2001/01/27 =========================================================== 0530 Woke up. Decided that this is 0730 NYC time, so it must be time to get up ;-) Checked mail. Went back to restructuring/enhancing the the test code. Still having occasional problems with python naming and modules, but now think I have a good strategy worked out for using it. Looks like the latest iteration of restructuring is now working. Guess I'd better go off and figure out what to do next. 0800 Enough for now. I made some pretty good progress on a couple of fronts.
1055 Joined Joe Barr on his recording bridge. He had 10 questions to ask, and I answered them as best I could. He's now interested in HA things and may write an article on it. He'll likely give me another call if he decides to do so. Interview got over at about 1130. I think he got the sound bites he was looking for.
1240 Looks like the test scripts show some failures. Looking at the logs the heartbeat code is working right, but the test code doesn't think it is. The case is the "restart" test when only one machine is up looks for the pattern for "remote machine has joined" when it should be looking for the pattern "local machine has joined" instead. Don't know why yet. 1315 Gotta go to Castle Rock and then going-away party for my cousin :-( Bye.
2001/01/26 ================================================================= 0640 Really tired this morning. Guess I'm getting too old to get less than 6 hours sleep too often. Laura is feeling a little better this morning, so she went to school today.
Surprisingly, no reply from Lars on the CTS code. Ahhh... It just came in, in 2 parts. I responded to one of them. Decided to clean up my Trash folder, as it has over 10K unread messages in it. I'll get rid of all Trash from last year. Good to take out the trash once a year whether it needs it or not ;-)
0800 Need to get dressed, etc. 0825 Back to work. I need to look over the current copy of "Enterprise Linux" it has a pretty cool cover article about the Weather Channel. Didn't actually read the article yet. Responded to Lars' comments. 0940 Finished responding to Lars' comments about CTS. Started implementing some of them. Splitting into multiple files, separating out the audit class. 1030 I'm exhausted and have a headache. Time to take a decongestant, a break and maybe a nap. Maybe I need to eat something? I see that we've done 602 iterations of the heartbeat code without any errors. This time I'm including the Stonith test in my set of tests to run (it slows things down a lot).
1055 Back to the salt mines :-) I feel a bit better. I see we're up to 655 iterations. I wrote the Audit class. I guess I'll stop the ongoing tests on 'servidor' and actually try the restructured code and see if it works, as opposed to "just compiles"
1145 Headache is back. Time for something stronger... Time for lunch... Went to lunch. Received a few boxes full of hardware for installing the network. Spent about 45 minutes checking the stuff out, making sure it was all there etc. Laura came home sick and exhausted, took her to Lunch, since she hadn't eaten. Still don't feel right. Took a half-hour nap. Spent a half-hour or so helping Amy get xawtv working on her PC, without much success. Having trouble importing some Python classes. Learning curve, I guess... (could it be a Python bug?)
Got email from Paddy about possible FailSafe meeting times. Replied, told him to avoid the CLIQ, 'cause I'm running a BOF (and representing SuSE?) there. Got email from Mia with corrected arrival date for hotel.
1740 Time to call it quits for a while and get Laura (and me) dinner. 2000 Called Joe Barr, and set up the appointment for the interview tomorrow at 11 AM. He seems like a really nice guy. I'm now writing the code for the CtsLab class. 2120 Tired. Going to bed. But, I feel better than I did earlier today.
2001/01/25 ================================================================= 0525 Started work. This will be an odd day. Thursdays always are. Today a little more so than normal.
I see the overnight run I made crapped out after about 15 minutes because I had too many open files. Hmmm... Never saw that before... Not surprisingly, it was in the new AuditResources code... It was doing a popen for determining if the other node is up. I'm not waiting for the child process to finish before going on. I'll see if waiting for it to finish helps... I see it's gone 130 iterations this time. Before it only went 60. That's a good sign. Looks like that fixed it. It's been > 300 iterations.
I got email from lars about the CTS. I've been responding to it. He has some good comments.
0615 Need to get dressed to take Kathy to school so I can have a car today. My wife is sick, my mother-in-law has an infection from her surgery and my father-in-law and I both have doctors' appointments today...
0700 Back to work...
I'm continuing to respond to Lars' email. He made a couple of good points, and some I don't care about. Completing my reply took exactly an hour. We're now up to 580 successful test iterations.
3-4 people subscribed to the linux-ha-dev list today. Replying to them took until 0920 or so. More email, more travel planning...
1025 Time to go to Doctor's appt.
Went to Doctor's, did about 15 mins of coding, went to lunch with a good friend who needed some time to talk. Got done about 1400. Picked up Kathy from school at about 1440
1500 Started back to work. Lots of email arrived while I was gone. They changed my hotel reservation, so I have to print off new stuff to carry with me and tell Wombat new hotel name.
Included in the email was a VIRUS ALERT, TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS! ;-)
Apparently disconnecting my laptop stopped the tests running. I had about 1100 iterations at that point.
Got an subscription email from a commercial HA firm. I sent them the same "welcome to the list, what brings you here?" note I send everyone. It'll be interesting to hear what they say.
1645 Need to go make preparations for dinner, etc. Laura stayed in bed all day. No word from my in-laws yet on how they did.
2330 Decided to check mail and read about the worm. Took about an hour. I see the tests I had started finished just fine. G'night.
2001/01/24 =================================================================
I started work this morning about 7:15.
I spent the first two hours this morning dealing with email and talking to Lars on IRC. He now knows my situation and a bit more about the priorities in SuSE, Inc. I agreed to write up a few paragraphs on the Cluster Test System (CTS) for him.
I made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow morning so I can get some prescriptions refilled before taking off to NYC. (about 15 mins)
I spent about an hour or so writing up the CTS for Lars.
I spent about 15 minutes explaining to MilesTek about the troubles I had ordering equipment from their web site. I scanned in some pages and emailed them out. Sigh...
Responded to some email from MC Linux about Stonith. They're considering adopting it, and had a few questions about the expect() function in it. My reply seemed to satisfy them. Guess that's good.
Took off for lunch at 12:17 PM, returned as 14:10. Had to make a trip by the house and pick up Laura from work.
Set up an appointment with horms for Wednesday dinner.
I wrote the code to tell if some, all or none of the resources in a group are held by the current node. Probably even works ;-)
Doing conference paperwork: Scheduling things, getting the current schedule for the conference room, etc. This will probably take me an hour to do. Meeting with Horms (VA Linux), Ben Rafanello (IBM), Wombat (Peter Badovinatz @ IBM), Thomas Schaffner (Enterprise Linux), Mike McQuaid (Winchester Systems). I also talked to Jon Doyle for a half-hour or so somewhere in here.
Sent some email about the heartbeat API to Ericcson in Montreal. Took about 15 minutes to write.
1645 quitting work for a while (Dogs are going nuts, and wife is sick). 2112 back for a bit. Gonna work on the resource stability thing... Finally backed up the laptop ;-) 2200 Going to bed. Got the new cts.py code working including polling for resources to become acquired.
2001/01/23 =================================================================
I started work this morning about 7:30. I took about a half-hour off for lunch. I stopped around 4:45 or so and put in a half hour or so later in the evening to catch up on email, etc.
More updates to the test suite. Basic Resource Auditing works! It's now in CVS too.
Need to get the CTS harness to not audit resources too soon. It looks like the IP addresses aren't getting set up as fast as the auditing is taking place.
Further examination seems to bear this out, but the heartbeat code doesn't give any particular message when the transition takeover scripts have completed. I put in a little code to loop for a while re-auditing things until they get better. They always seem to get better at least ;-)
There are at least four possible cases: A machine went down: It held resources - we will take them over It didn't hold resources - we won't take them over A machine came up It will request resources (only machine, not nicefailback) It won't request resources: it has none, or nicefailback
Or maybe it's simpler than that? A machine came up - resource acquisition prints completion msg in all cases A machine went down - takeover code prints msg when done in all cases
What this really is is looking for the completion of a transition. Right now the code doesn't really know when the resources have been fully acquired locally. This is not a good thing.
I suppose what I need is a message whenever it completes acquisition of a set of resources, or when it decides it's not going to.
I put in some new messages that indicate when acquisition of resources completes when done by heartbeat, but not for system failover takeovers. Those will have to go in the mach_down script or something like that. I'll try and get that later tonight. My goal for tonight is to fix this resource auditing problem.
It appears that this will require a new script which synchronously waits for resources to become served. It would be called by mach_down. Or, I suppose that mach_down could just do this itself, but this all sounds really hard, because of the messaging model used by the scripts. Maybe I could use a directory in "/var/lib/heartbeat" to keep track of what resources have been acquired. Or, I suppose I could poll to wait for them to be taken over... Yuck... Could be worse, I guess... Either way I think I get to poll...
I guess I'll just change mach_down to poll for the resources that we are still waiting to acquire rather than add new scripts. This is best done by enhancing ResourceManager to have a groupstat command or something like that, then mach_down can use that without duplicating a lot of code.
This item (the test harness) took by far the majority of my time. I suppose about 60-70%
Dropped Lars an email telling him about the updates to the test suite. Emailed some guy in France about publishing a Stonith paper for an IEEE journal.
Updated the HA web site with several minor things including stuff for Kimberlite, and the Open Cluster group (OSCAR).
Talked for a half-hour or so to Winchester Systems about getting an eval unit of their multi-interface RAID box. Made an appointment to talk at NYC.
Minor updates to the HA thoughts doc about various concerns.
I'm worried about Samba failover, and I'm worried about NFS failover. Jeremy Allison thinks Samba failover is hard, but it may be mainly an app thing. MC Linux has done the NFS failover and thinks it's hard. This may be partly smoke screen. Maybe we can get by without lock failover?
Started this Journal.
Emailed Ibrahim the suggested new paragraph for the Linux Journal.
2001/01/22 =================================================================
Spent several hours struggling with fetchmail problems. Finally got it working again with help from Chris Mahmood. Oakland had changed a bunch of things and they didn't take effect until a reboot happened over the weekend. Wrote a bunch of code associated with resource auditing for the test suite. This includes the modification of the ClusterManager class and the creation of the new Resource Class. Committed the changes to CVS. Wrote the "HA Thoughts" document for where we're going with HA in SuSE. Spent a bunch of time trying to figure out what the Baytech is doing. It seems to pause for a second every 3-4 seconds, but respond OK otherwise, But more ominously it seems to give connection refused for a second or two every so often at seemingly random times.
Over lunch tried to call WebGear. They seem to be out of business!
Updated the HA thoughts doc.

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:21 PM GMT on March 01, 2010
Devastating Winter Storm Xynthia ripped a swath of destruction through Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, and Germany over the weekend, killing at least 62 people. It was Europe's 5th deadliest winter storm of the past 60 years. Hardest hit was France, where at least 51 died. The storm also caused six deaths in Germany, including a 2-year-old boy blown into a river and drowned. Three people were dead in Spain, and Belgium, Portugal, and England had one fatality each. At least ten people are still missing. Most of the deaths in France occurred when a powerful storm surge topped by battering waves up to 25 feet high, hitting at high tide, smashed though the sea wall off the coastal town of L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer. A mobile home park built close to the sea wall was particularly hard-hit. The sea wall was several hundred years old, built in the time of Napoleon, and locating a mobile home park so close to it showed poor coastal development practices, critics said. The storm cut power to more than 1 million homes in France, and up to 1 million customers in Portugal also lost power. A few wind peak wind gusts measured during the storm:
Pampilhosa da Serra 147 km/h (91 mph)
Penhas Douradas 126.1 km/h (78 mph)
Porto (Airport LPPR) 113km/h (70 mph)
Lardeira: 196.1 km/h (122 mph)
Serra do Eixe: 157 km/h (98 mph)
Campus de Vigo: 146.9 km/h (92 mph)
Gandara: 145.8 km/h (91 mph)
Eiffel Tower, Paris: 175 km/h (106 mph)
Saint-Clement of the Whales: 159km/h (99 mph)
Charente-Maritime: 161km/h (100 mph)
A Personal Weather Station in Les Portes-en-Re recorded sustained winds of 143 km/h (89 mph) gusting to 180 km/h (112 mph) before losing power at the height of the storm. According to Meteo France, the maximum recorded gust from Xynthia for elevations lower than 1200m was 160 km/h along the coast and 120 km/h inland. In 1999, Winter Storm Lothar brought gusts of almost 200 km/h to coastal areas and up to 160 km/h in the interior at these lower elevations.
Figure 1. Six-hour animation of the surface winds as Winter Storm Xynthia crossed the Bay of Biscay and smashed into France.
Destructive European storms of the past 60 years:
2010: Winter Storm Xynthia of February 27, 2010 killed 51 people in France, Spain, and neighboring countries, and did $2 - $4 billion in damage. Lowest pressure: 967 mb.
Winter Storm Klaus hit northern Spain and southwest France January 23 - 25, 2009, and was Earth's most costly natural disaster of 2009, causing $5.1 billion in damage and killing 26. Minimum pressure: 967 mb.
Kyrill (January 18, 2007) killed at least 45, with Germany suffering the most fatalities (13). Minimum pressure: 964 mb.
Back-to-back winter storms Lothar and Martin December 26-28, 1999) killed 140 people, 88 of the victims in France. Minimum pressure: 961 mb (Lothar), 965 mb (Martin).
The Burns' Day Storm of 1990 killed 97, mostly in England. Minimum pressure: 949 mb.
The Great Storm of 1987 was Europe's "storm of the century". It killed 22 people in England and France. Minimum pressure: 953 mb.
The North Sea Flood of 1962 killed 318 people--315 of them in Hamburg, Germany.
The North Sea Flood of 1953 killed 2,000 people in the Netherlands and England.
Xynthia's warm air surge sets records
One reason Xynthia became so powerful is that it formed very far south, where it was able to tap into an airmass that was unusually warm and moist. Satellite measurements (Figure 2) showed a plume of high total precipitable water (the amount of precipitation one can produce by condensing all the water vapor from the surface to the top of the atmosphere), about 300% above average, flowing from southwest to northeast along Xynthia's cold front. Enhancing the amount of moisture was the presence of very warm sea surface temperatures 1°C above average along this plume. As this extra moisture flowed into the storm, the moisture condensed into rain, releasing the "latent heat" stored up in the water vapor (the extra energy that was originally used to evaporate the water into water vapor). This latent heat further intensified Xynthia. The storm's central pressure fell to 966 mb at the storm's peak intensity, reached at 18 GMT Saturday after it passed over Spain's northwest corner.
As warm, tropical air surged northeastwards in advance of Xynthia's cold front, it set several all-time high temperature records for the month of February. Melilla, Spain hit 34°C (93°F) at 3pm local time on the 27th, beating previous highest February temperature of 30.6°C, set in 1979. The temperature surged upwards a remarkable 9.1°C (16°F) in one hour as Xynthia's warm front passed through. Record February warmth was also observed in the Canary Islands as Xynthia's warm front passed though.
Figure 2. Satellite measurements show a region of high total precipitable water (the amount of precipitation one can produce by condensing all the water vapor from the surface to the top of the atmosphere) up to 300% above average, flowing from southwest to northeast along Xynthia's cold front. Enhancing the amount of moisture was the presence of very warm sea surface temperatures along this plume, about 1°C above average. If this pool of very warm water is still around in July, it could lead to an earlier than average start to the Atlantic hurricane season.

Next storm
For the the U.S., the next winter storm of note is a moderately strong low pressure system currently over Texas that is expected to move quickly eastwards today and Tuesday. The storm should bring an inch or so of snow to Atlanta and northeast Alabama, and 2 - 4" to the nearby mountains of South and North Carolina, including Charlotte. After that, the models show a long break from winter storm activity for the Eastern U.S. Beginning Sunday, it looks like it will be the Midwest's turn, when a powerful winter storm will drop out of the Rockies, then move across the northern tier of Midwestern states early next week.
Next post
I'll have a new post Tuesday or Wednesday.

These baked enchiladas are made with Anasazi beans and seasoned with cilantro, cumin and three cheeses.
Although these beans have a unique name and beautiful striated color when raw, they taste like pinto beans when cooked. You can use pinto beans instead of Anasazi beans, if you like.
Plan ahead. Making this recipe with dried Anasazi beans takes time because the beans need to rehydrate as well as cook.

I asked contributor Ida Becker to pen a blog about our two-hour tour of the harbor during Monday's Parade of Sail goodbye to the fleet of tall ships visiting during the Charleston HarborFest 2009.
The fleet of tall ships in port this past week for the maritime festivities cast a glorious shadow across the harbor, but the magnificent silhouette of Kruzenshtern—the world's second largest sail training tall vessel, with four masts soaring up to 168 feet—towered over the Holy City's skyline from its berth at the Port Authority. Sight of the ships dominated the waterfront, and a slate of nautical activities, including cannon demonstrations, concerts, wooden-boat building workshops, and pirate lingo lessons, lured crowds to the docks throughout the weekend.
On Monday afternoon, the mighty flotilla headed toward the jetties, and the harbor was a hive of activity as scores of small powerboats buzzed around the Parade of Sail, the festival's finale. A few Charleston magazine colleagues (with their significant others in tow) and I enjoyed a birds-eye view of the departing vessels thanks to Matt Galvin with Coastal Yacht Charters, who hosted us on the 61-foot Viking sportfisherman Shark Byte. The vantage from the tuna tower (53 feet high) was spectacular and bested only by the perch enjoyed by the Romanian sailors aboard Mircea, who hung from the yardarms at a height of 137 feet.
A heat-induced haze hung lowacross the harbor, but the winds picked up—gusting more than 25 mph at times—by the time the first boat cleared Sullivan's Island, where a large crowd had gathered on the beach in front of Fort Moultrie. Shortly thereafter, the sky darkened, a telltale sign that a summer popup thunderhead was on its way, so Captain Jeffrey Mitchell and mate Lee Grace steered a course back toward Ashley Marina. The downpour was fierce but fast, and it cleared out shortly after our arrival back at the dock.
The storm left a special treat in its wake—a rainbow; here's hoping the tall ships look back upon their time in Charleston as a wonderful experience flush with hospitality and celebration.

3.67: Conservation of Mass and Energy in Nuclear Reactions
If the name Albert Einstein causes your eyes to glaze over, because it makes you think of abstract theories and complex equations, remember this image of the famous physicist. He obviously had a sense of humor. More importantly, he single-handedly turned science upside down with the ideas he introduced in the early 1900s. Amazingly, those ideas have withstood the test of time as more and more evidence has been gathered to support them.
Einstein's Famous Equation
Einstein's best-known equation—and possibly the best-known equation of all time—is actually very simple: E = mc2
This equation is incredibly important. It changed how scientists view energy and matter, which are two of the most basic concepts in all of science. The equation shows that energy and matter are two forms of the same thing. You can listen to a recording of Einstein explaining his famous equation at this URL:
Q: What do the letters in Einstein's equation stand for?
A: E stands for energy, m stands for mass, and c stands for the speed of light.
The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, so c2 is a very big number. Therefore, the amount of energy in even a small mass of matter is tremendous. Suppose, for example, that you have 1 gram of matter. That's about the mass of a paperclip. Multiplying this mass by c2 would yield enough energy to power 3,600 homes for a year!
Mass and Energy in Nuclear Reactions
Einstein's equation helps scientists understand what happens in nuclear reactions and why they produce so much energy. When the nucleus of a radioisotope undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass. What happens to the lost mass? It isn't really lost at all. It is converted to energy. How much energy? E = mc2. The change in mass is tiny, but it results in a great deal of energy.
Q: In a nuclear reaction, mass decreases and energy increases. What about the laws of conservation of mass and conservation of energy? Are mass and energy not conserved in nuclear reactions? Do we need to throw out these laws when it comes to nuclear reactions?
A: No, the laws still apply. However, it's more correct to say that the sum of mass and energy is always conserved in a nuclear reaction. Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same.
Einstein's equation, E = mc2, shows that matter and energy are two forms of the same thing. It also shows that there is a tremendous amount of energy (E) in a small mass (m) of matter.
- In nuclear reactions, matter changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy together does not change.
Watch the short video about E = mc2 at the bottom of the following Web page. Then, answer the questions below.
- Describe how a flashlight explains Einstein's equation, including where the c2 comes from.
- Einstein argued that all matter, right down to protons, contain stored energy. Give examples of common objects that contain stored energy (called potential energy).
- Describe in words the meaning of Einstein's equation, E = mc2.
- Why is this equation so important?
- How does Einstein's equation relate to the conservation of mass and energy in nuclear reactions?

Princeton: Woods and Water Built This Town
Princeton benefited from its location on a river -- the St. Croix -- that was useful for transportation of people and lumber and for powering mills as well as on its proximity to forests.
Clean Water: Muskie and the Environment
Maine Senator Edmund S. Muskie earned the nickname "Mr. Clean" for his environment efforts during his tenure in Congress from 1959 to 1980. He helped created a political coalition that passed important clean air and clean water legislation, drawing on his roots in Maine.
Melting snow, ice, warmer temperatures, and rain sometimes bring floods to Maine's many rivers and streams. Floods are most frequent in the spring, but can occur at any season.

this sure seems like a lot to go through simply to discuss a favorite scene from an old movie, but some things are worth a little effort.
the movie is Other Peoples Money with danny devito, as well as some other noteable actors. the critics were not as fond of the movie as i was.
the scene i keep thinking about is the scene where the wife of the family owned company (piper laurie) was appealing to "larry the liquidator" not to break up the steel cable company. after she left the room, danny devito artfully patted himself on the back and complimented himself for bringing the best out in people.
and he deserved this pat on the back.


text: I recently won a Benelli SBE II in a NWTF drawing that has a crio barrel and chokes. I sold my old SBE I back to the guy I bought it from and like the way the new one performs. Because the place I hunt is pretty tight cover and shooting distances are often very close, I went with the factory full choke (I killed a turkey with it this morning @ 13 yards). My question is; Since part of this property was cut over last fall, I now have some areas that offer longer shots. I own several choke tubes that went in my old SBE I that the guy who bought it did not want (he is a Kick's guy). Can I use those tubes in the crio barrel, or should I only go with crio tubes designed for that barrel? I doubt it would make much difference, but if it can give me an edge, I want to get it. I also don't want to damage the threads in the barrel (is that possible?). I appreciate any help.


text: blog postsRobert Rich, Director of the Institute of Government and Public AffairsJun 5, 2012 4:03 pmGovernmentShare on FacebookTweetEmailImagesAfter the General Assembly failed to pass a bill at the close of the spring legislative session, what's next for pension reform in Illinois? Robert F. Rich is the director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. Rich, who also is a professor of law, of political science and of medicine at Illinois, spoke with News Bureau business and law editor Phil Ciciora about the prospects for enacting legislation in a special summer session. What is next for pension reform in Illinois? Do you expect the situation to be resolved by the end of the summer? There are two major problems with the pension system for public employees: Illinois has the largest unfunded liability of any state in the United States (our system is currently 43 percent funded); and the inability to finance "normal costs" has increased the unfunded liability over time. If these issues are not addressed, then the rating agencies will further downgrade the state of Illinois, which will have a real negative impact on our overall economy. I believe the Legislature will pass legislation to address these issues by the end of the calendar year, at the latest. Was it a good idea for Gov. Pat Quinn to push the pause button and convene a special legislative session to consider pensions instead of pushing legislation that had been public for less than 24 hours? It was a good idea because there was insufficient support to pass meaningful legislation. Now, the four leaders can craft a solution that both political parties can agree on. It will take a three-fifths vote to pass any legislation. Then, if an agreement is reached, a special session can be called. How will the "cost-shift" issue be addressed in any future legislation? Cost-shifting transfers the responsibility for "normal costs" to school districts (local governments), universities and community colleges. I think this will be addressed in one of two ways: implementing the transfer over 20 years as opposed to 10 years, making it fiscally possible to achieve this goal; or shifting a portion (for example, 50 percent) away from the state. Does the proposed bill pass the constitutionality test? The proposed legislation would certainly have led to a court test. The non-impairment clause of the Illinois Constitution is one of the strictest in the United States. I do not believe that the provision that offers a "choice" to current employees and annuitants would survive a constitutional challenge because it does not offer a real, voluntary choice. A voluntary choice would be for alternatives of approximately equal value and where the choice is not coerced. The current language does not meet this test. What about pension reform is critical for the University of Illinois? The university is very concerned with attracting and retaining top faculty and staff. The current Tier 2 option, which was implemented as of Jan. 1, 2011, makes us non-competitive with many other institutions. So, from our perspective, pension reform needs to also deal with Tier 2. The "cash balance" plan, or the "hybrid plan," put forward by the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, will do this successfully. Would the proposed legislation have come close to solving the $83 billion unfunded liability? Yes, it would have, because the revised Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) would have reduced annual costs. It also would have allowed a quicker payback of the current unfunded liability. How long does the state have to avoid a "double downgrade" from credit rating agencies? The state made some progress with the measures it took to cut Medicaid and by passing a budget that was within revenue limits. I suspect that the credit agencies will not wait any longer than the end of the calendar year and they may even act by the end of the summer.stats39,549 Views additional actions

Absolutely beautiful flower ! I had no idea what it would look like and just purchase it randomly. I planted it in August and it actually started to flower in December! Very Hardy. The leaves and stems form a really nice frisée looking groundcover and the flowers themselves are so whimsical. Definitely recommend for a place near a pathway as a border or even will grow around tall vegetables such as brussel sprouts and prevent weeds!

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
Just days before going to trial, one of two lawsuits against the Tupelo Regional Airport Authority has been settled.
On Thursday, Chief U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills dismissed Reid Dawe's case against the Authority, which Dawe claimed had violated his rights when he was demoted.
Dawe was the former director of operations at Tupelo Regional Airport. He resigned in August 2010 shortly after his demotion to maintenance technician.
Shane McLaughlin, one of the attorneys representing Dawe, said all parties agreed to the settlement. He said details will not be disclosed.
Dawe's trial was to have started Monday.
McLaughlin said the lawsuit by former airport executive director Terry Anderson, whom he also represents, against the Authority is "unaffected" by Dawe's settlement. That trial is set for June 3.
Anderson was fired by the Authority in December 2009. He had led the airport for nearly a decade.
Dawe worked at the airport from 1987-1990 and from 1999 until the time he resigned.
The Authority said Dawe "did not satisfactorily perform" his duties as operations director and cited several examples as reasons for his demotion.
Dawe's suit said the Authority had retaliated against him for helping Anderson in his age discrimination case against the Authority, as well as giving airport information to Anderson and a former board member.
Dawe "was so upset about his outrageous demotion, and the board's attempts to keep Tupelo residents from knowing about operation of their airport" that he resigned, his suit had claimed.
Anderson and Dawe filed their suit together against the Authority in early 2011, but in October of that year, the court agreed to the Authority's motion to separate the cases.
Both men had asked for monetary damages from mental anxiety, stress and loss of income.

I'm enjoying Dr. Daniel Hubbard's blog, Personal Past Meditations, which was new to me this month (although celebrating its first blogoversary on August 1). It's the perfect place to take a break from what you're thinking and see what someone else is thinking, because Daniel is an excellent thinker.
Speaking of thinking, July Ruminations doesn't look like a very good place to find much of that going on! It's been too hot, muggy, and stormy to think of anything besides how hot, muggy, and stormy it is. I'm not a fan of Michigan weather, and this summer seems worse than any I can recall.
Nevertheless, I've been juggling several Blurb book projects all month. The ones getting all the attention right now are those which don't require thinking, i.e., old (non-genealogy) blogs which just need to be slurped and edited. I finished and ordered my second book; the third is done except for the jacket flaps (thinking required!); the fourth is a bit less than half finished; and the fifth has been slurped and a few posts edited.
Because I'm actually posting this a couple days late, I've been giving some thought to something that happened "in the future" so to speak, on August 2. One of my Facebook friends had her account hacked. The hacker, pretending to be her, contacted me via Facebook's "chat" feature. The conversation started with a simple "hi... how are you?" In many instances this would seem normal enough, but I was immediately puzzled. I have never met this Fb friend, I know her only through the GeneaBloggers group, and can't recall ever having had anything like a conversation with her. After trying to figure out whether I'd commented on her blog or something, I decided to respond in an equally harmless manner... I replied with a complaint about the weather and asked if hers was equally muggy. "Not good here... in some kind of mess," she answered. "The weather? or you?" I asked. "I'm stranded in London, United Kingdom... was mugged and robbed at gun point last night."
Yeah, I'm sure the first thing I would do after being mugged and robbed at gunpoint in a foreign country would be to instant-message a virtual stranger for idle chit-chat. Another line or two and there it was: "I need your help."
We all want to believe everyone is honest, but hey, I was not born yesterday. I advised calling to report the credit cards stolen, and then closed my browser and called it a night.
This morning (actually August 3), I checked her profile. She had already posted a status update saying that her account had been hacked, that she wasn't in London and had not been mugged. Other GeneaBloggers reported that they, too, had been instant-messaged by the hacker with the same bogus story. Many had already heard about a similar hacker scam recently. I hadn't, so my own suspicion was that this particular Facebook account had been set up by a scammer right from the start to target members of this community. That I was wrong on that particular point doesn't comfort me much though. In an open group as large as GeneaBloggers has become, there certainly is plenty of opportunity for clever scammers. Fortunately, GeneaBloggers is also a very interactive group, and awareness of last night's scam attempt was shared very quickly among group members.
In any case, I've been reconsidering the way I use Facebook, and will be reducing my Friends list in the coming days to family members and friends with whom I interact on a regular basis. Fellow GeneaBloggers, please don't take it personally if you find yourself unFriended! I look forward to reading your blogs, participating with you in GeneaBloggers activities, blog carnivals, etc. Honestly, I'm betting you won't even miss me, as I'm not much of a Facebooker anyway!

It's A Heisenbug! | Dr Dobb'sIt's A Heisenbug! | Dr Dobb's: "Bugs of this kind are often called Heisenbugs, after Werner Heisenberg. Heisenberg is best known for the uncertainty principle, which says (for example) that it is possible to determine the position or momentum of a particle accurately, but not both at the same time. As a result, the term has come to denote a bug that stems from uncertainty about the order in which two parts of a program are executed. Such bugs can be the most difficult of all to find."

"Six Strikes" Copyright Alert System to Start Punishing Customers Next Week
Jason Mick
February 25, 2013 12:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Those who wish to avoid system should quit Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, or Time Warner service
After months of delays,
a "six strikes" system
designed to curb copyright infringement will go live in the United States, affecting customers on many of the nations' top internet service providers (ISPs). While avoiding the most draconian of punishments
proposed in past plans
-- severing offenders' internet connections -- the system will carry serious consequences including connection throttling and forced "education" from anti-piracy groups.
nation's top two mobile carriers
-- Verizon Communications Inc. (
)/Vodafone Group Plc. (
) joint subsidiary Verizon Wireless and AT&T, Inc. (
) -- are both participating (as is Verizon Communications' cable network). Also onboard is top cable internet provider Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), a company that
knows a thing or two about throttling
. Rounding out the early adopters is Time Warner Cable, Inc. (
), a company known for its
tireless efforts to stomp out municipal cable
. The group, along with
its big media partners
, is known as the Center for Copyright Information.
The Daily Dot
was the first to report that the system would go online this week. The system had been delayed for months due to issues with testing servers getting knocked offline by Hurricane Sandy.
The CCI's so-called
Copyright Alert System
(CAS) just had a shiny new website and promotion video pop up on YouTube, lending credence to the report that the system will be deployed next week.
CCI's new website just went live.
Under the plan, copyright watchdogs like the
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and
Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) -- groups that have been internationally involved in
convictions or settlements
involving their own "theft"
of independent artists' work
-- will join peer-to-peer networks or BitTorrent transfers and log internet protocol (IP) addresses of people who are downloading "confirmed infringed content".
The first warning carries no action, but later warnings carry ISP-specific "Mitigation actions". The (sort of) good news is that there is a path to appeal warnings. Writes the CCI:
There is a $35 filing fee, which may be waived if you meet affordability criteria. The fee will be refunded if your challenge is successful.
Still, the system is
a concern for real estate owners and Wi-Fi cafe owners
, in that their services could be limited due to their customers' actions. In many cases, it would be near impossible for such entities to police their customers' actions.
The simple solution for business people in that situation is to cancel their service with AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, or Time Warner and seek a local alternative.
Of course that approach could be difficult in some regions, and may become infeasible if more ISPs jump on the CCI bandwagon. For now, though, there are alternatives for many customers who want to avoid the system.

1.1: Interpret Given Bar Graphs
Have you ever had a part-time job? Sometimes students are only allowed to work a certain number of hours based on age. Did you know this?
Take a look at this bar graph.
Do you know how to interpret the data? What conclusions can you draw by looking at the data? Bar Graphs can be very useful once you know how to use them, and here you'll learn all about them.
In the real world, we work with data all the time. What are we talking about when we use that word, "data"? We are referring to statistics or information that has been gathered about real events.
Data is any information that is collected.
When we conduct a survey or measure distances over time or record how trends change, this recorded information is considered data. The big idea is that data is collected information and in this Concept you are going to learn how to organize, analyze and work with data.
Let's start by thinking about bar graphs. You have probably been working with bar graphs since elementary school, but do you remember the purpose of a bar graph? How does a bar graph display and record information?
Let's begin with the definition of a bar graph.
What is a bar graph?
A bar graph is a graph that uses columns to show comparison of quantities or amounts.
The key word here is comparison. If you can remember to think about comparing when working with a bar graph, it will help you to keep things straight.
Take a few minutes to write the definition of a bar graph down in your notebook. Be sure to underline the word "comparison" to help you in remembering a bar graph's purpose.
Take a look at this situation concerning air travel.
The bar graph below compares the air travel costs to fly to numerous U.S. cities from Oakland, California on three airlines. Use the information on the bar graph to answer the questions below.
Example A
For which city did all three airlines have a similar price?
Solution: All three airlines had a similar price for travel to Atlanta.
Example B
Which airline had the lowest price for three of the five cities?
Solution: Coast to Coast Airlines had the lowest price ticket to Las Vegas, Houston, and Orlando.
Example C
For which city did Western Airlines and Coast to Coast Airlines have a difference in price of forty dollars?
Solution: The price of ticket to Orlando on Western Airlines was forty dollars more than a ticket on Coast to Coast Airlines.
Now let's go back to the dilemma from the beginning of the Concept. Here is the bar graph on part-time jobs.
Take a good look at this graph. Now we are going to use the graph to answer the following questions.
How many more hours per week are seniors aloud to spend working than sophomores?
Seniors are allowed to spend twenty hours per week working. Sophomores are allowed to work twelve hours per week. Therefore, seniors are allowed to work eight more hours each week than sophomores.
Are juniors allowed to work twice as many hours as freshman?
Juniors are permitted to work fifteen hours per week. Freshmen are permitted to work eight hours per week. The amount of time freshmen are allowed to work doubled is sixteen. Therefore, juniors are permitted to work almost double the amount freshman are allowed to work, but not quite.
You can see how the visual display of the information is helpful in answering questions about the data.
- Data
- information that has been collected regarding an occurrence or an event.
- Bar Graph
- is a graph that uses columns to compare quantities or amounts.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
The Iditarod is a dog sled race that takes place each year in Alaska. Each year, the organizers of the race survey the mushers entered in the competition to identify each leader's home. Take a look at this bar graph displaying the data collected. Then use it to answer the following questions. Because you don't have a list of the exact data, approximate each value on the bar graph to the best of your ability.
How many mushers come from Alaska?
In this race, how many come from states or countries other than Alaska?
What was the total number of mushers entered in this race?
There were about 46 mushers from Alaska.
There are approximately 27 mushers from places other than Alaska. Fourteen from other US States and about thirteen from other countries.
In total, there were approximately 86 mushers in this race.

MADRID (MarketWatch) — Britain's benchmark stock index gained ground Friday with the mining sector buoyed by growth data from China, as shares of Rio Tinto PLC rebounded a day after taking a multi-billion dollar write-down.
The FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.06% rose 0.4% to close at 6,154.41, following a 0.5% gain Thursday after markets drew support from stronger U.S. economic data.
Miner Rio Tinto PLC RIO, -0.31% RIO, -0.10% was among London's heavy hitters moving higher on Friday, it shares adding 1.8% after having lost 0.5% on Thursday. It had been hit even harder earlier in Thursday's session, on the back of a $14 billion impairment charge and the exit of its chief executive. Read: Rio Tinto CEO steps down after $14 billion charge
China's economic comeback
China's gross domestic product rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 from a year earlier, much-anticipated data show. Here's how the No. 2 global economy rebounded after a two-year slowdown.
Analysts at Barclays Research said Friday that the departure of Tom Albanese as CEO and the write-downs will herald a new era for the company.
"We believe these decisions are an attempt by Rio's board to draw a line under the past five years of poor capital allocation in M&A and re-establish themselves as the industry leader in cost control both capital and operational," the analysts said in a note.
Separately, Goldman Sachs said Rio is now "looking for some goodwill in the market. To that extent, we believe Rio may look to give shareholders what they want, which is cash back." The potential of a buyback being announced in Rio Tinto's full-year results has risen, they said.
News of stronger-than-expected growth out of China underpinned London's mining sector. Read: China's economy grows more than expected
In the U.K., however, retail sales rose at their slowest annual pace for two years in December, adding to worries the economy shrank in the final quarter of 2012.
Also Friday, Barclays upgraded Meggitt PLC MGGT, +0.27% to overweight from equalweight, saying that a valuation discount for the engineering company that specializes in aerospace equipment — pegged at 20% to its peers — is due to close.
That will come as investors in the aerospace cycle look away from pricier pure-play names, the brokerage said, calling Meggitt as well as U. S-based Rockwell Collins Inc. COL, +5.13% good late-cycle plays. Barclays lifted its price target on Meggitt by 16%, to 520 pence.
Meggitt's shares rose 1.4%.
Among other movers in London, shares of Diageo PLC DEO, +0.02% DGE, +0.18% rose 1%, while consumer-goods conglomerate Unilever PLC ULVR, -0.32% UL, -0.67% gained 0.3%.
On the downside, shares of J Sainsbury PLC SBRY, +0.15% fell 0.6%. Goldman Sachs added the grocery chain to its conviction sell list, saying cash flow and balance sheets are at risk as momentum slows.

Experiment Note API
It would be neat if there was a web services API for storing notes during an experiment. Researchers commonly take their own notes during testing of a specimen. I'm not sure how much of this makes it up to nees.org.
I would like to add a field to our camera control software that allows notes to be recorded at a step/ramp of an experiment by an operator. If my software could call a NEES web service to store the note, that would be great.
A website for viewing and editing notes would also be useful. It would provide a timeline of events. For example, when sounds are heard during long tests. Another idea is to use the notes could be used during the construction phase to record dates of activities.

Binghamton University writers to offer peaceful reflections
Writers from the Binghamton University community will offer an evening of reflective readings on the meaning of peace at 7 p.m. Wednesday, February 12, in Lecture Hall 8 on the University campus. The event is free and open to the campus community.
The event, titled "Poets for Peace," will mix the writings of several members of the Binghamton University campus community. Participants include English Department faculty Pamela Gay, Martin Bidney, Lois Einhorn and Susan Deer Cloud. Students expected to read include Bethe Kelley and Doris Umbers.
The work of Ruth Stone will also be featured. Stone is a recent recipient of the Academy of American Poets' Wallace Stevens Prize and a National Book Award. She is Bartle emerita professor of English and her work will be read by Elizabeth Tucker, associate professor of English.
In addition, audience members who wish to present a poem or work of art reflective of the meaning of peace will be invited to share their thoughts during an open mic session.
The "Poets for Peace" reading is sponsored by the faculty masters and the United Poets Coalition.
For more information, contact Elizabeth Tucker at 777-2422.

I would say Watkins is definitely in play for us after trading down (and it's highly likely they trade down again - maybe out of the 1st round completely). Watkins is probably more in keeping with the sort of linemen they seem to go for than Pouncey. Just as versatile as Pouncey in that he can probably play right tackle as well as Pouncey can play center.
As for being 27, well Ireland isn't going to care much about that. Guards can play forever anyway

Hey, thanks for looking over my videos. In the summer of 2000 I stated making videos using a demo movie maker called Vegas Video 2.0. I had so many ideas planned out but no real maker. I got my hands on a copy of Adobe Premiere, and I have been making movies ever since. So much comes to mind when I hear a song or when I watch an anime or even when I am in certain mood. As of 4/6/2003, I have 24 videos, I can say, are my own. I have been having some trouble getting them all up, but I am trying. I plan to do this as a living, and here is where I plan to get my start. I am going to Westwood College of Technology and I am enrolled in Graphic Design and Multimedia course.

Radiation therapy for advanced cancer
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or particles to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. For cancer that has not spread too far, radiation can sometimes cure the cancer, either by itself or used along with other treatments.
In advanced cancer, radiation therapy is often used to shrink tumors to reduce pain or other symptoms. This is called palliative radiation.
There are different types of radiation therapy and sometimes they are used together.
To learn more about radiation, please see Understanding Radiation Therapy: A Guide for Patients and Families.
For information on radiation treatment for a specific type of cancer, see our document about that type of cancer.
External beam radiation therapy
This is like having a regular x-ray except it lasts a little longer. A machine creates strong radiation beams that are directed at the tumor(s). Patients usually have treatments 5 days a week for several weeks. Sometimes, this can be shortened to just 1 or 2 days by giving more radiation during each session.
Special types of external beam radiation therapy are able to focus the radiation more precisely to lower some side effects. These include 3D-conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
There is also a type of radiation that's given in only a few sessions called stereotactic radiosurgery (steer-e-o-TACK-tick ray-dee-o-SUR-jer-ee). It's called surgery, but no knife or scalpel is used. This treatment is used to treat tumors in the brain or spinal cord, and can allow the patient to avoid regular surgery. Using the same technique to treat cancer in other parts of the body is called stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Side effects of radiation often include extreme tiredness and skin changes ranging from redness to blistering and peeling in the skin the radiation beams passed through. Other side effects depend on the area being treated.
Radiation to the head and neck area can damage the glands that make saliva and cause a sore throat or mouth sores. Some people have trouble swallowing or lose their ability to taste food.
Radiation to the belly and pelvis can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and possible damage to the intestines. Radiation to the pelvis can irritate the bladder, leading to problems with burning with urination and a feeling like you need to go often.
Radiation to the chest area can irritate the esophagus (the tube connecting the throat to the stomach) leading to painful swallowing. It can also cause lung damage that may make some people short of breath.
Brain radiation can cause hair loss, as well problems with thinking or memory that can start many months to years after treatment.
Internal radiation therapy
This type of radiation is also called brachytherapy (brake-ee-THER-uh-pee). For this treatment the radioactive material is put right into or near the cancer. The radiation travels only a short distance, so there is less damage to nearby normal tissue. This is more often used for early-stage cancers, but is sometimes used to treat tumors blocking a lung or intestine.
Radiopharmaceuticals (ray-dee-oh-farm-uh-SUIT-ih-kulz) are a group of drugs that contain radioactive materials (such as radium-223, strontium-89 or samarium-153) that have been dissolved into liquids and can be given into a vein. They travel through the blood and are drawn to areas of bone that contain cancer. The radiation given off by the drug kills cancer cells and relieves bone pain, but it does not cure the cancer. If the cancer has spread to many bones, this may work better than using external beam radiation, which only treats a small area.
The major side effect of this treatment is lower blood cell counts (mainly white blood cells and platelets), which could increase your risk for infections or bleeding. This is more of a problem if your counts are already low before treatment.
Other radiopharmaceuticals aren't only attracted to bones, but can be used to treat certain types of cancer, even when it has spread to other places. For example, radioactive iodine (I-131) can be used to treat most types of advanced thyroid cancer.

Reality Check: Ad Paints McCain, Palin As Mavericks
Republican Ticket Seen As Reformers
MADISON, Wis. - A new political ad is touting the rebellious records of the Republican ticket.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
It's the buzz word that's been used to describe presidential candidate Sen. John McCain. Now his campaign is trying to share the label of "maverick" with his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin.
But WISC-TV found that some of the claims need a second look.
"The original mavericks. He fights pork barrel spending," said the ad.
This is true. McCain has long been a hawk for wasteful spending of tax dollars.
In the instance referenced here, he was criticizing the president for not vetoing earmarks put in appropriation bills by Congress. One of the most notorious earmarks was one requested from Alaska, which happens to be from where his running mate hails.
The ad continued, "She stopped the bridge to nowhere."
This needs clarification. First, some background.
The so-called "bridge to nowhere" was a bridge estimated to cost some $400 million that would have connected Ketchikan, Alaska, with a sparsely populated island. The project was singled out by taxpayer watchdog groups as a wasteful spending project and sparked debate in Congress over federal earmarks, a WISC-TV analysis found.
In the ad, Palin "told Congress no thanks."
That's not quite right. In fact, Palin supported the project before opposing it. But as a candidate she said it was important to the community's prosperity so her position changed once she became governor, WISC-TV found.
And in the end, Alaska got the money but didn't build the bridge.
"He took on the drug industry. She took on big oil," said the ad.
This is true. McCain has sponsored legislation calling for drug re-importation from Canada, although his efforts thus far have failed.
It's also true that Palin challenged the oil companies in Alaska. She pushed for a tax increase on the profits of oil companies. She also awarded a major gas pipeline project to a Canada company, rather than some of the major oil players - - another move many saw as "standing up" to big oil, a WISC-TV analysis found.
"He battled Republicans and reformed Washington. She battled Republicans and reformed Alaska," said the ad.
This needs clarification, a WISC-TV analysis found. Both of these statements are subjective, and the documents cited here don't necessarily back them up.

Captain America was not just shown as a propaganda tool in the film Captain America: The First Avenger, the fictional character was actually created in 1941, by timely comics, which later became Marvel comics. The date of the release, in the middle of the Second World War is why the Captain was depicted on many front covers, delivering a punch to Hitler and other such things. CA was therefore an actual propaganda tool used in an actual world war and so is just a little more than a fictional character, wrote about in a picture book. The USA have used several comic books to represent propaganda over the years and the first one was probably Captain America, all the way back in World War II. Here you get more information about the political background: http://www.salon.com/2011/07/19/captain_america_politics/
Source: http://www.ign.com/wikis/marvel-studios-cinematic-universe/107th_Division
The character was the ultimate patriot and a great character to represent the might of America and really inspire troops in World War II. The creators of the comic claim that although the comic did have a clear storyline of its own, the comic was a deliberate political tool that they wanted to be used as propaganda. The issue in which the Captain gave Hitler a good old punch to the face sold over a million copies and the comic was hugely popular during the war, as you can well imagine.
- The reason that CA proved so popular and worked so effectively as a piece of propaganda was because he didn't have amazing super powers.
- He couldn't fly and he couldn't swing from a skyscraper from spiders web, he was simply a normal American.
- This meant that normal Americans could relate to the character and believe that they too could be just like Captain America.
- This explains why Nazi propaganda producers had laughed at many previous attempts at propaganda of a similar kind.
The comic also epitomised everything that Hitler stood against. America did not laugh in the face of a frail, but determined man who desperately wanted to join the army, something Hitler would have despised, they evolved him into a super soldier. The soldier was not armed with fearsome weapons of mass destruction, and was not a war-mongering lunatic, instead he had a shield, an emblem and a symbol of safety and protection. The shield was symbolic of the fact that Captain America, who represented America as a whole was simply defending itself against the evil of Hitler.

Comments about Rugged RidgeAll Terrain FlatFlare and Fender Liner Kit:
Rugged ridge has some of the best aftermarked parts and accessories for jeeps with the exception of these flat flares.I like my flares flexable but these flares are paper thin and the holes in the liners dont match up with the flares and they obviosly were pulled from the mold too quick. Needless to say the liners went in the dumpster where they belong. If its thin flat flares you need then rugged
