Wells Fargo's chip analyst David Wong this afternoon offers up his thoughts on the landscape for application processors in tablet computers, chief among which is that Intel's (INTC) share of tablet processors could rise form perhaps 1% last year to 5% or more in 2013.
Noting the recent announcement Intel will be featured in Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) "Galaxy Tab III" tablet computer, Wong sees further gains for Intel's "Atom" line of processor based on its recently introduced "Silvermont" core, as it closes the gap with processors based on ARM Holdings (ARMH) designs, and possibly even some business with Apple (AAPL):
Drivers of tablet processor growth for Intel include ramping Windows 8 tablet shipments and Intel's entry into Android tablets with its Clover Trail Plus chips. In the longer term, we think that Intel is one of the few merchant chip companies that has an opportunity of gaining incremental revenue associated with Apple's applications processor in iPad. We believe that Intel has a 2+ year manufacturing lead, which could result Apple seriously considering moving its foundry business to Intel or perhaps even using Intel processors in iPad [...] Samsung's most recently launched Android tablet family, the Galaxy Tab 3, uses Intel's Clover Trail Plus chip, Samsung's Exynos processor, a Marvell processor for various SKUs. We think this implies that Samsung's internal evaluation has found that there is good compatibility between Intel's Atom and various ARM based processors for Android applications in general. Another inference is, we think, that at the moment ARM-based processors do not offer any advantage in terms of cost or power consumption compared to Intel x86 Atom processors. Over the next two years, as Intel's accelerates its Atom technology roadmap to take advantage of Intel's technology lead, we think that Atom may emerge with clear performance and/or power consumption advantages over alternative ARM based solutions that cannot tap into Intel's manufacturing.
For Nvidia (NVDA), the company's outlook is a mixed bag, with possible wins as Texas Instruments (TXN) exits the business, but challenges from other vendors in the market for tablets based on Google's (GOOG) Android:
Nvidia has a strong presence in the tablet applications market, being the largest merchant vendor of tablet applications processors (excluding Apple's captive processor position) with a 16% overall unit share in 2012. Nvidia had significant early success in tablets, winning a majority of the early Android and essentially all the initial Windows RT tablet processor sockets. We think that the Android tablet market may have developed to a point at which it could gain some growth momentum. TI is exiting the tablet applications processor market, vacating sockets that remaining players such as Nvidia could win. However, we think it is an open question as to whether the Windows RT tablet market will blossom or fade, and if the Windows RT tablet market fails to develop this would be a headwind to Nvidia's applications processor sales. Within the Android tablet market, it appears that Nvidia may have been displaced at some tablet makers such as Lenovo and Samsung [...] Qualcomm's focus over the last few years has been on creating integrated applications processor/baseband products. This has made smartphones a more natural target for Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor than tablets. Given Qualcomm's relatively small initial presence in Android tablets and lack of significant wins in the first round of Windows RT, additional processor wins in tablets could result in additional revenue and share for Qualcomm.
Intel shares today closed up 13 cents, or half a percent, at $24.

Guinier to speak on racial injustice in America, March 25
Posted March 21, 2003; 12:58 a.m.
Lani Guinier, the Bennet Boskey Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, will present a lecture titled "The Miner's Canary" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 25, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Guinier is the author with Gerald Torres of "The Miner's Canary: Enlisting Race, Resisting Power, Transforming Democracy" (Harvard University Press, 2002). They say issues of race -- like the canaries that alerted miners to a poisonous atmosphere -- point to underlying problems in society that ultimately affect everyone, not just minorities. They present a radical new way to confront race in the 21st century.
Guinier became the first black woman tenured professor in Harvard Law School's history when she was appointed in 1998. Before joining the faculty at Harvard, she was a tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School for 10 years.
She first came to public attention in 1993 when President Bill Clinton nominated her to be the first black woman to head the civil rights division of the Department of Justice. Clinton later withdrew her nomination without a confirmation hearing.
Guinier's lecture will be followed by a book signing at 6 p.m. at the Women's Center, 243 Frist Campus Center.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs , the Women's Center , the Frist Campus Center and the Pace Center for Community Service .

Americans know instinctively that when liberals start talking about deficit reduction that's it's just a case of the fantods, as Huckleberry Finn would say. And say what you will about old Huck, but he knew a couple of frauds when he saw them.
No matter what liberal "Wonks" like Ezra Klein say about the historically dumb healthcare "reform" known as Obamcare, Americans are uneasy about it.
And they should be.
More and more law-abiding Americans say that they have constitutional objections to the healthcare and liberty land grab by the Obama administration.

Our development team was fed up with flooded email tools like Outlook and we wanted something better and organized. Proofhub is a perfect blend of features that every team needs; it adds to our smart work!
Great tool that speeds up our projects We've been using Wrike just for a couple of months, but it's already obvious that our work has become faster and easier. To put it simply, with Wrike we can always keep track of who does what at any given moment on any of our projects. So can our clients: when necessary, we invite them as collaborators, and they can see the project status. As most of our projects have a huge design component , we also love Wrike's capabilities for working with visuals: picture previews in tasks, adding images right in task descriptions and sharing files from Dropbox, which we also use a lot. If you want a flexible, all-in-one project management solution, then Wrike is definitely the way to go.

This particular PM tool can address the problem about the inefficiency of email, and provide an alternative but secure in-browser chat that improves communication. It also has its own proofing tool that expedites feedback and improves productivity, and a file management system that provides the entire history including every side note about a particular document, project, or client. And lastly, it is very easy to use just like email, with all the important data stored in a centralized place that can be accessed wherever and whenever.More about ProofHub

I agree with you all !
For what it's worth KM ,and coming back to your original post. I believe we (uk) do have programs ,but probably better described as a 'Process' or 'Processes' that (we) as trainer/handlers follow,and if each part of the process is not completed then we don't proceed to the next Level.
So there is a Program! and it is usually unilateral following all the basics and yard work that is done on both sides of the pond and beyond!...For those that persue 'competition' This Process/Program takes off in a tangent to suit and follow the rules ,regulations and standards for the competitions We are involved with.
There are some dogs that just don't fit' into (our program/process) in the UK ! That's why there are so many moved on as 'Not suitable for trialling?,So (we) can't say that (we) have the breeding right!
There are also many in the US that are moved in the same fasion ,and that may be due to the 'program' that the dog is on with whatever handler?.
In the 35 years I have been involved with Retrievers ,I know one certain thing ''None of them get up in the morning and decide they are gonna get this drill wrong! and none of them get up in the morning and decide they are gonna get this drill right!''....
Over the last 5-6 years I have learned from friends/colleagues in the US to incorporate many of the practices in Retriever training which has helped me to become a more 'systematic' and precise handler,and I can assure our friends accross the water that there are CC and FF ,and FTP methods used for Retriever training in the UK. (we) just ain't got Swim By yet.Probably because It's not a priority ''Yet''?
KM ,I believe is a positive trainer but not the puritanical version that is normally associated with the term,but Positive in the way that if the dog is already doing what you want 'Then why tell it'. She also operates at the highest level of competition. Now I however have the enviable task of working with all them dogs and owners who get the 'NOT SO GOOD'
Like Chris said/quoted, Yea! , But there is common ground somewhere!? Jeezus! All mine are now cast off with a left hand! and they now do Right and left hand heeling!.....A few handlesrs I seen on the second day at The IGL Championships are doing the same
Now KM , You must come up here to the frozen tundra again,I know you like Scotland,lets do some training on straight line blinds across 5 bodies of water with a few distractions on the way
BTW, These Mericans are not all bad! They just shout alot!
One Shooter One Spaniel One Retriever
Polmaise - will take you up on that!! We'll be up again in 2014, hopefully at Toms. We can compare sendaways then!
Generalities are true, only until they aren't; Had 2 show type labs, fall out of a mini-van and stomp my test. Both with a much drive as any Field stock. I didn't think Tanks could move like that. One passed, One broke on honor, beat the working dog to the bird. I don't blame the working dog; it's pretty intimidating to have a Rhino charging at yah with a bird . Now is this the norm? Perhaps not, but I won't be telling that handler that her dogs are not suited to the task. (crow served and eaten )

Renee, it's true my dog does know that when I say "no" it means I want her to stop doing what she's doing. I've even said it pretty sternly at times when I catch her eating cat poop in the woods. But I've never hit her or paired the word "No" with any physical aversive, chase down or other such threat. There are other dogs at my kennel business who hear my stern "No" and could care less. Some dogs are more sensitive and responsive than others. Some are born to lead and others to follow. My current prospect (Flyer) is super sensitive and responsive. My older washout show golden (Buck) acts deaf if I want to redirect his behavior. Not very sensitive or responsive. I'm not a good enough trainer to make much out of Buck, but I think Flyer is going to help me quite a bit!

N.J. landlords fear Sandy will hurt summer rentals
SEASIDE HEIGHTS — By this point in winter, Sharon Roher would ordinarily be closing in on renting her two Seaside Heights properties for the entire summer.
This year, she has only four weeks booked and is struggling to figure out how many of her customers will return to the Ocean County beach resort, which is among the Jersey Shore towns hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy nearly 21/2 months ago.
Even though Atlantic and Cape May Counties - geographically about half of New Jersey's 127-mile coastline - were left largely unscathed, it's the entire blocks of homes and businesses reduced to rubble in Ocean and Monmouth Counties that are seared into the nation's consciousness.
Sandy's enduring image has been Seaside Heights' roller coaster, which once sat upon a boardwalk made famous by the exploits of Snooki and Pauly D. It remains partially submerged in the Atlantic Ocean.
Those images of devastation, fearful Shore homeowners and businesses say, could ultimately have a negative impact on New Jersey's $38 billion-a-year tourism industry - a trade that depends heavily on the coast for its bottom line.
"The first thought out of everyone's mouth is, 'Are they going to have a summer season?' " Roher told The Philadelphia Inquirer. The 60-year-old lives year-round in Pleasant Valley, Pa.
The answer from municipal officials, businesses, and property owners is loud and clear: Yes, Virginia and Maryland, North Carolina, and Delaware . . . New Jersey will, indeed, have a summer season.
Yes, despite the delay in passage of federal recovery aid and the bevy of beach towns from Delmarva to the Outer Banks that would love to poach - ahem, woo - vacationers with their Southern charms. Marketers in competing coastal states have initiated plans to put the hard sell on target audiences in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
"This is a very critical moment for us in the vacation rental market," said Diane F. Wieland, director of the Cape May County Department of Tourism. "They may not be ready to sign on the dotted line right now, but they are formulating their plans. If we lose the tourists now, they could be gone for good. "
In Cape May County and neighboring Atlantic County, there is a lot to lose.
The region offers visitors the largest number of rental units and rooms - nearly 19,000 in Cape May County alone - along the New Jersey coast. Up and down the Shore, most of the units - single-family houses, duplexes, condos, and apartments - are owned by individuals or mom-and-pop enterprises such as Roher's that depend on the rental income to help pay taxes and defray upkeep.
"It's slower this year. I think people are going to commit later in the season," said Roher, noting that her regulars had been e-mailing and promising to come back.
"They even offered to come down and help out . . . but I haven't had them commit and send deposits," lamented the landlord, whose two Seaside properties, which sit about nine houses from the beach and boardwalk, took on three feet of water during the storm.
On Long Beach Island, which also suffered extensive damage, Realtors predict at least 85 percent of rental properties will be ready by Memorial Day. Still, the storm has delayed bookings.
"We're running about a month behind," said Maggie O'Neill, a sales associate with Mary Allen Realty.
She said that concerns had been raised about the condition of the beaches, which were severely denuded in some areas, and other infrastructure, but that some renters were loyal about where they want to vacation.
"I've heard from many people," O'Neill said. "They want to come back specifically to support us, and that's a good thing."
That may account for the hesitancy among some renters new to Ocean City and points south.
"Everybody has their favorite places they like to go," said William Godfrey, an associate with the Marr Agency in Ocean City. "And everybody wants to know about the damage to the specific home they rent and to the town in general before they commit."
Godfrey said he had been fielding a lot of calls from potential renters who ordinarily go to Long Beach Island, Lavallette, or Belmar who are asking about restaurants, shops, marinas, golfing, and other amenities in Ocean City, which boasts the largest concentration of summer rental units along the entire coast.
Traditionally, many renters simply roll over agreements for properties immediately after their summer vacations end, locking in prices and particular weeks well in advance.
Those in search of another rental may begin as early as late fall.
The real "seek and find" season begins in earnest around Presidents' Day weekend and becomes a do-or-die proposition by Easter, Godfrey said.
He said his rental commitments were running about average for this time of year. And he has seen no change in prices over last year.
In Cape May, however, "it's really different this year," said Dee Lanzalotti, broker/owner of Jersey Cape Realty. Since right after the storm, she said, agents have been fielding inquiries about the region from potential renters in North Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania who used to rent farther up the coast.
Cape May City has about 350 available rentals, so Lanzalotti said her agency had expanded its coverage area this year to include West Cape May, Cape May Point, North Cape May, and other sections of Lower Township to accommodate an expected onslaught.
Allan Deckert, broker and co-owner of Ferguson Deckert Real Estate in Avalon, said his regular customers were concerned about the potential for an inventory shortage as renters from northern locales discover that the properties they had counted on for a specific week this summer might not be ready.
"Reality will start to set in when they realize they need to lock in to something. I'm seeing demand increasing week by week."
Nonetheless, Wieland will exhibit at about 20 travel shows from Pennsylvania to Canada in coming months to spread the word that the Jersey Shore is open for business. She's even invited tourism representatives from Monmouth and Ocean Counties to join her marketing effort at the Philadelphia Flower Show in March.
"After Sandy, there's not a lot of competition among New Jersey Shore towns anymore," Wieland said. "If we lose the tourists, we all lose. We're all in this together."

I've never edited amvs before, so here's my first attempt (it's a lil short, yes xD). It's not perfect, and it didn't turn out as well as I'd expected it to (then again, I'm never 100% satisfied with my work, there's always room for improvements) but I've enjoyed editing it nonetheless and it was overall a nice experiment. Since I've only ever watched amvs, and had never really made any of my own before, I'm not sure of the mistakes I may have made here because I'm starting from scratch.
A special thanks to my lovely Mum for offering me criticism throughout the process of this video, even though she knows close to nothing about editing. xD
Hope you like it!

The code at http://pastie.org/2242460 is in response to a post @ REWARD: PHP code to add and remove name from a text file . This is an old post migrated from another domain as I think it would still be useful to some people.
I'd like to give users the chance to add and remove their names using a sign-me-up HTML form.
So they could "Thomas" to a text file with an HTML input box and then also remove themselves by choosing "remove" with a simple sign-me-up web form.
A bit like subscribing and unsubscribing from a mail list but the removal should search for the exact match in the text file (in upper or lower case) for the name "Thomas" and then say "you're removed" or "you're not on the list".
Is this possible ? A whopping 200 points to the first decent working PHP script (plus 50 points for the best answer).
Thanks very much.

After a failed attempt to donate her children's used Lego toys Hawthorne set out to make something even better, recyclable and totally eco friendly. Hawthorne, who is also a design professor at Stanford University, spent the last couple of years designing the perfect paper building block and has just unveiled the first three kits. Each kit comes in a reusable envelope and contains the flat-packed paper blocks, an instruction poster, decorative stickers and glue tabs.
The blocks are die cut into the paper and are easy to remove before folding and bending in the tabs to form a sturdy and colorful building block. All of the blocks are basic geometric shapes, like cubes, rectangles, pyramids and more, each brightly colored with playful pattern. Right now, Paper Punk has three different kits designed with all the parts to make a puppy, a race car and a robot, but because the blocks are totally interchangeable, the limit is your imagination. Another great part is that at the end of the life of the toy, or if a corner happens to rip, it can be recycled along with your junk mail and paper.


text: My total raised at the end of the "Relay" was $1,892.47 and my team raised altogether $4,523.47. You can still make a donation! Yes, they still take donations for this years walk, the books aren't closed yet. The goal for our event (all teams) was $590,000 and we raised as of the end of the walk, $501,786. That's over a hal a million dollars raised for cancer reasearch, education and many other things!

A quick trip to London and Paris gave us the excuse to write this column, but it is not a true travel article about those capital cities. After all, if you have been there, you are probably already familiar with the great landmarks. If you have never visited, there are many extensive books that can make you feel like a native. So, this column is rather a collection of comments and suggestions about travel from your Energetic Travelers that hopefully will enlighten and entertain you.
First, we do need to mention that London and Paris are all that they were. Native Londoners are among the most polite and civilized people in the world. Paris has its usual collection of Francophiles who don't understand that they have never won a war, although they are two generations past the depressing countenance of Charles de Gaulle.
The buildings in London have suffered from decades and, in some cases, centuries, of accumulated grime, but this year we were shocked — stunned — to see bright and shiny rows of clean apartment and office buildings. Apparently, the Olympics and queen's diamond jubilee did what the liberal or conservative governments failed to do for so long. Paris, of course, had no such celebrations and looks as it has forever, except the tumbrels have been replaced by overflowing garbage cans.
We flew into Heathrow, and we must issue our perennial warning that this airport should be avoided at all costs. If you have any other options, stay away! We arrived from Chicago on United Airlines, which previously had a concourse that required a long walk from the gates to baggage claim. When they needed more gates, United built another edifice that added a further walk from the older terminal.
But the United terminal at Heathrow is not the worst. That honor goes to the brand new Terminal Five, opened last year by British Airways. This sprawling monster is truly ill-conceived and suffers from the usual bad management of Heathrow. Coming and going from this dinosaur is still not the worst experience. That ultimate honor goes to connecting from Terminal Five to any other terminal. Ouch! Or maybe the biggest "ouch" comes from taking the $100 cab ride into central London.
While on the subject of transportation, we took the Eurostar from London to Paris. We were in the Chunnel some years ago and remember it as being more lush, but maybe we were in a better class of service. There are three classes now and prices follow the format of our domestic airlines: The fares depend on time of day and day of the week and fall into three levels. We could not see paying more than the basic fare for the 150-minute ride, which is remarkably smooth without any sense of the high speed.
We had looked forward to seeing the "totally renovated" St. Pancras station in London, which was closed for more than a year to prepare for the transfer of Eurostar to it. This proved to be a major disappointment, and it has all the charm of a commuter station. In summary, Eurostar is absolutely great for travel between downtown London, Brussels and Paris and avoids the annoyance of airports and commuting to the city centers. But it is not much more elegant than traveling coach on our domestic airlines.
One of our biggest surprises was a visit to Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, the quintessential luxury department stores in Paris. Each designer has his or her own boutique, and some are in both stores. Customers would line up outside of a velvet rope at Louis Vuitton and Chanel for up to three hours for the privilege of spending $1,000 to $3,000 on a handbag and then emerge with multiples! Go figure.
We must reissue our usual annual note that "elite status" is good and our admonition to concentrate your flying and credit-card purchases with one of the three major groups. We favor United and the Star Alliance, but American Airlines and Delta are part of similar global organizations. Pick the one that has the most service between your most frequent destinations and build your "bank" of miles and gain status. Yes, "elite" is good, and upgrades to business class are a treat.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
CBF staffers examine oysters being raised on CBF's oyster farm. Photo by CBF Staff
Virginia's oyster restoration staff of three is small in number but mighty in effort, enthusiasm, and effectiveness as they aim to re-establish this keystone species. They work in rivers from the Northern Neck to Virginia Beach and from two facilities: the Virginia Oyster Restoration Center (VAORC) in Gloucester Point along the York River, on property owned by William and Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), and on a small oyster farm a few miles away on Sarah Creek in Gloucester County.
The VAORC offers diverse and unique hands-on opportunities where all types of people—farmers, teachers, students, and decision makers—can learn about Bay ecology. The VAORC and associated programs have planted nearly 40 million oysters across many of Virginia's Bay tributaries with the help of thousands of volunteers. In 2011 over four million spat-on-shell oysters were planted on reefs in the Lafayette and Piankatank Rivers and more than 100 reef balls set with oysters were planted in the Piankatank River for habitat and broodstock enhancement.
The mission of the Virginia Oyster Restoration Center is to:
VAORC maintains four 800-gallon tanks used to grow juvenile oysters, called 'spat.' These setting tanks are loaded with recycled oyster shell, and then filled with Bay water. Oyster larvae, produced by the VIMS Aquaculture Genetics and Breeding Technology Center (ABC), are then released into the tanks. After a few days, these larvae attach, or 'set,' onto the shells, at which point they are called 'spat.' CBF and our volunteers produce millions of spat at VAORC each year, and transplant them onto restored sanctuary reefs throughout the state. Most of the shells used in our spat-on-shell program were reclaimed by through CBF's shell recycling program. Concrete reef balls are also placed in the tanks and coated with spat. These round two-foot by two-foot structures act as an instant oyster reef when deployed in the waters of the Bay.
Located beneath the foot of the Coleman Bridge in Gloucester at VIMS, the VAORC's shell washing station is a crucial step in the shell recycling process. Before old oyster shell can be placed in bags and setting tanks, they must be cured in the sun and then washed individually. Each shell makes its way up a conveyor belt then gets spun and sprayed with water. The process requires many hands and the VAORC staff rely on hard-working volunteers.
VAORC operates a small scale commercial oyster farm to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of oyster aquaculture to watermen and other entrepreneurs. The farm also has two floating "upweller" systems used as nurseries to grow small two-millimeter seed oysters to planting size, approximately 25 millimeters.
CBF's oyster farm is an important tool for educating policy makers, citizens, teachers, and students about oyster biology and restoration. VAORC also hosts several trips to the oyster farm each year for Shenandoah farmers to connect them to the Bay and to demonstrate how agricultural practices impact bay water quality.
VAORC is also the homeport of the innovative oyster restoration vessel Chesapeake Gold. The Chesapeake Gold is used primarily for the farm's aquaculture program and for assisting partners with restoration and research projects. Among the vessel's highlights is its small boom-crane which is used to lift cages on our oyster farm and at our oyster setting sites.

What does the temperature of a compost heap have to do with a baby's sex?
As many gardeners know, a well-tended compost heap generates considerable heat as the mound of organic material decays. Ever wonder who invented this gardener's aid? Well, it just might have been a crocodile!
A female crocodile or alligator doesn't sit on her eggs to keep them warm. She covers them with soil and vegetation, and as this material starts to "compost," the nest mound heats up. But don't think the temperature of an alligator nest is a trivial matter. The nest is made with just the right mixture of mud and vegetation to create a precise range of internal temperatures. Why so specific? Because the sex of hatchling crocs and gators is determined by the temperature within the nest! Eggs incubated at around 89 degrees Fahrenheit produce females, while those at temperatures below 87 degrees produce mainly males. In a well-constructed croc nest the eggs on top will be a few degrees cooler than those closer to the bottom, and -- VOILA! -- when the babies hatch there are usually an equal number of males and females.
This phenomenon (known as temperature-determined sex) is amazing, but it's not unique, also occurring in turtles and lizards. The sex of human babies, however, is not known to be affected by the temperature of their parents' compost heap.

Zach at prairie thunder is a great guy and will bust his but to kill a pile of birds. He consistently pulls 100 bird days!
First, Yes Prairie Thunder will let you hunt with your dog. One of their guys will have one of my stud dogs there all season hunting, but they'll gladly leave theirs at home in order to let you hunt yours.
Second, Habitat Flats is awesome... but definitely pricey. 2-3 times what most guided hunts will cost. Could be worth it to you, though!
Second, Zach isn't guiding with PTO this season, but most of the same guys are involved. Don't get the guy's hopes up with 100 birds in a day, though! We averaged 30 or so, but boy we had a blast. They scout very hard and have all thats necessary to put you on a big spread. I've attached a picture of one of our hunts with them last year, day 1.

The Arctic is in danger. The ice is retreating at an increasing speed, clearing the path for greedy oil companies that see this catastrophe as a business opportunity. We are campaigning to create a global sanctuary in the uninhabited area around the North Pole, keep all oil companies out of the Arctic, and to ban oil drilling and destructive fishing in Arctic waters. Join the movement that is making a difference and show the world that you will stand for the Arctic for as long as it takes.
Climate change and the threats of nuclear energy are real. That is why Greenpeace works to bring about a clean and just energy future. Tar sands and nuclear development plague the ecosystems and communities they occupy with safety and health risks. The Energy [R]evolution is a set of ready-to-implement solutions that lead away from the dangers of climate chaos and nuclear meltdown. It is a vision of the clean and just energy future for everyone on the planet.
With 80 per cent of the planet's ancient forests already lost or degraded, the need for increased protection of the world's remaining forests is more urgent than ever. Forests help stabilize the climate, sustain life, provide jobs, and are the source of culture for many Indigenous communities. Greenpeace opposes destructive and unsustainable development in the remaining ancient forests in Canada and globally. To effect positive change and put lasting solutions in place, we challenge the global marketplace, engage consumers, pressure governments and work with industry to protect the Boreal Forest, the Great Bear Rainforest and the Indonesian Rainforest.
Life on our blue planet depends on healthy oceans, but recent reports warn that sea life faces the next mass extinction. Next to climate change, overfishing is the single greatest threat to marine biodiversity. Industrial fishing has reduced populations of large, predatory fish like tuna, cod and sharks by about ninety per cent in the last fifty years. Growing demand for seafood, wasteful fishing practices and mismanaged fish stocks and aquaculture operations are leading to broken links in marine food chains in Canadian waters and worldwide. Urgent action is needed to protect marine life and allow recovery. Greenpeace works to relieve pressure on ocean ecosystems and to establish a network of no-take marine reserves–ocean parks–covering 40 per cent of the world's oceans.

Synopsis of Interview:
Esther Rocha was born in El Paso, Texas, on August 7, 1920. Her family moved to the West Side of Kansas City, Missouri, when she was less than a year old. Her parents, now deceased, were Maria Delgado de Rocha and Elpidio Rocha. She is one of ten children although two are deceased.
Her parents were migrant workers. They came to Kansas City because they heard through acquaintances there was work here. Her parents first settled around 19th and Holmes. She recalls a McClure Street. Local government decided Mexicans should live on the West Side so the family moved. Her parents recognized discrimination, but neither denied it nor stressed it in rearing children.
The neighborhood was a happy place. Everyone was Mexican. There were Mexican tailors, a banker, cleaners, theatre, etc. Twenty-third Street was unpaved. She recalls a cohesive family feeling. The Salvation Army trucks came daily, and her parents did not allow the children to go beyond the boundaries of the neighborhood. Her father worked in packing houses or on railroads. He sought jobs which paid more. He lost a job when he was injured and returned to the beet fields for two years. There was no job security.
She recalls unscrupulous insurance salespeople from the Ketterlin Funeral Home. She attended Adams School on Mercier Street (it was originally named Mercier Street School) which was ninety percent Mexican by 1928. It was an unhappy experience--she was punished for speaking Spanish. The Mexican children were assigned to the ''open air'' concept at school because they were thought to be malnourished. She was pulled out of classes to be fed and to take naps. She missed important classes. The school closed in 1941 and she transferred to Lowell School. Her father attended night classes and met Edith Martin, who was active in stopping the ''open air'' program. She attended West Junior High. There were few Mexicans there.
Because homes on the West Side had no indoor plumbing, the family walked to a bathhouse at 19th and Holmes. Mexicans were not allowed in the closer one at 16th and Jarboe. The neighborhood at that time was 23rd to 25th streets and State Line to Summit. Her brothers got into gang fights with rocks and chains against Anglo boys living north of 23rd Street. She attended West High which was a more positive experience. She then went to Jane Hayes Gates, a technical school for girls on Independence Avenue and graduated in 1940 from Manual, a vocational high school on 15th and Forest.
The family attended Guadalupe Church. Her brother struck a deal with the local fruit and vegetable huckster to sell his leftover goods in exchange for keeping the spoiled fruits and vegetables. The parents motivated the other chidren to do similar things to benefit the whole family. Before Guadalupe Center was built, three white houses stood on the site. The center is still occasionally called ''Las Casas Blancas.'' She joined a baseball team, attended Salvation Army day camp with her mother and siblings, and became a member of the ''Swingsters,'' a social club which held meetings, dances, and picnics.
The Martins were very influential in helping area families. They were critical of the Guadalupe Center and Dorothy Gallagher, the woman who ran it. She remembers Mexican-American youths who lived at the center while attending Rockhurst College on scholarships. However, no local boys were ever notified when scholarships were available. Also girls were sent, through the center, to homes in the Country Club Plaza area to train as maids. Girls did the work without pay but found later that maid jobs were open only to Blacks.
Three brothers served in WWII. A sister worked in a defense plant. Miss Rocha was unable to get a defense plant job because her birth had not been recorded, thus she was unable to prove citizenship. She finally received a birth certificate after her parents died. She worked briefly at Swanson's (then on Grand Avenue) as a maid, then at the Continential linen room repairing linens. She worked 20 years in clothing factories. She began doing social work at Catholic Charities. She worked at Catholic Charities for six years. She began by volunteering to translate for a social worker friend. Eventually she got on as a paid staff member.
She found discrimination and low pay because she had no degree. Miss Rocha returned to school to work towards a college degree. She took 16 courses at Donnelly College and then attended Penn Valley. She resigned from her job with Catholic Charities because of the low pay. After much effort and persistence, she was hired by the Model Cities program and has been working since then for city government. She received an associate's degree from Penn Valley. She received a BSW from Avila College and would like to retire early and enjoy life before she becomes too old.

JACKSON — Mississippi schools, universities, mental health programs and prisons will receive slightly more money in the coming year, under a $5.5 billion budget that leading lawmakers finished writing Saturday.
State employees won't be receiving across-the-board pay raises during fiscal 2014, which begins July 1. But workers won't have to pay any extra money toward their own pensions because the state is pumping more money into the Public Employees Retirement System.
There are more than 100 budget bills, and each must be approved by a majority of the House and Senate. Both chambers return to the Capitol on Sunday, and they're expected to meet a Monday deadline to send the budget to Republican Gov. Phil Bryant.
The Appropriations Committee chairmen — Republican Herb Frierson of Poplarville from the House and Republican Eugene "Buck" Clarke of Hollandale from the Senate — worked quietly Saturday at a big, round table in a section of House offices that are off-limits for most members of the public. They scratched through some numbers and added others as people from a few agencies made last-minute requests to shuffle money from one budget category to another.
The chairmen said their job was made slightly easier by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee's recent decision to add $97 million to the total amount of money the state is expected to collect during fiscal 2014. Experts recommended the increase, based on an uptick in the state economy.
Frierson said the $97 million disappeared quickly.
"It just went 'poof,'" Frierson said with a laugh. "It was like you piled it up on that table and turned a big fan on. It went all through government."
Clarke said many agencies are losing vacant positions, which saves money in the budget. Even if a job is not filled for months, budget writers have to set aside money so the person who is eventually hired can be paid.
Lawmakers are putting more money into elementary and secondary education than in the current year, but they're still not fully funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, a complex formula designed to give schools enough money to meet midlevel academic standards. About $27 million of the increase for K-12 is to cover teachers' portion of the retirement fund. And $23 million is divided among a limited pre-kindergarten program, an early elementary program designed to ensure children are reading proficiently by the end of third grade and grants to help schools hire armed officers.
Nancy Loome of the Parents Campaign, a group that lobbies for public schools' funding, said money for MAEP will be about $292 million short of the formula, just as it was during fiscal 2013.
The university system is receiving about $14 million more than it's getting this year. Community colleges are getting about $8 million more for workforce training.
The Department of Corrections had requested an additional $29 million to get through fiscal 2013, which ends June 30. Budget writers said the agency later trimmed its request to $23 million, and that gap was filled during final budget negotiations. Another $23 million also was put into the prison system for fiscal 2014.
Lawmakers directed an additional $10 million into community-based mental health services as part of an effort to head off a possible lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice, Clarke said. Plans call for $10 million in annual growth in mental health services over each of the next three years, or $40 million total over four years.

I can't believe people are still trying this ****.
P.T. Barnum had it right.
I got this e-mail today.
This is to your Attention:
This message is coming from the senate president of the federal republic of Nigeria, after the meeting held with the new president of the federal republic of Nigeria DR. Jonathan Good luck, regarding all foreign payments, both in Nigeria and outside country. As the senate president, I been� mandated to handle all the foreign payments.
However, we have got alot of reports about your payment which you have been pursuing for so many years now, but to no avail, we knew that alot of people have used the name of the top officials of the Nigeria government to defraud you, also so many people have claimed to be managers of different banks here in Nigeria to swindle money from you.
All these we are very much aware of and we are working seriously to put a stop to all this mess, as the senate president, I have set security everywhere regarding payment in Nigeria and I have decided to bring all foreign payments both inheritance payment and contract payment to my desk so that I will take a good look at all this payment problems. I am cognizance of the fact that you have lost a lot of money in the past in pursuance of your payment.
Note that we have stopped all foreign payments from any banks here in Nigeria, we have decided to carry out payment with one bank which we have scrutinized the activities of the bank and have gaven them the right to effect foreign payment. We kept a close watch to the bank but we know that they will transfer your fund legally to your account. Also we have made a perfect arrangement with our payment centre in Europe for same purpose.
Have it in mind that the total sum of your fund we saw from the original payment file is 23.8 million dollars, we assure you that you are going to receive this payment, do your self a good thing by responding back to this message, this is a message that will give you a good life also to� start a new beginning, all this ordeal you have gone through will� come to an end, if only you can believe, note that he that laugh last laugh best.
Finally, do not disclose this payment to anybody, because we are very much aware that you have been dealing with unscrupulous elements for a long time, we do not want them to have any idea of this payment method, to avoid hackers getting information of this payment.
Do reconfirm your information to me.

I wonder if anyone replied to what I last wrote about Advogato diaries and LiveJournal? I didn't come back in time to check everyone's diaries and find out, so I don't know. If you replied, can you mail me and let me know?
Needless to say, I don't have this problem with LiveJournal, because replies are attached to the comment they reply to and I receive email alerts about them.
Bayes and scoring
raph discusses Paul Graham's plan to use Bayesian statistics to defeat spam and points out that his combiner is isomorphic to a linear one. It turns out that Graham's combiner assumes that the a priori probability that a mail is spam is 0.5, which isn't right, but you can easily fix the problem without sacrificing linearity.
For those who like me were confused by what "a probability of 0.99 spam" means, it means Pr(S|A) where S is the event "the mail is spam" and A is the event "the mail contains the word viagra". The extent to which A and B together indicate that the mail is spam is given by
Pr(S|A and B) = (a o b) = ab/(ab + (1-a)(1-b)) (where a = Pr(S|A))
but this formula is only correct if you assume that
Pr(S) = Pr(not S) = 0.5
and that the events are independent apart from their dependence on whether or not it's spam:
Pr(A and B|S) = Pr(A|S) Pr(B|S)
Pr(A and B|not S) = Pr(A|not S) Pr(B|not S)
Assuming that the events are independent is fundamental to the whole approach, but assuming Pr(S) = 0.5 seems to me like a mistake. Interestingly, though, if my math is right then the correct combiner for arbitrary a priori Pr(S) = s is (a o_s b) = (a o b o (1-s)) (do the math, or mail me and ask me to post it here). Thus if you define f(x) = log(x) - log(1-x) as before so that f(a o b) = f(a) + f(b), then you can define
f_s(x) = f(x) - f(s)
and you find
f_s(a o_s b) = f(a o b o (1-s)) - f(s)
= f(a) + f(b) + f(1 - s) - f(s)
= f(a) + f(b) - f(s) - f(s)
= f_s(a) + f_s(b)
This makes sense if you think about it: if a = s, then Pr(S|A) = Pr(S) so A tells you nothing about whether or not it's spam, and f_s(a) = f(s) - f(s) = 0 so it contributes nothing to the score either way.
So you don't need to assume that the a priori probability of spam is 0.5 to make raph's linear approach work.

Do you add salt to the food on your plate? Even if you don't add extra salt from a shaker, many of the foods you eat probably contain plenty of salt.
News You Can Use
- Most of the salt in food, as well as the salt in a shaker, is sodium chloride. Sodium chloride isan ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl. Processed foods contain a lot of salt and therefore a lot of sodium (Na). As a result, many people consume too much of this alkali Earth metal.
- High-sodium diets have been linked to high blood pressure. High blood pressure, in turn, increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure. Reducing sodium intake may help prevent these health problems.

- What are some examples of high-sodium processed foods?
- What role does the sodium-potassium ratio (Na/K) play in good health?
- What foods are naturally high in potassium (K)?
- Sodium chloride is just one of many possible salts. What are salts? How does asalt form? (Hint: An acid and a base are involved, and a salt is neutral in pH.)
- Potassium chloride has the chemical formula KCl. It is a salt that is used as a substitute for NaCl in order to reduce sodium intake. Both salts are composed of metal and halogen ions. Would you expect potassium to have properties similar to those of sodium? Why or why not?
- Compare and contrast NaCl and KCl as food additives. For example, how do they taste and how good are they for cooking?

At the beggining of the year I made a list of all the movies I was going to see this year, these where the ones I could think of.
1.Star Wars: Episode II- Attack Of The Clones (I think I might drop by and see this if I get a bit of spare time!)
2.Vanilla Sky
3.Monsters inc. (I know it came out in 2001 in the U.S, but it has only just come out over here)
4.Austin Powers: Goldmember
5.Men In Black II
6.The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (I think it's out this year)

Renegade Chef: We need comfort in 2013
We are survivors.
The end of the world — a rather hybrid hypothesis born from the minds of ancient Mayans, Nostradamus, Leonardo da Vinci and the History Channel — has come and gone.
Some of us may be disappointed.
After all, we are facing a "fiscal cliff" (as of this writing), unemployment is still rampant and the recession can't decide whether to depress or progress.
North Korea and Iran want to blow someone up and they don't like us, in particular.
The Mideast could solve all of its problems by joining the NFL, but they don't want to deal with all the concussion issues.
To top it all off, crazy people are shooting our kids.
I think we should breathe in the new year easily, yet reflectively — a long, deep breath. Look into the faces around us and smile at them as if they are friends, even if we don't know them.
Buy a stranger a drink and be thankful for the same.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
2012 was a very tough year. I hope things get better in 2013.
The following "comfort-food" recipes are designed to do just that — comfort, nourish and please.

Slaughter is being honored for his accomplishments as an educator, national policy leader and engineer, and for his commitment to diversity. He will also be recognized for his role in the collaboration between the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science and the National Science Foundation funded Alliance for Graduate Education Professorate program (AGEP) in the Graduate School.
Slaughter has a long and distinguished background as a leader in the education, engineering and scientific communities. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an inductee into the American Society for Engineering Education Hall of Fame. He serves on the board of directors of IBM, Northrop Grumman and Solutia, Inc.
Slaughter earned his PhD in engineering science from the University of California, San Diego, after receiving his master's from UCLA, and his BS in electrical engineering from Kansas State University. He began his professional career as an engineer for General Dynamics Corp. and later joined the Naval Electronics Laboratory Center.
In 1975, he was named director of the applied physics lab at the University of Washington, before serving as assistant director for the NSF from 1977 to 1979. He returned to the University of Washington as academic vice president and provost before being appointed as director of the NSF by President Reagan in 1980.
After two years he was named chancellor at the University of Maryland-College Park before being named president of Occidental College, Los Angeles. He held that position from 1988 through 1999 and now serves as president emeritus. He took over leadership of the NACME in June 2000 and also serves as the Melbo Professor of Leadership in Education at UCLA.
He holds honorary degrees from more than 20 institutions and numerous awards, including the first U.S. Black Engineer of the Year award (1987), the Martin Luther King Jr. National Award (1997) and the Executive Leadership Council Heritage Award (2001).

GU Women fall to 7th ranked Louisville
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - A scoring drought in the final eight minutes doomed the Gonzaga University women's basketball team in a battle against the University of Louisville Wednesday. The Cardinals, currently ranked sixth in the nation in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Top 25 polls, defeated Gonzaga 55-42 in the semifinal of the Hardwood Tournament of Hope in Puerto Vallarta.
It was close and intense game until Gonzaga went cold after the 8:12 mark of the second half. Gonzaga (5-1) had fought to get within four points of Louisville (5-0) at 44-40 after a jumper by senior Taelor Karr but wouldn't put the ball through the net until the game was out of reach and sophomore Danielle Walter made a layup as the buzzer blew.
In the unfortunate scoring drought Gonzaga went 0-of-7 from the field and turned the ball over four times.
Prior to the scoring drought the Bulldogs were playing neck and neck with the Cardinals and they did it without their two leading scorers, in junior Haiden Palmer and sophomore Keani Albanez, who struggled to find any offense.
It was the Zags defense that once again stifled its opponent and the post play shined in the absence of scoring from Palmer and Albanez.
The post play in the early minutes of the first half kept the Bulldogs in the game. Of the 21 first half points scored by the Bulldogs, 12 came from the post players.
Junior center Stephanie Golden scored six of the Zags first eight points and redshirt freshman center Shelby Cheslek tallied the next three to put Louisville's lead at just 15-13 with 11:43 to play.
Karr finally got into the action draining a 3-pointer to get Gonzaga within one of the Cardinals at 17-16 but Louisville responded with a 3-pointer of their own, this one by Megan Deines.
The Cardinals closed out the half on a 9-4 run to capture an eight-point halftime advantage at 29-21; their then largest lead of the contest.
Gonzaga forced 14 turnovers in the first 20 minutes and scored 11 points off those miscues.
The Bulldogs rallied minutes into the second half using a 7-0 spurt to slice the Cardinals edge to just one at 29-28. Junior guard Jazmine Redmon started things off for GU nailing a 3-pointer – the Zags second of the contest – followed by back-to-back jumpers by sophomore Sunny Greinacher.
An 8-0 run by Louisville, which included back-to-back 3-pointers by Deines, gave the Cardinals a nine-point advantage but Gonzaga was not deterred. GU strung together a 12-6 spurt to get within that fateful four points of Louisville at 44-40. It was the play of Meghan Winters that ignited to feverish comeback as she came off the bench to drain two 3-pointers.
It was then Shoni Schimmel and Monique Reid that put the seal on the Cardinals victory. Schimmel scored eight points in the final push, while Reid tallied two big layups.
Schimmel, the leading scorer for Louisville who was held to three points in the first half, finished with a game-high 16.
Karr led Gonzaga with nine points and Golden chipped in eight.
Palmer and Albanez, who combined for 35 points against Missouri State Friday, were each held scoreless. As a team, Gonzaga was held to 30.2 percent shooting (16-of-53).
Gonzaga now plays Winthrop University in the consolation game of the tournament Thursday. Game time is set for 4 p.m. PT

Now I think I'll go grab some Mexican food for an early dinner.
I decided to do the eat-a-late-lunch-but-early-dinner-at-a-buffet yesterday, and it was true to form. So full (left around 3pm) that I put no other food items into my system until this morning. What was my menu?
- steamed rice (3 helpings)
- Spanish rice (2 helpings)
- mashed potatoes (2 helpings, one with chicken gravy)
- carrots
- corn & carrots
- green beans
- wedge cut fries (2 helpings)
- orange chicken
- fried chicken
- fried fish (good breading, and it was real fish)
- enchilada (got punked when someone cut in front of the line to snag the last one, or I'd have had 2 helpings )
- BBQ sausage (this one was good... and they never replenished it )
- BBQ riblets (too over-done)
- chocolate pudding (sugar free, but with chocolate syrup and morsels )
- pink lemonade
- Sprite

I had a can of Progresso Chicken and Herb Dumpling soup for lunch.
Drove by Carl's Jr today, they smelled SOOOOOOO good that I dropped my other plans and parked. Got me 2 Famous Stars for $3, one with extra sauce and no mayo, the other with santa fe sauce and no red sauce (they forgot the part where I asked for no mayo, but I'll forgive). I had the santa fe one first, the meat was so perfect, just a little burned so that flavor got into the lettuce and sauces, and I was worried the santa fe without the cheese and ortega chille wouldn't work but it did so very well. Then I was worried the regular one wouldn't be as good because it couldn't live up to the custom one, but it worked perfectly too, so awesome. Now I don't want to eat again for fear of ruining the aftertaste of that meal.

I'm not actually sure today.
It's 4:45 ish here and I finally got lunch a few minutes ago. Since I only have coffee for breakfast, I was getting fairly hungry. I had a Roasted Chicken sub on Honey oat bread from subway and I think I ate the entire thing in about 5 bites.
If I were Kris Kristofferson, I would forego food altogether and have seven beautiful women during the time most people eat lunch.

DONNA SUMMER!! I loved her ever since I was a kid. Genre be damned, her voice was amazing.
Donna Summer dead at 63
May 17, 2012, 2:52 PM EST
By Brent Lang
Legendary disco diva Donna Summer has died, a spokesman confirmed to TheWrap.
The "Hot Stuff" and "Last Dance" singer was 63.
No cause of death was given, but TMZ reports Summer had been battling cancer.
In a statement, Summer's family praise the singer's religious faith.
"While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy," the statement reads. "Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time."
Summer's soaring mezzo-soprano voice and catchy lyrics provided the soundtrack to the 1970s, making it nearly impossible to think of many of that decade's cultural touchstones, be they bellbottoms or disco balls, without calling to mind her hit singles.
Among the hits that helped cement Summer's legacy were "She Works Hard for the Money," "Bad Girls," and "Dim All the Lights." She would earn 5 Grammy awards and 17 nominations over the course of her career.
Though Summer and disco were nearly interchangeable, she proved herself to be a musical chameleon; one who survived the end of the Studio 54 era and continued to produce chart-topping songs into the 1980s and beyond.
Among the genres that Summer branched into were new wave, with her 1980 album "The Wanderer"; swing on her poorly selling 1991 album "Mistaken Identity"; and gospel with her 1994 holiday album "Christmas Spirit."
You can add another disco legend to the list, Robin Gibb co-founder of the Bee Gees, died today at the age of 62.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
