, sliced, for garnish
Place strawberries into a food processor and puree until chunky. Next, add the rest of your ingredients and pulse in food processor until well combined. Chill in refrigerator for at least an hour. Serve in bowls, garnish with fresh lime slices.
Course 2: Spinach and Strawberry Salad
Serves: 4
Strawberries are perfect paired with another in-season favorite, spinach. This is versatile. Swap out the feta with gorgonzola or blue cheese. Instead of red wine vinaigrette, whip up some poppyseed dressing. Add candied walnuts or slivered almonds. All are fantastic.
4 cups spinach, chopped (or 4 cups baby spinach)
2 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 cup feta
Red Wine Vinaigrette
Source: Giada de Laurentiis
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil
For the Salad
Toss together all ingredients in a large serving bowl. Set aside while you make the dressing.
Preparing the Dressing
Combine red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse to combine and then while the machine is running, add olive oil until all ingredients come together.
Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat.
|brown sugar dry-rub
Sorry folks, you'll have to tune in next Sunday for how to make this one up. I know, I'm such a tease. This post is already so epic, it's time to take a little break. Next Sunday will be part two of strawberry fun. We'll talk how to make strawberry ice cream and these lovely treats. We'll also talk about ways to stretch your strawberry haul well into the dead of winter.
I hope you enjoyed this trip through the strawberry fields. Our dinner guests definitely did.
What's your favorite way to use strawberries? I'm dying for a perfect strawberry cordial recipe, please comment and share below if you have one of those or any other strawberry recipe. I'd love to feature a collection of your ideas in next Sunday's post!

If the first day of free agency belonged to the Miami Dolphins, the Detroit Lions are doing their best to catch up in Day 2.
As predicted by NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, Lions general manager Martin Mayhew has stolen the show Wednesday.
The latest free agent to sign with the Lions is former Houston Texans safety Glover Quin. It's a five-year contract, as announced by the team.
After two seasons of touch-and-go injury updates from Louis Delmas, Quin offers a far more stable option at safety. Not only the Texans' leading tackler but also one of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' top playmakers in 2012, Quin has missed only one game in four NFL seasons.
The 27-year-old ranked 23rd on Gregg Rosenthal's list of the top 85 free agents and No. 1 on my list of the best available safeties.
Although the Lions have re-signed Chris Houston and added Quin, they might not be done overhauling their secondary. The Texans, on the other hand, likely will lose pass rusher Connor Barwin in addition to Quin.Follow Chris Wesseling on Twitter @ChrisWesseling.

One man has made the series his oyster in the last decade in Jimmie Johnson, who won an unprecedented five straight titles from 2006 to 2010, and again in 2013. Tony Stewart won in 2011 and Brad Keselowski won in 2012. Sprint Cup Series racers tend to be more well-known to the public as they receive a fair amount of media coverage through their ESPN/ABC media deal. Some of the other well known racers in the series are Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joey Logano, Kurt Busch, and Carl Edwards. Of course, Danica Patrick isn't your average racer either, but she hasn't made much of an impact on the standings since joining the Sprint Cup Series.

African-Americans in Virginia
African Explorers, Jesuit Missionaries and Enslaved Africans
Africans first came to Virginia in the early 1500s — almost a century before the English permanently settled Jamestown in 1607 — as explorers and as members of Spanish and French Jesuit missions.
For example, Estevanico, an African from Morocco, had been captured by the Portuguese and enslaved by a Castilian who took him on an expedition to conquer Florida. Estevanico — also known as Stephen the Black and Stephen the Moor — led further expeditions to the southwestern states.
Also, Spaniard Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón brought enslaved Africans on an expedition from the Dominican Republic to Virginia's James River and Chesapeake Bay in 1524. It is believed by some scholars that many Africans escaped and lived with the Native Americans.
By 1600, the first Melungeons were documented in the southern Appalachian valleys. The Melungeons were the first people, aside from Native Americans, to move into Virginia's Appalachian region. Many of the Melungeons were of Portuguese ancestry, with North African and Native American traits.
The African-American experience in Virginia spans centuries, from Jamestown and the Revolutionary War through the Civil War, Emancipation and the Civil Rights eras.

Africans in Jamestown and Colonial Virginia
Jamestown - The first Africans who came to Jamestowne arrived in 1619 aboard a Dutch slave-trading vessel. The captain exchanged about 20 African slaves for supplies. The Africans then became indentured servants, such as Englishmen who traded several years labor in exchange for their passage to America. John Punch, a runaway indentured servant of African descent, was the first documented slave for life in 1640.
Jamestown - Visit Jamestown Settlement and American Revolution Museum at Yorktown to learn about an African family who lived at Jamestown. An estimated 100,000 African Americans escaped, died or were killed during the American Revolution.
Newport News - The Navy during the Revolutionary War recruited free as well as enslaved African Americans, often purchasing slaves for naval service. See the Age of Exploration Gallery at the Mariners' Museum.
Newport News - The Virginia War Museum features military history from 1775 to the present day. See the Marches Toward Freedom gallery, which explores the roles of African Americans in the military.
Suffolk - Some slaves escaped to the Great Dismal Swamp region of Virginia as early as the 1650s and were known as Maroons.
Williamsburg - During the Revolutionary era, most African Americans lived in the Chesapeake region, about 50-60 percent of the overall population. Visit Colonial Williamsburg and learn about the people who worked on tobacco plantations and large farms at the Slave Quarter at Carter's Grove.
African Slaves Escape to the Heart of Appalachia
As early as the mid-1600s, enslaved Africans escaped their bondage and lived with Native Americans. Their offspring were Melungeons people of Portuguese, Native-American and African ancestry.
Pennington Gap - The Appalachian African-American Cultural Center features historical artifacts from the African-American experience in the Heart of Appalachia region.

Mount Vernon - George Washington's Mount Vernon features Slave Life tours of the Greenhouse slave quarters and the slaves burial grounds. "In his last will and testament, Washington spelled out his directions for freeing the more than 100 enslaved human beings that he personally owned. Much more than just a functional legal instrument, the will served as George Washington's final message to his country."
Tobacco and Iron Work in Central Virginia
Charlottesville - Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, features tours of Mulberry Row, where the slaves lived.

The Best New Feature that You May or May Not be Able to Use
While I was busy making Canadian Lysol commercial history, Adobe released Creative Suite 6, including a major update for my favorite creative software of all time, After Effects. The new version includes some exciting new features:
Variable mask feathering
3D camera tracker
Global Performance Cache (sexier than it sounds)
Rolling Shutter Repair tool
Ray-traced 3D extruded layers
Each of these features is worth its own post, so I'll just pick one to start. The ray-traced 3D renderer is the first major update to AE's 3D capabilities since they were first introduced in 2001–2002. AE was way ahead of most of its competition (except flame, of course) in bringing 3D capabilities to a compositing environment. At the time, adding 3D layers to a dedicated compositor was a somewhat controversial move. But now it's hard to imagine compositing without a 3D environment, and After Effects has been lapped several times by its competition in 3D features. So I'm happy to see true 3D geometry finally spinning in my AE viewport.
I could be happier though. The After Effects 3D renderer is a powerful and feature-rich ray tracer. It supports motion blur, depth-of-field, diffused reflections, and soft shadows, all in 32-bit floating point color. The results can look amazing.
But ray-tracing can be computationally expensive. Adobe decided to accelerate their new renderer using the NVIDIA CUDA technology, where the massive parallel processing capability of a GPU is turned to general computing tasks. And indeed, on a supported system, After Effects CS6 can ray-trace pretty darn fast. The above iPhone animation rendered in 2 hours, 15 minutes on a machine with a $2,000 NVIDIA Tesla C2075 GPU. On a Quadro FX4800, it took 15 hours.
The problem is, I don't don't happen to own one of these supported systems. My MacBook Pro has an NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M, but that's not beefy enough for AE6, so I'm stuck with CPU rendering. And my top-of-the-line, pimped-out iMac has an AMD GPU. So again, no dice. And by no dice, I mean you would not want to try to render something as simple as a pair of dice. On my $3,000 iMac, one frame of the iPhone animation takes 48 minutes.
I don't begrudge Adobe the decision to accelerate the ray-tracer for CUDA, but I do regret the seeming prioritization of that optimization over any kind of CPU usability. If you have a CUDA card, you can use and enjoy the ray tracer. If you don't, you pretty much can't. I mean, sure, you can try, but the render times will very likely dissuade you. This binary hardware differentiation between the ray-tracing haves and have-nots is, to me, unbefitting of After Effects, which has always struck me as the "people's choice" compositor—such a paragon of accessibility that I consider it a must-have tool for the DV Rebel. I expect Autodesk to ship something that requires esoteric hardware, but not Adobe. And yet, at the same time as the CS6 announcement, Autodesk announced a greatly updated Smoke for Mac, one of the primary features being that it works on just about any Apple hardware, including my iMac.
But surely it's impossible that a ray-tracer could ever be as fast on a CPU as on a GPU, right? Maybe—but there are numerous well-established optimizations available to ray-tracers, including sub-sampling (where areas of sparse sampling are interpolated rather then allowed to be noisy), adaptive sampling (where the number of ray samples required for each pixel is adjusted based on scene content), and progressive refinement (where low-quality results are shown to the user rapidly, and then iteratively built-upon for higher quality). The After Effects ray-tracer has none of these. It's a brute-force multi-sample renderer—the kind you'd write if performance in a massively-parallel computing environment (i.e. a specific GPU) was your sole concern. I wish Adobe had put their efforts toward making their renderer as fast as possible for all users.
I know it's fashionable to hate on Adobe, but I have never felt a part of that crowd—probably because the Adobe tools I use, After Effects and Lightroom, are shining beacons of awesomeness within the company. I'm quite the opposite of an Adobe hater. So seeing After Effects sprout a feature we've been anticipating for a decade, only to have it tie users to specific, high-end hardware, feels a bit like seeing a good friend make a bad life decision.
As more and more of us use laptops as our primary machines, and as those laptops are getting smaller and lighter rather than necessarily more powerful, Autodesk is heading in the right direction, and Adobe is not. This, to me, was the big surprise of the post-production announcements at NAB 2012.
Want to know how I rendered these sample movies? I tried doing it on my mini-render farm of CPU-only machines, but it took days (of my laptop being too hot to touch) to produce unacceptable results. Smooth motion blur, fuzzy shadows, diffracted reflections and depth of field require a lot of samples (controlled by the anti-aliasing setting), and if I turned up the quality enough to stop seeing noise (for the iPhone, that was 14), those renders would still be going today. So I sent the project files to a friend with a CUDA GPU. A friend who happens to work at Adobe.
Wouldn't it be amazing if you could do that too?
No, seriously.
Along with CS6, Adobe unveiled Creative Cloud, which includes subscription pricing for the Creative Suite applications. But is that really what After Effects power-users need from "the cloud?" What if that subscription also gave me access to a cloud-based render farm that is constantly Backblaze-syncing with my work directories and is ready to instantaneously render my 1,000-frame animation on 1,000 virtual machines at the push of a button?
Then what if Adobe removed the button?
It used to be my dream that After Effects would speculatively render my work in the background, using every ounce of my computer's processing power. Now I want the same thing, but with Adobe supplying the processors. That would be worth a subscription fee.
The "big iron" days are over. Simplicity is the new powerful. Fast is the new good. The computer is the new hardest working guy in the room. Except it's no longer in the room.
I can't wait for my favorite creative software of all time to realize that.

SEATTLE, W.Va., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Boeing put one of its troubled 787 Dreamliners through a 900-mile test flight over the U.S. West Saturday as it tries to pinpoint a battery fire-hazard problem.
The aircraft took off from Seattle and flew eastward before looping to the south and returning to its starting point more than 2 hours later, The New York Times reported.
It was the first flight of a 787 since the Federal Aviation Administration gave the aircraft manufacturer permission Thursday to conduct in-flight tests, the newspaper noted. The goal is to find out why the new plane's lithium-ion batteries catch fire and come up with a fix.
Boeing spokesman Marc R. Birtel said the crew included 13 pilots and test personnel. Special equipment was used to check status messages involving the batteries and their chargers, and monitor battery temperature and voltage.
Birtel described the flight, which reached 36,000 feet and speeds from 435 to 626 miles per hour, as uneventful.
All of Boeing's 50 operational 787s were grounded after a battery on one caught fire at a Boston airport Jan. 7 and another made an emergency landing in Japan after a battery started smoking.
Birtel said further test flights are expected early this coming week. The Times said battery experts predict it could take weeks for the problem to be solved.

"The Caros have been urban since the 12th century", I protested when my until then fairly reasonable wine-marketer husband declared that he wanted to breed stud cattle. It was a farm he wanted and, thanks to a small inheritance, it was a farm he (and I) got.
We've owned our small property on the edge of Barrington Tops, the only temperate rainforest in the southern hemisphere, for almost 20 years. Rainforests, as the name suggests, are very wet and so generally don't burn. It also gets very cold in winter; it used to snow occasionally, particularly on the Tops, but we haven't seen that in years.
On Saturday, after casting our votes, my daughter and I left the city behind us and headed to the farm. As farmers will know (not that I really lay claim to being a farmer – it was my husband's dream, after all) the weather takes on a new significance when the difference between a good year and a bad year relies on it. And the weather has certainly been behaving very strangely, at least around here.
We still get more or less the same rainfall but it now seems to come down in huge torrents, rather than weeks of slow drizzle, so we get more raging floods and then it stops completely, like it has now. It hasn't rained a drop up here for almost three months and the place is dry – very dry. It's also getting much hotter much earlier. My husband used to complain bitterly that we didn't see even a hint of spring until October at the earliest.
In the last few years, however, the daffodils are finished already and the wisteria is in full bloom – and it's only just September. And as we drove along the narrow dirt road towards our place yesterday, my daughter and I observed something much more sinister. The valley was in flames.
Now don't get me wrong, spring is the traditional time when farmers up here burn to keep down weeds and ticks, so the grass fires we passed didn't worry us unduly at first. Though, as we commented, at 30 degrees (in September!) and with everything so tinder dry, it seemed high risk to do even a controlled burn. Then we got to our own property, and it was on fire too. Which couldn't be a controlled burn because we had not been there to either light it or control it. And, as well as breeding cattle, we grow trees as a commercial plantation – so when we burn, we watch it very carefully.
As a neighbour explained, the fires had been burning for three solid weeks, slowly eating their way up the valley. They hadn't done any real damage, sticking to the undergrowth and not getting into the canopy at all. To be honest, they've probably done us a favour by getting rid of the built up fuel that might be a real danger once summer hits, particularly if it stays this dry. Nevertheless, it spooked us a bit. In 40 years of visiting this valley, we had never seen or heard of such a slow fire, especially in August and September. Nor can anyone remember spring coming quite so early or being quite so hot. In fact, the world has just experienced its 342nd consecutive month of hotter-than-average temperatures.
In the evening as we watched Australia elect a government sworn to repeal the carbon tax, we couldn't help remarking on the irony, particularly as we watched the results come in while listening to the fire in the paddock across the river crackle and burn. As darkness fell, we could see little red pockets of fire scattered amongst the thick woodlands to our north and hear the crash of the occasional burnt out tree as it fell – in early September, on the edge of a temperate rainforest. We may have got a little drunker than we'd intended listening to the fire while watching Australians decide that what we could see, smell and hear either didn't matter or, if it did, wasn't important enough to truly do anything about it.
According to leaked details from the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday, the world's ice sheets are melting rapidly as the planet warms. Greenland's ice added six times more to sea levels in the decade up to 2011 than in the previous 10 years and the Antarctic melt produced a five-fold increase.
But, hey, at least our new prime minister is going to honour all his promises – including repealing the carbon tax, whether its the right thing to do or not.
