Windows 8: Using the New File Copy Feature
Windows 8 Consumer Preview is full of new features. One is the new file copy feature. It gives you graphical information about the copying process. And it lets you pause a transfer if you're copying more than one file at a time.
From the Metro Start screen, click Windows Explorer. Here I'm copying a file from a thumb drive to the desktop. Click More Details.
A visual interface comes up showing information on what the copying process is doing. It shows the speed, the name of the file being copied and the percentage complete.
If you're copying more than one file, click the pause button if you want the other file to copy over first.
Click the Pause button again to resume the process.
The copy process works smarter too. If you forget about copying a large file and power off your computer or close the screen on your laptop, it stops the copy process and resumes it once you power on the machine again.
This is a welcome feature for users who transfer and copy large amounts of data between network and external drives.

Code: Select all
PlayStation VR (Reserve for 2016 shipment) Status: Shipped
tldr: aw yis, this thing rules
setting it up was easy enough, headset comes with an external processor unit with a crapload of plugs
- power supply cable
- hdmi out from ps4 into the device
- hdmi out from device into tv
- usb cable from device into ps4
- one generously long cable from device that you finally plug the headset into
after peeling all the plastic off the sony logo's the next bit was figuring out the best way to put it on without breaking it. the back of the headset has a push button allowing it to conform to whatever your head size is (plus a dial for tightening that i'm yet to use) and there's also a button under the goggle part which slides it back and forth along a rail until it snuggly fits and focuses. once on it feels like you're wearing a cap. it's impressive how light it is. you're aware of a tiny weight at the front but that's it. the first thing you do after putting it on is to take it off because feeling around for the controller didn't work out. armed with this new knowledge i put the controller on my lap and put it on again.
before i go on i should mention headphones. it comes with some earplugs that you plug into a box on the cable that has the on/off and volume controls. the earplugs are ... quite invasive. i was stoked to find out that my wireless headphones fit over the top of the headset without any obstruction. but, the ps4 said i couldn't use them for some reason. i have some older ones that just plug into the box on the cable but the rest was all using surround sound in the room.
the ps4 crossbar menu appears as a floating screen in the headset. no 360 environment yet. i'd already pre-installed VR worlds, playroom VR (free), a demo disc with 18 game demos (unit comes with a demo disc as well) and a couple more free apps i found in the ps store. anyone else in the room can watch what you see on the tv but i was ready for the sharks so i fired up vr worlds. my first jaw drop moment was the 360 degree menu screen. took a while just enjoying the tech. looking around was so much better than i expected. response time is instant and was very impressed that i could turn my back to the camera and it still tracked my movements like a boss. camera range is wide, i'd aimed it at the middle of a 3 seater couch and i could sit anywhere on it with no issues. if you move outside the cameras range your vision starts fading to black. took me a while to realise that the ps4 controller now had its own avatar too. i chucked it on the seat next to me and it reacted accordingly. i reached out with my phantom limb to retrieve it and with a huge grin on my face selected 'Ocean Descent' aka (shark cage).
the demo of VR worlds only has a short look around, the full version has 3 dives (same spot, just goes deeper) but you have to do a shallow one before the one called 'wildlife encounter'. i wanted my first go to be with the shark so i graciously let hobb v2 take the first dive. plus i noticed a smear on the lens that was left over from the plastic peel off things that i wanted to fix. there's a cleaning cloth in the box for just this sort of thing. as i gently wiped the lens down the fear of scratching them on day one was very much present. did a quick check, smear was gone, perfect vision and then watched hobb v2 do his dive on the tv and completely lose his shit. then it was my turn.
being able to look a full 360 degree's is nothing short of incredible. i remember watching a catalyst episode before rift was a thing that talked about how easy it was to fool the brain. the shark cage builds it up really well and when it attacked there was an automatic response. don't want to spoil it but i was definitely aware of my brain telling me i was in trouble before i started laughing. it's very cool. one of my neighbours came round to pick their kid up and said "what's that?". i put her in the same one and i wish i'd filmed it. about 10 seconds into the shark attacking her and she was curled up in a ball on the couch taking the headset off. then she started cracking up at her reaction declaring how amazing that was. then she went to get her husband to have a go lol.
the freeway chase game (heist) is probably the best interactive experience because of the 2 move controllers. the full version is a story about a diamond heist with a few different scenes. the scene that got me was set in an english pub while this guy tells you the plan. on the table you have a few things to pick up and play with while he's doing his cockney 'ardman routine. cigar, lighter, wad of cash, blutooth earpiece and an xperia phone (well played sony). i picked up the cigar with the left hand just by reaching over and pulling the trigger on the move controller. bam. i didn't have to adjust for anything it just felt like an intuitive natural movement. with the right hand i picked up the lighter and started puffing away. there is a mic somewhere in the headset and one reviewer said he could exhale the smoke but i haven't found that. but by waving your hand you can push the smoke around. the phone rings, i picked it up and could faintly hear some talking. i wonder if .... yup. i put it next to my ear like a retard and chuckled when the audio started playing down my ear. last thing was when the 'ardman sat on the bar table and said "giz us a light would ya". oh shit, really? do i pick up the lighter and .... yup. the interactivity in that bar scene with the move controllers is the best i've seen so far. everyone's probably seen the freeway footage where you have to reload the uzi. i didn't feel any motion sickness at all. it's just awesome. there are plenty of creative shooting ranges in this game too. this was the first time i could slow down and really look at how accurate the move controllers are. without the laser sights i did notice a couple of times that taking a long time to look down the sights there'd be a little twitch but nothing that i'd call a deal breaker. every other time i tried it there was no problem.
after a few more game demos i moved on to an app i downloaded called littlstar which has a bunch of 360 vids. you'll need at last a cable connection for this one as it streams a crapload of data from NY. these short videos are made with a series of fixed point cameras. you can't move around or peer around things like the 3D one's obviously. some examples of what you can find are:
- tour around rio on the day/night of carnival. from the jesus statue at sunset, on a crowded beach with scantily clad wimminz and shirtless men playing hacky sack with a soccer ball, to the carnival itself. really fkn impressive and not once was i mugged or stabbed so not overly realistic in that sense.
- mythbuster van explosion. the camera here is maybe 10m from a massive explosion that sadly takes out the cameras tripod. but the narration frame by frames the explosion pointing out all the things going on and they were able to salvage a very cool experience.
- dude with some lions in the wild. nice short one where you're standing in the middle of nowhere and one of those guys that lions don't eat calls them over and plays with them infront of you. i've never been to africa but just looking around and checking things out when i decide is so cool.
- onstage during the lion king opening scene. never saw the stage show but knew it was famous for their costumes and set design. and they are very cool.
- 100 years of tanks museum tour. this one cuts to some terrible 3dmax animations which let it down but as a private tour of the exhibits in a museum where you never get to go inside these things is a brilliant idea that i'll be seeking out more.
there were a couple more downloads. one that my kids are particularly stoked with is a 360 pixar-like cartoon called invasion. you're a bunny somewhere in the snowy mountains and watch this scene play out where some aliens show up and have their global domination attempts thwarted by another bunny. along with the shark cage and heist game, i'd add this to the highest quality experiences i've had so far in VR.
what the bunny and littlstar highlights tho, is that the psvr is definitely not a bluray-quality photo-realistic experience that makes you think you're in the matrix. i didn't expect it to be but if you're thinking of watching full length movies with this thing on you need to be aware that the resolution just isn't there. there was another demo called rigs which is a mech suit fps game in quake-like levels. i suspected that if i was going to get motion sickness it would be this one. it was night #3 when i fired this demo up and short review: fuck that game. i couldn't do any more VR that evening and had to lie down for about an hour. it's just too fast, too much crap going on and the disconnect between you moving around like a fps game in the VR space and not moving IRL is no good. for me, the strength of VR is when you're sitting in an xwing, car, shark cage or even a street luge is fine. you can fly through virtual space just fine as long as you don't try to play it like a fps game using a ps4 controller. maybe it was because it was the first time i'd tried to turn using the controller stick to turn instead of using my head or maybe it's like rollercoasters in that kids will like it more than older cnts with damaged eyes from years of CRT exposure and watching movies on tablets in the bedroom.
there are heaps of games coming and i'm particularly interested in this category FPX (first person experiences)
https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/ ... nvr_games/
do i have buyers remorse? emphatic fkn no! this thing is still amazing after a weeks use. it's the first version and i expect some resolution improvements are on the horizon because i can't fault anything else. it's hard to describe the experience inside the headset but the brain really is easy to fool. i want more content!

I tried to write this post last night because I wanted it to go up first thing this morning.
I just couldn't put it all together.
I wanted to wait and see what the day would bring.
It seemed wrong to write about the day before it had the opportunity to unfold for me. I am certainly no soothsayer and when I started typing I thought I knew how I would feel today, but turns out I couldn't put my finger on it. The day is over now, and I am still not sure how I feel. Disconnected comes to mind but I'm not sure that's it.
My first real recollection of September 11, 2001 started with my Operations Officer calling me at my desk.
"Are you watching the TV?"
He was calling me from off base. I thought it was some kind of trick question.
"No sir, I'm working."
"Turn on the TV. Some idiot just flew a plane into the World Trade centre."
Eleven years ago today I stood in the squadron conference room and watched the twin towers of the World Trade centre come down. I watched the smoke billow up from the gash in the Pentagon and the scorched pit in a random field in Pennsylvania. It was confusing. Unreal. Scary. I knew by the end of the day that things had changed.
I had no idea how right I would turn out to be.
Less than a week later I deployed for the first time in my life. I never stopped to wonder how many more would follow. I still don't know the answer to that question.
The rotation was already scheduled but it took on a new urgency and a sense of foreboding. People really seemed to take notice that we were going. If we had deployed a week earlier it would have been a non-event in the local community. The conflict we were scheduled to deploy in support of had long been normalized. We'd been guarding Saddam for a decade at that point. The deployment turned out to be a big deal.
From Kuwait I watched the air campaign over Afghanistan unfold. Everything kept changing. By that time we were already supporting two conflicts, the continued enforcement of the Southern No Fly Zone and the new war in Afghanistan. We looked north to Iraq and saw nothing. The third country nationals who worked in our chow hall watched CNN as it played on the TVs while we ate dinner. I wonder now what they thought.
In the decade that has followed I have carried a rifle and kicked dirt in 10 different countries on three continents. As I write this I am preparing to deploy again. This time I'm going back to where it all began—Afghanistan.
I have buried friends. I have buried peers. I buried one Airman who worked for me and didn't go to the funeral of a second Airman because I wasn't welcome there. I buried an Iraqi pilot who died with my friend. I watched his family. They grieved just like we did.
I am uncertain of the outcome of this war. It wasn't always that way for me; there was a time when I thought I knew what this was all about and I was confident in how it would end. I'm trying to figure out what changed. Was it the war and its objectives or was it me? Can either be changed back? I'm not sure I even remember what it was like to be certain about the outcome of the war, but I know that I was at one time. It seems so long ago.
My uncertainty about the outcome of this war should not be confused with my belief that something must be done to try to secure our way of life and our country. Whatever that is, I am willing to do it. I am, after all, a volunteer. I'd just like to understand it. I'd like for it to make sense to me.

In the never-ending saga that is the Real Housewives of New Jersey, the gang heads to Punta Cana and it's more of the same: drunken antics, terrible trashy clothing, and bickering. To borrow a phrase from the one, the only Juicy: "Shut UP!"
Preparing for a luxurious 5-day kid-free stay in Punta Cana on Bravo's dime, at The Gorga Marble Compound, Joe, after stuffing his children in a suitcase, begins personally inspecting all Melissa's stripper bikinis by sniffing the crotch. In front of his mother-in-law and his children he is sniffing the crotch of his wife's bathing suit while she dangles another hoochie mama confection in front of his face.
At the Giudice marble mansion, Teresa has raided the Victoria's Secret Swimsuit Catalog from 1993 and is packing every sequined string bikini in the land. Melania takes this opportunity to assault and batter both her sisters. Um… where is Gabriella? Was she taken away by family services or something – I haven't seen her all season. Maybe she's already too embarrassed to be participating in this show. Joe promises to try and have a good time – Gia echos what we're all thinking when she gives him a disbelieving look.

Mitt Romney is getting pounded for his comment about 47 percent of the people not paying taxes — folks who, Mitt said during a fundraiser, "are dependent upon the government, who believe they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."
"And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives," said Romney in the video obtained by Mother Jones magazine: "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what."
That isn't true. Not the part about voting for Obama no matter what (we'll see soon enough). The part about how they're living off of the government teat.
Mitt dropped the reference without hesitation at a GOP fundraiser earlier this year because he thought he was speaking to like-minded folks who knew the reference. And they did. It's long been a common stat in conservative/Tea Party circles.
When that "47 percent" reference started bubbling up in the summer of 2011, we examined this issue, as it had become a talking point of the Tea Partiers. (Actually, it is 46 percent.) The source of this stat is a report from the Tax Policy Center.
True: As we said in our story, 46 percent of Americans do not pay federal income taxes. …….
"But most of those people do pay federal taxes" of some sort, such as payroll taxes, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, a center-left Washington think tank, and co-author of a widely cited report last month on who pays taxes.
Roughly half of those 76 million American households who don't pay federal income taxes are zeroed out because their income is too low, he said, while the other half – of all income levels – pay no federal income tax because of a variety of exemptions and loopholes.
"It's a much more nuanced story than the blatant 'almost half of Americans pay no tax,' " Williams said.
"If you limit it to income tax," he added, it is true that 46 percent don't pay, "but there's a good reason behind it, and we all get benefits from these tax reductions. And disproportionately we get them if we're rich."

Grant Seeking: Frequently Asked Questions
Questions We Hear About Grant Seeking
Q. I have an idea for a project that seems appropriate for private foundation funding. What should I do next when grant seeking?
国产偷拍视频A. Your first step in grant seeking is to speak with your department chairperson and your advancement office about your ideas, whether they fit with department priorities, and how to carry them forward. You can begin conducting research on your own using campus resources like the list of foundation funders on our website and the Illinois Researcher Information Service (IRIS). This will give you a preliminary idea of which funders might be interested in your proposed project. Once you have reviewed and identified potential foundations for your project, please contact our office, phone, 217-206-6058, or e-mail to set up a face-to-face or telephone meeting to discuss next steps.
Q. When grant seeking, how can I stay informed about Requests for Proposals offered by foundations?
国产偷拍视频A. A good way to stay informed about RFPs is to subscribe to The Foundation Center's weekly RFP bulletin. Our office is also monitoring foundations for RFPs on an ongoing basis.
Q. Should I obtain approval from your office before contacting a prospective funder?
A. Yes. Our office will need to be notified about corporate and foundation grant proposals.
Q. I have already written a proposal and I have a contact in a foundation. May I apply on my own or do I still need to get internal approvals from my department head, dean, etc.?
国产偷拍视频A. You will need to submit your proposal through the UIS Grants and Contracts Office as you would with any other proposal (private or government), and provide the required documentation. As stated above, proposals to private funders also need to be communicated to the UIS Office of Advancement.
Q. I am partnering with colleagues at another institution. Can your office still help me?
A. We will assist with foundation proposals that will benefit UIS, either as the primary applicant or sub-awardee.
Q. Do you provide assistance with proposals to government agencies?
国产偷拍视频A. Our services extend only to those applying to private funders. Assistance with government proposals can be found through the UIS Grants and Contracts Office.
Q. Can I apply to a foundation that another faculty member or unit is applying to? How are multiple submissions handled?
A. Many foundations request only one proposal from an institution per grant cycle. Some foundations accept multiple submissions from the same institution. However, to be strategic and as effective as possible in our approaches, we sometimes need to prioritize proposal submissions. This one of the reasons it is important to communicate with our office about your proposals to private funders. We will make sure your proposal is submitted at a time when it has the most likelihood for success.
Q. I would like to approach a corporation for funding. Can your office help me with that?
A. Yes. We also make requests to corporations.
Q. Do foundation funders pay Facilities and Administrative costs (overhead) for projects they fund?
A. Many foundations do not support F&A charges or pay a reduced rate. Our office can assist in locating or requesting a statement of the funder's indirect cost rate policy in order to properly prepare the proposal budget.
Q. What is the Foundation Philanthropy Seminar?
A. The seminar provides an opportunity for our campus community to hear from foundation representatives who can share valuable information about their foundation's priorities and decision-making processes, as well as overall trends in philanthropy. The seminar is open to all interested faculty, administrators, and advancement officers. Over the past several years we've had speakers from the Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln, the Joyce Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Contact Sarah at 217-206-6058 for information about our next seminar.
Q. Does your office offer training on working with foundations?
国产偷拍视频A. We are happy to provide one on one training and information for those who have immediate needs. Our office periodically provides an overview in conjunction with the UIS Office of Grants and Contracts and the Central Illinois Nonprofit Resource Center (CINRC) located in Brookens Library. We are also available for tailored presentations to colleges or departments.
Q. Where are you located?
A. Our office is located on the 5th floor of the UIS Public Affairs Center, PAC 591.
Q. Whom should I contact?
A. Contact the Office of Advancement. Marilyn Kok, the Associate Director of Grants and Communications in the Office of Advancement, can be reached at 217-206-6058 or firstname.lastname@example.com
国产偷拍视频We are here to help!

Sep 14, 2009"Fantastic Book" I could not put this book down. Although I was familiar with the story from an Internet forum, Ms. Benedict's book provided many details about Anna's life and home. Ms. Benedict tells her story with grace and class that few people have. When Anna is found she will know that her mother, and so many others, always loved her and never gave up on finding her. Anna and her family have a very special place in my heart.
Jul 9, 2009This is an incredibly sad, yet hopeful story, and it is beautifully written.
Apr 9, 2009" A captivating read" This book chronicles the true story of the disappearance of five-year-old Anna Waters in 1973 and her family's ongoing search for her. Written by Anna's mom, Michaele Benedict, it contains many of her original journal entries and really draws the reader into the moment. I felt as though I were there with Mikie, living through her journey - and even though I never met Anna, I feel as though I know her, as Mikie captures her essence and communicates it to the reader. Anna was a special little girl, and is now a special woman who deserves to be reunited with her family. This has captivated me like no other true crime book or missing persons case. I have already loaned the book out to two friends and they are hooked as well. This book has my highest recommendation.
Oct 27, 2008"Re: SPAM" Please remove this insensitive spam!
Oct 24, 2008"Searching For Anna" This true story is stunningly written by Anna's mother. Michaele Benedict passionately searches for her daughter who vanishes without a trace. Mystery, intrique, love and losses make this book outstanding reading. I have enjoyed every word and highly recommend this book to everyone! Not a day goes by without my thoughts on Anna. Forever and tomorrow the search continues....

How do I convert this section of C++ code into Lisp using Lisp lists. I don't really need to show it but I have a C++ vector<int>
I converted into lisp using CFFI. I converted the vector<int> filled with 5 numbers ,to a Lisp List.
Here is the final Lisp list:
(1 2 3 4 5)
I would like you to hopefully ignore what I said previously and pretend that I'm just starting out with the previously mentioned Lisp list and know I need to operate on it precisely as below so it will fit into the other C++ code I'm converting to Lisp. can you kind gentleman possible show my the exact Lisp equivelant of the below statement, operating on this exact list (1 2 3 4 5). Thanks in advance for any help on this.
for( vector<int>::const_iterator r = number.begin(); r != number.end(); r++ )

I was sent this link about Paul who lived in a Tiny Trailer that was towed by his bike. The Trailer was where Paul lived for Burning Man.
Reprinted: Dvice Charlie White 8/2009
Why tow around a bus-sized motorhome when you can create a 100-pound trailer that has nearly everything you need? Meet a guy named Paul, creator of this bicycle-towed camper with a wind turbine on top, a place he called home at the Burning Man project for a week.
He cooks his meals in a solar oven, and heats up water for showers and kitchen use with a solar water heating system. There's a urinal funnel on the outside, but unfortunately there's no facilities for taking care of number two. Guess he just had to squat for that. Overall, this is as off-the-grid as you can get.
Paul built this micro house as a design study, wondering what would happen if Swine Flu resulted in an apocalypse that required him to be entirely self-sufficient.
Check out the gallery below to peruse his Spartan accommodations, and don't miss our favorite feature, the bubble on the end where he lays his head at night, giving him a clear view of the stars.

University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken has announced the 2013 winners of the university's most prestigious awards for teaching, research and engagement.
The university-wide awards recognize faculty whose work has had a strong impact on students, the university and the state, according to Milliken.
"Great faculty are at the heart of a great university. The University of Nebraska is fortunate to have on its campuses tremendously talented faculty whose commitment to excellence is a true inspiration," Milliken said. "I'm proud to take this opportunity to recognize the faculty who play such an important role in serving our students, the university and the state of Nebraska."
Awards will be presented during a luncheon in April. Winners are:
Outstanding Teaching and Instructional Creativity Award (OTICA): recognizes individual faculty members who have demonstrated meritorious and sustained records of excellence and creativity in teaching.
Ed Vandenberg, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
A UNMC faculty member since 1998, Vandenberg has earned a reputation for his commitment to working across disciplines to improve curricula, particularly in the area of geriatrics. He has improved instruction in critical for medical students as they transition from medical school to residency, such as medical errors, the costs of medical care, inter-professional team training and communication, and management of cardiac arrests. While serious about teaching, Vandenberg doesn't hesitate to incorporate humor into his lectures – his lecture on falls among the elderly, which he delivers in full knight's armor, is famous among students. Vandenberg's "GERI Pearls" – brief summaries on various geriatric topics that have proved to be tremendous learning tools for students – also have become legendary on campus.
Peter Wolcott, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Wolcott already is an award-winning professor, having received UNO's Excellence in Teaching Award and the Outstanding Service-Learning Faculty Award in 2011. In evaluations, students consistently praise his mastery of course content and his ability to communicate it effectively. Wolcott also is committed to service learning, regularly making connections with microenterprises in Omaha and supervising groups of students who work with those businesses to provide solutions, coaching, skill-building and planning for their technology needs. "The help and empowerment these students provide makes a real difference, and Peter provides the leadership to make that happen," Wolcott's department chair, Ilze Zigurs, wrote in his nomination letter. Wolcott also has been a leader in distance learning, making educational opportunities available to many more students.
Outstanding Research and Creative Activity (ORCA) Award: recognizes individual faculty members for outstanding research or creative activity of national or international significance.
Kenneth Price, Ph.D., Hillegass University Professor of American Literature and co-director of the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Price is a well-known scholar of both Walt Whitman and 19th-century American literature. He has published several books while at Nebraska, including To Walt Whitman, America, a study of Whitman's continuing reputation in the 20th and 21st centuries. Price serves as President of the Association of Documentary Editing, an organization that includes editors of prestigious projects like the George Washington Papers, the Thomas Jefferson Papers and other collections of the works of major American writers and figures. He also developed what has become the Walt Whitman Archive, an electronic research and teaching tool that has made Whitman's work, for the first time, easily accessible to scholars, students and general readers. The Archive has been called the "gold standard for digital humanities."
Thomas Porter, M.D., Hubbard Chair of Cardiology and professor of internal medicine at UNMC.
Porter is a true "triple threat" – a renowned cardiologist, teacher and researcher whose innovations have led to new technologies with strong commercialization potential. According to his nominator, UNMC's vice chancellor for research, Dr. Jennifer Larsen, Porter has developed a number of innovative approaches to cardiac ultrasound, to the extent that it is no longer considered just a diagnostic test but a means to deliver therapeutic interventions. As a result of his efforts, he is now among the nation's leaders in cardiac ultrasound. As a top clinical cardiologist, Porter is regularly referred patients from across the region and is often called upon to assist with interpretation of clinical data. Additionally, he is regularly named a "top teacher" in his department.
Innovation, Development and Engagement Award (IDEA): recognizes faculty members who have extended their academic expertise beyond the boundaries of the university in ways that have enriched the broader community.
Susan Swindells, M.B.B.S., professor of internal medicine and Watanabe Chair for HIV/AIDS Research and Care at UNMC.
Swindells, who directs UNMC's HIV clinic, is a recognized leader in HIV research who has also built a reputation for her commitment to helping underserved populations, improving AIDS education and training, and providing compassionate care. Swindells created an HIV care focus track in the medical school and developed a pediatric clinic to serve the growing number of children affected by HIV/AIDS. On the scientific side, Swindells has developed strategies to improve health care for patients worldwide. For example, she and her team conducted a study that found that a simpler medication regimen for patients, involving fewer pills taken at more convenient intervals, could be as effective as significantly more complicated regiments – a finding that has been helpful for both patients and physicians.

Welcome to Speech Therapy at Home: N Home Articulation Practices. This is your home page for all things N. Please bookmark or add to your favorites so you can refer back to it as your child progress through each level.
N is usually mastered by 3 years of age. Some
children learn this sound earlier; but it is normal to make errors
up until 3 years old. Below find out how to teach and then practice with your child in the comfort of your very own home.
Below you will find:
In order to teach N to your child effectively, you must know how to say N yourself. It is important to understand the mechanics behind making the sound. Once you have the language to describe how to say N, you will be better able to teach your child.
I will teach you tactile, verbal, and visual cues as well.
This section is a MUST READ!
Click here: How to Say N
Here you will learn tips and techniques on how to teach N to your child. If your child is already in speech therapy and can say N in isolation or in syllables, move down to the drill & flashcard games below.
If you are unsure, read this section anyways. Can't hurt!
Visit Teach N to get started!
Congratulations! Your child can say N. Now, you are ready to work on saying N correctly in words.
At this level, it is important to practice saying the sound in the beginning (initial), middle (medial), and end (final) position. Your child's mouth has to coordinate and move muscles differently depending on where the sound falls within a word.
This stage may last longer than the previous and that is to be expected. However, don't get stuck here if your child misses a word here or there. 100% accuracy is rare and not necessary!
Visit N Word Level: Drill Practice & Games to get started
Once your child is able to say N correctly in words (drill practice) and during flashcards games, you are ready to move on to the functional games listed here. This is the most exciting phase since this is where generalization really starts to happen. Here, your child will learn how to say N correctly in connected speech.
In order to encourage carryover of progress, you will be throwing away all speech cards and practicing saying N in sentences while playing natural games!

However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Rice Lake:
ECMWF 6z/18z (3 days), ECMWF IFS HRES (5 days), GFS (5 days), GEM (5 days), ACCESS-G (5 days), ICON (5 days), NORWAY (5 days), Serbian MOS (5 days)
This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Rice Lake.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.
Current weather - Here we've put together a glance at all the most important information about the current weather in Rice Lake (Jefferson County, Washington, United States). You can see with the radar HD if precipitation is falling at the moment, or headed towards Rice Lake soon. You can also see where there are thunderstorms currently ongoing, as well as where thunderstorms have occurred in recent weeks and months with our lightning analysis tool. Our HD satellite images of Rice Lake will show you whether there's sunshine currently in the area, or if clouds are making for a more gloomy day. Finally, current observations will tell you what current temperatures look like around Rice Lake at the moment, as well as if it's humid and/or windy.
Forecast for the next few days - The weather forecast for Rice Lake is available in several different versions, all clearly and simply displayed here on the Weather Rice Lake page. For the short term, we have data based on a single weather model that is known to deliver the best forecast for Rice Lake. For the longer term, we have forecasts for the next two weeks based on an analysis of many different possible forecast outcomes that will give you a sense of not just what's most likely, but how the forecast could change in future updates as we get closer to any given date. If the range of possible outcomes is narrow, you can have high confidence in the forecast. If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome. We also have other products such as Meteograms and Forecast XL elsewhere on our site to give you additional options for figuring out the forecast for Rice Lake.

Russia is warning that a U.S. strike on Syria's atomic facilities might result in a nuclear catastrophe and is urging the U.N. to present a risk analysis of such a scenario.
The warning comes from Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich. He said in a statement Wednesday that a strike on a miniature reactor near Damascus or other nuclear installations could contaminate the region with radioactivity, adding: "The consequences could be catastrophic."
IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor told the AP in an email Thursday that her agency is ready to "consider the questions raised" by Lukashevich if it receives a formal request to do so from Moscow.
Russia's Interfax news agency says that Moscow intends to bring up the issue at next week's 35-nation IAEA board meeting.

As previously reported, the key event of the weekend was the east Ukraine independence referendum which, as expected, passed by a landslide. Of course, the outcome of the referendum itself was largely irrelevant: all that mattered was that it happened, and that it gave the Kremlin the necessary and sufficient justification to intervene and enter the eastern territory when so needed. And hours ago, in its first official statement on the referendum, the Kremlin said Monday "it respects the secession referendum in eastern Ukraine and hopes for a "civilized implementation" of the results through talks between Kiev and representatives in the east." In other words, at least in the eyes of Putin, Ukraine no longer has a legitimate claim to remain in east Ukraine.
Pro-Russian separatists declared victory in Sunday's vote, ratcheting up tensions between the West and Moscow. In its first comments since the referendum, the Kremlin appears to challenge the West and Kiev's standpoint that it was illegitimate. (Read the latest updates on the crisis in Ukraine.)The Kremlin said in a statement that Moscow welcomes all possible efforts to start negotiations between Kiev and separatist regions with the involvement of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development."Moscow views with respect the expression of the will of the people of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and expects that the practical implementation of the outcome of the referendums will be carried out in a civilized manner without any recurrence of violence, through dialogue between representatives of Kiev, Donetsk and Luhansk," the statement said.
And while the EU promptly proceeded with another round of largely meaningless sanctions, announced moments ago...
... Russia continued to rub it in, when soon after the Kremlin statement was released, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov read it aloud during a live television broadcast. Mr. Lavrov said that Moscow sees no sense in a new round of four-way meetings akin to the Geneva talks in April between Russia, Ukraine, the U.S. and the EU, saying the Kiev government instead needs to directly negotiate with representatives of its eastern regions.
Following the Kremlin statement, Donetsk was ecstatic:
"This is great news, very happy news. Excellent, excellent," Miroslav Rudenko, one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said in response to the Kremlin's statement, which rebels in Ukraine's southeast see as a sign of support.
And while we previously reported that a Russian annexation vote (coupled with the implementation of the Ruble as currency), could come as early as next weekend, for now things are not quite clear on how long until Russia becomes the de facto land owner:
Mr. Rudenko described as unlikely the Crimea scenario—in which Russia quickly followed up a popular referendum with annexation—and said the Donetsk People's Republic therefore would take steps to develop as a sovereign state. Those include "integration steps" such as joining a Kremlin-run customs union with former Soviet republics and building relations with the neighboring Luhansk People's Republic, he said.A poll by Kiev International Sociology Institute showed last month that less than a quarter of the people polled like the idea of federalization of Ukraine. This idea was supported more widely in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
To be sure Donetsk now can afford to wait - all it needs are a few more provocations by the Ukraine army to make up Kremlin's mind for it. One party whose time may have run out, however, is the Kiev government, whose IMF lifeline was conditional on keeping the country together. It failed. And now we wait to see what the IMF response will be since it is Russia, not the west, which continues to win the proxy war in Ukraine.

Police: Teacher accused of sexually assaulting student fled country | News
WHEATON, Md. (WUSA9) -- A teacher accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy with autism has fled the country, according to Montgomery County Police.
Police say on November 11 they started investigating allegations that 25-year-old Yee Tak Sharon Kui of Rockville, who taught at Frost School in Wheaton, assaulted the boy. According to police: "The Frost School is a private special education school which serves children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disabilities, autism spectrum disorders and related special needs."
Minister Ronald Harding bravely stepped to the microphone with his wife to describe his son's reaction. They were driving past the Frost School in Rockville, where he was a student of Kui on their way to report his alleged abuse at her hands to child protective services.
"He began literally ripping pieces of the door panel off the inside of our car. It's challenging for him because with autism, he does not display his emotions. But he feels them deeper than most of us."
They had struggled for years to find the right school for the autistic by high functioning 15-year-old. But police now believe that while his parents were at church, Kui sent salacious text messages and then twice came to their home and had sex with the child.
"The audacity of what happened in our home while we were at church."
"This was a particularly disturbing case. Our victim is a child, and a child of special needs. He should have been nurtured and protected by his teacher," officials said.
Someone in Kui's Rockville apartment declined to talk to WUSA9, but police say Hong Kong is exactly where the alleged abuser is now. Early in the morning after they searched her home and obtained an arrest warrant, she took a flight from New York to China.
"I think the Chinese government will have sufficient investigative leads to try and locate her. I don't think it's a matter of if, it's a matter of when," Police said.
The Frost School says as soon as it found out about the text messages between Kui, a manager called her in, suspended, and then terminated her. It was that meeting that alerted her she was in deep trouble. And sent her fleeing to China before police had a chance to sweep her up.
Kui is accused of going twice to the boy's home while his parents were out of the house and then engaging him in illegal sexual contact, say police. She faces two counts of Third Degree Sex Offense, Sex Abuse of a Minor, and Sexual Solicitation of a Minor.
Police say an investigation conducted with the United States Department of Homeland Security revealed Kui fled to Hong Kong to avoid prosecution.

Former Employee of Compton Community College Charged with Stealing Federal Student Aid Money
LOS ANGELES – A former financial aid officer at Compton Community College has been indicted on federal charges related to a scheme that sought financial aid for "students" who did not attend classes at the school and led to losses of more than $50,000.
Millicent Cook, 46, of Paramount, was arrested by federal authorities on March 11 after being indicted on four counts of theft of student assistance funds.
A second person named in the indictment – Gwendolyn Renae Harris, 39, of Long Beach, who did not work at the school – surrendered yesterday to federal authorities.
An indictment returned by a federal grand jury on February 25 alleges that Cook and Harris applied for Pell Grants, a form of federal financial aid, using the names and social security numbers of "students" they recruited to help them in the scheme. The recruits never attended classes at Compton Community College and, therefore, were not entitled to receive the Pell Grants. Once the Pell Grants were funded, Cook and Harris supplied a portion of the money to the "students" and then used the rest of the money for their own personal expenses.
The scheme allegedly ran from early 2003 to late 2006, when it was discovered during an audit of the community college. Investigators currently estimate that the scheme caused losses of $56,064 to the U.S. Department of Education.
After surrendering yesterday, Harris was freed on a $5,000 bond. After Cook was arrested on March 11, she was freed on a $5,000 bond. Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges in the indictment.
Cook and Harris are currently scheduled to go to trial in May.
The charge of theft of student assistance funds carries a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
This investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Education - Office of Inspector General.

Efficient storage
Getting the most from your storage system is a basic requirement, but with many efficiency techniques you'll have to decide if performance tops capacity utilization.
Getting the most from your storage system is a basic requirement, but with many efficiency techniques you'll have to decide if performance tops capacity utilization.
A challenging economy may have been the original impetus for improving the efficiency of installed storage systems, but now it's just a way of life for data storage managers. Dismal disk capacity utilization of well under 50% and underutilized storage controllers with only a fraction of their processing resources tapped is increasingly unacceptable in most IT shops. Inefficient storage operations have become a sore spot in data centers where server consolidation and virtualization have been able to maximize the use of physical server resources.
Server virtualization has not only set an efficiency precedence that storage systems must follow, it's coercing storage systems to become more efficient. Utilization of a storage array that lacks the ability to allocate capacity and storage resources granularly declines as the number of servers connected to it increases. To maximize the impact of data center consolidation, server virtualization and efficient storage must go hand-in-hand.
Storage efficiency is a combination of maximizing the use of both available storage capacity and processing resources, which often turn out to be competing efforts. "In order to achieve a required number of IOPS, a storage system may be designed with a very large number of spindles with dismal capacity utilization and, vice versa, very high capacity utilization achieved by leveraging thin technologies, [such as] compression and deduplication, [which] may have adverse performance implications," said Greg Schulz, founder and senior analyst at Stillwater, Minn.-based StorageIO. Achieving efficient storage requires a balancing act of optimizing the utilization of available resources (capacity and processing power), performance and cost under the governing boundaries of application requirements.
The fundamentals of storage efficiency
Performance optimization of a storage system requires maximizing storage processing resource utilization while minimizing storage system congestion. As processing utilization increases, the remaining processing resources and the ability to serve additional requests decreases; if that buffer is too small, the likelihood of hitting a performance limit increases. For instance, an array that operates at 50% average performance utilization is less likely to hit performance limits than one that has an 80% average utilization.
Reporting, monitoring and storage analytics that come with storage systems, or are available as add-ons from array vendors or third-parties, are critical components to optimizing performance utilization and adding processing resources as needed, rather than oversizing an array or reacting after the fact. "Whether it's performance or capacity, measuring metrics and knowing what you have through tools from storage vendors or third parties is the most important thing," Schulz said.
These tools not only help identify performance issues, they're important in determining the appropriate cure. Performance of a storage system isn't determined by a single metric but by a combination of factors that affect how fast data can be served to apps. IOPS, throughput and latency are the key factors, but they vary depending on the workload (random vs. sequential), block size (large vs. small) and transaction type (read vs. write), and their relevance and impact on performance is application dependent. For instance, when streaming video applications, fast sequential reads of bigger files and larger blocks prevail, but randomized reads are usually the predominant transactions found in virtualized environments.
We'll now look at techniques for optimizing performance and storage resource utilization. Since there isn't a magic storage bullet, each approach has its merits and disadvantages.
Add more disk drives for more performance
Disk drives are mechanical devices in which read and write heads move between the center and periphery of a fast rotating platter to find and access data. Even with the fastest disk drives that operate at 15,000 rpm and the time it takes for mechanical arms to reposition, latency adds up to a few milliseconds, limiting the number of IOPS per disk to a few hundred per second and throughput to less than 100 MBps.
One way to scale performance is by spreading data across multiple disks that work in unison when data is accessed, enhancing the number of IOPS and throughput proportionally to the number of disks involved. Additionally, array vendors have implemented techniques like short stroking to minimize arm movements. By placing data on the periphery of a platter, read-write head movements are greatly reduced, resulting in a significant performance boost. While a given performance goal can be achieved with a large number of disks and short stroking, it's very costly and by only using the outer parts of platters storage utilization is dismal. Prior to the emergence of solid-state drives (SSDs), leveraging a large number of disks and methods like short stroking were used to meet high-performance requirements, and even today it's used for applications where the high cost of solid-state storage still favors disk drives over SSD. "For sequential access of larger blocks and files, disk is usually more cost-effective," said Mike Riley, director of strategy and technology of America sales at NetApp.
RAID and wide-striping
Easily overlooked, RAID and RAID levels both impact performance and capacity; changing the RAID level of an existing array to improve either performance or capacity utilization is a feasible option. The number of parity drives, large vs. smaller stripes, the size of RAID groups, and the block size within RAID groups all impact performance and available capacity.
While the characteristics of standard RAID levels are well known (see "RAID levels and their impact on performance and capacity utilization," above), there are a couple of lesser known trends that deserve special attention in an efficient storage discussion. To start with, the size of a RAID group impacts performance, availability and capacity. Usually, larger RAID groups with a higher number of disks are faster, but require more time to rebuild in case of a disk failure. With high-capacity disks doubling in size every few years, rebuild times are increasing and the risk of more than one drive failing rises. Even though RAID 6 with its dual-parity drives reduces the risk by permitting two concurrent disk failures with some performance penalty, a better approach is eliminating dedicated parity drives. For instance, NetApp's Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) distribute data, parity information and spare capacity across a pool of drives, and utilize every drive in the pool for the intensive process of rebuilding a failed drive. Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co.'s 3PAR storage systems deploy a technique called wide striping that stripes data across a larger number of disks and subdivides disks' raw storage capacity within this pool into small "chunklets." The 3PAR volume manager uses these "chunklets" to form micro-RAIDs with parity "chunklets." Because all "chunklets" of a single micro-RAID are located on different drives and are small in size, the risk and performance impact during drive failures and subsequent rebuilds is minimized.
Solid-state storage
Without question, the advent of solid-state storage has been a disruptive event that has given storage system vendors a completely new set of options to optimize both performance and capacity. With an order of magnitude less latency (microseconds vs. milliseconds) and several orders of magnitude higher number of IOPS (north of 10,000 vs. a few hundred) than disk drives, flash (and more often a combination of hard disks and flash) is giving storage managers a cost-effective alternative to the traditional approach of spreading data across a large number of disks to achieve high storage performance. Best suited for applications with a large number of random reads, such as hypervisors, solid-state storage is less adept for sequential access of larger blocks and large files.
"Flash is still an order of magnitude more expensive than high-end disk drives and it's therefore important to use it wisely and deploy it for the right tasks," said Eric Herzog, senior vice president, product management and marketing for EMC's Unified Storage Division.
Today, solid-state storage can be deployed in three ways:
Solid-state disks in place of mechanical disks. Replacing disk drives with SSDs is the simplest way of boosting array performance. When opting for this route, however, it's crucial to verify with the array vendor the impact of SSD drives on the array and to heed the vendor's guidelines. SSDs can wreak havoc on a storage system if the storage system's processors can't support the high performance of the solid-state storage. A performance problem can quickly turn from bad to worse if SSDs overwhelm storage controllers. Another issue relates to the mechanics of how and when data is moved to and off solid-state drives. In its simplest and least preferable form, SSD can be allocated manually to certain applications, such as database log files. While this may be the only option for older arrays, more automated mechanisms, such as EMC's Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST), are preferable.
Flash as cache on storage systems. Using flash as cache to extend the relatively small DRAM cache avoids many of the challenges associated with substituting disk drives with SSD drives. Since a flash cache is part of the storage system architecture, storage controllers are designed to support whatever amount of flash the array permits. Flash as cache also resolves the tiering challenge. By definition, a cache will always contain the most active data while stale data resides on mechanical disks. While solid-state drives only benefit data that resides on SSD, a flash cache benefits all data that traverses the storage system. It's difficult to find any drawbacks of a flash cache, but one of its downsides is that it's only an option in newer arrays. Complementing high-capacity drives with flash cache is becoming a more common storage architecture choice because it enables arrays that combine both high capacity and high performance.
"By adding 2% to 3% of SSD to a disk-based array, you can almost double the throughput," said Ron Riffe, business line manager, storage software at IBM.
Flash in servers. The closer data is to server processors and memory, the better the storage performance. Placing flash storage in servers via PCIe cards from the likes of Fusion-io yields optimal storage performance. On the downside, flash storage in servers usually isn't shared and can only be used by applications that reside on the server, and it's very expensive. Nevertheless, extending storage into servers is actively pursued by NetApp, with an initiative to make Data Ontap available to run on hypervisors, as well as EMC with its VFCache, formerly known as Project Lightning. It's obviously the goal of both vendors to provide a very high-performance, server-side flash storage tier that integrates seamlessly with their external storage systems.
Storage acceleration appliances
Storage acceleration devices are placed between servers and storage systems with the intent of either increasing performance or providing additional storage services, such as virtualization. Because most of them work with existing heterogeneous storage systems, they should be on anyone's evaluation list when battling a storage efficiency or performance problem. Moreover, their ability to boost performance of existing arrays and pull existing heterogeneous storage into a single storage pool helps extend the life of existing storage systems while providing an overall increase in storage performance and lowering storage costs.
The recently released IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center is a prime example of a product in this category. It combines storage virtualization, leveraging the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) software, storage analytics and management into a single product. It gathers heterogeneous physical storage arrays into a single virtualized storage pool, and supports thin provisioning of volumes from this pool; it recognizes and supports flash in attached storage systems but also allows adding flash to the SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center itself. It identifies high I/O data and hotspots via real-time storage analytics and automatically moves data from disk drives to flash and vice versa. These capabilities enable SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center to significantly increase performance and capacity utilization of existing heterogeneous storage systems. While IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center is block-based, file system-based acceleration devices are available from the likes of Alacritech and Avere Systems.
Increasing capacity utilization
Maximizing the use of available disk space is accomplished through the use of thin technologies, such as thin provisioning and thin clones, compression and data deduplication. All these techniques have a common goal of not storing duplicate data while maximizing referencing of existing blocks of data. While thin technologies have little impact on storage performance, deduplication and compression usually do and should therefore only be turned on if the performance impact is clearly understood and acceptable.
Performance and capacity: Inseparable
Storage performance and capacity utilization are joined at the hip, and improving one often has adverse implications for the other. Storage analytics and reporting of actual array performance is a prerequisite for identifying chokepoints and remedying them appropriately. Typically, improving storage efficiency comes down to balancing performance requirements and cost.

Okay folks, last day of tardy Autorama coverage. I'm going to go all out and provide a show-centric post every hour, on the hour. Why? So that all you slackers suffering through a Friday in the confines of your cubicles can keep from going insane waiting till five o'clock rolls around. See if you can hang on to your seats. I've saved
the best for last the leftovers for week's end.
Vespa, maker of iconic scooters, apparently fancied a run at the American automobile market at one time in its life. Unfortunately a compact two seater powered by a two-cylinder power unit wasn't really what the market was asking for in 1960. These are very nice examples nonetheless. The designers of this model later found success in the sales and marketing of Micro Machines. I'm not going to lie, I thought about putting one in my pocket and walking out without paying.

Mr. Speaker, last week Selva Subbiah, one of the most hideous serial rapists in Canada, was convicted of raping more than 20 Canadian women. These innocent victims were drugged, threatened and sexually assaulted by this evil man. He was sentenced to 20 years in jail and according to published accounts, the presiding
judge has ordered the investigating officers to escort Subbiah to the airport for deportation when he is released. In essence, after serving the sentence, he will be deported back to his native Malaysia.
Canadian tax dollars should not be spent to keep this evil person in our prisons. Even if his lawyer files an appeal, it should be heard in his absence.
The justice minister should immediately make arrangements to deport this convicted criminal and send him back to his country of origin. It is time for the federal government to get tough on individuals like Subbiah.

NASA infrared data revealed the birth of Tropical Storm Zane
Infrared data indicates temperatures of cloud tops and the surface of the sea beneath tropical cyclones, and NASA's AIRS instrument captured an infrared look at low pressure area System 92P in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean that hinted it was rapidly developing into Tropical Cyclone Zane. Zane is expected to make landfall in northeastern Queensland on May 1 at cyclone strength.
The infrared image of System 92P was taken from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite on April 29 at 1505 UTC (11:05 a.m. EDT). The AIRS data showed that strong convection and thunderstorms were wrapping into the center of circulation in a large band south of the center. The strong thunderstorms in that southern band and around the low pressure area's center of circulation had cloud top temperatures colder than -63 Fahrenheit (-52 Celsius), which indicated they were high in the troposphere and likely dropping heavy rainfall.
System 92P went on to consolidate and organize more since the AIRS image and by the early morning hours (EDT) of April 30, the storm strengthened into Tropical Storm Zane. Infrared imagery from AIRS on April 30 indicated a 100 nautical-mile (115.1 mile/185.2 km) diameter central dense overcast feature with a 6-nautical mile (6.9 miles/11.1 km) cloud-filled eye, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Willis Island radar imagery showed the eye feature with tightly-curved banding over the southern semi-circle.
At 0900 UTC (5 a.m. EDT) on April 30, Tropical Storm Zane was packing maximum sustained winds near 60 knots (69 mph/111 kph), and is expected to strengthen before making landfall on May 1 on the Cape York Peninsula. Zane was located near 14.0 south latitude and 148.8 east longitude, about 135 nautical miles (155.4 miles/250 km) north-northwest of Willis Island, Australia. Zane is moving to the west-southwest at 7 knots (8 mph/13 kph).
Warnings are already in effect for Queensland, Australia as Zane begins its approach. A Cyclone Warning is in effect for coastal areas from Orford Ness to Cape Tribulation. A Cyclone Watch is in effect for coastal areas from Mapoon to Orford Ness, including the Torres Strait Islands.
The forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center expect Zane to track to the west-northwest and cross the Cape York Peninsula on May 1 and then emerge into the Gulf of Carpentaria. At this time, Zane isn't expected to make a second landfall in Australia and is forecast to pass through the Arafura Sea.

Smoked Oak Veneer are produced by exposing European Oak Veneers to ammonia (NH3) fumes in a closed cubicle. In this process, Veneer obtains a weathered appearance and on completion of the entire process, the color obtained is in contrast to other untreated or dyed wood/veneer. The final veneer obtained are almost resistant to ageing and the effects of light. Also the physical properties of the wood are improved by the end i.e. it becomes more elastic, less brittle and easier to work and process.
Because of the manufacturing process, one side of the smoked oak veneer tends to be darker than the other, and there this veneer is not supplied bookmatched, but slipmatched, reverse slipmatched or random matched.

Redondo Beach. The lovely rays of the sun sunk into the Pacific as we sat on the enclosed patio of the newly rebuilt area of Kincaid's Restaurant celebrating American cuisine drinking their Schramsberg Blanc de Noir champagne. According to General Manager, Reggie Thomas, there are very few beach restaurants with porches where you can observe the ocean and watch the sunrise and sunset.
On its fifteenth year anniversary, opening in 1999, executive chef Lance Corralez prepared specialties of the house for over 40 guests as manager Lora Cawelti also welcomed us.
As the evening breezes washed over us, we enjoyed deviled organic eggs with crème fraiche and caviar (delicious with a hint of spice), prosciutto on rosemary skew with persimmon, and crispy rice with spicy tuna (also with a hint of spice.) It was paired with a grapevine cocktail treat and ciroc vodka.
Our second course was the rotisserie pancetta chicken salad with pomegranate vinaigrette.
Then paired with Light and Sunny feat - Woodford Reserve RUI Private Label, we were served seared Ahi with Wasabo Aioli and asiago crusted halibut cheek with scallop butter.
During the meal we were serenaded by musicians Aragorn and Olivia.
Tomato Bisque with Oregon crab was served next, along with coconut prawn and orange marmalade. I especially enjoyed the kale Caesar salad. Our wine was Squealing Pig Sauvignon Blanc. Then paired with Jordan Chardonnay, the chef served us truffle risotto with lobster tail, miso cod with Asian slaw and grilled sockeye with fennel slaw.
Jordon Cabernet Sauvignon accompanied by filet mignon with smoked mushrooms and grilled New York on scallop potato with blue cheese butter.
The deserts were the best -- Kincaid's famous Key Lime pie, along with Godiva chocolate explosion cake with salted caramel ice cream. These were paired with Graham's Tawny Port. After all that alcohol, I truly enjoyed their specialty coffee.
The restaurant, known for its exquisite fish dishes and extensive wine list, is located at the edge of Redondo Beach's Fisherman's Wharf. Reservations can be made at 310 318 6080. Limited street parking is available, but there is parking for the wharf. Kincaid's is one of the few beach restaurants with patios where you can indulge yourself with the sunset while eating. Prices were medium to upper range, and you can expect to spend $60-70 without the wine. There were so many delicious choices on the menu, I would have gladly stayed longer and enjoyed more treats.
They have a great Sunday ala carte brunch, which you might want to check out. Almost everything that we were served is available at the restaurant and the chef seemed very accommodating when people had special requests. There are several sister restaurants of Kincaid's around the city and other parts of the country, but I am sure there were none as lovely as this place. Should you decide to come on a special day - as the 4th of July - you would have house seats for the great firework spectacular. The restaurant is open every day except Super Bowl Sunday, when they close early to give their workers time off to enjoy themselves, as well. Anyone that takes care of their people that well has my vote. I'll definitely be back soon.
