By late 1973, President Nixon had become one of the most unpopular presidents in the history of the United States. As a candidate, Richard Nixon had promised to end the nation's participation in the Vietnam War. Instead, during his Presidency, the United States invaded Cambodia and intensified bombings in North Vietnam. These actions were largely seen as both disastrous and illegal. President Nixon had used government agencies to illegally spy on United States citizens. The President also hired people to burglarize the homes of his political opponents. The American Civil Liberties Union drew up a resolution calling for the impeachment of the President for "high crimes and misdemeanors". This document was reprinted in "The Greenfield Recorder" at the request of a local western Massachusetts citizen. Ultimately, rather than face a trial before the United States Senate, Richard Nixon resigned the presidency after the House of Representatives, in July of 1974, drafted official Articles of Impeachment.

We have days where we love to get up and face the day.
As we go through this journey of life, the older we get, the days become more valuable and treasured for us. The days are filled with memories that will take us through a lifetime and there are days we wish we could just forget. We meet wonderful people along the way and of course, not so wonderful people, as we travel through this journey of life and let's face it, we do.
We have days where we love to get up and face the day. We have a job we face everyday and if we love our job, it is well worth our trouble to go through this journey of life. If we don't like our job, our work life is miserable, let's face it, and life is just too short for that to happen.
Everyone in this day and age knows that one day, you are going to have bad days and the next day, you are going to have a good day. It is just Murphy's Law, as everyone says. It is also just human nature; these things are going to happen. My bad day and good day just happened to occur on Halloween and the day after Halloween, which meant they were together. This made it extra nice.
After a day of deadlines, going to the neighborhood schools and businesses to take photos of the little ones and big ones in costumes, the day started to wear on me. Anyway, that is my job and I love it. Life is such a challenge and we all make the best of it, whatever that challenge will be. That is what makes our life worth getting up for every morning.
Then at noon, I was going to lunch to the Kiwanis Club. I was having trouble with the door and it closing and locking. I tried a couple of times to no avail. I tried the third time and it locked but the sad thing is that my folder I had between my left arm fell to the ground and, in the rain and wind, blew all over the parking lot to the golf course. It was like a nightmare that wouldn't end. The only good thing about this was my friend, Ryan Eagle, came to the rescue. At least I had help in the rain and blowing wind. I just couldn't believe it. I was so tired when it was all over.
I had my lunch. I was very quiet. I sometimes do that, it is just very rare. I was probably in shock that my few minutes was spent chasing my papers all over the golf course. There was one thing that was good —the folder that was thrown all over the golf course didn't have many valuable papers, only one and that was saved. That was the good thing. At least something good came out of that seven long hours. That is what I have called it now.
The next day was much better, indeed. I occasionally attend the book club at the library and I wanted to attend the lunch hour then because Susan Miller Williams, a native of Stuttgart and a writer like me, was going to be the guest there. She has written two books on historical facts and historical people in and around the Charleston, S.C. area.
Williams, who is also a teacher, was telling us the joy of her writing and the joy of reading. I was having a wonderful hour of listening to another writer talk about the subject I enjoy so much. Writers like to hear from other writers and find out what ticks in our mind, which really is entirely from some of the other people in the room. That is what creativity will do for you. It is always nice to hear from others like you.
The reason I am telling you this, is the different relations of one day to another and how we look forward to the different days. These days were back to back and didn't even resemble one another, but they are days that we grab onto because they are unlike no other. That is why we love life.

Disney, Sears Used Factory In Fire [VIDEO]
Order books and clothing found at a Bangladeshi factory where a fire killed 112 people show that it was making clothing for Disney Pixar, Wal-Mart, Sears and other Western brands.
The Associated Press discovered clothing and records connected to the retailers today while police announced the arrests of three factory officials who are suspected of locking doomed workers in the building.
Piles of children's shorts from Wal-Mart's Faded Glory brand were found among the charred equipment at the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory. Blue and off-white shorts from rap star Sean Combs ENYCE label were piled on the floor and stacked in cartons.
Entries in account books in the abandoned factory showed it took orders in recent months to produce clothes for Disney and Sears, despite the factory's spotty safety record.

take it slow
I sorted out my trims & ribbons box.
I spent two days in bed, sick!
I made two more flowers for the flowergarden dollquilt.
I found three house blocks made from scraps (they were hiding in the scrap box).
One day they will end up in a quilt like this one below!
Photo from the book "Little quilts all through the house"
Well that's about it, I'm not planning on doing much more this week!
Only one thing... reading blogs, many blogs, I'm way behind!
p.s. And for those who still wonder what the pink peek from a few posts back was, and haven't seen it on Nicolette's blog, yet. Inspiration came from a painting Nicolette made for me.

I love the trims in your box. I've always loved trim. When I lived in Germany I had a cape that had lots of beautiful trim and my daughter had a little, bitty cape with trim.
I received the heart I bought from your shop today and the workmanship on it is PERFECT!! There's not one thread out of place. I'm really fussy and I'd give you an A+++ on this.
Feel better and enjoy your blog reading.

Insulin Replacement Therapy
Insulin Replacement Therapy
Insulin replacement therapy and type 1 and 2 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks the cells that make insulin. This results in no or very little insulin. Type 1 diabetes is also called insulin-dependent diabetes. It usually happens at a younger age. It often starts before age 30. Treatment for type 1 diabetes includes getting daily multiple injections of insulin or using an insulin pump.
Type 2 diabetes typically means the body cannot make enough insulin for the amount of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means the body cannot use insulin the way it should. Treatment often begins with an exercise program and a healthy diet to help lower the blood sugar levels. But if this treatment plan doesn't work, you may need medicine. Medicines for diabetes may be pills or injections.
What is insulin?
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. It helps lower the blood sugar by moving sugar from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. Once inside the cells, blood sugar becomes the main source of energy for the body.
What are the different types of insulin?
There are 4 types of insulin. Each works in specific ways.
How quickly the insulin starts to work after it is injected
Peak time
The period of time when the insulin helps most to lower blood sugar levels
How long the insulin keeps working in the body
Insulin may act differently when given to different people, so the times of onset, peak time, and duration may vary. The 4 types of insulin are:
Insulin type
Peak time
Rapid acting, Lispro, Aspart, Glulisine insulin
15 minutes
1 hour
2 to 4 hours
Short acting, Regular (R) insulin
30 minutes
2 to 3 hours
3 to 6 hours
Intermediate acting, NPH (N) or Lente (L) insulin
2 to 4 hours
4 to 12 hours
12 to 18 hours
Long acting, Glargine, Detemir insulin
1 to several hours
24 hours
Source: American Diabetes Association
Some people with diabetes may need to take 2 different types of insulin to control their blood sugar levels. Some insulin can be bought already mixed together, such as Regular and NPH insulin. This lets you inject both types of insulin at the same time. Other types of insulin cannot be mixed together and may need 2 separate injections.
Insulin is made at different strengths. U-100 insulin (100 units of insulin per milliliter of fluid) is the most common strength. The syringes for giving insulin are different for each different strength. This means a U-100 syringe can be used only with U-100 insulin.
Most recently, an inhaled form of insulin has become available. This is a form of rapid-acting insulin.
The type of insulin chosen may reflect your choice and how well you are able to follow any given treatment. Other factors include:
Your type of diabetes--whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
Your daily schedule of meals, work, and activity
How willing you are to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly
How much exercise you get each day
How well you understand diabetes
How stable your blood sugar levels are
Your diet
How is insulin given?
Insulin has to enter the body's bloodstream to work. It gets into the bloodstream by injecting it into the fat layer, usually in the arm, thigh, or belly. Different sites on the body allow the insulin to enter the blood at different rates. Insulin injected into the abdominal wall works the fastest. Injecting it into the thigh works the slowest. Insulin must be given by injection. It cannot be taken by mouth because it is destroyed in the stomach during digestion.
The timing of insulin injections is very important. Rapid or short-acting insulin usually needs to be given before mealtimes, or before sugar from a meal starts to enter the bloodstream. Always talk with your healthcare provider about your own insulin treatment. He or she can tell you where to inject the insulin, how much to inject and how often. Your provider can tell you the times of day you should take it. Long-acting insulin should be taken at the same time every day, but your meal times can be flexible. Intermediate-acting insulin or mixed insulin needs to be taken at the same time every day along with a fixed eating schedule.
What are the different types of insulin injection devices?
Many types of insulin injection devices are available. Some examples of devices include:
The syringe is the most common device used to give insulin. The needle of the syringe is placed under the skin, and the insulin is injected.
Insulin pen
An insulin pen is like a preloaded syringe that can be used multiple times. It is often used for multiple, daily doses of insulin. The insulin pen holds a cartridge with insulin. The pen looks like a writing pen. It has a small needle that can be screwed on at the tip. A dial on the pen lets you set the right dose. A plunger on the other end of the pen is used to actually deliver or inject the insulin.
Insulin jet injector
An insulin jet injector looks like a large pen. The injector makes high-pressure air to "spray" the insulin through the skin.
External insulin pump
An insulin pump is a device that pumps insulin continuously through plastic tubing. The tubing is attached to a needle under the skin near the belly. It can also inject a "bolus" of insulin as needed. The pump is small enough to be worn on a belt or in a pocket.
Insulin by mouth
Because insulin is quickly broken down during digestion, it has always been given by injection, usually just under the skin. But new medicines and techniques may protect insulin from being broken down in the digestive tract.
The first trials of oral insulin in people were reported in 2006. Phase I clinical trials have shown that insulin given in a gel capsule may be safe and work well. Clinical trials will continue over the next several years as the medicine moves through the federal approval process.
Pancreas transplant
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas makes too little insulin or none at all. Replacing a pancreas with a healthy transplanted pancreas would seem to be a cure for type 1 diabetes.
In the 1960s, pancreas transplants were first attempted. But it was not until the surgical techniques improved and new medicines were developed years later that pancreas transplants became a realistic treatment for type 1 diabetes. Pancreas transplants continue to be studied at many centers in the U.S. and around the world. It is the standard treatment in certain cases.
When successful, a pancreas transplant cures diabetes, or at least reduces the number of severe episodes of low and high blood glucose. Blood sugar levels become normal because the new pancreas makes insulin. But as with most types of solid organ transplants, complications may happen. The most common complications include rejection of the new organ, infection, and harmful effects from the antirejection medicines that must be taken for life after the transplant.
Pancreas transplants can be done in 3 ways:
Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant (SPK). Most people with type 1 diabetes who meet the criteria for pancreas transplant also have kidney disease. So surgeons often transplant both a pancreas and a kidney at the same time. The best success rates have been achieved with this type of procedure.
Pancreas after kidney transplant (PAK). In this procedure, a pancreas is transplanted into a person who has already received a kidney transplant. This procedure generally has a success rate near that of SPK procedures.
Pancreas transplant alone (PTA). In this procedure, only the pancreas is transplanted. This type of procedure is done less often. It generally has a lower success rate than the other procedure types.
Pancreas islet cell transplantation
The islet cells in the pancreas make insulin. Only about 1% to 2% of the cells in the pancreas are islet cells.
In the 1970s, research into islet cell transplants in mice was very successful. But transplants in people were not as successful. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, developed a special way of transplanting the islet cells that shows great promise. Research continues on the Edmonton Protocol, in a multicenter trial being done by the Immune Tolerance Network. Sponsors for the Immune Tolerance Network are the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Islet cell transplants are a noninvasive procedure. This means no incision is needed. Islet cells are taken from a donor pancreas and then injected into the recipient's liver through a long, thin tube catheter). Once the islet cells have been implanted in the donor, they begin to make and release insulin. But the failure rates are high after the first year or two.
People who get an islet cell transplant must take antirejection medicine to protect the transplanted islets from being rejected and destroyed by the body's normal immune system.
Insurance and insulin pumps
Be sure to check with your insurance company to find out if blood glucose monitoring equipment and insulin pumps are covered under your plan. Medicare has covered the cost of insulin pumps since 1999.

Fruit tree steward, neighborhood recycling guru, and overall swell neighbor, Barb Burrill, shared a recent adventure in the Wallingford urban orchard:
A couple of weeks ago while walking home from my son's school, I noticed a bunch of lime-like fruits lying on the ground and sidewalk beneath a huge tree. Some had split open and looked like what might be black walnuts. I remember finding a funny-looking nut shell when I was a child and learning from my mom that it was a black walnut. I took two samples home and verified that, yep, that's what they were.
I returned to the neighbor's house, left a note asking if I could have some of the fallen fruit, and a few days later met the woman who lives there: Angie Dixon, a delightful tree lover, parent, Whidbey Island hayfield owner, and artist (www.angiedixonartist.com). Oh, and she collects children's books.
I had in mind a local food company that might use local black walnuts in their creations, and I was hoping I could interest others, ideally in Wallingford. So I thought I'd figure out how to get to those nuts inside.
Through my web and email research I discovered, though, that black walnuts are notoriously difficult to shell. Tips I received ranged from driving over them with a car to using a cement mixer with gravel and water.
Undeterred, my son and I visited Angie again and collected some black walnuts. I squeezed off the outer hulls if they were already split; if not, my son stomped on the fruit to open them. Our take was 11 1/2 pounds of nuts in the shell. I left the five gallon bucket full of husks at Angie's house. An artist named Deb who lives north of Green Lake came by later in the week and picked them up to make textile dye.
Back home I scrubbed and rinsed the nuts in buckets outdoors, creating my own stainworthy blackish water. Then I dried the nuts in my gas oven (pilot light only or 110 degrees) for 48 hours. Now the nuts are hanging in mesh bags in our basement where they will cure for two weeks.
But how to get these nuts open! A regular nutcracker is worthless against black walnut shells. I used a hammer – but smashed the nutmeats. Then I found a nutcracker on Craigslist that was guaranteed to do the job. Slow pressure, a metal gripper bar and the nut shells split neatly in two. Use a wire cutter to open up the inner compartments to remove the nut meats (excellent tip in a YouTube video from Ontario, Canada).
Angie and I want to plant some of the seeds to keep the tasty nuts coming. These are American native, long-lived, tall trees – don't put them in the planting strip. Plus black walnut tree roots secrete a hormone that can harm many plants.
So – does anyone else have black walnuts to donate? Or want to help shell them for a share of the nuts? Needless to say, this is not a task for the timid. But you foragers know who you are – it's the thrill of the hunt.
Is it worth the trouble? Let your taste buds be the judge. As for me, I'm making sustainably-grown, locally harvested incredibly yummy black walnut ice cream for Thanksgiving.

MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid warmed up for Wednesday's Champions League game against Juventus with victory in La Liga when Cristiano Ronaldo's stoppage-time penalty set the seal on a 2-0 win at home to Malaga on Saturday.
It was hardly the sparkling performance coach Carlo Ancelotti wanted to dispel doubts about Real's stuttering start to their domestic campaign but was enough to trim the gap with leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to two points.
Champions Barca and King's Cup holders Atletico have both won all eight of their La Liga outings and play at Osasuna and Espanyol respectively later on Saturday.
Cristiano Ronaldo was comfortably Real's most dangerous player at the Bernabeu and the Portuguese forward curled a shot against the crossbar in the eighth minute against defensive-minded Malaga.
The visitors did well to keep Real at bay until halftime but fell behind in the first minute of the second half when Angel Di Maria whipped the ball over from the right and it evaded Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero's despairing dive before nestling in the back of the net.
Caballero was in inspired form and pulled off a brilliant stop to deny Ronaldo eight minutes from time and made another stunning save to palm away a low shot from substitute Jese two minutes later.
Real's record signing Gareth Bale, who has been out for several weeks with a thigh strain, came on for Alvaro Morata with some 15 minutes left, suggesting he could play a part against the Italian champions on Wednesday.
Bale won a late penalty when the referee ruled he was fouled by Weligton in the area and Ronaldo dispatched the spot kick low to Caballero's right for his eighth La Liga goal of the season.
Real have 22 points from nine matches, while Barca and Atletico can equal the best start in La Liga history if they maintain their perfect records.

It's long been assumed that the Giants and defensive end Osi Umenyiora would be parting ways after 10 years that featured a pair of Super Bowl titles and nearly constant complaining from Umenyiora about his contract.
The two sides agreed to a restructured contract that made 2014, which was to be the final year of the deal Umenyiora seemed to regret the moment he signed it, a voidable year in order to give Umenyiora a chance to become a free agent. Since the Giants chose that route rather than an extension, it signaled a desire to move on and Umenyiora said he thought it was time to move on himself in an interview just after the end of the season.
Despite that, Umenyiora said Thursday that he still harbors hope of remaining with the Giants. He acknowledges that he'd probably make more money elsewhere, although he says that money isn't the most important thing to him, and finishing his career with the team that made him a
firstsecond-round pick in 2003. If things don't work out that way, though, Umenyiora also said that he's open to playing his home games in the same stadium while wearing a different color.
"Rex Ryan, when I was coming out of college he was with Baltimore at the time and he came down to work me out at Troy, he came to Atlanta, just me and him," Umenyiora said, via the New York Post. "We had a pretty good time out there so I've always enjoyed him as a coach and as a person. That might be a good fit. Hopefully it will be with the Giants."
Such are the things that New York tabloid dreams are made of, but schematic and salary cap considerations probably mean that Umenyiora is going to wind up in another city altogether in 2013.

Survey: CMU students pay 10 percent more than competing institutions
Students at Central Michigan University pay 10.3 percent more to attend school than students at its peer institutions, according to the recently released Michigan Performance Tracker.
The MPT, run by Business Leaders for Michigan, shows the total cost for an on-campus, in-state undergraduate to attend CMU in 2010 was $21,391, while the national average is $19,182. The tracker provides an overview of Michigan's higher education achievement as compared to other universities both statewide and nationally.
CMU's tuition for the 2012-13 academic year was set at $365 per credit hour for in-state students, an increase of 1.96 percent from the $358 per credit hour students paid during the 2011-12 academic year.
Eastern Michigan University students pay $256 for courses with designators of 499 and below, while Western Michigan University students pay a $4,569 flat rate when taking between 12 and 15 credits, which transfers to about $342 per credit hour, and Grand Valley State University students pay $420 per credit hour when taking 11 credits or less.
Using research made available from Michigan's public universities, it seeks to determine the measures and outcomes Michigan's public universities generate and what aspects can be improved. It works to make Michigan a top higher education center and produce qualities in Michigan universities that will benefit the development of the local economy, according to the MPT website.
According to MPT, in 2010-11 Michigan's public universities had a total enrollment of 301,734 students. Of that, 28,292 students enrolled at CMU, making it the public university with the four highest enrollment for Michigan in those years, behind the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University.
CMU receives state appropriations per full time equivalent students at a level of $3,699, with an annual growth rate of -3.9 percent. This category is measured using data from fiscal year 2010. The national average for state appropriations is $6,929.
Total full-time equivalent enrollment for CMU from fall 2009 is at a level of 22,816, with an annual growth rate of 0.4 percent. The national average is 9,508.
CMU has a retention rate of 80 percent and placed in the U.S. Public Peers Top 20 Percent in 2010 with 77 percent, when the national average was 71 percent.
CMU's core university expenditures, meaning funds spent on instruction, research, student services, public service, administrative needs and other interests from 2010, total $316,549,340, with an annual growth rate of 0.5 percent. The national average for other public universities is $174,304,075.
CMU's core expenditures are broken down as spending 48 percent on instruction, 2 percent on research, 6 percent on public service, 21 percent on scholarships, academic support and student services, 9 percent on administrative expenditures and 14 percent on other operating expenditures.
CMU's core university revenues from 2010 are $351,883,958, with the national average at $219,691,725. Core university revenues are broken down as gaining 57.4 percent from tuition, 24 percent from state appropriations, 11.5 percent from grants and contracts, 5.5 percent from investment income and 1.6 percent from other core revenues.
In 2010, CMU's total research expenditures were at a level of $7,886,198, with an annual growth rate of 10.5 percent. The national average was $9,884,843, and the U.S. Public Peers Top 20 Percent level was $19,416,581.
For nearly 40 years, public universities have been grouped nationally into peer categories using the Carnegie Classification framework. The framework is based on publicly available data and is the standard for higher education research. Michigan's public universities fall into one of six Carnegie classes.
The classes are Very High Research Universities, High Research Universities, Doctoral Research Universities, Larger Master's Colleges and Universities, Medium Master's Colleges and Universities and Diverse Baccalaureate Colleges.
CMU lands in the Doctoral Research Universities category, meaning the university awards at least 20 doctorates each year but spends less money on research compared to other research universities.
Nationally, other public universities that fall into the same category include Illinois State University, South Carolina State University and Tennessee State University.

Hands-on with the Speedy Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G from Verizon
Posted by Michael Knutson in "Laptop Thoughts Talk" @ 10:00 AM
"By now, you should be familiar with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. We've done countless hands-ons with the super-svelte Honeycomb slate, and even reviewed it... twice! Now it's back, again, and this time its packing an LTE radio tuned to the frequencies of a little company known as Verizon. Outside of a few tiny cosmetic changes -- the brushed, gray plastic back and the rumored Micro SIM slot up top, nothing else has changed."
It appears, based on preliminary testing with this tablet, that Verizon's 4G is indeed super fast, with an average (repeatable) testing speed of 28+ Mbps downstream, and nearly 8Mbps upstream. Thunderbolt testing produced repeatable results of 44+ Mbps downstream, and 9+ Mbps upstream. Did I mention that this is fast?
If a compelling reason is needed to jettison existing hardware, software and carrier-relationship, this may be one! Now if only those pesky usage caps would disappear, or become more realistic.

It's cross-platform, can be distributed but don't think it's up to multiple writes on different mirrors though. > Indeed. There are many tough compromises in distributed filesystems. Alas there are many conflicting goals. Coherency vs performance is a big one, you pretty much get one or the other. Locking is another ugly one, databases and some applications assume bit range locking which is sometimes available, sometimes not. Many unix programs assuming posix locking, again sometimes available. So, unfortunately it's easy to ask for a distributed filesystem which does not exist. I'll provide my current brain dump on the various pieces I've been tracking, I'm sure there are some inaccuracies included, but hopefully they are small ones. As always comments and corrections welcome. A high level overview of opanafs: * Openafs is distributed, but not p2p. * performs well (assuming cache friendliness, and a single peer accessing the same files/directories) * scales well (for reads, because RO volumes can be replicated) * has a universal namespace * places little trust in a peer (getting root on a client != ability to read all files) * allows for transparent volume migration (the client doesn't complain when a volume is migrated) * perfect coherency (via a subscription model) * It also supports linux, OSX, and Windows (among others). * relatively complex. NFS in contrast: * Isn't distributed (unless you count automount) * has loose coherency (poll based) * No replication (corrections?) * Doesn't scale easily * Volume migration isn't easy (nfs4 claims to enable this, I've yet to see it demonstrated in the real world). * Is mostly unix specific (Microsoft had an NFS client but MS EoL'd it?) * relatively simple Lustre: * client server * scales extremely well, seems popular on the largest of clusters. * Can survive hardware failures assuming more than 1 block server is connected to each set of disks * unix only. * relatively complex. PVFS2: * Client server * scales well * can not survive a block server death. * unix only * relatively simple. * designed for use within a cluster. Oceanstore: * p2p * claims scalability to billions of users * Highly available/byzantine fault tolerant * complex * slow * in prototype stage * Requires use of an API (AFAIK it is not available as a transparently mounted filesystem) So the end result (from my skewed perspective) is: * NFS is hugely popular, easy, not very secure (at least by default), poor coherency, but for things like sharing /home within a cluster it works reasonably well. Seems most appropriate for LAN usage. Diskless to most implies NFS (and works well within a cluster or LAN). * Lustre and PVFS2 are popular in clusters for sharing files in larger clusters where more than single file server worth of bandwidth is required. Both I believe scale well with bandwidth but only allow for a single metadata server so will ultimately scale only as far as single machine for metadata intensive workloads (such as lock intensive, directory intensive, or file creation/deletion intensive workloads). Granted this also allows for exotic hardware solutions (like solid state storage) if you really need the performance. * AFS is popular for internet wide file service, researchers love the ability to run an application that requires 100 different libraries anywhere in the world. Sysadmins love it because then can migrate volumes without having to notify users or schedule downtime. I believe performance is usually somewhat less than NFS within a cluster (because of higher overhead), and usually significantly better outside a cluster (better caching and coherency). I'm less familiar with the various commercial filesystems like ibrix. Hopefully others will expand and correct the above.

No-one will catch Mercedes - Massa
Felipe Massa does not think anyone can catch up with Mercedes this year.
Mercedes has won the first four races by more than 20 seconds from its nearest rival and heads to the Spanish Grand Prix as favourites. Massa's Williams has been in the running for top six finishes this year but has failed to score the points to reflect its potential. However, he does not think any of Mercedes' rivals will get close to matching its cars on outright pace.
"I don't think so. In my experience, normally from the first race to the last race there has been improvement of 1.5s, and in a year like this there can be bigger improvement compared to the last. If the others grew 1.5s it would still not be enough to catch Mercedes, because they will improve as well. Even if Mercedes only improve 0.5s, they still have a car to win the last race [of the season]."
All teams will bring upgrades to this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix and Massa believes that may cancel out the improvements his team has found since the last race.
"We have some new parts in the car, it's not something that will completely change the car but it is important to keep developing the car. I hope we can have a step forwards, but it's also true that the other teams will as well. Sometimes it's difficult to say we will improve our car because we didn't see it on the track, but that's because there are improvements from everybody. We need to keep growing as well and that is what we are working for."
However, Massa is confident the updates will improve the car after a season of struggling to get new parts to work at Ferrari last year.
"100%. Last year I don't remember one race where we brought a new part and it worked. And we had a lot of new parts and at most of the races it never worked and we removed it on Friday evening.
"The work we have been doing at Williams with new parts, the only thing which we couldn't use yet was a bigger rear wing that wasn't working at the first race. We keep trying to use it, but that's the only thing, everything thing else we brought is in the car. I am really 100% sure that the new parts here will work and the new parts at the next race and every other race should work."

By Eliot Brown | The Wall Street Journal
Back when the redevelopment of the World Trade Center was in its nascent stages, the Toyko-based architecture firm Maki and Associates was lured to design one of the four towers at the country's most closely-watched development project without much fanfare.
"It was a fax," Gary Kamemoto, a director at Maki, said on a recent tour of the building. The transmission was from Silverstein Properties, the developer of the project, who was reaching out after receiving a recommendation, he said. "It was just consultation – were we interested, or were we not?"
They were.
The result, roughly a decade later, is 4 World Trade Center, the 72-story Maki-designed tower that Wednesday becomes the first building to open on the 16-acre site. While it won't be until at least mid-2014 that its tenants –a city agency and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey –complete the build-out of their office space and move in, developer Larry Silverstein has finished his work on the building, commemorated with a ribbon cutting scheduled for Wednesday.
People look up at a reflection of the One World Trade Center tower from a terrace on the 57th floor of 4 World Trade Center tower recently.
The tower is the simplest of the four planned for the site, a minimalist design characterized by a silvery glass straight exterior that sets back only once, at the 57th floor. At 977 feet, it is the shortest building, 799 feet lower than the top of the spire at One World Trade Center, which is being built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. And it grew quickly, at least compared with other components of the 16-acre site, as it started construction from the base of the site's bathtub in 2008.
But like all of the towers at the World Trade Center – it could use more tenants.
The city and the Port Authority have leased about half of the building's 2.3 million square feet. One World Trade Center, meanwhile, is about 55% leased and set to open to the public in 2015.
Mr. Silverstein's planned 3 World Trade Center has received a commitment from one tenant—advertising firm GroupM—for about a fifth of the space, although construction there is stopped at eight stories until the lease is signed and financing is secured. And 2 World Trade Center, also a Silverstein development, is stalled at ground level until a tenant is found.
The sluggish progress is largely attributed to a slow leasing market throughout Manhattan. Growth has been slow or non-existent among the city's big tenants, particularly within the financial sector, and few are willing to pay the high prices associated with moving to new space.
Of course, until more tenants move in, the floors won't go completely unused.
Mr. Silverstein's company plans to make use of the empty floors atop the tower. As the company did for 7 World Trade Center after it opened in 2006 – that building sits just north of the main World Trade Center site – it plans to rent out the floors for parties and events, offering raw concrete floors with great views of Lower Manhattan and the harbor.

In Frankie Piliere's Farm System Rankings for FanHouse, he places the Astros delicately at #29:
It may not seem that way given this ranking, but Houston is headed in the right direction. Jason Castro has been strong and proved many doubters wrong. At the lower levels, a number of high-upside arms like Jordan Lyles and Ross Seaton have emerged. There is work to be done, but the Astros are on track.
He also has two members of Eddie's Farm in the Top 100 prospects list: Jason Castro (#27), and Jordan Lyles (#99).

Hey, a writer who doesn't have us in dead last! That's progress, all right!
I'm excited to see how many places we jump after this year's draft.

There should be a pretty substantial jump, I would imagine. Then maybe we could not hear about how the farm team is a combined 1,045 games under .500 between 2010-2019.

Mitt Romney unleashed the N-word on John McCain today, accusing him of using campaign tactics "reminiscent of the Nixon era." "I don't think I want to see our party go back to that kind of campaigning," Romney said. He was referring to McCain's misleading charge that Romney, like Congressional Democrats, had advocated a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq.
I agree with Romney's complaint about McCain's attack, but I'm not sure the Nixon comparison is apt. My recollection of Nixon's career is that he was at least as often the target as the perpetrator of unfair attacks. For example, it's hard to think of a charge made in the midst of a Presidential campaign more misleading than John Kennedy's invocation of a fictitious "missile gap" with its attendant implication that Nixon was soft on Communism. I can understand why the Democrats like to demonize Nixon, but there isn't much to be gained by Republicans joining in the effort. Given that Romney is appealing to Republican primary voters, it would make more sense to call McCain's distortions "Clintonian."
UPDATE: Our friend Seth Leibsohn reminds me of something I'd forgotten: Romney's derogation of Nixon is especially inappropriate, given that his father served in Nixon's cabinet for four years.
